THE  FRESNO  MEETING  of  the  Breeders  Asso- 
ciation will  open  Wednesday,  July  19th.  The 
purses  for  this  meeting  which  have  already  closed 
have  the  best  and  fastest  trotters  and  pacers  now  in 
training  in  California  entered  in  them  and  six  addi- 
tional purses  for  other  classes  will  close  one  week  from 
Monday  next  with  every  prospect  of  filling  well. 
The  date  selected  for  the  Fresno  meeting  just  suits 
the  people  of  that  section  as  it  will  he  at  a  time  when 
they  are  not  busy  with  their  crops,  consequently  all 
will  have  an  opportunity  to  attend.  The  burning  of 
the  splendid  grandstand  at  the  Fresno  track  two 
weeks  ago  was  a  disaster  that  seems  d  almost  irrepara- 
ble, but  with  characteristic  energy  and  resourceful- 
ness the  committee  of  Fresno  citizens  through  whose 
efforts  the  Breeders  were  induced  to  select  their  city 
as  a  place  for  the  Breeders  meeting,  went  to  work  and 
a  new  grandstand  will  adorn  the  track  that,  while 
but  a  temporary  affair,  will  accommodate  2000  people 
and  be  one  of  the  unique  features  of  the  meeting. 
The  stand  which  is  to  be  200  feet  long  will  have  its 
roof  and  sides  made  of  palm  leaves  so  closely  laid  as 
to  keep  out  all  sun  and  they  would  even  shed  rain 
were  a  shower  to  fall  which  is  a  very  improbable 
thing  in  Fresno  in  June,  July  or  August.  As  visitors 
to  Fresno  well  know,  many  of  the  streets,  avenues  and 
country  roads  there  are  lined  with  immense  fan 
palms,  and  the  committee  has  secured  enough  of  these 
monster  leaves  to  cover  the  new  grandstand  com- 
pletely. They  will  be  arranged  in  an  artistic  manner, 
and  it  will  pay  one  to  visit  the  fair  groundaduring  the 
meeting  to  see  this  structure,  as  it  will  be  one  of  the 
prettieBt  features  ever  placed  on  a  race  track.  The 
Fresno  palm  grandstand  when  it  is  filled  with  the 
beauty  of  the  city  and  country  side,  attired  in  light 
summer  costumes  will  be  a  veritable  fairy  bower. 


THE  AUGUST  MEETING  of  tbe  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  will  be  held 
at  Santa  Rosa.  At  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  directors 
held  on  Wednesday  of  this  week,  the  proposition  of 
the  Santa  Rosa  people,  presented  by  Mr.  Frank 
Turner,  wa9  accepted,  and  the  annual  meeting  at 
which  the  big  $6000  colt  stakes  and  the  $2000  trotting 
and  $1500  pacing  events  for  aged  horses  are  decided, 
will  be  held  at  the  beautiful  property  of  the  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm  situated  just  outside  the  City  of 
Roses.  The  dates  selected  for  the  meeting  are  August 
16th,  17th,  18th  and  19th,  which  allows  two  weeks 
between  this  meeting  and  the  State  Fair  and  gives 
Woodland  or  some  other  place  an  opportunity  to  give 
a  meeting.  Santa  Rosa  is  one  of  the  most  delightful 
places  in  California  at  which  to  hold  harness  racing. 
The  climate  is  perfect,  the  hotel  accommodations 
ample  and  excellent,  the  people  are  liberal  in  their 
patronage  of  the  sport  and  the  track  fast  and  safe, 
and  the  appointments  everything  that  can  be  desired. 
Every  meeting  ever  held  by  tbe  Breeders  association 
at  Santa  Rosa  has  been  an  unqualified  success  and  the 
one  this  year  promises  to  be  the  best  ever  given  there. 


CRANK  W.  COVEY,  for  many  years  Superintend- 
ent of  the  great  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm,  died  at 
his  home  in  Redwood  City  at  an  early  hour,  June 
27th.  While  his  death  was  not  unexpected  its  an- 
nouncement came  as  a  shook  to  a  legion  of  friends 
throughout  the  country.  From  his  boyhood  up  to 
the  closing  of  the  horse  breeding  department  last 
year  Frank  Covey  has  been  connected  with  Palo 
Alto  Stock  Farm,  filling  during  recent  years  the  re- 
sponsible position  of  Superintendent  of  that  once 
great  breeding  establishment.  It  was  his  father, 
Harrison  R.  Covey,  who  more  than  any  other  person 
advised  with  and  assisted  the  late  Leland  Stanford  In 
establishing  that  great  farm,  and  who  was  its  super- 
intendent for  many  year=,  occupying  that  position  at 
the  time  of  his  death.  Frank  W.  Covey  was  born  in 
Sacramento,  California,  and  was  48  years  of  age.  He 
was  a  prominent  member  of  the  Native  Sons,  Past 
President  of  Stanford  Parlor  of  that  order,  was 
also  a  member  of  the  Elks,  and  a  Director  of  the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture  at  the  time  of  his 
death.  No  person  was  so  closely  connected  with 
Palo  Alto  Farm  or  had  such  an  intricate  knowl- 
edge of  its  history.  He  was  a  ready  writer,  and 
over  the  nom  de  plume  of  Rio  Alto  has  furnished 
many  valuable  articles  to  the  papers  devoted  to  the 
interests  of  harness  horses.  He  was  a  student  of 
breeding,  and  in  his  position  as  Superintendent  of 
Palo  Alto  Farm,  tried  to  carry  out  the  plans  of  its 
noted  founder.  At  the  closing  out  sale  of  the  farm 
Mr.  Covey  remarked  that  the  point  the  late  Senator 
Stanford  aimed  at  in  breeding  trotters  had  just  been 
reached  and  that  the  young  colts  and  fillies  bred  dur- 
ing the  last  two  or  three  years  of  tbe  farm's  existence 
would  be  the  sires  and  dams  of  faster  and  better  trot- 
ters than  any  the  farm  has  heretofore  produced.  All 
the  big  sales  of  Palo  Alto  stock  during  recent  years 
were  managed  by  Mr.  Covey  and  during  bis  numerous 
Eastern  trips  he  met  all  the  prominent  breeders  and 
owners  of  harness  horses  in  America,  making  warm 
friends  wherever  he  went.  During  the  past  year  he 
has  been  a  sufferer  from  diabetes  and  for  several 
months  prior  to  his  death  was  confined  to  his  house. 
To  mourn  his  death  he  leaves  a  sorrowing  wife,  three 
sisters  and  one  brother,  who  will  have  the  sincere 
sympathy  of  everyone  who  ever  knew  genial  Frank 
Covey.  Funeral  services  will  be  held  today  at  2:30 
o'clock,  at  Native  Sons  Hall  this  city,  and  will  be 
under  the  auspices  of  Stanford  Parlor,  N.  S.  G.  W. 


CALIFORNIA'S  STATE  FAIR  will  be  on  new 
lines  this  year,  and  it  need  not  surprise  anyone 
if  the  attendance  is  greater  than  ever  in  the  history 
of  this  institution.  We  learn  that  the  exhibit  of  draft 
stallions  alone  promises  to  be  one  of  the  greatest  ever 
held  in  the  United  States.  It  is  said  that  one  Eastern 
firm  will  ship  fifty  Peroheron  stallions  to  the  Cali- 
fornia State  Fair,  where  they  will  be  exhibited  before 
being  taken  north  to -the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition. 
Many  other  Eastern  firms  will  make  exhibits  of  draft 
and  coach  horses.  Last  year's  exhibit  of  draft  stock 
was  a  grand  display  but  this  year's  exhibit  will  be  far 
larger  and  better  in  every  way.  The  program  of  har- 
ness races  is  the  best  offered  by  the  State  society  in 
years,  providing  for  three  races  each  day  and  includ- 
ing three  great  stakes  for  three-year-old  trotters,  in 
all  of  which  there  are  large  entry  lists.  The  date  of 
closing  for  the  class  races  for  harness  horses  is  Mon- 
day, July  10th.  Horsemen  should  not  forget  the  date. 
Owners  and  trainers  will  have  a  line  on  all  the  horses 
in  training  and  know  just  where  to  enter.  Don't 
miss  the  State  Fair  this  year. 


WESTERN  MONTANA  will  give  a  big  fair  and 
race  meeting  in  September,  opening  on  the 
26th.  There  are  two  $1000  purses  for  trotters  and 
two  of  the  same  value  for  pacers.  Entries  close  July 
10th  for  these  rich  events.  California  horsemen  who 
race  at  home  this  year  will  be  able  to  take  in  the  en  tire 
California  circuit  and  then  ship  to  Montana  in  time 
for  the  circuit  there,  as  our  State  Fair  closes  Sept. 
9th,  two  full  weeks  before  the  Montana  Fair  at 
Missoula  begins.  Read  the  Western  Montana  Fair 
Associations  advertisement  in  this  issue. 


MATINEE  RACING  is  growing  in  popularity  with 
the  people  in  all  sections  where  it  is  indulged  in. 
The  term  matinee  racing  is  properly  applied  to 
amateur  sport  pure  and  simple  and  not  to  racing  for 
small  purses  on  Saturday  afternoons  and  holidays 
with  a  book-making  adjunct.  While  these  one  day 
meetings  where  small  purses  are  raced  for  are  often 
called  matinees,  they  are  professional  races  and  so 
recognized  by  all  authorities.  Real  matinee  racing 
by  gentlemen's  driving  clubs,  where  no  money  is 
wagered  or  won,  where  admission  is  free  and  only  love 
of  the  sport  and  the  desire  to  drive  the  fastest  mile  is 
the  reward,  is  one  of  the  most  popular  of  recreations, 
as  well  as  one  of  the  very  best  for  the  improvement 
and  maintenance  of  health.    New  York,   Cleveland, 


Buffalo,  Philadelphia,  Boston  and  other  Eastern  cities 
have  amateur  ciubs  of  this  kind,  and  on  this  Coast 
Los  Angeles  has  a  high-class  amateur  association 
that  while  it  is  not  yet  a  member  of  the  Amateur 
League  will  doubtless  take  membership  in  that 
organization  before  long.  San  Francisco  will  have  an 
amateur  club  as  soon  as  the  new  speed  track  in  Golden 
Gate  Park  is  completed,  which  should  be  second  to 
none  in  personnel  as  well  as  the  number  of  its  member- 
ship. 


Candidate  for  the  Stallion  Record. 


A  correspondent  of  this  journal  who  was  in  San 
Jose  last  week  writes:  "While  viewing  the  improve- 
ments and  watching  the  horses  take  their  work  I  saw 
that  beautiful  stallion  Kinney  Lou  2:07},  the  fastest 
entire  son  of  the  great  $50,000  McKinney.  Near  the 
drawgate  stood  Mr.  Doble,  owner,  of  Kinney  Lou,  all 
attention  and  closely  watching  Mb  mighty  trotter. 
Kinney  Lou  was  being  driven  by  Will  Forbes,  a  quiet 
and  gentlemanly  young  man  of  proved  ability,  who 
under  the  watchful  eye  of  Budd  Doble  will  some  day 
rank  among  the  famous  ones.  After  seeing  Kinney 
Lou  jogged  I  went  to  the  Doble  stables  where  all  are 
welcomed  and  cordially  entertaiqed.  I  approached 
the  great  reinsman  and  asked  him  if  it  were  true  as 
reported  that  Kinney  Lou  would  beitaken  East  next 
year  to  race.  'Yes, '  was  the  reply,  'it  is  my  intention 
to  prepare  Kinney  Lou  next  year  to  capture  the 
world's  stallion  record  for  trotters,  and  I  sincerely 
believe  him  equal  to  the  task.'  This  will  be  good 
news  to  all  admirers  of  the  horse  and  bis  owner,  and 
here's  hoping  that  the  driver  of^Dexter,  Goldsmith 
Maid  and  Nancy  Hanks  may  bring  back  to  California 
the  trotting  stallion  crown.  With-  Forbes  to  care  for 
the  horse,  and  Doble  to  drive  himwe  may  know  that 
Kinney  Lou  will  get  there  if  it  is  irrhim,  and  there  are 
some  of  us  here  who  tbink  the  son  of  McKinney  will 
not  Btop  more  than  a  second  short  of  two  minutes 
when  he  is  ready  and  fit  for  a  record  breaking  mile." 


What  Mr.  Billings  Thinks  of   Lou's    Condition. 

n6 

Lou  Dillon  reached  Cleveland  iniine  shape  after  a 
good  trip  across  the  continent,  and  a  short  stop  at 
Chicago  where  Mr.  Billings  had  her  led  to  the  resi- 
dence of  his  aged  mother  that  she  might  take  a  look 
at  the  world's  champion  trotter- 

Budd  Doble  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  Billings  a 
few  days  ago,  and  from  it  we  have  been  permitted  to 
copy  the  following  paragraph: 

"The  mare  arrived  in  Cleveland  safe  and  sound, 
and  I  went  there  last  Saturday, -and  while  it  rained 
ton  much  for  a  matinee,  I  jogged  Lou  around  the 
Park,  Tanner  driving  Delmar.  She  went  very  nicely 
for  me.  I  walked  her  a  good  deal  of  the  way  and  let 
her  go  on  a  slow  jog  the  balance.  She  certainly  is  im- 
proved in  manners  and  everyone. is.  delighted  with 
her  condition,  which  speaks  highly Jfor  you.'' 


A  Fine  Stabler 
:U 

Out  at  the  corner  of  Devisedero  and  Fulton  streets, 
Mr.  T.  C.  Cabney,  tbe  well  knpwn  trainer,  who 
campaigned  Morosco  2:12  the  biggest,  winner  on  the 
California  circuit  last  year,  has  opened  a  training 
stable.  He  has  fitted  up  25  nice  box  stalls  and  nearly 
all  are  occupied  already.  He  hasten  horses  belonging 
to  Mr.  Mabry  McMahan,  the  prominent  real  estate 
dealer,  among  them  Mr.  McMahan's  favorite  horse  I 
Direct  2:12j,  son  of  Direct  2:05J  and  the  great  brood- 
mare Francisca  by  Almont  33.  I  Direct  will  be  in  the 
stud  at  the  Cabney  stables  during  the  summer  and 
fall  months,  and  San  Francisco  owners  of  good  mares 
will  thus  have  an  opportunity  to  breed  to  one  of  the 
best  bred  and  fastest  sons  of  the  great  Direet.  Mattie 
B.  2:I5J  by  Alex  Button,  and  the  fast  mare  Mission 
Belle,  both  owned  by  Mr.  McMahan  are  also  stabled 
there.  Owners  desiring  their  horses  trained  for  park, 
road  or  track  driving  should  call  on  Mr.  Cabney  and 
get  his  terms.  His  new  6tables  are  most  convenient 
and  complete  in  every  why. 

Park  Commissioner  W.  J.  Dingee  purchased  from 
the  San  Francisco  Wheel  and  Novelty  Company  at 
16th  and  Valencia  streets,  this  week,  a  white  enameled 
Flower  City  cart,  that  is  about  the  handsomest  thing 
of  its  kind  that  ever  came  to  this  Coast.  Mr.  Dingee 
had  the  cart  shipped  to  his  country  home  near  Red- 
wood City.  ._ 

The  Hulda  Stables  on  Fell  street,. facing  the  Park 
panhandle,  are  now  under  tbe  management  of  A.  J. 
Martin,  who  is  conducting  a  first-class  livery  and 
boarding  stable.  The  finest  box  stalls  In  the  city  are 
in  this  establishment  and  good  rigs  are  ready  at  all 
times.  

The  New  Zealand  Referee  says  the   American   trot- 
ting stallion  Rex  Derby  by  Cbas.  Derby,  which    was 
sold  a  year  or  so  ago   to  New   Zealand    parti' 
recently  put  up  at  auction  there  and  sold  to  Mr.   ^ 
Weatherby  of  Mortlake  for  105  guineas.

JOTTINGS. 


SWEET  MARIE  AND  TIVERTON  will  meet 
several  times  this  year.  Few  horsemen  can  be 
found  who  do  not  believe  that  the  California  mare 
can  "put  it  all  over"  the  fast  gelding  by  Galileo  Res 
in  a  three-in-five  race,  but  many  are  expressirg  the 
opinion  ihat  McKinney's  great  daughter  will  have 
just  about  all  she  can  attend  to  if  she  leads  Tiverlon 
to  the  wire  in  a  race  where  but  two  heats  are  required 
to  win.  I  may  be  a  little  prejudiced  in  favor  of  Cali- 
fornia horses  in  general  and  the  McKinneys  in  par- 
ticular, but  I  don't  believe  that  Tiverton  can  beat 
Sweet  Marie  in  a  two-iu-three  race  when  both  are  fit, 
although  nearly  every  person  who  has  seen  them  both 
6oys  the  gelding  has  the  highest  rate  of  speed  and  can 
get  away  faster  than  the  mare  can.  I  have  never 
seen  Tiverton,  but  judging  from  his  numerous  photo- 
graphs and  descriptions  by  those  who  have  seen  him, 
I  take  it  that  he  is  a  little  on  the  delicate  order, 
though  game  as  a  pebble,  and  a  horse  tbat  will  try 
with  all  the  strength  tbat  nature  has  endowed  him 
with.  The  horse  that  defeats-  Sweet  Marie  must 
be  several  seconds  faster  than  she,  or  one  tbat 
is  fully  as  fast  and  just  as  robust  and  strong.  The 
records  sho  jv  that  Tiverton  got  his  mark  of  2:04.} 
in  a  second  heat  after  trotting  a  mile  in  2:05 
with  Sweet  Marie  a  length  behind  in  the  first  heat 
and  only  beaten  a  head  in  the  second.  Then  the  mare 
won  the  third  heat  in  2:05  after  Tiverton  had  led  most 
of  the  way.  She  was  trotting  strong  at  the  finish, 
while  he  was  all  in,  and  in  the  remaining  heats  was 
last  each  time.  Iu  the  fifth  and  last  heat,  which  was 
in  2:09  Sweet  Marie  trotted  the  last  quarter  In  31 
seconds  and  looked  to  be  able  to  trot  three  or  four 
more  heats  in  2:10  if  necessary.  Now  a  mare  with 
such  wonderful  speed,  strength  and  endurance  will  be 
a  very  hard  one  to  beat  in  any  sort  of  a  race.  She  can 
make  an  antagonist  trot  so  fast  the  first  heat  to 
defeat  her,  that  unless  he  has  as  much  endurance  as 
she,  he  will  be  unable  to  keep  in  front  of  her  in  any 
succeeding  heat.  In  a  race  of  heats  endurance  will 
win  where  speed  is  equal  provided  the  horses  are  driven 
to  the  limit  from  the  start,  and  in  a  match  race  this  is 
the  plan  which  the  driver  of  the  stronger  hone 
usually  adopts.  If  McDonald  should  allow  the  driver 
of  Tiverton  to  get  off  in  the  lead,  and  wait  until  the 
stretch  is  reached  before  beginning  to  race  him,  the 
gelding  may  win  two  heats,  but  if  the  duel  starts  when 
the  word  is  given  and  the  gelding  is  compelled  to 
dispute  every  inch  of  the  way  from  wire  to  wire,  my 
opinion  is  that  the  California  mare  will  take  him  in'o 
camp  this  year  as  she  did  last.  There  is  no  more  con- 
sistent or  honest  trotter  than  Tiverton  and  his  owner 
Mr.  A.  B.  Gwathmey  of  New  York  is  a  gentleman  in 
every  sense  of  the  word.  Between  Mr.  Gwathmey  and 
Mr.  Garland  there  will  be  a  friendly  and  generous 
rivalry  when  their  great  trotters  start,  and  whether 
the  gelding  or  mare  is  crowned  with  the  laurel  of 
victory,  the  public  can  rest  assured  that  the  best 
horse  on  that  day  has  won.  H. 

Wide  Open  Gambling  Unnecessary. 

An  effort  has  been  made  to  raise  a  subscription 
among  the  business  men  of  Woodland  to  aid  the  hold- 
ing of  a  fair  and  race  meeting  this  fall.  The  super- 
visors of  the  county  offered  to  appropriate  $1000  for 
premiums  for  live  stock  owned  in  the  county,  and  the 
outlook  seemed  good  for  one  of  Woodland's  high 
class  fairs  until  a  number  of  liquor  dealers  refused  to 
subscribe  unless  the  city  and  county  authorities  would 
allow  the  town  to  bo  "wide  open"  during  fair  week- 
In  other  words,  that  gambling  (which  is  now  prohib- 
ited by  ordinance)  should  be  permitted.  As  these 
liquor  dealers  have  heretofore  been  among  the  largest 
subscribers  to  the  fair  and  race  fund,  it  was  feared 
that  the  loss  of  their  subscriptions  would  prevent  the 
fair  being  held,  as  the  committee  considered  it  could 
not  make  a  success  of  the  meeting  without  thatmoney. 
An  appeal  was  made  to  the  District  Attorney  to  shut 
his  eyes  to  the  law  for  one  weoK  and  permit  gambling 
garnet.  Tbls  appeal  was  replied  to  In  the  following 
terse  terms: 

To  the  Public:  Numerous  parties  have  interviewed 
ma  and  requested  that  the  District  Attorney's  office 
not  Interfere  with  gambling  In  Woodland  during  fair 
week.  Il  has  been  stated  that  sufficient  money  cannot 
be  raised  by  public  subscription  unless  gam 
allowed,  because  curtain  Interests  will  not  contribute 
unless  gambling  can  be  carried  on  in  their  places  of 
)t.  In  fact,  it  has  been  stated  that  If  the 
District  Attorney  did  not  permit  gambling,  there 
would  be  no   fair  and    I  o   assume   the 

responsibility  for  th  j  failure  to  hold  a  race  mc. 
Woodland.    It  Is  difficult    to  unci.  i,y    this 

slatement  should  be  made,  when  tie  law  makr«"it,  the 
duty   of  the  sheriff,  constable  and    poi 
well  as  the  District   Attorney,  to  enforce  the  laws 


against  gambling.    Section  335   of   the  Penal  Code 
reads  as  follows: 

•'Duties  of  district  attorneys,  sheriffs,  and  others. 
Every  District  Attorney,  sheriff,  constable,  or  police 
officer  must  inform  against  and  diligently  prosecute 
persons  whom  they  have  reasonable  cause  to  believe 
offenders  against  the  provisions  of  thi6  chapter,  and 
every  such  officer  refusing  or  neglecting  to  do  so,  is 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor." 

An  officer  cannot  enforce  a  law  for  fifty-one  weeks 
in  a  year,  and  then  permit  it  to  be  violated  during  the 
ti  fly-second  week.  I  wish  to  say  that  gambling  will 
not  be  permitted  during  fair  week,  or  at  any  other 
time,  fair  or  no  fair,  if  it  is  in  my  power  to  prevent  it. 
I  am  sworn  to  do  my  duty  without  fear  or  favor  and 
it  is  my  purpose  to  and  I  will  so  perform  the  duties  of 
my  office.  A  successful  fair  does  not  in  my  judgment, 
depend  on  gambling.  A  wide  open  town  attracts  short 
card  and  sure  thing  men,  bunko  steerers  and  nil  kinds 
of  sharps,  who  come  not  to  promote  our  stock-raising 
Interests  but  to  fleece  the  public.  I  earnestly  ask  all 
of  our  people  to  contribute  towards  the  fair  and  show 
it  is  not  necessary  to  violate  the  laws  of  the  land  in 
order  to  hold  a  fair  in  Yolo  county.  The  District 
Attorney  has  no  more,  right  to  permit  gambling  in 
violation  of  the  law,  than  he  has  to  allow  the  com- 
mission of  murder,  arson  or  aDy  other  offense.  It  is  a 
crime  against  the  law.  Any  officer  who  neglects  to 
inform  against  and  diligently  prosecute  persons  play- 
ing illegal  games  is  a  lawbreaker,  under  section  335  of 
the  Penal  Code.  This  is  sufficient  justification  for  my 
position.  The  people  of  tbis  county  certainly  know 
this.  Furthermore,  the  Board  of  Supervisors  has 
passed  a  liquor  erdinance  prohibiting  games  for 
money  in  all  saloons  and  expect  me  to  rigidly 
enforce  the  same  How  could  the  District  Attorney 
enforce  the  laws  against  the  country  saloonmen  and 
permit  gambling  in  Woodland  fair  week?  All  sball  be 
treated  alike.  All  who  break  the  law  shall  be  prose- 
cuted. It  is  my  intention  to  do  my  duty.  I  propose 
to  hew  to  the  line  and  let  the  chips  fall  where  they 
may. 

I  make  this  statement  to  prevent  any  misapprehen- 
sion as  to  my  position.     There  will  be  no  gambling. 
Harry  L.  Huston, 
District  Attorney. 

District  Attorney  Huston  is  right  in  this  matter.  A 
fair  and  race  meeting  should  not  be  dependent  upon  a 
fund  subscribed  with  the  proviso  that  the  laws  shou'.d 
be  disregarded  during  fair  week.  It  will  be  better  for 
all  concerned  if  the  association  at  Woodland  takes  the 
District  Attorney's  advice  and  tries  to  get  along  with- 
out the  contributions  of  those  who  desire  to  have  a 
wide  open  town.  Breeders  and  owners  of  harness 
horses  would  much  rather  have  the  tinhorn  fraternity 
prohibited  from  running  their  games,  as  their  pres- 
ence leads  many  to  associate  the  sport  of  harness  rac- 
ing with  petty  gambling,  which  is  unfair  to  a  class  of 
citizens  that  has  done  and  is  doing  much  to  build  up 
the  horse  breeding  interests  of  this  State. 


A  Speedy  Lot. 

Frank  Turner,  lessee  of  the  Santa  Rosa  track, 
stepped  a  bunch  of  his  young  Sidney  Dillons  last 
Siturday.  Carlocita,  a  three-year-old  pacing  filly, 
worked  a  mile  in  2:23},  last  half  in  1:081  and  last 
quarter  in  33  seconds.  Carrie  Dillon,  a  two-year-old 
pacer,  went  her  mile  in  2:31,  half  !n  1:14  and  last 
quarter  in  35J  seconds.  Kate  Dillon,  a  two-year-old 
pacer,  worked  a  mile  in  2:26,  la6t  half  in  1:10  and  last 
quarter  in  34}  seconds.  The  following  Tuesday  Kate 
Dillon  stepped  an  eighth  in  151  seconds,  and  Carlocita 
an  eighth  in  16  seconds.  Of  the  trotters  worked 
Saturday  Judge  Dillon,  a  two-year-old  that  has  been 
worked  but  eight  times,  went  a  quarter  in  42  seconds 
and  an  eighth  in  201  seconds.  Guy  Dillon,  a  three- 
year-old,  trotted  amile  in  2:46,  half  in  l:18and  quarter 
in  371  seconds.  Clay  Dillon,  a  two-year-old,  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:48,  last  quarter  in  39  seconds.  Lottie  Dillon 
(2)  worked  in  2:53,  last  quarter  in  40  seconds  and 
Rapidan  Dillon,  also  two  years  old,  trotted  her  mile 
in  3:00  with  the  last  quarter  in  40  seconds.  Henry 
Parrity  the  same  day  worked  his  two-year-old  colt 
Bravo  Dillon,  out  of  Russie  Russell  a  mile  in  2:33,  last 
half  in  1:13  and  last  quarter  in  36  seconds.  Mr.  Turner 
worked  his  yearling  trotter  by  F.  S.  Turner  a  half  in 
1:27  and  last  quarter  in  40  seconds. 

The  colts  at  the  Santa  Rosa  track  seemed  to  have 
all  been  exposed  to  the  speed  disease  and  it  breaks 
out  in  them  as  soon  as  they  are  hitched  up.  Mr. 
Turner  has  the  track  in  fine  shape  and  will  have 
everything  in  apple  pie  order  for  the  Breeders  Meet- 
ing which  will  op  n  thoie  July  19tb. 


Ten  Thousand  Dollars  tor  a  Coach  Stallion. 


A  dispatch  from  Cheyenne,  Wyoming.states:  -'The

HORSE  SHOW  DATES  CHANGED. 

Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition,  Sept.   19   and   29. 

After  due  consideration  and  request  among  the 
horse  breeders  of  various  districts,  the  management 
of  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition  have  decided  to 
change  the  date  of  the  horse  show  of  the  live  stock 
exhibit  of  the  Exposition,  to  correspond  with  that  of 
the  cattle  show,  which  will  combine  all  the  stock  ex- 
hibit within  the  period  (September  19th  and  29th 
inclusive)  these  dates  will  not  conflict  with  the  North- 
west Fair  circuit  nor  other  neighboring  State  Fairs  at

The  Typical  Horse. 

San  Bernardino,  Cal.,  June  21,  1905. 

To  the  Editor  of  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  Dear 
Sir — I  have  read  Mr.  Hodgkins'  article  on  "The 
Popular  Horse"  in  your  issue  of  June  17th,  and  I 
think  his  ideas  and  theories  are  all  right  as  far  as  they 
go,  but  I  believe  the  ambition  of  the  American  breeder 
should  go  beyond  this. 

I  believe  the  coming  and  typical  American  horse 
will  be  a  true  representative  of  one  of  our  largest 
sized  Hambletonian  families;  one  which  with  mate 
(both  trotting)  hitched  to  carriage,  will  pull  four  per- 
sons of  average  weight  ten  miles  over  a  good  country 
road  in  thirty  minutes,  and  repeat  the  performance 
in  forty-eight  hours. 

We  know  that  it  was  forty  years  ago  that  Lady 
Suffolk  trotted  twenty  miles  inside  the  hour,  and  that 
pulling  a  cumbersome  cart  weighing  at  least  150 
pounds,  and  she  was  a  small  mare  compared  with  my 
ideal  American  horse. 

We  know  that  somewhere  back  in  the  early  seven- 
ties (1873  or  4)  a  Hambletonian  named  Woburn, 
weighing  1350  or  thereabouts,  trotted  a  mile  in  less 
than  three  minutes. 

Considering  these  things  and  the  constantly  ir- 
craa6ing  knowledge  and  methods  of  breeding  during 
this  forty  years'  interval  since  Lady  Suffolk  performed 
her  great  feat,  we  should  look  for  results  tending  to 
produce  such  horses  as  will  accomplish  the  task  I  have 
Bet  for  them  to  do. 

The  horse  should  weigh  1300  pounds  or  more.  He 
should  be  standard  bred  with  a  strong  infusion  of 
"hot  blood"  or  thoroughbred. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  go  into  details  and  describe 
all  the  qualities  requisite  in  such  a  horEe,  but  suffice 
it  to  say  that  he  must  have  fair  speed  and  heart  and 
good  old-fashioned  gameness  and  staying  powers. 

How  many  teams  are  there  to-day  that  can  do  this 
stunt,  and  repeat  it  the  next  day  but  one? 

I  will  venture  to  say  there  are  not  many. 

I  believe  the  coming  "popular  horse,"  the  horse 
that  will  command  the  highest  price,  therefore  the 
most  profitable  horse  for  breeders,  the  horse  that 
might  be  considered  a  general  purpose  horse,  as  he 
will  be  heavy  enough  for  general  farm  work,  will  be 
the  horse  above  described. 

Why  do  not   some  of  our  driving  associations  effer 
good  prizes  for  contests  of  the  class  mentioned? 
Very  respectfully, 

John  0  McMullen-, 


Caught  Another  Ringer. 

Secretary  Goeher  went  down  to  Baltimore  three 
weeks  ago  and  protested  a  pacer  called  Tasberg  that 
is  really  Dick  Wilson  2:08,  but  raced  as  Dry  Monopole 
last  season.  The  horse  was  shipped  away  from  Balti- 
more as  soon  as  he  was  protested,  and  his  present 
whereabouts  are  not  known.  The  following  is  a 
description  of  him:  He  is  a  brown  gelding,  15.2  bands 
high,  smooth  made,  irregular  diamond  in  forehead 
with  a  few  hairs  down  the  centre  of  the  nose.  The 
half  of  the  front  pastern  is  white,  inside  of  the  right 
pastern  is  white  and  half  of  pastern  of  right  hind  foot 
is  white.  He  is  big  gaited  and  has  a  peculiar  manner 
0'  snapping  his  front  and  hind  feet  off  the  ground. 


C.  H.  Corey  of  San  Jose  died  at  the  Agnews  asylum 
for  the  insane  on  Tuesday  of  this  week,  of  which  insti- 
tution he  had  been  an  inmate  for  several  months.  Mr. 
Corey  was  for  many  years  the  proprietor  of  the  Lick 
House  at  San  Jose,  and  afterwardB  of  the  Auzerais 
Cafe  in  the  same  city.  He  went  to  Bakersfield  when 
the  oil  excitement  broke  out  there  a  fey  years  ago, 
and  lost  nearly  all  his  fortune.  He  returned  to  San 
Jo6e  broken  in  health  and  several  months  ago  lost  his 
mind.  Mr.  Corey  at  one  time  owned  and  raced  many 
harness  horses  and  was  an  excellent  reinsman.  Among 
the  horses  owned  by  him  during  his  lifetime  were 
Almont  Patcben  2:15,  and  that  stallion's  two  fast 
daughters  Ruby  M.  2:121  and  Laura  M.  2:131,  besides 
many  others  that  took  fast  records.

Everything  is  ready  at  Los  Angeles. 


The  harness  racing  circuit  opens  there  Monday. 


Searchlight  2:03J  was  shipped  East  to  Kentucky 
last  week.  He  has  been  very  liberally  patronized  in 
California  for  the  past  three  years,  and  leaves  a 
numerous  progeny  here  that  should  make  him  a  repu- 
tation as  a  speed  sire. 

Ed  Benyon  will  race  the  young  McKinney  stallion 
Sterling  McKinney,  owned  by  Hon.  Sterling  R.  Holt 
of  Indianapolis.  A  fe  v  days  before  being  shipped  to 
Benyon  he  worked  a  mile  in  2:24  and  is  very  likely  to 
take  a  very  fast  record  this  fall. 


Everything  points  to  a  high-class  meeting  largely 
attended.  

The  California  Circuit  promises  to  be  short  but 
sweet  this  year. 

Not  over  six  weeks  of  racing,  but  the  purses  will 
range  from  $500  to  $2000. 


Kelly  Briggs  worked  a  mile  in  2:07  fiat  at  Los 
Angeles  last  Saturday.  Frank  Wright  has  him  in 
fine  shape.  

Detroit  has  cancelled  the  2:09,  2:12,  2:15  and  2:20 
pacing  classes  and  substituted  the  2:08,  2:11,  2:14  and 
2:18  classes.  

An  effort  is  being  made  to  secure  Prof.  Carlyle  of 
Colorado  to  again  judge  the  live  stock  at  the  Califor- 
nia State  Fair  this  year. 


Director  Joe  that  paced  to  a  record  of  2:211  at  New- 
burg,  N.  Y.,  recently  is  out  of  Josephine  Young  dam 
of  Joe  Patchen2:01l.   

It  is  reported  that  Eddie  Mitchell  has  put  Prince 
Alert  1:59 J  to  trotting  over  in  England  Perhaps  he 
is  jealous  of  Anaconda  2:01}. 


They  are  stepping  some  down  East  and  the  other 
day  Major  Muscovite  2:07  put  the  season's  record  at 
2:081  when  he  beat  Frank  Yoakum  at  Baltimore. 


Geo.  Pounder's  chestnut  gelding  Glenn  that  will 
start  in  the  2:27  and  2:24  class  pacing  events  at  Los 
Angeles  next  week  worked  a  mile  last  Monday  in  2:101. 


Major  Delmar's  latest  workout  miles  were  in  2:17} 
and  2:16  at  Cleveland.  He  seems  to  have  all  his  speed 
with  him  this  season  but  is  being  brought  along 
slowly.  

The  old  pacing  gelding  William  Mc  2:05 J  will  be 
raced  over  the  half-mile  tracks  again  this  season.  He 
recently  worked  in  2.12}  for  his  owner,  Geo.  Castle,  of 
Chicago.  

Another  match  race  has  been  made  for  Tiverton 
and  Sweet  Marie,  and  this  time  it  is  gate  receipts, 
to  be  raced  for  at  Belmont  Park,  Philadelphia,  on 
July  19th.  

M.  B.  Turner's  gelding,  Vision  2:12}  by  Vanquish 
that  Fred  Ward  is  training  at  Los  Angeles,  stepped  a 
mile  in  2:11J  last  week.  He  will  start  in  the  2:13  and 
2:11  class  pacing  events. 


An  excellent  young  brown  gelding  that  is  quite  a 
trotter  and  a  fine  roadster  is  offered  for  sale  at  a  very 
low  price.  He  can  be  seen  at  the  Zibbell  stable, 
Eleventh  avenue,  just  back  of  The  Chutes. 


The  Contractor  by  Fred  S.  Wilkes  2:15,  entered  in 
the  M.  and  M.,  worked  a  mile  recently  over  the  Colum- 
bus track  in  2:11  J.  Red  Nightingale,  a  green  pacing 
mare  by  Red  Wing,  in  the  same  stable,  worked  in 
2:12.    Both  are  in  the  stable  of  M.  O.  Stokes. 


A  state  racing  circuit  has  just  been  formed  in  Texa 
composed  of  Denison,  Grenville,  Dallas,  Ennis,  Brjan, 
Taylor,  Austin,  San  Antonio.  Houston  and  Beaumont. 
The  first  date  is  September  30. 

The  pacer  Snap  Shot  2:081,  sold  at  the  Indianapolis 
Horse  Sale  Co.'s  sale  last  February,  seems  to  have 
dropped  out  of  notice.  His  buyer  "gave  a  town  in 
Florida  as  his  residence,  and  five  minutes  after  his 
purchase  Snap  Shot  disappeared.  Snap  Shot  is  a  bay 
gelding  standing  15.3  hands,  and  is  5  years  old.  Can 
it  be  that  he  is  to  go  on  a  ringing  tour? 


Athasham  2:20,  as  a  two-year-old,  bids  fair  to  secure 
a  very  low  mark  this  year  although  he  will  not  race 
very  much— the  three-year-old  events  in  California 
being  rather  few.  Last  week  he  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18} 
at  the  Fresno  track  and  repeated  in  2:19},  last  half 
in  1:08.  

Harold  D.  won  at  Denver  last  Wednesday  in  straight 
heats,  the  time  being  2:13}  and  2:11}.  Harold  D.  is 
evidently  getting  used  to  the  high  altitude  of  Denver. 
Golden  Gate  by  Bay  Bird  was  second  in  the  first  heat 
of  this  race  and  third  in  the  second  heat,  winning 
second  money. 

Fredonna,  the  dun  mare  owned  by  Mr.  J.  M.  Mc- 
Kay of  Fresno  is  showing  great  speed  iu  her  work 
over  the  Fresno  track  She  paced  a  mile  in  2:10}  on 
Friday  of  last  week.  Fredonna  is  by  Athadon,  and 
has  never  started  in  a  race.  For  a  green  one  she  is 
certainly  quite  classy. ^_ 

In  Tommy  Murphy's  string  over  East  is  a  pacing 
two-year-old  by  Directly  2:031  out  of  Laurels  2:151 
that  Murphy  thinks  is  one  of  the  fastest  colts  he  ever 
sat  behind.  This  youngster  has  stepped  a  half  in 
1:05,  with  a  quarter  in  31}  seconds,  but  will  not  be 
raced  until  he  is  a  four-year-old. 


Joe  Maguire,  Mr.  Easterbrook's  trainer,  has  been 
riding  in  front  pretty  often  since  the  Colorado  Cir- 
cuit opened.  His  establishment  must  be  several 
thousand  dollars  to  the  good. 

Robizola  2:12},  owned  by  Dr.  Clark  of  Santa  Rosa, 
was  shipped  to  Los  Angeles  this  week  where  she  will 
start  in  the  fast  trottiLg  events.  She  worked  a  mile 
in  2:12  before  leaving  Santa  Rosa. 


Bonnie  Ailse  2:13},  a  mare  bred  by  Fred  Pabst,  Jr  , 
of  Milwaukee,  and  that  raced  to  her  record  at  the 
Milwaukee  track  last  year,  will  start  in  the  2:13  class 
pace  at  Los  Angeles  next  week.  She  is  being  trained 
by  S.  E.  Kent  who  worked  her  a  mile  in  2:11  last 
Monday  and  repeated  her  in  2:10.  She  is  owned  by 
J.  A.  Fairchild.  

The  accounts  in  the  Denver  newspapers  of  the  har- 
ness events  there  are  very  amusing  and  do  not  agree. 
One  journal  stated  that  Henry  Helman  did  not  drive 
Getaway  to  win  the  first  heat  of  the  2:24  trot  last 
Saturday,  while  another  says  that  Dewey,  the  winner 
of  the  heat  in  2:13,  could  have  trotted  seconds  faster 
had  it  been  necessary. 


Dave  Warren  of  Lafayette,  Ind.,  who  has  been 
located  at  Portland,  Or.,  recently  in  the  interest  of 
the  Hartman  Stock  Farm,  Columbus,  O.,  gave  this 
office  a  pleasant  call  on  Monday.  Mr.  Warren  is  on 
his  way  East,  but  reports  that  there  are  great  pros- 
pects in  the  draft  horse  business  up  north  and  expectB 
to  locate  out  this  way  in  the  fall. 


Silver  Sign  2:10},  valued  at  $10,000  and  owned  by 
Judge  E.  S.  Colburn,  of  Colorado,  died  at  Denver  last 
Thursday  shortly  after  the  cup  race  in  which  he  won 
the  first  heat  in  2:111,  the  Colorado  record  for  a  heat 
to  wagon  by  a  trotter.  Silver  Sign  was  by  Silver 
Thorn  and  was  the  sire  of  Queen  Sign  2:191,  and 
others.    The  cause  of  his  death  was  acute  gastritis. 


Lisonjero  2:081  makes  his  first  start  of  the  season  at 
Saugus.  He  is  in  the  free-for-all  trot,  and  will  meet 
Grace  Kellar  2:10},  Margaret  Bathgate  (4)  2:111, 
Sonata  2:12},  and  possibly  Paul  Kruger  2:141. 

On  June  19th,  Ingar,  by  Director  2:17,  dropped  a 
foal  at  Martin  Carter's  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  that 
was  an  own  sister  to  the  great  trotter  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron  2:04}.  Unfortunately  the  filly  died  two  days 
later.  

L.  E.  Ingalls,  owner  of  the  Joliet  mile  track,  is  be- 
'ng  importuned  by  Ed  ward  Corrigan  and  his  opposing 
forces  of  the  Western  Jockey  Club  to  lease  the  track 
for  a  running  course.  So  far  no  deal  has  been  con- 
summated.   

Races  will  be  held  at  the  new  San  Lorenzo  track  on 
July  4th.  Manager  P.  J.  Williams  has  provided  a 
good  program  and  there  will  be  some  good  contests. 
Two  or  three  harness  events  and  three  running  races 
will  be  held.  

H.  L.  Hernly,  of  New  Castle,  Ind.,  has  sold  Bourbon 
Patchen  2:09  by  Bourbon  Wilkes  to  W  B.  Smith,  of 
Rockford,  O.  Bourbon  Patchen  is  the  sire  of  twenty- 
slx  standard  performers,  the  fastest  being  Nerva 
Patchen  2:08.  

Chas  Sadler,  one  of  the  judges  at  the  recent  Pasa- 
dena Horse  Show  will  act  as  starter  during  the  Los 
Angeles  meeting.  It  was  expected  that  Secretary 
Bruoer  would  start,  but  his  duties  as  Secretary  will 
oocupy  all  his  time.      

Send  to  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart,  Colusa,  Cal.,  for  a  cata- 
logue of  his  auction  sale  of  standard  bred  horses  to 
be  held  at  Colusa,  August  9th.  Mr.  Peart  has  a  num- 
ber of  well  bred  ones  that  are  great  prospects,  and  all 
will  be  sold  without  reserve. 


Laurel  2:13},  the  fine  mare  owned  by  Mr.  F.  J. 
Yandleof  Santa  ROBa,  dropped  a  filly  by  Lynwood 
Wilkes  2:20  on  June  23d.  Mr.  Yandle  has  selected 
the  name  Miss  Burbank  for  this  filly,  in  honor  of 
Santa  Rosa's  most  distinguished  citizen.  Luther  Bur- 
bank,  whose  wonderful  new  creations  in  the  fruit, 
vegetable  and  floral  worldB  are  the  marvel  of  the  age. 


An  order  has  been  asked  of  the  court  to  have  the 
Grosse  Pointe  track  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club  sold 
at  auction,  so  that  the  club  may  get  out  of  its  difficul- 
ties._  D.  J.  Campau  is  receiver  and  formerly  was 
president  of  the  club,  while  he  Is  the  largest  share- 
holder in  the  old  organization.  It  is  believed  that  in 
company  with  a  few  other  rich  men  in  Detroit  he  will 
buy  in  the  property  and  proceed  to  put  it  in  shape. 

Will  J.  Crouch,  Sedalia,  Mo.,  Western  manager  for 
the  well  known  firm  of  J.  Crouch  &  Sons,  Lafayette, 
Ind.,  is  paying  California  a  short  visit  after  spendirg 
some  time  in  Portland,  Ore.,  making  arrangemenis 
for  the  firm's  big  exhibit  of  heavy  horses  at  the  Lewis 
and  Clark  Exposition.  Crouch  &  Sons  have  opened  a 
branch  at  San  Jose  and  expect  to  deal  extensively  in 
Percherons  and  Coachers  next  season  on  this  Coast. 


At  the  Gravesend,  New  York,  running  meeting  an 
admission  of  $3  was  charged,  resulting  in  a  woeful 
falling  off  in  attendance.  The  old  price  of  admission 
was  $2,  and  now  there  is  talk  of  having  to  go  back  to 
it  at  the  other  metropolitan  tracks.  The  greed  of 
thoroughbred  racing  managers  is  something  almost 
past  belief — but  will  the  public  stand  for  the  graft 
much  longer?  _j 

When  Geers  arrived  at  the  Liberty  ville  track  he 
gave  the  Northern  fellows  quite  a  treat  by  driving  his 
green  trotting  mare,  Clarita  W.,  a  mile  in  2:10  and 
letting  Walter  Direct  and  King  Diiect  2:05}  down 
with  a  mile  in  2:091.  This  is,  of  course,  the  best  work 
that  has  been  seen  in  Illinois  this  year,  and  it  looks 
like  the  Memphis  trained  horses  would  get  all  the 
money  at  Libertyville. 


A  contract  was  awarded  last  week  by  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  for  the  erection  of  four  stables 
of  twenty-four  stalls  each  for  harness  horses  at  the 
new  State  Fair  grounds.  The  contract  price  was 
$9747,  for  which  price  most  excellent  stalls  should  be 
furnished.  There  were  eight  bidders,  and  the  bids 
ranged  from  $9747,  the  lowest,  to  $16  000,  the  highest, 
Murcell  &  Smith  were  the  lowest  bidders. 


Sweet  Marie  2:04}  and  Tiverton  2:04}  will  meet  for 
the  first  time  this  year  at  Philadelphiaon  July  19th. 
Mr.  Garland,  owner  of  Sweet  Marie  writes  us  that  the 
match  has  been  arranged  for  a  portion  of  the  gate 
receipts.  Alta  McDonald  in  whose  care  Sweet  Marie 
now  is  at  at  Albany,  New  York,  reports  her  in  great 
condition.  This  race  should  and  doubtless  will  draw 
one  of  the  greatest  crowds  ever  seen  on  a  trotting 
track. 

J.  C.  Adams  of  Phoenix,  Arizona,  has  shipped  his 
racing  stable  to  Libertyville,  111  ,  to  get  them  acclim- 
ated and  ready  for  the  Great  Western  Circuit,  and 
incidentally  to  touch  up  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
Stake,  as  he  has  two  named  in  that,  Bystander  by 
Zoloch,  and  Sally  Pointer  by  Sky  Pointer.  Besides 
these  two  he  ships  Billy  A.  2:171.  Charley  M.  2:21}  and 
Custer,  the  latter  by  Sidney  Dillon,  dam  Maud  by 
Nutwood. 

The  pacer  AlTayntor,  that  took  a  record  of  2:161 
at  Baltimore  a  few  days  ago,  is  the  Village  Farm  bred 
horse  formerly  known  as  The  Saracen.  He  was  sired 
by  Athanio  2:10.  the  California  bred  stallion  that  raced 
so  successfully  for  Geers  and  that  the  Hamlins  after- 
ward sold  to  go  to  Europe,  and  his  dam  was  by 
Golden  Gateway,  son  of  Guy  Wilkes.  During  the  last 
two  seasons  Al  Tayntor  was  quite  prominent  on  the 
Buffalo  speedway.        

Entries  to  the  Occident-Stanford  pace  will  close 
today.  This  is  a  pacing  event  for  colts  and  fillies 
entered  in  the  Occident  and  Stanford  stake  that  have 
taken  to  the  pacing  gait.  The  entrance  fee  is  $50  and 
any  money  already  paid  on  either  of  those  stakes  will 
be  credited  on  the  account.  If  you  have  paid  in  $30  it 
will  only  cost  $20  more  to  start,  and  if  $50  has  been 
paid  no  further  payments  are  necessary  to  make  your 
colt  eligible  to  start  in  the  pace. 


An  Eastern  exchange  states  that  many  horsemen 
expect  to  see  Tiverton  2:04}  beat  Sweet  Marie  2:04}  in 
a  race  of  best  two  in  three  heats,  judging  from  the 
form  each  of  them  showed  last  year.  Trainer  Mc- 
Donald, however,  knows  that  Tiverton  can  go  away 
very  fast  and  is  liable  to  educate  the  daughter  of  Mc- 
Kinney so  that  she  may  be  able  to  do  the  same.  The 
contest  promises  to  be  the  most  interesting  light  har- 
ness event  of  the  season  and  the  best  horse  is  sure  to 
win  if  both  are  In  the  beet  of  condition. 


Richard  H.  Nason.oneof  California's  oldtime  horse- 
men, died  at  Woodland  last  Saturday,  aged  85  years. 
Mr.  Nason  was  a  native  of  Maine  and  came  to  Cali- 
fornia when  a  very  young  man.  He  had  bred  and 
trained  many  trotters  and  pacers,  and  drove  in  races 
up  to  the  close  of  last  year.  This  spring  he  worked 
his  horses  as  usual  at  the  Woodland  track,  and  was 
taken  ill  on  the  10th  inst.  His  advanced  age  rendered 
him  unable  to  resist  the  ailments  which  otherwise 
would  not  have  been  considered  serious,  and  he  died 
on  Saturday.  

C.  H.  Durfee,  who  has  been  in  California  a  few 
months  on  a  leave  of  absence  from  his  duties  in  the 
United  States  Customs  service  at  Honolulu,  returned 
to  the  islands  with  his  wife  and  child  on  Thursday  of 
this  week.  Mr.  Durfee  was  quite  run  down  from  the 
effects  of  a  six  years' life  In  Honolulu  when  he  came 
up  here  this  spring,  but  has  improved  very  much  and 
looks  the  picture  of  health  now.  He  has  hosts  of 
friends  in  California  who  had  hoped  he  might  con- 
clude to  remain  here,  but  wish  him  nothing  but  good 
luck,  health  and  prosperity  wherever  he  resides. 


The  auction  sale  of  standard  bred  horses  advertised 
by  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart  of  Colusa  is  attracting  much 
attention,  and  letters  have  been  received  by  Mr. 
Peart  from  all  parts  of  the  Coast,  asking  for  cata 
logues  Saveral  of  the  youngsters  to  be  sold  are  by 
the  very  promising  and  handsome  young  McKinney 
stallion  McNeer.  This  horse  is  out  of  the  mare  Silver 
Bell  by  Silver  King  3622,  sire  of  Silver  Queen  2:191, 
Yellow  Jacket  2:20}  and  King  of  the  Ring  2:21  A 
three-year-old  gelding  by  McNeer,  out  of  a  mare  by 
Dawn,  is  in  this  sale  and  is  a  rare  prospect.  He  stands 
15  2  and  weighs  1125  pounds.  With  scarcely  any 
work  this  gelding  has  trotted  an  eighth  in  17  seconds, 
and  acts  like  a  2:10  trotter. 


The  Sidney  Dillon  mare  Helen  Keyes,  in  the  East 
View  Farm  string,  about  which  there  has  been  so 
much  talk,  Is  owned  by  Harry  D.  Brown,  the  weil- 
known  Oakland  trainer  who  is  now  located  at  Pleas- 
anton.  Mr.  Brown  purchased  her  of  Geo.  B.  M.  Gray, 
who  secured  her  at  the  closing  out  sale  of  the  Henry 
Pierce  stock,  and  after  developing  her  speed  leased 
her  to  East  View  Farm.  It  is  left  entirely  with  Mr. 
Butler  and  his  trainer,  Charles  Do  Ryder,  whether 
HeleT  Keyes  will  be  started  this  year.  If  she  Is  raced 
Mr.  Brown  will  have  a  certain  share  of  her  winnings. 
Mr.  Butler  has  an  opt'on  on  the  mare  at  an  agrerri

The  Denver  Meeting. 


In  our  report  of  the  Denver  harness  races  last  week 
allusion  was  made  to  the  fact  that  the  account  of  the 
raceof  Monday,  June  19th,  on  which  day  the  2:09 
pace  was  decided,  bad  not  been  received.  It  has  now 
come  to  hand.  Tbere  were  six  starters  in  this  event, 
the  bay  mai e  Oregon  Maid  being  the  favorite.  The 
McKinney  jnare  Miss  Georgie  was  four  to  one  for  the 
first  heat  which  she  captured  in  2:11J.  She  was  third 
in  the  two  follow \ng  heats  won  by  Stranger  O.,  who 
took  it  very  easily  the  first  beat.  The  summary  of 
the  race  will  show  hov:  the  horses  were  placed:

Wednesday,  June  21st.  On  Thursday  two  cups  were 
raced  for  by  members  of  the  Denver  Driving  Club. 
Fast  time  was  made  in  both  events  and  when  Silver 
Sign  driven  by  Mr.  E.  A  Colburn  won  the  first  heat 
of  the  trot  in  2:lli,.  breaking  the  track  record  for  a 
trotter  to  wagon,  horse  and  driver  were  given  an 
ovation.  The  pacing  event  for  the  Wahlgreen  cup 
was  also  a  fast  race  and  well  contested.     Summaries:

The  program  of  Friday,  June  23d,  contained  two 
harness  events.  Confienza,  Ed  Gaylord's  good  mare 
that  won  the  2:20  trot  on  the  opening  day,  again 
showed  her  good  form  by  taking  the  2:17  trot  in 
straight  heats,  trotting  the  first  heatin2:12J.  Monroe

secund  money  in  the  race.  Helen  Norte  after  being 
second  in  tbe  first  heat  went  to  a  bad  break  in  the 
second  heat  and  was  distanced. 

In  the  pacing  event  Harold  D.  by  Dexter  Prince

The  big  event  on  Saturday  was  the  2:24  class  trot 
for  a  purse  of  $1500.  This  is  the  biggest  harness 
event  on  the  Colorado  Circuit  and  was  originated  by 
the  late  Charles  Townsend.  Mr.  Townsend's  succes- 
sor, B.  H.  Hubbard,  presented  the  winner's  (Dewey) 
owners  with  amignificant  tloral  horseshoe,  and  Driver 
Loomis  with  an  ornate  gold-mounted  whip.  Driver 
Hillman,  who  held  the  reins  over  J.  A.  Richardson's 
Getaway,  the  defeated  favorite,  who  won  second 
money,  also  received  a  gold-mounted  whip.  Phyllis, 
owned  by  E  1  Davis  of  Denver,  won  third  money,  and 
Woody  R  ,  owned  by  E.  G.  Davis  of  Colorado  Springs, 
took  the  fourth  division  of  the  stake.  Tbe  other 
starter,  Will  Clark,  did  not  finish  the  race,  being  dis- 
tanced in  the  first  heat. 

With  fifteen  entries,  including  Rex  Colorado,  Major 
Cook,  Lady  Ztimbro,  Delia  McCarthy,  Farmington 
Boy,  Nordloa,  Iosa,  Aiinle  G  ,  Gebble  and  Johnnie  K.r 
the  field  of  five  starte.-s  was  unexpectedly  small.  Up 
to  the  day  before  therace  it  waa  regarded  certain  that 
there  would  be  nine  br  ten  starters.  George  H.  Esta- 
brook'B  Delia  McCarthy,  who  was  taken  ill  after  the 
Studebaker  race  a  week  ago,  was  not  considered 
sufficiently  fit  to  start  by  her  trainer,  Joe  F.  McGuire, 
and  remained  in  the  stable.  B  F.  A.  Flemmlng's 
Nordlca  was  scratched  Friday  afternoon.  Mr.  Flem- 
mlng  Intends  sending  his  speedy  trotter  around  the 
Grand  Circuit,  and  as  he  did  not  wish  to  mark  her, 
kept  her  In  the  barn.  For  some  unacoountable  reason 
the  pool  sellers  were  not  officially  notified  of  Nordlca's 
withdrawal,  and  accepted  thousands  of  dollars  from 
bettors  who  expected  that  Nordlca  would  be  In  the 
raoe.  For  this  reason  all  pools  sold  Friday  night  were 
declared  off  by  tbe  management. 

Dewey  was  In  splendid  condition,  and  there  was 
Dover  a  doubt  as  to  his  staying  qualities.  That  be 
i  ould  have  finished  tbe  first  heat  in  2:11  if  pressed  is 
jeyond  question,  and  horsemen  after  the  race  were 
..uanimous  In  declaring  that  tbe  handsome  son  of 
^  jperior  is  destined  to  become  a  2:10  trotter.    At  the 


®he  gveebev  emit  gp<ret*mtcm 

close  of  the  third  heat  Dewey  was  not  the  least  dis- 
tressed, and  his  staying  qualities  were  generally  com- 
mented upon.  Driver  Loomis  received  congratula- 
tions on  all  sides  for  his  excellent  handling  of  the 
excellent  horse. 

The  free-for-all  pace  went  to  the  favorite,  Winfield 
Stratton,  in  two  heats.    The  summaries:

No  Excuse  for  Breeding  Coarse  Horses. 

In  an  article  in  last  week's  issue  of  the  Kentucky 
Stock  Farm  "Hawley"  says:  "There  are  certain 
reasons  why  trotters  should  have  certain  structural 
points,  should  he  built  on  certain  HneB  and  should  be 
possessed  of  quality,  and  if  breeders  would  follow  the 
common  sense  laws  of  nature  and  by  using  only  the 
best  individuals  obtainable  they  could  at  the  end  of 
a  comparatively  few  years  do  away  to  a  great  extent 
with  the  bad  individuals  which  now  are  so  frequently 
used  in  every  stud  in  America.  Coarseness  should  be 
avoided  as  if  it  were  a  plague,  for  wherever  there  iB 
coarseness  quality  must  be  lacking,  and  without 
quality  the  trotter  or  pacer  can  not  use  to  the  best 
advantage  the  forces  nature  has  given  him.  Muscular 
development  iB  no  part  of  coarseness,  although  it  is 
sometimes  taken  for  it.  A  horse  of  wonderful  muscu- 
lar development  can  in  reality  be  possessed  of  as  much 
quality  as  the  most  exquisite  thoroughbred.  If 
breeders  would  decline  to  use  either  mares  or  stallions 
that  were  defective  in  conformation,  such  as  excessive 
length  in  theback,  lightness  below  the  knee,  Improper 
construction  of  the  shoulder,  bad  hocks,  bad  ankles, 
and  Improperly  constructed  hind  quarters,  they  would 
eventually  furnish  tbe  type  of  horse  that  would  be 
able  with  the  least  effort  possible  to  carry  his  speed. 
They  would  find  that  the  trotter  oould  endure  the 
more  severe  oampalgn,  would  be  less  likely  to  break 
down,  better  galted  and  the  need  for  muoh  of  the 
paraphernalia  that  is  so  frequently  seen  on  a  horse 
would  be  eradioated.  A  trotter  without  a  semblance 
ofooarsness  is  necessarily  gamer  than  one  that  is 
flabby,  and  if  his  shoulders  are  oblique  tbere  is  less 
danger  of  soreness  after  a  campaign  on  hard  tracks. 
"If  the  bone  below  the  knee  is  of  a  proper  texture 
and  Bbort,  the  forward  aetion  gives  less  friotlon  than 
If  tbe  pasterns  are  not  too  straight,  the  concussion  is 
better  withstood.  A  short-backed  trotter,  properly 
ribbed,  if  hiB  stifles  are  in  the  right  place,  need  not 
use  excessive  hook  action  in  making  his  strtde.  If 
the  muscular  development  continues  down  into  the 


gtskln  and  the  length  from  hip  to  hock  is  great 
enough,  tbe  stride  is  longer  and  more  quickly  gath- 
ered. It  maybe  argued  that  if  breeders  chose  only 
individuals  approaching  perfection  the  number  of 
foals  each  year  would  be  much  less  than  now,  and 
while  this  in  a  sense  is  true,. it  Is  also  a  fact  that  the 
quality  would  more  than  make  up  for  the  lack  of 
quantity.  It  is  doubtless  no  exaggeration  to  say  that 
more  than  half  the  foals  that  are  produced  each  year 
by  tbe  many  breeders  of  light  harness  horses  in 
America  are  from  sires  and  dams  which  are  woefully 
lacking  in  the  many  qualities  that  go  to  make  up  a 
perfect  horse,  and  I  believe  that  the  great  bane  of  the 
light  harness  horse  breeder  is  either  a  lack  of  quality 
or  substance  or  both.  Many  trotters  are  either  too 
coarse  or  too  light,  and  the  latter,  while  it  is  fre- 
quently described  as  quality  is  merely  an  entire  lack 
of  substance  Cresceus  is  a  stallion  of  wonderful  mus- 
cular development,  and  is  massive  without  being  in 
the  least  coarse,  and  while  he  is  somewhat  plain  in 
appearance  there  is  nothing  flabby  about  him,  nor 
has  he  any  of  the  points  usually  found  in  coarse  horses. 
His  legs  are  flat,  while  those  of  many  well-known 
trotters  are  almost  round,  and  the  length  from  hip  to 
hock  of  the  champion  stallion  is  remarkable,  as  is  the 
muscular  development  of  the  lower  thigh.  Many 
famous  speed  marvels  have  been  so  entirely  lacking 
in  substance  that  they  were  unable  to  carry  their 
speed  for  any  considerable  distance,  nor  were  they 
able  to  withstand  the  ravages  of  a  hard  campaign, 
which  would  have  been  possible  for  them  had  they 
been  properly  constructed.  It  would  Beem  reasonable 
to  suppose  that  a  badly  gaited  trotter  was  such  as  a 
result  of  a  defect  in  conformation,  unless,  of  course, 
he  was  made  so  by  any  incompetent  trainer,  and  the 
way  to  eliminate  this  defect  would  seem  to  be  to  breed 
to  trotters  only  whose  gait  was  frictionless  and 
smooth. 

"One  of  the  most  noted  trotting  stallions  ever  pro- 
duced in  America,  and  one  whose  breeding  and  general 
appearance  was  all  that  could  be  desired,  had  a  habit 
of  banging  his  knees  to  such  an  extent  in  fact  that 
many  of  the  most  enlightened  breeders  looked  ask- 
ance at  him  and  when  placed  on  the  market  his 
youngsters  were  avoided  by  many  trainers,  for  as  was 
but  natural  he  transmitted  this  lo  his  get.  There  is 
little  or  no  excuse  for  the  promiscuous  bresding  that 
has  been  carried  on  ever  since  the  industry  was  first 
started,  and  there  is  still  less  excuse  in  this  enlight- 
ened age,  for  the  material  that  is  now  being  used  from 
which  to  produce  the  American  trotter.  A  visitor  to 
the  great  breeding  farms  which  were  conducted  on 
such  extensive  plans  a  few  years  ago  could  not  fail  to 
be  struck  with  the  number  of  inferior  animals  among 
both  the  sires  and  the  dams.  A  really  fine,  well  built 
stallion  of  great  substance  as  well  as  quality  was  com- 
paratively rare  and  the  same  type  of  broodmare  was 
ever  more  so,  As  a  result  of  this  looseness  of  method, 
the  country  was  flooded  with  a  type  of  horse  that  is 
today  far  from  perfect,  and  while  the  breeders  now 
extensively  engaged  in  producing  the  American  trot- 
ter have  learned  from  the  lessons  of  the  past  that  the 
best  results  cannot  come  from  an  utter  disregard  of 
what  constitutes  good  individuality,  they  are  not 
strict  enough  to  succeed  as  well  as  they  could  if  the 
lines  were  drawn  more  closely.  Any  breeder  who 
collects  five  or  six  mares  of  really  choice  breeding  and 
excellence  of  conformation,  which  excellence  should 
be  judged  by  the  very  highest  standard,  will  surely 
accomplish  more  than  if  be  owns  twenty-five  mares 
choiea  solely  for  their  blood  lines  without  regard  to 
the  r  -itructural  points.  The  breeder  who  first  pro- 
du  e<  a  type  of  trotter  approaching  perfection  will,  if 
he  h  s  used  good  judgment  in  his  selection  of  blood 
lhes  oe  the  first  to  produce  with  any  degree  of  uni- 
formity trotters  of  slake  class. " 


Secretary  Walter  J.  Snyder  of  the  Detroit  Driving 
Club,  by  arranging  the  program  for  the  Blue  Ribbon 
meeting  week  of  July  24-28,  on  the  three  heat  plan, 
haB  solved  the  problem  of  equalizing  the  Northern 
and  Southern  trained  horses.  The  three  heat  plan 
removes  all  possibility  of  a  long  drawn  out  contest — 
such  aB  are  frequent — and  which  usually  results  in  one 
or  more  of  the  contestants  being  put  out  of  racing 
commission  for  a  while,  if  indeed  not  for  an  entire 
season.  When  a  horse  starts  in  one  of  these  races  he 
need  be  ready  for  but  three  heats.  Should  he,  how- 
ever, be  just  a  little  Bbort  of  work  and  annex  two 
heats,  he  has  won  the  larger  amount  of  the  purse,  and 
also  the  pool  tickets  are  his.  Tbe  advantage  the 
Southern  trained  horse  had  over  theNorthern  trained

The  Percheron — A  Prize  Essay. 

Oq  March  4th,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Jereberon  Registry  Company  offered  a  prize  of  825 
or  the  best  essay  on  "The  Percheron  Horse,"  to  be 
written  by  the  undergraduate  students  attending 
agricultural  colleges  in  the  United  States.  The  first 
>rize  was  awarded  to  W.  A.  Eldridge,  a  student  at 
Purdue  University,  Lafayette,  Indiana.  His  essay 
yas  as  follows: 

"In  the  little  district  of  Perche,  situated  in  the 
south  of  Normandy,  in  France,  we  find  the  native 
home  of  probably  the  most  popular  breed  of  draught 
horses  in  the  world  today,  the  Percheron.  This  is  a 
somewhat  broken  country  with  rather  scant  pastures 
and  watered  by  numerous  springs  and  brooks,  an 
Ideal  location  for  the  development  of  such  a  noble 
'breed  of  horses.  Nature  has  favored  it  with  nutriti- 
ous herbage  and  a  pure,  d  ry  and  bracing  air  eminently 
ifavorable  to  horse  breeding.  In  this  eountry  agri- 
culture has  flourished  for  centuries.  The  farms  of 
Perche  are  small  and  well  managed.  It  takes  a  great 
deal  of  labor  to  cultivate  the  fields  of  this  broken 
region  and  the  broodmare  is  called  upon  for  her  share 
of  the  work.  This  is  another  condition  that  has  ltd 
to  the  production  of  strong,  rugged  colts  destined 
to  some  day  carry  on  the  commerce  of  the  world. 
The  Perche  farmer  is  the  breeder  of  these  horses  and 
it  is  a  well-known  fact  that  the  farm  is  the  ideal  place 
to  produce  thoselusty,  vigorous  coltsthat  will  develop 
, into  good  draughters.  He  takes  pride  in  his  horses, 
!  he  loves  them.  It  seems  to  come  natural  to  him.  He 
takes  good  care  of  the  broodmare;  works  her  and  feeds 
her  carefully  and  here  lies  one  of  the  main  factors 
that  has  brought  the  breed  to  the  high  degree  of  per- 
fection which  it  holds  today.  When  the  colts  are 
abont  eighteen  months  old  he  assigns  them  to  some 
light  work.  They  are  hardy  and  soon  become 
accustomed  to  it  and  enjoy  it.  They  are  abuodantly 
fed  and  with  this  exercise  they  acquire  a  strong, 
healthy  constitution. 

The  Percheron  has  been  bred  in  this  district  for 
many  centuries.  In  732  when  the  French  defeated  the 
Saracens  they  captured  their  horses  and  brought  them 
to  this  country,  and  to  these  historic  Arabian  horses, 
so  noted  for  their  superior  symmetry,  quality  and 
intelligence,  the  modern  Percheron  owes  its  origin. 
The  use  of  these  beautiful  stallions  on  the  native 
mares  of  Perche  continued  as  late  as  1820,  when  the 
two  noted  gray  stallions,  Godolphin  and  Gallipoli, 
were  introduced  in  the  stud  stables  at  Pin,  thus 
stamping  their  character,  quality  and  endurance  on 
the  horses  of  the  country  with  an  indelible  impress. 
These  horses  thrived  in  their  new  home,  and  with 
some  admixture  of  the  blood  of  the  horses  of  Brittany 
a  type  of  horse  was  developed  that  was  of  the  greatest 
utility  combined  with  beau'y,  quality  and  style,  a 
horse  of  more  thanordinary  strength  and  vigor  which 
would  enable  him  to  do  hard  work.  He  had  a  splendid 
conformation  and  intelligence  next  to  human,  was 
gentle  aDd  patient  and  possessed  the  inestimable 
quality  of  moving  heavy  loads  at  a  rapid  rate.  These 
horses  were  preeminently  fitted  for  the  mail  coach, 
express  and  omnibus  service.  All  of  the  countries 
were  anxious  to  possess  them  as  they  were  the  only 
race  of  horses  that  were  practically  faultless.  So 
great  was  the  demand  that  the  French  Government 
had  a  hard  time  to  prevent  the  sale  of  excellent  breed- 
ing stallions  and  mares.  They  established  a  stud 
stable  at  Boneval  and  some  of  the  best  horses  were 
bought  and  taken  there.  Prizes  were  offered  at  the 
department  fairs  and  in  this  way  the  Percheron  was 
resoued  from  what  might  have  proven  to  be  a  com- 
plete elimination. 

1  Up  until  1883  there  was  no  definite  name  for  this 
breed.  They  were  known  as  Norman,  Percheron, 
Percheron-Norman  and  French  horses.  In  this  year 
the  Societe  Hippique  Pereheronne  was  established 
and  the  name  Percheron  was  decided  upon.  The  first 
volume  of  the  American  Stud  Book  was  published  in 
1876  under  the  name  of  Percheron-Norman  Stud  Book. 
But  after  the  adoption  of  the  name  Percheron  by  the 
French  it  was  changed. 

One  of  the  most  influential  factors  which  has  tended 
toward  bringing  the   Percheron   to  its  present   high 
,  degree  of  perfection  iB  the   interest  taken   by   the 
French  Government.  For  a  long  time  the  government 
,  has  maintained  stud  stables  in  which    were  kept   the 
very  best  stallions  that  oould  be  found.    They  are  let 
;  Out  to  the  farmer  at  a  nominal  fee  and  in  that  way  en- 
couraging them  to  breed  good  animals.     The  govern- 
ment does  not  stop  here.     It  has  established  a  system 
of  inspection  and  license  for  all  stallions  which  are  to 
be  used  for  breeding   purposes,  and   only   animals  of 
merit  are  permitted  to  enter  stud  service.  Two  classefc 
are  recognized,  first  the  "Approved,"  which,  so  long 
as  they  are  kept  in  service,  receive  an  annual  reward 
from   the   government  of  from   seventy -five    to  one 
'hundred  dollars.    The  second   class  is  designated    as 
"Authorized"  stallions,   which  are  commended   for 


public  patronage,  but  not  considered  of  sufficiert 
excellence  to  deserve  a  bounty.  The  law  forbids  the 
use  of  any  stallion  that  has  not  been  authorized  by 
the  government.  The  vast  amount  of  good  arising 
from  this  interest  taken  by  the  government  can 
scarcely  be  estimated.  As  the  railroads  began  to  take 
the  place  of  theold  mail-stage  and  omnibus,  and  speed 
became  a  matter  of  minor  importance,  the  breeder 
gradually  began  to  breed  toward  a  heavier  type.  It 
was  mainly  due  to  this  and  to  the  fact  that  the  con- 
stantly increasing  trade  of  America  demanded  a 
heavier  horse,  that  the  breed  merged  into  what  is 
known  as  the  modern  type  of  Percheron  weighing 
from  1800  to  2300  pounds.  In  this  modern  type  we 
find  a  horse  varying  in  color  from  white  to  black,  but 
tending  toward  the  dark  color.  He  has  an  intelligent, 
attractive  head  with  a  short,  thick  and  beautifully 
crested  neck  set  on  neat,  well-placed  shoulders,  a 
shore  legged,  blocky  type  with  short,  strong  back 
and  coupling  and  heavy  quarters.  He  has  a  clean  leg, 
noted  for  its  straightness  and  soundness,  and  feet  of 
superior  quality.  Percherons  as  a  general  thing  are 
very  insusceptible  to  foot  ailments,  side  bones,  etc. 
They  have  the  much  desired  fast,  straight  walk  and  a 
clean,  open,  easy  trot. 

The  modern  Percheron  is  very  popular  with  the 
American  farmer  hecause  he  is  an  easy  keeper  and  an 
early  maturer,  is  hardy  and  vigorous,  both  docile  and 
sensible,  strong,  active  and  well  adapted  to  all  classes 
of  farm  work  and  city  use.  America  had  a  preference 
for  a  black  horse,  whicn  has  led  to  the  production  of 
darker  colored  horses,  but,  as  is  evidenced  by  some  of 
the  leading  shows  of  the  last  season,  there  is  a 
tendency '.0  revert  to  the  original  color,  that  beauti- 
ful iron  gray.  It  is  a  good  thing  that  this  is  true,  for 
a  minor  point  like  color  should  never  detract  from 
the  value  of  an  otherwise  good  horse.  Is  it  any  won- 
der that  the  progressive  Americans  import  more  of 
these  stallions  than  all  of  the  other  draught  breeds 
combined.  At  the  great  World's  Fair  at  St.  Louis 
this  year  we  found  the  Percheron  superior  to  any 
other  breed,  both  in  number  and  quality.  Nor  is 
the  Percheron  degenerating.  Look  at  the  magnifi- 
cent record  at  the  recent  International  Exposition 
where  those  great  geldings  are  assembled  to  prove 
their  rank  The  Percherons  won  first  in  the  heavy 
geldings,  first,  third,  fourth  and  fifth  in  the  light 
draughters,  first  in  the  light  pairs,  first  in  the  light 
fours,  and  last,  but  not  least,  when  those  flashy  six-in 
hands  were  displayed  the  active  Percheron  geldings 
carried  off  the  royal  purple,  the  greatest  honor  that 
could  be  awarded  to  any  draughter.  Thus  ends  a 
brief  history  of  the  interesting  development  of  a 
breed  of  draught  horses  which  have  wended  their 
way  into  the  industrial  centers  of  nearly  every  nation 
on  the  globe.  If  all  the  horses  through  whose  veins 
flow  the  blood  of  the  noble  Percheron  were  today 
tiken  from  their  toil,  the  wheels  of  industry  and  com- 
merce in  the  world  would  be  practically  at  a  stand- 
still. Millions  of  people  are  dependent  on  them  for 
their  very  existence.  Let  this  be  an  inspiration  to 
the  breeders  of  these  magnificent  horses  and  to  the 
progressive  American  farmers,  who  through  the  use 
of  pure-bred  Percheron  sires  supplies  the  ever- 
increasing  demand  for  high-priced  geldings  in  the 
market  centers  of  the  world.  Let  the  geod  work  go 
on.  Hold  aloof  the  Percheron  banner  and  let  it  for- 
ever stand  as  a  monument  to  the  untiring  efforts  of 
the  patient  farmer  and  breeder  of  the  beautiful  valley 
of  Le  Perche." 

A  Good  Old  Horse  Remedy. 

As  long  as  the  remedy  does  its  work  there  Is  no  occasion  to 
change.  This  is  the  doctrine  that  has  been  acted  upon  by  a  whole 
generation  of  users  ol  a  hor^e  remedy  that  Is  being  advertised  in 
our  columns.  We  refer  no  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure,  the  preparation 
of  the  Dr.  B  J.  Kendall  Co..  Enosburg  Falls,  Vt.,  though  It  is 
hardly  necessary  to  tell  readers  of  this  paper  where  or  by  whom 
Kendall's  Spavin  Cure  is  made.  The  most  common  ailments  of 
horses  are  very  similar  from  year  to  year.  Spavins,  Ringbones, 
Curbs  and  Splints  are  characteristic  horse  aliments.  What  Is 
found  to  be  a  good  method  in  one  case,  even  a  generation  ago,' 18 
gouo  still.  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure  is,  bejond  question,  such  a 
remedy—  we  had  a  most  said  the  remedy.  As  these  common  hurse 
ailments,  the  ones  coming  up  most  frequently  to  be  treated,  do 
not  change,  so  Kendall's  Spavin  Cure  does  not  ohange.  It  Is  the 
same  remedy  that  wasdiscovered  by  the  great  veterinarian  thirty 
years  ago.  Its  use  has  been  continuous  alwBys  widening  out 
until  it  has  become  the  standard  remedy  for  horse  owners  In 
many  countries  besides  our  own.  Nothing  could  more  emphati- 
cally attest  its  virtues.  It  is  a  remedy  that  oo  hor6e  owner  should 
be  without.  All  druggists  handle  It.  The  Kendall  Company

An  Unborn  Foal  Sells  lor  $1000. 

Last  week's  Western  Horseman  published  at  Indian- 
apolis contained  the  following: 

Mr.  Upson  A.  Andrews,  of  Forest  City  Farm,  Cleve- 
land, O.,  was  a  visitor  at  Maywood  Stock  Farm  early 
this  week,  at  which  place  he  has  two  very  great  mares 
which  are  being  bred  to  Sidney   Dillon,  and   he,  like 
everyone  who  visits  Maywood  Stock  Farm,  was  capti- 
vated with  the  renowned  6ire  of  Lou  Dillon  1:58}.    Mr. 
Andrews  was  a  prospective  bidder  on   Sidney   Dillon 
at  the  Madison  Square  Garden   sale,  but,  as  he  new 
expresses  it,  failed  to  grasp  the  true  greatness  of  the 
stallion  as  a  speed  sire.    He  was  not  long,  however,  in 
realizing  the  fact  that  he  overlooked  a  winning  hand, 
and  while  here  pressed  Mr.  Holt   for  a   price   on   the 
stallion  now.     Mr.  Holt  declined  to  name  a   price,  re. 
marking  incidentally,    "Why   I  could    not  afford    to 
take  fifty    thousand   dollars  for   him,"  to   which   re- 
mark Mr.  Andrews  replied:     "Well,  price  him  "    But 
no  price  was  named  by  Mr.  Holt.     Mr.  Andrews  is  a 
"game  man, "  is  financially  able  to  buy  what  he  wants, 
and  as  he(with  Mr.  H.  H.  Stambaugh,  another  gentle- 
man of  the  same  class),  owns  one  of  the   finest  stock 
farms  in  America,  one  of  the  very  greatest  speed  sires 
in  the  world  would  just  about  fill   the  bill.     Had   Mr. 
Holt  been  in  a  selling  mood  It  is  most  likely  that   Sid. 
ney  Dillon  would  have  readily  found  another  new  and 
elegant  home.     As  it  was,  the  two  gentlemen  made  a 
"side  deal"  and  "let  it  go  at   that."    Mr.  Andrews 
asked  Mr.  Holt  to  price  the  prospective  foal  by  Sidney 
Dillon   out   of  Earalma,   dam   of    Boralma  and   Pan 
Michael,  he  (Mr.  Andrews)  to    take  the  foal  at   five 
months  of  age,  regardless  of  sex,  quality  or  soundness. 
Mr.  Holt  named  $1000  as  the  price,  which  proposition 
the  Ohio  breeder  promptly  accepted,  and   tendered   a 
$500  advance  payment.     But  the  deal  was  closed,  Mr. 
Holt   declining    the  advanced    payment.      Thus   Mr. 
Holt  sold  his  first  Sidney  Dillon,  several  months  before 
it  is  foaled,  for  $1000,  and  at  that,  with  good  luck,  Mr. 
Andrews  will  have  secured  a  rare  bargain. 

Suspensions  Instaad  ol  Fines. 

In  a  recent  letter  Palmer  L.Clark  expressed  a  truth 
which  has  frequently  been  reiterated  in  these  columns, 
and  which  cannot  too  strongly  be  impressed  upon  the 
attention  of  the  boardB  of  the  turf  associations  which 
review  the  decisions  of  judges.    Mr.  Clark  says: 

"The  imposition  of  a  fine  depends  altogether  on  the 
magnitude  of  the  offense,  and  if  some  owner  or  driver 
committs  some  breach  of  the  rules  governing  harness 
contests  as  to  merit  expulsion  or  suspension,  a  fine 
becomes  a  ridiculous  thing  when  substituted.  TMb 
becomes  especially  true  and  apparent  when  the  fraud 
perpetrated  nets  the  offenders  many  times  the  value 
of  the  fine,  and  moreover  invites  a  continuation  of 
fraud  or  violation  of  the  rules  when  it  is  known  that 
only  a  fine  will  be  imposed  instead  of  the  suspension 
or  expulsion  that  carries  with  it  drastic  punishment 
merited  by  the  offender,  and  in  addition  becomes  a 
wholesome  warning  for  others." 

The  above  very  clearly  expresses  the  truth  as  to 
the  use  and  abuse  of  the  method  of  punishment  by 
fine.  The  driver  who  can  escape  the  consequences  of  a 
violation  of  the  rules  with  a  fine  which  represents  an 
infinitesimal  part  of  the  sum  he  has  gained  by  his 
misdoing,  has  really  purchased  an  indulgence,  and 
will  not  be  deterred  from  doing  the  same  thing  again 
when  the  opportunity  occurs.  Good  raoe  track  dis- 
cipline justifies  the  imposition  of  a  fine  only  in  cases 
of  comparatively  insignificant  misbehavior.  A  driver 
who  delays  the  start,  who  scores  ahead  of  the  pole 
horse,  who  is  improperly  attired,  or  who  is  guilty 
of  any  other  petty  misdemeanor  may  be  properly  dis- 
ciplined by  a  fine,  but  the  resort  to  that  method  is 
warranted  by  few  offenses  of  greater  gravity.  The 
President  of  the  National  Trotting  Association  has 
officially  and  specifically  given  his  sanction  to  the 
plan  of  limited  suspension.  He  has  declared  that 
there  is  nothing  inharmonious  to  the  trotting  rules  In 
applying  this  method  of  discipline  to  any  breach  that 
is  discovered,  and  that  the  judges  have  the  power  to 
fix  any  limit  to  the  length  of  suspension,  from  twenty- 
four  hours  to  twelve  months.  An  intelligent  direc- 
tion In  the  use  of  this  authority  by  the  judges  will  do 
more  In  a  single  season  to  deter  the  propensity  upon 
the  part  of  the  drivers  to  do  wrong  than  all  the  fines 
that  can  be  imposed   In  a  decade. — Trotter  and  Pactr.

The  English  Coursing  Classic. 

The  laxity  of  Interest  In  the  open  coursing  In  some 
of  the  Middle  West  sections  and  other  partB  of  the 
country  where  it  once  flourished  has  been  a  matter  of 
regret  to  many  sportsmen.  The  difficulty  of  procur- 
ing "jacks"  recently  has  threatened  the  continuance 
of  enclosed  coursing  on  the  Coast.  The  opposition  of 
th';  so-oalled  immune  societies  and  their  following  is 
also  a  dampener. 

Whether  the  game  will  ever  again  become  ae  popu- 


lar as  in  former  years  is  a  debatable  matter.  That  it 
is  still  popular  in  certain  quarters  is  beyond  question. 
In  England  the  sport  retains  its  popularity,  which 
grows  with  years.  What  the  Derby  is  to  the  racing 
man,  the  Oxford  and  Cambridge  boat  rece  to  the 
rowing  man,  the  Waterloo  cup  is  to  the  coursing 
man.  Those  who  are  not  coursing  men  have  perhaps 
but  a  dim  idea  of  what  the  Waterloo  cup  is.  Many 
know  that  this  is  a  sport  in  which  Greyhounds  and 
hares  take  a  prominent  part,  but  others  share  the 
blissful  ignorance  of  the  sportsman  who  declined  to 
name  his  pick  for  the  Waterloo  cup  until  he  knew 
who  was  "up." 

Coursing  is  pursued  inmost  parts  of  England,  but 
Lancashire  is  the  great  coursing  county.  There  are 
countless  minor  stakes,  but  the  Waterloo  cup  is  the 
event  of  the  year.  The  pick  of  England's  Greyhounds 
compete,  and  only  the  pick,  for  none  but  pedigree 
dogs  whose  names  are  in  the  studbook  may  enter,  and 
the  number  of  entries  is  limited  to  64. 

All  the  dogs  are  drawn  against  each  other  in  pairsj 
then  the  winners  of  the  first  and  second  pairs  meet 
each  other,  and  so  on  down  the  whole  liBt.  The  draw 
takes  place  at  Liverpool  the  night  before  the  event, 
usually  in  a  room  at  one  of  the  leading  hotels.  Cards 
bearing  the  numbers  of  the  64  dogs  are  drawn  alter- 
nately from  two  ancient  jugs  of  Staffordshire  pottery 
which  have  assisted  at  the  draw  for  years  past. 

The  smoke  room  is  thronged  with  sturdy,  red- 
faced,  open-air  men,  mostly  in  cloth  caps  and  gaiters, 
and  the  air  is  thick  with  tobaceo  smoke  and  "doggy" 
technicalities.  An  election  committee  room  on  the 
eve  of  the  declaration  of  a  parliamentary  poll  is  calm 
and  unenthusiastic  compared  with  the  smoke  room 
when  the  draw  has  been  made  and  the  experts  know 
which  dog  is  to  meet  which  the  following  morn. 

And  on  the  following  morn  all  Liverpool  and  most 
all  Lancashire  flock  to  AUcar  by  road  and  rail.  A 
black  army  of  men,  ten  deep,  wind  like  a  mighty 
serpent  over  the  flat,  green  country  till  they  come  to 
the  held  where  the  start  is  to  be  made.  They  settle, 
like  a  swarm  of  locusts,  on  a  coign  of  vantage,  usually 
one  of  the  long,  high  banks  which  abound.  Before 
them  stretches  a  big  flat,  bare  of  life  save  for  the 
judge  and  the  committeemen  and  a  screen  behind 
which  a  man  in  a  red  coat  and  gaiters  is  holding  the 
first  pair  of  dogs  in  leash. 

Afar  off  over  the  countryside  is  a  vague  shouting, 
which  gradually  comes  nearer,  as  the  beaters  close  in 
on  the  hares,  which  have  been  fed  up  and  left  un- 
molested for  weeks  before  coursing  begins.  Presently 
tiny  black  figures  waving  their  arms  appear  on  the 
sky  line.  They  resolve  themselves  into  men,  and  then 
little  specks  appear  running  about  the  ground  in 
front  of  them.  At  length  one  of  these  little  specks 
becomes  a  hare,  and  comes  galloping  along  past  the 
fatal  screen. 

The  dogs  are  eager  and  strain  madly  at  the  leash. 
The  man  gives  the  hare  fair  law,  runs  with  the  dogs 
till  they  are  evenly  behind  the  hare,  and  then  slips 
them.  Quick  as  the  hare  runs  she  has  no  chance  in  a 
straight  race  with  the  dogs,  which  can  cover  16  feet 
at  a  jump.  Her  hope  Is  in  dodging,  and  a  good  hare, 
by  the  speed  with  which  she  turns,  will  escape  the 
dogs  for  some  minutes.  Then  she  turns  the  fraction 
of  a  second  too  late,  and  there  is  nothing  left  of  her 
but  a  limp  piece  of  fur  dangling  in  the  vicelike  jaws 
of  her  slayer. 

Som.btim.es  the  hare  wiH  manage  to  keep  dodging 
till  the  dogs,  which  have  lesB  staying  power  than  a 
hare,  are  tired  out,  and  then  Bhe  goes  off,  practically 
leaving  the  dogs  at  a  standstill,  pursued  by  cheers 
and  cries  of  "good  hare, "  or  sometimes  she  is  lucky 
enough  to  find  Banctuary  in  a  drain  or  some  other 
place  into  which  the  dogs  cannot  follow. 

When  all  the  hares  out  of  one  stretch  of  the  country 
have  been  beaten  up  a  move  is  made  to  another  flat. 
The  spectators  flock  across  the  fields  in  a  joyous  mob, 
scrambling  over  dykes,  leaping  over  ditches,  and 
sometimes  plunging  into  them.  It  may  be  necessary 
to  make  four  or  five  shifts  during  the  day,  and  the 
sportsman  who  wishes  to  see  all  the  sport  must  be  a 
good  pedestrian  and  possess  workmanlike  boots  and 
gaiters. 

The  ruleB  of  coursing  are  rather  complicated.  The 
dog  which  "kills"  does  not  necessarily  win  the  course. 
Certain  minor  points  are  taken  into  consideration. 
They  are  a9  follows:  (1)  Speed,  (2)  the  go-by,  (3)  the 
turn,  (4)  the  wrench,  (5j  the  kill. 

In  judging  "speed"  consideration  is  given  as  to 
wheiher  the  dog  has  lost  ground  at  the  start  or  had 
to  run  on  the  "outside"  of  the  other  dog,  owing  to  the 
direction  taken  by  the  hare. 

In  the  "go-by"  a  dog  starts  a  clear  length  behind 
the  other  dog,  yet  gets  a  clear  length  before  him  in  a 
straight  run. 

A  "turn"  1b  when  a  hare,  finding  the  dogs  close  on 
her,  suddenly  turns  off  at  not  less  than  a  right  angle. 
Tho  "wrench"  is  when  she  turns  at  less  than  a  right 
angle. 

As  to  the  "kill"  the  merit  of  that  depends  on 
whether  the  dog  oatches  the  hare  purely  by  his  speed 
and  skill  or  whether  she  foolishly  gives  blm  the 
chance  or  is  "turned"  into  him  by  the  other  dog. 

The  meeting  lasts  three  days.  On  the  first  day  the 
32  first  heats  and  the  16  second  heats  for  the  cup  are 
run.  On  the  second  and  third  days  the  remaining 
heats  for  the  cup  are  run,  as  well  as  those  for  the 
Waterloo  purse,  which  is  a  consolation  prize  for  the 
32  dogs  beaten  in  the  first  round  of  the  cup,  and   the 


Waterloo  plate,  which  is  a  consolation  prize  for  the  16 
dogs  beaten  in  the  second  round. 

Four  dogs  are  always  left  for  the  third  day  of  the 
cup.  Hares  which  are  seen  to  be  weak  as  they  run 
past  the  screen  are  allowed  to  escape.  Sometimes  four 
or  five  slip  away  unchased  befor  a  "strong"  hare 
comes  along  worthy  to  be  coursed  by  these  four  good 
dogs. 

The  winner  of  the  Waterloo  cup  gets  $2500  in  cash,, 
the  runner-up  $1000,  the  third  and  fourth   $250  each,  . 
and    the   remainder  smaller    amounts.      The  money-, 
comes  out  of  the  entrance  fees,   which  at  3125   each 
realize  $8000  for  64  entries. 

But,   in   addition   to  the  $2500 — which   often   does 
Dot  cover  the   expense    of    the   dog's  training — the/ 
owner  of  the  winning  dog  holds  till  the  next  year  a 
necklace  made  of  links  on   which   are  engraved   the^ 
names  of  all  the  winners  of  previous  years.    Afresh' 
link  is  added  every   year.     Only  eight   owners   have 
won  the  cup  more  than  once.     Col.  North   made  the 
record,  winning  it   four  times  straight  off — 1889  to 
1892 — with  the  same  dog,  the  famous  Pullerton.  Begin-  . 
ning  with  this  year  the  Earl  of  Sefton,    on   whose 
estate  the  meeting  is  held,  has  added  a  valuable  cup 
for  the  winner. 

A  coursing  Greyhound  is  trained  as  carefully  as  a 
race  horse.  Ab  a  pup  he  is  usually  entrusted  to  a 
farmer  who  accepts  such  charges,  and  under  whose 
care  he  leads  a  rural  life,  free  from  anxiety^  and 
sweetened  by  good  milk  and  fresh  air. 

When  the  dog  is  half-grown  he  is  taken  off  this 
"walk"  as  it  is  called,  and  after  a  while  allowed  to 
run  loose  with  his  mate  The  two  young  dogs  play 
"hare  and  hounds"  literally,  and  course  each  other  in 
play  until  they  develop  into  athletic  dogs,  sound  in 
wind  and  limb.  They  are  fed  on  the  best  of  the  land 
and  kept  groomed  till  they  are  as  glossy  as  new  silk 
hats. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGCOM. 


;r 


BEST    AMERICAN    BRED    POINTER. 

The  following  communication  is  self  explanatory. 
Mason's  King  has  been  systematically  touted  all  over 
the  Coast  as  a  wonderful  Pointer.  He  is,  and  in  a  class 
by  himself,  one  that  a  sportsmen  who  wants  a  dog  to 
work  to  the  gun  has  no  use  for: 

2941  La  Salle  Ave., 
Los  Angeles,  June  22,  1904. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman— Dear  Sir:  In 
your  issue  of  May  20th  tbe  special  awards  at  the  San 
Francisco  dog  show  gave  Mason's  King  as  the  winner 
of  the  cup  for  "Best  American  bred  Pointer  owned  oi 
the  Pacific  Coast."    This  cup  was  awarded   to  m 
bitch  Faith  and  the  cup  is  now  in  my  possession. 

I  would  not  trouble  you  about  this  correction  only 
there  seems  to  be  a  concerted  effort  to  withhold  the 
credit  of  this  win  from  my  dog.  One  kennel  (?)  paper 
which  devoted  its  entire  -pace  to  this  show  and  giving 
all  the  awards,  accidentally  omitted  this  one  (and  this 
one  only).  Mr.  Chute,  the  ring  s.eward,  marked  up 
the  award  book  giving  this  special  to  Mason's  King, 
and  when  I  asked  to  be  allowed  to  compete  for  the 
cup  I  had  to  call  Mr.  Ashton's  attention  to  it  per- 
sonally before  I  was  allowed  to  bring  my  dog  into  tbe 
ring.  Mr.  Chute  tried  to  argue  the  question  until 
finally  Mr.  Ashton  told  him  there  was  no  comparison 
between  the  dogs. 

While  I  do  not  consider  it  any  honor  to  beat  this 
dog  I  do  not  wish  any  of  my  dogs  to  rest  under  the 
stigma  of  having  been  beaten  by  Mason's  King.  I 
know  that  this  error  was  not  made  by  your  paper, 
but  I  hope  you  can  see  your  way  clear  to  rectify  it, 
and  oblige.  Yours  sincerely, 

Wm.  J.  Morris. 

THE    DOG    IN    AMERICA. 

The  first  adequate  treatment  of  the  dog  in  America 
is  given  in  "The  Dog  Book. "  Mr.  James  Watson,  the 
author,  has  been  a  dog  breeder  and  student  for  nearly 
forty  years,  both  in  this  country  and  in  England. 
This  long  experience,  both  as  a  judge  at  shows  and  a 
practical  fancier,  has  been  supplemented  by  exhaustive 
research,  in  consequence,  his  work  is  really  the  initial 
adequate  and  comprehensive  treatment  of  tbe  dog  in 
America.  It  is  replete  with  practical  information  as 
to  buying  and  breeding  dogs,  their  care  and  the  like. 
Each  separate  breed  is  described  at  length:  its  origin, 
special  qualities,  points  of  the  perfect  type,  and  its 
value.  The  unprecedented  increase,  in  recent  years, 
of  interest  in  canine  affairs  and  dogs  is  evidenced  by 
the  number  and  prosperity  of  the  Kennel  Associations, 
and  this  great  book  will,  beyond  question,  be  the 
standard  on  the  subject.  It  is  the  only  publication, 
here  or  elsewhere,  in  which  the  possibilities  of  photo- 
graphic illustrations  for  dog  portraits  and  animals  in 
motion  has  been  made  use  of.  The  work  will  be  in  10 
parts  of  about  80  pages  each.  Parts  1  and  2  are  al- 
ready issued.  Part  3  is  devoted  to  the  Irish  and 
Gordon  Setters,  Clumber  and  Sussex  Spaniels.  The 
chapters  devoted  to  the  Irish  Setter  are  interesting 
in  the  extreme  and  beautifully  illustrated,  among  the 
engravings  is  one  of  Mr.  J.  Wulffsohn's,  of  Victoria, 
B.  C.,  Irish  Setter  Jeannot,  one  of  the  best  of  the 
breed  on  the  Coast. 

The  "early  history"  is  good  and  readable  for  any- 
one. Then  there  is  for  the  "dog  man"  thechapter  on 
pedigree.  It  will  do  a  lot  of  good  for  breeding  in 
general  if  new  beginners  will  understand  that  "pedi- 
gree" is  not  merely  names.  So  far,  this  particular  In 
feature  6eems  £o  have  escaped  the  attention  of  the 
orltlcs  and  we  believe  fancierB  will  greatly  appreciate 
it  when  they  read  it, 

Mr.  Watson  requests  us  to  announce  that  he  is 
desirous  of  proouring  pictures  of  good  dogs,  past  and 
present,  of  all  breeds.  Such  of  them  received  that 
are  wanted  back  by  the  sender,  will  be  returned,  if  a 
request  to  that  effect,  and  also  the  address,  are  written 
on  the  back  of  the  photo. 

Santa  Cruz  show  opens  next  Thursday  and  closes 
Saturday.  We  are  informed  that"  the  exhibit  will 
have  entries  enough  for  a  two  point  show,     _

"Can  dogs  find  their  way  home  from  a  distance?" 
Is  a  question  frequently  asked.  It's  according  to  the 
dog.  If  it  is  one  you  want  to  get  rid  of  he  can  find 
his  way  back  from  Africa.  If  he  is  a  valuable  one  he 
is  apt  to  get  lost  if  he  goes  around  the  corner.

BIO    MACKINAW    TROUT    CAUGHT 

E.  L.  Heller  of  New  York,  a  guest  at  the  Tallao 
HouBe,  Lake  Tahoe,  landed,  with  an  eight  ounce  rod, 
one  day  last  week  a  29J  pound  Mackinaw  trout.  The 
biff  fish  was  played  for  two  hours  on  the  light  tackle 
before  it  was  landed. 

Mackinaw  trout  were  planted  in  the  lake  nearly  ten 
years  ago  by  R.  W.  McFarland  and  have  been  taken 
frequently  The  fish  Is  a  char  and  in  the  great  lakes, 
Individual  fish  of  this  variety  of  trout  have  been 
taken  that  weighed  over  one  hundred  pounds.  It  is 
a  denizen  of  the  deeper  waters  and  has  this  dis- 
tinguishing feature  that,  while  it  has  the  Bpotted 
characteristics  of  the  trout  family,  the  fish  unlike 
moBt  of  its  cousins,  has  not  a  particle  of  red  coloring 
or  spots  on  its  body.    

TROUT    PLENTIFUL    IN    TAHOE. 

Deputy  Fish  Commi-sioner  Welch  who  was  recently 
at  Truckee  and  about  that  section  of  the  State  for  a 
week  or  more  visiting  the  different  local  Pish  and 
Game  Protective  Associations,  speaking  of  a  visit  to 
Lake  Tahoe,  where  he  went  to  look  after  the  interest 
of  the  different  kinds  of  trout,  stated  that  never  in 
his  official  capacity  had  he  seen  trout  so  plentiful  as 
they  are  this  year  in  Lake  Tahoe  If  it  was  not  for 
the  State  law  protecting  the  finny  tribes,  tons  of  fish 
would  be  shipped  daily  to  the  markets.  There  are  at 
least  twenty-five  men  fishing  there  every  day  and 
each  one  Is  making  good  money.  The  fishermen  are 
receiving  from  25  to  40  centB  per  pound  for  their  fish, 
and  they  are  unable  to  supply  the  demand.  The 
usual  price  for  lake  trout  there  at  this  time  of  the 
year  ia  15  cents  per  pound. 


The  Big  Stoney  In  Colusa  county  Is  generally  good 
at  this  time  of  the  year.  A  trip  to  the  stream  was 
made  recently  by  a  party  of  anglers  composed  of  W. 
W.  Richards,  Walter  D.  Mansfield,  Ed  Everett  and 
John  Seibe.  Each  of  the  party  had  well  filled  creels 
on  their  return.  The  stream  waB  found  to  be  un- 
usually high,  which  argues  excellent  fly-fishing  there, 
at  present.  The  trout  had  a  liking  for  No.  6  flies 
rather  than  the  usual  smaller  ones.  A.  No.  1  spoon  is 
also  a  good  killer. 

Some  excellent  catches  of  trout  have  recently  been 
taken  In  the  Little  Sur  in  Monterey  county. 


Over  twenty-five  boats  were  out  on  Lake  Merritt 
last  Sunday  and  bait  fishing  for  striped  bass  was  fairly 
good.  Between  40  and  50  fish  were  taken,  nearly  all 
small  ones.  The  largest  bass  in  Bert  Spring's  catch 
was  a  4-pounder.  The  water  in  the  lake  has  been  high 
or  low,  according  to  the  tides,  for  several  weeks  pa6t 
the  flood  gates  have  been  kept  open  all  the  time. 


Salmon  are  now  running  off  Capitola  and  Santa 
Cruz,  and,  it  is  reported,  gradually  leaving  the  waters 
off  Monterey.  So'me  large  catches  of  fine  fish  have 
been  recently  taken  off  Capitola  where  a  large  flotilla 
of  boats  can  be  Been  daily,  the  occupants  of  which 
enjoy  the  sport  hugely. 


Fly-fishing  in  the  streams  of  the  Santa  Cruz 
mountains  is  now  in  full  swing  and  anglers  who  make 
the  trip  to  that  delightful  region  are  being  repaid 
with  well  filled  baskets. 


Anglers  who  have  tried  the  Paper  Mill  and  other 
streams  in  the  vicinity  of  Point  Reyes  have  had  fairly 
good  sport  recently.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Eureka  Gun  Club  held  its  regular  monthly 
shoot,  June  18th,  at  its  grounds  on  the  Humboldt  bay 
peninsula.  The  diamond  medal  of  the  first  class 
remains  in  the  Parker  family  and  Dr.  Loofbourrow 
was  relieved  of  the  leather  medal  of  the  kindergarten 
class.  In  the  diamond  medal  class,  Frank  Parker 
who  had  won  it  twice  in  succession  relinquished  the 
prize  to  his  brother,  Wiley  Parker,  and  in  the  other 
class,  J.  Black,  a  new  recruit,  commenced  with  the 
leather  medal  to  work  his  way  up  to  the  diamond. 
Following  was  the  score  at  25  targets: 

Buhne  17,  Frank  Parker  15,  Perrott  19,  Clanton  21, 
Loofbourrow  15,  Kelly  21,  Wiley  Parker  22,  Black  12 
Dungan  15,  C.  C   Falk  18,  Cook  20. 

At  a  business  meeting  of  the  club  it  developed  that 
the  Woodpecker  Club  has  ceased  to  exist  and  its  club 
house,  traps  and  other  paraphernalia  adjoining  the 
Eureka  Club's  grounds,  together  with  several  of  Its 
members,  have  been  absorbed  by  the  Eureka  Club. 
The  members  taken  in  by  the  old  club  are  Messrs! 
Black,  Dean,  Wilson,  Carmichael  and  Clancy. 

At  the  meeting  it  was  decided  to  entertain  all  of  the 
other  gun  clubs  of  the  county  at  an  Inter-club  shoot 
and  barbecue  to  be  held  on  the  peninsula  grounds 
Sunday,  July  2,  and  accordingly  invitations  for  a 
grand  reunion  have  been  issued. 


The  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  regular   shoot   for  July 
will  take  place  at  Ingleside  tomorrow; 


A  pigeon  shoot  and  outing  wilt  take  place  at 
Reclamation,  Sonoma  county,  in  August,  under  the 
auspices  oi  the  "old"  Lincoln  Gun  Club.  A  good 
time  is  an  assurance  to  those  who  will  be  present. 


At  the  Millwood  Gun  Club  shoot,  June  25th,  four 
regular  events  were  shot  as  follows:

At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  club  the  following 
officers  were  elected  for  the  coming  year:  Wm.  Price, 
president;  R.  Haas,  vice-president;  Robt.  Van  Norden, 
secretary-treasurer;  Wm.  Johnson,  field  captain. 

The  club  is  in  a  very  prosperous  condition  and  if  the 
members  will  always  turn  out  in  good  force  as  they 
did  last  Sunday,  will  be  one  of  the  best  in  the  State. 


The  Blue  Rock  Club  of  Bakerefield  held  a  successful 
shoot  at  the  club  grounds  on  June  11th. 

Captain  Shatter,  U.  S.  A.,  made  the  highest  score 
of  the  day,  breaking  85  out  of  100  targets.  Scofield 
was  a  close  second  with  80  and  Yancey  third,  with  a 
percentage  of  78  8-9. 

Yancey  got  his  shooting  eye  late  in  the  day.-  In  the 
first  three  matches  he  fell  way  below  his  average  but 
in  the  last  three  he  broke  ten  straight  twice  and  nine 
the  third. 

Mr.  W.  S.  Tevis,  the  president  of  the  club,  has  in- 
formed the  members  that  they  may  have  the  club 
house  on  the  old  grounds  at  the  race  track  if  they  will 
move  it.  The  house  can  be  moved  very  easily  and  at 
a  small  expense  and  it  is  more  than  likely  that  it  sill 
be  in  place  on  the  new  grounds  in  time  for  the  next 
shoot. 

The  scores  made  were  as  follows: 

Shot  at  Broke     Per  Cent 

Shatter 100  85  85 

Scofield 100  80  80

On  June  lS'.h  the  regular  Sunday  blue  rock  shoot  of 
the  club  took  place  and  the  honors  of  the  day  again 
went  to  Captain  Shatter,  who  broke  87  out  of  a  possi-

The  Belvidere  Gun  Club  was  recently  organized  and 
will  conduct  a  series  of  trap  shoots  at  the  club 
groundson  thenorth  end  of  Belvidere  island,  Tiburon. 
The  grounds  are  fitted  up  with  three  expert  traps, 
Sergeant  system,  which  are  operated  by  electric  pulls. 

The  list  of  membership  is  the  following:  A.  C. 
Adbr,  L.  S.  Adams  Jr.  Dr.  George  L.  Bean,  Robert 
B.  Bain  Jr.,  F.  T.  Bowers,  Dr  L.  L  Dunbar,  C  W. 
Evans,  Dr.  B.  W.  Haines,  Fred  W.  Kelley,  W.  C.

The  Stockton  Gun  Club  held  its  first  target  shoot  of 
the  Beason  on  June  18th  at  the  grounds  near  J.  T. 
Stevenson's  model  roadBide  resort  at  the  Intersection 
ef  the  old  French  Camp  turnpike  and  the  highway 
leading  to  the  steel  bridge.  Being  the  first,  the  Bhoot 
was  not  well  attended.  Only  seven  of  the  gun  club 
members  were  present,  and,  as  might  be  expected 
because  of  a  year's  lack  of  practice,  the  scores  made 
were  poor.  Even  Charles  Merrill  broke  only  seven 
out  of  ten  blue  rocks. 

A  blue  rock  shoot  will  be  held  by  the  club  every 
Sunday  afternoon  at  the  Bame  grounds,  and  later  on 
there  wiil  be  a  live  pigeon  shoot  if  birds  can  be  ob- 
tained. The  largest  pigeon  loft  in  San  Joaquin 
county  Is  at  the  Kidd  ranch,  on  Union  island,  but  it 
Was  recently  depleted  by  the  sale  of  1400  birds  to  San 
Francisco  trap  shooting  clubs,  leaving  only  about  a 
hundred  pairs  for  breeding.  This  pigeon  loft  was 
started  by  Tom  Williams  during  his  residence  on  the 
island,  for  the  purpose  of  raising  birds  to  shoot  at  the 
traps. 


The  Interstate  Association  Grand  American  Handi- 
cap began  on  Tuesday  at  Indianapolis  under  the  best 
auspices.  In  the  events  preliminary  to  the  Grand 
American  bluerock  handicap  shoot  on  Wednesday  W. 
R.  Crosby  of  O'Fallen,  111.,  was  high  gun  with  199 
breaks  out  of  a  possible  200.  He  missed  his  first  tar- 
get. Fred  Gilbert,  of  Spirit  Lake,  Iowa  was  second, 
with  196.  The  feature  event  of  the  day  was  the  State 
amateur  five-man  team  shooting  at  500  targets — 100 
per  man.  The  first  squad  from  Ohio  carried  off  the 
honors  with  a  total  of  474  breaks. 


Trap  shooting  in  the  Hawaiian  Territory  has 
apparently  caught  on  with  the  sportsmen  of  the 
islands  as  the  following  account  of  a  recent  meet  of 
Honolulu  shooters  will  show. 

The  fourth  semi-annual  shoot  of  the  Hawaiian  Gun 
Club  was  held  at  its  finely  situated  range  in  Manoa 
Valley,  May  30th.  It  was  a  perfect  day  for  trap- 
shooting,  with  no  strong  wind  to  mar  the  flights  of 
the  targets.  The  house  committee,  composed  of 
Messrs.  Porter,  Harvey  and  Gares,  were  rewarded  for 
their  efforts  by  having  present  the  largest  crowd  of 
spectators  in  the  history  of  the  club.  From  start  to 
finish  great  interest  was  taken  in  the  several  matches 
making  up  the  day's  sport,  especially  by  the  large 
number  of  visitors  present,  the  majority  of  whom  bad 
never  witnessed  this  class  of  shooting,  woicb  is  bound 
to  become  one  of  the  island's  most  popular  sports.  A 
fine  chowder  luncheon  was  served  during  the  noon 
hour,  after  which  the  three  concluding  matches  were 
shot  off. 

J.  W.  Harvey  carried  off  the  individual  honorB  of 
the  day  by  winning  the  high  average  cup  with  the 
fine  average  of  90%.  A.  E.  Walker  and  L.  C.  King 
were  second  and  tuird  with  84%  and  75%.  H.  E. 
Gares  pushed  Harvey  hard  for  honors.  Gares  won  the 
20-bird  handicap,  known  angles,  and  the  lO.bird 
scratch,  unknown  angles.  Irwin  Spalding  won  the 
weekly  challenge  cup  with  20  out  of  25  targets. 
Harvey  won  the  cup  twice  previously,  it  now  goes 
into  his  permanent  possession. 

The  great  growth  In  popularity  of  the  Hawaiian 
Gun  Club  during  two  short  years  of  existence  wbb 
shown  not  only  In  this  shoot,  but  also  in  the  fact  that 
the  club  Is  proving  to  be  a  regular  rendezvous  for  the 
field  shooters  of  Oahu  during  the  closed  game  season. 

After  a  short  delay,  caused  by  the  non-arrival  of  a 
few   participants,  the   first    event,   20-blrd     scratch, 
known  angles,  for   President  D.  P  R.  Isenberg's  cup 
cup  and    the  championship   of  the  club,  was  call'?1 
Out  of  the  five  entries  J.  W.  Harvey  took

targets  accurately  until  30  to  40  yards  away,  and 
this  means  a  great  deal  to  many  shooters.  Sheard  s 
win  of  the  Multnomah  medal,  on  23  out  of  25,  the  high 
score  out  of  125  entries  is  an  evidence  of  the  back-

The  San  Francisco  contingent  who  were  present 
and  participated  are  loud  in  their  praises  of  Oregon 
hospitality  and  goodfellowship. 

There  was,  among  the  northern  sportsmen,  quite  a 
sentiment  in  favor  of  holding  the  tournament  next 
year  in  San  Francisco.  At  the  meeting  of  the  asso- 
ciation, however,  Walla  Walla  was  selected.  Ihis 
choice  is  a  good  one,  the  grounds  and  other  facilities 
and  accommodations  for  visiting  shooters  being  most 
acceptable.  A  large  number  of  the  shooters  at  the 
tournament  expressed  their  intentions  of  attending 
the  Interstate  shoot  at  Ingleside  in  September. 

A  J  Webb  won  the  individual  championship  medal

tented  and  made  excellent  records. 

The  fifth  year  I  milked  20  cows.  To 
accommodate  them  the  box  stalls  were 
torn  out  and  two  rows  of  swinging  steel 
stancheons  were  put  in.  On  ace  >unt  o 
location  of  doors  and  to  have  one  central 
feeding  floor,  I  placed  stancheons  so  that 
cows  faced  to  center.  The  records  show 
that  cows  never  did  so  well  after  the 
change.  Tbey  fattened  and  ate  with 
nervous  haste.  The  masterful  ones  would 
horn  their  neighbors  and  shake  their 
heads  threateningly,  with  frequent  cases 
of  insubordination  and  breaking  of  fast- 
enings. There  was  a  general  air  of  dis- 
quiet and  unrest  from  which  they  never 
recovered.  The  troubla  was  ao  seriouB 
that  the  whole  arrangement  -was  altered. 
I  wish  to  emphasize  briefly  the  mistake 
of  stabling  two  rows  of  dairy  cattle  bo 
that  each  can  glare  across  a  narrow  alley 
into  the  eyea  of  the  others.  The  saving 
of  time  and  labor  in  milking,  bedding  and 
cleaning  more  than  offsets  the  advantage 
of  having  a  common  feeding  floor,  besides 
the  gain  of  space  by  placing  cows  with 
heads  to  sidewalks,  thus  permitting  nar- 
row feed  alleys.  There  is  also  a  benefit 
in  having  a  common  entrance,  in  getting 
animals  into  their  placeB.  The  main 
argument  for  the  tail  to  tail  arrangement 
is  that  each  cow  is  secluded  and  no  timid 
one  fears  that  her  neighbor  may  steal  her 
allotment  of  feed  or  threaten  bodily 
injury. 

It  is  extremely  important  that  the  dairy 
cow,  to  do  ber  best,  Bhould  be  sequestered 
when  Btabled.  That  secretion  of  milk  is 
a  nervous  function  is  true  in  two  ways  : 
FirBt,  the  nervous  system  supplies  the 
life  current  whereby  food  is  converted 
into  milk.  Second,  a  cow  will  secrete 
more  and  better  milk  when  she  is  calm 
and  serene  than  when  she  is  nervous  and 
excited.  This  vital  fact  is  of  the  utmoFt 
consequence.  Other  Btones  in  thiB  struct 
ure  are  the  balanced  ration,  cleanliness 
the  daily  individual  record,  the  expert 
milker,  keeping  profitable  cows  only,  in- 
telligent breeding,  etc.,  but  they  all  spell 
failare  without  an  observance  of  this  law

Fine  Cattle  for  the  Humboldt  Herd. 


The  SuiBun  Republican  of  last  Saturday 
contained  the  following:  JR.  M.Dunlap, 
superintendent  of  the  Humboldt  Herd 
owned  by  B.  F.  RuBh  and  William  Pierce 
of  Suiaun,  arrived  from  the  East  last  Fri- 
day, where  he  went  some  weeks  ago  to 
purchase  some  select  Btock  to  be  added  to 
the  herd.  He  brought  with  him  twelve 
head  of  fine  Shorthorns,  eleven  females 
and  one  male,  which  were  selected  frum 
the  best  herds  in  the  States  of  Indiana, 
Iowa,  Missouri,  Nebraska  and  Kansas. 
Mr.  Dunlap  had  been  instructed  by  the 
owners  of  the  Humboldt  Herd  to  purchase 
the  best  stock  to  be  found  regardless  of 
the  price,  and  thiB  he  did  after  inppectiri£ 
the  leading  herds  in  the  country.  The 
price  paid  was  somewhat  higher  than  bad 
been  expected,  but  this  waB  a  secondary 
consideration,  the  main  object  being  to 
get  the  best  stock  possible,  The  cattk 
purchased  are  all  three  years  old  and 
under,  some  of  them  being  prize  winners- 
at  the  World's  Fair  at  St.  Louis  last  year 
Mr.  Dunlap  is  an  expert  judge  of  cattle, 
and  when  he  makes  a  selection  it  may  bi 
depended  upon  that  the  choice  is  the  best. 

It  is  the  intention  of  Messrs.  Rush  and 
Pierce  to  exhibit  twelve  or  fourteen  head 
of  the  choicest  animals  from  the  Hum- 
boldt Herd  at  the  State  Fair,  after  which 
the  show  herd  will  be  taken  to  Portland, 
Oregon,  and  exhibited  at  the  Lewis  and 
Clark  Exposition. 

This  latest  addition  to  the  Humboldt 
Herd  makes  it  perhaps  the  fineBt  herd  of 
cattle  in  the  State,  and  the  owners  are 
confident  that  their  undertaking  in  hand- 
lingthoroughbred  stock  will  be  successful. 


Why  Eating  Hoppers  Kills   the 
Turkeys. 

S.  J.  Patterson,  Bays  the  Oroville  Regis- 
ter, is  one  of  the  few  men  in  Butte  who 
raises  fowls  and  makes  a  close  and  care- 
ful study  of  their  habits  and  life.  He  ie 
successful  because  he  is  all  the  time  find- 
ing out  what  causeB  sickness  or  disease 
among  the  fowls  and  learns  what  remedieB 
are  needed. 

A  man  came  along  the  road  one  day 
lately  and  saw  Sam's  fowls  eating  grass- 
hoppers. "You  don't  know  anything 
about  turkeys,"  said  the  man.  "Every 
one  of  those  fowlB  will  be  dead  in  a  week. 
I  hatched  out  1500,  and  when  the  hoppers 
came  and  they  went  to  eating  them  all 
died  within  a  week." 

Sam  aBked  what  he  fed  the  fowls,  and 
the  man  said  he  did  not  feed  them  any- 
thing. Then  Sam  explained  that  the 
hoppers  were  oily  and  that  the  oil  gave 
the  turkeys  cholera  and  that  killed  them 
off.  He  told  him  that  if  he  fed  his 
lurkevp  wbeat  in  the  morning  and   kept

The  Americans  are  getting  the  mutton 
eating  habit.  Heretofore  they  have  been 
wedded  to  the  sirloin  steak,  but  now  they 
are  catching  on  to  the  merits  of  the  mut- 
ton chop.  This  change  in  taste  means 
much  for  the  future  of  the  sheep  man,  for 
he  can  produce  a  pound  of  mutton  just  as 
cheaply  as  a  pound  of  beef  or  pork,  and  in 
a  way  cheaper,  for  the  sheep  will  make 
good  meat  out  of  much  food  which  is 
generally  wasted  on  the  farm,  while  the

mares  at  the  farm  of  Mr.  C.  W.  Clark, 

SAN    MATEO,    CAI. 
Terms  for  the  Season $25 

HIGHLAND  is  a  grand  looking  young  stallion,  six  years  old  His  breeding  is 
most  fashionable  and  his  immediate  ancestors  are  producers  of  race  wieners  with 
fast  reoords.  He  is  beautifully  gaited  and  has  a  perfect  disposition.  Does  not 
■  pull  or  want  to  break  at  speed,  and  oan  be  placed  at  will  in  a  bunoh  of  horses.  He 
Is  a  high-olaas  horse  and  has  better  than  2:10  speed.  As  he  is  to  be  bred  to  his 
owner's  mares  this  year  and  specially  prepared  for  a  low  record  this  fall,  his  owner 
desires  that  he  be  bred  to  a  few  high-olass  outside  mares  this  season. 

HIGHLAND  is  a  coal  black  horse  with  one  white  hind  ankle,  stands  16  hands 
high  and  weighs  close  to  1200  pounds. 

A  few  mares  at  $35  eaoh  will  also  be  received  to  be  bred  to

champion.    KINNEY  WILKES  Is  hardly  broken  yet,  but  has  shown  2:30  speed.    He  is 
this  year  with  the  view  of  racing  him  next  season.

Dear  Sir: — I  have  a  standard  bred  "Cupid" 
mare  raised  by  Adolph  Spreckels,  the  well-known 
Caiifornian  and  horse  breeder,  and  after  driving 
her  a  few  months  a  bad  spavin  showed  itself  It 
was  fired  and  blistered  by  a  veterinary  and  the 
animal  turned  out  for  three  months.  The  spavin 
was  obstinate  and  the  mare  continued  lame.  I 
used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the-Horse"  and  a  com- 
plete cure  was  the  result. 

Yours,  Geo   A.  Knight.

ments.    Yours  truly,

In  regard  to  "Save  the-Horse,"  I  used  it  with  much  success.  The  running 
horse  Col  Roosevelt,  that  had  broken  down  in  training  for  two  or  three  years 
past,  Ib  now  in  good  shape  and  will  certainly  be  able  to  race  as  well  as  ever 
before.  Have  a'so  used  "Save-thR-Horse  '  on  the  horse  Greyfeld  with  satisfac- 
tory results  Will  also  add  that  I  have  seen  'Save-the-Horse"  remove  a  deep- 
seated  rinebone  from  a  Director  trotting  hirse  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  stable. 

I  am  pleased  to  be  able  to  recommend  "Save-the-Horse"  fr^m  actual 
experience     Yours  'ruly,  GEO.  A.  DAVIS.

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  July  8,  1905. 


A  BIG  SUCCESS  is  the  Los  Angeles  meeting. 
Racing  has  been  first  class  since  the  opening  day, 
the  time  has  been  fast,  contests  good  and  clean,  and  a 
large  crowd  has  been  in  attendance  every  day.  The 
Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association  deserves  the 
thanks  of  every  horseman  in  California  for  its  effort. 
The  energetic  gentlemen  who  organized  it,  showed 
their  faith  in  the  popularity  of  the  sport  by  offering  a 
splendid  program  of  $1000  purses,  and  the  horsemen 
responded  by  giving  them  a  good  entry  list,  and  the 
best  racing  that  Los  Angeles  has  seen  for  years.  The 
Los  Angeles  Association  has  shown  what  energy  and 
enthusiasm  can  do.  There  are  a  dozen  towns  in  Cali- 
fornia where  successful  meetings  could  be  held  every 
year,  if  only  the  people  most  interested  in  harness 
horse  breeding  and  development  had  a  little  of  the 
energy  and  push  the  Los  Angeles  horsemen  have. 
They  have  the  tracks  and  everything  else  that  is 
necessary  except  the  enterprise.  Cannot  some  of  the 
horsemen  who  are  at  Los  Angeles  this  week  discover 
the  energy  germs,  capture  a  few,  bring  them  north 
and  innoculate  the  harness  horse  people  and  track 
owners  here?  They  are  nearly  all  afflicted  now  with 
the  sleeping  sickness,  and  we  think  the  Los  Angeles 
germ  might  effect  a  cure  if  it  could  be  introduced  into 
this  section. 


ENTRIES  CLOSE  MONDAY  NEXT  for  the  State 
Pair  harness  events  and  also  for  six  additional 
purses  for  the  Breeders  meeting  at  Fresno.  These 
are  the  only  remaining  meetings  advertised  for  Cali- 
fornia this  yej.r  except  the  Santa  Rosa  meetiDg  for 
which  entries  are  already  closed,  so  if  owners  wish  to 
race  they  must  make  entries  at  these  two  places.  The 
new  track  at  Sacramento  is  almost  finished  and  will 
be  ready  to  jog  over  within  two  or  three  weeks.  A 
big  force  of  carpenters  and  laborers  is  at  work  on  the 
grounds  and  thiDgs  will  be  in  readiness  for  the  first 
fair  at  the  new  grounds,  which  is  already  the  talk  of 
the  State.  The  harness  program  Is  a  most  liberal  one, 
providing  generous  purses  and  three  races  each  day. 
Every  owner,  breeder  and  trainer  who  has  any  interest 
in  the  breeding  or  developingof  harness  horses  should 
do  everything  in  hiB  power  to  aid  the  State  Fair  this 
year.  Make  entries  if  you  can,  and  solicit  your  friends 
to  make  entries.  Make  the  fair  a  success  so  far  as 
your  efforts  go,  and  help  to  build  up  a  State  institu- 
tion that  under  intelligent  management  will  be  one 
of  great  good  to  all.  Entries  close  Monday  next, 
July  10th. 

Left  Denver  for  Eastern  Tracks. 


reasonable  offer  is  made,  it  is  more  than  probable  that 
this  son  of  Strathway  will  remain  in  the  West.  The 
trotter  has  shown  great  speed  this  season,  hut  seems 
scarcely  over  his  indisposition  of  last  season. 

Miss  Georgie  went  wrong  in  the  only  race  she  started 
here;  Bon  Voyage  has  not  been  right  since  he  as- 
tonished horsemen  by  stepping  a  last  quarter  in  :30, 
and  Sally  Lunn  is  now  indisposed. 

The  match  race  between  Getaway  and  Delia  Mc- 
Carthy did  not  come  off,  the  owners  of  the  mare  pay- 
ing forfeit.  Delia  McCarthy  is  a  good  mare  and 
probably  worth  the  money  paid  for  her,  but  the  Den- 
ver trainers  do  not  think  she  is  a  2:10  prospect  by  a 
good  deal. 

Hallina  Morgan,  the  three-year-old  filly,  stepped  a 
quarter  in  29  seconds  in  a  workout  the  last  day  of  the 
meeting.  She  is  barely  three  years  old  being  a  June 
foal.  She  is  owned  by  Joseph  Barrett  of  Albuquerque, 
and  has  won  nearly  $2000  this  year,  most  of  her  starts 
being  against  aged  horses.  Her  present  record  is  2:21, 
made  at  Las  Vegas,  but  she  was  a  close  second  in 
2:13f  at  Denver  this  week. 

Fast  Mile  by  Tom  Axworthy. 

The  other  day  at  Cleveland,  Tom  Axworthy,  the 
gelding  that-  took  a  four-year-old  trotting  record  of 
2:0S|  last  year  in  October,  was  down  on  the  matinee 
program  for  an  effort  to  beat  2:13J  to  wagon.  In  the 
absence  of  his  owner,  F.  G.  Jones  of  Memphis,  H.  K. 
Devereux  drove  him.  Of  course  everybody  looked 
for  a  winning  mile,  but  no  one  anticipated  the  ex- 
treme speed  he  displayed.  Tom  Axworthy  is  a  giant, 
and  built  on  the  lines  of  a  greyhound.  He  hasn't  the 
slashing,  determined  gait  of  most  great  horses — a  gait 
that  is  Impressive  of  extreme  speed — but  he  glid"s  so 
smoothly,  so  tigerishly  stealthy,  and  so  seemingly 
without  barely  touching  the  ground,  that  he  deceives 
one  as  to  his  speed.  He  did  not  look  to  be  going  fast, 
but  when  he  finished  the  mile  the  watches  showed 
2:09,  with  the  last  half  in  1:03 J,  and  the  last  quarter 
in  3H  seconds.  When  Mr.  Devereux  finished  the  per- 
formance he  said :  ;'My,  but  that  is  a  fast  horse.  He 
did  not  look  to  be  going  fast,  and  the  fact  is  that  he 
was  only  jogging  apparently  throtigh  the  stretch.  I 
never  urged  him."  With  the  exception  of  Lou  Dillon 
no  trotter  ever  negotiated  a  mile  in  time  as  fast  at 
this  season  of  the  year.  What  Tom  Axworthy  will 
do  later  on  no  one  will  venture  a  prediction.  Mr. 
Jones  will  start  him  frequently  at  the  matinees,  and 
when  the  inter-city  meeting  takes  place  Tom  Axwor- 
thy will  be  a  starter  for  the  gold  cup. 


Frank  Herdic  Still  in  the  Game. 


Last  Saturday  the  first  consignment  of  harness 
horses  that  have  been  racing  at  Denver  left  for  the 
East.  The  first  carload  contained  the  W.  A.  Clark 
Jr.  string,  including  Bon  Voyage,  Miss  Georgie,  Mo- 
rone,  Sally  Lunn  and  Will  Clark.  With  this  string 
were  shipped  Oregon  Maid  and  Getaway  of  the  J.  A. 
Richardson  string,  Helen  Norte  and  Belladi  of  the 
Brent  stable,  and  Morosco  2:12  and  Mack  Mack  2:12}, 
who  are  in  charge  of  Driver  Henry  Hellman. 

These  owners  planned  to  stop  off  at  L.berty  ville, 
111.,  to  take  advantage  of  the  six  days'  race  meeting 
there.  They  will  then  split  up.  Driver  Rutherford 
of  the  Brent  string  and  Hellman  will  probably  take 
their  charges  direct  to  Detroit.  The  Clark  horses 
will  go  through  to  Read  vllle,  Mass.  They  will  start 
at  Saugus,  Me.,  and  other  New  England  meetings, 
avoiding  the  Detroit  and  Buffalo  meetings,  and  will 
start  on  the  Grand  Circuit  at  the  Hartford  meeting. 

The  Clark  string  is  not  exactly  in  the  best  condition 
just  at  present.  Mr.  Clark  has  had  any  number  of 
offers  from  horsemen  who  would  like  the  privilege  of 
using  Will  Clark,  his  green  trotter  for  a  year,  but  has 
received  no  offerB  that  look   good   to  bim.    If  some

Officers  Chosen. 


[American  Sportsman. ] 

No  man  is  better  known  to  the  horsemen  of  the 
oountry  than  the  pool  seller,  Frank  Herdic,  Mr. 
Herdic  was  quite  ill  this  winter,  and  not  long  ago  a 
Pennsylvania  horseman  brought  the  news  to  this  office 
that  he  had  suffered  a  relapse  and  would  hardly  re- 
cover. The  following  letter  from  Mr.  Herdic  explains 
itself: 

Williamsport,  Pa.,  June  22,  1905. 

American  Sportsman: — As  I  see  in  your  paper  I  had 
had  a  relapse  and  was  very  low,  I  drop  you  this  line 
to  let  you  see  I  am  very  much  alive  and  will  start  in 
next  month  at  Pittsburg  and  go  along  with  the  boys. 
Have  had  quite  a  race  and  am  lucky  to  get  a  heat,  but 
second  money  will  do  where  you  don't  want  a  record. 
Looks  as  though  we  might  have  some  races  at  that, 
and  Cleveland's  coming  back  in  the  ranks  again  looks 
like  old  time  sport.  I  expect  to  see  good  racing  where 
they  trot  horses  and  pace  them,  and  not  try  to  make 
running  horses  out  of  the  trotter  and  pacer.  The  more 
they  fuss  with  the  old  style  of  racing,  the  more  they 
0  it  off  the  revenue,  and  the  tracks  need  all  the  com- 
missions they  can  get  to  pay  out,  and  I  know  it.  But 
there  are  those  who  have  an  idea  and  are  always  ad- 
vancingopinions  when  it  don't  cost  them  a  cent— agri- 
tators  and  kickers,  saying  people  want  short  races  and 
quick  action  for  their  money.  I  never  saw  any  time 
in  my  life  where  a  man  could  win  $25  or  $50  or  more 
that  he  was  not  willing  to  stay  until  dark.  They  tried 
the  dash  system  at  Empire  City  and  Brighton  Beach 
last  year,  and  we  worked  as  hard  as  two  men  could — 
that's  Uncle  Bill  Riley  apd  self — and  could  simply  not 
do  25  per  cent  of  what  we  should  have  done.  The 
public  will  not  put  their  money  on  dashes,  for  if  they 
get  in  wrong  they  have  no  chance  to  get  out,  and 
what  they  can  do  to  books  is  good  and  plenty.  It 
opens  a  hoie,  and  there  you  are.  I  could  say  a  whole 
lot,  but  guess  I  will  let  thera  use  their  own  judgment. 
Truly  yours,        Frank  L.  Herdic. 

Gaiting  a  Saddle  Horse. 

An  expert  in  gaiting  horses  gives  the  following 
hints: 
"Always  select  the  gait  you  wish  to  go  and  make  the 
horse  take  it;  don't  allow  the  horse  to  decide.  Always 
go  into  the  other  gaits  from  the  flat  foot  walk.  Never 
let  your  horse  rush  away  when  first  mounted,  but  in- 
stead start  in  a  walk.  Do  not  keep  him  constantly  at 
one  gait,  but  change  quite  often,  otherwise  he  will 
soon  become  adapted  to  the  one  gait  in  which  you 
ride,  and  practically  lose  the  other  gaits. 

For  a  trot  slacken  the  reins  a  trifle,  and  steadily 
take  hold  of  the  mane  or  touch  the  neck  with  the 
right  hand,  and  at  the  same  time  rise  slightly  in  the 
saddle,  urging  on  the  horse  gently.  If  he  makes  a 
mistake,  and  mixes,  pull  him  back  to  a  walk  at  once, 
and  repeat  the  maneuver.  For  the  canter,  slacken 
the  reins,  incline  your  body  forward,  raise  your  right 
hand  as  if  to  salute,  and  cluck  to  the  horBe.  When 
he  starts,  take  sufficient  hold  of  the  reins  to  pull  in 
his  nose  and  make  him  arch  his  neck. 

Many  highly  trained  horses  will  go  into  a  canter  at 
the  mere  inclination  of  the  body.  For  a  rack,  or 
Bingle  foot,  tighten  the  reins  and  give  the  bit  a  num- 
ber of  almost  impreceptible  jerks,  at  the  same  time 
urge  him  on  with  voice  or  whip,  as  he  requires.  If 
you  feel  him  falter,  or  as  if  he  was  going  to  change 
into  another  gait,  slightly  shake  the  bit  and  urge  him 
on.  It  is  well  to  remember  that  this  last  gait  is  the 
hardest  of  all  on  the  hor6e;  for  this  reason  he  should 
not  ordinarily  be  asked  to  go  at  this  gait  for  more 
than  a  mile  without  change. 


Los  Angeles,  July  5. — At  a  meeting  of  the  stock- 
holders of  the  Los  Angeles  Jockey  club  to-day  the 
following  diredtors  were  chosen:  Epes  Randolph,  J 
J  Fay,  J  M  Hale,  W  R  Dunn,  George  Rose,  Thomas 
Fitzgerald  and  J  W  Brooks.  The  officers  chosen  for 
the  ensuing  year  are  as  follows:  Epes  Randolph, 
president;  J  J  Fay,  vice-president;  J  W.  Brooks, 
manager.  It  was  decided  to  open  the  winter  race 
meeting  on  Thanksgiving  Day.  J  W  Brooks,  who 
leaves  for  the  East  August  1,  states  that  the  outlook 
for  the  coming  season  is  the  most  promising  of  any 
yet  held  by  the  Ascot  organization. 

S.  Christianson  of  this  city  has  returned  from  his 
trip  to  Denver,  where  he  spent  a  week  attending  the 
Overland  Park  meeting.  He  says  he  saw  some  fine 
racing,  but  the  high  altitude  makes  horses  inconsist- 
ent, as  they  will  go  a  fast  race  one  day  and  be  all  out 
in  slower  time  at  their  next  start.  Mr.  Christianson 
speaks  in  the  highest  terms  of  the  Gentlemen's  Driv- 
ing Club,  of  which  he  was  a  guest  while  there.  It  has 
240  members,  fine  club  rooms,  and  is  very  prosperous. 
Its  matinee  racing  is  held  on  a  track  in  the  park,  and 
no  races  are  trotted  or  paced  for  money.  Mr.  C. 
brought  back  samples  of  this  club's  year  books,  sta- 
tionery, etc.,  to  show  the  members  of  the  new  driving 
club  which  is  being  organized  here  in  San  Francisco 


New  Track  at  Los  Alamos. 


Messrs.  J.  Doherty  and  E.  P.  Holloway  are  just 
oompleting  the  grading  of  a  new  five  furlong  track 
at  Los  Alamos,  Santa  Barbara  county.  It  is  located 
just  a  half  mile  southeast  of  the  town  and  is  pro- 
nounced by  all  the  horsemen  who  have  seen  it  an  ex- 
Oillent  track.  The  proprietors  propose  to  get  up 
some  colt  stakes  to  be  trotted  and  paced  in  the  fu- 
ture, and  will  give  meetings  with  such  purses  as  they 
can  afford.  There  is  much  interest  in  horse  breeding 
and  training  in  that  locality,  and  the  new  track  will  be 

popular  with  the  public.

Horses  Growing  More  Valuable. 

Horses  are  growing  more  valuable  every  day.    The  world's  sup- 
ply is  less  than  In  aDy  yearfor  a  decade.    The  theory  that  auto- 
mobiles, street  cars,  traotlon  engines  etc  would  In  lime  super- 
sede  the  horse  has  not   been  verllied.    Good  horses  are  higher 
to-day  than  ever.    This  should  put  breeders  una  horse  owners  in 
general  on  their  guard  to  protect  their  brcod  mares  and  colts 
against  all  forms  of  contagious  and  debilitating  diseases,  such  as 
distemper,  Influenza,  pinkeye,  shipping  fever,  etc     Pre' 
measures  should  be  adopted  In  all  oases.    Craft's  Liquid  Distem-

Good  Prospects  for  Fresno  Meeting. 

The  horsemen  of  FresDO  and  vicinity  are  doing  a 
lot  of  hustling  (or  the  meeting  there  July  19-22  and 
from  the  present  ou'.look  it  will  be  one  of  the  best 
weeks  of  racing  on  the  Coast  this  year.  The  follow- 
ing from  the  Fresno  Republican  tells  the  story  of  what 
is  goiDg  on  at  the  Raisin  City  track: 

A  great  deal  of  interest  is  being  taken  in  the  Fresno 
meeting  to  be  held  July  19-22  and  prospects  are  first 
class  for  a  week  of  goo  1  sport.  A  week  will  intervene 
between  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  and  the  Fresno  race 
goers  will  have  a  chance  to  see  the  campaigners  in 
their  work,  as  most  of  them  will  be  shipped  here 
about  next  Sunday. 

Any  lover  of  harness  horses  can  spend  several  in- 
teresting hours  any  morning  at  the  Fresno  Fair 
Grounds  track  watching  the  different  trainers  getting 
their  trotters  and  pacers  ready  for  the  races.  The 
Fresno  track  has  long  had  the  reputation  of  being 
one  of  the  fastest  tracks  in  the  country,  and  although 
interest  in  the  local  horse  business  has  not  been  as 
lively  in  the  past  few  years  as  it  might  have  been,  the 
track  is  as  good  as  it  ever  was  and  Fresno  may  yet 
regain  the  name  of  being  one  of  the  best  race  horse 
centers  on  the  Coast. 

There  are  now  about  fifty  head  of  horses  in 
training  here  and  of  these  the  best  work  this 
season  has  been  shown  by  the  dun  mare  The- 
donna  byAthadon  2:27,  owned  by  J.  M.  McKay,  of 
Fresno,  and  in  the  string  of  Schuyler  Walton.  This 
mare  was  purchased  as  a  two-year-old  for  less  than 
$100  from  Colonel  Hay,  and  has  been  trained  but  very 
little  until  this  year,  yet  she  has  shown  such  a  re- 
markable turn  of  speed  that  Monroe  Salisbury  offered 
$5000  for  her.  ThedoDna  has  never  started  in  a  race, 
but  recently  paced  a  mile  in  2:10!},  with  the  last  half 
in  1:02J,  and  good  judges  say  Bhe  will  surely  go  in  2:04. 

Another  one  in  Mr.  "Walton's  stable  that  will  race 
here  is  Geo.  L.  Warlow's  great  three-year-old  stallion 
Atbasham  that  earned  a  two-year-old  trotting  record 
last  season  of  2:20.  He  is  a  good-looking,  nice-made 
colt  by  Atbadon  2:27,  dam  Flora  Wickersham  by 
Jun'.o,  and  if  nothing  goes  wrong  with  him,  should 
develop  into  one  of  the  best  three-year-olds  of  the 
year.  Last  week  Athasham  trotted  a  work-out  mile 
in  2:184  pretty  handily  and  it  looks  as  if  a  mile  in  2:15 
would  be  easy  for  him. 

Others  in  Mr.  Walton's  stable  that  look  promising 
are  Mr.  Warlow's  two-year-old  colt  Stanford  Mc- 
Kinney by  McKinney,  dam  Avena  by  Palo  Alto  2:08|, 
Clara,  a  three-year-old  St.  Clair  colt,  owned  by  Louis 
Bachant  of  Fresno  that  has  raced  a  mile  in  2:221,  with 
a  half  in  1:083;  Mabel  C.  2:20J  by  Strathway,  owned 
by  Joe  Corey  of  Hanford;  the  pacing  mare  Babe, 
owned  by  Harry  Bernstein  of  Hanford  and  Teddy  J. 
and  Bobby  J.  both  owned  by  R.  B.  Parker,  which 
have  shown  ability  to  step  in  2:25. 

One  of  the  nicest  gaited  trotting  mares  at  the  track 
is  a  bay  daughter  of  Athadon,  owned  by  a  local  en- 
thusiast and  in  the  stable  of  Charley  Clark.  This 
mare  has  had  but  very  little  training  and  has  not 
beaten  2:20  in  her  work,  but  is  a  very  promising  mare 
and  will  be  heard  from  later.  Mr.  Clark  has  quite  a 
number  of  good  green  trotters  in  his  charge,  but  will 
not  have  anythnig  to  race  until  next  season. 

The  best  race  prospect  in  the  string  of  Charley 
Middleton  is  the  seven-year-old  bay  mare  by  Junio, 
out  of  Susie  Hall  by  El  Capitan.  She  has  been 
trained  but  little  and  ha6  never  been  asked  to  step  a 
fast  mile,  but  has  6hown  a  remarkable  turn  of  speed 
for  &  trotter  and  is  a  most  promising  prospect.  Mr 
Middleton  is  also  training  Louis  Bachant's  pacer 
George  2:18},  that  will  start  in  the  Fresno  Driving 
Club  race,  and  a  lot  of  green  prospects,  mostly  two 
and  three-year-olds.  Among  the  latter  Is  a  handsome 
three-year-old  by  Athablo,  dam  Daybreak,  owned  by 
L.  Stock  of  Fresno. 

Joe  Depoieter  is  training  a  number  of  good  green 
ones,  among  the  beBt  of  which  are  the  three  year-old 
colt  Guy  by  Guy  McKinney,  dam  by  Dexter  Prince 
and  Milton  Gear,  a  pacer  by  Harry  Gear,  dam  Lulu 
N.  by  Dawn.

Denver  Meeting. 

Two  harness  events  with  good  fields  were  on  the 
raolng  program  at  Overland  Park  Friday  alternoon. 
Martha  B.,  owned  by  J.  Fred  RobertB,  and  driven  by 
Harry  Bush,  won  the  2:11  paoe  in  straight  heats.  The 
fastest  time  was  2:00$,  made  in  the  first  heat. 

Dewey,  tho  winner  of  the  Yellowstone  trotting 
Btake,  took  the  2:30  trot  In  straight  heats,  the  fastest 
time  being  2:15},  in  tho  second  beat. 

In  the  first  heat  of  the  paoe  tbe  field  got  away  to 
the  eighth  in  :15}.  The  quarter  was  reached  in  :31}. 
When  the  balf  was  passed  In  1:03J.  the  enthusiasm  in 
the  stands  grow  marked.  Martha  B.  gave  evidenoe 
of  her  speed  qualities,  and  the  three-quarters  was 
reached  in  J:36  flat.  They  raoed  home,  covorlng  the 
mile  In  2:09}. 


The  second  heat   was  materially  slower.    The  six- 
teenth was  passed  in  :16,  the  quarter  in  .33,  the  half 
in  1:06,  and  the  three-quarters  in  1:40.    The  time  for 
the  mile  was  2:12$.    Thesummares:

But  one  harness  race  was  on  the  program  for  Satur- 
day, the  2:20  class  pace,  and  this  proved  a  very  tame 
affair  as  there  were  but  two  startere,  Geo.  Easter- 
brook's  mare  Florodora  greatly  outclassing  her 
opponent,  the  bay  horse  Foxy  Quiller,  own  brother  to 
the  champion  trotting  stallion  Cresceus,  although 
Foxy  Quiller  might  have  made  her  go  faster  had  he 
tried.  Loomis  evidently  thought  that  Ed  Geere' re- 
mark was  a  wise  one  when  he  said  that  many  a  good 
horse  is  ruined  trying  to  beat  one  that  is  known  to  be 
much  faster,  and  he  acted  accordingly.  The  sum- 
mary:

of  the  2:30  pace,  and  was  second  in  the  remaining 
heats,  thereby  getting  second  money.  Harold  D.,

San  Francisco  Driving  Club. 

The  races  of  the  San  Francisco  Driving  Club  at 
Ingleeide  track  drew  a  crowd  of  about  2000  people  on 
July  4th.  Four  harness  and  two  runningevents  made 
up  the  card.  Two  books  handled  the  coin  and  did  a 
thriving  trade.  The  purses  raced  for  amounted  to 
about  $150  in  each  case.  For  each  harness  event  the 
books  hung  up  $100  to  which  was  add.  cl  the  entrance 
fee  of  $10  for  each  horse.    The  results  were  as  follows:

The  last  outstanding  liability,  consisting  of  purses 
due  horsemen  and  other  minor  obligations,  will  be 
paid  within  the  next  fortnight.  The  total  indebted- 
ness amounts  to  less  than  $25,000,  and  the  appropria- 
tion which  became  available  July  1st,  is  more  than 
sufficient  to  settle  what  is  due. 

Over  one  hundred  men  and  seventy-five  teams  are 
now  engaged  in  grading  for  the  new  track  and  in 
laying  foundations  for  the  buildings. 

The  grading  on  the  track  was  finished  last  evening 
and  the  traok  is  now  ready  for  the  top  coat. 

Architect  M.  A.  Allen,  who  has  superintended  con 
Btruotion  of  Harlem,  Hawthorne,  Emeryville,  TanI 
foran  and  Ascot  Parks,  says  that  conditions  are  most 
favorable  for  securing  a  fast  track  at  the  new  park. 
The  soil,  he  says,  is  of  springy  oharacter,  a  mixture 
of  clay  and  loam  that  is  always  a  guarantee  of  speed 
upon  a  well-constructed  track. 


The  cross-grades  on  the  turns  are  so  constructed 
that  a  horse  rounding  them  at  a  two-minute  gait 
maintains  his  exact  equilibrium. 

The  premium  list  for  the  livestock  and  poultry 
exhibits  will  go  to  the  printer  in  a  few  daj 6.  It  will 
offer  about  $20,000  in  prizes. 

It  has  been  decided  to  give  three  running  races  each 
day,  the  smallest  purse  to  be  $200  and  the  average  to 
be  considerably  more. 

For  the  Stanford,  Occident  and  Stallion  Stakes,  in 
the  harness  events,  the  payments  have  been  as  numer- 
ous as  during  any  past  year,  and  tbe  directors  have

Charley  Herr  2:07. 

Charley  Herr  was  as  true,  as  honest,  as  game,  as 
reliable  and  as  mismanaged  a  trotter  as  ever  lived. 
No  horse  of  recent  years  has  ever  occupied  the  same 
place  in  public  esteem  as  this  remarkable  stallion,  and 
had  fortune  been  kind  enough  to  have  taken  from  his 
path  the  many  obstacles  that  where  strewn  in  his 
way  it  is  more  than  probable  that  his  list  of  victories 
would  have  been  doubled.  Charley  Herr  was  one  of 
the  very  few  absolutely  reliable  trotters  this  country 
has  ever  seen;  he  never  trotted  a  bad  race  when  he 
was  fit;  he  never  left  his  feet  except  when  an  accident 
befell  him;  he  tried  every  inch  of  the  journey,  and 
was  probably  driven  for  more  heats  than  any  trotter 
that  ever  lived  whose  campaign  was  no  longer  than 
his.  His  very  honesty  commanded  the  respeot  and 
admiration  of  every  lover  of  gameneBS  in  an  animal, 
and  the  honest  little  Irishman  who  owns  him  and  who 
should  have  reaped  a  rich  reward  through  the  owner- 
ship of  so  remarkable  a  horse,  waB  himself  in  this 
respect  an  example  for  all  horsemen.  Nearly  all  of 
Charley  Herr's  races  where  hard  battles,  and  in  each 
he  covered  himself  with  glory,  for  in  victory  or  defeat 
he  struggled  gamely  for  supremacy,  and  could  always 
be  depended  upon  to  stick  to  a  trot.  He  has  probably 
been  driven  from  "eend  to  eend"  more  frequently 
than  any  other  horse  in  turf  history,  and  has  gamely 
stood  enough  gruelling  and  severe  punishment  to 
have  put  an  end  to  any  other  horse.  Po66ibly  the 
most  sensational  race  in  his  career  was  the  one  in 
which  he  was  overcome  by  Cresceus  at  Readville,  and 
in  this  game  struggle  helOBt  only  by  the  narrowest  of 
margins.  It  will  be  remembered  that  in  the  first  two 
heats  he  was  returned  a  winner  and  loBt  the  third  by 
an  eyelash,  bo  close  in  fact  was  the  finish  that  none 
but  the  judges  could  -tell  which  of  the  two  stallions 
had  the  best  of  it  at  the  wiie. — Hawley  in  Ky.  Stock

The  Cart  Horse  Parade  in  London. 


The  London  Cart  Horse  Parade  recently  held  in  th>- 
British  metropolis  is  reported  to  have  been  one  grand 
success  from  end  to  end.  Never,  according  to  the  ad- 
vices we  have  received,  have  tbe  exhibits  been  of  such 
high  class  nor  yet  in  such  sup- rlative  condition.  It 
was  well  shown  that  the  man  who  first  conceived  the 
idea  of  the  parade  builded  better  than  he  knew.  The 
last  was  the  twentieth  parade  that  has  been  held  and 
about  1000  horses  and  nearly  as  many  drivers  were  in 
line.  Only  two  of  the  men  who  founded  the  parade 
were  present  on  this  last  occasion  and  these  were  Sir 
Walter  Gilbey  and  Mr.  Burdett  Coutts,  both  of  whom 
have  labored  early  and  late,  in  season  and  out,  for  the 
improvement  of  the  British  horse  and  the  ameliora- 
tion of  his  condition.  It  is  said  that  they  had  a  most 
handsome  reward.  Support  has  for  years  been  lent 
to  the  parade  by  both  the  Shire  and  Suffolk  pedigree 
record  associations,  the  Scottish  Clydesdale  society 
not  yet  having  taken  the  same  step  directly.  En- 
thusiastic indeed  are  some  of  the  accounts  so  far 
received  concerning  the  very  marked  improvement  in 
the  feet  and  bgs  of  the  draft  horses  now  to  be  seen  on 
the  London  streets  compared  to  what  they  were 
twenty  years  ago.  Not  only  that  but  year  after  year 
the  Bame  old  faces  are  to  be  seen  behind  the  same 
horses,  proving  that  the  encouragement  of  the  Lon- 
don Cart  Horse  Parade  is  redounding  not  alone  to 
the  amelioration  of  the  horses  but  to  the  benefit  of 
their  owners  as  well.  The  entry  this  year  consisted 
of  75  single-horse  two-wheeled  vehicles,  714  single* 
horse  four-wheeled  vehicles,  72  pairs  and  36  unicorns.

Notes  and  News,    m 

Hully  Gee!    But  they're  stepping  at  L09  ADgeles. 


If  the  owner  of  the  pacing  horse  Bob,  formerly 
owned  by  Robert  Burress  and  driven  by  William 
Brown  desires  to  sell  the  horse,  he  can  probably  And 
a  buyer  if  he  will  address  Holmes  &  Scott,  Fair 
Grounds,  Oregon,  stating  price  and  present  condition, 
and  whether  he  has  had  any  track  work  this  season. 


Six  new  2:10  performers  on  the  opening  day  of  the 
meeting. 

And  Zolook.  son  of  McKinney  reduces  his  record 
from  2:091  to  2:06.        

The  word  Buccess  is  being  written  all  over  the  ac- 
count of  the  first  meeting  held  by  the  Lob  Angeles 
Harness  HorBe  Association. 


Grace  Kaiser,  dam  of  Coney  2:02,  etc  ,  will  be  bred 
to  Ben  Liebes  2:17*,  the  big  son  of  McKinney  owned 
by  H.  L.  Prank. 

John  R  Conway  2:13,  winner  of  the  2:17  pace  at  Los 
Angeles,  is  another  new  member  of  Diablo's  rapidly 
growing  and  extensive  list  of  2:15  pacers. 


Ed  Malloy  haslet  Lou  Dillon  step  a  mile  in  2:15  since 
reaching  Cleveland,  and  Mr.  Billings  expectB  to  begin 
giving  her  some  faster  miles  from  now  on. 


State  Fair  entries  close  on  Monday  next,  July  10th. 
As  the  fast  records  made  at  Los  Angeles  will  be  a  bar 
at  Sacramento,  there  should  be  a  big  entry  list. 


Don't  forget  that  six  additional  purses  for  the 
Breeders  meeting  at  Fresno  will  close  Monday  next. 
Look  over  the  advertisement  Id  our  business  columns. 


Nutwood  Wilkes  gets  a  new  2:10  performer  in  Tidal 
Wave  2:09.  There  are  two  or  three  more  of  his  get 
that  should  get  into  the  extreme  Bpeed  list  this  year. 


Bob  Mason  Is  now  the  sire  of  three  2:10  performers, 
the  mare  Virginia  winner  of  the  second  heat  of  the 
2:27  class  pace  at  Los  Angsles  last  Monday  being  by 
that  horse.  

W.L.  Cadman,  of  Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  has  pur- 
chased from  E.  E.  Gray,  Hinsdale,  111.,  the  pacer 
Edgar  Boy  2:081,  by  Edgar  Wilkes,  dam  Clara,  by 
Gambodo.    Price  $2500. 


It  Is  said  that  no  meeting  will  be  given  at  Wood- 
land. This  is  too  bad  as  Woedland  has  one  of  the  fin- 
est tracks  In  the  State  and  large  orowds  always  attend 
the  meetings  held  there. 


With  Dr.  W.  2:08$,  Vision  2:091  and  Tidal  Wave 
2:09  out  of  the  2:13  class  pace,  the  $600  purse  for  that 
class  to  close  Monday  next  for  the  Breeders  Fresno 
meeting  should  get  a  big  list  of  entries. 


One  of  the  secrets  of  a  successful  trainer  is  a  suf- 
ficient knowledge  of  the  art  of  farriery  to  enable  him 
to  have  the  blacksmith  properly  shoe  and  balance  his 
horses.  Faulty  action  may  often  be  remedied  by 
proper  shoeing.  

Mr.  E.  C.  Peart,  of  Colusa,  who  is  advertising  an 
auction  sale  of  horses  in  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man writes:  "Your  paper  is  doing  me  good.  This 
mail  brings  me  letters  from  Fresno,  Merced,  Sacra- 
mento and  Oakland. " 

The  McKinneys  are  starting  out  this  year  winning 
races  and  reducing  records.  There  is  no  family  that 
trains  on  any  better  than  the  one  established  by  the 
greatest  son  of  Alcyone.  They  get  the  money  and  the 
records,  and  improve  with  age. 


Is  this  "tainted  money?"  The  owner  of  Florence 
Nightingale  2:151  regularly  donates  a  part  of  the  win- 
nings of  the  mare  to  the  Presbyterian  Home  Mission. 
On  this  account  the  mare  is  known  throughout  Ohio 
as  the  "Home  Missionary  mare." 


Helen  Keyes,  the  daughter  of  Sidney  Dillon,  will 
not  start  in  the  M.  &  M.  according  to  an  Eastern  re- 
port. She  may  not  be  raced  at  all  this  year,  Mr.  De 
Ryder  considering  her  too  valuable  a  mare  to  take  any 
chanceB  with  until  she  is  just  ready. 


Golden  Gate,  William  Brown's  pacer  by  Bay  Bird, 
won  the  first  heat  and  a  record  of  2:131  at  Denver 
on  Monday.  This  gelding  has  been  a  very  consistent 
performer  at  the  Denver  meeting  and  has  been  a  good 
money  winner  although  he  has  not  won  a  race. 


The  Helm  Stake,  which  is  a  free-for-all  pace,  will  be 
one  of  the  exciting  races  at  Fresno.  Zolock  2:06,  Ed- 
win S.  2:08,  Tern  Carneal  2:08$,  Kelly  Briggs  2:091  and 
Daedalion  2:10  are  the  entries  and  the  probability  is 
that  every  one  will  start.  Look  out  for  a  split-heat 
race  with  a  mile  In  2:05,  and  all  below  2:10. 


Dr.  De  Foe,  of  San  Jose,  has  two  colts  that  are  as 
well  bred  as  the  best  bred  ones  we  hear  so  much 
about.  One  is  a  three-year  old  by  Mendocino  2:19J, 
dam  Rose  McKinney  the  dam  of  Almaden  2:221.  The 
other  is  a  yearling  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16$,  dam 
Carrie  Malone,  own  sister  to  Charles  Derby  2:20. 
Those  two  colts  would  do  to  head  a  stock  farm,  breed- 
ing mares  by  one  to  the  other. 


On  the  first  day  of  the  Los  Angeles  meeting,  Walter 
Maben  drove  the  mare  Mamie  Elizabeth  by  Red 
Regent,  dam  by  Chimes,  a  mile  against  time  to  give 
her  a  record.  She  trotted  the  mile  in  2:211.  The 
next  day  she  was  started  in  the  2:17  class  trot  and  got 
second  money.  She  was  second  to  The  Commonwealth 
in  the  first  heat  of  this  race  in  2:151. 


William  Cecil  reached  Cleveland  safely  with  the  Mc- 
Kinney mare  Lady  Mowrv  2:28  and  a  three-year-old 
sister  to  her  that  he  Is  training.  Lady  Mowry  worked 
a  half  In  1:05$  at  San  Jose  before  she  was  shipped 
East  and  is  a  likely  2:10  performer. 


It  Is  announced  in  the  press  dispatches  from  the 
West  that  Japan  intends  to  send  several  representa- 
tives to  study  closely  the  horses  shown  at  the  Lewis 
and  Clark  Exposition  in  Portland  this  fall.  It  is  also 
stated  that  China  will  be  officially  represented  in  this 
regard.  Much  hope  is  held  out  that  the  Island  Em- 
pire may  make  large  purchases  of   breeding   animals. 


Nora  McKinney  2:12$,  regarded  by  many  horsemen 
as  the  finest  road  mare  ever  seen  in  New  York,  is  said 
to  have  gone  lame  in  her  work  a  few  day b  ago.  She 
trotted  faster  than  2:10  in  a  race  at  the  Empire  track 
last  season  and  won  many  brushes  on  the  Speedway. 
William  Simpson,  who  owns  her,  had  counted  on  a 
record  of  2:06  for  the  daughter  of  McKinney  this 
season.  

On  the  opening  day  of  the  Denver  meeting  in  the 
third  heat  of  the  2:30  pace,  the  pacing  mare,  Lady 
M.,  driven  by  Walter  Cummings  was  distanced. 
This  caused  Cummings  to  lose  his  temper,  and  when 
Henry  Dunlap  accidentally  got  in  his  way  as  the  horses 
were  all  being  pulled  up,  Cummings  struck  him 
across  the  face  with  his  whip.  The  judgeB  fined 
Cummings  $50. 

Mr.  L.  M.  Ladd,  of  Hollister,  haB  shipped  his  Palo 
Alto  bred  four-year  old  stallion  Monbello  to  S.  E. 
Kent  at  Los  Angeles  for  training.  Monbello  Is  by 
Monbells,  son  of  Electioneer  and  Beautiful  Bells,  and 
Is  out  of  the  great  broodmare  LauraC.  by  Electioneer, 
second  dam  the  thoroughbred  mare  Fannie  Lewis  by 
imported  Buckden.  Monbello  shows  a  great  turn  of 
speed,  and  is  a  most  promising  trotter. 


There  is  more  profit  or  at  leaBt  less  loss  to  men  who 
breed  horses  to  sell  a  five-year-old  for  $225  than  to 
keep  the  same  horse  until  he  is  ten  years  old  and  sell 
him  for  $700.  It  is  poor  economy  to  hold  for  high 
prices  until  they  eat  their  heads  off  several  times. 

On  the  opening  day  of  the  Lima,  Ohio,  meeting, 
June  27th,  the  Diablo  gelding  Pacific  King  by  Diablo, 
trained  by  Vance  Nuckols,  won  the  2:30  pace  after 
dropplDgtwo  heats.  In  the  fourth  heat  Pacific  King 
stepped  the  mile  in  2:151  and  could  have  gone  faster! 
The  same  day  Bogan  by  Bow  Bells  won  the  2:35  trot 
getting  a  record  of  2:191  and  Jack  Wilkes  by  Guy 
Wilkes  won  the  2:18  trot,  reducing  his  record  to  2:20$. 

The  Tom  Hal  family  of  pacers  has  flourished  in  the 
Blue  Grass  region  of  Kentucky  since  1859,  when  the 
founder  of  the  family  was  foaled.  The  offshootB  of 
this  family  have  found  their  way  into  many  States  of 
the  Union,  and  the  cross  of  the  family  occurs  in  a 
great  many  trotting  and  pacing  pedigrees.  It  is  said 
that  the  original  was  a  roan  horse  called  a  Canadian 
pacer,  and  that  he  was  taken  to  Lexington  from 
Philadelphia.  He  died  the  property  of  Benjamin  N. 
Shropshire,  Harrison,  Ky.  He  was  supposed  to  he 
the  grandsire  of  Tom  Hal. 


Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  will  hold  a  sale  of  fifty  head  of 
road  and  carriage  horses  at  1732  Market  street  on 
Monday,  July  24th.  The  larger  part  of  this  consign- 
ment is  from  the  Occidental  Land  and  Improvement 
Company  (Sharon  Estate),  Fresno,  and  contains  many 
handsome  horses  by  Jim  Monroe,  Teheran  and  other 
good  sires.  The  others  are  consigned  by  Mr.  C.  E. 
Needham,  of  Bellota,  and  are  a  very  fine  lot. 


Barondale  2:111,  'be  Iowa  stallion  that  Btood  at  San 
Jose  in  1903  and  1904,  had  seven  new  performers  last 
year,  and  the  way  his  get  are  stepping  this  year  over 
the  Iowa  tracks,  makes  it  look  as  If  as  many  more  new 
ones  would  be  added  to  his  list  this  year.  Many  Cali- 
fornia breeders  that  own  yearlings  and  sucklings  by 
Mr.  James'  horBe,  hope  he  will  bring  him  back  here, 
as  they  would  like  to  have  more  of  the  same  kind. 


At  the  i ecent  New  York  Driving  Club  matinee  the 
team  race  between  L.  A.  Burke's  West  Wilkes  and  El 
Moro  and  W.  M.  C.  Floyd-Jones'  King  Chimes  aDd 
Gov.  Holt,  was  the  best  race  of  its  kind  ever  seen  on 
the  Yonkers  track.  El  Moro  has  a  record  of  2:13$. 
He  is  by  Longworth  and  was  bred  by  the  late  A.  C. 
Deitz,  at  Ventura,  Cal.  El  Moro  was  owned  for  a 
time  by  Mr.  Graham  Babcock,  who  used  him  as  a 
pole  horse  with  Toggles  2:08$. 


The  2:09  class  pace  at  Santa  Rosa  should  prove  a 
hot  one.  The  entries  are  Zolock,  Kelly  Briggs,  Alone, 
Daedalion,  Queen  B.,  El  Diablo,  Tom  Carneal,  Rajah, 
Billy  Red,  Miss  Idaho  aDd  Reta  H.  On  his  Los 
Angeles  showing  Zolock  should  win,  but  if  he  is  not 
on  edge  there  are  three  or  four  horses  entered  that 
can  contest  the  heats  with  him  from  end  to  end.  It 
is  good  betting  that  the  track  record  of  2:06  made 
there  by  Clipper  in  19U0,  will  be  broken. 


The  two  fastest  heats  ever  paced  in  California  are 
to  the  record  of  "the  little  red  horse,"  John  R. 
Geotry.  Id  1899,  GeDtry,  Joe  Patcheo  and  Anaconda 
were  engaged  to  give  two  special  performances  at  the 
Los  Angeles  meeting.  One  was  od  the  opening  day  of 
the  meetiog,  October  21st,  the  other  od  the  cloBiDg 
day,  October  28th.  John  R.  Gentry  won  both  events 
in  straight  heats,  and  record  time  for  a  California 
track.  The  heats  on  the  opening  day  were  in  2:05  and 
2:04,  and  on  the  second  day  2:04^  and  2:031. 


The  program  of  the  Spokane  Inter-State  Fair  has 
been  issued.  It  provides  for  six  days  racing,  the  nice 
sum  of  $11,000  being  offered.  The  2:14  pace  and  2:16 
trot,  and  the  Spokane  Derby  and  the  Inter-State 
Relay  race  are  $1000  each.  There  are  several  $500 
purBeB  for  harness  horses,  and  purses  range  from  $150 
to  $500  for  the  over  night  running  events.  The  fair 
will  beheld  during  the  week  beginning  October  9th. 
Entries  close  August  15th.  Robt.  H.  Cosgrove  is 
Secretary  and  Manager. 

The  racing  at  Los  Angeles  is  as  good  as  they  have 
anywhere  and  it  is  on  the  old  three  in  five  system, 
with  auction  pools  and  mutuelB  as  the  only  means  of 
betting  and  big  crowdB  are  in  attendance  every  day. 
Some  of  the  turf  writers  who  are  always  crying  for 
Dew  methods  probably  imagine  that  the  meeting  could 
be  improved  if  there  were  a  dozen  or  so  bookmakers 
doing  busioess  and  the  raceB  were  on  the  two  in  three 
or  the  dash  system,  but  the  people  who  breed,  train 
and  own  trottere  and  pacers  don't  think  so. 


Mr.  A.  B.  Rodman,  of  Woodland,  has  received  many 
congratulations  over  the  winning  of  the  2:45  trot  at 
San  Jose  by  his  big  gelding  Patrose,  whoBe  record  of 
2:12$  made  in  third  heat  makes  him  the  first  new  2:15 
trotter  for  the  year  on  this  Coast.  Mr.  Rodman  not 
only  bred  Patty  Washington,  theldam  of  Patrose,  but 
he  also  bred  his  grandam  Patty  P.  by  Ricbmont. 
Patrose  started  four  times  last  year,  but  failed  to  win 
a  heat,  but  was  not  in  condition  at  any  time.  This 
year  he  Is  all  right,  and  never  lifted  his  nose  ODce 
during  the  race  which  he  won  at  Los  Angeles.  He 
should  trot  in  2:10  before  the  season  is  over. 


Australia  is  fast  becoming  a  market  for  the  Ameri- 
can trotter.  Charles  W.  Wright  of  Owensboro,  Ky., 
left  New  York  on  June  13  on  the  British  steamer  Breiz 
Huel  with  four  high  bred  ones  for  a  trip  of  16,000 
miles  of  ocean  travel  for  Melbourne,  Australia.  The 
four  animals  are  Countess  Todd  three-year-old  filly  by 
Todd  2:141,  Blondie  Grattan  four-year-old  filly  by 
Grattan  2:13,  Edna  Patch  five-year-old  mare  by  Dan 
Patch  1:56,  and  Beatrice  Master  six-year-old  mare  by 
Quartermaster  2:211.  Mr.  Wright  is  a  competent 
tutor,  as  he  has  driven  to  record  the  following:  Baby 
Ruth  2:061,  Parker  S.  2:06$,  Will  Kerr  2:07i,  Lord 
Clinton  2:08|  and  Henry  F.  2:091.  He  will  Instruct  the 
far  Southerners  how  to  traio  aod  race  the  American 
trotter.  

That  story  sent  out  from  Tulare  a  few  weeks  ago 
about  Geo.  W  Kirkham  of  that  city  seliiDg  a  glass 
eyed  pacer  for  $13  000  to  Geo.  A  Pounder  of  Los 
Angeles,  waa  a  pretty  hot  one,  and  while  it  was  at 
least  $10,000  to  big,  the  pacer  is  a  wonder  aDd  dem- 
onstrated it  last  Wednesday  at  Los  Angeles  when  he 
won  the  two  year-old  event  in  straight  heats,  paciDg 
the  first  mile  io  2:1&$,  doubtless  the  fastest  mile  ever 
paced  by  a  two-year-old  id  July.  Rockaway  is  the 
Dame  uuder  which  he  started  io  his  first  race,  but  he 
was  called  Little  Jim  by  his  breeder,  and  is  best  known 
by  that  name  in  Tulare  county.  He  has  two  "glass" 
eyes,  a  bald  face  and  three  white  legs  and  is  not  much 
for  beauty.  He  iB  a  pony  in  size,  but  when  he  starts 
pacing  has  two  minute  speed.  It  is  believed  that  with 
special  preparation  he  could  pace  a  half  in  one  minute 
before  he  gets  out  of  his  two-year-old  form.  He  was 
entered  in  both  the  two-year-old  and  three-year-old 
pacing  events  at  Los  Angeles. 


J.  M.  Johnson  of  Calais,  Me.,  has  bought  Ponkapoag 
the  breeding  farm  of  the  late  J.  M.  Forbes.  There  are 
one  hundred  and  sixty  acres  in  the  farm  and  the  price 
was  $60,000.  There  are  five  dwelliDg  houses  iocludiDg 
a  fine  mansion  house,  stabling  of  the  best  construction 
for  one  hundred  aDd  fifty  horses,  and  a  three-quarter 
mile  traek  It  lays  at  the  foot  of  Blue  Hill  on  its 
western  side  aDd  is  about  two  miles  from  the  Readville 
track.  Mr.  Johnson  owdb  a  large  farm  within  thecity 
limits  of  Calais,  Me.,  which  Is  provided  with  well  built 
large  barns  aod  a  half  mile  track.  He  aho  owoes  a 
farm  in  Andover,  Mass.,  situated  near  the  famous 
Hood  farm.  He  owned  the  great  race  aod  broodmare 
NaDcy  HaDks,  the  stallion  Lord  Roberts,  by  Arion 
2:07|,  dam  Nancy  Hanks,  aod  is  reputed  to  have  an 
interest  in  Todd  now  standing  in  Kentucky.  He  has  a 
stable  of  fifteen  horses  in  trainiog  at  Readville, another 
at  Calais,  Me.,  in  charge  of  Jesse  Humphreville,  and 
quite  a  lot  of  horses  on  his  Andover  farm.  The  cata- 
logue which  he  issued  last  spring  of  hiB  Calais  farm 
stock  cODtained  the  nameB  of  fifty  fine  horses,  all 
highly  bred.  

Senator  Stanford  used  to  think  that  when  he  got  a 
colt  that  could  trot,  sired  by  a  trottiDg  stallion  and 
out  of  a  thoroughbred  mare,  that  he  had  a  stock 
horse.  The  bay  colt  Electro,  foaled  April  22,  1903,  is 
one  of  this  sort.  He  is  by  Sutter  29069,  record  2:181, 
and  his  dam  is  the  grandly  bred  thoroughbred  mare 
Bucbu  by  Buchanan,  winner  of  the  Kentucky  Derby. 
Buchu's  pedigree  can  be  traced  through  a  dozen 
generations  io  the  American  Stud  Book,  where  she  iB 
registered.  Electro  is  owned  by  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart  o' 
Colusa,  who  bred  him,  and  will  be  sold  'with  the  others 
catalogued  for  the  sale  at  Colusa  August  9tb.  Id 
Electro  there  is  high  class  producing  blood  combined 
with  high  class  tace  winniDg  thoroughbred  blood,

CIRCUIT  OPENS  AT  LOS  ANGELES. 


Racine-  is  Best  Ever  Held  in  the  Southern  City  and 
Attendance  is  Large. 


Los  ANGELES,  July  3— With  flags  flying  every- 
where and  the  band  playing  "HomeAint  Nothin  Like 
This''  the  initial  meeting  of  the  new  L03  Angeles 
Driving  Club  and  incidentally  the  first  of  the  year  on 
the  Coast,  opened  at  Agricultural  Park  this  after- 
noon.   The  weather  was  a  trifle  hot  for  comfort  but  a 


safe  to  say  that  tbey  all  stayed  for  the  finish  as  it  was 
one  of  the  greatest  day's  racing  ever  seen  here  and  of 
variety  enough  to  suit  the  most  critical.  There  were 
three  regular  event6  and  two  unfinished  races  on  the 
card  and  each  one  of  them  furnished  something  worth 
seeing.    The  2:09  pace  was  naturally  looked  upon  as 


big  crowd  was  on  hand  just  the  same  and  was  treated     the  feature  of  the  afternoon  and  it  not  only  resulted 
to  a  creat  afternoon  of  sport  as  the   horses  raced  all    in  a  little  upset  for  the  talent,  but  also  in  the  fastest 


afternoon  and  only  one  of  the  three  races  was  com- 
pleted when  darkness  came.  The  meeting  looks  like 
a  winner  right  from  the  jump  and  already  many  old 
timers  have  begun  to  call  it  "the  best  meeting  ever 
held  on  the  Coast. "  The  track  was  in  good  condition 
as  the  time  will  indicate,  the  racing  was  keen  through- 
out and  there  was  a  general  run  of  enthusiasm  during 
the  entire  afternoon.  The  auction  pools  and  the  pari 
mutuels  were  well  patronized  aad  the  betting  promises 
to  be  lively  during  the  meeting.  The  judges  are  Capt- 
J.  C.  Newton,  Dr.  Win.  Dodge  and  C.  A.  Canfleld-,  the 
timers  are  Dr.  Ralph  Hagan,  J.  A.  Fairchild  and  C 
O.  Canfield  while  Chas.  Saddler  is  doing  the  starting. 
These  gentlemen  seem  to  have  the  situation  well  in 
hand  and  no  attempts  werenoticed  to  "juggle  with  the 
cards." 

The  first  race  was  the  Willard  Stimpson  Stake  for 
2:13  pacers  which  brought  out  a  field  of  seven  side- 
wheelers  .with  I.  C.  Mosher's  chestnut  horse  Tidal 
Wave  an  equal  choice  over  the  field.  They  were  sent 
away  for  the  first  heat  with  Doctor  W.  at  the  pole 
and  as  soon  as  the  word  was  given  Leggett  took  him 
out  in  front  at  a  merry  clip  and  beat  the  favorite  from 
wire  to  wire  in  2:081.  Old  Tidal  Wave  with  all  his 
rigging  was  out  for  business,  however,  and  after  trail- 
ing Dr.  W.  to  the  head  of  the  stretch  he  set  his  sails 
and  nosed  out  the  black  gelding  in  2:09.  All  this  time 
Fred  Ward  had  been  riding  in  the  ruck  pretty  easily 
with  the  brown  gelding  Vision  and  he  won  the  next 
two  heats  in  such  handy  fashion  that  he  looked  to 
have  the  race  at  his  mercy  but  Doctor  W.  came  back 
in  great  shape  this  trip  and  barely  nosed  him  out  after 
a  mile  in  2:11.  Then  the  race  was  postponed  on 
account  of  darkness. 

Seven  other  good  pacers  scored  down  for  the  word 
in  the  Christopher  Stake  for  the  2:27  class,  and  this 
race  demonstrated  among  other  things  that  the  Lob 
Angeles  matinee  horses  can  hold  their  own  with  the 
best  of  them,  as  after  a  very  fast  and  hard  five-heat 
race  the  winners  of  first  and  second  moneys  turned  up 
in  the  pacers  that  parade  in  the  amateur  event  when 
there  is  no  bigger  game  to  shoot  at.  C.  J.  Cleveland's 
handsome  little  mare  Virginia  by  Bob  Mason  was  the 
tip  of  the  wise  brigade  and  they  played  her  like  it 
was  all  over  but  cashing  the  tickets,  but  she  failed  to 
land  although  she  won  the  two  fastest  heats  in  the 
race  and  was  beaten  by  very  narrow  margins  in  the 
other  three.  The  winner  turned  up  in  Geo.  A. 
Pounder's  chestnut  gelding  Glen  by  Glenwood,  out  ol 
Nettle  by  Robt.  McGregor.  He  was  driven  in  good 
style  by  Will  Durfee  and  was  "there  or  thereabouts" 
in  each  of  the  five  heats.  Argyle  showed  flashes  ol 
speed  during  the  race  and  is  undoubtedly  a  pacer  of 
promise,  but  was  hardly  up  to  a  bruising  race  of  this 
kind.  The  other  (our  starters  caught  the  flag  before 
the  race  was  ended. 

M.  J.  Reams'  black  gelding  Oro  Belmont  was 
susposed  to  be  the  proper  caper  for  the  2:45  trot,  but 
Frank  Wright  had  a  little  surprise  party  up  his  sleeve 
and  won  the  only  heats  trotted  with  the  big  Falrose 
gelding,  Pal  Rose,  owned  by  A.  B.  Rodman  of  Wood- 
land. Pat  Rose  has  had  the  reputation  of  being  a 
little  erratic  in  his  work  but  he  did  not  lift  his  nose 
today  aad  both  of  the  beats  won  by  him  were  taken 
into  camp  pretty  handily.  Oro  Belmont  was  c'ose  up 
all  the  way  in  the  opening  heat  and  finished  second, 
but  went  to  a  break  in  the  second  and  tbe  place  went 
to  the  black  gelding  Charlie  T.  that  was  a  good  third 
in  the  first  heat.  Sam  Washington,  driving  Lady 
Gipsy,  had  a  collision  with  the  fence  in  tbe  first  heat 
but  neither  the  mare  or  her  driver  were  damaged  to 
any  extent  and  she  was  allowed  to  start  again.  The 
summaries:

race  of  the  year.  Frank  Wright's  brown  pacer, 
Kelly  Briggs,  has  been  working  some  sensational 
miles  here  recently,  and  the  wise  brigade  expected 
him  to  win  with  colors  flying,  but  they  got  in  wrong 
without  a  chance  to  hedge  as  the  race  resulted  in  a 
sensational  straight  victory  for  Ben  Davies'  handsome 
brown  McKinney  stallion,  Zolock,  who  carries  a  new 
record  of  2:06  as  a  result  of  his  hard  earned  victory. 
The  winner  drew  the  pole  for  the  first  heat  and  when 
Vet  Kent,  who  was  driving  him  owing  to  the  illness 
of  Henry  Delaney,  took  out  in  front  and  won  from 
wire  to  wire  in  2:10*,  the  talent  thought  little  of  it  as 
the  sidewheelers  behind  him  appeared  to  have  paced 
an  easy  mile,  and  Zolock  tickets  could  still  be  bad  at 
a  very  cheap  figure.  In  the  second  heat  they  went 
away  boiling,  and  this  time  Kelly  Briggs  raeed  head 
and  head  with  Zolock  to  the  half  in  1:03  and  to  the 
three-quarter  in  1:35,  and  the  wise  ones  figured  that 
this  was  about  as  far  as  Zolock  would  care  to  go  at  this 
clip,  but  instead  of  backing  up  he  came  on  faster  and 
beat  out  the  pacer  from  Woodland  with  something  to 
spare  in  2:06.  Le  Roi  and  Ira  both  caught  the  flag  in 
this  heat.  In  the  third  heat  Jonesa  Basler  tried  to 
turn  the  trick  where  Kelly  Briggs  had  failed  but  the 
effort  was  without  avail  as  Zolock  raced  them  on  even 
terms  to  the  three-quarter  in  1:36  and  then  left  them 
by  the  wayside  by  pacing  the  last  quarter  in  30* 
seconds,  finishing  out  the  mile  in  2:06 J.  Zolock 's  mile 
in  2:06  reduces  his  record  over  three  seconds  and  his 
two  miles  in  2:06*  and  2:06  sets  a  new  record  for  the 
Coast.  He  was  far  from  being  all  in  when  he  finished 
his  mile  in  2:06  and  could  probably  have  come  close  to 
the  2:05  mark  if  necessary.  At  any  rate,  Zolock  stock 
is  soaring  tonight. 

Another  good  thing  went  wrong  in  the  2:20  pace 
when  the  much  touted  green  pacer  Fearnot  was 
beaten  in  straight  heats  by  James  Long's  bay  mare 
Nellie  R.,  driven  by  John  Quinn.  Fearnot  is  said  to 
have  shown  some  of  the  fastest  work  ever  shown  here 
by  a  green  horse  and,  as  there  were  only  three  horses 
in  the  race,  was  supposed  to  be  in  a  soft  spot;  but  the 
Pleasanton  trained  mare  beat  him  to  it,  although  it 
was  necessary  for  her  to  pace  the  second  heat  in  2:10. 
The  first  half  of  this  mile  was  in  1:03  and  the  second 
quarter  was  in  31  seconds,  but  Nellie  R.  was  equal  to 
the  emergency  and  looks  like  a  2:05  mare. 

There  were  five  starters  in  the  2:11  trot,  and  after 
Ole  had  won  the  first  heat  in  2:10*,  distancing  H.  D.  B. 
and  Robizola,  he  had  rather  an  easy  thing  of  it  as 
neither  Briney  K.  nor  Lady  Madison  were  able  to 
give  him  much  of  a  race.  Walter  Maben  had  the  son  of 
Silas  Skinner  out  in  the  lead  from  wire  to  wire  in  each 
of  the  three  heats,  and  did  not  appear  to  be  in  diffi- 
culty in  any  of  them.  Briney  K.  took  second  money 
from  Lady  Madison. 

After  a  well-judged  drive  in  the  unfinished  pacing 
race  Fred  Ward  won  the  long  end  of  the  purse  with 
Vision  in  2:09|,  while  PatRose  finished  up  the  2:45 
trot  by  beating  Charlie  T.  and  Kinmont  after  a  great 
mile  in  2:12J.    The  summaries:

THIRD  DAY. 

Los  Angeles,  July  5. — Things  cooled  down  to  a 
normal  temperature  to-day  at  Agriculural  Park  and 
no  miles  in  2:10  or  better  were  seen,  but  the  racing 
was  good  just  the  same  and  every  event  furnished  a 
good  horse  race.  The  most  sensational  feature  of  the 
afternoon  was  the  great  performance  of  the  two-year- 
old  pacer  Rockaway  that  won  the  first  race  on  the 
card.  That  he  won  the  race  was  no  surprise,  as  he 
was  an  even  money  favorite  over  the  field,  but  the 
first  mile  was  paced  in  the  remarkably  fast  time  of 
2:15*,  which  is  a  performance  almost  unheard-of  for  a 
two-year-old  at  this  season  of  the  year,  and  is  a  good 
mark  for  the  baby  pacers  to  Bhoot  at  all  summer. 
There  were  only  four  starters  in  the  race,  and  when 
the  word  waB  given  for  the  first  heat  Rockaway  went 
out  to  the  front  by  himself  and  was  at  the  quarter  in 
:33J  and  the  half  in  1:07,  almost  a  dozen  lengths  in 
front  of  the  others.  Here  Sam  Hoy  commenced  to 
move  up  with  the  good  Diablo  colt  McFadyen,  and 
when  they  entered  the  homestretch  he  forced  Rocka- 
way to  a  mild  drive,  but  the  effort  was  useless  as  the 
latter  was  pacing  with  glenty  in  reserve,  and  it  looked 
like  he  could  have  paced  pretty  close  to  2:12.  Hoy 
tried  different  tactics  in  the  second  heat  and  sent 
McFadyen  after  the  winner  with  a  rush,  and  for  a 
time  it  looked  like  he  was  on  the  right  scent,  for 
Rockaway  made  a  break  going  around  the  first  turn 
and  for  a  second  seemed  in  difficulty.  He  soon  set- 
tled, however,  and  after  taking  the  others  to  the  half 
in  1:07  he  had  things  all  his  own  way  and  jogged 
home  an  easy  winner  in  2:19J.  McFadyen,  owned  by 
E.  D.  Dudley,  is  a  high-class  colt  and  paced  a  great 
race,  and  might  have  a  chance  to  trim  Rockaway 
later  in  the  season,  but  the  latter  was  too  much  for 
him  to-day  and  the  victory  was  a  clean  one.  Rocka- 
way is  a  son  of  Stoneway,  is  owned  by  the  local  horse- 
man Geo.  A.  Pounder,  and  was  driven  by  his  old 
trainer,  Jacob  Brolliar. 

The  2:17  trot  brought  out  a  field  of  five  and  it 
developed  into  a  hard  fought  and  interesting  contest. 
Will  Durfee's  Jupiter  B.  appeared  to  be  the  class  of 
the  race  and  waB  an  even  money  favorite  over  the 
field  in  the  auctions  before  the  first  heat.  He  won 
the  race  in  good  style,  but  the  big  Shadeland  Onward 
stallion,  The  Commonwealth,  had  him  stepping  his 
best  about  all  of  the  time  and  every  heat  was  a  hard 
one.  Jupiter  B.  drew  the  pole  and  when  the  word 
was  given  Durfee  took  him  out  in  front  and  was  lead- 
ing at  the  half  in  1:07*  by  quite  a  good  margin. 
Here  Lindsay  commenced  to  let  out  some  sail  with 
The  Commonwealth  and  as  they  swung  around  the 
second  turn  was  racing  head  and  head  with  the 
favorite.  As  they  came  down  the  stretch  both 
teamsters  were  driving  hard  and  it  appeared  to  he 
any  one's  race  up  to  within  one  hundred  yards  of  the 
wire  where  Jupiter  B.  went  to  a  break  and  The  Com- 
monwealth got  the  verdict  in  2:154;.  The  latter  made 
a  bobble  about  the  same  time  as  Jupiter  B.  went  into 
the  air,  but  was  on  his  stride  again  in  a  hurry  and 
reached  the  wire  first  by  over  a  length.  They  started 
on  the  second  heat  in  about  the  same  fashion  as  in 
the  first,  Durfee  having  taken  Jupiter  B.  out  in  front 
again,  with  The  Commonwealth  close  up.  They 
trotted  the  whole  mile  close  together  and  entered  the 
stretch  like  a  team,  but  Jupiter  B.  was  out  for  busi- 
ness this  time  and  won  the  heat  by  half  a  length  in 
2:13J.  The  third  heat  was  won  by  Jupiter  B.  in  about 
the  same  fashion  but  in  the  last  The  Commonwealth 
went  to  pieces  and  Durfee  had  no  trouble  in  winning 
in  2:16*  from  What  Is  It.  The  latter  was  third  the 
first  three  heats  and  second  in  the  fourth  and  trotted 
a  good  race  but  was  not  up  to  a  hard  race  of  this  sort. 
Zambra  and  Mamie  Elizabeth  showed  speed  in  spots 
but  botn  were  erratic. 

The  Charles  Derby  mare  Economizer  was  a  luke 
warrr  favorite  over  a  field  of  six  in  the  2:17  pace  but 
was  not  quite  equal  to  the  emergency  and  was  third 
in  the  summary  after  a  four  heat  race.  The  favorite 
was  right  out  in  front  when  the  word  was  given  and 
held  the  lead  until  they  turned  into  the  stretch  where 
Vet  Kent  came  alqng  with  Mistake  and  beat  him  at 
the  wire  in  2:13*.  In  the  second  heat  the  field  was 
pretty  well  bunched  to  the  three-q  uarters  and  it  looked 
like  a  toss  up  between  Mistake  and  Economizer  but 
neither  one  was  the  winner  as  Fred  Chadbourn  came 
along  with  a  nice  burst  of  speed  with  tbe  chestnut 
stallion  Jonn  R.  Conway  and  beat  them  both  easily  in 
2:13.  The  winner  of  this  race  had  things  all  his  own 
way  in  the  next  two  and  won  with  something  to  spare 
In  slow  time.    He  made  a  disastrous  break  in  the  last

FOURTH    DAY. 

"Dad"  Trefry  showed  up  a  high  class  three-year- 
old  by  McKinney  today,  but  after  winniDg  an  easy 
heat  with  him  in  2:17,  the  colt  made  a  disastrous  break 
fn  the  second  heat  and  was  distanced.  It  was  one  of 
those  unfortunate  occurrences  that  come  when  least 
expected.  KeDneth  C,  as  the  colt  is  called,  was  the 
favorite  and  it  looked  as  if  he  could  win  without  ex- 
tending himself  as  he  was  known  to  have  great  speed 
and  won  the  first  heat  handily.  He  is  out  of  the  dam 
of  the  pacer  Tom  Carneal  2:08$,  but  is  one  of  the  best 
gaited  three-year-olds  on  the  track.  After  his  break 
the  filly  Princess  Louise  by  McKinney's  9on  Coronado 
2:12J  went  on  and  won  in  straight  heats,  her  miles 
being  in  2:20,  2:19  and  2:21,  stamping  her  as  a  very 
high  class  filly.  She  is  the  first  of  the  get  of  Coronado 
to  start  and  is  owned  by  Mrs.  L.  J.  Hastings  of  Lob 
Angeles.  Herdam  is  a  mare  by  Woolsey,  own  brother 
to  Sunol  2:08}.  The  records  made  by  Kenneth  C.  and 
Princess  Louise  are  the  fastest  made  by  any  three- 
year-old  trotters  this  early  in  the  season  for  years, 
and  the  manner  in  which  the  fiily  finished  her  race 
showed  that  had  the  colt  kept  his  feet,  a  horse  race 
would  have  been  on  which  might  have  resulted  in  one 
or  both  being  in  the  2:15  list  when  it  was  ended. 

The  2:27  trot  was  second  on  the  program  and  strung 
out  to  five  heats,  all  being  trotted  within  a  second  of 
the  same  notch.  The  big  bay  gelding  Modoc  by 
Daly  took  the  fir9t  heat  in  2:19},  and  Old  Hickory,  a 
chestnut  gelding  by  Aeolus,  took  the  second  in  2:19, 
but  the  brown  gelding  Wildbell,  a  son  of  Wildnut  and 
the  once  champion  yearliDg  Bell  Bird,  owned  by  Capt. 
Ruhstaller  of  Sacramento,  came  on  and  won  the  next 
three  heats  in  2:18},  2:18$  and  2:19J.  Old  Hickory 
took  second  money  and  Modoc  third.  This  field  of 
horses  will  make  a  race  at  any  time  in  which  the  win- 
ner will  be  hard  to  pick  as  they  are  all  pretty  evenly 
matched. 

In  the  2:24  pace,  2:10  was  equalled  twice  by  the 
Bob  Mason  mare,  Virginia,  who  wonin  straight  heats, 
with  Glen,  who  beat  her  the  first  day,  a  good  second. 
Miss  Winn,  a  daughter  of  Demonio,  won  third  money, 
and  Bessie  Barnes  and  Argyle  were  shut  out  in  the 
last  heat.    The  summaries:

NOTES. 

Secretary  A.  W.  Brunar  is  to  be  complimented  upon 
the  up-to-date  and  thorough  manner  in  which  the 
meeting  is  being  managed  and  much  of  its  success  is 
due  to  his  faithful  efforts.  The  racing  is  started 
promptly,  there  are  no  delays  between  heats,  every- 
thing goes  on  in  a  business  like  manner  and  there  is  a 
completeness  about  the  whole  thing  that  is  commend- 
able. This  is  the  first  meeting  of  consequence  held 
here  in  some  time,  but  it  has  made  a  most  favorable 
impression  on  both  the  horseman  and  the  public  and 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  Los  Angeles  is  in  the  game  to 
Btay, 

The  trainers  from  the  north  are  beginning  to  real- 
ize that  the  horses  trained  in  Los  Angeles  are  pretty 
tough  propositions  and  that  miles  around  the  2:10 
mark  can  be  expected  any  time  they  score  for  the  ' 
word.  So  far  the  horses  trained  at  the  local  track 
have  won  the  lion's  share  of  the  money  and  it  is  rea- 


sonable to  expect  that  they  will  continue  to  do  so,  but 
the  trainers  from  the  northern  tracks  are  doing  very 
well  under  the  conditions  and  have  no  great  cause  for 
complaint. 

Chas.  Saddler  did  the  starting  on  Monday  but  since 
then  the  flag  has  been  handled  by  Capt.  J.  C.Newton. 
The  latter  has  been  very  successful  and  as  a  rule  he 
his  been  able  to  send  them  away  in  good  style  without 
any  delay. 

The  fields  have  been  rather  small  all  week  owing  to 
sickness  and  lame  horses  in  several  of  the  stables. 
The  racing,  however,  has  been  high  class  every  day 
and  makes  up  in  quality  what  is  lacking  in  quantity. 

The  2:13  pace  was  a  great  eye-opener  for  the  week 
and  was  a  race  that  will  long  be  remembered.  It  is 
not  often  that  the  first  three  heats  are  won  by  differ- 
ent horses  and  all  of  them  in  2:09}  or  better. 

The  two-year-old  pacer  Rockaway  that  won  the 
pacing  stake  on  Wednesday  and  earned  a  mark  of 
2:15}  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable  little  horses  one 
ever  saw,  not  only  because  of  his  wonderful  speed  but 
also  because  of  his  peculiar  markings  and  general 
makeup.  He  isn't  much  bigger  than  your  fist,  is  a 
light  sorrel,  with  a  coat  well  sprinkled  with  white, 
has  three  legs  that  are  white  to  the  hock,  a  blaze  face 
and  two  glass  eyes.  You  can  imagine  that  he  wears 
the  hopples  when  ready  for  busine^s.  This  is  the  horse 
that  created  quite  a  little  talk  this  spring  when  he 
was  called  Little  Jim  and  was  purchased  by  his  present 
o  vner  Geo.  A.  Pounder  from  Jacob  Brolier,  at  a  price 
that  ran  away  up  into  the  thousands.  He  was  started 
once  as  a  yearling  at  Tulare  when  he  won  a  half  mile 


ZOI-OCK    2:06— Winner  of  3:09  Pace 

heat  race  in  1:12  and  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the  fastest 
youngsters  since  the  days  of  Directly  for  since  coming 
to  the  local  track  he  has  shown  a  half  in  1:02  and  a 
quarter  in  30  seconds  and  the  limit  of  his  speed  is  not 
known.  He  is  by  Stoneway,  son  of  Strathway  and  his 
dam  was  a  mare  always  used  on  the  road  and  whose 
breeding  is  not  known. 

The  boys  are  still  talking  about  Zolock  2:06  and  the 
great  race  he  won  the  other  day  and  it  goes  without 
saying  that  it  was  one  of  the  greatest  races  ever  seen 
on  the  Coast,  and  it  might  be  that  if  the  son  of  Mc- 
Kinney and  Gazelle  was  tuned  up  for  a  trip  against 
the  watch  he  might  step  a  mile  right  close  to  the  two 
minute  mark.  He  has  been  in  the  stud  regularly  up 
to  a  month  ago  and  within  the  past  two  weeks  has 
served  a  half  dozen  mares,  so  his  two  heats  in  2:06  and 
2:06J  under  the  circumstances  make  him  look  pretty 
good.  He  raced  in  hopples  for  the  first  time  the  other 
day  and  although  Henry  Delaney  did  not  drive  him  it 
proved  that  he  knew  what  he  was  talking  about  when 
he  said  that  all  Zolock  needed  to  be  a  2:04  horse  was 
the  straps. 

Walter  Maben  gave  the  boys  a  little  treat  on 
Wednesday  morning  by  stepping  Mr.  Canfield's  black 
pacing  gelding,  Highball  2:08J  by  Silkwood  2:07,  a 
mile  in  2:06$.  Highball  was  not  entered  here  in  any 
of  the  regular  events  but  a  special  free-for-all  has  been 
substituted  for  the  two-year-old  trot  and  Highball 
will  probably  be  seen  in  this.  A  mile  this  fast  was 
hardly  expected  of  him,  but  he  did  it  well  within  him- 
self and  paced  each  of  the  quarters  at  about  the  same 
rate  of  speed.  He  is  a  level  headed,  good  mannered 
horse  and  should  give  a  good  account  of  himself  if  he 
starts  with  the  free-for-allers. 

It  is  not  often  that  a  horse  takes  to  the  hopples  as 
easily  as  did  John  R.  Conway  2:13.  Fred  Chadbourne 
trained  him  all  spring  at  Pleasanton  without  thinking 
of  the  straps  and  he  was  working  easy  miles  in  2:12 
and  was  considered  a  right  good  prospect  but  his 
showing  in  the  2:27  pace  on  Monday  was  so  bad  that 
his  trainer  concluded  that  he  was  either  sick  or  full 
of  the  devil.  He  was  entered  on  Wednesday  and  as 
he  appeared  to  be  in  good  shape  it  was  decided  to 
start  him,  also  to  race  him  in  hopples  and  he  was 
given  his  first  warm  up  in  pajamas  about  twenty 
minutes  before  the  race.  This  seemed  to  be  about 
what  he  wanted  as  he  won  the  race  handily  and 
could  have  stepped  faster  than  was  asked  of  him.

Aids  to  Action  in  Horses. 

About  this  time  of  the  year  horses  with  high  action 
are  always  in  keen  demand.  This  is  true  of  all  seasons 
of  the  twelve-month,  but  just  before  the  advent  of 
warm  pleasant  weather  there  is  always  a  l.ttle  more 
urgency  to  the  inquiry  than  at  other  times  of  the 
season.  This  naturally  draws  attention  to  the  high- 
stepper  in  a  more  than  ordinarily  pointed  manner 
and  as  a  result  we  receive  letters  asking  how  horses 
may  be  made  to  lift  knees  and  hocks  higher  and 
generally,  in  a  word,  "how  to  improve  their  action." 
This  is  a  hard  proposition.  Time  and  again  we  have 
detailed  the  most  usual  methods,  such  as  the  posts 
laid  on  the  ground  and  over  which  the  horse  is  led, 
being  forced  in  that  manner  to  raise  his  knees  and 
hocks  away  up  in  order  to  get  his  feet  over  the 
obstacles.  The  ditch  full  of  some  yielding  footing 
and  other  contrivances  have  also  been  described  in 
reply  to  inquiries  of  this  sort.  We  doubt  if  very  much 
has  ever  been  accomplished  by  an  inexperienced  man 
attempting  amelioration  of  action   by   such   methods. 

Action  is  a  hard  thing  to  make.  Dr.  Grenside  has 
told  readers  of  this  journal  in  good  set  terms  how 
essential  to  the  development  of  action  a  good  mouth 
is.  Without  a  really  responsive  mouth  a  horse  will 
never  show  the  highest  class  of  .action  in  front  or 
behind.  A  horse  that  has  too  soft  a  mouth  will  never 
go  up  on  the  bit  enough  to  get  the  proper  amount  of 
headway  on,  while  the  horse  that  pulls  hard  gets  too 
much  headway  on  and  is  not  under  proper  control. 
Hence  it  will  be  seen  that  the  making  of  action  in  a 
horse  begins  at  least  with  his  breaking  and  while  it  is 
true  that  something  can  be  done  later  to  make  a  horse 
go  higher  in  front,  it  is  an  uphill  job,  unless  the 
breaking  has  been  properly  accomplished  from  its 
initial  stages.  Therefore  those  who  are  seeking  to 
breed  high-priced  carriage  horses  must  never  lose 
sight  of  this  fact.  If  they  let  their  horses'  mouths  be 
ruined  at  the  start  they  have  lost  half  or  rather  more 
than  half  of  the  battle. 

Naturally  this  immense  call  for  high-acting  horses 
has  caused  many  inventions  to  be  exploited  as  just  the 
thing  to  make  horse9  go  right.  Various  sorts  of 
hopples,  some  with  springs  and  some  with  rubb.r 
pulleys,  all  designed  to  make  the  horse  bend  his  legs 
fore  and  aft  sharply  at  knee  and  hock,  have  been  on 
the  market,  but  none  have  ever  gained  any  permanent 
sale.  In  the  very  nature  of  things  rubber  and  springs 
can  only  aid  the  horse  to  jerk  his  feet  up  and  then 
slam  the'm  down  again  on  the  ground,  and  that  is  no 
sort  of  action  at  all  as  action  really  is.  Genuine  high 
action  of  the  typical  sort  is  seen  when  the  horse  raises 
his  front  foot  off  the  ground  gracefully,  brings  it  up 
high  with  a  wide  bend  and  then  sets  it  forward  and 
downward  as  though  following  the  rim  of  a  rolling 
wheel.  That  is  about  as  unlike  the  jerky  action 
described  as  it  can  be,  and  the  judges  nowadays  give 
due  weight  to  the  possession  of  the  right  movement. 
Behind  the  hocks  should  be  sharply  flexed,  carried 
close  together,  raised  up  high  and  then  the  foot  set 
forward  squarely  beneath  the  body  without  any  twist- 
ing inward  or  scythelike  outward  sweep. 

In  order  to  obtain  this  sort  of  action  it  is  necessary 
to  breed  for  it,  not  try  to  make  it.  Those  who  are 
essaying  to  produce  carriage  horses  should  see  to  it 
that  they  use  in  the  stud  only  stallions  possessingsuch 
action  and  perfect  balance  of  conformation.  A  horse 
may  have  a  star-gazing  way  of  going  and  threw  bis 
front  feet  away  up  into  the  air  and  yet  be  far  from 
commanding  a  high  price,  simply  because  he  lacks 
balance.  He  never  can  be  taught  to  do  anything  with 
hocks,  for  the  same  reason  that  he  is  all  in  front.  The 
horse  that  goes  high  in  front  is  better  than  the  one 
that  goes  not  at  all,  but  the  aim  of  the  breeder  should 
be  to  get  all  the  money,  so  to  speak,  and  not  only 
part  of  it.  Hence  the  well  balanced  stallion  ia  the  one 
to  buy.  If  he  can  go  well  fore  and  aft  and  has  the 
typical  conformation  he  is  worthy  paying  a  lot  of 
money  for,  and  will  surely  do  hie  owner  good.  Then 
if  the  colts  by  such  a  sire  are  properly  broken  their 
natural  bent  will  suffice  admirably  to  produce  the 
action  and  contrivances  of  one  kind  and  another  will 
not  be  required.  There  is  no  short  cut  to  the  pro- 
duction of  high-clas6  carriage  horses  with  the  right 
kind  of  action.  The  way  to  get  them  is  to  breed  for 
them  from  well  selected  parents,  not  to  take  animals 
bred  for  some  other  purpose  and  then  try  by  means 
of  ingenious  devices  to  transmogrify  thtm  into  the 
semblance  of  the  real  article.  The  futility  of  the 
latter  practice  was  well  brought  out  at  all  the  great 
horse  shows  of  America  the  last  two  seasons. —

and  could  not  in  any  way  affect  the  standing  of  a

COLLIE    NOTES. 

Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels  of  Spokane  sold  Ch.  Bo 
Peep,  a  grand  brood  bitch  and  a  good  producing  dam. 
to  J.  S.  Klober,  of  Green  River. 

Mr.  Griffith  advises  us  that  he  has  for  sale  a  list  of 
the  best  Btud  dogs,  brood  bitches  and  best  bred 
puppies  in  the  West  today.  It  will  pay  Collie  fanciers 
to  write  for  a  descriptive  circular. 


TAPE    OB    SPECIE? 

Cash  prizes  or  ribbons  is  a  vexed  question  with 
many  exhibitors  on  the  Atlantic  side  of  the  plantation 
and  the  argument  is  having  a  lively  flailing  out  by 
the  scribes,  and  fanciers  who  like  to  write  to  the 
papers.  As  to  the  merits  of  the  case  in  the  East,  we 
are  not  prepared  to  say,  circumstances  and  conditions 
there  being  beyond  our  sphere  of  observation.  The 
champions,  under  both  the  silk  and  specie  banners, 
are  having  their  say,  with  the  honors  about  even. 

The  matter  came  up  on  the  Coast  when  the  S.  F  K. 
C.  first  decided  to  change  the  routine  and  award  rib- 
bons and  medals  instead  of  coin.  There  was,  of 
course,  some  opposition  and  much  comment,  but  now 
the  counter  product  has  evidently  come  to  stay,  for 
this  precedent  has  been  religiously  followed  by  about 
all  of  the  Coast  shows  and  seems  to  work,  now, 
harmoniously. 

One  point  made  by  an  Eastern  writer  and  one  whom 
we  believe  most  thoroughly  understands  dog  shows 
and  all  that  pertains  to  the  fancy,  is  that  "Ribbon 
shows  are  the  happy  medium  through  which  a  pleas- 
ant chance  to  win  a  few  honors  is  afforded  that  would 
not  be  possible  in  the  money  shows  where  the  big 
kennelB  and  professionals  sweep  down  and  gobble  up 
all  the  grist,  which  of  course  they  have  a  perfect  right 
to  do,  and  by  the  same  token  the  other  exhibitor  has 
a  perfect  right  to  show  for  a  ribbon.  A  lot  of  fellows 
who  cry  out  about  shows  doing  this,  that  and  the 
other,  for  exhibitors  who  do  not  help  them  out  when 
they  get  in  a  hole,  at  least  very  few  of  them  do,  have 
very  little  idea  of  the  expense  and  risk  of  even  a  rib- 
bon show,  and  especially  is  that  risk  great  whe»  the 
show  is  held  in  some  country  place  where  the  gate  has 
to  be  guaged  with  a  microscope." 

Shows  shall  not  die :    For 

ribbon  prizes  !    Nay : 
The  Kennel  Club  goes  to't,  and 
the  small,  gilded  specialty 
clubs 
Does  lecher  in  my  sight. 
Let  ribbon  shows  thrive 

Yea,  let  ribbon  shows  prosper,  for  many  good 
reasons,  among  these  we  might  urge  the  one,  that  if 
ribbon  shows  will  help  to  cut  down  show  expenses 
there  might  then  accrue  a  fund  for  one  legitimate 
expense,  and  we  would  thus  avoid  the  unpleasant  duty 
of  respectfully  declining  the  contribution  of  requested 
gratuitous  advertising. 


The  dove  season  opened  on  July  1st  and  closes 
February  15th  next.  Such  la  the  State  law,  but  this 
open  season  has  been  abridged  Id  many  counties,  among 
them  Santa  Clara,  Yuba  and  Placer,  where  the  open 
season  begins  August  1st. 


A.    K.    C.    CLASSIFICATION. 

The  Slud  Book  Committee  recommended  the  follow- 
ing divisions  of  breeds  to  the  last  A.  K.  C.  quarterly 
meeting  which  suggestion  was  adopted  and  the  recog- 
nized breeds  of  dogs  are  now  known  as  sporting,  non- 
sporting  and  Terriers. 

Regarding  the  division  of  breeds  into  Bporting  and 
noa-sporting  divisions  the  Committee  wasof  the  opin- 
ion that  il  they  are  so  divided  the  recommendation  of 
allotment  be  the  following: 

Sporting:  Chesapeake  Bay,  Bloodhounds,  Otter 
Hounds,  Foxhounds,  Harriers,  Beagles,  Basset 
Hounds,  Dachshunde,  Greyhounds,  Deerhounds  Rus- 
sian Wolfhounds,  Irish  Wolfhounds,  Setters,  Retriev- 
erB,  Irish  Water  Spaniels,  Water  other  than  Irish 
Spaniels,  Clumber  Spaniels,  Sussex,  Spaniels,  Field 
Spaniels,  Cocker  Spaniels,  Pointers,  Fox  Terriers, 
Irish  Terriers,  Scottish  Terriers,  Welsh  Terriers, 
Dandie  Dinmont  Terriers,  Skye  Terriers,  Airedale 
Terriers,  Bedlington  Terriers,  Whippets. 

Non-Sporting:  French  Bulldogs,  Bulldogs,  Mastiffs, 
Great  Danes,  Newfoundlands,  St.  Bernards,  Collies, 
Old  English  Sheepdogs,  Dalmatians,  Poodles,  Bull 
Terriers,  Black  and  Tan  Terriers,  Toy  Spaniels  (as 
separately  divided),  Japanese  Spaniels,  Pekinese 
Spaniels,  Yorkshire  Terriers,  Maltese  Terriers,  Italian 
Greyhounds.  Chow  Chows,  Pomeranians,  Pugs,  Schip- 
perkes,  Griffons  Bruxellois,  Boston  Terriers,  Chihua- 
huas, Foreign  Dogs. 

''Your  Committee  desires  theassociation  to  consider 
the  Bdvieability  of  dividing  the  breeds  into  three  sec- 
tions, as  follows:  sporting,  non-sporting  and  Terriers, 
believing  that  such  a  division  might  facilitate  the 
judging  of  special  prizes,  which  is  the  cause  of  thiB 
matter  having  been  referred  to  the  Committee. 

It  would  make  fewer  and   more  equal  contestants 


In  the  June  issue  of  the  Kennel  Gazette,  the  frontis- 
piece is  a  half  tone  picture  of  the  Bulldog  Ch.  Felton 
Prince.  The  picture  is  a  grand  illustration  of  type 
and  an  object  leBSon  in  one  respect.  The  dog  is  well 
spread  at  the  shoulders  and  has  sturdy,  almost 
straight  forearms  in  contradistinction  to  some  low- 
legged  cripples  that  pass  current  for  the  upper  crust 
in  the  breed. 

Dalmatians,  notwithstanding  the  comparative  scar- 
city of  good  ones,  are  in  demand  on  the  Coast  We 
refer  our  readers  to  the  announcement  of  Mr.  Buck, 
of  Sutter  Creek,  which  appears  on  page  15  of  thiB 
issue.

Kennel  Suggestions. 

There  has  been  a  good  deal  said  of  late  about  kero- 
sene and  salt  as  a  cure  for  follicular  mange  and  those 
obstinate  skin  diseases  that  sometimes  visit  the  best 
of  regulated  kennels.  Several  instances  were  first 
given  in  the  English  papers  of  the  efficacy  of  this  v  ery 
simple  remedy,  and  we  are  in  a  position  to  add  our 
mite. 

Some  time  ago  a  Cocker  Spaniel  was  afflicted  with 
what  seemed  like  blood  poisoning.  The  lips  and  legs 
and  head  swelled  to  abnormal  size;  great  bulbs  of  soft 
mattery  stuff  formed  on  the  sides,  the  shoulders  and 
legs;  looked  like  puff  balls,  and  when  pressed  would 
exude  a  bloody  matter;  on  some  parts  of  the  body 
dark  blue  spots  would  appear  and  on  these  being 
pressed,  thin  blood  would  spurt  out,  sometimes  to  the 
distance  of  a  yard.  The  legs  swelled  out  of  all  shape 
and  were  corrugated  like  an  elephant's  hide.  At  one 
time  the  flesh  around. the  shoulders  and  neck  took  on 
the  appearance  of  the  rough  part  of  an  alligator's 
hide.  The  bair  fell  out  in  most  of  the  affected  parts 
but  not  in  the  others,  although  the  dog  was  finally 
almost  denuded  of  hair  The  animal  suffered  a  lot  of 
pain.  The  eyes  became  affected.  Every  handy  remedy 
that  had  proved  efficacious  on  ordinary  cases  of  skin 
diseases  was  tried,  but  without  result  and  in  most 
cases  seemingly  made  the  dog  worse.  The  skin  at 
times  burnt  like  fire,  and  was  very  red. 

Finally  the  kerosene  and  salt  was  tried.  Two  table- 
spoonsful  of  salt  being  put  to  the  pint  of  kerosene. 
The  salt  is  not  soluble  in  the  oil  so  we  cannot  see 
where  it  is  of  any  benefit  except  perhapB  as  a  cleanser. 
However,  after  twoapplications(the  first  being  a  very 
weak  solution)  the  swelling  began  to  subside,  and  the 
dog  to  liven  up,  and  continued  to  do  so  for  two  days, 
when  the  animal  was  washed  in  a  hot  bath.  Some 
remains  of  the  original  trouble  being  Btill  visible  the 
dog  was  done  over  again  with  the  kerosene  mixture, 
and  this  left  on  for  a  day,  when  after  another  hot  bath, 
the  dog's  skin  began  to  peel  off  in  scales  leaving  the 
surface  as  smooth  as  a  glove. 

All  swelling's  disappeared,  the  legs  and  head  assumed 
their  natural  form,  appetite  picked  up  and  the  dog 
began  to  take  an  interest  in  life  once  more,  and  is  al- 
most as  lively  as  ever,  and  moreover,  the  hair  is  be- 
ginning to  come  in  again  and  everything  looks  as  if  in 
a  month  or  two  the  Cocker,  will  be  as  well  as  before. 
Th'B  was  the  worst  case  of  three,  though  all  were 
afflicted  with  exactly  the  same  conditions.  They 
were  taken  down  very  suddenly.  They  had  been  run- 
ning with  several  other  puppies  that  have  not  been 
affected.  Their  quarters  and  feed  and  care  have  been 
of  the  very  best,  and  the  only  way  to  account  for  the 
trouble  is  that  when  a  neighboring  field  was  spread 
with  manure,  they  ate  a  couple  of  little  puppies  that 
had  been  thrown  into  the  manure  during  the  winter. 
This  is  not  known  as  a  fact  but  is  presumed. 

The  other  puppies,  brothers  and  sisters,  have  bad 
no  troubles.  Here  is  a  case  that  is  pertinent  to  the 
discussion  aB  to  the  efficacy  of  this  kerosene  treat- 
ment and  which  we  can  personally  vouch  for  We 
might  say  that  with  the  idea  of  avoiding  blistering 
the  skin,  the  3-st  time  the  kerosene  was  applied  it 
was  diluted  with  water,  but  that  subsequently  when 
it  was  found  that  this  did  not  take  hold  as  expected 
the  full  strength  was  applied  with  no  blistering  effects. 
In  another  case  6f  obstinate  skin  disease  that  had  re- 
sisted all  the  ordinary  treatments,  two  or  three  appli- 
cations of  the  oil  brought  out  a  splendid  coat  with  no 
recurrence  of  the  trouble.  The  coat  does  not  6eem  to 
be  damaged  in  any  particular,  in  fact  the  coat  is  im- 
proved. The  low  cost  of  the  remedy  brings  it  within 
the  reach  of  all.  Particular  care  must  be  taken  after 
the  oil  is  applied  that  the  dog  is  kept  quite  warm  and 
free  from  draughtB,  or  salivation  may  set  in  and  all 
sorts  of  complications  ensue  that  generally  end  in 
death. — The  American  Stock-Keeper.

Big  Basin  Road  Project. 

The  importance  of  a  direct  road  into  the  Big  Basin 
3ark  from  the  Santa  Clara  Valley,  San  Jose  being 
,he  initial  starting  point,  is  felt  to  he  an  urgent  neces- 
lity.  The  construction  of  a  broad  boulevard,  from 
;he  valley  to  the  park,  that  will  always  be  open  to 
.earns  and  automobiles,  by  the  most  direct  route,  is  a 
jroject  now  in  the  hands  of  a  joint  oommittee  com- 
posed of  representatives  of  the  Sempervirens  Club, 
Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West,  and  Santa  Clara 
bounty  Pioneers.  An  appeal  has  been  promulgated 
n  the  name  of  these  worthy  associations,  to  the  people 
jf  this  State,  to  build  this  much  needed  highway  by 
public  subscription. 

So  well  has  the  movement  been  received  thus  far 
that  severaliodividualsubscriptlonsof  $500  each  have 
been  received.

scriptive letter  together  with  subscription  blanks 
which  are  being  mailed  to  many  individuals  with 
the  request  for  a  donation  for  the  laudable  purpose 
explained. 

There  has  been  a  ready  response  in  nearly  every 
instance.  A  letter  of  inquiry  addressed  to  Mr.  Arthur 
M.  Free,  Chairman,  or  iu-fact,  any  of  the  above  named 
committee,  will  meet  with  prompt  attention.  We 
recommend  the  enterprise  to  all  of  our  readers  who 
are  interested  in  the  development  of  this  State  to  help 
make  accessible  this  great  natural  attraction.  The 
early  completion  of  this  road  will  make  the  Big  Basin 
easily  reached  by  a  drive  of  about  seventeen  miles 
from  the  Santa  Clara  valley — from  Saratoga  Summit 
to  the  Park;  a  road  open  at  all  times  and  thus  making 
the  Park  accessible  to  the  whole  State 

The  State  Redwood  Park  (Big  Basin)  and  its  Plio- 
cene forests,  lying  in  the  Santa  Cruz  mountains  ten 
miles  in  an  air  line  from  the  Santa  Clara  Valley,  forty 
miles  south  of  San  Francisco,  seventeen  miles  north- 
west from  Santa  Cruz,  five  miles  distant  from  the  sea, 
nineteen  miles  southwest  of  San  Jose  and  ten  miles  by 
road  from  Boulder  Creek,  is  a  feature  unique  among 
California's  marvels. 

It  is  one  of  the  few  spots  that,  owing  to  its  peculiar 
geographical  and  geological  formation,  has  retained 
the  wealth  of  flora  and  beauty  of  the  Pliocene  Age. 
It  has  been  bequeathed  to  us  in  its  primitive  condi- 
tion, almost  unmarred,  with  itsgigantic  Sempervirens 
trees  (some  having  a  diameter  of  more  than  twenty 
feet)  the  oldest  and  largest  of  their  species.  The 
rugged  and  romantic  scenery  of  the  Basin  is  especially 
pleasing.  It  is  Burrounded  by  a  mountain  rim, 
traversed  by  great  ridges  of  forest  lands  and  deep 
wooded  canyons  with  their  gorges,  and  waterfalls  and 
sparkling  streams  filled  with  trout  contribute  greatly 
to  its  interest.  Its  wonderful  forests  (said  to  contain 
fifty-four  varieties  of  plants),  its  moss  covered  rocks 
and  graceful  ferns,  wild  azaleas  and  tiger  lillies,  tend 
to  make  a  scene  that  for  beauty,  educational  purposes 
and  general  interest  stands  unrivalled  by  any  forest 
in  the  w*5rld.  Its  scientific  and  practical  value  to 
mankind  is  widely  recognized.  It  is  in  a  warm  belt, 
possesses  a  peculiarly  hygenic  climate,  owing  to  the 
topography  of  the  country,  and  is  in  a  district  where 
froBt  is  seldom  known.  This  Park  is  destined  to  be- 
come as  famous  for  a  winter  as  it  is  for  a  summer 
resort.  It  has  excellent  facilities  for  camping.  A 
Burvey  made  in  June  of  the  present  year,  1905,  shows 
that  the  altitude  at  the  oamping  points  selected 
varies  from  1100  to  1500  feet.  The  elevation  of  the 
rim  surrounding  the  Park  varies  from  1600  to  2600 
feet  above  the  sea. 

The  Park  can  be  made  a  place  of  such  attraction 
that  all  tourists  who  visit  California  will  feel  that  they 
should  see  at  least  the  giant  redwoods  of  the  Big 
Basin  before  returning  to  their  homes  or  completing 
their  tour. 

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN.

into  shares  of  $100  each.  The  club  membership  will 
be  limited  to  100.  

TKUCKEE    IN    LINE. 

Early  in  June  some  fifty  of  Truckee's  representative 
citizens  and  sportsmen  met  for  the  purpose  of  hearing 
Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  Welch  of  this  city  and 
Game  Warden  Neate  of  Sacramento  and  also  to  com- 
plete the  organization  of  a  local  association — The 
Truckee  River  Fish  and  Game  Protective  Association. 

The  officers  elected  were:  William  Rowlison,  presi- 
dent; W.  O.  Blinn  and  R.  C.  Koepkie  of  Iceland,  vice- 
presidents;  F.  M.Rutherford,  secretary  and  treasurer; 
Trustees,  J.  C.  Hadley  of  Floriston,  W.  H.  Rapp, 
Herman  Wilkie,  Chas.  Cole  and  Stewart  McKay. 


HUNTING    DOGS. 

The  season  is  now  at  hand  when  sportsmen  will  be 
eager  to  find  a  suitable  dog  to  work  to  the  gun  during 
the  coming  open  season.  For  upland  shooting  the 
Setter  or  Pointer  has  the  call.  For  duck  shooting  the 
Irish  Water  Spaniel  is  the  choice  of  many  marsh 
hunters.  Notwithstanding  this  climate  is  free  from 
the  rigorous  conditions  prevailing  in  the  East  and 
Middle  West  during  the  winter  ducking  season,  or 
even  which  prevails  up  north,  still  it  is  asking  too 
much  of  a  short  or  thin  coated  dog  to  work  in  the 
water,  for  weather  conditions  here  are  cold  enough  at 
times  to  cause  a  dog  much  suffering. 

Finding  a  suitable  bird-dog  is  one  of  the  hardest 
possible  things  for  the  hunter.  Some  acquaintance 
may  recommend  a  dog  to  him  and  claim  for  it  every 
good  quality  with  which  a  kind  providence  has  en- 
dowed the  denizens  of  dogdom,  yet  when  he  inspects 
the  animal  the  hunter  will  see  nothing  extraordinary 
about  him  and  think  he  is  simply  and  ordinary  "purp. " 

Frequently  the  hunter,  especially  if  he  is  not 
familiar  with  dogs  or  type,  will  allow  the  general  ap- 
pearance of  the  animal  to  have  great  weight  with  him. 
He  may  disapprove  of  the  way  the  dog  hangs  his 
head,  or  because  he  is  not  always  snooping  around  as 
if  he  were  sniffing  out  game,  or  about  to  point. 

The  only  thing  about  a  dog  which  always  is  doing 
these  things  which  makes  the  average  hunter  think 
he  wants  him  is  the  fact  that  it  always  keeps  the 
spectatorin  a  state  of  suppressed  excitement.  This  is 
not  the  quality  of  a  high  class  dog,  and  nine  times  out  of 
ten  that  style  of  dog  is  a  false  pointer  and  seldom  an 
effective  ranger. 

Few  high  class  dogs  of  today  have  a  great  deal  of 
tail  action  or  style  when  ranging  at  speed,  and  only 
show  this  characteristic  when  nearing  the  game. 
The  reason  for  this  is  due  to  the  natural  tendency  of 
conservative  energy.  A  great  deal  of  unnecessary 
energy  is  consumed  by  excessive  tail  action  and  excite- 
ment. Many  experienced  trainers  are  coming  to  doubt 
the  capacity  of  a  dog  which  seems  to  be  "making 
game"  all  the  time. 

When  is  a  dog  broken?  This  is  another  question 
which  seems  to  bother  many.  Dogs,  which  under  the 
handling  of  one  man  show  the  greatest  intelligence,  are 
frequently  singularly  lacking  in  sense  when  another 
takes  charge  of  them.  These  people  seem  to  think  a 
dog  will  remember  anything  when  it  is  once  taught. 
This  is  not  true.  A  dog  which  is  well  broken  this 
season  is  apt  to  forget  a  great  portion  of  his  teachings 
when  next  year  comes  and  has  to  be  broken  over 
again. 

Many  of  the  finest  dogs  are  sensitive  and  Beem  to 
fear  having  Btrangers  near  them.  They  are  not  timid 
when  working  after  the  game,  however,  and  their 
owners  need  to  remember  that  some  of  the  best  dogs 
in  the  country  have  this  fault.  Some  Deerhounds 
will  quit  a  trail  and  turn  tail  to  it  if  they  meet  a 
stranger  in  the  woods.  Foxhounds,  Beagles  and  even 
some  Greyhounds  seem  to  be  afflicted  this  way,  but  if 
care  and  patience  are  shown  they  can  soon  be  broken 
of  this  faulty  habit.     

The  Sutter  Dove  Club,  composed  principally  of 
Sacramento  sportsmen  has  been  organized  with  a 
membership  of  twenty-two.  The  club  has  secured  a 
lease  of  the  McDermot  tract  near  Hangtown  Crossing 
and  the  preserve  has  been  posted  against  poachers 
and  trespassers.

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


NEW    TERRITORY    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 

Within  a  comparatively  short  period  new  country 
for  the  angler  and  hunter  will  be  opened  by  means  of 
several  projected  lines  of  railroad. 

One  road  contemplated  will  be  constructed  from 
Weeds  station  on  the  Southern  Pacific  in  Siskiyou 
county  to  Klamath  Falls,  a  distance  of  about  100 
miles.  This  region  is  practically  unknown  to  the 
angler  and  devotee  of  rifle  or  shotgun. 

The  California  Northwestern  Railway  has  within  a 
year  or  so  extended  its  line  first  to  Willitts  and  re- 
cently to  Sherwood,  Mendocino  county,  thus  opening 
up  for  the  sportsman  a  region  hitherto  only  accessible 
by  vehicle  or  horseback,  a  trip  denied  for  obvious 
reasons,  to  the  main  body  of  sportsmen. 

The  proposed  electric  line,  which  will  tap  the  coast 
shore  region  between  this  city  and  Santa  Cruz,  will 
give  access  to  a  territory  bountiful  in  the  extreme  for 
outing,  camping,  trout  and  sea  fishing,  deer  and  small 
game  shooting. 

A     SWELL     M.VRYSVILI.I-:     CUB. 

The  recently  organized  Tule  Hunting  Club  of 
Marysville  has  leased  nearly  18,000  acres  of  what  is 
claimed  to  be  "the  finest  shooting  grounds  in  the 
world,"  for  a  period  of  ten  years.  The  opportunities 
for  duck  shooting,  trout  and  black  bass  fishing,  com- 
bined, are  unequalled.  The  initiation  fee  for  member- 
ship is  placed  at  $100,  a  low  figure.  It  is  expected  the 
club  will  be  fully  organized  within  a  short  period. 
Col.  E.  A.  Forbes,  Dr.J.H.  Barr,  A.  O.  Frye,  C.  F 
Aaron,  H.  D.   King  and   J.    W.   Stewart  compose  a 


A  big  team  shoot  will  come  off  at  the  grounds  of 
the  Vallejo  Gun  Club  on  Sunday,  July  23d.  The  fol- 
lowing clubs  will  enter  five  man  teams:  Golden  Gate, 
Union  and  Empire  Gun  Clubs  of  San  Francisco,  Santa 
Rosa  Gun  Club,  St.  Helena  Gun  Club,  Vallejo  Gun 
Club  and  Hercules  Gun  Club  of  Pinole,  Cal.  Each 
club  is  privileged  to  enter  as  many  teams  as  desired. 
The  race  will  be  for  a  trophy — best  two  out  of  three 
wins  for  permanent  ownership,  25  targets  and  $5 
entrance  per  team.  The  winning  team  to  name  place 
of  next  contest  for  the  trophy. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the  shoot  will  be:  M.  A. 
Clark,  Vallejo  Gun  Club,  Captain  of  the  day;  Thos. 
L.  Lewis,  Secretary  of  the  Union  Gun  Club,  Manager; 
and  J.  W.  Elias,  Secretary  of  the  Vallejo  Club;  F.  W. 
Hesse,  Jr  ,  Captain  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Gun  Club; 
Edgar  L.  Forster,  Secretary  of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun 
Club:  J.  B.  Hauer,  Secretary  of  the  Empire  Gun  Club; 
W.  Hanson,  Captain  of  the  Hercules  Gun  Club  and 
W.  Sink,  Captain  of  the  St.  Helena  Gun  Club. 

This  shoot  will  be  well  attended  by  members  of  the 
clubs  mentioned  and  visiting  shooters. 


Twenty-six  guns  lined  up  before  the  bulkhead  on 
the  2d  inst.  at  Ingleside  at  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club 
shoot.  Weather  conditions  were  almost  too  warm  for 
comfort  and  undoubtedly  affected  a  number  of  scores. 

The  winners  in  the  club  race,  100  targets,  were: 
Champion  class— E.  L.  Forster  and  Ed  Schultzdivided 
first  and  second  money,  A.  J.  Webb  third  money,  M. 
O.  Feudner  fourth,  a-ud  M.  J.  Iverson  fifth  money. 
First  class— W.   J.  Golcher  first  money,   F.  Schultz 


The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  shoot,  June  25th,  was  well 
attended.  O'Hara,  Chappell,  Clark,  P.  Magistrini 
and  C.  Mayfield  of  Napa  were  the  high  guns  for  the 
day.  C.  Drake  was  high  gun  in  the  club  race.  The 
club  grounds  are  now  fitted  up  with  two  sets  of  traps 
Among  the  latest  names  on  the  membership  list  are 
those  of  C.  Mayfield  and  W.  White  At  the  last  shoot 
a  number  of  team  events  were  shot.  Captain  Chap- 
pell's  team  prevailed  over  Captain  Drake's. 

The  scores  in  the  regular  club  shoot  at  25  targets 
were:  Drake  24,  Chappell  23,  Comfort  22,  Clarke  21, 
Carter  20,  Mayfield  19,  P.  Magistrini  18,  Burnett  18, 
O'Hara  18,  Shouse  18,  Dr.  Turner  18,  Wisecarver  17, 
Coel7,  S.  Magistrini  16,  Elias  16,  Evans  16,  W.  Beve- 
ridge  14,  Rose  13,  Dr.  Arnold  12,  G.  Murray  11. 

A  high  wind  was  blowing  during  the  shoot,  which 
accounts  for  the  lower  percentage  of  several  shooters. 
The  club  is  in  an  exceedingly  prosperous  condition 
and  is  planning  many  new  improvements,  among 
which  are  a  grandstand  for  the  ladies,  as  many  of  the 
wives  and  friends  of  the  members  find  a  great  deal  of 
enjoyment  in  attending  the  sbootB.  Another  bulk- 
head and  set  of  traps, which  will  make  three  altogether 
will  be  put  in  and  will  be  ready  this  season,  when  the 
big  shoot  is  held.         

At  the  Bakersfield  Blue  Rock  Club  shoot,  June  25th, 
F.  N.  Schofield  made  the  highest  approximate  aver- 
age, 63  out  of  70  targets,  90%;  Clem  Wilson  was  next 
with  87%,  110  out  of  115.  Captain  Shatter,  U.  S.  A., 
scored  84%.  There  is  much  enthusiasm  over  the  sport 
in  Bakersfield  and  the  club  is  in  a  flourishing  con- 
dition.   The  scores  made  at  this  shoot  were:

Sunday,  June  25th,  a  shoot  came  off  between  San 
Luis  Obispo  Gun  Club  and  Paso  Robles  Gun  Club 
shooters.  The  former  club  won  by  a  big  margin— 14S 
to  117.  Six  events  were  on  the  card  and  a  barbecue 
was  an  appetizing  and  appreciated  side  issue  during 
the  luncheon  hour.  The  first  prize  in  the  merchan- 
dise event  was  annexed  by  Curtis  of  Paso  Robles. 

The  results  in  the  team  shoot  were:

James  Drumgoole  of  Anaconda  won  the  state  cham- 
pionship medal  at  the  recent  Bozeman  tournament. 
He  also  annexed  the  medal  for  high  average.  He  was 
the  recepient  of  a  handsome  leather  gun  case  presented 
by  tbe  Anaconda  Gun  Club  for  making  the  best  con- 
secutive run  of  break6— 290  Btraight,  a  pretty  good 
record.  

The  old  State  Fair  grounds  at  Sacramento  are  now 
a  thing  of  the  past,  the  tract  having  been  cut  up  into 
building  lots  The  favorite  trap  shooting  grounds 
for  Sacramento  sportsmen  passed  at  the  same  time. 
The  location  for  the  new  fair  grounds  is  now  in  full 
preparation  for  the  coming  fair  in  September.    Frank

There  has  been  quite  a  change  made  at  the  Ingle- 
side trap  sbooungVounds.  The  blue  roe*  bulkheads 
have  been  remov-d  from  the  extreme  ea.t  end  of  the 
grounds  and  set  up  again  on   the  eastern   portion   of 

'^b^ewmbe  found  to  be  decidedly  for  the 
better.  Tbe  western  portion  of  the  shooting  ground 
is  well  sheltered  and  surrounded  by  high  fencing 
which  is  quite  an  advantage  to  the  shooter  when  the 
wes-.erlv  trade  winds  are  hurtling  across  the  outfield. 
Another  advantage  is  that  tbe  shooters  can  now  do 
all  of  their  trap  shootiDg  in  one  enclosure  conveniently 
and  without  a  rather  long  walk   from   one  section   to 

the  other.  

The  California  Wing  Ulub  live  bird  shoot  for  July 
Is  the  card  at  Ingleside  tomorrow. 

Blue  rock  shooters  are  invited  to  attend  the  regular 
monthly  shoot  of  the  Empire  Gun  Club  at  Alameda 
Junction  tomorrow. 

The  Bakersfield  trap  shooting  grounds  ate  equipped 
with  a  Leggett  trap.  

WITH     THE    ANGLERS. 

Black  bass  fishing  has  been  excellent  recently  in 
Ballard's  lake,  near  Olivette  on  the  California  North- 
western Railway.  The  killing  lure  now  is  a  fly,  red 
bodied,  tinsel  wound,  with  a  canary  tall  and  hare  lug 
wings  This  fly,  on  a  No.  6  sproat,  was  found  to  be  a 
killer  by  an  angler  at  the  lake,  two  weeks  ago.  Jack 
Sammi  sent  one  down  to  John  Benn,  who  immediately 
tied  a  number  of  flies  according  to  pattern.  They 
were  found  to  be  just  what  the  doctor  ordered. 

Black  bass  fishing  on  the  Russian  river  riffles  be- 
tween Guerneville  and  Russian  River  Heights  is 
reported  to  be  excellent.  Fishing  for  bass  in  the 
river  in  the  vicinity  of  Duncans  is  also  good.  A 
minnow  bait  is  the  proper  lure  for  the  river  fishing. 

Striped  bass  fishing  in  Lake  Merritt  is  productive 
of  a  deal  of  sport  at  present.  On  Sunday  last  there 
was  a  fleet  of  boats  out.  about  forty  fish  wera  landed. 
Clam  bait  is  the  proper  caper  for  catching  bass  in 
the  lake  President  W.  Price  landed  his  first  bass,  a 
four-pounder  on  the  4tb.  He  went  out  on  a  venture, 
a  regatta  was  booked  there  for  the  day  and  this  prom- 
ised anything  but  sport  for  an  angler.  Nevertheless 
he  rowed  over  to  a  spot  indicated  by  John  Fatjo, 
chummed  with  a  dozen  or  so  fat  clams,  put  his  tackle 
over  and  before  bis  baited  hook  struck  bottom  he 
had  a  strike  and  caught  a  nice  bass.  Other  anglers 
out  on  Tuesday  returned  to  the  boat  house  sunburnt 
and  disguested. 

A  report  received  this  week  states  that  striped 
bass  are  exceedingly  numerous  again  off  San  Pablo 
and  that  the  fish  average  somewhat  heavier  than  a 
few  weeks  ago. 

Tbe  San  Antone  has  been  prospected  fruitlessly  by 
several  fishermen  recently.  Mr.  Sbattuck  of  the 
Petaluma  Gun  Club  Is  credited  with  a  take  of  sixteen 
fine  fish  a  week  ago.     

Sam  A.  Heller,  a  courteous  gentleman  and  a  true 
BportsiniiD,  passed  away  in  this  city  last  Sunday.  Mr. 
Her  was  a  popular  member  of  the  San  Francisco 
-Oa-itlng  Clubaod  alsoof  theCalifornia  WingClub. 
He  was  an  enthusiastic  angler  and  a  most  congenial 
companion  on  the  stream.  In  business  circles  of  this 
city  be  had  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  his  asso- 
ciates and  ho  was  also  an  appreciated  figure  in  a  select 
social  circle.  His  demise  is  mourned  by  many  friends 
with  whom  we  tender  to  his  surviving  relatives  our 
sincere  sympathy.         

Anglers  who  have  made  tbe  trip  to  the  Hetch- 
are  loud  10  tbelr  praises  of  a  district 
whlc.'lt  i»  claimed,  is  an  ideal  troutlng  country.  A 
number  of  stream-,,  tributaries  of  tbe  Tuolumne  river 
—the  Middle  Fork,  South  Fork,  Cherry  CreeK, 
It  incberia  Creek  and  Tiltlll  Creek,  are  teeming  with 
rainbow  and  brook  trout  ol  good  size.  In  the  lakes  of 
this  region,  Elinor,  Laurel,  Harden  and  Tenaiya, 
besides  numerous  o.hersmaller  bodies  of  water,  spoon

and  fly-fishing  can  be  had  in  an  almost  unfished 
territory.  .. 

There  are  two  routes  into  the  valley,  one  by  rail- 
road to  Oakdale,  where  the  angler  can  take  the  Sierra 
Railway  to  Chinese  Camp,  and  thence  by  horseback 
into  the  valley;  the  other  route  is  by  railroad  to  Mer- 
ced and  then  by  stage  to  his  destination.  The  trip 
going  and  coming  will  take  several  days,  but  it  is 
worth  the  time  for  a  vacation. 

In  the  valley  the  angler  can  find  good  accommoda- 
tion at  University  Camp,  which  is  maintained  by  the 
students  of  California  and  Stanford  Universities. 


Trout  fishing  at  Boca  is  reported  excellent.  Carlos 
G.  Young  and  H.  W.  McNoughtonleft  for  this  famous 
Truckee  angling  resort  a  week  ago.  James  S.  Turner, 
J.  Burns  and  wife  and  Joseph  Dober  will  spend  the 
coming  week  at  that  point. 

Thomas  C.  Kierulff,  the  popular  secretary  of  the 
Fly -Casting  Club,  together  with  his  wife  and  son,  are 
enjoying  trout  fishing  in  the  vicinity  of  Dutch  Flat. 

The  streams  of  the  Yosemite  Valley  are  annually 
"fished  to  death,"  so  to  speak.  None  but  expert 
anglers,  however,  can  usually  show  results  for  their 
efforts.  Tradition  has  it  that  the  Indians  of  the 
valley  are  the  only  fishers  for  trout  who  have  been 
successful  to  any  extent.  The  Indians  are  essentially 
market  fishermen,  and  Bupply  the  hotels  and  camps 
with  almost  all  of  the  "fresh  trout"  in  the  valley 
hotel  cuisine  That  the  Indians  are  infallible  has 
been  proven  a  myth  time  and  again,  when  the  know- 
ing angler  went  after  trout.  Good  fishing  in  the 
valley  is  now  to  be  found  only  at  remote  waters, 
where  the  general  run  of  visitors  do  not  care,  or  do 
not  know,  where  to  go.  Joseph  Leidig  is  a  young 
man  who  was  born  in  the  valley  and  is  a  most  skilled 
angler.  Leidig  knows  every  stream  and  rock  in  the 
Yosemite  and  Heteh-Hetchy  valleys. 


John  Butler  returned  from  Castella  on  Wednesday. 
He  spent  a  week  at  that  point  enjoying  some  spirited 
fly-fishing. 

Trout  fishing  at  that  point  must  be  excellent,  or 
will  be  until  the  spawning  salmon  arrive  up  river,  for 
Judge  K.  M.  Jackson,  among  others,  has  caught  many 
fish  there.  Last  week  Mr.  Fred  M.  Haight  received 
from  tbe  judge,  a  rainbow  trout,  that  weighed  dressed 
5J  pounds.  

Salmon  are  running  plentifully  at  Santa  Cruz, 
Capitola  and  Monterey.  Many  fine  heavy  fish  are 
being  taken  daily  by  anglers  out  in  boats,  the  Wilson 
spoon  seems  to  be  the  tempting  tid  bit  (?)  for  the  fish 
just  at  present.  

Otto  Feudner  and  Ed  Schultz  stopped  over  at 
Rogue  river  on  their  return  from  the  Northwest 
tournament  at  Portland.  They  spent  several  days 
on  that  grand  Oregon  trout  stream  at  and  near  the 
fish  hatchery  some  thirty-three  miles  from  Metford, 
Or.  Mr.  Malcolm  S.  McKeown,  a  Metford  business 
man,  looked  after  the  two  anglers  while  in  his  baili- 
wick and  they  received  royal  treatment. 

The  fishing  was  excellent,  many  large-sized  rain- 
bows were  taken.  The  Rogue  river  fish  are  "dead 
game  sports"  (after  getting  in  the  creel),  they  strike 
with  a  rush  and  put  up  a  lusty  fight,  and  our  two 
shooters  had  most  enjoyable  sport. 


was  won  by  Mr.  W.  Stannard,  and  first  amate  ur  avei 
age  by  Mr.  A.  Molle,  both  shooting  Peters'  factor; 
loaded  shells. 

Quite  a  remarkable  score  was  made  on  the  grounds 
of  the  Indianapolis  Gun  Club,  June  3d,  by  Mr.  G.  M.  ' 
Kanouse  of  St.  Paul,  Ind.    He  was  high  man   for  the 
day,  breaking  96%  and  attributed  his  excellent  score-' 
to  the  use  of  Peters'  factory  loaded  high  gun  shells. 15 1 

At    Ardmore,  Ind.   Ter.,   June  5th,   6th   and    7tb, 
Peters' shells  were  decidedly  in  evidence.    Mr.  C.  P.  j 
Renst  was  high  amateur  and  Mr.  J.  S.  Day  high  pro- 
fessional. 

At  Dublin,  Ind.,  June  8th,  Mr.  C.  A.  Young  waB-| 
high  gun,  Mr.  L.  H.  Reed  second,  and  Messrs.  Kirby,  i 
Peters  and  Clark  tie  for  third.  The  entire  bunch  I 
using  Peters'  shells,  of  course. 

On  June  9th  at  Ruffsdale,  Pa.,  Mr.  R.   S.   Denniker  | 
won  high  average,  Mr.  Ed  Hickey  second,   and  Mr 
Robert  West,  third— all  using  Peters'  factory  loaded 
shells.  

A    SPLENDID    16-GACGE    SCORE. 

One  of  the  greatest  scores  that  has  come  to  our 
notice  of  late,  made  with  a  sixteen  bore  gun,  was  the 
performance  at  Trinidad,  Colo.,  on  June  15,  Mr.  P. 
W.  Caldwell,  shootiog  a  16-gauge  Parker  gun,  made 
a  score  of  72  out  of  a  possible  75,  making  a  straight 
score  of  three  twenty-fours  out  of  a  possible  twenty- 
five.  This  is  a  wonderful  performance  with  a  16-gauge 
gun,  and  a  short  time  previous  dr.  Caldwell  broke  48 
out  of  50  at  16  yards  with  his  16-gauge  Parker. 

At  London,  Ont.,  Mr  Harry  Marlott,  with  the 
Parker  gun,  on  June  8th,  at  i7  and  21  yards  rise 
scored  162  out  of  a  possible  175,  winning  high  average. 
This  is  a  pretty  good  record. 

Mr  S.  C  Yocum  of  Shamokin,  Pa.,  at  the  Sbamo- 
kin  Gun  Club  broke  47  out  of  50  and  96  out  of  100. 
Mr.  Yocum  is  strictly  an  amateur  and  is  a  staunch 
supporter  of  his  "Old  Reliable"  Parker. 

At  the  Ohio  State  tournament,  Canton,  O.,  D.  A. 
Upson,  shooting  a  Parker  gun,  won  first  general 
average  for  the  three  days,  with  476  out  of  a  possible 
500.  F.  H  Snow  shooting  a  Parker  gun  also,  was 
second  with  474  out  of  500.  Frank  D.  Alkire  made 
the  longest  continuous  run  during  the  tournament  of 
ton  days  with  high  amateur  average  for  the  third 
day,  losing  8  only  out  of  235.  R.  R.  Rhoades  with  a 
Parker  gun  won  high  amateur  average  the  second 
day,  losing  only  5  birds  out  of  160. 

The  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  was  much  in  evidence, 
and  such  records  as  above  prove  absolutely  that  the 
Parker  is  the  winner  of  the  age. 


Trout  fishing  is  still  reported   to  be  good  in  the 
Santa  Clara  valley  and  contiguous  Coast  streams. 


Al  M.  Cummings  at  last  accounts   was  at   Webber 
lake  and  having  great  sport  with  the  trout. 


Independence  and  Tahoe  lakes  are  both  inviting 
now  to  the  angler,  the  fishing  is  first-class.

HIGH    HONORS    AGAIN    FOB    U.    M.    C. 

At  Ingleside,  June  2nd,  the  regular  monthly  shoot 
of  the  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  was  held.  Twenty- 
three  shooters  faced  the  trapB.  The  chief  event  of 
the  day's  meeting  was  tbe  conteet  for  the  Bekeart 
Cup — a  very  pretty  race  and  closely  contested  by 
Messrs.  Webb,  Feudner,  E.  Schultz,  C.  C.  Nauman 
and  C.  A.  Haight.  Mr.  Webb  winning  out  with 
90%.  Without  exception  the  shooters  in  this  event 
used  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  exclusively.  It  Bhould 
appear  unnecessary  to  further  emphasize  the  value  of 
the  U.  M.  C.  products,  a  simple  statement  of  tbe  con- 
tinued use  by  experts  being  sufficient,  to  prove  the 
sterling  qualities  of  accuracy  and  genuine  popularity. 
Of  the  twenty-three  contestants  in  the  regular 
shoot,  twenty  were  exclusive  users  of  the  U.  M.  C. 
ammunition. 

AN    IMPORTANT    BUSINESS    CHANGE. 

The  following  circular  letters  received  this  week  are 
self-explanatory  and  will  be  read  with  interest  by 
many  of  our  readers. 

Mr.  Phil  B.  Bekeart,  President  of  the  Phil  B. 
Bekeart  Co.  states: 

I  beg  to  advise  you  that  I  have  sold   out  my  Tire 
Agencies  and  Tire  Repair  Shcps,  both  in  this  city  and  ' 
in  Los  Angeles,  to  The  Fisk   Rubber  Co.,  who  after 
July  1st,  will  conduct  these  branches  for  their  own  ! 
account. 

Injustice  to  myself  and  The  Fisk  Rubber  Co.,  I 
deem  it  proper  to  state  that  I  resigned  from  the  Fisk 
Agency,  for  the  following  reason: 

I  could  not  handle  the  increased  business  of  the 
Fisk  Rubber  Co.  and  still  da  justice  to  my  largely 
increased  gun  business. 

I  intend  in  the  future  to  confine  myself  to  my  gun 
and  sporting  good6  business.  Before  ceasing  our 
business  relations,  I  take  this  opportunity  of  thanking 
you  for  past  favors,  and  of  bespeaking  your  continued 
interest  in  the  future,  for  The  Fisk  Rubber  Co.  and 
the  Firestone  Tire  &  Rubber  Co. 

The  Fisk  Rubber  Co.  announces  through  Mr.  G.  E. 
Johnson,  Pacific  Coast  Manager:  We  beg  to  advise 
you  that  on  July  1st,  we  will  open  a  branch  in  this 
city,  temporarily  located  at  146  Second  St.,  second 
floor,  pending  the  completion  of  a  building  now  being 
erected  for  us  at  409  Golden  Gate  ovenue,  where  we 
will  handle  our  own  account  on  tbe  Pacific  Coast, 

This  change  has  been  brought  about  at  request  of 
the  P.  B.  Bekeart  Co.,  who  formerly  handled  our 
account  in  this  territory,  for  reasons  with  which  you 
are  already  fa'miliar,  through  notice  from  them.  We 
wish  to  thank  you  fer  past  favors  given  us  through 
the  Bekeart  Co.,  and  can  assure  you  that  with  our 
policy  to  make  the  best  goods  possible,  regardless  of 
cost,  and  with  building  constructed  for  our  use  we 
can  give  you  both  goods  and  service,  of  which  there 
will  be  no  cause  for  complaint. 

The  Phil  B.  Bekeart  Company  conducts  the  Coast

THE  FARM. 


The  Babcock  Test. 


One  hundred  pounds  of  milk  consists 
of  approximately  eighty  five  to  eighty 
six  pounds  of  water  and  fourteen  to  fifteen 
pounds  of  solids  of  whi;  h  in  round 
numbers  nearly  one-third  is  butter  fat. 
The  Babcock  test  is  simply  a  chemical 
means  of  measuring  what  proportion  of 
milk  is  fat.  A  fair  sample  is  measured 
into  a  bottle  and  an  equal  amount  of  sul- 
phuric acid  breaks  up  the  solids  not  tat, 
leaving  the  fat  to  raise  into  the  neck  of 
the  test  bottle  by  means  of  centrifugal 
force  developed  in  the  tester. 

In  the  proceBS  of  churning  the  fat  is 
collected  together  during  which  more  or 
less  water  is  imprisoned  in  it,  also  a  little 
curd :  the  salt  is  added  to  it  in  the  pro- 
cess of  working  so  that  butter  contains 
something  in  addition  to  pure  fat.  A 
given  quantity  of  fat  will  therefore  make 
more  butter  than  the  actual  pounds  of 
[at.  This  mount  of  butter  made  more 
than  the  fat  is  commonly  spoken  of  as 
over-run  and  will  vary  from  ten  to  fifteen 
per  100  pounds  fat  in  ordinary  creamery. 
It  might  through  carelessness  be  entirely 
lost  so  that  the  churned  butter  would  not 
be  greater  than  the  amount  of  fat  in 
the  milk  delivered.  Again  under  varying 
conditions  which  are  not  as  thoroughly 
understood  as  iB  desired,  it  may  run  more 
than  fifteen  pounds. 

The  question  to  whom  thiB  over-run 
belongs  is  one  that  is  often  raised.  I 
believe  that  the  simplest  method  of  ac- 
counting is  about  as  follows:  Supposing 
for  instance  the  milk  tested  four  and  four- 
tenths.  It  would  therefore  contain  four 
and  four-tenths  per  cent  butter  fat.  1000 
pounds  of  this  milk  would  bring  to  the 
creamery  440  poundB  fat.  If  this  made 
up  into  butter  produces  506  poundB  of 
butter  there  would  be  fifteen  per  cent 
over-run.  Supposing  this  506  pounds  of 
butter  to  be  sold  when  butter  was  worth 
twenty-eight  cents  a  pound  the  creamery 
would  receive  $141.68.  From  this  the 
creamery  must  pay  itB  running  expenses 
and  pay  for  the  fat.  This  mry  be  done  in 
either  of  two  ways.  The  actual  expense 
may  be  deducted  from  the  total  receipts 
and  the  balance  divided  among  the 
patrons  on  the  basis  of  fat  delivered,  or  if 
the  creamery  either  a  private  or  stock  com- 
pany, agrees  to  make  the  butter  for  fixed 
price  per  pound,  from  tnree  and  one-balf 
to  four  and  one-half  being  a  common 
charge,  for  the  saxe  of  illustration  we  will 
deduct  four  centB  a  pound  for  making. 
This  on  506  pounds  of  butter  would  amount 
to  $20.24,  leaving  $121.44  to  be  divided 
among  the  patrons  Since  this  is  the 
amount  that  440  pounds  of  fat  is  worth, 
one  pound  of  fat  would  be  worth  1,140th 
or  27>£c.  Each  patron  should  therefore 
receive  27^c  a  pound  for  each  pound  of 
fat  delivered  by  him. 

In  the  case  of  a  stock  company,  should 
the  amount  deducted  at  four  cents  a 
pound  for  making  be  more  than  enough 
to  pay  freight,  commission,  labor,  fuel, 
repairs,  etc.,  the  balance  may  be  held 
against  a  time  when  new  equipment  is 
needed  or  it  may  be  apportioned  among 
the  stockholders  as  a  dividend  on  the 
money  they  have  invested.  It  is  fair  in 
either  case  since  the  patronB  have  received 
all  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  their 
product  leBS  the  four  cents  which  the 
creamery  was  to  get  for  making,  and  they 
get  this  whether  the  over-run  be  large  or 
small. 

It  is  to  the  interest  of  the  creamery  to 
have  as  large  an  over-run  as  possible. 
The  more  pounds  of  butter  there  are  sold 
the  larger  the  receipts  for  making.  On 
the  other  hand  there  is  no  encouragement 
for  them  to  either  to  raise  or  lower  the 
teBt  because  their  receipts  are  not  in- 
fluenced by  the  results  of  the  test,  aa  the 
pounds  of    butter  made  depend  on  th« 


pounds  of  fat  actually  delivered  not  on 
what  the  test  shows. 

With  the  present  prices  a  good  four- 
bottled  tester  is  within  the  reach  of  any 
farmer  who  is  milking  four  or  five  cows. 
He  should  have  one  not  only  to  know 
whether  or  not  the  test  is  being  cor- 
rectly made  at  the  creamery,  but  to 
know  what  his  individual  cowb  are  do- 
ing. The  difference  in  the  cost  of  keep- 
ing different  cows  in  a  herd  will  as  a  rule 
not  vary  over  $10  on  an  ordinary  farm, 
while  the  returns  per  cow  will  vary  as 
much  as  $3  or  $40  between  the  best  and 
poorest.  It  is  not  an  uncommon  experi- 
ence to  find  one  cow  not  even  paying  for 
the  feed  she  eats,  to  say  nothing  of  hav- 
ing a  margin  for  interest  and  deprecia- 
tion. This  is  a  matter  that  needs 
attention. 

A  man  who  keeps  five  or  six  cows  as  a 
sideline  can  no  more  afford  to  keep  an 
unprofitable  cow  than  he  who  Is  keeping 
twenty  as  an  important  part  of  his  busi- 
ness.— JB.  E.  Van  Norman,  Indiana  Ex- 
periment Station. 


American  Bacon  Hogs. 


Our  bacon  hog  differs  considerably  from 
the  English  bacon  hog.  There  is,  how- 
ever, a  growing  tendency  toward  the 
tpyical  bacon  type  The  indications 
point  to  the  fact  that  we  are  at  the 
"parting  of  the  way,"  and  that  in  the 
future,  we  will  have  a  place  for  the  ideal 
bacon  hog  as  well  as  for  the  fat  or  lard 
hog. 

Corn  ia  at  present  being  used  for  other 
purposes,  such  aa  the  manufacture  of 
corn  starch,  whisky,  and  oil.  The  latter 
ia  used  for  various  purposes,  as  for  lu- 
bricating, a  table  oil,  aa  a  Bubatitute  for 
olive  oil,  linseed  oil,  etc.  This  has  caused 
the  price  of  corn  to  go  up  to  nearly  what 
other  grains,  used  as  hog  feeds,  are  worth. 
At  the  same  time,  a  ration  of  all  corn, 
which  usually  forms  the  principal  part  of 
the  feed  of  the  fat  or  lard  hog,  is  coming 
to  be  generally  recognized  as  detrimental 
to  the  best  development  of  swine  from 
the  breeder's  standpoint  These  things 
are  the  cause  of  a  gradual  drifting  toward 
a  more  mixed  ration  in  Bwine  feeding, 
and  usually  a  ration  containing  more 
protein  or  flesh  forming  material.  Coupled 
with  thiB,  there  is  not  so  great  a  demand 
for  fat  pork  aB  there  formerly  was,  and 
shipping  and  cold  Btorage  facilities  are 
much  better,  consequently  more  fresh 
and  lean  meats  are  used. 

These  various  factors  are  gradually, 
but  most  Burely  effecting  a  change  in 
the  character  of  swine  in  the  United 
States.  The  all  fat  hog  of  the  past  will 
in  the  future  he  partly  replaced  by  the 
bacon  hog,  and  the  fat  or  lard  hog  as 
a  whole  will  in  the  future  more  nearly 
approach  the  bacon  hog  in  form  than 
in  the  past.  Of  course,  there  will  always 
be  a  demand  for  lard,  consequently 
there  will  always  be  a  place  for  the  fat 
or  lard  hog.  But  the  bacon  hog  will 
occupy  a  more  prominent  position  in  the 
future  than  he  has  in  the  past. 

There  is  a  demand  from  foreign  coun- 
tries and  more  largely  from  our  own 
country,  for  bacon,  and  there  being  few 
bacon  hogs  to  supply  the  demand,  the 
trade  is  supplied  from  the  lighter  hogs 
of  the  fat  or  lard  hog  type.  This  bacon 
however,  does  not  command  so  high  a 
price  on  the  market  as  does  bacon  from 
typical  bacon  hogs.  The  bacon  hogs 
under  consideration  here  weigh  from 
155  to  195  pounds,  and  range  in  age  from 
six  to  eight  months.  They  are  simply 
hogB  selected  from  the  light  hogs  in 
general,  that  conform  as  nearly  as  pos- 
sible to  the  bacon  type.  They  are  not 
very  fat,  have  fairly  good  development 
of  muscle,  or  lean  meat,  and  are  as  long 
and  deep  inside  as  iB  possible  to  obtain 
them.  About  20  per  cent  of  the  light 
hogs  that  come  to  the  Chicago  market 
are  of  this  type. 

Choice  bacon  hogs  are  the  best  of 
this  class;  they  are  hogs  that  show  good 
length  and  depth,  good  quality  and  are 
smooth,  well   developed,   and  not  very 


fat.  They  are  hoga  that  have  had  con- 
siderable exercise  and  have  not  been 
fed  on  an  exclusive  corn  ration.  These 
bacon  hogs  are  selected  for  the  most 
part  from  shipments  that  come  from 
outside  of  the  corn  belt,  where  the  prin- 
cipal feed  is  similar  to  that  used  in 
Great  Britain,  Denmark  and  Canada  for 
bacon  production,  viz.,  oats,  barley,  rye, 
peas,  skim  milk  and  pasture. 

These  are  the  feeds  that  are  conducive 
to  the  production  of  the  best  bacon 
when  fed  to  hogs  of  the  bacon  type,  and 
when  fed  to  hoga  of  the  fat,  or  lard  bog 
type  bacon  hoga  such  aB  we  have  under 
discussion  here  are  produced.  These 
bacon  hogs  have  more  fat  on  the  out- 
side  and  less  leao  meat  on  the  inside  of 
their  carcasses  than  the  typical  bacon 
hogs,  but  are  better  in  these  respecta 
than  the  typical  fat,  or  lard  hogs.  In 
truth,  thiB  bacon  bog  ia  an  intermediary 
between  the  fat  or  lard  hog  and  the 
typical  bacon  hog,  being  more  like  the 
former  than  the  latter. 

The  good  bacon  hoga  of  this  class  may 
be  of  poorer  quality,  may  be  lower  in 
condition  or  may  be  too  fat  or  too  much 
of  the  fat  hog  type.  Any  one  or  all  of 
these  conditions  would  be  the  cause  of 
hogs  grading  lower  than  choice. 

If  there  is  a  still  more  marked  defi- 
ciency in  these  characteristics,  the  hog 
will  grade  as  a  common  bacon  hog.  But 
this  hog  has  sufficient  quality  and  con- 
dition to  show  that  he  haa  been  well  fed 
and  has  been  fed  so  that  his  Bides  will 
do  to  cure  for  the  cheaper  grades  of 
bacon. — William  Deitrich. 


Dairy  Notes. 


By  keeping  the  cows  clean  there  will 
be  little  danger  of  Btringy  milk. 

The  cow  that  tests  below  3  per  cent 
butter  fat  is  not  worth  keeping  in  the 
dairy  herd. 

The  more  study  the  dairyman  puts 
into  his  occupation  the  more  success  will 
he  attain. 

Keep  things  about  the  farm  dairy  clean. 
Elbow  grease  costs  effort  but  it's  worth 
the  candle  when  it  cornea  to  clean  milk, 
clean  separators,  clean  butter  and  and  a 
clean  trade 

The  enormous  ealeB  of  cream  separators 
show  the  value  of  the  separator  on  the 
farm.  The  warm  skim  milk  for  feeding 
purposes  soon  pays  for  the  cost  of  a 
machine. 

Sorghum  planted  this  month  in  rows 
and  cultivated  like  corn,  then  shredded 
for  winter  cow  feed  makea  a  good  milk 
producing  food  in  the  winter  time. 

To  make  profits  with  dairy  butter,  have 
the  cream  ripened  properly,  churn  at  the 
rignt  temperature,  wash  the  granulated 
butter  until  the  butter  milk  iB  removed, 
work  the  butter  juBt  enough,  salt  with 
judgment  and  pack  neatly. 

The  dairy  cow  and  the  hog  make  an 
excellent  combination.  Not  only  do  they 
pay  well  but  they  take  little  fertility  from 
the  farm.  Let  ub  have  more ''cow-hog" 
combines  and  then  we  will  hear  of  leBS 
farmer  farm-separations. 

Where  calves  are  "brought  up  by 
hand,"  bo  to  speak,  the  rule  to  stay  by 
first,  last  and  all  the  time  is :  Keep  every- 
thing clean  and  sweet,  feed  regularly  and 
carefully,  and  use  kindness  above  all. 

If  you  are  feeding  skim  milk  to  calveB, 
don't  make  the  mistake  of  feeding  a 
larger  quantity  than  you  would  feed  if 
whole  milk  were  given  them.  This  is  a 
mistake  that  so  many  make,  and  the  re- 
sult is  that  their  calves  are  troubled  with 
scours. 

The  dust  and  air  of  most  cow  stables  is 
loaded  with  bacteria,  and  when  they  get 
into  the  milk  they  multiply  at  the  rate  of 
millions  per  minute.  The  milker's  duty 
to  bie  family  and  to  humanity  in  general 
when  be  is  milking  is  a  serious  matter. 

Is  the  air  in  the  etable  pure  and  free 
from  duat  during  milking?  Would  he 
be  willing  and  glad  to  get  a  plate  of  soup 
while  he  ib  milking  a  cow?  If  not,  why 
not?  Isn't  milk  a  human  food,  and  isn't 
the  milk  pail  that  ia  under  the  cow  being 


filled  with  food  for  hia  table? 

After  cleaning  out  the  cow  stable  at 
leaat  twice  each  year,  sprinkle  plaBter 
over  the  floor  to  aid  in  absorbing  the 
liquid  and  in  preserving  the  wooden 
floors.  Cement  floors  do  not  need  plaster 
as  they  may  be  flushed  with  water  from  a 
hose.  Cement  mangers  and  iron  Btalls 
are  now  put  into  cow  stables  and  are 
proving  very  satisfactory. 


Dehorning  of  Cattle. 

ProfesBorSpellman  of  the  Agricultural 
Department,  declares  it  is  possible  to  de- 
horn a  whole  breed  of  catt'e  by  introduc- 
ing into  the  breed  a  single  pure  polled 
animal,  though  this  would  require  more 
inbreeding  than  is  desirable.  The  problem 
is  much  eaBierwhen  a  number  of  breeders 
work  in  parallel  lines,  so  that  strains  are 
always  available  that  are  not  closely  re- 
lated. The  only  difficulty  in  applying 
the  principles  of  Mendel's  law  in  dehorn- 
ing a  breed  of  cattle  arise  from  the  fact 
that  the  hybrid  animal  is  itself  polled, 
although  it  is  capable  of  transmitting 
both  the  polled  character  and  the  horned 
character  to  its  offspring. 

The  general  principle  to  be  used  as  a 
working  basis  is  the  important  fact  that 
when  a  number  of  crosses  are  Becured 
between  polled  and  horned  animals  and 
theBe  crosses  themselves  are  crossed,  one- 
fourth  of  the  progeny  will  be  pure  polled 
animals  incapable  of  transmitting  hornB 
to  their  progeny,  and  theBe  pure  polled 
animals  are  to  be  used  as  a  basis  upon 
which  to  build  a  polled  breed. 

It  is  entirely  practicable  for  every 
breeder  to  secure  enough  of  these  pure 
polled  animals  as  a  basis  on  which 
gradually  to  work  out  the  horned  animals 
and  increase  the  pure  poll  until  they  con- 
stitute his  entire  herd. 


Raising  Calves  by  Hand. 

Improvements  in  stock  and  methods 
of  feeding  young  calves  have  resulted  in 
new  ideas  in  regard  to  raising  calves  by 
hand.  Every  one  who  has  tried  it  has 
experienced  difficulty  in  keeping  them 
thrifty  and  in  securingreasonablegrowth. 
It  is  quite  possible  by  observing  the  little 
necessary  things  to  raise  calves  just  as 
well  by  hand  as  in  the  natural  way. 
Cleanliness  about  all  utensils  and  care  in 
feeding  the  milk  warm,  with  judgment  as 
to  quantity,  aeems  to  cover  the  ground. 

It  is  possible  to  raise  calves  profitably 
on  warm  separator  milk  by  subatituting 
whole  oats  for  the  cream  removed.  One 
of  the  advantages  in  band  raising  ia  that 
after  the  calf  is  grown  sufficiently  to  go  on 
dry  feed  it  does  better  than  a  calf  raised 
by  the  cow.  Early  maturity  no  doubt  is 
hindered  by  hand  feeding,  but  it  is  made 
up  fully  or  nearly  so  by  educating  the 
calf  to  hustle  for  itself  to  a  certain  extent. 
A  few  years  ago  the  idea  of  making  baby 
beef  out  of  hand  fed  calves  was  considered 
absurd,  but  in  the  past  two  years  this 
has  come  to  be  an  established  custom  in 
certain  dairy  sections.  Holatein  calves 
are  fed  by  hand  and  turned  off  as  profit- 
able baby  beef  at  the  age  of  from  sixteen 
to  twenty  months,  and  they  have  been 
made  to  gain  an  average  of  134'  pounds 
per  day,  figuring  from  birth.

Treatment  of  Colic  in  Horses. 

Colic  iB  the  name  given  to  abdomi- 
nal pains,  no  matter  from  what 
cause.  There  is  probably  no  disease, 
aside  from  the  strictly  contagiouB  diseases,  j 
which  causes  so  great  a  financial  loss  to 
etoc'i  owners  as  does  colic,  writes  Dr. 
Barnes  of  the  Kansas  agricultural  college. 
There  are  a  great  many  causes  of  colic, 
but  improper  food  and  water  are  the 
main  ones.  Good  food  and  water  given 
either  at  irregular  times  or  in  too  large 
quantities  may  cause  colic.  Highly  con- 
centrated foods,  Buch  as  peas,  beanB,  corn, 
etc.,  which  are  difficult  to  digest,  are  also 
fruitful  causes  of  colic. 

There  is  generally  more  of  this  disease 
in  the  spring  when  there  is  an  extra 
amount  of  work  to  be  done,  and  the 
horses  are  given  large  feeds  of  grain  to 
which  they  are  not  accustomed.  In 
these  cases  more  work  is  done  by  the 
animal  syBtem  and  the  body  also  has 
additional  work  thrown  upon  it  in  using 
this  unnecessary  food.  The  stomach  and 
intestines  are  the  organs  most  easily 
deranged  in  colic. 

Irregular  feeding  will  bring  on  this 
disease.  The  animals  go  too  long  a  time 
before  eating,  and  then  when  allowed  to 
eat,  gorge  themselves.  The  stomach  be- 
ing in  an  exhausted  condition  cannot 
take  care  of  this  enormous  amount  of 
food. 

Other  causes  of  colic  may  be  mentioned, 
feeding  an  animal  first  and  then  watering 
him,  causing  the  grain  to  be  carried  undi- 
gested into  the  intestines  before  it  is 
ready  for  the  action  of  intestinal  fluids; 
sudden  changes  in  the  grain ;  feeding 
while  the  animal  is  exhausted;  new  grain 
or  hay,  also  sour  food  ;  sucking  wind  into 
the  stomach,  eating  stones,  sand  or  sandy 
food;  constipation;  worm  in  the  intes- 
tines; inflammation  of  the  intestines, 
kidneys  or  lining  of  the  abdomen;  rupture 
of  navel  or  scrotum;  eating  irritants,  as 
chemicals,  and  lead  poisoning. 

The  first  symptoms  of  colic  observed  in 
a  horse  is  pain  expressed  by  restlessness, 
pawing,  kicking  the  belly  with  the  hind 
leg,  switching  the  tail,  looking  at  the 
flanks,  rolling  and  throwing  himself 
violently  down  and  then  jumping  up  again 
lying  on  the  back,  reiusing  food,  straining 
to  pass  water  and  manure. 

If  the  colic  is  caused  by  fermenting 
foods,  the  animal  will  bloat.  The  tem- 
perature and  respiration  are  about  normal 
but  in  spasmodic  colic  respiration  is 
hurried  during  the  spasm. 

Food  and  water  should  not  be  given  a 
horse  at  meal  time  until  he  is  cool.  He 
■hould  not  be  allowed  to  stand  in  a  draft 
after  he  has  been  overheated.  Unless  the 
weather  is  warm,  a  woolen  blanket  ought 
t)be  placed  over  the  animal  to  absorb 
the  sweat.  After  he  is  cool  give  him 
water,  next  a  feed  of  hay,  and  lastly  the 
grain. 

A  horse  should  not  be  allowed  to  remain 
in  the  stable  several  days  without  exercise 
and  receive  the  same  amount  of  food  as 
when  working.  Kew  grain  must  be  fed 
sparingly  at  first  to  avoid  indigestion. 

During  hot  weather  the  water  should 
be  run  into  a  tub  and  warmed  by  the  heat 
of  the  sun  before  the  horse  drinks  it  at 
the  noon  hour  or  at  night. 

Always  water  horses  before  and  not 
after  feeding.  A  point  to  be  emphasized 
is  regular  feeding  and  not  abrupt  changeB 
in  the  nature  of  the  feed.  Horses  should 
not  be  put  to  active  work  immediately 
after  a  meal. 

In  treating  for  colic  first  of  all  put  the 
patient  in  a  large  stall  with  plenty  of 
straw.  If  a  stall  is  not  available,  put  him 
in  a  yard  which  can  be  well  bedded.  A 
colic  patient  should  have  some  competent 
person  to  attend  him  constantly.  If  the 
weather  is  cold,  blanket  him.  Just  as 
soon  as  possible  give  a  medium  sized 
boraea  quart  of  raw  lineeed  oil.  Then  if 
the  anirnal  has  cramp  colic  (spasmodic 
colic)  give  one-half  ounce  chloral  hydrate 
in  a  pint  of  water.  In  an  hour  give 
another  dose  of  chloral  if  the  animal  con- 
tinues, to  show  pain.    An  hour  later  give 


two  drachma  fluid  extract  Cannabis 
Indica,  one-half  drachm  fluid  extract 
Belladonna  in  a  half  pint  of  water,  even 
though  the  patient  may  seem  easier.  If 
the  horse  becomes  violent  again  it  may 
be  necessary  io  resort  to  the  chloral  in 
half  ounce  doses. 

In  Duying  the  chloral  it  is  well  to  have 
the  druggist  put  it  up  in  half  ounce 
packages.  Be  sure  to  give  the  oil  first,  as 
the  object  in  all  kinds  of  colic  is  to  get 
rid  of  the  subBtance  causing  the  trouble. 
If  the  horse  has  wind  colic,  after  giving 
the  oil,  then  give  one-half  drachm  fluid 
extract  belladonna,  one  ounce  turpentine 
and  a  half  drachm  of  fluid  extract  of  nux 
vomica  in  a  pint  of  milk.  Walk  the  horse 
around  and  aid  him  to  pais  wind  by 
rubbing  the  belly  with  wiBps  of  hay  or 
straw.  If  gas  accumulates  to  such  an 
extent  that  it  is  necessary  to  puncture 
the  intestines,  use  a  trocar  and  canula. 
This  instrument  is  boiled  for  five  minuteB 
or  more  and  when  cool  is  introduced  into 
the  intestines  on  the  right  side  of  the 
horse  in  the  center  of  the  triangle  formed 
by  the  hip  bone,  laBt  rib  and  the  bones 
running  at  right  angleB  at  the  back  bone. 


Summer    Care    oi    the    Milch  Cow. 


A  point  in  the  summer  care  of  the 
milch  cow  that  is  of  vital  importance  and 
which  is  very  frequently  overlooked  is 
that  of  keeping  her  up  to  her  normal  flow 
of  milk.  It  is  an  oft-proved  fact  that  the 
cow  which  is  allowed  to  shrink  for  want 
of  sufficient  feed  or  protection  from  heat 
and  flies  cannot  be  brought  back  to  her 
normal  flow  when  these  adverse  con- 
ditions are  passed  and  good  feed  and 
favorable  conditions  are  again  supplied, 
writes  Prof.  Van  Norman  in  Orange  Jucld 
Farmer.  If  ehe  is  allowed  to  shrink  four 
or  five  pounds  per  day  for  days  or  weeks 
at  a  time,  good  feed  may  increase  this  a 
pound  or  two,  but  it  will  not  bring  it 
b-ck  to  the  former  mark. 

This  fact  emphasizes  the  importance  of 
something  to  supplement  the  scant  pas- 
ture in  the  summer  time.  It  will  pav  to 
plant  a  little  early  sweet  corn,  to  be  fol- 
lowed by  the  regular  field  corn.  Often 
where  there  is  plenty  of  6ilo  capacity, 
there  will  be  silage  left  from  the  winter 
feeding.  This,  if  left  nndisturbed,  will 
mold  on  the  surface,  but  when  pasture 
gets  short  this  bad  layer  can  be  thrown 
off  and  the  silage  is  ready  for  use.  It  is 
important  at  this  season  of  the  year  that 
at  least  two  inches  be  removed  every  day, 
as  the  warm  weather  causes  a  very  rapid 
fermentation  and  sour  ailage  is  not  a 
desirable  food. 

If  it  is  possible  to  provide  a  dark  shed, 
where  the  cowe  may  go  in  the  middle  of 
the  day  and  avoid  the  sun  and  flies,  it  iB 
a  most  profitable  provision.  Most  dairy- 
men find  it  desirable  to  continue  the 
grain  ration  throughout  the  summer,  re- 
ducing the  quantity  when  the  grass  is 
flush  and  lessening  the  proportion  of  corn 
and  other  healing  feeds. 

Most  cow  ownerB  have  something  on 
the  farm  which  they  can  feed  to  supple- 
ment pasture.  The  important  thing  is  to 
do  it.  Do  not  allow  the  ccwe  to  shrink, 
as  a  shrinkage  of  two  or  three  pounds  a 
day  is  not  merely  a  Iobs  for  the  time 
being,  but  ia  very  much  less  throughout 
the  remainder  of  the  season.  Make  your 
plans  now  to  prevent  this  loss.  Have  a 
patch  of  corn  where  it  is  the  least  trouble 
to  get  it  to  the  cowb.  Everyone  can  at 
least  do  this. 


Capons  May  Be  Easily  Grown. 

No  one  is  better  situated  to  raise  capons 
than  the  farmer.  On  the  average  farm 
the  additional  work  required  to  raise  from 
100  to  200  capons  would  not  be  noticed, 
and  most  of  this  work  can  be  attended  to 
in  the  winter  when  time  is  plentiful  with 
the  farmer. 

In  the  neighborhood  of  Fairbury,  111.,  a 
great  many  capons  are  raised  every  year, 
and  are  found  to  be  very  profitable.  There 
are  many  stories  told  about  the  sizes  to 
which  capons  grow,  while  the  truth  is 
that  the  ordinary  capon  will  grow  to  but 
one  or  two  pounds  more  than  the  ordinary 
uncaponized  cockerel  would  in  the  same 
time,  and  to  secure  this  additional  weight 
extra  feeding  is  necesBary. 

In  preparation  for  capon  raising  it  is 
wise  to  hatch  about  twice  the  number  of 
chickens  aa  capon  desired,  for  fully  half 
are  likely  to  be  pullets.  The  pullets  may 
be  kept  for  egg  production  or  may  be  sold 
for  spring  chickens,  thus  securing  enough 
money  to  pay  for  the  raising  of  the  whole 
flock  up  to  the  time  the  cockerels  are  old 
to  caponize- — which  is  about  twelve  weeks. 

The  operation  of  caponizing  does  not 
require  much  skill,  though  the  beginner 
will  pr  bably  kill  two  or  three  at  the 
start,  which  will  not  be  lost,  for  they 
bleed  to  death  in  about  the  same  time  as 
if  their  throats  had  been  cut,  and  are 
exactly  as  good  for  table  purposes  as  if 
bled  in  the  latter  way.  A  set  of  tools  for 
caponizing  costs  from  $1.50  to  $2,  and  with 
each  set  is  sent  directions  that  anyone 
can  follow. 

After  the  caponizing  the  cockerels  be- 
come quiet  and  docile,  and  when  fed  they 
eat  their  fill  and  sit  quietly  around  until 
feeding  time  again.  Capons  always  retain 
that  Bweetness  and  juciness  of  flesh 
that  is  characteristic  of  the  spring  chicken 
the  reason  why  they  bring  such  high 
prices.  They  are  fed  much  as  other  fowls 
would  be,  only  eating  more.  About  all 
they  eat  goes  to  the  formation  of  juicy, 
palatable  flesh.  They  are  ready  to  sell 
February  lBt,  and  the  demand  for  them 
keeps  up  as  long  aB  they  can  be  bought. 

A  few  years  ago  capons  commanded 
hardly  any  attention  in  the  west,  and 
do  not  yet  bring  the  prices  they  do  in  the 
Eastern  cities.  A9  the  average  Plymouth 
Rock  capon  will  weigh  seven  or  eight 
pounds,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  capon  sells 
for  from  40  to  50  cents  more  than  the 
chicken  of  the  same  age,  and  the  differ- 
ence in  the  cost  of  raising  is  insignificant.

Hens  Need  Lime. 


Finish  for  the  Block. 


By  proper  finish  in  an  animal  of  any 
kind  we  mean  that  the  muacles  of  it  have 
been  properly  and  extensively  enough 
expanded  to  warrant  good  returns  when 
cooked.  If  the  animal  is  only  "warmed 
up"  with  feed,  but  not  finished,  we  are 
likely  to  find  the  cells  of  the  muscles  very  - 
flaccid,  and  when  cooked  resulta  will 
show  a  decided  losa  due  to  the  evapora- 
tion of  water,  says  Kimball's  Dairy 
Farmer.  If,  however,  the  animal  ia  over- 
fattened  another  condition  preBentB  itself. 
The  cells  now  are  expanded,  and  among, 
them  are  laid  large  flakes  -of  fat.  So  ex- 
tenBive  are  these  that  in  cooking  a  great 
loss  here  also  occurB.  TMb  Iobb  ie  not  due 
to  that  of  water,  but  of  oil.  The  meat 
from  such  a  piece,  in  addition  to  being 
extremely  rich,  producing  nauseating 
affectB  in  some  cases  when  eaten  often, 
tends  to  become  stringy. 

The  hog  when  properly  finished  ia 
firmer  than  before  or  after  that  point  has 
been  reached.  To  tell  just  when  it  ia 
attained  requires  Borne  experience,  but  it 
can  be  done  wfth  great  Bkill  after  a  little 
training.  A  great  many  buyers  are  not 
discriminating  against  improperly  fin1 
iehed  hogs,  so  much  as  one  might  expect, 
but  a  nickel  to  fifteen  cents  per  hundred 
weight  is  not  unusual.  If  we  were  to 
make  cuts  in  prices  auch  as  we  are  war. 
ranted  in  making  after  having  observed 
the  resulta  of  the  cooking  test,  they  would 
in  all  probability,  be  much  heavier  thai 
those  indicated  above  by  two  or  thref 
times. 

The  time  is  fast  approaching  whei 
finish  will  cut  as  much  figure  as  quality 
in  fact,  part  of  the  discriminations  tha 
are  now  laid  againat  quality  are  in  realit; 
laid  againat  finish.  The  time  to  learn  i 
before  the  war  haa  begun.  A  mon 
opportune  time  than  now  cannot  b< 
found. 


No  one  iB  bo  well  situated  to  raise 
thoroughbred  fowls  as  the  farmer.  Plenty 
of  room,  plenty  of  fresh  air,  plenty  of 
green  stuff  in  summer  and  clover  and 
waste  vegetables  in  winter,  are  advantages 
he  has  over  half  the  fanciers.  He  can 
raiee  his  fowls  cheaper,  keep  them  cheaper 
and  they  will  be  larger,  hardier  and  more 
vigorous  than  those  of  the  breeder  who 
muet  keep  both  his  old  and  young  stock 
in  contracted  quarters  the  year  around. 

Sponges.    S.  Adderley,  307  Market  St 


Hens  that  get  bo  crazy  for  egg  shells 
usually  have  been  improperly  fed  and 
they  crave  lime. 

Hens  in  their  natural  state  produce 
very  few  eggs  and  require  little  lime  for 
the  manufacture  of  shells.  By  careful 
breeding,  conditions  have  been  arbitrarily 
changed  until  a  good  hen  will  now  pro- 
duce eix  times  her  own  weight  in  egga 
during  the  year.  It  takes  considerable 
lime  to  make  shells  for  so  many  eggs  and 
unless  this  ia  provided  for,  the  hens 
acquire  an  abnormal  appetite  and  will 
eat  egg  sheila  or  anything  else  that  will 
aatisfy  them. 

Hens  that  have  once  acquired  the  habit 
are  difficult  to  handle  afterwards  because 
they  never  forget.  Unless  hens  are  extra 
valuable  probably  the  easiest  way  out  of 
it  is  to  take  their  heads  off;  then  be  care- 
ful about  feeding  the  pullets  that  are 
coming  on  to  take  their  places. 


Contrary  to  general  impression,  the 
fewer  eggs  a  hen  lays,  the  more  are  they 
likely  to  be  infertile,  if  we  can  judge 
anything  from  experiments  carried  on  at 
the  Maine  station.  There  an  attempt 
was  made  to  breed  downward  in  egg 
yield  as  well  as  upward.  The  experi- 
menters were  surprised  at  finding  an  un- 
looked  for  obstacle  namely,  the  infertility 
of  the  eggs  from  hena  producing  the 
fewest.

Time  to  Market  Swine. 


It  requires  nice  judgment  to  determine 
when  pige  have  reached  the  profitable 
limit.  The  original  cost  of  pigs,  their 
rate  of  development  and  the  cost  of  feed 
all  have  to  be  taken  into  consideration. 
Sometimes  it  is  better  to  sell  pigs  at  six 
months  of  age,  at  other  times  the  increase 
in  weight  is  profitable  up  to  nine  or  ten 
months.  As  the  age  increases  additional 
weight  is  made  at  an  increased  cost  and 
this  increase  is  proportionate  to  the  age  of 
the  pig.  The  greatest  gain  in  proportion 
to  cost  is  made  during  the  first  four  or 
five  weeks  of  the  pig's  life,  as  the  pigs  are 
at  that  time  supported  almost  entirely  by 
the  sow.  Generally  speaking  when  other 
pigs  are  coming  on  to  take  their  place  it 
is  better  to  dispose  of  the  porkers  at  about 
eight  months.  The  cost  is  greater  each 
month  whether  the  growth  of  the  pig  is 
rapid  or  Blow.

Our  South  American  agricultural 
neighbors  are  learning  the  value  of  for- 
eign markets  and  availing  themselves  of 
them  more  and  more  each  year.  Argen- 
tine is  breeding  up  her  cattle  to  a  stand- 
ard that  threatens  more  dangerous  com- 
petition to  our  own  in  foreign  markets

It  has  been  known  that  a  good  cow  has 
become  a  mediocre,  because  of  a  change 
of  masters  and  milkers.  One  loved  the 
cow  and  the  work,  the  other  had  no  taste 
for  either.  The  cow  felt  the  difference 
and  would  not  respond.

This  Truck  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  the  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  pillages  and  small  cities.

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  July  15,  1905. 

BREEDERS  OF  HARNESS  HORSES  on  the  Pa- 
cific Coast,  those   who   have  money  invested  in 
stallions,    brood    mares  and   stock   farms,  should    be 
active  in   tbe  promotion  of  harness  meetings.    They 
are  the  ones  most  concerned  in  keeping   up  the  inter- 
est in  harness  horses,  either  for  road  or  track  use,  as 
this  interest  is  the  main  cause  of  maintaining  values 
and   keeping  them  at  a  profitable  point.    It  is  the 
reputation  for  speed   and  gameness  which  his  get  ob- 
tain in  races  that  causes  the  produce  of  a  stallion  to 
sell  for  good   values  at  private  sale  and  in  the  auction 
ring,  and   therefore  every   stallion   owner  should  do 
everything  in  his  power  to  promote  race  meetings 
wherever  they  are  held  according  to  recognized  rules. 
There  are  thirty  counties  in  California  that  6hould 
have  harness  meetings  every  year,  and  if  the  trotting 
horse  breeders  who   reside  in  those  counties  would 
only  display  a  reasonable  amount  of  energy   and   en- 
terprise, there  would   be  a  California  circuit  which 
for  class  and  number  of  horses  could   not   be  equaled 
by  more  than  two  or  three  States  in  the  Union.    The 
day  of  the  big  stock  farm  has  almost  passed   and   the 
small  breeders  are  the  ones  that  must  supply  the 
mirkets  in  the  future.     It  does  not  matter  how  much 
money  one  of  these  smaller  breeders   has  invested  in 
his   stallions    and    mares,    unless     -he    produce    of 
his    farm   can    show    speed    on    the   training   track 
or   in    races   there    will    be    no    demand    for    them 
beyond   that  of  road   and  carriage  use,  and   unless 
meetings  are  numerous  and  a  good   California  circuit 
organized,  there  will  be   few   owners   who   will  train 
after  purchase.     It  is  only  the  exceptional  horse  that 
will  be  taken  across  the  Rocky  Mountains  to  be  raced. 
Without  a  circuit  of  meetings  the  vast  majority   of 
trotting  bred  colts  will  only  be  broken  and   used   for 
road  or  other  working  purposes  and  racing  and    rec- 
ords will  be  unknown  to  them.     Consignments  to  the 
big  auctions  will  not  be  profitable  for  breeders,  as 
horses  without  known  speed    or   whose   relatives  are 
not  showing  speed,  will  not  bring  the  high  prices.    It 
is  the   few   erackerjaeks    that    sell  for    large  sums 
and  that  make  the  average  price   of  a  consignment 
high    and    profitable.      Without    speed    contests    to 
prove  to  the  world  the  qualities  of  the  trotters  and 
pacers    on    the    farms,    breeders    may    as    well    quit 
breeding  for  speed  as  there  will   be  no  use  nor  de- 
mand for  it.    There  is  a  general  complaint  in  Cali- 
fornia that  the  breeding  done  this  year  was  far  less 
than  last  year's  record,  and  this  state  of  affairs  can 
be  directly  attributed  to  the  falling  off  in  the  number 
of  fairs  and  race  meetingB  since  the  agricultural  dis- 
tricts were  refused  aid  by  the  State.     If  breeders  de- 
sire a  revivalin  breeding,  and  also  of  the  interest  once 
displayed  in  harness  racing  they  must  do  something 
themselves  to  promote  them.    A  great  meeting  closed 
last  week  at  Los  Angeles.    It  has  attracted  the  atten- 
tion of  horsemen  all  over  the  country   to   the  horses 
that  obtained  records  and  to  the  stallionB  and  mares 
that  produced  them.     The  winning  of  the  three-year- 
old   trot   by   Princess   Louise  wherein   she  gained  a 
record  of  2:19,  has  done  mote  to  prove  to  the  public 
that  Coronado  2:12i  will  be  a  great  producer,  than  all 
the  hot  air  about  him  that   could  be   blown   through 
newspapers    and     other     advertising     mediums    for 
months.     It  is  purses  won   and    records  made  by  his 
colts  that  makes  a  stallion  valuable.    It  is  the  excite- 
ment and  pleasure  of  racing  and    the  expectation   of 
winning  that  causes  men  to  pay  out  money  for  service 
fees,  training,   harness,   bikeB,   shoeing  and  feed.    It 
is  money  hungup  in  purses  that  makes  the  horses  go 
and  keeps  up  the  breeding  business,  and  unless  those 
who  have  money  invested  in  stallions,  mares  and  stock 
farms  see  to  it  that  more  meetings  are  given,  they 
will  find  that  their  property  is  lessening  in   value. 
There  is  an  old  saying  and  a  true  one  that   the  good 
Lord  doeB  not  help  those  who  do  not  help  themselves. 


IN  THE  DEATH  of  Blaine  S.  McMahan,  the 
1  Breeder  and  Sportsman  has  lost  from  his  staff 
one  of  the  brightest  minds  that  ever  guided  a  pen  to 
furnish  news  for  its'  columns.  He  had  been  connected 
with  the  journal  since  the  first  of  March  this  year, 
and  from  the  day  he  first  entered  the  office  his  genial 
personality,  his  frank  open  manner  and  a  deep 
interest  in  his  work  made  him  esteemed  and 
loved  by  his  associates.  He  was  a  great  lover  of 
horses  and  being  a  close  observer  his  descriptions  of 
them  and  their  contests  were  accurate  and  fair,  his 
big,  generous  heart  never  permitting  his  pen  to  indite 
harsh  criticisms  or  unkind  words  of  anyone.  He  was 
a  young  man,  about  25  years  or  age,  of  handsome  form 
and  feature,  with  a  cheery  disposition  and  laughing 
eye  that  banished  care  and  sorrow  from  every  group 
of  which  he  was  a  member.  Yet  he  was  not  frivolous 
in  the  least,  but  of  an  earnest,  cheerful,  hopeful, 
happy  nature,  honest  and  faithful  to  every  trust,  a 
wholesome,  hearty,  lovable  young  man.  He  came  of 
excellent  stock,  his  father  the  late  Dr.  McMahan 
having  been  for  many  years  a  practicing  physician  and 
leading  citizen  of  Rushville,  Indiana,  and  his  heart- 
broken and  widowed  mother  and  loving  sister  now 
reside  in  Indianapolis,  where  he  "grew  up1'  as  it  were 
in  the  office  of  Thi  Western  Horseman,  and  was  regu- 
larly employed  there  until  he  came  to  California  last 
winter.  It  is  an  awful  thiDg  for  a  bright  and  promis- 
ing young  man  to  be  taken  by  death  from  a  loving 
mother,  but  when  cut  down  so  suddenly  and  so  far 
from  home,  the  blow  is  doubly  terrible  and  severe. 
Blaine  McMahan  had  made  hundreds  of  acquaintances 
since  coming  to  this  State,  and  from  each  and  every 
one  there  will  go  out  to  that  mother  and  Bister  in  far 
off  Indiana,  the  deepest  sympathy  that  can  be  felt  by 
human  hearts  for  their  awful  and  irreparable  loss. 
May  a  kind  Providence  sustain  them  in  the  hours  of 
their  deep  affliction  and  the  knowledge  be  some  com- 
fort to  them  that  their  manly  son  and  brother  so 
endeared  himself  to  those  he  met  during  his  short  life 
out  here  by  the  sunset  sea.  that  they  deeply  and 
sincerely  mourn  his  death  and  will  always  hold  in  fond 
remembrance  their  acquaintance  with  one  who  by  bis 
noble  attributes  had  earned  their  highest  respect  and 
esteem. 


A  SALE  OP  HORSES  of  more  than  usual  merit 
*»  will  be  held  by  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  (successors 
to  Killip  &  Co.)  at  their  salesyard,  1732  Market  street, 
this  city,  during  the  evening  of  July  24th.  These 
horse6  are  consigned  by  two  breeders — the  Occidental 
Land  and  Improvement  Company  of  Sharon,  and 
Mr.  C.  E.  Needham  of  Bellota.  The  first  named  has 
used  the  stallions  Teheran  2:24  and  Ilderim  in  breed- 
ing harness  horses,  selecting  them  for  the  fine  con- 
formation, style  and  action,  and  mating  them  with 
mares  of  the  same  qualities  and  that  showed  speed. 
They  have  been  very  successful,  and  the  horses  to  be 
sold  are  well  proportioned,  handsome  young  animals. 
Mr.  Needham  has  loog  been  a  breeder  of  fine  horses, 
his  mares  nearly  all  being  of  Morgan  stock,  which  is 
now  more  popular  than  ever  with  breeders.  He  has 
used  the  stallions  Steve  Whipple  2:12,  Directed  (a  son 
of  the  great  Director  2:17  out  of  the  dam  of  Steve 
Whipple)  and  Guy  McKinney,  one  of  the  best  bred 
McKinneys  living.  There  are  several  colts  in  the 
consignment  well  entered  in  stakes — one  of  them  in 
$57,000  worth,  another  in  $10,000  worth.  Send  to 
Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.,  1732  Market  street,  for  a

Horrible  and  Fatal  Accident. 


Last  Wednesday  evening  at  9:50  o'clock  Blaine  S. 
McMahan,  formerly  of  the  Western  Horseman,  Indl  n- 
apolis,  but  during  the  past  four  months  associate

Fresno,  and  Willard  Zibbell,  ton  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J. 
W.  Zibbell  of  this  city  was  so  terribly  injured  that 
one  foot  and  both  hands  had  to  be  amputated.  The 
following  account  of  this  dreadful  accident  is  from 
the  Fresno  Republican  of  Thursday  morning: 

"The  accident  in  all  of  its  circumstances  is  a  sicken- 
ing one.  The  two  young  men  were  around  town  during 
the  evening  chatting  with  friends  and  assisting  in  the 
preparations  for  the  meet  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders  Association  next  week.  But  a 
few  minutes  before  the  time  of  the  accident,  they  had 
visited  the  editoral  rooms  of  the  Republican,  where 
McMahan  had  left  an  article  descriptive  of  some  of 
the  horses  that  are  to  race  here,  which  article  appears 
in  another  part  of  this  paper.  They  then  went  down 
to  the  station  to  look  into  the  matter  of  the  arrival  of 
some  of  the  horseB  in  which  Zibbell  was  interested.  A 
few  minutes  later,  their  friends  learned  that  McMahan 
was  a  mangled  corpse,  and  that  his  companion  was 
maimed  and  crushed  almost  beyond  hope  of  recovery. 

The  accident  occurred  at  9:50  o'clock:.  No  witnesses 
to  the  occurrence  have  been  found  except  the  mem- 
bers of  the  switching  crew.  Yard  Master  Crowley  for 
them  has  given  out  the  following  statement  of  what 
happened: 

The  switch   engine   with   Engineer  Lawrence  and 


Engine  Foreman  Williams  was  coming  north  between 
Kern  and  Tulare  streets,  propelling  three  box  cars. 
The  engineer  was  in  the  cao,  and  Williams  was  oh  the 
forward,  end  of  the  leadiag  car,  waving  a  lantern.  As 
they  came  to  Tulare  street,  he  notfcea  two  men  start 
to  cross  the  track  just  in  front  of  hid),  and  he  shouted 
to  them  to  look  out.  They  seemed  to  pay  no  heed, 
and  he  thought  they  would  miss  the  car,  but  kept 
shouting  until  he  could  almost  touch  them.  The 
train  was  going  at  about  four  miles  an  hour. 

At  the  instant  the  men  were  struck,  the  signal  for 
stopping  was  given,  and  the  engine  came  to  a  stand- 
still in  thirty  feet.  The  men  had  been  dragged  under 
the  wheels,  and  the  whole  length  of  the  car  passed 
over  them  before  they  were  rescued  from  under  the 
car  by  the  trainmen. 

Word  was  sent  for  Dr.  J.  L.  Maupin,  who  is  the 
local  surgeon  for  the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  who 
came  at  once,  and  ordered  an  ambulance  'or  the  car- 
rying of  Zibbell  to  the  Burnett  Sanitarium.  It  was 
seen  that  McMahan  had  died  instantly,  and  a  little 
later,  the  remainB  were  taken  to  the  morgue  at 
Stephens  &  Bean. 

At  the  time  of  the  accident,  two  fellow  turfmen  of 
Zibbell's  were  at  the  depot,  J.  R.  Alberteon  and  A.  L 
McDonald,  and  they  ran  with  other  people  to  the 
6cene.  Arriving  there  they  saw  Zibbell  propped  up 
against  a  box,  and  recognized  him  from  his  voice. 
He  was  conscious  but  groaning  with  terrible  pain. 

His  first  words  were,  "I  am  all  shot  to  pieces — how 
is  Mac,"  referring  to  McMahan. 

He  was  comforted  with  the  assurance  that  his  com- 
panion escaped. 

Albertson  and  McDonald  accompanied  Zibbell  to  the 
sanitarium  and  on  the  way  up  he  again  inquired  for 
McMahan.  This  time  he  was  told  that  McMahan 
was  about  as  bad  off  as  he  was,  and  Zibbell  then 
seemed  to  realize  bis  companion's  fate  ana  asked  for 
him  no  more. 

At  the  sanitarium  he  lamented  the  fact  that  his 
racing  days  were  over,  just  as  he  had  begun  to  obtain 
distinction.  He  implored  his  companions  not  to 
allow  the  doctors  to  cut  off  his  arm. 

Zibbell's  injuries  make  his  recovery  extremely  un- 
likely. His  left  arm  was  broken  and  mangled  so  that 
it  had  to  be  amputated;  his  right  shoulder  was 
crushed  and  his  back  bruised;  his  right  hand  was 
crushed  and  must  be  taken  off  today;  one  foot  was 
ground  off.  There  were  no  severe  internal  injuries. 
Despite  the  terrible  margliDg  he  maintainea  con- 
sciousness, and  bore  up  with  remarkable  bravery. 

Before  submitting  to  an  anesthetic  he  asked  to  have 
hisfatherand  mothersentforand  hissister,,Georgie." 

McMahan's  body  was  horribly  mangled  from  tbe 
chest  downward.  Tbe  upper  part  of  the  trunk  and 
the  head  were  comparatively  little  injured.  The 
only  injury  to  the  face  was  a  bruise  under  one  eye. 
The  aims  were  not  hurt  except  for  the  crushing  of 
the  right  band. 

Willard  Zibbell  is  the  son  of  J.  W.  Zibbell,  the 
veteran  driver,  whose  home  is  at  No.  672  Eleventh 
avenue,  San  Francisco  -Th<>  young  man  is  about  26 
years  of  age  and  followed  his  father's  career.  In  con- 
versation with  a  Republican  reporter  an  hour  or  so 
before  the  accident  he  laughingly  remarked  that  he 
was  reared  on  a  race  track,  being. around  horses  all 
his  life. 

For  the  last  two  years  he  has  been  driving  and  is 
spoken  of  by  horsemen  as  a  very  promising  man.  He 
brought  a  string  of  five  horses  nere  to  race  next  week 
among  them  being  a  green  horse  with  which  he  won 
a  great  race  in  Los  Angeles  last  week*. 

McMahan  was  a  very  gentlemanly  young  man  who 
mide  friends  with  every  one  he  met  He  was  assistant 
secretary  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders 
Association  and  was  in  Fresno  working  up  interests  in 
the  race  meet.  Before  the  Los  Angeles  meetiDg  he 
spent  about  a  week  here  and  returned  last  Monday. 
He  was  a  sporting  writer  on  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  and  an  unusually  capable  man  in  bis  line. 

In  a  conversation  witb  a  Republicaii  reporter  several 
days  ago,  McMahan  remarked  that,  he  thought  be 
had  a  charme'"  life,  as  he  had  been  in  several  railroad 
accidents  and  had  escaped  each  time  without  a 
scratch.  In  one  accident  he  was  the  only  man  in  the 
car  he  was  in  t:>  escape." 


At  ten  o'clock  Friday  morning  Willard  Zibbell  was 
still  living  and  the  attending  physicians  gave  strong 
hopes  of  his  recovery.  He  has  lost  both  hands  and 
one  foot,  but  his  strong  physique  and  rugged  health 
have  thus  far  enabled  him  to  resist  the  terribleBhock. 

Willard  Zibbell  has  been  considered  one  of  the  most 
promidng  young  horsemen  on  this  Coast.  He  is  a 
tall,  handsome  young  man  about  twenty-five  years  of 
age  and  a  born  horseman.  A  "home  boy"  of  excellent 
habits,  straightforward  and  upright  in  his  dealings, 
he  is  the  idol  of  bis  father,  mother  and  sister  with 
whom  he  resided.  As  a  trainer  of  harness  horses  he 
was  meeting  with  great  success,  and  bis  winning  of 
the  2:24  class  trot  at  Los  Angeles  on  the  last  day  of 
the  meeting  with  Adam  G.  2:14}  was  looked  upon  by 
all  his  friends  as  the  beginning  of  a  bright  career  for 
bim  as  trainer  and  driver.  His  father  refused  $8000 
for  the  horse  the  same  day,  intending  that  Willard 
should  take  the  McKinney  gelding  through  the 
Grand  Circuit  next  year.  Mr.  aad  Mrs.  Zibbell  and 
daughter  are  with  the  son  at  Fresno,  having  been 
summoned  right  after  the  accident  and  are  doing 
everything  and  having  everything  done  that  medical 
science  and  tender  care  can  do  to  relieve  his  suffer- 
ings. No  braver  young  man  ever  lived  than  Willard 
Zibbell,  and  his  thoughts  immediately  after  and  6ince 
the  accident  have  been  of  his  dead  companion  aDd  his 
own  sorrowing  family  rather  than  of  himself.  We 
extend  tbe  sincerest  sympathy  to  the  unfortunate 
young  man  and  his  family  in  their   terrible  aflliction.

CLOSE   AT    LOS    ANGELES.        ^ 

FIFTH  DAY. 

Los  Angeles,  July  7.— This  was  a  day  of  surprises 
at  Agricultural  Park,  as  outsiders  in  the  betting  won 
both  of  the  races  that  were  finished,  and  the  first 
choice  in  the  third  race  seemed  to  be  in  a  bad  way 
when  the  race  was  postponed  on  account  of  darkness. 
The  fun  started  with  the  three-year-old  pacing  race, 
in  whioh  the  two-year-old  colt  Rockaway  was  one  of 
the  starters,  and  the  talent  picked  him  to  win  the 
money  on  the  strength  of  his  good  race  of  Wednes- 
day when  he  took  a  record  of  2:15J  with  comparative 
ease.  He  did  not  keep  his  backers  in  suspense  long 
as  he  was  distanced  in  the  first  heat,  but  in  justice  to 
the  colt  it  might  be  said  that  he  had  all  the  worst  of 
the  argument  and  would  undoubtedly  have  done  bet- 
ter with  an  even  break.  Just  as  the  word  was  given 
in  the  first  heat  he  made  a  break  and  his  driver, 
Jacob  Brelllar,  not  hearing  the  starter  say  "Go!" 
pulled  him  up,  and  before  he  realized  that  the  others 


fm^dMm 


Princess  Louise  (3)  2:19,  b.  f.  by  Coronado  2:124. 

were  on  their  way  scrambling  for  the  money  it  was 
too  late  to  redeem  himself  and  he  finished  behind  the 
flag.  Frank  Wright's  Diablo  filly  Deviletta  won  the 
heat  in  2:14]  after  a  hustling  finish  with  Memonio, 
and  the  former  was  naturally  made  a  favorite  over 
the  remainder  of  the  field.  There  was  a  different 
story  to  tell  in  the  next  heat,  however,  as  Memonio 
was  the  first  one  to  reach  the  wire  after  she  and  Dev- 
iletta had  had  a  lively  journey.  The  time  of  the  sec- 
ond heat  was  only  2:17j,  and  both  of  the  heat-winning 
fillies  seemed  pretty  well  tired,  but  Memonio  stuck  to 
her  business  all  the  time  and  managed  to  win  the  next 
two  heats  with  plenty  to  spare  from  Kinney  Wood. 
Memonio  is  owned  by  Mannie  Reams,  but  was  driven 
by  M.  G  Leggett.  The  Zolock  filly  Kinney  Wood 
paced  a  nice  race  and  was  well  up  at  the  finish  of  the 
last  two  beats. 

The  2:11  pace  was  the  feature  event  of  the  card  and 
eight  sidewheelers  scored  for  the  word,  with  Fred 
Ward's  brown  gelding  Vision  and  the  stallion  Jonesa 
Basler  selling  at  $b  apiece  in  the  auctions  against  $5 
for  the  field.  When  the  word  was  given  for  the  first 
heat  Vision,  Jonesa  Basler  and  Rita  II.  started  out  to 
make  the  pace,  and  they  sailed  down  the  backstretch 
at  a  merry  clip,  reaching  the  half-mile  pole  in  l:02j. 
Here  the  pace  began  to  tell  and  they  slackened  up  a 
little,  and  after  a  hard  drive  throughout  the  last 
quarter  Vision  got  the  verdict  from  the  Basler  horse 
in  2:09',.  These  two  started  out  for  business  again  in 
the  Becond  heat  and  practically  made  a  two-horse  race 
out  of  It,  and  as  they  headed  down  the  stretch  every 
one  was  wondering  which  one  would  win;  but  right 
here  something  happened,  as  J.  D.  Springer  came  out 
of  the  ruck  with  the  chestnut  mare  MiBS  Idaho  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes,  and  after  a  shortargument  near  the 
distance  stand  came  on  and  beat  them  both  in  2:10*. 
From  then  on  there  was  nothing  to  it  but  Miss  Idaho, 
as  Mr.  Springer  was  always  out  In  front  with  her  and 
she  appeared  to  have  quite  a  little  in  reserve  at  the 
end  of  each  heat.  Tidal  Wave  beat  Rita  H.  for  third 
money  after  a  hard  drive  in  the  fourth  heat. 

Pat  Rose  was  an  even  money  favorite  over  the  field 
in  the  2:20  trot,  but  he  was  unable  to  win  a  heat  in 
throe,  and  when  the  race  was  postponed  on  acoount 
of  darkness  his  chances  of  winning  looked  protty  slim. 
He  had  all  his  speed  with  him  to  day,  but  continuous 
and  tiresome  scoring  evidently  oaused  him  to  lose  con- 
fidence In  himself  and  he  made  bad  breaks  in  each 
heat.  The  first  two  heats  went  to  the  black  Zombro 
gelding  Charlie  T.,  driven  by  Al  McDonald,  and  it  le 
doubtful  if  he  should  not  have  had  the  raoe,  bvit  after 
reaching  the  wire  first  on  a  break  in   the  third  heat 


the  judges  awarded   it  to  Ambush,  who  was  a  half 
length  back.    The  summaries:

SIXTH  DAY. 

Los  Angeles,  July  8th— Today  saw  the  close  of 
the  meeting  here  and  one  of  the  biggest  crowds 
of  the  week  saw  the  racing.  The  feature  of  the 
cird  waB  the  special  $600  purse  and  a  silver  cup 
for  the  free-for-all  pacers  and  it  proved  a  very 
interesting  race,  although  Zolock  took  down  the 
lion's  share  of  the  purse  without  extending  himself  to 
the  limit.  Kelly  BriggB  and  Edwin  S.  were  the  only 
other  starters,  and  before  the  first  heat  Zolock 
brought  $10  in  the  auctions  against  $4  for  the  field,  so 
it  will  be  seen  that  his  victory  was  a  popular  one  for 
the  bettors  who  like  to  play  the  sure  thing  kind. 
There  wasn't  very  much  excitement  about  the  first 
two  heats  as  Zolock  was  always  out  in  the  lead  and 
won  from  Kelly  Briggs,  and  then  Edwin  S.  in  2:07  and 
2:08  respectively.  In  the  third  heat  things  went 
along  in  the  same  old  way  until  they  were  headed  into 
the  stretch  and  Zolock  seemed  to  have  the  race  well 
in  hand  but  Chadbourne  came  along  next  to  the  rail 
with  a  rush  with  Edwin  S.  and  at  the  distance  stand 
was  at  Zolock 's  wheel  and  seemingly  with  a  possible 
chance  to  win  but  Delaney  took  Zolock  over  toward 
the  pole  far  enough  to  keep  Edwin  S.  from  coming 
through  and  led  to  the  wire  by  about  a  length  in 
2:08.  After  deliberating  quite  a  while  the  judges 
placed  Zolock  last  for  fouling  Edwin  S.  and  gave  the 
heat  to  the  last  named  pacer,  but  the  decision  had  no 
effect  on  the  result  of  the  race  as  Zolock  came  right 
back  again  in  2:08J,  letting  Edwin  S.'down  with 
second  money  and  third  for  Kelly  Briggs.  Edwin  S. 
paced  a  very  clever  race,  although  he  was  hardly  up 
to  a  hard  proposition  like  this,  and  Bhowed  that  he 
will  be  a  hard  horse  to  beat  in  a  week  or  bo. 

About  the  sleekest  green  trotter  that  has  come  to 
town  lately  was  turned  loose  by  Willard  Zibbell  in 
the  2:24  trot  when  he  won  the  money  in  straight  heats 
with  the  bay  gelding  Adam  G.  This  horse  has  been 
pretty  well  touted  all  spring  and  was  a  red  hot  favorite 
in  the  auctions  but  he  had  never  been  started  in  a 
race  and  it  remained  to  be  seen  what  he  would  do  in 
company.  Suffice  to  say  he  made  good  in  a  manner 
that  was  emphatic  and  although  he  did  not  have  to 
go  very  faBt,  several  old  horsemen  who  saw  the  race 
were  enthusiastic  enough  to  6ay  that  2:08  will  not 
stop  him.  When  the  word  was  given  for  the  first 
heat  the  field  was  sent  away  with  Adam  G.  taking  the 
dust  from  the  whole  bunch  but  this  did  not  seem   to 


in  the  2:14  trot  and  taking  into  consideration  his  good 
race  of  Wednesday  figured  to  win  the  money  which 
he  did  quite  handily  in  straight  heats.  It  was  one  of 
the  best  betting  races  of  the  meeting  and  all  kinds  of 
wild  plungeB  were  made  during  the  progress  of  the 
event,  first  on  Una  K.  then  on  Lady  Madison  and 
again  on  the  white  gelding  Rozelle  but  the  only  time 
when  he  seemed  to  be  in  difficulty  waB  at  the  finish  of 
the  second  heat  when  Rozelle  brought  him  down  to  a 
head  finish  in  2:13t,  which  was  the  best  time  made 
during  the  race.  In  the  other  heats  the  white  gelding 
went  into  the  air  at  times  when  he  seemed  to  have  a 
"look  in."  Lady  Madison  had  as  much  speed  as  any- 
thing in  the  party  but  evidently  was  not  at  herself 
and  refused  to  stand  a  drive  when  called  upon.  Una  K. 
was  also  erratic  and  the  others  didn't  call  for  much.

Santa  Rosa  Driving  Club. 

An  enthusiastic  meeting  of  horsemen  was  held  at 
Santa  Rosa  last  Tuesday  evening  and  temporary  or- 
ganization of  a  new  driving- club  was  effected.  Mr. 
P.  H.  Quinn  was  called  to  the  chair,  Mr.  Walter  C. 
Nolan  was  elected  Secretary  and  Mr.  W.  E.  Healey 
treasurer.  Chairman  Quinn  waB  authorized  to  ap- 
point a  oommittee  of  fifteen  on  membership  and 
organization,  and  Frank  S.  Turner,  Henry  Carlton 
and  Fred  J.  Yandle  were  appointed  a  committee  on 
by-lawB.  It  it  proposed  to  give  matinee  and  regular 
racing  on  the  famous  Santa  Rosa  Farm  track,  which 
is  one  of  the  best  appointed  and  fastest  In  California.

Gil  Curry  and  Myron  McHenry,  who  left  the  trot- 
ters some  time  ago  for  the  runners,  are  hack  with  the 
harness  brigade  again,  and  it  will  probably  not  be 
long  before  Scott  Hudson  will  be  looking  for  a  few 
"prospects"  and  pumping  up  the  tires  of  his  old  bikes. 


Now  for  Fresno. 


The  track  is  very  fast. 


And  the  program  a  good  one. 


Breeders  meeting  opens  there  on  Wednesday  next. 


All  the  fast  pacers  and   trotters  will  start  during 
the  meeting.  

The  fastest  new   trotter  of  the  year  is  Pat  Rosa 
2:121  by  Falrose.  

The  average  time  for  the  seventy-three  heats  trot- 
ted and  paced  at  Los  Angeles  last  week  was  2:j - ' . 


Sixteen  heats  were  paced  in  from  2:10  to  2:06  at  the 
Los  Angeles  meeting,  which  is  "going  some"  for  the 
first  meeting  of  the  year. 


Woodland  Daisy,  a  three-year-old  filly  by  Nazote, 
took  a  record  of  2:21}  in  the  second  heat  of  a  pacing 
race  at  Parsons,  Kansas,  June  22d. 


An  opportunity  to  get  a  good  sulky,  speed  cart, 
road  cart,  harness,  boots,  blankets,  etc.,  is  offered  by 
the  Peart  sale  at  Colusa,  August  9th. 


The  great  question  with  the  horsemen  in  California 
now  is:  "Can  they  beat  Zolock  at  Fresno  or  Santa 
Rosa,  or  make  him  beat  his  mark  of  2:06?" 


William  Leach,  the  well  known  auctioneer  of  Marys- 
ville,  will  ask  for  the  bids  at  the  sale  of  Mr.  E.  C. 
Peart's  trotting  bred  horses  at  Colusa,  August  9th. 


The  first  of  the  get  of  Coronado  to  start  in  a  race  is 
the  three-year-old  filly  Princess  Louise  that  won  her 
race  and  took  a  mark  of  2:19  at  Los  Angeles  last  week. 


In  Japan  a  law  has  been  passed  which  provides  for 
the  compulsory  gelding  of  all  two-year-old  Btallions 
not  considered  of  sufficient  quality  for  stud  purposes. 


Zolock  2:06,  besides  reducing  his  record  at  Los 
Angeles,  had  a  new  performer  added  to  his  list  in 
Dixie  a  trotting  filly,  that  took  a  time  record  of  2:26. 


The  meeting  at  Windsor,  which  is  the  "curtain 
raiser"  of  the  Grand  Circuit,  will  open  on  Monday 
next.  There  will  be  a  meeting  at  Columbus  the  same 
week.  

Zephyr  2:11  by  Zomhro  has  worked  to  her  record 
twice  within  the  last  two  weeks,  and  has  shown  no 
signs  of  unsoundness  so  far.  A  lower  record  is  doubt- 
less within  her  reach. 


The  pacers  Bolivar  and  Josie,  both  in  the  EaBt  View 
Farm  stable,  were  worked  out  together  in  2:14}  at 
Empire  track  one  day  last  week,  and  paced  the  last 
quarter  In  30  seconds. 

The  three-year-old  gelding  Buster  Brown  by  Mc- 
Neer,  a  son  of  McKinney  and  out  of  a  mare  by  Dawn, 
that  is  to  be  sold  at  the  Peart  sale  at  Colusa  August 
9th  Is  worth  training  for  the  races. 


James  Butler  is  now  the  sole  owner  of  the  Empire 
City  track  at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.,  he  having  last  week 
purchased  the  Interest  of  Charles  C.  Lloyd,  the  last 
person  to  dispose  of  his  interest  in  the  property. 


Bonnie  Aisle,  the  brown  pacing  mare  by  Faustino, 
that  Walter  Maben  has  been  training  at  Los  Angeles, 
started  during  the  meeting  there  to  heat  her  record 
of  2:13}.  She  knocked  five  seconds  from  it  by  a  mile 
in  2:08}.  

Searchlight  is  now  at  Lexington,  Kentucky,  where, 
it  is  said,  he  will  be  kept  in  the  future  It  is  said  that 
his  owner,  W.  Bronston,  an  Eastern  millionaire,  in- 
tends putting  him  at  the  head  of  a  breeding  stud 
which  he  is  to  establish. 


James  Butler  started  Mamie  R.  2:15}  in  a  matinee 
race  at  Empire  track  June  29tb,  but  she  did  not  win, 
making  a  break  in  eanh  heat.  The  miles  were  in  2:17} 
and  2:16.  The  little  mare  must  be  off,  as  these  are  the 
first  breaks  she  has  made  this  season. 


Nocturno,  the  stallion  by  Alfonso  that  took  a  time 
record  of  2:26  at  Los  Angeles,  will  now  be  shipped  to 
Albany,  Oregon,  where  he  will  make  a  season.  He 
trotted  his  mile  very  nicely  and  can  greatly  reduce 
the  time  If  placed  in  regular  training. 


Six  2:10  performers  at  one  meeting,  and  that  the 
first  of  the  year,  is  a  pretty  good  record  for  any 
country.  Los  AngeleB  holds  this  record,  and  while 
all  are  pacers  the  fact  that  they  paced  sixteen  heats 
in  2:10  or  better  shows  that  they  have  class. 

There  Is  talk  of  a  three  days'  meeting  at  Concord  in 
September.  If  the  managers  of  the  track  will  adver- 
tise a  program  of  harness  races  with  programs  rang- 
ing from  $200  to  $300,  we  have  no  doubt  but  it  would 
fill  and  some  excellent  racing  result.  The  new  Con- 
cord track  is  in  very  good  shape  and  the  people  of 
Contra  Costa  county  are  good  patrons  of  the  sport. 
After  the  State  Fair  is  over  there  will  be  a  large  num- 
ber of  owners  ready  to  race  anywhere  In  central 
California. 


There  are  five  colts  by  John  A.  McKerron  2:04.!  in 
Doc  Tanner's  stable.  They  are  the  four-year-old 
trotter  Harry  McKerron  2:24},  two  three-year-olds, 
two  two-year-olds  and  one  yearling.  They  are  all 
good  sized,  handsome  and  are  all  promising  speed 
prospects.  

The  first  meeting  between  Tiverton  and  Sweet 
Marie  will  come  off  next  week  at  Philadelphia.  The 
gelding  is  in  fine  shape  and  trotted  a  mile  in  2:13  last 
week,  with  the  last  quarter  in  29}  seconds.  Sweet 
Marie  has  been  a  mile  in  2:08,  half  in  1 :02  and  a  quar- 
ter in  30  seconds. 

Dr.  J.  W.  Hammond  of  Byron,  who  never  drives 
anything  but  a  good  road  horse,  and  has  bred  quite  a 
few,  sent  his  mare  Blue  Bells  to  Mr.  J.  D.  Springer's 
highly  bred  stallion  Suomi  this  year  and  believes  her 
to  be  with  foal.  Suomi  is  by  the  great  Zombro  and 
out  of  the  dam  of  Stam  B. 


James  Thompson  drove  John  Caldwell  a  mile  in 
2:08,  with  the  last  half  in  1:03,  at  the  Cleveland  track 
one  day  last  week.  He  looks  and  acts  like  a  money 
winner  Albuta  is  showing  lots  of  speed,  but  Mr. 
Thompson  does  not  like  him  as  he  does  the  Strathway 
gelding,  as  he  is  not  so  reliable. 


The  owner  of  the  pacing  stallion  Daedalion  2:10  has 
so  much  business  to  attend  to  requiring  bis  absence 
from  the  State  more  than  half  the  time  during  the 
summer  racing  season,  that  he  desires  to  sell  this 
elegantly  bred  son  of  Diablo.  He  will  be  priced  right. 
Address  this  office  for  particulars. 


It  is  said  that  Sweet  Marie  can  beat  the  fast  pacer 
Nervolo  2:04}  any  part  of  the  mile  in  their  workouts. 
Those  who  know  how  fast  Nervolo  can  reel  off  an 
eighth  or  a  quarter  can  appreciate  the  speed  of  the 
daughter  of  McKinney.  She  and  Tiverton  2:04}  will 
meet  on  Wednesday  next  at  Philadelphia. 


The  horses  consigned  by  C.  E.  Needbam  to  the 
auction  to  be  held  in  this  city  July  24th  at  Fred  H. 
Chase  &  Co. 's  salesyard  are  sired  by  Steve  Whipple 
2:12,  Directed,  a  son  of  Director,  Guy  McKinney,  a 
son  of  McKinney,  and  Chas.  Derby  2:20.  They  are 
out  of  mares  that  are  full  of  Morgan  blood. 

Lisonjero  2:08}  by  Dexter  Prince  is  trotting  like  a 
2:04  horse  this  year,  and  is  better  gaited  than  ever, 
although  he  had  the  reputation  of  being  the  easiest 
going,  lightest  shod  trotter  on  the  turf  last  season. 
He  won  his  first  start  thiB  year  at  Saugus  two  weeks 
ago  but  did  not  have  to  trot  within  five  seconds  of  his 
record.  

One  of  the  new  rules  of  the  New  York  Driving  Club 
is  that  horses  tied  for  second  or  third  position  in  the 
Bummary  are  awarded  positions  according  to  their 
standing  in  the  faster  heat  of  the  race,  and  it  looks 
like  a  pretty  fair  rule  For  instance,  if  A.'s  positions 
were  2-3  and  B.'s  3-2  and  the  time  was  2:15—2:13,  then 
B   would  be  awarded  second  place  and  A.  third. 


The  State  Fair  harness  races  filled  well  and  a  high 
class  meeting  is  sure  to  result.  The  track  will  be  in 
order  and  the  probabilities  are  that  it  will  he  fast  as 
it  has  been  built  by  Mr.  Allen  the  most  expert  track 
builder  in  America,  and  the  soil  is  a  mixture  of  clay 
and  loam  which  he  claims  iB  just  the  thing  for  a  fast 
and  safe  track  for  training  and  racing.

Good  looks,  size  and  soundMfe  are  the  qualities 
which  the  horses  possess  that  are  consigned  to  the 
sale  at  Chase's  salesyard  Monday  evening  July  24th, 
by  the  Occidental  Land  and  Live  Stock  Association 
of  Sharon,  Cal.  These  horses  are  by  Teheran,  Ilderlm 
and  a  Norman  Btallion.  There  are  fine  roadsters  and 
good  express  horses  in  the  consignment. 


The  free-for-all  pace  at  the  Fresno  meeting  next 
week  has  five  entries  as  follows:  Zolock  2:06,  Edwin 
S  2:08,  Tom  Carneal  2:08},  Kelly  Briggs  2:09',  and 
Daedalion  2:10.  This  will  be  one  of  the  greatest  con- 
tests seen  in  California  in  years,  and  will  he  well  worth 
a  trip  to  Fresno  to  witnesB.  As  the  Fresno  track  is  in 
fine  condition  it  Is  likely  that  the  winner  will  reduce 
his  record. 

AmbuBh,  the  brown  colt  by  Zolock  that  took  a 
record  of  2:16  in  the  third  heat  of  the  2:20  trot  at  Los 
Angeles  is  only  three  yearB  old,  yet  in  this  race  he 
was  pitted  against  aged  horses  and  got  second  money. 
Ambush  took  a  record  of  2:20  as  a  two-year-old  last 
year.  He  looks  like  one  of  the  best  prospects  in  Cali- 
fornia at  the  present  time  for  a  record  of  2:10  as 
a  four-year-old. 

Most  of  the  Importers  who  have  been  active  of  late 
years  and  several  who  have  not  are  at  present  in 
Europe,  buying  stallions  for  the  American  trade  and 
the  general  opinion  is  that  if  the  horses  can  be  bought 
more  will  be  Imported  this  Beason  than  ever  before  in 
any  one  year.  It  Is  believed  that  many  more  Shires, 
Clydesdales  and  SuffolkB  will  be  brought  over  this 
year  than  since  the  lite  eighties. 


Lafe  Shafer  has  resigned  as  trainer  at  Terrace 
Farm,  Titusville,  to  take  a  position  as  assistant  to  Ed 
Geers.  Zpphyr  2:11,  Elegance  by  Dare  Devil,  and 
King  Bardo  by  Sternberg,  all  owned  at  Terrace  Farm, 
and  that  have  been  In  Sharer's  care  at  Memphis  all 
winter,  will  go  into  Geers'  stable. 


Mr.  Devereux,  the  Cleveland  amateur  reinsman,  is 
a  great  judge  of  pace.  Last  week  Mr.  Billings  asked 
him  to  drive  Lou  Dillon  a  mile,  and  requested  that  it 
be  in  about  2:10.  The  mile  was  exactly  in  that  notch. 
Lou  Dillon  and  Major  Delmar  will  be  started  for  a 
cup  at  the  Detroit  meeting.  They  will  probably  not 
be  asked  to  go  better  than  2:05  this  early  In  the  year. 

It  looks  as  if  this  was  to  be  another  McKinney  year. 
The  harness  racing  season  has  not  yet  fairly  opened, 
but  he  has  Charlie  T.  2:14},  Adam  G  2:14},  the  three- 
year-old  Kenneth  C.  2:17  and  Delia  McCarthy  2:20}, 
all  new  trotters  to  his  credit,  while  his  pacing  son 
Zolock  has  reduced  his  record  to  2:06,  which  is  the 
fastest  record  of  the  year.  Tidal  Wave  2:09,  one  of 
the  new  2:10  pacers,  is  out  of  a  daughter  of  McKinney. 

Fourteen  heats  were  trotted  in  2:15  or  better  by  six 
horses  at  Los  Angeles  last  week.  The  fastest  was  the 
one  in  2:10}  by  Ole  in  the  first  heat  of  the  2:11  trot, 
which  reduced  his  mark  just  half  a  second.  The 
horses  that  trotted  these  fast  seconds  were  sired  by 
Falrose,  Silas  Skinner,  Gen.  Beverley,  Shadeland 
Onward,  Zombro  and  McKinney. 


Adam  G.  2:14},  the Beven-year-old  McKinney  gelding 
that  won  the  $1000  2:24  class  trot  on  the  la6t  day  of 
the  Los  Angeles  meeting,  was  bred  by  President  E. 
P.  Heald  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Hor6e  Breeders 
Association.  His  dam  is  Professor  Heald 's  favorite 
mare  Nona  Y.  by  Admiral,  that  is  also  the  dam  of 
the  trotter  Lady  Rowena  2:18}  and  the  pacers  Nance 
O'Neil  2:09}  and  Charles  David  2:15.  Adam  G  is  un- 
doubtedly one  of  the  greatest  prospects  that  has  been 
seen  on  any  of  the  tracks  this  year  and  it  is  confidently 
believed  by  the  most  experienced  horsemen  that  three 
heats  in  2:10  are  not  beyond  his  reach. 


Good  horses  are  hard  to  get  at  the  present  time,  but 
a  number  of  good  ones  will  be  sold  by  auction  at  the 
Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s  salesyard,  1732  Market  Btreet, 
San  Francisco,  on  Monday  evening  July  24th.  They 
are  consigned  to  the  Occidental  Land  and  Improve- 
ment Company,  of  Sharon,  Cal.,  and  the  C.  E.  Need- 
ham  farm  at  Bellota,  Cal.  Don't  forget  this  sale  if 
you  want  a  good  horse  or  several  of  them. 


To  make  a  bran  mash  first  waBh  out  a  bucket  with 
boiling  water,  then  pour  in  the  quantity  required — 
say  three  pints — and  stir  in  three  pounds  of  bran. 
Cover  up  and  leave  it  for  a  couple  of  hours  or  more  if 
not  required  for  immediate  use,  says  American  Culti- 
vator A  mash  takes  hours  to  get  cold  and  is  often 
offered  to  a  sick  horse  too  hot  and  refused  when  it 
would  have  been  taken  if  properly  prepared  and  given 
warm  instead  of  scalding. 


Will  Durfee  was  the  largest  winner  at  the  Los 
Angeles  meeting.  He  won  two  races,  was  second  once, 
third  once  and  fourth  once,  the  total  winnings  being 
$1440.  Walter  Maben  was  next  with  $1350  to  his  credit 
and  Fred  Ward  was  third  with  $1250.  The  others  win- 
ning $500  and  overwereF.E.  Wright  $1140,  S.  Lindsay 
$1000,  John  Quinn  $1000,  Fred  Chadbourne  $800,  M. 
Reams  $750,  Al  McDonald  $750,  S.  E.  Kent  $750,  J.  R. 
Springer  $650,  W.  Zibbell  $650,  Henry  Delaney  $575, 
Leggett  $550,  Stewart  $550,  Freeman  $500. 


Last  year  a  very  large  number  of  draught  stallions 
were  brought  to  this  State  from  the  East  and  were 
distributed  throughout  the  countieB  where  horse 
breeding  is  carried  on  to  any  extent.  Nearly  all  these 
stallions  that  have  made  seasons  here  thiB  season  have 
been  liberally  patronized  and  for  that  reason  the  sup- 
ply of  grade  draught  horses  which  is  now  very  short 
on  the  Coast  should  begin  to  reach  something  neaier 
the  demand  at  the  end  ef  the  next  five  years.  Until 
that  time,  however,  the  supply  will  be  short,  and 
horses  of  1300  pounds  and  upwards  will  be  held  at 
high  figures  and  find  a  very  ready  sale  in  California. 


Zombro  2:11  by  MoKinney  is  getting  a  lot  of  high 
class  mares  in  Oregon  this  year.  Among  the  record 
mares  that  have  been  bred  to  him  since  Mb  arrival  at 
Portland  on  June  1st,  are  Sarah  S  2:09!,  Flora  G. 
2:21,  Mary  Scott  2:24,  May  Tilden  2:24},  Lady  Mack 
2:21},  Loveless  2:20,  Alto  Dell  2:16}  and  Altelno  2:2U, 
Bessie  Loveless,  two  year-old  trial  2:24,  Beulah,  two- 
year-old  record  2:47,  own  sister  to  Chehslis  2:04}. 
Lany  Dell,  dam  of  Bettie  Gentry  2:16}.  Pocahontas, 
dam'of  Little  Maid  2:18,  Bridesmaid,  dam  of  Edmond 
S.,  trial  2:17}  and  other  highly  bred  and  producing 
mares  have  also  been  sent  to  Zombro's  court  during 
the  past  month. 

Harry  Bush,  the  capable  young  trainer  who  gave 
Confienza  her  mark  of  2:12}  last  month  at  Denver,  is 
receiving  many  complimentary  notices  in  the  press. 
He  isa  natural  horseman,  and  has  that  rare  faculty  of 
gainiDg  not  only  the  confidence  but  the  control  of 
highly  nervous  and  erratic  horses.  He  went  to  Colo- 
rado from  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  a  few  years  ago  in  search 
of  health,  and  although  he  is  much  more  robuBt  than 
he  was,  his  voice  cannot  be  raised  above  a  wh'sper 
and  his  lungs  are  very  weak.  Confienza  was  declared 
a  hopeless  failure  before  he  began  training  her,  hut 
he  has  made  a  valuable  racing  machine  of  the  daugh- 
ter of  James  Madison. 


The  brown  trotting  mare  Italia  by  Zombro,  owned 
by  Mr.  W.  P.  Murray  of  Cleveland,  is  working  better 
this  spring  than  ever  before.  She  is  stronger,  looks 
better,  does  not  show  any  disposition  to  be  unsteady, 
and  in  every  way  her  rest  last  year  has  done  her  good. 
She  will  probably  be  raced  later  if  she  continues  to 
improve.  Mr.  Murray's  young  trotter,  Russell  G.  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16J,  dam  by  California  Nutwood, 
second  dam  by  Anteeo  and  third  dam  by  Venture,  is 
learning  fast  and  bidB  fair  to  develop  into  a  useful 
trotter.  Russell  G  has  a  full  sister  In  California,  who 
as  a  two-year-old  last  year  worked  a  mile  in  2:24}, 
with  a  quarter  in  33  seconds  She  is  a  very  fast  filly, 
and  is  heavily  staked.  The  dam  of  RuBsell  G,  It  Is 
said,  never  failed  to  produce  speed,  as  all  her  colts  by 
Nutwood  WilkeB  are  fast. — American  Sp'n  '  <  •

should  then   pains  should   be  taken  to   furnish  the 
forage  necessary. 

Some  breeders  do  not  appear  to  realize  that  a  mare 
and  her  colt,  idle  in  the  pastures  as  they  are,  demand 
a  great  deal  of  good  food.  A  mature  workhorse  can 
get  along  comfortably  with  less  than  a  mare  in  foal, 
yet  many  breeders  seem  to  think  that  meager  pastur- 
'  age  will  furnish  all  the  food  necessary.  This  was 
called  forcibly  to  mind  recently  when,  in  the  course 
of  a  discussion  on  a  somewhat  prominent  stallion,  a 
remark  was  made  to  the  effect  that  many  of  his  foals 
in  his  new  home  were  small,  scrubby  things,  which 
would  never  serve  to  advertise  their  sire,  great  speed 
getter  though  he  has  been.  In  reply  the  statement 
was  made  that  it  was  not  to  be  wondered  at  that  the 
new  owner  was  prone  to  turn  his  colts  and  mares  into 
a  pasture  that  could  not  possibly  supply  all  the  sus- 
tenance necessary.  Other  breeders  with  Bires  of  less 
speed  making  ability  have  been  extensively  patron- 
ized because  their  colts  have  invariably  looked  good 
and  when  raced  have  had  the  size  and  constitution  so 
essential  to  a  race  horse.  Colts  which  have  been 
stunted  by  starvation  cannot  Btand  the  strain  of  hard 
training  and  are  sure  to  develop  a  weak  spot  when 
the  work  becomes  too  hard.  If  it  is  worth  while  to 
invest  thousands  in  a  breeding  establishment  it  is 
very  essential  that  the  food  supply  should  be  suf- 
ficient and  if  the  farm  will  not  furnish  it  then  a  few 
hundred  dollars  should  be  expended  in  its  purchase. 
It  is  the  few  hundreds  so  spent  that  will  make  the 
many  thousands  a  successful  investment. 


Common  Sense  in  Colt  Breeding. 

With  all  the  theories  on  breeding  there  is  nothing 
that  will  assist  in  the  raising  of  great  colts  so  much  as 
a  fair  amount  of  common  sense.  This  holds  good, 
especially  in  regard  to  the  raising  of  colts  both  before 
and  after  being  foaled,  says  Tin  Horseman.  It  hardly 
eeems  possible  that  a  man  after  investing  thousands 
of  dollars  in  stallions  and  broodmares  would  allow  the 
young  colts  to  starve,  and  yet,  unfortunately,  more 
than  one  instance  can  be  cited  where  promising  colts 
have  been  stunted  and  ruined  because  of  stinginess  in 
provldlug  feed  for  the  mare  aDd  for  the  colt  after 
weaning.  Possibly  no  breeder  would  admit  that  he 
ever  pursued  such  a  foolish  policy,  yet  in  such 
Instances  it  must  be  admitted  that  the  breeder  has 
very  little  common  sense  in  bia  makeup.  It  is  too 
often  the  case  that  a  mare  and  her  foal  are  turned  out 
at  this  time  of  the  year  and  allowed  to  run  in  the 
paBturo  until  fall.  Between  now  and  that  time,  it  is 
safe  to  say,  the  pasture  will  not  furnish  the  nourish- 
ment needed,  either  for  the  mare  or  her  foal.  Special 
care  should  be  taken  to  see  that  both  are  provided  with 
plenty  of  succulent  and  nourishing  feed.  Possibly  the 
it,  but  if  the  mare  com- 
-  to  get  thin  and  the  colt  does  not  thrive  as  he 


Answers  to  Correspondents. 

F.  C adman,  Elmira,  Cal, — Square  Dealer  3552  was 
a  bay  horse,  foaled  1881.  He  was  sired  by  Knicker- 
bocker 200,  dam  Maggie  by  Magnolia  68,  grandam  by 
Seeley's  Black  Hawk,  a  son  of  Long  Island  Black

Knickerbocker  200  was  a  son  of  Hambletonian  10,  dam

sired  Dimple  2:29J-  and  TJtell  2:24|.  He  has  two  pro- 
ducing sons  and  two  producing  daughters.  We  cannot 
find  any  reference  to  a  horse  by  the  name  of  Young 
Morgan  Empire,  either  in  the  Year  Book,  Register, 
or  in  Battel's  Morgan  Horse  Register.  There  was  a 
horse  called  Young  Morgan  Emperor  however.  He 
was  by  Emperor,  son  of  Bulrush  Morgan. 


Friskarina  Not  Distanced. 


In  the  summary  of  the  2:13  pace  at  Los  Angeles, 
printed  in  the  BREEDER  AND  SPORTSMAN  last  week, 
Friskarina  was  accounted  as  distanced  in  the  fourth 
heat.  This  was  a  mistake.  Mr.  E.  D.  Dudley  of 
Dixon,  owner  of  the  mare,  writes  us  that  Friskarina 
was  withdrawn  after  the  third  heat  by  permission  of 
the  judges  aB  she  was  sick  and  in  no  condition  to  race.

Thinks  Highly  ot  George  G. 

[Hawley  in  Ky.  Stock  Parm.J 

The  present-  condition  of  the  horses  in  Ed  Geers' 
stable  clearly  refute  the  idea  so  frequently  advanced 
by  trainers  that  it  is  impossible  to  prepare  for  an  ex 
tenshe  campaign  the  horses  in  their  charge  before 
the  middle  of  the  summer,  for  the  cracks  that  he  is 
now  ready  to  do  battle  with  have  been  on  edge  for 
some  time  and  could  easily  have  begun  their  campaign 
some  weeks  ago.  Whatever  may  be  the  public  per- 
formances of  the  several  high  class  and  greatly 
heralded  trotters  and  pacers  which  this  great  reins- 
man  will  show  to  the  public  remains  to  be  seen,  for 
both  Walter  Direct  and  George  G.  are  in  a  measure 
unknown  quantities.  It  is  true  George  G.  has  been 
seen  in  public,  but  it  ib  not  all  safe  to  gauge  his 
capacity  by  his  past  performances,  for  every  one 
knows  that  he  is  today  so  vastly  improved  in  man- 
ners as  to  be  quite  a  different  horse  from  formerly. 

His  6peed  has  always  been  unquestioned,  and  no 
one  familiar  with  him  can  doubt  for  a  minute  that  he 
is  a  game  trotter,  and  if  his  capacity  can  be  judged 
by  the  manner  in  which  he  has  taken  his  work  this 
spring,  he  is  destined  to  be  one  of  the  stars  of  the 
year.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  he  has  not  in  the  past 
performed  creditably  to  himself,  it  would  be  folly  to 
predict  for  him  a  campaign  equal  to  that  of  Sweet 
Marie,  for  this  mar6  is  one'among  a  thousand,  but  as 
it  haB  always  been  conceded  that  all  the  gelding 
lacked  was  good  behavior,  and  this  he  seems  now  to 
haveinabundance.it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that 
the  son  of  Homeward  is  now  as  near  perfection  as  the 
skill  of  his  trainer  can  make  him. 

Granted  that  George  G.  is  a  2:05  trotter,  and  surely 
his  past  performances  justify  this  belief,  and  conced- 
ing his  absolute  gamaness,  there  is  little  speculation 
in  pronouncing  him  a  trotter  of  the  very  first  class, 
and  as  such  likely  to  more  than  hold  his  owd  in  any 
company  he  may  meet.  Whether  or  not  he  can  over- 
come the  cracks  of  the  faster  division  will  have  to  be 
ascertained  when  he  is  put  to  that  test,  but  that  he  is 
master  of  his  own  division  there  seems  so  be  little 
doubt.  Everyone  who  has  seen  George  G.  and  is 
familiar  with  his  speed,  his  way  of  going  and  his  gen- 
eral make-up  has  be6n  led  to  believe  that  there  was 
in  him  oapacity  of  the  highest  order;  in  fact,  there  is 
so  much  about  him  to  indicate  that  he  was  a  cham- 
pion that  many  of  the  shrewdest  horsemen  in  America 
believe  him  capable  of  joining  the  ranks  of  the  fastest 
division  in  the  very  near  future. 

I  firmly  believe  that  this  gelding  will  sweep  every, 
thing  before  him  this  year,  unless,  of  course,  it  is 
decided  to  undertake  the  impossible  with  him,  and  I 
have  such  a  high  regard  for  the  judgment  of  his 
trainer,  whose  opinion  of  him  is  of  the  highest,  that 
nothing  the  gelding  might  do  would  surprise  me. 
Geer3  has  been  forced  to  wait  some  time  with  a  horse 
that  is  very  nearly  cherry  ripe,  yet  so  skillful  is  he  in 
keeping  a  fast  horse  in  perfect  coodition  that  there  is 
no  danger  of  this  trotter  having  been  overdone.  His 
engagements  should  be  at  his  mercy,  unless,  of  course, 
he  returns  to  bis  bad  habits  of  the  past,  and  after 
defeating  the  best  of  his  own  division,  he  can  be 
expected  to  meet  either  Tiverton,  Sweet  Marie  or 
both.  I  am  firmly  of  the  belief  that  if  George  G.  is 
this  year  capable  of  a  mile  in  2:05,  he  will  overcome 
Tiverton,  if  the  two  ever  meet,  for  he  is  much  more 
substantially  put  together,  has  infinately  more  sub- 
stance, and  should  be  capable  of  an  extended  cam- 
paign, somatbing  that  is  likely  to  be  the  undoipg  of 
light,  waspish  son  of  Galileo  Rex.

The  Attraction  of  Harness  Racing. 

The  harness  racing  season  may  be  said  to  have  been 
fiirly  begun,  although    thus  far  it   has  been   confined 
mainly  to  the  half-mile  tracks,  and  the  results  of  the 
different  meetings,  as  reported  in  the  columns  of  the 
turf  press,  in  sbarp  contrast  to  those  on  the  running 
tracks,  are   as  eagerly   scanned  by  men  interested  in 
breeding  as  by  those  interested  from  a   racing  view- 
point.    In  no  respect  is  the  difference  between  harness 
racing  and   running  racing   more  clearly  shown   than 
by  this  eager  interest  shown  in  racing  results  by  those 
who  take  no  more  active  part  in  racing  than  is  shown 
by   going   to  the  races  as  spectators   merely.     It  is 
likely  true  that  90  per  cent  of  thoBe  who  go  to  the 
running  races   go  to   speculate,  while  at   the  average 
Grand  Circuit  meeting  it  is  doubtful  if   more  than   20 
percenjof  those  present   take  a  part  in  the  specula- 
tive part  of  the  game.    The  attendanceat  the  average 
narness  racing  meeting  is  made  up  largely  of  persons 
coming  under  the  following  heads:    Those  who  love  a 
driving  horse  possessing  some  speed   and  who  have 
become  interested  in  professional  racing  through  this 
love  of  speed  so  engendered;  those  who  have  madea 
study  of  trotting  horse  pedigrees  and  who  are  engaged 
in  breeding  to  a  greater  or  less  extent;  those  who  love 
horses  naturally   and  who   have  been   firm  adherents 
of  the  harness  branch  of   racing  from  childhood  up. 
There  are,  of  course,  those  who  love  to  speculate  and 
who,  through   preference,  prefer  to  back  their  judg- 
ment of   harness   horses  mainly   because  they   have 
always  fancied   horses  of  this  kind,  and  have  made  a 
study  of  them  and   the  conditions   under  which  they 
are  raced,  bu,,  as  before  stated,  it  is  seldom  that  this 
element  amounts  to  more  than  20  per  cent  of  the  en- 
tire attendance.     Harness  racing  attracts  more  people 
for  sport's  sake  than   any  other  form  of  racing  be- 
cause, in  a  modified  form,  the  amateur  reinsman  may 
participate  in  it,  and  thus  he  becomes  interested  in  it 
in  a  professional  way.    The  runner  is  a  racing  ma- 
chine  nothing   else,  while  the  trotter  or  pacer,  is  not 
only  a  race  horse  in   a  professional  way,  but  is  also  a 
source  of  enjoyment  to  tbe  amateur  who   may  make 
use  of  his  speed  in  amateur  everts.    He  thus  learns  to 
know  the  feelings  and  motives  which  inspire  the  pro- 
fessional  driver,    sees  in    his  endeavors  to  win  that 
which  he  can  neither   see  nor  understand   in  the  mite 
of  a   jockey  clinging   to  a   runner's  back.     He  appre- 
ciates the  skill  and   judgment  shown  by  the  men  who 
have  who  have  worked  up  to  the  front  rank  of  train- 
ers and  drivers,  and   an  afternoon's   racing  gives  him 
such  actual  pleasure  as  few  devotees  of   the  running 
turf  ever   realize.     The   two   branches  of   racing  are 
widely  different  and  the  gulf  that  separates  them  will 
never  be  narrowed.     Running  is  the  sport  of  those 
who  delight  in   speculation.no  matter  what  form  it 
may  take,'  while  harness  racing  is  the  sport  of  those 
who  have  an  undying  love  for  horses  and  who  delight 
in  seeing  them   reach  the  highest  state  of  perfection 
as  illustrated   by  the   modern   type  of  the  trotter  or 
pacer— a  horse  of  beauty,  intelligence  and  speed,  use- 
ful not  only  as  a  racing  machine  but  as  a  pleasureable 
companion  as  well. — Horse  World. 


that  he  has  not  the  electric  turn  of  speed  of  Sweet 
Marie,  a  quarter  in  30t  seconds  being  the  best  he  has 
driven  him,  and  that  he  has  never  in  his  work  or 
races  been  a  mile  fasterthan  2:10.  He  says  that  while 
he  expects  him  to  be  a  good  horse,  he  by  no  means 
thinks  him  invincible  in  his  class  and  will  be  content 
with  a  fair  proportion  of  the  money.  His  good  man- 
ners will  be  worth  two  seconds  to  him  in  any  race,  his 
owner  thinks,  as  one  can  place  him  just  where  he 
wants  to  and  be  sure  of  always  finding  him  on  the 
trot.  There  is  no  question  as  to  what  he  will  do  and 
he  will  be  certain  to  add  another  2:10  performer  to 
his  sire's  already  long  list.  Mack  Mack's  best  mile 
thus  far  this  season  was  2:14 J  here  at  Denver.  He 
has  not  been  asked  to  do  much.  He  will  be  shipped 
from  here  to  Liberty  ville,  111.,  where  his  preparation 
will  begin  in  earnest  and  then  the  eastern  public  will 
be  abie  to  draw  conclusions  for  themselves  as  to  his 
ability.  His  first  great  race  will  be  in  the  Empire 
State  $10,000  purse  for  2:10  trotters  at  Buffalo  the 
week  of  August  7th. 

A  horse  that  is  second  only  in   general  interest  to 
Mack  Mack  2:12},  is  Morosco  2:12,  the  fast  son  of  Way- 
land  W.,  and  Lady  Moor,  by  Grand  Moor.  I  can  safely 
say  from  the  start,  he  can  only  be  appreciated    when 
in  harness  and  In  action.     It  is  at  such  a  time  that  one 
who  knows  something  about   trotters   will  begin   to 
enthuse.     At  any  other  time  he  would  never  give  one 
the  impression  that  he  is  the  really  great  trotter  he  is- 
He  is  a  rakish  looking  horse  and  rough  in  his  exterior 
appearance.    A  brown  in  color,  full  16  hands  high^ 
wears  a  nine-ounce  shoe  forward   and   a  seven-ounce 
behind;  quarter  and  shin  boots  forward  and  ankle  and 
shin    boots  behind.    He  is  a  line  trotter  with  full, 
round  action  forward  going  rather  low  behind,  which 
gives  to  him  a  perfectly  smooth  gait  and  easy  way  of 
going  for  so  large  a  horse      He  hits  the  ground  very 
light  and  conveys  to  one  the  idea  that  he  is  one  of  the 
wear  and   tear  kind.    Before  leaving  California   he 
worked  a  mile  to  his  record,  2:12,  but  since  his  arrival 
at  Denver  he  has  not  up  to  this  date,  June  26,  beaten 
2:15.  He  is  a  horse  that  wants  a  free  head  and  if  given 
it,  will  not  pull  an  ounce  and  can   be  placed   without 
trouble.    In  his  races  on  the  Coast  it  is  said  that  he 
never  made  a  start  that  he  could  not  have  won.    How 
true  this  is  I  would  not  venture  to  say.     Of  one  thing 
I  feel  sure,  the  money  he  will  race  for  this  season  will 
be  enough  to  bring  out  his  best  efforts.    He  will  start 
in  some  minor  events  but  his  first  great   race  will  be 
when  he  starts  in  the  Empire   State  $10,000  purse  for 
2:10  trotters  at  Buffalo  next  August  at  which  time  his 
true  worth  as  a  race  horse  will  be  brought  to  the 
surface.

[Buffalo  Horse  World.] 
Well  I  have  seen  Mack  Mack  2:12},  the  son  of  the 
great  McKinney  2:111,  dam  Nancy  by  General  Mc- 
Clellan,  and  the  impression  I  had  formed  of  him  before 
seeing  him  was  not  overdrawn.  He  certainly  is  one 
of  the  grandest  looking  trotting  geldings  I  have  ever 
seen.  Like  all  the  McKinneys,  he  is  a  very  dai  k  bay, 
in  fact  he  could  be  oalled  brown,  he  is  eight  years  old, 
stands  full  16  hands  high  and  will  weigh  from  1250  to 
1300  pounds,  when  out  of  training  and  will  weigh 
right  at  1200  now.  There  is  not  a  blemish  of  any  kind 
visible  on  him.  There  are  some  things  about  him 
that  would  remind  one  of  Sweet  Marie  2:04f.  One  is 
the  expression  about  the  head  and  another  is  his  way 
of  going,  but  there  the  resamblaoce  ceases.  He  is 
longer  in  the  back,  which  drops  to  quite  a  noticeable 
extent  and  reminds  one  of  a  stallion,  along  in  years, 
tbat  had  done  much  stud  service.  He  is  high  over 
the  withers  and  across  the  coupling,  which  is  well 
back,  showing  theMambrino  Patchen  characteristics 
in  this  particular.  He  wears  a  nine-ounce  shoe  for- 
ward, with  two-ounce  toe-weights  and  seven-ounce 
shoes  behind.  The  boots  he  wears  are  more  for  safety's 
sake  than  for  the  need  of  them,  consisting  only  of 
quarter  boots  forward  and  shin  boots  behind.  It  is 
•  nly  when  one  steps  behind  him  tbat  his  wonderful 
driving  power  reveals  itself  to  the  critic.  He  has 
quarters  like  a  cart  horse  and  stifles  to  match  and  the 
Becret  of  his  ability  as  a  racing  machine  is  at  once  un- 
folded to  the  most  unsophisticated  of  observers. 

His  trainer  and  half-owner,  Mr.  Helman,  says  that 
in  all  he  has  started  twenty-eight  times,  twenty-six  of 
these  races  be  has  won  and  in  the  other  two  he  won 
second  money.    In   speaking  of  him,  his  trainer  says 


The  Directors  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  have 
made  a  contract  with  Murcell  &  Smith  for  the  con- 
struction of  one  hundred  and  four  cattle  stalls,  fifty- 
two  in  a  structure. 

Professor  W.  C.  Carlyle,  who  has  judged  the  live- 
stock at  the  Pair  for  several  seasons,  will  not  be  able 
to  serve  this  year,  and  President  B.  F.  Rush  has  been 
instructed  to  engage  a  judge  for  tbat  department. 

The  poultry  show  is  to  be  made  an  important 
feature  of  the  State  Fair  again,  and  Secretary  Albert 
Lindley  will  communicate  with  Henry  Berrar,  of  San 
Jose,  with  a  view  of  engaging  his  services  as  judge. 
Berrar  has  judged  the  poultry  several  years  and  has 
given  satisfaction  to  exhibitors. 

It  has  been  decided  to  offer  valuable  prizes  to  induce 
counties  to  make  exhibits  of  their  products.  To  this 
end  the  society  will  offer  a  premium  of  f  500  for  the 
best  county  exhibit;  second.  $250;  third,  $150;  fourth, 
$100;  fifth,  $50. 

Resolutions  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  Frank  W. 
Covey,  a  former  Director  of  the  society,  who  died 
recently,  were  adopted  at  the  meetingof  the  DirectoiB 
last  Saturday. 

The  Pavilion  will  be  turned  over  to  the  Native  Sons 
this  year,  and  many  Parlors  will  install  exhibits  of 
the  products  of  their  counties.  The  big  prizes  offered 
will  make  the  competition  keen  for  these  prizes  and 
the  best  county  exhibits  seen  in  years  are  expected. 
Admission   will  be  free  to  the  Pavilion   during  the 

entire  week.

Mr.  A.  D.  Whitecross,  a  resident  of  South  Brisbane 
Queensland,  Australia,  who  is  one  of  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman's  regular  readers,  writes  ub  that  the 
harness  horse  is  becoming  more  popular  every  day  in 
that  country  and  adds  "We  are  getting  a  better  claSB 
of  trotters  here  by  degrees  thanke  to  importations  of 
stallions  from  America.  Our  time  however  very 
seldom  comes  below  2:40,  and  a  2:30  horse  would  be  a 
veritable  whirlwind.  All  this  is  to  saddle  as  we  have 
no  tracks  fit  to  carry  a  sulky  except  our  show  track i 
which  are  quarter  mile  circles.  I  have  seen  a  mile  in 
harness  in  2:42,  but  the  constant  turning  on  a  small 
circle  is  not  conducive  to  fast  driving.  Fair  sized 
horses  of  the  trotting  strain  bring  from  $150  to  $200 
for  buggy  horses.  The  leading  breeder  of  thiB  class 
of  horses  is  Mr.  John  Stanfield,  and  Mb  success  in 
handling,  working  and  showing  to  advantage  is 
largely  due  to  the  imformatjon  contained  in  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  and  in  Marvins  book  on 
the  trotter  which  I  obtained  from  him  from  your 
city." 

Mr.  Whitecross  in  his  letter  requested  the  pro. 
prietor  of  the  B.  &  S.  to  send  him  a  few  pounds  of 
Kentucky  blue  grass  seed  which  he  intends  sowing  on 
the  black  soil  upland  ridges  in  his  6eetion  of  the 
oountry.  He  states  tbat  they  already  have  three  or 
four  species  of  blue  grass  growing  there,  and  that  it  is 
splendid  horse  and  cattle  feed.  The  seed  will  be  sent 
Mr.  Whitecross  as  asked  for  by  the  next  steamer  and 
we  hope  it  will  thrive  and  do  well  there. 

Computed  Value  by  Measurements. 

An  Arab  method  of  ascertaining  tbe  value  of  a 
horse  by  his  porportions  is  to  measure  him  with  the 
hand  from  the  extremity  of  the  dock  to  the  middle  of 
the  withers,  and  take  note  of  the  number  of  palms. 
They  then  begin  again  from  the  middleof  the  withers 
to  the  extremity  of  the  upper  lip,  passing  between  the 
ears.  If,  in  the  two  cases,  the  number  of  palms  is 
equal,  tbe  horse  will  be  good,  but  of  ordinary  9peed. 
If  the  number  of  palms  behind  is  greater  than  in  front 
the  horse  will  have  no  "go"  in  him;  but  if  the  number 
of  palms  between  the  withers  and  the  extremity  of 
the  upper  lip  is  more  considerable  than  in  measuring 
from  the  tail  to  the  withers,  rest  assured  the  horse  will 
have  great  qualities. 


New  York,  July  12— The  executive  board  of  the 
Western  Union  Telegraph  Company  today  adopted  a 
resolution  recommending  to  the  full  board  of  directors 
that  racing  news  be  not  supplied  by  the  company  ex- 
cept to  persons  receiving  it  through  a  regular  office. 
The  resolution  is  as  follows: 

Whereas,  This  company,  by  an  order  issued  by  its 
president,  has  directed  the  cessation  of  the  collection 
of  horse  race  reports;  and 

Whereas,  It  is  claimed  that  the  distribution  of 
horse  race  reports  still  continues  notwithstanding  the 
action  of  this  company  referred  to. 

Therefore,  be  it  recommended  to  the  board  of 
directors  tbat  tbe  offices  of  the  Western  Union  Tele- 
graph Company  be  directed  to  cease  the  transmission 
of  any  message  containing  horse  race  reports,  except 
when  such  messages  are  delivered  to  a  regular  office 
of  the  company  for  transmission  to  and  delivery 
through  a  regular  office  of  the  company  or  for  de- 
livery in  such  or  other  manner  as  the  president  of  the 
company  shall  authorize  over  his  signature. 

The  meeting  of  the  committee  was  short,  and  among 
those  who  attended   were   President  Clowry,  Russell 
Sage,  Jacob  H.  Schiff  and  James  H.  Byde..

Horse  Show  Association  Organized. 

As  the  result  of  the  very  successful  horse  showgiven 
by  the  Tournament  of  Roses  Association  at  Pasadena 
last  April,  a  new  association  has  been  organized  called 
the  Southern  California  Horse  Show  Association  of 
Pasadena.  It  has  been  duly  incorporated  and  pro- 
poses to  give  a  show  annually  in  March.  The  horses 
shown  last  April  came  from  all  over  the  United  States 
and  the  owners  were  particularly  pleased  with  the 
out  door  winter  show,  something  they  were  not  accus- 
tomed to  in  the  East.  So  many  Eastern  people  who 
winter  in  Southern  California  bring  their  horses  with 
them  that  an  exceptionally  fine  show  can  be  held. 

The  officers  of  the  new  organization  are  John  S. 
Cravens,  President;  John  B.  Miller  and  Fred  E.Wilcox 
of  Pasadena,  Walter  S.  Newhall  of  Los  Angeles, 
Robert  Lee  Bettner  of  Riverside  and  CV.  J .  Hogan  of 
Louisville,  Ky.,  Vice-Presidents;  Edwin  D.  Neff  of 
Riverside,  Secretary  and  Treasurer. 


Not  to  Be  Bred  to  Ben  Liebes. 


An  item  in  last  week's  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
stated  that  Grace  Kaiser,  the  dam  of  Coney  2:02,  etc., 
would  be  bred  to  Ben  Liebes  2:174.  This  is  an  error. 
Grace  Kaiser  is  now  owned  by  Mr.  James  Coffin  of 
this  city.  She  has  a  beautiful  filly  at  foot  by  Zolock 
2:06  that  Mr.  Coffin  ha9  refused  $1000  for  and  has  been 
bred  back  to  Zolock.  Grace  Kaiser  is  one  of  the 
greatest  broodmares  in  the  whole  country.  In  addi- 
tion to  Coney  2:02,  she  is  the  dam  of  Stipulator  2:11}, 
and  the  trotters  McZeus  2:13  and  Grace  McK.  2:21  j, 
and  grandam  of  Tidal  Wave  2:09.  i 

Lou  Dillon  Trotted  in  2.06  Last  Week. 

At  the  Cleveland  track,  last  Saturday  morning,  Mr. 
Billings  drove  Lou  Dillon  a  mile  in  2:06,  the  fastest 
mile  made  this  year  by  any  trotter.  After  the  work- 
out Mr.  Billings  said: 

"I  did  not  extend  the  mare  a  bit.  Had  I  done  so 
she  would  have  stepped  the  mile  in  two  minutes  at 
least.  Lou  made  the  first  quarter  in  33  seconds,  the 
half  In  1:04,  the  three-quarter  in  1:35A  and  the  mile 
in  2:06."

Pacific  Coast  Derby  Entries. 


DATE    OF    OPEN     In   i  l.     SEASON. 

The  open  season  (or  the  killing  of  bucks  begins 
August  1st,  and  not  on  July  15lb,  as  has  been  pub- 
lished frequently  of  late.  The  State  Pish  Commission 
desires  that  the  exact  date  of  the  open  season  be 
given  the  widest  publication,  as  the  erroneous  date  of 
July  15th  may  be  the  means  of  getting  into  trouble 
some  who  are  disposed  to  respect  the  law. 


A  total  of  forty-fire  nominations  for  the  Coast  field 
trials  next  January  is  the  gratifying  list  of  young 
dogs  that  are  entered  for  the  January  Pacific  Coast 
Derby  stake.  This  entry  is  seven  in  excess  of  the  list 
closed  July  1,  1904  (22EogliBh  Setters  and  17  Pointers). 

The  entries  which  closed  on  the  1st  inst.  comprise 
28  English  Setters,  1  Irish  Setter  and  17  Pointers. 
The  class  and  quality  of  the  Derby  candidates  is 
strongly  demonstrated  and  comprises  some  of  the  best 
blood  lines  and  crosses  extant. 

For  the  first  time  in  many  years  an  Irish  Setter  has 
been  entered  for  the  running  in  the  Pacific  Coast 
trials.  The  breed  is  well  worthy  the  attention  of  our 
sportsmen.  Irish  Setters  are  not  by  any  means  over- 
looked on  the  Coast,  where  conditions  climatic  and 
geographical  are  most  favorable  to  bringing  the 
mahogany  boys  up  in  the  front  ranks  of  ourfield  dogs. 
We  extend  our  congratulations  to  Mr.  Piepers  of  Los 
Angeles  and  hope  to  see  his  Derby  dog  up  with  the 
winners  for  the  Los  Angeles  kennels  cootains  some 
excellent  and  well  bred  Irish  Setters.  The  entries, 
which  closed  July  1st,  first  forfeit  $5;  second  forfeit  $5 
payable  November  1st  and  $10  additional  for  starters, 
are  the  following:

Santa  Cruz  Show. 


The  three  day  boow,  at  Santa  Cruz,  last  week  of  the 
Pacific  Sheep  Dog  Club  (formerly  the  Pacific  Collie 
and  Old  English  Sheep  Dog  Club)  is  reported  to  have 
been  well  patronized  by  fanciers  and  summer  visitors 
at  the  ocean  side  town  The  show  itself  was  a 
creditable  one  and  deserving  of  success  it  being  quite 
a  novel  undertaking  to  attempt  a  paying  show  at  a 
resort  so  far  from  this  city.  The  patronage  and  sup- 
port of  Santa  Clara  and  Santa  Cruz  counties  fanciers 
was  good.  San  Francisco  was  well  represented  by  well 
known  fanciers  and  a  number  of  entries.  The  quality 
of  the  show,  on  an  average,  was  far  better  than  antici- 
pated by  a  number  of  the  local  fancy. 

Chas.  Lyndon,  late  of  Montreal,  Canada,  made  his 
initial  appearance  as  judge  at  a  Coast  show,  his 
decisions  were  generally  acceptable,  although  in 
several  instances  the  awards  met  with  criticism.  The 
presentation  of  prizes  last  Saturday  evening  took  on 
the  pbaBe  of  an  exclusive  social  function,  a  large 
attendance  of  handsomely  gowned  ladies  with  their 
escorts  being  much  interested  in  the  affair.  Miss 
Ethyl  Hagar,  of  this  city,  in  a  very  gracious  and 
pleasing  style  presented  the  cups  and  trophies  to  the 
winners,  Hugh  McCracken  making  proper  announce- 
ment as  each  winner  appeared. 

The  show  was  held  in  a  large  pavilion  close  by  the 
beach.  A  feature  of  the  show  was  the  numerous 
entries  made  by  the  fair  sex.  During  the  show  the 
'Frisco  fancy  was  well  represented. 

The  officers  of  the  club  are  P.  W.  Morse,  President; 
Dr.  H.  C.  Brown,  Vice-President:  Geo.  W.  Sill,  Secre- 
tary.Treasurer;  Irving  Townsend,  J.  W.  Baxter,  Geo. 
Martin,  Directors.  Bench  Show  Committee,  Chas. 
R.  Harker,  F.  J.  Torchiana  3rd,  Geo.  Martin,  N.  J. 
Stewart.  Dr.  D.  E.  Graves,  Veterinary;  J.  C.  Berrett, 
Superintendent. 

The  entries  and  number  of  dogs  as  shown  in  the 
catalogue  are  as  follows:  Great  Danes,  5  entries,  4 
dogs.  St.  Bernards,  8-4  Deerhounds,  1-1.  Grey- 
bounds,  3-3.  Pointers,  8-9.  English  Setters,  11-9. 
Gordon  Setters,  1-1.  Irish  Setters,  1-1  Field  Spaniels, 
4-4.  Cocker  Spaniels,  34-23.  Collies,  30-24.  Old 
Eaglish  Sheep  Dogs,  1-1.  Bulldogs,  10-5.  Bull  Ter- 
riers, 4-4.  French  Bulldogs,  4-3.  Boston  Terriers, 
11-7.  Airedales,  5-2.  Fox  Terriers,  smooths,  11-7.

2-2.  Scotties,  1-1.  Dalmatians,  1-1.  English  Toys, 
6-4.  Japs,  1-1.  Dachsbundes,  4-3.  Poms,  1-1.  A 
total  of  173  entries  and  125  dogs — enough  for  a  two- 
point  show. 

The  two  upsets  of  the  show  were  when  Sir  David, 
the  Cocker  that  won  at  a  wholesale  rate  at  the  May 
show,  was  beaten  by  Bobbie  R.  (Pittsburg  Tommy- 
Mill  Girl)  owned  and  bred  in  San  Jose,  and  also  by  Ch. 
Redlight  for  the  Cocker  Club  special  for  beBt.  The 
latter  d;d  not  get  a  look:  in  at  'Frisco.  Redlight 
also  beat  Endclife  Flash  who  took  special  for  best 
at  that  show.  Aur"  jr  jar  to  the  fancy  was  the

IN    AND    OUT    OF    CANADA. 

Pleasant  news  to  many  field  trials  devotees  is  the 
recent- ruling  of  the  Canadian  customs  authorities  at 
Manitoba  to  the  effect  that  all  dogs  going  to  Manitoba 
for  training,  can  be  taken  back  across  the  line  to  take 
part  in  trials  in  the  United  States  and  then  brought 
back  to  Manitoba  to  run  in  the  Manitoba  trials.  This 
courteous  action  of  the  officials  is  due  mainly  to  the 
efforts  of  Mr.  Eric  Hamber.  It  is  believed  that  several 
handlers,  by  reason  of  tbi9  arrangement,  who  will 
train  their  strings  in  Manitoba  will  now  take  part  in 
the  North  Dakota  and  Iowa  trials  at  Grand  Forks. 


At  the  California  Win  ■  Club  sboot  on  the  Iw\e- 
side  trap  grounds  Sunday  some  excellent  shooting'de- 
veloped  during  the  regular  club  raco  and  events 
following.  In  the  main  shoot  over  50  per  cent  of  the 
participants  shot  at  a  distance  of  from  30  to  34  yards 
from  the  line  of  five  traps.  Out  of  the  five  straight 
scores  three  of  the  shooters  shot  at  30  and  31  yards  a 
decidedly  clever  bit  of  work  with  a  12  bore  hammer- 
lees.  The  straights  were:  Clarence  A.  Haight  f29 
yards),  A  M.  Shields  (40  yards),  Dr.  E.  G.  McConnell 
131  yards),  ''Pete''  Walsh  (31  yards)  and  W.  R  Mur 
dock  (31  yards).  The  club  purse  of  $75  was  accordingly 
divided  among  the  quintet  of  tportsmen  who  had  the 
proper  ''shooting  eye."  C.  C.  Nauman,  the  Coast 
crack,  who  has  been  a  bit  off  in  form  recently,  shot 
from  the  34  yard  mark.  Even  at  this  distance  Nau- 
man dropped  nine  pigeons,  out  of  the  eleven  with  a 
single  barrel.  Helosthis  fifth  bird,  an  exceedingly 
difficult  one  at  the  distance.  Otto  Feudner  (32  yards) 
allowed  his  sixth  bird  to  fly  back  unharmed  to  the 
pigeonloft.  Ten  men  altogether  were  in  the  eleven 
hole  each  losing  one  bird  out  of  the  allotted  dozen. 
W.  J.  Golcher  (31  yards),  while  ehootiog  in  excellent 
form,  got  two  baffling  flyers  that  spoiled  his  score 
sheet.  The  pigeons  supplied  were  6trong  ones  and 
swift  of  wing,  noth  withstanding,  the  shooting  in  the 
club  race  accounted  for  all  but  just  an  even  dozen, 
which  escaped  out  of  the  total  bunch  of  192  that  were 
trapped. 

Following  the  club  match  a  five-man  team  race  at 
six  birds  took  place.  The  Blues  won  with  a  total  of 
28  out  of  30  birds.  Nine  men  were  in  a  side  pool 
amounting  to  822  50,  eight  of  whom  scored  clean, 
and  practically  outshot  themselves  from  the  money 
Feudner,  Walsh,  Dr.  Bodkin  and  Frank  Turner  each 
scored  straight  in  two  following  6ix-bird  pools. 

The  shooters  in  the  foregoing  races  shot  under  the 
same  handicaps  which  prevailed  during  the  club 
match. 

The  final  race  of  the  day  was  a  miss  and  out  pool  in 
which  five  participants  were  engaged.  The  first  round 
began  at  the  26  yard  slat,  each  succeeding  round,  the 
shooters  went  back  one  yard  until  the  36  yard  peg  was 
reached.  Shields;was  the  first  man  out,  his  fifth  bird 
escaping  at  31  yards;  Donohee  failed  on  his  tenth,  at 
34  yards  rise.  Haight's  eleventh  pigeon,  sent  him  to 
the  bench,  after  he  had  gone  back  to  36  yards.  Three 
men,  Nauman,  Feudner  and  Walsh  were  the  con- 
tenders noi  from  the  extreme  limit  distance.  Eacb, 
shooting  in  excellent  form  accounted  for  an  even 
dozen  of  birds— of  these  36  pigeons,  16  were  grassed 
with  a  single  barrel.  Pretty  good  work  it  was  at  the 
distance.  Feudner  and  Walsh  both  lost  their  thir- 
teenth birds,  dead  out.  Nauman  stood  on  the  score 
to  close  the  round  and  got  a  lively  "magpie"  from  No. 
3  trap.  Both  barrels  gave-the  bird  a  heavy  freight 
to  carry,  but  the  pigeon  was  strong,  circling  about 
several  times  and  once  dangerously  near  the  arbiting 
fence,  the  bird  finally  lit  off  No.  1  trap,  upstanding 
and  alert. 

As  clean  a  retrieve  was  made  by  Walsh  as  we  ever 
saw,  it  was  odds  that  the  bird  would  fly,  but  Walsh 
has  a  crafty  knack  of  his  own  in  capturing  a  wounded 
bird,  his  skill  did  not  fail  this  time,  for  he  slowly  and 
at  times  almost  imperceptibly,  got  closer  and  closer 
until  with  a  catlike  grab  the  bird  was  in  haDd  and 
Nauman  thereby  won  the  freeze  out  Each  man  then 
shot  out  the  fourteenth"  round,  all  killed.  The  scores 
in  the  different  events  were  the  following:

W.  F.  Watson's  Ch.  Dennis  C.  (Ch.  Mike  C.-Biddy

Irish  Water  Spaniels  as  can  be  had  anywhere  in 
America. 

Mr.  Graham  Babcock  had  the  misfortune  to  lose 
Glenwood  Fiancee  last  week.  Fiancee  was  a  winner  at 
the  1904  show  and  a  very  good  BoBton  She  was,  on 
Saturday,  served  by  Roundsman  and  fifteen  minutes 
after  being  placed  in  her  kennel  was  found  strangled, 
hanging  suspended  by  her  lead  to  a  nail  which  the 
poor  dog  had  accidentally  caught  her  lead  on. 

Wm.F.  Wattson  sold  to  Ed  Donohoe  a  good-look- 
ing three  months'  old  Irish  Water  Spaniel  dog  puppy 
by  Ch.  Dennis  C.  out  of  Kitty  Kelly.

SACRAMENTO  RIVER  FOULED  WITH  OIL. 

Early  this  week,  from  Keswick  to  a  point  many 
miles  south  of  Redding,  the  surface  of  the  Sacramento 
river  was  covered  with  a  thin  6cum  of  crude  petro- 
leum. This  condition  of  the  water  was  due  to  the 
heat  prevailing  at  the  Keswick  smelter.  A  storage 
tank,  containing  6000  gallons  of  fuel  oil  burst  and 
emptied  its  contents  into  the  river.  Boating  and 
bathing  in  the  river  was  effectually  stopped  for  the 
time  being,  the  effect  of  the  oil  on  trout  and  salmon, 
it  iB  believed  will  seriously  affect  angling  conditions. 


The  Empire  Gun  Club  held  the  final  club  shoot  of 
the  season  at  Alameda  point  on  the  9th  inst.  There 
was  a  good  attendance.  The  weather  was  perfect  and 
good  scores  were  the  order  of  the  day.  One  accident 
occurred  to  mar  the  pleasure  of  the  day,  but  aBide 
from  that  all  had  a  very  enjoyable  time. 

Just  at  the  close  of  the  last  event,  we  regret  to  state, 
the  popular  secretary  of  the  club,  J.  B.  Hauer,  fell 
from  the  roof  of  the  club  house  and  sustained  a  very 
severe  fracture  of  the  left  arm.  Willing  hands  assisted 
him  to  tbe  train  and  across  the  bay  to  the  French 
Emergency  Hospital. 

The  following  are  the  scores  for  the  day  in  the  dif-

SANTA  CRUZ  STREAMS  STOCKED. 

Game  Warden  Reed  of  Santa  Cruz  has  stocked 
Corralitos  creek,  in  the  southern  part  of  the  county, 
with  25,000  steelhead  and  rainbow  trout  Tbe  fish 
have  been  distributed  in  the  tributaries  in  Brown 
valley  and  Hazel  Dell.  Twenty-five  thousand  were 
also  turned  loose  today  in  Soquel  creek. 


The  biggest  catch  of  the  season  was  made  at  Santa 
Cruz  a  few  days  ago  when  in  about  a  half  a  day's 
sport  a  party  of  New  Yorkers,  composed  of  William 
W.  Tompkins,  Miss  Elsie  E.  Goodwin  and  C.  S.  du 
Mont,  landed  forty  salmon,  of  which  number  eighteen 
were  hooked  by  Miss  Goodwin.  The  estimated  weight 
of  the  fish  was  about  a  thousand  pounds. 


Striped  bass  and  also  black  bass  are  reported  to  be 
most  abundant  In  French  Camp,  Walker,  Ten  Mile, 
Twelve  Mile  and  Fourteen  Mile  sloughs — all  being  in 
the  vicinity  of  Stockton.  These  tributary  sloughs  of 
the  San  Joaquin  are  at  present  apparently  excellent 
feeding  places  for  the  fish.  Many  ang'ers  have  recently 
made  good  catches  of  large  sized  fish,  of  both  varie- 
ties, in  all  of  the  sloughs  where  there  were  good  stageB 
of  water.  

DOVE    SEASON,

following  counties:  San  Mateo,  Santa  Clara,  Placer, 
San  Joaquin,  Yuba  and  Stanislaus.  In  Sacramento 
county  tbe  open  season  begins  today. 


The  Union  Gun  Club  regular  monthly  ehcot  will 
take  plaoe  at  Ingleside  tomorrow  as  usual. 

There  will  be  a  mustering  of  the  Millwood  Gun  Club 
members  at  Mill  Valley  tomorrow  forenoon  when 
practice  shooting  will  take  place. 


REMEDY    FOR    THE    RATTLER'S     BITE. 

Superintendent  B.  F.  Daniel  of  the  territorial  prison 
of  Arizona,  tells  the  following  story  descriptive  of 
what  is  claimed  to  be  a  certain  cure  for  the  bite  of  the 
rattlesnake. 

He  first  heard  of  it  while  he  was  engaged  in  mining 
in  Mexico,  and  since  he  became  superintendent  of  the 
prison  he  has  seen  two  or  three  Mexican  convicts  who 
have  been  cured  and  who  had  the  scars  to  show  that 
they  had  been  bitten.  On  the  hand  of  one  of  them 
was  the  trace  of  a  centipede's  venomous  contact, 
which  poi6on  also  yields  to  the  remedy.  Its  existence, 
however,  is  not  widely  known,  even  in  Mexico,  and  is 
supposed  to  be  almost  entirely  unknown  out  of  the 
country. 

"There  is  in  every  rattlesnake  a  small  sac,  about  the 
size  of  a  Mexican  bean,  attached  to  the  intestines. 
This  is  filled  with  a  brownish  or  black  fluid,  and  that 
fluid  is  tbe  cure  for  the  bite.  If  it  ia  applied  imme- 
diately the  patient  will  not  even  suffer  any  swelling 
and  will  entirely  avoid  pain. 

Many  Mexicans  carry  the  fluid  with   them  at  all 


times  when  they  are  in  the  mountain  or  desert.  These 
Mexicans  kill  all  the  rattlers  they  can  find,  and  most 
of  them  store  tbe  fluid  in  a  receptacle  made  of  a  rifle 
cartridge  shell,  which  is  kept  tightly  corked." 

In  anatomical  descriptions  of  the  rattler  no  mention 
is  made  of  this  particular  sac,  though  air  sacs  are 
numerous  in  the  intestines  of  all  members  of  the  snake 
family. 

Mr.  Daniel  claims  he  has  seen  Mexicans  remove  it 
frequently. 

It  may  be  that  this  fluid  Is  the  secret  of  the  Moki 
Indians  and  accounts  for  the  immunity  that  they  en- 
joy from  the  poison  of  the  rattler.  Those  who  have 
attended  their  annual  snake  dances  and  have  =een 
dancers  bitten  have  wondered  that  the  bites  were  not 
fatal. 

At  any  rate,  the  secret  of  tbe  immunity  is  one  of 
the  most  carefully  guarded  secrets  of  the  rites  of  the 
Mokis  and  is  kept  within  a  secret  order  of  the  priest- 
hood. Dr.  D  J.  Miller  for  years  annually  attended 
these  dances  and  made  a  study  of  the  ceremonies. 
The  Indians  formally  adopted  him  not  only  into  the 
tribes,  but  advanced  him  in  the  priesthood.  The 
doctor  wanted  chiefly  to  learn  the  secret  of  the  poison 
an'idote,  and  he  was  told  year  after  year  that  the 
next  year  he  would  be  put  in  possession  of  the  secret. 
But  he  died  without  it. 


Event  No  1,  long  dislaoee,  was  nut  contested  SuDdaj,  a  tem- 
porary  fence  back  of  the  casting  platforms  making  it  impossible 
for  the  members  to  properly  handle  their  tackle.

TRADE  NOTES. 


IT    DOES    NOT    PIT. 

The  following  letter  was  sent  to  Mr.  J.  S.  Fanning: 
St.  Thomas,  Ont.,  May  20,  1905. 

Friend  Jack— It  may  interest  you  to  know  that  I 
have  recovered  my  Smith  Ejector  No.  200  250  You 
may  say  for  me  that  "Infallible"  will  not  Dit  a  gun, 
for  my  Brother  "Bob"— Bob  Enslie  and  myself 
used  the  gun  at  the  Dutcnman's  firing  120  shots  from 
it  on  December  20th.  The  gun  was  not  wiped  out 
before  it  was  stolen.  I  recovered  it  May  29th  still  uc- 
cleaned.  It  wiped  out  just  as  good  as  new,  without  a 
pit.  Will  have  my  shells  loaded  with  "Infallible' '  for 
the  coming  season.  JOE  COFFEY

WHAT     A     GOOD     GUN     DOES. 

The  wizard  of  Spirit  Lake  and  the  Parker  gun.— 
At  Dubuque,  la.,  June  13  nd  14,  Fred  Gilbert,  shoot- 
ing the  Parker  gun,  was  high  man  with  392  out  of 
400,  with  193  and  199  for  the  two  days  out  of  a  oossi- 
ble  200.  On  the  second  day  Fred  came  near  equaling 
his  two  previous  famous  records  of  200  straight  If 
he  had,  he  would  have  said  that  "it  was  the  gun." 


PETERS'    POINTS

shooters  of  the  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Co  's 
products  carried  off  the  honors  of  the  day.  The 
large  number  ot  contestants  using  Winchester  goods 
went  to  show  that  these  goods  are  held  in  as  high 
esteem  by  tbe  best  shots  of  Canada  as  they  are  in  the 
United  States.  The  professional  average  of  the

THE   FARM. 


Improvement  of  Dairy  Stock. 

It  has  often  been  said,  with  muchtrutb, 
that  there  can  be  found  in  the  United 
States  now  much  better  specimenB  of  the 
pure  bred  Jersey  9tock  than  can  be  found 
in  England  or  in  the  channel  islands, 
which  are  their  native  home.  There  are 
good  reasons  why  this  should  be  true. 
The  first  that  were  brought  here  were 
mostly  of  small  size,  and  produced  small 
amounts  of  milk  very  rich  in  butter  fat. 
Naturally  they  fell  into  the  hands  of  men 
■who  could  afford  to  pay  the  high  prices 
which  they  cost,  and  could  also  afford  to 
feed  them  liberally,  and  did  so.  They 
were  called  the  rich  man's  pets,  and  it  re- 
quired time  to  show  that  they  were  also 
good  cows  for  the  poor  man  who  desired 
to  make  butter  instead  of  selling  milk. 

In  New  England  they  were  turned  into 
the  best  pastures  instead  of  being  tethered 
out  with  a  rope  as  their  ancestors  had 
been  on  the  island.  The  exercise  they 
gained  in  roaming  the  fields  and  climbing 
the  hilsides  gave  them  more  muscles  and 
larger  frame.  As  our  pastures  occasionally 
failed  in  times  of  drought  to  furniBb  food 
enough,  the  farmers  began  to  grow  corn 
and  other  forage  crops  to  feed  them  at 
such  timeB.  Many  owners  also  supple- 
mented the  green  feed  in  Bummer  and 
the  hay  in  winter  with  grain  or  food 
containing  more  of  the  milk-producing 
elements  than  hay  alone.  This  kept  up 
the  good  reputation  of  their  peta  and  at 
the  same  time  led  their  calves  to  grow 
larger  and  had  a  tendency  to  increase  the 
milk  production  of  each  generation.  Ab 
they  became  more  numerous  the  process 
of  selection  began.  Calves  were  raised 
from  the  best  cows  and  those  that  were 
much  inferior  were  not  kept  to  grow 
many  calves.  More  than  all  the  rest, 
perhaps,  the  improvement  was  kept  up 
by  uBing  only  bulla  from  the  best  milk 
producing  cows,  others  being  killed  or 
sold  to  some  one  who  wished  to  infuse  a 
strain  of  Jersey  blood  into  his  native 
herds. 

As  a  result  of  this  practice  it  ie  as  easy 
now  to  find  Jersey  cows  weighing  eight 
hundred  to  nine  hundred  pounds  and  giv 
ing  sixteen  to  eighteen  quarts,  or  thirty 
four  to  forty  pounds  of  milk  a  day,  as  it 
was  forty  years  ago  to  find  them  weighing 
750poundaand  producing  ten  to  twelve 
quarts  of  milk  a  day.  And  they  have  also 
by  good  feeding  and  warm  stableB  been 
made  to  give  milk  more  months  in  Ihe 
year,  until  now  the  difficulty  with  many 
of  them  is  to  get  them  to  go  dry  even  a 
few  weeka  before  dropping  their  calves, 

Something  of  the  aame  improvement  has 
been  going  on  in  the  Holstein-Freisian 
stock  during  the  last  fifteen  years,  11  not 
longer.  Imported  here  aa  producers  of 
milk  to  the  amount  of  thirty  to  thirty-five 
quarts  a  day  it  was  generally  acknowl- 
edged that  their  milk  was  not  rich  in 
butter  fat.  They  found  in  our  pastures 
grasseB  more  nutritious  and  better 
adapted  to  making  butter  than  thoae 
growing  on  the  diked  meadows  of  Holland 
but  they  grew  leBS  luxuriantly,  and  their 
ownerB  found  it  necessary  to  grow  much 
green  fodder  to  uae  in  the  summer  aid 
ensilage  to  feed  during  the  winter  to  fill 
their  capacious  paunches,  and  keep  up  the 
large  flow  of  milk.  They  also  used  the 
Ejrain  feeds  with  these,  and  if  this  did  not 
show  much  effect  upon  the  quality  of  the 
milk  from  theae  first  cows,  it  has  shown 
in  later  generations.  The  proceBB  of 
saving  as  breeding  stock  the  progeny  of 
;hoee  cows  which  showed  by  the  Babcock 
nethod  of  testing  the  milk  that  their 
o  product  contained  the  most  butter  fat 
lided  in  the  good  work,  and  now  it  is  not 
inusual  to  find  herdB  whose  milk  shows 
in  average  test  of  33a  to  *  per  cent  butter 
at,  while  individual  cows  have  shown  i% 
o  5  per  cent  at  certain   periods  of   lacta- 


tion. There  ha9  also  been  a  tendency  to 
round  out  the  forms  of  tbe animal  better, 
thus  given  them  a  better  appearance  when 
fitted  for  beef. 

But  great  aa  has  been  the  progress 
made  by  these  two  pure  breeds  under 
American  handling,  it  is  but  Email  when 
compared  with  that  made  by  the  use  of 
the  pure-bred  bulls  for  crossing  upon 
our  native  cattle,  when  the  cross  has 
been  made  with  good  judgment  and  good 
feeding  and  care    has   accompanied  it. 

To  understand  some  of  the  causes  of 
success  or  of  failures  in  this  grading  up 
of  the  native  herds  or  scrub  stock,  as 
some  advocates  of  the  pure  breeds  pre- 
fer to  call  them,  it  is  necessary  to  look 
back  a  little  for  the  history  of  those 
herds.  They  are  not  native  in  tbe  sense 
of  indigenous  to  America,  but  are  de- 
scendants from  the  cattle  brought  here 
by  the  early  settlerB  of  New  England, 
mostly  between  1624  and  1670,  or  a  little 
later.  They  came,  as  did  the  Puritan 
settlers  themselves,  from  nearly  every 
county  in  England,  and  probably  were 
selected  from  the  best  those  countries 
had. 

Devonahire  aent  her  little  red  cattle 
and  Durham  her  larger  cattle,  well 
known  then  for  beef  qualities,  though 
the  Collins  Brothers  had  not  then  begun 
to  develop  them  into  what  we  know  at 
Short  Horns.  Hereford  sent  some 
white-faced  cattle,  aDd  the  Long  Horns 
were  doubtlesa  from  Yorkahire  and  Lan- 
caahire.  There  were  probably  a  few 
polled  cattle  from  Norfolk,  and  from  the 
northern  countries,  or  from  Scotland 
itself,  came  the  Ayrshires,  famous  for 
milk  production  even  then. 

Those  early  settlers  certainly  had  but 
little  knowledge  of  the  principles  of 
scientific  breeding  for  improvement,  but 
as  the  settlements  were  not  near  to- 
gether and  but  few  bulls  were  imported 
excepting  in  the  dams,  there  was  proba- 
bly much  inbreediDg  which  served  to 
fix  the  characteristics  of  the  various 
breeds  ao  firmly  that  some  of  the  ani- 
mals descended  from  them  could  have 
been  shown  as  lately  as  a  half  century 
ago  as  high  grades  of  the  various  breeds. 


Advantage  of  Pure  Bred  Bulls. 

1.  When  a  farmer  thinks  of  buying  a 
dairy  bull  to  improve  the  quality  of  Mb 
future  cowa,  he  Bhould  look  to  the 
quality  of  the  bull,  not  to  the  cheapness 
of  the  price.  The  character  and  relia- 
bility of  the  breeder  go  a  great  way  in 
such  a  transaction.  He  ahould  try  to  buy 
a  "future"  of  good  quality  that  will  run 
on  for  generations,  and  that  will  help 
increase  the  good  effecta  of  every  future 
aire  that  may  be  used, 

2.  He  should  always  breed  in  the  line 
of  his  first  effort.  If  hiB  firat  bull  was  a 
Holstein,  or  Guernsey,  or  Jersey,  or  an 
Ayrshire,  he  should  not  break  up  the 
line  of  prepotencies  and  make  a  rope  of 
sand  of  it.  By  a  wise  subsequent  selec- 
tion of  aires  of  the  aame  breed,  selecting 
all  the  time  for  breeding  power,  he  will 
enlarge  and  broaden  the  stream  of  dairy 
heredity.  What  we  are  after,  in  reality, 
ia  a  better  and  stronger  heredity. 

3.  About  the  most  reliable  basis  of 
calculation  as  to  the  power  of  transmis- 
sion, or,  as  it  is  called,  the  prepotency 
of  the  bull,  is  the  dairy  character  of  the 
grandmothers  and  great  grandmothers 
on  both  sides  of  his  pedigree.  He  is  the 
stored  up  result  of  what  lies  back  of  him. 
The  quality  of  his  ancestors  will  have 
more  effect  on  hia  offspring  than  the 
performance  of  his  mother.  She  gives  to 
him  of  what  she  inherited,  more  than  of 
what  Bhe  does.  She  may  be  rich  in 
inherited  qualities,  and  yet  for  some 
reason  be  herself  only  an  ordinary  per 
former.  On  the  contrary  she  may  be  a 
large  performer  at  the  pail,  simply  as  a 
sport,  but  not  having  a  strong  tide  of 
inheritance  in  a  dairy  direction,  she  has 
nothing  to  convey  to  son  or  daughter. 
This  willexplain  why  BOmany  Shorthorn 
cows  that  are  large  performers  them- 
selves, fail  utterly  to  convey  their  own 


dairy  quality  to  their  progeny.  Their 
line  of  breeding  is  from  a  beef  heredity 
for  many  generationa,  and  they  give  to 
their  progeny  what  they  inherited.  A 
cow  breeds  from  her  blood,  not  from  her 
udder.  So  we  must  have  dairy  pedigree 
as  well  as  dairy  performance,  if  we  get 
our  money'a  worth  when  buying  a  bull. 
4.  There  ia  one  thing  more  quite 
necessary  to  consider  in  buying  a  dairy 
bull.  Does  he  indicate  from  his  appear- 
ance that  he  possesses  a  strong,  individ- 
ual character?  Is  he  of  clear,  determined 
dairy  type,  full  of  nerve  energy,  so  that 
he  will  take  possession  of  the  female 
current,  with  which  he  is  brought  into 
contact,  and  thus  stamp  his  heifers  with 
the  quality  of  the  mothers  that  lie  back 
of  him?— Hoard's  Dairyman. 

Good  Prices  for  Jerseys. 

The  annual  Bale  of  imported  Jerseys  at 
Linden  Grove,  Cooperaburg,  Pa.,  property 
ofT.  S  Cooper  &  Sons,  took  place  recently 
In  all  103  head  were  disposed  of.  An 
aggregate  of  $61,060,  an  average  price  of 
$642  per  head,  was  received  for  95  head 

The  highest  prices  paid  were  $10,000  for 
bull  Eminent  61631,  by  Geo.  E.  Peer  of 
Chili  Station,  N.  Y.;  $2525  for  cow  Re- 
minder's Duchesa  187420,  by  Bowmont

taine's  Oxford  Pride,  by  Gedney  Farm 
White  Plains,  N.  Y.\  $2000  for  heiEer 
Agatba'a  Dainty  Lady  1S7478,  by  Gedney

187416,  by  Gedney  Farm  and  $1500  for 
cow  Eminent'a  Evasion  187443,  by  Bow 
mont  Farms.  The  95  head  mentioned  in 
eluded  8  bulls,  42  cows,  28  heifers  and  17 
calves.  The  8  bulls  brought  $12,520,  an 
average  of  $1565  per  head ;  the  42  cowa 
brought  $31,465,  or  $749  per  head  ;  the  28 
heifers  b. ought  $12,615,  or  over  $450  per 
head,  and  the  17  calves  brought  $4460,  or 
$292  per  head. 

Adding  Butter  Color  to  Salt. 


Butter  color  can  often  be  mixed  with 
the  salt  and  made  to  color  the  butter 
satisfactorily.  The  evenness  in  which 
the  color  is  added  in  this  way  depends  a 
great  deal  on  the  size  of  the  granules 
when  you  add  the  salt.  First,  mix  the 
color  thoroughly  with  the  Bait,  then  add 
this  colored  salt  to  the  granular  butter  in 
tbe  usual  way  and  by  allowing  it  to  stand 
between  workings  the  butter  may  be 
evenly  colored.  Working  a  number  of 
times,  but  a  little  at  each  time,  is  better 
than  trying  to  do  all  the  working  at  once, 
— Hoard's  Dairyman. 


The  day  of  sudden  ricbea  and  great 
fortunes  in  the  cattle  business  is  past — it 
has  departed  along  with  the  buffalo  and 
the  indian.  A  realization  of  this  fact 
and  an  earnest  endeavor  to  adjust  him 
aelf  to  the  new  conditions  ia  the  only 
Balvation  for  the  cattlemen  of  today. 
The  raising  of  cattle  is  no  longer  in  the 
class  of  the  faro  game.  It  ia  a  hard,  cold 
business  proposition.  We  must  have  no 
more  of  this  buying  of  a  bunch  of  Texas 
dogies,  turning  them  loose  and  coming 
around  after  them  in  two  or  three  years. 
Cattle  must  now  be  raised  by  hand,  bo  to 
Bpeak.  The  business  has  lost  its  fasci- 
nating point — the  gambler's  chance — and 
careful  business  methods  must  be  used  to 
inaure  succesa. 

o 

One  acre  of  alfalfa  will  pasture  ten 
hogs  from  the  opening  of  spring  until 
fall.  A  hog  weighing  100  pounds  when 
turned  out  will  double  its  weight  by  fall 
without  any  other  feed.  ThismeanB  1000 
poundsof  pork  against  600  made  by  an 
acre  of  corn.  Some  claim  that  it  Is  better 
to  give  no  other  feed,  furnishing  them 
with  plenty  of  water  and  salt,  but  our 
experience  is  that  a  little  corn  or  other 
grain  fed  every  day  la  of  great  advant- 
age. One  or  two  pounds  fed  the  first 
thing  In  the  morning  will  suffice  for  each 
animal. 


In  the  Sheep  Fold. 

Sheep  are  always  improving  or  they  are 
deteriorating. 

When  you  buy  a  sheep  for  breeding  be 
iure  it  ia  better  than  what  you  have. 

The  aecretof  euccessful  sheep  husbandry 
is  to  keep  good  Bheep  and  in  small  flocks. 

Unless  there  is  a  continued  effort  to 
improve  the  flocks  they  will  go  backward 
instead  of  forward.. 

In  purchaeing  a  ram  get  one  fully 
developed,  strong  in  limb,  straight-shaped 
,nd  th- roughly  typical  in  his  breed. 

If  a  radical  change  in  the  rations  is 
oade  too  suddenly,  growth  of  both  body 

nd  fleece  ia  liable  to  Buffer  a  check. 

The  lamb  carcass  can  be  produced  for 
less  than  the  aged  sheep  carcaas  and  will 
Bell  for  one-fourth  more  in  market. 

Uniformity  in  wool  can  only  be  accom- 
plished by  regular  feeding  and  keeping 
the  sheep  in  a  healthy  and  thriving  con- 
lition. 

Feeda  are  higher  than  uaual,  necessi- 
tating greater  care  in  the  management  of 
flocks,  if  the  profits  are  to  be  maintained. 

Wool  must  grow  steadily  and  uniformly 
as  it  will  have  points,  that  ia,  weak  places 
here  and  there  that  are  very  damaging. 


Hand  Separator  Cream. 


It  has  been  well  aaid  that,  considering 
the  email  volume  of  gathered  cream  com- 
pared with  the  whole  milk  eystem,  there 
aeema  little  reason  in  every  farmer  not 
having  a  perfect  arrangement  for  keeping 
it.  But  it  must  be  acknowledged  that  so 
faraa  we  are  able  to  learn  by  far  the 
greater  part  of  the  cream  from  hand 
separatora  is  still  kept  in  cellars  with 
vegetables  and  all  kinde  of  things  that 
have  an  odor  that  is  not -an  addition  to 
the  flavor  of  the  cream.—  Farmers'  Ad- 
vocate.

Butter  makers  differ  as  to  the  relative 
advantages  of  the  systems  of  salting  but- 
ter commonly  employed.  Some  prefer 
the  brine  Baiting  process  while  others 
place  most  confidence  in  the  old-fashioned 
system  of  dry  salting.  In  theory  the 
brine  salting  system  is  the  better,  aa  when 
thia  plan  is  followed  and  the  brine  is  in- 
troduced while  the  butter  ie  still  in  the 
form  of  minute  granules  the  grains  be- 
come evenly  coated  all  over  with  a  thin 
layer  of  salt  and  in  this  way  it  is  uniformly 
incorporated.  When  the  dry  salting 
system  is  followed  considerable  difficulty 
ia  experienced  in  effecting  uniform  in- 
corporation of  the  salt  with  the  mass  of 
butter,  even  when  in  perfectly  granular 
condition.  One  of  the  objections  to  the 
brine  salting  Bystem  is  that  it  does  not 
admit  of  such  heavy  salting  as  the  more 
common  aystem  of  applying  the  Bait  dry. 


The  thick,  atringy  condition  sometimeB 
noticed  in  cream  is  usually  due  to  tbe 
presence  of  what  are  known  as  slimy  or 
ropy  bacteria,  says  Hoard's  Dairyman. 
They  produce  a  ropineas  in  milk'  that 
may  be  all  the  way  from  a  alight  viscosity 
to  milk  that  is  so  thick  it  will  not  pour 
out  of  a  dipper.  When  such  conditions 
occur  there  is  but  one  way  of  stopping 
the  trouble,  and  that  is  by  a  liberal  ubs  of 
hot  water  and  washing  aoda.  The  water 
must  be  scalding,  and  all  utensils  tbat 
are  used  in  handling  the  milk  must  be 
thoroughly  cleaned  with  brush,  hot  water 
and  soda.

The  Scrub  Must  Go. 


The  Stod-mun  and  Farmer  for  nearly 
a  quarter  of  a  .  entury  has  been  trying  to 
tell  its  readers  the  advantages  to  be  gained 
by  breeding  op  their  live  clock.  There 
was  a  time  when  the  margin  between  the 
price  of  good  cattle  and  scrubB  was  not  ao 
great  as  now.    There  are  yet  some   ' 


stock  and  uBe  only  the  best  femaleB  and 
pure  bred  males  for  breeding  purposes.  It 
pays  to  do  so  now,  and  each  succeeding 
year  it  will  pay  bigger.    The  dogy  has 

had  bis  day.  

The  Swine  Industry. 


One    of    the  great   industries    of   our 
country   and   the  one  that  a    very  large 


ranchmen,  we  are  ashamed  to  say,  who  ( maj,irjty  of  the  farmers  are  more  inter, 
argue  against  the  use  of  improved  blood. 
We  are  pleased  to  say,  however,  that 
these  are  a  small  minority,  and  their 
kind  are  becoming  fewer  and  fewer  each 
year.  We  doubt  even  now  if  one  of  these 
mossbacks,  although  he  might  so  advise, 
would  himself  stock  hiB  ranee  with  a 
bunch  of  longhorned  scrub  cows  and  scrub 
bulls. 
Stockmen  are  in  the  business  to  make 
.  money,  and  they  must  produce  that  which 
the  market  demands.  Common  stuff  is 
not  wanted  now  by  anybody.  At  leaBt 
the  big  packers,  or  little  ones  either,  do 
not  want  scrub  stuff,  as  the  market  showB 
the  demand  ib  for  cattle  of  improved 
breeding  and  in  good  condition.  While 
the  market  is  bad  enough  still  a  fair  class 
of  stuff  has  brought  fair  priceB,  and 
always  will.  The  other  kind  is  hardly 
wanted  at  all.  Texas  has  made  great 
strides  in  the  improvement  of  her  catt^ 
but  this  work  is  hardly  yet  begun.  Better 
and  better,  and  still  better  cattle  must  be 


eeted  in  than  any  other,  and  the  one  that 
brings  in  more  money  frequently  to  pay 
taxes,  store  bills  and  doctor  bills,  ib  the 
swine.  Truly  the  bog  is  the  gentleman 
that  roots  the  mortgage  off  the  farm. 
Kuowing  the  great  importance  of  this  line 
of  farmers'  work  is  the  motive  that  in- 
duces me  to  present  a  few  thoughts  that 
may  be  beneficial  to  some  brother  farmer. 
If  there  is  any  one  claBB  of  people  that 
deserve  the  best  of  everything  I  believe 
that  class  is  the  toilers  of  the  soil,  the 
ones  that  feed  the  world. 

This  brings  me  to  speak  of  one  of  the 
good  things  that  every  farmer  should 
have;  that  is  a  herd  of  well  bred  hogs. 
The  day  of  the  hazle  splitter  is  past,  when 
it  took  twelve  to  twenty-four  months  to 
mature  them,  and  fit  them  for  market, 
and  if  one  at  that  age  weighed  250  or  300 
poundB,  his  owner  thought  he  had  a 
whopper. 

In  starting  in  the  business  a  man  Bhould 
be  very  careful  in  the  selection  of  his 


the  slogan.  Speaking  along  these  lines  foundation  stock.  The  first  thing  for  him 
the  Drovers  Journal  in  a  late  issue  said : 
Stockmen  who  have  been  on  the  Kan- 
sas City  market  the  past  few  days  have 
had  an  object  lesson  in  the  importance  of 
growing  high  grade  cattle  that  ought  to 
give  a  stimuluB  to  the  grading  up  of  the 
herds  of  the  southwest  country.  While 
all  kinds  of  cattle  have  been  declining 
and  thin  stock  was  a  drug  on  the  market 
buyers  from  the  corn  belt  states  were 
scouring  the  yards  for  high  grade  Btock 
Bteers,  and  many  of  them  had  to  be  satis- 
fied with  something  less  to  their  liking  or 
go  home  empty  handed.  There  were 
plenty  of  cattle  in  the  pens  and  owners 
were  anions  to  sell  them  at  prices  prac- 
tically of  the  buyer's  own  making,  but  the 
quality  was  not  right.  Cattle  are  very 
much  like  potatoes  in  one  respect. 
When  prices  are  high  any  kind  will  sell, 
but  the  cheaper  they  get  the  more  par- 
ticular purchasers  are  as  to  quality. 
Dogy  steers  are  cheap  because  nobody 
wantB  tnem,  and  nobody  wants  them  be- 
cause they  are  cheap— cheap  in  quality  as 
well  aB  in  price. 

Dogy  steers  never  make  market  top- 
pers, and  still,  as  a  rule,  it  costs  more  to 
put  one  hundred  pounds  of  gain  on  them 
than  it  does  on  high  grade  steera.  The 
high  grade  steer  has  a  better  frame  on 
which  to  put  flesh,  has  more  stretch  to 
him,  bas  a  better  constitution,  iB  a  better 
feeder  and  yields  more  pounds  gain  to 
the  DuBhel  of  grain  than  the  dugy.  Some 
times  it  pays  to  feed  dogies,  justaB  it  pays 

sometimes  to  raise  email  potatoes— if  you 

can't  raiBe  large  on*>B.    If  potatoes  are 

BCarce  and   consequently  high   the  frugal 

housewife  will  be  content  to  prepare  the 

little  ones  for  the  table  notwithstanding 

the  extra  labor  and    patience  required. 

When  beef  steers  are  high,  packers  will 

buy  dogies  and  pay  good  prices  for   them. 

In  the  fall  of   1903  several  feeders  took 

dogy  steers   to   their   feed    lots  from    the 

Kansas  City    market,    buying    them    at 

very  low  prices.     In  the  early  summer  of 

1904  all   kinds   of   beef  steers  were   high 

and  these  dogies,  if  fat,  commanded  good 

prices  and   showed   good  profits  for  the 

feeders. 
Right  now  all  kinds  of  beef  steers  are 

low  and  the   best  are   preferred   by   the 

killers, because  they  are  relatively  cheaper 

than  the  doggies.    If  the  packers  want 

cheap    beef    now    they    buy    high  grade 

steers,  because  there  is  a  high  per  cent  of 

kill  to  them.    This  is  the  case  nine  times 

out  of   ten.     Observing   feederB   see  this, 

and  that  is  why  they  want  the  high  grade 

Btockers  and  feeders  and   willing  to  pay 

the  prices  for  them.    The  moral   is   plain 

as  day.    It  is  that  it  behooves  stockmen 

to  cull   out   their    pennyroyal     breeding 


hybridizing.  We  can  well  imagine  hie 
surprise  when  he  saw  the  long  eared  colt 
browsing  among  the  cacti  and  sage  brush 
in  the  wilderness  and  discovered  that  it 
was  neither  like  its  sire  nor  like  the 
broncho  which  he  owned  as  its  dam. 

Hybridizing  fell  under  the  ban  of  the 
Mosaic  law,  but  ao  respectable  had  the 
mule  become  that  it  seems  to  have  been 
the  favorite  animal  of  the  princes  of  the 
blood,  for  Abs  lorn  on  that  fatal  day  when 
his  army  waB  defeated  in  the  trans- 
Jordanic  country  attempted  to  flee  away 
on  a  mule.  Possibly  the  princes  were 
trying  to  dodee  the  law  that  they  shouid 
net  multiply  horBeB  to  themselveB  by  do- 
ing what  Beemed  the  next  beBt  thing, 
ualng  mules  as  their  favorite  chargers,  an 
ancient  example  of  keeping  the  letter  of 
tbe  law  while  violating  its  spirit — not  un- 
common even  among  very  highly  respect- 
able people  in  later  times.  Therefore  do 
not  despise  the  mule,  but  consider  him, 
and  consider  him  wisely,  and  consider 
alBo  whether  it  is  not  quite  as  profitable 
in  certain  sections  of  the  country  to  grow 
mules  as  horses. 


to  do  is  to  decide  what  breed  he  would 
rather  handle,  and  there  are  many  good 
ones.  The  Berkshire,  Duroe-Jersey, 
Chester  Whites,  Poland-Chinas,  Tam- 
worth  and  Thin  Eine  are  all  popular 
breeds  and  have  their  admirers.  I  be- 
lieve this  is  as  it  should  be,  as  it  gets  up 
a  spirit  of  competition  and  the  different 
breeders  strive  to  excel  in  bringing  their 
herds  to  the  highest  point  of  excellence. 
I  believe  this  idea  of  difference  of  opinion 
being  right  was  fully  demonstrated  when 
the  preacher  said :  "If  we  were  all  of  the 
same  opinion,  then  every  man  would 
want  my  wife  Sallie."  Just  then  one  of 
the  men  spoke  up  andBaid:  "YeB,  and 
before  God,  if  they  were  all  of  my  opinion 
nobody  would  want  her," — and  so  it  goes. 
I  shall  now  Bpeak  of  the  general  make- 
up of  the  future  brood  sow.  She  should 
have  a  short  head,  wide  between  the 
eyea  and  a  good,  plump  eye,  a  motherly 
look,  ears  not  too  large.  Discard  a  hog 
with  saddle  skirt  ears.  They  are  difficult 
to  drive,  their  ears  blind  them.  Head 
well  set  up  to  the  shoulders,  a  good  broad 
back  slightly  arched,  good  hams  that 
come  well  down  on  hocks,  deep  sides  and 
good  length,  must  be  roomy  in  order  to 
raise  large  litters.  Ought  to  have  ten  or 
twelve  well  developed  teatB  and  of  course 
Bhould  be  chosen  from  a  dam  that  is 
known  to  be  a  good  Buckler  and  that 
raiBed  large  litters.  She  should  have  a 
large  bone  and  stand  well  upon  her  feet. 
To  the  casual  observer  these  would  ap- 
pear to  be  email  matters,  but  I  wish  to 
Bay  that  the  farmer  who  succeeds  is  the 
one  who  looka  well  after  the  small  details 
of  the  farm. — E   W.  Robinson  in  Ex. 


New  Way  to  Make  Butter. 

By  way  of  a  Chicago  paper  we  learn 
that  a  committee  of  the  Franklin  Institute 
of  Philadelphia  has  made  public  a  report 
on  the  Tay'or  process  of  making  butter, 
and  recommending  that  Mr.  Taylor  re- 
ceive the  John  Scott  medal  and  premium. 
In  this  process  sweetcream  is  poured  into 
shallow  pans,  the  bottoms  of  which  are 
covered  with  absorbent  pads.  These  pads 
are  composed  of  heavy  white  blotting 
paper  and  absorb  from  the  cream  nearly 
all  of  its  constituents  except  the  fat.  The 
cream  fat  remains  as  a  layer  on  the  sur- 
face of  tbe  pads  and  after  several  hours 
standing  it  may  be  rolled  off.  In  thiB 
condition  the  product  contains  rather  too 
much  water  and  milk  proteids;  on  this 
account,  and  because  of  the  absence  of 
salt,  it  does  not  keep  well.  If,  however, 
the  separated  butter  fat  be  worked  and 
salted  in  the  same  way  as  the  ordinary 
churned  product,  the  result  is  a  fine 
grade  of  butter.  The  process  has  the 
advantage  of  cheapness,  since  the  pads 
may  be  used  over  and  over  again  lasting 
it  ia  said  for  six  months  of  daily  use.  The 
labor  of  churning  is  avoided,  and,  on 
account  of  the  use  of  fresh  cream  instead 
of  thft  which  has  stood  to  ripen  for 
Beveral  days, the  finished  product  keeps 
better  than  butter  made  in  the  ordinary 
way.

The  Mule. 


Although  the  mule  has  no  pride  in  bia 
paternity  nor  hope  of  posterity,  it  never 
theless  has  an  ancient  if  not  honorable 
lineage,  says  a  writer  in  an  exchange. 
The  first  record  of  it,  at  least  m  bible 
timee,  is  to  be  found  in  the  thirty-sixth 
chapter  of  the  book  of  Genesis,  where  tbe 
historian  records  the  descendants  of 
Esau.  Dukes  were  plentiful  in  those 
days,  but  none  of  them  seem  to  have  done 
anything  in  particular  to  beget  other 
dukes,  until  we  read  of  one  Anab,  the 
eon  of  Zibeon.  Zibeon  does  not  seem  to 
be  a  duke  at  all,  the  nobility  not  running 
in  that  line,  but  he  begat  a  son  named 
A  nali,  of  whom  the  historian  pauses  to 
record  as  follows:  "This  was  that  Anah 
that  found  tbe  mules  in  the  wilderneaa, 
as  he  fed  the  asses  of  Zibeon  his  father." 
This  man  did  something,  and  is  about  the 
only  one  of  tbe  lot.  He  discovered 
apparently  by   accident,   tbe    method  of 


First  select  some  good  breed,  the  one 
best  adapted  to  your  locality,  and  most 
to  your  liking,  and  then  establish  a  sys- 
tem in  caring  for  the  herd  and  be  regular 
in  carrying  it  out  in  every  detail,  writes 
E.  M.  Pike  in  Massachusetts  Ploughman. 
Feed  at  the  same  time  each  day,  and 
tbe  same  amount.  Do  not  think  that  you 
can  feed  three  times  one  day  and  feed  the 
same  amount  at  two  feeds  the  next  and 
let  the  cows  go  with  the  third  feed  and 
get  tbe  same  result.  It  does  not  matter 
so  much  how  many  times  a  day  you  feed 
as  it  dees  to  feed  the  same  number  of 
times  each  day.  Water  as  regularly  as 
as  you  feed  and  do  not  forget  to  card 
and  brush  the  cows  as  regularly  as  you 
feed  and  water. 

Even  the  cleaning  of  the  stable  and 
all  other  work  about  the  Btable  Bhould  be 
done  at  the  same  time  each  day,  as  the 
cows  will  soon  learn  to  know  what  time 
they  are  to  be  fed  and  watered  and 
worked  around,  and  will  expect  it,  and 
become  uneasy  and  restless  if  the  expected 
operation  ia  delayed,  but  will  lie  down 
peacefully  and  quiet  after  it  iB  performed. 
Cows  should  have  their  place  in  the 
stable,  and  be  tied  in  the  same  stanchion 
each  time.  Thia  will  avoid  much  con. 
usion  in  tieing  ttiem  up,  as  each  cow  will 
Boon  learn  her  place  and  take  it,  and 
besides  a  tieup  full  of  cowb  looks  much 
better  if  the  cows  are  arranged  in  order 
according  to  size,  being  graded  from  one 
end  of  tbe  tieup  to  the  other. 


it  is  much  more  convenient  t< 
feed  a  lot  of  cows  if  they  are  in  the  sami 
place  each  time  so  that  the  feeder  knowi 
just  which  one  he  is  feeding  even  if  hi 
cannot  see  her.  As  hardly  any  two  coulc 
require  the  same  amount,  this  will  bi 
found  a  great  convenience.  Feed  regu 
larly ;  water  regularly ;  groom  regularly 
tie  up  regularly,  but  above  all,  milk  regu 
larly. 

A  cow  allowed  to  go  any  length  of  tim< 
beyond  her  ueual  milking  time  becomei 
uneasy  and  restless  to  the  detriment  o 
both  quantity  and  quality  of  milk. 

A  cow  also  becomes  used  to  a  milkei 
and  should  have  the  same  one  right  along 

The  idea  of  a  man,  whom  I  recently 
met,  although  quite  original  and  perhaps 
having  some  good  features,  was  I  believe, 
wrong  in  tbe  main.  He  let  his  cows  come 
into  the  stable  and  take  their  place  any- 
where it  happened,  and  then  at  milking 
time  he  and  his  men  began  at  one  end  '" 
and  milked  the  cowb  as  they  came  to  ' 
them.  ThiB  he  said  he  did  because  it  was 
difficult  to  get  good  milkers,  and  in  this 
way  he  got  a  chance  to  milk  each  cow 
himself  once  in  a  while  and  find  out  il 
she  was  all  right  He  seemed  to  forget 
that  the  poor  milker  got  the  same  chance 
to  poorly  milk  all  of  the  cows  aa  well 
himself  and  thus  damage  the  whole  herd, 

Establish  a  ByBtem  about  your  stable  rii, 
w  rk  and  then  abide  by  it  to  the  nearest  »'* 
perfection  poBBible  and  see  if  it  does  not 

pay.  i 

Just  so  sure  as  tbe  number  of  grazing 
animals  is  allowed  to  increase  beyond 
the  capacity  of  the  range  we  must  expect 
more  or  less  loss.  It  is  never  safe  to 
attempt  to  graze  seventy-five  or  eighty 
head  upon  a  section  of  land  which  will 
only  safely  carry  fifty  head  the  yeai 
round,  although  if  natural  conditions  are 
exceptionally  favorable  during  a  particu 
lar  year  as  they  are  this  seaaon  a  man 
may  overstock  hiB  paatures  and  realize  a 
profit  during  that  year.  On  the  contrary, 
should  the  natural  conditions  not  prove  tc 
be  as  favorable  as  the  stockman  had  hoped 
his  losses  at  seventy-five  or  eighty  head 
to  the  square  mile  will  largely  exceed  the 
normal  losses  were  the  land  stocked  onlj 
to  the  extent  of  its  minimum  carrying 
capacity.  Not  only  will  the  pecuniar* 
loss,  or  the  probability  of  such  loss,  btl 
less  and  the  actual  profits  on  the  cattle  b<: 
more  in  the  case  of  undergrazing,  but  thfi 
land  itself  will  gradually  increase  in  valuii 
and  the  grazing  capacity  be  augumentec 
from  year  to  year.  In  one  case  the  lanc^ 
is  stocked  beyond  its  carrying  capacity,  S(j 
that  it  rapidly  and  continuously  deterio, 
rates  in  value ;  in  the  other  case  constant 
increase  in  value  may  be  confidentl; 
expected,  both  of  the  land  and  its  pro; 
ducts  during  the  same  series  of  years.

Judging  Live  Stock. 

Stock  judging  is  a  Bkill  naturally 
possessed  by  Bome  and  it  is  a  science  that 
the  breeder  and  feeder  should  understand. 
The  agricultural  colleges  are  giving  prac- 
tical instruction  in  judging  live  stock 
that  is  one  of  the  moBt  faBcinating  studies 
of  the  college,  as  it  includes  the  knowledge 
of  improved  Btock  breeding.  The  students 
visit  many  prominent  breeders  of  the 
different  breeds  and  at  the  state  fairs  and 
at  the  Chicago  International  they  test 
their  judgment  and  skill. 

Prof.  Ferguson,  of  the  Michigan  Agri- 
cultural College,  gives  the  following  rules 
to  hiB  students : 

1.  Have  confidence  in  your  own  powers. 

2.  Concentrate  your  thoughts  on  the 
breed  and  breed  type  of  the  animals  you 
are  working  upon. 

3.  Do  not  hurry.  Take  time  to  decide. 
Having  done  so,  Btick  to  it.  "Be  sure  you 
are  right,  then  go  ahead." 

4.  If  possible  watch  the  class  as  it 
comes  into  the  ring.  There  is  often  some- 
thing about  the  style  and  carriage  of  the 
winner  whicn  marts  him  out  as  he  walkB. 

5.  Take  a  minute  to  look  over  the  line 
from  as  near  the  center  as  possible  in 
order  to  get  a  general  idea  on  conforma- 
tion. 

6.  Then  pasB  elowly  clear  around  the 
ring,  inspecting  each  animal  from  front 
and  rear. 

7.  Never  be  satisfied  without  using 
your  hand  in  addition  to  your  eyes.  Ap- 
pearances are  often  deceitful. 

8.  In  handling  always  work  from  front 
to  rear.  With  cattle  work  on  the  right 
side,  approaching  the  animal  from  behind. 

9  First  pick  out  the  winner  of  the 
class;  then  use  it  as  your  standard  in 
placing  second  and  third. 

10  When  first  is  placed,  briefly  sum 
up  its  strong  points. 

11.  Look  for  characteristics  and  most 
common  breed  defects. 

- 12.  Pay  no  attention  to  either  the  men 
with  you  or  the  crowd  around  you.  Your 
business  is  with  the  animals. 


muscle,  form  and  bone.  Build  the  frame, 
the  fat  can  go  on  later.  A  fat  little  pig  is 
in  poor  condition  to  grow.  You  want 
them  sinooth,  mellow,  stretchy,  and  you 
will  then  build  a  good  form. 

It  is  better  to  raise  eight  good  pigB  than 
twelve  inferior  ones.  There  will  be  more 
money  in  the  former  than  in  the  latter, 
though  they  outnumber  them.  Quality  is 
more  important  than  quantity. 

The  pig  is  a  clean  animal,  if  you  will 
allow  him  to  be  so,  although  some  people 
compel  tbem  to  wade  through  mud  leg 
deep  to  eat  their  feed.  This  is  not  their 
fault. 

All  troughs  and  feeding  pens  should  be 
kept  scrupulously  clean.  Don't  let  any 
feed  remain  after  they  get  through  with 
the  food  in  the  trough.  It  sours,  moulds 
and  is  unhealthy. 

If  you  permit  the  beds  of  your  little 
pigs  to  become  wet,  damp  and  unchanged, 
your  pigs  will  soon  be  troubled  with  sore 
tails  and  scours. 

The  healthy  pig  is  the  profitable  pig. 
Do  all  things  towardB  improving  and 
maintaining  the  health  if  you  would  make 
a  profit  in  the  hog  business. 

Be  Bure  the  pigs  have  a  trough  for 
themselves  that  cannot  bo  reached  by  the 
mother  or  other  hogs.  It  teaches  them  to 
cat  and  prevents  any  shrinkage  during 
weaning.    It  is  a  self-weaner.

Washing  the  churn  is  something  we 
cannot  be  too  particular  about.  First, 
rinse  out  in  clean,  cold  water,  then  wash 
in  hot  water  and  scald  thoroughly.  If 
you  have  a  dash  in  your  churn,  take  it 
all  apart  and  see  that  it  is  well  scalded, 
and  then  dry.  Keep  your  churn  in  a 
clean,  dry  place.  Don't  let  it  stand  dirty 
any  longer  than  possible  after  it  is  used. 
All  milk  utensils  should  be  rinBed  in  cold 
water  then  washed  in  hot  water  and 
Bcalded.  Don't,  use  soap,  a  little  soda  is 
better  and  will  help  to  sweeten  them 
and  remove  all  odors.  Have  cloths  and 
towels  on  purpose  for  that  and  see  that 
they  are  kept  clean  and  pure.  We  notice 
where  there  is  complaint  about  butter 
not  gathering  in  cold  weather  is  mostly 
because  the  cream  is  too  cold  when 
churned.  An  engineer  without  water  or 
a  steam  gauge  on  hia  engine  is  no  worse 
off  than  a  dairyman  without  a  ther- 
Imometer.  Keep  your  cream  well  stirred, 
j  No  unnecessary  delay  should  be  allowed 
'  between  the  process  of  handling  the 
cream  and  making  the  butter. 

The  women  of  the  farm  should  assert 
their  rfghts  and  have  the  improved 
methods  of  caring  for  milk  and  butter  and 
thuB  have  a  desirable  article  to  sell  which 
has  not  cost  so  much  hard  labor  to  pro- 
duce. It  is  said  butter  costs  from  eleven 
to  thirty  cents  per  pound.  We  should 
manage  our  ways  so  our  butter  will  not 
cost  so  much,  and  that  iB  by  introducing 
better  cows,  feeding  better  and  employing 
better  methodB  throughout  the  work.  A 
noted  writer  sayB  there  are  four  Cb  to 
look  after  sharply  in  successful  dairying. 
They  are  cows,  care,  comfort  and  cleanli-

PHOTOGRAPH  of  DAN   PATCH*1:56  E^CsE"!!  WONDERFUL  MILES 


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

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  July  22,  1905, 


SWEET  MARIE  WAS  BEATEN  by  Tiverton  in 
their  match  race  at  Belmcnt  Paik,  Philadelphia 
last  Wednesday,  and  according  to  the  telegraphic 
account  of  the  event  which  appears  on  another  page, 
the  Galileo  Rex  gelding  had  a  rather  easy  race.  The 
track  which  is  controlled  by  the  Belmont  Driving 
Club  has  not  been  raced  over  by  the  fastest  trotters 
and  pacers  as  its  record  was  2:11A  for  trotters  prior  to 
this  race.  Tiverton  reduced  it  to  2:10J  the  first  heat 
and  again  to  2:07f  in  the  second  and  final  heat,  a  very 
fast  mile  at  this  time  of  year,  although  both  he  and 
Sweet  Marie  worked  in  2:08  only  last  week.  The  race 
was  a  very  disappointing  one  as  the  mare  broke  in 
both  heats  when  put  to  her  speed,  and  was  evidently 
out  of  shape  or  condition.  It  is  a  peculiar  fact  tha1 
match  races  seldom  result  in  close  fighting  contests, 
and  they  are  generally  unsatisfactory.  There  is  no 
particular  reason  why  this  6hould|be  true,  but  it  is 
nevertheless.  That  Sweet  Marie  should  be  beaten 
easily  in  2:10J  and  2:07|  is  absurd  unless  the  daughter 
of  McKinney  is  decidedly  off,  which  we  believe  must 
be  the  case.  At  any  rate  we  are  not  going  to  accuse 
Alta  McDonald  of  pulling  her,  or  suggest  that  the  mare 
be  taken  away  from  him  as  was  done  last  year  when 
Robert  Smith  lest  a  heat  or  two  with  her,  as  we 
believe  that  like  Mr.  Smith  he  would  have  won  if  he 
could.  No  horse,  no  matter  how  rugged  and  powerful 
can  trot  his  or  her  best  every  day.  There  are  times 
when  they  are  not  right,  and  we  presume  Sweet  Marie 
was  not  in  condition  last  Wednesday.  These  great 
trotters  meet  again  at  Readville,  August  2d,  and  the 
chances  are  a  much  better  contest  will  be  witnessed. 
It  may  be  that  Tiverton  is  a  better  horse  than  the 
California  trotter  this  season,  but  we  will  have  to  be 
convinced  of  this  fact  by  a  race  where  he  finishes  in 
front  of  her  when  the  time  is  faster  than  the  mare's 
present  record.  We  hope  they  may  meet  on  equal 
terms  at  Readville  next  month.  Should  both  be  in 
perfect  shape  there  will  be  a  horse  race  and  the  winner 
will  have  a  record  of  2:04  or  better  even  though  the 
season  is  rather  early  for  such  fast  time. 


week.  A  large  number  of  $400  purses  will  be  offered 
later.  The  Arizona  Fair  Association  has  a  new  $50,000 
plant,  and  will  give  one  of  the  most  unique  expositions 
ever  given  in  the  United  States.  Special  rates  will  be 
made  by  both  the  Southern  Pacific  and  the  Santa  Fe 
railroads,  and  as  the  weather  of  Arizona  is  ideal  in 
December,  the  fair  will  draw  thousands  of  people  and 
be  a  great  success.  The  new  track  at  the  fair  grounds 
is  cne  of  the  best  in  America,  so  that  fast  time  may  be 
expected.  California  horsemen,  especially  those  living 
in  the  southern  end  of  the  State,  will  find  the  trip  to 
Phoeoix  a  very  pleasant  and  not  expensive  one.  Six 
$1000  purses,  three  for  trotters  and  three  for  pacers, 
with  ten  or  a  dozen  additional  purses  of  $400  each 
makes  up  a  program  that  is  very  attractive.  A  new 
and  novel  condition  governing  these  stakes  is  that 
while  they  do  not  close  finally  until  Nov.  1st,  entries 
can  be  made  at  any  time  previous  to  that  date,  and 
any  records  made  after  the  day  on  which  entiy  is  made, 
will  not  he  a  bar.  This  should  attract  a  large  list  of 
early  entries,  and  as  payments  are  but  $15  at  the  time 
of  entry,  $15  November  1st,  and  $20  the  night  before 
the  race,  the  loss  will  be  very  light  if  one's  horse  goes 
wrong  before  November  1st,  which  is  after  all  racing 
is  over  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States.  We  advise 
all  our  readers  who  own  or  are  racing  trotters  or 
pacers  this  year,  to  read  the  advertisement  of  the 
Arizona  Territorial  Fair  carefully,  and  send  to  this 
office  or  to  W.  N.  Tiffany,  Secretary,  Phoenix, 
Arizona,  for  entry  blanks. 


THE  NEXT  MEETING  on  the  brief  California  Cir- 
cuit this  year  will  be  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  at 
Santa  Rosa.  It  will  open  on  Wednesday,  August 
16th,  and  there  is  every  prospect  of  its  success  be- 
yond any  meeting  held  this  year.  The  list  of  entries 
in  all  the  class  races  are  large,  and  in  addition  there 
will  be  four  colt  races  decided  which  are  already 
causing  a  great  deal  of  talk  among  horsemen  gener- 
ally, and  which  will  result  in  some  very  low  records 
being  made.  In  the  three-year-old  divisions  especially 
is  fast  time  expected.  Several  three-year-old  pacers 
are  beating  2:15  in  their  work,  and  the  three-year-old 
trotters  are  doing  so  well  that  there  is  a  chance  that 
Zombro's  record  of  2:13  made  in  1895  may  be  equalled. 
The  two-year-olds,  both  pacers  and  trotterB,  are  also 
a  high-class  lot  and  will  furnish  some  of  the  best  con- 
tests of  the  meeting.  Santa  Ro9a  track  was  never  in 
better  shape  than  it  is  at  the  present  time  Lessee 
Frank  Turner  says  it  will  be  just  as  safe  and  fast  as 
he  can  make  it,  and  as  he  is  an  expert  at  putting 
tracks  in  order,  there  is  every  probability  that  the 
track  record  of  2:06  will  be  broken  during  the  meet- 
ing. We  advise  every  horseman  in  California  to  be 
in  Santa  Rosa  during  the  Breeders  meeting,  and  as  a 
friendly  warning  would  suggest  that  they  engage 
rooms  immediately,  as  while  there  will  be  accommo- 
dations for  all,  the  best  rooms  will  be  taken  by  the 
time  the  meeting  opens. 


A  FREE  FOR  ALL  PACE  has  been  opened  by 
**  the  California  State  Agricultural  Society  in  place 
of  the  one  that  was  advertised  to  close  July  10th  but 
failed  to  fill.  The  amount  of  the  purse  is  $600,  and  as 
this  amount  secured  the  best  race  of  the  Los  Aageles 
meeting  for  this  class  of  horses  it  should  attract 
sufficient  entries  at  the  State  Fair  to  make  a  good 
contest.  There  are  more  than  a  dozen  pacers  in  train- 
ing at  the  present  time  in  California  all  of  which  have 
a  chance  to  win  this  contest.  They  are  Zolock  2:05}, 
Edwin  S,  2:08,  Dr.  W.  2:08J,  Tidal  Wave  2:09,  Vision 
2:09},  Jonesa  Basler2:ll},  Bonnie  Ailse  2:08S,  Virginia 
2:09},  Mi=s  Idaho  2:101,  Ira  2:101,  Daedalion~2:10,  Tom 
Ca"-neal  2:081,  Alone  2:09},  and  several  others.  While 
Zolock  is  looked  upon  by  some  as  almost  invincible, 
there  is  no  certainty  that  he  can  beat  the  others  every 
time  he  starts,  and  then  he  may  be  shipped  East  after 
the  Santa  Rosa  meeting.  With  five  or  six  of  the  best 
of  the  others  entered  the  State  Fair  free  for  all  pace 
will  be  one  of  the  best  contests  ever  placed  on  the 
program.     Entries  close  August  1st. 


THE  PERSON  who  has  been  reporting  the  harness 
race  meeting  at  Windsor  this  week  for  the  As- 
sociated Pre6sis  "a  bird."  He  tells  about  the  races, 
but  fails  to  say  what  horses  started  and  what  time  was 
made.  He  gives  the  information  that  Danube  won 
the  2:17  trot  in  straight  heats,  but  don't  say  how  fast 
any  of  them  were,  or  what  horses  he  beat.  In  the 
account  of  another  race  he  stated  that  Bonnie  Wilkes 
was  distanced  in  the  second  heat  and  High  Seven  had 
a  hard  time  beating  the  flag,  but  no  mention  is  made 
of  any  other  horses  or  the  time.  Such  a  thing  as  a 
summary  is  doubtless  an  unknown  quantity  to  the 
individual  who  is  doing  the  Windsor  races  for  the 
Associated  Press.  He  probably  views  the  races  from 
the  three-quarter  pole  and  sees  nothing  but  the  last 
horses  at  the  finish.    He  is  a  bird.

Dr.  Wm  B.  Clowe,  Walla  Walla— Ilo  Ilo  2:15  was 
bred  by  Mr.  W.  E.  Meek  of  Haywards,  and  is  by  his 
horse  Welcome  2:101  out  of  Rosemary  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes  2:165,  second  dam  Hybla  by  Director.  He  is  a 
bay  gelding  with  both  hind  ankles  white.  He  was 
foaled  in  1898,  and  a  picture  of  him  appeared  in  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  when  he  was  a  three- 
year-old  in  1901,  and  again  in  November  1903,  after 
he  took  his  present  record.  There  are  many  instances 
of  the  same  name  being  given  two  or  more  horses. 
Under  the  rules  of  registration  now  in  force,  the 
name  of  a  stallion  once  registered  cannot  be  duplicated. 
Ilo  Ilo  2:15  is  a  gelding  and  not  registered,  and  there 
was  nothing  to  prevent  his  owner  claiming  the  name 
when  starting  him  in  a  race,  even  though  you  did 
register  a  colt  by  Alexis,  foaled  in  1897,  by  that  cog- 
nomen. Perhaps,  if  you  could  give  us  the  name  of 
the  man  to  whom  you  sold  Iloilo  31434  we  might  be 
able  to  trace  the  present  whereabouts  of  the  horse,  if 
alive.  

One  of  the  features  for  State  Fair  week  at  Sacra- 
mento will  he  a  driving  parade  one  evening.  The 
Sacramento  Driving  Ciub  has  the  matter  in  charge 
and  it  is  believed  that  with  the  eighty  members  and 
many  outsiders  who  have  volunteered  to  take  part,  a 
very  interesting  parade  will  be  arranged. 


Harness  Game  Suffering  in  the  East. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  harness 
racing  is  being  injured  by  the  anti-betting  laws  that 
have  been  passed  to  stop  the  continuous  running 
meetings  that  have  become  obnoxious  to  the  general 
public.  J.  L.  Hervey  writes  as  follows  in  the  Chicago 
liecord-Serald  about  the  situation: 

Horse  racing  is  an  extremely  expensive  sport;  the 
cost  of  production  of  ,  high-class  harness  horse  is 
great;  the  cost  of  assembling  hundreds  of  them  to 
race  for  purses  of  four  or  five  figures  is  immense.  As 
a  business  proposition  it  seldom  breaks  even,  and 
without  the  betting  angle  impossible  except  in  con- 
junction with  fairs  and  expositions. 

The  public  has  always  realized  thisand  has  tolerated 
limited  betting  in  many  localities  where  prohibitory 
legislation  existed  because  of  it.  This  applies,  how- 
ever, only  to  meetings  where  the  betting  has  been  a 
minor  detail,  as  it  has  always  been  of  harness  racing. 
When  it  comes  to  be  the  "whole  thing,"  as  it  has 
become  in  the  "runniog  game,"  the  complexion 
changes;  what  the  public  tolerated  it  then  demands 
the  suppression  of. 

That  the  volume  of  betting  at  harness  race  meetings 
was  ever  sufficient  to  constitute  any  menace  to  public 
morality  is  not  to  be  believed,  and,  had  no  other  form 
of  racing  been  pursued,  that  there  would  now  be  any 
anti-betting  or  poolselling  law  in  any  stales  can 
scarcely  be  considered  possible.  It  has  been  the  out- 
rageous abuse  of  the  betting  privileges  at  the  ruunitig 
tracks  and  their  not  infrequent  open  and  insolent  de- 
fiance of  law  or  order  and  decency  tbat  have  precipi- 
tated the  legislation  which  is  paralyzing  racing  of  all 
kinds,  under  which  the  innocent  as  well  as  the  guilty 
are  being  put  out  of  business. 

The  condition  is  a  vexatious  and  a  disquieting  one. 
Just  what  the  outcome  will  be  no  prophet  can  foresee. 
A  reasonable  betting  law  would  resolve  the  difficulty. 
But  there  are  these  obstacles  in  the  way  of  such  laws. 
In  the  first  place,  while,  eventually,  most,  if  not  ail, 
of  the  United  States  will  enact  them,  they  are  not  yet 
ready  to— the  "time  is  not  ripe. "  In  the  second  place, 
a  betting  law  tbat  would  be  regarded  as  reasonable 
by  reasonable  horsemen  would  never  satisfy  the  run- 
ning faction — and  as  long  as  they  cannot  get  what 
they  want  it  is  plain  that  they  can  and  will  prevent 
anything  else.     And  there  ycu  haveit. 

Palmer  Clark,  of  the  Inter-Ocean,  also  notes  the  con- 
ditions existing  and  attributes  them  to  the  same  cause. 
He  says: 

That  the  gambling  feature  associated  with  racing 
has  been  conducive  to  this  undesirable  condition  there 
can  be  no  mistake,  and  while  I  have  never  boosted 
the  wild  speculative  features  connected  with  the 
game,  yet  all  sane  people  must  sooner  orlater  come  to 
the  conclusion  that  the  spirit  that  gambled  on  the 
existence  of  a  northwest  passage  or  a  continent  be- 
yond the  seas,  as  when  America  was  discovered,  can- 
not be  restrained  by  legislation  or  hampered  by  the 
restrictions  of  the  long-haired  hypocrites  who  never 
discovered  anything  and  never  will. 

Do  not  let  me  be  misunderstood;  there  is  nothing  in 
this  that  would  infer  that  I  am  in  favor  of  the  mush- 
room cigar  store  poolroom,  where  the  youth  of  the 
city,  and  even  women,  can  be  bunkoed  out  of  their 
hard-earned  pittance  and  driven  to  the  many  crimes 
that  attend  the  desperation  that  follows,  or  the  con- 
tinual farce  of  racing  horses  the  year  round  in  citieB 
where  the  racing  and  horses  are  made  simply  the 
mode  and  paraphernalia  of  the  gamblers,  and  subser- 
vient to  them. 

My  contention  is  that  the  legislators  of  the  country 
should  pass  limited  pool  laws  restricted  to  racing 
inclosures  for  a  limited  period,  where  the  owner  who 
risks  $50  entrance  fee  to  win  a  pur6e  of  $500,  which  is 
the  same  element  of  speculation  that  adheres  to  the 
buying  of  a  corner  lot,  or  any  other  speculation,  can 
have  the  privilege  of  backing  his  horse  for  a  bigger 
purse  in  the  pools  if  he  is  so  inclined,  or  where  the 
man  who  can  afford  to  raise  horses  can  have  the 
privilege  of  backing  his  judgment  of  the  other  man's 
horse's  ability.  Such  speculation  rarely  bas  any  more 
demoralizing  effect  than  will  attend  any  other  line  of 
human  effort. 

The  breeding  of  the  American  light  harness  horse  is 
a  business  of  far  too  great  importance  to  be  allowed  to 
die  out  through  the  machinations  of  race  track  man- 
agers who  consider  nothing  save  their  avaricious 
natures,  and  the  American  people,  as  reflected  in  the 
wisdom  of  its  great  agricultural  population,  the  best 
and  most  progressive  element,  cannot  afford  to  sit  idly 
by  and  see  any  such  disaster. 

By  all  means  every  man  who  owns,  breeds  or  loves 
the  light  harness  horses  should  spend  a  little  time  and 
energy  this  fall  to  get  to  his  individual  legislator  and 
see  that  the  matter  is  presented  in  its  true  light. 

Do  not  ridicule  the  well  meaning  efforts  of  those 
who  are  honestly  trying  for  the  moral  uplifting  of  the 
people — such  action  speaks  well  for  those  so  engaged, 
but  see  to  it  tbat  they  are  properly  informed  of  the 
true  conditions. 

George  A.  Bain,  the  well  known  blue-grass  auction- 
eer, has  been  elected  secretary  of  the  Kentucky  State 
Fair  with  offices  in  Lexington.  Mr.  Bain  has  a  very 
wide  acquaintance,  especially  in  this  state,  and  has  set 
out  resolutely  to  make  the  state  fair  a  permanent 
Lexington  event. 

Many  men  are  still  looking  for  handsome  buggy 
horses,  well  broken,  high-headed,  well  finished  and  in 
good  flesh.  If  a  little  bit  of  speed  can  be  shown  the 
price  will  be  higher  than  if  it  cannot.

His  Last  "Copy." 

The  following  news  Items  written  for  the  Bbeeder 
and  Sportsman  by  Blaine  S.  McMahan,  who  was 
killed  at  Fresno,  July  12th,  by  a  train  running  over 
him,  were  found  in  his  bos  at  the  Grand  Central  Hotel 
and  ate  probably  the  last  he  ever  wrote  before  meet- 
ing his  untimely  death: 

Al  McDonald  has  had  the  misfortune  to  have  one  of 
his  best  horsesgo  lame  for  him.  This  one  is  the  bay 
paong  guiding  Little  Jib  owned  by  Fleury  Gommet  of 
San  rraneisco.  When  he  was  shipped  from  Pleasanton 
Little  Jib  was  in  great  shape  and  was  thought  to  be  a 
horse,  so  it  seems  unfortunate  that  he  should  go 
wrong  before  he  had  a  chance  at  the  money. 

The  big  bay  gelding  Argyle  by  Charles  Derby  raced 
very  dissapointingly  at  Los  Angeles  for  J.D.  Springer. 
This  horse  trained  well  at  Pleasanton  and  Mr.Sprlnger 
thought  he  was  about  the  best  thing  in  his  stable  but 
he  failed  to  show  his  acoustomed  speed  last  week  and 
was  behind  the  money  in  both  of  his  races. 

While  warming  up  for  his  race  at  Los  Angeles  the 
pacer  Doctor  J.  by  Doctor  Hicks,  owned  by  E  A, 
Servis  and  in  the  string  ot  Fred  Chadbourne.wrenched 
himself  severely  in  one  of  his  shoulders  and  since  has 
been  unfit  to  race.  He  is  rounding  to  in  good  shape 
and  will  be  ready  to  start  for  the  money  in  a  week  or 
so. 

The  pacing  gelding  Tom  Carneal  2:08}  by  Diablo 
2:09$  out  of  Mountain  Maid  (also  dam  of  Kenneth  C. 
2:17)  has  been  sold  by  S.  K.  Trefry  to  Mr.  Bransford 
of  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah.  Mr.  Bransford  drove  Tim 
Carneal  an  easy  mile  in  2:11  at  Los  Angeles  and  the 
big  pacer  will  probably  be  seen  at  the  matinees  in  his 
new  home. 

The  great  broodmare  Grace  Kaiser,  dam  of  Coney 
2:02  and  several  others,  has  been  sold  to  James  Coffin 
of  San  Francisco.  Grace  Kaiser  has  a  strikingly 
handsome  black  filly  at  her  side  by  Zolock  2:06  and  is 
thought  to  be  in  foal  to  him  again. 

Edwin  S  2:08}  paced  a  first  class  race  against  Zolock 
and  Kelly  Briggs  at  Los  Angeles  and  will  be  a  hard 
horse  to  beat  at  Fresno.  Previous  to  his  race  last 
week  he  had  not  shown  a  mile  better  than  2:10  and 
was  hardly  ready  for  a  hard  race,  yet  he  was  right 
there  three  times  in  2:08}  or  better  and  paced  the  last 
halves  of  two  miles  in  1:01}. 

The  boys  are  already  saying  that  the  McKinney 
gelding  Adam  G.  2:14}  is  surely  another  George  G. 
2:06}  and  it  does  look  as  if  he  is  about  the  highest 
class  new  trotter  of  the  season.  He  is  a  perfectly 
galted,  level-headed  trotter,  that  races  like  an  old- 
timer  and  he  showed  in  his  race  last  week  that  2:10 
would  be  easy  for  him.  This  fellow  was  bred  by  Prof. 
E.  P.  Heald  of  San  Francisco  and.  is  now  owned  by 
J.  T.  and  Willard  Zibbell. 

After  his  two  smashing  races  at  Los  Angeles  laBt 
week  there  was  quite  a  little  talk  of  sending  Zolock 
2:06  East  this  fall  and  it  may  be  that  the  fast  son  of 
McKinney  will  be  seen  at  Cincinnati,  Lexington  and 
Memphis.  There  will  be  a  class  for  him  at  these 
meetings  and  if  he  races  there  as  well  as  he  did  at 
Los  Angeles  he  will  give  the  Grand  Circuiters  a  good 

run  for  the  money.

Death  of  Douglas  Cone. 

Douglas  S.  Cone,  only  son  of  Mrs.  Anna  R.  Cone 
and  the  late  J.  S.  Cone,  died  July  16th,  at  the  Palace 
Hotel,  San  Francisco,  after  a  brief  illness,  of  typhoid 
pneumonia  He  was  38  years  old  and  had  been  a 
prominent  citizen  of  Butte  county  eyer  since  attaining 
his  majority. 

He  was  born  at  the  family  home  near  Red  Bluff  and 
resided  nearly  all  his  life  on  the  home  place,  known  as 
the  Cone  Ranch,  where  he  and  his  wife  formerly  Miss 
Lewis  of  San  Francisco  have  dispensed  a  delightful 
hospitality.  He  was  very  prominent  in  the  social  and 
business  life  of  the  community,  having  been  active  in 
miny  new  enterprises  and  a  leader  in  all  movements 
for  the  improvement  of  livestock  of  all  kinds,  partieu- 
'arly  horses.  He  purchased  the  stallion  Kinney  Lou 
2:07j  as  a  colt  and  sold  him  to  Budd  Doble,  his  present 
owner.  His  herd  of  Hereford  cattle  was  one  of  the 
largest  and  best  on  the  Coast. 

fn  1900  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  Republican  National 
Convention  which  met  at  Philadelphia  and  nominated 
MoKtnley  and  Roosevelt.  For  many  years  he  was  a 
Director  of  the  District  Agricultural  Sooiety  for 
Tehama  county  and  took  a  leading  part  in  all  county 
and  district  fairs 

Mr.  Cone's  illnesB  dates  from  last  winter,  when  he 
was  thrown  from  a  buggy  while  returning  from  a 
trip  to  the  Navajo  mine  and  suffered  a  compound 
fraoture  of  bis  right  leg.  For  some  unexplained  reason 
the  bones  refused  to  knit  and  he  was  compelled  to  under- 
go many  painful  operations.  He  had  been  undergoing 
treatment  In  Lane  Hospital,  San  Francisco,  shortly 
before  his  fatal  Illness,  and  was  still  under  the  sur- 
geon'6  care  when  he  contracted  the  disease  which 
caused  his  death. 


The  Butler  String. 

The  horses  in  James  Butler's  East  View  Farm  Btring 
left  New  York  /or  Windsor  last  week.  Before  they 
left  De  Ryder  stepped  most  of  the  memberB  of  the 
string  some  moderately  fast  miles,  aBd  after  they  have 
raced  at  Windsor  this  week  they  should  be  ready  and 
able  to  hold  their  own  with  the  other  horses  entered 
down  the  "big  line."  Direct  View  2:08f,  who  will  in 
all  probability  be  the  farm's  starter  in  the  2:08  classes 
during  the  early  part  of  the  season,  was  given  two 
miles  last  Friday  in  2:10}  and  2:10}.  Consuella  S. 
2:07f  has  not  beaten  2:15,  as  she  is  not  to  be  started 
at  the  earlier  meetings.  Fred  Direct,  the  M.  and  M. 
candidate,  was  given  two  miles  Saturday  in  2:14}  and 
2:15,  easily,  while  Danube,  the  brown  stallion  by 
Direcho,  son  of  Direct  2:05},  also  eligible  to  the  slow 
classes,  trotted  in  2. 13  and  2:14,  with  the  middle  halves 
each  in  1 :05}.  Mamie R.  2:15}  trotted  in  2:13}  on  Tues- 
day and  has  2:00  speed.  She  is  the  best  gaited  trotter 
in  the  stable,  and  if  she  proves  to  be  game  when  the 
test  comes,  should  win  a  number  of  races.  Minter 
2:28},  the  Expedition  mare,  worked  two  miles  on  Fri- 
day in  2:13}  and  2:14.  Aristo2:08  and  Princess  Athel 
2:14,  two  trotters  that  were  not  taken  to  California 
last  winter,  have  not  been  asked  to  step  much  faster 
than  2:20  as  yet,  as  they  will  not  he  raced  till  later 
In  the  season.  There  are  three  pacers  in  the  stable, 
and  while  they  all  wear  the  hobbleB,  they  have  shown 
that  they  have  enough  speed  to  warrant  starting  them 
against  the  best  sidewheelers  eligible  to  their  classes. 
Bolivar  2:21  was  given  two  miles  on  Friday  in  2:10 
and  2:07},  while  Josie  2:16  stepped  heats  in  the  same 
time.  Madam  Direct,  a  black  three-year-old  entered 
to  start  first  at  Buffalo,  worked  two  miles  in  2:18  easily. 


Breeding  of  McNeer. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  —  Dear  Sir: 
In  your  issue  of  July  1st,  in  a  notice  of  the  approach- 
ing auction  sale  of  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart,  of  Colusa,  (see 
page  5)  the  breeding  of  McNeer's  dam  is  given  as  by 
Silver  King  which  is  incorrect.  McNeer  was  bred 
and  raised  by  the  veteran  horseman,  Suel  Harris,  of 
Yuba  City,  Sutter  county,  Cal.,  who  sold  him  in  his 
six-year-old  form  to  the  Knaggs  BroB.,  of  Meridian, 
same  county,  whose  great  misfortune  it  was  to  lose 
him  by  death  less  than  a  year  ago  at  seven  years  of 
age.  He  was  by  the  great  McKinney,  first  dam  Viola 
by  Antevolo  2:191,  second  dam  Esmeralda  (dam  of 
Don  Lowell  2:14},  Director  H.  2:27  and  others)  by 
Brigadier,  third  dam  Lady  Slatterry  by  Cal.  Dexter 
(son  of  Whipple's  Hambletonian  725  and  Kate  Leslie 
by  Gray  Messenger  155)  fourth  dam  Empress  by 
Langford  (sire  of  dam  of  Liliian  Wilkes  2:i7i)  by 
Williamson's  Belmont. 

It  is  thus  plain  that  McNeer  was  one  of  the  stoutest 
bred  sons  of  his  illustrious  sire,  and  his  individuality 
was  fully  up  to  his  royal  breeding.  He  stood  16  hands 
in  height  and  weighed  fully  1200  pounds  and  was  a 
horse  of  great  strength,  substance  and  symmetry. 
He  was  also  a  very  impressive  and  promising  sire  and 
his  death  will  prove  a  decided  loss  to  the  breeding 
interests  of  the  section  where  he  was  owned,  for  when 
the  size,  style,  speed  and  tractability  of  his  sons  and 
daughters  become  known,  they  will  be  eagerly  sought 
after.  This  note  is  not  prompted  by  any  personal 
interest  in  Mr.  Peart 's  Bale  or  stock,  but  by  an  inti- 
mate acquaintance  with  and  great  admiration  for  this 
grand  young  sire.  I  have  not  the  pleasure  of  even  an 
acquaintance  with  Mr.  Peart.    I  am  yours  truly,

The  Detroit  correspondent  of  the  Chicago  Horseman 
in  writing  about  the  horses  working  at  Grosse  Point 
track  has  the  following  to  say  about  a  California 
trotter:  Lady  Zombro,  the  M.  and  M.  candidate  for 
which  the  rail  birds  were  all  waiting,  did  not  show 
her  alleged  two-minute  speed,  working  easily  in  2:16, 
however.  A  lot  of  others,  including  stake  candidates, 
went  easy  miles  around  2:20.  There  Is  a  lot  of  gossip 
going  the  rounds  about  this  Lady  Zombro,  by  the 
way.  That  she  is  for  sale  is  no  secret,  and  Trainer 
Hodges  has  talked  to  several  well-known  DetroiterB, 
offering  to  show  them  a  mile  that  would  make  their 
hair  stand  on  end.  They  provided  him  with  their 
addresses  and  promised  to  be  within  call,  yet  the  call 
has  not  yet  arrived.  The  mare  is  going  sound,  too,  so 
the  Detrolters  are  guessing  without  having  yet  hit  on 
any  satisfactory  answer. 


Tiverton  Beats  Sweet  Marie. 


Philadelphia,  July  19.— The  speedy  New  York 
trotting  gelding,  Tiverton  2:04},  easily  defeated  Sweet 
Marie  2:04|  in  a  $5000  match  race  today  on  the  track 
of  the  Belmont  Driving  Club.  Tiverton  won  in  two 
straight  heats. 

About  5000  persons  saw  the  two  Grand  Circuit  Btars 
race.  Sweet  Marie  drew  the  pole.  They  were  sent 
away  on  even  terms  in  the  first  heat. 

Tiverton  set  the  pace  and  before  the  quarter  pole 
waB  reached  had  a  slight  lead.  As  Sweet  Marie 
passed  the  quarter  pole  she  broke  and  Tiverton  took 
the  pole.  At  the  half  mile  post  Tiverton  led  by 
several  lengths.  Sweet  Marie  again  broke  at  the 
three-quarter  pole  and  Tiverton  passed  under  the 
wire  well  in  hand  and  two  lengths  In  the  lead.  His 
time  for  the  mile  was  2:10},  lowering  the  track  record 
for  trotters  in  a  race  one  secend. 

Tiverton  led  at  the  quarter  in  the  second  heat  and 
increased  it  to  three  lengths  at  the  half-mile  post. 
Going  to  the  three-quarter  pole  Sweet  Marie  picked 
up  some  of  the  lost  ground  and  both  trotters  came 
into  the  stretch  almost  on  even  terms.  The  spectators 
looked  for  a  close  finish,  but  at  the  eighty-yard  pole 
the  mare  broke  and  lost  her  chance  to  win.  Tiverton 
came  under  the  wire  in  a  fine  stride  several  lengths  in 
the  lead.  His  time  was  2:07|,  which  places  the  track 
record  at  a  figure  hard  to  beat.

The  horseB  bred  by  the  Occidental  Land  and  Im- 
provement Company  of  Sharon,  Cal.,  are  large,  band- 
some,  sound  and  serviceable.  A  consignment  of  thirty 
of  them  will  be  sold  by- Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  at  1732 
Market  street  next  Monday  evening. 


Rosalind  by  Stam  B.  now  carries  a  reoord  of  2:21}, 
made  in  a  winning  race  at  Pueblo,  Colorado. 


It  la  said  that  Stanley  Dillon  2:07$  will  not  be  a 
member  of  Ed  Geers'  string  after  the  close  of  the 
Detroit  meeting  next  week. 


B.  S.  Dillon  started  twice  at  the  New  HaveD,  Con- 
necticut, meeting  the  last  week  in  June,  and  won  one 
race  and  was  second  in  the  other. 


The  two-year-old  division  of  the  American  Horse 
Breeder  Futurity,  for  foals  of  1903,  will  be  trotted  on 
Tuesday,  Aug.  22d,  at  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting  at 
Readville,  Mass. 

A  four-year  old  pacing  filly  by  Star  Pointer  1:59} 
from  Javelin  2:08}  worked  a  mile  in  2:16J  at  Cleveland 
the  other  day.  As  she  looks  very  promising  she  will 
be  saved  over  until  next  year. 


August  9th  is  the  date  set  for  the  dispersal  sale  of 
the  standard  bred  horseB.  colts  and  fillies  owned  by 
Mr.  E.  C.  Peart  of  Colusa.  Many  fine  young  animals 
are  to  be  sold.    Send  to  Mr.  Peart  for  a  catalogue. 


There  Is  considerable  talk  of  a  race  track  being 
built  at  Portervllle,  Tulare  county.  There  are  many 
horses  bred  and  owned  in  that  section  that  would  be 
trained  at  home  if  there  were  a  track  in  that  locality. 


There  is  a  rumor  to  the  effect  that  the  first  two 
minute  horse,  Star  Pointer  1:59},  will  be  brought  to 
California  this  fall  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  season 
with  him  here  next  spring.  He  made  the  season  at 
Two  Minute  Farm  this  year  at  a  fee  of  $100. 


During  the  Detroit  meeting  next  week  Lou  Dillon 
and  Major  Delmar  will  trot  an  exhibition  race  for  a 
gold  cup.  Mr.  Billings,  who  owns  both  horses,  will 
drive  the  mare  and  his  friend  Mr.  Devereux  will  pilot 
the  gelding.    It  will  be  an  interesting  exhibition. 


Hallock  M.,  a  bay  pacer  by  Hal  B.  2:04},  won  the 
2:15  pace  at  Johnstown,  Pa.,  July  7th,  and  took  a 
record  of  2:15}.  Hal  B.  is  the  stallion  that  made  an 
early  season  at  Los  Angeles  this  year,  and  was  after- 
wards Bold  to  August  Erickson  of  Portland,  Oregon. 


An  early  report  indicates  that  there  will  be  some 
thirteen  horses  left  in  the  M .  &  M.  when  all  the  checks 
are  in  for  the  July  payment.  For  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  there  will  be,  it  is  thought,  twelve 
starters.  This  will  make  the  usual  fields  for  both  of 
these  big  events.  The  indications  now  are  that  the 
quality  of  the  horses  are  better  than  last  year. 


A  dapple  gray  gelding  by  Strathway,  sire  of  ToggleB 
2:08},  John  Caldwell  2:11},  etc.,  is  offered  for  Bale  in 
our  advertising  columns.  The  owner  has  had  to  go 
East,  and  has  left  horse,  buggy  aDd  harness  for  sale 
with  Thos.  Kinney  at  the  Fashion  Stables.  Read  the 
description  of  this  horse  in  the  advertisement.  He  ia 
a  good  one  and  can  be  had  at  a  very  reasonable  figure. 


The  Morgan  stock  is  having  a  regular  boom  over 
East,  and  is  bringing  good  prices.  Several  of  the 
horses  and  mares  to  be  sold  by  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co., 
Monday  evening  next,  are  rich  in  Morgan  blood. 
They  were  bred  by  C.  E.  Needham  of  Bellota,  Cal. 


J.  B.  Stetson,  the  well  known  trainer,  who  is  now  at 
Portland  and  will  race  a  string  of  horses  over  the 
North  Pacific  Circuit,  writes  that  he  will  winter  in 
California  thiB  year.  He  states  that  he  was  near  to 
freezing  in  Denver  last  winter,  where  there  was  zero 
weather  for  six  weeks  at  one  stretch,  with  the  mercury 
as  low  as  17  below  at  times. 


Strathway  2:19,  after  a  fair  season  at  Pleasanton, 
was  shipped  Thursday  of  this  week  to  his  owner, 
Graham  E.  Babcock  at  Coronado,  where  there  are 
nearly  twenty  mares  waiting  to  be  bred  to  him. 


The  old  established  firm,  the  O.  F.  Willey  Company, 
has  the  best  line  of  fine  carriages,  buggieB,  speed  vehi- 
cles, etc.,  ever  seen  in  San  Francisco.  This  firm  is 
agent  for  Brewster  &  Co.  of  New  York,  C.  S.  Caffrey 
of  Camden,  New  Jersey,  and  other  makers  of  high- 
class  goods.  Their  place  of  business  is  1622  Market 
street  and  23  Hayes  street,  under  the  St.  Nicholas 
Hotel.  

What  is  supposed  to  be  the  biggest  horse  in  this 
country  is  Royal  Prince,  now  on  exhibition  at  Dream- 
land, Coney  Island.  He  arrived  from  Jamestown, 
N.  Y.,  on  Monday.  Royal  Prince  is  a  dapple  gray, 
over  nineteen  and  a  half  hands  high.  He  is  five  years 
old  and  weighs  3700  pounds.  His  sire  was  a  Percheron 
weighing  1500  pounds,  and  his  dam  was  of  Arabian 
stock,  weight  1700  pounds. 


The  Rose  Hotel  at  Pleasanton  has  again  changed 
banda.  The  new  proprietor  is  F.  L.  Skaggs  a  well  and 
favorably  known  hotel  man  who  has  been  connected 
with  the  St.  James  at  San  Jose  and  the  St.  Nicholas 
and  Manhattan  hotels  of  San  Francisco. 


Tom  Carneal  2:08}  was  sold  during  the  Los  Angeles 
meeting  to  Mr.  J.  S.  Bransford  of  Salt  Lake  City,  who 
will  use  him  in  matinees  there.  Tom  Carneal  is  by 
Diablo  2:09},  and  his  dam  is  the  great  broodmare 
Mountain  Maid  by  Cresco  that  ia  the  dam  of  that  good 
three-year-old  colt  Kenneth  C.  2:17  by  McKinney. 
Mountain  Maid  has  two  foals  by  Stair  B.  2:11}  that 
are  very  promising. 

C.  A.  Durfee,  of  Oakland,  and  Claude  Jones,  of 
ModeBto,  returned  from  Los  Angeles  this  week  where 
they  had  been  in  attendance  on  the  meeting  of  the 
Harness  Horse  Association.  Although  both  gentle- 
men picked  more  losers  than  winnera  they  say  the 
meeting  was  one  of  the  best  they  ever  attended. 
When  the  losers  find  no  cause  for  oomplaint  the  rac- 
ing muBt  have  been  first  class,  and  the  meeting  con- 
ducted just  about  right. 


W.  T.  Harris  of  Oakland  is  the  owner  of  a  bay 
gelding  by  Bay  Bird  that  stands  17  hands  high  and 
can  trot  a  quarter  in  34  seconds.  The  gelding  has 
been  very  ill  with  pinkeye,  but  is  recovering  and  may 
be  started  at  the  Hollister  meeting  if  one  is  given  this 
fall.  Mr.  Harris  owns  a  farm  in  San  Benito  county, 
and  spends  considerable  of  biB  time  there.  He  sayB 
there  is  considerable  interest  in  harness  horse  matteis 
among  the  people  of  that  section  and  the  Hollister 
meeting  iB  sure  to  be  well  attended .  He  owns  the  well 
bred  stallion  Sidney  Howard  and  has  bred  him  to 
quite  a  number  of  good  maree  this  year. 


The  citizens  of  Eureka,  Humboldt  county,  prooose 
to  hold  a  fair  this  year  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  the 
directors  of  the  local  fair  association  had  about  con- 
cluded not  to  hold  one.  The  Eureka  fairs  have 
always  been  largely  attended  and  the  enterprising 
business  men  of  the  city  concluded  they  would  not 
permit  it  to  be  side  tracked  this  year,  so  they  called  a 
meeting  and  decided  upon  a  fair  that  Bhould  be  second 
to  none  ever  held  in  the  county.  Now  that  the  fair 
directors  have  the  assurance  that  the  citizens  want  a 
fair  they  will  proceed  with  all  the  energy  they  can 
muster  to  make  it  a  big  success. 


At  Libertyville,  Illinois,  July  4th  four  races  were 
given.  The  first  event  was  the  2:15  pace.  It  was  won 
by  Billy  A.  a  bay  gelding  by  Fast  Nation  owned  by 
Mr.  J.  C.  Adams  of  Phoenix,  Arizona.  The  best  time 
was  2:18.  

Don't  forget  the  auction  sale  of  standard  bred 
herses  at  Fred  H.Chase  &  Co.'s  salesyard,  Monday 
evening  next,  July  24th.  This  sale  will  begin  at  8 
o'clock.  Several  well  staked  and  promising  colts  are 
to  be  sold.  

Murray  Howe,  Secretary  of  the  Memphis  Associa- 
tion, Is  out  with  two  $ti000  purses  for  the  meeting 
opening  October  16th.  These  purses  are  for  2:09 
class  pacers  and  2:14  class  trotters,  and  entries  close 
Monday,  the  24th  inst. 


The  colt  stakes  of  1908,  opened  by  the  Agricultural 
Association  of  San  Benito  county,  have  closed  with 
six  entries,  made  respectively  by  Robert  Orr,  R.  P. 
Lathrop,  George  E.  Shaw,  Raymond  Mead,  Irvine 
Hall  and  Frank  Blessing. 


Interna,  the  chestnut  pacer  by  Diablo,  dam  Biscari 
by  Director,  that  took  a  record  of  2:17  at  Billings, 
Montana,  last  year,  has  paced  Id  2:12  in  his  work  this 
season  over  the  Great  Falls  track  and  will  be  started 
in  all  the  big  stakes  for  the  fast  pacing  classes  on  the 
Montana  circuit.  

The  report  which  has  been  circulated  saying  that 
Nora  McKinney  has  been  lame  is  not  true.  Mr.  Frank 
B.  Simpson,  manager  of  the  Empire  City  Farm,  writes 
The  Horse  World  that  Nora  McKinney  is  not  lame 
nor  has  she  ever  been  lame  since  she  was  purchased 
by  the  Empire  City  Farm. 


ADAM    G.     2:14    1-4 

Samuel  B.  Whitehead,  wellknown  to  every  horseman 
on  this  coast,  will  leave  San  Franoisco  today  on  the 
steamer  Korea  for  a  trip  around  the  world,  expecting 
to  be  away  from  home  about  a  year.  Mr.  Whitehead 
in  the  old  days,  when  auction  and  mutual  pools  were 
the  only  systems  used  to  handle  the  bettings  at  the 
fairs  and  race  meetings  on  this  coast,  sold  pools  at  all 
the  principal  meetings  here,  and  was  one  of  the  best 
auctioneers  ever  seen  on  the  block.  He  has  not  been 
in  the  best  of  health  lately  and  takes  this  trip  doubly 
for  the  purpose  of  regaining  it  and  seeing  the  sights 
of  the  world.  His  many  friends  will  wish  him  a  joy- 
ful trip  and  a  happy  return. 

A  stock  farm  owner  advertised  for  a  trainer. 
"Wanted,"  so  ran  the  advertisement  he  put  in  a  turf 
paper,  "A  first  class  trainer  for  stock  farm.  Must  be 
sober  and  industrious,  be  able  to  shoe  horses,  mend 
harness,  look  after  the  broodmares  and  keep  the 
farm's  books.  None  but  a  competent  race  driver  need 
apply.  Best  of  references  must  accompany  applica- 
tion. Wages,  $40  per  month  and  house  rent."  The 
advertisement  brought  but  one  applicant,  and  he 
wrote  as  follows:  "I  am  certain  I  have  the  ability  to 
fill  every  requirement  demanded  in  your  advertise- 
ment, and  I  would  like  the  job.  After  thinking  it 
over,  however,  I  don't  see  any  advantage  in  free  house 
rent.  If  I  did  all  the  things  the  advertisement  asks 
for  I  wouldn't  have  any  time  to  live  in  the  house." 

The  hundreds  of  horsemen  who  know  Secretary 
Murray  Howe  of  Memphis,  Tenn.,  will  learn  with 
sorrow  that  Richard  Howe,  his  five-year-old  son,  met 
death  in  Chicago,  June  29th.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Howe  and 
their  three  children  arrived  in  Chicago  from  Mem- 
phis, Mrs.  Howe  reaching  the  home  of  friends  on 
Lincoln  avenue  about  noon.  Richard,  in  running 
across  the  street,  was  confronted  by  two  wagons  go- 
ing in  opposite  directions.  He  hesitated  until  one 
wagon  had  passed  and  then  rushed  forward.  Owing 
to  the  fact  that  the  driver  had  no  chance  to  seethe 
child  and  pull  up  his  horse,  the  wagon  passed  over 
the  child's  body  after  hurling  him  violently  to  the 
ground.  Death  was  instantaneous.  Murray  Howe 
accompanied  the  body  to  Memphis  the  following 
evening,  the  funeral  services  having  been  held  in 
Chicago.  The  driver  of  the  wagon,  a  colored  man, 
was  in  no  way  to  blame  for  the  frightful  accident,  and 
the  coronor's  inqueBt  80  decided.  Unlike  the  auto- 
mobilists  who  run  over  people  and  then  sprint  away, 
he  went  into  the  house  on  his  own  accord  and  re- 
mained there  until  the  police  arrived. — Horse  World. 


The  accompanying  picture  of  the 
gelding  Adam  G.  2:l-i},  now  owned  by 
J.  W.  and  Willard  Zibbell,  was  taken 
two  years  ago  at  Vallejo.  At  that 
time  William  McGraw  of  Silas  Skin- 
ner fame,  who  has  for  years  past  been 
employed  at  the  navy  yard  there,  was 
using  Adam  G.  as  a  road  horse.  Prof. 
E.  P.  Heald,  President  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Asso- 
ciation, owned  the  horse  at  the  time 
and  was  permitting  Mr.  McGraw  to 
use  him.  The  editor  of  the  BREEDER 
and  Sportsman  was  in  attendance 
at  the  Vallejo  meeting,  and  while  en- 
gaged in  photographing  some  of  the 
horses  met  Prof.  Heald,  who  remarked 
that  he  had  a  gelding  there  that  was 
worth  photographing,  as  some  day  be 
would  be  racing  in  fast  time  Prof. 
Heald  did  not  have  the  horBe  regu- 
larly trained  until  he  sent  him  to  Wil- 
lard Zibbell  (the  unfortunate  young 
trainer  so  frightfully  injured  at  Fres- 
no last  week),  who  soon  saw  he  had  a 
prize  and  with  his  father  purchased 
the  gelding  from  Professor  Heald. 
Ab  the  horse  is  the  talk  of  the  tracks 
now,  and  is  considered  a  sure  2:10 
trotter,  the  prediction  made  by  his 
breeder  two  years  ago  when  this  picture  was  taken  is 
of  more  than  ordinary  interest  at  this  time.  Prof. 
Heald  informs  ub  that  he  owns  several  other  foals 
from  Adam  G.'s  dam,  Nona  Y.,  and  that  he  believeB 
each  and  every  one  of  them  will  take  a  standard  rec- 
ord, as  every  colt  she  has  ever  had  has  shown  speed 
aa  soon  as  it  is  put  to  work.  She  is  already  the  dam 
of  four  with  records  better  than  2:19.  Her  dam, 
Black  Flora  was  also  a  great  producer,  being  the  dam 
of  four  standard  trotters,  viz.:  Huntress  2:28,  Peri- 
helion 2:25,  Nona  Y.  2:25  and  Sister  2:19},  all  full 
brothers  and  sisters,  and  the  only  standard  trotters  to 
the  credit  of  Admiral.  Sister  was  campaigned  by  the 
late  John  Goldsmith  in  1886  and  1887  and  won  many 
races,  being  almost  Invincible.  Black  Flora  was  sired 
by  Black  Prince,  a  horse  bred  by  the  late  Gen.  John 
Bidwell  of  Chlco,  who  imported  his  sire  and  dam  from 
Kentucky,  but  who  did  not  keep  any  record  of  their 
breeding.  


A  three-year-old  that  gives  every  promise  of  being 
a  2:12  trotter  before  the  season  is  over  is  the  brown 
colt  Ambush  that  took  a  two-year-old  record  of  2:20 
last  season  and  reduced  this  to  2:17  at  the  Los  Angeles 
meeting  this  year  in  a  race  against  aged  horses. 
Ambush  is  a  son  of  Zolock  out  of  a  mare  by  Silknut 
son  of  Sllkwood  2:07.  He  started  three  times  last  year. 
His  first  start  was  at  San  Jose  in  the  two-year-old 
trotting  division  of  the  Breeders  Futurity.  There 
wer6  eight  starters  in  this  event,  and  Ambush  earned 
third  money,  being  2-5-5  in  the  final  summary.  Two 
weeks  later  he  started  in  a  purse  for  two-year-olds  at 
Santa  Rosa,  and  was  again  third,  Athasbam  being 
the  winner  in  straight  heats  in  2:20}  and  2:20.  At 
Sacramento  the  following  week  he  started  in  the  same 
field  and  after  winning  the  first  heat  in  2:20,  Bellemont 
beat  him  for  first  money  in  2:20}  and  2:25.  At  the  Los 
Angeles  meeting  be  was  started  on  Saturday  in  the 
2:20  class  trot,  against  such  horseB  as  Charlie  T., 
Pat  Rose  that  took  a  record  of  2:12}  the  first  day  of 
the  meetiDg,  and  several  other  aged  trotters.  Charlie 
T.  won  the  first  heat  in  2:14}  with  Ambush  close  to 
him,  and  captured  the  second  in  slower  time  as  the 
colt  made  a  break.  In  the  third  heat  Charlie  T. 
finished  in  front  on  a  break,  but  was  set  back  and  the 
heat  given  to  Ambush  whose  time  as  second  horse  was 
2:17.  The  race  was  then  postponed  until  the  next 
day,  when  Charlie  T.  won  with  the  mile  in  2:15  and 
Ambush  a  close  second  again.  It  was  a  great  race  for 
a  three-year-old  during  the  first  week  in  July,  and  the 
son  of  Zolock  is  looked  upon  to  get  a  very  low  record 
before  the  year  enda.

GREAT     RACING     AT     FRESNO. 


Breeders    Meeting    Opened     Wednesday     With 
Large  Attendance  and  Ideal  Weather. 

Instead  of  the  hot  wave  which  many  expected, 
there  was  ideal  weather  on  Wednesday  ot  this  week 
when  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders 
Association  opened  its  meeting  at  Fresno.  The  new 
palm  grandstand  seating  2000  people  was  comfortably 
filled  and  as  every  race  was  well  contested  the  crowd 
enjoyed  the  afternoon  to  the  utmost.  The  new  judges 
stand  which  is  undoubtedly  the  finest  and  best 
appointed  in  the  State  was  occupied  by  President  E. 
P.  Heald,  and  Directors  J  C.  Kirkpatrick  and  T.  J. 
Crowley  as  Judgee,  while  Ed  R.  Smith  of  Los  Angeles 
started  the  horses  and  got  them  off  in  good  shape. 

The  first  race  was  the  2:27  trot,  which  was  won  in 
straight  heats  by  John  Treadwell's  Zombro  gelding 
Charlie  T.  ably  driven  by  Al  McDonald.  While 
Charlie  T.  won  very  handily  there  was  a  contest  in 
each  mile,  Ray  Bennett's  bay  gelding  Oro  Belmont 
driving  him  out  in  the  first  and  third  heats  and  Lute 
Lindsay's  Oregon  horse  Sam  Bowers  making  a  hot 
race  with  him  through  the  stretch  in  the  second  heat. 
In  the  first  heat  Charlie  was  forced  to  lower  his  Los 
Angeles  record  of  2:14}  to  2:13J,  but  he  did  it  in  a 
manner  that  makes  him  look  like  a  2:10  horse  before 
the  season  is  ended.  There  was  a  horse  race  in  every 
heat  of  this  event. 

The  Raisin  City  Stake,  $1500  for  2:20  pacers,  had 
six  starters  and  was  won  by  Virginia,  the  Bob  Mason 
mare  owned  by  Ben  Davies  of  San  Bernardino. 
Virginia  reduced  her  Los  Angeles  record  half  a  sec- 
ond and  her  mark  is  now  2:09*.  Nellie  R.  took  the 
first  heat  in  2:11  and  was  second  in  the  next  two  heats, 
when  having  second  money  won  and  not  being  able  to 
beat  Virginia  she  finished  fourth.  In  the  last  heat 
John  R.  Conway  was  the  contending  horse  and  was 
only  beaten  a  short  head  in  2:10*.  This  was  a  great 
contest. 

The  road  race  for  pacers  driven  by  members  of  the 
Fresno  Driving  Club  was  one  of  the  best  races  of  the 
day,  and  went  to  the  Hanford  mare  Lady  R.  by  Col. 
K.  R.,  driven  by  Pat  Sweeney.  She  won  in  straight 
heats  in  2:16}  and  2:12J,  very  fast  time  for  a  road 
horse.    The  summaries:

lengths.  At  the  head  of  the  stretch  Zolock  was  first  in 
1:35  with  Edwin  S.  second  by  two  lengths.  Coming 
through  the  stretch  Edwin  S.  was  gaining  a  little  at 
every  stride  and  was  beaten  out  but  a  short  head  in 
the  greatest  finish  of  the  year  in  the  fast  time  of  2:05}. 
The  second  heat  was  won  by  Zolock  in  the  same 
time  2:05},  being  only  about  four  lengths  ahead  of  the 
other  three,  and  every  horse  in  the  race  paced  better 
than  2:07,  all  fighting  to  better  their  positions. 

In  the  three-year-old  race  that  grand  young  stallion 
Ambush  won  in  three  straight  heats  after  having  a 
horse  race  every  heat  with  Mr.  Warlow's  young  stal- 
lion Athasham,  who  was  the  contender  in  every  mile, 
forcing  Ambush  to  trot  the  first  heat  in  2:14},  the 
second  in  2:16*  and  the  third  in  2:19.  The  four  colts 
in  this  race  are  all  very  high  class  and  any  one  of 
them  will  beat  2:15  easily  at  the  meetings  later  on. 
The  attendance  was  great  and  much  larger  than  on 
the  first  day.  The  track  is  in  first  class  condition  and 
every  thing  is  moving  smoothly  and  great  things  are 
in  store  for  the  Light  Harness  Horse  Brigade  during 
the  rest  of  this  meeting  and  also  at  Santa  Rosa  and 
the  State  Fair.  The  summaries:

SECOND    DAY. 

Thursday  was  a  Zolock  day  at  the  Fresno  track, 
and  the  handsome  pacing  son  of  McKinney  covered 
himself  with  glory  as  a  race  horse  and  added  to  his 
youthful  but  brilliant  reputation  as  a  sire  of  early  and 
extreme  speed.  He  won  both  heats  of  the  free-for-all 
pace  In  2:05},  the  fastest  time  made  in  the  United 
States  this  year,  lowering  his  own  record  of  2:06  made 
at  Los  Angeles  a  few  days  ago,  and  lowering  the 
Fresno  track  record  nearly  two  seconds.  I  For  this  last 
performance  he  earned  for  his  driver  Henry  Delaney, 
a  950  bill  generously  offered  by  Mr.  Fulton  G.  Berry 
for  the  horse  that  would  break  the  track  record  of 
2:07.  After  Zolock  had  paced  the  first  heat  in  2:05} 
and  won  the  850,  Mr.  Berry  offered  another  bill  or  the 
same  value  is  the  2:05}  was  beaten,  by  any  horse  in  the 
race.  The  time  was  the  same.  Director  T.  J.  Crowley 
presented  the  $50  check  to  Mr.  Delaney  in  a  neat 
speech.  Starter  Ed  Smith  who  is  one  of  the  closest 
observers,  sends  us  the  following  account  of  Thurs- 
day's races: 

The  great  stallion  from  San  Bernardino— Zolock — 
won  the  free-for-all  pace  in  one  of  the  hottests  contests 
ever  witnessed  in  this  State.  The  first  heat  was  a 
horse  race  from  wire.  Tboy  were  off  on  the  third 
score  with  Zolock  on  the  pole,  Daedalion  second,  in 
which  positions  they  paced  to  the  half-mile  pole  in 
1:02,  both  lapped,  with  Edwin  S.  third  by   about  four

NOTES  OF  THE  MEETING. 

W.  G.  Durfee  worked  Petigru  a  half  over  the 
Fresno  track  last  Wednesday  in  1:03|  and  sent  him  to 
the  half  in  the  next  heat  in  1:02|  and  to  the  three- 
quarter  pole  in  1 :34  and  the  next  eighth  in  15}  seconds. 
This  is  better  than  a  2:06  gait.  He  looks  good  en  Dugh 
to  take  to  Memphis,  Durfee  has  been  saving  Belle- 
mont  for  the  three-year-old  trotting  division  at  the 
Breeders  $6000  Futurity  at  Santa  Rosa  and  the 
Occident  Stake  at  the  State  Fair.  She  worked  four 
heats  the  day  of  Petigru's  sensational  halves,  doing 
the  third  and  fourth  heatsin  2:18  and  2:17*  respectively, 
last  quarters  in  32  seconds — a  2:08  gait.  There  are  a 
lot  of  good  three-year-old  trotters  this  year  and  the 
big  coli  stakes  will  be  won  in  fast  time. 

The  temporary  grand  stand  erected  for  the  Breeders 
meeting  is  all  right.  It  is  not  particularly  ornate 
architecturally,  but  commodious,  cool  and  a  credit  to 
those  who  devised  and  built  it.  It  was  erected  in  less 
than  a  week  and  will  seat  2000  people.  Big  fan  palm 
leaves  were  used  largely  for  the  roof  and  back  afford- 
ing plenty  of  shade  and  a  chance  for  the  breeze. 

Fulton  G.  Berry  sails  the  "Nixie"  on  the  high  seas 
and  when  he  isn't  winning  races  on  the  briney  deep 
he  is  running  things  in  Fresno,  and  he  keeps  them 
going  with  free  sheet  and  all  sails  set.  It  was  his 
genius  that  invented  the  big  bell  made  of  electric 
lights  with  the  pleasing  legend,  "Welcome  Horse- 
men," that  illuminates  the  principal  corner  in  Fresno. 
It  is  about  20  feet  high,  14  feet  in  diameter,  of  most 
graceful  form  and  several  hundred  electic  lights  were 
used  in  its  construction.  In  bis  home  town  he  per- 
vades everything  and  is  is  largely  due  to  his  untiring 
effortsthat  the  Breeders  were  enabled  to  go  to  Fresno. 
A.  J.  Hudson  makes  less  fuss  than  Commodore  Berry 
but  he  "gets  there  just  the  same. "  He  knows  what 
is  wanted  and  goes  ahead  and  does  it.  He  is  an  en- 
thusiastic horseman  and  to  him  and  Geo.  L.  Warlow 
is  the  credit  due  that  the  track  and  buildings  were 
ready  in  time  for  the  meeting. 


and  25  cents  for  children  between  the  ages  of  12  and 
16  years  will  prevail  at  the  next  fair.  Season  tickets 
admitting  all  the  members  of  one  family  will  be  sold 
for  $5.  A  charge  of  $7  50  has  usually  been  made  for 
such  tickets. 

It  was  decided  that  the  stock  parade  should  be  held 
on  Wednesday,  and  the  premium  parade  on  the  fol- 
lowing day.  The  meeting  was  held  late  in  the  after- 
noon, an  adjournment  having  been  taken  at  1:30 
o,clock  out  of  respect  to  the  memory  of  the  late 
Charles  M.  Coglan. 

An  Opportunity  to  Get  a  Good  One. 

When  the  horseB  owned  by  the  late  J.  Malcolm 
Forbes  of  Boston  were  sold  in  New  York  in  1903, 
Robert  A.  Smith  purchased  a  colt  that  is  now  five, 
years  old  and  very  handsome,  that  is  about  as  well 
bred  as  any  horse  ever  brought  to  this  Coast.  He  is 
by  that  great  trotter,  Peter  the  Great  2:07}  (sire  of 
Sadie  Mac  (3)  2:11*,  etc.)  by  Pilot  Medium,  greatest 
son  of  Happy  Medium.  His  dam  is  the  producing 
mare  Juanita  2:29  (dam  of  Sinaloa  2:253)  by  Sultan, 
the  sire  of  Stamboul  2:07*;  his  grandamisthe  great 
mare  Beulah,  dam  of  six  in  the  list,  including  Beuzetta 
2:06|  and  Early  Bird  2:10,  and  his  great  grandam  is 
the  mare  Sally  B.  (dam  of  Maurine  2:13}  and  two  more 
in  the  list)  by  the  thoroughbred  horse  Lever,  a  Eon  of 
the  great  Lexington.  This  colt  is  fit  to  head  any 
stock  farm,  and  he  is  fast  at  either  gait.  He  was 
worked  a  few  weeks  as  a  three-year-old  and  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:21,  with  the  last  half  in  1:07.  He  was  then 
sold  and  brought  to  California.  This  year  Will  Dur- 
fee worked  him  at  the  pace  as  he  seemed  rather  in- 
clined to  that  gait,  and  after  a  very  little  training 
reeled  off  a  mile  in  2:11*,  with  the  last  quarter  in  30 
seconds.  A  mild  attack  of  distemper  threw  him  out 
of  training,  but  he  is  sound  and  all  right  now,  and  can 
show  an  intending  purchaser  a  mile  in  2:J2  or  very 
close  to  it.  His  owner,  Robert  A.  Smith  of  Los  An- 
geles, has  no  use  for  him  and  would  like  to  sell.  He 
will  consider  a  trade  for  a  first-class  trotter.  See  his 
advertisement  in  this  issue. 


State  Board  of  Agriculture. 

The  directors  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society,  at 
a  meeting  held  last  week  canvassed  the  entries  for  the 
harness  racing  part  of  the  program  for  the  State  Fair. 
The  report  of  the  Speed  Committee,  which  waB 
adopted  as  presented,  provided  sixteen  harness  races, 
and  recommended  the  cancellation  of  three  events 
wherein  the  required  number  of  entries  had  not  been 
received.  A  special  resolution  was  carried,  however, 
retaining  as  part  of  the  program  a  free-for-all  pace 
event  for  which  a  purse  of  $600  will  be  offered.  It  was 
decided  that  there  should  be  three  running  races  each 
day,  with  a  minimum  purse  of  $250,  this  bting  an  in- 
crease over  the  size  of  last  year's  purses. 

The  annual  election  of  officers  was  held.  Benjamin 
F.  Rush  of  Suisun  was  re-elected  president;  James 
Whitaker  of  Gait  received  the  vice-presidency: 
Thomas  Fox  was  selected  for  superintendent  of  the 
fairgrounds,  and  William  Land  as  superintendent  of 
the  new  pavilion.  The  new  committees  will  be  an. 
nounced  by  the  president  at  the  next  meeting,  to  be 
held  on  July  29th.

News  From  the  North. 

[Rural  Spirit, Portland] 

Altacora  2:13  pacing,  full  sister  to  Chehalis  2:04}, 
will  not  be  bred  this  year,  but  will  he  put  in  training 
as  soon  as  her  Joe  Patchen  filly  is  weaned ,  for  a  lower 
record  next  season. 

John  Sawyer  and  Doc  Ward  have  moved  their 
stables  of  harness  horses  to  the  state  fair  grounds 
from  Irvington  track,  to  make  room  for  the  bang-tails 
that  are  coming  over  from  Seattle. 

J.  N.  McKay,  of  Woodburn,  has  purchased  the 
German  Coach  stallion,  Pfiel,  formerly  owned  by 
Duncan  Scott,  of  Eugene.  Pfiel  has  won  prizes  at  the 
Oregon  state  fair  the  past  two  years  in  a  class  for 
German  Coach  stallions. 

T.  N.  Davidson,  Jr.,  of  Salem,  has  leased  the  Ha 
stallion  Hal  D.  from  Homer  Davenport  and  taken  him 
to  Salem  for  the  balance  of  the  season.  Hal  D.  is  one 
of  the  speediest  green  pacers  in  the  state,  and  most 
likely  he  will  be  trained  and  raced  during  his  stay  in 
Oregon. 

E,  B.  Tongue  has  brought  his  pacers,  Byron  Lace 
2:14}  and  Lord  Lovelace  home  from  California  snd 
placed  them  in  the  hand  of  J.  B.  Stetson  to  campaign. 
Mr.  Stetson  moved  to  the  state  fair  ground  track  this 
week  where  will  begin  getting  together  a  stable  for 
the  fall  meetings.  Byron  Lace  attracted  quite  a  lot  of 
attention  in  California  by  his  easy,  smooth  way  of 
going  and  he  is  looked  by  many  as  a  sure  two  ten-er. 

The  Albany  Driving  Club  presented  an  interesting 
and  successful  program  at  its  meeting,  July  7tb. 
Track  was  fast,  weather  ideal  and  about  a  thousand 
people  entered  the  gates  or  climbed  over  the  fences. 
It  is  to  be  noted  that  Albany  is  showing  an  increased 
interest  in  the  harness  horse,  and  several  campaigners, 
successful  in  their  day,  and  still  good  for  a  brush  or 
a  matinee,  have  been  added  to  the  list  of  Linn  county 
roadsters. 

The  races  were  called  promptly  at  two,  with  W. 
W.  Percival,  president  of  the  Independence  Driving 
Club,  Worth  Huston  and  G.  A.  Westgate  in  the 
judge's  stand.  Sheriff  White  was  a  most  satisfactory 
marshal  and  W.  H.  Sloan  of  Salem  with  A.  L. 
Munkers  regulated  the  cbroncmetei  s  and  harded  out 
the  official  time.  Purses  offered  amounted  to  a  few 
hundred  dollars. 

The  program   followed    the     advertised    order  as

The  Horse's  Pulse. 


The  veterinary  editor  of  the  London  Farm  and 
Sortie  gives  a  valuable  article  that  horsemen  and 
stockmen  should  know  about  the  pulsations  of  the 
horse,  which  is  here  reproduced : 

What  is  the  number  of  pulsations  of  the  horse? 
suggests  the  holding;  of  tbepopular  notion  that  accele- 
rat!on  is  taken  into  serious  consideration  when  the 
indications  of  the  pulse  are  considered  as  an  aid  to 
diagnosis  in  disease.  Tbe  knowledge  that  in  the  horsei 
or,  for  the  matter  of  that,  any  other  domesticated 
animal,  the  pulsations  in  health  average  so  many  per 
minute  is  not  likely  to  be  very  useful  to  the  farmer  or 
horse-owner — indeed  it  may  lead  the  amateur  veterin- 
ary surgeon  astray,  unless  at  the  same  time  he  appre- 
ciates the  importance  of  character  in  the  pulse.  He 
may  see  the  doctor  lightly  grasping  the  wrist  of  his 
patien'.  with  tbe  ringer  of  one  hand,  while  holding  his 
watch  in  his  other,  in  his  best  bedside  manner;  or  the 
veterinary  surgeon  standing  on  the  near  side  of  hie 
patient  with  his  left  hand  on  ihe  horse's  nose,  and 
pressing  the  sub-maxillary  artery  against  tbe  lower 
jawbone  with  the  Sogers  of  his  right — looking  very 
serious  and  very  wise — and  assume  that  they  are 
counting  all  the  time;  but  they  are  not.  Each  takes 
Borne  note  of  number,  but,  at  the  same  time,  the 
manner  in  which  the  blood  is  propelled  through  the 
artery  is  receiving  the  more  serious  consideration. 

There  are  several  things  that  influence  tbe  number 
of  pulsations,  even  in  the  healthy  animal,  including 
breed,  age,  pregnancy,  warmth,  plethora,  etc.,  and 
thus  there  is  a  good  deal  of  room  for  discrimination] 
even  if  there  were  anything  in  the  popular  notion 
that  acceleration  in  speed  is  inseparably  connected 
with  disease.  For  example,  if  we  take  two  horses, 
say  a  very  common-bred  carting  animal  and  a  well- 
bred  hunter,  it  will  be  found  that  so  far  as  the  number 
of  pulsations  per  minute  is  concerned,  there  may  be  a 
difference  of  eight  or  ten  beats.  At  the  same  time  the 
animal  with  the  faster  pulse  may  be  in  better  health 
than  the  other.  The  same  difference  is  to  be  observed 
in  bovines  as  regards  age,  and  between  an  early  cow 
and  a  yearling  heifer  there  may  be  a  difference  of 
ten  to  twenty  pulsations — in  fact,  tbe  pulse,  as  well  as 
the  respiration,  is  always  faster  in  all  young  animals, 
while  the  internal  temperature,  as  indicated  by  the 
clinical  thermometer,  is  always  higher.  Nervous 
animals  roughly  handled  show  increased  frequency, 
the  excitement  producing  such  an  impression  on  the 
nervous  system  as  to  cause  the  action  of  the  heart  to 
be  greatly  quickened.  The  number  of  pulsations  at 
any  poiot  of  an  artery  simply  represent  tbe  number 
of  contractions  of  the  left  ventricle  of  the  heart  in  a 
given  time,  and  if  mere  number  is  all  we  want  to  know 
we  need  not  trouble  about  taking  the  pulse  at  an 
artery  at  all.  If  the  ear,  or  even  the  palm  of  the 
hand  is  placed  against  the  chest  on  the  near  side,  the 
number  of  heart  beats  can  be  correctly  counted,  and 
it  will  tell  just  as  much  as  if  pulsations  are  counted  at 
a  distant  artery. 

It  is,  of  course,  desirable  to  know  that  the  pulse  of 
the  horse  is  normally  32  to  36,  or  34  to  40  in  well  bred 
animals,  that  in  the  ox  the  average  is  46,  tbat  it  is 
faster  during  rumination  (70  to  80)  and  faster  In  the 
young  animal  (55  to  65)  than  in  the  adult;  that  in  the 
sheep  it  is  from  60  to  90;  in  the  pig  55  to  75  and  in  the 
dog  70  to  90;  but  when  this  has  been  learned  we  are 
ODly  on  the  threshold  of  the  subject,  for  it  is  on 
character  that  reliance  has  to  be  placed  for  the  indica- 
tions of  disease.  The  different  kinds  of  pulsations,  or 
character  of  pulse,  have  received  different  names  to 
distinguish  them,  and  in  technical  pathological  de- 
scriptions we  meet  with  such  terms  aB  full,  small,  soft, 
hard,  oppressed,  unequal,  confused,  thready,  im- 
perceptible, intermittent,  diacrotonous,  cordy,  wiry 
and  several  others,  as  applied  to  the  state  of  the  pulse> 
It  is  hardly  to  he  expected  that  the  amateur  will  be 
able  to  understand  all  the  finer  distinctions,  but  an 
appreciation  of  at  least  the  more  important  of  the 
characteristics  is  not  difficult  to  acquire — indeed,  is 
absolutely  necessary  to  the  proper  understanding  of 
the  value  of  pulse  indications  in  their  relationship  to 
departures  from  health.  A  slow  pulse  is  wben  the 
number  of  beats  is  below  the  normal  per  minute,  and 
it  indicates  defective  nervous  energy,  such  as  would 
arise  in  certain  brain  troubles.  A  weak  pulse  denotes 
feeble  heart  action,  and  is  expressive  of  debility.  An 
irregular  or  intermittent  pulse  indicates  heart  disease, 
and  is  due  to  arrest  of  the  heart's  action  at  either 
regular  or  irregular  intervals.  A  hard  pulse  is  in- 
dicative of  inflammation  or  fever,  the  hard,  jerky 
pulse  of  inflammation  of  the  bowels  is  an  example.  It 
is  necessary  also  to  be  able  to  distinguish  between 
frequency  and  quickness,  Bince  they  are  not  by  any 
means  the  same  thing.  A  pulse  may  be  described, 
say,  as  frequent,  small  and  quick.  This  means  a 
frequent  beat  of  tbe  heart,  a  quick  contraction,  and 
a  small  quantity  of  blood  sent  out  at  each  beat.  When 
the  blood  vessels  are  much  distended   we  have  the 


oppressed  pulse,  in  which  the  heat  is  prolonged  and 
not  very  marked.  This  indicates  congestion,  say,  of 
the  lungs,  and,  owing  to  obstruction,  the  blood  is  with 
difficulty  forced  along. 

Where  to  take  the  pulse  is  another  common  ques- 
tion, and  one  on  which  "Northern"  requests  informa- 
tion. From  what  has  already  been  said,  it  will  be 
understood  that  for  indications  other  than  that  of 
number,  which  can  be  obtained  by  listening  to  the 
heart,  it  is  necessary  to  take  the  pulse  at  an  artery, 
the  size  and  degree  of  contraction  of  which  shows  the 
hardness,  softness,  fulness,  smalkess,  etc.  With 
every  beat  of  the  heart  the  blood  is  propelled  through 
tbe  vessels  called  arteries,  which  have  a  degree  of 
elasticity  that  enables  them  to  adapt  themselves  to 
the  volume  of  the  stream.  The  force  with  which  the 
blood  is  propelled  from  the  heart  diminishes  as  the 
distance  from  the  center  of  circulation  is  increased, 
but  is  palpable  to  the  remotest  extremity.  Owing  to 
this  diminution  of  the  force  it  is  desirable  to  select  a 
vessel  of  considerable  size,  and  as  near  to  the  heart  as 
possible.  It  must  be  superficial,  and  so  situated  that 
it  can  be  pressed  against  seme  hard  body,  such  as  a 
bone.  There  are  several  arteries  that  permit  of  this 
being  done,  and  different  vessels  are  utilized  for  tak- 
ing rhe  pulse  in  different  animals  by  different  prac- 
titioners. In  the  horse  the  sub  maxillary  artery  is  in- 
variably employed.  The  vessel  is  situated  at  the 
lower  jaw,  and  the  method  usually  adopted  is  to  take 
up  a  positir  n  quietly  on  the  near  side  of  the  animal, 
and  to  soothe  and  pat  it  to  allay  any  fear  or  excite- 
ment. Then  place  the  left  hand  lightly  on  the  nose, 
and  find  the  artery  with  the  fingers  of  the  right, 
pressing  the  vessel  gently  against  the  jaw  bone,  so  as 
to  ascertain  the  manner  in  which  the  blood  is  flowing 
through  it.  The  number  of  pulsations  per  minute  are 
counted  while  their  character  is  noted.  There  is  no 
point  at  which  the  equine  pulse  can  be  taken  so  con- 
veniently as  at  the  jaw,  although  there  are,  of  course, 
other  vessels  which  can  be  employed.  It  is  safest,  as 
well  as  most  convenient. 


The  Three-Quarter  Shoe  for  Interfering  Horses. 

It  matters  not  how  perfect  some  horses  may  be,  or 
how  well  they  are  shod,  the  very  best  of  tbem  will  be 
found  to  interfere,  writes  a  shoer  in  the  Horseshoer's 
Journal,  Of  the  causes  we  know  much  and  yet  when 
a  case  of  interfering  is  brought  to  us  we  often  become 
puzzled  as  to  what  the  cause  really  is.  Perhaps  it  is 
a  renewed  case,  one  that  the  same  man  has  shod 
before  many  times  an*!  has  effected  a  cure  of  the 
interfering,  and  going  about  the  job  full  of  confidence 
he  uses  the  same  shoe  and  dresses  the  foot  in  the  same 
manner  as  he  did  before  successfully,  and  yet  the  ani- 
mal may  return  worse  off  than  ever,  and  this  is  what 
sets  the  horseshoer  thinking. 

There  are  all  kinds  of  shoes  for  the  different  kinds 
of  interferers,  and  we  all  know  that  the  same  rule  can 
not  be  applied  in  any  two  cases,  so  we  must  revert  to 
some  particular  design  of  shoe,  and  some  particular 
method  of  preparing  the  foot  of  a  certain  horse  which 
is  suitable  to  his  particular  case.  It  does  not  pay  for 
a  man  in  business  to  advise  his  patron  to  dosomething 
which  will  give  him  no  return;  a  medical  doctor  or  a 
lawyer  are  paid  mostly  for  their  advice;  horseshoers 
should  also  be  allowed  something  for  theirs,  and  in- 
deed if  they  set  themselves  up  as  entitled  to  it  they 
would  receive  pay  for  the  advice  they  give,  because  it 
must  be  understood  that  our  patient,  tbe  horse,  is  out 
of  our  sight  the  better  portion  of  the  month  and  still 
we  are  held  more  or  less  responsible  for  his  well  being 
in  travel.  But,  as  I  was  going  to  say,  to  advise  the 
removal  of  the  hind  shoes  when  a  horse  is  found  in- 
terfering in  that  part  and  to  have  bim  driven  for  two 
or  three  days,  then  brought  back  and  shod  with  light 
shoes,  the  face  of  which  should  be  rounded  to  com- 
pare with  the  wear  of  the  hoof  while  the  feet  have 
been  stripped,  this  is  one  of  the  surest  and  best 
methods  to  effect  a  cure  of  interfering  that  is  possible 
to  find. 

I  before  said  that  it  would  not  pay  the  horseshoer  to 
recommend  this  to  the  horse  owner,  but  it  does  pay 
far  better  to  hold  the  patron's  confidence  than  to  dis- 
courage him  by  compelling  the  return  of  the  horse 
two  or  three  times  during  perhaps  one  week  and  still 
no  cure.  Now  this  method  of  producing  a  cure  can 
be  tried  in  a  case  of  any  horse  used  for  light  driving, 
especially  if  he  is  used  on  the  roads  or  where  the  pave- 
ments are  very  level,  or  on  the  dry  roads.  Next  to 
this  method  of  producing  a  quick  cure  I  want  to 
recommend  the  three-quarter  shoe;  the  three-quarter 
shoe  is  to  be  commended  for  more  than  one  reason, 
but  it  cannot,  unfortunately,  be  used  on  all  cases  for 
the  reason  that  tbe  leg  structures  are  different  and 
therefore  it  cannot  be  used  in  all  cases.  Take  for, 
instance,  the  foot  which  sets  on  a  leg  so  as  to  bring  its 
center  far  to  the  outside  of  the  bones  above;  a  three- 
quarter  shoe  on  this  kind  of  case  would  likely  do 
more  harm  than  good,  but  when  the  foot  and  leg  are 


on  a  true  line  one  with  the  other  then  the  three- 
quarter  shoe  should  be  applied  whenever  possible 
because  it  possesses  more  real  virlueif  rightly  ad  justed 
than  any  interfering  shoe  ever  designed. 

In  preparing  the  foot  for  the  three-quarter  shoe, 
care  should  betaken  to  reduce  all  of  that  portion  of 
the  wall  on  which  the  shoe  sets;  the  inside  web  of 
shoe  should  at  its  extreme  end  set  into  the  hoof  about 
half  the  thickness  of  the  shoe  and  thus  we  get  almost 
a  perfectly  level  foot.  The  frog  has  its  full  play  on 
the  ground  and  the  foot  is  brought  as  near  to  naturo 
as  any  horseshoe  can  provide.  There  Is  a  combination 
of  virtues  in  the  three-quarter  shoe  not  the  least  of 
which  is  tbe  additional  weight  given  to  the  outside 
quarter,  which  assists  in  carrying  the  foot  on  a  more 
straightlinewith  the  body  and  away  from  the  opposite 
ankle.  Again,  in  picking  the  foot  up  there  is  no  metal 
to  cut  or  bruise  the  opposite  ankle  as  in  the  case  of 
the  full  snoe.  The  three-quarter  shoe  allows  more 
complete  play  on  the  inside  quarter  of  hoof,  and  here 
again  we  have  an  advantage  because  the  expanding 
process  is  sonsequently  going  on  all  to  the  relief  of 
the  foot.  The  animal  that  is  built  with  feet  pointing 
from  his  hips  to  the  center  of  the  body  as  they  rest  on 
the  ground  is  most  generally  to  be  found  interfering 
at  some  time  in  his  life  and  on  such  a  case  the  three- 
quarter  shoe  can  be  used  with  almost  certain   success. 

Improvements  at  Lexington. 

Box  seats  will  be  built  in  the  grandstand  at  the 
Kentucky  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  this 
summc.  There  will  be  about  two  hundred  of  them— 
one  hundred  seats  in  the  grandstand  proper  and  one 
hundred  in  the  balcony.  They  will  be  completed 
before  the  great  fall  trots  begin. 

The  trots  have  become  one  of  the  great  social  func- 
tions of  the  fall  season,  Lovers  of  the  light  harness 
horses  come  here  from  the  evergreen  shores  of  the 
Pacific,  the  busy  cities  of  the  Atlantic  coast,  the 
hustling  towns  of  the  North,  and  the  sunny  South. 
They  meet  here  in  the  fall  and  attend  the  greatest 
meeting  for  harness  horses  given  in  the  world. 

It  has  been  the  object  of  the  Kentucky  Trotting 
Breeders'  Association  since  the  Bport  became  popular 
here  to  give  the  visitors  and  the  home  people  the 
best  accommodations  that  money  could  supply.  The 
directors  of  the  association  have  personally  investi- 
gated the  conditions  of  the  hotels,  and  urged  the 
proprietors  to  make  the  rooms  and  quarters  com- 
fortable for  the  guests  of  the  city  at  that  time.  Last 
year  the  management  of  the  Phoenix  Hotel  added  an 
an  extra  story  to  the  building  in  order  to  give  the 
guests  better  accommodations. 

There  was  but  one  thing  left  to  be  done,  and  that 
was  to  give  the  guests  more  privacy  after  the  grounds 
had  been  reached.  The  only  solution  to  this  problem 
was  tbe  construction  of  box  seats,  and  the  Board  of 
Directors  decided  to  have  them  put  in. 

Secretary  Horace  Wilson  has  been  receiving  bids 
for  the  work  for  a  week,  and  the  contract  will  be 
closed  In  a  short  time.  The  seats  will  be  sold  to  the 
highest  bidders,  and  any  person  allowed  in  the  grounds 
will  be  permitted  to  use  them  if  the  price  is  paid. 

A  new  fence  is  replacing  the  old  one  around  the 
track.  Other  improvements  are  contemplated,  so 
that  by  the  time  of  the  fall  trots  the  grounds  and 
buildings  will  be  in  excellent  condition. — Kentucky

What  J.  Crouch  &  Son  Say. 

Messrs.  J.  Crouch  &  Son  of  the  Lafayette  Stock  Farm,  the 
largest  importers  of  German  Coach,  Belgian  and  Percheron  stal- 
lions io  the  world,  have  lhl3tosay:  "We  have  used  your  Craft's 
Distemper  &  Cough  Cure  almost  continuously  for  the  past  twelve 
years,  and  consider  it  Indispensable  In  the  treatment  of  the  vari- 
ous forms  of  distemper,  coughs,  colds,  catarrhal  aDd  shipping 
fevers  It  is  tbe  only  remedy  that  can  be  relied  upon  at  all  times 
and  under  all  circumstances.  No  horseman  should  ever  be  with- 
out the  protection  afforded  by  this  great  remedy.  When  shipping 
horses  we  invariably  use  Craft's  as  a  preventive  against  shipping 
fever  and  other  Infectious  diseases  to  which  our  horses  are  more 
or  less  exposed.  We  reco  mend  it  to  all  owners  or  handlers  of 
horses."

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

FIELD     1)1  Mi  N     NOW    IN    DEMAND 

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

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 

SANTA  CRUZ  KENNEL  CLUB. 

A  practical  outcome  of  the  recent  show  at  Santa  Cruz 
has  resulted  in  the  organization  of  an  enthusiastic 
kennel  club.  The  new  club  starts  off  with  a  splendid 
list  of  membership,  including  some  of  the  moBt  promi- 
nent citizens  of  the  county.  It  is  proposed  to  hold  a 
bench  show  in  the  Casino  some  time  in  September.

A    SEATTLE    DOG    POISONING    CASE 

The  prosecution,  that  it  is  claimed  would  have  re- 
sulted in  a  conviction,  of  a  dog  poisoner  one  Adam 
Hoenioke,  was  dropped  by  the  Seattle  Kennel  Club 
for  the  reason  that  the  defendant,  a  well  to  do  farmer, 
was  found  dead  in  a  field  the  night  previous  to  his 
preliminary  hearing  on  a  charge  of  maliciously  poison- 
ing dogs  with  strychnine. 

Hoenickehad  been  dead  apparently  a  week  or  more 
when  the  body  was  discovered.  He  had  not  been  seen 
since  June  23d,  and  it  was  evident  to  callers,  from  ap- 
pearances about  his  place,  that  he  had  been  absent, 
a  search  or  several  days  resulted  in  finding  the  re- 
mains. He  was  73  years  old,  his  death  is  supposed  to 
have  been  due  to  heart  ailments. 

The  crime  for  which  the  aged  farmer  was  arrested 
by  Humane  Officer  Clark,  of  Seattle,  at  the  request  of 
the  Seattle  Kennel  Club,  was  the  death  by  poisoning 
of  three  valuable  dogs.  J.  W.  Riplinger's  English 
Setter  Bracken  O'Leck  bad  a  close  call  also.    Capt. 

E.  A.  Swift's  Pointer  bitch,  Kitsap  Juno,  winner  at 
the  recent  Seattle  show,  and  ar  English  Setter  owned 
by  John  W.  Considine  were  two  of  the  victims. 
Autopsies  showed  strychnine  to  have  been  the  cause 
of  death. 

A  number  of  witnesses  were  ready  to  prove  that 
Hoenicke  had  openly  expressed  threats  to  kill  all  of 
the  dogs  in  the  kennels  of  S.  Hanson  at  South  Park, 
about  five  miles  from  Seattle.  Hanson  is  a  well  known 
and  popular  trainer  and  had  in  oharge  a  number  of 
dogs  for  the  coming  Northwest  field  trials. 

Dogs  in  Washington  State  are  personal  property 
and  owners  are  protected  by  statute.  Charles  L. 
Lundy,  a  Seattle  fancier,  had  been  retained  for  the 
prosecution  and  would  have,  subsequent  to  the  crimi- 
nal trial,  brought  civil  action  for  damages. 

WORKING    COLLIES. 

Glen  Tana  Collie  Kennels  make  a  specialty  of  breed- 
ing the  best  working  strains  of  Collies  for  sheepmen 
and  sell  tbem  at  reasonable  prices.  The  G.  T.  Collies 
have  made  a  clean  sweep  of  the  Paclfie  Coast  shows, 
winning  168  first  prizes,  18  seconds,  3  thirds  and 
special  cups  for  best  Collie  bitch  and  best  Collie  dog 
in  7  shows.  The  Spokane  kennels  also  have  the 
largest  and  best  kennel  of  stud  dogs  on  the  Coast.  A 
select  lot  of  puppies  are  offered  fanciers  who  are 
desirous  of  getting  good  stock.  Orders  for  young  or 
old  dogsean  be  filled  and  purchasers  can  rely  on  the 
integrity  of  the  kennel  management. 

It  behooves  the  fancy  to  send  for  the  recently  issued 
circular  listing  a  number  of  desirable  degs  that  are 
for  sale.  A  request  mailed  to  Thos.  S.  Griffith,  P.  O. 
Box  No.  1907,  Spokane,  Wash.,  will  receive  prompt 
attention.  In  the  list  of  dogs  and  bitches  offered  at 
stud  and  for  sale  will  be  found  much  information  of 
value  to  Collie  breeders. 


We  note  in  the  classified  "ads"  on  page  15,  that  Mr. 
D.  E.  Martin  of  Livermore  has  some  desirable  young 
Pointers  for  sale.

POPPIES    WITH    OSTRICH    APPETITES. 

Joseph  Graham,  the  well  kDown  authority  on  ken- 
nel matters,  was  recently  asked  for  advice  as  to  treat- 
ing a  young  dog  which  has  a  habit  of  eating  hard  and 
indigestible  substances.  In  reply  he  said:  "The  best 
advice  is — get  another  dog.  Ouce  I  thought  thi9  habit 
came  from  lack  of  bones  or  bone  material  in  the  food. 
My  present  notion  is  that  it  is  a  symptom  of  serious 
nervous  disorder,  and  has  no  relation  to  the  elements 
of  food.  Every  young  dog  that  has  manifested  this 
craving  under  my  observation  has  had  a  derangement 
of  the  nervous  system.  One  beautiful  son  of  Cincin- 
natus'  Pride  in  my  kennel  would  make  a  meal  on  soft 
coal.  He  would  chew  bits  of  brick,  pieces  of  wood — 
almost  anything  hard  that  was  chewable  at  all  I  put 
bone  dust  in  his  food  and  broke  up  soup  bones.  But 
it  was  soon  apparent  that  he  was  suffering  from  a 
deep-seated  nervous  derangement.  Any  excitement 
or  rapid  exercise,  after  he  was  a  year  old,  produced  a 
convulsiOD.  He  died  in  a  fit.  What  sort  of  nervous 
disorder  is  the  cause  of  this  particular  habit  I  cannot 
eay.  Nerve  symptom  s  are  queer  things,  even  for  the 
specialists.  A  man  may  have  terrific  pains  in  his  arm 
when  the  trouble  lies  somewhere  in  the  base  of  his 
brain.  He  may  have  an  irritable  stomach  from  fatigue 
of  the  eyes.  A  horse  may  take  to  cribbing,  because 
there  is  an  itch  in  a  nerve  centre  or  an  instinct  arti- 
ficially repressed.  In  a  human  being  we  try  patiently 
to  cure  these  nerve  troubles. " 

With  a  dog,  the  case  is  just  so  much  more  baffling, 
we  believe  Mr.  Graham  gives  the  proper  diagnosis  and 
remedy.  

AMERICAN     FIELD     FCTOKITY. 

The  Coast  is  represented  in  the  first  American  Field 
Futurity  by  three  entries. 

J.  W.  Flynn  (San  Francisco)  nominates  Senator  and 
Senator's  Don,  two  lemon  and  white  Pointer  dogs  by 
Ch.  Senator  P.  out  of  Flynn's  Dolly  Jingo,  whelped

The  entries  in  the  American  Field  Futurity  number 
fifty-eight. 

ISLAND    BENCH    SHOW. 

There  is  strong  probability  of  a  bench  show  coming 
off  at  Honolulu  in  the  near  future.  The  proposed 
show  will  be  held  in  conjunction  with  the  annual 
poultry  show.  If  the  affair  can  be  arranged,  we  are 
informed  a  large  string  of  dogs  will  be  sent  there 
from  this  city  and  other  r?oints. 

Among  the  recent  happenings  in  local  Collie  circles 
we  are  informed  of  a  whelping  of  13  puppies  (8  dogs) 
by  J.  Martin'B  Ormskirk  Duchess  to  Presidio  Con- 
queror on  July  18th. 

Presidio  Lassie,  a  bitch  owned  by  Hugh  McCracken 
was  served  July  17th  by  Dr.  W.  P.  Burnham's  Bran- 
dane  Wishaw  Squire. 

R.  C.  Hartman's  Ellwyn  Gay  was  served  by  More- 
ton  Eclipse  on  the  16th  inst. 


The  judges  announced  for  the  Independent  Field 
Trials  Club  trials  are:  J.  A.  Graham,  St.  LouiB;  Dr. 
M.  F.  Rogers,  New  Albany,  Miss.,  and  Marsh  Byers, 
Grand  Rapids. 

AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Following  the  Interstate  shoot — the  Pacific  Coast 
Handicap  at  Ingleside  in  September — it  is  planned  by 
Medford,  Or.,  sportsmen  to  give  a  big  tournament 
with  from  $500  to  $1000  in  added  money,  enough  at  all 
events  to  induce  a  large  attendance  of  shooters  from 
all  over  the  Coast  and  Northwest,  including  a  majority 
of  the  Eastern  cracks  who  will  be  here  in  September. 


Although  rather  late  in  the  day,  we  publish  the 
following  list  of  averages  shot  at  the  recent  North- 
west Tournament  (June  22-3-4)  and  sent  us  by  a 
Northern  correspondent.  It  is  record  matter  and 
many  of  our  trap  shooting  readers  will  no  doubt 
avail  themselves  of  this  opportunity  to  place  the 
data  of  the  21st  annual  Sportsmen's  Association  tour- 
nament in  their  scrapbooks. 

Average  events  counted  up  580  targets — All  of  these 
races  were  unknown  angles  save — Multnomah  medal, 
known  angles,  reversed  pull,  25  targets;  Brownlee 
trophy,  unknown  angles,  reversed  pull,  25  targets, 
both  barrels;  Walla  Walla  Brownlee  medal,  20  tar- 
gets, expert  rules,  indicator  pull,  known  angles,  four 
unknown  and  one  known  trap,  one  man  up;  Globe 
trophy,  50  targets,  10  known  traps,  unknown  angles — 
10  known  traps,  unknown  angles,  reversed  pull,  use  of 
both  barrels — 10  known  traps,  known  angles — 10 
known  traps,  known  angles,  reversed  pull — 5  pairs,  one 
man  up;  Individual  Championship,  25  targets,  known 
craps,  known  angles 

W.  F.  Sheard,  of  Tacoma,  was  high  average  with 
90  6%,  A.  J.  Webb,  of  San  Francisco,  was  a  close 
second  with  89.8%,  only  .8  behind  the  winner,  a  very 
close  margin.  Tbe  following  is  the  further  list  of

A  blue  rock  club  was  recently  organized  at  Gardnep- 
ville,  Nov. 


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

The  Union  Gun  Club  monthly  shoot  on  the  16th 
inst.  was  well  attended  for  a  July  shoot  and  good 
scores  were  the  average.  "Slade"  being  one  of  the

23  and  20  targets  from  the  16  yard  peg,  W.  A.  Robert- 
son 21,  B.  Baird  17  and  Ed  Schultz  23. 

The  unusual  number  of  ties  shot  off  is  an  indication

July  Tribulation. 

I  jes'  set  here  a-dreamin— 

A-dreamin'  every  day, 
Uv  the  sunshine  that's  a-gleamin' 

On  the  rivers  far  away. 
An'  I  kinder  (all  10  wishin' 

I  wnz  wher'  the  waters  swish, 
Fer  if  ihe  Lord  made  fishin' 

Why  a  felleroughter  fish. 
If  I'm  standin'  or  a-hikin' 

'Bout  the  dusty,  rusty  town, 
I  alius  feel  t*e  trout  a-strikin' 

I  kin  see  the  spoon  spin  roun' 
An'  the  sunshine  seem's  a-tanglin', 

Uv  the  shadders  cool  and  sweet 
An'  the  mornin'  glories  are  a-daoglin' 

Wher'  the  willers  an'  alders  meet. 
So  I  kick  and  git  a-wishin' 

I  wuz  wher'  the  waters  swish, 
Fer  if  the  Lord  made  fishin'— 

Why  a  feller  oughter  fish. 


11.IK1SVII.LE     CAMP     STEW. 

At  the  recent  annual  camp  stew  of  the  Grass  Valley 
Sportsmen's  Club  about  250  congenial  spirits  were 
present  and  drank:,  ate,  made  merry  and  had  a  jolly 
time  all  day  such  as  only  can  be  enjoyed  at  this 
time-honored  and  wholesouled  yearly  gathering  of 
sportsmen. 

With  the  faint  streaks  of  morning  showing  in  the 
eastern  sky  the  faithful  ones  crawled  out,  started  the 
fires  and  began  preparations  for  breakfast.  There 
was  little  time  to  wait.  From  Nevada  City,  Grass 
Valley,  Auburn,  Colfax,  Spenceville,  Smartsville  arid 
other  places  rigs  began  to  arrive  bearing  hungry 
mortals  whose  appetites  had  been  sharpened  by  the 
long  ride  in  the  crisp  morniag  air.  Then  the  cooks 
did  a  business  which  would  shame  any  quick  order 
house  in  the  country.  T.  W.  B.  Golding,  W.  H. 
Smith  and  Elmer  Roberts  presided  over  the  region  of 
steaks  and  chops,  bacon  and  liver  and  glorious  rich, 
aromatic  coffee  that  would  have  made  any  housewife 
jealous.  Henry  Campbell  prepared  the  salad.  Then 
with  milk,  bread  and  butter,  the  meal  was  complete. 
And  eat!  Every  new  arrival  seemed  hungrier  tban 
the  one  before.  All  were  apparently  hollow  clear  to 
their  feet.  It  was  a  genuine  pleasure  to  watch  them 
devour  the  rich,  juicy  steaks  and  stow  away  vast 
quantities  of  other  things.  Joke  and  hearty  laughter 
rang  around  the  long  tables,  making  the  most  con- 
firmed dyspeptic  forget  his  infirmity  and  do  justice 
to  a  meal  under  the  pines  which  would  have  astonished 
a  section  hand.  Until  10  o'clock  breakfast  was  served 
and  the  waiters  were  kept  on  the  jump   to  the  finish. 

Up  to  noon  the  hunters  came  in  from  afield,  but  all 
had  tbe  same  hard  luck  story — no  doves.  This  had 
been  expected,  however,  and  ample  provision  made  to 
eubstltutechickens.  Instead  of  1200  doves,  the  num- 
ber brought  in  a  year  ago,  100  would  cover  the  bag. 
Ward  Mitchell  bagged  twenty  two,  tbe  record  of  the 
day.  The  Marysville  contingent  brought  two  dozen 
tame  ducks,  and  others  provided  rabbits  and  other 
game. 

Then  the  arrangements  began  for  tbe  great  and 
only  stew.  Captain  George  R.  Tuttle,  Gennett  Opie, 
William  Provla,  W.  J.  Grenfell,  J.  C.  Conaway,  A.  P. 
Brady,  J.  C.  Tyrrell,  James  Lucas  and  others  peeled 
spuds,  while  Dr.  Grown,  Wm  Connors,  A.  J.  Brock - 
Ingtun,  Con  Sullivan,  John  Hammill,  Leo  Garthe, 
Superintendent  of  Sohools  O'Neill  and  Henry  Posner 
removed  the  feathers  from  defunct  birds.  The  clean- 
ing department  was  conduoted  by  Elmer  Roberts  and 
Ed.  Paynter. 


Maurice  O'Connell,  that  king  of  camp  stew  chefs, 
took  charge  of  the  big  affair,  as  in  years  past,  and 
with  James  Phillips  and  the  rest  of  bis  able  assistants, 
soon  had  the  kettles  bubbling  forth  savory  odors 
which  told  appetizingly  of  the  feast  to  come. 

During  the  preparatory  stew  period  the  time  was 
spent  in  whole-souled  fun.  All  dignity  was  cast  aside 
and  like  big  boys  the  men,  young  and  old,  many  staid 
men  of  affairs,  the  big  gathering  laughed,  frolicked, 
sang  and  made  merry.  Running,  jumping  and  other 
sports,  followed  by  songs,  addresses  and  stories, 
whiled  waiting  appetitesinto  patience  and  good  humor. 
A  quartette  composed  of  Messrs.  James  and  Archie 
Crase,  Harry  Morgan  and  Louis  Hooper,  rendered 
numerous  selections.  Tbe  young  men  have  rare  good 
voices  and  sang  with  great  feeling  old  war  songs,  negro 
melodies  and  popular  pieces. 

If  any  set  of  men  know  how  to  have  a  good  time, 
and  at  the  same  time  induce  everybody  else  to  do  the 
same,  the  Marysville  visitors  are  that  set.  They  came 
to  the  picnic  in  a  carry -all  and  several  carriages,  with 
a  choice  stock  of  liquid  refreshments,  and  kept  open 
house  all  day. 

The  club,  at  its  stand,  dispensed  cold  refreshments 
from  morn  till  night  with  lavish  band,  free  to  all.  A 
competent  force  of  "mahogany  artists"  ladled  out  the 
wet  goods. 

At  4  o'clock  the  summons  to  the  feast  met  with 
immediate  response,  and  in  a  few  minutes  tbe  three 
long  tables  were  surrounded  by  as  hungry  a  lot  of 
mortals  as  had  helped  to  demolish  breakfast.  O'Con- 
nell had  the  stew  done  to  the  second.  Plenty  of  liquids 
and  other  good  things  accompanied  the  steaming, 
savory  mess,  adding  zest  to  the  feast. 

Hon.  J.  R.  Ty  well  presided  as  toastmaster  with  his 
usual  genialty  and  graceful  tact.  Among  the  speak- 
ers who  added  their  quota  to  the  good  things  of  the 
day  were  Superior  Judge  Nilon,  who  responded  in  a 
numerous  and  apt  style  to  the  toast  "A  True  Sports- 
man." Dr.  Taggart  of  Stockton  related  in  a  happy 
vein  his  "First  Impression  of  a  Camp  Stew."  Dr. 
Julian  Dobbins  rendered  vocal  selections,  pleasing  as 
ever.  "Jack"  Collins  of  Marysville  said  a  few  words 
about  "The  Tule  Hunting  Club."  District  Attorney 
Jones'  theme  was  the  "Vacant  Chair,"  Uncle  George 
Bromley  was  prssent  and  his  remarks  were  listened  to 
with  rapt  attention.  Hon.  J.  V.  Snyder  responded  to 
the  toast,  "Our  Sister  City,  Nevada.  " 

In  the  many  years'  history  of  the  club  never  has  it 
given  its  friends  a  more  delightful  day  in  the  woods, 
nor  one  which  will  be  recalled  years  hence  with  more 
pleasure.  And  yet  to  many  a  tinge  of  sadness  crept 
into  the  day,  as  absent  faces  were  pictured  in  mem- 
ory— faces  of  men  whose  presence  in  past  years  has 
done  much  to  enliven  the  day.  Death  has  summoned 
genial  "Tom"  Sherwood  and  others,  who,  year  after 
year  attended  with  religious  punctuality.  H.  T. 
Payne  could  not  be  present,  nor  could  CaptaiD  J.  K. 
Orr  and  Dr.  Crawford  of  Berkeley,  each  of  whom 
sent  regrets. 

A    CAMP    GRILL    THAT     COCKS. 

A  handy,  convenient  and  properly  working  camp 
cook  stove  or  cooking  apparatus  of  any  kind  has  been 
an  object  of  long  and  presisteot  search  by  sportsmen 
and  campers  out  for  many  a  day.  Many  contraptions 
have  been  put  on  the  market,  most  of  them  are  cast 
aside  with  disgust  after  a  short  period  of  unsatis- 
factory usage. 

The  best  thing  in  this  line  we  have  seen  yet  is  a 
grill,  designed  somewhat  after  the  U.  S.  Army 
company  cooking  stove  or  grill  A  strong  oblong 
iron  frame  is  arranged  for  two-thirds  of  its  length 
with  transverse  iron  rods,  the  other  third  is  crossed 
with  heavy  short  iron  slats,  bent  in  the  middle,  trans- 
versely, at  almost  a  right  angle.  Pour  flat  iron  up- 
rights are  made  to  hold  the  grill  over  the  coals. 

The  whole  apparatus  is  simple,  handy  and  easy 
to  pack.  The  arrangement  of  the  cross  rods  and  slats 
is  such  that  one  can  do  any  kind  of  broiling,  toasting, 
baking,  cooking  or  stewing  with  a  number  of  utensils 
all  on  at  the  same  time  and  with  less  bother  and  better 
than  any  other  contrivance  offered  for  outdoor  cook- 
ing. The  range  was  designed  by  Mr.  ubss.  Rollo 
Peters,  it  is  patented,  and  can  be  Been  or  bought  at 
the  store  of  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.,  53S  Market

PETERS'     POINTS 

The  good  work  being  done  with  Peters'  factory 
loaded  shells  goes  on  without  interruption.  At  the 
Grand  American  Handicap,  June  27  to  30,  there  was 
much  comment  upon  the  very  handsome  appearance 
of  these  goods,  and  their  perfect  shooting" qualities. 
They  were  used  by  fully  25%  of  the  contestants,  and 
in  some  of  the  matches  by  an  even  greater  proportion. 
Many  excellent  and  even  phenomenal  scores  were 
made  with  them.  The  Consolation  Handicap,  one  of 
the  big  events  of  the  tournament,  was  won  by  Mr 
James  T.  Atkinson,  of  New  Castle,  Pa  ,  with  Peters' 
Ideal  shells.  He  stood  at  the  18-yard  line,  and  broke 
99  out  of  100.  One  other  contestant  tied  with  Mr. 
Atkinson,  but  in  the  shoot-off,  the  latter  won  18  to  17. 
In  this  match  two  scores  of  98,  five  of  97,  four  of  96, 
and  twenty-seven  other  scores  of  over  90%  were  made 
with  these  goods. 

In  the  Preliminary  Handicap,  Mr.  Wm.  Veach,  of 
Falls  City,  Neb.,  scored  97  out  of  100  from  tbe  18  yard 
mark.  On  the  first  day  of  the  tournament  Mr.  L.  H. 
Reid  finished  with  99  out  of  100;  and  Mr  Lutber 
Wade  had  a  run  of  113  straight  to  his  credit.  On 
practice  day,  June  26,  Mr.  Frank  See  tied  for  high 
average,  99  out  of  100.  All  these  gentlemen  used 
Peters'  regular  factory  loads.  These  and  other 
equally  notable  performances  at  tbe  famous  Grand 
American  Handicap  ahowed  that  Peters' shells  may 
be  relied  upon  for  perfect  results,  no  matter  how  im- 
portant the  issue  at  stake. 

At  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,  June  20  and  21,  Mr.  Neaf 
Apgar  won  high  average,  breaking  380  out  of  400.  At 
the  Rohrers  Island  shoot,  Dayton,  Ohio,  June  13,  Mr. 
R.  S.  Rhoads  was  high  gun  w'ith  187  out  of  200.  At 
St.  Paris,  Ohio,  a  few  days  later  he  won  high  average 
for  both  days,  scoring  332  out  of  350.  At  Converse, 
Ind  ,  June  22  and  23,  high  average  first  day  was  won 
by  Mr.  Austin  Flynn,  and  on  the  second  day  by  Dr. 
M.  Wilson,  both  using  Peters  shells. 


GRAND    AMERICAN    HANDICAP. 

The  sixth  Grand  American  Handicap  at  inanimate 
targets,  held  at  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  from  June  27th  to 
30th,  inclusive,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Indianapolis 
Gun  Club,  was  indeed  the  largest  and  most  successful 
meet  of  its  kind  ever  held  in  America.  Of  tbe  many 
successful  ones  who  carried  away  honors  we  should 
mention  R  R.  Barber,  of  Paullina,  Iowa,  and  W.  R. 
Crosby,  who  won  amateur  and  professional  averages 
respectively.  Mr  R.  R.  Barber,  an  amateur  from 
Paullina,  Iowa,  won  the  big  event  at  Indianapolis 
from  a  field  of  335  of  the  best  shots  in  America  with  a 
score  of  99  out  of  100,  and  the  preliminary  with  a  6Core 
of  98  out  of  100.  In  the  Consolation  Handicap  he 
scored  97  out  of  100,  and  he  also  made  a  run  of  157 
straight.  Mr.  Barber's  scores  99,  98  and  97  establish 
a  new  world's  record  for  the  three  event6.  This  new 
Togo  of  the  shooting  world;  W.  R.  Crosby,  who  won 
the  first  professional  average  with  a  score  of  298  out 
of  300;  Fred  Gilbert,  who  won  second  professional 
average  with  a  score  of  295  out  of  300,  and  the  winner 
of  the  high  amateur  average,  all  shot  Winchester 
"Leader"  shells,  the  reliable,  tbe  uniform,  the  win- 
ning kind— the  only  kind  to  shoot.  Billy  Crosby  has 
held  the  world 's  long  run  record  of  345  straight  since 
March  31,  1901,  and  now  makes  another  world's  rec- 
cord  of  419  straight,  with  Winchester  "Leader" 
shells.  

REMINGTON     AUTOMATIC     SHOTGUN. 

Announcement  is  made  that  the  Remington  Im- 
proved Automatic  will  be  ready  for  the  trade  on  or 
about  August  15th.  The  new  model  of  the  gun  de- 
signed by  John  M.  Browning  has  a  number  of  im- 
provements that  will  be  acceptable  to  sportsmen. 
The  take  down  action  has  been  strengthened  and 
simplified,  the  stock  is  improved  in  shape  and  made 
of  an  extra  good  selection  of  walnut.  The  breech  is 
locked  mw  with  a  double  bolt.  The  fore-end  screw 
is  reinforced  with  a  double  collar  and  tbe  head  of  the 
magazine  cylinder  has  now  a  strong,  square  screw 
thus  improving  these  particular  parts  of  the  maga- 
zine and  spring  mechanism  to  the  desired  extent  of 
durability  and  perfect  action.  A  noticeable  change  is 
the  admirable  balance  of  the  new  model  which  is  de- 
signed to  shoot  six  shots  and  is  made  in  7  grades 
ranging  in  price  from  $30  to  $150,  in  12-gauge  only, 
28  inches  regular  length  of  barrels.  The  higher 
grades  are  handsomely  engraved,  with  plain  or  grip 
checkered  stocks  of  the  best  walnuts  procurable,  and 
in  every  respect  i9  a  shotgun  that  will  be  a  favorite 
with  sportsmen. 

Mr.  Browning  is  the  owner  of  the  first  gun  turned 
out  by  the  Remington  works,  President  M.  Hartly  has 
gun  No.  2  and  Mr.  E.  E  Drake  is  the  possessor  of  No  3. 

GOOD  SHOOTING  IN  OREGON. 

Selby  Factory  Loaded  Shells  are  familiar  to  and 
used  by  the  majority  of  tbe  sportsmen  of  tbe  Pacific 
Coast.  At  tbe  recent  tournament  of  the  Grants  Pass 
Gun  Club,  R.  C.  Reed  shot  high  average,  93.5.  R.  L. 
Bartlett  was  first  amateur  average  84.5,  and  Thos. 
Armstrong  83  6%,  second  amateur  average.  D.  W. 
King,  Jr.,  made  the  best  consecutive  run,  69.  These 
good  scores  were  made  with  Selby  Factory  Loaded 
Shells — ammunition  that  is  always  ready  and  reliable. 

EXCELLENT    RESULTS. 

A.  J.  Webb,  who  won  the  Northwest  Individual 
Target  Championship  recently  at  Portland,  Phil 
B.  Bekeart  challenge  cup  at  Ingleside,  also  won  tbe 
Empire  Gun  Club  Championship,  the  Sweeney  Record 
Medal  and  tied  for  club  high  average  for  1905.  Webb 
shoots  an  L.  C.  Smith  hammerless  and  has  done  so 
for  years  past.

THE   FARM. 


Butter. 


One    may    delay   the    doing   of  many 
things  without  loss,  but  to  pat  off  churn- 
ijng  when   the  cream  is  ripe,  is  not  in  the 
lliat.    The  miBtake  must  not   be   made  of 
thinking  that  butter  is   made   by  churn- 
ling.    It  is  being  made  from   the  time  the 
mUk  is  drawn   until  it   is  churned.     No 
lamount    of    doctoring    will  cure  a   poor 
iquality   of   butter.     It  is  of   the   utmost  | 
^importance   that  the  churn   be  scrupul- 
ously  clean   and    sweet    smelling   before 
'using.     In  order  to  have  it  so,  it  must  be 
washed  immediately  after  using-,  scalded 
and  Bet  where  it  will  be  thoroughly  aired 
and  dried,  writes  Mrs.  A.    C.    McPnerson 
.in  Orange  Judd  Farmer.  Rinsing  in  ''ime 
water  o  casionally  is  of   benefit  and  will 
remove  the  musty  odors  which  sometime 
linger   around    churns.    The  putting  of 
cold  water  into  the  churn  after  cleansing, 
as  practiced  by  some  dairymen,  is  not  to 
be  recommended,  as   a    very   unpleasant 
odor  will  be  developed  in   a   day   or  two, 
especially  if  the  day  is  warm. 
1      After  scalding   the  churn,  preparatory 
to  using,  it  must  be  rinsed  in  cold  water, 
1  or  elsed  a  woody  smell   will   be  imparted 
i  to  the  cream.     All  wooden   utensils   used 
1  in  dairy  work   should   be  washed  in  tepid 
'  water  first,  and  afterward  scalded,  rinsed 
and  dried.    The  dishcloth  must  never  be 
used  in  dairy   work.     If   a   cloth   is  ever 
'  necessary,  it  must   be   for  that  one  use. 
!  Woodenware     can     be     cleansed     more 
I  rapidly,  neatly  and  satisfactorily  with  the 
I  aid  of  a  brush  ;  either  rice  straw  or  bristle 
i  brush  should    be  kept    for  this   puipose 
]  alone. 

j  If  a  concussion  churn  is  used,  when 
i  the  butter  begins  to  come — when  about 
a  the  size  of  a  grain  of  wheat — the  churn 
J  should  be  stopped  for  five  or  more  rain- 
,1  ntes,  or  until  the  granules  rise  to  the  top. 
»  The  buttermilk  must  then  be  drained  off 
3  and  cold  water  added  to  work  the  butter 
.'.  in  the  churn.  A  skimmer  may  be  used 
i|  to  remove  the  butter  from  the  churn. 
ii  This  should  be  when  it  is  firm  and  well 
:r  rinsed.  The  butter  now  in  the  granular 
''  state  must  be  drained  and  salted  with  the 
«  best  dairy  salt. 

[■  We  prefer  to  salt  butter  after  it  is  re- 
:'  moved  from  the  ilium,  rather  than  brine 
salt  it.  We  salt  at  the  rate  of  \}i  ounces 
salt  per  pound  and  think  it  adds  to  the 
''  keeping  qualities  of  the  butter,  better 
D'  than  the  ounce  to  the  pound  method. 
,,  Patrons  find  no  fault  with  our  butter  so 
o  prepared.  We  work  lightly,  just  enough 
D,'  to  incorporate  the  salt  evenly,  without 
"!  maahing  and  smearing  it  We  preBS  and 
fS  touch  it  lightly  and  daintily,  Bhape  it,  or

cut  it  into  aay  desired  form  and  pack  it 
ready  for  market.  The  Bnoner  it  ia  de- 
livered the  better.  The  delicate  aroma 
which  all  well-made  butter  has  is  very 
evanescent,  and  when  made  in  rolls  or 
packages,  exposure  to  the  air  soon  dis- 
sipates this  delicate  flavor.  Cold  storage 
does  not  help  to  retain  tbis  flavor.  Pack- 
ing in  jars  so  as  to  exclude  the  air  is  the 
only  way  to  retain  it.  The  market  value 
of  butter  depends  upon  its  flavor  more 
than  any  other  quality.  Appearance 
should  be  given  due  prominence,  but 
flavor  is  paramount. 

New  Attack  by  Oleo. 

The  safety  of  pure  butter  from  competi- 
tion with  oleomargarine  iB  again  menaced 
if  certain  reports  from  the  East  are 
correct.  As  all  those  identified  with  the 
butter  industry  of  the  country  know,  the 
protection  that  butter  enjoys  from  its 
spurious  competitor  lies  in  the  fact  that 
butter  producers  have  permission  to  colcr 
their  product  to  a  shade  that  suits  the 
demand  of  the  trade,  whenever  the  color 
ie  lacking,  which  it  is  under  certain  con- 
dit  ons  of  feed,  aB  governed  by  climate, 
season?,  certain  conditions  of  soil  and 
with  the  great  majority  of  the  cows  of  the 
country.  In  times  past,  butter  was  made 
mostly  from  natural  pasturage  which 
giveB  a  rich,  yellow  shade  to  butter  and 
in  this  way  the  public  taste  many  years 
ago,  was  educated  to  demand  a  yellow 
shade  in  its  butter.  Now  a-days  we  make 
butter  in  winter  as  well  as  in  summer. 
The  natural  pasturesof  the  Eastern  states 
can  produce  only  a  small  proportion  of 
the  country's  butter  BUpply,  and  the 
clover  and  alfalfa  fields  of  the  Western 
states  must  be  drawn  upon.  Neither  is  it 
profitable  to  keep  a  cow  in  idleness  when 
the  pastures  are  not  green.  But  the 
butter  made  under  these  conditions,  while 
superior  in  every  oth2r  respect  to  the  old 
time  Eastern  butter,  lacks  the  yellow 
color  to  make  it  acceptable  to  the  average 
taste,  and  hence  arose  out  of  necessity 
the  practice  of  coloring  butter. 

This  may  not  be  done  with  oleomar- 
garine under  the  law  of  congress,  and 
most  of  the  states.  This  permission  was 
denied  to  that  product  by  law,  because  it 
was  done  for  the  purpose  of  fraud.  It  is 
this  permission  to  color  butter  that  stands 
in  the  way  of  the  oleomargarine  fraud. 
The  oleomargarine  interests  tried  by 
every  device  to  prevent  the  anti-color  bill 
from  becoming  a  law.  They  tried  to  de- 
feat it  in  the  courts  after  it  became  a  law, 
but  signally  failed. 

Now  they  propose  a  new  method  of 
attack.  Unfortunately  thev  seem  to  have 
with  them  the  chief  chemist  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture,  Dr.  H. 
I.  WPey,  who,  in  the  interest  of  purity  in 
foods,  is  decrying  artificial  coloring.  Of 
course  this  looks  to  the  oleomargarine 
interestslikethings  coming  their  way  and 
they  are  keeping  very  quiet  about  it.  If 
they  have  such  a  leader  as  Dr.  Wiley  to 
lend  himself  to  their  scheme  we  may  rest 
assured  they  will  see  that  sinews  of  war 
are  not  lacking.  There  is,  and  will  be  for 
many  years  to  come,  much  legislation  by 
congress  on  the  food  question.  This  will 
give  them  their  opportunity  to  fight  for 
legislation  to  p-event  the  coloring  of 
butter  under  their  pretended  interests  in 
pure  foodB.  The  same  thing  is  being 
agitated  in  several  states.  If  the  oleomar- 
garine people  can  have  their  way,  they 
will  either  block  all  pure  food  legislation, 
or  insist  upon  it  including  the  prevention 
of  coloring  butter. 

Eastern  dairy  organizations  seem  to  be 
on  the  alert,  however,  and  have  entered 
the  fight  again  in  opposition  to  the 
schemes  of  the  ole  margarine  makere. 
It  behooves  every  dairyman  to  watch 
closely  developments  along  this  line  in 
the  future.— Dairy  and  Produce  Review*

this  method  to  be  quite  profitable.

[July  22,  1905 


Established  Dairy  Facts. 

Ten  or  fifteen  veare  ago  the  agricultural 
papera  of  the  United  States  were  actively 
engaged  in  discussing  a  number  of  mooted 
questions  concerning  the  relation  of  the 
feed  of  cows  tu  milk  production.  Prior  to 
that  time  there  was  a  very  general  con- 
viction among  farmers  that  both  the 
quality  and  quantity  of  the  milk  could 
be  improved  by  feeding. 

The  farmer  who  was  selling  milk  for 
town  consumption  had  the  conviction 
that  if  he  fed  hie  cows  bran  he  would  not 
only  get  a  great  deal  more  milk,  but  less 
rich  in  butter  fat;  in  other  words,  that  he 
could  adulterate  the  butter  fat  with  slop 
feed  or  bran  mashes  and  get  more  money 
for  it.  He  also  believed  that  he  could  in- 
crease the  butter  fat  by  more  concentrated 
food. 

When  this  was  fully  thrashed  out,  the 
conclusion  reached  was  that  while  more 
abundant  feeding  up  to  the  capacity  of 
the  cow  would  increase  the  quantity  of 
milk,  the  per  cent  of  batter  fat  in  the 
milk  was  determined  by  the  idiosyncrasy 
of  the  cow,  and  that  this  could  not  be  in- 
creased provided  thecow  was  fed  a  normal 
ration ;  that  is,  if  the  cow  was  getting  Ibbb 
feed,  and  feed  of  an  inferior  quality,  and 
then  was  changed  to  a  feed  adapted  to 
her,  there  would  be  an  increaae  in  her 
richness  or  butter  fat  in  the  milk,  but 
beyond  this  point  no  increase  waB  poB- 
Bible. 

It  was  also  discovered  that  there  were 
changeB  in  the  percentage  of  butter  fat  in 
the  milk  from  day  to  day  for  which  no 
adequate  reason  could  be  discovered. 

The  British  investigators  took  this  up, 
and  from  one  of  our  foreign  exchanges  we 
quote  their  conclusions,  which  are  quite 
in  line  with  the  conclusions,  of  the  investi- 
gators on  this  Bide: 

"That  when  a  cow  is  in  full  milk  and 
full  fleBh  she  will  give  her  normal  quality 
of  milk  for  at  least  a  limited  time,  even 
though  the  quality  and  quantity  of  food 
be  very  deficient. 

"That  when  in  good  condition  a  cow 
will  take  off  her  body  whatever  is  deficient 
in  food  in  order  to  give  her  normal  qual- 
ity of  milk. 

"That  an  extra  supply  of  nutritious 
food  at  all  times  increases  the  quantity  of 
milk,  but  the  percentage  of  fat  is  not  in 
any  way  improved  by  it;  if  anything,  the 
tendency  being  the  other  way. 

"That  an  extra  Bupply  of  nutritious 
food  almost  invariably  very  slightly 
increases  the  solids  not  fat  of  the  milk. 
That  a  ration  poor  in  food  ingredients  has 
a  very  slight  tendency  to  reduce  the  solids 
not  fat  in  milk,  but  has  little  appreciable 
effect  on  the  fat. 

"That  with  a  poor  ration  a  cow  in  full 
milk  will  lose  carcass  weight,  while  on 
a  rich  diet  she  will  gain  weight. 

"That  although  the  percentage  of  fat 
in  a  cow's  milk  may  vary  daily  we  at 
present  seem  unable  to  control  these 
variations  or  to  account  for  them. 

"That  for  limited  periods  up  to  one 
month  or  thereaboutB,  all  ordinary  quanti- 
ties and  qualities  of  foods  seem  to  have 
no  material  effeet  on  the  quality  of  the 
milk. 

"That  some  feeds  exercise  a  material 
effect  in  raising  the  melting  point  of 
butter. 

'That  the  aim  of  all  producers  of  milk, 
butter  and  cheese  should  be  to  feed  what 
will  give  quantity  in  moderate  amount 
and  of  a  mixed  nature,  and  then  the 
produce  will  be  the  beet  that  cow  can 
give. 

"That  extra  quality  must  be  looked  for 
by  improving  the  breeds  and  judicious 
selection  rather  than  by  any  special  foods 
or  methods  of  feeding. 

"That  the  variations  in  the  percentage 
of  fat  in  a  cow's  milk  are  caused  by  some 
tbing,  but  what  that  something  is  we  at 
present  do  not  know,  though  if  we  did  we 
might  be  able  to  influence  the  quality. —

California  Cattle  far  Australia. 


The  repeal  of  the  quarantine  against 
American  bred  cattle  and  sheep,  which 
has  closed  the  ports  of  Australia  to 
breeders  and  stockmen  of  this  country, 
has  resulted  in  a  prompt  and  gratifying 
demand  from  the  Australian  ranchers 
for  American  stock. 

C.  E.  Binnie,  of  Sydney,  Australia, 
arrived  in  this  city  yesterday  in  com- 
pany with  J.  H.  Hoyt,  sheep  inspector 
of  Solano  oounty.  Yesterday  they 
visited  the  ranch  of  Henry  Glide,  south 
of  this  city,  to  arrange  for  the  purchase 
of  a  number  of  registered  French  merino 
sheep  to  be  used  for  breeding  pur- 
poses in  Australia.  Mr.  Binnie  stated 
that  the  owners  of  finer  stock  were 
aggrieved  at  the  action  of  the  Govern- 
ment, since  the  superior  value  of  the 
French  merino  sheep  has  been  recognized 
ever  since  the  first  exportation  from  the 
Glide  ranch.  This  was  several  years 
ago  when  Jas.  F.  Roberts,  a  rancher  of 
Livermore,  returned  to  Australia,  tak-. 
ing  with  him  a  half  dozen  of  the  finest 
animals  bred  in  this  oountry.  Mr.  Bin- 
nie, it  was  stated,  is  also  arranging  for 
heavy  purchases  of  registered  cattle 
and  will  take  to  Australia  the  first 
steam  harvester  ever  used  on  the  island 
continent. 

It  is  but  a  short  time  since  Mr.  Glide 
exported  to  South  Africa  sixty  head  of 
sheep  which  were  purchased  at  Cape- 
town by  the  agent  for  General  Cronje, 
one  of  the  war  heroes,  who  has  aban- 
doned the  sword  for  the  sickle,  and  is 
engaged  in  cattle  raising  on  alarge  scale. 
Mr.  Glide  recently  received  a  letter  in 
the  hand  writing  of  General  Cronje,  ex- 
pressing satisfaction  with  the  results 
obtained. 

Another  large  shipment  will  be  made 
to  Honolulu  next  week.  Mr.  Glide  ex- 
ports five  hundred  head  of  sheep  annually 
to  France,  England,  Germany,  Africa 
and  Australia.—  Sacramento  Union. 


Age  to  Castrate  Lambs. 

In  a  recent  article  on  the  subject  of 
castration  of  lambs,  it  was  advised  that 
the  operation  be  performed  when  lambB 
are  fifteen  days  old.  This  advice  was 
baBed  upon  an  extensive  experience  with 
the  operation,  but  we  have  nothing  to  say 
against  castrating  lambs  at  five  dayB  old, 
provided  those  folio  ■  ing  the  practice 
have  good  Buccess.  We  have  preferred 
fifteen  days  as  the  best  time,  thinking 
the  lambs  by  that  time  would  have  be- 
come strong,  in  good  health,  over  the 
troubles  sometimes  experienced  from  the 
first  milk  of  the  dam,  and  less  liable  to 
quit  Bucking  as  a  reBult  of  the  operation. 
In  many  instances  lambs  at  five  days  old 
are  weakly  beasties  not  in  a  fit  state  to 
withstand  shock  cf  castration,  :o  that  it 
is  better  to  wait  until  they  gather  strength 
and  are  thriving  nicely.  This  is  specially 
true  when  ewes  have  had  a  hard  winter 
upon  incomplete  rations  of  hay  and  fod- 
der without  grain,  When  ewes  are  well 
fed  and  have  thriven  well  during  the 
winter,  their  lambs  would  be  better  able 
to  stand  the  early  operation.  It  is  ap- 
parent, therefore,  that  good  judgment 
should  be  used  in  deciding  when  to  cas- 
trate, and  we  should  always  wait  for  good 
weather  even  were  lambs  to  go  longer 
than  fifteen  days  uncut.—  A.S.  Alexander 
V.  S. 

There  seems  to  be  an  animal  magnetism 
between  men  and  cowa  which  makes  one 
milker  more  acceptable  than  another.  It 
is  unnecessary  to  say  that  it  is  unprofita- 
ble for  anyone  to  attempt  the  care  of  cows 
who  dislikes  such  work.  There  is  such  a 
thing  as  incompatibility  of  disposition 
between  a  cow  and  her  keeper,  which 
must  be  respected.

Water  for  Work  Animals. 


Remember  that  the  stomach  of  the 
horse  is  small  hence  it  should  have  fre- 
quent drinks  of  water  in  the  day  and 
especially  in  summer.  Not  only  this,  but 
the  water  should  be  fresh  and  cool  and 
given  from  a  clean  receptacle.  During 
the  day,  between  meal,  there  is  no  reason 
why  the  horse  should  not  have  all  the 
water  it  wants,  provided  it  iB  doing  only 
ordinary  hard  work. 

There  are  other  places  for  water  also; 
when  the  horse  comes  in  from  the  field 
remove  the  halter  and  head  gear  and 
with  a  large  sponge  go  over  the  entire 
head  and  shoulders  with  the  water,  re- 
moving all  the  soil  and  prespiration ;  let 
the  water  be  used  freely  about  the  ears, 
the  nostrils  and  in  the  mouth.  Then  go 
over  the  rest  of  the  body  and  wipe  it 
thoroughly  with  the  wet  Bponge.  This 
sort  of  treatment  will  do  the  animal  a 
world  of  good  and  it  will  eat  better,  sleep 
better  and  work  better  for  this  humane 
treatment. 

In  warm  weather  look  out  for  tender 
BpotB  on  the  horse  where  the  harness 
chafes ;  be  watchful  that  the  harness  fits 
in  every  part  so  that  the  work  may  be 
done  without  flinching.  If  the  collar  does 
not  fit  see  that  it  iB  attended  to  at  once 
for  the  harness  maker's  bill  will  be  lesB 
than  the  value  of  the  services  of  the 
horse  if  it  is  laid.up  for  a  week  with  a 
sore  Bhoulder.  Don't  forget  the  nightly 
grooming  and  see  that  it  is  thoroughly 
done. 

A  Cream  Cooling  Device. 

Now  that  the  hot  season  ib  approach- 
ing, I  desire  to  call  attention  of  butter 
makers  to  the  bad  practice  of  putting  ice 
into  the  cream  for  cooling  purposes.  If 
you  will  just  allow  some  ice  to  melt  in  a 
pail,  and  notice  the  impurities  left  in  the 
water,  you  will  know  why  I  say  "bad 
practice."  But  the  cream  must  be  cooled 
and  you  are  not  so  fixed  that  you  can  ice 
the  water  around  the  cream  vat  suf- 
ficently  to  lower  the  temperature  of  the 
cream  quite  enough,  and  consequently 
you  think  that  you  are  rather  compelled 
to  put  ice  into  your  cream.  You  are 
really  not  compelled  to  do  any  such 
thing.  If  you  cannot  cool  your  cream  by 
icing  the  water  outside  the  cream  vat, 
try  this  plan: 

Take  two  or  three  long  pails— "shotgun 
cans"  are  the  best.  Clean  them  thor- 
oughly on  both  outside  and  inside,  fill 
them  full  of  crushed  ice  and  Bet  them 
into  the  cream.  Try  this  plan.  I  be 
lieve  you  will  like  it  better  than  putting 
ice  into  the  body  of  the  cream.— Creamery 
Journal.

This  Truck  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  the  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  villages  and  small  cities.

several  small  towns  on  the  way,  which  will  make  tbe 
Santa  Rosa  track  accessible  to  several  thousand  people 
at  a  very  small,  cost,  who  have,  heretofore  found  it 
very  inconvenient  to  -visit  meetings  held  there.  The 
new  line  to  Napa  has  also  put  that  thriving  city  of 
6000  inhabitants  within  two  hours-ride  of  Santa  Rosa, 
and  the  meeting  will  doubtless  draw  quite  a  crowd 
from  there.  The  races  to  be  held  promise  even  faster 
time  than  resulted  at  Loe  Angeles  and  Fresno.  There 
is  no  faster  track  in  California  than  the  one  at  the 
county  seat  of  Sonoma  county  and  the  people  are 
enthusiastic  ad  mirers  of  the  ligb t  harness  horse,  fully 
realizing  tbe  fact  that  the  world's  champion  trotter 
was  bred,  foaled  and  first  trained  to  trot  at  tbe  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm.  There  are  glorious  prospects  for 
high  class  racing  and  record  breaking  at  the  Breeders 
meeting  next  month. 


San  Francisco,  Saturday,  July  29,  1905, 


A  SMALL  ADVERTISEMENT  is  often  far  reach- 
ing. Some  weeks  ago  Mr.  Topham  of  Milpitas, 
SantaClaracounty.useda  small  space  in  the  Breedek 
and  Sportsman  to  state  the  fact  that  his  stallion 
Peralta  was  for  sale.  Within  a  few  days  after  the 
piper  containing  tbe  advertisement  reached  its  read- 
ers in  New  Zealand  (who  are  quite  numerous,  by  the 
way),  came  a  cablegram  addressed  to  the  proprietor 
of  this  journal  asking  the  price  on  this  horse.  The 
owner  was  communicated  with,  the  price  ascertained 
and  cabled  to  the  enquirer,  Mr.  H.J.  Taska  of  Christ- 
churcb,  New  Zealand.  That  gentleman  immediately 
cabled  that  the  price  was  satisfactory  and  that  he 
would  take  the  horse,  the  money  for  which  was  sent 
by  the  next  mail.  Peralta  will  leave  San  Francisco  on 
the  steamer  Sonoma  of  the  Oceanic  line  which  is 
advertised  to  sail  for  Auckland  and  Sydney,  August 
10th.  Peralta  is  now  at  the  Hulda  Stables  in  this 
city  and  Is  a  fine  looking  five-year-old  stallion.  His 
Bire  is  that  great  producer  of  speed  Nutwood  Wilkes 
2:164,  sire  of  John  A.  McKerron  2:04J,  Tidal  Wave 
2:09,  Who  Is  It  2:iOJ,  Stanton  Wilkes  2:10}  and  many 
other  fast  ones,  and  his  dam  is  Rose  McKinney, 
daughter  of  the  greatest  of  all  sires  McKinney  2:11}, 
and  the  dam  of  that  never  beaten  colt  Almaden,  rec- 
ord 2:22 J  as  a  two-year-old,  winner  of  the  Pacific 
Breeders  Futurity  in  1903  and  the  Occident  Stake  in 
1904.  Rose  McKinney 's  dam  is  Queen  Bee  by  Forest 
Clay  1934,  next  dam  Lovelia  by  Almont  Lightning 
1023,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Zombro  2:11,  and  next  dam 
Daisy  by  the  great  thoroughbred  horse  imported 
Yorkshire.  Peralta  is  a  bay  horse,  16  hands  high, 
weigbe  about  1100  pounds,  and  a  very  fine  individual. 
The  Nutwood  Wilkes-McKinney  cross  has  produced 
speed  every  time  it  has  been  tried,  and  while  Peralta 
has  never  been  trained,  there  is  no  doubtbut  he  could 
get  a  low  record  if  put  put  in  the  hands  of  a  trainer. 
He  is  the  best  bred  and  the  best  looking  stallion  that, 
has  been  sent  from  America  to  New  Zealand  and  will 
help  improve  the  trotting  breed  of  horses  in  that 
country.  Since  he  was  sold  to  Mr.  Taska,  there  have 
been  many  inquiries  about  him,  and  those  who  have 
looked  him  over  since  he  has  been  at  the  Hulda  Stables 
have  expressed  surprise  that  such  a  horse  was  per- 
mitted to  leave  the  country  at  the  price  Mr.  Taska 
secured  him  lor. 


SANTA  ROSA  TRACK  will  be  the  centreof  attrac- 
tion for  California  admirers  of  the  harness  horse 
from  now  until  the  close  of  the  Breeders  meeting 
which  opens  there  August  16th.  A  very  large  pro- 
portion of  the  horses  named  to  race  at  the  meeting 
are  already  at  this  track,  which  is  in  fine  condition. 
The  weather  is  excellent,  not  too  hot  for  comfort,  but 
balmy  and  warm,  with  just  enough  of  the  Coast 
breeze  to  invigorate  men  and  horses.  The  Santa  Rosa 
meeting  will  be  one  of  the  mOBt  important  held  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  this  year.  The  four  divisions  of  the 
two  futurity  6takes  to  be  decided  will  attract  the 
attention  of  every  harness  horse  breeder,  and  as  the 
colts  and  fillies  to  start  will  not  be  named  until  August 
7th,  ten  days  before  the  meeting  opens,  there  is  much 
speculation  whether  or  not  from  out'  the  woods"  may 
not  come  young  trotterB  and  pacers  that  may  defeat 
the  high  class  youngsters  eligible  to  thesestakes,  that 
have  already  shown  their  Bpeed  and  mettle  at  Los 
Angeles  and  Fresno.  Some  of  the  very  fast  ones,  the 
pacer  Rockaway  for  instance,  are  not  in  this  stake, 
which  should  be  a  warning  to  every  breeder  to  enter 
his  colts  in  stakes  and  keep  them  there,  as  the  earning 
capacity  of  a  colt  is  very  small  unless  he  canst^rtin 
stake  races.  The  Santa  Rosa  meeting  will  be  much 
benefitted  this  year  by  the  new  railroad  lines  that  have 
been  completed  since  last  year.  An  electric  line  now 
runs  from  Petaluma  to  Santa  Rosa,  passing  through 


""THE  FOLLOWING  TRIBUTE  to  the  memory  of 
*  the  late  Blaine  S.  McMahan  was  written  by  Dr. 
J.  W.  Neal,  editor  and  manager  of  The  Western 
Horseman,  and  printed  in  tbe  issue  of  July2Ist  of 
that  journal.  After  giving  thefacts-of  the  young 
man's  untimely  death,  the  article  says:  "On  Wednes- 
day afternoon,  July  20th,  the  remains  reached  Rush 
ville,  and  Thursday  forenoon  all  that  is  left  of  an 
idolized  son  and  brother,  a  devoted  and  true  friend 
and  the  emblem  of  noble  young  manhood  was  laid  to 
rest.  Peace  to  his  ashes  and  heavenly  repose  to  his 
ever  noble,  true,  companionable  and  always  well- 
meaning  spirit.  If  ever  a  man  lived  to  the  age  of 
twenty-five  years  without  making  a  single  enemy  in 
the  world  that  man  was  Blaine  S.  McMahan.  By 
nature  always  good-humored,  affable,  pleasant  and 
obliging,  self-culture  and  innate  regard  for  the  finer 
feelings  of  others  made  Blaine  S.  McMahan  a  polished 
nobleman  among  "young  men  of  the  world,"  and 
really  and  truly  none  knew  him  only  to  love  and 
respect  him.  He  was  the  only  son  of  Dr.  S.  W.  Mc- 
Mahan, long  a  part  owner  and  co-editor  of  The 
Western  Horseman,  and  Blaine  literally  grew  up  in 
The  Western  Horseman  office.  Last  November  he 
went  to  California,  and  later  connected  himself  with 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  as  associate  editor 
and  traveling  business  and  news  gatherer  and  at  the 
time  of  his  sad  ending  was  acting  also  as  assistant 
secretary  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' 
Association.  He  leaves  behind  a  devoted  mother, 
Mrs.  Lydia  McMahan,  and  a  worshipful  sister,  Miss 
Anna,  to  whom  will  spontaneously  go  the  sacred  sym- 
pathy of  hundreds,  nay,  thousands,  of  the  readers 
of  The  Western  Horseman.  Tbe  editor  of  The  Western, 
Horseman  knew  Blaine  as  probably  no  one  else  ever 
knew  him,  and  he  mourns  his  loss  as  the  loss  of 
an  own  son." 


MAKE  YOUR  STARTING  PAYMENTS  for  the 
divisions  of  the  Pacific  Breeders  Futurity  in 
which  you  expect  to  start  your  colts  this  year.  There 
are  four  events  remember,  one  each  for  two  and  three 
year  old  trotters  and  pacers.  These  colt  stakes  are 
expected  to  furnish  some  of  the  best  contests  of  the 
Santa  Rosa  meeting,  and  there  will  be  no  races  on 
the  program  that  will  excite  more  interest.  If  you 
can  win  any  part  of  any  stake,  or  your  colt  can  make 
a  good  showing  in  any  one  heat  even,  his  value  in 
case  you  want  to  sell,  will  be  added  to  much  more 
than  the  entrance  and  starting  fees  cost.  The  sums 
to  be  won  in  either  division  of  these  stake3  are  worth 
trying  for.  The  three-year-old  trotters  have  $2000  to 
contest  for,  the  two-year-old  trotters  $1000.  For  the 
three-year-old  pacers  there  is  the  neat  sum  of  $1250, 
and  for  the  two-year-olds  $750.  Then  there  is  $.00  fir 
the  person  who  originally  nominated  the  dam  of  the 
winner  of  any  of  these  events,  and  $100  to  the  owner 
of  the  sire  of  the  winner  of  either  of  the  three-year- 
old  races.  The  Breeders  Futurity  is  a  stake  in  which 
the  money  is  widely  distributed  and  each  prize  well 
worth  winning.  The  starting  payments  must  be 
made  on  or  before  August  7th.  See  that  you  make 
payment  on  your  colt  in  time. 


THE  FIRST  RENEWAL  of  tbe  Crowley  Stake, 
which  is  a  side  stake  for  starters  in  the  Pacific 
Breeders  Futurity,  will  close  for  entries  on  Tuesday 
next,  August  1st.  Entries  are  already  coming  in  and 
more  than  ono  owner  of  a  foal  of  1905  believes  he  will 
have  the  winner.  This  stake  was  inaugurated  last 
year  at  the  suggestion  of  Mr.  T.  J.  Crowley,  and 
received  27  entries  at  $25  each,  a  total  of  $675.  There 
is  only  one  payment  to  be  made  in  this  stake — the 
original  one  of  $25  on  each  entry.  The  first  stake  was 
for  foals  of  1905.  The  renewal  is  for  foals  of  this  year. 
The  stake  is  like  a  side  bet  on  the  colts  that  are 
entered  in  it.  The  money  paid  in  on  the  trotting  colts 
will  go  to  those  that  trot,  and  that  paid  in  on  pacere 
will  go  to  those  that  pace.  Every  colt  and  filly  that  is 
now  eligible  to  Breeders  Futurity  No.  5,  for  foals  of 
1905,  is  eligible  to  be  entered  in  the  Crowley  Stake. 
Owners  desiring  to  enter  Bhould  read   the  conditions 


of  the  stake  printed  in  this  issue  of  tbe  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  in  the  advertising  columns,  and  send  $25 
to  Secretary  F.  W.  Kelley  on  or  before  August  1st, 
with  the  desci-iption  and  breeding  of  the  foal. 

JTTHE  ARIZONA  FAIR,  to  beheld  during  the 
1  month  of  December,  has  attracted  the  attention 
of  many  California  horsemen  and  several  owners  of 
fast  trotters  and  pacers  have  been-figuring  on  enter- 
ing their  horses. in  the  $1000  purees  that  have  been 
offered.  A  fair  and  a  race  meeting  in  December  is  a 
novelty,  but  when  held  at  Phoenix,  Arizona,  during 
that  month,  perfect  weather  and  a  fast  track  can  be 
relied  on.  Note  the  advertisement  in  this  issue,  and 
write  to  the  Secretary  for  further  particulars.  Entries 
do  not  close  until  November  l6t,  but  if  you  enter  now, 
records  made  after  making  the  entry  will  not  be  a  bar.

Improvement  Company  of  Sharon,  and  Mr.  C.  E. 
Needham  of  Bellota,  advertised  for  July  24tb,  was  a 
very  successful  one.  All  the  horses  that  were  in  good 
condition  sold  well.  Many  were  not  in  the  best  salable 
shape  and  but  a  few  were  of  standard  breed'ng.  The 
sale  pavilion  was  crowded  to  its  utmost  capacity,  tbe 
spectators  eucroacbing  en  the  ring,  and  making  the 
work  of  the  men  handling  the  6tock  decidedly  difficult.

Edith  by  Geo.  Wilkes  Is  Dead. 

Very  few  of  the  sons  and  daughters  of  that  great 
sire  Geo.  Wilkes  are  living.  One  o£  -the  latest  of  his 
progeny  to  succumb  to  the  inevitable  is  Edith,  the 
dam  of  Idolita  2:09},  of  Hummer  sife~  of  Bouncer  2:09 
and  many  others.  Edith  was  foaled  in  April,  1SS1, 
and  bred  by  B.  J.  Treacy  of  Lexington,  Kentucky. 
She  was  one  of  the  mares  selected  by  Senator  Stanford 
to  mate  with  Electioneer.  Her  first  foal  was 
Hummer  that  is  now  the  sire  of  15  trotters  and  12 
pacers  with  standard  records,  the  fastest  of  which  are 
Bouncer  2:09,  Stately  2:11},  Spalpeen2:12J  and  Quickly

OPENING     OF     GRAND     CIRCUIT. 

Chamber  of  Commerce   Stake  Won   by  Walter 
Direct  and  M.  &  M.  by  Angle. 

Every  heat  a  race  was  the  plan  of  the  first  meeting 
on  the  Grand  Circuit  which  opened  at  Detroit  last 
Monday.  After  deducting  ten  per  cent  of  the  purse, 
which  was  to  go  to  the  winner  of  the  most  heats,  the 
money  was  divided  into  three  equal  parts,  and  one  of 
these  parts  was  contested  for  by  the  horses  in  each 
heat,  divided  as  follows  into  four  moneys.  For 
instance  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  Stake  $5000,  had 
8500  deducted  for  the  race  winner.  The  $4500  remain- 
ing was  then  divided  into  three  equal  parts,  or  $1500 
for  each  heat.  Heat  winners  therefor  got  $750,  second 
horses  $375,  third  horses  $225,  and  horses  that  were 
fourth  $150.  Walter  Direct,  driven  by  Ed  Geers  won 
every  heat  of  theChamber  of  Commerce  and  therefore 
earned  $2250,  to  which  was  added  $500  for  standing 
bast  in  the  final  summary,  making  his  total  winnings 
$2750,  or  $250  more  than  he  would  have  received  by 
the  old  plan.  Bonanza  was  second  in  every  heat  and 
won  $1125,  as  against  $1250  by  the  old  style  race,  F.  J. 
Park  was  5-3-3  and  was  awarded  $450,  instead  of  $750 
which  he  would  have  received  as  third  horse  under 
the  former  method  of  dividing  the  money,  and  the 
fourth  horse  in  the  summary,  The  Contractor,  by 
standing  3-1-4  got  $525  or  $75  more  than  the  third 
horse.  Bonnie  Wilkes  by  being  fourth  in  the  first 
heat  won  $150,  and  although  distanced  in  the  second 
heat  retained  this  money.  Had  the  race  been  a  split 
heat  affair,  that  is  had  a  different  horse  won  each 
heat,  the  money  would  have  been  much  more  widely 
distributed,  but  the  race  would  have  ended  at  the 
close  of  the  third  heat  just  the  same. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  Stake  was  the  feature 
event  of  the  opening  day  of  the  twenty-second  Blue 
Ribbon  meeting  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club,  which 
begins  the  Grand  Circuit  of  1905.  Walter  Direct  was 
a  heavy  favorite,  bringing  $50  in  the  pools,  with  the 
field  at  $15. 

Hal  C.  had  the  pole  for  the  first  heat  of  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  stakes,  with  Bonnie  Wilkes 
and  Walter  Direct  next  in  alignment.  The  horses 
scored  several  times  before  the  word  was  given.  At 
the  first  turn  Walter  Direct  took  the  lead  and  held  it 
into  the  turn  and  into  the  home  stretch.  Geers  then 
made  one  of  his  famous  drives  and  won  the  heat  in 
record  lime  2:05  3-5.  Bonanza,  in  the  last  100  yards 
of  the  first  heat,  took  second  place  from  The  Con- 
tractor by  a  fine  burst  of  speed.  In  the  next  two 
heats  Walter  Direct  was  in  front  from  the  start.  Col. 
J.  C.  Kirkpatrick's  black  pacer,  Albuta  by  Altivo, 
was  a  starter  and  was  driven  by  Ben  Walker,  but 
after  finishing  sixth  in  the  first  heat  caught  the  flag 
in  the  second.  Bystander,  the  three-year-old  Zolock 
colt,  also  started  but  was  behind  the  red  bunting  the 
first  time  round. 

The  first  heat  of  the  2:20  trot  saw  the  field  selling  at 
$45  to  $50  for  Hardwood.  Hardwood  won  the  first 
heat  handily,  and  the  second  saw  Hardwood  a  favorite 
at  $50  to  $12  for  the  field.  It  was  too  simple  for  Hard- 
wood. For  the  third  heat  there  was  no  selling  against 
Saunders'  good  gelding,  and  Saunders'  being  Eure  of 
first  place,  was  satisfied  to  be  last.  Delia  McCarthy 
by  McKinney  was  one  of  the  starters  but  after  being 
last  in  two  heats  was  drawn. 

The  third  race  was  split,  as  Geary,  who  sold  for  $5 
in  pools  of  $125,  won  the  first  heat  hands  down.  The 
second  heat  saw  Geary  favorite,  but  James'  gelding 
was  not  Btrong  enough,  and  Miss  Willlmont  had 
rather  easy  picking  in  the  next  two  heats,  finishing  a 
length  ahead.  Ben  F.,  driven  by  De  Ryder,  and 
Oregon  Maid,  piloted  by  Henry  Helman,  were  sixth 
and  seventh  in  the  summary.  Ben  F.  won  $45  by 
being  fourth  In  one  heat.    The  summaries:

SECOND    DAY. 

The  Axtjll  ma  e  Angle,  drivsn  by  Ge  ir^e  Saunders, 
won  the  $10,000  M.  &  M.  state  on  Tuesday,  the  second 
day  of  the  meeting,  that  is,  she  took  the  first  and 
third  heats  and  the  biggest  portion  of  the  stake.  She 
was  unsteady  in  the  second  heat  which  went  to  Geer's 
mare  Clarita  W.,  that  was  favorite  before  the  race. 
The  time  of  the  raoe  was  not  specially  fast,  the  heats 
being  2:12*,  2:10i  and  2:11.  Angle  earned  $4000,  Clarita 
W.  $2250.  Watson  $1800,  Danube  $900,  Emma  Hoyt 
$750  and  Getaway  $300.  Brilliant  Girl,  driven  by 
Jack  Curry,  was  a  starter  in  this  event  but  was  drawn 
after  being  eighth  in  the  first  heat,  and  Mr.  De  La 
Montanya's  other  mare,  Tuna,  also  driven  by  Curry, 
got  the  flag  in  the  2:08  trot,  two  heats  of  which  were 
won  by  Tom  Axworthy  in  2:07J,  2:07J,  and  the  last 
and  final  heat  by  Dr.  Strong  in  2:06. 

A  heavy  shower  fell  while  the  first  beat  of  the 
opening  event  in  the  day's  card,  the  2:14  pace,  was 
being  driven.  The  track  was  soaked,  and  it  took  an 
hour  and  a  half's  work  with  harrows  to  place  it  in 
condition  for  the  first  heat  of  the  M.  &.  M. 

For  the  opening  race,  the  2:15  pace,  Red  Bud  was 
an  even-money  favorite  against  the  field,  but  Red  Bud 
was  no  where  and  finished  sixth,  while  Hazel  Banks 
won  easily.  The  second  heat  saw  Hazel  Banks  a 
favorite  at  $25  to  $10  for  the  field.  Red  Bud  took  the 
lead   owing  to   Hazel's  break   and   finished   easily  in

THIRD    DAY. 

An  excellent  track  and  fine  weather  was  the  order 
for  the  third  day  at  Detroit,  and  the  horses  stepped 
fast  in  every  event,  but  one  heat  being  slower  than 
2:10  during  the  afternoon. 

The  2:04  pace  had  but  three  starters,  but  it  was  1 
horse  race  with  Locanda  winner  of  the  big  end  of  the 
purse.  This  waB  a  heavy  betting  race.  Poole  sold 
with  Nathan  Strauss  $400,  King  Direct  $200  and  Lo- 
canda $150.  Snow  took  Locanda  out  in  front,  and 
after  making  the  half  in  1:02  had  enough  left  to  stand 
off  Nathan  Strauss  in  the  stretch  and  win  by  half  a 
length  in  2:05.  In  the  second  mile  Locanda  came  the 
last  quarter  in  0:29|,  and  again  beat  Nathan  Strauss. 
Nathan  Strauss  set  the  pace  in  the  third  beat  and  led 
to  the  Btretch,  where  Locanda  passed  him  and  in  turn

front.    The  third  was  a  procession,  Red  Bud  being  in 
front  all  the  way. 

Before  the  Merchants  and  Manufacturers'  Stake 
was  called  Clarita  W.,  Geer's  entry  for  the  stake,  waB 
the  favorite  in  the  early  pools,  bringing  $125,  with 
Angle  at  $100,  Danube  $75,  Allie  Jay  $25,  Watson, 
Brilliant  Girl  and  Bob  Burdette  $20  each,  and  the 
other  entries  $10. 

When  the  word  was  given  Allie  Jay  broke  away  in 
front,  but  soon  collapsed  and  Angle  went  to  the  front 
and  held  it,  with  Brilliant  Girl  and  Clarita  W.  as 
contenders.  Angle  won  easily  through  the  stretoh 
and  Clarita  W.  and  Emma  Hoyt  fought  it  for  second 
place.  In  the  second  heat  Angle  broke  at  the  start 
and  never  had  a  chance  to  win.  Clarita  W.  trotting 
down  the  homestretch  with  Watson  at  her  shoulder. 
The  third  heat  saw  Clarita  W.  at  $50,  with  the  field 
lively  at  $40.  Watson  made  the  pace  clear  to  the 
stretch  and  there  Angle  came  fast  and  won  out 
handily. 

Tom  Axworthy  was  favorite  at  $150  to  $90  on  the 
field  in  the  2:08  trot.  He  jvon  the  first  heat  easily,  but 
in  the  second  was  pushed  out  by  Dr  Strong.  Dr- 
Strong  went  to  the  front  at  the  quarter  in  the  third 
heat  and  trotted  home  in  easy  style  in  2:06,  the  fastest 
mile  trotted  this  year     Summaries:

was  beaten  out  by  Geers,  with  King  Direct  in  a  great 
finish. 

The  2:12  trot  resulted  in  one  of  the  best  races  of 
the  year  with  Sadie  Mac  winner  of  all  three  heats. 
Ed  Geers'  mare,  Gold  Dust  Maid,  drove  her  out  the 
first  heat  in  2:061,  but  Sadie  was  going  easy  at  tbe 
finish  and  locked  as  if  2:03  would  not  Btop  her.  Mack 
Mack  was  fourth  in  this  heat,  but  in  the  next  two 
heats  which  were  in  2:08J  and  2:11,  he  was  two, 
three,  while  Gold  Dust  Maid  was  distanced  in  the 
second  heat.  John  Caldwell  finished  a  good  third  in 
the  first  heat,  but  also  got  the  flag  in  the  second  heat.

Last  Two  Days  at  Fresno. 


Friday,  the  third  day  of  the  Breeders  meeting  at 
Fresno,  saw  an  increased  attendance  and  the  racing 
was  up  to  the  standard,  the  winners  of  both  harness 
races  reducing  their  previous  records. 

The  three-year-old  pace  brought  together  five  fillies 
of  great  merit,  and1  while  Delilah  by  Zolock  won 
rather  easily  In  the  first  two  heats,  she  made  a  break 
just  after  the  word  wa9  given  in  the  third  heat  and 
.  was  over  a  distance  out  before  getting  on  her  stride. 
She  paced  the  last  three-quarters,  however,  in  l:36f, 
the  last  half  in  1:03|  and  the  last  quarter  in  31  seconds 
and  won  the  heat  by  two  lengths.  She  is  a  great  filly 
and  gives  every  promise  of  pacing  close  to  2:10  this 
year.  It  will  be  remembered  that  she  was  the  fastest 
two-year-old  pacer  in  the'  United  States  last  year, 
getting  a  record  of  2:16}  when  she  won  the  pacing 
division  of  the  Breeders  Futurity  at  San  Jose.  She  is 
by  Zolock  2:05},  out  of  the  great  broodmare,  Gipsey, 
thegrandam  of  Zolock. 

■  The  2:17  trot  was  won  by  the  gray  gelding  What  Is 
It,  9on  of  Direct  2:05J  and  Lassie  Jean,  the  dam  of 
Who  Is  It  2:10}.  He  won  in  three  straight  heats. 
Cuate  was  the  favorite  in  this  race,  but  was  drawn 
before  getting  the  word  in  the  first  heat.  After 
scoring  the  trotters  for  over  half  an  hour,  and  being 
sent  to  the  stables  for  being  on  the  three-year-old 
pacers'  time,  the  judges  permitted  Cuate  to  be  with- 
drawn after  two  veterinary  surgeons  had  examined 
him  and  given  certificates  that  he   was  sick   and  un- 


the  four-year  old  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  owned  by  Mr. 
I.  L.  Borden  of  San  Francisco,  went  out  in  front  and 
won  without  being  headed  in  2:10},  although  he  was 
driven  hard  to  keep  Nellie  R.  from  getting  her  head 
in  front  at  the  finish.  The  second  heat  resulted  in  a 
nose  and  nose  finish  between  these  two  in  2:121,  and  in 
the  third  heat  Norda  tried  hard' to  head  the  Wilkes 
pacer  but  he  was  at  the  wire  first  in  2:16J.  Miss  Winn, 
Little  Joe  and  Little  Jib  were  distanced  in  the  first 
heat  and  Norda  and  Economizer  divided  third  and 
fourth  moneys  between  them. 

The  2:09  class  pace  saw  eight  out  of  the  eleven 
original  entries  go  to  the  post,  and  Zolock  drew  the 
pole.  He  could  have  taken  the  outside  and  beaten 
the  others,  and  won  the  two  heats  as  he  pleased  in 
2:091  and  2:08.  He  was  barred  in  the  pools  and  Kelly 
Briggs  made  favorite  at  $10  to  $6  for  the  field  con- 
sisting of  Rita  H.,  Jonesa  Baslea,  Daedalion,  MiES 
Idaho,  Le  Roi  and  Hassalo.  Kelly  Briggs  got  the 
pool  money  by  coming  2-3  in  the  summary,  Rita  H. 
being  given  a  ripping  drive  by  Durfee  in  the  second 
heat  and  finishing  second  to  Zolock,  who  was  shaken 
up  some  by  Delaney  when  be  saw  Rita's  burst  of 
speed,  although  the  son  of  McKinney  won  easily  in 
2:08. 

Will  Durfee  was  asked  to  drive  Oro  Belmont  in  the 
last  race,  and  that  horse  was  made  favorite  in  the  2:22 
trot,  which  he  won  in  straight  heatB,  with  Sam 
Bowers  second  and  Lady  Jones  third.  Wilmar  was 
drawn  after  the  first  heat,  owing  to  sickness.  The 
summaries:

able  to  race.  While  th'e'  face  was  decided  in  three 
straight  heats  it  was  a  hard  contest  for  the  gray  horse 
and  he  had  to  trot  his  best  every  heat  to  beat  Jupiter 
B.  and  The  Commonwealth. 

The  automobile  races  proved  very  interesting  con- 
tests although  no  records  were  smashed.  The  sum-

LAST  DAY. 
A  large  crowd  that  filled  the  grandstand  and  all  the 
available  standing  room  about  it.  saw  three  good 
races  on  the  last  day  of  the  Breeders  meeting  at 
Fresno.  The  first  race  called  was  the  2:17  pace  for  a 
purse  of  $800,  in  which  seven  horses  scored  for  the 
word  in  the  first  heat.  The  talent  had  picked  Nellie 
R.  the  mare  owned  by  Joseph  Long  of  Eureka,  to  win 
and  she  sold  for  $10,  against  $10  for  the  entire  field. 
There  was  considerable  Bcoring,  Little  Joe  acting

John  Shepard,  Boston's  oldeBt  and  most  noted  ama- 
teur reinsman,  has  agreed  to  take  part  in  a  special 
race  at  Syracuse  during  the  State  Fair  with  his  trot- 
ter, Alto  L.  2:09},  against  the  trotting  mare  Ida  High- 
wood  2:09},  owned  and  driven  by  Nathan  Straus,  a 
noted  amateur  reinsman  of  New  York.  To  the  win- 
ner of  the  race  will  be  presented  a  handsome  silver 
trophy,  and  those  who  see  the  contest  are  likely  to 
see  one  or  both  ef  the  horses  beat  2:10  to  wagon. 


On  Monday  at  Fresno,  the  horsemen  and  the  towns 
people  tendered  a  benefit  to  Willard  Zibbell,  the 
popular  young  trainer  who  lost  both  hands  and  one 
foot  in  the  recent  railroad  accident  at  that  place.  A 
good  program  of  dash  races  was  arranged,  in  which 
the  horses  were  driven  to  the  top  of  their  speed,  but 
no  purses  or  prizes  were  contested  for  and  no  betting 
was  done  on  the  results.  More  than  a  thousand  people 
attended,  and  $700  was  the  amount  realized  and  turned 
over  to  Mr.  Zibbell.  All  the  participants  tendered 
their  services  free  and  everybody  paid  at  the  gate. 
The  most  remarkable  thing  in  connection  with  the 
benefit  was  the  fact  that  the  beneficiary  was  able  to 
be  present.  Although  the  accident  occurred  but  ten 
days  previous,  and  he  had  one  leg,  one  arm  and  the 
other  hand  amputated,  was  bruised  and  lacerated 
about  the  body,  and  his  remaining  leg  broken,  yet  he 
was  able  to  be  put  into  a  large  automobile  by  his 
physician  and  attendants  and  taken  to  the  track 
where  he  was  cheered  by  the  crowd,  and  bowed  his 
acknowledgements.  Not  one  person  in  a  hundred 
would  have  survived  the  shock  and  terrible  injuries 
he  received,  yet  his  splendid  physique,  perfect  health 
and  fine  condition  enabled  him  to  withstand  it.  He 
never  even  lost  consciousness  at  the  time  of  the 
accident,  but  mangled  as  he  was  managed  to  crawj 
out  from  under  the  car  and  talk  to  those  who  came  to 
his  aid,  his  principal  thoughts  being  of  his  companion 
Blaine  McMahan,  who  was  killed.  The  wonderful 
grit  and  endurance  of  young  Zibbell  are  a  marvel  to 
the  physicians  and  everybody  acquainted  with  his 
condition  after  the  carB  had  run  over  him.  He  will 
be  brought  to  his  home  in  San  Francisco  in  a  few 
days. 

When  the  races  were  called,  Mf.  C.  A  Durfee  was 
in  the  stand  as  starter,  and  the  judges  were  George  L. 
Warlow,  M.  L.  Woy  and  E.  P.  Heald;  the  timers,  J- 
R.  Albertson,  John  Lane  and  James  Irvin.  All  the 
events  were  single  heats. 

The  first  heat  was  between  the  pacers  Miss  Winn, 
Ring  Rose,  Loganette  and  Norda.  The  three  first 
named  finished  noses  apart  in  2:12}. 

Charlie  T.,  Satin  Royal,  H.  D.  B.  and  Mabel  C. 
made  a  nice  contest.  Satin  Royal  was  far  behind  at 
the  finish,  while  H.  D.  B.  finished  first,  his  head  in 
front  of  Mabel  C.  who  had  her  nose  slightly  in  front 
of  Charlie  T.  in  2:14}. 

Oro  Belmont  finished  a  length  in  the  lead  of  Wild 
Bell  in  the  next  contest,  Dew  Drop  being  the  other 
starter.     The  time  was  2:21. 

Bellemont,  the  three-year-old  filly  by  Zombro,  and 
the  three-year-old  Ambush  by  Zolock  worked  a  heat. 
It  was  tfery  close  to  the  stretch  where  Ambush  broke 
and  Bellemont  was  first  to  the  wire  in  2:20}. 

Prince  McKinney,  the  two-year-old  ia  Al  Mc- 
Donald's string,  trotted  a  very  creditable  mile  in 
2:29}  against  F.  E.  Wright's  Lijero  that  had  the  heat 
won  but  broke  in  the  stretch. 

Dr.  W.  and  Bessie  Barnes  were  the  starters  in  the 
next  race.  Bessie  Barnes  made  two  breaks  and  Dr. 
W.  finished  the  mile  pulled  up  in  2:23. 

The  Donna,  Marty  McKay's  mare,  was  driven  an 
exhibition  half  in  1:02,  and  Petigru  trotted  a  quarter 
in  32  seconds. 

Elmont,  Selda  and  Lady  R.  trotted  a  mile  and 
finished  in  the  order  named  in  2:18}. 

The  mule  races  were  the  principal  events  of  the 
day.  The  first  was  a  match  race  between  C  R.Cook's 
Maud  and  Dick  Roberts'  Bell.  Cook  won  and  wag 
presented  with  a  loving  cup.  It  was  about  fcur  feet 
in  height,  of  tin,  and  contained  an  armful  of  hay.  It 
was  the  only  prize  of  the  day. 

There  were  five  starters  in  the  other  mule  race. 
"Sky "Hess won  with  his  entry,  Cook  being  6econd  and 
Roberts  third.    There  was  lots  of  fun  in  this  event. 

A  Shetland  pony  race  of  a  quarter  of  a  mile  ended 
the  program.  Bob  Kunde's  two  entries  were  in  har- 
ness while  Loui9  Baehant's  "Bob"  and  Middleton's 
pony  each  carried  a  rider.  The  start  was  made|on 
even  terms,  nevertheless,  and  to  the  surprise  of  the 
spectators  one  of  the  harness  ponies  finished  ahead. 
It  was  Knude's  'Billy  Koote."  Baehant's  pony  came 
second  and  Middleton's  third. 


Among  the  horses  trained  in  California  last  winter 
that  took  new  records  at  the  Windsor  meeting  last 
week  were  Josie  by  Glenelg  (sister  to  Billy  Red  2:10) 
who  reduced  her  record  to  2:09}  and  won  the  2:12 
pace.  Danube  by  Direcbo,  that  won  the  2:17  trot  in 
straight  heats  and  took  a  mark  of  2:13},  and  Bolivar 
by  Wayland  W.  that  won  the  2:17  pace,  getting  a  new 
record  of  2:11}  in  the  second  heat.  All  these  horses 
are  in  the  Butler  string  and  were  driven  by  Chas.  De 
Ryder.  The  California  bred  mare,  Zephyr  2:11  by 
Zombro,  won  the  2:11  trot  in  straight  heats  on  the 
last  day  of  the  meeting,  in  the  good  time  of  2:121, 
2:12J  and  2:12},  with  Mack  Mack  second  in  eaoh  heat. 
Zephyr  is  in  Ed  Geer's  string.

Every  horseman  that  has  seen  the  new   track   at 
Sacramento,  predicts  it  will  be  a  fast  one. 


Five  California  horses  started  on  the  opening  day 
of  the  Detroit  meeting  and  hone  got  any  money.  This 
baie-ord.  -    ': 

The  fastest  trotter  of  the  year  up  to  Thursday  of 
this  week  is  Dr.  Strong  2:06,  and  Sadie  Mac  is  only  a 
fraction  of  a  second  behind  him. 


The  horses  of  W.  A.  Clark,  Jr.,  are  at  Raadvil'e.  in 
charge  of  Trainer  Ted  Hayes,  who  is  said  to  be  quite 
seriously  ill  in  a  Boston  hospital. 

The  will  of  the  late  C.  F.  Dunbar  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.. 
provides  that  his  favorite  driving  horse,  Volunteer 
iledium  2:14},  be  pensioned. for  life. 


The  Grand  Circuit  raciDg  will  shift  to  Cleveland 
next  Monday,  and  the  following  week  they  will  be  at 
Buffalo,  where  tbe  $10,000  2:10  trot  will  be  decided. 


W.  J.  Andiews  has  worked  the  trotting  mare  Nora 
McKinney  by  McKinney  better  than  2:14,  with  a  half 
in  1:041.    She  is  sound  and  has  a  great  flight  of  speed. 


The  address  Of  Secretary  E.  D.  Neff,  of  the  Southern 
California  Horse  Show  Association,  is  Pasadena,  Cali- 
fornia, and  not  Riverside  as  has  been  erroneously 
stated.  

Clarence  Day,  who  has  been  at  Concord  all  spring 
with  his  stallion,  Dictatus  2:17,  has  returned  to  his 
home  in  Alameda.  Dictatus  made  a  good  season  at 
Concord.  

Sister  Colette  has  worked  a  mile  in  2:12},  last  half  in 
2:05},  last  quarter  in  31 }  seconds.  She  is  a  sister  to 
Charley  Herr  2:07  arid  is  in  David  Cahill's  stable  at 
Lexington. 

The  time  by  quarters  in  the  race  at  Philadelphia, 
last  week,  when  Tiverton  beat  Sweet  Marie,  was  as 
follows:  First  beat  :30},  1:02,  1:38,  2:10*.  Second  heat 
:31},  1:03,  l:i6,  2:07}.  

The  2:17  trot  at  Fresno,  won  by  What  Is  It,  was 
the  heaviest. betting  race  the  circuit  has  furnished 
thus  far.  Some  three  or  four  thousand  dollarschanged 
hands  on  the  result. 

Read  the  advertisement  of  the  Arizona  Territorial 
Fair  and  race  meeting  in  our  business  columns.  There 
are  a  number  of  $1000  purses  that  should  be  easy 
money  for  California  horses. 


Mamie  R.  (2)  2:15}  is  not  doing  as  well  as  was  ex- 
pected when  she  was  taken  East.  She  was  distanced 
in  a  heat  in  2:133  a'  Windsor,  a  rate  of  speed  that 
would  not  have  beaten  her  to  the  wire  last  year. 


After  Cuate  2:18  was  withdrawn  from  the  2:17  trot 
at  Fresno  on  account  of  sickness  he  became  a  very 
sick  horse,  suffering  from  impaction  of  the  bowelB, 
and  on  Tuesday  last,  the  day  bis  owner,  C.  A.  Durfee, 
loft  Fresno  he  did  not  think  the  McKinney  gelding 
would  live. 


Arner  2:17}  is  back  at  Pleasanton  after  a  prosperous 
and  successful  season  at  Chico.  The  full  brother  to 
Diablo  never  looked  better,  and  Barney  Simpson  may 
conclude  to  lower  his  record  a  little  before  tbe  winter 
rains  set  in.  A  mark  of  2:10  is  not  beyond  Arner's 
capabilities. 

Starting  payments  are  due  August  7th  on  tbe  two- 
year-olds  and  three-year-olds  that  are  to  start  this 
year  in  those  divisions  of  the  Pacific  Breeders  Futur- 
ity. See  the  advertisement.  These  stakes  will  be 
decided  at  the  Santa  Rosa  meeting  which  opens 
August  16th.  

The  new  record  of  2:09}  made  by  the  mare  Josie  at 
the  Windsor  meeting  made  her  dam.  Bunella  by 
Ingraham,  the  dam  of  two  2:10  pacers,  Billy  Red  2:10 
being  a  full  brother  to  Josie.  At  Detroit  on  Thurs- 
day of  this  week  Josie  reduced  her  record  to  2:08}  in 
the  third  heat. 

A  correspondent  at  Honolulu  sends  us  an  interesting 
letter  hut  fails  to  sign  his  name.  We  would  be  pleased 
to  publish  the  same,  but  cannot  violate  our  rule  in 
regard  to  uns'gned  communications.  Will  the  writer 
please  send  us  his  name,  not  for  publication,  however, 
unless  he  so  desires. 

It  is  told  in  and  about  Pleasanton  that  tbe  finest 
foal  by  Searchlight  2:03}  is  the  one  following  Captain 
Ford  Thomas'  McKinney  mare.  The  mare  herself  is 
one  of  the  handsomest  animals  in  the  State,  and  her 
colt  by  Searchlight  is  endowed  with  all  the  good  looks 
of  both  its  parents.  This  mare  was  bred  to  Strathway 
this  year  and  is  in  foal 


Mr.  Billings  drove  Lou  Dillon  a  mile  in  2:06}  and 
Major  Delmar  a  miie  in  2:05}  at  Cleveland  a  week  ago 
last  Saturday.  Tom  Axworthy  stepped  in  2:07.1, 
Morning  Star  stepped  in '2:06}.  They  were  all  to 
wagon. 

The  pacing  race  arranged  some  time  ago  between 
Audubon  Boy  and  Ecstatic  will  have  an  added  starter 
in  Belle  Mac.  The  race  is  said  to  be  for  $5000  a  corner, 
winoer  takes  all.  The  race  will  be  paced  August  18 
atReadville.  

Had  some  track  owner  been  sufficiently  enterpris- 
ing to  advertise  a  meeting  at  6ome  convenient  point 
between  the  close  of  the  Fresno  and  the  opening  of 
the  Santa  Rosa  meetings,  he  would  have  secured  a 
good  list  of  entries  ! 

John  Quinn  and  John  Green  were  the  first  horse- 
men to  reach  Santa  Rosa  with  their  strings  after  the 
Fresno  meeting,  arriving  there  last  Tuesday  morning. 
By  tho  last  of  this  week  the  stalls  will  nearly  ail  be 
full.     The  Santa  Rosa  track  is  in  fine  Bhape. 

■  >  farmer  and  breeder  should  make  an  effort  to 
vlhit  I. lie  California  State  Fair  this  year.  The  display 
of  I've  stock  shown  will  bo  one  of  the  best  ever  held, 
and  will  be  exhibited  to  muoh  better  advantage  than 
ever  before.    The  fair  will  open  September  2d. 

Wo  received  a  long  communication  from  Pleasanton 
this  week  which  we  cannot  publish  as  the  name  of  the 
wr.ter  was  not  affixed.  If  'Itailblrd"  will  send  ub  his 
name  (not  for  publication  but  simply  to  show  bis  good 
faith)  wo  will  bo  ploased  to   print  the  communication. 


Marty  McKay's  dun  mare  The  Donna  by  Athadon 
worked  a  great  mile  at  the  Fresno  track  one  morning 
during  the  meeting  last  week.  She  turned  tbe  track 
in  2:08,  several  watches  catching  the  mile  in  2;07}. 
The  Donna  paced  this  mile  very  handily  and  the 
opinion  is  general  among  horsemen  that  she  will  do  to 
start  in  almost  any  class  next  year. 


It  was  not  Millard  Sanders  who  drove  Angle  to 
victory  in  the  M.  &  M.  at  Detroit  but  the  well  known 
Cleveland  trainer,  George  Saunders,  who  purchased 
the  mare  for  Mr.  C.  Morris  of  Cleveland  and  trained 
her  for  this  big  event.  Angle  is  a  mare  of  wonderful 
speed  and  worked  a  mile  in  2:06}  last  year  behind  a 
wind  shield,  but  is  somewhat  flighty. 


The  three-year-old  colt  Bystander  by  Zolock  was 
distanced  in  the  first  heat  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce Stake  at  Detroit,  and  met  tbe  same  fate  in  the 
Consolation  end  of  the  stake.  It  is  asking  a  little  too 
much  of  a  good  three-year-old  to  expect  him  to  win 
money  in  a  stake  that  attracts  such  a  olass  of  aged 
horseB  as  is  always  entered  in  theC.  of  C.

of  the  Fresno  meeting,  reducing  his  record  to  2:10},  is 
owned  by  Director  I.  L.  Borden  of  tbe  PC.  T.  H.  B.  A. 
and  iB  out  of  his  mare  Allie  Cresco  2:1 3}  by  Cresco,  son 
of  Strath  more.  Cresco  Wilkes  is  a  four-year-old.  He 
took  a  record  of  2:17  at  the  State  Fair  last  year  in  the 
Occident  Stanford  pace. 


The  fifteen-year-old  stallion  Holly  Woodnut  2:20}, 
owned  by  E.  B.  Long  of  the  Harlem  Valley  Stock 
Farm,  White  Plains,  N.  Y.,  dropped  dead  from  heart 
disease  In  a  pasture  on  the  farm  one  day  last  week. 
He  was  sired  bv  Woodnut  2:16},  son  of  Nutwood  2:18}; 
dam  Charm  (dam  of  eight  standard  porformers)  by 
Santa  Claus  2:17},  son  of  Strathmore.  Holly  Wood- 
nut was  the  sire  of  one  trotter,  Ned  H.  Woodnut  2:18}. 


Mr.  A.  B.  Rodman,  of  Woodland,  has  purchased  all 
the  horses  in  training  owned  by  the  late  R.  H.  Nason, 
who  died  recently  at  that  place.  The  horses  pur- 
chased are  Tubelina,  a  four-year-old  daughter  of 
Tuberose;  a  two-year-old  stallion  by  Diablo  out  of 
Mischief,  the  dam  of  Tuberose;  a  two-year-old  filly  by 
Falrose,  out  of  a  mare  by  Tuberose,  and  Mischief 
2:22},  dam  of  Tuberose2:25},  and  other  promising  ones. 


W.  P.  Murray's  trotting  mare  Italia  2:23}  by  Zom- 
bro,  is  working  good.  She  is  in  Doc  Tanner's  stable 
and  haB  been  a  mile  in  2:16}.  She  acts  better  than 
she  ever  has  and  iB  about  ready  for  a  mile  around 
2:10  Those  who  have  noticed  her  in  her  work  are 
unanimous  in  the  opinion  that  6he  is  better  now  tban 
at  any  time  since  Mr.  Murray  brought  her  from  Cali- 
fornia. She  will  probably  go  into  Vance  Nuckols' 
stable  to  be  raced  later  in  the  season. 


Frank  Turner  stepped  his  young  Sidney  Dillons 
again  at  Santa  Rosa  last  week  and  here  are  the  re- 
sults. Carlocita,  three-year-old  pacer,  mile  in  2:20}, 
half  in  1:05},  quarter  in  :31}.  Guy  Dillon,  three-year- 
old  trotter,  mile  in  2:34,  half  in  1:15,  quarter  in  :33. 
Carrie  Dillon,  two-year  old  pacer,  mile  in  2:26,  last 
quarter  in  34  seconds.  Kate  Dillon,  two-year-old  pacer 
half  in  1:08.  Henry  Parrity  beat  2:30  with  his  two- 
year  old  Bravo  Dillon,  witti  the  last  half  in  1:11  and 
the  last  quarter  In  35  Beconds. 


The  Hulda  Stables  on  Fell  street,  opposite  the  Park 
pan  handle,  is  now  under  the  management  of  John 
Martin,  who  is  making  it  tbe  most  popular  boarding 
stable  in  tbe  city.  The  location  cannot  be  surpassed 
for  those  who  indulge  in  park  driving,  as  no  car  tracks 
have  to  be  crossed  to  reach  the  park  and  ocean  drives. 
Among  the  fast  roadsters  stabled  there  now  are  Ero6- 
mont  by  Eros  that  has  shown  a  mile  In  2:15},  Mulcaby 
by  Dexter  Prince  with  a  trial  of  2:12},  John  D  ,  a 
green  trotter,  that  has  beaten  2:25  in  his  work  and 
Billy  G  with  a  mark  of  2:19}.  The  famous  saddle 
horse  Kentucky  Prince,  one  of  the  best  paited  horses 
on  the  Coast,  is  also  stabled  there.  Mr.  Martin  takes 
a  pride  in  keeping  all  the  horses  under  his  care  in 
perfect  order. 


The  Sonoma  County  Driving  Club  was  permanently 
organized  at  Santa  Rosa  last  week  with  80  charter

200  is  predicted  for  it  within  a  month. 


Henry  Delaney  having  decided  not  to  enter  Zolcck. 
2:05}  in  the  free-for-all  pace  at  the  California  State 
Fair  meeting  this  year,  that  race  should  result  in  one 
of  the  greatest  contests  seen  on  this  Coast  for  years 
While  Zolock  outclasses  the  other  pacers  on  the 
Coast,  there  are  four  or  five  that  can  beat  2:07  tbat 
will  enter,  and  that  are  so  evenly  matched  that  the 
winner  will  be  very  hard  to  pick  The  State  Fair 
Directors  are  negotiating  with  Mr.  Delaney  for  an  ex- 
hibition mile  by  biB  great  horse,  and  there  will  be  a 
big  crowd  to  see  him  start  against  time. 


It  is  surmised  that  after  the  close  of  the  Japanese- 
Russian  war  there  may  be  quite  a  demand  for  Ameri- 
can-bred general  purpose  horses  in  those  two  coun- 
tries. The  demand  lr  Japan  is  likely  to  be  for  horseB 
not  above  the  medium  in  size,  except,  perhaps,  such 
as  the  Japanese  may  want  for  breeding  purposes. 
They  are  an  enterprising,  progressive  class  of  peopJe 
there,  and  close  imitators  of  American  methods,  so 
that  it  is  not  improbable  that  they  may  engage  quite 
extensively  in  the  breeding  of  high-class  trotting 
stock  as  well  as  that  for  cavalry  and  general  purpose 
use.  

The  ranks  of  the  sons  of  George  WilkeB  2:22,  are 
gradually  depleting.  The  latest  to  join  the  great 
majo  ity  is  Erie  Wilkes,  really  one  of  the  least  success- 
ful of  the  get  of  his  noted  sire  as  a  progenitor  of  speed . 
Heiscredited  with  only  four  standard  performers, 
the  fastest  beiDg  Polar  Wilkes,  p,  2:11},  and  Turco,  p, 
2:12.  But  two  of  his  sons  have  sired  speed,  and  two  of 
his  daughters  have  each  produced  one.  It  was  not 
exactly  lack  of  opportunity,  either,  which  accounts 
for  his  poor  showing,  be  was  a  member  of  the  Jewett 
farm  stallions  for  a  number  of  years  He  waB  23  years 
old.  George  Wilkes  was  25  years  old  when  he  got 
Erie  Wilkes.    Old  age  did  not  avail  much  in  this  case. 


We  regret  to  learn  that  Mr.  T.  J.  Weeks,  ono  of  the 
pioneer  residents  and  horse  breeders  of  Santa  Cruz, 
died  a  few  weeks  ago  at  bis  home  there  on  the  shores 
of  the  Pacific.  Mr.  Weeks  bred  and  owned  a  number 
of  good  horses,  among  others  tbat  fast  mare  Ethel 
Downs  2: 10,  well  known  to  all  horsemen  in  this  State. 
He  was  one  of  the  earliest  residents  of  the  now  thriv- 
ing city  of  Santa  Cruz,  and  owned  a  very  handsome 
residence  which  occupied  a  commanding  site  on  a 
hill  close  to  the  seashore  and  overlooking  the  city. 
He  was  a  plain,  unassuming  gentleman,  whose  friends 
were  as  numerousas  h's  acquaintances,  and  washighly 
respected  and  honored  for  his  sterling  virtues  and  up- 
right life.  

An  eastern  exchange  sayB:  "Mr.  Gee.  E.  Lattimer, 
of  Buffalo,  owns  a  full  brother  to  The  Abbott  2:03}, 
ex-champion  trotter.  The  name  of  the  young  trotter 
is  The  Mitre  Beaver.  Mr.  Lattimer  owns  one  of  the 
most  extensiveprivatestables  in  Buffalo,  and  is  classed 
among  tbe  crack  amateur  reinsmen  of  the  country. 
He  owns  Charley  Hayt  2:06},  Topsy  2:09}  and  others. 
At  the  Buffalo  track,  one  morning  last  week,  Charley 
Hayt  2:06}  and  Captain  Derby  2:16}  worked  a  mile 
together  in  2:14},  last  half  in  1:04},  covering  the  third 
quarter  in  31  seconds.  Charley  Hayt  gives  every 
promise  of  getting  into  form  to  beat  his  record  this 
year,  and  Captain  Derby,  unless  all  Bigns  fail,  will 
take  a  record  around  2:07  if  all  °oes  well  with  him. 
He  was  bred  at  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  and  is  by 
Charles  Derby,  out  of  Economy  2:30  by  Echo." 


The  former  Buffalo  trainer,  George  Bodimer,  who 
hss  been  in  Austria  for  several  years,  has  opened  the 
racing  season  there  most  successfully  this  year.  He 
has  captured  tbe  world's  record  for  Austrian  bred 
trotters  with  the  filly  Ama  Z  ,  and  with  the  four-year- 
old  colt  Lord  Revelstoke  by  Bingen,  that  he  bought 
in  this  country  last  fall  be  won  the  great  event  of  the 
Vienna  spring  meeting,  the  free-for-all  heat  race,  re- 
ducing the  chestnut  colt'B  record  from  2:12}  to  2:12} 
in  the  first  heat  of  his  race  and  again  to  2:12}  in  the 
last  heat.  Lots  of  good  judgeB  thought  Lord  Revel- 
stoke would  never  lower  his  record  after  his  scme- 
what  unsatisfactory  campaign  of  last  season.  Ama  Z  , 
Bodimer's  champion  Austrian  bred  trotter,  Is  from 
American  bred  parents,  as  she  was  sired  by  Caid  2:07}, 
dam  Charmer,  dam  of  Shadow  Chimes  2:17}  by  Mam- 
brion  King.  Both  her  sire  and  dam  are  owned  by 
Count  Poticki,  Bodimer's  employer,  and  to  the  Buffalo 
boy  belongs  the  credit  of  developing  her. 


The  affection  displayed  for  his  owner  by  Willard 
Zibbell's  horse,  Adam  G.  2:14},  was  truly  touching 
when  the  handsome  trotter  was  led  out  for  the 
maimed  and  crippled  young  man  to  look  at  on  the 
day  of  the  benefit  tendered  Mr.  Zibbell  at  tbe  Fresno 
track.  As  our  readers  know  Willard  lost  both  hands, 
an  arm  and  a  leg  in  the  frightful  accident  at  Fresno, 
July  12th,  and  his  marvelous  vitality  enabled  him  to 
be  taken  to  the  .track  eleven  days  after,  when  the 
horsemen  tendered  him  a  benefit.  He  was  conveyed 
to  the  track  in  Dr.  Maupins'  automobile,  and  his 
favorite  horse  was  led  out  for  his  inspection.  The 
young  man  spoke  to  him,  when  Adam  G.  immediately 
pricked  up  his  ears,  walked  up  to  the  vehicle  and 
pressed  his  soft  muzzle  against  his  owner's  cheek.  It 
was  an  affecting  scene,  and  tbe  brave  young  man  who 
never  quailed  at  all  tbe  horrible  mangling  be  had 
received,  was  visibly  affected  because  he  could  not 
return  the  caress  of  his  trotter  with  tbe  pat  of  the 
hand  that  the  horse  evidently  expected .

M  JOTTINGS.  ffi 


THE  RECORDS  MADE  on  the  California  circuit 
thus  far,  have  attracted  the  attention  of  horse- 
men all  over  the  country,  and  one  Eastern  turf  writer 
remarks  that  "the  California  owners  who  have  been 
winning  at  Los  Angeles  and  Fresno  probably  now 
wish  they  had  entered  on  the  Grand  Circuit."  This 
is  a  recognition  of  a  fact  which  cannot  he  disputed, 
that  many  of  the  race  winners  on  the  Coast  this  sea- 
son have  shown  sufficient  calibre  to  warrant  the  belief 
that  they  could  win  in  their  classes  anywhere.  No 
pacer  in  the  country  has  shown  four  such  miles  to  this 
date  as  the  2:06  and  2:06}  at  Los  Angeles  and  two  heats 
in  2:05}  at  Fresno  which  were  paced  by  Zolock.  That 
this  son  of  McKinney  could  get  his  share  of  the  money 
in  the  big  ring  over  East  is  not  for  one  moment 
doubted  by  those  who  have  seen  him  race  this  year, 
and  a  record  of  2:02  or  better  is  certainly  within  his 
reach.  No  stronger  finisher  ever  raced  to  the  wire, 
and  he  can  go  as  many  heats  to  his  limit  as  the  next 
horse.  

While  there  is  nothing  but  praise  to  be  said  of  Zo- 
lock, the  horse  that  drove  him  out  in  2:05}  the  first 
heat  at  Fresno  is  al60  worthy  of  a  few  lines  of  com- 
mendation. This  horse  was  the  chestnut  gelding 
Edwin  S.  2:08,  owned  by  Mr.  E.  A.  Servis  of  Durham, 
Butte  county.  In  that  memorable  heat  Edwin  S.  did 
not  get  off  well  and  was  interfered  with  at  the  first 
turn,  which  necessitated  his  being  taken  back  and 
around  the  other  horses.  He  had  to  take  the  over- 
land route  the  first  quarter  of  a  mile,  but  by  the  time 
the  half  was  reached  he  was  straightened  away  and 
from  the  head  of  the  stretch  the  struggle  between 
him  and  Zolock  will  long  be  remembered  by  those  who 
Baw  it.  It  was  such  an  exciting  finish  that  the  crowd 
in  the  grand  stand  rose  and  cheered  the  contestants, 
and  Edwin  was  only  beaten  a  head  in  one  of  theclosest 
and  best  contests  ever  seen.  His  mile  was  doubtless 
as  good  or  better  than  2:05,  and  many  are  of  the 
opinion  it  was  as  good  as  2:044.  It  is  a  great  pity  the 
fastest  class  made  for  pacers  at  the  Santa  Rosa  meet- 
ing was  the  2:09  class,  as  that  barred  the  entry  of 
Edwin  S.,  and  he  was  the  one  that  could  doubtless 
have  made  Zolock  lower  his  Fresno  record  to  win. 


In  this  connection  it  will  be  in  order  at  this  time  to 
correct  a  slight  mistake  In  the  previous  published 
accounts  of  the  breeding  of  Edwin  S.  He  is  by  the 
i  registered  stallion  Doctor  Hicks  23103,  son  of  Durfee 
11256  and  Gazelle  by  Buccaneer.  His  dam  has  hereto- 
fore been  erroneously  given  us  by  La  Harpe  2:17}, 
son  of  Egmont.  She  was  by  a  horBe  called  La  Harpe, 
t  is  true,  but  the  son  of  Egmont  is  not  the  one.  La 
Harpe,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Edwin  S  ,  was  bred  by  the 
late  Dr.  Hicks,  and  was  a  bronze  bay  horse,  with  two 
iwhite  stockings  behind,  and  star,  weighed  close  to 
1200  pounds  and  stood  10  hands.  He  was  foaled  in 
1879,  and  sired  by  Fame,  a  son  of  Belmont  64,  the  sire 
of  Nutwood.  La  Harpe's  dam  was  Prairie  Bird  2:28J, 
the  dam  of  Prompter,  and  was  by  Flaxtail. 

If  California  had  a  circuit  of  eight  or  ten  weeks 
harness  racing  every  summer  it  would  not  be  a  year 
until  2:05  would  be  equalled  or  beaten  every  year  in 
the  pacing  events,  and  three  or  four  new  2:10  tro'.ting 
records  would  be  made  annually.  This  would  be  of 
vast  value  to  the  breeding  industry  and  add  many 
dollars  to  the  wealth  of  the  State.  Harness 
racing  is  the  sport  of  the  masses  of  horse  owners 
and  breeders.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the 
speculative  portion  of  the  community  prefers  the  run- 
ners, harness  racing  is  as  popular  as  ever.  Meetings 
are  well  attended  wherever  they  are  given  and  if 
properly  managed  do  not  show  a  loss.  In  the  Eastern 
and  Middle  states  thousands  of  harness  meetings  are 
held  annually.  Last  week's  Western  Horseman,  pub- 
lished in  Indianapolis,  calls  attention  to  the  fact  that 
the  issue  contains  the  advertisements  of  over  one 
hundred  and  thirty  harness  race  meetings.  The 
popularity  of  the  Grand  Circuit  is  increasing  every 
year,  and  a  big  profitable  price  can  be  obtained  for  a 
good  trotter  or  pacer  with  race  winning  speed  or  first 
class  road  qualities.  People  who  are  always  saying 
that  harness  racing  is  getting  unpopular  don't  know 
what  they  are  talking  about.  It  is  just  as  popular  a 
sport  and  more  so  than  it  ever  was.  The  lack  of 
meetings  is  no  evidence  of  its  unpopularity,  but  only 
evidence  that  the  owners  of  tracks  are  not  enterprising. 


The  opening  of  the  Grand  Circuit  at  Detroit  has 
been  very  successful,  and  some  good  racing  has  been 
done  under  the  every-heat-a-race  plan.  Up  to  and 
including  Thursday's  races  thirty-Bix  heat6  had  been 
!  trotted  or  paced  iu  the  twelve  races  decided,  and  not 
one  heat  was  as  slow  as  2:15.  No  less  than  26  of  these 
heats  were  in  2:10  or  better,  the  fastest  pacing  heat 


being  Locanda's  2:05  and  the  fastest  trotting  heat' 
Dr.  Strong's  2:06.  The  California  horses  have  not 
been  taking  as  many  first  moneys  as  usual,  which  is 
not  surprising  to  horsemen  here  on  the  coast  as  the 
class  of  horses  starting  at  the  early  meetings  this 
year  is  not  quite  up  to  our  usual  consignment  to  the 
Grand  Circuit  opening.  Later  in  the  year  we  expect 
quite  a  number  of  new  fast  performers  from  California 
will  be  drawing  down"  the  big  end  of  many  Grand 
Circuit  purses;

Here's  a  Chance  for  Rockaway. 

Mr.  R.  A.  Rouse  of  Danville,  Illinois,  and  his  trainer 
Geo.  J.  Foster,  at  the  Indianapolis  track,  have 
authorized  the  statement  that  they  desire  to  match 
the  two-year-old  chestnut  pacing  filly  by  John  R. 
Gentry  2:00J,  dam  Onoqua  2:08}  by  Keeler,  against 
any  pacing  two-year-old  In  the  world,  either  sex,  mile 
heats,  best  two  in  three,  for  $2500  a  side,  $100u  a  side 
to  go  up  when  match  is  made,  81000  in  thirty  days 
thereafter,  and  $500  the  evening  before  the  race,  "play 
or  pay, "  from  start  to  finish,  the  race  to  take  place 
over  the  Columbus  or  Cincinnati  track,  at  the  Grand 
Circuit  meeting,  or  at  Lexington  or  Memphis,  during 
the  fall  trots,  the  accepting  party  to  have  the  naming 
of  which  of  these  tracks.  This  announcement  was 
made  in  the  last  isBue  of  the  Western  Horseman  Here 
Is  a  chance  for  the  California  pacer  Rockaway  that 
took  a  record  of  2:15}  at  Los  Angeles  recently  to  get  a 
match,  and  if  it  were  made  considerable  California 
money  would  be  put  up  that  he  would  win. 


The  Fourth  of  July  was  celebrated  at  Hilo,  Hawaii, 
by  a  good  program  of  racing,  and  although  it  rained 
and  the  track  was  very  muddy  the  crowd  was  large 
and  well  pleased  with  the  day's  spurt. 

The  main  event  on  the  program,  which  was  a  race 
at  a  mile  and  a  quarter  between  The  Fretter,"  Bruner 
and  Merrills  Force,  had  to  be  declared  off  on  account 
of  an  accident  to  The  Fretter,  whose  leg  was  injured' 
so  that  he  was  very  lame.  The  only  harness  event 
was  won  by  the  old  pacer  John  D.  that  was  racing 
ten  or  twelve  years  ago  at  San  Jose  under  the  name  of 
Tony.     The  summary  of  the  races  is  as  follows: 

One  mile-Egyptian  Princess  won,  G.  H.  R.  second, 
Merrills  Force  third.     Time,  1:54 

•Six  furlongs— Antidote  won,   If  Not  second,    Why 
Not  third.    Time,  1:35. 

Four  and  a  half  furlongs— Keanakolu  won,  Nigger 
second,  Sweet  Pea  third.     Time,  :59J.  - 

Four  furlongs-G  H.  R.  won,  Antidote  second,  If 
Not  third.    Time,  :55}. 

One  mile— Egyptian  PrinceBB  won,  Bruner  second, 
Dixie  Land  third.     Time,  1:53. 

Five  and  a  half  furlongs— Bruner  won,  Egyptian 
Princess  second,  So  So  third.     Time,  1:224. 

Pacing,  best  two  in  three— John  D'.  (formerly  Tony) 
won  first  and  third  heats.  Second  heat  was  a  dead 
heat  between  John  D.  and  Ned  McGowan.  Nazon 
was  distanced  in  first  heat.    Time— 2:47,  2:58,  2:55. 


Racing  at  Wailuku,  Maui. 

A  very  successful  Fourth  of  July  meeting  was  held 
at  Wailuku  which  is  on  Maui,  one  of  the  Hawaiian 
Islands.     The  results  were: 

Half-mile  dash— Racery,  won;  Gefaldine  S.,  second. 

Trotting  and  pacing,  free-for-all— Cyclone,  won. 

Mile  dash— Racine  Murphy,  won;  Notice,  second.

There  will  be  another  meeting  at  Wailuku  on 
August  12.

others,  i9  there  on  a  visit  and  may  buy  Bruner  and 
bring  him  to  the  Coast.  The  horse  was  shipped  there 
with  a  consignment  of  hack  horses  and  has  won  races 
at  all  kinds  of  distances. 


Third  Contest  lor  the  Cleveland  Cup. 


The  Directors  of  the  League  of  Amateur  Driving 
Clubs  have  awarded  to  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club 
of  Cleveland  the  days  of  August  31st  and  September 
1st  on  which  to  bold  their  Inter-City  Matinee.  At 
this  time  the  third  contest  for  the  $5000  Cleveland 
Gold  Cup  (Amateur  Drivers'  Challenge  Trophy),  will 
beheld.  The  Cleveland  Club  has  won  this  cup  twice 
and  should  they  >vin  it  again  this  year  it  will  pass  into 
their  possession  permanently.  Any  amateur  club  of 
recognized  standing  (not  of  necessity  a  member  of  the 
League)  may  challenge  for  this  cup,  and  as  many 
horses  belonging  to  one  club  as  is  desired  are  eligible 
to  start,  though  no  owner  may  start  more  than  one 
horse.  Horses  to  be  eligible  to  start  for  this  cup  must 
have  started  in  at  least  two  regular  matinees  during 
the  year,  and  must  not  have  participated  in  public 
racing  for  money  for  thirty  days  prior  to  the  holding 
of  this  race.  Entries  for  this  cup  race  will  close  Mon- 
day, August  31st.  The  Cleveland  Club  will  also  offer 
a  cup  for  free-to-all  pacers,  entries  for  which  will  close 
on  the  same  day.  There  are  no  conditions  governing 
entries  for  this  cup  except  that  it  is  open  only  for 
horses  owned  by  members  of  those  clubs  in  member- 
ship with  the  League  of  Amateur  Driving  Clubs. 


That  wonderful  little  mare,  The  Broncho,  paced 
two  great  heats  over  the  Chicago  half. mile  track, 
July  15.  There  was  but  one  other  starter  in  the  free- 
for-all  pace,  the  mare  Citation.  Owing  to  Citation 
being  hitched  too  close  to  the  sulky,  which  made  her 
hit  her  hocks,  she  could  not  show  any  speed,  so  The 
Broncho  won  the  first  heat  in  a  jog  in  2:20}.  Citation 
was  hooked  up  all  right  in  the  next  heat  and 
The  Broncho  bad  to  break  the  Illinois  record  to  win. 
She  paced  the  heat  in  2:00^  and  made  the  mile  in  the 
third  heat  in  the  same  time.  No  other  horse  ever 
paced  so  fast  over  an  Illinois  half-mile  track  in  a  race, 
and  Hetty  G.  is  the  only  mare  that  has  beaten  the 
time  on  a  track  of  that  description.

Pertinent  Facts  About  Salmon. 


The  board  of  supervisors  of  San  Benito  county  have 
passed  Ordinance  87,  repealing  all  game  laws  hereto- 
fore enacted  in  the  county.  This  brings  the  county 
under  the  operation  of  the  State  law.  The  open  sea- 
son on  deerln  this  district  was,  previous  to  the  passing 
of  the  repealing  law,  from  August  1  to  October  1. 


[By  J.  P.  Babcock.] 
The  sockeye  salmon  which  are  captured  in  Puget 
Sound  are  enroute  from  the  Pacific  ocean  to  the  head- 
waters of  the  Fraser  river,  and  do  not  enter  any 
stream  in  the  state  of  Washington  which  is  tributary 
to  Puget  Sound,  save  those  which  enter  the  Skagit 
river,  and  those  which  enter  that  river  appear  to  run 
earlier  and  independently  of  those  that  run  to  the 
Fraser  river. 

The  sockeye  which  attempt  to  run  through  Puget 
Sound  were  propagated  in  the  Fraser  river,  and  are 
seeking  to  return  for  the  purpose  of  propagation. 
They  do  not  breed  or  feed  in  Puget  Sound. 

The  run  of  sockeye  of  a  given  year  in  Puget  Sound 
depends  primarily  upon  the  number  which  spawn  in 
the  Fraser  river  the  preceding  year.  For  the  past 
three  years  the  catch  shows  a  steady  and  alarming 
decrease.  This  year's  catch  was  the  smallest  in.  the 
history  of  the  industry.  The  decrease  is  due  to  a 
failure  of  the  fish  to  run  as  abundantly  as  formerly, 
and  not  to  any  fault  or  method  or  lack  of  effort  to 
capture  them. 

The  demand  and  the  price  paid  for-the  fish  during 
the  past  two  years  has  been  greater  than  ever  before. 

Every  channel  of  Puget  Sound  through  which  the 
sockeye  seek  entrance  to  the  Fraser  river  is  lined 
with  stationary  traps.  Every  known  contrivance  by 
which  salmon  can  be  taken  is  permitted  and  used  in 
Puget  Sound.  There  are  no  limitations  as  to  time  or 
method  in  their  taking.  There  are  no  closed  seasons 
during  any  part  of  the  time  the  sockeye  run.  No  law 
has  ever  been  passed  by  the  state  of  Washington  for 
the  protection  of  the  sockeye  in  Puget  Sound.  A 
greater  proportion  of  the  total  number  of  sockeye 
which  seek  entrance  to  the  Fraser  river  through 
Puget  Sound  are  captured  now  than  formerly.  Those 
that  do  escape  p-ss  into  British  waters,  and  cannot 
enter  the  Fraser  river  without  doing  so. 

"In  British  waters  they  cannot  be  fished  for  previous 
to  July  1.  The  law  prohibits  their  being  caught 
there  between  6  a.  m.  of  every  Saturday  and  6  p.  m.  of 
the  following  day,  and  during  the  past  year  they  could 
not  be  fished  for  from  August  25  to  September  15. 
Traps  have  nevei  been  used  in  British  waters  tribu- 
tary to  Puget  Sound  for  the  capture  of  sockeye;  only 
gill  nets  are  permitted  to  be  used.  No  traps,  with 
the  exception  of  those  in  Boundary  Bay,  have  been 
permitted  in  British  waters  until  this  year,  when  two 
traps  were  placed  on  the  south  coast  *of  Vancouver 
Island  in  the  Straits  of  Juan  de  Fuca,  and  thesetraps 
could  not  and  did  not  catch  any  fish  which  escaped 
capture  in  Puget  Sound. 

My  inspection  of  the  entire  spawning  grounds  of  the 
Fraser  watershed  in  each  of  the  last  four  seasons  has 
been  thorough  and  complete.  In  1901,  the  year  of  the 
big  run,  great  numbers  of  sockeye  spawned  in  every 
section,  with  the  exception  of  Quesnel  Lake  district, 
from  which  a  large  number  were  excluded  by  a  dam, 
at  the  outlet  of  the  lake,  which  was  then  provided 
with  an  effective  fishway.  In  each  of  the  last  three 
years  fully  75  per  cent  of  the  same  spawning  beds  were 
almost  barren  of  adult  sockeye,  and  the  remaining 
sections  were  not  abundently  covered  with  them,  and 
their  numbers  have  been  noticeably  less  each  year. 
There  has  not  been  sufficient  ova  deposited  in  the 
Fraser  river  during  the  past  three  years  to  produce  a' 
number  equal  to  the  runs  of  those  years. 

There  were  two  hatcheries  located  on  the  Fraser 
river  prior  to  1901  that  had  an  egg  capacity  of  twenty 
millions,  and  they  were  filled  with  eggs  that  year.  In 
1902,  through  a  failure  of  the  fish  to  reach  the  spawn- 
ing grounds,  the  total  collection  of  eggs  for  these  two 
hatcheries  was  less  than  fourteen  million. 

In  1903  an  additional  hatchery  of  forty  million  egg 
capacity  was  constructed  on  the  Fraser  river,  and  yet 
the  total  number  of  eggs  obtained  at  all  three  hatch- 
eries that  year  was  less  than  fourteen  million. 

This  past  year,  although  a  new  hatchery  was 
established  and  operated,  the  total  collection  of  eggs 
was  25  per  cent  less  than  last  year. 

There  are  hatcherieB  on  the  Fraser  river  that  have 
a  capacity  of  ninety  millions  of  eggs.  The  failure  to 
fill  them  was  due  to  a  scarcity  of  fish  on  the  spawning 
beds,  and  not  to  any  lack  of  intelligent  effort  to  obtain 
eggs. 

My  field  investigations  on  the  Fraser  river  have 
satisfied  me  that  an  abundance  of  young  sockeye,  the 
product  of  the  spawning  of  1901,  passed  down  the 
river  to  the  sea  in  1902  and  1903,  and  that  the  past 
season  the  same  fyke  nets  which  I  placed  in  the  river 
to  trace  this  movement  failed  to  catch  enough  young 
salmon  to  feed  a  bluejay,  which  I  take  to  indicate  that 
there  was  little  or  no  seaward  migration  this  year. 
The  fyke  nets  which  I  had  used  in  the  Wannack  river, 
at  the  head  of  Rivers  Inlet,  this  year  were  set  in  the 
same  manner  as  those  in  the  Fraser  river,  and  caught 
hundreds  of  youngsockeyeday  after  day  for  the  three 
months  they  were  used. 

The  decrease  in  the  catch  of  sockeye  in  Puget  Sound 
and  the  empty  spawning  grounds  iB  attributable  to 
excessive  fishing  in  the  past  and  at  present.  The 
decrease  cannot  be  explained  in  any  other  reasonable 
way.  The  continuance  of  the  present  methods  and 
seasons  in  Puget  Sound  and  British  Columbia  will  re- 
Bult  in  the  extermination  of  the  sookeye  in  the  Fraser 


river.  It  is  not  at  all  probable  TfEat  the  number  of 
fish  would  have  become  so  depleted  if  the  State:  of 
Washington  had  given  them  the  same  measure,  of 
protection  as  that  was  afforded  them  in  British  waters. 
Many  of  the  leading  cannery  companies  on  both  sides 
of  the  line  would  not  now  be  in  the  hands-qf  jreeaiv4rB 
if  the  salmon  had  been  better  protected.  ^AHSne 
canneries  will  be  closed  and  the  fishermen  driven  from 
these  waters  in  the  near  future  if  the  present  excesses 
are  continued.  Such  measures  of  protection  as  would 
have  permitted  an  abundant  number  of.  sockeye  to 
reach  the  spawning  grounds  of  the  Fraser  before  their 
numbers  had  become  so  depleted,  will  net  be  adequate 
now. 

A  sufficient  number  of  sockeye  reached  the  spawn- 
ing grounds  in  1901,  notwithstanding  the  existing 
regulations  in  British  Columbia,  and  without  any 
regulation  in  Washington,  because  the  fish  ran  in 
such  vast  numbers  that  thecanneries  could  not  handle 
all  the  fish  that- the  traps  and  the  fishermen  caught  in 
a  few  hours  each  day.  Consequently,  the  channels  of 
the  Sound  and  the  river  were  not  blocked  all  the  time. 
The  canneries  exhausted  their  supply  of  cans  before 
tharun  was  over,  which  put  a  stop  to  fishing,  and 
permitted  all  the  salmon  that  came  afterwards  to 
ascend  the  river.  The  reverse  of  these  conditions 
have  obtained  for  the  last  three  years,  which  proves 
that  regulations  that  are  adequate  for  the  year  of  the 
"big  run"  will  be  in.  dequate  in  the  three  following 
years  of  poor  runs. 

It  is  a  matter  of  history  that  excessive  fishing  and 
inadequate  regulations  reduce  the  run  of  salmon  in 
the  Sacramento  river.  The  canners  and  fisherman  of 
the  Sacramento  by  their  protests  and  influence  pre- 
vented the  passage  of  adequate  protective  laws  as 
long  as  they  could  make  a  living  by  catching  the 
salmon  in  that  river.  The  salmon  were  finally  eo 
nearly  exterminated  in  the  Sacramento  river  that  the 
canneries  were  closed  and  a  majority  of  the  fishermen 
were  driven  from  the  river;  and  from  excessive  fishing  . 
the  hatcheries  were  unable  to  obtain  sufficient  eggs 
and  were  closed  for  four  years.  An  efficient  protective 
law  was  passed  in  1894  which  closed  the  river  to  fish- 
ing during  the  height  of  the  run,  and  hatching  opera- 
tions were  resumed.  The  hatcheries  produced  fully 
80  per  cent  more  fry  irom  the  eggs  obtained  than 
would  have  resulted  from  natural  methods  of  propa- 
gation. The  run  of  salmon  since  the  passage  of  wise 
laws  and  the  resumption  of  hatchery  operations,  has 
gradually  increased,  slowly  at  first,  but  steadily,  year 
after  year,  and  is  now  as  great  as  it  ever  was. 
Hatchery  after  hatchery  has  been  established  since 
1894  and  this  year  they  were  unable  to  handle  all  the 
eggs  obtainable. 

Mr.  Alexander  T.  Vogelsang,  a  prominent  attorney 
of  San  Francisco,  who  was  for  six  years  the  president 
of  the  Board  of  Fish  Commissioners  of  the  State  of 
California,  wrote  me  on  the  23d  of  last  November  con- 
cerning the  situation  on  the  Sacramento  river,  as 
follows: 

"I  have  read  in  the  Pacific  Fisherman  for  November 
the  statement  of  the  hatchery  affair3  under  your 
jurisdiction  on  the  Fraser  river,  and  am  sorry  to  learn 
that  the  results  at  the  spawn-collecting  stations  are  so 
meagre.  I  notice,  too,  that  the  take  of  eggs  on  the 
Columbia  river  iB  also  very  small.  Of  course,  you 
can't  obtain  eggs  if  the  fish  are  not  permitted  to  ascend 
the  river.  Things  are  very  different  in  California. 
Davis  and  Lambson  think  that  never  in  the  history  of 
the  white  occupation  of  the  State  has  the  run  of 
salmon  been  so  large  as  this  year.  It  has  increased 
regularly  every  year  for  the  past  ten.  t  have  just 
seen  a  letter  from  Lambson  to  the  board  in  which  he 
states  he  is  forced  to  close  the  Mill  Creek  station  on 
account  of  lack  of  room  to  hold  eggs.  He  has  taken 
thirty  million  there,  and  says  he  could  have  taken 
sixty  million  if  he  had  ample  accommodations. 

The  take  of  eggs  at  Battle  Creek  hatchery  has 
passed  the  thirty  million  mark,  and  they  will  reach, 
if  they  do  not  pass,  your  own  mark  of  forty-eight 
million,  at  that  station.  Although  the  capacity  of 
the  Sisson  hatchery  has  been  greatly  enlarged,  Mr. 
Sheiby  fears  he  cannot  handle  all  the  eggs  obtainable. 
Baird  hatchery  has  taken  over  eleven  millions  and 
was  closed  for  lack  of  room.  Contrast  these  conditions 
with  the  years  when  the  latter  was  the  only  hatchery 
on  the  river  and  was  closed  for  four  years  for  lack  of 
eggs.  Undoubtedly  this  is  the  result  of  our  efforts. 
Salmon  are  being  shipped  to  the  markets  today  from 
Clarksburg,  and  they  are  spawning  on  every  riffle 
from  Chico  north.  No  one  has  ever  seen  them  so 
large  or  so  numerous  as  now.  Breeding  from  large 
males  only  has  wrought  the  former  condition  as  we 
expected.  The  Oregon,  Washington  and  British 
Columbia  people  should  'get  next  to  themselves'  and 
their  fish,  or  else  there  will  be  a  period  often  years  or 
more  of  inactivity  in  their  salmon  business,  as  there 
was  in  ours." 

These  facts  are  worthy  the  careful  consideration  of 
every  one  interested  in  the  salmon  industry.  What 
was  accomplished  on  the  Sacramento  river  can  be 
duplicated  on  the  Fraser  by  the  adoption  of  the  same 
means  there  adopted,  to-wit,  adequate  protection  of 
the  fish  on  the  fishing  and  spawning  grounds,  and 
honest  and  intelligent  operation  of  the  hatcheries. 
And  it  cannot  be  accomplished  in  any  other  way,  and 
the  sooner  the  fishery  interests  appreciate  this  the 
sooner  they  will  cease"  operating  at  a  loss,  and  place 
the  industry  on  a  profitable  and  lasting  basis. 


The  Sacramento  Board  of  Supervisors  have  in- 
structed Game,  Warden  Neale  to  have  the  fish  in  the 
Schulmeyer  pond,  near  the  City  Cemetery,  seined  out 
and  placed  in  the  river.  The  pond  is  full  of  black  bass 
that  are  dying  by  thousands.  It  will  cost  more  to 
bury  the  dead  fish  than  it  will  to  have  them  removed 
and  placed  in  the  Sacramento  river.  These  bass,  and 
plentiful  and  large  they  are,  were  left  in  the  pond 
when  the  water  lowered  and  could  not  get  back  to  the 

stream.

JULY  29,  1905  J 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


The  Millwood  Gun  Club   monthly  shoot  is  the  pro- 
gram tomorrow  for  local  shotgun  devotees. 


A  big  shoot  is  on  for  Santa  Rosatomorrow,  Several 
local  sportsmen  will  attend.  The  Napa,  Woodland, 
St.  Helena,  Sebastopol,  Petaluma  and  Vallejo  repre- 
sentation will  be  a  large  one.  Among  the  features  of 
the  day  will  be  an  exhibition  of  rifle  marksmanship  by 
Prank  L.  Carter  one  of  the  most  skillful  rifle  experts 
in  the  country.  __ 

The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  live  bird  shoot  and  picnic  at 
Reclamation  on  August  24th  will  be  well  worth  while 
attending.  The  main  pigeon  events  will  be  a  12  bird 
shoot,  entrance  SI. 75,  the  price  of  the  birds;  side  pool 
optional,  and  ateam  shoot,  12  birds  per  man,  entrance 
SI. 75.    Side  pool. 

The  shoot  will  be  under  the  supervision  of  Edgar  L. 
Forster  and  this  is  a  guarantee  that  the  function  will 
be  a  success  in  every  way.  Among  other  things  there 
will  be  a  good  lunch  spread,  enough  for  all  and  fjee 
of  expense  to  those  present.  The  8  or  9:30  a,  m.  boat 
via.'Cal.  Northwestern  Railway  is  the  route.  Teams 
will  meet  the  shooters  at  Reclamation  station. 


An  open  to  all  blue  rock  tournament  is  scheduled 
for  August  13th  at  the  Hunter's  Inn,  San  Leandro. 

The  majority  of  shooters  will  take  the  9:40  Oakland 
qoat,  thence  by  electric  cars  to  San  Leandro  where 
Mine  Host  Ravekes  will  meet  the  sportsmen  and- con- 
vey them  to  and  from  the  grounds,  free  of  charge. 
A  good  shooting  program  has  been  arranged. 

A  "clam  bake,"  "barbecue"  and  "bull's  head" 
breakfast  is  the  appetizing  combination  which  will 
_be  provided  for  the  inner  man  and  will  be  served  free 
of  charge  to  the  visiting  shooters  and  their  friends. 
The  Hunter's  Inn  is  famous  for  its  good  cheer  and 
'.hospitality  and  will  on  this  occasion  be  well  attended 
by  a  large  contingent  of  sportsmen. 


The  inter-club  shoot  at  Flosden  Station,  on  the 
Vallejo  Gun  Club  grounds,  was  attended  by  a  large 
turnout  of  shooters,  at  least  75  guns  taking  part  in 
"the  various  events.     San  Francisco's  representation 

i  '.was  strong:  being  about  50%  of  the  shooters  partici- 
pating. 

The  main  event,  a  five  man  team  shoot,  brought  ten 
teams  on  the  firing  line — Golden  Gate,  Vallejo,  two 
teams  each;  Union,  three  teams;  Empire,  Santa  Rosa 
and 'Napa  Gun  Clubs,  one  team  each.  The  race  was 
unfortunately  delayed  until  rather  late  in  the  day, 
the  electric  car  service  being  to  blame  for  the  delay. 
The  result  of  the  shoot  was  a  tie  between  Golden  Gate 
No.  1  and  the  Santa  Rosa  team— each  squad  scoring 
a  total  of  113,  losing  but  12  targets,  a  very  clever  show- 
ing.' The  Santa  Rosa  club  shooters  tied  as  strong  a 
squad  as  could  be  sent  to  the  traps  in  this  city.  It 
looked  at  one  time  as  if  the  double  G  men  would  win. 
■  Every  man  in  the  squad  broke  his  last  bird  but 
Golcher,  who  dusted  his  25th  target,  "Wilson"  closed 

!  with  a  break.  It  was  clearly  a  case  of  shooter's  luck, 
the  dusted  target  getting  through  the  pattern  The 
Santa  Rosa  team  shot  remarkably  well,  Hesse,  Guilt- 
nan  and  Monroe  are  a  hard  trio  to  beat.  Frank  L. 
Carter  shot  in  good  form  losing  but  one  bird,  the 
nintb.  "Tom"  Lewis  is  coming  to  the  front  rapidly, 
his  string  or  20  targets  being  well  centered.  The  tie 
shoot  off  will  probably  take  place  some  time  in 
September. 

Vallejo  team  No.  1  is  a  strong  shooting  squad  and 
were" but  four  birds  behind  the  winning  teams.  The 
winners  in  the  side  pool,  high  guns,  one  money  for 
each  tbree  entries  were:  "Wilson,"  Ed  Schultz,  W. 
Chappell, C.  Drake, F.  W.Hesse,  Jr., and  E.  Klevesahl. 
The  winners  in  a  25  target  race  were:  George  Sylves- 
ter, Len  Hawxhurst  and  C.  T.  Mitchell. 

Too  much  cannot  be  said  in  Draise  of  the  Vallejo 
"Gun  Club  members  who  strove  in  many  ways  to 
entertain  and  look  after  the  many  visitors,  and  their 
ladies,  from  San  Francisco,  Napa,  Santa  Rosa,  St. 
Helena,  Woodland  and  other  points.  The  scores  in 
the  team  event  follow: 

Five-man  team  trophy  race,  25  targets  per  man;  $1 
entrance  per  man,  side  pool  optional;  SI  entrance, 
high  guns;  one  money  for  each  three  entries;  16  yards:

The  sport  of  trap  Bhooting,  we  are  pleased  to  note, 
is  being  revived  in  Stockton,  where  the  the  traps  had 
become  rusted  after  being  unused  for  several  seasons. 
The  Stockton  club  for  a  long  period  had  been  a  promi- 
nent organization  at  many  tournaments.  Unless  we 
are  greatly  mistaken  the  tournament  held  at  Stockton 
in  1897  is  the  record  gathering  of  Coast  trap  shooters. 

On  the  16th  inst.  the  club's  first  live  bird  shoot  for 
this  season  took  place.  A  number  of  the  old  timers 
were  on  hand  and  had  their  "shooting  eye"  in  good 
form. 

In  the  preliminary  blue  roek  events  "Charlie" 
Merrill  was  high  gun. 

The  live  bird  races  were  all  six  bird  events,  S2 
entrance,  high  guns,  two  moneys,  60%  and  40%.  Ties 
divided.    The  scores  were: 

First  race— Johnson  6,  Ellis  6,  Dentoni  4,  F.  Merrill

WITH     THE    ANGLERS. 

GREEKS  WEEK  EXPERT  ANGLERS. 

Probably  few  fishermeD  are  aware  that  fly-fishing 
dates  back  to  classic  times.  A  minute  description  of 
the  artificial  fly  as  used  by  Macedonian  anglers  is 
given  by  Aelian,  a  Greek  writer  of  the  third  century 
A.  D.,  as  follows:  J 

"Between  Berea  and  Thessalonica  there  flows  a 
river,  Astraeus  by  name,  and  there  are  in  it  fishes  of 
a  spotted  color,  but  by  what  name  people  of  those 
parts  call  them  it  is  better  to  ask  Macedonians  At 
any  rate  these  fish  live  upon  the  native  flies  which  fall 
into  the  river  and  are  like  no  flies  of  any  other  part- 
one  would  neither  call  them  wasplike  in  appearance 
nor  would  one  reply  to  a  question  that  this  creature  iB 
formed  like  what  we  call  the  bumble  bees,  nor  yet  like 
the  honey  bees  themselves.  It  has  really  the  proper 
fashion  of  each  of  the  above.  In  audacity  it  is  like 
the  By,  in  size  it  might  be  called  a  bumble  bee  in 
color  it  rivals  the  wasp  and  it  buzzes  like  the  honev 
bees.  All  common  creatures  of  this  sort  are  called 
horse  tails.  These  pitch  upon  the  stream  to  seek  the 
food  they  effect,  but  cannot  help  being  seen  by  the 
fish  which  swim  undernsath. 

"So  whenever  one  of  them  sees  the  fly  floating  he 
comes  softly,  swimming  under  the  water,  afraid  of  dis- 
turbing the  surface  and  so  scaring  away  his  game. 
Then  he  comes  near  the  shady  side  of  the  fly,  gapes 
and  sucks  him  in,  just  like  a  wolf  snatching  a  sheep 
from  the  fold  or  an  eagle  a  goose  from  the  yard.  This 
done,  he  disappears  beneath  the  ripple.  The  fisher- 
men understand  these  maneuvers,  but  they  do- not 
make  any  use  of  theae  flies  for  a  bait  for  the  fish,  for 
if  the  human  hand  lays  hold  of  them  they  lose  their 
natural  color,  their  wings  fray  and  they  become  un- 
eatable to  the  fish.  So  for  this  reason  they  make  no 
use  of  them,  disliking  them  because  their  nature  for- 
bids their  capture. 

"So  with  angling  craftthey  outwit  the  fish,  devising 
a  sort  of  lure  against  them.  They  lap  a  lock  of 
reddish  wool  around  the  hook,  and  to  the  wool  two 
cock's  feathers  which  grow  under  the  wattles,  and 
are  brought  to  the  proper  color  with  wax.  The  rod 
is  from  6  to  10  feet  long  and  the  horsehair  line  has  the 
same  length.  They  lower  the  lure.  The  fish  is 
attracted  by  the  color,  excited,  draws  close  and,  judg- 
ing from  its  beautiful  appearance  that  it  will  obtain  a 
marvelous  banquet,  forthwith  opens  its  mouth,  but  is 
caught  by  the  hook,  and  bitter  indeed  is  the  feast  it 
has,  inasmuch  as  it  is  captured." 

SIERRA     TEOUTBJG. 

A  trip  to  the  Sierra  lake  region  at  this  time  of  the 
year  is  full  of  most  enjoyable  angling  possibilities  ac- 
cording to  Mr.  Al  M.  Gumming,  who  recently  returned 
from  tnat  almost  enchanted  region  after  a  visit  of 
nearly  four  weeks  during  which  trip  he  was  ac- 
companied by  Mrs.  Cumming. 

Leaving  this  city  on  June  21st,  they  went  first  to 
Webber  lake.  From  there  trips  were  made  to  Fordyce 
lake,  White  Rock,  Jackson  and  Webber  creeks.  In 
all  of  these  waters  the  fishing  was  first  class.  The 
killing  lures  were:  black  bodied  royal  coachman,  royal 
coachman,  March  brown,  brown  hackle,  grizzly  king, 
black  and  red  ants,  tied  on  Nos.  8  and  10  sproats.  The 
spoon  for  that  country  is  the  brass  and  silver  La 
Forge  No.  1. 

Recent  reports  are  that  the  fish  are  taking  the  fly 
in  Webber  lake,  Fordyce  and  White  Rock  creeks  in 
fine  style.  Many  large  Loch  Leven  trout  have  been 
taken  in  Webber  lake  this  season.  These  fish  have 
to  be  worked  for,  however,  for  it  is  hard  to  get  tbem 
to  notice  the  usual  lures,  there  being  a  most  plentiful 
supply  of  minnow  feed  for  the  big   trout  in   the  lake. 

From  the  Webber  lake  region  the  two  anglers 
journeyed  to  Bassett's.  Among  the  guests  at  the 
latter  place  they  met  Prof.  Flagg,  of  Berkeley,  Mr. 
Flagg,  Sr.,  Fred  W.  Koch  and  wife.  From  Bassett's 
they  fished  the  north  fork  of  the  Yuba,  Chapman, 
Lincoln,  Packer  and  Salmon  creeks,  Upper  Sardine 
lake,  the  three  Salmon  lakes,  the  three  Bear  lakes 
and  Long  lake,  first  class  fly-fishing  for  rainbow  trout 
was  found  everywhere.  The  fishiDg  at  and  about 
Bassett's  will  continue  good  until  ice  gathers  in  the 
early  Sierra  winter. 

In  20  days' fishing,  Mr.  Cumming  missed  the  limit 
but  twice,  20  boxes  of  fine  trout  sent  out  to  friends 
attested  the  sport  to  be  found  with  rod  and  line  in 
in  this  inviting  mountain  region. 

Among  other  things  Mr.  Cummings  noted  that  the 
mountain  quail  shooting  season  in  that  region  should 
oe  excellent  this  year.  A  light  winter  was  favorable 
to  the  breeding  season  and  the  birds  were  enabled  to 
go  to  the  higher  places  earlier  than  usual.  The  young 
were  hatched  and  raised  before  the  sheep  got  In  this 
season  and  both  old  birds  and  their  wellgrown  broods 
went  up  to  their  regular  feeding  ground  and  are 
more  plentiful  this  year  than  ever  before. 

The  grouse  of  that  region  have  about  become  ex- 
terminated, the  bag  limit  of  25  is  too  strong  for  the 
visible  supply.  The  work  of  the  gun  ie  helped  by  the 
sheep,  who  feed  and  trample  over  every  square  foot  of 
the  country  in  which  the  birds  breed,  and  destroy 
many  nests  of  eggs  and  young  hatched  birds. 

The  close  season  on  snipe  should  be  the  salvation  of 
the  English  snipe  of  that  section,  Sierra  valley  being 
a  breeding  ground  for  them.  October  loth  when  the 
season  opens  is  pretty  late  for  good  snipe  shooting  up 
there,  in  consequence  the  birds  breed  and  propagate 
unmolested  and  find  their  way  to  lower  shooting 
grounds  in  the  open  season. 


MONTEREY    BAY    FISHING. 

O.  A.  Hale,  of  San  Jose,  who  has  been  making  many 
records  at  the  Santa  Cruz  fishing  grounds  this  season, 
"out-Haled  Hale"  on  the  20th  inst.  by  bringing  In 
the  finest  catch  that  has  been  recorded  since  the 
salmon  began  to  run  this  year.  Twenty-seven  salmon, 
three  yellowtall  and  one  rock  cod  was  the  result  of  a 
few  hours'  trolling  in  the  morning.  'The  yellowtall," 
said    Mr.    Hale,     "fought  bard,    the   20-pound    one

S*Tbe  vellowtail  are  seldom  oaugbt  at  Santa  Cruz, 
Catalina  being  more  famous  (or  this  game  fish  than 
any  place  on  the  Coast. 

George  Owen  of  San  Jose  was  with  Mr  Hale  and 
enjoyed  the  sport  of  seeing  the  yellowtail  landed.    . 

Nelson  and  Warren  French  on  the  same  morning 
were  trolling  08  Pacific  Grove;  one  of  the  boys  hooked 
a  35  pound  halibut,  which  pulled  so  hard  the  boy 
though  he  had  a  shark  on,  and  with  considerable 
difficulty  he  finally  landed  the  fish.  A  number  of 
salmon  were  also  caught 

ON    THE    TRUCKEE. 

Flv-tishin"  ou  the  Truckee,  above  Boca,  is  reported 
to  be  excellent  at  present  and  is  being  enjoyed  by  a 
number  of  anglers.  Carlos  G.  Young,  Mr.  McNaugh- 
ton,  Achille  Koos,  Frank  Lacoste,  J.  S.  Turner  and 
W.  E.  Murdock  were  among  the  recent  visitors  to  that 
famous  resort.  , 

Col.  Young  states  the  blue  upright  was  an  exceed- 
ingly good  fly  while  he  was  fishing  there. 

To  get  into  good  water  the  angler  must  go  about 
four  miles  above  Boca,  for  the  Prosser  creek  dam  is 
being  cleaned  out  and  the  river  below  will  probably 
be  roily  until  tbe  end  of  September. 

BA8S    FISHING. 

Striped  bass  fishing  is  remarkably  backward  this 
year,  but  few  fish  being  landed  at  any  of  the  favorite 
resorts.  In  fact,  in  some  heretofore  good  fishing 
grounds  there  has  not  been  a  bass  taken  for  a  long 
time  past.  A  report  was  current  during  tbe  week 
that  a  few  bass  had  been  caught  at  San  O.uentin  point, 
one  being  a  20-pounder 

Several  large  fish  were  taken  in  Lake  Merritt  dur- 
ing the  week.  One,  a  12-pounder,  was  hooked  by 
Chas.  Breidenstein  on  Thursday  night.  Geo.  Went- 
worth  hooked  a  J2J-pound  fish  Fiiday  night.  Results 
generally,  however,  are  not  encouraging  and  the  aver- 
age run  of  fish  landed  are  small  ones. 

A  few  bass  have  been  recently  taken  at  Baker's 
beach.  The  bass  caught  there  are  generally  of  fair 
size,  a  12  pounder  being  the  weight  of  a  recent  capture. 

San  Pablo  bay  is  a  lottery  so  far  as  striped .  bass  is 
concerned.  Some  days  tbe  fish  are  running  nicely,  at 
other  times  they  are  non  est.  Some  fair  catches, 
among  the  fish  taken  being  a  few  6  and  7  pound  bass, 
have  rewarded  recent  trips  of  anglers  to  San  Pablo. 


NEW    BLACK    BASS     RESOBT. 

Some  four  or  five  years  ago  Alta  lake  or  rather 
reservoir,  near  Towles  on  the  Southern  Pacific  line  of 
road,  in  Placer  county,  was  stocked  with  black  bass 
fry.  The  lake  has  evidently  proven  a  congenial 
habitat  for  the  fish,  for  they  have  prospered  and  in- 
creased to  a  remarkable  extent. 

So  well  have  the  fish  flourished  that  the  lake  was 
opened  to  anglers  this  season.  Mr.  Volberg,  of  this 
city,  recently  enjoyed  some  lively  sport  with  the  Alta 
lake  bass.  He  found,  when  he  was  there,  that  the 
most  effective  lure  was  trolling  a  live  grasshopper 
on  a  No.  6  hook.  One  fish  he  caught  weighed  51 
pounds.  He  reports  that  the  water  is  full  of  big  black 
bass,  and  that  he  observed,  near  the  sheltering  fronds 
of  the  aquatic  vegetation,  thousands  of  young  fry, shep- 
herded by  the  old  fish  and  guarded  against  the  maws 
of  catfish  prowling  about  for  black  bass  tidbits.  From 
all  indications,  our  anglers  will  io  the  near  future 
have  black  bass  fishing  galore,  for  both  the  large  and 
small-mouthed  varieties  seem  to  flourish  in  every 
water  of  the  state  where  they  have  been  placed. 

Black  bass  fishing  at  many  points  on  the  Sacra- 
mento river  is  reported  to  be  excellent.  Not  long  ago 
a  large  mouth  black  bass  weighing  nearly  five  pounds 
was  taken  near  Redding.  Black  bass  are  also  plenti- 
ful in  the  river  hear  Oroville,  as  are  their  cousins  of 
the  stripad  variety  In  fact,  both  species  of  the  bass 
family  flourish  in  the  Sacramento. 

At  the  mouth  of  Mark  West  creek  black  bass  are 
plentiful.  A  number  of  fair-sized  fish  have  been 
caught  recently,  

A  notable  angling  trip  was  that  er  joyed  early  this 
month  by  Mr.  Bruce  Cornwall  when  he  fished  in  the 
vicinity  of  Kamloops,  B.  C.  A  big  7  pound  rainbow 
Bent  to  this  city,'  frozen  in  a  huge  block  of  ice,  was  a 
pleasing  reminder  to  many  anglers  of  good  6port  on 
the  northern  streams. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


SANTA    CRUZ     SHOW. 

We  are  Informed  that  the  membership  list  of  the 
recently  organized  Santa  Cruz  Kennel  Club  now 
reaohes  the  seventy  mark,  comprised  of  the  leading 
and  most  Influential  citizens  of  that  delightful  and 
popular  seaside  city.  Further,  that  for  the  coming 
three-day  show  in  September,  tbe  Casino  manage- 
ment will  donate  $1000  worth  of  cups  and  prizes,  this 
generous  contribution  will  be  enhanced  by  a  sub- 
stantial recognition  from  the  railroad. 

An  Eastern  judge  will  be  invited  to  come  out  here 
and  judge  the  show,  we  were  Informed.  Rumor,  this 
week,  well  founded  wo  are  inclined  to  believe,  giveB 
out  Harry  W.  Lacy,  of  Boston,  as  the  judge  selected. 
Mr.  Lacy  has  judged  here  three  times,  twice  anyhow, 
and  has  given  satisfaction  to  exhibitors  and  spectators 
alike,  and,  boing  possessed  of  a  pleasing  and  congenial 
personality,  has  made  a  number  of  friends,  We  be- 
lieve the  securing  of  Mr.  Lacy  to  preside  over  the 
seaside  ring  will  be  a  drawing  card. 

The  fancy's  Interests  In  Santa  Cruz  county  has 
taken  a  booming  and  upward  tendency  and  we  wish 
them  every  success  and  will  second  their  efforts  with-

OBITER    UlllTl'M. 

"The  novice  olass  shall  be  for  American-bred  dogs 
only,  never  having  won  a  first  prize  at  any  recognized 
show,  wins  In  the  pjppy  olass  excepted."  This  simple 
announcement  in  the  American  Kennel  Gazelle,  which 


is  the  official  organ  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  is 
of  far  reaching  importance,  says  the  Boston  Herafd. 
The  above  ruling  goes  into  effect  on  August  1,  and  it 
is  generally  agreed  among  members  of  the  fancy  that 
it  is  one  of  the  best  decisions  ever  madeby  tbegovern- 
Ing  body  of  American  dogdom.  Its  effect  will  be  felt 
more  particularly  at  the  big  shows  in  Madison  Square 
Garden,  New  York,  Mechanics'  buildiDg,  Boston,  and 
at  the  Chicago  dog  show,  as  it  is  at  these  shows  that 
the  foreign-bred  cracks  have  hitherto  made  their 
annual  appearance  in  America. 

These  foreign-bred  dogs,  imported  at  long  prices, 
have  as  a  rule  won  honors  enough  in  England  to 
entitle  them  to  an  American  championship,  yet  they 
were  allowed  to  enter  in  the  novice  with  American- 
bred  dogs  that  had  never  faced  a  judge. 

Whils  this  was  all  very  nice  for  ihe  gentlemen  who 
picked  up  easy  money  by  selling  imported  dogs  at 
fancy  prices  to  American  exhibitors,  it  was  unjust  to 
the  American  breeder  to  compel  him  to  enter  a  novice 
against  a  famous  English  bench  show  winner. 

It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  it  is  a  much  more 
difficult  matter  to  obtain  a  championship  in  Great 
Britain  t  .n,a  it  is|  in  the  United  States.  Over  here 
all  that  is  necessary  for  a  dog  to  beoome  a  champion 
is  to  have  him  win  an  aggregaieof  10  points  in  compe- 
tition in  the  winners'  class  at  different  Bhows.  In 
England,  however,  a  dog  must  win  his  full  champion- 
shin  title  by  winning  threechampionships undertime 
different  judges. 

The  2-leraM's  kennel  contributor  also  has  the  fol- 
lowing pertinent  matter.  If  the  writer  is  the  well 
known  Boston  kennel  authority,  whom  we  believe  he 
is,  we  must  congratulate  him  for  having  the  courage 
of  his  convictions,  for  he  strikes  straight  from  the 
Bhoulder.  But,  really  now,  we  never  thought  it 
would  come  that  way,  more's  the  value  of  it.  He 
writes: 

Trading  in  foreign-bred  dogs  has  been  a  very  profit 
able  investment  for  some  of  the  English  judges,  who 
come  to  America  as  guests  of  kennel  olubs  and  inci- 
dentally as  salesmen,  for  English  judges  have  a  jolly 
good  time,  socially  and  financially,  out  of  American 
dog  shows.  They  are  looked  upon  as  the  fountain 
heads  from  from  -vhich  all  knowledge  flows  in  dogdom. 
Every  year  before  the  New  York  dog  show  begins 
one  hears  of  British  dogs,  mostly  Fox  Terriers  or  Bull- 
dogs, being  imported  at  fabulous  prices,  and  later  on 
the  English  judges  appear  on  the  scene  and  make  tbe 
awards.  In  the  mean  time  the  American  breeder  is 
doing  his  level  best  to  breed  true  to  tbe  type,  but,  no 
matter  how  well  he  succeeds,  the  English  judges 
comes  along,  and,  often  complimenting  the  honest 
American  fancier,  will  finally  turn  him  down  by  saying 
"Your  dog  has  very  good  conformation,  but  he  is 
rather  light  in  bone,  and  it  is  really  too  bad." 

A  young  Yale  student  who  was  up  against  this  kind 
of  jollying  for  a  number  of  years,  finally  decided  to 
call  the  English  bluff,  and  he  has  done  it  in  a  manner 
that  has  opened  the  eyes  of  more  than  one  American 
breeder.  Joseph  B  Thomas,  Jr  ,  had  a  hobby  for 
RussiaD  Wolfhounds,  and,  after  he  had  oue  or  two 
gold  brickB  loaded  on  him  from  England,  brought 
over  the  very  best  dogs  that  money  could  purchase, 
and  he  is  now  successfully  breeding  them. 

Some  day  the  fanciers  in  other  breeds  may  wake 
up  to  the  fact  that  they  have  been  buncoed  for  years. 
There  are  various  kinds  of  graft,  but  the  smooth 
English  judge  haB  such  a  chirming  way  of  rubbing  it 
in  that  his  American  customers  feel  that  It  is  quite  an 
honor  to  be  done  up  brown.  In  the  future,  however, 
the  imported  dogs  will  not  be  especially  favored,  as 
they  have  been  in  the  past,  when  they  line  up  against 
American-bred  bow-wows.  In  tbe  novice  classes  the 
American  breds  will  now  have  a  "square  deal,"  but 
the  foreign  judges  will  still  have  ample  opportunity 
to  bestow  favors  on  the  imported  article.

San  Mateo  Kennel  Club'B  one  day  open  air  show  on 
September  9th,  Santa  Cruz  three  days'  show,  then 
Stockton  in  October  makes  the  outlook  a  pleasing 
one,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  is  the  clincher  for  an  annual 
summer  and  fall  circuit. 

Another  bit  of  gossip,  on  line  with  the  other  good 
tidings  is  that  Oakland  will  show  and  that  Charles 
Lyndon  may  judge  at  San  Mateo: 

Four  coming  shows  this  year  should  bring  out  a  lot 
of  good  young  ones.  There  will  be  strong  induce- 
ments to  put  likely  puppies  on  the  sawdust. 


FACTS    ARE    CONCLUSIVE    ARGUMENTS. 

While  the  echoes  of  the  Grand  American  Handicap 
may  have  died  away,  Parker  Bros,  want  to  call  the 
attention  of  the  shooting  fraternity  to  the  perform- 
ance of  Mr.  John  A.  Flick,  of  Ravenna,  O.,  a  one- 
armed  shooter  who  scored  with  the  Parker  gun,  97 
out  of  a  possible  100,  at  this  famous  shoot.  The 
Parker  gun  also  made  some  other  very  good  records 
at  the  shoot,  winning  the  World's  Team  Race  with  a 
total  of  474  out  of  500,  and  four  Parkers  out  of  five 
shooters  in  this  event.  The  Consolation  Handicap 
was  also  won  with  the  Parker  gun  in  the  bands  of  Mr. 
J  T.  Atkinson,  tying  on  99,  and  shooting  out  his 
opponent. 

Ac  Waynesboro,  Va  ,  on  July  4,  Mr.  C.  H.  New- 
comb,  of  Philadelphia,  strictly  an  amateur,  won  high 
amateur  average,  and  at  Richmond,  Va  ,  on  Decora- 
tion Day,  also  won  high  amateur  average.  At  New 
London,  la.,  which  is  quite  a  shooting  center,  It  may 
be  interesting  to  sportsmen  to  know  that  tbe  three 
handicap  events  held  during  their  last  tournament 
were  all  won  with  the  Parker  gun.  Barton,  of 
Chicago,  and  Gilbert  and  Garrett  all  tied  on  50 
straight,  Barton  breaking  100  straight  to  win  the 
event.  The  spcond  day  handicap  was  won  by  John 
Burmeister,  with  50  straight,  and  tbe  third  day 
handicap  was  won  by  Fred  Gilbert  with  50  straight. 
All  of  the  handicap  events  were  won  with  the  "Old 
Reliable"  Parker  in  the  hands  of  amateurs  in  two 
cases.  In  three  days' shootirg,  the  "Old  Reliable" 
Parker  made  scores  of  200  straight,  which  is  a  re- 
markable perfoimance.  and  proves  conclusively  ibe 
reliability  and  effectiveness  of  the  famous  "Old 
Reliable."

A  contract  for  3,000,000  rounds  of  small  arm 
cartridges  was  awarded  on  June  27th  by  the  War  De- 
partment to  the  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Co,  The 
Chief  ot  Ordnance,  General  Crozier,  in  making  the 
award  said,  "Although  the  price  offered  is  high,  I, 
nevertheless,  consider  that  private  plants  shall  'be 
prepared  and  have  experience  in  the  manufacture  of 
government  ammunition,  which  is  needed  so  desDer- 
ately  and  in  such  large  quantities  in  time  of  war."*  In 
reading  the  General's  remarks,  one  is  strongly  re- 
minded of  the  French  phrase  "Pour  vire, "  it  Is  to 
laugh.  Instead  of  the  Winchester  Company  heingl  ■•:

ready  to  fill  large  orders  as  the  Winchester  people,  it 
would  not  be  necessary  to  advertise  for  bid  son  goyern-i

War,  the  Winchester  Co.  supplied  our  Army  with 
100,000,000  rounds  of  ammunition,  and  our  Navy  with 
over  50,000,000  rounds  of  small  and  large  caliber

Stallions  to  Produce  Carriage  Horses. 


a  In  judging-  "trotting-bred  stallions  suited  to  pro- 
it'  uce  carriage  horses"  for  what   are  we  going  to  look 

:!  i  order  to  frame  decisions  correotly  and   logically? 

'! 'he  fast  trotter  and  the  heavy  carriage  horse  differ 
ill  adically  in  conformation.  It  is  o"bvious  that  we  can- 
2  ot  judge  trotting-bred  stallions  in  this  ring  as  we 
-t  'ould  judge  them  in  their  own   ring  as  sires  of  trot- 

-' ars.  We- must  go  outside  all  established  lines.  We 
*  idst  first  look  for  the  horse  that  possesses  the  heavy 
($  arness  conformation  and  substance  and  action,  and 
lit  we  do  not  find  one  that  fills  this  bill  the  prizes 
'•«  hould  be  withheld,  for  a  stallion  cannot  be  expected 
:-  o  transmit  qualities  which  he  does  not  possess  and 
'Qi 'hick  his  immediate  ancestors  did  not  possess  before 
10  :im.  We  must  remember,  moreover,  that  the  Ameri- 
\  an  trotter  springing  from  Hambletonian  10  has  a 
?A  train  of   hackney  in    him,  for   Hambletonian  himself 

.   as  out  of  the  Charles  Kent  mare,  daughter  of  imp. 

4  lellfounder,  which  was  an  English-bred  hackney  and 

i  numbered  55  in  Vol.  I  of  the  Hackney  Stud  Boos  of 

Ireat  Britain  and  Ireland.    It  is  well  known  that  cer- 

lin  of  the  Hambletonian  strains  show  much  more  of 

ty  be  carriage  type   than   others,  and  it  is  probably  a 

-'  tot,  though  one  impossible  of  demonstration,  that 

.1  he  most  of  the  best  heavy  harness  horses  so  far  pro- 

i  uced  in  the  trotting  breed   have  sprung  from  these 

!  ribeE  or  from   them  in  union  with  a  few   others  that 

f  ave  become  merged  mostly  in  the  Hambletonian, 
J  jch  tribes  as  the  Royal  Georges,  Forests,  Morgans 


parted;  while  we  want  this  and  perhaps  more,  we 
want  it  all  so  that  we  may  be  aided  not  combated  by 
heredity.  In  fact,  we  want  and  must  hive  the  assist- 
ance of  the  carriage  strains  in  the  trotter.  It  Btands 
well  to  the  reason  of  any  thinking  man  that  if  we 
have  these  aids  we  must  have  laid  a  good  foundation 
for  Victory. 

Plenty 'of"  men  still  think  and  some  blatantly  avow 
that  the  racing  trotter  is  the  only  source  from  which 
to  draw  our  heavy  harness  horses.  Such  men  going 
into  a  ring  to  judge  trotting  stallions  for  the  purposes 
under  discussion  will  not  advance  the  cause  they 
champion  so  loudly.  Under  their  mistaken  rule  we 
must  remain  exactly  where  we  are  now  or  retrograde. 
On  the  contrary,  let  the  men  who  are  chosen  to  pass 
on  such  classes  set  aside  the  strict  trotting  type  alto- 
gether and  select  that  which  is  wanted  for  heavy 
leather  as  nearly  as  possible,  and  with  proper  intelli- 
gent selection  we  shall  have  in  time  a  carriage  horse 
producing  strain  of  the  trotting  breed.  It  may  not 
be  easy  at  the  first  to  find  specimens  that  just  fill  the 
bill;  but  if  the  judges  of  such  classes  will  follow

News  From  the  North. 


[Rural  Spirit,  Portland.] 

John  Marble,  of  Los  Angeles,  owns  the  Oregon  bred 
mare  Altawood  2:20  by  Altamont,  out  of  Hollywood 
and  has  two  fillies  one  and  two  year  olds  out  of  her  by 
Zombro. 

J.  C.  Hinshaw,  of  Salem,  Oregon,  is  breeding  his 
mare  Mary  Bell  Vernon  the  dam  of  the  good  two-year- 


^eo.  T.  Beckers,  who  is  making  a  season  wifhhis- 
stallion  Zombro  in  this  city,  priced  him  last  week  to 
a  Boston  party  at  $50,000.  When  Mr.  Beckers  re- 
ceived the  letter  asking  for  a  price  on  this  great 
young  sire  he  advised  with  a  number  of  prominent 
horsemen  before  fixing  the  price  even  !at  what  may 
seem  high  to  those  who  have  not  considered  the 
question  of  value  of  a  pronounced  speed  sire.  When 
McKinney  was  sold  for  $25,000  some  people  thought  it 
a  big  price,  but  the  man  who  bought  him  made  $50,- 
000  on  the  deal.  Zombro  is  a  much  younger  horse 
than  was  McKinney  and  he  promises  to  be  just  as 
good  a  sire.  To  a  man  who  has  a  breeding  farm  $50,- 
000  is  not  too  much  for  a  young  sire  of  Zombro's 
stamp.

THE   FARM. 


The  "Shrops." 


'^  The  Shropshire  breed  of  sheep  stands 
o|  lsurpassed  as  an  all  round  farmers' 
if  >eep  adapted  to  all  conditions,  writes  a 
" -rrespondent  of  Shepherd's  Criterion. 
,t  ot  only  is  the  Shropshire  a  farmer's 
-i  eep,  but    it  is   the  rich  man'B    sheep 

i  so.  Tbey  keep  them  on  their  large 
-rms  because  of  their    beauty  and  pro- 

niicacy.  The  Shropshire  is  the  universal 
u,  eed.  It  is  found  in  large  numbera-in 
-.:  igland,  Ireland,   Scotland,  the    United 

v:ate8,  Canada  and  almost  everywhere 
;' lown  to  sheep  growers. 
j,  Everywhere  Shropshire  rams  are  used 
ill  grade  up  the  common  class  of  ewes, 
i'-id  why  is  this  so?  It  is  becaufe  they 
jive  proved  themselves  to  be  the  most 
.gPfitable.  Shropshires  are  also  very 
jpfitable  when  raised  in  pure  bred  flocks. 

.  e  ewes  of  this  breed  drop  a  large  num- 

tr  of  lambs  and  nurse  them  well,  and  as 

Sm  as  the  lambs  are  partly  matured

When  corn  has  failed,  it  is  a  good  plan 
to  plant  peas.  Three  pecks  to  the  acre 
may  be  used. 

It  pays  to  have  everything  convenient. 
It  saves  in  time  and  effort,  and  that  really 
saves  money. 

It  is  no  small  art  to  be  able  to  cut  and 
dry  hay  just  right.  Some  cut  too  late, 
and  the  hay  is  too  woody. 

The  best  time  to  cut  alfalfa  iB  when  it 
is  beginning  to  bloom.  Fields  are  usually 
uniform  and  may  be  cut  when  about  one 
tenth  of  the  flowers  are  in  bloom. 

It  pays  to  go  to  conventions.  To  hear  a 
great  man  talk,  or  to  talk  with  one  for  an 
hour,  may  lead  to  successful  plans  which 
will  affect  our  whole  lives. 

When  the  crop  has  commenced  to  grow, 
shallow  cultivation  should  be  adopted,  so 
as  to  kill  the  weeds  and  encourage 
moisture.  This  can  hardly  be  overdone. 
During  the  summer  no  one  works  harder 
than  the  farmer.  He  needs  some  recrea-

may  be  as  long  as  possible  and  as  free

When  ground  has  been  packed  by 
heavy  rain,  it  is  necessary  to  cultivate  it 
a  little  deeper  than  usual,  at  first,  so  as  to  J 
loosen  the  soil  and  vitalize  by  letting  in 
the  air.  Late  cultivation  should  ahvayB 
be  shallow. 

There  is  a  general  sentiment  that  if  a 
man's  horae  or  cow  goes  estray,  his 
neighbor's  shall  help  him  to  get  it  back. 
Should  not  this  also  apply  to  his  son  or 
daughter,  if  they  are  going  wrong,  friends 
and  neighbors  should  help  them  get  right 
The  secret  of  shocking  hay,  or  of  stack- 
ing it,  is  to  keep  it  highest  in  the  middle. 
Let  the  first  fork  full  be  heaped  up,  and 
shock  the  hay  on  that.  A  good  stack  Is 
built  on  the  same  principle.  If  the  water 
soaks  in  a  few  inches  it  will  drain  and  dry 
out. 

While  harvesting  it  pays  to  keep  up 
with  ones  work.  Hay  should  le  cut 
down,  dried  and  handled  as  little  ae 
possible.  Rain,  or  dew  spoils  the  color, 
and  while  a  email  amount  does  not  effect 
the  nutritious  value,  it   Bpoils  the  color, 


and  the  price.  The  mower  should  be 
started  in  the  morning,  the  hay  raked 
into  windows  and  put  into  small  shocks 
the  same  day,  even  if  it  is  necessary  to 
open  them  the  next  day.— Texas  Farmer 


Charcoal    as    a    Food    for    Poultry. 

Whenever  the  word  charcoal  appears 
one  looks  impulsively  to  the  results 
obtained  by  its  use.  Charcoal  is  a  cleaner 
and  purifier.  That  has  always  been  its 
chief  qualification  and  its  use  among 
poultry  will  invariably  be  manifested  in 
bright  red  combs  and  wattles,  and  a 
sprightly  demeanor  among  the  fowls. 
Utilized  ae  a  deodorizer  its  value  cannot 
be  overestimated. 

Charcoal  has  been  made  use  of 
years  with  telling  effect  in  the  food  for 
poultry.  The  commercial  product  may 
have  some  advantages  in  being  scientifi-

Broody  ducks  are  almost  a  rarity. 

It  is  hard  to  fatten  the  laying  duck. 

Steeped  alfalfa  is  an  excellent  substi- 
tute for  green  food. 

Ducklings  usually  start  their  molt  wiien 
about  eleven  weeks  old.     ' 

Soft  Bhelled  eggs  come  occasionally,  but 
not  as  often  as  from  henB. 

It  is  nothing  unusual  to  get  eggs  from 
ducka  at  five  months  of  age. 

It  takes  a  duck  about  six  weeks  to  molt 
and  get  in  good  condition  again. 

Four  ducks  laid  612  eggs  last  season 
from  which  were  hatched  300  little  ducka.

the  fowls  and  its  influence  on  the  system 
will  be  directly  noticeable  in  the  improved

taken of  it. 

For  various  disorders  arising  from 
improper  digestion  and  assimilation  of 
foods  the  use  of  powdered  charcoal  in  the

ficial. Sour  crop  will  yield  readily  to  the 
assistance  of  charcoal.  As  a  tunic  for 
sickly  appearing  fowls  the  use  of  cbarcoa'

the  error  of  attempting  to  relieve  these 
conditions  of  sick  and  deranged  chicks 
and  fowls  by  doping,  which  in  tL

Ducka  are  not  subject  to  disease,  as  a 
rule.  They  are  not  troubled  with  vermin 
and  do  not  have  gapes.  The  lack  of 
coarse  sand  in  the  food  will  give  them 
indigestion,  and  damp  quarters  at  night 
will  cripple   them    with     rheumatism.—

Milk  and  Its  Care. 

"Milk  is  responsible  for  the  deaths  of 
thousands  of  babies  and  old  people  every 
year  in  our  cities."  This  is  what  one  of 
the  leading  physicians  of  a  large  city  said 
to  me  a  few  dayE  ago  in  speaking  of  the 
difficulty  of  getting  a  pure  milk  supply. 
It  had  been  very  warm  for  a  week  and  the 
mortalitv  among  the  children  had  been 
unusually  great.  "This  morning  the  milk 
which  came  to  me  was  decidedly  off,"  a 
gentleman  added  after  the  doctor  had 
made  this  assertion.  "It  was  not  sour, 
botitsmelled  bad.  There  was  a  dead, 
shut-up  odor  that  made  me  afraid  to  use 

it. 

I  know  just  what  this  smell  was,  for  I 
had  met  in  my  own  dairy  sometimes, 
especially  when  the  weather  iB  hot  and 
the  air  full  of  what  the  learned  weather 
men  call  "humidity,"  writes  E.L.Vin- 
cent in  Wisconsin  AgriniUunst.  And  it 
is  hard  work  to  avoid  these  odors  at  the 
Beason  of  the  year  when  heat  is  the  pre- 
vailing condition  of  the  atmosphere  day 
after  day. 

Now,  I  have  no  doubt  that  the  doctor 
was  right  in  hiB  assertion  as  to  the  ex- 
cessive mortality  among  the  little  folks 
due  to  impure  milk.  MoBt  of  the  bowel 
troubles  which  take  the  children  away 
come  from  germ  diseases,  and  germs  are 
always  present  in  impure  milk. 

I  never  was  sicker  in  my  life  than  once 
when  away  from  home  at  a  hotel  I  drank 
a  glass  of  milk  for  supper.  It  waB  a  very 
warm  day  but  I  did  not  notice  anything 
whatever  wrong  with  the  milk  I  used.  I 
had  been  feeling  perfectly  well,  so  that  I 
am  satisfied  that  what  followed  could  be 
traced  right  back  to  the  milk,  for  I  had 
eaten  nothing  else  which  could  account 
for  it.  I  went  to  bed  and  fell  asleep. 
About  ten  o'clock  I  woke  feeling  deathly 
sick.  I  vomited  and  had  a  terrible 
diarrhoea  which  rapidly  took  my  strength. 
In  less  than  two  hours  I  was  eo  sick  that 
I  could  scarcely  stand.  Calling  a  physician 
after  a  time  I  succeeded  in  checking  the 
trouble,  but  it  was  several  days  before  I 
wan.  as  strong  as  before.  Since  then  I 
have  been  more  careful  than  ever  about 
having  the  milk  from  my  dairy  just  as 
pure  and  sweet  as  care  can  make  it. 

None  of  us  would  like  to  be  told  that 
we  are  partners  with  disease,  and  especi- 
ally disease  which  attacks  and  has  for 
its  victims  the  helpless  little  oneB.  And 
yet,  whenever  we  are  not  scrupulously 
careful  about  the  condition  our  milk  is  in 
when  it  goes  to  the  milk  station  or  when 
it  is  changed  into  the  form  of  cream  or 
butter  or  cheese,  we  are  at  least  acces- 
sories after  the  fact  if  someone  dies  of 
disease  contracted  through  our  careless- 
ness or  neglect.  So  it  stands  ub  in  hand 
to  work  faithfully  against  such  a  charge. 
We  have  BinB  enough  to  answer  for  and 
the  gray  hairs   will    come    fast   enough

without  our  adding  to  the  burden  or  in- 
viting the  white  locks  by  sending  out  milk 
that  is  not  strictly  pure. 

There  are  a  .number  of  devices  now  on 
the  market  for  sending  pure  air  through 
fresh  milk,  thus  lessening  the  liability  to 
the  growth  of  germs.  These  all  work  on 
practically  the  same  plan.  The  warm 
mHk  slowly  p.iESes  through  the  aerator, 
bringing  the  little  stream  of  liquid  into 
contact  with  the  air.  Then  it  should  be 
set  away  eomewbere  so  that  it  may  not 
attract  to  itself  any  odors  from  decaying 
or  otherwise  ill-smelling  vegetables  or 
fruits. 

It  seems  sometimes  as  if  the' subject  of 
washing  dairy  utensils  clean  has  been 
spoken  of  so  many  times  that  nobody  pays 
any  attention  to  it.  And  yet,  no  subject 
is  of  more  vital  importance  to  the  dairy- 
man. Wash  clean,  men  and  brethren. 
Wash  clean!  This  is  our  everlasting 
watchword.  That  is  one  thing  we  may 
all  do.  We  may  think  we  are  not  able  to 
buy  an  aerator,  but  we  can  use  a  clean 
brush  and  plenty  of  hot  water  and  elbow 
grease.  These  will  count,  particularly  if 
we  avail  ourselves  of  the  purifying  help 
of  the  air  and  sunshine  by  placing  all  our 
utensils  out  of  doors  where  theBe  agencies 
can  work  upon  them. 

And  right  here  is  still  another  thing 
we  can  do.  We  can  give  our  canB  of 
milk  a  good  thorough  shaking  up  two  or 
three  times  in  the  course  of  the  evening, 
if  we  have  no  specially  prepared  aerator. 
After  the  milk  is  in  the  can  all  ready  for 
shipment,  take  the  can  firmly  by  the  top 
and  whirl  it  round  so  as  to  throw  the  con- 
tents smartly  from  one  Bide  to  the  other, 
and  keep  this  up  until  the  milk  has  ail 
been  Btirred  from  the  bottom  and  brought 
in  contact  with  the  air.  An  hour  or  so 
later  repeat  this  operation.  On  very  warm 
nights  it  will  pay  to  get  out  of  bed  and  go 
out  to  the  cans  and  repeat  the  operatin. 

If  you  can  arrange  it  to  bring  a  spring 
down  to  the  house,  so  much  the  better. 
Rig  up  a  trough  and  into  this  Eet  the 
cans  after  the  milk  has  been  put  into 
them.  Even  if  the  water  be  not  very 
cold  if  it  runs  through  the  trough  it  will 
do  much  to  cool  and  purify  the  milk. 
But  whether  you  can  do  this  on  not,  do 
not  neglect  shaking- the  cans  and  where- 
ever  possible  leave  the  covers  off.  By 
bui'ding  a  little  roof  over  the  trough  this 
will  be  easier.  Smothered  milk  will  sour 
much  more  quickly  than  that  which  has 
been  well  aerated. 

There  is  a  deep  sense  of  satisfaction  in 
thinking  that  60  far  as  we  are  concerned 
we  have  done  our  best  to  give  the  city 
neighbors,  pure,  sweet  milk  and  butter. 
The  time  is  coming  when  our  laws  will  be 
more  stringent  than  they  now  are  on 
this  subject.  The  drift  is  that  way,  and 
that  iB  as  it  should  be.  The  man  who 
will  complain  because  he  is  required  to 
keep  his  stables  and  all  things  connected 
therewith  absolutely  clean  would  find 
fault  if  he  were  to  be  asked  to  wear  a 
clean  shirt  to  church  on  Sunday.  And  it 
would  be  a  pretty  small  Bpecimen  of  a 
man  that  would  do  that. 


Sustaining   the   Milk  Flow    in  Dry- 
Summers. 


In  this  section  of  southwest  Missouri 
drouth  usually  comes  about  three  Eeasons 
out  of  five.  I  am  obliged  to  make  pro- 
vision for  the  protection  of  summer 
pastures,  writes  W.  N.Love  in  Orange 
Judd  Farmer.  Dairymen  in  general  are 
prone  to  overstock  pastures  in  the  early 
part  of  the  season  rnd  when  drouth 
comes  they  are  already  Bhort  and  conse- 
quently Buffer  greatly.  After  a  hard 
winter  I  hire  a  summer  pasture  and  leave 
the  home  supply  more  than  ample  for 
the  dairy  cowa.  The  next  provision  is  to 
see  that  the  ample  land  is  not  used  for 
pasture  until  late  in  the  season,  unless 
drouth  makes  it  necessary.  If  the  past- 
ure is  not  overstocked  and  ordinary 
growth  of  mowed  land  untouched  I  am 
pretty  Bafe  until  the  middle  of  September 
for  an  ordinary  herd  of  cattle. 

The  next  provision  I  usually  make  is 
to  sow  some  cow  peas  and  plant  some  late 
corn  of  the  early  ripening  variety,  or  of 
the  evergreen  Bweet  variety  on  wheat 
land,  immediately  after  the'wheat  is  cut. 
This  ground  is  plowed  or  disked,  if  con- 
ditions for  disking  are  proper,  while  I 
plant  about  two  gallons  of  peas  and  one 
gallon  of  corn  per  acre  in  the  row.  If 
only  peas  are  to  be  planted,  I  use  about 
20  pounds,  or  one  third  of  a  bushel  to  the 
acre,  and  go  over  the  ground  twice,  mak- 
ingtherows  about  22  inches  apart.  The 
only  cultivation  given  this  crop  iB  one  or 
two  harrowings  just  after  they  have  ap- 
peared above  the  ground. 

Putting  in  tbiB  crop  requires  little  extra 
labor,  although  it  comes  at  a  time  when 
there  is  much  other  important  work  on 
the  farm,  but  the  results  more  than  pay 
for  the  extra  work,  if  the  season  proves 
to  be  very  dry.  In  any  case,  we  have  an 
excellent  amount  of  extra  feed. and  have 
benefitted  the  soil. 

If  the  mixed  crop  is  not  needed  during 
a  drouth  period,  then  wait  until  they 
begin  to  r'pen  and  shock  for  bay.  A  ton 
of  this  pea  hay  will  be  worth  almost  as 
much  as  a  ton  of  wheat  bran.  I  have 
grown  cowpeas  continuously  for  16  years, 
and  during  this  time  I  have  experimented 
with  millets,  sorghum,  Kaffir  corn,  etc., 
but  have  found  nothing  that  equals  an 
early  variety  of  corn  planted  late  with 
peaB,  peas  alone  aB  feed  paying,  to  say 
nothing  of  the  benefits  to  the  soil. 

I  think  however,  that  alfalfa  is  better 
than  corn  and  peas  to  carry  the  dairy 
cows  over  the  drouth  period,  without 
diminishing  the  flow  of  milk,  But  up  to 
the  preBejt  time  my  experience  with 
alfalfa  has  been  in  learning  how  to  sow  it, 
though  with  the  use  of  inoculating  bac- 
teria I  hope  to  be  able  to  have  some  suc- 


Did  you  ever  watch  the  actions  of  a 
horse  when  he  iB  free  to  choose  his  own 
place  to  rest.  He  will  select  a  level  spot 
where  hiB  feet  may  have  a  flat  surface  to 
reet  upon,  says  the  Maine  Farmer. 
Therefore,  see  to  it  that  the  stall  where 
horses  have  to  pass  a  large  part  ottheir 
time  in  winter,  or  in  fact  in  any  season, 
is  well  adapted  to  their  comfort.  Many  a 
horee  has  contracted  permanent  injury 
Bimply  because  he  was  compelled  to  stand 
in  a  strained  and  unnatural  position  in 
his  stall.

You  can  tell  more  about  the  mutton

cess.  My-experience  has  been  that  othe 
grasses  tend  to  crowd  out  alfalfa.  In  on 
case,  with  a  heavy  application  of  bare 
yard  manure,  I  had  as  fine  a  pasture  c 
timothy  and  red  clover  as  I  ever  wish  t 
see,  and  the  alfalfa  completely  dis 
appeared. 

"  Silage  will  fully  meet  the  emergency  c 
a  dry  period,  but  hitherto  I  have  neve 
had  enough  to  last  until  past  the  first  c 
May,  and  but  few  dairy  farms  are  equippe- 
with  large  enough  silos  to  be  able  to  hav 
this  feed  the  year  around.  In  conclusio: 
will  say  that  if  no  other  provision  ha 
been  made  for  the  drouth  period,  it  wil 
pay  to  feed  dairy  cows  bran  or  cottonseei 
meal  and  green  corn  from  the  field,  ii 
order  to  Bustain  the  milk  flow.

Feeding  Bran  to  Horses. 

There-  is    so  much   prejudice    for    and 
against  certain  feeds,  time  of  watering, 
color  of  horses  and  fads,  that  it  is  well   to 
have  praotical  horsemen  tell  us  the   right 
ind    then   throw    our    prejudice    to    the 
winds.     The  English  Farm  and  Home 
publishes  the  following  article  on  feeding 
bran,  that  explains    from    a    veterinary 
point  the  value  of  bran   when  fed    with 
Train  and  hay  as  a  relish,  much  as  some 
tf  our  stock  foods  to  maintain  condition: 
|   The  feeding  of  dry  bran  is  very  often 
Supposed  to  have  a  binding  effect  upon  a 
horse's  bowels,  but  there  is  no  real  reason 
why    this    frequently-expressed    opinion 
should  be  held,  as  dry  bran  does  not,  as  a 
matter    of    fact,     possess    any    binding 
properties.    It  proves  a  perfectly  whole- 
some food  for  horBes  and  it  is,  as  a  general 
rule,  much  liked  by  them  and  eaten  with 
jreat  reliBh.    Bran    is  not,  of  course,   a 
cood  that  will  make  muscle  and  give  hard 
working  condition,  like  corn,  and  it  can- 
not in  any  way  be  regarded  as  a  substitute 
or  the  latter  despite  the  fact  that  the 
ihemical  composition  of  bran,  as  shown 
Dy  the  figures  of  an  analysis,  is  much  akin 
,o  that  of  oats  or  maize.    Bran  is  a  useful 
mpplementary  foodstuff  for  horse-feeding 
ourposes,  both  on  account  of  the  nourish- 
ment which  it  contains  and  of  its  palata- 
jility  to  horses.    In  the  case  of  horses 
vhich  are  poor  feeders,  the  plan  of  mixing 
.ome  bran  instead  of  chaff  with  their  corn 
>ften  is  successful  in  inducing  them   to 
consume  their  feed  of  corn  with  greater 
•elish  than  they  otherwise  do.    When  a 
loree  is  a  bad   doer,  and  in   consequence 
carries  too  little  flesh  on    its    ribs,   the 
mimal's  b  dily  condition   may    not    in- 
requently   be   improved    by    feeding    a 
;oodly  daily  allowance  of  bran— say,  4  to 
.  pounds.    The  consumption  of  this  large 
luantity  of  bran   every  day,  in  addition 
o  the  usual  corn  ration  and  hay  allowance, 
iften  causes  a  horse  to  put  on   flesh  and 
ain  in  weight  and  bodily  condition,  Bran 
s  practically  just  as  suitable  as  chaff  or 
hop  for  the  purpose  of  mixing  with   the 
eed  of  corn  in  order  to  make  the  horses 
hew    and    insalivate    their   corn    in  a 
horough  manner,  and  it  is   much   more 
•alatable  to  horses  than  chaff  or  chop. 
Bran  is  a  very  useful  food  for  such  idle 
orses  as  may  require    an  allowance  of 
oncentrated   food   in    addition   to  their 
tber  diet.    It  contains  an  ample  amount 
f  nourishment,   and    is    nitrogenous   in 
haracter,  and  yet  it  is  in  no?  ise  heating 
i  its  effects  upon  the  horse's  system — a 
ict  which  renders  it  pre-eminently  suit- 
ble  as  a  concentrated  foodstuff  for  idle 
orses,  and  those  that  perform   but   very 
ttle  work.    Some  bran  is  also  a  useful 
Jjunct  to  the  diet  of  heavy-in-foal  mares 
od  for  mares  with  suckling  foals  at  foot. 
ran  is   very    generally    regarded    as  a 
ilk-making  food  by  horse  breeders,  and 
|  though  there  are  no  accurately  carried 
lit  experiments  in  regard  to  this  question 
,i  record  which  could  be  adduced  in  sup- 
3rt  of  this  opinion,  it  is   supported   by 
le  fact  that  bran  proves  a  good  milk- 
roducing  food  in  the  case  of  dairy  cows, 
id  it  is  pretty  safe  to  assume  that  if 
:an  has  a  stimulating  effect  on  the  flow 
milk  in  cows,  it  has  a  similar'effect  in 
18  case  of  suckling  broodmares. 
Bran  is  very  suitable  as  a  supplement- 
'y  concentrated  food   for   weaned  foals 
id  young  horseB,    There  is  nothing  bet- 
'r  than  a  little  bran  for    mixing   with 
ie  crushed  oats  when  foals  are   being 
ought  on  to  solid  food,  bran  being  easily 
jested  by  a  foal  when  the  latter  is  able 
'    deal   with    solid   food.     In   the  case 
sick  horseB  and  those  that  are  con- 
..lescent,  the  inclusion  of  some  bran  in 
|  [  eir  diet  proves    very    beneficial.      On 
count  of  it  palatability,  bran  tempts  the 
.petite  of  sick  horses  more  easily  than 
her  dry  foods. 


Canary  Hay  Seed. 

Major  C.  P.  BraBlan  of  the  Braslan  Seed 
•oweraj  Company  has  the  following  to 
y  to  a  San  Jose  Mercury  reporter  in  re- 


13 


gard  to  the  growing  of  canary  seed,  which 
has  been  undertaken  with  great  success 
this  season  in  the  San  Juan  valley. 

"At  our  seed  farm  this  year  we  planted 
canary  seed  in  quantity,  for  the  first 
time  in  this  country.  The  planting  was 
done  merely  for  seed  purposes.  But  as 
the  plant  developed,  we  began  to  realize 
that  we  had  discovered  something  that 
promis.ed  to  revolutionize  hay  growing. 

"You  are  presumably  aware  this  year 
wheat  and  barley  have  Buffered  much 
from  rust.  But  thiB  field  waB  free  from 
rust  while  wheat  and  barley,  side  by  side 
with  this  field,  were  eaten  up  with  ruBt. 
It  seems  to  be  rust  proof. 

"Cows  and  horses  are  so  fond  of  it  that 
they  will  pass  by  barley  and  wheat  to  get 
at  the  canary  seed.  And  better  still, 
they  can't  eat  too  much  as  it  ia  harmless.'' 

As  to  the  productiveness,  it  grows  over 
five  feet  bigh  and  will  make  five  tons  of 
hay  to  the  acre.  It  is  ready  for  cutting 
two  or  three  weeks  earlier  than  barley. 

Ab  a  seed  plant  it  produces  about  1500 
pounds  of  seed  to  the  acre,  and  in  plant- 
ing about  30  poundB  of  seed  should  be 
drilled  in. — Hollister  Advance  . 


Shade  is  worth  money  to  aows  and  little 
pigs  now.  Comfort  and  profit  are  closely 
allied  in  the  hog  business.

This  Truck  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  tne  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm. 

The  "Jersey"  is  a  pronounced  success,  not  only  for  tbe  transportation  of  fruit, 

but  as  a  general  purpose  dray  in  villages  and  small  cities.

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  August  5,  1905 

SANTA  ROSA  is  now  headquarters  for  all  the 
trotters  and  pacers  that  are  being  raced  on  the 
California  circuit.  All  the  fast  ones  are  there,  in- 
cluding Zolock  2:051,  tae  fastest  horse  on  the  Pacific 
Coast.  Probably  the  two  hundred  box  stalls  at  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm  track  are  all  filled  by  this  time,  as 
last  Saturday  but  very  few  vacant  ones  were  left.  On 
Wednesday  of  next  week  the  Sonoma  Driving  Club 
will  give  a  benefit  to  Willard  Zibbell,  a  good  program 
of  racing  being  promised  for  this  the  initial  meeting 
of  the  new  club.  A  more  worthy  cause  could  not  be 
be  found  for  the  first  attempt  of  this  club  at  giving  a 
race  meeting,  and  as  tickets  have  been  sold  to  a  great 
many  people  there  will  be  a  large  attendance.  This 
benefit  will  whet  the  appetites  of  horsemen  for  the 
splendid  program  which  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders  Association  will  open  one  week  later. 
There  has  been  no  meeting  held  on  this  coast  in  years 
that  has  been  looked  forward  to  with  as  much  inter- 
est as  this  one.  The  high  class  of  the  entries  to  the 
class  events,  and  the  known  and  unknown  qualities 
of  the  colts  and  fillies  that  will  start  in  the  four  rich 
stakes  are  subjects  of  discussion  wherever  horsemen 
are  assembled.  People  are  coming  from  all  parts  of 
the  State  to  attend  this  meeting  at  Santa  Rosa,  and 
they  will  not  be  disappointed,  as  the  racing  is  bound 
to  be  good,  the  tier  efast,  and  the  citizens  of  the  town 
ready  to  give  all  visitors  a  most  hospitable  reception. 
Santa  Rosa  is  growing  very  fast,  new  residences 
and  business  blocks  being  very  numerous.  The 
climate  is  one  of  Santa  Rosa's  proudest  boasts  and 
sunny  days  and  cool  nights  are  certain.  The  best 
vacation  for  a  lover  of  horses  to  take  is  to  visit  Santa 
Rosa  during  the  Breeders  meetiDg  which  opens 
August  16th        


THE  HORSES  belonging  to  the  estate  of  the  late 
Michael  Pox  will  be  sold  at  private  sale  by  the 
executor  whose  advertisement  appears  in  another 
oolumo  of  this  issue.  The  list  is  headed  by  the  well 
known  Masedo,  a  winner  of  the  majority  of  his  starts 
both  at  New  York  and  in  California.  Masedo  was  one 
of  the  sensational  two-year  olds  of  1903  winning  a  good 
race  and  running  Boxwood  to  a  head  in  the  Laureate 
Stake,  five  furlongs  in  :59j  and  defeating  Highball, 
Greencrest  and  other  good  ones.  Reseda  II  the  dam 
of  Masedo  will  be  sold  in  this  lot.  She  is  by  Midlo- 
thian from  Marigold  by  Luke  Blackburn  and  is  in  foal 
to  Orsini  a  son  of  Ormonde  and  Jongleuse.  The  well 
known  broodmare  Fanny  Louise  by  Darebin-Nellie 
Peyton  will  also  be  offered.  Fanny  Louise  was  a  good 
race  mare  herself  and  is  the  dam  of  the  well  known 
stake  winners  Canmore,  Andrisa  and  Sister  Jeanie. 
She  is  a  young  mare  and  was  bred  to  St.  Carlo  this 
year  and  ha9  proved  herself  to  be  a  producer  of  high 
class  race  horses. 

There  are  two  weanling  fillies  in  the  lot  one  by  St. 
Carlo  from  Reseda  II  and  the  other  by  Orsini  from 
Fanny  Louise  which  should  prove  good  prospeotsif 
looks  and  breeding  count  for  anything.  The  yearlings 
are  a  bay  colt  by  Kenilworth  from  EdnaRose  adaugh- 
ter  of  Reseda  II  and  a  bay  filly  by  Orsini  from  Fanny 
Louise;  and  one  in  search  of  good  racing  prospects 
should  not  fail  to  make  a  bid  on  these  foals  as  they 
are  on  looks  and  conformation  the  beat  lot  that  have 
been  offered  in  the  local  market  this  season.

Willard  Zibbell  Is  Married. 


The  following  from  the  San  Francisco  Call  of 
August  1st,  will  interest  all  of  our  readers  who  have 
read  of  the  fearful  accident  at  Fresno  on  July  12th. 

Oakland,  July  21— Out  of  the  West  there  came 
toiay  a  modern  Lochin^ar  to  claim  a  bride.  It  was  a 
twentieth  century  weddiDg  with  a  vengeance  that  was 
celebrated  this  afternoon  in  Oakland  when  bride, 
groom,  witnesses  and  the  offlfiatiog  knot-tier  sallied 
forth  in  an  automobile  and  celebrated  the  ceremony 
in  the  big  touring  car  on  the  street  corner.  Willard 
Rush  Zibbell  and  Georgie  Kempfer  were  the  contract- 
ing parties. 

In  the  large  machine  with  the  "chug  chug"  of  the 
the  wheels  for  accompaniment,  Justice  of  the  Peace 
W.  R.  Geary  pronounced  the  words  that  united  Zib- 
bell and  his  bride.  The  witnesses  who  sat  in  the  for- 
ward seat  with  a  chauffeur  were  J.  W.  Zibbell  and 
Mrs.  Dora  Zibbell,  the  groom's  father  and  mother, 
and  Miss  Ena  Zibbell,  his  sister.  The  groom  is  a 
horseman  of  some  note,  and  is  a  member  of  the  firm 
of  Zibbell  &  Son,  proprietors  of  the  Zibbell  stable,  672 
Eleventh  avenue,  San  Francisco.  The  bride  is  also  a 
resident  of  the  city  across  the  bay,  whence  came  the 
bridal  party  in  the  automobile  .today. 

The  wedding  occurred  at  the  corner  of  Sixth  and 
Castro  streets  at  4:30  o'clock.  Shortly  before  that 
time  Justice  Geary  was  summoned  to  the  County 
Clerk's  office  by  a  message  which  announced  that  his 
services  would  be  required  at   a   marriage  ceremony. 

When  the  Justice  arrived  he  was  introduced  to  the 
automobile  party,  and  was  invited  to  jump  in  for  a 
ride.  It  was  explained  to  Judge  Geary  that  the  bride 
and  groom  did  not  desire  to  leave  the  machine,  so  a 
quick  run  was  made  to  Sixth  and  Castro  streets  as  a 
convenient  and  quiet  spot  for  the  ceremony.  Quickly 
the  event  was  concluded,  and  Justice  Geary  left  the 
machine,  waving  adieu  to  the  bridal  party  as  the 
autcmobile  faded  away  in  the  cloud  of  dust,  headed 
back  for  San  Francisco. 

Around  the  unique  wedding  is  a  touch  of  unusual 
sentiment  and  pathos.  On  July  12th  Zibbell  was  in 
Fresno  with  a  friend.  While  walkiDg  across  the  rail- 
road track  one  night  they  were  struck  by  a  train  at 
the  crossing.  The  friend  was  killed  and  Zibbell  was 
crippled  for  life.  His  left  arm  was  cut  off,  his  right 
hand  was  severed  and  his  left  leg  was  cut  off.  He  also 
suffered  internal  injuries  which  for  many  days  left 
him  hovering  between  life  and  death.  The  injured 
man  was  nursed  back  to  life  by  careful  and  attentive 
effort. 

The  most  anxious  of  all  during  this  time  was  the 
young  man's  sweetheart,  Mrs.  Kempfer,  to  whom  he 
was  engaged  to  be  married.  Many  days  passed  before 
word  was  at  last  given  that  Zibbell  would  live 

"Who,"  it  was  asued,  "should  have  a  better  right 
to  care  for  this  unfortunate  man  than  the  woman  who 
was  to  be  his  wife?" 

It  was  all  talked  over  among  the  Zibbells.  The 
young  man  was  sure  he  did  not  want  his  sweetheart 
to  make  the  sacrifice.  She,  with  a  loyal  heart  and  in- 
sistence that  could  not  be  broken,  declared  she  must 
take  her  place  at  her  lover's  side  as  his  wife.  Oniy  in 
that  capacity  could  she  be  his  helpmeet  iD  his  hour  of 
sore  need  and  trial. 

So  the  arguments  ran  until  the  plucky  woman,  like 
most  of  her  sisters,  had  her  own  way.  Then  it  was  a 
problem,  in  view  of  Zlbbell's  condition,  to  have  the 
marriage  celebrated  without  undue  notice.  They  de- 
cided to  come  to  Oakland,  hoping  that  here  it  could 
be  arranged  quietly.  The  family  desired  to  bo  present. 
A  procession  of  hacks  was  not  wanted,  and  Zibbell's 
condition  was  such  that  he  cjuld  Dot  travel  in  toe 
ordinary  way  by  boat  and  train.  The  automobile 
solved  the  case.  A  friend  of  Mr.  Zibbell's  kindly 
offered  the  use  of  his  machine. 

Without  any  publicity  the  Zibbells  and  the  bride 
formed  the  party  that  hoaded  for  Oakland  this  after- 


noon. Without  delay  the  trip  was  made  to  the  Hall 
of  Records,  where  thenecessary  licenseand  the  equally 
necessary  Justice  of  the  Peace  were  brought  into 
service.  In  the  brief  explanation  that  was  made 
while  the  Justice  was  on  the  way  to  the  rendezvous, 
he  was  told  that  owing  to  the  groom's  crippled  con- 
dition he  could  not  leave  the  machine.  Judge  Geary 
rapidly  made  a  mental  review  of  the  law  of  the  State 
of  California  on  the  subject  of  marriage.  He  could 
remembernothingthat  prevented  him  from  officiating 
in  an  automobile,  so  long  as  the  contracting  parties 
were  legally  qualified.  Without  any  ado  he  joined  in 
the  spirit  of  the  occasion  •  nd  sent  away  the  happy 
couple  with  his  judicial  biessiog. 


Sonoma  County  Driving  Club. 

The  new  driving  club  organized  by  the  horsemen  of 
Sonoma  county  has  started  out  right  by  joining  the 
National  Trotting  Association  and  all  matinee  and 
other  racing  under  the  club's  auspices  will  be  accord- 
ing to  rule. 

At  a  meeting  held  the  other  evening  at  Santa  Rosa 
it  was  decided  to  give  a  benefit  on  Wednesday  of  next 
week  to  Willard  Zibbell,  the  unfortunate  trainer  who 
lost  his  limbs  in  the  awful  railroad  accident  at  Fresno 
July  12th. 

The  benefit  will  take  the  form  of  a  race  meet  and 
some  of  the  best  horses  at  the  track  will  start  on  the 
occasion  and  it  is  hoped  that  a  handsome  6um  will  be 
realized  forthe  benefit  of  the  unfortunateyoung  man. 

A  Committee  on  Speed  Program  was  named  consist- 
ing of  F.  Wright  of  Sacramento,  John  Albertson  of 
Fresno  and  W.  H.  Lumsden  of  Santa  Rosa. 

The  horsemen  are  all  very  enthusiastic  over  the 
meeting.  They  are  all  very  anxious  to  do  what  they 
can  for  Zibbell,  and  they  want  the  public  to  assist 
them  and  in  return  promise  an  excellent  card.  Zibbell 
is  quite  well  known  in  Santa  Rosa.  He  resided  there 
once  and  so  did  his  parents.  The  general  spirit  which 
.  moves  the  horsemen  in  this  effort  is  a  very  worthy 
0  e.  Henry  Carlton,  secretary  of  the  Sonoma  County 
Driving  Club  will  take  an  active  part  in  the  arrange- 
ments. 

Some  twenty  horses  have  already  been  entered  to 
start.  There  will  be  two  or  three  races  between 
horses  owned  by  members  of  the  Sonoma  Driving 
Club  and  all  the  fastest  horses  at  the  track  will  be 
driven  exhibition,  miles,  halves  or  quarters. 

The  officers  of  the  new  club  are  P.  H.  Quinn,  Presi- 
dent; W.  H.  Lumsden,  Vice-President;  L.  W.  Burris; 
Treasurer,  and  H.  A.  Carlton,  Secretary.

Club  Racing  at  Albany,  Oregon. 

ALBANY,  July  29,  1905. 

The  Independence  Driving  Club  gave  a  successful 
program  this  afternoon  at  their  balf  mile  track  just 
beyond  the  city  limits.  Attendance  was  satisfactory, 
weather  pleasant  and  track  good.  The  participants 
were  mostly  local  owners  and  the  interest  manifested 
was  on  that  account  all  the  more  keen.  No  records 
were  smashed,  but  the  entertainment  offered  satisfied 
the  crowd.  The  harness  races  were  half  mile  heats, 
three  in  five,  with  the  exception  of  the  "club  race" 
which  was  two  in  three.  Small  purses,  plus  a  propor- 
tion of  the  gate  receipts,  were  offered.  The  program 
had  provided  an  event  for  the  gallopers,  which,  how- 
ever, was  not  pulled  off.    The  summaries.

A  three-year-old  standard  bred  trotting  colt  is 
offered  for  sale  by  an  advertiser  this  week  that  is 
worthy  ol  especial  montion,  not  alone  on  his  individu- 
ality, which  is  superb,  but  on  his  pedigree  which  is 
unique  inasmuch  as  he  traces  four  times  to  that  great 
thoroughbred  mare  Fanny  G.,  by  imported  Margrave, 
twice  through  his  sire  Iran  Alto  2:12}  and  twice 
through  bis  dam  the  registered  mare  Alma  Wilks- 
wood  by  Alcantara.  The  second  dam  of  this  colt  is 
the  great  broodmare  Emma  Nutwood  dam  of  Lottery 
Ticket  2:19.1  and  Pilot  Prince  2:2SJ  both  2:10  sires,  the 
former  b.iinc  the  sire  of  Mush  2:083  and  the  latter  sire 
of  Nance  O'Nell  2:09}.  The  colts  third  dam  is  that 
famous  old  mare  Ladv  [3mma,  record  2:38  on  a  half 
mile  track,  sired  by  Black  Hawk  7117,  bis  fourth  dam 
is  by  the  world's  champion  trotter  at  30  miles,  Gen. 
Taylor,  and  the  fifth  dam  the  mare  Rosalie  by  Wil- 
liamson's Belmont.  If  there  is  a  better  bred  son  of 
Iran  Alto  2:12}  than  this  one  wo  have  not  heard  of 
him.  Hannibal,  as  the  colt  is  called  should  make  a 
great  stock  horse  as  he  has  tho  size  and  conformation 
and  will  tire  speed  to  a  certainty.

Breeders  meeting 


Will  open  at  Santa  Rosa 


One  week  from  next  Wednesday. 


It  will  be  the  greatest  meeting  held  in  California 
this  year.  _____ 

A  car  load  of  new  MoMurray  white  enameled  sulkies 
just  received  by  the  Kenney  Manufacturing  Company, 
531  Valencia  street.     

A  sale  of  high-class,  standard-bred  stallions,  brood 
mares,  geldings  and  fillies  will  be  held  at  Colusa  next 
Wednesday,  August  9th. 


Petigru  2:10}  is  goine  60  well  and  showing  such  ex- 
treme speed  that  he  may  be  taken  East  for  the  late 
fall  meetings  on  the  Grand  Circuit. 


Bids  will  be  opened  Monday  next  for  the  privileges 
of  the  Breeders  meeting  at  Santa  Rosa.  The  privileges 
to  be  let  will  be  found  advertised  in  our  columns  to- 
day.   

Mart  Rollin's  good  gelding  Charley  Belden  by  Lyn- 
wood  W,  dam  by  SilaB  Skinner,  trotted  a  mile  in  2:16 
last  Saturday  at  Santa  Rosa  and  the  last  quarter  was 
in  32  seconds.  

The  new  29-pound  Flower  City  sulky  which  the  San 
Francisco  Wheel  &  Novelty  Company  has  just  received 
is  a  beauty.  Get  it  to  win  a  race  with  at  Santa  Rosa 
or  the  State  Fair.        

J.  O.  Gerrity  has  the  string  of  trotters  and  pacers 
owned  by  W.  A.  Clark,  Jr.  and  will  drive  them  in 
their  races  at  the  New  England  meetings  and  later  on 
the  Grand  Circuit. 

The  row  of  stalls  filled  with  young  Sidney  Dillons 
which  Frank  Turner  has  at  the  Santa  Rosa  track  at- 
tract the  attention  of  all  visitors  to  that  speed  centre. 
They  are  grand  looking  colts  and  fillies. 


Zolock  2:05}  has  been  bred  to  about  twenty  mares 
since  he  started  at  Los  Angeles.  He  is  not  only  the 
fastest  entire  son  of  McKinney,  but  is  considered  by 
many  students  of  pedigree  and  blood  lines  to  be  the 
best  bred.  

C.  K.  G.  Billings  drove  his  pacing  team  Hontas 
Crook  and  Prince  Direct  a  quarter  of  a  mile  against 
time  at  Cleveland  track  last  week  and  they  covered 
the  distance  in  29}  seconds.  This  is  the  fastest  quarter 
ever  paced  by  a  team. 


The  dam  of  Beile  Mack  2:04}  has  foaled  a  very  hand- 
some colt  by  Rey  Direct  2:10  It  is  a  natural  pacer. 
This  mare  will  be  bred  to  Pilot  Wilkes  thiB  season. 
Air.  Chas  Master,  who  owns  her.  recently  lost  a  full 
brother  to  Belle  Mack. 


For  a  purse  of  $400  offered  for  the  free-for-all  pacers 
at  Titusville,  Pa  ,  last  week,  there  were  five  starters. 
The  track  is  a  half  mile  oval,  yet  the  time  of  Frank 
Yoakum,  the  winner,  was  2:05},  2:06}  and  2:12.  The 
last  heat  was  in  the  rain. 


Colts  and  fillies  entered  in  the  Occident,  Stanford 
and  Breeders  futurity  stakes  are  to  be  sold  at  Colusa 
on  the  9th  of  August,  when  Mr.  E.  C.  Peart  of  that 
city  disposes  of  his  standard  bred  stallions,  mares, 
geldings  and  Sillies.  Here  is  a  chance  to  buy  a  future 
stake  winner  at  your  own  price. 


The  Directors  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society 
have  decided  to  have  all  livestock  to  be  entered  or 
raced  at  the  coming  State  Fair  to  be  examined  by 
Drs.  Charles  Keane,  J.  H.  McLean,  A.  M.  McCollum, 
C.  L  Megowan  and  D.  F.  Fox  before  permitting  them 
upon  the  Fair  grounds. 


Alta  McDonald  gave  Excuse  No.  69  from  Murray 
Howe's  Excuse  Book  to  account  for  Sweet  Marie's 
defeat  at  Philadelphia.  This  excuse  reads  "Track 
did  not  suit  her."  McDonald,  however,  overlooked 
Murray  Howe's  foot  note  which  reads  "Never  use  this 
one  when  all  the  heats  are  better  than  2:12. " 


The  three-year-old  trotters  that  start  in  the  Breed- 
era  Futurity  this  year  will  contest  for  $2300,  divided 
if,  and  10  per  cent.  First  money  will  be  $1150, 
and  If  the  owner  of  the  winner  was  the  original  nomi- 
nator of  the  colt  he  will  be  paid  $200  additional.  The 
owner  of  the  stallion  at  the  time  the  colt  was  bred  will 
get  »100  

"Smoke  Stack"  won  again  with  Golden  Gate  when 
he  reached  Fremont,  Nebraska  The  account  of  the 
race  states  that  it  was  a  2:40  trot  that  he  started  in. 
Although  the  Bay  Bird  gelding  has  been  pacing  in 
his  previous  starts  this  year,  he  can  go  either  gait 
and  as  the  best  time  of  the  Fremont  race  was  2:25,  the 
probability  is  that  Brown  is  starting  bim  in  all  races 
to  wbich  he  is  eligible  and  has  a  chance  to  win. 
Golden  Gate's  pacing  record  is  2:13}  made  at  Denver 
n  June,  this  year. 


"Young  man,  see  what  hard  work  will  do.  The 
hoy  that  cared  for  the  roan  filly  I  raced  at  Gumbo 
Flats,  July  4,  has  opened  a  public  training  stable  at 
Pumpkinville  Corners,  and  already  has  an  even  dozen 
horses  in  his  string.  Six  weeks  ago  he  didn't  know 
what  a 'quarter  boot"  looked  like,  but  now  he  is  the 
"real  thing." — Columbus. 


Electro,  bay  stallion  by  Sutter  29069,  dam  the  thor- 
oughbred mare  Buchu  by  Buchanan,  is  a  two-year-old 
of  high  form  ind  great  promise  He  is  owned  by  Mr. 
E.  C.  Peart  of  Colusa,  is  entered  in  the  Stanford  and 
Occident  stakes  of  next  year,  acd  will  be  sold  at  auc- 
tion at  Colusa  next  Wednesday  with  the  rest  of  Mr. 
Peart 's  stock.  

Zolock  will  not  be  entered  in  the  free-for-all  pace  at 
the  State  Fair.  All  the  horsemen  conceded  it  would 
be  a  walk  over  for  the  great  son  of  McKinney  and 
Henry  Delaney  shows  that  he  is  willing  to  let  others 
have  a  cbance  by  keeping  Zolock  out  of  the  race. 
Zolock  will  be  driven  exhibition  miles,  however,  so 
the  public  will  have  a  chance  to  see  him. 


Eighteen  horses  won  heats  in  2:10  or  better  at  the 
Detroit  meeting,  and  still  the  racing  >vas  not  con- 
sidered sensational.  The  number  of  2:10  performers 
is  increasing  so  fast  tnat  unless  a  trotter  or  pacer 
6hows  he  is  likely  to  go  two  or  three  heats  in  that 
time  he  is  not  considered  of  class  enough  to  race  on 
the  Grand  Circuit. 

The  Sonoma  County  Driving  Club  haB  joined  the 
National  Trotting  Association  and  will  hold  all  its 
races  according  to  rule.  The  first  meeting  of  the  new 
organization  will  be  on  Wednesday  of  next  week  when 
a  benefit  will  be  tendered  to  Willard  Zibbell,  the  un- 
fortunate young  trainer,  so  terribly  injured  in  the 
recent  Fresno  railroad  accident. 


Ed  Parker  who  marked  Dictatress2:08|,  Rey  Direct 
2:10  and  many  other  fast  ones,  has  opened  a  public 
training  stable  at  Pleasanton  and  desires  a  few  more 
horses  to  train.  Mr.  Parker  is  one  of  the  most  care- 
ful men  in  the  business,  knows  how  to  get  speed  out  of 
colts  and  teaches  them  good  manners  as  well  aB  know- 
ing how  to  gait  and  balance  them.  His  advertisement 
appears  in  our  business  columns. 


Bought  a  few  years  ago  for  $5  and  later  sold  for  $150, 
a  "scrub"  pony  broke  a  world's  record  in  Denver, 
July  29th,  and  now  his  owner  would  not  take  $1500 
for  him.  The  world's  half-mile  mark  for  polo  ponies 
was  broken  at  the  City  Park  track  by  Uncle  Sam, 
owned  by  George  C.  Wood  and  ridden  by  Charles  G. 
Sutton,  who  weighs  165  pounds.  Uncle  Sara's  time 
was  :52  2-5.    The  world's  record  was  :52f. 


The  celebration  to  be  made  by  the  Native  Sons  at 
Sacramento  duriDg  fair  week  will  undoubtedly  draw 
a  very  large  crowd  to  the  Capital  City.  The  exhibit 
at  the  pavilion  this  year  will  be  under  the  auspices  of 
this  order  and  tfill  consist  of  displays  of  the  products 
of  the  various  counties  in  the  State.  The  Agricultural 
Society  offers  $500  for  first  prize.  Admission  to  the 
pavilion  will  be  free  during  the  entire  week. 

Remember  the  sale  of  high-class  standard  bred 
stallions,  broodmares,  geldings  and  fillies  that  is  to 
take  place  Wednesday,  August  9th,  at  Colusa,  Cali- 
fornia. These  animals  are  consigned  by  Mr.  E.  C. 
Peart,  the  well  known  merchant  and  stock  breeder  of 
Colusa  oounty,  and  some  very  choice  young  prospects 
are  among  them.  A  lot  of  sulkies,  carts  and  harness 
are  also  to  be  sold  at  the  same  time  and  place. 


Sales  of  horses  in  New  York  and  Chicago  thus  far 
this  year  exceed  those  of  the  corresponding  period 
last  season  by  about  10,000  head  in  each  city.  The 
increase  is  remarkable  in  view  of  the  immense  pres- 
sure of  vast  capital  to  crowd  horses  out.  Motor  vehi- 
cles are  being  promoted  aa  enormous  cost  to  the  mak- 
ers and  users,  yet  opposition  to  horses  only  seems  to 
emphasize  their  utility  in  all  industry  and  commerce. 


Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  announce  than  or  about  Octo- 
ber 12, 1805,  tbey  wUl  sell  at  auction  at  Suisun,  fifty 
head  of  registered  Shorthorn  bulls  and  heifers  from 
the  prize  winning  Humboldt  Herd,  property  of  Rush 
&  Pierce.  Write  to  their  office,  1732  Market  street, 
San  Francisco,  for  particulars  and  catalogues. 


The  New  York  Club  is  expending  about  $250,000  in 
remodeling,  or  rather,  rebuilding,  its  clubhouse  in 
East  Fifty-eighth  street.  The  new  riding  ring  when 
completed  will  be  a  trifle  larger  than  any  other  in  this 
country,  with  an  area  of  18.000  square  feet.  It  is  to 
be  173}  feet  long  and  104  feet  wide.  To  make  room 
for  i  high  basement  stable  containing  400  stalls  the 
level  of  the  ring  will  be  raised  ten  feet  above  the 
6treet. 

The  directors  of  the  Kings  County  Agricultural 
Association  held  a  meeting  August  1st.  and  made 
many  arrangements  in  regard  to  the  Central  Califor- 
nia Fair  to  be  held  at  Hanford  in  October.  There  is 
much  enthusiasm  in  Kings  county  over  the  fair  this 
year,  and  an  effort  will  be  made  to  make  it  the  best 
fair  yet  held  there.  A  number  of  handsome  Bilver 
cupB  have  already  been  donated  for  the  live  stcek 
department.  

The  Kings  county  supervisors  have  made  a  va'uable 
discovery  in  making  new  roads.  After  the  roadway 
is  thoroughly  oiled  they  cover  the  oil  with  straw. 
This  they  claim  prevents  the  oii  from  adhering  to  the 
wheels  and  horses'  hoofs,  but  at  the  same  time  allows 
the  vehicles  and  animals  to  thoroughly  work  the  oil 
into  the  ground,  thus  making  a  smooth  roadway  with- 
out the  usual  waste  of  oil  by  its  being  carried  off  on 
wheels  and  horses'  hoofs. 


Lou  Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon  1:581,  etc.,  has  a 
new  representative  in  the  list  in  her  great  grand- 
daughter Sally  Pointer  2:13},  owned  by  Mr.  J.  C. 
Adams  of  Phoenix,  Arizona.  Sally  Pointer  is  by  Sky 
Pointer,  own  brother  to  Star  Pointer,  and  her  dam  is 
Sister,  matinee  record  2:20  by  McKinney,  second  dam 
Aiieen  2:26*  by  Anteeo,  third  dam  Lou  Milton  by 
Milton  Medium.  Sally  Pointer  stands  J6.2,  weighs 
1320  pounds  and  is  one  of  the  largest  mares  on  the 
turf.  

John  Phippen  has  a  mare  with  a  colt  at  her  side 
that  is  a  futurity  candidate,  bred  well  enough  for  and 
looking  to  have  class  enough  to  win  first  money. 
The  mare  is  Athene  by  Dexter  Prince,  dam  Athena 
by  Electioneer,  second  dam  Ashby  by  Gen.  Benton, 
third  dam  the  thoroughbred  mare  Ashland -by  Ash- 
land. The  colt  was  foaled  in  April  this  year  and  is  by 
that  great  racehorse,  Kinney  Lou  2:07},  son  of  Mc- 
Kinney 2:11}.  If  there  isn't  race  winning  blood  in 
this  colt,  there  was  never  one  foaled  with  it  in  his 
veins.  McKinney,  Dexter  Prince,  Electioneer  and 
thotoughbred  is  the  combination. 


The  Occidental  Hotel  at  Santa  Rosa  has  been  en- 
larged by  a  very  handsome  pressed  brick  addition 
containing  100  rooms  ensuite  and  single.  There  is 
not  an  inside  room  in  the  building,  and  all  are  hand- 
somely furnished,  with  bath,  hot  and  cold  water, 
electric  lights,  etc.  Messrs.  Bain  and  QuiDn,  the  pro- 
prietors,  have  made  The  Occidental  the  finest  hotel 
north  of  San  Francisco.  A  new  electric  elevator  of 
the  most  approved  pattern  has  also  been  installed. 
The  Occidental  will  be  headquarters  for  horsemen 
during  the  meeting  of  the  Breeders  Association  which 
opens  August  16th. 

Who  will  win  the  Califorria  Stake,  $2000,  at  the 
Breeder6  Meeting  at  Santa  Rosa?  There  were  17 
original  entries,  but  probably  not  more  than  6even  or 
eight  will  face  the  starter.  On  form  thus  far  displayed 
the  race  looks  to  be  between  Charley  T.  by  Zombro, 
Oro  Belmont  and  Little  Babe.  There  are  several 
prospective  starters,  however,  that  have  not  made 
their  appearance  at  the  meetings  up  to  this  time,  that 
may  be  "the  goods."  No  one  can  tell  just  how  fast 
the  race  will  be  trotted,  but  Morosco's  mark  of  2:12 
last  year  will  probably  not  be  equalled.  Field  tickets 
should  be  in  demand  when  the  race  is  called. 


Mr.  Chas.  Griffiths' great  mare,  Bon  Bon  2:26,  was 
about  eighteen  years  old  when  Bhe  died  at  Pleasanton 
in  1903,  but  as  Macbeth  said  of  Lady  Macbeth,  "she 
should  have  died  hereafter."  Word  comes  from  the 
East  that  Bon.  Bon's  colt,  Rector  by  Rect  2:16},  took 
a  pacing  record  of  2:10}  at  Saugus  two  weeks  ago, 
giving  her  three  standard  performers,  the  other 
two  being  Bonnie  Direct  2:05}  and  Bonsilene  2:14}. 
Rector's  sire,  Rect,  is  by  Direct  2:05},  out  of  Lilly 
Stanley  2:17}.  Bonnie  Steinway,  son  of  Steinway  and 
Bon  Bon  will  be  another  2:10  performer  to  be  added  to 
the  list  soon,  as  he  worked  a  mile  in  2:08  at  Pleasanton 
a  few  weeks  ago.  Bon  Bon's  family  is  destined  to  be 
one  of  the  great  ones  within  a  few  yearB. 


Mr.  E.  E.  SmatherB,  who  deserted  the  trotters  a 
couple  of  seasons  ago  and  put  a  great  stable  of  run- 
ning horses  together,  has  made  arrangements  with 
the  Fasig-Tipton  company  to  dispose  at  public  auc- 
tion of  his  entire  racing  string.  Mr.  Smatbers  has 
been  unfortunate  in  his  running  venture,  it  being  Baid 
that  he  has  lost  during  the  past  two  seasons  $450,000, 
outside  of  the  expense  of  the  stable.  Mr.  Smatbers 
does  not  say  that  he  will  again  put  together  a  stable 
of  trotters,  but  says  he  will  quit  the  runners  for  a 
time,  anyway.  When  he  went  over  to  the  runners  he 
disposed  of  one  of  the  greatest  stables  of  light  harness 
horse  ever  put  together  by  an  amateur  driver. 
Among  them  was  Major  Delmar,  the  champion  trot- 
ting gelding  and  winner  of  the  famous  Memphis  Gold 
Cup.  _____ 

A  correspondent  who  was  at  the  Alameda  track 
last  Sunday  sends  us  the  following  account  of  a 
race  held  there  that  day.  The  race  was  a  match  for 
$100  a  side,  made  by  the  well-known  and  popular  road 
drivers,  W.  Grondola  an^  Louie  Tesio,  the  former 
starting  Lady  May,  and  the  latter  Gypsy.  The  race 
was  won  by  Lady  May  in  straight  heats  after  one  of 
the  best  contested  races  ever  seen  in  Alameda  county. 
Great  interest  was  taken  in  the  race  as  the  principals 
are  both  popular  members  of  the  Oakland  Driving 
Club.  A  large  crowd,  estimated  at  2000  people,  saw 
the  sport,  many  ladies  being  present.  Much  money 
changed  hands,  favoriteism  being  evenly  divided. 
The  judges  were  the  well-known  and  efficient  horse- 
men, A.  G.  Andrews,  Harold  D.  McGill  and  George 
Rafetta.  L.  Jackson,  the  old-time  driver,  acted  aB 
starter.  The  race  was  conducted  in  a  most  satis- 
factory manner,  the  heats  being  fairly  and  honestly 
trotted  and  the  officials  receiving  high  praise  on  their 
prompt  and  fair  decisions. 

Jos.  Cuicello,  the  well-known  trainer,  was  the  victim 
of  a  peculiar  accident  last  Tuesday  evening  while  on 
the  ferry  steamer  Tiburon  as  she  was  making  her 
landing  at  Tiburon.  The  steamer  was  juBt  rounding 
into  the  slip  when  her  forward  steering-rod  broke. 
She  was  beaded  straight  for  the  dolphin  on  the  other 
side  of  the  slip  at  the  moment,  and  when  the  accident 
occurred  continued  her  course  and  jammed  her  nose 
into  the  dolphin.  Tbe  force  of  the  impact  snapped 
the  flagpole  en  her  forward  end,  and  a  piece  fifteen 
feet  long  fell  to  to  the  deck  below.  Cuicello  and  an- 
other passenger  for  Santa  Rosa  were  struck  down  by 
the  piece,  and  as  a  result  will  bear  ugly  scalp  wounds 
for  some  time  to  come.  Both  men  received  immediate 
treatment  at  the  hands  of  Army  Surgeon  Cummings, 
who  is  stationed  a't  Angel  Island,  and  who  was  on  the 
boat  at  the  time.  While  their  injuries  were  being 
attended,  both  men  missed  the  last  train  for  their 
homes  in  Santa  Rosa.  President  Foster  stayed  with 
them  and  offered  to  send  them  to  Santa  Rosa  on  a 
special  train,  but  this  offer  was  declined,  the  men 
saying  that  they  were  all  right  and  could  spend  the 
evening  in  Tiburon  as  well  as  not.  Cuicello  might 
have  escaped  without  injury,  but  he  saw  that  a  lady 
in  front  of  him  was  directly  in  line  of  the  descending 
flagpole,  and  jumped  forward  in  an  effort  to  keep  it

May  Ear),  a  handsome  four-year-old  mare  is  the 
most  talked  about  animal  at  the  Lexington  track. 
The  Stock  Farm  says  she  is  a  four-year-old  bay  mare 
by  San  Mateo  2:13J  (son  of  Simmons  2:28),  dam  Annie 
Earl  by  Earlmont.  In  her  three-year-old  form  in 
1904  she  trotted  a  trial  mile  in  2:104,  caught  by  a  dozen 
watches,  and  a  few  days  ago  stepped  the  full  length 
of  the  Lexington  fairgrounds  track  in  2:09},  driven 
bv  Mike  Bowerman.  In  working  this  mile  May  Earl 
trotted  tbe  last  half  in  1:014,  and  the  last  quarter  in 
3H  seconds  Twenty  minutes  later  she  was  driven  a 
mi'le  in  about  2:12,  it  being  her  fourth  mile  that  day. 
No  other  four  year-old  trotter  has  ever  equalled  this 
work  over  the  Lexington  track  in  July.  May  Earl 
possesses  a  pure  gait  and  trots  on  her  own  courage. 
She  is  owned  by  John  B.  Stewart,  who  also  owns  her 
two-year-old  full  sister,  a  good  gaited  filly  that  has 
already  beaten  2:30  in  her  work. 

Guy  Fortune  has  been  retired  from  the  racing 
ranks  and  from  now  out  he  will  shine  in  the  show 
ring  instead  of  an  the  trotting  track,  says  an  ex- 
change This  handsome  ohestnut  stallion  has  a  trot- 
ting record  of  2:114,  and  Scott  Hudson  was  of  tbe 
ODinion  that  he  was  destined  for  a  record  of  2:06. 
When  Hudson  broke  up  his  racing  stable  Guy  Fortune 
was  sent  to  Ed  Geers  but  the  latter  did  not  have  a 
chance  to  get  acquainted  with  the  trotter  before  he 
was  purchased  by  Lawrence  Jones  of  Louisville.  Tbe 
latter  thinks  that  Guy  Fortune  will  make  the  fastest 
high  stepper  in  the  world.  He  has  lots  of  action 
forward  and  back  and  be  will  need  but  a  few  lessons 
in  order  to  Bhine  in  his  new  role.  Guy  Fortune  is 
but  another  illustration  of  the  fact  that  the  Ameri- 
can trotter  is  the  greatest  all-round  trotter  in  the 
world  Many  of  tbe  best  blue  ribbon  winners  in  the 
high  stepping  show  ring  classes  have  been  trotters 
with  records.  Unfortunately  for  the  breeders  these 
horses  have  too  often  lost  their  identity  when  con- 
verted into  high  steppers,  and  not  infrequently  the 
hackney  has  been  accorded  the  credit  which  right- 
fully belonged  to  the  trotter.  Horse  show  enthusiasts 
when  proclaiming  that  the  trotter  is  merely  a  slab- 
sided  speed  marvel  should  be  reminded  of  the  facts  in 
the  case.  Speed  and  beauty  go  hand  and  hand  with 
the  up-to-date  breeder. 

The  very  fast  pacing  mare,  Little  Squaw  2:044,  has 
joined  the  double-gaited  record  brigade.  She  staried 
as  a  trotter  recently  at  Nevada,  Missouri,  and  won 
the  race  easily,  getting  a  mark  of  2:22}. 


Dan  Patoh  1:56  has  made  his  start  as  a  sire.  Sailor 
2:174;,  a  winner  in  the  Gas  Belt  Circuit,  is  by  the 
champion.  

On  the  opening  day  of  the  Windsor  meeting,  George 
Ketchum  of  Toledo,  owner  of  Cresceus,  purchased  for 
George  McMillan,  Calgary,  Northwest  Territory,  the 
sensational  pacer  Gallagher  2:034,  at  a  price  reported 
to  be  in  the  neighborhood  of  $10,000.  Gallagher  will 
be  shipped  to  England,  where  he  will  be  raced  in  the 
stable  of  Walter  Winans. 

The  Canadian  Ice  Racing  Circuit  for  next  winter 
has  been  organized  and  an  effort  will  be  made  to  con- 
duct the  racing  on  the  same  lines  as  the  regular  sum- 
mer meetings  are  conducted.  The  circuit  members 
and  dates  are:  Toronto,  December  27th  to  28th ;  Orillia, 
January  3d  to  4th;  Port  Parry,  January  9th  to  10th; 
Lindsay,  January  13th  tol4th;  Peterborough,  January 
19th  to  20th;  Port  Hope,  January  26th  to  27th;  Picton, 
January  31st  to  February  1st;  Belleville,  February  3d 
to  4th;  Kingston,  February  8th  to  9th.  Ottawa  and 
Montreal  will  follow  wit"h  meetings  of  longer  duration. 


Ellamore,  three-year-old  record  2:294.  by  Barbnmore, 
is  one  of  the  most  attractive  mares  driven  on  the  New 
York  speedway,  and  at  a  matinee  there  last  week 
trotted  a  heat  in  2:22|.  Her  second  dam  is  Echora 
2:23},  the  dam  of  Direct  2:054. 

"Marque"  says  a  very  curious  feature  of  the  three- 
heat  plan  in  vogue  at  Detroit  is  the  fact  that  a  horse 
can  win  two  heats  of  a  race,  thus  getting  two-thirds 
of  first  money  and  by  being  shut  out  in  the  third  heat 
lose  the  race  and  with  it  the  pool  money.  If  a  driver 
has  an  incentive  to  cheat  this  plan  puts  a  marked  pack 
of  cards  in  his  hands  and  encourages  him  to  use  it. 
It's  a  case  of  getting  the  money  coming  and  going. 
For  instance:  A  is  sold  favorite  for  the  race  and, 
after  winning  the  first  heat,  is  a  more  pronounced 
favorite  than  ever.  His  managers  buy  all  the  fields 
against  him  but  play  him  in  the  books  to  win  the 
second  heat.  He  wins  the  second  heat  and  then  his 
managers  find  it  possible  to  buy  the  field  against  him 
for  a  song.  He  makes  a  break  and  gets  shut  out  in  the 
third  heat,  thus  making  it  impossible,  under  the  con- 
ditions of  the  race,  to  win  the  money  bet  on  the  result 
of  the  race.  The  consequence  is  that  he  has  won  two- 
thirds  of  first  money;  won  all  the  money  bet  on  him 
to  win  the  first  and  second  heats  and  yet  has  lost  the 
race.  

Chas.  C.  Woodmansee,  aged  30  years,  son  of  the 
well-known  Minneapolis  horseman,  Daniel  W.  Wood- 
mansee, fell  from  a  wharf  at  San  Diego  last  Sunday 
while  fishing,  and  was  drowned. 

Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels  is  in  New  York,  where  on  the 
30th  inst.  his  annual  consignment  of  thoroughbred 
yearlings  from  his  Napa  Stock  Farm  will  be  sold  at 
public  auction  by  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company.  There 
are  eighteen  head  in  this  consignment  by  im- 
ported Solitaire  II  and  Marius  II,  and  several  others 
by  Imported  Crighton,  imported  The  Judge,  imported 
St.  Symphorien  and  the  well  known  horse  Libertine. 
While  last  year's  consignment  from  this  farm  was  an 
especially  fine  lot  of  yearlings,  the  youngsters  that 
Superintendent  Geo.  W.  Berry  will  take  over  this 
year  are  said  by  those  who  have  seen  them  to  be  the 
best  and  highest  class  lot  of  yearlings  ever  bred  on  a 
California  Stock  Farm. 


Angle,  the  winner  of  the  Merchants'  and  Manu- 
facturers' Stake  at  Detroit,  was  bred  in  Lexington  by 
Dr.  O.  J.  Phelps.  Her  wonderful  performance  again 
repudiates  the  often  advanced  theorp  that  the  first 
foal  will  be  worthless  Angle  is  the  fi"rst  foal  of  Lena 
Rivers,  by  Gambonita,  a  son  of  Gambetta  Wilkes. 
Lena  Rivers  did  not  race,  but  was  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  show  and  buggy  mares  ever  seen  around 
Lexington.  She  also  had  a  world  of  speed,  for  her 
owner,  Dr.  Phelps,  has  often  been  heard  to  say  that 
Lena  Rivers  could  step  a  mile  to  a  buggy  along  the 
turnpike  from  2:27  to  2:30.  Angle  is  by  Axtell,  one  of 
the  highest  priced  t'-olting  stallions  ever  sold.  She 
was  developed  at  the  Kentucky  Trotting  Horse  Breed- 
ers Association  track  in  the  hands  of  Mike  and  George 
Bowerman  and  later  in  the  hands  of  W.  F.  Freeman, 
She  was  bought  from  Bowerman  Bros,  by  Mr.  Free- 
man the  summer  she  was  a  three-year-old  for  a  short 
price.  Later  in  the  year  she  worked  a  mile  in  2:15. 
the  half  in  1:03}  and  the  quarter  in  30}  seconds.  As  a 
four-year-old  she  worked  a  mile  in  2:10  and  behind 
the  wind  shield  a  mile  in  2:06}.  The  fall  Angle  was  a 
four  year-old  Mr.  Freeman  sold  her  to  Calvin  Morris, 
of  Cleveland,  for  $15,000.—  Kentucky  Farmer. 


A  Great  Mile  for  Derbertha. 


There  is  sometimes  a  great  difference  between 
theory  and  fact.  According  to  the  trotting  instinct 
theorists  the  world's  record-breaking  trotters  of  to- 
day should  be  those  which  inherit  the  most  trotting 
instinct  and  the  least  running  blood,  through  the 
near  ancestors  of  both  sire  and  dam.  There  are 
thousands  of  trotting  stallions  whose  dams  were  much 
more  strongly  bred  in  trotting  lines  than  was  the  dam 
of  Sidney  Dillon,  yet  he  sired  the  world's  champion 
trotter,  Lou  Dillon  1:584.  There  were  thousands 
whose  dams  had  much  more  trotting  inheritance  than 
did  the  dam  of  Directum  2:05},  yet  he  holds  the 
world's  champion  record  for  four-year-old  trotters, 
Speed  ability  is  just  as  essential  to  record-breaking 
trotters  as  is  trotting  instinct. — American  Horse 
Breeder.  

With  the  fad  for  automobiles  at  high-water  mark  it 
is  rather  surprising  that  the  carriage  builders  of  New 
York  should  be  experiencing  one  of  the  best  summer 
seasons  they  have  known  in  five  years.  Such  is  the 
report  from  nearly  every  house  in  the  trade,  however. 
As  showing  the  improvement  in  business  since  last 
year  one  of  the  oldest  builders  of  high-grade  work  in 
New  York  says  their  deliveries  to  July  15  were  only 
12  short  of  the  entire  number  of  carriages  sold  by 
them  in  1904.  Not  only  is  the  demand  for  carriages 
healthy,  but  the  sales  of  horses  in  New  York  and 
Chicago  thus  far  this  year  exceed  those  of  the  corre- 
sponding period  last  season  by  about  10,000  head  in 
each  city.  The  increase  is  remarkable  in  view  of  the 
immense  pressure  of  vast  capital  to  crowd  horses  out. 
Motor  vehicles  are  being  promoted  at  enormous  cost 
to  the  makers  and  users,  yet  opposition  to  horses 
only  seems  to  emphasize  their  utility  in  all  industry 
and  commerce. — New  York  Herald. 


One  of  the  three-year-old  trotters  being  talked 
about  at  Cleveland  is  Carrie  McKerron,  a  daughter  of 
John  A.  McKerron  2:04}  and  Carrie  Onward  2:144. 

The  show  horse  and  the  speed  horse  are  not  so  far 
apart  as  some  imagine,  especially  if  they  are  bred  in 
trotting  lines.  Some  time  ago  John  Stewart,  the 
dealer  of  Lexington,  Ky  ,  bought  for  show  purposes  a 
very  handsome  bay  horse  by  Bow  Bells  2:19},  dam 
Belle  Cassett  2:13},  and  a  few  days  ago  it  was  dis- 
covered that  in  addition  to  being  a  show  horse  and  a 
high  actor  he  is  also  gifted  with  speed.  The  first  time 
he  was  asked  to  trot  a  mile  he  turned  the  trick  in  2:50; 
the  second  time  in  2:40,  and  the  third  time  he  stepped 
the  distance  in  2:284,  the  last  quarter  in  35  seconds. 

The  Japanese  government,  through  B.  Hirosawa 
and  T.  Hayashi  of  Tokio,  and  H  Murai  of  London, 
have  closed  a  deal  in  this  country  for  stock  valued  at 
$110,000,  and  the  horses  will  go  forward  on  their  long 
journey  to  tbe  island  Empire  about  August  1st,  start- 
ing from  the  Ideal  Stock  Farm  at  Ease  Aurora,  writes 
Frank  B.  Smith  in  Horse  World-  The  purchase  in- 
cludes 17  thoroughbred  racers,  11  trotting-bred  stal- 
lions, 2  hackney  fillies  and  4  hackney  stallions.  The 
34  animals  thus  averaged  about  $3235  apiece,  and 
the  sale  is  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  important 
transactions  in  the  history  of  the  breeding  industry. 
Superintendent  John  Bradburn  of  the  Ideal  Stock 
Farm  conducted  the  negotiations  for  the  sellers,  while 
the  Japanese  had  tbe  invaluable  experience  of  John 
Mackay,  manager  of  the  famous  El  Paso  Stable  ot  J. 
B.  Haggin,  in  their  selections,  beside  a  veterinary 
surgeon.  The  animals  will  go  from  Buffalo  to  the 
Pacific  Coast  in  three  special  cars  on  an  express  train 
schedule.  Three  careful  trainers  will  be  in  charge 
and  when  the  long  voyage  over  the  Pacific  iB  begun, 
they  will  accompany  the  horses  until  they  are  de- 
livered in  Japan,  when  they  will  return  home.  Their 
expenses  both  ways  and  the  usual  rate  of  wages,  will 
be  paid  by  the  Mikado's  government,  in  order  that 
the  horses  may  arrive  in  their  new  homes  in  the  best 
possible  condition.  The  deal  was  facilitated  by  the 
fact  that  the  Ideal  Farm  was  formerly  known  as  the 
Village  Farm,  and  some  four  years  ago  the  Hamllns 
sold  the  Japanese  a  carload  of  horses  whloh  proved 
so  satisfactory  that  they  sought  another  and  a  larger 
consignment  from  the  same  breeders.  It  is  believed 
that  when  the  price  paid  for  the  animals  is  added  to 
the  amounts  expended  in  bringing  them  to  Japan, 
and  the  disbursements  for  wages  and  expenses  are 
also  included,  that  the  total  cost  of  each  animal  will 
far  exceed  that  of  any  other  similar  purchase  ever 
made  for  a  foreign  government.  Mr.  Hirosawa,  who 
has  been  in  Buffalo  for  several  weeks,  is  authority  for 
the  statement  that  the  animals  will  be  used  solely  to 
improve  the  breed  of  the  native  horses,  and  that  there 
will  be  other  purchases  made  in  the  United  States, 
but  no  more  in  the  vicinity  of  Buffalo.  The  three 
representatives  of  Japan  will  now  journey  to  Europe, 
and  attend  the  convention  of  veterinary  surgeons  held 
at  BudaPesth  in  August. 


Pleasanton,  July  23,  1905. 

One  of  the  greatest  miles  ever  seen  at  the  Pleasan- 
ton race  track  was  driven  by  Farmer  Bunch  behind 
Derbertha,  full  sister  to  Don  Derby  2:04},  Diablo  2:09}, 
Oywho  2:094,  etc.  The  Farmer  had  noised  it  around 
that  he  could  drive  her  a  mile  in  2:10  or  better. 
There  were  a  few  that  doubted  it  so  the  Farmer  said 
he  would  show  them,  so  quite  a  crowd  assembled  at 
the  Judge's  stand  to  watch  the  performance.  I  will 
give  you  the  mileB  just  as  she  paced  them.  The  mare 
was  brought  on  the  track  and  warmed  up  a  mile  in 
2:30,  the  second  mile  was  in  2:24,  la6t  half  in  1:08,  the 
third  mile  was  in  2:19,  thelast  half  in  1:04,  last  quarter 
in  30  seconds.  The  Farmer  then  told  the  boys  he 
would  be  ready  in  twenty  minutes  to  make  the  trial. 
A  runner  was  brought  out  this  time  aDd  after  scoring 
three  or  four  time?  they  were  given  the  word.  Der- 
bertha paced  the  first  quarter  in  33  seconds,  the  half 
in  1:05}  and  the  three-quarters  in  1:38}.  In  comiDg 
in  to  the  stretch  she  made  a  disastrous  break  and 
finished  the  mile  in  2:12}.  Every  body  thought 
Bunch  wouldn't  try  again  but  the  Farmer  said  he 
would  be  back  in  twenty  minutes  so  all  waited. 
Hardly  any  thought  she  would  go  in  2:10  let  alone 
beating  it.  She  scored  two  or  three  times  and  was 
given  the  word.  She  went  the  first  quarter  in  32  sec- 
onds, to  the  half  in  1:04,  three  quarters  in  1:364  and 
the  mile  in  2:07}. 

The  mile  was  timed  by  Mr.  Griffith,  Dr.  Boucher 
George  A.  Kelley,  Mr.  Ronan,  Billy  De  Ryder  and 
sjyeral  others,  so  there  is  no  mistake  but  what  the 
time  is  correct.  Some  had  it  a  little  faster.  Thi8 
equals  the  track  record  held  by  Anaconda  and  Search- 
light. Searchlight  was  driven  by  the  late  Thomas 
Keating  and  Anaconda  was  driven  by  the  late  Johnny 
Blue,  and  both  horses  had  records  better  than  2:05 
when  they  did  it,  and  it  waB  done  in  the  winter  time, 
when  the  track  is  supposed  to  be  faster  than  it  is  now. 
Last  year  on  the  27th  of  July  at  our  race  meeting, 
Billy  Red  paced  the  fastest  mile  of  the  meeting  2:124 
and  Tom  Carneal  took  a  record  of  2:13.  They  went 
to  Santa  Rosa  and  Billy  Red  forced  Tom  Carneal  to 
pace  in  2:08}  his  present  record  and  Billy  Red  took  a 
record  of  2:10.  So  you  see  that  the  Pleasanton  track 
is  not  the  fastest  track  in  the  summer  time.  Every- 
body agreed  that  if  Derbertha  was  taken  to  Santa 
Rosa  and  started  that  she  would  go  a  mile  in  2:05  or 
better.  Derbertha  wears  no  rigging  of  any  kind ,  goes 
with  alow  head,  wears  a  10-ounce  shoe  in  front  and 
64-ounces  behind,  a  pair  of  heel  boots  in  front  and 
coronet  boots  behind.  She  Is  six  years  old  and  about 
15.2  hands  high,  will  weigh  about  1075,  in  color  is  a 
dark  chestnut.  A  lady  can  drive  her  any  place.  She 
is  the  property  of  Robert  Niles,  of  Eureka,  Humboldt 
county.  She  is  the  first  purchase  he  ever  made  in 
the  race  horse  line  and  he  is  to  be  congratulated  on 
owning  such  a  great  mare.  Mr.  Niles  also  owns  the 
dam  of  Lady  Waldstein  and  she  is  the  dam  of  that 
sensational  pacing  colt  at  Los  Angeles  which  paced  a 
miie  in  2:074  last  year.  He  is  by  a  son  of  Direct.  I 
heard  Mr.  Salisbury  say  if  they  would  drive  him  a 
mile  that  fast  and  let  him  time  him,  he  would  give 
$10,000  for  him.  Mr.  Niles  owns  a  full  sister  and  full 
brother  to  Lady  Waldstein,  and  a  filly  by  Lecco 
2:09}  out  of  the  old  mare,  so  it  looks  like  he  was 
starting  in  the  business  in  the  right  way.  Mr.  Niles 
expects  to  race  Derbertha  down  the  Grand  Circuit 
next  year  and  I  hops  she  will  be  another  Sweet  Marie, 
and  she  surely  looks  it  now.  She  will  be  given  slow 
work  for  a  while  and  then  let  up  on  until  next  winter 
when  she  will  be  prepared  for  the  big  events  over 
East.  Rail  Bird. 

What  They  Think  of  the  Breeders  Ass'n. 

The  following  is  from  an  editoral  in  the  Fresno 
Democrat:  Fresno  enjoyed  laBt  week  four  days  of 
extraordinary  and  honest  horse  racing.  That  race 
meet  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' 
Association  with  its  results  attracted  the  notice  of 
horsemen  all  over  the  country  and  therefore  it  proved 
one  of  the  best  advertisements  that  Fresno  could 
posBibly  have  had.  But  aside  from  thiB  consideration, 
.there  was  another  feature  which  has  not  been  given 
the  public  notice  It  deserves.  That  is  that  some  of 
the  best  California  bred  race  horses  were  assembled 
for  the  Fresno  meet,  that  extraordinary  good  racing 
was  the  result  with  fast  time  and  broken  track  recoi  ds; 
that  every  horse  entered  In  a  race  was  run  for  all  the 
speed  that  was  in  him  and  that  the  sport  was  con- 
ducted by  gentlemen  In  a  gentlemanly  fashion  for  tbe 
entertainment  of  gentlemen  and  ladles  and  unattended 
by  the  gambling  accompaniments,  whloh  unfortu- 
nately have  done  so  muoh  to  bring  the  turf  into  dis- 
repute. The  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' 
Association  is  one  factor  to  elevate  honest  horse  rao- 
ing  as  a  sport  fit  for  kings  and  to  Fresno,  which  last 
week  it  visited  for  the  second  time  In  its  career,  It 
will  ever  be  weloome.

SWEET    MARIE    2:04  3-4 

Owned  by  Wm.  Garland  of  L03  Angeles.         Driven  by  Alta  McDonald  of  New  York. 


Sweet  Marie  Beats  Tiverton. 


"Money  makes  the  mare  go,"  according  to  the  old 
proverb,  and  perhaps  Sweet  Marie  will  not  do  her 
level  best  unless  the  money  is  at  the  wire.  At  Phil- 
adelphia two  weeks  ago  when  she  and  Tiverton  met, 
they  raced  for  a  share  of  the  gate  receipts.  There 
was  not  a  very  large  crowd  present  and  Sweet  Marie 
refused  to  trot  her  best,  making  disastrous  breaks  in 
every  heat.  Like  a  petted  prima  donna  that  refuses 
to  warble  her  best  notes  to  a  small  house,  Sweet  Marie 
perhaps  took  a  look  at  the  grand  stand  and  concluded 
that  she  would  not  show  her  fastest  gait  for  such  a 
small  return,  and  let  Tiverton  walk  away  with  the 
race  while  she  indulged  in  a  few  ''jimmies"  and 
objected  to  being  d  riven  so  hard  for  such  a  small  sum. 

There  was  $5000  up  at  Readville  Thursday,  how- 
ever,and  McKinney's  daughter  shook  her  locks,  cast 
her  eye  at  the  big  bag  of  gold  and  says  "Here's  where 
I  will  6how  you  whether  Tiverton  can  beat  me  a  two- 
in*three  or  any  other  old  race."  So  she  went  at  him 
the  first  heat  and  made  his  driver  hustle  to  beat  hei 
half  a  length.  In  the  second  heat  she  began  to  trot 
her  best  a  little  sooner  and  when  the  stretch  was 
reached  she  had  Tiverton  extended  to  bis  utmos.  and 
beat  him  a  neck.  He  was  tired  then,  and  when  she 
collared  him  on  the  third  heat,  Tiverton  was  game  as 
a  pebble  but  at  the  distance  post  was  "all  in"  and 
she  jogged  to  the  wire  a  length  in  front  of  him.  We 
will  let  the  Associated  Press  tell  the  story  of  the  race. 

Readville,  Mass.,  Aug.  3— California  and  New 
York  met  today  at  Readville  track,  and  when  the 
contest  of  the  spetd  ended  the  honors  were  awarded 
to  the  Pacific  slope.  Id  one  of  the  finest  speed  con- 
tests ever  6een  on  any  race  course,  Sweet  Marie 
defeated  Tiverton  two  out  of  three  heats,  thereby 
winning  for  her  owner,  William  Garland,  of  Los 
Angeles,  a  purse  of  85000. 

It  was  2:30  when  Alia  McDonald,  behind  Sweet 
Marie,  and  John  Howell  with  Tiverton,  appeared  for 
the  first  heat,  the  latter  getting  the  pole  on  thetosp, 
After  two  preliminary  scores  all  was  In  readiness,  and 
the  first  time  down  they  got  the  word,  with  Tlvertoa 
a  saddle  girth  In  the  lead.  This  advantage  he  In- 
creased until  he  swung  down  the  stretch  for  home, 
when  Sweet  Marie  reached  his  wheel,  but  the  gelding 
won  handily  by  half  a  length.  Sweet  Marie  was 
under  a  hard  drive.  The  time  2:05}  was  the  trotting 
record  of  the  year,  beating  that  of  Dr.  Strong  at 
Detroit  last  week  by  half  a  second. 


In  the  second  heat.  McDonald  had  Sweet  Marie 
right  on  her  stride  and  went  away  with  Tiverton  at  a 
whirlwind  gait.  For  a  few  strides  the  mare  showed  in 
front  and  then  the  gelding  forged  ahead,  leading  at 
the  quarter  by  a  length.  This  time  McDonald  made 
his  drtve  earlier,  reaching  Tiverton  at  the  three- 
quarters.  From  there  to  the  wire  was  witnessed  one 
of  the  most  desperate  finishes  ever  seen  on  a  track. 
The  6000  spectators  in  the  grandstand  were  aroused  to 
the  highest  pitch  of  excitement,  and  when  Sweet 
Marie  flashed  under  the  wire  a  winner  by  a  neck  the 
applause  was  deafening  and  continued  until  the  driver 
had  dismounted  and  weighed  in.     Time — 2:04}. 

In  the  third  and  final  heat  Tiverton  rushed  to  the 
front,  but  Sweet  Marie  yoked  him  on  the  lower  turn 
Howell  pushed  Tiverton  to  the  distance  post.  Then 
he  realized  that  he  was  beaten  and  considerably  eased 
his  horse,  the  mare  jogging  home  a  winner  by  an  open 
length.    Time— 2:06}. 

The  time  of  the  three  heats  was,  with  the  exception 
of  the  Cresceus-The  Abbot  race  at  Brighton  Beach, 
the  fastest  ever  trotted.  In  the  opinion  of  experienced 
horsemen  the  time  made  today  was  superior,  as  The 
Abbot  was  withdrawn  after  the  second  heat  and  Cres- 
ceus  went  the  mile  accompanied  by  a  runner  for  a 
pacemaker.    Summary:

GRAND    CIRCUIT   IN   BAD    SHAPE. 

Rain  Spoils  Close  of  Detroit  Meeting  and  Cleve- 
land Declares  Its  Races  Off. 


The  last  two  days  of  the  Detroit  Grand  Circuit 
meeting  gave  promise  of  some  very  high-class  raciog, 
but  a  heavy  rainstorm  upset  all  calculations  on  Fri- 
day, necessitating  the  postponement  of  the  finish  of 
several  events  until  Saturday,  when  a  continuation  of 
the  downpour  compelled  the  association  to  declare  all 
races  finished  as  they  stood  with  the  exception  of  the 
M.  &  M.  Consolation  Stake  which  was  by  unanimous 
consent  postponed  until  Monday  at  the  Cleveland 
track. 

Just  before  the  races  were  to  bsgin  at  Cleveland,  on 
Monday,  Mayor  Tom  Johnson  issued  a  proclamation 
stating  that  pool  selling  would  not  be  permitted  at 
the  track.  This  announcement,  coming  at  the  last 
moment,  created  consternation  among  horsemen  and 
the  members  of  the  Cleveland  Driving  Park  Associa- 
tion. At  the  meeting  of  the  Grand  Circuit  last  year 
pool  selling  was  prevented  by  the  authorities  at  Gl<m- 
ville  with  a  resulting  great  loss  to  the  Drivirg  Park 
Association.  When  Glenville  was  annexed  to  Cleve- 
land it  was  hoped  that  pool  selling  would  be  per- 
mitted, although  no  announcement  to  that  effect  could 
be  obtained  from  Mayor  Johnson. 

Early  on  Monday,  Chief  Kohler  of  the  local  Police 
Department,  acting  under  direction  of  Mayor  John- 
son, called  upon  Secretary  Dietrich  of  the  Driving 
Park  Association  and  informed  him  that  pool  selling 
would  not  be  permitted.     A  meetirg  of   the  officers  of

The  2:11  pace  was  the  last  race  of  the  day,  first 
money  going  to  the  East  View  Farm  mare  Josie,  who 
barely  saved  herd  isianceintbefirst  heat  by  phenom-

the  association  was  immediately  called,  and  it  was 
decided  to  finish  the  Merchants  and  Manufacturers 
Consolation  race,  which  was  unfinished  at  Detroit, 
and  then  abandon  the  meeting.  This  was  done  and 
all  gate  admission  fees  were  refunded,  together  with 
the  entrance  fees  of  horsemen.  It  was  at  first  in- 
tended to  transfer  the  races  to  Buffalo,  but  telegraph 
inquiry  revealed  the  fact  that  Buffalo  would  not  per- 
mit the  transfer  because  of  interference  with  the 
regular  race  week  there.  The  horsemen,  therefore, 
scattered,  some  of  them  going  to  Buffalo  and  else- 
where, and  some  of  them  remaining  at  Glenville  to 
work  out. 

THURSDAY  AT    DETROIT. 

The  first  race  on  the  program  was  the  2:15  trot,  for 
which  eleven  horses  scored  for  the  word.  Glenwood 
M.,  a  brown  horse  by  Bobby  Burns,  was  the  favorite 
in  this  event,  and  won  all  the  way  in  each  of  the  three 
heats,  although  Geers  made  the  hottest  kind  of  a 
drive  with  Turley  at  the  finish  of  every  mile  and  was 
second  in  each  heat.  The  time  was  fast,  and  the 
raoe  Btamps  Glenwood  M  as  a  good  one  that  will  be 
able  to  give  some  of  the  2:06  trotters  a  raoe  a  little 
later  in  the  season. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  Consolation,  with  five 
•tarters,  went  to  Hal  C,  who  won  the  first  two  heats, 
Bonnie  Wilkes  getting  the  third.  Br n  Walker  drove 
Albuta  In  the  first  heat  of  this  race,  but  the  judges 
did  not  like  the  way  he  handled  the  gelding  and  took 
him  out  the  sulky,  substituting  Curry,  who  improved 


shower  prevented  any  more  racing  and  the  final  heats 
of  these  races  went  over.  Two  of  the  fields  were 
small  but  the  2:06  pace  furnished  excitement  enough 
for  two  Tlays'  racing  In  the  opening  heat  of  this  race 
Hazel  Patch  piloted  a  bunch  of  fast  ones  to  the  dis- 
tance stand,  with  Baron  Gratton  and  Win  field  Stratton 
alternating  in  forcing  the  pace.  Right  in  front  of  the 
stand  Hazel  Patch  swerved  a  little  and  Stratton  won 
by  inches  only,  with  Baron  almost  even  with  Hazel. 
A  bad  drive  of  Lang,  behind  Ecstatic,  called  for  the 
attention  of  the  judges,  and  they  declared  all  bets  off. 
The  second  heat  was  a  wonderful  race  all  the  way, 
heads  separating  the  four  in  front.  Baron  Gratton 
won  by  one  stride  over  Riley  B  ,  while  the  rest  of  the 
bunch  were  in  almost  a  straight  line  across  the  track 
at  Riley's  neck.    It  was  the  best  finish  of  the  meeting. 

The  M.  and  M.  Consolation  saw  Getaway,  a  bad 
performer,  as  favorite.  He  broke  twice  badly,  but 
made  a  bruising  finish  with  Mi6S-in-Law.  In  the 
seonnd  heat  Miss-ln-Law  led  all  the  way  by  an  open 
length,  Getaway  breaking  so  badly  that  he  narrowly 
escaped  the  flag. 

The  first  heat  of  the  2:10  trot  was  eaBy  for  Zephyr, 
and  the  seoond  heat  was  equally  eaBy  for  Norman  B., 
owing  to  Zephyr's  bad  break. 

NO  RACING  SATCHDAY. 

Rain  fell  again  on  Saturday,  preventing  any  racing 
whatever  and  the  association  deoided  to  settle  the  2:06 
paoe  and  2:10  trot  according  to  the  standing  of  the 
horses  the  day  before.    The  finish  of  the  Consolation 


Wild  Horses  May  Be  Shot  in  Colorado. 

Stockmen  of  Routt  and  Rio  Blanco  counties,  in  the 
Western  part  of  Colorado,  for  several  years  have 
been  trying  to  get  rid  of  a  big  band  of  wild  horses 
that  inhabit  the  extreme  northwestern  part  of  the 
State  and  are  the  cause  of  endless  trouble,  says  the 
Denver  Record-Stockman.  It  is  claimed  that  there 
are  at  least  4000  head  in  the  numerous  bands  that 
roam  that  section,  and  every  horse  that  once  gets 
loose  adds  to  the  number.  It  is  claimed  that  mares 
even  break  away  from  fenced  pastures  when  the  call 
of  the'  wild  comes  from  the  stallion  leading  one  of 
these  bands,  and  once  they  get  in  one  of  these  wild 
bunches  they  are  hopelessly  lost  :<nd  become  as  wild 
as  the  worst  of  them. 

Efforts  to  round  up  these  horses  have  resulted  In  a 
few  hundred  being  captured,  but  it  is  claimed  the 
herds  are  increasing  notwithstanding  these  efforts. 
A  number  of  big  stockmen  in  the  western  part  of  the 
State  have  had  so  many  losses  that  they  are  openly 
advocating  that  these  wild  horses  be  killed  off  and 
that  a  hunt  be  organized  to  have  them  shot,  as  the 
only  practicable  method  of  ridding  that  section  of 
this  constant  menace.  Indeed,  it  is  claimed  that 
several  outfits  have  already  instructed  their  men  to 
shoot  these  horses  wherever  found.  The  new  stoci 
association  organized  at  Hayden  last  week  has  under 
consideration  the  matter  of  asking  the  State  board  of 
stock  inspection  commissioners  for  permission  to 
organize  a  general  hunt  to  wage  a  war  of  extermina- 
tion on  these  animals.  Speaking  of  the  matter,  Mr. 
McCrillis,  secretary  of  the  board,  said: 

"While  the  board  would  be  very  glad  to  see  these 
wild  horses  captured  or  destroyed,  they  would  natur- 
ally hesitate  about  giving  such  a  wild  license  to 
slaughter  them  for  fear  that  It  might  be  the  cause  of 
other  hoi  ses  being  shot.  There  is  one  plan,  however, 
that  might  produce  results,  and  that  is  to  kill  off  the 
stallions.  These  wild  horses  are  divided  into  small 
bands  of  mares,  each  led  by  a  stallion.  If  the  stallions 
could  be  killed  off  I  believe  that  the  mares  could  be 
rounded  up  more  readily  and  as  breeding  would  thus 
be  stopped  to  a  large  extent,  there  would  be  a  chance 
to  soon  get  rid  of  the  nuisance.  I  believe  the  board 
would  be  willing  to  grant  that  much  of  authority  at 
least." 

It  is  probable  that  the  matter  will  be  brought  to 
the  official  attention  of  the  board  very  shortly. 


Peter  C.  Kellogg  Dead.

ing of  harness  horses  that  ever  wielded  a  pen.  He 
wrote  common  sense  instead  of  theory  and  had  the 
ability  to  "hold  fast  that  which  Is  good"  and  discard 
everything  else  in  the  way  of  evidence. 

He  was  the  originator  of  combination  sales  of  fine 
horses,  introducing  the  system  among  breeders  in 
New  York  about  thirty  years  ago,  when  he  conducted 
an  auction  in  which  A.  B.  Darling,  of  the  Fifth  Avenue 
Hotel,  received  810,000  for  the  trotting  stallion, 
Kentucky  Prince.  Mr.  Kellogg  In  the  ensuing  fifteen 
years  eold  trotterB  aggregating  In  value  several 
millions  of  dollars.  He  obtained  from  E.  H.  Harrlman 
a  bid  of  841,000  for  Stamboul,  from  MarcuB  Daly  a 
bid  of  826,000  for  Mascot,  an  untried  two-year-old 
trotter,  and  from  J.  H.  ShulUa  bid  of  88500  for  Baron 
Rose,  a  yearling  trotter.  Commissions  on  his  Bales 
made  Mr.  Kellogg  wealthy. 

The  death  of  Peter  C.  Kellogg  la  a  dlstlDot  loss  to 
the  entire  country  and  particular]}  to  turf  journalism.

San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club. 

Southwest  wiDd  and  foggy  weather  conditions  pre- 
vailed at  Stow  lake  during  the  two  days'  fly-casting 
in  contest  No.  9  of  the  San  Francisco  Fly -Casting  Club. 

On  Saturday  the  degree  of  skillful  rod  and  line 
work  resulting  will  be  readily  understood  where  the 
average  percentage  of  every  contestant  save  two — one 
of  them  a  new  member — was  over  90  per  cent  in  each 
event  excepting  long  distance.  In  the  long  distance 
casting,  while  the  results  were  excellent  practically, 
the  wind  was  a  handicap  on  the  usual  long  casts  of 
from  100  to  120,  or  more  feet.  This  event,  while  it  is 
a  great  developer  for  work  on  a  trout  stream,  is  not 
of  the  importance  of  the  accuracy  and  delicacy  cast- 
ing. In  the  latter  events  the  rodsters  vie  with  each 
other  in  placing  the  barbless  red  fly  close  to  the 
anchored  buoys  gently  and  without  splash  of  line  or 
leader. 

This  is  the  work  that  tells  on  the  stream  when  cast- 
ing for  a  rise  and  strike  by  big  trout.  To  place  the 
artificial  lure  just  over  a  likely  place  or  near  a  fish, 
softly  and  without  disturbing  the  surface  of  the 
water,  and  with  line  and  leader  straight  and  ready  for 
proper  work  with  the  reel  is  the  ultimate  ambition  of 
every  trout  angler. 

In  the  lure  casting  event,  where  the  rod  wielders 
used  a  half-ounce  rubber  frog  and  cast  at  different 
buoys  from  sixty  to  one  hundred  feet  distant,  the  con- 
testants were  in  championship  form.  C.  G.  Young  in 
five  casts  scored  9S  1-15  per  cent,  Walter  D.  Mansfield 
and  T.  C.  Kierulff  98  par  cent  each,  and  Colonel  G.  O. 
Edwards  over  96  per  cent.  In  back  scores  both  Young 
and  Kierulff  exceeded  the  above  percentages.  This 
style  of  casting — bait  casting  it  is — is  in  vogue  for 
black  bass  fishing  principally. 

Sunday's  long  distance  work,  while  not  up  to  the 
average  by  reason  of  the  wind,  was  better  than  on 
the  preceding  day.  A  remarkable  improvement  is 
noticeable  in  the  accuracy  casting  of  Mr  Kierulff,  who 
scored  97  percent.  Messrs.  Mansfield,  C.  R  Kenniff 
and  Lane  made  top  notch  scores  in  the  delicacy 
event.  The  showing  of  Mr.  H.  B.  Sperry  is  almost 
phenomenal  for  a  contestant  of  one  season's  experi- 
ence at  the  lakeside. 

Saturday  Contest  No.  9,  Class  Series.  Stow  Lake,  July  29,

An  immense  fish,  resembling  a  monster  rockrod  in 
shape  and  darker  in  color,  but  many  times  as  large, 
was  caught  in  Monterey  bay,  near  Santa  Cruz,  on 
Wednesday  morning.  The  fish  weighed  310  pounds 
and  has  a  mouth  large  enough  to  swallow  a  good -sized 
boy.  It  was  caught  by  Louis  Beverino,  an  Italian 
fisherman  Local  fishermen  call  It  a  jewfish,  and  say 
that  It  is  many  years  since  one  of  the  species  has  been 
seen  on  that  part  of  the  Coast.  This  variety  of  fish  ie 
frequently  oaught  at  Catalioa  island.  It  was  the 
center  of  many  curious  spectators  on  the  beach  where 
it  was  placed  on  exhibition. 


Steelhead  are  about  due  In  the  Sequel  and  many 
anglers  who  have  had  the  pleasure  of  fishing  in  that 
Santa  Cruz  stream  know  what  Is  In  store  for  them. 

Ballard's  lake  black  m  eb  lining  is  still  worth  a  trip        Over  five  hundred  salmon  were  landed  one  day  re- 
to  Olivette.  oently  by  Santa  Cruz  fishing  boats. 


Santa  Cruz   Salmon  Fishing- 

Notwithstanding  that  the  run  of  salmon  up  to  th; 
present  time  in  Monterey  bay  has  been  phenomenal 
and  that  excellent  catches  are  being  made  every  day 
the  San  Jose  dailies  printed  an  article  deprecating  th< 
salmon  fishing  near  Santa  Cruz  that  aroused  the  ire 
and  justly  so,  of  public  spirited  Santa  Ciuz  citizenE 

la  reply  to  the  following  paragraph,  introductory 
to  a  letter  from  discouraged  or  unskillful  fishermen 
"Santa  Cruz  is  undergoing  a  lull  in  the  run  of  salmon. 
The  fish  have  failed  tne  angler  pretty  regularly  foi 
the  past  week,  and  local  lovers  of  the  sport,  who  are 
returning  from  the  Surf  City,  bring  rather  discourag- 
ing reports. 

The  Sentinel  states:    One  swallow  does  not  make  a 
summer,    neither  does  the   failure  of   the  San   JoseL 
anglers  to  catch  but  one  salmon  warrent  the  JlercuryA 
Herald  in  stating  that  "local  lovers  of  the  sport  *  *  * 
bring  rather  discouraging  reports." 

Manager  Fred  W.  Swanton  of  the  Casino  is  indig- 
nant that  such  reports  should  be  spread  by  such 
reputable  papers  as  the  Mercury  and  Herald.  He  said 
recently,  "Why  that  is  sheer  nonsense.  C.  G.  H.  Mc- 
Bride,  the  San  Jose  capitalist,  came  in  only  this 
morning  with  15  big  salmon,  a  party  of  Denver  ladies 
and  gentlemen  got  37  good  ones,  and  Captain  Jackson 
returned  from  the  morning's  outing  with  no  less  than 
45,  Uhden's  launch  got  42  and  Miss  Ethel  Bager  of 
San  Francisco  got2(J,  one  of  them  weighing  30  pounds, 
and— well,  is  that  enough?"  The  Sentinel  man  thought 
it  was  plenty  add  suggested  that  perhaps  Mr.  Don- 
nelly's launch  got  over  among  the  sea  oraDge  groves, 
or  the  forest  of  horse's  tails  and  sea  ferns,  which  the 
glass  bottomed  boat  has  just  discovered  near  Light- 
house point.  Who  knows?  At  any  rate,  it  would  be 
advisable  for  the  San  Jose  men  to  see  Mr.  Swanton 
about  the  best  fishing  grounds,  if  they  want  to  catch 
fish  and  uot  seaweed  " 

We  learn  from  Dr.  F.  B.  A.  Lewis  of  San  Jose, 
whose  cottage  is  across  the  river  at  Santa  Cruz  and 
who  goes  out  two  or  three  times  each  week  during 
the  6almon  season,  that  while  the  fish  have  been 
plentiful  in  the  bay  this  year  they  have  been  unusually 
erratic.  Generally,  after  a  few  days'  skirmishing 
about,  they  settle  in  some  one  locality,  where  they 
may  be  found  within  certain  limits  and  where  the 
launches  are  able  to  find  them  each  day.  The  season, 
thus  far,  has  been  somewhat  different;  they  are  in  one 
place  today  and  in  another  tomorrow.  On  the  5th  oF 
July  Dr  Lewis,  with  the  boatmen  of  a^launch,  in  six 
hours  landed  104  fine  salmon,  beside  o'ther  fish.  On 
the  7th  the  doctor  got  20,  and  so  this  number  is  con- 
stantly changing,  which  accounts  for  the  contradic- 
tory reports  in  the  newspapers. 

Without  doubt  the  variations  of  temperature  of  the 
present  season,  together  with  the  influences  upon  the 
constantly  moving  bait,  regulate  the  catches  of  each 
day.  One  thing  can  be  said  and  that  is,  there  is  no 
more  royal  sport  for  a  rod  and  reel  fisherman  than  in 
that  vicinity,  and  at  almost  any  time  in  the  summer. 
One  expert  fisherman,  who  resides  in  Boston  but  tries 
the  waters  of  all  the  States  where  good  sport  is  to  be 
had,  said  to  Dr.  Lewis,  with  whom  he  fished  last  sea- 
son, that  if  Eastern  men  believed  tbat  such  fishing 
for  salmon  in  the  open  sea  was  to  be  had  there,  there 
would  be  scores  who  would  cross  the  country  to  bave 
a  hand  in  it.  Possibly  people  expect  too  much — a 
half-dozen  fine  salmon  in  a  half  day  should  suffice  and 
are  surely  enough  for  any  reasonable  angler. 


ILEGAL    FISHING    NEAR     STOCKTON. 

Stockton  anglers  have  until  recently  enjoyed  ex- 
cellent fishing  in  the  slough  and  creeks  nearby  But 
of  late  serious  complaint  is  made  that  fish  are  getting 
scarcer  day  by  day.  This  is  but  a  reiteration  of 
similar  plaints  from  other  localities.  The  cause  for 
the  growing  scarcity  of  fish  is  the  alleged  prevailing 
evil — the  illegal  use  of  nets  at.d  the  non  observance  of 
the  law  which  prohib;ts  net  fishing  with  fixed  nets, 
on  Saturdays  and  Sundays,  and  the  illegal  netting  of 
black  bass. 

Fishing  not  lone  ago  was  very  good  in  North  street 
canal,  but  of  late  very  few  bass  have  been  caught  in 
those  waters.  It  is  believed  that  unscrupulous  fisher- 
men have  placed  nets  in  front  of  the  mouth  and  have 
stopped  the  fish  from  entering  the  canal. 

It  is  said  that  of  late  maoy  pounds  of  bass  have  been 
sold  by  peddlers  in  Stockton.  The  officers  say  there 
is  only  one  way  to  prove  that  fish  have  been  caught 
unlawfully  and  that  is  to  catch  the  men  at  work. 

Stockton  sportsmen  and  those  of  the  surrounding 
country  who  enjoy  fishing  are  in  sympathy  with  the 
efforts  of  the  Sheriff's  effice  in  trying  to  apprehend 
illegal  fishermen.  The  streams  near  tbat  city  were 
stocked  some  four  or  five  years  ago  with  black  and 
striped  bass,  and  at  the  present  time  the  waters  con- 
tain numerous  fish  Those  fishermen  who  have  been 
successful  in  the  past  in  catching  the  gamy  fishes  state 
that  of  late  they  have  not  been  so  successful.  Some- 
thing has  interfered  with  the  sport.  It  is  not  tbat  the 
supply  of  fish  has  diminished  on  account  of  lawful 
fishing,  but  the  real  cause  is  the  result  of  certain  un- 
lawful fishing  tbat  has  prevailed  lately. 

According  to  the  fish  law,  fishing  with  fastened  nets 
is  prohibited.  A  fisherman  can  fish  with  a  net,  pro- 
viding he  allows  the  net  to  float  with  the  tide.  He 
cannot  even  fasten  a  net  to  a  boat.  Tbat  those  who 
have  been  breaking  the  law  know  the  stand  they 
have  been  taking  Is  apparent  by  the  manner  in  which 
they  have  been  operating.  Deputy  Sheriff  Edwards 
confiscated  a  net  he  found  near  the  mouth  of  the 
North  street  canal,  which  had  been  fastened  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  hide  it  from  view.  A  dozen  or  more 
nets  have  been  found  by  the  officers  during  the  past 
month.  As  the  nets  range  in  value  all  the  way  from 
3150  to  8300  the  unlawful  fisheimen  loses  considerable, 
whec  an  officer  happens  to  fall  upon  one  of  them.

Poachers  Punished. 


AT  THE  TRAPS. 


Fish  and  game  law  violaterB  have  had  a  strenuous 
time  recently  for  various  infractions  of  the  State  law. 

Deputy  Pish  Commissioner  W.  R.  Welch  on  July 
23rd  arrested  a  young  man  from  Berkeley,  M.  God- 
dard,  who  was  exercisiDg  his  skill  as  a  marksman 
with  a  six-shooter  at  Independence  Lake.  He  tried 
to  organize  a  shooting  match  at  Independence  among 
the  guests  at  the  hotel  but  finally  started  out  alone. 
As  an  evidence  of  his  skill  he  brought  in  one  wild 
duck  that  he  had  shot.  Deputy  Welch  happening  to 
be  in  that  vicinity  took  Mr.  Goddard  and  the  duck  in 
charge.  He  pleaded  guilty  before  Justice  Hill  of 
Truckee  who  conferred  upon  him  a  medal  and  assessed 
him  at  the  same  time  325  for  his  fun. 

Early  in  the  morning  of  July  24th  Deputy  Welch 
discovered  John  Summers  at  Truckee  moving  around 
in  a  suspicious  manner  with  a  creel  full  of  trout.  It 
being  known  to  the  Fish  Commissioners  that  trout 
less  tnan  one  pound  in  weight  were  being  sold  in 
Truckee)  Mr.  Welch  was  on  the  lookout  for  develop- 
ments. Presently  George  D,  Bertha,  a  Pullman  con- 
ductor, and  Summers  were  in  close  conversation. 
Welch  saw  seven  small  fish  passed  from  Summers' 
basket  to  Bertha,  and  a  half  dollar  being  transferred 
from  Bertha's  pocket  to  Summers'  pocket.  He  placed 
both  man  under  arrest.  Liter  in  the  day  Bertha  de- 
cided that  the  shortest  way  out  of  the  difficulty  was 
to  plead  guilty  before  Justice  Hill,  which  he  did  and 
paia  a  tine  of  $20.  Summers  wants  to  contest  the  law. 
A  preliminary  hearing  was  granted  him  and  he  was 
held  to  answer  before  the  Superior  Court  at  Nevada 
City,  where  his  trial  will  take  place. 

Justice  Clack  of  Visalia  fined  M.  R.  Demaree  $25  for 
killing  wild  ducks  during  the  close  season  on  July 
25ch.  Damaree  had  eighteen  ducks  when  arrested  by 
Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  M.  P.  Janes,  which  would 
make  their  cost  about  SI. 40  each,  and  the  State  con- 
fiscated the  birds  besides. 

Chas.  Sutro,  prominent  in  sportsmen  circles,  con- 
fessed  an  error  of  judgment  in  shipping  more  than  25 
pounds  of  trout  in  one  day.  Mr.  Sutro  had  been  at 
Lake  Tahoe  and  wanted  to  remind  his  friends  of  that 
fact,  but  out  of  the  goodness  of  his  heart  he  ran 
against  one  of  the  laws  and  a  deputy  fish  commis- 
sioner, who  wa3  watching  affairs.  While  it  was  plainly 
evident  that  Mr.  Sutro  did  not  intend  to  be  in  conflict 
with  the  law,  he  realized  his  mistake  and  was  too 
much  of  a  gentleman  and  sportsman  to  avoid  the  con- 
sequences of  his  error,  and  cheerfully  made  of  himself 
a  martyr  to  the  cau-e  of  fish  and  game  preservation 
and  contributed  $20  to  tbe  State  Fish  Commission 
Fund,  before  Justice  Haley  at  Tahoe  City  last  week. 

In  the  court  of  Justice  Atchinson  of  Santa  Rosa, 
Chris  M.  Anderson,  one  of  a  gang  of  three  who  at- 
tacked Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  Ralph,  was  on 
Thursday  last  fined  $100  on  a  charge  of  assault  and 
$25  for  killing  a  quail  during  the  close  season.  His 
partner  in  mischief,  W.  H.  Nolan,  is  out  of  jail  on 
31000  cash  bail.  The  charge  against  him  is  for  using 
a  firearm  in  a  threatening  manner.  The  date  of  his 
trial  has  not  been  set.  These  men  had  been  languish- 
ing in  the  county  jail  at  Santa  Rosa  for  the  past  three 
weeks,  since  July  5th,  when  in  resisting  arrest,  for 
killing  quail  out  of  season,  at  the  hands  of  Deputy 
Ralph,  they  caused-  a  ''rough  house"  on  the  train 
near  Gayserville.  One  or  the  gang  escaped  by  jump- 
ing from  the  train,  and  Anderson  and  Nolan  were 
taken  into  custody  only  after  a  hard  fight  in  which 
the  officer  was  roughly  handled.  In  the  prosecution 
of  these  cases  the  officers  of  Sonoma  county  have 
spared  no  efforts  in  the  work  of  punishing  the  guilty 
men. 

Thomas  Hill  was  fined  $40  by  Justice  Baldwin  of 
Eureka  for  having  deer  hides  in  his  possession,  and 
E  A  Jenks  paid  $25  fine  in  Justice  Deigban's  court 
at  Rio  Dell  for  a  like  offense.  C.  A.  Divoll  was  fined 
$25  at  Sonora  for  killing  deer  out  of  season. 


TROUT    ANGLING. 

Mid-summer  trout  angling  days  are  hereand  the 
knowing  fishermen  are  taking  advantage  of  the 
situation. 

Reports  from  the  various  fibbing  resorts  on  the 
Upper  Sacramento — Lemoine,  Castella,  Shasta,  etc. — 
are  to  the  effect  that  fly-fishing  is  at  its  best  Trout 
are  more  io  evidence  than  they  have  been  for  years 
past,  great  sport  has  been  had  and  splendid  catches 
made.  The  weather  has  been  favorable  and  the  in- 
dications are  for  a  continuance  of  good  weather. 

Floyd  Judah  was  at  Shasta  Springs  last  week  and 
made  limit  catches  for  several  days.  He  s  ys  the 
killing  flies  are  the  royal  governor,  Yosemite,  royal 
coachman  and  gray  and  brown  hackles.  The  spoon 
may  also  be  used  there  with  good  success. 

On  the  Truckee  the  fly-fishing  has  been  so  good 
that  anglers  are  jubilant  over  the  great  sport  now  to 
oe  had  on  that  grand  trouting  water.  A  number  of 
.ocal  rodsters  have  been  stopping  at  Boca  for  the  past 
'ew  weeks.  The  best  fishing  ib  to  be  found  about 
'our  miles  up  river,  where  the  water  is  clear. 


The  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  shoot  at  Ingleside  will 
be  the  local  trap  shooting  feature  tomorrow. 


Striped  bass  angling  is  not  what  it  was  this  time  las 
year  by  any  long  odds.  Fishermen  who  have  repeat" 
idly  tried  all  of  their  favorite  reports  and  generally 
vlth  but  meagre  results  are  gradually  coming  to  the 
lonclusion  that  the  bass  are  getting  scarcer  and 
'career.  In  fact,  some  anglers  contend  that  the  fish 
ire  going  as  did  the  sturgeon  and  tbe  shad.  Open 
reason  all  the  year,  incessant  fishing  by  tbe  net  men 
>nd  the  wholesale  taking  of  small  and  under-sized  fish 
vitb  Illegal  sized  mesh  nets  and  also  set  nets  will  in 
he  near  future  make  Btriped  bass  but  a  memory. 

As  an  Instance,  there  waB  about  a  dczen  fishermen 
n  San  Antone  slough  last  Sunday,  the  fishcaught  did 
ot  average  one  to  the  rod.  Al  M.  Cumming  got  one 
mall  fish  on  Sunday  and  nothing  on  Saturday.  This 
reek  was  a  splendid  bass  fishing  resort  four  and  five 
earB  ago,  even  up  to  two  years  ago,  but  the  net  men 
ave  about  cleaned  it  out. 


The  Millwood  Gun  Club  shoot  at  Mill  Valley  last 
Sunday  was  a  notable  meet  in  one  respect  and  that 
was  the  shooting  of  Mr.  Van  Norden,  who  ran  up  a 
score  of  over  50  cdnsecutive  breaks  and  was  high  gun 
throughout  the  day.  He  started  in  by  winning  the 
opening  event,  a  freeze  out  shoot,  breaking  9  targets, 
Haas  and  Newlands  broke  8  each.  Event  2,  the  medal 
race,  was  won  by  R.  Haas,  who  scored  20  breaka,  Van 
Norden  was  a  tie  for  second  place  in  this  race. 

In  the  cup  event  Van  Norden  broke  23  out  of  27  and 
won  the  race,  Lockwood  was  second  high  gun.  In 
event  4,  sealed  conditions,  at  20  targets,  he  was  tied 
by  Price  on  18  breaks.  In  the  shoot  off  he  won  with  a 
10  straight.  In  the  final  race  of  the  day,  a  continuous 
break  shoot,  he  rolled  up  a  run  of  31  breaks.  The 
prior  score  of  Haas,  13  breaks,  stood  for  all  of  the 
past  season,  and  was  believed  would  win  out  but  the 
run  of  31  eclipsed  everything  else  and  will  no  doubt 
remain  unbeaten  for  the  club  season  of  3905.  Van  also 
received  the  club  cash  prize  of  $10  for  a  straight  of  25 
targets  or  better.

The  Petaluma  Blue  Rock  Gun  Club  held  a  shoot  at 
Kanliworth  Park  on  July  23d.  The  following  scores 
at  20  targets  were  made:  E.  E.  Drees  18,  J.  Doss  13,

The  open  to  all  shoot  at  the  Hunters'  Inn  near  San 
Leandro  on  August  13th  will  probably  draw  a  large 
attendance  of  shooters. 

The  merchandise  shoot  will  be  the  main  feature  of 
the  day.  Shooters  will  be  handicapped  according  to 
ability,  limit  25  targets.  High  guns  will  take  choice 
of  prizes  One  re-entry  will  be  allowed,  best  score  to 
count.  In  case  of  ties,  shooters  will  shoot  off  at  the 
original  handicap  for  gun  only,  and  if  still  tie,  miss 
and  out  All  other  ties  will  be  decided  by  lot.  En- 
trance $1,  including  price  of  targets,  16  yards  rise. 
Other  events  will  be  arranged.  All  targets  will  be 
trapped  at  one  cent  per  target. 

In  the  merchandise  shoot  the  principal  prize  is  a 
Remington  hammerless  shotgun.  A  variety  of  articles 
valued  at  over  $75  and  about  $50  in  cash  will  also  be 
distributed  among  the  winning  guns. 

Tbos.  L.  Lewis,  Secretary  of  the  Union  Gun  Club 
will  manage  the  shoot. 


A.  E.  McKenzie,  president  of  the  Denver  Gun  Club 
and  W.  D  Burgess,  a  prominent  trap  shot  of  Omaha 
were  in  Salt  Lake  recently.  When  the  two  cracks 
got  together  tbey  decided  to  have  a  little  fun  at  the 
traps.  Soon  several  congenial  fellows  were  hunted  up 
and  the  bunch  adjourned  to  the  trap  grounds  to  shoot 
for  the  "championship  of  the  universe." 

McKenzie  reDresented  Colorado,  Burgess, Nebraska; 
Jack  Sharp,  Nevada,  and  Uncle  John  Sharp,  Utah.

Most  of  the  shooters,  and  particularly  the  California 
contigent,  who  were  present  at  tbe  recent  Northwest 
Tournament  at  Portland,  Or.,  say  many  kind  things 
about  the  members  of  tbe  Multnomah  Rod  and  Gun 
Club,  and  praise  and  commend  their  hospitality  and 
good  fellowship  generally. 

The  efforts  of  a  monthly  publication  to  belittle  the 
Portland  shoot  by  imaginary  and  frivolous  dialogue, 
attributed  to  several  local  sportsmen,  are  uncalled 
for  anri  tend  to  place  the  alleged  speakers  in  a  false 
position. 

Whatever  the  writer's  opinion  of  a  flairs  at  Portland, 
he  could  have  expressed  the  same  legitimately  with- 
out prejudice  to  third  parties. 

While  it  is  conceded  that  there  was  a  hitch,  here 
and  there,  in  tbe  Portland  shoot,  the  Webfooters 
more  than  made  amends  for  a  few  drawbacks  and 
these  were  not  any  greater  than  baB  been  the  ex- 
perience of  every  trapshooter  of  several  seasons  at- 
tention to  the  sport.  " 

The  officers  of  the  Grants  Paps  Gun  Club  are  R  L 
Bartlett,  president;  Tbnmas  Harvey,  secretary;  AC 
Hough,  treasurer  and  T  J  Armstrong,  captain,  and 
there  is  a  membership  of  20.  Tbe  club  has  fine 
grounds  leased  in  the  Tuffs  grove-  on  which  they 
have  recently  erected  a  comfortable   club  house  14x36 


feet.  A  fine  well  of  water  is  in  the  grove  and  it  ie  a 
delightful  place  for  an  outing.  The  arrangement  'or 
trap  shooting  is  perfect,  with  good  light  and  back- 
ground. The  club  intends  to  hold  another  big  tour- 
nament on  their  grounds  in  October. 


The  Blue  Rock  Gun  Club  of  Alameda  will  shoot  on 
the  High  Street  grounds  to-morrow. 


The  last  clay-pigeon  match  of  the  Honolulu  Gun 
Club  for  the  season  was  held  June  25th  at  the  gun 
club  quarters  in  Manoa  valley.  A  large  crowd  of 
gun  enthusiasts  was  present  and  some  fairly  good 
shooting  was  done,  so  writes  an  Island  sportsman. 

At  noon  the  order  to  cease  firiDg  was  given  by  the 
general  in  command,  or  at  least  the  board  of  strategy 
comprising  H.  E.  Gares,  K.  B.  Porter  and  Irwin 
Spalding,  and  an  excellent  lunch  was  partaken  of 
There  was  fine  chowder,  potato  salad,  ham,  sau=age 
pickles,  bread  and  butter  and  cold  beer.  Mrs  J  w' 
Harvey  acted  as  hostess  for  the  club. 

Keen  interest  was  displayed  in  all  the  events,  and 
there  was  a  prodigious  amount  of  ammunition  dis- 
charged at  the  targets,  and  much  of  it  wasted.  Even 
some  of  the  best  shots  of  the  club  were  not  at  their 
best,  failing  to  score  when  it  was  expected  of  them. 
There  was  one  interesting  shoot-off  between  W  E 
Hall  and  H.  E.  Gares.  They  had  tied  in  the  general 
match  and  then  decided  to  shoot  off  for  five  birds. 
Each  broke  four  and  tied  again.  The  next  five  gave 
each  three,  the  next  two,  the  next  one,  and  finally 
Mr.  Wall  made  one  bird  after  Mr.  Gares  had  scored 
goose  eggs  in  his  five  shots. 

J.  W.  Harvey  and  K.  B.  Porter  were,  as  usual,  up 
toward  the  head.  In  fact,  it  is  hard  to  beat  Harvey. 
E.  I.  Spalding  made  some  fine  records,  and  Mr.  Lanz, 
in  spite  of  some  waste  of  ammunition,  did  fine 
shooting  at  times. 

On  July  1,  the  dove  season  opened,  and  the  members 
of  the  gun  club  will  temporarily  desert  the  traps  for 
the  keener  sport  of  shooting  at  real  birds  on  the  wing. 
Large  shooting  parties  were  expected  to  hunt  over 
the  island  on  Saturday  and  Sunday,  July  1st  and  2nd. 

Mrs.  W.  F.  Sheard  of  Tacoma,  won  marked  honors 
at  the  twenty-first  annual  tournament  of  tbe  Sports- 
men's Association  of  the  Northwest.  Mrs.  Sheard 
was  one  of  several  lady  shooters  in  the  tournament, 
she  won  tne  women 's  championship  of  the  association, 
defeating  all  competitors  in  her  class.  She  also  took 
the  women's  high  average  and  by  her  performance  is 
the  champion  feminine  trap  shot  of  the  Northwest. 

Mrs.  Sheard  shares  with  her  husband  his  distinction 
as  a  champion  shot.  She  is  known  as  the  best  woman 
shot  in  the  Northwest.  She  has  participated  in  many 
tournaments  throughout  that  territory  and  like  Mr. 
Sheard  is  the  holder  of  many  medals. 

There  was  not  a  very  large  attendance  at  the 
regular  shoot  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Gun  Club  held  at 
Leddy  station,  July  30th.  The  Laflin  &  Rand  cup 
event  was  won  by  Guiltnan  for  the  day  as  well  as  on 
a  back  score  for  July.     The  scores  were  as  follows: 

Laflin  &  Rand  cup  race,  target  handicap,  25  possible, 
16  yards— Monroe,  28  targets,  broke  19;  Guiltnan,  29- 
24;  Elmonds,  28-15;  Morrow,  28-19;  Fehrman,  27-17; 
Hesse,  26-22.  Back  scores:  Fehrman,  27-21;  Guilt- 
nan, 30-23;  Monroe,  28-19. 

The  medal  shoot  followed  and  was  won  by  Hesse 
while  Guiltnan  won  for  July  9  on  a  back  score.  The 
scores  were: 

Monroe,  18  yards,  28  targets,  broke  18;  Febimnn,  20 
yards,  25-11;  Monroe,  18  yards, 28-16;  Hesse,  18  yards, 
28-26.    Back  scores:     Monroe,  16  yards,  30-22. 


The  Interstate  shoot  to  be  held  at  Ingleside,  Sep- 
tember 15,  16  and  17,  it  is  safe  to  say,  will  be  the  big- 
gest blue  rock  tournament  ever  held  west  of  the 
Mississippi  river. 

The  meeting  will  be  under  the  auspices  of  the  In- 
terstate Association,  of  which  Mr.  Irby  C.  Bennett,  a 
popular  and  prominent  Eastern  sportsman,  is  Presi- 
dent. Elmer  E.  Shaner  of  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  a  gentle- 
man of  notable  experience  in  trap  shooting  (unctions 
and  eseeemed  by  the  Eastern  shotgun  fraternity  for 
his  genial  personality  and  executive  abilities  will 
manage  the  shoot — and  this  selection  argues  a  suc- 
cessfully conducted  teap  shoot  that  will  be  attended 
by  200  or  more  shooters. 

Tbe  programmed  events  for  each  day  will  be  open 
to  amateurs  only.  About  $1500  added  money  has  al- 
ready been  subscribed.  The  division  of  moneys  will 
be  determined  by  the  number  of  entries.  The  regular 
events,  will  probably,  be  15  and  20  target  races.  The 
Preliminary  Handicap  will  be  at  100  targets  as  will 
the  Pacific  Coast  Handicap.  The  handicaps  will  be 
in  yards  and  arranged  by  a  committee,  appointed  by 
President  Bennett,  composed  of:  M.  J.  Iverson,  San 
Francisco:  Guy  Lovelace,  Los  Angeles;  W.  H.  Varlen, 
Pacific  Grove;  Maurice  Abrahams,  Portland  and  W. 
H.  MeBroom,  Spokane. 

The  Preliminary  Handicap  trophy  will  be  worth 
$50,  the  Pacific  Coast  Handicap  trophy  Is  valued  at 
$100.  Tbe  program  is  now  with  tbe  printers  and  will 
probably  be  out  and  ready  for  distribution  by  tbe 
14th  inst. 

Ingleside  grounds  will  be  arranged  to  accommodate 
as  large  a  gathering  of  trap  shooters  as  anticipated 
may  attend.  The  Eastern  representation  will  be  a 
strong  one,  as  will  that  from  the  Northwest,  with  a 
fair  number  from  British  Columbia. 

Five  sets  of  traps  will  be  put  In  at  Ingleside,  includ- 
ing a  straight  bulkhead,  and  these  will  also  be  In 
readiness  for  the  shooters.  The  regular  events  will 
be  shot  on  the  Sargeant  system.  Targets  will  cost  2} 
cents  each  and  will  be  deducted  from  the  purses. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  to  have  large  and 
handsome  electrlo  cars  ready  for  shooters  each  day  at 
Market  and  Second  Btreets.  Cars  will  leave  at  8.  8:30 
and  9  a.  m  ;  returning  at  Intervals  during  the  after- 
noon. Round  trip  tickets  will  be  25  cents.  Tbe  trip  of 
tbe  shooters'  cars  to  tbe  grounds,  or  return,  will  take 
about  35  minutes.

County  Laws  Knocked  Out. 


©tte  gveei>ev  ani>  &p*irismcm 


[AUGUST  5,  1905 


According  to  a  decision  handed  down  by  the  Court 
of  Appeals  July  29th,  the  sportsmen  of  Los  Angeles 
cDunty  have  won  a  sweeping  victory  over  the  county 
supervisors.  The  court  has  decided  that  all  other 
laws  than  the  State  game  laws  are  unconstitutional; 
in  other  words,  that  county  supervisors  have  no  right 
or  authority  to  enact  special  laws  to  suit  the  local 
conditions,  the  State  law  being  the  only  recognized 
law  for  every  county  of  the  State.  Instead  of  having 
only  one  day  for  dove  shooting,  August  loth,  accord- 
ing to  an  ordinance  passed  by  the  supervisors  when 
the  question  of  game  laws  came  up  for  consideration 
several  weeks  ago,  Los  Angeles  sportsmen  will  now  be 
allowed  to  shootdoves  from  July  1st  to  February  15th 
Toe open  season  of  last  year  was  from  July  15th  to 

°Theedecision  was  the  result  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Supervisors  passing  an  ordinance  limiting  dove  shoot- 
fn/w  one  dSy,  August  15th.  A  test  case  was  made 
of*the  matter  and  taken  into  court  with  the  result 
that  sportsmen  will  now  have  the  full  season. 

The  "sact  rights  of  County  Supervisors  in  the 
matter  of  "monkeying"  with  the  State  game  laws  is 

MiCbSl^»D.  Prindleof  Los  Angeles  was 
arrested  bv  Game  Warden  Morgan  in  the  ban  Fer- 
nando valley  and  charged  witb  having  violated  the 
county  gaJe  law  by  shooting  doves  in  the  closed 
season  The  State  law  opened  up  sport  July  1st. 
He  was  convicted  by  a  J  ustice  of  the  Peace. 

There  has  been  much  sentiment  among  southern 
sportsmen  over  the  county  game  law  changes  which 
have  been  characterized  variously  as  Ill-advised  and 
unnecessary.  As  nearly  every  county  in  bouthern 
Camornia  has  a  different  set  of  laws,  sportsmen  are 
completely  at  sea,  and  in  most  cases  cannot  find  out 
the  law  even  by  writing  to  the  county  officials,  as  a 
result  of  the  frequent  changes. 

Believing,  therefore,  that  only  evil  could  come  of  a 
continuance  of  these  periodical  county  game  law 
changes,  and  feeling  that  the  State  has  taken  very 
good  care  of  the  game,  the  Los  Angeles  County  Pro- 
tective Association  instructed  its  attorneys  to  defend 
Mr  Prindleasalegalform  for  establishing  and  de- 
fining the  rights  of  the  Supervisors  to  pass  game  laws. 
Convicted,  Mr.  Prindle's  case  came  up  before  the 
District  Court  of  ADDeals  in  due  course  of  law,  and  by 
habeas  corpus  proceedings  it  would  have  been  brought 
io  the  immediate  attention  of  the  State  Supreme 
Court,  so  that  shootersm-ght  know  their  fate  before 
the  "sooner;,"  of  which  there  seems  an  abnormal 
crop  have  killed  off  all  the  doves  while  the  law- 
abiding  sportsmen  are  sweltering  in  the  city. 

The  Prlndle  case  affects  every  county  in  California. 
Theie  has  always  been  much  doubt  in  good  lawyers 
minds  as  to  the  validity  of  the  county  ordinances  if 
vigorously  fought  by  competent  legal  talent,  and  the 
Prindle  case  will  now  probably  establish  their  status 
beyond  furtherquibble. 

The  rather  paradoxical  spectacle  of  a  game  and  fish 
protective  association  attacking  a  game  law  is  ex- 
plained by  the  belief  of  most  conservative  protection- 
ists that  incalculable  harm  has  been  done  thecause  by 
ill-advised  and  incompetent  legislation,  inflicting 
undeserved  hardships  on  sportsmen  in  some  sections, 
and  placing  a  premium  upon  violations  by  keeping 
the  law-abiding  ones  home  when  the  country  is  full  of 
SDOrtlng  material  as  at  present.  One  good  game  law, 
and  that  enforced,  is  the  slogan  of  the  protectionists.

Season  Opens  for  Deer  Hunters. 

The  open  Beason  for  hunting  and  killing  bucks  be. 
ean  on  Tuesday  last.  The  outlook  for  a  successful 
hunt  In  nearby  hills  was  favorable,  so  far  as  the  deer 
were  concerned,  for  they  were  reported  to  be  plenti  fill 
In  Marin  county.  Weather  conditions  prevailed  ,n 
that  section,  however,  that  were  not  conduoive  to 
success.  On  TueBday  and  Wednesday  a  heavy  fog 
hung  over  the  Marin  hills,  on  Thursday  it  rained. 
The  coast  Jog  made  hunting  both  difficult  and 
dangerous.  ,  .,      _     .. 

Results  however,  were  by  no  means  nil.  On  the 
Country  Club  preserve  Mr.  Van  Stcklen  dropped  a 
buck  that  Boaled  115  pounds  dressed.  He  got  the 
deer  on  the  run  with  a  long  shot.  Andrew  Jackson 
bagged  a  buok  that  weighed  150  pouodp,  one  of  the 
flne«t  shot  on  the  preserve  for  years. 

Sheriff  Taylor  two  of  bis  sons  and  three  friends 
hunted  over  the  Codonl,  Cheda  and  Jewell  ranches. 
Thev  bagged  a  fine  forked  horn.  Tne  huut  was 
brought  to  a  close  when  the  dogs  refused  to  run  by 
reason  jo!  tbe  bad  weather.  A  two  pointer  was  killed 
on  the  Point  Reyes  Sportsmen's  Club  preserve! 


The  turnont  in  Marin  county  will  be  a  large  one 
todav  and  tomorrow  many  of  the  different  club  mem- 
bers having  postponed  their  hunt  from  the  first  until 

The  deer  season  in  Mendocino  county  closes  Septem- 
ber 15th.  ., 

Hew  A.  K.  C.  Rules. 

On  August  1st  the  following  new'A.  K.  C.  rules  and 
changes  took  effect  and  are  now  in  force.  They  are 
of  importance  and  in  view  of  the  coming  Coast  shows 
in  the  near  future,  we  deem  it  of  interest  to  the  fancy 
to  give  them  in  this  issue: 

VI  If  a  do°-  has  been  entered  without  being  iden- 
tified' as  directed  in  Rules  IV.  and  V.,  it  shall  be  dis- 
qualified and  forfeit  any  prize  which  may  be  awarded 
to  it.  except  in  the  case  of  technical  errors  where 
fraud  is  not  shown,  in  which  case  the  Secretary  shall 
impose  a  fine  of  $2  for  each  entry. 
CLASSES. 
2  The  novice  class  shall  be  for  Americanbred  dogs 
only,  never  having  won  a  first  prize  at  any  recognized 
show,  wins  in  the  puppy  classes  excepted. 

5  The  Winners' Class  shall  be  open  only  to  the 
winners  of  first  prizes  in  any  class  at  tne  show,  giving 
at  least  three  of"  the  before-mentioned  classes,  one  of 
which  must  be  the  Open  Class  Winners'  Classes  can 
not  be  allowed  where  two  or  more  breeds  are  com- 
bined The  judge  shall  withhold  the  award  of  first 
in  this  class  should  he  be  of  the  opinion  that  there  is 
no  dog  of  sufficient  merit  to  justify  such  award,  and 
the  winner  of  ten  points  in  this  class,  "under  three 
different  judges,  excepting,  however,  at  five-point 
shows,  when  two  wins  under  different  judges  will  be 
sufficient,"  will  thereby  become  a  champion  of  record, 
be  «o  registered  by  the  American  Kennel  Club,  and  If 
registered  in  the  Stud  Book  will  be  entitled  to  an 
American  Kennel  Club  champion  medal.  Duplicate 
medals  for  champions  cannot  be  issued.  Before 
awarding  "reserve"  in  this  class,  the  dog  or  dogB 
havino-  been  placed  second  to  the  winner  in  any  of 
the  classes  must  be  brought  before  the  judge  for  com- 
petition with  the  remaining  dogs  in  said  Winners 
Class  No  class  winner  can  be  withdrawn  or  withheld 
from  competition  in  the  Winners'  Class,  and  no  entry 
fee  shall  be  charged  for  said  competition  in  this  class. 
A  dog  that,  prior  to  June  1,  1904,  may  have  won  in 
the  Winners'  Class  under  the  ten-point  rule  shall 
qualify  as  a  champion  upon  the  completion  of  ten 
Joints  Tbe  Winners'  Class  can  be  divided  by  sex, 
provided  the  required  three  classes  announced  in  the 
premium  list  are  also  divided  by  sex. 

XXIV.     The  Superintendent  of  any  show   cannot 
exhibit  or  officiate  as  a  judge  at  that  show 


of  the  Executive  Comrrittee,  by  two-thirds  vote  of  the 
member  Dresent,  or  at  any  SDecial  meeting  on  notice. 
Provided,  however,  that  Sections  3  and  4  can  only  be 
altered  or  amended  after  notice  of  6uch  alteration  or 
amendment  has  been  published  in  the  Gazette  prior  to 
being  acted  upon,  and  by  a  two-thirds  vote  of  the 
members  represented. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 

STOCKTON    SHOW. 

A  three  day  show  for  the  Stockton  Kennel  Club  and 
the  dates  the  club  will  apply  for  are  October  19th, 
20th  and  21st.  It  is  safe  to  venture  the  statement 
that  the  Santa  Cruz  judge,  Harry  W.  Lacy,  we  are 
told,  will  do  most  of  the  judging  at  Stockton.  It  is 
also  within  the  possibilities  that  George  A.  Cranfield 
will  judge  Greyhuonds.  Mr.  Cranfield  judged  the 
breed  at  the  S.  F.  K.  C  show  1902,  when  there  was 
about  150  entries — the  largest  class  of  Greyhounds 
ever  shown  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic.  Further 
there  is  a  strong  sentiment  to  have  one  breed  judged 
by  a  lady  "who  is  regarded  as  one  of  tbe  experts  of 
the  Coast"  in  the  particular  breed,  Cockers  it  is 
rumored. 

The  Stockton  Club  and  the  bench  show  proposition 
are  getting  along  swimiogly.  Letters  have  been  re- 
ceived f-om  many  fanciers  outside  of  Stockton  and 
San  Joaquin  county.  Entries  are  promised  from 
'Frisco,  San  Jose,  Santa  Cruz,  Sacramento  and  other 
points. 

A  drawback,  but  only  a  temporary  one  it  is  to  be 
hoped,  is  the  lack  of  a  suitable  building  or  hall  In 
Stockton  at  present.  This  problem  may  be  solved  bv 
showing  the  dogs  in  a  tent  or  under  a  canvass  covereb 
framework  erected  for  the  purpose.  Whatever  tbe 
difficulty  for  the  pre'ent,  it  is  an  assurance  that  the 
Stockton  fanciers  will  overcome  it  in  a  satisfactory 
manner. 

George  E.  McLeod,  who  has  done  so  much  for  tbe 
new  club  has  resigned  the  club  presidency.  Absence 
from  Stockton  aDd  urgent  business  affairs  prompted  a 
step  that  was  not  entertained  favorably  by  tbe  club 
members.  Mr.  F.  N  Vail  wassele:ted  to  fill  tbe  office 
made  vacant  by  Mr.  McLeod  Mr.  Vail  is  an  enthus- 
iastic fancier  and  a  gentleman  of  strong  executive 
abilities  and  is  well  able  to  pilot  the  club  into  smooth 
sailiog  watets 

The  list  of  specials  will  be  a  large  one,  many  hand- 
some and  valuable  trophies  having  been  already  of 
fered.  The  premium  list  is  in  ihe  hands  of  the  bench 
show  committee  and  tbe  prospect  for  a  fine  show  at 
Stockton  in  October,  we  are  pleased  to  state,  is  a  most 
propitious  one.

PETERS'     POINTS. 

At  Lonaconing,  Md.,  July  4th  and  5th,  Mr.  R-  S. 
Deniker  of  Ruffsdale,  Pa.,  took  first  average,  and  Mr. 
Warren  Smith  of  Osterburg,  Pa.,  second  average, 
both  using  Peters'  Ideal  factory  loaded  shells. 

At  Port  Wortb,  Texas,  July  "l2ib,13th  and  14th  the 
majority  of  the  55  contestants  including  the  winners 
of  second  and  third  professional  averages,  and  second 
amateur  average,  used  Peters'  Loaded  Shells.  The 
Ithaca  gun  was  won  by  Otto  Sens,  who  broke  25 
stiaigQt  with  Peters'  Ideals.  Toe  Mitchell  gold  medal 
was  won  by  M.  E.  Atchison,  of  Gidding.-,  Texas,  with 
a  score  ot  50  straighr.  Mr.  Atcbison  tied  with  three 
others  on  25  straight,  then  shot  25  in  the  shoot-off, 
using  Ideals.  He  also  made  a  run  of  112  straight  on 
the  last  day  of  the  tournament. 

At  Betterton,  Md  ,  July  12tb,  13th  and  14tb,  E.  H. 
Storr,  using  Peters'  Target  Shells,  won  high  average, 
breaking  480  out  of  500  with  a  sliding  handicap  Mr. 
Storr  made  a  run  of  97  straight,  89  from  20  yards  and 
8  from  19  yards.  At  Cambridge,  Md.,  July  7th,  Mr. 
Storr  was  high  average  losing  only  3  targets  out  of 
165.  Peters' Target  shells  are  well  named,  for  they 
certainly  do  smash  them  up. 

Mr.  C.  A.  Young,  representing  the  Peters'  Cart- 
ridge Co.,  won  higb  average  in  the  shoot  at  Degraff, 
Ohio,  July  20th,  losing  only  !ri  out  of  275  targets. 
Mr.  C.  A.  Young  also  won  high  average  at  Dayton, 
Ohio,  July  22.1,  97%,  using  Peters'  ldeai  shells. 

High  average  at  Decatur,  Ills.,  sboot,  July  18th  and 
19tb,  was  won  by  H.  W.  Cadwalader,  the  Peters' 
Cartridge  Company's   representative;    average  96%. 

On  Ju'-y  21st,  Mr.  John  M.  Pemberton  of  Ashvale, 
Ark.,  holder  of  the  Arkansas  Flying  Target  Cham- 
pionship, successfully  defended  bis  title  against  Mr. 
S  M.  P  iwell,  of  Little  Rock,  scoring  45  out  of  50. 
Both  contestants  used  Peters  Premier  shells. 


All  of  this  is  excellent  shooting  and  speaks  volumes 
for  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  gun. 

A     CONVINCING     TESTIMONIAL. 

The  Ithaca  Gun  Company  receives  many  communi- 
cations from  sportsmen  who  speak  highly  of  tbe 
Ithaca  gun.     Here  is  a  sample: 

I  beg  to  thank  yon  for  tne  beautiful  and  effective 
gun  which  j  ou  so  kindly  built  to  my  particular  speci- 
fications; it  is  indeed  a  triumph  of  the  art  of  modern 
gun  making.  Have  owned  guns  made  by  the  best 
gun  makers  of  the  world  which  cost  much  "more,  but 
have  never  had  one  to  suit  me  so  well,  and  have  yet 
to  see  a  gun  I  would  exchange  il  for

Editor  Forest  and  Stream:— I  have  teen  nading  tie 
powder  advertisements  in  this  week's  Fvrat  ai,d 
Stream,  and  am  somewhat  at  sea.  My  perplexity  is 
caused  by  conflicting  claims  of  powder  perfoimances 
at  tbe  Grand  American  Handicap.  I  don't  see  bow 
different  powders  could  have  won  the  same  piizes  as  . 
claimed,  unless  tbe  piize  winning  sbooler6  alternated 
their  powders  and  used  first  ODe  and  then  another  in 
their  shooting,  or  else  mixed  different  powders  when 
they  loaded  their  shells  This  is  something  I  never 
knew  a  shooter  10  do  willingly  in  shooiing  a  match  of 
any  sort,  and  certainly  I  shoulo  cot  think  it  would 
have  been  done  in  a  cuntest  of  such  importance  as  tbe 
Grand  American.  At  the  same  time  I  confess  to  a 
curiosity  to  know  how  we  are  to  harmonize  tbe  con- 
flicting statements  about  tbe  records  of  the  several 
powders.  Are  there  any  official  records  to  throw 
light  on  this?  William  Applegate.

Farm  Boy  Has  Best  Chance. 

Boya  who  are  glowing  up  on  a  farm  are 
very  much  given  to  envying  the  city  boy 
the  better  chance  that  he  ib  supposed  to 
have  for  getting  on  in  the  world. 

We  have  some  evidence  that  such  is  not 
the  ca0e.  We  quote  now  from  the

Common  Goat  is  Sold  as  Lamb'and 
Mutton. 


Goat,  says  the  Department  of  As 
tare,  in  a  bulletin  recently  i6Sued— goat, 
common  garden  goat,  suppliee  a  c 
erable  part  of  the ''lamb"  and  "mutton" 
handled  by  the  great  packing  houeee  and 
sold  by  the  wholesaler  and  retailers  all 
over  "the  country.  Expert  Thompson, 
who  has  conducted  the  goat  investigation, 
reflects  as  follows  in  his  report  upon  goat 
as  a  table  delicacy : 

It  is  generally  agreed  upon  by  those 
who  speak  from  experience  that  the  kids 
of  all  breeds  of  goats  are  a  table  delicacy. 
It  is  true  that  among  the  great  masseB  of 
the  people  of  this  country  there  is  a  re- 
markable and  well-grounded  prejudice 
against  anything  bearing  the  name  of 
goat. 

Within  the  environments  of  the  larger 
cities  are  found  many  kids,  and  it  is  evi- 
dent that  only  a  few  of  them  ever  grow 
to  muturity.  What  becomes  of  the  rest? 
Butchers  and  meat  dealers  answer  thiB 
question  by  saying  that  they  are  sold  as 
lamb.  Xo  meat  dealer  has  ever  heard  a 
complaint  against  the  quality  of  such 
lamb. 

A  considerable  number  of  middle-aged 
and  old  mongrel  goats  are  purchased  by 
the  packing-houses  of  the  large  cities. 
They  are  purchased  as  goat,  but  are  sold 
as  mutton,  and  many  of  those  who  so 
strenuously  condemn  goat  have  eaten  it 
a  Fcore  of  times. 

Mr.  Thompson  adds  that  the  elderly 
goat  is  not  as  good  as  good  mutton,  but 
that  it  is  not  any  worse  than  bad  mutton. 
He  insistB  that  the  prejudice  against  it 
would  disappear  if  people  would  only 
make  a  test  and  eat  goat  as  goat  instead 
of  as  lamb.  He  is  not  very  hopeful,  how- 
ever, of  such  a  result.  He  started  upon 
his  goat  report  with  the  purpose  of 
answering  the  numerous  inquiries  which 
have  reached  the  bureau  as  to  the  possi- 
bility of  creating  a  goat  industry  in  the 
United  States.  It  was  while  incidentally 
remarking  upon  the  present  size  of  the 
industry  that  he  made  the  startling  state- 
ments which  confound  our  morning  lamb 
with  goat  chops. 

Mr.  Thompson  says  that  the  inquiries 
as  to  the  possible  creation  of  a  new  in- 
dustry in  the  United  States  came  princi- 
pally from  persons  with  considerable 
capital,  a  good  deal  of  worthless  land  and 
plenty  of  time  to  think.  He  believes 
that  when  these  people  learn  that  the 
United  States  imports  $20,000,COO  worth 
of  goat  skinB  annually  and  that  conditions 
in  this  country  are  extremely  favorable 
for  goat-raising,  they  will  surely  sit  up 
and  take  notice. 

The  bulletin  devotes  considerable  space 
to  explaining  that  tbe  term  "common 
goat"  does  not  indicate  any  special  breed 
and  ie  not  meant  to  be  contemptuous,  but 
that  it  covers  all  sortB  of  mongrel  goats, 
without  regard  to  size,  c  nfirmation,  color 
or  character.  According  to  Mr.  Thomp- 
son there  are  about  2.000,000  goats  in  the 
United  States,  700,000  of  which  can  recog- 
nize their  parents.  New  York  has  1316 
within  its  borders,  as  compared  with  700,- 
000  for  TexaB.  Rhode  Island  can  boast 
of  only  23.  They  are  all  common  goats, 
but  22  of  them  Mr.  Thompson  Bays,  have 
risen  in  the  social  scale  and  now  furnish 
the  motive  power  for  a  similar  number  of 
go-carts.  The  twenty-third  has  a  bad 
reputation. 

Mr.  Thompson  further  reports  that  after 
an  exhaustive  study  be  is  able  to  say  that 
a  common  goat  can  eat  as  many  different 
thinge  within  a  given  Bpace  of  time  as  an 
Angora  goat,  and  that  it  is  certainly 
foolish  to  employ  a  force  of  men  to  clear  a 
tract  of  land  at  a  cost  of  from  $5  to  HO 
an  acre  when  a  goat  will  do  it  for  nothing 
and  be  glad  of  the  chance.  In  regard  to 
breeding,  the  Angora  is  given  to  triplets, 
while  the  common  goat  sticks  to  twlnB. 
The  twins  usually  arrive  a  good  deal 
oftener,  however,  and  consequently  the 
more  common  kids  than  the  Angora  or 
other  registered  stock  enter  the  lamb  and 
mutton  markets  every  year. 


Correct  Way  of  Milking. 

It  would  be  better  for  the  reputatian  of 
dairymen  could  the  milkers  be  induced 
to  milk  with  clean  hands,  declares  H. 
O.  Curtis  in  writing  to  the  Jersey  Bul- 
;our  and  tainted  milk  is  too  com- 
mon with  us  during  the  summer  and 
autumn  months,  and  it  is  a  difficult  task, 
under  the  most  favorable  conditions,  to 
have  the  milk  free  from  taint.  Not  only 
has  the  dairyman  to  combat  taints  from 
feeds  in  the  fall,  but  the  cows  will  get 
dirt  on  their  udders  and  teats,  and  from 
these  it  gets  into  the  milk  pail  because 
most  men  milk  with  wet  hands.  What- 
ever the  milker  has  been  handling  before 
milking  leaves  a  taint  and  bacteria  on 
tbe  hands,  and,  of  course,  it  is  washed  off 
into  the  milk;  the  result  is  that  one  day's 
cream,  or  one  day's  churning,  is  different 
in  bouquet  and  flavor  from  another. 

The  buttermaker  will  tell  us  be  con- 
trols the  flavor  with  another  kind  of  bac- 
teria, but  there  is  something  more  potent 
than  the  buttermaker's  Bpecial  species  of 
butter  culture,  and  it  is  what  gets  into 
tne  milk  ahead  of  the  man  at  the  churn. 
is  already  stated,  it  is  tbe  dirt  on  the 
cow's  udder  that  ie  causing  a  riot  among 
the  different  kinds  of  living  organisms  in 
the  milk.  When  a  scientific  buttermaker 
gets  on  his  ear  about  some  taint  that  is 
puzzling  him  he  makes  a  fermentation 
test  and  locates  it  nine  times  out  of  ten, 
but  that  is  no  reason  whv  carelessness 
should  be  practiced  all  the  time  in  milk- 
ing. The  consumer  of  milk  in  the  city 
gets  hold  of  some  of  this  tainted  and 
impure  milk,  and  he  blames  the  dairy 
from  which  it  came.  The  city  man  does 
not  care  one  iota  whether  the  milk  came 
from  John,  Jacob  or  Isaac,  so  long  as  it  is 
good  and  rich.  Ent,  what  is  "good  and 
rich"  milk?  There  is  going  to  be  a  dif- 
ferent definition  as  to  what  is  "good"  for 
the  human  family  and  what  is  not  good, 
according  to  some  modern  medical  authori- 
ties. 

But,  whatever  that  may  amount  to,  it 
is  not  what  we  want.  The  crying  need  is 
plenty  of  clean,  wholesome  milk,  and  it 
cannot  be  had  unless  milkers  milk  with 
dry  bands. 

Poor  Fowls  Do  Not  Pay. 

It  does  not  pay  to  keep  mongrel  fowls. 
No  one  can  afford  to  keep  poor  fowls 
when  there  are  better  oneB  to  be  had. 
The  business  in  cost  is  a  mere  bagatelle 
when  compared  with  the  profits  during 
the  season.  Some  barnyard  fowls  are  all 
right,  but  they  are  sadly  in  the  minority. 

One~reason  ?hy  the  thoroughbreds  pay 
so  much  better  is  that  they  are  uniform. 
Their  habits  are  similar  and  a  flock  may 
be  treated  more  as  a  unit.  To  get  the 
most  from  fowls  it  is  necessary  to  study 
their  individuality.  This  cannot  be  done 
with  mongrels  because  each  one  is  dif- 
ferent, but  it  can  be  done  easily  in  a 
collective  manner  with  thoroughbred 
fowls  because  they  feed  alike  and  their 
habits  are  much  in  the  same  families, 
but  the  difference  is  along  certain  pre- 
scribed lines  and  easily  adjusted. 

There  are  three  general  claBses  of  fowls. 
Asiatics  are  especially  valuable  for  meat, 
they  correspond  with  beef  breeds  of  cattle 
for  beef.  For  eggs  the  Mediterraneans  are 
especially  valuable  for  they  have  been 
bred  along  lines  of  production  in  this 
especial  clasB,  until  their  capacity  for 
converting  food  into  eggs  ie  almost  mar- 
velous. 

The  American  fowls  fit  in  between  the 
Mediterranean  and  Asiatics.  The  Ameri- 
can breeds  are  good  layers  and  they  are 
all  large  enough  to  furnish  suitable  meat 
for  the  table.  They  are  active  in  summer 
time  and  for  this  reason  are  classed  among 
the  most  valuable  fowls  for  tbe  farm. 
They  may  be  termed  general  purpose 
fowls  and  claesed  very  much  as  general 
purpose  cowe.  Under  certain  conditions 
they  are  more  valuable  than  especial 
breeds  that  require  careful  looking  after 
to  develop  their  greatest  production  along 
prescribed  lineB. 

For  farmers'  use  probably  one  of  the 


American  breeds  of  solid  color  gives  the 
best  general  satisfaction.  That  is,  on  nine 
farms  out  of  ten  a  good  medium  white 
hen  will  forage  for  herEelf  and  lay  more 
eggs  than  a  carefully  bred  layiDg  strain. 
ThiB  doeB  not  necessarily  mean  that  a 
thoroughbred  American  fowl  will  do  well 
under  a  system  of  neglect,  but  Bhe  will 
give  good  results  with  less  care  than 
some  of  the  great  layers  or  great  meat 
producers. 

The  LeghornB  cannot  be  classed  as 
general  purpose  fowls,  because  they  do 
not  hatch  their  own  eggB.  A  general 
purpose  fowl  must  be  good  for  everything 
that  is  required  of  the  hen.  She  must 
lay  agoodly  number  of  eggs,  taka  on  flesh 
when  wanted  for  the  proper  season.  In 
addition  to  this  tbey  are  valuable  when 
the  motherly  instinct  prompts  them  to 
take  good  care  of  the  small  fry. — Stockman

Regulations  for  Shipping  Live  Stock. 


Washington',  July  28 — Regulations  for 
the  shipment  of  live  Btock  under  the 
twenty-eigbt-hour  law  in  the  matter  of 
feed  and  rest  of  stock  in  transit  were  com- 
pleted today  by  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. The  recommendations  as  to  the 
department's  attitude  on  the  question 
were  prepared  by  Dr.  D.  E.  Salmon,  chief 
of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  and 
approved  by  Sectetary  WiUon,  are  as 
follows : 

"The  statute  provides  for  the  shipment 
of  live  Btock  without  unloading  en-roate 
under  certain  conditions.  I  have  in- 
vestigated the  subject  and  would  re- 
spectfully recommend  that  the  depart- 
ment approve  aB  being  in  compliance 
with  the  statute  all  shipments  of  cattle 
in  transit  for  more  than  twenty-eight 
consecutive  hours  made  under  the  follow- 
ing conditions : 

"First,  that  the  cars  containing  the 
cattle  shall  be  equipped  with  hay  racks, 
each  lineal  foot  of  which  shall  have  a 
capacity  of  not  less  than  one  cubic  foot 
extending  along  the  sides  of  the  cars  from 
the  doors  to  the  end,  and  that  the  cars 
shall  be  bo  arranged  that  the  racks  may  be 
readily  filled  with  hay  through  openings 
in  the  car  roof. 

"Second,  that  the  cars  shall  be  fitted 
with  semi-cylindrical  watering  troughB  of 
galvanized  iron  not  lesB  than  fifteen 
inches  deep  by  not  less  than  twelve  incheB 
wide  across  the  top,  inside  measurement, 
with  tbe  inner  edge  curved  to  retain  the 
water  and  facilitate  filling.  The  trough 
is  to  be  placed  in  proper  position  along 
the  side  of  the  errs  and  extend  from  the 
doors  to  the  end.  All  troughs  are  to  be 
bo  arranged  that  they  can  be  readily  filled 
with  water  and  emptied  on  the  outside  of 
the  car,  and  the  troughs  be  kept  free  from 
all  litter  and  filth. 

"Third,  food  and  water  to  be  supplied 
at  intervals  not  exceeding  twenty-eight 
hours,  while  the  BhipmentB  are  in  transit, 
and  in  supplying  water  each  car  to  be 
stopped  for  at  least  five  minutes,  during 
which  time  the  troughs  shall  be  kept 
filled  with  clear  water,  and  all  animals 
given  an  opportunity  to  drink. 

"Fourth,  in  order  that  the  cattle  may 
have  sufficient  space  and  opportunity  to 
rest  the  cars  shall  not  be  overloaded,  and 
in  all  shipments  there  shall  be  room  in 
each  car  for  at  least  one-third  of  the  cattle 
to  lie  down  at  the  same  time.  The  num- 
ber of  head  of  cattle  that  may  be  carried 
in  a  thirty-six-foot  car  is  shown  in  the 
following  table,  according  to  the  live 
weight: 

Average  live  weight  and  head  for  thirty- 
six-foot  car  respectively.  700,  23;  800,  22;

muBt  show  marked  evidence  of  ripene 
and  maturity.  The  two  must  go  hand

Maturity  may  be  reached  at  different  ag, 
and  weights. 

The  quality  of  a  prime  hog  is  indicat. 
by  a  medium  size,  fine,  clean  cut  hea 
without  surplus  fat  or  wrinkles  of  Bhi 
medium  sized  ears  of  fine  texture,  ha 
that  is  fine,  straight,  silky,  and  lies  clo 
to  body.  Skin  smooth,  pliable  and  in

tail,  medium  size.  No  undue  coarsene

across  the  back,  wide  and  well  filled  ban 
and  shoulders,  short,  heavy  neck,  hea* 
jowls  and  short  legB.  He  must  be  ayn 
metrical,  smooth  and  compact. 

He  must  be  well  covered  with  a  thic 
layer  of  fat  on  tbe  outside  of  the  carcas

face,  have  a  broad,  fat  back,  with  mue 
fat  on  sides  and  belly  and  be  well  filled  i 
flankB  and  twist.  He  must,  however,  b

Breed  to  the  Right  Stallion. 


Horses  and  mules  of  the  right  sort 
bringing  paying  prices  on  the  marketi 
The  undersized,  scrubby  ones  bring  th 
bottom  prices.  Many  farmers  are  dii 
gusted  with  raising  horses  because  the 
unfortunately  pay  little  attention  t 
breed  or  conformation  of  sire  or  dan: 
and  the  result  is  disappointment  in  nit 
cases  out  of  ten.  There  has  never  bee 
a  much  better  demand  for  good  shaped 
active,  fair-sized  horsss  and  mules 
Breed  the  right  Bort  and  then  let  th 
colt6  have  all  the  grain  and  bright  ha; 
they  will  eat  up  clean.  Do  not  stin 
them.  There  Is  a  great  future  for  th 
judicious  horse  and  mule  breeder. 


We  hear  a  great  deal  now  about  breec 
type  and  characteristics,  and  it  is  righ 
that  breeders  should  pay  attention 
these  things.  But  firBt  and  foremost  th' 
form  and  function  that  produces  the  moe| 
profit  muBt  be  observed.  We  have  Beer 
breederB,  in  looking  over  pure  brec, 
animals — hogs  for  instance— when  the; 
would  evidently  entirely  ignore  a  broat 
back,  well-filled  hams,  good  length  o 
body  and  strong,  clean  bone,  and  talk 
long  and  loud  against  the  animal  becauBt 
one  hind  foot  was  black  when  they  woulc? 
rather  have  bad  it  white  to  conform  tc 
the  ideal  marking.  We  agree  that  for  »i 
pure  bred  animal  it  would  haye  been  i 
good  thing  to  have  had  it  juBt  right,  but 
of  the  two — a  white  foot  or  a  profitable 
meat  making  form — we  would  certainly 
have  greater  admiration  for  the  form. 
Usefulness  muBt  be  the  first  requirement..

One  of  the  most  difficult  questions  to 
lecide  in  the  commencement  of  poultry 
:eeping  is  the  selection  of  a  breed  from 
vhieh  the  best  results  can  be  obtained, 
ays  American  Poultry  Advocate.  Many 
.  beginner  has  spent  money,  labor  and 
^ime  trying  different  breeds  before  the 
>ne  has  been  found  that  was  beet  adapted 

0  his  situation  and  requirements. 

1  It  is  known  that  certain  breeds  have 
'ualities  peculiar  to  themselves,  as  for 
nstance  Wyandottes  excel  as  broilers ; 
Leghorns  aB  egg  producers;   BrahmaB  in 

esh  and  weight;  white  Plymouth  Rocks 
pproach  nearest  to  the  beet  all  purpose 
jwls,  and  so  on.  Besides  this,  however, 
c  would  appear  that  every  man  or  woman 
;ho  has  a  liking  for  poultry  keeping  has 
ome  one  breed  with  which  they  would  be 
lore  successful  than  with  any  other, 
'hey  Eeem  to  understand  this  breed 
etter,  push  it  to  the  best  advantage  and 
om  it  obtain  the  beBt  results.  Even 
•hen  two  or  more  breeds  are  kept,  one 
•ill  usually  be  the  favorite.  There  is 
ttle  doubt  that  the  poultry  keepers  who 
re  making  the  moBt,  and  are  the  most 
iccessful  are  the  ones  that  are  specialists 
itn  one  particular  breed. 
While  the  situation  of  the  place  on 
hich  poultry  is  to  be  kept  should  never 
s  lost  Bight  of  by  the  beginner,  its 
iaptability  to  certain  requirements  as 
>  whether  eggs,  broilers  or  market 
jultry  would  bring  the  best  results,  still 
ter  all  it  is  in  perfecting   a   breed  that 

e  most  money  is  made  in  the  end,  and 
lerefore  the  taste  and  liking  of  a  beginner 

mating  a  choice  of  a  breed  should  play 
i  important  part. 

In  perfecting  a  breed  and  in   its   right 

re,  handling  and  management  so   that 

ock    and    eggs    can    be    sold    to    other 

ociers,  one  is  not  brought  into  active 

mpetition  with  every  farmer  or  keeper 

•'  a  few  hens,  as  is  the  case  in  the  Bale 

•  eggs  or  market  poultry.    Therefore  in 

le  lines  of  thiB  special  endeavor  better 

isults  can  be  obtained. 

ft  would  seem  then  that  after  the  special 

iquirements  of  the   situation  are   taken 

i:o  consideration,  it  would   be  best  to 

coose  that   breed   which   one  likes  the 

ht  or  those  that  approach   nearest  to 

t!se  requirements.

Green  Bone  for  Fowls. 


,ts  an  egg  producer  green  bone   has   no 

eial.     Of    course,   it    must    be  fed   in 

.  nderation    and    in    connection    with   a 

e  Scient  supply  of  everything  else  that 

a  lying  hen  needs. 

'here  is  a   gieat   difference    in  green 
bjie;  some  material  from  the  meat  mar- 
ks is  permitted  to  remain   in  the  heat 
:  0  il  it  is  unfit  to  feed  to  anything.     Such 
"slff  is  objectionable  in  every  way.    A 
Inn  that  would   feed   decayed   material 
itoens  is  not  the  kind  of  man  to  deal 
,  w|b.    It  is  liable  to  lead  to  disease  in 
U  poultry  and   it  is  sure  to  impart  a 
„  fljor  to  the  eggs. 

|  Jean  cut  bone  varies  in  quality  because 
sqietimes  there  is  much  more  meat  scrap 
wb  it  than  at  other  times.  The  raw 
nnt  scrap  probably  is  more  valuable 
tli  the  cut  bone,  but  a  reasonable  mix- 
ta i  of  the  two  should  be  secured  if 
pqiible.

WirH     THE 


Oleo  Scandal  Exposed. 


Dairy  and  Food  Commissioner  Warren 
of  Pennsylvania  informs  President  Roose- 
velt that  oleo  colt red  with  azo,  a  poison- 
ous coal  tar  dve,  has  been  sold  for  the 
best  dairy  butter  to  all  the  United  States 
ships,  the  cjmp,  marine  barracks  and 
hospital  at  League  Island  for  many 
montbs.  He  also  charged  that  the  United 
States  officers  had  knowledge  of  this  oleo 
traffic  as  far  back  as  March  25th.  Two 
samples  of  supposed  butter  taken  on 
board  the  receiving  ship  Lancaster,  and 
one  on  the  battleship  Massachusetts  were 
found  to  be  colored  oleomargarine,  as  also 
were  the  samples  taken  from  the  bar- 
racks and  the  aun  boat  Scorpion. 

It  is  understood  that  the  contract  with 
the  federal  government,  under  which 
this  oleomargarine  is  furnished,  expressly 
stipulates  for  fresh  butter,  "extra  cream- 
ery." If  tbiB  is  so  the  government  is  not 
getting  under  this  contract  what  it  has 
a  right  to  get,  and  what  the  contractor 
agreed  to  furnish,  but  a  much  cheaper 
and  inferior  article,  and  is  thus  being 
defrauded.  Sot  only  that,  but  an  unfair 
advantage  is  being  taken  of  honest  bidders 
for  this  contract. 

Mr.  Warren,  in  a  detailed  letter  to  the 
President,  said:  "Our  department  in  this 
matter  is  acting  with  the  single  purpose 
of  protecting  the  public  from  fraud,  and 
to  protect  the  dairy  interests  of  the  state, 
and  we  cannot  proceed  ourselves,  as  it  is 
a  violation  of  the  United  States  statute, 
and  the  only  effective  way  to  accomplish 
the  purpose  we  have  in  mind  is  through 
a  prosecution  by  the  federal  government. " 
The  President  at  once  called  a  confer- 
ence at  which  were  Commissioner  War- 
ren and  the  attorney  for  the  dairy  and 
food  commission  of  Pennsylvania.  The 
meeting  was  presided  over  by  President 
Roosevelt,  who  assured  the  dairymen 
that  the  matter  would  receive  prompt 
consideration  by  the  proper  officials  of 
the  federal  government,  a  ter  which  an 
order  for  a  complete  investigation  by  the 
navy  department  was  made.— Ezthange- 

o 

Quality  in  Native  Steers. 

The  principal  cause  of  lack  of  quality 
among  home-bred  steers  is  not  due  so 
much  to  lack  of  infusion  of  pure  blood  as 
to  the  indiscriminate  admixture  of  the 
blood  of  breeds  of  both  beef  and  fatly 
types. 

The  practice  of  shifting  frequently  from 
one  line  of  meat  production  to  another, 
or  from  meat  making  to  dairying,  with 
the  ups  and  downs  of  the  markets,  has 
brought  with  it  disastrous  result?.  It  is 
this  practice  which  has  led  to  more  or  less 
breeding  back  and  forth  of  the  same 
females  to  beef  or  dairy  sires  and  the  con- 
sequent production  of  mixed  types.  In 
shifting  from  one  line  of  meat  production 
to  another  while  the  few  may  make  so- 
called  lucky  hits,  in  general  the  practice 
is  disastrous,  if  we  are  to  succeed  we 
must  adhere  tenaciously  to  fixed  lines  of 
production. 

The  individual  who  can  speedily  and 
successfully  adapt  himself  to  radical 
changeB  is  extremely  rare.  We  desire  to 
issue  a  word  of  warning  concern 
purchase  of  young  cattle  for  grazing  or 
feeding  from  dealers  who  occasionally 
pick  up  so  called  bargains  in  stock.

This  Truok  is  the  result  of  years  of  endeavor  to  produce  a  wagon  that  has  great 

carrying  capacity,  ample  strength  without  superfluous  weight,  low 

enough  to  the  ground  to  minimize  the  labor  of  loading. 

Can  turn  short  among  trees,  and  can  be  used  on 

the  roads  as  well  as  on  the  farm.

A  RACING  LAW  is  needed  in  California  and  the 
wners,  breeders  and  trainers  of  harness  horses  should 
nite  in  an  effort  to  have  a  reasonable  statute  gov- 
rning  racing  passed  at  the  next  session  of  the  Legis- 
iture.  One  has  only  to  read  the  daily  press  to  know 
hat    all    over    this    country,    except    in    those    States 

!>here  such  laws  are  in   force,   the  harness  meetings 
re  being  interfered  with,  and  will  continue  so  to  be, 
nless  horsemen  organize  for  the  protection  of  their 
nterests.     It  is  perfectly  plain  to  all  that  this  fight 
:  gainst  betting  on  speed  contests  was  not  inaugurated 
1  ,o  suppress  harness  racing,   but  has  been   instigated 
Ln  account   of  the   long   continued   running  meetings 
I   nd  the  presence  of  pool  rooms.     Ohio,  Illinois,  Mis- 
ouri,    Indiana,    New   Jersey   and   many   other    States 
iave    laws    prohibiting    betting    on    horse    races,    and 
■hese  laws  were  passed  with  the  sole  purpose  of  clos- 
'ig  the  pool  rooms  and  stopping  the  running  meet- 
ras  which   had   fallen   into   the   hands   of,    and   were 
leing  conducted  by  race  track  gamblers.     "We  do  not 
*  Relieve    there   is    a    community    in   the    United    States 
I  '.'here  a  week  of  clean  racing  would  not  be  welcome, 
's  nine-tenths    of   the   people    love    good   horses    and 
njoy   seeing   them   race,   but   if  the  pool  rooms   and 
ookmakers'  meetings  can  be  suppressed  in  no  other 
ay  than  by  prohibiting  all  betting,  then  these  com- 
munities will  willingly  agree  to   such  prohibition,   as 
he  sentiment  of  the  majority  of  the  people  in   this 
ountry  is  that  race  track  gambling  is   an   evil   that

hat  betting  on   horse  races   is  no   greater  evil   than 
ambling  in  wheat  or  other  futures.     The   thing  for

bench  of  San  Joaquin  County,  where  he  served  until 
1S74.  Judge  Greene  resigned  and  went  to  Oakland 
in  1875,  where  he  followed  his  profession  until  1S79, 
when  he  was  elected  Superior  Judge.  Election  after 
election  followed  with  Judge  Greene  always  returned 
by  a  large  vote.  A  year  or  so  ago  his  health  began 
to  fail  and  he-  slowly  declined.  At  times  a  serious 
throat  trouble  gave  his  family  cause  for  grave  alarm, 
but  he  resisted  the  encroachment  of  the  disease  with 
the  strong  will  that  was  characteristic  of  the  man. 
Judge  "Greene  married  Isabelle  Webster  fn  1869.  He 
lost  his  wife  in  1S93,  and  his  high  devotion  to  his 
family  has  been  one  of  his  chief  characteristics.  Four 
children  survive  him — Mr*.  J.  B.  R.  Cooper  of  Mon- 
terey, Mrs.  Lathrop  W.  Jewett  of  San  Francisco,  Carl- 
ton W.  Greene,  also  of  this  city,  and  Laurence  L. 
Greene,  deputy  prosecuting  attorney  of  Oakland. 

Cherishing  a  great  love  for  the  trotting  horse,  Judge 
Greene  had  been  a  breeder  of  fine  stock  since  his 
boyhood.  He  brought  the  stallion  Winthrop  505  to 
this  State  in  1870,  and  always  owned  a  few  well  bred 
trotting  mares  that  he  mated  to  the  best  stallions 
in  the  State.  He  was  a  close  friend  of  the  late  Count 
Valensin  and  acted  as  one  of  the  executors  of  that 
gentleman's  estate,  sending  the  stallion  Sidney  and  a 
number  of  other  horses  from  the  Valensin  farm  to 
New  York,  where  they  were  sold  by  the  lat*e  Peter 
C. Kellogg.  Among  the  horses  bred  by  Judge  Greene 
was  that  good  winner  and  fast  trotter  Judge  Greene 
2:09  which  East  View  Farm  leased  and  raced,  and 
was  named  by  Monroe  Salisbury  for  his  owner  when 
making  the  entries."  Many  other  horses  with  records, 
and  stallions  and  mares  that  have  produced  standard 
speed  were  bred  by  Judge  Greene.*  He  was  a  grand 
character — one  of  those  straightforward,  dignified,  yet 
approachable,  men  who  attracted  men  to  him  by  his 
cordial  manner,  and  commanded  their  respect  by  his 
unswerving  rectitude.  His  death  is  a  loss  to  Cali- 
fornia. 


WHILE  WE  BELIEVE  that  wagering  on  speed  con- 
tests is  no  crime,  and  when  indulged  in,  as  it  is  at 
county  fairs  and  short  meetings,  is  a  clean,  legitimate 
sport,  we  take  no  stock  in  the  argument  raised  by 
some  that  harness  racing  cannot  be  conducted  without 
it.  For  proof  of  this  the  following  from  that  reliable 
journal,  the  Western  Horseman,  is  good  testimony: 

"That  one's  loss  is  another's  gain  was  never  truer 
than  is  the  case  iri  the  present  situation  in  harness 
horse  racing.  The  anti-pool  selling  crusade  is  hard 
on  many  trotting  associations,  but  it  will  prove  a  har- 
vest for  the  county.-  district  and  State  fair  associa- 
tions, most  of  which  never  have  pool  selling  in  con- 
nection-with  their  races.  The  inevitable  effect  of  the 
interference  with  the  strictly  racing  meetings  will  be 
a  great  rush  of  horses  to  the  fair  meetings  at  which 
good  purses-  are.-,  offered  in  the  speed  department. 
This  will  draw  greater  crowds  to  the  fairs,  and  hence 
gr.ea.tlj*   help   11k-   fair  associations  financially." 


THE  DEATH  of  Hon.  William  Ellsworth  Greene, 
Superior  Judge  of  Alameda  County,  California,  which 
ccurred  in  this  city  early  Monday  evening  of  this 
reek,  has  removed  from  this  earthly  sphere  one  of 
he  leading  jurists  of  California,  and  one  who  had 
evoted  much  time  and  thought  to  the  breeding  of 
he  trotting  horse,  a  love  for  that  noble  animal  having 
■een  acquired  by  him  when  a  boy  in  the  State  of 
laine,  of  which  he  was  a  naitve.  Judge  Greene  was 
Superior  Judge  of  Alameda  County  at  the  time  of  his 
eath  and  had  occupied  a  place  on  the  bench  there 
or  twenty-five  years.  He  was  born  in  Farmington, 
fe.,  November  14,  1836.  He  was  educated  in  the 
ublic  schools  and  was  graduated  from  Bowdoin  Col- 
;ge,  one  of  New  England's  famous  institutions.  In 
863  he  came  to  California  and  taught  in  the  public 
3hools  of  Stoctkon  for  a  short  time,  following  that 
sperience  by  entering  the  legal  profession.  During 
le  Presidential  campaign  of  1864  Judge  Greene  took 
n  active  part  in  this  State,  touring  San  Joaquin 
ounty  for  the  re-election  of  Abraham  Lincoln.  From 
ie  birth  of  the  Republican  party  he  was  an  ardent 
artisan,  although  his  subsequent  elevation  to  the 
ench  precluded  much  further  public  effort  in  that 
irection.  In  1865  he  was  elected  to  the  Assembly 
•om  San  Joaquin  County  and  in  the  Legislature  voted 
a.  the  amendment  to  the  constitution  of  the  United 
tates  abolishing  slavery.  For  two  years .  afterward 
e  practiced  law  and   In   1SC3   took,  his   seat   on   the 


HORSES  SHOLTLD  BE  EDUCATED  to  meet  an 
automobile  on  the  road  or  elsewhere  without  fright. 
fThe  devil  wagons  have  come  to  stay,  and  the  horse 
owner  -who  is  wise  will  see  that  his  horses  are  accus- 
tomed to  the  noise  and  smell  of  the  machines,  and 
(does  not  fear  them  in  the  daylight  or  when  they  are 
approaching  him  at  night  with  headlights  looking 
like  the  glaring  eyeballs  of  the  fierce  Numidian  lion. 
The  motors  have  come  to  stay  and  every  intelligent 
horse  breeder  will  recognize  this  fact  and  also  the 
one  that  they  have  not  nor  will  not  lessen  the  de- 
mand for  good  horses.  As  horses  in  the  city  are  of 
little  value  that  are  afraid  of  motor  vehicles  of  any 
kind,  so  horses  in  the  country  will  not  find  ready  sale 
if  they  are  afraid  of  steam  or  electric  cars  or  the 
benzine  buggies.  Electricity  is  moving  car  lines  all 
through  the  country  where  steam  cars  cannot  go 
except  at  great  expense,  and  the  country  horse,  to 
be  of  value,  must  now  be  "city  broke  and  fearless  of 
all  objects."  The  wise  owner,  who  cares  for  his  own 
safety  and  that  of  his  family,  or  who  expects  to  real- 
ize the  worth  of  a  horse  when  offering  him  for  sale, 
will  see  that  he  is  made  familiar  with  automobiles 
in  all  their  various  speeds,  culors  and  sizes,  as  well 
as  odoriferous  variety.  It  is  the  condition  of  their 
presence  and  not  the  theory  of  their  being  a  nuisance 
that  confronts  the  horse  owner  at  the  present  time.

him  this  year.

The  track  at  the  new  State  Pair  grounds  at  Sacs 
mento  has  been  completed.  It  was  constructed  und< 
the  supervision  of  A.  M.  Allen,  who  laid  out  the  Tai 
foran.  Oakland,  Ingleside  and  Ascot  Park  tracks,  ar 
..Js  considered  the  leading  race  track"  builder  in  Amei 
ica.  William  Fieldwick.  superintendent,  of  the  Cal 
fornia  Jockey  Club,  will  put  the  new  tract  in  shaj 
for  the  races  to  be  held  fair  week,  which  will  begi 
September  2d  The  soil  of  the  track  is  yellow  cla 
the  very  best  for  the  purpose,  and  trotters  and  pacei 
should  go  very  fast  over  it  if  it  is  properly  worked, 


Directe,  a  brown  three-year-old  filly  by  Direct 
2: 05 *£  out  of  Bessie  R  2:25%  by  Prance,  recently 
trotted  a  mile  over  the  Empire  track,  driven  by  John 
Daly,  in  2.15%,  the  last  half  in  1:04%.  This  filly  is 
owned  by  Mr.  P.  T.  Steinway  of  New  York,  and  is 
entered  in  the  Kentucky  Futurity. 


Mack  Mack  beat  2:10  at  Detroit  in  the  second  heat 
of  the  2:12  trot  won  by  Sadie  Mac  in  2:0S%  The 
McKinney  gelding  was  second  in  that  heat,  about 
three  lengths  back.  The  eastern  horsemen  say  he  will 
get  a  record  of  2:10  or  better  the  first  time  he  wins  a 
heat. 


At  the  conclusion  of  the  Chamber  of  Commen 
Walter  Direct  was  presented  with  a  superb  flor; 
trophy  by  the  Detroit  Association,  while  both  tr 
horse  and  Geers  received  ovations  from  the  crowi 
The  victory  was  especially  popular  on  account  of  Wa 
ter  Direct  being  the  personal  property  of  Geers  hin 
self.  The  "Silent  Man"  has  now  won  the  C-  of  < 
in  three  of  the  last  four  renewals.  Last  year  t 
piloted  Baron  Grattan.  and  in  1902  he  was  behind  D 
rect  Hal,  who  is  the  sire  of  Walter  Direct.  Dire 
Hal  never  lost  a  race  that  season,  and  it  is  predictc 
that  the  son  will  eclipse  the  record  of  the  sire  Geei 
considers  him  a  better  horse,  and  so  do  all  the  critic 


Mr.  A.  B.  Gwathmey  will  match  his  gelding  Tiver- 
ton 2:04%  against  any  trotter  in  the  world  for  $10,000 
a  side,  and  he  don't  bar  Lou  Dillon.  Major  Delmar  or 
Sweet  Marie.  Mr.  Gwathmey  has  a  great  trotter,  one 
of  the  fastest  ever  hooked  up.  but  the  trotter's  speed 
cannot  equal  his  owner's  faith  and  gameness. 


The  trotting  stallion  Starboul  by  Stamboul  2:07%, 
owned  by  C.  W  H.  Doubler,  Warren,  111.,  dropped  dead 
recently  from  heart  disease.  He  was  bred  by  the  late 
L.  J.  Rose  and  foaled  the  property  of  Owens  Bros, 
of  Fresno.  His  dam  was  Madam  Harding  by  Over- 
land, son  of  Bald  Chief,  second  dam  Kate  Taber  by 
Mambrino  Messenger. 


Mrs.  L.  J.  Hastings  of  Los  Angeles  offers  h< 
grandly  bred  stallion  Sky  Pointer  Jr.  for  sale.  Th 
horse  is  by  Sky  Pointer,  an  own  brother  to  the  foi 
mer  champion  Star  Pointer  1:59%,  and  his  dam 
the  McKinney  mare  Juliet  D.  2:13%,  dam  of  la: 
year's  four-year-old  champion,  Irish  2:08%.  SI* 
Pointer  died  while  a  young  horse  and  left  but  fe 
colts.  One  of  his  get,  Sally  Pointer,  took  a  record  < 
2:13%  recently  on  one  of  the  eastern  tracks  and 
expected  to  lower  this  mark  several  seconds  befoi 
the  year  is  out.  Sky  Pointer  Jr.  is  a  handsome  sta 
lion  and  his  colts  are  a  very  promising  lot.  He  wi 
be  sold   reasonable.     See  advertisement. 


Ii  is  very  likely  that  a  fair  and  race  meeting  will  be 
held  during  the  latter  part  of  September  at  the  Con- 
cord, Contra  Costa  county,  track.  The  parties  who 
hold  a  mortgage  on  the  property  are  negotiating  for 
its  purchase,  and  their  intention  is  to  make  many  im- 
provements in  the  buildings,  etc..  should  the  grounds 
ccme    into    their   possession. 


The  law  which  provided  an  appropriation  for  tr 
California  State  Pair  prohibits  the  directors  froi 
permitting  betting  or  gambling  of  any  kind  on  tr 
State  Fair  grounds.  It  is  said  that  parties  have  Si 
cured  a  place  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  road  froi 
the  main  entrance  and  will  sell  pools  and  make  boo* 
on  the  result  of  all  the  races.  All  the  patrons  of  tl 
fair  who  desire  to  bet  will  have  to  do  will  be  to  secui 
a  return  check  and  step  across  the  street,  where  the 
can  back  the  horses  to  their  hearts'  content.  Thei 
are  more  ways  than  one  to  remove  the  external  men: 
branous   integument  from   a  feline. 


Bert  Horton,  the  brown  pacing  gelding  owned  by  a 
man  named  Corbett,  is  racing  through  the  North  Da- 
kota circuit  under  the  name  of  Brett,  and  winning 
about  everything  he  goes  after.  He  was  entered  in 
some  of  the  Montana  races  last  year,  but  some  of 
the  boys  got  on  to  him  and  he  was  not  started.  If 
may  he  that  Brett  s  the  notorious  Fred  Wilton 
2:09%,   mentioned   elsewhere  in  this   issue. 


.1.  M.  Herbert  of  Denver,  owns  a  filly  sired  by  Wal- 
ter Direct  2:05-%,  winner  of  this  year's  Chamber  of 
Commerce  stake.  Walter  Direct  served  a  few  mares 
beforei  he  was  put  in  training  and  Mr.  Herbert  was 
one  of  the  fortunate  ones  to  send  a  mare  to  him  The 
mare  is  by  Directly  2:03%  and  her  dam  by  Star 
Pointer  1.59%.  The  filly  is  pacing  bred  with  a  ven- 
geance. 


Can  any  horse  named  in  the  2:09  pace  make  Zoloc 
beat  his  record  of  2.05%  to  win  at  Santa  Rosa?  Th 
question  is  asked  every  day  where  California  horsi 
men  meet.  If  Daedalion  is  all  right,  the  first  heat  wi 
be  faster  than  2:06,  and  Kelly  Briggs  is  known  to  tj 
able  to  beat  2:07  three  times  when  he  is  fit.  Ri 
H.  can  beat  any  horse  that  can't  show  better  tha 
2:09  three  times,  while  Miss  Idaho  must  be  reckone 
with  where  the  heats  are  around  2:08.  It  will  be 
horse  race  at  all  events,  and  with  good  day  and  trac 
Zolock  will  have  to  stretch  his  neck  to  win.  Th; 
race  will  be  paced  on  Friday,  the  third  day  of  th 
meeting.

Some  months  ago  Sam  Casto,  the  well-known  Ore- 
gon  trainer  and  horseman,  sued  Mrs.  Emma  Murray 
for  the  possession  of  the  stallion  Diablo  2:09%.  which 
he  claimed  he  was  entitled  to  under  a  lease.  The 
County  Court  wherein  the  suit  was  com  me  need  de- 
cided in  favor  of  Mrs.  Murray.  Mr.  Casio's  lawyers 
took  .in  appeal  to  the  Supreme  Court,  which  last

There  is  a  great  deal  of  ink  wasted  every  year  ove 
the  suggestion  of  new  plans  on  which  to  race  harnes 
horses,  but  the  old  three-in-five  seems  to  best  su| 
those  who  make  entries,  and  it  is  the  entrance  mone 
that  makes  harness  racing  go.  Nearly  all  the  asso 
ciations  comprising  the  Grand  Circuit  get  more  tha 
enough  entrance  money  to  pay  their  purses,  and  th 
gate  receipts  and  other  resources  are  large  enoug 
to  pay  a  profit  to  the  promoters.  It  is  all  very  we 
for  those  who  are  not  horsemen  to  talk  about  short 
ening  races,  and  giving  the  public  quick  action,  bi 
the  man  who  puts  up  $500  for  the  privilege  of  startinj 
in  a  $10,000  purse  agianst  a  big  field  of  horses,  like, 
to  have  as  many  chances  as  possible  to  get  some  ( 
the  money,  and  naturally  the  entries  fall  off  when  an 
conditions  are  made  that  will  lessen  the  number  c 
heats   to  three  in  every  race.

1     OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINIONS,     iff 


.     "Volunteer"  in  Horse  Review;     Four  great  trotters 

beat  2:10  at  the  meeting.     Dr.  Strong  took  a  record  of 

2:06,  Sadie  Mac  one  of  2:06^,  Tom  Axworthy  one  of 

,2:07  and  Glenwood  M.  one  of  2:08*4-     Among  these  it 

was  the  performance  of  Sadie  Mac  that  was  most  im- 

;  ipressive.     She  scored  so  fast  that  it  was  hard  for  the 

■  others  to  get  up  with  her,  and   when  the  word  was 

Ofiven    she   burst   away   at   a   2:02    gait   and   took   the 

.  (track  in  an  instant — and  it  was  all  over.     She  came 

home  in  2.06  ^>   with  her  head  swinging  and  her  ears 

,  pricked  and  it  seemed  impossible  at  first  that  the  mile 

j  ..'ould  be  so  fast  so  easily  was  it  trotted.     From  her 

manner  of  finishing — she  literally  romped  all  the  last 

eighth — it  was  not  illogical  to  believe  that  a  mile  in 

',  p:05  would  not  have  been  beyond  her. 

The  five-year-old.  daughter  of  Peter  the  Great  2:07% 
s,  veritably,  a  trotting  wonder.     Her  unbeaten  three- 
I  year-old  career  stamped  her  such,   but  she  is   today, 
aside   from   her  matureness   in   point   of  speed,   a  far 
i  superior   trotting  machine.      It    nilSst   be   placed   une- 
[Uivocally  to  Harry  Stinson's  credit  that  he  has  im- 
proved  her  in   every   way.      As   a   three-year-old   she 
^.nad  a  sort  of  stubby-going  gait   that   led  more  than 
i  >ne  critic  to  say  that  she  would  not  train  on  to  the 
ow  notch  that  others  predicted.     Stinson  has  eradi- 
ated this.     She  is  still  low-headed  and  low -gait  ed— 
.  mt  there  is,  at  the  same  time,  a  snap  and  elasticity 
ibout  her  action   that  is  new.     She  also  takes  more 
'nterest  in  the  game.     She   was  as  staid  as  a  brood 
"nare  in  former  days.     Now  she  is  full  of  gimp,  her 
'•yes  flash,  her  ears  play  back  and  forth  in  the  liveli- 
est   possible    fashion,    she    is    not    only    willing,    but 
[•ager.      And    bodily    she    looks    good    enough    to    eat. 
,  5he  was  always  robust,  with  a  big  place  for  her  din- 
.  |ier.     Now  she  caries  a  lot  of  flesh,  but  it  is  hard  and 
,r;irm,  and  she  sweats  out  as  clear  as  spring  water.    The 
.  rood  horsemen  simply  stared,  open-mouthed,  at  that 
J:: 06%    heat    and   remarked,    with    a   sort    of    comical 
inanimity:      "There  is  the  Sweet  Marie  of  1905." 
Ever  since  her  owner,   Miss  Wilks  of  the  Cruick- 
Tton  Park  Farm,  at  Gait,  Ont.,  began  investing  so  lib- 
rally  in  trotters,  two  years  ago,  every  one  has  been 
loping  to  see  her  get  a  "cracker jack."     In  Sadie  Mac 
he  has  surely  got   one. 


-     H.   M.   Hanna.    president   of  the   Cleveland   Driving 

Vark  Company,   says:      "About   September   1,   when  I 

ave  returned  from  my  vacation,  I  will  call  a  meeting 

rjff  the  board  of  directors  to  discuss  future  plans.     The 

.,  .ituation   will    be    carefully   gone   over,    including   the 

j  dvisability  of  again  asking  the  legislature  for  a  law 

•ermitting   pool   selling   for   a   few   days   of   the   year 

n  the  grounds  of  the  racing  track  companies.     Just 

.hat   will   be   decided   on  I   can   not  say,   nor   have   I 

lade  up  my  mind  yet  as  to  just  what  will  be  best  for 

*he  company   to   do;    whatever  is   done   will   be   sub- 

;  utted  to  the  stockholders  for  a  vote.     If  it  is  decided 

j  ask  for  another  pool  selling  law,  the  horsemen  of 

hs  State  will  aid  us  in  pushing  the  legislation.    Gov- 

I  rnor  Herrick,  I  believe,  will  be  defeated  this  fall, 
_'ot  only  through  the  influence  of  horsemen,  but 
'  hrough  the  influence  of  other  interests.  The  Iegis- 
'  Uure  will  represent   the  people  as   it   did  two  years 

go.      Then    we    had    a    two-to-one    majority    on    the . 

(ool  bill  in  the  house,  and  a  safe  majority  in  the  sen-. 

te.    John  M.  Patison,  the  Democratic  candidate,  who 

.-111  be  elected,  I  consider  a  safe  man,  and  I  do  not 

3  hink  that  he  will  veto  any  pool  selling  bill  that  can 
je  gotten  through  the  legislature,  notwithstanding 
j  is  alliance  with  the  temperance  people.    As  the  peo- 

le  will  demand  a  pool1  selling  bill,  and  Pattison  will 
J  ecognize  the  wishes  of  the  people,  there  is  still  hope 
>r  us." 

s  Spirit  of  the  West:  The  horse  "man's  best  friend" 
,>  as  been  a  great  factor  in  the  growth  of  civilization 
■j  l  all  nations,  as  far  back  as  the  history  of  man  can 
[V  e  traced.  Likewise,  the  horse  has  always  been  the 
lost  important  factor  in  the  growth  and  develop- 
lent  of  commercial  life  in  all  countries.    Many  inven- 

4  ons  the  past  half  century,  such  as  railroads  and 
i;  ew  and  improved  farm  machinery,  has  not  in  the  least 
■\i  iminished  the  necessity  of  increasing  the  horse 
j  roduct  of  the  country.  In  fact,  at  no  time  within  the 
i  ast  twenty-five  years  has  the  production  of  horses 
ireen  as  remunerative  to  the  producer  as  at  the  present 
m  me.  About  fifteen  years  ago,  when  the  bicycle  man- 
>:  facturers  reaped  a  rich   harvest,   and,   in   due   time, 

II  >st  millions  of  dollars  on  account  of  the  discarding 
r  ;F  the  bicycle,  the  daily  newspapers  and  some  of  the 
l  ading  magazines  were  filled  with  articles  on  the 
i    massing  of  the  horse."     But  the  noble  horse  did  not 

ass  out  of  use.    Instead,  he  continued  to  move  in  good 

i)  >ciety,  wore  tailor-made  wearing  apparel  and  dined 

%'■!.  pedigreed   oats,   corn   and  hay.     After   the  bicycle 

■aze    died   away,    the    manufacturers   of    the    lifeless 

vo-wheeled  vehicle  turned  their  attention  to  the  au- 

■"   "mobile,  and,  like  the  bicycle,  they  have  spent  mil- 

^'sns  in  manufacturing  and  advertising  and  have  suc- 

>">';eded   in    creating  no    small    amount    of   enthusiasm 

'■id  many  sales.     However,  already  in  the  want  and 

ai  »r  sale  columns  of  all  the  leading  daily  papers  may 

t-  5  found  any  day  'ads"  offering  for  sale  $750  autos  at 

>'■  lalf  price,"  including  a  half  barrel  of  gasoline,  or  a 

eal  ticket  to  pay  for  three  feeds  at  the  nearest  elec- 

ic  light   plant   where  storage  batteries  are  groomed 

>r  a  forty-mile  drive.    When  the  bicycle  craze  was  at 

s   zenith    city    municipalities    were    obliged    to    pass 

ringent  laws  to  govern  the  speed  of  the  bicyclers  and 

|<  protect  the  life  of  men.  women  and  children.     The 

[  ime    necessity    obtains    today    in    cities    due    to    the 

■ckless  auto  drivers.     The  auto  has  even  invaded  the 

iral   districts  and  the  farmers  are  crying  for  State 

gislntinn  to  regulate  the  machines  upon   the   public- 


highways.  Spirit  of  the  West's  candid  opinion  is  that 
before  the  State  has  time  to  legislate  the  auto  craze 
will  have  dropped  out  of  sight  just  as  the  bii  ycle 
craze  did.  Old  Dobbin  need  not  fear  that  his  useful- 
ness is  over,  or  that  he  will  ever  fall  in  disfavor  or 
disuse.  While  the  inventive  genius  of  the  bicycle  and 
the  auto  have  succeeded  in  producing  machines  that 
touch  the  fancy  and  the  pocketbooks  of  a  limited  num- 
ber of  people,  the  producer  of  horses  has  kept  right 
on  improving  the  blood,  the  type,  quality  and  class  of 
his  products,  totally  oblivious  to  the  inroads  of  a  few 
machines  that  in  due  time  will  augment  heaps  of  scrap 
iron  that  line  the  byways  in  all1  cities  and  towns. 


Trotter  and  Pacer:  The  need  of  a  thoroughly  well 
fused  and  disciplined  organization  of  horsemen  was 
probably  never  so  kenly  felt  in  this  coutnry  as  at  the 
present  time.  A  militant  sentiment  of  opposition  to 
the  race  tracks  seems  to  be  abroad,  and  it  bids  fair 
unless  checked  to  place  an  interdiction  upon  the  sport 
in  every  State  in  the  Union.  The  suppression  of  the 
speculative  feature  of  the  sport  is,  of  course,  the  thing 
aimed  at,  and  it  is  of  no  consequence  whatever  to  a 
class  of  narrow  people  whose  own  interests  are  not 
jeopardized  to  know  that  speculation  is  an  indis- 
pensable adjunct  of  horse  racing,  without  which  it 
could  not  exist  except  in  the  limited  connection  with 
ccunty  fairs.  A  thousand  good  and  enthusiastic 
horsemen  have  wished  that  horse  racing  might  be 
maintained  without  betting  and  hardly  any  of  them 
would  hesitate  to  make  the  sacrifice  so  far  as  their 
own  personal  inclinations  or  desires  are  concerned, 
but  there  has  never  yet  been  a  man  of  any  sense 
who  has  stood  up  and  maintained  that  horse  racing, 
as  an  independent  and  exclusive  diversion,  can  be  con- 
ducted without  pool  selling,  except  at  a  pecuniary 
sacrifice.  This  just  as  much  applies  to  the  operation 
of  trotting  as  running  tracks.  So  far  as  an  utter  de- 
pendence upon  this  auxiliary  to  the  sport  is  concerned, 
the  trotters  are  no  better  off  than  the  thoroughbreds. 
The  people  who  are  willing  to  destroy  the  whole  fab- 
ric of  racing  for  the  purpose  of  striking  at  a  feature 
of  it  which  under  certain  circumstances  may  be  pro- 
ductive of  evil,  are  very  intolerant  and  entirely  un- 
amenable to  reason.  They  are  not  to  be  denied  the 
possession  of  a  clean  and  lofty  motive,  but  they  are 
utterly  without  discretion  or  discrimination.  They  do 
not  realize  that  their  efforts,  if  successful,  have  a 
deeper  significance  than  the  mere  closing  of  tracks. 
They  imagine  that  the  only  serious  consequence  of 
closing  the  tracks  will  be  to  deprive  a  few  trainers 
and  drivers,  with  their  stable  dependents,  of  an  oc- 
cupation, while  as  a  matter  of  truth  that  result  would 
be  only  one  of  the  least  of  the  evils  which  would  fol- 
low their  action.  The  race  tracks  are  the  mainstay 
and  support  of  the  breeders  of  the  United  States, 
whose  business  represents  an  enormous  investment, 
and  whose  efforts  have  given  this  country  a  distinc- 
tion possessed  by  no  other  nation  in  the  world.  There 
is  justification  for  the  pool  selling  that  is  necessary 
to  keep  the  tracks  in  operation,  in  the  prosperity  and 
continued  growth  of  the  vast  breeding  industry,  and 
if  the  matter  could  be  presented  to  the  law-makers 
of  every  State  in  this  light  by  an  organization  truly 
representative  of  the  important  interests  behind  it, 
and  directed  with  moderation  of  demand  and  wisdom 
of  counsel,  there  is  little  doubt  that  it  would  receive 
consideration.  But  such  an  organization  is  something 
that  has  never  existed  and  probably  never  will.  There 
are  numbers  and  strength  in  the  ranks  of  the  horse- 
men, but  there  are  no  leaders  capable  of  fusing  the 
mass  into  a  homogenous  organization  for  concerted 
effort. 


THE    GAITS    OF    THE    SADDLE    HORSE. 


Concerning  the  gaits  there  is  much  misunderstand- 
ing, and  some  dispute.  All  horsemen  know  the  walk 
and  the  trot,  but  not  all  can  differentiate  a  canter 
from  a  gallop.  And  when  it  comes  to  the  rack  and 
the  slow  gaits,  most  horsemen  class  them  all  as 
"easy  gaits"  and  let  it  go  at  that.  As  in  many  other 
instances  in  live  stock  matters  where  a  little  learning 
is  a  dangerous  thing,  there  is  plenty  of  debate  over  the 
different  gaits  and  we  are  sometimes  asked  to  settle 
disputes  concerning  them.  A  bit  of  eye  education  is 
usually  necessary;  that  is,  an  illustration  of  the  gaits 
will  give  a  clearer  understanding  than  a  description 
of  them.  Here  is  a  sample  call  for  information  of  this 
character: 

"What  are  the  different  gaits  of  a  saddle  horse? 
Describe  the  movements  of  the  feet,  in  rotation  to 
each  other,  in  the  different  gaits.  Give  some  of  the 
details  in  training  a  saddle  horse  such  as  bridle,  bits, 
reins." 

The  natural  gaits  of  a  horse  are  the  walk,  trot  and 
gallop  or  run.  Artifically,  that  is  by  education,  the 
gallop  is  made  into  a  canter,  which  is  a  gait  per- 
formed by  practically  the  same  movement  of  the  legs, 
but  slower,  more  restrained  and  easier  to  ride.  We. 
then  have  one  kind  of  a  saddle  horse  called  the  walk- 
trot-canter  or  plain-gaited  horse.  This  horse  suUs 
a  lot  of  people  primarily  because  they  do  not  know  any 
other  gait;  secondarily  because  they  are  imitators  of 
the  English  fashion  of  riding,  and  lastly,  and  leastly, 
because  they  do  not  like  other  educated  gaits  which 
are  easier  on  the  rider. 

These  easier  gaits  are  the  running  walk  and  the 
rack.  The  latter  is  also  called  single-foot,  inasmuch 
as  in  this  gait  each  foot  has  a  separate  contact  on 
the  ground,  no  two  of  them  striking  it  at  the  same 
time,  as  in  the  trot  and  pace.  But  the  official  name 
of  this  gait  is  the  rack,  and  it  should  be  used.  The 
running  walk  is  .-ailed  a  slow  gait,  and  there  are  two 
other  gaits  allied  to  it,  the  slow  pace  nnd  the  fox- 
trot. The  slow  pace  is  also  sometimes  called  the  step- 
ping pace. 

The  name  running  walk  defines  the  gait  accurately 
and  at  once  identifies  it  to  the  understanding.  It  is 
faster    than    a   flat-foot    walk,    and    is    produced    by   a 


movement  of  the  legs  more  rapid  than  In  a  walk  but 
in  about  the  same  rhythm.  That  is,  each  foot  strikes 
the  ground  independently  of  the  other.  Most  horses 
going  the  running  walk  bob  or  nod  their  heads  and 
some  of  them  even  flop  their  ears  in  rhythm  with  their 
footfalls.  It  is  an  all-day  gait,  easy  alike  to  the  horse 
and  the  rider,  and  it  covers  ground  at  an  astonishing 
fashion  for  its  apparent  speed.  It  is  taught  by  urging 
a  horse  out  of  the  walk  but  restraining  him  from  a 
trot.  The  slow  pace  is  a  somewhat  similar  movement 
but  borders  more  on  the  sidewheel  gait  or  lateral  pace, 
in  which  the  two  feet  on  one  side  of  a  horse  strike 
the  ground  at  the  same  instant.  The  true  pace,  how- 
ever, is  in  no  sense  a  saddle  gait.  It  is  rough  and  un- 
comfortable. A  rider  can  not  rise  to  it  and  save  him- 
self, as  in  a  trot,  and  it  is  positively  the  worst  gait 
a  saddle  horse  can  possess.  In  the  slow  pace  this  side- 
wheel  motion  is  slightly  modified  so  that  the  impact 
on  the  ground  of  the  two  feet  on  a  side  is  broken,  thus 
avoiding  the  rolling  motion  of  the  harness  pace.  The 
slow  pace  is  a  very  comfortable  gait,  and  is  very 
showy,  especially  when  a  horse  throws  just  a  bit  of 
knee  action  into  it.  It  has  grown  common  in  the  show 
ring  during  recent  years,  as  saddle  . horse  trainers 
appreciate  its  catchy  qualities  and  endeavor  to  teach 
their  horses  to  go  this  gait.  The  best  saddle  horse 
men,  however,  do  not  look  on  it  with  favor  as  it  is  so 
easily  corrupted  into  the  abominable  side-wheel  pace, 
which  ruins  a  saddle  horse  for  comfortable  and  satis- 
factory work.  Unless  a  rider  is  careful  his  mount  may 
almost  imperceptibly  degenerate  from  a  distinct  and 
correct  slow  pace  into  a  plainly-defined  pace.  The  fox 
trot  is  a  slow  trot  or  a  jog-trot.  It  is  a  rather  pe- 
culiar gait  and  not  so  desirable  as  the  running  walk 
or  the  slow  pace.  Some  horses  can  not  acquire  either 
of  these  two  gaits  and  so  their  trainers  pull  them 
down  into  a  very  slow  trot  and  seek  to  pass  that  gait 
off  as  a  fox-trot.  It  is  a  broken-time  gait  in  a  meas- 
ure, somewhat  easier  than  a  pure  trot. 

The  trot  is  the  diagonal  gait.  The  off  fore  foot  and 
the  near  hind  foot  strike  the  ground  at  the  same 
instant  and  the  horse  bounds  off  them  to  hit  the 
ground  again  with  the  near  fore  and  the  off  hind. 
This  gives  a  two-beat  gait.  The  impact  of  the  feet 
on  the  ground  is  one,  two,  one,  two.  The  pace  is 
the  lateral  gait.  The  off  fore  and  off  hind  foot  hit  the 
ground  at  the  same  interval,  and  the  other  pair  on  the 
near  side  follow.  ThU  is  also  a  two-beat  gait.  The 
rack  is  a  four-beat  gait.  Each  foot  hits  the  ground 
at  a  separate  interval  in  a  one,  two,  three,  four  beat. 
The  rack  can  be  distinguished  by  ear  as  far  as  the 
footfalls  of  the  horse  may  be  heard;  each  foot  rings 
clear  its  own  note  on  the  hard  ground. 

In  teaching  the  rack  the  horse  is  forced  forward 
by  the  spur  and  restrained  by  the  curb.  His  diagonal 
gait  is  thereby  broken  up  and  he  flies  into  a  four- 
beat  gait.  The  rack  is  easy  for  the  rider,  hard  for  the 
horse.  It  is  a  showy  gait  and  is  performed  at  great 
speed  sometimes.  The  trainer  who  has  a  fast-racking 
horse  will  generally  keep  him  on  that  gait  in  the 
show  ring,  hoping  to  dazzle  the  judge  by  the  flashi- 
ness  of  the  performance.  Unfortunately  this  trick 
succeeds  many  times,  as  some  judges  are  too  ignorant 
or  too  unbalanced  to  demand  the  other  requisites  of 
a  saddle  horse.  Many  a  horse  has  racked  his  way  to 
fame  through  the  complacency  of  half-baked  judges 
who  proceed  in  the  apparent  belief  that  the  rack  is 
the  only  accomplishment  demanded  of  a  saddle  horse. 

The  five  gaits  recognized  by  the  American  Saddle 
Horse  Breeders"  Association  are  the  walk,  trot,  can- 
tor, rack  and  the  running  walk,  or  slow  pace,  or  fox- 
trot. Either  one  of  these  three  slow  gaits  will  an- 
swer. Some  horses  can  go  only  one  of  them,  some  can 
show  them  all.  When  a  horse  can  show  these  five 
gaits  he  is  called  a  gaited  horse. 

Saddle  horses  are  differentiated  by  their  gaits  into 
two  classes — the  walk-trot-canter  horse  and  the 
gaited  horse.  The  gaited  horse  can  do  all  that  the 
walk-trot  horse  can  do  and  more.  It  is  far  easier  to 
finish  up  a  three-gaited  horse  than  a  five-gaited 
horse,  and  saddle  horse  educators  have  not  been  dis- 
pleased at  the  growing  demand  for  three-gaited 
horses,    as  it  much   cheaper   to   furnish    them. 

The  mouth  of  a  saddle  horse  should  first  be  made 
on  a  snaffle  bit.  He  will  walk  and  trot  on  the 
snaffle,  he  will  rack  and  canter  on  the  curb.  The 
gaited  horse  is-  usually  ridden  with  curb  bit  and 
single-rein,  and  the  walk- trot-canter  horse  is  usu- 
ally ridden  with  bit  and  bridoon — that  is  the  double 
bit  or  curb  and  snaffle  with  a  pair  of  reins  for  each 
bit.  It  is  easier  to  communicate  through  a  horse's 
mouth  by  the  use  of  the  curb  and  the  snaffle  and 
two  pairs  of  reins — and  communication  with  a  sad- 
dle horse  should  largely  be  through  the  mouth,  as- 
sisted by  the  leg  and  heel. — Breeders'  Gazette. 


At  a  meeting  held  at  Columbia,  Missouri,  last  month 
\V.  i  r.  Foote  was  present  with  his  string,  and  noticed 
in  the  printed  list  that  his  pacer  Ed  C.  was  not  down 
in  the  printed  list  as  being  entered  in  the  2:35  pace. 
He  stated  the  fact  to  the  program  man,  and  the  latter 
printed  Ed  C.*s  name  on  the  program  among  the 
starters  in  the  2.35  class.  The  secretary  did  not  notice 
it,  and  Foote  started  the  horse  and  won  in  straight 
heats,  getting  a  mark  of  2:16^4  for  him.  After  the 
race  the  driver  of  the  second  horse  started  an  in- 
vestigation with  the  result  that  it  was  ascertained 
Ed  C.  was  not  entered  in  the  2:35  but  the  2:25  class[ 
So  the  owner  of  the  second  horse  got  first  money  and 
no  record  for  his  horse,  while  Foote  got  no  money 
Inii    :i    record   for  his. 


Admiral  Dewey,  the  brown  stallion  by  Bl 
2:06%.  dam  the  famous  Nancy  Hanks  2:04,  surprised 
the  horsemen  at  Readvitln  the  -lay  that  Sweet  Marie 
beat  Tiverton,  by  trotting  to  a  record  <>f  2:09*4  in  a 
trial  against  time.  Admiral  Dewey  todk  a  record  of 
2:14'.,  as  a  three-year-old  in  1901.  He  was  put  in 
training  again  this  year,  hut  had  been  but  one  mile 
better  than  2:20  prior  i"  his  ReadvIIle  performance.

in  the  ruck  most  of  the  time.    Bob,  a  handsome  little 

by    Allie    "Wilkes,    dropped    dead    in    the    first 

heat. 

The  three-year-old  trotters  put  up  an  excellent  and 
a  fast  race  for  the  01,000  Liquid  Veneer  stake.  Susie 
N.  by  Moko  won  the  second  heat  in  2:13%,  and  the 
first  and  third  heats  went  to  Katherine  L.  by  Liberty 
Chimes  in  2:1434  and  2:15.  The  Phantom,  East  View

Tuesday,  Second   Day. 

The  $10,000  Empire  State  Stake  for  2:10  trotters 
was  the  big  feature  of  the  second  day,  and  Peter  the 
Great's  handsome  daughter  Sadie  Mac  won  handily 
in  three  straight  heats,  all  below  2:10,  while  the  Cali- 
fornia bred  mare  Zephyr  by  Zombro  out  of  Zolock's 
dam  took  second  money  and  trotted  all  her  heats  in 
2:10  or  better.  Next  to  Sadie  Mac,  Zephyr  is  doubt- 
less the  highest  class  mare  that  is  starting  in  the  2:10 
classes  this  year,  and  her  record  of  2:11  will  be  low- 
ered two  or  three  seconds  before  the  season  is  over. 
Mamie  R.  and  Morosco  were  starters  in  this  race  but 
were  outside  the  money,  but  beat  the  fast  mare  Grace 
Bond  at  that.  Bonnie  Russell  was  up  third  in  the 
last  heat,  and  is  due  to  lower  his  record  of  2:10% 
before  long. 

In  the  2:09  pace  there  was  a  field  of  fast  ones,  the 
Allerton  horse  Allerson  winning  three  heats  in  very 
fast  time,  the  slowest  mile  being  2:06%.  The  Mon- 
terey horse  Irish  2:08%  was  third  in  the  last  heat  of 
this  race  and  Billy  Red's  sister  Josie  was  third  and 
fourth  respectively  in  the  other  two,  getting  fourth 
money. 

In  the  2.24  class  trot  Getaway  made  a  good  show- 
ing, being  second  in  one  heat  and  earning  third  money. 
All  the  heats  were  under  2:15,  the  second  being  in 
1:10  Uncle   Charley  Cahlll's   mare   Sister  Colette, 

an  own  sister  to  Charley  n  rr  2:07,  won  second  money 
and  trotted  a  good  game  race.  Brilliant  Girl  was  dis- 
tanced the  first  heat.     The  summaries:

Wednesday — Third    Day. 

Four  fine  races  were  trotted  and  paced  at  Buffalo  on 
the  third  day  of  the  meeting,  2:10  being  beaten  in 
every  event.  El  Geers  had  a  close  call  in  the  2:01 
pace.  When  in  the  third  heat  at  the  head  of  the 
stretch  Kins  Direct,  pacing  strongly,  struck  his  hoof 
through  the  wheel  of  Locanda's  sulky.  There  was  a 
tangle  of  horses,  sulkies  and  drivers,  almost  imme- 
diately swallowed  up  in  a  cloud  of  dust.  When  the 
scene'  cleared  up  Geers  was  seen  prostrate  on  the 
ground;  Driver  Snow  was  on  his  feet  making  his  way 
to  the  judges'  stand;  Locanda  had  been  safely  caught, 
and  King  Direct  had  started  on  a  wild  runaway,  drag- 
ging along  a  somewhat  shattered  sulky. 

Soon  stable  hands  and  others,  including  a  physi- 
cian, were  at  Geers'  side.  It  was  found  he  had  suf- 
fered a  bad  cut  of  his  leg  and  was  stunned,  but  he 
speedily  recovered  his  breath,  and  his  first  words 
were:  "Now  don't  make  a  hurrah  of  this  thing  and 
scare  everybody  to  death  for  nothing." 

To  show  he  was  all  right,  Geers  then  came  out, 
and  back  of  Turley  in  the  2:11  trot  which  followed,, 
won  the  deciding  heat,  being  given  a  tremendous  ova- 
tion. Locanda  had  two  heats  in  the  2:04  pace  when 
the  accident  occurred,  and  as  the  judges  found  both 
drivers  blameless,  placed  the  horses  in  the  final  heat 
so  the  Allerton  stallion  got  the  race.  Locanda  was  fa- 
vorite at  $50  to  $10  on  the  field  before  the  first  heat, 
and  ruled  favorite  throughout. 

Snyder  McGregor,  the  favorite  in  the  2:08  trot, 
reduced  his  record  to  2.06%  in  the  first  heat,  but  was 
beaten  the  second  heat  by  Norman  B.  in  2:06%,.  Di- 
rect View  trotted  a  good  race,  and  Tuna,  though  last, 
saved  here  distance,  showing  that  she  is  improving. 

John  Caldwell  was  a  starter  in  the  2 :  11  trot  and  won 
the  first  heat  in  2:09,  but  made  a  break  in  the  second 
heat  and  was  distanced.  Nora  McKinney  finished  in 
sixth  position  the  first  heat  and  got  the  flag  in  the 
next. 

The  2:17  pace  went  to  Bolivar,  as  he  stood  best  in 
the  summary,  although  winning  but  one  heat.  Cap- 
tain Derby,  son  of  Chas.  Derby,  was  second.  The  heat 
won  by  Bolivar  was  in  2:08%.  Albuta  was  in  the 
ruck  at  the  finish  of  each  heat.    The  summaries:

Thursday,  Fourth  Day. 

Tiverton  beat  Sweet  Marie  in  the  first  two  heats  of 
the  free-for-all  trot  to-day,  but  the  mare  beat  him 
in  the  third  heat  and  convinced  those  who  saw  the 
race  that  in  a  three  in  five  plan  she  could  take  his 
measure  almost  any  day.  George  G.  trotted  a  very 
high  class  race  in  this  event,  being  timed  in  better 
than  2:07  in  the  first  two  heats.  Sweet  Marie  was 
favorite  before  the  race  and  the  betting  was  quite 
heavy. 

Starter  Newton  raised  a  howl  when  he  sent  the 
bunch  away  in  the  first  heat  with  the  favorite,  Sweet 
Marie,  two  lengths  behind.  Despite  this  handicap, 
the  mare  trotted  a  good  mile.  George  G.  was  only 
two  lengths  behind  Tiverton  under  the  wire,  and 
Sweet  Marie,  in  third  place,  was  apparently  doing 
her  best.  In  the  second  heat  the  conditions  were 
about  the  same,  George  G.  giving  Tiverton  a  good 
race  throughout  the  stretch. 

The  third  heat  was  decidedly  the  best  contest  of 
the  meeting.  Sweet  Marie  and  Tiverton  went  off 
in  front  when  they  were  given  the  word.  Trotting 
side  by  side  until  three-quarters  was  reached,  the 
animals  showed  wonderful  speed.  It  looked  as 
though  Tiverton  would  make  it  three  straight  heats. 
In  the  struggle  through  the  stretch  Sweet  Marie  dis- 
played remarkable  gameness,  and  foot  by  foot  pulled 
away  from  Tiverton,  winning  the  heat  by  a  length. 
After  the  race  A.  P.  McDonald,  who  drove  Sweet 
Marie,  said  that  the  mare  was  not  In  the  best  of  con- 
dition, otherwise  Tiverton  would  have  been  beaten.

ZIBBELL    BENEFIT   AT   SANTA    ROSA. 

Quite  a  crowd  was  present  at  the  Santa  Rosa  track 
on  Wednesday  of  this  week,  when  a  benefit  was  ten- 
dered Willard  Zibbell,  the  young  horseman  who  was1 
so  badly  injured  by  being  run  over  by  three  freight 
cars  at  Fresno. 

A  good  program  had  been  arranged  by  the  Sonoma 
County  Driving  Club,  consisting  of  seven  events,  and 
everything  passed  off  pleasantly.  The  beneficiary 
was  present  with  his  wife  and  other  relatives  and  saw 
his  father  drive  his  great  horse  Adam  G.  to  easy 
victory  in  the  fourth  race. 

Messrs.  Springer,  Sutherland  and  Dunbar  acted  as 
judges,  and  the  timers  were  Messrs.  Lumsden,  Smith 
and  Delaney.  The  starting  was  done  by  Schuyler 
Walton,  and  Walter  Trefry  acted  as  track  marshal.

ANSWERS  TO  CORRESPONDENTS. 


H.  G.  HEWITT,  Healdsburg — Morosco  won  the  2.19 
class  trot  at  Santa  Rosa  in  1904,  in  straight  heats. 
The  time  was  2:12%,  2:12%  and  2:12. 


JAMES  CROSSLY,  City — The  pacing  mare  Much 
Better  2:07%  made  her  record  at  Santa  Rosa,  August 
27th,  1898.  She  started  twice  at  that  meeting,  which 
was  given  by  the  Breeders'  Association,  and  won  both 
races  in  straight  heats.  The  time  of  the  miles  in  the 
first  race,  which  wras  best  three  in  five,  was  2:10%  in 
every  heat.  The  other  race  was  best  two  in  three. 
The  time  was  2:07%  and  2.09.  She  was  driven  in  this 
race  by  Farmer  Bunch.  Much  Better  wras  bred  at 
Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm.  She  is  now  owned  by 
James  W.  Rea  of  San  Jose. 


SUBSCRIBER,  Portland— The  free  for  all  pace  at 
the  Portland,  Oregon,  meeting  in  June  and  July,  1894, 
was  won  by  the  California  horse  Plunkett.  There 
w'ere  five  heats,  Del  Norte  taking  the  first  two.  The 
time  was  2:17,  2:14%.  2.17%,  2:31  and  2:17%.  The 
bay  gelding  Cyrus  by  Captain  Webster,  was  also 
starter,  but  wras  distanced  in  the  second  heat.  The 
time  of  the  fourth  heat  wras  slow  on  account  of  the 
repeated  breaking  of  Del  Norte,  the  driver  of  Plunkett 
not  trying  to  shut  him  out.

L.  C.  R.,  Sacramento — The  mare  Sally  Pointer 
2:13%,  of  which  mention  was  made  last  week,  was, 
wo  think,  bred  by  Ed.  Allen  of  Los  Angeles,  and  sold 
at  the  Potter  sale  there  in  1901,  the  same  time  Sweet 
Marie  was  sold.  She  wras  catalogued  as  Sister's  Baby 
and  was  then  a  two-year-old.  It  was  stated  in  the 
catalogue  that  she  had  paced  a  quarter  in  31  seconds 
that  year. 


Gazelle  2:11%  by  Gossiper,  the  dam  of  Zolock  2:05% 
and  Zephyr  2:11  trotting  is  now  owned  by  Mr.  J.  Of 
McKinney  of.Titusville,  Pa.  Gazelle  was  bred  by  Ben 
Davis  of  San  Bernardino,  and  took  her  record  in  1896 
at  Woodland,  when  she  was  five  years  old.  Her  dam 
Gipsey  by  Gen.  Booth  2.03%,  is  also  the  dam  of  De- 
lilah (3)  2:14%,  and  is  out  of  Echo  Belle,  the  grandam 
of  Conn  2:15%,  by  Echo.  Gen.  Booth  was  by  Geo, 
M.  Patchen  30.  The  performances  of  Zolock  and 
Zephyr  this  year  have  caused  many  inquiries  to  he 
made  about  Gazelle.  Mr.  Davies  sold  her,  we  believe, 
to  Mr.  Chas.  Winship  of  Los  Angeles,  who  in  turn 
sold  her  to  his  cousin,  A.  H.  Miller  of  Buffalo,  who 
disposed  of  her  to  Mr.  McKinney,  her  present  owner.

A  TRIBUTE   TO   JUDGE   GREENE'S    MEMORY. 


OLEMA,  August  8th,  1905. 
Dear  Breeder  and  Sportsman — I  see  by  this  morn- 
ng's  Call  that  Judge  W.  E.  Greene  has  been  called  by 
he  grim  reaper  who  spares  neither  the  young  nor  the 
I  id,  the  dullard  or  the  wise  and  good.     To  the  last- 
:  iamed  class  our   dear  Judge  belonged.     For,   readers 
i|{  the  Breeder  and   Sportsman,  he  was  "our  Judge," 
■  lie  loved  what  we  love,  clean  out-door  sports,  but  es- 
pecially did  he  love  the  light  harness  horse.     Arm  In 
rm   with  Monroe   Salisbury,   the   iron   man,   or   with 
>r.  Latham  of  honored  memory,  have  I  seen  this  grand 
i  id  man  going  to  worship  St.  Equus.     Judge  Greene 
:  ,-as  a  close  student  of  form  and  breeding.     Early  in 
■  !  he  history  of  this  State  he  imported  from  Maine  to 
]     itockton  the  stallion  Winthrop  505.     Association  with 
lonroe  Salisbury  begot  a  love  for  the  Director  f airi- 
ly in  later  years,  so  that  the  Judge  bred  and  owned 
ome   fine  Director,   Direct  and  Directum   colts.     Be- 
jore  "the  dreaded  warrior  in  sombre  harness  mailed, 
I  lurnamed    of   man    the    destroyer    the    rampart    walls 
i  ..  ad  scaled,"  the  Judge  had  seen  his  namesake  beat  all 

our-year-olds  of  his  year  and  retire  a  champion. 

>J  Last,  year  at  Santa  Rosa,  at  the  Breeders*  meeting, 

udge  Greene,   his  son  Carlton,  and  I  met.     Politics, 

a  'torses    and    law    were    discussed    alternately.       The 

v1  udge  insisted  upon  my  dining  with  him.     The  meal 

-  .as  "a  feast  of  reason  and  a  flow  of  soul,"  as  we  two 

,  stened   to   the   Judge   as   he   presented    his   clear-cut 

n  iews.     I  then  heard  much  of  the  late  Tom  Reed,  the 

reat,  perhaps  the  greatest  Speaker  of  the  House  of 

|  representatives    the    United    States    ever    had.      Reed 

i  H  nd  Judge   Green   were   schoolmates    in   the    State   of 

v'jj  laine.    Both  became  school  teachers  and  both  became 

:.i   reat. 

Before    Judge    Greene    the   lawyer    or   lawyers    who 

ried    to    demur,    object,    delay    or    stay    the    hand    of 

ustice    felt    the    majesty    of    the   law.      Six   feet    two 

;  iches  in   height,   symmetrical,   broad   chested,    digni- 

ed,  just,   learned,   Judge  Greene  would   turn   to   him 

;ho  was  trying  to  hoodwink  the  court  or  pervert  the 

I  nds  of  justice,   with:      "Come  to  the  point,   sir — the 

:  ssue  at  stake.     Make  a  statement   involving  the   is- 

!  ues;    don't  pettifog,   sir!      The  court  has  no  time  to 

ear  extraneous,  outside  matters  discussed!" 

Of  course,  "our  Judge"  had  enemies.     What  strong 

li  ian  in  power  has  not?     But  his  enemies  as  a  rule 

*'  -ere  those  who  desired  to  bolster  up  a  weak  case  and 

;ad  blind  Justice   astray.     The   earnest  lawyer  and 

pright  citizen  respected  and  loved  "our  Judge."     To 

lem  his  memory  will  be  ever  green. 

Judge  Ogden  recently  said.     "We"   (referring  to  the 

uperior  Court  of  Alameda  county)   "are  carrying  on 

udge  Greene's  work,  fervently  hoping  and  anxiously 

specting  that   our  associate  will  get  well." 

-  i  Let  us  hope  that  the   "Supreme  Court" — the   court 

I  £  last  appeal  before  which  our  friend  has  appeared, 

as  said:      "Well  done,  good  and  faithful  servant." 

"The   crowned   head   and   the  lowly   cowl,   all   must 

ome  to  the  narrow  tomb.     It  is  only  the  actions  of 

r»e  just  that  smell  sweet  and  bloom  in  the  dust." 

Judge  Greene  was  not  only  an  upright  judge,  but  a 

ue  American,  who  devotedly  loved  his  country  and 

er  institutions.     No   applicant   for    citizenship   could 

ass  muster  before  him,   whether  his   sponsors  were 

.epublicans  or  Democrats,  unless  knowing  enough  to 

e  of  value  to  our  country  and  a  support  to  her  insti- 

I   itions  in  time  of  peace  or  war.    The  Superior  Judges 

a|  f   Alameda    county    are    all    able,    upright    men,    but 

ley  will  sorely  miss  the   dear  Judge,  the   Nestor  of 

leir  bench.     When,   some   new   comer   sits   in   Judge 

reene's  place,  he  shall  often  turn  to  his  associates 

>r   advice    and    they    will    say:      "Decide    as    Greene 

ould  have  done,  and  in  the  decision  the  dead  Judge 

ill  live  again."

trotters  and  the  other  for  pacers.  The  trotting  di- 
vision will  have  60  per  cent  of  all  moneys  paid  in, 
and  the  pacing  division  40  per  cent.  The  nominator 
of  the  winner  of  either  division  will  receive  $250. 

The  society  feels  greatly  encouraged  with  the  out-  . 
look  for  a  successful  State  Fair.  All  the  harness  ' 
events  have  filled  well,  and  the  running  contingent 
will  be  represented  by  many  of  the  horses  now  racing 
at  Portland,  as  well  as  those  which' have  had  a  good 
rest  since  the  close  of  the  winter  meeting  at  Oak- 
land. 

A  platform  ie  being  constructed  a  few  yai'ds  from 
the  back  stretch,  where  all  horses  shipped  to  the 
new  track  can  be  unloaded  from  the  cars.  This  will 
prove  a  great  convenience  to  horsemen. 

A  suburban  trolley  extension  has  been  constructed 
to  carry  lovers  of  racing  to  the  park,  which  is  situated 
a  short  distance  from  the  city.  A  splendid  trolley 
service  is  promised  between  the  city  and  the  park, 
and  the  local  street  railway  company  is  planning  to 
handle  the  traffic  without  discomfort  or  delay  to 
patrons   of   the   races. 

An  item  of  interest  is  the  fact  that  the  directors 
have  decided  to  issue  a  family  season  ticket  this  year 
for  $5,  which  will  admit  an  entire  family  to  the 
park   mornings   and   afternoons. 

There  will  be  no  admission  charge  to  the  pavilion, 
the  directors  and  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden 
West,  who  are  to  celebrate  the  entire  week,  having 
joined  hands  in  keeping  "open  house."  The  displays 
at  the  pavilion  will  be  of  varied  character  and  high 
standard,  and  will  embrace  competitive  county  ex- 
hibits, a  poultry  show  surpassing  all  former  attempts 
in  this  line,  agricultural,  horticultural,  dairy  and  in- 
dustrial exhibits. 

It  has  not  yet  been  decided  who  will  be  engaged  to 
judge  the  livestock.  Professor  W.  L.  Carlyle  of  Wis- 
consin has  a  prior  engagement  which  precludes  his  ac- 
cepting the  post  he  has  held  so  satisfactorily  to  Cali- 
fornia breeders  for  several  years. 

The  directors  of  the  fair  are  corresponding  with 
several  recognized  authorities,  and  hope  to  announce 
at  an  early  date  that  a  selection  has  been  made.

GETTING   READY  FOR  THE  STATE   FAIR. 


SACRAMENTO,  August  10. — The  race  track  at  the 
tate  Agricultural  Society's  new  grounds  is  finished, 
nd  those  who  have  seen  it,  declare  it  to  be  one 
C  the  finest  in  all  the  West.  The  soil  is  a  reddish 
Mlow  clay,  such  as  was  used  in  the  coating  of  the 
d  State  Fair  course  several  years  ago,  and  makes 
course  full  of  elasticity  and  springiness,  and  when 
has  been  worked  a  little  more  it  will  be  a  remark- 
Dly  fast  track. 

"Farmer"  Bunch  drove  over  the  new  track  the  other 
ly  and  expressed  great  satisfaction  with  it.  In 
ct,  lie  became  very  enthusiastic  over  it,  and  pre- 
cted  that  at  fair  time  it  will  be  faster  than  either 
ie  San  Jose  or  Santa  Rosa  tracks. 
The  work  on  the  cottage  stables  for  the  running 
id  trotting  horses  is  nearly  finished.  These  are 
mdsome  buildings,  possessing  considerable  archi- 
ctural   beauty,    and   have   been   built   with   the   idea 

permanency  above  all  else. 
The  several  structures  rest  on  massive  concrete 
undations  and  are  quite  a  height  above  the  ground, 
tie  floors  are  all  of  two-inch  planking.  Every  stall 
well  lighted  and  ventilated,  and  particular  attention 
is  been  paid  to  drainage  in  and  about  the  stables. 
Work  is  progressing  on  the  temporary  grandstand, 
id  temporary  quarters  for  some  of  the  livestock 
111  soon  be  provided.  The  directors  found  it  im- 
■ssible  to  erect  all  permanent  buildings  out  of  the 
i  mparatively  small  amount  of  money  appropriated 
r  this  purpose,  so  have  been  obliged  to  erect  tem- 
rary  buildings  for  some  of  the  horses  and  cattle. 
The  harness  contingent  will  have  a  try  at  three 
:h  stakes  this  year,  and,  strange  to  say,  these 
ents  are  all  for  three-year-olds. 

The  Occident  Stake  is  worth  $3880,  the  Stanford 
770,  with  another  payment  due,  and  the  Stallion 
ake,  for  foals  of  1902,  $3300.  As  is  generally  under- 
3od,  this  stake  is  divided  into  two  divisions,  one  for 


BREEDERS'    MEETING    AT   SANTA    ROSA. 


Everything  is  in  readiness  for  the  big  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  As- 
sociation which  will  open  at  Santa  Rosa  on  Wednes- 
day next,  August  16th. 

The  California  and  Northwestern  Railway  Company 
will  run  a  special  train  each  day  from  Tiburon.  con- 
necting with  the  ferry  boat  that  leaves  this  city  at 
9  a.  m.  Returning  the  train  will  leave  Santa  Rosa  at 
7  p.  m.  The  fare  will  be  but  one  dollar  for  the  round 
trip. 

On  SaLurday,  the  last  day  of  the  meeting,  a  special 
excursion  will  be  run  from  TJkiah  to  Santa  Rosa  and 
return,  leaving  Ukiah  at  9  a.  m.  and  leaving  Santa 
Rosa  on  the  return  trip  at  6.45  p.  m. 

The  program  of  races  is  the  best  that  has  been  of- 
fered in  California  for  years,  and  the  stakes  are  the 
largest  offered  for  trotters  and  pacers  on  this  coast. 
There  is  an  excellent  program  for  each  day  of  the 
meeting.  The  2:10  horses  are  numerous  so  that  fast 
racing  can  be  expected  every  day.  The  Santa  Rosa 
track  record  is  2:06,  which  it  is  confidently  expected 
will  be  lowered,  the  day  Zolock  starts  in  the  2:09 
class   pace.

Worth  Ober.  Trainer. 

1509  Grove  Street,  corcer  Bal-er  Phone:  Fell  5161. 

Located  oDe  block  from  Panbacdle  of  the  Golden  Gate  Park 
Take  Hayes,  McAllister  or  Devisadero  street  cars. 

Nothing  succeeds  like  success  is  true  of  every  enter- 
prise, and  Vic.  Verilhac  of  the  well  known  Dexter 
Prince  stable,  1509  Grove  street,  San  Francisco,  has  * 
no  reason  to  doubt  the  truth  of  this  saying.  Since 
his  purchase  of  this  stable  the  reputation  he  has 
earned  for  the  manner  in  which  he  cares  for  all  horses 
and  vehicles  in  his  charge  has  increased  so  that  in 
order  to  meet  requests  of  many  horse  owners  he  has 
been  compelled  to  build  an  addition  to  his  stable.  He 
recently  erected  a  large  building  and  has  put  box 
stalls  and  single  stalls  therein  besides  a  splendid  dust- 
proof  loft  for  vehicles.  Electric  lights  have  been 
installed  and  the  greatest  care  has  been  taken  in  pro- 
viding light  and  air  for  the  horses.  The  sanitation 
in  this  large  stable  is  perfect. 

There  are  at  present  thirty-four  box  stalls  and 
forty-five  single  stalls,  nearly  all  filled  by  the  best 
road  horses  in  San  Francisco. 

There  are  twelve  matinee  racers  being  prepared 
by  two  special  trainers  from  Pleasanton  among  them 
are  Gertie  A.,  second  to  Tom  Carneal  in  2:  OS  %  in 
Santa  Rosa  in  1904  Also  winner  of  many  a  hard 
fought  race,  and  entered  in  the  free-for-all  on  the 
4th  of  September  at  Ingleside.  Also  King  Cadenza 
2:15%,  Kitty  D.,  winner  of  the  two-mile  free-for-all 
last  Butchers'  Day;  Al  Sandy,  winner  of  the  2:20 
class  pace  the  same  day;  Harry  Hurst,  2:14;  Ruby 
L.  and  Laurelwood,  the  two  best  trotters  that  go 
through  the  Golden  Gate  Park.  Either  can  step  a 
mile  in  2.15,  with  ease.  Satinwood  can  show  a  mile 
any  day  in  2:10  pacing.  Billy  Humes  and  Cashmont 
the  property  of  Max  Levy,  of  Seattle,  are  both  good 
ones,  and  when  ready  will  be  heard  from.  Silver 
Moon,  the  best  bred  stallion  in  California,  can  trot 
over  the  speed  track  in  2:20.  Wallie,  the  handsom- 
est road  horse  in  San  Francisco,  with  a  record  of 
2:18  as  a  three-year-old,  and  a  four-year-old  chest- 
nut. Derby,  a  full  brother  to  Bain,  and  half-brother 
to  King  Cadenza  and  King  V.;  this  is  a  promising 
young  gelding  with  a  world  of  speed.  There  are  many 
others  that  will  be  heard  about  after  the  next  matinee 
races  on  the  4th  of  September. 

Mr.  Verilhac  has  employed  a  very  careful  man  to 
handle  young  colts.  He  has  already  three  that  were 
purchased  at  the  last  Chase  sale,  going  along  the 
park  roads  like  ohd  horses.  He  employs  the  best 
help  and  uses  only  the  choicest  of  hay  and  grain. 
Being  a  hard  worker  he  gives  his  personal  attention 
to   this   thriving  business.

DEATH    OF   ALEX.   J.    McKERRON. 


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

FISH       COMMISSIONER       BERM INGHAM 
STRIPED   BASS. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — Dear  Sir:  In  your 
issue  of  August  5th,  I  notice  an  article  on  striped 
bass  and  from  the  tenor  of  same  the  average  person 
would  judge  that  the  striped  bass  are  being  wiped  out 
iri  a  similar  manner  to  the  sturgeon.  I  note  that  Mr. 
Al.  M\  Gumming  states  that  fishing  is  now  very  poor 
at  San  Antone  Slough  and  am  at  a  loss  to  under- 
stand how  he  can  make  this  statement  in  view  of 
the  picture  published  in  one  of  the  weekly  s_porting 
periodicals  which  port  rayed.- the  catch  of  Mr.  Kittle's 
one  day's  fishing  on  San  Antone  Slough.  In  looking 
at  the  picture,  to  the  best  recollection  of  the  writer, 
there  were  at  least  25  bass,  and  some  of  them  must 
have  been  at  least  two  feet  long.  It  is  hardly  fair  to 
presume  that  Mr.  Kittle,  who  is  a  well  known  sports- 
man, would  publish  a  picture  of  this  kind  if  he  did 
not  catch  the  fish  himself.  From  this  it  would  seem 
that  either  Mr.  Kittle  is  a  more  experienced  fisherman 
than  Mr.  Cumming  and  the  others  who  "were  not  so 
fortunate,  or  else  he  selected  a  better  time  for  fishing 
than  they  did. 

The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that  the  striped  bass  are 
increasing  very  rapidly  and  from  the  reports  received 
by  the  Fish  Commission,  who  keep  a  close  watch  on 
the  amount  of  fish  shipped  to  the  San  Francisco  mar- 
ket as  well  as  from  their  regular  deputies  at  different 
portions  of  the  bay  frequented  by  the  striped  bass,  it 
would  appear  that  there  is  no  danger  of  exterminat- 
ing this  popular  fish.  A  great  many  of  the  sporting 
fraternity  are  prone  to  criticise  the  Fish  Commission 
without  justice  in  a  good  many  instances  and  at  other 
times  because  of  the  fact  that  they  do  not  personally 
care  for  certain  members  of  the  Commission  or  its 
deputies.  The  writer  has  frequently  seen  anglers 
get  on  the  train  at  San  Pablo  station,  after  a  day's 
fishing  near  Point  Richmond,  with  large  strings  of 
small  striped  bass.  On  one  Sunday  night,  not  long 
ago,  the  writer  personally  saw  three  anglers  who  had 
over  150  bass  between  them.  Some  of  these  bass 
would  not  weigh  one-half  a  pound.  The  writer  knows 
that  these  men  were  what  is  popularly  termed  "true 
sports."  and  yet  they  took  under-weight  bass  in  direct 
violation  of  the  laws  which  they  are  so  anxious  to 
have  the  Fish  Comission  uphold. 

The  law  in  reference  to  striped  bass  was  framed  to 
prevent  the  bass  from  being  depleted  and  if  the  anglers 
and  market  fishermen  would  both  obey  the  lawr,  there 
would  be  no  chance  of  wiping  out  the  bass.  It  has 
not  been  the  intention  of  the  Fish  Commission  to 
bother  the  rod  fishermen  in  reference  to  the  weight 
of  striped  bass,  but  the  matter  has  become  so  serious 
and  so  much  criticism  has  been  made  against  the 
overlooking  of  this  offense  by  the  Commission  that  it 
is  the  intention  from  now  on  to  arrest  the  rod  fisher- 
man  who  has  under-weight  striped  bass  in  his  pos- 
session in  the  same  manner  that  it  arrests  the  market 
fisherman.  "We  have  three  deputies  in  San  Francisco 
and  almost  all  of  their  time  is  taken  up  on  the  striped 
bass  violations.  We  have  seized  quantities  of  fish  dur- 
ing the  past  month  or  six  weeks  and  have  obtained 
se\  era]  convictions,  and  just  as  soon  as  our  patrol 
boat,  which  has  been  undergoing  repairs,  is  once  more 
in  commission,  the  Commission  intends  to  look  into 
ih  complaints  received  from  the  San  Antone  slough 
and  at  other  portions  of  the  bay.  The  anglers  should 
assist  the  Commission  in  the  detection  of  violators 
of  the  striped  bass  law  and  the  way  to  do  this  properly 
is  to  supply  the  Commission  with  such  data  as  w-ould 
enable  it  and  its  deputies,  in  the  event  of  arrests,  in 
a  conviction.  The  trouble  has  been,  heretofore, 
that  complaints,  both  verbal  and  written,  received  by 
'the  Fish  Commission,  have  in  a  great  many  instances 
been  utterly  without  foundation  and  of  such  a  nature 
as  would  make  it  impossible  to  obtain  convictions 
aftei  arrests.  A  great  many  people  lose  sight  of  the 
fad  that  the  Commission  is  liable  in  a  like  manner 
to  any  citizen  for  false  arrest  and  unless  there  is  a 
probability  to  obtain  conviction,  our  deputies 
are  Instructed  not  to  make  arrests.  It  is  the  duty  of 
citizen,  and  more  especially  of  every  angler, 
id  violators  of  the  fish  and  game  laws, 
II  such  a  Cjourse  was  followed  out  in  relation  to 
such    matters,    instead    of    criticisms    and    unfounded 


complaints  being  sent  to  the  Commission,  it  woiil 
materially  assist  the  Commission  in  stamping  oi 
these  violations.  A  great  many  anglers  also  lose  sigr 
of  the  fact  that  the  Fish  and  Game  Commission  wa 
not  created  for  any  one  special  set  of  men.  Th 
money  obtained  from  the  Legislature  for  the  Fis 
and  Game  Commission  work  is  out  of  public  funds  an 
we  must  treat  everyone  connected  with  the  fish  an 
game  matters,  whether  he  be  an  angler,  a  hunter  or 
market  fisherman  or  hunter,  with  absolute  equalit; 
and  in  addition  to  this  we  must  provide  a  food  suppl 
for  the  people  of  the  State  of  California  who  are  pay 
ing  their  share  of  the  cost  of  operation  of  the  Fis 
and  Game  Commission.  Some  of  the  radical  fish  an 
game  protectionists  desire  to  prevent  the  sale  of  a 
fish  and  game.  To  any  fair-minded  man  this  woul 
not  only  be  silly,  but  absolutely  without  reason.  Th 
Commission  is  only  too  glad,  when  conditions  aris 
that  make  the  prevention  of  sale  of  certain  fish  o 
game  imperative  to  avoid  the  wiping  out  of  such  fis 
or  game,  to  ask  for  legislation  to  prevent  such  loss 
and  on  the  other  hand  they  are  in  a  better  position  t 
judge  such  matters  than  the  average  sportsman. 

As  stated  before,  the  Fish  Commission  was  no 
created  for  any  one  special  set  of  men.  It  is  a  publi 
institution  charged  with  the  propagation  of  fish  an 
game  and  the  protection  of  same.  It  must  be  equit 
able  in  its  dealings  with  the  sportsmen  and  marke 
fishermen  and  must  treat  all  alike.  The  Commissio] 
derives  some  of  its  revenue  from  licenses  collects 
from  market  fishermen  and  in  return  for  such  license 
the  State  is  propagating  and  planting  fish.  There 
fore  the  market  fisherman  has  as  much  right  to  fisl 
the  waters  of  this  State  so  long  as  these  condition: 
prevail,  as  have  the  anglers  from  San  Francisco  am 
elsewhere.  The  Commission  has  only  a  limited  amoun 
of  money  with  which  to  conduct  its  affairs  and  it  mus1 
make  this  money  go  as  far  as  possible.  For  this  rea- 
son It  is  unable  to  place  as  many  deputies  in  the  fieli 
as  the  members  of  the  Commission  would  like,  and  oi  | 
this  account  It  is  prevented  in  a  great  many  instance: 
from  apprehending  violators  of  the  fish  and  gain 
laws. 

There  are  very  few  sportsmen  who  realize  tht 
amount  of  work  done  by  the  Fish  Commission  depu 
ties  during  the  course  of  a  year,  nor  do  they  realiz* 
the  hardships  and  the  disagreeable  work  that  thest 
deputies  have  to  undergo  while  in  the  discharge  oi 
their  duties.  The  Commission  has  often  been  criti- 
cised for  not  apprehending  violators  of  the  fish  anc 
game  law;  by  people  well  known  among  the  anglers  anc 
sporting  fraternity  and  this  has  been  a  source  of  deej 
regret  to  the  Fish  Commission.  If  the  sporting  fra 
ternity  would  drop  all  selfish  motives  and  work  hanc 
in  hand  with  the  Fish  Commission  they  would  find  a 
great  many  facts  that  they  are  not  now  aware  of  anc 
would  then  understand  the  difficulties  which  confront 
the  Commission  at  all  times.  The  Commission  has  all 
along  courted  such  help  from  the  sportsmen  and  until 
very  lately  they  have  not  received  any.  If  the  sports- 
men  of  San  Francisco  wrould  take  the  trouble  to  g€ 
through  the  fish  markets  on  a  Thursday  or  Friday  fh 
San  Francisco  and  see  the  countless  number  of  pooi 
people  buying  fish,  they  would  readily  understand 
that  the  community  at  large  is  being  benefited  by  al- 
lowing the  fish,  such  as  striped  bass,  to  be  sold  and 
would  understand  what  a  hardship  it  would  be  to 
these  people  if  the  sale  of  this  fish,  or  any  other  fish 
popular  with  the  anglers,  was   prevented. 

JOHN   BERMINGHAM,   JR. 

(Unless  we  are  very  much  mistaken,  and  we  do  not 
believe  we  are,  Fish  Commissioner  Bermingham  is 
thi  victim  of  misplaced  confidence  in  a  monthly  pub 
lication  not  noted  for  reliability.  The  picture  he  refers 
to  in  the  above  communication  was  taken  about  five 
years  ago  by  Al.  M.  Gumming,  when  the  ark  Cuckoo 
was  moored  in  San  Antone  slough  just  below  the 
Miramonte    Club    landing. 

The  catch  of  striped  bass  shown  in  the  picture  was 
made  by  Mr.  Gumming  and  the  late  Fred  Bushnell. 
The  big  fish  in  the  center  is  the  record  weight  bass 
taken  on  rod  and  line. 

We  are  not  informed  that  Mr.  Kittle  caught  one 
of  the  bass  shown  in  the  picture.  He  has  taken  many 
bass  from  the  slough,  however,  and  enjoyed  many 
days'  sport  on  that  water.  We  have  heard  Mr.  Kittle 
make  the  statement  that  the  fishing  there  is  not  any 
where  near  what  it  was  four  and  five  years  ago. 

Striped  bass  fishing  in  the  slough  at  the  time  the 
picture  was  snapped  by  Mr.   Cumming  was  excellent 
and    made    that    water    the    Mecca    for    striped    bass 
anglers.     At  the  present  time,  and  for  some  time  pas1 
there  has  been  no  fishing  in  the  slough  to  anywhei 
equal  that  of  the  period  mentioned. 

This    is    given,    not    in    criticism,    but    merely    as 
statement  of  fact. 

Following    the    Commissioner's    introductory    para 
graph    above,    the    communication    is    worthy    of    the 
careful  attention  of  anglers  and  sportsmen,  for  there 
is    plenty    of    material    in    it    that    is    true    and    peril 
tinent.— Ed.) 


September  is  the  ideal  month  for  Rogue  river  fish- 
ing.    Then  the  river  is  teeming  with  large  steelhead 
and  they  will  take  spoon, -fly  or  roe  hungrily.     Stro: 
tackle    and    heavy    rods    are    requisite    for    fishing    i 
Rogue   river. 

Frank  H.  Smith  of  San  Francisco  caught  four  large, 
sea  bass,  one  yellow  tail  and  a  barracouta  off  Santa* 
Cruz  lighthouse  last  Sunday.  The  yellowtail  put  up 
a  good  fight.  The  sea  bass  sulk  and  sound,  hanging 
on  with  dead  weight.  The  largest  bass  weighed 
thirty    pounds. 

James  Lynch  and  J.  M.  Thomson  fished  the  Paper 
.Mill  from  Tocoloma  down  to  Point  Reyes  station  last, 
Sunday.  Several  nice  fish  were  taken,  but  neither  one. 
in  baskei  was  the  equal  to  half  a  dozen  beauties  they- 
saw  in  the  stream  but  could  not  induce  to  take  the-" 
lure.

LAW   VIOLATORS   PUNISHED. 


DEER    HUNTING    NOTES. 


Game  Wardens  and  Deputy  Fish  Commissioners  in 
different  counties  were  on  the  qui  vive,  prior  to  the 
opening  of  the  deer  season  for  violators  ot  the  game 
law.  Since  the  season  opened  a  keen  lookout  has 
been  kept  for  unprincipled  hunters  who  kill  does,  as 
well  as  those  who   traffic  in  venison  or  hides. 

On  August  6th  Thomas  Cauckwell,  Richard  Fulker- 
son  and  Al  Lang  were  arrested  by  Deputy  Fish  and 
Game  Commissioners  A.  F.  tea  and  J.  C.  Ingalls  at 
their  camp  in  the  hills  west  of  Cloverdale. 

They  were  taken  before  Justice  Provines  of  Healds- 
burg  and  next  day  pleaded  guilty  to  killing  a  doe. 
Cauckwell  was  fined  $50  and  the  other  two  $25  each. 
The  trio  had  been  hunting  since  the  1st  inst.  and 
had  bagged  a  doe.  The  deputies  found  the  hide  in 
their  possession  and  took  them  into  custody. 

They  claimed  that  while  hunting  they  had  sepa- 
rated, and  that  one  of  the  men  jumped  a  doe  from 
the  brush  and  called  to  his  companions  that  a  buck 
was  coming  toward  them.  The  companions  fired, 
killing  the  doe.  The  men  were  in  jovial  humor  over 
their  predicament,  and  declared  that  while  their  deer 
!  meat  had  come  high,  it  was  the  best  obtainable. 
Cauckwell  stated  that  a  man  who  would  kill  a  doe 
'     should  be   fined   on   general   principles. 

Deputies  Ingalls  and  Lea  arrested  Robert  P.  Poe 
in  the  hills  of  Mendocino  county  for  killing  deer  dur- 
ing the  close  season.  Justice  Braden  of  Laytonville 
'  fined  Poe  $25  for  his  offense.  During  the  hearing  Poe 
i  admitted  that  he  had  been  hired  by  Miss  F.  Louise 
1  Shepard  to  supply  her  table  with  fresh  venison.  Miss 
'  Shepard,  whose  home  is  in  Berkeley,  conducts  a  sum- 
si  mer  camp  in  the  Mendocino  hills,  and  fresh  venison 
"  was  on  her  bill  of  fare  each  day  to  the  delight  of 
'  her  patrons.  Miss  Shepard  was  at  once  taken  into 
:  i  custody  and  brought  before  Justice  Braden,  who  lm- 
'■.    posed   a   fine   of   $50    upon   her,    in   spite   of   her   pro- 

*  testations. 

Deputy   Fish    Commissioner    A.    E.    Doney    arrested 

tour  deer  hunters  in  the  Siskiyou  mountains  recently, 

t     after  following  them  for  over  100  miles  through  one 

*  of  the  roughest  mountain  regions  in  California.  Three 
'  of  the  hunters,  McCutcheon,  Noyes  and  Chapman,  are 
I     from  Los  Angeles.     Scott  Greening,  their  guide,  who 

lives  in   Happy  Camp,   near  the  place   of  the   arrest, 

*  was  until  recently  a  deputy  fish  commissioner.  Jus- 
m   lice  Brown  of  Happy  Camp  fined  each  of  the  prison - 

■    ers  $25  for  killing  deer  during  the  close  season,  and 
Greening's    deputyship    was   revoked.      Deputy   Doney 
also  arrested  Ah  Him,  a  Chinese  deer  hunter,  and  one 
Indian  Frank  on   the   same    day,   and   Justice   Brown 
I     fined  each  $25  for  like  offenses. 
m       It  is  unlawful  for  one  individual  to  kill  more  than 
ms     two  bucks  in  one  hunting  season.     It  is  an  offense  to 
If  have  the  hide  of  a  fawn  or  female  deer  in  one's  pos- 
session  at   any  time,    or   a   hide   that   does   not   show 
that  it  is  the  hide  of  a  male  deer.     There  should  be 
is     no  hides   in  any  one's  possession  except  male  hides 
and  those  hides  cannot  be  sold.     The  Board  of  Fish 
Commissioners  have  had  perhaps  twenty  cases  in  the 
last  year  in  which  convictions  were  obtained  for  sell- 
ing deer  hides.     In  a  good  many  of  these  convictions 
$50   fines   were   paid,   besides   the   confiscation    of   the 
hides. 

C.  Meredith,  a  Sacramento  fish  dealer,  was  fined 
$20  by  Justice  March  last  week  for  having  under- 
weight striped  bass  in  his  possession.  The  complain- 
ant against  him  was  Game  Warden  George  Neale, 
who  noticed  three  boxes  of  fish  placed  on  the  train 
at  Giant,  Contra  Costa  county.  His  suspicions  being 
aroused  he  watched  the  boxes  until  they  reached 
Sacramento,  where  the  American  Fish  Company  took 
the  boxes  containing  striped  bass  to  its  place  of 
business.  Neale  arrested  Meredith,  the  manager  of 
the  company,  who  pleaded  guilty  of  the  offense.  Dep- 
uties Davis  and  O'Connell  traced  the  shipment  back 
to  Luke  Petrich  of  Giant  station,  whom  they  ar- 
rested and  took  before  Judge  Enloe  of  Pinole.  He 
paid   $30   fine. 

George  Johnson  of  Aracata  also  has  contributed 
$20  to  the  State  for  violating  the  fish  law. 

E.  P.  Lounibos  of  Kenwood  was  fined  $25  by  Jus- 
tice Gibson  of  Glen  Ellen,  for  shipping  doves.  Loun- 
ibos made  an  ineffectual  effort  to  conceal  the  nature 
of  the  contents  of  the  box  which  he  had  marked  mer- 
chandise, but  Deputies  Welch  and  Sehaeffle  investi- 
gated and  found  the  forbidden  birds,  constituting  the 
double  offense  of  offering  doves  for  sale  and  of  con- 
cealing the  contents  of  the  package. 


For  sportsmen  who  have  a  fancy  for  venison  on  the 
hoof  the  season  has  thus  far  afforded  much  sport,  and 
numerous  members  of  the  pronged  brotherhood  have 
been  bagged  in  the  Coast  hills  and  mountain  ranges, 
north  and  south,  where  they  were  wont  to  range  in 
security  until  the  baying  of  hounds  and  the  zip,  zip. 
of  30-30  bullets  on  the  1st  inst.  apprised  the  cervus 
family  that  something  was  on  tap  that  was  .decidedly 
unlucky  for-  the  male  members. 

The  main  body  of  hunters  went  out  on  Saturday 
and  Sunday  last.  Reports  from  various  sections  denote 
that  the  combined  results  for  that  time  were  up  to 
past  seasons. 

In  Sonoma  and  Mendocino  counties. numerous  hunt- 
ing parties  hunted  the  ranges  and  many  bucks  were 
garnered. 

Dr.  O.  W.  Jones  and  J,  C.  Nealon  bagged  two  bucks 
near  Novato  on  the  1st.  A  party  composed  of  Hugh 
J.  Mclsaae,  his  brother  and  Bert  Golcher  of  San  Fran- 
cisco were  rewarded  with,  two  bucks,  shot  on  the 
Mclsaae  ranch  near  Taylorville.  "Ben"  Harris,  "Ed" 
Schneider  and  George  Merchant  hunted  a  day  and  a 
half  about  eighteen  miles  from  Geyserville  and  bagged 
four  bucks— one  three-prong,  two  forked  horns  and 
a  spike  buck.  They  hunted  over  an  exceedingly  rough 
country  and  without  dogs. 

The  Lucas  Valley  Club,  composed  of  David  Hare- 
field,  Wm.  Tubbs,  Fred  Tallant,  Armand  De  Court- 
ieux'  of  San  Francisco,  Wm.  Barr,  Dr.  T.  J.  C.  Barr, 
E.  B.  Martinelli  of  San  Rafael,  Alex  Young  and  An- 
drew Wilkie,  had  accounted  for  three  bucks  up  to 
last   Saturday. 

A  party  composed  of  "Ben"  Baum,  Henry  Collins 
of  San  Francisco,  Salvador  Pacheco,  Thomas  J.  Fal- 
lon, M.  Murray  and  Henry  Martin  of  San  Rafael,  Leo 
de  Sella  ot  Sausalito  and  Victor  Sartori— the  Victor 
Gun  Club — got  four  bucks  on  the  club  grounds  back 
of  San  Rafael,  towards  Novato,  on  Tuesday  and 
Wednesday.  Collins  had  a  narrow  escape  from  an 
enraged  buck,  that  after  being  wounded  was  brought 
to  bay  by  the  hounds.  The  animal  charged  Collins 
when  he  approached,  and  a  lucky  rifle  shot  averted 
impalement  on  the  enraged  animal's  antlers. 

The  club  holds  the  record  in  Marin  county  for  the 
number  of  bucks  brought  down  so  far  this  year,  and 
also  the  record  far  the  largest  buck  reported  up  to 
date.  This  deer  weighed,  it  is  stated,  160  pounds,  and 
was  killed  by  County  Treasurer  Fallon,  in  Lucas 
canyon,  at  200  yards  range.  The  club  grounds  com- 
prise 3200  acres  in  Lucas  canyon. 

Other  San  Rafael  and  Marin  county  sportsmen  who 
were  successful  are:  Supervisor  G.  Pacheco  and 
friends,  who  killed  three  deer  near  Novato;  Harry 
Obitz  and  party  killed  two  on  the  Healion  ranch,  a 
few  miles  north  of  San  Rafael.  In  the  vicinity  of 
Bolinas,  Coroner  Sawyer,  J.  CotelkV  Edgar  Nott  and 
B.  Briones  all  have  a  deer  to  their  credit. 

Early  last  week  in  Big  Coyote  canyon,  near  Sau- 
salito, William  Campbell  and  Isaac  F.  Heuston  killed 
a  deer  between  them.  Antone  Marshall  killed  a  spike 
buck  near  Lake  Lagunitas,  and  the  son  of  C.  A.  Zin- 
kand  killed  a  deer  a  short  distance  from  his  residence 
in  Ross  Valley.  Nicasio  is  credited  with  three-forked 
horns  averaging  a  hundred  pounds  each,  shot  by  Don- 
ald Mclsaae,  Frank  Rodgers  and  W.  T.  Farley:  Far- 
ley killed  his  deer  as  it  was  browsing  in  his  corn- 
field. 

In  the  vicinity  of  Tocaloma  the  hunting  is  reported 
good.  Sheriff  Taylor  and  his  party  had  three  bucks 
up  to  the  4th  inst.  The  hunters  expected  to  bag  one 
or  two  -more  before  coming  in.  Harry  F.  Bailey 
brought  down  a  nice  forked  horn.     It  is  reported  that 

Lagunitas      Club 


The  first  buck  of  the  open  season  fur  Sao  Benito 
county  is  attributed  to  A.  Cowden  of  Hollister,  who 
killed  a  large  one  in  the  Gabilans  on  Tuesday.  Many 
Hollister  sportsmen  were  out  after  deer  in  the  Al- 
varado    country    last    week. 

The  Lone  Tree  section  of  San  Benito  county  is  taboo 
at  present  for  hunters.  The  ranchers  have  recently 
suffered  severe  losses  by  fire,  started  by  campers,  it 
is  alleged.  The  result  is  that  the  Lone  Tree  com- 
munity is  up  in  arms  against  the  invasion  of  deer 
or  other  hunting  parties. 

To  Frank  Tiernan,  a  cattleman  of  Hall's  Valley, 
must  go  the  distinction  of  having  laid  low  the  first 
magnificent  full  grown  buck  of  the  season  for  Santa 
Clara  valley.  The  deer,  a  .four-pronged  beauty,  was 
killed  at  9  o'clock  Tuesday  morning  on  Mount  Day, 
near  the  famous  hunting  ground  of  the  Black  Moun- 
tain. For  over  an  hour,  the  hunter  lay  in  wait  for 
his  quarry  in  the  latter's  favorite  stamping  grounds, 
and  was  just  preparing  to  leave  when  he  saw  his  prey 
not  150  yards  from  him  quietly  grazing  under  a  pine 
tree.  '  The  buck  had  probably  been  there  all  the  time. 
Tiernan  laid  it  low  at  the  first  shot  with  a  3S-35  Win- 
chester bullet.  It  dressed  175  pounds  and  is  one  of 
the  finest  specimens  ever  brought  to  earth  in  the 
county. 

A  four-pronged  buck  weighing  165  pounds  arrived 
in  San  Jose  Thursday  from  Kings  City.  The  buck 
was  shot  by  Howard  Tierney  five  minutes  after  12 
o'clock  on  the  opening  day  of  the  season.  The  party 
with  whom  Tierney  was  hunting  is  composed  of  the 
following:  R.  Greeninger,  Ed  Lynn,  Dr.  Sweigert  and 
D.  Ward.  The  party  were  hunting  in  the  Jolon  coun- 
try, back  of  Kings  City.  The  magnificent  buck  was 
shot  by  Tierney  on  the  Pinal.  Later  in  the  day  an- 
other one  of  the  party  brought  down  a  smaller  buck 
A  party  from  Hacienda  quicksilver  mines  and  Dr. 
Jamison  and  B.  I.  Schwartz,  of  San  Jose,  hunted  in 
the  vicinity  of  the  Hacienda  on  last  Wednesday.  Dr. 
Jamison  gave  proof  of  his  marksmanship  in  securing 
a  good-sized  buck  on  Loma  Prieta.  The  fog  was  so 
dense  during  the  earlier  part  of  the  day  that  the 
hunters  found   the  game   difficult  and  dangerous. 

In  the  Boulder  Creek  region  of  Santa  Cruz  county, 
it  is  reported,  there  are  bucks  in  plenty.  The  sports- 
men of  the  county  have  induced  the  repeal  of  the 
ordinance  prohibiting  the  use  of  dogs  in  deer  hunting. 


Big    Basin    Guarded    From    Fire. 

Sempervirens  Park  is  at  last  to  be  protected  from 
possible  destruction  from  forest  fires.  Warden  H.  B. 
Pilkington,  with  the  approval  of  State  Forester  Allen, 
has  begun  the  construction  of  an  elaborate  system 
of  fire  trails  in  the  Big  Basin  for  the  protection  of  the 
State  park.  The  system,  when  completed,  will  com- 
prise wide  trails  on  top  of  all  the  ridges  extending 
north  and  south  through  the  park,  with  other  wide 
trails  extending  east  and  west  across  the  park  so  as 
to  divide  it  into  sections  like  a  checker  board. 

The  trails  will  be  from  15  to  20  feet  wide,  and 
everything  w-ill  be  removed  from  these  belts,  or  strips, 
through  the  park,  with  the  exception  of  trees  over 
three  or  four  inches  in  diameter.  These  trails  will 
not  be  confined  entirely  to  the  State  park,  but  will 
extend  across  other  lands  as  well,  where  satisfactory 
arrangements  can  be  made  with  the  owners,  and  it  is 
thought  desirable  for  the  better  protection  of  the  State 
property. 

The  work  was  commenced  the  first  of  this  week 
with  a  large  crew  of  men  on  the  top  of  the  first  divide, 
west  of  the  Governor's  Camp,  and  between  the  middle 
and  west  branches  of  the  Waddell  creek.  This  trail 
will  be  extended  northward  via  the  hollow-tree  ridge 
to  the  top  of  the  Butenow  divide,  and  along  this 
easterly  to  the  end  of  the  road  known  as  the  China 


Fishing    For   Salmon. 

Salmon   fishing  differs   so   much   from   trout  fishing 
that   it   has    been    said   an    absolute    beginner   at    fly- 
fishing  will   learn   to   take   salmo   salar   more   readily 
than  will  a  trout  fisherman  who  tries  the  nobler  fish 
after   years   of   practice  with    the   smaller   one.      This 
I    doubt,    says    a    writer    in    Recreation,    but    I    know 
that- a  very  different  style  of  fishing  is  needed.    There 
i  really  no  such  thing  as  "striking"   in  salmon  fish- 
lg,  and  if  you  keep  a  tight  line  and  raise  your  rod 
s  soon  as  you  feel  the  "pluck"   of  the  fish  you  will 
e  doing  your  whole  duty,  and  it  will  be  up  to  the  fish 
o  do   the  rest.     There   is  no   occasion   for  the   swift 
strike  by  which  one  hooks  a  shy  trout  inclined  to  rise 
a  trifle  short.     The  salmon  is  such  a  weighty  fellow 
that  when  he  turns  to  go  down  after  taking  the   fly 
his  momentum  drives  the  hook  above  the  barb  with 
fi«,    very  little  assistance  on  the  part  of  the  angler,  pro- 
vided  the  line  be  fairly  taut. 


fourteen    does   were    seen    on     the 

grounds,  but  not  a  buck  to  try  the  marksmanship  of      grade.     1 

the  club  members. 

On  August  3rd  four  bucks  were  killed  on  the  Jim 
Ward  ranch  about  18  miles  from  Cloverdale. 

The  indulgence  in  the  sport  of  deer  hunting  is  not 
entirely  monopolized  by  the  sterner  sex,  for  Mrs. 
Jesse  Z.  Brunk  of  Santa  Rosa  killed  a  huge  buck- 
near  Branscombe,  Mendocino  county,  last  week.  The 
Supervisors  of  that  county  have  recently  shortened 
the  deer  season  one  month,  the  closing  day  being 
September  15th. 

A  report  this  week  states  that  deer  are  plent.ful 
in  the  vicinity  of  Mount  Shasta  and  Mount  Eddy  and 
a  number  of  fine  bucks  have  been  shot  in  those  sec- 
tions. . 

Hunting  parties  starting  from  Sisson,  Siskiyou 
county,  have  been  very  successful  in  the  quest  for 
venison.  As  a  rule,  the  bucks  are  very  poor  for  this 
season  of  the  year.  Many  theories  are  advanced  as 
the  cause,  but  the  oldest  hunters  fail  to  account  for 
the  lean  condition  of  deer  meat  at  this  time. 

Sacramento  sportsmen  have  found  that  the  coun- 
iry  around  Folsom,  Michigan  Bar  and  in  the  vicinity 
of  Lincoln  is  worthy  of  attention  for  gelling  deer. 

"Deer  hunting  parties  have  been  very  successful  in 
the  vicinity  of  Halfmoon  Bay,  San  Mateo  county.  <  me 
party  returned  with  four  bucks  after  an  outing  of 
less  than  three  days.  There  are  several  large  parties 
of  San  Francisco  sportsmen  hunting  in  that  part  of 
the   county. 

San  Jose  hunters  are  in  distress  over  their  exclu- 
sion this  season  from  the  best  hunting  grounds  in 
that  part  of  the  State.    Practically  all  the  land  owners 


only  greatly  aid  in  protecting  the  whole  of  the  Big 
Basin  from  ravage  by  fire,  but  also  materially  aid 
sightseers  in  exploring  the  park,  as  the  fire  trail  can 
be  used  by  explorers  both  on  foot  and  on  horseback, 
and  parts  of  them  will  doubtless  in  time  be  converted 
into  wagon  roads.  Members  of  the  State  Semper- 
virens Club  now  camping  in  the  Big  Basin  are  highly 
satisfied  wth  the  work  thus  far  accomplished. 

Fire  Arms  in  the  Yosemite. 

Yosemite  Valley  is  a  favorite  camping  place  for 
numerous  outing  parties  every  year.  Many  individ- 
uals take  firearms  along.  These  implements  are  not 
tolerated  in  the  Valley.  When  camping  or  outing 
parties  enter  the  Valley  they  are  accosted  by  United 
States  soldiers,  who  take  their  firearms  away  from 
them  and  give  them  receipts  for  the  same.  Those 
campers  who  go  through  the  Valley  are  allowed  to 
carry  their  guns  after  the  soldiers  have  sealed  them. 
The  seals  are  broken  by  the  soldiers  at  the  other  end 
of  the  Valley. 


"Laury"  Adams,  Jr.,  and  angling  companions  fished 
for  black  bass  in  Sand  lake,  above  Sacramento,  last 
week.  Prospect  slough  is  the  outlet  from  the  lake 
to  the  Sacramento  river.  The  water  where  Adams 
vnd  his  friends  fished  was  alive  with  bass.  The  party 
took  160  fish,  many  of  them  four  and  five  pounders. 
There  are  plenty  of  seven  and  eight-pound  fish  in 
the  lake  and  slough. 


.,  the  Momvt.  Hamilton  section  have  combined  and 
given  notice  that  no  hunting  or  camping  will  be  per- 
mitted on  their  lands,  this  action  being  the  result  of 
the  destructive  fires  that  have  been  started  there 
almost  every  summer  by  careless  hunters. 

In  spite  of  a  growing  belief  on  the  part  of  sports- 
men that  deer  are  becoming  scarce  in  Santa  Clara 
valley  and  vicinity  some  excellent  results  were  had 
on  Tuesday  in  that  section.  "Joe"  and  "Fred."  Piri- 
nard  of  San  Jose  brought  in  the  first  buck  for  Santa 
Clara  county,  a  two-pronger.  They  hunted  near  Ma- 
drone.  This  is  the  third  consecutive  year  that  the 
two  came  in  with  the  initial  buck  of  the  season. 


Careless    Hunters. 

While  out  hunting  recently  near  Cloverdale.  Chester 
Lawley  had  a  very  close  call  from  death  or  serious 
wounding  Lawley  became  separated  from  his  com- 
panions, who  wandered  away  in  different  directions. 
Young  Lawley  was  making  his  way  through  a  thicket 
when  one  of  his  trends,  mistaking  the  moving  object 
for  a  buck,  blazed  away  in  the  direction  of  the  noise. 
The  bullet  struck  Lawley's  rifle  and  this  saved  him 
from  serious  injury.  A  portion  of  the  lead  struck 
his  arm  and  became  imbedded  in  the  flesh,  from  which 
it   was   extracted   by  a   surgeon.

Field   Trial    Notes. 

Reports  from  the  field  trial  grounds,  near  Bakers- 
field,  are  encouraging  for  a  successful  running.  Birds 
are  plentiful  and  other  conditions  are  most  favor- 
able.

Pacific  Northwest  Field  Trial  Club. 

Secretary  Chas.  L.  Lundy,  writes  from  Seattle  as 
follows:  Referring  to  our  field  trial  prospects,  I  have 
the  honor  to  say  that  the  Pacific  Northwest  Field 
Trial  Club  (of  which  the  writer  has  the  honor  to  be 
secretary-treasurer),  will  be  run  at  LaConner  Flats 
October  13  and  14.  with  J.  M.  Taylor,  of  New  York,  as 
judge  on  "Bob  Whites." 

We  have  a  cracking  nice  little  club  up  here,  of 
which  Hon.  John  Riplinger  (owner  of  Ch.  Stylish 
Sargeant,  Ch.  Bracken  O'Leak  and  the  Ch.  bitches 
Pera  and  Ellore),  is  president,  and  among  the  other 
members  are  John  W.  Considine,  whom  the  dog  world 
knows  as  the  owner  of  the  greatest  of  all,  the  deceased 
Doc  Hick,  and  that  queen  of  matrons,  Jessie  Rodfield. 
besides  a  world  of  other  possibly  equally  as  good  un- 
der similar  circumstances;  Mr.  Tandell,  sporting  edi- 
tor; Capt.  A.  E.  Swift,  proprietor  of  the  LaConner 
line  of  steamers;  N.  A.  Weeden,  who  is  still  wearing 
crepe  for  the  loss  of  his  celebrated  Count  Whitestone's 
Chief  and  Rhoda  C.  together  with  a  promising  derby 
prospect  all  of  which  recently  died  because  of  that 
dastardly  destroyer,  the  poison  fiend. 

We  are  sure  of  plenty  of  birds  and  certain  of  the 
very  prettiest  gi  uunds — all  oat  fields  of  generally  500 
acres. 

The  British  Columbia  field  trials  will  be  run  just 
prior  to  ours,  with  an  international  stake  wThich  we, 
of  course — as  did  all  the  other  Americans  who  went 
over  to  compete  with  English  subjects — hope  to  win 
out. 
A   Dog   Is  Always  Honest. 

"There  is  one  peculiar  thing  about  dogs,"  remarked 
a  well-known  local  fancier  and  sportsman,  "and  that 
is  you  never  saw  one  pant  and  wag  his  tail  at  the 
same  time,  for  it  is  impossible  for  him  to  be  mad  at 
one  end  and  glad  at  the  other. 

"If  a  dog  is  glad  to  see  his  master  he  will  bark  and 
wag  his  tail.  If  he  wants  to  get  into  the  house  he 
v  ill  paw  at  the  door,  whine  and  wag  his  tail,  but  they 
are  all  symptoms  of  the  same  emotion.  But  if  his 
is  the  door  he  will  cease  to  show  anxiety 
immediately  by  whining  and  will  show  pleasure  only 
by  the  wagging  of  his  tail. 

"In  order  to  get  a  man's  temper  one  must  watch 
his  eyes,  but  for  a  dog's  you  have  to  watch  his  tail. 
The  dog  Is  likewise  incapable  of  deceit,  and  hence  he 
Is  nothing  of  a  politician.  He  deceives  no  one,  not 
elven  his  l  U  he  is  overjoyed  every  emotion  is 

1  fact,  and  his  whole  make-up  gives 
ample  testimony  to  it.  If  he  is  displeased  or  angered 
it  is  the  same  way."

Mr.  Leon  Greenebaum  has  purchased  a  light  brindle 
Bulldog  from  Mr.  Thos.  Ashton.  Braemer  Albert 
(Braemer  Galtee  More — Braemer  Beatrice)  is  14 
months  old  and  full  of  promise.  Mr.  Greenebaum  did 
not  receive  the  dog  he  originally  bought  from  Mr. 
Ashton.  The  dog  was  smothered  in  an  express  car, 
in  transit  to  this  city.  Braemer  Albert  was  sent  out 
instead  and  the  Yorkshire  man  says  he  will  go  a 
bit. 


VALIDITY  OF  COUNTY  ORDINANCES. 


It  is  possible  that  the  courts  will  decide  that  spe- 
cial county  ordinances  restricting  the  open  season  al- 
lowed by  the  State  law  are  invalid.  The  District 
Court  of  Appeals  in  Southern  California  decided  re- 
cently that  a  one-day  dove  law  passed  by  the  Los 
Angeles  supervisors  was  illegal.  The  opinion  of  the 
majority  of  the  court  held  that  the  "police"  function 
in  regard  to  game,  bestowed  upon  the  Supervisors  of 
each  county  in  1S97,  had  been  made  invalid  by  a  more 
recent  amendment  to  the  Constitution,  known  as  Sec- 
tion 25%,  Article  IV,  which  reads  as  follows: 

"The  Legislature  may  provide  for  the  division  of 
the  State  into  fish  and  game  districts  and  may  enact 
such  laws  for  the  protection  of  fish  and  game  therein 
as  they  may  deem  appropriate." 

In  explanation  of  this  section  the  following  comment 
appears  in  the  opinion  of  the  court: 

"We  are  unable  to  see  any  particular  significance 
attaching  to  the  manner  in  which  the  word  'may' 
shall  be  read  in  this  constitutional  amendment,  inas- 
much as  its  obvious  intent  was  to  confer  upon  the 
State  Legislature  alone  authority  to  deal  with  the 
subject  of  fish  and  game,  and  in  such  legislation  to 
relieve  it  from  the  necessity  of  enacting  general  laws 
applicable  alike. to  the  whole  State,  and  the  effect  of 
which  could  only  be  to  remove  the  necessity  existing 
for  delegation  of  power  to  local  authorities. 
-  "We  are  of  the  opinion,  therefore,  that  any  author- 
ity reposing  in  the  Legislature  to  delegate  legislative 
power  to  counties  in  reference  to  this  subject  was 
revoked  by  the  amendment,  Sec.  25%,  Article  TV,  and 
the  failure  and  neglect  of  the  Legislature  to  obey  the 
plain  mandate  of  the  constitution  does  not  empower 
the  board  of  supervisors  to  assume  this  duty  reposing 
in   the   State   alone." 

This  reasoning  would,  of  course,  knock  out  all  of 
the  special  game  laws  passed  by  supervisors,  but  one 
of  the  District  Justices  refused  to  concur,  in j the  en- 
tire opinion,  though  he  agreed  the  Los  Angeles  ordi- 
nance wTas  illegal,  holding  that  it  was  a  virtual  pro- 
hibition of  dove  shooting,  instead  of  a  regulation  of  it. 

It  is  therefore  uncertain  how  the  other  District 
Courts  of  Appeals  will  rule  on  this  point,  and,  in 
view  of  diverse  opinions,  it  is  likely  that  the  matter 
will  be  carried  to  the  Supreme  Court.  If  any  San 
Francisco  sportsman  wishes  to  test  the  question,  let 
him  go  over  to  Contra  Costa  county  after  August  20th 
and  kill  a  buck — if  he  can  find  one. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  a  recent  decision  of  the 
appelate  court  virtually  reverses  a  decision  of  the 
Supreme  Court,  there  has  arisen  considerable  dis- 
cussion as  to  what  the  relation  is  between  the  Su- 
preme Court  and  the  District  Courts  of  Appeal. 

The  appelate  courts  are  entirely  subordinate  to  the 
Supreme  Court,  which  may,  by  its  rules,  virtually  de- 
termine to  what  extent  the  appellate  courts  shall  be 
the  end  of  litigation,  and  it  is  gratifying  to  know  that 
the  Supreme  Court  is  disposed  to  hear  as  few  appeals 
as  possible.  There  is  a  large  class  of  cases  in  which, 
on  appeal,  the  facts  as  developed  in  the  trial  courts 
come  more  or  less  under  review.  In  such  cases  the 
Supreme  Court  will  not  entertain  petitions  for  re- 
hearing. The  decision  of  the  appellate  courts  shall 
be  final.  If  this  rule  is  rigidly  adhered  to,  the  Su- 
preme Court  will  be  able  to  devote  its  entire  time  to 
disputed  questions  of  law,  which,  in  cases  w7ith  which 
the  appellate  courts  deal,  will  not  come  before  it  until 
they  have  been  thoroughly  threshed  out  and  the  ker- 
nel separated  from  the  chaff.  As  to  these,  also,  the 
Supreme  Court  has  full  discretion  whether  to  allow  an 
appeal,  and  presumably  will  never  do  so  except  in 
cases  of  real  uncertainty  as  to  the  law.  That  is  as  it 
should  be.  The  judges  of  the  appellate  courts  are 
always  likely  to  be  as  able  men  as  those  on  the 
supreme  bench,  and  the  intent  of  the  constitutional 
amendment  was  to  make  these  courts  the  final  resort 
in  the  majority  of  cases  coming  before  them.  And 
the  more  closely  that  is  adhered  to,  the. better  it 
will  be  for  the  litigants  as  well  as  the  public. 

Sportsmen  generally  are  pleased  with  the  decision 
made  in  Los  Angeles.  While  it  is  true  that  a  game 
law  that  works  all  right  for  Siskiyou  county  may  be 
sadly  out  of  gear  for  Los  Angeles,  the  remedy  for  such 
a  divergence  is  not  a  harmonious  one — the  result  of  a 
difference  in  the  game  laws  of  adjoining,  or  nearby, 
counties  has  been  confusing  and  detrimental  to  game 
protection. 

One  law  for  the  whole  State,  it  is  claimed,  will  do 
more  good  than  many  scattering  Jaws. 


Battle   Creek    Fish    Hatchery. 

Work  on-  the  new  fish  hatchery  building  at  the. 
Battle  Creek  sub-station  of  the  United  States  salmon 
hatchery  will  be  carried  on  as  rapidly  as  possible. 
]  The  building  at  Battle  Creek  will  be  50  by  120 
feet  in  size,  and  will  allow  for  an  increased  capacity 
/.of  the  hatchery  to  100,000,000  eggs.  Last  year  the 
take  was  5S,06S,000,  -the  scarcity  of  room,  preventing 
■a  bigger  take. 

When  it  is  -considered  that  the  Battle  Creek  station 
is  already  the  largest  fish  hatchery  in  the  world,  some 
idea  can  be  had  as  to  what  the  magnitude  of  the  sta- 
tion will  be  when  it  is  doubled  in  size. 

A  large  force  of  carpenters  will  be  put  to  work,  the 
old  building  moved,  and  the  new  and  modern' one 
erected  in  time  for  the  summer  take  of  eggs. 


A   Bag  of  Wildcats. 

Supervisor  Charles  Boxton,  X.  J.  Frankenberg  and 
N.  C.  Terwilliger  of  San  Francisco,  while  hunting  last 
week  on  the  ranch  of  the  Western  Live  Stock  Com- 
pany, one  mile  from  Laytonville,  in  Mendocino  county, 
came  upon  a  bunch  of  five  vicious  wildcats.  After  a 
lively  battle,  which  lasted  half  an  hour,  the  party  suc- 
ceeded in  killing  all  of  the  bobcats.  The  largest  one 
measured  three  feet  nine  inches. 


Seizure  of  Illegal  Sized  Fish.  On  Tuesday  Game 
Warden  George  Neale  seized  2250  pounds  of  under- 
weight striped  bass,  on  the  arrival  at  Sacramento  of 
the  boxes  of  fish  consigned  to  the  American  Fish 
Company.  The  fish  were  sent  from  Porta  Costa  by 
one  Petrich,  the  same  fisherman  who  sent  the  under- 
sized bass  to  Sacramento  last  week,  and  for  which 
both  he  and  the  fish  company's  manager  paid  fines, 
as  is  noted  elsewhere. 

Among  the  2250  pounds  of  striped  bass  seized,  but 
four  fish  were  found  that  were  over  the  weight  re- 
quired by  law,  three  pounds.  It  was  evident  that  the 
net  fishermen  had  not  made  the  slightest  effort  at 
compliance  with  the  law.  It  is  very  probable  that 
the  shipper  will  be  arrested  again  also.  The  limit 
fine  for  this  offense  is  S200  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that 
the  shipper  will  get  the  limit,  the  fine  of  $30  last 
week  seeming  to  have  been  of  but  little  effect. 

The  American  Fish  Company  declined  to  receive  the 
vnderu  eight  consignment  and  Mr.  X 'ale  ennfiifatP'J 
the  fish,  all  of  which  were  packed  in  crates,  each 
holding  250  pounds.  Mr.  Neale  divided  the  fish  around 
among  the  orphanages  and  charitable  institutions  of 
Sacramento. 

"It  is  hard  to  make  a  case  against  the  shipper  of 
proscribed  fish."  said  Mr.  Xeale.  "The  consignment 
1  seized  was  shipped  from  Port  Costa;  ^the  consign- 
ment I  seized  a  week  ago  was  shipped  from  Black 
Diamond.  The  shipper  does  not  express  the  fish.  As 
a  mle  he  goes  to  a  way  station  and  puts  the  crates 
aboard  a  train  with  only  a  card  marked  with  initials  [ 
or  letters  of  some  kind  to  indicate  the  sender.  It  is 
presumed  the  consignee  knows  the  name  of  the  sender, 
but  they  usually  are  not  anxious  to  teli  what  they 
kiiov."

The   Leader  Shells   Lead. 

It's  hard  to  beat  the  "Leaders."  This  refers  to 
those  that  lead  in  trap  shooting,  as  well  as  to  the 
"Winchester  "Leader"  shells,  which  seem  to  be  on  the 
top  all  the  time.  From  all  points  throughout  the 
United  States  come  reports  of  important  winnings 
made  with  these  shells,  some  of  them  being  very 
nearly  clean  sweeps.  For  instance,  the  twelfth  an- 
nual tournament  of  the  Montana  State  Sportsmen's 
Association,  held  at  Bozeman,  Mont.,  resulted  in  every 
medal  and  trophy  contested  for,  as  well  as  all  the 
amateur  averages,  being  won  by  shooters  that  used 
the  "Leader"  shells.  The  exhibition  shoot  given  by 
the  professionals  present  at  25  targets,  was  also  won 
with  the  "Leader"  shells,  the  winners  being  Messrs. 
H.  C.  Hirschy,  A.  Grosebeck  and  Fred  Gilbert.  At 
the  Texas  State  shoot  the  high  professional,  as  well 
as  the  first  and  second  high  amateur  averages,  were 


woil  by  F.  Wf.  Faurote.  I.  A.  Dryden  and  David  Cur-  ri  ' 
respectively,  all  shooting  the  "Leaded  shells  \r 
New-York  State  shoot,  held  at  Utfcal  1.1, -  Dean  Rich- 
mond trOphy,  valued  at  SI.'OO.  which  -was  by  far  the 
most  important- trophy  contested  for  at  this  tourna- 
ment, and  which  Is  emblematic  of  the  two-man  team 
championship,  was  captured  by  J.  W.irniek  and  Al. 
Green/  both  'gentlemen  lising  the  -Leader"  shells.  At 
the  tournament  of  the  North  Carolina  Trap  Shooting 
Association,  held  at  Durham.  Mr.  li.  M.  Collins,  an 
amateur,  won  the  high  general  average,  the  second 
amateur  average  being  captured  by  E.  C.  English. 
Both  of  the  above  shooters  used  "Leader"  shells.  At 
the  Chef  Menteur,  La.,  tournament.  Mr.  R.  E.  Saucier, 
shooting  the  "Leader"  shells,  won  for  the  second  con- 
secutive time  the  handsome  Du  Pont  trophy  on  the 
splendid  score  of  49  out  of  the  possible  50  from  the 
18-yard  mark.  The  high  professional,  as  well  as  the 
first  three  highest  amateur  averages  at  this  tourna- 
ment, were  also  won  by  shooters  that  used  the  time- 
tried  Winchester  "Leader"  shells,  namely:  F.  M. 
Faurote.  high  professional:  R.  E.  'Saucier.  D.  W. 
Breazeale  and  "Siligo."  high  amateur.  Of  course  all 
the  above  shot  the  "Leader"  shells.  At  the  Canton. 
O..  State  shoot,  the  Sportsmen's  Review  cup.  em- 
blematic of  the  two-man  team  championship  of  the 
State  of  Ohio,  was  captured  by  Frank  Hulshizer  and 
Jesse  Orr,  both  using  the  "Leader"1  shells  At  the 
Capital  City  grounds  at  Little  Rock,  Ark.,  J.  M.  Pem- 
berton  again  successfully  defended  the  individual 
State  championship  in  a  shoot  with  S.  M.  Powell,  beat- 
ing him  five  targets.  This  makes  the  second  time 
Mr.  Pemberton  has  defeated  Mr.  Powell  for  this 
medal.  The  former  gentleman  used  the  "Leader" 
shells,  the  shells  he  always  uses.  At  Brenhan,  Texas, 
Otto  Sens  won  the  high  amateur  average  with  the  " 
magnificent  score  of  387  out  of  the  400.  Mr.-  Sens  al- 
ways uses  the  Winchester  "Leader"  shells.  At  the 
Jacks  Creek,  Tex.,  tournament,  F.  M.  Faurote  was 
again  in  evidence  and  captured  the  high  professional 
average  of  96  per  cent.  I.  A.  Dryden  being  the  winner 
of  the  high  amateur  average  at  this  tournament. 
Both  of  these  gentlemen  used  the  "Leader"  shells. 
On  the  top  of  all  this  is  the  most  won.lerful  straight 
run  made  by  W.  R.  ("Billy")  Crosby  df  419  without  a 
miss  in  a  regular  bonafide  tournament.  Mr.  Crosby 
has  held  the  world's  long-run  record  of  345  straight, 
since  March  31,  1901,  and  now  makes  another  world's 
record  of  419.  "Billy"  Crosby,  as  well  as  Fred  Gilbert, 
H.  C.  Hirschy.  J.  A.  R.  Elliott,  Harold  Money,  F.  M. 
Faurote.  R»  R.  Barber,  the  winner  of  this  year's 
Grand  American  Handicap,  and  any  number  of  other 
famous  trap  shots  swear  by  the  Winchester  "Leader" 
shells  and  have  made  all  their  records  with  these 
shells 


HOW    TO    EXHIBIT. 


It  is  well  known  that  the  different 
breeds  and  the  herds  are  estimated  by 
the  numbers  and  quality  and  especially 
the  quality  of  their  exhibit,  not  only 
at  the  state  fairs  (for  the  mass  of  the 
people  attend  only  the  district  and 
county  fairs),  but  at  smaller  fairs  as 
well.  So  if  you  wish  to  create  a  de- 
mand for  your  hogs,  to  give  your  herd 
prestige,  and  to  do  your  share  in  keep- 
ing the  Berkshire  hog  at  the  head  of 
the  list,  show  your  Berkshires  at 
every  fair  within  your  reach,  writes 
E.  Duncan  in  "Blooded  Stock."  Now, 
it  does  no  herd  any  good  to  be  repre- 
sented by  hogs  of  medium  or  low  qual- 
ity or  even  by  fairly  good  hogs  that 
are  only  in  medium  condition,  but  a 
pair  of  pigs  or  one  boar  and  his  get 
or  sow  and  produce  in  prime  condi- 
tion, will  attract  more  favorable  at- 
tention than  twenty  or  twenty-five 
head  just  run  in  out  of  the  pasture  in 
order  to  fill  all  the  classes.  The  same 
attention  on  five  or  six  head  will  prob- 
ably do  you  more  good  than  scanty 
attention  and  feed  on  three  or  four 
times  as  many.  It  is  a  good  idea  to 
let  it  be  known  that  your  hogs  will  be 
at  certain  fairs.  This  will  benefit  you 
and  the  breed.  "Why  the  breed?  Be- 
cause if  known  that  a  good  herd  will 
be  on  hand,  it  will  stop  the  fellows 
that  run  in  hogs  out  of  the  field  ex- 
pecting to  carry  off  the  prizes  on  ac- 
count of  no  competition:  second,  it 
will  help  the  breed  because  it  will  act 
as  a  stimulant  on  those  who  have  good 
hogs  and  are  preparing  them  to  do 
their  best,  knowing  that  competition 
will  be  sharp.  It  will  benefit  you  be- 
cause parties  at  all  interested  in  see- 
ing your  stock  will  make  It  a  point  to 
be  there,  besides  all  benefit  to  the 
breed  is  benefit  to  you.  To  accomplish 
this  end  let  your  personal  acquaint- 
ances, and  those  to  whom  you  are 
known  by  reputation,  know  by  letter 
and  by  notice  In  the  live  stock  and 
county  papers,  where  your  hogs  can 
be  seen  on  exhibition,  and  having  good 
hogs  as  heretofore  stated  your  herd 
and  breed  will  have  a  splendid  chance 
for  favorable  comparison.    If  you  don't 


have  a  catalogue  of  your  hogs,  have 
a  neat,  attractive  circular  setting  forth 
the  good  points  of  your  herd  and  breed. 
If  you  have  no  Berkshire  classes,  get 
the  other  breeds  of  Berkshires  together, 
pick  a  judge  and  have  him  tie  ribbons 
on  the  best  recorded  Berkshires. 

When  you  are  out  at  a  fair  do  not 
fail  to  show  your  hogs  and  enthusiasm 
to  all  those  interested  enough  to  want 
to  know  more  about  "the  best  hog." 
Carry  along  your  certificate-  of  regis- 
ter, so  if  called  on  to  do  so  you  can 
show  same  to  the  judges,  buyer  or 
competitor. 

And  lastly,  -whether  you  beat  the 
other  fellow  or  he  beats  you,  see  that 
your  treatment  of  the  fair  officials, 
judges,  competitors,  and  the  public  is 
such  as  to  gain  their  confidence  and 
esteem. 


important  things  in  shipping  live 
poultry  is  to  see  that  the  stock  is 
taken  to  market  as  quickly  as  possible. 


STERILIZE   MILK   CANS. 


SHIPPING    POULTRY. 


The  shipping  season  for  poultry  is 
at  hand.  The  demand  for  poultry  is 
good  now,  and  prices  are  high.  Where 
only  a  small  number  of  birds  are  to 
be  sold  it  would  probably  be  best  to 
patronize  a  local  firm,  says  an  ex- 
change, but  if  a  large  shipment  is  to 
be  made  it  would  pay  the  poultry 
raiser  to  handle  his  shipments  through 
some  reliable  commission  firm  on  the 
large  markets.  These  firms  will  gladly 
furnish  daily  market  quotations  so 
that  the  shipper  can  keep  in  touch  with 
the  market  each  day.  and,  therefore, 
come  pretty  near  knowing  what  poul- 
try is  w-orth. 

It  is  often  best  for  a  number  of 
neighbors  to  combine  their  interests 
and  ship  their  poultry  together,  send- 
ing the  shipment  direct  to  the  large 
commission  houses  and  thereby  avoid 
handling  the  sales  through  a  third 
party. 

In  shipping  live  poultry  it  is  a  good 
plan  to  grade  the  shipment.  Feed  the 
fowls  all  they  will  eat  just  prior  to 
shipping.  We  know  of  no  better  feed 
than  good  shelled  corn  or  wheat.  Give 
the  birds  plenty  of  water.  One  who 
shipped  several  thousand  dollars' 
worth  of  poultry  last  winter  to  Chi- 
cago claims  that  125  pounds  of  live 
poultry  will  consume  eight  pounds  of 
shelled  corn  in  the  last  feed  just  prior 
to  shipment.  He  feeds  shelled  corn 
and  gives  the  fowls  all  they  will  eat 
just  before  being  placed  on  the  cars. 
He  says  that  by  this  method  of  feed- 
ing a  shrinkage  of  one-tenth  the  total 
live  weight  Is  sustained.     One  of  the 


An  interesting  test  of  the  effect  of 
cleaning  milk  cans,  making  them  germ 
free  by  tbe  use  of  steam  before  milk  is 
poured  into  them,  has  been  made  in 
Germany.  Some  time  during  hot  sum- 
mer weather  two  milk  cans  were  se- 
lected ;  one  was  thoroughly  well  clean- 
ed in  the  ordinary-  way  by  scrubbing 
with  hot  water;  the  other  was  sub- 
jected to  the  action,  of  steam  for  half 
an-  hour.  In  the  first,  the  milk  went 
sour  in  twenty-three  hours;  in  the 
second,  twenty-eight  and  one-half 
hours,  and  the  contents  of  the  first  can 
were  found  to  contain  twenty-six  times 
as  many  bacteria  as  the  other.  The 
same  experiment  repeated  in  the  win- 
ter showed  that  the  sterilized  milk  can 
will  keep  the  milk  sweet  for  nine  hours 
longer  than   the   other.

Clean  dairy  utensils  are  half  of  the 
battle. 

Never  skim  milk  when  it  is  over  36 
hours   old. 

When  the  young  heifer  kicks  give 
her  a  caress  in  return. 

Good  breeding  and  good  feeding  are 
the   dairyman's   long   suit. 

Some  cows  are  naturally  stubborn 
just   as   some   horses   race. 

Thunder  showers  preceded  by  sultry 
weather  make  sour  milk. 

The  dairy  calf  needs  attention  now 
as  well  as  at  any  other  time. 

A  cup.  medium  size,  of  salt  is  enough 
for    five    pounds    of    butter. 

The  milking  stool  Is  a  dangerous 
weapon  in  the  hands  of  a  bad-tempered 
milker. 

Thirty  to  forty  pounds  of  cow  peas 
will  plant  an  acre  In  rows  for  cultiva- 
tion. Good  crop  for  Southern  dairy 
farmers  to  raise. 

Where  mangles  are  fed  to  cows  they 
may  be  fed  quite  freely,  giving  them 
from  a  peck  to  half  a  bushel  per  day 
with   great  benefit. 

There  are  some  cows  which  make 
white  butter  all  the  year  around  and 
three  drops  of  coloring  in  a  gallon  jar 
will  make  it  look  more  palatable. 

Rancid  butter  is  made  from  over-ripe 
cream  and  may  taste  when  taken  from 
the  churn  all  right,  but  In  a  few  hours 
it  Is  the  same  old  sour  cream.

at  a  season  when  labor  is  valuable,  and 
cows  thus  treated  must  have  a  docile 
disposition-— Thornwell  Haynes,  Rouen.

INOCULATING    THE    SOIL. 


SUMMER     INDIGESTION     IN    COWS. 

It  is  a  common  expression  to  speak 
of  a  cow  as  losing  her  cud  when  she 
stops  ruminating.  The  trouble  is  due 
to  indigestion  wholly  and  may  be 
easily  remedied,  in  most  cases,  by  a 
proper  diet.  Usually  this  trouble  oc- 
curs most  frequently  in  the  winter 
when  the  cows  are  heavily  grain  fed, 
but  sometimes  occurs  with  cows  in 
the  summer  who  are  on  the  range,  but 
are  receiving  some  grain.  In  such 
cases  a  good  plan  is  to  cut  out  the 
grain  ration  entirely  for  a  few  days, 
or  until  the  cow  again  chews  her  cud. 
For  a  time  after  she  resumes  ruminat- 
ing, feed  her  largely  on  the  grass  with 
some  good  hay  and  gradually  get  her 
on  to  the  grain.  A  day  or  two  after 
the  grain  ration  has  been  cut  off,  the 
cow  should  have  a  single  dose  of  one 
pound  of  epsom  salts  and  two  ounces 
of  ground  ginger  root,  -mixed  in  two 
quarts  of  warm  water.  In  the  winter 
reduce  the  grain  ration  one-half,  give 
Her  the  medicine  named  above  at  the 
beginning  of  the  treatment  and  make 
Up  the  ration  with  roots  or  ensilage.

■  >■   export 


The  new  theory  in  regard  to  inocu- 
lating soil  for  the  growth  of  certain 
plants  has  led  to  two  difficulties.  The 
first  is  the  sufficient  supply  of  the 
necessary  bacteria  and  the  second  is 
in  supplying  the  demand.  Fungus  and 
other  diseases  have  been  transported 
from  one  part  of  the  country  to  an- 
other by  the  practice  of  buying  bac- 
teria    inoculated   soil. 

Satisfactory  crops  of  alfalfa  have 
been  grown  by  securing  soil  from  a 
successful  alfalfa  field.  The  same  may 
be  said  of  cow  peas  and  other  legumes. 
But  in  several  instances  plant  di- 
si  ses,  new  to  the  country,  have  been 
directly  traced  to  this  manner  of 
transferring  soil  from  one  farm  to  an- 
other. Some  plant  spores  live  in  the 
soil  and  they  may  remain  dormant  for 
some  time,  but  spring  into  active  life 
when  conditions  are  favorable.  Cab- 
bage disease,  parasitical  trouble's  in 
regard  to  tomato  growing,  and  cer- 
tain wilt  diseases  are  readily  trans- 
ferred in  this  way.  The  "probabilities 
are  that  many  other  plant  diseases  are 
likely  to  be  carried  in  the  soil.  Al- 
most every  valuable  agricultural  plant 
has  its  natural  enemies.  By  a  good 
system  of  rotation  and  careful  farm- 
ing they  may  be  kept  under  subjection 
when  their  habits  are  known,  but 
when  transported  to  other  sections  of 
the  country  they  often  produce  more 
worry  than  destruction  because  farm- 
ers are"  not  up  in  methods  of  fighting 
them. 

Haphazard  methods  of  buying  in- 
oculated soil  are  dangerous.  If  a 
farmer  is  inclined  to  experiment  In 
this  way  it  is  a  good  plan  to  visit  the 
farm,-  study  the  crops  grown  and  as- 
certain if  trouble  has  been  experienced 
from  any  fungus  or  parasitic  diseases. 
Besides  the  danger  of  imparting 
.plant  .  diseases  the  ungerminated 
seeds  of  noxious  weeds  also  may  be 
brought  home  in  this  way.  It  is  a 
common  practice  to  take  alfalfa  sub- 
soil for  the  purpose  of  inoculating 
other  fields  intended  for  this  crop. 
Certain  noxious  weed  seeds  lie  dor- 
mant- in  the  under  soil  when  covered 
too-  deep  for  germination.  This  under 
soil  when  spread  on  the  surface  and 
mixed  with  the  warm  upper  earth 
furnishes  the  exact  conditions  neces- 
sary to  sprout  these  seeds.  Great  ben- 
efits may  be  derived  from  inoculating 
certain  soils  but  before  taking  the  risk 
it  is  better  to  study  the  problem 
thoroughly. 


PROFIT    IN   COWS. 


PRESERVING    EGGS    FOR    WINTER. 


Next  to  cold  storage,  water  glass  is 
the  best  preservative  for  eggs.  But 
temperature  has  much  to  do  with  the 
keeping  of  eggs. 

The  first  essential  in  all  methods  of 
egg  preservations  is  in  starting  with 
eggs  that  are  perfectly  fresh.  The  com- 
mercial name  for  water  glass  is  soda 
silicate.  It  is  used  extensively  by  soap 
makers  and  it  is  sold  by  the  barrel. 
It  is  cheap  stuff,  selling  generally  at 
from  one  to  two  cents  a  pound,  ac- 
cording to  quantity. 

In  making  the  solution  boiled  water 
is  best  because  the  impurities  are  de- 
stroyed by  boiling  and  the  air  is 
forced  out  of  the  water.  One  secret  in 
keeping  eggs  is  to  keep  them  away 
from  the  atmosphere.  The  ordinary 
well  water  contains  some  air.  A  bout 
a  10  per  cent  solution  of  water  glass  is 
used  and  the  liquid  is  kept  in  a  cool 
cellar.  Eggs  carefully  preserved  in 
this  way  will  keep  six  months  and  are 
just  as  good  for  cooking  purposes  as 
fresh  eggs. 


■  I       m    if  just   right    will   turn    to 
to    20    minutes1 


The  story  comes  up  that  the  great 
ranges  of  the  staked  phi  Ins  of  western 
Texas  ana  lopping  well  over  into 
eastern  New  Mexico  are  becoming  un- 
mercifully overstocked  with  sheep. 
This  is  causing  some  uneasiness 
among  owners  who  are  wondering  what 
is  to  be  done  with  all  the  wooli'es.  A 
movement  is  on  foot  on  the  part  of 
land  owners  in  old  Mexico,  especially 
in  the  great  foothill  regions  of  that 
Country,  bp  transform  some  of  the  big 
cattle  ranches  into  sheep  ranges  and 
hi  fact  contracts  are  already  being 
made  with  this  end  in  vie.w.  The  man- 
ager of  the  Hearst  ranch  in  Chihua- 
hua has  bought  20,000  American  sheep 
and  is  ready  t><  take  some  more  to  eal 
the  fine  grass  with  which  thai  country 

is     blessed     this    year. 


Many  figures  have  been  published 
during  the  past  year  to  prove  that 
high-priced  cows  return  the  biggest 
profits.  The  manager  of  one  well- 
known  farm  claims  a  profit  of  $175.40 
as  an  average  per  cow  for  last  year. 
The  figures  do  not  take  into  account 
the  milk  fed  to  young  stock  on  the 
farm.  The  same  man  says  he  is  trying 
for  a  profit  of  $200  per  cow  this  year.   • 

There  is  no  reason  to  doubt  these 
figures;  they  come  from  a  source,  that 
is  above  reproach,  but  they  are  well 
calculated  to  set  the  average  dairy 
farmer  thinking.  One  hundred  and  > 
seventy-five  dollars  for  the  milk,  cream 
and  butter  sold  is  fully  three  times  as- 
much  as  the  average  cow  brings.  This 
much  money  is  never  made  by  poor  or 
even  medium  cows.  They  must  all  be  . 
of  the  best. 

It  costs  more  money  to  get  a  valu- 
able cow  and  it  requires  brains  to  take 
care  of  her  after  she  is  bought-  and 
paid  for.  It  would  do  a  farmer  no  good 
to  pay  $200  for.  a  thoroughbred  cow. of  , 
large  milking  capacity  unless  he  has 
the  knowledge  necessary  to  take  prop- 
er care  of  her  and  the  stable,  feed, 
market  and  other  facilities  to  carry  - 
on    the    business. 

The  best  cows  may  be  easily  made 
into  scrubs  by  giving  them  scrub  treat- 
ment. It  is  not  advisable  to  invest 
two  or  three  hundred  dollars  for  an 
extra  valuable  cow  unless  the  farmer 
has  had  some  experience  with  well- 
bred  stock.  It  would  be  much  better 
to  pay  that  much  money  for  a  good 
bull  and  grade  up  from  common  cows 
for  a  few  years;  then  work  into  high- 
priced  animals  as  experience  suggests. 

A  great  deal  of  money  has  been  lost 
by  fanners  because  of  undertaking 
what  they  did  not  thoroughly  under- 
stand. Good  grades  require  different 
treatment  from  common  hardy  scrubs. 
The  breeding  and  care  of  grades  fits 
a  man  for  the  finer  and  more  scientific 
management   of  thoroughbreds. 


One  who  knows  from  experience 
says :  The  man  who  sells  milk 
around  town  as  a  business  has  to  con-  . 
sider  a  good  many  little  things  which 
has  a  great  influence  on  his  success. 
One  of  the  first  requisites  is  to  have  a 
clean  looking  wagon,  with  the  inside 
so  arranged  that  customers  will  be 
given  the  impression  that  everything 
is  looked  after  in  the  most  careful 
manner.  We  have  known  a  good  cus- 
tomer to  be  lost  just  because  a  driver 
had  a  piece  of  dirty  carpet  in  the  bot- 
tom of  the  wagflnflP  to  keep  his  feet 
warm  in  winter  time.  The  measures 
must  be  kept  scoured  and  bright  and 
it  pays  to  buy  new  dishes  often  just 
for  the  influence  they  have  in  quiet- 
ing the  fears  of  customers  as  to  dirt. 
The  milk  cans  too  should  be  scoured 
and  kept  bright  for  the  same  reason. 
The  driver's  hands  must  be  kept  very 
clean  and  there  is  no  danger  of  being 
too  dudish  to  suit  the  customers. 
The  wagon  itself  should  never  be  al- 
lowed to  become  old"  in  looks.  A  coat 
of  varnish  now  and  then  will  help 
matters  very  materially  besides  put- 
ting a  polish  on  the  anticipations  of 
the   man  who  pays  the  freight.

EYE  DISEASE  OF  CATTLE. 


So-called  pink-eye — properly  term- 
ed contagious  ophthalmia  —  presents 
the' following-  effects: 

Symptoms — Adult,  young  cattle  and 
calves  first  show  swelling  of  the  eye- 
lids accompanied  by  weeping.  Red- 
ness of  membranes  of  eyelids  and 
"haw"  becomes  apparent,  creamy  dis- 
charge follows  and  in  three  or  four 
days  a  clouded  spot  shows  in  center 
of  eye  and  gradually  spreads  until 
sdght  of  eye  becomes  milk-colored. 
Changing  from  milk-color  to  pearl  tint 
the  eye  may  become  yellow,  bulge, 
show  bloodshot  streaks,  form  an  ab- 
scess amd  burst,  leaving  a  ragged  ulcer, 
or  commence  to  clear  up  and  finally 
recover.  Slight  ulcers  may  heal  by 
granulation,  but  extensive  ruptures  and 
ulcers  often  lead  to  loss-  of  sight.  Fever 
and  some  loss  of  appetite  are  present. 
especially  in  young  cattle,  for  a  week 
or  more  from  time  of  first  attack  amd 
dairy  cows  may  shrink  in  milk  pro- 
duction. 

Treatment  —  The  disease  being 
"catching"  and  doubtless  due  to  a  germ 
which  leads  to  its  spread  from  one 
animal  to  another,  affected  cattle 
should  be  separated  from  unaffected. 
The  eyes  of  the  latter  should  be  wash- 
ed once  or  twice  a  week  with  a  solu- 
tion* of  two  drams  of  boracic  acid  in 
a  pint  of  water  as  a  possible  preven- 
tive, and  pastures  bordering  on  rivers, 
ponds  and  sloughs  should  be  aban- 
doned as  the  disease  seems  most 
liable  to  attack  cattle  grazing  on  such 
low  wet  ground. 

Place  affected  cattle  ton  a  darkened 
shed  or  stable.  Give  each  adult  ani- 
mal a  one-pound  dose  of  epsom  salts 
with  one  ounce  of  saltpeter  and  one 
ounce  of  ground  ginger  root  in  two 
quarts  of  warm  water  as  one  dose  and 
follow  with  a  tablespoonful  of  salt- 
peter twice  daily  in  drinking  water  or 
soft  food.  Younger  cattle  should  have 
the  same  medicine  in  smaller  doses 
according  to  age  and  size.  While  un- 
der treatment  do  not  feed  grain  but 
give  soft  and  green  food;  allow  all  the 
cold  water  animals  will  take. 

At  the  commencement  of  an  attack 
puff  between  eyelids  by  means  of  a 
clean  insect  powder  bellows  a  mix- 
ture of  equal  parts  of  finely  powdered 
calomel  amd  boracic  acid;  or  cover 
eyes  with  soft  cloth  to  be  kept  wet 
with  a  1-2000  solution  of  bichloride  of 
mercury  (corrosive  sublimate).  This 
treatment  may  prove  sufficient  in  a 
majority  of  cases,  but  should  the  di- 
sease persist  and  aggravate,  substi- 
tute for  above  lotion  one  consisting  of 
a  dram  each  of  sulphate  of  zinc  and 
fluid  extract  of  belladonna  leaves, 
with  20  drops  of  carbolic  acid  in  a 
quart  of  clean,  soft  water  with  which 
to  keep  cloth  over  eyes  continually 
wet. 

When  inflammation  subsides  should 
the  eye  remain  milky-appearing  paint 
once  daily  with  1-1000  solution  of  bi- 
chloride of  mercury  or  3  per  cent  so- 
lution of  boracic  acid.  In  bad  cases 
which  are  tardy  in  responding  to 
treatment  give  (except  to  pregnant 
cows)  one  dram  of  iodide  of  potash 
twice  daily  for  adult  animal  and  from 
ten  to  twenty  grains  for  calves  and 
yearlings,  continuing  its  use  for  one 
week.  Ragged  ulcers  may  with  bene- 
fit be  painted  with  a  solution  of  three 
grains  of  nitrate  of  silver  Jn  an  ounce 
of  distilled  water  two  or  three  times  a 
week.  Lastly,  quarantine  animals 
bought  at  stockyards  shipped  in  or 
from  infected  herds. 


COWS    AND   THEIR    FEED. 


It  takes  a  large  quantity  of  feed  to 
make    a   large    quantity   of   milk.     The 
.  time  and  attention  necessary  to  prop- 
erly  care  for  cows  is  about  the   same 
with  the  best  as  it   is  the  medium  or 
poor  ones.     There  is  no  profit  until  the 
'  product    obtained    is    sufficient    to    pay 
j  all  expenses. 

'    Many     cows     that     might     properly 
;  come  under  the  head  of  medium,  just 
about    reach    the    dividing    point    be- 
tween    expense     and     profit.      Valuing 
feed     at    market    prices     the     average 
cost  of  keeping  a  cow  a  year  is  in  the 
neighborhood    of   .$30.      Until    the    pro- 
;  duct  of   a   cow   reaches   $30   there  can 
I  be  no    profit.      Some    cows    make    $30, 
lathers     make     $60.       One     returns     no 
profit,  the  other  returns  a  profit  of  $30. 
I  The  cost  is  the  same,  except  in  feeding 
jjthe   better    cow    in     almost     every    in- 
1   stance    will    consume    more    food.      In 
llooking   for   profit   the   greatest    eaters 

IUhould  be  chosen  because  no  cow  can 
manufacture    milk    without     sufficient 
capacity.     A  cow  is  in  one  sense   like 
\i  factory  machine,  the  more  raw  ma- 


terial it  chews  .up. .the ^greater  the  out- 
put and  the  greater  the  profit.  -  "Some 
machines  are  worth  more  than  others 
because  their  capacity  is  greater. 
But  the  attendant  must  know  how  to 
feed  it.  With  both  the  cow  and  the 
factory  machine  the  right  kind  of  raw 
material  must  be  fed  in  just  the  right 
proportions.  The  feeding  must  be 
regular  and  crowding,  if  attempted  at 
all,  must  be  done  in  a  very  gentle 
way. 

But  the  cow  is  unlike  a  machine 
after  feeding  has  been  stinted;  a  ma- 
chine may  run  light  or  empty  and  re- 
sume work  again  at  its  normal  capac- 
ity— not  so  with  the  cow.  When  by 
neglect  or  improper  feeding  the  milk 
flow  is  reduced,  the  most  skillful 
feeder  is  unable  to  bring  it  back  dur- 
ing the  lactation  period. 


BARN      COMFORTS      FOR      HORSES. 


It  is  a  good  plan  to.  give  the  horse  in 
the  stable  all  the  fresh  air  possible 
and  some  stables  are  arranged  so  that 
a  window  is  in  front  of  the  horses. 
This  is  an  excellent  plan,  for  by  ar- 
ranging such  a  window  the  horse  may 
have  plenty '  of  fresh  air  day  and 
night-     Here  is  the  way  to  do  it: 

Have  a  sliding  sash  and.  also  a  slid- 
ing screen  which  may  be  put  in  place 
when  desired.  Have  this  screen  of 
fine  mesh  wire  of  the  regulation  size 
used  for  windows  of  houses.  Then,  on 
the  outside  construct  a  sloping  roof 
over  the  window  held  in  place  by  cor- 
ner posts  resting  on  a  board  shelf 
which '  in  turn  is  held  in  '  place  by 
braces  from  its  bottom  to  the  side  of 
the  barn.  On.  all  suitable  occasions 
have  the  windows  open  so  that  the 
horse  may  get  its  head  out.  The  roof 
will  shade  its  head  from  the  sun  yet 
the  opening  will  be  large  enough  so 
that  it  will  get  plenty  of  air.  During 
the  night  the  screen  may  be  placed 
over  the  opening  to  shut  out  insects 
and  in  the"  event  of  a  heavy  storm  the 
glass  sash  may  be  pulled  in  place 
wholly  or  in  part. 

The  cost  of  such  an  arrangement  is 
comparatively  small,  but  it  will  add 
much  to  the  comfort  of  the  horse, 
particularly  .  if  other  windows  in  the 
barn  are  so  arranged  that  there  is 
plenty  of  ventilation,  even  when  it  is 
necessary  to  close  the  window  in  front 
of  him.

Slum  at  Kansas  City,  Oct.  9  to  14  this 
year.  The  official  premium  list  has 
been  received.  A  perusal  of  the  book 
shows  what  a  truly  marvelous  advance 
this  show  has  made.  In  the  classes 
for  Short-horns  there  are  eight 
moneys,  as  many  in  those  for  Here- 
fords,  six  in  those  for  Galloways  and 
eight  in  those  for  the  Angus.  In  ad- 
dition pure-bred  and  grade  fat  and 
feeding  cattle  singly  and  in  carlots 
are  provided  for  in  the  most  ample 
manner.  The  draft  and  coach  horse 
show  this  season  promises  much,  a 
goodly  sum  having  been  offered  for 
the  Percherons,  Belgians,  Shires  and 
Clydesdales  and  the  French  and  Ger- 
man Coachers.  T.  J.  Wornall,  Liberty,

Application  for  the  premium  list 
should  be  made  to  Mr.   Thomas. 


The  demand  for  men  with  technical 
education  as  foresters  seems  to  be 
growing  more  rapidly  than  the  supply. 
We  are  informed  by  the  Forest  Service 
at  Washington.  D.  C,  that  a  number  of 
positions  with  substantial  emolu- 
ments, are  opened  to  trained  foresters. 
One  .-result  of  this  demand  likely  will 
be  the  establishment  of  chairs  of  for- 
estry in  our  leading  agricultural  col- 
leges. At  present  only  a  few  of  these 
institutions  give  instruction  in  for- 
estry.

QuiKCV.  III.,  May  12,  1905 
Some  twelve  months  ago  I  owned  a  horse  which 
w3s  practically  worthless,  due  to  a  very    bad 
Bone  Spavin  on  his  right  hind  leg. 

I  tried  various  remedies  without  success,  finally 
purchasing  from  the  Miller  &  Arthur  Drug  Co.  of 
this  city  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse  "  Alter 
using  one-half  the  contents  of  the  bottle,  accord 
lag  to  Instructions,  the  horse  has  never  taken  a 
lame  step.  I  would  gladly  have  sold  him  for 
twenty-five  dollars  before  using  '•Save-the- 
Horae.'"  I  have  sold  him  since  for  ninety  dollars, 
and  would  not  be  without  'Save-theHorse"  at 
double  the  cost.

San  Francisco,   Saturday,  August  19,  1905 

COLT  STAKES  are  the  very  life  of  the  harness 
horse  business  and  without  them  standard  bred  stal- 
lions would  not  be  patronized  as  heavily  as  they  now 
are.  There  is  a  fascination  about  breeding-  a  stake 
winner  that  takes  hold  of  nearly  every  person  that 
owns  a  well  bred  or  fast  mare,  and  the  desh-e  to  win 
a.  stake  with  an  animal  of  one's  own  breeding  is 
almost  universal  among  horse  breeders.  If  it  were  not 
for  the  colt  stakes  which  give  the  three-year-olds  a 
large  earning  capacity,  many  breeders  would  soon 
fall  into  the  habit  of  sending  their  mares  to  stallions 
of  the  draft  or  coach  breeds  in  the  hope  of  getting  a 
foal  large  enough  to  sell  in  the  city  horse  marts  for 
draft  or  express  purposes.  The  love  of  the  handsome 
and  fast  light  harness  horse  is  very  strong  in  many 
men,,  but  there  are  a  much  larger  number  whose 
love  of  the  money  hung  up  in  stakes  vastly  exceeds 
their  love  for  the  colt  that  can  win  it,  and  when 
they  see  stakes  advertised  in  which  the  winner  will 
be  paid  a  large  sum,  they  send  their  favorite  mares 
to  the  stallion  which  in  their  opinion  will  be  most 
iikely  to  sire  the  speed  required  to  win.  For  these 
reasons  it  behooves  every  stallion  owner  to  do  his 
utmost  toward  making  the  stakes  successful.  In  this 
State  we  have  the  Breeders'  Futurity,  the  Occident 
and  the  Stanford  Stakes,  and  each  and  every  one 
should  have  twice  the  entries  it  receives.  While  these 
stakes  are  successful  and  worth  from  $2000  to  $3000 
to  the  winner,  if  the  stallion  owners  would  do  a  little 
missionary  work  each  year  among  the  patrons  of 
their  horse,  they  would  be  worth  not  less  than  $5000 
each  to  the  winner,  and  this  would  lead  to  the  breed- 
ing of  twice  as  many  mares  each  year.  There  is  a 
third  payment  on  the  foals  of  this  year  in  Breeders' 
Futurity  No.  5,  which  will  be  due  and  payable  Sep- 
tember 1st.  The  guaranteed  value  of  this  stake  is 
$7000,  and  if  all  foals  on  which  second  payment  was 
made  have  this  third  payment  made  on  them  the 
stake  will  exceed  its  guarantee.  We  ask  every  stallion 
owner  whose  horse  is  represented  in  this  stake  by 
a  mare  bred  to  him  last  year,  to  use  his  influence  to 
have  the  foal  kept  in  the  stake.  It  will  benefit  them 
and  all  interested  in  the  breeding  of  trotters  and 
pacers. 


home  the  day  previous.  Mr.  Gallegos  was  72  years 
old  and  came  to  California  from  Central  America  in 
1880.  -  He  purchased  a  large  tract  of  land  at  Mission 
San  Jose  and  entered  largely  into  the  cultivation  of 
grapes,  and  other  fruits,  making  a  great  success  of  his 
venture.  He  also  bred  a  number  of  harness  horses, 
being  the  breeder  of  Diablilo  2:0S%  by  Diablo 'and  of 
Trilby  Direct  2:08^4  by-Direct,  besides  a  number  of, 
others.  Mr.  Gallegos  was  a  highly  educated  gentle- 
man, and  a  citizen  who  had  the  respect  and  esteem 
of  a  very  large  circle  of  acquaintances.  He  leaves 
a  wife,  two  sons  and  six  daughters,  to  mourn  his 
demise. 


SECRETARY  A.  W.  BRUNER,  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Horse  Association  in  connection  with  the  Directors  of 
that  organization,  is  hard  at  work  on  the  program 
.  for  a  big  fall  meeting  to  be  given  at  the  Los  Angvles 
t-ack  in  November.  The  purses  to  be  given  will  be 
liberal  enough  to  attract  horses  from  all  over  the 
Coast,  and  a  strong  effort  is  to  be  made  to  bring  some 
of  the  fastest  and  most  prominent  of  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit performers  to  the  Coast  to  compete  for  big 
purses  that  will  be  hung  up  for  them  in  races  and 
also  in  record-breaking  trials.  It  is  thought  that  a 
Southern  California  Fall  Circuit  can  be  arranged,  "with 
meetings  at  Los  Angeles,  San  Diego,  Santa  Ana,  San 
Berdnardino  and  Santa  Barbara,  and  if  this  is  ac- 
complished it  will  be  well  into  November  before  the 
last  races  are  trotted  in  California  this  year.  One 
thing  is  certain,  if  the  lethargy  which  now  prevails  at 
Pleasanton  and  San  Jose  continues,  this  southern  cir- 
cuit will  induce  many  trainers  to  do  their  winter  and 
spring  training  at  the  Los  Angeles  track,  as  with  the 
closing  meeting  of  this  and  the  opening  meeting  of 
next  season  located  there,  the  inducement  to  remain 
in  the  southern  metropolis  all  winter  will  be  very- 
strong. 


ANOTHER  California  horse  breeder  has  "crossed 
the  divide."  Last  Monday  afternoon  Mr.  Juan  Galle- 
gos, a  resident  of  Mission  San  Jose  in  Alameda  county, 
died  as  the  result  of  falling  down  the  stairs  at  his 


IT  SEEMS  all  the  members  of  the  Cleveland  Driv- 
ing Club  were  not  in  favor  of  declaring  off  the  meet- 
ing there  at  the  last  moment,  several  of  the  directors 
expressing  themselves  as  willing  to  go  down  into  their 
pockets  to  make  up  any  deficiency  that  might  result 
from  the  loss  incurred-  by  having  no  betting  on  the 
races.  This  was  very  commendable  on  their  part, 
and  evidence  that  they  were  game  sportsmen  who, 
having  induced  the  horsemen  to  incur  great  expense 
in  coming  to  Cleveland,  did  not  propose  to  disappoint 
them.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  entire  board  of 
directors  did  not  look  at  the  matter  in  the  same  way. 
Perhaps  the  deficiency  would  not  have  been  so  .large 
after  all,  and  it  is  more  than  probable  that  every 
owner  who  won  any  part  of  the  money  would  have 
consented  to  a  reduction  of  his  purse,  "pro  rata,"  in 
order  to  save  the  driving  club  from  loss. 


THE  TIME  TO  SELL  is  when  a  fair  price  is  offered 
for  a  horse,  no  matter  whether  he  is  a  world  beater 
or  a  plug.  This  of  course  applies  to  breeders,  and 
owners  who  are  in  moderate  circumstances  and  who 
desire  to  sell.  The  wealthy  man  who  owns  horses 
for  pleasure  can  afford  to  refuse  any  offer;  others 
cannot  Many  a  man  refuses  $1000  for  a  horse  when 
that  amount  of  money  would  mean  a  profit  to  him 
on  his  investment  and  afterwards  sells  for  $1200  or 
$1500  at  a  loss.  It  is  easy  to  sell  a  second  horse  to 
the  man  who  has  made  a  good  profit  on  the  first 
one  he  bought  from  you,  but  it  is  very  hard  work  to 
sell  one  to  the  person  who  lost  on  his  first  purchase. 


THE  FASIG-TIPTON  COMPANY  announces  the 
annual  Old  Glory  horse  auction  at  Madison  Square 
Garden,  November  20th  to  December  1st,  1905,  two 
weeks,  days  and  evenings,  following  the  National 
Horse  Show.  California  breeders  and  owners  who 
have  horses  to  sell  should  communicate  with  this 
company    immediately. 


STATE    FAIR    DIRECTORS    ARE   JUBILANT. 


SACRAMENTO,  August  17.— The  advent  of.  another 
week  se_es  the  odds  and  ends  in  .the  preparation  for 
the  coming  State  Fair  being  rapidly  whipped  into 
shape,  and  the  directors  are  jubilant  in  .consequence. 
As  the  work  of  putting  the  race  course  and  exhibition 
livestock  grounds  in  condition  progresses,  it  becomes 
more  and  more  apparent  that  the  State  will  have  the 
best  equipped  and  finest  racing  ground  in  the  West. 

The  track  is  already  in  fine  condition,  under  the 
direction  of  John  Haybut,  William  Fieldwick's  assist- 
ant, and  it  is  probable  horses  will  be  permitted  to 
work  over  the  new  course  by  next  Monday.  Haybut 
has  a  number  of  men  working  under  him,  and  there 
is  a  continuous  procession  of  watering  carts,  harrows 
and  drags  making  the  circuit  day  and  night. 

The  inner  and  outer  fences  around  the  track  will 
be  finished  in  a  few  days,  probably  by  Saturday  night. 
It  has  all  the  appearance  of  .-a  "dead  fast  track,"  as 
an  enthusiast  expressed  it  yesterday. 

Although  the  grandstand  is  to  he  only,  temporary, 
it  is  quite  a  pretentious  structure,  after  all.  Particu- 
lar attention  has  been  given  to  making  it  strong  and 
safe.  It  is  stoutly  supported  and  braced.  The  reason 
so  much  attention  has  been  given  to  this  important 
detail  is  because  the  public,  is  usually  wary  of  a  tem- 
porary structure.  There  is  no  cause  for  fear  in  this 
case.  Director  Thomas  Fox,  in  speaking  of  the  grand- 
stand said  he,  as  superintendent  of  the  park,  would 
rather  have  it  strong  and  safe  than  to  have  a  cover- 
ing over  it,  if  any  sacrifice  in  its  construction  had 
to  be  made.  However,  the  covering  will  not  be  sac- 
rificed. 

At  one  end  of  the  grandstand  there  will  be  a  room 
for  the  directors,  and  there  will  also  be  a  ladies' 
retiring  room.  There  will  be  direct  telegraphic  and 
telephonic  communication,  and  a  large  dining  hall  will 
be  located  under  the  stand.  The  kitchen  will  be  at  a 
sufficient  distance  from  the  dining  room  to  insure 
the  absence  of  the  odor  of  cookery. 

Work  has  been  commenced  on  a  new  stable  with 
forty  box  stalls  for  horses,  such  as  have  already  been 
built.     Additional  cattle  stalls  are  being  erected  also. 

Although  there  will  be  a  very  large  number  of 
horses  on  the  grounds,  Director  Fox  said  there  would 
be  no  scarcity  of  stall  room  for  them.  Of  course, 
some  of  them  will  have  to  be  quartered  in  temporary 
stalls,  but  they  will  be  commodious  and  properly 
roofed.  A  great  many  of  the  horses  now  racing  at 
Portland  will  be  shipped  here  for  the  State  Fair,  and 
with  the  very  excellent  trotting  program,  which  has 


been   published,   there  will  be  plenty  of  sport. 

The  directors  are  making  a  great  feature  of 
Nevada  Day,:-whi.  h  will  be  Monday,.  September  4th. 
This  is  also  Labor  Day,  and  the  two  big  events  will 
be  held  jointly.  The  people  of  Nevada,  particularly 
those  in  the  western  part  of  the  State,  are  enthusi- 
astic over  the  prospect,  and  promise  to  come  several 
hundred  strong.  Excursion  trains  will  be  run  from 
Reno,  a  round  trip  rate  of  $5,  good  for  six  days,  having 
been  made  for  this  particular  occatinn. 

Three  hundred  Indians  have  been  engaged  to  take 
part  in  the  big  demonstration,  and  at  the  park  there 
will  be  horse  races  and  toot  races  arranged  expressly 
for  them,  and  in  addition  there  will  be  a  cowboy  fiesta 
in  which  broncho  busting,  roping  and  tying  steers. 
riding  wild  steers  and  other  features  of  tin:-  life  of 
the  plains  will  be  shown. 

Several  Eastern  breeders  of  fine  horses  and  cattle 
who  are  booked  to  show  at  the  Lewis  and  Clark 
Exposition  have,  engaged  stall  accommodations  ■  at 
the  park,  and  will  vie  with  California  breeders  for 
premiums  in  their  respective  classes.  Among  the 
Easterners  are  McLaughlin  Bros.,  of  Kansas  City; 
the'  LaFayette.  Stock  Farm  of  LaFayette,  Ind.,  and 
Crouch  &  Son. 

It  is  no  mere  prediction — it  is  a  certainty— that 
the  pavilion  will  make  a  better  showing  that  it  has 
in  a  double  decade.  The  Native  Sons  hold  their  cele- 
bration in  connection  with  the  State  Fair,  and  they 
have  taken  an  active  interest  in  securing  county 
displays. 

The  poultry  show  will  be  the  biggest  ever  made 
under  the  State's  patronage,  no  less  than  1500 -entries 
of  fine  fowl  being  assured  at  the  present  time.  Henry 
Berrar,  of  San  Jose,  will  be  the  judge  in  this  depart- 
ment, a  guarantee  of  fair  and  impartial  treatment 
of  all  exhibitors. 

Final  payments  have  just  been  made  in  the  Occi- 
dent Stake,  which  is  this  year  worth  $3880,  as  fol-

NO   RACING   AT   HONOLULU. 


Breeder  and- Sportsman:  Racing  in  Honolulu  is  as 
dead  as  a  doornail.  For  the  first  time  in  over  a  quar- 
ter of  a  century,  June  11th.  the  great  Hawaiian  holi- 
oay  "^vas  suffered  to  pass  without  a'  meeting..  The 
local  Jockey  Club  is  in  a  moribund  condition,  and  the 
race-track  has  been  allowed  to  go-to  rack  and  ruin. 
The  adjacent  stabling  has  all  been  torn  down. 

Just  how  long  this  condition  of  things  will  be  al- 
lowed to  prevail  is  uncertain.  There  are  plenty  of 
horses  hereabouts  but  no  one"  to  keep  racing  enthusi- 
ashi  to  the  point  necessary  to  produce  good  racing. 
A  reorganization  of  the  Jockey  Club  and  the  appoint- 
ing of  energetic  men  as  officers  as  well  as  men  who 
know  something  of  the  racing  gafwe  as  carried  on  in 
enlightened  communities,  would  probably  prove  the 
salvation  of  the  sport  on  this  island  where  racing, 
both  running  and  to  harness,  has  flourished  from 
time   immemorial. 

There  is  some  talk  of  the  building  of  a  new  half- 
mile  track  on  the  outskirts  of  the  city,  but  no  defin- 
ite move  has  been  made  in  the  matter  as  yet. 

At  Hilo  on  the  contrary  the  sport  thrives  and  the 
Hilo  Jockey  Club  has  just  been  successfully  Incor- 
porated. They  -  held  a  meeting  on  July  Fourth  in 
which  many  of  the  equine  stars  of  the  islands  par- 
ticipated. The  Fretter  was  entered  but  broke  down. 
He  may  never  race  again.  Old  Antidote,  by  Senator 
Stanford-Poison,  and  the  equine  idol  of  the  territory, 
won  a  six-furlong  race.  The  winner  is  nineteen  years 
old  and  won  races  here  in  the  days  of  the  monarchy.

The  celebration  to  be  held  at  Sacramento  during 
fair  week  by  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West,  Is 
meeting  with  hearty  support.  Fifteen  counties  have 
already  appropriated  money  for  an  exhibit  of  their 
resources  at  the  Pavilion.  These  exhibits  will  be 
under  the  management  of  the  Native  Sons  from  the 
respective  counties,  and  as  a  $500  prize  is  to  be 
awarded  the  best  exhibit,  keen  rivalry  has  already 
developed  and  a  splendid  showing' of  the  State's  pro- 
ducts is  assured.

JOTTINGS.  |g| 


CALIFORNIA  HORSEMEN  have  for  the  past  few 
years  been  bewailing  the  fact  that  so  few  race  meet- 
ings are  held  in  this  State  that  they  hardly  rise  to 
the  dig  circuit,   but   when    they  read   of  the 

Mue  \  ■    over  East  by  which  several  of  the 

-..--  have  of  necessity  been  de- 
clared  oil  they  will  take  heart  of  grace  and  come  to 
the  cot  Ifornia  is  not 

half  as  might   be.     There   is   no   Slate  law 

which  prohibits  betting  on  speed  contests. 
S  te  Fairs,  and  the  probability  is  this 
exception  will  be  repealed  at  the  next  session  of  the 
ture.  There  was  a  time  when  thirty  or  forty 
of  ihe  half  a  hundred  agricultural  districts  into 
which  this  St;:te  is  divided  could  be  depended  upon 
to  give  a  fair  every  year  and  at  these  fairs  a  program 
of  harness  racing  was  always  provided  for  the  amuse- 
ment of  the  public,  and  the  encouragement  of  harness 
breeding.  When,  in  an  effort  to  reduce  ex- 
penses, a  couple  of  our  governors  in  recent  years 
refused  to  affix  their  signatures  to  the  bills  appro- 
priating money  for  these  district  fair?,  they  struck 
a  blow  at  the  breeding  and  racing  of  harness  horses 
in  California  which  has  been  felt  from  one  end  of 
the  State  to  the  other.  The  blow  was  an  unfair  one, 
delivered  below  the  belt,  but  it  did  not  have  sufficient 
force  to  knock  harness  racing  out  completely,  and 
there  have  been  quite  a  number  of  good  meetings 
held  here  each  year  since  without  the  aid  of  fairs 
or  State  appropriations.  The  only  real  danger  to 
harness  racing  in  California  at  the  present  time  is 
the  apathy  of  breeders  and  owners.  They  are  the 
ones  to  organize  and  see  that  meetings  are  given,  as 
they  are  the  persons  who  profit  most  by  them.  As 
has  been  stated  before  in  this  department  there  is 
nothing  to  prevent  a  first-class  circuit  being  held  in 
California  every  year  except  the  lethargy  of  those 
most  Interested. 


harmless  sport  of  wagering  on  the  result  of  races 
during  certain  weeks  of  the  year.  That  long  con- 
tinued meetings  are  detrimental  to  any  sport  cannot 
be  denied,  but  because  a  few  act  the  glutton  is  no 
reason  why  all  should  be  made  to  abstain  entirely. 
If  the  Grand  Circuit  continues  and  vacancies  are  filled 
by  associations  that  keep  up  the  tone  and  class  which 
has  been  given  racing  in  those  towns  where  wagers 
on  results  have  been  made  unlawful,  the  loss  caused 
by  the  blue  laws  of  Ohio,  Massachusetts  and  other 
States  will  not  fall  on  horsemen  in  general,  but  only 
upon  those  mentioned  and  people  engaged  in  the 
breeding  and  racing  of  trotters  will  simply  have  to 
change  their  habitation,  or  organize  to  have  these 
puritanical  laws  repealed.  A  horseman's  love  of  home 
is  as  strong  as  the  next  man's  and  therefore  the 
probability  is  that  a  united  effort  will  be  made  this 
winter  to  legalize  speed  contests  and  the  betting 
thereon  by  such  wise  and  rational  laws  as  will  meet 
the  approbation  of  everybody  except  the  alleged  pur- 
ists and  the  professional  gamblers.  As  it  is  these 
two  classes  are  the  upper  and  nether  mill  stones  under 
which  the  horse  breeding  industry  and  the  sport  of 
harness  racing  are  being  crushed. 


The  three-year-old  race  at  Santa  Rosa  to-day, 
In  which  the  three-year-old  trotters  will  compete  for 
the  big  end  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  Stake,  should 
prove  a  high  class  contest,  as  the  four  money  win- 
ners will,  after  the  race  is  over,  be  ranked  with  the 
best  three-year-old  trotters  of  the  year  in  the  entire 
country.  Starting  payments  were  made  on  seven, 
and  of  these  two  are  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16^4,  and 
one  each  by  Zolock  2:05*4,  Zombro  2:11,  McKinney 
2.1114,  Iran  Alto  2:12*4  and  Athadon  2:27.  All  these 
sires  are  producers  of  extreme  trotting  speed.  Nut- 
wood Wilkes  sired  John  A  McKerron  2:04*«,  McKin- 
ney sired  Sweet  Marie  2:04a4.  Zombro  is  the  sire  of 
Zephyr  2:11.  Zolock  is  the  sire  of  Ambush,  whose 
three-year-old  record  is  2:1,4%,  Athadon  sired  Atha- 
nio  2:10.  and  Iran  Alto  is  the  sire  of  two  in  the  2:15 
list.  All  of  these  stallions,  with  the  exception  of 
McKinney.  are  still  owned  in  California,  and  Zolock 
and  Zombro  are  the  sons  of  that  great  sire.  So  it 
will  be  seen  that  on  their  sires'  side  the  three-year- 
olds  to  start  in  this  stake  are  about  as  richly  bred 
as  colts  to  be  found  anywhere,  while  the  pedigrees  of 
the  dams  are  first  class  in  every  case.  Ambush, 
whose  record  of  2:14%,  made  this  year,  has  put  him 
in  the  lime  light,  will  probably  start  favorite,  but 
the  race  is  not  his  until  he  wins  it  and  several  horse- 
men who  are  good  patrons  of  the  pool  box  will  be 
there  to  back  other  starters  against  him  singly  or  in 
"the  field."'  It  is  said  that  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson's  good 
colt  North  Star,  that  won  the  first  heat  of  the  two- 
year-old  division  last  year  in  2:24,  Is  showing  won- 
derful speed  this  year,  and  last  week  worked  a  heat 
in  2:15  at  Santa  Rosa,  and  after  the  usual  twenty 
minutes'  rest,  trotted  the  next  mile  in  2:13^.  Belle- 
mont  2.20%,  the  Zombro  filly  that  won  the  two-year- 
old  event  In  1904,  is  working  nicely  and  will  carry  a 
good  deal  of  money  in  spite  of  the  fast  work  that  has 
been  done  by  North  Star  and  Ambush,  while  Kenneth 
C,  with  a  record  of  2:17  made  at  Los  Angeles  last 
month,  and  Elma  S.,  who  was  a  good  third  when 
Ambush  trotted  in  2:14*4,  are  both  said  to  be  ready 
to  trot  a  good  hard  race  for  first  money  with  a  good 
chance  of  getting  some  part  of  the  stake.  Still 
Better  is  an  unknown  quantity  so  far.  and  while  she 
has  great  speed  inheritance,  being  by  Iran  Alto  2:12*4, 
out  of  Much  l>u.-r  2:04*4,  she  will  not  be  favorite. 
although  she  may  fool  the  talent  when  the  word  is 
given.  As  a  m. titer  of  interest  at  this  time  I  give 
below  the  summary  of  the  two-year-old  division  of 
this  stake  as  it   was  trotted  last   year  :it  San  Jose:

majority  of   State    Legislatures   that   will    permit   the 


imported  from  the  East  for  show  purposes.  Mrs. 
WilKam.D.  Honeyman  will  exhibit  her  Kelbin  Grove 
herd  of  Ayrshires,  one  of  the  finest  in  America.  Cana- 
dian stockmen  have  taken  a  lively  interest  in  the 
stock  show  of  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition  and 
both  beef  and  dairy  breeds  from  various  Canadian 
points  will  be  represented. 

The  American  Goat  Association,  which"  for  several 
years  has  held  its  exhibitions  in  Kansas  City,  will 
hold  the  first  goat'  show  ever  conducted  in  the  West, 
and  prospects  are  that  it  will  be  superior  in  every 
way  to  former  exhibitions  at  the  American  Royal 
Show  in  Kansas  City. "  Eastern  sheepraisers  are  ex- 
pected to  enter  for  prizes,  and  several  prominent 
Western  owners  already  have  listed  their  stock. 
Among  the  latter  are  the  Baldwin  Sheep  &  Land 
Company  of  Hay  Creek,  Or.:  R.  A.  Jackson,  Dayton, 
Wash.;  John  B.  Stump  and  J.  H  Hawley,  Monmouth,

BIG    STOCK    SHOW    IN    SEPTEMBER. 

PORTLAND,  Aug.  17. — "You  can  say  without  hesi- 
tation that  the  stock  show  at  the  Lewis  and  Clark 
Exposition  will  be  a  good  one,"  is  the  way  M.  D. 
"Wisdom,  superintendent  of  livestock  for  the  Western 
World's  Fair,  explains  the  situation  with  regard  to 
his  department.  "It  will  be  the  biggest  show  ever 
held  in  the  West,"  Mr.  Wisdom  adds,  "and  will  com- 
pare favorably  writh  the  other  big  shows  of  the  kind 
which  have  been  held  in  connection  with  exposi- 
tions." 

The  stock  show  dates  are  from  September  19  to  29, 
inclusive.  In  the  neighborhood  of  $50,000  in  prize 
money  is  now  available  as  an  incentive  to  stockmen 
to  attend  the  show  and  exhibit  their  stock  at  the  Ex- 
position, but  this,  according  to  Mr.  Wisdom,  is  not 
responsible  for  the  very  unusual  interest  which  breed- 
ers and  dealers  all  over  the  United  States  have  taken 
in  it.  The  big  dealers  are  going  to  exhibit  at  Port- 
land because  they  believe  that  the  stock  business  in 
the  Pacific  Northwest  has  a  great  future,  and  that  no 
better  opportunity  than  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposi- 
tion could  be  found  for  introducing  their  breeds  to  the 
western  market.  Several  firms  are  making  arrange- 
ments to  open  branch  houses  in  the  Pacific  North- 
west, and  already  one.  McLoughlin  Brothers  of  Kansas 
City,  Mo.,  and  Columbia,  O.,  has  decided  to  establish 
a  branch   in   Portland. 

McLoughlin  Brothers  have  written  Mr.  Wisdom  that 
the  showing  of  horses  which  they  will  make  will 
be  the  finest  ever  made  by  any  firm  anywhere.  They 
have  purchased  fifty  head  of  French  Percherons  and 
Coach  horses  from  the  continental  prize-winners,  and 
these  are  now  en  route  These  horses  have  never 
been  exhibited  before.  They  will  be  exhibited  at  the 
International  Stock  Show  in  Chicago  and  the  Ameri- 
can Royal  Stock  Show  at  Kansas  City  before  being 
brought  on  to  Portland.  J.  Crouch  &  Sons  of  Lafay- 
ette, Ind„  will  enter  fifty  horses  to  compete  with  those 
of  McLoughlin  Brothers. 

Galbreth  Brothers  of  Janesville,  Wis.,  have  on  the 
way  an  importation  of  thirty  head  of  Clydesdale  and 
Suffolk  Punch  horses,  never  before  exhibited,  and  A. 
C.  Ruby  &  Co.  of  Pendleton,  Or.,  have  imported  a  lot 
for  exhibition  at  the  fair.  Luke  M.  Emerson  of  Bowl- 
ing Green,  Mo.,  who  is  the  biggest  breeder  of  fine 
jacks  in  the  world,  will  bring  thirty  big  jacks  to 
Portland.  Included  in  this  number  are  two  which 
stand  seventeen  hands  high  and  weigh  more  than  a 
ton  each. 

Fine  Cattle  Coming. 
W.  S.  Skinner,  superintendent  of  the  National  Live 
Stock  Show  in  Chicago,  is  getting  together  a  train- 
load  of  Shorthorns,  Hereford,  Pole  Angus  and  Gallo- 
way breeds  for  exhibition  at  the  fair.  The  cattle 
will  be  shown  at  the  Minnesota  Fair,  held  at  Hamline, 
and  will  stop  en  route  for  short  visits  at  such  points 
as  Helena,  Mont.,  and  Spokane,  Wash.  The  _  State  of 
Missouri  has  appropriated  $5000  for  special  premiums 
to  be  awarded  the  Missouri  stock  making  the  best 
showing  at  the  fair,  and  other  influences  assure  the 
success   of   this   department. 

Of  the  Shorthorn  stock  exhibitors,  several  are  from 
the  West.  These  include  Howell  W.  Peele  of  Spokane, 
whose  herd  won  on  the  North  Pacific  circuit  last  year; 
Jay  Greaves  of  the  same  place,  who  will  show  two 
herds;  W.  O.  Miner  of  Heppner,  Or.,  and  Charles  E 
Ladd  of  Portland,  whose  herd  won  first  prize  at  the 
St.  Louis  show  last  year.  J.  H.  Glide  &  Son  of  Sacra- 
mento, who  bought  the  famous  Ohio  herd  of  D.  R. 
Hannah,  will  exhibit  two  herds,  and  Rush  &  Pierce 
of  Suisun,  Cal..  have  entered  a  herd  purchased  in  the 
East;  E.  D.  Mitchell  of  Clinton,  Mo.,  owner  of  the 
famous  Tebo  herd,  with  Choice  Good  at  the  head,  also 
has  applied  for  stall  room  E.  W.  Bowen  of  Delphi, 
Ind.,  has  entered  seven  head  which  includes  Fair 
Queen,  the  champion  of  all  fairs. 

Some  Oregon  Exhibitors. 
Of  the  owners  of  dairy  breeds,  W.  D.  Ladd  of  Port- 
land, owner  of  the  Hazel  Fern  herd,  will  be  an  im- 
portant contestant.  Mr.  Ladd's  Loretta  D.  took  first 
prize  in  the  dairy  class  at  St.  Louis.  Other  Oregon 
exhibitors  of  Jerseys  who  are  entered  are  D.  H.  Loo- 
ney  of  Jefferson,  Harry  West  of  Scappoose,  Atkinson 
Bros,  of  Newberg.  and  E  C.  Martin  of  Elgin.  Gen- 
eral William  R.  Shafter  of  San  Francisco  has  also 
entered    his   Jerseys. 

Charles  E.  Pierce  of  Stockton,  Cal.,  who  owns  by 
far  the  finest  herd  of  Holsteins  in  the  world,  will 
show  forty  head  which  he  has  imported  direct  from 
Holland.  R.  M.  Hotaling  of  San  Francisco  also  has 
entered  two  herds  of  Holsteins.  and  P.  A.  Frakes  of 
Scappoose  is  fitting  up  two  herds.  J.  L.  Smith  of  the 
Hazel  wood  Company.  Spokane.  Wash,  will  exhibit 
two  herds  from  the  seventy  head  of  cattle  which  he 


THE    E.   C.    PEART   SALE. 


The  following  account  of  the  auction  sale  last 
week  of  horses  owned  by  E.  C-  Peart  of  Colusa  is  from 
the  Herald  of  that  .city: 

E.  C.  Feart's  stock  sale  on  Wednesday  was  not  a 
success  from  a  financial  point  of  view.  Only  three 
of  the  blooded  animals  were  sold,  and  they  brought 
ridiculously  low  prices. 

Diawood,  the  famous  pacing  stallion,  with  a  record 
of  2.11,  was  started  at  $500,  but  there  was  no  raise 
and  he  "was  not   sold. 

Electro,  a  two-year-old  stallion,  and  Buster  Brown, 
a  three-year-old  gelding  were  started  at  $400  and  $300 
respectively,  but  there  was  no  raise  and  they  were 
not  sold. 

Dialto,  a  two-year-old  filly,  was  sold  to  C.  A. 
Averdson  for  $100,  but  after  the  sale  Mr.  Peart  bought 
her  back  for  $110,  Averdson  making  $10  on  the  trans- 
action. 

Chief,  a  bay  two-year-old  gelding,  was  started  at 
$150,  but  as  there  was  no  raise,  he  was  not  sold. 

Trilby,  a  sorrel  three-year-old  mare,  was  sold  to 
D.  B.  George,  of  Grimes,  for  $135,  and  Sutterett,  a  bay 
yearling  gelding,  was  sold  to  George  L.  Saunders,  of 
Grand   Island   for   $77.50. 

Buchu,  a  chestnut  mare,  bred  in  old  Kentucky,  was 
sold  to  C.  E  King,  of  Venado,  for  $95  and  bought 
back  by  Mr.  Peart  for  $110,  leaving  Mr.  King  $15  to 
the  good. 

AY.  R.  Merrill  bought  White  Stocking  for  $100  and 
sold  her  back  to  Mr.  Peart  for  $105.  Mr.  Merrill  also 
bought  a  sucking  colt  and  sold  it  back  at  a  premium. 

E.  A.  Williams,  of  Colusa,  bought  a  sucking  colt 
for  $32,  and  W.  Jeffrey  bought  a  high  wheel  suiky 
for   $16. 


GRAND    CIRCUIT    RACING. 


The  excellent  mile  track  at  Hudson  River  Driving 
Park,  Poughkeepsie,  has  been  the  scene  of  Grand 
Circuit  racing  this  week,  the  Poughkeepsie  association 
taking  the  date  made  vacant  by  Empire  Track  at 
New  York  dropping  out.  The  three  heat  plan  was 
adopted  here,  and  the  racing  of  the  first  day  was  very 
satisfactory. 

The  track  trotting  record  in  a  race  of  2:16*4,  which 
was  held  by  Little  Dick,  was  beaten  in  the  first  heat 
of  the  2:10  trot  by  Kid  Shay,  who  made  the  mile  in 
2:09%.  The  two  succeeding  heats  in  this  event  were 
taken  by  Kid  Shay  in  2:10%  and  2:09^-  These  make 
the  three  fastest  heats  in  a  race  ever  trotted  here. 
Helen  Norte  was  second  in  the  first  two  heats  of  this 
race,  showing  much  improvement  in  form  over  her 
earlier  starts  this  season  and  a  record  below  2:10  is 
expected  for  her  later. 

The  2:10  trot  went  to  the  bay  mare  Deleree  In 
straight  heats,  the  first  of  which  was  in  2:09^,  giving 
the  stallion  Del  March  his  first  2:10  trotter. 

Allerson  was  picked  by  the  talent  to  win  the  2:08 
pace,  but  after  taking  the  first  heat  by  beating  Miss 
Willamont  by  half  a  head  after  an  inspiring  struggle 
for  300  yards  down  to  the  wire,  finishing  the  mile  in 
2:06.  he  was  unable  to  repeat  the  performance.  Two 
succeeding  heats  were  won  by  Ethel  Mc  in.  slower 
time,  after  a  whirlwind  finish.  Henry  Helman  man- 
aged to  land  Oregon  Maid  second  in  the  second  heat, 
thereby  getting  a  share  of  the  money,  and  the  Cali- 
fornia bred  pacer  Irish  2:0S%  by  Monterey,  also  won 
a  small  slice  by  finishing  third  in  the  last  heat.  The

OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINIONS,     fijj 


Western  Horseman:  The  trotting  horse  business 
of  the  United  States  is  certainly  of  some  importance, 
■with  more  than  fifty  million  dollars  invested,  and 
thousands  of  the  best  men  in  the  country  interested. 
The  business  is  on  a  "safe  and  sane"  basis,  and 
there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  it  will  continue 
to  prosper  and  grow.  The  men  connected  with  the 
industry  are  the  men  who  "do  things,"  not  only  in 
the  horse  business,  but  in  all  lines  of  human  en- 
deavor. The  business  is  a  clean  and  respectable  one, 
and  is  conducted  along  decent  and  honorable  lines, 
and  it  should  receive  fair  treatment  at  the  hands 
■of  both  the  state  and  national  governments.  If  the 
mayor  of  any  city  or  the  governor  of  any  state  would 
attempt  to  belittle  any  manufacturing  or  business 
industry,  and  besmirch  the  good  name  and  character 
of  the  men  engaged  in  these  industries,  the  men  en- 
gaged in  those  particular  industries  would  rebel  and 
refuse  to  support  the  official  so  offending.  The  public 
would  applaud  such  action  and  regard  it  as  justi- 
fiable  and   right. 

Through  ignorance  or  prejudice,  it  is  hard  to  tell 
which,  there  has  grown  up  a  feeling  among  a  certain 
class  that  horse  racing  is  a  very  evil  thing,  and  that 
the  men  engaged  in  it  are  of  bad  character.  ,The 
Western  Horseman"  has  grown  tired  of  answering 
these  attacks.  They  are  so  uncalled  for,  untruthful 
and  malicious  that  they  fall  flat  of  their  own  weight. 
The  trotting  horsemen  of  this  country  need  no  de- 
fense, in  so  far  as  their  moral  character  is  concerned. 
If  the  names  of  the  men  engaged  in  the  trotting 
horse  business  in  the  United  States  were  published 
the  so-called  reformers  would,  no  doubt,  be  amazed 
to  learn  the  class  of  men  they  have  been  habitually 
abusing  and  misrepresenting.  We  do  not  all  think  and 
believe  alike,  and  half  the  pleasure  of  living  would 
be  taken  away  if  we  did,  but  no  one  class  of  people 
will  ever  be  allowed  to  force  their  opinion  on  all  of 
the  others.  One  of  the  most  sacred  of  all  human 
rights  is  the  right  to  our  individual  opinions,  but  we 
have  no  right  to  denounce  and  persecute  our  fellows 
because  they  differ  in  opinion  with  us.  Many  thou- 
sands of  good  citizens  believe  that  they  have  a  right 
to  race  horses  and  bet  on  them,  too,  and  if  by  racing 
horses  and  wagering  money  on  them  they  do  not 
scandalize  the  community  or  interfere  with  the  rights 
of  their  neighbors,  they  should  be  allowed  to  do  so. 
There  are  are  certain  religious  bodies  who  practice 
certain  rites  and  preach  certain  doctrines  that  we  do 
not  believe  in,  but  that  is  no  reason  why  we  should 
interfere  or  attempt  to  stop  them.  No  man  has  a 
right  to  stand  his  neighbor  up  in  a  corner  and  ram 
his  particular  i  leas  regarding  politics,  temperance, 
religion  or  any  other  thing  down  his  throat.  Yet  that 
is  just  exactly  what  a  lot  of  people  are  trying  to  dp 
with  the  trotting  horse  people,  and  when  they  object 
to  the  dose  they  are  told  that  it  is  the  law,  and  they 
must  submit. 

The  trotting  horsemen  of  this  country  are  law- 
abiding  citizens,  and  will  abide  by  the  law  always, 
I  but  if  the  laws  are  unjust  and  unreasonable  they 
must  and  will  demand  their  repeal.  Nothing  will 
bring  about  the  repeal  of  unjust  and  bad  laws  quicker 
than  an  attempt  to  enforce  them.  There  are  a  lot 
of  public  officials  who  seem  to  think  that  to  be  good 
officials  they  must  pose  as  sort  of  police  officials. 
They  spend  all  of  their  time  spying  around  trying  to 
catch  some  poor  devil  taking  a  drink  after  midnight 
or  fishing  on  Sunday.  This  kind  of  officials  class  the 
racing  of  trotters  as  a  great  evil,  and  will  listen  only 
to  one  side  of  the  question. 

What  is  needed  in  this  country  is  officials  big 
enough  and  broad  enough  to  investigate  the  trotting 
horse  business  in  all  of  its  branches;  officials  who 
will  not  condemn  the  trotting  horse  and  the  men 
who  are  racing  him  on  the  testimony  of  people  who 
are  blinded  by  prejudice  and  ignorant  of  the  aims 
and  objects  of  the  trotting  horsemen;  officials  who 
\  are  liberal-minded  enough  to  see  that  all  of  the 
decency  and  morality  in  the  world  is  not  centered  in 
the  pulpit;  officials  fair-minded  enough  to  know  that 
there  are  good  men  in  the  pulpit,  on  the  race  track, 
:  in  fact,  in  all  walks  of  life.  With  this  class  of  officials 
in  office  the  trotting  horse  people  will  have  nothing 
to  fear,  and  when  the  books  are  balanced  the  horse- 
men will  be  able  to  show  as  clean  a  page  as  the  men 
I  in  any  other  walk  of  life.  Trotting  horse  people  only 
ask  for  a  square  deal  at  the  hands  of  public  officials, 
and  some  day  they  will  demand  it.  Trotting  horse- 
men do  not  ask  for  special  privileges;  they  only  ask 
that  they  be  not  condemned  on  the  testimony  of 
fanatics  and  prejudiced  persons.  The  aim  and  object 
of  the  trotting  horse  people  has  been  to  elevate  the 
sport  of  racing  horses  and  provide  entertainment 
clean  and  wholesome  enough  to  attract  and  please 
the  best  class  of  people  in  each  community. 


necessary  loss  incidental  to  a  meeting  devoid  of  spec- 
ulation. Admitting  for  sake  of  argument  that  they 
would  have  lost  as  they  estimated,  $7500,  is  not  the 
total  loss  to  owners  and  trainers,  aggregating  some 
$50,000,  to  be  considered?  Is  not  the  good-will  of 
horsemen  and  the  confidence  in  an  association  to 
fulfil  its  contracts  an  asset  of  value? 

No  association  has  the  moral  right,  nor  the  legal 
right,  to  break  its  contracts  and  screen  itself  behind 
the  plea  of  unfortunate  and  untimely  police  inter- 
ference. When  an  owner  or  trainer  enters  a  horse 
to  compete,  he  enters  him  to  race  and  the  compact 
entered  into  between  horsemen  and  track  managers 
does  not  recognize  the  possibility  or  impossibility  of 
pool  selling.  One  of  the  most  clever  and  widely 
known  track  managers  in  America,  in  conversation 
with  me  to-day  said  that,  being  on  the  ground,  and 
having  estimated  the  cost  of  the  Cleveland  meeting, 
exclusive  of  track  work  and  the  salary  of  the  secre- 
tary, he  could  not  see  wherein  the  meeting  could 
not  have  been  given  without  incurring  a  loss  of 
more  than  $1000. 

The  classes  were  large,  privileges  well  disposed  of 
and  local  interest  in  the  light-harness  racing  at  its 
highest  pitch,  after  an  interim  of  a  year.  But  there 
are  so  many  "wheels  within  wheels"  here  in  Ohio 
that  one  is  bewildered  in  the  political  "maze."  It  is  J 
said  on  fairly  good  authority  that  a  pretty  play  of 
politics  was  averted  only  by  Mayor  Johnson's  action, 
for  had  he  allowed  the  pool  selling.  Governor  Her- 
rick,  who  allows  gambling  at  seventy-seven  other 
tracks  in  Ohio,  would  have  removed  Mayor  Johnson 
under  a  statutory  law  which  vests  the  power  of  re- 
moval in  the  governor  in  case  of  neglect  of  duty. 
That,  as  a  sample  of  inconsistent  and  debased  poli- 
tics, would  sicken  one  of  the  whole  matter. 


Trotter  and  Pacer:  There  is*nly  one  chance  for 
an  argument  as  to  the  decision  of  the  judges  at 
Saugus  who  sent  a  horse  to  the  stable  last  week 
on  account  of  fouling  another  horse,  and  that  is  upon 
the  question  of  the  driver's  guilt  or  innocence.  If  it 
is  clear  that  the  driver  was  culpable  he  was  not  too 
severely  penalized,  and  if  it  can  be  shown  that  his 
offense  was  intentional,  he  did  not  receive  one-half 
what  he  deserved.  There  is  nothing  in  the  whole 
scale  of  turf  misdemeanors,  from  "ringing"  to  laying 
up  heats,  that  is  so  detestable  as  foul  driving.  There 
are  not  many  drivers,  we  are  glad  to  believe,  who 
will  resort  to  the  practice  purposely  or  vindictively, 
but  there  is  a  large  class  who  are  so  money  crazy — 
so  madly  imbued  with  the  idea,  apparently,  that  their 
very  existence  depends  upon  the  heat  they  are  trying 
to  win — that  they  scruple  at  nothing  to  get  ahead, 
even  to  the  point  of  running  over  anybody  who  is 
in  front  of  them.  Many  a  driver  has  sacrificed  his 
life  or  has  endured  long  and  painful  confinement  at 
the  hands  of  these  reckless  hotheads,  and  no  penalty 
that  will  stop  them  can  be  said  to  be  too  severe. 
"":ere  are  some  well-known  drivers  who  are  fncor- 
rigable  in  this  respect,  for  whom  a  few  years*  suspen- 
sion might  be  salutary,  as  well  as  a  wise  precaution 
for  the  safety  of  those  who  are  compelled  to  drive 
against  them. 


W.  L.  Duntley  in  American  Horse  Breeder.  That 
■  arch  enemy  of  honest  government,  "petty  politics," 
blighted  the  enthusiasm  of  grand  circuit  horsemen 
and  local  habitues  on  Monday,  when  Mayor  Tom 
Johnson  issued  his  now  nationally  known  edict  against 
pool  selling  at  the  Glenville  track.  The  political 
aspects  of  the  situation  have  been  so  freely  dis- 
cussed in  the  press,  that  the  matter  has  worn  itself 
out,  and  long  ere  this  is  read  the  Phenix-like  horse- 
;  men  are  battling  for  supremacy  on  another  race 
course. 

There  is  one  phase  of  the  action  of  the  Cleveland 
Driving  Park  Company,  however,  which  has  not  been 
!  presented  and  that  is  the  situation  from  the  view 
point  of  the  owner  and  trainer.  When  the  Cleveland 
management  declared  the  meeting  off,  it  was  publicly 
announced  that  they  did  not  feel  like  incurring  the 


Harness  Gazette:  Within  the  past  30  days  some 
information  has  been  received  going  to  show  that  the 
carriage  industry  is  enjoying  its  full  quota  of  pros- 
perity. The  manufacturers  are  preparing  to  show 
their  new  designs  during  the  autumn  exhibits.  They 
have  been  stimulated  by  liberal  sales  to  develop  new 
features  of  attraction  and  novelties  in  construction 
which  the  users  of  carriages  are  constantly  calling 
for.  The  trend  in  the  carriage  industry  now  is  in 
the  direction  of  building  lighter  work  though  none 
the  less  durable  and  serviceable.  The  time  has  largely 
gone  by  for  the  old  style  heavy  carriages  though 
there  is  a  certain  reviving  demand  for  coaches  of 
the  tally-ho  order.  At  the  same  time  the  drift  is  in 
the  direction  of  light,  cheap,  attractive  and  sightly 
vehicles  which  can  be  sold  at  a  price  within  the 
reach  of  the  average  buyer.  The  carriage  plants  of 
the  country  have  been  pretty  busily  employed  during 
the  past  season,  and,  notwthstanding  there  have  been 
advances  in  most  materials  out  of  which  vehicles  are 
made,  there  has  been  no  apparent  reduction  in  the 
volume  of  business.  This  is  saying  a  good  deal  con- 
sidering the  extraordinary  inroads  that  have  been 
made  by  the  automobile.  The  reason  for  the  slight 
damage  done  is  that  many  of  those  who  use  auto- 
mobiles also  use  carriages.  Another  reason  is  that 
the  cheapness  of  light  carriages  has  broadened  the 
demand  for  them.  The  evidence  of  this  is  seen  in 
the  expansion  of  capacity  of  many  of  the  larger  car- 
riage building  plants.  The  opening  up  of  so  much 
new  territory  by  reason  of  railroad  construction  is 
stimulating  agriculture  and  inducing  the  building  up 
of  towns  and  villages  in  countries  which  have  here- 
tofore offered  very  little  if  any  attraction.  All  these 
things  point  to  a  healthy  growth  not  only  in  the  car- 
riage indusry  but  in  many  lines  which  find  vitality 
in  the  stream  of  wealth  produced  by  agriculture.  The 
industry  is  expanding  into  the  westward  and  south- 
westward  but  the  encouragement  is  not  very  strong 
because  of  the  facilities  afforded  to  eastern  manu- 
facturers to  ship  carloads  and  trainloads  of  vehicles 
at  a  comparatively  low  cost  into  all   sections. 


would  have  to  meet,  I  wrote  Mr.  Brown. that  I  did 
not  think  she  had  speed  enough  to  make  a  first-class  ■ 
race  horse,  and  I  would  not  advise  him  to  spend  any 
more  money  on  her,  and  that  he  had  better  come 
and  take  her  home,  and  if  he  would  let  me  know  when 
he  would  come  I  would  save  her  and  work  her  in 
his  presence.  He  notified  me  of  the  time  he  would 
call  and  at  the  appointed  time  he  came,  and  I  had 
her  hitched  up,  shod  and  harnessed  in  exactly  the 
same  way  she  had  always  been  during  the  several 
months  I  had  been  training  her.  After  warming  her 
up  I  commenced  to  show  her  speed  to  Mr.  Brown. 
She  seemed  to  take  in  the  situation  at  once  and  in- 
stead of  pacing  along  at  a  2:45-  gait,  as  she  had 
always  done  before,  she  just  let  herself  out  and  paced 
a  quarter  at  a  2:20  gait;  and  when  she  showed  this 
burst  of  speed  I  was  so  astonished  that  I  nearly  fell 
out  of  the  sulky,  and  Mr.  Brown  returned  home  with- 
out her.  I  am  not  much  of  a  believer  in  telepathy, 
but  it  has  always  seemed  to  me  that  in  some  way 
she  knew  that  if  she  did  not  make  a  satisfactory 
showing  that  morning  she  would  probably  spend  her 
life  working  on  the  farm  instead  of  in  the  glamor 
of  the  race  track.  She  kept  improving  and  finally 
took  a  record  of  2:11%,  and  was  a  successful  race 
mare." 

Western  Horseman:  Let  not  our  esteemed  contem- 
porary, The  American  Sportsman,  grow  too  indignant 
over  the  action  of  Mayor  Tom  Johnson.  It  is  well 
to  bear  in  mind  that  Mayor  Tom  is  not  the  only 
Cleveland  man  to  make  a  "show"  of  himself.  Several 
days  before  the  opening  of  the  Cleveland  meeting  the 
president  of  the  Cleveland  association  came  out  with 
a  long  interview  in  a  leading  Cleveland  daily  publicly 
gloating  over  the  fact,  as  he  claimed,  that  Mayor 
Johnson  had  pledged  himself  to  violate  his  oath  of 
office,  set  aside  the  law  and  see  that  pool  selling  ad 
libitum  should  be  permitted  at  the  Cleveland  meet- 
ing. What  was  this  but  ruthlessly  putting  the  mayor 
in  the  "hole?"  Without  this  public  announcement 
the  mayor  could  have  kept  quiet,  been  "busy  with 
other  matters"  and  overlooked  the  law  violation.  But 
under  these  circumstances  what  could  any  self- re- 
specting man  do  but  dig  out  of  the  "hole"  in  which 
he  had  been  openly  and  publicly  placed?  Good  or 
bad,  law  is  law,  and  public  officials  are  sworn  to 
enforce  the  law,  and,  to  say  the  least,  it  is  in  bad 
taste  to  parade  before  the  public  the  fact  that  law 
is  not  only  going  to  be  violated,  but  that  the  public 
official  charged  with  law  enforcement  in  the  particular 
case  has  pledged  himself  to  see  that  violation  is  per- 
mitted. However  much  trotting  horsemen  believe  in 
pool  selling  at  trotting  meetings,  it  is  just  as  well, 
and  a  great  deal  better,  that  they  be  not  offensively 
bold  in  their  declarations  and  actions.  No  man,  be 
he  a  trotting  horseman  even,  or  an  officer  in  a  trot- 
ting association,  should  fail  to  be  considerate  of  the 
feelings  and  position,  of  others. 

Breeders'  Gazette:  Owing  to  the  refusal  of  the  au- 
thorities to  permit  poolselling  and  bookmaking  at  the 
Glenville  track  the  Cleveland  Grand  Circuit  meeting 
was  declared  off.  It  seems  to  have  been  a  sort  of 
eleventh  hour  declaration  on  the  part  of  the  mu- 
nicipal officials  and  the  natural  consequence  was  that 
much  loss,  annoyance  and  genuine  destruction  of  con- 
fidence ensued.  It  stands  to  reason  that  the  men  who 
have  made  the  Cleveland  association  what  it  is  today 
fully  understand  their  business,  and  if  they  had  not 
been  given  some  sort  of  assurances  that  the  specula- 
tion would  be  allowed  they  would  not  have  gone  to 
the  trouble  and  expense  of  opening  stakes  and  purses 
and  getting  ready  to  hold  the  meeting.  With  a  Grand 
Circuit  gathering  of  the  first  class  this  cannot  be 
done  short  of  several  thousand  dollars,  which  in  the 
event  of  the  meet  not  being  held  is  so  much  dead  loss. 
At  the  same  time  it  is  strange  that  such  wise  heads  as 
those  on  the  shoulders  of  the  men  who  manage  the 
Glenville  race  track  should  have  determined  to  take 
chances  in  face  of  the  knowledge  that  a  strong  ele- 
ment desired  the  stopping  of  the  betting,  indeed  of  the 
entire  meeting  itself  for  that  matter.  It  is  most  un- 
fortunate that  Cleveland  should  have  to  go  without 
its  Grand  Circuit  meeting  year  after  year,  but  so  long 
as  the  law  is  as  it  is  in  Ohio  there  seems  no  help 
for  it,  and  it  would  perhaps  be  better  for  all  hands  if 
no  further  attempt  would  be  made  to  evade  that  law. 
The  best  way  to  obtain  the  repeal  or  amendment  of  an 
obnoxious  law  is  to  see  to  its  strict  enforcement, 
and  if  the  people  of  the  Buckeye  State  find  it  to  be 
so  they  have  the  remedy  in  their  own  hands.  Noth- 
ing can  ever  be  done  by  conspiring  with  municipal 
officials  to  infringe  the  law. 


Ed  Geers  in  his  book  relates  the  following  about 
Ella  Brown,  dam  of  this  year's  Chamber  of  Commerce 
winner,  Walter  Direct:  "I  once  had.  a  very  remark- 
able incident  in  horse  training  occur.  A  gentleman  by 
the  name  of  Brown,  living  near  Lynnville.  Tenn., 
owned  the  bay  mare  Ella  Brown.  About  the  1st  of 
March,  1890,  he  sent  her  to  me  to  be  trained.  She 
had  the  reputation  of  being  quite  speedy  and  much 
was  expected  of  her.  I  worked  faithfully  with  her 
from  the  time  she  was  first  brought  to  me  until 
about  the  first  of  June,  and  the  best  I  could  do  with 
her  was  to  drive  her  a  mile  in  about  2:45.  As  that 
was    not    fast    enough    to    compete    with    horses    she 


George  Spear  offered  Harry  Stinson,  trainer  and 
driver  of  Sadie  Mac,  2:06%,  winner  of  the  2:12  trot 
at  Detroit,  $30,000  for  the  fast  daughter  of  Peter  the 
Great  at  Detroit  last  week  which  offer  was  promptly 
refused.  While  Spear  would  not  say  for  whom  he 
was  acting,  It  Is  almost  certain  that  he  was  acting 
for  E.  E.  Smathers,  former  owner  of  the  mare.  The 
Important  news  feature  in  connection  with  this  offer 
is  that  it  would  Indicate  that  Mr.  Smathers  Intends 
to  return  to  the  sport  of  light  harness  racing,  he 
having  a  few  days  since  announced  that  he  would 
retire  from  the  running  turf  and  that  his  entire  stable 
of  runners  would  be  sold  at  New  York  at  an  early 
date.  Mr.  Spear  also,  presumably  for  the  same  party, 
offered  $8,000  for  the  pony  pacer  Bonanza,  that  fin- 
ished second  to  Walter  Direct  In  the  Chamber  of

Seven  colts  and  fillies  have  been  paid  up  on  in 
the  Harness  Stallion  Stake  for  three-year-olds  to  be 
decided  at  the  State  Fair  this  year.  Five  are  trotters 
and  two  pacers.  • 


Four  days  of  racing  will  be  held  at  the  Hollister 
track,  commencing  September  27th.  Twelve  hundred 
dollars  in  purses,  will  be  distributed  among  the  trot- 
ters and  pacers. 


Some  of  the  trainers  and  owners  who  have  horses 
entered  in  the  races  for  the  last  day  of  the  State 
Fair  are  wishing  they  were  twins  so  they  could  be  in 
two  places  at  once.  The  Britt-Nelson  fight  comes  off 
at  Colma  on  that  day. 


The  Fasig- Tipton  Company,  New  York,  has  an- 
nounced dates  for  its  1905-1906  season  of  great  trot- 
ting horse  sales,  as  follows:  The  Old  Glory,  Madi- 
son Square  Garden,  New  York,  Nov.  20  to  Dec.  1: 
the  Midwinter  Auction,  Madison  Square  Garden,  Jan. 
30  to  Feb.  2;  the  Blue  Ribbon  Sale,  Cleveland,  O.,  in 
May — exact  dates  given  later;  the  Down  East  Auction, 
Boston,  Mass.,  in  May — exact  dates  later. 


September  4th  is  Labor  Day  and  the  San  Francisco 
Driving  Club  will  hold  a  day's  racing  at  Ingleside 
that  day.  Both  harness  and  running  events  will  be 
on  the  program  with  purses  consisting  of  entrance 
money  at   S10  each   with  $100  added. 

Another  McKinney  in  the  2:20  list.  At  the  matinee 
of  the  Syracuse  Driving  Club,  held  August  4th,  Electro 
Mack,  sold  to  eastern  parties  last  winter  by  Mr.  Byron 
Erkenbrecher  of  Los  Angeles,  won  his  race  in  two 
straight  heats,  the  time  being  2.23  and  2:17%  in  the 
last  heat. 


It  was  reported  in  one  of  the  San  Jose  papers  last 
week  that  Highfly.  the  speedy  three- year-old  pacer  by 
Nearest  2:22  was  driven  a  half  mile  in  1.00%  at  the 
San  Jose  track. 


Don't  forget  that  the  third  payment  of  $5  each  on 
foals  of  1005  entered  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity  No.  5, 
must  be  paid  on  or  before  September  1st.  This  stake 
has  a  guaranteed  value  of  $7000. 

The  free-ior-all  pace  at  the  State  Fair  failed  to 
All.  The  directors  have  tried  again  and  now  offer 
$600  for  a  2: OS  pace.  Entries  will  close  September 
1st,  the  day  before  the  fair  opens. 


Don't  ever  think  because  Adam  G.  was  beaten  the 
other  day  that  he  is  not  a  stayer.     He  is  as  game  as 
the  gamest,  but  like  Sweet  Marie  when  she  met  Tiv- 
a  lot  of  had   luck. 


There  will  be  no  regular  racing  program  at  the 
California  State  Fair  on  Monday.  September  4th,  but 
the  day  will  be  turned  over  to  Indian  pony  races  and 
broncho  busting  at  the  track.  About  300  Piutes  and 
Shoshones  from  Nevada  are  expected  to  take  part  in 
the  show. 


Nine  colts  and  fillies  have  had  starting  payments 
made  on  them  in  the  Occident  Stake.  The  stake  is 
worth  $3880  this  year,  of  which  60  per  cent,  or  $2328, 
will  go  to  the  winner. 


W.    H.    Lumsden's    three-year-old  filly    Bonalet    by 

Bonnie    imi..                      dam    Roblet  2:12    by    Robin, 

a  mile   in    -  .1   track  week 

last,  driven  by  her  trainer  Ed  Benyon. 


George  G.  trotted  a  great  race  when  he  finished 
second  to  Tiverton  and  beat  Sweet  Marie  in  two  heats 
of  the  free-for-all  at  Buffalo.  About  2:04  will  be 
opposite  his  name  by  the  cloBe  of  the  season. 


Golden  Gate,  William  Brown's  Bay  Bird  gelding, 
paces  in  hopples,  but  trots  without  them.  His  record 
this  year  at  the  trotting  gait  is  2.25  and  at  the  pacing 
gait  is  2:13%.  He  is  probably  the  only  horse  that 
was  ever  entered  in  both  pacing  and  trotting  events 
the  same  year. 


Quite  a  number  of  the  horses  at  Santa  Rosa  took 
severe  colds  on  arriving  at  the  track  owing  to  the 
sudden  change  from  the  hot  climate  of  the  San  Joa- 
quin valley  to  the  cool  weather  of  the  Sonoma  valley. 
Small  fields  have  been  the  result  in  many  of  the 
races   this   week. 


Between  rain  and  the  blue  laws,,  the  promoters  of 
harness  racing  are  having  a  hard  time  over  East. 
The  difference  between  track  managers  there  and  in 
California  is  that  the  Easterners  want  to  give  race 
meetings  and  can't  while  out  here  they  can  give 
them  but  will  not. 


Adam  G.'s  record  is  now  2:11%,  and  he  is  headed 
for  the  2:10  list.  If  all  the  trotters  by  McKinney 
that  have  the  ability  to  trot  in  2:10  were  sent  for  a 
record  this  year,  that  stallion  would  have  a  lead  as 
a  sire  of  2:10  trotters  that  no  other  stallion  could 
catch  up  with  in  years. 


Perhaps  those  turf  writers  who  have  been  preaching 
the  religion  of  short  races  have  had  their  arguments 
listened  to  by  the  officials  of  Ohio  and  Massachusetts. 
At  any  rate  the  races  have  been  mighty  short  in  those 
States  this  season,  and  the  grass  is  also  very  short 
there    for    harness    horses. 


Mr.  C.  K.  G.  Billings  will  sell  every  horse  in  his 
training  stable  now  except  Hontas  Crook  2:07%. 
Major  Delmar  and  Lou  Dillon.  The  pacing  stallion 
Hontas  Crook  2:07%  goes  down  in  the  country  where 
he  will  be  used  in  the  stud.  Mr.  Billings  is  very  much 
attached  to  Hontas  Crook  and  will  perhaps  never  part 
with  him. 


The  first  trotter  to  cover  a  mile  in  2.16  was  Joe 
Elliott,  and  he  was  owned  at  the  time  by  Robert 
Bonner.  The  time  was  made  on  Mystic  Park  track 
and  Jock  Bowen  drove  the  horse.  When  Bowen  dis- 
mounted Mr.  Bonner  placed  a  $500  bill  in  his  hand. 
Trainers  nowadays  would  consider  the  millenium  had 
arrived  were  they  to  get  half  of  $500  for  driving  a 
horse  in  2: 16. 


Chicago  will  have  some  real  trotting  races  in  the 
near  future.  Washington  Park  will,  on  August  31 
and  September  1,  be  the  scene  of  the  greatest  harness 
matinee  ever  held  in  that  city.  Fred  G.  Hartweli, 
secretary  of  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club,  has  re- 
ceived word  from  Harry  Devereux  of  the  Gentlemen1  s 
Driving  Club  of  Cleveland  that  it  had  been  voted  to 
transfer  the  "Cup  Day"  matinee  to  Chicago. 


The  mare  Directum  Lass  that  took  a  trotting  record 
of  2:09%  at  Readville  recently  is  by  Directum  2:05% 
and  is  his  third  2:10  performer.  She  is  out  of  the 
made  Madera  by  Dexter  Prince  that  Sam  Gamble  took 
to  the  Fasig  Tipton  sale  in  New  York  in  December, 
1S98,  for  Harry  E.  Wise  of  this  city.  Mr.  Wise  cata- 
logued Madera  as  by  Dexter  Prince,  dam  by  Peerless, 
a  son  of  Gen.  Knox  140,  and  with  a  bar  of  2:18%. 
which  she  got  by  winning  a  match  race  over  the 
Petaluma  track. 


Walter  Direct   2:05%    Is   on   the   retired   list   for   a 
while  owing  to  on  Injury  to  one  of  hU  hind  legs  re- 
ceived while  he  was  In  his  stall.     Mr    Geers  thinks 
II  be  all  right  with  a  few  weeks'  reBt, 


This  Journal  Is  constantly  In  receipt  of  Inquiries  in 
regard  to  companies  that  Insure  horses  There  arc, 
we  believe,  companies  In  the  Eastern  States  that  are 
engaged  In  this  business,  but  none  here  that  we 
know  of. 


Perennial  Dan  Patch  Is  In  good  shape  as  usual  and 
will  soon  be  showing  his  spoed  at  the  county  fairs. 
He  worked  a  mile  in  2:04  the  other  day,  and  will 
Btart  to  lower  his  record  at  the  big  Hamllne  fair, 
September  4th, 


If  all  the  horses  entered  in  the  free-for-all  trot  at 
the  State  Fair  should  start,  it  will  prove  one  of  the 
greatest  races  of  the  California  circuit  this  year. 
Those  entered  are  Charlie  T.  2:14%,  What  Is  It  2:14%,' 
Liege  2:12%,  Princess  2:14,  Dr.  Hammond  2.12%, 
Petigru  2:10%,  Pat  Rose  2:12%,  H.  D.  B.  2:13,  and 
Adam  G.  2:14%.  This  field  of  trotters  is  a  high  class 
one,  and  there  are  several  of  them  that  2:10  will  not 
stop  even  though  three  heats  should  be  trotted  that 
fast.  Such  a  field  of  horses  at  the  State  Fair  twenty 
years  ago  would  have  caused  pools  to  be  sold  like  hot 
cakes  at  $250  for  choice. 


North  Star  2:24,  whose  record  was  made  last  year 
when  he  won  the  first  heat  of  the  two-year-old  trot- 
ting division  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  at  San  Jose, 
will  be  a  starter  in  the  three-year-old  division  which 
will  be  decided  today  at  Santa  Rosa.  North  Star 
worked  a  heat  in  2:15  last  week  over  the  Santa 
Rosa  track,  and  came  back  the  next  one  in  2:13%, 
so  he  must  be  reckoned  with  in  today's  race,  even 
though  Ambush  2:14%,  Bellemont,  Athasham  and 
several  other  good  ones  are  in  the  race.  North  Star 
is  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16%,  his  dam  is  by  Eugeneer 
20,450,  and  his  grandam  produced  Dictatress  2:08% 
and  several  other  fast  ones.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  J. 
B.  Iverson  of  Salinas. 


To  modest  John  Howell,  trainer  and  driver  of  Tiv- 
erton, is  due  the  credit  of  making  the  great  geiding 
what  he  is.  says  an  Eastern  exchange.  Mr.  A.  D. 
Gwathmay,  his  present  owner,  bought  Tiverton  five 
years  ago  for  a  pole  mate  to  another  horse  that  he 
had.  That  season  he  allowed  Charley  Thompson  to 
start  him  in  a  couple  of  races  at  Empire  track,  and 
in  one  he  got  third  money,  and  in  the  other  he  fin- 
ished behind  the  money.  He  got  a  record  of  2:23% 
in  the  only  other  race  in  which  he  started  that  sea- 
son. He  got  to  carrying  his  head  around  to  one  side 
and  acting  altogether  so  badly  that  it  looked  at  one 
time  as  though  he  would  be  a  hopeless  case.  Howell 
took  him  in  hand,  invented  the  rig  that  he  now  car- 
ries on  his  head,  get  him  hung  up  right,  with  the 
result  that  everybody  can  now  see.  Howrell  is  a  very 
modest,  unpretentious,  most  likable  fellow,  and  he  is 
withal  a  hard  worker  and  conscientious.  While,  of 
course,  he  idolizes  his  gelding,  he  has  nothing  but 
words  of  praise  for  Sweet  Marie,  and  freely  accords 
her  the  first  place  among  great  trotters.  Though 
chagrined  at  the  defeat  of  his  gelding,  he  was  the 
first  to  congratulate  McDonald  on  his  victory. 


The  Jester,  son  of  Stam  B„  is  starting  at  meetings 
through  Iowa  and  Michigan,  and  while  he  has  not 
been  able  to  win  first  money  there,  has  trotted  some 
good  races.  At  Grand  Rapids,  August  11th,  he  was 
a  good  third  every  heat  in  the  2:35  class  trot,  which 
was  won  by  Allie  V.,  a  daughter  of  Directum  in 
2:15%,    2:16   and    2:16%. 


NEVADA  COUNTY  HORSE  NEWS. 


Nearly  every  day  an  owner  makes  the  statement 
while  trying  to  sell  a  horse  that  the  animal  actually 
won  a  heat  in  certain  time  but  the  timers  at  his 
request  hung  out  a  few  seconds  slower  to  keep  the 
horse  in  a  certain  class.  And  in  nine  cases  out  of 
ten  the  sale  is  not  made  because  the  owner's  state- 
ment is  not  believed,  but  would  have  been  made  if 
the  horse   had   the   record. 


Jacob  Brolllar,  who  drives  the  two-year-old  pacer 
Rockaway  2:15%,  has  written  to  the  Western  Horse- 
man that  although  the  distance  Is  great  he  believes 
the  owner  of  the  colt  will  send  him  to  Indiana  to 
meet  the  John  R.  Gentry  filly  in  that  proposed  match 
race,  providing  the  stake  money  Is  raised  to  $5000  a 
side.  Mr.  Rouse,  owner  of  the  filly,  has  wired  the 
editor  of  the  Western  Horseman  that  his  $5000  Is 
ready.    It  Is  now  "up  to  Jacob." 


Max  Berlin  of  Llvermore  last  week  purchased  from 
Thomas  Davln,  California  representative  of  the  Wll- 
lermoor  Stock  Farm  of  Illinois,  the  Imported  German 
coach  stallion  Willy,  and  the  Imported  Belgian  stallion 
Bernum  de  Letndette.  It  Is  the  general  opinion  of  all 
horsemen  who  have  seen  these  stallions  that  they 
are  as  good  as  any  ever  brought  to  this  State,  and 
the  horse  Interests  of  Llvermore  Valley  will  certainly 
be  benefited  by  Mr.  Berlin'B  purchase. 


Nevada  county  was  poorly  off  for  a  good  trotting 
stallion  this  year,  there  not  being  one  within  its 
boundaries  with  a  record.  Although  one  man  repre- 
sented his  horse  as  having  a  record  of  2:14%,  I  proved 
by  your  valuable  paper  that  he  had  no  record  at  all. 

H.  J.  Wright  has  in  my  stable  a  three-year-old 
stallion,  a  son  of  McNeer  out  of  the  dam  of  Lochni- 
var  2:20,  that  is  large  and  very  handsome. 

Thomas  Mulcahy  owns  a  two-year-old  stallion  by 
Billups  2:20%  out  of  a  Wilkes  mare  that  stands  15.3 
and   is  almost   the   counterpart   of  his  good   sire. 

T*r.  Bowman  is  the  owner  of  a  two-year-old  stal- 
lion by  Diablo  out  of  an  inbred  Wilkes  mare,  that  is 
also  in  my  stable.  This  colt  is  now  16.2  and  a  fine 
looker. 

Our  genial  County  Clerk  has  a  Billups  three-year- 
old  filly  that  can  trot  a  2:30  shot  and  Is  almost  un- 
trained at   that. 

John  Irving  owns  a  three-year-old  filly  by  Billups 
out  of  Inez  2:33  by  Sable  Wilkes  that  trots  very  fast 
for  the  few  times  driven  on  the  track. 

Atherton  Lord  has  a  Billups  three-year-old  that 
can  fairly  fly  at  the  squarest  of  trots. 

So  you  see  we  have  quite  a  number  of-  promising 
youngsters  up  here. 

Are  there  any  more  sons  of  Electioneer  in  Califor- 
nia at  the  present  time  than  Alta  Vela  2:11%,  At- 
moor  2:20  and  Mendocino  2:18%?  If  so,  please  name 
them,  PHILIP  C,   BYRNE. 

[We  are  not  able  to  give  the  information  desired 
by  Mr,  Byrne.  Will  our  readers  who  know  of  any 
Electioneer  stallions  In  California  please  notify  us, 
that  we  may  print  the  list?  There  are  several  that 
we  know  of,  but  we  would  like  to  make  .the  list  com- 
plete.—Ed.!|

BREEDERS  MEETING  BIG  SUCCESS. 


,arge    Attendance     and    Fast     Racing---Mona 

Wilkes  Takes  Three-Year-Old  Record 

of  2:11  1-2- 


Tlie    famous    Santa    Rosa    Stock    Farm    track    was 

(ever  in  better  shape  nor  presented  a  neater  appear- 
nce  than  it  did  one  Wednesday  of  this  week  when 
He  first  race'  of "  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Ireeders'  Association's  annual  fall  meeting-  was  called. 
;he  grand  stand  was  filled,  there  were  several  hun- 
ired  vehicles  lined  up  along  the  rail  on.  the  inside 
(rack,  and  the  lawn  in  front  of  the  stand  contained 
learly  every  trotting  enthusiast  in  the  State,  and 
lome  from  all  points  on  the  Coast  from  "Victoria  to 
bin  Diego.  The  weather  was  ideal — just  warm 
Enough  for  fast  time,  but  not  too  warm  for  the 
omfort  of  those  who  were  in  the  shade.  All  the 
1  rrangements  were  complete  in  every  detail  when  the 
pening  race  was  called. 

In  the  judges'  stand,,  Col.  J.  C.  Kirkpatrick^and  Mr. 
Yank  H.  Burke  of  San  Francisco,  and  Mr;  Robert 
irown  of  Petaluma,  all  directors  of  the  association, 
.-ere  seated.  Ed  R.  Smith  of  Los  Angeles  occupied 
he  starter's  box  and  Geo.  B.  Kelley  of  San  Francisco 
ttended  to  the  many  duties  devolving  upon  the  clerk 
f  the  course.  The  timers  were  Messrs.  John  A.  Mc- 
Cerron,  Chas.  A.  Durfee  and  A.  J.  Molera. 
When  the  first  race  was  called  but  four  of  the 
riginal  seventeen  trotters  entered  came  out  for  the 
ord.  The  purse  was  $S00,  divided  into  four  moneys, 
nd  was  for  the  2.27  class.  Adam  G.,  Willard  Zib- 
'ell's  fast  McKinney  trotter  that  won  so  impressively 
t  Los  Angeles  in  his  only  previous  start  this  year, 
•as  installed  the  favorite  at  $10,  with  the  Zombro 
,elding  Charlie  T ,  Wildbell,  a  son  of  Wildnut,  and 
.iro  Belmont  by  Oro  Wilkes,  in  the  field  at  $9. 
chwartz  &  Chase  sold  quite  a  number  of  pools  at 
lese  figures,  and  the  sympathies  of  the  crowd  were 
-ith  the  favorite  as  he  was  owned  by  the  unfortunate 
oung  man  who  was  recently  so  terribly  maimed  in 
le  railroad  accident  at  Fresno.  Adam  G.  was  driven 
y  J.  W.  Zibbell,  father  of  Willard;  Charlie  T.  was 
iloted  by  Al  McDonald,  one  of  the  coolest  drivers 
nd  best  finishers  on  the  circuit;  "Prof."  Freeman  held 
le  reins  over  Wildbell,  and  Mannie  Reams  of  Mamie 
L  fame  was  up  behind  Oro  Belmont. 

With  but  little  scoring  they  were  off  to  a  good 
.tart,  and  Adam  G.  trotted  like  the  great  horse  he 
ndoubtedMy  is  and  won  the  heat  in  2:11%,  the  fast- 
3t  mile  trotted  on  the  Coast  this  year,  and  a  reduc- 
ton  of  his  previous  record  by  three  full  seconds. 
he  announcement  of  the  time  was  received  with 
pplause,  and  the  crowd  settled  down,  to  the  belief 
lat  the  race  was  to  be  decided  in  straight  heats, 
oung  Zibbell,  with  his  devoted  wife,  viewed  the 
ice  from  a  carriage  in  the  infield. 
In  the  second  heat  the  favorite  cast  a  shoe  and 
>re  off  a  quarter  boot,  making  a  bad  break,  and  fin- 
ihing  last.  The  heat  went  to  Charlie  T.  in  2:14%, 
ro  Belmont  being  second  and  Wildbell  third.  The 
i.ict  that  Adam  G.  had  lost  a  heat  made  Charlie  T. 
ivorite  in  the  pools  as  the  talent  knew  McDonald's 
bility  as  a  driver  and  felt  that  it  would  take  two 
iore  heats  faster  than  2:14  to  beat  him. 
When  the  word  was  given  for  the  third  heat"  Adam 
.  and  Charlie  T.  made  a  dash  for  the  lead  and 
lere  was  a  very  close  race  to  the  half,  but  here  the 
!    [cKinney  gelding  out-trotted  McDonald's  horse  and 

■  on  rather  easily  in  2:14%,  with  Wildbell  in  second 
,  osition  and  Charlie   T.  third.     There  was   consider  - 

ble  pool  selling  after  this  heat  with  favoritism  alter- 

:    ating  between   the   two   heat   winners. 

:     In    the   fourth   heat   Zibbell   took   his   horse   to   the 

.  -ont  at  the  first  turn  with  the  other  three  close  to 

im.     Up  the  back  stretch  he  kept  in  the  lead,   but 

1  hen    Charlie    T.    came    at    him   at   the    far   turn    he 

!  i  roke,   but   his   driver   got   him   squared   away  again 

ithout  losing  very  much   ground,   although    Charlie 

I  .   had   assumed   the   lead.     In    a   rush   to    close   the 

ip   Zibbell    allowed    his    horse   to    again    break   and 

s  the  leader  swung  into  the  stretch  Adam  G.  was  at 

ast  six  lengths  behind  him.    Zibbell  gathered  Adam 

•  »r  a  final  effort  and  knowing  the  horse's  great  speed

Thursday,  Second   Day. 

A  large  crowd  was  not  expected  on  the  second  day 
of  the  Breeders*  meeting,  as  small  fields  were  the 
order  in  every  race,  but  the  grand  stand  filled  up 
and  the  record  for  second  day  crowds  was  broken. 
While  the  fields  were  small  the  contests  were  close, 
the  time  very  fast  and  split  heats  were  the  rule.  Bet- 
ting was  very  lively,  reminding  the  regulars  of  old 
times. 

The  first  event  on  the  card  was  the  finish  of  the 
2:13  pace.  As  Friskarina  had  won  two  heats  the 
previous  day,  and  Vision  but  one,  the  bettors  made 
the  Bays  water  Wilkes  mare  favorite,  but  "Vision 
showed  that  he  was  a  reality  Thursday  and  took  the 
two  heats  necessary  to  earn  first  money  in  2.11%  and 
2:14%. 

There  were  but  three  starters  in  the  2:17  trot,  the 
Direct  gelding  What  Is  It  being  favorite  at  $20 
against  $10  for  Jupiter  B.  and  Zambra  in  the  field. 
Five  heats  were  required  to  decide  the  winner,  al- 
though Zambra  was  distanced  in  the  first.  McDonald 
and  Will  Durfee  did  some  great  teaming  in  the  first 
heat,  McDonald  winning  by  a  short  head  in  2:11.  a 
new  mark  for  What  Is  It.  The  race  was  a  see-saw 
from  this  on,  but  the  Los  Angeles  reinsman  finally 
won  the  victory  which  was  deservedly  his. 

The  two  year-old  trotting  division  of  the  Breeders' 
Futurity  was  in  great  contrast  to  the  same  event 
last  year,  when  eight  high-class  youngsters  contested 
every  foot  of  a  four-heat  race,  with  the  time  from 
2:24  to  2:21%.  There  were  but  two  starters  Thurs- 
day and  standard  time  was  not  required  of  Prince 
McKinney  to  win,  although  he  could  have  trotted 
faster.  This  colt  is  owned  by-  F.  Gommet  of  San 
Francisco. 

There  were  five  three-year-olds  in  the  pacing  divi- 
sion of  Futurity  No.  2,  and  it  was  a  horse  race  from 
start  to  finish.  Fred  Chadbourne  won  the  race  after 
five  heats  with  the  filly  Mona  Wilkes,  owned  by  J.  W. 
Marshall  of  Dixon.  She  took  a  record  of  2:11%  in 
the  first  heat,  paced  the  second  in  2:13,  and  was 
beaten  the  third  and  fourth  by  Mamonio  in  2:14% 
and  2:17,  but  came  back  the  last  in  2.15%,  showing 
her  great  gameness  She  made  a  disastrous  break  in 
the  third  heat  and  had  to  be  driven  very  hard  to  get 
inside  the  flag,  and  Reams;,  the  driver  of  Mamonio, 
insisted  that  the  judges  should  distance  her  for  run- 
ning. He  made  his  protest  so  emphatic  that  he  was 
fined  $50.  Just  It,  a  filly  credited  with  a  half  in 
1:00%  last  week  at  San  Jose,  got  third  money  in  the 
race,  and  Roberta  and  Deviletta  were  distanced. 
Mona  Wilkes  is  by  Demonio  2:11%  and  her  dam  is  a 
daughter  of  Nutwood  Wilkes.     The  summaries:

Breeder  and  Sportsman:  It  may  h«-  news  to  the 
outside  world  to  know  that  we  are  raising  standard 
bred  colls  back  here  in  is.     1  recently  sent 

down  eight  head  of  yearlings  to  be  worked  by  W. 
Minis., i,  at  the  Rohnerville  track,  who  is  trainer  for 
Mr.  H.  Brace.  The  colts  are  all  by  Mr.  Brace's  stal- 
lion Greco,  son  of  McKinney  and  out  of  the  great 
brood  mare  Alien  2:26  by  Anteeo.  second  dam  Lou 
Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon.  Greco,  I  think,  will 
prove  a  greater  sire  than  the  old  horse.  Mr.  Johnson 
drove  one  of  the  colts,  which  was  only  p\  1  in  harness 
three  weeks  ago.  an  eighth  in  IS  sectindc.  The  colt 
I  am  referring  to  is  only  fourteen  months  old.  We 
have  a  full  brother  to  him  on  the  ranch  that  is  only 
three  months  old  that  will  show  as  good  as  a  forty 
gait   now. 

We  have  brood  mares  on  the  ranch  in  foal  to  Greco. 
They  are  the  pick  of  Humboldt  county.  Among 
them  are  Belle  King,  the  dam  of  Bolivar  2:08%,  Daisy 
Hayward,  the  dam  of  lora  2:11*4,  the  pacing  mare 
Ruby  M.  2:12%  and  several  others  that  have  already 
produced  or  have  fast  records. 

We  have  four  stallions.  Greco,  Ansel  B..  Quintellas 
and  Buster  the  First.  The  mountain  air  and  spring 
water,  with  the  finest  of  pasture  lands,  make  this  an 
idea  place  for  maturing  good  col-ts. 

J.   H.   HIESTER. 

[Mr.  Hiester  was  for  eighteen  years  cdnnected  with 
the  San  Francisco  Report  newspaper,  and  while  living 
here  had  several  horses  in  training  at  Alameda  track 
under  care  of  James  Hurd.  Mr.  Hiester  is  now 
superintendent  of  Mr.  H.  Brace's  stock  ranch  at  Dyer- 
ville,  Humboldt  county,  and  resides  there  with  Ivis 
family.  His  many  friends  in  San  Francisco  will  "be 
glad  to  hear  he  is  so  pleasantly  and  profitably  located, 
and  will  look  for  him  to  come  down  "put  of  the 
woods"  in  a  couple  of  years  with  a  Futurity"  winner

A    SPORTSMAN    ON     PHENOL    SODIQUE. 

"Id  my  laboratory  there  always  stands  on  the  waBhstand  a 
tumbler  which  generally  contains  a  remedy  which  should  be 
known  to  everyone  and  especially  to  sportsmen  I  koow  that 
many  owners  or  horses,  digs,  cattle,  sheep  and  poultry  are  never 
without  It.  For  more  than  tw-nty  years  I  have  seldom  been  with- 
out It  an  hour.  In  the  family  it  is  invaluable,  and  many  a  physi- 
cian's bill  ha»  been  saved  by  Us  u«e.  M>  children  have  become 
so  accustomed  to  It  that  when  their  winter  rcmps  develop  a  little 
soreness  of  the  throat,  a  visit  to  the  Phenol  Sodique  and  a  good 
gargle  before  retiring  brings  them  around  all  right  next  morning. 
A  cut.'a  burn,  a  bad  scratoh.  a  bite  or  sting  of  any  venemous  in- 
sect is  Instantly  relieved  and  speedily  cured  by  an  application  of 
Phenol-  In  fact,  the  Phenol  bottle  seems  to  he  constantly  in  de- 
mand Befog  haemostatic,  antiseptic  and  disinfectant  It  beats 
anything  I  ever  came  across  for  galls,  ulcers  and  erupMonson 
horses  and  dops.  Are  your  dogs' ears  raw  and  bleeding  from  fly 
bites?  Pour  a  few  drops  of  Phenol  on  them  and  no  fly  will  light 
there,  and  they  will  rapidly  heal  Diluted.  It  Is  an  excellent  dis- 
infectant for  the  kennel  and  an  excellent  remedy  for  mange. 
Sportsmen  who  once  use  PheDol  will  never  be  without  it.  as 
nothing  Is  more  soothing  to  a  wounded  or  abraded  Burface.  More 
than  once  when  an  atraokof  acute  pharyngitis  threatened  to  keep 
me  from  the  field  I  have  put  a  small  bottle  of  Phenol  in  my  pocket 
and,  using  It  several  times  as  a  gargln  during  the  day,  have  re- 
turned at  nlcht  better  than  when  I  left  in  the  morning.  Trylt. 
brother  sportsmen,  and  I  am  sure  you  will  appreolatelt  as  I  do."

THE    PEAST    OP    ST.    DOVE. 


Uncase   the   trusty   twelve-bore. 

"To   heel,"   bid   old   dog  Tray — 
No  more   the   law   enthralls   us 

And  we  will   shoot  today. 

Full    anxiously    we've    waited 

The   dawning   of   the  First — 
For   fresh,    green    fields    en-hungered. 

For    liberty    a-thirst. 

For    liberty    to    wander, 

The   good   dog  by   our   side — 
By  field  and  fell   and  hedgerow. 

And  wait  what   e'er  betide. 

A    whir    of   rapid    pinions, 

A    hurtling   blur    of    gray — 
"Bang!"    speaks   the   good   breech-loader. 

For  we  may   shoot  today. 

The   air   sets   blood   a-eoursing 

Through    veins — like    rare,    old    wine, 

The   scent   of  nature's  posies 
Brings    cheer   without   repine. 

The  partridge  and  the  plover. 
The  wild-goose   and   the   quail — 

Have   each    their   own    enchantments. 
Worked   out  by  hill   and  dale. 

For   me   the   pleasant    tramping. 

For  me   the  windward  way — 
That   follows   in   the  dove's  flight, 

From   dawn  'till   close  of  day. 

Unbox    the    Number    Sevens. 

Unleash    old    faithful    Tray. 
And   we   will  "trail    unhindered, 
The   little   bird    in    gray.

DOVES    ARE    SCARCE. 


Reports  from  many  heretofore  good  dove  hunting 
districts  are  all  of  the  same  unsatisfactory  coloring. 
Doves  are  very  scarce  this  year.  They  have  been 
getting  noticeably  fewer  season  after  season. 

A  San  Joaquin  farmer  advances  the  following 
unique  theory  to  account  for  the  conditions  in  his 
district: 

"It's  the  game  law  that's  responsible,"  he  remarked. 
"Before  doves  were  included  among  protected  birds, 
hardly  anybody  hunted  them.  Occasionally  some  farm 
boy  might  go  out  and  get  a  mess,  but  there  was  not 
the  unanimous  rush  of  sportsmen  that  you  see  now 
when  the   dove  season  opens. 

"It  is  human  nature  to  covet  something  that  is  pro- 
hibited. V\"e  are  a  good  deal  like  Nasby's  goat,  which 
wouldn't  stay  fn  the  yard  where  he  ought  to  be;  he'd 
jump  the  fence  into  the  next  yard,  where  he  wasn't 
wanted,  and  the  only  cure  was  to  put  him  in  there 
and  then  let  him  jump  back:  then  that  goat  was 
satisfied.  Just  as  soon  as  you  class  any  bird  as 
game  and  fix  a  season  for  it,  you  start  people  to  hunt- 
ing who  would  have  considered  it  beneath  their  dig- 
nity to  kill  such  birds  before.  Mud  hens  would  be  in 
high  demand  if  they  were  only  included  in  the  game 
law.  I  hope  the  legislators  won't  put  blackbirds  in 
the  list:  because  if  they  do,  the  birds,  which  are  use- 
ful to  farmers,  as  they  kill  bugs  and  grubs,  will  soon 
be    exterminated." 

About  Marysville,  which  section  had  the  reputation 
of  affording  enjoyable  dove  shooting,  last  week,  few 
if  any  hunters  were  successful  in  getting  the  limit 
of  twenty-five  birds.  Some  of  the  hunters  say  they 
never  knew  doves  to  be  so  scarce  as  this  season. 
Judging  by  the  bags  brought  in  the  shooting  on  the 
opening  day  was  better  in  Sutter  county  than  in 
Yuba.  The  best  bag  was  made  by  George  McCoy  and 
Dan  Bryant,  who  brought  in  forty-seven  doves  from 
Sutter  county.  J.  W.  Steward.  R.  F.  White,  G.  TV. 
Hall  and  Herman  Berg  tried  their  luck  in  Sutter  and 
got    nearly   one   hundred    birds. 

Henry  Sidling  of  San  Francisco,  one  of  the  crack 
trap  shots  of  the  State,  went  to  Marysville  to  enjoy 
0  I  i  ning  day's  sport.  He  got  but  twelve  birds  and 
says  that  was  about  all  lie  saw.  He  went  out  with 
J.  W.  Giguerre  of  Yuba  City. 

The    conditions   in    Santa    Clara    valley    seem    to   be 

much  better,  for  reports  of  limit  bags  are  numerous 

at  San  Jose.     J.  Delmas  and  M.  Lacy  shot  19  between 

them    on    the    Calaveras;     George    Anderson.    Charles 

and    Thad   Hobson,    21   in   party   shooting   at 

1   barles  Mule,  16  from  Madrone;  P.  F.  Brott 

»rest   Wheeler,  limit  bags  from  Coyote;    Phillip 

Strickler.    10   from   Coyote;    J.   Cadwallader.    5    at   Al- 

maden;   George  Delwig,  15  near  Hollister;   James  Mc- 

Kiernan,    Ed    Rhoads,    limit    bags    at    Madrone;    Fred 

Barry,  12  at  Silver  Creek;  F.  A.  Sangster,  limit  bag  by 

I  vas. 

Doves  are  ateo  said  to  be  plentiful  near  Rocklin, 
Placer  county. 


SALMON    FISHING    IN    THE    DANUBE    RIVER. 

In  these  days  of  rising  salmon-fishing  rents  an 
ever  decreasing  supply  of  fish,  no  apology  is  offere 
for  attracting  the  notice  of  anglers  to  a  variety  i 
their  pastime,  which,  it  is  correct  to  say,  but  few  c 
them  can  have  tasted.  Yet  the  locality  where 
may  be  participated  in  is  no  further  removed  froi 
London  that  the  remoter  of  the  Highland  fishings 
it  comes  into  being  each  year  presicely  at  the  tim 
when  much  of  the  salmon  angling  and  all  of  the  trou 
fishing  goes  out  of  season,  says  a  writer  in  the  Asiai 
and  it  is  well  worthy  the  attention  of  those  wfi 
love  a  sport  none  the  less  for  the  difficulties  whffl 
stand  in  the  way  of  success  in  its  pursuit. 

Amongst  the  idiosyncrasies  of  the  mighty  Danub 
is  the  possession  of  a  salmon  all  to  itself  This 
the  huchen,  the  Salmo  hucho  of  the  naturalist,  whos 
normal  habitat  is  the  Danube.  But,  just  as  Salrh 
salar  leaves  the  sea  and  ascends  rivers,  so  does  th 
huchen  w-ander  up  the  affluents  of  the  Danube,  th 
purpose  of  each  fish  being  the  same,  viz.,  to  spawi 
Formerly  it  was  thought  that  the  huchen  found  it 
way  to  the  Black  Sea,  but  this  opinion  appears  t 
have  been  formed  more  upon  inference  than  upo 
observation.  Other  species  of  salmon  descend  t 
the  sea;  the  Danube  empties  itself  into  the  Blac 
Sea;  ergo,  the  huchen  goes  there  too.  Except  tha 
the  way  is  clear  enough  for  the  fish  to  enter  th 
Black  Sea,  an  it  listed,  it  might  serve  as  the  Euro 
pean  type  of  the  land-locked  salmon  of  North  Amer 
ica.  The  fiesh  of  the  huchen,  palatble  as  it  is.  an 
acceptable  to  a  land-locked  people,  carries  with  it  n 
suggestion  of  the  creamy  richness  of  its  sea-fe- 
congener,.  and  the  accepted  theory  is  that  its  hom 
is  the  Danube,  with  that  river's  glacier-fed  tribu 
taries   as   its   nurseries. 

Like  the  trout,  the  huchen  selects  the  winter  a 
the  most  suitable  season  for  spawning,  and  toward 
the  end  of  September  the  fish  commences  to  worl 
its  way  into  the  rushing  rivers  whose  pale  greei 
waters  are  typical  of  glacier-fed  streams.  There  i 
no  unseemly  rush  for  the  best  places;  and  it  is  ti 
be  noted  that  the  farther  one  ascends  one  of  thes< 
huchen-haunted  tributaries  the  smaller  do  the  fisJ 
average.  The  big  waters  hold  the  big  fish.  Fron 
bridges  and  other  coigns  of  vantage  they  may  b< 
seen  lying  in  favorite  runs,  dark-backed  and  neve 
pale  like  our  own  salmon.  Anyone  thus  looking 
a  huchen  for  the  first  time  would  be  at  a  loss  t<i 
classify  it,  for  there  is  a  pike-like  viciousness  in  it^ 
attitude  as  it  lies,  as  though  keenly  on  the  look-ou 
for  prey,  and  not  at  all  after  the  manner  of 
salmon  waiting  to  get  up.  Whilst  the  adipose  fii 
betrays  the  salmonoid,  the  head  seen  alone  from  thd 
front  would  present  a  puzzle,  for  in  breadth  it  i: 
that  of  the  chub,  the  big  mouth  having  even  a  sug- 
gestion of  the  cat-fish  about  it.  It  is  a  terrible  look- 
ing  mouth,  and  the  crushing  power  of  the  jaws  i: 
tremendous,  greater  than  that  of  the  pike.  Wher 
hooked  the  huchen  may  be  relied  upon  to  give  a  Ions 
pull  and  a  strong  pull,  and  in  the  region  it  inhabits 
is  deservedly  regarded  as  the  angler's  doughtiesl 
quarry. 

A  typical  huchen-river  is  the  Iller,  rising  in  the 
Bavarian  Highlands  and  falling  into  the  Danube  at 
LTlm.  At  that  point  there  is  not  much  to  choose 
between  the  two  rivers  in  the  matter  of  volume,  for, 
no  great  distance  away,  the  Danube  is  a  really  beau- 
tiful and  blue  stream  flowing  amongst  a  profusion 
of  white  granite  rocks.  The  Iller  is  a  considerable 
river,  swiftly  flowing  for  the  greater  part  and  plenti- 
fully supplied  with  tumultuous  rapids,  down  which 
however,  picturesque  raftsmen  glide  and  rock  fear- 
lessly. At  the  rate  the  Iller  flows  a  trip  made 
an  arrangement  of  twenty  or  thirty  fir  logs  m 
be  an  exhilarating  one,  and  suggestive  of  a  new 
sation  to  most  of  us.  Starting  from  Ulm  upwai 
two  principal  towns  are  i  eached,  Memmingen  and] 
Kempten.  About  and  above  Memmingen  the  largesl 
fish  are  met  with,  the  higher  waters  of  Kemptenj 
holding  the  smaller  fish  only. 

If  the  angler  visits  this  region  before  autumn 
changed  to  winter  he  will  gain  in  the  beauty  of 
surroundings,  but  sacrifices  some  sport.  Nothing 
be  much  more  lovely  than  the  country  at  the  time! 
the  second  crop  of  hay  is  being  got  in.  At  this! 
period  the  visitors  may  not  unwarrantably  think  the, 
land  depopulated  unless  he  should  happen  upon  the! 
people  at  work  in  the  fields.  There  he  will  find  en 
tire  families,  from  grandfather  down  to  the  young- 
est, capable  of  rendering  assistance,  busily  occupied 
in  converting  what  is  literally  a  carpet  of  flowers 
into  hay.  Once  more  does  the  Englishman  find  him- 
self in  a  merry  hay-making  time,  a  thing  of  the  p; 
in  his  own  country.  He  will  be  a  very  non-impri 
sionable  person  if  he  fails  to  notice  the  dainty  pre! 
tiness  of  the  girls,  who  lose  nothing  by  being  bare- 
footed. But  the  time  for  dallying,  watching  happy 
people  who  make  pleasure  of  their  wrork  in  what 
with  us,  is  an  old-w^orld  fashion,  is  not  the  best  for 
huchen  fishing.  Later  on,  when  the  snow  lies  a  foot 
deep  on  the  ground,  then  are  the  large  fish  to  be 
found  in  the  greatest  number.  When  the  rigors  of 
winter  set  in  in  earnest  then  huchen  fishing  is  at  its 
best;  and  herein  will  at  once  be  perceived  a  pro- 
tective measure  that  will  prevent  the  fishing  from 
the  likelihood  of  being  overdone,  for  winter  fishing 
under  the  conditions  that  prevail  in  this  part  of  Ba- 
varia is  not  likely  to  find  favor  with  any  but  the 
most  ardent. 

The  manner  of  catching  the  huchen  with  rod,  line 
and  hook  is  twofold,  viz.,  with  the  fly  and  with  the 
spinning  bait.  "With  the  fly  none  but  small  fish — 
up  to  seven  pounds  or  so — are  caught,  whereas  the 
angler  need  not  despair  of  meeting  with  a  forty- 
pounder.  He  will  not  get  one  of  these  with  the  fly, 
so  he  is  recommended  to  spin.  He  need  be  under  no 
qualms    of    conscience    that    he    will    not    thoroughly

earn  every  fish  he  catches  by  this  method.  For  the 
most  part  these  rivers  run  through  gorges  of  greater 
or  less  depth  with  or  without  foreshore.  Where  there 
is  foreshore  there  is  a  belt  of  trees,  so,  in  each  and 
every  case  the  angler  must  take  himself  to  the  river 
and  wade.  There  is  no  walking  from  pool  to  pool 
and  casting  from  the  bank,  in  the  approved  fashion 
of  many  Scotch  and  Norwegian  salmon  rivers.  Here 
and  there  a  gravel  slope  will  slant  into  the  water  at 
an  easy  gradient,  but  at  such  places  there  are  no 
huchen— only  grayling,  of  which  more  anon. 

In    order   to    arrive   at   the    huchen's   lair   with   the 

spinning-bait,  the  angler  must  be  in   the  water,   and 

nothing    less    than    full    waders    will    be    of    use.      In 

most  cases  he  will  have  to  pass  through  the  wooded 

fringe,   rod   and   other   paraphernalia   in    hand.     It    is 

more   than   likely   that  he  will  already   have   come   a 

few  miles  over  rough  country  attired  in  waders,  and 

should  this  be  in  September  or  October  the  sun  will 

have  to  be  reckoned  with.     The  huchen  does  not  lie 

in  places  which  are  the  recognized  holes  for  salmon. 

The   eddy  below   certain   rocks   he   has   a  prediliction 

for,  but  more  often  it  is  to  be  found  in  the  strongest 

runs  where  the  stream  rushes  on  in  big  undulations. 

To    reach   these    the   angler   must   often..  Wjade   far: 

and    these    river    have    none    too     reliable-  ,- bottoms. 

treacherous    shingle,    which    flies    down    stream   when 

'     disturbed,    alternating   with    slippery    clayey    patches. 

!    At  the  moment  when   he  is  exercised  to  the  utmost 

i     to   retain  a  foothold   he  has   to   do   the  casting,   and, 

maybe,  strike  and  hold  his  fish. 

The   tackle   to    be   used   may   be   based   upon   what 
J    would  be  used  for  pike,   but  a  somewhat  pliant  rod 
I     is    recommended.      A    hundred    and    twenty    yards    of 
i    stout  spinning  line   may  be  attached   to   either   class 
I    of  reel.     The  man  accustomed  to  the  Nottingham  reel 
I    will  not  feel   inclined   to   relinquish   it.   but  it   is   the 
-     custom  with  the  most  skillful  anglers  in  the  Iller  to 
spin  with  the  hand-drawn  line.     The  problem  of  deal- 
ing with  the  slack  is  most  ingeniously  dealt  with  by 
I     means    of   a    semi-circular   network   attached    to    the 
I    waist      When  not  in  use  this  is  shut  up  fan-fashion 
and   allowed   to   hang   at   the   side:    in    use   it   is   ex- 
l'    tended   in   front   of   the   angler.     The   device   answers 
perfectly   and  the  fact  that  the  curled-up  line  is  fre- 
quently   afloat    is    no    hindrance        The     tremendous 
crushing  power  of  the  huchen's  law  renders  the  use 
of  the  strongest  hooks  imperative,  and  for  the  pur- 
pose  nothing   is   better   than   mahseer   hooks      These 
can  be  made  up  into  any  shape  the  angler  fancies; 
»   the    writer    found    the    ordinary    Thames    cast    quite 
effective.     Treble  gut  is  advisable  for  both  east  and 
spinning    leaders. 

The  best  bait  for  the  purpose  is  a  small  grayling, 

a  fish  that  is  extremely  plentiful  in  the  river.     Like 

the   big   brown   trout   of  the    Scotch   and  Irish   lakes, 

the  huchen  can  be  taken  with  the  artificial  lure,  b;t 

just   as    a   small   trout    is   the   most    deadly   with   his 

I  over    grown    fellows    so    is    the     grayling     with     the 

huchen      Each  is  the  "natural"  bait  of  its  particular 

water      But  in  these  days  no  angler  would  start  upon 

such  an  expedition  unprovided  with  a  supply  of  dead 

:  bait   preserved    in    formalin.      The    angler,    it   will    be 

:  perceived,    is    fishing    under    conditions    that    are    as 

I  novel   to   him   as   the   country   he   is   visiting   for   the 

•  first  time.  His  experiences  when  he  comes  to  actual 
'  fishing  will  be  in  line  with  this.  With  his  bait  spm- 
i  ning  rapidly  across  the  stream  he  may  well  wonder 
■  what  is  going  to  happen.  His  recollection  of  other 
>  modes  of  angling  scarcely  prepare  him  for  seeing  a 
■■  reddish  back  which  gives  to  the  huchen  the  locally 
',  universally  applied  title  of  "red-fish,"  curl  over  at 
<  the  surface  porpoise-like.     Just  when  he  is  wonder- 

•  ing  what  this  portends,  he  feels  a  slight  tug.  He 
:  strikes  instinctively,  but  it  is  too  late:  the  huchen 
I  has  already  let  go.  That  curling  over  of  the  reddish 
I  back  was  the  equivalent  of  the  leap  of  the  loch  trout 

clear  of  the  water,  with  the  fly  in  its  mouth.    Next 
time  the  angler  will  strike  more  quickly  in  case  the 
'  huchen  has  not  hooked  itself— a  contingency  that  must 
I  not  be  relied  upon. 

The   first   rush    of   the   huchen   is    tremendous,    and 
.    I  the  fish  always  has  a  very  strong  stream  to  help  it. 
■  It  is  the  first  rush  of  the  chub  multiplied  by  three. 
At  first  the   ultimate   landing   of  a  big  fish   seems   a 

I  hopeless  task,  but  the  angler's  chances  are  improved 
if  the  rod  be  powerful  yet  pliant,  a  quality  that  is 
found  in  rods  made  of  greenherat  or  lance  wood. 
The  rest  remains  with  the  angler. 

A  day's  fishing  would  begin  with  the  light  fly-rod 
on  the  grayling  ground,  for  a  bait.  The  same  local- 
ity in  the  evening  provides  a  very  pleasant  change 
from  the  heavier  work.  Two-pound  grayling  are 
common  enough,  and  no  matter  where  one  has  pre- 
viously angled  for  this  fish,  the  sport  cannot  be  sur- 
passed. The  first  cast  I  made  for  grayling  realized 
a  fish  of  two  pounds  and  a  quarter,  and  this  and 
each  of  the  several  that  followed  it  gave  the  most 
extraordinary  salutatory  performance,  jumping  clean 
out  half  a  dozen  times.  One  was  never  sure  of  a 
j!  fish  until  it  was  in  the  net.     In  this  particular  river 

I I  trout  are  very  rarely  met  with,  grayling,  some  coarse 
fish  and  huchen  being  the  inhabitants.     The  country 

'is  rich  with  streams,  large  and  small,  in  which  trout 
:!and  grayling  abound,  and  we  have  here  a  land  await- 
,:ing  the  enterprising  angler  when  the  Norway  agent 
ilhas  gone  too  far  in  his  rent- raising  schemes  and  net- 
iting  and  pollutions  have  depleted  our  own  rivers. 
■  Of  course  every  inch  of  the  fishing  is  in  private 
hands,  but  arrangements  are  to  be  made  with  lessees, 
many  of  whom  rent  the  fishings  for  the  profit  to  be 
got  out  of  them.  Every  huchen  caught  represents 
so  many  marks  value;  and  some  Bavarian  lessees 
have  no  objection  to  the  fish  being  caught  with  rod 
ind  line,  especially  when  the  angler  pays  for  the 
privilege.

Anglers'   Smoker. 

The  California  Anglers'  Association  will  be  enter- 
tained at  the  club's  initial  smoker  to  come  off  Wednes- 
day evening,   August   23rd. 

The  affair  will  take  place  in  the  club's  elegant 
rooms.  A  number  ol  well  known  local  anglers  are 
billed  for  talks  on  congenial  subjects  anent  the  sport 
of  angling  and  also  on  matters  that  will  be  of  general 
interest  for  the  good  of  the  fraternity. 


A  BULL  TERRIER'S  SOLILOQUY. 


Striped    Bass    Angling. 

Within  the  past  ten  days  several  encouraging 
catches  of  striped  bass  have  been  taken.  One  expert 
bass  angler  is  enthusiastic  enough  over  the  indica- 
tions to  predict  that  the  fish  taken  are  the  advance 
guard  of  a  bass  run  coming  from  the  ocean  waters 
and  that  it  is  more  than  likely  that  the  anticipated 
visit  of  the  fish  will  be  one  in  which  large  fish  will 
be  fairly  numerous.  At  all  events,  the  consensus  of 
opinion  among  "clam  casters"  and  "spoon  trollers" 
is  that  most  of  the  big  fellows  are  taking  things 
leisurely  at  present  in  the  waters'  depths  beyond  the 
Golden   Gate. 

San  Antone  slough,  much  to  the  delight  of  a  few 
lucky  fishermen,  did  not  declare  a  blank  drawing  in 
the  bass  lottery  last  week,  for  on  Friday,  Al  M. 
Cumming  landed  five  fish  that  were  induced  to  grab 
the  clam  baits.  The  largest  fish  scaled  15  Mi  pounds, 
the  other  four  11,  9%,  4  and  3y2  pounds  respectively. 
Pleased  with  the  indications  on  fish-day,  Mr.  Cum- 
mings  fished  on  Saturday  but  could  only  land  an 
S-pounder.  and  that  with  a  spoon,  despite  his  strict 
attention  to  rod  and  line  work  during  the  forenoon. 
These  fish  were  all  taken  on  an  ebb  tide. 

R.  W.  MeFarland  fished  on  both  days,  but  with 
little  success.  When  "Mac"  goes  after  bass  he  gen- 
erally makes  a  showing  if  the  fish  are  about. 

On  last  Sunday  Mr.  Bliss  had  the  good  fortune  to 
land  seven  fish  from  the  slough  The  largest  turned 
the  scales  at  12  pounds.  Bliss  is  the  present  holder 
of  the  San  Francisco  Striped  Bass  Club  high  hook 
medal.  He  has  held  the  trophy  for  some  time  past 
with  first  a  5,  then  a  7  and  now  his  latest  12-pound 


Crockett  Kennels'  Ch.  Cato  Jr. 

catch. 

Mr.  Bliss  recently  had  some  fair  sport  in  San 
Leandro  bay.  "Locals"  landed  a  number  of  bass  at 
the  same  time.  The  fishing  in  that  water  is  reported 
by  Mr.  Bliss  to  have  improved  recently. 

The  report  that  a  15-pound  striped  bass  was  taken 
in  Lake  Merrit  one  night  this  week  is  a  reliable  one. 
John  Fatjo  and  several  other  anglers  have  taken  a 
number  of  bass  during  the  week,  at  night. 

The  second  shark  recorded  as  captured  in  Lake 
Merritt  was  taken  by  a  bass  angler  one  day  this 
week.  It  was  a  small  leopard  shark,  not  over  3% 
feet  long. 

The  awoved  intention  of  the  Fish  Commission  to 
enforce  the  law  regarding  the  taking  of  small  sized 
bass  by  the  rod  and  line  men  is  looked  upon  by  the 
majority  of  anglers  as  a  move  in  the  right  direction. 
The  matter  has  grown  into  an  abuse  of  a  tolerated 
privilege,  for  the  law  applies  to  all.  The  net  men 
justly  claim  that  they  have  as  much  right  (?)  to 
net  small  sized  bass  as  the  rod,  and  also  the  set  line 
men.  At  all  events,  the  net  fellows  cannot  now  say 
that  there  is  any  partiality  shown  sportsmen. 

Another  opinion  that  is  gaining  ground  daily  is  that 
if  there  were  a  close  season  on  striped  bass  it  would 
be  of  great  benefit. 


They  call  me  Mike.  I'm  a  thoroughbred,  from 
nose-end  to  tail-tip,  and  master  says  I  know  so  much 
about  dogs  and  men  that  I  ought  to  tell  a  thing  or  two. 
So  I'm  going  to. 

For  instance,  if  you  were  taking  care  of  someone's 
property  and  a  bad  looking  man  came  along,  you'd 
ask  what  he  wanted,  wouldn't  you?  Well,  if  a  dog 
does  just  that  same  thing  in  the  best  and  only  way  he 
knows  how,  everybody  says  he  is  savage  and  dan- 
gerous. Now,  if  a  stranger  who  smells  evil  (we  dogs 
tell  good  from  evil  by  our  noses,  not  by  our  eyes), 
I  growl  to  see  if  it  scares  him.  If  it  does,  I  just  let 
him  see  that  I  am  on  to  him,  and  he'd  better  keep  out 
of  the  yard.  If  he  keeps  right  on  and  speaks  to  me 
and  goes  to  the  door  like  an  honest  man.  I  bark  and 
wag  my  tail  to  let  him  know  it  is  all  right. 

Some  fool  men  think  that  if  a  dog  barks  loud  at 
them  that  they  are  dangerous.  They  don't  know 
enough  to  look  to  see  if  he  is  wagging  his  tail.  No 
dog  ever  bites  a  person  at  whom  he  wags  his  tail, 
but  if  I  stick  my  nose  and  tail  out  on  a  line  with  my 
back  it  is  about  time  to  get  over  the  fence.  When  a 
dog  does  that  he  means  business. 

A  neighbor's  dog  was  telling  me  how  a  friend  of  his 
master's  could  understand  just  what  dogs  mean  by 
their  bark,  growl  or  actions.  "He  came  into  my  yard," 
said  the  other  dog,  "and  into  the  barn  I  was  taking 
care  of,  to  get  something.  I  jumped  at  him,  but  all 
he  did  was  to  say:  'What's  the  matter  with  you? 
Go  back  in  your  box,  quick,  or  I'll  pull  all  your  teeth 
out.'  Now  if  he  had  stopped  or  looked  scared,  I'd 
have  had  a  piece  of  his  leg  before  he  could  wink." 

Lots  of  people  make  a  mistake  by  patting  a  strange 
dog  on  the  top  of  the  head.  The  way  to  make  up  to 
a  strange  dog  is  to  stoop  down,  stick  out  your  hand, 
palm  up,  and  pat  him  on  the  chest  between  the  front 
legs,  or  on  the  throat.  A  dog  loves  that.  But  before 
you  touch  him  at  all  let  him  smell  your  hand  for  a 
moment.  If  the  dog  growls  when  he  smells  your  hand 
let  him  alone;  if  he  licks  it  he  is  your  friend.  Tou 
see  it  is  this  way:  when  a  man  wants  to  cuff  a  dog 
he  does  it  on  the  top  of  the  head  or  on  the  ears,  with 
the  back  of  his  hand  up.  If  your  palm  is  up  and 
under  his  jaw  he  knows  you  do  not  mean  to  cuff  him. 
While  the  dog  may  not  make  friends,  he  will  not  bite 
you.  No  dog  will  ever  bite  a  person  who  is  stooping 
over  or  sitting  on  the  heels.  No  matter  how  savage 
he  is,   he  won't  bite. 

There  are  lots  of  fool  persons  in  this  world.  Just 
because  I  am  a  Bull  Terrier  they  think  I  am  danger- 
ous. My  master  has  a  small  boss  about  five  years 
old.  I  guess  she's  what  they  call  his  daughter,  but 
he  calls  her  "sweetheart."  When  she  was  a  baby  I 
was  a  puppy.  We're  true  friends.  Well,  there  is  noth- 
ing she  likes  better  than  when  I  am  gnawing  a  bone 
to  put  one  of  her  fat  arms  around  my  neck  and  take 
the  bone  away  from  me  with  the  other  hand.  I  have 
heard  some  women  who  live  near  say,  when  they  saw 
it,  "How  dare  you  let  that  child  touch  that  horrid 
Bulldog  when  he's  eating?"  Now.  wouldn't  that  make 
you  bark?  Why,  when  she  puts  her  arms  about  my 
neck  and  kisses  my  ear  and  says,  "Me  loves  oo  Mity," 
I  tremble  all  over,  and  feel  just  like  I  do  when  I  smell 
beefsteak  cooking.  Tou  humans  don't  know  how  a 
dog  longs  to  make  you  understand  what  he  feels  and 
means,  and  when  a  dog  finds  someone  like  my  master 
and  my  master's  little  boss,  who  understands  him  to 
the  least  cock  of  the  ear,  he  is  just  simply  happy. 


Salmon    in    the    Bay. 

There  is  evidently  a  fair  run  of  salmon  on  in  the 
"straits"  at  present.  Last  week  a  15-pound  fish  was 
hooked  off  Bluff  Point.  It  is  also  reported  that  four 
small  salmon,  the  largest  about  S  pounds  in  weight, 
were  taken  off  California  City  on  Sunday  last. 

The  taking  of  these  fish  by  casual  anglers  has 
aroused  the  interest  of  the  local  angling  talent  to  a 
degree.  To-morrow  a  number  of  the  experts  propose 
to  prospect  Raccoon  Straits  with  the  object  in  view 
of  hooking  a  salmon  on  the  trolling  spoons.  The 
Tiburon,  Angel  Island  and  "straits"  waters  have  been 
barren  of  striped  bass  results  recently  and  the  salmon 
trolling  flotilla  will  also  keep  a  lookout  for  bass. 

Reports  from  Grant's  Pass.  Oregon,  give  an  enticing 
account  of  the  splendid  fishing  to  be  enjoyed  at  pres- 
ent in  Rogue  river.  If  the  annual  program  of  the 
steelhead  is  not  decidedly  changed  the  fishing  will 
be  worth  attending  in  September. 


English   Setter    Kennels. 

The  establishment  of  the  Crockett  Kennels  by  J.. 
M.  Golobeck  and  Wm.  Phillips  will  be  appreciated  by 
sportsmen  who  want  none  but  a  properly  broken  high 
class  dog  to  work  to  the  gun. 

Champion  Cato  Jr.  is  not  only  a  stylish  bench  win- 
ning dog  but  he  is,  as  well,  a  grand  performer  in  the 
field.  He  is  bred  in  the  purple  and  is  the  sire  of  a 
number  of  grand  puppies.  Cato  Jr.'s  grandam  and 
sire  are  Mercury  and  Johanna.  The  progeny  of  this 
brace  lias  proven  worthy  performers  at  field  trials 
and  in  the  hunting  field.  Ch.  Maggie  F..  his  dam. 
has  been  a  consist  winner  at  the  field  trials  as  well 
as  on  the  bench.  Lady  Rod's  Chaff  (Rod's  Chaff- 
Cressida),  the  dam  of  Maggie  F.  and  Ch.  Count  Glad- 
stone IV.,  her  sire  represent  English  setter  per- 
formances that  are  an  essential  part  of  the  history 
of  the  breed  and  its  high  development  in  the  past 
two  decades. 

The  brood  bitches  that  will  be  installed  in  the  ken- 
nels will  be  none  the  less  high  class  than  the  stud 
dogs. 

Manager  Phillips,  as  a  trainer  of  hunting  dogs,  has 
an  enviable  reputation  for  thoroughness  and  relia- 
bility. He  states  that  he  will  guarantee  every  dog 
turned  over  to  the  owner  to  do  the  work  required 
and  for  which  he  was  trained  faultlessly,  or  the  fees 
will  be  refunded;  in  fact,  he  proposes  to  break  his 
dogs  properly  before  accepting  a  particle  of  compen- 
sation. 


Irish  Water  Spaniel  Puppies. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  offer,  on  page  15,  of  the 
chance  to  procure  some  excellent  Irish  water  spaniels. 
This  breed  is  a  favorite  one  with  duck  hunters — in 
fact  just  the  dog  for  work  on  our  marshes  and  In 
the  tule  sections.  Now  is  an  excellent  time  to  take  a 
young  dog  for  preparatory  work  before  the  open 
season  begins.

Treatment  After  Whelping. 

litter  whelping,  bitches  do  not  properly  clean  up 
oody  discharge  is  noticeable,  and  unless 
prompt  attention  is  given,  the  loss  of  the  litter  will 
result  Nature  will  correct  this  matter  by  absorption, 
it  is  true  but  the  poison  being  absorbed  into  the 
system  affects  the  milk,  which  produces  bowel  trouble 
for  the  puppies,  usually  followed  by  death. 

The  proper  treatment  is  an  antiseptic  wash.  Creolm 
answers  the  purpose  very  well.  Dilute  with  water, 
as  per  .iire.  lions  on  package  or  given  by  druggist, 
and  with  a  syringe  thoroughly  wash  the  parts  twice 
a  das  until  the  discharge  ceases.  A  few  doses  of 
:iale  of  soda  in  half  teaspoonful  doses,  morn- 
night,  will  keep  the  milk  in  proper  condition. 
The  soda  may  be  continued  for  a  few  days,  until 
the  discharge  stops.  The  antiseptic  washing  should

The  regular  weekly  shoot  of  the  Eakersfleld  Gun 
Club  on  the  Gth  Inst,  brought  Capt.  Shatter  and  Mr. 
Oswald  to  the  front  with  the  top  scores  for  the  day. 

A  new  feature  at  trap  shooting  was  the  "snipe 
shoot."  This  event  is  a  test  of  a  shooter's  skill  in 
the  field.  In  snipe  shooting  the  shooter,  Instead  of 
standing  behind  the  traps,  gets  out  In  front  and  Is 
required  to  keep  p«  the  move.  He  Is  not  allowed  to 
have  his  gun  to  his  shoulder  and  is  not  supposed  to 
know  when  the  bird  Is  to  be  trapped  or  what  angle 
It  Is  to  be  thrown.  Mr.  Stoner  and  Capt.  Shatter 
were  the  top  notchers  In  the  snipe  hunt. 

The  scores  for  the  day  were:  Shatter,  shot  at  100. 
broke  82:  Oswald  100-80,  Getchell  100-77,  Cartwrlght 
100-74,  Ferguson  60-34,  Jewett  75-46.  Stoner  100-58. 

Two  yards  handicap  26  targets — Shatter  17,  68  per

The  scores  made  by  the  Petaluma  Gun  Club  mem- 
bers on  the  6th  inst.  in  the  club  shoot  at  20  targets

DEER    HUNTING    NOTES, 


The  Watsonville  Rod  and  Gun  Club  held  the  club 
initial  shoot  for  1905  at  the  club  grounds  on  the  6th 
inst. 

The  meeting  was  so  successful  that  another  shoot 
will  be  arranged  to  take  place  in  the  near  future, 
when  it  is  hoped  Work  and  Varien,  the  crack  shots 
of  Monterey  and  Pacific  Grove,  will  be  present. 

The  Gun  Club  is  in  a  flourishing  condition,  and 
its  members  are  looking  forward  with  pleasure  and 
anticipation  to  the  open  season  for  ducks  and  quail. 

The  features  of  the  occasion  were  the  performances 
of  Barker,  Brewington  and  Green  shooting  at  double 
targets.  A  number  of  interested  spectators  were 
present. 

The  main  event  at  20  targets  shows  the  following 
results:  "Doc"  A.  M.  Barker,  San  Jose,  20;  Pearson, 
Salinas,  20;  B.  Freitas,  Salinas,  20;  W.  H.  Greene, 
Pacific  Grove,  19;  Brewington,  Watsonville,  19;  Al- 
ford,  Watsonville,  19;  Baxter,  Watsonville,  19;  Mat- 
thew-s,  Watsonville,  IS;  La  Motte,  San  Jose,  18; 
Holmes,  San  Jose,  IS;  Albright,  Watsonville,  17; 
Bixby,   Watsonville,   15. 


The  gathering  of  target  smashers  at  Ravekes'  road- 
house.  The  Hunter's  Inn,  near  San  Leandro,  last 
Sunday,  was  a  representative  one.  The  main  event 
of  the  day  was  a  merchandise  shoot,  entrance  §1.00, 
shooters  having  the  privilege  of  entering  as  often 
as  they  wished,  best  scores  to  count,  25  possible  being 
the    limit    on    target    handicap    allowance. 

The  main  prize,  a  Remington  gun,  was  w7on  eventu- 
ally by  Fred  Schultz.  Knick,  Pisani  and  Schultz  each, 
scored  25  targets.  The  former  shot  at  27  and  Schultz 
at  26.  In  the  shooting  off  Schultz  broke  25  and  car- 
ried off  the  shooting-iron.  The  other  winners  of 
prizes,  of  value  in  the  order  named,  were:  F\  Knick, 
J.  Pisani,  L.  W.  Harpham,  L.  Hawxhurst,  Lovenson, 
G.  Slyvester,  D.  Daniels,  Dr.  Hutton,  A.  J.  Webb,

Lynch  30-1. 

A  glance  over  the  foregoing  scores  w-ill  make  ap- 
parent that  the  handicaps  were  well  made  as  a  rule, 
for  it  appears  in  several  instances  that  a  shooter 
duplicated  his  first  score  on  the  re-entry.  It  is  also 
noticeable  that  not  a*  single  15  score  was  shot. 


W.  S.  Wattles  received  the  initial  copy  of  the  Inter- 
state program  for  the  big  tournament  at  Ingleside 
next   month. 

The  copy,  we  regret  to  say,  was  not  available  early 
enough  for  review  in  this  column. 


The  program  for  the  Empire  Gun  Club  shoot  on 
September  9th  and  10th  was  to  be  issued  today.  The 
prizes  for  the  merchandise  shoots  are  numerous  and 
embrace  a  variety  of  valuable  and   useful  articles. 


C.  C.  Kubel  of  Marysville  was  the  medal  winner  at 
a  blue  rock  shoot  which  took  place  at  the  recent 
outing  of  the  Ripario  Gun  Club,  an  organization 
composed  of  Sutter  county  sportsmen,  wThose  head- 
quarters  are   at   Marysville. 


A  special  feature  of  the  Union  Gun  Club  shoot  to- 
morrow will  be  the  100  target  contest  for  the  Phil 
B.  Bekeart  perpetual  challenge  cup. 


Pheasants  in  Calaveras  County. 

About  five  years  ago  several  pairs  of  Mongolian 
pheasants  were  turned  loose  in  Calaveras  county  for 
the  purpose  of  propagation.  For  the  last  three  years 
nothing  has  been  heard  of  them  until  one  day  last 
week  when  a  prospector  by  the  name  of  Edmonds, 
who  lives  in  a  cabin  near  the  Easzy  Bird  mine,  dis- 
covered a  couple  of  strange  birds  in  a  small  pine  tree 
near  his  house.  When  he  came  In  town  he  told  of  the 
circumstance,  when  it  was  at  once  known  that  they 
were  pheasants.  The  birds  are':  still  staying  in  that 
locality,  and  have  become  quite  tame,  even  eating 
wheat  and  crumbs  of  -bread  oft  the  cabin  back  porch. 


Clarence  Ashlln,  "Rube"  Haas  and  S.  A.  Wells  pro- 
pose to  start  from  San  Francisco  early  next  month 
for  Gold  Hill,  o  potrrt  on  Rogue  river,  where  the  fish- 
ing Is  said  to  be  first-class. 


Returns  from  many  hunting  sections  indicate  that 
deer  hunters  are  having  much  sport  and  getting  a 
fair  qjota   of  bucks. 

About  Ukiah  and  vicinity  deer  hunting  is  particu- 
larly good.'.  It  is  reported  that  there  are  more  deer 
this  season  than  have  been  '  seen  for  the  Tast  four  . 
years.  The  following  is  only  a  partial  list  of  deer 
-lulled  near  Ukiah  Within  the  last  four  days:  J.  F.  ■ 
Bond,  Capt.  W.  P.  Empey.  Bob  Hutchinson,  Frank" 
Patton,  M.  A.  Powell,  Jesse  Porterfield,  Harry  Malpas, 
Wm.  Eldred,  Paul  Anderson,  Freeman  Parker,  Wm. 
Hildreth,  Ben  Milton,  Walter  Ackerman  and  Sam 
Leese  have  each  secured  a  buck  apiece;  Cox,  Halli- 
day  and  party  got  seven  bucks;  Dr.  Dutton  and  son 
and  Victor  McClure  each  shot  two. 

Several  deer  have  been  seen  in  the  vicinity  of 
Guerneville.  A  few  days  ago  a  party  composed  of 
Messrs.  Klein,  Hetzel  and  Monticelli  Sr.  and  Jr. 
bagged  a  forked  horn  on  Smith  Creek,  near  Guerne- 
ville.  weighing  132  pounds,   dressed. 

Four  bucks  were  jumped  on  the  Country  Club  pre- 
serve this  week.  One  of  the  bucks  was  chased  for 
some  distance,  finally  attempting  to  cut  across  an 
arm  of  Tomales  bay.  The  deer  got  mired  in  the 
tenacious  mud,  the  tide  being  out,  and  before  the 
hunters  could  get  near  and  bag  the  buck,  a  passerby, 
who  saw  the  animal's  predicament,  waded  out  and 
killed  it  with  a.  revolver.  The  stranger  carried  the 
carcass  away  in  triumph,  much  to  the  chagrin  of  the 
hunters. 

Mr.  Louis  Ditzer,  who  has  been  stopping  at  Monte 
Rio,  on  Russian  river,  states  that  two  dogs  have 
been  running  deer,  almost  daily,  in  the  ranges  nearby. 
The  dogs  seem  to  be  either  lost  or  running  wild,  at 
all  events  all  efforts  to  locate  their  owners  have  been 
unavailing.  A  buck,  hard  run  by  these  dogs,  dropped 
from  exhaustion  on  the  county  road  one  day  last 
week.  The  animal  fell  almost  in  front  of  a  passing 
fruit  peddler's  wagon.  The  driver  immediately 
jumped  down  and  pre-empted  the  venison  with  a  large 
jack-knife. 

Two  weeks  ago  a  couple  of  hunters  near  Monte 
Rio  jumped  a  buck.  The  deer  led  them  a  merry  chase 
and  finally  was  brought  to  bay-  in  Bohemian  Grove, 
much  to  the  astonishment  of  Van  Stow  and  several 
other  Bohemians.  The  chef,  taking  in  the  situation, 
sallied  forth  from  the  camp  kitchen,  put  the  deer 
out  of  existence  and  then  promoted  the  venison  to 
the  camp  larder.     Breveted  on  the  field,  as  it  were. 

The  Point  Reyes  Sportsmen's  Club  have  accounted 
for  seven  bucks,  so  far  this  season. 

Santa  Clara  Valley  sportsmen  have  not  lost  many  - 
deer,  if  reports  from  San  Jose  and  other  points  are 
reliable. 

Many  of  the  hundreds  of  sportsmen  who  left  San 
Jose  the  first  week  of  the  season  in  quest  of  deer 
have  returned.  Most  of  them  were  laden  with  spoils  ■; 
of  the  chase  and  bring  favorable  reports  of  present  ^ 
conditions  and  number  of  deer  in  the  stamping 
grounds  of  Santa  Clara  county.  Forty-one  fine  bucks 
have  been  laid  low  during  the  past  few  days  by  San 
Jose  hunters  at  the  Burn  Hills,  Pine  Ridge,  Mount 
Hamilton,  Slate  Springs,  Monterey  county,  Madrone 
Springs,  Black  Mountain,  Santa  Tsabel,  San  Antone, 
Almaden,  Llagas,  Guadalupe,  Loma  Prieta,  Los  Gatos, 
Blue  Ridge,  Coyote,  Uvas,  Smith's  Creek  and  Sara- 
toga. 1 

The  hunters  have  all  returned  within  the  last  few 
days,  and  venison  is  on  the  bill  of  fare  for  their 
friends.  There  are  numberless  hunters  still  ranging 
the  hills  while  only  a  few  have  returned  empty- 
handed.  Frank  Tiernan's  175-pound  buck  remains  the 
largest  killed  so  far  and  will  in  all  probability  be  the 
only  buck  of  that  size  shot  this  season  in  this  vicinity. 

Parties  of  sportsmen  are  leaving  for  the  mountains 
every  day.  They  will  not  be  heard  from  for  some 
time,  as  they  expect  to  be  absent  from  one  to  two 
weeks.  Those  who  have  not  yet  gone  and  who  are 
looking  for  good  hunting  can  do  no  better  than  go 
to  Madrone  Springs,  as  it  is  conceded  to  be  one  of 
the  best  deer  grounds  in  Santa  Clara  county.  For  a 
guide  and  a  hospitable  host  they  will  find  J.  D.  Arnold, 
who  is  able  to  direct  parties  to  the  favorite  hunting 
ground. 

Theodore  Hartman  and  S.  Thompson  brought  back 
three  fine  bucks,  a  spike  and  a  two  and  a  four- 
pointer.  Jack  Condron  killed. a  fine  buck  in  the  Burnt 
Hills  last  week.  Jack  Doble,  Melville  Hall,  Lee  Rid- 
ley and  Charles  Smith  are  still  hunting  in  the  Burnt 
Hills.  Lee  Ridley  has  sent  in  a  four-pointer  and 
Melville  Hall   a   two-pointer. 

John  Hudner  returned  from  Slate  Springs,  Mon- 
terey county,  this  week,  with  two  large  bucks.  Frank 
Bradford,  Sam  Young,  Herbert  Bradford,  William 
Salazar  and  George  Stillwell  killed  a  spike,  a  two- 
pointer  and  a  three-pointer  at  Madrone  Springs. 
George  Cozzens,  F.  Fisher  and  Chester  Fisher  killed 
three  four-point  bucks  at  Bull  Heads,  Canteen 
Springs.  A  two-pointer  and  a  spike  were  killed  near 
Los  Gatos  by  a  local  party  of  hunters  during  the  past 
week. 

Many    local    sportsmen    wish    to    know    at    various 
times  what  is  doing  in  the  -deer  line.     An  additional 
list  of  bucks  "killed  during  the  first  week,  with  their 
■  respective -weights,  as  neaT  as  a  veteran  deer  hunters 
can  estimate,  is  as  foHow-s,  for  Santa  Clara  county.

Team  events,  as  may  be  found  feasible  and  desir- 
able, will  be  arranged  by  the  tournament  committee 
during  the  time  of  the  lournament.  A  salmon  fly- 
casting  event  is  also  contemplated. 

The  contests  are  open  to  all  and  for  world's  cham- 
pionships". 


MIXED  PICKLES. 


Immense  Schools  of  Fish  have  been  seen  during  the 
jpast  week  in  the  ocean  waters  off  the  Golden  Gate 
and  the  adjacent  near-by  shores,  north  and  south. 
Captains  of  coast  craft  state  that  not  in  years  have 
they  seen  so  many  fish  of  different  varieties  off  the 
"heads."  Barracouta,  bonita,  hake,  yellowtail,  quite  a 
few  salmon,  and  many  other  varieties  that  are  found 
near  the  surface.  The  bottom  fish — rock  cod,  floun- 
ders, sea  bass,  king-fish,  etc.,  are  equally  numerous. 
It  has  been  no  effort  at  all  to  take  big  catches  of 
fish  with  hand  lines  put  overboard  from  vessels 
inbound. 

The  fishing  tugs  and  net  men  have  made  prodigious 
hauls  of  the  finny  denizens  of  the  deep. 

What  has  caused  this  unprecedented  congregation 
of  fishes  in  the  locality  mentioned  is  a  puzzler  to  those 
who  have  observed  the  phenomena. 

Whilst  the  fishes  are  frequenting  one  place  in  big 
schools,  it  is  noticed  that  they  are  absent  from  other 
localities.  For  instance,  last  year,  at  this  time,  salt 
ivater  fish,  yellowtail,  striped  bass,  barracouta,  sal- 
i  mon  and  other  varities,  with  an  occasionaly  steel- 
head,  were  taken  plentifully  at  Moss  Landing,  at  the 
mouth  of  the  Salinas  river;  at  this  present  time  the 
fish  are  so  scarce  at  that  point  as  to  excite  notice 
and   comment. 

Bay  fishing,  especially  for  smelts,  has  been  excel- 
lent during  the  week.  Last  Sunday  Wm.  Bay  and  Mrs. 
(.Bay,  in  a  very  short  time,  landed  at  the  Tiburon 
u-harf  70  smelt,  most  of  them  large  sized  fish.  They 
used  light  split  bamboo  rods  and  had  great  sport  in 
landing  the  big  fellows.  Bay  tried  flies  for  a  time, 
Dut  had  to  finally  resort  to  spile  worm  baits. 


A  Battle  With  a  Buck  last  Monday  morning  came 
.•ery  near  resulting  seriously  for  W.  F.  Farley,  who 
s  a  rancher  near  Novate  He  discovered  the  buck 
ndulging  in  a  hearty  morning  breakfast  of  young 
?orn.  A  rifle  shot  dropped  the  marauder.  Farley, 
ngieving  the  deer  was  dead,  dropped  his  gun  and 
■vent  to  gather  in  his  prize.  While  he  was  standing 
n-er  and  looking  at  what  he  thought  was  the  carcass 
)f  a  nice  buck,  the  animal  suddenly  jumped  to  its 
!eet.  Farleyi  on  the  impulse  of  the  moment,  grasped 
:he  buck  by  the  horns  and  then  a  lively  struggle  took 
alace.  The  now  maddened  buck  jumped  about  and. 
jave  the  old  man  (for  Farley  is  60  odd  years  of  age) 
i)l  he  could  do  to  remain  on  his  feet.  Finally,  Farley, 
,vho  was  almost  exhausted,  managed  to  draw  his 
lunting  knife,  which  he  luckily  had  with  him,  and 
iriving  the  blade  home  in  the  proper  spot,  he  soon 
mded  what  might  have  resulted  in  a  death  struggle 
'or  him.  Farley  was  afterwards  found  in  an  ex- 
lausted  condition  and  conveyed  to  his  home.  He 
,vas  resting  easily  at  last  accounts  and  no  serious 
esults  from  the  encounter  are  anticipated.

Santa  Cruz  Rod  and  Gun  Club,  recently  organized 
by  Surf  City  sportsmen,  is  now  permanently  organ- 
ized with  the  following  lists  of  officers:  President, 
Robert  Kelly:  vice-president,  H.  D.  Fagan:  secretary, 
Dr.  E.  E.  Philbrook;  treasurer,  G.  A.  Dieter:  execu- 
tive committee,  M.  Finch,  A.  A.  Jones,  George  Helm 
and  Fred  Kober. 

The  Bald  Knob  Gun  Club  has  been  organized  by 
San  Mateo  county  sportsmen,  with  headquarters  al 
Halfmoon  Bay.  Among  the  members  are  many  busi- 
ness men  and  prominent  citizens  of  that  section.  The 
new  club  has  leased  what  is  known  as  the  Bald  Knot 
country,  seven  miles  south  of  Halfmoon  Bay,  com- 
prising over  1000  acres,  and  it  is  the  intention  to 
keep  the  reserve  for  hunting  purposes  for"  the  mem- 
bers. The  county  leased  is  well  stocked  with  game 
and  much  good  sport  is  looked  forward  to  by  mem- 
bers of  the   club. 


and  southern  Tulare  county.  H.  E.  Ford,  representing 
the  Tule  River  Fishing  and  Shooting  Association,  took 
charge  of  15,000  fry  which  were  subsequently  placed 
in  the  Middle  Tule,  above  the  clubhouse.  X  .\1 
Barnes  received  20,000,  which  he  todk  to  the  reserva- 
tion, and  had  them  placed  in  South  Tule:  J.  Danner 
received  20.000.  which  were  duly  deposited  in  Deer 
Creek  in  the  neighborhood  of  Hot  Springs  and  Lee 
Gill  5.000,  which  lie  placed  in  Bear  Creek  on  North 
Tule. 

Through  the  efforts  of  the  Tule  River  Fishing  and 
Shooting  Association  and  others,  the  streams  of  east- 
ern and  northern  Tulare  county  have  hen  well  stocked 
with  trout,  several  thousands  annually  for  the  last 
five  or  six  years  having  been  distributed  in  the  dif- 
ferent  streams. 

The  result  has  greatly  improved  trout  fishing,  and 
which  will  soon  make  that  section  of  Tulare  county 
the  ideal  spot  for  the  lover  of  fly  fishing. 


TRADE    NOTES.

Anaconda  Anglers  Will  Take  Steps  to  organize  an 
anglers'  club.  The  purpose  of  the  club  being  the 
protection  of  fish  in  the  nearby  lakes  and  streams  and 
the  stocking  of.  the  same  with  trout  fry. 

A  good  deal  of  work  has  been  done  in  that  respect 
this  summer  by  individuals,  but  it  is  seen  that  with 
an  organization  of  sportsmen  much  more  could  have 
been  accomplished. 

Lost  Creek,  Mill  Creek,  Willow  Creek  and  Warm 
Springs  Creek  will  receive  a  new  stock  of  trout  next 
year  and  with  proper  care  these  streams  ought  to  be 
made  the  best  fishing  places  in  Montana.  Trout  fry 
which  have  been  placed  in  the  streams  this  year  will 
be  large  enough  to  catch  next  season.  The  s'ze  of 
the  fish  depends  a  good  deal  upon  feed  which  they 
are  able  to  get.  In  Silver  Lake,  or  Echo  Lake,  a  trout 
fry  will  weigh  two  pounds  in  two  years. 

The  San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club,  it  is  rumored, 
is  contemplating  the  acquisition  of  a  fishing  preserve 
on  the  Truckee  river.  A  section  of  that  grand  trout- 
ing  stream  between  Martis  creek  and  the  "meadow 
pool,"  a  half  mile,  or  so  to  the  east  of  Burkhalter 
station,  is  looked  upon  as  a  desirable  location. 


U.    M.  C.   On   Top. 

Out  of  37  shooters  who  were  present  at  the  San 
Leandro  shoot  last  Sunday.  30  used  U.  M.  C.  ammuni- 
tion. Two  of  the  shooters  who  broke  the  possible 
25   used   L".  M.   C.   shells  and  Remington   hammerless 

ns.  Mr.  Lon  Hawxhurst,  with  a  Remington  gun 
and  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  scored  a  possible  25  twice. 


Recent    Winchester    Wins. 

Ever  hear  of  D.  Wit  Baker?  Well,  every  trap 
shooter  ought  to  know  him,  as  a  man  that  can  shoot 
as  well  as  he  can  is  worth  listening  to.  At  the 
Tarentum  (Pa.)  Gun  Club  shoot,  July  4th,  he  won 
high  general  average,  and  at  Ligonier,  Pa..  July  11 
and  12,  broke  355  targets  out  of  3S0  for  the  two  days, 
an  average  of  93  per  cent.  In  defense  of  this^  high 
score  he  saj-s  proudly  that  he  used  Winchester  factory 
loaded  shells  and  a  Winchester  repeating  shotgun. 

At  Betterton,  Mi,  July  12-14,  L.  German  and  W. 
M.  Ford  won  first  and  second  amateur  averages  re- 
spectively, both  using  Winchester  factory  loaded 
shells. 


Trout    Fry    for   Tulare. 

Sixty  thousand  Eastern  brook  trout  fry  were  re- 
ceived at  Porterville  early  this  month.  The  young 
trout    will   be   distributed    in   the   streams   of   eastern 


A   Popular   Rifle. 

The  famous  Savage  rifles  are  popular  in  every  sec- 
tion of  the  United  States.  These  rifles  fire  rapidly, 
and  the  prices  are  moderate,  especially  the  little  Sav- 
age 22-caliber  Hammerless  Repeater,  which  sells  at 
$14.00,  and  the  Savage  Junior,  22-caliber  single-shot 
rifle,  price  $5.00.  These  rifles  are  for  sale  by  sporting 
goods  dealers  generally,  and  catalogue  may  be  ob- 
tained by  addressing  the  Savage  Arms  Company,  32 
Turner  street.  Utica.  N.  Y. 


STOCK   NOTES. 


Most   diseases   of   stock  are   contag- 
■us,    therefore    it    ia    a    good    plan   to 
;parate  the  sick  from  the  well  to  keep 
sease  from  spreading. 
Probably  the  most  profitable  animal 
'•  raise  Is  the  hog.    The  litter  is  large, 
■ey  are  ready  for  market  early  and 
•e  usually  of  ready  sale. 
It  Is  not  wise  to  discard  a  sow  be- 
,use  she  Is  old,  if  she  is  doing  well, 
iless  her  place  can  be  supplied  by 
lie  which  Is  sure  to  do  better. 
Appearances  pay.     The  sleek,  well- 
oportloned  animal  of  any  kind,  sells 
ostly  readily  and    brings    the    best 
i  Ice,    It  even  pays  the  owner  to  slick 
i  a  little. 
A,  Berub  may  lbok  pretty  well,  but  It 

only  a  scrub,  and  when  compared 
th  a  thoroughbred,  and  what  feed 
11  do  with  a  thoroughbred,  he  cannot 
ind  the  test.    It  don't  pay,  therefore, 

handle  grades. 
31ow   growth   Is   what   makes   stock 


raising  too  slow  for  some.  They  can- 
not get  their  returns  soon  enough.  It 
is  not  the  largest,  nor  the  fattest,  but 
the  animals  that  have  put  it  on  the 
quickest,  that  yield  the  largest  profits. 

The  runt  seldom,  if  ever,  pays.  The 
animal  that  pays  is  the  one  that  gets 
a  good  start  in  the  world  and  keeps  It. 
It  may  pay  to  raise  the  runt  If  feed 
Is  no  item.  If  feed  is  bought,  the  owner 
is  better  off  if  he  is  in,  the  other  man's 
pen. 

Fences  should  be  kept  In  good  con- 
dition. Many  a  rogue  has  been  made 
by  having  poor  fences.  There  are  times 
when  every  animal  is  restless.  If  they 
escape  once,  they  are  much  more  diffi- 
cult to  control,  and  to  confine  than 
before. 

Hogs  need  fresh,  clear  water,  even 
when  they  are  fed  slop. 

Clabber  is  not  as  good  for  growing 
pigs  as  buttermilk,  or  sweet  milk. 

Whole  oats  are  regarded  by  some  as 
an  Ideal  feed  for  swine.  They  waste 
less  when  whole  than  when  ground,

THOMAS    W.    LAWSON'S    FARM. 


For  boldn  i 

Idity  of  creation,  few.  if  any,  farms 
mwold,  the  country-seat  of 
Thomas  W.  Lawson.  Situated  about 
two  hours  by  rail  from  his  beautiful 
home  in  i  he  southern  shore 

s  Bay,  at  a  point  i 
Egypt,  it  comprised  until  a  short  time 
a^ro  some  of  the  most  rugged  and  I 

ground.        Covered 
with  bould  Loose    stone    of    all 

shapes    and    sizes    is    characteristic    of 
the   land    there.;  *' 

ta  original  fo  led  them  to 

such  a  deg]  sc  ircely  a  patch  of 

any  i  admit  of  plow- 

ing.   Briai  s  >  the  chief  vege- 

tation. 

All  these  have  recently  disappeared, 
and  in  their  place  there  is  now  a  flour- 
ishing farm  of  more  than  live  hundred 
acre?.  Truth  to  tell,  it  is  like  a  para- 
dise dropped  there  by  some  propitious 
ty.  From  afar  its  numerous  white 

dings,  compared  with  the  neighbor- 
ing scenery,  look  as  pure  as  ivory,  and 
between  and  beyond  them  on  every 
are  miles  of  fences  overgrown 
with  (in  summer)  blooming  roses. 
These,  together  with  shrubs  and  vines 
Of  all  kinds,  give  the  impression  of  a 
kept  park.  Closer  inspection,  how- 
ever, reveals  the  practical  combined 
with  the  artistic,  and  so  amply  that 
the  whole  forms  almost  an  independent 
township. 

The  meadows  grow  nothing  but  the 
purest  green  grass  or  whatever  other 
crops  they  are  devoted  to,  and  in  the 
paddocks  and  pastures  graze  herds  of 
the  best  horses  and  cattle  that  money 
and  scientific  breeding  can  procure. 
The  poultry  runs  contain  the  finest 
strains  that  can  be  found,  and  there 
are  three  thousand  chickens  of  all 
varieties. 

Dovecotes  have  been  constructed,  in 
which  coo  the  sleekest  of  doves,  and 
on  the  ponds  swim  fat  geese  and 
ducks.  .  Scores  of  dogs  of  high  pedi- 
gree fill  the  kennels,  and  at  the  head 
of  each  department  is  a  skillful  man- 
ager, the  farm  buildings  being  ar- 
ranged upon  a  scale  of  such  amplitude 
as  to  afford  abundant  working  space 
for  the  carrying  out  of  every  detail. 
Among  their  equipment  for  facilitating, 
work  water  is  piped  to  each  of  them 
from  an  immense  tower  built  for  the 
purpose,  and  they  are  also  provided 
with  a  sewerage  system,  said  to  be  the 
most  elaborate  of  the  kind  outside  of 
those  controlled  by  municipalities. 

Warm  water  is  employed  altogether 
for  heating  the  buildings,  and  con- 
nected with  the  stables  are  bright, 
clean,  comfortable  sleeping  apartments 
jnd  separate  kitchens  for  the  men.  A 
watch-clock  system  requires  the 
watchman  to  make  the  rounds  of 
stables,  and  there  is  a  fire  department, 
with  engine,  hook  and  ladder,  hose  reel 
and  fire  squad.  Light  is  supplied  by 
electricity,  the  wires  for  which,  includ- 
ing those  of  a  telephone  system  and 
the    electric    clock,   are   buried    in   lead 

nits.  Nowhere  on  the  farm  stand 
■  unsightly  poles.  True,  the  stand- 
ards for  the  electric  lights  are  cedar- 
tree  trunks,  with  the  limbs  lopped 
about  a  foot  from  the  trunk,  but  on 
these  the  wires  are  so  strung  as  to  be 
unobservable,  while  over  them  and  the 
tree  trunks  ivy  and  roses  clamber  in 
wild   profusion. 

Certainly    Dreamwold,     therefore,    is 

an  appropriate  name  for  the  place,  the 

1 ise    it    is    the   realization    of 

tnbition  felt  by  Its  owner  when  he 
was  a  poor  boy.  Its  location  might 
been  elsewhere,  however,  if  he 
had  not,  while  driving  with  his  wife 
along  the  old  Egypt  road,  come  across 
an    ancient    farm    house,    from    whose 

h    the   grandeur   of   the   view   took 
.such  a  strong  hold  upon  Mrs.  Lawson 
she  wanted  a  home  built  upon  its 
I  ■■     Simultaneously  with  the  expres- 
sion  of   his    wife's    admiration    for    the 
,    there    came    Into    Mr.    Lawson's 

i    his    juvenile    dream    of    a    farm. 

What    if    the    soil    comprising   this    old 

homestead  was  not  of  th- :  arable,  i       jb- 

produclng  sort,  such  as  exists,   for  in- 

■  ,    in    the    blue-grass     region     in 

liCky,  with  which  he  was  familiar? 
was  one  thing  in   its  favor.     It 

near  enough  to  Boston  so  that  he 

1    ■  it  his  home  during  certain 

seasons   of   the    year,    or   all    the   year 

J,   if  he  chose,  and  on  his  way  to 

or    from    the    train    have    time    to    pat 

horses  or  whistle  to  the  dogs    In- 

.  this  privilege  was  one  of  the  most 
vital  parts  of  his  dream.  Why,  then. 
not  buy  this  place?  His  wife  wanted 
it,  and  here,  even  if  It  should  cost  a 
little  extra,  he  could  carry  out  his 
long-cherished    project.      He    did    pur- 


tract,  despite  its  sterility 
and  uninviting  appearance,  and  every- 
thing adjoining  it. 

Forthwith  he  got  together  contract- 
ors irchitects  and  landscape  garden- 
and  while  these  performed  the 
nical  part  he  furnished  the  ideas. 
In  a  short  time  a  thousand  laborers, 
with  one-fifth  their  number  of  horses, 
put  to  work,  and  just  to  clear 
those  five  hundred  acres  of  rocks  cost 
upwards  of  $200,000.  A  large  portion 
of  them  went  into  the  construction  of 
macadamized  roads,  driveways  and 
lanes,  and  a  wonderfully  elaborate 
drainage  system;  the  cobbles  of  cer- 
tain sizes  were  used  for  gutter  pav- 
ing. The  aim  was  to  have  all  the  work 
proceed  in  unison  without  necessitat- 
ing rehandling,  and  so  well  was  this 
carried  out  that  at  the  end  of  a  little 
more  than  two  years  from  the  com- 
mencement of  operations  Dreamwold 
Farm  made  its  appearance  practically 
as  it  stands  today,  at  the  cost  of  over 
a  million  dollars.  A  half  million  more 
has  since  been  added  in  ornamenting 
the  estate  here  and  there  and  in  stock- 
ing it  with  horses,  cattle,  dogs,  fowls, 
pigeons  and  the  like. 

The  largest  building  on  the  place  is 
the  training  stable.  It  has  a  frontage 
of  eight  hundred  feet,  with  accommo- 
dations for  one  hundred  horses,  and 
was  completed  in  seventy-two  work- 
ing days.  Another  large  structure  is 
the  riding  academy  or  exercise  ring. 
This  was  built  in  fifty-six  days.  Sev- 
enty-five days  were  required  to  finish 
three  stables  devoted  to  brood  mares, 
and  ninety  days  to  erect  and  polish  oft 
eight  other  stables.  Connected  with 
these  there  is  a  mile  race  track,  a 
training  track  and  a  polo  field. 

At  the  head  of  the  breeding  stud  is 
the  magnificent  black  stallion  Dare 
Devil  (2:09).  It  is  claimed  that  Mr. 
Lawson  paid  C.  J.  Hamlin  $50,000  for 
him.  Likewise  did  he  pay  $7500  for 
Flying  Fox,  which  is  the  record  price 
for  a  Jersey  bull,  although  there  are 
others  that  have  sold  much  higher  pri- 
vately. Some  promising  specimens  of 
Jerseys  have  already  been  obtained  by 
mating  this  animal  with  the  choice 
cows  on  the  farm,  and  especially  with 
Figgis,  which  won  the  grand  champion- 
ship for  aged  cows  at  the  St.  Louis 
Exposition  last  year. 

Unlike  most  of  her  companions,  Fig- 
gis is  American  bred.  She  was  dropped 
May  9,  1S91,  her  sire  being  Sophy's 
Tormentor  (No.  20SS3),  and  her  dam 
Birdseye  Surprise  (No.  48326),  whose 
record  was  14  1-S  pounds  of  butter.  In 
six  months  after  dropping  her  second 
calf  Figgis  gave  7442  pounds  S  ounces 
of  milk,  equivalent  to  44S  pounds  of 
butter.  She  subsequently  gave  fifty 
pounds  7  ounces  of  milk  in  one  day, 
and  in  seven  days  329  pounds  4  ounces, 
which -tested  19  pounds  15  ounces  of 
butter.  Her  milk  record  for  one  year 
is  an  ounce  of  7444  pounds,  or  472.95 
pounds  of  butter.  In  four  years  she 
produced  25,172  pounds  3  ounces  of 
milk,  or  1,593.30  pounds  of  butter.  She 
is  kept  under  the  same  conditions  and 
treated  exactly  in  the  same  way  as  the 
other  cows  on  Dreamwold  Farm. 

The  sanitary  conditions  of  their 
quarters,  of  course,  are  of  the  very 
best,  the  presence  of  running  water 
and  arrangements  for  washing  and 
flushing  making  it  possible  for  cleanli- 
ness always  to  be  observed.  The  cows 
are  never  forced,  however,  it  being 
preferable  to  have  a  fair  production 
and  good  health  than  high  milk  and 
butter  records  and  ruined  constitutions. 

Their  grain  ration  consists  of  a  mix- 
ture of  bran,  ground  oats  and  oil  meal. 
They  get  corn  ensilage  once  a  day,  and 
are  fed  fine  English  hay  or  clover  hay, 
whichever  happens  to  be  in  stock. 
Every  day  they  are  turned  out  for  ex- 
ercise, but  in  the  coldest  weather  no 
longer  than  is  essential  for  good  health 
and  condition. 


Activity  in  the  stock  market  brings 
with  it  the  schemers  connected  with 
the  business.  The  old  games  of  selling 
cheap  stock  at  high  prices  is  being 
practiced.  Some  unknown  party  will 
appear  bringing  handsome  males,  and 
produce  a  long  pedigree  and  demand 
for  a  fancy  price.  Too  often  he  gets 
It  The  only  safe  way  to  buy  a  good 
animal  is  to  get  a  good  judge  of  the 
kind  wanted  to  go  to  a  reliable  breeder 
who  has  a  reputation  to  make  or  to 
keep,  and  buy  what  is  wanted.  The 
purchaser  would  better  go  with  the 
expert. 


When  rearing  a  calf  It  should  be  re- 
membered that  it  is  to  occupy  the  posi- 
tion of  a  money-maker  after  a  while, 
and  should  be  so  treated  that  it  may 
make  as  much  for  us  as  possible. 


CLEAN    FOOD    FOR   THE    HOGS. 


In  the  last  issue  of  The  Journal  we 
spoke  of  the  necessity  of  clean  water 
for  the  hogs,  and  in  this  we  will  treat 
on  the  advantages  Of  clean  food. 

Because  a  hog  will  eat  almost  any- 
thing that  is  given  him  when  he  is 
hungry  is  hardly  a  sufficient  reason 
why  he  should  be  given  filthy  food.  It 
is  too  often  the  case  that  what  is  not 
considered  tit  food  for  any  other  class 
of  stock  on  the  farm  is  given  to  the 
hogs  in  order  to  save  it.  And  not  only 
is  it  often  the  case  that  the  food  given 
is  filthy,  but  it  is  given  under  filthy 
conditions.  The  feeding  troughs  and 
places  are  allowed  to  accumulate  filth, 
and  if  the  hog  stands  it  well  and  good; 
if  he  succumbs  to  it  and  dies,  bad 
luck  is  the  cause  and  a  new  start  of 
hogs  is  made,  but  it  is  only  in  excep- 
tional cases  that  an  improvement  is 
made  in  the  treatment.  Filth  breeds 
disease,  and  in  a  majority  of  cases  the 
man  who  keeps  his  hogs  healthy  keeps 
them  clean  first,  and  feeds  them  clean 
food.  One  item  in  supplying  clean  food 
is  to  have  the  troughs  and  feeding 
floors  clean.  In  many  cases  a  good 
scrubbing  will  be  necessary,  while  in 
others  a  good  sweeping  will  answer. 
A  sprinkle  of  lime  or  air-slacked  lime 
into  which  a  small  quantity  of  carbolic 
acid  has  been  mixed  will  help  purify- 
ing the  feeding  floors  and  troughs. 

If  slop  is  fed  care  should  be  taken 
to  feed  it  clean,  and  to  keep  the  vessels 
clean.  Clean  slop  is  a  healthy,  nutri- 
tious food,  and  can  always  be  fed  to 
growing  pigs  to  advantage.  But  slop 
is  too  often  considered  all  the  waste 
about  the  house  and  barn.  If  there  is 
only  mouldy  oats  or  bran,  partly-rotted 
corn  or  decaying  vegetables,  they  are 
thrown  to  the  hogs  or  made  into  slop. 

Instead  of  hogs  being  made  the  scav- 
engers of  the  farm  they  should  be 
gleaners.  Whatever  is  not  fit  to  be 
converted  into  human  food  through 
the  hog  should  be  buried  or  turned  into 
the  compost  heap,  and  if  this  plan  is 
followed  much  better  health  will  be 
readily  maintained.  But  the  cleanli- 
ness must  not  only  apply  to  food,  but 
tc  the  quarters,  also,  if  the  best  health 
is  to  be  maintained  and  the  best  qual- 
ity of  product  secured. 

To  some  extent,  at  least,  the  quality 
of  the  meat  is  affected  by  what  the 
animals  eat,  and  to  secure  the  best 
health  and  at  the  same  time  the  best 
quality  of  meat,  the  food  must  be 
wholesome,  clean  and  nutritious,  and  in 
many  cases  a  little  more  care  in  this 
respect  would  not  only  lessen  the 
losses,  but  improve  the  breed. 


TO  PRODUCE  BUFF  COLOR. 


It  is  safe  to  presume  that  there  is  no 
color  of  a  fowl  so  hard  to  produce  and 
maintain  as  the  buff  color.  There  is 
but  one  true  buff  color.  Lemon  shade 
is  not  buff;  a  red  or  cinnamon  color  is 
not  buff;  neither  is  a  reddish  brown  a 
buff;  the  true  shade  is  "golden  buff." 
The  term  used  for  standard  buff  color 
is  "one  even  shade  of  rich,  golden  buff, 
free  from  shaftings  or  mealy  appear- 
ance." This  is  simply  a  true  rich  buff 
of  golden  hue.  Many  produce  a  thin, 
uneven  shade  of  lemon  yellow  and  call 
it  buff,  while  others  favor  a  deep  or- 
ange buff  or  cinnamon  color  and  pre- 
sent it  as  the  true  shade  for  buff. 
These  are  not  the  true  golden  buff. 

The  proper  shade  or  buff,  say,  is  a 
mixture  of  yellow,  red,  and  white,  or  a 
combination  of  yellow  and  pink.  This 
is  absolutely  true  when  mixing  colors 
on  the  palette,  but  many  years  of  ex- 
perience have  proved  that  it  is  far 
more  difficult  to  control  the  color  of 
plumage  than  to  properly  mix  the 
paints.  It  is  easy  to  say:  Keep  out 
the  black  or  drive  out  the  white.  But 
it  appears  when  least  expected.  Buff 
is  a  made  color — it  is  not  natural  color 
— and  there  is  but  one  rule  for  its  cer- 
tain production,  and  that  is  the  union 
of  the  truest  color  possible  to  obtain, 
year  after  year,  until  a  strain  is  estab- 
lished  that   will   breed  true  to  color. 

A  continued  system  of  inbreeding  for 
good,  sound  plumage  color  has  many 
drawbacks.  Reduction  of  size  and 
loss  of  form  are  the  most  serious.  To 
obviate  this,  new  blood  must  be  intro- 
duced from  time  to  time,  the  admission' 
of  which  brings  with  it  more  or  less 
disturbance  of  color  lines,  causing  a 
continual  oscillation  between  good 
color  and  good  form.  One  of  the  prin- 
cipal assurances  of  good  color  Is  the 
proper  undercolor  and  color  of  shaft- 
ing or  quills — all  of  which  should  be 
buff  to  the  skin  and  of  a  shade  some- 
what lighter  than  surface  color.  What- 
ever the  shade  of  buff  may  be,  let  It 


be  even  and  true  all  over  and  throuj 
and  through. 

It  is  not  advisable  to  mate  light  ai 
dark  specimens;  the  result  will  be 
mealiness  in  plumage  of  chicks.  Tl 
very  best  selection  is  of  females  havii 
the  true  golden  buff,  and  of  mal 
whose  breast  color  is  one  or  two  shad 
darker  than  the  females,  all  to  be  ve 
even  in  color  and  free  from  any  shai 
other  than  the  buff.  Black  and  whi 
should  be  avoided.  If  white  is  pre 
ent,  it  is  quite  likely  to  show  in  unde 
color^  and  on  ■  wings  of  the  offsprin 
Black  will  show  in  the  wings  and  ta 
Both   are   equally  objectionable;

THE    PRICE   OF   WOOL. 


K 


The  newspapers  of  the  country  are 
isjussing^  the  px-ice  of  wool  'and  trying 
o  find  out  why  our  people  are  getting 
uch  good  prices.  We  can  assign  but 
ne  reason,  the  demand  in  the  world's 
larkets.  Writers  assign  various  rea- 
ons  for  this.  M.  M.  Price,  commercial 
gent  at  Jares  del  la  Frontera,  Spain, 
rites  to  the  consular  department  at 
Washington  as  follows: 

The  attention  of  European  sheep 
reeders  is  being  called  to  the  present 

2  andition  of  the  wool  market.  For  35 
\v  40  years  the  price  of  wool  had  con- 
nually  fallen  so  that  from  1S95  to 
JOQ-it  ..had  decreased-  50  .per-cent.be- 
>w  that  of  1S70  and  1S75.  Recently  a 
se  in  „  price  has  taken  place  in  the 
drld's  market.     The  fall  in  price  was 

■Itributed   principally   to    the   extraor- 
nary  development  of  wool  production 

J  i  Australia,  Cape  of  Good  Hope,  Ar- 
ntina  and  Uruguay.     These  countries 

MfOdu<red    about    197,000,000    pourid     in 

f70,  253,000,000  in  1880,  and  360J000;O00 
unds  in  1889.     This  rapid  increase  of 
-oduction  enormously  augmented  im- 
portation   into    industrial    countries.. 
i^'-Some  years  ago  there  began-.a  prot 
ressive  decrease  of  the  flocks,  in .  Eu- ■ 
,  ,,'pean  nations.     In  30  years*  there-  had 
:en  a  decrease  of  34,000,000  sheep   in 
e   flocks   of    England,    France,'   Ger-- 
ij  iany,    Austria -Hungary    .  and      Spain, 
ijae  sheep  in  Australia  decreased  from 
8,000,000  in  1870  to  74,000,000  in.  1898.. 
J  le   importation   of  wool   into    Europe 
i^fen    Australia,    Cape    of  .Good    Hope, 
r.^-gentina  and  Uruguay,  amounted    to 
^.,'83,000  bales,  2,494,000  bales,  2,445,000 
rji-Ies,  2,245,000  bales  and  2,045,000  bales 
1   1895,    1901,   1902,   1903.  and   1904  -re- 
.  ^ectively.     The     price  .  of     wool    .has 
readily    risen    since    1901,"  and  -in  'the. 
;^se   of  wool      called     "cruzados"      or 
r  t'rossed"   the  price   has   increased  - 100 
jj  jr  cent  in  the  London  .market;     This 
ie  is  due  to  the  diminished  ptoduc-- 
n.  ■  ■  .  -  '      -  - 

■From    1S40   to    1892    the   number   of 
eep  bred  in  Australia,  Tasmania  and 
■w  Zearand  increased  with  extraordi- 
nary rapidity,  their  numbers  then  be- 
lj  a  to   shrink,   and   from   189,8  to   1904 
decrease  has  been  enormous.     The 
.stralian  flocks  decreased  from  125,- 
,j  1,000    in    1S92    to    111.000,000    in   1897, 
1*000,000    in    189S,    92,000,000    in     1902 
l]  i    73,000,000    in    1902.    .  The   frequent 
]  mths  were  the  principal  cause  of  this 
jrease  of  50,000,000  sheep  from  1892 
1903.     On  account  of  this  fact  it  is 
.bable  that- the  rise  in  price  of  wool 
1   continue.      Thirty    years    ago    the 
intries     named     bred     only     Merino 
ep  for  fine  wool,  but  afterward  the 
wers   crossed   the   breed   with  .Eng- 
i   sheep   of   long,    coarse   wool,    until 
p_theproportion_JDf  mixed  wool  ex- 
ids  50  per  cent  of  the  whole.    Hence

NDLING    THE    CREAM     SEPAR- 
ATOR. 


Fe  have  several  times  published  in- 
actions   in    regard    to    cleaning   and 
dling  cream  separators,  which  have 
ie  into  general  use  in   farm   dairy- 
fi     It  is  an  important  matter,  and  we 
— fh  the  following  on  the  subject  from 
rijtl  Journal    and    Creamery    Reporter, 
ujjfch   says: 
r  the  mechanical  care  of  a  separator 

\ 


Tiportant  as  affecting  its  durability, 

sanitary    care    of    the    machine    is 

fbly   so,    as    affecting   the   purity    of 

1  produce   which    passes   through   it. 

fit — one    of   the   best   and    purest    of 

tixan    foods — is   one   of   the    quickest 

become   unfit   for   food  if   it  is  not 

clean  and  handled   in   clean  ves- 

While  the  purchaser  of  a  separ- 

I'   has    been    again    and    again    im- 

sed  with  the  idea  that  it  must  be 

:  in  perfect  order,  the  same  agent 

told  him  that  the  parts  which  come 

o'ntact  with  the  milk  did  not  need 

e  washed  oftener  than'  once  a  day 

that  the  cream  would  be  delivered 

'.  a  week. 

is  right  here   that  the  advantage 

he   hand    separator    to    the   farmer 

turn  to  naught  unless  cleanliness, 

■h  is  so  essential  to  purity  of  pro- 

and  to  profit  in  business,  is  thor- 

ily  impressed  upon  the  user.     It  is 

enough   to  rinse   the   machine   out 

a  little   warm    water   and    let    it 

i  until  next  time,  for  the  slime  and 

particles    of    unclean    matter    in 

milk  that  are  caught  and  held  in 

)Owl  are  at  just  the  right  tempera- 

to  decay,   and  an  evil  smell  soon 

lops.     The  machine  must  be  well

washed  after  every  separation  of  milk. 
There  are  some  things  about  washing 
vessels  which  come  in  contact  with 
milk  that  the  average  housewife  needs 
to  learn. 

The  dishcloth  as  found  in.  the  aver- 

j  age   kitchen   should   never  be   used   on 

j  dairy  utensils.  It  is  the  exception 
where  one  will  be  found  to  smell 
sweetly  an  hour  after  it  has  been  used; 
and  yet  milk  utensils  are  often  washed 
with  it  and  wiped  with  a  towel  that 
has  done  duty  on  all  of  the  china  and 

,  glassware  of  the  household,  and,  pos- 
sibly, the  pots  and  kettles,  before  the 
tinware  of  the  separator  is  touched. 
Discard  the  dishcloth  and  the  dish 
towel  while  .  milk  utensils  are  being 
washed.  "Wash  them  in  warm  water 
first,  with  plenty  of  some  washing 
compound,  and  use  a  brush  to  do  the 

;  work,  but  never  a  rag.  Get  into  every 
part  of  them,  after  which  rinse  off 
with  clean,  warm  water,  and  then 
either    put    them    in    boiling    water   or 

;  pour  boiling  water  over  them.  Stand 
the  parts  up  so  that  they  will  drain, 
and  use  no  cloth  to  wipe  them.  The 
hot  surface  will  dry  them  quickly,  and 
they  will  be  clean.  Leave  the  parts  In 
a  sunshiny  place  if  possible.  This  may 
seem  to  be  putting  too  much  str.ess.  on 

'  the  case/  but  evidence  gathered  in  the 
field  shows  the  need  of  some  vigorous 
words  along  this  line.  The  outside 
of  the  frame,  which  does  not  come  in 
contact  with  the  milk,  also  needs  scru- 
pulous care.  Cases  have  been  noted 
where  the  color  of  the  machine  could 
scarcely  be  distinguished  because  of 
the  grease  and  dirt  or  dried  milk  cov- 
ering the  paint.  Pure  cream  could 
hardly  be  expected  to  come  from  such 
a  place.  It  is  pleasant  to  know  that  at 
more  than  three-fourths  or  the  farms 
visited  the  s  arators  were  well  kept 
and  the  people  were  trying  to  do  the 
best  they,  knew  how.  There  was,  how- 
ever, a  great  lack  of  knowledge. 


Young  cows  do  not  always  pay  the 
first  time  they  are  fresh.  But  as  their 
habits  as  milk  cows  are  being  estab- 
lished, they  should  be  milked  as  long 
as  possible.  "Whatever  they  are  taught 
to  do  during  their  first  year  they  will 
probably  do  during  the  succeeding 
years  of  their  milk  life. 

o 

Usually  the  young  cow  is  not  through 
growing  during  her  first  milking  per- 
iod, and  should  have  plenty  of  good, 
suitable  food,  that  her  frame  may  con- 
tinue its  growth.

It  is  the  blood  that  tells,  whether  it 
be  in  a  cow,  a  horse,  a  sheep .  or  a 
hog.  •  Predisposition  shows  Itself  all 
the  way  through.  If  there  is  one,  not 
up  to  the  others  in  some  desirable 
quality,  that  is  an  indication  that  that 
one  should  not  be  saved  for  breeding. 

No  feed  is  fed.  to  greater  advantage 
than  full  rations  to  any  animal  that 
may  be  raising,  its  young.  She  may 
eat  twice  as  much,  and  may  seem  al- 
ways to  be  hungry,  still  give  her  all 
she  will  consume,  and  the  returns  and 
her  well-raised  young  will  yield  ample 
returns. 


It  has  been  demonstrated  that  the 
fall  of  the  year  is  the  best  in  which 
to  have  cows  come  fresh.  It  is  then 
that  they  are  receiving  the  best  of  at- 
tention and  that  they  have  a  season 
exempt  from  the  trying  nuisance  of 
flies,  which  probably  reduces  the  flow 
of  milk  as  much  "as^dh'e  thing  could.

PHOTOGRAPH  of  DAN  PATCH  1:56  "noneO®  WONDERFUL  MILES 

This  Engraving;  was  made  from  a  Photograph  taken  of  Dan  Patch  in  one  of  his  Marvelous  Speed  Exhibitions.  It  shows  Dan  Flying  Through  The  Air  with  every  foot  off  of  the  ground,  and 
is  as  natural  and  life-like  as  if  you  saw  him  in  one  of  his  sensational  miles.  You  will  notice  that  Dan  Patch  is  pacing  in  his  smooth  and  majestic  manner,  while  the  three  runners  are  urged 
on  by  voice  and  whip  iu  their  tremendous  efforts  necessary  to  keep  up  with  Dan  in  his  record-breaking  miles.  This  picture  shows  exactly  the  way  Dan  makes  his  exhibition  miles.  The 
runners  are  used  to  stimulate  Dan  to  greater  efforts,  because  he  goes  faster  when  he  has  a  horse  to  beat.  Dan  wants  and  enjoys  a  close  and  exciting  race,  and  he  will  not  pace  his  fastest  clip 
unless  he  is  in  company.    No  trotter  or  pacer  can  go  fast  enough  so  we  use  high  bred  running  horses.    <5TWaich  For  Dan's  Exhibition  Dates  This  Fall.     He  Is  Faster  Than  Ever.

San  Francisco,   Saturday,  August  26,  1905. 

THE  SECOND  BREEDERS'  FUTURITY,  which 
was  for  foals  of  1902,  all  the  divisions  of  which  have 
now  been  decided,  developed  two  noteworthy  features. 
The  entries  and  payments  were  so  numerous  that 
the  stake  exceeded  its  guaranteed  valuation  of  $6000 
by  over  $1500,  after  all  expenses  of  advertising,  etc., 
were  paid,  and  it  brought  out  the  grandest  lot  of 
trotting  and  pacing  youngsters  seen  in  California 
for  years.  At  San  Jose  last  year  the  two-year-old 
divisions  were  trotted  and  paced.  The  pacing  division 
had  three  starters,  Delilah  by  Zolock,  Mona  Wilkes 
by  Demonio,  and  Roberta  by  Robert  I.  Delilah  won 
and  took  a  record  of  2:16%  in  the  second  heat.  This 
was  the  fastest  heat  paced  by  a  two-year-old  in  1904. 
Mona  "Wilkes  took  a  record  of  2:17%  later  in  the 
year,  and  Roberta  one  of  2:19%.  The  trotting  division 
had  eight  starters.  It  was  a  fast  race  for  colts  and 
fillies  of  that  age.  North  Star  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
won  the  first  heat  in  2:24  and  got  second  money, 
Bellemont  by  Zombro  won  the  next  two  in  2.22% 
and  2:21%  and  took  first  money,  Ambush  by  Zolock 
got  third  money  and  Alhasham  by  Athadon  fourth 
money.  Gluck  by  Zombro,  El  Rey  by  Nushagak, 
Mamohio  by  Demonio  and  Elma  S.  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes  finished  in  the  order  named,  and  none  were 
outside  the  flag.  At  the  close  of  the  season  the 
records  of  these  two -year- olds  were  as  follows: 
Belemont,  2:20%:  North  Star,  2:24;  Ambush.  2:20, 
Athasham,  2:20,  and  the  others  had  worked  heats 
around  2:20,  but  failed  to  get  records.  This  year 
the  three-year-olds  of  this  stake  came  out  for  the 
money.  The  result  of  the  stake  events  at  Santa  Rosa, 
where'  the  Breeders'  meeting  was  held,  appear  in  the 
columns  of  this  journal.  There  were  five  starters 
in  the  pacing  division.  Mona  Wilkes,  second  in  the 
two-year-old  pace  last  year,  won  this  year  and  took 
a  record  of  2:11%.  Mamonio  that  started  as  a  trotter 
last  year  and  failed  to  get  any  money,  was  shifted  to 
the  lateral  gait  this  season,  won  two  heats  and  second 
money  and  took  a  record  of  2:14%.  Just  It,  a  very 
fast  colt,  was  third.  The  race  took  five  heats  to 
decide.  The  three-year-old  trot  is  fully  described  in 
another  part  of  this  issue.  Five  of  the  eight  that 
started  last  year  were  again  competitors  and  Ken- 
neth C,  a  non-starter  of  last  year,  was  added  to 
them,  making  a  field  of  six.  Again  was  the  time  fast. 
and  the  Nutwood  Wilkes  colt  North  Star  won  in 
straight  heats  in  the  fastest  time  ever  trotted  in  a 
stake  race  in  California — 2.13%,  2:13%  and  2:16.  As 
in  the  two-year-old  trot,  not  a  colt  was  behind  the 
flag.  The  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  has  been  a  great 
thing  for  California  breeders,  and  it  will  grow  greater 
as   the   years    go   by. 


THE  STATE  FAIR  will  open  Saturday  next,  and 
what  a  change  there  is  in  the  sentiment  of  the  people 
of  the  State  of  California  toward  the  association  un- 
der whose  auspices  it  is  given  from  that  of  last  year. 
Then  it  was  the  opinion  of  many  that  no  more  State 
Fairs  would  be  held,  but  there  was  too  much  of  good 
about  the  time-honored  institution  to  allow  a  year 
or  two  of  bad  luck  and  mistakes  to  kill  It,  so  the 
Legislature  permitted  the  State  Agricultural  Society 
to  sell  the  old  grounds,  which  were  too  small,  and  to 
purchase  other  and  more  spacious  grounds  further 
out  from  the  business  center  of  Sacramento.  The 
sale  of  the  old  track,  and  a  generous  appropriation 
by  the  Legislature  has  put  the  society  entirely  out 
of  debt  and  paid  for  many  new  and  substantial  build- 
ings on  the  new  grounds,  which  are  planned  to  be 
the  best  appointed  fair  grounds  in  the  United  States. 
Instead  of  any  ill  feeling  being  felt  against  the  di- 
rectorate every  taxpayer  and  breeder  in  California 
interested  in  fairs  is  now  speaking  a  good  word  for 
that  body  and  is   doing  all  he  can  to  help  make  the 


fair  of  1905  a  success  in  every  way.  The  cattle  and 
horse  breeders  of  the  Coast  will  make  the  finest  and 
largest  exhibit  of  fine  cattle  and  draft  horses  ever 
seen  this  side  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  pavilion 
exhibit  will  be  something  different  than  ever  before, 
nearly  twenty  counties  of  the  State  making  extensive 
exhibits  of  their  products  under  the  auspices  of  the 
order  of  Native  Sons,  for  four  grand  prizes  offered 
by  the  Society.  These  prizes  are  $500  for  first,  $250 
for  second,  $150  for  third  and  $100  for  fourth.  Ad- 
mission to  the  pavilion  will  be  free.  There  will  be 
but  one  admission  at  the  track,  which  will  enable  all 
to  see  the  races  and  the  stock  parades  for  one  fee. 
It  will  be  the  greatest  fair  that  has  been  held  on  the 
Coast  for  many  years.  Don't  miss  it,  and  be  there 
Saturday.  September  2d,  the  opening  day  to  see  the 
Occident  Stake  trotting". 


AMONG  THE  FOALS  of  1905  there  will  be  several 
with  speed  enough  at  two  and  three  years  of  age  to 
win  a  lot  of  money  if  they  are  eligible  to  start  in  any 
of  the  divisions  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  for  foals  of 
this  year.  There  is  a  third  payment  of  $5  due  next 
Friday,  September  1st,  on  foals  entered  in  this  stake. 
If  you  have  an  entry  see  that  it  is  paid  up  on,  as 
there  is  no  possible  chance  to  win  any  part  of  the 
money  unless  payments  are  all  made.  If  you  have  no 
entry,  but  own  a  foal  of  this  year  that  you  would 
like  to  name  in  this  stake,  send  in  an  application  to 
Secretary  Kelley  at  this  office  immediately  as  there 
are  a  few  nominators  whose  foals  have  died,  or  whose 
mares  failed  to  produce,  that  will  be  willing  to  sell 
their  nominations.  The  great  ambition  of  every 
breeder  should  be  to  own  a  stake  winner,  as  nothing 
adds  to  the  reputation  and  value  of  stallions  and 
brood  mares  like  the  winning  of  prominent  stakes  by 
their  produce.  There  are  many  colts  trained  every 
year  in  California  and  elsew^here  whose  owners  would 
willingly  pay  five  times  the  amount  of  the  entrance 
money  could  they  by  so  doing  make  their  colts  eligible 
to  start  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity,  but  because  they 
failed  to  enter  originally  or  to  keep  up  their  pay- 
ments their  colts  are  barred  from  winning  anything 
but  a  few  paltry  purses.  The  payments  on  the 
Futurity  for  foals  of  this  year  are  small  and  not 
numerous.  The  stake  is  guaranteed  to  be  worth 
$7000.  It  will  not  be  worth  a  cent  less,  and  it  may, 
like  the  stake  decided  this  year,  be  worth  a  thousand 
or  two  more  than  the  guaranteed  amount.  Breeders 
should  not  permit  their  payments  to  lapse,  and  those 
who  failed  to  enter  should  apply  for  nominations 
immediately.  Don't  let  the  date  of  payment,  Friday. 
September   1st,   slip  your  memory. 


THOSE  WHO  DID  NOT  make  an  original  entry 
in  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  Stakes  No.  5  for 
foals  born  this  year,  can  purchase  from  nominators 
whose  mares  failed  to  foal  or  whose  foals  died,  an 
entry  in  this  rich  stake,  and  $12,  which  is  the  amount 
of  the  previous  payments  and  the  payment  dile  on 
September  1st,  will  buy  the  entry  and  keep  the  colt 
in  to  February  1st,  1906.  Send  the  entry,  giving  color 
and  sex  of  the  foal  with  name  of  sire  and  dam  to 
F.  W.  Kelley.  secretary,  36  Geary  street,  San  Fran- 
cisco. As  there  are  but  a  fewr  nominations  for  sale 
and  it's  "first  come,  first  served,"  those  who  wish  to 
take  advantage  of  this  opportunity  should  do  so  at 
nee. 


READVILLE    RACES. 


The  Grand  Circuit  meeting  of  the  New  England 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  cut  down  from 
five  to  two  days  on  account  of  the  law  prohibiting 
betting  on  the  events,  opened  on  Tuesday  of  this 
week  with  beautiful  weather  and  the  track  excep- 
tionally fast.  As  the  races  were  all  for  the  stakes 
which  closed  early,  the  number  of  starters  was  not 
any  smaller  on  account  of  the  prohibition  of  pool 
selling,   and   about   five   thousand   people   attended. 

The  real  race  of  the  afternoon  was  in  the  2.14  trot, 
known  as  'The  Ponkapoag."  Another  feature  was  the 
fast  mile  paced  by  Audubon  Boy  in  exhibition. 

'This  pacer  was  scheduled  for  a  three-cornered 
match  race  with  Ecstatic  and  Belle  Mc,  but  the 
owners  of  the  latter  horses  failed  to  post  their  stakes 
and  so  the  event  was  called  off.  On  this  account 
Audubon  Boy  was  brought  out  and  stepped  a  mile  in 
2:01  4-5,  the  fastest  mile  of  this  season.  The  frac- 
tional time  of  the  mile  was  0:31%,  1:03%.  1:33%. 
2:01  4-5,  making  the  last  half  in  0:58%  and  the  last 
quarter  in  0:28%.  There  is  no  doubt  as  to  the  stal- 
lion's ability  to  pace  a  mile  in  two  minutes. 

Deleree  was  favorite  for  the  "Blue  Hill"  and  the 
mare  took  the  race  in  straight  heats  in  a  field  of 
twelve  starters.  There  was  an  upset  in  "The  Ponka- 
poag" when  Glenwood  M.,  the  selection  of  the  regu- 
lar followers  of  the  circuit,  was  beaten  by  Ethel's 
Pride,  four  heats  being  necessary.  Glenwood  M.  won 
the  first  heat  in  a  close  finish  with  Turley,  a  quarter 
of  a  second  being  clipped  off  his  record.  Ethel's 
Pride  won  the  second  heat  in  a  drive  in  the  fast  time 
of  2:07%.     The  mave  continued  her  good  work  in  the 


next  two  heats,  winning  them  both  very  handily. 

The  American  Horse  Breeder's  Futurity  for  t\« 
year-old  trotters,  went  to  Noma,  a  filly  by  Walnut 
Hall,   her  miles  being  trotted  in   2:19  and   2.20%. 

Admiral  Dewey,  son  of  Bingen  and  Nancy  Hanks, 
was  driven  by  his  owner,  Dr.  McCoy,  against  his 
record  of  2:09%.  The  handsome  young  horse  trotted 
the  mile  in  2:06%  and  it  is  thought  he  will  shade 
2:05   before   the  season   is  ended.

On  the  second  and  last  day  of  the  New  England 
Breeders'  meeting  at  Readville  big  fields  and  fast  rec- 
ords were  the  rule.  Katherine  L.,  the  bay  filly  by

race  of  the  year  and  won  in  straight  heats  in  the  re- 
markable time  of  2:12%  and  2:12%.  Miss  Adbell  was 
second  in  the  first  heat  and  Charley  De  Ryder  landed 
The  Phantom  second  in  the  last  heat. 

A  six  heat  race  resulted  in  the  2:  OS  class  pacing 
stake  of  $5000.  After  Geary,  Walter  Direct  and  Di- 
rectum Miller  had  each  taken  a  heat,  the  gray  horse 
Allerson  outgamed  them  and  won  the  next  three 
heats  in  slower  time.  He  was  not  laid  up,  either,  as 
he  was  only  beaten  a  nose  by  Directum  Miller  in 
2:05%,  the  fastest  heat  of  the  race. 

The  Massachusetts  $10,000  stake  for  2:10  trotters 
had  nine  starters.  Sadie  Mac,  the  favorite,  won  the 
event  and  lowered  her  record  to  2:05  in  the  fourth 
and  final  heat.  She  lost  the  second  through  a  break 
in  the  stretch.  The  Zombro  mare  Zephyr  took  fourth 
money  and  was  a  good  third  in  the=two  fastest  heats, 
which  were  in  2:06%  and  2:05.  John  Caldwell  was 
behind  the  money.

[AuGCST  26,  1905 


When  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson's  three-year-old  colt  North 
Wilkes  won  the  three-year-old  trot- 
ting dr  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  at  Santa 
-    turday,  trotting  the  first  and  second  heats 

';    handily  and   the  next   heat   two  and  a  half 

er    because    there    was    no    other    of   his 

titors  witji  speed  enough  to  make  him  go  faster. 

the    horsemen    suddenly    awakened    to    the    fact    that 

California    1  - 1   another   phenomenal    three- 

1  trotter,  and  began  wondering  how  fast  the 
big  felli  go   were  he  to  be  fitted   and   driven 

limit  of  his  speed.  It  was  evident, 
from  the  way  he  carried  himself  all  through  the 
2:3 0  would  not  stop  him.  and  there  was 
more  than  one  ready  to  predict  that  with  special  prep- 
aration North  Star  can  trot  a  mile  very  close  to  Fan- 
record  of  2:08%.  The  account  of  his  race  will 
lie  found  on  another  page  in  the  report  of  the  .last 
two  days  of  racing  at  Santa  Rosa  and  it  is  only  my 
purpose  here  to  call  attention  to  North  Star's  breeding, 
which  is  unique,  as  while  he  is  a  representative  of 
the  Wilkes-Electioneer  cross  he  carries  four  crosses 
of  Williamson's  Belmont,  often  referred  to  as  the 
Mambrino  Patchen  of  California,  although  Belmont 
was  a  registered  thoroughbred,  while  Mambrino 
Patchen  had  in  his  veins  blood  that  was  but  three- 
quarters  thoroughbred.  North  Star  gets  one  cross  of 
Williamson's  Belmont  through  Nutwood  Wilkes,  whose 
third  dam.  Rebel  Daughter,  was  by  that  horse,  and 
ran  and  won  many  races  in  California  "in  the  old 
days.''  Ivoneer  2:27.  the  dam  of  North  Star,  is  a 
daughter  of  Eugeeneer,  a  son  of  Electioneer  that  was 
out  of  the  famous  brood  mare  Lady  Ellen  2:29V»  by 
Carr's  Mambrino,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Sweet  Marie 
2:04%.  Lady  Ellen's  dam  was  Ida  May  Jr.,  an  inbred 
Belmont  mare  by  Owen  Dale  (son  of  Belmont)  out  of 
Ida  May,  a  daughter  of  Belmont.  The  second  dam  of 
North  Star  is  Salinas  Belle,  dam  of  five  or  six  in  the 
list,  among  them  Dictatress  2:08%.  Diablita  2:15%, 
etc.  Salinas  Belle  was  by  Vermont  322,  that  sired 
the  second  dam  of  Sweet  Marie,  and  out  of  Mary  by 
Owen  Dale,  son  of  Williamson's  Belmont  Owen  Dale 
sired  the  fourth  dam  of  Sweet  Marie,  so  it  will  be 
seen  that  North  Star's  breding  is  in  very  similar 
lines  to  that  of  the  great  race  mare  whose  perform- 
ances last  year  and  this  made  her  the  star  of  the  har- 
ness racing  game.  The  sires  of  both  are  grandsons  of 
Geo.  Wilkes  and  the'.r  dams  have  crosses  of  Carr's 
Mambrino.  Vermont  and   "Williamson's  Belmont.

Mr.  Iverson,  who  is  one  of  the  most  conservative  of 
men.  and  one  who  always  underrates  rather  than  over- 
rates his  horses,  stated  privately  that  three  heats  in 
2.12  would  not  be  fast  enough  to  take  first  money 
away  from  him,  and  it  certainly  looked  that  way  when 
the  race  was  over.  Charlie  Whitehead,  his  trainer, 
had  given  the  colt  a  most  careful  and  intelligent 
preparation,  and  drove  a  race  that  would  have  been 
a  credit  to  Budd  Doble.  Ed  Geers.  or  any  others  of 
the  great  drivers.  Knowing  his  colt's  speed  he  allowed 
the  others  to  make  the  pace  and  won  his  heats  by 
outtrotting  them  in  the  stretch.  He  was  never  in 
difficulty  at  any  stage  of  the  race  and  had  Bellemont 
not  gone  off  her  feet  in  trying  to  outspeed  him  on 
the  back  stretch  in  the  third  heat,  that  mile  would 
have  been  as  fast  or  faster  than  the  first  two  and 
North  Star  would  just  as  certain  been  the  winner. 
He  starts  again  at  Sacramento  in  both  the  Occident 
and  the  Stanford  Stakes  and  if  the  new  track  there  is 
as  fast  as  those  who  have  inspected  it  believe,  it  is 
more  than  likely  that  North  Star's  record  at  the  close 
of  the  State  meeting  will  be  below  his  Santa  Rosa 
record. 


North   Star   Is  a    big   ■  "li ,   high   In   the  withers  and 

with  such   powerful   shoulders   that  hie   hind   i 

i"«-k   small   in   comparison,  but   an   inspection  of  them 
shows  U 

powerfully    hum    behind    as    we!!    as    En    front 
While-  jogging  there  le  nothing  In  his  gait  or  appear- 
I  observer  to  "crane  his  neck," 
but  once  going  al   speed  and  there  is  the  pert 

le   and    qul<  I  pi  aks   the 

econ      rohn     ■■■  McKerron,"  was 

the  remark   heard   on   all   sides  when   lie   finished  each 

heat  at   Santa  Rosa   last   Saturday.     Before  the   race 


year,  but  two  of  his  daughters  have  been  made  mem- 
bers of  the  list  of  dams  of  2:15  performers  since 
the  circuit  opened.  These  are  the  dams  of  Mona 
Wilkes  2 :  11  %  and  Mamonio  2:14.%.  At  the  Fresno 
meeting.  Cresco  Wilkes  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  took  a 
record  of  2:10%  and  at  Los  Angeles  Miss  Idaho  by 
the  same  stallion  reduced  Her  record  to  2:10%. 


The  Los  Angeles  meeting  furnished  a  sensational 
two-year-old  pacer  in  the  glass  eyed  Rockaway, 
whose  mile  in  2:15*4  there  the  first  week  in  July  is 
still  the  fastest  mile  to  the  credit  of  a  two-year-old 
pacer  this  year.  In  that  race  Rockaway  beat  the 
colt  McFayden  by  Diablo,  but  had  Rockaway  been  in 
the  two-year-old  pacing  division  of  the  Breeders* 
Futurity  at  Santa  Rosa  it  is  probable  that  McFayden 
would  have  had  sweet  revenge,  as  the  chestnut  son 
of  Diablo  won  the  first  heat  of  that  race  in  2:15% 
and  could  have  gone  faster.  In  the  second  heat  Mc 
Fay  den  made  a  break  on  the  first  turn  and  was  a  dis- 
tance behind  his  only  competitor,  but  when  his  driver 
Sam  Hoy  got  him  squared  away  he  began  eating  up 
the  space  like  a  two-minute  horse  and  won  the  heat 
in  2:16%.  McFayden  goes  without  hopples  and  wears 
but  little  except  his  harness.  It  is  his  owner's  in- 
tention to  give  him  a  lower  mark  at  Sacramento  and 
it  is  very  likely  that  he  will  equal  or  beat  2:12.  This 
colt  was  bred  and  is  owned  by  Mr.  E.  D.  Dudley  of 
Dixon.  He  is  by  Diablo  2:09*4,  dam  the  great  brood 
mare  Bee  by  Sterling,  that  is  the  dam  of  Friskarina 
2:13%  and  Allendale,  matinee  record  2:16.  The  sec- 
ond dam  of  McFayden  is  the  great  brood  mare  Flash 
by  Egmont.  She  is  the  dam  of  Javelin  2:08*4  and 
three  or  four  more  in  the  list.  Bee  never  threw  a  foal 
that  did  not  have  standard  speed,  and  had  all  her 
colts  been  worked  she  would  have  had  at  least  six 
in  the  list.  It  is  Mr.  Dudley's  intention  to  place 
McFayden  in  the  stud  next  year  and  as  the  colt  has 
size,  individuality,  good  looks  and  great  speed  he 
should  be  a  great  success.  That  he  will  sire  early  and 
extreme  speed  whenever  good  mares  are  bred  to  him 
is  certain. 


There  has  been  a  better  attendance  and  heavier  bet- 
ting at  the  few  harness  meetings  held  in  California 
this  year  than  for  some  years  past.  The  interest  man- 
ifested in  the  light  harness  horse  is  on  the  increase 
and  it  is  a  great  pity  that  a  circuit  of  seven  or  eight 
weeks  could  not  have  been  arranged.  San  Jose.  Pleas- 
anton  and  Woodland  should  all  have  given  meetings, 
as  there  has  never  been  a  year  when  it  was  easier  to 
make  a  financial  success  of  one.  It  does  not  take 
such  a  tremendous  amount  of  work  to  get  up  a  pro- 
gram of  good  racing.  There  is  not  a  town  in  Cali- 
fornia where  a  good  track  is  located  but  could  give 
a  few  days  of  harness  events  that  would  draw  crowds 
of  people  and  be  a  financial  success  if  properly  man- 
aged. 


That  the  blood  of  the  two  great  sires,  Geo.  Wilkes 
and  Electioneer,  both  sons  of  Hambletonian  10, 
"blend  harmoniously  for  speed"  is  proven  by  the  re- 
sult of  some  of  the  leading  three-year-old  events  this 
year.  At  Buffalo  the  three-year-old  trot  was  won  by 
Katherine  A.,  whose  heats  were  trotted  in  2:14%  and 
2:15,  while  Susie  N.  took  the  second  heat  in  2.13%. 
The  Breeders'  Futurity  three-year-old  race  at  Santa 
Rosa  was  won  by  North  Star,  that  trotted  two  heats 
in  2:13%.  All  these  three-year-olds  carry  the  blood 
of  Geo.  Wilkes  and  Electioneer.  North  Star  and  Susie 
N.  are  Wilkes-Eleetioneer,  and  Katherine  A.  is  Elec- 
tioneer-Wilkes. 


I  doubt  if  there  is  another  breeder  in  California  who 
more  thoroughly  appreciates  his  good  luck  than  James 
W.  Marshall  of  Solano  county,  whose  filly  Mona 
Wilkes  won  the  three-year-old  pacing  division  of 
the  Breeders'  Futurity  at  Santa  Rosa.  Mr.  Marshall 
is  a  farmer  of  northern  Solano  county  who  has  been 
breeding  trotters  and  pacers  for  a  few  years  in  a 
quiet  way  and  is  meeting  with  success.  He  has  a 
small  but  excellent  collection  of  brood  mares,  and 
does  not  care  to  own  a  stallion.  He  sells  his  colts, 
but  keeps  his  best  fillies  and  by  patronizing  stallions 
of  other  owners  that  he  thinks  will  nick  well  with  his 
mares,  is  breeding  up  all  the  time.  Mona  Wilkes 
was  second  to  Delilah  when  that  filly  won  the  two- 
year-old  pacing  division  at  San  Jose  last  year  in 
2:16%,  but  owing  to  Delilah's  sickness  at  Santa  Rosa 
did  not  have  that  fast  filly  to  contend  with,  but  had 
Delilah  been  herself  she  would  have  had  to  beat  2:10 
had  she  defeated  Mona  Wilkes,  as  the  latter  paced 
the  first  heat  in  2:11%.  the  second  in  2:13  and  lost 
the  next  two  by  breaks  caused  by  hitting  the  sulky 
with  her  hocks.  She  won  the  fifth  in  2.16,  and  paced 
the  last  quarter  at  a  2:0$  gait.  Mona  Wilkes  is  by 
Demon io  2:11%,  an  own  brother  to  Diablo  2:09*4. 
and  is  out  of  a  daughter  of  Nutwood  Wilkes. 


Nutwood  Wilkes  has  achieved  a  lot  of  distinction 
through  the  results  of  this  year's  California  races. 
Not  only  has  his  son  North  Star  won  the  three-year- 
old  trot  and  taken  a  record  of  2:13%,  trotting  .the 
fastest    two    heats    made   by   any   three-year-old    this 


When  the  mare  Welladay,  owned  by  Mr.  James 
Coffin  of  this  city,  paced  to  a  record  of  2:17%  in  both 
heats  of  the  race  she  won  at  Santa  Rosa,  she  was  the 
seventh  of  the  get  of  the  family  of  Steinway  and  old 
Katie  G.,  by  Electioneer,  to  take  a  record.  Al- 
though the  Tear  Book  of  1904  gives  Katie  G.  credit 
for  but  four  in  the  list,  viz:  Chas.  Derby  2:20, 
Steineer  2:29%,  KJatawah  2.05%  and  Katrinka  G. 
2:14%,  there  were  two  more  of  her  foals  that  trotted 
in  standard  time — Sunlight  2 :  25  and  H.  R.  Covey 
2 :  25,  and  the  last  mentioned,  which  was  her  first 
colt,  would  have  been  a  2:15  trotter  had  it  not  been 
for  an  accident.  Welladay  has  been  trained  and 
driven  by  Joe  Cuicello,  who  thinks  her  capable  of -a 
mile  below  2: 15  when  just  right.  She  won  third 
money  at  the  Santa  Rosa  meeting  in  the  race  won  by 
John  R.  Conway,  and  was  a  good  second  to  him  in 
the  third  heat  paced  in  2:15.  and  third  in  the  two 
previous  heats  which  were  in  2:15%  and  2:13*4. 
When  Sam  Gamble  bought  Katie  G.  to  mate  with 
Steinway  he  made  a  wise  selection  as  the  records 
show. 


Ethel's  Pride,  the  five-year-old  mare  that  won  the 
2.14  class  trot,  for  a  purse  of  $3,000  at  Readville  last 
Tuesday,  was  bred  by  the  late  William  E.  Spiers,  the 
gentleman  who  purchased  the  mare's  sire  Directum 
2:05*4  from  the  Green  estate.  The  dam  of  Ethel's 
Pride  is  that  great  brood  mare,  Ethelwyn  2:23,  the 
dam  of  seven  in  the  list.  Ethel's  Pride's  new  record 
of  2:07%  makes  her  the  fastest  trotter  produced  by 
her  dam. 


The  Broncho's  three  heats  in  2 :  05  *4 .  2:04%  and 
2:03%  at  Decatur,  111.,  last  week  after  losing  the  first 
heat  in  2.06*4  by  a  bad  break  at  the  start  was  a  won- 
derful performance.  To  break  the  world's  record  in 
a  race  for  pacing  mares,  and  do  it  in  the  fourth  heat 
of  a  hotly  contested  race,  gives  the  Broncho  a  dis- 
tinction that  makes  her  look  like  two  minutes  or 
better  later  on. 


The  time  of  the  last  quarters  of  the  three  heats 
paced  by  Zolock  2:05*4  in  his  Santa  Rosa  race  when 
his  miles  were  made  in  2:07%,  2:08  and  2:10.  were 
31*4.  32  and  31.  The  great  speed  of  the  trotting  colt 
North  Star,  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  can  be  judged  by 
comparison  when  it  is  stated  that  he  trotted  the  last 
quarter  of  the  first  heat  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity 
in  exactly  31  seconds,  as  fast  as  the  fastest  last 
quarter  shown  by  Zolock.  The  official  time  of  the 
last  quarter  of  the  first  heat  in  the  three-year-old 
race  was  32%  seconds,  but  North  Star  came  from  be- 
hind and  was  separately  timed  in  31  seconds  flat. 


INCREASED   DEMAND   FOR   HORSES. 


If  any  one  believes  that  automobiles  or  other  horse- 
less vehicles  are  coming  into  harmful  competition 
with  horses,  that  person  would  decidedly  change  his 
idea  after  listening  a  few  minutes  to  Dr.  E.  Salmon 
of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  U.  S.  Agricultural 
Department.  He  asserts  that  horse  breeding  is  the 
most  important  line  of  work  in  animal  breeding  which 
his  bureau  has  under  taken  and  that  the  situation 
in  the  horse  market  during  recent  years  has  had  a 
great  deal  to  do  with  determining  the  lines  of  work 
to  be  undertaken. 

In  reference  to  the  increasing  prices  of  horses  and 
the  work  of  his  bureau  to  relieve  the  present  shortage 
in  the  supply  of  good  animals,  the  doctor  said. 

From  the  years  1899  to  1904,  inclusive,  there  has 
been  an  increase,  ranging  from  $10  to  $35,  in  the  aver- 
age prices  for  all  classes  of  horses  on  the  Chicago 
market.  This  shows  what  always  happens  during  a 
period  of  scarcity,  namely,  a  large  increase  in  the 
prices  of  the  best  grades,  the  average  price  of  car- 
riage horses  increasing  $32.50  per  head;  but  there  is 
one  very  remarkable  feature  in  the  large  increase  in 
the  prices  of  the  cheaper  grades.  Horses  for  general 
use  show  the  largest  increase  of  any,  $35  per  head; 
bussers  and  trammers  have  increased  $25  per  head; 
and  southern  chunks  $14  per  head.  The  relative  in- 
crease in  these  cheap  classes  has  been  greater  than 
that  of  the  better  ones,  and  the  fact  shows  clearly 
that  the  demand  for  horses  has  rapidly  increased. 

The  relation  of  the  export  trade  to  the  horse  mar- 
ket is  peculiar.  The  Columbian- Exposition  at  Chi- 
cago marked  the  beginning  of  a  very  strong  demand 
from  Europe  for  American  horses,  and  export  buyers 
were  soon  prominent  on  the  market,  with  the  result 
that  prices  advanced  rapidly.  The  great  increase 
from  1900  to  1902  is  due  to  the  exportations  to  South 
Africa,   which   have   now  almost   entirely  stopped. 

The  number  of  horses  exported  is  still  normal. 
This,  however,  is  due  to  the  increase  in  the  exports 
to  British  North  America  and  the  West  Indies.  There 
is  also  a  strong  demand  from  Mexico.  The  trade  with 
the  United  Kingdom  (our  heaviest  European  pur- 
chaser) fell  during  1904  to  a  lower  point  than  in  anyi 
year  in  the  last  decade,  and  the  exports  to  British 
North  America  may  be  accounted  for  by  the  large 
agricultural  emigration  to  Canada  during  recent 
ye;irs. 


In  the  Chicago  market  the  exporters  have  of  late 
been  looking  for  business  horses  with  quite  a  turn  of 
speed  and  some  action.  These  are  mostljr  sent  over 
to  England,  where  they  are  used  for  road  and  depot 
work.  A  horse  weighing  from  1,150  to  1,200  pounds  is 
preferred.

||     OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINIONS.     M 


-  Too  many  people  have  lost  sight  of  the  sport 
Chicago  Horseman:  Continuous  racing  can  be  held 
responsible  for  the  evil  days  on  which  racing  has  fallen. 
Continuous  racing  and  the  making  of  the  speculative 
feature  of  the  sport  the  main  one.  Too  many  people 
have  lost  sight  of  the  sport  and  look  upon  racing 
merely  as  a  game,  a  game  for  high  stakes.  The  sen- 
sational press  has  helped  things  along  with  startling 
stories  of  money  gained  and  lost,  with  two  pages  of 
form  charts,  previous  performances  and  possible  win- 
ners and  two  column  editorials  in  denunciation  of 
the  very  features  they  have  fostered  and  which  were 
never  heard  of  until  the  advent  of  the  "yellow"  press. 
A  remedy  must  be  found  and  it  will  not  do  to  look 
for  it  from  the  hands  of  those  who  have  brought 
about  this  woeful  state  of  affairs.  The  proprietors  of 
running  tracks  in  the  West  having  killed  the  sport  in 
some  sections  and  blighted  it  in  others  still  continue 
the  warfare  which  will  result  in  the  suppression  of 
racing  in  other  sections.  While  this  is  going  on  the 
trotting  men  are  doing  a  lot  of  talking  but  are  taking 
no  concerted  action.  The  only  remedy  will  be  for 
those  interested  in  racing  in  every  State  to  take  steps 
for  securing  reasonable  legislation.  In  order  to  do 
away  with  continuous  racing  limit  each  meeting  to 
not  more  than  fifteen  days.  This  would  be  fair  to  the 
owners  of  running  tracks  and  would  seldom  be  taken 
advantage  of  by  trotting  track  managers.  Even  in  so 
large  a  city  as  Chicago  this  would  be  plenty  and 
would  furnish  sixty  days  of  sport.  Longer  meetings 
drag  before  the  close.  This  has  been  noted  even  at 
Washington  Park,  where  the  attendance  has  mater- 
ially decreased  at  the  end  of  the  meeting.  Steps 
should  be  taken  to  forbid  the  construction  of  new 
tracks  except  in  instances  where  a  need  for  them  is 
absolutely  proven.  With  less  racing  the  speculative 
features  would  not  be  so  prominent,  certainly  not  if 
the  track  owners  would  follow  the  example  of  Eastern 
managers  and  divorce  the  speculative  and  racing 
features.  There  is  only  one  way  to  place  rasing  on  a 
proper  basis  and  that  is  by  means  of  legislation.  The 
public  looks  upon  racing  as  racing  and  because  of 
that  fact  the  managers  of  all  tracks  and  all  who  are 
interested  in  racing  and  breeding  should  work  to- 
gether. In  the  past  those  who  were  not  disturbed  in 
holding  their  meetings  were  too  content  to  let  things 
drift  along.  What  happened  to  their  brother  did  not 
concern  them  until  at  last  their  fingers  were  jammed 
in  the  same  door.  As  the  pinch  has  been  pretty  gen- 
eral up  to  date  it  is  high  time  that  a  united  effort 
was  made  to  put  the  sport  on  its  proper  basis. 

Kentucky  Stock  Farm:     It  is  not  the  least  surpris- 
ing that  the  practice  so  long  in  vogue  of  waiting  until 
midsummer    before    getting    their     horses     ready     for 
racing  has  at  last  brought  upon  the  trainers,  remarks 
the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm,  who  are  largely  responsible 
for    this    condition   of   affairs,    the    unfavorable    com- 
ment that  has  lately  been  heard.    Just  why  the  drivers 
who    so    completely    dictate    the    policies    of    harness 
racing  should  absolutely  refuse   to  get  ready   before 
the  last  week  in  July  is  a  difficult  question  to  answer, 
unless,  of  course,  it  is  from  a  desire  on  their  part  to 
extend  the  period  of  training  as  long  as  possible  and 
to  have  as  many  pay  days  come  around  as  they  can 
before  their  charges  are  found  wanting.     Under  the 
present  condition  a  trainer  finds  it  impossible  to  put 
off  the  evil  hour  when  an  owner  makes  up  his  mind 
that  his  horse  is  not  possessed  of  capacity  enough  to 
justify  a  further  expenditure  of  money,  and  he  there- 
fore fattens  on  the  misfortune  of  the  man  who  pays 
the  bill.     He  can  by  his  dilatory  methods  and  under 
the  present  conditions  so  train  his  horses  that  their 
owners  are  buoyed  with  the  hope  that  at  some  future 
date  they  will  be  allowed  to  witness  speed  to  justify 
a  continuance  of  their  training.     The  failure  to  bring 
off  successfully  early  meetings  can  as  a  rule  be  laid 
at  the  door  of  the  trainer  himself,   for  the  majority 
of  the  owners  would   much   prefer   that  their  horses 
be  ready  either  to   win  a   portion   of  the   money   ex- 
pended on  them,  or  to  clearly  establish  their  want  of 
capacity.      So    completely,    however,    do    the    trainers 
dominate  the  affairs  of  light  harness  racing  that  by 
adhering  to  the  present  tactics  of  procrastination  they 
have  been  able  to  fix  the  date  of  the  beginning  of  active 
racing  at  mid-summer.     That  horses  can  be  got  ready 
much   earlier  than   the   earlier  part  of  July  has   fre- 
quently been  proved,  and  it  needs  no  other  example 
of  this  fact  than  the  condition   of  the  horses   in   Ed 
Geers'  charge,  and  the  time  made  at  the  few  earlier 
meetings    that    have    been    held.      Geers    could    have 
begun  his  campaign,  if  it  had  been  necessary,  on  the 
first  of  July,  and  while  it  may  be  said  that  his  case  is 
an  exceptional   one,  from   the  fact  that  he  has  win- 
tered   in    the    South,    the    work   done    already   by   the 
trotters  and  pacers  which  have  been  trained  in  New 
England,  as  well  as  the  condition  of  many  others  be- 
ing prepared    in   climates   more   severe   than   the   one 
at  Memphis,  is  evidence  enough,  if  any  one  need  it. 
1     that  if  the  Grand   Circuit   began  on  the  first  day  of 
July,   the   condition   of  the   horses  would   be  fully   as 
far  advanced  as  under  the  present  arrangement.     If 
a  yearling  can   be  prepared   for  a  quarter  in   thirty- 
five  seconds,  surely  a  matured  horse  can  be  got  ready 
for  something  like  his  best  efforts  by  that  time.     The 
chief  reason   why  light   harness  racing   should   begin 
much  earlier  than  it  does  now  lies  in  the  fact  that  the 
;     public  becomes  impatient  first,  then  may  look  to  some 
other   form   of   pastime,   for    it   must   be   remembered 
that  all  who  attend  trotting  meetings  are  not  horse 
enthusiasts,  experts  or  turf  followers,  but  are  indeed 
to  a  very  great  extent,  pleasure-seekers.     One  reason 
why  trotting  meetings  fall  to  attract  a  large  propor- 


tion of  the  so-called  fashionable  element  is  because 
they  are  held  at  a  season  of  the  year  when  there  is 
an  exodus  to  the  many  summer  resorts,  and  it  is  on 
this  account  that  the  running  meetings  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  New  York  City  are  so  scheduled  that  they 
profit  by  the  presence  of  the  element'  in  question, 
being  held  before  and  after  the  pleasure-seekers  take 
thir  summer  vacations.  It  may  be  said  by  a  few 
who  have  contempt  for  the  so-called  fashionable  ele- 
ment of  society  that  their  presence  is  not  essential  to 
the  best  interests  of  the  sport,  yet  this  view  is,  we 
think,  a  narrow  one,  for  that  very  element  can  not 
only  afford  to  patronize  a  sport,  but  its  presence  adds 
greatly  to  the  standing  the  pastime  has  and  certainly 
gives  it  a  prestige  that  is  lacking  if  that  element 
is  conspicuous  by  its  absence.  In  view  of  the  fact 
that  the  racing  public  is  eager  for  light  harness 
racing  to  begin  long  before  the  first  important  meet- 
ing is  held,  that  the  average  owner  would  be  only 
too  glad  of  an  opportunity  to  reimburse  himself, 
something  should  be  done  to  bring  about  a  radical 
change  from  existing  methods.  Doubtless  there  are 
some  cities  where  a  meeting  of  more  than  six  days' 
duration  could  be  given  successfully,  and  if  this  is 
found  to  be  the  case,  a  great  boon  would  be  con- 
ferred on  owners  of  racing  stables,  who  under  the 
present  arrangement,  suffer  greatly  as  a  result  of 
frequent  changes  of  base.  The  fact  that  there  are 
some  trainers  able  to  prepare  their  horses  by  the  first 
of  July,  no  matter  in  what  zone  their  training  opera- 
tions are  held,  contradicts  the  assertion  so  frequently 
made  by  other  trainers  that  it  is  impossible  to  get 
ready  before  the  latter  part  of  the  same  month,  and 
if  the  stewards  of  the  Grand  Circuit  could  see  their 
way  clear  to  begin  the  Grand  Circuit  three  or  four 
weks  earlier  than  they  now  do.  extend  the  meetings 
in  some  cities,  if  necessary,  or  add  other  cities  to  the 
present  list,  the  business  end  of  light  harness  racing 
would  be  greatly  improved  and  the  racing  public 
pleased  beyond  expression. 


provides  excellent  sport  from  start  to  finish  with  aM 
the  horses  trying  each  heat.  Spectators  used  to  the 
system  which  allows  them  to  bet  that  a  dozen  hoi 
will  bent  the  favorite  may  not  tie  so  well  satisfied 
as  in  order  to  win  they  have  to  pick  a  winner  more 
frequently  than  was  the  case  in  the  three  in  five. 
The  books  receive  a  big  play,  several  times  larger 
than  was  formerly  the  case,  while  the  auctions  do 
not  do  so  much  business.  That  the  general  public 
likes  the  new  system  was  demonstrated  by  the  way 
it  turned  out  after  the  two  big  stake  races  had  been 
decided.  When  once  the  public  understands  that  it 
can  go  to  the  races  at  a  reasonable  hour:  see  every 
race  decided  and  be  able  to  return  home  in  time  for 
dinner,  then  the  gate  receipts  will  increase  in  a  notice- 
able manner,  and  it  is  about  time  that  the  general 
public  should  be  catered  to  instead  of  a  few  score 
of  the  regulars. 


Horse  Show  Monthly:  In  justice  to  themselves,  to 
their  horses  and  to  the  breeders  who  produce  these 
horses,  owners  of  successful  trotting-bred  show  ani- 
mals should,  as  far  as  possible,  ascertain  and  give 
publicity  to  the  pedigrees  of  their  blue-ribbon  win- 
ners. This  should  be  done  in  order  that  men  who 
wish  to  breed  heavy-harness  horses  from  trotting 
sires  may  be  guided  in  their  selection  of  a  stallion. 

The  Horse  Show  Monthly  has  recently  been  in  re- 
ceipt of  many  inquiries  from  owners  of  mares  as  to 
where  they  could  secure  service  from  a  trotting  horse 
who  had  distinguished  himself  by  siring  horse-show 
winners. 

Owners  of  horses  like  Newsboy,  Polly  Prim,  Whirl 
of  the  Town,  Coxey,  Petroleum,  Sporting  Life,  Prince 
of  Orange,  Maid  of  Athens,  Lucille  and  Lord  Brilliant 
should,  as  far  as  possible,  ascertain  and  give  publicity 
to  the  pedigree  of  the  horses.  Owners  of  stallion^ 
which  have  sired  prize  winners  are  doing  themselves 
a  great  financial  injury  when  they  neglect  to  advertise 
the  achievements  of  their  sires. 

Since  the  United  States  Government  determined  to 
establish  a  breed  of  heavy-harness  horses  from  trot- 
ting sources,  a  great  impetus  has  been  given  to  this 
special  line  of  equine  production.  Many  breeders 
who  were  in  a  quandary  about  what  course  to  pursue 
have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  they  cannot  do  bet- 
ter than  follow  the  intelligent  lead  of  the  Government. 
The  scarcity  of  good  heavy-harness  and  saddle  horses 
has  been  given  such  extensive  publicity  that  producers 
are  sure  to  attempt  to  supply  the  demand.  This 
being  the  case,  the  trotting-bred  horse  who  has  proven 
his  prepotency  by  siring  show-ring  winners  is  cer- 
tainly sure  of  extensive  patronage  next  year. 

The  pedigree  of  the  hackney  winners  is  carefully 
kept  and  extensively  exploited.  It  is  only  justice  to 
the  trotting  horse  that  his  friends  see  that  he  is  given 
publicity  equal  to  that  accorded  the  hackney. 


The  question  as  to  whether  harness  racing  can  be 
successfully  conducted  without  the  adjunct  of  pool- 
selling  would  seem  to  have  never  had  a  better  chance 
to  be  determined  than  on  the  occasion  of  the  mid- 
summer meeting  of  the  New  England  Breeders'  As- 
sociation at  Readville  last  week.  Trotting  has  for 
many  years  had  a  vogue  in  Boston  which  has  perhaps 
been  shared  by  no  other  community  in  the  L^nited 
States.  Thoroughbred  racing  in  the  vicinity  has 
never  existed  to  distract  the  attention  or  alienate 
the  interest  of  the  public  from  the  other  sport.  Great 
breeding  farms  have  been  reared  in  New  England, 
producing  horses  that  have  achieved  world-wide  cel- 
elbrity.  thereby  whetting  the  local  appetite  for  sulky 
racing,  until  trotting  has  come  to  be  regarded  at 
Boston  as  a  synonym  for  all  that  is  popular  in  sport. 
Under  these  circumstances  it  might  be  presumed  that 
if  the  pastime  could  maintain  its  fascination  as  a 
pastime  merely,  without  regard  to  or  consideration 
of  its  speculative  feature,  in  any  place  in  the  coun- 
try, it  could  do  so  at  Boston.  The  meeting  itself 
last  week  was  calculated  to  insure,  if  possible,  a 
favorable  solution  of  the  question.  Better  racing 
has  not  been  seen  at  any  track  this  season.  The 
contests  were  clean  and  sharp  and  the  time  fast. 
Four  trotters  were  added  to  the  2:10  list,  an  achieve- 
ment vouchsafed  by  no  other  meeting  this 
year.  There  was  from  first  to  last  nothing 
about  the  meeting  which  should  fail  to  conduce  to 
the  presence  of  large  crowds  every  day — except  the 
absence  of  pool-selling.  What  was  the  result?  A 
frost.  The  Boston  Globe  tells  the  story  briefly  but 
forcefully: 

"The  racing  failed  to  produce  any  excitement,  and 
the  attendance  on  the  last  two  days  was  so  small 
that  it  did  not  deserve  the  name  of  a  crowd.  Never 
was  better  racing  seen  than  on  Wednesday  and 
Thursday,  but  outside  the  Sweet  Marie-Tiverton  race 
it  was  hardly  commented  on.  There  is  no  use  minc- 
ing matters.  The  sport  has  been  sapped  of  its  very 
life.  It  is  one  of  those  unexplainable  things,  but  fc 
fact  nevertheless,  that  even  the  followers  of  racing 
who  never  make  a  wager  of  any  sort,  women  as  well 
as  men.  lose  all  interest  when  present  conditions 
prevail." 

This  is  the  truth  in  a  nutshell  Singular  as  it  may 
appear  it  is  true  that  even  the  people  who  never  bet 
lose  their  interest  in  racing  on  which  betting  is  not 
conducted.  The  fate  of  the  Readville  meeting  will 
be  the  fate  of  every  association  that  attempts  to 
conduct  trotting  without  pool-selling  under  present 
methods,  no  matter  how  much  we  may  wish  that  it 
were  other  otherwise.  It  may  be  possible  to  devise 
a  method  by  which  the  interest  of  the  public  can 
be  held  by  the  mere  spectacular  phase  of  the  sport. 
but  it  has  not  been  discovered,  and  the  individual 
who  can  demonstrate  it  will  be  hailed  by  all  horse- 
men as  the  greatest  philanthropist  of  the  limes. —

SPOKANE   INTER-STATE   FAIR. 


Mr.  D.  J.  Campau.  who  runs  the  Blue  Ribbon  meet- 
ing at  Detroit,  and  is  also  proprietor  of  the  Chicago 
Horseman,  prints  the  following  editorial  in  the  last 
issue  of  his  journal: 

The  Grand  Circuit  had  a  glorious  opening  at  the 
Gross  Point  track,  Detroit,  last  week.  The  attend- 
ance was  all  that  could  be  desired.  On  M.  &  M.  day 
the  crowd  was  larger  than  on  the  previous  year  and 
on  that  day  a  record  was  made.  The  track  itself 
was  in  excellent  condition,  the  time  made  amply  evi- 
dencing that  fact.  Both  the  starting  and  the  judging 
were  excellent  and  all  in  all  there  was  nothing  to 
mar  the  week's  entertainment  save  the  unfortunate 
shower  on  Tuesday  and  the  rain  on  Friday,  one 
necessitating  a  delay  of  nearly  two  hours  while  the 
other  caused  the  last  day's  card  to  be  curtailed  after 
two  heats  in  each  of  the  three  races  had  been  trotted 
or  paced.  A  great  deal  of  interest  centered  in  the 
fact  that  the  entire  card  was  raced  off  on  the  three 
heat,  every  heat  a  race  plan.  For  the  public  this 
plan  is  a  great  improvement  over  the  old  as  it  enables 
the  patrons  to  see  all  and  return  home  at  a  season- 
able hour.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  the  race  is  practi- 
cally over  if  a  horse  wins  the  first  two  heats,  the 
third  heat  leaves  a  loophole  for  dishonest  practices. 
Because  of  this  a  first-class  judges'  stand  is  abso- 
lutely essential,  but  such  is  the  case  under  any  plan 
if  the  racing  is  to  be  first  class.  Fortunately  the 
judges  at  Detroit  met  all  requirements  and  there  was 
little  chance  for  criticism,  the  only  really  suspicious 
looking  heat  being  the  second  one  in  the  2:04  pace 
when  the  time  was  but  2.08%  and  the  announcement 
from  the  stand  that  the  last  quarter  was  In  29% 
seconds  was  evidently  in  the  nature  of  an  apology. 
The  fact  that  Geers  was  third  in  that  heat  and  won 
the  next  in  2:06  showed  that  probably  more  than 
one  driver  made  a  mistake  in  estimating  the  capacity 
of  his  horse  for  a  race  early  in  the  season.  But

Three  of  the  largest  fairs  in  the  Pacific  Northwest 
close  the  week  before  the  Spokane  Interstate  Fair 
opns.  This  means  there  will  be  all  manner  of  good 
attractions  at  the  Spokane  Fair  this  year.  It  opens 
October  9 — the  week  following  the  Montana  State 
Fair  at  Helena,  the  Washington  State  Fair  at  North 
Yakima,  and  the  big  Provincial  Fair  at  New  West- 
minster. B.  C.  The  appropriations  for  this  latter 
amount   to   $75,000   this  year. 

The  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition  will  also  be  draw- 
ing to  a  close  at  this  time  and  many  attractions  will 
go  from  there  to  Spokane. 

This  means  the  racing  program  should  be  filled  with 
many  entries  and  that  the  tried  and  best  horses  will 
be  on  the  Spokane  track,  where  final  scores  for  the 
season  will  be  settled.  These  other  fairs,  including 
the  Portland  Fair,  will  be  a  help  to  Spokane,  rather 
than  otherwise.  The  midway  at  Spokane  should  be 
crowded  with  more  attractions  and  better  and  more 
novel  sights  than  ever  before. 


Gil  Curry  says  that  he  would  not  like  anything 
better  than  to  get  the  Readville  track  and  give  a  60 
days'  meeting  for  the  harness  horses,  every  race  to 
be  on  the  dash  system.  He  would  have  entrance  free, 
and  the  purses  for  {500  each,  divided  three  ways, 
$400  to  first,  $75  to  second  and  $25  to  the  third  horse. 
He  thinks  that  every  horseman  in  the  country  would 
come  with  their  stables,  thus  saving  the  shipping 
expenses  of  traveling  all  around  to  the  many  tracks, 
as  at  present,  besides  the  money  they  would  save 
in  entrance  fees.  His  method  of  betting  would  be  by 
the  Paris  mutual  system,  claiming  it  is  the  fairest 
ever  invented  for  the  matter  of  speculation  on  races. 


Admiral  Dewey,  son  of  Bingen  2:06%  and  Nancy

while  the  son  of  McKinney 
have  t<  -  as  the  track  record,  or  come 
within  two  seconds  of  his  own  mark,  he  won  handily 
in  each  of  the  three  heats,  after  three  different  horses 
had  taken  a  crack  at  him  to  test  bfs  Speed.  He  was 
t.»o  much  for  them  all.  however,  and  it  was  like 

ks  for  him  to  win  in  2:07%,  2:08  and  2.10.    Kelly 
d  the  lirst  heat.  Daedalion  occupied 
That   position  in  the  second  heat,  and  Miss  Idaho  fin- 
ished next  to  the  winner  in  the  final  mile. 

The  b  the  day's  races  were  the  two- 

year-el  the  2:13  trot.  In  the  first  mentioned, 

which    .  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity,  Mc- 

olt  by  Diablo  2:09)4  out  of  the  great  brood 
mare  Bee  by  Sterling,  owned  by  Mr.  E.  D.  Dudley  of 
Dixon,  and  trained  and  driven  by  S.  H.  Hoy  of  Win- 
on  easily  from  the  Del  Norte  filly  Magladi, 
owned  by  Judge  Brents  of  Walla  Walla,  in  straight 
heats  in  the  remarkable  time  of  2:15^4  and  2:16%. 
McFadyen  wears  nothing  but  his  harness  and  is  one 
■  >f  the  greatest  prospects  in  California.  In  the  second 
heat  he  made  a  break  and  was  more  than  a  distance 
out  at  the  first  quarter,  but  settled  down  and  paced 
the  middle  half  in  1:05.  Magladi  is  a  high-class  filly 
but  McFadyen  is  a  wonder. 

The  2:13  trot  was  a  betting  race  and  a  splendid 
contest.  The  Santa  Rosa  contingent  thought  Robi- 
zola  could  win  and  made  her  favorite  at  $20  to  $15 
for  the  field.  When  Dr.  Hammond  took  the  first  heat 
in  2:11%.  a  new  record  for  him,  he  was  backed  at 
$S  to  $10  for  the  field.  Dr.  Hammond  looked  to  be 
the    winner    of    the    second    heat,    but    broke    in    the 


with  such  ease  that  he  finished  every  mile  easily. 
('has.  Whitehead  of  Salinas  handled  the  reins  over 
the  son  of  Nutwood  Wilkes  and  drove  a  perfect  race. 
The  Los  Angeles  horsemen  were  so  confident  that 
the  Zombro  filly  Bellemont  would  win  that  they 
made  her  favorite  before  the  race  at  $20,  Ambush 
2:14%  selling  at  $16,  and  the  field  consisting  of  Ath- 
asham,  Kenneth  C.  and  Elma  S.,  at  $10.  Athasham 
had  the  pole,  Elma  S.  in  second  place.  Ambush  next, 
Kenneth  C.  in  fourth  position,  Bellemont  in  fish  and 
North  Star  on  the  outside. 

There  were  a  half  dozen  scores  before  they  got  the 
word  and  Athasham  went  to  the  front,  closely  followed 
by  Ambush,  North  Star  in  third  place.  They  went 
to  the  half  in  1:07  and  at  the  head  of  the  stretch  Am- 
bush was  leading.  Here  Whitehead  called  on  North 
Star  and  he  responded  with  a  burst  of  speed  that 
made  the  spectators  marvel.  Trotting  as  steady  as  a 
clock,  acting  like  an  old  campaigner,  he  passed  both 
the  leaders  and  won  by  a  length.  Athasham  was 
second,  Ambush  third,  Kenneth  C.  fourth,  Elma  S. 
fifth  and  Bellemont,  who  was  driven  an  easy  heat, 
sixth. 

The  backers  of  Bellemont  reckoned  that  the  time 
had  cooked  the  tall  awkward  gelding,  and  put  their 
money  into  the  pool  box  again  on  the  Los  Angeles 
filly  at  $20  against  $10  for  Ambush  and  $10  for  the 
field. 

n  the  second  heat  Athasham  and  Ambush  led  around 
the  first  turn,  with  Bellemont  and  North  Star  trailing 
in  good  positions.  Ambush  broke  along  the  back 
stretch.  Athasham  led  into  the  stretch,  pressed  by 
Belemont  with  North  Star  coming  as  before  from 
third  position  and  repeating  his  performance  of  the 
previous  heat  as  to  the  time  for  the  mile,  2:13^:, 
though  the  last  quarter  was  a  little  slower  for  him. 
Athasham  was  again  second,  and  demonstrated  that 
with  the  phenomenal  North  Star  out  of  the  race,  he 
could  have  beaten  all  the  others. 

Two  heats  in  2:13^.  by  a  three-year-old  in  his  first 
start  this  year  did  not  look  as  though  he  was  much 
of  a  "stopper,"  but  while  he  was  installed  favorite 
before  the  third  heat,  the  backers  of  Bellemont,  Am-

stretch  and  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson's  mare  Princess  took  the 
heat  and  a  new  record  of  2:13%.  The  third  and  fourth 
heats  went  to  the  Doctor,  the  time  being  2:13  in  both 
miles.  Dr.  Hammond  is  owned  by  Capt.  J.  H.  Ben- 
nett of  San  Francisco  and  was  splendidly  handled  by 
Fred  Chadbourne,  one  of  the  coming  reinsmen  of 
California  Robizola  was  second  in  three  heats,  but 
Dr.  Hammond  out-trotted  her.  H.  D.  B.  and  Liege 
did  not  have  speed  enough  to  make  the  issue  a  debat- 
able one  as  to  second  money,  though  they  trotted  their 
miles  in  2: 15  or  better  each  heat.  Lady  Madison  made 
a  bad  break  in  the  first  heat  and  caught  the  flag.

bush  and  Athasham  had  so  much  confidence  that  the 
money  played  on  them  and  the  field  made  it  possible 
for  the  backers  of  North  Star  to  get  even  money  for 
all  they  played  on  the  gelding. 

When  they  got  the  word  for  the  third  heat  it  was 
seen  that  Durfee  was  making  as  desperate  an  effort 
as  ever  in  his  life  to  beat  the  Nutwood  Wilkes  three- 
year-old  if  Bellemont  had  it  in  her  to  do  it.  The 
two  young  trotters  made  a  great  struggle  up  the  back 
stretch,  but  North  Star's  speed  was  too  great  for  her 
and  the  filly  broke.  North  Star  took  the  heat  and 
the  race  eased  up  to  a  jog  in  2:16  amid  the  cheers 
of  the  crowd,  who  realized  they  had  seen  in  the  win- 
ner the  best  three-year-old  produced  in  the  United 
States  this  year.  Athasham  won  second  money,  Belle- 
mont third  and  Ambush  fourth. 

The  $2000  trot  for  horses  of  the  2:24  class  resulted 
in  a  rather  cheap  race.  Of  the  sixteen  original 
entries  but  four  started.  Charlie  T.  won  after  drop- 
ping a  heat,  and  the  best  time  was  2:16.  There  was 
hut  little  speculation  on  the  event  as  it  was  clear 
that  Charlie  T.  would  win  from  the  first. 

The  2:17  pace,  which  closed  the  day's  sport,  was  a 
well  contested  event  between  eight  hoppled  pacers. 
John  R.  Conway  by  Diablo  was  the  winner.  He  made 
a  tangled  break  at  the  start  of  the  first  heat  and 
finished  fourth  in  2:15%,  Miss  Winn,  a  daughter  of 
Dlablo's  brother,  Demonio,  taking  the  heat  in  2:15*4. 
John  R.  Conway  won  the  next  three  handily,  pacing 
the  fourth  and  final  heat  in  2:12%,  an  excellent  per- 
formance.    The  summaries.  1

LAST  TWO  DAYS  AT  POUGHKEEPSIE. 


POUGHKEEPSIE,  August  18.— Fast  time  was  the 
rule  at  the  Hudson  River  Driving  Park  today.  In 
the  2.06  class  pace,  which  Baron  Grattan  won  after 
losing  the  second  heat  to  Frank  Tokum,  the  time  of 
three  heats  was  the  fastest  trotted  or  paced  on  the 
Grand   Circuit   this   year — 2:04%,   2:04%,   2:04%.. 

Tiverton  won  the  free-for  all  trotting  event  with 
ease.  Sweet  Marie  lost  her  chance  in  the  first  heat 
by  a  break  near  the  half-mile  post  and  again  in  the 
second  heat  by  breaking  twice  badly,  once  on  the 
last  turn  and  again  in  the  stretch.  She  finished  fourth 
in  each  heat.

August  19 — The  Grand  Circuit  harness  races  closed 
here  today  with  a  good  attendance.  It  was  an  off  day 
for  the  favorites.  Peruna,  in  the  2:10  pace,  was  the 
only  horse  picked  to  win  who  did  win.  Because  Swago, 
in  the  2:15  trot,  was  not  doing  as  well  as  the  judges 
thought  he  could,  McBride  was  taken  from  behind 
him  after  the  first  heat  and  Benyon  substituted. 
Swago  did  not -do  as  w-ell  after  the  change  as  before. 

Swift  B.,  son  of  Stam  B,  won  the  2:15  trot  in 
straight  heats,  reducing  his  record  to  2:12%.  He 
trotted  like  a  high  class  horse. 

The  surprise  of  the  day  developed  in  the  2:10  trot, 
which  was  won  by  Jim  Ferry,  entered  by  W.  J.  Briggs 
of  Denver  and  driven  by  Franks.  Ferry  was  not 
thought  of  until  after  the  second  heat.  Clarita  W. 
sold  in  the  opening  pools  at  $50,  Topsy  $15,  Robert 
Mc.  $15,  Bonnie  Russell  $5,  and  the  field,  including 
Jim  Ferry  and  the  California  horse,  The  Roman,  at 
$10.  The  first  heat  was  taken  hy  The  Roman,  second 
by  Robert  Mc,  then  Jim  Ferry  took  two  heats  and 
the   race.     Summaries.

||  NOTES     AND     NEWS.  || 

California  State  Fair  opens  next  Saturday. 


Don't  miss   seeing  the  Occident  Stake  trotted  that 
day. 


The   Southern   California   trotting   circuit   will   open 
in  October.     There  will  be  five  or  six  meetings. 


North  Star  won  the  neat  sum  of  $1750  for  his  owner, 
J.  B.  Iverson  of  Salinas,  when  he  won  the  Breeders' 
Futurity  last  Saturday. 


Deloree  2:09%  is  a  royally  bred  trotter  and  looks 
to  be  one  of  the  best  ones  out  this  year.  She  is  by 
Delmarch  2:11%,  dam  Hindee  by  Allerton  2:09%,  sec- 
ond dam  Elloree  2:08%   by  Axtell  2:12. 


Swift  B.  2:12%,  whose  record  was  made  in  a  win- 
ning race,  is  showing  something  of  the  form  that  was 
expected  of  him  two  years  ago.  Look  out  for  a  mile 
belowr  2:10  by  him  before  the  season  is  over. 


Get  a  new  Flower  City  sulky  from  the  San  Francis- 
co "Wheel  and  Novelty  Company  and  you  will  not 
lose  the  race  because  your  horse  had  to  pull  a  hard- 
running  sulky. 


Nell  by  Estell  Eric  is  now  the  dam  of  eleven  standard 
performers,  and  four  of  them  are  in  the  2:10  list. 
These  are  Vassar  2:07,  Susie  T.  2:09%,  both  pacers, 
and  the  trotters  Belle  Vara  2:08%  and  Tom  Axworthy 
2:07.     Nell  is  the  greatest  of  brood  mares. 


Delia  McCarthy  by  McKinney  started  in  the  2:21 
class  trot  at  Saginaw,  Michigan,  last  week  but  fin- 
ished outside  the  money.  Her  best  heat  was  the  sec- 
ond, when  she  finished  third.  This  heat  was  in  2.18%. 
She  was  not  better  than  sixth  in  any  other  heat. 


Lena  N.  2:05%  has  a  bay  filly  at  foot  by  Directly 
2:03%.  This  should  be  a  pacer  of  the  two  minute 
class. 


Strathway  2:19  is  now  the  sire  of  two  2:10  trotters — 
Toggles  2.08%  and  John  Caldwell  2:09.  Both  are 
geldings. 


If  you  failed  to  enter  that  well  bred  foal  of  1905  in 
the  $7000  Breeders'  Futurity  put  in  your  application  to 
Secretary  Kelley  for  a  nomination.  There  are  few 
mares  that  failed  to  foal  and  a  few  more  whose  foals 
died.  You  may  be  able  to  get  one  of  these  at  the 
cost  of  same  to  date.  You  will  have  to  apply  quickly, 
however,  if  you  want  to  get  in. 


Nutwood  Wilkes  has  now  sired  three  trotters  that 
have  taken  records  better  than  2:14  in  their  three- 
year-old  form.  They  are  Who  Is  It  2:12,  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron  2:12%  and  North  Star  2:13%.  As  a  sire  of 
early  and  extreme  speed  Nutwood  Wilkes  is  certainly 
"the  goods,"  and  one  of  his  sons,  John  A.  McKerron 
2:04%,  is  the  fastest  trotting  stallion  of  all  the 
Wilkes  tribe. 


Fanny  G.  by  imported  Margrave  was  one  of  the 
great  thoroughbred  mares  whose  blood  has  helped  to 
make  the  fastest  trotters.  She  was  the  grandam  of 
Alma  Mater,  dam  of  eight  in  the  list,  and  of  such 
great  sires  as  Alcyone,  Alcantara,  Allandorf,  Alfonso, 
etc.  Fanny  G.  was  also  the  grandam  of  that  great 
thoroughbred  mare  Dame  Winnie  that  produced  Palo 
Alto  2:08%.  Altivo  2:18%  and  three  others  with 
standard  records.  Now  a  colt  that  is  bred  from  the 
very  best  trotting  strains  that  traces  to  old  Fanny 
G.  on  both  sides  of  his  pedigree  and  is  a  fine  individ- 
ual should  make  a  great  stock  horse.  Such  a  colt  is 
Hannibal,  son  of  Iran  Alto  2:12%  and  Alma  Wilks- 
wood  by  Alcantara,  second  dam  Emma  Nutwood,  a 
great  brood  mare  by  Nutwood,  third  dam  by  Black 
Hawk  767,  fourth  dam  by  old  30-mile  champion  Gen. 
Taylor,  and  fifth  dam  by  Williamson's  Belmont. 
Hannibal  is  advertised  for  sale  in  this  issue.  If  you 
want  a  good  one,  inquire  more  about  him,  and  then 
you'll  want  to  buy  him. 

Bolivar  2:08%  started  three  times  at  Buffalo  and 
won  twice. 


Miss  Georgie  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  reduced  her  rec- 
ord in  the  third  heat  of  the  2:12  pace  at  Dover,  New 
Hampshire  on  Thursday  of  last  week.  She  won  the 
race  very  handily  in  straight  heats  in  2:11%,  2:12% 
and  2:10%.  Miss  Georgie  is  owned  by  W.  A.  Clark 
Jr.  and  was  bred  by  Martin  Carter  of  Irvington,  Cal. 
Rey  del  Diablo  started  in  the  same  race  but  was  be- 
hind the  money. 


Make  your  payment,  the  third  one  of  $5,  on.  your 
foal  of  1905,  entered  in  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity. 
This  payment  must  be  made  on  or  before  September 
1st,  which  is  next  Friday.  Any  division  of  this  $8000 
guaranteed  stake  is  worth  winning. 


Demand  continues  very  active  in  the  City  of  Mexico 
for  high-class  carriage  horses  from  the  United  States. 
Of  late  several  loads  have  been  sent  on  to  the  Mexi- 
can capital  from  Chicago,  the  cost  being  about  $300  to 
$350  each.    Bay  is  the  favorite  color. 


Bonnie  Mac.  the  tlu^-year-old  fill,-  by  Bonnie  Di- 
rect 2.0o%,  dan,  Myrtle  2:13%,  owned  by  W.  H.  Lums- 
den  of  Santa  Rosa,  is  keeping  in  good  form  and  work- 
ing nicely  for  E,l  Benson,  who  is  preparing  her  for  the 
Kentucky  Futurity.  She  recently  trotted  a  mile  in 
2:14%.  last  half  in.  I :  On.  and  it  did  not  seem  to  bother 
her.  She  will  be  in  hot  company  in  that  big  stake, 
as  Susie  N.  2:13%  and  Katherine  L.  2:14%,  that  took 
their  records  at  Buffalo  two  weeks  ago,  are  both  in 
this   stake. 


The  mother  of  the  well  known  trainer  and  driver, 
John  Dickerson,  died  at  Greensburgh,  Illinois,  week 
before  last. 


East  View  Farm  does  not  seem  to  be  winning  many 
purses  this  year.  Bolivar  2:0S%  has  been  feeding  the 
other  horses  in  the  string  thus  far. 


Bystander  by  Zolock  won  two  heats  and  second 
money  at  Decatur,  Illinois,  August  16th.  His  two 
heats  were  in  2:14%  and  2:15.  Harry  B.-  won  the 
race  and  took  a  record  of  2:13%. 


C.  C.  Crippen  of  Mayfiekj  tells  the  following  story: 
In  the  only  race  in  which  ■North  Star,  winner  of  this 
year's  Breeders'  Futurity  for  three  year  olds,  started 
last  year,  he  won  the  first  heat  in  2:24.  It  was  at  San 
Jose  in  the  two-year-ol.i.  division  of  the  same  stake. 
In  the  second  heat  Will  durfee  turned  the  filly  Belle- 
mont  loose.  When  he  had  collared  North  Star  and 
felt  sure  that  Bellemont  had  him  at  her  mercy  he 
said  to  Whitehead, "'How' -do  you  like  her?"  Well,  of 
course  Whitehead  had  to  like  her,  as  she  won  that 
heat,  the  next  and  the  race.  In  the  third  heat  of  last 
Saturday's  race  at  Santa  Rosa,  Durfee  did  what  the 
public  expected  him  to  do — made  a  desperate  effort  to 
win.  He  got  on  even  terms  with  North  Star  on  the 
back  stretch,  and  for  a  ways  the  gelding  and  the  filly 
trotted  like  a  double  team.  Just  at  the  half  White- 
head turned  on  a  little  more  steam  and  at  the  same 
time  said  to  Durfee.  "How  do  you  like  him?"  "I  can't 
beat  you,"  Billy  responded.  Bellemont  evidently 
thought  so,  too,  as  she  immediately  made  a  break 
which  lost  her  all  chance  of  victory  over  the  colt  she 
vanquished  a  year  ago.  There  is  no  doubt  that  it  did 
Charley  Whitehead  as  much  good  to  ask  Will  Durfee 
that  question  as  it  did  Mr.  Iverson,  owner  of  North 
Star,  to  win  the  big  end  of  the  stake. 


T.  W.  Barstow's  filly  Just  It  paced  a  splendid  race 
in  the  three-year-old  division  of  the  Breeders'  Fu- 
turity at  Santa  Rosa  and  won  third  money.  In  last 
week's  Breeder  it  was  stated  that  Just  It  had  paced  a 
half  in  1:00%  at  San  Jose.  This  is  a  mistake.  It 
was.  Mr.  Barstow's  three-year-old  colt  High  Fly  that 
paced  that  phenomenal  half. 


W.  H.  Williams  at  the  San  Jose  track  advertises  a 
five-year-old  sorrel  gelding  for  sale  that  will  make  a 
fine  driving  horse  for  a  gentleman.  The  gelding  can 
step  a  quarter  in  37  seconds  and  is  perfectly  sound 
and  gentle. 


It  is  said  that  Dan  Mahoney  of  White  Plains,  New 
York,  sold  Deleree,  winner  of- the  Blue  Hill  Stake,  for 
$1S,500  a  week  before  the  race.  Mahoney  bought  her 
for  $500. 


The  Tulare  Fair  Association  -will  hold  a  fair  and 
race  meeting  at  Tulare  from  the  16th  to  the  21st  of 
October.  The  purses  will  be  $400  and  $500,  with  en- 
trance five  per  cent.  The  track,  which  is  a  fast  one, 
will  be  in  first  class  condition.  Secretary  Ingwerson 
announces  that  the  program  will  be  ready  for  publi- 
cation about  the  first  of  September.  For  any  infor- 
mation or  particulars  address  him  at  Tulare. 


In  the  published  lists  of  three  year  olds  on  which 
starting  payment  was  made  in  the  Harness  Stallion 
Stake  to  be  trotted  at  the  State  Fair  this  year,  the 
name  of  Thos.  Smith's  filly  Vallejo  Girl  has  been  in- 
advertently omitted.  Mr.  Smith's  filly  had  all  the 
payments  made  on  her  and  will  start  in  the  race. 


Will  Durfee,  who  looked  over  the  new  State  Fair 
track  at  Sacramento  last  Monday,  said:  "The  condi- 
tion of  the  track  is  excellent.  The  width,  the  soil  and 
the  grading  are  all  that  could  be  desired,  and  I  be- 
lieve it  will  be  very  fast.  In  my  opinion  it  is  the 
best  laid  track  in  California,  which  is  saying  a  good 
deal.  The  stable  accommodations  are  such  as  to  de- 
light the  heart  of  every  careful  trainer  and  owner." 


The  Tulare  race  track  and  grounds  are  offered  for 
sale  for  $7000.  There  is  a  fast  mile  track,  60  box 
stalls,  300  feet  of  open  stalls,  a  3000  gallon  tank  with 
engine  and  pump  complete.  The  grand  stand  will 
seat  2000  people.  There  is  u  six  room  cottage  on  the 
grounds  also.  Ten  acres  are  in  alfalfa  and  the  place 
can  be  made  to  pay  a  handsome  profit  on  the  invest- 
ment. The  price  asked  for  the  entire  plant  is  only 
$7000.  As  there  are  90  acres  of  land  this  is  a  rare 
bargain.  If  you  are  interested  write  to  the  Breeder 
and   Sportsman   for  terms. 


Winfield  Stratton.  son  of  Chas.  Derby's  brother, 
Saraway,  has  reduced  his  record  a  half  second  and  it 
is  now   2:05%. 


The  three  quarter  mile  track  at  Davisville,  Yolo 
county,  is  not  yet  completed,  but  will  be  before  the 
1906  training  season  opens.  The  new  track  was  laid 
out  in  an  old  vineyard  and  a  great  deal  of  work  Is 
required  to  put  it  in  shape.  The  survey  was  made, 
the  old  vines  pulled  up,  and  the  track  graded,  but  it 
has  been  decided  to  defer  the  working  of  the  surface 
into  shape  until  after  the  fall  rains.  A  number  of 
trainers  have  signified  their  intention  of  locating 
there  when  the  track  Is  finished  and  stalls  built. 


Adam  G.  and  Charley  T.  are  both  entered  for  the 
-:15  class  trot  which  is  down  for  decision  on  the  open- 
ing day  of  the  State  Fair.  Those  who  saw  the  split 
heat  fast  race  at  Santa  Rosa  on  the  opening  day  in' 
the  race  where  these  two  were  contenders  will  not 
lie  sin-prised  to  see  another  just  such  race  when  they 
meet  at  the  new  Sacramento  track. 


Palmer  Clark  says  there  is  a  prevalent  opinion,  on 
account  of  her  name,  that  The  Broncho  is  not  well 
bred,  but  the  opinion  is  all  wrong.  She  was  bred  by 
her  present  owner,  R.  D.  Adams,  Dixon.  111.,  and  is 
now  seven  years  old.  Her  sire,  Stormcliffe,  was  by 
■W  ychffe  and  he  by  George  Wilkes,  out  of  a  Mambrino 
Patchen  mare.  Stormcliffe's  dam  was  Happy  Prin- 
cess, record  2:23,  by  Happy  Medium  and  out  of  a 
great  brood  mare  by  a  son  of  George  M.  Patchen 
while  the  dam  of  The  Broncho  was  also  by  a  grand- 
son of  George  M.  Patchen  Her  grandam  was  by 
Lakeland  Abdallah,  a  full  brother  to  Harold,  sire  of 
Maud  S.  She  got  her  name  through  her  unruly  dis- 
position when  she  was  broken,  and  that  she  should, 
have  proved  such  a  speedy  and  ideal  mannered  mare  is 
certainly  greatly  to  the  credit  of  her  trainer  and 
driver,  Charles  Dean. 


The  2:09  class  pace  on  the  opening  day  of  the  Cali- 
fornia State  fair  should  prove  a  great  contest.  Zolock 
is  not  in  this  race,  but  there  is  a  great  bunch  of  fast 
ones.  Those  entered  are  Daedalion  2:10,  Nellie  R. 
2:10.  Miss  Idaho  2:10%,  Nance  O'Neill  2:09%,  Alone 
2:09%,  Vision  2.09%,  Jonesa  Basler  2:11%,  Kelly 
Briggs  2:09%,  Tidal  Wave  2:09,  Rita  H.,  2:11%,  Le 
Roi  2:10%,  and  Hassalo  2:11. 


Arroyo  Grande,  in  San  Luis  Obispo  county,  is  ar- 
ranging for  a  race  meeting  to  take  place  in  Novem- 
ber. The  meeting  will  probably  extend  over  three 
days.  Many  local  horses  are  being  prepared  for  the 
events. 


Washington  Park,  Chicago,  where  the  amateur  cup 
races  are  to  be  held'  this  year,  is  a  very  slow  track 
for  trotters  and  fast  time  need  not  be  expected. 
Major  Delmar  and  Lou  Dillon  will  both  go  exhibition 
miles,  but  will  not  come  within  seconds  of  their  rec- 
ords owing  to  the  soft  track  which,  while  ideal  for 
runners,  is  not  suited  for  harness  horses. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson  of  Salinas,  breeder  and  owner  of 
Nor*h  Star  2:13%,  has  not  been  a  very  extensive 
breeder,  but  so  far  as  quality  is  concerned  he  has 
made  a  commendable  showing.  Among  the  record 
horses  bred  by  him  are  Dictatress  2:0S%,  North  Star 
(3)  2:13%,  Princess  2:13%,  Prince  Gift  2:12,  Diablita 
2:15%,  the  first  and  last  named  being  pacers,  the 
others  all  trotters.  Mr.  Iverson  has  bred  many  others 
with  records,  but  the  above  are  a  few  which  we  re- 
call from  memory. 


Owyho  2:09%,  son, of  Owyee  and  Bertha,  dam  of 
Diablo  2. OS1.,,  Don  Deibv  0i%,  etc.,  paced  a  great 
race  at  Poughkeepsie  when  he  finished  a  close  second 
to  Peiflna  in  two  heats  in  2:06%.  Great  is  the  family 
of  Bertha. 


The  death  of  Gen.  A.  W.  Barrett  of  Los  Angeles 
was  anounced  last  week.  Gen.  Barrett  was  at  one 
time  a  Director  of  the  California  State  Agricultural 
Society  and  often  acted  as  one  of  the  udges  during  the 
races  held  at  the  annual  State  Fair.  He  was  also 
Bank  Commissioner  under  Governor  Budd.  He  ren- 
dered brilliant  service  in  the  army  during  the  Civil 
War,  and  was  honorably  discharged  in  1S65.  Gen. 
Barrett  was  held  in  great  esteem  by  all  who  knew 
him.   . 


S.  E.  Kent  of  Los  Angeles  should  have  the  honor 
of  making  a  new  2:10  performer  this  year.  He  drove 
Bonnie  Ailsie  to  her  record  of  2:08%  at  the  Los  An- 
geles meeting  in  July. 


Los  Angeles  and  Sonoma  counties  were  both  bene- 
fitted by  an-  exchange  of  horses  that  was  effected  at 
Santa  Rosa  last  week  during  the  Breeders'  meeting. 
Frank  S.  Turner,  lessee  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock 
Farm,  sold  two  splendidly  bred  Sidney  Dillon  two- 
year-olds  to  Mrs.  L.  J.  H.  Hastings  of  Los  Angeles, 
and  purchased  from  that  lady  the  well  bred  stallion 
Sky  Pointer  Jr..  son  of  Sky  Pointer  and  Juliet  D. 
2:13%  by  McKinney.  The  Sidney  Dillon  youngsters 
secured  by  Mrs.  Hastings  were  Judge  Dillon,  a  grand 
looking  two-year-old  colt  whose  dam  is  that  great 
brood  mare  Eveline,  dam  of  Ole  2:10%,  Roblet  2.12. 
Tietam  2:19,  etc.,  by  Nutwood,  and  Rapidan  Dillon, 
that  is  out  of  the  famous  $10,000  mare  By  By  by  Nut- 
wood. By  By  is  the  dam  of  Morengo  King  that 
worked  a  mile  in  2:13%  and  of  L.  W.  Russell,  sire  of 
five  or  six  in  the  list.  It  is  stated  that  Sky  Pointer 
Jr.  was  traded  even  for  Rapidan  Dillon,  and  that 
Mrs.  Hastings  paid  $2500  for  the  colt  Judge  Dillon. 


It  is  said  that  no  less  than  one  thousand  horses  and 
mules  are  at  work  on  the  Moulton  levee  In  Colusa 
county  at  the  present  time.  This  levee,  when  com- 
pleted, will  reclaim  thousands  of  acres  of  rich  land, 
and  protect  many  thousand  more  from  overflow  from 
the  waters  of  the  Sacramento  River  during  the  rainy 
seasons. 


When  praising  the  colt  that  won  the  Breeders' 
Futurity  for  three-year-olds,  trotting  two  heats  in 
2:13%,  don't  forget  to  say  a  good  word  or  two  for 
Athasham,  Mr.  George  Warlow's  good  colt  by  Atha- 
don,  that  was  a  good  second  in  both  those  heats. 
Athasham  trotted  beter  than  2:15  twice  in  the  race. 


A  small  boy  and  his  father  were  on  the  special  re- 
turning from  Santa  Rosa  last  Saturday  evening.  The 
"kid"  after  looking  out  the  window  for  a  long  time, 
gazing  at  the  heavens,  said,  "Say,  pop.  how  does  the 
north  star  stay  in  the  same  place  all  the  time."  Pater 
familias  looked  at  his  hopeful  with  a  look  of  disgust 
for  a  moment,  and  tearing  up  a  bunch  of  tickets  on 
Bellemont  he  had  taken  from  his  pocket,  replied, 
"Because  he's  too  damn  fast  for  the  others  to  get  up 
to  him."

AT    THE    TRAPS. 


The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  live  bird  shoot  and  outing 
at  Reclamation  tomorrow  promises  to  draw  a  big 
attendance  of  shooters.  The  club  in  its  day  was  a 
popular  organization,  until  it  was  absorbed  by  the 
Golden  Gate  Gun  Club.  Edgar  L.  Foster  will  act  as 
Captain  of  the  day. 


The  Empire  Gun  Club  merchandise  shoot  on  Sep- 
tember 9th  and  10th  will  be  a  "corker."  The  program 
of  events  will  be  practically  the  same  as  at  the  shoot 
last  year.  A  large  and  varied  list  of  prizes  has  been 
donated  by  friends  of  the  club.  President  James  P. 
Sweeney  and  Secretary  J.  B.  Hauer  are  to  be  con- 
gratulated on  the  auspicious  outlook  for  a  big  shoot. 
The  general  committee  is  composed  of  Edgar  Forster, 
Golden  Gate  Club;  H.  Ricklefson  of  the  Blue  Rock 
Gun  Club;  Robert  Van  Norden  of  the  Millwood  Gun 
Club;  J.  P.  Sweeney,  Empire  Gun  Club;  J.  W.  Jeff- 
reys of  the  Antler  Gun  Club;  J.  W.  Elias  of  the  Val- 
lejo Gun  Club;  F.  W.  Hesse  Jr.  of  the  Santa  Rosa 
Gun  Club;  William  Hansen  of  the  Hercules  Gun 
Club;  W.  Sink  of  the  St.  Helena  Gun  Club;  Dr.  A.  M. 
Barker  of  the  San  Jose  Gun  Club;  Charles  Reams  of 
the  Napa  Gun  Club,  and  C.  F.  TVhalen  of  the  Mountain 
View    Gun    Club. 


The  Santa  Rosa  Gun  Club  shoot  on  the  13th  inst. 
was  not  as  well  attended  as  usual.  The  result  of  the 
medal  shoot  was  in  favor  of  Slusser,  the  score  being: 
Morrow,  IS  yards,  28  targets  shot  at,  broke  15;  Slus- 
ser, 20.  25—19;  Resse,  20.  25—17;  Mead,  IS.  28—10. 
The  absent  members   will   shoot  off  the  match  later. 

The  tie  of  the  last  shoot  for  the  Lafiin  &  Rand  cup 
between  Mead  and  Guiltnan  was  shot  off  at  15  targets 
and  was  won  by  the  former  by  a  score  of  11  to  10. 
The  shoot  for  the  cup  Sunday  left  Hesse  in  the  lead, 
the  score  being.  Mead,  16  yards,  29  targets  shot  at, 
broke  18;  Slusser,  IS,  25—20:  Guiltnan,  IS,  2S— 15; 
Morrow,  16.  2S— 17;  Hesse,  16.  26—23.  Other  mem- 
bers will  shoot  off  the  match  later. 


Sixty  targets  was  the  allotment  for  each  member  of 
the  Petaluma  Gun  Club  who  competed  in  the  club 
program  on  the  13th  inst.  This  shoot  was  the  second 
of  the  club  prize  series.  J.  Lopus  is  high  gun  in  this 
race  at  present. 

Following  are  the  scores  of  those  who  have  already 
completed  their  60  target  allowance;  J.  Lopus  50, 
P.  L.  Murphy  47.  T.  Mego  46,  F.  Carter,  45.  Summer- 
field  45,  J  Steiger  43,  E.  E.  Drees  41,  Dr.  TV.  Hall  41, 
Joe  Clark  35. 


A  large  delegation  of  members  of  the  Eureka  Gun 
Club  August  13th  responded  to  the  invitation  of  the 
Trinidad  Gun  Club  and  were  royally  entertained 
through  the  day  by  the  txapshooters  of  the  old  Klam- 
ath county  seat  by  the  sea.  The  day  was  passed  with 
shooting,  feasting,  a  little  more  shooting  and  a  little 
more  feasting.  The  menu,  of  course,  included  the 
clams  and  mussels  for  which  the  ocean  beach  in  the 
vicinity  of  Trinidad  is  famous,  but  there  were  many 
other  good  things  supplied  for  the  delectation  of  the 
visiting  Eurekans.  The  shooting  between  teams  from 
the  two  clubs  was  one  of  the  interesting  features  of 
the  day,  Each  year  the  Eureka  shooters  pay  a  visit 
to  Trinidad  and  the  trip  is  ever  anticipated  with  pleas- 
ure. 


The  Pacific  Coast  Trap  Shooters*  Association  an- 
nounce an  open  to  all  merchandise  prize  shoot  for 
Sunday,  October  1st,  on  the  Empire  Club  grounds, 
Alameda  Junction. 


Trap  shooters  of  the  Coast  are  looking  forward  to 
the  Interstate  shoot  as  the  coming  great  event  In  the 
annals  of  sport  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

Los  Angeles  shooters,  and  there  are  some  cracks 


down  south,  are  getting  ready  for  the  blue  rock  foray. 

Ten  past  masters  of  the  modern  art  of.  saucer 
smashing,  who  are  to  represent  the  Los  Angeles  Gun 
Club  at  the  big  interstate  shoot  in  San  Francisco  next 
month  have  been  assiduously  practicing  at  the  Sher- 
man grounds. 

One  by  one  the  scatter-gunners  have  come  forward 
until  from  two  or  three,  the  club  is  now  assured  of 
two  full  squads  at  the  blue-ribbon  event  of  the  year 
in  trap-shooting  circles.  Ten  of  the  best  shots  in 
Southern  California  will  turn  loose  on  the  firing  line 
for  some  of  that  $1500  added  money  which  Elmer 
Shaner  and  his  associates  have  succeeded  in  getting 
together  out  of  the  Interstate  Association. 


The  California  Wing  Club,  it  has  been  decided,  will 
close  the  live  bird  season  with  the  final  club  shoot  to- 
morrow at  Ingleside.  The  race  will  be  at  20  pigeons — 
making  100  birds  for  each  member  to  shoot  at  the 
seven  regular  shoots  for  1905.  A  purse  amounting  to 
$150  will  be  divided  among  the  high  guns.  The  money 
division  has  generally  been  one  money  for  each  three 
entries. 


Charles  Van  Valkenburg,  Guy  Lovelace.  C.  D.  Hager- 
man,  R.  H.  Bungay.  S.  R.  Smith.  Fred  Gilbert,  J.  F. 
Gibson.  Gus  Knight,  Jr.,  C.  L-.  Julian  of  San  Diego, 
Hip  Justins  and  H.  P.  Densel  are  already  in  line  with 
a  prospect  of-  A.  W.  Bruner  and  some  others  of  the 
former  greats  stepping  to  the  score  when  the  proper 
time  comes. 


In  all  probability  some  sort  of  Pacific  Coast  trap 
shooters'  association  will  be  formed  at  the  big  shoot, 
as  representatives  of  all  the  big  gun  clubs  from  San 
Diego  to  Seattle  will  be  hobnobbing  with  each  other 
in  one  big  sportsman's  reunion.  There  has  long  been 
felt  a  need  for  something  of  the  sort. 


The  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club  has  received  its  Dickey 
Bird  trap,  and  will  have  the  new  machine  installed 
as  an  aid  to  the  Leggett. 


The  aim  of  the  Interstate  Association,  an  organiza- 
tion that  was  formed  and  incorporated  for  the  en- 
couragement of  trap  shooting,  in  giving  tournaments 
is  to  foster  a  sport  that  is  deservedly  popular;  to 
bring  together  experts,  semi-experts  and  novices;  to 
safeguard  the  interests  of  both  and  to  illustrate  how 
a  large  trap  shooting  event  should  be  run. 

In  this  laudable  interest  for  trap  shooting  at  large 
the  association  has  accomplished  much.  Seven  big 
tournaments  have  been  successfully  run  so  far  this 
season.  Next  week  the  Interstate  shoot  at  Colorado 
Springs  will  take  place,  shortly  followed  by  the  Ingle- 
side tournament,  which  will  complete  the  itinerary  for 
the  year. 

The  magnitude  of  the  work  accomplished  and  con- 
templated is  shown  in  the  following  list  of  shoots  of 
the  Interstate  Association  for  the  season's  circuit  of 
1905; 

Augusta,  Ga ,  April  5  and  6.  Under  auspices  of  the 
Augusta  Gun  Club.

tart  square,  Pittsburg,  Pa. 


Following  the  Interstate  Association's  shoot  at  Col- 
orado Springs,  comes  the  Grand  Western  Handicap 
at  Trinidad,  Colo.,  Sept.  4,  5  and  6.  For  the  first  and 
second  days  at  the  latter  shoot  there  is  scheduled  a 
daily  program  of  200  targets,  lull  entrance  $20,  with 
$200  in  added  money.  Everybody  will  shoot  from  16 
yards.  For  high  professional  average  each  day  $20  in 
cash  will  be  given.  For  high  amateur  $20,  for  second 
high  $10.  This  average,  of  course,  is  based  on  the 
full  200-target  program;  money  divided  in  case  of 
ties. 

On  the  final  day  a  free-for-all  handicap -of  100  tar- 
gets is  scheduled,  entrance  $10,  $100  added.  Six 
moneys,  10,  8.  7.  6,  5  and  4.  To  the  winner  a  trophy 
worth  $65  will  be  given  Event  two  is  at  100  targets, 
entrance  $10.  This  is  the  Denver  Post  trophy  event 
and  carries  $150  in  added  money.  Club  traps  and 
"blackbirds"  will  be  used.  Frank  B.  Cunningham  of 
St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  will  be  identified  with  the  manage- 
ment of  the  shoot  and  the  Trinidad  membership  prom- 
ises "fair  field  and  no  favor"  to  all.  This  tournament 
deserves  well  at  the  hands  of  the  territorial  shooting 
fraternity  and  no  doubt  the  expectation  of  the  man- 
aging club  will  be  realized. 


That  there  is  a  decided  boom  in  Coast  trap  shooting 
has  been  strongly  in  evidence  this  season.  The  big  tour- 
naments at  Ingleside.  Los  Angeles.  San  Diego,  Sacra- 
mento, Gridley,  Portland,  Vaffcouver,  B.  C,  and  many 
smaller,  but  none  the  less  enthusiastic  shoots,  at  many 
other  points  in  California,  Washington  and  Oregon, 
have  started  what  will  probably  be  a  lively  trap  sea- 
son all  round  for  next  year. 

The  Medford  Gun  Club  announces  a  two  day  tourna- 
ment for  September  22nd  and  23rd  It  is  expected 
that  a  number  of  shooters  attending  at  Ingleside  will 
jo-'rney  to  Oregon  to  join  issue  with  the  northern

will  be  taken,  if  it  is  so  wished,  for  fishing  trips  to 
the  Rogue  river,  the  most  famous  trouting  river  on

The  usual  strong  turnout  of  shooters  was  present 
it  the  Union  Gun  Club  shoot  at  Ingleside  on  the  20th 
nst.  In  the  club  match  every  shooter  in  the  first 
•lass  was  in  the  money  division.  Otto  Feudner,  who 
las  been  shooting  up  to  his  former  gait,  was  high 
run  in  the  class.  Every  man,  excepting  Murdock,  cut 
n-.on  the  first  class  purse,  Daniels  being  the  high 
jun.  Three  of  four  shooters  in  the  second  class  re- 
eived  the  best  money  awards  in  the  match  Jacobsen 
hot  into  first  place.  Harvey  Schneider,  "Woods  Jr., 
)r.  Finnie  and  Leary  were  the  winners,  in  the  order 
riven,  among  the  third  class  contestants. 

The  medal  race  brought  a  series  of  well  fought  con- 
ests  in  each  of  the  four  classes  of  shooters.  Otto 
'eudner  scored  a  straight  and  won  the  monthly  medal 
iung  up  for  the  champions.  Dr.  Pitres  (18  yards)  tied 
furdock  for  the  first  class  medal  and  won  out  in  the 
hoot  off.  Shields  won  the  second  class  medal  for 
he  second  time;  he  stood  at  the  18  yard  peg.  Schnei- 
er  annexed  the  third  class  medal.     It  will  be  noticed 

1  going  over  the  scores  of  the  race  that  most  of  the 
revious  winners  evidently  found  the  IS  and  20  yard 
andicap  a  bit  too  strong  to  maintain  their  supremacy. 
'his  is  what  gives  the  medal  shoot  an  added  charm — 
le  prizes  are  evidently  not  mortgaged  to  any  indi- 
idual   shooters. 

The  mixed  race,  at  singles  and  doubles,  was  won 
y  Haight  and  Schneider;  Wilson,  O.  Feudner,  Jacob- 
in, Swales  were  also  in  the  money. 
The  Phil  B.  Beakeart  challenge  cup  race  brought  out 
>ur  contestants,  Otto  Feudner  winning  the  shoot  in 
score  of  91  out  of  100  targets.  Daniels  and  Schultz 
so  competed.  The  scores  made  in  the  three  club

t  has  been  noticed  this  summer  that  not  as  many

t-  -  miles  and  kill  what  they  hit.  This  class  never 
ds  much  damage  to  the  deer,  but  they  usually  man-

S  ie  riflemen  vowed  that  if  the  exodus  of  amateurs 
tl  i  year  was  up  to  that  of  last,  they  would  buy  red 
I  5  and  hunt  in  nothing  else,  whether  the  deer  liked 
tl  gory  headpieces  or  not.     "Better  to  lose  a  chance

The  purses  in  all  events  except  the  two  handicaps

of  9-5-2  for  15-target  events,  and  at  a  ratio  of  12-9-5

In  the  handicap  events  ties  that  are  shot  off  will  be 
at  20  targets  per  man,  and  the  original  distances  con- 
testants stand  at  will  govern. 

The  handicap  committee  is  composed  of  M.  J.  Iver- 
son, San  Francisco;  W.  H.  Varien,  Pacific  Grove;  M. 
Abrahams,  Portland;  Guy  Lovelace,  Los  Angeles,  and 
F.  K.  McBroom,  Spokane.  The  committee  will  meet 
at  the  Palace  Hotel  on  the  evenings  of  September  15th 
and  16th  to  award  handicaps  for  the  Preliminary 
and  the  Coast  Handicaps  respectively. 

The  grounds  will  be  open  for  practice  and  sweep- 
stakes on  the  afternoon  of  September  14th.  Practice 
targets  will  cost  2  cents  each.  The  price  of  targets 
during  the  tournament  will  be  2y2  cents.  "Shooting 
names"  will  not  be  countenanced.  Shooting  "for  tar-

all  other  contestants  must  make  entry  for  the  purses. 

There  will  be  no  practice  shooting  allowed,  .or  pre- 
liminary events  shot,  prior  to  the  commencing  of  the 
regular  events  scheduled  for  the  day.  Contestants  are 
requested  to  make  entries  for  the  entire  program  each 
day.  Money  will  be  refunded  in  all  uncontested  events, 
except  the  two  handicaps,  and  the  contestant  has  but 
to  notify  the  cashier  of  his  intention  to  withdraw. 

In  case  entries  are  so  numerous  that  events  cannot 
be  finished  until  late  any  day— thus  keeping  the  com- 
piler of  scores  back  with  his  work — a  branch  of  both 
the  cashier's  and  compiler  of  scores'  offices  will  be 
opened  that  night  in  the  Palace  Hotel,  where  winners 
of  money  can  secure  the  amounts  due  them  or  they 
can  obtain  same  at  the  shooting  grounds  the  next  day. 

The  Interstate  Association  and  the  San  Francisco 
Trap  Shooting  Association  adds  $1,500,  of  which 
amount  $150  is  reserved  to  purchase  trophies— $100  for 
a  trophy  for  the  winner  of  first  money  in  the  Pacific 
Coast  Handicap,  and  $50  for  a  trophy  for  the  winner 
of  first  money  in  the  Preliminary  Handicap. 

Guns,  ammunition,  etc..  forwarded  by  express  must 
be  prepaid  and  sent  to  one  of  the  following  sporting 
goods  houses:  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co..  538  Market

The  Interstate  Association  will  have  its  headquar- 
ters at  the  Palace  Hotel,  one  of  the  largest  and  best 
equipped  hotels  in  the  world.  Sportsmen  can  also 
secure  accommodations  at  the  Grand  Hotel  adjoining 
and  which  is  operated  under  the  same  management. 


Xo  expense  will  be  spared  to  make  the  tournament 
run  smoothly.  The  most  expert  and  competent  help 
will  be  secured,  and  the  office"  force  will  be  large  and 
capable.  Special  attention  is  called  to  the  schedule  of 
events  erranged  for  each  day.  The  conditions  of  the 
handicap  events  merit — and  will,  of  course,  receive — 
more  careful  study  than  usual. 

Further  information  relative  to  the  tournament  will 
be  cheerfully  furnished  by  A.  M.  Shields.  Secretary, 
San  Francisco  Trap  Shooting  Association,  Crocker 
building.  San  Francisco,  Cal..  or  by  Elmer  E.  Shaner.

Coltart  Square,  Pittsburg,  Pa. 

During  the  tournament  it  is  proposed  to  have  a 
team  race  for  a  valuable  trophy — practically  the  East 
against  the  West.  As  many  teams  as  wish  to  enter 
can  go  into  the  contest.  Throughout  the  tournament 
targets  will  be  thrown  about  50  yards.  The  shooting 
will  commence  at  9  a.  m.  sharp  each  day. 


The    County    Game    Law    Decision. 


For  the  benefit  of  sportsmen,  generally,  Judge  M.  T. 
Allen,  who  recently  wrote  the  decision  of  the  Appel- 
late Court  at  Los  Angeles  on  the  county  game  law 
case,  consented  last  week,  in  an  interview,  to  explain 
it,  and  clear  up  some  of  the  present  muddle. 

The  decision  is  very  generally  misunderstood.  beth 
In  Los  Angeles  county  and  elsewhere. 

Judge  Allen  states  that  the  various  dove  ordinances 
of  all  the  counties  of  the  southern  district  were 
knocked  out  by  the  court  on  the  ground  of  unreason- 
ableness, only  two  of  the  judges  concurring  that  they 
were  unconstitutional.  Three  are  necessary  before  a 
law  can  be  rendered  invalid,  and  Judge  Smith,  while 
concurring  with  his  fellow-judges  upon  the  unreason- 
ableness of  the  law,  did  not  pass  upon  the  constitu- 
tionality phase  of  the  case. 

It  will  be  remembered  Henry  T.  Gage  "butted  in"  on 
the  proceedings  at  the  eleventh  hour,  as  a  friend  of 
the  court,  "amicus  curiae,"  to  use  a  legal  term,  and 
introduced  the  element  of  reasonableness  into  the  con- 
troversy— an  element  which  the  sportsmen  and  other 
interests  who  were  testing  the  law  most  desired  kept 
out  of  the  issue.  *They  wished  to  settle  once  for  all 
the  status  of  the  detested  county  laws.  This  new 
element  in  the  argument  made  possible  a  sort  of  com- 
promise  settlement. 

As  to  the  deer  law  and  other  county  ordinances. 
Judge  Allen  would  not  care  to  express  an  opinion, 
other  than  another  test  case  upon  some  ordinance 
which  was  conceded  to  be  not  unreasonable  would 
be  neded  to  completely  clear  the  situation. 

The  dove  law,  however,  is  held  by  that  decision  to 
be  invalid,  and  not  only  Los  Angeles,  but  every  other 
county  in  the  southern  district  at  least,  if  not  through- 
out the  state,  is  bound  by  it.  In  other  words,  the 
State  dove  law  alone  governs  Southern  California. 

As  to  deer,  and  other  game,  there  may  be  some 
question.  Judge  Allen  and  Judge  Gray  concurred  in 
adjudging  the  c  ounty  ordinances  unconstitutional; 
what  ruling  Judge  Smith  would  make  on  the  matter 
can  only  be  told  by  another  case,  as  he  neither  in 
public  nor  in  private  has  expressed  an  opinion. 

It  is  too  bad  that  the  matter  could  hot  have  been 
adjudicated  fully  and  to  everybody's  satisfaction  in 
the  case  referred  to.  It  is  the  opinion  of  well  in- 
formed attorneys  that  the  county  ordinances  are  all 
in  the  same  boat  and  incapable  of  enforcement,  but 
some  of  them  are  still  on  the  books,  and  convictions 
probably  could  be  had  under  them  if  they  were  not 
fought  vigorously. 

The  case  is  now  before  the  Supreme  Court,  for  final 
adjudication. 


Dove    Shooting    in    Fresno    County. 

The  bang,  bang  of  shotguns  sounded  the  death  knell 
for  many  a  dove  in  Fresno  county  on  the  loth  inst. 
Similar  bang,  bangs  had  been  sounding  similar  death 
knells  for  several  days  prior  because  a  number  of 
local  sportsmen  had  seen  in  the  newspapers  that  the 
Appellate  Court  of  this  State  sitting  in  Los  Angeles 
had  decided  that  where  county  and  State  game  laws 
were  in  conflict  with  the  State  law  was  to  have  prece- 
dent and  should  be  followed. 

The  State  law  allows  the  killing  of  the  cooing  dove 
after  July  15th.  Fresno  county  desired  that  the  doves 
thereabouts  should  continue  living  undisturbed  by 
fine  shot  until  August  15th,  and  so  the  county  law 
was  made  to  read  that  dealing  death  to  doves  before 
that  date  should  be  classed  as  a  misdemeanor. 

However,  that  date  was  in  reality  the  openig  of 
the  dove  season  in  Fresno  county  and  many  local 
sportsmen  were  out  in  the  early  morning  and  the  late 
evening  bagging  the,  dove  as  their  skill  with  the  gun 
and  their  luck  at  finding  the  bird  permitted.  All  of 
those  who  were  out  reported  dove  plentiful.  Among 
those  who  got  the  limit  were  Charles  Burleigh,  Fred 
Nance.  James   Cronkhite  and    Ed   Hamilton. 


Truckee    River    Pollution. 

The  paper  mill  at  Floriston,  on  the  Truckee  river, 
in  Nevada  State,  has  been  anathemized  by  anglers 
who  have  fished  that  section  of  the  river.  The  refuse 
from  the  mill,  it  has  been  claimed,  was  not  only  dele- 
terious to  fish  life,  but  as  a  pollution  of  drinking 
water  it  became  consequently  a  menace  to  health,  for 
the  city  of  Reno  depends  upon  the  Truckee  river  for 
its  water  supply. 

Anglers,  for  one  class,  and  particularly  the  large 
body  of  sportsmen  who  are  wont  to  enjoy  trout  fishing 
in  the  Truckee.  below  Floriston,  will  be  pleased  to 
hear  that  legal  action  has  been  brought  by  the  State 
of  Nevada  to  restrain  the  Floriston  Pulp  and  Paper 
Company  from  running  or  dumping  the  alleged  foul- 
ing matter  into  the  river.  An  imposing  array  of  legal 
talent  Is  lined  up  on  both  sides  In  the  suit  and  a  hard 
fought  battle  Is  looked  for.

it  may  be  remarked  that  the  rods  in  use  are  all  of  one 
piece.'  and  by  "tip"  is  meant  all  that  portion  of  the 
rod  from  the  reel  seat  to  the  end  of  the  rod.  The 
line  must  not  contain  more  than  24  threads  or  strands, 
and  be  capable  of  sustaining  not  more  than  48  pounds 
in  dead  weight.  The  angler  must  bring  his  fish  to  gaff 
unaided,  and  the  fish  must  be  reeled  in.  A  broken  rod, 
either  before  or  after  gaffing,  disqualifies  the  angler. 
The  tournament  is  open  to  amateurs  only,  the  pro- 
fessional boatmen  of  the  island  being  barred.  Only 
one  rod  can  be  used  by  each  angler.  All  the  catches 
made  with  a  view  of  competing  for   prizes  must  be

received  by  him  from  Portland,  Or.  With  these  as 
the  nucleus  he  hopes  to  accomplish  what  has  hereto- 
fore been  a  failure  in  that  line. 

Several  years  ago  a  number  of  the  birds  were  lib- 
erated near  Sanla  Rosa  and  at  Skaggs'  Springs.  Im- 
mediately every  person  who  owned  or  could  hire  01 
borrow  a  shotgun  took  a  hand  in  exterminating  them 
The  quick  result  was  no  more  pheasants. 

Mr.  Carrington  intends  to  set  loose,  here  and  there 
pairs  of  young  pheasants  where  they  will  be  renderec 
reasonable  protection.     The  birds  will  be  turned  oir

is  indispensable  for  their  propagation,  that  there  1

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

worlds  to  conquer.  Once  you  catch  a  tuna  it  spoils

tion is  then  centered  in  catching  another  and  a  bigger 

""•To  realize  the  true  significance  of  the  Tuna  Club 
it  must  be  shown  that  nowhere  except  in  the  waters 
adjacent  to  Santa  Catalina  Island  is  this  prince  of 
fish  taken  with  rod  and  reel.  While  this  is  true,  gen- 
eral! v  speaking,  exceptions  are  the  rule  at  times.  This 
vear' several  tuna  were  taken  in  Monterey  bay  by  net 
™„.  They  were  not  very  large  fish,  however, 
hut  big  enough  to  play  hob  with  the  netting  gear. 
Tuna  have  been  also  seen  at  times  in  the  Santa  Bar 
bars  channel.  Tuna  are  also  caught  ln  the  Mediter- 
ranean. When  they  get  tangled  up  in  the  nets  of 
the  fishermen  who  supply  the  markets  they  create 
such  havoc  that  they  are  gladly  liberated  with  as  Ut- 
ile damage  as  possible.  But  in  the  clear  waters  of 
the  Pacific,  in  that  marvelously  clear  channel  between 
Catalina  Island  and  San  Pedro,  on  the  mainland,  they 
come  every  summer  to  disport  themselves  and  to  feed 
upon  the  flying  flsh,  for  which  they  leap  into  the  air 
with  all  the  zest  of  the  chase.  Although  fbr  years  they 
had  been  caught  spasmodically,  it  was  not  until  1&99 
that  several  devotees  of  the  sport  conceived  the  idea 
of  organizing  a  club  on   competitive  lines 

The  member  who  caught  the  largest  fish  during  the 
season,  from  May  1  to  October  1.  was  to  become 
president  of  the  club  and  to  receive  a  medal  setting 
forth  that  honor.  Professor  Charles  Frederick  Holder 
the  naturalist  and  author,  carried  off  the  prize  that 
year,  his  fish  weighing  183  pounds.  The  next  year 
Colonel  Moorehouse  landed  his  251-pounder,  entitling 
him  to  the  presidency  and  establishing  a  record  that 
has  never  been  broken,  a  record  that  every  member  of 
the  club  secretly  dreams  of  some  day  shattering. 

Then  the  plans  of  the  club  broadened,  and  as  the 
membership  increased  it  was  feared  that  Colonel 
Moorehouse  might  hold  the  presidency  indefinitely,  so 
it  was  decided  to  hold  annual  meetings,  at  which  an 
election  of  officers  should  figure.  This  is  now  done, 
and  a  cup  is  presented  to  the  member  who  makes 
the  largest  catch  of  the  season. 

Since  the  organization  of  the  club  the  honors  have 
cone  as  follows:  Season  of  1899,  Professor  Holder, 
Pasadena  Cal..  183  pounds;  season  of  1901,  Colonel 
Moorehouse.  Pasadena,  Cal.,  251  pounds;  season  of

Chicago    Fly-Casting    Tournament. 

H.  G.  Hascall  broke  all  records  in  distance  and 
accuracy  fly-casting  at  the  fourth  tournament  of  the 
Chicago  Fly  Casting  Club  at  Garfield  Park  on  the 
18th  inst.  Hascall  made  99  2-3  points  out  of  a  pos- 
sible 100,  which  is  said  to  be  the  best  performance 
ever  made  in  a  casting  tournament. 

The  first  day  of  the  tournament  was  marked  by 
excellent  work,  there  being  a  goodly  number  of  con- 
testants in  the  various  events. 

In    long   distance    casting,    the    winning    score   was     | 
120  feet,  made  by  E.  J.  Mills  of  New  York.    A  perusal     fTOm  jt  to  travelers  on  station  platforms  or  to  bafj' 
of  the  winning  scores  will  show  that  the  Stow  Lake      gage.men   js   obvious. 


A  Peculiar  Accident,  the  result  of  somebody's  care 
lessness  evidently,  happened  in  the  baggage  room  a 
the  ferry  building  one  evening  this  week.     - 

Thomas  Nolan,  a  baggage-man  employed  by  th 
California  Northwestern  Railway  Company  at  th 
Tiburon  ferry  baggage-room,  was  unloading  a  cri 
full  of  inbound  baggage  that  had  just  come  in  fror 
the  hunting  camps  up  state.  Most  of  it  consiste 
of  rolls  of  blankets  tied  with  a  rope  or  bags  of  hunt 
ing  outfits.  As  he  was  taken  the  baggage  from  th 
crib  there  was  an  explosion  and  he  felt  a  sharp  pai 
in  his  shoulder,  where  a  bullet  from  a  bundle  of  bag 
gage  had  struck.  He  was  taken  to  the  Harbor  Hos 
pital  where  it  was  found  that  the  bullet  had  pene 
trated  his  upper  left  arm  and  shoulder.  The  wouni 
is  not  a  dangerous  one,  and  after  it  had  been  dressei* 
Nolan  was  taken  to  his  home. 

It  was   evident  to   Nolan   and   his  fellow  employe  f 
that  the  wound  was  due  to  the  accidental  explosio 
of  some  weapon  in  a  bundle  of  baggage,  but  it  waB^ 
not  possible  for  them  to  say  from  which  bundle  th  | 
shot  had  come,  so  an  examination  of  several  bundle  I 
was    necessary.      While    it    was    found    impossible   t  I 
locate  the  exact  bundle  wanted,  it  was  found  on  ex 
amination  that  several  contained  firearms,  knives  an  | 
cartrides  of  different  caliber,  mixed  indiscriminate!) > 
with  soiled  clothing  and  the  various  articles  that  lijj. 
loose    around   a   camp. 

In   one  case   a  .44   cartridge   was  found  in  a  bai.J 
with  only  a  single  thickness  of  canvas  between  it  an  1 
anything  that  might  have  been  bumped  against  it  in 
transportation.     A   hunting   belt    full   of  loaded   car  J 
tridges    and    loaded    magazines    was    found    jamme 
loosely  in  a  wad  of  light  cotton  clothing.     A  rifle  i  • 
full   cock   was   found    in   another   bundle.     All   the.' 
bundles  were  either  canvas  bags  or  rolls  of  blanket 
As  such   baggage  is  ordinarily  subject  to  much  leifl 
careful  handling  than  trunks  and  eases,  the  dangiji 


contingent  should  cast  rings  around  the  Garfield 
Park  fly-casters.  Harry  C.  Golcher,  Walter  D.  Mans- 
field, J.  B.  Kenniff.  Ed.  Everett,  T.  W.  Brotherton  and 
other  good  'uns  still  have  their  records  on  the  right 
side  of  the  ledger. 

The  final  event  for  the  first  day  was  won  by  F.  N. 
Peet,  whose  score  is  a  top-notcher.  The  other  win- 
ning scores  in  the  event  would  put  the  Chicago  men 
in  the  lead  anywhere. 

A  special  cup  was  put  up  by  the  Chicago  club  for 
the  best  salmon  cast,  and  was  won  by  Rueben  Leon- 
ard of  New  York,  with  the  splendid  cast  of  141  feet. 
The  Easterners  were  too  good  for  the  local  men  in 
the  distance  trials,  but  the  Chicago  casters  were  evi- 
dent in  the  events  that  required  skill  and  accuracy. 

Harry  Hascall,  F.  N.  Peet  and  John  Waddell  will 
be  remembered  by  local  'rodsters  as  a  trio  of  con- 
genial sportsmen  who  took  part  in  the  world's  tourna- 
ment at  Stow  Lake  two  years  ago. 

A  summary  of  winning  scores  for  the  first  day  of 
the  Chicago  tournament  Friday,  August  ISth,  is  the 
following;

The  recently  organized  Stockton  Kennel  Club  wi* 
so    we    have    been    informed,    hold    the    club's    initial

is  a  skilled  wing  shot  and  knows  what  a  Setter  shouj 
be  like  if  anyone  does,  for  he  has  bred  and  brokj 
dogs  for  his  own  recreation  in  the  field  for  a  nurabS 
of  years. 

The    Stockton    club   has   also   secured   the   servicj 
of  Mr.  D.  J.  Sinclair  as  superintendent.     Mr.  SlnclsH

Growing    in   Popularity. 

Ballistite  is  rapidly  becoming  recognized  by  many 
Coast  shooters  as  a  powder  that  is  accurate  and  re- 


96  out  of  100,  has  never  been  equaled,      liable.     Among  the  regular  shooters  of  Ballistite  m 
Another  remarkable  score  was  that  made  by  Private     be  mentioned  "Slade,"  one  of  the  charter  members  of 

the  California  Wing  Club,  a  trap  shooter  of  skill  and 
experience.  At  the  last  live  bird  shoot  of  the  club, 
he  was  the  only  contestant  to  score  a  straight  twenty 
birds  in  the  club  match. 

Ballistite  will  be  put  on  the  market  in  October  in 
the  form  of  a  bulk  powder.  The  new  powder  has 
been  thoroughly  and  scientifically  tested  by  the  lead- 
ing ammunition  manufacturers  of  the  LInited  States. 
The  consensus  of  opinion  was  that  this  favorite  oj.v- 
der  in  bulk  form  is  highly  satisfactory  in  every  re- 
spect.    In  fact,  it  proved  to  be  just  as  effective  and 

high  grade  in  bulk  form  as  in   the  dense  Ballistite 

which  has  won  a  high  regard  in  the  consideration 
of  sportsmen   throughout   America.

ENGLAND'S    WOOL    SUPPLY. 


he  following  facts  from  the  York- 
re  Post,  about  the  situation  as  to 
wool  supply  in  England  will  be  of 
=rest  to  American  farmers  and  man- 
cturers : 

Ve  face  a  new  wool  season  with 
iter  stocks  in  the  country  than  we 
-e  ever  seen.  It  has  been  a  very 
imon  thing  for  a  farmer  to  put  away 
>  to  five  years'  shearing  because  he 
Id  not  get  what  he  considered  a 
sonable  price,  but  during  the  past 
r  the  high  prices  ruling  have  been 
afficient  temptation  to  induce  every- 
to  sell.  The  shipments  of  Eng- 
wool  to  America  last  year  exceed 
records  except  1S97,  when  large  an- 
patory  shipments  were  made  in 
.v  of  the  imposition   of  a  duty  on 

-  wools. 

ommenting  on  the  Australasian 
St  ply,  the  Post   said: 

.  is  estimated  that  of  the  increased 
sorts  of  wool  from  Australasia  at 
\  end    of   the    present    season    New 

th  Wales  will  have  contributed  no 
than  140,000  bales,  valued  at  over 

00,000.    In  the  same  state,  it  is  also 

3e  noted,   the   stock  returns   to  the 
of  December  shows  nearly  6,000,000 

ip  have   been   added    to   the    flocks 

-hat  part,  bringing  the  total  up  to 
84  51,000  head,  an  increase  roughly 
Kted  at  $15,000,000. 

he  most  conservative  estimates  are 
(#:  during  the  season  of  1905-6  the 
'  -  South  Wales  clip  will  show  an 
in  ease  of  no  less  than  that  in  1904-5, 
flit  bringing  the  production  of  the 
it  e  up  to  790,000  bales,  or  about  equal 
to  he  output  in  the  wool  year  1900- 
19 ,  and,  assuming  that  growers  are 
wjrtunate  as  to  make  such  prices  as 
pr'-all  today,  this  w-ill  mean  to  them 
•increase  in  money  value  of  $15,000,- 
IPj  to  compare  with  the  season  just 
'1*  ng.  It  is  further  estimated  that 
it  he  close  of  1905  the  flocks  in  New 
3o  h  Wales  will  stand  at  40,000,000 
:Wt,  a  figure  not  reached  since  1901. 
h1  owest  being  1902,  when  the  official 
rttt  returns  put  the  sheep  at  26,649,- 
'01.  It  is  also  to  be  remembered  in 
•e:  irg  these  statistics  that  the  sea« 
so  is  already  so  far  advanced  as  to 
n«'  s  it  highly  improbable  that  the 
ni  .  adverse  conditions  will  seriously 
•cfl  t  the  situation. 

test  statistics  '  show  that  .  there 
»4  in  Queensland  at  the  end  of  1904, 
•^1.938  sheep,  as  against  8,392,044  at 
hi  end  of  1903,  demonstrating  that 
h| ;  has  been  a  substantial  movement 
e  right  direction.     There  has  also 

-  come  to  hand  from  Victoria  the 


census  of  sheep  in  that  part  of  the 
colony,  not  previously  taken  since  1901. 
In  the  latter  year  there  were  10,842,000 
sheep  in  this  part.  Then  came  the 
depletion  by  the  drought,  and  it  was 
estimated  that  by  the  end  of  1903 
there  were  only  8.774,731  sheep.  Now 
the  official  figures  give  the  number  at 
the  end  of  last  year  as  10,168,000,  and 
though  the  whole  of  the  loss  compared 
with  1901  has  not  been  regained,  the 
recovery  has  been,  no  less  wonderful 
than  in  other  parts. 

Stocks  of  wool  are  low,  as  also  are 
stocks  of  finished  materials,  but  no 
one  dreams  of  replacing  the  latter  on 
today's  basis  of  values,  especially  as  we 
do  not  seem  to  be  far  removed  from  a 
time  of  reasonable  prices  to  be  brought 
about  by  a  much  more  plentiful  sup- 
ply. 


Cows  are  warmer  in  a  stable  that  is 
a  little  too  small  and  ventilation  is  eas- 
ier managed  under  these  conditions,  be- 
cause the  body  heat  of  animals  causes 
a  rise  in  temperature  and  circulation 
is  easily  maintained.  There  are  two 
things  absolutely  necessary  to  the'suc- 
cess  of  winter  dairying;  a  warm  stable 
and  a  well  ventilated  stable. 


SHETLAND     THE     PERFECT     PET. 


RINGING  HOGS. 


STABLE   VENTILATION. 


The  old-fashioned  fireplace  with  its 
big  chimney  was  one  of  the  best  venti- 
lators ever  placed  in  the  house,  because 
it  removed  the  heavy,  foul  air  from 
near  the  floor.  In  stable  ventilation 
Prof.  King's  system  takes  advantage  of 
the  same  principle  by  removing  the 
heavy,  foul  air  from  the  lower  part  of 
the  stable  through  a  flue  that  extends 
above  the  highest  part  of  the  roof. 

In  the  stable  fresh  air  is  admitted 
through  smaller  flues  from  one  or  two 
sides  of  the  building  in  such  manner 
as  to  permit  the  cold  fresh  air  to  mingle 
with  the  warmer  air  at  the  ceiling.  In 
this  way  fresh  air  is  admitted  to  the 
upper  part  of  the  room  while  the  inside 
atmosphere  that  has  been  loaded  with 
impurities  until  it  settles  is  drawn  off 
from  near  the  floor.  To  prevent  drafts 
and  also  to  prevent  the  warm  air  from 
passing  out  through  the  intake  the 
flues  are  turned  down  at  the  outside 
or  built  in  the  side  of  the  building. 

Air  in  circulation  naturally  goes  up 
when  warm,  because  warm  air  is 
lighter,  but  unless  it  is  then  cooled 
it  is  not  easy  to  drive  it  down. 

The  heights  of  the  stable  ceiling  has 
little  to  do  with  ventilation.  A  ceil- 
ing that  is  high  enough  to  stand  up 
under  is  high  enough  for  a  cow  stable. 
Cows  may  be  crowded  close  together 
in  a  stable  with  a  low  ceiling,  but  a 
circulation  of  air  must  be  maintained. 
The  old-fashioned  idea  of  providing  a 
great  deal  of  cubic  air  space  in  a  cow 
stable  was  all  wrong;  it  is  quality  of 
air  we  want,  not  quantity. 

A  great  deal  of  disease  has  resulted 
from  stabling  cows  in  expensive,  air- 
tight stables  without  adequate  pro- 
vision for  changing  the  air. 


We  have  long  been  of  the  opinion 
that  many  farmers  lose  a  good  deal  of 
money  by  the  practice  of  ringing  hogs 
during  the  spring  and  summer  season. 
The  object,  of  course,  is  to  save  money. 
That  is,  to  keep  their  pastures  and 
meadows  from  being  rooted  up  and  ap- 
parently destroyed.  The  real  loss, 
however,  is  not  in  the  time  expended 
in  ringing  them  and  the  cost  of  the 
rings  and  pincers,  but  in  the  injury 
done  to  the  hogs.  It  is  not  possible 
to  ring  hogs  without  giving  them  sore 
noses,  without  putting  them  back  or 
at  least  delaying  their  development 
more  or  less.  Occasionally  the  ring  is 
rut  in  improperly  and  quite  serious 
damage  results. 

We  don't  see  any  good  reason  for  all 
'.his.  It  is  quite  true  that  especially 
in  the  spring  of  the  year  hogs,  and 
particularly  brood  sows,  will  do  more 
or  less  rooting.  Occasionally  they  will 
root  an  old  grass  pasture  all  summer. 
They  seldom,  however,  attack  any  piece 
of  well  drained  land  unless  there  is 
something  to  root  for.  This  is  usually 
the  larvae  of  the  June  bug  and  other 
moths.  In  destroying  these  they  really 
benefit  the  pasture.  They  are  quite 
certain  to  root  along  sloughs,  and  par- 
ticularly where  these  sloughs  have 
been  recently  drained,  and  the  roots  of 
slough  grass,  rushes,  etc..  are  in  the 
process  of  decay  and  contain  more  or 
less  animal  food.  Neither  do  we  re- 
gard this  as  being  any  damage. 

Sometimes  they  root  on  comparative- 
ly well  drained  spots,  but  in  these 
cases  it  will  be  found  that  there  is 
something  in  the  soil  of  which  they 
are  fond,  and  while  it  may  make  the 
spot  unsightly,  the  loss  of  the  stand 
of  pastures  that  grows  on  such  places 
is  more  than  compensated  for  by  the 
advantage  to  the  hogs  from  rooting. 
We  are  w-ell  aware  that  there  is  some- 
times strong  provocation  to  compel  the 
old  sow  to  keep  her  nose  out  of  the 
ground;  but  if  the  farmer  will  simply 
let  her  root  all  she  has  a  mind  to  and 
then  follow  it  with  a  seeding  tame 
grass  and  the  harrow,  he  will  find  in 
the  end  that  rooting  is  more  beneficial 
than  otherwise. — Wallace's  Farmer. 


The  cry  of  the  children  is  for  a  per- 
fect pet.  What  the  rattle  and  the  doll 
are  to  the  earliest  years  of  us,  that  the 
Shetland  pony  is  fated  to  become  for 
older  childhood.  This  animal  is  the 
only  pet  that  won't  at  some  time  or 
other  make  reprisal  on  the  hand  that 
nags.  The  dog— every  dog— will  bite 
when  the  child  becomes  too  familiar. 
There  are  elements  in  a  cat's  nature 
that  puzzle  and  repulse  the  child,  a 
something  that  makes  it  walk  'by  its 
wild  lone."  The  goat  is  inadequate. 
We  could  analyze  a  Noah's  ark  of  ani- 
mals in  this  way  only  to  find  that  the 
one  satisfying  safe  living  pet  is  the 
Shetland  pony.  If  more  than  eight 
children  ride  on  his  back  he  will  shake 
himself  like  a  wet  Newfoundland  and 
then  stand  motionless,  while  they  pick 
themselves  up  and  out  from  his  four 
hoofs.  A  large  and  more  highly  nerved 
grade  of  horse  would  trample  the  chil- 
dren that  were  tripping  him. — Country

LESS    COWS    AND    BETTER    ONES. 


What  is  the  matter  with  the  average 
dairy  larnier?  To  many  poor  cows. 
Why  does  he  keep  poor  cows?  Really, 
because  he  does  not  make  any  effort  to 
know  what  his  cows  are.  He  is  not  pay- 
ing" a  business  mans  attention  to  his 
business.  What  can  be  expected  under 
B  but  poor  i 
The  New  York  Farmer  hits  the  nail 
on  the  head  when  it  says: 

The  substitution  of  nigh-class 

for  I-  »nes  is  one  of  the  tasks 

g    the    American    farmers,      Each 

farmer   mu  i     ■  m    his   part    of  the 

gTeat  task  for  himself.     The  man  who 

sing  money  regularly  on  his  dairy 

renty  or  thirty  scrub  lows  can  be- 

gin    to  breed  up  his  herd  now.     In   a 

or  two  he  can  get  a  start  at  little 

or  no  tense.    In  three  or  four 

years    his    improved   young   stock   will 

give  him  more  income.     In  eight  or  ten 

an  reduce  his  twenty  scrub 

ten   cows  above  the  average. 

He   will   then   spend  one-half  as  much 

and  work,  and  he  will  get  50 

to   100   per   cent   more   milk.     In    other 

words,    he   will    have   cut   his   costs   of 

in  two.  and  he  can  sell  his 

at   .i    profil    even  at  the  low  rates 

that  prevail  in  the  glutted  markets. 

This  is  what  is  being  done  by  the 
milk  producers  who  are  called  •'model 
producers"  or  "model  farmers."  There 
Is  not  a  thing  done  by  these  men  that 
cannot  be  done  by  any  man  who  can 
weigh  a  can  of  milk.  There  is  no 
mystery  at  all  in  the  work.  The  steps 
are  short,  plain  and  easy.  The  high- 
Class  cow  is  the  only  cow  that  can 
make   money  for  her  owner. 

Now  a  practical  word  or  two  as  to 
what    should    be    done. 

1.  The  farmer  must  make  up  his 
mind  to  read  more  and  know  more  than 
he  has  known  about  the  true  meaning 
of    this   business. 

2.  He  must  breed  better;  stop  buy- 
ing poor,  cheap  bulls  and  the  produc- 
tion of  poor  cows.  The  fountain  head 
of  better  quality  in  the  cow  is  the 
character   of    the   sire. 

3.  Create  better  conditions  in  the 
stable.  Give  the  cow  better  air  to 
breathe,  better  food  to  eat,  good  water 
to  drink  and  cleaner  conditions  to  live 
in. 

4.  Weed  out  the  poor  cows  vigor- 
ously. Don't  be  slow  about  it.  Dry 
them  off  and  sell  them  to  the  butcher. 
Buy  the  best  heifers  of  the  best  cows 
you  can  find  and  start  the  making  of  a 
good  cow  on  your   farm. 

5.  Don't  think  fifty  or  sixty  dollars 
is  too  much  to  pay  for  a  first-class  cow, 
provided  always  you  are  sure  she  rs 
healthy.  The  men  who  come  around 
to  buy  your  good  cows  pay  these 
prices,  and  ten  to  one  if  they  don't  get 
them  away  from  you.  A  cow  that  will 
earn  in  gross  $50  a  year,  pays  big  in- 
terest on  her  cost  above  the  cost  of 
keep.  It  amounts  to  33  per  cent  if 
you  pay  $60,  assuming  she  costs  $30 
to  keep  her,  and  it  can  be  done  for 
that  easily  if  you  have  a  silo  and  will 
grow  alfalfa. 

In  all  these  matters  touching  cows 
we  are  constantly  impressed  with  the 
wide-spread  lack  of  good  judgment  on 
the  many  vital  questions  that  affect 
her. 

It  means  a  good  deal 
many  farmers  suppose  to 
a  good  cow.  They  ought  to  know  a 
poor  cow  by  virtue  of  long  experience 
with   her.

DEVON  CATTLE  NOT  MILKERS.

Dairyman. 


There  is  no  country  which  affords 
a  better  opportunity  for  dairying  than 
the  South.  Milk  and  butter  are  im- 
ported in  large  quantities,  which  gives 
ample  opportunity  to  the  home  pro- 
ducer to  find  a  good  market  at  a  fair 
price  for  all  he  produces. 


Some  have  adopted  the  plan  of  hav- 
ing a  sign  board  at  their  front  gate, 
on  which  they  write  the  things  they 
want  to  buy  or  sell. 


Experience,  energy,  ability  and 
square  dealing  make  a  man  strong  in 
the  stock  business,  or  in  anything  else.

Quinct,  III.,  May  12,  1905 
Some  twelve  months  ago  I  owned  a  horse  which 
was  practically  wor'hless,  due  to  a  very    bad 
Bone  Spavin  on  his  right  bind  leg. 

I  tried  various  remedies  without  snccess.  Anally 
purchasing  from  the  Miller  &  Arthur  Drug  Co.  of 
this  city  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse  "  After 
using  one-half  the  contents  of  the  bottle,  accord 
ing  to  Instructions,  the  horse  has  never  taken  a 
lame  step.  I  would  gladly  have  sold  him  for 
twenty-five  dollars  before  using  '-Save- the 
Horse  "  I  have  sold  him  since  for  ninety  dollars, 
and  would  not  be  without  'Save-the  Horse11  a.

THE  "WOODLAND  DRIVING  CLUB  has  been  or- 
ganized and  will  hold  a  harness  meeting  during  the 
-•reek  of  September  18th.  On  Monday  and  Tuesday 
automobile  and  local  races  will  be  held,  the  regular 
trotting  and  pacing  program  beginning  Wednesday, 
September  20th.  The  program,  which  appears  on  the 
opposite  page,  is  an  excellent  one,  and  affords  an 
opportunity  for  all  the  horses  now  in  training  in 
California.  $5500  has  been  hung  up  for  the  different 
classes  in  $500  and  $400  purses.  The  Woodland  track 
'as  always  been  one  of  the  most  popular  in  Califor- 
nia, and  as  it  has  been  greatly  improved  since  Mr. 
Alex.  Brown  purchased  it  and  established  thereon  the 
Woodland  Stock  Farm,  harness  horse  owners  and 
trainers  will  And  that  there  is  a  better  track  and 
better  accommodations  than  ever.  Over  $1000  has 
been  raised  by  subscription  among  the  citizens  of 
Woodland  to  aid  the  Woodland  Driving  Club  to  give 
this  meeting  and  all  that  is  required  now  to  make  it 
a  complete  success  is  a  good  liberal  entry  list.  We 
hope  every  owner  who  possibly  can  will  enter  his 
horses  at  this  meeting.  There  are  so  few  meetings 
held  in  California  that  every  association  advertising 
a  program  of  harness  racing  should  be  encouraged 
by  large  entry  lists  and  general  attendance  of.  the 
horsemen.  Entries  to  the  races  advertised  will  close 
Monday  next,  September  4th,  but  records  made  on 
or  after  Saturday,  September  2d,  will  be  no  bar. 
Send  your  entries  to  Frank  Brown,  secretary.  Wood- 
land, Cal.,  and  be  sure  that  your  get  them  mailed  in 
time.  The  Woodland  track  is  one  of  the  fastest  on 
the  Coast  and  there  will  be  many  new  records  made 
there  during  the  meeting. 


TEN  OR  TWELVE  WEEKS  of  harness  racing, 
where  purses  range  from  $500  up,  will  have  been  had 
in  California  this  year  by  the  time  the  Los  Angeles 
November  meeting  is  over.  This  will  make  quite  a 
respectable  circuit,  but  owing  to  the  fact  that  there 
was  no  unity  of  action  among  the  associations  giving 
these  meetings,  and  a  great  delay  in  claiming  dates 
and  announcing  purses  and  classes,  the  entry  lists 
have  not  been  very  large,  although  some  excellent 
racing  has  resulted.  Could  these  associations  have 
made  their  announcements  early  in  the  year  and 
arranged  a  circuit,  one  of  the  most  successful  seasons 
Would  have  resulted.  Many  horses  not  now  in  train- 
ing would  have  been  raced,  and  many  that  are  now 
touring  the  eastern  tracks  with  poor  results  would 
have  been  kept  at  home  and  raced.  There  is  nothing 
that  helps  to  boom  the  harness  horse  business  like 
the  early  claiming  of  racing  dates  and  announcement 
of  programs.  Every  association  should  resolve  to 
"get  a  move  on"  early  in  1906,  and  join  a  circuit  that 
will  include  all  the  principal  tracks  in  the  State. 


: 


SEVERAL  CAPITALISTS,  who  have  been  com- 
pelled to  retire  from  the  racing  business  in  Missouri, 
Illinois  and  Ohio,  haVe  sent  a  representative  to  Hav- 
ana, Cuba,  to  look-  over  the  situation,  and  report  on 
the  advisability  of  establishing  a  big  plant  where 
winter  racing  can  be  held.  Of  course  this  enterprise 
is  for  the  purpose  of  improving  the  breed  of  thor- 
oughbred horses,  and  bookmaking  on  results  will  only 
he  a  side  issue  of  minor  importance. 


TROTTING  ASSOCIATIONS  in  the  Eastern  States 
are  just  beginning  to  realize  that  the  laws  against 
betting  on  races  which  have  been  placed  on  the  stat- 
utes of  so  many  States,  were  not  adopted  because 
the  legislatures  considered  country  fairs  and  trotting 
meetings  as  detrimental  to  the  public  welfare,  but 
because  there  was  a  demand  that  poolrooms  and 
long  continued  running  meetings  be  closed.  "When 
the  harness  horsemen  unite  and  agree  upon  some 
plan  that  will  permit  an  occasional  week  of  racing 
to  be  held  in  every  community,  but  prohibit  continu- 
ous racing  and  poolrooms,  there  will  not  be  much 
trouble  in  getting  a  law  passed  that  will  allow  bet- 
ting on  the  tracks  when  these  short  meetings  are  held. 


NEW    DRIVING    CLUB    ORGANIZED. 


SEVERAL  LATE  MEETINGS  have  been  advertised 
to  be  held  in  Southern  California  in  November,  with 
the  wind-up  at  Los  Angeles,  where  $1000  purses  are 
to  be  given.  Already  we  hear  of  trainers  in  this 
section  of  the  State  who  have  avowed  their  intention 
of  not  only  racing  at  the  late  meetings  but  remain- 
ing at  Los  Angeles  track  during  the  winter  and 
spring  months  to  train  their  horses.  The  enterprise 
of  these  Southern  California  track  managers  may 
result  in  stall  rent  coming  down  a  little  at  some 
of  the  tracks  in  the  central  part  of  California.  Horse- 
men like  to  train  where  there  is  a  certainty  of  late 
and  early  racing,  as  it  effects  a  great  saving  in  rail- 
road fares  and  freights. 


ORMONDALE  won  the  Future  at  Sheepshead  Bay 
last  Saturday,  and  his  owner,  W.  O'B.  Macdonough, 
is  receiving  the  congratulations  of  his  many  friends. 
Ormondale  is  a  son  of  Ormonde,  for  which  Mr.  Mac- 
donough paid  $150,000,  and  out  of  Santa  Bella,  a 
bay  mare  by  St.  Serf  that  he  imported  at  the  same 
time  he  purchased  Ormonde.  Mr.  Macdonough  enjoys 
the  distinction  of  being  the  only  California  breeder 
who  ever  won  the  Futurity.  The  value  of  the  stake 
to    the    winner   was    $33,6S0.

A  very  handsome  four-year-old  stallion  by  Diablo 
2:09*4  is  advertised  for  sale  in  this  issue  by  Mr.  W. 
R.  Jacobs  of  Stockton.  The  blood  lines  are  Diablo 
and  Director — a  great  combination  surely.  Mr.  Jacobs 
will  have  this  colt  for  sale  at  the  race  tra^k,  Sacra- 
mento, during  fair  week. 


A  number  of  lovers  of  the  light  harness  horse  met 
at  Oak  Park,  a  suburb  of  Sacramento,  one  evening 
recently  and  organized  the  Oak  Park  Driving  Club. 
Mr.  Ira  Woodworth,  who  called  the  meeting  to  order, 
spoke  of  the  advantages  of  having  the  new  State 
Fair  grounds  at  the  very  doors  of  the  people  of  Oak 
Park,  and  of  the  pleasure  and  benefit  to  be  derived 
from  a  well  organized  club.  It  was  decided  to  or- 
ganize at  once  and  the  following  officers  were  elected: 

President,  Ira  Woodworth;  vice-president,  L.  Daly; 
secretary-treasurer,  A.  K.  Kerr;  sergeant-at-arms,  G. 
Gillespie;  executive  committee,  W.  A.  Gilbert,  L. 
Daly,  Oscar  Wilbur,  Judge  Allen  and  J.  Hudson. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  members  and  their 
horses. 

Ira  Woodworth,  Baby  Knight  by  Knight. 

E.  Daly,  Celia  by  Knight. 

Chas.  Lewis,  Prince  L.  by  son  of  Don  Marvin. 

Gillespie  Bros.,  Duke  Gillespie,  a  Palo  Alto  bred 
gelding. 

W.  McGee,  filly  by  Rosemond. 

J.  Hudson,  Chicken  by  Knight. 

H.  Raynsford,  filly  by  Silver  Bow. 

Oscar  Wilbur,  Starling  by  Glen:-  Wilkes. 

Judge  Allen,  gelding  by  Daedalion. 

W.  A.  Gilbert,  C.  C.  by  son  of  Sidney. 

J.  Snook,  mare  by  Ouiboul. 

Howard  Kerr,  Twinkle  by  Zombro. 

A.  K.  Kerr,  Amber  by  Glen  Wilkes. 

J.  W.  Lowell  and  John  Daly,  horses  not  reported. 

Quite  a  number  of  others  have  signified  their  inten- 
tion of  joining  the  club  at  its  next  meeting  and  there 
is  every  prospect  of  an  excellent  organization  here. 

On  the  evening  just  before  the  club  was  organized, 
and  for  the  purpose  of  getting  a  little  inspiration,  a 
couple  of  the  enthusiastic  promoters  jogged  over  to 
the  new  track  and  there  in  the  dim  twilight  imag- 
ined they  saw  the  shades  of  Nutwood,  Electioneer, 
Geo.  Wilkes,  Hambletonian  10  and  others  holding  a 
meeting  and  passing  a  resolution  to  the  effect  that 
the  State  Fair  track  shall  and  of  right  ought  to  be 
the  fastest  mile  track  in  all  the  West.  The  two  en- 
thusiasts were  awakened  out  of  their  dream  by  the 
foreman  warning  them  off  until  further  notice,  but 
the  resolution   goes  just  the  same. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  new  club  will  be  held  Sep- 
tember 17th,  of  which  a  report  will  be  sent  you.

THE  SPRECKELS  YEARLINGS  from  the  Napa 
Stock  Farm  were  sold  at  New  York  on  Wednesday 
of  this  week.  The  bay  colt  by  Solitaire  II.,  dam 
Carnation  II,  brought  $4000  and  the  chestnut  colt 
by  the  same  sire  out  of  Break  o'  Day  sold  for  $4000. 
Several  others  brought  over  $1000  and  the  sale  was  a 
great  success. 


NEW  RACE  TRACK  AT  PHOENIX. 


Breeder  and  Sportsman — They  are  making  good 
headway  at  the  new  race  track  here  where  the  Ari- 
zona Territorial  Fair  is  to  be  held.  Three  large  barns 
are  already  finished,  the  grand  stand  is  under  way, 
and  the  mile  and  half-mile  tracks  both  nearing  com- 
pletion. J 

Among  the  recent  arrivals  at  the  track  is  J.  A. 
Cody  of  Santa  Barbara,  who  has  opened  a  public 
training  stable  here  and  should  do  weltr  He  has 
Peggy  Arnett  by  Sidney  Arnett,  and  several  yearlings 
by  Senator  L.  that  are  entered  in  the  yearling  trot 
here.  Cody  has  trained  several  good  ones,  among 
them  Briney  K.  2:11,  Almonada  2:iS*4,  H.  M.  Stanley 
2:17%,  Flora  2:20  and  many  others.  Mr.  Cody  does 
not  claim  to  have  given  all  these  horses  their  records, 
but  he  gave  them  a  great  deal  of  their  early  training 
and  is  a  good  man  with  colts  and  young  horses. 

There  are  22  yearlings  entered  in  the  Arizona  Stake 
for  two-year-olds  that  closed  August  1st.  The  stake 
will  be  worth  close  to  $1000.  No  less  than  nine  of 
these  yearlings  are  by  the  California  bred  horse  Sen- 
ator L.  2:23*4  by  Dexter  Prince,  dam  Fanny  Bays- 
water,  dam  also  of  Bayswater  Wilkes  2:25%,  sire  of 
Kelly  Briggs  2:09%,  etc.  Senator  L.  holds  the  four 
mile  trotting  record  of  10:12  made  eleven  years  ago. 
He  is  a  fine  large  stallion  and  is  deservedly  popular 
in  Arizona.  He  is  owned  by  Chas.  A.  Smith  of 
Phoenix. 

Mr.  J.  C.  Adams,  who  is  one  of  the  leading  breeders 
of  the  Territory  has  a  fine  lot  of  broodmares  and 
young  stallions,  he  having  been  a  buyer  at  the  sales 
from  California's  best  breeding  farms  during  recent 
years. 

Pacing  colts  do  not  seem  to  be  very  numerous  in 
Arizona  this  year  as  the  two-year-old  and  yearling 
pacing  stakes  failed  to  fill  and  were  reopened  to 
close  September  1st.  TERRY  TORY. 

Phoenix,  August  27th,  1905. 


ANSWERS  TO  CORRESPONDENTS. 


R.  M.  JOHNSON,  Bisbee,  Arizona. — Countess 
Knight  2:1S%,  chestnut  mare  by  Knight,  dam  Poca- 
hontas 2:22%  by  Little  Washington,  grandam  by  St. 
Clair  16675,  took  her  record  at  Sandwich,  Illinois, 
September  13th,  1S99.  The  rules  for  laying  out  a  half 
mile  track  are  as  follows:  Draw  two  parallel  lines 
600  feet  long  and  452  feet  5  inches  apart.  Halfway 
between  the  extreme  ends  of  the  two  parallel  lines 
drive  a  stake.  Loop  a  wire  around  the  stake  long 
enough  to  reach  either  side.  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,  the  track  is  laid  out.  The  inside 
fence  will  rest  exactly  on  the  lines  drawn,  and  the 
track  will  measure  a  half  mile  three  feet  from  the 
fence.  The  turns  should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to 
the  foot. 


FERNDALE. — We  do  not  know  the  mare  you  de- 
scribe. There  is  no  mare  named  Bessie  Wilkes  by 
Secretary  that  has  a  record.  A  gray  mare  named 
Bessie  Wilkes  by  General  Wilkes  took  a  pacing  record 
of  2:24  in  Indiana  in  1903,  but  we  do  not  know  whether 
she  was  ever  brought  to  California. 


W.  T.  MORTON,  Oakland.— Flora  W'ilkes  by  Geo. 
Wilkes,  dam  by  American  Star,  had  no  standard 
record,  neither  has  Wyoming  Chief.

H  JOTTINGS.  M 


TABULATED  PEDIGREES  present   the  most  con- 
ner  of  arranging  the  ancestors  of  an  ani- 
mal   so    that    its   blood    lines    may    be   studied.     Last 
week  the  pedigree  of  North  Star  2:13%    by  Nutwood 
b  given  in  this  department,  and  was 
much  interest  among  our  readers.     This 
week  the  pedigree  of  McFayden  2.1514,  winner  of  the 

two  yea     o  dlvisi ire<       rs    Futurity  Xo. 

::.    is    presented.      The    remarkable    thing    about    this 
tabulation  is  the  number  of  producing  sires  and  'lams 
ins.     I  doubt  if  a  eoll  can  be  found  in  Califor- 
nia  that    has   more  of   its  ancestors  in   the  first    four 
s    in    "the   great    tables." 
In  the  fourth  remove  the  names  of  the  following  sires 
Strathmore,    Electioneer,  Geo.  Wilkes,  Bay- 
.)  ami  Flaxtail  (twice).  In  the 
1   arc   the   names  of  Steinway,  Alcantara 
;,,„!  Egi  ..  .'has.  Derby  and  Sterling  are  the 

•  res.  and  Diablo  the  sire.  Everyone  of  these  is 
ee'd.  Among  the  brood  mares  repre- 
in  the  first  four  crosses  are  Bee,  dam  of  3; 
Bertha,  dam  of  S  and  1  producing  son:  Katie  G.,  dam 
of  ''.  and  2  producing  sons:  Barcena,  dam  of  1  and  2 
■is  s.ms  and  2  producing  daughters:  Flash. 
5  nil  2  producing  daughters;  Mary,  dam  of  1 
and  1  producing  son  and  3  producing  daughters; 
Abbess,  dam  of  2.  1  producing  son  and  2  producing 
daughters:  Alma  Mater,  dam  of  s.  7  producing  sons 
and  2  producing  daughters,  and  Minerva,  dam  of  2. 
3  producing  sons  and  1  producing  daughter.  These 
are  all  in  the  first  four  generations,  and  in  the  fifth 
there  are  such  mares  as  Green  Mountain  Maid.  Dolly 
Spanker.  Belle  by  Mambrino  Chief,  Bacchante  Mam- 
brino,  the  Burch  mare,  and  others.  It  will  be  no- 
ticed that  Bee,  the  dam  of  McFayden,  is  inbred  to 
both  Belmont  64  and  Flaxtail.  Her  sire  Sterling  was 
a  brother  in  blood  to  her  dam  Flash,  as  both  were  by 
Egmont  out  of  mares  by  Flaxtail.  F-gmont  182S  was  a 
brother  in  blood  to  the  great  Xutwood,  both  being  by 
lielmont  64  out  of  mares  by  Pilot  Jr.  To  the  intelli- 
gent breeder  the  tabulation  of  McFayden's  pedigree 
presented  herewith  will  offer  opportunity  for  much 
interesting  study,  and  is  bound  to  lead  to  the  conclu- 
sion that  this  colt  will  sire  early  and  extreme  speed 
to  a  moral  certainty.

loyal  to  his  horse,  a  defi  like  that  signifies  knowledge 
as  well  as  confidence  on  his  part.  I  don't  know 
whether  Mr.  Garland  will  meet  Mr.  Gwathmey's  chal- 
lenge or  not,  but  if  he  does  and  Sweet  Marie  should 
be  in  shape  when  the  race  started,  one  of  two  things 
would  happen  in  my  opinion.  She  would  heat  him  or 
the  Galileo  Rex  gelding  would  have  a  mark  of  2:03  or 
better  when  the  race  was  over.  It  may  be  that  I  am 
a  little  prejudiced  in  favor  of  the  mare  for  two  rea- 
sons— she  is  a  Californian  and  a  McKinney — but  I 
hope  not,  and  I  do  know  that  of  all  the  eastern  horse- 
men I  know  there  is  not  one  I  would  rather  see  own 
the  champion  trotter  of  the  world  than  Mr.  A.  B. 
Gwathmey.  There  is  no  greater  lover  of  the  trotting 
horse  than  the  owner  of  Tiverton  2:04^. 


Just  now  all  the  journals  in  the  United  States  de- 
voted to  harness  horse  affairs  are  filled  with  articles 
discussing  the  prohibition  of  betting  on  contests  at 
the  trotting  tracks.  The  consensus  of  opinion  among 
the  editors  of  these  journals  is  that  as  betting  on 
any  sport  that  is  not  continuous  is  neither  harmful 
nor  demoralizing,  it  should  be  permitted,  and  the  ad- 
vice given  to  horsemen  is  to  organize  and  bring  about 
the  passage  of  laws  that  will  permit  such  betting. 
This  advice  is  all  right,  but  unless  the  proposed  laws 
are  so  drawn  as  to  limit  the  length  of  race  meetings, 
they  will  in  the  opinion  of  many  who  have  given  the 
subject  considerable  thought  accomplish  but  little 
good.  It  is  continuous  racing  in  the  United  States 
that  has  made  race  track  gamblers  so  numerous  that 
pool  rooms  have  sprung  up  in  every  city,  village  and 
hamlet  to  accommodate  them,  and  aroused  the  pub- 
lic to  such  an  extent  that  the  wagering  of  a  few  dol- 
lars on  a  speed  contest,  once  considered  a  harmless 
dissipation,  is  now  looked  upon  as  a  rapidly  growing 
evil  that  must  be  curbed.  Argue  as  w-e  may,  the 
solid,  respectable,  taxpaying  portion  of  the  commu- 
nity sees  a  menace  to  society  in  the  craze  for  race 
track  gambling  that  has  prevailed  in  this  country 
for  the  past  few  years,  and  they  propose  to  stop  it 
by  legislation  if  they  can  in  every  state  in  the  Union. 
It  has  been  stopped  in  many  and  will  be  stopped  in 
many  more.  There  is  one  thing  the  owners  and  breed- 
ers of  harness  horses  should  recognize  in  all  the  dis- 
cussions of  this  question  and  that  is  this:  Betting  on 
harness  racing  as  it  has  been  or  is  now;  conducted 
has  not  aroused  the  opposition  to  race  track  gambling, 
nor  caused  the  passage  of  the  laws  which  in  some 
localities  prevents  betting  on  harness  racing.  It  was 
the  continuous  running  meetings  and  the  prevalence 
of  the  pestilential  pool  rooms  that  brought  about  the 
establishment  of  the  stringent  laws  against  betting 
now  on  the  statutes  of  so  many  states.  Auction  and 
mutual  pools  were  sold  on  harness  races  and  run- 
ning events  at  the  California  State  Fair  for  years 
without  inciting  anyone  to  even  suggest  that  betting 
should  be  prohibited  there,  but  upon  the  advent  of 
the  bookmaker  with  his  syndicate  system,  and  the 
action  of  the  directors  who  extended  the  fair  to  two 
weeks  and  made  a  program  of  cheap  running  races 
the  principal  feature  of  the  fair,  there  came  a  change 
of  sentiment  toward  the  time  honored  institution  on 
the  part  of  the  public,  and  when  the  association  was 
reorganized  and  its  property  turned  over  to  the  State, 
a  clause  in  the  appropriation  bill  prohibited  betting  of 
any  kind  on  the  State  Fair  grounds.  It  will  be  well 
for  every  breeder,  owner  and  trainer  of  harness 
horses  to  remember  that  the  laws  against  betting  at 
the  California  State  Fair,  and  in  the  eastern  states 
that  have  adopted  them  were  not  aimed  at  the  com- 
paratively small  speculations  on  harness  events,  but 
as  the  law  cannot  "play  favorites"  the  sport  of  har- 
ness racing  has  had  to  suffer  for  the  sins  of  others. 
Two  weeks  of  racing  is  sufficient  for  any  community 
during  any  one  season,  and  will  accomplish  greater 
improvement  in  the  breed  of  horses  than  can  be 
brought  about  by  a  meeting  held  continuously  during 
the  year.  This  wrould  permit  spring,  summer,  fall 
and  winter  meetings  of  two  weeks  each  and  furnish 
all  the  sport  that  kings,  princes  or  ordinary  American 
citizens  require  for  their  amusement  or  delectation. 
In  my  humble  opinion  the  most  effectual  move  the 
harness  horse  people  could  make  would  be  to  organ- 
ize and  petition  the  Legislature  to  pass  a  law  limiting 
racing  in  California  to  not  over  two  weeks  in  any 
county  during  any  quarter  of  the  year,  and  to  confine 
all  betting  on  the  results  of  races  to  the  tracks  where- 
on the  races  are  run,  and  that  the  Paris  mutual  pool 
or  the  totalizator  (which  is  the  same  thing)  be  the 
only  system  of  betting  permitted,  and  that  a  certain 
percentage  of  the  amount  wagered  go  to  charity.  T 
believe  that  were  some  such  a  bill  drawn  for  presen- 
tation to  the  California  legislature,  that  a  petition 
praying  for  its  adoption  would  receive  the  signatures 
of  four-fifths  of  the  voters  of  the  State,  that  it  would 
revive  the  county  fairs  and  harness  racing  and  that 
it  would  not  injure  any  breeder  or  owner  of  either 
thoroughbreds  or  harness  horses,  or  the  managers  of 
any   legitimate   business.  H. 


towns  where  the  people  take  greater  interest  in  har- 
ness horses,  as  nearly  everybody  drives  a  good  road- 
ster and  all  attend  the  races  when  any  are  held  at 
the  local  track. 

Los  Angeles  is  really  the  horse  center  of  California, 
as  it  is  the  only  place  that  supports  a  really  first-class 
amateur  driving  club  that  holds  genuine  matinee  rac- 
ing where  no  purses  are  awarded,  no  entrance  fee 
charged  and  no  betting  is  permitted.  As  is  always 
the  sase  where  a  good  amateur  club  is  maintained, 
regular  racing  for  stakes  and  purses  is  very  popular, 
and  a  big  crowd  can  always  be  expected  at  any  regular 
race  meeting.  The  generosity  of  the  Los  Angeles  Har- 
ness Racing  Association  in  offering  $1000  purses  for 
this"  closing  meeting  in  the  fall  will  be  appreciated 
not  only  by  owners,  who  will  doubtless  enter  very 
liberally,  but  also  by  the  people  of  Los  Angeles  who 
will  attend  the  meeting  in  large  numbers. 

It  is  probable  that  the  opportunity  will  be  offered 
to  see  some  of  the  Eastern  horses  at  this  meeting,  as 
an  effort  will  be  made  to  have  some  of  the  trainers 
now  racing  in  the  East,  visit  Los  Angeles  with  their 
strings  and  winter  there.  The  string  of  Mr.  "W".  A. 
Clark  Jr.,  which  is  now  racing  on  the  Grand  Circuit, 
will  be  back  at  Los  Angeles  by  November,  and  the 
Butler  string  may  be  shipped  to  the  southern  metrop- 
olis at  the  same  time. 

Secretary  Bruner,  who  will  act  in  his  official  capa- 
city at  all  the  meetings  on  the  Southern  Circuit,  wi71 
spare  no  pains  to  have  every  arrangement  completed 
and  in  readiness  for  the  opening.  He  will  look  after 
the  interests  of  both  horsemen  and  visitors,  and  the 
boys  who  win  the  races  can  get  their  money  at  the 
judges  stand  as  soon  as  the  race  is  over  if  they  want 
it.  The  program  for  the  entire  circuit  will  be  out  in 
a  few   days. 


SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA    FALL    CIRCUIT. 


The  Southern  California  Fall  Circuit  has  been  or- 
ganized with  Mr.  A.  W.  Bruner  as  secretary  and  will 
open  at  San  Bernardino,  November  9th,  with  a  three- 
days"  program  of  harness  races  for  $600  purses.  Santa 
Ana  will  follow  with  a  three-days  meeting,  opening 
November  16th.  at  wphich  the  purses  will  also  be  $600 
for  each  race,  and  the  circuit  will  close  at  Los  An- 
geles,  where  $1000  purses  will  be  offered  for  every 
clas?.  the  meeting  to  continue  during  the  week  be- 
ginning November  20th. 

The  managers  of  the  San  Bernardino  track  are  ex- 
pending  between  $6000  and  $7000  in  improvements 
which,  when  finished,  will  make  this  one  of  the  best 
appointed  as  well  as  one  of  the  fastest  and  safest 
tracks  in  the  State.  A  six-inch  coating  of  clay  is  now 
being  put  on  the  track,  and  it  will  be  ready  for  record- 
breaking  by  the  time  the  meeting  opens. 

Santa  Ana  track  is  considered  one  of  the  best,  and 
is  kept  in  condition   the  year  round.     There  are  few 


RACE  MEETING  AT  WOODLAND. 


"Woodland  Mail:  After  all  Woodland  is  to  have  a 
race  meeting  this  season,  and  probably  a  stock  and 
agricultural  fair  in  connection.  The  race  meeting  is 
assured.  It  will  begin  on  September  18th,  a  week  after 
the  State  Fair  closes,  and  there  will  be  six  days  of 
racing. 

The  meeting  will  be  backed  by  Alex.  Brown,  owner 
of  the  "Woodland  Stock  Farm,  wrhich  includes  the  local 
track,  but  the  public  will  also  take  a  hand-  C.  A. 
Spencer,  manager  of  Mr.  Brown's  local  enterprises, 
will  have  direct  charge  of  the  meet. 

Mr.  Spencer  figured  closely  as  to  what  the  cost  of 
such  a  meet  as  he  proposes  holding  would  be,  and. 
found  that  if  he  could  secure  $1500  from  outside  par- 
ties that  he  would  at  least  break  even  financially. 
He  and  Chris.  Sieber  circulated  a  subscription  list 
among  the  business  men  yesterday  and  secured  ahout  - 
$1000  of  this  amount,  only  one  man  seen  refusing  to 
contribute.  As  $500  can  be  secured  from  private 
sources,  Mr.  Spencer  announces  that  the  meet  is  a 
sure  go. 

Mr.  Spencer  has  laid  his  plans  well  for  a  successful 
meeting,  and  the  purses  he  will  hang  out  should  tempt 
some  of  the  best  strings  in  the  State.  Over  $5500  will 
be  distributed  to  winners  in  the  various  events.  As 
many  owners  will  bring  their  strings  immediately  to 
"Woodland  after  the  State  Fair,  the  outlook  is  for  one 
of  the  most  successful  meetings  ever  held  in  "Wood- 
land. 

As  stated  above  the  meeting  will  begin  on  Monday, 
September  ISth.  The  first  day  will  evidence  a  new 
departure,  as  it  will  be  devoted  entirely  to  automobile 
racing,  and  the  prizes  to  be  distributed  should  bring 
some  of  the  best  drivers.  The  second  day  will  also 
witness  a  feature,  as  it  will  be  given  over  to  amateur 
harness  racing.  As  there  are  a  number  of  excellent 
buggy  horses  in  the  county,  the  relative  merits  of 
which  have  long  been  debated,  the  events  of  this  day 
should  prove  attractive  in  establishing  supremacy  in 
this  line.  During  the  remainder  of  the  week  the  usual 
races  of  a  meeting  of  the  kind  wrill  take  place,  and 
there  is  little  doubt  that  some  of  the  best  performers 
on  the  Coast  will  participate,  and  the  promoters  are 
looking  for  a  big  card. 

Mr.  Spencer  states  that  the  proposal  to  have  a  stock 
and  agricultural  show  in  connection  with  the  meeting 
meets  with  his  great  approval.  "While  he  will  be  busy 
managing  the  racing  program,  he  will  lend  all  assist- 
ance possible  if  he  can  get  someone  to  take  the  man- 
agement of  this  feature.  It  has  been  suggested  that 
the  directors  of  Agricultural  District  No.  10  take 
charge,  but  as  yet  no  definite  arrangement  has  been 
made. 


THE    M'KINNEY   FARM. 


The  latest  acquisition  of  the  Empire  City  Farms  is 
the  farm  that  will  be  known  by  the  above  name.  Last 
week  ground  was  broken  for  a  large  stable  of  perfect 
fire-proof  construction:  this  stable  will  be  about  342 
feet  in  length  by  a  width  of  49  feet.  Most  of  the 
stalls  will  measure  12  by  16  feet,  and  a  driveway  25 
feet  in  width  will  give  ample  access  to  the  stalls. 
The  outside  walls  of  the  building  will  be  of  concrete 
blocks,  while  the  inside  will  be  exclusively  of  rein- 
forced concrete. 

A  well  equipped  heating  system  will  prevent  the 
extreme  cold  of  the  northern  winter  from  having  any 
bay  effect  upon  the  horses  stabled  in  this  building. 
This  addition  to  the  already  extensive  equipment  of 
the  Empire  City  Farms  will  enable  breeding  opera- 
tions to  be  conducted  with  the  greatest  certainty  with- 
out the  necessity  of  waiting  until  the  season  is  as 
fully  advanced  as  is  usual  in  localities  so  far  north. 


The  entries  in  the  Charter  Oak  $10,000  stake  which 
is  to  be  trotted  on  Monday  next  at  Hartford,  are 
Sadie  Mac,  Tom  Axworthy,  Angiola,  Glenwood  M.,

Occident    Stake   to-day 


Getaway's  record  is  now  2.12%  and  he  is  getting 
steadier  as  he  goes  along.  Henry  Hellman  has  im- 
proved him  a  great  deal  and  will  make  him  a  good 
winner  before  the  season   is   ended. 


It  is   worth   nearly   $4000. 


North   Star   2:lZy2    should  win  it. 


Southern  California  has  organized  a  fall  circuit. 


Woodland  entries  will  close  Monday  nest,  Septem-

John  Sawyer,  of  Salem,  Oregon,  offers  to  match  the 
three-year-old  trotter  Lonzo  by  Zombro,  owned  by 
Mr.  P.  J.  Mann,  against  any  three-year-old  trotter 
in  the  "Willamette  Valley  for  from  $500  to  $1000  a 
side.  Lonzo  won  the  two-year-old  stake  at  the  Ore- 
gon State  Fair  last  year  and  took  a  record  of  2.3iy2. 


Mr.  L.  C.  Crellin,  of  Pleasanton,  has  purchased  a 
nomination  in  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  No.  5  for

at  the  Alameda  track  for  $25  a  side  between  Mr. 
Tesio's  Gypsy  and  Mr.  Frank  Prettias'  Old  Folks. 
The  race  was  won  by  the  latter  in  straight  heats,  after 
a  close  contest.  A  large  crowd  was  present.  The 
judges  were  Ed  Prather,  R.  Brown  and  A.  G.  An- 
drews.    P.  Patrey   did  the  starting. 


Woodland  entries  close  Monday,  September  4th. 
Entries  made  at  the  State  Fair  on  Saturday,  Septem- 
ber 2d,  will  be  no  bar. 


The  San  Francisco  Driving  Club  will  give  an  after- 
noon of  racing  at  Ingleside  next  Monday — Labor  Day. 
Both  harness  and  running  events  will  be  on  the  pro- 
gram. 


The  judging  of  the  Shorthorn  cattle  at  the  State 
Fair  at  Sacramento  will  begin  at  10  o'clock  next 
Monday  morning,  September  4th.  Prof.  John  Craig 
of  the  Texas  University  will  judge  all  beef  breeds,  and 
there  should  be  a  large  attendance,  as  this  is  not 
only  one  of  the  most  interesting  but  most  instructive 
procedings  of  the  entire  fair.  The  display  of  Short- 
horns will  be  especially  fine  this  year. 


In  the  two  heats  at  Poughkeepsie  which  were  won 
by  Tiverton  in  2:07%  and  2:06%,  the  California  trot- 
ter George  G.  2:06%  was  second  both  heats,  beaten 
but  a  length  and  a  half  the  first  heat,  and  two  lengths 
the   second   heat. 


On  one  of  the  New  York  trotting  tracks  they  do  not 
fine  a  driver  for  being  late  with  his  horse  when  the 
race  is  called,  but  send  him  to  the  stable  and  do  not 
permit  him  to  start.  There  hasn't  been  a  man  late 
since  the  rule  was  put  in  force. 


The  Decatur,  Illinois,  meeting  had  an  average  of 
twenty  entries  to  each  of  its  fourteen  races.  As  it 
only  takes  sixteen  entries  to  pay  a  purse  in  full,  it  is 
evident  that  the  Decatur  association  was  on  velvet. 


At  the  City  Park  matinee  in  Denver  Saturday. 
August  19th,  two  State  records  were  broken  for  ama- 
teur going.  Rosalind,  in  the  second  heat  of  the  2:21 
trot,  lowered  the  time  to  2:18%,  which  is  the  fastest 
time  ever  made  on  a  half-mile  track  in  Colorado. 
In  the  first  heat  of  the  free-for-all  pace,  Joe  Younger 
broke  the  State  record  of  2:14%,  made  two  years 
ago  by  George  E.  Ady's  Miss  Williams,  lowering  it 
to  2:14%.  Both  horses  are  owned  and  were  driven 
in  the  races  by  George   S.   Newman. 


Sales  of  horses  in  New  York  and  Chicago  thus  far 
this  year  exceed  those  of  the  corresponding  period 
last  season  by  about  10  000  head  in  each  city.  The 
increase  is  remarkable  in  view  of  the  immense 
pressure  of  vast  capital  to  crowd  horses  out.  Motor 
vehicles  are  being  promoted  at  enormous  cost  to  the 
makers  and  users,  yet  opposition  to  horses  only  seems 
to  emphasize  their  utility  in  all  industry  and  com- 
merce. 


Horsemen  have  received  the  announcement  of  the 
Southern  California  Circuit  with  many  expressions  of 
approval.  Many  of  those  who  are  now  at  Sacramento 
will  ship  south  after  the  Woodland  meeting. 


Floreen  Russell  won  two  heats  and  second  money 
and  reduced  her  record  to  2:22%  in  a  five-heat  trot- 
ting race  at  Springfield,  Illinois,  August  23d.  She  was 
bred  at  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  is  by  L.  W.  Rus- 
sell,   dam  Flora  Allen  by   Mambrino  Wilkes. 


Burnut  by  Neernut  won  a  five-heat  race  at  Bay 
City,  Michigan,  August  23d.  He  took  a  trotting 
record  of  2:24%  in  this  race.  He  was  bred  by  Geo. 
W.   Ford    of    Santa   Ana. 


The  record  of  2.29%  made  by  El  Pajaro  at  Santa 
Rosa  puts  his  dam,  John  Kalar's  mare  Kate  by  Carr's 
Mambrino  in  the  great  brood  mare  list,  as  she  is 
also  the  dam  of  Valentine,  2:19%.  a  full  brother  to 
El    Pajaro,    both   being   by   Boodle,    2:12%. 


If  Helen  Norte  were  a  little  steadier  she.  would  get 
a  record  of  2:10  or  better  with  little  trouble.  She 
was  a  good  second  to  Kid  Shea  in  2:09%  at  Pough- 
keeepsie. 


Six  two-year-olds  by  Baronmore  were  put  into  the 
list  at  Davenport.  Iowa,  last  month.  The  records 
made  ranged  from  2:19%  to  2:29%. 


Ed  Patch,  son  of  Dan  Patch,  has  taken  a  winning 
race   record   of  2:10%. 


Dan    Patch,    1 :  56.    starts    to    beat    his    record    next 
Monday  at  Hamlme. 


J.  F.  Ferguson,  who  is  training  Inferno,  2:15,  for 
the  Hollister  races  this  month,  believes  the  son  of 
Diablo    is    capable   of   reducing   his   record   this   year. 


Grattan.  2:13,  has  four  performers  of  sensational 
speed  out  this  season:  Baron  Grattan,  2:05%;  Nut- 
wood Grattan,  2:07%;  Doris  B.,  2:07%,  and  Clarita 
W.,  2:09%.     And  there  are  others  to  be  heard  from. 


About  fifty  horses  are  being  worked  at  the  State 
Fair  grounds,  Salem,  Oregon.  Nearly  all  will  take 
part  in  the  races  on  the  North  Pacific  Circuit 


The  Broncho  2:03%  is  less  than  fifteen  hands  high. 
"Marque"  expects  her  to  get  a  record  below  2:02  in 
a  race. 


Miss  Reese,  a  pacing  mare  by  Hal  K.,  started  in 
a  race  at  Chanute,  Kansas,  during  the  month  of  July 
this  year,  and  three  days  after  foaled  a  filly.  The 
owners  of  Miss  Reese  did  not  know  she  had  been 
bred.  The  foal  is  exceptionally  well  proportioned  and 
strong.     It  is  being  raised  on  cow's  milk. 


Golden  Gate  by  Bay  Bird,  has  another  win  to  his 
credit.  He  won  the  2:40  trot  at  York,  Nebraska, 
August  6th,  and  did  not  have  to  trot  better  than  2:35. 


Direet  Wood,  the  four-year-old  gelding  by  Direct, 
that  has  been  winning  pacing  events  in  the  Middle 
West  this  year,  was  bred  by  A.  F.  Stice  when  he  was 
in  California,  but  was  foaled  at  his  farm  at  Mon- 
mouth, Illinois.  She  took  a  record  of  2:18%  as  a 
three-year-old,  which  she  has  reduced  to  2:08%  this 
year.  Her  dam  is  Dolly  Fort,  2:28%,  by  Lee  Wood, 
son   of  Nutwood. 


According  to  the  Trotting  World  of  London,  Prince 
Alert  has  been  taken  to  Austria  by  Eddie  Mitchell  to 
compete  against  time  for  cups  offered  by  the  tracks 
there.  Pacers  and  geldings  are  barred  in  Austria, 
but  the  authorities  realized  that  Prince  Alert  in 
special  against  time  would  be  a  great  attraction  and 
arranged  with  Louis  Winans  to  send  his  great  pacer 
across  the  channel  for  that  purpose. 


Boston  is  to  have  an  intercity  matinee  at  Read- 
ville  September  17-20.  The  Billings  horse  will  be 
the  star  attraction,  with  several  flyers  from  Pittsburg,

The  Eastern  races  close  at  Memphis  October  26th. 
If  our  California  horses  don't  hurry  up  and  win  a 
few  more  races  their  owners  will  think  railroad  fares 
and  freights  are  mighty  high.  It  makes  a  big  differ- 
ence with  an  owner  whether  his  horse  has  been  win- 
ning, when  it  comes  to  paying  the  freight. 


The  well-known  Denver  pacing  mare  Daisy  Field, 
2.0S%,  was  discovered  down  in  Ohio  last  month  mas- 
querading as  Ada  M.  At  Dayton.  Ohio,  on  August  2d 
this  mare  won  the  2:27  pace.  Daisy  Field  was  for- 
merly owned  by  J.  Fred  Roberts  of  Denver  ,who  sold 
her  two  years  ago  to  a  man  in  Wisconsin.  Daisy 
Field,  alias  Ada  M.,  together  with  Harry  Snyder,  who 
entered  her,  and  Harry  H.  Bonslough  of  Mendota, 
Illinois,  have  been  suspended  by  the  American  Trot- 
ting  Association. 


The  latest  news  from  Sacramento  is  that  the  di- 
rectors will  take  no  cognizance  of  the  betting  that  is 
to  be  carried  on  outside  the  fair  grounds  on  private 
property.  The  usual  custom  of  no  return  checks 
will  be  continued  and  if  anyone  wants  to  go  outsi  !e 
the  grounds  to  place  a  bet  on  a  horse,  he  will  have 
to  pay  another  fare  to  re-enter.  It  is  probable  that 
the  bookmakers  will  buy  whole  bunches  of  tickets  to 
give  their  patrons.  It  will  be  interesting  to  see  how 
the  new   plan   works. 


A  match  race  was  decided  last  Sunday  at  the  San 
Jose  track  between  Chas.  De  Courtioux's  pacer, 
Charlie  J.,  and  H.  Liebe's  trotter  Vic  Schiller  2:11%. 
The  race  was  for  $500  a  side  and  \vas  won  by  Charlie 
J.  in  straight  heats  in  2:17  and  2:16%.  The  first 
lieal  was  won  by  a  head  and  the  second  by  a  length. 
Considerable  money  changed  hands  on  the  result  of 
race  and  a   return   match  may  be  made. 


The  fast  gelding  Lisonjero,  2:0S%,  after  being  laid 
up  for  three  weeks  with  lameness  behind,  is  taking 
his  work  again  and  his  trainer,  TV.  D.  Howard,  hopes 
to  have  him  in  shape  for  the  Columbus  Grand  Circuit 
meeting. 


Even  in  England  some  of  the  turf  journals  are  advo- 
cating the  prohibition  of  bookmaking  at  race  tracks, 
all  betting  to  be  done  by  the  pari-mutual  system. 
They  all  argue  that  the  bookmakers  are  killing  the 
game.  New  York  turf  journals  are  also  printing 
articles  in  the  same  strain.  France  and  Austria  are 
far  ahead  of  England  and  the  United  States  in  this 
matter  They  have  nothing  but  the  mutual  pools 
and  the  government  derives  a  large  revenue  from 
them,  while  the  racing  is  kept  cleaner. 


Mr  R.  C.  Estill,  president  of  the  Kentucky  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders'  Association  and  proprietor  of  Elm- 
hurst  Stock  Farm,  Lexington,  offers  a  season  to 
Todd,  2:14%,  for  the  best  yearling  colt  or  filly  by 
Todd   exhibited  at  the  Kentucky   State  Fair. 


After  her  race  at  Buffalo,  in  which  she  was  dis- 
tanced, it  was  found  that  Miss-in-Law*s  jaws  had 
been  locked  by  being  twisted  to  one  side  so  her 
teeth  failed  to  mesh.  It  required  a  lot  of  force  to 
put   them    back   into   place. 


At  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club  matinee  held  at 
Washington  Pai-k.  Chicago,  Mr.  Billings  drove  the 
pacer,  Morning  Star  2:04%,  a  mile  to  wagon  in  2:06. 
and  Angus  Pointer  one  in  2:06%.  He  gave  Lou  Dil- 
lon five  heats  in  the  morning  in  2:30,  2:26,  2:16,  2:11% 
am..   2:10%. 


James  Y.  Gatcomb,  one  of  the  many  horse  owners 
who  resented  the  action  of  the  Cleveland  Driving 
Park  Company  in  declaring  off  its  Grand  Circuit  trot- 
ting meeting,  has  instituted  proceedings  against  the 
organization  asking  that  its  directors  and  officers  be 
suspended  by  the  National  Trotting  Association  for 
failing  to  live  up  to  their  agreements  with  the  horse- 
men, says  an  Eastern  dispatch. 


If  you  desire  to  have  something  easy  to  ride  in,  and 
comfortable  for  both  you  and  your  horse,  call  on  the 
Kenney  Manufacturing  Company,  531  Valencia  street 
and  get  one  of  those  McMurray  carts.  A  carload  of 
carts  and  bikes  just  received. 


Sam  Casto,  of  Salem,  is  thinking  of  bringing  a 
string  of  eight  or  ten  trotters  and  paces  to  either 
Pleasanton  or  Los  Angeles  this  fall,  to  prepare  for  the 
circuit  of  1906. 


A  telegram  from  Cleveland  says-  As  a  direct  result 
of  the  agitation  against  poolselling  in  Ohio,  creating 
a  dearth  of  demand  for  horses,  the  famous  Two- 
Minute  stock  farm,  including  Star  Pointer,  1:59%. 
and  many  other  well  known  horses,  will  be  sold  at 
public  sale  or  in  private  this  fall.  This  announce- 
ment was  made  by  Will  B.  White,  manager  of  the 
farm.  Among  the  matrons  at  the  farm  are  Minetto 
2:10%;  Alice  M.  2:10,  and  Javelin  2:08%. 


A  dispatch  from  Chicago  states  that  E.  M.  Hanna, 
president  of  the  Cleveland  Driving  Club,  offered  C. 
K.  G.  Billings  $30,000  for  the  champion  trotting  geld- 
ing Major  Delmar  1:59%  one  day  this  week,  that  the 
offer  was  refused  and  then  raised  to  $50,000,  which 
offer  Mr.  Billings  took  under  consideration. 


Albuta,  Col.  J.  C.  Kirkpatrick's  gelding  by  Altivo, 
took  a  record  of  2:11%  at  Providence  on  Wednesday 
of  this  week. 


The  Sonoma  County  Driving  Club  will  hold  an

GOOD  RACING  AT  PROVIDENCE. 


Sadie  Mac  Wins  Roger  Williams  $10,000  Stake. 
Bolivar  Gets  Record  of   2:07  1-4. 


Grand  Circuit  racing  shifted  to  Providence,  Khode 
this  week,  opening  Monday  with  an  attend- 
ance of  thhty-five  hundred.  Three  good  races  were 
1,   fast  lime  being  made  in  the  pacing  events. 

In  the  first  race,  the  2.08  pace,  Don  Carr,  owned 
by  Tobias  Burke  of  Providence,  was  favorite,  selling 
at  $100.  with  the  field  at  $60.  The  big  black  pacer 
took  the  first  heat,  but  dropped  Ihe  second  one  to 
Maud  Keswick  by  a  head.  In  the  third  heat,  how- 
ever, Clark  took  his  horse  out  around  Keswick  on 
the  backstretch,  and  taking  the  pole,  came  down 
ander  the  wire  a  winner  by  at  least  ten  lengths.  The 
California  pacer  Irish  by  Monterey  out  of  Juliet  D. 
by  McKinr.ey  was  a  starter  in  this  race  and  earned 
third  money.  All  his  miles  were  in  2: OS  or  better. 
v.  as  also  a  starter,  but  was  last  in  the  sum- 
ma  rv. 

Bolivar,  the  Wayland  W.  gelding,  was  favorite  for 
the  2:18  class  pace,  lor  which  a  purse  of  $2000  was 
given.  The  California  horse  won  the  first  heat  and 
reduced  his  record  to  2:07%.  but  the  effort  was  too 
much  for  him,  and  he  did  not  finish  better  than 
fourth  in  the  next  three  heats,  which  were  won 
rather  easily  by  Doris  B..  a  daughter  of  Grattan. 
Stiletto,  by  Steinway.  started,  but  was  last. 

The  2:19  class  trot  was  won  by  the  black  gelding 
Marone.  owned  by  W.  A.  Clark  Jr.,  and  driven  by 
Gerrity.  Morone  wintered  at  Pleasanton,  and  his 
heats  in  this  race,  which  were  all  under  2:15,  show 
that  he  is  getting  into  form  again.     The  summaries:

The  attendance  was  largely  increased  at  Provi- 
dence the  second  day,  the  Park  Brew  $5000  stake  for 
2:09  class  pacers  being  the  drawing  card.  After  six 
hard  fought  heats  the  finish  had  to  be  carried  over 
until  Wednesday,  with  Allerson  and  Edwin  C.  each 
winner  of  two  heats  and  Walter  Direct  also  winner 
of  two  heats  drawn  on  account  of  lameness. 

Harrison  Wilkes  beat  the  high-priced  Deleree  in 
the  2:20  class  trot,  and  Lizzie  G.  won  the  2.13  class 
trotting  event.  In  this  race  the  California  horse 
Danube  by  Direcho,  won  second  money  and  Helen 
Norte  was  third.  Lady  Sealskin  paced  a  great  race 
in  the  2:13  class  purse,  getting  a  record  of  2:06%

THE  BRONCHO  PACES  TO  A  WORLD'S  RECORD. 

At  Decatur,  Illinois,  on  Thursday  of  last  week,  The 
Broncho,  a  daughter  of  Stormcliffe,  set  the  world's 
record  for  pacing  mares  in  a  race  at  2:03%  and  won 
the  fastest  four-heat  race  ever  paced  by  one  of  her 
sex.  There  were  five  starters  in  the  race,  which  was 
a  free-for-all,  with  a  purse  of  $500.  They  were  The 
Broncho,  Hazel  Patch,  Eleanor,  Fantine  and  Nonamie. 
The  whole  town  shut  down  and  went  out  to  the  track 
almost  15,000  strong,  and  they  were  rewarded  by 
seeing  the  greatest  performance  in  recent  years.  In 
the  first  heat  the  horses  scored  away  at  better  than  a 
two  minute  clip  and  Dean,  taking  the  mare  back, 
threw  her  to  a  break.  Hazel  Patch  and  Eleanor  went 
on  and  raced  it  out  to  the  time  of  2:06%. 

After  that  The  Broncho  was  never  headed,  and  in 
the  third  heat  she  took  a  mark  of  2:04%,  putting  her 
out  of  the  2:06  class.  Dean  turned  her  loose  for  the 
world's  record  in  the  fourth  heat,  which  she  took 
handily  without  trouble  in  0:29%,  1:01%,  1:32%,  and 
2.03%. 

The  stallion  Hazel  Patch,  with  his  veteran  driver, 
J.  W.  Flack,  never  gave  up  gamely  trying,  but  he 
could  not  reach  the  fleet  mare.  The  summary  of  the 
race  is  as  follows:

BLOOD   WILL  TELL. 

The  blood  of  Happy  Medium  and  Geo.  M.  Patchen 
30,  by  force  of  merit  has  given  these  stallions  endur- 
ing fame.  Among  all  the  sons  of  Hambletonian  that 
have  appeared  in  this  country  either  in  earlier  or 
later  times  probably  no  son  of  that  dead  hero  has 
ever  proved  superior  as  a  transmitter  of  a  high  rate 
of  speed  than  Happy  Medium.  He  sired  Nancy 
Hanks  2:04  and  such  speed  has  been  characteristic 
of  all  his  generations.  His  sons  have  sired  extreme 
speed  and  one  sired  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon  1:58%. 
His  grandsons  have  sired  extreme  speed  as  shown  by 
Sadie  Mac  2:05,  and  his  daughters  have  produced  ex- 
treme speed,  as  for  instance  Admiral  Dewey  2:06%, 
and  dam  of  the  sire  of  The  Broncho  2:03%,  champion 
pacing  race  mare.  His  blood  has  swelled  the  honor 
roll  until  breeders  have  come  to  know  his  race  as 
one  that  breeds  on  through  both  male  and  female 
lines,  and  produces  extreme  speed  and  campaigners. 
It  seemed  for  a  while  that  Happy  Medium  was  to 
live  in  the  opinion  of  many  chiefly  through  Hamble- 
tonian, but  it  seems  now  that  his  blood  has  founded 
a  family  differing  widely  from  other  sons  of  Ham- 
bletonian, and  equally  great  in  quality  to  any.  His 
blood  is  like  good  wine,  it  needs  no  bush,  and  to 
not  know  its  greatness  means  to  be  unlearned  in  the 
science  of  breeding  of  the  speedy  harness.  Giving 
all  due  credit  to  other  great  sons  of  Hambletonian. 
Nancy  Hanks,  Lou  Dillon,  The  Broncho  and  Sadie 
Mac  would  alone  be  a  sufficient  monument  to  his 
blood's  worth.  His  blood  is  now  in  great  demand, 
but  it  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  its  value  is 
greater  or  less  in  proportion  to  the  quantity  and 
quality  of  the  strains  with  which  it  is  commingled. 
To  estimate  this  value  correctly  we  should  weigh 
the  evidence  in  the  true  balance — the  2:10  list.  This 
shows  that  the  blood  of  Happy  Medium  is  there 
mingled  with  that  of  Dictator.  Edwin  Forrest,  Arion, 
Geo.  Wilkes,  Electioneer,  Sidney,  American  Star, 
Mambrino  Chief,  Williamson's  Belmont,  John  Nelson, 
Director,  Pilot  Jr.,  Clay,  Blackbird  and  Geo,  M. 
Patchen  30.  Such  are  the  blood  lines  that  have 
produced  Lou  Dillon,  Nancy  Hanks,  Sadie  Mac,  The 
Broncho,  Admiral  Dewey  and  others,  and  has  proved 
wonderfully   potent   and   a   great   combination. 

I  can  also  see  that  the  blood  of  Geo.  M.  Patchen  30, 
once  champion  of  his  sex,  is  proving  through  Lou 
Dillon,  The  Broncho,  Zolock,  Stamboul,  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron,  North  Star,  Monroe  and  others  that  it  needs 
no  bush,  and  to  estimate  its  value  correctly  we  should 
hold  the  blood  of  Geo.  M.  Patchen  in  the  highest 
esteem.  SAMUEL  GAMBLE.

DOES    ALL    THAT    IS    CLAIMED. 

Mr.  G.  E.  King  of  Wlngham,  Ont.,  writes  as  follows:  "I  had  a 
very  valuable  mare  badly  oapped  on  both  hocks.  A  bottle  of 
Quinn's  Ointment  made  her  B9  clean  as  any  horse.  It  does  lis 
work  painlessly  and  1  have  every  reason  to  believe  It  will  do  in 
any  case  all  that  is  olalmed  to  it."  This  is  the  general  verdict 
of  leading  horsemen  all  over  the  country  who  are  using  Qulnn's 
Ointment.  For  curbs,  splints,  spavins,  wlndpuffs  and  all  bunches 
try  this  wonderful  remedy.  Prioe  one  dollar  per  bottle.  Satis-

OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINIONS,     (ffj 


Kentucky  Stock  Farm:  The  chances  are  that  if 
there  is  another  challenge  cup  offered  by  Cleveland 
lor  matinee  trotters  it  will  not  be  open  to  the  free-for- 
allers,  as  has  been  the  custom  in  the  past.  Mr.  H.  K. 
Devereux,  president  ot  the  American  League  of  Ama- 
teur Driving  Clubs,  believes  that  the  proper  idea 
would  be  to  have  the  event  open  to  2:10  trotters.  If 
that  were  the  case  the  entry  list  would  be  a  large  one 
each  year,  and  all  matinee  drivers  would  be  encour- 
aged to  purchase  or  breed  horses  that  would  be  able 
to  trot  in  that  company.  This  year  a  lot  of  amateurs 
were  scared  out  by  the  belief  that  either  Lou  Dillon 
or  Major  Delmar  would  be  starters.  Only  millionaires 
can  afford  to  own  such  horses,  and  the  average  ama- 
teur driver  is  really  barred  out.  It  is  almost  as  bad 
with  Tom  Axworthy  and  Doctor  Strong  starting,  for 
there  are  only  a  few  horses  owned  by  amateurs  that 
are  capable  of  holding  their  own  with  either  of  this 
famous  pair  of  campaigners.  Thus  it  was  two  years 
ago  when  John  A.  McKerron,  Lord  Derby  and  The 
Monk  were  the  only  starters.  All  the  others  were 
scared  out. 

Mr.  Devereux  believes  that  this  race  does  not  prop- 
erly represent  the  strength  of  the  matinee  sport.  "It 
is  now  a  two  or  three-horse  race,"  says  Mr.  Dev- 
ereux. "when  it  is  within  the  power  of  the  clubs  to 
make  it  a  ten-horse  race.  Suppose  it  was  open  merely 
to  2:10  trotters  this  year.  Cleveland  would  have 
Aerolite  or  Leola,  Jack  Wilkes,  Italia,  Harry  McKer- 
ron and  Allie  Jay  that  would  stand  a  chance  of  win- 
ning, in  addition  to  whatever  horse  Mr.  Billings  would 
enter.  Pittsburg  would  have  three  or  four  eligible 
and  Capable,  while  Syracuse,  New  York,  Boston, 
Memphis,  Chicago  and  Columbus  would  also  enter 
several.  In  fact,  it  might  be  necessary  to  split  the 
Held,  whereas  now  only  three  or  four  are  liable  to 
start.  Cleveland  may  start  Aerolite,  but  what  chance 
does  he  stand  against  Tom  Axworthy  and  Doctor 
Strang?" 

Mr.  Billings  feels  the  same  in  regard  to  this  subject 

|  as  does  Mr.  Devereux,  and  should  the  challenge  cup 

i  remain  in  Chicago  the  chances  are  that  Chicago  will 

make  the  event  eligible  to  the   2:10  class  next  year. 

Although  owning  the  fastest  trotters  in  the  world,  Mr. 

Billings  is  a  man  that  is  most  considerate  toward  his 

■  fellow   drivers,   and  he  feels  that  under  the   present 

conditions  the  ownership  of  a  cup  racer  is  something 

;  that  is  restricted  to  only  a  few.     That  he  wants  to 

:  give  the  owners  of  slower  classes  a  chance  was  shown 

i  by  the  fact  that  he  allowed  the  Cleveland  Club  to  de- 

•  cide  which  horse  he  should  start  in  the  coming  mati- 

i  nee.     The  members  to  a  man  were  in  favor  of  one  of 

L!  his  slower  horses.     By  that  vote  they  have  stretched 

I  the  race  from  a  two -horse  affair  to  one  in  which  four 

I  or  five  horses  may  start. 


the  rule,  it  was  only  at  the  expense  of  the  others  in 
the  race. 

Take,  for  example,  the  Empire  State  purse  of  $10,000, 
won  by  Sadie  Mac,  in  which  but  $S000  was  raced  for, 
the  other  $2000  being  held  over  for  a  consolation 
race.  Under  the  new  plan,  Sadie  Mac  won  $4400,  or 
$400  more  than  she  would  receive,  had  the  usual 
method  of  dividing  the  money  been  in  force,  whereas 
in  the  cases  of  Zephyr,  Miss  Gay  and  Brownie  Wilton, 
each  received  respectively  $S0,  $180,  and  $320  less, 
while  Bonnie  Russell  for  finishing  third  (after  laying 
up  the  first  two  heats,  for  he  finished  ninth  and 
eighth  in  them)  gets  $4S0,  which  really  came  out  of 
the  pockets  of  the  other  three,  as  did  the  $400  extra 
won  by  Sadie  Mac. 

Take  another  race,  that  won  by  Hardwood.  The 
latter  wras  benefited,  as  were  both  Getaway  and  Belle 
Isle,  but  at  the  expense  of  Sister  Collette,  who  stood 
second  in  the  summary,  and  would  have  received  sec- 
ond money  under  the  usual  plan,  whereas  under  this 
new  method,  she  gave  the  fourth  horse  $50,  the  third 
$15  and  $5  to  the  winner. 

These  two  are  merely  examples  cited  to  show  the 
unfairness  of  dividing  the  money  in  this  manner,  for 
in  no  case  was  a  money  winner  benefited  unless  it  was 
at  the  expense  of  some  other  horse,  and  it  is  safe  to 
say  that  what  with  the  exhibition  made  at  Detroit, 
where  this  rule  wras  also  in  force,  this  method  of 
dividing  the  money  will  not  be  popular  with  the  horse 
owners  in  general  and  it  will  probably  be  relegated  to 
where  "the  woodbine  twineth,"  for  it  not  only  has  not 
prevented  that  for  which  it  was  intended,  viz.,  the 
laying  up  of  heats,  but  has  also  proved  a  detriment  to 
the  "honest  horse." 


HORSEBACK    RIDING    FOR    WOMEN. 


Breeders  Gazette:  It  is  said  that  not  so  long  ago 
the  presence  of  a  famous  trainer  and  his  horses 
spoiled  an  entire  four-day  meeting.  The  other  trainers 
did  not  care  to  start  against  him.  There  is  a  lesson 
in  this  that  might  well  be  taken  to  heart  by  all 
breeders  of  horses  in  this  day  and  age.  It  is  the  best 
that  gets  the  money.     It  makes  no  difference  where, 

'  when  or  how  the  trial  comes,  be  it  in  the  market 
place  or  the  race  track,  superlative  excellence  draws 
the  money.  The  American  horse  market  has  reached 
a  stage  where  the  wisest  critics  known  to  the  trade 
say  there  will  never  be  any  material  lowering  of  prices 
for   good   horses   of   any    real   commercial    class — the 

i  heavy  drafter  and  the  carriage  horse  for  instance — 
for  the  reason  that  conditions  requiring  their  use  have 
become  so  firmly  fixed.  Times  may  change,  but  the 
cities  have  grown  so  large  and  the  country  so  popu- 
lous that  the  merchants  must  have  the  drafters,  and 
if  those   do   profitable  work  they  want  the   carriage 

|!  horses  for  purposes  of  recreation.     It  seems  to  be  a 

I  sort  of  a  reciprocal  arrangement.     But  the  point  is  to 

:  get  into  the  business  right.  We  see,  especially  at  this 
time    of   the   year,    thousands    of   nondescript   horses 

I  auctioned  off  in  the  great  marts,  many  times  at  less 
than  country  cost,  but  let  a  good  horse,  suppose  he  is 

I  only  a  good  "wagon"  horse,  be  led  in  and  the  bidding 
springs  into  liveliness  at  once. 


Horseback  riding  is  a  means  of  pleasure  and  exer- 
cise, which  is  of  course  limited  to  the  lucky  girls 
whose  indulgent  "poppers"  have  bank  accounts  with 
money  in  them — not  the  kind  of  bank  accounts  that 
most  of  us  have — the  sort  that  leaks  at  the  corners 
and  run  dry  just  at  the  moment  when  we  need  them 
most.  But  for  the  girl  who  is  looking  for  an  excuse 
for  spending  money,  horseback  riding  is  about  the 
sanest,  most  beneficial  and  delightful  fad  that  she  can 
find  in  a  long,  long  search. 

A  graceful  woman  who  understands  "form" — which 
is  merely  another  way  of  saying  that  she  understands 
how  to  sit,  hold  the  reins  and  manage  her  mount — 
makes  a  very  charming  picture  cantering  through  the 
soft  bridle  paths  of  the  city  parks.  If  she  fails  to 
receive  the  keenest  kind  of  enjoyment  from  this  ex- 
tremely healthy  sport  it  is  because  her  heart  possesses 
little  of  the  effervescing  yeast  of  human  delight. 
There  is  wholesome  exhilaration  about  the  fun  that 
puts  golf,  tennis  and  all  the  rest  far  back  into  the 
shadows. 

Naturally  the  first  thing  a  woman  thinks  of  is  her 
habit,  which  style  of  riding  gown  will  prove  most  be- 
coming. The  second  thought  is  that  of  getting  a  good 
horse  of  which  she  may  be  proud.  Neither  one  idea 
nor   the   other   should   be   first,   or   even   second. 

It  is  safe  to  say  that  there  is  absolutely  no  such 
thing  as  a  sure,  reliable  horse  that  will  never  run  or 


over  upon  her  mind  that  she  must  not  depend  upon 
the  horse's  mouth  or  the  reins  for  balance,  but  rather 
by  the  correct  position,  a  firm  seat  and  absolute  bal- 
ance above  the  waist. 

During  this  lesson  she  is  told  to  sit  close  to  the 
saddle,  although  the  horse  is  touched  up  to  a  slow 
trot  and  a  quiet  canter  follows.  If  she  is  particularly 
quick  to  grasp  the  ideas,  she  is  then  allowed  to  rise 
to  the  trot,  and  after  the  motion  of  the  horse  is  once 
caught  she  will  have  little  difficulty  in  rising  regularly 
with  the  action  of  the  horse's  forelegs. 

At  this  point  she  is  given  the  reins,  which  she  holds 
in  both  hands,  which  habit  will  be  less  likely  to 
cause  her  to  sit  askew.  The  experienced  horseback 
rider  can  of  course  carry  the  reins  in  the  left  hand, 
with  the  short  whip  in  the  right.  The  instructor  will 
show  her  how  the  left  snaffle  rein  goes  outside  of  her 
little  finger,  the  left  curb  between  the  little  and  third 
finger,  while  the  right  curb  is  placed  between  the 
second  and  third  fingers  and  the  right  snaffle  between 
the  first  and  second  fingers. 

The  correct  position  for  riding  is  an  erect  body,  the 
shoulders  set  squarely  to  the  front  and  thrown  back 
well,  the  head  up  high,  the  chin  set  back  firmly  and 
the  arms  hanging  free  and  loose  to  the  elbow.  Let  the 
hands  be  close  together  and  held  low,  and  the  right 
knee  always  immoveable,  for  she  must  not  rise  from 
that  part  of  the  body.  The  ball  of  the  left  foot  rests 
in  the  stirrup,  while  the  left  leg  must  be  held  quiet, 
the  heel  being  away  from  the  horse. 

When  Mr.  Horse  stumbles  the  rider  must  sit  well 
back  and  pull  up  his  head.  If  he  rears,  the  reins/must 
be  left  loose  and  the  body  thrown  forward.  The  habit 
of  suddenly  backing  must  be  corrected  by  a  sharp  lit- 
tle crack  of  the  whip.  When  the  horse  shys  or  be- 
comes skittish  the  thing  is  to  sit  close.  In  case  of  a 
runaway,  no  good  is  to  be  accomplished  by  jumping, 
and  there  is  always  a  possibility  of  the  gown  or  foot 
catching — and,  in  that  event,  all  sorts  of  trouble  will 
ensue.  All  the  unfortunate  woman  -can  do  is  to  sit 
close,  try  to  guide  the  animal  and  trust  to  luck  or  a 
policeman. 

To  come  to  the  question  of  costume,  it  is  a  foregone 
conclusion  that  the  divided  skirt  is  the  most  sensible 
thing  yet  devised.  Whether  or  not  a  woman  selects 
this  kind  of  a  garment  depends  upon  her  own  ideas 
concerning  the  fitness  and  modesty  of  such  radical 
dress.  Certainly  it  is  her  privilege  to  clothe  herself 
as  she  pleases.  It  is  a  question  of  greater  comfort 
and  safety  and  that  alone  is  sufficient  excuse  for 
divided  skirts. — Mme.  Qui  Vive,  in  Record-Herald. 


BEHIND  THE  TIMES. 


A  New  York  paper  which  pays  attention  to  mat- 
ters pertaining  to  autoists  as  well-  as  to  those  of 
interest  to  horsemen  tells  some  plain  truths  about 
the  advertising  methods  of  the  men  interested  in  the 
two  branches  of  sport  as  follows:  "Lovers  of  the 
'  horse  and  manufacturers  of  vehicles,  harness  and 
other  accessories  should  take  heed  of  the  enterprising 
methods  of  the  automobile's  producers  and  users  in 
advancing  their  respective  claims  to  recognition.  By 
comparison  the  "hoss  fellers"  have  been  away  behind 


the  times,  we  regret  to  say,  not  only  in  their  adver- 
shy,  unless  one  picks  out  a  weary  old  nag  whose  fire  tising  methods,  wrhich  are  too  skimpy,  but  by  their 
and    spirit   departed   many   years   ago.     However,    no     lack  of  public  spirit  in  promoting  and  fostering  insti- 


woman  who  rides  horseback  should  risk  her  life  with 
a  horse  that  is  really  extremely  high-spirited.  The 
sidesaddle  and  her  long  skirts,  to  say  nothing  of  her 
lack  of  strength,  scarcely  put  her  in  a  position  to 
save  herself  in  moments  of  emergency  and  danger. 

The  selection  of  a  good  horse,  one  that  is  tractable, 
neither  slow  nor  too  fast,  is  the  paramount  necessity. 
A  good,  strong  saddle  is  the  next  consideration. 

Before  attempting  to  ride,  a  woman  should  make 
friends  with  the  horse.  She  should  visit  him  at  the 
stable,  feeding  him  oats  or  sugar  from  the  hand,  pet- 
ting him,   overcoming  any  natural  timidity   she  may 


tutions  that  labor  in  the  field  for  their  benefit.  It  is 
distasteful  to  these  interests  to  admit  it,  but  the 
fact  cannot  be  denied  that  more  advancement  has 
been  made  in  many  directions,  say,  for  example,  in 
the  improvement  of  roads,  since  the  advent  of  the 
bicycle  and  the  automobile  than  had  been  accom- 
plished in  decades  of  years  before.  .  Of  course,  the 
automobile  users  have  been  almost  entirely  recruited 
from  the  higher  ranks  of  the  horsemen,  and,  there- 
fore, the  credit  for  what  they  have  done  is  to  be 
equally  divided.  But  it  is  not  to  the  amateur  patron 
of  either  the  horse  or  the  machine  that  we  are  ad- 


have,  and  thus  permitting  him  to  become  acquainted     dressing  these  remarks:   they  apply  more  particularly 


Spirit  of  the  West:     There  appears  to  be  greater  in- 

flterest  manifested  in  the  county  and  district  fairs  this 

ear  than  for  several  years  past.     It  is  an  indication 

hat   farmers   and   business   men    in   the    county   seat 

vns  appreciate  the  value  of  holding  fairs.     A  well 

anaged  county  fair  will  greatly  benefit  the  farmers 
nd  live  stock  producers;  it  will  also  help  the  mer- 
hants  and  the  business  interests  of  the  county.  Suc- 
cessful county  fairs  means  more  improved  live  stock, 
nore  money  to  the  producer  and  farmer,  and  counties 
hat  do  not  hold  fairs  are  not  up  to  date  either  in 
itock  raising  or  farming.  Imagine  the  increase  in 
.vealth  to  each  county,  by  the  reason  of  holding  a 
rood  county  fair  each  year,  that  from  one  to  ten  dol- 

rs  per  head  is  added  to  the  value  of  swine,  sheep, 

.cattle   and    horses    by    improving   the    breed.      Every 

|tarmer  and  business  man,  property  owner  as  well  as 

enter,    is    interested.      The    general    benefit    to    the 

ounty  helps  every  resident  of  the  county,  and  every 

ne  should  take  an  interest  and  give  their  county  fair 
oyal   support. 

American  Horse  Breeder:  When  the  plan  now  fa- 
nous  as  the  Buffalo  plan  was  promulgated  by  its  au- 
hor,  it  was  with  the  idea  that  it  would  prove  bene- 
lcial  to  campaigning  horsemen  at  large  and  prevent 
he  laying  up  of  heats,  which  was  all  very  good  as  a 
heory,  but  which  has  proven  the  exact  reverse  when 


with  her.  The  theory  of  the  management  of  a  horse 
should  be  explained  to  the  amateur.  She  must  be 
made  to  understand  the  necessity  of  riding  from  bal- 
ance instead  of  pulling  herself  up  by  the  horse's 
mouth,  and  be  shown  the  action  of  the  curb  chain  on 
the  chin  so  that  she  may  know  just  why  the  snaffle 
should  be  used  for  ordinary  purposes,  so  that  in  cases 
of  emergency  she  may  have  the  curb  to  fall  back 
upon. 

It  should  also  be  explained  to  her  that  if  she  pulls 
against  him  the  horse  will  invariably  pull  against  her 
and  that  therefore  she  must  not  keep  a  dead  bearing 
on  his  mouth.  The  reins  require  delicate  manipula- 
tion, and  a  horse  can  be  kept  collected  and  in  order 
by  a  light  feling  on  the  curb  and  a  very  light  touch 
of  the  whip. 

The  riding  master  will  teach  her  many  things  be- 
fore she  even  attempts  to  get  on  the  horse's  back. 

He  will  tell  her  the  folly  of  trying  to  make  the  horse 
trot,  by  attempting  to  rise.  Unless  the  animal  is  trot- 
ting squarely  she  must  sit  close  to  the  saddle  instead 
of  bobbing  up  and  down  like  a  shuttle.  He  is  quite 
sure  to  jog  or  go  unevenly  at  first.  All  that  is  neces- 
sary to  start  the  horse  into  a  canter  is  to  elevate  the 
hands  a  trifle  and  touch  the  horse  lightly  on  the 
shoulder  with  the  whip. 

The  favorite  manner  of  many  horseback  riders  is 
to  tug  at  the  reins,  dig  the  animal  in  the  ribs  and 
keep  up  an  everlasting  clucking.  This  causes  a  ner- 
vous horse  to  become  confused  and  excited,  and  it 
should  be  the  one  thought  always  of  the  rider  to  keep 
her  steed  quiet  and  in  good  temper.  She  not  only  an- 
noys her  own  horse  by  clucking  and  fussing,  but  she 
is  likely  to  cause  annoyance  to  other  riders  whose 
horses  do  not  know  whether  or  not  the  signals  are  for 
them. 

At   the   beginning  of  the   first  lesson    the   pupil   is 


to  the  professional  elements  in  each  case,  as  they  are 
supposed  to  take  the  initiative  and  their  patrons  after- 
wards, when  shown  the  way.  set  the  liberal  pace." 
It  is  a  fact  that,  as  a  rule,  the  industries  allied  with 
the  horse  are  about  the  poorest  advertised  of  any 
of  the  trades  which  depend  so  largely  on  a  floating 
trade  as  they  do.  One-half  the  money  that  was  spent 
in  advertising  automobiles  last  year,  intelligently 
spent  in  informing  the  public  of  the  great  enjoyment 
to  be  gotten  from  the  use  of  horses  in  the  various 
ways  they  may  be  used,  would  have  added  so  largely 
to  the  ranks  of  those  who  do  use  them  as  to  have 
increased  the  trade  in  driving  and  riding  equipages 
to  an  extent  that  would  have  been  vastly  pleasing  to 
the  manufacturers  and  dealers  in  goods  of  that  kind. 
There  is  no  use  in  talking,  advertising  is  the  power 
which  has  done  so  much  to  increase  the  sales  of 
automobiles  and  the  lack  of  its  use  by  lh"se  inter- 
ested in  the  horse  and  his  equipment  is  responsible 
hugely  for  his  not  being  in  greater  use  than  he  is 
as  a  means  of  pleasurable  recreation.— Horse   World. 


There  Is  no  telling  just  how  much  difference  there 
is  between  racing  over  a  half-mile  and  a  mile  track. 
Opinions  vary  as  to  the  difference  in  time,  some 
claiming  that  not  more  than  three  seconds  mark  the 
actual  handicap  of  racing  over  a  two-lap  track.  At 
Colorado  Springs  the  chestnut  gelding  Dewey,  who 
gained  a  record  of  2:13%  at  Denver,  was  beaten  in 
2:20  in  the  first  heat  of  the  2:14  trot,  while  four 
days  later  he  was  beaten  in  2.21%  over  the  same 
track. 


>ut  in  actual  practice,  as  will  be  seen  by  a  glance  at  placed  in  the  saddle,  not  allowed  to  touch  the  rems, 
he  table  of  the  money  winners  at  Buffalo,  published  and  the  horse  is  led  at  a  slow  walk,  so  that  the  proper 
n  our  last  issue,  for  where  a  horse  was  benefited  by     positions    are    explained.      It    is    impressed   over   and 


Cresceus  2:02y.  the  champion  trotting  stallion, 
will  be  sold  at  auction  at  the  Fasig-Tlpton  Old  Glory 
sale  in  November.  He  is  already  :i  2:10  sire  and 
should  bring  quite  a  sum  of  money  as  lie  would  be 
a  very  profitable  horse  to  stand  for  public  service  nt 
$100  the  season.  It  ought  to  be  easy  to  clear  $5000 
a  year  with  him.

TWENTY    YEARS'    SNIPE     SHOOTING. 


There  was  printed  a  remarkable  book  with  the 
above  title  in  1S99,  at  the  Knickerbocker  Press,  New 
York.  As  it  was  published  for  private  circulation 
only,  and  no  copies  apparently  were  sent  out  lor 
review,  it  has  escaped  the  notice  of  the  critics,  and 
is  probably  known  to  few  readers  beyond  the  im- 
mediate circle  of  the  writer's  own  friends,  amongst 
whom  the  book  was   distributed. 

It  is  a  volume  of  some  300  pages,  consisting  of  ex- 
tracts from  the  journals  of  the  late  Mr.  J.  J.  Pringle. 
a  noted  Southern  snipe  shooter,  and  is  illustrated 
with  twenty-four  photographs.  The  scene  is  laid 
at  Oaklawn,  Bayou  Teche,  in  southwest  Louisiana, 
where  for  twenty  seasons  Mr.  Pringle  enjoyed  some 
of  the  finest  snipe  shooting  in  the  world.  It  has  been 
generally  believed  that  the  largest  bags  of  snipe  made 
by  a  single  gun  have  been  obtained  in  India,  Ceylon 
and  Egypt,  and  the  remarkable  bags  made  in  Ire- 
land by  Colonel  John  Peyton,  as  recorded  by  Sir  R. 
Payne  Gallwey  in  his  "Fowler  in  Ireland."  should  not 
be  overlooked,  but  all  these  are  put  completely  in  the 
shade  by  the  results  obtained  in  Louisiana  by  Mr. 
Pringle  between  the  years  L867-1887,  when  the  country 
iiver  which  he  sported  was  a  perfect  paradise  for  the 
snipe  shooter.  The  ground  over  which  he  shot  is 
thus  described: 

"A  few  miles  from  Berwick's  Bay  there  enters  from 
the  west  the  Bayou  Teche.  loveliest  of  Southern 
streams,  navigable  for  more  than  100  miles,  pre- 
serving at  all  seasons  an  equal  depth  and  breadth; 
so  genili-  is  its  flow  that  it  might  be  taken  for  a 
canal,  did  not  the  charming  and  graceful  curves  by 
which  it  separates  the  undulating  prairies  of  Atta- 
k; 1 1 •: ls  from  i  he  alluvium  of  the  Atchafalaya  mark 
it  as  a  work  of  nature.  The  Teche  waters  the 
parishes  of  St.  Mary,  New  Iberia,  St.  Martin,  La- 
fayette and  St.  Landry — the  Attakapas  home  of  the 
v  adians." 

Such  was  the  condition  of  the  country  as  Mr. 
Pringle  found  it  in  1S67,  and  as  it  continued  for  the 
first  fifteen  or  sixteen  years  of  his  shooting.  It  was, 
however,  quite  changed  in  later  years  by  the  exten- 
sion of  the  New  Orleans  and  Opelousas  Railway. 
now  part  of  the  Southern  Pacific  system,  from  Ber- 
wick's  Bay,  iis  then  terminus,  to  Franklin,  eight  miles 
from     his     shooting     shack     (which    he    called    "The

Snipery")  and  afterwrards  to  San  Francisco.  Then 
the  prairies  and  marshes  which  previously  had  been 
grazed  over  by  herds  of  cattle,  affording  excellent 
feeding  ground  for  snipe  were  gradually  fence' 
drained  and  tilled,  and  the  snipe  grounds  over  whic] 
he  used  to  shoot  were  gradually  curtailed,  and  even^ 
tually  entirely  destroyed. 

His  favorite  ground  consisted  of  low  lying  marsh 
with  a  green  aquatic  weed,  which  he  called  blue  iris, 
bearing  a  beautiful  blue  flower  in  spring,  and  otfier 
water  weeds  and  grasses  affording  excellent  cover  for 
the  birds.     Adjacent  to  these  lower  marshes,   which 
he  called  the  lower  grounds,   about  fifteen   to  thirty 
inches  above  their  level,  sloping  down  to  them  with 
a  gradual  and  almost  imperceptible  descent,  was  a  low 
undulating  prairie,  which  he  called  the  upper  grounds, 
in  the  depressions  of  which  also  grew  the  blue  iris 
and  various  water  grasses.     The  birds  were  generally 
found  on  the  lower  ground  in  dry  weather,  or  when 
there  had  not  been  rain  enough   to  submerge  them 
but  in  wet  weather,  when  these  lower  marshes  we: 
too  much  flooded,  they  resorted  to  the  upper  grounds. 

The  walking,  as  snipe  shooting  goes,  was  uncom 
monly  good,  so  that  one  could  get  over  the  ground  a 
a  good  pace,  which  in  a  measure  accounts  for  th 
large  bags  that  were  made,  althugh,  of  course,  th 
good   shooting  must   be  taken   into   account. 

When  snipe  were  abundant  Mr.  Pringle  kept  hi 
dog — either  Setter  or  Pointer — at  heel,  and  only 
used  him  to  "seek  dead,"  not  to  retrieve;  for  a  dog 
sent  out  to  retrieve  would  have  put  up  many  birds 
which  would  have  gone  off,  some  of  them  unshot  at. 
So  that  by  walking  to  the  dead  birds  and  picking 
them  up  himself  he  got  many  more  shots.  This,  of 
course,  gave  more  walking,  but  more  shooting.  Hi 
had  an  old  negro  attendant  who  was  a  wonderfi 
marker,  and  it  was  his  busines  when  birds  wen 
rising  fast  and  the  shooting  was  rapid  to  mark  down 
and  keep  count  of  the  dead  birds,  and  then  report 
the  number  down.  Standing  quite  still  and  indicat- 
ing the  spots  one  after  another,  Mr.  Pringle  would 
walk  to  the  dead  birds  and  pick  them  up.  When 
snipe  were  numerous  he  would  sometimes  have  ten 
or  a  dozen  down  at  the  same  time,  and  by  pursuing 
this  plan  in  going  from  one  to  another,  by  the  time 
he  had  gathered  these  he  would  perhaps  kill  several 
more,  the  majority  of  w7hich  would  have  escaped 
unshot  at  if  he  had  sent  the  colored  man  or  dog  for 
them. 

Mr.  Pringle's  method  is  so  instructive  to  snipe 
shooters  that  it  deserves  to  be  quoted  at  length: 

"On  reaching  the  ground  and  getting  out  of  the 
wagon,  I  would  station  it  on  a  ridge,  with  orders 
to  keep  within  signalling  distance,  and  when  I  re- 
quired more  shells,  or  my  men  had  as  many  birds 
as  they  could  well  carry,  I  would  signal,  and  it  would 
come  to  me  as  fast  as  possible.  When  birds  were 
abundant  I  never  allowed  the  dog  to  range,  for  a 
snipe  is  a  very  wild  bird,  with  but  little  scent  and 
a  dog.  however  good  and  careful,  would  flush  out  of 
distance   many   more   birds   than    he    would    point. 

When  practicable  I  shot  down  wind,  with  a  marker 
or  beater  walking  abreast  of  me  about  fifteen  yards 
off;  with  two  beaters,  one  on  each  side  of  me,  I 
would  have  the  wagon  meet  me  to  leeward,  and  when 
I  got  to  the  end  of  the  beat  I  would  drive  over  the 
ground  I  had  just  beaten,  so  as  not  to  disturb  the 
rest  of  it.  and  take  another  parallel  beat  down  wind, 
and^so  on  until  I  had  shot  all  that  ground  out.  Of- 
tener.  however,  I  would  begin  on  the  weather  side 
of  the  ground,  and  beat  across  wind.  My  beaters, 
if  I  had  more  than  one,  were  then  both  to  leeward 
of  me,  the  one  next  to  me  about  fifteen  yards  off 
and  somwhat  behind  me,  the  other  the  same  distance 
from  the  first  and  a  little  behind  him.  So,  as  snipe 
on  raising  generally  fly  to  windward,  I  got  shots  at 
the  birds  rising,  not  only  before  me,  but  before  my 
beaters.  This  would  give  me  longer  shots,  but  more 
of  them.  In  shooting  up  wind — which,  from  the  lay 
of  the  ground,  I  sometimes  found  it  convenient  to 
do — my  marker  would  walk  on  a  parallel  line  wi 
me,  about  fifteen  yards  oft  and  well  behind — t] 
wilder  the  birds  the  farther  behind;  with  two  beate: 
one  on  each  side  of  me,  I  walked  well  ahead.  Indeed, 
I  reduced  the  shooting  of  these  grounds  to  a  system 
(to  which,  to  a  certain  extent,  was  due  my  large 
bags),  so  as  to  get  each  day  as  many  birds  as  pos- 
sible in  as  short  a  time  as  possible." 

What  these  bags  were  like  may  be  seen  from  the 
following  extracts  from  the  journal  which  was  care- 
fully posted  up  each  day  on  his  return  from  shooting; 
the  season  commencing  on  November  1st  and  ending 
about  the  middle  of  March. 

The  best  six  consecutive  shooting  days,  with  a  rest 
between,  were  experienced  in  November.  1874.  Thus: 
19th  November,  207;  21st  November,  214;  23d  Novem- 
ber. 22S;  25th  November,  301;  27th  November,  208; 
30th  November,  256;  total  for  the  six  days.  1.414.  In 
seven  days  in  December,  1SS7,  the  bags  were  270,  25 
366.  271,  286.  233  and  262;   total,  1,943. 

Over  300  a  day  were  killed  on  certain  occasion: 
making  972  in  the  three  days.  Over  200  a  day  were 
killed  on  twenty-six  days,  making  in  all  6,37S,  and 
300  and  upwards  were  bagged  on  2S5  days,  giving  a 
total  of  40.367  snipe.  During  the  twenty  seasons' 
snipe  shooting,  from  1S67  te  1SS7,  the  following  extra- 
ordinary result  was  obtained.

It  only  remains  to  add  a  few  of  Mr.  Pringle's  re- 
marks on  the  guns  used,  powder  and  shot. 

"For  a  few  seasons  I  shot  with  guns  of  Lang, 
Purdey,  and  Grant;  afterwards  altogether  with  Pur- 
dey's  hammer  cylinder;  then  (when  they  came  in) 
with  a  Remington  hammerless  choked — the  perfection 
of  guns,  in  my  opinion — they  shot  so  hard,  wore  so 
well,  and  handled  so  beautifully  as  to  leave  nothing 
to  be  desired,  weighing  6  lb.  10  oz.  As  to  shot.  No. 
9  chilled  shot  was  used,  sometimes  No.  S  for  the  left 
barrel;  I  stuck  to  black  powder  for  a  long  time,  for  I 
always  had  a  feeling  that  it  shot  stronger.  Event- 
ually, however,  I  used  Schultz,  though  to  the  end  I 
occasionally  used  black  for  the  second  barrel.  I  shot 
with  only  one  gun  at  a  time,  and  had  no  loader.  From 
much  practice  I  became  very  expert  and  quick  in 
loading.  Keeping  the  shells  loose  in  an  open  pocket, 
I  could  slip  them  in  with  great  rapidity." 

Though  much  exposed  to  wet  and  cold,  this  inces- 
sant snipe  shooter  was  never  prevented  from  shooting 
by  ailment  of  any  kind,  except  once,  in  the  season  of 
1S7S-1S79,  when  he  had  a  severe  attack  of  rheumatic 
gout,  complicated  with  malaria,  but  that  did  not  pre- 
vent his  killing  that  season  3.0S5  snipe  in  twenty- 
nine  days. 

Mr.  Pringle's  journal  is  a  book  for  Sacramento 
county  snipe  hunters  to  gloat  over,  and  snipe  shooters 
into  whose  hands  it  may  chance  to  fall  will  do  well  to 
peruse  it,  and  profit  to  a  limited  extent  by  the  writer's 
experience,  though  they  can  never  hope  to  meet  with 
his  success,  and  it  is  to  be  sincerely  wished  they  do 
not,  nor  that  they  have  the  opportunity  so  to  do. 


INTERSTATE    ASSOCIATION. 


1905    Pacific    Coast    Handicap    at   Targets. 


The  largest  blue  rock  tournament  that  has  ever 
been  held  on  the  Pacific  Coast  will  take  place  at  the 
Ingleside  grounds,  in  San  Francisco,  September  15th 
to  17th  inclusive,  under  the  management  of  the  Inter- 
state Association,  with  Mr.  Elmer  E.  Shaner  at  the 
helm.  Mr.  Shaner  is  so  well  known  among  the  shoot- 
ing fraternity  that  the  success  of  the  undertaking  is 
assured. 

There  will  be  ten  or  twelve  of  the  greatest  experts 
from   the  East  in  attendance,   as  we  have  assurance 


R.  O.  HEDCES 

that  Gilbert,  Crosby,  Hirschy,  Heikes  and  Fanning 
are  scheduled  for  the  San  Francisco  event.  As  these 
men  are  all  experts  and  manufacturers'  representa- 
tives, they  will  not  be  allowed  to  compete  for  any 
of  the  prizes  or  purses,  but  will  shoot  in  the  events 
for  exhibition  purposes  only. 

The  events  for  three  days  consist  of  ten  fifteen- 
bird  races,  five  twenty-bird  races,  and  two  handicap 
races  of  100  birds  each,  one  to  be  known  as  the 
"Preliminary  Handicap,"  and  the  other  as  the  "Pacific 
Coast  Handicap."  The  winner  of  either  of  these 
events  will  receive  a  beautiful  silver  cup,  emblematic 
of  his  winning.  The  cups  are  the  product  of  the  fac- 
tory of  Shreve  &   Co.,  San  Francisco. 

A  handicap  committee  has  been  appointed,  consist- 
ing of  the  following  well-known  shooters,  who  are 
thoroughly  capable  of  placing  each  shooter  at  his 
proper  distance,  in  these  events:  M.  J.  Iversen,  San 
Francisco;  "W.  H.  Varien,  Pacific  Grove;  M.  Abrahams, 
Portland;  Guy  Lovelace,  Los  Angeles,  and  F.  K.  Mc- 
Broom,   of  Spokane. 

All  events  (except  the  two  handicaps  mentioned 
above)   will  be  shot  from  the  16-yard  mark. 

The  development  of  the  sport  of  trap  shooting  dur- 
ing the  past  ten  years  has  been  really  phenomenal. 
Gun  clubs  are  now  numbered  by  the  thousands,  and 
there  are  but  few  of  the  many  thriving  cities  and 
villages  on  the  Coast  that  do  not  have  organizations 
devoted  to  the  sport  of  shooting  at  the  traps.  America 
is  far  ahead  of  any  other  nation,  in  fact  surpasses 
all  other  nations  combined,  in  respect  to  the  number 
of  clubs  of  this  description.  Other  countries — par- 
ticularly Great  Britain — have  perhaps  as  large,  if  not 
a  larger,  percentage  of  sportsmen  fond  of  recreation 
with  shot  gun  and  rifle,  but  trap  shooting,  and  es- 
pecially the  use  of  flying  targets,  seems  to  be  almost 
a  distinctively  American  pastime,  and  one  which  may 
before  many  years  vie  in  popular  interest  with  the 
national  game  of  base  ball.  It  is,  of  course,  a  pastime 
so  entirely  different  from  base  ball  that  comparison 
can  only  be  made  as  to  their  respective  popularity, 
and  it  would  seem  safe  to  prophesy  that  if  gun  clubs 
increase  in  number  as  rapidly  in  the  next  ten  years 
as  during  the  past  decade  the  trap  shooters  of  Amer- 
ica will  far  outnumber  the  active  base  ball  players. 


The  reason  of  this  remarkable  development  of 
shooting  at  the  traps  is  largely  the  influence  of  the 
sportsmen's  press.  Surprising  as  it  may  seem  the 
daily  press,  although  keenly  alive  to  the  importance 
of  recording  in  detail  the  news  connected  with  almost 
every  other  branch  of  sport,  has  given  comparatively 
little  attention  to  trap  shooting  except  where  large 
tournaments  are  held  attracting  prominent  sportsmen 
from  various  localities.  A  few  sportsmen's  journals. 
however,  of  national  circulation  and  powerful  influ- 
ence among  devotees  of  field  sports,  have  constantly 
and  consistently  advocated  the  advantages  that  are 
to  be  found  in  this  line  of  recreation,  so  well  adapted 
to  the  wants  of  those  desirous  of  enjoying  frequent 
outings  within  convenient  distance  of  city  or  town 
as  a  recreation  and  relaxation  from  business  cares. 
That  this  line  of  out  door  sport  is  conducive  to  health 
may  be  best  attested  by  the  physical  vigor  of  a  vast 
majority  of  those  who  participate  in  frequent  club 
shoots. 

Through  the  rapid  increase  in  numbers  of  trap 
shooting  enthusiasts  there  has  been  a  corresponding 
increase  in  the  demand  for  guns,  ammunition,  traps, 
targets,  etc.  So  great  has  been  the  increased  sales 
of  these  appliances  that  trap  shooting  may  be  re- 
garded as  an  important  factor  when  considering  the 
causes  which  have  necessitated  enlarging  the  facilities 
of  the  various  mills  and  manufactories  devoted  to 
the  production  of  sportsmen's  supplies.  If  it  be  true 
that  he  who  causes  two  trees  to  grow  where  but  one 
grew  before  is  a  public  benefactor,  it  is  not  unrea- 
sonable to  affirm  that  the  periodicals  devoted  to 
healthful  open  air  sports  are  doing  comendable  work, 
and  are  therefore  entitled  to  the  friendly  considera- 
tion of  those  who  derive  benefit  from  the  practice 
of  these  invigorating  pursuits. 


Basing  the  handicap  of  each  shooter  upon  his  pre- 
vious record  the  system  appears  to  be  a  fair  one  to 
all  concerned.  The  primary  purpose,  of  course,  is 
to  so  equalize  the  shooters  that  none  shall  have  an 
obvious  advantage,  and  a  careful  analysis  of  scores 
should  show  when  this  object  has  been  gained. 

If,  at  the  close  of  a  large  tournament,  or,  prefer- 
ably— for  a  more  conclusive  test — a  series  of  tourna- 
ments, the  majority  of  leading  prize  winners  under 
any  given  system  of  handicapping  prove  to  be  the 
experts,  then  the  natural  presumption  is  that  the  ex- 
pert class  has  not  been  handicapped  heavily  enough. 
On  the  other  hand,  if  the  amateurs  win  nearly  ail 
the  prizes  there  is  good  reason  for  believing  that  the 
expert  has  been  too  severely  handicapped,  and  a  re- 
adjustment on  the  basis  of  equalizing  chances  of  all 
concerned  will  afford  more  uniform  satisfaction.  The 
amateur  requires  every  encouragement  consistent 
with  justice,  to  insure  the  permanency  of  trap  shoot- 
ing, yet  the  majority  of  amateur  trap-shooters  would 
not  desire  handicaps  which  would  practically  exclude 
the  experts  from  any  wins,  when  the  latter  are  wel- 
comed in  open  competition.  At  the  G.  A.  H.  in  1903. 
for  example,  the  scores  of  the  big  event  indicated 
that  the  experts  were  too  severely  handicapped. 

At  nearly  all  the  tournaments,  it  is  believed,  the 
handicapping  committee  keeps  in  mind  the  motto — 
"a  fair  field,  and  no  favor,"  and  if,  in  some  instances 
and  apparent  advantage  seems  to  be  in  favor  of  the 
expert,  or  of  the  amateur,  as  the  case  may  be,  there 
should  be  no  occasion  to  cast  reflections  or  accusa- 
tions. A  readjustment  for  the  future,  in  such  cases, 
will  serve  a  better  purpose  than  kicking. 


Although  the  development  of  the  sport  of  trap 
shooting  has  been  almost  phenomenal  during  the  past 
decade,  there  is  still  opportunity  for  further  popular- 
izing this  branch  of  outdoor  sport  to  a  remarkable 
degree.  Thousands  of  gun  clubs  are  now  in  existence 
where  only  a  few  hundred  clubs  existed  twenty  years 
ago,  but  with  the  proper  spirit  of  progressiveness  in 
the  sport  in  every  section  of  the  country  doubtless 
the  number  of  gun  clubs  in  the  United  States  could 
be  readily  doubled.  Much  of  the  present  populariy 
of  shooting  at  the  traps  is  due  also  to  the  work  of 
the  Interstate  Association,  and  the  well  directed 
efforts   of   trade   representatives. 

The  great  necessity  at  the  present  time  is  to  stimu- 
late and  retain  the  active  interest  of  the  inexper- 
ienced shooters,  those  who  can  never  hope  under  equal 
conditions  to  share  in  division  of  prize  money.  This 
is  a  phase  of  the  sport  recognized  in  a  practical  way 
by  the  majority  of  trade  representatives  and  by  the 
Interstate  Association,  as  the  experts  in  the  majority 
of  the  tournaments  shoot  for  targets  only,  receiving 
no  share  of  the  prize  money  except  in  general  aver- 
ages. Of  course,  many  who  shoot  at  the  traps  belong 
to  that  class  known  as  "cheerful  contributors."  They 
shoot  purely  for  sport,  and  they  have  no  expectation 
of  winning  prize  money,  but  as  a  matter  of  fairness 
and  for  the  purpose  of  retaining  the  co-operation  of 
this  very  desirable  class  of  gentlemen  sportsmen 
there  should  be  such  provision  made  when  the  club 
engages  in  sweepstake  shooting  that  this  is  optional, 
so  that  the  burden  of  expense  falls  upon  those  who 
have  a  reasonable  fair  chance  of  sharing  in  the  purses. 
The  system  of  handicaps  can  to  some  extent  equalize 
the  chances  of  the  poorer  shooter  as  compared  with 
the  expert,  but  no  system  yet  devised  has  fully  met 
the  expectations  of  all  classes  of  shooters.  It  is  taken 
for  granted  that  a  large  majority  of  those  who  shoot 
at  the  traps  do  so  for  love  of  the  sport,  and  not  for 
the  desire  or  expectation  of  winning  money,  there- 
fore everything  that  tends  to  stimulate  this  love  of 
recreation  for  the  sport  itself  is  to  be  highly  com- 
mended. Club  medals  and  trophies,  even  though  of 
small  value,  would  be  prized  more  highly  by  the 
amateur  shooter  than  any   prize  money. 

To  preserve  harmony  and  insure  the  co-operation 
of  oil  club  members  there  should  be  an  active  inter- 
est on  the  part  of  all,  so  that  the  work  should  not 
fall  almost  entirely  upon  the  secretary  and  one  or 
two  other  officials.  This  unequal  division  of  work 
and  time  becomes  monotonous  even  to  the  most  en- 
thusiastic, and  the  fall  of  many  small  gun  clubs  may 
be  traced  to  this  source.  In  nearly  every  large  city 
of  the  United  States  gun  clubs  exist  of  correspond- 
ingly large  membership,  but  the  great  chance  for  the 
development  of  the  sport  of  trap  shooting  is  in  the 
smaller  towns.  In  many  of  these  no  gun  clubs  exist, 
and  there  is  a  good  field  for  promoting  an  interest 
on   the   part   of   sportsmen   in    such   localities. 

Well  regulated  gun  clubs  not  only  develop  accur- 
acy of  aim  in  shooting,  but  carefulness  in  the  hand- 
ling of  guns  as  well.  In  fact,  there  could  be  no  better 
primary  school  for  the  beginner  than  the  practice  at 
the  traps.  Here  the  club  rules  compel  observance 
of  necessary  plans  of  caution,  and  when  these  are 
thoroughly  learned  the  shooter  will  never,  under  any 
circumstances,  endanger  the  life  of  any  one  by  care- 
less shooting.  Many  other  considerations  might  be 
mentioned  to  show  the  value  of  trap  shooting  as  a 
form  of  outdoor  recreatin.  For  example,  thousands 
of  men  in  cities  who  can  readily  spare  a  half  day 
each  week  to  enjoy  sport  of  this  kind,  which  may 
be  had  in  the  immediate  vicinity,  could  not  well  de- 
vote the  time  required  for  a  trip  to  distant  game 
fields,  and  hosts  of  enthusiastic  young  shooters  take 
delight  in  their  Saturday's  half  holiday,  or  as  in 
vogue  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  Sundays,  at  the  traps — 
a  healthy  form  of  diversion  at  moderate  expense. 


Practical  men  have  given  much  thought  and  care- 
ful consideration  to  the  matter  of  handicapping 
shooters  equitably  in  target  shooting.  The  system  of 
handicapping  by  fixing  the  number  of  yards  at  which 
each  contestant  shall  stand,  from  the  traps,  can  be 
made  to  equalize  the  chances  of  the  expert  and  skill- 
ful amateur  to  a  reasonable  degree,  and  many  gun 
clubs    have    adopted    this    with    general    satisfaction. 


AT   THE   TRAPS. 


The  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  shoot  at  Ingleside  to- 
morrow will  wind  up  a  successful  trap  shoot  program 
for  1905.  During  the  past  six  monthly  shoots  the 
club  members  have  received  §600  in  cash  prize  moneys. 
The  final  club  purse  tomorrow  will  be  $100 — $25  for 
each  class. 

The  club  membership  is  large  and  the  organization 
is  growing  in  popularity  with  the  shotgun  fraternity, 
indications  for  next  season  are  strong  for  an  increase 
in  members,  double  the  present  number. 

The  ownership  of  the  high  average  trophy  donated 
by  Mr.  A.  M.  Shields  will  be  determined  tomorrow. 
The  leading  contestants  are  M.  O.  Feudner  and  A.  J. 
Webb,   540   each   out   of  600.      Ed    Schultz   is   npvt   man 


up.  W.  H.  Varien.  who  has  a  hack  score  to  shoot, 
stands  a  strong  chance  to  tie  the  leaders.  At  ail 
events  the  race  will  be  one  worth  seeing. 


The  Vallejo  Gun .  Club  offers,  as  an  attraction  for 
the  attention  of  shooters  of  Napa  Valley  and  vicin- 
ity, a  big  merchandise  shoot  to  come  off  tomorrow 
at  the  Flosden  station  trap  ground.  The  Vallejoans 
are  a  jovial  and  hospital  bunch  of  sportsmen  and  it 
is  safe  to  say  that  there  will  be  a  full  complement 
of  saucer  smashers  on  the  firing  line  tomorrow. 


A  small,  but  select,  assembly  of  shooters  on  the 
Watsonville  Rod  and  Gun  Club  grounds  on  the  20th 
inst.  kept  the  traps  going  for  a  while. 

Among  those  who  shot  in  two  20 -target  events 
were:  W.  H.  Varien,  Pacific  Grove,  16-20;  H.  M. 
Greene,  Pacific  Grove.  15-16;  "Pop"  Can*.  Pacific 
Grove,  17-1S;  Dr.  A.  M.  Barker.  San  Jose.  20-17; 
Mr.  Gammond,  Pacific  Grove,  17-16,  and  Tom  Work. 
Pacific  Grove,  16-1*. 


The  Petaluma  Blue  Rock  Club  held  the  third  and 
final  prize  shoot  on  the  20th  inst.  J.  Lopus  won  the 
gold  medal,  scoring  50  out  of  75  in  three  shoots. 
T.  Mego  won  third  prize  with  a  score  of  46. 


The    Santa    Rosa    Gun    Club    has    planned    a    big 
trophy   shoot   for   September   20. 


At  a  recent  trap  shoot  held  at  Trinidad  shooters 
from  Eureka,  Blue  Lake,  Areata  and  other  points 
participated.  The  occasion  was  the  regular  monthly 
shoot  of  the  Trinidad  Gun  Club — with  a  clam  chowder 
outing  on  the  side. 

S.  P.  Cummings  won  the  club  gold  medal,  19  out 
of    25.      The    scores    in    two    events    were: 

First  event,  25  targets — Dr.  Dungan,  14:  F.  Robin-

The  Napa  Gun  Club  shoot  on  the  20th  inst.  was 
well  attended,  the  valleio  contingent  getting  awaj 
with  the  up-valley   shooters  in   the  long  run 

The  first  event  was  the  -Charles  Reams"  Assem- 
bly Trophy  Shoot,-  with  two  bottles  of  champagne 
up  as  the  winners  end.  It  was  won  by  Mayfield ot 
Napa.  The  scores  were:  Mayfield,  22  out  of  25,  Chap- 
pel  18,  Reams  19,  O'Hara  IS,  Coe  14,  Mann  lb. 

In    the   double    shoot,    five   pairs,   the  scores  were 
Chappel   9,   Reams  6.   O'Hara  5,  Mann   5,  Mayfield  3. 
in  a  second  double  shoot,  five  pairs,  Mayfield  broke 
9.  Chappel  9,  O'Hara  8,  Coe  S,  Reams  7,  Mann  5. 

In  the  "0-target  shoot  the  scores  were:  Coe  1-, 
O-Hara  14.  Reams  15.  Mayfield  15.  In  a  IB-target 
shoot  O-Hara  got  9,  Mayfleld  9,  Reams  11.  Uel 

The  big  event  of  the  day  was  the  three-man 
team  shoot  between  Vallejo  and  Napa.  The  Napa 
team  was  composed  of  Mayfleld,  Mann  and  Reams 
and  they  scored  36.  The  Valleio  team  was  composed 
of  Ellas,  Chappel  and  O'Hara.  and  broke  33.  The 
total  scores  were:  Vallejo-34,  36  31  and  35  Napa 
made  35  29,  37  and  35,  which  concluded  the  15-target. 
team  shoots  with  honors  even.  Ten  birds  were  next 
shot  off  with  a  score  of  23  for  each  team.  Finally  a 
25-target  shoot  was  arranged  to  settle  the  event  and 
Vallejo  won  by  a  score  of  61  to  56. 

The  Millwood  Gun  Club  shoot  for  August  did  not 
have  as  large  an  attendance  of  members  as  usual. 
In  the  second  event,  R.  Van  Norden  won  for  the 
month  with  21  out  of  25  targets.  W.  Price  won  the 
third  race  after  shooting  off  a  tie  with  Collins  Si. 
and  Collins  Jr.  The  latter  shooter  was  the  winner 
of  the  freeze-out  shoot.  The  final  club  shoot  for  this 
season  will  take  place  September  24th.  The  leading 
guns  are-  Cup  race  and  continuous  break  shoot.

withstanding that  he  was  shooting  in  good  form. 

The  club  purse  of  $100  was  divided  between  Nau- 
man  and  Feudner,  who  scored  straight,  for  first  and 
second  moneys.  The  five  nineteeners  divided  th  bal-

usual,  wound  up  the  shoot.  The  scores  were  as  fol-

quartet  of  high  guns.  The  opening  shot  was  made 
by  P.  J.  Walsh,  who  scored,  he  missed  his  second  and 
seventh  birds  and  lost  the  fourteenth  dead  out.  Dr. 
Barker  of  San  Jose  also  lost  three  birds,  his  total 
score  for  the  seven  shoots  was  92;  two  more  pigeons 
would  have  put  him  tie  with  three  cup  winners. 
"Slade "  who  missed  one  shoot,  also  lost  three 
pigeons.  Nauman,  33  yards,  shot  in  old  time  form, 
and  scored  a  straight  string;  this  gave  him  a  total 
of  94  birds  and  put  him  in  the  cup  winning  squad. 
Ed  Donohoe,  33  yards,  who  has  been  shooting  con- 
sistently and  well  all  the  year,  lost  his  seventh  pigeon, 
but  at  that  his  total  of  95  placed  him  club  high  gun 
for  1905,  a  position  won  by  hard  work  and  skillful 
shooting.  Dr.  McConnell,  who  had  lost  seven  birds 
in  the  prior  shoots,  failed  to  connect  with  four  birds, 
but  was  out  of  the  prize  contest  even  had  he  scored 
clean.  Clarence  Haight  lost  but  one  bird,  the  sixth, 
and  shot  a  strong  gait  throughout  the  day,  winding 
up  with  92  kills  to  his  credit,  a  loss  of  five  birds 
early  in  the  season  was  the  handicap  that  he  could 
not   overcome. 

W.  J.  Golcher  also  failed  to  connect  with  No.  7 
pigeon,  a  bird  hard  hit.  but  strong  enough  to  pack 
away  plenty  of  lead.  His  season's  total  of  94  entitled 
him  to  a  cup,  however,  tieing  Feudner  and  Nauman 
for  the  Berles— a  fact  which  proves  that  he  has  been 
a  good  performer  this  season.  M.  O.  Feudner,  with 
a  straight  of  20  clean  kills,  landed  111  the  cup  win- 
ners' class.  He  has  been  shooting  in  great  fettle 
recently,  at  both  live  birds  and  blue  rocks. 

B.  Klevesahl's  eighth  and  fifteenth  pigeons  were 
unlucky  and   the  score  en    hills  just  landed 

him  In  the  93  hole,  a  peg  below  the  eup  look-in.  Ed. 
Schultz  found  his  twelfth  pigeon  a  lost  bird  ami.  al- 
though shooting  in  good  shape,  could  not  score 
straight.  Losses  of  pigeons  early  in  the  season  put 
his  gun  out  of  the  trophy  hunters'  squad.  Frank 
Turner,  a  comparatively  new  shooter  at  pigeons,  al- 
though missing  No.  ,3  shot  himself  Into  the  club 
purse  division  with  the  19  men.  Billy  Murdock's 
gun  has  had  "glass  arm"  evidently,  for  his  score  of 
18  and  total  of  89  is  hardly  up  to  his  average  of  past 
years.     A.    M.    Shields    at   31   yards    had    to    contend

The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  reunion  at  Reclamation  sta- 
tion last  Sunday  was  attended  by  over  100  outing 
seekers.  Live  bird  shooting  was  the  trap  diversion 
and  a  number  of  twelve-bird  contests  were  shot  up. 
The  entrance  was  nominal,  the  purses  were  cut  up 
into  three  moneys  for  high  guns.  The  winners  were: 
H.  Klevesahl,  R.  Haas,  E.  Holling.  Lee  Harpham,  E. 
Gamble,  D.  W.  Harvey,  E.  L.  Forster,  C.  Ashlin, 
"Wilson"  and  L.  Cuneo.  Geo.  Sylvester  and  J.  Doss 
divided  in  the  first  miss  and  out,  and  "Wilson"  took 
the  money  in  the  two  final  freeze-outs. 

Edgar  L.  Forster  managed  the  outing;  shooters  and 
visitors,  ladies  and  their  escorts,  and  all  were  royal- 
ly entertained,  the  trip  being  fully  up  to  the  Lincoln's 
style  of  doing  things  in  good  form.  The  scores  shot

The  Empire  program  for  the  9th  and  10th  is  a 
"come  one,  come  all"  proposition.  Six  events  are 
scheduled  for  each  day — including  two  big  and  two 
smaller  merchandise  prize  events.  A  mention  of  the 
long  array  of  articles  secured  for  prize  distribution 
would  look  like  the  inventory  of  a  wholesale  general 
store.  This  shoot  will  no  doubt  draw  a  large  gath- 
ering of  shooters. 


Salmon    in    Raccoon   Straits. 

The  present  run  of  salmon  has  enabled  a  number 
of  anglers  to  enjoy  rare  sport  trolling  Raccoon  straits 
and  vicinity.  Not  only  have  the  bay  anglers  taken  a 
number  of  fine  fish,  but  adventurous  anglers  have 
gone  outside  the  "heads"  in  power  launches  and 
tackled  Prof.  Quinnat  in  the  waters  of  the  Pacific. 
Who  knows  but  by  dint  of  persevering  in  prospecting 
the  outside  water,  that  fishing  on- par  with  the  sport 
in  Monterey  bay  and  Santa  Barbara  channel  may 
be  duplicated.  There  are  not  a  few  anglers  who 
have  long  contended  that  the  game  is  outside  await- 
ing development.  The  small  number  of  sportsmen 
who  do  fish  outside  the  Golden  Gate  rarely  return 
empty  handed  and  are  persistent  in  reiterating  stories 
of  the  splendid  sport  to  be  had  outside. 

Billy  Mersfelder  and  a  party  landed  six  fine  salmon 
outside  on  last  Sunday.  Two  other  fish  were  taken 
by    fishers    off    Sausalito. 

Between  Belvedere  Point  and  Bluff  Point,  off  Tib- 
uron,  a  number  of  fish  have  been  taken  within  the 
past  ten  days.  Members  of  the  Pacific  Striped  Bass 
Club  accounted  for  a  dozen  fish.  A  salmon  caught 
last  Sunday  off  Belvedere  Point  is  said  to  be  have 
turned  the  scale  at  35  pounds,  a  pretty  good  fish 
that. 

Charles  Kewell  and  Sam  Wells  had  a  try  after 
salmon  on  Wednesday,  but  were  unsuccessful.  Mr. 
Ammet,  a  local  angler,  caught  a  12-pounder  on  Sun- 
day. Mr.  Paynter,  who  went  out  early  this  week  with 
Capt.  Ehrke,  hooked  eleven  fish,  one  weighing  23 
pounds. 

Tomorrow  there  will  be  a  large  fleet  of  trolling 
boats  out.  The  fish  have  been  taken  with  both  sar- 
dine baits  and  trolling  spoons,  the  sardine,  it  is 
claimed,  being  the  better  lure.  A  number  of  salmon 
trailers  have  been  "cleaned  out"  by  salmon  hooked 
in   the   straits. 


Striped    Bass    Notes. 

The  thoughts  of  the  striped  bass  fishers  are  directed 
to  Russian  river  near  Duncan's,  these  days,  for  sev- 
eral large  bass  have  been  taken  out  of  the  river 
during  the  past  two  weeks.  L.  Boutelier,  of  this  city, 
it  seems,  is  the  lucky  angler.  Early  last  week  a 
26-pound  bass  was  caught  in  the  river,  but  this  week 
Boutelier  landed  the  Coast  record  rod  and  line  striped 
bass — a  fine  fish  that  weighed  45  pounds.  Early 
this  year  he  caught  a  bass,  in  Russian  river,  that 
weighed  3S  pounds  cleaned;  thus  twice  in  one  year 
beating  the  record  of  the  late  Fred  H.  Bushnell,  that 
of  a  29-pounder,  taken  in  San  Antone  slough  three 
or  four  years  ago. 

The  lure  for  striped  bass  in  Russian  river  is  a 
live  minnow  and  the  big  fish  have  been  found  prin- 
cipally in  the  well  known  pool  near  Freeze-out  creek. 

San  Antone  slough  was  visited  by  a  large  number 
of  bass  anglers  last  Sunday.  Most  of  the  visitors 
drew  blanks.  J.  G.  Bliss  was  high  hook  with  an 
S-pounder.  W.  S.  Kittle  caught  a  small  fish.  In  fact 
not  a  half  dozen  bass  were- taken  between  twenty-five 
fishermen. 

Striped  bass  are  in  evidence  at  Vallejo,  a  number 
having  been  caught  during  the  week  in  the  "channel." 

San  Leandro  bay  and  vicinity  is  turning  out  only 
small   bass  at  present. 

A  combination  of  clam  shells  and  a  rubber  boot 
leg  was  a  device  used  to  fool  the  slough  contingent, 
it  is  said,  by  a  fisherman  who  caught  very  small  fish 
in  San  Antone  slough  recently.  Instead  of  throwing 
back  the  little  fish,  the  fish  were  slyly  stowed  away 
in  a  rubber  boot  in  the  boat  and  a  clam  shell  tossed 
overboard  to  make  it  appear  that  the  fish  was  thrown 
back.  The  game  was  too  gauzy  for  those  who  hap- 
pened to  be  near  and  the  laugh  is  on  a  certain  local 
angler.

ick  bass  fishing  near  Sebastopol,  in  the  Big 
ion,  is  first  class.  The  fish  are  large,  game,  and

Sportsmen  who  have  looked  over  many  favorite  quail 
grounds  recently  state  that  birds  are  plentiful  and 
the  young  well  grown.  The  season  has  been  a  good 
one   for  the  birds. 

Ducks  are  exceedingly  plentiful  in  the  marsh  land 
and  tule  sections.  Teal  and  mallard  have  bred  num- 
erously this  season  and  sprig  are  seen  in  great  num- 
bers in  many  places,  particularly  on  the  "White  tract" 
of  the  Petaluma  marshes. 

Should  the  rains  hold  off  until  after  the  middle  of 
October  duck  shooting  will  be  excellent  in  the  nearby 
shooting  resorts.

Game    Laws. 

The  Union  Metallic  Cartridge  Company  has  issued 
a  digest  of  the  Game  Laws  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada,  together  with  a  list  of  some  of  the  licensed 
Guides  with  their  addresses.  Game  Laws  are  subject 
to  frequent  change  and  shooters  are  oftentimes 
caused  a  great  deal  of  inconvenience,  although  they 
are  innocent  of  any  intention  of  breaking  the  law. 

The  U.  M.  C.  Game  Laws  and  Guide  Directory  is 
a  booklet  of  convenient  size  so  as  to  be  easily  carried 
in  the  pocket.  It  may  be  obtained  free  of  charge  by

DEER    HUNTING    NOTES. 

tie  largest  buck  reported  this  season  is  the  one 
jed  by  Mr.  Phil  S.  Driver  of  Sacramento.  The 
rial  weighed  206  pounds  dressed  and  was  shot 
Klamath  Hot  Springs.  It  is  said  to  be  the 
''■  est  buck  killed  in  Klamath  county  for  many  years. 
L>untry  Club  members  have  had  some  excellent 
t  recently.  On  the  24th  inst.  Mr.  F.  W.  Van 
len  and  Mr.  Geo.  Boyd  were  out  deer  hunting, 
their  sons,  youths  in  their  teens.  Young  Van 
den  dropped  a  102-pound  buck, 
ne  day  this  week  Mr.  J.  Downey  Harvey,  accom- 
ied  by  the  Misses  Harvey  and  Miss  Crocker,  were 
deer  hunting  on  the  club  preserve.  The  young 
es  had  the  good  luck  to  jump  two  bucks,  both  of 
ch  were  bagged  by  the  unerring  rifles  used  by  the 
Dianas.  -^ 

recent  report  from  Santa  Clara  county  states: 

ronged  deer  are  many,  but  wary,  these  days,  say 

hunters   of  the   county,  who  have   spent  days  in 

stamping  grounds  of  the  valley,  some  with  excel- 

;  luck,   others  with  but  fair  and  not  a  few  with 

absence  of  good  fortune  that  is  exasperating. 

he   sport   this   year   has   been   unexpectedly   good. 

na  Prieta  has  furnished  twelve  fat  bucks.     Black 

jntain  has  yielded  seven  and  dozens  of  others  have 

dropped   on   the  headwaters    of  the   Coyote   and 

und  through  the  Santa  Cruz  mountains. 

>eer  hunters  this  season  are  more  numerous  than 

al   and   in   conesquence   many   more   monarchs   of 

forest  have  been  brought  in   than  usual.     While 

great    number    of   deer    have    been   killed    in    any 

place,    the    hunters    as    a    rule    have    met    with 

d  success  in  all  parts  of  the  county.  .  The  hunters 

m  Los  Gatos  have  got  five  in  the  vicinity  of  Alma, 

11  have  been  killed  at  Vic  Poncelet's  on  the  Llagas, 

11  by  the  sportsmen  from  Almaden,  four  at  Morgan

of  Hartley,  la.,  won  over  a  field  of  21  with  47  breaks, 
shooting  "DuPont." 


ing  Ballistite. 

R.  C.  Bartlett  won  first  amateur  average,  and  T.  J. 
Armstrong  second  amateur  average,  both  shooting 
Ballistite. 

It  was  also  a  notable  fact  that  every  contestant  at 
this  shoot  used  Ballistite  the  second  day. 

Going   Some. 

Ninety-seven  and  one-half  per  cent  for  1600  tar- 
gets is  high  class  shooting.  This  is  the  shooting  done 
by  Charles  G.  Spencer  in  a  series  of  shoots  from  July 
25th  to  August  9th.  He  made  two  scores  of  220  out 
of  225,  one  of  22S  out  of  235.  and  one  clean  score  of 
165  straight  in  this  series  of  shoots.  As  would  be 
naturally  presumed  from  this,  he  used  the  far  famed 
and  popular  Winchester  "Leader"  shells,  the  shells 
that  make  and  break  world's  records.  Mr.  Spencer 
uses  the  "Leader"  shell  exclusively  in  all  his  shoot- 
ing, both  at  the  traps  and  in  the  field. 

At  the  tournament  at  Mason  City,  Ia„  o;i  the  1st  and 
2nd  inst.,  out  of  400  targets  shot  at.  W.  D.  Stannard. 
Fred  Gilbert  and  H.  C.  Hirschy  broke  384,  383  and 
381  respectively,  and  R.  R.  Barber,  an  amateur,  broke 
37S.  winning  the  high  amateur  average  for  the  tourna- 
ment All  the  above,  of  course,  used  Winchester 
"Leader"  shells.  At  Pine  Bluff,  Ark.,  July  30th  and 
31st,  W.  H.  Joyner,  J.  D.  Proctor  and  J.  M.  Penning- 
ton won  the  three  high  amateur  averages,  all  using 
the  "Leader"  shells,  the  first  and  last  also  using  Win- 
chester "Pump"  guns.  At  the  Crockett,  Texas,  tour- 
nament F.  M.  Faurote  captured  the  high  professional 
average,  with  the  splendid  score  of  3S7'  out  of  the 
possible  400  targets,  using  a  Winchester  "Pump"  gun 
and  the  "Leader"  shells,  the  combination  he  always 
uses. 

At  the  tournament  of  the  Harvard  Gun  Club,  San 
Antonio,  Texas,  Mrs.  Ad.  Toepperwein.  the  wife  of  Ad. 
Toepperwein.  the  world's  greatest  rifle  shot  on  flying 
objects,  gave  a  demonstration  of  what  she  could  do 
with  a  Winchester  "Pump"  gun  and  the  Winchester 
"Repeater"  shells  on  "blue  rocks."  Mrs.  Toepperwein 
led  the  entire  field  and  captured  the  high  possible  215. 
Out  of  the  regular  program  events  she  broke  94  out 
of  100  and  made  a  run  of  63  straight  without  a  miss. 


iita   Ysabel,    one   at    Smith's    Creek,    two    at   Black

'he    prospects    for    fall    shooting    are    very    good. 


Ballistite   Briefs. 

The  fact  that  Ballistite  is  growing  fast  in  popularity 
and  favor  is  shown  by  the  following  popular  wins: 

At  Gridley,  Cal.,  June  10  and  11,  D.  W.  King,  Jr., 
and  "Ballistite"  tied  for  high  general  average. 

J.  H.  Hazelbush  won  high  amateur  average  at  the 
same  shoot,  and  shot  Ballisite. 

At  the  Montana  State  shoot  held  at  Bozeman,  Mont., 
June  9,  10  and  11,  C.  D.  Plank  won  high  general 
average,  breaking  259  out  of  265,  or  97. S  per  cent;  also 
a  run  of  139  consecutive  breaks.  Mr.  Plank  also  won 
first  expert  average  at  the  Northwest  Sportsmen's 
Association  shoot  at  Portland,  Ore.,  June  22,  23  and 
24,  using  Ballistite  in  all  his  shooting. 

At  the  same  shoot  J.  W.  Bradrick  won  the  Ana- 
conda Cup,  breaking  25  straight,  the  only  clean  score 
made  in  this  event.  He  also  won  third  amateur  aver- 
age.   He  shoots  Ballistite. 

At  the  shoot  of  the  Grant's  Pass  Gun  Club  at  Grant's 
Pas.i,  Ore.,  July  4  and  5,  R.  C.  Reed  won  high  gen- 
eral ?".d  expert  average,  making  93.5  per  cent,  shoot-

Mr.  A.  W.  Kirby  of  Greenville,  Ohio,  in  a  series  of 
contests,  ending  August  14,  cleaned  up  about  all  the 
prizes  in  sight,  winning  first  prize,  the  Tunter  Arms 
Co.  trophy,  and  the  Peters'  medal.  Mr.  Kirby  used 
Peters'  Ideal  shells  exclusively,  and  in  this  contest

down  below  the  point  of  sufficiency, 
but  while  the  herds  are  being  reduced, 
the  country  is  growing  and  some  day 
it  will  be  confronted  with  a  cattle 
shortage.  Neither  the  range  nor  the 
farm  is  going  out  of  the  cattle,  but 
enough  men  on  both  are  doing  so  to 
make  a  big  difference  in  a  few  years 
unless  the  tendency  is  checked.  For

portunities for  the  study  of  animal 
types  and  the  intelligent  selection  of 
the  breeding  animals  required  on  the 
farm.  Every  farmer  who  handles  stock 
must  certainly  understand  the  impor- 
tance of  owning  the  well  bred  animal, 
and  that  the  secret  of  success  in  the 
breeding  effort  is  in  the  proper  selec- 
tion and  purchase  of  breeding  stock. 
The  agricultural  fair,  as  it  is  con-

interest  of  live  stock  breeding  and  im- 
proved live  stock  interests,  offers  the 
best  advantages  for  bringing  the  buyer

At  no  other  place  and  on  no  other

ber of  animals  to  select  from.

ROYAL    STUDS     IN    SWEDEN. 


There  are  three  royal  studs  for  the 
propagation  and  improvement  of  the 
breed  of  horses  in  Sweden.  They  are 
very  ancient  establishments,  and  docu- 
ments are  in  existence  which  prove 
that  they  were  in  a  well-organized  con- 
dition as  far  back  as  1694. 

The  breeding  stud  of  Stromsholm 
consisted  some  few  years  ago,  of  forty 
brood  mares,  their  descendants  up  to 
the  age  of  three  or  four  years,  and  of 
fifty  stallions.  At  one  time  the  stud 
at  Flyinge  comprised  as  many  as  fifty 
stallions,  with  from  twenty  to  thirty 
mares,  but  it  has  been  reduced  to  a 
smaller  number  of  stallions,  and  a  cor- 
responding number  of  mares  of  good 
breed,  and  is  now  appropriated  more 
to  the  rearing  and  training  of  colts. 
The  country  around  Flyinge  is  an  un- 
interrupted plain,  and  the  most  fertile 
in  Sweden.  The  Ottenby  breeding  stud 
Is  situated  on  the  island  of  Oeland,  in 
the  Baltic,  and  the  spot  rises  little 
above  the  level  of  the  sea. 

The  Island  of  Oeland  was  formerly 
the  native  home  of  a  diminutive  race 
of  wild  horses,  very  similar  to  the 
ponies  of  the  Shetland  Isles,  and  doubt- 
less they  were  acclimatized  and 
dwarfed  descendants  of  race  of  horses 
Introduced  at  a  very  remote  period  by 
the  Goth  settlers  from  the  southern 
parts  of  the  Baltic  coasts. 

Herds  of  these  small  horses  were  still 
found  living  in  a  state  of  freedom,  as 
lately  as  the  beginning  of  the  nine- 
teenth  century,  but  with  improved 
rapacity  they  have  bpen  caught  and 
transported  to  the  mainland,  and  have 
now  almost  wholly  disappeared  from 
the  Island,  These  little  animals  are 
endowed  with  great  strength  in  com- 
parison to  their  size,  are  extremely 
spirited,  and  capable  of  enduring  great 
fatigue. 

The  administration  of  these  three 
royal  breeding  studs  has  been  fre- 
quently modified,  and  from  1809  to 
L830  the  Ottenby  stud  was  given  up. 
The  stallions,  with  the  exception  of 
kept  for  breeding  purposes  al 
thi  several  studs,  are  sent  into  the 
different  provinces  of  Sweden,  where 
they  are  stationed  as  government  stal- 
lions,   for    the    public    service.      Many 


years  ago  societies  were  formed  in 
must  of  the  provinces  of  Sweden  for 
the  special  purpose  of  improving  tht 
breed  of  horses  for  farming  and  agri- 
cultural  purposes. — Live   Stock   World.

STOCK  NOTES. 


SECURING  GOOD  LAYERS. 


While  every  farmer  should  resort  to 
the  pure  breeds  for  the  best  results, 
there  are  some  matters  pertaining  to 
the  management  of  poultry  which  the 
farmer  or  poultryman  must  personally 
attend  to,  as  he  cannot  delegate  the 
duties  to  others.  To  have  a  flock  of 
good  layers  next  year  each  of  the  pul- 
lets should  be  observed  carefully,  as  it 
is  only  by  daily  observation  of  the 
members  of  the  fiock  that  a  selection 
of  the  best  can  be  made.  The  desired 
results  are  not  always  accomplished 
in  one  year.  To  bring  a  flock  up  to  a 
high  degree  of  efficiency  depends  large- 
ly upon  the  management,  yet  one  must 
breed  for  something  better  every  year. 
The  best  pullets  should  be  the  founda- 
tion, and  with  careful  selection  every 
year  there  will  be  progress  and  im- 
provement. It  is  a  problem  to  pick 
out  the  most  suitable  breds,  as  cli- 
mate, markets  and  other  conditions 
are  factors;  but  each  farmer  can  take 
the  best  of  his  pullets  every  year,  as 
well  as  retain  any  meritorious  hens 
that  have  given  satisfactory  results. 
There  is  no  known  breed  that  satisfies 
all  farmers.  Poultrymen  and  farmers 
have  their  preferences,  experience 
teaching  each  that  the  best  breed  is 
the  one  adapted  to  his  farm.  When 
introducing  new  blood,  aim  to  secure 
stock  from  yards  that  contain  hardy 
fowls,  and  do  not  fail  to  cull  and  dis- 
pose  of  all   unpromising   stock. 


A  few  years  ago  there  was  ademand 
for  heavy  lard  hogs.  Now  the  ten- 
dency is  towards  smooth  even  hogs  of 
medium  weight  of  from  225  to  350 
pounds  of  early  maturity.  Hogs  of 
this  weight  should  be  free  from  surplus 
fat,  possess  smooth  shoulders,  well  laid 
in  with  the  line  of  the  body^  hams 
moderately  heavy,  a  firm  flesh  with 
flanks  well  dow7n  so  as  to  furnish  a 
large  development  of  belly  meat.  The 
back  should  be  of  good  length,  width 
and  smooth,  showing  an  absence  of 
large  patches  of  fat  above  the  hams. 
The  best  cuts  of  the  hog  are  taken 
from  the  back,  loin  and  sides,  hence 
the  importance  of  good  length  and 
depth  to  the  sides  are  desirable.  The 
careful  breeder  of  pure-bred  swine 
keeps  informed  on  just  such  points 
and  aims  to  produce  in  his  herd  those 
qualities  that  most  nearly  produce  the 
market  demand.  The  scrub  hog  has 
no  place  on  the  farm  and  since  the 
packer  and  his  trade. have  called  for 
a  certain  type  of  hog,  it  stands  the 
hog  raiser  well  in  hand  to  meet  the 
demand  through  careful  breeding  and 
feeding.  Medium  weight  hogs,  through 
the  demands  of  trade,  have  disposed  of 
the  old  time  500  or  more  pound  lard 
hog. 


Goat  milk,  owing  to  its  ease  of  di- 
gestion and  freedom  from  tuberculosis 
bacteria,  is  of  great  value  in  child  rear- 
ing and  in  the  treatment  of  weak 
stomachs  generally;  it  is  also  used 
largely  in  producing  the  high-priced 
cheeses  of  Italy  and  Switzerland, 
which  sell  in  this  country  for  from 
50  cents  a  pound  upward.  The  depart- 
ment of  agriculture  is  expecting  to 
import  a  small  flock  of  pure  bred  milch 
goats,  which  in  Europe  yield  a  gallon 
or  more  of  milk  a  day,  for  the  purpose 
of  crossing  them  on  a  few  thousand 
common  milch  goats  in  this  country 
which  Mr.  Thomson  says  may  be 
found  to  yield  from  a  pint  to  a  quart 
of  milk  a  day.  It  is  believed  by  the 
department  that  a  very  important  in- 
dustry has  been  thus  far  overlooked  in 
the  production  of  milch  goats.  The 
Angora  goat  is  useless  as  a  milk  pro- 
ducer. Goats  multiply  more  rapidly 
than  sheep,  the  offspring  ranging  from 
two  to  four.  Instances  are  cited  by 
Mr.  Thompson  where  the  lives  of 
sickly  babies,  eases  which  have  been 
given  up  by  physicians,  have  been 
saved   by   tlie  use  of  goats"  milk. 


Scours  are  the  bane  of  the  herdsman 
in  warm  weather.  Causes  are  princi- 
pally of  a  filthy  origin.  Keep  the 
calves'  pail  clean  all  times  and  do 
not  allow  any  milk  to  stand  in  it. 
When  the  calves  are  through  being 
fed,  clean  the  pail  and  set  it  away. 
A  handful  of  shorts  and  one  or  two  of 
oil  meal  in  the  milk  will  hasten 
growth. 


Of  course  there  is  a  good  deal  in  the 
breed  that  is  indispensible,  yet  the  feed 
and  the  care  have  an  indispensible  part 
also. 


Cows  are  so  fond  of  ensilage  that 
they  will  leave  the  best  pasture  for  it. 

When  cows  are  largely  on  pasture, 
they  need  more  salt  than  when  fed  on 
dry  feed. 

Every  paper  would  be  greatly  bene- 
fited if  its  friends  would  mention  it  to 
their  friends  and  get  a  few  subscribers 
for  it. 

In  warm  weather  there  is  a  great 
deal  of  rancid  butter  because  the  cream 
gets  over  ripe.    Churn  as  soon  as  ready. 

Vessels  in  which  milk  is  kept  should 
be  left  uncovered  while  not  in  use. 
They  should  be  thoroughly  scalded  and 
left  open  to  air. 

When  cows  are  upon  the  pasture  the 
cream  is  more  difficult  to  churn  than 
when  fed  dry  feed,  because  the  cream 
is  of  an  inferior  quality. 

Any  one  who  will  let  a  piece  of  ice 
melt  in  a  pail  and  notice  the  impurities 
will  understand  why  it  is  a  bad  prac- 
tice to  put  ice  into  milk  or  cream  to 
cool  it.  The  cream  or  milk  can  be 
cooled  more  rapidly,  and  more  cleanly, 
by  filling  tin  pans  and  placing  them  in 
the  milk  or  cream.  All  the  settlings  of 
the  ice  are  thus  kept  out  of  the  milk. 

Ground  flax  seed  added  to  skim  milk 
makes  it  a  good  feed  for  raising  calves. 
It  is  doubtful  management  to  sell  good 
heifer  calves  from  the  best  milch  cows. 
Simple  contrivances  for  keeping  milk 
and  butter  cool  are  made  by  taking 
deep  jars,  setting  them  in  dishes  of 
water,  with  water  in  them,  into  which 
cloths  reach,  from  the  top  of  the  jars. 
Capillary  action  keeps  the  cloths  wet 
and   evaporation  keeps   them   cool. 

It  does  not  sem  to  amount  to  much, 
but  if  a  cow  gives  only  one  pint  of  milk 
more  at  each  milking  than  some  other 
at  600  milkings,  it  makes  600  pints  a 
year.  In  ten  years  it  will  make  more 
than  the  difference  paid  between  a 
good  young  cow  and  one  not  quite  so 
good. 


A    SOLID    DIRT    ROAD. 

The  accounts  are  that  a  dirt  road 
built  by  Arthur  Buchanan  in  Willam- 
ette Grange  lane  is  the  best  thing  of 
the  kind  in  the  county.  The  R.  F.  D. 
carriers  talk  about  its  excellence,  and 
nobody  knows  more  about  roads  or  is 
more  interested  in  them  than  R.  F.  D. 
men.  This  road,  built  last  spring,  is 
declared  to  be  as  hard  and  smooth  as 
a  race  track,  and  to  be  a  stretch  of 
highway  that  is  worth  a  toll  to  drive 
over  it.  It  is  two  miles  in  length,  and 
in  all  parts  is  very  complete.  In  build- 
ing it,  a  layer  of  dirt  was  thrown  up 
by  the  grader  and  then  it  was  well 
rolled.  Another  layer  was  then  thrown 
up  and  roller  again  applied.  The  pro- 
cess was  kept  up  until  the  desired 
height  of  grade  was  attained,  when 
there  was  a  very  efficient  rolling,  the 
result  of  all  of  which  is  that  the  road 
is  hard  and  durable,  and  destined  when 
gravel  or  rock  is  added,  to  be  as  fine 
a  stretch  of  road  as  there  is  in  the 
county. — Corvallis    (Oregon)   Times. 


The  Germans  themselves  are  begin- 
ning to  open  their  eyes  and  view  the 
situation  in  that  country  with  regard 
to  the  home  meat  supply  in  its  true 
light.  Consul-General  Guenther,  of 
Frankfort,  Germany,  in  writing  to  the 
Department  of  Commerce  and  Labor, 
forwards  the  action  of  the  board  of 
managers  of  the  Association  of  Butch- 
ers of  Berlin  in  which  the  statement 
is  made  that  if  the  German  legislative 
body  does  not  intervene,  and  the  pro- 
visions of  the  new  customs  tariffs 
(German)  will  later  on  exert  their 
influence,  meat  will  cease  altogether 
to  be  a  food,  but  will  only  be  a  lux- 
ury in  that  country.  The  statement  is 
made  that  German  agriculture  has 
repeatedly  demonstrated  that,  in  spite 
of  contrary  assertions,  it  is  not  cap- 
able to  provide  Germany  sufficiently 
with  animals  to  be  butchered  and  rec- 
ommended that  the  frontiers  of  the 
country  be  opened  for  the  importation 
of  animals  to  be  butchered  to  all 
slaughtering  establishments  with  di- 
rect railroad  communication.  In  an- 
other report  Consul-General  Guenther 
says  that  manufacturers  of  agricul- 
tural machines  in  Germany  are  recom- 
mending that  German  duties  on  im- 
ported agricultural  machines,  espe- 
cially machines  coming  from  the 
United  States,  be  advanced. 


Cows  in  milk  will  not  do  well  unless 
they  are  fed,  watered  and  salted  reg- 
ularly, nor  is  the  milk  of  so  good  a 
quality.  Irregularity  occurs  upon  spe- 
cial occasions,  and  are  exceedingly 
difficult  to  manage.  Still  it  should  be 
done.

The   money   in    pigs   is   very   lar| 
made  between  the  time  the  sow  is  t 
and  the  pigs  are  six  weeks  old.    If 
sow    receives    the    right    kind   ofj 
and   feed,   and   enough   of   it,   she 
farrow  strong,  thrifty  pigs.     They  i 
especial  care  during  the  first  six  we

milk    they    are    likely    to    get    thu 
and  die  off  in  short  order.     If  the 
is    not   kept   clean   they   are   likelj 
get    sore    mouth    or    catarrh.      If 
properly  fed  they  are  likely  to  bee 
stunted.     Give  the  pigs  the  right  1 
of  a  start  up  to  six  weeks  of  age 
they  will  take  very  good  care  of  th 
selves  for  the  next  six  months  if 
leave  enough  feed  lying  around  w 
they  can  get  at  it.     They  need  bab 
for  the   first   six  weeks.     Don't  gi 
the  field  in  the  morning  until  you  1 
looked    after    the    pigs,    and    come 
early    enough    in    the    evening   to 
every  one  of  them.     They  will  pajW

JREEDERS    AT    THE    FAIRS. 


■-.  B.  Edmonson,  a  Texas  swine 
3tJder,  recently  read  a  paper  before 
h<  Farmers'  Congress  in  which  his 
/fcU  in  regard  to  exhibiting  at  fairs 
J|  set  forth  as  follows: 

Jtould  breeders  exhibit  at  the  fairs? 
■  ould  answer  yes,  and  will  give  a 
M  reasons  why  I  do  so.  The  fairs 
Lr«  educational  institutions,  from  the 
•Ol'ty  to  the  great  State  and  inter- 
lajonal  fairs.  The  county  fairs  all 
■jf  the  country  correspond  to  the 
;b|ity  and  city  schools,  and  the  State 
m|  international  to  the  colleges,  that 
is  i  giving  object  lessons,  and  there- 
Ell  giving  a  chance  for  a  greater  num- 
dg  of  people  to  get  information  than 
in  ny  other  line  of  education,  and  are 
ft  ructive  to  every  one  that  attends, 
I  ther  they  be  exhibitors  or  visitors. 
Lit  example,  one  of  my  neighbors  told 
n  not  long  since  that  he  used  to  think 
tl.  the  advertising  pictures  of  stock 
le  overdrawn,  but  since  he  had  vis- 
:  {  the  Fort  Worth  Fat  Stock  show 
;  said  the  pictures  did  not  give  the 
I     animal  justice. 

think  It  the  duty  of  every  breeder 
:  has  the  interest  of  his  county,  his 
)W  breeder  and  himself  at  heart,  to 
yibit   his   stock,   and   we   owe   some- 
;  ig    to    the    fair    association.      They 
:e  offered  liberal  premiums  and  we 
raid   show   our   appreciation    by   ex- 
ting  our   stock  and   therefore   help 
tx  ill  the  great  program,  of  which  the 
51  stock  is  no  small  part,  especially 
tl)  swine  department. 

'he  breeder  is  benefited  in  many 
Mfs.  It  is  one  of  the  greatest  adver- 
timents  that  there  is  and  to  exhibit 
a, .inning  herd  is  still  greater.  Every 
B..'spaper  wants  to  publish  the  win- 
pig  ones  and  so  there  is  more  adver- 
ting. Besides  thousands  of  people 
ft  t  the  fairs  to  see  the  stock  on  ex- 
feition,  and  by  having  a  good  exhibit 
yi  make  a  great  many  sales  that  you 
I  iM  not  make  by  staying  at  home, 
tl  there  are  some  people  who  won't 
bj'  until  they  see  what  they  are  buy- 
«,  and  others  that  will  see  your  stock 
at  give  you  orders  in  the  future  But 
ti  greatest  benefit  derived  by  the 
beder  is  in  showing  his  hogs  along 
w  h  other  herds,  where  he  gets  the 
biefit  of  a  disinterested  man's  judg- 
nut,  and  can  see  for  himself  where 
b  hogs  are  weak  and  where  they  are 
8  mg,  and  go  to  work  to  remedy  the 
fleets  before  another  show  comes  off. 
k  breeder  remarked  to  me  once,  after 
h  had  seen  the  hogs  passed  on  for 
t  first  time  that  he  had  learned  more 
fc 1  day  about  what  it  took  to  make 
a  how  hog  than  he  had  learned  since 
h' had  been  in  the  business.  And  we 
I<rn  something  every  time  we  exhibit. 
1*  breeders  are  benefited  financially 
al  intellectually;  the  fair  associations 
B.  benefited  by  the  breeders  exhibit- 
ii,  making  the  live  stock  department 
©the  great  college  a  success,  and  thus 
t  breeder  becomes  a  teacher,  and 
■ids  a  helping  hand  in  the  upbuilding 
wthe  country  and  shows  what  can  be 
d  le  in  the  way  of  improvement  in 
sine.  So  I  think  that  every  breeder 
;  vl  agree  with  me  that  to  a  certain 
eent  it  is  a  duty  as  well  as  a  pleasure 
i  ff  him  to  exhibit  at  the  fairs. 


SELECTING  FEEDER  CATTLE. 


uying  and  feeding  cattle  is  a  busi- 
s  of  growing  importance  on  farms, 
selecting  feeder  cattle  quality  should 
the  first  consideration.  Uniformity, 
i  and  color  is  a  valuable  factor,  be- 
ise  animals  of  one  size  do  better  to- 
her  and  color  indicates  breeding, 
iform  color  also  assists  in  making 
es,  not  only  because  it  is  pleasing 
the  eye,  but  it  conveys  to  the  buyer 
impression  that  the  feeding  opera- 
is  have  been  conducted  along  proper 
*s. 

'hriftiness  is  manifested  by  a  mel- 

pliable   skin   and   soft,    silky,    oily 

J  r.    in  choosing  a  feeder  it  is  a  good 

t  n  to  commence  with  the  head  and 

over  every  part  from   the   nose   to 

heels.    A  good  feeder,  one  that  will 

I  e  on  growth  and  fat  easily  usually 
t  1  have  a  broad   head,   the  forehead 

II  be  wide,  but  not  coarse,  the  eyes 
f  d  and  prominent,  jaw  deep  and 
I  zzle  wide. 

1^  long  narrow  head  naturally  goes 
(ha  long  leg  and  a  thin  narrow 
'  me  that  is  devoid  of  the  proper 
e  stitutional  vigor.  The  head  indi- 
[  es  the  type  of  the  animal  to  a 
\  uter  extent  than  any  other  one 
i  ture.  Nervousness  is  a  bad  indica- 
t  i  in  a  feeder  steer.  Nervousness 
i  displayed  in  the  expression  of  the 
t    and  the  carriage  of  the  head  and 

!s.  The  uneasy  actions  of  the  ani- 
1  also  indicate  nervousness.  The 
■k  of  a  good  feeder  is  rather  short 


and  deep  with  plenty  of  muscle  extend- 
ing well  back  on  the  sides  where  the 
neck  joins  the  shoulders.  The  top  line 
of  the  neck  should  show  natural  de- 
pression. Shoulders  should  be  set  well 
apart,  but  not  too  coarse  or  prominent. 
A  well-rounded  shoulder  shows  plenty 
of  muscle  with  a  broad  top.  The  back 
should  be  straight  and  even  from  the 
neck  to  the  tail,  with  a  good  breadth 
across  the  hips  and  loins.  A  hollow- 
backed  animal  seldom  is  a  good  feeder. 
The  barrel  of  a  feeder  steer  should 
be  reasonably  long,  deep  and  round. 
The  heart  girth  should  be  ample  as  this 
is  the  seat  of  an  animal's  constitution. 
The  round  barrel  indicates  a  large 
stomach  capacity.  Flat  ribbed  animals 
of  the  sun  fish  breed  are  unprofitable 
The  hind  quarters  of  a  feeder  may  be 
thin,  but  the  frame  should  indicate 
ample  room  for  broadening  out.  The 
depth  of  muscle  on  the  upper  part  of 
the  hind  leg  indicates  breeding  for  val- 
uable steaks.  The  best  beef  animals 
show  a  well  developed  round,  muscled 
well  down  towards  the  hock.  The  legs 
of  a  feeder  should  be  set  wide  enough 
apart  to  make  room  for  plenty  of  de- 
velopment. The  front  legs  of  the  cham- 
pion sweep  stakes  prize  winner  at  th<i 
live  stock  show  in  .Chicago  in  1903 
measured  eighteen  inches  between  the 
front  legs.  A  good  thick  muscular 
covering  over  all  parts  of  the  frame 
indicate  ability  to  take  on  flesh  rap- 
idly.

Carpet  wools  are  so  high  that  great 
quantities  of  them  are  now  paying  the 
seven-cent  duty  which  used  to  pay 
only  the  four-cent  duty,  because  they 
are  worth  more  than  12  cents  a  pound. 
The  advance  in  price  is  due  pretty 
much  to  the  fact  that  Russian  carpet 
wools  are  being  used  for  array  cloths 
in  that  country  and  the  supply  for 
America  is  thus  seriously  restricted. 
When  the  war  is  over  carpet  wools 
ought  to  be  easier  and  bring  less 
money.  One  result  of  the  increase  in 
price  and  consequent  higher  rate  of 
duty  has  <iaused  -the  -wool  imported  to 
be  made  cleaner  before  shipment  to 
this   country. 


The  continued  demand  for  the 
coarser  grades  of  wool  will  encourage 
the  use  of  rams  of  the  mutton  breeds 
more  extensively  the  coming  fall.  It 
should  be  remembered,  however,  that 
this  demand  for  coarse  wool  is  not  per- 
petual and  that  the  production  of  fine 
wool  is  decreasing  on  the  plains  each 
year.  The  change  of  style  in  men's 
wear  in  particular  is  in  the  direction 
of  finer  grades,  such  as  worsteds  and 
other  grades  made  from  fine  wools.  We 
venture  to  say  that  the  day  is  not  far 
distant  when  the  demand  for  fine  wools 
will  break,  out  again.  It  has  been  so 
for  4000  years  since  Jacob  was  a  sheep 
herder  himself,  and  it  will  continue 
thus  for  4000  years  more. 


Farmers  who  raise  one  foal  a  year 
should  always  bear  in  mind  that  there 
is  more  profit  in  keeping  one  choice 
brood  mare  and  mating  her  to  an  ex- 
cellent stallion  that  is  well  bred  and  a 
good  individual  than  in  a  paddock  full 
of  ordinary  mares.  The  more  common 
horses  a  farmer  raises  the  more  indif- 
ferent and  prejudiced  will  he  become 
with  the  horse  industry.  Poor  horses 
of  all  breeds  are  slow  sellers  at  prices 
that  return  no  profit  on  the  cost  of  pro- 
duction. 


Do  not  be  in  too  big  a  hurry  to  get 
the  calf  wholly  on  skim  milk.  Four 
pounds  of  milk,  three  times  daily,  is  a 
good  starter  for  the  average  calf,  but 
should  be  whole  milk.  This  can  be 
increased  according  to  the  ability  of 
the  animal  to  handle  it  to  good  ad- 
vantage. Make  the  change  from  whole 
to  skim  milk  very  gradual.  Do  not 
attempt  it  until  the  calf  is  at  least  ten 
days. 


It  is  a  good  plan  to  keep  track  of 
all  dairy  operations,  such  as  the  birth 
of  calves,  the  time  a  cow  is  dried  off, 
sales  of  butter,  milk  and  cream,  -  and 
such  items  as  these.  It  takes  just  -a 
little  time,  but  the  notes  are  interest- 
ing to  refer  to  later. 


Aerate  new  milk  as  soon  as  possible 
after  it  is  drawn,  but  do  not  do  this 
in  a  stable.  As  good  a  way  to  do  this 
as  any  is  to  pour  the  milk  slowly  from 
one  pail  to  another  for  a  few  minutes. 
This  drives  off  bad  odors  and  saves  the 
fine  butter  flavor. 


In  Holland  there  are  324  cattle  to 
every  100  acres  of  cultivated  land,  and 
the  cows  of  Holland  are  good  milkers. 
Only  good  milkers  could  be  kept  on 
land  as  high-priced  as  it  is  in  that 
country.

;in  Francisco,   Saturday,   September    o,    1905. 

THE     CALIFORNIA     STATE     FAIR,    which    closes 
day  at  Sacramento,  is  being  held  for  the  first  time 
the  splendid  new  property  acquired  by  the  State 
^ricultural  Society,  located  about  two  miles  east  of 
'i    e    capital    city.      After    a    hasty    glance    over    the 
ounds  on  the   opening  day,  we  have  no  hesitation 
saying  that  the  new  park  is  the  best  laid  out,  most 
•mmodious  and  best  appointed  fair  grounds  on  the 
astern  slope   of  the  Rocky   Mountains.     Everything 
1  new,  of  course,   and   incomplete,  as  work  was  not 
mmenced  until  June  this  year,  but  all  that  has  been 
■ne  has  been   well   done,   and   the   track,   the   barns, 
e  grand  stand,  the  show  grounds,  etc.,  have  all  been 
-    anned  and  built  in  a  manner  that  reflects  credit  on 
chitects   and    builders    alike.       The     transportation 
eilities  are  excellent,  and  with  a  few  details  to  be 
mpleted    will    be    ample    for    the    handling    of    both 
hibits  and  patrons.     California  now  has  the  oppor- 
nity  to  make  its  State  Fair  one  of  the  great  annual 
positions   of   America.     It  can   be   made    to    attract 
ithin   its   gates    every    year   ten    times    the   number 
at  have  visited  it  this  year  on  the  Gays  other  than 
e  two  legal  holidays  which  so  fortunately  occurred 
iring  the  seven  days  on  which  its  gates  were  open, 
le  Directors  labored  under  many  disadvantages  this 
•ar.   and   deserve   much   credit   for   what   they   have 
complished,  but  if  they  wish  to  make  the  California 
ate  Fair  the  exposition  which  its  founders  intended 
to  be,  they  will  have   to   divorce  themselves   from 
few    of    the    old    customs    that    have    brought    the 
ciety  into  disrepute  during  the  last  few  years.     In 
e  first   place   the   State  Fair  is   not   given   for   the 
•nefit   of  the   hotel  keepers  and  street   railroads    of 
icramento.     One  week  is   enough  for  any  fair,  and 
is  not  right  to  make  visitors   stay  in   a  town  ten 
ijs  to  see  a  six  days'   show.     The  great   States  of 
inois,  New  York  and  Ohio  find  six  days  ample  for 
1  exhibition  of  their  products.     Opening  the  Califor- 
a  State  Fair  on  Saturday  this  year  was  a  mistake, 
undreds  of  people  who  would  have  enjoyed  seeing 
'  e  Occident    Stake   trotted,   -the   richest   stake   event 
-    r  trotting  colts  in  the  West,  stayed  at  home  because 
.    ey  did  not  care  to   spend   Sunday  and  Monday  in 
1    icramento,  or  else  be  compelled  to  go  home  Sunday 
arning   and   return   to    that   city    Tuesday   morning, 
onday  was  Labor  Day,   a  general  hdliday  all  over 
*    e  country.     It  would  have  been  an  opportune  time 
I    trot  the  Occiden.t  Stake,   but  the  day  was  turned 
er  to  broncho  busting  and  six  cheap  running  races, 
lose  only  excuse  for  being  on  any  program  was  that 
!  e   results    might    be    gambled    on.      Of    course    the 
tendance  on  Monday  was   large,   as   is  always   the 
se  on  a  general  holiday,  but  had  the  Saturday  pro- 
am  been   provided  for   that   day   the   gate   receipts 
>uld  have  been  twice  as  great.     Another  mistake  of 
e  Directors  is  their  blind  adherence  to  the  belief 
at  running  races  are  the  chief  end  of  State  Fairs 
d  must  be  made  the  principal  feature  of  the  daily 
cing  program.     The  owners  of  harness  horses  pay 
1    per  cent,  of  the  amount  of  each  purse  for  the  privi- 
t     ?e   of   competing   for    them,    while   the    runners   are 
,     ven  free  entrance  to  every  event.    It  would  be  better 
treat  all  alike.    Make  the  owners  of  running  horses 
|l|  y  5   per  cent,    and   make   the   purses   larger.     This 
,     mid  reduce   the   number  of   running   events   but   it 
'     mid  improve  the  quality  of  the  fields.     These  criti- 
'     ;ms  are  spoken   in   the   most  friendly  spirit.     It   is 
!  r  desire  to  see  the  California  State  Fair  made  one 
the   great  institutions   of  the  West  and   it  can  be 
:i     ide  so  by  catering  to  the  farmers,  mechanics  and 
lilders   of   this    commonwealth.      The   idea"!    for   the 
ir  must  be  set   higher;    there   must  he  a  supreme 
:ort  to  interest  the   breeders  and  producers   of  the 
ate.    Tt  is  time  to  discard  the  syndicate  bookmaking 


feature  that  has  been  the  curse  of  former  fairs.  It 
is  time  to  introduce  the  latest  and  most  approved 
methods  by  which  the  breeders  qf  live  stock,  the 
growers  of  fruit  and  grain,  the  inventors  and  build- 
ers of  machinery,  and  the  workers  in  all  the  fields  of 
labor,  art  and  science,  can  be  induced  to  send  the 
results  of  the  work  of  their  hands  and  brains  to 
Sacramento  once  a  year  for  the  enlightenment  and 
instruction  of  the  youth  of  the  State,  as  well  as  all 
those  who  are  striving  to  build  homes  in  California 
and  establish  enterprises  that  will  be  taken  care  of 
and  carried  on  by  future  generations.  There  is  a 
great  future  for  the  California  State  Fair,  but  it  will 
require  the  best  thought  and  effort  of  its  Board  of 
Directors   to   develop   it. 


THE  DEATH  OF  SADIE  MAC,  the  great  race  mare, 
was  a  deplorable  incident  of  the  Hartford  meeting  this 
week.  It  seems  strange  that  the  trainer  and  care- 
takers of  such  an  animal  should  be  so  deceived  in  her 
condition  as  to  start  her  in  a  race  when  she  was  ill, 
and  it  seems  more  strange  that  after  she  had  strug- 
gled through  .three  heats  they  should  still  have  been 
ignorant  of  the  illness  that  caused  her  death  in  the 
fourth  heat.  Sadie  Mac  was  one  of  the  handsomest, 
best  dispositioned  and  fleetest  trotters  ever  bred.  She 
never  lost  but  one  previous  race  in  her  whole  career, 
and  that  was  at  Cleveland  last  season,  where  Aerolite 
was  given  the  verdict  over  her  for  the  gold  chal- 
lenge cup  at  the  Intev-City  matinee,  although  many 
present  were  certain  Sadie  Mac  had  won.  As  a 
three-year-old  she  won  both  the  Kentucky  and  the 
Hartford  futurities,  and  two  other  three-year-old 
purses,  closing  the  season  with  a  record  of  2:11%. 
As  a  four-year-old  she  beat  Louise  Mac  and  Prince 
of  Orange  at  the  Pittsburg  matinee  in  2:  iis1,^  and 
2:09.  This  year  she  swept  through  the  Grand  Circuit 
winning  everything,  and  reducing  her  record  to 
2.06^4.  The  sum  of  $30,000  had  been  offered  for  her 
and  refused,  her  owner,  Miss  Walk,  prizing  her  be- 
yond any  money  value.  Sadie  Mac  was  bred  by  the 
late  J.  Malcomb  Forbes  of  Boston,  and  foaled  in  1900. 
Her  sire  was  the  great  colt  trotter,  Peter  the  Great 
2:07%.  son  of  Pilot  Medium  and  Santos  by  Sentinel. 
Her  dam  was  the  great  brood  mare  Fanella  2:13  by 
the  greatest  of  all  colt  trotters,  Arion  2:07%  by  Elec- 
tioneer. Her  second  dam  was  Directress,  t>y  Director 
2:17,  her  third  dam  Aloha,  dam  of  three  in  the  list 
by  A.  W.  Richmond,  and  her  fourth  dam  Guadalupe 
by  Crichton.  The  death  of  such  a  mare  as  Sadie  Mac- 
is  a  distinct  loss  to  the  breeding  industry.  There 
was  no  better  bred  one.  She  was  bred  for  a  fast 
trotter  and  was  one.  She  had  speed  enough  to  have 
lowered  her  mark  to  2:03  or  better,  and  coming  from 
a  continuous  line  of  great  brood  mares  would  have 
been  invaluable  in  the  stud. 

WOODLAND'S  MEETING  has  been  declared  off. 
The  list  of  entries  received  was  so  small  that  Man- 
ager Chas.  Spencer  decided  it  were  better  to  have  no 
meeting  at  all  this  year  than  one  in  which  only  two 
or  three  horses  would  compete  in  every  race,  so  he 
very  wisely  notified  the  horsemen  that  the  meeting 
was  off.  Woodland  has  never  yet  given  anything  but 
a  first  class  meeting  and  it  is  not  proposed  to  lower 
the  standard  or  disappoint  the  Yolo  county  people  who 
so  generously  patronize  harness  racing  held  at  the 
Woodland  Stock  Farm  track.  Next  year  Mr.  Spencer 
says  Woodland  will  be  in  the  circuit  and  the  an- 
nouncement made  and  program  published  early  in 
the  year.  Several  other  associations  are  making  the 
same  promise.  The  chances  are  that  the  California 
harness  racing  circuit  of  1906  will  be  worth  while,  as 
the  horsemen  of  every  town  in  the  State  where  a 
track  is  located  are  determined  that  meetings  shall  be 
given  at  all  of  them  next  season.  They  are  just 
beginning  to  wake  up  and  realize  that  a  circuit  can 
be  held  in  California  every  year  that  will  be  second 
to  no  other  circuit  in  the  United  States  except  the 
Grand  Circuit. 

A  SUGGESTION  comes  from  the  Chicago  "Tribune" 
in  regard  to  the  manner  in  which  the  daily  press  of 
the  country  reports  racing,  and  as  it  follows  lines 
that  have  for  years  been  put  forth  in  the  columns 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  we  give  it  space  here: 
"Some  of  the  New  York  race  track  writers  are  doing 
the  sport  no  good  by  their  manner  of  handling  reports 
oj  races.  These  correspondents  seem  t<>  have  the  idea 
that  the  betting  end  is  quite  the  overshadowing 
feature  and  that  a  majority  of  readers  of  track  news 
care  primarily  for  accounts  of  this  incidental  to  the 
day's  doings.  Their  judgment  may  be  correct,  as  they 
continue  to  hold  their  jobs,  but  if  the  betting  is. 
after  all,  of  more  concern  to  those  who  read  racing 
news  than  the  interests  on  the  tracks  and  the  doings 
of   owners   and   trainers,   then   the   sport   it   not  what 


has  been  claimed  for  it  by  many.  If  this  is  a  correct 
estimate  of  the  character  of  the  public  which  sup- 
ports racing  about  the  metropolis  the  sooner  a  State's 
Attorney  Healy  appears  in  New  York  the  better  it 
will  be.  There  is  undoubtedly  a  good  sized  element 
in  every  racing  community  which  sees  nothing  to 
interest  it  in  the  'sport'  but  the  gambling  feature. 
It  has  little  sentiment  for  horses  or  for  a  royal  con- 
test among  the  four-legged  animals  which  themselves 
love  so  well  the  sport  to  which  they  are  bred.  These 
people  bore  you  with  tales  of  their  winnings  and  pos- 
sibly their  losings,  but  the  thrilling  points  in  a  race 
seldom  make  an  impression  upon  them.  Yet  there 
is  a  more  intelligent,  a  more  sportsmanlike  element, 
which,  while  it  would  find  racing  stupid  enough  with- 
any  opportunity  to  back  its  own  judgment  on  the 
track,  finds  the  sport  a  fascinating  one  for  reasons 
that  are  largely  sentimental,  the  mercenary  considera- 
tion to  a  race  being  merely  like  a  bit  of  sauce  on  the 
side.  These  persons  are  fond  of  racing  for  the  sport 
it  affords  and  not  because  they  regard  it  as  a  medium 
of  making  money,  for  an  intelligent  man  knows  it 
is  not,  however  much  he  may  be  willing  to  "keep  a 
little  ahead  of  the  game'  the  while  he  is  having  his 
outing.  This  class  of  patrons  care  little  for  the  news 
of  the  plungers  and  less  about  the  bookmakers.  It 
is,  therefore,  merely  a  question  of  proportion.  Who 
is  supporting  racing  about  New  York?  Is  it,  in  the 
main,  a  sport  seeking  colony,  or  is  it  merely  a  set  of 
people  whose  tastes  are  on  a  par  with  crap  shooters? 
And,  in  the  meantime,  what  will  the  disinterested 
public,  which  watches  all  classes  of  news  in  the  daily 
journals,  think  if  it  continues  to  be  regaled  daily 
wilh  little  more  than  accounts  of  the  success  or 
slaughter  of  'favorites,'  the  troubles  of  the  book- 
makers, and  the  triumphs  of  the  plungers?  Who  was 
it    that   once  called  it  the  sport   of  kings'."'

v.     The  barns  for  the  draft  horses, 

:  ml  beef  cattle,  sheds  for  sheep,  hogs,  etc.,  are 

as  complete  as  they  can  be  made  and  offer  a  strange 

l   contrast  to  the  old  tumbledown  shacks 

s   have  been   showing  in  during  the  past 

1      years  at  the  old  grounds. 

The    new    grand    stand,    while    called    a    temporary 

affair,    is    the   best  arranged  in   California.     There   is 

not  a   seat  in  it.  from  the  lower  to  the  top  row,  but 

affords  a  view  of  every  foot  of  the  magnificent  track, 

and   every   occupant   thereof  since   the   State  Fair   of 

1905  opened  has  spoken  in  praise  of  the  architect  that 

designed   it  and  the  Board  of  Directors  under  whose 

management  it  was  built. 

The  horse  barns  are  complete  in  every  detail,  with 
large  roomy  box  stalls  all  ventilated  in  the  most  ap- 
proved manner.  There  is  plenty  of  room  for  the 
cattle  and  they  are  a  feature  of  this  year's  fair.  The 
grounds  being  entirely  new  are  not  shaded,  of  course, 
but  a  tree  planting  enterprise  has  already  been  started 
with  Mrs.  Burke,  wife  of  Director  Frank  H.  Burke  as 
the  leading  spirit,  and  it  is  proposed  to  have  the 
grounds  planted  with  fast  growing  trees  that  will 
give  shade  and  beauty  to  the  place. 

The  track  is  laid  out  as  perfectly  as  the  surveyor 
and  graders  could  make  it.  The  work  was  all  done 
under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  A.  M.  Allen,  the  greatest 
track  builder  in  America,  and  it  is  his  last  and  his 
best  work.  One  winter's  rain  is  all  it  needs  to  make 
it  the  fastest  track  on  the  Coast.  In  spite  of  the 
fact  that  it  has  not  had  enough  water  owing  to  the 
delay  in  getting  the  ground  piped,  a  heat  was  paced 
un  it  the  first  day  in  2:10  and  a  three-year-old  trotted 
a  fourth  heat  over  it  in  2:15%. 

On  the  opening  day  probably  two  thousand  people 
were  present.  It  was  a  larger  crowd  than  usual  for 
the  first  day  of  the  fair,  and  the  directors  were  pleased. 
In  the  .-judges'  stand  Directors  Geo.  W.  Kingsbury,  and 
Frank  H.  Burke  sat  as  judges  of  the  harness  events, 
with  Kd  R.  Smith  of  Los  Angeles  as  starter  and  Geo. 
i:    Kelley  as   clerk  of  the  course. 

S&  n  in  v  Albert  Lindley  was  ubiquitous.  Although 
it  was  his  first  fair  he  was  much  better  than  a  raw 
hand,  and  with  a  year's  experience  will  make  as  effi- 
cient a  secretary  as  the  society  ever  had.  He  is 
painstaking,  level  headed,  affable,  has  excellent  execu- 
tive ability  and  is  greatly  interested  in  the  success  of 
of  the  organization.  It  is  his  aim  to  put  the  Califor- 
nia State  Fair  on  a  high  plane  and  to  make  it  what 
it  was  intended,  a  great  annual  exposition  of  the 
State's  products  and  progress.  He  seems  to  be  the 
right  man  in  the  right  place. 

The    Races. 

When    the   bell   was   rung  to  announce  the  opening 

of   the   racing  program,   the   first   to   appear  was   the 

well  known  trainer.  H.  S.  Hogoboom,  -who  was  sitting 

behind  the  pacing  mare  Daisy  E.  by  Richards  Elector, 

■  lam  a  Waldstein  mare.  Daisy  E.  is  owned  by  Mr. 
Geo.  Cressy  of  Sacramento,  and  Mr.  Hogoboom 
started  her  for  a  record.  She  paced  a  nice  mile  in 
2:22,  the  first  official  time  made  on  the  new  track. 

The  bell   was   rung  again,   this  time  for  the  three- 

■  i -"Id  trotters  that  were  to  compete  for  the  rich 
i  'CCldent  Stake,  which  had  a  total  value  of  $3885. 
divided  Into  three  moneys — 60,  30  and  in  per  cent. 
Starting  paymenl  had  been  made  upon  nine  of  the 
original  entries,  but  only  four  appeared  to  race  for 
the    money.      North    star,   the   tall,   big-striding  Nut- 

■  ""I    Wilkes    gelding,    was    favorite    on    the    strength 
of  his  great   rai  e  al   Santa  Rosa  just  two  weeks  prev- 
ious   wheri    hi     won  in  straight  heats  and  trotted  two 
■     m    in   2:13%.     Bellemont,  the  fast  Zombro  filly, 
econd   choice   and   Princess  Louise,  daughter  of 


Coronado,  was  next  in  favor,  with  Sir,  Carlton,  a 
handsome  and  nice  moving  son  of  Nutwood  "Wilkes, 
but  little  thought  of  as  a  factor  in  the  race,  although 
in  any  previous  year  he  might  have  been  picked  to 
win.  When  the  scoring  began  North  Star  did  not 
seem  to  be  trotting  squarely  and  it  was  whispered 
that  he  was  not  iu  proper  shape,  while  it  was  known 
that  his  driver,  Charles  Whitehead,  was  anything  but 
well  and  had  tried  to  get  a  substitute  to  drive  the 
colt  during  the  race.  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson  of  Salinas, 
breeder  and  owner  of  North  Star,  was  confident  how- 
ever that  his  colt's  great  speed  and  gameness  would 
land  him  winner  of  first  money  and  his  confidence  was 
not  misplaced.  On  getting  the  word  the  first  time 
Princess  Louise  went  right  to  the  front  and  was  not 
headed  during  the  mile.  North  Star  broke  twice  dur- 
ing the  heat,  the  second  time  indulging  in  a  long  run, 
although  he  seemed  to  lose  greatly  by  it.  In  the  race 
to  the  wire  Princess  Louise  kept  the  lead  and  Durfee 
drove  to  beat  North  Star,  but  the  Nutwood  Wilkes 
gelding  beat  her  out  by  nearly  a  length.  The  heat 
went  to  Princess  Louise,  Bellemont  being  placed  sec- 
ond, Sir  Carlton  third  and  North  Star  set  back  to  last 
place  for  running,  greatly  to  .the  surprise  of  the  spec- 
tators.    The  time  was  2:20. 


winnings  amounted  to  $2491  first  money  and  $34S.5> 
third  money,  or  a  total  of  $2839.50,  which,  added  ti 
the  $1750  won  by  him  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity 
makes  his  total  winnings  on  the  two  races  $4589, 50 
Mr.  Iverson  received  the  congratulations  of  a  largi, 
number  of  friends,  and  Trainer  Charles  Whitehea< 
came  in  for  much  praise  for  his  handling  of  the  colt 
Bellemont  proved  herself  a  fast,  game  and  consisten 
filly. 

The  2:09  class  pace  had  a  field  of  eight  starters 
While  there  was  a  bunch  of  fast  sidewheelers  in  thii 
event,  Mr.  A.  Ottinger's  good  stallion  Daedalion  haii 
an  easy  race  of  it  and  won  three  straight  heats  jusi 
swinging,  H.  Ward,  his  driver,  easing  him  up  at  thd    >"'■ 


Scoring,  Second  Heat,  in  Occident  Stake 

An  excellent  start  was  given  in  the  second  heat  and 
Bellemont  went  to  the  front,  but  Princess  Louise  had 
the  speed  to  take  the  lead  and  keep  it  up  the  back 
stretch.  Here  Bellemont  passed  her  and  in  a  drive 
home,  in  which  North  Star  broke  and  then,  regaining 
his  feet,  showed  his  wonderful  speed,  they  made  a 
grand  race  to  the  wire.  Bellemont  won  by  a  neck  in 
2:17%,  a  new  record  for  her  and  a  very  fast  mile  for 
the  track  which  was  surely  four  seconds  slow. 

Bellemont  now  ruled  favorite,  and  it  was  thought 
she  would  finish  the  race  in  the  next  two  heats.  She 
won  the  third  heat  in  2:18%,  North  Star  making  a 
disastrous  break. 

In  the  fourth  heat  North  Star  was  a  little  steadier. 
Whitehead  took  him  back  a  little  at  the  start  and 
Durfee  drove  Bellemont  in  the  lead.  In  the  stretch 
the  struggle  for  first  money  began  in  earnest.  North 
Star's  speed  began  to  tell  and  he  gradually  gained 
on  the  little  mare,  coming  on  even  terms  with  her 
about  150  yards  from  the  wire  and  beating  her  to 
the  judges  by  a  half  length  in  2:15%.  the  fastest  heat 
of  the  race  and  a  much  better  mile  than  his  2:13% 
at  Santa  Rosa.  In  this  heat  Bellemont  showed  her 
gameness,  as  she  struggled  hard  to  keep  the  lead, 
but  was  out  trotted.  In  this  heat  Princess  Loiuse  and 
Sir  Carlton  were  distanced. 

The  fifth  heat  was  a  duel  between  the  gelding  and 
the  filly.  They  trotted  in  close  company  all  the  way 
and  a  finer  exhibition  of  game  trotting  and  high-class 
driving  has  not  been  seen  on  a  California  track  for 
many  a  day.  North  Star  led  by  a  neck  at  the  quar- 
ter, at  the  half  the  positions  were  the  same,  and  at 
the  three-quarters  was  a  half  length  in  froat.  Here 
he  began  to  draw  away  and  when  he  trotted  under 
the  wire  in  2.17%  the  little  mare  was  evidently  too 
tired  to  make  a  fighting  finish. 

The  last  heat  had  several  thrills  in  it.  Bellemont 
broke  just  as  the  word  was  given,  but  after  a  few 
strides  regained  her  feet  and  shot  to  the  front  and  was 
leading  by  four  lengths  at  the  half.  In  this  heat 
Whitehead  showed  his  ability  as  a  driver  and  his 
confidence  in  North  Star  as  a  stretch  trotter.  Al- 
though Durfee  had  passed  him  and  was  in  the  lead, 
Whitehead  sat  still  and  waited  until  turning  into 
the  stretch  before  calling  on  his  colt  for  his  best 
efforts.  At  the  three-quarters  two  lengths  separated 
the  two,  and  on  entering  the  straight  they  were  neck 
and  neck.  With  that  marvelous  long  stride  which 
carries  him  over  the  ground  at  such  a  rapid  rate, 
North  Star  came  down  the  sJ  retch  at  increasing  speed 
and  crossed  the  wire  four  lengths  in  front  of  Belle- 
mont in  2:18%,  a  wonderful  mile  over  a  heavy  track 
for  the  sixth  heat  of  a  three -year-old  race. 

This  race  stamps  North  Star  as  one  of  the  greatest 
three-year-olds    seen    on    this    coast   for   years.      His 


finish  of  each  mile.  The  second  heat  was  in  2:10,  tho 
first  heat  in  that  time  to  the  credit  of  a  horse  on  thd 
new  track.  It  was  the  general  opinion  that  Daedalior 
could  have  paced  a  mile  that  day  on  a  good  traqli^ 
close  to  2:05.  He  is  a  better  horse  than  ever  in  life  cs 
life  and  Mr.  Ward  deserves  great  credit  for  th(i 
horse's  condition.  "Vision  paced  a  good  race  and  wor 
second  money,  Virginia  winning  third  aind  Kellj 
Briggs  fourth. 

While  the  2:15  trot  was  finished  in  three  heats,  al 
of  which  were  won  by  Charlie  T.,  it  was  a  horse  race  ■ 
In  the  betting  Adam  G.  and  Charlie  T.  divided  fav- 
oritism. Cuate,  Wild  Bell  and  Lady  Jones  being  ir 
the  field.  In  the  first  heat  Charlie  T.  took  the  lead 
Zibbell  lying  second  two  lengths  back  with  the  Mc- 
Kinney  gelding  until  the  far  turn  was  reached  wher 
a  race  began  between  the  two.  They  were  head  am' 
head  down  the  stretch,  but  Adam  G.  went  to  a  breal 
and  Charlie  T.  crossed  the  goal  a  half  length  in  the 
lead  in  2:16%,  the  other  three  far  behind. 

In  the  second  heat  Zibbell  adopted  different  tactics 
taking  Adam  G.  right  to  the  front  and  opening  uj 
a  gap  of  three  or  four  lengths  by  the  time  the  quartei 
pole  was  reached.  He  trotted  the  second  quartei 
better  than  32  seconds  and  reached  the  half  in  1:05 
At  the  three-quarters  he  was  four  lengths  in  the  lead 
but  the  pace  told  on  him  and  he  made  a  break  froir 
which  he  did  not  recover  until  all  the  others  hac 
passed  him.  Charlie  T.  reached  the  wire  in  2:15% 
Cuate  was  second,  Lady  Jones  third,  Wild  Bell  fourth 
and  Adam  G.  fifth. 

The  third  heat  was  an  exciting  one.  Zibbell  dis 
played  the  same  tactics  as  in  the  previous  one,  anc 
took  Adam  G.  to  the  front  at  a  whirlwind  pace  as 
soon  as  the  word  was  given.  He  kept  the  lead  until 
near  the  three-quarter  pole  when  Adam  G.  broke,  bu1 
this  time  recovered  quickly.  Charlie  T.  had  assumed 
the  lead  however,  and  a  race  then  began  which  broughl 
the  crowd  to  its  feet.  Gradually  Adam  G.  gained  or 
the  leader  and  had  him  nearly  caught,  but  the  wire 
was  reached  with  Charlie  T.'s  head  in  front  and  the 
race  and  first  money  were  won.  The  time  was  2:15% 
and  the  pace  at  the  finish  so  hot  that  the  Zombrc 
gelding  broke  just  as  he  crossed  the  finish.  It  was 
a  very  close  contest.  Had  Adam  G.  been  steadier  the 
result  might  have  been  different,  as  he  seems  to  have 
two-minute  speed  when  called  upon  for  a  brush.  Al. 
McDonald  drove  a  finely  judged  race  with  Charlie 
T.      The  summaries.

September  0,  1905] 


®he  ^reeber  nut>  ^pnvt&ntan 


Monday,  being'  Labor  Day,  was  a  general  holiday 
nd  the  railroad  shops  and  nearly  all  the  big  business 
Louses  were  closed.  This  brought  a  big  crowd  to  the 
irack  and  the  directors  were  highly  pleased.  There 
jvere  races  participated  in  by  Indians  from  Nevada, 
jironcho  busting,  etc.,  in  the  forenoon,  and  a  program 
if  six  running  events  in  the  afternoon. 

Tuesday's  program  was  an  excellent  one,  three  har- 
ness events  being  on  the  card,  supplemented  with  the 
jisual  four  running  races.  The  day's  sport  opened 
vith  the  Harness  Stallion  Staie  for  three-year-old 
rotters.  There  were  five  starters — Ambush  by  Zolock, 
31  Rey  by  Nushagak,  Alto  Downs  by  Iran  Alto,  Still 
Setter  by  Iran  Alto,  and  Vallejo  Girl  by  McKinney. 
}n  his  form  shown  at  the  previous  meetings  on  the 
•ircuit  Ambush  was  made  a  prohibitive  favoirte  and 
here  was  little  betting  on  the  result.  He  won  in 
traight  heats,  with  the  Nushagak  colt  second  in  all 
hree,  and  Alto  Downs  third.  Still  Better  and  Vallejo 
Jirl  got  the  flag  in  the  first  heat.  The  total  value  of 
he  stake  was  $2024,  of  which  Ambush  won  nrst  and 
ourth  money,  or  a  total  of  $1214;  El  Rey  was  award- 
ed $506  and  Alto  Downs  $303. 

Fred  Chadbourne's  John  R.  Conway  was  made  fav- 
.rite  for  the  2:13  class  pace,  which  had  five  starters. 
iVfter  losing  the  first  heat  to  Friskarina,  the  Diablo 
Itallion  went  on  and  won  rather  handily.  Hattie 
kroner  got  third  money  and  Argyle  fourth. 

The  betting  race  of  the  day  was  the  2:12  class  trot, 
|n  which  Princess,  What  Is  It,  Jupiter  B.,  The  Cora- 
Inonwealth,  Pat  Rose,  H.  D.  B.,  and  Walter  Wilkes 
vere  the  starters.  Jupiter  B.  was  favorite  at  $20,  to 
.  .9  for  What  Is  It  and  $5  for  the  field.  It  took  fifteen 
cores  to  start  the  first  heat,  which  went  to  Princess 
in  2:15,  Jupiter  B.  second,  What  Is  It  third  and  The 
Commonwealth  fourth.  The  other  three  were  dis- 
anced. 
In  hot  finishes  What  Is  It  won  the  next  two  heats 
dnd  the  betting  switched  all  around.  Under  the  rule 
Tupiter  B.  and  The  Commonwealth  were  sent  to  the 
itable  for  not  winning  a  heat  in  three  and  Princess 
,von  handily  from  the  gray  gelding,  and  the  Salinas 
•rowd  that  had  backed  the  mare  heavily  got  all  the 
money. -The  summaries:

HARTFORD  RACES. 


HARTFORD  (Conn.),  September  o.— Sadie  Mac,  the 
avorite  in  the  Charter  Oak  Stake  race  at  Charter 
>ak  Park  to-day,  dropped  dead  in  the  stretch,  at  the 
:nish  of  the  fourth  heat  of  the  race,  after  having 
een  outfooted  in  the  three  previous  heats.  She  rup- 
ured  a  blood  vessel  of  the  lung,  according  to  the  ver- 
ict  of  a  veterinarian. 

It  was  evident  at  the  start  of  the  race  that  Sadie 
lac  was  not  in  good  form,  but  she  got  a  good  start 
■ '  l  the  fourth  heat,  and  she  led  around  the  quarter 
Jrn,  when  the  crowd  got  the  impression  that  she  had 
nally  struck  her  gait  and  was  about  to  win.  The 
ope  was  of  short  duration.  She  was  last  into  the 
tretch  and  as  the  leaders  passed  under  the  wire  she 
taggered  and  fell  dead. 

The  Zombro  mare  Zephyr  won  the  first  and  second 
eats,  trotting  the  opening  heat  in  2:08  and  giving 
[cKinney's  greatest  son  his  first  2:10  performer.  The 
i  est  two  heats  were  won  by  Anglola  and  then  the  race 

ent  over  till  Wednesday. 

There  was  a  crowd  of  about  5000  at  the  park,  and 

hlle  the  weather  was  fine,  the  track  was  slow  after 
le  heavy  rains  of  several  days. 

The   2:19   trot   went   to  the   favorite,   Leonardo,    in 

raight  heats.  Lady  Mowry  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  won 
llrd  money  in  this  event. 

The  2:13  pace  was  a  long  drawn  out  race,  requiring 


seven  heats  to  find  the  winner.  Lady  Sealskin  was 
the  favorite,  but  tired  after  two  heats  and  could  not 
get  to  the  front  again,  although  the  last  heat  was  as 
slow  as  2:20.     The  summaries:

September  6. — The  fifth  and  final  heat  of  the  $10.- 
000  Charter  Oak  stake  was  won  by  Angiola  to-day  in 
2.09%  with  Zephyr  second.  After  trotting  four  heats 
yesterday  Angiola  and  Zephyr  stood  even  with  two 
heats  won  by  each,  and  in  the  betting  Angiola  was 
the  favorite  to  win  the  race.  Geers  made  a  strong 
drive  with  Zephyr  to-day,  but  the  mare  had  not  the 
speed  to  overtake  Angiola.  Zephyr  won  second 
money,  $2500;  Norman  B.,  third,  $1500,  and  Glenwood 
M„  fourth,  $1000. 

Rain  interrupted  the  racing  this  afternoon  and  the 
last  race  on  the  program,  the  2:12  trot,  was  not 
reached.  The  rain  came  about  2:30  o'clock  and  the 
track  was  not  sufficiently  dried  off  for  racing  until 
5  o'clock.  Soon  after  the  rain  stopped  A.  J.  Welch, 
owner  of  the  track,  induced  a  lot  of  automobilists  to 
take  their  machines  out  on  the  track.  The  machines 
served  as  road  rollers  and  did  good  service  in  getting 
the  track  in  condition.  Deleree  was  expected  to  take 
the  Capitol  City  2:30  trot,  event,  which  closed  in  May. 
Her  mile  in  2:09%  in  the  2:30  trot  at  Readville  was 


Bellemont  (3)  3:17  1-2  in  Action 


regarded  as  putting  her  ahead  of  all  other  horses  in 
the  contest.  She  came  in  fifth  in  the  first  heat,  lame 
from  a  strained  tendon,  and  was  withdrawn. 

The  first  heat  was  won  by  Miss  In  Law,  but,  with 
Deleree  out.  Albert  C  became  favorite  in  the  betting, 
and  this  confidence  was  well  placed.  He  took  the 
next  three  heats  without  trouble.  Most  of  the  men 
with  money  to  bet  could  see  nothing  but  Don  Carr  in 
the  pacing  race,  and  there  was  little  surprise  when 
he  won  in  straight  heats.  Owyho  fought  hard,  but 
was  outfooted. 

Four  drivers.  Murphy,  Walker,  Howard  and  Hel- 
man,  were  fined  $50  each  by  Starter  Robert  Newton 
for  scoring  ahead  of  the  pole  horse,  after  they  had 
been  warned.     Summaries:

LAST   TWO    DAYS   AT   PROVIDENCE. 

PROVIDENCE,  R.  I.,  Sept.  1.— The  card  al  Nmrra- 
gansett  to-day  proved  an  attractive  one  for  9000  peo- 
ple who  attended  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting,  having 
as  it  did  a  special  match  race  between  Tiverton  and 
Sweet  Marie  and  a  free-for-all  which  brought  to- 
gether the  fastest  horses  in  the  country. 

In  the  match  race,  although  Tiverton  opened  a 
slight  favorite,  there  was  nothing  to  it  but  Sweet 
Marie.  The  mare  led  him  around  in  both  heats,  and 
when  Tiverton  tried  to  make  a  race  of  it  down  the 
stretch  he  broke  badly  in  both  heals. 

The  free-for-all  went  to  Nathan  Strauss  in  straight 
heats.  Although  John  M.  opened  a  slight  favorite  in 
the  betting,  the  best  that  animal  could  do  was  third 
in  both  heats.  Nervola  taking  second  money. 

In  the  unfinished  2:25  pace.  Col.  Kirkpatrick's 
Albuta,  who  had  taken  two  heats  of  the  race,  won 
the  third  and  deciding  heat.  Inter  Ocean  making  an- 
other bad  break  that  destroyed  his  chances  of  win- 
ning. Choir  Boy,  the  popular  choice  in  the  2:16  class, 
finished  with  the  tail-enders  in  both  heats,  W.  J. 
Lewis  winning  the  event. 

Boreazelle,  the  favorite,  won  the  2.24  trot  in  straight 
heats.  The  California  mare  Lady  Mowry,  by  Mc- 
Kinney out  of  a  mare  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  trotted  an 
excellent  race  and  won  second  money.  The  final  race 
of  the  day,  the  2:09  trot,  was  unfinished  when  dark- 
ness caused  the  postponement  of  the  event  until  to- 
morrow. In  the  two  heats  trotted  The  Roman  took 
one  and  Jim  Ferry  the  other.     Summaries:

Sept.  2. — To-day's  races  at  Narragansett  close  the 
Grand  Circuit  meeting  here.  The  card  contained 
three  of  the  fastest  races  of  the  meeting,  including 
the  unfinished  2:09  trot,  2:06  pace  and  2:07  trot,  as 
well  as  the  2:11  trot  and  a  pacing  race. 

Geers  won  his  first  race  of  the  week,  defeating  The 
Friend,  who  was  a  strong  favorite.  Geers  drove 
Baron  Grattan,  and  in  the  first  heat  The  Friend  raced 
the  bay  gelding  off  his  feet  in  the  stretch.  In  the 
second  heat  The  Friend  broke  in  the  stretch  when 
abreast  of  Baron  Grattan,  and  the  latter  won.  Tyson 
drove  poorly  in  the  last  heat,  and  should  have  won 
the  race,  as  The  Friend  had  speed  and  stamina,  but 
Geers  caught  him  napping  and  nosed  him  out  at  the 
wire. 

In  the  2:09  trot  Glenwood  M..  the  favorite,  who 
dropped  two  heats  yesterday,  took  the  last  two  heats 
to-day  without  difficulty.  Robert  Mc  took  the  2:11 
trot  after  dropping  the  first  heat  to  Robert  T..  Hard- 
wood finishing  with  the  tailenders  in  both  heats. 

George  G.,  with  Geers  driving,  was  favorite  in  the 
2:07  trot,  but  the  best  he  could  do  was  second,  with 
Wentworth  taking  the  event  in  straight  heats.  Sum-

Oder,  son  of  Zolock  2:05%,  reduced  his 
to   2:13%    hi   a   winning  race   over   East   week   before 


.  the  three-year-old  filly  that  raced

.:    good  race  in  the  2:13  class 

Tuesday.     She  was  a  good  second 

in   each   of  three   heats,   but    had   to  go  to  the  stable 

for  not  winning  a  heat  in  three.     She  got  third  money. 


J«.nes;.  Basler  was  not  started  in  the  2:09  class 
pace  at  the  State  Fair.  The  same  day,  however,  he 
worked  a  heat  in  2:10%  over  the  new  track. 


A  starter  should  not  be  condemned  for  sending  bad 
ff  in  the  rear  after  giving  them  a  few  oppor- 
tunities -  with  the  bunch.     Horses  that  do  not 
have  good  manners  should  not  be  waited  on. 


Deviletta.  William  Harkey's  filly  by  Diablo,  had  a 
•-!•  in  the  pacing  division  of  the  Harness   Stal- 
lion   Stake    at    the    State   Fair.      The    winnings    were 
not  large,  however — only  $176. 


Dr.  Strong  won  the  $5000  gold  cup  at  the  Inter-City 
matinee  races  at  "Washington  Park,  Chicago.  He  won 
in  straight  order,  the  time  being  2:09%,  2:09.  Aero- 
lite, Tom  Axworthy  and  Prince  of  Orange  were  the 
other  starters   and  finished  in  that   order. 


Capt.  C.  H.  Williams,  of  the  Alaska  Packing  Com- 
pany, returned  this  week  from  a  four  months'  trip 
to  the  frozen  north  and  will  take  in  the  last  two  days 
uf  the  State  Fair.  The  captain  has  no  colts  out  this 
year,  but  is  breeding  a  few  at  his  home  at  Palo  Alto 
'  that  will  be  starting  for  the  money  next  year  and 
thereafter.  He  owns  the  McKinney  stallion  TJnamak. 
one  of  the  handsomest  young  sons  of  the  champion 
sire.  Unamak  is  out  of  a  Director  mare,  a  choice 
combination  of  the  blood  of  champions. 

Poor  Sadie  Mac:  ir  is  a  pity  some  one  did  not 
know  she  was  in  no  condition  to  race,  or  she  might 
have  been  saved.  What  a  great  brood  mare  she 
would   have  made. 

There  is  talk  of  a  big  speed  sale  at  Pleasanton  next 
March.  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  have  the  matter  under 
consideration  with  Ed  R.  Smith,  who  will  act  as 
auctioneer  in  case  the  sale  is  held.  It  should  be  a  big 
success. 


Rex  Elees.  the  famous  saddle  stallion  of  Monroe 
county,  Missouri,  has  been  sold  by  his  owner,  Mr. 
Barnard,  of  Colorado  Springs,  to  an  Audrain  county 
man,  for  $8000.  Rex  Elees  is  a  son  of  Rex  McDonald, 
and  outsells  his  illustrious  sire  by  $1500.  the  price 
paid  for  him  being  the  highest  ever  paid  for  a  Missouri 
saddle  horse.  He  won  the  championship  stakes  at  the 
World's    !     i  '    has   been    victor   in    all   the  horse 

shows  of  recent  years  west  of  the  river.  Rex  Blees 
is  now  In  charge  of  John  T.  Hook  of  Paris.  Missouri, 
and  has  been  for  three  years. 


On    the   first    day   of   the   Readville   meeting   W.   J- 
Andrews    drove    the    pacing    stallion    Audubon    Boy 
2:03^  a  mile  in   2:01%,  the  last  half  in  58%  seconds. 
The    mile    was    not   an    exhibition,    but    a   workout   for

observers   to  predict  a  record

Noma    2:19,    the    two-year-old   trotter   who   secured 

hej    record  last  week  at  Readville,  is  the  first  of  the 

get   of  Walnut  Hall  2:09%   to  enter  the  standard  list. 

She  is   certainly  a  high-class  filly  and  is  owned  by" 

ident   W.  H.  McDoel,  of  Chicago. 

Secretary  "Wilson  of  the  Kentucky  Trotting  Horse 
I  breeders'  Association,  has  announced  the  classes  for 
neteen  purses  to  be  on  the  week's  program  at 
the  fall  meeting  at  Lexington.  October  3  to  14.  For 
trotters  there  are  nine  purses  of  the  value  of  $1000 
for  .lasses  from  2: Of;  to  2:25,  and  for  pacers  ten. 
ranging  from  2:04  to  2:  20l 


Bellemont,  the  Zombro  filly  that  won  two  heats  and 
second  money  in  this  year's  Occident  Stake,  got  a 
severe  bump  when  being  unloaded  from  her  car  at 
Sacramento.  She  struck  the  door  with  her  head,  mak- 
ing quite  a  wound  just  between  her  ears,  and  trotted 
her  race  with  a  bandage  on  it. 


E.  K  Smathers,  Jesse  Lewisohn  and  A.  B.  Hudson, 
three  of  the  greatest  plungers  in  America,  who  have 
frequently  bet  from  $5000  to  $25,000  on  a  race,  have 
agreed  to  limit  their  wagers  to  $100  hereafter.  This 
move  is  the  result  of  a  recent  discussion  by  these  men 
of  chances  to  win  on  races.  The  three  were  unani- 
mously of  the  opinion  that  betting  on  race  horses  was 
a  delusion  and  a  snare  and  to  win  a  fortune  from 
bookmakers  was  impossible.  The  outcome  of  the  dis- 
cussion was  an  agreement  that  $100  should  be  the  limit 
bet  on  a  single  horse  hereafter.  In  order  to  make 
the  agreement  binding  and  provide  a  penalty  for  the 
one  who  should  break  it,  it  was  expressly  stipulated 
that  if  the  agreement  was  broken  the  guilty  man 
should  pay  to  each  of  his  fellow  plungers  a  forfeit  of 
$5000. 


Mr.  E.  E.  Sherwood  of  San  Gabriel  writes  us  that 
he  has  just  sold  his  handsome  young  mare  Bessie 
Barnes  by  Zombro,  dam  by  Truman,  son  of  Elec- 
tioneer, to  Jackson  &.  Hall,  of  Doval.  Maine,  for  the 
neat  sum  of  $3000.  Bessie  Barnes  is  a  pacer  and  very 
fast.  She  was  a  good  second  in  a  heat  won  by  Vir- 
ginia in  2:  in  at  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  last  July, 
and  at  the  Fresno  meeting,  although  she  did  not  win 
the  race,  got  fourth  money  in  the  2:20  class  pace  and 
finished  third  in  the  fourth  and  last  heat  won  by 
Virginia  in  2:10%.  Truman,  sire  of  her  dam,  has  a 
record  of  2:15&.  Her  second  dam  is  the  great  brood- 
mare Nadine  (dam  of  Botonica  2:09%,  etc.)  by  Wild- 
idle,  third  dam  Norah  by  Messenger  Duroc,  fourth  dam 
Mary  Hulse  by  American  Star. 


Zolock  2:05^4  will  make  an  attempt  to  lower  his 
record  at  Sacramento  to-day.  While  the  track  is  not 
in  the  condition  for  a  trotter  or  pacer  to  show  his 
best  speed,  still  there  is  a  probability  that  the  son 
of  McKinney  will  be  able  to  shade  his  record  a  little 
as  he  is  in  fine  fettle.  Henry  Delaney  is  to  have  $500 
if  he  lowers  Zolock's  record,  and  Director  Geo.  W. 
Kingsbury  will  give  him  $100  more  if  he  lowers  the 
State  pacing  record  of  2:03%  made  by  John  R  Gentry 
at  Los  Angeles. 


A  recapitulation  of  Cresceus'  racing  career  shows 
that  he  started  in  thirty-eight  races,  of  which  he  won 
twenty-three,  and  secured  second  money  in  ten  others. 
He  started  sixty  times  against  time  for  track  records, 
being  successful  on  forty-seven  occasions.  His  total 
winnings  on  the  turf  amount  to  nearly  $110,000. 
Cresceus  was  trained  and  driven  in  all  of  his  races 
by  his  breeder  and  owner,  George  H.  Ketcham. 


The  handsome  and  fast  mare  Little  Babe  died  at 
Santa  Rosa  during  the  Breeders'  Meeting.  Little  Babe 
was  a  very  fast  trotter  but  had  been  unfortunate  in 
her  racing  career  in  meeting  the  best  horses  in  the 
State.  She  trotted  three  heats  in  2:15  and  better  at 
San  Jose  in  1904,  in  the  California  Stake,  but  was 
outside  the  money  at  that.  She  was  sired  by  Bradt- 
moor  and  out  of  a  mare  by  Dawn  and  was  owned 
by  Henry  Peters  of  Dixon,  who  had  refused  $2500 
for   her. 


Sarah  Benton,  the  dam  of  Charlie  T.  2:14%  is  also 
the  dam  of  Eila  Madison  2:12%  and  Lord  Kitchener 
2:29%,  the  last  named  being  a  full  brother  to  Charlie 
T.  All  these  trotters  were  bred  and  raised  by  Mr. 
M.  A.  Murphy,  formerly  of  Colton,  but  now  of  San 
Francisco.  Charlie  T.  is  owned  by  Mr.  John  Tread- 
w-il,  the  well  known  capitalist,  to  whom  Mr.  Murphy 
sold  him. 

Zolock  will  not  go  East.  The  only  races  still  open 
to  him  were  a  few  $1000  purses  and  .he  expenses  of 
the  trip  would  eai  up  all  the  profits  even  were  he  to 
win    alt    tli--    raees    to    which    he   is  eligible.

Dil  turn  2.05^  is  pi  »vihg  a  great  sire.  His  list  of 
2:10  trotters  promises  to  be  as  large  as  that  of  any 
stallion   within   the  next  five  years. 


Wanda  2:  17%.  owned  by  Mrs.  1".  H.  Burke,  was 
th<  first  ol  the  grand-children  of  Electioneer  to  take 
a  sian. laid  record.  She  is  the  dam  of  The  Roman 
2  09%,  and  Search  Me  2:22%,  the  latter  being  the  first 
of  the  get  of  Searchlight  to  enter  the  charmed  circle. 
tida  is  destined  to  be  one  of  the  great  broodmares 
ol  California,  as  every  one  of  her  foals  has  a  high 
ra  •  ol  pi  d.  A  full  sister  to  The  Roman  is  one  of 
the  greatest  young  prospects  in  California  and  looks 
like  2.10  will  be  easy  for  her  when  she  is  ready  to 
start. 


The    ribbon    parade    through    the   streets   of    Sacra- 
mento last  Tuesday   evening  by   the  members  of  the 
men  to    Driving  Club,   marshalled   by  Mr.   Frank 
E.   Wright,   was   a    very   pretty   spectacle.     At   least  a 
ivere  in  line,  and  no  handsomer  parade 
lias  b.een  seen  in  the  capital  city.

Hi  Hogoboom  made  the  first  record  on  the  ne\ 
track  at  Sacramento  when  he  marked  Geo.  Cressy* 
mare  Daisy  E.  in  2:22  in  a  trial  against  time  just  be 
fore  the  races  began.  The  first  heat  trotted  on  the  nej 
track  was  won  by  Billy  Julian  with  Princess  Louis  ^ 
in  2:20,  and  the  first  mile  in  2:10  on  this  track  w-a 
driven  by  H.  R.  Ward,  when  he  won  the  second  hea  ft 
of  the  2: iT'  pace  with  Daedalion  in  that  time 

of 


There  is  another  lone  tree  track  on  the  map.  Thi 
State  Fair  track  at  Salem,  Oregon,  has  one  lorn 
oak  in  the  center  field,  the  famous  Pleasanton  tracl 
is  adorned  in  the  same  manner,  and  the  new  track  o 
the  California  State  Agricultural  Society  also  has  * 
solitary  oak  in  the  infield.  It  is  an  omen  of  goot 
luck. 


Hetty  G.  2:041/4.  the  wonderful  old  pacing  mare  tha 
was  a  sensation  last  season,  has  been  thrown  out  0: 
trotting  for  the  balance  of  the  season,  as  her  trainer 
Tommy  Murphy,  found  that  she  was  not  in  form  tt 
race  in  her  class.  He  says,  however,  that  her  racin| 
days  are  not  over,  for  he  will  put  her  in  training  agaiz 
next  spring. 


It  is  a  curious  co'incidence  that  those  two  greai 
members  of  the  Mac  family,  Sadie  Mac  2:06)4,  trot 
ting,  and  Ethel  Mac  2.07H,  pacing,  are  both  owned 
by  women.  The  former,  as  has  been  frequently  stated 
is  the  property  of  Miss  K.  L.  Wilkes  of  Gait,  Ont. 
while  the  latter  is  owned  by  Mrs.  W.  H.  McCarthy, 
whose  husband  trains  and  drives  her. 


Mack  Mack  2:12  wrenched  one  of  his  ankles  in  a 
stall    recently   and    it    is    said   will    not   start    in    any   - 
further  races  this  season,  but  will  be  shipped  back  to 
California. 


An  Eastern  turf  journal  says:  'The  trotting  horse 
men  of  the  United  States  need  a  big,  brainy  man  to 
lead  ihem  out  of  the  wilderness."  And  we  might  add 
that  the  trotting  horsemen  of  California  are  also  in 
need  of  a  man  of  the  same  sort  who  will  lead  a  cru< 
sade  that  will  have  for  its  object  the  securing  of  theii 
rights. 


Each  one  of  the  four  money-winners  in  the  three- 
year-old  trot  at  Readville  last  week  was  a  male-line 
Electioneer.  So.  also  were  three  of  the  four  money- 
winners  in  the  two-year-old  trot.

An  effort  will  be  made  to  place  Todd  2:14%,  the 
half-brother  of  Sadie  Mac  2:06Vi.  in  the  2:10  list  at 
Lexington  this  fall. 


Italia  by  Zombro  won  her  race  at  Goshen,  New 
York,  August  23d,  right  off  the  reel,  and  took  a  record 
of  2:16%.  She  repeated  her  winning  at  Newberg  the 
following  week.  Italia  won  the  Occident  Stake

The  old  Gilroy  track  has  been  used  during  the  past 
few  months  by  quite  a  number  of  trainers  who  are 
getting  their  horses  ready  for  the  Hollister  race  meei 
ing  which  will  open  on  the  27th  inst. 


Santa  Maria  will  hold  a  meeting  November  6th 
Ilth  with  purses  ranging  from  $75  to  $250  for  name: 
horses    and    runners.      William     Mead     is     secretary. 
Entries  will  close  October  23d. 


Three  sires  are  credited  with  two  new  2:10  perform- 
ers each  this  year.  Directum  2.05  ^  has  Ethel's  Pride 
2:u7'o  and  Directum  Lass  2:09%.  Grattan  2:13  has 
Nutwood  Grattan  2:07U  and  Clarita  W.  2:09%.  Way-? 
land  W.  2:12*4  has  Bolivar  2:0S%  and  Nelly  R. 
2:09%.  Directum  is  the  only  one  with  two  trotters, 
one  of  Grattan's  being  a  pacer,  while  both  of  those 
by  Wayland   W.  are  pacers. 


North  Star  2:13%  is  not  only  the  fastest  three-year- 
old  trotting  gelding  of  the  year,  but  he  is  undoubtedly 
one  of  the  gamest.  He  was  the  contender  in  every 
heat  of  the  Occident  Stake  last  Saturday,  finished  sec- 
ond in  every  one  of  the  first  three  and  won  the  last 
three  on  his  gameness.  A  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  heat 
in  2:15%,  2:17%  and  2.18%  by  a  three-year-old  shows 
not  only  great  gameness  but  wonderful  endurance. 


James  W.  Marshall's  filly,  Mona  Wilkes  2:11%  bS 
Demonio  out  of  a  mare  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  is  thi 
fastest  three -year -old  pacer  of  the  year.  A  very  a 
markable  incident  of  the  race  wherein  she  took  ht_ 
record  is  that  she  won  the  fifth  and  deciding  heat 
while  hitched  to  a  road  cart.  After  winning  the  first 
and  second  beats  in  2:11%  and  2:13,  in  both  of  which 
her  hocks  hit  the  sulky,  she  broke  in  the  next  two 
heats  and  lost  them  to  Mamonio,  another  daughter  of 
Demonio.  in  2:1412  and  2:17.  No  sulky  could  be  had, 
and  Fred  Chadbourne  hooked  her  to  a  cart.  She  did 
not  mind  the  weight  and  reeled  off  the  fifth  heat  in* 
2: 1 5  %.      No   gamer   filly    ever   lived. 


At   the  recent  Pittsburg  matinee  there  was  a  stun-  * 
ning  surprise  in  the  free-for-all  trot,  in  which  R.  H.  j 
Boggs*  chestnut  gelding  Robin  C.  beat  S.  A.  Picker-  I 
ing's  Dr.  Strong,  trotting  the  last  two  heats  in   2:10, 
2:09%.  a  grand  wagon  performance.  Strong  taking  the 
first    heat    in    2.11%.      Robin    C.'s    turf  record    is    but 
2:17Vi.  made  last  season      He  is  by  Minotaur,  son  of  t 
Nominator  2:17^4.    His  dam  is  Laura  C,  by  Eros,  son 
of    Onwood    2: 25\i ;    grandam    the   fast    pacing   mare

OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINIONS. 


I  Casper   Redfield   in    Chicago    Horseman.      The    2:30 

Itandard  for  trotters  was  adopted  in  1879.     Its  object 

Las    to    separate    from    the    great    mass    of    trotting 

lorses  a  few  which,  by  reason  of  the  merit  of  their 

lerformances,  should  be  considered  standard  trotters. 

I'he  total  number  of  horses  which  had,  at  that  time, 

rotted  a  mile  in  2:30  or  better  was  about  1000;   now 

is  over  20,000,  and  the  number  is  increasing  at  the 

ate    of   about   one  thousand  per  year.     Already   the 

st  is  so  great  as  to  be  unwieldy. 

Upon  considering  the  changes  which  have  occurred 
i  the  trotting  horse  during  the  past  century  it  would 
eem    that    we   should    revise   the    standard    so    as   to 
lake    its    essential   principles   applicable    to    all    time 
stead   of   to   one   particular   date.     At   the  time   the 
tandard   was  adopted  a  2:30   trotter  meant  a  horse 
f  exceptional  merit  as  a  performer,  but  to-day  that 
tandard    has    lost   its    former    significance,      booking 
ack  over  the  evolution  of  the  horse  from  the  three- 
linute    trotter   of  a  century   ago   to   the   two-minute 
■otter   of  to-day,   it   will   be   seen  that   the   standard 
hould   be   on   a   sliding   scale   which  bears   some   re- 
itionship    to    the   rate   which    speed    is    evolved.      To 
laintain    the    2:30    standard    for    all    horses    of     all 
mes    is   to   not   only   let   into    the    standard    a   large 
umber  of  mediocre  horses  of  to-day,  but  to  exclude 
great  many  horses  of  exceptional  merit  which  ex- 
ited at  an  early  date.     A  record  of  2:31  made  forty 
r  fifty  years  ago  is  more  meritorious  than  a  record 
f  2:10  made  to-day,  yet  we  hail  the  2:10  trotter  as 
great   performer   and   turn   down   the   ancient   2:31 
otter  as  not  being  worthy  of  our  consideration.^. 
To  make  a  sliding  scale  which  will  represent  actual 
lerit    with    a    reasonable    degree    of    accuracy,    it    is 
ecessary    to    take    into    consideration    the    times    at 
hich  horses  lived  and   the   extreme   speed  exhibited 
y  the  best  horses  of  those  times.     In  doing  this  the 
lclusion  of  any  horse  within,  or  exclusion  from,  the 
:andard  may  be  most  conveniently  determined  from 
ie  date  when  he  was  foaled.     As  it  is  impossible  in 
case  of  this  kind  to  obtain  that  degree  of  accuracy 
hich  will   do  absolute  justice   to   all  horses,   and  as 
is  impracticable  to  attempt  it  by  the  introduction 
f  fractions,   the  best  method   is   to   group   horses  by 
ecades  and  to  vary  the  standard  for  each  decade. 
To  carry  out  the  idea  here  suggested  I  have  calcu- 
ited   a   sliding-scale   standard  which   comes   as   near 
i  accuracy  as  appears  practical   under   the   circum- 
ances.     In  doing  this  I  have  assumed  that  the  2:30. 
t  the  time   of  its   adoption,   was   very   nearly   right, 
lid  that  it   should   apply  to   horses  foaled  after   the 
eginning  of  1870   and   before  the  beginning  of  1880. 
-    torn  that  point  I  have  calculated  backward  into  the 
irlier    dates   and   forward    into   the   later   dates   and 
nd  that  a  variation  of  Ave  seconds  in  the  standard 
>r  each  decade  gives  a  reasonable  degree  of  accur- 
cy.     Putting  this  into  a  table  we  have  the  following: 
A    Standard    Trotter    is    one    Foaled    Within    the 
Dates    Named    and    Trotting    a    Mile    Within 
the  Time  Set  Opposite  Such  Dates. 
Foaled  within  years.  Trotting  a  Mile  in. 

1810  to  1819 3:00  or  better. 

1S20  to  1829 2.55  or  better. 

1830  to  1839 2:50  or  better. 

1S40  to  1849 2:45  or  better. 

1850  to  1859 2:40  or  better. 

1860  to  1S69 2:35  or  better. 

1870  to  1879 2:30  or  better. 


constitute  a  standard  record  for  horses  foaled  during 
the  years  1910  to   1919   inclusive. 

The  advantages  of  such  a  rule  as  this  will  be 
obvious.  Its  application  will  make  a  definite  record 
which  will  accurately  mark  the  evolution  of  the  trot- 
ter, and  it  would  ultimately  become  of  great  historic 
value.  It  would  cut  out  of  the  list  a  large  number 
of  horses  which  are  not  entitled  to  recognition  at 
being  among  the  best  of  their  day  and  generation. 
At  the  present  time  the  owners  of  many  horses  art 
content  to  give  them  record  just  inside  of  2:30,  and 
the  consequence  is  that  in  many  cases  the  records 
do  not  indicate  the  capabilities  of  the  horses  to  which 
they  are  attached.  With  a  better  standard  there  would 
be  an  incentive  to  give  each  horse  the  best  record 
of  which  he  was  capable,  and  these  records  would  be 
better  indications  of  merit.  The  evolution  of  the  trot- 
ter is  undoubted,  and  a  horse  foaled  after  1900  and 
incapable  of  trotting  to  a  record  of  2 :  15  or  better 
is  not  keeping  up  with  the  procession.  All  such  should 
be  discarded  as  not  forming  part  of  a  breed  in  which 
speed  is  an  essential  element.

PEDIGREE    OF    AMBUSH. 


Ambush,  winner  of  the  Harness  Stallion  Stake,  is 
a  grand  looking  brown  colt,  whose  blood  lines  are 
here  given,  as  there  is  probably  not  another  colt  bred 
like  him  in  America.  By  a  son  of  McKirmey  and  out 
of  a  mare  whose  dam  was  by  the  same  great  sire,  he 
is  doubtless  the  only  colt  ever  trained  that  carries 
two  crosses  of  the  blood  of  Sweet  Marie's  sire.  A  colt 
by  a  pacer  that  has  a  record  of  2:05%  and  out  of  a 
mare  sired  by  a  pacer  with  a  record  of  2:07  could 
reasonably  be  expected  to  pace,  but  Ambush  is  a 
square  trotter  and  a  better  gaited  one  is  hard  to  find. 
His  pedigree  tabulated  to  the  fifth  cross  is  as  follows: 

AMIHsH  2:14  1-4 


The  number  of  2:30  trotters  in  1870  was  181,  which 

substantially  the  number  of  2.10  trotters  which 
cisted  in  1903.  This  gives  a  total  of  20  seconds  in 
lirty-three  years,  or  one  minute  in  a  century.  The 
Insulation  here  given  gives  only  50  seconds  in  a 
■ntury  or  a  slight  discrimination  in  favor  of  present 
ly  performers.  A  continuation  of  the  same  sliding 
iale  for  two  decades  further,  however,  would  prob- 
>ly  bring  about  a  substantial  balance.  After  about 
'30  or  1940  the  amount  of  variation  per  decade  would 
we  to  be  rapidly  diminished.  To  continue  the  same 
iriation  for  a  century  to  come  would  require  a  horse 

trot  a  mile  in  20  seconds  and  a  little  more  would 
ive  him  finish  the  mile  before  he  began. 
The  comparative  accuracy  of  the  scale  may  be  seen 
J  comparing  it  with  the  fastest  performances  within 
fferent  decades.  The  tabular  standard  speed  for  the 
icade  from  1840  to  1849  is  2:45.  The  extreme  speed 
r  that  decade  was  2:28  made  by  Felham  in  1849. 
he  difference  between  the  extreme  and  the  stand- 
•d  is  17  seconds.  For  the  decade  1870  to  1879  the 
andard  is  2:30  and  the  extreme  is  2:12%,  made  by 
.  Julien  in  1S79.  The  difference  here  is  17%  seconds. 
>r  1890  to  1899  the  standard  is  2:20  and  the  extreme 
ieed  is  2:03%,  made  by  Alix  in  1894.  Here  the  dif- 
rence  is  16%  seconds.  The  differences  for  the  in- 
rmerliate  points  are  also  substantially  the  same 
nount. 

It  will  be  a  good  plan  to  make  the  standard  in 
finite  relationship  to  the  extreme  speed  of  the  fastest 
»rse,  and  that  is  what  the  proposed  standard  is. 
it  as  it  cannot  be  known  in  advance  what  the  ex- 
;me  of  any  decade  will  be  it  can  be  readily  calcu- 
:ed  from  the  preceding  decade.  Taken  in  this  way 
e  proposed  standard  for  horses  foaled  in  any  decade 

found  to  be  from  eleven  to  twelve  seconds  slower 
an  the  best  record  of  the  preceding  decade.  A  con- 
nient  general  rule  would  be  to  make  the  standard, 

the  beginning  of  each  decade,  ten  seconds  slower 
an  the  best  record  made  up  to  that  time.  Thus,  in 
10,  the  best  record  for  the  first  decade  of  the  pres- 
t  century  will  be  known,  and  it  will  then  be  ample 
n'e  in  which  to  determine  what  rate  of  speed  shall

RACES   AT   INGLESIDE. 


LEWIS  AND  CLARK  STOCK  SHOW. 


PORTLAND,  Sept.  5. — A  big  force  of  carpenters  is 
at  work  on  the  sheds  for  the  slock  show,  on  the  heel 
of  the  peninsula  across  Guild  Lake,  at  the  Lewis  and 
Clark  Exposition.  The  framework  of  the  various 
barns  is  already  completed,  and  all  will  be  in  readi- 
ness  by  September  10.  As  the  stock  show  dales  an- 
September  19  to  29,  inclusive,  this  is  ample  time. 
There  will  be  room  for  500  head  of  cattle,- 30(1  hoi  ■ 
300  sheep,  200  hogs  and  150  goals,  and  thei 
enough  entries  to  fill  every  stall. 

The  list  of  judges  has  just  been  given  out  by  M.  D. 
Wisdom,  live  stock  superintendent,  who  says:  "The 
judges  are  the  most  prominent  and  capable  it  is  pos- 
sible to  secure,  each  being  an  expert  in  his  own  class. 
This  assures  absolutely  fair  and  able  judging  of  every 
entry." 

Professors  C.  F.  Curtiss,  of  Aimes,  la.,  and  W.  H. 
Dobson,  of  Marion,  Ohio,  have  been  selected  to  judge 
Class  A  horses,  and  the  other  judges  so  far  chosen 
are:  W.  O.  Cowen  of  Chicago,  and  George  F.  Bel- 
lows of  Marysville,  Mo..  Shorthorns;  C.  A.  Spannard, 
Emporia.  Kan.,  Hereford.  Galloway  and  Poled  Angus 
breeds;  Prof.  W.  J.  Carlisle.  Fort  Collins,  Colo..  Jer- 
seys; Prof.  C.  S.  Plum,  Columbus,  Ohio,  Holsteins; 
Dwight  Lincoln.  Milford  Center,  Ohio,  fine  wool  sheep; 
G.  G.  Council,  Vandalia,  111.,  swine. 

The  entry  list  is  now  closed,  and  an  inspection  of 
it  assures  the  fulfilment  of  Mr.  Wisdom's  early  proph- 
ecy that  the  stock  show  would  be  not  only  the  best 
ever  held  in  the  West,  but  one  of  the  best  ever  held 
anywhere.  Stockmen  all  over  the  United  States  have 
taken  a  very  keen  interest  in  it  from  the  first,  and  a 
very  large  attendance  of  Western  stockmen  is  ex- 
pected, as  many  have  postponed  their  visit  to  the  big 
fair  in  order  to  enable  them  to  be  present  when  the 
stock  show  is  in  progress. 

Among  the  more  notable  entries,  mention  might  be 
made  of  Univers,  winner  of  many  prizes,  a  stallion 
purchased  a  year  ago  by  Boedigheimer  and  Yankee, 
of  Salem,  Ore.,  from  McLaughlin  Bros,  of  Kansas  City 
for  a  consideration  in  the  neighborhood  of  $3,000. 
Univers  won  first  prize  in  class,  and  two  medals  and 
two  prizes  in  collection  at  St.  Louis  last  year.  He 
was  foaled  May  27.  1900,  and  on  the  Continent  won  a 
first  prize  and  gold  medal  at  the  show  of  the  Societe 
Hippique  Percheronne,  in  1903,  and  first  prize  in  col- 
lection at  the  Grand  Annual  Show  of  France  in  the 
same  year.  He  wras  awarded  first  prize  at  the  In- 
diana State  Fair  in  1903.  Univers  is  one  of  Mc- 
Laughlin Brothers'  finest  importations.  He  is  a 
handsome  black  stallion  and  weighs  2,310  pounds. 


The  San  Francisco  Driving  Club,  with  a  bookmak- 
ing  attachment,  held  a  race  meeting  at  Ingleside  on 
Monday  afternoon  of  this  week — Labor  Day.  The 
results  of  the  harness  races  wrere  as  follows: 

First  race,  2:35  class — Won  by  Monkey  in  straight 
heats;  time,  2:25%,  2:24.  Dan  Alden  second,  Ed- 
ward third. 

Second  race,  free  for  all — Won  by  Kitty  D,  in 
straight  heats;  time,  2.20,  2:20%.  Harry  Hurst  and 
Flora  G,   alternating  second   and  third. 

Third  race,  2:30  class — Won  by  Grace  McKinney  in 
straight  heats;  time,  2:28%.  2:31%.  Dynamite  sec- 
ond, Lucky  Prince  third  in  first,  Dick  third  in  second 
heat. 

Fifth  race.  2:45  class — Won  by  Joe  Mc,  first  in 
second  and  third  heats;  time.  2:38%,  2:31%.  Ed  Ray 
second  in  second  and  third,  first  in  first  heat;  Little 
Dick  third. 

Sixth  race,  unfinished— King  Cadenza  first  In  first 
heat;  time.  2:23%.  Lady  Jeffries  second,  Ring  Rose 
third.  Mixer  first  in  second  heat,  time  2:20;  Ring 
Rose  second,  Verona  third. 


DREW    A  TOOMEY   SULKY. 


When  Edwin  C.  won  the  $5,000  Park  Brew  Pacing 
stake  at  Providence  recently,  he  was  hitched  to  a 
Toomey  low-seat  racer  sulky  made  by  S.  Toomey  & 
Co..  Canal  Dover,  Ohio.  These  sulkies  are  the  most 
popular  of  any  on  the  market  and  are  being  used  by 
the  large  majority  of  the  best  horses  on  the  turf. 


WESTCHESTER    RACING  ASSOCIATION. 


A  number  of  very  important  stakes  for  runners  will 
close  Friday,  Sept.  15th.  with  clerk  of  the  course,  H. 
G.  Crickmore  of  the  Westchester  Racing  Association, 
Windsor  Arcade,  571  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York. 

For  the  spring  meeting  of  1906,  there  is  the  Juvenile 
with  $2500  added,  at  five  furlongs,  for  two-year-olds; 
the  Fashion,  with  $2000  added,  at  four  and  a  half  fur- 
longs, for  two-year-old  fillies,  and  the  Eclipse,  with 
$5000  added,  for  two-year-olds,  at  five  and  a  half  fur- 
longs. There  is  also  the  historic  Withers,  with  $5000 
added,  at  a  mile,  for  three-year-olds;  the  Ladies',  with 
$4000  added,  at  a  mile,  for  three-year-old  fillies,  and 
the  forty-first  Belmont  Stakes,  of  $25,000,  for  three- 
year-olds,  at  a  mile  and  three  furlongs.  The  tenth 
National  Stallion  Race  of  $5000,  for  two-year-olds, 
at  five  furlongs,  completes  the  list  for  1906. 

There  will  also  close  the  yearling  entry  for  the 
forty-second  Belmont  Stakes  to  be  run  at  the  spring 
meeting  in  1908,  with  $25,000  added,  for  three-year- 
olds,  over  a  mile  and  three  furlongs,  and  also  for  the 
tenth  Matron  Stakes,  with  $10,000  added,  for  then  two- 
year-olds,  to  be  run  at  the  fall  meeting  in  190S,  at  six 
furlongs. 

Full  details  of  these  stakes  appear  in  our  business 
columns.     Entry  blanks  at  this  office. 


Washington    Jockey    Club. 

The  Autumn  meeting  at  the  Bennings  course,  Wash- 
ington, TJ.  C,  in  November,  is  one  of  the  great  run- 
ning meetings  of  the  year.  In  our  columns  to-day 
are  advertised  the  stakes,  to  close  Friday  next,  Sep- 
tember 15th. 

There  is  the  Grand  Consolation,  $3000  added,  for 
two-year-olds,  at  seven  furlongs;  the  Dixie,  with 
$2500  added,  three-year-olds,  at  a  mile  and  a  half,  and 
the  Vestal,  with  $2000  added,  for  three-year-old  fillies, 
at  a  mile  and  a  half. 

The  closing  will  be  noticed  of  the  Columbia  Handi- 
cap, the  Washington  Cup,  the  Benning  Special,  the 
Maximum,  the  Bladensburg,  the  Hunter's  Champion 
and  the  Junior  Steeplechase,  in  due  course.  Entry 
blanks  at  this  offl.ee. 


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

THE    FOOL    AND    THE    WISE    MAN. 


He   loved   to   lean   upon   the   fence. 

And   watch    the  swallows    dart. 
Or  list  to  lark,  with  joy  intense, 

Trill  melody  from  its  heart. 

He  loved   to  linger  by  the  brook, 

And  scan  the  riffle's  play, 
Or  drowse  and  dream  above  his  hook, 

With  trouble — far  away. 

"With  simple  joys  he  was  content; 

He  had  no  wish  to  rule; 
Men  said  his  days  were  all  misspent. 

And   dubbed  the  man — a  fool. 

His  brother,  where  the  crowds  were  great, 

Sat  scheming,  day  by  day; 
He  filled  men's  hearts  with  fear  and  hate — 

And  piled  his  gains  away. 

Never  knew  he  'one  hour  of  rest, 
His  brow  was  lined  with  care; 

If  joy  had  e'en  been  in  his  breast 
Lingered  it  had  not  there. 

No  birds   enchanted  him  with  song, 
His  dreams — were  full  of  sighs. 

His   fellows  saw  him   grub   along. 
And  thought — that  he  was  wise  (?).

MANY    LURES    FOR    BLACK    BASS    ANGLERS. 


In  no  department  of  angling  mechanics  has  the 
ingenuity  of  the  Yankee  come  more  promptly  to  the 
surface  than  in  the  matter  of  artificial  baits  for  black 
bass.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  over  100  ingenious,  prac- 
tical and  killing  artificial  baits  are  now  on  the  market 
for  the  bass  fisherman.  These  vary  as  to  weight, 
size  and  floating  quality,  and  range  all  the  way  from 
exact  rubber  imitations  of  a  natural  frog  to  some 
strange  creature  in  imitation  of  nothing  ever  seen  on 
land  or  sea. 

A  few  of  these  novelties,  although  of  recent  intro- 
duction, have  demonstrated  their  effectiveness  as  lures. 
One  of  the  best  of  these  new  baits  is  the  buck  tail, 
which  is  made  of  the  tail  of  a  deer  tied  on  a  long 
shank  hook  and  spread  out  liberally  over  the  bend 
of  the  hook.  What  particular  attraction  the  tail  of 
a  deer  should  have  for  black  bass  no  one  knows,  but 
certain  it  is  that  this  lure,  either  made  in  dark  brown 
for  day  use  or  bright  white  for  late  afternoon,  even- 
ing and  night  use,  is  a  very  killing  bait.  It  is  made 
generally  with  one  or  two  concealed  hooks.  To  the 
credit  of  the  angling  fraternity,  as  well  as  the  dealer, 
it  may  be  said  that  the  use  of  the  treble  hook  is 
rapidly  being  discontinued.  Indeed,  in  some  states, 
notably  that  of  New  Jersey,  the  treble  hook  is  now 
illegal.  Pity  'tis  that  not  every  state  has  followed 
New  Jersey's  fair  statute.  The  buck  tail:  in  the  form 
described,  is  generally  used  on  or  near  the  surface 
and  is  light  enough  to  be  used  with  a  fairly  stiff  fly 
rod.  Like  all  other  artificial  lures,  it  should  be  kept 
constantly  in  motion,  and  will  be  found  most  effective 
when  cast  in  the  vicinity  of  weeds  or  brush. 

An  interesting  combination  is  now  offered  of  this 
buck  tail  attached  as  a  troller  to  the  famous  floating 
baits.  These  are  known  as  the  "revolution"  and 
"evolution"  baits,  and  have  been  wonderfully  effective 
throughout  the  Middle  and  Northwestern  states.  They 
are  made  of  aluminum,  coarsely  fashioned,  with  arms 
which  revolve  when  drawn  through  the  water  and  are 
bright  and  glistening  and  have  every  reasonable  at- 
traction which  inquisitive  bass  might  ask  Strange  to 
say.  they  have  not  yet  been  freely  tested  by  Eastern 
anglers  who  seem  to  be  very  conservative  in  the  mat- 
ter of  novelties  for  bass  fishing.  The  hair  of  the 
buck's  tail  has  also  been  found  to  be  an  attractive 
lure  when  tied  on  the  shank  of  a  No.  6  hook  and  used 
as  a  fly. 

Another  remarkably  successful  lure  consists  of  the 
Dogagiac  baits,  which  take  their  name  from  the  town 
in  Michigan  where  they  are  made,  and  which  are,  in 
some  respects,  the  most  highly  finished  artificial  bass 
baits  now  on  the  market.  They  have  many  ingenious 
features  to  attract  the  critical  sportsman  as  well  as 
the  bass.  They  are  made  in  imitation  of  minnows 
of  various  colors  and  are  so  equipped  with  small 
pieces  of  lead  that  they  float  in  a  correct  position  no 
matter  how  fast  they  may  be  retrieved.  A  revolving 
spinner  precedes  and  follows  the  fish,  one  turned  to 
the  right  and  the  other  to  the  left.  This  construction 
prevents  kinking  of  the  line. 

These  minnows  are  equipped  with  an  arrangement 
at  each  side  and  at  the  end,  by  which  the  treble  hooks 
furnished  may  be  removed  and  single  hooks  substi- 
tuted. The  makers  have  not  confined  themselves  to 
imitating  either  the  shape  or  color  of  a  variety  of 
minnows,  but  have  also  introduced  a  number  of  in- 
genious shapes  which  have  been  found  quite  as  ef- 
fective  as   the   Imitation    minnows.     These   baits   are 


ex- 

he.l 
u,-- 


of  line  weight  for  casting  and  have  a  tendency  to  sing 
very  slowly,  which  recommends  them  as  an  "ideal 
black  bass  bait  for  some  waters.  In  fineness  of 
finish,  quality  and  durability  they  leave  nothing  to 
be  desired. 

Another  novel  and  interesting  bait  recently  placed 
on  the  market  is  the  Jamison  coaxer  and  teaser.  Mil 
Jamison  is  a  Chicago  sportsman  who  has  devoted 
considerable  leisure  time  to  the  study  of  the  habits 
of  black  bass.  The  circular  with  which  he  announces 
his  bait  is  extremely  readable  to  any  angler  for  this 
game  fish.  Mr.  Jamison  has  become  convinced,  with 
the  rest  of  the  expert  black  bass  anglers,  that  the 
bass  sees  his  object  long  before  it  reaches  the  wateflj 
He  has  watched  bass  start  for  the  place  where  a 
bait  or  frog  would  land  and  travel  twenty  feet  wills 
their  back  fin  sticking  out  of  the  water.  This 
perience  is  not  novel  to  any  angler  who  has  fish 
in  shallow  waters  or  where  the  bass  were  accuj 
tomed  to  surface  feeding.  Mr.  Jamison,  therefore, 
ingeniously  constructs  a  bait  which  moves  freely 
through  the  air,  and  while  in  the  air  resembles  a 
bug.  It  has  a  round-shaped  body  which  is  made  of 
cork  and  enameled  white,  from  which  two  side  wings 
project,  and  the  tail  is  furnished  with  two  large  flat 
brilliant  red  feathers  in  which  the  hook  is  concealed. 
To  make  the  bait  almost  weedless,  it  is  so  weighted 
that  when  drawn  through  the  water  the  barb  of  the 
hook  remains  uppermost.  When  pulled  from  the 
water  this  bait  has  a  tendency  to  seek  the  surface 
and  makes  a  wake  like  an  insect  or  bug,  and  in  the 
hands  of  many  expert  anglers  has  already  demon- 
strated its  remarkable  killing  qualities.  The  bait  is 
made  either  single  or  tandem. 

The  "Nemahdin"  is  another  novelty  in  bass  baits 
which  has  much  to  commend  it.  It  has  a  spinner 
in  front  of  a  barred  shaped  body  which  is  more  or. 
Jess  in  imitation  of  a  minnow,  and  the  hooks  a: 
skillfully  guarded  by  wires  that  render  it  practical 
weedless. 

The  difficulty  with  many  of  the  bass  baits  hereto- 
fore is  that  they  turn  so  frequently  that  the  line 
becomes  rapidly  kinked  and  snarled.  This  has  been 
overcome  by  the  method  described  above  and  which 
consists  of  using  spinners  revolving  in  opposite  direc- 
tions, or  by  the  use  of  the  Stewart  pilot,  a  recent 
novelty  which  will  instantly  appeal  to  any  angler 
for  its  ingenuity  and  valuable  service.  It  is  so  con-? 
strutted  that  by  using  either  the  front  or  end  of  the 
pilot  the  bait  will  persistently  seek  either  the  surface 
or  the  bottom.  It  will  be  seen  that  this  device  will 
instantly  turn  right  the  frog,  which,  as  every  angler 
knows,  has  the  persistent  habit  of  landing  on  its 
back  and  staying  there,  in  which  position  no  well- 
constructed  bass  would  attack  him.  The  Pilot  from 
Chicago  is  made  of  aluminum  and  sells  for  25  cenl 

For  using  live  frogs  several  ingenious  devices  a: 
now  on  the  market.  Thatcher's  aluminum  fioati: 
live  frog  rig  is  perhaps  the  most  ingenious  of  the  lot. 
It  consists  of  a  shaped  piece  of  aluminum  with  a 
hook  at  the  front  and  the  back  and  rubber  bands  by 
which  the  frog  is  attached  to  this  aluminum  plate 
which  exactly  fits  the  shape  of  his  body.  The  hooks 
are  between  his  forelegs  and  hindlegs,  one  faci: 
down  and  the  other  up,  and  are  so  located  that  almo; 
any  strike  will  hook  a  fish.  This  rig  is  supposed 
allow  the  frog  free  and  natural  action. 

Another  device  of  similar  style  is  a  frog  tandei 
which  consists  of  two  hooks  attached  with  a  piece 
of  lead  soldered  to  the  second  hook  to  which  is  fas- 
tened a  rubber  band.  The  first  hook  is  fastened 
through  the  lips  of  the  frog,  the  rubber  band  drawn 
around  his  body  and  in  this  position  he  floats  cor- 
rectly whether  living  or  dead. 

Another  similar  device  is  the  gang  and  casting 
hook,  which  consists  of  a  small  spinner  attached  to 
the  upper  end  of  a  long-shanked  hook  and  a  split 
shot  fastened  to  the  bend  of  the  hook.  By  this  ar- 
rangement the  advantage  of  a  spinner  is  had  and  the 
split  shot  will  persistently  keep  the  minnow  or  frog 
upright. 

A  frog  casting  frame  gang  is  another  one  of  the 
recent  novelties  for  bass  fishermen.  It  consists  of 
a  coarsely  shaped  piece  of  wire,  from  which  are 
sprung  single  or  gang  hooks  to  which  the  frog  is 
attached.  By  this  arrangement  the  hooks  may  be 
sent  through  the  legs  of  the  frog  so  as  to  hold 
in    correct    position   all    the    time. 

Another,  made  in  Utica,  N.  Y.,  is  also  an  interest!] 
variation  of  special  baits,  which  is  good  for  either 
trolling  or  casting.  It  has  the  unique  feature  of  a 
darting  bait  as  well  as  a  revolving  one.  By  an  in- 
genious arrangement  of  fastening  the  line  not  td 
the  forward  end  of  the  minnow,  but  somewhat  back 
from  the  head  by  means  of  a  swinging  hinge,  an 
oscillating  and  darting  motion  is  given  to  the  bait, 
which  has  proved  very  attractive  to  game  fish. 

A  similar  bait  which  has  been  remarkably  success- 
ful for  bass,  trout  and  salmon,  is  the  "silver  soldier," 
made  by  a  New  York  sporting  goods  house,  and 
which  consists  of  a  German  silver  minnow,  to  which 
is  permanently  soldered  a  fine  quality  single  hook. 
This  minnow  is  bent  into  nearly  a  half  circle,  and 
when  drawn  through  the  water  turns  from  side  tflf 
side  in  close  imitation  of  a  wounded  minnow  endeav- 
oring to  escape  from  his  enemy.  The  "silver  soldier" 
has  been  effective  in  salt  .water  as  well  as  fresh. 

The  bass  fisherman  who  is  trolling  alone  for  his 
favorite  finny  quarry  will  find  it  necessary  to  be 
equipped  with  some  method  of  holding  his  rod  in  the 
boat,  and  the  ingenious  Yankee  has  not  overlooked 
this  important  item  of  the  equipment.  A  device  has 
for  several  ye"ars  been  on  the  market  which  may  be 
securely  attached  either  to  the  gunwale  of  the  boat, 
the  seat  or  side,  and  into  which  the  fishing  rod  may 
be  placed  ready  for  instant  release. 

The  device  is  of  galvanized  iron  with  arms  which 
are  rubber  covered  to  protect  the  finish  of  the  rod, 
and  is  capable  of  a  dozen  different  adjustments.  The 
security  of  the  arrangement  is  absolute,  and  no  angler 
having  once  tried  it  would  attempt  to  get  along 
without  it.  By  the  use  of  this  device  the  rod  may 
be   extended   directly  over  the  stern  of  the  boat,   or

at  right  angles,  for  the  purpose  of  trolling  close  to 

5  The  weedless  hooks  and  spinners  have  also  con- 
tributed not  a  little  to  the  popularity  of  bass  fishing 
among  Western  lakes  where  weeds  are  prevalent,  and 
are  entitled  to  equal  place  for  recognition  among  the 
critical  angling  fratrnity  of  the  East.  These  consist 
'of  long-shanked  pattern  hooks,  to  the  shank  of  which 
:is  permanently  attached  a  small  piece  of  mckel- 
Iplated  copper  which  spins  within  close  distance  to  the 
'point  of  the  hook.  The  weedless  feature  is  obtained 
by  the  use  of  spring;  wires  extending  from  the  ringed 
lend  of  the  hook.  An  ingenious  novelty  is  furnished 
iby  this  company,  consisting  of  a  tandem  of  hooks, 
lone  long-shanked,  the  other  short,  to  which  two  small 
,frogs  or  minnows  can  be  attached,  and  which  has 
conclusively  demonstrated  its  value. 


Angling  Devices  Recently  Patented. 

In  the  use  of  bait  or  fly-casting  tackle  a  prime 
object  is  to  reduce  to  a  minimum  the  friction  of  the 
line  as  it  is  reeled  in  and  out,  particularly  so  in  cast- 
ing To  attain  this  end  much  ingenuity  has  been 
shown  in  devising  guides  and  tips  of  the  proper  size 
and  shape  and  in  the  selection  of  material  most  suit- 
able for  them.  With  the  various  agate  or  other  hard 
substitutes,  snake,  ring  and  metal  guides  and  tips 
most  anglers  are  familiar,  yet  new  styles  are  con- 
tinually being  produced,  and  recently  there  has  been 
advanced  a  new  departure  in  rod  tip  construction 
which,  it  is  claimed,  practically  opens  the  field  of  in- 
vention afresh.  A  few  months  ago  the  first  roller 
tins  and  guides  were  offered  to  anglers,  and  already 
a  second  patent  on  a  device  of  this  nature  has  been 
granted,  this  time  to  Otto  Miller  and  Philip  Kun- 
izinger  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  It  relates,  however,  to  rod 
!tips  only.  The  tip  is  penetrated  by  a  transverse  open- 
ling  back  of  the  boss,  in  which  is  journaled  an  anti- 
friction roller,  its  ends  loosely  fitting  holes  drilled  in 
the  sides  of  the  boss  and  held  in  place  by  a  threaded 
collar  screwed  in  the  outside  of  the  boss.  The  in- 
turned  annular  flange  forms  a  smaller  orifice,  which 
'holds  the  line  near  the  center  of  the  roller  This 
invention  is  simple  and  may  be  easily  applied  to  any 
trolling  rod  tip.  It  is  cheaply  manufactured  and  is 
said  to  =  erve  the  purpose  admirably.  Any  parts  broken 
'or  damaged  by  wear  may  be  replaced  without  remov- 
ing the  tip  from  the  rod.  Of  course  the  roller  tip

vide a  simple,  certain  and  thoroughly  practical  man- 
'  ner  to  effect  setting  of  the  hook  in  the  fish's  mouth 
Lwhen  the  bait  on  the  hook  is  disturbed  or  to  snag 
Ithe  fish  should  it  take  the  bait  when  placed  above 
the   hook. 

j;     This   device   consists   of  a   spring  arm   fastened   to 
['the  rod   near   the   grip   and   lying   close  to    the    butt 
joint   when   the  mechanism   is   set.     The   line   is   run 
.through  a  guide  in  the    end    of    the    arm    and    then 
I  through  the  rod  tip.    Midway  of  the  arm  is  located  a 
[  hook    and    sear,    the    latter    having    a    counterweight 
which    holds    it    in    engagement    until    released    by    a 
■strain  upon  the  line,  such  as  might  be  given  by  the 
l-fish  in  biting.     In  casting,  or  in  still  fishing    with    a 
I  heavv   sinker,    premature    release    of    the    spring   is 
I  avoided  by   supporting  the   counterweight    with    the

Salmon  in  the  Bay.  ._,„_ 

Local  anglers  have  had  royal  sport  with  the  salmon 
•un  now  on  in  the  "straits"  and  adjacent  waters.  On 
Sunday  and  Monday  last,  and  throughout  the  week, 
,t  is  estimated  that  at  least  70  fish  were  taken  by 
lifferent  anglers. 

Most  of  the  salmon  were  caught  near  the  end  ot 

ielvedere   island,   a   few   were  hooked  on  the  Angel 

sland    side   of   the    straits.      One   large    fish,    over    22 

.ounds,  was  caught  in  the  entrance  to  the  Tiburon 

ierry   slip,   by   Clarence   Ashlin,   last  week.     He   was 

rolling  from  a  launch.     S.  A.  Wells,  John  Fatjo  and 

''rank   Marcus   were   also    in    the   launch,    the   party 

Mounting  for  seven  fish,  all  of  which  were  taken  on

New    Resort  for   Black  Bass  Anglers.  j 

From  time  to  time,  the  waters  of  the  Sacramento 
sloughs  and  overflows  above  Rio  Vista  have  been 
mentioned  in  these  columns  as  affording  first  class 
black  bass  angling.  Reports  received  from  individual 
anglers  have  been  enthusiastic  in  praise  of  the  sport 
to  be  had  at  various  places  bettyeen  Clarksburg  and 
Rio  Vista.  The  one  drawback  for  the  majority  of 
sportsmen  and  a  salient  reason  why  the  region  is  not 
developed,  is  that  it  requires  a  knowledge  of  the  tule 
topography  and  a  compass  to  enable  one  to  get  at 
the  places  where  the  fish  are  to  be  found. 

The  few  local  anglers  who  have  been  lucky  enough 
to  be  piloted  into  the  hidden  recesses  of  the  district 
have  had  the  fishing  of  their  lives,  for  black  bass. 
Some  fourteen  miles  above  Rio  Vista,  via  Prospect 
slough  and  through  tortuous,  shallow  channels  devi- 
ating therefrom  can  be  found  ideal  black  bass  waters. 

including 


ence  of  ladies  will  surely  improve  the  tone  of  any 
form  of  healthful  open-air  sport,  and  therefore  sports- 
men must  always  strive  to  make  these  pastimes 
worthy  in  every  respect  of  their  attendance. 

At  the  recent  Northwest  Turnament  at  Portland, 
four  lady  shooters  were  on  the  firing  line.  While 
there  is  a  noticeable  attendance  of  the  fair  sex  at 
local  shoots,  with  the  exception  of  two  or  possibly 
three,  Mrs.  A.  M.  Shields  and  Mrs.  J.  B.  Hauer,  tin- 
indulgence  in  the  sport  of  trap  shooting  by  the  ladies 
is  at  present  somewhat  limited. 

On  the  contrary,  however,  the  attractions  of  upland 
and  marsh  are  strong  enough  to  induce  a  large  num- 
ber of  ladies  to  try  16  and  12  bores  on  both  ducks 
and  quail,  nor  are  the  skilled  riflewnmen  wanting  who 
can  drop  a  buck. 

From  present  indications,  it  is  safe  to  say,  that  the 
trap  shooting  boom  will  be  contagious,  and  we  antici- 
pate  seeing  a  number  of  ladies   at  gun    club   shoots

numerous.  They  are  a  fighting  band  of  scaly  rascals,

bass  and  other  smaller  varieties.  This  immense  sec- 
tion of  tule  overflowed  land,  bisected  by  innumerable 
creeks  and  sloughs  and  dotted  with  thousands  of 
ponds  is  a  veritable  spawning  and  breeding  ground 
for  the  fishes. 

A  party  of  four  local  anglers  landed  182  bass  in  a 
morning  and  evening  fishing  last  Sunday.  The  killing 
lure  was  a  "phantom  minnow"  with  treble  hooks — 
this  artificial  bait  was  used  by  the  party,  because 
it  is  in  vogue  with  the  natives  of  that  section. 


AT    THE    TRAPS. 

Previous  to  the  invention  of  flying  targets  trap 
shooting  could  hardly  be  considered  a  national  sport 
in  the  United  States.  Live  bird  shooting  had  a  fair 
number  of  devotees,  it  is  true,  but  the  events  of  im- 
portance in  this  line  could  be  summed  up  in  a  few 
state  tournaments  each  year  and  the  pigeon  matches 
between  experts,  with  an  occasional  team  race.  A 
glance  at  the  files  of  any  of  the  sportsmen's  journals 
of  twenty-five  years  ago  demonstrates  the  fact  that 
during  the  period  when  inanimate  target  shooting 
was  just  coming  itno  popularity  the  scores  of  both 
live    bird    and    flying    target    events    were    given    in 


minute  detail,  yet  the  trap  shooting  department  was 
The  fishing  of  the  district  briefly  described  above  is     seldom  crowded.    To  report  a  three  or  four-day  target 


destined  to  be  possibly  the  best  black  bass  angling 
resort  on  the  coast.  For  the  present  the  "natives," 
those  of  them  who  know  the  "ins  and  outs"  of  the 
territory,  are  intensely  jealous  of  the  intrusion  of 
outsiders,  as  they  call  them,  and  it  is  generally  with 
reluctance  that  a  city  sportsman  can  obtain  a  pilot 
to  the  mecca  of  the  black  bass  angler.  But  there  is 
one  consolation  for  the  rod  and  line  fraternity  and 
that  is,  now  that  the  veil  has  been  lifted,  even  for  a 
brief  peep  in.  the  promised  land  will  soon  be  as  an 
open  book  for  anglers  and  the  spirit  of  unsports- 
manlike intolerance  will  be  unavailing  in  keeping 
sportsmen  from  enoying  the  benefits  of  what  the 
State   Fish    Commission    originally   intended   for   the 


tournament  in  similar  manner  at  the  present  time, 
when  the  number  of  competitors  may  possibly  range 
from  100  to  200  would  fill  from  six  to  ten  pages,  and 
there  would  be  little,  if  any,  space  for  any  except 
the  leading  shoot  each  week.  Now,  the  problem  is 
to  do  justice  to  the  multiplicity  of  trap  shooting 
events,  and  this  can  only  he  done  by  a  system  of 
condensing  the  scores,  so  that  the  news  of  the  week 
may  be  placed  before  the  reader  in  such  manner  that 
the  department  will  give  him  the  results  in  concise 
rather  than  cumbersome  style.  Evenwith  this  system 
the  trap  scores  are  very  much  in  evidence  every  week 
in  the  year. 

At  the  present  time  the  relative  importance  of  live 

"ommunity  at  large  and  paid  for — not  for  the  selfish     bird  and  inanimate  target  shooting  is  the  reverse  of 

benefit    of   the   few,   who    are   blinded   by   their   own     ' 

ingnorance  and  narrow-mindedness. 


Trap  Shooting  for  Ladies. 

Great  has  been  the  increase  in  popularity  of  such 
open-air  recreations  as  field  and  trap  shooting  for 
ladies.  Those  who  have  once  tested  the  pleasure  and 
benefit  to  be  derived  by  participating  with  their  hus- 
bands or  brothers  in  field  shooting  usually  become 
enthusiastic  devotees  of  the  sport,  and  the  same  is 
true  of  shooting  at  the  traps.  As  a  tonic  for  the 
nervous  system  there  is  nothing  better  than  the  pure 
air  of  field  and  forest,  and  it  would  be  difficult  to  find 
a  better  incentive  than  that  of  following  a  good  brace 
of  dogs  Trap  shooting,  of  course,  lacks  in  several 
respects  the  exhilaration  of  shooting  in  the  field,  but 
it  is  easier  to  be  had  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  large 
cities,  and— except  in  chilling  winter  weather  in  the 
jcrorth — is  always  in  season,  which  cannot  be  said  of 
game-bird  shooting.  Therefore,  sport  at  the  traps 
can  be  highly  commended  for  ladies,  and  there  is 
cause  for  rejoicing  in  the  fact  that  so  many  of  the 
sex  are  adding  to  their  health  and  happiness  by 
participation  in  this  pastime.  Referring  to  the  benefit 
thus  derived,  Mrs.  Maud  K.  Butler,  of  Chanute,  Kan.— 
a  lady  of  social  and  intellectual  prominence— re- 
sponded as  follows  to  a  recent  letter  asking  informa- 
tion regarding  her  personal  experience  in  this  line 
"of  out-of-door  sports. 

"I  sincerely  wish  I  felt  capable  of  expressing  in 
such  impressive  language  of  how  much  real  pleasure 
and  real  physical  benefit  I  have  derived  from  the 
indulgence  that  any  number  of  ladies  would  be  in- 
spired to  learn  the  art  of  handling  a  gun.  I  have 
been  shooting  at  intervals,  few  and  far  between,  for 
several  years  for  the  enjoyment,  exclusively,  and  my 


the  condition  existing  a  little  more  than  a  quarter  of 
a  century  ago.  Then  live  bird  shooting — mainly  wild 
pigeons — was  the  principal  sport  in  the  line  of  trap 
shooting.  Now  inanimate  or  flying  target  shooting 
is  so  far  in  the  lead  that  the  distinctive  live  bird 
shoots  cut  but  a  small  figure.  This  is  partly  due  to 
the  extermination  of  the  wild  pigeons  and  the  expense 
of  securing  tame  pigeons,  while  inanimate  target 
shooting  is  easily  obtainable  in  almost  any  locality, 
at  slight   expense. 

The  influence  of  the  sportsmen's  press  has  done 
much  to  stimulate  the  sport  of  trap  shooting,  and  the 
Interstate  Association,  with  Elmer  E.  Shaner  as  an 
active,  efficient  field  marshal,  has  given  great  impetus 
to  this  recreation.  There  has  been  almost  a  phenom- 
enal increase  in  the  number  of  gun  clubs  during  the 
past  ten  years,  and  it  is  believed  this  development 
will  continue  in  like  ratio  for  many  years  to  come, 
as  it  affords  a  fair  substitute  for  field  shooting,  and 
the  gradual  decrease  in  the  game  bird  supply  will 
probably  cause  a  larger  proportionate  growth  of  trap 
shooting. 


The  Vallejo  Gun  Club  blue  rock  season  for  this 
year  closed  on  August  27th  with  a  merchandise  shoot. 
A  live  bird  shoot  is  scheduled  for  the  near  future  for 
the  wind-up  shoot.  The  Vallejo  club  has  had  an  en- 
thusiastic season  at  the  traps  and  is  in  a  flourishing 
condition  with  a  large  list  of  active  members  on  the 
roll. 

At  the  merchandise  shoot  mentioned  the  principal 
winners  were:  Clarke,  Mayfield,  O'Hara,  Hirschle. 
Comfort,  Burnett  and  Roney.  There  was  a  strong 
attendance  of  visiting  shooters.  The  list  of  prizes 
was  numerous  enough  to  give  each  one  of  twenty 
contestants  a  prize.     The  leading  scores  at  25  targets

An  example  to  be  followed  by  Coast  gun  clubs  is 
the  career  of  the.  Golden  Gate  Gun  Club  for  190o.  At 
the  seven  monthly  shoots  of  the  club  this  season,  $700 
was  distributed  in  cash  prizes  to  the  members— $100 
at  each  shoot,  divided  into  four  $25  purses,  one  for 
each  class.  Th»  club  still  has  a  creditable  balance 
in  treasury  for  a  starter  in  1906. 

The  classification  system  followed  this  year— divid- 
ing the  shooters  into  champion,  first,  second  and  third 
classes,  it  has  been  demonstrated,  was  a  strong  factor 
towards  creating  enthusiasm  and  maintaining  the  or- 
ganization's popularity  with  the  shooters  as  well  as 
arousing  general  interest  in  the  sport  of  blue  rock 
trap  shooting. 


Dan  Daniels  took  part  in  the  first  day's  events  at 
the  Interstate  Association  shoot  at  Denver,  August 
■>9th  lie  broke  181  out  of  200,  90.5  per  cent.,  as  fol- 
lows: 15-12,  15-13,  15-12.  15-15.  20-20,  20-20,  15-13, 
15-15,  15-14,  15-12,  20-19.  20-1S.  Not  so  bad  for  an 
engineer  Dan  stopped  at  Denver  on  his  return  from 
a  trip  further  east.  His  gun,  a  Greener,  broke  down 
on  the  second  day. 


The  initial  shoot  of  the  recently  organized  Santa 
Cruz  Rod  and  Gun  Club  took  place  on  the  club  trap 
grounds    at    Del    Mar.    August    27th.

British   Columbia   Field  Trial   Prospects. 

A  recent  Vancouver.  B.  C,  exchange  has  the  fol- 
lowing loi  al  announcement  relating  to  prospects  for 
miing  field  trials  of  the  British  Columbia  Field 
Trial   Club: 

Two  of  the  best-known  handlers  of  dogs  on  the 
I  '.-ast  were  in  town  yesterday  and  by  the  time  this 
is  read  will  be  on  Pitt  Meadows  working  their  dogs. 
Both  men  are  from  California  and  have  an  interna- 
tional reputation  as  trainers. 

W,  B.  Coutts  is  one  of  the  best-known  sportsmen  in 
California.  He  has  ten  dogs  of  the  bluest  of  blue 
bloods  with  him.  Four  are  Pointers  and  six  English 
Setters.  As  it  happens  four  of  his  string  will  be  en- 
tered in  the  Derby  and  six  in  the  All-Age  stake.  To 
put  it  more  -correctly  perhaps,  it  might  be  said  that 
the  dogs  are  not  yet  entered  but  if  they  turn  out  as 
Mr.  Coutts  hopes  they  will,  he  will  enter  them  in  that 
way.  The  list  of  dogs  and  the  breeding  is  enough  to 
make  a  man  who  knows  a  good  dog  from  a  mongrel, 
and  who  is  up  in  society,  get  up  from  his  seat  and  lift 
his  hat. 

This  is  Mr.  Coutfs  string:  For  All-Age  Stake- 
Mr.  J.  E.  Terry's  Kilgarif  by  Orion,  dam  Mary  Lou: 
Mr.  J.  H.  Schumacher's  Sir  Roderick,  sire  Detroit  Joe, 
dam  Dolores:  Mr.  J.  W.  Flynn's  Sabine's  Molly,  a 
Pointer  by  Toung  Rip  Rap,  dam  Mother  Sabine;  Mr. 
F.  H.  Shaw's  Countess  Lou.  by  Count's  Mark,  dam 
Mary  Lou:  Messrs.  Rose  &  Christenson's  Belfontaine, 
by  Count  Whiteside,  dam  Gracie  G.  Gladstone. 

This  is  the  list  of  the  probable  All-Age  entries  with 
Mr.  Coutts.  Here  are  the  younger  ones  which  will  be 
put  in  the  Derby: 

Mr.  W.  B.  Coutts'  Pointer  Tod  Sloan,  by  Bolin's 
Duke,  dam  Sloan's  "Whisper. 

Mr.  S.  Christenson's  Setter  Goliath,  sire  Kilgarif, 
dam  Maggie  F. 

Mr.  F.  D.  Schumacher's  Lady  Bell,  sire  Teddy  Hunt, 
dam  Jack's  Fanshon. 

Mr.  H.  Hopkins'  Aunt  Marie,  sire  Uncle  B..  dam 
Sport  Belle. 

Mr.  J.  E  Lucas  has  nine  with  him  Every  one  of 
the  dogs  looks  good  and  fit  and  from  appearances 
the  Vancouver  sportsmen  will  have  to  go  some  to 
carry  away  the  cups.  Mr.  Lucas  has  with  him  five 
probable  entries  for  the  All-Age  and  four  for  the 
Derby.     They  are: 

Mr.  J.  TV.  Considine's  Policy  Girl,  sire  Dave  Earle; 
dam.  Top's   Queen. 

Mr.  J.  E.  Lucas's  (agent)  Fandango,  sire  Dr.  Dan- 
iels,  dam  Fan  Go. 

Mr.  J.  E.  Lucas'  (agent)  Chiquita,  by  Dr.  Daniels- 
Fan   Go. 

Mr.  J.  W.  Considine's  Roxane,  sire  Champion  Lady's 
Count  Gladstone,   dam  Jessie  Rodfield. 

Mr.  J.  E  Lucas'  (agent)  by  Ch.  Lady's  Count  Glad- 
stone,   dam   Sports'   Destiny. 


The  Ingleside  grounds  are  being   rapidly   arranged 
for    the    accommodation    of   the    shooters   next    week. 
rrounds   will    be   open    for   practice   shooting  on 
Thur- 

It   Ik   proposed   to  hang  up  a   suitable   trophy  for  a 

;.en  to  all.     This  will  bring  a  coast  team 

. .  inst    the  Easterners  and   will   settle   the 

ion  "How  do  our  shooters  compare 

with    the    Eastern    (racks'."      This    will    be    an    extra 

it   and  a  lively  one  it  promises  to  be. 


Following  the  Interstate  Association  shoot,  oi 

1Mb   there  will  be   a  live  bird  shoot   on   the 
in   which   the   Easterners  will   grass   pigeons 
with  the  local  shooters. 


The  entries  we  are  informed  will  probably  make  the 
show    a    four-point    show. 

There  will  be  a  large-  attendance  of  fanciers  from 
this  city  at  the  open  air  show.  A  number  of  recent 
doggy  arrivals  will  be  benched  and  a  surprise  or  two 
is  expected  from  the  dark  'uns. 


Field   Trials   and    California   Quail. 

"W.  B.  Coutts  in  a  recent  letter  from  Vancouver, 
B.  C.  to  the  Sportsman's  Review,  says: 

I  just  arrived  in  this  part  of  Canada  a  few  days 
ago  to  take  part  in  the  trials,  and  where  I  am  located 
to  train,  the  first  game  bird  I  saw  was  a  California 
quail,  on  Sula  Island,  B.  C,  and  I  was  delighted  to 
see  my  little  friend,  the  top-not,  so  far  north.  I  am 
informed  there  is  quite  a  few  of  them  showing  up 
along  the  deltas  of  the  Fraser  River. 

It  seems  this  is  about  the  extreme  end  of  their 
northern  habitat,  and  the  further  south  one  goes  they 
get  more  numerous.  Even  south  of  California,  down 
into  New  and  Old  Mexico,  they  are  found  in  great 
numbers. 

We  have  two  species  in  California — the  mountain 
quail  and  the  valley  quail.  The  mountain  birds  are 
slightly  the  largest,  with  the  prettiest  plumage,  and 
are  considered  the  best  table  bird,  but  as  they  inhab:: 
the  mountain  mostly  in  high  cover  they  don't  afford 
very  good  sport  with  either  Setter  or  Pointer. 

The  valley  birds  are — or  what  is  termed  the  blue 
quail,  or  the  top-not — perhaps,  the  second  best  bird 
of  the  quail  species  in  America,  next  to  the  Bob  White, 
to  give  a  good  sport  with  dog  and  gun. 

So  far  north  as  British  Columbia  the  country  is 
too  brushy  to  expect  good  work  with  pointing  dogs 
on  this  bird,  but  take  it  in  California  and  south  all 
along  the  Pacific  Slope,  this  little  game  bird  is  found 
in  most  all  kinds  of  cover,  alders,  willow  creeks,  acres 
of  grain  fields,  in  vineyards,  in  every  little  corner, 
on  hill  sides,  but  the  best  sport  is  obtained  on  the 
deserts  owing  to  the  short  sage  in  Southern  California 
and  south  into  the  other  states.  In  the  winter  season 
they  are  found  in  very  large  bevies,  in  fact,  it  may 
be  termed  bands  of  birds,  from  100  to  1200  in  one  band. 
Such  bands  as  this  don't  lay  good  to  a  dog  on  first 
Hush,  but  after  they  are  flushed  out  in  low  sage  one 
can  work  on  them  for  hours,  and  get  the  finest  kind 
of  point  work  and  shooting  over  a  good  staunch  dog. 

The  Pacific  Coast  field  trials  are  run  on  such  country 
as  1  mention — large  fields  with  low  sage  for  the  birds 
to  hide  in.  A  good  dog  will,  perhaps,  have  from  one 
to  ten  or  perhaps  twelve  birds  to  his  point.  Many 
people  say  after  a  band  of  birds  are  once  flushed  out 
and  scattered  that  a  dog  cannot  have  a  bevy  point, 
but  I  for  one  claim  that  if  a  dog  has  four  or  more 
birds  to  his  point  you  cannot  call  it  a  single,  so  what 
are   you    going   to   call   it? 

The  valley  quail  lay  good  to  dogs,  give  out  good 
nd  they  are  very  fast  flyers,  hard  to  hit.  and 
are  very  strong  for  their  size,  but  it  takes  a  hunter 
to   understand  their  habits  to  obtain  good   sport. 


Feudner.  Bmll  Holling  and  possibly  E.  E. 
S  Wattles  will  attend  the  Medford  shoot  • 
,  the  22nd  and  23rd. 


Dd    tomorrow  there  will,  without   doubt,  be 
a   big  crowd   on   the  Empire  grounds.     The   program 
i  attractive  one  and  the  list  of  mei 
i, amorous  to  mention. 


Major   J.   M.    Taylor   left   New   York  last   week   for 

Vancouver.   B.    C,    where   he   will   judge    the   British 

Columbia  trials  on  the  21st  Inst,  at  Ladnor.     He  will 

also  act-  in  the  saddle  at  the  Pacific  Northwest  trials 

Conner  Flats,  beginning  October  12th. 


MIXED    PICKLES.

;r- 


Prospects  for  Trout  Fishing  in  Santa  Cruz  county 
in  the  future  are  most  propitious.  Thousands  of  young 
fish  at  the  hatchery  and  not  enough  help  to  distribute' 
them.  This  is  the  situation  in  a  nutshell,  as  de- 
scribed by  Superintendent  Shebley  of  the  Brookdale 
hatchery.  Mr.  Shebley  has  twenty-eight  tanks  of 
running  young  steelhead,  all  ready  to  be  placed  iqi 
the  streams  of  the  county.  He  is  anxious  to  get  rid 
of  these  fish,  so  as  to  make  room  for  the  salmon  eggs, 
with  which  it  is  proposed  to  stock  the  waters  of 
Monterey  Bay.  and  will  give  fish  to  anyone  who  will 
take  the  trouble  to  stock  their  local  streams, 

Three  large  outdoor  tanks  for  yearling  fish  are  soo: 
to  be  built  in  the  hatchery  grounds,  so  that  broi 
fish  can  be  raised  for  exhibition  and  breeding  pu: 
poses.  Mr.  Shebley  is  putting  in  a  main  entrance  to 
the  grounds,  opposite  the  point  where  the  railroad 
platform,  which  Mr.  Judah  has  promised,  will  be  built 
A  cupola  wrill  also  be  put  -on  the  main  building  so 
as  to  take  up  the  dampness,  and  other  improvements 
are   steadily  going  forward. 

There  are  more  young  fish  in  the  creeks  of  Santa 
Cruz  county  to-day  than  have  been  known  for  years. 
This  is  bringing  many  anglers  to  the  district  and" 
many  visitors  to  Brookdale  and  Ben  Lomond.  The 
only  difficulty  is  in  raising  the  money  to  keep  the 
good  work  going.  The  Southern  Pacific  is  contribut- 
ing $100  per  month  to  the  hatchery,  the  Supervisors 
have  appropriated  considerable  money  for  the  same 
purpose,  but  still  more  money  is  needed.  As.  Mr. 
Shebley  said,  "There  are  300  000  trout  in  the  hatchery 
today  which  ought  to  be  in  the  streams,  if  we  only 
had  the  funds." 

The   prospects   are  good,   however,   that  the  county 
will  be  able  to  afford  the  necessary  assistance  before 
very  long.    Fred  H.  Pray  and  Supervisor  Ralph  Milh 
of  Santa  Cruz  can  truly  be  called  the  fathers  of  t: 
hatchery.     They  have  solicited  private  subscription 
given  their  own  time  and  money  for  the  purpose  ana 
with  Judge  Logan,   who  gave  the  site,  and   Superin- 
tendent  Shebley   himself,    deserve    the   credit   for  the 
fact  that  Santa  Cruz  county  has,  a  fish  hatchery  today. 

Game  Warden  Reed  has  been  engaged  this  week 
in  stocking  with  fish  from  the  Brookdale  hatchery 
on  the  west  fork  of  the  Soquel  creek  and  Bean 
creek.  About  25,000  were  placed  in  these  streams 
today.  Next  week  he  will  be  engaged  in  placing 
trout  in  Scott's  and  Waddell  creeks.  The  fish  for 
Scott's  will  be  placed  in  the  stream  at  the  headwaters 
in  the  little  basin  and  Waddell's  in  the  big  basin. 

Sempervirsns  creek  and  the  stream  at  the  GoveJ 
nor's  camp  are  also  to  be  stocked.  Mr.  Reed  expects 
to  place  some  200,000  fish  in  these  streams  next  week. 
This  will  make  fishing  in  the  big  basin  great  sport. 

The  streams  in  the  county  that  have  been  stocki 
are  the  San  Lorenzo  river,  Soquel  creek  and  the  se 
eral  forks  and  the  following  creks:  Boulder,  Bear, 
Newell,  Clara,  Love,  Zyante,  Lampicos,  Bean,  Soquei, 
Aptos,  Valencia,  Corralitos,  Brancifort.  Waddells, 
Purdy.  Big.  Little,  Scott's,  San  Vicente,  Liddells,  Mora 
Cojo,  Wilders,  Meder  and  Majors. 


Eel  River  Fishing  was  excellent  about  the  middle 
of  August  for  a  report  from  Eureka  states  that  ang'.ers 
returning  from  the  river  on  the  14th  of  the  month 
were  in  a  happy  frame  of  mind.  Everybody  reported 
big  catches  and  the  interior  of  the  basktes  of  a  ma- 
jority showed  that  they  had  the  goods.  Among  those 
who  enjoyed  a  fine  day's  sport  were  P.  W.  Mathews 
and  C.  P.  Soule.  who  returned  with  twenty-five,  many 
of  them  fine,  large  steelhead.  Dr.  E.  A.  Montague 
and  Attorney  W.  F.  Clybourne  landed  nine,  one  being 
a  steelhead  weighing  ten  pounds,  while  the  remainder 
were  half  poud  trout.  The  latter  were  very  gamey 
and  furnished  much  sport.  There  were  many  other 
anglers  on  the  river  and  only  in  a  few  instances  were 
the  catches  reported  to  be  bad. 


The  San  Mateo  Kennel  Club  show  opens  to-day  near 
San  Maleo,   at  the  polo  field  of  Mr.  Chas.  W.  Clark. 


Attacked  by  a  Couger  was  the  thrilling  experience 
of  Hiram  Williams  of  Cummings,  Mendocino  county, 
a  week  ago  today,  according  to  a  press  dispatch. 
Williams  was  out  deer  hunting  and  while  resting  at 
the  foot  of  a  rocky  butte  and  intently  watching  an 
object  farther  down  the  gulch,  which  appeared  to  be 
a  buck,  he  had  a  very  narrow  escape  from  being 
killed   by   a   mountain   lion. 

Several  stones  rolling  past  him  finally  attracted  his 
attention  to  things  nearer  at  hand,  and.  on  looking 
around,  he  was  confronted  by  a  huge  cougar  or  moun- 
tain lion.  On  the  impulse  of  the  moment  he  dis- 
charged his  rifle  just  as  the  beast  sprang  at  him,  out 
the  bullet  only  wounded  the  creature.  The  accuracy 
of  its  spring  was  interrupted,  however,  and  the  lion 
struck  just  beside  him  and  knocked  him  over.  The 
animal  was  on  him  in  a  second  and  a  fight  for  life 
was  begun.  Williams,  who  is  a  very  powerful  man. 
succeeded  in  holding  the  infuriated  animal  at  bay 
until  he  could  reach  his  rifle,  and,  pressing  the  muzzle 
against  its  side,  succeeded  in  discharging  a  shot  that 
put  the  animal  out  of  business.  The  lion  measured 
nine  feet  from  tip  to  tip. 

This  was  a  most  unusual  course  for  the  animal  to 
take,  for  as  a  rule  they  are  very  cowardly  and  will 
not  molest  a  man;  possibly  the  big  feline,  true  lo 
the  sneaking  instinct  of  the  cat  tribe,  tried  to  sialk| 
him   unawares. 

Good  Hunting  and  Fishing  territory  can  be  had 
in  a  mountainous  zone  found  in  northern  Humboldt 
and  southern  Mendocino  counties.  Phil  B.  Bekeart

week  after  enjoying  an  outing  trip  of  ten  days  will] 
a  party  of  other  sportsmen  composed  of  Life  Ball 
a  resident  of  the  district,  Bob  Kerr,  Fred  Webster 
of  Albion,  Clarence  Ward,  Jack  Baird  and  Orral 
Humphrey  of  San  Francisco.  Camp  was  pitched  near 
a  place  called  Harris  in  a  country  full  of  game — 
bucks  in  plenty,  the  mountain  quail  and  grouse  shoot- 
ing, when  the  season  opens,  will  be  as  good  as  any 
sportsman  could  desire.  In  streams  within  a  few 
miles  of  camp  good  catches  of  nice  trout  were  made 
time  and  again.  When  Mr."  Bekeart  left,  the  bag 
was  seven  large  bucks,  and  the  full  limit  could  have 
been  bagged  by  the  hunters  had  they  been  at  all 
over  anxious.  One  big  four  point  buck  was  sent 
down  to  the  Family  Club  in  this  city.  A  banquet 
this  evening  will  be  duly  celebrated  and  the  buck 
will  be  an  honored  and  appreciated  visitor  at  the 
board.  The  buck  was  sent  to  the  club  by  Bekeart. 
Ward  and  Humphrey. 

Over  200  pounds  of  venison  was  jerked  and  packed 
up  ready  for  bringing  in  to  the  city  before  Bekeart 
left. 


Southern  California  Garr.e  conditions  are  better  right 
now  than  during  any  summer  since  1902. 

j  The  statement  is  not  made  at  random,  as  many 
such  predictions  are,  but  is  based  upon  a  painstaking 
average  of  the  reports  brought  in  by  representative 
and  well-posted  sportsmen  of  experience,  who  are

Tv»  •iver-.is'e  hunter  is  a  hopeful  sort  of  cuss,  and

Such  sportsmen   as   Charles   A.   Loud   of  Encinitas.

Knight,  Jr.,  of  San  Bernardino,  Joe  Mitchell  of  Glen

Diego  are  not  only  qualified  to  pass  upon  the  state 
of  the  game,  but  equally  important,  are  men  who  can 
be  reiied  upon.  When  they  all  agree  that  there  are 
three  young  quail  this  year  to  one  seen  at  the  same 
time  last  season,  one  is  willing  to  believe  it,  and 
ready  to  take  the  statement  at  face  value. 
Charlie  Loud,  who  trains  dogs,  and  shoots  a  great 

'deal  in  season  on  his  place  in  San  Diego  county,  was 

.in  town  last  week  with  most  rosy  reports  of  sport- 
ing  prospects    that   cannot  fail    to    stir   the   blood   of 

'the   laiest   quail   hunter. 

"In  my  section  of  the  country  I  am  satisfied  there 
are  ten  young  birds  for  every  one  that  was  to  be 
found  in  August  last  year,"  says  Mr.  Loud.

A    New   Winchester    Rifle. 

The  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Co.  announces 
through  their  advertisement  a  new  gun  called  the 
Model  1905  self-loading  rifle.  The  new  rifle  is  made 
in  .32  and  .35  calibres,  the  cartridges  being  of  the 
modern  smokeless  powder  type,  and  are  furnished 
with  either  full  metal  patched  or  soft  point  bullets. 
The  ballistic  data  given  in  the  announcement  indi- 
cates that  the  new  cartridges  are  desirable  both  for 
hunting  and  target  shooting.  The  operation  of  this 
rifle  should  not  be  confounded  with  that  of  machine 
guns,  which  reload  and  fire  to  the  extent  of  their 
magazine's  capacity  without  stopping  after  the  trig- 
ger is  first  pulled.  In  using  the  Winchester  self- 
loading  rifle,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  pull  the 
trigger  for  each  shot,  which  places  its  operation  as 
completely  under  the  control  of  the  operator  as  that 
of  any  repeating  rifle.  The  self-loading  system  per- 
mits rapid  shooting  with  great  accuracy,  and  on  ac- 
count of  the  ease  and  novelty  of  its  operation  adds 
much  to  the  pleasure  of  shooting  at  either  target  or 
game.  The  Winchester  Model  1905  self-loading  rifle 
is  made  with  blued  trimmings  and  a  plain  walnut 
stock  and  forearm  not  checked.  The  barrel  is  round, 
22  inches  long  and  is  fitted  with  sporting  front  and 
rear  sights.  Octagon  or  half-octagon  barrels,  or  bar- 
rels longer  than  22  inches  cannot  be  furnished  for 
this  rifle.  The  stock  is  14  inches  long  and  furnished 
with  a  rubber  butt  plate;  drop  at  comb,  1%  inches; 
drop  at  heel,  2*4  inches;  length  of  gun  over  all,  40 
inches.  Fancy  walnut  stocks  and  forearms,  plain. or 
fancy  walnut  pistol  grip  stocks  checked  or  unchecked, 
and  stocks  having  special  length  or  drop  can  be  fur- 
nished for  this  gun  when  so  ordered  at  the  same 
prices  as  for  other  models         


IT   IS  WHAT   HE   DIGESTS. 


Writing  on  the  feeding  and  overfeed- 
ng  of  horses.  Veterinarian  A.  S.  Alex- 
ander says:  It  is  perfectly  safe  to  as- 
ert  that  thousands  of  work  horses 
.re  injured  by  kindness. 

The  owner  thinks  that,  because  his 
earn  is  hard  worked,  it  ought  to  be 
ieavily  fed,  but  he  forgets  that  it  is 
tot  what  the  horse  eats,  but  what  it 
igests,  that  counts.  This  is  especially 
he  case  in  summer,  when  there  is 
iuch  field  work  to  be  done  and  little 
ime  in  which  to   do  it. 

The  horse  hurries  home,  hot  and 
reary,  receives  all  he  can  "hog"  and 
oes  out  to  the  water  trough,  where 
e  fills  up  with  water  and  goes  on  to 

ork  again.  First  of  all,  his  stomach 
as  not  in  fit  condition  for  food  re- 
eption. 

The  fatigued,  hot,  sweaty  horse  can 
ot  digest  food.  He  needs  a  rest  first 
nd  then  a     drink     of     water,     which 

sees  through  his  stomach  and  stays 
,  i  the  large  intestines. 

If  he  eats  grain  and  then  drinks 
ater,  the  food  Is  largely  washed  out 
y  the  water  and  passes  to  the  small 
ad  large  intestines  in  which  the  food 

not  digested,  but  decomposes,  gives 
d  gas  and  thus  sets  up  more  or  less 
isturbance   and   distress. 

In  these  circumstances  a  horse  Is 
:>t  properly  fed  with  six  quarts  of  oats 
i  nd  all  the  bay  he  can  gobble  In  the 
;  lort  interim  of  the  noon  hour.  He 
as  been   fed,  to   be   sure,   but  he  has 


derived  little  benefit  from  his  food. 

All  the  benefit  derived  comes  from 
the  portion  of  the  food  digested,  and 
that  is  very  small  when  there  is  not 
sufficient  time  to  masticate  properly 
and  then  digest  normally. 

In  the  busy  season  the  work  horse 
should  have  small  amounts  of  concen- 
trated, nutritious  food,  just  such  an 
amount  as  he  can  masticate  and  digest. 
When  corn  is  fed,  it  adds  fuel  to  the 
heat  of  his  body  and  does  not  supply 
ihe  strength  and  vigor  he  most  re- 
quires. That  comes  from  oats,  and 
time  is  needed  for  their  mastication. 

Hay  is  unnecessary  and  actually  in- 
jurious when  fed  at  noon.  It  is  not 
digested  while  the  horse  is  at  work. 

It  does  not  remain  in  the  stomach, 
but,  like  water,  passes  through  into 
the  large  intestines,  where  it  lies  inert 
or  decomposing  until  a  period  of  rest 
promotes  the  normal  process  of  diges- 
tion. 

On  general  principales  it  will  pay  to 
cut  in  half  the  ration  now  being  fed 
to  work  horses,  provided  they  have  but 
little  time  to  masticate  and  digest  their 
food.  This  will  be  found  remedial 
where  horses  are  evidently  panting 
when  at  work,  or  having  a  tendency 
to  diarrhoea 

They  will  do  better  on  less  food  for 
the  reason  that  they  digest  a  greater 
proportion  of  Its  nutrients.  Hay  In 
summer  time  should  be  fed  very  early 
in  the  morning  and  again  at  night,  at 
which  time  the  horse  may  have  alt  he 
wants.  Allow  the  drinking  water  be- 
fore meals. 


LONG   POULTRY  YARDS. 


The  cheapest  way  to  grow  poultry 
is  on  pasture,  and  the  most  convenient 
way  to  supply  the  pasture  is  to  have  a 
yard  long  enough  to  plow.  It  costs 
something  to  fence  a  yard,  but  when 
the  fence  is  once  up  it  lasts  for  years 
and  the  amount  of  feed  that  may  be 
grown  in  such  a  yard  returns  an  an- 
nual dividend  sufficient  to  pay  big  in- 
terest on  the  investment. 

The  width  of  the  yard  matters  lit- 
tle, only  that  it  costs  more  to  fence 
the  same  amount  of  ground  into  nar- 
row yards,  but  when  the  work  is  done 
i  lie  long,  narrow  yards  are  more  satis- 
factory. Twenty  feet  wide  is  sufficient 
to  turn  a  pair  of  horses  when  plowing. 

Therefore  if  a  poultry  yard  is  20  feet 
wide  and  300  yards  long  it  may  be 
back  furrowed  one  time  and  the  fur- 
row turned  to  the  fence  the  next  time. 

By  plowing  in  September  and  sow- 
ing a  mixture  of  wheat  and  rye  it  i.- 
quite  possible  to  have  an  abundance 
of  pasture  during  the  winter  months 
when  snow  is  not  too  plentiful.  As 
soon  as  the  ground  is  dry  enough  in 
the  spring  the  yard  may  be  replowed 
and  planted  to  oats  and  peas,  which 
will  furnish  a  great  deal  of  feed  dur- 
ing the  late  spring  and  eaiiv  summer 
months  In  June  or  July  the  ground 
i,  hi  again  plowed  and  planted  to 
rape,  several  kinds  of  turnip,  millet. 
buckwheat,  cabbage,  and  kale. 

Some  of  this  stuff  may  be  fenced  off 
and  permitted  to  make  crop  for  win- 
ter.     The    kale    Is    especially    valuable 


for  late  fall  feeding  for  frost  does  not 
hurt  it.  For  the  same  reason  turnips 
are  very  valuable  as  they  furnish 
greens  all  winter.  It  is  almost  impos- 
sible to  get  too  many  kinds  of  vegeta- 
tion in  the  chicken  yard,  even  weeds 
are  relished  and  often  picked  at  in 
preference  to  the  finest  clover.  The 
many  miserable,  little  dirty  chicken 
yards  seen  about  the  country,  should 
suggest   improvements  along  this   line. 


Hogs  are  built  to  root.  They  get  a 
good  share  of  their  living  that  way. 
Hogs  root  where  they  find  something. 
usually  grubs  and  roots  that  supply 
needed  elements  not  found  above 
ground.  Hogs  grow  rapidly  and  thej 
need  mineral  matter  as  well  as  flesh 
and  fat  building  material.  If  hogs  dig 
up  pasture  ground  it  is  because  they 
find  grubs  among  the  grass  roots ;  it 
Is  worth  something  to  have  them  de- 
stroyed ami  the  pasture  grows  bi 
after  the  ground  has  been  turned  over. 


The  hatch  of  good  butter  is  o 
spoiled  because  it  is  permitted  to  stand 
too  long,  and  because  when  the  butter 
has  come  it  does  not  remain  long 
enough  in  the  cold  water  to  harden. 
The  milk  cannol  be  worked  out  unless* 
the  butter  is  hard,  and  too  much  v 
will    slay    In. 

When    greasing    a    buggy    or    wa

ed    (torn   the    state    in    one 
Mj    opinion  is  that  twice  this  number 
is  were  branded  and  the  number 
of  horses  must  be  increasing. 

There  is  a  disposition  among  horse 
owners  to  Lay  and  breed  very  much 
bettc  "ave    ever 

efore.  I  believe  as  good  a 
horse  can  be  bred  on  the  : 
i  blood  lines  being  the  - 
as  anywhere  in  the  world.  The  tend- 
ency ot  our  ranchmen  is  to  care  for 
their  horses  in  the  winter.  In  a  short 
time  we  will  be  raising  grainfed  horses 
which,  I  think,  will  compare  favor- 
ably with  any  in  the  United  States. 
I  think  the  number  of  horses  sold  and 
shipped  out  of  the  state  this  year  will 
be  equally  as  large  as  last.  Most  of 
the  horses  sold  at  Missouri  and  Mis- 
sissippi river  markets  come  from 
Idaho.  Nevada.  Utah  and  Oregon,  with 
some  from  Colorado  and  New  Mexico. 

At  a  recent  sale  I  sold  seventy-five 
branded  horses  for  one  owner  at  an 
average  of  $106  a  head.  These  horses 
were  shipped  from  the  western  part 
of  Montana  and  weighed  1200  to  1500 
pounds.  A  carload  of  extra  good  two- 
year-old  colts  sired  by  a  Shire  stallion 
brought  $61.  Some  Indian  ponies  went 
as  low  as  SS  and  common  scrub  year- 
lings for  $15,  with  two-year-olds  at 
$17  and  $1S.  Matured  horses  and 
mares,  unbroken,  sold  at  $20  for  S50- 
pound  stock,  up  to  $75  for  1200-pound 
horses.  I  consider  these  prices  are 
about  the  same  as  last  year.  They  are 
unusually  good  and  as  the  horses  are 
sold  at  auction  and  the  prices  are  made 
entirely  by  Eastern  buyers  who  attend 
we  suppose  they  must  be  satisfactory 
to    them. 

Broken  horses  sell  from  $5  to  $10  a 
head  higher  than  the  wild  ones.  Dif- 
ferent divisions  of  the  country  prefer 
different  types  of  range  stock.  Buyers 
from  Minnesota.  Wisconsin  and  Penn- 
sylvania take  good,  heavy  mares  and 
geldings.  Feeders  in  Iowa.  Illinois  and 
Ohio  want  large  framed  geldings  to 
fatten  for  market.  Missouri,  Tennes- 
see and  Kentucky  take  first-class 
mares  suitable  for  breeding  purposes. 
Southern  dealers  purchase  a  light 
grade  of  rangers  at  lower  prices  than 
corn  belt  buyers  pay.  Alabama  and 
Louisiana  take  great  numbers  of  such 
animals.  We  have  shipped  rangers  as 
fear  East  as  Vermont.  Lately  our 
ranchmen  have  proved  good  buyers  of 
stock  too  thin  to  go  East.  This  class

during    warm    weather. 

See  that  they  are  not  obliged  to 
heir  feed  in  filth  or  mud,  and 
is  still  worse,   in  the  dust. 

7.  Never  feed  on  an  exclusive  corn 
diet. 

8.  Do  not  inbreed. 

See  that  their  surroundings  are 
kept  clean.  In  warm  weather  dust 
fresh  lime  around  any  places  that  are 
apt  to  give  off  a  stench. 

I  keep  the  following  mixture  in  a 
dry  place,  where  they  can  help  them- 
selves the  year  round:  One  load  ashes, 
100  pounds  salt,  fifty  pounds  sulphur, 
twenty  pounds  copperas,  one  barrel 
lime;  mix  thoroughly.  In  addition,  I 
often  feed  charcoal  and  soft  coal. 

In  our  opinion  some  exceedingly  im- 
portant points  are  touched  on  above, 
will  take  exception  to  the  state- 
that  fattening  hogs  should  not  be 
fed  on  an  exclusive  corn  diet.  How- 
ever, we  think  that  the  majority  of 
successful  swine  breeders  will  indorse 
Mr.  Henry's  view. 

Fattening  hogs  fed  a  straight  corn 
ration  are  very  apt  to  finish  up  with- 
out making  sufficient  size.  If  they  are 
fed  such  by-products  as  tankage,  oil 
meal  or  shorts,  it  is  surprising  how 
hogs  under  a  year  old  will  grow  and 
at  the  same  time  thicken  in  flesh. 

An  excellent  idea  is  to  feed  some 
form  of  slop  at  noon  if  the  hogs  are 
fed  their  heavy  grain  rations  night 
and  morning,  although  some  believe  in 
the  practice  of  feeding  the  slop  first 
thing  in  the  morning  and  afterwards 
allowing  the  hogs  to  have  a  liberal 
ration  of  corn. 

A  slop  composed  of  corn  meal  and 
shorts  and  especially  so  if  to  this  is 
added  a  little  oil  meal  and  tankage, 
will  contribute  to  rapid  and  economical 
gains. 


DANGER     FROM     INFECTED 
CATTLE. 


THE  WAY  IT  IS  DONE. 


A    METHOD   OF   FATTENING    HOGS. 

Mr.  Forest  Henry,  writing  on  the 
above  subject  in  the  Minnesota  Farm- 
ers' Institute  report,  advises  the  hog 
breeder  to  get  all  the  growth  possible 
while  warm  weather  lasts.  Feed  lib- 
erally while  it  is  good  weather 
Mr.  Henry,  even  though  it  takes  lots 
of  corn,  but  do  not  let  the  brood  sows 
run  in  with  the  drove  that  is  being  fed 
for  market,  as  they  get  too  fat.  thus 
endangering  their  breeding  qualities. 
Continuing,   Mr.  Henry  says: 

While  your  pen  of  hogs  is  changing 

so   much  corn  into   pork  look  out  for 

ealth  of  your  herd.     This  is  the 

time  swine  plague  and  hog  cholera  get 

in  their  work. 

I    cannot    give    you    a    positive 
ventlve    for    the  ses,    but    this 

much    Is    certain:     Anything    that   will 
keep   your  herd   in   a   healthful 
lion    is    a    preventive  of  that  dreadful 
disease,  and  at  the  same  lime  wi] 
twice  its  cost  In  the  general   thrift  of 
your   hogs. 

There    were    several     hundred     hogs 
that  died  In  our  neighborhood  la 

I  made  it  k  close  ob- 

atlon  and  laid  down  these  n

WHAT  SKIM  MILK  IS  WORTH. 


Xo  other  question  has  evolved  a 
greater  variety  in  answers  and  we 
have  seen  is  valued  all  the  way  from 
five  cents  up  to  sixty  cents  for  feed- 
ing  calves   or  hogs. 

The  first  evidence  is  of  course  prima- 
facie  evidence  that  the  man  making  it 
does  not  know  his  business:  and  the 
last  estimate,  while  we  know  it  is  all 
true,  was  made  under  specially-  favor- 
able conditions,  the  milk  being  fed  to 
veal  calves  for  just  one  month. 

In  feeding  skim  milk  its  value  de- 
pends both  on  the  age  of  the  animals 
to  which  it  is  fed  and  on  the  proper 
balancing  with  other  food. 

It  is  a  fundamental  fact  that  all 
feed  including  milk  is  worth  consider- 
ably more  the  younger  the  animals 
are,  and  Professor  Henry  in  his  valu- 
able book  on  "Feeds  and  Feeding*' 
shows  how  pigs  averaging  3S  pounds 
in  weight  only  required  293  pounds  of 
feed  for  100  pounds  of  gain,  and  those 
averaging  7S  pounds  required  400 
pounds,  while  those  weighing  320 
pounds  required  535  pounds  of  food  for 
100  pounds  of  gain  in  weight. 

As  regards  the  skim  milk,  its  value 
depends  on  the  intelligent  feeding. 
Thus,  to  quote  Professor  Henry  again, 
if  a  bushel  of  corn  is  worth  2S  cents, 
then  skim  milk  is  worth  15  cents  per 
100  pounds,  if  not  more  than  three 
pounds  of  milk  is  given  with  one 
pound  of  meal;  but  if  nine  pounds  of 
milk  is  given  to  one  pound  of  meal, 
the  value  is  reduced  to  nine  cents. 

All  intelligent  farmers  agree  that 
the  feeding  value  will  average  from  20 
to  25  cents  per  100  pounds,  and  to  this 
should  be  added,  at  least  5  cents  (the 
chemists  claim,  we  believe,  7  cents) 
for  its  manurial  value  when  fed  on 
the  farm. 

That  it  may  be  made  of  great  value 
under  certain  condition  is  illustrated 
by  the  fact  reported  in  Hoard's 
;  man  of  two  poultry  buying  con- 
-  in  Springfield.  Mo.,  buying  skim 
milk  at  40  cents  for  ten  gallons,  pay- 
ing 15  cents  a  can  freight  and  provid- 
ing the  cans,  making  it  cost  them,  with 
hauling  from  railroad  depot,  about  75 
cents  per  100  pounds.  This  has  been 
-■  on  for  two  years,  and  if  these 
firms  can  make  it  pay,  why  don't  the 
farmers  utilize  it  themselves  instead 
of  selling  it  for  10  or  15  cents  for  in- 
dustrial purposes? — New  York  Produce 
Review. 


Dr.  Foster,  of  the  State  Board  of 
Health,  in  an  interview  with  a  press 
representative  a  few  days  ago,  ex- 
pressed himself  as  being  strongly  of 
the  opinion  that  tuberculosis  was  to 
be  found  throughout  the  whole  of 
North  California.  While  there  were 
still  some  scientists  who  believed  that 
animal  tuberculosis  could  not  be  com- 
municated, the  consensus  of  scientific 
opinion  pointed  to  the  presence  of 
great  danger  to  the  community  from 
the  use  of  such  animals.  He  had  no 
hesitation  in  saying  that  this  was  a 
problem  of  first  importance  and  that 
the  general  health  demanded  its  solu- 
tion. 

In  answer  to  some  further  questions, 
Dr.  Foster  said  that  the  center  of  con- 
tagion was  undoubtedly  in  the  milk, 
especially  where  the  disease  was 
seated  in  the  udders,  as  was  very  com- 
monly the  case.  The  flesh  was  also  a 
medium  of  contagion,  but  this  to  a 
certain  extent  was  minimized;  first,  by 
the  fact  that  the  disease  usually  at- 
tacked organs  that  were  not  used  for 
food,  and  secondly,  by  the  cooking  pro- 
cesses that  would  tend  to  destroy 
bacteria.  Meat  that  was  undercooked 
might,  however,  prove  dangerous. 

Dr.  Foster  was  asked  if  he  wished 
it  to  be  understood  that  those  who 
drank  milk  from  tuberculous  cows 
were  therefrom  endangered,  and  if  we 
might  here  look  for  an  explanation  of 
the  increase  of  consumption.  He  re- 
plied in  the  affirmative  to  both  ques- 
tions. He  explained  that  to  drink 
milk  from  tuberculous  cows  was  to 
court  consumption,  but  that  the  dan- 
ger was  naturally  greatest  to  those 
who  were  in  poor  health  and  who  were 
therefore   unable  to   resist. 

Country  children  who  live  open  air 
lives  would  naturally  not  be  so  sub- 
ject as  the  children  of  the  cities,  who 
would  be  more  predisposed  to  such 
contagion.  It  must,  however,  be  re- 
membered that  the  seeds  of  consump- 
tion might  be  dominant  for  many 
years  until  the  health  became  weak- 
ened from  some  other  cause,  thus  giv- 
ing them  an  opportunity  to  take  root 
and  become  mischievous. 

Dr.  Foster  was  not  aware  that  there 
were  any  actual  statistics  showing  the 
extent  to  which  tuberculosis  prevailed 
among  cattle,  but  there  were  indica- 
tions that  pointed  to   75  per  cent. 

The  remedy,  the  doctor  pointed  out, 
lay  in  the  rigid  inspection  of  animals. 
The  tuberculin  test  ought  to  be  applied 
and  animals  found  to  be  affected  ought 
to  be  isolated,  neither  milk  nor  flesh 
being  used.  In  this  way  it  could  be 
stamped  out  and  a  great  danger  to 
the  public  health  be  avoided.  He  had 
himself  known  many  deaths  which  he 
would  have  no  hesitation  whatever  in 
attributing  to  the  use  of  milk  from 
tuberculous  cattle.  It  was  a  matter  of 
urgency  and  one  that  ought  not  to  be 
postponed. 


Cro  ires     should     never    be 

-  they  are  very  likely  to  repro- 

t'ne  worst  faults  of  both  families. 

-lug  a  pure  hull  an  Inferior  herd 

will  be  vastly  improved  in  a  few  years. 

It    is   not   sufficient,    however,    to   have 

purity    of   biood    alone,    for    the    bull's 

tors  must  have  been  good  butter 

producers. 


CATTLE    DIE    FROM    ANTHRAX. 


A  dispatch  from  Napa  says:  An- 
thrax, a  dread  disease  among  cattle, 
has  broken  out  on  several  farms  south- 
west of  Napa,  Last  week  A.  Callan 
lost  about  ten  head  of  cattle,  and  J. 
Carney  lost  eight  head  of  fine  cows. 
Dr.  Charles  Keane,  State  Veterinarian, 
was  in  Napa  looking  after  the  matter. 
Dr.  Keane  has  established  a  strict 
quarantine  of  the  stock  of  the  two 
ranches  in  question,  and  a  determined 
effort  is  being  made  to  stamp  out  the 
disease. 


DATES    FOR    WOOL   SALES. 
The  Sutter  and  Tuba  County  Wool 
Growers'  Association  has  set  Septem- 
ber 16th  and  October  21st  as  the  dates 
for  the  fall  wool  sales. 


Suppose  a  farmer  has  a  herd  of 
fairly  good  cows,  say  ten  in  number, 
that  are  each  returning  him  some 
profit,  but  not  much,  says  Farm  and 
Live  Stock  Journal.  He  gets  an  aver- 
age of  200  pounds  of  butter  annually, 
which  is  above  the  average  yield  of 
most  herds,  and  with  the  skim  milk 
and  manure  he  finds  the  business  fair- 
ly profitable.  But  he  finds  that  other 
dairymen  are  doing  much  better  than 
he  is,  through  getting  more  butter  per 
head  from  their  cows,  while  not  spend- 
ing much  more  for  feed.  He  concludes 
that  the  weak  spot  is  in  his  cows,  and 
he  decides  to  improve  his  herd  by 
breeding  some  cows  that  will  be  an  im- 
provement over  those  he  now  has.  He 
figures  out  that,  while  it  will  take  some 
time  to  do  this,  yet  in  the  end  it  is 
the  surest  way  of  getting  what  he 
wants.  So  he  buys  a  first  class  dairy 
bull  or  pays  a  neighbor  who  has  one 
for  its  service.  The  heifer  calves  an 
kept  and  raised,  and  when  they  come 
in  milk  he  finds  that  a  yield  of  over 
5,000  pounds  of  milk  annually  is  pos- 
sible and  that  he  can  make  an  average 
of  250  pounds  of  butter,  and  of  a  higher 
quality.  That  additional  fifty  pounds 
is  gained  at  the  cost  of  a  well  bred 
bull  and  a  very  slight  addition  to  the 
cost  of  feed.  The  cows  that  are  re- 
turning a  small  profit,  or  barely  pay- 
ing the  market  price  for  the  feed  they 
consume,  are  soon  replaced  by  those 
that  will  give  an  annual  addition  of 
$9  to  $10  per  head  to  the  farmer's  in- 
come. And  the  second  cross  of  a  good 
bull  of  any  of  the  dairy  breeds  will 
increase  the  income  half  as  much 
more  as  the  first  one. 

The  figures  given  are  not  large  ones 
— they  are  what  is  possible  to  every 
farmer  who  will  avail  himself  of  the 
improvement  that  has  been  made  in 
dairy  cows  by  years  of  careful  breed- 
ing and  steady  development,  which  he 
gets  at  a  very  light  cost.  He  can  keep 
on  improving  his  cows  in  the  same 
manner  until  he  gets  an  average  of 
100  pounds  of  butter  each  year  over 
what  his  original  herd  gave  him,  and 
if  he  has  ten  cows  the  extra  income 
will  be  quite  an  item. 


A  writer  says  he  has  never  found  any 
ration  equal  to  oats  for  keeping  hogs 
in  a  healthy  condition.  He  feeds  oats 
every  day  to  his  fattening  hogs,  about 
two  bushels  of  dry  oats  to  seventy  or 
seventy-five  fattening  hogs  are  put  in 
their  watering  trough,  and  they  will 
clean  up  every  oat  if  you  do  not  feed 
too  many  at  a  time.  It  is  cheaper  to 
feed  the  oats  whole,  as  the  hogs  do 
not  waste  any  that  way,  while  if  you 
have  them  ground  they  try  to  avoid 
the  hulls,  and  usually  waste  consider- 
able of  the  best  part  of  the  oats.  If 
you  have  anything  the  matter  with 
your  hogs  just  put  them  on  to  a  dry 
oats  diet  and  water,  and  see  how 
quickly  they  will  come  around  all 
right.

John  R.  Gentry,  manager  of  the 
Overton  Farms,  near  Nashville,  Tenn., 
in  an  address  on  swine  raising,  gave 
the  following  formula  for  curing  the 
famous  Virginia  hams.  He  said: 
"Now,  as  regards  their  curing  and  the 
peculiar  taste  that  you  get  in  those 
hams,  I  think  it  is  due  to  the  old  black 
mammy  that  carries  it  on  and  treats 
them  just  as  you  and  I  would  do  if  we 
knew  how — that  is,  simply  to  treat 
them  in  a  rational  manner,  not  intro- 
duce any  foreign  substance  into  them. 
They  are  simply  cured  in  dry  salt,  then 
buried  in  ashes,  taken  out  and  washed 
in  thoroughly  scalded  water  in  which 
there  is  a  little  red  pepper,  dried  in 
wheat  bran  and  hung  up  in  the  top  of 
the  cabin  and  smoked  with  hickory 
wood.  Then  they  are  taken  out  and 
buried  in  ashes  again,  wrapped  up 
paper,  and  sold."

A  cow  of  about  1000  pounds  weight 
can  eat  100  pounds  of  grass  or  ita 
equivalent  per  day,  and  it  takes  sixty 
pounds  of  that  to  keep  up  the  system, 
that  is,  the  temperature  and  repair 
waste  of  tissue  which  is  consequently 
taking  place.  It  is  only  what  is  eaten 
over  that  sixty  pounds  which  goes  to 
produce  profit  in  the  form  of  either 
meat  or  milk.  Then  if  a  cow  only  gets 
eighty  pounds  of  feed  she  is  only  pro- 
ducing half  the  profit  she  is  capable 
of.  From  this  it  will  be  seen  that  the 
necessity  for  providing  abundance  of 
feed  in  some  form  or  other,  and  the 
folly  of  keeping  more  cattle  than  can 
be  fully  fed. 


A  bull  should  be  taught  to  lead  by 
a  ring  in  his  nose  before  he  is  a  year 
old,  and  when  turned  a  year  old  may 
be  allowed  to  serve  a  few  heifers.  He 
should  always  be  in  good  condition, 
and  this  applies  to  all  young  stock. 
They  should  never  be  allowed  to  fall 
low  in  condition,  or  they  receive  a 
check  from  which  they  never  recover. 
Bulls,  when  required  for  service  (and 
this  applies  to  sires  of  all  classes) 
should  be  liberally  fed  on  food  rich 
in  protein,  such  as  clover  and  bran.

HAMMfcRLESS     SPORTING     RIFLE 

The  smooth  and  easy  action  of  this  Rifle  is  the  wonder  of  all 
sportsmen  who  have  fired  it-  It's  a  Repeating  Rifle— the  maga- 
f  zlne  holds  six  cartridges  The  cartridges  lie  side  by  side— not 
end  to  end— can  t  be  exploded  by  jamming.  HammerleBs— there 
is  no  flying  hammer  to  distract  the  aim.  Perfectly  balanced- 
the  center  of  gravity  remains  constant, 
which  isn't  true  of  other  makes.  Absolute 
safety  from  explosion  of  defective  shells— 
the  operator  Is  protected  by  a  solid  wall  of 
steel— steel  made  especially  for  us.

A  TROTTING  TRACK  in  close  proximity  to  San 
Francisco  is  sadly  needed.  A  high  class  harness  race 
meeting  could  be  given  here  every  year  if  there  were 
a  suitable  track  to  race  over,  and  a  good  program 
would  draw  a  large  attendance.  The  sport  is  as 
popular  as  ever  but  there  is  no  place  to  race.  The 
new  three-quarter  track  now  building  in  Golden  Gate 
Park  will  be  ideal  for  amateur  events,  but  of  course 
no  regular  purse  or  stake  racing  will  be  permitted 
over  it.

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  September  16,  1905. 

EVERY  ASSOCIATION  in  California  that  gives 
harness  meetings  in  the  future  should  arrange  to 
secure  a  bonus  from  the  citizens  of  its  town  without 
compromising  itself  in  any  manner  with  those  who 
desire  to  ignore  the  laws  against  gambling.  There  is 
no  reason  on  earth  why  a  town  should  have  all  sorts 
of  illegal  gambling  games  running  during  the  week  a 
race  meeting  is  held,  and  associations  and  horsemen 
should  realize  this  fact.  The  gamblers  that  flock  to  a 
town  to  ply  their  nefarious  trade  when  a  race  meet- 
ing is  on,  do  positive  injury  and  no  good  to  the  sport 
of  harness  racing.  They  simply  antagonize  the  re- 
spectable class  of  law-abiding  citizens,  and  lead 
many  to  entertain  the  false  idea  that  men  who  own 
trotters  and  pacers  are  of  the  same  ilk  as  those  who 
run  the  games.  If  a  bonus  cannot  be  raised  to  aid  a 
race  meeting  without  the  aid  of  subscriptions  from 
those  who  insist  on  renting  their  premises  to  gam- 
blers, better  have  no  race  meetings  at  all.  The  breed- 
ing and  racing  of  harness  horses  is  a  legitimate  in- 
dustry, and  has  occupied  the  time  and  attention  of 
many  of  the  leading  citizens  of  the  United  States. 
Associations  giving  harness  meetings  should  be  too 
dignified  to  acknowledge  their  dependence  on  sub- 
scriptions from  those  who  insist  that  gambling 
games  must  run  in  spite  of  the  laws  against  them, 
and  should  devise  other  means  to  raise  the  revenue 
necessary  to  make  their  meetings  successful.  That 
it  can  be  done  is  not  even  doubtful  because  there 
are  hundreds  of  harness  meetings  held  in  this  country 
every  year  in  towns  where  the  laws  against  gambling 
are  strictly  enforced.  Speed  contests  between  horses 
are  noble  sport,  and  they  should  never  be  assisted, 
let  alone  supported,  by  the  money  which  any-  tin- 
horn gambler  pays  for  the  privilege  of  running  an 
illegal  skin  game. 


NO  REVENUE  was  derived  from  the  betting  privi- 
lege at  the  State  Fair  this  year,  according  to  a  state- 
ment made  by  the  Sacramento  Bee,  and  which  ap- 
pears on  another  page  in  this  issue  of  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman.  If  this  is  a  fact  will  the  Bee  please 
tell  us  why  a  bookmaking  firm  was  permitted  to  oc- 
cupy a  place  adjoining  the  new  track  from  which 
no  charge  was  made  to  enter  the  grounds.  And 
perhaps  the  Bee  can  also  explain  why  from  four  to 
seven  running  races  were  added  to  the  program  every 
day  to  which  no  entrance  money  was  charged.  It 
was  common  rumor  in  Sacramento  during  fair  week 
that  the  syndicate  paid  $1000  a  day  for  the  exclusive 
privilege  of  booking  on  the  races,  and  that  for  this 
amount  it  required  at  least  four  running  races  to  be 
put  on  the  program  It  was  also  rumored  that  this 
"contribution"  made  by  the  syndicate  was  in  the  shape 
of  a  purchase  of  $1000  worth  of  admission  tickets 
each  day,  so  that  while  the  accounts  show  no  betting 
privilege  was  let,  the  sum  probably  appears  in  the 
ticket  sales. 


MANY  SEEM  TO  BELIEVE  that  the  laws  against 
betting  which  have  been  enforced  on  so  many  eastern 
tracks  this  season,  will  seriously  affect  the  market 
for  track  horses  this  winter.  We  think  their  fears 
are  not  well  grounded.  The  enforcement  of  these 
"blue  laws"  will  so  arouse  the  horse  breeders  an.1, 
owners  in  the  states  where  they  exist,  that  a  com- 
bined and  effective  effort  will  doubtless  be  made  tu 
repeal  the  laws  or  elect  men  who  will  repeal  them, 
and.  in  that  case  harness  racing  is  very  liable  to  be 
placed  on  a  better  footing  than  ever.  The  prices 
offered  and  paid  for  high  class  horses  during  the 
past  few  weeks  does  not  show  any  drop  in  the  mar- 
ket. On  the  contrary,  prices  are  a  little  better  than 
they  were  last  year. 


THE  CALIFORNLv  STATE  FAIR  of  1905,  which 
closed  last  Saturday,  was  the  most  successful  held 
in  years,  and  the  gate  receipts  were  larger.  Had  the 
fair  opened  on  Monday,  the  4th,  instead  of  Satur- 
day, the  2d,  the  financial  success  would  have  been 
still  greater,  and  had  the  Directors  refused  to  open 
the  place  to  a  syndicate  book  the  dignity  and  tone 
of  the  exposition  would  have  been  much  higher. 


THE  PROTEST  made  by  Trainer  Chas.  Whitehead 
at  the  Breeders'  meeting  at  Santa  Rosa,  against  the 
starting  of  F.  Gommet's  colt  Prince  McKinney,  win- 
ner of  the  twro-year-old  trotting  division  of  the  Fu- 
turity, has  been  withdrawn  and  the  money  paid  over. 
The  protest  was  made  on  the  ground  that  the  start- 
ing payment  was  not  made  in  time,  although  the 
envelope  bore  the  proper  date. 


THE  TULARE  FAIR  ASSOCIATION  announces  a 
good  program  of  purses  for  trotters  and  pacers  to 
close  October  1st.  The  Tulare  fair  is  one  of  the 
best  held  in  the  State  and  is  always  well  attended. 
The  association  has  the  only  kite  track  on  the  Coast 
and  fast  time  can  be  made  over  it,  as  it  is  kept  in 
excellent  condition.  See  the  advertisement  in  this 
issue  of  the  purses  offered. 


A  BOLT  OF  LIGHTNING  descended  on  a  county 
fair  in  Iowa  last  Thursday,  hit  the  poultry  exhibit, 
killing  four  people  and  a  thousand  chickens.  Had  it 
struck  the  race  track  instead,  killing  a  few  men  and 
hotses,  what  a  wealth  of  material  it  would  have 
furnished  the  preachers  for  sermons  on  "The  Wrath 
of    God."

Easter  Direct,  a  four-year-old  filly  bred  and  still 
owned  by  E  A.  Gammon  of  Sacramento,  paced  a 
wonderful  mile  in  a  workout  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  on 
the  1st  instant.  She  is  credited  with  a  mile  in  2:03?i 
with  the  last  half  in  one  minute  fiat.  Easter  Direct 
is  by  Direct  2:05%,  flam  Cleo  G.  by  Yosemite.  She 
was  given  all  her  early  training  by  Sam  H.  Hoy  of 
Winters,  who  is  one  of  the  best  speed  makers  and 
gait  educators  on  this  coast.  The  Eastern  papers 
are  all  touting  Easter  Direct  as  the  winner  of  next 
vear's  Chamber  of  Commerce  Stake  at  Detroit,  and 
if  she  keeps  her  present  form  she  should  "win  in  a 
walk." 


WEARS   THE   TRIPLE   CROWN. 

North  Star,  the  Nutwood  Wilkes  three-year-old 
whose  picture  graces  our  title  page,  was  bred  and 
is  owned  by  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson  of  Salinas,  and  has  the 
distinction  of  being  the  only  colt  that  ever  won  all 
three  of  the  trotting  classics  of  California,  the  Pacific 
Breeders'  Futurity,  the  Occident  Stake,  and  the  Stan- 
ford Stake,  all  of  which  are  for  three-year-olds. 
He  also  won  second  money  in  the  two-year-old  divi- 
sion of  the  first' named  stake,  and  his  total  winnings 
to  date  amount  to  $6507,  with  three  firsts  and  one 
second  out  of  a  total  of  four  starts.  He  is  without 
any  doubt  the  greatest  three-year-old  trotter  that 
has  appeared  on  the  California  circuit  since  Zom- 
bro's  day. 

When  North  Star  was  a  two-year-old  he  could  not 
be  considered  either  a  good  actor  or  a  highly  prom- 
ising youngster,  as  he  was  balky  and  rather  frac- 
tious in  his  disposition,  and  was  given  up  and  turned 
out  by  one  trainer  as  a  poor  proposition.  When 
Charles  Whitehead  took  him  up,  however,  he  man- 
aged to  gain  the  colt's  confidence  and  soon  had  him 
going  nicely  and  willingly,  and  ready  to  do  his  best 
on  all  occasions  Although  Mr.  Whitehead  had  but 
a  few  weeks  to  start  him  in  the  two-year-old  division 
of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  at  San  Jose  in  1904,  the 
gelding  made  a  fine  showing,  winning  the  first  heat 
over  a  high  class  field  of  two-year-olds  in  2:24,  and 
being  second  in  the  other  two  heats  because  he  was 
a  big  awkward  colt  that  was  short  of  work. 

This  year  he  was  better  prepared  for  his  first  start, 
and  when  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  was  trotted 
at  Santa  Rosa  he  won  so  handily  in  three  straight 
heats  in  the  fast  time  of  2:13%,  2:13%  and  2:16,  that 
his  great  merit  as  a  colt  trotter  was  immediately 
recognized  by  every  horseman  who  saw  him  win  so 
impressively. 

Two  weeks  elapsed  before  his  next  start,  which 
was  in  the  Occident  Stake  on  the  opening  day  of 
the  California  State  Fair.  For  three  days  previous 
to  this  ra.ce  his  trainer,  Chas.  Whitehead,  was  very 
sick  and  unable  to  work  or  drive  the  gelding.  The 
result  wras  North  Star  was  a  little  rank  and  when 
the  race  was  started  Whitehead,  after  failing  to  se- 
cure another  driver,  got  up  behind  him,  but  found 
it  difficult  in  his  weakened  condition  to  hold  North 
Star  to  his  gait  during  the  first  three  heats.  The 
colt  had  all  his  speed,  however,  and  although  making 
disastrous  breaks  in  each  of  these  miles  finished  a 
good  second  every  time  and  in  the  fourth  heat  trotted 
the  mile  in  2:15%,  the  fastest  heat  in  the  history 
of  he  stake,  and  won  handily.  The  next  two  heats 
and  the  race  and  first  and  third  money  were  his. 

One  week  later  he  started  in  the  Stanford  Stake. 
Again  was  he  returned  a  winner,  and  although  losing 
the  first  heat  to  Athasham  by  a  break,  took  the  next 
three  easily  and  placing  first,  third  and  fourth  moneys 
to  the   credit  of  his  owner. 

North  Star  is  a  large  colt,  standing  slightly  over 
sixteen  hands.  He  has  a  most  powerful  shoulder 
with  great  depth  through  the  heart,  and  his  hind 
quarters  are  muscular  and  well  developed,  although 
his  great  development  forward  would  cause  an  in- 
experienced person  to  say  he  was  light  behind.  He 
has  a  tremendous  stride,  with  much  action  and  when 
at  speed  his  gait  is  regular  as  clock  work.  That  he 
is  one  of  the  fastest  three-year-olds  ever  foaled  is 
proven  by  his  two  heats  in  2.13%  in  his  first  race 
this  year.  He  was  in  condition  to  lower  this  mark 
at  Sacramento  had  the  new  track  not  been  so  heavy 
and  cuppy  as  to  prevent  fast  time,  but  his  fourth 
heat  in  the  Occident  in  2:15%  is  considered  by  many 
horsemen  as  good  as  2:11%  over  a  fairly  good  track. 
That  he  has  gameness  and  great  endurance  was 
proven  in  the  same  race,  his  sixth  heat  in  2:  ISM: 
being  a  wonderful  performance  under  the  conditions 
for  any  three-year-old. 

North  Star  is  the  greatest  money  winning  three- 
year-old  ever  raced  in  California,  is  the  only  colt 
that  ever  won  all  three  of  the  leading  three-year-old 
stakes  annually  trotted  in  this  state,  and  has  the 
fastest  mile  by  a  three-year-old  colt  or  gelding  in 
the  United  States  to  his  credit  this  year.  Chas 
Whitehead  considers  him  the  greatest  three-year-old 
he  has  ever  seen  and  believes  he  could  be  fitted  for  a 
mile  in  2:10  or  better  on  any  good  track.  The  breed- 
ing of  North  Star  was  given  in  tabulated  form  in 
these  columns  two  weeks  ago  and  is  not  necessary 
to  repeat  here.  Suffice  it  to  say  that  he  represents 
the  Wilkes-Electioneer-Mambrino-Patchen- thorough  - 
Dred  cross  and  comes  from  a  great  line  of  producing 
sires  and  producing  dams.  He  should  trot  in  2:05 
or  better  as  an  aged  horse.

JOTTINGS. 


THE  FACT  that  the  good  three-year-old  North  Star 
won  over  $6000  in  three  race?  in  California  this  year 
goes  to  show  that  it  is  possible  for  a  high 
trotter  to  earn  a  very  snug  sum  for  its  owner  without 
going  out  of  the  State,  provided  he  is  entered  in  the 
three   established   stakes   whi  annual    fea- 

tures of  the  small  circuit  of  harness  racing  held  in 
California  each  summer.  As  these  stakes  have  given 
sing  young  trotters  eligible  to  them  a  much 
higher  value  than  they  would  otherwise  have,  so  will 
three  or  four  good  sized  stakes  for  aged  class 
ers  greatly   increase   their   value    in    the 

market  and  also  increase  the  demand  for  them.  It 
is  not  every  association  that  can  offer  large  stakes. 
but  there  are  three  or  four  assoi  iations  in  '"alifornia 
which  can  afford  to  announce  early  closing  stakes 
for  class  trotters  and  pacers  that  will  have  a  value 
considerably  greater  than  any  given  here  in  recent 
years.  The  Breeders'  Association  has  a  $2000  stake 
for  2:24  class  trotters  and  one  of  $1500  for  2:20  class 
pacers  that  could  be  easily  doubled  in  value  without 
danger  of  loss,  while  the  Los  Angeles  Association  and 
the  State  Fair  could  give  equally  as  large  and  prob- 
ably larger  stakes.  The  objection  raised  by  some  as- 
sociations to  the  giving  of  large  stakes  is  that  those 
holding  meetings  late  in  the  season  secure  but  a  few 
starters  and  have  a  large  suspension  list  owing  to  the 
fact  that  a  few  horses  show  up  at  the  early  meetings 
that  outclass  the  others  and  consequently  the  major- 
ity of  owners  refuse  to  start  against  them  later  in 
the  season.  This  can  be  easily  remedied  by  the  asso- 
ciations conferring  before  announcing  their  programs 
and  making  their  big  stakes  for  different  classes.  The 
association  giving  the  opening  meeting  should  give  its 
leading  stakes  for  the  slower  classes.  The  years  when 
the  Breeders'  Association  held  its  meetings  early  in 
the  year  saw  large  fields  in  the  stakes  for  green  horses 
and  those  of  the  classes  slower  than  2.20.  The  stakes 
offered  by  associations  coming  later  in  the  circuit 
should  be  for  horses  of  a  faster  class,  until  at  the  close 
of  the  season  the  fastest  horses  would  be  competing 
for  the  larger  stakes.  There  has  been  a  pretty  gen^^j) 
complaint  in  California  in  recent  years  that  a  2:10 
pacer  or  a  2:15  trotter  was  compelled  to  start  lor 
smaller  purses  than  the  slower  classes  were  racing 
for.  This  is  because  the  largest  revenue  of  every  as- 
sociation giving  harness  meetings  comes  from  en- 
trance money,  and  the  stakes  for  green  or  slow  class 
horses  can  be  depended  upon  to  furnish  the  longest 
list  of  entries.  The  $2000  stake  of  the  Breeders'  As- 
sociation does  not  cost  it  as  much  as  the  average 
$800  purse,  because  the  number  of  entries  is  nearly 
large  enough  to  make  up  the  full  amount  of  the 
money  offered.  This  is  the  case  with  nearly  all  the 
big  stakes  offered  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  Horses  in 
training  are  so  numerous  in  the  East  that  main-  as- 
sociations have  an  average  of  thirty  or  more  entries 
to  every  race,  and  when  it  is  understood  that  sixteen 
paid  up  entries  pay  the  entire  stake,  it  is  easy  to 
understand  the  expression  that  many  of  the  Grand 
Circuit  associations  are  "on  velvet"  as  soon  as  their 
entries  are  received.  California  associations  cannot 
arrange  their  programs  on  the  same  plan  under  which 
meetings  are  given  in  the  East.  This  is  a  big  State. 
but  it  is  comparatively  sparsely  inhabited,  and  our 
circuit  is  one  of  magnificent  distances  and  superlative 
transportation  rates.  It  is  often  the  case  that  an 
owner  is  required  to  pay  nearly  as  much  to  reach  a 
town  with  his  horse  as  he  can  earn  by  winning  first 
money,  consequently  the  meetings  where  $300  purses 
are  given  in  this  State  have  very  few  entries  outside 
their  immediate  neighborhood.  Owing  to  these  long 
hauls  with  high  freight  rates  it  is  impossible  to  ar- 
range a  circuit  of  more  than  a  few  weeks  racing,  as 
but  few  of  our  mile  tracks  are  located  in  cities  large 
enough  to  give  four  or  five  days  of  racing  for  purses 
of  upwards  of  $500  each. 


Such  being  the  condition  of  things  in  California  it 
seems  to  me  that  it  would  be  well  lor  the  managers 
of  the  different   trotting   I  i  California  to  let  the 

lamp  of  experience  in  these  matters  guide  them  in 
the  future.  All  over  this  country,  from  Maine  to  Cali- 
fornia, harness  racing  opens  in  the  early  summer  and 
.  ontinues  until  the  frost  or  the  rain  makes  the  tracks 
unfit  to  race  over.  On  the  other  side  of  the  Missis- 
sippi there  is  only  one  Grand  Circuit,  and  if  all  the 
'ions    would    de<  i  -      unless 

they  could  be  members  of  the  big  ring  there  would 
be  mighty  little  racing.  There  .ire  ;i  hundred  minor 
circuits  over  there — some  of  them  composed  entirely 
of  half  mile  tracks,  whi  i  -•  -t    purse   is 

over    $40<>.      These    all    ;,  li  rs    for    tin 

circuit,  however,  and  on  these  llttli  ich  year 

tie  cham- 
of  the  big  ring  the  follow!:; 


Besides  this  main  circuit  there  should  be  a  half 
dozen  smaller  or  minor  circuits.  There  is  not  a  town 
of  a  thousand  inhabitants  where  a  track  is  located 
that  will  not  patronize  and  enjoy  a  few  days"  harness 
racing,  if  properly  conducted,  and  there  is  not  one 
but  can  secure  enough  entries,  if  the  purses  are 
properly  advertised,  to  insure  good  contests.  Purses 
or  SSOO  are  ample  and  a  three  days'  program 
sufficient  at  these  smaller  towns.  I  know  a  horseman 
who.  having  a  lease  of  a  track,  gave  a  three  days' 
meeting  one  year  and  came  out  with  quite  a  neat 
sum  on  the  right  side  of  his  ledger.  The  next  year 
he  gave  a  four  'lays'  meeting  and  lost  as  much  as  he 
made  the  year  before.  He  lives  in  a  three-day  town 
and  a  four-day  meeting  will  not  pay  there.  Theatrical 
men  have  solved  this  question  long  ago,  and  any  ad- 
vance agent  with  experience  knows  that  in  the  small 
towns  just  as  much  money  is  taken  in  at  the  box 
office  when  the  show  is  given  for  only  one  night  as 
when  given  for  two,  while  the  expenses  are  only  one- 
half.  Race  meetings  are  much  the  same,  and  man- 
agers must  get  rid  of  that  old  idea  that  the  horsemen 
must  be  kept  in  town  a  full  week  for  the  benefit  of  the 
hotel  men  and  merchants.  A  one-day  meeting  that  is 
financially  and  otherwise  successful  is  better  for  all 
concerned  than  an  entire'  week  of  racing  that  leaves 
a  deficit  for  the  management  or  the  citizens  to  pay 
out  of  their  pockets. 


California  can  profit  by  a  study  of  the  eastern  situa- 
tion.    "We  .should  have  a  main  circuit   with   such  citlea

There  are  amusing  incidents  connected  with  cam- 
paigning a  horse  even  if  one  doesn't  win  all  the  time. 
My  friend  Ottinger,  President  of  the  American  Ticket 
Brokers'  Association,  who  was  once  a  partner  of  the 
lamented  Tom  Keating  during  several  eastern  cam- 
paigns, has  as  much  fun  as  the  next  man  out  of  the 
sport.  Two  years  ago  when  George  Fox  disposed  of 
most  of  his  horses  at  auction,  Ottinger  bought  Dae- 
dalion  for  something  like  $750.  If  I  remember  right  it 
was  Ed  Lafferty,  the  well  known  trainer  now  in  the 
east  with  the  Butler  string,  that  induced  Mr.  Ottinger 
to  buy  the  stallion,  and  Ed  put  the  horse  in  training  at 
Pleasanton.  Daedalion  had  a  mark  of  2:11  at  the 
time,  but  nearly  all  the  "wise  guys"  said  he  was  all  in 
and  rather  smiled  when  the  ticket  broker  made  the 
high  bid  for  him.  Even  Lafferty  lost  faith  in  the  son 
of  Diablo  and  told  me  just  before  he  went  east  that 
he  didn't  think  Daedalion  would  do.  Ottinger  was 
game,  however,  and  didn't  mind  spending  a  little 
money  on  the  horse  if  he  could  win  a  heat  now  and 
then,  and  gave  him  to  H.  R.  Ward  to  train.  "Ward 
started  him  three  times  last  year,  the  first  time  with- 
out hopples,  and  he  was  distanced.  He  put  a  new  pair 
of  straps  on  him  the  next  time,  but  they  parted,  and 
again  he  caught  the  flag.  The  third  time  everything 
held,  however,  and  he  won  handily,  beat  all  the  crack 
2:10  horses  and  took  a  record  of  2.10.  This  year  his 
win  of  the  2:09  pace  at  the  State  Fair  showed  him  to 
be  about  the  best  horse  in  his  class  on  the  Coast.  He 
paced  the  second  heat  over  that  new  and  heavy  track 
right  at  his  record  and  Ward  was  just  buggy  riding. 
At  Santa  Rosa  he  was  up  against  Zolock,  and  Ottin- 
ger thinks  he  might  have  beaten  the  son  of  McKin- 
ney  had  the  others  in  the  race  the  speed  their  trainers 
claimed.  Nearly  every  one  of  them  claimed  his  horse 
could  pace  one  heat  in  2:06  and  they  proposed  to  hook 
up  with  Zolock.  one  at  a  time,  and  make  him  lower 
his  record.  Ottinger  thought  the  combination  would 
win  and  bet  $300  on  the  field  against  Zolock.  but  when 
the  race  came  off  the  2:06  horses  failed  to  show  the 
speed  claimed  for  them  and  Zolock  cake-walked.  Dae- 
dalion can  certainly  show  a  mile  in  2:06  or  2:07  over  a 
good  track  and  Ottinger  is  getting  lots  of  inquiries 
from  men  who  want  to  buy  the  horse.  One  fellow 
came  in  the  other  day  and  wanted  to  trade  ten  thou- 
sand shares  of  oil  stock  at  a  par  value  of  a  dollar 
a  share  for  the  stallion.  Ottinger  looked  at  the  name 
of  the  company,  saw  that  he  had  never  heard  of  it,  be- 
fore he  said: 

"I  don't  want  to  swap  horses  for  oil  stock  as  I 
have  plenty  of  both,  but  I'll  tell  you  what  I'll  do. 
I've  got  eleven  thousand  shares  of  oil  stock  that  I'll 
trade  for  your  ten  thousand,  even  though  I  don't  know 
where  the  well  is.  but  I  wouldn't  give  Daedalion  for 
both  wells''  Another  man  wrote  asking  what  Ottin- 
ger would  take  for  the  horse,  reminding  him  that  he 
was  present  when  he  paid  $750  for  him.  "Why  didn't 
you  buy  him  then?'"  said  the  broker,  "you'll  never 
have  another  chance  to  get  him  so  cheap.''  Daedalion 
is.  in  the  opinion  of  every  horseman,  fully  capable  of 
beating  2:10  three  times  over  any  good  track,  and  he 
is  one  of  the  best  bred  stallions  in  California. 


Mr.   J.   R.  Bowles,   owner  of  the  McKinney  gelding 
Mack    Ma«k   2:12*4    returned  to  his  home  in  Portland 

from  Die  East  last  week  and  stated  to  a  representa- 
tive of  the  Rural  Spirit  that  Mack  Mack  is  only  tem- 
porally  lame  and  may  be  able  to  start  at  Lexington 
.j  iid  Memphis.  Mack  Mack's  lameness  was  caused  by 
'lent  on  the  track.  Mr.  Helman  was  working 
him  out  and  turning  into  the  stretch  at  a  2:12  clip 
met  the  track  harrow,  which  t.>  avoid  running  into, 
lx-     pulled     Mack     Mark     suddenly     to      one      Side      and 

wrenched  on  of  his  hind  ankles,  which  caused  him" 
i"  pull  up  slightly  lame.  The  horse  is  fast  recover- 
ing, and   will   in   time  be  as  sound  as  ever. 


Will    Durfee    took   Claude  Jones'   four-year-old    Car- 

lokin    2:20%    by   McKinney   south   with   him   when   he 

i    his   horses   home  and   will   put   him   in   shape 

for   the    i:i,es    next   year.      Carlokin    made   his   record

heat    in    that    time.      He   also    won    two    heats    in    the

DIRECTUM    A   WONDERFUL   SIRE. 

The  Horse  Review  of  last  week  makes  the  -following 
editorial    comment: 

The  real  sensation  of  last  week's  racing  was  the 
exceptionally  brilliant  performance  of  Ethel's  Pride 
in  the  $3,000  Ponkapoag  purse  for  2:14  trotters,  at 
Readville,  Mass..  in  which  she  defeated  the  favorite, 
Glenwood  M.  2:  us  %,  and  trotted  the  second,  third  and 
fourth  heats  in  2:07^,  2:07%,  2:10%.  Ethel's  Pride 
is  now  five  years  of  age.  In  1903  she  was  one  of  the 
season's  most  brilliant  three-year-olds,  taking  a  record 
of  2:13%  and  winning,  among  other  events,  the  Review 
Futurity  at  Cincinnati.  Last  year  she  was  not  started, 
and  her  Readville  race  was  her  first  public  appear- 
ance this  season. 

In  commenting  upon  it,  turf  writers  have  taken 
occasion  to  draw  renewed  attention  to  this  great 
young  mare's  dam,  Ethelwyn  2:33,  the  famous  matron, 
by  Harold,  out  of  Kathleen,  by  Pilot  Jr.  Her  record 
is  indeed  a  remarkable  one,  as  she  has  produced, 
beside  Ethel's  Pride,  those  two  other  precocious  three- 
year-old  trotting  fillies,  Impetuous  2.13  and  Extasy 
2:lliA  (the  latter  with  a  pacing  record  of  2:10^  at 
two  years),  the  swift  pacing  mare  Ecstatic  2:05%,  and 
three  other  standard  trotters.  In  this  connection,  how- 
ever, there  is  an  interesting  point  that  we  have  not 
seen  mentioned.  This  is  that  Little  Miss,  thorough- 
bred, by  imported  Sovereign,  the  third  dam  of  Ethel's 
Pride  and  her  noted  half-sisters,  is  also  the  fourth 
dam  of  the  famous  black  thoroughbred  race  mare  Imp, 
whose  record-breaking  achievements  a  few  seasons 
ago,  at  both  long  and  short  distances,  won  her  a 
place  among  America's  greatest  running  performers. 
When  running  blood  is  found  in  the  near — or  moder- 
ately near — removes  of  a  fast  trotter's  pedigree,  it 
will  be  generally  found  to  have  also  produced  some- 
thing of  equal  merit  of  its  own  kind. 

Ethel's  Pride  is  the  daughter  of  a  great  dam.  But 
do  not  overlook  the  fact  that  she  is  by  a  sire  that  is 
even  greater.  Directum  2:05%  was  one  of  the  most 
marvelous  trotters,  while  upon  the  turf,  that  the 
world  has  ever  seen.  As  a  sire  he  has  now  won  equal 
renown.  Last  year  he  placed  two  of  his  get — Con- 
suela  S.  2:07%  (winner  of  the  $15,000  Massachusetts's 
race)  and  Judge  Green  2:09 — in  the  list  of  2:10  trot- 
ters. This  year  he  has  duplicated  the  achievements 
with  Ethel's  Pride  2:071*.  and  Directum  Lass  2:09%. 
Never  before  have  four  race-horse  trotters  by  one 
sire  entered  the  2:10  list  in  two  successive  seasons. 
There  are  only  four  living  sires  of  four  or  more  2.10 
trotters,  and  these  are  from  two  to  eleven  years  older 
than  Directum,  who  is  now  but  sixteen  and  has  been 
permanently  retired  to  the  stud  but  seven  years. 

Four  years  ago,  in  the  fall  of  1901,  Directum,  through 
the  death  of  his  owner,  William  E.  Spier,  came  to 
the  auction  block.  AVhen  his  prospective  sale  was  an- 
nounced our  unprejudiced  opinion  was  asked,  by  a 
prospective  bidder,  as  to  the  merits  and  value  of  the 
horse.  We  gave  it  as  our  conviction  that  he  was 
destined  to  be  one  of  the  world's  greatest  trotting 
sires,  and  that  he  was  worth  any  price  within  reason 
and  the  buyer's  resources.  We  do  not  know  how 
much  weight  this  opinion  may  have  carried  with  it; 
but  we  do  know  that  the  gentleman  to  whom  it  was 
expressed  bid  off  Directum  at  the  sale  for  $12,100, 
believing  that  he  had  secured  a  rare  bargain.  The 
gentleman  in  question  was  Mr.  Ml.  W.  Savage,  of  Min- 
nesita.  We  have  more  than  once,  since  then,  con- 
gratulated him  on  his  purchase.  We  now  renew  these 
congratulations. 


THE    KANSAS    BETTING    LAW. 


While  the  California  Legislature  will  not  be  in  ses- 
sion this  winter,  it  is  more  than  likely  that  at  the  ses- 
sion of  1906-7  an  effort  will  be  made  to  have  some 
legislation  passed  by  which  wagering  on  the  results 
of  races  "may  be  legalized.  The  Kansas  law  which 
has  met  the  approval  of  horsemen  in  that  State  is 
herewith  given  that  our  reader  may  understand  how 
betting  on  races  is  permitted  but  controlled  in  the 
cyclone  belt.     The  law  reads  as  follows. 

Any  person  who  keeps  any  room,  shed,  tenement, 
booth,  or  building,  or  any  part  thereof,  or  who  occu- 
pies any  place  upon  any  public  or  private  grounds 
within  this  State  with  any  book,  instrument,  or  device 
for  the  purpose  of  recording  or  registering  bets  or 
wagers,  or  selling  pools,  upon  the  result  of  any  trial 
or  contest  of  skill,  speed,  or  power  of  endurance  of 
man  or  beast,  which  is  to  be  made  or  take  place 
within  or  beyond  the  limits  of  this  State,  except 
within  the  inclosure  of  a  race  track  and  upon  races 
or  trials  of  speed  being  conducted  within  said  inclo- 
sure (provided  that  the  exception  herein  shall  not 
apply  to  any  race  track  or  inclosure  for  more  than 
two  weeks  in  any  one  year),  or  any  person  who  records 
or  registers  bets  or  wagers,  or  sells  pools  upon  the 
result  of  any  trial  or  contest  of  skill,  speed,  or  power 
of  endurance  of  man  or  beast,  which  is  to  be  made 
or  take  place  within  or  beyond  this  State,  or  upon 
the  result  of  any  political  nomination,  appointment, 
or  election  which  is  to  be  made  or  held  either  within 
or  beyond  the  limits  of  this  State,  or  being  the  owner, 
lessee,  or  occupant  of  any  room,  shed,  tenement,  cr

CLOSING  DAYS  AT  STATE  FAIR. 


North  Star  Annexes  Stanford  Stake,   and  Adam 
G.  Wins  Free-for-All  Trotting  Event. 


Thursday  was  Governor's  Day  at  the  State  Fair, 
and  between  six  and  seven  thousand  people  turned  out 
to  honor  the  State's  chief  executive  and  see  the  races. 
Two  harness  races  were  on  the  card,  but  the  first,  the 
Occident- Stanford  Pace,  was  a  walkover  for  T.  "W. 
Barstow's  bay  colt  Just  It  by  Nearest.  This  race  is 
for  the  three-year-olds  originally  entered  in  the  Oc- 
cident and  Stanford  stakes,  that  take  to  pacing.  Mr. 
Barstow  drove  his  colt  an  easy  mile  in  2:19^. 

The  only  other  harness  event  of  the  day  was  the 
2.18  trot  for  a  purse  of  $600.  C.  A.  Durfee's  little 
trotter  Cuate  by  McKinney,  dam  Miss  Jessie  2:13% 
by  Gossiper  was  a  big  favorite  over  "Wild  Bell,  Lady 
Jones  and  Hank  selling-  as  a  field.  Cuate  was  driven 
by  W.  G.  Durfee  and  won  three  straight  heats  in  the 
handiest  sort  of  fashion  without  getting  out  of  his 
class,  every  mile  being  in  2:17%.  Hank  managed  to 
finish  second  the  first  heat,  "Wild  Bell  got  the  place  in 
the  second  heat  and  Lady  Jones  was  next  to  the  win- 
ner in  the  third  heat.  So  far  as  speed  is  concerned 
the  three  field  horses  were  on  even  terms.  Second 
money  went  to  Wild  Bell,  third  to  Lady  Jones,  and 
Hank  saved  his  entrance.  Six  running  races  com- 
pleted the  day's  sport.  The  summaries  of  the  harness 
events  follow:

The  grand  stand  was  not  large  enough  to  accommo- 
date all  who  wanted  seats  under  its  welcome  shade 
on  Friday,  and  the  fact  was  apparent  to  all  that 
good  harness  events  will  draw  a  crowd.  There  were 
three  races  for  harness  horses  on  the  program,  the 
Stanford  Stake,  the  2:  IS  class  pace  and  the  free-for- 
all  trot.  For  the  first  named  four  three-year-old  trot- 
ters appeared  to  contest  for  the  stake,  which  had  a 
total  value  of  $1S90,  divided  into  the  usual  four 
moneys.  North  Star,  the  Nutwood  Wilkes  gelding  that 
had  won  both  his  previous  starts  this  year  and  proven 
his  speed  and  gameness,  was  the  favorite  at  $20,  with 
the  field,  comprising  Athasham,  Alto  Downs  and  El 
Rev,  selling  for  $11. 

When  they  got  the  word  the  first  time  North  Star 
went  to  the  front  but  broke  at  the  half  and  lost  many 
lengths.  Athasham's  driver  took  advantage  of  North 
Star's  mistake  and  got  a  long  lead,  but  when  White- 
head got  North  Star  squared  away  the  crowd  had  a 
chance  to  see  what  marvelqus  speed  the  Salinas  gel- 
ding has,  as  he  ate  up  the  space  rapidly  and  was 
only  beaten  a  half  length  at  the  wire  in  2:20%.  Alto 
Downs  was  third  and  El  Rey  fourth. 

In  the  second  heat  North  Star  was  on  his  good 
behavior  and  trotted  the  mile  in  2:15,  a  great  per- 
formance for  a  three-year-old,  as  the  track  was  nearly 
if  not  quite  three  seconds  slow.  Athasham  was  the 
only  one  of  the  other  three  to  beat  the  flag  and  he 
trotted  a  fast:  mile,  being  timed  separately  in  2:17.  The 
third  and  fourth  heats  went  to  North  Star  in  the  same 
manner  in  2:16  and  2:17,  and  he  was  awarded  first, 
third  and  fourth  money,  a  total  of  $1417.50.  This 
added  to  his  winnings  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity  and 
Occident  stakes  makes  him  winner  of  $6006  this  year 
and  he  retires  an  unbeaten  three-year-old.  In  his  only 
start  as  a  two-year-old  he  won  $600. 

The  2:  IS  class  pace  was  not  a  very  high  class 
event,  though  it  took  five  heats  to  decide  it.  Elmoriue 
by  Iris,  driven  by  Farmer  Bunch,  won  the  first  two 
heats  in  2.17  M-  arid  2:20,  and  then  Penrose  by  Fal- 
rose,  driven  by  Walter  Mastin,  took  the  next  three 
in  2:18%,  2:22  and  2:31.  Joe  Robin  was  awarded 
third  money,  Sweetheart  fourth  and  Clara  L.  had  to 
be  content  with  fifth  and  last  position  in  the  sum- 
mary. 

The  announcement  that  Petigru  would  not  start  in 
the  free-for-all  trot,  and  that  "Billy"  Durfee  had 
very  kindly  offered  to  drive  Adam  G.  for  Willard 
Zibbeil  gave  this  race  increased  interest.  Since  the 
entries  were  first  published  the  horsemen  had  pre- 
dicted a  great  contest  in  this  event,  and  there  was 
much  disagreement  as  to  the  probable  winner.  Dr. 
Hammond  was  picked  upon  by  the  majority  of  first 
choice  buyers  as  the  one  most  likely  to  win,  and  they 
paid  $20  each  for  tickets  on  him,  with  all  the  other 
good  ones,  including  Charlie  T.,  Adam  G.,  Princess 
and  H.  D.  B.,  in  the  field  at  $12.  It  was  not  Dr.  Ham- 
mond's day,  however,  for  under  Will  Durfee's  cool 
and  able  reining  Adam  G.  again  showed  the  form  dis- 
played at  Los  Angeles  when  Willard  Zibbeil  drove 
him  to  victory  in  straight  heats.  He  won  the  race  in 
one,  two,  three  order,  setting  the  track  record  at  2:13% 
in  the  second  heat,  and  trotting,  like  the  champion 
which  many  of  the  best  judges  of  a  trotter  believe 
him  to  be.  His  burst  of  speed  is  wonderful  and  a 
quarter  in  30  seconds  seems  play  for  him  at  any 
time.  No  better  gajted  one  ever  wore  harness.  The 
victory  of  Adam  G.  in  this  race  was  most  popular. 
Durfee  declined  to  accept  anything  for  his  services. 
The  fight  for  second  money  in  this  race  was  quite  in- 
teresting, Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson's  good  mare  Princess 
finally  landing  it  H.  D.  B.  was  third,  Charlie  T.  had 
to  be  content  with  fourth,  and  the  favorite,  Dr.  Ham- 
mond,  was  last  in  the  summary.  Four  running  races 
completed  the  program  for  the  day.     The  summaries:

Saturday  was  a  gala  day  in  Sacramento.  It  was 
Admission  Day  and  the  order  of  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West  had  chosen  the  capital  city  as  the 
scene  of  their  annual  parade.  Between  twenty  and 
thirty  thousand  visitors  were  there  to  witness  the  big 
event  which  was  to  occupy  the  forenoon  of  the  day, 
and  as  it  was  2  o'clock  before  this  feature  was  over, 
and  the  literary  exercises  filled  the  pavilion  during 
the  afternoon,  the  crowd  that  was  expected  at  the 
track  did  not"  materialize  until  half  the  racing  pro- 
gram was  over.  Tile  crowd  was  so  great  then,  how- 
ever, that  the  street  car  lines  were  unable  to  handle 
it  and  it  was  dark  when  the  last  of  them  left  the 
track. 

The  two  largest  purse  races  of  the  meeting  were 
down  for  decision,  and  they  were  won  in  straight 
heats.  The  first  was  the  2:25  class  pace  for  a  purse 
of  $1500.  Eight  starters  were  announced,  the  chest- 
nut mare  Loganette  being  the  favorite  at  even  money 
against  the  field,  in  which  were  Hattie  Croner,  Fear- 
not,  Arthur  F.,  Argyle.  Miss  Winn,  Mixer  and  Eagle 
Pilot.  Hattie  Croner  was  piloted  by  Farmer  Bunch 
and  he  took  her  to  the  front  three  times  in  2:19%, 
2:17i4  and  2:17%.  The  Farmer  received  congratula- 
tions on  all  sides  for  his  win  with  the  daughter  of 
Bay  Bird.  She  could  have  paced  much  faster  if 
necessary.  Fearnot  got  second  money,  Arthur  F. 
third,   and  Argyle  fourth. 

There  were  five  starters  in  the  2:24  class  trot,  with 
Oro  Belmont  selling  as  favorite.  Lady  Jones,  Sam 
Bowers,  Little  Babe  and  Billy  Dooley  made  up  the 
field.  The  first  heat  resulted  in  one  of  the  closest 
finishes  that  has  been  seen  this  year.  Ora  Belmont 
and  Lady  Jones  passed  the  grand  stand  nose  and 
nose,  and  until  the  judges  announced  that  Oro  Bel- 
mont had  won,  only  those  directly  under  the  wire 
knew  the  result.  The  remaining  heats  went  to  the 
Oro  Wilkes  horse  very  handily  in   slower  time. 

Zolock  2:05*4  then  paced  an  exhibition  miles.  He 
was  given  an  enthusiastic  reception  as  he  came  out 
for  his  trial,  driven  by  Henry  Delaney.  He  started 
away  at  too  fast  a  gait  over  such  a  heavy,  slow 
track  and  when  he  reached  the  half  in  lj02  those 
holding  watches  doubted  his  ability  to  lower  his 
record.  He  reached  the  three-quarters  in  1: 34,  but 
only  paced  the  last  quarter  in  34  seconds,  and  the  mile 
was  in  2 :  OS.  The  track  is  reckoned  three  seconds 
slow  by  all  horsemen.  Six  rather  ordinary  running 
races  were  then  decided  afnd  the  State  Fair  races 
of  1905  were  over.  The  harness  race  summaries  fol-

CLOSE  OF   HARTFORD   MEETING. 

HARTFORD,  Conn.,  Sept.  7. — There  seldom  has  been 
a  better  day's  sport  in  the  history  of  Charter  Oak  Park 
than  that  offered  this  afternoon.  It  was  not  a  good 
day  for  favorites,  calculations  being  upset  in  three  ot 
five  races,  and  in  one  of  the  others  two  heats  were 
won  before   the  favorite  came  to  the  front. 

Remarkably  good  was  the  time  in  the  trotting  di- 
vision of  the  Hartford  Futurity  for  foals  of  1902.  Bon 
Voyage,  which  was  the  champion  two-year-old  last 
year,  won  it,  although  The  Phantom  was  favorite. 
after  Miss  Wilkes'  Katherine  L.  had  been  withdrawn. 
William  A.  Clark  Jr..  son  of  Senator  Clark  of  Mon- 
tana, owner  of  Bon  Voyage,  was  an  interested  witness 
of  his  horse's  fine  performance.  Harrison  Wilkes  was 
expected  to  win  the  first  race  of  the  day.  the  2:12  trot, 
but  lie  caused  his  backers  much  uneasiness  in  the  first 
two   heats. 

The  pacing  <!hi.si..n  of  the  Futurity  was  Miss  Ad- 
bell's  by  common  consent  and  time  was  not  fast  for 
Iter.  Bonnalet  by  Bonnh  Direcl  was  unfortunately 
distanced   the    first   heat. 

The  $500  for  the  nominator  of  the  dam  of  the  trot- 
ting futurity  winner  goes  i<>  Charles  Warren. 

Geers  was  expected  i"  take  the  Nutmeg  trot  with 
Turley,  that  horse  being  a  strong  favorite  in  (lie  bet- 
ting, but  Kid  Shay  had  it  easily  from  the  first  and 
Swift  !'..  took  second  money.  De  Ryder  was  substi- 
tuted by  the  judges  for  Hayden  behind  Roberta  before 
the  fifth  heat  of  the  2:12  trot.  The  change  made  no 
difference.     Summaries.

September  8. — The  favorite  won  in  only  one  of  three 
races  at  Charter  Oak  Park  today.  Lizzie  G.  disap- 
pointed her  backers  in  the  first  race,  the  2:15  trot,  af- 
ter taking  two  heats.  The  third  heat  was  a  close  fin- 
ish between  the  favorite  and  Jim  Fenton  and  the  gen- 
eral opinion  of  the  grandstand  was  that  Lizzie  had 
won  it  and  the  race.  The  judges  announced  Fenton  as 
the  winner  of  the  heat  and  that  horse  then  went  out 
and  got  the  next  two  handily.  Mainland  was  marked 
to  win  the  2:10  trot,  but  Thomas  did  not  appear  to 
drive  her  out  until  after  Jim  Ferry  had  taken  two" 
heats,  and  it  was  then  too  late.  Ferry  took  the  third 
heat  after  a  sharp  struggle  with  the  favorite  on  the 
way  to  the  wire.  Nathan  Straus  was  favorite  in  the 
free-for-all  pace  and  he  won  rather  easily,  although 
Xervolo  and  John  M.  gave  him  a  serious  argument.

September  9. — Three  races  today  ended  the  Grand 
Circuit  meet  at  Charter  Oak  Park,  and  in  two  of  the 
three  early  calculations  in  the  betting  were  completely 
upset.  With  Tiverton  drawn,  the  free-for-all  trot 
went  to  Sweet  Marie  without  argument,  and  appar- 
ently she  had  lots  of  speed  to  spare.  George  G.  and 
McKinley  divided  second  and  third  money. 

There  was  another  surprise  in  the  2:06  pace,  which 
The  Friend  was  expected  to  win  easily.  He  sold  at 
$100  to  $25  for  the  field.  He  had  no  trouble  in  taking 
two  heats.  In  the  third  he  broke,  but  came  into  the 
stretch  with  a  great  stride,  and  King  Direct  beat  him 
only  by  a  nose.  Again  in  the  fourth  heat  The  Friend 
broke  and  the  race  to  the  wire  was  between  King 
Direct  and  Peruna,  the  last  quarter  being  done  in 
30  seconds  and  the  last  half  in  1:02.  The  Friend  was 
driven  hard'to  save  his  distance,  and  must  have  gone 
at  a  0:29  clip  to  have  gained  on  the  leaders.  In  the 
Gnal  heat  The  Friend  broke  three  times,  but  even  at 
that  was  close  up  with  King  Direct  at  ^he  finish.

The  totalisator  was  used  at  the  San  Francisco  Driv- 
ing Club's  meeting  September  9th  and  met  with  great 
favor.  The  mutual  system  of  betting  is  the  best  ever 
devised  and  should  be  in  use  on  every  race  track. 
When  there  was  no  other  system  of  betting  in  Mon- 
tana but  the  mutual,  racing  flourished  and  was  largely 
attended.  When  the  syndicate  book  was  introduced 
racing  was  killed  there  in  a  short  time. 


Over  $5000  in  purses  will  be  offered  by  the  Tulare 
Fair  Association  for  its  meeting  in  October. 


McKinney  has  about  seventy  standard  performers 
in  the  list,  with  a  greater  proportion  of  fast  ones  than 
any  other  sire. 


The  Grosse  Point  race  track  at  Detroit  was  sold 
last  Monday  for  $160,000  to  foreclose  two  mortgages 
held  on  it.  L.  A.  Cella,  the  St.  Louis  bookmaker. 
was  the  purchaser  and  it  is  probable  that  an  effort 
will  be  made  to  hold  several  months  of  running  racing 
over  the  track  each  year.

Queen  of  Hearts  for  a  very  handsome  filly  by  Cupid

is  entered  in  the  Pacific  Breeders*  Futurity.

Major  Delmar  trotted  two  heats  to  wagon  at  the 
Chicago  Inter-City  matinee.  They  were  in  2:05%  and 
2:05% — wonderful  time  for  that  heavy  track. 


The  statement  made  that  the  Bank  of  Concord  has 
foreclosed  its  mortgage  on  the  new  fair  grounds  at 
Concord  needs  qualification  "While  it  is  true  the 
mortgage  has  been  foreclosed,  it  was  only  a  process 
of  law  to  secure  a  clear  deed  to  the  property.  Some 
twelve  or  fifteen  of  the  citizens  of  Concord  and  vicin- 
ity have  put  up  the  money  for  the  indebtedness,  and 
intend  spending  two  or  three  thousand  dollars  more 
on  improvements  as  soon  as  the  necessary  time  ex- 
pires after  the  foreclosure,  or  sooner  if  they  can  rea- 
sonably secure  the  right  of  equity  in  the  property. 
The  Concord  track  will  soon  be  a  popular  training 
ground  for  horsemen,  as  it  is  the  intention  of  the  new 
owners  to  keep  it  in  first  class  shape. 


Hollister's  race  meeting  will  open  one  week  from 
next  Wednesday.  The  Hollister  track  is  in  fine  shap^ 
and  some  good  racing  should  be  held.

Little  Babe  the  Bradtmoor  mare  is  not  dead  as 
reported.  It  was  a  mare  called  Black  Babe  that  passed 
in  her  cheeks  at  Santa  Rosa.  Little  Babe,  by  Bradt- 
moor, is  still  in  the  land  of  the  living,  we  are  pleased 
to  state,  and  was  a  starter  in  the  2:24  class  trot  on 
the  last  day  of  the  State  Fair  at  Sacramento. 


Bonnalet  and  Bonnie  Mc,  both  by  Bonnie  Direct, 
were  starters  in  the  pacing  and  trotting  divisions  of 
the  Hartford  Futurity,  which  were  decided  at  the 
meeting  at  Charter  Oak  Park  last  week  and  both 
were  so  unfortunate  as  to  be  distanced  the  first  heat 
of  their  races.  These  three-year-olds  have  both 
worked  in  time  as  fast  as  the  heats  in  which  they  were 
distanced. 


An  Eastern  paper  says:  Lord  Belfast,  one  of  E. 
D.  Jordan's  prize  winning  carriage  horses,  is  pointed 
out  by  the  secretary  of  the  Hackney  Horse  Society 
as  being  "bred  in  the  best  strains  of  the  hackney 
breed  and  as  near  a  perfect  specimen  of  the  type  as 
exists."  Unless  M.  F.  Ware,  S.  X.  Hexter  and  other 
horsemen  are  much  mistaken,  Lord  Belfast  is  not  a 
hackney  at  all,  but  a  native  American  trotting  bred 
horse  formerly  shown  as  Adonis  and  shipped  to  Eng- 
land or  Ireland,  where  his  breeding  as  well  as  his 
.name  seems  to  have  been  changed  before  Mr.  Jordan 
reimported  him. 


The  Broncho  paced  another  wonderful  race  at  Gales- 
burg,  Illinois,  last  Friday.  There  were  four  heats  in 
the  race  and  she  won  the  final  mile  in  2 :  03  %.  A 
break  cost  her  the  second  heat. 


The  American  Sportsman  of  Cleveland  says.  "Last 
winter  A.  C.  Pennock  purchased  from  the  Two-Min- 
ute Stock  Farm  a  pacing  filly  by  Star  Pointer,  out  of 
Javelin  2:08%.  After  Mr.  Pennock  had  worked  this 
filly  long  enough  to  demonstrate  the  fact  that  she 
had  speed  she  was  sold  and  went  into  Vance  Nuckols' 
stable.  She  was  worked  along  nicely  and  last  week 
she  was  given  a  try-out  and  stepped  the  track,  finish- 
ing easy  in  2:09*4-  She  is  a  very  handsome,  substan- 
tially-made filly  and  when  matured  will  no  doubt 
prove  to  be  another  sensational  performer  for  Star 
Pointer."  Javelin  was  bred  in  California  and  is  by 
Creole  2:15,  dam  the  great  brood  mare  Flush  by  Eg- 
mont,  the  grandam  of  that  high  class  two-year-old 
colt  McFadyen  by  Diablo. 


A  Cleveland,  Ohio,  paper  says:  "The  trotting  mar* 
Italia  by  Zombro  is  proving  the  confidence  of  her 
many  friends  by  demonstrating  the  fact  that  she  is  a 
race  mare  of  the  highest  quality.  A  good  many 
thought  that  she  did  not  have  much  class  as  a  race 
mare  after  her  showing  in  the  M.  and  M.  last  year  at 
Detroit.  She  was  not  in  condition  at  the  time  of  her 
start  at  Detroit  and  she  came  back  to  Cleveland,  was 
turned  out  and  bred  to  John  A  McKerron  2:04%. 
She  did  not  prove  to  be  in  foal  and  late  this  spring 
was  placed  in  Doc  Tanner's  stable.  She  worked  there. 
being  given  a  gradual  preparation,  and  was  sent  to 
Vance  Nuckols  recently  to  race  over  the  half-mile 
tracks.  She  has  shown  herself  to  be  a  good  game 
race  mare  and  on  Tuesday  of  this  week  won  at 
Watertown.  N.  Y,  stepping  the  second  heat  in  2:14"12. 
She  is  well  mannered  and  likes  to  race.  She  will 
join  the  Grand  Circuit  later  and  if  she  retains  her 
present  form  will  trot  in  2:10." 


Dan  Redmond  of  San  Jose  writes  us  that  he  has 
sold  the  McKinney  stallion  Willeroo  28,021,  advertised 
in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  last  month,  to  Mr.  J. 
G  Fancher  of  Indiana,  who  shipped  him  to  the 
Hoosier  State  on  the  3d  instant.  Willeroo  is  not  only 
a  well  bred  stallion,  but  his  foals  are  very  promising. 
He  was  formerly  owned  by  Mr.  Frank  H.  Burke  of 
this  city  and  showed  a  very  high  rate  of  speed  as  a 
colt,  but  met  with  an  injury  to  one  of  his  ankles  which 
prevented  his  racing. 


"The    bay    colt,    The   Jester    2:19?;,    a    new    standard 

trotter    for    Slam    B    2:11%,    son   of   Stamboul    2:07%,

The  Arrow  2:14  by  Silver  Bow  was  one  of  the  best 
types  of  carriage  horses  ever  raised  in  California. 
We  learn  that  he  was  purchased  a  year  or  two  ago 
by  Mr.  McCreery  of  Burlingame,  who  docked  and 
took  him  to  England  where  the  horse  was  sold  for 
a   thousand   pounds,    or   about    $5000. 


Talk  about  the  iniquity  of  pool  selling  on  harness 
racing!  There  was  more  money  bet  last  year  on  the 
result  of  the  vote  for  governor  of  Massachusetts 
than  has  ever  been  wagered  on  trotting  and  pacing 
races  in  that  state  inany  one  year.  There  is  more 
money  bet  in  this  country  on  the  result  of  presi-  ' 
dential  elections  than  on  harness  racing,  it  has  been 
so  from  time  immemorial  and  will  continue  to  be  so 
long  as  governors  and  presidents  are  elected. 

The  above  is  from  a  Boston  exchange,  and  is  all 
true.  The  reason  there  is  but  little  outcry  against 
betting  on  election  results  is  because  they  are  not  ; 
held  every  week  day.  There  has  never  been  any 
particular  crusade  against  betting  on  trotting  races. 
It  is  the  continuous  running  meetings  that  make;* 
pool  rooms  on  every  block  and  if  the  runners  only 
held  the  stage  one  or  two  weeks  in  the  year  at  each 
track  the  majority  of  the  anti-betting  laws  which 
are  among  the  statutes  of  po  many  states  would  never 
have  been  heard  of. 


The  beautiful  residence  and  grounds  at  San  Mateo 
owned  by  the  late  Alvinza  Hayward  have  been  sold 
to  a  syndicate  for  §225,000  The  place  contained  110 
acres  and  had  one  of  the  finest  private  mile  training 
tracks  in  California.  The  residence  will  be  remod- 
eled into  a  hotel  and  the  property  cut  up  into  build- 
ing  lots. 


It  looks  as  though  Demonio  ZillM,  own  brother  to 
Diablo  2.091/4,  might  out  sire  that  great  progenitor  of 
extreme  speed.  There,  have  been  but  very  few  of  his 
get,  but  they  have  invariably  shown  wonderful  speed 
at  either  pace  or  trot.  The  Saisun  Republican  of 
last  week  says:  "During  the  present  racing  season 
Mannie  Reams,  the  trainer,  has  taken  Nordwell,  a 
three-year-old  colt  by  Demonio,  to  the  different  tracks 
to  keep  up  his  training.  The  colt  has  attracted  the 
attention  of  many  of  the  horsemen.  "Will  Durfee.  Cali- 
fornia's crack  relnsman,  being  particularly  interested. 
A  week  ago  last  Saturday  Mr.  DtH-fee  was  given 
permission  to  make  a  test  of  NordwelTs  speed  for 
half  a  mile,  with  the  result  that  the  distance  was 
covered  in  the  remarkable  time  of  1:02%,  second 
quarter  in  31  seconds  and  last  eighth  in  14  1-5  sec- 
onds. The  young  horse  is  very  game  and  his  show- 
ing of  speed  makes  him  a  great  prospect  for  next 
season.  Nordwell  has  been  in  training  since  April 
4th  of  the  present  year,  this  date  being  the  first  time 
he  ever  set  foot  on  a  race  track.  We  have  it  upon 
reliable  authority  that  Muzzy  has  been  offered  §2000 
for    Nordwell. 


The  dam  of  Tiverton  2:04%,  the  greatest  race  geld-

THE   GOLD   CUP    RACE. 


STATE    FAIR    A    SUCCESS. 


FAMOUS   COWS    FOR    PORTLAND    STOCK    SHOW. 


"he  greatest  amateur  event  on  the  trotting  track  is 
&  race  at  the  annual  Inter-City  Matinee  for  the 
$00  gold  cup.  It  was  won  this  year  at  Chicago  hy  the 
Ftsburg  Club's  representative,  Dr.  Strong  2:06,  and 
|j  race  is  described  in  the  American  Sportsman  as 
flows:  The  starters  were  Dr.  Strong,  Tom  Ax- 
vrthy,  Aerolite  and  Prince  of  Orange. 

Fow  Axworthy  showed  up  quite  lame  and  every 
H'seman  who  saw  him  score  felt  he  could  not  win. 
Tjere  was  considerable  scoring  befoie  the  go.  At  the 
s  it  Mr.  Billings  took  Prince  of  Orange  out  in  front, 
lie  handsome  trotter  moved  along  with  Aerolite  to 
t  turn,  the  mare  having  the  pole,  but  the  Prince 
tik  the  track  before  the  quarter  was  reached.  Dr. 
Song  moved  up  to  Aerolite  around  the"  turn,  and  the 
Tee  were  pretty  well  bunched  at  the  quarter  in  :33*4. 
I  wn  the  back  stretch  the  Prince  let  out  a  link  and 
hi  the  track,  but  going  around  the  upper  turn  Dr. 
gong  moved  past  Aerolite  and  was  only  a  length  be- 
hjd  the  Billings  horse.  As  they  turned  into  the 
hne  stretch  Dr.  Strong  came  along  in  the  middle  of 
4-  track  with  a  powerful  stride  that  even  at  that 
Sge  made  him  look  like  a  winner.  Mr.  Billings 
Rye  a  magnificent  finish  with  the  Prince  of  Orange, 
feging  the  pole  and  keeping  the  horse  on  his  stride, 
^t  the  Prince  was  tiring,  and  at  the  short  distance 
h  broke  and  fell  back,  enabling  Aerolite  to  slip  into 
sond  place,  Dr.  Strong  winning  by  two  lengths, 
e  ed  up,  in  2:09%. 

n  the  second  heat  Mr.  Callery  took  no  chances. 
1  sent  Dr.  Strong  to  the  front  on  the  first  turn  and 
lis  never  headed.  Turning  into  the  back  stretch  Mr. 
Jies  began  making  a  wonderful  drive  with  Tom 
■worthy.  He  quickly  passed  Aerolite  and  took  after 
t-  pair  in  front.  Dr.  Strong  was.  at  the  half  in 
l>6%,  and  at  that  point  Axworthy  was  at  least 
I  lengths  behind  him.  On  came  Dr.  Strong  with 
Boated  speed,  but  in  spite  of  all  he  could  do  the 
Eky  roan  gelding  gained  on  him.  Down  the  home 
■letch  it  was  still  Dr.  Strong  in  front  and  Prince  of 
( inge  second,  but  beaten.  Tom  Axworthy  was  gain- 
R;  all  the  time,  but  the  distance  was  too  great  to 
K  overcome,  and  the  best  he  could  do  was  to  nose 
I;  Prince  of  Orange  for  second  place,  Dr.  Strong 
fcning  in  hand  in  2:09.  He  trotted  the  last  half  in 
Bi2%  and  did  it  easy.  Then  the  Pittsburg  Club 
Bnt  wild  and  Mr.  Callery  received  a  great  ovation. 
I.  Pickering,  the  owner  of  Dr.  Strong,  was  probably 
t;  happiest  man.

Sacramento  Bee:  The  late  State  Fair  was  a  suc- 
cess, from  the  standpoint  of  attendance,  the  character 
of  the  livestock  and  Pavilion  exhibits  and  the  racing, 
but  whether  the  State  Agricultural  Society  made  any 
money  is  yet  to  be  determined.  The  judgment  of 
Secretary  Albert  Lindley  and  Financial  Secretary  L. 
R.  Miller  is  that  the  Society  will  come  out  about  even, 
with  the  possibility  of  a  small  amount  on  the  right 
side  of  the  ledger.  Miller  said  today  that  it  will  be 
some  time  before  the  matter  can  be  sifted  down  to  one 
of  dollars  and  cents,  as  is  the  case  every  year.  It 
can  not  be  told  immediately  upon  the  close  of  a 
Fair  what  the  exact  condition  of  finances  is. 

He  stated  that  the  premiums  for  Pavilion  exhibits 
had  not  been  paid  and  that  hundreds  of  bills  against 
the  society  are  outstanding.  Some  of  the  directors 
have  paid  bils  out  of  their  own  pockets,  and  until 
returns  have  been  made  on  all  these  it  will  be  im- 
possible to  tell  how  the  society  really  stands. 

As  far  as  the  racing  end  of  the  fair  is  concerned, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  race  meeting  just  closed 
was  one  of  the  most  successful  given  by  the  society 
In  a  decade  or  more.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  this 
year  the  society  received  no  revenue  from  the  betting 
privilege,  by  reason  of  a  legislative  inhibition,  the  di- 
rectors feel  that  the  track  did  even  more  than  was 
hoped  for  by  the  most  sanguine. 

Within  the  last  ten  years  the  revenue  from  the  bet- 
ting privilege  has  ranged  from  $10,000  to  $12,000  an- 
nually, with  $17,500  as  the  big  figure.  This  was  the 
amount  paid  by  George  Rose  ten  years  ago,  when  the 
Native  Sons  held  their  Admission  Day  celebration 
here. 

Every  horseman  who  won  any  part  of  the  stakes 
or  purses  offered  this  year  drew  his  money  by  11 
o'clock  the  day  following.  His  money  was  in  the 
keeping  of  the  entry  clerk  at  the  park,  and  all  he 
had  to  do  was  to  present  his  demand  and  it  was 
promptly  paid. 

For  many  years  past  horsemen  have  had  difficulty 
in  getting  their  money,  and  only  recently  the  so- 
ciety paid  racing  claims  which  had  been  standing 
against  it  for  many  years. 

This  year  admission  to  the  Pavilion  was  free,  and 
the  society  did  not  derive  any  revenue  from  this 
source.  In  lieu  of  this,  it  was  entitled  to  a  percentage 
of  the  receipts  from  the  concessions  located  in  the 
White  City,  adjoining  the  Pavilion,  but  it  is  under- 
stood that  the  patronage  was  not  up  to  expectations, 
consequently  the  society's  receipts  will  no%  be  as  great 
as  anticipated.  Until  a  settlement  is  had  with  the 
Native  Sons  the  receipts  from  this  source  can  not  be 
determined. 


^he  blood  of  Robert  McGregor  2:17%  is  found  in 
ny  of  the  season's  fastest  trotters,  i.  e.,  Snyder  Mc- 
igor  2:06%,  Kid  Shay  and  Robert  Mc  2:0S%  being 
sons,  while  Deloree  2.09%,  Katherine  L  (3)  2:12% 
1  Norman  (2)  2:19,  respectively  the  fastest  "green" 
tting  mare,  three-year-old  trotting  filly  and  two- 
ir-old  trotting  filly,  have  each  a  close  cross  to  "the 
narch  of  the  homestretch." 


HORSES  IN   CALIFORNIA. 


C.  A.  Smithley,  an  Illinois  gentleman  who  has  been 
traveling  in  California,  writes  as  follows  to  the  Breed- 
ers' Gazette  of  Chicago:  A  prolonged  visit  through 
trre  great  valley  of  San  Joaquin  river,  which  is  lo- 
cated between  the  Coast  Range  and  the  Sierra  Nevada, 
and  comprises  the  best  part  of  the  State  of  California, 
enables  one  to  write  of  its  horses.  It  is  a  most  beau- 
tiful valley  and  is  devoted  to  stock-growing  and 
farming.  There  are  some  fine  ranches  located  here, 
the  property  of  cattlemen  mostly,  but  the  country  is 
more  properly  adapted  to  the  horse,  which  is  being 
most  shamefully  neglected.  Here  there  are  but  few 
ranchmen  who  have  more  horses  than  are  wanted  for 
their  personal  use,  and  nine-tenths  of  them  are  com- 
mon-bred broncos  and  not  in  demand  at  the  prices 
of  decent  horses. 

Good  draft  horses  are  in  strong  demand  but  are 
very  scarce  and  will  remain  so  for  years  to  come 
because  of  the  scarcity  of  good  breeding  stock,  the 
prices  of  which  are  high  also.  The  people  here  are  not 
educated  to  know  the  value  of  the  well-bred  horse  as 
they  are  in  the  East.  I  have  seen  many  herds  of 
horses  in  this  state  in  the  past  three  months,  but  only 
one  first-class  stud  of  heavy  draft  horses. 

There  are  many  large  companies  located  here  which 
use  many  horses  in  heavy  work  in  the  lumber  yards 
and  mills  and  they  have  some  very  nice  teams,  but 
most  of  these  horses  are  ill  bred  ones  that  happen  to 
have  size.  Such  horses  are  in  demand  and  bring 
from  $450  to  $600  a  pair,  while  first-class  ton  horses 
in  San  Francisco  will  bring  $S00  a  pair. 

I  am  sorry  to  say  that  the  coach  horse  is  as  scarce 
as  the  draft  horse  and  would,  if  he  could  be  found, 
sell  for  long  prices,  but  he  is  not  here  to  be  had 
and  the  rich-  people  drive  all  kinds  of  teams  in  their 
carriage  service,  good,  bad  and  indifferent  as  they 
happen  to  be.  The  rich  people  are  able  and  willing 
to  pay  for  good  teams,  but  they  are  obliged  to  take 
what  they  can  get  and  be  satisfied.  They  have  some 
trotters  here  that  are  up  to  date,  also  some  Thorough- 
breds that  are  very  fine,  but  the  draft  and  coach 
horses  are  neglected  shamefully  and  that  with  the 
demand  in  excess  of  the  supply. 

Ranchmen,  however,  are  beginning  to  see  the  condf-. 
tions  and  are  thinking  it  is  time  to  do  something  to 
meet  them,  but  they  are  at  a  loss  to  know  where  they 
will  get  breeding  stock  of  the  kind  that  will  produce 
horses  to  fill  the  bill.  I  predict  that  in  a  few  years 
this  great  valley  will  be  dotted  with  herds  of  fine 
horses. 

The  land  is  naturally  adapted  to  stock  raising  and 
horses  can  be  fed  here  as  cheaply  as  they  can  any- 
where in  the  world.  The  grass  grows  the  year  round 
and  alfalfa  flourishes  as  it  does  nowhere  else.  It  can 
be  cut  six  and  seven  times  annually  under  favorable 
conditions  and  all  I  see  in  the  way  of  horses  here  is 
that  the  people  are  satisfied  to  breed  what  they  have 
rather  than  to  pay  the  prices  of  good  breeding  stock. 
Another  reason  for  this  condition  being  so  common  is 
the  very  small  expense  connected  with  feeding  horses. 


PORTLAND,  Sept.  10.— Fair  Queen,  champion  of 
many  fairs,  and,  as  a  cow  which  has  never  been 
beaten,  entitled  to  rank  as  one  of  the  greatest  show 
cows  living,  is  entered  in  the  Shorthorn  class  at  the 
stock  show  which  is  to  be  held  at  the  Lewis  and  Clark 
Exposition  from  September  19  to  29.  Fair  Queen  took 
championship  honors  at  the  World's  Fair  at  SL  Louis 
last  year,  and  also  at  the  International  Live  Stock 
Shows  held  at  Chicago  in  1903  and  1904,  and  at  the 
American  Royal  Show  at  Kansas  City  in  the  same 
years.  She  is  the  holder  of  various  premiums  won  at 
leading  State  fairs  all  over  the  country. 

"In  the  Shorthorn  show  the  class  of  cattle  will  be 
the  highest  in  ttue  United  States,"  said  M.  D.  Wisdom, 
livestock  superitnendent  at  the  Exposition.  '-It  will 
be  a  show  of  great  quality  and  one  that  people  can- 
not afford  to  miss.  The  Shorthorn  show  in  general 
will  be  equal  to  any  show  ever  held  in  America 
of  this  breed  of  cattle. 

"In  the  Holstein  class,"  continued  the  superintend- 
ent, "the  Hazelwood  Farm  Company  of  Spokane  has 
entered  20  head  of  show  stock  chosen  from  70  head 
which  the  company  purchased  in  Wisconsin.  These 
are  the  best  of  the  class  to  be  found.  They  will  com- 
pete against  the  world's  champion  herd  of  the  Pierce 
Land  and  Stock  Company  of  California,  a  herd  which 
is  without  question  the  finest  in  the  world.  The 
Pierce  Land  and  Stock  Company  imported  40  head 
from  Holland  last  year  and  the  bull  that  heads  the 
herd  is  one  of  the  importation.  He  is  considered  the 
finest  bull  of  the  breed  living  today.  Besides  these 
two  herds,  John  B.  Irvin  of  Wisconsin,  who  won  at 
St.  Louis  last  year,  and  P.  A.  Frakes  of  Oregon,  who 
also  owns  some  St.  Louis  prize  winners,  will  show  at 
the  fair. 

"In  Jerseys  there  will  be  shown  a  fine  and  select 
herd  from  the  Hazel  Fern  Farm,  owned  by  the  W.  S. 
Ladd  estate.  This  is  one  of  the  finest  herds  of  Jer- 
seys in  the  world,  and  the  stock  sent  to  the  show  ring 
will  be  the  very  finest  specimens  of  the  breed  procur- 
able anywhere.  In  competition  with  the  Hazel  Fern 
herd  will  be  the  herd  of  Dr.  Still  of  Missouri,  which 
was  prominent  among  first  prize  winners  at  St.  Louis 
last  year,  and  which  has  been  recuperated  in  size  and 
merit.  Besides  these  two  there  will  be  a  number  of 
local  herds  of  quality,  including  those  of  Harry  West, 
D.  H.  Looney,  A.  C.  Martin,  B.  Altman  and  Atkinson 
Brothers,  all  of  Oregon.  In  sheep,  swine  and  goats 
all  the  prominent  breeds  will  be  represented  by  the 
finest  type  of  animals." 

The  sheds  for  the  stock  show  on  the  Government  Pe- 
ninsula at  the  Exposition  are  nearing  completion. 
They  are  of  improved  style,  in  every  way  adapted  to 
the  purpose.  Everything  will  be  in  readiness  for  the 
stock  show  several  days  before  September  19,  the 
opening  day,  and  prospects  are  good  for  a  remark- 
ably large  attendance  from  Pacific  Coast  states. 


SAN    FRANCISCO    DRIVING   CLUB. 


The  San  Francisco  Driving  Club  gave  a  program  of 
five  races  at  Ingleside  track  on  Saturday  last.  The 
totalisator  was  used  for  the  betting  and  met  with 
much  favor  from  the  crowd.  All  the  tickets  were 
used  up  before  the  last  race  so  the  machine  could  not 
be  used  for  that  event.  The  bettors  voted  this  sys- 
tem, which  is  the  same  as  the  pari  mutuel,  satisfactory 
in  every  way  and  a  great  improvement  over  the  syn- 
dicate book.     The  results  were  as  follows: 

First  race,  2:30  class,  first  heat — Won  by  Dynamite, 
Dan  Alden  second,  Joe  Mc  third.  Second  heat — Won 
by  Dynamite,  Joe  Mc  second,  Dick  third.  Time,  2:26, 
2:27%. 

Second  race,  3:00  class,  first  heat — Won  by  Dexter 
Wilkes,  Chatterbox  second,  Luly  F.  third.  Second 
heat — Won  by  Dexter  Wilkes,  Bay  Ike  second,  Lulu  F. 
third.  Second  money  divided  between  Chatterbox  and 
Bay  Ike.    Time,  2:27,  2:33%. 

Third  race,  free  for  all,  first  heat — Won  by  Charlie 
J.,  Walter  "Wilkes  second,  Kitty  D.  third.  Second  heat 
— Won  by  Flor.a  G.,  Kitty  D.  second,  Charlie  J.  third. 
Winners  of  race,  Flora  G.  first,  Charlie  J.  second,  Kitty 
D.   third.      Time,    2:23,   2:23%,    2:22%. 

Fourth  race,  2:25  class,  won  in  straight  heats — King 
Cadenza,  first,  Verona  second,  Grace  McKinny  third. 
Time,   2:24%,    2:25%. 

Fifth  race,  2:40  class,  won  in  straight  heats — Moffitt 
D.  first,  Ed  Ray  second,  Senator  Hurst  third.  Time. 
2:30,  2:25. 


Betting  on  horse  races  at  the  tracks  where  the 
racing  is  held  is  not  permitted  in  San  Francisco  ex- 
cept during  a  limited  period  or  by  special  permit, 
and  yet  there  is  hardly  a  cigar  stand  in  the  whole 
city  where  a  foreign  book  is  not  run  every  day  'in 
the  year. 


DISTEMPER     READILY    CURED. 


The  class  of  diseases  coming  under  the  head  of  distemper,  epi- 
zootic pinkeye,  etc.  doubtless  directly  or  Indirectly  cause  more 
loss  to  stock  owners  than  all  others.  How  Important  it  is,  there- 
fore, that  no  one  overlook  a  prcmpt  and  certain  cure  for  these  ail- 
ments. Craft's  Distemper  and  Cough  Cure,  advertised  in  another 
column,  has  been  so  lone  on  the  market  and  Is  so  widely  used  that 
there  seems  to  be  no  doubt  that  it  has  really  remarkable  properties 

Further  It  Is  sold  under  a  guarantee  to  refund  the  mooey  if  It 
falls.  The  proprietors,  The  Wells  Medicine  Co,  13  Third  St,

Sportsman,  a  copy  of  their  latest  pamphlet  "Veterinary  Point- 
ers." Aside  from  the  full  Information  it  gives  about  this  remedy, 
the  pamphlet  is  valuable  for  the  general  information  It  gives  In 
regard  to  diagnosing  and  treating  diseases  of  stock.  Write  for  It 
before  you  forget  It. 


El   Milagro  by  McKinney  won  a  heat  in   2:12%   at 
Hartford  in  the  2:12  trot.

"Yer  kain't  ketch  nothin'   'ith   them  *ar  things. 
Huh!    yarn   fer  bodies  an'   feathers   fer  wings — 
Yer  must  think  the  trout  is  terrible  fools 
Ter   be    ketched    'ith    sech    outlandish    tools. 

"An'    look   at   thet   pole — that   won't    do ; 
A  good  big  trout  would  bust  it  in  two. 
An'   never  think  nuthin'  uv  what  he  did; 
Quick  as   lightnin",  away  he'd  skid.

Ef  thar  haint  a  win'lass  filled  'ith  thread. 
An'   ther  littlest  sort  uv  thread  at  that — 
Why.   man,   that  wouldn't  hold  a  gnat! 

"Yaas,  thar's  a  good  place  over  thar,

ORIGIN     AND     PRODUCTION     OF     FISHING     GUT. 


Jackson's    Napa  Soda  untangles  the  feet. 


An  interesting  paper  on  fishing  gut — its  history 
from  the  silkworm  egg  to  the  thread  of  the  worm  and 
its  preparation  for  angling,  with  .methods  of  treat- 
ment and  use — was  read  before  the  Gresham  Angling 
Society,  London,  by  the  Honorable  Secretary,  Mr.  F. 
E.  Eldred,  March  21st,  1905.  In  the  main  the  author 
has  sought  his  information  from  English  importers, 
and  particularly  from  Mr.  S.  Allcock.  of  Redditch, 
one  of  the  oldest  tackle  manufacturers  in  England. 
His  deductions  are  correct  as  a  rule  and  his  per- 
sonal views  have  the  value  that  they  are  those  of  a 
prominent  ^ngler  whose  experience  has  been  broad 
and  deep,  wherever  the  strand  of  silkworm  gut  is 
used  in  his  native  waters.  The  paper  was  originally 
published  in  the  Fishing  Gazette  and  the  author  says: 

The  silkworm  moth  lays  a  number  of  eggs,  from  250 
to  300,  on  the  leaves,  generally  mulberry,  which  are 
the  food  of  the  grub  when  hatched.  These  eggs, 
which  somewhat  resemble  spiders'  eggs,  are  hatched 
by  the  sun's  heat,  and  when  the  grub  emerges  it  is 
about  a  quarter  of  an  inch  in  length,  and  looks  like 
a  small  black  worm.  It  at  once  commences  to  feed, 
and  in  from  eight  to  ten  days  it  casts  its  skin  and 
assumes  a  greyish  color.  This  operation  over,  it 
continues  to  feed,  and  in  five  or  six  days  it  moults  a 
second  time,  and  after  five  more  days,  moults  a  third 
time.  In  the  intervals  between  these  processes  it 
grows  considerably,  and  when  it  moults  for  the  fourth 
and  last  time,  it  has  grown  to  be  from  one  and  a 
half  to  two  inches  in  length,  and  is  now  a  perfect 
caterpillar.  Ten  days  later  it  searches  for  a  con- 
venient place  where  it  can  form  its  cocoon,  and  for 
this  purpose  it  mounts  upon,  and  attaches  itself  to 
twigs  by  a  number  of  fine  filaments  of  silk. 

Naturally,  in  the  silk  and  silkworm  gut-producing 
districts  of  Spain  and  Italy,  every  care  is  taken  to 
assist  the  little  creature,  both  in  providing  it  with 
food  and  shelter,  and  in  forming  for  the  caterpillar 
layers  of  branches  and  twigs  to  which  it  can  attach 
its  cocoon.  It  is  at  this  point  that  further  develop- 
ment is  arrested  if  it  is  to  produce  silkworm  gut.  If, 
however,  it  is  to  produce  silk,  it  is  allowed  to  form  its 
cocoon,  which  it  does  by  spinning  around  itself  art 
oval-shaped  dwelling;  this  operation  takes  four  days. 
When  the  cocoon  is  finished  it  smears  the  inside  with 
a  silky  kind  of  gum  from  its  spinnerets.  This  hard- 
ens, and  its  house  is  made  waterproof.  During  the 
whole  operation  of  forming  its  cocoon  it  is  gradually 
undergoing  a  change,  and  this  change  continues  until 
it  has  become  a  more  or  less  rounded  ball,  some- 
what elongated,  and  covered  with  a  smooth,  shell- 
like skin.  It  is  to  all  appearances  dead,  and  is  now 
termed  a  chrysalis.  If  left  to  itself,  in  about  ten 
days  it  changes  into  a  moth,  and  works  its  way  out 
of  its  cocoon  by  ejecting  from  its  mouth  a  liquor 
which  dissolves  the  gum  lining  its  dwelling,  and  then 
with  its  head  and  hooked  feet  it  pushes  its  way 
through  its  silky  envelope,  and  emerges  as  a  perfect 
.moth,  and  thus  the  cycle  of  changes  is  complete.  It 
is  curious  to  note  that  the  animal  never  dies — only 
a  series  of  metamorphoses  go  on,  by  which,  appar- 
ently, distinct  forms  of  life  are  assumed. 

Now,  to  turn  to  the  stage  where  its  development 
is  arrested,  if  it  is  to  produce  silkworm  gut,  and  to 
us.  as  anglers,  the  most  interesting.  As  most  of  the 
silkworm  gut  is  obtained  from  Spain.  Murcia  being 
the  center  of  the  industry,  it  would  perhaps  be  as 
well  to  follow  the  modus  operandi  which  obtains 
there.  The  worms  are  bred  by  country  people  in  their 
cottages,  consisting  of  but  two  rooms  on  the  ground 
floor.  This  industry  is  the  sole  occupation  of  the 
villagers  near  Murcia,  and  while  some  of  them  breed 
the  worms,  others  perform  the  initial  stages  in  gut 
making.  A  number  of  bamboo  rods  are  tied  together 
by  the  breeder,  in  order  to  form  a  bed  from  twelve  i" 
fifteen  feet  long  by  four  feet  wide,  and  raised  about 
a  foot  from  the  floor  of  the  room.  On  this  bed  are 
spread  the  worms,  which  are  fed  five  times  daily  with 
mulberry  leaves.  Great  care  is  taken  to  pick  out  all 
sickly  worms,  in  order  that  only  good,  sound  gut  may 
be  produced. 

When  the  worms  are  ready  to  spin  the  cocoon,  they 
creep  upon  branches  of  trees  which  are  placed  over 
the  bed.     They  are  taken  off  these  branches,  and  are 


killed  by  being  put  into  vinegar,  in  which  they 
main  for  .six  hours,  after  which  they  are  thorouf 
washed  in  clean  "water.  Girls  take  the  worms  f 
the  water,  break  them  in  half  with  their  fingei 
posing  the  one,  two  or  three  yellow  sacs  whic] 
worm  possesses.  This  is  a  delicate  but  very 
operation,  and  great  care  is  necessary  in  the  hand 
of  the  worm.  The  ends  of  each  sac  are  taken  betw 
the  thumb  and  finger,  and  gently  but  firmly  pulled 
as  far  as  the  sac  will  go  without  breaking,  consic 
able  skill  being  required  in  drawing  to  keep  the 
elongated  sac  and  contents  as  round  as  poi 
The  ends  of  the  sac  are  secured,  and  the  gut 
envelope  placed  so  that  they  may  dry  and  h; 
Each  strand  when  dry  has  a  yellow  appearance, 
color  being  due  to  the  surrounding  sac,  its  shape 
ing  more  or  less  round,  and  tapering  more  or  ] 
according  to  the  care  taken  in  drawing  from  one 
to    the   other. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that,  even  in  worms  of 
same  size,  there  is  not  the  same  number  of  sacs,  sc 
worms  possessing  one,  others  two.  or  even  th 
sacs. 

The  strands  tied  up  in  bundles,  are  now  turned  o 
to  the  finishers,  and  their  first  operation  is  to  r< 
the  outer  skin  which  surrounds  the  gut  proper, 
is  done  by  steeping  or  boiling  the  gut  in  wai 
which  is  added  some  soap  and  soda.  The 
then  easily  removed  by  drawing  through  the 
The  color  is  now  a  dirty  white.  It  is  now 
several  times  in  clean  water  to  remove  all  traces 
soap  and  soda,  and  then  bleached.  This  bleach 
process  may  be  performed  by  dampening  and  expos 
the  gut  to  the  action  of  sunlight,  or  it  may  be  che 
ically  treated.  The  former  process  is  theslower 
the  more  natural  and  the  safer  way.  though  from 
quiries  which  have  been  made,  it  is  asserted  that 
the  hands  of  A  skillful  operative  no  injury  is  ti- 
the gut  by  adopting  the  chemical  method. 

It  has  now  a  rather  dull,  certainly  by  no  means 
shiny  appearance,  and  it  is,  from  an  angler's  po 
of  view,  quite  a  question  whether  it  would  not 
better  to  omit  the  polishing  process  altogether.  T 
polishing  is  performed  by  rubbing  each  strand  <h 
by  the  teeth  and  hand)  with  wash-leather.  It  is  n 
assorted  according  to  length,  strength  and  thickn 
into  the  various  qualities,  an  operation  requiring  v* 
great  experience  and  judgment.  It  is  now  tied  up 
hanks  of  100  and  made  up  into  bundles  of  1000 
10.000  and  is  ready  for  export.  It  is  usually  classif 
thus:  Refina,  very  finest;  Fina,  fine;  Regular,  ol 
medium  thickness:  First  and  Second  Padron.  thii 
Marana,  Imperial  and  Hebra  are  very  thick  a 
strong,  suitable  for  salmon  fishing.  All  the  above 
undrawn,  that  is,  they  have  not  been  through  a  dra 
ing-plate   to   level   them. 

Drawn  Gut.— In  order  to  level  the  thicker  and 
make  finer  the  finer  qualities  for  the  market,  i 
strands  are  drawn  through  steel  plates,  or  e\ 
through  minute  circular  apertures  in  precious  stoi 
set  in  the  drawing-plate.  This  makes  the  strai 
perfectly  parallel  throughout  and  perfectly  round, 
the  same  time  compressing  and  slightly  elongati 
them.  Thus  gut  of  any  desired  fineness  is  obta 
able. 

Staining. — This  process  is  performed  by  the  act 
of  chemicals,  and  the  question  is  what  chemical  < 
be  used  to  give  the  desired  shade  and  at  the  sa 
time  not  injure  the  gut.  In  order  to  produce  a  m 
tral  or  slate  color  pounded  lokwood  is  steeped 
water,  to  which  is  added  a  small  quantity  of  c< 
peras,  but  great  care  and  skill  are  required  or 
gut  is  spoiled. 

The  Keeping  of  Gut. — Opinions  on  this  are  Vi 
much  divided  and  it  would  be  presumptious  on  ] 
part  to  suggest,  as  some  anglers  do.  that  all 
should  be  discarded  at  the  end  of  the  fishing  se 
and  a  new  lot  obtained  at  the  commencement  of  s 
other.  Personally,  I  have  found  that  gut,  if  prope 
stored — that  is.  placed  where  the  light  is  est 
and  where  the  temperature  is  even — will  keep  foi 
eral  years  without  undergoing  much  diminutii 
strength. 

Tying. — Into  the  question  of  knotting  I  do  not  pi 
pose  to  go.  beyond  remarking  that  whatever  knot 
used  it  should  be  as  neat  as  possible  and  that  t 
cast  should  he  tested  knot  by  knot  and  then  in 
entire  length  with  such  a  strain  that  it  is  estimat 
the  gut  should  bear. 

In    the   discussion   which   followed   much   useful 
formation    was    elicited    and    the    following    questic 
proposed: 

1.     Does   drawing  injure  the  gut? 

_'.  Is  it  not  a  fact  that  nearly  all,  and  all  the  fii 
sizes  are  drawn? 

3.  Does  boiling,  to  rid  it  of  the  sac,  injure  the  gi 

4.  Is  the  gut  fibrous  or  homogeneous? 

5.  Has   it   a   second   skin? 

6.  Does  staining  injure  the  gut? 

7.  Which  colored  gut  is  the  least  visible  to  fli 
for  example,   trout? 

s.     Does  gut  deteriorate  with  keeping? 

In  order  that  definite  information  might  be  giv 
in  answer  to  these  questions,  it  was  agreed  to  adjoii 
the  discussion,  and  after  various  authorities  had  b(i 
consulted,  and  a  number  of  chemical,  physical  a 
microscopical  experiments  had  been  performed,  t 
following  results  were   obtained? 

1.     Does  drawing  injure  the  gut? 

Drawing,  when  performed  by  an  experienced 
man,  injures  the  gut  very  little,  but  it  tends  t< 
duce  a  liability  to  tray  with  usage.  It  decreast 
diameter,  but  it  is  found  that  taking  strands  of 
diameters  the  undrawn  will  support  no  greater  wei 
than  the  drawn.  In  the  undrawn  sample  the  surft 
is  smoother,  as  may  be  seen  by  comparing  specimt 
of  drawn  and  undrawn  gut  under  the  microsco 
Minute  roughnesses  are  visible  on  the  surface  of  i 
latter  and  these  roughnesses  become  accentuated 
use  and  small  fibers  peel  off.  thus  weakening  the  t 
as  the  diameter  decreases.  These  roughnesses  are 
some  extent  got  rid  of  by  polishing  the  gut,  and  t 
should  be  done  by  rubbing  in  one  direction  only,  tl 
is,   with   the   fiber.     This  polish,  however,   is  just  c

of  the  things  anglers  do  not  require,  as  polished  gui 
undoubtedly  scares  the  fish.  The  principal  reason 
why  undrawn  gut  is  not  so  dependable,  size  for  size. 
as  drawn,  is  that  inferior  qualities  of  undrawn  gut 
are  often  drawn  and  appears  to  possess,  except  to  the 
experienced  eye,  the  same  characteristics  as  undrawn 
gut. 

The  only  remedy  which  the  angler  has  is  to  pur- 
chase from  firms  which  will  guarantee  that  the  qual- 
ity is  of  the  best.  If  this  be  done  one  may  now  and 
then  get  a  weak  cast,  but  the  chances  of  this  hap- 
pening are  minimized.  It  is  the  falsest  economy  to 
buy  Inferior  qualities,  in  this,  as  in  most  things. 

2.  Is  it  not  a  fact  that  nearly  all,  and  all  the  finer 
sizes  are  drawn? 

From  inquiries  made  of  one  of  the  largest  gut  im- 
porters in  the  world,  there  is  no  doubt  whatever  that 
nearly  all  the  finer,  and  all  the  finest  casts  are  made 
up  from  drawn  gut  which  has  passed  through  the 
drawing-plate  a  greater  or  less  number  of  times. 
However,  casts  can  be,  and  are,  made  from  6x  drawn 
gut  which  will  support  a  dead  weight  of  one  pound 
without  breaking.  A  cast  with  less  breaking  strain 
than  this  would,  in  the  hands  of  a  skillful  angler,  be 
sufficiently  strong  to  kill  a  trout  of  two  or  three  times 
this  weight. 

3.  Does  boiling,  to  rid  it  of  its  sac,  injure  the  gut? 
This   depneds   largely   on   the   manipulator.     In    the 

hands  of  a  skilled  workman  no  injury  whatever  re- 
sults. 

^  4,  and  5.  Is  the  gut  fibrous  or  homogeneous?  Has 
»  a  second  skin? 

r  Transverse  and  vertisal  sections  placed  under  a 
high-power  microscope  show  conclusively  that  the 
only  skin  the  gut  has  is  the  skin  of  the  sac,  and  this 
is  only  seen  in  the  raw  article.  Microscopic  investi- 
gation further  shows,  as  one  might  expeet  from  the 
evidence  of  frayed  gut,  that  gut  is  fibrous,  and  not 
homogeneous    throughout.      The    fibers,    however,    are 

-;  very  fine,  and  do  not  appear  to  be  of  any  great 
length. 

6.  Does  staining  injure  the  gut? 

The  evidence  on  this  point  is  that  staining  does 
more  or  less  injure  the  gut,  but  in  the  hands  of  a 
skillful  man,  this  injury  is  reduced  to  a  minimum. 
To  show  how  careful  one  must  be  a  prominent  manu- 
facturer voluteered  the  information,  that  through 
some  carelessness  on  the  part  of  one  of  his  employees 
over  $1000  worth  of  gut  was  spoiled. 

7.  Which  colored  gut  is  the  least  visible  to  fish, 
for  example,  trout? 

There  is  no  doubt  whatever  that  gut  which  most 
approximates  to  water  in  color  is  the  least  visible 
to  the  eye  of  man,  and  probably  to  that  of  a  fish. 
This  color  is  a  very  light  blue-green. 

White  gut,  when  placed  floating  on  clear  water, 
has  a  wliiter  appearance,  where  the  water  and  gut 
touch,   than   gut   of   neutral   tint. 

8.  Does  gut  deteriorate  with  keeping? 

Definite  information  on  this  head  is  fortunately 
.  forthcoming.  Gut  may  be  kept  several  years  if 
stored  in  a  temperature  of  about  60  deg.  F.  in  a  room 
j  from  which  the  light  is  carefully  excluded,  but  it 
seriously  deteriorates  if  kept  in  too  warm  a  place. 
■  Mr.  Allcock  says:  "You  need  not  discard  gut  unless 
',  worn  out  by  use.  Keep  it  in  wash  leather  in  a  drawer 
.  in  your  bedroom." 

Whether  soaking  in  certain  preparations  tends  to 
increase_l.he  life  of  gut  or  not  I  am  not  prepared  to 
assert  or  deny,  as  I  have  no  experience  on  this  point. 
I  have  tried  soaking  in  glycerine,  but  I  have  not 
given  it  a  sufficiently  long  trial  to  enable  me  to  speak 
with  certainty  either  one  way  or  the  other. 


San   Mateo  Show. 

The  San  Mateo  Kennel  Club  second  annual  one- 
day  open  air  show  at  the  picturesque  polo  field  of 
Chas.  W.  Clark,  Esq.,  was  voted,  by  the  majority  of 
the  large  crowd  of  visitors  and  exhibitors,  to  be  a 
success  in   almost  every  respect. 

The  average  quality  of  the  dogs  shown  was  good, 
particularly  so  in  Fox  Terriers,  English  Setters,  Irish 
Water  Spaniels,  Cocker  Spaniels,  Collies,  Bulldogs, 
Bull  Terriers  and  Bostons. 

The   catalogue    shows   an    entry   of   239    dogs,    thus 
making  the  show  a  three-point  show.

Pacific  Coast  Handicap — The  Ingleside  grounds  were 
for  preliminary  work  on  Thursday  morning, 
Among  the  visiting  shooters  were:  Rollo  Heikes,  Tom 
Marshall,  Jack  Fanning.  Chan  Powers,  D.  W.  King,  Jr., 
Frank  L.  Carter,  J.  Ed.  Vaughan,  H.  C.  Hirschy.  Billy 
.  Fred  Gilbert,  C.  D.  Plank,  E.  D.  Hagerman, 
Chas.  Van  Valkenburg.  Guy  Lovelace.  E.  H.  Bungay 
and  others,  besides  a  large  local  contingent. 

Elmer  E.  Shaner  was  repeatedly  complimented  for 
the  thorough  preparation  and  attention  to  detail  by 
which  the  grounds  were  placed  in  proper  condition 
for  the  Interstate  shoot  which  began  yesterday  morn- 
ing. 

The  outlook  for  the  initial  annual  tournament  is 
encouraging  enough  to  venture  the  prophecy  that  the 
Coast  Handicap  under  the  aegis  of  the  Interstate  As- 
sociation, and  immediate  auspices  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Trap  Shooting  Association,  will  be  the  big  and 
growing  yearly  blue  rock  tournament  for  Pacific 
Coast  sportsmen  for  a  series  of  years. 

The  sport  has  had  a  healthy  impetus  on  the  Coast 
for  the  past  two  years  and  the  advent  of  the  Eastern 
experts  in  this  city  and  at  other  points  on  the  Pacific 
Slope  is  of  a  nature  to  be  of  invaluable  benefit  to  our 
shooters.  Not  that  we,  for  one  moment  decry  the 
abilities  or  enthusiasm  of  Coast  sportsmen,  but  it 
stands  as  a  reasonable  argument  that  sportsmen  who 
have  collectively  or  individually  devoted  from  ten  to 
twenty-five  years'  attention  to  trap  shooting;  who 
have  taken  part  in  both  blue  rock  and  live  pigeon 
shoots  all  over  the  United  States,  under  all  sorts  of 
conditions  of  weather  and  shooting  ground  arrange- 
ments— some  of  the  visiting  shooters  were  in  the 
American  team  when  they  made  the  memorable  trip 
through  Great  Britain  several  years  ago — men  who 
have  for  years  been  in  the  practice  of  shooting  an 
average  of  25,000  loads  annually,  wrho  have  made 
guns,  loads,  ammunition  and  in  fact  every  detail  per- 
taining to  the  sport  a  close  and  exhaustive  study 
and  application,  it  is,  we  repeat,  a  reasonable  argu- 
ment to  advance  that  something  can  be  learned  by 
association  with  and  also  by  observation  of  the 
experts'    work. 

The  visitors  are  not  here  on  the  lines  of  the  com- 
petition with  our  shooters  at  the  traps.  Notwith- 
standing this  fact  is  known  to  the  majority  of  our 
shooters  there  is  an  all  round  curiosity  as  to  what 
the  Coast  leaders,  experts  and  amateurs  can  do  in 
shooting    with    the    Easterners. 

On  team  work  we  will  make  the  statement,  posi- 
tively, almost,  that  the  Easterners  are  machine  like 
in  the  skilled  proficiency  of  their  shooting  and  any 
or  all  of  the  best  teams  we  can  put  before  the  bulk- 
heads wrould  be  beaten.  How  much?  is  a  bit  prob- 
lematical, for  the  Coast  can  produce  a  number  of  high 
class  teams.  Individually  our  shooters  can  hold  some, 
if  not  most,  of  the  visitors  down  to  a  very  close  or 
even  favorable  margin,  .but  beyond  that,  drill  and 
experience  would  count  to  a  decidedly  winning  degree. 

The  "office"-  will  be  under  the  personal  charge  of 
Mr.  Elmer  E.  Shaner,  who  wrill  be  assisted  by  a  corps 
of  deputies,  each  having  his  specified  line  of  duties. 
Mr  Shaner  has  the  deserved  reputation  of  being  the 
premier  manager  for  big  tournaments  in  the  United 
States — or  anywhere  else  for  that  matter,  and  this 
fact  promises  much  for  the  smooth  running  of  the 
three  days'  shoot,  a  complete  report  of  which  will 
appear  in  our  next  issue. 


South  Tacoma  Turnament — The  fifth  monthly  tour- 
nament of  the  Southwest  Washington  Gun  Club  As- 
sociation took  place  on  the  3rd  and  4th  of  September 
at  South  Tacoma  on  the  trap  grounds  of  the  South 
Tacoma  Rod  and  Gun  Club.  The  association  includes 
in  its  membership  the  gun  clubs  of  South  Tacoma, 
Chehalis.  Aberdeen,  Centralia,  Montesano,  Castle 
Rock,  Olympia,  Cosmopolis,  Elma,  Westport,  Hoquiam, 
Shelton  and  Gate  City. 

E.  W.  Cooper,  Roy  Rowe,  L.  S.  Dahl,  B.  B.  Lips- 
combe  and  E.  B.  Lanning  comprised  the  South  Tacoma 
Club's  committee  on  arrangements.  A  feature  of  the 
tournament  was  the  special  arrangements  for  spec- 
tators. Awnings  were  provided,  refreshments  served 
at  .the  grounds  and  everything  possible  done  for  the 
comfort  of  those  in  attendance.  The  prizes  in  the 
tourney  included  about  $150  in  money  and  trophies 
valued  at  $200.  The  best  shots  of  the  Puget  Sound 
country  were  in  attendance.  Sunday  was  amateur 
day,  while  Monday's  events  were  open  to  all. 

Eleven  events  were  on  the  card  for  the  first  day. 
Events  X'o.  6  was  a  team  race  at  25  targets,  three 
moneys,  and  was  won  by  South  Tacoma  Team  No.  1. 

Shooting  against  a  team  of  expert  marksmen,  L. 
S.  Dahl.  B.  B.  Lipscomb  and  R.  V.  Rowe  carried  off 
the  Dupont  challenge  cup,  "Infallible,"  making  a  run 
of  69.  This  is  the  second  time  that  this  team  has 
v  en  the  cup,  the  first  time  being  at  Olympia.  when 
they  made  a  total  score  of  67.  The  three  having  won 
the  cup  twice,  will  row,  according  to  the  rules  of  the 
association,  keep  the  medals  that  go  with  the  event. 
In  addition  to  the  cup  and  medals,  the  event  gives 
to  the  winners  the  title  of  being  the  championship 
team  of  Western  Washington.  In  the  eyes  of  the  fol- 
lowers of  the  traps,  this  makes  it  one  of  the  most 
important  events  to  be  contested  for  at  tournaments. 
The  entries  and  scores  were  the  following. 

South    Tacoma   team   Xo.   1 — L.   S.  Dahl,   24;    R.

A    Book    For  Sportsmen. 

The  sixteenth  edition  of  the  "Handy  Book  for

and  the  King1  Powder  Co.,  is  now  ready  for  distribu- 
tion. This  booklet  includes  not  only  the  revised  game 
laws  of  the  several  states  and  territories  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  but  also  a  description  of 
the  goods  manufactured  by  the  companies  named. 
Trap  Shooting  Rules  and  other  information  of  in- 
terest to  sportsmen.  In  addition  to  this  booklet  the 
Peters  Cartridge  Co.  have  published  the  game  laws  of 
the  several  states  in  circular  form  for  convenient  ref- 
erence and  will  be  pleased  to  forward  same  to  any

Salmon    Season    Closed. 

Sunday,  the  last  day  of  the  open  season  for  the 
taking  of  salmon  in  the  waters  of  this  state  until 
October  16,  was  duly  observed  by  a  large  contingent 
of  salt  water  angling  enthusiasts  who  were  out  early 
and  late  in  launches,  yawls,  skiffs  and  a  small  but 
choice  variety  of  nondescript  home-made  mechanical 
craft.  The  total  take  of  the  day  is  summed  up 
by  "Parson"  Jackson  as  between  twenty-five  and 
thirty  fine  conditioned  fish,  most  of  them  of  good 
size.  The  largest  salmon,  a  thirty-six  pounder,  was 
taken  by  Attinger  brothers.  This  catch  ties  the 
record  for  weight,  held  by  Jake  Christianson,  up  to 
Sunday.  While  the  salmon  were  liberal  in  their  at- 
tention to  the  trolling  baits  of  a  number  of  fisher- 
men, singular  to  say,  the  veteran  experts  Al  Wilson, 
J.  Christianson  and  "Parson"  Jackson  were  ignored 
in  to  to  by  the  quinnat  migrants  in  Raccoon  straits — 
another  evidence  of  the  perversity  of  the  fish  tribe, 
a  quality  that  keeps  the  anglers  guessing  all  the  time. 

The  salmon  landed  were  all  hooked  on  the  Tiburon 
side  from  Belvedere  point  to  Bluff  point,  but  one  fish 
wras  observed  to  be  taken  in  mid-channel  and  that 
was  captured  by  Mr.  Bouton,  a  member  of  the  Pacific 
Striped   Bass    Club. 

The  number  of  fish  taken  by  anglers  during  the 
last  three  weeks  is  computed  to  have  been  about  200. 
Now  that  the  possibilities  of  good  sport  are  assured 
in  the  bay  waters,  fishing  for  the  royal  quinnat  sal- 
mond,  it  is  believed  that  the  game  will  have  many 
enthusiastic  followers  during  the  next  open  season 
for  salmon — that  is,  when  the  fish  are  running,  for 
it  is  not  anticipated  by  experienced  observers  that 
there  will  be  many  fish  running  after  October  15. 

A  matter  of  much  complaint  is  the  carlessness  of 
the  power  launches  in  fouling  anglers'  tackle.  A 
case  in  point  is  that  of  the  "hospital"  launch,  which 
craft,  it  is  claimed,  has  deliberately,  on  more  than 
one  occasion,  fouled  lines  and  broken  away  the 
tackle.  There  is  no  reason  for  this  and  if  the  identity 
of  the  persons  responsible  can  be  ascertained  an 
angler  has  redress  for  damages. 


TRADE     NOTES. 


Peters'    Points. 

At  the  tournament  given  by  the  New  London,  Ohio, 
Gun  Club,  August  31st,  Peters  shells  were  very  much 
in  evidence.  They  were  used  by  the  majority  of  the 
shooters,  including  Mr.  D.  D.  Gross,  winner  of  the  first 
average,  Mr.  R.  J.  Smith,  second  average,  Mr.  E.  R. 
Stilson.  third  average. 

At  Lancaster,  Pa.,  September  2nd,  Mr.  Neaf  Apgar 
attended  the  shoot  of  the  Bob  White  Gun  Club,  win- 
ning high  average  with  Peters  Factory  Loaded  Shells. 


A   $450   Winchester    Rifle. 

The  .  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Co.  has  just 
turned  out  for  Mr.  A.  A.  Busch  of  St.  Louis  one  of 
the  handsomest  weapons  ever  seen  in  St.  Louis.  It 
was  made  to  the  wealthy  brewer's  special  order  and 
cost  $450.  The  rifle  is  of  the  1S86  model,  33.  calibre, 
take  down,  with  half  octagon  barrel  and  half  maga- 
zine. The  stock  is  of  special  imported  walnut  and 
most  elegantly  carved.  On  the  sides  of  the  receiver 
the  engraved  background  is  of  grape  leaf  design  and 
on  one  side  a  gold  inlaid  moose  and  cow  stand  forth 
with  true  fidelity  to  detail.  On  the  other  side  is 
shown  a  grizzly  bear  and  a  mountain  goat,  both  of 
gold,  inlaid.  On  the  cap  of  the  pistol  grip  the  well- 
known  brewery  trade  mark  in  solid  gold  is  placed, 
while  the  monogram  A.  A.  B..  in  gold,  is  neatly  but 
prominently  shown.  Delicate  lines  of  gold  and  plati- 
num inlaid  trace  the  entire  barrel's  length  and  are 
also  visible  on  the  sides  of  the  receiver.  The  forearm 
is  elaborately  carved,  and  the  forearm  tip  inlaid  with 
gold  scroll  work.  Mr.  Busch  makes  an  annual  hunting 
trip  in  the  old  country  and  on  previous  journeys  his 
handsome  Winchester  rifles  and  shot  guns  have 
caused  so  much  admiration,  both  for  their  finish  and 
fine  shooting  qualities,  that  many  have  been  left  with 
friends  by  the  generous  St,  Louisan.  This  new 
weapon  is  designed  for  his  personal  use  and  perma- 
nent possession,  and  Mr.  Busch  says  under  no  cir- 
cumstances will  he  ever  part  with  it,  as  he  considers 
it  the  handsomest  rifle  in  the  world.

INDIGESTION    OF    HORSES. 

Indigestion  is  one  of  the  common  dis- 
met  with  in  the  horse.    We  meet 
it   in   two   different   forms,   acute   indi- 
gestion, which  is  the  result  of  sudden 
,..re  or  less  complete  cessation  01 
the    function    of    digestion,    the    result. 
generally  of  the  animal's  getting  loose 
g    inordinately    of    grain;  .  or 
|    is    the   result   of  gross   violation 
of  some  of  the  foregoing   principles. 

is  disease  resembles  in  its  symp- 
toms colic,  the  treatment  being  almost 
exactly  the  same,  and  we  will  consider 
it  under  that  head.  Suffice  it  to  say 
here,  that  prevention  is  much  easier 
than  cure. 

The  other  form  is  what  is  known  as 
chronic  indigestion,  and  is  a  derange- 
ment to  a  greater  or  less  extent  of  the 
function  of  indigestion.  In  other  words, 
the  digestive  process  is  imperfectly 
carried  on.  It  may  be  so  slight  as  to 
be  hardlv  noticeable,  or  it  may  be  so 
severe  as  to  make  the  animal  nearly 
useless.  The  disease  is  caused  by  vio- 
lating more  or  less  continuously  for 
some  time  some  or  all  of  the  forego- 
ing principles.  The  disease  is  very 
common. 

The  symptoms— The  first  symptoms 
noticed  is  general  unthriftiness.  The 
animal  is  not  "doing  well."  In  order 
to  improve  its  appearance,  more  gram 
is  fed.  but  it  does  not  respond.  It  loses 
its  spirit,  does  not  drive  with  old-time 
freeness,  will  not  stand  the  hard  work, 
tire  and  sweats  easily.  The  animal 
generally  has  a  ravenous  appetite,  al- 
though occasionally  it  will  be  dainty, 
but  as  a  general  thing  it  will  eat  any- 
thing within  reach,  frequently  showing 
a  desire  for  dirt,  licks  stone  walls, 
gnaws  the  woodwork  of  the  stall,  and 
eats  the  bedding.  There  are  apt  to 
be  frequent  attacks  of  colic,  and  also 
more  or  less  bloating  after  eating. 
The  hair  becomes  harsh,  unduly  long, 
and  loses  its  luster.  The  skin  also 
becomes  harsh,  loses  its  mellowness, 
and  is  tightly  drawn  to  the  tissues 
underneath:  in  other  words,  the  animal 
is  "hide  bound."  While  all  these  symp- 
toms may  be  present  in  very  bad  cases, 
as  a  general  thing  only  a  portion  of 
them  will  be  noticeable  in  any  single 
individual. 

The  treatment — First  obey  the  proper 
principles  of  feeding;  feed  a  balanced 
ration ;  make  all  changes  gradually  and 
do  not  overfeed.  Medicinally  we  give 
those  drugs  which  will  stimulate  the 
digestive  organs  to  activity.  The  so- 
called  condition  powders  are  intended 
for  this  purpose.  A  very  good  mixture 
is  the  .following:.  Gentian,  %  pound; 
bi-carbonate  of  soda,  y2  pound;  mix 
vomica,  y.  pound;  arsenic,  1  drachm. 
Mix  thoroughly.  Dose,  a  tablespoon 
level  full  in  moistened  grain,  morning 
and  evening.  At  noon  give  the  follow- 
ing mixture:  Sulphate  of  iron,  % 
pound;  saltpeter,  %  pound.  Mixed. 
Dose,  a  tablespoonful  in  moistened 
grain. 

Continue  the  use  of  the  medicine  for 
two  or  three  weeks,  then  withhold  for 
a  week,  and  then  give  again.  Con- 
tinue in  this  manner  until  the  animal 
recovers.  In  some  cases  treatment 
will  need  to  be  continued  for  six 
months  or  even  longer. 

These  mixtures  are  available  to  give 
to  horses  in  the  spring,  a  few  weeks 
before  the  hard  work  commences,  es- 
pecially where  the  animals  have  been 
wintered  upon  a  large  amount  of 
roughage,  as  this  line  of  feeding  is  very 
apt  to  cause  more  or  less  indigestion. 
— George  A.  Walterman. 


The  skins  from  which  wool  is  pulled 
have  an  important  commercial  value 
and  it  is  the  aim  of  pullers,  of  course, 
to  remove  the  wool  from  the  pelts  by 
such  process  as  will  cause  the  least 
impairment  possible  to  the  skins. 
Sheep  skins  were  never  so  largely  used 
as  they  are  today  nor  were  they  ever 
put  to  such  varied  uses.  They  are  util- 
ized for  purposes  which  render  it  neces- 
:uy  that  they  shall  be  handled  so  that 
the  surface  of  the  skin  shall  not  be 
rotted.  At  present  the  wool  is  re- 
moved from  the  skin  by  what  is  called 
the  depilatory  process  which  does  not 
impair  the  quality  of  the  skin,  years 
ago  flic  method  of  sweating  the  skin 
practiced,  which  practically  rotted 
the  wool  out.  The  pelts  were  hung  up 
in  vaults  in  which  the  steaming  pro- 
cress  was  Introduced.  The  outer  sur- 
face of  the  skin,  in  which  the  wool 
fibres  were  imbedded,  was  thus  rotted, 
rendering  the  removal  of  the  wool  quite 
easy.  This  was  succeeded  by  the  lime 
process  the  application  of  a  mixture 
of  lime  and  arsenic.  The  mixture  was 
applied  to  the  outer  surface  of  the  pelt 
with  a  brush.  This  was  detrimental  to 
the  wool  and  has  in  turn  been  super- 
seded by  the  depilatory  process  in 
which  a   sulphide  solution  is  used.

GLANDERS    INCURABLE. 


Glanders  occurs  generally  over  the 
United  States.  It  became  very  preva- 
lent during  the  civil  war,  and  is  most 
common  among  ranch  horses  to-day  in 
the  West.  It  occurs  in  both  an  acute 
and  chronic  form,  the  former  ending 
with  death  in  a  few  weeks,  the  latter 
covering  months  and  even  years. 

Animals  may  appear  healthy  yet  be 
suffering  from  glanders.  In  this  dis- 
ease the  lungs  are  the  principal  seat 
of  the  malady,  and  they  may  be  af- 
fected long  before  any  outward  sign 
of  the  disease.  Later  the  glands  of 
the  jaw  enlarge  and  the  membrane  of 
the  nostrils  becomes  affected  and  a 
discharge  is  commonly  thrown  off.  All 
cases  of  chronic  discharge  are  suspi- 
cious. Small  ulcers  or  boils  will  ap- 
pear under  or  on  the  skin  also.  This 
form  is  known  as  farcy.  These  ulcers 
often  develop  into  bad  sores  on  the 
body  and  hind  limbs. 

The  disease  is  spread  by  nasal  secre- 
tions on  the  woodwork  of  the  stables, 
on  posts,  water  troughs,  etc.  When  on 
wood  will  dry  and  as  dust  be  taken 
into  the  lungs  and  the  disease  gener- 
ated. Humans  become  inoculated 
through  wounds  on  hands  generally. 
The  germs  live  three  to  four  months. 

This  disease  is  incurable  and  should 
not  be  treated.  It  is  commonly  subject 
to  state  supervision,  and  all  cases  are 
promptly  killed,  serviceable  horses  be- 
ing made  good  by  financial  recompense 
from  the  state.  All  suspicious  cases 
should  be  reported  to  the  state  veter- 
inarian.— Dr.  Paul  Fisher,  Ohio  State 
Veterinarian.

Kerry  cattle  take  their  name  from 
Kerry  county,  in  Munster,  Ireland. 
They  are  known  as  the  "poor  man's 
breed."  They  fatten  easily,  and  the 
beef  is  of  fine  quality.  The  cows  are 
handsome,  small  and  very  gentle. 
They  always  become  pets,  where  they 
are  properly  used.  They  are  large 
milkers,  when  compared  with  the 
amount  of  food  they  use.  The  cows 
average  only  about  400  pounds  in 
weight.

moved  from  place  to  place.  They  do 
better  when  they  remain  in  one  place

CERTIFIED    MILK. 


airymen  have  not  rushed  into  the 
(ified  milk  business  to  the  extent 
iaicted  a  few  years  ago.  City  health 
](rds  do  not  care  to  place  their  seal 
>fapproval  upon  milk  that  does  not 
•tie  up  to  the  required  standard  and 
'oners  are  slow  to  provide  the  ex- 
jisive  equipment  necessary  to  pro- 
|je  pure  milk. 

jlesides  the  first  cost  the  subsequent 
JJ.ntion  also  costs  a  great  deal  of 
jje  and  money.  Such  scrupulous 
•2i  and  attention  to  all  the  many  de- 
Si,  is  required  that  the  production  of 
Jjeally  high  grade  'article  is  placed 
rfond  the  possibility  of  very  keen 
•xipetition.  Dairymen  to  receive  the 
jtlnp  of  approval  vouched  for  by  the 
ijjificate  must  prove  to  the  satisfac- 
U  of  the  health  department  their 
fiity  to  produce  milk  wholly  free 
rn  germs,  and  containing  the  least 
xsible  bacteria  content.  It  must 
■■t  all  the  state  law  requirements 
Uto  butter  fat  and  other  solids,  and 
«>e  so  pure  as  to  keep  for  days  when 
li  at  a  reasonable  temperature  with- 
H  showing  the  slightest  acid  indica- 
t.  To  assure  this  it  requires  first 
t-oughly  healthy  cows  and  a  sani- 
■!'  stable  in  which  to  keep  them;  sec- 
I,  the  best  possible  cleanly  care; 
Id,  pure  sweet,  clean  feed  and  water 
ll'ther  with  such  other  conditions 
ii   facilities  necessary  to  deliver  the 

■  luct  to  the  consumer  in  the  form 
i|  n  absolutely  pure  product. 

j  meet  all  these  requirements  is 
Ijnd  the  technical  knowledge  as  well 
Ehe  financial  ability  of  the  average 
U  yman. 

the  care  of  the  cows  under  such 
iciitions  requires  constant  vigilance 
M.  thousand  details.  The  cows  must 
T  groomed  daily  and  their  udders 
iUd  carefully  with  a  damp  cloth  be- 
ll milking.  The  milkers  must  ster- 
I    their     hands'      and     wear     clean 

■  ties,  preference  being  given  to 
lie  duck  suits  while  milking.  As 
li  cow  is  milked  the  milk  must  be 
Wiediately  carried  to  a  cement  dairy 
I:  off  from  the  stable  by  two  spring 
Is.  In  some  dairies  the  milk  is 
B-ed     into     a     leader     that     passes 

I  ugh  the  wall.  In  this  way  the 
j:ers  do  not  enter  the  dairy  proper. 
.1  milk  passes  from  the  interior 
iMptacle  into  the  dairy  over  a  cooler 
(re  the  temperature  is  reduced  to 
Ait  45  degrees  and  at  once  run  into 
m  lized    bottles    and    secured    by    a

a  the  bottles  are  kept  in  refriger- 
Is  and  during  delivery,  if  weather 
witions    require    it,    the    bottles    are 

■  .ed  in  ice.  Milk  prepared  in  this 
I  will  keep  sweet  from  twenty-four 
Mirty-eight  hours  longer  than  ordi-

:o  ten  thousand  dollars  in  a  stable 
dairy  of  this   kind  unless   he  has 

assurance  of  getting  a  good  price 
he  product.  But  there  are  cus- 
rs  in  every  city  who  are  willing 
iy  an  extra  price  for  a  superior 
ie.  Quality  is  the  valuable  fea- 
which  is  by  no  means  confined  to

is  of  much  more  importance,

You  have  not  asked  for  any  testimonial  from  me  but  I  feel  that  It  Is  only  fair  to  tell  you  what 
your  great  remedy  has  done  for  me.  My  son  had  and  still  has  a  very  floe  mare  by  Baron  Wilkes  and 
herdamwasHattleldebyGllly.  He  bought  heruobroken  and  started  to  lead  her  home,  and  had 
notgone  half  a  mile  w  ien  she  went  lame.  She  had  two  spavins;  he  called  a  veterinary  '  She  got 
better  of  her  lameness  and  I  went  to  breaking  her  to  drive,  and  she  went  lame  on  the  other  side  We 
stoppedandhad  her  flred  and  blistered  In  both  spavins.  Rested  her  six  months  and  commenced  to 
drlveher  again  and  she  went  lame.  I  had  tint  leg  fired  again  and  gave  her  the  usual  rest,  and  she 
went  lame  as  soon  as  we  began  to  ura  her  1  saw  your  advertisement  and  wrote  for  a  bottle  and  used 
itasthedlrectlonssaid.  We  commenoed  to  drive  her  and  she  stood  the  test.  We  trained  her; 
worked  hsr  twioe  a  week,  mile  and  repeat,  and  we  are  still  driving  her.  and  she  goes  as  sound  ai 
any  horse  can     If  any  one  will  use  It  aocordlng  to  directions  it  will  cure,  and  no  mistake. '

3an  Francisco,   Saturday,   September  23,  1905. 

i;  THIS  IS  A  GREAT  YEAR  for  three-year-old  trot- 
||:ers  and  the  present  outlook  is  that  the  record  of 
B*'08%,  held  by  Chimes'  daughter  Fantasy  since  she 
',t;rotted  in  that  time  twelve  years  ago,  will  be  lowered 
jfor  the  first  time.     The  first  three-year-old  to  trot  in 

standard  time  was  Lady  Stout,  a  daughter  of  Mam- 
prino  Patchen.     She  was  driven  a  mile  by  Dr.  Herr 

it  Lexington,  October  1st,  1874,-  in  2:29.     Three  years 

ater  Elaine,  daughter  of  Messenger  Duroc  and  Green 
.Mountain  Maid,  lowered  this  record  to  2:28,  and  two 
(jvears  after  that  Steinway  trotted  to  a  race  record  of 
112:25%    and   was   given   the   title   of   champion   trotter 

5f  his  age.  He  held  the  title  but  a  few  months,  as 
'.jlewett  by  Allie  West  took  a  record  "of  2:23  in  Octo- 
|)ber  the  same  year  and  wore  the  crown  until  1SS1, 
t.tvhen  the  grey  gelding  Phil  Thompson  by  Red  Wilkes 
|! trotted  a  mile  in  2:21  at  Chicago.  Hinda  Rose,  daugh- 
ter of  Electioneer  and  Beautiful  Bells,  trotted  in  2:20 

.it  Hartford,   October   3d,   1SS3,  and  a  week  later  set 

the    three-year-old   mark  a   half   second   faster   by   a 

mile  in  2:19%  at  Lexington.  Hinda  Rose  was  the 
jichampion  three-year-old  for  two  years,  then  Patron 
■by  Pancoast  equalled  her  time  in  1SS5.  Again  two 
I years  elapsed  before  a  three-year-old  trotted  as  fast 
I  and  then  the  crown  came  to  California  and  was  worn 

by  Sable  Wilkes,  who  made  his  mile  in  2TTS "October 
■  9th,  1887,  at  Bay  District  track.  Another  two  years 
l elapsed,  but  in  18S9  this  record  was.  broken  seven 
i  times.    Axteil  was  the  first  to  do  the  trick  by  trotting  a 

-mile  in  2:15%  at  Minneapolis,  July  2d,  which  mark 
llhe  reduced  to  2:14  flat  at  Chicago,  August  23d.     The 

■Palo  Alto  mare  Sunol  by  Electioneer  knocked  a  quar- 
I  ter  of  a  second  off  this  record  at  Fresno  October  4th, 
l.but  again  the  crown  went  back  to  Axteil  when  the 

son  of  William  L.  trotted  his  memorable  mile  iu 
I  2:12  at  Terre  Haute,  October  11th,  and  was  sold  for 

}$105,000  soon  after.  At  San  Francisco  November  9th 
I  however,  Sunol  had  another  try  at  the  record  an  1 
1  again  was  she  the  champion  with  a  mile  in  2:10%  to 

her  credit.  Three  days  later  Arion,  who  had  trotted 
la  mile  in  2:10%  as  a  two-year-old,  took  a  flyer  at  the 

three-year-old  record  and  equalled  Sunol's  time.  The 
I j year  ended  with  the  championship  at  Palo  Alto  won 

by  two  of  the  farm's  products.  Then  Arion  was 
f;3old  to  J.  Malcolm  Forbes  of  Boston  for  $125,000,  the 
I  highest  price  ever  paid  for  a  trotting  horse.  All 
j  ;the   above    records    were   made    to    the   old   fashioned 

Mgh  wheel  sulky.  In  1S92  the  pneumatic  tired  bike 
kinade  its  appearance  and  on  October  17th,  1S93;  Fan- 
tasy started  in  a  field  of  ten  three-year-olds  for  a 
1(5000  purse  at  Nashville,  Tenn.  She  won  the  first 
f  neat    in    2: 16%,    then    distance   was    waived    and    she 

trotted  the  second  mile  in  2.08%,  which  is  yet  the 
I  fastest  mile  ever  trotted  by  a  three-year-old. 


liberal  patronage  of  all  harness  horse  owners.  It  is 
the  intention  of  the  Los  Angeles  Association  to  give 
an  early  spring  meeting  not  later  than  the  first  week 
in  June  next,  thereby  giving  horsemen  intending  to 
race  their  horses  East  an  opportunity  to  try  them 
put  and  win  a  few  dollars  before  starting.  With  the 
last  and  the  first  meetings  of  each  year  held  at  Los 
Angeles  that  track  should  be  a  great  place  to  winter 
horses,  as  the  climate  there  has  less  rainy  days  dur- 
ing the  winter  months  than  any  other  place  in  Cali- 
fornia. San  Bernardino  is  only  fifty  miles  east  of 
Los  Angeles  and  Santa  Ana  but  thirty  miles  south, 
so  the  shipments  will  be  short  and  inexpensive.  If 
you  desire  to  race  any  more  this  year  it  would  be 
advisable  to  ship  to  Southern  California  and  race  at 
these  three  meetings,  as  the  purses  there  are  worth 
going  for.  The  Hanford  and  Tulare  meetings  can 
be  taken  in  on  the  way  down. 


THE  SOUTHERN  CIRCUIT,  comprising  the  tracks 
it  San  Bernardino,  Santa  Ana  and  Los  Angeles,  an- 
nounces its  program  in  our  advertising  pages  this 
week  and  a  perusal  of  the  announcement  will  show 
that  the  purses  are  most  liberal.  The  San  Bernardino 
neeting  opens  Thursday,  November  9th,  and  con- 
:inues  three  days,  the  Santa  Ana  meeting  followin  y 
November  15th  and  continuing  the  same  number  of 
lays.  The  programs  at  these  two  places  are  almost 
dentical  for  class  horses.  The  purses  are  $600  eacli 
for  2:12,  2:30,  2:20  and  2:09  pacers,  and  for  2:14, 
3:20  and  2:09  trotters.  At  Los  Angeles  the  meeting 
■vill  open  Tuesday,  November  21st,  and  last  through 
:he  week.  $1000  purses  are  the  rule  here.  For  the 
irotters  are  the  2:11,  2:17,  2:30.  2:14,  2:24  and  2:00 
:Iasses,  while  the  pacers  are  given  .the  2:09,  2:20. 
2:12,  2:27  and  free-for-all  classes.  There  will  be  sev- 
eral cups  offered  for  matinee  races  at  all  these  meet- 
ings.    The   Southern    California    Circuit   deserves   the 


THE  PICTURE  OF  PETIGRU  2:10%,  which  ap- 
pears on  our  front  page  this  week,  is  from  a  photo- 
graph taken  at  San  Jose  last  spring.  After  making  a 
season  in  the  stud  at  San  Jose  and  Los  Angeles  this 
year,  Petigru  was  put  in  training  by  his  owner,  W. 
G.  Durfee.  and  soon  showed  that  he  was  a  faster  and 
better  gaited  trotter  than  ever  before  in  his  life. 
Conservative  horsemen  who  saw  him  work  the  last 
half  of  a  2:15  mile  in  1:04%  with  the  last  eighth  in 
14:j  seconds,  believed  he  would  lower  his  record  three 
or  four  seconds  this  year,  but  he  got  cast  in  a  stall 
at  Santa  Rosa  and  wrenched  one  of  his  hind  legs, 
so  that  it  swelled  to  twice  its  natural  size.  This  of 
course  prevented  his  starting  at  Sacramento,  where 
he  was  entered,  but  the  swelling  has  now  gone  down 
and  it  is  not  thought  any  permanent  injury  will  re- 
sult. Mr.  Durfee  deserves  more  credit  for  making 
a  good  gaited  and  level  headed  trotter  out  of  this 
.horse  than  any  he  ever  handled.  When  he  took  him 
in  a  trade  in  the  East  in  1901,  Petigru  was  a  spoiled 
horse,  and  had  been  given  up.  by  several  trainers, 
including  Ed  Geers.  He  would  not  stick  to  his  gait 
but  bolt  and  run,  the  result  of  bad  early  training. 
Durfee  has  made  a  model  trotter  out  of  him  and 
Petigru  was  as  steady  as  a  clock-  in  his  work  this 
year.  It  need  not  surprise  anyone  if  Petigru  takes 
a  record  of  2:06  or  better  next  season.  He  is  by 
Kingward,  son  of  Onward,  and  is  out  of  that  great 
brood  mare  Lemonade  2:27%,  the  dam  of  three  trot- 
ters with  records  better  than  2:12. 


THE  MINNESi  >TA  STATE  LAIR  is  one  worth  while 
This  year  it  broke  all  its  previous  records  for  attend- 
ance, there  being  in  round  numbers  64tf00  admissions 
recorded  on  Monday,  48,000  on  Tuesday,  47,000 
on  Wednesday,  35,000  on  Thursday  a  rainy  day. 
58,000  Friday  and  40,000  Saturday,  or  a  total  of  290,- 
000.  The  cash  surplus  at  the  end  of  the  week  was 
in  excess  of  $50,000.  A  big  harness  racing  program 
was  given,  two  $5000  purses  being  jning  up.  besides 
two  $2500  purses  and  ten  or  twelve  $1000  purses. 
There  were  big  fields  and  fine  racing,  although  no 
betting  is  allowed  on  the  grounds.  The  biggest  at- 
tendance of  the  week,.  64,000  on  Monday,  the  opening 
day.  was  brought  by  the  attempt  of  Dan  Patch  to 
lower  his  record  of  1:56.  Had  he  accomplished  the 
feat  he  would  have  been  awarded  $10,000.  The  track 
was  heavy  and  slow  on  account  of  rain,  but  Dan 
reeled  off  a  mile  in  1:59%.  a  wonderful  performance. 
The  live  stock  and  other  exhibits  at  the  fair  were 
large  and  complete  in  every  way. 


THE  $7000  BREEDERS'  FUTURITY  for  foals  of 
this  year  has  a  very  healthy  look.  The  stakes  closed 
on  the  15th  of  last  October  with  3SS  mares  bred  that 
year  nominated  at  $2,  which  put  §776  into  the  stake 
for  a  starter.  On  February  1st  this  year  second 
payment  of  $5  each  was  made  on  2S6  of  these  mares, 
which  placed  $1430  more  to  the  credit  of  the  stake, 
and  the  bank  account  read  $2206.  Third  payments  of 
$5  each  were  also  due  and  payable  on  the  first  of 
this  month.  Payments  were  made  on  224  foals,  which 
puts  $1120  more  to  the  account,  so  that  the  amount 
now  in  the  bank  to  the  credit  of  Pacific  Breeders" 
Futurity  No.  5  is  $3326,  and  the  foals  entered  are  only 
just  weaned.  There  will  be  a  $10  payment  February 
1st  on  yearlings,  and  $10  each  year  thereafter,  and 
if  the  same  proportion  of  payments  are  made  as 
have  been  made  in  previous  stakes,  the  stake  will 
again,  as  it  did  this. year,  exceed  the  amount  guar- 
anteed. The  popularity  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  does 
not  diminish,  and  bids  fair  to  increase  in  popularity 
until  the  guaranteed  value  can  be  placed  at  $10,000 
or  more.  It  has  done  more  to  keep  up  the  interest 
in  horse  breeding  on  this  Coast  than  any  other  one 
thing. 


GOOD  HARNESS  RACING  has  been  the  rule  at  all 
the  meetings  in  California  this  year.  Since  the  Pacific 
Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  took  the 
initiative  and  prohibited  bookmaking  at  its  meetings, 
other  associations  have  adopted  the  same  rule  and 
the  tone  of  racing  has  been  greatly  improved.  At 
Los  Angeles.  Fresno  and  Santa  Rosa  this  year  auctions 
and  mutuals  were  the  only  system  of  betting  per- 
mitted. At  the  State  Fair  there  was  a  syndicate 
book,  but  it  was  very  gingerly  pa  lionized  by  the 
harness  horsemen. 


FIVE  DAYS  RACING  at  the  Tulare  Fair  this  year 
offers  a  fine  opportunity  to  those  who  intend  racing 
on  the  Southern  California  Fall  Circuit  to  "stop  off 
at  Tulare"  and  win  a  few  dollars.  There  are  two 
$500  purses,  live  $400  purses,  and  several  of  less 
amounts  for  two  and  three-year-olds.  The  Tulare 
track  is  one  of  the  fastest  in  the  State,  there  is  al- 
ways a  good  attendance  and  the  management  is  very 
attentive  and  obliging  to  visiting  horsemen.  The  full 
program  of  the  purses  offered  will  be  found  in  our 
advertising  columns. 


AN  INDUSTRIAL  EXPOSITION  of  the  resources 
of  the  Pacific  Slope  is  what  the  annual  California 
State  Fair  should  be.  The  one  just  closed  was  a  big 
improvement  over  many  of  its  predecessors  in  many 
ways,  but  there  is  yet  much  room  for  improvement. 
The  pavilion  should  be  removed  fromY  the  city  to  the 
fair  grounds  and  the  whole  show  given  in  one  enclos- 
ure. Ai\  attendance  of  at  least  ten 'thousand  every 
day  can  be  secured  under  proper  management. 


SANTA  MARIA  will  hold  a  race  meeting  November 
6th  to  11th.  and  entries  close  October  23d.  The  purses 
range  from  $75  to  $150  and  are  for  trotters,  pacers 
and  runners.  Send  to  William  Mead,  secretary,  Santa 
Maria,   for  entry  blanks.

WON   A  $5000   RACE. 

There  was  nothing  the  matter  with  the  bay  gelding 
Bolivar,  last  week  when  he  started  in  the  $5000  stake 
at  Milwaukee.  Bolivar  is  the  horse  that  Monroe  Salis- 
bury bought  at  Eureka  last  winter  for  James  Butler 
of  New  Yrork.  He  had  won  a  race  in  2:21  at  the 
Eureka  Fair  of  last  year  and  looked  like  a  prospect. 
Mr.  Salisbury  heard  about  him,  took  a  sea  trip  and 
bought  him  for  something  like  $2000.  Bolivar  is  one 
of  the  slickest  going  pacers  that  ever  left  the  State 
and  he  has  been  the  principal  bread  winner  for  the 
Butler  stable  this  year.  While  the  .other  horses  were 
starting  on  the  Grand  Circuit  during  the  last  part  of 
August.  Mr.  Butler  sent  Bolivar  and  Danube  out  West 
where  there  were  several  big  stokes  offered  at  Ham- 
line.  Milwaukee  and  other  places  '-'Danube  is  the 
trotter  by  Direcho  that  Captain  Newton  of  Los  An- 
geles raised.  Danube  got  second  money  in  the  $5000 
trot  at  Hamline  and  won  first   mo  in  a    $2500  race 

the  same  week.  Bolivar  won  a  heat  in  2:06%  in  the 
2:13  pacing  purse  of  $5000  and  was  beaten  the  other 
heats  by  that  "phenom."  Echo  Jn.-  but  was  a  good 
second    in   the   third   and   fourth   heats. 

Gil  Curry  took  the  two  horses  to  Milwaukee  last 
week.  Bolivar  was  entered  in  the  2:13  pace  on  the 
13th  of  the  month  and  drew  13th  and  last  position. 
Curry  thought  the  thirteen  hoodoo  had  struck  him 
sure,  especially  as  Ed  Patch,  a  son  of  Dan  Patch,  was 
in  the  race.  Bolivar  was  away  back  in  the  second 
tier  when  they  got  the  word  for  the  first  heat,  and 
although  Curry  did  not  try  very  hard  he  finished  sec- 
ond in  2  0  - ' , .  and  then  went  out  and  won  the  next 
three  in  2:07%,  2:0$%  and  2.11.  It  was  a  great  day 
for  Bolivar  and  Curry  and  trey  got  an  ovation'.  Bolivar 
is  by  Wayland  W.  2:12%  that  took  bis  renor*1  #»i*«-»n 
years  ago  at  San  Jose,  when  he  beat  Altao,  Shylock, 
Iago,  Lucy  p.,  and  Vina  B  :lle  In  straight  beats,  the 
time  being  2:12%,  2:14%  and  2:14.  a  crackine  good

...  ding  to   the   veterinary   surgeons   who  held   an 
■      on    the    body   of   Sadie    Mac.   the    mare    died 
from    'degenerative  dilation  of  the  heart." 

The    Alameda    race    track    is    getting   to    be    quite    a 

Sunday    resort    for    road    drivers,    and    not   a    Sunday 

but    one    or    two    match    races    are  trotted    or 

paci   I.     Considerable  money  changes  hands  at  times. 

The  roan  gelding  Leonardo,  that  is  trotting  so  fast 

i     Grand    Circuit,   is   by  Bellini   S194,   dam   Lena 

Holly    2:18%    by  Director   2:17,    second   darn   Steinola

There  is  no  betting  at  the  Minnesota  State  Fair- 
but  they  give  two  $5  000  purses,  one  for  trotters,  the 
other  for  pacers,  and  they  offered  the  owner  of  Dan 
Patch  $10,000  if  his  champion  pacer  would  lower  his 
record  of  1:56.  There  were  64,000  people  paid  to  get 
into  the  gate  the  day  Dan  Patch  made  the  effort. 
The  mile  was  in  1:59%,  the  most  remarkable  mile 
ever  paced  by  this  great  horse,  as  the  track  was  not 
in  the  very  best  of  shape  and  it  was  only  his  first 
start   this  season. 

It  is  announced  that  Mr.  J.  B.  Haggin  will  sell  all 
his  trotting  bred  horses  in  Kentucky.  Mr.  Haggin 
has  about  two  hundred  head  of  well  bred  animals, 
but  has  not  trained  or  raced  any  for  years.  On 
Rancho  del  Paso,  near  Sacramento,  he  also  breeds 
quite  a  number  of  trotters,  and  one  or  two  sales  are 
held  annually  at  the  ranch,  the  principal  purchasers 
being  liverymen  and  others  who  want  roadsters. 


Alta  Vela  2.11%  by  Electioneer  is  for  sale.  Thisi 
stallion  will  pay  for  himself  in  any  good  horse  breed- 
ing community  in  three  months  next  spring.  He  is1 
out  of  a  great  brood  mare  and  his  grandam  is  also 
a  great  brood  mare.  He  is  one  of  the  most  perfectly 
gaited  trotters  living  and  has  never  had  a  fair  chance 
in  the  stud      Apply  at  this  office  for  price  and  terms, 


A  yearling  by  Greco  paced  a  half  in  1:36  at  the 
Ferndale  fair  last  week  This  is  the  first  of  Greco's 
get  to  start.  Greco  is  by  McKinney,  dam  Aileen  2:26 
by  Anteeo.  second  dam  Lou  Milton  the  dam  of  the 
world's    champion    trotter. 


The  first  annual  sale  from  the  celebrated  Hum- 
boldt herd  of  Shorthorns  owned  by  B.  F.  Rush  and 
William  Pierce  of  Suisun,  will  be  held  at  that  place 
October  19th.  Elegant  catalogues  have  been  issued 
and  can  be  had  by  writing  to  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co, 
live  stock  auctioneers,  1732  Market  street,  San  Fran- 
cisco.   Cal. 


A  hot  race  was  trotted;  at  the  Alameda  track  last 
Sunday  between  the  mare  Twilight  by  Noonday  and 
a  big  gelding  named  Frank  by  Lvnmont.  The  gelding 
wen  in  straight  heats,  the  best  time  being  2:22.  In 
the  second  beat  Twil'ght  was  only  beaten  bv  a  neck 
and  the  finish  brought  forth  a  cheer  from  the  crowd 
that  wMked  the  echoes  The  stakes  were  $500  a  side 
and  at   least    .^ir,00   changed  hands  on   the  result. 


W.  H.  Raymond,  the  well  known  horse  breeder  of 
Missoula.  Montana,  died  on  the  18th  instant,  aged  60 
years.  Mr.  Raymond  bred  the  thoroughbred  horse 
Spokane,  winner  of  the  Chicago  Derby  in   1S89. 


Clarence  Mackaye  has  retired  from  the  running  turf 
for  good  it  is  said.  He  says  he  is  far  too  busy  to  de- 
vote any  time  to  racing  as  the  sport  as  now  con- 
ducted takes  about  all  a  person's  time  who  owns  and 
races  a  string  of  horses. 


George  G's  new  record  of  2:05%,  made  at  Syracuse, 
shows  the  Homeward  gelding  has  all  his  speed.  Per- 
haps he  will  be  able  to  trot  two  or  three  heats  in  that 
time  later  on. 


Audubon  Boy's  fractional  time  in  his  mile  in  2:00% 
at  Syracuse  last  week  was  :31,  1:00%.  '.30,  2:00%. 
The  last  half  was  in'just  one  minute. 


.I;u-k  McKerron  2:27%  as  a  two-year-old  over  a  half 
mile  track  is  one  of  the  youngsters  sired  by  John  A. 
McKerron  2:04%  that  is  proving  the  fact  that  the 
Nutwood  Wilkes  blood  breeds  on. 


The  Eastern  paners  all  agree  that  laving  up  heats 
is  indulged  in  .iust  about  as  often  on  the  big  tracks 
of  the  Grand  Circuit  as  on  the  half  m'le  rings.  "So 
very  much  depends  upon  the  style  in  which  it's  done." 


Bonnie  Russell  2:10%  has  been  retired  for  the 
season  and  will  be  treated  bv  a  New  York  veterinary 
for  ;tn  affection  of  one  of  the  horse's  ankles. 


T.  F.  Ad  kins,  the  Rochester  man  who  owns  Lison- 
jero  2:08%,  has  leased  from  New  England  parties 
the  h;iv  mare  Princess  Lesa  2:19%,  an  own  sister  to 
Lisonjero,  and  will  race  her  in  his  stable  the  balance 
Of  the  season.  Princess  Lesa  is  thought  to  be  a  jfoocl 
_■■  in  j  rospect. 


Alxnit  (he  three  fastest  performers  racing  this  sea- 
son bv  one  sire  are  Locanda  2:03%.  Allerson  2:05% 
and  Charley  Hayt  2.06%.  all  sons  of  Allerton  2:09%, 
himself  once  the  champion  trotting  stallion  All  three 
Of  these  horses  are  in  grand  form  and  apparently 
sun     in   reduce   their  records  before  the   season   ends. 


Albuta  won  a  heat  and  took  second  money  in  the 
$5000  stake  for  2:18  class  pacers  at  Columbus. 


Mr.  J.  D.  Springer  has  removed  his  residence  from 
Pleasanton  to  Los  Angeles,  and  has  taken  his  string 
of  horses  with  him.  Among  the  horses  are  Billy  Red 
2.10.  Miss  Idaho  2:09%,  Argyle,  Sonoma  Girl  and  sev- 
eral others.  Mr.  Springer  has  made  a  host  of  friends! 
in  Pleasanton  who  will  regret  that  he  and  his  estim- 
able family  are  not  longer  to  be  residents  of  that  town 


Bonalet  has  redeemed  herself.  She  is  the  three- 
year-old  pacer  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05%.  out  of  Roblet 
2:12  by  Robin,  second  dam  Eveline  by  Nutwood.  She 
was  bred  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden  of  Santa  Rosa,  who 
sent  her  and  the  trotting  three-year-old  Bonnie  Mc 
by  Bonnie  Direct  out  of  Myrtle  2:13%  to  Ed  Benyon 
to  .train  for  the  big  stakes  they  are  entered  in  over 
East.  Benyon  started  both  fillies  at  Hartford  in  the 
divisions  of  the  Hartford  Futurity  to  which  they  were 
eligible  and  both  were  distanced  the  first  heats  of 
the'r  races.  On  Tuesday  of  this  week  Bonalet  started 
in  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  Futurity  for  three-year- 
olds  pacers  at  Columbus  The  only  other  starter  was 
Miss  Adbell,  that  won  the  Hartford  race,  and  Bonalet 
trimmed  her  nicely.  The  heats  were  in  2: 16%  and 
2: 11%,  which  shows  Bonalet  is  the  high  class  filly 
she  was  supposed  to  be  when  she  left  California. 


In  reply  to  the  talk  about  a  race  between  Audubon 
Boy  and  Dan  Patch,  Mr.  Savage,  owner  of  the  last 
named  horse,  says  that  when  Audobon  Boy  shows  he 
is  Dan's  class  he  is  ready  to  race  for  $50,000.  Make  it 
$50,001,  as  we  want  to  get  in  with  you  on  the  bet. 


Stiletto  by  Steinway  out  of  Nola  by  Nutwood,  whosc- 
record  is  now  2:12%,  reduced  the  record  of  the  Dover, 
Massachusetts,  half  mile  track,  two  weeks  ago,  by 
pa<    tig  a   mile  in,  2:12%.

California  State  Fair 

Gazelle  2:11  by  Gossiper  is  the  most  distinguished 
brood  mare  of  the  year.  Her  son.  Zolock  by  Mc- 
Kinney, has  reduced  his  pacing  record  to  2:05%, 
and  her  daughter,  Zephyr  by  Zombro,  has  reduced  her 
trotting  record  to  2:07*,  and  trotted  three  heats  all  in 
2:09  or  better  in  a  race. 


Mendolita  by  Mendocino,  dam  Edith  by  George 
Wilkes,  recently  won  her  maiden  race  over  East, 
taking  a  record  of  2:18%  in  the  third  heat.  She  is 
an  own  sister  to  Idolita  2:00%. 


Lady    Mowry,    (he   bay    mare    by    McKinney   2:11%, 
-him    by   Nutwood   Wilkes,   owned    by  Mr.  J.   C.   Mowry 
Of    Alameda    county,    won    third    money    in    the    $5000 
st;ike   won    by    Advancer    at    Milwaukee    last 
week.     Lady  Mowry  was  second  in  2:11%,  the  fastest

Sadie  Mac  2:06%   was  insured  for  $15,500. 


Ben  Chaboya  came  near  winning  a  race  with  Rey 
del  Diablo  at  Nassua,  New  Hampshire,  September  6. 
He  had  won  the  third  and  fourth  heats  in  2:16%  and 
2:17%,  came  second  the  fifth  heat,  and  was  in  the 
lead  in  the  stretch  in  the  sixth,  when  he  was  fouled 
by  another  horse  and  Chaboya  was  thrown  out  of 
the  sulky.  Rey  del  Diablo  got  second  money  but  he 
had  been  heavily  played  to  win.

Dan  Patch  paced  in  2:00%  at  the  Indianapolis  track 
on  Wednesday  of  last  w'eek.  This  lowers  the  track 
record  three-quarters  of  a  second. 


Norman  B.,  by  Phallas,  is  quite  a  trotter.  He  won 
the  2:09  class  trot  at  Columbus  on  Tuesday  of  this 
week  in  2:06%,  2.07%  and  2:08%,  beating  Mazetto. 
Angiola.  Direct  View  and  others. 


The  Denver  Field  and  Farm  tells  the  following 
story:  Two  years  ago  C.  W.  Bogart  of  Colorado 
Springs  bought  Gold  Dust  Maid  for  $2,000  on  credit 
He  stinted  himself  for  her  care  and  slept  in  her 
stable  winter  and  summer  from  that  day  until  two 
weeks  ago,  when  she  came  under  the  wire  at  Cleve- 
land a  50  to  1  shot  for  place,  winning  him  $5,000: 
He  sold  her  on  the  spot  to  Johnson  of  Memphis  for 
another  $5,000  and  wept  like  a  child  before"  10,000 
people  in  the  grand  stand  as  she  was  led  away.  Then 
he  came  home  and  paid  every  cent  of  the  indebted- 
ness he  had  incurred  the  last  twenty-four  month; 
with  interest. 


Dr.  William  Dodge,  president  of  the  Los  Angeles  j 
Driving  Club,  was  a  caller  at  the  office  of  the  Breeder!! 
and  Sportsman  this  w^eek.  He  says  that  the  directors,! 
of  the  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association  expects'| 
a  large  entry  list  to  its  meeting  to  be  held  in  Novem- 
ber. Quite  a  number  of  Eastern  trainers  will  prob-i 
ably  arrive  with  their  strings  about  the  first  of  next  J 
month  toNremain  all  winter  and  will  take  part  in  the 
races.  There  are  at  least  seventy-five  trotters  andl 
pacers  now  in  training  at  the  Los  Angeles  track  thatj| 
are  being  put  in  shape  for  this  meeting. 


It  is  reported  that  Tiverton  2:04%  will  race  no 
more  this  year.  This  is  indeed  unfortunate  as  Mr, 
Gwathmey's  gelding  was  almost  certain  to  have 
knocked  about  two  seconds  from  his  present  record 
had   he   remained  in   condition.

They    say    Zephyr    2:07%    by     Zombro     2:11 
Gazelle    2:11%    (dam    of   Zolock   2:05%)    by    Gossipei 
2:14%,   will   be   consigned  to   the  Old   Glory  sale  this 
winter.     She   ought   to   be  one   of  the  greatest   broi 
mares   living.      She   has   one   foal,   a   two-year-old 
Beauseant  2:06%,  that  is  very  promising. 


Daedalion  2:10  will  probably  make  a  season  at 
Jose  after  the   first   of  the   new  year.     He  will  be 
sire  of  early  and  extreme  speed. 


Danube's  record  is  now  2:12%,  made 
heat   of  the   2.35   trot   at   Hamline.

And  now  the  drivers  on  the  Grand  Circuit  are  ob- 
jecting to  the  new  starter,  Mr.  Newton.  When  the 
starter  that  pleases  everybody  appears,  the  trump  of 
Gabriel's  horn  will  be  heard  right  after  the  order  is 
given  to  score  by  the  pole  horse. 


Bon  Voyage  2:12%  is  the  fastest  trotting  three- 
year-old  colt  of  the  year.  There  was  considerable 
talk  earlier  in  the  season  that  he  was  not  good,  but 
like  all  the  horses  in  W.  S.  Clark's  string  he  has  im 
proved  both  in  manners  and  speed  since  going  intt 
Trainer  Gerrity's  hands. 


W.  A.  Clark  Jr ,  who  owns  the  great  colt  Bon  Voy- 
age, winner  of  the  Hartford  Futurity  for  three-year- 
old  trotters,  after  the  great  victory  presented  eacli 
of  the  stable  boys  with  $50,  and  the  groom  of  the 
colt  $100,  giving  to  his  trainer  and  driver,  J.  O.  Ger- 
rity,  a  nice  new  $500  bill. 


Aiming  the  horses  being  worked  at  Pleasanton  is 
the  hundsome  stallion  Mokelumne,  owned  by  Geo. 
Fox  of  Clements.  The  horse  is  in  the  string  of  W. 
DeRyder,  who  thinks  very  highly  of  him.  Mokelumne 
is    by    Silver   Bow    2:16,    dam    Kitty   Fox   by    Pancoast. 

sec 1    dam    by    Dictator,    third    dam    by    Mambrino 

Time,  fourth  dam  by  Paddy  Burns  and  fifth  dam  by 
Mosely's  Copperhead.  "Moke"  is  now  six  years  old, 
a  line  Individual,  and  a  great  prospect.  A  coming 
two-year-old  by  him  owned  by  S  S.  Stiles  of  Oak- 
land  Is  one  of  the  fastest  youngsters  for  his  oppor- 
tunltlea  in  California.  He  can  show  a  forty  gait  and 
i.;    only    just    broken. 


Do  you  raise  any  beef  cattle  on  your  farm  ?  II 
so,  you  should  be  improving  your  herd  all  the  timi 
whether  it  is  large  or  small.  The  sale  of  cattle  from 
the  celebrated  Humboldt  Herd  of  Rush  &  Pierce  will 
take  place  at  Suisun,  October  19th.  Buy  a  young 
registered  bull  or  a  few  heifers  and  breed  up.    It  pays. 


Jack  Curry  has  returned  from  his  Eastern  trip  with 
Mr.  Montanya's  mares  Tuna  and  Brilliant  Gril.  Both 
these  mares  were  off  during  the  entire  trip. 


Miss  Kinney,  by  winning  a  heat  in  2:11%  at  Colum- 
bus. Tuesday  in  a  field  of  fifteen  trotters,  took  second, 
money  out  of  the  race  and  led  the  spectators  to  be- 
lieve that  she  will  be  in  McKinney's  2:10  list  before 
the  season  ends.  Her  dam  is  by  Don  Cossack  and 
she  was  bred  by  Chas.  Frost  of  Pasadena.  She  is 
nine  years  old.

I  In   August. 

In  thi  ss   trot,   won  by  Pat  T.,   the  McKin- 

ire  Miss  Kinney  took  a  record  of  2:11%  by  win- 
the    third   heat.

Norman  B.  by  Phallas  surprised  everybody  by  win- 
ning the  first  heat  of  the  2:0!)  trot  in  2:06%  and  taking

ish   of    the    race    went    over    until    Wednesday,    when 
Glenwood  M.  won  the  deciding  heat  in  2:0S%. 

But  one  heat  of  the  2:15  pace  was  decided  on

On  Wednesday  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  trotting

six  starters.  Susie  N.  and  Bon  Voyage  divided  favor- 
itism in  the  pools.  The  race  went  to  Susie  N.  in 
straight  heats  in  the  fast  time  of  2:10  and  2:09%. 
This  is  the  fastest  time  by  three  seconds  made  by  a 
three-year-old  this  year,  and  stamps  Susie  N.  as 
one  of  the  best  trotters  of  her  age  ever  produced. 
She  is  by  Moko,  dam  Gipsy  Dark  by  Wiltwood,  a  son 
of  Wilton,  second  dam  Zoulou  by  Electro  Benton

heat  of  which  was- -paced  Tuesday.  He  won  in  straight 
order  and  took  a  new  record  of  2:05%,  in  the  second 
heat.  Miss  Georgie  by  McKinney  was  a  starter  in  this 
event,  but  was  fifth  in  the  summary. 

The  2:13  pace  went  to  Jubilee  and  was  also  a  fast 
race,  the  second  heat  being  paced  in  2:06%. 

On  Thursday  one  new  world's  record  was  made  and 
two  others  equaled,  while  most  of  the  heats  were  in 
unusually  fast  time. 

ft"ba1    is   said    to   be   the  best  time   record  that  the 
Grand  ("ireuit  has  ever  known  was  made  at  Columbus 
i      today,    when    sixteen    heats    were    trotted    and 
paced  to  an  average  of  2:07  11-16. 

Weiitworth's  victory  in  the  2:06  trot  was  the  sensa- 
tion. George  G.  took  the  first  heat,  and  led  past  the 
half  in  the  second.  There  he  broke  and  Wentworth 
nosed  out  Dr.   Strong,  the  favorite. 

By  trotting  the  second  heat  in  the  2:06  class  trot 
in  2:04%  the  Philadelphia  gelding,  Wentworth,  now 
divides  the  honors  with  the  New  York  gelding,  Tiver- 
ton 2:04%,  as  the  world's  fastest  trotting  gelding  in 
a  race  and  winner  of  the  fastest  second  heat  ever 
trotted  in  a  race.  Time  by  quarters,  0:31,  1:01%,  1:32 
and    2.04  '  ,. 

in  the  2:06  class  pace  the  Canadian  mare,  Maud 
Keswick,  won  in  straight  heats,  pacing  three  of  the 
fastest  heats  ever  paced  by  a  mare  in  the  history  of 
i  harness  turf.  She  finished  in  2:04%,  2:04%  and 
2:00,  total  seconds  of  which  foot  up  to  15%  seconds. 
Edith  W.  by  Ben  Lomond  Jr.  held  the  previous 
record  for  ;i n  event  made  over  the  Oakley 
Park  track,  Cincinnati,  on  September  26,  1901.  Her 
three  heats  were  In  2:05%,  2:05%,  2:05%,  or  total  of 
16  for  the  three  heats.  Thus-  the  new  world's  cham-

Lecco  2:09%,  the  son  of  Bonnie  Boy  that  has  made 

the  i'-i  two  seasons  at  Pleasanton,  ran  show  speed  at 

any    time    !uj    is    taken    on    the   track.     He   trotted    a 

in   33  seconds   there   one   day  last  week  and 

did   it   very   handily. 


James  Paris  Jr.  of  Sacramento,  who  went  to  the 
province  of  Alberta,  Canada,  last  spring,  returned' 
this  week  for  a  short  stay  and  will  remove  all  his 
standard  bred  and  draft  stock  from  the  Paris  Stock;' 
Farm  on  the  Sacramento  river,  to  the  new  FariS 
Stock  Farm,  which  has  been  established  about  two 
miles  from  the  thriving  new  town  of  Red  Deer  irS 
the  province  mentioned.  Mr.  Paris  has  a  fine  cola 
lection  of  brood  mares  and  will  place  at  the  head  of* 
his  stud  the  young  stallion  Jim  Paris  by  Monbells 
(son  of  Mendocino  and  Beautiful  Bells),  dam  the 
great  brood  mare  Edith  by  Geo.  Wilkes.  Edith  is 
the  dam  of  Idolita  2:09%,  Mendolita  2:18%,  full 
brother  and  sister  to  Jim  Paris.  Edith  is  also  the 
dam  of  Hummer,  sire  of  Bouncer  2:09  and  27  mor 
in  2:30.  Jim  Paris  is  a  two-year-old  and  a 
promising  young  trotter.  JJe  is  one  of  the  best  bre 
colts  ever  bred  at  Senator  Stanford's  Palo  Alto  Stoi 
Farm,  being  a  result  of  the  Electioneer- Wilkes  ciol_ 
that  is  admitted  to  be  the  greatest  combination  of 
trotting  blood  yet  made  by  advanced  breeders  of  the 
American  trotter.  Mr.  Paris  says  the  outlook  for  the 
new  country  in  which  he  has  located  is  very  bright. 
The  land  is  very  rich  and  is  being  rapidly  settled,  as 
high  as  five  carloads  of  actual  settlers  having  reached 
Red  Deer  in  one  day.  A  yield  of  fifty  bushels  of 
high  class  milling  wheat  to  the  acre  is  common  and 
one  yield  of  eighty  bushels  was  reported  this  year. 
While  the  mercury  drops  to  40  degrees  below  zero  in 
midwinter  sometimes,  the  country  is  particularly 
healthful.  Good  horses  for  road  and  work  purposes 
are  in  demand,  the  available  supply  being  most! 
cayuse  ponies.  The  horses  which  Mr.  Faris  will  shi 
to  Red  Deer  will  fill  about  three  ears,  and  will  lea- 
Sacramento  early  next  month. 


UKIAH    WILL    HOLD   A    MEETING. 


The  Agricultural  Park  Association  of  Ukiah  will' 
hold  a  five  days'  race  meeting  during  the  month  of 
October,  beginning  on  the  3d.  Everything  points  tl 
a  very  successful  meeting,  but  owing  to  delays  in 
making  arrangements  the  program  will  consist  chiefly 
of  running  events  at  short  distances.  However  there 
will  be  several  Sonoma  county  trotters  at  the  track, 
among  them  Robizola,  R.  W.  P.,  Wilmar,  Gertie  H., 
Charley  Belden  and  Grace  McKinney.  The  three  first 
mentioned  can  step  a  half  mile  almost  any  day  in 
1:03  and  are  to  start  in  races  of  half  mile  heats,  so 
some  very  fast  trotting  may  be  expected  on  this  halt 
mile  track,  which  is  one  of  the  best  on  the  coast. 
Ukiah  citizens  have  raised  $1300  for  purses,  but  too 
late  to  advertise  harness  purses  at  a  mile,  the  major- 
ity of  the  trotters  and  pacers  having  gone  south'  or 
been  sent  home  and  let  up  on.  Mr.  Thos.-Charlton's 
stallion  Dumont  S.  2:20,  own  brother  to  Sonoma  Girl, 
and  Mr.  H.  B.  Smith's  fast  mare  Ayeress,  also  by 
Lynwood  W..  will  take  part  in  the  races.  Lynwooi 
W.  will  have  five  representatives  present  during  tl 
meeting,  all  without  records  excepting  Dumont 
and  they  can  all  step  in  2:15  or  better.  The  runnini 
purses  will  range  from  $100  to  $160  and  be  at  all  di. 
tances  from  a  quarter  of  a  mile  to  a  mile  and  affl 
eighth.  L.  G.  Simmons- is  president  of  the  Associa- 
tion, T.  Charlton  vice-president,  F.  G.  Albertson  sec- 
retary. Henry  Marks  treasurer  and  H.  B.  Smith  super- 
intendent. 


The  starters  in  the  Kentucky  Futurity  will  probably 
be  made  up  from  the  following  list:  Silver  Wings, 
bay  colt  by  Arion  2:07%,  dam  Luni  by  Bow  Bells 
2:19%;  Plyingdotte.  bay  filly  by  Bernadotte  2.19%; 
dam  Ruth  Ashmoreland  by  Flying  Artillery;  Kather- 
ine  L.  2:12%;  bay  filly  by  Libert  Chimes  2:22%,  dam 
Grismonda  by  Gregory  the  Great;  Elmford,  bay  colt 
by  Red  Chute  2:24%,  dam  Laurine  by  Stamboul;  Ro- 
sa-bel,  bay  filly  by  Adbell  2:23,  dam  Junie  Fleet- 
wood by  Simmons  2:28;  The  Phantom,  black  colt  by 
Boreal  2.15%,  dam  Shadow  2:18  by  Nighthawk;  Miss 
Adbell.  bay  filly  by  Adbell  2:23,  dam  Emma  T.  2:17% 
by  Socrates;  Susie  N.,  roan  filly  by  Moko,  dam  Gypsy 
Dark  by  Wiltwood;  Evania,  brown  filly  by  Clay  King, 
dam  Frances  Strong  by  Strong  Boy;  Bonnie  Me, 
brown  filly  by  Bonnie  Direct  2:05%,  dam  Myrtle 
2:13'^  by  Anteeo  2:16%;  The  Minute  Man,  bay  colt  by 
Bingen  2:06%.  dam  Miss  Pratt  2:17  by  Heir-at-Law; 
Governor  Crane,  bay  colt  by  Bingen  2:06%,  dam  Now- 
aday 2:14%  by  Lookaway;  Bon  Voyage  2:12%  by  Ex- 
pedition  2.15%,   dam  Bon  Mot  by  Erin. 


Susie  N.  2:09%  in  the  second  heat  of  a  race  is  only 
a  half  second  behind  Fantasy's  three-year-old  record 
of  2:0S%.  As  Susie  N.  finished  strong  it  is  evident 
that  she  could  easily  take  the  world's  record  for  her 
age  if  driven  for  it.  She  has  fourteen  crosses  of 
Hambletonian  through  his  best  sons,  and  there  is 
■good  four-mile  thoroughbred  blood  mixed  with  it.

GOOD  TROTTING  AT  SYRACUSE. 


Trotting 
Zephyr,  b. 


The  New  York  State  Fair  held  at  Syracuse  is  a 
member  of  the  Grand  Circuit.  Its  meeting  was  to.  open 
on  Monday.  September  11th,  but  heavy,  rain  storms 
prevented  and  it  was  Thursday  before  the  track 
could  be  used.  Nothing  daunted,  however,  the 
racing  began  at  10  a.  m.  each  morning,  and  by  Sat- 
urday at  5  o'clock  all  the  events  on  the  card  had  been 
concluded. 

On  Thursday  Josie,  sister  to  Billy  Red,  won  third 
money  in  the  2:15  pace,  and  the  next  race,  in  which 
any  of  the  California  horses  started,  was  the  2:09 
pace,  Owyho.  Ben  F.  and  Irish  representing  this 
State.  Owyho  and  Ben  F.  divided  third  and  fourth 
moneys,  but  Irish  was  last  in  the  summary. 

In  the  $10,000  trot  for  2:14  class  horses  Swift'  B. 
was  a  starter  but  did  not  get  any  of  the  dinero.  The 
race  went  to  Ethel's  Pride,  daughter  of  the  California 
bred  sire  Directum  2:05%.  Helen  Norte,  the  Oregon 
mare,  won  third  money,  and  a  son  of  Stamboul  got 
fourth. 

In  the  2:20  trot  the  same  day  the  Zombro  mare 
Italia  started.  She  was  a  bang  up  second  the  third 
heat  in  2:12%,  but  owing  to  an  accident  had  to  be 
drawn. 

|  No  less  than  eight  races  were  decided  on  Friday  and 
this  is  probably  the  record  for  one  day's  harness 
racing.     Twenty  thousand  people  were  present.     After 

;the   2:11    pace,    in    which    the    McKinney    mare.    Miss 

:Georgie,  was  a  starter,  but  not  in  the  money,  the. 
Chamber  of  Commerce  S2000  trot  was  called  and  the 
great  mare  Zephyr  by  Zombro  2:11  walked  away  with 

j it  in  three  straight  heats  in  2:07%,  2.09  and  2:0S,  one 

'of  the  best  races  that  has  been  trotted  this  year  on 

i  the  Grand  Circuit.  She  had  behind  her  such  trotters 
as  Mazette,  Norman  B.,  Angiola,  Direct  View,  Lis- 
onjero  and  others,  but  won  like  a  very  high  class  mare, 
and  but  for  a  slight  rain  that  fell  before  the  race  the 
time   would   have  been   a  second  faster   in   all   three 

\  heats. 

Morone,  the  black  gelding  owned  by  W.  A.  Clark, 
Jr.,  trotted  a  good  race  in  the  2:17  class.  The  race 
was  won  by  Pat  T.  in  heats  that  ranged  from  2:13% 
to  2:12%.  Morone  was  a  good  second  in  the  first  and 
last  heats  and  third  in  the  second  heat.  Miss  Kinney, 
a  daughter  of  McKinney,  won  third  money. 

The  eighth  race  of  the  day  was  the  2:07  trot,  with 
Snyder  McGregor.  George  G.,  McKinley,  Wentworth 
and  Charley  Herr  as  starters.  George  G.  reeled  off 
the   first  heat  in   2:05%,   but   Snyder  McGregor   beat 

,  him  the  next  two  heats  in  2:08%  and  2:07%.  This 
is  a  new  record  for  George  G.  and  within  a  half  sec- 

i  ond  of  the  fastest  mile  trotted  this  year. 

Audobon  Boy  started  against  his  record  of  2:03% 
during  the  afternoon  and  paced  a  mile  in  2:00%.  Dur- 
ing the  day  twenty-five  heats  were  trotted  and  paced 
at  an  average  speed  of  2:08%. 

The  meeting  closed  Saturday  with  six  races  on  the 
program.  In  the  consolation  of  the  $10,000  trot,  Swift 
B.  got  the  first  heat  in  2:12%,  but  was  beaten  the 
other  heats  by  Kid  Shea  in  faster  time. 

Sweet  Marie  won  the  free-for-all  trot  from  Dr. 
Strong  in  straight  heats  in  2:06%  and  2:05  and  seemed 

;to  do  it  handily.  Admiral  Dewey  tried  to  lower  his 
record  of  2:06%,  but  a  mile  in  2:07%  was  the  best  he 
could  do.  The  summaries  of  the  three  days  racing

this  year.  With  two  of  them  it  is  the  recurrence 
of  an  old  trouble  which  was  thought  to  have  been 
repaired  so  that  the  defective  point  was  stronger  than 
heretofore,  but  it  appears  that  such  was  the  case. 
The  disappointment  is  great  all  around,  as  much  was 
expected  of  these  horses  for  the  remainder  of  the 
season. 


Newark  Call:  If  there  is  physical  weakness  in  any 
part  of  a  horse  the  training  necessary  to  fit  him  for 
campaign  work  will  bring  it  out  the  same  as  in  an 
athlete.  There  have  been  great  disappointments  in 
this  respect  in  all  training  stables.  Weeks  of  steady, 
pains-taking  work  have  been  expended  on  a  horse, 
■only  to  have  him  develop  some  weakness  just  at  the 
time  when  he  was  considered  ready  for  track  work. 
Sometimes  the  disability  is  only  temporary,  but  even 
in  that  case  the  animal  is  thrown  out  for  the  season. 
More  often,  however,  the  developed  weakness  be- 
comes permanent,  and  although  the  horse  may  be 
patched  up  for  a  time,  he  breaks  down  when  the 
strain  comes.  Times  without  number  has  this  oc- 
curred. No  amount  of  veterinary  skill  could  put  Star 
Pointer  in  condition  to  campaign  again  after  his  race 
with  Joe  Patchen,  at  the  Empire  track.  We  could 
name  scores  of  horses  that  were  permanently  retired 
owing  to  physical  defect  at  the  age  when  they  should 
have  been  at  the  height  of  their  powers.  The  chain 
gave  way  at  the  weakest  link,  as  is  always  the  case. 
One  of  the  speediest  mares  ever  owned  in  this  state, 
and  few  horses  anywhere  had  ever  shown  more  speed 
at  the  trotting  gait,  went  wrong  in  a  hind  leg  just 
at  the  time  when  her  great  powers  were  approaching 
full  development.  She  was  turned  out  for  an  entire 
season,  and  when  taken  up  again  stood  training  so 
well  that  her  owner  was  encouraged  to  believe  that 
the  trouble  had  been  eradicated,  but  she  went  down 
in  the  second  race  in  which  she  started,  and  was 
never  again  able  to  race.  This  mare  was  only  six 
years  old  when  she  was  retired.  It  is  reported  that 
three  very  speedy  horses  which  have  been  in  training 
at  Waverley  have  "gone  wrong"  and  will  not  be  raced 


Spirit  of  the  West.  In  order  to  make  the  breeding 
industry  a  success,  and  make  the  business  profitable 
a  great  deal  of  careful  and  painstaking  work  is  neces- 
sary. Profit  and  success  do  not  obtain  without  effort 
an'd  hard  work  of  some  one.  It  is  easy  to  depend 
altogether  too  much  on  the  other  fellow.  The  division 
of  the  work  is  not  always  evenly  borne  by  all  the 
parties  at  interest,  yet  all  are  anxious  to  share  enual 
or  more  so  in  the  net  results.  The  stallion  owner, 
the  breeder,  the  owner  and  the  man  who  is  entrusted 
to  develop  and  train  are  all  interested.  The  transac- 
tion in  too  many  cases  assumes  the  nature  of  a 
game  where  individual  interest  overshadows  general 
good.  There  is  a  grand  difference  between  joining  in 
a  game  and  being  connected  with  a  great  enterprise 
which  has  for  its-  purpose  the  promotion  and  develop- 
ment of  a  great  industry,  international  in  extent, 
profitable  to  the  country  and  creditable  to  the  men 
engaged  in  it.  How  would  it  do  to  turn  over  a  new 
leaf  and  all  join  in  a  grand  movement  to  aid  one 
another  in  building  up  the  business? 


Chicago  Horseman:  A  point  well  taken  by  a  cor- 
respondent recently  was  to  the  effect  that  track  man- 
agers are  too  prone  to  postpone  races  on  account 
of  bad  weather.  Of  course  no  one  wishes  to  see  a 
valuable  horse  injured  by  racing  over  a  track  made 
unsafe  by  the  rain,  but  on  the  other  hand  it  is  un- 
reasonable for  owners  to  expect  a  parlor  track  every 
time  their  horse  is  turned  for  the  w*ord.  Many  a 
time  thousands  of  spectators  have  been  disappointed 
because  of  postponements  which  were  really  unneces- 
sary. It  would  be  better  for  all  concerned,  track  man- 
agers, horse  owrners  and  the  public,  if  racing  was 
conducted  according  to  schedule  whenever  possible. 
Some  horses  might  not  do  so  well  on  a  sticky,  muddy 
track  as  on  a  very  hard  one,  but  the  owners  of  good 
mud  horses  would  not  object  and  the  others  would 
have  to  set  it  down  as  one  of  the  fortunes  of  the 
sport.  And  some  owners  would  be  surprised  to  find 
how  well  their  horses  can  perform  over  a  muddy 
track. 


OAK    PARK   DRIVING  CLUB   MATINEE. 


The  Oak  Park  Driving  Club  held  its  first  matinee 
at  the  new  Agricultural  Park,  Sacramento,  last  Sun- 
day, and  despite  the  fact  that  a  brisk  north  wind  was 
blowing  a  large  crowd  assembled  and  seemed  well 
pleased  with  the  showing  made. 

There  were  but  three  events,  two  trotting  and  one 
running  race,  but  the  manner  in  which  the  sport  was 
conducted  showed  that  the  club  intends  making  a 
success  of  its  new  venture. 

The  first  race  was  a  trot  for  horses  of  the  three- 
minute  class,  in  which  the  following  were  entered: 
Charles  Lewis'  Prince  L..  Ira  Woodworth's  Baby 
Knight.  Harry  Raynsford's  Lady  Silver  Bow,  W.  A. 
Gilbert's  C.  C,  Howard  Kerr's  Twinkle,  Clarence 
Crouch's  Maud.  This  race  was  best  two  in  three  and 
Prince  L.  captured  the  event  in  straight  heats,  show- 
ing speed  sufficient  to  be  in  faster  company. 

The  2:40  class  trot  was  also  a  two  in  three  race, 
and  the  entries  were  J.  Hudson's  Chicken  by  Knight. 
J.  H.  Allen's  Bumble  Bee  by  Daedalion,  Oscar  Wil- 
bur's Starling  by  Glen  Wilkes,  and  Geo.  Gillespie's 
Mott  by  Altamont.  After  losing  the  second  heat  to 
Starling,  Chicken  captured  the  race.     Best  time  2:50. 

The  third  race  was  a  gallop  for  a  quarter  of  a 
mile  between  Hamp  Cowles,  Automobile  and  Oscar 
Gould's  Kid.  The  flag  fell  to  a  good  start,  but  Gould's 
horse  became  ungovernable  and  took  the  fence.  Auto- 
mobile winning  in  25%   seconds. 

The  club  is  so  well  pleased  with  the  success  of 
its  first  meet  that  another  matinee  will  in  all  prob- 
ability be  given  on  Thanksgiving  day.  Following  are 
the   summaries:

has  raced  so  well  and  so  gamely  on  the  California 
circuit  this  year.  We  understand  $2000  was  the  pur- 
chase price  and  Mr.  Herrscher  got  a  bargain,  as

ROD,   GUN    AND    KENNEL 


Conducted    by    J.    X.    De  WITT. 


INTERSTATE    ASSOCIATION     TOURNAMENT, 


state  blue  rock  tourna- 

s  held  on   September  15th,  16th  and 
17th   at   the   Ingleside   grounds   under   the   auspices   of 
o  Trap  Shooting:  Association. 
shoot   will   be  noted   in  the  trap   shoot'.ng  an- 
Dne   of   the   best    managed   and 
tically  conducted  tournaments  held  here 
up  to  the  present  time.     The  efforts  of  the  San  Fran- 
Shooting    .Association    had    received    the 
.  .rsement    of    many    of    our    shooters    and 
now  that  the  meeting  is  a  matter  of  the  past,  the  work 


spectators,  among  whom  the   fiair  sex  were  conspic- 
uous, both  in  numbers  and  enthusiasm. 

This  event  was  a  struggle  from  start  to  finish,  the 
latter  being  somewhat  sensational  in  the  final  denoue- 
ment. The  100-target  allotment  per  man  was  divide  1 
in  six  sections  of  15  and  20  targets,  and  the  squads 
went  down  the  line  of  traps  alternately.  One  by  one 
the  cracks  fell  by  the  wayside.  Either  the  IS,  19  or 
20  yards  was  too  telling  a  handicap,  or  enough  tar- 
gets were  slipped  to  put  a  favorite  out  of  the  run- 
ning for  the  cup.  When  the  last  squads  were  finishing 
a  glance  over  the  score  sheets  showed  George  Syl- 
vester (16  yards)  to  be  the  high  gun,  with  97  out  of 
100  to  his  credit.  There  was  a  chance  for  one  shooter 
to  eventually  win  out.  and  that  man  was  the  Los 
Angeleno,  R.  H.  Bungay,  who  had  a  score  of  77   out 


is  the  subject  of  much  favorable     Qf   SO,   with    his   final   string  of   20   still   to   shoot.     A 

straight  would  tie  Sylvester,  and   the  chance  to  win 


comment. 

One  of  the   principal   results  will   be  future  benefit 
:  from  the  opportunity  of  observing  and  study- 
ing the  management  and  system  in  conducting  a  big 

shoot. 

The  arrangement  of  the  grounds,  trapping,  scoring 
boards,  squad  hustling— without  hustlers,  posting  re- 
sults, paying  of  purses  15  minutes  after  events  were 
nd    the   many   details   connected   with   a    shoot 
worked   smoothly,   rapidly   and   satisfactory   for   three 


on  the  shoot-off  was  regarded  by  many  as  being  fa- 
vorable to  the  man  from  the  citrus  belt.  Bungay  fin- 
ished his  last  20  at  a  swinging  clip,  centering  almost 
every  target  in  a  cool  and  assuring  way. 

Manager  Shaner  then  announced  that  Sylvester  and 
Bungay  would  shoot  out  the  tie  at  20  targets,  16  yards 
distance.  The  two  shooters  stepped  to  the  score, 
shook  hands  and  began  firing  at  the  clays,  Sylvester 
shooting  first.  Tlie  contestants  were  keenly  watched 
by  a  large  audience.  Sylvester  finally  won,  17  tar- 
gets against  his  opponent's  16,  the  trophy  cup. 

The    purse    in    the    handicap    amounted    to    $S12  50 


George  Sylvester  and  R.  M.  Bungay,  97  each,  divided; 
Del  Cooper  (18  yards)  of  Bellingham,  Wash.,  91 
breaks,  and  Fred  Schultz  (16  yards)  of  San  Fran- 
cisco divided  third  and  fourth  purse;  Ed  Schultz  (19 
yards),  A.  J.  Webb  (18  yards),  W.  H.  Varien  (IS 
yards)    of   Pacific    Grove,    F.    B.    Mills    (16    yards)    of 


days,  in  fact   was  a  clock-like  working  object  lesson.  and    wag    distributed    among    the    twelve    high    guns. 

The  supervising  genius  of  the  tournament  was  Mr. 
Elmer  E.  Shaner.  to  whom  is  due  every  praise  for 
the  successful  running  of  the  meeting  Mr.  Shaner's 
management  is  an  evidence  of  executive  abilities  of 
a  high  order.  He  had  an  eye  for  every  detail  and  a 
ready    ear    for    everybody,    besides    which    he    is    the 

happy    possessor   of   a    genial    personality    that    made  Santa   Ana    and   H     p    jaCobsen    (15    yards)    of   San 

him    a    host    of    friends   among   our   sportsmen.      The  Francisc0i  witn  90  each>  divided  fifth,  sixth,  seventh, 

results  that  were  apparent  to  the  onlooker  were  de-  eignth  and  nmtn  purses;    C.   C.  Nauman    (18   yards),

shooting  on  the  Pacific  slope.  The  visitors  were  popu- 
lar from  the  start  and  are  an  all  round  aggregation 
of  good  fellows.  There  was  an  immediate  fraterniza- 
tion of  East  and  West  and  a  bond  of  good  fellowship 
cemented  that  will  be  lasting.  The  visitors  were  ever 
ready  to  impart  information,  make  comparisons,  in 
fact  go  into  or  take  up  any  phase  of  the  sport,  with 
or  for  the  benefit  of  the  Coast  men.  Not  that  our 
shooters  are  not  up  to  the  times,  but  it  was  recognized 


with  a  total  score  of  87  breaks  out  of  100.  Union  Gun 
Club  team,  E.  Holling,  E.  Klevesahl,  Dick  Reed,  W. 
J.  Iverson  and  George  Sylvester,  with  S6  breaks,  won 
second  money.  The  Eastern  team,  Marshall,  Crosby, 
Herschy,  Powers  and  Gilbert,  scored  but  a  total  of 
S3  and  were  beaten  by  the  two  local  teams. 

Whilst  the  attendance  was  encouraging  for  the  an- 
nual recurrence  of  the  tournament,  still  we  regret  that 
there  was  not  a  larger  number  of  entries.     When  the

as  well,  would  afford  practically  an  encyclopaedia  of 
information  that  was  worthy  of  consideration. 

Captain  Tom  Marshall  was  introduced  to  the  big 
audience  of  Sunday  by  Clarence  A.  Haight.  Marshall 
in  response  spoke  eloquently  and  fittingly  for  the  oc- 
:ind  in  turn  in  an  apt  and  happy  manner  in- 
troduced his  associates,  Crosby.  Gilbert.  Hirschy, 
Fanning.    Heikes.    C.    D.    Plank,    C.    M.    Powers    and 

Shaner.  The  episode  was  a  pleasant  one  and  the  strong  reasons  tha^  s'hVuld  hive  made  the  tournament 
speaker  was  frequently  greeted  by  his  hearers  with  attended  Dy  more  shooters  than  were  present  and  par- 
applause,  ticipated.     But  at  that  there  was  a  good  turnout.    The 

The  reception  committee  did  much  to  look  after  the     northern  cities,  save  Bellingham,  Wash.,  and  Medford 
nnfort  and  convenience  of  everybody  on  the  grounds.      Qy ^   were  nQt  represented_     But  the  drawbacks  to   a

some  of  the  boys  will  realize  that  a  big  bet  was  over- 
looked. 

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

P.  Jacobsen,  J.  J.  Sweeney,  Sam  Watson,  Mr.  Stevens 
and  Mr.  <»|i\er.  Their  ready  efforts  and  speedy  at- 
tention to  every  detail  of  the  work  was  appreciated 
by  all. 

The  Preliminary  Handicap  on  Saturday  started  be- 
fore nomi  and  was  finished  early,  the  event  being 
closely  followed  by  o  large  audience.  The  race  was 
contested  keenly  from  start  to  finish.  As  the  shoot 
narrow  sections  of  targets  the  in- 

terest   and    enthusiasm    of    everybody    present    was

large  representation  from  the  north  were  time,  dis- 
tance and  heavy  expense.  Vallejo,  Napa,  Santa  Rosa, 
Marysville,  Oroville.  Sacramento,  Davis.  Chico,  Wood- 
land, St  Helena,  Pinole,  Martinez,  San  Jose,  HolKster, 
Fresno,  Los  Angeles,  San  Diego,  Santa  Ana,  Monterey, 
Pacific  Grove  and  other  points  were  well  represented 
by  skilled  shooters. 

The  added  money  figured  up  $1500  as  follows:  $420 
the  first  day.  $390  and  a  trophy  cup  ($50)  the  second, 
and  $540  and  a  trophy  cup  ($100)  the  third  day. 

Weather  conditions  on  Friday  were  foggy  but  favor- 
able. The  background  was  good,  the  targets  showing 
up  well  against  the  sky.  In  the  afternoon  the  weather 
became  chilly  and  windy,  the  day's  shooting  was  over 
before  the  weather  conditions  materially  interfered 
with   the   shooters. 

On  Saturday  morning  warmth  and  sunshiny  condi- 
tions made  the  day  comfortable  and  all  that  could  be 
desired  for  trap  shooting  until  a  brisk  wind  sprung 
up  in  the  afternoon;  the  breze,  however,  came  too 
late  to  do  any  appreciable  damage  to  scores. 

Sunday  was  a  warm  balmy  day  in  the  forenoon 
and  pleasantly  warm  in  the  afternoon — for  many 
shooters  an  ideal  day  in  which  to  shoot  blue   rocks. 

The  traps  worked  well  throughout  the  shoot;  at 
times  the  squad  firing  was  sensationally  rapid.  Even 
at  this,  many  shooters  were  unconsciously  carried 
along  with  the  swing  of  affairs  and  shot  faster,  if 
not  better,  than  they  ever  did  before.  The  birds  came 
SO  fast  for  Gilbert  at  one  spell,  that  veteran  as  he  is, 
he  slipped  6  out  of  15  in  the  fifth  section  of  the 
preliminary  shoot.  A  noticeable  feature  during  both 
handicaps  was  that  the  squads  were  graded — each 
quintet  standing  at  the  same  distance  peg.  This 
attention  to  detail  made  the  work  of  the  shooters 
easy,  as  against  a  squad  shooing  from  various  marks, 
according  to  handicap  place,  always  causing  confu- 
sion, if  not  worse.  As  an  example  of  eveness  of 
shooting,  is  the  work  of  Mr.  Heikes.  who  scored  each 

i  13  out  of  iso.

There  were  nine  events  on  the  15th  inst..  in  all  of 
which  there  were  better  purses  than  ever  before 
given  at  a  Coast  blue  rock  tournament.  In  going  over 
the  following  summaries  it  will  be  seen  that  13's  paid 
in  most  instances  double,  or  more,  the  entrance 
money.  The  12's  were  in  one  occasion.  The  purses 
in  all  of  the  events,  other  than  the  two  handicaps, 
were  divided  on  the  Rose  system,  9-5-2  for  15  target 
and  12-9-5-2  for  20  target  events.  In  each  of  the 
three  minor  events  on  the  16th  and  17th  the  purses 
were  as  good  "as  those  distributed  the  first  day.  as

Other  and  interesting  data  in  connection  with  the 
tournament  may  be  found  in  communications  which 
appear  under  the  head  of  "Trade  Notes."

Fred    Gilbert,    two    men    that    are    in    a    class    all   hj 
themselves    when    it    comes    to    smashing    inanimat* 
targets.   and  men  who   always   shoot  the  Winchestei 
"Leader"  shells,  demonstrated  the  reliability  and  uni- 
formity of  these  shells  to  the  utmost  satisfaction  o: 
every  person  that  saw  them  shoot.     The  high  exper 
average   of   the  first   day   was   made   by   Mr.   Crosby 
score  14S   out  of  the  possible  150.     The  second  higl 
expert   average   was   captured   by    Mr.    Gilbert,    scow

on  the  first  day  was  made  by  Mr.  Crosby,  who  fin- 
ished the  program  events  with  an  unfinished  run  o 
123.  which  run  he  continued  on  the  second  day  unti 
he  had  scored  157  straight,  which  now  stands  as  thi 
Pacific    Coast   record   for   a   straight   run.      The   higl 
expert  average  for  the  second  day  was  also  capturec 
by  Mr.  Crosby,  score  145  out  of  the  possible  150.     Mr 
Gilbert  finished  second  with  a  score  of  143  out  of  nil 
alloted   150.   making  a  run  of  142   straight,   which  ii 
now  the  second  best  run  of  consecutive  breaks.     Thi 
former  coast  record  for  a  run  was  held  by  Mr.  Ed 
Schultz,    115   straight.     The   high   expert   average  fD] 
the  closing  day  of  the  tournament  was  captured  Trj 
Mr.   Gilbert,  score  145   out  of  the  possible   150.     TKf

score  of  434  out  of  the  450  shot  at.     The  Preliminary

Hagerman  of  Los  Angeles  with  the  score  of  93  breaki 
out  of  the  100  shot  at  in  this  event.     The  best  scon 
in    the   event  was   97   out   of  the   100   and  was  madi 
by  Mr.  Crosby,  but  the  event  being  open  to  amateur 
only,  Mr    Crosby's  score  was  in  glory  only.     The  mail 
event  of  the  tournament,  the  Pacific  Coast  Handicap 
was  tied  for  between  Mr.  R.  Bungay  of  Los  Angele; 
and  Mr.  Geo.  Sylvester  of  San  Francisco  on  the  spleh

coast,    Mr.    Sylvester,    shooting   "Winchester    "Leader' 
shells,    outshot    Mr.    Bungay   and   was   thus   awardei 
the   much   coveted   prize.     The   highest   score    in  th 
event  was  made  by  Mr.  Gilbert,  9S  out  of  the  100, 
the  handicap  heing  for  amateurs  only.  Mr.   Giltie:

tournament  was  captured  by  Mr    Dell  Cooper  of 
lingham.    Washington,    with    a    Winchester    "pu]

A  Red  Letter  Day  for  U.  M.  C.  Ammunition. 

The  Pacific  Coast  meet  of  the  Interstate  Associatio 
of  Trap  Shooters  held  at  Ingleside.  Sept.  loth,  16t 
and  17th,  was  the  most  noteworthy  event  in  blue  roc.{ 
shooting  ever  held  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  It  wa 
marked  by  machine  like  methods,  it  was  conducte. 
in  a  thoroughly  business  like  manner  and  will  be 
great  educator  to  all  trap  shooters,  and  unquestion 
ably  will  prove  to  have  lasting  and  beneficial  effect 
upon  this  great  and  clean  out-of-door  sport  on  tb 
Pacific  Coast. 

Mr    Elmer   E.    Shaner.    both   by   natural    gifts   an 
experience,  is  an  ideal  conductor  for  such  events,  on 
in   which   a   man   must   have   rare   tact  and   firmnes 
in   order   to   avoid   friction.     These   gifts   are   notabl 
Mr.   Shaner's.     Mr.   Shaner  was  ably  assisted   by  M 
H.    C.    Hirschy,   a   man    of   experience   in    all   cleric: 
details  necessary  to  a  successful  outcome.     Space  doe] 
not   permit   of  the   individual   mention   of  the   entir] 
list   of  shooters   making   fine   scores.     The  winner 
the  Preliminary  Handicap  was  Mr.  C.  D.  Hagermalj* 
of  Los  Angeles.   Cal ,  who   shot  in  magnificent  fornw 
breaking  93  out  of  100  targets.     He  was  closely  fol 
lowed  by  W.  H.  Varien. "breaking  92.  by  E.  KlevesalW 
with  91  breaks.  M.  O.  Feudner  91.  C.  Carr  with  90.  ij 
All  the  above  shooters  were  users  of  U.  M.  C.  amjl 
munition  exclusively.    This  evidence  of  reliability  an| 
perfection    should   convince    any   "doubting    Thomasl 
in  the  shooting  brotherhood  of  the  quality  and  valut 
of  the  famous  U.  M.  C.  ammunition. 

On  the  following  day  the  important  event  was  thi 
contest  for  the  Pacific  Coast  Handicap,  the  cup  give- 
by  the  Association.  Mr.  Geo.  Sylvester  of  San  Fran* 
Cisco,  and  Mr.  R.  H.  Bungay  of  Los  Angeles  tied  if

exclusively  I'.  M.  C.  "Acme"  shells.  In  the  shoot-o

In  this  last  shoot  at  twenty  targets,  Mr.  Bungay 
used  U.  M.  C.  ammunition  exclusively.  Mr.  Bungay's 
performance  was  a  remarkable  exhibition  of  nerve  and 
steadiness,  from  the  fact  that  in  the  100  bird  event  it 
was  necessary  to  make  a  final  20  straight  to  tie  Mr. 
Sylvester's  score,  which  he  accomplished.  At  the 
finish  of  this  game  race,  spontaneous  applause  greeted 
Mr.  Bungay.  In  this  same  evnt  shooters  making  an 
average  of  90  per  cent  or  over,  were  Fred  Schultz. 
91  per  cent;  A.  J.  Webb,  90  per  cent;  E.  Schultz,  90 
per  cent:  W.  H.  Varien,  90  per  cent;  and  H.  B.  Jacob- 
sen,  90  per  cent:  all  amateurs  and  all  without  a  single 
^exception,  using  exclusively  and  solely  U.  M.  C.  am- 
munition. 

Among  the  list  of  amateurs  breaking  90  per  cent 
,Dr  over,  there  were  but  two  exceptions  to  this  splen- 
did record  for  the  U.  M.  C.  products,  and  even  in  one 
of  these  U-  M.  C.  shells  were  used,  with  the  exception 
>f  25  shells. 

On  this  final  day  there  were  in  various  events 
entries  to  the  number  of  102,  and  of  this  number,  81 
,vere  urers  of  IT.  M.  C.  "Magic,"  "Acme,"  "Monarch" 
ind  "Majestic"  shells,  exclusively.  A  conclusion  drawn 
;'rom  the  above  remarkable  Fecord  is  that  no  coinci- 
dence has  place  here  whatever,  simply,  that  so  not- 
ably a  popularity  is  and  must  be  based  on  merit  of 
l  high  order,  and  embraces  all  those  qualities  de- 
manded by  expert  shots,  as  it  is  a  well  known  fact 
hat  in  all  such  contests  where  strain  is  necessarily 
jresent,  ammunition  used  must  represent  accuracy. 
Reliability,  in  fact  perfection.  So  it  is  no  idle  boast 
jo  give  the  palm  to  the  U.  M.  C.  goods.

irame  finish,  Clarence  Nauman  of  San  Francisco  was 
ligh  gun  with  25  straight  kills,  using  U.  M.  G.  ammu- 
nition 

In  this  aggregation  of  fine  trap*  shots  were  W.  R. 

i  Crosby   and   Fred    Gilbert,   two    professional    shooters 

cvith  world  wide  reputations,  each  with   24  kills.     C. 

d.  Powers,   a  celebrated  amateur  shot,   also  with   24 

;ills  to  his  credit.     Others  scoring  24  were  P.  J.  Walsh,

A  significant  feature   of  these   phenomenal   exhibi- 

ions  of  trap  shooting  talent,  among  professional  and 

I   mateur    contestants    alike,    was    the    showing    made

HOG  CHOLERA. 

|:  Hog   cholera   and    swine   plague    are 

<  he  principal  diseases  of  hogs  that  ap- 

ear   in  the   form   of  an   epidemic   and 

(  hat  are  considered  very  infectious -and 

■  'ontagious.        Both    diseases    generally 

Appear  in  any  gjven  outbreak,  but  the 

Jieneral  name  of  hog  cholera  is  applied 

.1.)  such  outbreaks  as  well  as  to  several 

|>ther  diseases  that  appear  among  hogs. 

K  has   been   generally  recognized  that 

l.og  cholera  is  due  to  a  bacteria  com- 

Ijipnly   designated   as   the   hog   cholera 

T.acillus.      This    germ    is    present    to    a 

reat   extent   in   the   alimentary   canal, 

l.nd    is   passed    from    the    body    of  the 

ck  hog  in  large  numbers,  and  in  this 

ay    infect    lots    and    pens    where    the 

ck  hogs  are.     Such  infection  may  be 

isily  taken  into  the  body  of  the  well 

jg  with   food    and   water,   and   in   this 

ay  soon  infect  the  entire  lot. 

When  the  disease  appears  among  the 

>gs  of  a  given  locality,  as  on  a  cer- 

in   farm,  it  is   evident  that  the  pens 

e    infected       This    infection    may    be 

i'vrried    to    the    pens    in    a    number    of 

Kays,  but  generally  by  means  of  some 

;  :k  animal  or  on  the  shoes  of  parties 

ho  have  been  in  pens  where  sick  ani- 

aJs   are.     In   any   case   the   first  thing 

do   is   to    move   the   well   hogs   into 

2sh  lots,  and  where  there  will  be  no 

mmunication    with    the    pens    where 

e  sick  ones  are  kept.     If  others  take 

k    the    well    ones    should    be    moved 

ain,  as  it  will  do  little  good  to  mpve 

t  the  sick  ones  and  leave  the  others 

take  the  disease  in  the  infected  pen. 

ii=hings  from  infected  lots  when  car- 

d  into  streams  will  spread  the  dis- 

J|se    to    farms    located    further    down 

t  stream,  and  hog  raisers  should  be 

necially   careful   of  their  water  sup- 

'  when  the  disease  is  in  their  local- 

;  .      They    should    not    allow    hogs    to 

;e   water   from    a    stream   when    the 

■  ease  is  known  to  be  on  farms  above 


There  has  been"%  great  deal  of  work 
le  to  find   some   cure  or   preventive 

bog  cholera.  Certain  l'.nes  of  work 
■m  to  indicate  that  a  system  of  vac- 
ation may  be  perfected  that  will  act 

a    similar    manner    on    hogs    as    a 

ans    of    preventing   hog   cholera,    as 

i  xination   does   on   cattle   to   prevent 


blackleg.  If  such  a  method  is  found  to 
be  reliable  the  disease  will  be  practi- 
cally under  control.  The  feeding  and 
care  that  hogs  receive  will  do  much  to 
prevent  such  diseases,  as  unthrifty 
herds  are  the  ones  most  likely  to  con- 
tract any  disease.  Plenty  of  green  feed, 
such  as  cane,  alfalfa,  etc  ,  with  a  good 
supply  of  fresh,  clean  water  during  the 
summer  months  will  do  a  great  deal 
towards  keeping  hogs  in  the  best  pos- 
sible condition. 

The  Oklahoma  experiment  station  at 
Stillwater  has  devoted  considerable 
time  to  the  study  of  hog  cholera  and 
the  transmission  of  the  disease  by 
means  of  the  hog  cholera  bacillus.  This 
work  has  been  principally  along  the 
lines  of  producing  immunity  in  the 
small  experimental'animals  and  study- 
ing the  effects  of  the  germ  in  the  hog. 
To  facilitate  work  of  this  character  it 
is  very  desirable  to  know  of  the  exist- 
ence of  this  disease,  and  any  one  hav- 
ing diseases  of  this  nature  among  his 
hogs  will  aid  the  station  in  this  work 
by  communicating  the  fact  and  giving 
a  thorough  description  of  the  symp- 
toms and  course  of  the  disease. 


A   DEVICE  FOR  WATERING  STOCK. 


About  this  time  of  year  when  lakes 
and  ponds  become  low  cattle  are  al- 
ways encroaching  so  as  to  make  them 
decidedly  foul  and  muddy.  Then  some 
day  one  of  the  cattle  will  lie  down  and 
die  and  the  ranchers  will  tell  each 
other  that  black  leg  is  getting  the  cat- 
tle After  seeing  several  cattle  die 
very  queerly  a  "Weld  county  man  con- 
cludes that  it  is  the  dirty  water  that 
kills  the  stock  and  we  have  an  idea  he 
is  right  about  it.  As  a  general  propo- 
sition whenever  these  holes  are  fenced 
off  no  more  of  these  queer  deaths 
occur  among  the  stock.  Most  ditches 
are  not  reliable  enough  to  give  water 
for  cattle  all  the  time  so  it  is  neces- 
sary that  some  means  are  employed  to 
hold  a  week's  supply  of  water. 

In  telling  how  he  arranges  this  mat- 
ter the  Weld  county  man  says:  "A 
place  was  selected  on  the  low  side  of 
the  ditch  where  a  headgate  had  washed 
out  leaving  quite  a  hole.  This  was 
dammed  across  the  lower  end,  the  sides 
being  also  raised  a  little  until  a  small 


pond  is  made  forty  feet  long,  sixteen 
feet  wide  and  4M>  feet  deep  in  the 
deepest  place.  An  inch  and  a  quarter 
pipe  to  the  main  ditch  kept  it  full 
and  another  one  and  one-quarter  pipe 
provides  an  outflow.  A  three-quarter 
inch  pipe  runs  through  the  lower  end 
of  the  dam  and  about  150  feet  off  down 
a  hill  the  pipe  runs  into  a  small  tank 
holding  four  or  five  barrels.  In  the 
tank  is  a  float  valve  with  a  small  mo- 
lasses can  for  a  float.  When  a  little 
band  of  cattle  comes  in  for  water  the 
tank  fills  up  again  without  attention 
as  the  float  valve  opens  up  just  as  soon 
as  any  water  is  drank  and  shuts  up 
when  the  tank  is  full. 

"The  little  pond  is  fenced  so  that 
no  stock  can  get  into  it  and  the  small 
tank  is  set  against  a  fence  so  that 
stock  may  not  shove  it  and  is  also 
securely  fastened  to  the  fence.  The 
whole  thing — labor  and  all — did  not 
cost  more  than  $20  and  we  have  water 
there  every  day,  ditch  or  no  ditch,  for 
about  100  head  of  stock.  It  may  sound 
queer  but  it  is  the  truth  that  thirsty 
stock  will  go  right  over  the  main  ditch 
and  the  150  feet  more  to  the  tank  just 
to  drink  the  tank  water,  the  apparent 
reason  being  that  the  water  in  the 
ditch  is  muddy  while  that  in  the  tank 
is  settled  and  clear." 


general,  many  of  these  coming  to  bt» 
regarded  as  quite  effective  by  repel- 
lants.  Through  application  at  fre- 
quent intervals  to  stable  walls  and  fix- 
tures, and  even  to  the  animals  them- 
selves, the  fly  nuisance  is  greatly  miti- 
gated. Where  the  cows  are  milked  in- 
doors the  practice  of  keeping  the  sta- 
ble as  dark  and  cool  as  possible  will 
add  to  the  comfort  of  both  cow  and 
milkman  during  the  fly  season.  The 
use  of  cheap  blankets  to  be  worn  con- 
stantly, or  at  least  during  daylight 
hours,  is  advocated  by  some.  "Very  in- 
expensive ones  can  be  made  from  gun- 
nysacking,  and  if  designed  to  protect 
mainly  the  back  of  the  animal  they 
will  not  prove  uncomfortably  warm,  yet 
giving  protection  where  it  is  needed 
most.  Fighting  the  flies,  by  whatever 
method  the  dairyman  may  choose,  will 
not  be  found  expensive  in  the  long  run 
since  repelling  the  pests  from  the  sta- 
ble means  rest  and  contentment  for 
the  weary  animals,  making  them  easier 
to  handle,  to  say  nothing  of  the  more 
satisfactory  milk  flow  and  of  the  re- 
duction of  chance  for  contamination 
of  the  product,  opportunity  for  which 
is  always  dangerously  great  in  fly-In- 
fested quarters. — Exchange. 


PROTECTION    FROM    FLIES. 


It  is  hard  to  make  a  close  guess  as  to 
how  much  of  the  inevitable  decrease  in 
milk  flow  during  the  extremely  hot  sea- 
son is  due  to  the  discomfort  caused  by 
flies;  however,  no  dairyman  will  ques- 
tion the  statement  that  the  necessity 
for  fighting  these  pests  affects  to  some 
extent  at  least  the  work  of  every  cow 
in  the  herd.  So  generally  is  this  fact 
recognized  that  nearly  every  wide- 
awake dairyman  has,  at  one  time  or 
another,  given  the  matter  serious  con- 
sideration, and  no  doubt  employed  va- 
rious means  calculated  to  reduce  the 
annoyance  and  loss.  Of  course  all 
realize  that  it  Is  impossible  to  afford 
their  animals  perfect  protection  from 
flies,  but  there  are  a  number  of  ways 
in  which  relief  of  a  fairly  satisfactory 
nature  can  be  given.  First,  the  use 
of  preparations  to  be  applied  with 
sprayer  or  atomizer  has  become  quite 


Distemper  in  Colts. — The  following 
tonic  usually  does  considerable  good : 
Thirty-five  pounds  of  oil  meal,  1% 
pounds  of  iron  sulphate,  nine  ounces 
of  nux  vomica,  four  ounces  of  pul- 
verized gentian  and  six  ounces  of  pul- 
verized ginger;  give  the  horse  2% 
ounces  of  this  mixture  three  time* 
daily  in  ground  feed.  Have  the  teeth 
examined  as  some  bad  teeth  may  need 
pulling  while  others  may  be  a  little 
sharp.

The  fact  that  dairy  cows  should  be 
ling  to  their  milk  production 
should  not  be  overlooked.  A  cow  ca- 
pable of  producing  fifty  pounds  of  milk 
.  will  require  n-.ore  than  tw'.ce  as 
much  feed  as  a  cow  giving  only  ten 
pounds  of  milk  a  day.  This  point  can- 
not be  too  strongly  emphasized  Grain 
feed  should  not  usually  compose  over 
half  the  weight  of  the  ration,  ranging 
from  that  to  nothing,  according  to  the 
character  of  the  roughage  available 
and  the  amount  of  milk  given  by  the 
cow-.  In  general  it  is  a  safe  rule  to 
feel  liberally  on  good  roughage  and 
vary  the  grain  portion  to  suit  the  re- 
quirements of  the  individual.  The  far- 
mer should,  as  a  rule,  aim  to  raise 
the  greater  portion  of  the  feed  for  his 
stock  upon   the   farm. 

Since  rough  feed  is  usually  much 
cheaper  than  grain,  too  much  impor- 
tance cannot  be  attached  to  securing 
hay  and  fodder  in  the  best  possible 
condition.  If  hay  is  unduly  exposed  to 
dew-  and  rain  during  the  time  of  cur- 
ing it  loses  much,  both  in  nutrition  and 
palatability.  It  is  also  important  that 
hay  and  fodder  be  cut  at  the  proper 
stage  before  becoming  too  ripe  and 
the  stems  woody. 

When  cows  have  luxuriant  pasture 
during  late  spring,  before  the  heat  be- 
s  excessive  or  the  flies  trouble- 
some, the  conditions  are  nearly  ideal 
for  dairy  cows.  The  nearer  we  ap- 
proach these  conditions  the  year  around 
the  better  the  milk  production.  It  is, 
therefore,  essential  to  the  best  yields 
and  most  economical  results  that  suc- 
culent food  be  provided  for  cows  dur- 
ing the  winter  months. 

There  are  two  ways  of  providing  this 
succulent  food — by  silage  and  by  root 
crops.  My  comparing  the  results  ob- 
tained at  several  different  experiment 
stations  it  is  found  that  corn  yields 
about  twice  as  much  nutriment  per 
acre  as  do  root  crops.  Since  roots  re- 
quire much  more  hand  labor,  which  is 
so  expensive  in  this  country,  it  is  more 
iraical  for  the  corn-belt  farmer  to 
get  his  succulent  food  during  winter 
from  corn  silage  than  from  root  crops. 

Silage  is  essentially  valuable  on 
farms  or  in  communities  where  rough 
feed  is  scarce,  for  more  stock  can  be 
kept  on  a  given  area  of  land  where 
the    crops    are    made    into    silage    than

in  any  other  way  with  the  same 
amount  of  labor  expended.  No  farmer 
with  ten  or  more  cows  can  afford  to  be 
without  a  silo. 

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

NODULE   DISEASE   OF   SHEEP. 


For  several  years  past  the  veterinary 
department  of  the  Louisiana  experi- 
ment station  has  been  conducting  ex- 
periments in  connection  with  nodul? 
disease  of  sheep,  a  parasitic  ailment 
which  seems  to  be  quite  general  over 
the  entire  country,  with  a  view  of 
ascertaining  some  practical  method  by 
which  infection  might  be  eliminated 
from  pastures.  It  has  long  been  known 
that  the  pasture  is  the  chief  source  of 
infection   of  this   disease. 

The  Louisiana  experiment  station  at- 
tempted to  keep  the  lambs  free  from 
the  disease  until  they  were  weaneel, 
and  in  looking  about,  hit  upon  the  plan 
of  a  "bare-lot"  method,  in  which  the 
ewes  were  fed  soiling  crops  and  the 
lambs  given  only  their  mothers*  milk, 
possibly  supplemented  with  a  little 
green  or  grain  food.  It  was  found  by 
this  method  that  practically  all  the 
lambs  could  be  brought  to  weaning  age 
without  infection,  at  which  -time  they 
could  be  turned  onto  clean  pastures 
without  further   danger  of  infection. 

From,  the  results  of  the  experiment 
the  station  feels  justified  in  making 
the  following  deductions: 

1.  That  by  the  bare-lot  method  it  is 
possible  to  raise  lambs  up  to  the  period 
of  weaning  and  without  separating 
them  from  their  affected  mothers,  prac- 
tically free  from  nodule  disease  of  the 
intestines. 

2.  That  in  the  absence  of  intestinal 
parasites,  other  than  the  nodule  disease 
worm,  lambs  intended  for  feeding  for 
the  early  or  other  markets  may  be 
raised  in  this  way  without  their  health 
being  impaired  or  their  general  condi- 
tion affected  by  the  disease 

3.  That  in  the  case  of  ewe  iambs  to 
be  kept  for  breeding  purposes,  and 
which  may  have  become  only  slightly 
infected,  there  is  the  possibility,  owing 
to  the  life-history  of  the  parasite,  as 
given  by  helminthologists  (those  who 
make  a  special  study  of  worms),  of 
auto-infestation  and  subsequent  infec- 
tion of  clean  pastures  on  which  the 
lambs  may  have  been  placed. 

4.  That,  although  the  previous  de- 
duction as  to  such  possibility  may  be 
correct,  there  can  hardly  be  any  ques- 
tion as  to  the  great  reduction  in  the 
primary  infectation  by  the  bare  -lot 
method,  as  compared  to  that  brought 
about  where  the  lambs  are  permitted 
to  graze  on  pasture  infested  through 
the  droppings  of  their  diseased  moth- 
ers. 

5.  That  the  method  is  so  simple  and 
is  so  free  from  technicalities  that  any 
flockmaster  who  will  take  the  trouble 
to  observe  ordinary  care  as  to  the  few 
details  can  obtain  at  least  fair  results 
from  its  adoption. 

6.  That  with  the  supply  of  some 
good  vermifuge  mixture  to  which  the 
sheep  can  have  free  access  at  all  times, 
in  conjunction  with  the  method,  more 
satisfactory  results  might  be  looked  for 
than  was  even  obtained  in  our  experi- 
ment. 

7.  That  when  the  lot  becomes  in- 
fected with  other  intestinal  parasites, 
such  ms  stomach  and  tape  worms,  etc.. 
the  method  alone  will  not  prevent  in- 
festation of  the  lambs  by  such  para- 
sites 

8.  That  the  method  is  worthy  of  trial 
by  i!  ii  kmasters  owning  breeding  ewes

STOCK    FARMING. 


Live  stock  husbandry  not  only  re- 
lieves the  farmer  largely  ot  dependence 
on  hired  help,  but  offers  special  m- 
aucements  in  reasonably  large  profits. 
!per  acre  cultivated  fields  may  return 
larger  revenue  than  animal  husbandry, 
Lt  the  expense  of  cultivation  is  great 
in<3  the  risk  is  precarious.  The  former 
regime  exhausts  fertility,  while  the  lat- 
;er    increases    the    productivity    of   the 

soil.  , .        ,      „ 

I  Live  stock  farming  is  an  adjunct  of 
hriftiness  and  associated  with  agri- 
ultural  prosperity.  While  the   pioneer 

nay  be  compelled  to  draw  on  nature's 
-esources  for  a  few  years  by  raising 
.vheat,  corn  or  flax  as  a  commercial 
top,  if  he  is  an  intelligent,  progres- 
sive farmer  he  naturally  anticipates  a 
hinge  of  system  to  stock  husbandry. 
I  Nature  has  for  centuries  gathered 
fertilizing  properties  and  stored  them 
n  the  soil  to  produce  the  necessities 
'or  the  maintenance  of  life,  and  no- 
Lvhere  are  greater  natural  resources 
nassed  than  in  the  rich  lands  of  the 
West.  Grass  grows  in  pristine  luxur- 
ance  and  cattle,  sheep,  horses  and  hogs 
nature  rapidly  on  the  nutritious  pas- 
ures. 

II  There  is  a  great  advantage  in  rais- 
ng  live  stock  in  that  it  requires  less 
lelp  on  the  farm  and  the  husbandman 
,oon  becomes  forehanded,  because  he 
ilways  has  stock  ready  to  market. 

D  Live    stock    possesses    many    advan- 
ages  in  rotation  farming,  inasmuch  as 
he  live  stock  industry  utilizes  a  vari- 
ety of   crops.     Animals   are   nominally 
living      machines     that     consume     the 
.roducts    of    the    farm    and    transform 
nto  gold  the  roughage  that  otherwise 
vould  be  wasted.    Stock  farming,  when 
.perated    in    conjunction    with    a    crop 
otation    system,    increases    the    aver- 
ge  yield  of  various  crops  and  broadens 
llhe  capacity  of  live  stock  husbandry. 
Eve    stock    naturally    safeguards    the 
■allure  to  cultivated  crops  and  insures 
'he   farmer  a   steady  income. 
There  is  no  danger  of  overdoing  the 
idustry,  as  statistics  demonstrate  that 
opulation    normally    increases    faster 
han  live  stock  husbandry.     Consump- 
ive    demand    for    live    stock    products 
nil    broaden    faster    than    production, 
isuring    stable    prosperity    to    the    in- 
i     ustry. 

In  the  Southwestern  states  feed  can 
\  e'prbduced  in" abundance  at  compara- 
vely  little  cost,  making  animal  hus- 
and'ry  a  safe  and  profitable  industry. 
7ith  the  best  market  in  the  world  eas- 
y  accessible  farmers  should  raise 
lore  live  stock  of  the  best  commer- 
iar'types.  The  better  quality  outsells 
re  low  grades  30  to  50  per  cent,  and 
he  breeders  and  finishers  of  the  bet-. 
Lr  class  of  stock  seldom  have  occasion 
It  criticize  the  market. 


THE  SWITCHING  TAIL. 

One  of  the  troubles  of  the  milker  is 
le  frequency  with  which  the  cow 
vitches  her  tail  into  one's  face  or 
locks  one's  hat  off.  There  are  several 
mple  devices  to  overcome  this  and 
le  of  the  best  is  by  arranging  a  length 
!  wire  about  three  feet  back  of  the 
limal  stretching  it  from  one  post  to 
lother.  Before  fastening  the  one  end 
ke  a  lath  and  after  boring  a  hole  in 
I  run  the  wire  through  it.  On  the 
her  end  of  the  lath  fasten  an  eight - 
ch  pieec  of  barrel  hoop,  fastening  the 
wer  end  to  the  lath  with  nails  and 
ilding  the  upper  end  in  place  with 
ring.  Before  milking  take  the  cow's 
,il  and  draw  the  hairy  bunch  'through 
e  loop.  She  will  be  unable  to  move 
and  after  a  few  trials  will  give  it 
)  and  stand  still. 


An    English    dairy    writer    gives    the 

flowing  unique  method  of  ascertain- 

%  as  to  whether  or  not  a  cow  is  with 

lft:  "The  cow  to  be  tested  is  milked 

>      parately    and    as    soon     as     possible 

ter  the  milk  is  drawn  we  dip  a  straw 

*$        timothy  stem  in  the  bucket  of  milk. 

ive   a   glass   of   pure   water   at   hand 

id  allow  one  drop  of  the  milk  to  fall 

the    water — only    one;    if    the    milk 

lickly   dissipates     and     renders     the 

.ter  murky,  the  cow  is  not  in  calf, 

it  if  the  milk  drop  sinks  to  the  bot- 

m   of   the   glass   before   mixing   with 

e  water,  she  is  pregnant.     If  you  are 

t  sufficiently  expert  take  the  milk  of 

ther    cow    that    has    newly    calved, 

d  pursue   Wie    same    treatment   with 

th   at   the    same    time   and   you   will 

t  fail  to   note   the   difference   in   the 

ly   the    drop   of   milk   will    mix   with 

3  water.       I     have     practiced     this 

thod    of    determining    pregnancy    in 

r    herd    for    years    and    have    never 

own  it  to   fail."      This   is   simplicity 

elf,  and  it  won't  cost  much  to  try  it.

L:  O.  BALDWIN,  Trainer  and  Driver, 
18  Grant  Avenue, 

Glens  Falls,  N.  Y.,  Jan.  3, 1905. 
You  have  not  asked  for  any  testimonial  from  roe.  but  I  feel  that  it  Is  only  fair  to  tell  you  what 
your  great  remedy  has  done  for  me.  My  son  had  and  still  has  a  very  fine  mare  by  Baron  Wilkes,  and 
herdam  was  Hattie  Ide  by  Gllly.  He  bought  her  unbroken  and  started' to  lead  her  home,  and  had 
not  gone  half  a  mile  when  she  went  lame.  She  had  two  spavins;  he  called  a  veterinary.  She  got 
better  of  her  lameness  and  I  went  to  breaking  her  to  drive,  and  she  went  lame  on  the  other  side.  We 
stopped  andhad  her  Bred  and  blistered  In  both  spav'ns.  Rested  her  six  months  and  commenced  to 
drive  her  again  and  she  went  lame.  I  had  tb.it  leg  fired  again  and  gave  her  the  usual  rest,  and  she 
went  lame  as  soon  as  we  bsgan  to  u^e  her  I  saw  your  advertisement  and  wrote  for  a  bottle  and  used 
lt  as  thedlrectlonssaid.  We  commenced  to  drive  her  and  she  stood  the  test.  We  trained  her; 
worued  her  twice  a  week,  mile  and  repaat,  and  we  are  still  driving  her,  and  she  goes  as  sound  as 
any  horse  can     If  any  one  will  use  It  according  to  directions  it  will  cure,  and  no  mistake.

THE  FIRST  VOLUME  of  the  Proceedings  of  the 
American  Breeders'  Association  has  been  received 
from  +he  secretary,  Prof.  W.  M.  Hays,  "Washington, 
D.  C.  It  is  a  book  of  about  250  pages  and  contains 
the  proceedings  of  the  first  meeting  of  this  organiza- 
tion held  ac  St.  Louis  in  1903,  and  of  the  second  meet- 
ing held  at  Champaign,  Illinois,  last  February.  In

Prof.  W.  E.  Castle  of  Harvard  University,  A.  J.  Glover, 
associate  editor  of  Hoard's  Dairyman,  Luther  Bur- 
hank  of  Santa  Rosa,  Prof.  Sandsten  of  the  University

United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  many 
other  noted  writers.  The  American  Breeders'  Asso- 
ciation should  have  a  very  large  membership  and

the  Iowa  stallion  went  in  for  blood  and  succeeded  in 
nosing  out  Bolivar  in  2:07%. 

For  the  fifth  and  deciding  heat  the  two  favorites 
went  down  to  the  quarter  in  31  seconds  and  to  the 
half  mile  in  1:02%,  but  this  so  intensified  their  leg 
weariness  that  Red  King  had  no  trouble  in  coming 
on  from  behind  and  winning  the  heat  easily  in  2:09%. 
Curry  saving  his  horse  at  the  finish  when  he  saw  who 
was  beating  him,  as  it  did  not  affect  his  position  in  the 
race. 

In  the  2:23  trot,  there  were  seven  starters,  Belfast 
being  the  favorite,  but  the  California  mare.  Lady 
Mowry  by  McKinney.  dam  by  Nutwood  "Wilkes,  only 
permitted  him  to  get  one  heat.  Cecil  won  the  first, 
second  and  fourth  heats  with  the  mare,  the  time  of  the 
four  heats  being  2:14%,  2:13%,  2:12*  and  2:12%,  a 
corking  good  race  and  one  that  shows  Lady  Mowry 
to  be  a  mare  of  much  class.  She  is  a  four-year-old 
and  is  the  property  of  Mr.  J.  C  Mowry  of  Irvington.

was  third  in  the  first  heat  of  this  race,  but  caught  the 
flag  in  the  second  heat. 


THE  SOUTHERN  CALIFORNIA  CIRCUIT  offers 
many  inducements  for  the  owners  and  trainers  of 
harness  horses  to  race  for  good  purses  at  the  close 
of  the  season.  Entries  will  not  close  until  Tuesday, 
October  24th,  giving  owner  plenty  of  time  to  ascer- 
tain just  how  good  their  horses  are  before  entering 
them.  The  purses  aggregate  $17,200. and  are  arranged 
for  all  classes  of  trotters  and  pacers.  The  Grand 
Southern  Fall  Circuit,  as  it  is  called,  comprises  three 
mile  tracks.  At  San  Bernardino  and  Santa  Ana  the 
purses  are  5600  each,  and  at  Los  Angeles  $1000  each. 
But  six  entries  are  required  to  fill  and  four  to  start. 
Records  made  after  tomorrow,  October  1st,  are  no 
bar.  The. Los  Angeles  track  is  in  fine  shape  and  as 
a  big  meeting  will  be  given  there  nest  June,  it  will 
be  just  the  place  to  winter  horses.  Low  freight  rates 
can  be  had  for  carloads  of  horses  sent  from  all  points 
in  central  and  northern  California.  Make  your  en- 
tries in  time. 


HALF  MILE  TRACKS  only  take  half  the  water 
required  to  put  a  mile  track  in  shape.  In  the  dry 
climate  of  California,  water  is  a  very  expensive  article 
in  the  interior  of  the  State.  Horsemen  who  visit 
Ukiah  next  week  will  have  are  opportunity  to  see  one 
of  the  best  half  mile  tracks  in  California  and  they 
will  find,  if  they  drive  over  it,  that  horses  will  show 
their  speed  there  about  as  well  as  they  will  over 
many  of  the  mile  tracks  in  this  State.  The  Ukiah 
track  is  kept  at  about  half  the  expense  necessary  to 
keep  a  mile   track  in  order. 


CAL1FORNIANS    WIN    AT    LIBERTYV1 LLE. 


The  $5000  stake  for  2:14  pacers  at  the  Libertyville, 
Illinois  track  on  Friday  of  last  week  proved  the  best 
contest  of  the  meeting.  Through  the  application  of 
the  rule  terminating  the  race  at  the  end  cf  five  heats, 
Bolivar  carried  off  first  honors,  but  only  won  two  of 
the  five  heats.  Echo  Jr.  two.  and  Red  King  the  fifth. 

Echo  Jr.  sold  favorite  in  the  pools,  with  Dorris  B. 
second  choice,  and  Bolivar  grouped  with  the  field. 
Doris  B.  was  not  herself,  however,  and  after  the  great 
filly  ha3  gone  four  heats,  in  which  she  showed  remark- 
able speed  in  spots  only,  she  was  drawn. 

Echo  Jr.  won  the  first  heat  in  2:07%  in  a  terrific 
finish  with  Bolivar  responding  to  the  gad  in  great 
style.  The  tables,  however,  were  reversed  in  the  sec- 
ond heat,  when  Bolivar  outpaced  the  stud,  finishing 
the  mile  in  2:06V4.  the  fastest  mile  ever  paced  in  a 
race  on  the  Libertyville  track 

The  third  heat  was  all  Bolivar's  in.  2:  07%,  with  Ed 
C,  who  had  won  his  race  in  fine  style  the  day  before, 
a  good  second,  and  Echo  Jr.  laid  up.     The  next  heat 


rOOF    BEATS. 


ALL    RECORDS    BROKEN. 


The  most  stupendous  entry  list  in  the  history  of 
harness  racing  has  been  received  by  Secretary  Horace 
WTilson  of  the  Kentucky  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' 
Association  for  the  big  Lexington  meeting  of  October 
3-14  next.  Three  hundred  and  seventy-four  horses 
have  been  named  in  twenty  purses  closed  this  week, 
which,  added  to  those  kept  in  the  stakes,  brings  the 
total  entry  up  to  62S,  and  breaks  the  record  for  entries 
on  American  trotting  tracks,  established  by  the  Lex- 
ington Association  in  1S9S  by  nearly  one  hundred. 

In  the  rich  Kentucky  Futurity  twenty  three-year- 
olds  remain  eligible,  including  Bon  Voyage  2:12%, 
Katherine  L.  2:12*4,  Susie  N.  2:13%,  Evania,  Elm- 
ford,  The  Phantom,  Miss  Adbell,  Kaldar  and  other 
highly  tried  stake  colts.  The  1905  Futurity  promises 
to  rival  the  1904  event  in  interest. 

In  the  Pacing  Futurity  for  three-year-olds,  eleven 
of  the  original  thirteen  remain.  In  the  two-year-old 
Futurity,  twenty-one  have  been  kept  eligible.  A 
number  of  these  have  already  raced  successfully  and 
the  field   is   very  classy. 

In  the  famous  Transylvania  Stake,  the  annual 
championship,  fourteen  starters  are  named  as  fol- 
lows: Ethel's  Pride  2:07%,  Glenwood  M.  2:0S%.  Kid 
Shay  2:08%,  John  Caldwell  2:09,  Bell  C  2:09%,  Tur- 
ley  2:09%.  Mainland  2:09%,  Deleree  2.09%,  Bonner 
2:10,  Pat  Ford  2:10,  Morn  2:09%.  Angle  2:11.  Miss 
In  Law  and  Lady  Pauline  C.  Since  the  death  of 
Sadie  Mac,  Ethel's  Pride  will  likely  be  the  post  favor- 
ite, but  .the  field  includes  the  pick  of  the  season's 
campaigners  in  East  and  West,  and  the  Transylvania 
is  not   a  favorite's  race. 

In  the  rich  pacing  stake,  the  Tennessee,  the  re- 
markable number  of  twenty-four  horses  are  named, 
the  largest  field  in  its  history.  Walter  Direct  2:04%, 
The  Friend  2:05%.  Don  Carr  2:06,  Peruna  2:06%, 
Maud  Keswick  2.06%,  are  prominent. 

In  the  2:06  trot  is  a  brilliant  field  made  up  of 
George  G.  2:05%,  Dr.  Strong  2:06,  McKinley  2:06%. 
"Wetnworth  2:06%,  Snyder  McGregor  2:06%,  and  Nor- 
man  B.   2:06%. 

In  the  great  2 :  04  pace  twelve  noted  pacers  are 
named,  including  The  Broncho  2:03%,  the  champion 
pacing  mare;  Nervolo  2:04%.  Baron  Grattan  2.04%, 
Major  C.  2.04,  Belle  Mc  2:04%,  Locanda  2:03%, 
Nathan  Straus  2:04%,  Pan  Michael  2:05,  Winfield 
Stratton  2:05,  Frank  Tokum  2:05%,  Hazel  Patch 
2:05%,  Black  Hal  2:05%  and  Cherry  Lass  2.06%. 

The  other  purses  filled  as  follows:  2:0S  trot,  10 
entries:  2:10  trot.  22;  2:12  trot,  12;  2:14  trot,  22; 
2:16  trot,  25;  2:18  trot,  41;  2:20  trot,  23;  2.25  trot, 
24;  2:06  pace,  19;  2:08  pace,  2S;  2:09  pace,  21;  2:10 
pace,  25;  2 :  12  pace,  15 ;  2 :  14  pace,  16 ;  2 :  15  pace, 
18;   2.20  pace,  18. 

The  death  of  Sadie  Mac  and  the  retirement  of  Tiv- 
erton has  killed  the  big  special  race  which  Secretary 
Wilson  was  trying  to  arrange,  but  it  is  possible  that 
a  special  between  Sweet  Marie,  Dr  Strong  and  Wrent- 
worth  may  be  arranged  between  their  respective 
owners,  as  the  latter  two  feel  quite  confident  of  hold- 
ing their  own  with  the  racing  champion  in  a  3-in-5 
race. — Kentucky  Stock  Farm. 


SONOMA    COUNTY    DRIVING    CLUB. 


-  The  recently  organized  Sonoma  County  Driving 
Club  will  hold  a  regular  race  meeting  on  the  after- 
noon of  Thursday.  October  12th,  and  has  issued  l» 
program  for  that  day  providing  for  four  races.  The 
classes  are  the  2.12  trot.  2:25  pace,  and  a  mixed  race 
for  trotters  or  pacers  of  the  2:17  class  and  a  road- 
ster race.  The  three  first  named  races  are  open  to 
all,  but  the  roadster  race  is  only  for  horses  owned 
by  members  of  the  club.  Entries  close  Monday. 
October  9th,  three  days  before  the  meeting,  and  the 
entrance  fee  is  $5  for  each  race.  The  total  amount 
of  receipts  from  all  sources  will  be  divided  into  four 
equal  purses  for  these  events,  less  ten  per  cent  re- 
tained by  the  club  for  expenses. 

Pools  will  be  sold  on  a!l  these  races,  and  if  anycne 
desires  to  start  a  horse  against  time  for  a  record 
they  can  do  so  by  paying  a  fee  of  five  dollars  and 
making  entry  before  7  o'clock  p.  m..  the  day  pre- 
ceding the  race.  All  'records  made  at  this  meeting 
w'U  stand  as  the  Sonoma  Driving  Club  is  a  member 
of  the  National  Trotting  Association. 
o 


Among  the  trainers  who  have  been  racing  their 
horses  at  the  Hollister  meeting  this  week  are  Dan 
Misner,  Joseph  Cuicello,  Dan  Leiginger,  Farmer 
Bunch.  Chas.  Whitehead,  T.  J.  Ferguson.  Russell  Gray, 
Arthur  Neville,  T.  S.  Nuckols,  and  several  others. 
A  Complete  summary  of  the  harness  races  at  Hol- 
lister will  be  printed  next  week.  We  go  to  press  too 
early  to  get  more  than  :i   partial  report  this  week 


Quite    a    number    of   Eastern    horsemen    are    confi- 
dent that  Sadie  Mac  was  scored  to  death. 


The   Texas   State   Fair  has  offered   a  $10,000   purse 
for  a  race  between  Dan  Patch  and  Audobon  Boy. 


Ashland  Wilkes  leads  the  sires  of  new  performers' 
for  1905  up  to  date.    He  has  nine  to  his  credit. 


Expedition    2:15%    seems   to   be    the-  leading  son   of 
Electioneer  as  a  sire  of  new  performers  this  season. 


Yum  Yum,  Telephone  Central,  Hulabaloo  and  Buster 
Brown  all  started  in  races  at  Princeton^  111.,  recently. 


McKinney  has  three  new  2:15  trotters  this  year — ■ 
Adam  G.  2:11%,  Miss  Kinney  2:11%  and  Lady  Mowry 
2:12%. 


The  Bronco  2:03%  picked  up  a  nail  the  other  day, 
and  will  probably  be  retired  for  the  balance  of  the 
season. 


The  Ukiah  fair  and  race  meeting  opens  next  Mon- 
day and  continues  during  the  week.  Saturday  there 
will  be  three  good  harness  events. 


Boracic  acid  and  charcoal,  both  finely  powdered  and 
thoroughly  mixed,  is  an  excellent  thing  to  dust  into 
the  horse's  hoofs  to  keep  them  clean  and  free  from 
thrush. 


Russell  G.  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  took  a  matinee  wagon 
record  of  2:21  in  the  third  heat  of  a  winning  race  at 
Cleveland  last  week.  This  gelding  is  owned  by  Mr.  W. 
P.  Murray  of  Cleveland. 


Nutwood  leads  all  stallions  again  this  year  as  the 
sire  of  producing  dams.  No  less  than  nine  of  his 
daughters  have  new  standard  performers  to  their 
credit  since  January  1st. 


That  McKinney-Nutwood  Wilkes  cross  is  again  to 
the  front  as  usual.  At  Libertyville,  Illinois,  last  week, 
Lady  Mowry  by  McKinney,  dam  by  Nutwood  Wilkes, 
took  a  trotting  record  of  2:12%  in  the  fourth  heat  of 
a  winning  race. 


Robizola  2:12%,  one  of  the  fastest  and  best  bred 
mares  in  California  is  offered  for  sale.  Here  is  a 
mare  worth  buying  for  racing,  road  or  breeding  pur- 
poses. She  will  fill  all  requirements.  Read  the  ad- 
vertisement and  write  to  her  owner,  Dr.  J.  W.  Clark 
of  Santa  Rosa,  about  her. 


P.  W.  Hodges  and  I.  N.  Minor,  who  took  Lady  Zom- 
bro  and  Morosco  2.12  to  the  Grand  Circuit  have  met 
with  very  bad  luck:  both  horses  having  been  decided- 
'ly  off  and  not  able  to  start  for  the  past  six  weeks,  and 
consequently  entrance  money  is  beginning  to  pile  up 
pretty  heavily  against  them. 


Major  Delmar  trotted  the  fastest  mile  of  the  season 
at  Cleveland  September  19th.  when  he  went  to  beat 
2:05%  to  wagon.  He  made  the  mile  in  2:04.  and  the 
time  by  quarters  was  as  follows:  31%,  1:03,  1:32%, 
2:04.  The  same  day  Morning  Star  paced  a  mile  to 
wagon  in  2:03,  which  is  the  fastest  mile  paced  at  that 
hitch  this  year. 


John  A.  McKerron  2:04%  now  has  four  standard 
performers  to  his  credit.  Three  have  taken  records 
this  year — Jack  McKerron  (2)  2:27%,  dam  Ximenia, 
dam  of  Sunland  Belle  2:0S%  and  two  others,  by  Nut- 
wood; Irene  Mac  (2)  2:29%,  out  of  Irene  Wilton  2:18% 
by  Wilton,  and  Carrie  Mac  (3)  2:29%,  out  of  Carrie 
Onward  2:14%.  All  of  these  records  are  actual  race 
records  made  over  poor  half-mile  tracks  and  in  actual 
speed  contests.  It  shows  that  McKerron  is  to  win  dis- 
tinction as  a  successful  sire  just  as  he  has  done  as  a 
trotter. 


Two  good  mares  by  Chas.  Derby  2:20  are  offered 
for  sale  in  this  issue.  They  can  be  seen  at  the  Dexter 
Prince  Stables,  1509  Grove  street,  this  city,  where  in- 
spection is  invited.  Nannie  Derby,  the  five-year-old 
mare,  stands  16.2  and  weighs  1150  pounds.  She  is 
handsome  and  stylish  and  very  fast.  Has  paced  a 
half  better  than  one  minute  on  the  speedway.  Her 
only  fault  is  that  she  is  excitable  in  company.  The 
other  mare  is  four  years  old,  stands  15.3  and  is  an  ex- 
cellent road  mare.  Look  at  these  two  and  others  at 
the  Dexter  Prince  stables 


In  sj :  iie  of  the  fact  that  harness  racing  is  at  ;i  low- 
ebb  in  several  states  just  now  it  is  evident  that  a  first- 
class  trotter  will  bring  a  big  price  right  now  just  the 
same  as  has  been  the  case  for  years,  says  the  Horse 
"World.  Miss  Wilkes  could  have  taken  a  very  large 
sum  of  money  for  Sadie  Mac  almost  any  time  if  she 
would  have  considered  an  offer  for  that  mare  At 
Poughkeepsie  the  trotting  mare  Deloree,  that  took  a 
record  of  2:09%  there,  was  sold  for  $18,500.  It  is  also 
reported  from  a  creditable  source  that  an  offer  of 
$13,500  was  made  and  refused  for  the  three-year-old 
trotting  filly  Susie  X.  2:09%  by  Moko.  The  fact  that 
trotters  are  in  demand  at  such  values  is  proof  positive 
that  it  Is  not  generally  regarded  that  the  earnll 
pacity  of  the  trotters  will  be  lowered  to  the  point  that 
will  make  their  campaigning  unprofitable.  The  cru- 
sade against  betting  which  has  been  inaugurated  in 
several  states  will  run  its  course  like  .-ill  other  epi- 
demics and,  if  the  horsemen  act  wisely,  they  will 
eventually  secure  such  legislation  as  will  make  racing 
under  reasonable  restrictions  possible.  It  is  difficult 
to  arrive  at  any  other  conclusion  than  th!s,  and  while 
harness  racing  interests  in  several  states  may  be  se- 
riously handicapped  for  a  time,  they  will  finally  i 
such  treatment  as  the  wisdom  of  their  supporter 
cause  them   to  merit.

M  JOTTINGS. 


SECRETARY  ALBERT  LINDLEY  of  the  Califor- 
nia State  Agricultural  Socity  was  In  San  Francisco 
this  week  attending  to  matters  connected  with  that 
organization  and  made  a  short  call  at  the  office  of 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  Ii  is  very  easy  to  see 
that  Mr.  Lindley  is  an  enthusiast  in  regard  to  mak- 
ing the  California  State  Fair  one  of  the  big  annual 
of  the  West,  and  that  he  has  the  right  ideas 
as  to  the  aims  and  purposes  of  such  an  institution. 
He  believes  it  should  be  first  of  all  a  great  farmers' 
fruit  growers'  and"  live  stock  breeders  exposition. 
That  the  farmer*'  institutes,  the  fruit  growers'  as- 
sociations and  the  live  stock  breeders  organizations 
should  be  interested  in  the  State  Fair  and  that  it 
should  be  made  not  only  a  great  annual  industrial 
exposition  but  also  a  sort  of  school  of  insti'uction 
where  the  general  public  will  not  only  be  shown  the 
very  best  of  the  State's  products  every  year,  but  also 
instructed  as  to  why  one  exhibit  is  Detter  thai;  an- 
other and  why  the  best  is  the  most  profitable.  .  At 
the  last  session  of  the  California  Legislature  Secre- 
tary Lindley  was  instrumental  in  having  a  bill  in- 
trodvced  and  passed  which  requires  the  Boards  of 
County  Supervisors  to  make  a  report  to  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture  each  year  as  to  the  condition, 
resources  and  annual  products  of  the  several  coun- 
ties. These  reports  will  be  printed  with  the  regular 
annual  report  of  the  State  Board  and  will  be  very 
valuable  to  intending  settlers  in  the  State,  as  well  as 
to  al  who  desire  true  and  unt  iased  information  in 
regard  to  any  section  thereof.  Mr.  Lindley  believes 
the  next  annual  report  of  the  S  >ciety  will  be  one  of 
the  most  valuable  in  the  historj.-  of  the  organization. 


his  first  catalogue  printed  after  locating  in  California 
traced  to  this  old  mare  Fanny  Fern,  and  whenever  a 
fast  one  appears  on  the  circuit  that  traces  to  some 
of  his  stallions  or  mares,  it  is  an  even  bet  that  Fanny 
Fern  or  old  Mary  by  Flaxtail  will  be  reached  in  the 
pedigree  within   three   or  four  generations. 


"When  the  list  of  new  2:10  reformers  for  1905  is 
made  up  at  the  close  of  the  7ear  it  will  be  found 
that  California  horses  furnish  a  pretty  heavy  per- 
centage of  the  entire  number.  If  there  is  anything 
that  should  demonstrate  to  a  certainty  the  fact  that 
California  is  one  of  the  greatest  speed  breeding 
places  in  the  world,  it  is  that  in  recent  years  but  com- 
paratively few  California  bred  horses  are  taken  east 
and  raced  and  although  they  are  compelled  to  meet 
the  pick  of  all  the  other  breeding  and  training  cen- 
ters, they  manage  to  get  a  pretty  fair  proportion  of 
the  money  and  in  the  lists  of  fast  performers  always 
make  a  good  showing  at  the  end  of  the  season. 


track,  Sept.  27th,  1894.  He  won  the  race  for  year- 
ling trotters  August  17th  in  San  Francisco,  with  five 
starters,  time  2 :  2S  and  the  race  for  yearlings  at 
Woodland  August  27th,  time  2:26,  with  three  start- 
ers. He  died  last  year  in  the  East.  He  was  by 
Advertiser   out  of  Beautiful   Bells. 


ANOTHER     TWO     MINUTE     PACER. 


The  fourth  pacer  to  get  into  the  two  minute  circle 
is  Audubon  Boy  and  his  record  was  made  at  Read- 
ville,  Mass.,  on  Friday  last,  September  22nd.  Dan 
Patch  1:56,  Star  Pointer  1:59%  and  Prince  Alert 
1:59%  are  the  three  that  entered  this  exclusive  list 
before  him,  but  those  who  saw  the  son  of  J.  J. 
Audubon  accomplish  the  feat  of  pacing  a  mile  in- 
side of  two  minutes  believe  that  he  is  a  rival  of  the 
great  Dan  Patch  as  the  mile  was  made  without  a 
runner  or  a  wind  shield  in   front  of  the  horse. 

Audubon  Boy's  time  just  equals  the  record  of 
1:59%  made  by  Star  Pointer  seven  years  ago.  The 
press  dispatch  gives  the  following  particulars: 

Audubon  Boy  started  to  beat  2:00%.  The  weather 
conditions  favored  record  time.  The  assistance  of  a 
pacemaker  was  useless,  Audubon  Boy  having  dis- 
tanced his  pacemaker  before  the  half-mile  post  was 
reached.  In  making  the  trial  for  the  record,  James 
Y.  Gatcomb,  owner  of  the  chesnut  stallion,  refused 
to  use  a  wind  shield  or  to  have  a  running  horse  draw 
a  cart  with  canvas  attached  between  the  wheels  in 
the  lead,  preferring  to  make  the  attempt  in  the  same 
way  that  Star  Pointer  gained  the  world's  record  of 
1:59%  at  the  Readville  track  seven  years  ago.  This 
is  the  present  record  with  the  runner  or  pacemaker 
going  at  one  side.  Dan  Patch,  in  1902,  paced  a  niile 
in  Readville  in  1:59%  under  similar  conditions,  but 
as  he  went  to  beat  that  time  it  was  recorded  as  a 
losing  performance.  Since  then  Dan  Patch  has  gain- 
ed a  record  of  1:56,  but  this  mark  wras  made  with 
a  running  horse  in  the  lead. 

It  was  a  little  after  4  o'clock  when  Audubon  Boy 
tried  for  the  record.  The  first  quarter  was  made  in 
0:29  and  the  next  in  0:28%.  making  the  time  for  the

2:25    trot,    $200— Ritchie    Baron,    by    Baron    Wilkes, 


A  match  race  for  $500  a  side  has  been  made  to 
come  off  over  the  Alameda  track  on  Sunday,  Octo- 
ber 15th  betwen  two  trotters,  and  from  the  interest 
that  has  been  aroused  in  these  Sunday  contests  re- 
cently it  is  safe  to  predict  that  two  or  three  thou- 
sand people  will  turn  out  to  see  the  sport.  Mr. 
Grondola's  mare  Daisy  May,  trained  by  the  veteran 
Hines,  has  been  meeting  and  vanquishing  about  every 
road  trotter  in  Alameda  county  during  the  past  few 
months  and  the  country  has  been  scoured  to  find  a 
trotter  that  could  take  her  measure.  Mr.  Scott,  the 
well  known  contractor  of  Oakland,  has  finally  found 
a  horse  that  he  thinks  can  do  the  trick  and  has  put 
up  $250  forfeit  in  the  hands  of  William  Wheeler.  He 
has  named  the  chestnut  trotter  Faust  by  Aptos 
Wilkes  that  was  on  the  circuit  in  1902  and  failed  to 
win  a  heat.  Faust  is  the  same  horse  that  kicked 
and  killed  Pat  McCartney  at  Salinas  some  years  ago 
and  is  a  gelding  about  ten  or  eleven  years  old.  In 
1892  Farmer  Bunch  campaiged  Faust  and  started 
him  in  seven  races.  He  got  some  of  the  money  in 
most  of  his  races  but  did  not  succeed  in  getting  a 
heat  or  a  record.  The  races  in  which  he  started  were 
won  in  from  2:18  to  2.23  and  he  was  generally  third 
or  fourth  horse.  Rio  Vista  George  was  following  the 
circuit  that  year  trying  to  pick  the  winners  and 
often  worked  Faust  out  a  few  heats  for  the  Farmer. 
If  I  remember  right  he  drove  the  gelding  a  mile  in 
2 :  19  at  Napa  one  morning,  at  least  that  was  the 
time  the  boys  assured  him  the  horse  made,  although 
it  was  reported  on  the  quiet  that  2:25  was  nearer  the 
correct  time.  The  match  between  Faust  and  Daisy 
May  Is  to  be  mile  heats,  best  three  in  five,  and  it  has 
been  agreed  that  the  winner  must  give  the  loser  a 
return  match  for  the  same  amount,  within  two 
weeks  from  date  of  first  race.  This  race  will  be  two 
mile  heats,  best  two  in  three.  Both  events  are  the 
talk  of  "horse  circles"  in  Alameda  county  at  the 
present   time.

crowd  cheered.  The  third  quarter  was  reached  in 
1:27%,  but  before  this  it  was  seen  that  whatever  the 
time  of  the  mile  Audubon  Boy  would  have  to  make 
it  entirely,  unassisted,  the  pacemaker  then  being  100 
yards  in  the  rear.  Gatcomb  did  not  make  a  stirring 
drive  at  the  finish  and  was  0:31%  coming  to  the  wire, 
making  the  time  for  the  mile  1:59%,  just  equaling 
Star  Pointer's  time,  and  giving  Audubon  Boy  that 
mark,  inasmuch  as  his  attempt  was  for  the  purpose 
of  beating  2:00%. 

Audubon  Boy  is  a  chestnut  horse,  foaled  1S97  and 
took  a  record  of  2:03%  in  1902,  when  he  was  the 
heaviest  money  winning  pacer  of  the  year,  his  win- 
nings  amounting  to   over   $25,000. 

His  sire  J.  J.  Audubon  2:19  is  by  Alcyone  2:37, 
sire  of  McKinney,  out  of  Dolly  Pomeroy  a  producing 
mare  by  Highland  Grey  824,  a  horse  carrying  the 
blood  of  Black  Hawk  5  and  Hambletonian  2.  The

dam  also  of  Royal  R.  Sheldon  2:04%  and  Red  Kim

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

Mambrino   Russell,   second   dam  by   Geo.   "Wilkes. 


Three  new  2:10  trotters  in  one  race  is  pretty  close 
to  the  record.  Pat  Ford,  Belle  C.  and  Tom  Miller,  Jr., 
went  in  at  Galesburg  in  the  six  heat  2:15  trot. 


It  is  claimed  there  were  100,000  people  on  the 
grounds  of  the  Michigan  State  Fair  on  Septem- 
ber  14th. 


Kalkar,  the  Kremlin  three-year-old  who  raced  at 
Readville,  trotted  the  middle  half  of  the  first  mile  in 
1:03%  and  was  timed  in  2:12%  in  the  second.  John 
Young  has  turned  him  over  to  Geers,  who  will  drive 
him  in  the  Kentucky  Futurity. 


Sally  Pointer  by  Sky  Pointer  and  of  Sister  by  Mc- 
Kinney,  second  dam  Aileen  by  Anteeo,  third  dam  Lou 
Milton,  the  dam  of  Lou  Dillon,  has  reduced  her  re- 
cord to  2:11. 


Erne  Powers  2:08%,  the  pacing  mare  that  is  so  old 
and  has  been  racing  so  long  that  they  call  her 
"Auntie,"  was  separately  timed  in  2:06%  in  her  first 
start  at  Hamline  this  year.  She  was  foaled  in 
1890. 


Colonel  Delmar,  2:18%,  that  has  been  winning 
races  in  New  England,  is  a  brother  in  blood  to  Major 
Delmar,  1.59%.  Both  were  sired  by  Del  Mar,  2:16%,

Two  Stinks  and  Swallow  Bird  dropped  out  of  the 
race  in  the  second  and  third  rounds,  the  former  hav-

Bruce  Sieberts,  a  horse  raiser  on  thfc  Cheyenne 
river  in  South  Dakota,  has  just  closed  out  his  entire 
herd,  putting  in  500  horses  at  an  average  price  of 
$28  a  head  for  animals  of  all  classes. 


In  publishing  the  list  of  third  payments  in  Futurity 
Stake  No.  5  last  week  the  following  were  omitted: 
Brown  colt  Lookout  by  Searchlight,  dam  Bee  by

The  Billings  horses  have  been  returned  to  Glen- 
ville,  where  they  will  be  seen  in  the  regular  matinees 
of  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club  until  the  end  of  the 
season.  Doc  Tanner  will  begin  early  to  get  them 
ready  for  the  Old  Glory  sale  in  November. 


Zombro  2.11,  owned  by  Geo.  T.  Beckers,  won  first

by  Zombro.  owned  by  T.  D.  Condon,  was  second, 
and  Nocturno,  owned  by  G.  A.  Westgate,  was  third. 


W.  H.  Morris  of  Santa  Rosa,  has  sold  his  fine 
roadster  Clipper  W.  2:24%  by  Lynwood  W.,  to  Mr. 
Kirkpatrick,  a  wealthy  lumber  dealer  of  New  York 
who  has  been  visiting  this  State  during  the  past 
month.  Clipper  W.  is  a  trotter  and  much  faster  than 
his  record  which  was  made^  at  Santa  Rosa  this  year. 
His  dam  is  Thetis  a  mare*  by  Robin,  sire  of  Roblet 
2.12  and  Robizola  2:12%. 


Bonnie  Mc  is  trotting  in  hard  luck  in  the  three 
year  old  events  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  She  has  start- 
ed twice,  and  in  both  races  has  been  distanced  the 
first  heat  through  breaks  made  just  after  getting 
the  word.  This  filly  bas  worked  several  miles  bet- 
ter than   2:15  and  has  two  minute  speed. 


At  the  Park  County  Fair,  Livingston,  Montana, 
the  pacer  Jib  reduced  his  record  from  2:12  to  2:10 
in  a  race  In  which  he  defeated  the  mare  Alpha  W. 
by  Judge  Norval.  Jib  is  by  Senator  21305,  a  son  of 
Echo,  bred  by  J.  B.  Haggin  at  Rancho  del  Paso.  At 
the  Bozeman  meeting  Alpha  W.  defeated  Jib  and 
paced  a  heat  of  2:10%.  This  is  pretty  fast  pacing 
for  Montana, 


Next  Saturday  will  be  Sonoma  county  day  at  the 
Ukiah  race  meeting,  and  three  trotting  and  pacing 
events  will  be  on  the  program.  There  will  be  a 
race  of  half  mile  heats,  best  three  in  five,  in  which 
Robizola  2 :  12  %,  R.  W.  P.,  and  several  other  fast 
trotters  will  start.  Last  year  over  the  Ukiah  track 
Ole  by  Silas  Skinner  set  the  California  trotting  race 
record  for  a  half  mile  track  at  1:05%  and  it  is 
thought  this  record  will  be  lowered  next  Saturday 
over  the   same   track. 


Susie  N.  2:09%  seems  to  be  headed  for  that  $20,- 
000  Kentucky  Futurity,  but  Katherine  L.,  Bon  Voy- 
age, Rosa  Bell  and  The  Phantom  will  make  it  quite 
interesting  for   the   fast   daughter  of  Moko. 

W.  W.  Mendenhall  has  sold  his  yearling  filly  May- 
time  by  Stam  B.  2:11%,  dam  Elsie  Downs,  to  Mrs. 
C.  F.  Bunch  of  Pleasanton.  The  sale  price  was 
$350. 


Helen  Norte  2:09%  is  Del  Norte's  second  2:10  per- 
former. Del  Norte  is  getting  speed  from  all  classes 
of  mares,  but  has  had   very  limited  opportunities. 


Dr.  Frasse  2:12%,  son  of  Iran  Alto  2:12%,  is  now 
owned  by  Mr.  J.  T.  Richards  of  Salt  Lake  City,  and 
is  not  a  back  number  by  any  means.  Dr.  Frasse 
started  in  the  free  for  all  trotting  events  at  the 
Bozeman  and  Park  County  Fairs,  Montana,  this 
month,  and  won  both  events.  At  Bozeman  the  best 
time  was  2.19  and  at  the  Park  County  Fair  the  fast- 
est heat  was  in  2:17.

ly that  Chas.  Whitehead  headed  the  list  of  "run- 
ning" drivers  on  the  California  circuit  this  year.  It 
should   have   read   "winning"    drivers. 


T.  P.  Schwartz  of  Woodland,  who  is  training  sev- 
eral thoroughbreds  at  Emeryville,  has  recently 
broken  to  harness  a  yearling  trotter  by  Marvi., 
Wilkes  (3)  2:18,  dam  Lucy  B.  2:17%  by  Alex  But- 
ton that  weighs  1107  pounds  without  a  particle  of 
coarseness  or  grossness  about  him.  The  colt  at- 
tracts much  attention  from  horsemen  who  predict 
great  things  from  him. 


Mr.  J.  S.  Bransford  of  Salt  Lake  City,  who  pur- 
chased the  pacer  Tom  Carneal  2:08%  at  Los  Angeles 
during  the  meeting  there  in  July,  also  bought  the 
pacer  Cavaliero  2:09%  by  Stanton  Wilkes  at  the 
same  time.  Mr.  Bransford  will  use  both  horses  on 
the  road. 


The  whole  fuss  over  the  seling  of  pools  at  Cleve- 
land, is  said  to  have  been  politics.  At  the  other 
places  in  the  state  where  races  are  being  held  this 
year  betting   on   the   results   is   being  done   as  usual. 


Sweet  Marie  will  probably  go  a  mile  against  her 
own  record  of  2:04%  at  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  in 
November  and  if  she  reaches  home  in  fair  shape  the 
fastest  mile  ever  trotted  in  California  will  be  seen. 
Alix  2:03%  trotted  the  fastest  mile  ever  seen  in  this 
State  when  she  tried  to  beat  her  record  at  Los  An- 
geles December  25th,  J894.  She  failed  in  the  at- 
tempt to  lower  her  mark  as  the  mile  was  in  2:05%, 
but  no  other  trotter  has  ever  shown  as  fast  a  mile 
this  side  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  fastest  win- 
ning heat  ever  trotted  in  California  is  to  the  credit 
of  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels'  mare  Dione  by  Eros,  whose 
mile  in  2:07%  at  Santa  Rosa  July  4th,  1900  is  the 
coast  record. 


Danube  started  in  the  $5,000  trot  at  Libertyville, 
Illinois,  last  week  but  was  just  outside  the  money, 
being  fifth  in  the  summary.  Advancer  wc(n  the 
race    in    straight    heats,    best    time    2:11%. 


Sweet  Marie  failed  to  lower  the  record  at  Reaa- 
ville  on  Friday  of  last  week.  The  mare  made  two 
attempts  but  2:05%  was  the  best  she  could  do.  In 
her  first  trial  she  broke  at  the  third  quarter  and  was 
not    driven   out. 


Nathan  Strauss  is  a  pretty  healthy  ten  year  old. 
His  two  heats  in  2:03%  at  Columbus  last  week  prove 
that.  He  is  the  fastest  of  the  get  of  Director,  an 
honor  won  last  year  when  he  paced  in  2:04%.  His 
dam  is  Mary  Marshall  2:12%  by  Billy  Wilkes,  (son 
of  Harry  Wilkes  and  a  mare  by  Clark  Chief),  sec- 
ond dam  Bennie  Snyder,  dam  of  May  Marshall 
2:08%,  Major  Marshall  2.08%,  etc.,  by  Mambrino 
Abdallah  2201,  third  dam  Hippedeclinch  by  Nick 
Monroe,  son  of  Jim  Monroe  835,  fourth  dam  Mary 
by  Bay  Eagle,  son  of  Grey  Eagle.  Nathan  Strauss 
was  foaled  in  1895  and  was  bred  by  A.  H.  Moore  of 
Calmar,  Pa. 


CARE    OF    STALLIONS. 


As  every  reader  knows  there  is  a  great  deal  of 
difference  in  the  sureness  of  stallions  as  foal  getters. 
The  importance  of  this  property  in  a  valuable  stal- 
lion canot  be  easily  overestimated.  The  degree  to 
which  it  will  be  possessed  by  him  will  depend  large- 
ly on  the  way  he  is  handled. 

As  a  rule  the  stallions  which  prove  most  sure  as 
foal  getters  are  those  which  have  been  fed  and  ex- 
ercised with  intelligence.  This  does  not  mean  that 
all  classes  of  stallions  will  be  fed  and  exercised  in 
the  same  way.  The  treatment  in  these  respects  that 
would  be  proper  for  a  heavy  Belgian  or  a  Shire 
would  not  necessarily  be  proper  for  a  Standard  bred 
horse  or  a  Coacher. 

For  instance,  it  might  be  advantageous  to  let  the 
heavy  horses  take  all  the  exercise  that  they  require 
in  a  roomy  paddock  from  day  to  day,  where  the  light 
horses  in  some  instances  might  be  inclined  io  take 
too  much  exercise  if  allowed  to  take  it  that  way.  In 
some  instances  the  draft  stallions  are  so  sluggish 
that  it  is  necessary  to  set  them  to  work  moderately 
in  order  to  keep  them  in  the  best  condition  for  ful- 
filling the  mission  required  of  them. 

With  reference  to  food  no  set  rule  can  be  laid 
down.  The  hay  and  other  products  should,  of  course, 
be  good  in  quality.  Oats,  bran,  and  a  certain  pro- 
portion of  barley  make  a  good  grain  ration  with  now 
and  then  a  handful  of  oil  meal.  The  digestion  of  the 
animal  should  be  closely  watched,  as  nothing  will 
unfit  a  stallion  more  quickly  for  his  work  than  de- 
rangement of  the  digestive  organs. 

In  many  instances  stallions  are  injured  by  over 
feeding,  especially  when  enough  of  exercise  is  not 
given.  The  feeding,  however,  should  be  sufficiently 
generous  to  keep  the  animal  in  good  condition. —

eau   for  all   candidates,  for   seats   in    the   legislature   of 
Ohio  as  to  the  wants  of  breeders,  and  horsemen,  in

ien    of    other    States    to    immediately    perfect    a 
similar  organization,  as  the  only  way  to  get  a  square 
deal   is  to  organize  and  fight  for  it. 


American  Horse  Breeder:  The  vast  superiority  of 
Rysdyk's  Hambletonian  over  all  other  stallions  of 
s  ::  perpetuator  of  extreme  trotting  speed, 
has  long  been  conceded  by  every  well  posted  horse- 
man. It  is  becoming  more  apparent  every  season. 
This  fact  is  strikingly  illustrated  in  the  new  2:10 
trotters  of  the  present  season.  Up  to  September  16th 
the  number  of  new  2:10  trotters  for  1905  was  IS.  and 
every  one  of  the  18  trace  in  the  paternal  line  directly 
to  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian.  while  14  of  the  IS  are 
from  dams  that  trace  directly  through  their  sires  to 
Rysdyk's  Hambletonian,  and  the  dams  of  the  other 
four  also  show  a  Hambletonian  cross  somewhere 
along  the  line,  so  that  every  one  of  the  IS  is  inbred 
to    the    Hambletonian    strain. 

The  majority  of  these  new  2:10  performers  are  con- 
ly  inbred  to  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian,  for  13 
of  them  are  by  sires  whose  pedigrees  show  two  or. 
more  crosses  of  that  noted  trotting  progenitor,  and 
12  of  them  from  dams  that  inherited  two  or  more 
crosses  of  that  famous  son  of  old  Abdallah.  The  sons 
of  Rysdyk's  Hambleonian  that  are  most  prominent 
in  the  pedigrees  of  these  IS  new  2:10  performers  are 
George  Wilkes  (2:22),  Alexander's  Abdallah,  Elec- 
tioneer and  Dictator.  One-third  of  the  number,  six, 
trace  directly  to  George  Wilkes  in  the  paternal  line, 
and  six  of  the  lot  are  from  dams  that  are  direct 
descendants   of  George  Wilkes. 

Five  of  the  sires  of  these  new  2:10  performers  are 
direct  descendants  in  the  paternal  line  of  Alexander's 
Abdallah,  a  horse  that  lived  to  be  only  13  years  old, 
and  was  got  when  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian  was  only 
two  years  old.  Katy  Darling,  the  dam  of  Alexander's 
Abdallah,  was  only  six  years  old  when  she  produced 
him.  The  dams  of  three  of  these  IS  new  2:10  per- 
formers also  trace  directly  to  Alexander's  Abdallah 
in  the  male  line.  Two  of  these  new  2:10  performers 
are  by  sires  and  one  from  a  dam  that  trace  directly 
to  Electioneer  in  the  paternal  line  and  two  are  by 
sires  that  are  direct  descendants  of  Dictator.  One 
each  of  the  sires  of  the  remaining  three  new  2.10 
trotters  are  descendants  respectively  of  Edward  Ev- 
erett. Happy  Medium  and  Strathmore. 

Next    to    the    Hambletonian    strain    the    most    con- 
spicuous  one  in   the  above  trotters  is   that  of  Mam- 
brino   Chief  11      The   number  which  are  led  by  Ham- 
bletonian  sires  that   inherited    Mambrino   Chief  blood 
through   their   dams   is   12.     The  dams   themselves  of 
I  he.se    2 :  10    trotters    also    show    one    or    more 
crosses   of  Mambrino   Chief.     Most   of  the   Mambrino 
Chief   crosses    come  -through    Mambrino    Patchen    58, 
Woodford    Mambrino    (2:21%),    and    old    Dolly,    all    of 
which  were   from  dams   which   inherited   a  near   thor- 
The  Seely's.  American   Star  cross  is 
found  in  just  one-half  of  these  new  2:10  trotters. 
It  appears  from  the  above  that  the  Hambletonians.

front  with  phenomenal  crowds  and  when  records  of 
attendance  are  to  be  compared  this  institution  will 
have  to  be  reckoned  with.  Indiana's  State  Fair  also 
furnishes  a  first  class  place  for  the  racing  of  the 
light  harness  horse  and  Illinois  promises  to  improve 
over  its  magnificent  record  in  the  past.  It  w^ill  not 
be  long  before  these  State  Fairs  will  monopolize  all 
the  best  horses  in  the  West  and  it  is  noticeable  that 
the  horsemen  had  rather  race  for  the  rich  purses 
offered  at  these  places  than  to  compete  for  lesser 
money  where  speculation  is  allowed.  So  long  as 
these  big  purses  are  provided  the  horsemen  will  trou- 
ble themselves  very  little  about  the  speculative  fea-. 
ture  of  the  sport.  This  will  mean  that  the  breeders 
can  continue  in  confidence  to  raise  colts  on  an  ex- 
tensive scale  for  they  wall  find  a  ready  market  for 
the   product..

American  Horse  Breeder:  A  number  of  trainers 
and  owners  signed  a  paper  at  Syracuse  in  which  they 
declared  that  they  would  not  henceforth  enter  their 
horses  in  three-in-five  races.  Just  what  effect  this 
so-called  "Syracuse  Compact"  will  have  on  the  fu- 
ture of  racing  remains  to  be  seen. 

There  is  no  denying  the  fact  that  there  has  been 
a  growing  sentiment  among  trainers  and  owners  the 
past  few  years  favorable  to  shorter  races.  The  can- 
vass of  the  horsemen  made  by  the  Breeder  several 
years  ago  and  as  late  as  last  spring  shows  that  con- 
clusively, if  no  other  evidence  were  at  hand  to  show 
it.  Recognizing  this  sentiment,  several  of  the  asso- 
ciations have  limited  the  heats  to  two  in  three  oi 
to  three,  but  experiments,  so  far.  would  seem  to  have 
left  these  methods  open  to  a  question  of  doubtful 
expediency. 

That  there  is  good  reason  for  reducing  the  number 
of  heats  in  the  extremely  fast  classes,  such  as  free- 
for-alls,  there  can  be  little  doubt,  as  here  the  horses 
have  to  be  strung  to  their  limit  to  win  and  the  con- 
testants are  for  the  most  part  aged  horses  whose 
recuperative  power  is  not  as  good  as  that  of  younger 
horses,  but  it  should  not  be  forgotten  that  there  is 
another  side  to  the  question.  Gameness  in  man  or 
beast  is  a  quality  that  every  American  admires,  and 
it  is,  next  to  speed,  the  most  important  thing  that 
breeders  seek,  and  short  races,  heats,  best  two  in 
three,  or  limited  races  of  three  heats,  have  a  very 
decided  tendency  to  put  a  premium  on  the  sprinter 
as  against  the  horse  of  .stamina  and  endurance.  It 
is  true  that  the  most  interesting  races  have  been 
those  events  of  three-in-five  heats,  where  the  heats 
were  split  up  and  the  contests  prolonged.  That  three- 
in-five  racing  is  popular  with  the  public,  too,  in 
spite  of  its  defects,  there  can  be  no  doubt,  as  evi- 
denced by  the  attendance  at  the  Providence  meeting 
which,  for  the  past  three  years,  has  been  the  largest 
of  any  of  the  meetings  in  the  Grand  Circuit:  and 
Providence  has  consistently  adhered  to  races  of 
three-in-five   heats. 

The  worst  feature  of  racing,  from  the  owner's  and 
trainer's  point  of  view",  as  now  conducted  on  the 
Grand  Circuit,  is,  it  seems  to  us,  that  there  is  no 
uniformity  in  conditions.  One  meeting  offers  a  purse, 
for.  say,  two-in-three  heats,  in  class  2:25  trot;  the 
next  town  makes  the  same  class  for  three  in  five 
and  the  next  week  it  may  be  for  three  heats,  and 
trainers  are  consequently  at  sea  about  preparing  their 
horses.  Any  trainer  will  tell  you  that  the  preparation 
needed  for  a  two-in-three  race  is  quite  different  from 
that  of  a  three-in-five  race. 

It  seems  to  us  that  the  plan  adopted  by  the  New 
England  Trotting  Horse  Breeders*  Association,  of  rul- 
ing out  all  horses  that  do  not  stand  for  the  money 
at  the  end  the  third  heat  is  a  good  one.  It  certainly 
works  well  in  practice  and  has  a  decided  tendency 
toward  limiting  the  number  of  heats  in  a  race. 


AT     OAKLEY     PARK,     CINCINNATI. 


A  fair  crowd  saw  the  first  days'  racing  on  Mon- 
day at  the  Grand  Circuit  meeting  at  Oakley  Park. 
The  Horse  Review  Futurity  purse,  §7,000,  was  the 
feature  of  the  card  and  was  won  by  Susie  N.  the 
favorite,  with  W.  A.  Clark's  Bon  Voyage  second. 
Bon  Voyage  succeeded  in  winning  the  second  heac 
Susie  N.  won  first,   third  and  fourth  heats. 

The  two-year-old  division  of  the  Futurity  went 
to  Ed  Custer,  Vera  Prodigal  winning  the  first  heat, 
in  which  Custer  broke  and  finished  fifth.  Custer. 
however,  had  no  trouble  in  winning  the  next  two 
heats  and  the  race. 

In  the  2:09  pace  Stein,  the  favorite,  won  the  firs, 
two  heats.  While  going  to  the  post  for  the  third  heat 
Ethel  Mc  threw  her  driver  and  ran  away  two  miles. 
After  she  was  stopped  and  brought  back  to  the 
judges'  stand  the  race  was  postponed  until  Tuesday 
on    account   of   darkness.      Summaries:

It  required  sis  heats  to  decide  the  $10,000  Ohio 
Stake  for  2:09  class  trotters  on  Tuesday,  the  race 
finally  going  to  Angiola  who  was  back  in  the  ruck 
in  the  three  preceding  heats.  Zephyr  won  fourth 
money  and  trotted  a  good  race.  Lady  Mowry  was  a 
starter  but  was  drawn  after  the  third  heat.  The  un- 
finished pace  from  Monday  was  won  by  Stem.

The  fastest  heat  of  the  year  in  a  race  was  paced  by 
Pan  Michael  in  the  free-for-all  at  Cincinnati  on 
Wednesday.  The  mile  was  in  2:03.  It  was  the  first 
heat  of  the  race,  and  the  effort  took  so  much  out  of 
Pan  Michael  that  he  was  not  better  than  sixth  in  the 
second  heat  and  finished  last  in  the  third  heat.  Helen 
Norte  got  second  money  in  the  2:14  class  trot,  winning 
the  third  heat  in  2:10.  Swift  B.  was  third  In  the 
2:15  pace  Bolivar  got  a  heat  in  2: OS,  then  Kruger 
took  two  in  2:0S  and  2:12%,  when  the  finish  of  the 
race  went  over.     The  summaries:

The  largest  crowd  of  the  meeting  attended  the  races 
at  Oakley  Park  on  Thursday.  The  attraction  of  the 
day  was  the  free-for-all  trot.  Only  three  horses  went 
to  the  post.  Snyder  McGregor  took  both  heats  in  close 
finishes  with  Wentworth.*  Dr.  Strong  broke  in  both 
heats  and  finished  third. 

Mainsheet  easily  won  the  2jlS,  troL  in  straight 
heats  from  Maud  Maxine.  Texas  Rooker,  favorite  in 
the  2. OS  pace,  had  no  trouble  in  taking  three  straight

AN  OLD   PACING    QUEEN. 


I  1S67  when  Warren  H.  Peabody  was  at  the  height 
;  Is  fame,  drawing  the  large  st  salary  of  any  trot- 
n  horse  trainer  of  that  time,  he  said  that  he  knew 
.d|?ocahontas  could  pace  a    mile  in  2:00. 

Eld  Pocahontas  was  the  greatest  pacer  that  ever 

0  iron,  bar  none,"  he  began.  "There  was  not  a 
ji?  of  her  day  that  could,  make  her  race.  Hero 
a  the  best  we  had  in  those  days  and  she  distanced 
in  I  saw  that  race.  Char\ey  Dimmick  had  brought 
last  and  sold  her  for  a  big-  price,  $2500  was  what 
a  ot.     In   those   days    §25G    was   a  big  price   for   a 

1  p.  They  were  not  fancied  at  all  in  the  '50s.  Well, 
JMcMann  got  her  to  train--  Jim  was  a  big  black- 
n  i  and  weighed  a  good  200  pounds.  He  was  a  good 
■llv,  but  really  knew  little  about  training  or  driv- 
I  Ijlow  the  idea  was  that  5f  they  could  get  a  good 

h  they  must  win  her  out  in  her  first  race.  1 
g  they  did  it  all  right,  but  that  was  her  first 
last  match  in  New  Tork- 

t  that   time   I   had    a    pacer,    Tom   Wonder.      He 
a  great  flight  of  speed,   bvt  could  not  last.     Tom 
1  pace  a  quarter  in  30,  the  half  close  to  a  minute. 
*then  if  I  could  get  him   to   make  the  mile  in  2:30 
satisfied.    Jim  Jamison,  had  a  horse.  Billy  Hop- 
something  like  him.     I     could  drive  Billy  to   the 
close  to  60  seconds  and    -he  would  come  home  in 
Well,   I   could   not   w<  >r_k   Tom   Wonder   a  mile 
Pocahontas,   nor   even    a    half.      McMann   would 
ie  get  five  or  six  lengths:   ahead  in  the  last  quar- 
.nd  then  come  on.     That   old  mare  could  eat  Tom 
i  a  furlong.     I  honestly    th.ink  she  could  pace  that 
straight  away  quarter  in.   25  seconds.     I  told  Dim- 
about  her  speed  years    after  and  he  said  I  was 
;ar  out  of  the  way  and  ?.a,id  it  would  take  Lexing- 
to  beat  her  for  a  mile. 

n  the  day  of  the  race   Hiram  Woodruff  came  to 

ind  wanted  to  know  what  I  thought  of  it.     I  told 

the  mare  would  win.      He  said  the  Hero  people 

their  horse  was  good    fox  a  mile  in  2:20.     Then 

.d  Hiram   that  a   two-minute   gait   couldn't   beat 

T  guess  you're  right,'    was  all  he  said,  and  the 

thing  I  knew  he  was  bracking  the  mare.    "We  had 

a   work  to  place  our  moi  jey.     The  two  went  away 

b  that  was  all  there  was   to  it.     Hero  broke  at  the 

r  quarter.    In  the  back  st:inRtch  the  mare  fairly  flew 

n  it  seemed  to  me  as  if    Mero  was  a  quarter  of  a 

li   behind  at   the   upper  t  tarn.     Just  then   McMann 

fc;d  back  and  tried  to  pull   up.     There  was  a  great 

Bl  of  dust  and  it  looked    as   if  the  old  mare  might 

h  Hero  a  chance.     All  do  tvri  the  home  stretch  Jim 

Utiann  tried  his  best  to  clUBCk  the  old  mare.    I  guess 

e  Lopped  her  some.     Now  JTlm  was  very  strong,  but 

e  ould  do  nothing  with  tb.e    mare.     Hero  was  way 

a    when  she  won,  in  2:17^-.. 

r  waited  until  I  met  Jim  and  asked  him  what  he 
tt  trying  to  do.  I  told  him  :that  had  I  done  the  trick 
e/ould  have  said  I  was  a  fool  Now  we  wanted 
:  close  race  and  were  loot  ing  for  another  match. 
pi  always  remember  Jim  McMann  as  we  walked  up 
b<  stretch.  He  looked  as  if  he  had  lost  his  best 
Id.  'Warren,'  said  he,  T  couldn't  help  it.  I  didn't 
ft  we  were  going  faster  than  a  30  gait  up  the 
li  ch,  and  I  thought  Hero  was  close  up.  From  the 
If  r  turn  to  the  homestretejn  I  tried  to  hold  her  up. 
saw  me  try  all  down  r.he  home  stretch.  How- 
lid  id  we  come  the  last  q/atarter?' 

told  him  in  35  seconds..      He  looked  glum.     'If  I 
a  just  given  the  old  mare-    her  head  it  would  have 

I  in  30  seconds/  he  said.  We  had  reached  the 
e  of  the  stretch  and  he  poir  ited  to  the  turn.  There 
n  two  ridges  of  sand  three  or  four  inches  high, 
t  oked  like  a  sleigh  track:  frhen  you  turn  a  corner 
i  ?ht  snow.  It  was  whe  re  the  wagon  wheels  had 
Iced.  It  can't  be  helped,'  said  Jim.  'No  more 
h  ces  for  a  match.     Great   God!  How  fast  she  is.' 

:e    was    right.      When     auiyone    talked    about    a 

h  with  Pocahontas  Hii-aiaa  Woodruff  would  say, 

|  can't  beat  her  with  a  t  isno-rainute  horse." 

ow   Pocahontas    could     bstve    paced    that   mile    in 

certain,  maybe  in  2:10.       The  wagon  weighed  ISO 

ds,   Jim    McMann    over     .'200.      We   used   to    allow 

seconds  for  a  wagon  with  a  2:30  horse.     Dexter 

|l  trot  a  mile  in   harner-.s    in    2:17%    and  his  best 

to    wagon    was    2.24.       The    faster    you    go    the 

r<:er  the  allowance.     Call    fit  seven  or  eight  seconds 

n  that  day  she  could  ha\  'e    pulled   a  sulky  in   2:04 

r  :05.     I   guess    there   is     a    good    five   seconds    dif- 

jtee    in    the    tracks    of    1.S55    and    1S90.      And    that 

i<  le  sulky  is  worth  six  r.  ectnnds.  so  they  say.    With 

l<  ?rn  tracks,  training  and    amlkies,  Pocahontas  could 

II  a  mile  in  1:56,  maybe    fester." 

'■o   years    after   this    stc  iry   was    told   Budd    Doble 
3hown    Peabody's     rea  scaling.       Always     careful, 

•  conservative,  the  Nesti  vr  of  trainers  said:  *War-

•h  was  before  my  day  at  id  I  have  often  heard  it 
I  she  was  a  two-minute  horse.  I  am  not  prepared 
o  iy  she  was  as  fast  as  the  old  man  claims.  One 
fl  he  told  me  Johnson  we  s  not  as  fast  as  she  and  I 

0  know  but  what  he  is  right.  One  thing  is  cer- 
*'  We  have  not  gained  so  -much,  in  speed  as  many 
|  ••     I    take    out    Nancy    Hanks    this    spring.      Her 

is    2:09.      She   is    goi  ng  to    beat    it.      How   much 
ji't  tell.     But  what  trotter,   what  pacer,  with   the 

*  nion  of  Pocahontas,  was  ever  able  to  give  his 
T(  est  opponent  the  ha  adicap  of  a  wagon  against 
u  '  and  beat  him?     Yet   she  distanced  the  best  with 

j  I  am  not  so  sure  bi.\t  what  she  was  the  greatest 
f  1  pacers.  "Warren  o*jt  to  know  better  than  any 
f   .    He  saw  her  and  was  a  good  trainer  and  driver 

1  at  time." 

1896,  just   after  Billy   Andrews   had   given   John 

'■■  entry  his  work-out    over  tee  old  Buffalo  Driving 

in  2:03  (  it  would  h  ave  been  a  good  second  faster 

e    runner    hadn't    s.topped    last    quarter) ,    Frank 

1  win  said: 


Gen,  John  Turner  turned  and  blandly  said:  "Frank, 
you  must  be  thinking  of  old  Pocahontas.  I  have 
heard  it  said  she  could  pace  in  two  minutes.  What 
is  there  in  the  story?" 

"Well,"  said  Mr.  Baldwin.  TU  tell  you  what  X 
know.  I  saw  her  down  in  New  Orleans.  George 
Effner  was  there,  too;  rode  Tippecanoe  against  her. 
Charlie  Dimmick  drove  her.  Dimmick  told  us  he  was 
going  to  take  the  mare  to  New  York  and  sell  her  for 
$2500.  He  said  the  Eastern  peple  would  give  it  if 
she  could  show  a  mile  in  2:05." 

'That  was  a  big  price  in  those  days  for  a  pacer," 
calmly  remarked  the  General.  "It  is  a  good  price 
now.  Gentry  sold  last  winter  for  $6500.  Forty  years 
ago  we  didn't  think  much  of  them.  A  big  price  in 
those  days,   a  mighty  good  price." 

"Good  as  $25,000  now,"  declared  Baldwin,  "the  next 
time  I  saw  Dimmick  he  was  in  Cincinnati.  I  asked 
him  about  the  mare.  He  showed  me  $2500  and  said: 
'She  did  all  they  asked,  and  more,  too.* 

"Well,  if  I  said  I  was  to  get  $2500  for  a  horse  if 
she  could  pace  a  mile  in  2:05  and  got  the  money  to 
show  for  it  I  don't  know,  I  shouldn't  be  telling  the 
truth,"   mildly  commented  the   General. 

In  the  fall  of  1S96  Frank  Baldwin  and  George  Eff- 
ner were  to  be  found  every  afternoon  at  the  old  livery 
stable  on  Franklin  street.  On  the  day  after  John  R. 
Gentry  beat  Robert  J.  at  Fleetwood  the  two  got  to 
talking  about  Pocahontas. 

"What  did  she 'look  like,  Frank?"  asked  Mr.  Eff- 
ner. 

"She  was  a  big  mare,  with  four  white  feet  and  a 
big  white  face,  and  a  golden  chestnut.  Her  appear- 
ance was  all  thoroughbred.  She  looked  more  like 
old  Lexington  than  any  horse  I  ever  saw.  She  had  a 
big  barrel,  but  then  she  was  carrying  Tom  Rolfe 
at  the  time;  foaled  him  when  on  the  boat  on  the  way 
to  St.  Louis.  Her  gait  was  peculiar,  close,  and  her 
stride  was  very  long.  She  paced  just  the  way  Dex- 
ter trotted.  Never  saw  but  one  horse  like  her.  That 
was  Buffalo  Girl.  She  traced  to  Pocahontas,  you 
know.     How  is  it?    Do  I  get  her  right?" 

"You  remember  her  pretty  well.  About  all  I'll  add 
to  it  is  that  she  was  very  rangy.  Frank,  I've  got  her 
picture  to  a  sleigh.     Come  in  and  see  it." 

He  led  the  way  into  the  stable  office  and  pointed 
to  a  picture  on  the  wall.  There  was  the  old  mare  to 
a  sleigh.  A  big  chestnut,  coming  through  the  bunch 
with  that  great  stride  and  the  high  knee  action  pe- 
culiar to  Dexter. 

"Looks  like  her,"  commented  Baldwin,  and  Effner 
nodded  and  added.  "She  was  very  fast.  I  never 
knew  how  good  she  was  for  though  I  raced  against 
her.  Dimmick  was  very  wise.  He  told  me  not  to  bet 
against   her    beating   2:10." 

"She  was  fast  enough  to  beat  anything  of  her  day, 
and  I  guess  she  would  give  Gentry  a  good  race.  I'd 
bet  on  her." 

"I  think  I  would,  too." 

Pocahontas  had  her  peculiarities.  She  had  two  gaits 
only,  a  pace  and  a  walk.  Cicero  J.  Hamlin  saw  her 
when  she  had  been  retired.  "I  watched  her  get  over 
a  pair  of  bars  half  way  down,"  he  said.  "She  hitched 
over  them  and  then  went  pacing  across  the  field.  It 
was  pretty  fast,  but  not  a  two-minute  clip." 

Charles  Dimmick  spent  his  old  age  in  Kentucky 
and  frequently  claimed  that  Pocahontas  had  paced 
for  him  a  mile  in  two  minutes.  Of  course  many  ridi- 
culed the  statement.  But  a  man  named  Horatio 
Gaines,  of  St.  Louis,  at  one  time  printed  a  signed 
statement  that  one  morning  in  the  fall  of  1S54  he 
went  to  the  old  Queen  City  track  in  Cincinnati  and 
timed  Pocahontas  in  a  trial.  He  said  that  the  pacer 
was  accompanied  by  a  runner,  which  carried  her  to 
the  half  in  1:10  and  then  quit.  There  the  mare  was 
given  her  head  and  came  to  the  half  in  5S^  seconds. 
Mr.  Gaines  stated  the  Queen  City  track  was  over  a 
mile  and  slow  at  that.  He  added  that  he  would  not 
be  surprised  to  hear  that  she  had  paced  a  mile  over 
any  of  the  fast  New  York  tracks  in  two  minutes  or 
better.  Mr.  Gaines  expressed  a  belief  that  a  half  in 
SS1/^  was  sufficient  to  carry  the  mare  way  under  the 
two-minute  mark. 

Pocahontas  was  well  bred.  She  was  by  Iron's 
Cadmus,  a  son  of  Cadmus,  by  American  Eclipse. 
Cadmus  was  a  thoroughbred  and,  it  is  claimed,  a  fair 
race  horse.  Iron's  Cadmus  was  taken  to  Ohio.  The 
dam  of  Pocahontas  was  by  Big  Shakespeare,  a  son  of 
Shakespeare. — Horse  World.

VOLUNTEER  SEES  KLATAWAH  2:05|/2. 

Without  doubt  one  of  the  greatest  horses  ever  bred 
in  California  is  Klatawah,  whose  three-year-old  rec- 
ord of  2:05%  pacing  has  never  been  beaten  since  he 
made  it  in  1S9S.  He  was  bred  at  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm  and,  as  all  our  readers  know,  is  by 
Steinway,  the  stallion  which  Sam  Gamble  selected  as 
premier  for  that  great  breeding  farm,  and  out  of 
Katie  G.  by  Electioneer,  a  mare  that  Mr.  Gamble  also 
selected  to  mate  with  Steinway.  Katie  G.  has  proved 
herself  one  of  the  greatest  of  broodmares  and  is  be- 
yond question  Electioneers  greatest  daughter.  In 
last  week's  Horse  Review,  "Volunteer  gives  an  account 
of  a  visit  to  Danforth  Farm,  Illinois,  where  Klatawah 
is  now  owned,  and  the  following  is  an  extract  there- 
from: 

As  he  stands  today  I  consider  Klatawah  one  of  the 
most  superb  living  specimens  of  the  light  harness 
stallion.  In  general  conformation  he  approaches 
nearer  the  type  of  the  blood  horse  than  any  others  of 
his  breed — save  one  or  two — that  I  can  recall.  None 
of  his  photographs  begin  to  give  an  accurate  idea 
of  him.  He  lacks  but  a  fraction  of  an  inch  of  six- 
teen hands  and  stands  wel^  off  the  ground.  Involun- 
tarily one  is  apt  to  look  at  a  horse's  head  and  legs 
first.  Klatawah's  head — which  surmounts  a  long,  ele- 
gantly crested  neck — while  distinctly  masculine,  is 
equally  handsome.  It  is  lean  and  bony,  without  a 
suggestion  of  grossness,  the  muzzle  taper,  nostril  deli- 
cately modeled,  eye  beautiful  and  ear  of  perfect  shape 
and  the  smallest  I  can  recollect  of  seeing  on  a  16- 
hand  horse.  His  expression,  as  you  look  him  full  in 
the  face,  is  amiability  itself  and  that  is  his  tempera- 
ment. To  strangers — or,  at  least,  to  me — he  was  af- 
fability personified.  He  could  be  driven  on  the  road 
with  safety  by  any  woman  at  all  clever  with  the  reins, 
being  quite  fearless. 

His  limbs,  when  one  considers  that  he  was  trained 
to  a  record  of  2:1S%  at  two  and  2:05%  at  three, 
would  surprise  an  exacting  critic.  They  look,  almost, 
as  if  he  never  had  been  trained.  Structurally  they  are 
models;  flat  and  cory,  the  bone  itself  is  heavy,  yet 
the  limbs  appear  slim — which  is  the  hall-mark  of  true 
quality  in  a  high-bred  horse.  The  hind  leg  is  un- 
usually straight — a  point  which  some  judges  object 
to,  but  one  that  I  personally  prefer.  The  hook  could 
not  be  improved. 

Comparatively,  I  should  call  Klatawah,  while  he 
does  not  lack  in  length,  a  short,  rather  than  a  long- 
bodied  horse.  The  lines  of  his  body  are  beautifully 
proportioned,  and  unite  with  those  of  his  entire 
physique  to  produce  a  total  impression  of  symmetry 
rare  in  a  stallion  of  any  breed.  This  symmetry  is  as 
clearly  apparent  whether  you  look  at  him  broadside, 
from  the  front  or  from  the  rear — a  test  so  severe  that 
it  is  seldom  a  horse  emerges  satisfactorily  from  it. 

The  impression  was  intensified  when  I  got  up  be- 
hind him.  Many  a  horse — most  horses,  in  fact — pre- 
sent a  certain  ungainliness  from  that  point  of  view. 
Klatawah,  I  am  almost  tempted  to  say,  looks  better 
from  that  angle  than  any  other.  His  carriage  is 
princely — not  flashy,  but  a  l'aristocrate.  He  is  a  nat- 
ural trotter  and  can  pull  two  men  in  a  buggy  a  2:20 
gait  with  scarce  an  effort..  I  rode  some  six  miles 
behind  him  and  never,  during  that  time,  did  he  take  a 
step  on  the  pace.  His  trotting  gait  is  bold,  free  and 
buoyant,  and  I  have  no  doubt  that  he  could  be  given 
a  very  fast  trotting  record. 

To  complete  my  description  I  should  add  that  Kla- 
tawah is  a  rich  bronze  bay  with  black  points,  a  small 
star  and  the  off  hind  ankle  white  half  way  to  the 
hock.  His  tail  is  long  and  full,  but  his  mane  is  light 
rather  than  heavy — again  an  eloquent  testimony  of 
"blue  blood."  He  is  a  horse  of  rugged  health  and 
great  constitutional  vigor. 


Editor  Parlin  of  the  American  Horse  Breeder  says: 
"A  suggestion  to  breeders  that  has  often  been  re- 
peated by  the  writer  during  the  past  twenty-five  yearn 
is  mate  your  best  mares  of  Morgan  descent  with  the 
best  stallions  of  the  Hambletonian  family  within 
reach.  Keep  right  on  doing  so.  whether  the  aim 
may  be  to  produce  first-class  roadsters  or  first-class 
race  winners.  This  combination  of  blood  is  mors 
likely  to  produce  both  than  any  other  that  has  yet 
been    discovered." 


Mr.  E.  D.  Dudley  of  Dixon  advertises  for  sale  the 
handsomest  two-year-old  Diablo  colt  in  California. 
He  is  out  of  the  mare  Babe  by  Dawnlight,  second  dam 
the  famous  mare  Bee  by  Sterling,  that  is  the  dam  of 
McFadyen  (2)  2.15%,  third  dam  Flash,  dam  of  Javelin 
2:0S%,  etc.,  by  Egmont.  This  colt  is  paid  up  on  in 
the  Breeders'  Futurity  and  is  an  excellent  prospect. 


Stamboulette  2:10%,  owned  by  Mr.  Richardson,  is 
now  at  Fresno  and  will  probably  make  the  season 
of  1906  there  at  the  Fresno  track.  This  son  of  Stam- 
boul  is  one  of  the  grandest  looking  stallions  in  the 
State  and  can  show  a  quarter  in  30  seconds  almost 
any  time.  No  better  gaited  trotter  ever  wore  harness 
and  his   breeding  is  very  choice. 


Nutwood  2:18%  is  now  credited  with  135  trotters 
and  36  pacers  that  have  made  records  in  standard 
time,  a  total  of  171.  Onward  2:2511  lias  to  his  ere  li 
145  trotters  and  41  pacers,  a  total  Of  I  ,:  ilch  is  the 
greatest  number  of  standard  pei-fiu-rnws  got  by  any 
sire-  that  ever  lived.

ROD,    GUN    AND     KENNEL.

WILD    RICE    SEED. 


The  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  re- 
cently published  a  bulletin  on  wild  rice  seed,  by  j. 
W.  T.  Duvel.  Assistant  in  the  Seed  Laboratory  or 
the  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry.  The  subject  is  one 
that  has  been  a  matter  of  much  interest  to  many 
of  our  sportsmen.  Efforts  have  been  made  to  grow 
wild  rice   a:  laces  on   the  coast,  but  unless 

we  are  very*  much  mistaken,  every  attempt  hereto- 
fore has  proven  barren  of  results.  Mr.  Achille  Roos 
has  lately  received  a  shipment  of  rice  seed  from  a 
point  in  Ontario,  which  we  believe  has  been  prop- 
erly handled  to  insure  germination  in  the  brackish 
or  fresh  water  ponds  of  the  San  Pablo  Gun  Club. 
The  seed  was  gathered  but  a  month  or  so  ago.  It  i~ 
to  be  hoped  the  effort  will  be  a  successful  one.  A 
large  quantity  of  the  seed,  was  sometime  ago  plant- 
ed in  the  ponds  of  the  Elkhorn  slough  preserve  of 
the  Empire  Gun  Club.  Unfortunately  the  seed  was 
too  dry  when  planted  for  not  a  single  blade  ot  wild 
rice  from  that  planting  ever  gladaened  the  eyes  of 
the  sportsmen  interested.  The  data  complied  by  Mr. 
Duvel  is  the  following: 

"Wild  rice  is  considered  one  of  the  most  important 
foods  for  wild  ducks  and  other  waterfowl,  and  a 
large  number  of  inquiries  have  been  received  from 
members  of  gunning  clubs  througnout  the  United 
States  asking  where  good,  germinable  seed  can  be 
secured.  It  is  quite  generally  recognized  that  w-ild 
rice  seed  loses  its  vitality  if  allowed  to  become  ary. 
and  better  methods  of  storing  the  seed  during  the 
winter   have   long  since   been   demanded. 

The  results  of  investigations  begun  two  years  ago 
show  that  wild  rice  seed  can  be  handled  without  any 
deterioration  in  vitality  if  it  is  harvested  and  stored 
according  to  methods  outlined  in  the  present  paper. 
The  distribution  of  wild  rice  is  now  reported  from 
New  Brunswick  and  Assiniboia  south  to  Florida. 
Louisiana,  and  Texas.  There  are.  however,  com- 
paratively few  localities  in  which  it  grows 
abundantly. 

Good  reasons  exist  for  assuming  that  this  area  can 
be  extended  to  include  all  fresh-water  lakes,  as  well 
as  swamps  and  river  bogs,  where  the  water  does  not 
become  stagnant,  throughout  the  whole  of  North 
America  south  of  latitude  55  degrees  north.  Wild  rice 
also  grows  luxuriantly  along  the  lower  parts  of 
many  rivers  of  the  Atlantic  Coast  States,  the  waters 
of  which  are  affected  by  the  action  of  the  tide  to  a 
considerable  degree,  and  consequently  contain  an  ap- 
preciable quantity  of  salt.  It  has  been  shown  that 
the  maximum  degree  of  concentration  of  salt  water 
In  wnicta  wild  rice  plants  can  grow  successiully  is 
equivalent  to  a  0.03  normal  solution  of  sodium  chlorid. 
This  concentration  corresponds  to  0.1755  per  cent  by 
weight  of  sodium  chlorid.  which  is  sufficient  to  give 
a  slight  salty  taste  to  the  water. 

While  it  is  wTell  recognized  that  the  habitat  of  the 
wild  rice  plant  is  in  shallow  fresh  water,  it  is  now 
known  that  it  will  grow  luxuriantly  in  water  con- 
taining little  less  than  two-tenths  of  1  per  cent  or 
sodium  chlorid.  Occasional  plants  have  been  found 
growing  in  water  which  contained,  for  short  periods 
at  least,  nearly  double  that  amount  of  salt.  These 
facts  indicate  the  possibility  of  a  much  wider  range 
of  conditions  to  which  this  plant  may  be  subjected 
v'thout  hindering  its  development.  It  is  not  be- 
yond the  range  of  possibility — indeed,  it  is  quite 
probable — that  by  careful  selection  plants  may  be 
obtained  which  will  thrive  on  soil  that  is  compara- 
tively dry,  at  least  in  places  in  which  the  water  can 
be  drawn  off  gradualy  during  the  latter  part  of  the 
growing  season. 

In  September,  1904.  Mr.  G.  C.  Worthen,  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry,  collected  a  cluster  of  wild 
rice  plants  which  were  growing  on  the  Potomac 
Flats,  near  Washington.  D.  C,  in  soil  which  was 
sufficiently  dry  to  permit  the  use  of  a  2-horse  mowing 
machine  for  cutting  down  the  rank  growth  of  vege- 
tation. This  was  newly  made  land,  and  in  all  prob- 
ability the  seed  giving  rise  to  this  cluster  of  plants 
was  pumped  in  with  the  dirt  from  the  Potomac 
River  the-  year  previous. 

This  amphibious  type  once  established,  it  will  un- 
doubtedly carry  with  it  a  strain  of  seed  which  can 
withstand  considerable  drying  without  any  marked 
injury  to  its  vitality.  Such  being  true,  the  methods 
and  difficulties  of  propagation  from  seed  would  be 
greatly  simplified. 

Simultaneous  with  establishing  an  amphibious 
type  should  come  the  selection  of  seed  plants  which 
are  capable  of  retaining  their  seed  until  the  larger 
part  of  It  has  reached  maturity.  These  two  steps 
once  made,  the  future  of  wild  rice  as  a  cereal  will  be 
assured. 

The  greatest  difficulty  to  be  overcome  In  extend- 
ing the  area  for  growing  wild  rice  is  the  poor  germ- 
ination of  the  commercial  seed.  Inasmuch  as  wild 
rice  constitutes  one  of  the  most  important  foods  of 
wild  ducks  and  other  wild  waterfowl,  many  indivi- 
duals and  most  of  the  gunning  clubs  east  of  the 
Rocky  Mountains  have  been  asking  the  question. 
How  can  we  propagate  wild  rice  from  seed  in  order 
to  establish  better  feeding  and  fattening  grounds  for 
our  game  birds? 

The  many  failures  in  the  propagz   Ion  lid  rice 

from  seed  have  been  due  to  the  use  of  seed  thi 
become    dry   before    sowing,   or   to    the    fact    that    the 
seed  when  sown  fresh  in  the  autumn  had  been  eaten 
.s  or  other  animals  or  was  '.v   by 

fceavy   floods  before  germination   took   pi 


It  is  now  very  generally  known  that  the  seed  o> 
wild  rice,  if  once  allowed  to  become  dry,  will  not 
germinate,  save  possibly  an  occasional  grain.  In  its 
natural  habitat  the  seed,  as  soon  as  mature,  falls  into 
the  water  and  sinks  into  the  mud  beneath,  where  it 
remains  during  the  winter  months,  germinating  the 
following  spring  if  conditions  are  favorable. 

Heretofore  the  plan  generally  followed,  and  the  one 
usually  recommended  by  those  who  have  given  somt 
attention  to  the  propagation  of  wild  rice,  was  prac- 
tically that  of  natural  seeding;  that  is,  to  gather  the 
seed  in  the  autumn,  as  soon  as  thoroughly  mature, 
and,  while  still  fresh,  to  sow  it  in.  1  to  3  feet  of 
w-ater. 

It  must  be  remembered  that  the  bulk  of  the  seeG 
remains  dormant  during  the  winter,  germinating 
first  the  spring-  after  maturing;  consequently,  with 
but  few  exceptions,  fall  seeding  is  unsatisfactory  and 
unreliable.  Fall  seeding  is  likely  to  prove  a  failure 
for  three  reasons:  (1)  Wild  ducks  and  other  animals 
oC  various  kinds  eat  or  destroy  the  seed  in  consider- 
able quantity  before  it  has  had  time  to  germinate  the 
following  spring;  (2)  much  of  the  seed  is  frequently 
covered  so  deeply  with  mud  that  washes  in  from  in* 
shore  during  the  winter  that  the  young  plants  die 
of  suffocation  and  starvation  before  they  reach  the 
surface;  (3  in  some  cases  a  large  quantity  of  the 
seed  is  carried  away  from  the  place  where  sown  by 
the  high  waters  and  floating  ice  prevalent  during  the 
latter  part  of  the  winter  and  early  spring. 

In  exceptional  cases  these  difficulties  can  be  over- 
come; under  which  circumstances  t  autumn  sowing 
may  be  preferable  to  spring  sowing.*  In  the  majority 
of  cases,  however,  much  better  results  will  be  ob- 
tained if  the  seed  is  properly  stored  and  sown  in 
the  early  spring,  as  soon  as  the  danger  of  heavy- 
floods  is  passed  and  the  water  level  approaches 
normal. 

In  sowing  the  seed  considerable  care  must  be  ex- 
ercised in  selecting  a  suitable  place,  securing  the 
proper  depth  of  water,  etc.  Good  results  can  be  ex- 
pected if  the  seed  is  sown  in  from  1  to  3  feet  of  water 
which  is  not  too  stagnant  or  too  swiftly  moving, 
with  a  thick  layer  of  soft  mud  underneath.  It  is  use- 
less to  sow  wild  rice  seed  on  a  gravelly  bottom  o«. 
in  water  where  the  seed  will  be  constantly  disturbed 
by  strong  currents. 

Previous  to  this  time,  save  in  a  few  reported  cases, 
the  seed  which  was  allowed  to  dry  during  the  winter 
and  was  sown  the  following  spring  gave  only  nega- 
tive results.  It  is  now  definitely  known  that  wild 
rice,  if  properly  handled,  can  be  stored  during  the 
winter  without  impairing  the  quality  of  germination 
to  any  appreciable  degree,  and  that  it  can  be  sown 
the  following  spring  or  summer  with  good  success. 

The  vitality  of  wild  rice  seed  is  preserved  almost 
perfectly  if  kept  wet  in  cold  storage — Nature's 
method  of  preservation.  This  method  of  storage 
implies  that  the  seed  has  been  properly  harvested 
and  cared  for  up  to  the  time  of  storage.  The  seed 
should  be  gathered  as  soon  as  mature,  put  loosely 
into  sacks  (preferably  burlap),  and  sent  at  once  to 
the  cold-storage  rooms.  If  the  wild  rice  fields  are 
some  distance  from  the  cold-storage  plant  the  sacks 
of  seed  should  be  sent  by  express,  and  unless  prompt 
delivery  can  be  guaranteed  it  is  not  advisable  to  send 
by  freight  even  for  comparatively  short  distances. 
It  is  very  important  that  the  period  between  the  time 
of  harvesting  and  the  time  when  the  seed  is  put  into 
cold  storage  be  as  short  as  possible.  If  this  time  is 
prolonged  to  such  an  extent  as  to  admit  of  much  fer- 
mentation or  to  allow  the  seed  near  the  outside  of 
the  bags  to  become  dry  during  transit,  its  vitality 
will  be  greatly  lowered. 

It  is  not  practicable  to  give  any  definite  length  of 
time  which  may  elapse  between  harvesting  and  stor- 
ing, inasmuch  as  the  temperature,  humidity,  and 
general  weather  conditions,  as  well  as  the  methods 
of  handling  the  seed,  must  be  taken  into  considera- 
tion. Let  it  suffice  to  say,  however,  that  the  vitality 
of  the  seed  will  be  the  stronger  the  sooner  it  is  put 
into   cold   storage  after  harvesting. 

As  soon  as  the  seed  is  received  at  the  sold-storage 
plant,  while  it  is  still  fresh  and  before  fermentation 
has  taken  place,  it  should  be  put  into  buckets,  open 
barrels,  or  vats,  covered  with  fresh  water,  and  placed 
at  once  in  cold  storage.  If  there  is  present  a  con- 
siderable quantity  of  light  immature  seed  or  straw, 
broken  sticks,  etc..  it  will  be  profitable  to  separate 
this  from  the  good  seed  by  floating  in  water  pre- 
paratory to  storing  The  storage  room  should  be 
maintained  at  a  temperature  just  above  freezing — 
what  the  storage  men  usually  designate  as  the 
"chill  room." 

When  taken  from  cold  storage  in  the  spring  the 
seed  must  not  be  allowed  to  dry  out  before  planting, 
as  a  few  days'   drying  will  destroy  every  embryo. 

Seed  which  was  stored  under  the  foregoing  condi- 
tions from  October  19,  1903.  to  November  15.  1904. 
393  days  germinated  from  SO  to  S8  per  cent.  Another 
lot  of  seed,  which  was  stored  on  October  6,  1904,  and 
tested  for  vitality  on  April  17,  1905,  germinated  79.8 
per  cent. 

The  foregoing  conclusions  are  based  on  the  results 
obtained  from  two  series  of  experiments  as   follows: 

In  October,  1903.  a  box  of  wild  rice  seed  was  re- 
ceived from  Ontario.  Canada.  This  seed,  as  soon  as 
gathered  was  loosely  packed  in  moist  sphagnum  ana 
Sent  by  express  to  the  Seed  Laboratory  of  the  United 
State  Department  of  Agriculture.  After  a  few  days, 
while-  it  was  yet  moist  and  before  any  fermentation 
had   taken  place,  the  seed  was  divided  into  four  lots 


for  special  treatment,  as  follows: 

(1)  Seed   submerged  in    water   and    placed  in  |, 
storage    at    a   temperature    of    32    degrees    to    34 
grees  F. 

(2)  Seed  submerged  in  water  and  placed  in  i 
storage  at  a  temperature  of  12  degrees  F.  The  s 
was  soon  embedded  in  a  solid  mass  of  ice  and 
mained  so  until  samp'es  were  taken  for  test. 

(3)  Seed,  without  the  addition  of  wrater,  put  i 
cloth  bags  and  kept  in  cold  storage  at  a  temperat 
of  32  degrees  to  34  degrees  F. 

(4)  Seed,  without  the  addition  of  water,  putfi] 
cloth  bags  and  kept  in  cold  storage  at  a  temperat 
of  12  degrees  F. 

In  October,  1904.  a  second  consignment  of  seed  \ 
received  from  Minnesota,  and  the  following  ac 
tional  storage  experiments  were  made  by  Mr.  C. 
Scofield,  of  the  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry. 

(o)  Seed  submerged  in  water  and  placed  in  c 
storage  at  a  temperature  of  32  degrees  to  34  degr 
F.,  as  in  No.  1. 

(6)  Seed    submerged   in    water   and    placed  in  c 
storage    at    a    temperature    of    12    degrees   F. 
No.  2. 

(7)  Seed  submerged  in  water  in  a  galvanized-i 
bucket  and  stored  on  the  roof  of  the  laboratory  bu 
ing  The  W;ater  was  changed  daily  when 
frozen. 

(5)  Seed  submerged  in  water  in  a  galvanized-i 
bucket  and  stored  on  the  roof  of  the  laborat 
building,  as  in  No.  7.  In  this  case  the  water  was 
changed  save  to  replace  the  loss  due  to  evaporat 

(9)  The  conditions  for  N  o.  9  were  the  same 
thoie  for  No.  S,  except  that  air  was  forced  into 
water  daily  when  not  frozen  solid. 

Samples  of  seed  were  taken  from  the  different  3 
and  tested  for  vitality  at  irregular  intervals  throu 
out  the  time  of  storage,  which  ,in  the  former  ser 
extended  over  a  period  approximately  thirl 
months  and  in  the  latter  series  over  a  period  of 
tie  more  than  six  months. 

Experiments    Nos.    1    and    5. — The    seed   which 
submerged    in   water   and   stored   in    the   "chill  ro( 
showed   no    deterioration   in   vitality.      The    results 
the  final  tests  gave  a  germination  varying  from 
to   88  per  cent.     This  is  practically  Nature's  met 
oi    preserving    the    vitality    of    the    seed    during 
winter. 

Experiments  Nos.  2  and  6. — The  seed  which 
submerged  in  water  and  stored  at  a  temperature 
12  degrees  F.  was  all  killed  before  the  spring  foll< 
ing  the  date  of  storage.  Soon  after  being  placed 
storage  the  water  was  frozen  solid  and  the 
were  embedded  in  a  mass  of  ice,  in  which  coi 
they  remained  throughout  the  experiment, 
tion  being  cut  out  from  time  to  time  for  genni 
tion  tests.  The  complete  loss  of  vitality  in  these 
lots  of  seed  is  attributed  not  to  the  freezing  direc 
but  to  the  thorough  desiccation  as  a  result  of 
continuous   low   temperature. 

Experiments  Nos.  3  and  4. — The  samples  of  s 
which  were  stored  in  cloth  bags  at  the  temperati 
of  32  degrees  to  34  degrees  F.  and  of  12  degrees 
had,  for  all  economic  purposes,  entirely  lost  their 
tality.  The  average  percentage  of  germination, 
shown  by  the  37  tests  made  from  each  of  the 
lots  ,was  less  than  five-tenths  of  1  per  cent. 

Experiment  No.  7.— The  seed  which  was  submer 
in  water  and  stored  on  the  roof  of  the  laborat 
building  .the  water  being  changed  daily,  showei 
good  percentage  of  germination  when  the  last  vita 
tests  were  made.  If  only  a  small  quantity  of  seer 
desired  for  the  spring  planting  and  cold  storage 
not  be  readily  secured,  good  results  may  be 
tained  by  this  treatment;  but  it  is  much  less  cert 
and  probably  more  expensive  than  keeping  the  s 
in  cold  storage,  and  for  this  reason  is  not  rec( 
mended.  The  success  of  this  method  will  likev 
depend  largely  on  the  temperature   of  the  water. 

Experiments  Nos.  S  and  9.— On  April  22,  1905  ,s:  • 
pies  taken  from  each  of  these  two  lots  of  seed  sh« 
ed    a    marked    deterioration    in    vitality.      Thoroug'' 
mixed  samples  from  No.  8  showed  a  vitality  of  c 
58    per    cent,    while    No.    9    had    deteriorated    to 
per  cent.  _ 

Too  much  care  can  not  be  given  to  the  matteil 
packing  the  seed  for  transportation,  for  unless 
packing  is  properly  done  the  vitality  of  the  seed 
be  destroyed  during  transit.  What  is  here  said 
plies  to  fresh  seed  which  is  to  be  sown  in  the  autut. 
as  well  as  to  seed  which  has  been  kept  in  cold  s J 
age  during  the  winter.  It  must  not  be  forgot '' 
however,  that  the  vitality  of  cold-storage  seed! 
more  quickly  destroyed  on  drying  than  that  ■ 
fresh  seed. 

For  transportation  the  seed  should  be  carefj 
packed,  with  moist  sphagnum,  cocoanut  fiber,  or 
excelsior,  in  a  loosely  slatted  box.  If  the  tinn 
transportation  does  not  exceed  five  or  six  daysfl 
special  precautions  need  be  taken  as  to  the  t*H 
perature.  During  the  period  of  transportation  if 
quite  probable  that  some  of  the  seed  will  genninl 
but  if  sown  at  once  growth  will  not  be  retarded  ■ 
the  roots  will  soon  penetrate  the  soil  and  anchor  • 
young  plants. 

If  the  time  of  transportation  is  necessarily  long-' 
is  recommended,  if  the  best  results  are  desired,  i* 
some  provision  be  made  for  a  reduced  temperat* 
The  nearer  the  temperature  approaches  that  '* 
freezing  the  better.  It  has  been  demonstrated,  h  - 
ever,  that  a  fair  percentage  of  seed  will  remain  i 
minable  for  a  considerable  time  if  packed  as  at 
described. 

On  October  10.  1904,  Mr.  C.  S.  Scofield  sent  a  sil 
quantity  of  wild  rice,  packed  in  moist  sphagi  o 
moss  in  a  well-ventilated  box,  to  Doctor  De  VrlesW 
Amsterdam.  Holland.  On  October  14  or  15  this^ 
was  placed  in  cold  storage  on  the  steamer  in  3 
York  Harbor.  The  box  of  seed  was  received  by  I 
tor  De  Vries  in  good  condition  on  November  2,  twi 
one  days  after  the  seed  was  packed  for  shipment

The  samples  were  tested  (1)  between  folds  of  blot- 
ting- paper — our  regular  method  for  testing  the  ger- 
mination of  most  seeds — and  (2)  in  water,  Nature's 
method  of  sowing  wild  rice  seed.  The  latter  method 
gave  much  better  results  and  was  the  one  finally 
adopted  for  the  laboratory  tests.  The  seed  should 
be  covered  with  water,  the  water  in  the  dishes  to  be 
changed  daily. 

Plate  I  shows  the  importance  of  making-  the  ger- 
mination tests  in  water,  as  described  in  the  fore- 
going paragraph.  The  seed  was  covered  with  water 
and  placed  in  a  germinating  chamber  maintained  at 
an  alternating  temperature  of  20  degrees  C.  (6S  de- 
grees F.)  for  eighteen  hours,  and  30  degrees  C.  (84  de- 
grees F.)  for  six  hours,  until  the  mapor-ity  of  thw 
seeds  had  germinated.  At  this  stage  the  dish  con- 
taining the  seeds  was  transferred  to  the  worktabl*. 
which  was  exposed  to  the  temperature  of  the  labora- 
tory— approximately  that  of  a  living-room.  The  wa- 
ter in  the  dish  was  chaged  daily  during  the  period  of 
germination,  and  water  was  afterwards  added  a  ■. 
irregular  Intervals  to  replace  the  doss  by  evaporation. 

Germination  tests  were  made  at  constant  and  al- 
ternating temperatures,  ranging  from  15  degrees  to 
3S  degrees  C.  (59  degrees  to  95  degrees  F.).  "While 
no  effort  was  made  to  show  the  minimum  and  maxi- 
mum temperatures  of  germination,  the  percentage 
was  somewhat  reduced  at  a  constant  temperature  of 
35  degrees  C,  and  the  maximum  is  not  much  above 
that.  All  of  the  other  temperatures  gave  good  re- 
sults. The  lower  temperatures,  however,  were  slight- 
ly more  favorable  than  the  higher.  These  facts  ar*. 
valuable  to  show  that  the  wild  rice  plant  can  thrrw, 
in  either  warm  or  cold  water,  but  better,  perhaps,  in 
northern   than  in  southern   latitudes. 

Summary. — (1)  Under  no  circumstances  should 
wild  rice  seed  which  is  in  tended  for  planting  be  al- 
lowed to  dry.  Dried  seed  will  germinate  but  rarely 
and  should  never  be  sown. 

(2)  Wild  rice  seed  can  be  stored  without  deter- 
ioration if  it  is  gathered  as  soon  as  matured,  put  into 
larrels  or  tanks,  covered  with  fresh  water,  and,  be- 
fore fermentation  has  set  in  .stored  at  a  tempera- 
ture of  32-34  degrees  F.  Seed  treated  in  htis  way 
germinated  as  high  as  88  per  cent  after  being  in 
storage  393  days.  Fresh  seed  seldom  germinates  bet- 
ter, and  usually  not  so  well. 

(3)  After  the  seed  is  taken  from  cold  storage  it 
should  not  be  allowed  to  dry.  The  vitality  of  cold- 
storage  seed  is  destroyed  on  drying  even  more  quick- 
ly than  that  of  fresh  seed. 

(4)  For  transportation  the  seed  should  be  packed 
in  moist  sphagnum,  cocoanut  fiber,  or  fine  excelsior. 
If  not  more  than  five  or  six  days  are  required  for 
transit,  no  special  precautions  need  be  taken  for 
controlling  the  temperature;  but  if  the  time  for 
transportation  exceeds  six  days,  provision  should  be 
made  for  a  temperature  sufficiently  low  to  prevent 
marked  fermentation.  A  temperature  approximately 
freezing    Will   give   the   most   satisfactory   results. 

(5)  Wild  rice  can  be  sown  either  in  the  autumn  or 
in  the  spring.  Spring  sowing  is  preferable,  thus 
avoiding  the  danger  of  having  the  seed  eaten  or  de- 
stroyed by  wild  ducks  or  other  animals  during  the 
fall  or  winter,  or  of  its  being  buried  or  washed  away 
by  the  heavy  floods  of  late  winter  or  early  spring. 

(6)  Wild  rice  should  be  sown  in  the  spring  in  from 
1  to  3  feet  of  water  which  is  neither  too  stagnant 
nor  too  swiftly  moving,  as  soon  as  the  danger  of 
heavy  floods  is  passed. 

(7)  Wild  rice  is  of  the  greatest  importance  as  a  food 
for  wild  waterfowl,  likewise  a  delicious  breakafst" 
food  for  man,  and  the  area  in  which  it  is  extensively 
grown  should  be  extended.  It  will  grow  luxuriantly 
in  either  warm  or  cold  water;  furthermore,  it  can  be 
grown  successfully  in  water  which  is  slightly  salty 
to  the  taste. 

(8)  In  determining  the  vitality  of  any  sample  of 
wild  rice  seed  the  germination  tests  should  be  made 
in  water— the  condition  under  which  the  self-grown 
germinates.  jr*  I  Ell 

(9)  The  seed  will  germinate  well  at  temperatures, 
ranging  from  15  degrees  to  30  degrees  C.  The  maxi- 
mum temperature  of  germination  is  above  35  degrees 
C.  (95  degrees  F.),  but  better  results  are  obtained  at 
lower  temperatures.  Y* 

The  seed  of  wild  rice  sometimes  called  Indian  rice.  > 
or  water  oats  (Zizania  aquatica  L.),  has  always  been 
a  very  palatable  food  among  the  Indians,  especially 
those  of  the  upper  Mississippi  Valley.  Of  recent 
years  wild  rice  has  found  a  place  on  the  menu  caro.. 
o  fsome  of  our  best  American  hotels.  The  rich  and 
highly  nutrition  grains,  together  with  the  slightly 
smoky  flavor  it  has  when  properly  prepared,  make 
it  an  extremely  palatable  article  of  diet.  If  it  were 
not  for  the  difficulties  of  harvesting  the  seed  and 
preparing  the  finished  product  for  market  it  is  prob- 
able that  wild  rice  would  find  a  place  in  many  Ameri- 
can homes. 

At  present,  however,  the  greatest  interest  in  wild 
rice  is  created  by  the  value  of  the  seed  as  a  food  for 
wild  water  fowl,  particularly  wild  ducks.  As  a  re- 
sult of  this  interest  the  propogation  of  wild  rice  from 
seed  has  now  become  a  question  of  considerable  In, 
portance.  That  there  are  favorable  districts  for  the 
growth  of  wild  rice  on  the  Coast  is  believed  by  a 
number  of  those  interested,  once  a  start  has  been 
made  it  is  only  a  question  of  a  comparatively  short 
time  when  the  much  desired  wild  rice  will  be  growing 
on  many  preserves,  if  not  on  wild  rice  farms  as  a 
market   cereal. 


proved  somewhat,  or  at  any  rate  no  harm  was  done, 
states   a  writer  in  a  sporting  goods  journal. 

An  angling  friend  has  suggested  that  I  did  not 
soak  the  lines  long  enough  in  the  solution,  but  he  be- 
lieves that  if  they  are  soaked  in  it  for  twenty-four 
hours,  then  dried  slowly,  results  should  be  quite  sat- 
isfactory. This  seems  plausible  to  me,  in  view  of 
the  action  of  the  line  so  far  tried  after  saturation  for 
a  half  hour  or  more. 

I  have  fished  in  salt  water  with  a  small  braided 
linen  line  saturated  for  half  an  hour  in  benzine  ank 
paraffin  a  month  previously,  and  which  seemed  To 
be  perfectly  waterproof  when  used  immediately  after 
drying,  but  which  became  wet  through  using  a  short 
time.  Subsequent  us  e  of  this  line  surprised  me,  To* 
it  seemed  to  be  improved  a  good  deal,  although  when 
arawn  through  the  fingers  none  of  the  paraffin  came 
off  the  surface  as  at  first.  In  long  casts  little  water 
came  in  on  the  line  when  it  was  reeled  in,  and  it 
would  lie  on  the  surface  like  a  feather  until  strain 
was  put  on  the  bait.  And  although  the  business  end 
of  the  line  would  get  wet  after  continued  use,  it  did 
not  swell  badly,  as  b2i'ore  treatment,  nor  did  it  seem 
to   stick  to   guides  and  tips. 

A  favorite  line  of  raw  silk,  used  on  a  casting-rod, 
was  also  treated  and  used  during  a  week's  fishing. 
This  is  a  very  soft  line,  size  "H,"  and  soaked  up  wa- 
ter like  a  sponge  before  treatment.  Since  then,  how- 
ever, it  shows  some  improvement — almost  as  much 
as  the  linen  line  referred  to  above.  Fishing  in  waters 
in  which  there  was  considerable  vegetable  growth, 
either  suspended  in  the  'natter  or  on  the  surface,  it 
did  not  seem  to  pick  up  matter  to  clog  the  tip  or 
guides.  Altogether,  there  seems  to  be  some  merit  in 
the  treatment.  At  any  late,  it  seems  that  if  paraffin 
ana  benzine  will  wtrterproof  tents  and  the  like,  why 
will  the  solution  not  be  good  for  fishing  lines?  As 
an  example,  I  have  a  triangular  awning  which  was 
originally  used  merely  to  shade  my  tent  from  the 
sun's  rays.  It  is  common  bleached  muslin,  or  sheet-' 
ing.  It  was  treated  more  than  three  years  ago  as  an 
experiment.  It  turned  water  then  like  a  duck. 
Within  a  month  it  was  used  again  in  camp.  As  it 
■was  suspended  tightly  between  three  trees,  and  also 
guyed  between  all  corners,  after  a  heavy  downpour 
of  rain  a  barrel  or  so  of  water  was  caught  in  it  and 
held  until  the  weight  was  too  much  for  one  side  or 
the  other,  when  most  of  it  would  run  off.  But  none 
of  the  water  came  through  this  thin  muslin,  which 
had  alternately  been  carried  in  a  wad  in  the  bottom 
of  duffle-bags,  folded,  whipped  by  the  wind,  etc.,  un- 
til one  would  think  it  little  better  than  a  sieve.  Still, 
it  is  as  soft  and  pliable  as  when  it  came  from  the 
store. 

After  the  appearance  of  my  previous  communica- 
tion on  this  subject  Mr.  J.  E.  Hindon  Hyde  sent  me 
a  small  piece  of  a  braided  linen  line  that  the  manu- 
facturers had  waterproofed  with  a  preparation  on 
which  he  has  secured  a  patent.  He  claims  his  pre- 
paration will  not  rot  silk  or  vegetable  fibres,  and 
will  withstand  the  action  of  the  salts  contained  in 
salt  water.  The  line  from  which  the  bit  was  sent 
me  was  cut  had  been  submerged  in  Long  Island 
Sound  for  six  weeks,  but  he  said  he  could  not  find 
that  it  had  been  injured  thereby.  It  seems  softer  than 
an  enameled  silk  line  of  equal  size,  and  an  examina- 
tion shows  that  the  waterproofing  preparation  pene- 
trated to  its  core.  I  understand  that  the  manufac- 
turers have  experimented  with  this  line  until  they  are 
satisfied  with  it.  and  that  it  will  be  in  the  hands  of 
jobbers  within  a  short  time.  It  will  be  put  up  in 
coils  on  cards  bearing  two  fishes,  the  trade-mark  of 
the  manufacturers,  who  do  not  sell  lines  in  their  own 
name,  as  they  market  all  of  their  goods  through  the 
jobbers. 

The  braided  silk  lines  called  Saline,  and  sold  under 
the  trade-mark  mentioned  during  the  past  year,  are 
also  treated  under  Mr.  Hyde's  patent,  and  were  useo. 
in  fresh  water  with  success.  Quite  recently  Saline 
enamel  finish  silk  lines  for  use  in  salt  water  have 
been  made,  and  it  is  my  good  fortune  to  own  one. 
The  claim  of  its  makers,  that  it  is  absolutely  un- 
affected by  any  alkaline  substance,  and  will  stand 
the  ocean  water  as  well  as  any  fresh  water,  is  a  very- 
strong  one,  hut  after  using  one  of  these  lines  for  a 
week  I  ljke  it  very  much.  Mine  is  size  *H,"  and  it 
was  used  in  salt  water  where  there  is  much  vege- 
table matter.  Water  does  not  affect  the  line  at  all, 
unless  it  improves  it  in  casting.  It  is  more  flexible 
than  an  ordinary  enamelled  line,  picks  up  no  foreign 
matter,  and  runs  off  the  reel  smoothly  without  ball- 
ing up.  One  thing  I  have  noticed,  is  the  extreme 
sensitiveness  of  this  line,  the  strike  of  a  fish  being 
communicated  to  the  angler's  hand  very  plainly 
through  it.  I  hope  it  will  wear  well,  for  a  line  at. 
small  as  this,  which  can  be  used  in  salt  or  fresh  wa- 
ter, should  prove  a  treasure.

Hunting  in  Shasta  County. — Notwithstanding  the 
deer  shooting  season  is  near  its  close  knowing 
sportsmen  are  still  getting  bucks  an  1  enjoyint, 
healthful  outings.  A  recent  trip  to  the  far  recesses 
of  the  mountainous  country  of  Shasta  county  made 
by  a  party  of  local  sportsmen  and  associate?,  was  a 
revelation  in  the  nature  of  shooting  and  fishing  pos- 
sibilities to  be  found  in  a  seldom  visited  district. 

D.  M.  Hanlon  and  Frank  P.  Sheldon  of  this  ctij 
and  Charles  E.  Mayfield,  George  Nelson  and  F.  E. 
Shields  of  Suisun  made  up  a  party  of  hunters  who 
three  weeks  ago  enjoyed  a  ten  days'  hunt  in  the 
mountains  that  was  a  memorable  outing  in  many 
respects.  The  party  journeyed  to  Castella  by  train, 
where  they  met  Charles  Loftus.  an  experienced 
mountain  guide,  who  provided  saddle  horses  and  pack 
mules.  Leaving  Castilla  early  one  morning  the 
cavalcade  followed  the  "Tom  Neil  Trail"  and  made 
camp  at  1:30  p.  m.,  near  the  junction  of  Squaw  am. 
Tom  Neil  Creek,  which  streams  were  found  to  bo 
teeming   with   splendid   trout  of  good   size. 

The  party  made  a  stay  of  three  days,  enjoying  the 
grand    fishing  to   the  utmost.     On   the   advice   of   the 


guide  hunting  -was  postponed  until  another  location, 
in  the  heart  of  the  rough  country,  fifteen  miles  east 
of  Squaw  creek  was  reached.  The  guide  promised 
when  that  point  was  reached  to  provide  a  plethora 
of  deer  and  bear  hunting.  Near  the  first  camp 
many  does  and  fawns  were  seen  but  bucks  were  too 
wary  to  show  up  to  any  extent.  A  slight  tinge  of 
excitement  was  vouchsafed  the  campers,  for  bear 
tracks  were  discovered  all  about  the  camp  each 
morning,  showing  that  bruin  had  scented  the  camp 
pots  and  had  been  nightly  prowling  for  food  scraps. 

The  hunters  broke  camp  on  the  morning  of  the 
fourth  day  and  struck  out  over  an  exceedingly  rough 
country,  ignoring  trails  and  working  east  fifteen  miles 
when  a  new  camp  was  pitched  in  a  hunting  district 
that  came  up  to  the  guide's  laudatory  description. 
The  next  morning  Mayfield  made  the  first  kill.  *. 
large  eight-point  buck,  Nelson  evened  matters  by 
bagging  a  250  pound  black  bear.  Four  big  bucks  and 
eight  does  were  seen  the  first  day.  The  following 
day  Dan  Hanlon  dropped  a  fair  sized  buck  and  Shel- 
don and  Mayfield  worked  their  repeating  rifles  un- 
successfully at  one  of  the  largest  black  bears  the 
guide  had  ever  seen  in  that  section.  Sheldon  claims 
the  bear  was  large  as  a  Pullman  car.  On  the  last 
day  of  the  hunt  the  hunters  saw  and  jumped  more 
deer  than  any  of  them  had  ever  seen  before.  The 
country  seemed  to  be  alive  with  venison.  Sheldon, 
Nelson  and  Mayfield  each  killed  a  buck. 

The  party  were  soon  satiated  with  deer  hunting 
and  had  as  much  venison  as  they  wanted,  taking  the 
suells  out  of  their  rifles  they  returned  to  camp  not 
wishing  to  wantonly  kill  deer  they  could  not  use. 
Seventeen  bucks  were  counted  at  different  times 
standing  and  watching  the  hunters,  none  of  the  ani- 
mals were  over  310  yards  distant,  a  number  of  these 
deer  could  have  easily  been  killed.  Having  but  one 
mule  for  packing  out  the  venison,  it  would  have  been 
wasteful  slaughter  to  have  dropped  any  more  bucks. 
One  of  the  deer  Sheldon  killed  had  eleven  points. 
Quail  and  grouse  were  very  plentiful  in  the  section 
visited,  but  were  unmolested  as  the  season  for  shoot- 
ing these  birds  is  not  open  until  October  15. 

Mr.  Hanlon  states  that  the  hunting  territory  visit- 
ed is  one  of  the  best  combined  fishing  and  hunting 
districts  it  has  ever  been  his  good  fortune  to  get 
into. 


Shark  Fishing  a  Honolulu  Sport. 

One  of  Honolulu's  most  exciting  pastimes  is  shark 
fishing.  Large  sharks  abound  off  Honolulu  Harbor, 
and  a  party  of  fishermen  may  usually  count  on  bring- 
ing back  one  or  two  sea  monsters  from  eight  to 
fourteen  feet  long  by  going  three  of  four  miles  from 
shore.  The  fish  may  either  be  harpooned  or  hooked, 
the  latter  method  being  the  easier.  The  harpooning 
is  more  dangerous  and  more  difficult. 

The  shark  fishers  need  a  small  launch,  a  dead  horse, 
some  harpoons  or  hooks,  and  some  large  caliber  rifles. 
The  horse  is  sometimes  killed  a  day  or  tw-o  before  the 
expedition,  as  sharks  are  supposed  to  like  their  horse 
meat  "high."  This  is  not  necessary,  however,  and  is 
not  advisable,  for  there  is  no  special  pleasure  in 
dragging  through  the  harbor  a  horse  that  has  been 
dead  long  enough  to  really  resent  it. 

The  horse  is  tied  at  the  end  of  a  rope  and  left  to 
float  about  sixty  feet  away  from  the  launch  out  in 
the  open  sea,  and  then  the  wait  for  sharks  begins. 
A  shark  will  usually  show  up  in  a  very  short  time. 
At  a  distance  of  sixty  feet  he  is  a  long  green  object 
of  indefinite  outlines.  He  approaches  the  dead  horse 
slowly,  until  a  few  feet  away,  and  then  veers  off  to 
one  side  and  disappears.  But  he  always  returns. 
Over  and  over  again,  sometimes  for  an  hour,  he  will 
circle  about  the  dead  animal,  seeming  to  be  as  suspic- 
ious as  any  fox. 

"While  the  shark  is  making  these  repeated  investi- 
gations the  bait  is  slowly  drawn  toward  the  boat. 
Some  interesting  glimpses  of  the  shark  are  obtainable 
during  this  process.  He  will  slowly  glide  through  the 
water  up  to  the  food,  and  then  suddenly  turn  on  one 
side  and  take  a  bite.  If  it  is  close  enough  one  gets  an 
idea  of  what  he  can  do  in  the  biting  line.  In  an  ex- 
pedition last  month  dogs  were  used  as  bait,  as  a  horse 
was  not  obtainable.  Within  three  feet  of  the  fishers 
on  the  boat  a  huge  shark  turned,  opened  his  jaws,  and 
seized  the  dog.  A  large  dead  dog  was  tied  to  the  rope. 
There  was  a  wriggle  of  the  huge  green-looklnp-  oody, 
a  splash  of  surface  water  and  the  shark  moved  on. 
The  dog  was  bitten  clean  in  half. 

When  harpooning  is  to  be  done,  the  bait  is  drawn 
gradually  closer  until  the  shark  comes  rig.n  up  to  the 
boat.  The  harpoon  is  plunged  into  him  and  battle  be- 
gins. The  shark  will  plunge  for  deep  water  and  tow 
the  boat  at  a  rapid  pace.  His  strength  is  extraordi- 
nary, and  the  fight  is  sure  to  be  a  long  one.  There  is 
nothing  for  it  but  to  tire  him  out,  and  the  only  way 
to  do  this  is  to  let  him  struggle  as  he  will.  Gradually 
he  is  drawn  nearer  and  nearer  to  the  boat,  and  soon 
he  is  hauled  to  the  surface  in  a  condition  approach- 
ing exhaustion.  Then  the  rifles  come  into  play,  but 
at  the  first  shot  he  will  often  carry  the  harpoon  and 
rope  off  with  him  again  and  repeat  the  fight. 

There  is  a  spot  under  the  gills,  where  the  main 
artery  is  located,  where  a  fatal  wound  can  be  in- 
flicted with  a  large  rifle  bullet,  but  shooting  In  a 
rocking  small  boat  is  nit  likely  to  be  accurate,  and 
the  spot  is  seldom  reached  until  after  firing  several 
shots.  , 

The  sharks  are  more  easily  hooked  than  harpooned. 
From  the  side  of  the  boat  they  may  be  seen  swim- 
ming about  below.  The  use  of  a  box  with  a  glass 
bottom  makes  possible  a  splendid  view  of  them.  On 
the  occasion  already  referred  to  the  other  half  of  the 
bitten  dog  was  placed  on  a  large  hook  and  let  down 
among  them.  Through  the  glass  a  huge  shark  was 
seen  slowly  to  approach,  turn,  and  seize  the  bait.  In 
some  way  or  other  the  hook  failed  to  catch,  and  the 
shark  let  go  when  the  rope  was  jerked.  But  he 
back  and  seized  it  again.    Two  men  pulling  as  -

to  stop  and  bay  his  pursuers  on  the  little  point  of

off,  as  we  could  ascertain  from  the  noise  until  we 
rode  up;  then,  preferring  a  leap  of  thirty  feet  to  the

with  the  competitive  features   of  the  canine  world. 

Concerning  his  official  acts  as  judge,  many  anec-

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

JOHN     DAVIDSON. 


Dispatches  in  the  daily  press  announce  the  death 
of  John  Davidson,  at  Monroe.  Mich.,  on  Saturday  of 
last  week.  He  suffered  a  brief  illness.  Death  was 
caused  by  heart  failure  consequent  to  a  severe  cold 
contracted  at  Toronto  recently.  He  was  seventy- 
eight  years  old. 

Probably  no  man  was  more  widely  known  in  the 
canine  world  than  was  John  Davidson.  He  was  fa- 
mous in  both  Europe  and  America  as  an  all-round 
bench  show  judge  of  cattle,  a  breeder  and  trainer  of 
bird  dogs,  an  expert  field  shot,  and  a  writer  of  no 
mean  attainments  on  such  subjects  of  dog  and  gun  as 
appealed  to  his  fancy  or  interest. 

He   was  a  Scotchman  by  birth,  and  possessed  many 
of  the  characteristics  for  which  that  race  Is  famous- 
good    common    sense,    a    dry    and    sometimes    caustic 
humor,  the  moral  courage   to  utter  his  beliefs  in  the 
any    opposition   and   the   physical   courage   to 
stand  by  them  as  long  as  need  be.     Many  there  were 
who  thought  that  he  had  violent,  unieasoning  preju- 
dices against  what  he  did  not  approve  and  which  they 
did  approve,  but  there  is  no  doubt  in  the  mind  of  the 
writer — who   knew   him   well— that   his   uncompromis- 
ing attitude  on  many  subjects  was  due  to  firm  con- 
thai   he  was  right.    His  acts  were  always  con- 
,    with  his  beliefs.     There  was  nothing  artificial 
him,    no    affectation    of    manner    nor    frills    of 
.    iL 
While  he  was  courteous  of  speech  and  manner,  he 
to    eschew    all    evasion,    or    insincerity    or 
stand   play;    in  business  or  pleasure. 
In  the  United  States,  among  a  large  circle  of  admir- 
he  was  known   by   the  endearing  soubri- 
'Honest"  John  Davidson. 
sperlence  in   field  sports  was  broad  arid  long, 
i  practical     sportsman     years     before     the 

Irs  of  dog  and  gun  were  taken  up  in  this  country 


Peters  Points. 

Dr.  O.  F.  Britton  of  the  Indianapolis  Gun  Club,  one' 
of  the  best  and  most  popular  of  the  older  generation 
of  shooters,  made  a  most  remarkable  score  on  the 
Indianapolis  Gun  Club  grounds  September  9th,  break- 
ing 117  straight  from  the  IS  and  19  yard  marks.  This 
not  only  proves  that  Dr.  Britton  has  not  lost  his  cun- 
ning, but  also  that  Peters  factory  loaded  shells  are 
perfection  itself. 

Some  excelent  scores  were  made  with  Peters  shells 
at  the  Trinidad  tournament,  September  4th,  5th  and 
6th.  In  the  free  for  all  handicap,  one  of  the  main 
events  of  the  tournament,  Mr.  Wm.  Veach  of  Falls 
City,  Neb.,  tied  with  two  others  on  a  score  of  97  from 
the' 19  yard  mark  In  the  first  shoot  off,  Mr.  Veach 
broke  20  straight  and  in  the  second  again  scored  20 
straight,  making  a  total  of  137  out  of  140,  all  from  the 
19  yard  line.  Inasmuch  as  Mr.  Veach,  by  virtue  of 
this  score,  won  a  handsome  S75  watch,  it  mas7  be  as- 
sumed that  he  will  know  when  it  is  time  to  order  his 
next  lot  of  Peters  Ideals. 

At  Austin.  Texas,  September  9th,  Mr.  "Wallace  R. 
Miller,  shooting  Peters  Ideal  shells,  loaded  with  3  dr. 
of  powder  and  1%  oz.  of  shot,  broke  9S  out  of  100. 

Mr.  L.  H  Reid,  representing  the  Peters  Cartridge 
Company,  at  the  Kendallville  tournament.  September 
12th,  won  high  average  for  the  day,  breaking  193  out 
of  200  targets.  Mr.  Reid  uses  Peters  regular  factory 
loac7s  No.  D167   V2   ch. 

At  York,  Pa.,  September  4th  and  5th,  the  high 
average  was  won  by  Mr.  E.  C.  Hummer,  and  high  ex- 
pert average  by  Mr  Neaf  Apgar,  both  using  Peters 
factory  loaded  shells. 

At  Montgomery,  Alabama,  September  4th,  a  good 
crowd  of  shooters  took  part  in  a  program  composed  of 
a  number  of  target  and  live  bird  events.  Mr.  Louis 
T.  Spinks,  representing  the  Peters  Cartridge  Company, 
and  shooting  Peters  factory  loaded  shells,  killed  34 
straight  in  the  live  bird  matches,  being  the  only 
straight  score,  and  also  led  in  the  target  events.

Medford   and    Portland   Tournaments. 

The  inanimate  target  tournament  given  by  the 
Medford,  Oregon,  Gun  Club,  on  September  22d  and 
23d,  proved  to  be  a  most  enjoyable  affair  and  well  at- 
tended. As  usual  shooters  of  Winchester  products 
carried  off  all  the  honors  of  the  tournament.  The 
first  high  expert  average  for  the  opening  day  wras  cap- 
tured by  W.  R.  Crosby,  score  197  out  of  the  possible

"Leader"  shells,  the  only  kind  to  shoot  if  you  want  to 
be  on  the  top  at  the  end  of  a  tournament. 

It  was  the  same  old  story  repeated  at  the  Portland, 
Oregon,  shoot,  September  24th.  The  shooters  that 
used  Winchester  goods  again  carried  off  all  the  hon- 
ors. In  the  100  target  event,,  known  traps,  unknown 
angles,  H.  C.  Hirschy,  shooting  a  Winchester  "Pump" 
gun  and  Winchester  "Leader"  shells,  was  the  high

high  man  with  the  splendid  score  of  48  out  of  a  pos- 
sible 0.5  W.  R.  Crosby  was  second  high  with  46. 
Seaver  third  high  with  44  Hirschy  fourth  high  with 
42.  All  the  above  gentlemen  shooting  "Leader"  shells, 
and  in  connection  Messrs.  Seaver  and  Hirschy  used 
Winchester  "Pump"  guns. 

The  twenty-five  target  event,  unknown  angles,  re- 
versed pull,  was  also  won  by  shooters  that  shot  the 
"Leader"  shells.  The  only  two  perfect  scores  of  25 
straight  in  this  event  were  made  by  Fred  Gilbert  and 
W.  H.  Seaver.  Out  of  the  175  regular  targets  shot 
at,  as  mentioned  above,  Mr.  Gilbert  scored  169, 
Messrs.  Crosby  and  Seaver  164  each,  while  Mr.  Hirschy

scores  for  the  day,  and  were  made  with  the  well 
known  Winchester  "Leader"  shells. 


DRYING  UP  THE  COW.

I  cows  that  are  giving  milk,  and  un- 
ti  all  secretions  in  the  udder  have

I  er  to  retain  any  thick,  mattery  sub- 
"iee;    for,    undoubtedly,    many    cases 

adder  trouble  can  be  traced  to  not

Moreover,   it  is  not  well  for  the 
nal    to    absorb    this    material    into

ccasionally  there  are  cows  that  per-

rs  without  any  rest  between  peri- 
of  lactation.  In  such  a  case  it  is 
er  not  to  force  her  dry  but  con-

laid  down  for  the  feeding  and

mce  is  usually  effective  in  reducing 
flow  of  milk.  If  the  cow  is  thin  in

change  in  the  system  of  feeding,

The  cattle  situation  at  this  season  of 
the  year  brings  many  features  of  the 
trade  before  the  range  raisers  and

come of  what  may  develop  within  the 
next  thirty  days.  The  corn  crop 
usually  is  the  important  factor,  but 
cheap  corn  and  cheap  feeder  cattle 
should  produce  cheap  beef,  and  this 
should  not  materially  change  the  situ- 
ation with  the  feeder,  so  far  as  profit 
in  feeding  is  concerned. 

The  producer  of  cattle  is  on  the  anx- 
ious seat  all  through  the  grazing  sea- 
son. He  is  concerned  lest  the  season 
fail  to  bring  forth  acceptable  growing 
conditions  to  provide  an  abundance  of 
summer  feed  to  fatten  the  cattle  He 
is  concerned  lest  the  feeder  demand  be 
cut  short,  owing  to  lack  of  corn  crop 
in  the  corn  belt  or  some  other  discour- 
aging feature  of  the  breeding  business, 
check  the  enthusiasm  of  the  buyer  of 
this  class  of  cattle  and  thus  create  a 
poor  market  for  a  large  per  cent  of 
the  young  steers  that  annually  are 
shipped  from  the  range  to  fill  this  de- 
mand as  feed  yard  stock. 

The  time  of  shipment  is  also  a  mat- 
ter to  be  studied  and  finally  guessed 
at,  whether  to  ship  early  or  before 
the  great  bulk  of  cattle  goes  out  or  to 
hold  off  to  the  later  period,  get  an  ad- 
ditional gain  of  thirty  or  sixty  days 
and  take  the  chance  of  a  decline,  which 
usually  follows  through  heavy  ship- 
ments. The  feeder  on  the  other  hand 
has  an  equally  difficult  problem  to 
solve  and  eventually  enters  into  the 
proposition  upon  more  or  less  of  a 
guess  or  speculative  basis,  when  he 
begins  to  size  up  and  forecast  the  fat 
cattle  market  four  to  eight  months  in 
advance.  The  early  buying  of  feeder 
cattle  is  based  upon  a  short  feed,  the 
finishing  of  an  acceptable  quality  of 
beef  to  bridge  over  the  periol  be- 
tween the  winding  up  of  the  grass — fat 
shipment  from  the  ranges—and  the 
feed  yard  cattle  started  on  the  new 
crop  of  corn. 

The  assurance  of  a  big  feed  crop  of 
both  fodder  and  grains,  especially  hay 
and  corn,  is  made  the  basis  of  estimate 
by  both  the  cattle  grower  and  the  feed- 
er in  the  matter  of  purchase  and  sale 
of  the  feed  yard  grades  of  cattle.  One 
of  the  most  important  features  enter- 
ing into  the  cattle  feeling  proposition 
is  quality  of  stock.  The  higher  the 
quality  of  the  animal,  whether  it  comes 
from  the  range  as  a  yearling  or  two- 
year-old,  in  feeder  form,  or  as  a  grass- 
fat  three-year-old  the  more  certain  it 
is  to  find  a  ready  purchaser.  Quality 
in  beef  production  is  being  more  close- 
ly studied  each  year  by  the  feeder  and 
fat    cattle    buyer. — G.    W.    Heney. 


POULTRY   NOTES. 


A  sucessful  incubator  man  says  he 
still  prefers  a  cellar  for  his  machine. 
His  methods  are  fresh  eggs  and  regu- 
lar attention  to  machine. 

Turkey  diseases  are  caused  by  over- 
feeding, lack  of  grit,  lice,  stagnant 
pools  of  water,  feeding  after  swine,  and 
exposure  to  cold  rains. 

If  a  hen  has  proven  an  exceptionally 
good  sitter  and  mother,  keep  her  over 
until  next  hatching  season,  though  she 
does  not  lay  an  egg. 

Watch  out  for  trouble  on  the  score 
of  lice.  They  are  getting  ready  now 
for  business  wdien  the  fowls  are  con- 
fined later  to  close  quarters. 

Guinea  eggs  have  a  delicious  flavor 
for  ice  cream,  invalids,  etc.  The  flesh 
is  gamey.  The  birds  live  in  the  fields, 
destroying  insects,  but  never  scratch- 
ing. 

Plenty  of  milk  for  fowls  to  drink 
will  increase  egg  production  10  per 
cent.  But  keep  wrater  dishes  going, 
too;  because  hens  like  a  change  from 
one  drink  to  the  other.  Clean  the  milk 
receptacles  often. 

Don't  feed  too  much  corn  to  growing 
chicks.  Rather  give  them  food  that 
will  make  bone,  muscle  and  vigor,  with 
just  enough  carbonaceous  food  to  keep 
them  in  good  condition,  but  not  fat. 

Some  writers  advise  mixing  grit  with 
soft  feed  for  the  fowls  and  chicks.  This 
is  not  at  all  necessary,  as  they  will 
pick  up  all  the  grit  they  need  if  it  Is 
kept  where  they  can  have  access  to  it. 

When  the  brooding  hen  refuses  to 
voluntarily  return  to  her  coop  at  night, 
but  squats  outside,  you  can  be  pretty 
sure  that  the  coop  is  either  fearfully 
lousy,  filthy  or  close,  or  perhaps  all 
three.     Investigate. 

A  bird  that  is  either  very  thin  or 
overfat,  is  not  a  good  breeder,  what- 
ever its  excellence  in  shape  and  color. 
The  breeding  bird  needs  be  in  such 
vigorous  condition  that  its'  chicks  may 
make  a  good   strong  start  in  life. 


STOCK   NOTES. 


Treatment  of  Heaves — In  all  cases  of 
heaves  it  is  desirable  to  change  the 
ration  for  a  time  and  all  water  given 
before  eating.  All  food  should  be  wet 
with  lime  water  and  if  considerable 
hay  is  used  this  should  be  well  mois- 
tened before  being  fed.  Use  care  in 
keeping  the  stall  and  manger  free  from 
anything  which  will  create  dust  and 
have  the  stable  well  ventilated  at  all 
times.  As  a  'medicine  give  the  horse 
one-half  ounce  doses  of  a  solution  of 
arsenic  night  and  morning.  This  can 
be  obtained  at  any  drug  store.  An 
ordinary  case  of  heaves  will  succumb 
to  this  treatment,  but  in  bad  cases  add 
ounce  doses  of  glyco-heroin,  giving 
three  times  daily  in  the  mouth,  using 
a  syringe.  If  the  combined  treatment 
does  not  complete  the  cure  the  case 
is  hopeless. 


A  very  simple  arrangement  will  fur- 
nish lots  of  comfort  for  hogs  when 
made  into  a  shade.  Some  pens  are 
like  ovens. 

Some  farmers  use  calf  raising  as  one 
of  their  sources  of  revenue.  It  is  one 
of  the  profitable  ways  in  which  to  dis- 
pose of  skim  milk. 

Sometimes  it  pays  to  take  a  fresh 
start.  The  whole  herd  may  be  sold, 
and  a  new  stock  purchased,  or  new 
breeders  may  be  obtained. 

The  stock  raiser  who  can  find  a  lo- 
cality adapted  to  his  business,  and  get 
a  foothold  there,  had  better  stav. 
Every  time  he  makes  a  move  he  loses 
time,  and  oftimes  loses  money. 

There  is  no  doubt  but  that  some 
good  horses  fail  to  bring  a  good  price 
because  they  are  not  shown  to  good 
advantage,  and  are  not  fitted  for  mar- 
ket. 

The  young  mother  sow  needs  to  be 
let  alone  for  the  first  twenty-four 
hours.  She  does  not  need  even  water, 
unless  she  comes  out  for  it.  Feeding 
should    be    undertaken    gradually. 

Raising  fancy  horses  is  always  full 
of  risk  A  slight  scar  which  would  de- 
preciate their  value  very  much  would 
scarcely  injure  a  draft  horse  at  all. 
Farmers  would  better  raise  less  ex- 
pensive horses. 


Concerning  the  wool  trade,  last 
week's  American  Wool  and  Cotton  Re- 
porter said:  The  wool  market  con- 
tinues in  a  healthy  condition  although 
trade  is  not  active,  the  sale  of  the  past 
week  being  the  smallest  recorded  for 
some  time  past  But  there  is  consider- 
able business  pending  and  the  outlook 
is  regarded  as  very  satisfactory.  The 
London  sales  are  expected  to  open  with 
prices  fully  sustained  on  all  grades  es- 
pecially on  merinos,  which  some  mem- 
bers of  the  trade  expect  to  see  quoted 
higher,  and  the  development  of  the 
goods  market  are  such  as  lead  to  the 
belief  that  a  good  healthy  worsted 
business  is  to  continue  with  prospects 
of  an  improving  demand  for  woolens 
later.  Prices  are  strong,  and  for  low 
wools  there  is  a  slightly  better  in- 
quiry than  there  was.  Further  evi- 
dence that  the  outlook  is  regarded  as  a 
reassuring  one  with  reference  to  do- 
mestic wools  is  furnished  in  the  action 
of  certain  representative  members  of 
the  wool  trade  who  are  contracting 
1906  wools  in  Montana,  Wyoming  and 
Utah.  In  Montana  22c  is  being  paid 
for  next  year's  wools. 


The  flavor  of  hen's  eggs  is  declare! 
by  an  English  medical  man  to  be  very 
materially  affected  by  food.  When  thu 
hens  act  as  scavengers  their  eggs  are 
made  unfit  to  eat,  but  a  diet  of  sun- 
flower seeds  produces  remarkably  fine 
and  sweet  eggs.

SOME      POINTERS     ABOUT      MILK- 
ING. 


It  is  not  every  one  who  milks  cows 
that  knows  how.  After  having  tried 
all  the  methods  on  the  50,000  or  more 
cows  I've  milked,  I  have  about  come 
he  conclusion  that  I  can  get  the 
milk  from  a  cow  with  as  much  ease 
and  convenience  to  myself  and  com- 
fort to  the  cow  as  any  one,  writes  A. 
in  Kimball's  Dairy  Farmer. 

The  first  consideration  is  the  ana- 
tomical construction  of  the  udder. 
Many  do  not  know  that  the  teals  are 
in  pairs.  The  two  front  quarters  are 
seldom  of  the  same  capacity  or  for- 
mation as  the  hind  quarters  of  the 
udder.  The  tei.ts  on  those  quarters 
differ 

I've  seen  milkers  take  a  front  and 
hind  teat  either  both  on  same  side  or 
diagonally  across.  I  was  taught  that 
way.  but  soon  found  that  they  didn't 
come  out  even.  Very  generally  the 
hind  quarters  give  the  most  milk,  and 
the  front  teats  are  larger  and  milk 
out  faster  than  the  hind  teats,  so  the 
result   is  uneven. 

I've  seen  the  new  method  of  milk- 
ing published  in  different  papers  late- 
ly. The  manipulations  seem  com- 
plicated, but  they  are  not.  They  dif- 
fer only  slightly  from  the  method 
I've  followed  for  a  few  years. 

In  the  first  place.  I  milk  as  near 
twelve  hours  apart  as  I  can.  Tho 
cows  expect  relief  at  that  time  and 
are  uneasy  if  not  milked  on  time. 

When  I  drop  my  stool  beside  a  cow 
she  steps  over  it,  or  If  not  I  put  a 
finger  on  her  and  she  takes  her  posi- 
tion. I  never  say  "get  over  there — 
now  hist."  A  touch  of  the  finger  does 
the  whole  business  of  getting  the 
right  position. 

With  a  wet  cloth  I  wipe  off  the  ud- 
der and  teats  after  brushing  loose  bed- 
ding and  dirt  from  the  belly  and  legs. 
This  manipulation  is  sufficient  to  start 
the  milk. 

As  I  rub  I  begin  with  the  back  teat 
because  they  are  generally  short  and 
when  full  of  milk  difficult  to  get  hold 
of.  Besides,  I  prefer  to  strip,  if  that 
has  to  be  done,  when  my  grip  is  rest- 
ed, then  change  when  tired  to  a  full 
hand  grip  on  the  front  teats.  By  get- 
ting hold  of  the  back  teats  just  as  the 
cow  begins  to  let  the  milk  come  you 
can  get  and  maintain  a  better  grip 
than  to  wait  till  the  back  quarters  are 
full  of  milk  and  the  teats  reduced  in 
length  by  the  pressure  of  milk.  Still 
another  reason  is  that  the  cow  wants 
relief  from  the  back  quarters  first. 
They  are  squeezed  by  her  legs,  they 
give  the  most,  and  she  is  restless  till 
they  are  emptied,  at  least  partially. 

When  tired  of  milking  or  stripping 
the  short  hind  teats  I  go  to  the  front 
ones  and  then  back  to  the  others  if 
necessary  for  rest  of  muscles. 

After  getting  all  I  can  in  the  ordi- 
nary way,  I  then  reach  up  with  thumb 
and  forefinger  of  left  hand  and  squeeze 
the  milk  from  the  cisterns  of  each 
quarter  and  force  it  from  the  teat  with 
the  right  hand.  This  is  easy  when  one 
gets  used  to  it.  It  takes  out  every 
drop  of  milk  and  does  not  hurt  the 
cow.  It  does  away  with  the  strip, 
strip,  dribble  of  the  common  method. 

The  exceptions  to  this  rule  are  these: 
A  cow  may  have  a  sore  hind  teat.    By

beginning  on  the  well  fronts  and  then 
quietly  change  to  the  sore  teat  the 
cot.-  is  not  so  apt  to  make  a  fuss  as 
if  you  begin  with  a  sore  teat  and 
get  her  nervous  for  the  whole  milking. 

Some  cows  are  so  constructed  that 
it  makes  no  difference  where  you  be- 
gin milking.  I  generally  give  my  fin- 
ger muscles  the   choice  then. 

When  a  boy  I  broke  my  little  finger 
twice  playing  ball.  I  never  missed  a 
milking  because  of  it.  It  taught  me 
how  to  fold  that  finger  up  and  use  the 
rest.  To  this  day  I  milk  short  teats 
with  the  little  fingers  doubled  back  out 
of  the  way.  I  can  milk  teats  that  oth- 
ers would  have  to  strip. 

When  a  cow  has  a  sore  teat  I  try  to 
put  the  sore  in  the  palm  so  it  will  not 
be  squeezed.  Sometimes  the  teat  has 
to  be  twisted  part  way  around.  Some- 
times I  have  to  change  hands — that  is, 
milk  a  left-handed  teat  with  the  right 
hand.  But,  really,  there  is  little  need 
of  having  sore  teats  if  the  fences  are 
good  and  loose  wire  picked  up,  and 
vaseline  used  on  cows  that  get  in  the 
mud. 

As  to  the  position  of  the  cow,  that 
is  easily  managed.  Teach  her  to  put 
her  right  hind  foot  back  to  the  edge 
of  the  gutter.  Put  your  knee  in  front 
of  her  leg  and  that  foot  has  to  stay 
there.  She  can  not  put  the  left  hind 
leg  back  any  farther  than  the  right 
one  and  if  she  puts  it  forward,  all  the 
better.  Let  me  say  that  a  cow  can 
get  out  of  position  with  her  front 
feet  just  as  well  as  with  the  hind  feet. 
She  can  put  her  left  front  foot  way 
back  and  throw  her  belly  towards  you 
so  you  are  crowded  into  the  gutter. 
Or  she  may  put  both  front  feet  back 
and  thus  force  her  udder  back  between 
her  legs  so  even  the  front  teats  can 
scarcely  be  milked.  In  either  case  the 
front  feet  can  be  placed  in  position  by 
pushing  your  right  shoe  against  them. 
She  soon  learns  her  position. 

Some  cows  have  the  miserable  habit 
of  stepping  over  and  keeping  the  milk- 
er hitching  over  to  her.  Make  her  stop 
it.  You  can  feel  when  she  is  going  to 
pick  up  a  foot.  Reach  through  with 
the  right  or  left  hand  and  catch  her 
leg  on  the  cord  above  the  knee  and  jerk 
the  foot  back  in  place  or  hold  it  if 
she  has  not  yet  straddled  out.  If  she 
cant'  locate  the  left  hind  foot  she  can 
not  pick  up  the  right  one.  A  few 
lessons  are  sufficient. 

I  don't  begin  on  a  heifer  to  force 
her  to  a  correct  position.  The  main 
thing  is  to  teach  her  to  trust  you  while 
milking.  She  may  get  into  all  sorts 
of  awkward  positions  as  she  turns  to 
lick  your  neck  or  chew  your  coat  tail, 
but  she  can  gradually  be  taught  to 
keep  a  good  position. 


DEAD   ANIMALS   DANGEROUS. 


Some  farmers  do  not  realize  the  dan- 
ger they  hazard  by  feeding  hogs  the 
carcass  of  any  animal  that  may  die  on 
the   farm. 

Hogs  will  eat  most  anything  in  the 
meat  line.  They  are  made  carniverous 
by  improper  rations.  And  because  they 
seem  to  hunger  for  meat,  the  farmer 
just  lets  the  hogs  eat  a  dead  cow  or 
horse,  or  chicken,  instead  of  going  to 
the  trouble  of  burying  it. 

Stop  and  think  a  moment  and  you 
will  see  what  a  risk  this  is.  A  cow 
wastes  away  for  months  and  finally 
dies.  You  may  say  she  had  poor  teeth 
and  starved  to  death,  or  you  can't  ac- 
count for  her  illness.  But  she  died  and 
you  skin  her  perhaps  and  let  the  hogs 
have  the  carcass.  The  chances  are  she 
died  of  tuberculosis.  You  inoculate  the 
hogs  if  they  have  not  already  been  in- 
fected. 

A  chicken  dies  of  you  know  not  what. 
Perhaps  it  was  cholera,  or  maybe  tu- 
berculosis. Such  food  is  not  fit  to 
feed  to  anything,  no  matter  what  the 
doctors  may  say  about  the  ability  of 
one  kind  of  animal  to  give  a  disease 
to  another  kind. 

Contagious  abortion  may  be  spread 
by  feeding  the  dead  calves  and  after- 
birth to  hogs. 

The  hog  is  very  susceptible  to  dis- 
ease— the  modern  hog,  I  mean — and  we 
can  not  afford  to  give  him  but  the  best 
and  cleanest  foods. 

One  man  may  be  careless  about  this 
matter  and  have  a  diseased  herd  of 
hogs.  His  hogs  go  to  market  with 
the  car  load  of  others.  The  buyer  or 
slaughterer  rinds  a  great  loss  on  the 
load  from  that  town  and  keeps  an  eye 
Another  bunch  of  diseased  hogs 
comes  from  the  same  locality.  Word 
ts  sent  out  not  to  buy  hogs  there  at 
market  price  because  of  too  much  loss 
when  they  are  slaughtered.  If  the 
condition     continues     to     exist — as     is 


usual— the  shipments  are  refused  en- 
tirely from  that  locality.  Simply  be- 
cause one  man  will  persist  in  feeding 
dead  animals  or  tuberculosis  milk  to 
his  hogs,  a  whole  community  of  farm- 
ers are  cut  off  from  market  when  they 
are   not   furnishing   diseased   hogs. 

The  day  may  come  when  farmers 
will  welcome  the  inspection  of  stock 
and  strict  regulations  regarding  dis- 
eased animals.     It  is  folly  to  fight  it. 


HORSE      BREEDING      PROFITABLE. 

The  horse  from  time  immemorial  has 
been  a  factor  in  industrialism  and  civ- 
ilization. The  evolution  of  man  from 
savagery  has  developed  use  for  the 
horse'  as  a  beast  of  burden  and  for 
pleasure  use.  Countries  that  lead  in 
commercial  development  give  the 
greatest  importance  to  the  horse.  With 
the  manufacture  of  modern  vehicles 
and  agricultural  implements  the  sphere 
of  the  horse  in  commercialism  has 
materially  broadened.  There  appears 
to  be  no  normal  substitute  for  the 
horse  in  the  field  of  industrial  evolu- 
tion, this  useful  animal  being  more 
indispensible  to  the  prosecution  of  the 
several  industries  than  half  a  century 
ago. 

The  expense  of  raising  a  horse  is  not 
of  raising  a  steer,  while  the  horse  of  a 
standard  commercial  class  will  com- 
mand around  two  to  three  times  the 
price  of  a  steer.  The  difference  in  the 
initial  cost  is  represented  principally 
by  the  difference  in  the  service  fee 
of  the  sire.  Registered  stallions  com- 
mand around  three  to  five  times  as 
large  a  service  fee  as  bulls.  The  ex- 
pence  of  feeding  a  steer  which  will  sell 
at  $75  is  about  as  much  as  feeding  a 
gelding  that  will  command  $250  to 
$300.  The  difference  in  the  expense 
of  raising  the  two  classes  of  animals  is 
so  infinitesimal  as  not  to  enter  into 
the  calculation  of  farmers.  In  early 
maturity  the  steer  takes  precedence 
over  the  horse,  but  not  in  the  expense 
of  raising  or  profits  in  the  industry. 

Breeders  need  not  feel  apprehensive 
about  the 'future  demand  for  horses. 
Prices  generally  are  very  attractive 
and  remunerative  to  breeders.  Since 
1S96,  when  prices  touched  the  low  point 
in  the  industry  since  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War,  values  have  steadily  appre- 
ciated until  several  standard  commer- 
cial classes  have  increased  in  price 
upward  of  100  per  cent.  It  had  been 
anticipated  that  prices  would  be  nom- 
inally stationary  since  1900,  but  an  era 
of  wonderful  industrial  prosperity  has 
steadily  increased  values  annually  $5 
to  $10  per  head.  The  higher  level  of 
prices  has  made  farther  advances  the 
current  year. 

The  gain  in  values  has  been  achieved 
in  the  face  of  strenuous  opposition  by 
horseless  vehicle  promoters.  While  the 
use  of  automobiles  has  largely  in- 
creased it  has  made  no  appreciable 
impression  on  the  use  of  horses.  At 
the  leading  wholesale  market  demand 
for  commercial  offerings  has  ruled 
broader  than  the  supply  at  an  ad- 
vance of  $5  to  $10  per  head  the  current 
year,  notwithstanding  the  first  seven 
months'  receipts  showed  an  increase  of 
11.0S9  head  of  classified  horses.  When 
exploited  intelligently  at  present  prices 
farmers  will  find  that  horse  husbandry 
will  pay  a  handsome  profit. — Goodall

It  is  reported  upon  authority  that  of 
the  total  number  of  cattle  in  the 
United  States  today  considerably  over 
half  are  what  may  correctly  be  called 
native  scrubs.  By  this  is  meant  that 
they  are  not  even  worthy  to  be  called 
grades,  which  term  signifies  an  animal 
contains  some  pure  blood  of  one  breed 
or  another.  The  total  number  of  pure 
breds  in  the  country  is  extremely  low, 
being  estimated  at  less  than  one-fif- 
tieth of  the  total  number  of  living  cat- 
tle. The  number  of  grades  is  esti- 
mated at  about  one-sixth  of  the  entire 
bovine  population  of  the  country.  This 
does  not  look  as  if  pure  bred  breeding 
was  being  overdone,  or  even  as  if  the 
time  was  very  near  when  it  would  be 
overdone.  There  is  surely  plenty  of 
room  for  pure  bred  cattle  breeding  yet. 
There  is  money  in  the  business,  too. » 


Ticks  are  a  nuisance,  and  it  is  al- 
most impossible  to  keep  them  off, 
whether  in  the  woods  or  on  the  prai- 
rie. There  are  some  direct  treatments 
which  are  effective.  Of  these,  dipping 
has   proven    the   most    successful. 


Southdown  sheep  in  some  sections 
are  regarded  as  healthier  and  stronger 
for  the  South  than  any  other  breed; 
they  are  easy  to  fatten  and  are  worth 
more  for  mutton  and  wool. 


Angora  goats  are  recommended,  b 
cause  they  are  not  troublesome  to  k& 
in  a  pasture,  they  are  easy  to  kee 
they  are  free  from  disease,  they  ke 
the  dogs  away,  and  are  profitable  t 
their  hair.

120-122  SOUTH  FOURTH  STREET, 

Quincy,  III  ,  May  12,  1905. 
Some  twelve  months  ago  I  owned  a  horse  which 
was  practically  worthless,    due  to  a   very  bad 
Bone  Spavin  on  his  right  hind  leg. 

I  tried  various  remedies  without  Buccess, 
finally  purchasing  from  the  Miller  &  Arthur  Drug 
Co.  of  this  city  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse." 
After  using  one-half  the  contents  of  the  bottle, 
according  to  instructions,  the  horse  has  never 
taken  a  lame  step.  I  would  gladly  have  sold  him 
for  twenty-five  dollars  before  using  "Save-the- 
Horse."  I  have  sold  him  since  for  ninety  dollars, 
and  would  not  be  without  "Save-the-Horse"  at 
double  the  cost.

Dear  Sir:— In  reply  to  your  inquiry  of  Aug.  22d, 
I  beg  leave  to  advise  that  we  faithfully  applied 
the  medicine  "Save-the-Horse"  according  to  di- 
rections, and  whether  it  was  the  medicine  or  the 
careful  attention  we  gave  the  horse,  the  wind- 
puffs-have  entirely  disappeared  and  the  animal  is 
working  every  day;  and,  beside,  never  lost  a  day

San  Francisco,   Saturday,  October  7,  1905. 

RANCHO    DEL   PASO,    the    greatest    thoroughbred 
•eeding   farm    in    the    world,    and    one    of   the   show 
aces   of  California,   is   to   be  dispersed.     The  entire 
ud,    comprising-    thirty    stallions    and    five    hundred 
■ood  mares,  is  to  be  shipped  to  New  York  and  sold 
December,   the   sale   opening   December    4th.      The 
asig-Tipton  Company  will  hold  the  sale,  which  will 
?  beyond  doubt  the  greatest  ever  held  in  America, 
his  sale  has  been   expected  for  some   time.     Mr.   J. 
.  Haggin,  owner  of  this  magnificent  farm,  now  lives 
Kentucky  and  proposes  to  confine  his  thoroughbred 
-eeding  to  his  famous  Elmsdorf  Farm      Rancho  del 
aso  has  been  managed  by  John  Maekay,  undoubtedly 
ie  of  the  greatest  horsemen  the  world  has  produced, 
id  in  twenty  years  has  had  a  phenomenal  growth. 
1  1881  the  only  stallion  owned  by  J.  B.  Haggin  was 
ongfield.     Today  there  are  almost  forty  stallions  at 
cho  del  Paso,  from  all  parts  of  the  world.     Liki- 
ie  celebrated  breeder  of  England,  the  Duke  of  Port- 
end,  J.    B.    Haggizi    could   boast    of   owning   sons    of 
rince  Charley,  Musket  and  Ormonde.     The  first  im- 
nt  breeding  deal   of  J.   B.  Haggin   was   the   im- 
ation  from  Australia  of  Sir  Modred  and  Darebin. 
he  former   was   wonderfully   successful   in   the   stud 
nd   gained    fame   for   Rancho    del   Paso   through   the 
—  ^accesses  of  Tournament,  who  won  over  5100,000;  Bal- 
j  Lrat,  the  great  steeplechaser,  and  the  extremely  fast 
printers,    Dr.  Hasbrouck   and   Bendoran.      Ten   years 
I  50  Goldfinch,  "Watercress,  Golden  Dawn  and  Golden 
arter  were  imported  from  England,  and  these  horses 
!  ave   since   produced   many   winners.      Such   stars   as 
■  alvator,  Firenzi  and  Ben  Ali  have  carried  the  Hag- 
I  in   colors    in   races.      In   recent   years   J.    B.    Haggin 
J  as  not  raced  any  horses  in  his  own  name,  but  such 
I  elebrities    as    Sir    Walter,    Water    Color,    Africander. 
J  roper,   Dainty,   Montana   and   dozens   of  others   first 
iw   the   light    of   day   at    Rancho    del    Paso.      In    all 
I  robability    the    famous    farm,    which    contains    over 
1  1,000  acres  of  fine  land,  will  within  a  few  years  be 
ivided  into  small  farms  and  sold.     It  is  unfortunate 
I  >r  California  breeders  that  the  horses  are  not  to  be 
jld  in  this  State,  as  it  will  be  a  loss  to  our  breeding 
iterests  to  have  all  these  valuable  animals  sold  in  the 

tast. 

NOCTURXO  2:26,  the  handsome  black  stallion  pic- 
|  ired  on  our  front  page  this  week,  is  owned  by  Editor

lltural  Society  of  Oregon  did  much  to  place  that 
stitution  in  the  high  position  it  now  occupies  as

im  by  Edwin  Forrest  49,  and  fourth  dam  the  mare 
randerer  that  was  inbred  to  American  Eclipse.  Noc- 
irno  was  a  prize  winner  at  the  Lewis  &  Clark  live 
ock  exhibition  at  Portland  last  week  and  his  daugh- 
r  Moonlight   Belle   and  son  Marillo   both  won   first 

their  classes.  Moonlight  Belle  also  took  champion- 
tip  honors,  and  was  pronounced  by  the  judges  as 
irfect  a   filly  as  they  had  seen  anywhere. 


OWNERS  OF  THOROUGHBREDS  will  read  with 
terest  the  advertisement  of  the  New  California 
>ckey  Club  stakes  for  the  racing  season  of  1905  and 
'06,  which  appears  in  this  issue.  The  stakes  are  the 
chest  ever  offered  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  the 
;gular  overnight  purses  are  increased  over  what 
ley  have  been  in  former  years.  Racing  is  to  be  held 
:  all  three  of  the  tracks  owned  by  the  club  this  sea- 
>n,    and    horsemen    are    confidently    predicting    the 


PACIFIC  BREEDERS'  FUTURITY  is  announced. 
It  is  for  the  foals  of  mare  bred  this  year  and  its 
value  is  guaranteed  to  be  $7000  by  the  Pacific  Coast 
Horse  Breeders"  Association.  Many  of  the  best  posted 
horsemen  in  California  predict  that  within  the  next 
three  years  harness  racing  will  be  so  revived  in  this 
State  that  the  California  circuit  will  be  one  of  the 
best  circuits  held  anywhere,  and  the  value  of  the 
purses  and  stakes  will  be  increased  considerably  over 
what  they  have  averaged  in  recent  years.  It  therefore 
behooves  every  breeder  to  have  his  colts  well  staked 
and  this  stake  being  one  of  the  most  important  of 
those  given  in  California  should  secure  your  entry. 
The  stake  will  close  for  the  nomination  of  mares  on 
December  1st.     See  the  advertisement  in  this  issue.

SHERIFF  SMITH  of  Mendocino  county  did  the 
proper  thing  when  he  shut  down  all  the  illicit  gam- 
bling games  that  were  started  up  in  Ukiah  during 
the  race  meeting  this  week.  There  is  no  reason  why 
a  lot  of  tin  horn  gamblers  should  have  any  more 
right  to  break  the  laws  of  the  State  during  a  race 
meeting  than  during  a  camp  meeting. 


SAN    FRANCISCO    DRIVING   CLUB    RACES. 


The  San  Francisco  Driving  Club  will  hold  a  meeting

Four  races  are  on  the  program  as  follows: 

First  race,  2:20  class — D.  Leiginger's  Ring  Rose. 
J.  O'Kane's  King  V.,  Geo.  Algeo's  Mixer,  Joe  Cuicello's 
Welladay,   T.   Cabney's  Bob  Ingersol. 

Second  race,  free  for  all — A.  Schwartz's  Clara  L . 
M.  Donnelly's  Flora  G..  C.  Lacari's  Charley  J..  Y. 
Yerilhac's  Gertie  A..  A.  Hoffman's  Kitty  D. 

Third  race.  2:40  class — J.  Frediana's  Lulu  F..  J. 
Paulsen's  Schilling's  Best,  D.  Seibert's  Ed  Rea,  W. 
O'Kane's  Bay  Ike,  R.  Miller's  Senator  Hearst. 

Fourth  race.  2:25  class — J.  Pastene's  Billy  F.  Max 
Levy's  Cash,  C.  Becker's  Dan  Alden,  C.  Faulkson's

The  second  race  is  a  sweepstakes,  each  owner  put- 
ting up  $100,  the  club  adding  $200.  and  the  totalisator 
people,  who  will  handle  the  betting,  adding  a  certain 
percentage  of  the  amount  handled.  This  will  make 
the  race  worth  at  least  $S00,  all  of  which  will  go  to 
the.  winner.  The  action  of  the  club  in  securing  the 
totalisator  for  its  betting  instead  of  the  books,  is 
commendable. 

The  racing  will  start  at  12  o'clock  sharp  so  that 
it  will  be  finished  in  time  for  San  Francisco  visitors 
to  catch  the  afternoon  train  for  home.

Lauterwasser.  and  the  timeTs  Messrs.  Coons  and 
Deschler,  all  members  of  the  club.  The  starter  will 
be  W.J.  Kenney,  the  well  known  bike,  manufacturer. 
Frank  Turner,  lessee  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm 
track,  has  agreed  to  furnish  a  chicken  dinner  at  25 
cents   each   for  all   who   attend. 


LOS    ANGELES    DRIVING    CLUB    ELECTION. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club

members   of  the  board. 


The  colt  stake  gotten  up  last  year  for  three-year-old 
colts  bred  in  Yolo  and  Solano  counties  was  won  at 
Woodland  last  Saturday  by  Carey  Montgomery's  colt 
Chaser  by  Diablo.  The  only  other  starter  was  Col. 
Crawford's  colt  Colonel  C.  Chaser  won  in  straight 
heats.  The  time  was  2:43%,  2:42%  and  2:35%.  $140 
went  to  the  winner  and  $90  to  the  second  colt. 


SUCCESSFUL    MEETING    AT     HOLLISTER. 

The  meeting  given  at  the  Hollister  mile  track  last 
week  was  one  of  the  most  successful  ever  held  in 
San  Benito  county.  The  racing  was  clean  and  while 
no  sensational  time  w;as  made  during  the  four  days' 
racing  a  number  of  heats  were  trotted  and  paced  in 
standard  time.  Purses  were  paid  promptly  and  in 
full,  and  all  the  horsemen  who  took  part  in  the  sport 
speak  in  the  highest  praise  of  the  officials  of  the  Hol- 
lister  Association  who  had  charge  of  the  meeting. 
The  Ward  Totalisator  was  used  for  the  betting  and 
gave  great  satisfaction.  It  was  well  patronized.  The

.?■  JOTTINGS.  M 


THAT  THE  YEAR  1905  may  be  remembered  as  the 
when  the  blue  laws  and  the  elements  seemed 
combined  to  stop  harness  racing,  by  the  official  pro- 
hibition of  pool  selling  at  some  of  the  principal  tracks 
.»nd  heavy  rain  storms  of  several  days  duration  at 
others,  now  conies  the  news  that  the  Memphis  meet- 

»  has  been  declared  off  owing  to  the  fact  that  the 
a  etropolis  is  in  strict  quarantine  against 
the  outside  world  on  account  of  yellow  fever  which  is 
_  in  the  States  south  of  that  point.  This  is  a 
infortunate  condition  of  affairs.  The  Memphis 
meeting  has  been  the  climax  of  the  Grand  Circuit 
since  Messrs  Jones.  Billings  and  others  built  the 
_  flcent  track  there  and  placed  Murray  Howe  in 
charge  of  it  ;is  secretary  and  manager.  Great  racing 
and  record  breaking  performances  have  been  the  rule 
-very  year,  and  horsemen  all  over  the  country  and 
turf  writers  as  well,  have  come  to  the  habit  of  re- 
fraining from  forming  opinions  as  to'  the  greatest 
troters  and  pacers  of  the  year  until  Memphis  had  been 
heard  from.  Last  winter  the  Tennessee  Legislature, 
realizing  the  great  evil  that  was  being  done  the 
breeding  interests  of  the  State  by  the  bookmaking 
running  meetings  and  pestiferous  pool  rooms,  passed 
a  racing  law  which  would  abolish  them  within  the 
confines  of  the  State.  Recognizing  the  fact,  however, 
that  the  Memphis  trotting  meeting  was  not  in  the 
same  class  with  these  tracks,  yet  knowing  that  for 
constitutional  reasons  it  could  not  be  separated  there- 
from, a  proviso  was  made  in  the  law  that  it  should 
not  take  effect  until  December  1st.  this  year,  or 
after  the  Memphis  trotting  meeting  was  to  be  held, 
and  the  hope  was  expressed  that  before  another  year 
passed  the  State  constitution  could  be  so  amended 
that  the  law  could  discriminate  between  the  two. 
That  dreaded  scourge,  the  yellow  fever,  has  made  a 
strict  quarantine  imperative,  however,  and  there  will 
be  no  meeting  at  Memphis  this  fall. 


STAR  POINTER  1:59*4,  the  first  horse  to  prove 
that  two  minute  speed  for  a  mile  was  not  impossible 
for  a  harness  horse,  will,  as  was  stated  in  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman  several  weeks  ago.  make  the  season 
of  1906  in  California.  That  he  will  have  a  very  large 
number  of  high  class  mares  sent  to  his  harem  is  cer- 
tain. California  breeders  have  the  reputation  and  a 
deserved  one.  of  knowing  a  good  thing  when  they  see 
it.  and  the  most  prominent  and  successful  amongst 
them  are  only  waiting  for  Star  Pointer  to  arrive  to 
book  their  mares.  Charley  DeRyder.  who  has  been 
trainer  for  James  Butler's  East  View  Farm  horses  at 
Pieasanton  for  two  winters  and  who  has  driven  the 
Grand  Circuit  members  of  the  string  in  all  their  races 
during  that  time,  has  secured  a  lease  of  Star  Pointer 
for  two  years.  Star  Pointer  is  now  sixteen  years  old 
but  strong  and  vigorous,  and  according  to  Casper 
Redfield's  theory  just  coming  to  his  best  as  a  sire  as 
he  has  had  road  work  ever  since  he  quit  racing,  and 
his  development  has  never  been  stopped.  He  is 
owned  by  William  White,  proprietor  of  the  Two  Min- 
ute Stock  Farm,  near  Cleveland,  Ohio.  It  was  on 
August  28th,  1897,  that  Star  Pointer  astonished  the 
world  by  pacing  a  mile  in  1:59%  over  the  Readville 
track  and  the  two  minute  horse  was  a  reality.  Among 
the  leading  California  breeders  to  hear  of  the  coming 
of  Star  Pointer  to  this  Stat-',  was  Mr.  Martin  Carter, 
proprietor  of  the  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  the  gentle- 
man who  bred  John  A.  McKerron  2:04%  and  many 
other  fast  one?.  Mr.  Carter  has  probably  bred  to 
more  "outside"'  stallions  than  any  stock  farm  owner 
in  California,  and  on  his  farm  at  Irvington  there  are 
tillits  and  colts  by  nearly  every  high  class  horse  that 
has  made  a  season  in  California  during  the  past  ten 
He  has  already  selected  a  few  of  his  choice 
to  breed  to  Star  Pointer  when  his  California 
season  opens  and  the  blood  of  the  famous  Hal  tribe 
will  soon  be  on  the  farm  to  mix  with  that  of  Director, 
Nul  vt  od,  Bled  ioneer,  Geo.  Wilkes,  Stamboul,  Stein- 
M<  Kinney.  Williamson's  Belmont  and  many 
other  great   ones  now  so  conspicuous  there.

from  the  time  I  take  him." 

Well,  time  wore  along  and  I  worked  the  horse  a 
mile  in  2:22%.  Finally  Van  Bokkelen  got  the  horse 
to  train  on  a  sale  deal.  The  day  after  getting  him 
of  course  he  had  to  change  his  shoes  a  little  and  then 
he  tried  him  the  following  day.  He  did  not  go  just  to 
suit  Van  so  he  changed  his  shoes  again  and  again 
until  he  had  him  in  his  stable  36  days,  and  on  Sat- 
urday last  worked  him  out  a  mile  in  2:32*6.  He 
noticed  everyone  around  looking  for  that  fast  mile, 
and  could  not  go  on  the  track  without  someone  hold- 
ing a  watch  on  him.  He  was  six  days  overtime  and 
the  mile  in  2:15  had  not  materialized.  In  the  after- 
noon Billy  Montgomery,  one  of  my  grooms,  was 
walking  by  Van's  stalls,  when  the  latter  called  him 
over  and  said: 

"Billy,  did  you  ever  know  Bondette  (meaning  the 
Boodle  horse)   to  be  lame  or  sore  over  the  kidneys?" 

"No;"  says  Billy,  "I  never  knew  him  to  be  sore  or 
lame  in  his   life." 

Well,  sir;"  said  Van,"  rI  have  handled  a  great 
many  Boodles,  but  this  is  the  first  one  I  could  not 
balance,  so  I  examined  him  this  afternoon  after  his 
work  and  I  found  he  has  only  one  kidney,  the  other 
being  entirely  gone." 

It  is  expected  that  Murray  Howe  will  get  permis- 
sion from  Van  to  use  this  excuse  in  all  future  editions 
of  his  famous  book.

The  sensation  of  the  four  days'  racing  at  Hollister 
last  week  was  the  performance  of  Salva  by  Dictatus 
Medium,  dam  Aunt  Sally  by  Benton  Boy,  grandam 
by  Brown  Jug.  Salva  is  two  years- old  and  is  owned 
by  Ed.  Wright,  a  farmer  who  broke  and  drove  Salva 
himself,  driving  her  mostly  on  the  road,  as  the  track 
was  not  fit  to  drive  on  until  thirty  days  before  the 
races.  Salva  never  worked  a  mile  until  five  days 
prior  to  the  meeting.  She  is  level-headed,  a  big. 
strong  filly,  and  moves  like  her  sire,  strong  and 
steady,  and  like  a  piece  of  machinery.  She  won  her 
race  in  straight  heats  in  a  jog  at  the  finish  in  2:33%, 
2:33%  and  2:2S.  Salva  has  paced  quarters  in  34% 
seconds  and  could  have  been  driven  five  or  six  seconds 
faster  than  the  time  she  made  in  the  last  heat,  al- 
though the  track  was  heavy  and  slow  for  a  pacer. 
Mr.  Wright  had  two  offers  of  $500  and  one  of  $600 
for  her.  He  asksr  $1000,  with  a  prospective  buyer. 
With  an  experienced  trainer  and  proper  handling 
she  should  make  a  very  fast  and  valuable  animal. 
She  won  the  admiration  of  everybody.  Her  sire,  Dic- 
tatus Medium,  is  owned  by  Mr.  R.  P.  Lathrop  of  Hol- 
lister, and  is  by  Dictatus  2:17  out  of  Belle  Medium, 
the  dam  of  Stam  B.  2:11*4.  He  has  great  promise 
as  a  sire  of  extreme  speed. 


That  colt  trotters  produce  colt  trotters  is  getting 
to  be  a  pretty  well  established  fact.  Last  Tuesday 
Miss  Adbell.  daughter  of  the  champion  yearling  trot- 
ter Adbell  2:23,  won  the  Kentucky  Futurity  and  took 
a  record  of  2.09%,  beating  the  favorites  Sadie  N. 
and  Katherine  L.  That  Adbell  would  sire  early  and 
extreme  speed  has  never  been  doubted  by  breeders 
and  his  death  was  one  of  the  severe  losses  to  the 
trotting  horse  breeding  industry.  He  was  foaled  in 
1S93  and  was  by  Advertiser  2:15  (son  of  Electioneer 
and  Lulu  Wilkes)  out  of  Beautiful  Bells,  greatest  of 
brood  mares.  Up  to  the  close  of  last  year  Adbell  was 
the  sire  of  ten  standard  performers,  all  youngsters, 
and  this  year  six  more  of  his  get  have  entered  the 
list.  Adbell  made  his  record  at  San  Jose  in  a  match 
against  Father  Time.  He  had  started  in  actual  races 
twice  that  year  previous  to  this  performance,  once 
at  San  Francisco,  where  he  won  the  mile  dash  for 
yearlings  in  2 :  28,  beating  Gen.  Caution  by  Caution, 
Cleopatra  by  Silver  Bow,  Steel  Spring  by  Pilot  Prince 
and  Rosie  Woodburn  by  Easter  Wilkes,  and  again  at 
Woodland,  where  the  mile  was  made  in  2:26,  and  he 
beat  Eureka  by  Ira  and  Rosie  Woodburn.  When  he 
trotted  to  the  world's  record  of  2:23.  a  mark  that  has 
never  been  beaten,  he  was  driven  by  Walter  Maben 
and  the  late  Frank  W.  Covey,  superintendent  of  Palo 
Alto  Stock  Farm,  drove  the  runner  that  accompanied 
the  colt.  He  trotted  the  first  half  in  1:12  and  the 
last  in  1:1-1,  and  Walter  Maben  said  on  dismounting 
from  the  sulky  that  he  could  have  driven  the  mile  a 
second  or  two  faster,  but  he  wanted  the  mile  to  be 
made  without  a  skip  or  a  break.  Miss  Adbell  is 
well  bred  on  her  dam's  side,  but  not  in  what  would 
be  called  fashionable  lines.  Her  dam,  Emma  T..  had 
a  trotting  record  of  2:17%  and  was  foaled  in  1SS7, 
getting  her  record  in  1S94  when  she  was  seven  years 
old.  She  was  fifteen  years  old  when  she  produced 
Miss  Adbell.  Emma  T.  was  by  Socrates  2S7,  a  son 
of  Hambletonian  10,  foaled  in  1866.  and  therefore  20 
years  old  when  he  sired  Emma  T.  The  dam  of 
Socrates  was  Lady  Fallis  by  American  Star  14.  who 
produced  Kisbar  2:27%  and  Pickering  ™:30  and  was 
the  dam  of  the  producing  sires  Norwood,  Kisbar, 
Pickering  and  Socrates.  Lady  Fallis  was  the  gran- 
dam of  <  'lingstone  2: 14  and  three  others  including 
the  stallion  Fallis  by  Electioneer.  Fallis  is  the  sire 
nf  Bradtmoor,  Don  Marvin  and  Falrose,  all  producing 
sires.  The  second  dam  of  Miss  Adbell  is  Patsey  Labor 
by  Abdallah  Pilot  70S.  Abdallah  Pilot  was  a  son  of 
Abdallah  15,  and  out  of  Blandina  by  Mambrino  Chief. 
Blandina  had  six  producing  sons  including  Swigert, 
King  Rene  and  others.  Blandina  also  produced  Bar- 
'■ena.  a  great  broodmare  and  dam  of  Bertha,  the  dam 
of  Don  Derby  2:04%,  Owyho  2:07%,  Diablo  2:09%, 
Demonlo  2:11%  and  others.  The  third  dam  of  Miss 
Adbell  is  Lizzie  by  Austerlitz.  an  own  brother  to  the 
famous  horse  Lodi,  whose  races  with  Norfolk  are 
remembered  by  all  California  horsemen.  It  is  inter- 
estlng  to  know  that  the  winner  of  this  year's  Ken- 
tucky   Futurity    is    by   a    California   bred   stallion   and

(From  the  Horse  Review.) 

Several    weeks    ago    considerable    stir    was    caus 
among   horsemen   by  press   dispatches  sent   out   fr< 
Columbus,  which  stated  that  at  a  matinee  there,  Se 
1,    the    unmarked    four-year-old    filly    Easter    Dire 
had  paced  a  public  mile  in  2:03%.     The  time  was 
extraordinary    that   most   people   were   inclined   to 
incredulous.      I    was    one    of    them,    but    I    am    so 
longer,    for   I    have   verified    the    performance   by   t 
testimony   of  a   number   of   good   men    who    timed 
This  is  the  fastest  public  or  private  trial  ever  ma. 
by  a  green  pacer.     Her  Grace  held  the  honors  pre 
iously,    she    having    paced    at    Memphis    last    fall 
2:04%. 

Easter  Direct  is  owned  by  E.  A.  Gammon,  of  Com, 
land,  Cal..  and  is  controlled  by  Ed  Mills  who  ow 
Searchlight  2:03%.  Mr.  Mills  broke  her  in  the  sun 
mer  of  1904  in  California  and  in  six  weeks  drove  t 
a  mile  in  2:25.  In  January  of  this  year  she  w 
turned  over  to  Ira  Goodrich,  the  young  man  w 
brought  out  Tuna,  2:08%  and  Brilliant  Girl.  Goo 
rich  tells  me  that  on  May  10,  at  Pieasanton.  Cal., 
worked  her  a  mile  in  2:08%,  and  at  Detroit  one 
2:07%.  She  was  sick  for  several  weeks  in  mid-seas 
and  was  let  up  on  for  the  time  being.  She  is  a  go 
looking  brown  filly,  standing  about  15.2  hands,  ar. 
like  all  her  famous  family,  is  posessed  of  a  lot 
substance — a  stout  full  made  one.  Her  front  sho 
weigh  five  ounces  each  and  in  addition  she  wears 
two-ounce  toe  weight.  Quarter  and  ankle  boots  cor 
plete  her  rigging.  Mr.  Mills  stated  that  she  wou 
return  to  California  in  a  few  weeks  to  winter  ai 
will  be  raced  in  the  big  stakes  in  1906. 

Many  of  the  best  horses  on  the  circuit  have  goi 
wrong  and  are  out  of  it.  An  exception  to  this  chaj 
ter  of  misfortunes  is  the  fast  mare  Zephyr  2:07 
When  she  started  her  campaign  at  Windsor  it  w. 
common  remark  that  she  wouldn't  last  three  week 
But  she  has  improved  steadily  and  now  looks  like 
2:06  trotter  on  good  footing.  I  believe  had  she  bet 
sound  all  season  it  would  have  taken  a  Sweet  Mar 
to  measure  her. 

The  East  View  Farm  has  sustained  all  manner 
bad  luck  this  season.  The  fast  three -year- old  tro 
ter,  The  Phantom,  got  off  after  reaching  the  Ea 
from  Pieasanton,  but  later  rounded  to  and  becan 
right  good.  Charley  DeRyder  had  hopes  of  winnir 
a  piece  of  the  Review  and  Kentucky  Futurities  wit 
him,  but  after  reaching  Columbus  the  colt  was  takt; 
with  a  high  fever.  He  may  not  be  able  to  race  i 
either  of  these  events. 

Helen  Norte  2:09%  is  a  new  addition  to  the  2:: 
list.  She  hails  from  Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  and  wa 
bred  and  is  owned  by  Judge  Thomas  H.  Brents,  t 
that  city.  H.  B.  Rutherford,  her  present  driver,  ; 
responsible  for  her  present  education.  He  tells  n 
that  she  was  a  natural  pacer,  the  cross-hobbles  b( 
ing  required  to  make  her  find  the  trotting  trie: 
This  was  done  when  she  was  a  yearling.  When 
two-year-old  she  started  a  fewT  times,  taking  a  recor 
of  2:26%.  As  a  three-year-old  her  campaign  was  fc 
the  most  part  against  aged  horses,  she  taking 
record  of  2:17.  She  is  now  five  and  is  a  little  mai 
in  height — stands  but  15  hands — and  a  deceiving  on 
as  to  her  strength.  When  you  look  her  over  you  fin 
she  is  made  to  order.  Rutherford  tells  me  that  sh 
was  laid  up  after  racing  this  spring  at  Denver,  and  i 
just  now  getting  her  strength  back.  She  sustained 
mild  case  of  "founder"  in  the  Mountain  city,  and  fc 
a  long  time  had  to  be  let  up. 

The  great  race  mare  Anzella  2:06%  foaled  a  fill 
by  John  A.  McKerron  2:04%  last  week.  Isn't  it  un 
fortunate  that  it  was  not  a  colt?  Every  visitor  t 
Pat  Shank's  farm,  where  McKerron  holds  court,  tell 
the  same  story  about  the  foals  by  him  out  of  M) 
Billings'   mares.     All  are   enthusiastic. 

The  horses  of  Mr.  Billings'  stable  are  ■  in  super 
condition,  excepting,  of  course,  Lou  Dillon  1:58^ 
who  has  been  ailing  all  season.  Lou  is  being  jogge 
and  little  has  been  done  with  her  since  her  appear1 
ance  at  Chicago  during  the  Inter-City  matinee.  Th 
track  there  was  in  wretched  condition  and  the  worl 
she  did  over  it  did  her  no  good.  Mr.  Billings  saile 
for  Europe  some  days  ago  and  it  was  his  desire  tha 
Lou  be  let  up  on  till  next  spring.  She  is  in  fine  flesl 
now,  weighing  as  much  as  she  ever  did  in  her  Ira 
"Doc"  Tanner  tells  me  that  Mr.  Billings,  before 
leaving,  spoke  of  breeding  her  in  the  spring  to  Johi* 
A.  McKerron,  and  then  keying  her  up  for  a  few  fare 
well  efforts  against  time.  By  this  it  must  not  be  conj 
eluded  that  Lou's  case  is  hopeless.  It  means  simply 
that  she  got  too  much  of  it  last  season  and  Tannerl 
as  well  as  her  owner,  figures  that  another  Severn 
gruelling  at  this  time  would  be  suicidal. 

FAST   STALLION    FOR   SALE. 


: 


One  of  the  gamest  and  best  race  horses  ever  seer  H 
on  the  circuit  was  Meridian  2: 12%,  son  of  Simmo-[ 
colon  and  a  Sidney  mare.  He  is  now  advertised  foi| 
sale  by  Mr.  Robert  Brown  of  Petaluma  and  we  havt, 
no  hesitation  in  recomending  this  horse  as  a  good  on^ 
for  any  live  horseman  to  make  money  with  in  the 
stud.  Meridian's  oldest  foals  are  four  years  old  and 
they  are  all  handsome,  stylish  with  good  action  and 
speed,  and  all  larger  than  he.  The  compact  stallion 
that  breeds  large  is  in  nearly  every  instance  the  best 
horse  to  brefed  to.  Geo.  Wilkes.  Direct,  Sidney  Dil- 
lon, Directum  and  many  other  great  sires  were  of  this 
sort.  Meridan  can  be  purchased  for  a  price  that  Is 
ridiculously  low,  and  an  active  man  can  pay  for  the 
horse  and  earn  a  neat  sum  beside,  from  the  results 
of  one  year's  service  fees.  The  horse  is  sound  and 
can  lower  his  record.  He  was  a  good  winner  when 
raced  and  was  never  outside  the  money.

When  the  small  breeder  and  the  farmer  learn  thai 
it  is  greatly  to  their  advantage  to  attend  these  horse 
shows  that  they  may  learn  what  the  type,  style  or 
fashion  in  horses  is,  just  as  dry  goods  and  millinery 
buyers  go  to  the  markets  in  spring  and  fall  to  study 
styles,  the  horse  show  will  be  upon  a  sound  and  sub- 
stantial basis.  When  secretaries  learn  to  reach  for 
and  secure  "attractive"  exhibits,  and,  above  all,  to 
to  learn  how  to  exploit  and  advertise  these  exhibits, 
the  halcyon  days  of  the  horse  show  will  have  arrived. 

The  days  of  "fashion,"  "break-into-society-this- 
way,"  "be-in-the-swim"  and  stuff  of  that  sort  are 
played  out.  If  they  are  not,  they  should  be.  The 
days  of  donations,  hold-ups,  subscriptions,  etc.,  are 
done.  The  horse  show  is  a  valuable  educational  in- 
stitution. As  such  it  deserves  success,  and  will,  if 
properly  managed,  stand  upon  an  enduring  founda- 
tion. 


Horse  World:    To  a  novice  in  the  business,  all  legs 

look  alike  to  a  certain  degree,  but  when  it  comes  to 

close   investigation   and    compare    parts   and 


i track  at  Grosse  Pointe— and  he  built  it.  He  organ- 
ized  the   American    Trotting   Association    because    he 

'was  dissatisfied  with  the  National.  He  owns  a  turf 
journal  published  in  Chicago;    he  is  president  of  the 

.Grand  Circuit— in  short,  Mr.  Campau  is  and  for  years 
has  been  the  leading  figure  in  the  harness  racing 
world  If  he  is  really  going  to  quit,  and  quit  for 
good,  his  action  is  a  misfortune  to  the  harness  horse 
interests,    as,    in    spite 


of    his    faults.    Mr.    Campau 


says  a  writer  in  an  agricultural  exchange. 
In  every  horse,  however,  there  are  necessary  qualities 
of  foot  and  limb,  irrespective  of  breed.*  It  is  said,  for 
instance,  that  "no  foot,  no  horse,"  but  every  horse  has 
feet,  and  most  of  them  have  fairly  good  ones,  pro- 
vided they  are  set  on  good  legs.  It  is  the  leg,  then, 
that  we  shall  first  consider. 

It  is  a  common  saying  that  a  horse  should  have 
"flat  bone."  This  is  but  partially  correct,  for  there 
is  no  such  thing  as  flat  bones  in  the  leg  of  a  horse. 
The  leg  bones  are  like  the  blade  of  a  razor  in  shape, 
with  the  back  of  the  blade  turned  to  the  front  and 
the  thin  edge  to  the  back.  Such  a  bone  presents  a 
flat  surface  looked  at  from  the  side,  but  cut  through 
a  section  will  have  an  elliptical  shape.  When  the  leg 
appears  to  be  round  that  fact  is  caused  by  lack  of 
development  of  back  tendons  and  the  presence  of  a 
surplus  covering  of  coarse  tissue.  What  we  are  after 
is  a  "flat  leg."  This  is  denoted  by  a  clean  practically 
tissueless  bone  from  the  back  of  which  the  tendons 


has  done  mo're  than  any  other  man  to  build  up  and     rest  49.    His  second  dam  was  Telltale,  dam  of  Tattler     stand  Qut  dlstinctly    and  s0  tnat  they  can  be  readiiv

Trotter  and  Pacer— A  driver  who  approached  the 
judges  at  the  meeting  at  Prospect  Park,  Baltimore, 
last  week  with  a  request  for  a  little  favor  in  the 
matter  of  the  time  which  his  horse  had  made  m  win- 
ning a  heat,  failed  to  secure  the  desired  concession, 
but  he  did  not  come  away  empty-handed,  for  the 
indignant  judges  "soaked"  a  fine  of  $25  against  him, 
as  a  balm  to  their  outraged  feelings.  It  was  not  any 
too  much,  for  a  man  who  does  not  know  any  better 
than  to  offer  such  an  affront  to  the  judges  needs  to 
have  the  impropriety  of  the  proceeding  impressed 
upon  him  in  a  substantial  manner.  It  is  altogether 
probable  that  drivers  who  ask  to  have  the  time  sup- 
pressed utterly  fail  to  appreciate  the  significance  of 
their  request.  The  rules  specially  forbid  it  under 
heavy  penalties,  and  the  driver  who  solicits  it  there- 
fore puts  himself  in  a  position  of  asking  an  official 
to  perpetrate  a  fraud  and  render  himself  liable  to 
punishment  and  disgrace  for  his  (the  driver  s)  spec.a 
accommodation.  This  is  unreasonable,  to  put  it 
mildly,  and  it  is  no  wonder  that  a  self-respecting 
judge  will  treat  such  a  proposition  as  an  insult.  The 
fact  ought  never  to  be  lost  sight  of  that  whenever 
a  driver  is  favored  by  having  the  time  set  back  for 
the  purpose  of  keeping  his  horse  in  a  certain  class, 
it  is  done  at  the  expense  of  the  rights  and  interests 
every  other  man  who  is  compelled  to  compe  e 
ainst  that  horse  in  the  future.  If  he  has  fairly 
raced  himself  into  a  faster  class,  and  is  not  com- 
pelled  to   start   in   that   class,   he    dishonestly    cheats 


every  horse  that  he  may  thereafter  defeat.     As  long 
-i  the  record  classification  exists  suppressio 
ust   be    considered    to    be    as    reprehensible    as    any 
er  species  of  fraud  which  afflicts  the  sport,  and  it 
not  be  too  severely  discountenanced. 

American  Horse  Breeder:     It  seems  somewhat  sin- 


ter  was  by  Medoc,  a  son  of  American  Eclipse,  and  his 
dam  was  Cherry  Elliott,  a  thoroughbred  daughter  of 
Sumpter,  by  Sir  Archy.  The  third  dam  of  Dr.  Herr 
was  Flea  by  Medoc;  his  fourth  dam  by  Sumpter  and 
his  fifth  dam  by  Doublehead,  a  son  of  Turpin's 
Eclipse,  by  imported  Diomed. 

Mambrino  Chief  and  his  descendants  have  almost 
universally  been  more  successful  in  perpetuating  speed 
through  the  female  than  the  male  line.  It  is  doubt- 
ful if  any  other  of  the  trotting  families  has  derived 
""better  greater  benefit  from  thoroughbred  crosses  than  this. 
The  fastest  trotters  and  best  campaigners  got  by 
Mambrino  Chief  also  his  most  successful  sons  and 
daughters,  also  grandsons  and  grandaughters,  as  per- 
petuators  of  speed,  have  in  the  majority  of  cases  in- 
herited close  and  strong  infusion  of  thoroughbred  race 
winning  blood.  Mambrino  King  is  a  good  illustration 
of  this.  His  sire,  Mambrino  Patchen,  was  by  Mam- 
brino Chief,  and  from  a  daughter  of  the  thoroughbred 
Gano,  by  American  Eclipse.  The  second  dam  of  Mam- 
brino Patchen  was  by  a  thoroughbred  and  his  third 
dam  had  the  appearance  of  a  thoroughbred,  although 
she  was  a  natural  pacer. 

The  dam  of  Mambrino  King  was  by  Alexander's 
Edwin  Forrest,  a  horse  that  had  no  known  trotting  in- 
heritance. He  was  from  running-bred  ancestors  on 
both  sides,  yet  he  got  two  trotters  that  made  stand- 
ard records.  The  second  dam  of  Mambrino  King  was 
a  running-bred  daughter  of  Birmingham,  he  by  Stock- 
holder, a  son  of  Sir  Archy.  The  second  dam  of  Mam- 
brino was  mated  with  Mambrino  Chief,  the  paternal 
grandsire  of  Mambrino  King,  and  the  produce  was 
Fisk's  Mambrino  Chief  Jr.,  that  was  the  sire  of  six 


trotters  with  standard  records,  and  whose  daughters 
the  record  classification  exists  suppression  of  time     produoed  24  -with  standard  records,  19  of  which  were 

pacers.  The  superiority  of  Mambrino  King  as  a  sire, 
to  Fiske's  Mambrino  Chief,  was  without  doubt  due 
largely  to  his  additional  thoroughbred  inheritance, 
the  same  element  that  made  Mambrino  Patchen  so 
much  more  successful  as  a  transmitter  of  speed  than 
his  own  sire   Mambrino   Chief.

Horse  Show  Monthly:  It  appears  to  the  writer  that 
promoters  and  secretaries  of  horse  shows,  especially 
those  given  in  the  West,  have  been  lacking  in  the  in- 
telligent and  broad  qualities  of  promotion  and  pub- 
licity. It  seems  that  the  foundation  of  show  patron 
age  had  not  been  laid  upon  sound  ground. 


grasped  in  the  hand.  From  such  a  tendon,  and  bone 
in  the  best  draft  horses  of  the  Clydesdale  breed  and 
the  improved  English  Shire  the  hair  should  grow  as 
a  silky  fringe.  Such  hair  or  "feather,"  as  it  is  often 
called,  should  not  hide  the  bone  and  tendons  nor 
surround  the  leg.  Neither  should  it  be  coarse  and 
kinky,  like  the  dead  horse  hair  stuffing  of  a  sofa,  or 
be  so  profuse  in  growth  as  to  be  plainly  a  nuisance. 
Hair  of  right  quality  is  a  sure  evidence  of  flat,  com- 
pact, "gun-metal"  bone,  and  as  a  rule  goes  along 
with  clean,  well-marked  tendons.  Such  bone  is  seen 
in  the  best  class  of  breeds  mentioned,  but  it  is  by  no 
means   special   possession   of   these   breeds. 

"When  we  find  a  clean  leg  and  good  joints  the 
spring  of  the  pasterns  should  be  the  next  considera- 
tion, for  no  matter  how  nice  may  be  the  quality  of 
the  bone  and  tendons  these  qualities  are  largely  de- 
stroyed by  a  steep  pastern,  which  makes  the  action 
stilty,  stiff  and  sure  to  cause  trouble  from  severe  con- 
cussion. We  require  oblique  pasterns  to  offset  con- 
cussion— to  gradually  or  easily  convey  the  concussion 
from  the  feet  to  the  pillar  of  the  leg  bones  above  it. 
Looking  at  the  profile  of  the  leg  the  angle  of  the 
front  of  the  hoof  should  be  exactly  that  of  the  pas- 
tern. Any  serious  departure  from  an  angle  of  forty- 
five  degrees  is  to  be  considered  a  grave  error  not  to 
be  set  right  by  paring  or  shoeing,  and  to  be 
rejected,  if  possible,  in  breeding.  A  springy  pastern 
possessed  by  a  horse  having  clean  bone  and  well- 
marked  tendons  with  or  without  the  fine  hair  alluded 
to  above  may  be  taken  as  indicative  of  free,  straight 
action. 

Action  and  quality  go  together,  and  it  remains  in 
examining  a  horse  to  see  that  this  is  the  case  when 
he  is  moved  at  a  walk  or  trot.  If  his  legs  are  prop- 
erly set  and  his  joint  under  proper  control  he  will  go 
and  come  without  "paddling"  or  "wobbling."  The 
feet  will  be  carried  in  a  straight  line,  and  rise  and 
fall  rythmically,  showing  the  shoe  soles  both  fore  and 
aft.  A  plummet  line  dropped  from  the  center  of  the 
knee  and  pastern  joint  and  back  of  the  foot  and  the 
same  line  hung  from  the  hip  joint  should  cross  the 
center  of  the  foot  and  divide  the  gaskin  in  the  mid- 
dle. By  this  rule  it  will  be  easy  to  notice  whether 
a  leg  good  or  bad  is  in  or  out  of  the  proper  position 
and  whether  the  hind  leg  is  crooked  or  sickle-hocked, 
hence  prone  to  curbs  and  other  ailments.

A    DEMAND    THAT   CAN    BE    SUPPLIED. 

ncisco,   October   1st,   1905. 
.    greatest  problems  of  the  times  now   to 
solve  is  the  breeding  with  some  degree  of  certainty  oi 
the   high    class    carriage   horse.    The   breeder's   ability 
to   produce  upon  California   soil     the     equal     of     the 
world's  best  light  harness  horse  performers  has  been 
thoroughly  demonstrated.     The  breeding  of  all  classes 
-  ie  animals  is  conducted  by  individual  enter- 
ut  growth    of    ideas,    therefore    the 
fixity    "f    type    is    greatly    affected    or    destroyed    alto- 
gether by  the  variety  of  opinions  entertained  by  peo- 
ple  of  different   tastes    engaged    in    breeding.     Hence 
there  -       >ral  lack  of  that  uniformity  of  character 

so   highly   esteemed  and   so   necessary   in   animals   that 
are  used  for  breeding. 

Realizing  that  the  highest  degree  of  success  in  all 
things  is  only  accomplished  through  the  united  and 
persistent  efforts  of  enthusiastic  and  intelligent  work- 
ers, anu  being  inspired  by  an  ambition  to  achieve 
greater  perfection,  more  uniform  production,  higher 
physical  qualities,  greater  endurance,  more  speed  and 
more  action  in  the  breed  of  carriage  horses  of  our 
own  country,  the  United  Slates  Government  is  now 
working  to  the  establishment  of  a  model  which  shall 
become  a  standard  to  which  all  coach-saddle  horse 
breeders  may  look  as  lypefying  in  form  and  Qualities 
the    ideal   breed   of   carriage   horses. 

There  are  four  styles  of  horses  for  which  there  is  a 
genuine  and  earnest  demand  all  over  the  land  to-day. 
and  for  this  demand  there  is  not  sufficient  supply 
and  in  some  instances  no  source  of  supply.  First, 
the  handsome  coach  horse,  second  the  handy,  sound 
work  horse,  third  the  prospective  2:05  or  better  light 
harness  performer,  and  fourth  the  handsome  and 
gentle  in  all  places  saddle  horse. 

The  coach  horse  must  be  from  15  to  16  hands,  hand- 
some, docile,  of  fine  form,  good  solid  color,  gentle  in 
all  places,  of  high  show  action  all  around,  and  able 
to  pull  a  coupe  or  carryall  from  seven  to  ten  miles 
an   hour. 

The  valuation  and  requirements  of  the  handsome 
handy  work  horse,  and  the  speedy  light  harness  per- 
former, are  well  known  to  my  readers.  Such  horses 
will  sell  readily  and  at  good  prices  in  any  part  of 
the  world,  and  whoever  breeds  them  will  find  himself 
breeding  to  a  profit  and  a  good  profit  at  that. 

All  over  the  country  one  hears  the  question  asked, 
"Where  can  I  find  a  pair  of  fine  appearing  carriage 
horses  from  15  to  16  hands,  stylish,  sound  and  service- 
able?" The  question  does  not  get  one  satisfactory 
reply  in  ninety-eight.  Why  is  this?  Is  it  because  of 
unwillingness  to  pay  a  good  price?  No;  the  gentle- 
man that  wants  them  is  as  a  general  rule  a  liberal 
buyer  and  an  offer  of  one,  two,  three,  or  even  five 
thousand  dollars  for  such  a  pair  is  not  uncommon. 
It  is  not  price,  nor  is  it  lack  of  activity  to  hunt  for 
them,  either  on  the  part  of  the  gentleman  who  wants 
them,  or  the  dealer  whose  business  it  is  to  supply 
them,  for  there  is  no  part  of  this  broad  land  in  which 
there  is  a  probabality  of  finding  such  horses,  where 
they  have  not  been  sought. 

It  is  astonishing  to  me  that  the  California  breeders 
who  pride  themselves  upon  the  keenness  of  their  per- 
ceptions have  not  foreseen  and  prepared  themselves 
to  meet  so  lucrative  a  demand,  and  one  that  is  grow- 
ing year  by  year  and  right  in  the  face  of  the  auto- 
mobile fright.  As  long  as  there  is  a  world  there  will 
be  gentlemen  of  wealth,  and  as  long  as  there  is 
wealth  there  will  be  a  demand  for  every  high  class 
carriage  horse.  The  horse  and  the  automobile  are 
useful  and  each  has  its  place.  The  admirer  and 
owner  of  the  machine  is  generally  a  lover  of  the 
horse. 

The  natural  instincts  of  the  American  people  natur- 
ally incline  them  to  the  admiration  of  a  great  horse 
of  any  class,  but  they  should  not  be  swept  into  the 
whirlpool  of  horse  breeding  on  sentiment  alone.  It 
takes  more  than  the  love  of  the  horse  to  be  a  suc-

Many  will  ask  what  is  the  shape  and  what  are  the 
requirements  that  constitute  a  carriage  horse?  He 
should  be  harmonious  in  all  proportions,  such  as  high 
withers:  deep  brisket:  prominent  breast;  well  sprung 
ribs;  good  flank;  head  of  medium  size,  clean  and 
bony;  jowl  not  too  prominent:  frontal  broad;  large 
clear  eye;  ear  small  at  base,  of  medium  length  and 
■sharp  at  point;  throttle  small;  neck  long  with  slight 
crest:  sloping  shoulders;  prominent  muscles:  back 
short  and  powerfully  muscled  over  the  loins;  curve 
to  the  tail;  strong  hocks,  legs  and  feet,  with  flat 
bone  and  large  cords;  trotting  action  quick,  high  and 
round,  free  and  clean,  with  not  too  long  a  stride, 
rossed  on  mares  of  a  few  handsome 
branches  of  the  trotting  families  might  and  probably 
would  give  us  what  is  wanted — the  horse  of  the 
future.

CINCINNATI     RACES. 


Only  a  fair  crowd  witnessed  the  Grand  Circuic 
races  at  Oakley  Park  Friday  and  the  favorites  were 
unable  to  land  any  money.  In  the  first  heat  of  the 
2:15  trot  Albert  C.  won  the  first  heat,  but  Boreazelle. 
the  second  choice,  took  the  next  three  easily.  Maud 
Keswick,  the  favorite,  succeeded  in  winning  the  first 
two  heats  of  the  2.06  pace,  but  Hazel  Patch  took  the 
next  three  heats  and  the  race. 

Gold  Dust  Maid  won  the  2:12  trot  in  straight  heats. 
Mainland,  the  favorite,  finished  sixth  in  the  first  heat 
and  was  beaten  out  a  neck  in  both  the  second  and 
third  heats.  In  the  third  Mainland  was  winning,  but 
he  broke  ten  feet  from  the  wire.     Summaries:

LEXINGTON     RACES. 


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

The  2:  ns  pace  resulted  in  a  great  contest,  Maud 
Keswick  the  Canadian  mare,  finally  winning  in  the 
sixth  heat. 

The  2:09  'lass  pace  went  to  Texas  Rocker  in

A  rank  outsider  won  the  two-year-old  division  if 
the  Kentucky  Futurity  on  Wednesday  at  Lexington, 
the  race  going  to  the  bay  filly  Lightsome  in  straight- 
heats.  She  was  bred  by  James  L.  Dodge  of  Paris, 
Kentucky,  who  drove  her  in  the  race.  The  filly  is  by 
Constantine  2:12%  (a  son  of  Wilkes  Boy  and  inbred 
to  Mambrino  Patchen  on  his  dam's  side),  out  of  tnf 
pacing  mare  Bourbon  Light  2:1S%  by  Bourbon 
Wilkes.  Ed.  Custer,  winner  of  the  Kentucky  Stock 
Farm  Futurity  at  Oakley  this  year,  was  the  favorite 
for  the  race,  but  had  a  bad  start  in  both  heats.  Vera 
Prodigal  by  Prodigal  out  of  Vera  Capel  2:07%  was 
second  in  the  first  heat  and  third  in  the  second,  in 
which  she  was  beaten  out  by  Chas.  Marvin's  filly 
Siliko  by  Moko.  who  came  near  beating  Lightsome 
for  the  heat.  The  time,  2:1414  and  2:16,  has  only 
been  beaten  once  in  this  race,  in  1902,  when  Kath- 
erine A.   won   in   2:14   flat. 

■  The  2:06  trot  resulted  in  a  sensational  contest,  al- 
though Wentworth  was  distanced  in  the  first  heat. 
After  Dr.  Strong  and  Snyder  McGregor  each  took  a 
heat.  Norman  B.  came  along  and  captured  the  third 
and  fourth  after  interesting  contests.  Dr.  Strong  was 
the  original  favorite.  The  time  marks  a  new  world's 
record  for  four  heats.  Boreazelle  won  the  2:14  trot, 
and  W.  A.  Clark  Jr.'s  Morone  was  a  good  second. 
The  2:12  pace  went  to  Lyddite.  McCoy  of  Washing- 
ton Courthouse.  O..  was  suspended  for  not  driving 
Lyddite  out.  Snow  was  put  up  and  won  the  race.

Mr.  W.  H.  Lumsden's  filly  Bonalet  by  Bonnie  Din 
won  the  pacing  division  of  the  Kentucky  Futurity  on 
Thursday  in  straight  heats,  taking  a  record  of  2:09% 
in  Ihe  first  heat.  Miss  Adbell  was  second.  It  seems 
that  two  daughters  of  Adbell  were  entered  in  the 
Kentucky  Futurity  for  this  year  and  both  by  the  same 
name.  One  proved  the  winner  of  the  trotting  di- 
vision, and  the  other  won  second  money  in  the  pacing 
division.  The  pacing  filly  is  out  of  Luzelle  2:1514  by. 
Patron.  The  five-year-old  bay  mare  Ethel's  Pride, 
the  crack  daughter  of  Directum  and  Ethelyn,  won  the 
classic  Transylvania  race  in  straight  heats,  reducing 
her  prvious  mark  in  the  second  heat  by  three-fourths 
of  a  second.  The  race  was  a  very  lucky  one  for 
Ethel's  Pride.fas  she  just  managed  to  beat  Ed  Geer's 
gelding  Turley  in  the  first  two  heats,  while  Mainland 
came  with  a  rush  down  the  stretch  in  the  third  heat 
and  almost  nosed  out  the  mare  for  first  position.  John 
Caldwell  won  fourth  money  in  this  race. 

The  2:  IS  class  trot  had  so  many  entries  that  it  had 
to  be  divided.  In  the  first  division  the  mare  Miss

nary  of  this  event,  in  which  there  were  ten  start-

Dan  Patch  paced  a  great  mile  in  an  effort  to  beat 
his  record.  He  just  equalled  his  previous  mark  of

PERALTA  REACHED  NEW  ZEALAND  SAFELY. 

Our  readers  will  remember  an  Item  printed  in  this 
paper  early  in  August  this  year,  stating  that  Mr.  E. 
Topham  of  Milpitas,  Santa  Clara  county,  had  sold 
to  Mr.  H.  J,  Tasker  of  Christchurch,  New  Zealand, 
through  an  advertisement  in  the  "Breeder  and  Sports- 
man," the  bay  stallion  Peralta,  sired  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes  2:16%.  dam  Rose  McKinney,  dam  of  Almaden 
(2)  2:22%,  by  McKinney  2:11%.  The  stallion  was 
shipped  to  New  Zealand  on  August  10th  on  the  steam- 
ship Sonoma  of  the  Oceanic  line,  and  reached  his 
destination   safely  as  the  following  letter  will  show. 

Christchurch.  September  11.  1905. 
F.    W.    Kelley,   Esq..    Proprietor    of   the    Breeder    and 
Sportsman : 

The  stallion  Peralta  which  you  purchased  for  me 
has  arrived  in  New  Zealand  without  a  blemish  on  him 
and   in    splendid    condition. 

Have  seen  a  lot  of  horses  landed  off  of  boats  one 
time  and  another,  but  have  never  seen  one  in  such 
good  shape  and  heart  as  was  Peralta.  There  wasn't 
a  ruffle  on  him.  Am  sure  you  will  be  pleased  to 
hear  this  after  the  trouble  you  must  have  taken 
to  deliver  the  horse  so  satisfactory.  There  is  a  lot  of 
credit  due  to  Mr.  J.  K.  Koughan,  the  chief  officer  on 
the  S.  S  Sonoma,  as  several  of  the  passengers  told 
'me  that  he.  Mr.  Koughan,  -paid  every  attention  pos- 
sible to  the  horse.  He  was  packed  and  padded  beau- 
tifully and  I  don't  think  he  could  have  possibly  come 
to  any  harm  in  any  weather.  Of  Peralta  himself  am 
more  than  pleased.  Is  just  the  sort  of  horse  to  suit 
the  mares  over  here  and  am  in  hope  of  him  trotting 
fast  some  of  these  days.  It  must  seem  poor  pay 
to  you,  sir,  but  I  tender  you  my  most  sincere  thanks 
for  the  many  kindnesses,  promptness,  and  attention 
you  have  given  me  in  securing  Peralta.  Am  quite 
sure  you  have  done  the  business  more  satisfactory 
to  myself  than  I  could  have,  had  I  been  in  California. 
Tours  most  truly, 

H.    J.    TASKER. 
Empire  Hotel,  Christchurch,  New  Zealand.

OFFERS  SEVERAL  GOOD  ONES. 


NEWS  rND  NOTES. 


Miss    Patchen    2: 09%    is    the    fastest    two-year-old 
pacing  filly  of  the  season. 


An  effort  will  be  made  to  place  Todd  2:13%,  the 
half  brother  of  Sadie  Mac  2:06%,  in  the  2:10  list  at 
Lexington. 


Bon  Voyage  2:12%   by  Expedition,  is  now  the  fast- 
est three-year-old  trotting  colt  of  the  year. 


Chas.  A.  Durfee,  formerly  owner  of  the  stallion 
McKinney,  has  a  number  of  high  class  and  highly 
bred  horses  that  he  wants  to  sell.  Mr.  Durfee's 
residence  is  in  Oakland  and  the  horses  are  at  the  San 
Jose  track,  and  getting  pretty  expensive,  for  a  man 
who  does  not  own  pasture  land  but  has  to  rent  box 
stalls,  to  keep.  There  are  four  black  mares  by  Mc- 
Kinney, a  weanling  filly  by  Lecco  2:09%,  and  a  year- 
ling by  Iran  Alto  2:12%,  both  out  of  Rose  McKinney, 
the  dam  of  Almaden  2:22%  as  a  two-year-old,  win- 
ner of  the  Breeders'  Futurity  and  Iccident  Stakes. 
One  of  the  McKinney  mares  is  out  of  Stemwinder,  the 
dam  of  Directum  2:05%.  another  is  out  of  Babe  by- 
Ferdinand,  son  of  Strathmore,  and  another  is  out  of 
Fontanita  by  Antevolo,  second  dam  Fontana.  dam  of 
Silas  Skinner  2:17.  The  mare.  Rose  McKinney,  is 
out  of  Queen  Bee  by  Forest  Clay,  grandam  by  Al- 
mont  Lightning,  sire  of  Zombro's  dam.  This  mare 
Durfee  says  is  the  finest  lady's  driving  mare  in  the 
country,  being  afraid  of  nothing  on  earth,  and  will 
eat  her  oats  off  a  steam  engine  or  an  automobile  if 
necessary,  and  will  stand  on  the  street  untied  long 
enough  for  a  lady  to  enter  a  millinery  store  and 
select  a  new  hat.  That's  quite  a  while,  but  Mr.  Dur- 
fee says  the  mare  will  do  it.  He  also  has  a  three- 
year-old  McKinney  stallion  for  sale — 'the  best  bred 
one  living."  and  a  McKinney  gelding  with  a  record  of 
2:17%.  Mr.  Durfee  wants  to  sell  and  the  prices  he 
asks  are  reasonable. 


Mrs.  Emma  Murray,  owner  of  the  stallion  Diablo 
2:09%,  died  in  this  city  last  week  from  heart  dis- 
ease. 


C.  K.  G.  Billings  sailed  with  his  family  September 
20th  for  Europe.  He  expects  to  return  to  this  coun- 
try in  November  for  a.  short  stay  and  will  then  return 
to  the  other  side  where  he  will  remain  for  a  year  or 
more,   traveling  throughout   foreign   lands. 


The  management  of  the  Belmont  Driving  Club. 
Philadelphia,  is  endeavoring  to  arrange  a  match  race 
between  Frank  Yoakum.  The  Friend  and  Owyho.  A 
reasonable  purse  will  be  offered,  with  an  extra  purse 
for  each  heat  below  2. OS.  Three  heats  are  suggested 
and  the  week  of  October  23  as  the  time. 


Mr.  Frank  Overacker  of  Centreville,  Cal.,  has  pur- 
chased a  nomination  in  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  for 
his  filly  foal  of  1905  by  Arner  2:17%,  own  brother  to 
Don  Derby  2.04%.  Diablo  2:09%  and  Demonio 
2:11%.  dam  Fannie  Vasto  by  Vasto.  Mr.  Overacker's 
filly  is  large  and  finely  developed  and  a  natural  pacer 
of  great  promise.  Mr.  Overacker  purchased  the  nom- 
ination from  C.  A.  Durfee.  whose  mare  Lasman, 
originally  nominated  in  the  stake,  failed  to  foal. 


The  Colorado  Springs  trotter  Woody  R.  fell  dead 
from  the  rupture'  of  a  blood  vessel  while  finishing  in 
the  lead  in  the  2:19  class  at  Cincinnati.  The  horse 
was  owned  by  E.  G.  Davis  and  was  valued  at  $5,000. 


If  you  own  a  thoroughbred  don't  fail  to  read  the 
big  stake  advertisement  of  the  New  California  Jockey 
Club   in  this   issue. 


Wentworth  now  holds  the  trotting,  record  of  the 
season  for  the  Grand  Circuit  and  is  tied  with  Tiverton 
as  the  fastest  race  gelding,  having  stepped  the  second 
heat  of  his  winning  race  at  Columbus  in  2:04%.  Dr. 
Strong  was  right  at  his  side  at  the  finish. 


Meridian    2:12  1-4, 


There  have  been  an  even  half-dozen  miles  trotted 
and  paced  over  the  Readville  track  as  follows:  Star 
Pointer,  1:59%  and  1:59%:  Dan  Patch,  1:59%;  Audu- 
bon Boy,  1:59%:  Prince  Alert,  1:59%;  and  Lou  Dillon, 
2:00.  There  have  been  several  others  within  a  frac- 
tion of  "even  time."  So  Readville  has  a  right  to  the 
title  of  "the  two-minute  track." 


An  advertiser  in  this  week's  issue  announces  that 
he  has  a  McKinney-Sidney  filly  for  sale.  She  -will 
be  four  years  old  next  spring,  is  a  dark  bay,  and 
broken  to  drive.  Read  the  advertisement  for  further 
particulars. 


After  Susie  N.  beat  Bon  Voyage  at  Columbus,  W. 
A.  Clark.  Jr.,  owner  of  the  colt. offered  Tommy  Mur- 
phy $17,500  for  the  daughter  of  Moko,  but  the  offer 
was  respectfully  declined. 


Dr.  J.  W.  Day  of  Rochester  has  a  four-year-old 
colt  by  Bingen  2:06%.  that  he  recently  worked  a  mile 
over  the  Syracuse  track  in  2:12%,  last  half  in  1:04, 
last  quarter  in   31%   seconds. 


Sweet  Marie  reduced  her  record  to  2:04%  in  a 
race  against  time  at  Readville  last  Wednesday.  The 
quarters  were  0:31%,  1:02.  1:32%,  2:04%.  McDonald 
believes  he  will  yet  drive  her  a  mile  in  two  minutes. 


Five  horses  by  The  Director  General,  son  of  Director 
2:17,  are  reported  to  have  beaten  2:12  this  season. 
Sadie  Fogg,  3,  is  credited  with  trotting  a  mile  at 
Lexington  recently  in  2:10%.  William  P.,  4,  a  pacer, 
trotted  in  2:09%  also  at  Lexington,  General  Starr,  a 
green  trotter,  owned  in  New  England,  stepped  in  2:11 
and  The  Seargent  trotted  a  mile  at  Terre  Haute  in 
2:14.  The  Director  General  is  owned  by  that  popular 
reinsman,  George   Starr. 


Canada  has  not  yet  bred  a  2:00  horse,  but  is  getting 
near  the  line.  Gallagher  2:03%  is  the  fastest  pacing 
gelding.  Maud  Keswick  2:04%  the  fastest  pacing 
mare,  Wentworth   2:04%   her  fastest  trotter. 


The  Ward  totalisator  was  used  at  the  Hollister 
meeting  last  week.  The  association  received  more 
money  for  its  share  of  the  percentage  than  it  ever 
received  before,  and  the  public  were  well  pleased  with 
the  system. 


When  a  horse  becomes  old  its  teeth  become  long 
and  sharp  on  the  edges  until  many  times  it  is  almost 
impossible  to  eat  food.  When  an  aged  horse  thus 
refuses  or  fails  to  eat  well  and  gaunts  up  easily  when 
at  work,  the  chances  are  that  the  teeth  need  atten- 
tion. It  seems  strange,  but  this  is  the  last  thing  that 
some  folks  think  about  when  a  horse  is  out  of  con- 
dition. The  grinders  are  located  well  back  in  the 
mouth  where  they  are  not  easily  examined.  Have  the 
teeth   examined   and   dressed   by   a  veterinary. 


Some  of  the  dairy  farmers  in  Vermont  find  it  profit- 
able to  raise  a  good  colt  or  two  every  year.  S.  D. 
Caldwell.  Enosburg  Falls.  Vt,  is  one  of  them  In  a 
recent  letter  he  states  that  he  sold  a  two-year-old 
May  last,  for  $300.  was  offered  $350  two  weeks  ago 
for  a  six-year-old  and  has  a  14-3  hand  yearling  that 
is  worth  $200.  All  three  of  the  above  were  got  by 
Young  Wildidle  (2:22%).  a  California  bred  horse, 
whose  sire  was  Electioneer  and  whose  dam,  Beatrice, 
was  by  the  thoroughbred  Wildidle.  second  dam  by 
Mohawk  Chief  and  third  dam  by  John  Nelson,  son  of 
imported  Trustee. 


Norman  B.  by  Phallas  won  the  fastest  four  heat 
race  ever  trotted  when  he  won  the  2:06  class  trot  at 
Lexington  last  Wednesday.  The  race  was  best  two 
heats  in  three.  Dr.  Strong  won  the  first  heat  in 
2:05%.  Snyder  McGregor  took  the  second  in  2:05%. 
and  Norman  B.  the  next  two  in  2:06%   and  2:07%. 


J.  W.  Lipson,  of  Hanford,  has  purchased  a  Flower 
City  cart  from  the  San  Francisco  "Wheel  and  Novelty 
Company,    Sixteenth    and   Valencia   streets,   this    city. 

All  the  Rancho  del  Paso  thoroughbreds,  comprising 
thirty  stallions  and  five  hundred  brood  mares,  are  to 
be  sold  at  auction  in  New  York  in  December.  The 
preliminary  announcement  appears  in  our  advertising 
columns. 


A  coal  black  gelding  by  Knight,  sound  and  gentle 
and  with  speed,  is  offered  for  sale  by  a  San  Jose 
advertiser   in   this   issue. 


One  of  the  surprises  of  the  year  is  the  black  trotting 
gelding.  'Wentworth,  which  defeated  George  G.  2:05% 
at  Columbus  last  week,  and  took  a  record  of  2:04%, 
the  fastest  mile  by  a  trotter  this  year.  Wentworth 
went  through  the  Grand  Circuit  several  seasons  ago, 
and  was  looked  upon  as  an  outclassed  trotter,  but 
he  appears  to  have  taken  a  new  lease  of  life. 


Mendovena,  a  six-year-old  daughter  of  Mendocino 
2:19%  out  of  Avena  2:19%  by  Palo  Alto  2.08%,  trot- 
ted a  good  race  at  Pekin,  Illinois.  September  27th. 
where  she  won  second  money  and  was  a  good  second 
in  2:15%. 


Mr.  A.  Edstrom  of  Merced  advertises  an  18-months- 
old  road  pacing  stallion  of  the  famous  Hal  family  for 
■  sale.  This  is  the  blood  that  produces  extreme  race 
winning  speed  at  the  pacing  gait.  Look  over  the  ad- 
vertisement. This  may  be  just  the  colt  you  are  look- 
ing for. 


Here  is  a  new  variety  of  horse  feed.  The  Hollister 
Advance  says  that  Blessing  Brothers  of  that  city 
purchased  fifty  tons  of  bird  seed  straw  in  the  San 
Juan  valley  to  be  used  as  bedding  for  their  horses, 
and  find  that  the  horses  all  eat  it  with  avidity  and 
thrive  upon  the  diet. 


Adrian  Wilkes,  son  of  George  Wilkes,  is  another  sire 
to  be  represented  by  two  new  2:40  per  formers  this 
season,  his  two  being  Lillian,  pacer,  2:0S%,  and  Miss 
Adrian,   trotter,    2:09%. 


Charlie  Niles,  one  of  the  most  familiar  figures  on 
the  Western  trotting  turf,  drove  his  last  race  at 
Libertyville  last  week  and  has  bid  good-by  to  the 
sulky  for  good.  For  a  quarter  of  a  century  Niles 
has  been  identified  with  the  development  of  the  har- 
ness horse  in  the  West  and  probably  has  given  three 
or  four  score  records  in  standard  time.  He  became 
conspicuous  first  when  he  brought  ou  the  pacer  Roy 
Wilkes  2:06%,  and  he  was  in  his  stable  when  he 
was  sold  for  $10,000.  At  Paris,  111.,  on  September  S. 
he  was  thrown  from  a  sulky  and  received  painful 
injuries.  In  fact,  it  was  miraculous  that  he  was  not 
killed,  as  several  horses  stepped  right  over  him;  and 
this  fact  has  something  to  do  with  his  retirement. 


The  remarkable  success  which  has  attended  the 
county  fair  meetings  all  over  the  United  States  this 
season  is  but  one  more  proof  of  the  growing  popu- 
larity of  the  light  harness  horse. 


THE   HORSE. 


Here  is  a  Bombay  native  student's  essay  on  the 
horse,  says  the  Liverpool  Post: 

The  horse  is  a  very  noble  quadruped,  but  when  he 
is  angry  he  will  not  do  so  He  is  ridden  on  the  spina] 
cord  by  the  bridle  and  sadly  the  driver  places  his  foots 
on  the  stirrup  and  divides  his  lower  limbs  across  the 
saddle  and  drive  his  animal  to  the  meadow.  He  has 
a  long  mouth  and  his  head  is  attached  to  the  trunk 
by  a  long  protuberance  called  the  neck.  He  has  four 
legs  ,two  are  in  the  front  side  and  two  are  afterward. 

These  are  the  weapons  on  which  he  runs:  he  also 
defends  himself  by  extending  those  in  the  rear  in  a 
parallel  direction  toward  his  foe.  but  this  he  does  only 
when  in  a  vexatious  mood.  His  fooding  is  generally 
grasses  and  grains.  He  is  useful  to  take  on  his  back 
a  man  or  woman  as  well  as  some  cargo.  He  has  power 
to  run  as  fast  as  he  could. 

He  has  got  no  sleep  at  night  time  ami  always  stand- 
ing awaken.  Also  there  are  horses  of  short  sizes. 
They  do  the  same  as  the  others  are  generally  doing. 
There  is  no  animal  like  the  horse;  no  sooner  they  see 
their  guardian  or  master  they  always  crying  for 
fooding.  but  it  is  always  at  the  morning  time.  They 
have  got  tall,  but  not  so  long  as  the  cow  and  other 
surh  lik'-  similar  animals.

The  region  about  Webber  lake  was  once  a  splendid 
hunting  country  for  mountain  quail  and  grouse.  In 
the  "flats"  of  that  section  the  birds  found  an  ideal 
breeding  place.  Now  all  is  changed,  the  country 
where  once  bevies  of  the  beautiful  plumed  quail  and 
the  pine  grouse  reigned  supreme  is  a  scene  of  nau- 
seating  desolation. 

Early  this  season  the  anglers  and  other  visitors  at 
Webber  lake  noticed  the  presence  of  many  quail  and 
grouse,  the  birds  had  a  most  favorable  year  and  large 
broods  of  "chicks"  were  anticipated.  The  season  had 
been  an  early  one  and  it  was  sanguinely  believed  that 
the  birds,  old  and  young,  would  have  a  chance  to 
thrive  and  get  away  to  the  higher  breeding  grounds 
before  the  bands  of  sheep,  which  are  annually  sent 
up  in  the  Sierra  valleys  to  feed,  came  on  the  country 
like  a  devastating  scourge. 

The  birds  bred  plentifully,  but  before  they  were 
ready  to  get  away  the  sheep  were  upon  them.  Nests 
and  eggs  were  destroyed  and  numberless  young  chicks 
were  trampled  to  death.  The  sheep  came  into  the 
country  and  spread  over  every  bit  of  territory  where 
a  blade  of  vegetation  was  to  be  found.  What  they 
did  not  devour  they  destroyed,  for  the  animal's  were 
so  numerous  that  not  a  square  foot  of  country  es- 
caped a  harrowing  from  countless  sheep  trotters. 
Even  the  willows  were  denuded  of  every  leaf  as  high 
up  as  the  nibbling  sheep  could  reach.  Furthermore, 
the  presence  of  thousands  of  sheep  in  the  flats  was 
the  cause  of  a  perceptible  unsanitary  condition  of  the 
dusty   ground. 

The  same  conditions  will  apply  to  the  Sierra  val- 
ley, also  a  splendid  quail  and  grouse  country  here- 
tofore. Sportsmen  who  have  enjoyed  a  yearly  hunt- 
ing trip  to  these  sections  claim  that  the  birds  are  on 
the  road  to  a  certain  extermination.  Where  once 
were  many  bevies  of  SO  to  100  mountain  quail,  now  it 
is  hard  to  find  a  bevy  of  15,  and  these  are  all  old 
birds.  As  with  the  quail  so  it  is  w7ith  the  grouse. 
And  worse  news,  the  same  conditions  prevail  in  many 
sections  of  Nevada. 

To  offset  this  lamentable  state  of  affairs  several 
local  sportsmen  propose  to  lease  five  or  six  sections 
(640  acres  each),  in  the  vicinity  of  Webber  lake,  which 
are  owned  by  the  railroad.  Friendly  influences  are  to 
be  induced  to  augment  this  area  by  securing  leases 
also  of  surrounding  tracts.  The  territory  leased  will 
produce  as  much  revenue  to  the  owners  as  the  sheep 
graziers  pay.  The  lessees  propose  to  sub-let  to  cat- 
tlemen. The  cattle  herders  will  practically  become 
patrolmen  of  the  leased  lands  and  will  keep  off  the 
sheep  men.  In  this  manner  a  reserve  breeding  sec- 
tion for  quail  and  grouse  will  be  secured.  However 
laudable  the  project  is,  it  will  be  the  saving  of  only 
a  fly-speck  of  territory,  comparatively,  against  the 
annual  mutton  raiders. 


WASHINGTON     GAME    AND     FISH     LAWS. 


Anglers    who    have    tried  P  iper    Mill    recently 

few    8    and    LO   In   h    flsh    in    the

ington game  laws,  the  following  summary  is  pre- 
sented. 

The  open  season  began  in  Washington  on  Septem- 
ber 1st.  A  comparison  of  the  northern  statutes  with 
the  California  laws  is  interesting.  Among  other 
things  it  w7ill  be  noticed  that  the  license  system  is 
in  vogue  and  that  many  useful  birds  are  protected.

The  following  information,  issued  by  the  county

terest:

field   and    Whitman    counties. 

To  hunt  deer  on  any  island  in  the  State. 

It  will  be  seen  from  the  foregoing  that  the  variety 
of  upland  birds  is  a  satisfactory  one  for  the  most 
enthusiastic  sportsmen.  We  note  a  prohibition  against 
the  curing  of  game  fish,  so  called,  and  the  prohibition 
of  the  use  of  nets. 

Grouse,  prairie  chickens,  sage  hens,  partridges, 
pheasants,  or  ptarmigan  are  the  birds  which  the  law 
allows  hunters  to  shoot  after  the  first  of  September,

all  water  fowl,  such  as  ducks,  geese,  sandhill 
eerie,  swan,  snipe  and  brant  are  also  in  open  season. 

here  are  many  splendid  spots  for  hunting  near 
T'-oma  in  Pierce  county.  Those  well  informed  state 
tit  there  is  no  particular  section  that  can  be  desig- 
ned as  especially  favorable.  One  year  a  certain 
aia  may  have  been  teeming  with  game,  while  the 
nJ;t  season  it  is  deserted.  Pierce  county  is  noted  for 
it  fine  game  birds  and  many  parts  of  the  country 
ai  usually  well   stocked  with   game. 

'or  some  time  the  law  has  prohibited  the  killing 
o  pheasants,  but  this  year  male  birds  may  be  shot 
tyween  October  15  and  December  31. 

"hose  who  have  been  in  that  country  recently  state 
tit  grouse  are  not  very  abundant,  but  again,  other 
rl'orts  show  that  there  are  not  a  few  of  the  birds 
ffll  they  will  probably  be  also  shot  in  large  numbers. 

""he  fees  for  hunters'  licenses  are:  County  residents, 
$  non-residents,  $5;  non-resident,  aliens,  $50;  state 
r  idents,  $5;   non-residents,  $10;  none-resident  aliens, 


Sheriffs,  deputy  sheriffs,  constables,  city  marshals 
to|  police  officers  and  forest  rangers  are  ex-officio 
fane  wardens  and  may  arrest  without  warrant  any 
fc-son  violating  any  of  the  game  laws  of  the  State. 

Unless  otherwise  provided  for,  a  penalty  of  not  less 
tin  $10  nor  more  than  $500,  with  costs  or  imprison - 
r-nt  for  violation  of  the  game  laws  of  the  State  is 
pvided  for.  Possession  of  any  game  birds,  fish  or 
aimals  out  of  season  is  prima  facie  evidences  of 
vlation  of  the  laws. 


GOSSIP  FOR  SPORTSMEN. 


/New  Game  Bag. 

)ne  of  the  cleverest  devices  for  carrying  a  string 
c  ducks  or  other  game,  camp  duffle  or  any  of  the 
ual  dunnage  hunter's  find  it  necessary  to  carry  to 
ed  from  camp,  ark  or  shack  is  the  recent  invention 
c  Wm.  Bay,  a  well  known  member  of  the  Field  and 
';le  Club  and  a  popular  sportsman  as  well.  This 
iitrivance  is  a  double  ender  to  be  slung  on  the 
gaulder.  The  ends  are  bellied,  the  middle  forming 
compact  strap  with  an  opening  slit.  The  birds  can 
)  laid  in  the  bag  without  taking  them  from  the 
rap,  thus  keeping  them  in  good  shape  and  condi- 
gn. The  bag  opening  is  arranged  with  clasps  so  that 
jything  can  be  put  in  or  taken  out  easily.  In- 
jle  pockets  and  ventilating  holes  are  provided.  All 
i  all  the  bag  is  away  ahead  of  anything  else  in  its 
1  e  and  is  the  most  perfecting  outing  bag  before  the 
•jblic  to-day.  It  must  have  met  with  the  approval 
i  experienced  sportsmen  judging  from  the  rush  of 
ilers  received  by  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.,  53S 
:irket  street,  who  are  the  agents  for  the  "Perfection 
uting  Bag." 


Ill   River  Fishing. 

Recent  reports  from  Eel  River,  Weymouths  and 
artuna,  are  to  the  effect  that  the  fishing  is  excel- 
:it.  Plenty  of  fish,  none  under  a  half  pound,  and 
•ge  steelheads  are  being  taken.  John  Butler  and  J. 
mgall  one  day  last  week  landed  70  nice  trout.  But- 
.-  in  addition  hooked  and  landed  a  16-pound  steel- 
ad. 


>r  the   Fall   Season. 

A  variety  of  special  innovations  for  sportsmen,  as 
ill  as  staple  goods,  are  now  on  sale  at  Shreve  Barber

ew    Decoys. 

In  stormy  weather  low  setting  decoys  do  not  show 
>  well.  Some  sportsmen,  to  overcome  this,  so  fix 
eir  decoys,  particularly  the  wooden  canvasbacks, 
at  they  will  loom  up  larger.  This  is  a  decided  ad- 
aitage  in  luring  the  birds  from  a  distance. 
To  meet  a  long  felt  want  there  is  now  on  the  mar- 
rt  a  large  sized  decoy — the  Mammoth — for  both 
an"  and  "sprig"  shooting.  These  new  stools  have 
et  the  approval  of  every  sportsman  who  has  seen 
em.  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  have  them.  Get 
>ur  orders  in  early  for  the  stock  on  hand  is  going 
st.  They  have  also  a  fine  line  of  bluebill,  teal  and 
her  decoys;  guns,  shell  boxes;  in  fact  everything  a 
'ortsman  wants  for  marsh  or  upland  shooting. 


ild   Rice   in  California. 

We  are  informed  by  Mr.  Chas.  H.   Shaw   that  wild 

ce  was   planted   several  years  ago   in   the   preserves 

the  Colusa  Gun  Club,  which  are  located  on  lands 
longing  to  the  Crocker  Estate.  The  experiment  was 
success,  the  seed  took  root  and  grew.  At  the  present 
me  the  wild  rice  is  to  be  found  growing  on  hundreds 

acres  of  fresh  water  marsh  land  in  Colusa  county. 


urlingham   Gun  Club. 

Anent  the  abolition  of  pigeon-shooting  at  Hurling- 
im,  London  Truth  says :  It  was  suggested  that 
lere  were  other  questions  in  connection  with  the 
anagement  of  the  club  which  required  considera- 
,  3n.  At  an  outcome  of  the  controversy  that  arose, 
committee  comprising  several  of  the  leading  mem- 
,  !rs  has  been  appointed  to  inquire  Into  the  club's 
i  lances.  In  some  quarters  there  was  an  attempt — 
)t  altogether  justified  by  the  facts  of  the  case — to 
iow  that  the  pigeon-shooting  involved  an  unduly 
iavy  expenditure.  It  is  now  believed,  however,  that 
Is  rather  in  the  matter  of  certain  official  salaries 
id  official  sinecures  that  extravagances  have  pre- 
liled,  and  that  in  these  and  other  directions  a  con- 
derable  saving  can  be  effected  without  any  impair- 
ent  of  the  attractions  of  the  club. 


BRITISH    COLUMBIA    FIELD   TRIALS. 

The  third  annual  trials  of  the  British  Columbia 
Field  Trials  Club  were  started  at  Ladnor,  near  Van- 
couver, B.  C ,  on  September  21st  and  closed  on  the 
25th.      Major  J.   M.   Taylor   judged. 

The  Derby  had  19  entries,  and  the  winners  were. 
J.  W.  C.  Rodfield  first,  Tony  Spot  second.  Uncle 
Dudley  and  Aunt  Marie  equal  third. 

The  All  Age  stake  was  concluded  on  Saturday  after- 
noon,  the  winners  being  as  follows: 

First — "Policy  Girl,"  black,  white  and  tan  English 
Setter  bitch,  owned  by  J.  W.  Considine  of  Seattle; 
J.  E.  Lucas,  handler. 

Second — "Kilgarif."  black,  white  and  tan  English 
Setter  dog,  owned  by  J.  E.  Terry  of  Sacramento;  W. 
B.  Coutts,  handler. 

Equal  third — "Diamond  Spot."  black  and  while 
Pointer  bitch;  S.  Hansen,  owner  and  handler  "Ab- 
bott's Jock,"  liver  and  white  Pointer  dog,  owned  by 
H.   H.   Abbott;    S.   Hansen,   handler. 

The  stake  had  22  starters,  of  which  ten  were  taken 
into  the  second  series.  Among  the  dogs  running 
there  were  no  fewer  than  16  previous  winners  in 
Washington,  British  Columbia,  California  and  Eastern 
trials,  including  Ch.  Peach  Blossom,  winner  of  the 
Illinois  championship  in  1903.  This  fact  and  the  fact 
that  Mr.  W.  B.  Coutts,  the  California  handler,  stated 
before  the  trials  that  the  dog  winning  third  place 
in  such  company  would  be  worth  at  least  $3,000. 
shows  the  status  of  the  British  Columbia  Club  this 
year. 

The  Membership  Stake  was  also  run  off  on  Satur- 
day, resulting  as  follows: 

First — "Point,"  owned  and  handled  by  D  G.  Mac-" 
donell. 

Second — "Roy's  Lady,"  owned  and  handled  by  Miss 
W.  E.  Davie. 

Third — "Lady  Roberts,"  owned  and  handled  by  J. 
D  G.  Abbott. 

The  winners  of  first  and  second  received  handsome 
cups  presented  by  Mr-  C.  W.  Minor  of  Victoria  and 
Mr.  H    Abbott  of  Vancouver. 

The  Championship  Stake  was  the  concluding  event 
of  the  trials  and  was  run  off  Monday.  Owing  to  some 
dissatisfaction  among  the  owners  of  dogs  over  Major 
Taylor's  awards,  only  two  dogs  entered  this  event, 
ten  other  entries  being  withdrawn.  Mr.  H.  H.  Ab- 
bott's "Jock"  was  first  and  Mr.  D.  G.  Macdonell's 
"Point"    second. 

"Munzie"  Lucas  got  there  at  last  and  landed  a 
good   dog  for  first  in   the  All  Age. 

Miss  Winnifred  Davie  of  Victoria  is  a  thorough 
sportswoman;  she  has  had  entries  in  both  the  B.  C 
and  Pacific  Northwest  trials  and  has  run  a  winning 
dog  previously.  May  good  luck  keep  pace  with  her 
judgment    and    enthusiasm. 


Challenge  cup  in  1900  and  1901  for  the  best  Fox  Ter-

I'p  was  a  son  of  the  famous  Go  Bang  out  of  Belle 
Duyal,  the  latter  being  sister  to  three  celebrated 
champions  in  England— Belmont  Vivid,  Belmont  Ves- 
per and  Rowton  Rebecca.  He  was  whelped  in  Sep- 
tember, 1S9S,  and  has  left  progeny  that  will  be  of 
future  benefit  to   the  breed. 


DOINGS    IN    DOGDOM. 


They    Were    California    Bred. 

A  communication  received  from  one  of  the  exhib- 
itors at  the  recent  San  Mateo  show  questions  an 
award  made  for  the  best  kennel  of  California  Collies, 
and  is  as  follows: 

"I  showed  three  Collies  for  Mi'.  Arthur  Letts  of 
Los  Angeles  at  San  Mateo.  There  was  a  special  of- 
fered by  Mr.  Jas.  Moreland  for  best  kennel  of  three 
California  bred  Collies. 

"I  am  informed  that  a  protest  against  Letts'  Col- 
lies was  made,  claiming  that  the  dogs  are  not  Cali- 
fornia  bred. 

"The  facts  are  these:  Letts  bought  Old  Hall  Syl- 
via in  England  and  had  her  bred  to  Wishaw  Leader 
in  England.  The  bitch  arrived  safely  in  California 
and  after  getting  here  gave  whelp  to  the;e  three 
dogs.     Are  they  California  bred  or  not? 

'  The  rule  of  the  A.  K.  C.  does  not  cover  their  case 
as  it  only  specifies  that  a  bitch  owned  in  America 
and  sent  to  Europe  to  be  bred  and  which  is  returned 
and  whelps  here  shall  have  her  progeny  called  Ameri- 
can bred.  It  seems  to  me  that  as  both  bitches  were 
'  served  in  England  and  both  arrive  in  this  country 
and  whelp  here,  that  if  the  one  litter  is  American  bred 
the  other  must  surely  be  so  called. 

"It  seems  unlikely  that  this  question  has  iiol  been 
thoroughly  thrashed  out  in  the  councils  of  the  A.  K. 
C.  many  a  time  and  I  am  in  hopes  that  you  might 
recall  a  case   which  would  serve  as  a   precedent. 

"You  will  notice  that  the  rule  regarding  American 
bred  dogs  refers  only  to  bitches  sent  from  lure  abroad 
and  has  not  been  changed  dining  the  recent  altera- 
tions of  rules.  Will  you  let  me  hear  what  you  think 
about    it." 

We  can  not  recall  any  case  that  might  serve  as  a 
precedent.  It  seems  to  us  that  the  rule,  inferentially, 
covers  this  particular  case.  The  bitch  was  owned  by 
an  American  fancier.  The  fact  that  the  bitch  had  not 
been  in  the  LTnited  States  before  being  bred,  Cor  her 
American  owner,  in  England,  is  within  the  spirit  of 
the  law,  if  not  the  letter.  Barring  the  sending  of  the 
bitch  to  England  by  Mr.  Letts,  the  case  is  in  com- 
pliance with  the  intention  of  the  rule.  The  domieil 
of  the.  bitch  was  in  California,  the  home  and  resi- 
dence of  the  owner. 

Under  the  circumstances,  it  strikes  us  forcibly  thai 
the  protest  should  not  stand. 

A    Good    One    Gone. 

The  famous  wire-hair  champion  Hands  Up  died  in 
New  York,  September  29th,  from  an  acute  attack  of 
jaundice.  Hands  Up  so  far  is  the  only  American-bred 
Fox  Terrier  to  successfully  compete  against  the 
cracks  in  England.  In  spite  of  the  handicap  imposed 
by  the  quarantine  regulations,  he  made  the  trip  to 
England  in  1900  and  on  his  appearance  at  the  Crystal 
Palace  won  third  in  the  open  class  with  four  cham- 
pions and  six  other  winners  behind  him,  second  In  the 
limit  class  and  first  in  the  novice  class.  He  also 
won  first  in  the  open  clas  at  Liverpool.  He  then  re- 
turned   to    this    country.      On    this    side    he    won    the 


National    Beagle   Club   of   America. 

Mr.  Thomas  Shallcross  of  Providence,  R.  I  and 
Mr.  Thomas  D.  Griffith  of  Redmand,  Md„  have  ac- 
cepted the  invitation  of  the  National  Beagle  Club 
of  America  to  judge  at  its  Sixteenth  Annual  Field 
Trials,  to  be  held  at  Stevenson,  Baltimore  county,  Mr]., 
during  the  week  commencing  October  30th.  1905.  Ste- 
venson is  in  Baltimore  county.  Maryland,  about  twelve 
miles  from  the  City  of  Baltimore,  and  is  reached  from 
the  Union  station,  Baltimore,  on  the  Green  Spring 
branch  of  the  Northern  Central  railroad,  Baltimore 
division  of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad. 

The  headquarters  of  the  club  during  the  trials  will 
be  at  Avalon  inn.  Stevenson.  Baltimore  county,  Md. 

The    Dog    Book. 

To  the  lover  of  the  Pointer,  part  IV  of  Mr.  James 
Watson's  work  appeals  strongly.  Chapter  XVIII  is 
devoted  to  this  breed  in  a  most  interesting  manner 
Among  the  illustrations  is  a  particularly  good  por- 
trait of  Ch.  Oregon's  Jessie  II.  a  stylish  bitch  well 
known  to  the  Coast  fanciers.  Field  Spaniels,  Cock- 
ers. Norfolk  Spaniels,  Welsh  Spaniels  or  Springers, 
and  the  Irish  Water  Spaniel  are  treated  in  no  less  an 
entertaining  spirit  than  the  Pointer.  The  illustrations 
are  high  class.  The  part  maintains  the  high  standard 
that  was  inferred  by  the  excellence  of  the  first  parts. 
The  work  is  one  that  appeals  to  the  student  and  is  a 
necessary   textbook  for  the  fancier.

'em,  says  the  Union. 
-     ,oters  state  that   the   treatment  ac- 
ted by  the  •plain"  folks  was  the  •■best  ever."  and 
that    the   arrangement   of   the   grounds   and   the    gen- 
eral management  of  the  tournament  was  all  that  the 
most    discriminating    shotgun    •■crank"    could    desire. 
In   addition   to    the   trophies   and   medals   and   honors 
the  Sacramento  "bunch"  brought   home   a   goodly   lot 
,.f   prizes  from  the  merchandise  events. 

The    visiting    shooters    have    only    the    kindliest    of 

feelings    for    their    interior    sportsmen    friends,    and 

that  at  the  Sacramento  tournament  next  spring 

the  visitors  will  be  as  lucky  as  were  the  local  shoot- 

.  is  at  Biggs. 

The  first  annual  tournament  of  the  Medford  Gun 
Club  was  held  September  22d  and  23d  with  nftj 
shooters  present.  The  program  consisted  of  10  events. 
200  taregets  edoh  day.  20.000  of  which  were  trapped. 
The  weather  conditions  were  perfect  and  the  early 
predictions  that  good  scores  would  be  made  were  ful- 
filled. 

The  shoot  was  held  beneath  a  grove  of  massive  oaks, 
which  with  tents  dotted  here  and  there  and  tables 
loaded  with  fruit  and  eatable  of  all  kinds  made  a 
very  attractive  ground  for  the  smashing  of  mud  sau- 
cers. 

Besides  the  Oregon  shooters  and  manufacturers 
agents  there  were  present:  W.  F.  Crosby  of  O'Fallon, 
111.:  Fred  Gilbert  of  Spirit  Lake.  la.;  Rollo  Heikes  of 
Dayton,  O.:  H.  C.  Hirschy  of  Minneapolis.  Minn.; 
J.  S.  Fanning  of  Xew  York;  Thos.  Marshall  of  Keiths- 
burg.  111.,  all  professionals  of  the  first  calibre  .and  C. 
M.  Powers  of  Decatur,  111.,  the  clever  amateur.  Among 
the  trade  representatives  were  C.  D.  Plank  of  Den- 
ver. C.  A.  Haight.  E.  Holling.  W.  S.  Wattles,  H.  T. 
Hovt.  W.  H.  Seaver  of  San  Francisco,  F.  L.  Carter 
and  F.  C.  Howe.  M.  O.  Feudner,  Ed  Schultz,  W.  H. 
Varien  of  Pacific  Grove,  and  J.  W.  Bradrick  were  also 
present. 

Crosby  won  the  high  average  in  the  professional 
class  by  breaking  394  out  of  400.  and  was  presented 
with  a  beautiful  mounted  Mongolian  pheasant  for 
doing  the  trick.  He  also  made  runs  of  126  and  101 
without  a  miss.  Gilbert  came  next  with  392,  and 
made  runs  of  US  and  154.  The  latter  is  within  three 
birds  of  the  Pacific  Coast  record,  which  was  made  at 
San  Francisco  by  Mr.  Crosby  in  the  Interstate  tour- 
nament. Heikes  followed,  only  missing  10,  and  made 
a  run  of  117  without  a  miss.  Fanning  created  a  sepa- 
ration with  SSI.  Marshall  with  356  and  Hirschy  with 
361.  C.  M.  Powers  shot  in  his  usual  good  form, 
only  missing  14.  C.  D.  Plank  shot  well  the  first  day 
and  retired  on  the  second  on  account  of  illness. 

First  general  average  for  amateurs  was  won  by  C. 
M.  Powers,  second  by  M.  O.  Feudner,  and  third  by 
W.  H.  Varien. 

The  lady  shooters  shot  well,  first  general  average 
going  to  Mrs.  Young  of  Portland,  second  to  Mrs.  Sny- 
der of  the  same  city,  and  third  to  Mrs.  Holmes  of 
Salem. 

Miss  Hazel  Enyart.  after  breaking  the  first  target 
she  ever  shot  at,  retired  with  100  per  cent,  beating 
Crosby  for  high  average;  besides,  she  has  the  honor 
of  having  killed  the  bear  which  was  served  to  the 
shooters  at  Hotel  Nash,  with  mountain  trout  also  on 
the  bill  of  fare. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  ladies  of  the 
"Booster  Club"  for  the  clever  manner  in  which  they 
entertained  the  shooters,  and  if  our  readers  do  not 
believe  what  the  program  said,  "that  they  would  be 
made  to  go  some,"  ask  Marshall,  Gilbert,  Powers  and 
a  few  more  who  were  duly  initiated.  The  "Hoo  Hoo 
Squad"  must  not  be  oveiioked.  as  they  went  through 
a  very  difficult  drill  to  the  great  amusement  of  all 
present. 

The  shoot  ended  at  an  early  hour  on  the  second  day, 
and  for  the  benefit  of  many  spectators  who  arrived 
a  little  late  Messrs.  Marshall,  Heikes,  Hirschy.  Gil- 
hert  and  Powers  shot  an  exhibition  match  of  50  tar- 


gets each.  Mr.  Powers  making  a  clean  score. 

F.  L.  Carter  and  W.  A.  Hillis,  representatives  of 
the  Peters  Cartridge  Company,  gave  an  exhibition  of 
fancy  rifle  shooting,  which  was  interesting  and  greatly 
enjoyed  by  all. 

A  number  of  shooters  from  Medford,  Ashland  and 
other  points  also  participated  and  displayed  excellent 
marksmanship.  A  few  of  them  did  nearly  as  well  as 
some  of  the  professionals.  They  will  be  heard  from 
in  future  tournaments.  Most  of  the  shooters  left 
in  a  special  car  Saturday  evening  for  Portland  and 
other  northwest  cities,   en   route   home. 

The  San  Francisco  sportsmen  on  their  return  from 
Medford  were  unanimous  in  high  praise  of  the  Web- 
footers  for  their  good  fellowship.  W.  S.  Wattles 
states  that  the  shoot  was  a  big  success  from  every 
standpoint.  The  spontaneous  hospitality  extended  the 
visitors  by  the  citizens  of  Medford  was  unremitting 
and  bounteous.  Much  credit  for  the  success  of  the 
shoot  is  due  T.  E.  Enyart  and  Edgar  Hafar,  who  will 
be  remembered  as  participating  here  at  the  Interstate 
shoot.  The  Medford  grounds  are  splendidly  appointed 
and  beautifully  situated.  The  visitors  and  partici- 
pating shooters  were  the  guests  of  the  Medford  la- 
dies, who  served  an  appetizing  lunch  on  the  shoting 
grounds  each  day.  The  tables  were  beautifully  deco- 
rated and  presided  over  by  Mesdames  B.  P.  Theiss, 
H.  E.  Boyden,  J.  A.  Perry,  A.  M.  Short.  J.  G.  Van 
Dyke,  J.  F.  Reddy.  H.  W.  Streets,  T.  E.  Pottinger.  E. 
A.  Welch.  C.  H.  Hafer,  I.  L.  Hamilton.  C.  H.  Edmunds. 
Miss  J.  D.  Bowling  and  Miss  Hazel  Enyart. 

Following  the  shoot  the  sportsmen  "were  entertained 
at  an  operatic  performance  in  the  Medford  Theater. 
The  trip  was  a  memorable  one  and  most  enjoyable  in 
every  respect.

THE  DAIRY  COW. 

From  a  paper  read  by  L  A.  Sweet 
lefore  the  Minnesota  Dairymen's  Con- 
ention  in  1903,  the  following  extracts 
re  taken: 

The  dairy  cow  is  the  cow  that  under 
.vorable  surroundings  and  with  a  suf- 
;ient  amount  of  the  proper  kind  cf 
ood,  will  produce  a  reasonable  profit 
,n  her  value  after  paying  for  feed  and 
are. 

Any  cow  that  will  not  do  this  should 
ot  be  classed  as  a  dairy  cow  no  mat- 
er what  her  breed. 

In  the  selection  of  a  typical  da:ry 
ow  a  few  points  might  be  observed 
hat  would  serve  the  buyer  well.  First, 
lie  should  be  reasonably  young  and 
lave  the  appearance  of  health.  Second. 
:he  should  have  a  reasonably  large  ud- 
Ler,  full  before  and  behind,  with  plenty 
if  room  for  expansion,  with  medium 
;ized,  well  placed  teats,  far  enough 
.part  to  allow,  free  movements  of  the 
,ands  and 'fingers  without  interfering 
1,-ith  each  other;  her  udder  should  be 
ree  from  flesh  and  capable  of  a  large 
xpansion. 

Third,  the  milk  veins  should  be  large 
.nd  kinked  and  should  enter  the  body 
yell  at  the  front  with  a  large  well  or 
lassage  for  the  vein  into  the  body, 
'ourth,  she  should  have  a  large  bar- 
el,  showing  large  digestive  organs. 

Her  frame  should  be  heavy  enough  to 
airy  around  her  digestive  organs,  with 
vhat  muscle  that  is  needed  to  keep 
he  machinery  of  life  in  motion.  Her 
jody  should  be  wedged  shaped. 

Her  tendency  should  be  to  not  lay 
in  flesh,  and  last  but  not  least,  she 
should  be  able  to  perform  under  good 
reatment,  making  at  least  250  pounds 
»f  butter  per  year. 

If  the  farmers  of  this  state  will  stop 
jtnd  think  that  butter  from  the  dairy 
:ow  that  produces  from  250  to  400 
>ounds  of  butter  yearly  can  be  made 
it  a  cost  for  feed  not  to  exceed  $30 
fer  year,  and  that  it  is  about  the  only 
iranch  of  farming  that  does  not  have 
ts  way-ups  and  way-downs,  as  the 
>eef  business  and  the  pork  business  do, 

think  there  would  be  more  of  us  hunt- 
ng  for  the  special  dairy  cow.  We  have 
ess  cows  in  the  United  States  today 
.nan  we  had  ten  year.-*  ago  according 
o  the  population,  and  prices  have  been 
jood  for  butter  and  reasonably  steady 

I  will  quote  you  the  New  York  mar- 
Sit  for  a  few  years  back:  Average  for 
«96,  lS^c;  '97,  19y2c;  '98,  19V2c:  '99, 
l^c;  1900,  22.4c;  1901,  21.6c;  ,1302. 
;4.7Gc;  and  for  1903  it  will  probably 
.verage  about  as  high  as  1902. 

The  good  dairy  cow  will  make  from 
hree-fourths  of  a  pound  to  \y±  pounds 
f  butt_,-  daily  on  a  ration  that  would 
I'e  only  one-third  of  a  feed  for  a  fat- 
ening  steer.  The  butter  will  sell  for 
.bout  2c  per  poui.d  under  the  prices 
uoted  above  and  the  beef  will  hardly 
.verage  5c  per  pound. 

Right  here  let  me  say  that  my  herd 
3  just  a  good  average  of  a  dairy  herd. 

In  1901  they  made  me  $58.79  worth  of 
roduct  each,  with  a  cost  for  feed  and 
asture  of  $26. 2f)  per  cow,  or  a  net 
rofit  of  $32.54  besides  the  skim  milk 
nd  buttermilk.  And  in  1902  with  prac- 
Ically  the  same  cost  for  feed  and  pas- 
ure  they  made  me  a  profit  of  $41  54, 
nd  everything  indicates  a  still  larger 
rofit  this  year. 

Some  say,  "O,  you  pet  your  cows." 
'hat  is  right,  we  do.  And  another 
lan  will  say,  "How  much  did  you  feed 
our   cows   to   get   that  return?"     And 

hen  I  tell  them  what  the  feed  cost 
nd  that  I  have  charged  them  a  good 
rice  for  all  they  have  eaten,  they  pass 
a  and  shake  their  heads  and  think 
robably  I  am  telling  what  is  not  true, 
armers!  there  isn't  one  of  you  but 
Bo  can  make  as  much  profit  from 
iur.  cows  as  the  man  that  keeps  the 
liry  cow,  if  you  will  keep  as  good  a 

ass  of  dairy  cows  and  give  them  the 

ght  kind  of  care  and  feed. 

As.  to  the  relation  this  dairy  cow 
bids    to    diversified    farming    I    would 


Every  farm  that  is  kept  in  proper 
mdition  for  the' raising  of  crops  must 
we  some  fertilization. 
This  means  that  some  kind  of  stock 
flst  be  kept  on  the  farm,  and  what 
in  be  more  profitably  kept  than  the 
tiry  cow? 

The  skim  milk  from  a  herd  of  dairy 
iws  is  valuable  as  a  part  ration  for 
•owing  pigs  and  calves;  it  is  one  of 
e  feeds  on  the  farm  that  is  almost 
V  dispensible. 

■J  Too  much  attention  has  been  paid  to 
|  e  beefy  tendency  of  the  cow,  and  our 

!»od,   old,   native   dairy   cow   has   been 
ansformed  into  the  dual  purpose  cow 
double    purpose    cow,    and    a   great 
any   farmers   are   trying   to   feed   her 


and  milk  her  for  profit.  But  I  am  sure 
if  many  of  them  should  charge  her  in 
detail  with  all  she  eats  they  would 
find  the  ledger  account  balanced  on 
the  wrong  side. 

Let  us  wake  up  to  the  fact  that  we 
must  have  better  cows,  teach  the  beef 
trust  a  lesson,  grade  up  a  better  class 
of  cows  and  let  this  double-purpose 
fad  die  out.  Now  is  a  good  time  to 
kill  it;  let  those  high  fellows  use  our 
beef  as  we  grow  it.  A  half  blood  Jer- 
sey heifer  was  just  butchered  on  my 
farm;  she  was  one  year  old  last  June, 
she  dressed  400  pounds  and  is  good 
beef,  much  better  than  the  average 
beef  that  can  be  bought  in  our  mar- 
kets here.  The  dairy  cow  and  hog 
raising  go  hand  in  hand  in  the  opinion 
of  the  writer;  butter  will  always  be  a 
good  fair  price. 


A    BEAR    CAMPAIGN    IN    WOOL. 

That  there  is  to  be  a  bear  campaign 
in  wool  seems  apparent.  Not  that 
wool  is  going  to  be  worth  less  intrin- 
sically or  that  stocks  will  become  bur- 
densome or  that  manufacturers  will 
need  less,  but  that  speculators  want 
their  rake-off.  Last  season  the  specu- 
lators in  the  staple  did  well.  Growers, 
unaware  of  the  depleted  condition  of 
stocks  or  manufacturers'  necessities, 
eagerly,  accepted  bids  last  fall  that 
looked  to  them  advantageous,  but  in 
the  light  of  this  year's  rise  show  that 
they  parted  with  their  property  cheap. 
Many  who  contracted  their  1904  clip  six 
and  eight  months  in  advance  lost  5 
cents  a  pound  by  the  transaction.  The 
speculator  was  aware  of  the  situation; 
the  grower  was  not. 

Naturally  speculators  are  anxious 
for  their  share  of  the  profits  of  the  1906 
clip.  Their  bids  on  a  basis  of  1905 
prices  have  already  been  rejected. 
Growers  are  alive  to  the  fact  that 
what  their  product  is  worth  to  specu- 
lators it  is  worth  to  them.  The  wool 
producer  is  no  longer  in  straightened 
circumstances;  he  has  passed  the  pe- 
riod of  indigency  and,  what  is  more, 
is  thoroughly  imbued  with  confidence. 

Some  operators  believe  that  bids  on 
the  1906  clip  will  be  lower  from  this 
time  henceforth.  Boston  and  Phila- 
delphia want  to  secure  options  and  the 
only  way  this  can  be  done  is  by  dis- 
turbing the  serenity  and  confidence  of 
the  grower.  In  other  words,  bearish 
sentiment  is  to  be  industriously  inject- 
ed into  producing  circles.  Bids  are  to 
be  lowered  and  the  speculator  instead 
of  displaying  anxiety  will  assume  an 
air  of  indifference.  If  he  can  secure 
the  assistance  of  Western  bankers  this 
campaign  may  win  simply  because  the 
average  wool-grower  depends  largely 
on  the  advice  of  the  man  who  handles 
his  money.  If  bankers  begin  to  talk 
lower  wool  the  logical  deduction  to  be 
drawn  is  that  they  are  working  hand 
in  hand  with  the  speculators.  This  line 
of  argument  is  by  no  means  illogical 
The  wool  speculator  is  well  posted  anc 
no  matter  what  price  he  is  willing  t« 
bid  for  next  year's  clip  he  expects  th 
staple  to   be  worth  more  at   shearin 

time.     Speculators  do  not  always _yr'v 

but  unfortunately  they  beat  the  grower 
three  times  out  of  five. — Breeders'  Ga-

RAMBOUILLET    SHEEP. 

The  Rambouillet  is  a  l  -ire-bred  Me- 
rino tracing  direct  to  the  very  <* 
flocks   of  Spain,    writes  Roscoe 
in  Breeders'  Gazette.     They  took  their 
name   from    that   of   the    royal    es 
of.    King    Louis    XVI    of    France,    who, 
through    his    relations   with    Spain,    po- 
litical   and    otherwise,    secured 
360    head   of   the   largest    and    el. 
Merinos    in    aU    Spain;     in    fact,    they 
were  the  tops  of  the  best  flocks.     Thus 
was    started,    in    1TS6,    the    flock    froni 
which  the  Rambouillet  has  been  bred. 
and    this    has    been    done    without    the 
admixture  of  outside  blood. 

That  marked  improvement  was  made 
along  the  lines  of  both  wool  and  mut- 
ton is  proved  conclusively  by  the  care 
ful  records  kept  at  the  government 
farm  at  Ramboullet.  For  in  spite  of 
all  the  political  upheavals  in  France 
since  the  founding  of  this  flock,  the 
farm  and  flock  have  been  maintained 
continuously  by  the  government.  And 
it  is  worth  while  to  note  that  size 
and  form  of  carcass  were  considered 
just  as  important  as  quality  and  weight 
of  fleece,  which  accounts  for  their  su- 
perior size  to  the  American  or  Delaine 
Merino.  By  this  careful  and  scientific 
system  of  selection  and  breeding  they 
have  succeeded  in  producing  rams  that 
when  mature  weigh  from  240  to  32a 
pounds,  and  shear  from  20  to  30  pounds 
of  fine  Delaine  wool:  ewes  weigh  from 
150  to  210  pounds  and  shear  12  to  16 
"pounds. 

As  to  hardiness,  they  maintain  this 
important  characteristic  of  all  Merinos 
to  the  full  extent-  They  can  stand 
grief  and  exposure,  short  feed  and 
the  like  when  necessary  as  well  as  any 
breed  and  better  than  most,  but  for 
the  farm  this  is  not  necessary,  and  they 
appreciate  and  respond  to  good  feed 
and  proper  care  proportionately  well. 

Of  all  breeds.  Merinos,  and  especially 
Rambouillets,  most  quickly  and  easily 
adapt  themselves  to  varying  conditions. 
While  all  sheep  are  best  suited  to  a 
slightly  rolling  country  with  a  lime- 
stone soil,  yet  we  know  of  many  flocks 
on  soil  such  as  mentioned,  and  of  these 
the  Rambouillets  have  given  as  good 
satisfaction  as  the  others.  Some  of 
the  leading  stud  flocks  of  Rambouil- 
lets in  this  country  at  the  present 
time  are  maintained  on  level  black 
land,  which  is  known  as  pre-eminent 
com  soil. 

As  compared  with  the  breeds  men- 
tioned for  selling  quality  on  the  mar- 
ket, we  will  answer  by  a  little  personal 
experience.  A  few  years  since  we  were 
feeding  a  fair-sized  flock  of  good 
quality  black-face  lambs  for  spring 
market,  that  is,  the  lambs  would  be 
nine  to  twelve  months  old  w-hen  mar- 
keted. At  the  same  time  we  had  in 
stock  a  flock  of  Rambouillet  lambs 
which  were  receiving  good  care  but 
hardly  as  heavy  fed  as  the  others. 
When  we  sold  the  black-faces,  after 
weighing  them  up-  we  drove  the  Ram- 
bouillets on  the  scales,  and  as  they 
came  out  we  said  to  the  huyer  of  the 
others,  "How  much  for  them?"  "Just 
the  same  as  the  others,"  and  we  were 
getting  the  top  figure,  based  on  Buffalo 
market.  Comparing  weights,  we  found 
a  difference  of  about  two  pounds  per 
head  in  favor  of  the  Rambouillets.  al- 
though the  average  lots  would  prob- 
ably run  about  the  same. 

And  we  may  add  that  this  compari- 
son occurred  when  wool  was  not  bring- 
ing anything  like  present  prices,  so  that 
it  may  be  seen  that  it  was  not  th'j 
fleece,  but  their  mutton  qualities  which 
made  their  value. 

We  often  hear  about  the  Merino  be- 
ing of  no  account  for  mutton,  not  fit 
to  eat,  and  the  like,  but  we  have  yet 
to  learn  of  the  lot  of  good  plain- 
bodied  Rambouillets  that  will  not  sell 
for  just  as  much  as  any  breed  on  the 
market,  other  conditions  being  equal. 
And  in  addition,  the  fact  that  the: 
good  shearers  and  maintain  their 
weight  of  fleece  with  age  makes  them  a 
valuable   sheep   to  the   general   farmer.

120-122  SOUTH  FOURTH  STREET, 

Qcinct,  III  ,  May  12,  1905. 
Some  twelve  months  ago  I  owned  a  horse  which 
was  practically  worthless,    due  to  a  very  bad 
Bone  Spavin  on  his  right  hind  leg. 

I  tried  various  remedies  without  success, 
finally  purchasing  from  the  Miller  &  Arthur  Drug 
Co.  of  this  city  a  bottle  of  "Save-the-Horse." 
After  using  one-half  the  contents  of  the  bottle, 
according  to  instructions,  the  horse  has  never 
taken  a  lame  step.  I  would  gladly  have  sold  him 
for  twenty-five  dollars  before  using  "Save-the- 
Horse.'1  I  have  sold  him  since  for  ninety  dollars, 
and  would  not  be  without  "Save-the-Horse"  at 
double  the  cost.

San  Francisco,  Saturday,  October  14,  1905- 

THE  AMERICAN  TROTTER  is  the  universal  pleas-

Maine  to  California  he  is  bred,  owned  and  driven  by 
.armers,  mechanics,  millionaires,  statesmen  and 
radesmen,  and  there  is  not  a  county  in  the  entire 
country  where  the  trotting  horse  is  not  owned  and 
oved  for  his  docility,  and  his  speed.  The  country  boy 
Is  raised  with  trotting  colts,  breaks  them  to  harness 
hnd  drives  them  on  the  road,  and  there  is  hardly  a 
{jerson,  he  he  the  owner  of  millions  or  the  worker  for 
l  small  wage,  who  does  not  enjoy  riding  behind  u 
,?ood  roadster,  or  a  pair  of  them.  Dr.  Neal?  the  ed- 
itor of  that  excellent  publication,  the  Western  Horse- 
nan,  recently  expressed  his  views  about  people  who 
!ove   the   trotters  In  the  following  manner: 

"The  breeding  and  development  of  the  trotting  horse 
lis  an  interesting  study,  and  there  is  a  fascination 
jabout  breeding  and  developing  trotters  which  appeals 
'strongly  to  thousands  of  people  in  all  parts  of  the 
country.  The  writer  has  traveled  pretty  extensively 
.during  the  past  twenty  years  in  many  States,  and  has 
visited  many  out  of  the  way  places,  but  has  yet  to 
find  a  city,  town  or  hamlet  where  one  or  more  persons 
I  could  not  be  found  who  -were  interested  in  breeding 
trotters.  The  trotting  horse  enthusiast  is  found  in 
all  walks  of  life,  and  his  admirers  are  not  confined  to 
1  any  one  class  or  condition  of  people,  and  some  of  the 
most  sincere  lovers  of  the  trotters  are  to  be  found  in 
the  pulpit,  on  the  stage,  in  the  big  financial  institu- 
tions of  the  country,  on  the  farms,  in  stores,  shops  and 
factories;  in  fact,  the  popularity  of  the  trotting  horse 
extends  into  every  part  of  American  life.  Only  a  few 
weeks  ago  the  writer  met  a  Catholic  priest,  a  warm- 
hearted, lovable  man,  devoted  to  his  calling,  who  was 
one  of  the  best  posted  men  on  trotting  horse  affairs 
he  ever  met.  In  the  same  city  lives  a  railroad  engi- 
neer, who  drives  a  big  locomotive  across  the  country, 
pulling  one  of  the  fastest  railroad  trains  in  the  world, 
and  this  engineer  loves  a  trotter  next  to  his  wife  and 
babies. 

"One  of  the  leading  officials  of  the  railroad  which 
employs  this  engineer  is  also  an  enthusiastic  lover  of 
trotters,  and  his  only  recreation  is  to  breed  a  few  trot- 
ters each  year.  Up  in  Pennsylvania  there  lives  a  man 
who  is  one  of  the  largest  coal  and  timber  operators  in 
the  world,  a  man  who  annually  transacts  millions  of 
dollars'  worth  of  business,  and  employs  thousands  of 
men,  and  is  one  of  the  busiest  men  in  the  United 
States.  Yet  this  man  finds  time  each  year  to  spend 
a  week  or  two  on  the  Grand  Circuit  watching  the  trot- 
ters. Down  in  Southern  Ohio  there  lives  another  big 
coal  and  timber  operator,  whose  business  each  year 
mounts  up  into  millions,  but  he  is  never  too  busy  to 
discuss  the  breeding  and  development  of  the  trotter, 
and  he  breeds  numbers  of  good  horses  each  year. 
There  are  Senators  and  Congressmen,  widely  known 
in  the  halls  of  Congress,  many  of  them  who  are  real 
admirers  of  the  trotters,  and  several  members  of  the 
President's  official  family  take  a  deep  interest  in  the 
breeding  and  development  of  the  light  harness  horse. 

"In  every  state  there  are  ministers,  lawyers,  physi- 
cians and  men  high  in  official  life  who  love  the  trot- 
ters, and  take  great  delight  in  watching  the  breeding 
and  development  of  the  trotter,  and  yet  some  people 
wonder  at  the  hold  the  trotter  has  upon  the  American 
people.  This  is  the  class  of  people  who  keep  alive  the 
interest  in  the  trotter,  and  they  are  interested  in  him 
not  because  they  want  to  speculate  on  his  chances  oC 
winning  races,  but  simply  because  they  love  the  horse, 
and  take  delight  in  seeing  him  in  contests  of  speed. 
The  liberal-minded,  conservative  people  of  the  United 
States  see  no  particular  harm  in  speculating  on  trot- 
ting races  and  buying  pools,  but  it  is  not  because  of 
this   phase   of   trotting   racing   that   they   admire   the 


successful  fall  meetings  this  year  mean  greater  and 
better  meetings  next  year  with  two  $5000  stakes. 
Every  horseman  that  can  possibly  afford  to  attend 
the!  racing  on  the  Southern  Circuit  next  month 
should  be  making  his  plans  for  the  trip.  No.w  is  the 
time  to  boost.  With  the  proper  encouragement  to 
those  who  give  harness  meetings  in  California,  there 
can  be  a  circuit  built  up  on  this  Coast  that  will  be 
the  equal  of  any  circuit  held  anywhere  in  the 
United  States. 


DAN  PATCH  is  the  king  of  all  harness  horses  be- 
yond dispute.  No  horse  has  ever  appeared  that  could 
pace  a  mile  in  two  minutes  with  the  ease  he  ac- 
complishes the  effort,  and  no  horse  has  ever  ap- 
proached the  records  he  holds  for  miles  below  that 
mark.  His  latest  is  a  mile  in  1:55*4  at  Lexington 
last  Friday,  breaking  his  own  world's  record  of  1:56, 
made  at  Memphis  last  year.  The  first  quarter  was  in 
29*£  seconds,  the  next  in  2S  seconds,  the  third  in  28% 
and  the  last  quarter  in  29  seconds.  When  we  stop  to 
think  that  there  are  many  thoroughbred  horses  that 
cannot  run  and  pull  a  sulky  that  fast,  the  greatness 
of  Dan  Patch  is  more  pronounced.  For  three  years 
this  wonderful  stallion  has  made  heavy  seasons  in  the 
stud  and  come  out  in  the  fall  and  broken  the  world's 
pacing  record.  His  handsome  proportions,  his  game- 
ness'  and  his  marvelous  speed  are  the  admiration  of 
horsemen  all  over  the  world.  His  owner,  M.  W.  Sav- 
age, of  the  International  Stock  Food  Company  of  In- 
dianapolis, is  to  be  congratulated  on  the  possession  of 
such  a  noble  animal.  Dan  Patch  stands  on  a  pedestal 
above  all  other  equines  and  "none  but  himself  can 
be  his  parallel."

THE  DISPERSAL  SALE  of  the  Rancho  del  Paso 
horses,  which  will  take  place  in  New  York,  December 
4th,  is  the  talk  of  turfdom.  The  sales  will  be  held  by 
the  Fasig-Tipton  Company  and  William  Easton  will 
be  the  .  auctioneer.  There  are  thirty  grandly  bred 
stallions,  including  the  imported  horses  Watercress. 
Star  Ruby.  St,  Gatien,  Goldfield,  Golden  Garter  and 
others,  and  five  hundred  brood  mares.  Catalogues 
will  soon  be  issued  and  will  be  sent  to  those  who  ap- 
ply to  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company,  Madison  Square 
Garden,  New  York,  for  them.  California  breeders 
who  cannot  attend  the  sale,  should  send  commissions 
on  and  buy  what  they  can  afford  to.  The  dispersal  of 
this  great  farm  offers  the  chance  of  a  life  time  to 
small  breeders. 


SHORTHORNS  from  the  celebrated  Humboldt  herd 
of  Rush  &  Pierce,  Suisun,  are  to  be  sold  at  that  place 
on  Thursday  next.  October  19th,  by  Fred  H.  Chase  & 
Co.  This  is  the  first  annual  auction  from  this  herd 
and  farmers  should  not  allow  this  opportunity  to  im- 
prove their  stock  to  escape  them.  The  cattle  to  be 
sold  are  all  high  class  individuals,  full  blooded  and 
registered,  and  are  the  result  of  years  of  intelligent 
breeding.  The  purchase  of  a  good  young  bull  or  a 
few  heifers  will  raise  the  standard  of  a  herd  of  com- 
mon cattle  in  a  few  years  if  intelligently  managed,  so 
that  they  will  be  worth  twice  as  much  in  the  mar- 
ket as  can  be  got  for  ordinary  cattle.  Try  to  be  at 
Suisun  next  Thursday  if  you  are  interested  in  cattle. 


THE  STAKES  WILL  CLOSE  on  Monday,  October 
23d,  with  the  New  California  Jockey  Club.  There  is 
added  money  in  every  instance  where  the  stakes  are 
from  $2000  to  $3000.  The  Burns  Handicap,  which  is 
a  guaranteed  stake,  is  for  $10,000.  Look  over  the 
list  of  these  rich  stakes  in  the  advertisement  which 
appears  on  another  page  in  this  issue. 


A  BIG  ENTRY  LIST  is  due  the  Southern  California 
Circuit  of  harness  racing,  and  every  breeder,  owner 
and  trainer  in  the  central  and  northern  part  of  the 
state  should  make  it  his  business  to  assist  our  south- 
ern friends  in  securing  the  same.  They  are  using 
every   effort   to   build   up   the  game   down    there   and 


ADMIRAL  DEWEY,  son  of  Bingen  and  Nancy 
Hanks,  lowered  his  record  to  2:04%  at  Lexington  last 
Wednesday.  He  started  to  beat  his  record  of  2:06% 
and  lowered  it  two  full  seconds.  This  makes  Admiral 
Dewey  the  third  fastest  trotting  stallion.  Cresceus 
holds  the  world's  record  with  a  mark  of  2:02J/i,  and 
John  A.  McKerron  has  second  pla.ce  with  a  record  of 
2:04^.  Directum  is  in  fourth  place,  his  record  being 
2:05*4,  made  in  a  race.  Onward  Silver's  mark  is  the 
same,  but  it  was  made  against  time  and  with  a  wind 
shield  in  front. 


ENTRIES  for  the  Santa  Maria  meeting  will  close 
October  23d.  ,  There  will  be  six  days'  racing  with  one 
harness  and  two  running  events  each  day.  See  the 
advertisement   in   our   business   columns. 


PONY  RACING  TODAY  AT  SAN  MATEO. 


The  race  meet  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association  which  commences  today  on  the 
track  of  Charles  W.  Clark  at  San  Mateo  is  expected 
to  bring  out  some  keen  racing. 

Rudolph  Spreckels  and  Mr.  Clark  will  have  the 
greatest  number  of  entries,  while  J.  Chancey  Hayes 
of  Oceanside  will  send  up  five  from  the  south.  W.  E. 
Pedley  of  the  lower  country  will  also  be  represented 
by  Carlotta,  while  Mr.  Thorne  of  Palo  Alto  will  have 
one  which  he  figures  should  carry  off  some  of  the 
cups.  He  has  entered  Pegasus.  Mr.  Thorne  banks  his 
hopes  on  the  fact  that  he  has  the  same  trainer 
handling  his  entry  that  had  so  much  to  do  with  the 
coming  out  of  Dr.  Leggo. 

What  is  thought  to  be  the  feature  of  the  card  for 
today  is  the  half-mile  event  in  which  Midlove  and 
Ulctma  will  come  together.  Both  of  these  entries 
have  been  "preped"  to  the  hour  and  Mr.  Clark  and  Mr. 
Spreckels  are  centering  all  the  efforts  on  these  two 
for  the  time  being. 

Among  those  which  will  carry  Mr.  Spreckels'  colors 
are:  Ulctma,  Boastful,  Hopeful,  Don  and  Carlolly. 
Mr.  Clark  has  entered  Midlove,  Ethel  G,  Bas  Blancs, 
Alvernie  and  Queen  Rucker. 

Of  Mr.  Spreckels'  entries,  Ulctma,  Boastful  and 
Carlolly  have  never  raced  on  the  association  track.  In 
fact  the  last  two  have  never  been  raced  on  any  track. 
In  the  workouts,  at  Mr.  Spreckels'  farm,  they  have 
turned  up  considerable  speed  and  will  be  backed  for 
the  honors  in  the  events  in  which  they  start. 

The  number  of  stables  represented  today  will  not 
be  as  large  as  in  previous  years,  but  what  may  be 
lacked  in  number  of  owners  represented  has  been 
more  than  made  up  by  the  quality  and  number  of 
entries  from  the  stables  that  take  part  in  the  meet. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  those  who  have  visited  the 
Clark  track  the  last  week  it  would  be  hard  to  find  a 
finer  lot  than  those  which  are  stabled  there  at  the 
present  time.  Cost  has  been  the  last  consideration, 
which  has  resulted  in  some  of  the  best  bred  ponies 
being  located  in  San  Francisco. 

This  is  accentuated  by  the  fact  that  Mr.  Spreckels 
has  just  secured  through  Mr.  Leighton,  secretarv  of 
the  association,  some  fifty  head  of  the  finest  ponies 
in  the  northwest. 

Those  secured  are  mostly  seven-eighths  thorough- 
bred, being  sired  by  Jim  Miller  and  Steamboat  Charlie. 

A  week  from  today  another  card  will  be  presented 
and  the  winner  of  the  Midlove-Ulctma  race  will  have 
to  go  a  little  longer  distance  with  more  weight.  It 
may  be  that  Marigold  will  be  a  contestant  at  this 
time,  in  which  case  there  will  be  "a  hard  guessing 
bee." 

Thomas  H.  Williams,  president  of  the  New  Cali- 
fornia Jockey  Club,  will  act  as  presiding  judge,  while 
Thomas  A.  Driscoll,  who  has  just  returned  to  Bur- 
lingame,  will  be  the  senior  steward.  Fred  Mulhol- 
land  will  act  as  starter. 

The  first  race  on  the  card  has  been  called  for  2:15 
p.  m.     There  will  be  five  races. 

The  entries  for  the  events  next  week  will  close  next 
Wednesday  with  the  secretary. 

Mr.  Leighton  states  that  there  will  be  another  meec 
the  latter  part  of  next  month,  commencing  on  Thanks- 
giving day.  It  is  thought  at  this  time  many  of  the 
owners  now  absent  from  the  city  will  have  returned 
and  be  represented.  Another  meet  is  likely  to  take 
place  around  the  first  of  the  year  or  in  the  early 
spring.  These  races  will  be  principally  for  the  polo 
ponies  that  are  in  active  service.  So  many  foreign 
polo  players  are  expected  here  this  winter  that  it  is 
thought  a  full  card  can  be  made  up  exclusively  of  the 
mounts. 

Mr.  Leighton  expects  teams  from  the  East,  England, 
Australia.  Honolulu  and  the  southern  part  of  the 
State.  Among  the  noted  visitors  will  be  Sir  Rupert 
Clark  of  Australia,  who  may  bring  over  a  wonder  in 
the  three-year-old  race  line  to  be  raced  at  Oakland. 
If  he  is  successful  in  carrying  off  the  honors  he  will 
ship  his  entry  to  the  east  and  race  it  over  the  sum- 
mer tracks.  With  Sir  Rupert  will  come  the  Austra- 
lian   polo    team.

IMPRESSIONS  OF  THE   PORTLAND    LIVE   STOCK 
SHOW. 


To   this   view,    the   best    feature   of   the   Lewis 

Clark  Exposition  is  its  great  live  stock  show  just  over. 

trlly,  in  some  particulars,  the  exposition  shows 

local    flavor.      Rut    in    respect    of   its   live   stock    show 

rank  is  taken  with  the  great  world's  fairs.     Quant. ty 

fflcient      Quality    was    up    to    highest    expecta- 

The  United  States  and  Canada  responded  cor- 

to    invitations    for    entries.      Notable    imports.  - 

om    England.    France.   Belgium   and    Germany 

were  shown.     Horses,  cattle,  sheep,  goats,  and  swine 

had  proper  share  in  public  attention  and  interest. 

Home  breeders  won   blue  ribbons.     It   was  thought 
that  Eastern  men.  skilled  in  fitting  and  giving  polish, 
would  have  the  Pacific  Coast  at  a  disadvantage.     Not 
egon  and  the  Coast  made  possible  the  Exposi- 
tion     Oregon  and  the  Coast  made  the  stock  show  and 
in    the    glory.       California     sent     the     famous 
liolsteins,  the  Glide  &  Son.  the  Eakle  and  the 
Rush    <fc    Pierce   shorthorns,     and    the    owners    came 
along.     Other  delegates   were  present,   including  Prof. 
Majors,   U.   C.    professionally   and  personally   held   in 
high   esteem   in    Oregon. 

Perhaps  the  horse  and  the  shorthorn  had  the  lead- 
ing pans. 

Horses  there  were  in  type  from  Darley's  Arabian 
to  the  ton  and  a  quarter  drafter  from  Normandy,  the 
Low  Countries   or   the   English  shires. 

The  standard  bred  class  was  rather  light  in  num- 
bers, but  showing  quality.  The  judges  pronounced 
Jlion  field  in  merit  quite  in  a  class  by  itself. 
Zombro  took  leading  place,  the  showy  blacks.  Lord 
Kitchener  and  Xocturno.  dividing  honors.  From  a 
show  standpoint,  the  younger  horses,  with  bloom  and 
action,  had  the  advantage,  but  Zombro's  ability  as  a 
sire  and  his  history  as  a  good  three-year-old  were 
properly  taken  into  account.  These  young  horses, 
however,  showy,  built  for  endurance,  carrying  the 
blood  of  Black  Hawk  5,  Edwin  Forrest  49.  Mambrino 
Patchen  5S,  and  thoroughbred  in  close  ancestry, 
weighing  1100  to  1200  pounds,  come  close  to  that 
magnified  Morgan  ideal  recently  suggested  through 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  by  Mr.  Gamble.  And  it 
cannot  but  be  cause  of  congratulation  to  believers  in 
progressive  breeding  that  Lord  Kitchener  is  a  hand- 
somer horse  than  his  sire.  If  he  proves  as  good  a 
sire,  so  much  the  better.  Junior  stallions,  mares  and 
young  stuff  were  attractive.  Brook  Nook  Rranche  of 
Montana  won  ribbons  enough  to  carpet  one  of  its 
fertile  meadows.  The  Alfonso  family  won  firsts. 
group  and  family  prizes  and  grand  championships 
in  giddy  profusion,  and  showed  breedy  and  handsome 
form.  Altamont  3600  was  represented.  Old  Altamont 
did  much  for  the  harness  horse  in  Oregon  and  spent 
his  last  days  in  California  and  his  blood  lines  are 
here  valued  in  matron  or  sire. 

Lambert  Boy  and  his  son  Newsboy  represented  the 
Morgans,  being  the  real  thing  in  blood  and  form, 
good  individuals  and  typical  in  conformation  to  the 
type  of  that  valuable  line. 

Of  thoroughbreds,  there  is  little  to  report.  An 
entry  or  two  saved  the  distance  of  friends  of  the 
galloper. 

McLaughlin's  French  Coach  and  Crouch  &  Son's 
German  Coach  classes,  high  actors,  at  home  in  the 
arena,  shown  to  best  advantage,  were  popular  with 
the  grand  stand,  and  in  numbers  and  quality  were 
fit  to  show  anj'where.  McLaughlin's  Apropos  was 
head  of  the  class.  To  the  observer  with  standard 
bred  inclinations,  the  French  Coach  is  nearer  the 
mark  as  a  heavy  harness  horse  than  the  German,  the 
latter  being  too  heavy  without  the  harness,  and, 
untrained,  lacking  the  special  shoeing  and  tail  surgery 
in  vogue,  gaited  too  much  like  the  old  Mission  Street 
bob-tail  cars  which  used  to  run  to  Woodward's  Gar- 
dens. 

One  Hackney  showed,  a  good  one  though,  and  a 
solitary  Cleveland  Bay,  lone  fisherman  by  a  great 
stream. 

Rosa  Bonheur  would  have  found  material  for  many 
"Horse  Fairs"  in  the  draft  classes.  Percherons  led. 
McLaughlin  Bros,  swept  the  field  with  a  magnificent 
line  of  this  famous  breed. 

Canadians  won  with  Clydesdale  and  J.  L.  Edson  of 
Silverton.  Ore.,  gathered  in  first  premium,  champion- 
ship and  grand  championship  with  Red  Lynch  Con- 
queror, a  grand  Shire.  There  was  little  competition 
In  this  class. 

Crouch  &  Sons  led  with  Belgians,  a  drafter  much 
in  favor  in  the  Northwest. 

One  Suffolk  was  shown,  a  good  specimen  of  this 
famous  old  cart  horse,  owned  by  Fanson  &  Son  of 
Danville,  III. 

Missouri  contributed  a  mammoth  mule  and  a  car- 

<f   his   ancestors,    all    of   which   were   placed   on 

the  firing  line  and  did  their  part  in  drawing  crowds. 

Yolo  County  and   the  San  Joaquin   would  have  been 

much  edified  and  refreshed  with  this  exhibit. 

The  cattle  barns  were  filled  with  grand  stock.     Beef 

and    dairy   advocates   found   ready   texts.     Friends   of 

ual   purpose  cow  pointed  with  pride  to  the  Red 

Poll   and    the   Devon.     "White   faces   came   from  many 

Hereford    breeders.      But    the    Shorthorn    display 

was   magnificent.     The  atmosj  ked  of  Bonnie 

d.      Mi-n    whose    word    Is    authority    give    the 

Lewis  &  Clark  show  credit  In   respect  of  Shorthorns 

<>f  equalling   any   .show   on   record.     The   uniform   ex- 

cellence  of  animals  shown  is  remarkable.     King  Ed- 

flrst    premium    aged    bull,    also    champion    and 

champion,  was  shown  by  J.  it.  Glide  &  Son  ,,r 

Sacramento,     who    also    won    other    honors    in    this 

branch    of    the    .^how.      Rush    tt    Pierce    took    several 

ribbons,     c.   E.  Ladd  ami   II.  YV.   Peel  were  th< 

paj  exhibitors,  representing  Oregon  and  Wash- 
ington with  a  grand  array  of  entries  of  this  noble 
breed. 

The  Galloways   shown   by   Clark  of   Minnesota    and 
Brown    &    Son    of    Missouri,    were   exceptionally    fine. 
A  fair  display  of  Aberdeen  Angus  was  made  by  Oregon 
lers 


The  lover  of  the  Jersey  was  in  his  element.  Such 
herds  as  those  of  the  Ladd  Estate,  among  the  chief 
Jersey  herds  of  the  world,  D.  H.  Looney.  H.  West, 
Atkinson  Bros.,  and  others,  are  a  source  of  pride  to 
Oregon  and  glory  to  any  dairy  country  as  well  as  to 
all  those  who  appreciate  grace,  beauty  and  useful- 
ness in  the  cow.  The  Ladd  Estate  received  chief 
place  in  awards,  with  the  Looney  herd  second  and 
other  honors  distributed  among  smaller  breeders. 
The  Ladd  Estate  showed  Loretta  D.,  the  famous  win- 
ner of  the  dairy  test  at  St.  Louis,  but  the  cow 
being  dry  at  present  was  not  entered  in  the  contests. 
Loretta  D.  is  a  strong,  rugged  cow.  inclining  to  coarse- 
ness, but  a  great  producer. 

Holsteins  were  there  to  "beat  the  Dutch."  For 
Holland  could  not  show  a  better  collection.  The 
Pierce  herd  from  California  attracted  especial  atten- 
tion. Mr.  Pierce's  chief  herd  bull,  Jetse  (imported), 
is  perfect  in  type,  a  grand  specimen  of  the  breed  to 
whose  ideals  he  is  so  true.  Jetse  did  not  show  quite 
as  much  form  as  usual,  the  long  journey  being  a 
decided  handicap.  The  Pierce  cows  and  young  stock 
were  first  class.  Irwin  of  Minneapolis,  the  Hazle- 
wood  Company  of  Spokane.  Frakes  of  Scappose,  were 
the  other  exhibitors.  It  was  a  surprise  to  most  when 
the  Frakes  bull,  Oregon  Lunde  de  Kol,  was  placed 
first.  This  bull  is  coarse,  beefy  in  form,  not  a  Hol- 
stein  type  at  all,  and  might  be  expected  to  win  only 
in  a  weight  contest.  The  Frakes  cow.  MechthiHe, 
is  a  grand  individual,  perfect  in  conformation,  lacking 
nowhere  unless  it  be  a  shade  in  facial  turn  and  win- 
ning place  worthily. 

A  herd  of  Ayrshires  and  a  herd  of  Brown  Swiss 
were  shown.  The  only  families  of  these  varieties,  so 
far  as  this  observation  goes,  in  the  North  Pacific. 

Sheep,  goats  and  swine  had  their  innings,  and, 
while  not  shown  in  great  numbers,  had  enough  quality 
and  variety  to  interest  any  requirement.  One  hog 
breeder  displayed  upon  his  walls  his  ambition  to 
"Make  two  pounds  of  pork  grow  where  one  grew 
before."  Smith  of  Hazlewood  was  this  humorist.  It 
is  a  vital  point   in  this  whole  business. 

It  is  evident  that  the  Pacific  Coast  claims  great- 
ness, and  must  continue  to  do  so,  largely  along  agri- 
cultural lines.  Live  stock  interests  are  second  to 
none  in  the  farming  world.  The  show  is  educational. 
To  learn  of  care,  of  feeding,  of  fitting,  is  a  call  first 
and  last  for  the  blue  ribbon  end  of  the  show  ring. 

The  Live  Stock  Show  was  popular.  Attendance 
was  good.  Everybody  was  there  but  some  of  the  lead- 
ing officials  of  the  Exposition,  who  ought  to  have 
been.  Judges  in  the  main  were  satisfactory.  Credit 
is  due  Director  Withycombe  of  the  Oregon  Experi- 
ment Station,  who  suggested  holding  the  show,  to 
Superintendent  Wisdom,  who  made  and  managed  it 
and  to  Mr.  George  Gammie,  who  was  always  the  right 
man  in  the  right  place  with  balm  for  the  wounded 
and  comfort  for  the  disappointed.

HENRY    DUNLAP    SELLS    HAROLD    D.    FOR    $3250. 


Philadelphia,   Oct.   4,   1905. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — I  drop  you  a  few 
lines  to  let  you  know  that  Harold  D.  holds  the  speed 
track  record  at  Philadelphia.  He  won  the  fastest 
half  mile  two  in  three  contest  ever  raced  on  the 
Philadelphia  speed  track.  He  was  driven  to  wagon 
and  won  his  heats  in  1:00%  and  1:00%,  beating  such 
horses  as  Tou  Bet  2:07,  Judge  Mills  2:  OS.  Wilkie  Eg- 
bert 2:10^,  Robert  M.  2:06%.  Billy  2:14  and  Iowa 
Joe,  said  to  be  the  fastest  horse  in  the  Driving  Club 
here.  This  race  took  place  last  Saturday  before  ten 
thousand  people.  After  the  race  I  sold  Harold  D.  to 
James  R.  Brown,  241s  North  Thirty-first  street,  Phil- 
adelphia, for   $3250. 

When  I  arrived  at  Saugus,  Mass.,  with  my  horse 
after  leaving  California,  he  was  sick  and  would  not 
eat.  They  took  me  out  of  the  sulky  before  the  fourth 
heat  and  put  Gillis  up.  and  he  got  Harold  D.  shut 
out,  .but  according  to  the  rule  they  had  to  give  me 
a  position  and  let  the  horse  start  again.  I  finishei 
fourth  with  him.  One  month  after  that  I  started  him 
at  Rochester,  N.  H.  There  were  just  three  of  us  in 
the  race  and  I  managed  to  keep  from  getting  the  flag 
and  got  third  money.  At  the  next  town.  Concord,  he 
was  not  in  the  money,  and  as  he  was  getting  no 
better  I  turned  him  over  to  a  veterinary  for  a  week 
and  he  got  better. 

I  came  to  Philadelphia  a  month  ago  and  Harold  D. 
got  to  eating  well  and  soon  got  strong,  showing  his 
old  speed  in  his  work.  You  can  see  by  his  work  last 
Saturday  that  he  is  quite  a  horse  right  now.  I  fully 
expect  him  to  get  a  mark  of  2:05  next  year.  He  is  the 
best  horse  in  a  race  I  ever  saw.  They  scored  me 
twenty-two  times  in  the  first  heat  at  Saugus,  and  he 
was  pacing  all  the  time,  although  a  sick  horse. 

I  will  be  home  some  day  next  week  and  glad  to  get 
back.  I  must  say  they  turn  out  better  to  the  harness 
races  in  California  than  they  do  in  the  New  England 
States.  Respectfully.  H.  H.  DUNLAP. 


ENTITLED  TO  PRIVILEGES  OF  THE  TRACK. 


Judge  Hunt  of  the  Superior  Court  of  San  Francisco 
rendered  a  decision  last  Saturday  in  the  case  of  San- 
fanson  against  the  New  California  Jockey  Club,  in 
which  he  gave  the  opinion  that  the  club  had  no  right 
to  keep  a  person  from  the  privileges  of  the  track  who 
Is  caught  "flashing"  or  "signaling"  the  result  of 
races. 

During  the  last  racing  season  Sanfason  bought  ad- 
mlssion  to  the  Emeryville  track  and  signaled  the  re- 
sulis  i«i  h.mk milkers  doing  business  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. The  racing  officials  admitted  they  ejected  him 
from  the  track  upon  the  ground  that  he  was  guilty 
of  immoral  conduct  and  of  violating  the  ordinances 
of  San  Francisco  in  sending  the  results  to  determine 
bets  made  in  illegally  run  poolrooms. 

The  statute  of  1S93,  says  Judge  Hunt,  make  it  un- 
lawful to  refuse  admission  to  any  theater,  racecourse 
or   other   place   of  public    amusement    to    any    person 


STICKLER  FOR  RULES  LOST. 


When  the  rain  prevented  racing  at  Electr:c  Park 
yesterday  the  horsemen  gathered  in  the  main  building 
and  talked  horse,  says  a  Baltimore  writer.  The  ques- 
tion of  making  horsemen  engaged  in  a  race  comply 
strictly  with  the  rules  was  a  subject  under  discussion, 
when  one  of  a  party  told  the  following  story: 

"I  was  officiating  at  a  meeting  held  at  one  of  the 
lower  Maryland  county  tracks  a  few  seasons  ago 
when  I  saw  a  stickler  for  rules  get  it  in  the  neck  in 
a  most  unexpected  manner.  There  was  a  little  fellow 
driving  in  the  race,  and  his  horse  was  winning.  When 
he  won  the  first  heat  he  jumped  on  the  scale  and  did 
it  cleverly,  the  beam  raising  when  he  landed,  and  the 
clerk  marked  him  as  that  weight. 

"Another  fellow  in  the  race  watched  the  little  man 
do  the  scale-jump  act  after  he  had  won  the  second 
heat.  When  he  won  the  third  heat  and  did  the  jump 
act  again,  the  other  fellow  was  right  there  and  de- 
manded that  he  stay  on  the  scales  and  weigh  prop* 
'erly.  Wnen  this  was  done  the  winner  of  three  heats 
was  found  to  weigh  but  135  pounds  instead  of  the 
necessary  150.  The  clerk  reported  the  fact  to  the 
judges,  who  promptly  disqualified  the  horse  which  hadl 
won  the  three  heats. 

"Now,  this  was  all  right  and  proper.  The  fellow! 
who  had  insisted  on  making  the  little  fellow  weight 
had  finished  second  in  each  heat,  and  thought  that 
when  the  judges  disqualified  the  man  short  of  weight 
the  winning  of  the  race  would  then  and  there  be  j 
awarded  his  horse  without  the  time  record  made  by 
the  disqualified  horse.  Well,  the  judges  did  nothing 
of  the  kind.  When  they  disqualified  the  horse  whose 
driver  was  short  of  weight  they  ordered  the  race  to 
continue  until  a  winner  developed. 

"The  fellow  who  had  protested  was  in  for  it,  and 
went  out  and  won  the  next  heat,  though  he  was 
forced  to  take  a  fast  mark  in  doing  it.  In  the  fifth 
heat  his  horse  made  a  bad  break  and  was  distanced. 
Instead  of  getting  the  second  money,  which  he  had 
won  when  he  had  the  other  fellow's  horse  disqualified, 
he  got  no  money,  but  penalized  his  horse  with  a  fast 
mark.  The  fact  that  the  two  drivers  in  the  story 
were  both  driving  in  races  at  this  meeting  called  to 
my  mind  the  incident  related." 


A  big  sale  of  trotting  and  pacing  horses  is  planned  I 
by  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.,   the  well  known  live  stock  j 
auctioneers,   to   take   place  at   Pleasanton   race   track  N 
some  time  in  February  next.    It  is  proposed  to  conduct  I 
this  sale  on  the  same  lines-  that  the  big  eastern  com-  I 
bination   sales   are   held,   and   on   the   day   before   the 
horses   are   sold   all   that   are  to   be   sold  as  speed  or  I 
road  horses  will  be  shown  on  the  track  and  timed  by  M 
experienced  timers  and  the  time  announced.     Among  j 
those  who  ha\e  already  promised  consignments  to  this  j' 
big  sale  are  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels,  who  will  send  thirty  || 
head     from     Aptos     Farm ;      Mr.     W.     A.      Shippee,  J 
Oakwood      Park       Stock       Farm,       and      Mr.      A.     J. 
Molero.     This  sale  will  be  extensively  advertised  and    . 
will   be    one    of    the    largest   ever   held   in    California-  | 
During  February  there  are  always  many  eastern  buy-  ' 
ers  in  California  looking  for  good  prospects  who  would 
rather  buy  at  auctions  than  any  other  way,  and  there 
is  no  doubt  but  the  sale  will  be  a  big  success.

|     OTHER    PEOPLE'S    OPINION.S     || 

Western  Horseman:  No,  there  is  no  such  thing  as 
siding  a  successful  county,  district  or  state  fair  with- 
it  harness  horse  racing.  It  has  been  tried  many 
imes  and  always  with  the  same  results — a  financial 
iss.  A  recent  shining  example  is  that  of  the  Wabash, 
iidiana,  "Farmers'  No  Horse  Race  Fair,"  promoted 
lid  conducted  by  the  Daugherty  Bros  ,  with  Will  H. 
ieming  as  acting  manager.  As  a  "Pumpkin  and  Pig" 
now,  with  a  complete  and  valuable  list  of  prizes  for 
[.-erything  produced  on  the  farm,  in  the  local  work 
hops,  in  the  household  kitchen,  and  fancy  work  do- 
estic  corner,  with  "side  shows"  and  special  attrac- 
pns  galore — and  not  a  device  of  any  kind  at  which 
penny  could  be  jeopardized  by  chance,  the  "Farm- 
is'  Fair"  had  every  attraction  except  'hoss  racinV 
'nd  what  was  the  result?  Not  enough  farmers — the 
kiss  of  people  some  would  have  us  believe  do  not 
ire  for  horse  racing,  attended  to  pay  the  gate  keep- 
's, and  had  not  the  citizens  of  Wabash,  with  whom 
.e  promoters  are  exceedingly  popular,  turned  out  in 
rce  through  pure  good  fellowship,  the  Daugherty 
cos.'  great  combination  sale  plant,  at  which  place 
me  "Farmers'  Fair"  was  held,  would  hardly  have 
lid  the  loss.  This  is  the  usual  experience  in  trying 
1  run  a  fair  without  horse  racing. 


cerned,  it  does  not  matter  which  class  of  horses  he 
fancies  or  desires — roadster,  coach  or  draft — he  must 
stick  to  the  same  class  of  sires,  coupling  the  best  to 
the  best  with  the  assurance  that  success  will  fol- 
low. 


Horse  World:  It  is  apparent  to  all  who  have  given 
e  matter  any  attention  that  it  is  time  some  better 
an  of  identifying  horses  be  adopted  by  the  parent 
otting  associations.  In  spite  of  the  efforts  which 
e  put  forth  to  prevent  the  masquerading  of  horses 

[|i  the  harness  tracks  it  is  a  fact  that  there  has 
•en  more  ringing  this  year  than  almost  any  year  that 

lln  be  recalled.  There  is  hardly  a  racing  circuit  of 
y  importance  in  which  there  has  not  been  one  or 

iore  horses  suspected  of  being  ringers.  Several 
hich  are  doubtless  ringers  have  managed  to  get 
pay  with  quite  a  lot  of  money  before  suspicions  he- 
me strong  enough  to  cause  their  earnings  to  be  pro- 
sted,  and  others  have  vanished  almost  instantly, 
spicion  being  turned  toward  them  at  once.  Several 
ans  for  better  identifying  horses  have  been  proposed, 

|!id  it  seems  as  though  the  two  parent  trotting  asso- 
itions  ought  to  get  together  during  the  coming  win- 
'r  and  combine  upon  some  plan  for  making  it  less 
sy  for  unprincipled  men  to  indulge  in  this  form  of 
leating.     Even  with  the  adoption  of  the  best  of  the 

■  ethods  suggested  there  will  doubtless  be  some  ring- 
g,  but  that  it  cannot  be  prevented  in  a  great  degree 
ems  hard  to  believe.  The  evil  is  one  that  ought  to 
■  dealt  with  before  another  racing  season  opens,  and 
is  to  be  hoped  that  the  men  who  manage  the  af- 
irs  of  the  National  and  American  Trotting  Associa- 
diis  will  take  this  view  of  the  matter  and  act  accord- 
giy. 


Spirit  of  the  West:  The  racing  season  of  1905  is 
taring  the  end.  It  can  be  said  without  fear  of  eon- 
adiction  that  the  season  of  1905,  especially  in  the 
'est,  has  been  the  most  successful  in  the  history  of 
e  light-harness  horse.     When  Sprit  of  the  West  in 

l,:ars  gone  by  expressed  the  opinion  that  there  were 
nple  interest  in  the  West,  and  sufficient  foundation 
otting  bred  stock  for  the  West  to  become  an  impor- 
nt  factor  in  producing  high-class  race  horses,  and 
mducting  flrst-class  meetings  there  were  a  few 
■ople  who  were  inclined  to  hold  different  views,  but 
me  has  proven  the  soundness  of  our  opinion,  and  to- 
iy  no  section  of  country  on  the  map  is  in  a  more 
•osperous  condition  than  is  the  West  in  the  produc- 
an  of  high-class  standard  bred  horses  and  the  hold- 

\  g  of  successful  race  meetings.  The  stigma  of  being 
ider  the  dictation  and  control  of  the  gambling  ele- 
ent  dees  not  now  and  never  will  obtain  in  the 
"est  as  it  did  and  does  now  in  many  prominent  East- 
n  race  centers.  There  is  a  diffei'ence  between  per- 
itting  men  who  are  inclined  to  place  a  wager  on  a 
irse  race  who  are  interested  in  the  production  and 
-velopment  of  the  industry,  and  permitting  a  class 
'  men  who  have  not  one  dollar  invested  in  the  busi- 
es and  follow  the  race  course  only  to  gamble  and 
ctate  to  the  association.  The  West  is  on  the  right 
ack  and  it  should  continue  along  the  same  lines, 
here  is  reason  in  all  things,  and  the  public  does  not 
■nsure  a  certain  amount  of  genteel  sport,  but  it  will 
jt  stand  for  open  violation  of  order  and  decency. 


Farm  and  Home:  Except  in  the  development  of  the 
otting  horse  the  United  States  has  little  to  boast  of 
the  line  of  horse  improvement,  and  it  may  be  ques- 
oned  as  to  how  much  must  be  allowed  for  skillful 
iving.  better  tracks  and  appliances.  The  recognized 
■eeds  of  horses  are  the  results  of  continued  and  per- 
stent  devotion  to  an  acknowledged  standard  of  ex- 
llence  for  that  particular  breed.  And  until  farmers 
■cognize  and  follow  the  experience  and  practice  of 
iose  who  have  preserved  certain  qualities  and  char- 
:teristics  by  breeding  in  the  same  line  for  genera- 
ons,  they  will  not  achieve  success.  Specimens  of  the 
nge  horses  brought  eastward  indicate  quite  clearly 

,hat  continuous  breeding  from  stallions  of  the  same

Breeders'  Gazette:  It  is  wonderful  how  closely  the 
search  has  been  prosecuted  for  the  young  stallions  of 
size  and  substance  and  general  excellence  of  appear- 
ance Our  information  is  that  in  France,  Belgium, 
England,  Scotland  and  Germany,  there  is  hardly  one 
left  that  would  do  to  bring  to  this  country  with  any 
hope  of  making  any  adequate  return  on  him.  Letters 
received  tell.  too.  of  flying  orders  off  the  wires  calling 
for  this  or  that  number  of  stallions  to  fill  out  a  load 
or  eke  out  one  already  left  for  foreign  shores.  The 
way  these  foreign  importations  have  melted  from  first 
hands  after  they  have  landed  has  never  been  equaled 
in  the  history  of  the  trade,  and  in  domestic  transac- 
tion there  is  marked  activity. 

In  these  foreign  countries  the  trouble  now  is.  not 
how  to  sell  the  horses  but  to  get  them  to  sell  after 
they  have  been  obtained  and  gathered  together  into 
the  dealers'  stables.  Over  there  the  breeders  of  pure- 
bred stock  assuredly  are  in  clover  and  there  are 
cogent  reasons  why  the  trade  in  this  country  is  turn- 
ing more  and  more  to  buy  the  product  of  American 
studs.  There  is  no  reason  why  there  should  be  a 
value  for  an  imported  horse  and  another  and  far 
lower  one  for  a  home-bred  horse  of  equal  merit  and 
pedigree.  Indeed,  we  learn  that  in  some  parts  of  this 
country  and  for  some  uses  the  home-bred  commodity 
is  already  esteemed  if  not  the  best  at  least  the  price- 
equal  of  his  imported  brethren.  Therefore  it  will 
stand  our  breeders  in  hand  to  go  slowly,  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  rising  tide  slacking  back  at  the  right 
time.  Indeed  it  looks  very  much  as  though  this  is 
the  time  in  the  affairs  of  that  trade  which  if  taken  at 
the  flood  will  lead  on  to  fortune.  There  may  be  no 
occasion  for  unseemly  haste,  but  there  is  reason  for 
unremitting  work  in  gathering  together  stocks  with 
which  to  carry  on  the  future  work.  Times  are  good, 
demand  is  rarely  distributed  over  many  classes,  and 
many  new  men  are  getting  into  this  business  of  breed- 
ing of  pure-breds  but  the  top  of  the  wave  should 
not  be  let  slip  to  obtain  some  few  of  the  real  top- 
pers that  are  in  time  to  come  to  be  the  great  win- 
ners, and  best  of  all  for  the  sires  and  dams  of  the 
equine  prodigies  that  American  generations  yet  un- 
born will  honor  as  well  as  their  imported  ancestors.

GRAND  SOUTHERN   FALL  CIRCUIT. 

Secretary  A.  W.  Bruner  has  sent  the  following  cir- 
cular letter  to  the  horsemen  of  this  coast: 

Los   Angeles,   Cal.,    Oct.    5th.    1905. 

I  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the  closing  of  en- 
tries on  October  24th  for  our  San  Bernardino,  Santa 
Ana  and  Los  Angeles  fall  meetings  and  trust  that 
every  horseman  will  make  it  a  point  to  give  us  every 
entry  possible.  We  have  spent  our  time  and  money  in 
forming  this  circuit  for  the  benefit  of  the  harness 
horse  interests  and  it  is  now  up  to  the  horsemen  to 
make  it  a  success  from  a  racing  standpoint  by  giving 
us  a  good,  liberal  entry.  From  a  financial  standpoint, 
we  have  taken  care  of  that  end  of  the  game  and  your 
money  is  ready  at  the  wire.  Don't  fail  to  enter  fear- 
ing your  class  will  not  fill  and  race  may  be  declared 
off.  Our  purses  and  conditions  are  most  liberal,  and 
by  refering  to  our  July  meeting  you  will  note  that 
classes  having  but  three  starters  in  one  thousand  dol- 
lar purses  were  allowed  to  go.  Our  method  is  fair 
treatment  to  the  horsemen  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 
It  is  our  intention  to  give  an  early  spring  circuit,  in- 
creasing our  classes  and  purses  at  San  Bernardino 
and  Santa  Ana,  and  just  as  soon  as  possible  to  estab- 
lish a  $5000  stake  for  trotters  and  a  $5000  stake  for 
pacers  at  our  Los  Angeles  fall  meetings.  In  other 
words,  we  propose  building  up  a  Southern  California 
Circuit  with  a  reputation  for  liberality  in  purses  and 
conditions  governing  same  that  will  attract  the  atten- 
tion of  horsemen  from  all  parts  of  the  country. 

Our  circuit  at  present  comprises  three  of  the  safest 
and  fastest  tracks  there  is  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and 
only  equalled  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  The  San  Ber- 
nardino track  has  just  been  graded,  fenced  and  re- 
clayed,  with  other  improvements,  at  an  expense  of 
$12,000,  making  it  a  thoroughly  up-to-date  plant,  and 
my  prediction  is  that  it  will  prove  the  fastest  track 
in  the  State.  Santa  Ana  has  always  been  considered 
one  of  the  fastest  tracks  in  California,  while  our  Los 
Angeles  track  holds  the  Coast  record  for  pacing 
(2:03%),  also  for  trotting  (2:05%).  Taking  into  con- 
sideration the  fact  that  our  circuit  gives  the  closing 
meeting  in  the  fall  and  the  early  opening  meeting  in 
the  spring,  say  nothing  about"  our  superior  winter 
climate  to  train  and  prepare  your  horses  for 
a  hard  season's  campaign,  horsemen  cannot  afford  to 
overlook  this  opportunity  of  getting  a  chance  to  earn 
their  winter's  oats  in  the  fall  and  a  get-away  stake 
in  the  spring.  Make  your  entries  through  the  entire 
circuit  and  select  your  track  to  winter  at,  resting  as- 
sured that  you  will  be  treated  right. 

Address  your  entries  and  communications  to  A.  W. 
Bruner,  secretary.   313  W.  2d  street,   Los  Angeles,   Cal.

[October  14,  1905 


The  entire  racing  stable  of  James  Butler's  East 
View  Farm  will  be  sold  by  the  Fasig-Tipton  Com- 
pany at  the  Oia  Glory  sale  in  New  Tork,  Nov.  20th 
to  Dec.  1st. 


Dan  Patch  1 


He  is  the  greatest  of  them  all. 


And  seems  able  to  pace  in  2:00  on  any  old  track. 


Anglola    2:07?;    has    won    two    $10,000    purses    this 
She  is  a  bread  winner. 


Dan  Patch  has  five  new  standard  performers  to  his 
credit.  Pretty  good  for  a  starter,  especially  as  one 
of  them  has  a  record  of  2:08%. 


Achllle  2:15%,  the  New  England  stallion,  is  by  Bin- 
'.'6%,    dam    Starlighl     2:15%,    by    Electioneer; 
in  the  once- champion  four-year-old  Sally  Ben- 
ion   2:17%.  who  also  produced  Serpol  -':10  and  other 
fast   ones. 


The  two-year-old  trotter.  Jack  McKerron  (2)  2:23% 

is  certainly  a  great  youngster.  His  mile  at  Elyria  last 
week,  when  he  trotted  a  half  mile  track  that' is  far 
from  being  a  fast  track  in  2:23%,  stamps  him  as  a 
two-year-old  of  more  than  usual  promise.  The  mile 
was  an  easy  one,  the  first  quarter  being  done  in  3S% 
seconds,  the  half  was  reached  in  1:13%  and  the  three- 
quarters  in  1:48%.  and  home  in  2:23%. 


The  geldings  have  shown  up  wonderfully  well  this 
year.  There  are  Wentworth  2:04%,  George  G.  2:05%, 
Tiverton  2:05%,  Dr.  Strong  2:06,  Snyder  McGregor 
2:06%,  Norman  B.  2:06%.  Tom  Axworthy  2:07.  Kid 
Shea  2:07%,  Turley  2:0S.  and  a  few  more  to  hear 
from. 


Everett  L.  Smith,  known  best  to  readers  of  the  turf 
papers  as  "Percy,"  over  which  pen  name  he  has  writ- 
ten interestingly  for  the  American  Horse  Breeder, 
New  Tork  Telegraph  and  other  papers,  has  recently 
connected  himself  with  the  Fiss,  Doer  &  Campbell 
Co..  one  of  the  leading  New*  Tork  horse  dealing  firms. 
Mr.  Smith  will  have  charge  of  the  advertising  depart- 
ment of  that  firm. 


The  21-year-old  stallion  Shenango  won  a  three  in 
five  race  at  Groton,  Mass.,  one  day  last  month  in 
2:39%,  2:40%  and  2:39%.     He's  no  Osier  hoss. 


But  four  trotting  stallions  have  entered  the  2:10  list 
this  season.  One.  Mainland  2:09%,  is  by  Axtell  2:12, 
while  another,  Mainsheet  2:08%,  is  out  of  an  Axtell 
mare. 


Ellemac  2:27,  dam  of  Turley  2:08,  died  recently  at 
Ellemac  Stock  Farm,  Memphis,  Tenn.  Ellemac  was 
15  years  old  and  was  by  Alvan  2:26%,  dam  Linda,  un- 
traced,  and  three  other  foals  by  her  are  all  speedy. 
They  are  by  French  Plate  2:26%.  sire  of  Turley. 


Samana  by  Bingen  2:06%,  out  of  Mont  Rose  2:  IS,  by 
Electioneer,  grandam  Rosemont,  by  Piedmont,  out  of 
Beautiful  Bells  2:29%,  has  taken  a  pacing  record  of 
2:19%. 


Hallina  .Morgan  2:14%,  the  three-year-old  filly  that 
raced  through  the  Colorado  circuit,  and  has  since 
been  racing  through  the  Great  Western  Circuit,  was 
broken  to  harness  at  eight  months  of  age  and  wore 
the  hopples  from  that  day  on  whenever  she  was 
hitched  up.  She  cannot  pace  a  mile  in  three  minutes 
without  the  straps. 


The  San  Francisco  Driving  Club  will  hold  a  meeting 
to-morrow  over  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  track. 


A  new    standard    performer    for    Zombro    2:11    is 
Jealous  2:2f  i's  list  is  getting  to  be  a  most 

creditable  one. 


The  mare  Rosa  Bonheur  by  Antinous  has  reduced 
her   record   to    2:16%    this  year. 

Harold  D.   2:11%   by  Dexter  Prince,   has  been  soldi 
to  a  Philadelphia  gentleman  for  $3250. 


Ed   Geers   has  won   nearly   $30,000   with   the   string 
of  horses  lie  has  raced  through  the  Grand  Circuit. 


The  entry  list  was  so  large  at  Lexington  that  sev- 
eral of  the  races  have  been  divided,  making  two  races. 

Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  announce  for  the  evening  of 
Tuesday.  November  14th,  a  sale  of  thirty  head  of 
trotting  bred  mares  and  geldings  from  the  well  known 
Rose  Dale  Stock  Farm,  Santa  Rosa.  These  animals

son  of  the  great  McKinney  2.11%;  Daly  2:15,  sire  of 
eight  trotters  in  the  list,  and  St.  "Whips,  a  son  of  the 
sire  of  Azote  2:04%.  They  are  out  of  producing 
mares  by  Steinway.  Eugene  Casserly,  Alexander,  An- 
sel, Silas  Skinner,  Daly  and  Digitalis.  This  is  the 
first  of  a  series  of  annual  sales  from  this  farm.  Size, 
conformation,  soundness  and  speed  have  been  the 
aim  in  breeding  these  horses  and  the  public  can  be 
certain  that  they  will  be  just  as  represented.  There 
will  be  many  fine  road  animals  in  the  consignment 
and  a  number  that  have  speed  enough  to  race  and 
win.  Catalogues  will  be  issued  soon  and  can  be  had 
by  application  to  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.,  1732  Market 
street,  San  Francisco,  where  the  sale  is  to  be  held. 


Emma  T.  2:17%  by  Socrates,  dam  of  Miss  Adbell. 
winner  of  this  year's  Kentucky  Futurity,  is  also  the 
dam  of  another  fast  trotter.  On  Friday  of  last  week 
her  daughter.  Emma  Brook,  took  a  record  of  2:11%, 
and  won  second  money  in  the  2:14  class  trot  at  Lex- 
ington.    Emma  Brook  is  by  Silent  Brook  2:16%. 


The  match  race  between  Faust  and  Daisy  May- 
comes'  off  to-morrow  afternoon  over  the  Alameda 
track.     It  is  for  $500  a  side. 


The  matinee  season  will  be  opened  at  Los  Angeles 
on  Thanksgiving  Day  with  an  excellent  program  of 
names?  racing  between  horses  owned  by  members  of

A  dispatch  from  San  Bernardino  dated  October  10th.  I. 
says:    An  attempt  to  kill  "Rosco,"  the  promising  pacer,  I; 
belonging  to  A.   S.  Fox  of  Redlands,   was  discovered  I- 
this  morning  by  the  stableman.     The  horse  had  been    . 
slashed  across  the  throat,  the  blade  being  buried  three    ,'. 
inches    in    the   animal's   neck   and    ripping    open   the 
neck   for  four  inches,  just  missing  the  jugular  vein. 
There  is  no  clew.     The  horse  has  become  renowned 
in  this  section  by  its  fine  appearance  in  matinee  races 
given  here  during  the  past  year  by  the  San  Bernard- 
ino   County   Driving   Club.      The   horse  will   probably 
recover,  but  will  be  scarred  permanently.    Fox  refuse 
$5000   for   the   animal,    and   has   offered   $500   for  th 
apprehension  of  the  miscreant. 


Albuta  by  Altivo  won  $1433  at  the  Columbus  meet- 
ing. He  will  return  to  California  a  winner  of  con- 
siderable more  than  his  expenses  and  with  a  mark  ui 
2:11%   to   his  credit. 


There  is  always  a  little  rift  of  sunshine  in  the 
blackest  cloud.  Quite  a  number  of  the  California 
trainers  who  went  East  have  not  won  much  money, 
but  the  railroad  fare  from  Chicago  to  San  FrancisM 
has  been  reduced  to  $33  which  is  some  consolation. 


Good  prices  are  being  paid  for  good  trotting  colts

he  is  a  real  trotter  that  can  step  away  at  a  2.13  cli

note  that  M*r.  Coler  is  showing  this  noted  horse  unde 
his  true  name  instead  of  giving  him  a  new  one  an 
concealing  his  identity,  as  so  many  poor  sportsme

LEXINGTON    RACES. 


Friday,  October  tith,  the  fourth  day  of  the  Kentucky 
lotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  at  Lexington, 
s,v  a  large  crowd  at  the  track  and  fine  sport  resulted. 

The  feature  of  the  day,  the  Johnstone  stake  for 
jM-class  trotters,  value  $2,000,  was  won  by  Albert 
H  who  defeated  the  $5000  Emma  Brook  in  easy 
jshion  in  three  of  four  heats.  The  race  would  have 
-len  a  gift  for  the  gray  gelding  in  straight  heats  but 
ft  broke  badly  in  the  second  heat,  and  while  he  caught 
is  stride  in  two  or  three  lengths  he  was  unable  to 
lertake  the  mare.  Ed  Geers  won  his  first  race  of 
le  meeting  in  the  second  event,  the  2:12  trot,  when 
\s  Silverthorne  mare  Gold  Dust  Maid  won  the  event 
j  straight  heats  from  Lady  Pauline  C. 

The  2:lS-class  pace,  the  last  event  on  the  card,  was 
•m  by  Dan  P.,  who  captured  three  heats  in  clever 
Wle  after  losing  the  first  heat,  in  which  he  made  a 
"or  showing.  The  unfinished  first  division  of  the 
ilS  trot  was  won  by  A.  Penn,  who  captured  the  final 

■at  from  the  California  mare,  Miss  Kinney,  both  of 
ihom  had  two  heats  to  their  credit  the  previous  after-

On  Saturday,  Dan  Patch,  king  of  pacers,  clipped 
:hree-quarters  of  a  second  from  his  own  world's 
•-ecord.  negotiating  the  mile  in  1:55%.  A  crowd  of 
10,000  was  already  in  a  high  state  of  enthusiasm  over 
the  smashing  of  the  world's  race  record  for  three 
.beats,  and  when  Dan  Patch's  time  was  given  out  the 
Excitement  approached  frenzy.  Cheering  people  threw 
hats  and  wraps  in  the  air  and  swarmed  on  to  the 
track  despite  the  efforts  of  policemen,  the  ovation 
.continuing  several  minutes. 

The  great  son  of  Joe  Patchen  and  Zeelika  appeared 
for  his  trial  at  4  o'clock.  The  track  was  lightning  fast 
■and  there  was  no  wind,  the  weather  conditions  being 
Ideal.  Scott  Hudson  was  behind  the  pacemaker.  A 
strip  of  cloth  between  the  wheels  of  the  forward  sulky 
to  prevent  dirt  from  being  thrown  behind  was  the 
only  suggestion  of  a  wind  shield.  Hersey  was  behind 
Dan  Patch.  The  books  offered  4  to  5  either  way  on 
the  result  of  the  effort.  There  were  cheers  when 
0:29%  was  hung  out  for  the  first  quarter.  Dan  Patch's 
nose  was  almost  against  Hudson's  coat  and  the  crowd 
began  vainly  yelling  to  Hudson  to  move  up.  Hope 
■'was  stimulated  when  0:057%  was  posted  for  the  half. 
Excitement  became  intense  when  the  three-quarters 
was  passed  in  1:26%  and  the  spectators  began  shout- 
ing encouragement  to  the  drivers.  Into  the  stretch 
came  the  great  pacer  still  keeping  his  even  seemingly 
effortless  stride,  when  the  runner  at  his  sulky  wheel 
began  to  crawl  up.  Hudson  gave  a  little  more  rein, 
but  Hersey  sat  a  statute,  not  urging  his  charge  with 
,  whip  or  word.  Dan  Patch  made  no  final  effort. 
He  just  finished  the  mile  as  he  had  begun  it.  He 
had  scarcely  broken  into  a  sweat  when  led  back  to 
receive  the  plaudits  of  the  crowd. 

M.  W.  Savage,  his  owner,  had  the  announcer  pub- 
licly thank  Hudson   for  his   work  as  pacemaker.     He 
also  announced  that  Dan  Patch  on  Wednesday  would 
be  sent  against  the  record  of  1:59%  made  without  a 
.  dustshield. 

1      The  three  fastest  heats  ever  paced  marked  the  2:04 

pace,  and  the  average  time  for  the  total  heats  of  the 

day  was  the  fastest  on  record.     In  the  initial  heat  of 

,  the  2:04  pace  Hazel  Patch  gave  the  Lexington   track 

-  the  1905  race  record  of  2:02%    but  this  was  smashed  in 

t  the  next  heat  won  by  Locanda  in  2:02  flat.     He,  like- 

j  wise    covered    the    third    heat    in    2:04%.      The    three 

finishes    were    pronounced    the    most    heart-breaking 

t  seen  this  year.     Nathan  Straus,  the  favorite  through- 

■  out  the   pooling  though  fields   sold   at   from   60   to   50 

to  50  to  30,  had  to  be  content  with  third  money.     The 

betting  on  the  event  was  the  heaviest  of  the  meeting. 

.  The  Wilson   stake   for   2:20    class   pacers  had   a   field 

,  of  only  four  horses,  and  it  was  won  in  straight  heats 

by  Bolivar,  the  gelding  from  California. 

Scott  Hudson   dro,ve  Nervola  in  the  2:04   pace,  this 
,  being   his   first   appearance   on   the   trotting   turf   this 
aeaaon.

Turley,  Ed  Geer's  bay  gelding  by  French  Plate,  won 
the  feature  of  the  card  on  Thursday,  the  Walnut  Hall 
Farm  cup,  valued  at  $3000.  with  a  handsome  silver 
trophy  valued  at  $500,  donated  by  L.  V.  Harkness,  as 
an  added  feature  for  the  race.  The  second  heat  of  this 
race  resulted  in  Geers  losing  a  claim  of  foul  against 
McDonald,  the  judges  dismissed  the  complaint  and 
placed  the  horses  as  they  had  finished.  The  "Silent" 
reinsman  was  angry,  and  he  plainly  told  McDonald 
he  knew  he  had  been  guilty  of  a  foul.  Geers  won  this 
cup  in  1S97  with  The  Monk  and  again  in  1903  with 
Billy  Buch. 

The  2:10  pace  was  won  by  the  even  money  favorite, 
Citation,  in  straight  heats,  but  she  was  hard  pressed 
to  defeat  Byrle  Wilkes  in  the  last  two  heats.  Ben  F. 
won  third  money. 

The  final  race  of  the  day,  the  2:16  trot,  was  called 
at  the  en,d  of  the  fourth  heat  on  account  of  darkness.

To  go  barefoot  is  the  natural  condition  for  the 
horse,  but  that  is  no  reason  why  farmers  should  let 
young  animals  ruin  their  feet  and  legs  by  neglect- 
ing them  should  the  toes  grow  too  long  or  should  the 
hoofs  become  split.  It  frequently  occurs  that  the 
hoofs  of  colts  have  grown  too  long  in  winter  and 
sometimes  when  they  are  turned  out  to  pasture 
without  having  the  feet  properly  levelled,  undesirable 
conditions  develop  before  any  notice  has  been  taken 
of  the  defects.  A  careful  watch  should  therefore  be 
kept  over  the  feet  of  young  horses  even  in  the  pas- 
ture fields.  A  few  minutes  now  and  again  with  a 
rasp  and  hoof  knife  will  correct  any  malformations 
of  the  hoof  .and  give  the  horse  much  more  comforx 
and  ensure  a  longer  period  of  usefulness. 

The  feet  of  the  colt  should  receive  even  more  care 
than  those  of  the  old  horse.  The  colt  is  in  the  form- 
ative period;  his  entire  form  is  pliable  and  if  the 
feet  are  not  kept  in  proper  condition  the  foot,  fet- 
lock and  leg  may  be  permanently  diverted  from 
their  normal  shape  and  direction.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  pliability  of  the  young  horse's  bony  structure 
and  the  readiness  with  which  defects  will  correct 
themselves  when  the  causes  are  removed,  makes  it 
easy  to  keep  the  colt  in  proper  shape  with  very  lit- 
tle care.  A  writer  in  the  Iowa  "Agriculturist"  gives 
the  following  pointers  on  the  care  of  the  unshod- feet 
of  horses  and  colts: 

'Normally  the  toe  is  three  times  and  the  quarters 
twice  as  long  as  the  heel.  Frequently  the  toe  be- 
comes entirely  too  long.  This  results  in  throwing 
too  much  pressure  upon  the  heel,  which  In  conse- 
quence is  worn  too  thin  and  becomes  sore.  The  ani- 
mal will  now  make  an  effort  to  throw  the  weight 
upon  the  toe  to  relieve  the  heel;  the  toe  becomes 
broken  or  worn  very  short  and  the  heel  grown  out 
longer  than  it  normally  should  so  that  our  animal 
now  becomes  'bear  footed.*  " 

Both  of  these  conditions  are  defective  and  are 
likely  to  injure  the  horse.  When  the  toe  is  too  long 
and  the  heel  becomes  very  thin  and  low  the  axis  of 
the  fetlock  is  broken  backwards,  which  produces  a 
strain  upon  the  tendons  and  ligaments  of  that  region. 
Injury  is  also  done  to  the  bones  of  the  foot.  More- 
over, the  animal  is  defective  in  his.  gait  since  the 
great  length  of  the  toe  interferes  with  the  proper 
lifting  of  the  foot  from  the  ground.  Similarly  in 
the  bear  foot  form  the  axis  of  the  foot  is  broken  for- 
wards and  the  weight  of  the  horse  does  not  fall  upon 
the  center  of  the  foot;  the  tendons  are  strained  and 
his   gait   is   defective. 

Another  serious  danger  is  the  likelihood  of  the 
roof  breaking  aha  cracking.  If  we  allow  it  to  grow- 
too  long  it  becomes  thin  and  in  rapid  work  this  long 
thin  bone  is  almost  certain  to  break.  If  only  the 
surplus  horn  were  broken  off  no  alarm,  arises,  but 
frequently  so  much  is  broken  off  that  it  renders  the 
horse  lame.  In .  the  same  way  cracks  often  arise; 
these  weaken  the  hoof  and  if  they  do  not  receive  at- 
tention, develop  to  serious  proportions. 

Many  horeses  which  wear  shoes  for  the  winter 
months  are  allowed  to  run  barefoot  with  the  return 
of  spring.  At  this  point  care  must  be  taken.  After 
removing  the  shoe  the  foot  must  be  carefully  trim- 
med. With  an  ordinary  hoof  knife  the,  entire  ground- 
ing surface  of  the  hoof  may  be  trimmed  moderately. 
The  sharp  outer  edge  of  the  wall  must  then  be  well 
rounded  off  with  a  rasp,  removing  it  at  the  toe,  gen- 
erally as  far  as  the  white  line  which  appears  on  the 
sole.  Unless  this  precaution  is  taken  before  the 
horse  has  travelled  any  considerable  distance  large 
pieces  of  the  wall  will  be  broken  away.  The  frog 
should  be  trimmed  down  until  nearly,  though  not 
quite  level  with  the  wall.  This  aho'ws  an  even  dis- 
tiibution  of  pressure  upon  the  frog,  sole  and  wall. —

At  the  regular  quarterly  meeting  of  the  American 
Kennel  Club,  held  in  New  York.  September  21st,  1905. 
Coast  kennel  organizations,  among  others,  were  rep- 
resented as  follows:  S.  C.  Mastick  for  the  Oakland 
Kennel   Club. 

Among  the  delegates  elected  to  represent  Coast  clubs 
were:  Clifford  Drake.  Stockton  Kennel  Club;  Arthur 
Letts.  Southwestern  Kennel  Club:  Chas.  K.  Harley, 
Pacific  Sheep  Dog  Club;  Richard  Croker  Jr..  Colorado 
Kennel  Club. 

Credentials  were  filed  by  the  Spokane  Kennel  Club 
nominating  Alexander  H.  Rutherford  as  a  delegate, 
but  were  not  approved  for  the  reason  that  Mr.  Ruther- 
ford was  neither  an  active  or  honorary  member  of 
the   club. 

The  secretary  reported  that  subsequent  to  the  prev- 
ious quarterly  meeting  there  had  been  added  to  the 
roll  of  active  membership  nine  kennel  clubs — five  of 
these  through  the  Pacific  Advisory  Committee,  viz: 
Santa  Cruz  County  Kennel  Club,  Pacific  Sheep  Dog 
Club.  Stockton  Kennel  Club.  Santa  Clara  County  Ken- 
nel Club,  and  the  Deseret  Agricultural  and  Manufac- 
turing Society,  of  Salt  Lake.  Utah. 

With  these  additions  the  roll  of  active  members 
numbers  ninety-nine  clubs,  all  in  good  standing,  and 
is  the  high  water  mark  since  the  organization  of  the 
Association.  Three  applications  for  membership  are 
now  pending,  and  twenty- one  clubs  have  filed  cre- 
dentials, both  of  which  will  be  duly  reported  by  the 
Membership    Committee. 

Among  other  business  transacted  Was  the  disquali- 
fication of  J.  McGhiinness  of  Everett,  Mass..  suspended 
by  the  Lynn  Kennel  Club  for  removing  his  dog  from 
the  club  show  without  authority.

a  claim  for  prize  money  offered  to  the  handler  bring- 
ing the  largest  number  of  dogs  from  "Washington.

The  following  letter  from  C.  K,  Harley  was  read  by 
the  secretary:  '  San  Francisco.  June  13,  1905.  Mr. 
J.  P.  Norman,  secretary.  Pacific  Advisory  Committee. 
Dear  Sir — Owing  to  the  fact  that  for  the  next  two 
years  my  residence  is  to  be  in  the  city  of  New  York, 
I  hereby  tender  my  resignation  as  member  of  the 
Pacific  Advisory  Committee  of  the  American  Kennel 
Club,  to  take  effect  at  once.  Very  truly  yours. 
(Signed).     Charles  K.  Harley." 

It  was  moved  and  seconded,  that  this  committee 
regrets  in  the  extreme  that  circumstances  have  com- 
pelled Mr.  Harley  to  tender  his  resignation,  and  that 
in  view  of  same,  this  committee  accepts  the  resigna- 
tion with  equal  regret.     Carried  unanimously. 

On  motion,  it  was  resolved  to  take  up  the  matter  of 
filling  the  vacancy  on   the  committee. 

The  chair  suggested  that  it  would  have  the  ten- 
dency to  make  this  committee  more  representative 
of  the  clubs  of  the  Coast  and  would  bring  it  more  in 
touch  with  them  if  this  committee  would  give  them 
the  choice  of  selecting  from  a  number  of  fanciers, 
personae  gratae  to  the  committee,  the  one  who  would 
be  most  acceptable  to  the  majority  of  the  clubs.  The 
candidate  receiving  the  largest  number  of  votes  from 
the  clubs  would  be  the  one  nominated  to  the  A.  K.  C. 
for  appointment.  As  the  result  of  considerable  delib- 
eration, he  would  ask  that  the  names  of  Frederick  P. 
Butler,  Walter  W.  Stettheimer  and  Norman  J.  Stewart 
be  placed  in  nomination  for  submittal  to  the  clubs,  if 
such   course  were  adopted   by   the  meeting. 

It  was  moved,  seconded  and  carried,  that  the  sug- 
gestions of  the  chair  be  adopted,  and  the  secretary 
be  instructed  to  submit  to  the  clubs  the  list  of  candi- 
dates  a?  might   be  approved  by  the  meeting. 

The  names  of  W.  W.  Stettheimer,  Frederick  P.  But- 
ler and  Norman  J.  Stewart  were  then  placed  in  nom- 
ination. 

It  was  moved  and  seconded,  that  nominations  be 
closed.     Carried. 

It  was  moved  and  seconded  that  the  three  names 
mention-  1 1  be  submitted  to  the  clubs  for  a  choice. 
Carried. 

A  petition  was  then  read  from  the  Southwestern 
Kennel  Club,  asking  that  John  Riplinger  and  others, 
disqualified  by  reason  of  having  held  a  bench  show  at 
Seattle  during  the  month  of  April,  in  contravention 
of  the  rules  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  be  rein- 
to  g 1  standing.     On  motion,  the  consideration 


of  the  petition  was  postponed  to  the  next  meeting. 

There  being  no  further  business,  the  meeting  a< 
journed.

seelrs  a  further  extension  of  thirty  days,  in  which 
to  file  proof  of  the  allegations.  On  motion,  it  was 
resolved,  that  such  extension  be  granted. 

Tucker  vs.  Seattle  Dog  Fanciers'  Association.  A 
protest: 

It  appears  from  the  complaint  that  this  was  an 
appeal  filed  with  the  Bench  Show  Committee  after 
the  expiration  of  the  seven  days  allowed  for  such 
appeal,  and  the  protest  was  overruled  on  that 
ground  by  the  executive  board  of  the  defendant  club: 
the  complainant  alleged  that  at  the  dog  show  of  the 
S.  D.  F.  A.,  held  in  April.  1905,  the  special  prize,  a 
silver  cup,  offered  for  the  best  American-bred  Aire- 
dale Terrier,  was  awarded  to  Colne  Sandy,  owned  by 
W.  F.  Delabatre,  of  Port  Los  Angeles,  registered  in 
the  A.  K.  C.  S.  B.t  No.  7S510,  as  being  bred  by 
Joseph  H.  Lauris,  of  Montreal,  Can.  Reserve  was 
awarded  to  Dr.  George  Newlands'  Colne  Lochiel.  A. 
K.  C.  S.  B.,  S1106,  bred  by  the  same  breeder.  The 
defendant  club  having  refused  to  consider  the  pro- 
test, it  was  resolved  on  motion  that  it  be  instructed 
to  return  the  deposit  of  $5  to  the  plaintiff  pending 
the  decision  of  this  committee,  the  said  deposit  to  be 
transmitted  through  this  committee,  and  it  was 
further  resolved  that  the  secretary  be  and  hereby  is 
instructed  to  take  steps  for  the  procurance  of  further 
information  in  the  case. 

In  the  case  of  G.  C.  Israel:  A  petition  for  the  re- 
moval of  disqualification. 

The  petitioner  sets  forth  under  date  of  August  S  at 
Olympia,  Wash.,  that  he  was  disqualified  with  many 
others  for  having  exhibited  at  the  dog  show  held  in 
April,  1905,  by  the  Seattle  Kennel  Club,  in  contraven- 
tion of  the  rules  of  the  American  Kennel  Club  as 
enunciated  by  the  Pacific  Advisory  Committee,  that 
he  exhibited  under  a  misapprehension  and  in  ignor- 
ance of  said  rules,  and  that  he  is  and  always  was 
loyal  to  the  American  Kennel  Club,  and  for  those 
reasons  prays  for  reinstatement  to  good  standing  on 
filing  with  the  secretary  of  this  committee  an  under- 
taking that  he  will  not  in  future  exhibit  at  any  dog 
ishow  that  is  not  held  under  the  rules  and  with  the 
sanction  of  the  American  Kennel  Club. 

Burnham  vs.  Lepman:  A  charge  of  fraud  and 
misconduct. 

>  This  charge,  brought  by  Dr.  W.  P.  Burnham,  of 
3an  Francisco,  against  Horace  G.  Lepman,  of  Chicago, 
Ithat  the  plaintiff  sent  the  defendant  $135  in  pay- 
■ment  of  a  Collie  bitch,  that  the  defendant  received 
'the  money,  of  which  proof  is  furnished,  and  that  de- 
fendant has  not  to  date  delivered  the  bitch  or  re- 
turned the  money,  nor  has  he  made  any  other 
acknowledgment  or  return.  The  secretary  stated 
|:hat  he  had  sent  defendant  an  attested  copy  of  the 
charge,  and  had  allowed  him  the  customary  time  in 
.vhich  to  make  answer.  On  motion  the  case  was  laid 
apon  the  table,  awaiting  defendant's  answer  or 
presentation   at    the   next    regular  meeting. 

Butler  vs.  C.  W.  Buttles,  of  Kansas  City:  A  charge 
>f  fraudulent  misrepresentation. 

This  is  a  charge  brought  by  Fred.  P.  Butler,  of 
*3an  Francisco,  that  defendant  advertised  a  Setter 
log  for  sale,  nine  months  old,  high  class  and  well 
nade,  and  that  plaintiff  bought  the  dog  on  those 
■epresentations.  On  arrival  the  dog  was  found  to  be 
,m  exceedingly  poor  specimen,  of  which  fact  plaintiff 
.dduces  corroborative  testimony,  and  accuses  defend- 
imt  of  fraud  and  misrepresentation.  The  secretary 
tated  that  he  had  sent  defendant  an  attested  copy  of 
•he  charge,  and  had  alowed  him  the  usual  time  in 
vhich  to  make  answer.  On  motion,  consideration  of 
he  case  was  postponed  until  the  next  regular  meeting. 

There  being  no  further  business,  the  meeting 
djourned. 

Attest.  J.  P.  NORMAN,  Secretary. 


STOCKTON    SHOW. 


The  A.  K.  C,  at  the  above  mentioned  meeting,  con- 
idered  an  important  question  when  the  status  of 
udges — amateur  and  professional,  was  discussed  from 
ap  to  bottom.  Lack  of  space  this  week  necessitates 
iving  that  portion  of  the  published  proceedings  of 
he  meeting  in  our  next  issue. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Advisory  Committee  held  last 
■eek.  we  are  informed,  that  in  the  Buttles  case,  the 
efendant  was  disqualified.  So  far  as  the  penalty 
oes,  it  is  a  move  in  the  right  direction,  for  the  re- 
ression  of  the  growing  practice  of  unscurpulous 
ealers   in   taking  undue  advantage   of   purchasers   at 

distance.  We  had  an  opportunity  of  viewing  the 
ag  shortly  after  Mr.  Butler  came  into  possession  of 
[  ..  The  description  of  the  animal  that  induced  the 
urchase  was  so  much  at  variance  with  the  appear- 
ice  of  the  animal  when  we  saw  it,  that  we  believe, 
ad  purchaser  and  seller  a  residence  in  the  same  dis- 
'ict,  that  a  criminal  charge  for  obtaining  money 
ider  false  pretences  would  be  in  order. 

The  Lepman  case  is  similar  in  principle.  As  will 
e  apparent  here  is  another  illustration  of  where 
le  distant  purchaser  could  be  at  the  caprice,  or  uis- 

mest  indifference,   of   a   dealer.     In   this  matter   the 

oard  were  apprised,  by  telegram,  that  letters  cover- 
i  g,  or  explaining  the  case,  were  on  the  way.  How- 
,rer,  nothing  documentary  had  materialized  and   the 

atter  was  laid  over  until  the  next  meeting. 

In   the    Chute   vs.    Morris   episode,    Mr.    Morris   was 

ven  further  time  in  which  to  procure  certain  affi- 
iivits   necessary    to    substantiate    the    statements    in 

s  published  letter. 

,  Charges  were  brought  against  E.  F.  Harris  of 
!  ockton  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  P.  A.  Committee. 
|T  alleged  utterances  derogatory  to  the  Stockton 
.  ennel  Club  and  is  officers.  On  sifting  the  matter 
|  r.   Harris    was    exonerated    and    what    at    one    time 

I'omised  to  become  a  disagreeable  mess  was  rele- 
.ted  to  the  waste  basket.  Mr.  Harris"  remarks  and 
iticisms  were  apparently  distorted,  his  explanation 
the  matter  upset  hearsay  evidence,  and  the  inci- 
nt,  happily,  is  now  closed. 


The  Stockton  Kennel  Club  is  to  be  congratulated  on 
the  success — in  every  respect — of  the  initial  show,  a 
three  pointer  at  that. 

The  attendance  was  good  every  day,  the  closing 
night  being  practically  a  swell  society  function. 

Generally  speaking  everything  passed  off  in  smooth 
and  satisfactory  fashion.  A  little  friction  arose; 
where  has  there  been  a  Coast  show  when  the  makings 
of  a  ruction  did  not  germinate?  The  casus  belli  was, 
however,  not  material  in  itself,  but  apparently  magni- 
fied by  irresponsible  repetition.  Common  sense  and 
good  fellowship  finally  prevailed  and  the  incident  was 
buried.

i    ted   as  suneri.nenJ.ent  and  ring  steward   until 

evening  when  he  was  recalled  to  this  city  by 

telegram      On  Sat  irday,  Mr.  Phil.  C.  Meyer  acted  as 

s  iperintendent  and  ring  steward. 

The  efforts  of  all  of  the  above  named  gentlemen 
were  material  in  the  init  al  sjccess  of  the  club's  show 
( :  reer. 

The  judges  were:  Mr.  Fred  P.  Butler,  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. Pointers  and  Setters;  Mr.  Geo.  A.  Cranfield, 
Greyhounds;  Mr.  J.  F.  Mahoney,  of  San  Francisco, 
tt.  Bernards;  Dog  Haulier  Bradshaw  looked  after  all 
Spaniels;  Mr  Chas.  Lyndon,  late  of  Toronto,  Canada, 
all  other  breeds. 

A  noticeable  feature  was  the  cordial  support  of  the 
show  by  San  Francisco  fanciers  who  were  generous  in 
entries,  many  of  them  for  exhibition  only,  a  precedent 
that  can  be  followed  in  the  future  to  the  mutual 
benefit  of  the  circuit  of  show  giving  clubs. 

The  absentees  from  the  judging  ring  were  more 
than  usually  noted  at  shows,  but  there  wrere  good 
reasons  for  this.  John  M.  Golobeck  w-as  in  hard  luck 
with  a  siring  of  setters  from  Crockett — the  boat  failed 
to  land  at  that  point,  consequently  the  dogs  were  not  _ 
ju  'gefl:  Being  a  thorough  sportsman,  he  was  present 
with  the  dogs  the  following  day. 

Dave  Sin'  lair  was  the  recipient  of  a  pleasant  testi- 

I  on  Friday  evening  just  prior  to  his  departure. 

He  was  "callei   to  account  and   roasted"  for  running 

n    President   F.   N.    Vail   after  a  brief  and 

ress   eulogistic   of  Dave's   serv.ces  to 

rented  him  with  a  fine  stein  upon  which 

d.   "To   the  best  DOG   Superintendent  of 

the   Stockton    Bench    Show."      Dave    was    non-piussed 

with  surprise  and  emotion — sentiments  not. usual  with 

,  lie!   in  a  fitting  manner  his  pleasure  in 

the   val  ted  testimonial  from  sportsmen  and 

goo  i    fellow  s 

Whil-t  .Mr.  Meyer's  pecognition  was,  perhaps,  not  as 
substantial,   it   was  none  the  less  sincere,  for  the  club 
Mia  an  unanimous  vote  of  thanks  for  his  volun- 
tary and  appreciated  services.

Manager  Phillips  of  the  Crockett  Kennels  states 
that  he  has  more  orders  for  broken  dogs  than  he 
can  supply.  He  left  for  Arbuckle,  Colusa  county,  this 
week,  where  he  has  some  good  quail  country  staked 
out  in  which  he  will  work  and  give  the  finishing 
touches  to  a  string  of  dogs  Since  the  Crockett  Ken- 
nels  were  started,  a  short  time  ago,  business  has 
been  excellent  and  the  outlook  is  good.  Mr.  Phillips 
is  a  painstaking  and  reliable  trainer  and  proposes  to 
turn  out  dogs  that  come  under  his  care,  in  A  No.  1 
condition.  Mr.  Golobeck,  his  partner,  is  a  well  known 
sportsman,  the  owner  of  Ch.  Cato  Jr.  and  Cato's 
Judge.  Both  of  these  grand  English  Settlers  are 
now  in  the  stud. 


Englewood  Kennels  have  recently  been  arranged., 
by  the  addition  of  more  kennel  room,  for  the  care  of 
some  promising  young  Collies  and  Bull  Terriers. 


Mr.  Rogers,  of  Dundee,  Mich.,  was  on  a  visit  to  San 
Jose  last  wreek.  Mr.  Rogers,  who  is  one  of  the  oldest 
Collie  fanciers  in  America,  it  is  believed  will  locate  in 
Denver,  after  his  trip  through  this  State.

in  the  mind's  eye  of  the  shotgun  fraternity,  for  with 
to-morrow's  dawn  their  will  be  a  change  from  inani-. 
mate  to  animate  targets,  and  so,  vale  the  trap  season 
of  1905,  which  has  been  a  good  one,  and  in  relation 
thereto,   more  anon. 


The  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club  two  day  tournament  last 
week  is  reported  by  the  southern  scribes  as  follows: 

Keen  of  eye  and  steady  of  hand,  smashing  his  birds 
into  impalpable  dust  with  the  consistency  character- 
istic of  the  thoroughly  trained  trap  shot  that  all  local 
saucer-splinters  know  him  to  be,  Fred  Mills,  of  Santa 
Ana,  Saturday  qualified  for  high  average  in  the  open- 
ing round  of  the  Los  Angeles  Gun  Club's  nineteenth 
semi-annual  tournament  over  the  Sherman  grounds 
with  the  magnificent  average  of  even  92  per  cent. 

Given  a  close  race  all  day  by  "Bob"  Bungay  whose 
remarkable  improvement  has  been  the  talk  not  only  of 
local  trigger  knights,  b_t,  s  nee  the  Interstate  Associ- 
ation handicap  at  Ingleside,  of  g  nners  the  Coat  o/er 
as  well,  there  was  a  pretty  t  issle  for  average  honors, 
and  it  went  a  long  way  to  relieve  the  disappointment 
caused  by  the  small  tournout  that  has  been  enter- 
tained in  any  semi-ann  ial  fixture  for  a  long  time. 
Lack  of  advertisement  owing  to  the  short  time  is  re- 
sponsible, and  hereafter  the  club  w.ll  see  that  its 
events  are  programmed  a  month  ahead  at  least. 

With  two  very  promising  contests  in  the  two-man 
team  cup  and  Tufts-Lyon  medal  to  feature  the  usual 
fifteen  bird  sweepstakes,  three  squads  of  local  and 
visiting  triggers-yankers  hied  themselves  to  Sherman 
early  Saturday  morning.  Of  the  party  were  E.  C. 
Wilson,  who  came  down  from  Bakersfield;  Harrv 
Hoyt,  who  packed  up  in  a  hurry  and  left  San  Fran- 
cisco at  an  hour's  notice,  and  G.  M  Kanouse,  late  of 
Indianapolis,  but*  hereafter  ha. ling  from  Los  Angele^; 
Fred  Mills,  Clyde  Walker  and  a  few  other  outside 
shooters  represent  the  advance  guard  of  a  consider- 
able country  delegation  which  was  expected  the  fol- 
lowing morning. 

Favored  by  a  bright,  but  cool  day,  tempered  with 
the  balmiest  of  ocean  breezes,  it  was  a  pity  that  fifty 
instead  of  fifteen  were  not  on  hand  to  help  out  the 
fun. 

Of  average  events,  there  were  programmed  150 
birds,  and  Fred  Mills  with  13S  breaks,  carr.ed  off  high 
honors,  Bungay  being  only  two  birds  behind.  On  the 
whole  day  he  beat  Mills  out,  but  the  medals  and 
practice  events  did  not  count. 

High  run  went  to  Mills  with  a  straight  run  of  61 
consecutive  breaks — the  big  Santa  Ana  rancher  could 
not  miss.  No  one  else  was  within  fifteen  b.rds  of  do- 
ing as  well,  and  it  was  doubtful  if  the  run  would  be 
exceeded  next  day — and  it  was  not. 

Interest  as  usual  centered  about  the  trophy  events, 
and  general  applause  greeted  Bob  Bungay's  victory  in 
the  Tuft-Lyon  trophy  when  he  snuffed  out  23  and  24 
for  a  total  of  47,  taking  the  jewelry  from  Guy  Love- 
lace who  hda  held  it  long  enough.  Charlie  Julian  of 
San  Diego,  who  was  in  consistent  form,  proved  a  good 
second  with   4G. 

Again  Bungay  ran  in  the  money  when  with  C.  D 
Hagerman  he  cleaned  up  the  two-man  cup  race  with 
24  each  for  a  total  of  48.  Julian  was  as  ever  hot  on 
the  trail;  he  came  through  with  24,  but  his  partner, 
Fred  Gilbert,  missed  two  birds  and  totalled  the  team 
at  47. 

On  Sunday,  R,  H.  Bungay  went  to  the  front  again, 
for  he  succeeded  in  giving  "the  jostle"  to  Mills,  who 
has,  for  many  years,  been  considered  the  only  real 
hot  potato  of  the  south  with  the  shotg  in.  There  was 
a  question  as  to  whether  he  would  retain  the  cham- 
pionship or  surrender  it  to  Bungay,  and  Fred  had  two 
guesses.  The  guess  was  close,  as  it  finally  turned  out, 
for  Bungay  won  with  one  bird  or  one-third  of  I  per 
cent. 

Eighteen  men  faced  the  traps  Sunday  and  tried 
their  best  to  better  the  rather  poor  scores  of  89  2-3 
and   S9   1-3,  made  by  Bungay  and  Mills,  respectively. 

One  of  the  features  of  the  day  was  the  live-man- 
team  contest.  The  race  was  won  by  Harry  Hoyt, 
Charlie  Julien,  Clyde  Walker,  Fred  Mills  and  L 
Walker.  The  score  was  the  best  ever  recorded  for 
the  trophy,  114  out  of  a  possible  125  birds.  Not  one 
man  of  the  five  shot  below  22  for  his  possible  25. 

In  the  Individual  championship  shoot  at  50  targets, 
evi  ned   up  matters  by  breaking  40  targets, 
beating  .Smith  and  P.reer  by  1  bird  each. 

The  scores  for  both  days  follow: 

Saturday,  October  7th,  1905,  fifteen  targets  each:

INSTRUCTIVE    SHORT    COURSES. 

The  agricultural  department  of  the 
University  of  California  has  made  un- 
usual preparation  to  render  this  year'r 


short    courses    in 


various    branches   of 


agriculture  attractive  and  helpful  to 
many  classes  of  producers.  These 
short  courses  are  open  without  exam- 
ination to  men  and  women  of  all  ages, 
who  desire  to  spend  a  few  weeks  in  an 
earnest  effort  to  gain  some  knowledge 
of  agricultural  science  and  improved 
practice — particular  emphasis  being 
laid,  of  course,  upon  the  practical  side. 
There  is  no  charge  for  instruction,  the 
pupil  merely  providing  for  his  own 
traveling  expenses  and  board  while  in 
Berkeley,  except  in  the  dairy  course, 
in  which  a  small  fee  is  required  to 
cover  cost  of  material  used.  This  year's 
3hort  courses  will  have  a  new  feature 
in  the  fact  that  they  are  conducted  in 
co-operation  with  various  state  organ- 
izations of  agriculturists  who  are 
represented  in  both  the  lecture  work 
and  discussions.  The  subjects  in  which 
instruction  will  be  given  are  the  fol- 
lowing: 

!  (1)  Fruit  Growing,  including  injuri- 
ous insects  and  plant  diseases;  Octo- 
ber ISth  to  October  31st. 
]  (2)  General  Agriculture  and  the 
Animal  Industry,  including  Dairying, 
October  25th  to  November  21st. 

(3)  Irrigation  and  the  Reclamation 
Service,  October  25th  to  October  31st. 

(4)  Nutrition  of  both  men  and  do- 
mestice  animals,  including  poultry, 
November  16th  to  November  21st. 

{  (5)  Special  work  in  Entomology, 
November  2nd  to  November  2Sth. 

1  (6)  Special  course  in  Viticulture, 
January  Ifith  to  February  14th. 

The  pupil  is  permitted  to  concentrate 
his  work  upon  special  lines  or  to  select 
widely,  if  he  desires  to  secure  a  general 
view  of  California  agriculture.  An  il- 
lustrated pamphlet  giving  detailed  in- 
formation about  these  courses  can  be 
had  by  application  to  E  J.  Wickson, 
Dean  of  the  College  of  Agriculture, 
Berkeley,  California. 


THE  ENGLISH    FARMER. 


|     When   the   American   farmer    is    in  - 
Ijclined  to  feel  "gravely"  over  the  condi- 
tions of  his  life,  he  will  find  some  con- 
solation in  the  thought  that  farmers  in 

I  other  countries  are  worse  off  than  he 
is.     In  England,   for   instance,   farmers 

■  are  compelled  to  take  out  more  licenses 
to  conduct  their  business  than  any 
other  class  of  business  men.  Some  idea 
of  the  enormous  tax  on  English  farm- 
ill  ing    can    be    had    from    the    following 

:  letter  written  by  an  English  farmer  to 

this  brother  in  Michigan.     He  says: 

"First  of  all,  in  January,  I  had  to 
write  to  the  excise  offices  for  a  form 
of  exemption  to  keep  my  old  sheep  dog. 
The  form  came  back  in  about  a  fort- 
night. Then  I  had  to  fill  it  up  and 
return  it  before  I  got  the  license  to

The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland,  0 


could  not  climb  up  into  my  trap,  so 
I  purchased  a  light-weight  four-wheel. 
A  letter  from  the  local  officer  of  ex- 
cise pointed  out  to  me  the  fact  that 
a  license  of  $5  had  to  be  taken  out. 

"Cider  running  short,  I  had  to  pro- 
vide something  for  my  farm  hands  to 
drink,  so  I  thought  that  I  would  obtain 
a  couple  of  sacks  of  barley  malt,  the 
barley  being  grown  in  England,  and 
brew  a  few  gallons  of  ale.  To  do  this 
I  had  to  take  out  another  license. 

"I  have  a  traction  engine,  with  which 
I  do  my  farm  work,  such  as  threshing, 
etc.,  and  between  whiles  a  bit  of  haul- 
ing. This  necessitates  my  taking  out 
the  most  expensive  license  of  all,  one 
for  $50.  On  the  farm  there  are  usually 
a  few  partridges  and  a  stray  pheasant 
or  two,  reared  and  fed  at  my  expense. 
To  shoot  these  I  have  to  obtain  a  game 
license,  which  costs  me  $15. 

"Now,  I  sell  a  few  gallons  of  milk, 
and  to  do  this  I  have  to  get  my  prem- 
ises registered  by  the  local  medical  of- 
ficer of  health.  This  is  practically  an- 
other license.  Flowing  right  through 
my  farm  is  a  splendid  trout  stream,  yet 
before  I  can  attempt  to  entice  one  of 
the  spotted  beauties  from  beneath  its 
surface,  I  have  to  take  out  another  li- 
cense. 

"If  I  send  my  sow  to  a  neighbor  I 
have  to  go  to  the  policeman  for  a  li- 
cense for  her,  which  he  issues  on  con- 
dition that  she  does  not  remain  away 
more  than  four  days.  You  may  smile, 
but  it's  an  official  fact.  If  I  sell  my 
neighbor  a  few  pigs  I  have  to  obtain 
a  license  to  remove  them.  If  I  send 
a  lot  of  fat  baconers  to  town  to  be 
killed,  another  visit  to  the  policeman 
is  necessary.  If  I  decide  to  have  them 
killed  at  home,  I  must  have  my  farm 
building  licensed  as  a  slaughterhouse.

BEST   SHAPE    FOR   SILOS. 

Round  silos  usually  are  preferred  be- 
cause they  contain  more  per  square 
foot  of  wall  surface  and  silage  settles 
evenly  and  is  better  preserved  when 
there  are  no  corners  to  hold  air  and 
mould.  Silage  in  a  round  silo  thirty- 
two  feet  deep,  if  finely  cut  and  well 
settled,  will  weigh  about  40  pounds  per 
cubic  foot.  A  feed  for  a  cow  is  from 
12  to  20  pounds  once  or  twice  a  day 
according  to  the  supply,  so  it  is  easy 
to  figure  the  size  of  silo  necessary  for 
any  number  of  cows.  Horses  should 
have  only  one  feed  a  day  of  silage, 
and  usually  from  six  to  ten  pounds  is 
sufficient  although  some  horses  will 
make  good  use  of  much  more.  Sheep 
do  well  on  silage  and  are  very  fond 
of  it,  but  it  should  be  given  them  spar- 
ingly in  one  feed  per  day,  preferably 
at  noon  time.  Silage  is  also  relished 
by  hogs  and  chickens,  so  there  is  not 
much  danger  of  getting  too  much 
silage  on  the  farm. 

Large  silos,  however,  are  not  advis- 
able ;  it  is  better  to  have  two  silos 
twelve  feet  in  diameter  than  one  silo 
twenty  feet  in  diameter.  A  silo 
should  be  at  least  thirty  feet  deep  in 
order  to  get  the  necessary  pressure. 


ALASKA    DAIRYING. 


C.  V.  Piper  of  the  Alaska  Experiment 
Station,  in  his  report,  in  the  annual 
report  of  the  office  of  experiment  sta- 
tions, sets  forth  the  possibilities  of 
dairying  in  Alaska  as  follows: 

Milk  cows,  of  various  breeds  have 
long  been  kept  at  most  of  the  coast 
settlements,  and  the  common  testimony 
is  that  they  do  exceedingly  well  while 
feeding  on  the  green  grasses.  Prof. 
Georgeson's    tests    have    demonstrated 


The  Udder  Side  of  the  Milk  Question 


the  road  to  clover,  again  I  have  to 
visit  that  policeman.  As  all  these  li- 
censee have  been  necessary  for  my 
business,  and  not  one  of  them  is  for 
luxury,  such  as  male  servants  or  ar- 
morial bearings,  I  really  think  that 
the  farmer  can  justly  claim  that  his 
business  is  the  most  licensed  in  the 
kingdom." — Southern  Tobacconist. 


If  your  blacksmith  knows  his  busi- 
ness your  horses  will  be  properly  shod, 
but  do  not  lay  the  foot  troubles  of  the 
horse  to  the  door  of  the  blacksmith, 
for  the  chances  are  you  are  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  trouble  because  you  will 
not  keep  the  floor  of  the  stables  clean 
and  thus  avoid  thrush. 

There  is  no  reason  why  there  should 
not  be  a  gutter  behind  the  horses,  such 
as  are  behind  the  cows,  and  thus  avoid 
to  some  extent  the  possibility  of  the 
horse  standing  in  his  excrement.  Then, 
keep  close  watch  of  the  hoofs  and  see 
that  they  are  cleansed  daily.  An  ex- 
cellent way  to  do  this  is  to  have  a  few 
blunt  sticks  of  hickory,  a  stiff  brush 
or  two  and  one  or  more  coarse  sponges. 
Go  at  it  in  this  way:  With  the  sticks 
dig  out  substances  and  then  cleanse 
with  the  stiff  brush  and  finally  wash 
with  the  sponge,  using  tepid. water,  in 
which  a  dozen  drops  or  a  teaspoonful 
of  carbolic  acid  has  been  mixed.  Try 
it,  keep  it  up  and  avoid  thrush. 


Idaho  has  passed  a  law  that  all  but- 
ter sold,  or  offered  for  sale  within  the 
State,  shall  have  the  name  of  the  man- 
ufacturer and  the  place  of  manufac- 
turer stamped  upon  the  label.  The 
pack  must  also  have  the  exact  num- 
ber of  pounds  stamped  on  the  wrapper. 


Some  horses  cannot  do  good  work, 
because  their  collars  do  not  fit;  and 
because  the  harness  is  not  adjusted 
properly. 


that  they  kept  up  an  excellent  milk 
flow  on  bench  grass  silage,  and  doubt- 
less the  other  grasses  are  quite  as 
nutritious. 

For  two  reasons  I  am  impelled  to 
believe  that  the  utilization  of  the 
Alaska  grass  lands  will  yield  most 
profit  through  dairying:  (1)  Because 
of  the  necessaritly  long  feeding  period 
— five  to  six  months — during  which 
only  dairy  cows  yield  a  compensating 
return,  and  (2)  the  freight  to  distant 
markets  on  concentrated  products  like 
butter  or  cheese  is  not  a  serious  factor. 

There  are  many  admirable  sites  for 
dairy  colonies  or  settlements,  not  only 
on  Kadiak  Island,  but  also  other 
islands  and  on  the  mainland.  Dairying 
is  to  be  one  of  the  chief  industries  in 
the  proposed  Finnish  Colony  on  the 
Kenai  Peninsula.  With  such  enormous 
wealth  of  grass  as  southwestern  Alaska 
possesses  it  is  difficult  to  doubt  that  it 
will  become  a  great  dairy  country.  It 
is  doubtful,  if  equally  good  opportun- 
ities for  colonies  of  dairy  husbandmen 
can  be  found  in  the  United  States  to- 
day. Certainly  there  is  no  place  left 
where  320-acre  homesteads  of  magnifi- 
cent grass  lands  can  be  had  for*  the 
taking. 


Dry-picking  is  always  to  be  pre- 
ferred when  preparing  turkeys  for 
market.  When  in  fine  condition,  nicely 
picked,  and  sent  to  market  without 
having  been  packed  in  ice,  a  turkey  is 
at  its  best,  and  consequently  commands 
the  highest  price.  As  soon  as  the  fowl 
is  stuck  and  the  blood  is  still  flowing, 
pluck  the  feathers  dry  from  Its  body, 
taking  care  in  doing  this  not  to  break 
the  skin  or  tear  the  flesh  Nothing  de- 
tracts so  much  from  dressed  ooultry 
as  torn  places  upon  the  carcas  or 
shank;  picking  must  be  clean  ami 
nicely  done.  When  the  fowl  is  plucked 
hang  it  head  down  in  a  cool  place  until 


all  animal  heat  is  gone  from  the  body, 
being  careful  not  to  hang  it  where  it 
will  be  exposed  to  cold  air  as  to  be 
likely  to  freeze.  Do  not  remove  the 
head,  feet,  or  entrails,  but  have  the 
whole  carcass,  including  head  and  feet. 
perfectly  clean. 


The  Wood  Live  Stock  Compnay, 
which  operates  mainly  at  Spencer, 
Idaho,  is  aiming  to  keep  a  flock  of 
100.000  breeding  ewes.  All  the  in- 
crease is  sold  as  four  or  six-months 
lambs,  no  ewe  lambs  being  saved  for 
future  breeders.  They  sell  off  each  year 
all  the  toothless  ewes,  all  the  non- 
breeders  and  do  not  even  keep  those 
that  have  failed  to  breed  for  one  sea- 
son. The  breeding  flock  is  kept  up  by 
the  purchase  of  strong  heavy  fleeced 
ewes,  preference  being  given  to  Oregon 
stock  that  shear  ten  to  twelve  pounds. 
The  rams  used  are  of  the  best  mutton 
breeds,  thus  keeping  up  both  sides  of 
the  business — the  ewe  flock  producing 
wool  enough  to  pay  the  expenses  while 
the  SO  to  90  per  cent  lamb  crop  makes 
the    profits. 


At  the  Iowa  station  it  was  found 
that  turnips  injure  the  flavor  of  both 
milk  and  butter.  This  injury  is  due  to 
volatile  acids  which  can  be  driven  off 
by  heating  the  milk  to  160  degrees  for 
a  short  time.  Beets  increased  the  milk 
and  butter  product  and  caused  all  the 
cows,  even  Jerseys,  to  lay  on  fat  quite 
rapidly.  When  the  roots  were  discon- 
tinued butter  fat  decreased  and  the 
cows  ceased  to  gain  weight,  and  it  took 
more  pounds  of  feed  (calculated  to  dry 
matter)  to  produce  a  pound  of  butter. 
When  turned  on  pasture  there  was  im- 
mediate increase  of  milk,  butter  and 
live  weight.  Feeding  bran  during  part 
of  the  grazing  period  produced  suffi- 
cient gain  to  yield  a  small  profit.

POOR    FEED    FOR    HORSES. 


Sometimes    it    seems    as    if    poor    or 

iged  food  may  be  given  fowls  and 

without    injury   if    it    is   skillfully 

mixed  with  the  better  quality,  although 

there   is  a   ri^k  in  this  sort  of  feedng. 

The  horse,  on  the  other  hand,  does  nor 

to   he  able  to  take  his  share  of 

and    the    feeding    of    it 

:  esults   in   a    bad  stomach   or 

I    trouble.      These    organs    of    the 

horse    are   much    more    sensitive     and 

tte  than  is  generally  supposed  and 

should  therefore  be  used  in 

tng. 

Poor    hay    is    another    bad    thing  for 

horses    and    it    is    also    poor    policy    to 

attempt  to  carry  a  horse  very  far  on 

hay,  whether  good  or  poor,  and  water, 

feeding  small  quantities  of  grain.    Be- 

i    all    doubt    oats    are    the    best   of 

any   grain   for   horses,    but   it   is   quite 

as    good    policy    to    furnish   variety   to 

the    horses   as    to    the    other   stock    on 

the    farm,    but   making    sure    that    the 

animal  has  one  feed  daily  of  first  class 

oats,    and    that   oats    form   one   of   the 

grains   in   one   of  the   mixtures  of  the 

day.     Let  all  of  the  food  be  first  class, 

including  the  hay,  and  the  horses  will 

thrive   on   it  and  really   eat   less    than 

of  the   poor  food. 


HORSE   STEAKS    IN    GERMANY. 


Consul-General  Mason  at  Berlin,  Ger- 
many, sends  a  report  that  horse  steaks 
are  a  common  article  of  food  in  Ger- 
many, and  that  horse  meat  consump- 
tion is  on  the  increase.  In  southern 
Germany,  and  notably  in  Saxony, 
where  the  percentage  of  working  peo- 
ple in  factories  is  large,  the  consump- 
tion of  horse  flesh  is  an  important  item 
and  is  rapidly  increasing. 

About  3,S00  horses  were  killed  in 
Breslau  alone  last  year,  for  human 
food.  In  Berlin,  the  choicest  cuts  of 
horse  meat  sell  at  eight  and  ten  cents 
a  pound.  Heat  from  the  poor  quar- 
ters or  meat  from  any  part  of  poor,  old 
or  inferior  horses  brings  three  and 
four  cents.  The  liver  is  considered  a 
delicate  morsel  and  brings  10  cents  a 
pound.     , 

The  inferior  pieces  are  ground  into 
the  strongly  spiced  and  garlicky  sau- 
sages that  are  the  favorite  food  of 
many  German  servants  and  working 
people.  These  sausages  must  be  plain- 
ly labeled  "horse  flesh."  Outside  the 
city  this  regulation  isn't  in  force,  so 
that  large  quantities  of  horse  sausage 
are  sold  in  the  country  districts  or  are 
exported  to  neighboring  countries  as 
ordinary  pork  sausage. 


DAIRY    QUALITY    INHERENT. 


The  early  Shorthorn  and  Teeswater 
cattle  possessed  much  dairy  excellence 
and  when  first  brought  to  America 
Shorthorns  earned  the  name  of  the 
milk  breed.  Among  old  records  are 
those  of  cows  giving  six,  eight,  and 
even  nine  gallons  of  milk  a  day  on 
grass  alone.  Although  now  latent  in 
most  lines,  a  dairy  quality  seems  in- 
herent in  the  breed  which  some  careful 
managers  are  able  successfully  to  de- 
velop and  propagate.  Records  of  sev- 
eral dairy  herds  in  the  United  States 
within  a  quarter  of  a  century  show  a 
milking  season  of  about  275  days  and 
an  average  product  of  6,500  pounds  of 
milk.  One  herd  of  ten  cows,  from 
three    to   twelve   years  old,   gave   7,750 

is  each  in  a  year.  Single  cows 
have  averaged  much  more,  several  in- 

es  being  known  of  10.000  to  12,000 

Is  in  a  season.  The  Shorthorn 
milk  is  of  good  quality,  rather  above 
the  average.     The   fat  globules  are  of 

um  and  fairly  uniform  size  so  that 

m    separates    easily,      it    is    rather 

•  lor.      In    1824    a    cow    near 

Philadelphia  made  over  twenty  pounds 

"i    butter    in    a    week   without    special 

feeding.     Herds  of     forty     cows     have 

ujed   209  pounds  of  butter  a  year, 

The  herd  of  ten  cows  mentioned  aver- 

ds,  and  single  cows  have 

records    of    400    pounds    and    over,    one

Dear  Sirs: —I  have  used  a  bottle  of  "Save-tbe- 
Horse,1' and  I  consider  it  the  best  thing  that  as 
yet  I  have  been  able  to  obtain  for  what  it  was 
Intended,  it  having  entirely  cored  a  very  valuable 
mare  which  has  been  lame  since  last  September 
with  a  sprained  ankle.  We  had  her  blistered 
twice  and  laid  up  for  two  months,  but  it  did  no 
good.  I  was  just  aboutready  to  breed  her  when  I 
gave  it  a  tr'al;  she  is  now  entirely  sound. 
Yours  respectfully. 

ALBERT  E.  BAKER. 


WERE  THESE  TWO  CASES  WORTH  THE 
COST  OF  TREATMENT? 

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

D.  C  BENNETT,  Builder,

Nrack.N.  Y. 
In  August  I  had  a  mare  with  an  ankle  cocked 
from  a  bad  wrench  in  a  race.  It  was  so  bad  I  had 
concluded  to  shoot  her,  but  was  persuaded  to 
breed  her  and  turn  her  out.  I  bred  her,  but  in- 
stead of  turning  her  out  used  your  "Save-the- 
Horse."  In  three  weeks  I  was  more  than  sur- 
prised to  see  the  swelling  disappear,  and  the 
remedy  produced  a  complete  cure  She  is  as 
good  as  ever.  I  have  raced  her  since  and  drive 
her  any  distance  without  any  sign  of  lameness. 
I  cannot  say  too  much  for  vour  remedy.

ZOMBRO  RETURNS  TO  LOS  ANGELES. 

On  Wednesday  of  this  week  Geo.  T.  Beckers  left 
Portland,  Oregon,  for  his  home  in  Los  Angeles  with  a 
carload  of  sixteen  horses,  headed  by  his  great  stal- 
lion Zombro  2:11,  winner  of  the  championship  prize 
at  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Fair  for  the  best  standard 
trotting  stallion  exhibited.  In  the  car  were  three 
brood  mares  belonging  to  L.  H.  Todhunter  of  Sacra- 
mento, that  were  shipped  to  Oregon  to  be  bred  to 
Zombro.  Zombowyette  2: IS  by  Zombro  was  also  in 
the  consignment,  as  was  the  brood  mare  Beulah  and 
her  three-year-old  Zombro  colt  The  Zoo.  Beulah  was 
bred  again  to  Zombro  this  year  and  will  be  bred  back 
after  she  foals  in  the  spring.  The  Zoo  trotted  a  trial 
in  2:21  this  year.  This  mare  and  colt  belong  to  J. 
Reezes  of  Cornelius,  Oregon.  The  Zoo  will  be  trained 
by  M  J.  Stetson,  who  trained  him  about  sixty  days 
this  summer  and  improved  him  ten  seconds  in  that 
short  time.  Mr.  Stetson  will  winter  in  Los  Angeles. 
He  also  has  four  other  Zombros.  one  a  very  hand- 
some and  fast  three-year-old  filly  which  he  purchased 
from  Dr.  A.  J.  Hodges  of  Albany,  Oregon,  this  sum- 
mer. Mary  Scott  2:24  was  also  in  the  car.  She  is 
being  shipped  by  her  owner,  Mrs.  Nelly  Couvert  of 
Vancouver,  Wash.,  to  be  bred  to  Zombvo.  In  the 
Beckers  car  will  also  be  three  promising  colts  con- 
signed to  Will  Durfee,  who  will  train  them.  One  is 
by  Zombro  and  trotted  a  trial  mile  in  his  two-year- 
old  form  in  2:29  These  colts  belong  to  Mr.  Sam 
Elmore  of  Astoria,  Oregon.  E.  House  of  Portland 
ships  a  Zombro  three-year-old  to  be  trained  at  Los 
Angeles  that  is  a  great  prospect.  Mr.  Beckers  bought 
while  in  Portland  a  very  speedy  pacer  for  his  friend 
Chas.  Wilson  of  Los  Angeles.  This  horse  will  be 
used  on  the  road  and  in  matinees.  He  is  a  fine  large 
fellow  with  lots  of  speed  and  will  probably  win  one 
of  those  Los  Angeles  sliver  cups  the  first  time  he 
starts.  Mr.  Wilson  has  been  in  Portland  looking  after 
the  interests  of  his  section  in  the  California  Building 
at  the  big  fair. 

Mr.  Beckers  received  from  the  California  Commis- 
sioners, Messrs.  Wiggins  and  Filcher,  Jast  Monday, 
a  handsome  silver  cup  for  showing  the  best  California 
bred  stallion  at  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition 
Zombro,  whose  name  is  on  this  cup,  has  won  more 
first  prizes,  silver  cups  and  gold  medals  than  any 
other  standard  bred  stallion  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 


ONE  OF  THE  BEST  three-year-old  trotters  in  the 
st  this  year  is  a  filly  that  was  not  eligible  to  any  of 
;e  big  stakes.  Her  owner  was  offered  a  good  price 
r  her — $3000 — but  the  party  making  the  offer  stated 
at  he  would  gladly  have  made  the  offer  three  times 
■at  amount  had  the  filly  been  well  staked  in  the  big 
,ree-year-old  trotting  events  of  the  year.  Breeders 
,ould  not  fail  to  enter  their  foals  in  stakes  and 
•ep  them  paid  up  on  if  they  expect  to  get  the  highest 
ices  for  them. 


NEXT  MONDAY  is  the  date  set  for  closing  of  en- 
es  to  the  many  rich  stakes  of  the  New  California 
ckey  Club  for  its  winter  meeting  to  be  held  on  its 
ree  magnificent  tracks  at  Oakland,  Ingleside  and 
nforan.  The  racing  season  will  open  November 
:h  and  the  prospects  are  for  the  greatest  meeting 
the  history  of  California  racing.  Read  the  list  of 
itkes  offered  and  mail  your  entries  to  Secretary 
rcy  W.  Treat,  23  Kearny  street,  San  Francisco,

CHICAGO   HORSE   MARKET. 


Receipts  were  again  of  heavy  volume,  arrivals  ag- 
gregating 2S50  against  2417  the  previous  week  and 
1850  the  same  week  a  year  ago.  There  has  been  no 
break  in  the  continuous  gains  in  the  receipts  over  the 
run  of  1904.  Fall  trade  has  been  the  broadest  in  sev- 
eral seasons,  with  no  indications  of  any  diminution  in 
outside  orders.  Demand  from  all  quarters  is  broader 
than  the  trade  had  anticipated,  .with  prices  for  good 
offerings  showing  only  narrow  fluctuations 

Receipts  for  September  reached  a  total  of  10,381 
against  7277  arrivals  for  the  corresponding  month  last 
season,  showing  a  gain  for  the  month  as  compared 
with  September,  1904,  of  3104  horses.  The  gain  shows 
an  increase  of  upward  of  forty  per  cent  over  the  cor- 
responding month  a  year  ago. 

The  same  broad  gain  is  noticeable  in  the  receipts  for 
nine  months,  which  totaled  102,886  against  87,186  for 
the  first  nine  months  of  1904.  The  increase  for  nine 
months  of  the  current  year  as  compared  with  last 
season  represents  15,700  horses,  a  gain  vhat  well  rep- 
resents the  broader  demand  for  horses  incident  to 
growth  of  population  and  unusual  activity  of  all  com- 
mercial industries.  The  growth  of  population  is  phe- 
nomenal from  foreign  sources,  100,000  immigrants 
landing  in  this  country  in  September  to  increase  the 
demand  for  horses.  Local  consumption  displays  won- 
derful expansion  over  the  previous  year  totals,  14,660 
since  January  last  as  contrasted  with  6446  for  the 
same  period  last  year,  the  gain  being  equal  to  120  per 
cent.  From  all  sources  the  general  demand  for  busi- 
ness offerings  is  of  greater  proportions  than  twelve 
months  ago. 

But  few  harness  offerings  were  reported  of  select 
quality,  the  bulk  of  the  sales  being  around  $150  to 
$225  with  high  actors  in  demand  at  $250  to  $500  and 
upward  according  to  size  and  quality.  Export  move- 
ment of  carriage  horses  is  narrow  as  domestic  prices 
are  too  high  for  the  foreign  trade. — Horseman. 

BOARD    OF    REVIEW    MEETING. 


Secretary  W.  H.  Gocher  sends  notice  that  a  regular 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Review  of  the  National  Trot- 
ting Association  will  be  held  at  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel, 
New  York,  at  11  o'clock  a.  m.,  on  Tuesday.  December 
5th.  1905.  in  accordance  with  the  By-Laws. 

The  President  authorizes  the  announcement,  ac- 
cording to  precedent,  that  either  an  adjourned  or  a 
special  meeting  of  the  Board  will  be  held  in  New 
York,  N.  Y ,  in  the  early  spring  of  1906.  to  accommo- 
date those  whose  conveniences  or  necessities  will  be 
served  thereby. 

All  communications  intended  for  the  consideration 
of  the  Board  at  the  December  meeting  must  be  for- 
warded to  the  Secretary  not  later  than  November  21, 
and  all  parties  who  desire  that  their  cases  should  be 
acted  on  at  the  spring  meeting  should  immediately 
notify  the  secretary  to  that  effect. 

The  Board  of  Review  is  empowered  to  act  in  place 
of  the  full  Board  with  the  same  authority  and  juris- 
diction, and  at  the  above  meeting  will  consider  busi- 
ness arising  in  each  and  all  of  the  districts.

The  American  Sportsman  of  Cleveland  says:  Sev- 
eral members  of  the  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club  are  on 
the  lookout  for  matinee  material  for  next  year.  It  now 
looks,  as  if  nearly  all  the  members  of  the  club  will 
have   new   horses   for  next   season's   matinee 


STARTING    HORSES. 

No  man  will  ever  be  able  to  start  horses  absolutely 
perfect,  and  mistakes  will  be  made  by  the  starting 
judge  as  long  as  harness  racing  shall  endure  The 
men  who  drive  horses  will  also  make  mistakes,  some 
of  them  innocently,  others  intentionally,  and  at  times 
both  the  starter  and  drivers  err,  but  with  a  little  effort  . 
many  mistakes  could  be  avoided.  As  a  whole  the 
class  of  men  who  officiate  as  starting  judge,  are  men 
of  character,  who  make  an  honest  effort  to  discharge 
the  duties  of  their  position  with  good  judgment  and 
fairness.  Drivers  are  also  men  of  intelligence  and 
usually  they  do  everything  possible  to  assist  the  start- 
er in  getting  the  horses  away. 

The  greatest  trouble,  however,  with  starting  horses 
comes  from  th*e  fact  that  there  are  scores  of  well 
meaning  men  without  any  particular  ability  along  the 
line  of  starting  horses,  who  with  a  desire  to  stand  in 
the  lime  light,  persist  in  acting  in  a  position  for  which 
ihey  have  no  capability. 

By  their  incapacity  they  bring  trotting  racing  into 
disrepute,  tempt  drivers  to  do  wrong  things,  and  dis- 
gust and  tire  the  public  who  pay  admission  to  see  the 
races  and  are  altogether  a  great  detriment  to  the 
whole    racing   business. 

It  requires  a  cool  head,  a  clear  eye  and  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  men  and  horses  to  make  a  good  and 
successful  starting  judge,  and  any  man  who  does  not 
possess  these  qualities  should  never  attempt  to  act 
in  that  capacity.  These  observations  should  not  be 
taken  as  a  stricture  upon  any  particular  gentleman 
who  has  officiated  as  starting  judge  during  the  season 
of  1905,  but  if  any  blundering,  but  well  meaning 
starting  judge  can  be  made  to  see  the  error  "f  h's 
ways,  the  time  spent  in  writing  this  article  will  not 
have  been  spent  in  vain. — Western  Horseman.

LA   SIESTA    HOLSTEINS    FOR    FRESNO. 

Mr.  Frank  H  Burke  of  this  city,  owner  of  the  La 
Siesta  Ranch  at  San  Jose,  has  sold  to  James  Suther- 
land, for  shipment  to  Fresno,  Cal.,  ten  head  of  full 
blooded  registered  Holsteins,  bred  on  the  ranch. 
There  are  two  young  bulls,  one  by  Mable  Haskins  III 
Emperior,  out  of  Lil  De  Kol  II,  and  another  out  of 
Frolic  of  La  Siesta,  by  Gerben  of  La  Siesta.  The  bal- 
ance are  heifers  out  of  Dairy  Queen,  Hazel  Dell,  Jose- 
phine Mechthilde,  ^lover  of  La  Siesta,  Donna  Ella,

RACE  jVlEETING    AT    UKIAH. 

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

VETERINARY    DEPARTMENT. 

B.  J.,  Visalia. — Give  remedy  for  poll  evil  and  how 
to  treat  it. 

A  nswer  — The  fistula  should  be  laid  open  with  a 
knife,  the  parts  washed  out  with  an  antiseptic,  such 
as  peroxide  of  hydrogen,  one  part  in  three  of  water, 
and  the  necrosed  or  diseased  parts  of  bone  and  liga- 
ment cut  or  scraped  away.  Daily  washing  with  the 
above  solution  to  remove  pus  from  the  lower  parts 
of  the  cavity.  It  would  be  well  to  have  a  veterinary 
surgeon  operate,  as  the  location  is  so  near  the  spinal 
cord  that  it  may  be  dangerous  for  one  who  is  not 
an  expert  to  operate.

Hazel  Patch  2.02%  by  Hard  Patch,  dam  Nell  by 
Andy,  was  sold  last  week  by  his  owner,  J.  W.  Flack 
of  Milwaukee,  to  Judson  Sherman  of  Chicago.  The 
price  is  said  to  be  over  $5000.  Hazel  Patch  is  one  of 
the  best  pacing  campaigners  out  this  year.  He  took 
his  record  of  2:02%  in  the  first  heat  of  the  2:D4  class 
pace  at  Lexington.  Many  horsemen  are  of  t lie  opin- 
ion that  Hazel  might  have  won  the  2:04  pace  had  he 
been  more  carefully  handled.  He  will  be  placed  in  the 
stud  and  used  for  matinee  racing. 

W.  J.  Kenney,  531  Valencia  street,  received  four 
McMurray  carts  this  week  direct  from  the  factory. 
Two  are  finished  in  white  enamel— the  prettiest  carts 
seen  in  this  city  for  some  time.

yearlings,  weanlings,  and  mares  in  foal.  He  says  he 
is  a  little  too  old  to  drive  three-year-olds  and  conse- 
quently must  sell.  We  advise  any  man  who  wants  a 
good  young  prospect  to  make  a  date  with  Hans 
Frellson,  whose  stables  are  on  24th  avenue  near  the 
Casino,  and  take  a  ride  behind  this  three-year-old. 
He  is  worth  buying  and  developing  for  a  race  horse. 


WINNERS   AT   PORTLAND. 


A  novel  scheme  has  been  devised  by  the  horsemen 
and  business  men  of  Hollister  to  purchase  from  the 
bank  which  owns  the  property,  the  Hollister  fair 
grounds  and  race  track.  The  proposition  is  to  have 
one  hundred  residents  of  San  Benito  county  agree  to 
buy  the  properly  at  a  price  that  is  already  agreed 
upon,  and  pay  one  dollar  per  week  on  each  share 
subscribed  until  the  property  is  paid  for.  It  will  take 
a  little  over  a  year  to  pay  for  the  property  at  this 
rate.  Up  to  Tuesday  of  this  week  So  of  the  100  sub- 
scribers had  been  obtained  and  the  full  quota  will 
have  signed  up  before  the  end  of  next  week.  There 
are  fifty-four  acres  in  the  track,  well  improved  with 
a  grandstand  and  stalls,  and  an  excellent  mile  track. 
The  land  is  worth  every  dollar  of  the  price  asked  for 
it,  without  taking  into  consideration  the  improve- 
ments. 

Don't  ever  imagine  that  Prompter  blood  is  not  of 
the  race  horse  kind.  It  has  been  in  front  very  often 
in  hard  fought  races  where  the  time  is  fast.  One  of 
the  fastest  pacers  out  this  year  is  Gratt  2.05%,  a  son 
of  Grattan  2:13  out  of  Molly  Hicks  by  Prompter,  sec- 
ond dam  Lady  Bishop  by  Iowa  Chief.  Gratt  has  been 
a  good  winner  this  year  and  it  is  said  is  in  good 
shape  to  pace  to  a  faster  mark  next  season. 

John  Caldwell  2:09  trotted  a  splendid  race  in  the 
Transylvania.  While  he  won  but  fourth  money  he 
was  a  bang-up  third  to  Ethel's  Pride  and  Turley  in 
the  fastest  heat  of  the  race,  which  was  trotted  in 
2:06%.  In  this  heat  Ethel's  Pride,  the  winner  was  but 
a  neck  in  front  of  Turley  and  John  Caldwell's  nose 
was  at  *Turley*s  hips.  It  was  a  great  finish  and 
brought  the  immense  crowd  in  the  grand  stand  to  its 
feet.  John  Caldwell  was  just  getting  good  as  the 
circuit    ended.

SONOMA    COUNTY    DRIVING    CLUB. 


SOME   BROOD   MARES  are  born  great   and   others 

achieve    greatness,     while    very    few     have    greatness 

thrust    upon    them,    because    in    the    horse    business 

thrusting   greatness    is    a    pretty    hard    as    well    as    a 

very  expensive  job.  Up  at  the  pretty  little  town  of 
Rosa  on  Thursday  of  last  week,  two  trotting 
own    sisters,    took   standard   records  and   made 

a  great  brood  mare  of  their  dam  that  at  the  time  was 

complacently   munching   grass   in    the   pasture   of.  her 

owner,   Mr.   S    B.   Wright,  two  or  three  miles  distant, 

all   unconscious  of  the  fact  that  she  had  achieved  a 

place  in  the  Great  Table  by  the  performances  of  her 

two    handsome   daughters      The   mare   referred   to    is 

the  trotting  mare  Maud  Fowler,  whose  record  of 
was   made   at   Petaluma    twelve   years   ago,   in 

the  fifth   heat  of  a  hard  fought  race  wherein  she  beat 

Patty  P.  and  Logan.     Maud  Fowler  was  bred  by  the 

late    Isaac    de    Turk    of    Santa    Rosa.      Her    sire    was 

Anteeo  2:lr^4,  one  of  Electioneer"  s  best  sons,  and  her 

dam   that  great  brood  mare  Eveline  by  Nutwood   600, 

greatest   of  brood  mare  sires.     So  Maud  Fowler  was 

born  great,  as  it  were,  and  is  now  achieving  greatness 

in  the  stud.    At  the  Breeders'  meeting  at  Santa  Rosa 

in  August  this  year  Maud  Fowler's  five-year-old  son 

Dumont  S.  36,675,  owned  by  Thos.  Charlton  of  Ukiah, 

trotted  to  a  record  of  2:20,  and  became  the  first  stand- 
ard performer  for  his  dam.  On  Thursday  of  last  week 
at  the  meeting  of  the  Sonoma  County  Driving  Club, 

the  two  mares.  Sonoma  Queen  and  Sonoma  Maid,  own 
sisters    to    Dumont    S.,    took    trotting    records    of    2:26 
and    2:29%    respectively,    making    Maud    Fowler    the 
dam  of  three  standard  trotters,  all  by  the  same  horse 
— Lynwood  W.  2:20,  son  of  Guy  Wilkes.  Another  mem- 
ber of  this  notable  family  of  full  brothers  and  sisters 
is  the  famous  green  mare  Sonoma  Girl,  owned  by  Mr. 
J    D.    Springer,   formerly   of  Pleasant  on.   but   now   of 
Los  Angeles.    As  all  our  readers  know  Sonoma  Girl  is 
a  phenomenal  trotter  and  but  for  a  lameness  which 
afflicted  her  last  winter  and  from  which  she  has  never 
fully   recovered,   would   doubtless   now   have  a   record 
below   2:10  as  she  showed  herself  capable  of  a  mile 
at  that  speed  ,and  could  trot  a  quarter  in  30  seconds 
as  easily  as  any   trotter  ever  worked   at  Pleasanton.

J     OTHER    PEOPLE'S    0PIN10N.S     II 

.   Volunteer  in  Horse  Review:     It  was  my  good  for- 

vjne  to  witness  Dan's  two  marvelous  miles  at  Lex- 

jgton  last  week — the  one  in   1:56  on  Thursday,  and 

tie  one  in  1:55%  on  Saturday.     The  first  was  a  glori- 

flis  failure.     The  second  was  a  glorious  success. 

Stop  and  think  what  it  is  to  ask  a  horse  to  beat 

.".6.     It   is    piling    Ossa   on   Pelion    and    asking   that 

Bey  both   be   l.fted  at  once — a  task  to  overpower  a 

Jan.     To  presume  success  in  such  a  stupendous  un- 

irtaking   demands   not   only  a  Dan   Patch,   to   begin 

Ith,   it  also   demands  that   every  attendant   circum- 

*ince    be    the    most    absolutely    favorable.      On    last 

■"vursday  everything  was  so,  but  one — and  that  little 

'^ift   within   the   lute"   cost  Dan   the   record   the   and 

lere. 

■A  more  perfect  day  could  not  be  conceived.  The 
ttober  air  was  like  wine  flooded  with  sunshine. 
;|iere  was  so  little  wind  that  "Old  Glory"  hung  limp 
ion  the  flagstaff  in  the  infield,  with  scarce  a  quiver 
■i  its  folds.  The  track  wras  as  fast  as  tracks  ever 
le.  The  horse  was  ready  and  equal  to  what  was 
fcuired  of  him — and  missed  it  merely  because  of  a 
fcstake;  a  mistake  for  which  no  one  was  really  re- 
¥:)  risible. 

fit  was  arranged  that  there  should  be  three  pace- 
■fcikers.  Charley  Dean  was  to  drive  the  important 
■we  in  front;  "Doc"  Tanner  the  one  at  the  side;  and 
*n  Nash  a  third,  which  was  to  fall  in  just  behind 
t'ough  the  home  stretch.  Tanner  was  to  rate  the 
jce.  While  he  has  had  much  experience  in  doing 
Is,  he  had  never  attempted  it  over  the  Lexington 
t?  ck  before,  and  the  angles  at  which  the  quarter  and 
fclf-rmle  poles  are  set  there  deceived  him.  He  judged 
1  ;in  as  he  had  been  in  the  habit  of  doing  when  timing 
t m  the  stand,  and  this  proved  to  be  an  error.  In 
ts  manner  he  got  a  quarter  in  2S%  second  and  the 
llf  in  57%,  which  was  almost  exactly  where  he 
1  i  expected  to  go;  but  really  they  were  made  in 
«4  and  5S%  seconds,  respectively.     Dan  came  home 

I  57%  seconds  from  the  half,  but  even  that  could 
■w:  enable  him  to  more  than  tie  the  mark.     Another 

tidicap  was  due  to  the  fact  that  the  front  runner 
Sked  on  Dean  in  the  first  eighth,  and  Dan  almost 
j;ed  over  him. 

m\.  canvas  strip  was  fastened  beneath  the  seat  of 
t>  cart  in  front  This  was  hung  too  low,  and  instead 
c  fulfilling  its  office  of  dirt-screen  properly,  it  raised 
ji?loud  of  dust  that  was  blinding.     When  the  three 

-icses  struck  the  lower  turn,  all  that  was  visible  was 
p  momentary    glint    of   Hersey's    white    satin    jacket. 

wrsey  himself  said  afterward  that  at  one  time  he 
lild  hardly  see  the  horse  that  he  was  driving.  In 
civersation  with  Tanner  he  expressed  wonder  to  him 
fl.v  Dan  Patch  could  race  through  the  dust  without 
oking  up.  "There  is  no  other  horse  in  the  world 
B.t  could  or  would,"  he  said.  Tanner  advised  that 
;<  iui  six  inches  be  cut  off  from  the  bottom  of  the 
civas   before   the   second   attempt.     This   was   done. 

II  was  a  visible  improvement. 

I  n  his  mile  in  1:56%  at  Memphis  two  years  ago, 
nl  in  his  mile  in  1:56  there  last  year,  Dan's  front 
I-  emaker  was  driven  by  Scott  Hudson,  who  is  con- 
■2red  without  an  equal  in  this  work.  No  one 
eiected  him  to  show  up  in  Lexington,  but  he  drifted 
■the  back  end  of  the  week  and  was  secured  to  per- 
f  m  his  old  office  for  the  Saturday  mile,  doing  it  with 
B  accustomed  success.  I  also  saw  the  1:56%  mile 
a  Memphis  in  1903.  On  that  occasion  there  were 
8  rce  more  than  two  feet  between  Dan  Patch's  head 
a  1  Hudson's  back  at  any  spot  of  the  mile.  Last 
S-.urday,  while  Dan  went  away  and  finished  in  this 
u  nner,  there  were  times,  through  the  middle  half, 
ven  he  was  nearly  an  open  length  back.  This  was 
e  ecially  true  of  the  second  quarter,  up  the  back 
s  etch,  which  was  the  fastest  of  the  mile — 2S  seconds 
fl. 

:  t  "goes  without  saying"  that  for  a  horse  to  pace 
111: 55%  he  must  be  in  faultless  physical  condition 
ft  I  perfectly  trained.  I  first  saw  Dan  this  season 
a  the  Chicago  half-mile  track,  which  he  paced  in 
2iy2  on  September  30.  I  then  wrote  that  never  in 
h  life  had  he  looked  so  well,  and  that  after  the  mile 
h  scarce  took  a  long  breath.  I  heard  it  remarked 
r  eatedly  at  Lexington,  by  the  most  critical  horse- 
Tin,  "Dan  Patch  looks  better  to  me  than  ever  be- 
f- ±" — and  this  before  he  had  started.  After  his 
1  5%  mile  I  was  one  of  the  crowd  that  swarmed 
*>  upon  the  stretch  when  Hersey  drove  back  to 
v  gh  out.  Hundreds  of  men  and  boys  mobbed  the 
li  se  in  their  efforts  to  touch  him,  or  even  his  blan- 
k  or  sulky.  I  worked  my  way  to  Dan's  side  with 
d  culty  and  also  laid  my  hand  upon  him,  but  it  was 
fl  a  different  purpose.  I  wished  to  discover  whether 
I  tremendous  effort  had  exhausted  him.  I  found 
h  i  with  his  nostrils  no  more  distended  than  after 
a:lO  workout  mile;  there  was  no  convulsive  heaving 

0  his  flanks,  he  lifted  his  head  in  the  air,  and  his 
fi    was  bright  as  a  star. 

^hen  it  is  known  and  considered  that  Dan  made 
a  eason  to  fifty  mares  last  spring  in  Minnesota,  his 
v  ility  and  constitutional  vigor  appears  perhaps  even 
n  -e  marvelous  than  his  speed.  And  the  skill  with 
W  ch  he  has  been  prepared  speaks  eloquently  of  the 
ajiit/  of  Harry  Hersey  as  a  trainer.  This  reminds 
rJ  of  a  remark  I  heard  passed  by  a  veteran 

Do  you  remember,"  said  he,  "how  like  a  demon 
i\  Henry   drove   Dan   at    Memphis   when   he    went    in 

1  5%  year  before  last?  He  made  one  of  those  cy- 
le  finishes  that  he  used  to  when  he  was  dragging 

f  a  heat  with  old  Phoebe  Wilkes  by  an  eyelash. 
v  did  you  notice  Hersey?  He  didn't  make  any  fuss 
all.  You  could  see  he  was  driving  Dan;  but  he 
almost  as  still  as  Geer  drives."  I  thought  that  a 
y  nice  compliment. 


Palmer  Clark:  Sitting  in  the  grand  stand  at  Lex- 
ington during  the  meeting  now  in  progress  I  counted 
horesmen  from  no  less  than  thirty-one  states  and 
Canada,  and  the  question  came  to  me.  Why  is  it  that 
the  Kentucky  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association 
succeeds  year  after  year  in  drawing  such  great  crowds 
from  all  over  the  country  to  witness  its  races?  And 
the  answer  came  to  me  simultaneously  as  the  query 
arose  in  my  mind. 

The  stranger  who  pays  the  first  visit  to  this  great 
carnival  of  harness  horse  racing  is  struck  first  of  all 
with  the  -tasty  appearance  of  the  approaches  to  the 
grounds,  the  broad  macadamized  roadways,  with 
spreading  lawns,  bedecked  _  with  flowers  and  shade 
trees;  the  well  arranged  barns  and  appointments,  in- 
cluding the  bright  whitewashed  fences,  all  with  that 
symmetry  and  adaptability  that  pleases  the  eye  and 
rests  the  mind.  The  well  arranged  transportation 
system  lands  you  right  at  the  gate  and  you  enter 
the  grounds  to  note  first  of  all  that  Secretary  Horace 
Wilson's  elaborate  system  of  organization  is  working 
like  clockwork  from  the  uniformed  harrow  driver  on 
the  track  to  the  affable  president  of  the  association, 
who  is  busy  receiving  and  entertaining  the  distin- 
guished guests,  of  which  there  are  many. 

There  are  many  well  managed  tracks,  but  the  man- 
ager of  any*  racing  association  in  the  country  would 
certainly  learn  something  to  his  advantage  in  study- 
ing Secretary  Wilson's  careful  attention  to  even  the 
smallest  details.  As  astute  a  manager  as  Andy  Welch 
-remarked.  "Every  bit  of  bunting,  to  the  magnificent 
flag  that  floated  from  the  pole  in  the  center  field,  was 
correctly  hung  and  scrupulously  clean." 

Six  teams  in  constant  use  kept  the  track  in  pei-fect 
order,  and  a  half  mile  track  in  the  center  field  ap- 
proached by  a  subway  under  the  mile  track  being 
used  for  jogging,  leaves  the  main  track  clear  for  the 
use  of  racers  only. 


Breeders'  Gazette.  It  rarely  happens  in  horse  show 
affairs  that  any  one  man  is  of  sufficient  importance 
to  make  his  presence  an  absolute  necessity  to  the 
giving  of  a  horse  show,  but  it  seems  that  such  is 
the  case  with  E.  H  Harriman  with  the  Goshen  show. 
Several  years  ago  Mr.  Harriman  began  to  take  an 
interest  in  horse  affairs  at  Goshen  and  surrounding 
country  and  through  his  enterprise  the  old  half-mile 
track  at  Goshen  was  greatly  improved.  New  build- 
ings were  constructed  and  the  famous  racing  plant 
of  fifty  years  ago  was  remantled  with  a  more  artistic 
finish'  than  it  had  ever  before  known.  Race  meetings 
were  held  and  it  was  understood  that  if  there  was 
not  sufficient  receipts  to  pay  the  purses  and  expenses 
that  the  check  of  Mr.  Harriman  was  drawn  to  cover 
the  deficiency.  It  was  Mr.  Harriman  also  who  inau- 
gurated the  horse  shows  at  Goshen,  and  here  again 
the  same  generous  policy  of  meeting  deficiencies  with 
his  individual  check  was  a  part  of  the  programme 
and  these  shows  came  to  be  recognized  as  among  the 
best  of  the  smaller  Eastern  exhibitions.  The  Harri- 
man family  is  made  up  of  horse  show  enthusiasts 
and  the  entries  from  Mr.  Harriman's  Arden  Farms  far 
outnumbered  those  of  any  other  exhibitor.  Some  two 
months  ago  Mr.  Harriman  and  his  family  sailed  for 
the  Orient  and  are  now  in  Japan.  The  officials  of  the 
Goshen  show  do  not  seem  to  have  the  courage  to 
give  an  exhibition  without  the  presence  of  Mr  Har- 
riman and  his  check  book,  and  for  the  first  time  since 
these  shows  were  established  the  one  this  year  has 
been  abandoned  and  it  is  probable  also  that  the  ab- 
sence of  the  Harriman-faTTrrly  has  caused  the  Tuxedo 
association  to  forego  the  pleasure  of  an  entertainment 
of  this  character  the  present  season. 


PONY  RACING  AT  SAN  MATEO. 

The  first  day's  meeting  of  the  fall  programme  of 
the  California  Polo  and  Pony  Racing  Association  at 
Charlie  Clarke's  track  at  San  Mateo  last  Saturday 
brought   out  some  keen  racing. 

The  races  this  fall  took  on  more  of  a  social  function 
than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  Association. 
Most  of  the  summer  residents  of  Burlingame  came 
over  for  the  sport.  The  pavilion  presented  a  most 
pleasing  picture  of  color,  the  girls  and  matrons  hav- 
ing attended  in  costumes  that  reminded  one  more  of 
a  garden   party. 

Those  in  the  pavilion  were  keen  on  the  sport  and 
the  interest  displayed  in  the  different  events  as  they 
came  up  did  a  great  deal  toward  keying  the  gentle- 
men riders  to  extra  efforts. 

Charlie  Dunphy  carried  off  the  honors  of  the  day, 
being  in  the  money  more  than  any  of  the  others. 

Frank  Skinner,  who  is  considered  the  premier  at 
the  game,  drew  a  lot  of  poor  mounts  and  did  not 
have  a  chance  to  do  himself  justice. 

Slow  time  was  made  in  all  the  events  except  the 
last,  which  was  a  full  round  of  the  three-quarter 
track. 

Bas  Blancs  cut  out  the  pace  and  it  looked  as  if  the 
bay  mare  would  take  the  event  as  on  the  last  turn 
she  was  about  five  lengths  ahead  of  Ethel  G.  ana 
about  ten  lengths  ahead  of  Carlolly. 

As  they  straightened  out  for  home  Bas  Blancs  blew 
up,  stopping  badly,  while  Ethel  G.  and  Carlolly  came 
on  strong.  Dunphy  on  Ethel  G.  saw  that  Bas  Blancs 
was  quitting  and  commenced  to  urge  his  mount. 

After  heading  Bas  Blancs  he  let  up  on  Ethel  G. 
and  was  holding  the  daughter  of  Bliss  Rucker  nicely 
when  he  chanced  to  look  back  on  the  other  side  and 
found  Skinner  on  Carlolly  coming  up  like  a  whirl- 
wind. Ho  had  to  pick  his  mount  up  and  let  ■  her 
down  again  for  the  final  rush.  It  was  a  close  call, 
for  he  had  to  break  the  Association  record  for  the 
distance  of  1:214-5  by  7-10  of  a  second  to  keep  Ethel 
G.  in  front  of  Carlolly  at  the  wire.  Another  1-16  and 
it  would  have  been  brackets  for  Carlolly. 

The  main  interest  of  the  day  was  the  fourth  race  at 
a   half  mile.     It   was    programmed    for   a    three    horse 


race,- but.  Ethel  G.  was  scratched  and  it  left  only 
Ulctma  and  Midlove  to  fight  it  out. 
,  Midlove's  work  last  spring  brought  many  supporters 
to  the  copper  colored  jacket,  but  the  youth  of  Ulctma 
was  not  overlooked  and  fully  as  many  got  down  on 
the  Salvador-Lighting  mare.  It  was  noised  around 
just  before  they  left  the  paddock  that  Mlidlove  had 
only  been  lightly  "preped"  and  there  was  a  rush  to 
cover.  This  swung  the  results  around  in  the  betting 
so  that  $5  only  brought  home  $2.35. 

Up  to  the  fourth  race  Skinner  had  only  secured  a 
second,  while  Dunphy  had  captured  two  firsts  and  a 
second.  Skinner  felt  that  his  reputation  was  at  stake 
and  it  was  easily  seen  when  he  went  to  the  post  that 
he  meant  to  win.  Dunphy,  flushed  by  victory,  was 
equally  determined  to  carry  off  the  honors. 

As  Ulctma  and  Midlove  left  the  paddock  they  com- 
menced to  dance  to  the  post.  In  fact  at  times  fears 
were  entertained  that  one  or  the  other  might  hurt 
itself  backing  up  the  bank. 

On  the  second  break  the  flag  was  dropped.  Dunphy 
was  right  on  edge  and  got  away  with  half  a  length 
the  best  of  it.  Skinner  had  his  mount  moving,  how- 
ever, and  kept  up  to  Midlove's  saddle. 

Around  the  lower  turn  they  came  in  the  same  posi- 
tion and  as  they  passed  the  quarter  it  was  seen  that 
they  had  covered  the  distance  in  24  4-5  seconds,  fast 
time  for  the  weights.  Something  had  to  give  way  at 
this  pace.  As  they  straightened  out  Skinner  was  seen 
to  let  Ulctma  down  for  a  final  effort.  The  Salvador- 
Lightning  lady  answered  the  call  and  shoved  her  nose 
to    the   front. 

Dunphy  had  been  riding  carefully  and  when  Ulctma 
commenced  to  take  control  of  the  situation  he  made 
a  last  call  on  the  daughter  of  Midlothian  for  a  final 
struggle.  For  a  second  she  answered. the  spurs  and 
was  neck  and  neck  with  Ulctma,  but  it  was  only  for 
a  second  as  Ulctma  had  the  speed  and  held  steady 
while  Midlove  slackened.  Both  mounts  were  satisfied 
when  they  passed  the  wire  and  it  did  not  take  much 
of  an  effort  to  bring  them  back  to  the  stand. 

The  talent  was  dumped  in  the  first  race.  Mr.  Spreck- 
els'  gray  pony  Boastful  and  Charlie  Clark's  Chanate 
were  the  favorites.  It  was  a  six-horse  race  and  of  the 
lot  J.  A.  Lynch's  Leah,  on  looks,  was  a  rank  outsider. 
Few,  however,  knew  that  the  Elkins-Lizzie  mare  had 
been  spending  the  summer  racing  in  the  "bushes" 
and  in  the  final  pinch  she  outgamed  W.  E.  Pedley's 
Carlotta. 

Dunphy  on  the  winner  got  the  best  of  the  break, 
taking  the  rail.  Boastful  acted  green  getting  away  as 
slow  as  an  ice  wagon.  Walter  on  McKittrick's  War- 
wick spoiled  the  chances  of  his  mount  by  giving  a 
splendid  exhibition  of  how  you  should  not  break  at 
the  drop  of  the  flag. 

J.  O.  Tobin  on  Carlotta  put  up  a  smashing  finish. 
He  beat  Mackay  out  for  the  place  by  the  cleverest 
kind  of  horsemanship. 

The  second  race  of  three-eighths  of  a  mile  was  a 
cracking  battle  between  Bas  Blancs  and  Althomer.  At 
the  drop  of  the  flag  Skinner  took  Althomer  out  in 
front  along  the  rail.  Bas  Blancs  was  second  and 
Ethel  G.  third.  Coming  down  the  stretch  Dunphy 
placed  Bas  Blancs  nicely  in  front  by  half  a  length  and 
won   the  event  by  that  distance  under  wraps. 

The  third  race  was  another  victory  for  J.  A.  Lynch's 
Leah  in  easy  fashion.  Charlie  Clark's  Alvernie  was 
second  and  Boastful  last,  a  poor  third.

The  average  of  the  sale  of  trotting  bred  horses 
which  took  place  during  the  Lexington  meeting  was 
$257.50.  As  the  sale  continued  all  week,  and  nearly 
$100,000  was  the  total  amount  of  the  sale,  the  averagu 
is  a  most  excellent  one,  and  proves  the  market  for 
harness  horses  is  in  excellent  shape.

season  and  may  bring  a  few  horses  over  and  winter 
them   in   California. 


It  is  said  that  Swift  E.  2:11%  by  Stam  B.  will  be 
used  on  the  snow  path  this  winter  in  Boston  by  his 
owner  Ralph  Williams. 


A  careless  hunter  recently  shot  and  killed  the  val-

Vinnie  Mann  by  Alexis  took  a  record  of  2:13%  at

The  time  in  the  2:04  pace  at  Lexington  on  Satur- 
day last  does  not  constitute  a  world's  record  for  three 
heats  as  has  been  reported.  The  time  was  2:02%, 
2:02,  2:04%.  an  average  of  2:03  1-6.  At  Providence 
in  1903  Dan  R.  won  the  first  heat  of  the  free-for-all 
pace  in  2:01%,  and  Prince  Alert  the  next  two  in 
2:03^4,  and  2:03%,  an  average  of  2:02  5-6. 


The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  would  like  very  much 
to  get   In   communication    with   a   former   resident    of 
ranciSCO  whose  name  is  Spoor,  but  whose  given 
or  initials  has  been  forgotten.     Mr.   Sp<  ■ 

fvith  the  Black  Hawk  Stables  on  Valencia 
L884    or    1885,    was   afterward   with   Prof. 
the   horse  trainer,  and  then  with  Richard  Gird 
at    the    latter's    Chlno   ranch.      If   any    of   our   readers 
know  the  present  address  of  Mr.  Spoor  they  will  con- 
fer a  great  favor  by  sending  the  same  to  this  office. 


Maud  Keswick  2:03%  is  now  the  fastest  new  2:10 
pacer  of  the  year.  It  is  quite  a  step  in  life  .to  come 
from  the  humble  occupation  of  drawing  a  cheese 
wagon  one  year  ago  and  being  the  queen  of  the  pacing 
brigade.  Then  she  was  bought  for  $400;  now  it  would 
take  $10,000  to  buy  her. 


At  an  auction  sale  of  draft  horses  in  Chicago  last 
week  the  Pabst  Brewing  Company  paid  $1,300  for  a 
pair  of  Percheron  geldings  that  weighed  3,800'  pounds 

Dan  Patch's  career  in  thirty-three  days  from  his 
first  start  in  1905  is  thus  summarized:  First  mile. 
1:59%:  second  mile,  1:57%:  third  mile,  2:00%  (un- 
paced>;  fourth  mile,  2:01  (half  mile  track);  fifth  mile, 
2:05  (half  mile  track  to  wagon);  sixth  mile,  2:01% 
(half  mile  track);  seventh  mile,  1:56;  eighth  mile, 
1:55%.  The  attendance  at  his  exhibitions  has  been 
255.000:  he  broke  three  world  records,  and  earned 
$21,000   in   twenty-six  days   in   September. 


There  is  always  a  time  to  sell  a  horse.  Last  week 
at  the  Lexington  autumn  sales,  Pilatus,  by  Onward, 
was  sold  for  $1,800.  A  few  years  ago  $10,000  was 
refused  for  him. 


Major  McKinley  2:05%  races  without  hopples,  boots 
or  anything  but  a  harness  and  is  said  to  be  the 
fastest  pacer  that  does  so. 


On  the  same  day  that  Nancy  Hanks'  son  Admir.it 
Dewey  took  a  trotting  record  of  2:04%  at  Lexington, 
another  son  of  hers,  Lord  Roberts,  won  a  race  at 
Readville  and  took  a  trotting  record  of  2:12%. 


The  Rural  Spirit  says:  C.  X.  Larrabee.  of  Brook- 
Xook  Ranche.  Montana,  made  the  largest  exhibit  of 
standard  bred  horses  and  won  every  first  prize  com- 
peted for  at  the  Lewis  and  Clark  Exposition.  His 
horses  were  principally  drivers,  and  were  greatly  ad- 
mired by  the  throngs  of  people  who  watched  the 
judging.  It  will  be  seen  by  the  summaries  that  Mr 
Larrabee's  winnings  brings  great  credit  to  his  efforts 
as  a  breeder  of  light  harness  horses,  and  stamps 
Brook-Xook  Ranche  a  producer  of  high  class  horses. 
Xot  only  did  Mr.  Larrabee's  entries  win,  but  many 
of  the  horses  he  sold  here  last  spring  were  prize  win- 
ners entered  by  other  people.  It  would  be  hard  for 
any  one  breeder  to  met  with  greater  success  in  the 
ring  than  did  Mr.  Larrabee  at  this  show." 


J.  B.  Stetson  has  shipped  a  string  of  horses  from 
Portland,  Oregon,  to  Los  Angeles.  He  will  enter  three 
of  them  in  the  Southern  California  Circuit,  one  in 
the  2:12  pace,  one  in  the  2:24  pace  and  one  in  the 
2:24   trot. 


In  the  free-for-all  pace  at  the  Hanford  fair  Daeda- 
lion  broke  the  track  record  by  pacing  the  second  heat 
in  2:12.  This  is  good  time  for  a  half  mile  track.  In 
this  race  Jonesa  Basler  finished  in  front  in  the  last 
heat,  but  was  disqualified  for  a  foul.  The  decision 
of  the  judges  was  protested  and  the  money  is  tied  up. 


The  two-year-old  pacing  filly  at  Indianapolis  whose 
owners  offer  to  match  her  against  anything  of  her 
age,  has  paced  a  mile  in  2:11%.  with  the  last  half  in 
1:04%,  and  is  said  to  be  faultlessly  gaited.  She  was 
sired  by  the  pacing  champion  Dan  Patch  1:56.  out 
of  Wyna  G.  2:19*4.  by  Coleridge  2:05*4. 


"Raymond"  says:  'It  is  reported  that  suit  has 
been  brought  at  Lexington.  Ky.,  by  Isaac  Eckert.  ol 
Reading,  Pa.,  against  Gus  Macey,  to  recover  damages 
for  alleged  miserepresentations  made  at  the  t'.me  of 
the  sale  of  Country  Jay  2:10%.  to  Eckert  by  Macey, 
last  spring.  John  I.  Allen,  a  member  of  the  Ken- 
tucky Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  and  a 
well  known  lawyer,  is  acting  for  Mr.  Eckert.  It  is 
alleged  that  evidence  can  be  adduced  to  prove  that 
Country  Jay.  though  sold  as  sound,  was  lame  all  last 
season,  but  was  cocained  in  his  work  and  exhibition 
miles.  The  price  paid  for  Country  Jay  last  spring 
by  Mr.  Eckert  was  reported  to  be  a  very  large  one. 
and  when  the  horse  went  lame  soon  after  the  sale, 
horsemen  generally  were  suspicious  that  he  had  never 
really  gotten  over  the  lameness  that  kept  him  off 
tii   track  for  two  or  three  years." 


Sadie  Mac  won  $12,700,  and  Angiola  and  Bon  Voyage 
are  the  only  other  trotters  that  won  $10,000  or  more 
in   the  Grand  Circuit

"How  some  of  these  trainers  take  horses  to  fee 
care  for  and  train  for  $20  a  month  is  hard  to  unde 
stand,"  said  a  San  Francisco  horseman  the  other  da 
"It  costs  more  than  that  amount  to  feed  and  care  f 
a  horse  properly,  and  I  can't  see  how  these  $20 
month  trainers  l.ve.  Perhaps  they  are  like  the  o

a  horse  by  the  month.  His  bid  was  eight  dollars  a*

ARIZONA  FAIR  AND   RACES. 


I 


The  beautiful  mare  Delight  won  three  premiums 
at  the  Kentucky  State  Fair,  including  a  sweepstakes 
for  the  best  mare,  gelding  or  stallion,  and  also  the 
best  four-year-old  and  over  to  harness.  Delight  is 
by  Allerton  2:09*4,  and  is  not  only  an  exceedingly 
handsome  mare,  but  has  trotted  miles  in  2:10  and 
belter  in  her  work,  while  doing  quarters  and  halves 
at  a  much  higher  rate  of  speed.  She  is  a  mare  of 
great  style  and  finish.  There  should  be  more  Allerton 
blood  in  California.    We  are  short  on  this  great  strain. 


This  is  how  the  Western  Horseman  very  pertinently 
and  properly  puts  a  case:  "Salina,  Kansas,  thought 
it  was  possible  to  hold  a  fair  and  race  meeting  with- 
out letting  the  outside  world  know  anything  about  it. 
The  meeting  came  off,  all  right,  with  twelve  harness 
horses  on  the  ground,  one-third  of  that  number  local 
animals.  The  first  day  it  is  asserted  that  all  of  seven 
persons  occupied  the  grand  stand.  There  is  no  use 
paying  for  advertising  space  when  such  a  meeting 
ran  be  held  without  the  use  of  printer's  ink." 


The  first  annual  fair  of  Arizona  will  be  held  i 
Phoenix,  December  4th  to  9th,  this  year.  A  lettt 
received  from  Mr.  W.  X.  Tiffany.  Superintendent  j 
Speed,   says: 

"We  appreciate  that  we  must  depend  on  Californi 
to  furnish  us  the  bulk  of  our  entries,  and  we  w 
to  do  everything  we  can  to  show  horsemen  there  thi 
it  will  be  to  their  interests  to  come  over  and  atten 
our  meeting.  I  cannot  see  why  practically  every  hor; 
that  is  in  racing  condition  at  the  close  of  the  Souti 
ern  California  circuit  should  not  come  to  our  meets 
There  will  be  no  place  else  for  them  to  go  except  inl 
winter  quarters,  and  the  program  we  are  offerir. 
should  convince  them  they  cannot  afford  to  sta 
away.  I  have  carefully  arranged  the  program  so  th; 
a  horse  eligible  to  any  class  slower  than  the  fret 
for-alls  can  get  at  least  two  starts  during  the  we€ 
with  one  or  more  days  between.  The  railroads  ha-v 
agreed  to  make  us  cheap  freight  rates  from  Los  Ar 
geles,  and  to  bring  the  horses  through  on  passengt 
schedule,  if  we  can  get  enough  horses  to  warrant  i 
This  would  mean  it  would  cost  but  a  trifle  to  mal- 
the  trip  (probably  something  like  $20  per  horse  fi 
the  round  trip),  and  the  ship  would  not  consume  ov< 
about  eighteen  hours. 

"Everything  is  getting  into  fine  shape  at  oi 
grounds.  Our  tracks  are  already  far  better  than  tr 
average,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  it  is  bare) 
two  weeks  since  we  finished  grading.  There  are  aboi 
fifty  horses  now  at  the  track,  and  every  trainer  \wb 
has  been  on  the  track  says  they  will  be  as  fast  s 
any  in  the  country  before  our  meeting  opens.  M 
George  Klotzbach.  who  recently  arrived  from  Xe 
York  with  Mr.  W.  C.  Greene's  string  of  speelwa 
and  matinee  horses,  says  our  mile  track  is  now- a 
fast  and  as  good  as  he  ever  saw  the  Empire  Cii 
track  this  summer:  and  he  agrees  that  in  less  tha 
thirty  days  more  it  will  be  the  equal,  if  not  tb 
superior,  of  any  other  track  in  the  entire  eountr; 
Mr.  Klotzbach's  string  includes  Boralma's  Brothe 
Florence  Wilton.  Paul  D.  Kelley  (1)  2:20,  Billing 
the  great  three-year-old  who  paced  our  track  las 
week  in  2:11%  and  will  be  specially  prepared  an 
started  at  our  meeting  to  beat  the  world's  three-yeai 
old  record  of  2:05%  now  held  by  Klatawah;  Cobr 
Grande,  the  Arizona  pacer  who  cleaned  up  about  a 
the  pacers  on  the  New  York  Speedway  this  summe 
and  several  others,  eight  head  in  all. 

"Mr.  J.  K.  Wheat  also  returned  from  Libertyvill' 
111.,  last  week  with  the  horses  of  Mr.  J.  C.  Adams  tha 
have  been  racing  so  well  through  the  Eastern  State 
this  summer,  including  Sally  Pointer  2:11,  Bystande 
2.13%  (by  Zolock).  Billy  A.  2:14*4.  and  Custer,  th 
good  four-year-old  son  of  Sidney  Dillon,  that  mad 
sueh  a  good  showing  in  some  of  the  big  stakes  t»  ' 
the  Great  Western  circuit.  Mr.  Adams  has  also  nov 
got  at  the  track  several  very  promising  yearlings  an 
two-year-olds  by  McKinney,  Mendocino,  L.  W.  Rus*' 
sell.  Oh  So,  and  Boydello,  that  are  being  prepare1' 
for  our  colt   stakes." 

Attention  is  called  to  the  advertisement  of  this  fal 
in  this  issue,  and  we  hope  as  many  California  horse 
men  as  can  possibly  afford  it  will  enter  their  horse 
at  this  meeting.

LEXINGTON    RACES. 

After  two  days  of  rain,  racing  was  begun  again  at 
the  Lexington  track  on  Thursday  of  last  week.  A 
large  crowd  was  present  and  the  greatest  number  of 
harness  races  ever  decided  in  one  day  on  the  Lexing- 
ton track  were  finished.  Seven  events  were  on  the 
program  and   three   of  them   were  stakes. 

The  feature  of  the  card  was  the  McDowell- stake, 
with  a  value  of  53000,  followed  by  the  Lexington,  a 
practical  renewal  of  two-year-old  futurity,  and  the 
West  for  2:29  trotters.  The  former  event  was  won 
by  Angiola,  who  won  three  out  of  four  heats.  The 
two-year-old  stake  was  captured  by  Siliko,  driven  by 
Charles  Marvin,  the  old  Palo  Alto  driver,  while  the 
I  West  was  won  in  straight  heats  by  the  New  York 
gelding,  Albert  C,  with  the  California  horse,  Danube, 
second.     The  track  was  slow:

HANFORD    RACES. 


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

Friday,  the  ninth  and  last  day  of  the  fall  meeting 
of  i  e  eot  ckv  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association, 
drew  another  large  crowd  to  witness  the  attempt  of 
L»an  Jb-atcn  to  lower  the  world's  pacing  record  of 
1:59%  made  by  Star  Pointer  in  1897  without  the  aid 
of  a  wind  shield  or  dirt  shield. 

The  racing  marvel  did  not  lower  the  mark,  but  he 
succeeded  in  tying  it  in  the  face  of  a  strong  wind, 
which  blew  in  a  gale  down  the  stretch. 

The  performance  was  pronounced  by  horsemen  as 
being  the  most  wonderful  mile  ever  paced  by  a  horse, 
and  it  easily  demonstrated  the  fact  that  the  great 
son  of  Joe  Patchen  is  able  to  beat  the  mark  with 
even  chances. 

Paced  by  a  runner  at  his  side  and  one  behind,  the 
horse  went  to  quarter  in  :030,  half  in  0:59,  three- 
quarters  in  1:28%,  and  negotiated  the  mile  in  1:59%. 
The  main  event  on  the  card  to-day,  the  Kentucky 
stake  for  three-year-olds,  was  won  in  straight  heats 
by  Susie  N..  who  was  backed  for  a  good  thing  in  the 
Futurity  last  week.  The  race  to-day,  which  was 
practically  a  repetition  of  the  Futurity,  was  devoid 
of  much  interest  on  account  of  the  absence  of  Miss 
Adbell,  winner  of  the  classic  event  on  the  first  day  of 
the  meeting  Bon  "Voyage,  W.  A.  Clark's  great  colt, 
trotted  an  excellent  race  and  was  a  good  third  in 
both  heats. 

Lady  Mo  wry  won  third  money  in  the  2:20  class 
trot  which  went  to  the  sensational  trotter  Main  Sheet. 
Lady  Mowry  was  second  in  the  fastest  heat  of  this 
race. 

Oregon  Maid,  driven  by  Charlie  Dean,  won  the  2:  OS 
class  pace  which  required  five  heats  to  decide.  Ben 
F.  won  the  first  heat  of  this  race  in  2:07%  and  was 
awarded    third    money.      The    summaries:

RACES  AT  BAKER  CITY,  OREGON. 


SAN   FRANCISCO  DRIVING  CLUB  AT  SANTA 
ROSA. 

Over  300  excursionists  went  to  Santa  Rosa  last  Sun- 
day to  attend  the  meeting  of  the  San  Francisco  Driv- 
ing Club  at  the  famous  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  track. 
They  found  the  track  faster  and  in  much  better  shape 
than  any  track  the  club  horses  had  previously  raced 
over,  and  fast  time  was  made  in  several  of  the  events. 
Four  races  were  on  the  card,  but  owing  to  accidents 
and  other  delays  but  two  of  them  were  finished.  The 
unfinished  races  will  be  concluded  at  the  same  track 
tomorrow  afternoon  when  another  excurs.on  will  be 
run  from  this  city. 

In  the  first  race  won  by  N.  L  B.,  a  son  of  Diablo. 
Grace  McKinney  took  the  second  heat  in  2:14';,  the 
fastest  of  the  race,  but  owing  to  a  collision  in  the 
third  heat  fell  and  was  distanced,  as  was  Cash,  driven 
by  Worth  Ober.     Mr.  Ober  was  pretty  badly  bruised. 

The  2:40  class  was  won  by  Dan  Lieginger  with  the 
horse  Senator  Hearst,  his  winning  heats  being  in 
2:20%  and  2:21%.  The  Chas.  Derby  horse  Ed  Rea 
won  the  first  heat  of  this  race  in  2:25. 

In  the  free-for-all,  which  was  first  advertised  to  be 
finished  at  the  end  of  five  heats,  the  conditions  were 
changed  and  it  was  raced  according  to  the  best  three 
in  five  heats.  Five  heats  were  decided  and  then  the 
race  had  to  be  postponed  until  next  Sinday.  Clara  L. 
won  the  first  two  in  2:14%  and  2:15,  Gertie  A.  by 
Diablo  took  the  next  two  in  2:12%  and  2:19%,  and 
Kittie  D.  by  Dictatus  the  fifth  in  2:17 

In  the  2.25  class  Mixer  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  took 
the  first  heat  in  2:22%  and  Welladay  by  Steinway 
got  the  second  in  2:19.  The  finish  of  the  race  was 
then   postponed  until   the  following  Sunday. 

W.  J.  Kenney,  the  well  known  bike  builder,  made 
his  debut  as  a  starter  at  this  meet  ng  and  got  the 
horses  off  well  and  promptly,  never  scoring  them 
more  than  three  times.  W.  Murray,  A.  Benson  and 
J.  Bonney  were  the  judges.  F.  Jensen  was  assistant 
starter  and  B.  Smith  marshal  W.  Todd,  J.  Coon  and 
J  Deschler  were  timers.  T.  J.  Douglass  is  the  secre- 
tary and  J.  W.  McTigue  president  of  the  club. 

The  track  was  in  splendid  shape  and  very  fast  and 
the  club  members  highly  complimented  Manager 
Frank  Turner  on  its  condition  and  his  hospitality. 
The  totalisator  was  used  for  betting  and  was  voted 
"the  only"  system.  It  was  not  only  absolutely  fair, 
but  it  left  the  money  with  the  public  unlike  the  syn- 
dicate  book.     The  summaries:

WHEN   THE    DOG   SMILES. 


(  By  John  Lemm^r  > 
The  dog's  a  funny  animal — 

Domesticated   kind. 
The  while   he  his  teeth  before — 

He  wears  his  grin  behind. 
This   s.-enis  qui'  leal, 

Quite  waggish — You  won't  fail 
To  note  betimes,  a  canine's  smile 

Is    just    a    wagging    ; 

I  used   to   know   a   little   purp 

Wim  smiled  on   me  each  night. 
When  I  returned  from  my  day's  work — 

Mis    tail    wagged    with    delight. 
!(<■   was  a  Joyous,    happy   dog — 

1  chronicle  with  pain 
The  fact,  he  lost  his  t;iii  one  day — 

He    never    smiled    again. 

Oh!    fellers  all,  be  good  to  dogs — 

h>   my   warning   hark: 
Don't  twist  their  tails  nor  drown  their  purps— 

'Tls  wrong  to  wreck  a  bark. 
Never  look  a  big  dog  In  the  eye, 

Your  «our;ige  well  might  fall— 
To  know  If  well  he  thinks  of  you, 

Hnhher  p*    bis  bloomln'   tall. 


At  the  recent  quarterly  meeting  of  the  American 
Kennel  Club  this  important  question  was  thoroughly 
threshed  out.  While  it  is  a  matter  of  greater  im- 
portance in  the  East  it  is  one  of  growing  interest  on 
the  Coast. 

The  status  of  the  amateur — whose  cloak  has  covered 
a  multitude  of  vexations  when  settlement  time  came — 
is  now  defined.  Outside  of  transportation  expenses, 
the  "amateur"  judge  should  be  one  who  can  afford 
to  follow  the  bent  of  his  fancy  and  stand  his  legiti- 
mate expenses,  just  as  an  exhibitor  does  when  he 
takes  in  a  show  at  another  town. 

The  Secretary:  1  have  a  resolution  here,  offered  by 
the  Membership  Committee.     It  is  as  follows: 

Whereas,  It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee that  the  status  of  a  paid  judge  at  dog  shows 
and  field  trials  should  be  determined.    Be  it 

Resolved,  That  a  paid  judge  shall  be  defined  as  any- 
one who  shall  have  received  or  agrees  to  receive  any 
monetary  compensation  for  services  as  a  judge  at  any 
dog  show  or  field  trial.  Any  judge  receiving  money 
for  expenses  shall  be  considered  a  paid  judge  unless 
the  amount  simply  covers  his  necessary  and  legitimate 
expenses,  which  shall  consist  solely  of  transporation 
fares  from  and  to  his  home,  and  hotel  charges  during 
his  stay  at  the  show  or  trial.     Be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  all  judges,  except  paid  judges,  be 
and  hereby  are  required  to  file  with  the  secretary  of 
the  American  Kennel  Club,  witlrm  thirty  days  after 
the  show  or  trials,  an  itemized  bill  of  his  expenses, 
provided  the  club  at  which  he  judged  has  or  agrees 
to  reimburse  him  for  said  expenses,  and  said  reim- 
bursement accepted  by  said  judge,  and  any  judge 
who  fails  to  file  an  itemized  bill  of  expenses  as  above 
provided  shall  be  considered  a  paid  judge. 

Mr.  Moore:  I  move  that  the  resolution  be  referred 
to  the  Rules  Committee  for  consideration. 

Motion   seconded. 

Mr.  Muss-Arnoldt:    I  move  the  resolution  be  adopted. 

Mr.  Viti:     I  second  the  motion. 

Mr.  Emery:  The  idea  of  the  Membership  Commit- 
tee in  forming  that  resolution  was  simply  to  get  in- 
struction. We  wanted  to  know  how  we  should  define 
a  paid  judge,  because  in  these  credentials  we  ask  that 
question,  whether  or  not  they  are  paid  judges. 

The  Secretary:  As  a  member  of  the  Rules  Com- 
mittee, it  does  not  appear  to  me  that  that  is  a  proper 
subject  for  that  committee's  consideration.  If  it  was 
a  change  in  the  rules  in  any  way,  shape  or  form,  then 
there  is  no  question  that  it  should  be  committed  to 
the  Rules  Committee,  considered  by  it  and  published 
in  the  Gazette  before  it  could  be  finally  acted  upon 
at  this  meeting,  but  here  is  a  definition  only;  it  is 
not  a  rule;  it  is  simply  a  definition-tor  the  assistance 
of  the  Membership  Committee  in  the  prosecution  of 
its  duties,  so  that  it  may  know  exactly  where  it 
stands.  It  asks  this  association  to  define  who  is  and 
what  is  a  paid  judge.  It  does  not  seem  to  me,  as  a 
member  of  the  Rules  Committee,  that  that  matter 
should  come  before  it. 

Mr.  Dale:  A  professional  or  paid  judge  is  not  eligi- 
ble, as  I  understand  it,  or  a  Secretary,  to  represent  a 
club. 

The  Secretary:  Further  than  that,  a  man  to  repre- 
sent a  club  must  think  enough  of  the  club  to  become 
an  active  member  of  it,  or  the  club  must  think  enough 
of  a  man  to  make  him  an  honorary  member. 

Mr.  Foster:  Suppose  one  of  us  goes  up  to  Canada 
and  judges,  and  we  do  not  choose  to  charge  up  any 
expense  at  all,  every  man  who  does  that  under  this 
resolution  would  have  to  send  word  to  the  Secretary 
of  the  American  Kennel  Club  that  he  was  not  charg- 
ing his  expenses  or  be  considered  a  paid  judge. 

The  Chair:  The  judge  will  have  to  send  in  word 
that   he   has  not   accepted   any   money. 

Mr.  Smith:  This  idea  of  sending  in  word  to  the 
American  Kennel  Club  within  thirty  days  would  only 
occur  where  man  had  received  his  expenses  Many 
of  us  go  all  around  the  country  and  judge,  and  do 
not  charge  any  expenses,  but  the  object  of  this  is 
simply  to  make  a  fine  distinction  between  the  one  and 
the  other. 

Mr.  Muss-Arnolt:  I  think  the  matter  would  be 
much  simpler  if  there  was  included  in  the  resolution 
a  provision  compelling  the  show's  Secretary,  when  he 
sends  in  the  catalogue,  to  send  in  the  list  marked 
■'amateur  judge"  or  "paid  judge."  If  the  show's  Sec- 
retary is  compelled  to  note  whether  or  not  a  judge  is 
paid,   it  will  simplify  the  matter  considerably. 

Mr.  Smith:  That  is  the  idea  of  that  resolution,  to 
determine  what  an  amateur  judge  is.  There  are  ama- 
teur judges  that  will  go  from  here  to  Honolulu,  for 
instance,  and  judge  at  a  show  and  who  will  send  in 
an  imenized  account  of  their  expenses  amounting  to 
$50  or  $75.  He  is  an  amateur  judge,  but  how  his 
expenses  can  amount  to  as  much  as  that  is  a  puzzle 
eral  of  the  show  secretaries.  Mr.  Muss-Arnolt's 
idea  of  having  the  show  secretary  send  in  a  catalogue, 
marking  the  judge  paid  or  unpaid,  would  still  give 
the  judge  who  was  supposed  to  be  an  amateur  the 
same  privilege. 

Mr.  Viti:  It  seems  to  me  that  this  wording  answers 
the  objection  of  Mr.  Foster,  "Provided  the  club  at 
which  he  judged  has  or  agrees  to  reimburse  him" 
Where  you  pay  your  own  expenses,  and  do  not  ask 
to  be  reimbursed,  you  do  not  have  to  file  any  state- 
ment. 

Mr.  Foster.  I  happen  to  think  of  an  instance.  The 
people  up  in  Toronto  asked  me  to  come  up  there  and 


judge  Bull  Terriers,  and  they  told  me  to  let  them 
know  what  my  expenses  would  be  and  they  would 
reimburse  me.  I  told  them  I  was  not  a  professional 
judge,  and  was  going  to  their  show  anyhow,  and  that 
I  would  not  charge  for  any  expenses.  Those  people 
would  probably  tell  you  they  had  agreed  to  pay 
expenses,  while  I  would  say  I  had  not  charged  the: 
any  expenses. 

Mr.  McGuire:     The  American  Kennel  Club  will  ha' 
to    determine   whether   the    charges   are   excessive   oi 
not. 

Mr.  Muss-Arnolt:  That  should  be  left  to  the  show 
secretary  to  determine;  he  is  the  man  that  ought 
to  know. 

Mr.  Moore:      I  agree  with  the   suggestion   that 
secretary   of   the   show   should   be   compelled  to   sen 
in  a  list  of  his  paid  and  unpaid  judges,  but  I  fail 
see  any  necessity  for  the  rule  at  all. 

Mr.  McGuire:  This  matter  has  been  threshed  oul 
in  the  Amateur  Athletic  Union.  A  man  is  either  an 
amateur  or  professional,  and  this  very  resolution  that 
you  are  discussing  now  has  raised  a  lot  of  questions. 
You  cannot  draw  the  line  as  to  what  ono  man's  ex- 
penses would  be.  I  remember,  five  years  ago,  among 
baseball  teams  it  was  customary  for  the  members  of 
the  teams  to  play  ball  at  certain  summer  resorts,  and 
a  great  many  of  them  received  their  railroad  ex- 
penses, which  amounted  to  $400  or  $500,  but  they  were 
still  amateurs.  This  is  the  same  question,  nothing 
different. 

Mr.  Smith:  For  the  very  reason  that  the  gentleman 
gives,  I  think  that  it  has  become  the  duty  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club,  or  the  delegates,  or  some  com- 
mittee to  determine  what  an  amateur  judge  is,  inas- 
much as  it  has  been  a  very  much  disabused  privilege 
by  several  people,  who  pose  as  amateur  judges,  going 
around  to  different  shows  and  saying  they  would  act 
as  judges  provided  their  expenses  were  paid,  and  when 
the  shows  conies  to  settle  the  bill  for  their  expenses, 
they  are  found  to  be  greatly  in  excess  of  what  they 
should  be.  I  am  saying  this  for  the  benefit  of  several 
of  the  delegates  here  who  seem  to  be  in  favor  of 
adopting  this  resolution. 

The    Secretary :      I   can   tell  you   of   two    instances, 
and    both    men   are   gentlemen   amateur   judges,    whi 
would  not  under  any  consideration  accept  remunera 
Lion  for  judging.     One  of  them  went  from  New  Yor] 
to  Philadelphia.    We  all  know  that  the  excursion  ra 
is   $4,    and   a   dollar   for   a    drawing-room   seat   the; 
and  back  makes  $6.    He  stayed  there  four  days,  which 
he  had  a  right  to  do,  because  he  has  a  right  to  stay 
until  the  close  of  the  show,  for  the  reason  that  he  is 
a  judge  until  the  close  of  the  show.     He  paid  about 
the  highest  rate  for  hotel  expenses,  $7  a  day,  which 
was  $2S,  plus  $6  for  railroad  transportation,   making 
$34  altogether.     Every  dollar  that  he  received  in  ex^ 
cess  of  $34  was  paid  for  his  services  to  that  club.   He 
put  in  a  bill  for  expenses  $75,  and  he  claims    he    is 
strictly  an  amateur  judge.     In  another  case,  in  Pitts- 
burg, the  receipted  bill  showed  $75  charged,  and  yel 
$30    was    more    than    a   generous    allowance,    for    t 
man  lived  only  a  little  way  from  Pittsburg. 

Mr.  Dale:  I  claim  there  are  enough  gentlemen  in. 
the  dog  world  who  will  go  around  and  judge  without 
any  remuneration  at  all.    It  is  one  or  the  other. 

Mr.  Middlebrooke:  I  am  in  favor  of  passing  the 
resolution  if  you  will  change  it  to  read  that  the  secre- 
tary of  the  club  or  the  superintendent  will  make  the 
return.  I  move,  as  an  amendment,  that  the  return 
be  made  by  the  secretary  of  the  club  holding  the  show 
or  superintendent. 

Mr.  McGuire:  I  move  an  amendment  to  that  amend- 
ment, making  it  obligatory  upon  the  secretary  of  the 
show  to  file  with  the  secretary  of  the  American  Ken- 
nel Club  a  statemen  of  all  moneys  paid  to  judges  at 
shows.  Any  man  who  is  paid  in  excess  of  his  railroad 
transportation  expenses  will  be  considered  by  the 
American  Kennel  Club  a  professional  judge. 

Mr  Middlebrooke.  I  should  be  willing  to  pay  a  rea- 
sonable hotel  bill. 

Mr.  McGuire:  A  man  who  has  no  objection  to 
accepting  his  hotel  expenses,  should  have  no  objection 
to  becoming  a  professional. 

Mr.  Smith:  That  question  was  brought  up  by  one? 
of  the  members  of  the  committee  when  we  framed 
this  resolution,  who  assumed  the  case  of  a  man  being 
sent  from  here  to  Denver  to  judge,  and  the  man  could 
not  afford  to  pay  his  railroad  expenses,  and  unless 
he  were  allowed  to  receive  that  amount  of  compensa- 
tion, he  could  not  judge  at  that  show,  and,  therefore, 
his  being  an  amateur  would  prevent  him  going. 

Mr.  McGuire:  That  applies  to  the  amateur  ir;  every 
line  of  sport.  If  a  man  wants  to  remain  an  amateur, 
he  must,  necessarily,  be  in  a  position  to  afford  to 
remain  such.  If  he  is  not  and  does  not  care  to  be-5 
come  a  professional,  let  him  refrain  from  judging. 
You  have  got  to  draw  the  line  and  you  have  got  to 
draw   it  very  close. 

Mr.  McGuire's  proposed  amendment  was  put  to  a 
vote  and  lost.    • 

Mr  Moore:  I  move  that  the  resolution  be  referred 
to  the  Rules  Committee. 

Motion  seconded  and  lost. 

Mr.  Middlebrooke's  proposed  amendment  was  also 
put  and  lost. 

Mr.  McGuire:  I  move  That  the  resolution  be  laid 
on  the  table. 

Motion   seconded   and   carried. 

Mr.  Emery  offered  the  following  resolution: 

Be  it  Resolved,  That  a  paid  judge  shall  be  defined 
as  any  one  who  shall  have  received  or  agrees  to  reJ 
ceive  any  monetary  compensation  for  services  as  a 
judge  at  any  dog  show  or  field  trial.  Any  judge  re- 
ceiving money  for  expenses  shall  be  considered  a  pai<U 
judge.     And,  be  it  further 

Resolved,  That  the  secretary  oi»  superintendent  of  all 
show-giving  clubs  shall,  within  ten  days  after  the 
close  of  its  show,  forward  to  the  secretary  of  the( 
American  Kennel  Club  a  list  of  all  judges  who  have 
or  are  to  receive  any  monetary  consideration  for  ex- 
penses or  otherwise. 

Resolution  seconded  and  carried.

GUTS,  LEADERS  AND   LINES. 


A  description  of  the  Spanish  and  American  gut- 
,orm.  how  gut  is  prepared  and  the  processes  of  leader 
laking;  lines  of  hair,  silk  and  hemp  and  the  dress- 
iig  of  lines  is  treated  in  an  interesting  manner  by 
Ir.  John  Harrington  Keene  in  the  Sporting  Goods 
)ealer.  We  take  the  liberty  of  giving  it  this  week 
In  the  principle  that  when  you  come  across  a  good 
,hing  pass  it  along. 

The  Moorish  and  Spanish  silkworm  is  the  larvae  of 
he  bombyx  mori  moth  and  differs  little  from  the  Jap- 
nese  silk  worm  in  growth  and  habit.  The  product 
f  the  Spanish  worm  is  that  which  is  used  generally 
|y  the  angler  and  is  of  various  lengths  and  thick- 
esses  according  to  the  size  and  health  of  the  silk 
iics  in  the  worm.  The  process  of  raising  the  worm 
Vom  the  egg  of  the  moth  and  the  feeding  of  the 
jaterpillar  on  the  mulberry  leaf  is  very  simple  and 
|asy  and  has  been  again  and  again  described.  The 
easant  people  of  the  little  Moorish  town  of  Murcia 
ieem  to  monopolize  the  trade  of  gut  production,  and 
p  entirely  retain  it,  though  it  has  been  tried  in  this 
ountry  with  success  so  far  back  as  1853  in  the  silk 
enter  of  Paterson,  N.  J. 
It  may  be  interesting  to  state  to  what  extent  it 
as  been  attempted  to  supplement  he  Spanish  indus- 
>y  at  Paterson.  More  than  half  a  century  ago  a  Mr. 
ohn  Ryle,  who  had  spent  his  life  in  the  silk  indus- 
■y  in  Paterson,  introduced  this  industry  and  the 
multicaulis  craze,"  as  it  was  termed,  was  widely 
revalent  about  this  time  when  people  raised  mul- 
erry  trees  everywhere  and  especially  at  Paterson, 
•here  many  old  trees  of  this  kind  still  exist.  The 
raze,  however,  finally  died  out  when  it  was  found 
nat  the  Americans  could  not  compete  with  the  pauper 
,ibor  of  Italy,  Spain,  Murcia  and  China  in  reeling  from 
le  cocoons  and  in  feeding  the  worm,  both  of  which 
re  very  tedious  and  poorly  paid  operations.  It  was, 
owever,  found  on  experiment  that  the  Italian  and 
panish  silkworm  produced  even  better  silk  on  Amer- 
on  mulberry  leaves  than  on  the  leaves  of  its  native 
>il,  and  it  was  without  question  possible  to  rear  and 
se  the  silkworm  here  to  perfection.  The  cost  of  do- 
lg  so  being  the  only  objection  and  this  seems  to 
e   insuperable. 

1  The  silkworm  gut  which  is  used  for  fishing  is 
imost  entirely  of  Italian  and  Spanish  production  and 
;s  length  seldom  exceeds  two  feet  and  the  thickness 
^  the  best  salmon  gut  is  always  limited  by  the 
ngth,  being  less  as  its  length  is  increased.  A  strand 
I  gut  is  seldom  strong  and  durable  if  over  23  inches 
■ng  and  of  course  when  made  into  leaders  the  knots 
■e  the  weak  points  in  every  leader  made. 
This  much  is  true  of  the  gut  of  commerce,  but  I 
iVe  in  my  possession  a  supply  of  Japanese  gut 
hich  was  sent  me  in  1894  by  Professor  K.  Misukuis 
"Tokio  University  (a  Yale  graduate),  and  of  which 
.any  strands  are  10  and  some  14  feet  long,  of  fine 
xture  and  stronger  than  any  Spanish  gut  of  equal 
lickness.  Most  of  these  strands  are  finer  than  the 
lest  drawn  gut  of  Murcia  manufacture  and  are  the 
Uural  product  of  the  silk  glands  of  the  calijula 
xomica.  This  gut  can  be  obtained  from  an  old  and 
liable  firm  whose  address  is  Rikichi  Nakamura, 
inza  Itchome  Tokio.  Japan.  I  have  never  seen  more 
;autiful  strands  of  silk  than  these  are  and  when  it 
borne  in  mind  that  the  longest  leaders  for  fine  trout 
;hing  can  thus  be  provided  by  Japan  without  a  sin- 
e  knot  or  weak  junction  of  the  strand,  the  desir- 
■ility  of  this  gut  is  evident  and  in  the  future  will 
rtainly  be  recognized  by  the  dealers  of  England  and 
is  country.  It  is  used  extensively  in  Japan  for  all 
rts  of  fishing  and  especially  for  the  capture  of  a 
ecies  of  the  salmon  nidae  plecoglossus  aetivelis,  Jap 
me  Argu.  This  fish  ascends  all  the  rivers  of  Japan 
oper,  and  is  only  from  two  to  three  inches  at  first, 
it  grows  to  a  foot  or  more  when  fully  grown.  It  is 
Ued  for  its  delicate  flavor.  The  famous  cormorant 
hing  on  the  Najara  river  in  Gifu  (Central  Japan), 
;:  for  catching  this  game  fish.  Artificial  insects  (of 
*iich  I  have  samples, — dressed  on  hooks  without 
rb),  are  used  for  catching  these  fish  and  are  tied 

■  in   the  American  and  English  way  to   the  leader 
ree  and   sometimes   four  on   a  leader   14   feet   long. 

I'lich  leader  is  without  a  knot. 

The  Japanese  silkworm  unquestionably  produces 
IB  finest  and  largest  white  gut,  but  the  American 
Ikworm  attacus  cecropia  from  which  I  have  drawn 
«d  have  in  my  possession  two  fibres  or  strands  of 
'■  and  13  feet  long,  of  strong  gut  and  fairly  thick  and 
t  a  faint  coffee  color  is  the  most  promising  worm  for 
1;  production  of  native  gut  that  I  know  of.  This  is 
1 :  largest  silkworm  konwn  in  existence  and  often 
f»ws  to  five  inches  in  length,  feeding  on  the  plum, 
:  ale,  "button  ball"  bush  (cephalanthus  occidentalis) 
i  i  many  other  deciduous  trees.  Its  habitat  is  coex- 
tisive  with  the  United  States  and  wherever  there  is 
si  that  will  grow  shrubs  and  trees  the  cecropia  finds 
i  home  and  makes  her  cocoon.  The  silk  thread  that 
lift  be  drawn  is  even  stronger  than  the  Spanish  gut, 
$5  per  size,  and  it  is  thicker  when  desired  than  any 
s  mon  gut  ever  drawn. 

'here    are    three    other   American    silkworms    from 

*ich  white   strands .  can   be   drawn     of     very     good 

0  Uity,  but  not  always  reliable  strength  as  with  the 

£  inish  and  cecropia.     These  are  scientifically  termed 

A  acus  prometheus,  Attacus  luna  and  Attacus  poly- 

y  mus.     Each  one  of  these  is  well  worth  experiment 

a  I   the   time   is  approaching  when   this     source     of 

A  erican  gut  will   be  largely   drawn   upon   and  pre- 

f  -ed  to  the  product,  of  Spain  and  Italy.     This  is  a 

b  i  prophecy,  but  worth  consideration. 

'he  method   of  "drawing"   gut   is     practically     the 

le  with  all  the  worms  used  for  that  purpose.     One 

"rintion  is  sufficient  for  all  the  species  of  silkworm 

'  ch  have  been  enumerated  and  is  as  follows:     The 

■  b  or  full  grown  larvae  when  it  ceases  to  feed  and 
-  ws  tiny  strip  of  exuding  silk  from   the  mouth   is 


taken  and  thrown  into  diluted  acetic  acid  or  vinegar 
for  a  few  hours  until  the  natural  moisture  of  the 
viscera  is  as  if  it  were  pickled  and  absorbed  by  the 
acid.  The.  worm  is  then  taken  out  and  the  head 
snipped  or  pulled  off  and  the  silk  sacs,  which  are  two 
in  most  of  the  silkworms,  can  be  drawn  out  intact 
and  laid  on  a  sheet  of  glass  for  further  manipulation. 
The  sacs  can  now  be  taken  between  finger  and  thumb 
of  both  hands  and  stretched  out  slowly  till  the  desired 
length  and  thickness  is  arrived  at.  Two  pins  should 
be  fixed  on  a  board  by  an  assistant  at  this  point  and 
the  ends  of  the  gut  should  be  wound  round  each  pin 
and  held  for  a  few  minutes  for  all  the  coils  to  harden 
and  so  retain  the  strand  taut  for  drying. 

This  needs  exposure  in  dry,  warm  air  for  a  period 
of  at  least  24  hours  of  the  Spanish  worm  and  in  the 
case  of  all  the  American  worms  at  least  three  days. 
The  longer  the  cecropia  strand  is  kept  before  using 
the  stronger  it  becomes,  and  the  same  fact  obtains 
with  the  other  native  worms.  The  silk  of  the  bombyx 
mori,  however,  ripens  and  hardens  almost  instantly 
in  the  sunny  atmosphere  of  Murcia  and  is  soon  ready 
for  the  next  process  which  is  necessary  before  it  is 
fit  for  the  market. 

The  gut  as  it  now  is  has  the  envelope  of  the  silk 
remaining  on  it,  and  this  has  to  be  removed  by  boil- 
ing in  a  bleaching  fluid  which  consists  of  a  mild  lye 
of  soap  which  softens  and  whitens  the  yellowish 
thread  of  the  stretched  sac  and  its  contents.  "When 
this  is  done  the  Murcian  operator — mostly  women — 
draw  the  thread  through  the  teeth  and  the  process 
is  very  often  attended  by  laceration  of  the  lips  pro- 
ducing a  painful  appearance  of  bleeding  which  the 
sufferer  does  not  seem  to  mind  much,  though  the  un- 
initiated onlookere  will  find  it  sickening  to  behold 
This  seems  to  be  a  process  which  is  found  indispens- 
able, for  some  years  ago  Mr.  Samuel  Allcock,  the 
largest  English  importer,  tried  the  experiment  of 
sending  for  gut  that  had  not  been  bleached  and  boiled 
and  still  had  the  skin  on  it  with  the  idea  of  taking  off 
the  skin  and  preparing  the  gut  himself  at  his  Red- 
ditch  factory.  Here  is  his  account  of  the  result,  pub- 
lished in  the  English  Fishing  Gazette  of  that  rate, 
May   11,   1892: 

"After  the  correspondence  which  took  place  in  your 
paper  about  three  years  ago  on  the  manufacture  of 
gut,  we  wrote  out  to  Murcia.  asking  our  manager 
there  to  send  1  cwt.  of  gut,  instructing  him  neither 
to  have  it  boiled  nor  bleached.  We  received  it,  but  in 
the  process  of  removing  the  orange  skin  the  workers 
made  it  all  flat  by  using  their  fingernails  in  peeling 
the  outer  skin  off.  There  was  scarcely  a  round  piece 
of  gut  in  a  thousand.  We  could  not  sell  it.  We  there- 
fore wrote  to  our  manager  about  it,  who  said  if  we 
would  return  it  he  thought  he  could  put  it  all  right. 
This  I  doubted  very  much,  as  I  could  not  see  how  he 
was  going  to  make  it  round.  Nor  was  I  wrong;  for, 
after  having  bleached  it,  he  returned  it  to  us  again — 
but  as  fiat  as  ever.  This  experiment  was  a  loss  to 
us  of  £50.  We  have  still  a  small  quantity  of  that 
gut  left;   but  no  dealer  will  buy  it. 

'If  any  tackle-maker  will  order  a  few  thousand 
of  gut  in  the  natural  state,  we  will  import  it  to  them 
and  will  order  a  few  thousand  to  be  sent  out  of  this 
season's  crop  to  be  unbleached,  but  boiled,  so  that 
the  workers  can  peel  off  the  orange  skin  easily  with- 
out flattening  it.  As  soon  as  we  get  it,  I  will  send 
you  some.     I  am,  etc.,  S.  ALLCOCK." 

One  point  is  probably  important  in  the  drawing  of 
gut  which  is  seldom  mentioned  in  the  descriptions  of 
the  process,  viz.,  that  the  Murcian  holds  the  sac  in 
the  vinegar  with  one  hand  while  he  draws  the  other 
end  with  the  other — the  right.  I  have,  however, 
not  found  it  necessary  to  do  this  with  our  native 
worms.  When  their  sac  is  stretched  in  air  it  seems 
to  harden  at  once  and  there  is  no  skin  to  be  re- 
moved from  the  cecropia's  gut,  at  least.  Of  this 
cecropia  gut  I  have  a  leader  in  my  possession  tied 
by  a  Long  Island  trout  fisherman  30  years  ago.  or 
thereabouts,  of  strands  of  this  gut  not  less  than 
20  inches  each  in  length  and  many  larger,  and  the  . 
whole  leader  is  60  feet  long.  The  maker  of  this 
leader  made  it  during  one  year,  and  used  it  as  he 
needed  it.  cutting  it  in  six-feet  lengths.  How  long 
it  originally  was  I  cannot  say,  but  I  have  yet  the 
length  stated  wound  on  a  wooden  lath  and  as  good  as 
ever  and  capable  of  lifting  any  brook  trout  I  have 
lately  seen  Certainly  a  five-pound  trout  would  not 
break  it  by  any  fair  means. 

Spanish  gut  is  usually  imported  whole,  but  the 
finest  gut  is  what  is  known  as  "drawn"  through  steel 
plates  pierced  with  holes  of  the  required  diameter. 
The  Japanese  gut  in  my  possession  does  not  need 
this,  but  the  Spanish  does,  and  the  English  dry-fly 
angler  needs  the  very  finest  gossamer  leader  in  his 
business.  This  "drawn"  gut  is  not  much  used  in  the 
United  States  where  the  more  rapidly  flowing  waters 
for  the  most  part  preclude  the  "dry"  or  "floating- 
fly"  form  of  fishing. 

Gut  is  often  tinted  or  stained  to  render  it  less, 
visible  in  the  water.  Its  natural  white  brilliancy  is 
too  apparent  on  a  sunny  day.  In  order  to  disguise 
this  there  are  several  excellent  recipes  known  to 
the  expert  leader-maker  and  fly-tier  and  I  give  the 
following  as  the  most  perfect  and  innocuous  of  their 
kind: 

(1)  Mist  color:  Handful  logwood  chips,  quart  soft 
boiling  water,  copperas  size  of  small  nut.  Immerse 
for  10  minutes  and  dry  slowly  in  open  air.  This 
rather  strengthens  than  weakens  the  gut.  (2)  Light 
brown  may  be  dyed  without  injury  to  the  gut  by 
steeping  in  strong  coffee  infusion  about  2T.  minutes. 
This  dye  is  very  useful  for  gut  to  be  used  on  streams 
having  a  brownish  tint  from  much  pine  branch  col- 
oration. (3)  A  blue  tint  is  obtained  from  the  In- 
fusion of  a  few  grains  of  gum  logwood  and  a  few 
grains  of  sulphate  of  iron,  watching  the  depth  of 
color  and  when  blue  enough  immerse  the  gut  in 
clear -water.  (4)  Another  fine  sky  color  is  ob- 
tained by  infusing  a  teaspoonful  of  ground  logwood, 
a  pinch  of  carbonate  of  soda  and  piece  of  copperas 
the  size  of  a  coffee  bean.     This  is  the  recipe  of  the 


famous  David  Foster  of  Dovedale,  England,  Derby- 
shire, whose  skill  was  Waltonian,  amongst  the  trout 
of  the  Dove   river. 

The  strengthening  and  preservation  of  gut  is 
easily  accomplished  and  should  be  done  when  the  gut 
is  sufficiently  valuable  to  warrant  the  process  as  in 
the  case  of  salmon  leaders  of  long  and  thick  gut 
The  following  recipe  has  been  used  by  ?n  accom- 
plished and  scientific  angler  for  this  purpose:  One 
ounce  of  one  part  chromic  acid  and  five  parts  of 
water  to  five  ounces  of  pure  glycerine.  Steep  the 
gut  for  10  days  and  then  submerge  in  one  part  of 
carbolic  acid  and  five  parts  glycerine,  preserving  It 
in  this  solution  until  required  for  use.  Gut  can  be 
kept  from  one  season  to  another  in  this  way  with- 
out change  of  color  and  with  added  strength,  where- 
as if  it  were  laid  aside  in  a  dry  place  or  exposed  to 
the  dust  and  air,  in  a  few  months  it  would  become 
brittle  and  useless. 

The  selection  of  the  right  gut  and  the  right  tying 
of  the  strands  constitutes  an  art  in  which  there  are 
very  few  experts.  Yet  the  modus-operandi  is  simple 
and  only  requires  the  proper  temperament  for  suc- 
cess. In  the  first  place,  a  fine  quality  of  gut  is  in- 
dispensable for  both  trout  and  salmon  leaders  and 
the  magnifying  glass  must  be  used  to  determine  and 
reject  any  flawed  strands  or  flat  or  irregular  appear- 
ing ones,  no  matter  how  insignificant  the  blemish  may 
seem  to  be. 

Having  selected  the  proper  material  it  should  be 
softened  in  soft  water  (filtered  rain  water  for 
choice)  and  allowed  to  remain  over  night.  A  damp 
flannel  should  be  spread  before  the  tier  so  that  no 
wet  strands  may  dry  in  the  process  of  tying.  It  is 
essential  that  the  gut  should  be  flexible  and  easily 
bent.  The  next  process  is  the  knot  and  this  is  a 
difficult  task  to  teach  in  writing,  but  if  the  reader 
carefully  follows  directions  he  will  not  fail  to  get  the 
correct  idea.  To  begin  the  leader  a  loop  of  the  ordi- 
nary kind  is  tied  in  one  end  of  the  first  strand.  There 
is  no  complication  in  this  knot.  It  is  a  simple  loop 
passed  round  and  pulled  through  and  drawn  tight. 
The  other  end  of  the  strand  is  formed  into  two  half- 
hitches  and  held  between  the  finger  and  thumb  of  the 
left  hand.  With  the  right  finger  and  thumb  the  end 
of  another  strand  is  passed  through  the  two  half- 
hitches  and  two  half-hitches  are  to  be  taken  round 
the  straight  strand  above  the  other  two  hitches.  The 
four  hitches  are  then  drawn  tight  by  means  of  the 
two  straight  lengths  of  gut,  so  that  they  lie  together 
superimposed.  This  knot  is  the  strongest  knot  pos- 
sible for  gut,  as  it  does  not  permit  slipping  and  is 
susceptible  of  being  cut  close,  so  that  it  is  neat  and 
secure  at  all  times.  Another  joining  knot  is  made 
by  taking  the  two  ends  of  two  gut  strands  and  laying 
them  side  by  side,  turning  them  round  into  a  circu- 
lar loop  and  passing  the  free  two  ends  through  the 
loop,  pulling  the  two  strands  tight  and  snipping  off 
the  short  ends.  I  prefer,  however,  the  double-hitch 
knot  to  every  other  one  that  is  used.  Of  course, 
snells  are  looped  in  the  same  way  as  the  leader,  and 
when  reinforced  so  as  to  be  double  near  the  shank 
of  the  snelled  hook,  it  is  only  necessary  to  tie  a  long 
loop  and  cut  through  the  end  of  this  loop,  tying  in 
the  two  ends  on  the  shank  with  waxed  thread.

"THEM    BORSABONE    DORGS." 

The  following  reminiscence  by  Captain  Thos.  L. 
Merry  will  be  interesting  to  the  lover  of  a  good  rod 
and  reliable  duck  dog.  Charles  Murphy,  of  Newark, 
conceived  the  idea  of  making  a  split  bamboo  rod  after 
seeing  the  "made  masts"  f  a  California  clipper  ship. 
Incidentally  we  might  mention  that  Murphy  was 
probably  the  introducer  and  maker  of  the  trunk  rod 
or  "Sabbath  breaker,"  but,  however,  that  is  another 
story  and  we  will  let  the  captain  tell  the  present 
one: 

"I  was  born  in  New  York  in  1834  and  lived  there  till 
1S43  when,  my  father  being  four  years  dead,  my 
mother  and  I  went  to  live  with  my  uncle  who  lived 
on  Staten  Island.  My  mother  re-married  in  1S46  and 
we  lived  in  New  York  till  May,  1849,  when  we  took  up 
our  residence  in  Newark.  N.  J.  Before  leaving  New 
York  I  was  in  very  poor  health  and  my  mother  took 
me  to  Dr.  Edward  Delafield,  one  of  the  most  eminent 
physicians  in  the  metropolis.  He  gave  me  three  sep- 
arate examinations  and  then  said:  "Take  this  boy 
out  in  the  country  and  give  him  a  shotgun  and  a  fish- 
ing rod.  Let  him  get  out  of  it  all  the  fun  there,  is  in 
life  for  he  will  never  live  to  see  twenty-two  years." 

I  thought  of  this  at  fifty  .again  at  sixty  and,  you 
may  rest  assured  when  I  reached  the  patriarch's  age 
of  three  score  and  ten.  This  may  explain  to  some  of 
my  less  intimate  friends  why  I  grew  up  an  unclassed 
man,  having  no  profession  above  that  of  swift-water 
steamboat  pilot. 

On  reaching  Newark  I  went  to  school  one  year,  my 
Gamaliel  being  a  sturdy  little  Irishman  named 
Bearnard  Kearny,  who  was  a  good  teacher  of  pen- 
manship but  not  much  of  an  instructor  at  anything 
else.  One  of  my  schoolmates  was  the  late  Michael 
Corrigan,  Archbishop  of  New  York.  Even  that  year 
of  school  was  too  much  for  my  restless  spirit.  In 
those  days  there  were  no  silk  manufacturers  on  the 
Passaic  River  and  the  water  was  clear  ;is  crystal  from 
Belleville  up  to  Paterson,  and  there  it  was  I  caught 
my  first  striped  bass,  while  Daniel  Webster  and  Henry 
W.  Herbert  (Frank  Forrester)  sat  in  a  boat  not  forty 
yards  away  and  watched  mc  land  the  first  .a  glorious 
six-pounder,  caught  with  a  bait  of  "shedder"  crab. 

Down  on  the  brackish  meadows,  overflowed  ever 
since  the  bursting  of  the  Maple  Island  dam,  was  a 
patch  called  the  "Scalded  Meadows"  where  no  gras^ 
ever  grew,  but  it  was  sprinkled  all  over  with  little 
hassocks;  and  among  these  in  the  spring  and  fall 
seasons,  you  were  good  for  a  dozen  'English"  snipe, 
almost  any  day  of  overcast  weather.  In  August  and 
September  these   meadows    afforded    food   and   shelter

Charley  Murphj    -  rd.     On  reaching  the  city  he 

asked   where  1   was  going  and   I  told  him  1  was   going 
down  aboard  the  new  ship  Simon  Morton,  of  which  my 
cousin  (William  L.  Merry,  now  United  States  minister 
r.     The  ship  was  load- 
ing for  San  Francisco    under  the  command  of  Capt. 
Hepburn.      While    looking   about    the    docks    Murphy  s

do  with  a  saw  and  plane.     He  was  neat  in  everything. 
T  hev  got  an  idee,  Tom."  he  said  slowly. 
■Take  It  on  to  Washington  and  give  it  to  the  United 
Stati  -    S  They  need  it."  I  growled. 

•■Never    you    mind."    replied    Charley.    "I    can    take- 
some    lancewood    and    cut    into    fine    strip;    like    that 
-t   and  make  a  pole  that  will  hold  a  twenty-pound 
bass    easier    than    that    pole    of    yours    will    hold    one 
weighing  five."  .    . 

The  split  banboo  rod  soon  followed  the  original 
lancewood  rod  made  by  Charley,  which  he  presented 
to  Henry  Corey.  Murphy  had  tested  materials  with 
weights  and  found  that  bamboo  had  greater  tensile 
strength  than  greenheart  which  proved  itself  superior 
to  lancewood.  He  was  the  real  inventor  of  the  pres- 
tly-rod,  though  he  never  turned  out  as  good  work 
as  Fowler,  Devine  or  Nichols,  of  Boston,  they  being 
just  as  far  ahead  of  Orvis,  Conroy  and  a  dozen 
other  rodmakers.  But.  the  reader  will  ask.  what  has 
all  this  piscatorial  pronounciamento  to  do  with  the 
caption  of  this  article? 

Summer  had  come  and  gene,  for  the  year  was  m  its 
sheaf.  The  "flicker"  tapped  steadily  away  at  his 
winter  mast  of  acorns  that  he  had  driven  into  the 
trunk  of  some  old  .dead  oak.  The  squirrel  barked 
merrily  on  the  limb  of  the  hickory  tree  that  was  fur- 
nishing him  with  his  fodder  for  the  next  six  months. 
And.  in  the  language  of  that  most  gifted  of  Pennsyl- 
vania's most  gifted  sons:

Long  streaming  files  of  ducks  came  in  triangular 
phalanxes  from  the  frozen  fens  of  Labrador,  as  with 
mighty  but  weary  pinions,  they  fanned  the  thin  and 
frostv  air  aloft.  I  had  shot  martins,  willets,  dowitchers 
and  yellowlegs  by  the  dozen  but  I  had  yet  to  kill  my 
first  'wild  duck.  Meeting  Murphy  on  the  street  one 
night,  he  told  me  to  come  up  to  his  house  and  see  what 
a  nice  lot  of  "stools"  he  was  making  for  the  approach- 
ing duck  season.  He  had  flushed  two  of  them  and 
had  just  begun  to  paint  them  as  I  entered  his  little 
workshop.  Npw  as  I  stood  admiring  them  a  low- 
growl  came  from  under  the  workbench  and  Murphy 
called  out 

"Be  quiet.  Wayne,  go  back  and  lay  down." 
"No,  bring  him  out  and  let  me  look  at  him.     Is  he 
a  Setter  or  a  Pointer. 

-    "He's  neither  one  and  yet  a  little  of  both."  replied 
Charley.    "He's  a  Borsabone  dorg." 
"A   wh-a-a-at?"   I  gas-    d. 

•  He's    jist    as    I    tell    ye.      He's    a    Borsabone    dorg. 

i  bj    Mr.  Borsabone.  an  old  Frenchman  that  lives 

up   as   ye    go   from    Morristown    to    Madison.      They're 

mongrels  but  the  finest  duck  dorgs  that  ever  ye  saw." 

replied  Charley. 

"Wayne"  now  came  out  and  Charley  made  him 
walk  up  and  -shake  hands"  with  me.  He  was  a 
.  1  dog  and  very  curly  in  his  coat. 
Murphy  had  given  $10  for  him  as  a  pup  and  named 
him  after  old  "Mad  Anthony."  He  became  fast  friends 
with  .me  after  a  few  minutes.  After  two  days'  shoot- 
ing over  him  I  got  so  in  love  with  "Wayne"  that  I 
t  those  dogs  for  myself.  So  one 
flay    i    borrowi  I    Henry    Corey's    buggy    and    went    in

AS   TO   AMERICAN    BRED    DOGS. 


THE    HUNTING    SEASON    IS    OF    GOOD    PROMISE. 


The  salt  marsh  districts  last  Sunday  morning  early 
echoed  and  re-echoed  with  a  popping  of  the  duck 
hunters'  guns  that  rapidly  developed  into  a  general 
fusilade  that  was  not  unlike  the  lively  skir- 
mishes that  are  the  prelude  of  a  great  battle.  On 
every  shooting  ground  in  the  bay  counties  marsh  sec- 
tions the  hunters  were  never  more  numerous  on  the 
opening  day  of  the  hunting  season.  So  closely  bunched 
were  the  shooters  in  some  sections  of  the  Alameda 
marshes  that  hunters  had  posted  themselves  along 
the  banks  of  sloughs  not  more  than  100  yards  apart. 
In  that  district  alone  it  is  estimated  that  there  was  at 
least  1'500  men  and  boys  out  with  their  guns. 

i\or  were  they  less  numerous  in  the  Sonoma  and 
Petaluma  marshes.  The  down  train  to  this  city  on 
Sunday  night  on  the  Sonoma  branch  of  the  Califor- 
nia Northwestern  road  consisted  of  ten  cars  filled 
with  returning  duck  and  quail  hunters.  So  was  it 
with  all  incoming  trains  that  connected  with  ferry 
boats  for  this  city;  each  train  and  boat  had  its 
quota  of  returning  huntsmen. 

Results  generally  were  good,  bad  or  indifferent  ac- 
cording to  localities.  Weather  conditions  were  excel- 
lent, particularly  so  on  the  Suisun  marsh  hunting 
ground.  A  fairly  strong  westerly-  wind  Saturday 
night  developed  into  a  just  strong,  enough  northwest 
wind  on  Sunday  morn.ng  This  with  a  suspicious 
flavoring  of  a  lower  temperature  in  the  atmosphere  in 
the  morning  made  practically-  an  ideal  California  duck 
shooting  morning — or  duck  hunting  morning  as  you 
like.  The  majority  of  the  gunmen  in  that  section 
were  stationed  in  blinds  over  baited  ponds  and  did 
not  hunt  or  "work"  the  marsh  for  birds.  However, 
working  a  tale  marsh  in  the  Susan  is  almost  an  im- 
possibility and  pond  shooting  is  the  only  practical  way 
of  getting  results  in  one  of  the  finest  duck  shooting 
sections — that  is  contiguous  to  a  metropol  s — in  the 
world.  Members  of  the  Field  and  Tule,  Ibis,  Teal, 
Cordelia  and  Family  Gun  Clubs,  at  Herman  Oelrichs' 
shooting  box.  and  other  well  known  shooting  resorts 
got  many  limit  bags. 

On  Joyce  Island,  further  north,  good  shooting  was 
the  order  of  the  day.  In  the  Collinsville  section  the 
sportsmen  had  excellent  shooting.  Many  of  the  gun 
club  members  who  shot  north  of  Collinsv.lle  staid  over 
until  Monday  evening,  the  sport  being  of  an  alluring 
character. 

On  the  Sonoma  and  Petaluma  marshes  a  lack  of 
water  in  the  ponds  cut  the  shooting  down  corre- 
spondingly. 

At  the  "bridges"  near  Alviso  many  limit  bags  were 
made  by  shooters  from  this  city  and  San  Jose.  At 
Mt.  Eden.  Alvarado  and  other  places  on  the  East 
side  good  bags  were  too  numerous  to  allow  of  indi- 
vidual   enumeration. 

The  Empire  Gun  Club  members  were  at  the  Elk- 
horn  slough  preserves  in  force  and  had  a  splendid 
opening  day   shoot. 

A  noticeable  feature  among  the  returning  shooters 
was  the  number  of  Japanese  gunners  who  had  been 
out  in  marsh  and  field  The  6:10  boat  that  connected 
with  the  narrow  gatige  train  from  the  east  side 
brought  over  about  forty  "John  Keeners."  Many  of 
them  were  rigged  out  in  the  latest  styles  of  khaki 
hunting  suits.  It  was  evident  from  the  game  they 
brought  in  that  everything  with  feathers  on  was  fair 
game.  One  pudgy  little  brown  man  proudly  carried 
a  seagull  up  Market  street,  others  had  rail,  "spaterias," 
mudhens,  shore  birds  and  a  miscellaneous  assortment 
of  other  birds. 

Quail  hunters  had  but  fair  sport,  few  limit  bags  be- 
ing reported.  Weather  conditions  for  a  week  previous 
were  too  warm  for  good  sport,  the  ground  was  dry  and 
dusty,  making  it  hard  tramping  for  the  hunter  and 
arduous  work  for  the  dogs. 

The  outlook  for  the  season,  for  both  duck  and  quail 
hunting,  is,  on  the  whole,  better  than  for  many  sea- 
sons  past. 


San  Antone  Creek — Notwithstanding  the  poor  luck 
■f  a  number  of  good  fishermen  at  this  striped  bass 
wetter  recently,  the  fact  that  the  fish  are  there  is 
patent.  Mr.  Bliss  landed  an  18  pounder  about  two 
weeks  ago  A.  M.  Cumming  and  Mr.  Church  landed 
l-sh  list  Friday  and  Saturday,  some  with 
the  troll  ng  spoon  and  some  with  clam  baits.  Mr. 
Church  honked  the  largest  lish.  one  that  weighed  1SU, 
pounds.  Last  Sunday  quite  a  number  of  anglers 
ere  on  the  slough,  but  with  the  exception  of  several 
resultless   strike,    the   day's   sport   was   barren. 

Saturday    ->    lii    pound    bass   and   the    Sunday 
e-     an     P     pound     bass     were     caught     by     Mr. 
le.     ashed    in    Shell    slough,    on    the    Napa 
marsh    side. 

Striped  Bass  at  Eckley — Recent  reports  from  Eck- 
ley  Station,  Contra  Costa  county,  are  to  the  effect 
ii.  it  th-  Striped  bass  are  still  plentiful  in  the  straits 
and  good  catches  of  fish  from  three  to  fifteen  pounds 
weight   have  been  made. 

Eckley  station  is  about  a  mile  east  of  Crockett  on 
the  S.  P.  road.

The  Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  San  Francisco. 
Dear  Sir — In  a  recent  issue  of  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man you  mention  the  case  of  Mr.  Lett's  Collies.  Since 
your  article  appeared  I  asked  for  a  ruling  on  the 
question  of  American  bred  dogs  and  have  just  been 
informed  that  these  Collies  are  not  American  bred. 
The  letter  says:  "The  quest.on  has  been  definitely 
decided  by  the  A.  K  C.  An  official  ruling  has  beer, 
promulgated  by  the  Rules  Committee." 

We  may  assume  that  such  an  important  thing  as 
a  ruling  by  the  Rules  Committee  would  be  given  pun-J 
licity  in  the  Gazette,  yet  I  have  been  unable  to  find! 
anyone  who  knows  anything  about  any  such  ruling 
being  mentioned  in   the  Gazette. 

Presumbaly  the  rules  of  the  A.  K.  C.  are  published.! 
in  dog  show  premium  lists  for  the  information  ofj 
exhibitors,  yet  in  no  place  in  the  rules  does  it  specify 
what  an  American  bred  dog  is. 

Rule  S  tells  us  that  a  bitch  sent  abroad  to  be  bred 
and  returned  to  this  country  to  whelp  shall  have  bei 
progeny  "considered"  as  American  bred.  That  is  a 
ruling  on  a  certain  specific  case  and  does  not  covet 
the  question  of  American  bred.  If  th.s  is  so,  thea 
no  other  dog  can  be  American  bred,  which  is  absurd 
as  what  then  is  the  nationality  of  the  thousands 
of  dogs  whelped  yearly  in  this  country? 

An  exhibitor  cannot  guess  at  the  meaning  attached 
to  a  rule  by  the  Rules  Committee.  Rules  should  be 
sufficiently  plain  so  that  even  the  utmost  novice  ir 
dogdom  can  understand  them. 

That  someth.ng  is  radically  w-rong  in  this  rule  oi 
in  the  method  of  recording  wins  at  22  Liberty  street 
is  also  shown  by  this  case. 

The  Collie  "Clinker  of  Holmby"  won  first  novice 
Los  Angeles  and  was  given  credit  by  the  A  K.  CII 
for  such  win  in  the  records.  The  dog  is  now  decideci'i 
not  to  be  American  bred  and  therefore  his  w-.n  all 
Los  Angeles  should  not  have  become  a  matter  o! 
record  but  should  have  been  cancelled  by  the  secretar} II 
of  the  A.  K.  C.  just  as  any  other  win  made  by  a  doji 
not  eligible  to  the  class. 

Apparently  while  we  are  told  that  the  A.  K.  C.  hac 
decided  this  question  of  American  bred   dogs,  it  haill 
never  before  found  it  necessary  to  make  a  new-  rulcl 
so   that   its  secretary  might  know   the  nationality  ol 
a  dog  from  the  entry. 

The  follow-ing  is  a  notice  sent  out  to  clubs  t 
week:  "Kindly  note  for  future  use  that  entries 
the  noivce  class  must  give  the  breeder,  sire  and  d; 
which  details  are  necessary  to  show  that  the  en'ce 
are  American-bred  and  entitled  to  compete  in  tl._ 
class."  Now  how's  that  for  a  rule?  Just  read  it  ovei 
carefully  again  and  then  tell  me  how  such  a  rule  cat 
help  the  secretary  of  the  A.  K.  C  or  anyone  elseH 
tell  the  nationality  of  the  entry.  Just  imagine  till'' 
following  entry: 

Collies — Novice  dogs— John  Thompson,  Scotch  Mist! 
Id.    April    1st,    1S04.      Breeder.    John    Buchanan. 
H-ghland — Nectar — black  and   white. 

Now    is    that    dog   American    or    not?      No    woi 
Rule  S   is  vague  and  indistinct  in  its  meaning  wi 
such  a  rule  as  the  above  is  sent  out  in  sober  ea: 
by  the  same  committee. 

If  the  Rules  Committee  will   only  re-write  Ru 
so  that  exhibitors  will  know  what  an  American 
dog  is  and   then  make  it  obligatory  on  an   exhibl 
to  state  on  the  entry  blank  w-hether  his  dog  is  A: 
ican   bred   or  not,   the   committee  will   save   not 
the  secretary  of  the  A.  K.   C.  from  guess  work 
exhibitors  from   annoyance,   but  also  w-ill  save  o 
worked  club  officials  much  toil  w-hen  the  judgin; 
special   prizes   commences. 

For  the  convenience  of  your  readers  I  publish  th 
following,    which    is   the    only   information    given   oulj 
by  the  A  K.  C.  on  American  bred  dogs: 

1.  American-bred    dogs.     NONE. 

2.  "Considered"  American-bred  dogs— The  folloi 
ing:  A  bitch  sent  to  Europe  to  be  bred,  bred  ther 
and  returned  to  whelp  in  this  country.  Bitch  to  b 
property  of  American  citizen.  The  progeny  of  such 
bitch    to    be    "considered"    American-bred. 

3.  NOT  American-bred  dogs— The  following: 
bitch,  sister  to  bitch  in  No.  2.  is  bought  in  Europ 
by  an  American  citizen.  After  he  becomes  the  owne 
he  causes  her  to  be  bred  to  the  same  dog  as  wa 
her  sister  in  No.  2  The  bitch  is  then  sent  to  America 
whelps  here,  and  the  resulting  puppies  are  not  eve; 
"considered"   American-bred. 

The    difference,    therefore,    between      an      Americt 
bred  and  a  foreign  bred  dog  is  according  to  the  presen 
rules  of  the  A.   K.   C.   a  journey  across  the  Atll 
and  back. 

Now.  Mr.  Editor,  "bred"  means  begot,  and  as 
litters  of  puppies  are  begot  in  Europe,  they  are  Euro 
pean  bred  and  only  American  born.  Won't  you  as 
the  Rules  Committee  for  we  poor  exhibitors  to  giv 
us  a  straight  American  bred  dog.  without  any  "col 
sider"  in  its  make  up.  Just  a  plain  American  bre 
and  a  foreign  bred,  with  a  definition  of  each  whicj 
even  an  old   exhibitor  can   understand? 

Yours  obediently,  NORMAN  J.  STEWART. 

San  Jose,   October   18th.   1905 

The  American  Kennel  Club,  of  course,  is  the  govj 
erning  body  for  American  dogdom.  notwithstanding 
the  ruling  on  the  case  above  referred  to.  we  are  sti] 
inclined  to  believe  that,  as  so  far  as  the  spirit 
the  rule  concerned,  the  Collies  should  be  accepted 
American  bred,  for  they  were  so  to  all  intents  and  pui 
poses.  , 

In  the  event  that  the  A.  K.  C.  does  not  feel  incline 
to  be  specific  in  details  in  this  respect,  we  make  tl 
further  suggestion  that  the  status  be  defined,  of  dos 
imported    in    utero.

CEMENT   FLOORS   FOR  STABLES. 

A  cement  floor  is  made  in  the  same 
way    cement    sidewalks    are    laid.      A 

many    farmers    who    have    been 

writing  the  writer  seem   to  think  that 

in  preparing  to  lay  cement  feeding  or 

should  dig  below  frost 

Ml  with  broken  rock,  gi 

S    to    make   a    Arm    foundation 

upon  which  the  floor  should  rest. 

This  is  o  need 
labor.  Simply  level  the  ground,  or  it" 
you  desire  to  have  the  surface  of  the 
floor  level  with  the  surrounding  ground 
you  should  dig  four  or  five  .inches  deep. 
Hoard's  Dairyman  gives  the  plan  for 
preparing  the  cement  as  follows: 

Use  any  standard  brand  of  cement, 
and  to  one  part  of  cement  add  seven 
parts  of  gravel,  made  up  of  good. 
nd  and  pebbles  up  to 
two  Indies  in  diameter.  Spread  the 
gravel  on  a  platform  to  an  oven  depth 
of  a  few  inches,  and  upon  this  spread 
the  cement  evenly  with  shovels.  Then 
work  the  cement  thoroughly  into  the 
gravel  by  turning  the  two  together  sev- 
eral times,  until  the  whole  is  a  uni- 
form color.  To  this  mixture  add  enough 
water  to  make  it  easily  handled  and 
so  it  will  quake  under  the  tamper  and 
the  water  flush  to  the  surface  when 
tamping  is  complete. 

Do  not  wet  the  mixture  until  ready 
to  use  it.  and  the  suggestion  is  made 
to  have  it  in  place  and  tamped  in  one 
hour  after  wetting  The  mixture  must 
be  turned  several  times  after  the  water 
is  added  to  make  it  evenly  wet. 

The  concrete  is  put  in  place  in  sec- 
tions, five  inches  deep  and  six  feet 
wide,  crossways  of  the  stable  floor. 
Commencing  at  one  end,  place  a  board 
five  inches  high,  six  feet  from  the  end. 
and  fill  the  sections  to  the  full  depth 
as  you  go  along.  When  one  section  is 
filled  and  thoroughly  tamped  until  it 
quakes,  move  your  board  ahead  six 
feet  and  fill  in  the  fresh  space.  Sec- 
tions may  be  less  than  six  feet  wide, 
but  should  not  be  more. 

When  the  concrete  is  in  place  and  is 
still  green  you  are  ready  to  put  on  the 
skim  coat.  This  is  made  up  of  sand 
and  cement  in  the  proportion  of  two 
sand  to  one  cement,  mixed  to  a  good, 
even  mortar,  spread  on  with  plasterer's 
trowel  to  the  depth  of  one  inch  and 
finish  smooth  like  a  cement  sidewalk. 
Make  no  effort  to  give  the  concrete  a 
smooth  finish,  for  the  cement  coat  gets 
a  much  better  bond  on  a  rough  surface. 

A  good  way  to  roughen  the  surface 
for  the  skim  coat  is  to  walk  around 
on  your  heels  while  the  concrete  is 
being  tamped  into  place,  but  on  no 
account  disturb  it  after  setting  has 
begun,  or  you  will  spoil  it  by  prevent- 
ing further  setting.  In  putting  on 
skim  coat  use  a  one  inch  strip  and 
apply  mortar  as  thick  as  the  strip. 

After  the  skim  coat  is  on  and 
smoothed  down  it  must  be  roughened 
to  prevent  stock  from  slipping.  This 
is  done  as  follows: 

To  a  piece  of  six  inch  planed  board, 
one  foot  long,  fasten  with  small  fin- 
ishing nails  triangular  shaped  strips 
as  long  as  the  width  of  the  board,  one- 
fourth  of  an  inch  deep,  and  one-fourth 
of  an  inch  wide  at  the  base,  spacing 
them  about  two  inches  apart  At  one 
edge  of  the  board  the  strips  are  beveled 
off  at  a  good  angle  so  they  will  not 
catch   the   cement   when    the   corruga- 


tions are  made. 

When  the  "corrugator"  is  made  and 
drawn  across  the  freshly-troweled  sur- 
coat  the  strips  will  cut  ditches 
one-fourth  of  an  inch  deep  and  one- 
fourth  of  an  inch  wide  at  the  top. 
which  will  make  a  surface  sufficiently 
rough  to  prevent  the  floor  from  being 
at  all  slippery. 


SUCCESSFUL    WOOL    SALE. 

The  first  wool  sale  held  in  the  town 
of  Wheatland  was  a  complete  success, 
and  practically  all  the  wool  offered  was 
disposed  of  at  fair  figures  for  fall  clip, 
says   the   "Four   Corners." 

The  sale  was  conducted  at  the  C.  K. 
Dam  warehouse,  and  to  Mr.  Dam's  ef- 
forts is  largely  due  the  complete  suc- 
cess of  the  first  Wheatland  wool  sale. 
His  experience  heretofore  stood  him  in 
f  good  stead  and  matters  were  so  ar- 
ranged that  it  was  a  simple  task  for 
buyer  and  seller  to  reach  an  under- 
standing quickly.  In  this  manner  the 
sale  was  conducted  without  a  hitch,  ana 
and  was  satisfactory  to  all  concerned. 

In  all  350  bales  were  represented  and 
we  give  below  the  transactions: 

Eight  bales,  C.  K  Dam,  sold  for  16 
cents   to  Rosenberg.

A  SHORT  CUT  IN  BUTTER  MAKING 


"While  in   Ontario  last  winter  in  at- 
tendance at  the  dairy  conventions,  Pro- 
fessor H.  H.  Dean  announced  a  "short 
cut"    in    butter    making-    which    prom- 
ised much  in  economy  of  time  and  la- 
bor,   and   indicated   better   results   and 
finer   flavor;    but  time   was  wanted  to 
test   out  the   market   side   of   the   new 
experiment.      It   was   in   brief,   to   take 
the  sweet  cream  from  the  separator  at 
about  3   per  cent  fat,  cool   it  down  to 
about   50    degrees   immediately,   put  it 
into   the   churn,   then   add   the   starter. 
and    churn    at    once.      John    Gould,    in 
Ohio    Farmer,"    says   there   is   no   diffi- 
culty in  churning1  sweet  cream,  if  it  is 
about    3:,'    per    cent    fat,    and    the   tem- 
perature is  down  to  about  52  degrees, 
and    the   granulation   is   about   perfect. 
and  its  churning  is  quite-  as  exhaustive, 
as  with   very  ripe  cream.     It  has  been 
market      taste      that      lias      pronounced 
against      sweet     cream     butter.       Now 
M      eight     months'     market     verdict 
has   been   given   to   the   new   plan,  and 
it  Is  very  pronounced   in   its  favor,  so 
much  so   that  the  Montreal  market  is 
premi    n    of  %  cent  over  mar- 
ket   price   for   it.     For  six  months  the 
et    cream    butter    were 
ly    higher    than    Die    ripened 
cream    butter.      In    storage    the    sweet 
n    butter  lost   3.3   points,   and   the 
am  butter  7  8   points. 
When   the  butter  is  taken   from  the 
churn,    it    has    the   sweet   cream   flavor, 
ours  afterwards  it  has  taken 
on  the  i j < i- ■.  delicate  aroma  that  is  de- 

t  tlmi     i ;s    that   it   retains 

it  mm  ■  i  condit  ions  sim- 

ilar   to     lit.--    ripened    cream    butter    it 
'.    and    9S    points. 
It    :  the    j  -Id   of 

.  tter  Is  slightly  more 

than   th<  [j   may  be  due  to 


slightly  higher  moisture  content.  It 
was  also  found  that  the  high  qual- 
ity of  this  butter  was  better  main- 
tained at  a  high  score  by  pasteur:zing 
the  milk,  which  was  as  applicable  to 
the  ripened  cream  butter.  In  this 
there  was  a  great  gain.  The  labor  and 
attention  to  holding  vats  of  cream  and 
maintaining  temperature  for  24  hours 
or  longer  and  care  of  the  tanks,  were 
wholly  dispensed  with,  and  the  lia- 
bility of  the  culture  going  wrong  in  the 
time  does  not  enter.  It  was  also  no- 
ticed that  butter  made  early  in  May 
was  taken  out  of  storage  early  in 
June  with  its  score  up  one  point,  a 
thing  never  known  in  ripe  cream  but- 
ter; in  fact  the  experts  scored  the  lat- 
ter as  having  an  indicated  fishy  fla- 
vor. 

This  is  a  matter  worth  the  atten- 
tion of  the  creamery  owners  on  this 
side  of  the  Canadian  line,  and  if  it  is 
a  fact,  save  the  labor  and  the  watch- 
ing of  the  cream  vats  at  least.  The 
particular  thing  in  this  new  method  is 
in  knowing  that  the  cultures  are  true 
and  kept  pure  and  ascertain  to  a  cer- 
tainty the  amount  to  use.  Of  course 
th:s  new  plan  does  not  apply  to  cream- 
ery establishments  that  use  gathered 
cream  from  a  thousand  or  so  patrons, 
for  this  cream  is  as  a  rule  actively 
ripe  when  received  and  often  "wants  a 
neutralizer  instead  of  a  starter,  a 
matter  indicated  by  the  mixed  quali- 
ties of  general  market  butter,  even  if 
Elgin  is  stenciled  on  the  tub  head. —

SHEEP  KING  OF  THE  WORLD. 


Ruler  over  a  territory  of  1200  square 
miles,  with  a  frontage  of  270  miles  of 
windswept  sea  coast,  G.  L.  Waldron, 
the  sheep  king  of  the  world,  now  in 
this  country  from  Patagonia  to  study 
the  meat  packing  industry,  has  arrived 
in  Los  Angeles. 

Mr.  "Waldron,  in  addition  to  supervis- 
ing his  little  kingdom,  portions  of 
which  he  does  not  see  oftener  than 
once  In  three  years,  also  has  two  pack- 
ing houses,  employing  500  men  and 
having  an  annual  capacity  of  70,000 
sheep,  the  size  of  each  year's  slaugh- 
ter. 

The  great  ranch  is  situated  on  the 
tapering  point  of  the  Southern  Con- 
tinent, runs  along  the  coast  of  Argen- 
tina to  face  the  Atlantic,  borders  the 
Straits  of  Magellan  and  on  the  Pa- 
cific- includes  a  portion  of  Chile. 

In  addition,  most  of  the  island  of 
Tierra  del  Fuego,  with  40,000  acres  of 
the  Falkland  Islands,  is  under  the  con- 
trol of  this  man.  He  is  manager  and 
largest  owner  in  the  Patagonia  Sheep 
Raising  Co.,  upon  whose  preserves 
three-quarters  of  a  million  sheep  feed, 
and  whose  output  of  wool  is  1,500,000 
pounds  annually. 

In  all  the  wide  stretch  of  territory 
there  is  not  a  city,  but  seven  stations 
mark  the  places  where  once  in  thre*1 
months  the  herders  congregate. 

During  the  Boer  war  this  company 
supplied  the  English  army  with  its 
fresh  meats.  At  the  present  time  the 
cold  storage  method  of  preserving 
meats  has  been  done  away  with  and 
the  company  is  now  putting  up  its 
mutton  in  tins,  to  be  sold  in  all  parts 
of  the   civilized  world. 

Mr.  Waldron  is  on  a  tour  of  the 
world,  having  already  visited  England, 
Africa,    India   and   Japan. 

From  Los  Angeles  he  goes  to  the 
Grand  Canyon  and  from  there  to  Chi- 
cago to  study  the  methods  of  the  great 
packing  houses. 


IMPROVING    OLEO    WITH    COW 
HAIRS. 


Concerning  the  mixing  of  cow  hairs 
In  oleomargarine  for  the  purpose  of 
deluding  customers,  John  St.  John, 
an  Omaha  creameryman,  is  ready  to 
swear  that  this  unholy  deception  has 
been  practiced  before  his  very  eyes. 
'I   have   long   regarded   the   old   butter 


story  as  a  joke,"  he  said,  "until  I  vis- 
ited an  oleo  factory  recently.  In  some 
states  manufacturers  take  particular 
pride  in  making  the  deception  com- 3 
plete.  There  was  a  large  amount  of 
oleo,  colored  a  rich  yellow,  ready  toi 
make  into  prints.  The  man  operating 
the  print  machine  went  to  a  bench  and 
brought  over  a  small  box  with  a  slid- 
ing cover.'  When  he  began  to  make 
the  prints,  he  opened  the  box  and  took 
from  it  and  placed  in  every  piece  of 
butter  before  it  was  pressed  into  shape 
two  or  three  white  hairs.  They  were* 
fine  and  white,  and  I  stepped  over  and 
looked  at  them.  There  was  a  whole 
box  of  the  hairs,  laid  in  as  straight  as 
if  they  were  toothpicks.  They  resem- 
bled cow  hair  although  I  do  not  know 
whether  even  they  were  genuine  or 
not  They  looked  too  white  and  long 
and  straight,  but  the  oleo  maker  was 
putting  hair  into  his  product  to  de- 
ceive the  people  and  make  them  think 
it  had  been  near  a  cow."

ESSENTIALS    IN    HOME    DAIRYING. 


J.  M.  Vance,  the  Texas  dairy  expert, 
thus  replies  to  a  correspondent  who 
asks  information  about  starting  a  farm 
dairy: 

This  subject  is  a  b'g  one  and  the  im- 
portant points  can  scarcely  be  men- 
tioned in  a  short  article.  The  first 
thing  to  be  considered  is  the  man  him- 
self: he  must  have  a  love  for  the  dairy 
business  or  he  is  not  likely  to  succeed. 
Next  in  importance  are  the  cows  The 
right  ones  must  be  selected,  the  breed 
to  which  they  belong  does  not  matter, 
but  they  must  be  economical  produc- 
ers. They  must  produce  at  least  200 
pounds  of  butter  fat  per  year;  250 
would  be  a  great  deal  better  and  300 
still  more  desirable,  but  it  is  not  like- 
ly that  our  correspondent  can  pur- 
chase a  great  many  that  will  produce 
more  than  200  pounds  per  year.  He 
will  have  to  depend  upon  himself  to 
breed  better  ones. 

If  our  correspondent  expects  to  make 
butter  he  will  need  a  room  in  which 
to  store  and  r.pen  his  cream  and  pack 
his  butter.  The  dairy  room  must  also 
be  well  ventilated.  It  should  be  light 
las  there  is  nothing  of  greater  impor- 
tance in  a  place  like  this  kind  than 
pure  and  unadulterated  sunlight.  Di- 
rect sunlight  is  the  best  and  most 
economical  germ  destroyer  and  purifier 
that  we  have,  and  too  much  sunlight 
cannot  be  gotten  into  a  dairy  room. 
Arrangements  for  an  abundance  of  hot 
water  must  be  made,  'it  is  equally  im- 
portant to  have  an  abundance  of  cold 
i'water.  For  this  purpose  ice  may  be 
needed.  If  so,  our  corespondent  should 
provide  an  ice  house  in  which  to  store 
[ice  enough  to  last  him  throughout 
Ethe  summer  months.  Have  plenty 
Df  it 

I  The  right  kind  of  salt  is  necessary. 
|Too  little  attention  is  often  paid  to  the 
K:nd  of  salt  used  for  salting  butter. 
Kelect  the  best  dairy  salt  on  the  mar- 
ket. Remember  that  a  salt  which  ab- 
Eorbs  moisture  from  the  atmosphere 
Is  never  a  good  salt,  because  it  is  not 
loure.  A  salt  that  absorbs  moisture 
|:ontains  more  or  less  magnesiam  chlo- 
lide  and  this  substance  is  really  the 
|>ne  that  absorbs  the  moisture.  Pure 
j:alt  will  remain  perfectly  dry  regard- 
less of  the  amount  of  moisture  in  tht 
Ittmosphere.  The  salt  granules  should 
lift  be  too  large,  but  rather  of  medium 
llze.  Many  dairymen  make  the  mis- 
lake     of     separating     their    cream    too 

hin. 
I  "Where  cream  is  shipped  freight  is 
Baved  if  the  cream  carries  from  30  to 
Id  per  cent  of  fat  rather  than  20  to 
|5  per  cent,  and  more  skim  milk  will 
llso  he  kept  on  the  farm.  This  argu- 
ment does,  of  course,  not  obtain  with 
I  man  who  makes  his  own  butter. 
Blevertheless,  it  is  of  importance  for 
im  to  separate  about  30  per  cent 
Bream,  because  the  richer  the  cream 
lie  lower  the  temperature  at  which  it 
l-m  be  churned,  and  the  lower  the 
Ismperature  at  which  it  is  churned, 
I:her  things  equal,  the  better  the  qual- 
|y  of  the  butter. 

|  There     are     a     number    of    different 
■takes   of  churns   on   the   market,   but 
■arhaps    the    most    convenient    churn 
It  dairies  are  those  of  the  barrel  type, 
i     butter    worker   will    be   needed    and 
liose  of  the  lever  type  are  very  satis- 
$  ctory      In  regard  to  power,  the  small 
■isollne    engines    now    on    the    market 
lpe  very  satisfactory,  and  in  many  in- 
Bances     more     economical     than     any

fc.iry    business    to    which    our    corre- 
ct ondent  should  give  special  attention 
■  the  necessity  of  regularity  in  every- 
|[ng  that  is   done.     The  cows  should 
','    fed   and  milked  at  regular   periods 
■  d    the    customers    must    be    supplied 
th  products  that  are  uniform  in  ap-

i   it   that    the   products   are   delivered 
<    those   days   regardless   of  the   con- 
I    Rion  of  the  weather.     As  soon  as  the 
Hstomer  finds  that  he  can  reply  upon

t  isn't  a  bad  idea  to  put  up  some 
t  of  shelter  sheds  in  the  pasture 
d  for  swine.  Often  during  the  win- 
there  are  cold  nights  and  chilling 
is  which  hogs  are  subjected  for  the 
c  of  suitable  shelter.  This  greatly 
r  trds  their  growth  and  often  the 
e  of  their  development  is  so  far  re- 
zed  that  their  profit  is  a  question.

Dear  Sirs:— I  have  used  a  bottle  of  ■  Save-the-

yet  I  have  be^n  able  to  obtain  for  what  It  was 
Intended.  It  having  pntlrely  cured  a  very  valuable 
mare  which  has  been  lame  since  last  September 
wltb  a  spralopd  aDkle.  We  had  her  blistered 
twice  and  laid  up  for  two  monlhs.but  It  did  no 
good.  I  wasjustaboutready  to  breed  her  when  I 
gave  it  a  tr<al;  she  is  now  entirely  sound. 
Yours  respectfully.

One  of  my  horses  went  lame  from  side  or  shell 
bones  on  both  feet,  which  extended  entlrelv 
around  the  quarter,  and  was  laid  upfor  about 
thr  e  months  i  used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the- 
Hor*e.  and  the  horse  is  perfectly  sound.  I  have 
driven  her  over  paved  roads,  and  one  dav  cave 
her  a  sixty-mile  drive  and  she  never  showed  the

years,  u,ed  them  to  build  railroads  and  In  all

and  tropical  plants,  been  converted  into  a  lounging  room— the  FINEST  IN  THE 
WORLD. 

The  EMPIRE  PARLOR— the  PALM  RQOM,  furnished  in  Cerise,  with  Billiard  and

and  numerous  other  modern  improvements,  together  with  the  unexcelled  Cuisine  and  the 
Most  Convenient  Location  in  the  City— all  add  much  to  the  ever  increasing  popularity 
of  this  most  famous  HOTEL.

ThiB  Pholo-Engraving  was  made  from  a  Photograph  ol  Dan  Patch,  was  taken  oa  our  "International  Stock  Food  Farm"  and  we  consider  it  the  best  picture  ever  taken  o!  Dan  when  he  was  not  hitched. 

DO    YOU    WANT    MORE    SPEED?

"INTERNATIONAL  STOCK  FOOD" 


FOR 


ONE   CENT*W 


EVERY    DAY 

Dan  Patch  was  not  taken  out  of  a  large  stud  service  until  June  15th.  On 
Sept.  4th,  he  made  his  first  fast  mile  of  the  season  and  paced  the  Hamline 
Track  at  the  Minnesota  State  Fair  before  60,000  people  in  1:59#.  On  the 
following  Saturday,  Sept.  9th,  he  gave  the  state  fair  another  fast  mile  in 
1:57>2  with  the  last  quarter  in  :27^.  The  track  en  Monday  was  slow  on 
account  of  a  ten  hours  steady  rain  the  Saturday  night  previous.  Dan  was 
immediately  shipped  to  the  Indiana  State  Fair  and  on  Sept.  13th,  before  50,000 
people  he  paced  a  mile  in  2:0Q}4  without  the  pace  maker  and  in  a  strong 
breeze.  He  was  then  shipped  to  Allentown,  Penn.,  and  broke  two  World's 
records  in  the  afternoon  of  Sept.  21st.  before  82,000  people.    At  this  time  he 


OF    HIS    LIFE. 

reduced  the  World's  half-mile  track  record  from  2:03  to  2:01  and  within 
forty  minutes  reduced  the  half-mile  track  wagon  record  from  2:11  to  2:05. 
It  will  be  admitted  by  all  horsemen  that  Dan's  mile  on  a  half-mile  track  in 
2:01  was  fully  equal  to  his  mile  track  record  of  1:56.  Withiu  17  days  from 
bis  start  Dan  paced  5  remarkable  miles  and  was  shipped  over  1200  miles.  If 
"International  Stock  Food"  will  help  a  horse  make  such  wonderful  records  it 
certainly  will  give  paying  results  when  fed  to  your  horses.  If  you  have  fed 
it  you  know  this  to  be  true  and  if  j-ou  have  not  it  will  surely  pay  you  to  test 
it  at  once.     B@"We  will  supply  you  direct  if  you  can't  buy  it  of  your  dealer. 


0»'Dan  Patch  never  paced  a  mile  with  a  wind  shield  and  ALL  INTELLIGENT  horsemen  know  this  to  be  true  because  a  wind  shield  record  is  not  allowed. 
Statements  to  the  contrary  are  from  people  who  are  IGNORANT  or  MALICIOUS.  o;i 

OVER  TWO  MILLION  HORSE  OWNERS  ENDORSE  IT 

Mr.  M.  W.  SAVAGE,  Manager  and  Proprietor,  International  Stock  Food  Co.,  Minneapolis,  Minn. 

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

Ir  saw  anything  actually  sinful  or  criminal  in 
ning  horses  on  Sunday,  but  being  persons  of  per- 
jb?acity  and  good  judgment  as  well  as  liberal 
nided  and  respectful  of  the  opinions  and  feelings  of 
■era,  they  recognized  the  fact  that  a  very  large 
P  portion  of  the  citizens  of  the  United  States  hold 
Eiday  in  reverence  as  a  day  to  be  devoted  to  wor- 
g  p,  and  have  considered  it  no  more  than  right  that 
King   associations    should    not    hold    their    meetings 

0  that  day,  out  of  respect  to  the  feelings  of  religious 
piple.  There  are  six  days  in  the  week  during 
vich  racing  can  be  held,  and  it  shows  respect  for 
t  opinions  of  others  and  tolerance  as  well  as  charity 
p  the  part  of  the  members  of  the  leading  racing 
a  ociations  that  they  refuse  to  hold  meetings  where 
j:-ses  are  awarded,  admission  fees  charged  and  bet- 

1  g  conducted  on  the  first  day  of  the  week.  "We 
B  led  to  these  remarks  by  the  recent  action  of  a 
ti  Francisco  club  in  visiting  a  neighboring  town 
el  holding  a  meeting  on  Sunday.  There  are  many 
€:ellent  men  who  are  among  the  best  patrons  of  this 
jirnal  in  membership  with  that  club.  That  they 
fcve  intended  or  done  anything  wrong  we  do  not 
't  ieve,  but  we  are  convinced  that  it  will  be  better 
■  the  harness  horse  breeding  industry  as  well  as 
tf  the  grand  sport  of  harness  racing  if  these  Sunday 
t  etings  be  cut  out  in  the  future.     Speedway  driving 

ki  road  brushing  on  Sunday  is  as  legitimate  as  on 
ev  other  day,  and  is  enjoyable  and  to  be  encouraged 
ven  conducted  in  the  proper  manner.     But  a  regu- 

fl  race  meeting  is  an  entirely  different  thing.  One 
ithe  action  of  individuals  while  the  other  is  that  of 
i  organization  asking  for  the  patronage  of  the  pub- 

p.  Horsemen  should  do  nothing  as  a  body  that  will 
i:ur  the  ill  will  of  the  general  public.  Race  meet- 
i;s  on  Sunday  are  held  to  be  in  bad  taste  by  hun- 
cedo  and  thousands  of  citizens  who  would  be  pleased 
1  attend  them  on  other  days.  Harness  horsemen 
ould  try  to  cultivate  these  people  instead  of  an- 
ijonizing  them.  If  the  running  tracks  were  open  on 
!  ndays  it  would  not  be  long  until  laws  would  be 
issed  to  close  them  entirely.  The  association  man- 
ners know  this  and  keep  their  gates  closed,  although 
lire  is  no  doubt  but  large  crowds  would  attend  and 
!  nday  racing  be  very  profitable  to  them.     We  sug- 

R3t  to  the  different  driving  clubs  in  California  that 
i;y  indulge  in  no  more  Sunday  race  meetings.  Go 
«  the  speedways  or  the  training  tracks  where  en- 
'  ince  is  free  and  no  purses  are  offered,  and  speed 
ur  horses,  but  do  not  advrtise  regular  Sunday 
'^hig  The  sentiment  of  a  very  large  part  of  the 
Mpectable  element  of  the  country  is  against  it,  and  by 
:  ipecting  that  sentiment  harness  horsemen  will  in 
!"n  command  the  respect  of  the  communities  wherein 
?y  reside. 


has  given  general  satisfaction.  The  fact  that  the 
Occident  stakes  of  1904  and  1905  were  drawn  out  to 
seven  and  six  heats  respectively  doubtless  led  the 
board  to  make  the  new  condition  govern  all  future 
stakes  advertised,  entries  for  which  are  not  yet  closed. 
Of  course  those  stakes  already  closed  must  be  gov- 
erned by  the  conditions  under  which  they  were  orig- 
inally advertised,  so  the  Occidental  and  Stanford 
Stakes  for  foals  of  1904,  which  closed  last  January 
and  June  will  be  trotted  under  the  old  rule  of  best 
three  heats  in  five.  Anyone  who  saw  the  Occident 
Stake  trotted  at  Sacramento  this  year  will  have  to 
admit  that  the  best  and  fastest  colt  won,  even  though 
there  were  six  heats.  Under  the  condition  sending 
non-heat  winners  to  the  stable  at  the  end  of  three 
heats,  would  have  put  this  colt  (North  Star  2:13%, 
the  best  three  year  old  that  has  appeared  in  Califor- 
nia in  years)  back  to  third  position  when  the  money 
was  awarded.  Princess  Louise  won  the  first  heat 
and  Bellemont  the  next  two,  North  Star  finishing  in 
second  position  each  heat  after  making  disastrous 
breaks.  He  won  the  next  three  heats,  however,  and 
clearly  established  his  title  to  the  fastest  and  the 
gamest  three  year  old  trotter  racing  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  this  year.  What  influenced  the  directors  of 
the  society  more  than  anything  else  to  make  this 
new  condition,  was  their  opinion  that  three  year  olds 
should  not  be  asked  to  go  such  long  drawn  out  con- 
tests as  the  Occident  Stake  has  resulted  in  for  the 
past  two  years.  The  rule  has  worked  well  with  class 
races  for  aged  horses  ,and  they  saw  no  reason  why 
it  should  not  be  applied  to  the  three  year  olds  as 
well.  Their  action  is  in  accordance  with  the  trend 
of  harness  racing  reform  all  over  the  country,  which 
seems  to  demand  shorter  racing  than  the  old  three - 
in-five  plan  furnishes,  and  which  has  resulted  in 
many  new  plans  and  innovations  being  tried  at  many 
of  the  leading  meetings.  The  next  renewal  of  the 
Occident  to  be  advertised  will  be  for  foals  of  1904,  to 
trot  in  1907,  and  will  close  for  entries  on  the  first 
of  January  next.  It  will  be  governed  by  this  new 
condition. 


^  NEW  CONDITION  will  govern  all  renewals  of 
J  Occident  and  Stanford  Stakes  that  close  after  this 
te.  This  condition,  which  was  made  into  a  resolu- 
n  and  passed  by  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
lifornia  State  Agricultural  Society  at  a  meeting 
Id  in  Sacramento  last  Saturday,  provides  that  all 
rses  not  winning  a  heat  in  three  shall  be  sent  to 
e  stable,  but  shall  retain  their  positions  in  the 
mmary  which  they  had  at  the  close  of  the  third 
at.  This  rule  or  condition  has  governed  all  har- 
ss  races  held  at  the  State  Fair  for  several  years 
st,    with    the    exception    of    the    stake    races,    and 


BROTHER  WESTGATE,  editor  of  the  Albany,  Ore- 
gon, Herald,  writes  us  as  follows:  "Noting  your  re- 
cent reference  to  the  great  New  York  show  horse, 
Commander  Baker  by  Alfonso  9700.  it  may  be  of  in- 
terest that  Commander  Baker's  dam  is  Antonia  2:36 
by  Electioneer,  dam  the  great  brood  mare  Columbine, 
Antonia  being  a  full  sister  to  Anteeo  2.16%,  Ante- 
volo  2: 19*6,  J-  C.  Simpson  2:18%,  etc.  Antonia  was 
bred  at  Palo  Alto  and  foaled  in  1894  She  was  pur- 
chased by  C.  X.  Larrabee  of  Brook  Nook  Ranch  and 
is  still  among  the  Brook  Nook  matrons,  having  this 
year  foaled  a  filly  colt  to  The  King  Red  2:20%.  Al- 
ondra,  foaled  at  Brook  Nook,  was  a  full  brother  of 
Commander  Baker  and  has  now,  I  believe,  a  record  of 
2:20.  Antonia  foaled  two  other  Alfonso  colts,  which, 
unfortunately,  died.  The  blood  combination  of  Elec- 
tioneer, Baron  Wilkes.  Alma  Mater,  Columbine,  etc., 
surely  ought  to  be  richly  productive,  and  it  is  inter- 
esting to  note  how  it  has  been  so  in  this  case."  And 
we  will  add  that  breeders  who  aim  to  produce  stan- 
dard trotters  of  the  show  horse  type  are  in  our  opinion 
on  the  right  track  to  command  the  high  prices  of  the 
future  if  they  are  successful.  Brother  Westgate's 
stallion  Nocturno  2:26  will  be  a  factor  in  producing 
this  type  if  he  is  fortunate  in  getting  the  right  class 
of  mares.  The  fact  that  his  get  won  first  in  their 
classes  at  the  great  Lewis  and  Clark  show  proves  this, 
as  he  is  a  young  horse  and  there  are  but  very  few  of 
his  progeny,  none  being  over  two  years  old.  He  is  by 
Alfonso,  and  on  his  dam's  side  has  several  crosses  to 
standard  families  renowned  for  their  handsome  con- 
formation. 


A  TABLE  of  the  winners  on  the  Grand  Circuit  has 
been  compiled  by  the  Chicago  Horseman,  and  is  most 
interesting  reading.  It  shows  that  224  trotters  started 
in  the  circuit  from  Detroit  to  Lexington,  and  only  140 
won  some  part  of  the  purse;  in  fact  no  less  than  26 
winning  only  $100  or  less.  Five  won  $10,000  or  over, 
13  won  $5000  or  over,  17  won  $3000  or  over,  60  won 
$1000  or  over,  and  S3  won  $500  or  over,  while  84  won 
no  money.  Of  the  pacers  203  started,  and  while  129 
won  money,  no  pacer  won  over  $5000.  Four  won 
$4000  or  over,  21  won  $2000  or  over,  42  won  $1000  or 
over,  54  won  $500  or  over,  and  74  did  not  win  a  penny. 
The  totals  show  that  427  horses  competed  in  the 
Grand  Circuit   races  and   158   won  no  money.

LEXINGTON    BREAKS    HER    RECORD. 
(Horse  Review,   Oct.   17.) 

What  may  be  termed  the  "regular"  harness  racing 
season  closed  at  Lexington  last  Saturday  when  the 
thirty-third  annual  fall  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders'  Association  came  to  an  end. 
The  season  could  not  well  have  been  more  fittingly 
finished;  for  the  meeting  was  not  alone  the  best  ever 
held  at  Lexington — it  was  the  best  held  this  year  at 
any  track;  and,  taken  "by  and  large,"  the  best  ever 
held  anywhere,  any  year.  There  can  be  no  dissent 
from  this  verdict  when  its  results  are  surveyed  and 
are  compared  with  those  of  last  year's  meeting,  which 
we   then   denominated   the  most  successful  ever  held 

A  complete  statistical  resume  of  the  meeting  will 
be  found  in  another  column.  This  discloses  that  it 
comprised  34  races,  in  which  119  heats  were  trotted 
and  paced  in  the  average  time  of  2:09  313-476.  Last 
year  there  was  one  more  race — 35 — but  four  less 
heats — 115.  Still,  n\e  average  time  was  not  then  so 
fast.  For  the  115  heats  of  1904  it  was  but  2:10  55-115, 
or  three-quarters  $f  a  second  slower.  When  it  is 
considered  that  there  were  two  days  of  bad  weather 
last  week,  during  which  there  could  be  no  racing, 
the  track  also  being  rendered  slow  for  the  first  day 
on  which  the  program  was  resumed,  this  average  is 
indeed  most  remarkable.  The  amount  of  purse  money 
distributed  was  $69,400,  which  was  slightly  less  than 
last  year's  total  of  $70,825.  This  was  divided  among 
96  different  horses.  55  trotters  and  41  pacers.  Last 
year  the  money-winning  horses  numbered  91,  of  which 
55  were  trotters  and  36  pacers.  Last  year  the  trot- 
ters won  $52,100,  this  year  they  won  $50,700.  Last 
year  the  pacers  won  $18,725,  this  year  they  won 
$18,700.  The  total  of  starters  last  year  was  251,  of 
which  162  were  trotters  and  89  pacers  This  year 
there  were  "242  starters,  of  which  137  were  trotters 
and  105  pacers. 

The  fastest  heat  raced  this  year  by  the  trotters 
was  in  2:05%,  which  was  three-quarters  of  a  second 
slower  than  last  year's  record  of  2.04%.  But  this  is 
offset  by  the  gain  of  two  and  one-quarter  seconds 
made  by  the  pacers,  their  best  heat  this  year  being 
2:02,  as  against  2:04%  last.  The  product  of  new 
2: 10  performers  this  year  was  no  less  than  10 — 
ten  trotters  and  four  pacers.  This  is  a  gain  of  four 
from  last  year,  when  there  were  four  trotters  and 
two   pacers. 

In  respect  of  the  racing,  it  may  be  said  that  there 
was  no  trotting  contest  that  equaled  last  year's  ex- 
traordinary Transylvania  duel  between  Sweet  Marie 
and  Tiverton.  However,  this  was  nearly  counterbal- 
anced by  this  year's  2:06  trot  in  which  the  world's 
record  for  a  four-heat  race  was  not  only  beaten,  but 
completely  eclipsed.  The  old  record  was  made  at 
Columbus  in  1903  in  a  race  won  by  Dan  T.,  in  which 
the  time  of  the  heats  was  2:06%,  2:07%,  2:0S%,  2:07%. 
The  new  record,  made  week  before  last  at  Lexington 
in  the  wonderful  -race  won  by  Norman  B..  is  2:05%,' 
2:05%.  2.06%,  2:07%—  the  average  time  being  over  a 
second  faster.  This  year's  three-year-old  Kentucky 
Futurity  was  neither  quite  so  sensational  nor  quite 
so  fast  as  1904's;  but  it  is  altogether  likely  that  the 
two  contenders  in  it.  Miss  Adbell  2:09%,  and  Susie 
N.  2:09%,  are  a  greater  pair  of  fillies  than  were  last 
year's  rivals,  Grace  Bond  2:09%  and  Alta  Axworthy 
2:10%.  While  the  two-year-old  Futurity  record  was 
not  equaled,  Lightsome's  heat  in  2:14%  fell  short  of 
it  by  but  a  half  second,  while  it  lowered  the  season's 
record  for  the  gait  and  age  by  two  and  one-quarter 
seconds.  The  race  for  the  Walnut  Hall  Cup  was  by 
far  the  best  ever  trotted  for  that  coveted  trophy.  The 
record  for  the  event.  2:07%,  made  by  Caspian  in  1903, 
was  equaled  by  the  winner,  Turley,  in  the  first  heat, 
and  reduced  to  2:07%  by  Glen  wood  M.  in  the  second 
heat.  The  latter  mile,  also  established  a  new  race 
record    for   the   season    for   trotting   stallions. 

Among  last  year's  pacing  events  there  was  nothing 
to  compare  with  the  magnificent  race  won  by  Lo- 
canda  week  before  last,  in  which  two  heats  were  paced 
below  2:03,  while  the  average  for  the  three  was 
2 :  03  1-6.  Locanda's  second  heat  in  2.02  is  also  a 
pacing  record  for  the  year.  In  the  Tennessee,  the 
most  valuable  of  the  "fixed  events"  for  pacers  at 
Lexington,  Maud  Keswick,  the  winner,  paced  the  sec- 
ond heat  in  2:03%,  which  lowered  the  previous  record 
for  the  event  a  half  second — a  notable  performance 
when  it  is  recalled  that  among  former  Tennessee  win- 
ners have  been  such  horses  as  Star  Pointer  1:59%, 
Dan  Patch  1:55%,  Searchlight  2:03%.  and  John  M. 
2:02%.  In  the  pacing  Futurity  Bonalet  also  lowered 
the  record  for  the  event  and  equaled  the  world's 
record  for  three-year-old  fillies,  2:09%. 

The  great,  the  truly  historic  performances  of  the 
meeting,  however,  were  the  phenbmenal  exhibitions  of 
Dan  Patch,  the  pacing  champion,  who  first  equaled 
his  world's  light-harness  record  of  1 :  56  and  then 
reduced  it  to  1:55% ;  in  addition  to  which  he  also 
.  equaled  the  world's  unpaced  record  of  1 :  59%.  An- 
other splendid  effort  against  time  was  that  of  Admiral 
Dewey,  whose  mile  in  2.04%  established  a  new  trot- 
ting stallion  record  for  the  year  and  placed  him 
third  to  Cresceus  2:02%  and  John  A.  McKerron  2:04% 
on   the  list  of  entire  horses. 

From  this  brief  enumeration  of  the  most  salient 
features  only,  the  surpassing  brilliance  of  the  meeting, 
from  a  sporting  standpoint,  will  be  readily  appreci- 
ated. Its  success  in  other  particulars  was  as  great. 
The  attendance  record  was  broken.  The  pecuniary 
profits  will,  it  is  stated,  be  the  largest  in  the  associa- 
tion's history;  and  this  despite  the  bad  weather  of 
the  second  week.  Never  before  were  there  so  many 
non-resident  visitors  to  "Kentucky's  greai  tints.'- 
Practically  every  state  in  the  Union  was  represented, 
and  many  of  them  by  large  delegations  The  assem- 
blage of  the  celebrated  and  notable  men  of  the  trot- 
ting world  was  one  perhaps  never  before  equaled  at 
a  race-meeting;  and  royally  were  they  entertained, 
not  merely  by  the  royal  sport  provided  them,  but  by 
that  royal  hospitality  in  whose  dispensation  the  Ken- 
tucky breeders   stand   alone.

JOTTINGS.  M 


'I'll!-:    BEST   BRED   STALLION    living   is   undoubt- 
vned  in  nearly  every  locality  where  horses  art 
S       -     months   ago   the   turf   papers   devoted   to 
horses    were    filled    with    articles      containing 
tabulated  pedigrees  and  arguments  accompanying  the 
same,   to    prove   thai    the   particular  colts   or  stallions 
thi     best    bred    animals    in    the    entire 
country,  and  in  every  article  that  we  remember  reading 
the  author  clearly  ■  roved  .to  his  own  satisfaction  that 
the  colt  ..i"  hi.-  choice  was  the  best  bred  one  that  ever 
saw   the  light   of  day.     To  say   that   any  horse  is  the 
red    is    ot"   .nurse    only   a    matter   of     individual 
cpinion  ant  each   writer  should,  to  keep  peace  in  the 
family  of  hui-se  breeders,   prefix  any  statement  as  to 
i  bred   horse    with  "in  my  opinion."     I  am  led  to 

-ions  by  the  receipt  of  a  letter  from  far 
\  ■  Zealand,  in  which  the  writer  Mr.  R.  Mc- 
Millan desires  to  know  just  why  it  was  stated  in 
these  columns  that  the  stallion  Peralta,  son  of.Nut- 
Wilkes  and  the  mare  Rose  MjcKinney  by  Mc- 
ivas  the  best  bred  stallion  that  had  been  sent 
from  America  to  New  Zealand.  Mr.  McMillan  himself 
took  from  America  to  that  place  a  few  months  ago 
the  stallions  Mauritius  36.257  and  Harold  Dillon  39610. 
Mauritius  is  by  Bingen  2:0614  out  of  Roxana,  dam  or 
two  in  the  list  by  King  Wilkes,  second  dam  Wavelet 
dam  of  four,  by  Belmont  64.  third  dam  Waterwitch. 
dam  of  six.  by  Pilot.  Jr.  That's  mighty  rich  breed- 
ing beyond  a  doubt,  and  we  know  lots  of  people  who 
would  select  him  as  a  better  bred  horse  than  Peralta. 
Mr.  McMillan's  other  stallion,  Harold  Dillon,  is  a 
son  of  Sidney  Dillon,  sire  of  the  world's  champion 
trotter  and  out  of  Guycara  by  Guy  Wilkes,  next 
dam  the  mare  Biseari,  dam  of  six  in  the  list,  by 
Director,  third  dam  Bicari  dam  of  six  standard  per- 
formers, by  Harold,  fourth  dam  Belle,  dam  of  one  in 
the  list,  by  Mambrino  Chief.  This  will  also  be 
called  royal  breeding  and  many  would  select  him  as 
a  better  bred  one  than  Peralta,  while  an  endless  de- 
bate could  be  started  as  to  which  of  the  two,  Mauri- 
tius or  Harold  Dillon  was  the  better  bred.  As  I 
said  before  this  "best  bred"  proposition  is  a  matter 
of  opinion.  Now  in  my  humble  opinion  there  is  not 
a  belter  bred  stallion  than  Nutwood  Wilkes,  and  I 
never  saw  one  of  his  get  that  could,  not  go  some. 
Nutwood  Wilkes  is  by  one  of  the  best  bred  sons  of 
George  Wilkes  and  one  that  sired  money  winning 
race  winners.  Nutwood  Wilkes  himself  has  sired  the 
fastest  stallion  of  the  whole  Wilkes  tribe— John  A. 
McKerron  2:04%,  and  has  had  three  three  year  old 
stake  winners  to  trot  below  2:14.  So  much  for  Peral- 
tos  sire.  His  dam  is  by  the  great  McKinney  2.11%, 
sire  of  more  2:15  trotters  and  2:10  trotters  than  any 
stallion  that  ever  lived,  second  dam  by  Forest  Clay, 
third  dam  by  Almont  Lightning  and  fourth  dam  by 
imported  Yorkshire,  throughbred.  Now  in  my  state- 
ment of  best  breed  I  did  not  take  into  consideration 
the  second,  third  and  fourth  dams  except  to  know  that 
they  were  of  good  breeding  and  by.  sires  that  got 
speed,  stamina  and  good  looks.  My  opinion  as  to 
Peralta  being  the  best  bred  stallion  exported  to  New 
Zealand  was  because  he  is  a  representative  of  the  Nut- 

i    Wilkes-McKinney   cross,   which   in   my    humble 

nt  is  just  about  the  acme  of  breeding,  although 
would  prefer  the  McKinney  cross  on  top.     The 
cross  has  been   tried  both   ways   and   invariably   pro- 
duces speed  of  a  high  rate.    Miss  Georgie  2:10%  pac- 
ing,  and   Lady   Mowry   2:12V4     trotting    both    records 
his  year  are  representations  of  the  McKinney- 
Nutwood  Wilkes  cross,  and  Tidal  Wave  2:09.  record 
mis  year  is  a  representative  of  the  reverse  cross 
and  there  are  a  number  of  green  ones  I  have  seen  who 
all    -how   that   the  blending  of  the  blood   of  Nutwood 
Wilkes  and  McKinney  is  a  great  success— in  fact  such 
a  success,  that   it   has  led  me  to  the  belief  that   it  is 
II,,    best   breeding  for  the  production  of '  a  very   high 
rale  of  speea  in   the  future.     No  doubt  Mr.  McMillan 
thinks  both  his  stallions  better  bred  than  Peralta  and 
lie  ,an  find  lots  of  people  here  in  California  to  agree 
with   him.     It  is  a  question  that  would  be  impossible 
tie  by   argument    as  the   disputants  could  never 
.,,,    thi     premise.      All    three   of   these    stallions 
should  produi      -  iee  l  of  a  high  order,  and  as  they  will 
doubtless  !»•  well  patronized  in  New  Zealand,  we  shall 
u    for   time   to  tell   which   is  the  best  bred 
oi    the  three. 


T.  C.  2:30,  and  is  I  believe,  one  of  his  first  to  be 
trained.  T.  ('.  is  a  son  of  Nutwood  Willies,  first'dam 
Zeta  Carter  by  Director  2:17  and  'second  dam  Lida 
W.  2:18%.  the  dam  of  Nutwood  Wilkes,  by  Nutwosra. 
The  dam  of  this  filly  is  Ingar.  dam  of  .John,  A.  ..M.t'r 
Kerron  2.04%.  by  Director,  consequently  she  has  two 
crosses  of  Director  blood  and  two  of  tida  W".  Mr. 
Carter  tells  an  interesting  story :  about :  this  filly. 
When  he  had  ten  ■  or  a  dozen  two  yeaT-otds.  put  in 
training  last  spring,  the  trainer  reported  the  T.  t:'. 
filly  had  no  trot  in  her..  She.  had  a  short  mincing 
gait  that  she  would  not  or  could  not  extend  to  any- 
thing worth  while.  Mr.  Carter  said  that  a:  filly  'bred 
like  this  one  would  have  'to  "show  him"  "she  c«uid 
not.  trot  before  he  would,  believe  it.  and.  he  concluded 
to  train  her  himself.  After  driving  her  a  few  days 
and  getting  her  balanced  a  little  better,  she  struck 
out  like  a  trotter  one' morning  when  another  cOft 
came  up  alongside  her,  and  right  then  and  there  he 
concluded  she  was  worth  giving  a  chance.:  He  sent 
her  to  Fred  Chadbourne  at  Pleasanton  just  four 
weeks  ago  and  on  Saturday  last  went  up  to  see  how- 
she  was  doing.  Fred  drove  her  one  quarter  in  SS% 
seconds  and  another  in  34%  and  she  trotted  "like  one 
that  had  been  at  it  for  years.  She  never:,  lifted  her 
head,  but  went  at  it  as;  though  it  was  a,  matter  of 
business  that  must  be  attented  to  right  then  and 
there.  I  never  saw  one  that  trotted  more  naturally 
or  with  more' ease.  She  has  a  business  head  on  her 
and  as  one  would  expect  from  her  breeding,'  a  race 
.horse  way  of  going.  Mr.  Carter  called  my  attention 
to  her  head,  which  is  fine,,  clean  cut  and  very  hand- 
some. 'When  I  concluded  to  mate  Ingar  with  T.  C," 
said  he,  '"I  was  satisfied  the  cross  would  be  a  good  one 
in  everyway  except  the  head.  T.  G.  Has  a  strong  heavy 
head,  and  Ingar's  head  is  also  pretty  large  and  not 
fine.  I  feared  the  foal  resulting,  from,-. mating  these 
two  would  have  a  coarse  and  heavy  head,  but  to  my 
surprise  when  this  filly  arrived,  she  had  one  of  the 
finest  and  most  blood  like  heads  of  anything  foaled  on 
the  farm  that  year."  She  is  the  first  of  the  get  of 
T.  C.  to.be  trained  and.  will  make. him  a  place  in.  the 
Great  Table  whenever  she.  is  asked.  There  were,  two 
of  his  get  older  than  this  Ally,  one  of  which  died,  and 
the  other  was  put  to  breeding  last  year.' 


the   dull   season   of  the   year   with 
oi    trotting  horses  in  this   part  of  the  State, 

us    track    at    Pleasanton    is   a     busy     place. 

Nearly    it    not    quit.-    thirty    trainers    have    strings    of 

there,    and  the  track,    which  is  kept  in  superb 

Ion    by    siii.eiint.n  Geo.    A.   Kelly,    presents

owned  by  .Mi.  Martin  Carter,  and  that  gentleman  was

Lou  Crellin's  two-year-old  filly  by  Owyhee  2:11  dam 
Bertha  by  Alcantara  is  also  in  Fred  Chadbourne's 
string  and  the  railbirds  have  a  hard  •.  time  .  telling 
which  of  these  two  fillies  Fred  is  driving.  Mrr.  Car- 
ter's filly  and  Mr.  Crellin's  filly  are  so  much  alike  in 
appearance  that  they  look  like  twins. .  A  star  in  the 
forehead  of  the  T.  C.  filly  is  about  the  only  distin- 
guishing mark  that  differentiates  her  fromcthe  one 
by  Owyhee.  The  picture  of  the  latter  on  the  front 
page  of  this  issue  gives  some  idea  of ^  the  classy,  look 
of  these  fillies,  and  will   answer  lor ^  both. 


The  Limit  is  the  apt  name  given  to  Bertha's  year- 
ling by  Searchlight"  2:03%.  The  dam  of  Diablo  in- 
variably produces  a  good-looking,  strong  foal,  but  The 
Limit  is  probably  the  largest  and  strongest  any  have 
ever  been  at  the  age.  He  is  not.  as  fine  as  the.  two 
year  old.  filly,  by  Owyhee,  but  he  is  a- colt  and  looks 
like  a  high  class  young.,  stud.  He  should  be  very 
popular  as  a  stallion  when  he  gets  Wis  growth.  Any 
colt  sired  by  a  race  horse' like  Searchlight  2:.03i4  and 
out  of  a  mare  like  Bertha,  that,  has  produced,  no  less 
than  three  2:10  performers,  ought  to  receive  the 
patronage  of  some  of  the  best  mares  in  the  land. 
The  Limit  is  now  a  good  square  trotter  with  speed 
for  a  yearling,  but  it  Will  not  surprise  anyone  if  he 
shifts  to  the  pace  and-  beats  2: 10.  as  a  three  year 
old. 

Henry  Helman  who  went  East. with  Mack  Mack  and 
Oregon  Maid,  returned  this  week  and 'left  Thursday 
for  his  home  in  Portland,  Oregon.  Mack  Mack  was 
shipped  to  Pleasanton  with  the  DeRyder  string  and 
Helman  will  return  in  a  few  weeks  and.. do  his  winter 
training  at  Pleasanton  track.  Mack  Mack  has  fully 
recovered  from  his  sprained  ankle  and  is  as  good  as 
ever  He  would  have  beaten  2:10  this  year  but  for 
his  accident  which  put  the  son  of  McKinney  out  of 
business  for  five  weks.  during  which  all  of  his  best 
engagements  lapsed.  Oregon  Maid  that  took  a 
record  of  2:08%  in  a  winning  race  at  Lexington  is  to 
be  consigned  to  the  Old  Glory  sale  by  her  owner  Mr. 
Richardson  of  Denver.  While  in  Kentucky  Mr,. Hel- 
man bought  a  yearling  stallion  for  Mr.  Bowies  the 
owner  of  Mack  Mack.  The  colt  is  a  trotter,  a  fine 
looking  bay  and  bred  in  the  purple.  He  is  by  Baron 
Wilkes.  Jr.,  2:23%  one  of  the  very  best  bred  sons  of 
the  great  Baron  Wilkes.  Baron  Wilkes.  Jr:,  is  out 
of  a  great  brood  mare  by  Director,-  second  dam  ,a 
great  brood  mare  by  Princeps  536.  third. dara. another 
great  brood  mare  by  Volunteer,  55,  fourth  dam  by 
Hambletonian  10,  and  fifth  dam  the  Welling  rhare  by 
Shark,  thoroughbred.  The  dam  of  Mr.  Bowles  colt 
is  Susie  May  2:18%  by  Dignus-,  a  son  of  Dicator. 
Helman  has  the  reputation  of  being  able,  to  pick  out 
a  good  one  and  from  the  breeding  of  this  fellow  it  is 
more  than  likely  he  has  secured  for  Mr.  Bowles  a 
young  stallion  that  will  be  one  of  the  future  great 
sires  of  this  coast.  Baron  Wilkes  blood  is  very  scarce 
on  this  Coast  and  this  colt  will  be  watched  by  pro- 
gressive breeders.

Quite  a  number  of  the   horsemen   in    the   Northwest 
are  figuring  on  going  to  California  to  winter. 


Hellennes  went  a  good  race  over  a  heavy  track

Chas.  De  Ryder,  the  well  known  trainer  who  for 
the  past  two  years  has  been  in  the  employ  of  James 
Butler  of  New  York  as  head  trainer  and  driver  on 
the  Grand  Circuit,  reached  Pleasanton  on  Wednesday 
of  this  week  with  a  carload  of  horses,  headed  by  the 
old  champion  Star  Pointer  1:59%,  who  landed  in  fine 
shape  and  was  admired  by  all  the  horsemen  who  saw 
him.  Mr.  De  Ryder,  who  will  be  in  business  for  himself 
from  now  on,  has  leased  Star  Pointer  for  two  years 
and  will  place  him  in  the  stud  at  Pleasanton  in  the 
spring.  In  his  car  Mr.  De  Ryder  brought  back  Mack 
Mack  2:12  for  Henry  Helman,  also  a  yearling  colt

saddle  horses  which  he  selected  in  Lexington  for  Mr.

public  training  stable  at  Pleasanton.  assisted  by  his 
brother,  and  will  prepare  trotters  and  pacers  for  the 
Eastern   or  California   circuits. 


If  anyone  imagines  Pleasanton  track  is  not  a  busy 
place  he  should  visit  the  horse  center.  Among  those 
wrho  are  training  horses  there  now  are  Dan  Sulzer, 
Barney  Simpson,  George  Ramage,  Harry  Brown,  Ted 
Hayes,  S.  K.  Trefry,  C.  F.  Bunch,  Al  McDonald,

Mart  Rollins  worked  his  trotter  Charley  Belden  a 
mile  in  2:13%  last  Wednesday  at  Santa  Rosa.  This 
gelding  is  one  of  the  nicest  trotters  that  ever  hit  a 
track.  He  is  by  Lynwood  W.  out  of  a  mare  by 
Silas   Skinner. 


Dan  Misner,  C.  F.  Bunch,  and  John  Green  sent  their 
horses  from  Pleasanton  to  race  on  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia  circuit- 


There  are  15  trotters  and  pacers  that  have  recor 
from   1:55%    to   2:02,  and  five  of  them,   or  one 
trace  to  the  two  full  brothers,  Alcyone  2:27  and 
cantara  2:23.     Nine  of  them  trace  one  or  more 
to  George  Wilkes  2:22. 


Every  one  knows  that  the  trotting  record  wi 
pacemaker  in  front  is  1:58%,  made  by  Lou  Dilk 
but  there  is  some  uncertainty  as  to  the  record  ma 
with  runner  alongside,  says  the  American  Hor 
Breeder.  Several  persons  have  asked  us  what  ti 
record  was,  and  thinking  there  may  be  others  wi 
seem  uncertain  as  to  this  style  of  going,  we  wou 
say  that  it  is  2:01,  also  made  by  Lou  Dillon.  TI" 
was  last  year  at  Memphis.  Major  Delmar,  also 
Memphis,  trotted  in  2:01%,  which  was  the  reco 
when  made,  and  which  is  now  the  best  for  a  geldir 
while  the  mile  in  2:02%,  by  Cresceus,  is  the  stalli 
record. 


The  horses  are  moving  fast  at  the  Santa  Rosa  track 
these  days.  Frank  Turner  worked  his  three-year-old 
pacing  filly  Carlocita  a  mile  in  2:15  last  Wednesday, 
the  last  quarter  in  30%  seconds.  She  is  by  Sidney 
Dillon  out  of  Carlotta  Wilkes.  On  the  same  day  he 
stepped  the  two-year-old  pacer  Carrie  Dillon  by  Sid- 
ney Dillon  out  of  Biscari  by  Director  a  mile  in  2:16%. 
This  youngster  is  one  of  the  coming  crackajacks  of 
the  coast.  . 


Charlie  T.  2:13%  by  Zombro,  is  at  Pleasanton  in 
Al  McDonald's  charge  and  looks  as  good  as  peaches 
and  cream.  He  will  go  into  Zombro's  list  of  2:30 
performers  next   season. 


George  Ramage  is  working  a  big  trotter  by  Falrose 
that  is  showing  a  lot  of  improvement.  George 
stepped  him  a  mile  in  2:39  four  weeks  after  receiv- 
ing him.  and  thinks  he  will  be  trotting  in  standard 
time  before  Christmas. 


Ed  Mills  is  expected  back  in  Pleasanton  within  a 
few  days  from  his  Eastern  trip.  Searchlight  will  do 
a  big  business  in  Kentucky  next  spring,  many  mares 
being    already    booked. 


2  \0%  by  McKinney  is  just  outside 
the  dress  circle,  hut  she  will  be  occupying  a  seat 
there   next   year. 


Mr.  J.  c  Adams  of  Phoenix.  Arizona,  has  engaged 
the  services  <»f  ivl  Hall,  a  well  known  Illinois  trainer. 
Mr.  Adams  will  put  the  tWO-year-Old  brother  to  Sweet

I  <-f  2:29%  at  the  meeting  of  the  Sonoma  Coun- 
ty   Driving  Club   two   weeks  ago,   trotted  a  nice  mill 

ill     week   Over  the   Santa    Rosa    track,   driven

Some  good  bags  of  ducks  were  also  killed  aloil

Charles  T.  Henshall,  after  a  long  illness  in  New 
York,  has  returned  to  ''the  game"  and  will  bring  to 
Emeryville  a  French-bred  mare  named  Ginette.  Mas- 
sada,  Pronta  and  his  horses  well  known  out  this  wayi, 
Head  Dance,  Sir  Brillar  and  Martinmas.  Pronta  is 
likely  to  prove  a  mare  hard  to  beat,  for  the  daughter 
of  Falsetto  can  either  sprint  or  stay  and  can  negoti- 
ate any  kind  of  course.  At  Union  Park,  St.  Louis,  in 
1904,  Pronta  was  the  best  performer  on  the  list.

Prominent  turfmen  new  to  the  Coast  sending  out 
strings  this  year  are  James  Arthur,  Dr.  J.  Grant  Ly- 
man, Frank  Healy,  Capt.  R.  R.  Rice,  Walter  Gum  and 
William  Gerst,  while  there  will  be  a  return  of  most 
of  the  "old  guard,"  Bob  Smith  being  the  lone  excep- 
tion I  can  call  to  mind.  A  surprise  is  the  splitting  of 
his  big  string  by  "Boots"  Durnell,  one  division  racing 
in  Los  Angeles,  the  other  here.  H.  T.  Griffin  and 
Frank  Regan  will  do  likewise,  as  will  Barney  Schrei- 
ber.  Billy  Oliver  returns  with  Lord  Badge  and  other 
bread-winners,  as  do  L.  A.  Bonsack,  C.  M.  Patterson. 
George  Webb,  George  Dodge,  James  Curl.  W.  E.  Cot- 
ton, Dayton  &  Co.,  Lamasney  Bros..  J.  D.  Millin,  M. 
D.  Miller,  L.  H|  Ezell.  P.  Ryan,  T.  H.  Ryan.  W.  Cahill, 
John  Schorr,  F.  Doss,  C.  C.  MfcCafferty,  F.  E. 
Baird,  Mike  Daly,  H.  Robinson  and  P.  Knebelkamp. 

There  will  be  no  dearth  of  riding  talent  this  season. 
We  will  have  "Big  Bill"  Knapp  (second  to  no  rider 
at  the  far  East  this  season),  L.  Fountain,  Johnny 
Daly,  W.  Dalys  Uddie  "Walsh,  A.  Minder,  Schade 
(Schreiber's  jockey),  Aububhon,  League,  Frank  Otis, 
T.  Clark,  Wright  E.  Robinson  and  last,  not  least, 
Radtke,  who  has  taken  the  lead  in  races  won  in  this, 
the  very  season  he  has  ridden  race  horses.  Late  in 
th  season  we  are  likely  to  see  Lucien  Lyne,  Tommy 
Burns  and  Jay  Ransch  taking  a  few  stake  mounts. 
Altogether,  as  said  before,  it  will  be  the  most  inter- 
esting season  of  winter  racing  ever  known  on  the 
Coast,  viewed  from  any  standpoint  you  like.

In  keeping  with  the  class  of  horses  competing  here, 
the  New  California  Jockey  Club  has  made  a  decided 
increase  in  the  purses,  having  a  $500  or  $600  purse 
every  day  and  $1,000  purses  on  Wednesdays  and 
Saturdays,  when  stake  races  are  not  down  for  de- 
cision. This  means  a  decided  increase  in  the  size  of 
the   purses.

Realizing  the  many  shortcomings  of  the  scale  of 
weights  now  in  vogue  in  California,  I  have  complied 
one  that  remedies  the  existing  evils,  especially  among 
the  two  year  olds  in  the  last  three  months  of  the  year 
and  the  horses  going  long  journeys.

The  above  scale  is  based  on  the  belief  that  veteri- 
narians are  correct  when  they  say  a  horse  is  fully 
matured  in  every  respect  at  the  age  of  fifty  months. 
Previously  the  scale  for  two  year  olds  In  October. 
November  and  December  was  the  same.  In  these 
days,  when  winter  racing  is  in  vogue,  the  use  of  the 
ancient  scale  would  give  two  year  olds  running  in  the 
months  of  November  and  December  a  decided  advant- 
age over  older  horses,  and  this  has  been  taken  into 
account  in  making  the  new  scale  and  the  matter 
remedied.  After  a  horse  has  matured,  why-  should  he 
not,  from  that  time  forth,  carry  his  full  weight  at  ah 
times— not  more  in  October  than  in  May,  if  he  is 
fifty  months  old  in  May?  In  the  old  scales,  too,  the 
weight  increased  with  the  distance,  when  in  my  opin- 
ion just  the  reverse  should  be  the  case.  The  longer 
the  journey  the  heavier  the  load  fels  to  the  carrier. 
Taking  this  view,  it  will  be  noted  that  there  has  been 
a  cut  made  of  four  pounds  in  the  weight  carried  by 
a;  five  year  old  between  a  race  of  a  mile  and  a  half 
and  one  of  three  miles.  It  will  be  noted  that  I  make 
four  year  old  in  the  month  of  May  carry  as  much  as 
at  any  time  in  his  after  career.  I  am  assuming  that 
a  majority  of  the  foals  come  into  the  world  by  March 
1st,  and  by  making  May  1st  (four  years  and  two 
months  later)  the  time  when  it  shall  carry  the  maxi- 
mum weight,  this  would  be  approximately  correct. 


STATE    AGRICULTURAL    SOCIETY    MEETING. 


(Sacramento  Union,  Oct.  22.) 
-  The  directors  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  met 
yesterday  at  the  Pavilion  for  the  purpose  of  passing 
the  -  financial  statement  of  the  recent  fair.  After 
transacting  the  necessary  business  the  directors  vis- 
ited" Governor  Pardee  at  the  Capitol  and  laid  the 
statement  before  him.  There  were  present  Directors 
Burke,  Fox,  Howard,  Johnston.  Kingsbury,  Land, 
Paine,  Rose.  Wilson,  Whitaker  and  President  Rush, 
with  Albert  Lindley,  Secretary. 
The  balance  sheet  is  as  follows: 

On  hand  in  State  Treasury $  2.250.00 

Receipts   from   all   sources....' 40.504.21 

$43,054.21 
Expenditure     $41,205 .  62 

Actual   balance   in   Treasury  after  all 

bills  ?re  paid   $  1,848.59 

Action  was  taken  and  committees  appointed  to  re- 
vise and  reconstruct  the  premium  list,  both  in  rela- 
tion to  the  livestock  department  and  the  agricul- 
tural, horticultural  and  other  departments  where  the 
exhibits  are  displayed  in  the  Agricultural  Pavilion. 

A  committee  of  three  was  appointed  to  confer  with 
the  committee  from  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders'  Association  and  representatives  from 
Fresno,  Los  Angeles,  San  Jose,  Woodland.  Stockton 
and  other  breeding  centers,  with  a  view  of  arranging 
a  continuous  circuit  of  fairs  to  finally  conclude  with 
the  -State  Fair. 

An  effort  will  be  made  to  get  Mr.  McLaren,  super- 
intendent of  the  Golden  Gate  Park,  and  Professor  G. 
W.  Shaw  of  the  agricultural  department  of  the  State 
University,  to  visit  the  Agricultural  Park  and  deter- 
mine what  grasses  and  trees  would  be  best  adapted 
to  the  soil  and  most  suitable  for  the  fair  grounds 

A  resolution  was  adopted  which  changes  the  con- 
ditions of  all  future  Occident  and  Stanford  stakes 
so  that  horses  not  winning  a  heat  in  three  will  be 
sent  to  the  stable  but  retain  their  standing  in  the 
summary. 

The  secretary  was  instructed  to  correspond  with 
the  various  amateur  athletic  associations  with  a  view 
to  conducting  athletic  tournaments  during  the  fair, 
where  different  counties  will  be  represented  in  an 
inter-county  contest,  such  as  baseball,  gun  clubs  and 
the  like. 

Resolutions  were  adopted  to  revise  the  rules  relat- 
ing to  running  races  and  arrange  for  stake  races  for 
thoroughbreds. 

The  directors  visited  the  governor's  office  in  a  body 
to  report  to  him  their  financial  condition  and  to  get 
him.  if  possible,  to  give  to  them  such  portion  of  the 
$60,000  appropriation  made  by  the  last  Legislature, 
of  which  the  board  had  only  used  the  sum  of  $28,500, 
as  would  be  necessary  to  cover  the  deficit  that  was 
incurred  in  making  improvements  upon  the  new  fair 
grounds,  and  a  further  sum  sufficient  to  provide  for 
the  expenses  of  planting  grasses,  trees  and  painting, 
protecting  and  roofing  all  buildings  that  have  already 
been  constructed.  The  governor  expressed  himself  as 
being  pleased  with  the  manner  of  conducting  the  af- 
fairs of  the  society  this  year,  and  with  the  State 
Fair  itself.  He  signified  that  there  were  some  things 
that  he  might  have  done  a  little  differently  himself, 
but  as  a  whole  he  thought  it  was  a  very  creditable 
show  and  reflected  credit  upon  the  board,  and  he 
thought  it  was  a  long  step  toward  placing  the  affairs 
of  the  Agricultural  Society  of  California  on  a  basis 
where  they  would  rank  with  the  affairs  of  other  states 
in   the   East.

AMERICAN    BRED    DOGS. 

Editor    Breeder  and  Sportsman,   San  Francisco: 

Dear  Sir— My  attention  has  been  called  to  the  fact 

1,1 ntrlbutors  to  the  columns  of  your  valuable  pe- 

lica]    have    called    on    you    for    a    definition    as    to 

svhal    constitutes   an    "American- bred   dog.     In   order 

to    re ■■     all    doubl    on      the    subject,   I   -would   feel

iMi.h    hing   the  official  definition  of  the 

American    Kennel    Club,    and    thereby    removing    the 
existing   uncertainty. 

An   "American -bred"  dog   Is  the  progeny  of  a  .bitch

American-bred.     Bui   If  a   bitch  is  bought  in  a  for-

GUTS,    LEADERS    AND    LINES. 


"s   Napa   Soda   <hn-s  nol   tangle   the   Eeet. 


(Concluded   from  Last  Week.) 

The  history  of  the  fish  line  is  buried  in  the  for- 
gotten past,  but  mention  is  found  in  the  sacred  writ- 
ings of  "hooks,"  and  there  are  evidences  of  the 
"fisher"  in  Isaiah,  Chap.  19,  v.  IS,  "And  the  fisher 
shall  mourn  and  lament  and  those  that  cast  the 
hook  into  the  river."  Necessarily  the  hook  was  at- 
tached to  the  line,  or  how  could  it  be  cast  into  the 
river  for  fish  if  it  were  not?  The  earliest  mention  in 
English  literature  for  the  "lyne"  is  in  the  "Fyshing 
With  an  Angle,"  by  the  Prioress  of  St.  Albans,  Dame 
Juliana  Burnes  or  Berners,  whose  book  was  one  of 
the  earliest  printed  in  Britain  in  1496,  by  Wynkyn 
de  Worde.  She  also  used  colored  lines.  She  says. 
"After  that  ye  have  made  thus  your  rodde,  ye  muste 
lerne  to  coloure '  your  lynes  of  here  (hair)  in  this 
wyse.  Fyrste  ye  must  take  of  a  whyte  horse  tayla 
the  lengest  (longest)  haire  and  fayrest  (fairest)  ye 
can  finde  Ever  the  rounder  the  better  if  is.  De- 
part (separate)  in  five  parts,  and  every  parte  ye 
shall  coloure  by  hymself  in  dyvers  colours,  as  yal- 
lowe,  browne,  tawney,  russett  and  duske,  and  to 
make  a  good  coloure  to  your  heere  (hair)  ye  shall 
do  it  thus."  The  good  dame  here  proceeds  to  give 
recipes  in  which  "small  ale"  and  alum,  and  "cope- 
rose"  (copperas)  and  verdigris  are  ingredients.  Her 
recipe  for  staining  the  hair  line  is  as  follows: 

"Take  smalle  ale  a  potell  (two  quarts)  and  stampe 
three  handfulls  of  walnut  leaves,  and  put  togidir, 
and  put  in  your  heir  (hair)  till  it  be  as  depe  as  ye 
woll  have  it." 

For  a  russet  color  she  recommends  "stronge  lye — 
a  pynt,  halfe  a  pound  of  sote  (soot)  and  a  leetle 
juice  of  walnut  leaves  and  a  quart  of  alum,  and  put 
all  togyder  and  boyle  theym  welle." 

What  kind  of  results  she  obtained  after  this  opera- 
tion of  "boylling"  can  be  surmised.  There  are  five 
other  prescriptions  equally  extraordinary,  and  all 
intended  for  horsehair  lines  of  different  colors  for 
different  seasons  of  the  year. 

It  is  a  fact  that  until  quite  recently  the  fly-lines  of 
many  of  the  best  English  trout  fishermen  had  hair 
woven  in  them  with  the  silk,  and  the  buoyancy  of 
these  lines  in  the  water  and  the  ease  with  which 
they  could  be  cast  I  can  testify  to  from  actual  ex- 
perience. To  this  day  a  Scotchman  in  Montreal 
makes  hair  leaders  twisted  for  bass  fishing,  and  his 
best  customers  will  take  nothing  else  because  of  the 
elasticity  of  the  hair  of  the  "white  stallion's"  tail. 
In  the  south  of  England  many  trout  fishermen  use 
the  hair  from  a  brown  stallion's  tail,  just  as  the 
modern    angler    uses    drawn    gut. 

The  good  dame  of  St.  Albans  gives  a  rough  wood 
cut  of  a  machine  for  making  the  lines  she  talks  of 
I  have  seen  the  original  copy  in  the  British  Musearn 
of  this  "Treatysse"  and  the  machine  looks  like  en 
old  Indian  bow  rather  than  a  weaving  or  braiding 
machine.  The  modern  braider  is  of  course  a  very 
ingenious  arrangement  of  spindles  which  converge 
to  a  center  and  carry  the  thread  of  silk  or  flax  from 
which  the  line  is  made.  Some  of  the  Nottingham 
silk  lines  are  very  fine  and  of  exquisite  make,  and 
many  of  the  line-makers,  such  as  the  Natchaug  Com- 
pany of  America,  are  unexcelled  in  their  manufac- 
ture. A  good  silk  braided  line  is  facile  princeps, 
and  not  to  be  beat.  It  is  superfluous  to  name  the 
many  makes  on  the  market.  Every  angler  knows 
where  to  get  a  good  line  at  a  moderate  price. 

At  intervals  there  have  been  inventions  of  original 
lines  put  on  the  market,  both  in  England  and  Amer- 
ica. The  Foster  Bros,  produced  what  was  termed 
the  Acme  line  some  25  years  ago  and  I  have  fished 
with  this  line  with  much  satisfaction.  It  was  made 
of  the  finest  braided  silk  on  the  outsida  and  inside 
was  a  core  of  copper  wire.  This  device  rendered  the 
line  somewhat  stiff er  and  less  liable  to  kink  and 
heavier  for  the  size  than  the  ordinary  line  and 
easier  to  cast  in  a  wind.  One  could  also  cast  farther 
with  the  same  amount  of  force  extended  with  the 
"Acme"  than  with  the  braided  silk  line  Quite  re- 
cently there  has  been  patented  a  braided  copper  line 
with  a  core  of  silk  thread,  which  is  the  exact  oppo- 
site of  the  "Acme"  line.  This  line  is  stiff  and  heavy 
and  designed  for  deep  water  trolling,  no  sinker  being 
needed.  I  have  tried  it  in  a  deep  New  England  lake 
near  Winsted  and  find  it  works  very  well  and  takes 
the  bait  down  satisfactorily.  Whether  it  will  be 
popular  or  not  I  am  not  in  a  position  to  say.  It  fills 
a  want  in  deep  water  trolling  for  lake  trout  which 
certainly  exists  and  probably  will  have  a  ready  sale 
to  those  who  do  not  care  for  the  hard  work  of  the 
heavy  sinker. 

The  dressing  of  a  silk  line,  especially  what  is 
termed  enameling,  is  a  fine  art  and  there  are  many 
methods  too  numerous  to  describe.  One  of  the  sim- 
plest is  boiled  oil  (linseed)  and  though  it  takes  a 
long  time  to  dry  it  certainly  is  a  preservative  of  the 
first  class.  A  rough-and-ready  one  is  paraffme  wax 
with  the  addition  of  10  per  cent  of  white  resin.  This 
is  heated  to  melting  point  and  the  line  allowed  to 
simmer  for  a  short  time  in  it.  It  is  then  run  rapidly 
through  a  clean  linen  rag  and  in  a  few  minutes  the 
line  is  ready  for  use  and  acts  very  satisfactorily  for 
quite  ;i  period  of  use.  after  which  the  treatment  can 
be  repeated  without  detriment  to  the  line,  providing 
the  heal  of  the  solution  be  not  too  great,  when  the 
line  is  immersed.     Mr.  Henry  P.  Wells,   in  his  "Fly- 


rods  and  Fly-tackle,"  gives  the  following  dr 
for  lines:  "Heat  two  ounces  of  linseed  oil  ui 
will  singe  a  feather  dipped  in  it.  Melt  in  ani 
thoroughly  with  it  a  piece  of  camphor  the  size 
hazelnut;  stir  in  an  equal  proportion  of  good 
varnish.  Soak  the  line  in  the  mixture  while  tht 
ter  is  warm,  until  thoroughly  saturated.  Then  d 
the  line  through  the  fold  of  a  double  leather  (c 
mois)  and  pressed  closely  upon  it  to  squeeze  outi 
the  dressing  you  can.  Stretch  in  a  garret  or  sinr 
place  to  dry.  This  will  take  several  days  accorc 
to  weather.  When  dry,  warm  your  mixture  and  s 
again.  Squeeze  with  the  leather  as  before, 
this  is  dry  rub  on  a  third  coat  with  a  rag  and  w 
the  line  afterwards.  When  the  coat  is  thorougi 
dry,  rub  well  with  piece  of  parafnne  from  oneT 
to  the  other  and  then  polish  the  line  briskly  w: 
woolen  rag."  This  process  takes  quite  a  long 
but  it  is  worth  while.  No  second  coat  must  be 
plied    until    its   predecessor   is   thoroughly   dry. 

A  first-class  dressing  is  given  by  Thad  Norris 
one  of  his  books  quoting  mainly  from  an  old  Eng 
authority.  Here  is  the  recipe:  "To  a  quarter 
pint  of  double-boiled  cold  drawn  linseed  oil  adj 
ounce  of  good  size.  Gently  warm  and  mix  well, 
ing  careful  to  have  the  line  quite  dry.  Soak  it 
this  mixture  till  it  is  thoroughly  saturated,  say 
24  hours.  Then  pass  it  through  a  piece  of  flan 
pressing  it  sufficiently  to  take  off  the  superficial  c 
which  enables  that'  which  is  in  the  interior  to 
well  and  in  time  to  get  stiff.  The  line  must  be  h- 
up  in  the  air,  wind  and  sun.  out  of  the  reach  of  mt 
ture  for  a  fortnight  till  quite  dry  or  nearly  so,  w 
it  must  be  redipped  to  give  an  outer  coat  for  wl 
less  soaking  is  necessary.  After  this  wipe  it  ag: 
but  lightly.  Wind  on  a  towel  horse  before  a  hot 
for  two  or  three  hours,  which  will  cause  the  mixt 
on  it  to  "flow"  (as  the  Japanese  term  it)  and  g 
an  even  gloss  to  the  whole  line  It  must  then  be 
to  dry  and  harden  as  before*  and  the  length  of 
final  exposure  depends  on  the  weather  and  place, 
should  be  of  sufficient  length  of  time." 

A  process  to  which  I  have  resorted  (and  it 
tirely  my  own  idea)  is  the  placing  of  the  mi: 
whatever  it  may  be,  under  the  receiver  of  an 
pump,  so  that  the  vacuum  may  draw  out  all  the 
in  the  line  and  mixture  and  compel  the 
penetration  of  the  dressing.  The  time  for  this  i 
termined  by  the  thickness  of  the  line,  but  the  pr 
should  not  be  hurried  and  should  be  repeated  ai 
each  coating  till  at  least  four  coatings  have  b 
given  and  dried  and  treated  in  the  usual  way. 

Although    I    have   given    the    process   I   have 
most  useful  in  line  dressing,  I  frankly  confess  t 
prefer  buying  an   enameled  line  at   ten   cents  a  y 
to  going  to  the  trouble  of  dressing  it  myself. 

Texture  in  the  line  is  the  next  consideration, 
though  last  it  is  not  the  least.  It  is  all-import 
when  one  is  by  the  waterside,  and  begins  to  be  p 
ticular  about  his  fishing  gear.  The  slightest  fla^\ 
then  a  great  one,  and  though  the  line  may  seem'p 
feet  in  the  tackle  shop  where  it  was  bought  yet  wl 
it  comes  to  be  used  it  discloses  its  real  nature  wi 
out  fail.  It  seems  finical  to  be  so  exact,  but  a  g 
line  is  a  possession  which  needs  to  be  much  val 
when  once  acquired.  It  must,  in  the  first  place, 
not  too  light  or  too  thick.  The  strength  should 
compatible  with  the  thickness.  This  is  a  matter 
judgment  of  course,  and  depends  on  the  weight  of 
rod  and  leader,  and  the  fish  one  expects  to  angle 
The  old  horsehair  line  was  thought  the  best  at 
time  on  account  of  its  elasticity  and  buoyancy  in 
air  and  on  the  water.  Suddenly,  however,  after  a 
ing  in  use  for  all  the  centuries  since  the  fifteenth 
struck  the  fishermen  that  it  was  wrong  and  ine 
cient.  Prickly  ends  of  horsehair  stuck  out  all  o 
it,  and  it  had  a  way  of  fraying  which  was,  to' 
the  least  of  it,  annoying.  What  was  to  be  done? 
could  not  be  dressed  or  varnished.  That  would  m 
it  too  heavy,  so  some  other  material  was  souj 
Hemp  was  tried.  It  fell  on  the  water  as  a  fly  ] 
with  sufficient  lightness,  but  it  would  not  last  lo 
It  soon  perished  and  was  finally  discarded.  Tl 
appeared  the  silk  line  woven  in  the  hair  and  an 
tempt  at  dressing  the  resulting  combination  ' 
made.  It  did  not  work  and  the  line  makers  m 
further  experiments.  They  soon  found  that  the  lig 
ness  so  sought  for  from  long  time  ago  was  not  re* 
what  was  wanted.  So  a  silk  line  was  braided  i 
dressed  with  boiled  oil,  and  it  was  less  liable  to  ti 
gle  in  the  air,  and  besides  its  extra  weight  made 
very  much  easier  to  propel  through  the  air 
that  did  not  seem  to  dawn  on  the  ancient  angle; 
took  hundreds  of  years  to  bring  about  this  evol 
Why  it  did  not  occur  before  is  due  to  the  fact,  p 
haps,  that  there  did  not  seem  to  be  any  necessity 
change  in  the  accepted  order  of  things.  The  sill 
as  it  is  seems  to  be  the  best  possible,  especially 
we  take  weeks  and  even  months  to  enamel  it 
it?  It  is  only  because  we  cannot  see  what  may 
going  on  in  the  years  to  come  that  we  think  eve 
thing  is  the  best  now.  At  least,  there  is  no  wr<[ 
in  questioning  whether  or  not  we  have  the  pert) 
line.  Some  have  sworn  by  the  hollow  line,  but 
literary  experts  who  write  on  fishing  have  prono 
for  the  solid  line,  saying,  "the  objection  to  the  hi 
line  is  this  that  should  a  Haw  or  bruise  assai 
the  water  instantly  finds  its  way  into  the  tube 
it  is  not  long  before  the  line  is  rotten,  notwithstai 
ing  every,  care  taken  to  dry  it.  The  thin  and  scl 
line  is  the  one  that  cuts  through  the  air,  and  if  it 
vacuum  dressed  in  boiled  oil  it  will  certainly  sati 
the  most  fastidious.  But  another  question  ari 
which' is  not  easy  to  answer.  Whether  it  is

line  is  certainly  a  better  line  to  cast  than  the  \} 
which  is  the  same  thickness  from  end  to  end.  M0)1, 
over,  the  leader  being  thinner  than  the  line  tap ( 
the  end  of  the  line,  and  there  is  no  reason  why 
line  should  not  also  be  tapered.     That  is  also  a  m<

extension  of  the  principle.  It  certainly  is  better  to 
cast,  but  only  when  the  wind  is  with  it,  and  here  :s 
the  flaw  in  the  theory.  Practice  shows  that  with  the 
wind  it  is  easy  to  cast  a  long  line  tapered.  But  the 
solid  and  even  line  from  end  to  end  will  go  with  the 
wind  and  against  it,  without  much  difficulty.  Again, 
a  tapered  line  spoils  the  action  of  the  finest  rod.  A 
rod  that  will  cast  the  solid  line  will  seldom  perform 
as  well  with  the  tapered  line.  Salmon  fishermen 
sometimes  use  them  for  down-stream  winds,  but  I 
recommend  at  all  times  the  solid,  even  gauge  line  for 
ordinary  angling. 

To  preserve  a  fine  lins  from  decay  so  that  it  shall 
not  break  unreasonably  soon,  it  is  well  to  dry  it  on 
each  return  from  fishing,  taking  it  from  the  reel  with 
care  and  unfolding  it  on  a  chair  in  a  dry,  warm 
room.  It  is  astonishing  how  different  lines  are  in 
their  durability.  Those  of  the  best  silk  will  last  for 
a  decade  and  those  that  have  any  admixture  of  flax 
will  last  even  longer,  Indeed,  the  most  lasting  line 
for  both  salt  and  fresh  water  is  unquestionably  a  flax 
1  or  linen  line  little" braided  or  twisted  as  the  case  may 
be.  When  the  line  shows  the  least  fraying  or  break- 
ing of  the  enamel  it  should  not  be  used  again  until 
it  has  been  redressed.  This  can  be  done  with  white 
paraffine  wax  melted  and  a  little  resin  of  the  whitest 
dropped  into  the  wax  when  well  melted.  On  the 
whole  and  to  sum  up  the  whole  line  question  the  only 
wise  thing  to  do  is — buy  a  thoroughly  good  line  01 
not  more  than  300  feet  and  see  that  you  get  pure 
silk  and  that  the  dressing  is  '  pliable  and  not  stiff 
Unless  enameled  by  the  vacuum  process  it  is  likely 
to   be   so. 


THE   QUAILS  OF  THE   UNITED  STATES. 


Duck   Shooting    on   the    Susquehanna. 

Duck  hunting  conditions  in  the  East  are  not  such 
as  would  be  much  relished  by  members  of  any  of  the 
gun  clubs  having  preserves  on  the  Suisun  or  other 
good  duck  shooting  marshes.  The  following  account 
of  the  sport  in  a  famous  hunting  district  is  given  by 
a  Philadelphia  paper,  from  which  it  will  be  seen  that 
Coast  sportsmen  have,  for  the  present,  much  the  best 
of  the  duck  situation: 

No  outdoor  sport  with  a  gun  exceeds  in  exhilaration 
the  shooting  of  ducks  on  the  famous  flats  of  the  Sus- 
quehanna river.  The  season  of  this  pastime  of  the  man 
of  wealth  and  occupation  of  the  professional  market 
gunner  is  fast  approaching,  and  on  November  1st  the 
liiltle  town  of  Havre  de  Grace,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Susquehanna,  midway  between  Baltimore  and  Wil- 
mington, will  be  the  mecca  of  hundreds  of  sportsmen 
in  search  of  ducks.  The  prospects  for  a  season's 
shooting  were  never  better  and  despite  the  recent 
warm  weather  myriads  of  ducks  have  been  seen  hov- 
ering over  the  river  flats. 

The  season  prescribed  by  law  extends  from  Novem- 
ber 1st  to  March  31st,  the  shooting  days  being  Mon- 
day, Wednesday  and  Friday  until  January  1st,  when 
Saturday  will  be  added.  The  shooting  of  ducks  on  the 
Susquehanna  flats  has  developed  into  a  great  industry 
.and  while  the  number  of  daily  gunners  average  about 
600  there  seems  to  be  no  end  to  the  feathery  tribe 
and  unless  the  sportsman  fails  to  get  a  good  bag  it  is 
for  the  reason  that  he  does  not  know  how  to  go  about 
his  business. 

There  are  four  ways  of  getting  ducks  on  the  Sus- 
quehanna fiats.  The  most  approved  method  is  shoot- 
ing from  a  sink  box.  This  is  a  coffin  shaped  boat 
with  extending  platforms,  that  sinks  into  the  water 
until  the  platforms  rest  on  the  surface.  The  hunter 
sits  in  the  receptacle  until  the  birds  fiy^within  range, 
when  he  rises  to  a  standing  or  a  kneeling  position 
and  fires. 

A  second  method  is  by  sneak  or  bushwhacking 
boats.  These  are  row  boats,  generally  covered  with 
either  canvas  or  bushes,  behind  which  the  hunter  sits 
and  glides  down  on  a  flock  of  feeding  birds.  The 
same  idea  is  carried  out  by  blind  shooting  along  the 
shores. 

The  difference  between  the  hunting  of  the  profes- 
sional and  of  the  amateur  is  very  marked.  The  latter, 
with  a  party  of  friends,  has  reached  Havre  de  Grace, 
say,  the  night  before  the  opening  of  the  season.  He 
goes  aboard  his  private  yacht  and  during  the  night 
the  craft  glides  down  the  Susquehanna  river  and  on 
toward  the  flats. 

The  gunner  is  rolled  up  in  blankets  below  deck 
dreaming  of  myriads  of  slaughtered  ducks.  There  is 
a  terrible  racket  all  around  him  early  in  the  morning 
and  as  he  springs  out  of  his  bunk,  the  thought  dawns 
upon  him  that  the  season  is  on  and  that  he  was  not 
on  hand  to  fire  the  first  shot. 

In  a  jiffy  he  is  dressed,  and  with  his  friends  sits 
down  to  a  breakfast  of  buckwheat  cakes  and  sausage. 
It  is  queer,  but  every  duck  hunter  eats  buckwheat 
cakes  and  sausage  for  breakfast.  MJeanwhile  the  cap- 
tain has  anchored  a  sink-box  and  strung  out  a  couple 
of  hundred  of  decoy  ducks.  The  gunner  places  him- 
self in  the  sink-box  and  awaits  his  game. 

The  duck  makes  the  gunner  wait  for  him.  If,  per- 
iance,  he  should  get  within  shooting  distance,  he 
ust  be  mighty  quick  with  the  gran  or  the  chances 
e  that  he  will  lose  six  cents  worth  of  powder  and 
ot.  not  to  speak  of  the  bird.  It  happens  that  in 
any  instances  the  amateur  sits  in  his  box  and  waits, 
d  after  waiting  a  long  time,  takes*  a  drink.  This 
ie  does  several  times,  and  after  firing  his  gun  a  half 
zen  times  at  a  flock  of  birds  fifty  yards  out  of  range 
e  gets  disgusted  and,  signalling  his  yacht,  is  taken 
oard.  The  day's  sport  may  have  cost  him  $50. 
his  picture  is  not  overdrawn.  On  the  opening  day 
the  season  on  the  Susquehanna  last  year  two  ama- 
urs  who  occupied  a  sink-box  shot  during  the  day 
hot  only  three  pairs  of  blackheads  and  two  pairs  of 
redheads.  Another  man,  disgusted  and  bound  for 
home,  carrying  one  little  "mudhen"  or  crow  duck,  the 
most  despised  of  the  duck  family,  was  seen  at  the 
railroad  station  at  Havre  de  Grace.  He  said  the  bird 
he  carried  had  cost  him  $100. 


Bulletin  No.  26  of  the  Bureau  of  Biological  Survey. 
United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  by  Sylvester 
D.  Judd,  assistant,  Biological  Survey. 

Introduction. —  The  quails  of  the  United  States,  be- 
cause of  their  interesting  habits  and  marvelous  di- 
versity of  form  and  color,  are  a  notably  attractive 
group.  All  are  handsome  birds,  but  the  most  striking 
and  beautiful  species  live  in  the  Southwest  and  on 
the  Pacific  Coast.  Seven  species  occur  within  our 
borders,  but  only  one  in  the  Eastern  States.  The 
others  are  widely  distributed  from  Texas  to  Cali- 
fornia and  Oregon.  Their  range  was,  and  still  is,  con- 
tinuous along  the  entire  southern  border  of  the  coun- 
try from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific;  but  there  is-  an 
irregular  belt  along  the  northern  border  and  a  large 
area  in  the  interior,  comprising  the  Great  Plains,  the 
northern  three-fourths  of  the  Great  Basin,  and  the 
Rocky  Mountains,  in  which  they  appear  to  have  been 
originally   wanting. 

With  few  exceptions  our  quails  welcome  the  exten- 
sion of  agriculture,  and  the  added  food  supply  in 
farmed  areas  results  in  an  increase  of  their  numbers. 
This  is  equally  true  of  the  bobwhite  of  the  East,  and 
of  some  of  the  desert  species  of  the  West.  So  fully 
does  the  bobwhite  appreciate  the  advantages  of  the 
farm  that  its  range  has  increased  with  the  extension 
of  the  cultivated  area,  especially  west  of  the  Miss- 
issippi. 

The  quails,  because  of  their  cheerful  habits,  their 
beauty,  and  their  value  as  food,  are  usually  welcome 
on  the  farm;  but  their  real  value  to  agriculture  is  not 
yet  generally  understood.  The  investigations  of  the 
Biological  Survey  show  that  these  birds,  with  rare 
exceptions,  are  not  only  harmless,  but  that  usually 
they  are  very  useful  to  agriculture.  This  is  particu- 
larly true  of  the  bobwhite,  which  constantly  feeds  on 
injurious  weed  seeds  and  insects,  and  thus  renders 
valuable  service  to  the  farmer.  In  return  for  this 
good  service  it  is  but  fair  that  these  birds  should  be 
treated   with   friendly   care   and   interest. 

The  well-known  bobwhite  is  the  only  quail  indig- 
enous to  the  Eastern  United  States,  where  it  ranges 
from  southern  New  England  to  Florida  and  Texas ; 
but  owing  to  climatic  influences  the  birds  of  Florida 
and  of  Texas  differ  enough  to  be  distinguished  as 
geographic  races.  Wherever  it  occurs,  however,  the 
bobwhite  has  the  same  call,  and  varies  but  little  in 
habits.  A  closely  related  bird,  the  masked  bobwhitx. 
Inhabited  southern  Arizona  until  within  a  few  years. 
Owing  to  dry  seasons  and  the  overstocking  of  its  home 
with  cattle,  this  bird  is  now  supposed  to  be  extinct 
within  our  borders;  but  some  probably  exist  in  parts 
of  Sonora,  Mexico. 

Although  bob  whites  are  handsome  birds,  yet  they 
are  the  plainest  quail  in  the  United  States  except 
'  cotton  top"  or  scaled  quail  of  the  desert  of  southern 
Texas  r/nd  Arizona.  The  latter  is  slaty  bluish  on  the 
upper  parts,  w'hich  are  ornamented  with  large  scale- 
like markings,  and  has  a  whitish  crest. 

The  most  bizarre  and  curious  of  all  is  the  Mearns 
quail  of  the  high,  broken  plains  and  mountain  slopes 
of  southwestern  Texas,  southern  New  Mexico  and 
Arizona,  It  is  short  and  round  bodied,  like  a  little 
guinea  hen,  and  this  superficial  likeness  is  increased 
by  brilliant,  round,  white  spots  ornamenting  the  dark 
sides.  It  is  the  gentlest  of  all  the  quails  and  is  so 
unsuspicious  that  when  a  person  encounters  one  it 
often  walk  unconcernedly  about  or  stands  looking 
curiously  at  the  newcomer,  when  it  is  not  infre- 
quently killed  with  a  stick  or  stone,  a  characteristic 
which,  among  the  people  where  it  lives,  has  earned 
for  it  the  name  of  "Fool  Quail." 

The  Gambel  quail  is  a  habitant  of  the  southwestern 
desert  region,  where  it  ranges  the  brushy  foothills 
and  the  valleys  along  water  courses.  It  is  a  beauti- 
ful bird,  the  head  handsomely  marked  and  adorned 
with  a  jet-black  recurving  crest,  and  the  flanks'  bright 
chestnut,  brilliantly  streaked  with  white.  This  quail, 
one  of  the  most  conspicuous  and  pleasing  forms  of 
desert  life,  is  numerous-  wherever  it  can  find  suffi- 
cient food  and  water.  For  ages  it  has  claimed  many 
a  remote  watering  place  as  its  own,  but  it  welcomes 
the  settler  and  finds  additional  shelter  and  food  in 
his  irrigated  fields.  Under  the  new  conditions  its 
numbers  increase  and  it  repays  the  favors  received 
by  becoming  semi-domesticated.  Its  presence  adds  a 
touch  of  bright  color  and  animation  to  the  dreary  sur- 
roundings of  many  a  lonely  desert  ranch. 

The  California  walley  quail  belongs  entirely  to  the 
Pacific  coast,  and  probably  is  the  most  beautiful  of 
the  smaller  gallinaceous  birds  of  the  world.  It  re- 
sembles the  Gambel  quail  in  its  recurving  black  crest 
and  general  appearance,  but  exceeds  that  bird  in  the 
richness  of  its  colors  and  markings.  It  is  abundant 
in  most  parts  of  California. 

The  California  mountain  quail,  the  largest  and 
one  of  the  handsomest  of  this  group,  inhabits  the 
wooded  mountains  of  the  Pacific  coast,  and  bears  a 
superficial  resemblance  to  the  red-legged  partridge 
of  Europe.  Like  the  Mearns  quail,  its  haunts  are 
usually  more  remote  from  cultivated  lands  than  are 
those  of  the  other  species. 

The  services  to  agriculture  of  the  western  quails, 
while  in  most  cases  appreciable,  are  far  less  valuable 
than  those  of  bobwhite,  mainly  because  the  birds  are 
much  less  insectivorous.  Moreover,  the  California 
valley  quail  sometimes   damages   the   grape   crop. 

The  value  of  a  single  game  bird  is  of  course  small, 
and  it  is  from  this  narrow  point  of  view  that  its  re- 
lation to  the  community  is  usually  considered.  When, 
however,  the  value  of  any  important  species  is 
worked  out  the  result  is  surprising.  It  has  been  con- 
clusively demonstrated  that  in  Virginia  and  North 
Carolina  alone  the  common  quail  annually  destroys 
many  tons  of  noxious  insects  and  weed  seeds.  The 
great  value  of  this  service  must  be  apparent  to  alJ 
who    appreciate    the    never-ending    warfare    between 


the  farmer  and  his  hydra-headed  enemies,  the  insects 
and  weeds.  The  food  value  also  of  the  quail  is  great, 
and  the  health  and  pleasure  derived  from  their  pur- 
suit has  resulted  in  the  investment  of  millions  of 
dollars.  When  it  is  generally  understood  that  by 
judicious  effort  the  numbers  of  these  useful  birds 
may  be  greatly  increased,  with  a  proportionate  bene- 
fit to  all  concerned,  it  is  hoped  that  efforts  to  this 
end   will   not  be  long  delayed. 

The  Bobwhite — (Colinus  virginianus).  The  name  is 
used  here  in  its  broad  sense  to  cover  the  typical  bird 
of  the  Eastern  States  (C.  virginianus),  and  the  two 
sub-species,  the  Florida  bobwhite  (C.  v.  floridamus) 
and    the    Texas   bobwhite    (C.    v.    texanus). 

The  bobwhite  is  one  of  the  most  widely  distributed 
and  popular  game  birds  of  the  United  States,  but  In 
many  places  it  is  suffering  ruthless  extermination. 
Sportsmen,  farmers,  legislators,  and  ornithologists,  as 
well  as  the  friends  of  birds  in  general,  should  interest 
themselves  in  the  problem  of  its  preservation.  In  the 
Northern.  Western,  and  Middle  States,  it  is  commonly 
known  as  "quail,"  in  the  Southern  States  as  "par- 
tridge." This  tends  to  confusion,  since  in  New  Eng- 
land and  northern  New  York  the  name  "partridge" 
is  commonly  applied  to  the  ruffled  grouse.  Both  names 
were  brought  to  America  by  English  colonists  from 
their  Old  World  homes,  where  they  are  applied  to 
species  not  originally  inhabiting  this  continent.  The 
name  "bobwhite"  is  from  the  familiar  call  note  of  the 
bird. 

In  some  of  its  characteristics  bobwhite  differs  strik- 
ingly from  other  members  of  the  family.  For  ex- 
ample, the  crest — a  well-developed  adornment  of  sev- 
eral closely  related  American  quails — in  bobwhite  is 
invisible   except  when  the  bird  is  excited. 

The  common  bobwhite  ranges  more  or  less  gener- 
ally over  the  eastern  half  of  the  United  States  and 
southern  Ontario,  except  in  the  colder,  mountainous 
parts,  from  southern  Maine  to  northern  Florida,  and 
west  to  South  Dakota.  Nebraska,  Kansas  and  Texas. 
In  addition,  colonies  have  been  introduced  .and  found 
to  thrive  in  various  localities  in  Colorado,  New  Mex- 
ico, Utah,  Idaho,  California,  Oregon,  Washington  and 
the  island  of  Jamaica.  South  of  the  home  of  the 
typical  bird,  just  outlined,  bobwhites  have  a  wider 
range,  occupying  Florida,  western  and  southern  Texas. 
Cuba,  and  a  large  part  of  Mexico,  and  extending  even 
beyond  the  border  of  Guatemala.  Owing  chiefly  to 
climatic  influences  the  southern  birds  differ  more  or 
less  from  the  northern  ones.  The  masked  bobwhite 
(Colinus  ridgway),  a  closely  related  but  separated 
species,  once  lived  in  extreme  southern  Arizona  and 
the  adjoining  part  of  Sonora,  but  now  it  is  probably 
extinct  within  our  borders.  With  this  exception  all 
of  the  bobwhites  from  Canada  to  Guatemala  and 
Cuba,  according  to  E.  W.  Nelson,  belong  to  a  single 
species  modified  by  environment  into  a  considerable 
number  of  forms,  some  of  which  are  strikingly  dif- 
ferent from  the  birds  of  the  United  States.  The 
Florida  bobwhite,  which  is  peculiar  to  the  peninsula 
of  Florida,  is  smaller  and  darker  than  the  northern 
bird.  The  Texas  bobwhite  of  western  Texas  and 
northeastern  Mexico  is  about  the  same  size  as  the 
northern  one,  but  is  paler  and  has  a  light  rufous  col- 
lar below  the  black  band  and  bordering  the  white 
throat  patch.  The  Salvin  bobwhite  from  the  southern 
border  of  Mexico  is  very  unlike  the  common  bird  of 
the  United  States,  most  of  the  head,  neck  and  breast 
being  plain  black  and  the  rest  of  the  underparts  plain 
rufous. 

The  present  account  is  limited  to  the  bobwhites  of 
the  United  States,  including  the  Texas  and  Florida 
forms. 

In  the  field  the  nuptial  call  note  of  the  cockbird  is 
an  infallible  guide  to  its  identity.  This  familiar  chal- 
lenge, sounding  to  the  sportsman  like  "bob  white," 
"bob-bob  white,"  and  to  the  farmer  like  "more  wet" 
or  "no  more  wet,"  is  by  no  means  the  only  note  of 
the  species-  during  the  breeding  season.  It  was  the 
good  fortune  of  the  writer  during  the  last  week  of 
June,  1902,  to  hear  the  nesting  note  and  other  calls. 
Again  and  again  the  cock  left  his  distant  perch,  where 
he  had  been  whistling  "bob  white,"  and,  still  calli^s-. 
approached  the  nest  on  the  bank  of  a  little  sluggidh 
briery  run  between  open  fields.  When  within  fifty 
yards  of  his  mate  he  uttered  the  rally  note,  so  thrill- 
ing to  the  sportsman  in  the  fall,  ''ka-loi-kee,"  which 
the  hen  often  answered  with  a  single  clear  whistle. 
Then  followed  a  series  of  queer  responsive  "cater- 
waulings,"  more  unbirdlike  than  those  of  the  yellow- 
breasted  chat,  suggesting  now  the  call  of  a  cat  to  its 
kittens,  now  scolding  of  a  caged  gray  squirrel,  now 
the  alarming  notes  of  a  mother  grouse  blended  with 
the  strident  cry  of  the  guinea  hen.  As  a  finale  some- 
times came  a  loud  rasping  noise,  not  unlike  the  effort 
of  a  broken-voiced  whip-poor-will.  The  favorite  call- 
ing stations  were  rail  fences  at  a  height  from  5  to 
10  feet,  and  the  limbs  of  trees  along  fence  rows.  One 
bird  whistled  in  a  tulip  tree  at  least  35  feet  from  the 
ground.  After  the  breeding  season  the  bird  discon- 
tinues  this   characteristic   call. 

The  notes  of  the  bobwhite  in  fall  and  winter  havt. 
been  described  by  many  writers.  On  one  occasion  the 
writer  watched  a  bobwhite  whistling  from  a  fence 
rail  10  feet  away.  At  such  close  range  the  whistle 
lost  all  its  melody  and  became  a  nasal  shriek  which 
was  almost  painful  to  the  ear.  It  was  repeated  on  an 
verage  five  or  six  times  a  mi  lute  and  consisted  of 
either  two  or  three  notes,  of  which  the  first  was  so 
low  as  to  be  inaudible  a  hundred  yards  away,  and  the 
last  was  strikingly  louder.  The  mode  of  delivery  was 
peculiar,  sitting  in  a  normal,  erect  position,  the  bird 
emitted  the  first  note,  then  depressing  the  tip  of  the 
bill  almost  to  touch  its  breast,  with  a  motion  as 
though  hiccoughing,  it  gave  the  second,  then  throwing 
back  its  head  and  pointing  its  bill  skyward  it  utter- 
ed the  explosive,   far-reaching1  third   note. 

The  nesting  time  of  bobwhite  in  each  section  of  the 
bird's   range    is    usually    limited    to   a    fairly    well    de-

developed  into  an  enthusiastic  field  trial  devotee  He 
Reposes  to  run  within  a  week  or  two  a  field  trial  for 
Eastern  Washington  Pointers  and  Setteis. 

Mr.  Wieseman  says  in  a  communication :

to  anyone  who  wants  to  enter  a  dog  in  the  proposed 

This  is  the  first  year  for  my  bitch  at  field  trials. 
She  was  whelped  in  Spokane  in  January,  1904.  The 
Vancouver,  B.  C,  Derby  was  run  on  Chinese  pheas- 
ants and  Roddy  had  only  s'x  weeks'  work  with  them, 
but  she  defeated  20  of  the  best  dogs  of  California, 
Washington  and  British  Columbia.  From  there  she 
was  taken  to  Whidby  island  and  given  only  two 
weeks'  work  on  bob  white  quail,  and  ran  against  12

Bench   Show  at   Pasadena. 

The  Southwestern  Kennel  Club  has  been  granted 
dates  for  a  bench  show  at  Pasadena— Wednesday  and 
Thursday,  December  13th  and  14th. 

The  time  selected  and  the  location,  it  strikes  us, 
are  most  apropos.  The  last  show  in  Los  Angeles 
was  a  big  social  function  and  there  is  no  reason 
why  the  two  day  show  at  Pasadena— barring  exceed- 
ingly inclement  weather,  which  is  a  remote  proba- 
bility—should not  he  a  successful  affair  with  a  large 
entry  of  dogs. 


Duck   Hunting    Excellent. 

Since  the  15th  inst  the  duck  hunters  have  had 
splendid  shooting  in  almost  all  sections  of  this  state,  I 
Local  shooters  who  have  hunted  in  the  bay  counties 
marshes  have  brought  excellent  bags  of  birds  to  the' 
city  on  their  return.  Canvasbacks  are  also  in  evi- 
dence, to  quite  an  extent,  a  rather  unusual  feature 
thus  early  in  the  season.  The  season  thus  far  is  one 
of  the  best,  for  ducks,  in  years. 

Weather  conditions  have  worked  against  the  quail 
hunters,  the  country  being  dry  and  dusty.  A  good 
rain,  however,  will  bring  a  change  in  favor  of  the 
upland  shooter. 


Pacific   Coast   Field  Trials. 

\V.  J.  Baughn  of  Ridgeville,  Ind.,  has  accepted  the 
Invitation  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials  Club,  to 
Judge  at  the  club's  coming  trials  next  January.  Mr. 
Baughn  is  well  known  on  the  Eastern  circuit  as  an 
able  and  painstaking  judge.  He  has  also  been  for 
,.ast  a  breeder  of  high  class  and  winning  Eng- 
lish Sett.rs.  Mr.  Baughn  had  declined  all  invitations 
from  Eastern  clubs  for  this  year,  and  the  coast  club 
is  to  be  congratulated   upon  acquiring  his  services. 

The  second  forfeit,  $5,  for  the  Derby,  will  be  due 
and  i ■■'■•  tble  on  November  1st.  Indications  point  to 
a  large  percentage  of  the  entries  made  qualifying  with 
the  Becond   payment. 

The  trials  will  be  run  ihis  year  on  the  same  grounds 
thai  nere  the  seen,-  <>f  the  club's  twenty-second  an- 
nual  trials  last  January. 

Birds    are    plentiful    and    the    grounds    have    been

Pacific    Northwest   Field  Trials. 

The  winning  dogs  In  the  throe  stakes  of  the  Pacific 
Northwest  Field  Trials  Club's  sixth  annual  trials  held 
at  La  Conner  Plats,  near  Seattle,  Wash.,  October  12,

For   a    Collie    Show. 

There  has  been,  for  several  years  past,  a  strong 
predeliction  on  the  part  of  many  fanciers  and  ex- 
hibitors in  favor  of  specialty  shows.  This  project 
has  been  advocated  often,  but  has  never  gone  any 
further  locally  than  the  rumor  that  one  or  other  of 
the  specialty  clubs  intended  to  hold  a  show. 

The  situation  among  the  followers  of  kenneldom  at 
present  is  far  more  propitious  for  a  successful  spe- 
cialty show  than  ever  before  and  one  little  show 
will  do  more  good  now  than  five  years'  more  talking; 
in  fact  the  time  is  at  hand  where  it  is  almost  im- 
perative for  one  or  the  other  of  the  specialty  clubs  to 
lead  the  way.  A  specialty  one  day  show  will,  among 
other  things,  induce  the  organization  of  other  spe- 
cialty clubs  if  not  more  kennel  clubs.  It  is  not  abso- 
lutely necessary  that  a  show  of  this  kind  be  a  big 
affair— not  that  we  would  not  like  to  see  a  big  entry — 
the  main  thing  is  to  start  the  ball  rolling. 

The  following  views  of  a  well  known  and  popular 
Collie  fancier  are  applicable  and  worthy  the  serious 
consideration  of  the  fancy.     The  writer  says: 

"You  will  have  to  pardon  another  lengthy  docu- 
ment from  this  part  of  dogdom  for  I  have  so  little 
time  to  discuss  schemes  and  I  want  your  opinion  at 
least  before  I  give  them  up. 

"As  you  know,  we  have  a  spring  show  and  a  sum- 
mer show,  all  within  four  months.  The  other  eight 
months  we  feel  hard  over  past  defeats  and  are  eager 
for  another  chance.  There  ought  to  be  this  other 
chance,  a  loosening  up  about  January,  to  my  way 
of  thinking. 

"I  have  no  particular  interest  in  January,  except 
that  by  the  middle  of  the  month  the  holiday  season 
is  over  and  the  Collies  should  be  in  good  coat  and 
the  long  stretch  of  'nothing  doing'  would  be  broken. 
My  idea  is  that  the  Collie  Club  should  see  its  way 
clear  to  a  specialty  show. 

"We  all  raise  puppies  to  show,  but  the  opportuni- 
ties to  show  them  are  limited.  There  are  one  or  two 
shows;  we  must  go  to  them  whether  we  like  the  judge 
or  not — or  else  stay  at  home  and  miss  a  whole  year. 
We  may  go,  the  decision  is  close,  we  loose,  but  there 
is  no  chance  to  try  again  and  we  feel  sort  of  dis- 
gruntled for  quite   a  while. 

"It  seems  to  me  that  doggy  affairs  would  run  more 
smoothly  and  a  more  enthusiastic  feeling  would  result 
if  there  were  more  shows  and  more  judges. 

"A  yearly  Collie  show  would  become  a  feature 
to  be  looked  forward  to.  It  does  not  matter  if  the 
show  should  be  a  very  modest  affair.  Better  a  small 
show  with  a  future  than  a  big,  unproductive  splurge. 
"So  my  suggestion  is  for  an  afternoon  and  evening 
show  in  San  Francisco — perhaps  in  one  of  the  an- 
nexes to  the  Mechanics'  Pavilion,  with  no  benching, 
each  exhibitor  to  handle  his  own  dogs,  with  ribbons 
for  prizes  and  a  few  modest  specials. 

"Now  of  course,  the  expense  account  is  to  be  reck- 
oned on  a  proposition  like  this.  From  our  experi- 
ence we  base  the  minimum  costs  at  about  $95,  and 
the  maximum  at  $145. 

"There  were  59  Collies  entered  at  San  Mateo.  A 
show  in  San  Francisco  should  draw  considerably 
more.  We  figure  on  a  basis  of  60  entries  a  net  return 
of,  at  least,  $122.50  (in  various  items  not  necessary  to 
enumerate  here).  Now  I  really  cannot  see  why  such 
a  show  could  not  pay  for  itself,  if  the  management 
tried  to   keep   down  every  needless  expense. 

"There  is  just  one  snag  that  I  can  see,  and  that  is 
the  judge.  Still  we  must  make  the  break  sometime 
and  I,  for  one,  should  not  object  to  seeing  an  ama- 
teur do  the  judging.  It  would  be,  no  doubt,  as  satis- 
factory as  some  professional  judging  we  have  had. 

"In  the  East,  in  certain  breeds,  some  fanciers,  and 
several  of  them  who  have  not  been  in  the  breed  for 
such  a  long  time,  have  blossomed  forth  as  judges. 
And  why  not  here  in  Collies? 

"If  we  had  enough  shows,  we  could  try  out  prom- 
ising material.  In  fact,  this  strikes  me  as  being 
rather  in  the  nature  of  our  only  salvation.  We 
must  be  a  bit  independent  or  things  will  lose  their 
lustre. 

"I  heard  recently  of  the  sojourn  in  California  of 
Mr.  Rogers  of  Dundee,  Mich.,  one  of  the  oldest  Collie 
breeders  in  America.  He  is  to  remain  here  for  some 
time,  I  believe.  I  should  think  it  would  not  be  a 
difficult  matter  to  have  him  judge  a  Collie  show.  In 
that  rase,  or  should  an  amateur  judge,  the  item  of 
expense  for  judging  would  be  cut  out. 

"I'm  sure  there  must  be  a  half  dozen  good  Collie 
men  who  could  put  this  thing  on.  Make  the  break 
and  next  year  have  some  one  else  to  do  the  work. 

"There  could  be  the  usual  classes,  with  veteran, 
etc.,  and  a  competition  for  tri-colors  only,  added  to 
Induce  entries.  Inexpensive  specials  enough  to  make 
it  interesting  would  be  forthcoming  from  fanciers,  in 
a  spirit  of  encouragement,  I'm  sure.  The  American 
Fox  Terrier  Club  members  will  compete  for  $2.00 
cups;    why  can  we  not?" 


Quail    Plentiful    in    Placer  County. 

The   foothills   east   of  Lincoln   fairly   sw-armed   with 
quail  hunters  on  the  opening  day  of  the  season,  and 
several   big  bags  of  the  swift  flying  denizens  of  the 
chaparral  were  brought  in  by  the  more  expert  sports- 
men.    Last  year  the  quail  were  extremely  scarce  in- 
this  region;    indeed,  a  hunter  was  considered  exceed 
ingly   fortunate   if  he   could   start   up   one   bevy   in 
day's    travel.      A    number    of    reasons    were    assigned 
for  this  scarcity,  but  it  is  more  than  likely  that  the 
indiscriminate    hunting    during    the   close   season   had 
more  to  do  with  the  absence  of  these  birds  than  any 
thing    else.      During    the   last    close   season,    however, 
there  has  been  little  complaint,  and  there  has  bei 
practically   no    hunting   of  any   kind    in   the   foothill! 
adjacent    to    and    surrounding   Lincoln.      As    a    resui 
quail  are  much  more  plentiful  this  season,  and  if  thi 
festive  nimrod  can  find  a  locality  not  placarded  wig 
the  numerous   "no   shooting"   signs,   an  abundance  ofi 
sport  is  assured.     These  favored  localities  are  scarce, 
however,    as    the   owners   of  foothill   lands   have    suf- 
fered so  in  the  past  from  careless   hunters  that   few 
places  are  open  to  the  public  for  hunting.     For  thi: 
reason  the  hunting  will  necessarily  be  confined   to 
comparatively    small    area,    and   in    a    short    time    th 
quail  wrill  be  driven  away  or  killed.

Sacramentans   Get   Many   Ducks. 

According:  to  Secramento  sportsmen  who  were  i: 
the  marshes  at  sunrise  at  the  opening*  of  the  duel 
season,  and  who  spent  the  Sabbath  on  the  club  pre' 
serves,  the  birds  were  never  more  plentiful  than  they 
are  this  year,  and  it  is  estimated  that  in  the  imme- 
diate vicinity  of  Sacramento  thousands  fell  duririj 
the  first  few  hours  of  the  opening:  day. 

In  the  Big-  Lake  country  alone,  L.  S.  Upson  claims 
that  2000  is  a  conservative  estimate  of  the  number 
of  ducks  killed,  and  fourteen  hunters  who  shot  on 
the  Glide  ranch  bagged  507  birds,  two  of  the  number 
getting:  the  limit,  50,  and  the  others  anywhere  from 
a  dozen  to  4S. 

Those  who  bagged  the  limit  were  Judge  Clauson  o: 
Dixon  and  C.  C.  Carter  of  Sacramento,  and  J.  R. 
Hughes  was  but  two  shy  the  50.  Lieutenant-Gover- 
nor Anderson  came  next  with  45,  Frank  Newbert  shot:' 
40,  and  Charles  Matthews  and  R.  Flint  each  got 
thirty-six. 

Scores  of  hunters  invaded  the  Bloom  Lakes  coun- 
try near  Franklin,  and  Frank  Johnson  reports  that  not 
a  man  got  less  than  25  birds,  and  from  that  number 
up  to  40  or  more. 

Members  of  the  Del  Paso  Club  report  the  shooting 
was  the  best  in  years,  and  many  of  the  members 
came  close  to  the  limit  in  the  number  of  ducks  killed. 
Judge  J.  W.  Hughes  and  father,  J.  R.  Hughes  of 
Missouri,  bagged  63  between  them,  and  County  As- 
sessor T.  H.  Berkey  had  exceptional  luck. 

Dr.  F.  L.  Atkinson  of  the  Canvasback  Club  suc- 
ceeded in  bringing  down  46  as  well,  while  all  enjoyed 
excellent    shooting. 

L.  S.  Upson  and  Bert  Krull  spent  the  opening  day 
in  the  Big  Lake  country,  and  between  them  they  got 
92   birds. 

"We  shot  from  the  time  the  sun  rose  until  about 
9  o'clock,"  states  Mr.  Upson,  "and  all  those  in  our 
vicinity  stopped  shooting  before  noon.  That  is  the 
only  thing  to  do.  With  the  bombardment  that  takes 
place  the  birds  become  thoroughly  frightened,  and 
every  true  sportsman  will  cease  shooting  early  in. 
order  to  give  them  time  to  recover  from  their  fright 
and   return. 

"I  have  been  hunting  a  good  many  seasons  in  that 
vicinity  and  never  have  I  seen  the  shooting  so  good. 
The  number  of  hunters  out  the  opening  day  waijfc 
unusual.  There  were  scores  in  the  Big  Lake  country 
alone,  and  I  will  venture  to  say  that  2000  is  a  cons 
servative   estimate   of  the  number   of  birds   killed." 

"From  what  I  hear,  quail  shooting  is  also  better 
than  usual,  and  those  who  were  out  yesterday  report 
the  best  of  luck.  One  thing  against  the  sport  at 
present  is  the  dry  ground,  on  which  the  dogs  can- 
not woi-k  to  the  best  advantage.  After  a  good  raiq. 
the   sportsmen   will   begin   to   make   records." 

In  regard  to  Quail,  the  ranchers  and  farmers  say 
that  never  were  there  so  many  birds  in  that  section 
of  the  country.

Pajaro    Valley    Hunting     Notes. 

While  a'  great  many  hunters  went  in  quest  of  ducks, 
which   are  plentiful   and   fat,   others   turned   their  at-  I 
tention    to    quail    and    visited    the    hills    and    wooded  j 
lands  near  Pajaro.   where   they  were   well   repaid   for  ; 
their    trouble.      Several    hunters    killed    the    limit    by 
9  or  10  o'clock  in  the  morning  and  returned  to  town.  | 

There  are  sufficient  game  birds  in  this  vicinity  this  : 
season  to  furnish  hunters  with  lively  sport.  Many; 
of  those  who  did  not  get  out  the  first  day  went  the* 
following  morning  and  made  a  splendid  showing." 
From  now  on  the  birds  will  not  be  so  tame  and| 
the   bags  will  be  correspondingly  lighter. 

The   stringent    game    laws   and    the   care    taken    by 
gun   clubs  to   entice  water  fowl  to  visit   that   section 
each  season,  through  a  system  of  feeding,  have  proved

THE   SHEEP   OUTLOOK. 

The  general  outlook  for  the  sheep 
business  is  so  flattering  at  the  pres- 
ent time  as  to  almost  amount  to  ex- 
citement in  sheep  raising  and  sheep 
trading  circles,  says  Twentieth  Century 
Farmer.  The  effort  to  acquire  flocks 
for  future  demands,  which  seems  to 
impress  alike  both  the  novice  and  ex- 
perienced flock  master,  is  a  feature 
that  promises  an  expansion  in  prices. 
Increased  demand  for  wool  invari- 
ibly  creates  excitement,  and  increase! 
prices  for  sheep  is  sure  to  follow.  In 
addition  to  the  demand  and  higher 
prices  for  wool  there  is  a  steadily 
growing  demand  in  our  markets  for 
mutton.  This  demand  is  of  a  character 
that  exerts  an  influence  on  the  local 
grain  markets  and  general  feed  supply. 
The  sheep  feeding  business  has  de- 
veloped into  an  industry  in  the  grain 
and  hay  districts,  that  is  a  recog- 
nized factor  in  trade,  and  to  an  ap- 
preciable degree  directs  and  controls 
the  production  of  crops  in  those  dis- 
tricts. 

It  has  been  clearly  demonstrated 
[luring  the  last  few  months  that  the 
mutton  demand  in  our  home  markets 
has  passed  the  state  of  prejudice  and 
that  people  now  regard  lamb  and  mut- 
iton  among  the  choice  food  products 
These  prices  have  been  such  as  to 
stimulate  the  trade  in  choice  mutton, 
and  this  is  first  noticed  and  appre- 
:iated  by  the  professional  sheep  feeder, 
ind  his  demands  for  choice  lambs  and 
sheep  for  the  feed  yard  soon  reach  the 
jsheep  raiser,  who  discovers  his  inabil- 
ity to  supply  this  demand.  This  lat- 
ter condition  has  been  brought  about 
by  the  demand  from  among  the  new 
recruits  in  flock  enterprise  who  are 
making  heavy  draughts  upon  the  es- 
tablished flocks  for  foundation  stock 
to  start  on. 
It  is  also  reported  from  the  market 
enters  that  the  demand  for  mutton  is 
so  strong  as  to  take  a  quality  of  lambs 
and  sheep  that  formerly  found  their 
way  to  the  feeder  division.  This  ab- 
sorption of  the  feeder  classes  of  sheep 
tor  immediate  mutton  supply  means 
l  shortening  of  finished  mutton  in  the 
later  feeding  season,  and  when  the 
feed  yards  are  called  upon  to  turn  over 
their  products. 

The  sheep  outlook  in  all  its  varied 
phases  of  breeding  flock,  feeder  supply 
and  finished  mutton  has  not  presented 
a  more  encouraging  aspect  for  the 
K>wner  and  handler  of  the  flock  than 
now.

POULTRY    POINTERS. 


Poultry  for  market  should  be  well 
fed  on  finely  ground  corn  meal  and 
mixed  grains  for  two  weeks  before  be- 
ing killed. 

It  is  claimed  that  cooked  food  is 
best  for  fattening  poultry  though  some 
feeders  claim  the  difference  is  too 
ilight  to  pay  for  the  extra  trouble. 

Kerosene  oil  applied  to  roosts,  nests 
and  cracks  or  crevices  of  poultry  house 

alls     which     are     infested    with    red 

lites   will    rid    the    premises    of   them. 

'f  they  have  been  alowed  the  right  of 

way   until    thoroughly    established    the 

111       auildings    will    need    to    be    gone    over 

.horoughly   and   several   gallons   of   oil

Poultry  in  being  fattened  for  market 
should  not  be  confined  to  the  fattening 
crates  more  than  two  weeks  else  they 
will  suffer  from  the  confinement  and 
the  feeder's  object  will  be  defeated. 
Skim  milk  mixed  with  ground  grains 
is  a  good  fattening  ration.  Yellow 
corn  meal  will  have  a  tendency  to 
produce  the  rich  yellow  skin  that  is 
so  popular  in  our  markets. 

Geese  can  be  raised  comparatively 
easy  when  they  have  a  good  grass  pas- 
ture to  range  over,  and  when  fed 
rather  sparingly  there  will  be  very  lit- 
tle danger  of  losses.  They  do  not  re- 
quire much  care  nor  expensive  houses. 
Their  sleeping  quarters  should  be  kept 
clean  and.  dry.  Protect  them  from 
storms  and  cold  winds. 

Market  ducks  are  usually  confined  to 
yards  and  fed  liberally  a  variety  of 
foods.  They  are  great  eaters,  but  they 
make  a  very  rapid  growth  and  are 
usually  ready  for  market  at  from  nine 
to  twelve  weeks  of  age,  depending  on 
the  season.  The  early  ones  are  usual- 
ly sold  as  soon  as  possible  to  capture

AN    INTERESTING    CONTEST. 


Professor  Olin  of  the  Colorado  agri- 
cultural college  has  made  arrangements 
to  distribute  $2500  in  gold  among  the 
boys  and.  girls  on  the  farms  in  that 
state  during  the  next  two  years  through 
one  of  the  most  novel  and  interesting 
contests  ever  inaugurated  in  this  coun- 
try, says  an  exchange.  It  is  to  be 
known  as  "The  Patterson  Seed  Com- 
petition." having  been  named  after 
Senator  T.  M.  Patterson,  who  has 
agreed  to  provide  the  money  for  the 
prizes.  The  competition  is  open  to 
every  boy  and  girl  in  Colorado  under 
18  years  of  age,  and  continues  for  t'nreu 
years,  with  an  annual  award  of  prizes, 
and  a  general  award  at  the  end  of 
three  years.  The  contest  is  to  see  who 
can  produce  the  best  wheat,  oavs.  and 
barley  by  seed  selections  and  improve- 
ment during  the  three  years'  trial,  and 
each  contestant  is  required  to  grow 
each  year  an  acre  of  grain  from  which 
is  selected  100  heads,  to  be  judged  in 
competition  by  experts  at  the  college. 
There  will  be  ten  prizes  of  from  $2  to 
$25  each  awarded  annually  for  each 
grain — fall  wheat,  spring  wheat,  oats 
and  barley,  forty  prizes  in  all  each 
year,  and  an  additional  forty  prizes 
for  the  general  competition  at  the  end 
of  the  third  year. 


FARMER  SWINE  NOTES. 

You  can't  keep  pigs  from  squealing 
with  an  empty  trough  before  them. 

Keep  the  pigs  growing  every  minute 
if  you  expect  them  to  be  profitable. 

Young  sows  selected  for  breeding 
purposes  should  be  put  on  good  pasture 
— apart  from  those  intended  for 
salughter. 

Great  care  and  attention  should  be 
given  to  the  boar.  He  should  have  a 
pen  for  himself  some  distance  from  the 
sows,  and  sufficiently  strong  to  keep 
him  in.  Half  an  acre  of  good  clover 
fenced  off  adjoining  his  pen  would  be 
ideal  provided  it  is  at  a  sufficient  dis- 
tance from  the  sow  pasture. 

The  practice  of  cooking  grain  for 
hogs  has  long  since  been  discouraged 
as  of  doubtful  economical  value.  The 
raw  grain  will  give  as  good  results 
without  this  expense.  With  vegetables, 
as  pumpkins,  squashes  and  potatoes  it 
is  quite  different,  for  the  feeding  value 
as  well  as  their  palatability  is  improved 
by   cooking. 


meal,  before  beginning  to  force  them 
for  eggs.  The  point  is  to  fill  them  up 
with  something  bulky,  and  then  when 
they  begin  to  lay,  add  5  per  cent  oi' 
beef  scraps,  and  thus  gradually  work 
up,  until  in  a  week  or  two  they  are 
receiving  10  or  20  per  cent.  In  order 
to  have  them  do  well  water  should  be 
kept  before  ducks  all  the  time,

After  ducks  are  nearly  grown,  only 
the  most  preferable  ones  should  be 
kept  for  breeding  purposes,  and  not 
more  than  half  a  dozen  females  mated 
to  one  drake.  These  should  be  fed 
lightly  until  about  the  first  of  Novem- 
ber, for  to  force  their  growth  before 
mating  tends  to  destroy  the  vitality  of 
the  birds,  and  that  in  turn  the  fertility 
the  eggs.  A  good  raion  for  them  con- 
sists of  one  part  clover,  three  parts 
bran  and  two  parts  cornmeal.  Subse- 
quently beef  scraps  may  be  added  to 
this.  Some  time  in  February  is  when 
laying  should  begin,  and  it  is  not  so 
important  to  get  a  large  number  of 
eggs,  as  to  obtain  good  ones.  Under 
the  most  favorable  conditions,  however, 
the  first  few  eggs  are  likely  to  be 
infertile.  Accordingly  old  ducks  should 
be  fed  about  a  third  clover  and  some- 
times plain  hay  and  the  rest  bran  and

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

Brooklyn,  N.  Y. 
One  of  my  horses  went  lame  from  side  or  shell 
bones  on  both  feet,  which  extended  entirely 
around  the  quarter,  and  was  laid  up  for  about 
thrte  months  I  used  two  bottles  of  "Save-the- 
Horse,"  and  the  horse  is  perfectly  sound.  I  have 
driven  her  over  paved  roads,  and  one  day  gave 
her  a  sixty-mile  drive  and  she  never  showed  the 
least  particle  of  lameness.  The  growths  have 
nearly  all  dlsappea'  ed.  1  have  owned  horses  for 
years,  u*>ed  them  to  build  railroads  and  In  all 
kinds  of  contract  work,  and  have  used  remedies, 
blisters,  firing  and  electricity,  but  never  saw 
anything  take  hold  and  produce  t,uch  results  as 
"Save-tne-Horse"  in  this  case.

Nrack.N.  Y. 
In  August  I  had  a  mare  with  an  ankle  cocked 
from  a  bad  wrench  in  a  race.  It  was  so  bad  I  had 
concluded  to  shoot  her,  but  was  persuaded  to 
breed  her  and  turn  her  out.  I  bred  her,  but  In- 
stead of  turning  her  out  used  your  "save-the- 
Horse."  In  three  weeks  I  was  more  than  sur- 
prised to  see  the  swelling  disappear,  and  the 
remedy  produced  a  compiele  cure  She  is  as 
goodasever.  I  have  raced  herslnce  and  drive 
her  any  distance  without  any  sign  of  lameness. 
I  cannot  say  too  much  for  your  remedy.

)£]  i. 


These  are  busy  days  at  the  Emeryville  race  track, 
id  it  is  no  exaggeration  to  say  that  one  can  see 
y  of  these  pleasant  mornings  fully  100  railbirds 
ittering  away  over  the  workouts  they  have 
|iught."  There  are  many  strings  of  flyers  ready 
race  even  at  this  moment.  The  talk  of  the  track 
^Callahan  of  the  Nealon  stable,  Sir  Wilfred  of  the 
limeron  string  and  Rey  Carlo,  owned  by  the  M.  Fox 
gate.  The  Rice  string  looks  very  fit,  and  I  was 
rich  taken  with  the  appearance  of  the  chestnut  horse 
Jjfhtful.  The  ancient  W.  B.  Gates  does  not  look 
Ifl  if  he  had  gone  through  the  grueling  necessary  to 
in  ninety-nine  races-,  and  I  doubt  not  that  before 
Ss  iron  son  of  Prince  Royal  retires  his  score  of 
(itories  will  considerably  overtop  the  100  of  Logan 
|  the  102  of  Belisarius.  T.  Cromwell's  old  mare 
Jnora  looks  Kke  a  pretty  blonde  just  ready  for  the 
til-room  The  Curl  brothers  are  from  Xew  York. 
ti  the  old  bay  horse  Bragg  shapes  up  like  a  two- 
}\r-old.  If  I  am  not  mistaken,  the  Curl  string  will 
I-  a  considerable  figure  here  before  the  season  is 
lied.  Warte  Nicht.  the  little  Wilkerson  horse,  is 
k.ving  in  a  manner  pleasing  to  his  handler  these 
\ys,   and   does   not   pull    up   as   stiff   and   sore   as   of 

Starter  Jake   Holtman   is   back   from    the   far   Bast 
ti  Latonia,  and  brinys  news  of  an  interesting  char- 
ter.     Among    other    things    he    said:    "I   have    been 
ning  to  California  for  several  years,  but  there  are 
i  .re  new  bookmakers,   owners,  trainers  and  jockeys 
jnd  for  the  land  of  sunshine,  gold  and  flowers  this 
!Son    than    ever   before.     All    the    big    stables    that 
end   to   campaign   out   here   purpose   racing   horses 
both  tracks,  and  there  will  be  constant  shipments 
m  Los  Angeles  to  Oakland  and  Ingleside.     Griffin, 
garola.   Durnell.    Schreiber,   Williams,   Holland  and 
iers  will  operate  a  stable  at  both  tracks,   shipping 
-k  and   forth    for    stake    engagements.      The    best 
ikeys   will   not   all    be   here   for   the   opening   week. 
It  Knapp,   Shaw.  W.  Davis.  Hicks,   Smith,   Bullman 
1 4  Miller  will  all  be  here  at  the  close  of  Aqueduct, 
fain,  who  rode  three  winners  at  Latonia  on   Mon- 
ey, will  be  seen  here  on  the  opening  day,  and  pos- 
f.ly    Allen,    who    is    under    engagement    to    ride    for 
jlerman   Kunz   of  Chicago.     The  latter  has  a  band 
coming    two-years-olds    at    the    Bellemeade    stock 
to  in  Tennessee,  which  will  be  shipped  to  Califor- 
i  in  the  near  future.     Trainer  Joyner  told  me  that 
vis  would  leave  for  Oakland  during  the  Aqueduct 
weting     Griffin  has  not  yet  secured  a  jockey.     Miller 
•  11  do  the  riding  for  the  Angarola  stable  and  Wiley 
•  "Boots"  Durnell.     Marcus  Cartwright  informed  me 
a   Pesch   and   McCall   would   be   out   here   to    Book 
I    him    during   the   entire   session.     There   is   also   a 
ince  that  Fred  Cook  will  be  out  here.     I  think  he 
s  made  a  stake  entry  or  two.    He  has  had  a  rather 
astrous  season,  otherwise  he  would  have  sent  out 
big  stable." 

tfr.  Holtman  also  brings  the  information  that  there 
II  be  150  davs'  racing  next  summer  under  the  juris- 
■tion  of  The  Jockey  Club  at  Buffalo,  Providence, 
lem  (N.  H.),  Syracuse,  Albany  and  Baltimore.  Holt- 
i  did  the  starting  at  Providence,  and  says  that 
attendance  was  gratifyingly  large,  and  that  the 
nociation    made    $20,000,    instead    of    losing    $25,000,

pus. Glenheirn,  Goldfinch,  Maxio.  Royal  Flush,  imp. 
Star  Ruby,  imp.  Toddington  and  imp.  Watercress 
will  undoubtedly  bring  forth  bids  running  into  the 
thousands.  Star  Ruby  will  perhaps  fetch  the  top 
price  of  the  stallions,  and  deserves  to,  though  there 
will  be  some  lively  bidding  for  Canopus.  Goldfinch. 
Toddington  and  Watercress.  Among  the  famous

even  with  big  stud  reputations,  I  should  not  think 
would  be  taken  across  the  continent.  I  would  pick 
imp.  Star  Ruby  for  a  stallion  for  many  reasons,  the 
first  being  that  he  was  a  first-class  "stayer"  and  bred 
just  to  suit  me — having  an  uninterrupted  chain  of 
success  clear  to  Eclipse  on  the  sire's  side,  as  follows: 
Hampton,  Lord  CI  if  den,  Newminster,  Touchstone, 
Camel,  Whalebone,  Waxy,  Pot-8-os,  Eclipse — while  on 
the  dam's  side  there  is  Ornament  (dam  of  the  great 
Sceptre),  Lily  Agnes  (dam  of  the  unbeaten  Ormonde), 
Polly  Agnes,  Miss  Agnes.  Agnes,  Annette,  The  Poten- 
tate's dam  and  Moll  in  the  Wad — eight  famous  pro- 
ducers, or,  on  both  sides,  seventeen  generations  of 
success.  Of  the  mares,  Annette.  Fleurette.  Inquisitive 
and  Pearl  V.  would  work-out  best  on  the  lines  spoken 
of  above,  and  clearly  "figure"  to  prove  great  pro- 
ducers.

Jack  Atkin  is  back  from  Latonia  after  having  a 
most  successful  seasons  booking  at  Louisville  and 
Latonia  for  Barney  Schreiber.  He  is  something  like 
$40,000  winner — this  in  a  few  weeks.  He  will  cut  in 
at  Emeryville  and  afterward  probably  confine  his 
operations  to  Ascot  Park.  Los  Angeles.

W  O'B.  Macdonough.  ever  successful  as  a  breeder, 
has  been  unusually  so  this  season,  no  less  than  four 
cracking  good  two-year-olds  having  come  from  his 
farm,  viz:  Ormondale,  George  C.  Bennett.  Sir  Wilfred 
and  Roman  Gold.  All  have  the  Ormonde  blood  in 
their  veins,  Ormondale  being  by  "the  horse  of  the 
century"  himself,  George  C.  Bennett  by  Orsini  (son 
of  Ormonde),  Sir  Wilfred  by  Ossary  (another  son  of 
the  celebrity) .  and  Roman  Gold's  dam  by  Ormonde. 
Mr.  Macdonough  is  to  sell  ten  head  of  yearlings  at 
Chase's  salesyard  on  the  night  of  November  2Sth.  and 
eight  of  the  ten  have  the  blood  that  is  "on  top"  in 
France  to-day  and  close  to  it  in  America — Ormonde 
oi  Bend  Or.  The  "fad"  in  England  these  days  is 
the  St.  Simon-Bend  Or  cross,  and  many  of  the  most 
celebrated  horses  of  the  land  of  John  Bull  in  recent 
years  were  bred  with  a  view  to  making  this  "happy 
n'ek."  A  number  of  these  Macdonough  youngsters 
are  by  St.  Avonicus  and  out  of  Ormonde  mare3.  Pre- 
vious to  this  the  craze  was  for  the  St.  Simon-Musket 
cross-,  Memoir  and  La  Fleche  being  the  best  exponents 
of  this  "fad  "  The  probalities'  are  that  any  of  these 
would  prove  successful,  provided  the  animals  mated 
were  themselves  great  "stayers" — in  short,  splendid 
"individuals"  with  large  hearts  and  lungs  and  sound 
limbs — not  those  ruined  by  racing  while  the  horse  was 
in  the  "vealy  stage."  I  do  not  believe  that  just  be- 
cause a  horse  happens  to  be  by  St.  Simon  or  one  of 
his  sons  and  out  of  a  Musket,  Bend  Or  or  Ormonde 
mare  he  is  almost  certain  to  prove  a  high  class  racer 
or  sire.  His  sire  and  dam  must  have  the  "individ- 
uality"— the  conformation  and  the  race  horse  qualities 
of  a  high  order — before  one  can  look  for  the  most 
pleasing  results.  If  you  have  the  good  looks,  the 
soundness  and  the  heart  and  lung  development  neces- 
sary for  racing  at  the  longer  distances  in  both  sire 
and  dam,  along  with  the  breeding,  then  you  are  not 
likely  to  make  any  mistake  in  your  stock  operations.

Trainer  Thomas  Cook  arrived  at  Emeryville  last 
Tuesday  night  with  eighteen  of  the  E.  J.  Baldwin 
(Santa  Anita)  horses,  including  Americano  and  Cru- 
zados.  This  reminds  me  that  "Lucky"  has  great  need 
of  a  couple  of  good  stallions,  if  he  is  to  continue  in 
the  breeding  game,  and  I  would  be  delighted  if  he 
would  buy  Star  Ruby  and  Maxio  or  imp.  Watercress 
to  take  the  place  of  the  revered  Grinstead  and  Ruth- 
erford. When  they  were  alive  Santa  Anita  was  first 
in  California  among  the  stock  farms,  but  of  late  noth- 
ing very  good  has  been  bred  on  the  famous  rancho, 
though  he  has  many  a  good  mare  on  the  place.

T,  T.  Rector,  reported  as  dying  at  Hot  Springs  last 
winter  in  all  the  "horse  papers"  of  the  Middle  West, 
is  very  much  alive  and  well.  I  grasped  the  ghost's 
hand  at  Emeryville  trade  last  Tuesday,  and  he  re- 
turned the  grip  very  unlike  a  graveyard  sojourner. 


WOODWARD-THOMPSON   NUPTIALS. 

The  many  friends  of  James  Thompson,  of  Pleasan- 
ton,  will  read  the  following  from  the  last  issue  of  the 
American    Sportsman   with   great   interest. 

"The  wedding  bells  rang  their  own  sweet  song  when 
James  Thompson,  the  well  known  and  popular  Cali- 
fornia horseman  led  to  the  marriage  altar  Florence — 
the  beautiful  and  accomplished  daughter  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  J.  C.  Woodward,  at  th-'ir  residence,  224  Welles- 
ley  street,  East  Cleveland,  Tuesday  afternoon,  October 
24.  It  was  a  quiet  wedding — so  quiet  indeed  that  Mr. 
Thompson's  more  intimate  friends  did  not  know  of 
his  intention  to  enter  the  matrimonial  race.  The 
bride  is  one  of  the  most  popular  young  ladies  of  East 
Cleveland,  while  the  groom  is  known  to  horsemen 
everywhere,  among  whom  he  Is  justly  popular.  The 
marriage  is  understood  to  be  the  happy  culmination 
of  a  summer's  courtship,  and  was  entirely  a  love 
affair.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Thompson  left  Tuesday  night 
for  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  where  they  will  spend  the  winter. 
It  would  have  been  the  delight  of  Mr.  Thompson's 
Cleveland  friends  to  have  given  him  and  his  wife  a 
rception  in  keeping  with  what  the  occasion  demanded, 
but  the  quiet  way  in  which  they  were  married  and 
their,  early  departure  for  the  West  prevented  this. 
His  many  friends  hereby  extend  their  best  wishes 
and  congratulations." 

The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  extends  to  Mr.  Thomp- 
son and  his  bride  best  wishes  for  a  long  life  of  con- 
nubial  bliss.

A    NEW    CHAMPION    YEARLING. 


The  yearling  pacing  record  of  2:20%.  made  by  Belle 
Acton  thirteen  years  ago  and  equalled  by  the  colt 
Paul  D.  Kelly  last  year,  was  beaten  at  Peoria,  Illi- 
nois, on  Saturday,  the  14th  of  October,  by  Manager  H-. 
who  paced  a  heat  in  2:20  flat.  Manager  H.  was  bred 
by  Mr.  A.  G.  F.  Stice,  who  is  well  known  to  Califor- 
nians,  as  he  resided  a  year  or  two  in  Los  Angeles  and 
campaigned  several  horses  on  our  circuit  here  in 
1900  Mr.  Stice  returned  to  Illinois  the  following  year 
and  purchased  the  pacing  stallion  Manager  2.06%. 
Nutwood's  fastest  performer,  to  head  a  stock  farm 
which  he  has  established  at  Bookfield,  Mo.  Manager 
M.  is  by  Manager  out  of  Nelly  M.  2:10*4,  by  Butler's 
Bashaw  2:28*4,  consequently  is  bred  for  a  fast  one. 
Manager  was  himself  a  champion,  having  lowered  the 
world's  record  to  2:16%  as  a  two  year  old  and  to  2:11% 
as  a  three  year  old.  both  records  being  made  to  a 
high -wheel  sulky.  The  many  friends  of  Mr.  Stice 
in  California  will  read  with  pleasure  the  news  that 
he  has  bred  a  champion,  and  "will  hope  that  he  will 
breed  many  more. 


Every  one  knows  that  the  trotting  record  with  pace- 
maker in  front  is  1:58%,  made  by  Lou  Dillon,  but 
there  is  some  uncertainty  as  to  the  record  made  with 
runner  alongside.  Several  persons  have  asked  what 
this  record  was,  says  an  exchange,  and  thinking  there 
may  be  others  who  seem  uncertain  as  to  this  style  of 
going,  we  would  say  that  it  is  2:01,  also  made  by  Lou 
Dillon.  This  was  last  year  at  Memphis.  Major  Del- 
mar,  also  at  Memphis,  trotted  in  2:01*4,  which  was 
the  record  when  made,  and  which  is  now  the  best  for 
a  gelding,  while  the  mile  in  2:04%,  by  Cresceus,  is  the 
stallion  record.

shine  the  brightest,  a  quiet  place,  a  pair  of  trusting 
eyes,  a  soft,  warm  hand,  and  two  heads  close  to- 
gether? This  great  big  round  world  only  had  two 
people  in  it  then.  You  were  one  and  SHE  the  other. 
And  the  words  she  said  were  the  words  you  wanted 
to  hear — and  the  promise  was  made. 

The  whole  thing  started  about  fair  time,  didn't  it? 
Had  a  good  fair  that  day,  of  course,  long  time  ago. 
No  doubt  the  sun  doesn't  shine  today  as  it  did  then; 
perhaps  the  quiet  place  would  be  hard  to  find;  per- 
haps those  eyes  have  closed  in  eternal  sleep,  that 
hand  may  have  vanished  and  be  cold;  that  voice  may 
be  stilled  in  death;  but  the  memory  of  that  day,  and 
place,  and  that  old  sweetheart  is  planted  in  your 
heart  forever.  And  were  the  whole  world  yours,  you 
would  give  it  all,  old  man,  to  go  right  back  there  now. 
Well,  your  children  and  maybe  your  grandchildren  are 
looking  for  the  self-same  plj.ce  and  day.  It's  about 
fair  time.  The  frost  will  soon  be  on  the  pumpkin 
and  the  fodder  in  the  shock;  and  human  nature's 
just  the  same  as  'twas  some  fifty  years  ago. 

May  the  golden  sunlight  of  God's  favor  shine  upon 
you  from  a  cloudless  sky;  may  your  bark  of  life  drift 
gently  down  the  river  of  time  into  the  great  ocean  of 
eternity;  may  your  corn  and  cattle  be  your  only  care, 
and  your  supreme  delight  the  "County  Fair."

THE  COUNTY  FAIR. 


ecretary  A.  Sandles  of  the  .Putnam  county,  Ohio, 
r  Association,  thus  describes  the  real  genuine  ar- 
;  the  old  fashioned  and  new  fashioned  county  fair 
t  will  never  be   out   of  date: 

resident  McKinley  in  his  last  speech,  made  upon 
grounds  of  the  Buafflo  Exposition,  said  among 
ir  things:  "Fairs  and  expositions  are  the  time 
:es  which  mark  the  progress  of  nations,  and  every 
,  great  or  small  has  helped  in  some  onward  prog- 
t." 

enturies  ago  the  fair  was  held  in  high  favor,  and 
continue  to  be  so  as  long  as  old  friends  love  to 
t  and  greet  and  tell  each  other  the  joys  and  woes 
i  passing  year. 

he  mystic  invisible  cord  of  friendship,  which  runs 
n  one  heart  to  a  thousand  others,  is  the  secret 
er  which  draws  the  young  and  old,  the  rich  and 
r,  together  in  one  grand  reunion  under  the  shade  of 
spreading  trees,  which  grow  upon  the  grounds  of 
"Old  County  Fair." 

Tien  you  clasp  the  hands  of  those  whom  you  used 
enow,  when  you  were  boys  and  girls  and  sweet- 
is  together,  it  will  drive  dull  care  away  and  the 
ts  of  the  birds  will  be  sweeter,  the  burdens  of  life 
be  lighter,  the  ties  of  true  friendship  be  stronger, 
cream  on  the  milk  will  be  thicker,  and  the  roses 
lilies  more  fair. 

is  the  place  wrhere  youth  and  maid  exterminate 
ited  peanuts. and  red  lemonade,  and  joyously  wan- 
hand  in  hand,  through  the  gardens  and  fields  of 
future,  knowing  little,  caring  less,  of  the  world 
its  woes. 

tie  plains  to  be  crossed,  the  mountains  to  be 
bed,  the  seas  to  be  sailed  and  the  harvests  to  be 
lered  give  them  no  concern.  It's  a  clear  sky  and 
et  only  life's  morning. 

's  the   time   and   place   for  father  and   mother   to 

and  refresh;   time  to  pause  in  life's  struggle  and 

jet  all   about   gold;    time    to    stop    for    a    day    the 

/  that   is   turning  the  furrows  of  time. 

'he  heart   of  the   toiler   has   throbbings   that   stir 

nc  the  bosom  of  kings"  if  you  stop,  now   and  then, 

to  i  day  to  mingle  and  mix  with  your  fellows. 

,;rhaps  it  was  there  that  grandfather  first  met  and 
pi"  ed  at  grandmother.  Tou  know  the  rest.  There 
•s  tide  in  the  affairs  of  men,  which  taken  at  the 
fk  I,  leads  on  to  marriage,  a  happy  home  and  prat- 
tli :  children.  A  hearthstone,  a  rocking  cradle,  a 
m,  ier's  lullaby  song  and  a  father's  strong  right  arm. 
;    -  the  world   a-moving  on. 

lere    is   no    place   on   the   outside   of  God's   green 

"■  h  where  two  hearts  are  more  sure  to  beat  as  one, 

b,    at  the  County  Fair,  "October  every  year." 

p,    old    man,    it    isn't    your    turn    to    kick.      The 

igsters    are    going   to    the    fair,   and    so*  are    you.

THE  MARYSV1LLE  MEETING. 


"That  the  race  meet  of  last  week  was  a  success  is 
the  gratifying  report  of  the  Tuba  and  Sutter  Driving 
Club,  by  whom  it  was  managed,"  says  the  Marysville 
Democrat.  "The  programs  were  excellent  each  day. 
On  this  the  public  is  the  judge,  and  the  verdict  of  all 
who  witnessed  the  different  events  of  the  three  days 
is  unanimous.  There  were  three  days  of  excellent 
sport.  The  meet  was  a  success  from  a  financial  stand- 
point because  the  balance  is  on  the  right  side  of  the 
ledger — and  this  was  not  expected  to  be  the  case.  The 
members  of  the  club  fully  expected  to  be  compelled 
to  make  good  a  deficiency,  for  there  wrere  many  un- 
favorable conditions  to  be  met. 

"In  purses  the  sum  of  $S10  was  paid  out.  As  most 
of  the  horses  on  the  track  belonged  here  nearly  all 
the  money  remained  here,  although  some  good  purses 
wrere  won  by  outside  horses.  A  less  number  of  outside 
horses  entered  than  were  expected,  but  another  meet 
will  see  many  of  them  brought  here. 

"All  of  the  decisions  on  the  track  were  approved 
and  there  was  no  wrangling  or  objection  on  the  part 
of  owners  or  the  public.  The  entire  meet  was  well 
managed  in  every  particular."

STALLIONS  IN    DEMAND   IN    INDIANA. 

It  is  doubtful  if  ever  there  was  a  time  when  so 
many  people  were  in  the  market  for  trotting  or  pacing 
stallions  as  is  the  case  at  the  present  time— and  there 
are  buyer  for  all  classes.  Some  want  renowned  suc- 
cessful speed  sires;  some  want  fairly  young  stallions 
which  have  raced  successfully  and  have  fairly  low 
records;  some  want  three  to  five-year-olds  which  are 
well  bred  and  have  speed— but  no  records;  others 
want  two  and  three-year-olds  with  sufficient  breed- 
ing for  use  in  the  stud  lightly,  and  stiil  others  want 
high  bred  weanlings  or  yearlings  to  "bring  along" 
their  own  way  for  future  use  in  the  stud,  or  on  the 
track.  Indeed,  as  a  prominent  combination  sale  man- 
ager said  to  us  the  other  day,  there  never  before  was 
anything  like  it:  why  we  have  inquiries  for  every- 
thing in  the  stud  line,  from  a  $60  weanling  to  a  no- 
limit  priced  champion  speed  sire.  And  why  should 
not  people  want  stallions?  Horses  are  scarce  and 
high  priced  in  the  country;  they  are  scarce  and  high 
priced  in  the  markets;  there  is  nothing  else  the  aver- 
age farmer  can  produce  which  is  so  profitable  to  him: 
thp  number  of  horses  needed,  in  both  country  and  In 
the  cities,  increases  with  the  increase  of  population, 
wealth  and  industries,  and  with  the  constantly  in- 
creasing export  trade  it  does  not  seem  likely  that  this 
country  will  ever  again,  in  good  times  or  bad,  be  able 
to  produce  a  surplus  of  horses.— Western  Horseman. 


The  expected  happened  at  Kansas  City  last  week. 
As  entries  overran  all  previous  bounds,  so  attendance 
and  enthusiasm  exceeded  all  former  records  for  the 
horse  shown  in  Convention  Hall.  As  respects  people 
and  interest,  not  to  say  enthusiasm,  the  horse  show 
at  the  city  by  the  Kaw's  mouth  is  perhaps  entitled 
to  the  palm.  We  have  heretofore  dwelt  on  this  point, 
and  succeeding  years  add  force  to  the  comment.  It 
was  believed,  and  rightly,  that  the  support  accorded 
this  exhibition  by  residents  of  Kansas  City  and  its 
suburbs  was  of  notable  character,  but  not  even  the 
fondest  imaginings  of  its  promoters  had  attained  the 
heights  realized  at.  the  exhibition  just   closed. 

Entries  by  far  exceeded  all  former  displays  and  the 
character  of  the  horses  was  of  a  class  to  command 
outspoken  admiration.  Entries  were  contributed  by 
exhibitors  that  owned  residence  at  such  geographical 
extremes  as  New  York  and  Denver,  and  the  presence 
of  the  Eastern  horses  added  much  drawing  power  as 
well  as  real  strength  to  the  arena. 

The  championship  of  the  show  fell  to  Reginald 
Vanderbilt  on  his  Kentucky-bred  Dr.  Selwonk,  an 
upheaded  and  very  flash  horse  in  his  forward  action, 
that  has  been  one  of  the  most  attractive  public  favor- 
ites seen  at  our  shows  in  recent  years.  Mr.  Busch's 
gray  mare  Odette  was  the  runner  up  for  this  honor — 
a  very  shapely  and  substantial  sort  for  heavy  leather. 
Among  the  walk-trot  saddle  horses  the  Balls  carried 
off  championship  honors  with  Morning  Glory. 

Miss  Belle  Beach  of  New  York  was  kind  enough  to 
award  the  prizes  on  the  equestrian  classes  for  little 
girls,  and  discovered,  as  have  some  other  judges  at 
this  show,  that  when  it  comes  to  the  local  riding 
classes  there  is  a  disposition  on  the  part  of  the 
audience  to  judge  more  from  personal  favor  than  from 
the  performance.  Miss  Beach,  than  whom  there  is 
no  more  competent  authority,  was  not  able  to  follow 
the  popular  favor,  which  ran  toward  a  little  girl  with 
a  very  incorrect  seat  in  the  side  saddle,  and  sent  the 
honors  to  a  girl  who  rode  astride  so  cleverly  as  to 
entitle  her  to  the  blue  ribbon,  according  to  the  ac- 
cepted standards  of  equestrianism. 

Judging  by  the  crowds  at  some  of  the  performances 
it  will  be  desirable  to  enlarge  the  capacity  of  Con- 
vention Hall,  if  this  show  makes  further  growth,  or 
at  least  to  enlarge  the  promenade  between  the  boxes 
and  the  arena  rail.  Passage  along  this  promenade 
was  well-nigh  impossible  at  several  performances. 
The  show  closed  in  a  blaze  of  glory,  and  set  a  high 
mark  for  succeeding  exhibitions  to  shoot  at — Breed- 
ers' Gazette. 


OF  VALUE  TO  HORSEMEN. 


Do  you  turn  your  horses  out  for  the  winter?  If  so. 
we  want  to  call  your  attention  to  a  very  important 
matter.  Horses  which  have  been  used  steadily  at 
work,  either  on  the  farm  or  road,  have  quite  likely 
had  some  strains  whereby  lameness  or  enlargements 
have  been  caused.  Or  perhaps  new  life  is  needed  to  be 
infused  into  their  legs.  Gombault's  Caustic  Balsam 
applied  as  per  directions,  just  as  you  are  turning  the 
horse  out,  will  be  of  great  benefit;  and  this  is  the 
time  when  it  can  be  used  very  sucessfully.  One  great 
advantage  in  using  this  remedy  is  that  after  it  is  ap- 
plied it  needs  no  care  or  attention,  but  does  its  work 
well  and  at  a  time  when  the  horse  is  having  a  rest. 
Of  course  it  can  be  used  with  equal  success  white 
horses  are  in  the  stable,  but  many  people  in  turning 
their  horses  out  would  use  Caustic  Balsam  if  they 
were  reminded  of  it,  and  this  article  is  given  as  a 
reminder. 


Work  on  the  new  athletic  grounds  and  speedway  in 
Golden  Gate  Park  is  progressing  satisfactorily.  The 
grading  of  the  turn  at  the  west  end  of  the  track  is 
practically  completed  and  gives  an  idea  of  how  the 
grounds  will  appear  when  all  the  work  is  finished. 
The  infield  where  the  polo  grounds  and  football  fields 
are  to  be  located  is  also  leveled  to  grade  and  is  be- 
ing covered  with  loam,  on  which  grass  will  be  sown. 
The  entire  grading  will  probably  not  be  finished  before 
the  first  of  next  May,  but  when  the  work  is  completed 
Golden  Gate  Park  will  have  the  finest  athletic  grounds 
and  speedway  in  the  world. 


A  well  staked  filly  by  Stam  B.  2:11*4  out  of  a 
McKinney  mare  is  offered  for  sale  in  this  issue.  She 
is  a  foal  of  1904,  of  good  size  and  a  trotter.  .  She  is 
entered  in  the  Breeders'  $7000  Futurity,  the  Occi- 
dental and  Stanford  Stakes,  and  the  Kentucky  $20,000 
Futurity.  The  owner  desires  to  sell  to  some  one  who 
will  train  and  race  this  filly.     See  advertisement. 


Hazel  Patch  2:03%  and  Zolock  2:05*4  are  to  meet 
in  a  series  of  match  races  on  the  Southern  California 
circuit,  which  opens  at  San  Bernardino  November 
9th.  On  form  Hazel  Patch  should  win.  but  Zolock 
will  be  there  at  the  finish. 


Axtell  2:12  as  a  three-year-old,  is  credited  with 
twelve  new  standard  performers  for  1905.  Angle

and  but  four  trive  records  below  2:25.

Few   people  know   that   there  are   three  distinct  pe- 
riods  every   year   in   a    bear's   life.     From   April   until 
September    it    lives    upon    fruits,    vegetables    or    any 
thing  of  this  kind  to  be  found.    From  September  until 
U;r  the  diet   is  changed   entirely  and   the   bear 
lives    upon    nuts    and    acorns.      During    this    period    a

(Continued  from   last  week.) 
General    Habits  of  the   Bobwhite,. 

The  habits  of  bobwhite,  like  those  of  many  other 
birds,  vary  considerably,  and  the  following,  observed 
by  E.  W.  Nelson,  is  a  case  in  point.  In  1ST5  the  Wa- 
bash bottoms  near  Mount  Carmel,  111.,  were  covered 
with  a  magnificent  forest,  quite  tropical  in  the  size 
and  luxuriant  growth  of  trees  and  other  vegetation. 
Scattered  here  and  there  through  the  forests  were 
small  clearings  planted  to  corn.  Bobwhites  were 
found  about  all  these  clearings,  and  the  males  were 
commonly  heard  calling  from  the  tops  of  the  tall 
trees  in  the  edge  of  the  bordering  forest,  and  en  more 
than  cne  occasion  were  stalked  and  shot  in  the  midst 
of  the  woods  from  the  tree  tops,  more  than  100  feet 
from  the  ground.  When  flushed  in  the  cornfields,  the 
coveys  dashed  away  into  the  forest  where  they  took 
refuge  in  the  tree  tops,  thence  sending  forth  their 
rallying  call   notes. 

There  apepars  to  be  a  tendency  among  bobwhites, 
at  least  in  some  regions,  to  a  local  migration.  In  cer- 
tain sections,  as  in  Virginia  and  Maryland,  they  com- 
monly leave  their  summer  homes  on  the  approach  of 
winter  and  congregate  near  the  larger  watercourses. 
In  an  old  number  of  the  American  Sportsman  Lewis 
refers  to  this  fall  movement,  and  says:  "At  this  per- 
iod the  birds  are  said  to  be  runing  or  traveling,  and 
will  not  lie  to  a  dog;  and  to  pursue  is  lost  time,  as 
it  will  be  found  utterly  impossible  to  keep  up  with 
them,  no  matter  with'what  speed  you  attempt  it." 

The  habits  of  the  bobwhite  during  the  hunting  sea- 
son are  well  known.  The  birds  move  about  most 
actively  and  feed  in  the  early  morning  and  late  af- 
ternoon. The  best  shooting  is  to  be  had  the  hour 
before  sunset,  in  the  places  where  the  birds  have  de- 
cided to  spend  the  night.  They  roost  on  the  ground, 
forming  a  solid  ring  with  tails  in  and  heads  out.  In 
Virginia  and  Maryland  the  roosting  places  are  almost 
never  in  the  woods,  though  in  Mecklenburg  county, 
Va.,  the  writer  has  found  them  in  the  grassy,  briery 
little  clearings  among  pine  woods.  At  Marshall  Hall 
the  birds  were  found  roosting  in  the  edges  of  wood- 
land, orchards,  patches  of  ragweed  in  wheat  stubble, 
cornfields,  truck  plats,  broomsedge,  dewberry  and 
blackberry  tangles,  pastures  and  fence  corners.  In 
Massachusteets  Edward  A.  Preble  found  no  roosts  in 
the  open  fields,  but  found  them  among  scrub  oaks  and 
in  tall  pine  forests.  Bobwhites  habitually  use  a  roost- 
ing ground  again  and  again.  A  covey  of  a  dozen, 
found  the  middle  of  November,  1899,  at  Marshall  Hall, 
resorted  to  a  corner  of  a  peach  orchard  for  eight  con- 
secutive nights,  and  during  December^  1902,  a  covey 
of  fifteen  on  the  Roanoke  River  bottom  used  a  narrow- 
strip  of  cockleburr.  ragweed  and  smartweed  for  ten 
consecutive  nights.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that,  al- 
though quail  seek  the  woods  for  shelter  from  enemies 
during  the  day,  they  generally  regard  the  open  as 
safer  at  night. 

It  is  the  general  opinion  that  with  the  oncoming  of 
winter  the  bobwhite  is  found  less  often  in  the  open 
fields,  w:here  withered  herbaceous  plants  afford  but 
scant  protection  from  enemies,  than  in  dense  bush> 
briery  coverts  and  woods. 

In  Maryland  and  Virginia  the  scattered  and  depleted 
coveys  after  the  shooting  season  evidently  unite  into 
large  bevies.  Their  favorite  resort  in  severe  weather 
is  a  bank  with  southern  exposure  and  suitable  food 
supply.  At  Marshall  Hall  during  one  of  the  heaviest 
snowfalls  of  the  season,  when  the  Potomac  was  frozen 
over  and  the  thermometer  near  zero,  a  covey  was  al- 
ways to  be  found  on  the  southeast  side  of  a  steep 
bank  bordering  a  large  swamp.  Here  the  birds  found 
food  and  warmth,  for  the  rays  of  the  sun  fell  on  this 
slope  so  directly  that  even  when  the  snow  elsewhere 
lay  from  three  to  six  inches  deep  it  was  here  melted 
or  remained  only  in  patches.  It  was  noticeable  that 
when  snow  was  on  the  ground  the  birds  ventured  only 
a  few  rods  from  cover,  a  fact  that  apparently  indi- 
cated their  appreciation  of  danger  from  the  numerous 
hawks  and  foxes.  At  Kinsale,  Va.,  the  writer  found 
bobwhites  crossing  open  fields  when  there  was  an  inch 
or  two  of  snow,  though  for  the  most  part  they  kept 
close  to  cover.  In  April  and  May  the  birds  again  ven- 
ture out  into  the  open,  and  they  breed  when  vegeta- 
tion is  sufficiently  grown  to  conceal  the  nests. 

At  Marshall  Hall  little  oval  pits  in  dry  soil,  in  which 
quail  had  been  dusting,  were  found  in  various  situa- 
tions, usually  under  cover  of  weeds  and  bushes  about 
the  fields.  Dusting  is  a  part  of  the  toilet  of  all  gal- 
linaceous and  many  other  birds,  and  may  also  be  a 
protection  against  vermin. 
Bobwhite   as   an    Ally   of  the   Farmer. 

In  summing  up  the  relations  of  the  bobwhite  to 
agriculture  it  will  be  well  to  emphasize  certain  facts 
developed  by  our  investigation  of  its  food  habits.  In 
the  first  place,  careful  observations  at  Marshall  Hall, 
where  the  acreage  under  cultivation  is  large  and  the 
bobwhite  abundant,  and  less  extended  investigations 
elsewhere  afford  no  evidence  that  the  species  does  ap 
preclable  injury  to  crops  of  grain  or  fruit, 
its  habit  of  destroying  weed  seeds 
nomic    Importance.     For   instance. 


Further, 
of  much   eco- 
it  is  reasonable   to 


assume  that  in  the  States  of  Virginia  and  North 
olina.  from  Sept.  1  to  April  30.  the  season  whe 
largest  proportion  of  weed  seed  is  consumed  by 
there  are  four  bobwhites  to  each  square  mile  of 
or  354,820  in  the  two  States.  The  crop  of  eact 
holds  half  an  ounce  of  seeds  and  is  filled  twice  i 
Since  at  each  of  the  two  daily  meals  weed  seeds: 
stitute  at  least  half  the  contents  of  the  crop, 
quarter  of  an  ounce,  a  half  ounce  daily  is  consum 
each  bird.  On  this  basis  the  total  consumpti 
weed  seeds  by  bobwhite  from  September  1  to  Aj 
in  Virginia  and  North  Carolina  amounts  to  l,341i 
It  is  to  be  remembered  also  if  it  were  not  for 
hawks  and  trespassing  pot  hunters  the  birds  wot 
more  abundant  and  their  services  corresponc 
greater.  Insetcs  form  about  one-third  of  the} 
white's  diet  from  June  1  to  August  31;  and 
tion  similar  to  the  one  employed  above  shows  ti 
tons  of  insects  are  destroyed  during  this  perio 

Among  the  insects  consumed  by  the  bird  are 
very  harmful  pests  as  the  Rockj^  Mountain  locus 
chinch  bug.  the  Colorado  potato  beetle,  the  Me 
cotton  boll  weevil,  cutworms,  the  two  cotton  w 
and  the  army  worm.  The  highly  insectivorous  c 
cause  a  proportionally  greater  distruction  of  ii 
than  the  adult  birds.  Further,  while  many  othei 
ful  birds  confine  themselves  to  the  woodland  or  sv 
or  merely  scout  along  waterways,  hedges  and 
rows,  the  bobwhite  feeds  directly  among  field

it  often  spends  the  night  there  instead  of  flyt 
cover,  as  do  most  birds.  The  facility  with  whi 
passes  from  field  to  field,  either  on  foot  or  oj 
wing,  distributes  its  services  to  an  unusual  deg 

Bobwhite   as  an   Asset  of  the   Farm. 

Every  land  owner  should  realize  the  value  o 
bobwhite,  and  should  demand  from  sportsmen  i 
price  for  the  birds  killed  on  his  property.  With  p 
management  some  farms  of  from  500  to  1,000 
would  probably  yield  a  better  revenue  from  bobv 
than  from  poultry.  Many  farms  in  North  Cai 
derive  a  regular  income  from  this  source.  This  i 
tained  by  leasing  the  shooting  right  to  wealthy  si 
men,  who,  in  localities  where  birds  are  abundant, 
ingly  pay  considerable  sums  for  the  privilege, 
is  probably  the  most  profitable  use  to  which  ct 
poor  lands  in  the  South  can  be  put.  In  some 
in  Maryland,  Virginia  and  North  Carolina  the  si 
man  often  pays  the  landowner  from  five  to  tw 
five  cents  for  every  bird  shot.  In  other  place

Bobwhite  as  Article  of  Food. 

Perhaps  no  game  is  more  generally  known  and 
than  quail.  The  flesh  of  the  bobwhite  is  juicy,  te 
delicately  flavored,  easily  digested  and  nutritiou 
is  well  adapted  to  the  needs  of  invalids.  To  the 
mer's  table,  where  fresh  meat  is  often  not  obtaii 
this  bird  furnishes  a  welcome  supply.  No  game 
much  sought  for  in  market,  and  countless  nur 
are  sold  every  year.  The  writer  knows  of  a  i 
dealer  in  Washington  who  in  1902  sold  100,000 
Yet  the  supply  is  far  short  of  the  demand,  an 
price  is  constantly  rising.  In  connection  witr 
present  price,  which  is  $3  to  $5  a  dozen,  it  is  int€ 
ing  to  recall  Audubon's  statement  that  in  1810 
birds  could  be  bought  for  twelve  cents  a  dozen,  a 
1S31  for  fifty  cents.  Then  they  were  on  the  tabl 
rich  and  poor  alike. 

Bobwhite  as  an   Object  of  Sport. 

Edwyn  Sandys  says  of  the  bobwhite.  "He  tri 
the  king  of  his  race;  and  not  alone  that,  for, 
opinion  of  hosts  of  enthusiastic  sportsmen,  he  i 
best  bird  that  flies."  The  well  known  author, 
Van  Dyke,  says;  "Dear  little  bobwhite  has  br< 
more  rest  to  the  business-wearied  soul,  more  ne^ 
to  tired  humanity  than  nearly  all  other  Ame 
game  combined."  The  pursuit  of  many  kind  of 
is  possible  only  in  distant  wilderness,  where  tra\ 
is  difficult  and  the  exposure  incident  to  the  spoi 
be  dangerous  to  health;  but  the  pursuit  of  t! 
white  belongs  to  open,  accessible  country,  ani 
too  severe  for  men  accustomed  to  sedentary  lis 
thousands  of  such  men  quail  hunting  is  the  y 
means  of  restoration,  and  results  in  a  direct  bene 
the  community,  though  one  not  readily  compul" 
money  value.  At  the  conservative  estimate,  bet 
300.000  and  400,000  sportsmen  go  out  from  cities 
fall  to  hunt  bobwhite.  which  means  a  large  exp 
ture  cf  money,  much  of  which  goes  to  farmers 
hold  shooting  land.  Such  revenue  is  timely,  f 
comes  when  farm  work  yields  small  returns  and 
ploymeitf  is  welcome.  Where  non-resident  lie 
are  required,  with  fee  of  from  $5  to  $25  the  Stat* 
derives  a  direct  income  from  the  sport. 

The  bobwhite  deservedly  stands  at  the 
American  game  birds,  because  it  lies  so  well  | 
dog.  and  when  flushed  springs  from  the  earth  lil 
arrow,  demanding  a  quick  eye  and  a  trained  toui  <* 
the  trigger  to  bring  it  to  bag.  When,  at  the  adi 
of  the  rfunter,  the  covey  explodes  like  a  boml" 
skill  is  sharply  tested  if  he  would  bring  one  o 
whirring,  meteor-like  projectiles  to  the  ground.

say    that    when    they    alight    they    remain    quiet    and 
compress   their  feathers  to   the  body,   with   the   resull 
of  witholding  the  scent.     Many  sportsmen,   therefor' 
before  hunting  a  scattered  covey,   give   them   i 
run  about  and  leave  scent. 

Paradoxical  as  it  may  seem,  sportsmen  extert  a 
powerful  influence  for  the  protection  of  bobwhit 
Many  individuals  and  clubs  own  or  lease  large  tracts, 
where  they  maintain  the  birds  and  shoot  only  the 
surplus.  These  enthusiasts  assist  in  the  enforcement 
of  game  laws,  restock  depleted  coveys,  and  provide 
food  for  the  birds  in  times  of  scarcity.  Certain  clubs 
are  organized  for  the  purpose  of  holding  field  trials. 
the  object  of  which  is  to  test  the  ability  of  competing 
dogs  to  find  and  point  birds.  As  retrieving  is  not  re- 
quired, the  birds  are  not  shot.  One  of  the  best  known 
patrons  of  field  trials  recently  told  the  writer  that  he 
had  not  killed  a  bobwhite  in  ten  years.  A  number  o 
clubs  control  each  a  preserve  of  from  3,000  to   20,000 

-  acres,  on  which  no  shooting  is  allowed — or,  if  1 
mitted,  is  carefully  regulated— and  suitable  measures 
are  taken  for  protecting  birds  and  facilitating  their 
propagation.  These  trials  are  held  in  a  score  or  more 
of  States,  and  in  some  of  the  larger  contests  more 
than  a  hundred  dogs  are  entered.  Some  owners  of 
Held  trial  dogs  have  preserves  of  their  own,  stocked 
with  hundreds  of  pairs  of  bobwhites.  Thousands  of 
live  birds  for  the  above  purposes  are  in  demand  at 
_iigh  prices.  If  the  bobwhite  could  be  domesticated 
and  reared  in  captivity  for  sale,  the  enterprise  would 
doubtless  be  very  profitable.  From  these  facts  it  is 
evident    that    the    sport    of    hunting    bobwhite    con- 

'  tributes  to  the  health  and.  happiness  of  thousands   of 
nen.  and  that  in  various  ways  it  can  be  made  to  add 
to  the  prosperity  of  farmers  and  others  interested.

GOSSIP    FOR    SPORTSMEN. 


A    New   Phase   of  the   Game   Law. 

Charles  Flanders,  who  complains  that  sixteen  hunt- 
ers entered  his  hunting  preserve  over  the  American 
river  last  Sunday,  broke  down  his  fences  and  shot 
ducks  over  the  preserve,  will  not  have  the  offenders 
arrested,  says  the  Sacramento  Union.  He  knows  who 
the  intruders  were,  and  Constable  Mike  Judge  stood 
ready  to  pounce  down  upon  them.  But  Attorney  P.  S 
Driver  advises  Mr.  Flanders  that  he  would  probably 
have  his  trouble  for  his  pains. 

Mr.  Driver  finds  that  a  preserve  or  tract  which  may 
•  be  trespassed  upon  must  have  three  sides  inclosed  to 
the  mile;  that  under  the  statute  a  trespass  is  not 
committed  except  the  entry  is  made  for  some  one 
purpose  set  out  by  the  statute,  and  that  none  of  these 
purposes  were  evidenced  by  the  acts  of  the  shooters. 
Finally  he  holds  the  ducks  shot  were  not  the  property 
of  Mr.  Flanders,  though  flying  over  his  preserve — in 
short,  that  the  conditions  will  not  sustain  a  charge 
of  trespass  under  the  statute,  which  abrogates  the 
common  law-  rule  regarding  that  offense. 


In  the  Citrus   Belt. 

Last  'Sunday  was  another  gunfest  among  the  Los 
Angeles  sportsmen.  Just  enough  clouds  overhead  to 
make  good  shooting  and  the  season  is  yet  young 
enough  to  keep  the  birds  from  being  gun  shy. 

Down  at  the  Ballona  Club  grounds  limit  bags  were 
reached,  while  the  Recreation  Club  reports  good  re- 
sults. 

The  most  important  thing  which  the  day's  meet 
brought  out  was  the  general  tendency  on  the  part 
of  the  club  men  to  cut  down  the  limit  of  the  bags 
in  order  to  preserve  the  shooting.  Members  of  the 
Ballona  and  Santa  Monica  clubs  have  considered  the 
advisability  of  making  the  limit  as  low  as  twenty- 
five.  w-:th  a  closed  preserve  six  days  of  the  week. 
The  reason  that  this  step  is  being  agitated  by  the 
clubmen  is  because  of  the  known  lessening  supply 
of  wild  fowl  along  the  coast. 

With  the  draining  of  the  marshes  and  the  build- 
ing up  of  this  section  of  the  country  the  hunting  is 
bound  to  go.  unless  the  English  method  is  resorted  to. 

At  the  Ballona  Club,  for  instance,  there  is  now  one 
mallard  hole  where  there  used  to  be  four,  and  in  the 
Santa  Ana  marshes  snipe  have  practically  disap- 
peared. There  was  a  time  when  a  professional  hunter 
could  bag  a  hundred  dozen  each  season,  but  now  it  is 
doubtful  whether  he  would  get  one  dozen,  unless  he 
happened  to  be  a  particularly  good  shot. 

Widgeon  are  coming  in  all  along  the  coast,  while 
teal  and  spoonbills  form  good  bags 

In  the  quail  district  at  San  Bernardino.  Saugi 
way  stations  limit  bags  were  reported  in  only  a  few- 
instances  Sunday,    tl  may  be  that  the  man  who  made 
the  limit  made   more  and  is   afraid   to   say   anything 
about  it. 

With  the  followers  of  the  rod  and  reel  a  prosper- 
ous week  has  just  closed.  San  Pedro  has  been  the 
'  .necca  for  all  pilgrimages,  for  croaker  of  the  big. 
nigger  and  biggest  variety  have  invaded  the  harbor. 
Slotterbeck  reports  a  record-breaking  catch  from 
the  wharf,  while  out  on  the  breakwater  ba 
sheephead  are  running. 

At  Catalina  the  launches  have  been  running  into 
the  harbor  at  Avalon  flying  the  tuna  flag,  but  no 
record-breaking  fish   are  reported  as  landed. 

Hermosa  beach  has  reported  good  sport  in  surf  and 
yellow-fin,  but  few  fishermen  care  to  venture  into  pas- 
tures new  so  long  as  Grandpa  Croaker  is  at  San 
Pedro.

Santa  Clara  Quail  and  Duck  Hunting. 

The  exodus  of  sportsmen  to  the  gulches,  the  marshes 
and  mountains  from  San  Jose  since  the  opening  of 
the  duck  season  has  been  phenomenal.  It  would 
seem  as  if  every  man  who  loves  the  sport  or  is  ad- 
dicted to  it  has  gone  forth  fully  fledged  for  the  con- 
quest. The  fever  has  overtaken  tiie  city  denizen,  he 
whose  business  holds  him  gripped  like  a  vise,  in 
urban  haunts  and  dines  in  restaurants  Duck  is  or- 
dered by  50  per  cent  of  the  guests,  but  the  supply  is 
not  equal  to  the  demand.  The  importunity  was  so 
severe  and  fervent  that  what  passed  for  clucks,  but 
which  were  really  "mud  liens."  were  served  to  a  num- 
ber of  leading  citizens  a  few  days  ago.  Incidentally 
it  may  be  said  that  the  host  was  a  San  Jose  real 
estate  dealer  who  prides  himself  on  his  ability  and 
agility   as   a   hunter. 

For  the  various  sportsmen  of  the  garden  city  and 
the  surroundings  the  season  bails  fair  to  he  a  most 
favorable   one. 

Scores  of  San  Joseans  are  now  in  the  vicinity  of 
Warm  Springs,  Alviso,  Alvarado,  Mount  Eden  and 
the  draw-bridge.  All  are  having  the  best  of  luck, 
according  to  the  reports  received.  Quail  are  like- 
wise plentiful.  Those  who  went  out  last  Sunday  and 
the  results  of  their  trips  as  reported  are  as  follows: 

Z.  O.  Field,  25  quail:  Frank  Hudner,  John  Hudner 
and  party,  10S  quail;  Chauncey  Saunders,  S  mallard:

ducks. 

Clarence  Letcher  has  returned  frcm  a  hunting  trip 
along  the  San  Joaquin  near  Antioch.  He  did  not  re- 
turn over  delighted.  He  is  qf  the  opinion  that  the 
best  of  the  hunting  season  has  yet  to  come.  J.  H. 
Asselin  and  Charles  Christopher  hunted  quail  near 
San  Juan  on  the  opening  day  and  both  got  the  limit 
of  25  birds. 

Dr.  A.  M.  Barker  reports  great  enthusiasm  amongst 
duck  and  quail  hunters,  but  the  most  successful  part 
of  the  season  is  in  the  future.  Very  few  birds  have 
come  down  from  the  north  yet.  When  the  cold  weather 
sets  in  there  and  freezes  up  the  feed  then  the  birds 
will  migrate  to  our  marshes  and  hunters  will  have 
a  more  encouraging  story  to  relate. 


A    Hunting   Casualty. 

We  regret  to  note  the  passing  away  of  a  well- 
known  sportsman  last  Sunday  under  peculiarly  dis- 
tressing circumstances.  O.  H.  P.  Sheets,  a  popular 
traveling  representative  of  the  Pacific  Hardware  and 
Steel  Company,  was  stricken  with  heart  failure 
whilst  duck  shooting  with  a  number  of  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Empire  Gun  Club  on  the  Elkhorn  slough 
preserve 

Mr.  Sheets  and  Con  Roman  were  shooting  from 
nearby  blinds  on  one  of  the  ponds  the  morn- 

ing. There  was  a  good  flight  and  both  sportsmen 
were  enjoying  the  shooting.  Roman  suddenly  noticed 
that  his  companion's  gun  was  silent.  Watching  in 
the  direction  of  Sheets'  l.lin  I  for  a  few  moments  he 
.-.  .  at  birds  were  repeatedly  coming  within 
shooting  distance,  but  were  unmolested.  Surmising 
that  all  was  not  right,  he  hastily  made  his  way  to 
Sheets'  blind  and  found  the  latter  lying  back  almost 
unconscious  in  the  tules.  Sheets  was  partially  revived 
ami  then  conveyed  to  the  club  house,  where  he  finally 
i,ed   late  in    tiie   afternoon. 


Halibut   Fishing. 

With  the  coming  on  of  winter,  halibut  are  waxing 
fat,  and  taking  livelier  interest  in  the  more  or  less 
savory  allurements  of  the  piscatorial  experts  who  fre- 
quent the  longer  wharves  al  Eedondo,  Newport,  Port 
Los  Angeles.  Playa  del  Rey  and  others  of  the  western 
beach  resorts  where  his  slab-sided  majesty  flourishes 
in  all  his  voracity  ami  unglorious  ugliness  of  form 
and  feature. 

Prosaic  to  the  limit,  far  more  certain  in  his  fighting 
than  in  his  biting — for,  whatever  else  may  be  said 
to  the  discredit  of  the  halibut,  he  is  always  game 
enough  to  take  a  chance — there  is  a  certain  amount 
of  rough  and  tumble  sport  to  be  had  in  this  prospect- 
ing- the  bottom  with  a  live  smelt  or  deceased  sardine 
carefully  impaled,  and  the  pursuit  of  "Old  Slab- 
sides"  is  one  of  the  most  popular  diversions,  says  the 
Los  Angeles  Times,  of  the  rod  and  reel,  and  hand- 
line  contingents  that  go  out  of  Los  Angeles  Sundays 
and  occasionally  in  the  week,  on  pleasure  bent,  with 
fish   as   an   objective. 

Probably  no  branch  of  the  sinker-shier's  art  tends 
more  surely  to  develop  patience  than  the  pursuit  of 
the  halibut.  In  some  respects  he  is  even  more  vexa- 
tious than  the  croaker,  which  has  long  been  a  sort 
of  standiing  mark  to  swear  by  for  general  "cussed- 
ness"   among  fishermen. 

There  are  times  and  tides,  which,  taken  at  the 
flood,  lead  on  to  success  swift  and  sure  in  halibut 
fishing,  but  they  are  few  and  far  between,  for  day 
in  an  :1  day  out.  these  big  flatfish  are  very  ginger 
biters,  never  swallowing  a  bait  without  first  giving 
it  a  rather  careful  examination  for  hooks  or  other 
deviltry  concealed  therein. 

The  modus  operandi  of  the  average  halibut's  bite 
is  so  characteristic  that  an  experienced  angler  calls 
the  biter  before  he  sees  the  fish.  In  places  like  San 
Pedro  Bay — good,  by  the  way,  for  halibut — resorts 
where  croakers  are  likely  to  come  along  at  any  time, 
one  has  some  excuse  for  going  wrong,  but  in  the  open, 
where  one's  fish  bait  is  usually  on  the  bottom  or 
near  it,  and  croakers  are  not  present,  feeling  a  few- 
tentative  nips  and  a  sensation  as  of  a  fish  chewing 
the  bait  are  circumstancial  evidence  of  the  presence 
of  a  halibut.  As  the  doctors  say,  the  chewing  symp- 
toms are  pathagnomie — that  is  to  say,  they  denote 
only  one  condition,  and  that  is  the  champing  of  a 
halibut's   tooth-studded  jaws. 

It  is  at  this  stage  of  the  game  that  the  tyro  dis- 
tinguishes himself  from  the  veteran  by  getting  busy 
at  once,  searing  away  the  fish,  losing  a  bait,  and  gen- 
erally making  a  mess  of  the  matter.  Meanwhile  the 
old  hand  who  has  had  several  "bites" — it  is  hardly 
piscatorial  good  form  to  speak  of  the  tentative  efforts 
of  a  halibut  as  a  "strike" — is  letting  everything  sev- 
erely alone  and  giving  the  fish  a  chance  to  work  out 
his  own  salvation — or  the  other  thing. 

The  result  is.  in  a  few  minutes,  unmistakable  evi- 
dence indicates  a.  hooked  fish;  the  gaff  is  brought 
into  iplay,  and  before  long  a  big,  fat  prize  is  thumping 
away  on  the  wharf  deck. 

The  manner  of  pursuing  the  halibut  is  so  delight- 
fully simple  that  one  might  well  think  nobody  ignor- 
ant of  it,  but  'the  fact  remains  that  very  few  go  after 
these  big  flat  fellow-s  in  the  most  '  killing"  manner. 

A  sinker  heavy  enough  to  carry  the  bait  down  is 
needed,  and  when  a  heavy  one  is  employed,  it  is  ad- 
visable to  let  the  line  run  free  through   it. 

With  '"sliding  tackle,"  well  so-called,  a  halibut 
picks  up  a  bait,  starts  slowly  off  with  it;  encounters 
no  resistance,  and  swallows  the  mouthful.  A  strike 
with  the  wrist  usually  hooks  him  deep,  and  by  careful 
handling  he  is  seldom  lost. 

Early  winter  is  the  best  of  all  seasons  for  halibut 
fishing,  and  those  who  like  the  game  are  now  in- their 
element.  At  nearly  all  the  resorts,  fine  specimens  ar* 
being  taken  every  day,  an  abundance  of  bait  fish  in 
the  water  being  of  great  assistance  to  the  anglers. 

Fine  wire  leaders  are  quite  advisable  in  halibut 
fishing,  as  the  scissors-like  jaws  of  the  quairy  often 
bite  the  best  gut  in  two  at  a  snap,  while  the  mouth- 
ful of  sharp-pointed  teeth  is  sure  to  fray  a  leader 
dangerously. 

Cut  into  steaks,  the  "filet  of  sole"  of  the  markets, 
halibut  are  very  good  eating,  though  no  stretch  oi 
the  imagination  could  construe  them  as  a  delicate 
fish.  They  are  a  most  valuable  source  of  food  supply 
— or  were;  the  market  fishers  have  in  many  sections 
cleaned  them  out  within  the  last  few  years. 


Largest  Buck  of  the  Season. 

To  I  K.  Miller  of  Pacific  Grove  belongs  the  honor 
of  having  hagged  the  largest  buck  reported  killed  this 
season  in  California.  Three  weeks  ago  this  i>"  k,  a 
splendid  four  pronged  animal  that  soled  over  200 
pounds,  undressed,  was  laid  low  in  Denica  i 
about  25  miles  east  of  old  Carmel  Mission.

Hunting    and    Fishing    on    Submerged    Lands. 

A  decision  vitally  affecting  every  hunting  and  fish- 
ing club  in  Illinois  and  millions  of  dollars  worth  of 
property  was  handed  down  recently  by  the  Supreme 
Court,  which  decides  that  owners  and  lessees  of  sub- 
merged lands,  whether  the  surface  be  navigable  or 
not,  are  entitled  to  sole  rights. to  hunt  and  fish. 

The  case  comes  from  Mason  county,  where  2800 
acres  of  land,  belonging  to  John  H.  Schulte.  were 
submerged  by  the  construction  of  locks  and  dams  in 
the  Illinois  River  and  by  the  inflow  of  the  sanitary 
canal.  Meredith  Warren  and  others  hunted  and 
fished  on  the  property  and  Schulte  asked  for  an  in- 
junction. 

The  Appellate  Court  refused  to  grant  the  injunc- 
tion, thereby  destroying  not  only  Schulte's  rights  of 
control  over  the  fish  and  game  in  the  waters  on  his 
land,  but  making  void  the  leases  of  hundreds  of  hunt- 
ing and  fishing  clubs  which  have  held  out  preserves 
on  similar  land  along  the  Illinois  River. 

The  niinois  Supreme  Court  holds  that  along  rivers 
title  t"  land  extends  to  the  middle  line,  while  on  lakes 
title  extends  to  the  edge  as  measured  by  the  govern- 
ment survey,  while  the  bed  of  the  lake  belongs  to  tin* 
State. 

The  easemeni  of  the  public  to  navigation  over  sub- 
merged land  does  not  necessarily  carry  with  it  an 
easement  to  hunt  and  fish.  The  Appellate  Courl  was 
reversed   and  :i    permanent   injunction   ordered.

Black    Bass   Plentiful. 

A  report  from  Sacramento  stales  that  Capitol  City 
anglers  are  enjoying  better  fishing  than  ever  before, 
black  bass  being  particularly  plentiful.  This  condi- 
tion is  also  credited  to  the  efficiency  of  the  service 
given  by  officers  employed  by  the  Fish  and  Game 
Commission,  one  of  the  most  industrious  and  effective 
officers  being  Game  Warden  George  Neale  of  that 
oountv,  according  to  the  declaration  of  sportsmen. 
ison  Mr.  Neale  has  captured  a  number  of  pi- 
rate fishermen  from  Black  Diamond,  and  in  some  in- 
stances has  secured  conviction,  while  In  other  case, 
the  men  have  escaped  punishment  because  of  de- 
fects in  the  law. 

r  the  provisions  of  the  present  statute  it  is 
unlawful  to  catch  black  bass  with  a  net,  consequently 
it  would  be  nest  to  impossible  for  a  fisherman  to 
take  500  or  1000  pounds  of  bass  with  the  hook,  yet 
if  a  fisherman  is  caught  with  that  quantity  of  fish  in 
his  boat,  as  has  been  done,  he  frequently  escapes 
conviction  bv  saying  that  -he  fish  were  caught  with 
hook  and  line.  No  matter  how  preposterous  this  may 
seem,  unless  somebody  saw  the  fish  taken  with  a 
net  it  would  be  impossible  to  secure  conviction. 

The  fact  that  a  fisherman  has  a  net  in  his  boat 
would,  of  course,  be  a  suspicious  circumstance,  and 
an  officer  might  be  morally  certain  that  the  fish  had 
been  caught  with  that  net,  but  that  would  not  be 
sufficient  to  secure  conviction,  since  it  is  the  cus- 
tom of  every  unlawful  fisherman  to  wound  the  mouth 
of  each  fish  by  scratching  it  with  a  hook,  so  that  if 
apprehended  with  the  unlawful  catch  he  may  be  able 
to  point  to  the  wound  to  show  that  the  fish  had  been 
hooked.  , 

Anglers  draw  attention  to  the  fact  that  thousands 
of  dollars  have  been  expended  in  planting  bass  all 
along  the  Sacramento  River,  and  near  Clarksburg, 
where  the  fish  thrive  and  increase  wonderfully.  It  is 
this  region  of  the  lower  part  of  the  river  that  is  most 
frequented  by  the  pirate  fishermen  with  their  big  nets, 
and  it  is  believed  that  unless  something  can  be  done 
to  stop  their  depredations  the  supply  of  both  striped 
and  black  bass  will  be  seriously  diminshed,  if  not  de- 
pleted. 

A  plan  suggested  to  curb  these  illegal  fishing  meth- 
ods is  to  establish  a  creel  limit  of  say  twenty-five  or 
even  fifty  pounds  to  the  individual  per  day,  just 
as  the  bag  limit  in  ducks  is  established.  In  this  way 
it  would  be  unprofitable  for  the  illegal  fisherman  to 
use  their  destructive  nets  and  they  would  give  up 
such  traffic,  for  if  they  knew  they  could  be  convicted 
for  having  more  than  fifty  pounds  of  fish  in  their 
possession  they  would  not  longer  make  the  arduous 
trips  up  the  river  with  their  expensive  nets,  since  the 
lawful  catch  would  not  pay  them  and  the  risk  of  con- 
viction would  be  too  great. 


these  have  disappeared,  probably  coming  down  into 
the  lower  woods,  and,  in  the  case  of  the  pheasant, 
hunting  out  the  alder  ridge  and  willow  creek  bot- 
toms. 


Big  Wild  Game  Was  Plentiful. 

Few  among  the  present  generation  realize  that 
when  their  fathers  came  to  this  section,  the  valley 
was  alive  with  game  of  the  larger  kinds  of  most  every 
description  common  to  the  West,  several  specimens  of 
which,  notably  the  grizzly  and  antelope,  have  become 
extinct  hereabouts.  Such  was,  however,  the  case,  and 
one  did  not  have  to  search  far  for  them,  either,  says 
the  Chico  Record. 

•■The  plains  around  Willows  were  thick  with  ante- 
lope, while  the  hills  just  back  of  the  town  were  fav- 
orite haunts  of  the' grizzly.  The  same  condition  ex- 
isted on  this  side  of  the  river,  and  in  the  neighborhood 
of  the  Marysville  Buttes  in  particular.  The  writer 
h"as  often  heard  his  father  relate  that  during  the  early 
part  of  1S50.  while  he  was  engaged  in  freighting  on 
the  Sacramento  "River  in  a  whale  boat,  that  when 
camped  near  the 'Buttes  in  the  early  morning  great 
herds  of  elk.  deer  and  antelope  would  be  seen  feeding 
their  way  back  to  the  rocky  peaks  which  afforded 
them  security  during  the  daytime,  from  the  marshes 
at  their  base,  in  numbers  which  made  them  resemble 
herds  of  domestic  cattle.  Frequently,  too,  could  be 
seen  immense  grizzlies  in  pairs  also  seeking  the  same 
place  for  their  day's  rest.  Except  a  few  "tule"  deer, 
these  have  long  since  been  all  killed  off,  and  these, 
too.  will  before  many  years  have  followed.  The  geese 
and  ducks  which  existed  on  the  plains  at  that  time  in 
myriads  are  also  becoming  scarcer  year  by  year,  and 
with  the  invasion  of  the  breeding  places  in  the  far 
north  by  gold  hunters,  timbermen  and  farmers,  the 
date  of  their  almost  total  disappearance  can  almost 
be  presaged. 


Sultan    River  a    Hunters'   Paradise. 

The  Sultan  River  country  is  looked  upon  by  Seattle 
sportsmen  as  a  region  offering  some  of  the  best  sport 
to  be  had.  Sultan  Basin  is,  of  course,  the  best  spot 
in  that  wild  section,  but  it  is  a  hard  trip  into  the 
basin,  and  takes  longer  than  the  average  huntsman 
can  take  away  from  his  business..  Also,  it  is  not 
necessary  to  go  so  far  up  the  creek  to  get  good  shoot- 
ing, whl.h  can  be  had  not  i e  than  four  miles  from 

the  village  of  Sultan.'  on  the  Great  Northern  railroad. 
A  very  good,  but  very  little  used  road  leads  from 
Sultan  to  the  Habaker  mining  Claim,  four  and  a  half 
miles  out,  and  from  the  Habaker  a  trail  leads  through 
three  mites  of  overgrown  burn  that  is  ideal  deer  coun- 
try. The  trail  leads  through  the  brush  and  bends 
round  down  to  Sultan  River,  and  on  the  river  deer 
can  be  seen  nearly  every  morning  or  late  evening. 
A  second  roa  om  Sultan  station  up  the  north 

bank  of  the  river  to  the  Sultan  Gold  Mining  Com- 
pany'.^, camp,  and  a  mile  ahove  the  camp.  In  another 
big  burn,  is  more  good  deer  country.  Here,  as  in  the 
Snoqu.i1  ry,    there    are    deserted    cabins    on 

nearly 
Hunting   in    the    Sultan    country    is    not    limited    to 

deer.     For  a   montl tie    tin  i    will  be  good  black 

bear  shootii  igar  are  thick  enough  to  be 

a  nuisance.    Up  to  the   fust  of  the  present  month  there 

nid  pheasants  to  be  had.  but  latterly 


A    Big   Silvertip    Killed. 

Early  this  month  a  rare  specimen  in  the  big  game  line 
was  bagged  near  Montrose,  Colo.  Bears  are  not  by 
any  means  scarce  in  that  section,  but  this  fellow  was 
a  bit  out  of  the  ordinary  for  he  weighed  1200  pounds, 
half  a  ton.  and  proved  to  be  the  largest  silvertip  ever 
killed  in   that  country. 

Nine  men  surrounded  the  bear  in  a  dense  thicket 
and  shot  at  it  several  times.  Finally  Oscar  Lampman 
got  off  his  horse  to  get  a  better  shot  at  the  bear.  J. 
K.  Gill,  who  was  about  fifty  feet  away,  called  to  him 
to  look  out,  as  the  bear  was  charging.  Lampman 
jumped  on  his  horse  as  the  bear  ran  otward  him  and 
rose  on  its  hind  feet.  Mr.  Lampman  turned  in  his 
saddle  and  shot  the  bear  squarely  between  the  eyes 
when  the  infuriated  animal  was  not  over  six  feet  from 
his  horse,  which  had  pushed  its  way  into  the  brush 
as  far  as  possible  to  avoid  the  bear.  The  bear  fell 
dead  at  the  horse's  feet.  Gill  was  unable  to  shoot 
for  fear  he  would  hit  Lampman.  This  bear  had  been 
killing  many  cattle  in  that  section  and  is  believed  to 
be  30  years  old. 


Striped    Bass. 

The  San  Antonio  and  one  or  two  sloughs  in  that 
vicinity,  also  Shell  slough,  near  Shellville,  are  giving 
anglers  excellent  sport  with  the  striped  bass.  Big 
catches  are  not  the  rule,  but  quite  a  number  of  large 
fish  have  been  taken.  W.  T.  Hillegass  landed  three 
fish  on  Thursday.  They  weighed  22,  5  and  4  pounds, 
respectively.  A.  M.  Cumming's  take  was  four  bass — 
IS,  10  and  two  4  pounders.  Sam  Wells  landed  a  7 
pound  fish.  A  number  of  fish  running  from  10  to  20 
pounds  have  been  caught  within  the  past  week  and 
the  sport  seems  to  be  improving  daily,  much  to  the 
satisfaction  of  a  large  number  of  local  anglers. 


Local    Conditions. 

Duck  hunting-,  excepting  on  odd  days  when  the 
weather  has  been  exceptionally  fine,  continues  good 
generally.  The  birds  are  about  the  bay  marshes  in 
great  numbers,  but  are  beginning  to  get  more  cau- 
tious daily,  for  they  have  had  a  lively  bombardment 
for  the  past  three  weeks.  In  consequence  the  open 
waters  of  Suisun,  San  Pablo  and  certain  portions  of 
San  Francisco  bays  are  a  safe  haven  in  the  day  time 
during  the  pleasant  weather.  Stormy  weather  is 
what  the  gunners  now  want;  the  season  in  this  re- 
spect has  been  very  backward  so  far. 

Canvasback  ducks  are  already  here  in  fairly  plenti- 
ful numbers  and  generally  in  fine  condition.  Pete 
Walsh  of  Black  Point,  one  day  last  week  shot  a  "can" 
on  Petaluma  creek  that  weighed  four  and  one-half 
pounds. 

Northern  birds  are  still  arriving  daily  in  large 
flocks.  The  first  rains  will'  scatter  the  flocks  now 
here,  but  other  birds  will  soon  take  their  place. 

Quail  hunting  conditions,  locally,  so  to  say,  have 
not  changed  to  any  extent.  Cooler  weather  and  a 
rain  or  two  is  needed  to  promote  tne  best  phases  of 
the  sport.  Despite  the  unfavorable  weather  condi- 
tions, hunters  returning  from  Point  Reyes  and  other 
stations  along  the  North  Shore  last  Sunday,  brought 
back  between  them  all  over  500  birds. 


The  shooting  of  ducks  on  the  marshes  to  San  Jose 
continues  unremittingly.  Favorable  reports  have  also 
been  received  from  Redwood  City  and  other  points 
adjacent  to  the  waters  of  San  Francisco  Bay.  The 
long  continued  fair  weather  has  greatly  aided  hunters 
in  their  quest  of  mallard,  sprig  or  teal  as  the  ducks 
will  scatter  overland  to  fresh  water  creeks  and  lakes 
upon  the  first  rain-storm. 


SPOKANE   SHOW. 


A  total  of  about  eighty  dogs  made  up  the  entries 
for  the  third  annual  show  of  the  Spokane  Kennel  Club 
held  at  Spokane,  Wash.  October  11th  to  14th.  The 
show  was  held,  as  usual  in  connection  with  the  annual 
State  fair.  The  show  developed  more  in  the  nature  of 
a  local  exhibit  than  as  a  representative  bench  show. 
Spokane  is  not  favorably  located,  it  seems  for  a  big 
entry  at  this  time  of  the  year.  The  Seattle  fanciers, 
being  mostly  in  the  disqualification  list,  were  not 
represented.  Portland.  Victoria,  Tacoma  and  other 
points,  however,  contributed  some  good  dogs.  The 
standard  of  quality,  generally,  was  very  good.  James 
Cole  of  Kansas  City,  judged  all  classes.  The  officers 
of  the  club  are:  John  Ml  Bunn,  president;  C.  D. 
Bond,  vice  president;  A.  B.  Jackson,  secretary-treas- 
urer.

TRAQE   NOTES. 


What   Causes  the   Rush? 

Never  in  the  history  of  sports  afield  on  the  Coas! 
has  there  been  such  a  heavy  sale  of  firearms  am 
ammunition  as  has  prevailed,  particularly  in  Cali- 
fornia, since  the  opening  of  the  hunting  season. 

Sptortsmen  these  days  are  up-to-date  and  wel 
posted  on  what  the  manufacturers  and  dealers  offe 
them — needless  to  say  merit  counts  all  the  time. 

A  significant  fact  in  this  connection  is  the  follow 
ing  telegram  recently  sent  to  the  Ithaca  Arms  Com 
pany,  Ithaca,  N.  T.: 

"We  are  cleaned  out  of  every  12  and  16-gauage 
Ithaca  gun.  Can't  you  rush  us  some.  Everybody 
fighting  for  them.  Phil.  B.  Bekeart  Co.

The  Ithaca  Gun  Company  have  been  running  night     bus  at  the  same  shoot   won  the  cup  with   540  out  of 
and  day  for  the  entire  year  and  have  been  behind  or-     < 
ders    all    the    season    notwithstanding    a    capacity    oi 
nearly  100  guns  a  day.     It  is,  we  repeat,  significant— 
sportsmen  want  good  guns  and  know  one  when  it  is 

USWould    there    be    such    a    big    demand    for    Ithaca, 
if  they  were  not  just  what  was  wanted?

Parker  gun,  and  it  is  good  shooting. 


Peters  Ammunition   at   Sea   Girt. 

The  military  competitions  held  at  Sea  Girt,  N.  J., 
August  21st  to  September  29th,  gave  new  emphasis  to 
the  fact  demonstrated  in  previous  years,  that    Peters     Captain   W.    G.    Hudson;    the   Hayes   Match,   won   by 


Supreme  Test  of  Winchester  Ammunition. 

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


factory   loaded   cartridges   are   peculiarly   adapted   for

noteworthy  single  achievement  of  the  meeting  was 
the  record  made  by  Lieut.  Tewes,  who  not  only  won 
the  Wimbledon  Cup,  but  also  the  Grand  Laflin  &  Rand 
Aggregate  for  the  best  total  score  in  the  Wimbledon,

Trophy    and    Spencer   matches.      Lieut.    Tewes'    score 


Captain  W.  B.  Martin,  who  established  a  new  world's 
record  by  making  twenty-four  straight  bull's  eyes,

most  skeptical  rifle  expert.  The  Jones  Rapid  Fire 
Match,  tied  for  by  Mr.  A.  L.  Laudensack,  Mr.  W.  D. 
Kittler  and  Mr.  C.  S.  Hudson;  the  All  Comers  Pistol

Some  Corking  Good  Amateur  Records. 

Jay  D.  Greene  of  Avon,  N.  T.,  a  strict  amateur,  won 
high  average  at  Leroy,  N.  Y.,  shoot.  October  5th,  in  a 
gale  of  wind,  breaking  129  out  of  150,  a  magnificent 
showing  under  the  conditions.  Mr.  Greene  is  a  popu- 
lar Parker  gun   man. 

M.  E.  Atchison  of  Giddings,  Tex ,  at  Paris,  Tex., 
September  25th  to  28th,  won  high  amateur  average 
with  437  out  of  475  at  19  yards  rise  out  of  a  possible 
475.  In  the  live  bird  race  at  30  yards'  rise  Mr.  Atchi- 
son killed  19  out  of  20.  Mr.  Atchison  always  uses  a 
Parker  gun. 

Mr.  J.  S.  Thomas  of  Pleasant  Hill,  Mo.,  on  Septem- 
ber 2Sth,  at  Rich  Hill  shoot,  broke  170  out  of  175;  out 
of  the  last  130  breaking  129  with  a  straight  run  of  100 
At  the  same  shoot  W.  A.  Smith  of  Greenwood,  Mo.,  and 


winning's  made  with  Peters  ammunition  were  as  fol- 
lows: 

Inspectors'  Match,  won  by  Lieut  K.  K.  V.  Casey; 
Seabury  Long  Range,  won  by  Lieut.  W.  A.  Tewes; 
Seabury  Long  Range,  won  by  Lieut.  W.  A.  Tewes; 
Reading,  won  by  Lieut.  H.  L.  Smith;  Disappearing 
Target  Revolver,  won  by  Lieut.  J.  Stedje;  Any  Re- 
volver, won  by  Thos.  Anderton;  Jones'  Rapid  Fire 
Revolver,  won  by  Thos.  Anderton;  Hale  Match,  sec- 
ond, Lieut.  W\  A.  Tewes:  Leech  Cup  Match,  second, 
Wm.  F.  Leushner;  President's  Match,  third,  Major 
R.  W.  Evans;  All  Comers  Military  Revolver,  Thos. 
Anderton  first,  R,  W.  Evans  third,  W.  F.  Leushner 
fourth;  Spencer  Match,  Lieut.  Casey  second,  Capt. 
Cookson  fourth,  W.  F.  Leushner  sixth;  Meaney 
Match.  Lieut.  Tewes  second,  Lieut.  Casey  third, 
Ben  -South  fourth;  Lieuts.  Tewes  and  Casey 
tied  the  winner  in  this  event  but  were  out- 
ranked; Hayes  Match,  Lieut.  C.  S.  Benedict  second, 
•Capt.  W.  W.  Cookson  third;  N.  J.  S.  R.  A.  Trophy 
Match,  Major  R.  W.  Evans  third,  Lieut.  C.  S.  Bene- 
dict fourth,  Lieut.  W.  A.  Tewes  fifth,  Capt.  Cookson 
sixth;  All  Comers  Match,.  Major  R.  W.  Evans  third, 
Wm.  F.  Leushner  fourth;  Consolation  Match,  C.  F. 
Silvester  second ;  Wimbledon  Match,  Lieut.  Casey 
second.  Seven  of  the  high  ten  scores  made  with 
Peters   cartridges. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  there  was  some  very  fine 
work  done  in  some  of  the  other  matches.  Lieut. 
Casey  in  the  Spencer  and  Seabury  matches  at  800 
yards  made  a  total  of  20  consecutive  bulls.  The  finish 
of  the  Wimbledon  Cup  Match  was  very  interesting. 
Lieut.   Tewes  was  almost  the  last  man  to  shoot  and 


"Billy"  Crosby,  shooting  the  "Leader"  shells,  the 
shells  he  always  shoots,  did  funny  things  to  the  inan- 
imate targets  at  the  New  London,  la.,  tournament. 
Arriving  at  New  London  the  evening  before  the  shoot, 
direct  from  the  Pacific  Coast,  he  seemed  none  the 
worse  from  his  long  journey  across  the  continent,  and 
started  in  the  next  morning  by  pulverizing  targets, 
and  after  missing  his  ninth  target  ran  out  271  straight, 
fifty  of  these  being  from  the  twenty-two  yard  mark. 
For  the  tournament  he  scored  592  out  of  the  600  shot 
at  That  old  reliable  shot,  Mr.  Garrett  of  Colorado 
Springs,  who,  by  the  bye,  is  another  champion  who 
always  shoots  the  "Leader"  shells,  won  the  high  ama- 
teur average  of  the  tournament  with  the  splendid 
score  of  577  out  of  the  600,  making  a  run  of  145 
straight  during  the  tournament,  thus  it  will  be  seen 
that,  both  the  expert  and  amateur  high  averages,  also 
the  longest  straight  runs,  expert  and  amateur,  were 
rnade  by  shooters  that  used  the  time  tried  and  reliable 
"Leader"  shells. 

At  the  tournament  of  the  Spokane,  Wash.,  Rod  and 
Gun  Club,  Mr.  C.  M.  Powers,  an  amateur,  shooting 
Winchester  "Leader"  shells  carried  off  the  honors  by 
winning  the  high  average  of  the  shoot.  When  it  is 
taken  into  consideration  that  such  world  renown  ex- 
pert shots  as  Fred.  Gilbert,  Jack  Fanning,  Rollo  A. 
Heikes  and  T.  A.  Marshall,  were  in  attendance  at  this 
shoot  it  speaks  volumes  for  Mr.  Powers'  keen  eye, 
steady  nerve  and  the  reliable  "Leader"  shells.  At 
every  tournament  held  on  the  Pacific  Coast  in  which 
the  Eastern  experts  took  part,  namely:  The  Inter- 
state Shoot  held  at  Ingleside,  the  Medford  (Ore.) 
tournament,  the  Portland  (Ore.)  tournament,  the  Ta- 


was  generally  conceded  to  have  the  match  won,  before     coma  (Wash.)  tournament,  the  Seattle  (Wash.)   tour- 


his   last   shot   was  fired.     He  wras  just   as   careful   in 


George  K.  Mackay,  Scammon,   Kans.,   tied  on  second     this    shot    as   his   previous    ones,    however,    and    after 


with  16S  out  of  175.     All  three  shooters  shot  Parker 
guns. 

F.  D.  Alkire  of  Williamsport,  O.,  at  the  Cincinnati 
tournament,  September  ISth  to  21st,  won  high  ama- 
teur average,  534  out  of  600.     R    S.  Rhodes  of  Colum- 


deliberate  preparation  and  careful  gauging  of  wind 
and  light,  he  fired,  scoring  a  center  bull's  eye.  All 
these  performances  indicate  that  Peters  primers,  the 
now  famous  Peters  bullet,  and  Peters  manner  of  load- 
ing are  not  approached  by  any  other  goods. 


nament,  and  the  Spokane  (Wash.)  tournament — the- 
shooters  that  used  the  Winchester  "Leader"  shells 
carried  off  the  premier  honors,  making  a  clean  sweep 
at  all  these  places  for  Winchester  goods. 


On  a  hot  day  drink  Jackson's  Napa  Soda  lemonade 
and  be  refreshed. 


SHEEP  DIPPING  PLANT. 


An  extensive  plant  for  dipping  sheep 
has  been  installed  by  the  Bellevue 
ranch,  San  Joaquin  county,  which  for 
thoroughness  of  treatment  and  econ- 
omy of  operation  is  an  advance  on  for- 
mer methods.  The  plant  is  on  a  hill- 
side. At  the  top  is  a  furnace  of  ce- 
ment with  vats  for  boiling  the  dip, 
which  consists  of  three  parts  sulphur 
and  two  parts  quick  lime,  writh  suffi- 
cient water  to  give  the  desired  strength. 
The  dip  is  delivered  into  a  cement 
trench,  with   the  sheep  corrals   at  one 


The  sheep  are  passed  into  the  trench 
at  one  end,  care  being  taken  to  sub- 
merge each  animal.  Each  sheep  has 
to  swim  the  length  of  the  trench  filled 
with  dip.  This  saturates  the  wool 
with  the  sulphur  solution.  At  the  far- 
ther end  of  the  trench  a  leadway  guides 
the  animals  into  corrals  with  cement 
floors  sloping  back  into  the  trench, 
thus  saving  the  dripping  solution.  The 
sheep  are  held  until  the  wool  has 
drained  the  excess  dip,  and  are  then 
passed  on  to  a  holding  corral.  A  grav- 
ity drain  empties  the  dip  trench  when 
the  work  is  done.  By  means  of  this 
•very  simple  and  efficient  arrangement 
5000  head  of  sheep  can  be  treated  in 
one  day  by  five  men.

Last  year  5000  sheep  were  fattened 
at  Greeley,  Colorado,  by  a  beet  sugar 
company.  They  were  divided  up  in 
pens  of  700  to  800  sheep,  each  pen  In 
charge  of  a  feeder  whose  business- it 
was  to  watch  them  closely.  October 
11,  at  the  time  they  were  put  on  feed, 
they  averaged  seventy-four  pounds 
each  and  during  the  first  three  weeks 
made  a  gain  of  two  and  a  half  pounds 
a  head  weekly.  The  ration  was  ten 
pounds  of  pulp  to  one-half  pound  of 
alfalfa  hay  daily.  To  this  ration  a 
small  portion  of  sugar  beet  molasse3 
was  eventually  added.  The  experi- 
ments indicated  that  the  molasses 
tended  to  make  a  firmer  flesh  and  that 
sheep  fed  with  it  as  part  of  the  ration 
shrunk  less  in  shipping.

Potatoes  that  are  too  small  to  mar- 
ket may  be  used  to  advantage  as  a 
food  for  young  pigs.  Many  farmers 
consider  it  no  loss  to  have  from  two 
to  three  per  cent  of  their  potato  crop 
too  small  for  commercial  use  as  it 
gives  them  such  a  good  winter  pig 
food.  It  requires  but  a  short  time  to 
cook  them,  in  which  way  they  are  very 
beneficial.  A  little  salt  added  while 
they  are  boiling  will  give  them  a  rel- 
ish.

ALFALFA    FOR    HORSES. 


It  seems  to  be  the  general  opinion 
that  alfalfa  hay  is  not  a  good  horse 
feed,  especially  for  horses  on  the  road 
or  for  fast  work.  Now  I  would  like  to 
correct  this,  as  alfalfa  is  too  good  a 
feed  to  be  condemned  for  any  purpose. 
The  fact  is.  nearly  every  one  who 
feeds  horses  gives  [hem  too  much 
hay  and  this  applies  to  all  kinds  01 
hay.  If  a  horse  is  given  about  what 
alfalfa  it  should  have,  say,  twelve  or 
fifteen  pounds  daily  for  horses  of 
1000  pounds  and  a  fair  grain  ration, 
the  animal  will  travel  just  as  far  and 
just  as  fast  as  with  other  kinds  of  hay 
and    in    better   condition. 

i  il  if  a  horse  is  allowed  to  eat  thirty 
to  forty  pounds  a  day,  which  they  will 
of  alfalfa  if  it  is  given  them  the  horse 
is  sure  to  become  short-winded  and 
sloppy-  One  of  the  famous  trotting 
horses  on  the  Eastern  turf  with  a 
record  below  2:03  is  fed  alfalfa  as  its. 
only  hay.  A  good  ration  for  the  horse 
of  any  kind  of  feed  is  about  one  pound 
of  grain  and  one  and  a  half  pounds  of 
hay  to  each  one  hundred  pounds  of 
horse  and  this  would  apply  to  alfalfa. 
In  fact,  the  horse  should  do  better  on 
the  alfalfa  than  with  other  hays  and 
with   less  grain. 

This  might  be  the  opportune  time  to 
say  that  the  majority  of  the  farmer*, 
feed  too  much  hay  of  all  kinds  to  their 
horses.  In  fact,  the  horse  barn,  to  my 
notion,  is  where  one  of  the  greatest 
wastes  of  the  faTm  can  be  found. 
Horses  will  travel  better,  stand  more 
work  and  be  healthier  if  fed  less  hay. 
Most  farmers  give  them  all  they  can 
eat  and  aim  to  have  them  waste 
enough  to  make  their  bedding,  when 
they  have  plenty  of  good  straw  going 
to  waste  on  the  farm.  The  London 
cab  horses  which  are  considered  the 
finest  and  best  kept  in  the  world,  have 
but  two  hours  in  the  morning  and  two 
hours  in  the  evening  with  the  noon 
hour   for  feeding. 

At  eight  o'clock  in  the  evening  every 
scrap  of  feed  is  taken  away  from  them 
and  they  are  bedded  for  the  night. 
The  average  farmer  would  think  his 
horses  were  being  starved  if  he  found 
no  food  in  the  manger  after  eight  or 
fiine  cijclock  in  the  evening.  The 
feeding  of  alfalfa  to  horses  does  away 
with  the  old-time  bran  mash  once  a 
week,  which  was  considered  so  neces- 
sary. A  great  many  alfalfa  feeder.-, 
have  from  experience  decided  that  the 
first  cutting  of  alfalfa  is  best  for 
horses,  or  alfalfa  that  is  fairly  coarse, 
or  some  that  had  come  to  full  bloom. 
The  idea  is,  although  they  do  not  know 
it,  that  in  feeding  this  kind  of  alfalfa 
the  horse  gets  about  the  amount  if 
should  have.  The  horse  picks  it  over 
and  takes  the  best  of  it  and  manages 
to  get  about  what  it  should  have. 

If  horses  were  given  the  same 
amount  of  good,  well  made  alfalfa  hay 
they  would  eat  it  all  and  then  would 
have  too  much.  An  overworked  horse 
or  one  run  down  and  thin  will  pick 
oip  and  get  fat  and  in  good  condition 
on  alfalfa  pasture  quicker  than  on  any 
other  grazing  known  and  when  a  grain 
ration  is  added  they  have  been  known 
to  put  on  as  high  as  three  pounds  a 
day.  Horses  will  eat  and  do  well  on 
the  refuse  from  sheep  feeding  lots 
where  alfalfa  has  been  fed,  while 
on  straight  timothy  it  will  get  thin 
with   no  work. — I,  D.  O'Donnell. 


SECURING    GOOD     LAYERS. 


While  every  farmer  should  resort  to 
the  pure  breeds  for  the  best  results, 
there  are  some  matters  pertaining  to 
the  management  of  poultry  which  the 
farmer  or  poultryman  must  personally 
attend  to,  as  he  cannot  delegate  the 
duties  to  others.  To  have  a  flock  of 
good  layers  next  year  each  of  the  pul- 
lets should  be  observed  carefully,  as  it 
is  only  by  daily  observation  of  the 
members  'of  the  flock  that  a  selection 
of  the  best  can  be  made.  The  desired 
results  are  not  always  accomplished  in 
one  year.  To  bring  a  flock  up  to  a 
hik-h  degree  of  efficiency  depends 
largely  upon  the  management,  yet  one 
must  breed  for  something  better  every 
year.  The  best  pullets  should  be  the 
foundation,  and  with  careful  sH'-rtion 
every  year  there  will  be  progress  and 
improvement  It  le  a  problem  to  pick 
out  the  most  suitable  breeds,  as  cli- 
mate, markets  and  other  conditions 
are  factors;  but  each  farmer  can  take 
the  best  of  his  pullets  .very  year,  as 
well  as  retain  any  meritorious  hens 
that  have  given  satisfactory  results. 
There  is  no  known  breed  that  satisfies 
all   farmers.      Poultrymen   and    farmers 


have  their  preferences.  experience 
teai  hing  each  that  the  best  breed  is 
the  one  adapted  to  his  farm.  "When 
introducing  new  blood,  aim  to  secure 
stock  fr«om  yards  that  contain  hardy 
fowls,  and  do  not  fail  to  cull  and  dis- 
pose of  all  unpromising  stock. — Ex- 
change. 


POULTRY    NOTES. 


Meilicine  is  seldom  necessary  for 
fowls   that   are   properly  cared  for. 

Air  slaked  lime  is  valuable  in  many 
ways  in  the  poultry  house  as  a  disin- 
fectant. 

It  is  almost  impossible  to  keep  more 
than  one  breed  on  a  farm  without  get- 
ting mixed. 

Parched  corn  is  the  best  form  in 
which  to  give  charcoal  to  poultry.  It 
is  far  better  than   charcoal  alone. 

The  tendency  of  most  poultry  keep- 
ers is  to  make  the  roost  s  too  high. 
They  should  be  from  eighteen  inches 
to  two  feet  high,  and  about  three  or 
four  inches  wide. 

The  fowls  and  animals  have  sense 
enough  to  recognize  good  treatment 
from  bad.  They  reason,  and  their  dis- 
positions are  such  that  a  little  persua- 
sion will  go  farther  than  violence,  in 
accomplishing   good    results. 

Usually  male  birds  are  as  good  about 
dusting  themselves  as  the  hens,  and 
need  to  be  looked  after  more  closely. 
Free  access  to  a  good  dust  bath  will 
usually  control  the  lice  on  the  hens, 
and  in  the  henhouse. 

A  writer  says:  "I  fully  believe  that 
a  large  per  cent  of  breeders  who  quit 
the  business  with  the  conclusion  that 
there  is  nothing  in  it,  or  those  who 
make  an  absolute  failure  of  it  entirely, 
can  turn  back,  if  they  would,  and 
point  to  overcrowding  as  their  main 
cause  of  defeat.  It  is  impossible  to 
get  fertile  eggs  from  stock  kept  under 
such   circumstances."

ing  track  for  harness  horses  at  Del  Monte  would  mean 
much  for  this  interest  and  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man will  hail  such  an  announcement  with  much  pleas- 
ure. It  would  be  an  excellent  place  to  hold  a  trot- 
ting meeting  during  the  summer  months,  as  within  a 
radius  of  ten  miles  at  least  ten  thousand  people  are 
sojourning  every  week  from  the  first  of  July  until 
the  latter  part  of  September  each  year.  The  roads 
about  Del  Monte  are  the  most  perfect  and  the  best 
kept  to  be  found  in  California  and  as  a  place  for 
jogging  horses  during  the  winter  months  they  are  un- 
surpassed as  they  are  as  clean  as  paved  streets. 
Every  owner  of  harness  horses  on  the  Coast  will  unite 
with  us  in  hoping  that  the  suggested  improvements 
of  the  Del  Monte  track  will  be  made  and  that  it  will 
become  one  of  the  leading  training  grounds  in  Cali- 
fornia. 


Francisco,  Saturday,  November  4,  1905. 


FAMOUS   DEL   MONTE,    the    principal    show 

and  tourist's  resort  on  the  Pacific  Slope,  where 

rs  bloom  and  sun  shines  from  one  year's  end  to 

er,  there  was  built  some  years  ago  a  mile  track, 

ted  with  stables,  grand  stand  and  all  the  appur- 

ces  necessary  to  hold  a  race  meeting.     On  many 

ions    since,    pony    racing,    trotting    and    pacing 

sts  and  polo  games  have  been  held  there  during 

eason  when  society  folk  and   tourists   were   so- 

i  ing  there  in  greatest  number,  and  many  spirited 

7  5    have    been    witnessed    on    this    beautiful    race 

=  by  the  sea.    When  first  built  the  track  was  not 

>ut'  to   the  very  best  advantage,   and  a  year  01* 

3  the  Pacific  Improvement  Company,  which  owns 

]!!(iaagnificent  property,  secured  the  services  of  the 

,;f  known   track  building   expert,   Mr.   A.    M.    Allen, 

a,  xpended  over  53,000  in  making  it  an  up  to  date 

,™  course   under   his    supervision.      The    track   was 

sa   ed  and  drained,  the  turns  thrown  up  to  the  regu- 

H    grade   and   in   dry   summer   weather   it   is   now 

f  the  fastest  race  courses  on  the  Pacific  Slope. 

!  oil  with  which  this  track  is  covered  is  unfortu- 

r  adobe,  the  only  thing  available  close  at  hand, 

i  the  winter  or  rainy  months  cannot  be  used  for 

ng   or    driving   over    until    several   days    after   a 

sperr     The  fact  that  a  $20,000  plant  is  thus  :-'<> 

ater  part  of  the  time  has  led  the  management 

2  P.   I.   Company  to   consider  plans   for   making 

raster  track,  realizing  that  were  the  stalls  filled 

horses  in  training,  and  the  track  in   daily  use, 

Teat    hostlery    would    have    an    attraction    that 

be    greatly    appreciated    by    the    thousands    of 

ts  who  visit  it  from  all  parts  of  the  world  each, 

Del   Monte  has  many  attractions  of  which  no 

great  resort  can  boast,  but  a  place  where  hand- 

and  speedy  trotters  and  pacers   could  be   seen 

day  taking  their  work  and  where  quarter  and 

niles  at  close  to  two  minute  speed  could  be  wit- 

1,  would  be  a  source  of  delight  to  hundreds  and 

Del   Monte   another   distinctive  feature  in   addi- 

o  the  many  it  now  enjoys.     It  will  require  the 

;fj    diture  of  a  large   sum  of  money  to   make  this 

fit    for   winter    training,    but    the    management 

-I     not    hesitate    to    go    to    this    expense    were    it 

iMably   assured   that   horsemen   would   take   their 

it  Is  there  to  train.    Mr.  Allen  gives  it  as  his  opin- 

i    at  the  adobe  should  be  scraped  from  the  track, 

u    coating  of  sediment  soil  put  in  its  place.  -  He 

i  ites    that    it    will    require    five    thousand    cubic 

n   of   this   soil   to    cover   the    track   and   that   the 

st  or  completing  the  work  would  be  in  the  neigh- 

rl  )d  of  $5000.    This  done,  however,  the  track  could 

ed   within    an    hour    or    two    after    the    heaviest 

is   the  drainage  is  as  perfect  as  can   be  made. 

are  now   ninety-six  of   the  best   of  box  stalls. 

ored    and    located    on    a   high    sandy   knoll    free 

nud  in  the  wettest  season.    The  boarding  house 

e  men   is   a   well    constructed    and    comfortable 

lg,  and  the  spot  where  the  track  is  located  is 

irmest  and  the  dryest  of  any  on  the  extensive 

r>i  ty  owned   by   the  P.  I.   Company  on  Monterey 

v  Should  this  company  decide  to  make  the  sug- 

si    improvements   on   the  track   it   will  also   build 

bt  ired  or  more  additional  stalls,  all  constructed  in 

e    Dst  up-to-date  manner,  and  Del  Monte  training 

lc  will    assume    a    place    among    the    best    winter 

&G    in  America.     There   would  be  no   better  place 

h  ig  a  high  class  horse  to  the  attention  of  people 

ho  -ill  pay  the  price  for  such  an  animal,  and  there 

1   e   doubt   but   many   of   the   leading   trainers   of 

e    oast    would    immediately    recognize    the    many 

:  tages   of  Del    Monte   as   a   training   centre   and 

'  for  stalls  there  as  soon  as  the  proposed  improve- 

1  i  were  made.    The  opening  of  a  high  class  train- 


THE  SAX  BERNARDINO  ENTRIES  which  will  be 
found? in  full  on  the  following  page,  furnish  plenty 
of  evidence  that  the  meeting  to  open  on  this  new 
track  next  Thursday  will  be  not  only  high  class  but 
one  of  the  best  ever  seen  in  the  southern  part  of 
California,  and  will  make  an  auspicious  opening  for 
the  new  circuit  recently  organized  in  that  section  with 
Mr.  A.  W.  Bruner  as  secretary.  The  fact  that  a  num- 
ber of  trotters  and  pacers  that  have  been  racing 
on  the  Grand  Circuit  will  start  at  this  meeting  shows 
that  the  energetic  secretary  has  been  at  work  to  secure 
attractions  that  will  draw  the  horse  loving  people  to 
Gee  the  contests.  The  2:09  class  trot  in  which  John 
Caldwell,  Morone,  Adam  G-,  Jupiter  B.  and  Helen 
Norte  are  entered  will  prove  a  most  interesting  race. 
We  know  how*  John  Caldwell,  Morone  and  Helen 
Norte  raced  and  won  heats  against  some  of  the  best 
Eastern  trotters  this  year,  and  will  have  a  chance  to 
see  how  such  horses  as  Adam-  G.  2:11%,  the  fastest 
of  the  trotters  on  the  California  circuit  this  year,  will 
compare  with  them.  The  great  feature  of  the  meet- 
ing, however,  is  a  match  race  between  the  Eastern 
pacr  Hazel  Patch  2:02%  and  the  California  champion 
Zolock  2:05%.  A  gentleman  who  spent  several  weeks 
on  the  Grand  Circuit  this  year  and  saw  Hazel  Patch 
race  several  times  expressed  the  opinion  in  the  office 
of  this  paper  this  week  that  Hazel  Patch  was  a  faster 
horse  than  any  pacer  racing  this  year,  excepting  Dan 
Patch  and  Audubon  Boy,  and  they  were  not  really 
racing.  He  believes  him  capable  of  pacing  heats  below 
2:0:;.  Granting  all  this  there  are  many  California 
horsemen  who  will  look  to  see  Zolock  compel  Hazel 
Patch  to  lower  his  record  or  be  defeated  when  they 
meet  at  San  Bernardino  if  both  are  in  shape  and 
other  conditions  favorable.  The  San  Bernardino  track 
has  lately  had  nearly  $7000  expended  on  making  it 
as  fast  and  safe  as  possible  and  it  will  be  in  record 
breaking  shape  when  the  meeting  opens  next  Thurs- 
day. 


AMONG  THE  ARRIVALS  on  the  last  steamer  from 
Australia  was  Mr.  C.  W.  Wright,  a  well  known  horse- 
man who  has  been  engaged  during  the  past  two  years 
exporting  standard  bred  horses  from  the  United  States 
to  Australia.  Mr.  Wright,  who  is  well  acquainted 
with  the  demand  for  harness  horses  in  the  colonies 
and  who  enjoys  the  confidence  of  the  best  buyers 
there,  has  shipped  horses  on  order  and  met  with  suc- 
cess. He  has  heretofore  shipped  by  way  of  the  Cape 
of  Good  Hope,  but  is  now  contemplating  sending  fu- 
ture shipments  by  way  of  the  Oceanic  line  from  this 
city.  He  has  favored  us  with  a  handsome  photograph 
of  the  champion  trotting  stallion  of  Australia,  which 
we  reproduce  on  the  front  page  of  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  this  week.  Emulator,  the  horse  in  ques- 
tion, is  a  square  trotter,  has  a  two-year-old  record 
of  2:59,  a  four-year-old  record  of  2: 24  \'z  and  an  aged 
record  of  2:18%.  His  two-mile  record  is  4:57.  Emu- 
lator is  by  the  Australian  sire  Osterley.  Hfl  is  a 
bold,  free-going  trotter,  and  Mr.  Wright  states  that 
when  seeing  him  trot  a  mile  in  2:20  on  a  grass  track 
with  flat  turns,  he  came  to  the  opinion  that  under 
American  conditions  of  tracks  and  training  he  would 
be  a  2:05  trotter..  The  picture  shows  him  to  be  a  hand- 
some horse  of  much  substance  as  well  as  plenty  of 
quality.  He  is  owned  by  Mr.  J.  B.  Zander,  of  245 
King    street,    Melbourne. 


THE  FIRST  ANNUAL  SALE  of  cattle  from  the 
Humboldt  Herd  of  Shorthorns  owned  by  Rush  & 
Pierce,  took  place  at  Suisun.  October  19th.  The  sale 
was  handled  by  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  of  San  Fran- 
cisco and  was  quite  a  success.  -Buyers  were  present 
from  all  over  the  State.  The  average  for  the  55 
head  sold  was  $89.10.  The  bulls  averaged  $127-30. 
Mr.  A.  J.  Molero  was  quite  a  heavy  purchaser,  bidd- 
ing in  19  head.  He  intends  to  go  quite  extensively 
into  the  breeding  of  shorthorns  on   his  fine  ranch  in 


Monterey  county.  Judge  Carroll  Cook  of  San  Fran- 
cisco was  also  quite  a  heavy  buyer,  and  will  place 
the  cattle  on  his  farm  at  Glen  Ellen,  Sonoma  county. 


A    MONTANA    TROTTER. 

Richie  Baron  2:16%,  owned  by  J.  V.  Collins  of 
Butte,  the  horse  who  started  on  the  Montana  circuit 
this  fall,  a  green  trotter,  has  made  one  of  the  best 
records  ever  made  by  a  Montana  horse  on  the  state 
circuit,  and  is  entitled  to  the  state  championship. 
The  best  judges  of  horse  flesh  are  predicting  that  next 
season  the-  horse  will  prove  himself  to  be  one  of  the 
best  trotters  in  the  Wst.  The  judges  and  other 
horsemen  at  the  Montana  fairs,  who  watched  Richie 
Baron's  work  on  the  state  tracks  this  fall,  are  pre- 
dicting that  he  will  be  good  for  three  heats  in  2:06 
next  year.  They  say  he  would  easily  have  made  2:10 
this  season  on  the  fast  Eastern  tracks. 

Richie  Baron  is  by  Baron  Wilkes  out  of  Winnell. 
by  Wilkes  Boy.  He  was  bred  by  Marcus  Daly  and 
was  purchased  by  Mr.  Collins,  the  well  known  Butte 
man,  four  years  ago,  at  a  sale  of  the  Daly  horses. 
Since  that  time  he  has  been  driven  by  Mr.  Collins 
as  a  roadster  until  the  present  season,  when  he  was 
put  on  the  state  circuit.     He  is  seven  years  old. 

Richie  Baron  raced  on  the  Livingston.  Bozeman, 
Anaconda,  Missoula  and  Helena  tracks  this  season. 
He  was  started  eight  times  and  wasn't  out  of  the 
money  in  any  race.  He  won  three  starts  out  of  the 
eight,  was  second  twice  and  third  three  times,  and 
won  in  purses  something  over  $3,000.  He  made  his 
mark  of  2:16^  when  he  won  the  Bankers'  stake, 
worth  $1,000,  at  Helena.  In  this  he  won  the  first 
heat,  lost  the  second  and  third  and  then  won  the 
fourth  and  fifth.  He  also  captured  the  Breeders' 
Stake  at  Helena,  trotting  the  second  race  with  only 
one  day  intervening.  The  race  was  three  heats  out  of 
five.  Richie  won  the  first  three  heats  straight,  equal- 
ing his  old  mark.  In  all  his  races  this  fall  he  was 
never  put  to  a  drive,  a  whip  was  never  used  on  him 
and  he  was  never  pushed  to  his  best  speed. 

Mr.  Collins'  horse  was  also  the  only  one  on  the 
state  circuit  which  was  able  at  any  time  this  fall  to 
come  under  the  wire  ahead  of  Dr.  Frasse  2:12%. 
Richie  Baron  beat  Dr.  Frasse  one  heat  in  a  free-for- 
all  trot  at  Livingston,  and  was  second  to  Dr.  Frasse 
in  the  race. 

Patsie  Rice  of  Helena,  who  trained  Button  last  year, 
had  Richie  Baron  on  the  state  circuit  this  fall.  He  is 
still  training  Mr.  Collins'  horse  and  both  he  and  Mr. 
Collins  expect  to  see  the  horse  make  a  mark  of  at 
least  2.06  next  year. — Butte  Evening  News. 


ANSWERS   TO    CORRESPONDENTS. 


William  Mead,  Santa  Maria. — The  Tear  Book  does 
not  credit  either  of  the  horses  mentioned  in  your 
letter  of  inquiry  as  having  a  standard  record — that 
is  -:30  or  better  tromng    or  2:25  or  better  pacing. 


The  Suisun  Republican  says:  M.  J.  Reams  has 
leased  Mrs  Field's  ranch  of  1200  acres  on  the  Denver- 
ton  road  two  miles  east  of  Suisun.  and  has  taken  up 
his  residence  there  with  his  family.  A  large  portion 
of  the  ranch  will  be  devoted  to  farming  and  stockrais- 
ing.  It  is  Mr.  Ream's  intention  to  build  a  half-mile 
track  on  the  place  for  training  speed  horses.  He  has 
a  number  of  young  horses  of  his  own,  the  speed  of 
which  he  desires  to  develop.  He  has  not  yet  decided 
whether  or  not  he  will  handle  outside  horses,  but  he 
probably  will.  Mr.  Reams  lost  a  fine  three  year  old 
stallion  by  death  a  few  days  ago.  The  horse  was  by 
Demonio,  dam  by  Oro  Wilkes.  He  purchased  the  stal- 
lion from  Rush  &  Haile  at  two  years  old.  paying  $500 
for  the  animal.  The  horse  showed  every  indication  of 
high  speed,  and  Mr.  Reams  had  expected  to  realize 
quite  handsomely  from  him. 


About  two  thousand  people  turned  out  to  see  the 
$500  match  race  at  Alameda  track  last  Sunday  be- 
tween the  gelding  Faust  by  Aptos  Wilkes  and  the 
mare  Daisy  May.  The  first  and  second  heats  were 
won  by  Faust  in  2:27  and  2:2S.  When  scoring  for 
the  third  heat,  the  veteran  driver  Hines,  mistaking 
the  yells  of  the  unruly  spectators  for  the  word,  drove 
Daisy  May  the  full  mile,  thinking  it  was  a  go.  The 
judges  allowed  him  twenty  minutes  to  cool  out  the 
mare,  and  awarded  her  the  third  heat  owing  to  Faust 
swerving  from  his  position  in  the  stretch.  This  heat 
was  in  2:30.  The  fourth  heat  was  won  by  Faust  in 
2:28%.  This  afternoon  a  return  match  at  two  mile 
heats  will  be  trotted  at  the  same  track  by  the  same 
horses.  The  match  for  $200  a  sade  between  Cash  and 
Billy  F.  will  also   be  decided  this  afternoon. 


A  dispatch  from  Vienna,  Austria,  dated  October  S, 
states  that  a  two-mile  trotting  race  open  to  the  world 
Was  won  there  on  that  dae  by  Kirkwood  Jr.  2:10. 
time,  4:26%.  This  is  three-fourths  of  a  second  faster 
than  the  best  previous  two-mile  trotting  race  record, 
which  was  4:27%,  and  was  held  by  Caid  2:07%.  The 
time  of  the  fastest  two-mile  heat  ever  won  in  a  race 
in  this  country  is  1:45,  and  stands  to  the  credit  of 
Monette,  a  daughter  of  Monon  by  Nutwood  2.18%. 
The  fastest  two-mile  heat  ever  trotted  against  time 
was  in  4:17.  and  was  won  by  Cresceus  2:02%.  Tho 
ii. -i  fastest  is  4:28%,  made  by  the  stallion  Onward 
Silver    2:05%. 


Tli.-  business  of  the  lati  Petei  C.  Kellogg  will  be'

Salt  Lake,  Oct  28,  1905. 
If  a  California  horseman  should  drop  into  Salt  Lake 
City,  the  metropolis  of  the  State  of  Utah,  some  fine 
summer's  day  and  chance  to  drive  out  to  Higgins 
Boulevard,  he  would  doubtless  rub  his  eyes  and  won- 
der if  he  had  not  been  dreaming  of  home,  as  he  saw 
well  known  California  trotters  and  pacers  speeded 
over  this  beautiful  turnpike.  Higgins  Boulevard  is  a 
stretch  of  road,  a  full  mile  in  length,  and  although 
within  the  city  limits,  is  watered  and  cared  for  by 
the  Salt  Lake  Driving  Club,  who  are  permitted  to  use 
it  as  a  speedway,  an  ordinance  passed  by  the  author- 
ities prohibiting  any  heavy  teams  from  traversing  it. 
The  Salt  Lake  Driving  Club  is  composed  of  all  the 
enthusiastic  road  drivers  in  the  city  by  the  saline 
sea,  and  on  every  day  of  the  week  except  Sunday, 
when  the  weather  is  favorable,  they  repair  to  this 
speedway  and  enjoy  the  royal  sport  of  road  racing. 
Quarters  in  30  seconds  are  not  uncommon,  and  the 
horse  that  can  win  a  blue  ribbon  any  afternoon  must 
have  two-minute  speed  for  a  short  distance  at  least. 
Mr.  Ezra  Thompson,  formerly  mayor  of  the  city,  is 
often  seen  behind  the  California  bred  pacer  Robert 
I.  2:  OS  94  by  Hambletonian  Wilkes.  This  horse  has 
all  his  old  time  speed  and  as  he  has  been  entered 
at  the  meetings  to  take  place  this  month  on  the 
Southern  California  circuit,  he  will  probably  demon- 
strate this  fact  to  your  people.  Mr.  Thompson  also 
drives  a  very  fine  black  mare  that  is  called  Jennie  A. 
that  he  has  entered  in  the  2:20  pacing  events  on  the 
same  circuit. 

All  California  lovers  of  a  game  race  horse  will 
remember  the  black  gelding  Dr.  Frasse  2:12%  by  Iran 
Alto.  He  is  owned  here  by  Mr.  J.  T.  Richards  and 
there  are  few  horses,  pacers  or  trotters,  who  have 
any  business  tackling  him  for  a  brush  of  a  mile  or 
less.  Mr.  Richards  also  owns  the  pacing  mare  Alpha 
W.  2:08  that  has  won  money  all  over  the  Middle 
West  and  the  Colorado  circuit. 

Nutwood  AViikes  has  a  representative  in  these  road 
brushes  in  old  Claudius  2:13%,  and  despite  his  years 
and  many  hard  campaigns  can  hold  his  own  with  the 
best  trotters  owned  in  Utah.  He  is  owned  by  Mr. 
W.  S  McCormick,  who  takes  as  much  pleasure  in 
heading  a  rival  in  a  brush  as  most  men  do  in  win- 
ning  a   stake. 

Mr.  Thos.  McCoy  is  another  resident  of  Salt  Lake 
who  drives  a  good  one  from  California.  The  brown 
pacer  Cavalier  2:11%  by  Welcome,  is  his  property 
and  he  can  often  be  seen  speeding  him  at  a  two- 
minute  gait.  He  has  another  horse  called  Kangaroo 
that  looks  and  acts  like  a  great  prospect,  and  a  horse 
called  Ringtail  that  will  be  faster  than  either  of  the 
others  in   the  opinion  of  many. 

Mr.  J.  S.  Bransford,  who  has  purchased  quite  a 
number  of  horses  in  California  for  his  Salt  Lake 
friends,  bought  Tom  Car'neal  2:0S%  by  Diablo  on  a 
trip  to  Los  Angeles  last  spring,  and  is  greatly  pleased 
with  him.  He  also  owns  the  pacer  Dewey  that  is 
fast  enough  for  a  race  horse 

Mr.  C.  H.  Thompson  has  one  of  the  fastest  of  the 
road  pacers  in  Osmont  2:14%.  a  son  of  Altamont 
that  was  bred  and  raised  by  Under  Sheriff  James  Daly 
of  Napa,  California.  Mr.  Thompson  also  owns  Amarea 
and  Joe  McGregor,  and  drives  them  on  the  road. 

The  fast  mare  Laura  Spurr  2:09%,  and  a  good  green 
one  called  Fleet  are  driven  by  Mr.  W.  S.  Jones.  Laura 
can  show  enough  speed  to  warrant  the  belief  that 
she  could  reduce  her  record  if  prepared  for  a  shy 
at  the  mark. 

One  of  the  sweetest  and  handsomest  little  mares 
that  gees  down  the  Higgins  road  is  Jessie  Tilden, 
owned  by  Mr  Geo.  W.  Putnam,  one  of  Salt  Lake's 
enterprising  business  men.  She  has  some  speed,  but 
Mr.  Putnam  has  ideas  of  breeding  her  to  a  developed 
stallion  and  raising  a  two-minute  colt  on  the  Casper 
Redfield  plan,  and  every  person  who  knows  him  hopes 
he   will   succeed. 

Mr.  C.  J.  Crabtree  is  another  enthusiastic  road 
rider.  His  horse  Crabapple  is  one  of  the  fast  ones 
of  the  road  brigade  and  has  taken  his  turn  racing 
with  more  or  less  success.  He  has  another  however 
that  the  boys  call  Bay  Beauty,  which  the  drivers  of 
the  fastest  ones  are  beginning  to  cast  a  jealous  eye 
on  as  she  is  showing  a  rate  of  speed  that  is  not  to 
be  despised. 

Cold  Storage  is  the  peculiar  name  which  Mr.  J.  C 
Tuttle  has  selected  for  a  very  handsome  pacer  he  is 
driving  that  is  considered  a  rare  good,  one  by  those 
who  have  seen  him  step. 

Henry  Newell  owns  a  well-bred  one  in  Willets  by 
Silkwood  2:07.  dam  Gypsle  the  dam  of  Delilah  2:1414 
and  grandam  of  Zolock  2:05>4,  by  Gen.  Booth. 

H.  Y4\  Brown,  owner  of  that  fast  stallion  Altoka 
2:10%  by  Allerton,  won  first  prize  at  the  recent  Utah 
State  Fair  with  a  pair  of  bay  fillies  by  this  horse  that 
are  perfectly  matched  and  can  pole  in  2:40  or  better. 
They  are  three  and  four-year-olds,  own  sisters  and 
make  everybody  do  a  little  rubbering  as  they  go  by. 

There  are  many  other  good  horses  driven  over  the 
speedway  here,  but  in  the  short  time  your  correspond- 
ent has  been  here  he  has  not  become  acquainted  with 
the  names  of  all  of  them. 

The  raring  at  the  recent  State  Fair  here  was  very 
poor  and  the  daily  papers  were  not  backward  in  criti- 
cising it.  Some  idea  of  it  may  be  obtained  from  the 
l  in  a  that  mine  of  the  best  horses  owned  in  Salt  Lake 
Look  part  in  the  races,  which  were  marie  up  with 
small  purses  for  the  cheap  horses  If  the  directors 
would  only  take  a  few  lessons  from  such  fairs  as 
are  held  at  Hamline.  and  other  places,  where  big 
stakes  bring  out  the  best  horses  in  the  country  and 
lay  lor  themselves  by  the  large  list  of  entries  they 
i  eceive, 

I    understand    the    directors    say    their    policy    is    to 

offer    prizes   and   purses   only   for   horses   bred   in   the 

State.     This  is  very  shortsighted,  as  it  is  only  by  the 

"lion    of    better    horses    than    are    owned    here 

that   their  stock  can  be  improved.     Most   State  fairs 


offer  prizes  for  the  best  horses  no  matter  where 
are  bred  or  who  owns  them.     California  has  se& 
by  this  means  some  of  the  best  stallions  in  the  v 
of  all  breeds,  and  stands  today  as  one  of  the  lea 
horse  breeding  States  in  the  Union. 

This  is  a  very  thriving  city,  and  the  people 
to  be  prosperous.  I  thought  their  State  Fair,  ou- 
the  horse  racing,  was  a  very  fine  show,  and  I  do 
see  how  they  could  expect  to  attract  good  horses' 
have  good  racing  for  the  small  purses  hung  u]i 
will  leave  here  next  week  for  Los  Angeles.  I  un 
stand    several    of    these2   Salt    Lake  horses  wH14

TRAVELE 


NEW  COLORADO  STOCK  FARM. 


A  little  ways  outside  of  Denver,  Colo,  is  beiug, 
tablished  a  stock  farm  which  is  liable,  in  the  ful 
to  be  noted  among  the  breeding  establishments  ol 
West  because  of  the  care  in  which  the  founda 
stock  is  being  selected,  says  an  exchange.  There 
larger  farms  and  more  pretentious  ones  than  the 
Rose  Stock  Farm,  recently  established  by  Georg 
Newman  of  Denver,  but  it  is  doubtful  if  any  i 
ever  laid  out  on  better  lines  and  with  as  much 
used.  In  the  future  as  in  the  past  the  progress  i 
not  fail   to  be  satisfactory. 

The  farm  has  been  named  after  a  two-year-old 
by  McKinney,  which  was  one  of  Mr.  Newman's 
purchases.     The   dam   of  this   colt   is   Sweet  Rose 
Electioneer,   dam  Rosemont  by  Piedmont,   and  Si 
Rose  had  a  yearling  record  at  the  trot  of  2:30. 
Rose  is  a  big  husky  youngster,  weighing  1140  pou 
and  when  thirteen  months  old  showed  an  eighth 
2.24  clip.     He  has  been  worked  some,  but  very  I 
fully,  as  he  is  a  big,  growthy  fellow  and  Mr   Newi 
had   rather   take  plenty  of  time  in  his   develops 
than  risk  any  chance  of  injury  by  forcing  him

son  of  Belmont,  Countess  by  Counselor  2:12%  by 
ward,  and  Ami  Wood  by  Saxwood,  son  of  Shade 
Onward. 

At  the  recent  dispersal  sale  of  the  Haggin  farn 
Lexington  Mr.  Newman  was  a  purchaser  of  som 
the  very  best  of  the  brood  mares.  Among  these  \

Cyprus  by  Strathmore,  and  Phallete  by  Wilkes'w 
dam  Phaletta  by  Phallamont.  Competition  on  s 
of  these  was  decidedly  brisk,  but  Mr.  Newman 
looked  them  over  at  the  farm  in  company  with 
Dunlevy  of  Denver,  and  was  determined  to  have  t 
at  any  price.  These,  with  what  he  had  previoi 
w.|>  make  an  ideal  foundation  for  his  breeding  fi

of  Denver  and  work  on  a  half-mile  track,  stables

HEIFERS  YIELD  RICHER   MILK. 


The  production  of  milk  and  butter 
fat  by  dairy  cows  under  normal  con- 
ditions increases  with  each  year  up  to 
the  fifth  and  sixth  years,  when  the  cow 
is  at  her  best.  The  length  of  time 
she  will  maintain  her  maximum  pro- 
duction depends  on  her  constitutional 
strength  and  the  care  with  which  she 
is  fed  and  handled.  A  good  dairy  cow 
should  not  show  any  marked  falling  off 
until  after  ten  years  of  age.  Many 
excellent  records  have  been  made  by- 
cows  older  than  this.  The  quality  of 
the  milk  production  by  heifers  is  some- 
what better  than  that  of  milk  of  older 
cows,  for  we  find  a  decrease  of  one- 
tenth  to  two-tenths  of  one  per  cent 
in  the  average  fat  content  for  each 
year  until  the  cows  have  reached  full 
age.  It  is  caused  by  the  increase  in 
the  weight  of  the  cows  with  advancing 
age:  at  any  rate  there  appears  to  be  a 
parallelism  between  the  two  sets  of 
figures  for  the  same  cows. 

Young  animals  use  a  portion  of  their 
food  for  the  formation  of  body  tissue, 
and  it  is  expected  therefore  that  heif- 
ers will  require  a  larger  portion  of  nu- 
trients for  the  production  of  a  unit  of 
milk  or  butter  fat  than  do  older  cows. 
After  a  certain  age  has  been  reaches, 
on  the  average  about  seven  years  of 
age,  the  food  required  for  the  produc- 
tion of  a  unit  of  milk  or  butter  fat  again 
increases  as  regards  dry  matter  and 
the  digestible  components  of  the  food 
A  good  milk  cow  of  exceptional 
strength,  kept  under  favorable  condi- 
tions, whose  digestive  system  has  not 
been  impaired  by  overfeeding  o* 
crowding  for  high  records,  should  con- 
tinue to  be  a  profitable  producer  till 
her  twelfth  year,  although  the  econ- 
omy of  her  production  is  art  to  be 
somewhat  reduced  before  this  age  is 
reached. — Bulletin  Wisconsin  Experi-

NEW  POULTRY  FARM. 


it 


E.  H.  Winship  and  C.  F.  Grant  of 
Napa  have  formed  a  co-partnership, 
and  under  the  firm  name  of  C.  P.  Grant 
&  Co.  have  purchased  from  T.  N. 
Mount  the  Meredith  place  of  eighty 
acres,  five  miles  north  of  Napa,  and 
•will  establish  thereon  the  Mammoth 
Poultry  Farm.  The  old  buildings  which 
are  now  on  the  property  will  be  torn 
down,  and  the  work  of  constructing  a 
residence,  brooders  and  incubator 
houses,  and  other  structures  planned 
and  equipped  for  the  care  of  poultry 
will  be  commenced.  Two  chicken 
houses,  400  feet  in  length  and  24  feet 
in  width,  will  be  built.  Down  the  side 
of  each  building  will  run  a  tramway, 
and  on  one  side  of  the  tramway  and 
next  to  the  nests  will  be  troughs  for 
the  soft  feed.  Above  the  nests  will 
be  slides,  inclined  toward  the  tramway, 
which  will  enable  the  workmen  to 
thoroughly  and  conveniently  clean  the 
houses.  Above  these  slides  will  be  the 
roosts.  tA  the  end  of  each  building 
will  be  provided  a  cook  house  for  the 
preparation  of  feed,  and  adjoining  it  a 
granary.  An  incubator  house  with  a 
capacity  of  5000  eggs  will  be  built. 
From  the  brooding  house  will  be  runs, 
and  these  runs  will  lead  into  large  cor- 
rals, enclosed  with  wire  netting.  It  is 
estimated  that  over  six  miles  of  wire 
will  be  used  in  this  manner  on  the 
farm.  A  complete  water  system  will  be 
established,  the  water  required  to  bu 
pumped  with  a  gasoline  engine.  The

Dear  Sirs: —I  have  used  a  bottle  of  'Save-the- 
Horse,"  and  I  consider  it  the  beat  thing  that  as 
yet  I  have  been  able  to  obtain  for  what  it  was 
intended,  it  havingentirelycured  a  very  valuable 
mare  which  has  been  lame  since  last  September 
with  a  sprained  ankle.  We  had  her  blistered 
twice  ard  laid  up  for  two  months, but  it  dldno 
good.  I  was  just  aboutready  to  breed  her  when  I 
gave  It  a  tr'al;  she  is  now  entirely  sound. 
Yours  respectfully. 

ALBERT  E.  BAKER. 


Tom  Hood,  in  that  inimitable  poem 
"Miss  Kilmansegg1,"  tells  of  a  breed,  of 
sheep  that  were  pastured  on  land  so 
rich  that  "their  teeth  turned  to  gold 
by  browsing."  Perhaps  the  Folsom  De- 
velopment Company,  an  organization 
formed  to  dredge  hundreds  of  acres  of 
land  near  Folsom.  Sacramento  county, 
for  gold,  will  meet  with  the  same  good 
luck.  It  will  be  several  years  before 
dredgers  can  be  built  and  put  in  opera- 
tion on  this  land,  so  the  company  has 
decided  to  go  into  the  cattle  raising 
business,  using  the  land  for  ranges 
upon  which  the  herds  will  graze.  The 
company  will  go  into  the  business  on 
quite  an  extensive  scale.  In  the  past 
the  land  has  been  rented  to  stock  rais- 
ers, but  they  have  been  notified  that 
the  company  will  reserve  the  lands  for 
its  own  use. 


WERE  THESE  TWO  CA*ES  WORTH  TBE 
COST  OF  TREATMENT? 

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

Nyack.N.Y. 
In  August  I  had  a  mare  with  an  ankle  cocked 
from  a  bad  wrench  in  a  race.  It  was  so  bad  I  had 
concluded  to  shoot  her,  but  was  persuaded  to 
breed  her  and  turn  her  out-  I  bred  her,  but  in- 
stead of  turning  her  out  used  your  "save-the- 
Horse."  In  three  weeks  I  was  more  than  sur- 
prised to  see  the  swelling  disappear,  and  the 
remedy  produced  a  complete  cure  She  is  as 
good  as  ever.  I  have  raced  her  since  and  drive 
her  any  distance  without  any  sign  or  lameness. 
I  cannot  say  too  much  for  your  rempdy.

San   Francisco,    Saturday,    November  n,    1905 


PACIFIC  BREEDERS  FUTCRITY  No.  6  will  close 
December  4th  for  the  nomination  of  mares  bred  this 
year.  Again  this  popular  stake  is  announced  to 
have  a  guaranteed  value  of  $7000,  and  again  it  should 
receive  a  long  list  of  nominations.  Secretary  Kelley 
of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Asso- 
ciation has  been  sending  out  blanks  this  week  to  all 
those  residents  of  this  Coast  who  within  his  knowl- 
edge bred  mares  to  trotting  or  pacing  bred  stallions 
|this  year,  and  will  mail  them  on  application  to  any 
who  have  not  received  them.  This  futurity  has  done 
;and  is  doing  much  to  encourage  the  breeding  of  good 
horses  on  this  Coast  and  should  have  the  support 
of  every  breeder  and  stallion  owner.  The  men  who 
own  stallions  should  especially  be  the  ones  who 
should  lend  their  assistance  in  securing  entries  to  the 
stake.  Every  stallion  owner  should  take  a  pride  in 
having  his  horse  represented  in  the  list  of  foals  en- 
tered in  this  stake,  and  should  do  what  he  can  to- 
ward securing  the  nomination  of  mares  bred  this  year 
to  his  horse.  The  more  foals  entered,  the  greater  the 
chances  of  one  of  them  winning.  As  the  owner  of  the 
sire  of  the  winner  is  paid  $100  out  of  the  stake,  there 
is  an  additional  inducement  for  stallion  owners  to 
see  that  their  horse  is  represented.  That  entering  in 
colt  stakes  is  a  paying  proposition  for  all  breeders 
and  owners  whether  their  colts  win  or  not  is  ad- 
mitted by  all.  Stakes  enhance  the  value  of  horses 
entered  in  them  and  create  more  interest  in  breeding 
than  any  other  one  thing.  The  Breeders'  Futurity, 
the  Occident  and  the  Stanford  stakes  are  worth  more 
to  the  stallion  owners  of  the  Pacific  Coast  than  the 
majority  of  them  imagine,  and  should  these  stakes 
be  discontinued,  the  falling  off  of  stallion  patronage 
would  be  greater  than  most  owners  imagine.  We  hope 
every  person  who  has  bred  a  trotting  or  pacing  mare 
to  a  standard  bred  stallion  this  year  will  see  that  it 
is  to  his  advantage  to  nominate  the  mare  in  this 
stake.  It  is  guaranteed  to  be  worth  $7000,  but  it  can 
by  liberal  patronage  be  increased  to  $10,000.  Read  the 
advertisement  in  this  issue  for  the  conditions  of  this 
rich   stake.

our  advertising  columns  to-day,  and  should  be  read  by 
every  owner  and  breeder  of  thoroughbreds. 


election  in  Ohio  last  Tuesday.  Herrick  is  the  man 
who  promised  to  sign  a  bill  permitting  harness  racing 
to  be  held  with  betting  in  the  Buckeye  State,  but 
who  went  back  on  the  promise  and  vetoed  the  bill 
after  it  had  been  almost  unanimously  passed  by  the 
State  Legislature.  The  Cleveland  meeting,  which  had 
always  been  one  of  the  largest  and  best  on  the  Grand 
Circuit,  was  held  without  betting  last  year,  with  a 
resulting  loss  of  thousands  of  dollars,  and  was  de- 
clared off  this  year  when  it  was  found  that  Tom  John- 
ston. Mayor  of  the  city,  said  that  he  would  be  com- 
pelled to  enforce  the  law  prohibiting  betting.  That 
the  horsemen  did  not  hold  Mr.  Johnston  to  blame  for 
enforcing  the  law  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  he  was 
re-elected  Mayor  on  Tuesday,  while  Governor  Her- 
rick ran  thousands  of  votes  behind  his  ticket  in 
Cleveland  .and  in  other  parts  of  the  State.  The  horse- 
men of  Ohio,  finding  they  could  not  get  justice  from 
Governor  Herrick,  simply  united  against  him  and  their 
power  is  told  by  the  vote.  It  is  a  lesson  to  horse- 
men elsewhere  to  unite  and  act  when  their  rights 
are  taken  away  from  them.  They  are  numerous 
enough  to  be  a  power  in  the  land. 


THE  CHRISTMAS  EDITION  of  this  journal,  which 
will  be  issued  December  23d,  will  be  something  differ- 
ent from  the  majority  of  previous  holiday  issues.  The 
special  articles  prepared  for  it  by  writers  of  extended 
reputation  will  be  more  numerous  than  ever,  while 
the  statistical  matter  will  be  found  unusually  exten- 
sive and  complete.  The  cover  page  will  be  an  orig- 
inal and  handsome  design  and  great  effort  and  care 
will  be  expended  in  making  the  edition  one  of  the 
best  holiday  numbers  issued  by  any  weekly  journal 
on  the  Coast.  Advertisers  who  desire  space  in  its 
columns  should  apply  early,  as  the  space  given  to 
advertisers   will   be   limited   this  year. 


The  Horseman:  Chicago's  recent  horse  show  again 
illustrated  the  fact  that  breeders  of  the  trotter  do 
not  take  any  great  amount  of  interest  in  such  events. 
That  is,  they  do  not  go  to  the  trouble  of  entering 
and  showing:  their  horses  in  the  classes  reserved  for 
them.  The  result  was,  as  in  former  years,  that  few 
horses  were  shown  in  the  distinctively  trotting  classes. 
Miss  Wilks,  who  is  engaged  in  establishing  a  breeding 
farm  at  Gait,  Ontario,  and  Will  J.  Davis  of  Chicago 
were  two  exceptions  to  the  rule.  In  the  roadster 
classes  Miss  "Wilks  made  a  clean  series  of  victories 
with  Rhea  W.  and  Easter  Belle,  these  two  being 
shown  both  single  and  double,  practically  every  day 
of  the  show.  These,  however,  were  not  samples  of 
horses  of  her  own  raising,  but  were  show  horses  pure 
and  simple.  Mr  Davis  in  Strangeville  had  a  handsome 
horse  of  his  own  breeding  which  has  been  a  successful 
blue  ribbon  hunter  at  the  matinees  this  season. 
There  are  scores  of  stock  farms  of  easy  access  from 
Chicago  and  yet  the  owners  of  these  did  not  trouble 
themselves  to  advertise  their  stock  at  this  fashionable 
exhibit.  Because  of  this  attitude  of  the  breeders  for 
a  series  of  years  the  managers  of  the  horse  shows, 
not  only  in  Chicago  but  in  other  horse  show  centers, 
these  exhibitions  are  becoming  more  and  more  merely 
shows.  The  horse  is  seen  in  his  high  estate  but  it  is 
that  of  the  horse  in  the  city  and  not  on  his  native 
heath.  The  American  trotter  is  very  much  in  evi- 
dence, but  oftentimes  he  is  so  changed  that  none  but 
an  astute  admirer  of  the  breeder  is  able  to  penetrate 
his  disguise.  With  fancy  mane,  tail  docked,  and  man- 
nered in  high  stepping  he  is  oft  confounded  with  the 
hackney  and  the  latter  sometimes  profits  at  the  ex- 
pense if  his  cousin.  There  are  no  indications  that 
these  exhibitions  are  to  become  less  of  a  show  and 
more  of  a  breeders'  exhibition,  and  such  being  the 
case  it  behooves  the  friends  of  the  trotter  that  they 
insist  on  the  pedigrees  of  all  horses  being  properly 
catalogued.  Then  the  casual  attendant  of  such  shows 
would  be  able  to  distinguish  between  the  trotter  and 
the  other  breeds  supposedly  more  adapted  to  the  show 
ring,  but  which  seldom  prove  their  worth  in  compe- 
tition. The  breeder  allows  the  dealer  to  do  his 
showing  for  him,  but  he  should  insist  that  the  latter 
so  label  his  exhibits  that  a  portion  of  the  honor  and 
the  glory  be  shared  by  the  breeder  who  made  such 
things  possible 

HARNESS    RACING    IN    MONTANA. 


GREAT   REJOICING   AMONG   HORSEMEN   doubt- 
followed  the  defeat  of  Governor  Herrick   for  re- 


The  meeting  and  banquet  of  the  Butte  Driving  Club, 
held  at  the  Butte  Hotel  on  the  evening  of  October 
26th,  was  one  of  the  most  successful  and  enthusiastic- 
gatherings  of  horsemen  ever  held  in  the  State  says 
Stockman  and  Farmer.  Covers  were  laid  for  sixty 
people  and  outside  of  four  guests'  all  in  attendance 
were  members  of  the  Butte  Club.  The  past  season  in 
Butte  has  been  very  satisfactory  to  the  horsemen  of 
that  city.  There  has  been  more  and  better  matinee 
racing  than  was  ever  held  in  Montana  before  and  it 
has  aroused  enthusiasm  in  behalf  of  the  light  harness 
horse  that  will  result  in  the  purchase  of  new  blood  by 
Butte  rangemen. 

The  guests  of  the  evening  were  Senator  Hoffman  of 
Bozeman;  W.  B.  George  of  Billings;  J.  W.  Pace,  Sec- 
retary of  the  State  Fair,  and  Harry  Lane  of  the  Bel- 
mont Stock  Farm. 

It  was  decided  that  for  matinee  purposes  a  half- 
mile  track  was  preferable  and  $10,000  was  subscribed 
at  the  meeting  for  the  building  of  such  a  track.  W. 
A.  Clark,  Jr.,  president  of  the  Butte  Driving  Club, 
headed  the  subscription  list  generously  and  has  prom- 
ised a  site  for  the  half-mile  track. 


The  building  of  a  half-mile  track  in  no  way  in- 
terferes with  the  racing  on  the  old  Daly  grounds,  as 
the  new  track  will  be  club  property  and  will  be  usea 
strictly  for  the  matinee  of  the  club  members.  The 
Butte  Driving  Club  will  send  a  representative  to  the 
meeting  of  the  Secretaries  to  be  held  in  Helena  in 
December  for  the  formation  of  a  Montana  circuit  and 
will  do  what  it  can  to  promote  racing  in  this  State. 


OAK    PARK    DRIVING   CLUB. 


The  second  matinee  of  the  Oak  Park  Driving  Club 
was  held  at  the  New  Agricultural  Park,  Sacramento. 
October  2Sth,  and  drew  a  good  crowd.  The  day  was 
ideal  and  the  track  in  fairly  good  condition  for  a 
new   track. 

Two  trotting  races  and  a  half-mile  running  race 
was  the  card  for  the  afternoon's  sport. 

The  first  was  a  four-minute  trot  best  two  in  three 
and  was  won  by  Clarence  Crouch's  Maud  in  straight 
heats,  best  time   3:12. 

The  next  race  was  the  2:40  trot  with  three  entries; 
this  race  went  to  Bess  W.,  also  in  straight  heats,  best 
time  2:47,  last  half  in  1:20*. 

The  entries  for  the  gallop  were  Ed  Haley's  O'Meaga 
and  Lady  Reed,  owned  by  H.  Cowell.  The  flag  fell  to 
a  good  start;  Lady  Reed  forging  to  the  front,  hugged 
the  pole  and  won  out  in  52  seconds,  O'Meaga  the  one- 
time  $10,000  two-year-old  coming  in  a  poor  second. 

Summary:  First  Race — Maud  (Crouch)  1-1.  Twin- 
kle (Raynsford)  2-2,  Trilby  (Smith)  3-3.  Time  3:15, 
3:12. 

Second  Race — Bess  W.  (White)  1-1,  Prince  L. 
(Lewis)    2-3,  Fannie    (Brown)    3-2.  Time,  3:00,   2.47. 


DRIVERS   WHO   WON   $1000. 

The  Grand  Circuit  of  1905,  which  does  not  include 
the  Lexington  meeting,  resulted  in  just  fifty  drivers 
winning  $1000  or  more.  Ed  Geers,  as  has  become  a 
habit  with  him,  leads  the  list.  His  winnings  amount 
to  $34,054.  Chas.  DeRyder,  although  not  having  a 
stake  horse  in  his  stable,  stands  eighth  on  the  list 
with  over  $12,000  to  his  credit.  The  list  of  drivers 
who  won  $1000  or  over  is  as  follows: 

Geers  $34,054,  L  McDonald  $26,035,  A.  Thomas 
$16,708.  Murphy  $15,681,  Stinson  $15,390,  Ames  $13,539, 
Dickerson  $12,916,  De  Ryder  $12,562,  Gerrity  $12,075, 
McCarthy  $11,059,  Snow  $10,S00,  Andrews  $10,625, 
James  $7,334,  Benyon  $6,897,  G.  Saunders  $6,715,  Rose- 
mire  $6,520,  A.  P.  McDonald  $5,635,  Clark  $5,201,  Brady

MEMPHIS  TRACK  NOT  TO  BE  SOLD. 


It  is  gratifying  to  every  man  identified  with  trotting 
to  receive  the  assurance  that  the  stories  recently  given 
to  the  public,  to  the  effect  that  the  experiment  of  light 
harness  racing  a  Memphis,  Tenn ,  was  to  be  abandoned 
on  account  of  legislation  adverse  to  pool  selling,  and 
the  beautiful  course  at  Billings  Park  cut  up  into 
building  lots,  emanated  from  a  wholly  irresponsible 
source  and  have  not  the  slightest  foundation  in  fact. 
The  short  but  eventful  history  of  the  Memphis  track 
abounds  with  so  much  of  brilliant  speed  achievement, 
and  records  the  reduction  of  so  many  important 
world's  records,  that  its  interruption  for  a  single  sea- 
son was  everywhere  hailed  with  regret,  and  its  perma- 
nent extinction  would  be  regarded  as  an  irreparable 
loss  to  the  sport.  The  recurrence  of  the  exigency 
which  prompted  the  abandonment  of  the  Memphis 
meeting  this  season  is  not  likely  to  be  witnessed  in 
many  years,  while  the  statutory  interdiction  of  pool 
selling  in  the  state  is  not  contemplated  with  serious 
discomposure.  The  extravagant  stories  concerning 
President  F.  G.  Jones*  retirement  from  harness  racing, 
and  his  purpose  to  sell  all  his  horses  on  account  of 
his  dissatisfaction  with  the  sport,  proves  also  to  be 
not  merely  exaggerations  but  absolutely  canards,  as 
Mr.  Jones  has  withdrawn  the  few  horses  that  he  had 
decided  to  sell  for  purely  commercial  reasons  and  wil' 
proceed  to  make  his  stable  even  stronger  next  sea 
son. — Trotter  and  Pacer. 


The  Rural  Spirit  says:  E.  B.  Tongue,  of  Hillsboro, 
Oregon,  and  Thos.  H.  Brents,  of  Walla  Walla,  Wash- 
have  brought  suit  in  the  circuit  court  against  thf 
State  Board  of  Agricultural  to  compel  them  to  pas 
added  money  in  a  race  competed  for  at  the  Oregon 
State  Fair  in  1904.  One  of  the  conditions  in  the 
stake  reserved  the  right  to  declare  less  than  three 
starters  a  walk-over.  There  were  only  two  starters 
In  the  race  and  the  board  refused  to  pay  the  added 
money  under  the  advertised  conditions.  The  plaintiffs 
claim  that  because  the  judges  did  not  declare  from 
the  housetops  that  no  added  money  would  be  given 
they  are  entitled  to  it.  This  case  with  all  the  evi- 
dence was  taken  before  the  Board  of  Appeals  of  the 
Nations  1  Trotting  Association,  of  which  the  State 
Fair  Board  is  a  member,  and  was  decided  again  si 
Tongue  and  Brents,  and  they  now  seek  to  recover 
in  the  civil  court.  Both  these  gentlemen  are  able 
lawyers,  but  we  think  they  have  overlooked  rule  2 
section  6  of  the  National  Trotting  Association,  which 
reads  as  follows:  "Every  entry  shall  constitute  an 
agrement  that  the  person  making  it,  the  owner,  rider, 
driver  and  horse  shall  be  subject  to  these  rules,  regu- 
lations and  by-laws,  and  will  submit  all  disputes  and 
questions  arsing  out  of  such  entry  to  the  authority 
and  judgment  of  this  association,  whose  derision  shall 
he   final."

Mr.  De  Ryder's  opinion  she  should  beat  2.10  three

game. 
In  bringing  Star  Pointer  to  California  Mr.  De 
Ryder  selected  a  horse  that  he  felt  would  be  appre- 
ciated by  the  breeders  here,  and  from  the  letters  he 
is  already  receiving  it  is  evident  that  he  judged  the 
desires  of  the  breeders  about  right.  "The  demand," 
said  he.  "is  for  fast  pacers  that  can  go  the  route,  and 
this  is  the  quality  the  famous  Hal  family  possesses. " 
Star  Pointer  was  the  first  horse  to  beat  two  minutes. 
and  when  he  paced  a  mile  in  it59%,  at  Readville  in 
i  ithout  the  aid  of  a  runner  in  front,  he  set  a 
mark  that  no  stallion  has  yet  been  able  to  lower. 
Dan  Patch  himself  has  taken  two  whacks  at  this 
record  and  has  only  succeeded  in  equalling  it.  al- 
though with  the  aid  of  the  runner  in  front  he  has 
paced  a  mile  in  1:55%.  Star  Pointer  is  full  of  thor- 
oughbred blood,  and  that  is  where  he  gets  his  won- 
derful endurance  and  ability  to  carry  his  speed  to  the 
r  the  mile.  "He  is  the  only  horse."  said  Mr. 
De  Ryder,  "that  I  ever  saw  pace  a  mile  in  two  min- 
utes and  come  home  on  the  bit."  In  all  other  recorJ 
performances  where  the  time  has  been  in  two  min- 
utes or  better,  there  has  usually  been  much  shouting 
and  urging  to  encourage  the  horse  to  finish  the  last 
quarter  and  keep  trying  until  the  wire  was  reached, 
but  old  Star  Pointer  finished  his  record  miles  with  the 
bit  In  his  teeth  and  not  all  out.  In  that  he  is  the 
most  wonderful  horse  that  ever  wore  harness.  Star 
Pointer's  fee  will  be  $100  for  the  season  with  the 
usual  return  privileges.  Mr.  De  Ryder  has  a  lease  on 
him  for  two  years,  with  the  privilege  of  five.  Mares 
will  be  received  at  any  lime,  and  a  few  have  already 
been  bred. 


We  have  several  families  in  California  that  take  to 
the  pacing  gait  like  a  duck  to  water.    The  Direct  fam- 
ily holds  the  world's  record  for  a  two  year  old  pacer 
with  Directly  2:07%,  and  Direct's  grandaughter  Bon- 
shares    with    Little    Squaw   the   champion 
three  year  old  record  for  fillies.    Steinway's  son  Klata- 
wah  2:05%  is  the  champion  three-year-old  pacer,  and 
Inway  family  is  largely  represented  in  the  2:10 
list.      Yolo    Maid    2:12    by    Alex    Button    was    once    a 
champion.  Gold  Leaf  2 :11  and  several  others  by  Sid- 
ney  held   world's  records.      Flying  Jib   2:04   by  Algona 
I    the    champion    banner       Anaconda    2:01%    by 
in  the  list.     There  is  plenty  of  blood 
that  paces  in  California  and  good  mares  of  any  of  our 
leading  California  familes  that  have  shown  an  inclina- 
tion   t"  ;    j    nick   well   with   Star  Pointer,   who 
should   be  able  to  sire  a   future  champion   right   here 
on  the  soil  of  the  golden  Si

by  Hambletonian  10.     There  is  not  a  drop  of  Wilkes

i  he    Elect'oneer-Wilkes    cross    has    achieved,

The  seven  weanlings  by  Cassian  will  class  so 

-    looks  are  concerned  with  a  similar  number  by 

any  sire.     They  are  all  nicely  made.  even,  round  little 

fellows,   and   after   being  handled  and  gentled  during 

the  winter  will  be  given  a  few  lessons  in  harness  next 

spring  to  ^ee  if  they  have  inherited  any  of  the  speed 

which  their  breeding  entitles  them  to  possess. 

Cuicello  worked  the  pacer  Ringrose  by  Falrose  a 
mile  in  2:13%  last  Saturday.  Here  is  a  bay  gelding. 
a  good  looker,  with  speed  enough  to  show  a  quarter 
in  30  seconds,  that  would  make  an  ideal  road  horse. 
Joi  red  him  for  sale,  but  says  he  made  the  mis- 

take of  putting  too  low  a  price  on  him.  Two  or  three 
different  persons  looked  at  him,  and  seemed  to  like 
him.  but  when  the  price  was  stated,  began  to  ask  all 
sorts  of  questions  as  to  what  ailed  him.  Ringrose  is 
sound  and  all  right,  and  Cuicello  thinks  he  would 
have  sold  him  some  time  ago  had  he  made  the  price 
just   twice   as   much   as   he   advertised   him   for. 

Mr.  Coffin  bred  three  mares  to  Zolock  2:05%  this 
year,  including  the  dam  of  Coney  2:02.  and  two  or 
three  to  Kinney  Lou  2:07%.  As  all  his  mares  were 
selected  for  their  breeding,  speed  and  individuality  he 
should  have  some  very  choice  youngsters  by  these 
two  sons  of  the  great  McKinney.

The  people  who  bred  mares  to  Tom  James'  good 
horse  Barondale  2:11*4  when  he  was  in  California 
will  be  pleased  to  hear  that  the  son  of  Baron  Wilkes 
is  making  a  record  for  himself  as  a  sire.  He  put  six 
new  standard  performers  into  the  list  this  year,  and 
five  of  these  records  were  made  on  half  mile  tracks 
In  addition  two  of  his  get  reduced  their  records,  both 
on  tracks  but  a  half  mile  in  circumference.  Those 
that  took  new  records  are :  Garfield  Maid  2.15  ^ . 
Allanadale  2:17%,  Hal  Baron  2:22!4.  Fashoda  2:24%, 
Ima  Barondale  2:24^4,  and  Ellendale  2:19*4.  Those 
reducing  their  records  were  Earlondale  from  2:25% 
to  2:22%,  and  Ima  Barondale  from  2:15%  to  2:14%. 
This  is  a  mighty  good  showing  and  will  do  much  to 
call  the  attention  of  breeders  to  Barondale  who,  how- 
ever, is  already  a  very  popular  horse  in  Iowa.

SOME    OBSERVATIONS. 


I  saw  in  an  Eastern  paper  that  the  two-year-old 
j  filly  by  McKinney.  dam  Our  Lady  by  Nearest,  is  con- 
|  sidered  about  as  fine  a  specimen  of  two-year-old 
I  horseflesh  as  her  admirers  ever  saw.  She  doubtless 
i -will  prove  another  illustration  of  the  "happy  nick" 
resulting  from  the  McKinney-Nutwood  Wilkes  cross. 
What  is  a  "happy  nick"?  It  is  the  nick  that  produces 
i  happy  results  and  the  surest  way  to  get  happy  results 
is  in  the  union  of  the  blood  of  two  or  more  great 
sires  through  their  best  representatives,  and  the 
oftener  the  names  of  great  sires  appear  in  a  pedigree 
the  greater  the  certainty  of  a  "happy  nick."  Cali- 
fornia was  never  so  well  supplied  with  the  blood  of 
great  race  horse  sires  as  at  present.  There  will  very 
soon  be  available  the  blood  of  two  of  the  greatest 
harness  racing  stallions  that  ever  blessed  the  Golden 
State— Searchlight  2.03*4  and  Lecco  2:09%— and  when 
their  blood  is  united  with  the  blood  of  the  great  race 
hiorses  and  sires  of  races  McKinney  and  Director 
through  their  great  sons.  Kinney  Lou,  Zolock,  Zombro, 
Direct  and  Directum,  and  that  backed  up  by  the  blood 
of  Guy  Wilkes,  Electioneer,  Nutwood  and  Steinway, 
no  man  can  doubt  that  the  "happy  nick"  will  occur 
{oftener  than  ever  before  and  that  California  will  not 
only  continue  to  lead  all  other  states  but  assume  a 
I  greater  lead  than  ever  in  the  production  of  winning 
trotters    and    pacers. 

I  T.  W.  Barstow  of  San  Jose  is  the  happy  owner  of 
(another  "happy  nick"  in  a  two-year-old  colt,  art- 
ificially sired  by  McKinney  out  of  a  mare  by  the 
Ibrother  to  the  great  John  A.  McKerron  2:04y2.  that 
lis  a  large  fine  looking  bay  colt  now  two  years  pld,  of 
(which  my  friend  Barstow  is  so  enthiisrastic  over  that 
[when  talking  to  me  about  him  I  suggested"  that  5S  a 
'precaution  he  get  an  iron  band  fitted  into  his  hat 
land  to  take  the  hat  off  only  at  night.  He  said: 
?  "He's  the  greatest  trotter,  sir,  I  ever  saw,  and  you 
(don't  have  to  take  my  word  for  it.  sir.  Everyone  on 
[the  race  track  will  tell  you  they  never  saw  one  lik^- 
I'him;  even  the  'knockers'  have  to  admit  it." 
\     This   I  found  was  true  and   Theodore  has  without 

■  any  doubt  got  an  unusually  bright  prospect.  Even 
Ithe  always  conservative  Budd  Doble  said:  "He  is  a 
[great    colt." 

At  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  sale  held  in  San

ness in  Mayfield,  purchased  for  $110  a  three-year-old 

■  chestnut  gelding  by  Owyhee  2:11,  dam  Prosperina  by

land  Alma  Mater,  third  dam  by  Mambrino  King,  fourth 
!dam  by  Blue  Bell  79.  He  was  slightly  thin  and  skinny 
jat  the  time.  Joe  has  jogged  him  on  the  road  since 
land  he  has  improved  in  condition  and  developed  into 
la  strong  racy  looking  colt.    Last  week  he  entered  Jack 

'Phippins'  training  school  at  San  Jose  and  upon  the 
[next  day  after  his  arrival  there  trotted  a  quarter  in 

■  •41    seconds    under    a    strong    pull    and    "Jack"    saying 
"Whoa,  boy!"   all  the  way  through  the   stretch.     Mr. 

[l  Phippen  says  that  since  the  days  when  he  first  han- 
l  died  the  wonderful  filly  Sunol  he  has  not  driven  such 
la  precocious  young  trotter.  He  is  another  "happy  nick" 
[•and  an  inbred  one.  He  carries  the  blood  of  Owyhee, 
I  Diablo,  Chas.  Derby  (twice),  Steinway,  Strathmore, 
'Atcantara.  Onward,  Geo  Wilkes  (three  times).  Elec- 
Itioneer  (twice),  Mambrino  King  and  the  great  Blue

MAlma  Mater  dam  of  eight  (twice),  Green  Mountain

taining  his  present  record.  During  that  racing  season 
his  temperature  was  never  less  than  101  and  often 
hovered  around  104,  which  means  that  he  was  nothing 
if  not  a  sick  horse.  Yet  how  he  raced.  His  victories 
are  still  fresh  in  our  minds  but  we  did  not  then  fully 
appreciate  them  as  we  did  not  know  they  were  the 
victories  of  a  sick  horse  over  the  best  trotters  in  his 
class  in  America.  That  he  possesses  extreme  speed 
is  known  by  the  fact  that  he  has  repeatedly  stepped 
quarters  at  the  last  end  of  a  fast  mile  in  29  seconds. 
What  kind  of  a  field  of  trotters  would  it  take  to  get 
the  decision  over  him  when  well  and  fit?  In  the 
opinion  of  his  owner  and  others,  better  than  he  has 
yet  met  on  the  race  track.  Will  he  make  a  great 
sire?  Beyond  any  possible  chance  of  a  doubt  the 
answer  is:  He  will.  He  possesses  all  the  necessary 
qualifications  a  great  sire  must  have — not  part  of 
them,  but  all  of  them.  He  lacks  nothing.  Lacking 
nothing,  there  is  no  chance  to  fail,  only  from  lack 
of  opportunity,  which  misfortune  often  befalls  some 
really  great  horses  and  they  live  and  die  in  obscurity. 
But  this  can  never  be  the  lot  of  the  greatest  son  of 
the  greatest  sire.  C.  C.  C. 


breed,  quality  an  character,  and  we  can  in  time 
create  numerous  renters  of  this  kind  by  uniformity 
and  persistency  in  breeding. 


One  that  goes  like  the  making  of  an  extremely  fast 

» trotter  is  a  beautiful  black  three-year-old  filly  'in 
Honest  John  Gordon's  stable  at  San  Jose.     Her  gait  is 

(the  "poetry  of  motion,"  and  while  not  just  the  same 
as  Sonoma  Girl's,  the  best  gaited  trotter  to  my  mind 

!  I  ever  saw,  it  is  similar  and  just  as  pleasing  to  look 

i  at.     She    is   by   Mr.   Gordon's    stallion,    Silver   Arrow. 

I  son  of  Silver  Bow,  and  Lady  Weeks,  dam  of  that 
lamented  black  mare  Ethel  Downs  2:10,  by  the  great 
Nutwood.     Her  dam   is  by  Richard's  Elector,   son   of 

.'  Electioneer.  She  came  into  Mr.  Gordon's  hands 
scarcely  broken,  and  with  her  first  set  of  shoes  on 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:35  Mr.  Gordon  told  me  that  he 
believes  she  could  have  stepped  in  2:30  had  he  asked 

I  her  to  and  he  believed  it  or  he  wouldn't  have  said 
it.     Here's  hoping  she  beats  2:10. 


OTHER  PEOPLE'S  OPINIONS. 


Mr.  Doble  has  a  lovely  two-year-old  filly  which  in 
gait,  breeding  and  beauty  is  hard  to  improve  on. 
She  is  by  the  champion  brood  mare  Beautiful  Bell's 
youngest  son,  Monbells  2:23%,  her  dam  is  Idle  May 
2.24yz  granddam  of  Memonio  (three  years  2:14,  second 
in  2:11%),  sister  of  Wild  May  2:30,  dam  of  L.  96 
2:1C%  by  Electioneer,  second  dam  May,  dam  of  two 
and  dam  of  "Little  Joe,"  a  pacer,  that,  had  he  not 
been  spoiled  and  made  erratic  by  the  "hurry  up 
process"  would  have  made  a  phenomenal  side  wheeler 
and  I  believe  a  do-or-die  race  horse.  H'.s  speed  vas 
intense,  a  half  in  a  minute  just  like  breaking  sticks; 
third  dam  the  great  Mayflower  dam  of  two  worldls 
champion  trotters  and  eight  producing  daughters. 

Kinney  Lou  2:07%  has  enjoyed  a  very  successful 
season  in  the  stud  and  is  now  in  fine  shape.  Mr. 
Doble  is  giving  him  stiff  slow  work  and  will  winter 
him  with  the  view  of  having  him  ready  to  take  East 
next  summer  if  he  should  conclude  to  do  so.  He  is 
not  satisfied  to  permanently  retire  the  greatest  son 
of  the  illustrious  McKinney  without  giving  him  a 
chance  of  acquiring  a  record  somewhere  near  his 
capacity,  which  is  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of 
the  world's  stallion  record.  It  is  not  generally  known 
that  this  great  trotter  was  not  a  well  horse  at  any 
time  during  the  season  of  1903  when  he  made  his 
memorable    campaign    winning   over    $11,000    and    ob- 


Dr.  A.  S.  Alexander.  There  has  been  general  lack 
of  these  principles  in  our  breeding  operations,  as  there 
has  in  every  state  where  imported  animals  have  been 
mployed.  Our  farmers  have  attempted  to  improve 
their  horses  by  grading  up,  by  which  is  meant,  mating 
with  pure-bred  stallions  until  the  blood  of  these  sires 
shall  have  predominated  over  that  of  the  native  stock 
arid  stamped  the  characteristics  of  the  pure  breed 
upon  the  resultant  progeny.  Every  step  taken  in  this 
direction  has  been  well  intended  and  the  results 
would  have  been  highly  satisfactory  had  the  breeders 
continued  to  breed  on  and  up  by  successive  top-cross- 
ing with  sires  of  the  same  breed.  Five  or  more  of 
such  top-crossings  are  required  to  obliterate  the  na- 
tive blood  in  the  combination  and,  in  fact,  constitute 
practical  purity  of  blood,  according  to  the  require- 
ments of  some  of  the  stud  books.  But  breeders  here, 
as  elsewhere,  have  followed  no  concerted  plan  in  their 
grading  up  operations  They  have  commenced  right, 
but  gone  wrong  shortly,  by  mating  the  female  progeny 
with  horses  of  another  pure  breed — one  different  from 
the  first  used,  yet  possibly  of  as  good  type  and  char- 
acter. All  sorts  of  crosses  have  been  made  ui  this 
way,  "the  result  being  that  most  of  our  horses  are  of 
mixed  breeding  and.  many  of  them  mere  mongrels  and 
misfits.  Out  of  this  heterogeneous  collection  of  nonen- 
ities  are  a  few  phenomenally  good  individuals.  Where 
all  of  the  requisites  for  perfect  development  of  frame 
and  body  exist  it  may  be  taken  for  granted  that  vim, 
vigor,  hardy  constitution  and  "staying  powers"  will 
be  the  natural  legacy  of  the  horses  there  bred,  pro- 
vided   the  climate   is   not   innervating. 

While  fine  individual  animals  are  sometimes  pro- 
duced by  mixed  breeding  or  cross  breeding,  there  is 
nothing  definite  about  such  mating  methods  and  the 
progeny  is  much  more  apt  to  be  nondescript  than 
above  average.  The  only  certain  method  of  raising 
the  general  average  of  our  horses  as  regards  type, 
quality,  character,  action  and  specific  utility  must 
come  from  persistent  breding  to  sires  of  the  same 
breed  until  the  blood  of  that  breed  has  wholly  ob- 
literated the  impure,  or  native,  blood  derived  from 
the  mares  originally  used.  Where  this  is  done  the 
resultant  progeny  will  be  pure  in  blood,  to  all  intents 
and  purposes  and,  to  the  same  extent,  true  in  every 
character  and  quality  of  the  pure  breed  employed. 
Naturally,  then,  we  should  find  among  these  animals, 
graded  up  to  practical  purity  of  blood,  general  ex- 
cellence of  form,  quality,  action  and  utility,  such  as 
characterizes  the  breed  used  in  the  work  of  improve- 
ment, and  such  is  the  case,  as  a  general  result,  wher- 
ever this  course  has  been  pursued.  To  make  our  ar- 
gument more  clear  let  it  be  said  that  if  the  owner 
of  a  brood  mare,  or  number  of  mares,  of  selected  type, 
but  of  native  or  mixed  blood,  starts  to  grade  up  by 
mating  them  with  a  pure-bred  Percheron  stallion,  that 
breed  should  be  used  right  along,  year  after  year,  until 
all  of  the  native  or  mixed  blood  has  been  overcome 
and  obliterated  by  the  Percheron  blood.  This  is  to 
be  done  by  castrating  and  selling  all  of  the  male 
progeny  and  weeding  out  all  poor  individuals  of  the 
female  progeny:  then  mating  the  selected  grade  fillies 
each  time  with  Percheron  stallions.  As  already  stated, 
at  least  five  top-crosses  of  pure  Percheron  blood  must 
be  used  in  this  way  to  obtain  practically  pure-bred 
Percheron  stock  from  a  scrub  or  mixed  bred  founda- 
tion, and  when  these  crosses  have  been  put  on,  the 
owner  would  be  foolish  .indeed  to  mar  it  by  the  ad- 
mixture of  alien  blood. 

The  same  principle  applies  to  whatever  breed  of 
horses  is  started  with.  That  breed  should  be  per- 
sisted with  until  its  characteristics  predominate  in  the 
blood  of  the  entire  horse  stock  of  the  farm,  and  if  the 
breed  commenced  with  was  suitable  for  the  district 
and  the  market  and  the  horses  in  general  were  fully 
fed  for  perfect  development  and  obtained  from  sound 
sires  and  dams,  the  resultant  stock  would  be  market- 
able at  remunerative  prices  to  buyers  of  the  particular 
class  of  horses  bred  During  the  grading*  up  process 
every  out  cross  to  a  sire  of  other  blood  than  the  one 
commenced  with  will  set  the  entire  operation  back  to 
where  it  started.  Should  a  number  of  outcrosses  be 
made*  the  process  is  not  grading  up,  but  standing  si  in, 
or  retrogressing:  and  the  stock  bred  will  have  neither 
definite  character  nor  certain  value.  We  have  been 
using  pure  bred  sires,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent, 
for  upwards  of  fifty  yars.  yet  Cew,  if  any,  -listi -lets  have 
persistently  used  such  sires  in  a  right  line  until  the 
"character  and  quality  of  any  one  breed  have  become 
predominant  and  the  breeding  district  consequently 
noted  as  a  center  for  excel  1  en  1  horses  of  the  breed 
chosen  and,  therefore,  attractive  to  the  buyer  in  need 
of  that  market  commodity.  In  Wisconsin,  as  else- 
where, we  should  have  many  centers  noted  for  the 
annual  production  of  numbers   of  horses  of  standard 


-Horse  Show  Monthly:  As  every  cloud  lias  its  silver 
lining  so  have  the  farmer  man  and  the  regular  dealer 
in  horses  found,  or  soon  will  find,  that  the  troubles 
of  the  race  track  people  will  work  to  their  profit.  The 
same  thing  happened  in  1S93.  when,  you  probably  re- 
member, there  was  a  great  slump  in  the  racing  game 
as  well  as  in  other  forms  of  business.  Race  horse- 
were  actually  given  away  by  owners  who  found  the 
business  of  running  them  did  not  bring  enough  to  pay 
for  their  keep,  others  were  sold  for  so  little  that  not 
even  vocal  efforts  were  encouraged.  Anybody  who 
could  buy  oats  could  afford  a  thoroughbred,  and  he 
could  get  it  without  a  song.  Most  of  the  horses  so 
disposed  of  were  of  little  value  as  runners,  but  they 
had  the  blood  .strain  that  is  bound  to  tell  in  the  last 
analysis.  As  the  Barbary  steeds  that  Pizarro  and 
Cortez  brought  to  the  pampas  of  the  South  developed 
or  degenerated  into  the  tireless  mustang  of  the  prai- 
ries, so  have  the  cast-off  horses  of  the  racing  stables 
of  something  more  than  a  decade  ago  been  trans- 
formed into  staid  but  indomitable  work  horses.  The 
thoroughbred  blood  is  there  and  it  asserts  itself  in 
demonstrations  of  energy  at  the  plow  or  in  the  fam- 
ily surrey.  Many  a  good  old  family  horse  of  this 
generation  is  sprung  from  a  mare  or  a  horse  that 
knew  as  much  about  the  saddle  call  or  the  starter's 
drum  (they  used  a  drum  in  those  days  and  the  barrier 
was  unknown)  as  the  favorites  that  so  recently  broke 
records  at  Belmont   Park. 

The  cast-offs  were  bred  by  farmers  into  whose 
hands  they  fell,  and  the  stock  of  the  country  was 
thereby  greatly  improved.  There  never  was,  and 
never  will  be  a  good  type  of  horse  for  any  purpose 
that  has  not  a  large  infusion  of  thoroughbred  blood, 
and  every  time  there  is  a  decrease  in  the  value  of 
thoroughbred  horses  more  of  that  sort  of  blood  will 
be  disseminated  among  the  horses  of  the  common  peo- 
ple, and  for  the  use  of  men  who  want  horses  that 
can  do  things,  and  will  do  or  die. 

The  United  States  Government  recognizes  the  value 
of  the  thoroughbred  as  a  cavalry  horse,  though  the 
agents  of  the  government  do  not  generally  admit  it, 
and  some  of  them  do  not  even  know  that  they  know. 
This  last  class  only  know  that  they  want  a  typical 
cavalry  horse,  and  that  such  a  horse  is  being  bred 
slowly  but  surely.  They  do  not  connect  the  filling 
of  the  want  they  recognize  with  the  apparent,  and  . 
possibly  temporary  passing  of  the  horse  as  a  gambling 
machine.  The  men  who  are  breeding  the  ideal  cavalry 
horse  are  utilizing  the  thoroughbred.  They  are  breed- 
ing race  mares  of  divers  sorts  to  thoroughbred  stal- 
lions that  have  been  shunted  out  of  the  racing  stables. 
With  that  sort  of  sires  and  dams  nearly  any  sort  of 
desirable  horse  can  be  produced,  and  finally  there  will 
be  developed  a  sire  of  such  prepotency  as  to  found  a 
new  type.  It  was  thus  that  the  celebrated  Morgan 
horse  was  evolved.  It  is  the  same  with  the  Frenqji 
coach  horse,  and  the  American  roadster.  In  every 
recognized  type  of  superior  horse  flesh  there  is  neces- 
sarily a  strong  foundation  of  thoroughbred  blood,  of 
the  blood  that  made  the  coursers  of  Saladin  famous, 
and  the  same  blood  that  has  made  the  English  bred 
racer  the  conquerer  of  the  world. 

Up  in  Missouri  on  the  prairies  where  the  eye  can 
reach  for  ten  or  twelve  miles,  and  the  land  is  so  flat 
that  it  is  "dished,"  there  are  horses  that  can  drag 
a  heavy  buggy  and  two  heavy  people  fifty  miles  in  six 
hours  and  do  it  again  next  day.  then  run  away  and 
break  up  the  wagon  if  a  fool  gets  hold  of  the  lines 
•and  they  realize  that  he  Is  a  fool.  These  horses  are 
nearly  full  thoroughbred,  but  they  are  trained  to  trot, 
and  never  run  unless  the  fool,  hereinbefore  referred 
to,  gets  behind  them.  Their  descendants  will  forget 
even  that  much  of  the  instinct  of  the  thoroughbred  to 
use  the  gait  that  covers  the  most  ground  in  the  short- 
est time. 

Down  in  Arkansas  an  elderly  gentleman  with  long 
whiskers,  named  Rice,  has  crossed  his  country  bred 
mares  with  thoroughbred  stallions,  and  permitted  the 
progeny  to  get  their  own  living  in  the  cane  brakes. 
The  result  is  that  he  has  twenty  or  thirty  hunting 
ponies  that  could  be  sold  for  thousands  of  dollars  each 
if  they  were  put  on  the  market  for  polo  players.  They 
are  small  but  capable  of  carrying  a  two -hundred 
pound  man  a  hundred  miles  in  fifteen  hours,  or  dash- 
ing off  a  quarter  in  25  seconds  It  is  the  thorough- 
bred blood  that  gives  them  their  speed  and  their  en- 
durance. 

So  let  me  tell  you  again  the  more  thoroughbreds 
that  are  turned  over  to  men  who  will  mingle  their 
blood  with  the  colder  strains  of  the  common  every  day 
horse  the  better  for  the  horse  owner  generally,  and 
particularly  for  the  man  who  wants  a  show  hois.-. 
When  you  see  a  good  show  horse  you  can  go  and 
bet  your  overcoat  just  before  a  blizzard  that  he  lias  .1 
liberal  dash  of  thoroughbred  blood  in  him.  If  he 
hasn't  he  isn't  much  of  a  show,  and  he  is  less  of  a 
horse.  Always  remember,  however,  that  types  o:' 
horses  are  created  and  may  become  so  nearly  pern  a 
hent  that  the  thomughbreed  origin  is  forgotten,  but 
it   is  always  there.

Prominent  American  and  English  horsemen  identi- 
fied with  the  National  Horse  Show  Association,  are 
considering  the  project  of  an  international  exhibition 
in  England  next  year.  Among  the  prime  movers  in 
the  enterprise  are  James  T.  Hyde,  the  man  who 
brought  the  National  into  existence;  Richard  F.  Car- 
man, one  of  the  largest  stockholders  in  the  associa- 
tion, and  F.  V.  Gooch,  the  English  dealer  who  has 
judged  saddle  horses  at  the  National  for  several  years 
past.  Their  present  plans  contemplate  a  big  exhibi- 
tion on  the  lines  of  the  National  in  London  in  May, 
under  management  of  Mr.  Hyde.  Much  encourage- 
ment is  being  given  to  the  project  by  prominent 
exhibitors  who  have  been  invited  to  join  in  exploiting 
American  horses  abroad  by  shipping  their  stables 
across  the  transatlantic  ferry  for  this  show.  It  is  said 
that-  several  leading  American  owners  have  given 
assurance  that  they  will  take  their  horses  over  if  the 
exhibition  is  held.  A  final  decision  in  the  matter  will 
probably  be  reached  at  the  November  show  at  Madi- 
son Square  Garden. 


Among  the  recent  purchases  of  W.  A.  Clark  Jr.  is 
a  two-year-old  colt  by  Liberty  Chimes,  dam  Miss 
Isadore  by  Pamlico  2:10. 


Had  the  California  circuit  been  longer  this  year  the 
list  of  new  2:15  performers  would  have  been  larger. 
Quite  a  number  of  good  green  trottesr  and  pacers 
were  kept  at  home  because  the  meetings  were  so  few. 


Several  of  the  young  fillies  to  be  sold  at  the  Rose 
Dale  Stock  Farm  are  entered  and  paid  up  on  in  the 
Occident,  Stanford  and  Breeders'  Futurity.  The 
auction  sale  is  to  he  held  next  Tuesday  evening  at 
Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s  salesyard,  1732  Market  street, 
this   city. 


Go  out  to  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s  salesyard  any  time 
between  now  and  Tuesday  evening  next,  the  night  of 
the  sale,  and  look  over  that  sever-year-old  bay  mare, 
No.  13,  in  the  catalogue.  She  stands  15.3  and  weigh; 
1050  pounds.  She  is  by  St.  Whips  29,721,  a  son  ol 
Whips  2:27%,  and  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Daly  2:15, 
next  dam  by  Milton  Medium,  the  horse  that  sired 
Lou  Dillon's  dam  Here  is  a  pretty  rich  combination 
of  blood.  This  mare  is  in  foal  to  Washington  Mc- 
Kinney, a  magnificent  son  of  the  greatest  sire  of  2:15; 
trotters.  She  is  worth  a  great  deal  more  than  she 
will   bring. 


In  an  exhibition  mile  paced  by  Dan  Patch  at  Mern- 
phic,  November  3d.  the  champion  pacer  equaled  the 
world's  record  without  a  wind  shield,  covering  the 
distance  in  1:59%.  This  record  has  been  held  by  Star 
Pointer  for  a  number  of  years.  The  quarter  was 
passed  in  0:30,  the  half  was  reached  in  0:59%  and  the 
three-quarter   pole  in   1:29. 


One  of  the  handsomest  youngster  at  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm  this  year  is  a  colt  by  Stam  B.  2.11%,  out 
of  Electway,  sister  to  Chas.  Derby  2:20,  Klatawah 
2:05%  and  other  good  ones.  This  colt  is  a  perfect 
gaited  trotter. 


Mr.  C.  W.  Wright  purchased  last  week  from  O'Brien 
&  Sons,  Coast  agents,  a  new  model  low  seat  Toomey 
sulky,  and  a  pneumatic  tire  Toomey  road  cart,  both 
of  which  vehicles  were  sent  to  Australia. 


Mr  Ezra  Thompson,  a  prominent  road  driver  of 
Salt  Lake  City,  and  one  of  the  solid  business  men  of 
that  community,  was  elected  mayor  of  that  city  at 
the  election  held  last  Tuesday.  A  horseman  is  a  hard 
man  to  beat  at  any  election.  Mayor  Schmitz  is  a  reg- 
ular road  driver,  while  Mr.  Partridge  is  not.  Mayor 
Thompson  is  the  owner  of  the  horse  Robert  I.  2:0S% 
by  Hambletonian  Wilkes,  that  is  being  raced  on  the 
Southern  California  circuit  this  month. 


A  filly  that  will  make  an  ideal  driving  animal  is 
a  two-year-old  bay  by  Washington  McKinney  out  of 
Danville  Maid  by  Daly  2:15,  grandam  by  Steinway 
2:25%,  that  goes  to  the  Rose  Dale  Stock  Farm  sale 
at  Chase  &  Co.'s  next  Tuesday  evening.  She  is  broken 
nicely,  is  gentle  and  very  attractive  in  appearance. 
She  trotted  a  mile  in  3:10  the  first  time  hitched  to 
a  cart  and  is  entered  in  the  Stanford  Stake  for  next 
year. 


Monday,  December  4th,  is  the  day  for  the  closing 
of  entries  for  the  $7,000  Breeders'  Futurity,  which  is 
for  the  foals  of  mares  bred  this  year.  Mares  must 
be  nominated  on  or  before  that  date.  It  only  costs 
$2,  and  you  have  a  number  of  changes  to  win. 


It  is  reported  that  the  Spokane  Fair  came  out  about 
$13,000  ahead  this  year. 


Mr.  H.  W.  Lawrence,  a  prominent  business  man  at 
Los  Angeles4  and  owner  of  that  good  young  stallion 
Murray  M.  2:14,  winner  of  the  Breeders'  Futurity 
for  three-year-old  trotters  in  1904,  dropped  into  the 
Breeders'  office  last  Wednesday  on  his  way  home 
from  a  trip  East.  Mr.  Lawrence  states  that  Murray 
M  had  a  big  season  in  the  stud  this  year,  and  has 
filled  out  into  a  fine,  handsome  and  large  four-year- 
old.  Murray  M.  is  by  Hambletonian  Wilkes  out  of 
Anna  Belle  by  Dawn,  being  an  own  brother  to  the 
fast  pacer  Robert  I.  2.0S%.  He  is  a  grandly  bred 
young  horse  and  having  a  three-year-old  record  of 
2:14  as  well  as  being  a  stake  winner,  he  will  be  well 
patronized  by  breeders  who  aim  to  breed  the  best. 
As  he  closed  his  racing  season  in  good  shape  last 
year,  there  is  nothing  to  prevent  his  lowering  his 
record   to  2:10  or  better  next  season  if  he  is  raced. 


The  American  Sportsman  of  Cleveland  prints  the 
following:  The  boys  say  that  the  California  trainer. 
James  Thompson's  car  contained,  besides  his  horses, 
a  brindle  bull  dog,  a  Maltese  cat,  four  game  chickens, 
a  fan-tailed  white  pigeon,  four  barrels  of  sour  winter 
apples  and  two  tons  of  hard  coal.  With  all  these  pets 
and  a  brand-new  wife,  Mr.  Thompson's  time  should  be 
fully  occupied  this  winter. 


A  trotting  or  pacing  colt  that  was  bred  to  race  but 
is  not  entered  in  any  stakes  often  leads  a  prospective 
buyer  to  believe  that  the  breeder  did  not  think  much 
<>f  him  or  he  would  have  been  entered.  The  Pacific 
Breeders'  Futurity  will  close  for  the  nomination  of 
mares  on  the  4ih  of  December. 


Tuesday  evening,  November  21st,  is  the  date  set 
for  the  sale  of  young  trotters  from  the  Woodland 
Stock  Farm.  Here  is  an  opportunity  to  get  good 
youngsters  from  a  farm  that  breeds  stake  winners 


Bellemont  2:17%,  by  Zombro  2:11,  winner  of  the 
two-year-old  trotting  division-  of  the  Pacific  Breeders' 
Futurity  last  year  and  of  third  money  in  the  same 
stake  this  year  as  well  as  second  money  in  the 
Occident  Stake,  is  reported  as  trotting  very  fast  for 
Will  Durfee  at  Los  Angeles.  She  was  entirely  oft 
early  in  the  season  this  year  and  was  short  of  wrork 
when  the  racing  season  opened,  but  Is  now  stepping 
like  a  coming  champion.  She  trotted  a  mile  in  2:11% 
at  Los  Angeles  last  week  and  finished  strong. 


No  less  than  thirty-seven  horses  with  records  of 
2:10  or  better  are  consigned  to  the  Old  Glory  sale. 
Cresceus  2:02%  heads  the  list  as  the  fastest  trotter, 
and   Sir  Albert  S.   2.03%    is  the   fastest   pacer. 


Zombro    2 :  11    was    bred    to    fifty-seven    mares 
Oregon    this   year,    and   there   were   many   high   cla: 
ones   among   them. 


Nominate  your  mares,  bred  this  year,  in  Pacific 
Breeders'  Futurity  No.  6,  which  has  a  guaranteed 
value  of  $7,000. 


Here  is  a  good  one  on  Scott  Hudson.  At  Lexington 
he  took  a  look  at  his  former  pupil  Nervolo,  who  the 
week  before  had  paced  in  Cincinnati  in  2:03.  Turnin: 
to  Owner  Lockwood,  Scott  said:  "I  can  shoe  him  so 
that  it  will  make  about  three  seconds  difference  in  his 
speed."  The  horse  went  to  the  shop  and  was  shod  as 
Hudson  directed,  with  a  result  which  made  the  au 
burn-haired  Kentuckian  a  true  prophet  The  next 
day  he  raced  with  Hudson  behind  him  and  his  fastest 
heat  was  2:05%. 


The  death  of  Clarence  Van  Bokelen,  a  student  of 
the  Santa  Clara  High  School  and  son  of  the  weii- 
known  horseman  B.  O.  Van  Bokelen  of  San  Jose,  oc- 
curred last  week  and  resulted  from  injuries  received 
while  playing  a  game  of  football.  Young  Van  Boke- 
len was  a  particularly  bright  and  exemplary  youth* 
a  general  favorite  and  his  death  is  deeply  deplored.|B 
The  sympathy  of  their  numerous  friends  and  ac- 
quaintances among  the  horsemen  of  this  coast  is 
extended   to   his   sorrowing   parents. 


Look  in  our  advertising  columns  for  the  announce-

Nushagak  and  Prince  Ansel  are  two  stallions  that 
sire  speed.  The  young  things  by  them  which  are  to 
be  sold  by  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.  in  this  city  on  the 
evening  of  Tuesday,  November  21st,  are  a  very  fine 
lot.  Go  to  the  sale  and  get  another  one  like  Aristo 
2.0S%    that   sold  for  $10,000. 


Nothing  definite  has  been  decided  on  as  to  whether 
Lou  Dillon  will  be  bred  to  John  A.  MeKerron  2:04%  or 
not.  If  she  is  bred  at  all_she  will  be  bred  to  MeKer- 
ron. but  not  until  spring.  The  chances  are,  however, 
that  the  queen  of  all  trotters  will  be  bred  to  Mr. 
Devereux's  horse.  Mr.  Billings  was  greatly  pleased 
with  the  colts  foaled  by  his  mares  last  spring  and  will 
no  doubt  send  Lou  Dillon  to  the  brood  mare  ranks 
in  the  spring.  If  he  does.  MeKerron  will  have  the 
distinction  of  having  bred  to  him  two  great  mares, 
one  an  ex-champion  world's  trotter  and  the  other  the 
present  world's  champion.  It  will  be  a  distinction 
never  before  enjoyed  by  a  stallion. 


Chas.  De  Ryder  brought  over  with  him  from  Salt 
Lake  the  pacing  mare  Alpha  W.  2:08,  to  be  bred  to 
Star  Pointer  1:59%.  Alpha  W.  is  by  Judge  Norval 
and  is  owned  by  Mr.  J.  T.  Richards  of  Salt  Lake  City.

The  Opening  Handicap,  one  mile,  to  be  run  this  af- 
ternoon at  Emeryville,  on  paper  is  such  a  severe  rid- 
dle to  solve  that  I  would  not  be  surprised  to  see  the 
favorite  as  good  as  3  to  1.  Proper  is  the  top-weighter 
•at  126  pounds,  and  justly  so,  as  he  is  the  classiest 
horse  in  the  contest,  taking  courage  and  weight-pack- 
ing ability  as  the  test.  He  rna  a  mile  this  season 
in  the  heavy  going  better  than  1:41  with  122  pounds 
up,  went  the  short  six  furlongs  in  1:1014  with  114 
pounds,  and  a  mile  and  a  furlong  in  about  1:52  4-5 
with  127  pounds  in  the  saddle.  Thus,  even  on  a  time 
and  weight  basis,  his  races  will  compare  favorably 
with  those  of  any  horse  in  the  race.  Bragg  is  nicely- 
weighted  at  10S  pounds,  and  as  he  not  long  ago  ran 
a  mile  in  1:4014  with  106  pounds  up,  has  an  undoubted 
opportunity  to  win.  Graziallo  (113  pounds)  was  beat- 
en half  a  length  at  seven  furlongs  in  1:27  with  127 
pounds  up,  and  if  he  should  be  in  as  good  shape  now 
as  then  ought  to  run  the  mile  in  about  1:39  3-5.  As 
he  is  the  stable  companion  of  Proper,  Walter  Jen- 
nings has  a  right  to  shake  hands  with  himself  and  do 
a  little  chuckling.  San  Nicolas  (109  pounds)  in  1904 
ran  a  mile  in  1:39%  at  Kansas  City,  winning  easily 
by  two  lengths  with  103  pounds  on  his  back.  Beau 
Ormonde  (107).  in  the  stud  for  some  time  past,  has 
a  mile  in  1:38  to  his  credit  at  Worth  track  with  about 
90  pounds  up.  Rightful  (106)  did  seven  furlongs  over 
the  slow  Memphis  track  in  1:28  on  July  1st  last,  car- 
rying 109  pounds,  and  winning  the  Gaston  Hotel 
Handicap,  and  beat  Andrew  Mack  and  other  good 
ones  at  seven  furlongs  previous  to  that.  In  all  his 
other  Memphis  races  he  was  placed.  Red  Leaf  (100) 
carried  105  pounds  at  Latonia  and  was  beaten  a  head 
at  a  mile  by  Maj.  T.  J.  Carson  (94)  in  1.39  3-5.  Fig- 
uring that  the  Emeryville  track  and  the  Latonia 
course  are  about  the  same  these  days,  and  taking  five 
pounds  off  the  Ally,  Red  Leaf  should  go  a  mile  this 
afternoon  in  about  1:39*4,  which  would  make  her 
chances  appear  very  rosy.  Callaghan  (95)  and  Neva 
Lee  (95)  have  been  working  very  fast  of  late,  and 
will  have  many  friends.  Briarthorpe,  with  97  pounds 
up,  should  render  a  good  account  of  himself.  At  Los 
Angeles.  March  24,  1905,  with  106  pounds  up,  he  ran 
a  mile  and  a  furlong  in  1:53%,  and  with  nine  pounds 
off  would  have  gone  the  route  in  about  1:52  4-5.  Take 
13  1-5  seconds  off  for  the  extra  furlong,  and  the  mile 
would  be  run  in  1:39  3-5.  and  this  would  give  Briar- 
thorpe an  outside  opportunity  to  a  certainty.  Others 
with  a  'look-in"  are  Gorgalette  (101),  Judge  (105),  and 
Sea  Air  (98  pounds).  The  first  named  ran  a  mile 
and  a  sixteenth  at  Emeryville,  April  29th,  with  102 
pounds  up.  in  1:46%,  and  a  mile  in  1:40  with  100 
pounds,  on  April  25th.  beating  High  Chancellor  (115 
pounds)  in  the  last  named  event  by  half  a  length.  If 
Bonsack's  horse  (asked  to  carry  but  108  pounds  in  the 
Opening  Handicap)  were  "on  edge"  (he  looks  very 
"high")  he  would  have  to  be  reckoned  with.  Claude 
(118)  will  probably  not  come  out,  and  Reservation 
(113)  is  not  the  horse  he  was  when  he  downed  Claude. 
Following  are  the  weights  announced  by  Handicapper 
Egbert  last  Monday  evening: 

Ocyrohe     101 

Gorgalette    101 

Hugh  McGowan    101 

Good   Cheer    102 

Red   Leaf    100

The  Sausalito  poolrooms  will  be  closed  at  the  usual 
time  after  all.  Messrs.  Daroux  and  Harvey  are  lu 
the  six-figure  mark  "to  the  good."  as  usual,  say  those 
who  should  know.  Each  poolroom  winner  on  the 
season  is  welcome  to  a  large  sized  oil  painting  entitled 
"Ajax  Defying  the  Lightning."

The  California  Jockey  Club's  new  rule  about  ap- 
prentices only  getting  the  allowance  for  their  con- 
tract employers  is  a  solution  of  a  "vexed  question." 
The  agents  of  riders  will  now  be  forced  to  get  them- 
selves  a    string   of    gallopers    or    lose    their   agencies.

MR.  C.   K.  G    BILLINGS'  TROTTER  PRINCE  OP    ORANGE  2:061 


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

THE    ORPHANAGE    BENEFIT. 


About  $800  was  realized  for  the  benefit  of  that 
worthy  charity,  the  Armitage  Orphanage,  at  the  Cali- 
fornia Polo  and  Pony  Association's  .race  meeting  at 
Mr.  C.  W.  Clark's  track  at  San  Mateo  last  Tuesday. 

The  first  race,  three-eighths  of  a  mile,  for  non-win- 
ners, was  a  fast  race  and  was  won  by  Captain  .Mc- 
Kittrick's  pony,  Helen  Warwick,  in  :  37  1-5,  Chauncey 
Hayes'  Ramona  second,  and  C  W.  Clark's  Chanate 
third. 

The  second  race  was  a  half-mile  match  between 
C.  W.  Clark's  Bas  Blancs.  with  Mackay  up.  and  Ru- 
dolph Spreckels'  Althomer,  with  Skinner  up.  Altho- 
mer  won   easily   in    :  51  1-5. 

The  third  race,  at  three-eighths  of  a  mile,  wis  an- 
other match  between  the  Clark  and  Spreckels  stables. 
Clark's  Midlove.  Dunphy  up,  met  Spreckels'  Ulctma, 
Skinner  up.  Spreckels'  horse  was  the  favorite,  ;is  she 
had  already  outrun  Midlove  and  had  beaten  every 
pony  she  had  been  pitted  against  this  season.  As 
usual,  with  these  two  jockeys  up.  there  was  a  long 
delay  at  the  start,  but  Dunphy  finally  got  away  in 
front.  Skinner  couldn't  overtake  him  in  1  lie  short 
distance  and  Midlove  won  by  several  lengths,  run- 
ning the  distance  in   :  37. 

The  fourth   i .     quarter-mile  handicap,   had   Ave 

entries,   and   J.   Chauncey   Hayes   Jr.'s   Ramona,    with 


creased  by  many  from  other  states. 

Breeders  of  animals  and  breeders  of  plants,  scien- 
tists, experimenters  and  students  interested  in  breed- 
ing and  heredity,  the  agricultural  press  and  every 
agency  devoted  to  the  advancement  of  agriculture 
should  not  neglect  this  opportunity  to  get  in  touch 
with  and  be  a  part  of  this  vigorous  organization  by 
being  present  at  these  meetings.  Its  annual  report 
and  directory  was  recently  published  and  sent  to  all 
members.

FAST    COLTS    IN    TULARE    CO. 


Tulare.  Cal.,  Nov.  7th,  1905. 
Three  as  great  yearlings  as  ever  lined  up  for  the 
word  raced  at  Hanford  and  Tulare  this  year,  not  one 
nf  them  having  had  work  enough  to  mention,  yet  they 
raced  like  old  campaigners  and  showed  2:10  speed  in 
spots.  Two  of  these  yearlings  were  by  Stoneway  and 
one  by  R.  O.  Newman's  Robert  Direct.  The  Direct 
colt  is  eligible  to  start  in  the  two-year-old  pacing 
division  of  the  Breeders'  stake  next  year,  and  if  he 
falls  into  good  hands  will  lower  the  two-year-old 
Futurity  record  for  this  Coast  of  2:1514  almost  to  a 
certainty    if    need    be.      Not    all    the    good    ones   are    at 

Pleast n    and   Los  Angeles   by   any   means,   and   we

Decrease   of   Bobwhite. 


Every  few  years,  on  the  recurrence  of  unusually 
severe  winters  with  heavy  snows  which  cover  the  food 
supply,  great  numbers  of  hobwhites  perish,  and  some- 
limes  in  the  northern  part  of  its  range  the  bird  be- 
comes almost  extinct.  This  unnecessary  loss  of  life 
could  be  largely  prevented  if  land  owners  and  others 
interested  would  scatter  a  little  grain  in  suitable 
places.  This  is  done  in  some  localities,  as  at  Sandy 
Spring,  Md.,  where  H  H.  Miller  drives  over  the  snow- 
covered  country,  scattering  grain  for  the  starving 
quoil.  The  practice  is  worthy  of  general  adoption. 
It  is  necessary  only  while  the  ground  is  snowbound, 
and  especially  after  sleet  storms. 

The  bobwhite  has  taken  kindly  to  civilization  and 
has  followed  the  plow  of  the  settler  into  new  sections, 
so  that  with  the  advance  of  the  farming  area  in  the 
"West,  and  especially  in  the  Northwest,  its  range  has 
been   much    extended. 

There  is  little  doubt,  however,  that,,  while  the  hob- 
white  is  a  fairly  hardy  and  prolific  species,  its  num- 
bers are  decreasing  in  much,  if  not  all,  of  its  range, 
where  not  specially  protected.  In  the  early  fifties 
Lewis  reported  sixty-one  birds  killed  in  a  day  to  a 
single  muzzle-loader,  and  mentions  900  birds  trapped 
on  one  estate  in  a  season.  Whithin  the  last  few- 
years  the  scarcity  of  bobwhites  has  been  so  notable 
that  several  projected  field  trials  have  been  aban- 
doned for  lack  of  birds  en  which  to  try  the  dogs. 

Severe  winters,  as  already  noted,  are  an  occasional 
cause  for  a  great  decrease  in  the  number  of  the  birds, 
though  they  increase  rapidly  with  a  few  succeeding 
good  seasons.  In  sections  where  the  birds  are  still 
common  unlimited  slaughter  is  often  indulged  in  by 
thoughtless  hunters.  Recent  instances  of  such 
slaughter  are  on  record,  and  the  following  may  be 
cited:  A  bag  of  175  birds  to  three  guns  in  eight 
hours  in  the  fall  of  1902  at  Tiffin,  O.,  another  of 
300  birds  to  a  single  gun  in  a  day  and  a  half  in  the 
fall  of  1902,  in  Marshall  county,  Ky.,  and  still  another 
of  292  birds  to  three- guns  in  a  day  in  South  Carolina 
during  the  same  season  The  value  of  this  bird,  both 
to  the  farmer  and  the  sportsman,  renders  the  ques- 
tion of  its  maintenance  and  increase  one  of  much 
importance.  So  assiduously  is  the  bobwhite  sought 
by  sportsmen  and  market  hunters  that  intelligent  and 
concerted  efforts  are  needed  even  to  maintain  its 
present  numbers. 
Legislation    in    Behalf  of   Bobwhite. 

In  addition  to  natural  causes,  reasons  for  the 
diminished  numbers  of  bobwhites  are  diversity  in  the 
open  season,  shooting  out  of  season,  excessive  shoot- 
ing in  season,  and  unrestricted  shooting  and  trapping 
for  market.  Lack  of  uniformity  in  laws  of  adjoining 
States,  and  in  some  cases  of  adjoining  counties,  ren- 
ders their  observance  difficult  and  their  enforcement 
often  impossible.  No  other  game  bird  has  been  the 
subject  of  so  much  legislation,  which,  beginning  in 
New  Tork  in  1791,  now  extends  to  every  State  and 
Territory  wheer  the  bird  is  native  or  has  been  intro- 
duced. The  length  of  season  during  which  the  bird 
should  be  protected  by  law  is  a  matter  of  paramount 
importance.  It  goes  without  saying  that  no  shooting 
should  be  permitted  during  the  breeding  season,  which 
must  be  understood  to  last  until  the  young  of  the 
year  are  strong  of  wing  and  fully  developed  for  the 
struggle  for  existence.  Besides  this  the  close  season 
ought  to  includ  months  of  rest,  during  which  the 
birds  can  fortify  themselves  for  the  physiological 
strain  of  the  ne*xt  period  of  reproduction.  As  how 
established  the  open  season  varies  from  twenty-one 
days  in  Ohio  to  seven  months  in  Mississippi.  In 
North  Carolina,  however,  where  nearly  every  county 
has  its  own  law,  the  bobwhite  may  be  shot  through- 
out the  year  in  five  counties.  Virginia  has  recently 
abolished  county  laws  and  established  uniformity,  an 
example  that  other  States,  especially  Southern  States, 
would  do  well  to  follow.  It  is  gratifying  to  note  that 
in  1903  the  open  seasons  were  shortened  by  New  York, 
Illinois,  Texas  and"  Virginia  In  eight  States — Maine, 
Rhode  Island,  Wisconsin,  North  Dakota,  Montana, 
Colorado.  Wyoming  and  Utah — the  bobwhite  is  abso- 
lutely protected  for  a  term  of  years,  extending  to  1920 
in  Colorado.  Two  conditions  justify  such  prohibition 
of  shooting.  First,  when  excessive  shooting  or  other 
'Mis.  s  have  made  recuperation  necessary;  second, 
when  birds  just  introduced  into  a  new  locality  need 
time  to  establish  themselves.  Wherever  the  bird  can 
not  hold  its  own  with  an  open  seison  of  three  weeks, 
absolute  protection  for  a  period  of  years  is  demanded. 
The  length  of  the  open  season  must  vary  with  varying 
conditions,  but  in  view  of  the  general  decrease  of 
the  birds  there  would  seem  tc  be  a  growing  need  for 
shortening  it.  The  sooner  Northern  States  limit  their 
shooting  to  one  month  the  better.  Even  Southern 
birds  can  not  stand  the  present  continuous  fusillade 
of  from  four  to  seven  months,  and  the  open  season 
in  the  South  should  be  limited  two  or  at  most  three 
months. 

The  slaughter  of  the  bobwhite  by  sportsmen  who 
hunt  for  pleasure  is  insignificant  in  comparison  with 
that  by  professional  market  hunters'.  At  the  present 
time  (1904),  in  about  twenty-five  States,  the  law  takes 
cognizance  of  this  fact  by  prohibiting  the  sale  of  birds 
killed  within  the  State  or  imported  from  other  States, 
and  the  general  tendency  altogether  to  prohibit  the 
sale  Is  growing  each  year.  "Every  State  except  Mis- 
sissippi forbids  the  sending  of  certain  game  outside 
the  Slate — a  restriction  on  the  sportsman  as  well  as 
the  market  hunter,  although  the  privilege  of  carrying 
home  a  limited  amount  of  game  is  often  granted  un- 
der  a  non-residept  license.  Fourteen  States  have  laws 
also    a  Erecting    both    classes,    limiting    a    day's    bag   to 


from  five  to  fifty  birds.  Many  sportsmen  and  farmer 
would  be  glad  if  the  limit  were  set  at  twelve.  Laws 
discriminating  against  non-residents  protect  the  game 
and  benefit  the  land  owner,  provided  visiting  sports- 
men are  not  barred  altogether  by  unreasonable  fees, 
Thirrty-one  States  and  Territories  require  non-resi-. 
dent  licenses  In  addition  to  State  game  laws  there 
are  certain  Federal  laws,  the  most  important  of  which 
is  the  Lacey  Act,  which  provides,  among  other  things, 
through  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  for  the  pre-  ■ 


■■;-: 
servation,  distribution,  introduction  and  restoration  off     ■#£ 

ame  birds,   and  also   undertakes  to  bring  to  justice* 
persons  who  transport  from  one  State  to  another  game 
killed    in   violation    of   local    laws.      The  latter    clause 
proves  effective  in  restircting  such   illegal  shipments 
and  in   suppressing  professional  dealers  that  kill  oul 
of  season  in  one  State  and  attempt  to  sell  in  anothe; 
where  the  season  is  still  open.    A  law  to  prevent  keep^ 
*ing  birds  in  cold  storage  from  one  season  to.  anothei 
would  stop  certain  loopholes  in  the  present  laws  an< 
greatly  aid  in  preserving  game.     An  effective  systei 
of  State. game  officials  where  it  is  lacking  would  ai> 
in  enforcing  game  laws.     A  number  of  States  depen 
solely   on   county  officers;  .but   experience   has   show: 
that  without  a  central  State  organization  and  speci 
game  wardens  the  law  to   a  great  extent  becomes 
dead  letter. 

Stringent  laws  against  trapping  the  bobwhite  have] 
been  enacted,  but  such  legislation  should  permit  legiti- 
mate trapping  for  purposes  of  propagation.  One  ofl 
the  most  important  problems  before  game  commis- 
sioners is  the  restocking  of  depleted  covers.  If,  how- 
ever, the  bobwhite  can  be  reared  successfully  In  cap-J 
tivity,  all  trapping  may  be  prohibited.  The  sporting 
magazines  (Forest  and  Stream  and  American  Field)-/ 
mention  cases  of  the  bird's  laying  in  captivity  and 
raising  its  young;  and  in  a  letter  to  the  writer,  dated 
September  2,  1904,  G.  W.  Jack,  of  Shreveport,  La./ 
says: 

"I  now  have  a  pair  of  quails  (bobwhites)  which  were 
trapped  last  winter  and  which  I  keep  in  a  large  wire 
coop.  They  have  made  a  nest  in  some  grass  anrjl 
have  laid  about  twelve  or  fifteen  eggs. 

"The  eggs  were  laid  very  irregularly,  not  more  than 
two  or  three  a  week,  so  that  by  the  time  the  nest 
was  full  the  season  was  far  advancd,  which  perhaps 
accounts  for  the  female  not  sitting.  The  eggs  were 
set  under  a  hen  and  proved  fertile,  but  the  youngi 
were  eaten  by  the  chicken  as  fast  as  they  hatched. 
I  concluded  that  this  irregularity  or  slowness  in  lay- 
ing was  the  result  of  the  lack  of  insect  and  other  egg- 
producing  food,  as  the  birds  subsist  almost  wholly 
on  grain.  Of  late,  however,  they  have  learned  to  eat 
with  much  relish  the  yolk  of  an  egg  hard  boiled." 

The  failure  of  the  female  to  sit  was  probably  due 
to  the   unnatural  confinement  in  so   small   a  space,  a 
difficulty  which  could  readily  be  remedied  if  attempt: 
to  raise  quail  were  made  on  a  large  scale.     Unque: 
tionally,  too,  it  would  be  necessary  to  feed  the  qua! 
at  least  during  the  nesting  period,   to  a  considerable 
extent  upon  animal  food.     An   instructive  account  o 
quail  breeding  in  confinement  appears  in  Forest  an 
Stream  for  September  38,   18S2    (p.  164).     The  femal 
had  been  hatched  and  reared  by  a  bantam  hen,  am 
this   circumstance   has   an    important   bearing   on    ex- 
periments of  this  kind.     It  is  altogether  probable  that 
bobwhites  hatched  and  reared  in  this  way  would  lend' 
themselves   to    experiments    in    propagation   far   more! 
readily  than  wild  birds  trapped  for  the  purpose. 

The  Department  of  Agriculture  obtained  three  pairs 
of  bobwhites  from  Kansas,  which  after  five  months' 
captivity  are  almost  as  wild  as  when  first  caged  and 
"show  no  sign  of  mating.  Experiments  in  the  domesti- 
cation of  bobwhites  are  well  worth  trying,  however, 
because  of  the  demand  from  clubs  and  individuals  for 
live  birds  to  restock  their  grounds.  So  great  has  be- 
come the  demand  in  recent  years  that  it  is  estimated 
that  200,000  birds  would  be  required  annually  to  fill 
the  supply,  even  at  $5  a  dozen,  and  sometimes  at  twice 
that  figure. 

Success  in  increasing  the  number  of  bobwhite  de- 
pends largely  on  controlling  its  natural  enemies,  which 
include  snakes,  foxes,  weasels,  minks,  skunks,  do- 
mestic cats  and  certain  hawks  and  owls.  Several 
species  of  snakes  eat  its  eggs  and  young.  Writing 
from  Texas,  Major  Bendire  says:  "The  many  large 
rattlesnakes  found  here  are  their  worst  enemies.  Onet 
killed  in  May  had  swallowed  five  of  these  birds  at  onej 
meal;  another  had  eaten  a  female,  evidently  caught  on 
her  nest,  and  half  a  dozen  of  her  eggs;  a  third  had 
taken  four  hobwhites  and  a  scaled  partridge."  In 
Mecklenburg  county,  V.,  the  king  snake  has  been? 
known  to  eat  a  clutch  of  eggs.  At  Fall  Church,  Va.,. 
Harvey  Riley  captured  a  black  snake  which  dis-' 
gourged  a  newly  hatched  bobwhite.  Reference  has 
been  made  already  to  the  marked  decrease  in  the  num- 
ber of  bobwhites  en  the  230-acre  farm  at  Marshall 
Hall,  from  fifty  odd  birds  in-  July  to  less  than  a  dozen 
in  December,  though  not  more  than  a  dozen  had  been 
shot.  This  decrease  was  probably  due,  at  least  in  part, 
to  gray  foxes;  for  in  August  and  September  these  ani~? 
mals  were  numerous,  and  often  came  after  the  chick- 
ens within  a  stone's  throw  of  the  farmhouse.  OtheR 
predaceous  mammals  and  birds  of  prey  were  not  nu- 
merous, but  foxes  frequently  were  seen  at  midday 
searching  through  pastures  where  there  were  broods* 
of  bobwhites.  It  must  be  easy  for  a  fox  to  extermi- 
nate a  whole  brood  of  newly  hatched  bobwhites,  anra 
no  difficult  task  to  catch  them,  even  when  threes 
fourths  grown.  Minks  and  weasels,  when  numerous, 
are  probably  'even  more  destructive  to  young  bob-' 
whites  than  to  domestic  poultry.  The  domestic  caw 
that  takes  to  foraging  in  woods  and  fields  is  also  a 
menace  and  should  be  shot  on  suspicion,  for  it  un- 
doubtedly preys  on  game  birds,  as  it  is  known  to  do 
on  song  birds  and  young  rabbits.

AMERICAN    FIELD   FUTURITY  STAKE, 
juch  interest  has  been  manifested  by  Coast  sports- 
[i  in  the  American  Field  Futurity  which  was  started 
h  week.    A  special  telegram  published  in  the  Amer- 
I    Field   gives   the    following   preliminary    proceed- 


ing 

Hie  First  American   Field   Futurity,    announced   to 
]n  on  Monday.  October  30,  at  Robinson,  111.,  made 
city  the  center  of  attraction  last  week  for  own- 
handlers    and    field    trial    patrons    generally.      By 
irday  most  of  the  handlers  with-  their  dogs  were 
S(ted  and  ready  for  the  word  to  start. 

r  several  days  heavy  rains  had  soaked  the  trial 
Bnds  to  such  an  extent  that  riding  over  the  mead- 
■vl  and  stubbles  meant  sinking  into  the  soft  earth 
nek  and  knee  deep.  This  condition  compelled  a 
■ponement  of  the  beginning  of  the  American  Field 
Bprity  for  a  few  days,  to  allow  the  grounds  to  dry 

■  Many  of  the  handlers,  however,  had  their  dogs 
Id  up  and  were  anxious  to  start,  notwithstanding 
^unfavorable  conditions. 

TJdges   Zell   Gaston   and   Dr.  E.   R.   Hickerson  gave 
.■matter  of  starting  serious  consideration,   it  being 
|r  earnest  desire  to  start  the  trials  at  the  earliest 
Bible  time. 
■ie  drawing  took  place  Sunday  night.     Just  before 

■  drawing  Judge  Gaston  addressed  the  assembled 
iners  and  handlers  as  follows: 

Bentlemen — The  American  Field  Futurity  is  about 
Ie  inaugurated,  and  I  know  that  the  management 
ijie  American  Field  regrets  as  much  as  we  do  the 
Bivorable  condition  of  the  grounds,  which  necessi- 
fls  a  postponement  of  the  trials  for  a  day  or  two. 
Mow,  too,  that  the  American  Field  desires  and  will 

■  that  everyone  shall  receive  the  fairest  treatment 

■  that  the  trials  shall  not  be  postponed  one  hour 
■e  than  is  necessary.  Therefore,  to-morrow  the 
B-es  and   the    management    of   the   American   Field 

■  go  over  the  trial  grounds,  and  if  it  is  at  all 
oible  to  start  Tuesday  morning  the  announcement 
I  be  made  to-morrow  night  and  all  advised  in  time. 
I,:e  grounds  cannot  be  worked  without  cutting  them 
ft oo  much,  then  the  Futurity  will  start  "Wednesday 
fining.  In  this  connection  I  wish  to  state  that  the 
Brican  Field  Futurity  is  not  an  event  of  to-day 
n.  It  is  a  great  stake,  and  the  future  must  be 
Led  into.  The  good-will  of  the  farmers,  over  wrhose 
fcs  trials  must  necessarily  be  run  is  something  to  be 
*  ished.  While  the  farmers  are  only  too  willing  to 
m>.  the  field  trials  on  their  lands,  they  object  serious- 
Ei  having  their  meadows  cut  up  by  riders  going  over 

■  l  when  in  the  present  condition.  The  American 
Hi  believes  that  farmers  are  the  sportsmen's  friends, 

■  desires   to   retain   this   friendship   for   the   future 

■  1  of  all  field  trials  in  this  community.  For  this 
Bon,  and  to  give  every  dog  an  absolutely  fair  trial, 

■  will,  as  before  stated,  go  over  the  grounds  to- 
ll row  and.  if  possible,  start  the  First  American  Field 
'!  irity  Auesday  morning." 

Boon  the  conclusion  of  Judge  Gaston's  address  all 
b  handlers  were  satisfied  that  the  postponement  for 
By  or  two  was  for  their  good  as  well  as  for  the  good 
if  ield  trial  interests,  and  expressed  hearty  accord 
Hi  the  judge's  sentiments,

nsidorable  comment  was  made  concerning  Major 
.  Taylor's  ability  to  keep  track  of  the  dogs  and 
work  at  the  recent  trials  up  north  and  the 
t's  eyesight,  in  consequence,  was  believed  to  be 
■what    deficient. 

■wever  that  may  be,  he  has  an  eagle  eye  from 
ck  shooters'  standpoint.  During  a  duck  hunting 
in  company  with  Captain  Ed  Swift  of  Seattle 
Sam  Foot,  a  hunters'  guide,  in  the  Da  Conner 
country,  the  major  outpointed  his  companions 
finish.  He  could  locate  flying  birds,  tell  what 
:ty  they  were  at  a  greater  distance  than  either 
ce  other  two.  and  they  are  both  experience  1  and 
id  duck  shooters.  The  major  is.  a  clever  shot  and 
what  a  thorough  duck  hunter  needs— a  long  dis- 
i    eye.

THE  ANGLERS'  JONAH. 

(By   Jas.   Watt.) 
Every  angler   has  a   grievance — 

When  the  water  isn't  right: 
When  the  dry  north  wind  is  blowing, 

I  in  the  sun  is  far  too  bright. 

Much  worse  than  these,  all  merged  in  one- 
Is    the   idiotic    crank 

Who   too   oft   is   found 

Upon  the  rippling  river's  bank. 

He   persists   in   fooling  round  you — 

If  in   a   boat   he'll   shine; 
Of  course  he  always  makes  a  point 

Of  running  o'er  your  line. 

Then  he  asked  annoying  questions — 
Concerning  many  kinds  of  bait. 

Whilst  your  ire  is  quickly  rising. 
And  your  soul  is  filled  with  hate. 


GOSSIP  FOR  SPORTSMEN. 

Duck    Hunting    Near   Rio   Vista. 

Some  good  bags  have  been  made  by  several  up  river 
sportsmen  during  the  past  week  on  the  preserves  in 
the  Rio  Vista  section,  and  if  reports  are  true  the  best 
record  was  made  by  Dr.  W.  S.  Makemson.  Charles 
Kearney  and  Claude  Kagee  on  the  Egbert  preserves, 
that  are  in  charge  of  Sam  Kirbly.  These  gentlemen 
visited  the  ponds  early  Tuesday  morning  and  Dr. 
Makemson  took  the  lead,  lacking  one  of  killing  the 
limit.  The  birds  were  mostly  mallard  drakes.  Charles 
Kearney  came  in  second  with  a  string  of  thirty  birds, 
nearly  all  canvasback,  and  reports  he  could  have  killed 
more  than  he  did  if  he  had  been  more  familiar  with 
the  mysteries  of  a  duck  boat.  There  has  been  a  sad 
look  in  Kagee's  eyes  since  the  eventful  morning,  as 
his  string  was  the  smallest  and  nearly  all  teal.  He 
feels  that  his  reputation  as  a  hunter  has  been  dealt 
a  severe  blow  by  Makemson  and  Kearney,  and  will 
some  day  take  them  out  and  lose  them  in  the  tules. 
It  has  been  hinted  that  the  large  strings  of  Makemson 
and  Kearney  was  the  result  of  an  exchange  of  cash 
from  these  gentlemen's  pockets  to  Kagee's.  but  this 
report  cannot  be  verified,  so  Kagee's  reputation-  as  a 
hunter  is  still  questioned.  Otto  Johnson  and  Murray 
Isham  report  good  shooting  on  the  Mallard  preserves 
and  showed  good  bags  of  ducks  as  a  result  of  a  recent 
visit.  H.  W.  Butler.  Frank  Wilson  and  S.  Kirby 
also  made  "a  good  shoot  on  the  Egbert  ponds  Sunday 
morning,  and  L.  Miller  of  the  Acme  Club  reports  a 
good  shoot  on  the  Tyron  ponds.  Ducks  and  geese  are 
still  plentiful  in  this  vicinity  and  good  shooting 
should  be  had  for  some  time  to  come. 

The  tule  sections  on  the  mainland  between  Rio  Vista 
and  Clarksburg,  a  district  covering  an  overflowed 
marsh  shooting  territory  twenty-five  miles  or  more 
in  length  and  varying  from  one  to  ten  miles  in 
width,  is  one  of  the  best  duck  shooting  territories  in 
this  state.  Distance  from  this  city  and  lack  of 
knowledge  of  the  topography  of  the  district  has  prob- 
ably been  the  principal  reasons  why  the  district  is 
not  visited  by  more  local  sportsmen.  It  is  extremely 
improbable,  however,  that  so  good  a  thing  will  long 
remain  overlooked  by  sportsmen. 


United   to    Kill    Dogs. 

A  dispatch  from  Seattle,  Wash.,  last  week,  states 
that  twenty-seven  hunting  dogs,  including  Deer- 
hounds,  Setters,  etc.,  have  been  killed  in  one  week 
by  the  ranchers  living  along  Hood's  canal.  All  were 
valuable.  The  killing  is  but  the  first  movement  in  a- 
campaign  planned  by  the  farmers  of  that  section  in 
an  effort  to  protect  their  rights  and  to  save  thei.' 
crops  from  devastation  and  ruin,  it  is  claimed. 

For  some  years  farmers  there  have  been  worried 
by  hunters,  who,  getting  upon  the  trail  of  a  deer, 
would  chase  the  animal  across  farms  and  through 
fields,  regardless  of  the  damage  done.  They  have 
been  warned  time  and  again,  but  the  warnings,  even 
the  printed  and  posted  ones,  have  had  little  apparent 
effect. 

The  farmers  held  a  big  meeting  two  wreeks  ago  to 
discuss  the  best  ways  of  preventing  hunters  from 
running  over  their  cultivated  property,  {ind  the  above 
record  is  the  work  of  the  committee  appointed  at  that 
time. 

The  farmers  and  ranchers  in  the  vicinity  of  Seattle 
have  had  the  reputation  for  several  years  past  of 
holding  a  deadly  animosity  against  the  dogs  of  sports- 
men and  hunters  that  were  used  in  that  section  of 
country.  Whatever  their  grievances  against  the  dogs 
and  their  owners,  the  remedy  is  a  cruel  and  illegal 
one  For  any  and  all  damage  done  the  trespasser  is 
amenable,  either  by  ;i  civil  damage  suit  or  a  criminal 
prosecution. 

It  does  not  reflect  any  credit  upon  a  community. 
in  lividually  or  collectively,  when  illegal,  and  perforce 
cowardly  methods,  of  relief  are  taken  against  dumb 
animals. 


What    Do   You    Know   of  the  Quail? 

If  the  average  hunter  will  carefully  read  "The 
Bob  White  and  Other  Quails  of  the  United  States 
in  Their  Economic  Relations,"  the  work  of  Sylvester 
D.  Judd.  assistant,  Biological  Survey,  United  states 
Department  of  Agriculture,  he  will  no  doubt  be  sur- 
prised  in  ascertain  how  limited  is  the  general  knowl- 

concerning  this  dainty  and  popular  Ann  i 
game  bird,  if  every  farmer  in  the  United  States 
could  he  Induced  to  read  this  latest  bulletin  il  is  safe 
in  say  the  quail  would  receive  better  care  through 
the  cold  winter  months  at  the  h is  of  the  agricul- 
turists. The  farmer  cm  well  afford  to  feed  and  care 
for  bob  white  in  winter.  It  would  only  lie  a  return 
for  past  kindnesses.  In  summer  and  lull  the  quail 
rids  III'1  farmer's  place  of  injurious  insects  and  worms.

DOINGS    IN    DOGDOM. 


Striped    Bass   Club  Outing. 

A  strong  delegation  of  San  Francisco  Striped  Bass 
Club  members  enjoyed  a  very  pleasant  outing  near 
Rodeo  last  Sunday.  The  anglers  fished  for  striped 
bass  from  the  shore,  at  a  spot  known  as  Dolliver's 
Point.  Luck  was  indifferent,  for  the  fish  were  either 
coy  or  absent,  Nat  Mead's  three-pounder  was  high 
hook  for  the  day. 

Chef  Breidenstein's  toothsome  clam  chowder  made 
the  anglers  callous  to  the  biggest  fish  in  San  Pablo 
bay.

Shrimp    Law    Upheld. 

A  recent  decision  of  the  California  Supreme  Court 
sustains  the  law,  passed  at  the  last  session  of  the 
legislature,  prohibiting  the  exportation  of  shrimps 
from  this  state  to  foreign  countries. 

The  Chinese  shrimp  fishermen  combined  and  se- 
cured the  aid  of  legal  talent  to  test  the  constitional- 
ity  of  the  act.  The  case  was  strenuously  fought 
through  all  he  courts  with  the  final  result  that  the 
embargo  on  shrimp  extermination  by  the  Mongolian 
bay  pirates  will  remain  force.

FOREIGN    GAME    LOCUSTS. 


Fresno    Game   Warden's    Report. 

Game  Warden  R.  E.  L.  Cobb  of  Fresno  county  g.ves 
the  following  report  of  fish  and  game  conditions  in 
his  district   for   the  past  quarter: 

••During  August.  September  and  October  I  went 
over  the  principal  parts  of  the  county  where  there  are 
fish  and  game.  I  have  been  through  both  ranges  of 
mountains.  In  the  Coast  range  quail  are  plentiful, 
and  also  quite  a  few  deer.  As  for  fish,  there  are  none 
on  account  of  the  lack  of  water.  In  the  other  moun-  - 
tains  I  found  a  good  hatch  of  quail  and  grouse,  but 
the  deer  seem  to  be  decreasing  very  fast.  I  found 
the  first  to  be  scarce,  though  water  was  plentiful. 
If  fish  are  to  be  planted  in  the  streams  we  should  have 
a  hatcherv  on  account  of  the  distance  of  the  streams 
from  any  shipping  point.  In  the  valley  things  are  in 
good  condition. 

"I  find  that  the  fish  ladder  at  Miller's  dam  is  not 
running  any  water  to  speak  of  and  the  fish  cannot 
go  up.  All  the  fish  hatched  that  try  to  reach  sal- 
water  are  going  out  in  the  ditches  as  all  of  the  water 
is  going  that  way  now.  In  my  judgment  there  shocii 
hannel  cut  around  the  dam  for  the  use  of  the 
fish  instead  of  the  wooden  ladder,  and  then  no  matter 
how  Low  the  water  gets  the  fish  could  come  and  go 
freely. 

-While  a  good  many  ducks  were  hatched,  they  are 
getting  scarce,  as  there  has  been  no  cold  weather  to 
bring  northern  ducks  this   way. 

"Two  men  were  arrested  for  seining  and  one  for 
killing  quail  out  of  season.  Jack  Roads  and  L.  Rogers 
were  examined  before  A.  G.  Smith  of  Laton  and  were 
dismissed  on  the  motion  of  the  deputy  district  attor- 
ney. Ed  Daulton  was  fined  $25  by  Judge  Beall  for 
killing  quail." 


The  one  urgent  need  for  the  protection  of  game  and 
fish  in  this  state  is  the  curbing  of  the  foreign  man 
behind  the  gun.  These  foreigners  are  mainly  Italians 
and  Japs. 

Many  of  the  Italians  are  laborers,  with  no  fixed 
residence.  These  fellows  generally  have  a  cheap  ham- 
mer breech-loading  gun,  use  black  pow-der  and  brass 
shells.  Some  of  them  use  cheap  double  barreled  muz- 
zle loading  guns,  thus  making  a  slight  saving  in  the 
cost  of  ammunition.  The  Jap.  as  a  rule,  will  buy 
a  fairly  good  grade  of  gun.  The  little  brown  men 
are  mostly  all  contract  laborers,  unreliable  at  that. 

Both  varieties  of  these  human  locusts  are  equally 
expert  in  their  persistent  and  systematic  work  of  ex- 
terminating game  and  fish,  by  poaching  all  the  year 
round.  Anything  and  everything  with  feathers  is 
game  for  these  vandals;  in  fact  the  "Dago"  depends 
upon  the  gun  for  most  of  his  meat.  In  the  agricul- 
tural and  fruit  growing  districts  these  foreigners  do 
their  own  cooking,  etc.  They  work  for  comparatively 
small  pay  and  their  expenditures  in  any  community 
that  is  unfortunately  burdened  with  their  presence 
are  correspondingly  limited.  The  Japs,  for  instance, 
employed  in  the  Belmont  and  San  Mateo  marshes  take 
their  guns  with  them  daily  for  the  purpose  of  potting 
any  bird  or  edible  animal  that  they  can  bring  down. 
When  it  is  known  that  thousands  of  these  locusts 
are  carrying  on  this  nefarious  warfare  on  game  and 
song  birds  the  year  round,  it  will  readily  be  under- 
stood that  the  amount  of  damage  is  of  no  small  degree. 
As  they  ravage  the  fields,  so  do  they  with  equa. 
diabolical  success  deplete  the  streams  and  bay  tribu- 
tary waters.  There  used  to  be  a  hue  and  cry  raised 
in  the  State  against  the  Chinaman,  but  whatever  his 
shortcomings,  viewed  from  a  Caucasian  standpoint, 
the  Chink  had  one  redeeming  virtue,  he  was  not  a 
poacher,  save  possibly  in  a  few  instances. 

A  case  in  point  is  the  territory  round  about  Isleton, 
Sacramento  county.  Years  ago  Andrus  island, 
Twitchell  island  and  the  adjacent  country  afforded 
most  excellent  duck,  snipe  and  quail  shooting  in  sea- 
son. The  hunting  was  enjoyed  by  many  of  the  sports- 
men, young  and  old,  of  that  district.  Since  the  advent 
of  the  Italians  and  Japanese  employed  by  the  fruit 
growers,  truck  farmers  and  dairymen,  the  feathered 
game  of  that  once  prolific  region  has  seemingly  melted 
away  under  the  blighting  presence  of  these  locusts, 
until  now  there  is  but  a  paltry  showing  of  feathers 
for  the  incensed  sportsmen  of  that  section.  Instances 
are  recounted  where  hen  quails  have  been  potted  and 
the  chicks  left  to  perish.  The  fish — striped  and  black 
bass,  perch,  catfish  and  several  other  varieties — have 
also  received  the  deadly  attention  of  these  foreigners, 
so  much  so  that  a  growing  scarcity  has  become  sud- 
denly  noticeable. 

Isleton  is  the  center  of  a  wealthy  farming  and  dairy- 
ing community,  it  has  two  large  hotels  always  full  of 
traveling  men  and  visiting  country  residents,  a  bfink 
and  large  stores,  and  is  what  is  known  as  a  "lively 
river  town."  The  Japs  and  Dagoes  are  not  contribu 
tors,  in  anything  but  a  small  way,  to  the  general  busi- 
ness prosperity.  Unfortunately,  these  foreigners  are 
regarded  as  a  necessary  evil,  they  being  about  the 
only  material  procurable  for  the  purposes  for  which 
they  are  employed.  It  would  be  far  better  if  the  fish 
and  game  of  the  region  were  properly  protected  for 
the  sport  of  legitimate  sportsmen  than  for  the  feeding 
of  non-producing  and  non-resident' foreigners.  Sports- 
men pay  liberally,  directly  and  indirectly,  for  their 
outings,  and  observe  the  game  laws;  the  locusts  do 
not. 

The  general   feeling  of  indignation   and   resentment 
of    many    individuals    in    that    section    is    so    strong 
against    the    game   law    violators    referred    to    that    it 
Striped    Bass   Angling.  w\\]  not  be  surprising  if  an  example  were  to  be  made

A    Ladies'    Kennel   Association. 

A  ladies'  kennel  association  here  would  no  c 
be  a  very  nice  thing  for  dogdom,  but  all  that 
will  materialize  anent  a  ladies'  kennel  associate 
San  Francisco  is  rumor,  nothing  but  idle  rurao 
all  events  for  some  time  to  come.  The  mixing  q 
ties  are  not  in  the  brewing;  it  was  attempted 
before  and  proved  a  dismal  failure. 

An  exclusive  club  could  have  but  a  comparai 
small  membership.  A  show  would  have  a  corresi 
ing  small  entry,  for  the  simple  reason  that  thosi 
yond  the  pale  of  membership  would  not  exhibit, 
published  story  going  the  rounds  is  merely  guff. 


Hunting    Conditions. 

The  continuance  of  the  dry  weather  has  changed

year,  up  to  November  10th,  the  rainfall  amounted  to 
twelve  inches;  this  season,  not  a  drop  of  rain  has 
fallen,  save  in  a  very  fewr  interior  localities.  The 
ponds  on  many  preserves  are  dry  and  untenanted  by 
ducks.  As  the  lack  of  water  affects  duck  hunting 
SO  does  it  also  make  unfavorable  conditions  against 
the  quail   hunter. 

Despite  the  dryness  and  general  need  of  rain,  many 
sportsmen  manage  to  enjoy  fair  sport.  The  best  duck

Treatment   of   Mange. 

In    an    interesting    article    on    mange    in    dogs 

London  Field  says  that  genuine  disorder  is  assoe 

with    dirt    and   neglect,    and   when    it   appears  ii 

domestic  pet  dog  or  in  the  well  managed  kennel 

always  a  safe  conclusion  that  the  outbreak  is  d 

accidental    infection    from    contact    with    an    ai 

affected  with  the  malady  or  with  something  on  t 

the  parasite  or  its  eggs  have  found  a  refuge.     3! 

ment  of  mange  is  by  no  .means   easy,  as  its  su 

depends   on    the    remedy   reaching   the   acari   inT 

habitats  under  the   cuticle  into   the   fibrous   stru 

of  the  true  skin,  and  in  advanced  forms  of  t 

order  it  is  necessary  to  prepare  the  skin  for  the 

by   thoroughly    washing   with    warm    water    a 

soap,  and  the  careful  removal  of  all  hard  scabs 

erous  forms  of  dressing  are  recommended  by  d 

ent  experts,  but  it  is  generally  allowed  that  the  J 

tion  of  the  dressing  is  not  of  so  much  moment^ 

method  of  its  application.     One  thorough   dressi 

likely  to  do  more  good  than  a  dozen  of  a  perfun 

kind.     A  very  favorite   dressing  for  a  horse  afl 

with   mange   was   composed   of  equal   parts   of 

tar,  train  oil  and  turpentine,  but  the  mixture  w 

unpleasant  in   its  appearance   and  smell   that  it 

was    mainly    confined    to    the    coarser   breed 

working  establishments,  and  it  was  not  ccnsidei 

be  safe  for  dogs,  owing  to  the  extreme  suscepti 

of  the  animal's  skin  to  the  action  of  turpentin; 

It  was  only  by  chance  that  it  was  ascertained 

the  preparation  might  be  safely  used  for  dogs; 

withstanding   its   bad   reputation,   a   well   known 

erinary  surgeon  many  years  ago  was  in  the  ha 

using  it,  and  affirmed  in  public  that  he  never 

the    least   injury,    but    on    the    contrary,    the    gr 

benefit  from  its  use  in  skin  disease  of  a  serious 

in  the   dog,   and   sarcoptic  mange  among  them. 

offensive  qualities  of  the  mixture  would  certainlj 

der   its   use   impossible   in    a   house,   but   in   any 

of  mange  of  so  severe  a  character  the  obvious  ( 

would  be  to  send  the  animal  to  a  veterinary  infir 

Probably  in  the  early  stage  of  the  disease  there 

better    dressing    than    a    mixture   of   flour    of   si 

with   sweet   oil,   to   form    a    creamy   fluid,    which 

be  applied  without  any  risk  to  the  animal,  whic 

probably  lick  it.     In  very  bad  cases  it  is  advisei 

long-haired  dogs  should  be  completely  shorn,  si 

the  remedy,  whatever  it  may  be,  may  have  a  c 

of  penetrating  into   the  galleries  which  the  par 

have    made.      Gerlach    recommends,    as    a    rerae 

preparation  which  would  commend  itself  to  the 

ers   of   pet   dogs,    on   account    of   the   odor   of  t 

which  it  exhales.     It  is  simply  a  solution  of  th 

sam    of   Peru    in    spirit,    one    part    of    the    balsi 

30  of  the  spirit,  which  will  be  applied  to  all  th 

eased  parts  of  the  skin.     Among  the  remedies 

may  be  looked  upon  as  domestic  applications,  i 

bolic   soap,    the   strength   of  which   may  vary  f 

to  20  per  cent  of  the  carbolic  acid,  according 

severity   of  the   disease.     The  affected   parts  r 

moistened  in   the  first  place  and  the  soap  rubt 

before    the    animal    is    placed    in    the    bath,    in 

the  soap  must  be  thoroughly  washed  off.     It  m 

understood  that  the.. strongest  admixture,  from 

cent    and    above,    if   allowed    to    remain    on    th< 

may  do  serious  mischief.

TO     KEEP    MILK    SWEET. 


Mr.  W.  J.  Frazer  of  the  Illinois  Ex- 
periment Station,  gives  the  following 
suggestions  as  to  how  to  secure  milk 
from  your  own  cows  that  will  keep 
sweet  for  a  reasonable  length  of  time: 

"Keep  the  cows  clean,  and  do  not 
compel  or  allow  them  to  wade  and  live 
in  filth.  This  means  clean  yards  and 
clean  well  bedded  stalls.  Every  thing 
short  of  this  is  positively  repulsive  and 
should  not  be  tolerated  any  longer  in  a 
civilized    country. 

"Stop*the  filthy  habit  known  as  the 
wetting  of  teats,  by  which  is  meant 
the  drawing  of  a  little  milk  into  the 
hands  with  which  to  wet  the  teats  bb~ 
fore  and  during  milking,  leaving  the  ex- 
cess of  filthy  milk  to  drop  from  the 
hands  and  teats  into  the  pail. 

"Wash  all  utensils  clean  by  first  us- 
ing lukewarm  water  afterwards  wash- 
ing in  warm  water  and  rinsing  in  an 
abundance  of  boiling  water  then  ex- 
posing until  the  next  using  in  direct 
sunlight  which  is  a  good  sterilizer. 

"Use  milk  -pails,  cans,  etc.,  for  no  oth- 
er purpose  but  to  hold  milk. 

"Xveep  out  of  these  utensils  all  sour 
or  tainted  milk  even  after  they  have 
been  used  for  the  day.  Using  them 
for  this  purpose  at  any  time  infecU, 
them  so  badly  that  no  amount  of 
washing  is  likely  to  clean  them.  Bac- 
teria are  invisible  and  millions  can  find 
lodging  in  the  thin  'film  of  moisture 
that  remains  after  dishes  are  apparent- 
ly clean. 

'■Brush  down  the  cobwebs  and  keep 
the  barm  free  from  accumulations  of 
dust   and   trash. 

"Whitewash  the  barn  at  least  once  a 
year." 

The  reasons  for  the  above  sugges- 
tions are  as  follows:  All  soured  milk 
is  due  to  the  presence  of  germs.  These 
"are  abundant  in  every  stable;  more  so 
in  a  dark  stable  than  in  one  well  ven- 
tilated, for  the  reason  that  sunlight 
kills  the  germs;  more  abundant  in  a 
filthy  stable  than  in  a  clean  one.  They 
are  found  on  the  udder  of  a  cow  and 
on  the  hair.  They  are  found  in  the 
teat  itself,  where  they  establish  them- 
selves in  little  colonies.  Hence  when 
the  farmer  milks  on  his  hands  and  wets 
the  teats  he  is  not  only  getting  a  col- 
ony of  germs  in  the  milk  started  but  he 
gets  with  it  a  solution  of  whatever 
filth  there  may  be  on  the  teats.  The 
■  very  first  milk  should  be  milked  on  the 
ground  and  not  in  the  pail.  Wash  the 
germs  out  of  the  teats  by  two  or  three 
motions,  letting  these  go  on  the  floor. 
Germs  harbor  in  the  pails,  hence  the 
necessity  for  absolute  cleanliness.  A 
pail  that  held  sour  milk  will  be  admir- 
ably stocked  with  germs,  which  even 
warm  water  cannot  remove  immediate- 
ly. 


Give  horses  a  variety  of  food.  While 
oats  will  continue  to  be  a  standard 
food  for  horses,  yet  a  small  allowance 
of  linseed  meal  and  corn  fodder  will 
also  be  relished  and  give  excellent  re- 
sults. 


Castor  oil  well  rubbed  in  twice  daily 
for  a  week  will  remove  warts  on  cattle. 
The  animals  suffer  no  pain.  Try 
it.

lar i 

A    dairyman    whose    farm    has    been 
iyed   for  that   purpose   by   a   rail- 
lately  told  me  he  thought  of  buy- 
a    small    Hock    of    breeding    ewes 
and  wanted  my  opinion  as  to  the  best 
whether  he  had  better  try  one 
of  the  mutton  breeds  or  one  of  the  fine 
wool    class.      He     said    he     wanted     to 
early    lambs    for   market.     I   ad- 
vised   him    to    get.     if    possible,     good, 
large,  smooth  grade   Merino  ewes,  and 
for  a  sire  use  a   full  blood   Shropshire 
ram.      I    advised    Merino    ewes.      First, 
because  they  can  be  bred  earlier:   sec- 
ond,   because     they     are    hardier,    less 
liable   to   disease:    third,   because   they 
shear  more  wool;   fourth,  because  they 
require  less  range  and  less  feed;   fifth, 
because  they  live  to  a  greater  age. 

1   have  known  a  good   many  men   to 
change   from    Merinos   to   some   of   the 
mutton   breeds  and  I  never  knew   one 
yet   who   didn't   regret   it.      One  of   my 
neighbors    who    made    such    a    change 
said  to  me:      "Those  coarse  sheep  are 
starving   to    death   on   my   woods   pas- 
ture right  where  my  Merinos  kept  fat: 
about  four  out  of  five  have  the  scours 
all    the    lime.       Besides,     after     every 
storm,  they  have  a  bad  spell  of  catarrh 
and    snuffles,    and    I   just    everlastingly 
never   can    keep    them   clear   of    ticks." 
trouble  with  this  man  was  that  he 
had   been   used     to    handling    Merinos. 
and    the    methods     that     succeed     with 
them  will  not  do  at  all  with  the  mut- 
ton   breeds.      They    must    be    kept    in 
smaller  flocks  and   they  recruire   closer 
attention    and    more    generous    feed.     I 
have    known    men    to    do    well    with    a 
small  flock  of  coarse  sheep,  but  I  have 
known      two       breeders       to      dispose 
of     their     whole     flocks     because    they 
became      so      infested      with      stomacii 
worms   as    to   be   practically   worthless. 
The  prices  of  both  mutton  and  wool 
have  been  unusually  good  for  the  last 
year  and  many  who  have  had  no  sheep 
for  years   are   thinking  seriously   of  in- 
ihg  in  a  small  flock.     I  believe  that 
they  will   do  better  with  sheep   of  the 
Merino  class  than  with  any  of  those  of 
the  mutton  breeds.     Especially  if  they 
have  had  little  experience  in  handling 
sheep.     The  Merinos  are  so  much  bet- 
ter   able    to    take    care    of    themselves. 
And  while  they  will  stand  a  good  deal 
of    hard    treatment    and    neglect    they 
respond    readily     to     skillful     handling 
and  generous  care.     The  most  success- 
ful   business   men   make    it   a  point    to 
buy    when     things    are    low    and    sell 
when  they  are  high.    According  to  that 
maxim  it  is  bad  business  to  buy  sheep 
at  this  time.     No  doubt  there  are  men 
who   will    rush    into   the   business   now, 
and  then  become  disgusted  and  go  out 
when    the    first    season     of     depression 
This    practice    can.    of    course, 
only    result    in    serious    loss.        I    have 
strong    and    abiding    faith    in 
sheep,    and    I    don't    hesitate   at    all    to 
advise   a   man   who   has   none,   to  buy  t. 
lew  good  breeding  ewes  with  which  to 
start  a  nock.     And  having  embarked  in 
the   business,    stay    right    by    it.      Give 
the   flock   good   care  and   they  will   re- 
ly  than  any  other 
stock.

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

WERE  THESE  TWO  CASES  WORTH  THE 
COST  OF  TREATMENT? 

Brooklyn,  N.Y. 

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

Id  August  I  had  a  mare  with  an  ankle  cocked 
from  a  bad  wrench  in  a  race.  It  was  so  bad  I  had 
concluded  to  shoot  her,  but  was  persuaded  to 
breed  her  and  turn  her  out.  I  bred  her,  but  in- 
stead of  turning  her  out  used  your  "oave-the- 
Horse."  In  three  weeks  I  was  more  than  sur- 
prised to  see  the  swelling  disappear,  and  the 
remedy  produced  a  complete  cure  She  is  as 
good  as  ever.  I  have  raced  her  since  and  drive 
her  any  distance  without  aDy  sign  of  lameness. 
I  cannot  say  too  much  for  your  remedv.

DAN  PATCH  BROKE  ANOTHER  RECORD  at 
emphis  last  Saturday.  For  some  time  past  his 
vner,  Mr.  M.  W.  Savage  of  Minneapolis,  has  had  his 


THE  GRIEVANCE  CF  JOHN  GILMER  SPEED 
has  been  printed  in  book  form  by  McClure,  Phillips 
&  Co.  of  New  York,  under  the  title  "The  Horse  in 
America."  Mr.  Speed's  particular  grievance,  which  he 
airs  to  the  fullest  extent  in  this  volume,  is  the  Ameri- 
can trotting  horse,  and  he  attacks  it  with  all  the 
fierceness  and  nearly  as  much  judgment  as  Don 
Quixote  displayed  when  making  his  famous  onslaught 
against  the  windmill.  I  have  read  Mr.  Speed's  work 
from  cover  to  cover  and  can  not  rid  myself  of  the  idea 
that  it  has  been  prepared  as  a  brief  to  advocate  the 


;aft  set  on  lowering  the  record  made  by  sta^Pojn^^    purchase  of  Mr.  Randolph  Huntington's  stock  of  Clay- 
Arabian    horses    by    the    United    States    Government.

1897,  when  that  grand  stallion  paced  the  Readville 
,'ack  in  1:59%  without  a  runner  or  a  wind  shield  in 
iont.  the  horse  accompanying  the  son  of  Brown  Hal 
■ing  at  his  side  or  behind  him  during  the  entire  mile, 
.or  eight  years  this  record  of  Star  Pointer's  has  re- 
gained the  fastest  for  a  harness  horse  at  that  way  of 
;>ing.  Several  times  this  year  Dan  Patch  had  tried 
,  lower  it,  but  until  last  Saturday  the  best  he  could 
'  was  to  equal  it.  Mr.  Savage  kept  Dan  at  Mem- 
-iis,  however,  and  waited  for  a  favorable  time  which 
as  offered  Saturday.  Conditions  were  ideal,  there 
jing  no  wind  to  speak  of  and  the  temperature  and 
■ack  being  just  right  for  a  horse  that  was  to  be 
■nt  against  a  world's  record.  It  has  been  the  opinion 
!  horsemen  that  when  all  the  conditions  were  right 
le  mighty  Dan  Patch  would  be  able  to  pace  a  mile 
?tter  than  1:59%  out  by  himself,  his  record  of  1:5514 
a  runner  in  front  leading  to  this  conclusion, 
few  thought  he  would  be  able  to  clip  a  second 


DI 


The  frequent  statement  made  in  the  volume  that  it 
is  a  great  pity  the  Government  has  not  taken  over  all 
of  Mr.  Huntington's  horses  "so  as  to  perpetuate  this 
new  and  useful  type"  is  my  reason  for  classifying  this 
work  as  a  brief.  The  frequent  assertion  that  there  is 
a  large  demand  for  the  type  of  horses  Mr.  Hunting- 
ton has  been  breeding;  coupled  with  the  further  state- 
ment made  on  page  145  that  Mr.  Huntington  "pro- 
duces with  an  absolute  certainty"  two  classes  of  as 
admirable  horses  as  Mr.  Speed  has  ever  seen,  would 
cause  the  average  man  to  wonder  why  Mr.  Hunting- 
ton should  not  be  able  to  endow  a  farm  to  perpetuate 
this  wonderful  breed  of  horses,  and  immortalize  his 
name,  with  the  money  received  from  the  annual  sales 
of. his  stock.  Surely  a  man  who  can  produce  "the 
highest  type  of  horse"'  with  "absolute  certainty"  need 
not  appeal  to  anybody,  not  even  a  government,  for 
pecuniary  assistance.  Mr.  Speed's  book,  reads  in  many 
a  quarter  from  Star  Pointer's  time,  but  he  man-     otner  ways  like  the  argument  of  a  lawyer  in   a  bad 

Case— he  abuses  the  other  side.  His  scoffing  at  the 
evidence  on  which  the  breeding  of  Hambletonian  10 
is -established,  and  his  blind  acceptance  as  eternal 
truth  of  evidence  not  half  as  authentic,  but  which 
he  claims  settles  the  breeding  of  other  horses,  makes 
it  bear  these  ear  marks.  The  best  parts  of  Mr. 
Speed's  volume  are  those  in  quotation  marks.     There

5ed  to  accomplish  this  wonderful  feat,  although  the 
patches  report  that  he  was  very  tired  at  the  finish, 
e  was    driven    by   Hersey   who    cerainly    should    be 
pen  credit' for  being  one  of  the  best  trainers,   con- 
tioners  and  drivers  in  the  country,  as  he  has  handi- 
ly Dan  Patch  in  a  manner  that  reflects  nothing  but 
Ijredit  on  his  abilities.     The  first  quarter  of  this  last 
nd  most  wonderful   performance  of  Dan  Patch  was     are  several   accounts   of   old   time   races   copied   fron,, 


lade  in  30  seconds',  the  second  in  29  seconds,  the 
ih-d  in  29,  and  the  fourth  in  30  seconds.  He  was  ac- 
jmpanied  by  two  runners,  but  neither  was  permitted 
o  race  in  front  of  him  any.  part  of  the  mile.  He  was 
red  at  the  finish,  but  within  twenty  minutes  after 
uld  have  repeated  his  performance.  Dan  Patch  now 
s  about  every  world's  record  for  a  pacing  horse. 


early  writers  on  turf  matters  that  are  very  interesting. 
While  the  volume  costs  a  dollar  and  a  half,  I  advise 
every  man  who  can  spare  the  money  to  purchase  and 
read  it.  After  doing  this  get  the  issue  of  the  American 
Horse  Breeder  of  October  IT,  and  read  Arthur  Caton 
Thomas's  review  of  it.  esnecially  that  portion  of  it 
which  deals  with  the  Arabian  horses  that  Mr.  Speed 
calls  the  Nejdee.  It  is  about  the  most  entertaining 
thing  in  contemporary  horse  literature.    Mr.  Thomas's 

to  make  Mr. 
Speed's  book  one  of  rare  humor,  and  it  has  accom- 
plished this  to  a  certainty. 


ROSE  DALE  STOCK  FARM  SALE. 


MANY  PERSONS  ARE  AFFLICTED  with  a  craze 
||>r  riding  at  a  high  rate  of  speed  at  any  place  and  at     criticism    was    the    only    thing    needed 
r^rvy   time    that    suits    their    convenience,    no    matter 

hether  it  interferes  with  the  rights  or  convenience 

C  others.      Some   of  these   people   drive    horses,   and 

thers  ride  in  automobiles,  but  they  are  all   of   that 
,iass  who   have-  little   or   no   respect   for   law   or    the 

jmfort  of  their  fellows.     If  they  feel  like  riding  at  a 

igh   rate  of  speed,   it   makes   no   difference   to   them 

hether  they  are  on  a  country  road  or  a  crowded  c.ty 
,  loroughfare,  the  horse  is  put  to  his  limit  or  the 
'    irottle  of  the  machine  is  pulled  wide  open  and  they 

ash  wildly  in  the  direction  they  wish  to  go  without 

iring  a  continental  whether  there  is  anybody  or  any- 
,-iing  in  their  path.     "Get  out  of  the  way  or  get  run 

ver"   is   their    command,    and   happily   for   them   the 

lajority'of  people  give  them  the  road  and  only  utter 
I  mild  protest.     There   should  be  a  united   effort  on 

le  part  of  all  citizens  to  see  that  the  laws  limiting 

le  speed  of  vehicles  on  public  roads  is  strictly  en- 

1  'weed.     There  are  race  tracks  and  other  places  where 

nose  who  desire  to  test  the  speed  of  their  horses  or 

'ehicles  can  indulge  in  the  sport  to  their  hearts'  con- 

•nt,  but  the  public  thoroughfares  are  not  the  places 

>r  racing.     Magistrates   can  do  no  better  service   to 

^eir  constituents  than  making  the  fine  for  exceeding 
J  i ie  speed  limits  a  heavy  one  in  every  instance.     There

A  very  large  crowd  filled  the  Chase  Pavilion  at  1732 
.Market  street  last  Tuesday  evening  on  the  occasion 
of  the  Rose  Dale  Stock  Farm  sale.  There  were  a

The  officials  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony  Racing 
Association  have  come  to  the  aid  of  another  worthy 
charity.  They  gave  a  successful  meet  recently  at  San 
Mateo  for  the  Armitage  Orphanage  and  are  now  pre- 
paring one  for  the  benefit  of  the  Youths'  Directory, 
to  be  held  at  Ingleside  race  course.  The  directory 
receives  neither  city,  county  nor  State  aid,  but  de- 
pends for  support  on  voluntary  contributions.  The 
races  will  all  be  interesting  and  will  present  the  sport 
in  its  highest  class. 

The  feature  of  the  first  day's  card  will  be  the 
return  match  at  half  a  mile  between  Rudolph  Spreck- 
els'  Ulctma  and  Charles  W.  Clark's  Midlove.  On  the 
second  day  the  features  will  be  the  race  for  ponies 
nominated  by  ladies.  The  nominator  of  the  winner 
will  receive  a  gold  bracelet  and  the  nominator  of  the 
second  a  gold  brooch.  The  rider  of  the  winner  will 
receive  a  silver  cup,  while  the  last  man  in  will  be 
rewarded  with  an  alarm  clock.  The  list  of  events 
follows:

The  last  mail  from  Australia  brought  the  news  that 
the  Allendale  Stock  Farm  Company  of  Melbourne 
has  suffered  a  great  loss  through  the  mare  Edna 
Patch  by  Dan  Patch  1:55%  slipping  her  foal  by  Star 
Pointer  l:59Vi-  This  mare  was  purchased  this  year 
in  America  and  shipped  to  Australia,  and  had  the 
foal  lived  it  would  probably  have  been  the  only  one 
in  Australia  that  inherited  two-minute  speed  from 
both  sire  and  dam.

GOOD    ENTRY    LIST   FOR   PHOENIX    MEETING. 


Phoenix,  Arizona,  Nov.  11.  1905. 

ler    and    Sportsman — I    enclose    list    of    entries 

■I    to   our  stakes,   which   closed   on   the   1st   inst. 

nk  it  makes  a  pretty  good  showing  for  a  new 

■     ■  |  artii  i.     p]y  lucky  in  the  number 

■and    class    of   entries    to    our    free-for-all    pace.      The 

Los  Angeles  Association   received  four  entries  to  this 

cl  as  we  received  twelve,  a    possible  nine  of 

which  can  start.     In  su'i       a    fin<     list,  we  have 

;    '  3    pacers,   thus 

Ag    the    free-for-all    pacers    an    opportunity    to 

ring  the  week. 
:  22  and  2:10  trots  failed  to  fill    and  they  have 
red    off.      We    have  aged  the   2:25 

trot  to  a  2:24  class,  and  the  :.:):,  trot  to  a  2.14  class. 
You  will  also  notice  from  the  ram  for  purses, 

which  close  on  the  23d,  that  we  have  made  some 
slight  changes  In  the  order  of  races — the  changes  be- 
ing designed  to  give  those  desiring  to  start  their 
■  during  the  week  t  little  more  time  be- 
tween races. 


Everything  at  our  grounds  is  progressing  rapidly 
to  completion,  and  our  tracks  are  getting  to  a  feather 
edge.  AH  the  trainers  working  here  agree  that  our 
mile  track  will  compare  very  favorably  with  the  best 
in  the  country,  and  that  by  the  time  our  meeting 
opens  our  track  will  be  as  fast  as  the  fastest.  There 
are  over  sixty  horses  now  on  the  grounds,  and  we  are 
rushing  the  work  on  sixty  extra  stalls,  which  will  be 
ready  in  a  few  days.  The  horses  are  being  edged  up 
a  little,  and  there  were  quite  a  number  of  miles  well 
2 :  15  this  week.  Florence  Wilton  has  paced  a 
mile  in  2:09%.  and  Billings,  Col.  Green's  three-year 
old,  has  paced  one  in  2:11%.  A  farmer  from  out  in 
the  country  made  the  boys  open  their  eyes  a  little 
last  week  by  bringing  in  a  green  young  pacer  that 
had  never  been  trained,  and  driving  him  a  quarter  in 
30%  seconds,  the  first  time  he.  ever  was  on  a  track. 

Arlie  Frost  arrived  from  Albuquerque,  N.  M.,  this 
week,  with  eight  head,  among  them  being  Stranger 
O.  2:08%,  Toung  Hal  2:10%,  Helena  Morgan  (3) 
2:14%,  and  a  promising  Zolock  colt.  Arlie  expressed 
great  surprise  when  he  arrived  at  finding  such  a  fine 
plant  here,  with  such  good  tracks.  One  feature  of 
our  plant  that  some  trainers  find  very  advantageous 
is  having  a  good,  regulation  half-mile  track  in  addi- 
tion to  the  mile  track.  This  enables  horses  to  be 
worked  and  prepared  for  campaigning  over  the  one 
or   two-lap  rings  next  season. 

We  are  going  to  send  a  personal  representative  over 
to  Los  Angeles  to  look  after  the  details  of  providing 
for  shipping  horses  over  here  at  the  close  of  their 
meeting,  and  the  railroad  companies  have  agreed  to 
give  us  a  rate  of  one-way  charge  for  the  round  trip 
on  horses  from  Los  Angeles,  w^hich  will  make  it  only 
cost  about  520  per  horse  for  the  round  trip,  and  to 
make  the  run  in  twenty-four  hours  or  less.  We  are 
now  arranging  with  the  Arms  Palace  Horse  Car  Com- 
pany to  furnish  palace  cars  enough  to_  accomodate  all 
the  horses  that  are  to  come  over.  We  will  aslo  have 
a  one-fare  round  trip  passenger  rate  from  Los  An- 
geles to  Phoenix  for  the  fair. 
Tours  very  truly,

DEATH     OF    WILLIAM     McGRAW. 


One  of  the  old-time  trainers  and  race  drivers  of 
California  crossed  over  the  great  divide  when  William 
McGraw  died  at  Vallejo  one  day  last  week.  For 
twenty-five  or  thirty  years  Mr.  McGraw  was  a  promi- 
nent trainer  and  driver  on  California  tracks  and  took 
part  in  some  of  the  greatest  contests  ever  seen  on  the 
Pacific  slope.  He  owned,  trained  and  raced  that  well- 
known  trotter  Silas  Skinner  2:17.  also  the  well-known 
mare,  Lilly  Stanley  2:17%,  now  a  member  of  the 
Great  Brood  Mare  list.  For  a  number  of  years  he 
conducted  a  livery  business  in  Napa,  and  while  there 
trained  and  raced  Lily  Stanley  for  Frank  and  Nathan 
Coombs,  and  became  the  owner  of  Silas  Skinner.  He 
moved  from  Napa  to  Santa  Rosa,  where  he  placed 
Silas  Skinner  in  the  stud,  and  resided  there  several 
years.  For  a  number  of  years  past  he  resided  at 
Vallejo,  having  returned  to  his  trade  of  blacksmith- 
ing  and  holding  a  position  in  the  Navy  Yard.  While 
residing  at  Vallejo  he  took  a  McKinney  gelding  to 
drive  on  the  road  and  train  at  the  trot  for  Prof.  E. 
P.  Heald  of  San  Francisco.  This  gelding  began  to 
show  speed  and  was  sold  a  few  months  ago  to  Mr. 
J.  W.  Zibbell  &  Son  of  this  city,  who  raced  him  suc- 
cessfully this  year  under  the  name  of  Adam  G.  He 
took  a  record  of  2:11%  in  a  winning  heat  and  is  con- 
sidered one  of  the  greatest  prospects  now  in  Cali- 
fornia. Mir.  McGraw  was  a  born  horseman,  and  in 
his  younger  days  was  reckoned  one  of  the  leading 
trainers  on  the  coast.  For  several  years  previous  to 
his  death  he  was  in  poor  health,,  but  continued  at  his 
work  at  the  Navy  Yard  until  a  few  weeks  ago.  He 
leaves  to  mourn  his  loss  an  invalid  wife  and  a  son  and 
daughter. 


There  are  only  about  twenty  horses  and  young  colts 
and  fillies  catalogued  for  the  Woodland  Stock  Farm 
sale  to  be  held  at  Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s  next  Tuesday 
evening,  but  they  are  choice  ones  in  looks  as  well  as 
breeding.  This  is  the  first  of  annual  sales  which  are 
to  be  held  by  this  farm,  and  are  expected  to  make 
a  reputation  for  the  farm  if  they  are  trained  and 
raced. 


Will  G.  Durfee,  the  well-known  Los  Angeles  trai 
makes  the  extraordinary  announcement  that  at  Aji 
cultural  Park,  Los  Angeles,  on  Friday  morning, 
10:30  o'clock,  during  the  big  harness  meeting  to 
held  there  next  week,  he  will  offer  for  sale  at  auci 
the  following  horses: 

Jupiter  B.  2:12  by  Gen.    Beverley,     Bellemont 
2:17%   by  Zombro,  Cuate  2:17%  by  McKinney,  He 
Dare,  trial  2:15  by  Zombro,  Great  Peter,  pacer,  t 
2:11%    by    Peter    the   Great,    Lee    Burns,    pacer,   t 
2:12%,  and  a  number  of  other  promising  young  hor 

Here  is  an  opportunity  to  get  some  rare  good  o) 
in  training  and  all  ready  to  step  on  the  road  or  r 
next  year,  and  at  your  own  price. 

While  Jupiter  B.   2:12    and    Cuate    2.17%     are 
owned  by  the  same  parties,  Mr.  Durfee  has  had  tr 
hooked  together  and  believes  they  will  make  the  fa" 
est  team  of  pony  trotters  in  the  world.     They  di 
like   one   horse  and  could  show  a   2:10  gait  toget 
the  first  time  hooked  up      They  do  not  pull  a  pou 
need  no  boots  and  are  absolutely  sound.     Either 
beat  2:10,   and  wall  be  good  in  their  classes   on 
circuit. 

Bellemont,    the    three-year-old    Zombro    filly    is 
grand  prospect  and  a  royally  bred  one.     She  won- 
two-year-old  trotting  division  of  the  Breeders'  Fut 
ity  last  year,  and  was   second  to  North   Star   in 
Occident    Stake    this   year.      She    was   short   of   \ 
when  she  started  in  the  last  named  stake  and  recer 
worked  a  mile  in  2:11%  at  Los  Angeles,  showing 
to  be  one  of  the  very  fastest  three-year-old  trott 
of  1905.     She  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Altamont,  and 
one   of  the   best   bred   fillies   on   the   Coast.     She 
show  a  mile  in  2:10  and  is  one  of  the  best  prospe 
for  a  Grand  Circuit  winner. 

Lee  Burns  is  a  five-year-old  green  pacer  by  Bol 
Burns,  first  dam  by  Red  Wilkes,  second  dam  by  N 
wood,  and  can  step  a  quarter  in  30  seconds  any  ti] 
He  is  very  steady  and  goes  without   hopples. 

Great  Peter  is  one  of  the  grandest  bred  horses 
California.  He  is. by  Peter  the  Great  2:07%,  sire 
the  great  Sadie  Mac,  and  is  grandly  bred  on  his  dai 
side.  He  is  extremely  speedy,  having  shown  a  ti 
of  2:11%,  and  is  a  most  beautifully  turned  yoi 
horse  with  one  of  the  richest  colored  coats  any  < 
ever   saw. 

Helen  Dare  is  a  green  trotter  by  Zombro  and  c< 
sidered  by  competent  judges  to  be  one  of  the  best 
Southern  California.  She  is  very  handsome  and 
perfectly  gaited  mare  and  trotted  the  last  three-qu; 
ters  of  a  mile  in  2:15  in  1:39%,  showing  that  she  1 
gameness  as  well  as  a  high  rate  of  speed. 

There  will  be  many  horsemen  in  Los  Angeles  n< 
week  to  attend  the  harness  race  meeting,  and  n( 
should  miss  this  opportunity  of  attending  a  sale  wh> 
sound  horses  with  known  speed  are  to  be  sold.  1 
sale  will  be  held  in  the  forenoon  of  Friday,  beginni

GET  A  STAKE   WINNER   FOR   1907. 


A  brown   colt,   a   foal  of  1904.   by    Nushagak,    d; 
Addie  B.  by  Dexter  Prince,  second  dam  Addie  W. 
Whips,    third    dam    Addie,    dam    of   Woodnut    2:16 
etc.,   and   grandam    of  Arion    2:07%,   by   Hasbrouc 
Hambletonian,    fourth    dam    by    Harry    Clay,    will 
sold   at  the  Woodland    Stock  Farm   sale   in   this  c 
next  Tuesday  evening.    The  owner  says:     Individua 
we  do  not  believe  there  are  many  finer  colts  in  Ce 
fornia.     He  is  large,   smoothly  turned  and  looks  1 
a  trotter.     Is  good-headed  and  good-gaited,  and  wr 
he  has  had  no  regular  training,  gives  every  indicat: 
of   developing   into   a  very   fast   colt,   as   while   be: 
broken  he  has  shown  a  2:50  gait  and  can  step  cli 
to  a  forty  gait.     His  individuality,  with  his  breedi 
should   make   him   a  very   desirable   stallion,   and 
stake  engagements  being  added,  he  should  be  a  des 
able  piece  of  property.     When  led  into  the  sale  ri 
he  will  show  for  himself.     His  stake  engagements 
the  Kentucky  Futurity  $21,000.  the  Hartford  Futur 
510,000,  the  Horse  Review  Stake  $10,000,  the  Westi 
Horseman  Stake  $7,000,  the  Breeders'  Futurity  $7,0 
and    the    Occident    and    Stanford    Stake,    which 
gether  will  aggregate  $60,000.

'a    THOROUGHBRED   DEPARTMENT. 

By    RALPH     H.     TOZEB, 


The  local  winter  racing-  season  of  1905-1906  began 
ost  auspiciously  last  Saturday  at  Emeryville.  The 
eather  was  delightful,  the  card  offered  decidedly 
lassy,"  the  contests  very  exciting-  in  four  of  the 
events.  Eight  thousand  attended  the  races,  not- 
ithstanding  the  Stanford-California  football  game 
\  ;ir;  as  down  for  decision  the  same  afternoon  at  Palo 
to.  Twenty  bookmakers  drew  positions  in  the  big 
rig,  and  there  were. besides  three  field  books  and  one 
.mbination.  Barney  Schreiber's  broad  Teutonic 
iiz  loomed  up  prominently  on  a  booky's  block  after 
i  absence  of  a  year  and  Joe  Harlan  looks  to  have 
lined  fifteen  or  twenty  pounds  through  his  long 
int  in  Wyoming  for  big  game.  The  public  began 
eking  winning  wagers  at  once,  and  J.  O.  Keene,  who 
it   in    as    a    bookmaker,    lost    with    such    regularity,

as  a  more  pleasant  spot  than  the  big  draughty  bei  - 
rig  ring. 

The  first  winner  of  the  season  was  Zeke  Abraham's 
iy  Belvedere  filly.  Miller's  Daughter,  and  she  put  a 
t  of  the  best  quality  of  flour  in  Zeke's  barrel  by  not 
Uy  winning,  but  winning  at  odds  of  25  to  1,  in  a 
rry  busy  finish  by  a  neck,  Dod  Anderson  being  sec- 
id.  a  nose  before  -Potrero  Grande.  This  was  cer- 
inly  a  clever  way  to  start  the  ball  a  rolling,  even  if 
e  favorite  did  finish  fifth.  Watercure  evened  up 
atters  for  the  brainy  burners  of  midnight  gas  by 
inning  the  second  race  with  all  the  ease  and  much 
the  speed  for  which  he  was  famous  five  or  six 
•ars  ago,  for  be  it  known  that  the  "Watercress 
'Iding  has  reached  the  good  old  horse  age  of  nine. 
m  Joe  surprised  many  by'  winning  the  third  in  slow 
me  at  odds  of  10  to  1,  Loyal  Front,  favorite,  finish- 
g  fifth,  and  F.  W.  Barr,  second  choice,  bleeding  and 
■frig  pulled  up.  San  Nicholas,  the  black  Bakersfield- 
■ed  gelding  by  the  dead  Reggie,  dam  Virginia  Dare, 
imp.  Darebin,  running  with  109  pounds  in  the 
lors  of  P.  Ryan,  with  W.  Davis  in  the  saddle,  and 
t  odds  of  6  to  1  in  the  betting,  made  every  post  a 
inning  one  in  the  Opening  Handicap/worth  $2450, 
ji  the  winner.  At  the  sighting  rod  his  margin  over 
te  fast  coming  High  Chancellor  (also  at  6  to  1)  was 
head,  while  Tern's  Rod  (40  to  I)  wound  up 
ird,  half  a  dozen  lengths  back.  Proper,  the  3  to  5 
ivorite  in  the  race  was  caught  at  the  barrier  at  the 
art,  and  would  not  thereafter  extend  himself,  being 
,..»■■  i  inglorious  sixth  in  the  thirteen-horse  field  at  the 
nish.  Cruzados,  off  right  foot  first,  Tocolaw  away 
xth  and  Bearcatcher  all  but  left,  was  the  order  at 
nd-away  time  in  the  fifth  event.  As  a  result  Bald- 
in's  bay  beauty,  Cruzados  experienced  no  pain  in 
ulling  off  the  big  end  of  the  purse,  which  he  did  in 
le  splendid  time,  track  considered,  of  1-:.13%,  Toco- 
w  second,  a  litle  over  half  a  length  before  the  un- 
>rtunate  Bearcatcher,  who  would  undoubtedly  have 
iven  Cruzados  a  clever  argument  if,  off  on  good  terms 
ith  the  Californian.  Reservation,  a  9  to  10  favorite, 
it  home  first  by  a  scant  neck  in  the  last  race,  mile 
d  a  sixteenth,  while  Lady  Goodrich  beat  Hugh 
cGowan  a  length  for  second  money.  McBride  rather 
rried  off  the  riding  honors  of  the  afternoon,  with 
le  win  and  two  seconds  to  his  credit,  Radke,  the 
oy  who  cut  a  wide  swath  in  the  Middle  West  this 
ason,  his  first  as  a  rider,  made  his  bow  to  the  pub- 
c  on  San  Primo,  who  was  a  fair  fourth  in  the  first 
ice.  Aubuchon,  Rice,  Goodchild,  Davisson,  Schade. 
)ung  Battiste  and  E.  Robinson,  also  new  to  the  local 
icing  public,  made  their  first  appearance  here.  W. 
mith  rode  a  nice  race  on  Watercure,  Loague  like- 
ise  on  Miller's 'Daughter,  while  Willie  Davis  had  to 
3  his  prettiest  to  land  the  principle  event  with  San 
icholas.

The  features  of  Monday's  racing   (which   was  fully 

to    Saturday's    standard    of    excellence)    were    the 

9   of  Avonalis,    Judge    Denton    and    Cloudlight,    at 

iry  pleasant  prices  for  the  investors;   Epicures  good 

lowing    in    the    seven    furlongs.    High    Chancellor's 

ilendid    performance    in    the    mile    and    a    sixteenth 

irse,  which  he   won   in   a   gallop   in   1.46%   with   112 

Junds  on,  and  the  Lady  Rohesia's  decided  improve- 

ent  in  the  last  race,  which  she  won  by  four  lengths 

ith   utmost    ease.      Radke    rode    his    first    winner   on 

iolera  and  Joseph's  Bright  Phoebus  filly,  Cloudlight, 

id  Aubuchon  had  the  mount  on  The  Lady  Rohesia. 

vonalis,   the   black  filly,    that   won    the   first   race,   is 

imp.  St.  Avonicuss  the  St.  Simon  horse  owned  by 

late  Charles  L.  Fair  and  later  the  property  of  the 

.e  Caesar  Young.     It  looks   as  if  the  good   looking 

se  would  get  plenty  of  speed,  and  the  St.   Simons 

the    faculty,    generally,    of    "going    on."      Judge 

enton    and    High    Chancellor,    winners    of    Monday, 

ere  owned  by  Louis  A.  Bonsack,  the  young  St.  Louis 

irfman.  who   seems  to   have  hia  flyers  in   first-class 

lape.     Washington,    as   black  as  the  proverbial   ace 

'  spades,  had  the  mount  om  Judge  Denton,  who  was 

:  odds  of  12  to  1.     The  Judge  had  to  be  hustled  hard 

•  beat  Ed  Lilburn  out.     Lilburn  is  an  own  brother  to 

loudlight,  winner  of  the  fifth  event  of  the  day. 

Tuesday's    racing    was    very    good,    the    finishes    in 

iree  of  the  six  events  being  exceedingly  close.     The 

tion  of  the  session  was  Succeed's  success  at  odds 

ood  as  40  to  1  (30  at  the' close).     McBride  got  the 

lalock  filly   off   well    on   her   stride,    and    Silver   Sue 

luld  never  collar  her.     Isolation  was  a  poor  favorite 

i  this  race.     Royal  Rogue  woke  up  and  showed  his 

d  time  speed  by  beating  Titus  by  a  head  in  1:07% 

>r  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  Duelist  (30  to  1)   third. 

Hus  had  been  played  from   5  to  1  down   to  8  to  5, 


u 


and  the  bookies  thus  had  a  very  "narrow  squeak/' 
Princess  Titania,  well-played  in  the  fifth,  got  away 
flymg  and  landed  by  less  than  a  length  from  the 
Schreiber  horse  Deutchland,  a  20  to  1  shot,  while 
Tocolaw,  the  favorite,  was  a  poor  third  under  a  poor 
ride  from  Minder,  who  also  showed  to  poor  advantage 
on  Hugh  McGowan,  favorite  in  the  last  event,  w.oh  by 
Lady   Goodrich   in   clever  fashion. 

C.  C.  McCafferty  arrived  early  in  the  week  from 
Latonia  with  the  local  idol  of  the  turf,  Dr.  Leggo. 
Delagoa,  M.  A.  Powell  and  others-  with  winning  ways. 
The  Doctor  is  declared  to  have  "rounded  to,"  and  if 
so,  no  horse  on  the  local  scene  can  take  his  measure. 

Tommy  Griffin'sJ  big  six  string  should  reach  Emery- 
ville about  Monday,  as  he  left  Aqueduct  Wednesday 
night. 

John  F.  Schorr  and  wife  arrived  from  New  York 
last  Sunday  night.  Mr.  S.'s  good  horse  Ananias 
went  lame  and  he  had  very  poor  luck  all  around,  it  i/ 
said. 

Next  week  we  should  see  Bullman,  Taylor,  Joe 
Kelly,  and  Ralph  Murphy  in  the  saddle.  The  latter 
is  under  contract  to  Billy  Roche,  can  "do"  105  pounds, 
and  is  a  clever  rider  who  has  "made  good"  wherever 
he  has  ridden. 

The  excellent  jockey,  Frank  Prior,  who  has  been 
under  contract  to  "Boots"  Durnell  for  the  past  two 
seasons,  is  now  under  Billy  Cross'  management. 
Prior  can  "do"  109  pounds. 

W.  O.  B.  M*acdonough  has  just  purchased  a  fine  filly 
by  Compute  (son  of  the  great  Hanover  and  the  fam- 
ous racer  and  producer  Reckon)  out  of  a  mare  of  the 
Bend  Or  family.  She  should  be  immensely  valuable 
in  the  stud,  as  the  Hanover  and  Bend  Or  blood  has 
been  "on  top"  in  America  for  many  years  past. 
Hanover  led  all  our  stallions  for  four  seasons,  while 
imp.  Ben  Strome  by  Bend  Or,  led  in  1903. 

Harry  Robson's  horses,  also  those  of  E.  L.  Fitz- 
gerald, arrived  last  Tuesday.  In  the  Robinson  string 
is  Eduardo  (a  rare  good  one),  Lid  Silver.  McGinnis, 
Youth,  Ada  N.,  and  Pierce  J.,  the  last  named  too  well 
known  in  these  parts.  Mr.  Fitzgerald  owns  Pentagon, 
Sand  and  Mildred  Grist,  the  first  named  two  being 
good  winners  on  the  Canadian  circuit. 

Walter  Adams,  a  clever  jockey,  is  a  late  arrival  from 
the  East.    He  rides  at  about  110  pounds. 

Mrs.  Garnett  Ferguson  has  named  a  fast  yearling 
filly  by  St.  Simonian  from  a  Spendthrift  mare  Tetraz- 
zini,  in  honor  of  the  great  opera  singer. 

Charles  Kerr,,  the  Bakersfield  breeder,  saw  San 
Nicolas,  a  horse  of  his  breeding,  win  the  Opening 
Handicap  Saturday.  The  Kerr  yearlings  by  imp. 
Kismet,  Herald  and  Cromwell  will  probably  be  sold 
here  shortly. 

E.  J.  ("Lucky")  Baldwin  is  lying  in  a  darkened 
room  at  Lane  Hospital,  this  city,  and  it  is  feared  that 
he  will  lose  his  eyesight  completely  withini  the  next 
month.  Mr.  Baldwin  was  one  of  the  first  men  to  ever 
send  a  string  of  race  horses  from  California  to  the 
eastern  side  of  the  Rockies  to  battle  for  the  coin,  and 
for  years  his  string  cut  a  big  figure  on  the  turf  of 
this  country.  East  and  West.  He  is  even  now  the 
owner  of  the  largest  string  in  the  West,  having  close 
to  fifty  horses  in  training  at  this  time.  When  Grin- 
stead  w^as  at  the  height  of  his  glory  as  a  sire,  Mr. 
Baldwin  was  second  as  a  breeder  to  no  man  in  Amer- 
ica. At  Santa  Anita,  a  principality  in  Los  Angeles 
county  of  over  50,000  acres,  he  bred  Volante,  Santiago. 
Silver  Cloud,  Gano,  Wheel  of  Fortune,  Cleopatra,  Gris- 
mer,  Lucky  B..  Rey  El  Santa  Anita,  Mission  Belle. 
Goliah,  Rey.  del  Carreres,  Cruzados,  Santa  Ana,  and 
many  others,  and  he  campaigned  Los  Angeles  and 
Miss  Ford,  two  of  the  greatest  race  mares  in  turf 
history,  also  the  Champion  Emperor  of  Norfolk. 


THE  HORSE'S  TEETH  AFTER  EIGHT  YEARS. 


After  the  age  of  eight  years,  the  evidence  which  is 
afforded  by  the  wear  of  the  incisor  teeth  is  much  less 
definite  and  trustworthy  than  it  is  prior  to  that  age, 
and  an  opinion  has  to  be  based  on  general  observa- 
tion, and  in  any  case  is  not  supposed  to  be  absolutely 
accurate.  The  expression  "about  nine,"  or  "nine  or 
ten  years  old,"  will  be  used  very  frequently,  and 
sometimes  a  good  judge  will  decline  to  be-  limited  to 
a  year  or  two  in  cases  where  the  conditions  of  the 
incisor  teeth  indicates  that  they  have  been  subjected 
to  exceptional  wear  from  crib  biting  or  some  other 
cause. 

At  nine  years  old  the  marks  in  the  ventral  incisors, 
which  at  eight  years  are  triangular,  become  more 
rounded  in  form,  and  are  nearer  the  posterior  bounda- 
ries of  the  teeth.  The  corner  incisors  are  still  more 
square  than  they  were  a  year  before,  and  the  tusk 
is  conical  and  blunted. 

At  nine  years  old  the  marks  in  the  central  incisors, 
are  commonly  reduced  to  small  round  spots  and  are 
quite  close  to  the  posterior  edges  of  the  teeth,  which 
are  beginning  to  assume  the  triangular  form. 

As  a  matter  of  fact  only  the  upper  corner  incisors 
need  be  consulted  for  evidence  of  age,  from  ten  to 
thirty,  and  the  only  mark  to  be  loked  for  is  a  dark 
line  or  groove  which  commences  to  appear  on  the 
outer  surface  of  each  top  corner  incisor  immediately 
below  the  gum,  at  ten  years  of  age. 

Careful  observation  of  the  upper  corner  incisors 
at  ten  years  old  will  reveal  the  presence  of  a  slight 
depression  extending  from  the  edge  of  the  gum  down- 
wards about  an  eighth  of  an  inch.  This  depression 
is  really  the  end  of  a  groove  which  exists  in  the  fang 
of  the  tooth,  and  it  is  brought  into  view  by  the  growth 
of  the  tooth,  and  the  decrease  in  the  depths  of  the 
colar  cavity  in  which  the  tooth  is  lodged. 

As  these  processes  go  on,  year  by  year,  more  of  the 
groove  is  seen,  while  the  constant  wear  of  the  cut- 
ting surfaces  of  the  incisors  bring  them  nearer  to  the 
groove,  and  in  about  eleven  years  from  its  first  ap- 
pearance, it  reaches  from  the  gum  to  the  cutting  edges 


of  the  incisors.  At  the  same  time  it  will  be  seen  by 
a  close  inspection  of  the  top  of  the  incisor,  close  to 
the  gum,  that  the  groove  is  at  an  end;  there  is,  in 
fact,  no  more  of  it  to  appear.  The  further  growth 
of  the  tooth  will  expose  the  perfectly  smooth  surface 
of  the  fang  and  the  combined  effects  of  the  wear  at 
the  bottom  and  the  growth  from  the  top  will  finally 
lead  to  the  obliteration  of  the  groove  entirely. 

This  system  is  really  the  only  method  of  judging 
the  age  above  ten  years  worthy  of  consideration.  But 
it  is  quite  certain  that  to  use  the  system  effectively, 
experience  on  an  extensive  scale  is  necessary.  Clearly 
success  depends  entirely  on  keen  observation  of  the 
condition  of  the  groove  in  the  corner  incisors  in  ref- 
erence to  the  gum  at  the  top  of  the  tooth,  and  the 
cutting  surface  of  the  bottom.  The  whole  length  of 
the  tooth  must  be  mapped  out  in  imagination  and  a 
certain  length  of  groove  marked  for  every  year,  thus 
allowing  ten  years  for  the  groove  to  reach  the  whole 
length  of  the  tooth.  The  fact  of  it  having  reached  the 
middle  of  the  tooth  will  be  evidence  that  the  age  is 
about  fifteen  or  sixteen.  If  the  tooth  be  divided  Into 
four  equal  parts  the  extension  of  the  groove  to  the 
first  line  will  mean  between  twelve  and  thirteen,  and 
to  the  third  line  between  seventeen  and  eighteen  years 
of  age. 

In  adopting  the  foregoing  descriptive  method  the 
observer  is  left  to  exercise  his  ingenuity,  and  it  is  a 
very  interesting  inquiry  when  an  aged  horse  whose 
age  is  known  to  the  owner  comes  under  observation. 
It  will  be  seen  that  no  special  skill  is  required  in  the 
application  of  this  test.  It  is  not  necessary  to  secure 
the  horse  in  any  way  or  even  to  open  his  mouth.  The 
corner  of  the  upper  lip  must  be  raised  sufficiently  to 
bring  the  top  corner  incisor  into  view.  The  rest  is  a 
mere. matter   of   calculation. 

When  the  groove  has  reached  the  bottom  of  the 
incisors  and  the  horse  has  obtained  the  ripe  age  of 
twenty-one  years  further  observation  must  be  directed 
to  the  top  of  the  groove.  Certain  exceptions  to  the 
normal  development  of  the  teeth  and  some  irregulari- 
ties and  accidents  may  be  expected  to  occur  during 
the  period  of  temporary  and  permanent  dentition, 
and  from  time  to  time  various  degrees  of  constitu- 
tional disturbance  will  be  observed,  which  are,  how- 
ever, invariably  referred  to  other  causes,  or  left  with- 
out any  explanation.  The  process  of  "teething"  in 
the  human  being  is  always  estimated  as  having  an 
importan*  bearing  on  the  health  of  the  sufferer,  but 
there  is  a  novelty  in  the  idea  that  horses  or  other  of 
the  lower  animals  experience  any  inconvenience  from 
the  eruption  of,  or  changes  in,  the  teeth,  although  it 
is  known  that  these  changes  take  place  on  a  much 
more  extensive  scale  than  they  do  in  the  higher  ani- 
mal. 

During  the  third  year  of  a  horse's  life  twelve  new- 
teeth,  eight  molars  and  four  incisors,  are  cut,  and  in 
the  course  of  the  fourth  year  there  are  sixteen  new 
teeth,  four  incisors,  eight  molars  and  four  tusks, 
which  are  all  advancing  at  the  same  time,  causing,  as 
a  matter  of  necessity,  considerable  irritation  and 
requiring  more  attention  than  is  ever  given  during 
these  periods. 

It  is  surprising  that  no  investigation  has  been 
made  into  the  diseases  which  are  incidental  to  the 
process  of  teething  in  the  horse  and  it  is  not,  there- 
fore, possible  to  refer  to  any  specified  disorders  which 
are  met  with  during  the  third  and  fourth  years;  but 
irregular  appetites,  refusal  of  certain  kinds  of  food, 
dropping  half  masticated  food  (quidding)  from  the 
mouth,  cough  and  sore  throat,  "lampas,"  and  general 
loss  of  condition  may  quite  consistently  be  referred 
to  irritation  and  fever  induced  by  cutting  the  teeth. 

Disease  in  the  structure  of  the  teeth,  so  common 
in  man,  is  rare  in  the  horse,  but  not  unknown  to  the 
observant  veterinarian  who  has  looked  for  it.  Injury 
to  the  fang  of  a  molar  in  the  bottom  jaw  has  led  to 
the  formation  of  areolar  abscess,  which  has  defied  all 
kinds  of  treatment,  because  the  real  nature  of  the  dis- 
order has  not  been  suspected  and  a  dead  tooth  has 
been  allowed  to  remain  in  its  cavity. 

One  of  the  most  disastrous  accidents  which  can 
happen  to  a  horse's  teeth  is  the  loss  of  one  of  the 
molars  from  any  cause,  when  the  occurrence  has  not 
been  observed.  The  result  is  the  growth  of  the  tooth 
which  formerly  came  in  regular  contact  with  the  ab- 
sent one,  but  it  is  now  unchecked  by  any  persistent 
pressure,  and  therefore  continues  to  grow  until  it 
prevents  proper  closure  of  the  mouth  and  renders 
mastication  impossible. 

The  real  difficulty  in  regard  to  dental  irregulari- 
ties is  the  frequent  absence  of  any  suspicion  on  the 
part  of  the  owner  of  the  horse  out  of  condition  as  to 
the  cause  of  the  derangement  being  in  any  way  con< 
nected  with  the  teeth,  and  his  consequent  neglect  to 
call  in  veterinary  assistance.  W.  R.  GILBERT. 


John  Shepard,  the  Boston  amateur  reinsman, 
thought  the  ownership  of  Ethel's  Pride  2.06%  brought 
the  fullest  measure  of  pleasure  when  she  won  the 
Transylvania  but  recently  he  found  out  that  this  was 
not  so.  He  went  out  to  the  Readville  track,  hooked 
the  daughter  of  Directum  up  with  Promise  2:10,  and 
discovered  that  he  had  a  perfect  pole  horse  in  his 
latest  purchase.  Then  he  hitched  her  to  a  single 
wagon  to  give  her  a  slow  mile.  Going  up  the  back 
stretch  the  temptation  to  step  her  a  bit  was  too  much 
and  he  clucked  at  her  and  she  was  off  like  a  quarter 
horse.  At  the  six-furlong  post  he  snapped  his  watch 
and  stopped  it  when  he  reached  the  wire.  The  timer 
showed  29^4  seconds,  which  he  could  hardly  believe 
was  correct  until  one  of  the  rail  birds  shouted  "I 
caught  that  last  quarter  in  29  seconds." 


At  the  auction  sale  at  Glenworth  Stock  Farm,  Bur- 
gin.  Ky.,  saddle  bred  horses  made  high  prices,  wean- 
lings selling  at  $120  to  $357.50,  yearlings  at  an  average 
of  $225,  and  brood  mares  around  $360.

idea  is  to  work  with  the  American  Stud  Book  and  the 
American  Trotting  Register.  In  other  words,  he  does 
not  propose  to  set  up  a  Canadian  Stud  Book  for  these 
breeds,  but  will  start  a  register  for  them.  The  On- 
tario Jockey  Club  has  been  keeping  a  register  of  foals

life    to    the    breeding    and    handling    of    trotting-bred 
expresses   the   opinion  that  at  least  seventy:- 
uent  of  the  blue  ribbon  winners  at  the  Windy 
ffair   would   prove    to   be   strictly   trotting-bred 
if  their  full  and  correct  pedigrees  were  stated 
in    the    entry   list.     Many   horsemen   believe   that   this 
statement   is    true,   not   only  for   one,   but  for   all   the 
big  shows  held  all  over  the  country  during  every  sea- 
son of  the  year.     It  is  a  great  drawback  to  the  trot- 
ting horse  breeding  industry  of  the  country  that  man- 
agers   of  the  leading  horse  shows   do  not  require  the 
full  breeding  of  all  "and  every  horse  entered  for  com- 
petition, and  thereby  help  the  breeding  public  to  get 
s  )me  knowledge  as  to   the  best  method  of  producing 
high  class  animals.

Draft  horses  are  in  great  demand  and  prices  are 
soaring  skyward.  Last  week  a  Los  Angeles  buyer 
visited  Rio  Vista  and  purchased  six  spans  of  drafters 
the  lowest  price  for  a  span  being  §550  and  the  highest 
$600.  Good  draft  mares  are  very  scare  in  California 
and  where  the  draft  horses  are  to  come  from  to  supply 
the  demand  of  the  near  future  is  a  question  hard  to 
answer. 


The  sale  of  the  Billings  horses  marks  the  retirement

possibly  two.  The  report  which  was  sent  out  from 
New  York  last  summer  that  he  was  to  forsake  the 
5  horse  for  motor  vehicles  he  did  not  consider 
worth  denying  but  before  he  sailed  for  Europe  he 
remarked  that  after  his  European  business  was  fin- 
ished he  would  come  back  and  stock  up  with  a  fresn 
lot  of  trotters  and  pacers.  Every  patrcn  of  the  turf 
is  hoping  that  he  will  then  take  up  professional  racing, 
and  many  look  for  him  to  do  so  and  think  he  will 
find  the  entering  wedge  the  futurity  engagements  of 
the  John  A.  McKerron  colts,  which  he  will  raise  from 
such  mares  as  Lucille,  Mazette,  Imogene,  Louise  Jef-

SAN   BERNARDINO  RACES. 


In  spite  of  rain  that  fell  for  two  days  previous  to  tho 
opening1  day,  a  program  of  excellent  racing  was.  given 
by  the  San  Bernardino  Driving- Club  at  its  first  meeting, 
which  opened  on  Thursday,  November  9th,  and  con- 
tinued three  days.  This  meeting  was  made  possible 
by  the  enterprise  of  four  of  the  leading  horse  breeders 
of  this  vicinity,  viz:  John  A.  Cole,  G.  W.  Prescott, 
S.  B.  Wright  and  Geo.  H.  Parker,  associated  with  A. 
W.  Bruner  of  Los  Angeles,  who  is  striving  hard  to 
place  the  breeding  and  racing  of  horses  on  a  high 
level.  The  magnificent  meeting  at  Los  Angeles  in 
July  and  this  one  mark  a  new  era  in  the  sport  in  this 
section  of  the  State.  Owing  to  the  rain  the  track 
■was  heavy  and  slow,  but  was  pronounced  by  the 
trainers  to  be  the  equal  when  in  shape  of  any  in  the 
East.  Several  from  the  north  were  so  pleased  that 
they  contemplate  returning  here  to  winter,  the  alti- 
tude being  a  bar  to  the  foggy,  chilly  forenoons  so 
prevalent  along  the  ocean  shore. 

The  program  on  the  opening  day  consisted  of  three 
faces,  the  first  of  which  was  the  2:12  class  pace  with 
seven  starters.  After  the  mare  from  the  far  north, 
'Vinnie  Mann,  had  taken  the  first  heat,  the  Los  An- 
geles pacer  Glen  won  three  straight  heats  and  first 
money.  The  time  seemed  slow  for  the  class  of  horses 
but  the  condition  of  the  track  must  be  considered. 
It  was  a  good  contest,  and  every  man  and  horse 
U|(  seemed  doing  everything  possible  to  win. 


and  when  they  appeared  all  necks  were  craned  to 
catch  a  glimpse  of  the  kings  of  American  turf.  Haze! 
Patch  2:02%  drew  the  pole.  The  track  was  sticky, 
and  slow,  but  the  $700  first  money  and  no  entrance 
out  "looked  good"  to  the  owners,  and  proved  a  great 
stimulant  to  the  drivers  to  hurry  up  on  the  turns  and 
stretches,  and  get  around  as  soon  as  possible,  which 
they  did.  Hazel  Patch  won,  time  2:08  flat,  with  thou- 
sands of  eager  eyes  watching  every  motion.  They 
got  the  magic  word  "Go"  on  the  third  score.  Hazel 
Patch  set  the  pace  with  Zolock  hanging  on  the  out- 
side on  even  terms.  In  this  position  they  quickly 
swung  by  the  eighth  pole,  reaching  the  quarter  in 
32  seconds;  down  the  back  stretch  they  stepped  like 
a  pole  team,  reaching  the  half  in  1:02%.  On  they 
sped  to  the  five-eighths  pole,  neither  being  able  to 
shake  the  other  off;  the  three-quarter  pole  was  close 
at  hand,  but  still  Hazel  Patch  had  not  gained,  both 
going  to  the  limit  of  their  speed,  neither  making  any 
false  moves.  The  frrends  of  each  horse  by  this  time 
felt  one  or  the  other  must  soon  weaken,  the  three- 
quarters  being  reached  in  1:35,  but  on  they  flew  to- 
ward their  breathless  admirers.  Zolock,  faltering 
slightly,  felt  the  tingle  of  the  whip,  but  Hazel  Patch 
proved  the  most  lasting,  and  won  the  heat  in  2:08, 
about  20  feet  ahead.  Considering  the  track  the  time 
was  equal  to  about  2:05^4. 

A  cheer  went  up  for  the  winner,  but  it  did  not  have 
the  soiil-stirring  echo  it  would  have  carried  had 
Zolock  wrested  victory  from  the  Eastern  horse. 

Darkness  was  closing  on  the  scene  of  the  mighty 
struggle;  the  great  white  capped  snow  peaks  of  Mt. 
San  Bernardino,  and  Gray  Rock,  had  gleams  of  sun- 
shine tossed  back  from  the  Pacific's  rounded  bosom, 
but  for  Zolock  there  was  no  ray  of  sunshine.  He 
had    done    his   best    to    retain   the    supremacy    of   the

v,  I  mer  at    San  Bernardino 


Six  trotters  faced  the  starter  in  the  2:14  class  and 
this  proved  a  long  drawn  out  contest  where  every 
heat  was  fought  for  by  every  horse  that  had  the 
speed  to  get  up  in  front  at  any  stage  of  the  game. 
After  three  heats  had  been  decided,  with  three  differ- 
ent   horses    winners,    the   race    had    to    be    postponed 

til  the  following  day,  whn  it  was  again  a  see-saw 

d  four  heats  more  were  required  to  find  the  winner, 
ich  turned  up  in  the  old  gray  campaigner  Rozelle. 

I  the  finishes  were  under  the  whip  and  the  best 
efforts  of  each  driver  were  put  forth  to  get  to  the 
wire  first. 

The  matinee  cup  race  for  2:30  class  pacers  was  won 
by  Harry  H.  Jr ,  in  straight  heats,  but  not  without 
a  struggle,  as  both  owners  were  very  desirous  of  pos- 
sessing the  trophy  and  drove  hard  for  it. 

The  second  day  opened  with  a  much  improved  track, 
and  there  was  great  enthusiasm  over  the  finish  of  the 
2:14  trot,  the  2:20  trot  that  had  seven  starters,  and 
the  match  between  Hazel  Patch  2:02%  and  Zolock 
2:0514.  The  first  heat  of  the  2:20  trot  was  won  by 
Billy  Dooley  after  a  desperate  struggle  with  Hank 
in  2:20,  while  the  second  heat  resulted  in  a  hot  con- 
test between  Eonita  and  Homeway,  the  latter  win- 
ning in  2:19^.  Bonita  then  went  to  the  front  and 
made  it  three  straight  for  first  money.  She  is  a  small 
brown  mare  by  Knight,  dam  by  Golddust  Jr.,  has  a 
most  level  head,  and  was  the  most  beautifully  gaited 
of  any  horse  on  the  track.  If  nothing  happens  her 
she  will  yet  equal  the  speed  of  her  near  relative,  the 
fast  pacer  and  trotter  Anaconda. 

There  were  nine  entries  in  the  2:20  pace  and  all 
started,  the  race  going  in  straight  heats  to  McKinney's 
son  Welcome  Mac,  who  was  driven  by  Walter  Maben 
and  given  a  record  of  2.12^  in  the  third  heat. 

Never  in  the  history  of  San  Bernardino  county  has 
two  such  champions  met  as  Hazel  Patch  and  Zolock. 


Coast  which  was  all  any  horse  could  do. 

A  strong  wind  began  early  in  the  rorenoon  of  the 
third  day.  It  cast  a  gloom  over  all  outdoor  under- 
takings, and  spread  discomfort  to  the  management  of 
the  races,  but  the  programs  for  the  day  were  faith- 
fully carried  out. 

The  second  heat  of  the  great  special  was  a  sky- 
rocket exhibition.  The  track  had  greatly  improved  but 
the  wind  was  a  belligerent  factor.  On  the  second 
score  the  champions  got  an  even  start,  Zolock'  carried 
his  Eastern  competitor  to  the  quarter  in  31  second, 
to  the  half  in  1.00%,  but  this  clip  was  too  much 
for  him  to  keep  up.  He  faltered,  and  finished  second 
in  2:10.  The  next  heat  was  a  sore  disappointment  to 
all  his  friends,  being  without  speed  from  wire  to  wire. 
Time  2:11J4. 

The  2:09  trot  aroused  great  interest,  as  the  spec- 
tators were  anxious  to  see  how  Jupiter  B.  would  ap- 
pear when  he  met  the  three  cracks  that  have  only  just 
returned  from  the  Grand  Circuit  The  majority 
thought  Caldwell  would  win,  which  he  did  in  straight 
heats,  best  time  2:10^,  exxcellent  for  the  track. 
Jupiter  B.  got  second  money  and  showed  that  he  will 
be  a  2:10  trotter  in  another  year.  AH  the  finishes  in 
this  race  were  close  and  exciting. 

Daedalion,  hero  of  many  a  good  race  this  year,  added 
another  to  his  score  of  wins  by  taking  the  2.09  pace 
from  a  high  class  field  in  stra'ght  limits.  He  is  a 
2:06  pacer  sure. 

The  meeting  closed  with  a  cup  race  for  matinee 
horses  and  was  won  by  Conchita,  a  daughter  of 
Zolock,  who  took  a  record  of  2:29,  giving  him  another 
standard  performer. 

The  judges  during  the  meeting  were  Messrs.  John 
A.  Cole.  R  T.  Curtis,  and  George  W.  Prescott.  Sec- 
retary A.  W.  Bruner  acted  as  starter  and  made  a 
success  of  getting  the  hordes  away.  The  timers  were 
Geo.   H.    Parker.    Geo.  .W.    Parsons,    William    Rourke, 


and  Mr.  E.  J.  Gilbert  acted  as  Clerk  of  the  Course.

POLO    IN    THE  SOUTH. 


Polo  bids  fair  to  be  the  winter  sport  in  this  section 
of  the  country,  for  interest  in  the  pastime  has  been  re- 
vived to  such  an  extent  that  not  only  are  the  south- 
ern teams  to  play  on  the  southern  circuit,  but  the 
northern  teams  as  well  will  be  ■  represented  here- 
abouts. 

It  is  announced  the  Burlingame  team  and  the  San 
Rafael  aggregation  will  send  a  string  of  ponies  to  the 
Santa   Barbara  and   Riverside   tournaments. 

After  the  meet  at  the  Channel  city  in  January  the 

'strings   will   go   to   Riverside,  where  the  Mackey  cup 

will  be  the  prize.     This  cup  was  won  last  year  by  the 

English  team,  but  will  be  contested  for  again  and  th" 

winners  will   hold   the  trophy  £dr  a  year. 

The  last  match  will  be  at  San  Diego,  where  a  new 
challenge  cup  has  been  offered  and  where  the  added 
feature  of  pony  races,  genllenu-ii  riders  only,  will  be 
introduced. 

The  Southern  California  Polo  an!  Puny  Racing 
Association  has  a  membership  of  live  teams — Santa 
Barbara,  Riverside.  Los  Angeles,  Santa  Monica  and 
Coronado,  The  Ocean  Park  Riding  Club  offered  to 
come  into  the  association,  but  the  proposition  was  re- 
jected on  the  ground  that  the  club  owned  no  horses 
and  could  net  ride  them  if  it  did.  In  scorn  the  polo 
men  pointed  to  the  meeting  held  at  Del  Rey  for  the 
purpose  of  organization  and  1  he  subsequent  trip  to 
the  Santa  Monica  canyon  on  the  electric  car; 

The  officers  r<f  the  association  are  Robert  Let'  Bett- 
ner  of  Riverside,  president  ;  Benjamin  Nantucket 
Smith,  set  retary-treasmvr.  and  abOUl  B  dozen  vice- 
presidents  who  either  own   polo   p01\l6S  or  have    vattanl 

lots  on  which  the  teams  can  practice— E.  Cameron 
Rodgers.  Santa  Barbara:  T.  II.  Dudley,  Santa  Monica, 
and  W.  Clayton,  Coronado. 


The   best    lime   and    place   to    buy   a    made   trotter   or 
pacer  is  at  W".  G.  Durfee*s  sale  al    Los  Angeles  next

THE   QUAILS  OF  THE   UNITED  STATES.

To  enable  them  to  withstand  the  winter,  bobwhites 
need  suitable  food  and  cover.  In  severe  winters  cov- 
eys are  sometimes  saved  by  being  trapped  and  fed  in 
confinement  until  spring.  Naturally  the  birds,  suffer 
most  in  the  northern  part  of  their  range,  but  there 
■  are  reports  of  their  death  from  severe  anc  proctracted 
cold  in  Maryland  and  Virginia.  Sandys  says.  "'The 
birds  know  when  the  snow  is  coming,  and  they 
creep  under  the  brush,  intending  to  remain  there  until 
the  weather  has  cleared.  *  *  *  Then  the  rain 
comes  and  wets  the  surface  all  about,  then  the  sleet 
stinrens  it,  "  *  ~  the  cold  becomes  intense,  anu 
every  foot  of  damp  snow  promptly  hardens  into  solid 
ice.     *  t     The  quail  are  now  imprisoned  beneath 

a  dome  of  crystal,  which  may  endure  for  days."  H.-  C. 
Oberholser  says  that  in  severe  winters  in  Wayne 
county,  O.,  whole  coveys. are  found  dead  from  this 
cause.  Dr.  P.  L,.  Hatch  reports  that  in  Minnesota  the 
birds  increase  in  numbers  during  years  with  mild  win- 
ters and  decrease  when  the  whjji£r  is  exceptionally 
severe.  "Wilson  Flagg  states  in  ''Birds  and  Seasons 
of  New  England"  that  thousands  of  bobwhites  were 
destroyed  by  the  deep  shows  of  1S56-57.  During  the 
severe  winter  of  1903-4  bobwhites  were  nearly  exter- 
minated in  portions  of  Massachusetts.  That  quail  do 
not  always  succumb  to  exceptional  cold  appears  from 
the  fact  that  in  Susquehanna  county.  Pa.,  at  an  alti- 
tude of  2,000  feet,  W.  W.  Cooke  found  a  covey  of  a 
dozen  bobwhites  apparently  in  the  best  of  condition 
on  December  9,  1902,  though  a  foot  of  snow  covered 
the  ground  and  the  thermometer  stood  at  20  degrees 
below  zero. 

A  study  of  the  winter  habits  of  the  bobwhite  by  the 
writer  in  the  vicinity  of  Washington,  D.  C,  so  far  has 
yielded  only  fragmentary  results.  In  February,  1900, 
after  a  foot  of  snow  had  fallen,  in  a  careful  two  days' 
search  he  failed  to  discover  even  a  track  of  a  large 
covey  that  usually  frequented  river  flats  along  the 
Potomac  at  Marshall  Hall.  The  birds  must  have  been 
under  the  snow  or  back  in  the  timber.  At  Falls 
Church.  Va.,  after  a  lighter  fall  of  snow,  he  saw  a 
covey  of  five  moving  among  the  briers  on  the  edge 
of  a  wood,  and  their  fresh  tracks  showed  that  they 
had  been  feeding  systematically  on  rose  hips,  but  had 
not  ventured  from  cover.  At  Cabin  John  Bridge,  Md., 
after  a  snowfall  of  several  inches  his  dog  pointed  six 
birds  on  the  south  side  of  a  river  bluff,  where  the 
sun  had  melted  holes  in  the  snow.  On  one  of  these 
bare  spots  he  saw  two  birds,  which  rose  and  were 
joined  by  four  others.  The  covey  had  made  wallows 
two  inches  deep  in  the  leaf  mold  on  the  bare  spots. 
All  the  birds  had  avoided  stepping  on  the  snow.  At 
hand  was  such  food  as  the  berries  of  sumac  and  the 
seeds  of  Galactia  volubilis  and  Chamaechrista  faseicu- 
laris.  Examination  of  the  droppings  indicated  that 
less  than  one-tenth  of  the  food  had  been  animal  mat- 
ter, the  remains  of  which  consisted  of  ants,  the  tibiae 
of  grasshoppers,  the  spotted  cuticle  of  soldier  bugs, 
and  the  cowhorn-like  mandibles  of  spifiers.  So  far  as 
could  be  made  out,  theremains  of  ^vegetable  food  con- 
sisted of  the  skin  of  kernels  of  corn,  fragments  of  the 
akenes  of  ragweed,  and  pulverized  bits  of  sumac  seeds 
(Rhus  copallina),  partridge  pea  (Chamaechrista  fas- 
cicularis),  milk  pea,  (Galactia  volubilis),  and  crown- 
beard  (Verbesina),  besides  unidentified  leaf  material. 
The  weather  had  been  severe  for  more  than  a  week, 
but  the  birds  were  in  good  condition. 

On  the  Marshall  Hall  farm,  a  short  distance  back 
from  the  banks  of  the  Potomac,  is  a  swamp  that  has 
a  steep  bank  with  a  southern  exposure,  where  there 
is  usually  more  or  less  bare  ground  in  patches.  For 
several  years  bobwhites  have  made  a  winter  haunt  of 
this  warm,  sunny  bank,  and  here  some  interesting 
observations  were  made  Feb.  IS  and  19,  1902,  when 
the  snow  was  from  two  to  four  inches  deep  and  the 
minimum  temperature  was  4  degrees  F.  above  zero. 
A  covey  had  spent  the  night  of  Feb.  17,  not  on  the 
warm  bank,  comparatively  bare  of  snow,  but  on  the 
level  above  the  bank,  where  they  had  squatted  on  the 
snow  under  a  dewberry  bush  among  broomsedge. 
Their  feet  and  droppings  had  melted  the  snow,  and 
subsequent  freezing  had  formed  an  icy  ring.  The 
birds  had  not  flown  thither,  but  had  walked  from  tht. 
swamp  up  the  steep  bank  and  through  the  broom- 
sedge  level.  The  next  morning  they  had  flown  from 
the  roost  to  the  steep  slope,  had  run  along  the  edge 
of  the  swamp  to  a  bushy,  tree-bordered  stream,  then 
up  its  north  bank  for  300  yards  and  back  on  the  south 
bank,  and  thence  to  the  steep,  sunny  slope  again.  On 
their  journey  they  had  gone  under  every  matted  tangle 
of  cat-brier  vines — possibly  for  berries,  but  more 
probably  for  protection.  At  one  point  they  had  fed 
freely  on  sumac  berries.  The  tracks  of  a  fox  were 
found  with  those  of  the  birds  for  about  100  yards. 
In  the  morning  of  the  19th  they  traveled  not  more 
than  200  yards,  this  chiefly  among  outstanding  wil- 
lows and  alders  of  the  swamp  and  along  the  belt  of 
land  five  to  twenty  yards  between  the  boundary  fence 
and  the  reeds  of  the  swamp.  In  one  place  two  pairs 
of  birds  had  walked  so  near  together  as  to  cross  one 
another's  tracks;  two  single  birds  had  made  clear 
of  tracks  on  one  side  of  them,  and  a  single  bird 
had  walked  alone  on  the  other  side  from  one  to  four 
feet  from  his  nearest  companion.     All   had  evidently

An  article  in  the  American  Field,  Feb.   25,   1899, 
the   well   known   sportsman,   John   Bolus,   of  Woost 
O..   illustrates   the  hardiness  of  the  bobwhite.     Wb 
several  inches  of  snow  were  on   the  ground  and  1 
thermometer  registered  from   15   to  27   degrees  belt 
zero  every  night  for  a  week,  Mr.  Bolus  took  a  tn 
to  see  how  the  birds  had  fared.     He  found  no 
birds,  but  saw  six  thrifty  coveys— eighty-one  birc_ 
all.     They  were   feeding  on   ragweed   projecting  frc 
the   snow,    and   were  jumping   up   to   reach    seeds 
sprays    above    their    heads.      Some    coveys    remain 
under  shelter  of  little  weed  patches,  but  others  rang 
over  the  more  open  fields. 

In  Maryland  and  Virginia  large  land  owners  o: 
feed  their  birds  in  severe  weather.  Wheat  and  co 
are  the  best  food,  and  should  be  scattered,  if  possib

Bobwhites  have  been  known  to  feed  with  chickens

having  eaten  from  50  to  300  berries  each.  A  simil

In  the  Eastern  and  Southern  States  land  that  will  I

The  use  of  the  mowing  machine,   so  destructive 
eggs  and  young  birds,  should  be  avoided  when  possit 
during   the   breeding   season.     Wheat     for   the     bir 
should   be   sown   in   long   strips   not    over   fifty   yar 
"wide.     The  best  of  the  grain   may  be   harvested  a:

growth  of  ragweed  will  generally  spring  up — a  perfe

hence  the  need  of  sumac  or  bayberry.     In  regions  t 
dry  for  ragweed   to   grow  in   the   stubble,   sun  flow* 
are  an  excellent  substitute.     Sorghum,  millet  and  po 
sibly  panicum  may  be  planted  and  left  standing.    Po

COAST   FIELD   TRIALS. 


Second  forfeits  for  the  Pacific  Coast  Derby  were 
paid  November  1st  on  nominations  of  twenty-two 
English  Setters,  one  Irish  Setter  and  fifteen  Pointers, 
just  eight  dogs  less  than  were  originally  nominated. 
One  of  the  young  Setters  -withdrawn  was  Chas.  N. 
Post's  De   Charney    (Petrel's   Count-Moxy  Danstone), 

,  bred  by  W.  J.  Baughn.  Second  forfeits  were  paid 
last  year  on  sixteen  English  Setters  and  thirteen 
Derby  nominations.  The  Derby  last  January  had  a 
field  of  seventeen  starters.     Out  of  the  total  of  thirty- 

|  eight  second  payment  entries  the  indications  are 
strong  for  a  much  larger  number  of  starters  than  at 
the    last   trials.      Entries    for   the    All-Age    stake   will

Kennel    Notes. 

We  are  in  receipt  from  Englewood  Kennels.  Camp- 
bell, Cal.,  of  an  artistic  circular  descriptive  of  their 
Collies  and  Bull  Terriers.  Among  the  announcements 
Ch  Hanover  Monarch,  winner  of  eighteen  firsts  and 
specials  and  a  producing  sire,  is  offered  in  the  stud 
at  a  very  moderate  fee  for  so  good  a  dog.  Some 
good  brood  bitches  and  puppies  are  offered  at  bargain 
prices. 

Glen  Tana  Kennels,  Spokane,  Wash.,  have  forwarded 
us  a  tempting  circular  descriptive  of  bargains  in  Col- 
lie puppies.  Fourteen  of  their  best  brood  bitches 
have  recently  whelped.  The  youngsters  are  royally 
bred  and  worth  developing.  The  G.  T.  Kennels  won 
three  silver  cups,  eight  first  and  two  second  prizes 
at  the  recent  Spokane  show. 

Wm  Ellery's  good  Collie  bitch  Southport  Sphinx 
recently  whelped  a  litter  of  eight  (3  dogs)  to  his 
Southport  Philosopher.  Both  dam  and  sire  are  well 
known  to  the  local  fancy  and  were  imported  by  Mr 
Ellery  this  year. 

J  I  Sparrow  reports  expected  litters  from  several 
good  bitches  recently  served  by  the  Silkwood  Kennels' 
stud   dog  Croydon   Czar 


from  an  artistic  point  of  view,  are  no  doubt  the  causes 
of  his  popularity,  as  such  eccentricities  of  form  are 
not  found  in  any  other  animal.  At  the  same  time, 
the  modern  Bulldog  is  kindly  and  affectionate,  with 
a  peculiar  method  of  pushing  his  huge  head  into  the 
hands  of  his  master  that  is  particularly  endearing. 
Perhaps  in  no  other  animal  is  there  a  better  represen- 
tation of  natural  habits  and  disposition  being  changed 
by  its  surroundings  than  in  the  Bulldog.  Originally 
used  for  a  brutal  purpose,  his  savageness  and  fer- 
ocity were  encouraged,  with  the  result  so  well  known 
and  of  which  so  many  stories  are  told.  With  the  dis- 
continuance of  bull-baiting,  he  has  been  kept  as  a 
companion,  his  ferocity  being  allowed  to  remain  dor- 
mant for  generations,  until  it  has  now  pretty  well  dis- 
appeared altogether. 

It  is  unusual  to  find  an  ill-dispositioned  Bulldog 
nowadays,  and  he  has  gradually  drifted,  as  it  were, 
into  a  docile  companion,  a  favorite  of  the  ladies,  and 
a  playmate  for  the  children,  as  the  many  popular 
pictures  seen  at  the  present  time  in  the  print  show 
windows  prove.  Shows,  dog  clubs,  and  literature  have 
done  much  for  Great  Britain's  national  dog.  and  under 
a  regime  of  them  he  has  become  the  most  valuable 
of  the  canine  race,  although  at  times  the  prices  paid 
for  a  specimen  have  been  exaggerated.  Still,  a  tip- 
top dog  will  easily  raise  £  500,  and  if  particularly  well 
placed  £S00  or  £1000  may  be  procured  for  one  with 
the  elements  of  a  champion  about  him.  Whether  any 
purely  fancy  dog  is  worth  so  much  is  a  matter  of 
opinion,  although  there  is  an  adage  to  the  effect  that 
anything  is  worth  as  much  as  it  will .  bring.  Still, 
it  seems  odd  that  such  a  creature  as  a  Bulldog,  that 
cannot  give  actual  pleasure  to  anyone  but  its  owner, 
is  worth  as  much  or  more  than  a  pack  of  Foxhounds, 
and  double  as  much  as  a  winner  in  embryo  of  the 
Waterloo  Cup.  the  running  of  which  affords  amuse- 
ment to  tens  of  thousands,  and  is  the  means  of 
turning  over  vast  sums  of  money.  Such  comparisons 
area  ready  examples  of  the  peculiarity  that  can  pre- 
vail  in  our  customs  of  sport.

PROFITABLE  TYPES  OF   LIGHT 
HORSES. 


(Dr     George    M.    Rommel,    Bureau    o£ 
.  Animal  Industry.  U.  S.  Department  of 
,     Agriculture,  before  the  Pennsylvania 
Live   Stock  Breeders'   Association.) 


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

be  no  ring-bone  no  side-bone  or  other 
unsoundness  of  the  feet,  and  in  trw 
hind  legs  no  curb;  no  spavin,  no 
thorough  pin  or  bog-spavin;  of  course, 
he  must  not  be  a  roarer  or  wind-brok- 
en. Now  most  of  those  things  are  un- 
soundnesses that  can  be  readily  detect- 
ed by  any  one  who  is  at  all  competent 
in  judging  horses. 

The  next  point  is  conformation.    The 
conformation  of  the  profitable  horse  is 
one  that  must  be  learned  with  a  great 
deal    of    study.      The    head    should   be 
w-ell     shaped,     neat,     clear     cut     and 
straight,    with      breadth     between    the 
eyes,    a    large,    open    nostril,    fine    cut 
muzzle,    and    clean,    firm    lips,    a    full, 
bright    eye,    a    neat,    well    set    ear    of 
medium    size,    a   clean    cut,    open    jaw, 
with   a  wide   angle  between   the   jaws, 
that    is,    the    jaws    should    be    set    out 
rather    than    in;    the   jaws    should    not 
extend  so  far  back  that  when  a  curb 
bit  is  put  on  the  horse  the  jaw  itself 
will   press    against   the   wind-pipe   and 
interfere  with  his  breathing.    We  must 
have   a   clean    cut   throttle,    a   necK   v.. 
good  length,   clean  cut  and  well  mus- 
cled, a  clean  cut  wind-pipe,  high  with- 
ers,   and    a    sloping    shoulder    without 
any  tendency  to   meatiness.      The  arm 
should  be  thrown  well  back,  the  fore- 
arm   long,      well      muscled,      and    flat; 
knees    good-sized,    cannon      clean      cut 
and  strong,   with   tendon  well   defined; 
straight  fetlocks,  sloping  pasterns,  feet 
of  fair  size,  with  dense  horn,  with  high 
and  wide  -heels. 

Now,   that  a  short  back  is   a   some- 
thing  that    will    fool    a   beginner    in    a 
good    many    instances,    because   if    the 
horse  has  a  straight  shoulder  his  back 
is   going   to   look   longer.        The     back 
must    be    short,    strong    and    straight, 
with  the  ribs   deep  and   well   rounded, 
the  chest  deep  and  the  loins  broad  and 
strong.      In    the    hind    quarters    there 
must  be  good  breadth  of  croup,  which 
should  be  straight  rather  than  strong, 
the    quarters    should   be   well    rounded, 
smooth,    well    muscled    and    muscular, 
the  thighs  long,  with  open  angles,  the 
lower   thighs   should   be  long  and   well 
muscled.     The  hock— the  most  import- 
ant joint  in  the  body— should  be  wide, 
deep    and    clean    cut   in    front;    at    the 
back   the   hock   should    come    up    to    a 
rather   fine    edge.     The   cannon   should 
be  clean  cut,  cordy,  the  tendons  stand- 
ing out  distinctly,  and  the  bone  should 
be  clean.     The  fetlocks  should  be  wide 
and    deep,      pasterns      sloping — not    Sv. 
much    slope    is    necessary    in    the    hind 
pasterns,  as  in  the  front  ones.     To  as- 
certain   the    straightness    of    the.  leg:, 
stand  immediately  in  front  of  the  ani- 
mal and  drop  an  imaginary  plumb  line 
from    the   point    of     the      shoulder;    It 
should    divide    the   leg   from   the   knee 
down.     At    the    side    a    line    from    the, 
center   of   the   arm   should   fall   en    in* 
center  of  the  foot.    A  line  dropped  from 
behind  the  point  of  the  buttock  should 
bisect  leg  from  this  point  down;    from 
the    side    this    line    should    touch    the 
back   and    coincide      with    the    cannon 
throughout  its  length. 

The  point  of  quality  is  extremely  im- 
portant and  hard  to  describe  because  it 
is  a  very  intangible  thing.  The  horse 
should  have  a  clean  cut  appearance 
throughout;  there  should  be  a  clean- 
ness of  bone,  no  meatiness  below  the 
knee  and  hock  or  around  the  shoulder. 
The  head  should  be  clean  cut,  and  he 
should  have  a  general  well-bred  ap- 
pearance. His  skin  should  be  moder- 
ately fine  and  the  hair  soft. 

The  point  of  action  is  the  next  in 
importance.  Action  Is  extremely  ».. 
portant  in  light  horses.  It  should  be 
straight  and  true.  At  the  trot  it 
should  be  what  is  known  as  the  straight 
line  trot,  no  wabbling  from  one  side  to 
the  other  or  swinging  the  feet.  The 
action  from  behind  should  be  straight, 
the  feet  picked  up  smartly,  hocks  well 
flexed,  and  the  feet  of  both  fore  and 
hind  legs  at  each  step  placed  immedi- 
ately in  front  of  the  former  position. 

Style  is  of  the  highest  important, 
and  this  is  generally  indicated  by  the 
way  in  which  he  carries  his  head,  the 
general  appearance  of  smartness,  of 
good  disposition  and  nerve. 

Then  we  have  the  point  of  manners. 
No  horse  is  going  to  sell  well  in  any 
of  these  classes  that  is  not  well  man- 
nered or  shows  that  he  has  had  no  edu- 
cation. I  do  not  mean  by  that  that  he 
should  lack  spirit,  because  he  must  have 
spirit,  but  he  should  have  been  taught 
how  to  behave  himself  in  the  case  of 
emergency.  This  is  especially  true  in 
the  cases  of  horses  that  are  sold  for 
city  use.  A  great  many  horses  are  very 
sharply  discriminated  against  on  this 
point.

HELPFUL    THINGS    FOR    ANIMALS. 

:     1  cibinet  for  the   I 
Sly  is  no   unusual    thing  to  find  in   the 
farmer's       househ.  Id,       but       anoth  r, 
ne    may    find    necessary    ar- 

,.      when  animals  are  sick 
.    Is    a    thing     rare     indeed. 
Mal;.  animal   to  get  well  as 

u  can:  another  calls  In  a  vetenn- 
i.     Boih  are  expensive  methods  of 
righting    a    wrong,    or    happening,    and 
the    first    comes    under    the    head    of 
iiy    to    animals."        Animals,    and 
nors.  ,,  are  even  more  liable 

to  accident  than  ourselves.  This  has 
been  noticeably  so.  since  the  intro- 
duction of  barb-wire  fences.  Cattle 
ikewisc  suffer  much  from  barb-wire 
cuts.  To  saj  that  "it  is  good  enougn 
for  them,"  when  an  animal  comes  up 
at  night,  torn  and  bleeding,  is  both  an 
ignorant    and    cruel   way   of  looking  at 

Though  many  dumb  crea- 
tures display  intelligence  than  many 
of  the  people  that  own  them  it  is  not 
,N,,.  that    an    animal    is    going    to 

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


Feed  oats  and  clover  to  the  colts 
that  are  being  weaned.  Avoid  the 
corn  ration  in  the  fall.  The  feed  re- 
quired is  one  that  will  build  up  the 
bone   and    muscular   system. 


In  buying  cattle  for  feed,  refuse  the 
leggy,  thin-flanked,  narrow-ended, 
tight-hided  cattle,  Better  sell  your  ex- 
tra com  at  home  than  to  feed  such 
animals  at   any   price. 


In  feedling  horses,  bear  in  mind  that 
It  Is  the  amount  of  food  digested  not 
eaten  thai  gives  the  horse  strength. 


Raise    all    the    feed   you    can    on    the 
farm   and   buy  only   those  feeds  neces-

TO     DRESS    POULTRV 


Poultry    should    not    be    fed    i. 
hours   before   killing.     A   full   crop 
jures    the    appearance    of    the    dress> 
bird    and    is    liable    to    sour    and    low

always   be    killed   by    bleeding    in    the 
mouth,  or  by  opening-  the  veins  in  the 
neck,  then  hang  by  the  feet  until  they

WITH  THE  LIVE  S 


Keep  the  pigs  growing  a: 
possible,  unless  intended  f( 
stock. 

The   most    extravagant    ec 
the  breeder  is  the  use  of  a 
That  *the  bull  is  half  the  here, 
tainly    true    and    this    fact    is    b 
home  to   the  breeder   every  day. 

Did  you  know  that  in  bady  beef 
Auction  that  well  finished  baby 
heifers  bring  as  high  prices  on 
markets  as  do  steers?  This  is 
true  when  maturity  is  reached, 
friend  of  ours  fits  several  car  loat 
"baby  heifers  each  fall  and  doe 
cheaper  and  makes  more  profit  tha- 
feeding   baby   beef   steers. 

We  feel  it  our  duty  to    urge    ev 
farmer    to     include     among     his     fai 
stock  a  few  head   of  pure   bred   catti 
or  hogs.     It   costs  no   more   to  keep   a 
pure    bred    than    a    scrub    animal.      If 
you    have   a  bank  account   and   scrubs 
exchange  some  of  the  bank  account  for 
a  few  pure  breds.     It  will  pay  a  largei 
interest   on  your  money   than  you   are 
now  receiving". 

Hay  and  corn  being  the  most  plenti- 
ful foods  on  the  farms  are  as  a  rule 
too  liberally  fed  by  the  farmer  who 
wishes  to  treat  his  horses  with  kind- 
ness. Farm  work  horses  should  be 
fed  just  that  amount  of  hay  which 
they  will  clean  up  readily.  They 
should  be  fed  in  the  morning  after 
watering,  and  before  grain.  At  noon 
in  hot  weather  when  much  work  is  to 
be  done  hay  should  be  withheld  or 
out  a  pound  or  two  be  given  after  a 
sip  of  water  and  while  horse  is  cooi- 
ng before  getting  noon  feed  of  grain. 

:ed  at  night  liberally  after  the  gram 
'at ion  has  been  fully  masticated.  Hay 
should  be  of  good  quality  and 
vprinkled,  if  dusty.  The  amount  of 
lay  fed  should  be  increased  as  work 
lecreases  as  in  the  winter  when  hay 
•ation  may  be  doubled  as  the  grain  is 

:creased. — Successful   Farming. 


THE    PRECOCIOUS    PULLET. 


[■  A  prominent  poultry  breeder  says 
iat  the  pullet  that  commences  to  lay 
le 'earliest  in  life  is  the  one  that  lays 
largest  number  of  eggs  through 
'.te,  as  cattle  that  have  the  milk-pro- 
ucing  organs  active  earliest  make  the 
:  est  cows.  Select  the  fast  growing, 
arly  matured  specimens,  that  present 
1  full  the  type  and  size  found  in  the 
reed,  and  use  only  these  as  breeders, 
nd  the  egg  producing  merits  will  be 
lcreased.  It  is  care  and  attention  to 
:ie  flock  that  finds  and  secures  these 
iierits  in  the  progeny.  Neglect  and 
aphazard  breeding  never  pay.  If  you 
Jive  pullets  that  are  laying,  you  may 
1 2  certain  that  they  are  the  ones  that 
1 3u  should  breed  from  next  spring. 
Kark  them  with  distinguishing  bands 
ji  that  you  may  know  them  when  the 
'reeding    season    arrives.

STAKE    YOUR    FOALS.      The    man    who    builds    a 

le  house  and  then  fails  to  insure  it,  is  always  ac- 

ised  of  a  lack  of  sense  if  it  burns  down,  although  he 

ay  have  sympathy  extended  from  all  sides.     "He  is 

I  good  fellow  and  we  feel  sorry  for  him,  but  he  dis- 

ayed  poor  judgment  in  not  taking  out  an  insurance

ANOTHER  SON  of  Beautiful  Bells  is  dead.  Mon- 
bells,  her  foal  of  1897,  and  the  last  of  the  wonderful 
old  mare's  produce,  died  suddenly  at  the  farm  of  his 
owner,  Harry  W.  Orr  of  Reading,  Pa.,  Tuesday  night, 
Nov.  14th.  Monbells  was  sold  at  the  Old  Glory  sale 
of  1903,  being  consigned  by  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm, 
and  was  knocked  down  to  Mr.  Orr  for  the  absurdly 
low  price  of  $900.  It  is  said  that  Mr.  Orr  had  just 
bargained  to  sell  Monbells  to  Mr.  E.  L.  Featherstone 
at  a  price  many  times  larger  than  he  paid  for  him, 
and  on  Mr.  Featherstone's  man  reaching  the  farm  to 
take  the  horse  he  found  he  had  died  the  night  pre- 
vious. Monbells  was  sired  by  Mendocino  and  was 
the  eighteenth  and  last  foal  of  his  famous  dam.  He 
was  worked  a  little  as  a  four-year-old  by  Chas.  A. 
Durfee  and  given  a  record  of  2:23%  at  San  Jose, 
making  the  tenth  performer  to  be  produced  by  the 
daughter  of  The  Moor.  While  the  sons  of  Beautiful 
Bells  have  been  wonderful  producers,  death  has  deci- 
mated their  ranks,  Monbells  being  the  fourth  to  die 
at  an  early  age.  Adbell  died  last  year,  and  St.  Bell 
and  Bell  Boy  both  died  at  early  ages.  Monbells  left 
a  few  well  bred  sons  and  daughters  in  California, 
several  very  promising  young  trotters  being  amongst 
them.  That  he  would  have  been  a  great  sire  of  ex- 
treme speed  and  added  fame  to  the  already  famous 
family  had  he  lived  is  certain  and  his  death  is  a  loss 
to  the  breeders  of  the  trotting  horse.

DR.  WILLIAM  FINLAW,  one  of  the  leading  phy- 
||  plans  of  Sonoma  county  for  the  past  thirty  years, 
ed  at  his  home  at  Santa  Rosa  on  Friday  evening  of 
st  week.  Dr.  Finlaw  was  born  in  New  Jersey  on 
me  15,  1839.  He  studied  medicine  in  Philadelphia 
id  afterwards  in  Columbia  College,  New  York.  Lat- 
he entered  the  army  and  served  four  years  during 
e  Civil  War.  He  was  a  prisoner  of  war  for  nine 
onths.  He  afterwards  served  on  General  Sanborn's 
aff  during  an  Indian  campaign.  At  the  close  of  the 
Dr.  Finlaw  remained  as  a  surgeon  in  the  United 
:es  army  for  some  time  and  then  resigned  from 
_  service  and  engaged  in  the  private  practice  of 
s  profession  as  a  physician  and  surgeon  in  Junction 
Kansas.  Some  thirty  years  ago  Dr.  Finlaw 
■ed  to  California  and  Santa  Rosa  and  was  actively 
ged  in  practice  up  to  the  time  of  his  death. 
ile  stationed  at  Fort  Riley,  Kansas,  in  1865,  Dr. 
tw  was  married  to  Miss  Anna  Love  Snyder,  the 
who  survives  him.  Dr.  Finlaw  was  an  ardent 
lirer  of  a  good  horse,  and  years  ago  established 
Rose  Dale  Stock  Farm,  just  outside  the  limits  of 
city  of  Santa  Rosa.  He  purchased  the  stallion 
2:15,  and  afterwards  St.  Whips,  a  son  of  the 
itioneer  stallion  Whips.  A  few  years  ago  he 
rht  the  handsome  stallion  Washington  McKinney 
placed  him  at  the  head  of  his  stud.  Dr.  Finlaw 
quite  a  number  of  standard  performers,  but 
lorn  raced  any  of  the  products  of  his  farm.  Among 
e  record  horses  bred  at  the  Rose  Dale  Farm  were 
imnie  N.  B.  2:17,  Favor  2:211,4,  Clatawa  2:21.  Digi-

F.    H.    JERMYN    PURCHASES   THE    BUTTLER 
FARM. 


Last  week  Mr.  F.  H.  Jermyn,  a  wealthy  coal  opera- 
tor of  Scranton,  Pa.,  who  has  spent  the  best  part  of 
three  winters  in  California  concluded  the  purchase 
from  James  Butler  of  New  York,  of  the  farm  known 
to  most  residents  of  this  section  as  the  Valensin  Farm, 
near  Pleasanton.  The  farm  comprises  160  acres  of 
land  and  was  the  home  of  the  famous  stallion  Sidney, 
when  that  horse  was  owned  by  the  late  Count  Yaleu- 
sin,  who  used  the  place  as  a  horse  breeding  farm, 
and  bred  thereon  many  champion  colt  trotters  and 
pacers.  After  Mr.  Valensin's  death  the  property 
passed  to  Mr.  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez,  who  changed  its 
name  to  Merriwa  Stock  Farm  and  established  his 
Australian  thoroughbred  thereon,  for  whom  the  farm 
was  named.  Mr.  Lopez  also  engaged  in  the  breeding 
of  trotters,  owning  the  stallion  James  Madison  2:17%. 
Two  years  ago  James  Butler,  the  millionaire  grocer  of 
New  York,  and  owner  of  East  View  Farm,  bought  the 
place,  and  after  stocking  it  with  a  few  brood  mares 
and  colts,  concluded  that  it  was  "too  far  from  the 
Bowery"  and  for  the  past  year  it  has  been  for  sale, 
the  price  asked  being  $32,000.  The  amount  paid  for  it 
by  Mr.  Jermyn  is  not  stated,  but  was  probably  a 
little  below  that  figure.  Negotiations  in  regard  to 
the  purchase  of  the  property  have  been  carried  on 
for  Mr.  Jermyn  for  several  months  by  Mr.  S.  Chris- 
tianson  of  this  city,  and  on  Mr.  Jermyn's  arrival  here 
a  few  days  ago  the  sale  was  consummated.  We  un- 
derstand it  is  the  new  owner's  intention  to  greatly 
improve  the  property,  build  a  fine  residence  on  the 
site  of  the  old  house  and  to  remodel  and  reconstruct 
the  stables.  He  will  ship  here  from  Scranton  a  num- 
ber of  his  trotters  and  pacers,  including  several  val- 
uable brood  mares,  and  some  young  prospects,  and 
will  make  of  the  place  an  ideal  breeding  farm,  on 
which  he  will  breed  a  few  trotters  according  to  his 
own  ideas  and  principally  for  his  own  pleasure.  Mr. 
Jermyn  has  many  friends  in  California  who  will  wish 
him  every  success  in  his  venture. 


TWO  IMPORTANT  CONTRIBUTIONS  to  irriga- 
tion literature  have  recently  been  printed  for  free 
distribution  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company.  The 
first  is  an  address  made  by  Mr.  J.  B.  Lippincott, 
supervising  engineer  Reclamation  Service  United 
States  Geological  Survey,  before  the  irrigation  com- 
mittees of  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives, 
while  at  Red  Bluff  last  June.  The  second  is  a  reprint 
of  an  article  on  "Irrigated  Agriculture"  by  Profes- 
sor Samuel  Fortier,  in  charge  of  the  Pacific  district 
of  the  Irrigation  and  Drainage  Investigations,  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture.  The  first  is  a  re- 
port of  a  careful  investigation  of  the  water  sources 
adaptable  to  irrigating  the  great  Sacramento  Valley, 
and  contains  much  valuable  information.  The  second 
is  a  careful,  expert  estimate  of  the  land  in  California 
available  for  irrigation,  the  streams  which  can  be 
utilized,  the  need  of  industrious  and  intelligent  set- 
tlers, the  cost  of  preparing  the  land  for  irrigation, 
the  errors  made  by  beginners,  such  as  the  use  of 
too  much  water,  the  value  of  pumping  plants,  and 
a  conservative  estimate  of  the  results  which  may  be 
expected  from  a  judicious  use  of  water,  judged  by 
what  has  already  been  accomplished.  Both  pamph- 
lets are  handsomely  illustrated. 


MR.  M.  W.  SAVAGE,  principal  owner  and  manager 
of  the  International  Stock  Food  Company,  paid  $21,000 
for  the  champion  trotting  stallion  Cresceus  2:02%  at 
the  Old  Glory  Sale  last  Tuesday.  Mr.  Savage  now 
owns  five  champion  stallions — Cresceus  2:02%.  Direc- 
tum 2:05%,  and  Arion  2:07%,  all  trotters,  and  Dan 
Patch  1.55,  and  Roy  Wilkes  2:06y2,  both  pacers.  All 
these  stallions  have  held  champion  records  and  Cres- 
ceus and  Dan  Patch  are  now  the  undisputed  cham- 
pion stallions  at  their  respective  gaits.  Mr.  Savage 
has  exercised  excellent  judgment  in  adding  Cresceus 
to  his  group  of  great  horses.  In  the  hands  of  such 
a  progressive  and  energetic  owner  Cresceus  will  pay 
a  big  profit  on  the  investment. 


THE  OLD  GLORY  SALE  began  a  I  New  York  last 
Monday,  and  from  the  meagre  dispatches  received  so 
far  it  is  evident  that  the  horses  are  bringing  a  high 
average.  Cresceus  2:02%  was  sold  on  Tuesday,  going 
to  the  bid  of  Mr.  M.  W.  Savage  of  Minneapolis  for 
$21,000.  On  Wednesday  Czarina  Dawson  2:08% 
brought  $10,000  and  Morning  Star  2:04%  by  Star 
Pointer  sold  for  $10,500.  The  total  sales  for  Wednes- 
day reached  $122,755  for  101  head,  an  average  of  over 
$1000.  A  complete  report  of  the  sale  will  begin  in 
our  next  week's  issue. 


ANSWERS    TO    CORRESPONDENTS. 


RAY  DITTUS,  Sacramento— A  horse  bred  as  stated 
in  your  letter  would  be  eligible  provided  his  dam  is 
registered  and  not  otherwise.  If  the  mare  is  not 
registered  now  it  is  doubtful  if  she  could  be  until  she 
has  produced  two  standard  performers.  The  Year 
Books  do  not  show'that  Tarn  O'Shanter  by  Noonday 
ever  -sired  a  standard  performer. 

O.  &  F.,  Forestville — Silas  Skinner  2:17  was  foaled 
in  1SS5.  He  is  the  sire  of  Ole  2:10%.  None  of  his 
daughters  have  produced  a  standard  performer  so  far 
Belden,  whose  dam  is  by  Silas  Skinner,  has  worked 
Belden,  whose  dam  was  by  Silas  Skinner,  has  worked 
well  authenticated  trials  in  2:13%.  Alcona,  Jr.,  sire 
of  Silas  Skinner,  is  also  sire  of  the  pacer  Graceful 
George  2:23.  The  dam  of  Alcona,  Jr.,  was  Ma- 
donna by  Cassius  M.  Clay  22,  second  dam  by  Joe 
Downing.  The  breeding  of  the  second  dam  of  Alcona 
730  has  never  been  traced. 


Edmond  S.,  one  of  the  fastest  green  trotters  in 
Southern  California,  broke  a  bone  in  his  leg  while 
being  worked  at  the  Los  Angeles  track  last  Saturday. 
The  track  was  wet  and  in  bad  shape  from  the  rain. 
The  horse  was  going  about  a  2:24  gait  when  it  hap- 
pened. Edmond  S.  was  sired  by  Zombro  2:11,  and  is 
owned  by  Mr.  William  Morgan  of  Pasadena.  He  was 
being  driven  by  Frank  Williams.  Edmond  S.  is  one 
of  Zombro's  first  crop  of  colts  and  two  weeks  ago 
worked  two  heats  in  2:15%  and  2:15,  and  Mr.  Wil- 
liams said  he  could  step  in  2:13  and  probably  better- 
Mr.  Morgan  has  another  good  Zombro  in  Era.  a  four- 
year-old  mare  that  worked  a  mile  last  Monday  in 
2:16,  and  her  trainer  thinks  she  can  2:12  right  now. 
and  says  she  will  reach  2:10  next  year,  so  the  green 
trotters  will  have  to  go  some  to  beat  her.  In  her  mile 
in  2:16  she  trotted  the  last  half  in  1:07%,  and  the  last 
quarter  in  33  seconds.  Mr.  Morgan  has  been  very- 
unlucky  with  his  horses  this  year.  His  mare  Una  K. 
2:14  by  McKinney  trotted  a  nice  mile  in  2:12  about  a 
month  ago  but  is  now  quite  lame.  She  is  a  very  fast 
mare  and  when  just  right  could  get  into  the  2:10  list. 


Mr.  R.  M.  Tobin  of  San  Mateo  attended  a  sale  of 
Alfred  G.  Vanderbilt's  horses  in  New  York  recently 
and  purchased  two  pairs  of  coach  horses,  paying 
$3700  for  them.  The  express  charges  for  shipping 
them  to  California  were  $900,  so  the  two  teams  cost 
him  about  $5000  landed  at  San  Mateo.  These  horses 
are  not  only  well  matched  but  they  are  well  mannered 
and  make  a  good  showing  when  driven  together.  It 
is  the  time  and  money  spent  on  their  education  that 
caused  them  to  sell  for  the  prices  Mr.  Tobin  paid  for 
them. 


Don't  make  up  your  list  of  2:10  performers  until 
after  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  is  over,  and  perhaps  it 
will  be  still  better  to  wait  until  the  Arizona  Terri- 
tory Fair  in  December  has  been  held. 


Bellemont  by  Zombro  reduced  her  record  to  _'  K. ', 
in  ;i  winning  race  at  Los  Angeles  last  Wednesday. 
She  is  only  three  years  old  but  she  beat  a  big  field  of 
aged  horses. 


In  the  2:17  trot  won  by  the  Zombro  three-year-old 
filly  Bellemont  at  Los  Angeles  Wcdn-sdny  three  horses 
equally  divided  the  other  three  moneys,  all  being  the 
same  in  the  final  summary.  An  instance  of  this  kind 
is  of  rare  occurrence.

It  should  be  the  policy  of  every  man  who  raises  a 
horse  to  get  as  much  for  him  as  possible,  and  it  will 
pay  every  man  who  has  a  horse  to  sell  to  fit  him  es- 
pecially to  please  the  buyer.  The  majority  do  not 
study  the  matter  of  selling  horses  advantageously, 
and  in  consequence  of  this  the  man  who  does  is  in 
a  measure  able  to  avoid  their  competition  and  to  place 
his  produce  in  a  more  commanding  position. 


Mr.  J.  W.  Zibbell  &  Son  have  lately  received  at 
their  stables  on  Eleventh  avenue,  this  city,  a  three- 
year-old  colt  by  Dictatus  that  was  bred  by  James 
"W.  Marshall  of  Dixon  and  sold  to  L.  C.  Swain  of  Vaca- 
ville  when  a  two-year-old.  Louis  Mativia  gave  the 
colt  six  weeks'  work  at  Dixon  and  he  paced  a  mile 
in  2:2S  hitched  to  a  high- wheel  cart.  The  last  quarter 
was  in  34  seconds.  Mr.  Zibbell,  Sr..  who  is  working 
this  colt  on  the  park  roads,  thinks  very  highly  of 
him. 


John  R.  Malloy,  an  oil  inspector  of  Ohio,  was  one 
of  the  persons  who  strenuously  advised  Gov.  Herrick 
to  veto  the  Chisholm  bill  because  it  permitted  betting 
on  horse  races,  which  of  course  was  wicked.  "Well, 
Gov.  Herrick  vetoed  the  bill  and  then  ran  for  Governor 
again.  Mr.  Malloy  did  not  consider  it  wicked  to  bet 
on  elections,  so  he  put  up  nearly  all  the  money  he 
owned  on  his  friend  Herrick  and  lost.  Doubtless  be 
is  now  of  the  opinion  that  it  is  just  as  wicked  and 
foolish  to  bet  on  a  poor  candidate  as  it  i-s  on  a  poor 
horse. 


Mr.  Martin  Carter,  proprietor  of  the  Nutwood  Stock

of  Bonnie   Direct   2:05%    and  Bonsilene    2:14%.      Mr. 
Carter  purchased  Bonnie  Derby  at  the  sale  of  horses 
owned  by  the  estate  of  the  late  Millen   Griffith  with 
a   of  breeding  her  to   Nutwood  Wilkes  2:16%. 
Luckily  she  produced  a  filly,  now  a  yearling,  which  is 
very  promising.     Bonnie  Derby  was  worked  some  by 
Dr.  Boucher,  who  drove  her  an  eighth  in  15   seconds 
and  thought  very  highly  of  her.     Mr.  Carter  bred  her 
last    spring  to  his  handsome  colt  Lord  Alwin,  an  own 
to  John   A.  McKerron  2:04%,  and  she  was  in 
foal.     It   was  Mr.  Carter's  intention  to  train  her  next

S.  K.  Trefry.  who  owns  one  of  the  best  bred  and 
fastest  sons  of  McKinney  in  California  iri  the  three- 
year-old  colt  Kenneth  C.  2:17,  whose  dam  is  Mountain 
Maid,  dam  of  Tom  Carneal  2:08%,  by  Cresco,  has  a 
new  one  in  his  string  that  is  out  of  the  same  mare. 
This  colt  is  by  Stam  B.  and  he  looks  like  one  that  will 
be  earning  money  as  soon  as  he  grows  up. 


It  is  reported  that  Knap  McCarthy  will  join  the 
ranks  of  the  Eastern  trainers  who  will  winter  in  Cali- 
fornia. Come  on,  gentlemen,  there  is  plenty  of  stall 
room-  plenty  of  horses  and  a  warm  welcome  for  you 
all  in  this  land  of  sunshine,  flowers  and  record  break- 
ers. 


There  is  offered  for  sale  by  an  advertiser  a  five- 
year-old  McKinney  stallion  that  some  breeder  should 
buy  and  place  in  the  stud.  He  is  an  exceptionally 
handsome  horse,  bay  with  black  points  and  not  a 
white  hair,  stands  15.3  and  weighs  1050  pounds.  He 
has  not  been  trained  but  is  naturally  speedy  and  has 
trotted  miles  better  than  2:30  with  quarters  in  35 
seconds.  His  breding  is  very  choice  as  his  dam 
is  by  Dexter  Prince,  second  dam  by  a  well  bred  son 
of  Electioneer  and  third  dam  by  that  good  sire  Mc- 
Donald Chief,  sire  dams  of  Tom  Smith  2.13%, 
Stella  2:15%,  etc.  Such  a  combination  of  blood 
was  certain  to  produce  a  well  turned  hand- 
some individual  which  this  five-year-old  is.  That 
grand  trotting  mare  Nora  McKinney  2:12%  was  out 
of  a  Dexter  Prince  mare,  so  the  cr_oss  is  potent  for 
speed  also,  and  this  young  horse  has  this  qualification 
as  well.  Good  legs  are  a  great  desideratum  in  a 
stock  horse  and  he  has  the  straightest,  cleanest  and 
best  of  legs  without  a  pimple  on  them  His  carriage 
is  splendid  and  his  disposition  perfect,  while  he  is 
one  of  the  sort  that  never  seems  to  get  tired.  He 
should  be  given  a  record  and  put  to  breeding  as 
such  individuals  as  he,  by  McKinney  and  out  of 
a  well  bred  Dexter  Prince  mare,  should  be  making  a 
name  for  himself,  which  he  can  certainly  do  if  given 
a  chance.  For  price  and  further  particulars  address 
this    office.- 


Mules  are  raising  in  value  every  year  and  there  will 
be  many  mares  bred  to  jacks  next  spring.  Mr.  S.  B. 
Wright  of  Santa  Rosa  advertises  a  good  jack  for  sale 
in  this  issue. 


It  is  said  Gil  Curry  will  dispose  of  all  his  thorough- 
bred interests  while  he  is  in  California  this  winter 
and  will  then  return  East,  where  he  will  open  a  public 
training  stable  for  trotters  and  pacers  at  the  Pitts- 
burg track. 


James  Butler  is  not  retiring  from  the  horse  business 
by  any  means.  The  millionaire  New  York  grocer  dis- 
poses of  many  horses  by  auction  every  year.  He  has 
now  about  twenty  bead  at  Pleasanton  under  the  care 
of  Monroe  Salisbury.  It  is  said  Mr.  Butler  made  an 
offer  of  $30,000  for  Direct  Hal  2:04%  recently,  to  fill 
the  vacant  place  at  East  "View  Farm  caused  by  the 
death  of  Direct  2:05%. 


Walter  J.  Snyder,  secretary  of  the  Detroit  Driving 
Club  for  the  past  two  years,  has  connected  himself 
with  John  Splan,  the  well  known  turfman  and  "father" 
of  the  "light  harness  horse"  auction  sale  business. 
They  will  give  their  first  sale  early  in  January,  at  the 
Union  Stock  Yards,  Chicago.  The  firm  will  also  open 
a  new  market  in  Detroit.  It  is  their  intention  to  hold, 
annually,  two  sales;  the  *  first  of  the  New  Year"  sale 
in  Chicago,  in  the  month  of  January,  and  the  "bring 
your  watch"  sale  in  Detroit,  in  the  month  of  May. 
That  this  firm  will  be  a  factor  in  the  field  no  horseman 
questions.  Both  are  well  known  and  popular.  Splan, 
the  "only  Splan,"  has,  undoubtedly,  as  large  an  ac- 
quaintance as  is  enjoyed  by  anyone  in  this  country 
and  abroad.  Mr.  Snyder  is  one  of  the  younger  gener- 
ation, but  what  he  lacks  in  years  is  fully  compensated 
for  by  his  energy,  integrity  and  honesty;  while  his 
acquaintanceship  is  very  large  and  his  friends  numer- 
ous. 


Mark  Twain  has  taken  up  the  cudgels  against  over- 
speeding  autoists,  and  in  a  charasteristic  letter  in 
Harper's  Weekly  he  proposes  a  novel  means  of  detect- 
ing and  punishing  them.  The  law,  he  says,  "dresses 
a  convict  in  a  garb  which  makes  him  easily  distin- 
guishable from  any  moving  thing  in  the  world  at  a 
hundred  and  twenty-five  yards  except  a  zebra.  If  he 
escapes  in  those  clothes  he  cannot  get  far."  He  sug- 
gests that  this  principle  be  extended  to  include  "his 
brother  criminal,  the  Overspeeder,"  who  every  day, 
throughout  America,  runs  over  somebody  and  escapes. 
At  present,  he  points  out.  the  automobile  numbers  are 
so  small  that  ordinary  eyes  cannot  read  them,  upon  a 
swiftly  speeding  machine,  at  a  distance  of  a  hundred 
feet.  He  suggests  enlarging  the  figures,  making  them 
readable  at  a  hundred  yards.  For  offenses  of  over- 
speeding  he  would  have  the  figures  enlarged,  as  a  pen- 
alty in  place  of  a  fine — to  be  re-enlarged  for  each  sub- 
sequent offense.  "With  auto  numbers  readable  as  far 
as  one  could  tell  a  convict  from  a  barber  pole,  none  af 
these  criminals  could  run  over  a  person  and  'escape.'  " 


An  advertiser  has  reasoned  it  out  this  way:  "If  1 
want  to  get  well  acquainted  with  a  man  to  whom  I 
have  been  introduced,  I  speak  to  him  every  time  I 
meet  him.  If  I  spoke  to  him  but  once  and  then 
passed  him  by  without  recognition  the  next  time  I 
saw  him,  and  continued  to  pass  himi  without  speak- 
ing, or  perhaps  speak  to  him  two  or  three  times  a 
year,  we  wouldn't  get  to  know  each  other  very  well. 
That's  the  way  I  look  at  this  advertising  business. 
Y\  hen  I  want  the  dealers  of  a  certain  territory  to  get 
?o  familiar  with  me  that  they  will  think  of  me  when- 
evi  i  they  are  in  need  of  goods  in  my  line,  I  want  to 
speak  to  them  in  every  issue  of  the  paper  they  get." 


Ed.  Geers  is  quoted  as  saying:  "I  never  sat  behi 
a  pacer  that  was  as  fast  as  Walter  Direct.  It  ^ 
no  trouble  for  Walter  to  pace  a  quarter  better  th 
30  seconds,  and  his  going  lame  means  a  big  loss 
me.  Right  now  he  is  as  sound  as  he  ever  was  in  ] 
life,  but  I  hardly  think  I  will  race  him  before  19 
as  I  think  that  a  year's  rest  will  do  him  good,  a 
will  breed  him  next  season  to  a  lot  of  high  ch 
mares.  In  a  few  years  I  think  that  he  will  be  one 
the  greatest  sires  in  the  country.  I  never  saw 
horse  that  was  any  gamer  than  he  is  or  any  faste 


Five  stallions  appear  as  sires  of  the  dams  of  t 
or  more  2:10  performers  whose  records  were  gain 
during  the  year,  namely,  Alcantara  2:23,  sire  of  1 
dams  of  Lady  Sealskin  2:06%  and  Owyho  2.07%,  be 
pacers;  Gossiper  2:14%,  dams  of  Zephyr  2:07%  a 
Zolock  (p)  2:05%;  Happy  Medium,  dams  of  Admi: 
Dewey  2:04%  and  Bonnie  Ailsie  2:0S%;  King  Re 
2:30%,  dams  of  General  Forrest  2: OS  and  M.  J.  Le? 
2:09%,  and  Socrates,  sire  of  Emma  T.,  dam  of  M 
Adbell  (3)  2.09%  and  Emma  Brook  2:09%. 


Onward  2:25%  lacks  but  13  of  having  200  stand 
performers.  It  is  hoped  that  in  this  case  the  13 
not  prove  an  unlucky  number  and  prevent  him  fi 
being  the  first  double-century  sire.  He  has  a  t 
of  194  in  the  2:30  list,  but  seven  of  them  are  pac 
with  records  slower  than  2:25. 


Tony  Bernal's  trotter  Major  Cook,  that  was  ship 
to  Los  Angeles  from  Denver,  will  be  back  in  Pleas 
ton  after  the  close  of  the  Los  Angeles  meeting. 


The  Stam  B.  yearling  that  J.  M.  Alviso  is  hand 
at  Pleasanton  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Director  and  lo 
and    acts    as   good*  as    his    breeding.

Sukey  Mac,  the  two-year-old  filly  by  McKinn 
2.H14,  that  Mr.  R.  P.  M.  Greeley  of  Oakland  has  a

of  the  money  in  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  ne 
year.  She  is  fully  paid  up  on  and  has  paced  a"  quart 
in  35  seconds  with  little  or  no  training  to  speak 
She  is  a  bargain  at  the  price  asked  for  her.  as  she 
a  great  prospect.

race    at    Ferndale,    Humboldt    county,    in    Septe' 
last. 


Several  parties  having  inquired  about  the  Sta: 
filly  advertised  for  sale  in  this  paper  two  weeks 
by  Dr.  J.  p.  Dunn  of  Oakland,  we  will  state  that  s! 
has  been  sold  to  Martin  Carter,  Esq.,  proprietor 
the  Nutwood  Stock  Farm.  Mr.  Carter  read  the  advt 
tisement  and  made  it  his  business  to  go  to  Oakla) 
without  delay  and  call  on  her  owner.  When  he  sa 
the  filly  it  did  not  take  him  long  to  make  up  his  mi) 
and  he  handed  Dr.  Dunn  his  check  for  the  price  ask 
forthwith.  The  filly  is  by  Stam  B.  2:11%,  dam 
McKinney  2:11%,  second  dam  by  Antevolo  2.19: 
third  dam  Fontana,  the  dam  of  Silas  Skinner  2 
etc.,  by  Almont  33.  The  filly  is  a  yearling  and  is  ei 
tered  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity,  Stanford,  Occide 
Stakes  and  Kentucky  Futurity.  While  her  new  own 
will  train  and  race  her  in  the  stakes  in  which  she 
entered  if  she  shows  speed  enough,  he  purchased  h 
for  a  broodmare,  being  particularly  struck  with  h 
breeding  to  mate  with  Nutwood  Wilkes  or  one  of  h 
sons.  The  Nutwood  Wilkes-McKinney  cross  b 
proved  a  successful  one  in  every  instance  as  shov 
by  Tidal  Wave  2:09,  Lady  Mowry  2:12%,  Miss  Georg 
2:10%  and  others.  Through  Stam  B.  the  filly  has 
Happy  Medium  cross,  and  this  blood  also  nicks  su 
cessfully  with  Nutwood  Wilkes,  as  is  shown  by  th 
fast  trotter  Who  Is  It  2:10%,  whose  dam  was  1 
Brigadier,  a  son  of  Happy  Medium.  The  Electione 
strain  in  the  filly's  veins  has  also  been  potent  f 
speed  when  crossed  with  that  of  Nutwood  Wilkes, 
is  shown  by  the  horse  Fran?;  Irvington  2:23%  with 
trial  of  2.14  that  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Anteeo,  ov 
brother  to  Antevolo,  sire  of  this  filly's  second  dai 
Another  Electioneer  strain,  that  of  Albert  W.,  pr 
duced  speed  when  it  met  the  blood  of  Nutwood  Wilke 
as  shown  by  the  fast  trotter  Bob  Ingersol  2 :  14* 
whose  dam  has  already  produced  three  standard  tro 
ters  by  Nutwood  Wilkes.  When  Mr.  Carter  read  tl 
pedigree  of  this  filly  in  the  advertisement  he  was  pa 
ticularly  struck  with  the  fact  that  about  every  stra 
of  blood  in  her  veins  had  proved  a  potent  nick  for  h 
horse,  and  he  wast  d  no  time  in  getting  her.  Sin- 
she  became  his  property  there  have  been  at  least  ha 
a  dozen  persons  inquiring  about  her  and  regrettii 
that  they  did  not  see  her  owner  before  Mr.  Carter  di 


Ed.  Mills  has  taken  the  trotting  stallion  Lee

yearlings  and  weanlings  are  very  handsome  at 
promising  youngsters.  He  is  certain  to  be  a  gre. 
sire.

expects  to  '  leave  Pleasanton  for  Portland  with 
another  week  however,  and  will  return  to  begin  wo;

rHOROUQHBRED    DEPARTMENT. 

By  RALPH  H.  TOZER, 


THOROUGHBRED  DEPARTMENT. 


have   decided  to  race  at  both  the  Crescent  City  and 
City  Park  tracks  during  the  coming  winter. 


(By  Ralph  H.  Tozer.) 
Monday  was  indeed  a  cold  day,  so  cold  that  the 
>lood  of  the  "talent"  was  frozen  in  horror.  Hot  fav- 
>rites  were  second  on  four  occasions,  third  once,  un- 
ilaced  once.  That  was  the  afternoon's  record  that 
vill  go  down  in  the  dope  book  as  a  chapter  of  horrors. 
The  offending  first  choices  were  E.  C.  Runte,  Royal 
logue,  I'm  Joe,  Watercure,  Cloche  d'Or  and  Celeres. 
yf  these  the  Rogue,  Watercure  and  Cloche  d'Or  w^ere 
test,  but  victims  of  bad  luck  or  bad  rides,  sometimes 
joth.  Had  Watercure  hugged  the  rail  turning  for 
Lome  Divina  could  never  have  run  around  him  and 
von,  and  had  Cloche  d'Or  not  been  allowed  to  fall 
,ack  to  last  place  going  the  first  three  furlongs  she 
ould  not  have  lost. 

\Twas  ever  thus  in  manhood's  hour, 

I've  seen  the  rosiest  "dope"  not  pay. 
I  never  dreamed  of  golden  bower 

But  when  I  woke  'twas  yellow  clay. 
I  never  laughed  o'er  figures   "swell," 

To   think  w^hat  bookies'  coin  would  buy, 
But  when  dead  sure  I'd  "give  them  h— 11," 
'Twas    'yours"  that  'got  it"  in  the  eye. 
In   short,    Monday's   looked   like   about   the    "easiest 
ard"    of   the    session,    but    proved    the    hardest.      On 
.aturday  favorites  had  had   their  day,   four   of  them 
nishing  in  front,  one  second  and  the  other  third. 
The    two    handicaps    of    Saturday    were    things    of 
eauty  if  not  joys  forever,  Lady  Goodrich,  San  Nich- 
las    and   Reservation    finishing    so    close    together    in 
ae  mile  and  a  sixteenth  that   any  of  the  trio   could 
ave  been  awarded  the  race  without  arousing  a  snake 
lorus.     In  the  next,  for  two-year-olds,  over  the  Fu- 
lrity  course,   Jennings'   Nagazam  beat  I'm  Joe  by  a 
ood  head  only. 


The  departure  of  the  Rancho  del  Paso  thorough- 
reds  for  New  York  this  week  is  interesting  and  the 
..flowing  Sacramento  dispatch  shows  what  is  going 
)  be  done  with  the  great  ranch  after  the  horses  have 
acated  the  place: 
Sacramento,  Nov.  20. — The  forthcoming  sale  of  the 
-  Haggin  horses  means  the  subdivision  of  the  Haggin 
iinch,  and  practically  the  addition  of  44,000  acres  tu 
le  suburbs  of  Sacramento.  So  far  as  is  publicly 
Inown.  the  owner  adheres  to  his  original  terms  of 
lie;  but  it  is  certain  that  many  negotiations  are  in 
;ie  air  and  are  going  forward.  It  is  also  certain  that 
kme  Eastern  parties  intend  to  start  a  dairy  farm, 
pon  the  ranch  ground,  where  10,000  cows  will  be 
diked  daily,  and  the  promoters  of  this  scheme  are 
ow  in  San  Francisco  upon  the  business. 

■Next  month  Sheepshead  Bay  will  be  the  scene  of 
le  most  notable  sale  of  thoroughbred  horses  in  his- 
ry.  Forty-eight  cars,  containing  twenty-two  stal- 
ons  and  546  brood  mares,  will  start  for  the  East  to- 
orrow,  and  they  will  be  sold  within  six  days  of  their 
.-rival.  Thirty  yearlings  are  to  be  sold  in  San  Fran- 
sco  within  the  next  few  weeks,  and  there  will  then 
2  left  only  some  250  weanlings,  which  will  be  sold 
axt  June  in  New  York  as  yearlings.  Well  nigh  the 
hole  world  has  been  warned  of  this  unprecedented 
ile.  and  dealers  from  England  and  Australia  are  on 
leir  way  with  the  intention  of  securing  such  horses 
s  Star  Ruby,  Golden  Garter,  Watercress,  Miss  Wood- 
ed, Bassetlaw  and  many  others  of  almost  equal  fame, 
.hree-fifths  of  these  horses  are  Haggin  products, 
ed  at  Rancho  del  Paso. 

:ach  year  has  added  to  the  value  of  the  yearlings, 
.1  lately  hardly  one  has  been  sold  under  $800.    The 
es  that  they  will  fetch  are,  of  course,  a  matter  of 
jecture.   but  they  will  be  enormous  and  the  effect 
n  the   racing  world  of  so  great  a  distribution   of 
oughbreds   must  be  very  marked." 
Four   special   trains    (forty-eight   cars   in   all)    -were 
nployed  and  this  is  the  largest  movement  of  thesort 
the   history   of  railroading.     It   is  so   important   in 
,e  eyes  of  the  railroad  people  that  W.  H.   Snedaker, 
the   Illinois    Central,    came    out    to    accompany    the 
dpment  and  see  that  there  were  no  unnecessary  de-

g  this  journey  is  certain,  for  many  of  the  brood 
es  have  never  been  out  of  California  and  therefore 
feel   the   cold  weather   of  the   other   side   of   the 
ra  Nevadas  very  keenly.     The  holding  of  the  sale 
December  is  regarded  on  all  sides  as  bad  judgment. 
;  long  as  they  had  decided  to  sell,  why  not  have  had

smory  serves. 


Ed.  Corrigan  has  refused  an  offer  of  $750,000  from 
e  Western  Jockey  Club  for  his  interest  in  the  Haw- 
orne.  City  Park  and  Kansas  City  tracks.  This  is 
;r  value,  and  as  the  Hawthorne  and  Kansas  City 
urses  are  closed  by  law,  the  offer  was  considered  a 
jry  good  one.  This  is  taken  as  a  sure  indication  that

The  death  of  George  C.  Bennett,  Fred  Cook's  great 
two-year-old  Orsini  colt,  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  last  Sat- 
urday, was  deplored  here  on  all  sides.  Many  consider 
this  half-brother  to  Honiton,  Hainault  and  Gold  Lace 
to  have  been  the  best  two-year-old  out  this  season, 
his  only  rivals  being  Burgomaster  and  Mohawk.  W. 
O'B.  Macdonough  bred  the  youngster  (which  was  a 
big  brown  fellow)  on  his  San  Mateo  county  ranch, 
now  called  Ormondale,  and  sold  him  at  his  yearling 
sale  in  New  York  in  1904  for  $2,200.  Fred  Cook,  of 
St.  Louis,  being  the  purchaser.  Bennett  beat  about 
everything  he  tackled  in  the  South,  and  continued  on 
his  conquering  career  at  the  metropolitan  tracks  of 
the  far  East.  He  contracted  a  cold  there,  and  upon 
being  removed  to  Louisville,  it  developed  into  pneu- 
monia. Thirty  thousand  dollars  had  been  refused 
for  the  colt,  and  Cook  valued  him  at  §45,000,  accord- 
ing to  the  Louisville  dispatch  announcing  Bennett's 
death. 


Radtke,  E.  Robinson,  Loague  and  McBride  appear 
to  be  doing  the  best  riding  at  Emeryville  these  days, 
the  first  named  being  the  riding  marvel  he  was 
claimed  to  be  by  Middle  Western  waiters.  Robinson 
is  not  far  behind  him,  and  Loague  bids  fair  to  follow 
in  the  footsteps*  of  "Skeets"  Martin  and  Hildebrand, 
who  were  considered  so  bad  at  one  time  they  could 
not  get  a  mount,  yet  developed  into  premier  jockeys. 
By  the  way,  Maher  will  finish  second  on  the  riders' 
list  in  England  this  season,  E.  Wheatley,  who  was  an 
apprentice  up  to  a  short  time  ago,  being  in  first  posi- 
tion, Madden  third. 


Next  Tuesday  night's  thoroughbred  sales  (tne 
Macdonough  and  Cameron)  will  be  the  <;event  of  the 
season"  in  this  direction,  in  all  probability,  combining, 
as  it  does,  the  most  fashionably-bred  yearlings,  the 
best  tried  race  horses  and  several  gilt-edged  stud 
matrons.  That  Sir  Wilfred  will  bring  a  sum  in  excess 
of  $7,500  is  the  general  opinion,  while  there  will  be 
some  lively  bidding  for  the  yearlings  by  Ossary,  Or- 
sini, St.  Avonicus  and  St.  Carlo,  a  number  of  the 
youngsters  by  the  last  named  two  being  from  Or- 
monde mares.

here  next  month  some  time.  They  are  by  Cromwell

part  out  of  good  producing  mares.

Tuesday,  on  his  way  from  New  York  to  the  southern 
metropolis.  Indications  are  that  the  Ascot  meeting 
will  be  far  and  away  the  best  ever  held  there.  At  the 
close  of  the  Bennings  meeting  James  McLaughlin,  E.

HORSES   IN    CHINA. 


Special  Agent  Burrill  of  the  United  States  govern- 
ment has  made  a  report  concerning  the  horses  in 
China.  He  did  this  in  response  to  inquiries  of  per- 
sons in  the  United  States  interested  in  breeding 
horses  for  shipment  to  foreign  countries.  It  seems 
there  are  comparatively  few  draft  animals  other  than 
those  raised  in  China,  and  that  nearly  all  imported 
animals  are  brought  from  Australia  Mr.  Burrill  de- 
scribes existing  conditions,  and  is  inclined  to  the  be- 
lief that  there  is  a  fair  field  in  China  for  the  introduc- 
tion of  American  horses  and  mules.  His  letter  on 
this  subject  follows: 

That  there  are  no  American  horses  in  northern 
China  is  probably  due  to  the  fact  that  no  deter- 
mined effort  has  ever  been  made  to  introduce  them, 
and  the  market,  though  limited,  offers  inducements 
of  which  the  American  exporter  might  profitably  take 
advantage.  Practically  all  the  horses  now  in  use  in 
this  part  of  China  are  imported  from  Australia,  for 
no  especial  reason  apparently  other  than  that  the 
Australians  are  keen  traders,  and  with  frequent  con- 
signments, in  the  absence  of  all  competition,  keen 
the  market  well  supplied.  While  foreigners  and  the 
wealthier  class  of  Chinese  are  not  dissatisfied  with 
the  horses  now  imported,  it  does  not  follow  that  they 
are  so  prejudiced  in  their  favor  that  they  would 
not  welcome  an  opportunity  to  compare  them  with 
the  American  grown  animal,  and  horse  dealers  here 
unhesitatingly  express  the  belief  that  horses  bred  in 
the  United   States  would   not  only  stand   the  climate 


well,   but  would  be  only  temporarily  affected  by  the 
necessary  change  of  feed. 

Australian  horses  are  usually  shipped  on  consign- 
ments averaging  twenty-five  head  each,  and  are 
handled  on  arrival  by  the  Shanghai  Horse  Bazaar 
Company  (limited).  When  in  good  condition  the 
prices  obtained  at  the  first  public  sale  range  from 
$175  to  $250  each,  exceptionally  fine  horses,  of  course, 
commanding  higher  prices.  The  preference  is  for  rid- 
ing horses  14  to  15  hands  high  and  for  driving  horses 
15  to  15.2  hands  high.  Fine,  upstanding,  showy  horses 
are  most  in  demand,  and  if  hardy  and  properly  accli- 
mated bring  exceptionally  good  prices  and  have  a 
ready  sale.  Cross-country  riding  is  very  popular  dur- 
ing the  winter  months,  but  is  abandoned  when  the 
planting  of  crops  begins  in  March.  Driving,  how- 
ever, is  indulged  in  the  year  round,  and  the  macad- 
amized roads  throughout  the  foreign  settlement  and 
extending  far  into  the  country  about  Shanghai,  and 
which  are  kept  in  excellent  condition,  affording  op- 
portunities for  recreation  and  enjoyment  which  are 
in  sharp  contrast  to  the  narrow,  uneven  paved  road- 
ways of  the  native  city. 

Australian  horses  shipped  from  Sydney  arrive  in 
Shanghai  in  about  three  weeks'  time,  and  although  a 
part  of  the  trip  is  made  through  the  tropics,  they 
appear  to  stand  the  journey  reasonably  well.  Tempo- 
rary stalls,  each  of  which  accommodates  one  horse, 
are  erected  on  board  ship.  Wooden  bars  are  so  ar- 
ranged as  to  prevent  the  animal  from  leaving  his 
quarters,  and  cleats  or  cross  pieces  are  fastened  to 
the  deck  of  the  ship  that  a  foothold  may  be  retained 
in  the  event  of  rough  weather.  The  freight  rate 
from  Sydney  to  Shanghai  is  approximately  $50  a  head, 
which  includes  a  return  trip  fare  for  the  man  in 
charge  of  the  consignment.  On  their  arrival  here 
the  horses  are  immediately  taken  to  the  sales  stables 
and  gradually  accustomed  to  the  Chinese  feed  of 
bran,  barley  and  rice  straw.  In  a  few  weeks,  the 
time  depending  on  the  condition  of  the  horses,  they 
are  sold  at  public  auction  and  the  proceeds,  after  de- 
ducting expenses,  are  transmitted  to  the  Australian 
owner. 

In  order  that  imported  horses  may  become  thor- 
oughly acclimatized  before  the  hard  work  of  the  win- 
ter begins,  dealers  prefer  that  they  should  arrive 
here  in  the  summer  months,  and,  as  the  seasons  here 
correspond  with  those  in  the  United  States,  it  is  sug- 
gested that  the  months  of  June  and  July  would  be  the 
best  time  for  shipment.  A  few  Canadian  horses  have 
been  imported  both  for  riding  and  driving  purposes 
and  have  invariably  shown  greater  adaptability  to 
climatic  conditions  than  have  the  Australian  horses. 
These  hGrses,  however,  were  not  sent  on  consign- 
ment,  but  purchased  direct   for  private   use. 

There  were  1900  horses  licensed  in  Shanghai  in 
1904,  and  probably  -1000  more  would  cover  the  whole 
number  licensed  in  the  Chinese  empire.  These  fig- 
ures include  the  Chinese  ponies,  which  greatly  out- 
number the  Australian  horses,  and  these  two  classes 
are  the  only  animals  used  for  riding  and  driving  in 
Shanghai.  The  ponies  are  all  raised  in  the  province 
of  Mongolia  and  are  hardy,  wiry  little  animals,  stand- 
ing from  12  to  13.2  hands  high.  They  pull  a  heavy 
victoria  or  brougham  with  as  much  ease  apparently  as 
the  horse,  and  will  keep  going  until  they  drop  from 
exhaustion.  They,  however,  would  in  no  way  com- 
pete in  or  interfere  with  the  market  for  American 
horses  if  it  were  decided  to  make  an  effort  to  intro- 
duce them. 

There,  are  a  few  mules  here  which  were  imported 
from  the  United  States  which  are  used  for  heavy 
trucking,  of  which  there  is  comparatively  little  in 
Northern  China  Coolie  labor  is  utilized  for  this  pur- 
pose. As  he  is  the  cheapest  and  most  docile  carrier 
of  burdens,  strong,  and  able  to  live  on  little,  taking 
up  little  space,  and  requiring  no  comforts  or  at- 
tention beyond  supervising  his  work,  he  is  made 
use  of  for  transporting  goods  which,  outside  of  the 
Orient,  would  call  for  the  services  of  strong  truck 
animals.  For  these  reasons  practically  no  demand 
exists  for  horses  or  mules  ordinarily  used  for  hauling 
heavy  loads. 

If  an  American  shipper  should  desire  to  enter  the 
field  in  competition  with  the  Australian  horses  it 
would  be  necessary  to  arrange  with  a  Shanghai  dealer 
to  receive  and  handle  a  consignment  in  the  way  that 
is  now  customary  in  this  market.  By  communicating 
with  the  general  manager  of  the  Shanghai  Hors^ 
Bazanr  Company  (Limited),  such  information  as 
would  be  necessary  for  guidance  in  properly  trans- 
porting the  horses  could  be  obtained  and  the  commis- 
sions, incidental  expenses,  and  the  terms  of  settlement 
explained.  While  the  market  is  not  a  large  one  it  is 
of  sufficient  size,  in  the  judgment  of  those  whose 
opinion  may  be  relied  on,  to  justify  a  trial  with  con- 
ditions favorable  to  the  establishment  of  a  paying  in- 
dustry. 


GOOD    HORSES  SCARCE. 
Good    horses    are    very    scarce    throughout    all    the 
states,    says    the   Live    Stock   Journal.      True,    there    is 
some    increase    of   young   geldings    and    shippers    are 
iii;    three-year-olds    to   develop    them    rather    than 
leave  them   for  some  other  buyer.     There        ver   was 
such  a  demand  for  good  draft  geldings.     The  ■"■ 
merchants  and  packers  have  orders  with  all  the  horse 
commission   men   to   buy  horses   up   to  their  si 
and    some   put   no   limit   of   price       Swift    has    had    a 
man    traveling     from    Ohio    to    the    west    looking    Tor 
high  class  draft   geldings,  but  he  could 

find  '''tii>.    a    i"'  w    up  to  their  si    n  I    rd  and  he  paid  $400 

to  $500.     Pabst  recently  paid      '<    oi     I    pah    o 

Percheron  geldings.  The  Chicago  horse  buyers  who 
travel  all  over  the  middle  west  are  buying  all  of  the 
host    draft    geldings    they   can    find    and    the    tops   are 

culled  out  of  every  carl i  as  qui  arrive. 

The   demand   everywhere   is   greater   than    the    supi 
for  the  best  class  ot  horses  even  at  the  high    i 
which    is    highly    en  ouraging    to    farmers   to    get   the 
best  grade  draft  marei    regardless  of   price  and  breed 
to    the   very   best   draft;   stallion.

bul    also    aeted    as    presiding   judge 

riving    the    relative    positions    of   the 

i  and  the  fractional  time  in  a  clear 

■  that  could  easily  be  heard  all  over  the 

and.     "Pull   back,   there,  Mr.  Durfee,  you  are 

:fous,"  "Bring  up  your  horse  now,  Mr.  Springer, 

you  shall  not  get  left,"  "Don't  come  up  ahead  of  the 

pole  horse.  Mr   Ward,"  "Don't  go  so  far  up  the  stretch, 

Mr.   Lindsay,  you    can't   expect   to  get  any  sort  of  a 

start   in   that  way."     I  never  saw  a  more  vigilant  or 

painstaking  man  placed  in  that  position.     The  crowd 

«.,s  small,  owing  to  the  inclement  weather,  but  the 

few    that   were   there,   saw   a   regular   "hoss   race"   in 

the  2:09  pacing  race,  the  second  event  of  the  day. 

The  first  was  a  trotting  race  for  the  2:11  class,  for 
which  there  were  five  nominations,  but  Willard  Zib- 
bell's  Adam  G..  by  McKinney,  was  scratched,  leaving 
Jupiter  B..  Morone.  Ole  and  The  Commonwealth  to 
contend  for  the  purse  of  $1000.  The  pool  selling  was 
handled  by  the  veteran  George  Common,  who  promised 
that  his  pools  should  be  as  refreshing  (to  the  winners, 
of  course)  as  were  the  pools  of  Siloam  to  the  weary 
Hebrew  pilgrims  of  old.  There  were  also  mutuals 
sold  on  each  heat.  Jupiter  B.  was  a  hot  favorite,  as 
will  be  seen  below: 

Jupiter   B 20     10     10     10 

Field    W       ?       6       5 

The  race  scarcely  deserves  any  description,  for 
Jupiter  B„  splendidly  driven  by  W.  G.  Durfee,  took 
the  lead  at  the  start  in  each  heat  and  held  it  every 
foot  of  the  way.  Monroe  taking  second  money,  Ole 
third  and  The  Commonwealth  fourth.  Then  came  on 
the  2:09  pacing  race,  for  which  Mr.  Ottinger's  Daeda- 
lion  (the  stable  hands  called  him  "Dandelion")  was  a 
most   pronounced   favorite,   as    shown   below: 

Daedalion    20     20     15     15     10     10 

Field 12     10        S       7        6        5 

There  were  ten  horses  carded  for  this  race  but 
Robert  I  was  declared  out  before  the  start.  There 
was  a  good  deal  of  scoring  in  each  heat  owing  to  the 
large  number  of  starters,  but  Mr.  Bruner  finally  sent 
them  away  with  Miss  Idaho  in  the  lead.  Rounding 
the  bend  Daedalion  got  the  lead  and  held  it  through- 
out the  heat  with  Miss  Idaho  second,  Vinnie  Mann 
third  and  Vision  fourth,  while  Kelly  Briggs,  tooled 
by  Durfee,  had  to  be  contented  with  seventh  place 
and  Steve  Bailey's  handsome  stallion,  Tidal  "Wave, 
was  distanced.     Time  2:08%. 

Before  the  start  for  the  second  heat  was  had  the 
dulcet  voice  of  Common  was  hushed,  for  Daedalion 
looked  to  have  an  easier  task  than  did  Jupiter  B.  in 
the  trot.  The  Diablo  horse  had  an  easier  journey  than 
in  the  preceding  heat  and  won  in  2:09%,  with  Kelly 
Briggs  second,  Miss  Idaho  third,  Vision  fourth  and 
Miss  Georgia  fifth.  After  this  heat  Miss  Georgia  was 
withdrawn  by  consent  of  the  judges. 

In  the  third  heat  Virginia  got  off  with  the  lead 
which  she  retained  to  the  quarter,  where  Daedalion 
came  up  on  her  and  was  in  front  before  he  had  gone 
sixty  yards  more.  Vision  began  to  move  along  and 
passed  Virginia,  and  then  up  came  Miss  Idaho,  fol- 
lowed by  Kelly  Briggs.  these  last  two  being  noses 
apart  to  the  head  of  the  stretch,  where  Durfee  came 
with  a  whirlwind  rush  and  lapping  Daedalion  at  the 
drawgates,  came  on  amid  deafening  cheers  and  won 
i,,    ih..  shortest   of  necks  in  2.09.     The  pools

Second  Day. 
The  chill  weather  of  Tuesday  had  abated  to  a  great 
extent,  whereupon  a  much  larger  attendance  was  no- 
ticeable than  on  the  opening  day.  The  first  thing  was 
to  close  up  the  unfinished  pacing  race  for  the  2:09 
class,  for  which  only  Kelly  Briggs,  Miss  Idaho  and 
Daedalion  appeared,  all  the  rest  of  the  field  having 
been  sent  to  their  stables  for  not  winning  one  heat 
in  five.  In  the  pools  Daedalion  opened  favorite,  but 
the  money  offered  on  the  chestnut  daughter  of  Nut- 
wood Wilkes  soon  brought  her  up  on  even  terms  with 
him.     They  sold  as  follows: 

Daedalion    10         10         10         10         10

It  was-evident  that  Springer's  friends  had  been  told 
that  the  mare  was  fresher  than  on  the  preceding  day; 
and  that  this  was  the  card  that  they  had  up  their 
sleeves.  A  capital  start  was  effected,  Daedalion  going 
off  with  the  lead,  closely  followed  by  Kelly  Briggs, 
and  the  mare  trailing  to  the  half  mile,  when  Springer 
got  her  down  to  hard  work  and  ate  up  the  distance, 
inch  by  inch,  till  the  three  horses  entered  the  stretch 
less  than  good  necks  apart.  Everybody  said,  "Idaho 
has  got  the  heat  if  she  don't  break,"  and  she  did  not 
break,  winning  the  heat  in  2:09.  Then  a  rush  to  get 
even  was  made,  the  mare  bringing  $20  as  against  $12 
for  the  field;  and  only  a  few  pools  were  sold  at  these 
rates.  Once  on  the  inside  track  she  got  off  strong 
and  led  by  a  neck  to  the  quarter,  Kelly  Briggs  going 
at  her  with  unflinching  gameness  till  the  stretch  was 
reached,  where  Ward  brought  Daedalion  up  and  made 
a  bold  bid  for  the  heat,  Miss  Idaho  winning  by  a 
length  from  Daedalion  in  2:12%,  with  game  old  Kelly 
Briggs  two  lengths  away.  No  such  race  had  been 
paced  over  this  track  since  1892,  when  Our  Dick  beat 
W.  Wood,  Silkwood  and  Tom  Ryder  in  five  obstinately 
contested  heats.  The  advocates  of  harness  racing  cer- 
tainly could  not  have  been  better  pleased  than  every- 
body was  with  this  race.  Faster  time  had  been  made 
on  several  occasions,  but  no  such  spectacular  finishes 
had  characterized  them. 

The  second  race  was  the  first  regular  race  of  the 
day's  program,  the  trot  for  the  2:17  class,  which  had 
originally  eight  nominations,  but  three  were  scratched 
and  the  other  five  on  the  card  were  George  W.  Ford's 
Burnut.  drizen  by  Wallace;  S.  S.  Bailey's  Red  Skin, 
driven  by  Mosher;  J.  L.  Smith's  b.  g.  Hank,  himself 
driving;  F.  J.  Ruhstaller's  br.  g.  Wild  Bell,  driven  by 
Freeman,  and  W.  G  Durfee's  br.  m.  Bellemont,  with 
Durfee  in  the  sulky.  The  latter  won  in  straight  heats, 
so  easily  that  it  would  be  a  waste  of  time  to  describe 
the  heats.  Wild  Bell  trotted  the  best  race  of  the 
others,  being  second  in  the  deciding  heat,  with  Burnut 
third  and  Hank  fourth.  As  will  be  seen  by  the  sum- 
mary, the  three  beaten  contestants  figured  "9"  each, 
so  the  judges  ordered  the  first  money  to  Bellemont. 
with  the  second,  third  and  fourth  moneys  equally  di- 
vided between  the  three  other  contestants.  Time, 
2:16,  2:17,  2:15%.  It  looked  to  me  as  if  a  heat  in 
2:12  would  not  have  beaten  Durfee's  mare,  for  she  was 
going  well  within  herself  at  all  parts  of  the  race. 
Red  Skin  was  drawn  after  the  second  heat,  having  no 
chance  whatever:  and  great  sympathy  was  felt  for 
Mr.  Bailey,  who  had  traveled  his  stable  twice  as  far 
as  any  other  contestant  in  order  to  participate  in  this 
meeting. 

The  matinee  cup  for  amateur  drivers,  members  oi 
the  association,  came  next,  the  horses  being  in  the 
2:30  class.  There  were  four  entries,  Kinmont,  driven 
by  Dr.  Ralph  Hagan;  General  Boodle,  by  Godfrey 
Fritz;  California  Poppy.  Mr.  H  G.  Garland,  and  Ed- 
mond  S„  by  William  Morgan,  but  the  latter  was  with- 
drawn and  the  race  was  won  by  Kinmont  in  straight 
heats,  with  Fritz  Boodle  (as  he  was  called)  second, 
and  the  Poppy  third,  in  2.31  and  2:30. 

The  third  regular  race  of  the  day  was  a  broken 
heat  affair  like  the  one  of  the  preceding  day;  and 
like  that  one  it  W'as  a  most  bitter  fight.  Nine  horses 
were  on  the  card,  pacers  of  the  2:20  class,  and  four 
savagely  contested  heats,  with  one  dead  heat  and  two 
eyebrow  finishes,  was  the  condition  of  things  up  to 
dusk,  when  the  judges  postponed  the  race  till  Thurs- 
day. Welcome  Mack,  being  a  local  horse,  had  a  great 
many  more  friends  than  any  of  the  others  and  brought 
$20  in  pools,  against  $10  for  Victor  Platte  (who  had  a 
strong  following  from  San  Diego),  and  $S  for  the  field. 
He  beat  Victor  Platte  so  easily  in  the  first  heat  that 
there  was  no  more  betting,  except  in  the  mutuals, 
which  were  sold  exclusively  on  heats.  The  time  was 
2:13%.  and  the  San  Diego  men  said  that  no  such  time 
as  that  would  take  Victor's  measure  after  he  had 
once  got  warmed  up  to  his  work.  The  second  heat 
was  as  spirited  a  contest  as  ever  was  seen  in  this 
State,  Birdal,  a  big  roan  mare,  getting  away  in  the 
lead  and  holding  it  by  two  lengths  to  the  quarter  in 
::::'L..  to  the  half  in  1:06.  with  Welcome  Mac  coming  on 
al  a  furious  clip.  He  cut  her  lead  down  to  a  single 
length  at  the  three-quarters  in  1:40,  and  then  Fanning 
brought  Victor  up  like  a  whirlwind.  Cries  of  "Come 
mi,  Fred,"  "Hurry  up.  Ward."  and  "Give  it  to  her, 
Kelly,"  resounded  from  all  parts  of  the  grandstand. 
Each    driver    was   straining   every   effort   to   win,    but 


[November  25,  1905 


the  judges  were  unable  to  separate  them  and  declared 
it  a  dead  heat  between  Welcome  Mac  and  Birdal,  witl 
Victor  Platte  less  than  a  length  behind  the  leaders 
Fear  Not  was  fourth,  J.  A.  C.  fifth,  Norda  sixth 
Henry  N.  Seventh  and  Connors  eighth.     Time,  2:12. 

The  third  heat  wras  Welcome  Mac's,  for  he  got  oft 
well  in  his  stride  and  led  by  a  length  to  the  quarter 
where  Birdal  joined  him  and  lay  on  his  wheel  all  thl 
way,  Victor  Platte  dropping  back  and  allowing  Fear- 
not  to  work  into  the  third  place.  The  quarter  wa: 
faster  than  in  any  previous  heat  (32%),  and  the  hal: 
was  done  in  1:05,  but  the  pace  seemed  to  flag  arounc 
the  turn,  as  they  were  at  the  three-quarters  in  1:38% 
but  there  came  a  severe  rally  from  there  on,  Welcomt 
Mac  winning  by  two  length  from  Bridal  with  Fear- 
not  a  good  third,  J.  A.  C.  and  Connors  being  dis- 
tanced. Pools  were  now  resumed,  the  field  bringing 
$8  to  Welcome  Mac's  $10. 

There  was   a   straggling  start  for  .the   fourth   heat 
of  which  Birdal  got  decidedly  the  best  and  went 
the    quarter    in    32%,    where   Welcome   Mac   began 
move   up.     At   the   half  they  were   going   great   gu 
and   Birdal   was   already  in   trouble,   for   Fearnot  h: 
passed  her  as  they  swung  into  the  lowrer  turn.     Ju: 
then    Fred    Fanning    made    a    spectacular    drive 
passed  Birdal.  then  Fearnot,  and  set  sail  for  the 
brown  son  of  grand  old  McKinney.     On  he  came  1 
a  maelstrom  on  the  rugged  Norway  coast,  getting 
even  terms  with  Mac  at  the  draw-gates  and  beati 
him  home  a  scant  length  in   2:11%,  the  fastest  hei 
of  the  race,  amid  deafening  cheers.     The  judges,  afi 
announcing  the  heat,  declared  the  race  postponed 
Thursday  at   1  p.  m.

SALE  OF  MACKEY  YEARLINGS. 


Chicago  Horseman:  Millard  Sanders,  the  man  who 
made  Lou  Dillon  1:58%  the  queen  of  the  turf,  last 
week  stopped  over  in  Chicago  for  a  few  days  on  his 
way  to  Pleasanton,  Cal.  Mr.  Sanders  has  resigned 
as  trainer  for  John  H.  Shults.  For  two  years  he 
trained  the  youngsters  by  Axworthy  and  in  1904  he 
made  them  the  most  talked  of  lot  of  colts  in  the 
country,  with  the  result  that  they  brought  the  highest 
average  when  sold  in  Madison  Square  Garden  last 
winter.  During  his  connection  with  Mr.  Shults  he 
started  sons  and  daughters  of  Axworthy  in  ten  races, 
won  seven  of  them  and  was  second  once.  This  year 
he  trained  a  large  number  of  two  and  three-year-olds 
at  Memphis,  and  later  at  Cleveland.  On  August  15 
he  received  several  yearlings,  and  before  he  sent  them 
home  to  New  York  he  had  educated  two  of  them  to 
the  point  where  he  was  confident  that  he  could  put 
both  of  them  in  the  list.  He  was  ambitious  to  do  so 
as  he  has  put  eight  yearlings  in  the  list  and  these  two 
would  have  made  an  even  ten. 

The  two  and  three-year-olds  were  not  engaged  in 
the  futurities,  as  at  the  time  they  were  bred  Mr. 
Shults  had  decided  to  quit  the  trotters  and  race  a' 
stable  of  runners.  Consequently  there  was  no  chance 
to  show  what  the  youngsters  could  accomplish  in 
company.  He  devoted  the  entire  season  to  their  edu- 
cation, however,  and  refused  to  take  a  stable  of  aged 
race  horses,  because  of  an  understanding  that  the 
colts  would  be  raced  in  1906.  When  Mr.  Shults  re- 
cently decided  to  sell  all  the  colts  and  not  campaign 
any  next  year  Mr.  Sanders  promptly  resigned.  He  is 
a  marvel  at  making  speed  with  youngsters  but  he  does 
not  care  to  develop  them  exclusively  for  the  sales 
ring. 

It  is  rumored,  although  Mr.  Sanders  would  not  con- 
firm it,  that  he  has  an  eye  on  several  of  the  get  of 
Sidney  Dillon  that  are  now  owned  in  California,  and 
it  is  probable  that  he  will  have  a  number  of  them  to 
train  at  the  Pleasanton  track.  It  is  not  to  be  won- 
dered that  Sanders  is  sweet  on  them  for  he  developed 
and  marked  Lou  Dillon  in  1.58%  behind  a  dirt  shield, 
and  last  year  he  drove  her  without  the  pacemaker  in 
front  a  mile  "in  2:01.  There  was  an  impression  that 
the  queen  of  the  turf  w-as  not  as  good  last  season 
as  the  year  previous,  but  when  one  compares  her 
performances  with  that  of  Dan  Patch  with  and 
without  the  runner  in  front,  there  seems  to  be  little 
on  which  to  base  an  argument.  Dan  Patch  has  paced 
a  mile  in  1:55  with  the  pacemaker  in  front  and  one  in 
1:58  without,  a  difference  of  three  seconds.  The  dif- 
ference between  Lou  Dillon's  two  records  is  2%  sec- 
onds, so  that  the  queen  must  have  had  as  much  speed 
in  1904  as  in  1903. 


A    VALUABLE     HORSE    REMEDY. 

Every  horse  owner  Is  interested  in  knowing  how  to  cure  and 
■■event  the  spread  of  distemper,  epizootio,  pinkeye  and  similar 
llments  among  their  stock.  Therefore  this  publication  takes 
'eat  pleasure  in  publishing  a  few  unsolicited  words  of  recom- 
mendation concerning  Craft's  Distemper  Cure,  which  is  prepared 
?  the  Wells  Medicine  Co  ,  Lafajette,  Ind.  This  remedy  has  so 
early  established  its  efficiency  and  reliability  ibat  it  Is  justly 
ltltled  to  all  that  can  be  said  in  its  favor.  It  probably  has  no 
lual  as  a  remedy  for  the  prevention  and  spread  of  the  various 
rms  of  distemper.  It  gives  positive  and  julck  results,  as  Ihou- 
.Qdsof  veterinary  surgeons,  breeders,  trainers  and  others  tes- 
ty. We  are  informed  that  the  remedy  may  be  obtained  from 
ost  all  druggists  throughout  the  country;  but  when  it  can  not 
to'jtalned  from  dealers  it  will  be  sent  direct,  prepaid,  by  the 
'ells  Medicine  Co.,  from  whom  can  also  be  had  free  of  cbaree  a 
■  luable  31  pige  booklet  entitled  "Veterinary  Pointers,"  which 
3  would  aivise  all  our  readers  to  send  for.  It  contains  much 
.luable  information  concerning  some  of  the  most  prevalent  and 
ost  dreaded  diseases  of  horses  and  colts.

The  new  owners  and  others  interested  in  the  race 
track  met  last  Saturday  afternoon  and  formulated 
plans  for  the  improvement  of  the  property.  It  was 
decided  to  improve  the  old  buildings,  put  up  a  high 
fence  along  the  county  road,  pipe  water  to  the  build- 
ings and  build  sixty  new  stalls.  There  was  some 
talk  of  covering  about  one-quarter  of  a  mile,  which 
had  been  cut  down  to  clay,  with  red  loam  the  same 
as  the  other  portion  of  the  track.  This  will  make  the 
track  the  same  all  the  way  around  and  will  be  a  good 
winter  track. 

Sid  Roach,  the  two  year  old,  looks  like  a  race  horse 
coming   up   the   stretch. 

M.  Perry  has  tried  his  new  Sidmour  colt  for  a  quar- 
ter.   He  says  he  has  a  future  race  winner. 

Mr.  Curry  and  his  son  Ruben  were  out  to  see  S.  R. 
Curry's  two  year  old  Sidmoor  filly  speed.  She  showed 
a  2:48  gait  for  one-eighth  and  a  3:00  gait  for  one-half 
mile.  Pretty  good  for  two  weeks'  work  in  the  speed 
cart. 

It  is  said  that  a  horseman's  love  for  a  certain  breed 
of  horses  that  he  has  owned  will  extend  to  the  third 
and  fourth  generations.  There  must  be  something  in 
this,  for  Nelson  Clanton  drove  out  to  the  track  last 
week  to  see  Mr.  Durham  work  Flyaway  for  the  best 
mile  ever  trotted  over  the  track  by  any  horse.  He 
was  also  greatly  pleased  with  the  two-year-old  colt 
Sid  Roach,  when  he  went  the  mile  out  in  2:57%,  the 
last  eighth  in  2D%  seconds.  Both  these  horses'  dams 
are  by  Conductor,  and  Mr.  Clanton  could  see  the  good 
staying  qualities  of  the  Conductor  blood  come  to  the 
surface  as  they  came  up  the  homestretch. 

What  is  the  matter  with  having  a  two-year-old  race 
for  a  Christmas  dinner— so  many  nice  two-year-olds. 
There  is  M.  Perry.  David  Roach,  Williams  Brothers, 
J.  E.  Durham,  Pat  Roach  and  others,  each  of  whom 
could  enter  a  speedy  animal  for  an  interesting  race. 

The  Horgan  Futurity  Stake,  foals  of  1905,  to  be 
held  over  the  Concord  race  track  next  year,  promises 
to  have  many  entries.  Entry  blanks  have  been  sent 
out  and  nominations  will  close  January  1st. 

Among  the  entries  for  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futur- 
ity, valued  at  $7000,  from  Contra  Costa  county  are 
Dr.  J.  Wallace  DeWitt  and  E.  B.  Whelehan  of  An- 
tioch  and  G.  O.  Meese  of  Danville.— Concord  Tran-

and  injuring  the  fireman.  The  train  buckled 
threw  the  pacer  on  his  head,  he  turning  a  com- 
!  somersault,  injuring  his  back  and,  it  is  said, 
rowing  out  two  very  large  curbs,  which  may  end

THE  QUAILS  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

By  Sylvester  D.  Judd,  Assistant  United  States 
Biological  Survey. 


(Continued  from  last  week) 


California    Quail. 

The    California    quail    is    generally    dispersed    over 
i    ilifornia  below  an  altitude  of  S.000  feet  and  extends 
Into    southern    Oregon    and    western    Nevada.      This 
name   is  used  here  to  cover  both  the  typical  Califor- 
nia   quail — Lophortyx     californicus — and     the     paler, 
more    southerly    form,   called    the   valley   quail — L.    c. 
vallicola.      It    has    been    introduced    into    Washington 
Ish    Columbia,    and    efforts    to    introduce    it 
Into    Hi"    Hawaiian    Islands    also    have    proved    very 
■t'ul,   although   of  late  years   its   numbers  there

I,     like     tl"      .inn',     the     California     quail 


chooses  much  safer  places  and  roosts  in  bushes  or 
low  thickly  foliaged  trees.  This  quail  is  even  more 
confiding  than  the  bobwhite,  and  frequently  comes 
about  farm  buildings  to  eat  with  the  chickens.  It 
has  been  known  to  lay  in  confinement,  and  appears 
to  yield  readily  to  semidomestication. 

The  valley  quail  has  acquired  the  interesting  habit 
of  posting  sentinels  when  feeding,  which  is  described 
in  detail  by  John  J.  Williams.  Mr.  Williams  ob- 
served a  flock  enter  a  field  and  begin  to  feed,  while 
a  sentinel  took  his  station  in  a  peach  tree  and 
scanned  the  country  about  for  danger.  Presently 
he  was  relieved  by  a  second  bird,  who  took  up  a 
position  on  a  brush  pile  and  a  little  later  was  relieved 
by  a  third,  who  kept  guard  while  the  other  two  fed 
with  the  flock.  (Condor,  vol.  5,  pp.  146-14S,  1903.) 
Writing  in  1891  Clark  P.  Streator  says  that  abou^ 
100,000  are  sold  each  year  in  the  San  Francisco  mar- 
ket'. [Their  sale  is  now  prohibited. — Ed  ]  It  is  not 
a  perfect  game  bird,  for  it  does  not  lie  well  to  a 
dog.  and  when  once  flushed  has  a  habit  of  running 
that  is  exasperating  to  the  sportsman.  The  best  way 
to  hunt  these  quail  is  to  keep  the  dog  at  heel  and 
to  run  down  the  birds.  This  is  likely  to  make  them 
take  wing  and  to  break  up  the  covey.  The  same 
result  may  be  accomplished  also  by  discharging  the 
gun  in  the  air.  When  a  covey  has  been  scattered  in 
suitable  cover  they  will  lie  well  enough  to  a  trained 
dog  to  give  the  hunter  considerable  sport,  though  it 
is  poor  in  comparison  with  that  afforded  by  the 
bobwhite.  The  beauty  of  this  quail,  its  pleasant 
call  notes,  and  its  confidence  in  man  make  it  a  fav- 
orite except  where  it  damages  the  grape  crop.  In 
fall  and  winter  where  it  is  abundant  hundreds  of 
birds  unite  in  great  packs.  Bendire.  writing  in 
1892  says  that  within  a  decade  packs  of  500  were 
often  found,  but  that  at  that  time  coveys  even  of 
fifty  were  rare  in  most  places.  (Life  Hist.  N.  Am. 
Birds  [I],  p.  24,  1892.)  In  the  fall  of  1891  they  were 
still  very  abundant  on  the  west  side  of  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley,  where  B  W.  Nelson,  of  the  Bio- 
logical Survey,  records  their  slaughter  by  pot  hunt- 
ers The  hunters  stationed  themselves  behind  a  brush 
blind  near  the  one  spring  where  the  birds  came  to 
drink. 

Thousands  of  them  flocked  thither  for  water  dur- 
ing the  dav,  and  bv  waiting  until  many  birds  were 
bunched  the  hunters  killed  at  least  a  score  at  each 
discharge  of  the  gun.  In  a  week  of  this  butchery 
S400  quails  were  killed.  A  record  of  52o  birds  to 
four  guns  in  a  day  in  February,  1903,  near  San  Diego, 
Cal  shows  that  birds  are  still  abundant  there, 
though  far  less  numerous  in  most  places  than  for- 
merly.     (Recreation,   vol.    18,    p.    368,   1893.) 

The  California  quail  might  be  introduced  success- 
fully in  many  sections  between  California  and  Texas 
where  it  does  not  occur  at  present.  It  already  has 
been  introduced  into  Colorado,  where  it  will  be  pro- 
tected by  law  at  all  seasons  until  1920.  Laws  to 
prevent  trapping  and  to  limit  the  day's  bag.  together 
with  absolute  protection  in  sections  where  neces- 
sary, should  suffice  to  preserve  this  beautiful  spec.es. 
Food    Habits. 

The  general  food  habits  of  this  quail  have  been 
ascertained  by  the  examination  of  601  stomachs,  and 
it  proves  to  be  one  of  the  most  largely  vegetarian 
of  game  birds  The  material  for  investigation  was 
collected  in  California,  and  represents  every  month 
of  the  vear  except  May.  Insects  furnished  but  2.1o 
per  cent  of  the  food,  and  leaves,  seeds,  and  fruit 
97.85  per  cent. 
Insect   and   Other  Animal    Food. 

The  2.15  per  cent  of  animal  food  eaten  by  this 
quail  is  distributed  as  follows:  Spiders,  0.03  per 
cent;  beetles,  0.22  per  cent;  grasshoppers  and 
crickets,  0.24  per  cent;  ants  and  other  Hymenoptera, 
0.67  per  cent;  miscellaneous  insects,  0.99  per  cent. 
The  beetles  are  both  adults  and  larvae,  and  belong 
to  the  following  families.  Chrysomelidoe  (leaf-eating 
beetles),  Tenebrionidoe  (darking  beetles),  Elateridoe 
(wire-worms),  Carabidoe  (ground  beetles),  Dermes- 
tidoe  (dermestids),  Coccinellidoe  (ladybirds),  and 
snout  beetles  (suborder  Bhynchphora).  The  leaf- 
eating  beetles  include  Diabrotica  soror,  a  western 
representative  of  the  destructive  twelve-spotted  cu- 
cumber beetle  Flea  beetles  also  are  eaten,  includ- 
ing species  of  the  genus  Haltica.  Among  the  mis- 
cellaneous leaf-eating  beetles  may  be  mentioned  the 
brilliant  Gastroidea  coesia.  Conspicuous  among  the 
ground  beetles  eaten  is  the  common  Agonoderus 
pallipes,  and  among  the  useful  predaceous  lady-birds 
the  species  Hippodamia  convergens.  Like  the  east- 
ern bobwhite,  the  California  quail  feeds  on  ants  of 
the  families  Formieidoe  and  Myrmicidoe.  Sometimes 
twenty  to  thirty-five  ants  are  taken  at  a  meal.  Of 
the  other  Hymenoptera.  gall  insects  (Cynipidoe)  and 
their  sails  make  a  significant  proportion.  Cater- 
pillars and  their  pupae  are  eaten.  Cut-worms 
(Agrotic).  measuring  worms  (Geometridoe),  sphinx 
caterpillars  (including  Deilephila).  and  the  cotton 
bollworm  (Heliothis  obseleta)  make  up  the  greater 
part  of  this  food.  Like  the  bobwhite  again,  this 
bird  shows  a  relish  for  bugs.  It  eats  leaf  bugs 
(Capsidae),  bugs  of  the  chinch  bug  family,  such  as 
is  truculent'.s  and  L.  bitriangularis.  and  stink 
'  bugs  (Fenlatomidoe),  assassin  bugs  (Reduviidoe). 
Imgs  (Aradidoe),  burrower  bugs  (Crytomenus), 
leal  hoppers  (Jassidoe).  tree  hoppers  (Membracidoe). 
plant  Hi",  and  bugs  of  the  genus  Scolops  (Fulgor- 
i  !i  I.  The  miscellaneous  animal  matter  taken  in- 
cludes Hies  (Lucillia  eapesar).  spiders,  and  snails. 
Vegetable   Food — Fruit. 


The  vegetable  food  of  this  quail  amounts  to  97 
per  cent  of  its  diet.  The  bird  has  an  unsavory  rep" 
tation  among  fruit  growers,  especially  the  owne 
of  vineyards.  Relative  to  this  subject,  Miss  Flo 
ence  A.  Merriam,  writing  from  San  Diego  count 
Cal.,   says: 

"In   fact,   the   quail   were   so   abundant   as    to   be 
pest.     For   several  years   great   flocks   of  them   can 
down    the    canyons     to     Major     Merriam's     vineyar 
where  they  destroyed  annually  from  twenty  to  thir 
tons  of  fruit.     In  one  season — July  to  October,  1SS1 
one   hundred   and   thirty   dozen    (1,560)    were    trappt 
on  his  ranch.     The  result  of  this  wholesale  destru- 
tion  was  manifest  when  I   returned  to   the  valley 
1S94.     The  birds  were  then  rarely  seen  on  the  roi 
and  seldom  flushed  in  riding  about  the  valley."  ( 
XIII,  p.  116,   1896.) 

When  this  species  becomes  superabundant 
plays  havoc  with  crops  it  is  well  to  remember  tl 
it  can  be  so  easily  checked.  W.  H  Osgood,  of 
Biological  Survey,  has  furnished  the  writer  data  ( 
the  frugivorous  habits  of  the  quail  in  central  Cal 
fornia.  In  one  vineyards  he  saw  a  flock  of  abo' 
a  thousand  eating  zinfandel  grapes.  The  birds  ( 
much  damage  in  September,  when  the  young 
molting  and  they  have  collected  in  packs,  as  befo 
described. 

Walter  E.  Bryant,  writing  of  the  damage  to  fru 
offers  testimony  on  the  other  side: 

In  some  parts  of  California  there  is  a  strong  p: 
judice  against  the  quail,  owing  to  alleged  dam: 
to  the  grape.  The  evidence  which  I  have  thus 
gathered  shows  that  the  quail  do  pick  at  the  buni 
of  grapes,  and  not  alone  those  bunches  which 
near  or  on  the  ground;  but  the  damage  which  t] 
cause  seems  overestimated.  Too  often  mutil; 
bunches  of  grapes  are  supposed  to  be  due  to 
presence  of  quail  in  the  vineyard;  but  there 
other  birds  and  mammals,  also,  which  vary  their 
with  grapes.  I  have  examined  a  number  of  qu; 
crops  and  gizzards  without  finding  the  presence 
grapes,  although  the  birds  had  been  shot  near  ar 
in  vineyards.  A  quail's  crop  sent  to  me  from  L( 
Gatos,  by  Mr.  A.  H.  Hawley,  contained  twenty-fi 
small  grapes;  others  had  a  few  grapes,  seeds,  ai 
poison-oak  berries       (Zoe,   IV,   p.    56,   1893.) 

In  the  601  stomachs  of  the  valley  quail  examint 
by  the  Biological  Survey  grapes  formed  only  0 
per  cent  of  the  annual  food.  This  small  quanti 
is  due,  no  doubt,  to  the  fact. that  many  of  the  bin 
were  shot  in  regions  remote  from  vineyards 
many  of  them  during  the  time  when  grapes  wi 
not  in  fruit.  The  total  proportion  of  all  kinds 
fruit  was  only  7.60  per  cent,  an  amount  so  insigi 
cant  as  to  preclude  the  idea  of  serious  dam; 
Where  the  birds  are  over-abundant  and  the  co; 
quent  damage  great,  trapping  or  advertising  the  ci 
ditions  in  sporting  papers  will  probably  result 
reducing  the  numbers  to  normal.  Of  the  7.60 
cent  of  fruits,  grapes,  as  before  stated,  contri 
0.01  per  cent;  plants  of  the  genus  Rhus,  mainly 
diversiloba,  4.74  per  cent,  and  miscellaneous  f; 
prunes,  and  vaccinium,  2.S5  per  cent.  The  maxi: 
quantity  of  fruit,  amounting  to  32.40  per  cent 
the  month,  was  taken  in  December,  after  the  grap 
had  been  picked. 
Grain. 

The  relations  of  the  California  quail  to  grain  a 
of  considerable  economic  importance.  W.  T.  Cr; 
of  San  Francisco,  writes  to  the  Department  of  A 
culture:  "I  have  observed  the  quail  enter  a  fiel 
wheat  to  the  number  of  thousands,  and  had 
not  been  driven  away  they  would  have  destroyed 
whole  crop."  No  other  reports  to  the  Biologic 
Survey  show  the  danger  to  grain  from  this  quail 
be  so  scf  ious,  but  data  at  hand  show  that  it  do 
more  or  less  damage  to  germinating  grain, 
quail  shot  by  Walter  E.  Bryant  on  a  newly-si 
grain  field  had  eaten,  respectively,  1S5  kernels 
210  kernels  of  barley.  (Zoe,  IV,  p.  55,  1S93.)  Bao 
is  important  in  California,  where  it  is  grown 
hay.  for  grain  feed,  and  for  beer  making.  There  : 
however,  much  volunteer  barley,  which  many  speci 
of  birds  feed  on  and  thus  do  good  rather  than  nan 
It  is  probable  that  quail  do  little  or  no  harm  to  ba 
ley  at  harvest  time,  and  the  waste  grain  that  thi 
subsequently  gather  in  stubble  fields  has  no  posit! 
value.     Of  the  yearly  food  of  the  601  quail  examlni 

6. 15  per  cent  was  grain,  divided  as  follows:      Barle 
4.58   per   cent;    wheat,    0.44   per   cent;    corn   and   oal 

1.16  per  cent. 
Leaves. 

In  its  habit  of  feeding  on  foliage  the  Californ 
quail  differs  from  the  bobwhite  and  resembles  tl 
ruffed  grouse.  Such  food  forms  22.73  per  cent 
the  vegetable  matter  eaten.  In  February,  when  tl 
bobwhite  is  weathering  blizzards,  the  California  qtu 
is  enjoying  balmy  weather  and  feeding  on  browse 
the  extent  of  SO  per  cent  of  its  food.  Most  of  th 
browse  consists  of  leaves  of  leguminous  plants,  prh 
cipally  clovers.  Bur  clover  (Medicago  denticulata 
a  weed  that  grows  in  cultivated  laud  and  along  in 
gation  ditches,  appears  to  supply  most  of  the  forag 
Alfalfa  and  clovers  of  the  genus  alfalfa  form  mo 
of  the  remaining  leguminous  green  food.  Next 
legumes  the  finely  divided  leaves  of  alfilaria,! 
"filaree"  (Erodium),  are  important.  Grass,  chicl 
weed  (Alsine  media),  the  leaves  of  fern,  geraniul 
oxalis,  and  groundsel-bush  (Baccharis)  also  furni: 
forage  for  the  quail.  W.  W.  Cooke  reports  that  ne: 
Grand  Junction.  Colo.,  where  the  California  coa! 
quail  has  been  introduced  and  thrives  wonderfull 
market  gardeners  regard  it  as  a  nuisance.  (Bir-;  D 
of  Colorado,  App.  2,  p.  202,  1900.) 
Weed   Seeds. 

Different  seeds,  largely  of  weeds,  furnish  the  Cal 
fornia  quail  59.77  per  cent  of  its  year's  diet.  Legum 
contribute  17  S7  per  cent;  alfilaria,  13. 3S  per  cen 
compositae,  5.55  per  cent;  the  spurge  family  (Ei 
phorbiaceoe),  5.S5  per  cent,  and  miscellaneous  planl 
17.12  per  cent.  Leguminous  seeds  are  liked  best  1 
the  bird,  and  make  up  17.87  per  cent  of  the  seed  di

or  the  year  and   46.1   per  cent  of  its  food  for  June. 
3ur  clover  yields  abundance  of  seeds  as  well  as  for- 
ige.     Its  seed  pod  is  peculiar,  much  elongated,  beset 
vith    long:,    sharp    spines,    and    spirally    coiled    into    a 
■oundish   bur.     The  quail  swallows  it  whole,  regard - 
ess  of  spines.     This  food  is  highly  nutritious  and  is 
elished  by  stock  as  well  as  by  birds  and  wild  mam- 
nals.     Seeds  of  closely  allied  plants,  such  as  alfalfa, 
,-etch,  cassias,  cultivated  beans  and  peas,  and  clovers 
f   the    genera    Trifolium,    Lespedeza,    and    Melilotus 
Iso  are   in  the  quail's  list,  as  well  as  locust    (Rob- 
ma)    and    lupines,    the    latter    taken    in    large    quan- 
:ities.     They  include  the  seeds  of  Lupinus  nanus,   I.. 
nicranthus,    and    L     sparsiflorus.      Other    leguminous 
jeeds  are  eaten   in  great  numbers,  including  a  small 
jeanlike   seed,    Lotus   glaber,    which    looks  much   like 
miniature  Frankfurt   sausage,   and  an   unidentified, 
ilmost  microscopic  square  seed,  with  a   notch  in   its 
?dge.    possibly     some     species     of     birdsfoot     trefoil 
(Lotus).      Nearly   all    of   the   leguminous   plants   that 
furnish   the   quail  with   seeds   belong  in   the  category 
"    at  weeds. 

Seeds  of  weeds  from  other  families  of  plants  make 
no   less    than  41.S9   per   cent   of  the   annual   food. 
Seeds  of  compositae  yield  5.55  per  cent,  such  injuri- 
;s  weeds  as  thistles  making  up  the  largest  part  of 
lis   percentage.      The   thistles   most   often    eaten   are 
;ntaurea    melitensis,    C.    americana,    C.    solstitialis, 
riana  mariniana,  Conchus  sp.,  and  Carduus  sp.  M. 
riniana    has    the    largest    seeds.      Ninety    of    these 
.d  been  eaten  by  a  quail  shot  by  F.  E    Le  Beal  at 
Sywards,   Cal.,   August   15,    1903.     The   seeds   of  the 
__.r   thistle    (Centaurea    melitensis)    are    smaller    and 
have   a   hook  at  one  end   and  a  set  of  spines   like   a 
paint   brush  at  the  other.     They  are,   perhaps,   most 
iked    of  all    composite    seeds.     From    500    to   S00   are 
en  eaten  at  a  meal.     The  destruction  of  this  seed 
highly   beneficial,    for    the    bur    thistle    is    trouble- 
ime  to   farmers.     Wild   carrot    (Daucus   carota),   tar 
feed  (Madia  sativa),  wild  lettuce  (Lactuca  sp.),  may- 
weed    (Anthemis     cotula),     and     marsh     elder      (Iva 
xanthifolia)    furnish  most   of  the   remaining  see3s   of 
composite    plants.      Tar    weed    is    a    favorite    source 
of  food,    and   one   stomach,    collected   at   Wastonville, 
Cal.,   by  J.   S.   Hunter,   contained  700   of  these   seeds. 
Another    stomach,    from    the    same    place,    held    2,000 
tiny   seeds   of  dog   fennel,    or    mayweed 

From  seeds  of  plants  belonging  to  the  spurge  fam- 
ily (Euphorbiaceoe)  come  5. 85  per  cent  of  the  annual 
food.      Spurges,    particularly   Croton    setigerus.    com- 
limonly   known   as   turkey   mullein,    are   a   staple   with 
■the  California   quail  as  with  most  other  seed-eating 
Ibirds.     So  fond  are  the  quail  of  turkey  mullein  that 
their  crops   are   often   completely   distended  with   the 
Iseeds,  sometimes  from  500  to  900  to  a  bird.     Turkey 
fcmullein  is  a   prostrate  plant  covered  with  a  whitish, 
B  woolly    pubescence,    and    often    used    by    the    Indians 
hto    poison    fish.      Seeds    of    alfilaria    (Erodium    cicu- 
tarium    and    other    species),    which    is    both    a    weed 
and    a    forage   plant,    are    eagerly   sought.      They  are 
;  lance-shaped,  furnished  with  a  long,  elaborate,  cork- 
screw   awn    ending    in    a    thin    spine.      They    burrow 
jinto    sheep's    wool    and    even    pierce    the    skin.      The 
!  alfilaria   is   one    of   the   few   seeds   of   the   West    that 
Sail    seed-eating    birds    consume.      The    plant    is    very 
abundant    in    California,    and    the    quail    often    eats 
from  1,000  to  1,600  of  the  little  corkscrew  seeds  at  a 
'meal.     It   affords    13.38    per   cent   of   the   year's   food, 
and  26.70  per  cent  of  the  June  diet. 
;     Seeds    of   miscellaneous    weeds    comprise    17  11    per 
cent  of  the  annual  food.     Among  the  species  included 
i  are    pigweed    (Chenopodium    album),    rough    pigweed 
,  (Amaranthus  retroflexus),  and  black  mustard   (Bras- 
asica  nigra) — especially  obnoxious  in  grain  fields — and 
[the  closely  related     weed,     wild     radish      (Raphanus 
sativus).      Seeds   of  shepherd's   purse    (Bursa   bursa- 
pastoris)    and    of    other    cruciferous    plants    are     in- 
.  eluded    in    common   with    silene   and   the    chickweeds 
|  (Cerastium  sp.   and  Alsine  media).     Geranium   seeds 
(are  so  much  relished  that  often  300  or  400  are  eaten 
at  a   time.      Two   closely   related   plants,   miner's   let- 
tuce  (Montia  perfoliata)   and  red  maids   (Calandrinia 
menziesii),  bear  minute  shiny  black  seeds  that  often 
jare  eaten   by  the   thousand.      The   little   seeds  of 'red 
sorrel    (Rumex   acetosella)    and   curled    dock    (Rumex 
crispus)    are    occasionally    taken    in    almost    as    large 
numbers.      Seeds    of    chess     (Bromus    secalinus    and 
,  Bromus    hordeaceus),    a    serious   grain   pest,   are   rel- 
ished,   and    hundreds    of   the   grain-like    seeds    of   the 
grass    known    as    "poison    darnel"    (Lolium    temulen- 
tum)    appear    in    crops    examined.      Macoun,    quoting 
Spreadborough.   states     that     in     British      Columbia, 
where  it  winters  successfully,  the  quail  finds  shelter 
in    severe    weather    under    the    broom    (Cytisus    sco- 
parius).  which  in  places  grows  abundantly  and  yields 
seed    for    subsistence.      (Cat.    Can.    Birds,    Part    I,    p. 
198.    1900.) 

The  quail  feeds  also  at  times  on  mast  A.  K. 
Fisher,  in  the  western  foothills  of  the  Sierra  Nevada, 
the  last  of  July,  found  both  young  and  adult  quail 
eating  young  acorns.  (N.  A.  Fauna.  No.  7.  p.  2S. 
1893.)  Small  quantities  of  sedge  seeds  (Carex  and 
Scirpus)  and  of  dodder  (Cuscuta)  are  eaten,  the 
latter  plant  being  a  destructive  parasite  on  legumi- 
nous forage  crops.  The  miscellaneous  seed  list  in- 
cludes also  stick  seeds  (Lappula  pp.).  buttercup 
(Ranunculus  sp.),  bind  weed  (Convolvulus  sp.),  Am- 
sinckia  sp.,  Anagallis  arvensis,  plain  tain  (Plantago 
major),  ribgrass  (Plantago  lanceolata),  painted  cup 
(Castilleja  sp.),  mountain  lilac  (Ceanothus  sp.).  and 
black  wattle  (Callicoma  serratifolia)  In  the  moun- 
tains of  Lower  California  the  food  supply  deter- 
mines the  breeding  time  of  birds.  If  there  is  not 
enough  rain  for  a  good  supply  of  seeds  the  coveys 
Of  quail  do  not  break  up  into  nesting  pairs  but  re- 
main in  coveys  throughout  the  summer.  If  the  sea- 
son is  wet  and  the  winter  rains  promise  abundant 
food  the  birds  mate  in  March  and  begin  nesting  im- 
mediately. (Life  Hist.  N.  A.  Birds  [I],  p.  27,  I  12.)

OUT-CROSSING  AND  ITS   METHODS. 

The  subject  of  cross-breeding,  or.  more  correctly, 
the  out-breeding  of  dogs,  is  of  great  interest,  and 
may  soon  be  also  one  of  great  importance  to  the 
kennel  world,  writes  J.  Sidney  Turner,  in  The  Illus- 
trated Kennel  News  To  establish  a  new  breed  of 
dogs  by  cross-breeding,  unless  carried  out  with  some 
knowledge  of  the  laws  of  breeding,  would  be  a  diffi- 
cult task,  and  require  long  time  to  secure  anything 
like  stability  of  type.  No  doubt  this  has  been  accom- 
plished to  a  certain  extent— e.  g.,  in  Retrievers,  which 
are  popularity  supposed  to  be  a  cross  between  our 
old  Setter  and  a  New  foundland,  or  more  probably 
a  Labrador,  at  least  in  the  case  of  the  fiat  coated 
variety.  Poodle  or  Irish  Water  Spaniel  blood  may 
have  been  used  in  the  curly  coated  breed.  The  Re- 
triever, however,  is  not  merely  the  result  of  a  cross 
between  the  varieties,  but  the  breed  has  been  estab- 
lished in  its  present  form  by  careful  selections  of 
specimens  and  by  again  infusing  some  of  the  parent 
blood.  It  becomes,  then,  a  very  important  matter,  in 
the  first  instance,  how  any  particular  outcross  is 
made,  and,  in  the  second,  whether  the  progeny  of 
this  outcross  is  bred  back  with  one  or  other  of 
the  parent  factors,  or  the  progeny  is  bred  "inter  se." 
The  terms  "outbred,"  "crossbred"  and  "hybrid"  should 
be  used  quite  differently,  and  really  imply  three  dif- 
ferent   degrees. 

By  "outbred"  it  should  be  understood  that  an  out- 
cross  with  another  variety  has  been  made,  the  pro- 
geny of  which  has  been  bred  back  again  to  an  indi- 
vidual of  the  same  breed  as  one  of  the  parent  factors. 
Now.  one  of  the  parent  factors,  which  we  will  call 
A,  will  probably  be  dominant  in  some  leading  char- 
acter: and  the  other  parent  factor,  called  B,  recessive 
in  that  character;  their  mongrel  progeny  will  show 
the  dominant  character,  but  will  contain  the  reces- 
sive and  dominant  gametes  in  equal  proportions.  If 
the  mongrels  be  bred  "inter  se,"  one-quarter,  25  per 
cent,  will  resemble  the  dominant  parent  factor;  one- 
half,  50  per  cent,  will  still  be  mongrels,  indistinguish- 
able, or  nearly  so,  from  the  former,  and  one-quarter, 
or  25  per  cent,  will  resemble  the  recessive  parent  fac- 
tor: if  the  recross  be  made  with  the  other  original 
factor  (or  a  similarly  bred  factor),  which,  not  being 
the  dominant,  is  called  the  recessive,  then  the  result 
will  be.  on  the  average,  that  half  the  progeny  will 
resemble  the  original  (the  recessive  parent,  and  half 
the  other  parent  or  the  mongrel  half-bred.  Let  A 
be  the  dominant,  B  the  recessive  and  Aa  the  mongrel 
taking  the  dominant  character.

A  Aa  Aa  B 

So  that,  if  Ave  desire  to  get  the  character  of  B 
maintained  in  the  next,  or  third,  generation,  when 
mated  back  to  another  B,  we  shall  have  what  is  vir- 
tual purity;  at  all  events,  the  breeding  will  be  true. 
It  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  this  will  be  an  in- 
variable result,  especially  if  the  breeding  be  carried 
out  on  a  small  scale:  but,  if  a  sufficiently  large  num- 
ber of  experiments  be  taken  into  account  Csay  a  few 
hundreds,  or.  better  still,  a  few  thousands),  the  same 
ratio  will  be  found  to  exist.  This  is  the  theory.  It  would 
be  difficult  to  lay  down  a  strictly  definite  rule  as 
to  what  outcross  might  or  might  not  be  allowed.  It 
would  be  absurd,  for  instance,  to  cross  a  Fox  with 
a  Skye  Terrier,  or  an  Irish  "Water  Spaniel  and  a 
Cocker.  It  would  be  much  less  absurd  to  cross  a 
Greyhound  with  Bulldog  (less  so  had  Bull  Terrier 
been  used),  as  was  done  in  the  beginning  of  the  last 
century.  It  is  difficult,  therefore,  to  define  any  hard 
and  fast  line;  any  outcross,  however,  must  be  made 
with  careful  consideration  as  to  its  utility.  The  above 
will  serve  to  define  what  I  mean  by  outbreeding. 
Cross  breeding  may  be  defined  simply  as  the  breed- 
ing between  any  two  breeds  of  the  species  of  "Canis 
domesticus":  hybridism  as  the  result  of  a  cross  be- 
tween two  distinct  species  of  the  dog  family  ("Can- 
aidae") — e.  g..  the  dog  and  wolf  cross.  As  the  pro- 
geny of  this  cross  will  breed  again,  it  can  hardly  be 
looked  upon  as  true  hybrid,  as  it  is  generally  ac- 
cepted by  naturalists  that  true  hybrids  never  breed. 
The  wolf  would  thus  appear  to  be  more  nearly  allied 
to  the  domestic  deg  than  is  generally  recognized. 

The  offspring  of  an  outcross  is  likely  to  exceed  in 
size  and  weight  those  of  the  mean  of  its  two  parents, 
but  as  a  general  rule  it  also  strengthens  the  consti- 
tution and  confers  a  greater  power  "f  resistance  to 
disease.  Great  care,  however,  should  be  taken  that 
the  outcross  should  possess  strength  and  vitality,  as 
the  result  of  breeding  two  weakly  specimens  together 
ially  if  their  weak  points  are  similar)  will 
probably  be  of  no  advantage  The  first  result  of  any 
outcross  will  be  that  one  variety  will  be  dominant 
over  the  other  as  regards  some  outward  character, 
and  it  by  no  means  follows  that  the  parent  possessing 
the  most  marked  charact  rs — e.  g.,  color  and  coat — 
will  be  the  most  potent  to  |  ro  lUC  these  in  the  off- 
spring. The  probabilit!  is  tl  i  the  dominant  char- 
a«  i'  r  of  that    i.i  renl  ■  est   t"  the  oi 

.;.  i!  !.  03    the   normal,  will  be  found  to  be  reproduced; 
hut   I  believe   it    i.s  imposs  '  i  prio        to  be 

degree   certain.     We,    ho  found    this    to   be   the 

case  in   the   rabbits,   whei  orl    brown   fur  was 

dominant   over   the  I    the   normal    black 

eyes  were  domh   ml   over  the  pink.    Results  were  also 
similar  in  the  case  ol  ither  ex- 

ample in  dogs  (though  it  is  not   rigl  by  an 

isolated   example),    we    notice    the   effect   of  the   cross 


between  a  long-faced  Greyhound  and  short-faced 
Bulldog,  where  the  offspring,  "Half-and-Half."  de- 
picted in  Stonehei  was  long-faced,  though 
not  so  long  as  the  Greyhound  parent  probable,  still 
much  longer  than  the  mean  of  the  two  parents.  The 
Greyhound's  head  exceeds  the  normal  length  while 
the  Bulldog's  is  much  below  it,  the  result  being  that 
the  normal  wild  or  feral  type,  as  seen  in  the  dingo, 
is  reverted  to. 

However,  I  wish  to  show  that,  no  matter  what 
the  dominant  type  in  the  offspring  may  be,  the  off- 
spring   contains    in    its    germinal    cells    (its    br< 

ties)  the  elements  which  are  inherent  in  both 
of  the  parents— recessive  though  they  may  be— and 
which  was  enunciated  by  George  Mendel,  an  Aus- 
trian monk,  who  first  published  it  in  the  joui  i 
the  Brunn  Scientific  Society  in  1S65.  No  biologist  ap- 
pears to  have  paid  much  attention  to  this  brilliant 
discovery  until  1900.  but  since  that  time  the  cele- 
brated botanists.  De  Yries.  Correns  an  I  Tschermak, 
and  equally  well  known  zoologists  like  Professor 
Bateson.  of  Cambridge:  A.  D.  Darbishire,  of  Oxford; 
Dr.  Allen,  Miss  Durham,  C.  C  Hunt.  F.  L.  S.,  and 
W.  E.  Castle,  in  America,  have  carried  out  an  enor- 
mous number  of  experiments  on  plants,  white  and 
other  mice  and  Angora  and  Belgian  hare  (so-called) 
rabbits,  with  the  most  interesting  results.  In  the  case 
of  the  mice,  white  albino  mice  and  the  yellow  and 
white,  but  black  eyed.  Japanese  waltzing  mice  were 
used.  All  the  mongrel  progeny  were  black  eyed  mice, 
as  the  black  eye,  being  the  normal,  was  dominant, 
and  the  pink  eye  recessive;  but  when  the  mongrels, 
or  hybrids,  were  bred  "inter  se,"  one-fourth,  or  25 
per  cent,  again  had  pink  eyes;  and  when  the  mon- 
grels were  mated  back  to  a  pink  eyed  mouse  one-half 
had  pink  eyes  and  the  other  half  the  normal  black. 

When,  however,  in  the  third  generation  extracted 
white  pink  eyed  mice  (bred  from  the  mongrels  "inter 
se")  were  mated  with  a  pure  bred  white  mouse  all 
had  pink  eyes;  and  they  continued  to  breed  purely, 
as  though  there  had  been  no  outcross.  Similar  re- 
sults were  obtained  by  Mr.  Hurst  in  his  experiments 
with  white  Angora  long  haired,  pink  eyed  rabbits  and 
the  brown  Belgians.  All  the  first  progeny — forty-two 
— had  short  brown  coats.  The  crosses  were  made 
reciprocally — i.-e..  a  white  Angora  buck  and  brown 
Belgian  doe,  and  the  reverse  cross  by  a  brown  Bel- 
gian buck  and  white  Angora  doe;  but  the  results 
were  identically  the  same  This  proves,  as  regards 
the  coat,  that  sex  of  sire  or  dam  had  no  effect.  Sim- 
ilar results  as  with  the  mice  followed  the  breeding 
in  the  second  generation  of  the  mongrel  rabbits — 
that  is  to  say,  one-fourth  of  the  progeny  were  An- 
goras and  three-fourths  had  brown  short  coats.  The 
exact  numbers  were  seventeen  and  fifty- three,  re- 
spectively. In  all  statistics  dealing  with  limited  num- 
bers, the  numbers  cannot  be  quite  exact,  but  if  they 
are  so  near  the  mark  as  to  show  that  the  law  is 
operative,  and  the  same  result  is  always  repeated,  the 
law  must  be  accepted  as  established. 

The  sub-committee  appointed  by  the  Kennel  Club 
to  deal  with  this  will  doubtless  take  into  considera- 
tion the  amount  of  outcrossing  and  how  that  has 
been  neutralized  by-  subsequent  breeding,  so  that  the 
requisite  amount  of  purity  of  any  breed  of  dogs  in 
question  has  been  maintained.  Into  the  question 
of  desirability  for  an  outcross  I  do  not  propose  to 
enter,  as  it  is  sufficiently  obvious  in  many  of  the 
breeds  of  degs  which  could  be  readily  enumerated. 

It  has  been  said  above  that  the  outcross  should 
be  defined  as  one  made  "with  another  variety." 
Strictly  speaking,  it  should  be  with  another  variety 
of  the  same  breed — e.  g.,  in  the  Spaniel  group  or  the 
Setter  group.  There  may.  however,  arise  cases  where 
the  groups  as  defined  in  the  K.  C.  Index  of  Breeds 
may  be  too  limited  and  specialized.  Roughly  speak- 
ing, there  are  groups,  comprising  Hounds,  hunting  by 
scent;  Greyhound  type  of  dog,  hunting  by  sight; 
Setter,  Spaniel.  Retriever,  Terrier.  Mnlossus,  Sheep- 
dog. Bulldog  and  Spitz  groups,  besides  others  which 
cannot  be  classed  under  any  of  the  above  head — 
can  again  be  made  to  manifest  themselves  in  future 
offspring  This  can  be  done  in  two  ways:  either  by 
inter-breeding  of  the  mongrels,  when,  according  to 
Mendel's  law.  one- fourth  of  their  progeny  will  re- 
assume  the  recessive  character  <  which  had  appar  - 
ently  disappeared),  and  then  using  this  one-fourth 
to  recross  to  the  desired  strain,  when  something  very 
near  approaching  real  purity  will  have  been  attained: 
or  the  more  direct  method  of  breeding  the  mongrel 
first  generation  back  to  the  desired  strain,  when  one- 
half  of  the  offspring  will  be  virtually  pure,  and  this 
half  bred  again  into  the  desired  strain  will  give  the 
purity  desired,  and  which  will  continue,  and  which 
will  continue.  Anyway,  we  see  that  it  takes  three 
generations  of  correct  breeding  to  re-establish  the 
purity  of  ihe  breed  from  which  the  outcross  was 
made:  and  anything  which  does  not  come  within 
i  hese  or  similar  conditions  should  be  suspected  and 
1:--  marke  i  by  a  "bar  sinister."  which  ought  not  to 
be  removed  from  the  family  escutcheon  at  earliest 
before  the  third  generation  has  been  established. 
Much  more  m'.ght  be  written  upon  this  subject,  'but

every    trait    and    expression    of   the    breed.      Countess 
is  a   perfect  golden  sable  and  white,  with  white  col- 
lar, white  breast,  legs,  and  tip  of  tail.     She  was  sired 
by  the  famous  Champion  Ballyarnett  Eclipse,  and  has 
the    characteristics    of    her    great    sire.      When    only 
nine  months  old  she  was  benched  at  Portland,  where 
she    won    entirely    through    the    Collie    class,    besides 
winning   five   special   trophies.      She   repeated   this   at 
S  tie  in  October  last,  where  she  ran  up  to  seven 

of   her  ten  necessary  points   for  an   A.    K.   C.   cham- 
pionship. 

Before  coming  to  Dr.  Kloeber's  kennels.  Countess 
won  largely  in  the  Eastern  shows. 

Bo-Peep,  the  first  named,  is  a  full  sister  of  Mr. 
J.  Pierpont  Morgan's  famous  Collie.  Champion  Wis- 
haw  Clinker,  who  won  the  trophy  for  best  dog  of  any 
breed  in  the  show  of  the  Westminster  Kennel  Club 
show  last  year. 

Brookmere  Hazel  is  a  beautiful  young  bitch  with 
perfect  markings  and  a  head  of  rare  type.  She  won 
three  trophies  at  the  Collie  Breeders'  Association 
show  at  Chicago  last  spring,  and  first  novice  at  Spo- 
kane. She  promises  to  develop  into  a  great  winner. 
Glen  Tana  Mollie  comes,  prior  to  her  advent  on 
the  Coast,  from  Mr.  Palmer's  kennels  near  New  York 
City,  and  is  a  daughter  of  the  famous  Champion 
Rightaway.  Mollie  has  always  stood  second  to  the 
other  dogs  in  Dr.  Klober's  kennels  in  the  bench 
shows. 

Winnetka  Wallace,  and  Winnetka  Wildfire  are  both 
sons  of  Champion  Christopher  and  are  the  most  prom- 
ising pair  of  Collie  puppies  in  the  West.  They  are 
perfect  sable  and  white  dogs,  with  heads  of  rare 
perfection,  perfect  ear  carriage  and  splendidly 
coated.  Experts  look  for  these  puppies  to  develop 
something  that  will  make  history  in  the  Collie  world. 
Craigmore  Councillor  is  a  son  of  Champion  Park- 
hill  Perfection  and  is  a  remarkably  fine  specimen 
of   the  breed. 

The  dogs  are  immensely  popular  with  the  guests 
of  the  Green  River  Hot  Springs?  and  are  a  never  end- 
ing source  of  amusement  for  those  living  at  the 
hoel.  They  make  friends  with  every  guest  and  the 
different  dogs  always  have  some  favorite  among  the 
guests.  They  know  the  regular  patrons  of  the  place 
as  they  come  from  time  to  time,  and  always  extend 
their  welcome.

Bad   Faith   in  a   Dog   Sale. 

C.  W.  Buttles,  of  Kansas  City,  who  was  suspended 
for  miserpresentation  in  selling  a  dog,  by  the  Pacific 
Advisory  Board,  has  appealed  to  the  A.  K.  C.  It  is 
claimed  Mr.  Buttles  proposes  to  secure  favorable 
testimony,  for  his  side  of  the  case,  from  Mr.  Jas. 
Cole   of  Kansas  City. 

From  what  is  known  of  this  phase  of  the  matter — 
prior  to  Mr.  Buttles'  appeal — we  are  inclined  to  be- 
lieve the  appellant,  who  is  now  over  his  knees  in 
the  mire,  will  sink  completely  out  of  sight  in  a  bog 
of  his  own  creation.  If  what  we  have  heard  of  the 
matter  is  true,  permanent  disqualification  will  prob- 
ably be  Mr.   Buttles'   reward. 


SPORTSMEN'S   CALENDARS   FOR   1906.

GOSSIP  FOR  SPORTSMEN. 


Hunting  Notes. 

H.  W.  Buehne  of  Eureka,  Humboldt  county,  ap- 
peared on  Sportsmen's  Row  Thursday.  He  stated 
that  the  Eureka  sportsmen  have  ha-d  much  sport 
shooting  sea  or  black  brant  recently.  The  birds  were 
more  numerous  than  for  years  past. 

Early  this  week  several  of  his  fellow  sportsmen 
were  on  Buehne's  shooting  ground,  at  the  southern 
part  of  Humboldt  bay,  and  bad  the  duck  shoot  of 
their  lives.  Ducks  were  never  so  plentiful  as  they 
have  been  for  the  past  week  or  two. 

Duck  hunting  on  the  Suisun  marshes  this  week  has 
been  generally  excellent.  The  norther  prevailing  early 
this  week  wras  accountable  for  the  flight  of  ducks  in 
that  section. 

General  results  on  the  Alameda  marshes  last  Sunday 
were  better  at  Mt  Eden  than  in  most  other  sections 
of  the  marsh. 

The  rain  this  week  should  make  duck  shooting  gen- 
erally good  about  the  bay  marshes  today  and  tomor- 
row. 

Quail  hunters  wr;ll  no  doubt  appreciate  the  favor- 
able change  in  ground  and  cover  conditions  brought 
about  by  the  rains. 


PETERS  CARTRIDGE  CO 'S  CALENDAR 

Striped    Bass    Notes. 

Between  forty  and  fifty  rods  were  at  work  on  San 
Antonio  slough  last  Sunday.  The  best  catch  was  made 
by  J.  G.  Bliss;  a  twenty-five  pounder  and  a  twelve 
and  one-half  pound  fish  were  his  catch.  Not  more 
than  fifteen  fish  summed  up  the  total  catch. 

A  large  number  of  anglers  were  also  at  Schell 
slough.     Results  were  also  fair. 

Numbers  of  striped  bass,  fairly  good  sized  ones,  are 
being  caught  at  Vallejo  Trolling  from  the  Star 
Mills,  South  Vallejo.  up  stream  to  the  "graveyard,"  is 
Hi.'  lust  fishing  ground. 

The  San  Francisco  Striped  Bass  Club  held  an  en- 
joyable outing  at  Vallejo  Junction.  The  best  catch  of 
the  day  was  made  by  Chef  Breidenstein — a  savory 
clam  chowder,  which  was  put  away  in  regulation  order 
by    the  anglers   present. 

The  San  Francisco  Striped  Bass  Club  are  contem- 
lating  tin ■  purchase  of  a  fine,  large  ark.  If  acquired 
i"  Ho  club,  tlie  ark  will  be  located  in  San  Antonio 
slough. 


Two  Art  Works. 

Two  elegant  calendars  for  next  year  issued  by  th        , 
DuPont    Powder    Company    and    the    Laflin    &    Rani    ^ 
Powder  Company  will  be  issued  and  ready  for  distri 
bution  next  month.     The  regular  size  of  these  calen 
dars  is  15  by  29%   inches.     They  are  lithographed  t 
from  twelve  to  fourteen  colors. 

The  cuts  received  originally  were  too  large  for  on 
columns  and  pending  the  arrival  of  smaller  cuts  w 
call  the  attention  of  sportsmen  to  their  publication. 

The  DuPont  calendar  is  a  strikingly  good  represen 
tation  of  a  duck  shooting  incident,  the  Laflin  &  Ram 
calendar  illustrates  an  episode  in  big  game  hunting- 
a    hunter    surprised    in    camp,    under    his    birch    ba: 
canoe,   by  a  big  bull  moose. 

Both  subjects  are  beautifully  treated  and  the  calen, 
dars  are  such  as  we  presume  every  sportsman  wo 
like   to   possess. 


Peters  Cartridge  Company. 

The  calendar  for  1906  issued  by  the  Peters  Ca: 
ridge  Company  is  fully  up  to  the  high  standard  set 
this  company  in  past  years.  It  is  of  the  usual  si 
and  depicts  that  proud  moment  in  the  experience 
a  big  game  hunter,  when  he  emerges  from  the  fori 
depths,  bringing  the  much  przed  moose  head,  bo 
on  the  back  of  his  guide.  The  calendar  is  hai 
somely  lithographed  in  twelve  colors,  and  embossi 
and  will  doubtless  be  much  sought  for  by  deal 
and  sportsmen  generally.  It  will  be  sent  to  any  at. 
dress  upon  application  to  the  Peters  Cartridge  Com 
pany,  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  with  enclosure  of  10 
or  coin  to  cover  the  cost  of  mailing. 

For  the  small  cost  and  slight  expense  the  aboS 
noted  artistic  publications  should  be  written  for,  a*j 
once,  by  every  sportsman. 

To  insure  a  quick  response,  in  the  face  of  an  extri 
large  demand,  we  will  suggest  to  those  sending  foi 
either,  or  all,  of  the  above  calendars,  a  mention  tha 
the  request  is  through  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.

TRADE    NOTES. 


A    New  Self-Loading    Rifle. 

The  Winchester  Model  1905  self-loading  rifle  is  I 
hammerless  take-down,  made  in  .32  and  .35  calibers 
It  is  the  first  rifle  of  the  self-loading  type  made  foi 
center  fire  ammunition,  the  cartridges  it  handles  be- 
ing of  the  modern  smokeless  powder  type,  using  metal 
patched  bullets.  The  .32  caliber  shoots  a  165-grain 
bullet  and  gives  a  velocity  of  1400  feet  seconds  and 
a  penetration  of  11%  inch  dry  pine  boards  with 
metal  patched  soft  point  bullet.  The  .35  caliber  shoots 
a  180-grain  bullet  and  gives  a  velocity  of  1400  foot 
seconds  and  a  penetration  of  10%  inch  dry  pine  boards 
with  a  metal  soft  point  patched  bullet.  As  these  fig- 
ures show,  both  cartridges  give  excellent  penetration, 
and  with  metal  patched  soft  point  bullets  they  have 
great  shocking  effect  on  animal  tissue.  As  its  name 
indicates,  this  rifle  is  self-loading.  The  recoil  of  the 
exploded  cartridge  ejects  the  empty  shell,  cocks  the 
hammer  and  feeds  a  fresh  cartridge  from  the  maga- 
zine into  the  chamber,  laving  the  rifle  ready  to-  be 
shot  upon  the  operators  pulling  the  trigger.  The  maga- 
zine is  of  the  box  type  and  holds  five  cartridges.  B* 
inserting  a  cartridge  in  the  chamber  before  placing 
the  loaded  magazine  in  the  gun,  the  operator  hi 
six  shots  at  his  disposal.  The  stock  is  14  inches  loi 
and  finished  with  a  rubber  butt-plate;  drop  at  co: 
1%  inches;  drop  at  heel,  2%  inches;  length  of  gun 
over  all,   40  inches.

A    Word    to   the    Wise. 

The  following:  instances  show  some  good  records 
which  speak  volumes  for  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker 
gun: 

At  Waco,  Texas,  on  October  12  and  13,  M.  E.  Atchi- 
son, shooting;  the  Parker  gun,  was  high  man,  having 
broken  353  out  of  400,  at  19  yards,  in  a  gale  of  wina. 

On  August  3,  at  South  Tacoma,  Wash.,  Mr.  E.  W. 
Cooper  won  the  championship  at  the  amateur  contest, 
having  scored  25  straight,  against  54  other  shooters. 
Mr.  Cooper  was  also  third  high  average..  On  the  sec- 
ond day  Mr.  Sam  Wray  was  third  high  average  Bo$i 
of  these  gentlemen  shoot  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker 
gun. 

On  October  27  and  2S,  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  Mr.  R.  S. 
Rhoads,  shooting  the  Parker  gun,  won  first  general 
average,  breaking  194  out  of  200  on  the  first  day,  and 
169  out  of  200  on  the  second  day.  Mr.  Rhoads  was 
high  average  on  the  first  day  and  second  high  average 
on  the  second  day,  making  high  general  average  for 
both  days.  At  the  Cincinnati  tournament,  Mr.  Rhoads 
was  high  amateur  and  third  general  average,  and 
was  the  only  amateur  who  stood  at  20  yards,  he  shoot- 
ing at  20  yards  two  days,  and  at  19  yards  one  day. 

All  of  the  above  are  exceedingly  good  scores,  and 
speak  well  for  the  "Old  Reliable"  Parker  gun. 


On  a  hot  day  drink  Jackson's  Napa  Soda  lemonades 
and  be  refreshed.

PHOTOGRAPH  of  DAN  PATCH  FINISHING  m  MILE  IN  1:55}  at  LEXINGTON 

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

Dan  left  a  stud  service  of  52  mares  June  15  and  made  his  first  exhibition  in  September.  He  broke  4  World  Records  and  the  Canadian  half-mile  track  record, 
traveled  6000  miles  in  66  days  and  finished  the  season  strong,  vigorous,  in  perfect  condition  and  very  promising  for  speed  exhibitions  next  year.  He  will  be  driven  to 
sleigh  on  the  streets  of  Minneapolis  this  winter,  as  usual,  and  will  make  a  spring  stud  season  at  International  Stock  Food  Farm,  10  miles  from  Minneapolis,  closing  June 
1st,  1906.     8§THis  book  is  rapidly  filling.

BUT    ALSO 


A    GREAT    SIREI. 


1905  was  the  first  season  for  his  colts  to  race  and  six  of  them  entered  the  list  and  five  others  have  been  miles  below  2:20  this  year.  Ed  Patch  2:0SJ4  leads  the 
list  by  starting  in  11  races  and  winning  7.  He  was  second  in  2  and  third  in  2  and  has  paced  below  2:07.  All  of  Dan's  colts  are  extremely  speedy  and  there  is  no 
question  but  what  Dan  Patch  will  be  one  of  the  greatest  sires  that  has  ever  lived.

Blood,  Extra  Strength,  Endurance,  Courage  and  Nerve  Force  which  is  sure  to  give  your  horse  more  speed.  We  feed  it  every  day  to  our  stallions  Dan  Patch  1 :55 %  ,

Stock  Food  is  prepared  from  Medicinal  Roots,  Barks.  Seeds  and  Herbs.  It  is  absolutely  harmless  for  stock  in  any  condition  and  can  be  taken  into  the  human  system 
in  perfect  safety. 


DAN  IN  HIS  RACES 

Dan  Patch  Never  Lost  A  Race.  In  all  his  races  it  was  invariably  Eton  first  and  the  rest 
nowhere  and  it  made  no  difference  to  Dan  how  fast  they  could  race.  He  always  had  a  large 
reserve  of  speed  that  could  be  depended  on  for  a  race  of  any  speed.  He  met  and  defeated 
Harold  H.  2:04,  Searchlight  2:03*4,  Connor  2:03#,  Indiana  2:04%  and  Riley  B.  2  C6H  just  as 
easily  as  as  he  had  defeated  2:15  horses  in  former  races.  These  horses  were  acknowledged 
to  be  the  very  cream  of  the  pacing  division.  The  truth  is.  Dan  was  so  immeasurably  superior 
in  speed  and  stamina  that  the  very  best  horses  were  commonplace  in  comparison.  In  his 
racing  career  he  paced  fifty-six  contested  heats,  losing  only  two.  In  oneof  these  he  hit  the 
wheel  and  in  the  other  was  held  back  in  order  to  size  up  a  field  of  very  fast  horses.  His  last 
race  was  his  best,  because  with  the  fastest  field  ever  opposed  to  him  he  let  them  do  the 
leading  and  only  extended  himself  in  the  last  half  of  both  miles.  Having  Out-Classed  Him-

Keep   the   quarters  dry  and  clean  and 
ly  will  less  food  be  required  but 
.  results  in  egg  production  be  se- 
cured. 

To  have  poultry  tender  and  juicy, 
it  should  he  fattened  quickly.  The  bet- 
Ian  is  to  keep  in  a  good  thrifty 
lition,  then  feed  liberally  for  two 
weeks  before  marketing.  Give  all  that 
they  will  eat  five  times  a  day  after 
once  commencing  to  fatten. 

It  is  never  a  good  plan,  when  it  can 
he  avoided,  to  keep  turkeys  confined 
for  any  length  of  time.  By  far  the 
better  plan  is  to  feed  liberally  while 
they  have  a  free  run  and  get  into  a 
good  condition  and  then  ten  days  of 
liberal  feeding  with  a  good  fattening 
ration  will  properly  finish  for  market. 
When  egg  foods  and  condition  pow- 
ders are  given,  the  benefits  from  such 
is  due  more  to  the  fact  that  they  sup- 
ply something  that  ine  poultryman 
fails  to  give  .rather  than  because  of 
any  sustenance  contained  that  induces 
laying.  The  hen  only  lays  when  she 
is   ca;  -    implying  the  materials 

for  producing  an  ess.  and  condiments

Troy  Chemical  Co..  Binghamton.N.  Y.: 

Nearly  two  years  ago  we  had  a  horse  with  a 
ringbone,  so  lame  that  we  could  not  work  him. 
We  tried  "Save  the-Horse"  on  him  and  he  has 
worked  everyday  since  and  does  not  go  lame  at 
all.  Now  we  have  a  horse  we  think  is  getting  a 
spavin  and  we  wish  to  try  it  on  him:  so  you  will 
please  send  us  another  bottle  and  an  8-oz  box  of 
"Save-the-Horse"  Ointment.  Enclosed  find  check 
forJo.cO  in  payment  of  same.    Yours  truly.

After  using  "Save-the-Horse"  on  my  driving 
horse,  on  what  you  pronounced  blind  spavin  1 
have  today  a  sound  horse.  When  I  started  he 
■could  not  get  over  an  SsS  in  the  doorway  without 
jumping,  and  it  was  misery  to  ride  behind  him 
E  can  most  highly  recommend  it.  Trusting  this 
information  will  be  of  service  to  you,  I  remain 
respectfully  yours,

Dear  Sirs:— "Save-the-Horse"  completely  cured 
my  mare  of  the  very  wurst  kind  of  Wind  Galls 
and  Bowed  Tendons,  and  she  is  now  clean  and 
perfectly  sound.  I  used  four  bottles  on  all  four 
legs.  You  would  never  know  she  ever  had  any- 
thing the  matter  with  her.  A  veterinary  surgeon 
saw  her  one  day  when  her  legs  were  swollen  up 
to  twice  their  natural  size,  and  he  laughed  at  me 
and  said  it  would  never  take  them  off,  but  I  have 
had  the  laugh  on  him  since  I  will  admit  atone 
time  mv  faith  was  very  weak,  but  the  fourth 
bottle  finished  the  job  completely,  and  I  thank 
you  again  for  the  kind  way  you  treated  me 
I  remain  yours  verv  truly,

Boston,  Mass  ,  Jan.  21. 
Dear  Sirs:— I  have  used  a  bottle  of  '"Save-the- 
Borse,"  and  I  consider  it  the  best  thing  that  as 
yet  I  have  been  able  to  obtain  for  what  it  was 
intended,  it  having  entirely  cured  a  very  valuable 
mare  which  has  been  lame  since  last  September 
with  a  sprained  ankle.  We  had  her  blistered 
twice  and  laid  up  for  two  months,  but  it  did  no 
good.  I  was  just  about  ready  to  breed  her  when  I 
gave  it  a  trial;  she  is  now  entirely  sound. 
Yours  respectfully. 

ALBERT  E.  BAKER. 


Chatham,  Mass. 
Gentlemen:— Three  years  ago  a  spavin  ap- 
peared on  one  of  my  horses  I  spent  considerable 
time  treating  it,  but  it  began  to  grow  and  finally 
developed  into  a  bog  spavin  as  big  as  a  hen's  egg. 
Last  May  I  gave  the  mare  a  long,  hard  drive,  and 
the  following  day  she  refused  to  rest  any  weight 
upon  the  leg.  I  about  decided  her  working  d  ys 
were  over,  when  I  saw  your  advertisement  and 
sent  for  a  bottle  of  *Save-the-Horse."  In  a  few 
days  I  saw  marked  improvement,  and  in  less  than 
three  months  the  mare  traveled  squarely  as  ever 
and,  ceased  to  favor  lee  in  any  way;  and  now, 
after  using  about  four-fifths  of  bottle,  the  swell- 
ing Is  all  gone  and  the  cure  is  complete,  and  I 
most  sincerely  recommend  your  treatment  for 
such  cases.    Very  tru  y  yours.

what  particular  kind  of   shooting  you   are  Interested  In— sportsmen  differ  as  to  make  of

:■ 


"EXCELLENT    RACING,    and     a     well      conducted 
meeting;"  is  the  report  made  by  every  returning;  horse- 
man who  attended  the  harness  meeting  given  at  Los 
Angeles  last  week.     The  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse 
Association,  of  which  Mr.  A.  W.  Bruner  is  secretary 
and  manager,  deserved  a  better  fate  than  to  run  the 
meeting     at     a     loss,     and    we     hope     the     gentlemen 
who  organized    the  association,    and    subscribed    the 
money     which      made      the      meeting      possible      will 
not    be    discouraged    over    the    financial    loss    which 
they    sustained,    but    will     try     it     again     next     year 
and,  profiting  by  this  year's  experiences,   will  be  en- 
abled to  give  a  meeting  in  1906  that  will  make  good 
all  their  losses  and  leave  them  a  nice  profit  beside. 
We  do  not   share   with   our   correspondent   "Hidalgo" 
the  opinion  that  Los  Angeles  is  not  now  a  good  har- 
ness racing  town  because  in  former  years  there  was 
cheating  in  harness  races   there.     Many  turf  writers, 
and  especially  those  who  have  in  late  years  devoted 
the  most  of  their  attention   to -the  literature   of  the 
running   turf  are   very   prone,    when    writing   of   "the 
decadence    of     trotting,"     to     make     a     summer     out 
of    one    swallow.    'That    the    harness    racing    at    Los 
Angeles  was  any  less  honest  than  the  running  racing 
held  there  then  and  now,  we  do  not  believe.    The  sum- 
maries of  the  harness  meetings  formerly  held  in  Los 
Angeles,  even  during  the  time  when  the  old  associa- 
tion was  interested  in   the   booking  privilege,   do  not 
carry    out    Hidalgo's     insinuation     that     the     harness 
horsemen    were    racing    dishonestly    as    a    rule.      Los 
Angeles   has   been   made   a   poor   harness    racing   city 
for  the  same  reason  that  San  Francisco,  New  York, 
Chicago  and  St.  Louis  are  not  considered  good  points 
for  the  holding  of  harness  meetings.     Long  continued 
running  meetings  have  turned  nearly  all  the  strictly 
sporting    portion     of    the    American     public     to     "the 
ponies,"    and    those   who    do    not    care' to   bet    on   the 
races  can  not  be  depended  upon  to  attend  a  four  or 
five  days'  meeting  of  any  sort.     That  there  are  a  very 
large   number    of   people    in    Los   Angeles    who    enjoy 
contests     between     harness     horses     is  proven  by  the 
fact  that  the  matinees  given  by  the  Los  Angeles  Driv- 
ing Club  on   Saturdays  and  holidays  draw  from  four 
to  eight  thousand  people,  even  though  the  big  running 
meeting  is  on  at  Ascot  Park  at  the  same  time      True, 
these  matinee  races  are  not  for  money,  no  betting  is 
done  and  no  admission  fee  charged  at  the  gate,   but 
several    thousand  people   would   not  attend   them   did 
they  not  enjoy  speed  contents  between  horses  in  har- 
ness.     That    those   whose   principal   love   for   a   horse 
race  is  the  opportunity  it  affords  to  win  or  lose  money, 
much    prefer    running    to    trotting    races,    is    not    dis- 
puted by  anyone  who  has  any  knowledge  of  the  two 
varieties  of   sport.     The  gambling   element   has   gone 
over  en  masse   to  the  runners,  and  associations  that 
give    harness    meetings    cannot    expect    to    win    them 
back.     As  a  gambling  proposition  the  harness  racing 
is  no  more  to  be  compared  to  running  racing  than  .< 
game  of  whist  is  to  draw  poker.     Because  Ibe  meeting 
held  last  week  at  Los  Angeles  resulted  in  a  financial 
loss  is  not  to  be  laid  at  the  door  of  a  few    bad  races 
years    ago.      The    Los    Angeles    Association    probably 
tried  to  be  a  little  too  generous  to  the  horsemen.    II 
gave   loo   many   $1000   purses.     A   saving  of   S2000    in 
the  amount   given  for  races   would    have  saved   them 
from    loss   and    attracted    just    as    main     entries.      The 
desire  to  give  good  liberal  purses  is  commendable  in 
the  extreme,  but  does  not  always  pay.     In  thi    palm] 
days  of  harness  racing  at  Los  Angeles,    when 
two   weeks  sport   was  all   the   people   had   during   the 
year,  the  majority  of  purses  were  only  $500,  with  an 
occasional   one   of   $1000   or   perhaps    $2000    for   a    big 
event   in   which    the   champions  of  the   State   started. 


At  that  famous  meeting  in  Los  Angeles  in  lsiil.  when 
M.  Kinney.  Frank  M  .  Silas  Skinner  and  Wanda  corn- 
ice! In  the  race  that  is  still  talked  about,  and  which 
was  for  a  purse  of  $1500,  the  aggregate  of  all  the 
>'  lrses  trotted  an  I  paced  for  during  the  week  was  less 
than  $6000,  "i  Bve  thousand  less  than  the  amount  dis- 
tributes at  the  meeting  last  week.  Had  the  Los 
Angeles  meeting  been  a  financial  success,  our  es- 
teemed correspondent  would  in  all  probability  have 
refrained  turn  saying  that  harness  racing  is  dead 
there,  a  statement  which  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
believes  is  unwarranted  by  the  facts,  and  which  we 
believe  Hidalgo  arrived  at  by  comparison  with  the 
running  meetings  held  at  Ascot  Park  during  the  win- 
ter. From  the  prices  paid  at  the  sale  of  harness 
horses  held  during  the  meeting  we  should  say  the 
trotter  is  s  ill  a  very  popular  animal  with  the  Los  An- 
gelenos.  and  we  sincerely  hope  an  !  confidently  believe 
that  the  Harness  Horse  Association  of  the  southern 
metropolis  will  be  a  prominent  member  of  the  Call-' 
fornia  harness  racing  circuit  of  1906.  and  that  it  will 
give  one  or  more  meetings  during  the  year  that  will 
not  only  be  as.  successful  from  a  racing  standpoint 
as  the  excellent  one  just  held,  but  wili  wipe  out  all 
the  losses  of  this  year's  meeting  and  leave  a  balance 
of  profit   iii   the   treasury. 


THOROUGHBRED  DEPARTMENT. 


THE  LAST  CALL  for  nominations  in  the  $7000 
Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  for  foals  of  mares  bred  in 
1905.  The  stake  closes  for  nominations  of  mares  next 
Monday,  December  4th.  Do  you  want  to  race  your 
colt  when  he  is  two  or  three  years  old?  If  so,  just 
remember  that  a  colt  that  is  not  entered  in  stakes, 
no  matter  how  fast  he  may  be,  cannot  earn  enough 
to  pay  his  car  fare  from  one  track  to  another,  while 
the  one  that  is  staked  and  can  win,  generally  puts 
enough  money  in  the  bank  to  keep  himself  and  his 
owner  comfortably  for  several  years.  If  your  mare 
looks  as  if  you  were  going  to  get  something  in  the 
spring  for  the  money  you  paid  out  this  year  for  ser- 
vice fee,  better  send  her  name  and  breeding  and  $2 
(don't  forget  the  $2)  to  Secretary  F.  W.  Kelley  at 
36  Geary  street.  San  Francisco,  on  or  before  Monday 
next.    After  that  time  it  will  be  too  late. 


TWO  BIG  STAKES  offered  by  the  Westchester 
Racing  Association,  to  close  and  name  at  midnight 
of  Friday,  December  15th,  are  advertised  in  our  col- 
umns this  week  The  National  Stallion  Race  has 
$5000  added,  and  is  for  then  two-year-olds  to  run 
during  the  spring  meeting  of  1907.  The  Matron,  with 
$10,000,  is  for  foals  of  1906  to  run  at  the  autumn 
meeting  of  190S.  The  full  conditions  governing  these 
tow  rich  events  will  be  found  in  the  advertisement. 


THE  DURFEE  SALE  at  LOs  Angeles  came  off  dur- 
ing the  meeting  there  last  week  as  advertised,  but  the

Money  lost  in  a  gambling  house  in  some  Slates  maj

Supreme  Court  recently  in  o  tesl  case  referring  to 
the  constitutionality  of  the  State  law  ot  Ohio  against

is  Constitutional,  but  that  the  owner  of  the  ho  ise 
where  gambling  is  carried  on.  with  his  knowledge,  is 
responsible  for  losses  sustain..  I  in  tin  games  This

The  New  California  Jockey  Club  officers  ought  to 
take  up  the  matter  of  how  horses  should  be  started 
at  a  very  early  date.  I  say  this  for  the  reason  that 
too  many  heavily-backed  animals  are  being  left  un- 
der the  present  plan,  and  it  entails  dissatisfaction 
that  could  be  avoided  if  the  club  adopted  some  other 
plan  than  the  one  now  in  vogue.  To  give  an  idea  of 
the  heartaches  felt  during  th:s  meeting  by  backers 
of  horses  that  had  no  chance  after  the  barrier  was 
raise!,  to  say  nothing  of  the  imprecations  hurled  at 
the  starter  over  these  affairs,  I  will  give  a  list  of 
horses,  from  November  11th  on.  that  were  either  left 
outright  or  nearly  so.  all  heavily  backed:  Bearcatcher 
on  the  first  day.  Aronalis  and  Bearcatcher  on  Novem- 
ber 16.  Silver  Sue  and  Possart  on  November  17,  Rey 
Dare  on  November  IS,  Royal  Rogue  on  November  20. 
Confederate  and  Corn  Blossom  on  November  22, 
Rightful  and. Reservation  on  November  24.  Silver  Sue 
and  Comiflo  ,on  November  25.  and  Haviland  on  No- 
vember 27.  Here  were  fourteen  well-played  horses 
that  did  not  receive  a  fair  start  in  as  many  days  of 
racing,  or  an  average  of,  I  will  say,  $4000  per  after- 
noon "burnt  up"  by  the  barrier  wielder  under  the  pres- 
ent plan  of  starting  horses.  The  time  is  certainly- 
ripe  to  take  up  the  matter,  and  I  would  suggest  that 
the  Mars  Cassidy  plan  of  walking  the  gallopers  up 
slowly  like  a  lot  of  cavalry  horses  be  tested.  The 
standing  start  has  been  tried  and  found  wanting  and 
as  the  jockey  club's  aim  doubtless  is  at  all  times  to 
give  its  patrons;  a  fair  run  for  its  money,  change  the 
present  obnoxious  system,  do  away  with  the  bull 
whips  and  the  "hold-on"  boys  and  make  the  starting 
even  more  spectacular  than  at  present.  If  horses 
were  trained  to  face  the  barrier  as  in  Australia  it 
would  be  another  proposition,  but  they  are  not,  and 
riders  turn  and  twist  and  try  to  get  the  better  of  the 
starter  in  so  many  ways  that  that  official  would 
doubtless  be  as  pleased  to  change  the  method 
as  would  the  public  In  England  agitation  is  going 
on  over  the  present  plan  of  starting  horses,  and  The 
Jockey  Club  was  expected  to  discuss  new  plans  at  its 
November  meeting,  but  it  didn't. 


The  forty  heaviest  money  winners  in  the  East  this 
year  were  as  follows,  those  marked  with  a  star  being

the  late  Don  Cameron  were  sold  The  star  of  the

to  the  bid  of  C.  E.  Durnell,  who  was  probably  acting 
for  John  W.  Gates,  for  $6000.  The  highest  price  for 
any  of  the  Macdonough  yearlings  was  the  chestnut

LOS  ANGELES  MEETING. 


1 


By    HIDALGO. 


Thursday  furnished  the  most  attractive  bill  of  the 
■     i  should    have  drawn  a   big  crowd,  for 

the    bleak    north    wind    of    the    first    two    days    had 
to    the    southward,    but    just    hefore 
eavy  black  clouds  began  to  heave  in  sight  and 
i    many   stayed    away   through    fear  of  a    rain 
The   track  was   in   perfect   condition   and    the  predic- 
would   he    paced    in    2:05    or   better 
in  the  race  between  Zolock  and  Hazel  Patch  did  not 
seem  like  such  a   wild  one.     The  first  race  of  the  day 
he    unfinished    pacing    race    for    the    2: 20    class, 
which  had  been  resumed  from  Wednesday  when  four 
ced,    Welcome  Mac  taking  the  first 
dead  heat  between  him  and  Birdal 
in   the   -  the  thir  heat  going  to  the  San  Di- 

ego horse.  Victor  Platte,  being  the  fastest  in  the  race 
except    the  second.     J.  A.  C.  and   Connors  being  dis- 
ii'  ed   the  field   down   to   six  and   Welcome 
E    quoted   at    20   to    12,   15   to   10   and   10   to   7 
for   the   field.     Fred    Ward    drove  him    in   a   masterly 
1    tvon  by  nearly  three  lengths,  which  gave 
him  the  first  money.  Victor  Platt.e  the  second,  Birdal 
third   and   Fearnot   fourth. 

The  next  race  was  the  first  regular  race  of  the  day, 
for  which  Morone,  from  the  Clark  stable,  was  a  well 
pronounced  choice,  at  $20  against  $15  for  the  field, 
consisting  of  Durfee's  Cuate,  Bonneil's  Ambush  and 
West's  Commonwealth.  A  most  critical  judge  would 
hare  predicted  that  the  Montana  horse  would  have 
taken  the  first  money  in  straight  heats,  from  the 
seemingly  easy  way  that  he  landed  the  first  and 
second,  which  he  probably  did  upon  sufferance,  as 
they  were  the  slowest  of  the  five,  Cuate  being  the 
contender  in  each.  In  the  third  heat  Morone  got 
off  in  front  again  and  led  to  the  quarter  and  then 
to  the  half,  with  Ambush  in  close  attendance.  But 
Cuate  was  well  within  striking  distance  and  had 
passed  Ambush  just  after  passing  the  three-quarters. 
From  there  to  the  wire  it  was  a  desperate  battle  and 
young  Durfee  drove  like  a  demon  to  win  the  heat. 
About  fifty  yards  above  the  wire  he  had  gotten  on 
even  terms  with  Morone,  who  went  into  the  air  twice 
but  was  promptly  rallied  by  Old  Man  Garrity.  He 
crossed  the  line  ahead  of  Cuate  by  the  shortest  of 
heads,  but  as  the  latter  had  never  left  his  feet  the 
judges  gave  him  the  heat  and  placed  the  Montana 
horse  second.  There  was  some  little  grumbling  over 
this  decision  but  I  don't  see  how  they  could  have 
decided  otherwise,  although  it  is  doubtful  if  Morone 
gained  by  either  of  his  breaks.  Yet  where  one  horse 
breaks  and  the  other  trots  (or  paces)  steadily  all  the 
way,  t  he  breaker  cannot  consistently  be  given  the 
heat.  I  like  young  Mr.  Clark  as  well  as  any  man 
I  know  and  I  believe  Garrity  as  straight  a  man  as 
there  is  in  tbe  business,  but  I  should  have  given  the 
heat  to  Cuate  had  I  been  a  judge  of  the  race.  The 
next  two  heats  showed  Billy  Durfee's  gelding  to  be 
the  steadier  horse  of  the  two  for  he  won  both  the 
last  two  heats  in  faster  time  than  the  two  first,  which 
he  lost.  In  fact,  the  fifth  heat  was  the  fastest  in 
the  entire  race  and  I  made  it  2:13   flat. 

The  2:12  pace  was  the  next  event,  with  twelve  nags 
on  the  card,  of  which  four — El  Diablo,  Richard  B., 
Prince  Charles  and  Delilah — were  scratched,  Oma  A., 
owned  by  Stephen  S  Bailey  of  Seattle,  was  made  a 
favorite  at  10  to  4  for  the  field,  despite  the  asserva- 
i  ons  <>f  her  owner  that  it  was  a  false  price  and  he 
did  not  believe  she  could  get  better  than  third  money, 
lint  the  public  thought  the  old  steamboatman  was 
rig"  then  and  poured  in  their  money  on  her  as 
-  i  the  race  was  over.  Even  after  three  heats 
had  been  paced,  Glenn  taking  two  and  Vinnie  Mann 
(an  added  starter)  the  other,  she  brought  $10  and 
iii  field  $5;  and  things  went  on  in  this  way  until 
i  in  track  was  cleared  for  the  event  of  the  day,  the 
great  special  between  Zolock  and  Hazel  Patch.  As 
Hazel  Patch  had  previously  beaten  the  pride  of  San 
Bi  loo,  he  was  made  a  favorite  naturally  enough  at

handily    OUt footed    him    every    inch    of    the    way.      Hazel

from  the  far  East  had  prognosticated  truly.  He  got 
him  off  evenly  with  Zolock  who  led  to  the  quarter 
in  0:31 '4,  and,  when  he  got  straightened  in  the  back 
stretch,  carried  "Zolock  along  at  such  a  furious  clip 
that  the  handsome  brown  broke  and  fell  back  at  the 
half-mile  in  1:01.  From  that  point  onward  it  was 
all  Hazel  Patch,  he  being  first  to  the  three-quarters 
in  1:33%  and  winning  the  heat  in  2:07%  by  six  good 
lengths.  The  third  heat  saw  an  end  to  all  betting  on 
this  event.  George  Common  begged  for  $2.50  on 
Zolock  against  $10  for  Hazel  Patch,  but  there  was 
no  response  that  had  a  metallic  ring.  It  was  evident 
that  nothing  could  save  the  race  to  Zolock  but  for 
the  Eastern  horse  to  fall  dead  in  his  tracks.  The 
third  heat  was  a  splendid  start,  Zolock  being  about 
two  feet  in  advance  of  the  pole  horse  which,  counting 
the  long  distance  he  would  have  to  travel,  made  the 
start  a  good  one.  Hazel  Patch  took  the  lead  with  all 
possible  ease  and  Zolock  trailed  along  behind  him, 
although  Delaney  kept  him  nicely  on  his  feet  and 
never  once  drove  him  to  a  break  They  took  the 
quarter  in  0:31,  the  half  in  1:01%,  the  three-quarters 
in  1.34  and  the  mile  in  2:08%,  the  Eastern  horse 
coming  in  on  what  was  but  little  better  than  a  whole- 
some jog.     The  race  then  w^ent  over  till  Friday. 

The  2:12  pace  had  twelve  nominations  but  only 
seven  took  part  in  the  race,  the  absentees  being  El 
Diablo,  Richard  B.,  Prince  Charles  and  Delilah.  By . 
some  unaccountable  blunder,  Charley  Smith  had 
omitted  from  the  program  the  name  of  the  Oregon 
mare,  Vinnie  Mann,  who  won  two  heats  in  the  race 
and  got  second  money.  The  pooling  showed  Mr. 
Bailey's  Oma  A.  a  favorite  over  the  field  at  even 
money  before  the  race,  at  10  to  7  after  the  first  heat, 
10  to  6  after  the  second  heat  and  10  to  4  after  the 
third    heat. 

Jim  Thompson  was  behind  Kirkpa trick's  Albuta  and 
made  a  very  strong  bid  for  the  first  heat,  being  sec- 
ond to  Glenn  in  the  fast  time  of  1:39  to  the  three- 
quarters  and  holding  all  others  safe  to  the  end  of  the 
heat  in  2:12%.  Still,  the  public  were  hot  for  Oma  A. 
and  would  have  nothing  else.  Vinnie  Mann  now 
came  to  life,  as  also  did  Lady  R,  who  had  finished 
eighth  in  the  first  heat,  and  while  Glenn  held  the  lead 
for  the  first  half-mile,  these  two  mares  trailed  him 
to  the  stretch,  where  they  came  on  and  finished  first 
and  second,  Glenn  being  third,  in  the  fastest  heat  of 
the  race.  Glenn  got  off  well  in  the  third  heat  and 
made  every  post  a  winning  one,  in  2:12%,  with 
Vinnie  Mann  second,  Lady  R.  third,  Oma  A.  fourth 
and  Albuta  distance.  The  next  was  a  savage  battle 
between  Glenn  and  Lady  R.  to  the  three-quarters, 
where  young  Lindsay  came  up  at  a  marvellous  pace, 
gaining  on  the  two  leaders  at  every  stride,  and  finally 
won  the  heat  with  Vinnie  Mann  in  2:12%,  with  Glenn 
second,  Lady  R.  third  and  the  fourth  horse,  Oma  A., 
beaten  less  than  two  open  lengths.  This  race  then 
went  over  to  the  next  day:

FOURTH    DAY. 

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

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

with  something  to  spare,  the  second  being  in

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

Time— 2:13,  2.13%,  2:14. 

FIFTH   DAY. 

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

Second  race,  2:09  trot;   purse  $1000.

Time— 2:08%,    S:0S%,    2:11%. 

Then  came  the  free-for-all  pace,  for  which  there 
were  four  starters  carded  but  one  of  them  was  ex- 
cused and  Daedalion  was  put  in  to  get  third  money. 
Hazel  Patch  sold  for  $10  to  §5  for  the  field  and  about 
a  half-dozen  pools  went  at  that  price  and  then  all 
betting  stopped  for  the  more  intelligent  spectators 
could  see  that  Hazel  Patch  could  take  the  lead  and 
keep  it  whenever  he  so  desired.  He  was  on  the  out- 
side at  the  start  for  the  opening  heat  but  flew  around 
the  turn  fast  enough  to  pass  Daedalion  who  had 
gotten  off  in  the  lead.  Delaney  seemed  in  no  hurry 
and  led  the  Diablo  horse  fight  with  Hazel  Patch  for 
the  lead,  and  for  three-quarters  It  was  certainly  a 
very  beautiful  sight.  Patch  leading  by  less  than  a 
good  length  to  that  point  in  1:34%.  In  the  stretch 
Delaney  moved  up  with  Zolock  but  was  never  able 
to  reach  the  leader,  who  won  in  2:05%-  This  heat 
took  the  shine  out  of  Daedalion  and  Zolock  beat  him 
for  second  money  in  the  two  next  heats,  Hazel  Patch 
winning  the  second  heat  by  over  three  lengths  and 
the  third  by  over  six.     I  append  the  summary: 

Free-for-all  pace;   purse  $1000. 
Hazel  Patch,  br.h.  by  Hard  Patch.  (J.  W.  Flack)   111 

Zolock,   br.h.   by   Hard   Patch (H.    Delaney)   3  2  2 

Daedalion,   b.h.  by  Diablo (H.  R.  Ward)   2  3  3 

Time— 2.05%,  2:07,  2:08%. 

The  next  race  was  a  mile  and  repeat  for  a  matinee 
cup,  club  members  to  drive.  California  Poppy,  Jes- 
sica and  Kinmont  were  scratched,  leaving  only  Lona 
and  General  Booth  as  contestants.  The  result  was 
as  follows: 

Trotting  Cup  Race  for  club  members. 

Lona,    b.m (William   Morgan)   1  1 

Gen.  Boodle,   blk.g (G.F.  Fritz)   2  2 

Time— 2:21%.   2:20. 

Then  came  the  wind-up  of  the  day  and  the  meeting. 
Henry  Berry's  road  horse,  Briney  K.,  was  matched 
to  trot  to  wagon  and  beat  2:20.  Henry  started  to 
drive  himself  but  finally  concluded  to  put  up  Bob 
Smith,  who  campaigned  Sweet  Marie.  Of  course  Mr. 
Berry  was  some  forty-five  pounds  over  weight,  which 
might  result  in  disaster  when  taken  in  connection 
with  an  extra  pair  of  wheels.  But  really  frofty  the 
way  the  horse  executed  his  task,  I  am  quite,  confident 
Mr.  Berry  could  have  driven  him  fast  enough  to  win 
the  wager,  although  he  might  not  have  gotten  down 
as  low  as  he  did  under  the  pilotage  of  Mr.  Smith. 
I  had  my  field  glasses  on  him  all  the  way  and  he  was 
never  touched  with  the  whip.  He  made  the  journey 
in  33,  1:06%,  1:42,  2:15,  official  time,  and  I  made  the 
half  in  1:06%  and  the  three-quarters  in  1:41%,  the 
first  quarter  and  the  full  mile  being  the  same  by  my 
watch.  I  make  more  than  usual  mention  of  this 
event  because  it  constitutes  a  wagon  record  for  the 
Pacific  coast.  I  would  like  to  see  a  wagon  race  for 
2:30  class  and  one  for  2:40  class  at  each  meeting.  It 
might  help  a  fellow  to  pick  out  a  good  road  horse. 

I  regret  that  this  meeting  should  have  added  at 
least  $2000  of  further  deficit  to  the  one  of  last  July 
which  was  at  the  lowest  estimate,  over  $1800.  The 
men  who  put  up  the  needful  for  these  two  meetings 
are  amply  able  to  lose  the  money  and  not  feel  it,  but 
the  general  inclination  of  mankind  is  to  make  money 
rind  not  lose  it.  Hence  I  think  Los  Angeles  has  seen 
its  last  harness  meeting  for  many  years  to  come. 
There   has  been   an   awful  lot   of  jobbing  done   here

between  1894  and  the  present  date,  and  after  the 
grangers  have  gone  home  two  or  three  times  with 
empty  pockets  and  kicking  the  splinters  off  the  rail- 
road ties,  they  get  very  sore  and  don't  feel  much 
like  coming  back  again.  Six  years  ago  I  got  three 
drivers  together  in  the  parlor  of  the  club  house  at 
Agricultural  Park  and  said  to  them,  "Now,  you  fel- 
lows know  just  what  you  have  been  doing  all  througli 
this  meeting,  and  I  can  only  say  that  you're  bigger 
suckers  than  the  men  you  have  been  robbing  through 
the  mutual  boxes.  Don't  you  know  this  is  the  only 
town  in  the  state  where  people  wdll  turn  out  to  see 
a  trotting  race.  Don't  you  know  it  is  easier  to  get 
2000  people  to  a  harness  race  here  than  to  get  200 
xto  one  at  San  Francisco?  And  for  all  that  you  will 
go  on  and  get  in  your  dirty  work  here  as  if  this 
were  a  jay  towrn.  Tou  will  all  want  to  come  down 
here  next  year  and  get  some  purses — where  do  you 
expect  the  money  to  come  from  to  make  up  those 
purses?"  For  all  that  they  have  kept  a  jobbing  right 
along  and  the  new  driving  association,  which  has 
this  year  given  two  of  the  best  harness  race  meetings 
I  have  seen  in  twelve  years,  is  the  sufferer  for  their 
misdeeds. 

Some  men  have  no  sense,  anyhow*.  I  heard  an  al- 
leged trainer  of  trotters  and  pacers  making  a  howl 
yesterday  about  the  charge  of  5  per  cent,  commission 
on  mutual  tickets.  Now  who  furnishes  the  money 
for  those  mutuals?  The  noble  army  of  "pikers,"  of 
course,  for  not  one  man  in  twenty  who  goes  to  the 
mutual  boxes  has  the  money  to  pay  for  the  fourth

NOTES    FROM    THE    OLD    DOMINION. 


RICHMOND,  Va.,  Nov.  20. — Greater  interest  has 
been  manifested  in  horse  breeding  by  farmers  and 
others  in  this  .state  during  the  present  year  than  since 
the  boom  was  at  its  height  back  in  the  early  nineties. 
California  bred  stallions  were  the  most  extensively 
patronized,  too.  The  Palo  Alto  bred  horse,  Kelly  2.27, 
full  brother  to  Expressive  3,  2:12%,  was  kept  very 
busy.  Under  lease  by  W.  J.  Carter  from  his  owner, 
James  Cox,  Mt.  Jackson,  Va ,  the  bay  stallion  served 
eighty-one  mares  in  1904  and  ^during  1905  an  even 
hundred  visited  the  court  of  this  son  of  Electioneer 
and  thoroughbred  Esther  and  were  mated  with  him. 
No  less  than  120  were  booked,  but  for  various  reasons 
not  all  were  bred.  The  horse  finished  strong  and 
hearty,  too,  certainly  an  evidence  of  a  hardy  consti- 
tution and  the  possession  of  more  than  ordinary 
vigour.  Among  the  mares  bred  to  Kelly  was  Telka, 
the  daughter  of  Arion  2:07%,  from  La  Jolla  by  Ad- 
vertiser 2:15%,  second  dam  famous  old  Sally  Benton 
2:17%,  the  dam  of  Serpol  2:10,  etc.  She  is  owned  by 
W.  J.  Carter  at  Richmond  and  the  prospective  foal 
will  carry  three  top  trosses  to  Electioneer,  as  Kelly, 
Arion  and  Advertiser  are  all  sons  of  the  famous  dead 
monarch  of  Palo  Alto. 

The  Floyd  Brothers  of  Bridgeton,  Va.,  who  are  the 
largest  breeders  on  the  eastern  shore  of  the  state, 
have  five  stallions  in  service  and  report  a  most 
prosperous  season.  Their  premier  sire  is  Sidney 
Prince  2:21%,  whose  name  indicates  his  paternity, 
seeing  that  he  is  a  son  of  Sidney,  wnile  his  stud  com- 
panion is  Colonel  Sidney,  who  bears  a  like  relationship 
to  the  stallion  whose  career  was  so  closely  entwined 
with  that  of  the  dead  Count  Valensin.  One  of  the 
stud  companions  of  these  two  sons  of  Sidney  is  Rod 
Oliver,  by  Col  Henry  Exall's  noted  Texas'  sire  Elec- 
trite,  another  product  of  your  Golden  State.  Rod 
Oliver  is  from  Lady  May,  the  dam  of  six,  by  Port 
Leonard.  Sidney  has  served  102  mares  this  season, 
as  against  some  118  or  120  in  1904,  but  in  favor  of  the 
stallion  it  may  be  said  that  his  fee  was  increased  this 
season  and  six  mares  from  a  breeder  in  a  neighboring 
state  were  refused  in  October.  The  Messrs.  Floyd 
have  ten  highly  bred  mares,  all  by  sires  of  note  and 
from  great  producing  dams,  in  foal  by  Sidney  Prince. 
Ten  of  the  get  of  the  two  Sidney  stallions,  eight  by 
Sidney  Prince  and  two  by  Colonel  Sidney,  were  sold 

:  I  from  the  Floyd  farm  this  year  for  an  average  of  close 
to  $1000  each. 

The  big  chesnut  stallion  Bedworth  2:22%,  by  Wild- 
nut,  dam  Julia  Benton,  by  General  Benton,  owned  for 
several'  seasons  past  by  Christian  and  James  of 
Blakes.'Va.,   has  been  mated  with  some  good   mares 

;,  -  and  his  get  are  being  trained  and  raced  by  breeders 
in  that  sections.  Bred  at  Palo  Alto,  he  was  brought 
east  and  sold,  after  which  he  was  raced  and  between 
seasons  did  stud  service  in  both  Maryland  and  Vir- 
ginia, in  the  former  for  E.  B.  Emory  of  Centreville, 
and  in  this  state  for  Fred.  Downing,  Sharpe's  Wharf 
By  the  latter  he  was  traded  to  parties  in  Ohio,  but 
after  his  get  began  to  show  up  well  the  son  of  Wild- 

,i  nut    was    purchased    and    brought    to    Blakes    by    his 

J  '     present    owners.      The    fastest    of   Bedworth's    get    in 
,     Bedworth,  Jr.  2:06%,  pacing,  and  a  good  race  horse; 
in    fact,   I-  think    that   the    speedy   gelding   holds    the 
j     record  for  Maryland  bred  harness  horses. 

Another  California  bred  stallion  that  is  exercising 
a  refining  influence  upon  the  stock  of  the  section  in 
which  he  is  kept  is  Planeteer,  a  Palo  Alto  bred  son  of 
Electioneer  and  Planetia,  thoroughbred  daughter  of 
Planet.  Planetia,  as  you  know,  of  course,  figures  as 
the  grand  dam  of  Peko  2:11,  Pedlar  2:18%,  etc.  He 
is  owned  by  W.  E.  Graves  of  the  wholesale  lumber 
firm  of  Woodson  &  Graves,  Lynchburg,  Va,  With  the 
possible  exception  of  a  short  while  in  his  two-year- 
old  form  at  Palo  Alto  no  attempt  was  .ever  made  to 
train  Planeteer,  as  he  was  brought  east  that  season 
!     and  sold,  or  has  any  effort  been  expended  in  handling 

iis  get  for  speed,  yet  they  show  up  well  in  size,  uni- 


MECHANICAL  TRACTION   AND    HORSE   PRODUC- 
TION. 


The  Scientific  American  is  an  article  on  the  bicycle 
and  the  automobile  refers -to  the  rise  and  sudden  col- 
lapse of  the  bicycle  and  asks  this  pertinent  question: 
"Shall  we  see  repeated  the  history  of  the  bicycle  in 
the  booming  of  the  automobile?"  The  large  numbers 
of  cheap  autos  that  will  soon  make  them  a  cheap 
machine. 

The  distinction  of  the  automobile  by  the  high 
prices  has  given  distinction  to  the  enthusiastic  own- 
ers, but  when  everybody  gets  to  riding  in  the  auto  as 
they  did  with  the  bicycle,  there  will  be  a  mechanical 
collapse  and  mechanical  traction  will  assume  normal 
position  along  with  the  electric  car  and  the  locomo- 
tive: a  help  to  the  horse  which  elevates  him  to  a 
higher  sphere:  that  requires  better  and  larger  draft 
horses  for  work  and  finer,  handsomer  carriage  horses 
for  driving  at  higher  prices;  more  profit  to  the  farmer 
who  can  raise  these  high  class  horses  to  suit  the 
market  demands  for  special  class  horses,  while  the 
all-purpose  horse,  the  street  car  class,  and  the  small, 
cheap  horses  have  already  given  place  to  the  draft 
and  coach  horses  at  three  times  the  price. 

The  editor  does  not  refer  to  the  Horseless,  Age  so 
flippantly  used  a  few  years  ago  by  the  auto  enthus- 
iasts, but  says,  "the  automobile  will  rival  the  trolley 
car  and  the  locomotive."  And  we  all  know  that  these 
increased  the  demand  for  horses,  and  if  history  re- 
peats itself,  mechanical  traction  will  increase  the  use 
and  demand  for  more  horses  and  better  horses. 

The  editor  says:  "The  history  of  sports  and 
pastimes  in  this  country  furnishes  no  parallel  to  the 
rapid  growth  in  popularity  of  the  bicycle,  and  its  even 
more  sudden  decline  as  a  means  of  recreation.  Its 
decline  is  rendered  the  more  puzzling  when  we  re- 
member that  the  medical  profession  indorsed  bicycle 
riding  as  being,  when  followed  in  moderation,  of 
valuable  assistance  in  keeping  the  body  in  good  con- 
dition, and  in  the  cure  and  prevention  of  certain  ail- 
ments that  arise  from  sedentary  habits  and  the  lack 
of  a  proper  amount  of  outdoor  exercise  So  true  is 
this  that  if  it  were  possible  to  gather  the  testimony 
of  the  hundreds  of  thousands  of  people  in  this  country, 
whose  "wheels"  are  today  rusting  in  the  cellar  or 
stored  ingloriously  among  the  top  attic  lumber,  it 
would  be  found  they  readily  admit  they  have  never 
enjoyed  the  perfect  health  which  was  theirs  when  the 
Sunday  trip  into  the  country  or  the  evening  ride  on 
the  boulevards  or  cycle  paths  formed  an  important 
and  pleasurable  item  in  the  routine  of  their  lives. 

The  causes  for  the  decline  were  many.  The  chief 
trouble  was  the  very  one  that  is  threatening  the  au- 
tomobile today— people  rode  too  fast  and  too  far; 
and  those  who  were  not  gifted  with  the  muscular  and 
constitutional  equipment  necessary  for  riding  cen- 
turies, or  even  half-centuries,  without  distress  began 
to  associate  the  bicycle  with  aching  limbs  and  an 
exhausted  body.  Another  and  scarcely  less  active 
cause  of  the  decline  was  the  introduction  of  cheap 
bicycles,  and  the  placing  of  the  wheel  within  reach 
of  everybody  who  could  find  the  necessary  forty  or 
fifty  dollars  for  its  purchase.  Bicycling  became  un- 
fashionable; and. in  this  respect  the  decline  of  wheel- 
ing is  one  of  the  most  startling  signs  of  the  fact  that 
the  American  people  are  fast  losing  that  independent, 
democratic  spirit  which  for  three  centuries  has  been 
one  of  the  distinguished  characteristics  of  the  race. 
When  the  fad  became  unfashionable  its  death-knell 
as  a  pastime  of  universal  popularity  was  sounded. 
The  bicycle  was  relegated  to  uses  purely  utilitarian. 
As  a  means  cf  transportation  it  will  always  fill  a 
useful  place  in  the  economy  of  everyday  life;  but  that 
bicycling  will  ever  win  back  anything  of  its  former 
position  as  one  of  the  most  fashionable  and  popular 
means  of  recreation  is  most  improbable. 

But  what  of  the  automobile?  Will  like  causes  pro- 
duce like  effects?  The  introduction  of  cheap  and  re- 
liable automobiles  (and  if  the  plans  of  certain  firms 
do  not  miscarry  the  market  will  within  the  next  two 
or  three  years  be  flooded  with  such)  will  bring  the 
automobile  within  reach  of  the  pocketbook  of  ten 
times  as  many  people  as  can  afford  a  machine  under 
existing  conditions.  Shall  we  see  repeated  the  history 
of  the  bicycle?  Will  it  become  unfashionable?  Pos- 
sibly in  a  limited  degree  it  will;  although  it  must 
remain  one  of  the  most  useful  means  of  transporta- 
tion, both  for  freight  and  passengers,  that  invention 
has  placed  at  the  service  of  man,  rivaling,  if  not  sur- 
passing, the  locomotive  and  the  trolley  car. 


SKIN  DISEASES  OF  HORSES. 


It  would  be  difficult  to  decide  which  form  of  para- 
sites, animals  or  plants,  do  most  damage  to  the  skin 
which  they  infest,  says  W  R.  Gilbert,  in  the  "Stock 
Farm."  Undoubtedly  in  the  aggregate,  parasite  in- 
sects are  more  injurious  than  parsitlc  plants  because 
they  are  more  numerous,  and  some  of  them  bury 
themselves  in  the  skin,  out  of  reach  of  remedies,  very 
much  as  parasites  are  far  more  common  than  para- 
sitic plants,  though  ringworm,  it  is  true,  attacks 
horses,  though  comparatively  rarely,  although  when 
it  does  occur  it  is  difficult  to  cure,  and  if  allowed  to 
become  diffused  over  a  large  extent  of  surface  before 
remedies  are  applied  it  may  prove  to  be  incurable. 
Two  closely  allied  species  only  of  fungi  attack  horses. 
The  most  common  is  the  Trycophyton  Tonsurans,  s.. 
called  from  the  large  spores,  which  causes  ordinary 
ringworm;  and  the  Achorion  Schoenleinii,  which  i« 
found  in  the  peculiar  scabs  of  honey-comb  ringworm: 
but  insect  parasites  are  very  numerous,  and  several 
varieties  of  them  find  a  temporary  or  permanent  resi- 
dence in  the  skin. 


Some  kind  of  insects  are  content  to  remain  on  the 
surface  of  the  body  and  even  do  some  indirect  ser- 
vice by  eating  the  waste  materials  which  would  accu- 
mulate if  not  got  rid  of  in  some  way;  but  even  these 
in  the  pursuit  of  their  natural  function  of  life  set  up 
a  considerable  amount  of  irritation. 

Others  burrow  into  the  skin  and  do  more  mischief 
than  the  first,  besides  being  more  difficult  to  detect 
and  destroy.  Acari  or  mange  mites  are  the  most  in- 
jurious of  the  parasitic  insects  which  infest  the  skin. 
The  family  is  familiarly  represented  in  the  form  of  the 
common  cheese  mite  which  is  visible  to  the  unaided 
eye,  but  can  be  more  conveniently  examined  with  a 
pocket  lens.  A  very  strong  family  likeness  connects 
the  different  varieties  of  the  acari,  but  there  are  cer- 
tain anatomical  peculiarities  which  can  be  recognized 
under  the  microscope  and  indicate  the  class  to  which 
the  insect  belongs.  Sarcoptes,  or  flesh  strikers,  as 
the  same  implies,  bite  their  way  into  the  skin  and 
make  long  galleries  in  which  the  eggs  are  laid,  and 
the  young  mites  hatched  in  about  eight  days,  or 
longer  in  cold  weather.  The  acari  are  provided  with 
strong  cutting  jaws,  not  unlike  the  large  claws  of  the 
lobster;  they  have  also  short  legs  which  extend  very 
little  beyond  the  outline  of  the  body. 

Dermatodectes  differ  from  sarcoptes  in  their  forms 
and  habits.  They  possess  long,  pointed  mouths,  suit- 
able for  taking  up  the  secretions  of  the  skin,  and 
long  legs  which  enable  them  to  yvander  freely  over 
the  body  and  cling  tightly  to  the  skin  wphen  necessary. 
A  third  variety  of  acari  are  known  by  the  term 
symbiotes  because  they  cluster  together  in  a  manner 
suggestive  of  good  fellowship.  They  are  less  common 
than  the  other  two,  and  usually  infest  the  legs,  es- 
pecially in  the  cases  of  chronic  disease.  All  forms  of 
mites  cause  eruptions  and  intense  itching. 

Sarcoptic  Mange. — At  one  time  it  was  generally  be- 
lieved that  burrowing  mites  were  confined  to  the  skin 
of  the  human  subject,  causing  a  disease  known  as  the 
itch;  but  for  many  years  past,  cases  of  sarcoptic 
mange,  sometimes  of  a  very  virulent  form,  have  been 
met  with  in  horses. 

In  the  Shetland  Isles  sarcoptic  mange  in  certain 
seasons  causes  serious  loss  among  the  ponies.  The 
animals  living  in  a  half  wild  state  are  out  of  the  way 
of  observation  and  treatment,  and  the  disease  conse- 
quently rages  unchecked,  and  numbers  of  the  animals 
die  from  the  intense  irritation  which  prevents  them 
from  resting  or  obtaining  sustenance. 

Some  years  since  the  English  Privy  Council  was 
urged  to  pass  an  order  to  enable  the  local  authorities 
to  slaughter  horses  affected  with  sarcoptic  mange, 
and  to  pay  compensation.  It  was  found  on  inquiry 
that  the  owners  of  diseasedw  animals  would  be  ex- 
tremely glad  to  have  the  ponies  killed  if  compensation 
to  the  amount  of  about  $20  were  paid.  The  order 
was  passed,  and  by  the  energetic  action  of  the  in- 
spector the  disease  was  nearly  extinguished:  a  few 
cases  occur  each  season,  but  the  malady  in  the 
epizootic  form  has  been  stamped  out 

Most  probably  sarcoptic  mange  is  much  more  com- 
mon among  horses  than  is  supposed  to  be.  It  is  in 
occasional  cases  only  that  any  search  is  made  for  the 
acari.  Symptoms  of  mange  may  be  apparent,  and  the 
ordinary  remedies  are  often  applied  with  success,  as 
most  of  the  cases  of  mange  are  in  the  common  form 
in  which  the  dermatodietes  are  present,  but  in  the 
case  of  the  disease  not  proving  amenable  to  treatment 
it  would  be  worth  while  to  ascertain  whether  the 
cause  of  failure  was  to  be  found  in  the  character  and 
habits  of  the  parasites  which  had  induced  the  disease. 


REX    BOOK. 


Without  doubt,  no  question  is  of  more  vital  im- 
portance to  owners  of  horses,  cattle,  hogs,  sheep  and 
poultry  than  the  proper  care  of  their  stock  and  an 
adequate  and  immediate  method  of  treatment  in  case 
of  sickness.  Numerous  books  along  these  lines  have 
been  published  with  varying  degrees  of  value. 

One  of  the  most  complete  publications  ever  at- 
tempted is  the  "Rex  Book— The  Veterinary  Guide," 
recently  issued  by  The  Rex  Company,  S00  South  16th 
street,  Omaha,  Nebraska. 

This  book  contains  over  160  pages  with  more  than 
150  illustrations,  well  bound  in  attractive  covers.  The 
book  weighs  nearly  a  pound. 

It  treats  upon  every  subject  known  to  veterinary 
science  and  embraces  the  results  of  the  most  success- 
ful veterinary  surgeons  the  world  over. 

A  copy  of  the  book  will  be  sent  to  all  readers  of 
The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  free  by  addressing  The 
Rex  Company,  800  South  16th  street,  Omaha.  Nebr. 
We  cordially  advise  our  readers  to  send  for  a  copy 
of  this  book  today  as  it  will  prove  of  great  and  lasting 
value  to  everyone  owning  stock  or  poultry.  Mention 
The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  and  the  book  will  not 
cost  you  a  cent.

keep  out  of  the  game  when  the  racing  began.  He 
is  now  engaged  in  buying  and  selling  good  prospecu-.

OLD  GLORY  SALE. 


-A 


A  large  gathering  of  horsemen  from  all  sections  of 
the  country  comfortably  filled  Madison  Square  Gar- 
den during  the  opening  day  of  the  "Old  Glory"  sale. 
The  bidding  in  general  was  not  as  lively  as  had  been 
expected,  but  fair  average  prices  were  realized  on  the 
stock  offered. 

The  highest  price  for  the  day  was  paid  for  the  fa- 
mous broodmare  Gazelle  2:11%,  dam  of  Zolock  2:05% 
(1905),  and  Zephyr  2:07%,  also  made  last  season.  She 
is  now  over  14  years  old,  but  her  record  as  a  race- 
mare  and  producer  of  extreme  speed  made  her  one  of 
the  most  valuable  brood  mares  of  the  entire  sale. 

Mr.  William  Simpson,  proprietor  of  the  Empire  City 
Stud,  purchased  her  for  $4000. 

The  bidding  on  Zephyr  2:07%,  one  of  Ed  Geers'  best 
breadwinners  last  season,  was  quite  spirited  at  the 
start,  the  first  bid  being  made  by  Al  Thomas  at  $1000. 
After  carefully  looking  the  mare  over  Mr.  Nathan 
Straus  bid  $50  at  a  time  until  the  price  reached  to 
$1550,  his  last  bid,  which  was  raised  to  $1600  and  the 
horse  was  knocked  down  to  C.  T.  Barrett  of  Akron,  O. 
Beauseant  2:06%,  also  from  the  Terrace  Farm  con- 
signment, sold  for  $1950,  while  Zelma,  a  daughter  of 
Zephyr,  brought  $1000.  The  total  of  fifty-nine  horses 
in  this  consignment  sold  for  $23,285,  or  an  average  of 
nearly  $400  per  head. 

The  list  of  horses  announced  for  sale  on  the  second 

.y  was  attractive  enough  to  draw  big  crowds  to  the 

rden.      There    was    no    disposition    on    the    part    of 

lorsemen  to  hold  off  for  future  chances,  and  so  fair 

Colonel  Delmar  2.14%   by  Del   Mar,  took  the  place 

of  the  star  of  the  sale  by  bringing  the  highest  figure 

of  the  day,  $4600,  paid  by  Charles  Duvall  of  Raritan, 

N.  J.    The  next  best  price  was  $3000,  paid  by  Thomas 

"W.  Murphy  of  Glen  Cove,  L.  I.,  for  the  seven-year-old 

pacer  Reliance. 

A  change  in  the  plans  of  Mr.  Butler,  proprietor  of 
East  View  Farm,  caused  the  withdrawal  of  the  greater 
part  of  his  consignment. 

The  sale  of  Cresceus  2:02%  brought  to  the  Garden 
"Wednesday  afternoon  the  largest  crowd  seen  at  any 
day  of  the  sale.  .  The  champion  was  brought  to  the 
ring  in  fine  condition  and  received  hearty  applause. 
The  expected  lively  bidding  which  has  characterized 
every  sale  of  prominent  stallions  did  not  take  place, 
is  Cresceus  was  knocked  down  to  his  new  owner*  at 
.he  second  bid. 

After  the  usual  talk  Auctioneer  Bain  asked  for  a 
bid,  but  nearly  two  minutes  elapsed  and  no  one  an- 
swered. More  coaxing  brought  out  a  low-voiced  bid 
of  $20,000,  which  caused  some  comment,  as  the  crowd 
thought  some  one  was  joking.  When  asked  to  come 
forward,  a  tall  gentleman  raised  his  hand  and  was  at 
once  recognized  as  P.  H.  McGuire,  of  New  York,  who 
had  previously  purchased  Direct  "View.  AH  was  silent 
again,  and  no  bidding,  and  when  the  auctioneer 
threatened  to  sell  the  horse  on  one  bid,  calling  for  the 
thir£  and  last  time,  some  one  said  $21,000. 

The  bidder  was  M.  W.  Savage,  of  Minneapolis,  owner 
of  Dan  Patch,  to  whom  Cresceus  was  knocked  down  at 
that  figure.  The  great  majority  of  the  spectators 
thought  that  the  horse  sold  far  below  his  real  worth 
but  knowing  ones  hardly  ever  guessed  that  the  horse 
would  bring  that  price.  The  world's  champion  trotting 
and  pacing  stallions  are  now  stable  mates,  an  instance 
unparalleled  in  the  history  of  the  harness  turf. 

The  greatest  feature  of  the  sale  was  that  of  Baron- 
mores*  youngsters,  which  brought  very  satisfactory 
prices  and  were  disposed  of  at  lively  bidding.  Baron- 
gale,  at  $2,900,  was  considered  by  horsemen  and  breed- 
ers as  one  of  the  best  bargains  of  the  sale.  Unless 
all  signs  fail,  this  five-year-old  son  of  Baronraore, 
2:14%,  is  destined  to  make  a  name  for  himself  as  the

THE  QUAILS  OF  THE   UNITED  STATES. 


By   Sylvester  D.  Judd,  Assistant  United   States   Bio- 
logical   Survey. 


(Continued  from  last  week.) 


Gambel    Quail. 

The  Gambel  quail  (Lophortyx  gambeli)  in  general 
appearance  is  much  like  the  valley  quail,  but,  among 
other  differences,  lacks  the  scalelike  feathers  of  the 
lower  parts  and  has  considerable  chestnut  along  the 
flanks.  It  lives  in  the  Lower  Sonoran  zone,  from 
western  Texas  to  southeastern  California  and  from 
southern  Utah  and  Nevada  south  through  central 
Sonora,  Mexico.  The  desert  is  its  home,  but  it  is 
rarely  found  far  from  water.  Its  favorite  haunts  are 
patches  of  bushy  vegetation,  such  as  mesquite. 
mimosa,  creosote,  and  patches  of  prickly  pear.  It 
frequently  takes  up  its  abode  about  cultivated  land, 
living  in  alfalfa  fields  or  nesting  in  vineyards. 

An  interesting  account  of  the  habits  of  the  Gambel 
quail  in  the  Pahrump  Valley,  Nevada,  is  given  by 
E.    W.    Nelson: 

"I  noticed  that  when  a  nock  of  quail  came  to  feed 
on  grain  left  by  the  horses  an  old  male  usually 
mounted  the  top  of  a  tall  bush  close  by  and  remained 
on  guard  for  ten  or  fifteen  minutes;  then,  if  every- 
thing was  quiet,  he  would  fly  down  among  his  com- 
panlons.  At  the  first  alarm  the  flock  would  take  to 
the  bushes,  running  swiftly,  or  flying  when  hard 
pressed.  They  roosted  in  the  dense  bushes  of  wil- 
lows and  cottomvoods  growing  along  the  ditches  * 
'  When  feeding  they  have  a  series  of  low 
clucking  and  cooing  notes  which  are  kept  up  almost 

Inually."— (N.  A.  Fauna.   No,   7,   pp.  29,  30,  1S93.) 

according  to  Coues,  may  be  repre- 
ted  In  jvords  as  "killink,  kllUnk,"  Nesting  takes 
plai  In  April,  sometimes  nol  till  May.  About  a 
usually  constitute  a  clutch.  In  sections 
u    I]  still    numerous    the    birds    pack 

ii  100  to  500  after  the  breeding  sea- 
son. 

From    the  n's    point    of   view    the   Gambel 


quail  as  a  game  bird  does  not  approach  the  bob- 
white.  It  will  sometimes  lie  to  a  dog  fairly  well,  but 
as  a  rule  it  takes  to  its  legs  with  haste  and  leaves 
the  dog  on  point,  to  the  vexation  of  the  hunter.  It 
is,  however,  a  useful  species,  which  brightens  the 
desert  with  its  presence  and  contributes  a  welcome 
addition  to  the  fare  of  the  traveler.  "While  less  val- 
uable than  the  bobwhite  as  a  destroyer  of  noxious 
insects  and  as  an  object  of  sport,  this  bird  well  de- 
serves protection  for  its  food  value  and  its  beauty. 
It  thrives  under  desert  conditions  and  might  be  suc- 
cessfully introduced  in  the  arid  regions  of  Colorado, 
New  Mexico  and  Texas. 
Food     Habits. 

Stomachs  of  twenty-eight  birds  collected  mainly 
in  Arizona  and  Utah,  from  January  to  June,  have  been 
examined.  Only  0.48  per  cent  of  the  food  consisted 
of  insects;  the  remaining  99.52  per  cent  was  vege- 
table matter.  Like  the  valley  quail,  this  is  one  of 
our  least  insectivorous  birds.  Its  insect  diet  includes 
ants,  beetles,  grasshoppers,  leaf  hoppers  (Membra- 
vidoe),  and  stink  bugs  (Pentatomidoe).  Among  the 
beetles  are  the  western  twelve-spotted  cucumber 
beetle  (Diabrotica  soror)  and  D.  tenella.  The  young 
chicks,  however,  will  doubtless  be  found  highly  insec- 
tivorous  and   therefore   useful. 

The  vegetable  food  of  Gambel  quail  was  made  up 
as  follows:  Grain,  3.S9  per  cent,  miscellaneous  seeds, 
31.89  per  cent,  and  leaves  and  plant  shoots,  63.7  per 
cent.  From  the  present  investigation  the  bird  appears 
less  frugivorous  than  any  of  the  other  American 
quails,  for  not  one  of  the  twenty-eight  stomachs 
contained  fruit.  Observers,  however,  say  that  the 
bird  is  somewhat  frugivorous,  and  no  doubt  in  a 
country  well  stocked  with  berries  and  fruit  it  would 
rapidly  develop  a  frugivorous  taste.  Baird,  Brewer, 
and  Ridgeway,  for  instance,  state  that  during  sum- 
mer it  makes  its  home  in  patches  of  Solanum  ana 
feeds  on  the  tolerably  palatable  fruit,  and  also  that 
it  is  known  to  eat  gooseberries.  (Birds  of  Northwest, 
p.  434,  1S74.)  Coues  says:  'In  the  fall  it  gathers 
cherries  and  grapes.  *  *  *  It  visits  patches  of 
prickly  pear  (Opuntia)  to  feed  upon  the  soft  juicy 
'Tunas'  that  are  eaten  by  everything  in  Arizona,  from 
men  and  bears  to  beetles."  (Hist  N.  Am.  Birds,  III, 
p.   483,   1S74.) 

The  grain  eaten  by  the  Gambel  quail  was  corn, 
wheat,  and  oats.  In  flocks  numbering  from  50  to 
100,  it  feeds  about  grain  stacks  with  domestic  poul- 
try. It  is  even  more  industrious  as  a  browser  on 
foliage  than  the  valley  quail.  Succulent  foliage  ana 
shoots  form  63.74  per  cent  of  its  food.  Much  of  this 
comes  from  alfalfa,  bur  clover,  and  the  foliage  of 
other  legumes.  Vernon  Bailey,  of  the  Biological  Sur- 
vey, says  that  at  St.  Thomas,  Ariz.,  in  January,  1889, 
this  quail  fairly  swarmed  on  alfalfa  fields,  feeding 
jn  the  green  leaves  and  pods  He  found  flocks  of 
from  25  to  50  in  such  situations,  and  during  a  five 
minutes'  walk  often  saw  a  hundred  birds.  The 
same  observer,  when  in  Mohave  county,  Arizona, 
found  that  the  bird  fed  principally  on  juicy  plants 
when  it  could  not  procure  water.  At  times  it  eats 
grass  and  its  inflorescence,  and  it  has  been  known 
to  devour  showy  flowers.  In  spring  it  shows  a  fond- 
ness for  buds.  Baird,  Brewer,  and  Ridgeway  note 
that  then  it  feeds  largely  on  the  willow  buds,  which 
impart  to  its  fiesh  a  distinctly  bitter  taste.  (Hist. 
N.  Am.  Birds,  III,  p.  485,   1S74.) 

The  seed-eating  habits  of  Gambel  quail  closely  re- 
semble those  of  the  valley  quail.  Leguminous  plants 
furnish  the  largest  part  of  the  seed  food — 21 17  per 
cent  of  the  annual  diet — alfalfa,  bur  clover,  and  kin- 
dred plants  appearing  to  be  preferred,  but  cassias, 
acacias,  and  lupines  also  are  taken,  as  well  as  the 
beans  of  the  mesquite,  which  in  many  places  are  a 
staple  with  birds  and  mammals.  The  seeds  of  alfil- 
aria  (Erodium  cicutarium),  another  bird  staple,  fur- 
nish 2.2S  per  cent  of  the  year's  food.  Miscellaneous 
seeds  form  8.44  per  cent.  They  are  obtained  from 
grasses,  mallows  (Malva),  and  such  cruciferous  plants 
as  mustard  (Brassica)  and  peppergrass  (Lepidium) ; 
also  from  chickweed  (Cerastium)  and  Atriplex. 
Mountain   Quail. 

The  mountain  quail  (Oreortyx  pictus)  occurs  in  the 
forested  mountains  of  the  humid  Transition  Zone  of 
the  Pacific  Coast,  from  Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  to  "Wash- 
ington, and  in  the  mountains  of  the  more  arid  Tran- 
sition Zone  on  the  west  side  of  the  Cascade  in  north- 
ern Oregon  and  south  over  the  Sierra  Nevada  to 
northern  Lower  California.  The  name  is  used  here  to 
cover  both  the  typical  dark  birds  of  the  humid 
coast  forests  (Oreortyx  pictus)  and  the  paler  one 
(O.  p.  plumiferus)  of  the  more  arid  Transition  Zone 
in  the  Sierras  and  Cascades  The  birds  of  the  Sierra 
Nevada  winter  at  lower  altitudes  than  they  nest, 
but  those  of  the  coast  mountains  do  not  make  this 
vertical  migration.  This  species  is  the  largest  and 
among  the  handsomest  of  American  quail,  with  two 
long  jet-black  crest  plumes  and  rich  chestnut  throat 
and  flanks,  the  latter  broadly  banded  transversely 
with   spotless   white. 

The  nests  of  the  mountain  quail  are  placed  on  the 
ground  and  usually  contain  10  to  12  eggs,  which  vary 
from  pale-cream  color  to  a  much  darker  hue.  At 
Tillamook,  Oregon,  June  30  and  July  4,  1S97,  A.  K. 
Fisher  found  newly  hatched  chicks;  and  at  Donner, 
Cal.,  July  11  and  19,  at  an  altitude  ranging  from 
6,100  to  8,000  feet,  Vernon  Bailey  found  nine  broods, 
varying  in  age  from  newly  hatched  chicks  to  half- 
grown  birds.  Bendire,  quoting  L.  "W.  Green,  of  the 
United  States  Fish  Commission,  says  that  the  earliest

date  of  the  nesting  of  the  plumed  mountain  qui 
(Oreortyx  p.  plumiferus)  known  to  him  was  April  U 
and  the  latest  August  15.  He  states  also  that  to1  ■ 
cock  bird  takes  care  of  the  young.  (Life  Hist.  hm'trf 
Am.  Birds  [I],  p.  16,  1S92.)  Chester  Barlow,  in  writ" 
ing  of  the  habits  of  the  mountain  quail,  says  that  a 
Fyfte,  Cal.,  it  begins  to  nest  the  last  of  May  or  earl; 
in  June.  All  nests  that  he  found  were  built  in  ; 
growth  of  "mountain  misery"  (Chamoebatia  sp.)" 
to  10  inches  high.  (Condor,  3,  p.  158,  1901.)  Ol 
Mount  Tallac  and  the  higher  slopes  of  Pyramid  Peabi 
W.  W.  Price-  found  newly  hatched  young  as  late  .a- 
August  15  He  noted  that  by  September  1  the  quai 
became  restless  and  soon  began  their  peculiar  migra- 
tion from  the  east  slope  to  the  west  slope  of  tin 
Sierras.  From  four  to  six  adults  with  their  young 
form  a  small  band  of  from  ten  to  thirty  individuals! 
and  pursue  their  way  almost  wholly  on  foot  to  e 
more  congenial  winter  climate;  and  by  October  1  all 
had  abandoned  elevations  above  5,000  feet.  In  spring 
they  migrate  back  singly  or  in  pairs.  (Condor,  3 
pp.   158,   160,   1901.) 

There   are   many  admirers  of  this  bird   because  ol 
its   exquisite   plumage,   but  most   sportsmen   prefer  a 
game   bird   that   lies   better   to   the   dog.     Its    flesh  is 
excellent,  and  the  bird  sells  well  in  the  market.     H. 
"W.  Henshaw  reports  that  in  the  late  fall  of  18S0  h€ 
found    the    markets    of    Portland,    Oregon,    well    sup- 
plied •  with    live    mountain    quails    which    had    been 
trapped    in    the    neighboring   mountains,    cooped, 
sent  to  the  city  for  sale.     Nowhere  is  it  so  numero 
as  the  California  quail,  or  the  bobwhite  in  the  Soui 
ern  States,  and  it  is  more  of  a  forest-loving  specii 
than  any  other  American  quail.     The  mountain  qui 
sometimes    enters    cleared    fields,    but    so    far    as 
records  of  the  Biological  Survey  show  it  does  no 
preciable  damage  to   cultivated  fruits  or  other  cro; 
and  it  is  a  useful  destroyer  of  weed  seeds 
Food    Habits. 

No  stomachs  of  the  mountain  quail  of  the  humid 
regions  were  available  for  examination,  but  Sandy 
writes  that  the  bird  feeds  on  insects  and  various 
seeds,  including  grains  (Upland  Game  Birds,  p.  93, 
1902),  and  Elliot  says  it  sometimes  approaches  farm 
buildings  in  search  of  scattered  kernels  of  grain. 
(Gallinaceous  Game  Birds  N.  A.,   p.  42,   1897.) 

The  food  of  the  mountain  quail  of  the  arid  regions 
has  been  studied  in  the  laboratory  of  the  Biological 
Survey.  The  stomachs  examined,  twenty-three  in 
number,  were  collected  in  California  Five  were  col- 
lected in  January,  two  in  May,  six  in  June,  three  in 
August,  and  six  in  November.  The  food  consisted  of 
animal  matter(  3  per  cent,  and  vegetable  matter,  9,7 
per  cent.  The  animal  food  was  made  up  of  grass- 
hoppers, 0.05  per  cent;  beetles,  0.23  per  cent;  miscel- 
laneous insects,  inclduing  ants  and  lepidopterous 
pupae,  1.90  per  cent;  and  centipedes  and  harvest 
spiders  (Phalangirae).  0  82  per  cent.  Among  the 
beetles  was  a  species  of  the  firefly  family  (Lampy- 
ridae),  a  ground  beetle  (Carabidae),  and  a  leaf  beetle 
(Haltica  sp.).  Vernon  Bailey  informs  the  writer  that 
the  young  eat  many  ants.  The  vegetable  food  con- 
sisted of  grain,  IS  20  per  cent;  seeds,  practically  all 
of  weeds  or  other  worthless  plants,  46.61  per  cent; 
fruit,  8.11  per  cent;  and  miscellaneous  vegetable  mat- 
ter, 24.08  per  cent.-  The  grain  included  wheat,  corn, 
barley,  and  oats.  Of  the  seed  element  the  seeds  of 
grasses  formed  7.78  per  cent;  of  legumes,  10.41  per 
cent;  of  weeds  of  the  family  Euphorbiaceoe,  3.16  per 
cent;  of  alfilaria  (Erodium  cicutarium),  2.76  per  cent; 
and  of  miscellaneous  weeds,  22.50  per  cent.  The 
legume  seeds  include  seeds  of  alfalfa,  cassia,  bush 
clovr,  vetch,  and  lupine.  The  miscellaneous  seeds 
come  from  wild  carrot  (Daucus  carota),  tar  weed 
(Madia  sativa),  Collomia  sp.,  Amsinckia  sp.,  labiate 
plants,  dwarf  oak,  snowbush  (Ceanothus  cordulatus), 
and  thistle. 

Concerning  the  feeding  habits  of  mountain  quail  if 
the  dry  country  (O.  p.  plumiferous),  J.  E.  McClellan 
says:  "Their  feeding  hours  are  early  in  the  morning' 
and  just  before  sundown  in  the  evening,  when  the3' 
go  to  roost  in  the  thick  tops  of  the  scrub  live  oaks. 
Their  feeding  habits  are  similar  to  those  of  the  do- 
mestic hen  They  are  vigorous  scratchers,  and  will 
jump  a  foot  or  more  from  the  ground  to  nip  off 
leaves.  (MS.  Records,  Biological  Survey.)  This  bird 
is  especially  fond  of  the  leaves  of  clover  and  other 
leguminous  plants.  It  feeds  also  on  flowers,  being 
known  to  select  those  of  Compositae  and  blue-eyed 
grass  (sisyrinchium).  Flowers,  leaves,  buds,  and 
other  kinds  of  vegetable  matter  form  the  24.08  per 
cent  marked  miscellaneous.  The  birds  probably  eat 
more  fruit  than  these  stomach  examinations  indi 
cate.  Lyman  Belding  says  that  this  quail  feeds  oi 
service  berries,  and  that  during  certain  seasons 
lives  almost  entirely  on  grass  bulbs  (Melica  bulbosa) 
which  it  gets  by  scratching,  for  which  its  large,  pow- 
erful feet  are  well  adapted.  The  fruit  in  its  bill  of 
fare  includes  gooseberries,  service  berries  (Amelan- 
chier  alnifolia),  and  grapes  (Vitis  californica).  The 
bird  is  probably  fond  also  of  manzanita  berries,  for 
it  is  often  seen  among  these  shrubs. 
Scaled   Quail. 

The  "cotton  top,"  or  scaled  quail  (Callipepla  squa- 
mata),  as  it  is  commonly  known,  is  bluish  gray  on 
the  back,  with  black- edged  feathers  on  the  under 
parts,  which  appear  like  large  scales.  The  name  ol 
the  species  is  used  here  to  include  both  the  typical 
scaled  quail  (Callipepla  squamata)  and  the  more  re- 
stricted chestnut-bellied  quail  of  southern  Texas  (C. 
s.  castanogastris).  Its  conspicuous  white-tipped  crest 
has  given  it  tbe  local  name  of  cotton  top.  It  is  found 
in  southern  Colorado  and  in  the  Upper  and  Lower 
Sonoran  zones  from  Arizona  to  western  and  southern 
Texas  and  south  to  the  Valley  of  Mexico.  The  birds 
of  the  lower  Rio  Grande  region  are  darker  than  those 
farther  west.  According  to  Bendire,  this  quail  Jives 
on  open  arid  plains  overgrown  with  yucca,  cactus, 
and  sagebrush,  and  often  gathers  in  coveys  number- 
ing twenty-five  to  eighty.     It  lays  about  a  dozen  eggs,

ami  he  believes  that  two  or  three  broods  are  reared 
in   a    season.     The   cock   assists    in    the    care    of   the 
young,  but  not  in  incubation.     (Life  Hist.  N    A.  Birds 
[I].    PP.    18-20,    1892.) 
Food   Habits. 

The  food  habits  of  this  game  bird  are  of  especial 
interest.  Stomachs  and  crops  of  forty-seven  speci- 
mens have  been  examined,  most  of  which  came  from 
New  Mexico,  .the  .  others  from  Arizona  and  Texas. 
They  were  collected  as  follows.  January,  seven;  May, 
one;  June,  two;  July,  three;  September,  thirteen; 
October,  nineteen,  and  November,  two.  As  with  all 
other  gallinaceous  birds,  more  or  less  mineral  matter 
is  swallowed,  usually  small  pieces  of  quartz.  The 
food  consisted  of  animal  matter,  29.6  per  cent,  and 
vegetable  matter,  70.4  per  cent 

The  food  of  the  cotton  top  differs  from  that  of  all 
other    American    quails    in    that    it    contains    a    large 
proportion   of  insects.     These   comprise   no   less   than 
29.03  per  cent  of  its  food,  a  percentage  almost  twice 
as  great  as   that   of  the   bobwhite,   although   if  more 
stomachs   of  the   present   species  had   been   available 
for  examination  the  ratio  might  have  been  different. 
However,   the  important  fact  is  established  that  this 
bird  is  a  large  consumer  of  insects,  instead  of  being, 
like  most  other  western  quail,  practically  graminivor- 
ous.    Of  the  insect  food,  grasshoppers  comprise  15.80 
per  cent;    beetles,   10.43   per   cent,   and   miscellaneous 
-insects,  largely  ants,  3.27  per  cent.    A  few  spiders  also 
are  taken,  but  they  constitute  only  0.03  per  cent  of 
the  food  for  the  year.     The  beetles  are  in  the  larval 
as  well   as   the  adult   forms      The   family   of  ground 
beetles     (Carabidae),    a  favorite   one   with   terrestrial 
birds,    is    well    represented.      A    single    beetle    with    a 
featherlike  antenna,  of  the  family  Pyrochroidae,    had 
been  eaten.     Some  longicorn  beetles  and  plant-eating 
scarabaeid  beetles  also  were  eaten.     A  bird  collected 
in  June  had  consumed  forty-four  of  the  latter  beetles, 
which   were   leaf   chafers,    apparently    closely    related 
to  the  genus  Serica.     The  scaled  quail  destroys  also 
weevils,  such  as  the  clover  weevil,  Sitones,  and  cer- 
tain species  of  the  family  Otiorhynchirae,  or  scarred 
snout   beetles.     It   takes   also   leaf   beetles,    the   very 
injurious  twelve-spotted  cucumber  beetle   (Diabrotica 
12-punctata).      Furthr    studies    of    the    beetle    food 
undoubtedly   will    disclose   a    large    number    of   pests. 
The  bird  will  probably  be  found  to  be  a  useful  con- 
sumer also  of  grasshoppers,  since  a  third  of  its  Sep- 
'  tember  food  consisted  of  them.     Their  remains  were 
so  fragmentary,  however,  that  identification  of  species 
|  was   unsatisfactory.      In    one    case   a   member   of  the 
)  genus  Trimerotropis  was  recognized.     Ants  had  been 
eaten   by   fifteen   of   the   forty-seven   birds   examined. 
The  other  miscellaneous  insects  included   small  bugs 
.  (Heteroptera)  and  the  chrysalis  of  a  fly.     One  of  the 
queerest  objects  found  by  the  wrriter  in  birds'  stom- 
'  achs  is  the  "gound  pearl"  (Margaordes),  several  hun- 
f  dred   of  which  were   contained   in  the   stomach   of  a 
'  cotton    top    shot    at   Roswell,    New    Mexico,    June    17, 
1 1899.     They  are  lustrous  and  look  like  pearls,  but  are 
merely  scale  insects  that  feed  on  the  roots  of  plants. 
Vegetable  matter  furnished  70  per  cent  of  the  food 
'of  the  scaled  quail.     Grain  contributed  0.57  per  cent; 
seeds,  mostly  weed  seeds,  52.85  per  cent;    fruit,  12.65 
i  per  cent,  and  leaves  and  other  green  tissue,  4.33  per 
cent.     The  species  resembles  the  ruffed  grouse  in  its 
■  habit  of  feeding  on  green  leaves  and  tender   shoots. 
lit   feeds   upon    budded    twigs,    but   more   often   limits 
'  its  choice  to  chlorophyll-bearing  tissue,  often  picking 
f  green    seed    pods    of   various    plants.      Like    domestic 
i  fowls,  it  eats  grass  blades.     Fruit  was  eaten  by  only 
six  of  the  forty-seven  birds,  and  none  was  taken  from 
cultivated   varities      As   might  be   expected  from   in- 
habitants of  arid  plains,  these  birds  like  the  fruit  of 
cacti,    and    have   been    found    feeding   on    the    prickly 
pear    (Opuntia    lindheimeri).     The   fruit   of   Ibervillea 
linheimeri  also  is  eaten.     The  blue  berries  of  Adelia 
angustifolia,    which    furnish    many    desert    birds    and 
mammals   with   food,   are   often   eaten   by  the   scaled 
quail.     Different  kinds   of  Rubus   fruits  are   relished, 
and   the  berries  of  Koeberlinia  spinosa  and   Momisia 
pallida  also  are  eaten.     The  fruit  and  succulent  parts 
of  plants  no  doubt  serve  in  part  in  the  parched  desert 
,as  a  substitute  for  water. 

Seeds  of  various  plants  form  a  little  more  than 
half  of  the  food.  Legumes  furnish  21.84  per  cent,  the 
mesquite  (Prosopis  julinora),  a  staple  with  both  man 
and  beast,  being  utilized,  as  are  the  seeds  of  mimosa 
(M.  biuncifera),  besides  various  cassias  and  lupines. 
Seeds  of  vetch  (Vicia  sp.)  are  a  favorite  food,  and 
Morongia  roemeriana  is  eaten.  The  bird  likes  seeds 
of  Medicago,  and  at  times  will  eat  clover  seeds.  Mis- 
cellaneous wreed  seeds  yield  31.01  per  cent  of  the 
mnual  food.  Narly  half  of  these  are  seeds  of  bind- 
weed (Convolvulus  sp.),  an  abundant  and  troublesome 
weed  in  the  South,  where  it  often  throttles  other 
plants.  The  following  miscellaneous  seeds  were  found 
imong  their  food:  Thistle  (Carduus  sp.),  wild  sun- 
lower  (Helianthus  annuus),  Coreopsis  (Coreopsis  cor- 
>naria),  aster  (Aster  sp.),  chamomile  (Anthemis  sp.), 
aigweed  (Amaranthus  sp.),  gromwell  (Lithospermum 
>p.),  borage  (Amsinckia  sp.),  mallow  (Malva  rotun- 
lifolia),  turkey  mullein  (Croton  setigerus),  croton 
;Croton  texensis),  alfilaria  (Erodium  cicutarium), 
(purge  (Euphorbia  sp.). 
Grass  seeds  have  not  yet  been  found  in  quantity 
'in  the  crop  of  the  species,  but  panicum  seeds  have 
,)een  recognized. 

In  summing  up  the  economic  status  of  the  scaled 
luail  it  should  be  noted  that  although  the  bird  is  a 
lesert  species,  it  comes  into  more  or  less  direct  rela- 
ion  with  agriculture,  sometimes  feeding  upon  culti- 
ated  land  and  about  farm  buildings.  Moreover,  half 
]  f  its  food  consists  of  the  seeds  of  weeds.  Lastly,  it 
'?  highly  insectivorous,  fully  one-fourth  of  its  food 
J  onsisting  of  insects.

OUT-CROSSING   AND    ITS   METHODS. 


By  J.  Sidney  Turner,  in  Illustrated  Kennel  News. 


Jackson's    Napa    Soda    cleanses    the    stomach    and 
nders  the  eye  clear. 


(Continued  from  November  25  issue.) 
It  is  clearly  established  that  the  external  appear- 
ance of  an  animal — his  bodily,  or  "somatic,"  charac- 
ters— are  a  less  certain  guide  than  a  knowledge  of 
his  "gametic"  factors,  or.  germ  cells,  in  ascertaining 
his  breeding  possibilities.  In  an  absolutely  pure  race 
only  one  kind  .of  "gametic"  is  given  off,  but  in  a 
mongrel  race  two  kinds  are  given  oft  in  about  equal 
numbers,  each  carrying  one  of  the  factors  contained 
in  the  cross.     No. single  gamete  carries  both. 

In  the  cross-breeding  of  the  rabbits,  mentioned 
above,  only  one  set  of  characters — viz.,  color  of  eyes 
and  coat  and  short  or  long  coat,  was  taken  into 
account  We  know  by  experience,  as  in  the  above 
ease,  that  two  or  more  characters  are  sometimes 
correlated,  such  as  pink  eyes  and  white  coat  and  skin 
as  in  true(  albinos),  but  not  always  so,  as  man) 
white  animals  have  dark  eyes.  Other  characters  are 
not  necessarily  associated,  such  as  size,  formation, 
speed,  carriage  of  ear,  courage  or  constitution.  If 
two  characters  are  associated,  and  not  necessarily 
correlated  (as  in  the  case  of  pink  eyes  and  move- 
ment of  head,  due  to  the  action  of  light),  in  a  breed 
to  which  the  out- cross  is  made,  we  may  desire  to 
get  one  of  the  characters  without  the  other.  I  will 
give  you  an  instance  presently;  but  first  I  will  de- 
scribe a  simple  method  to  demonstrate  the  doctrine 
of  chance,  which  seems  to  serve  the  purpose  very 
well  and  to  bear  out  the  Mendelian  theory.  It  has 
the  advantages  of  economy  of  time  and  expense  over 
breeding  experiments,  and  serves  to  bring  home  to 
our  minds  the  operations  of  Mendel's  law. 

I  take  two  packs  of  cards  with  different  colors 
of  backs— say,  brown  and  white — to  represent  color 
of  coat.  These  two  packs  represent  mongrels  of  the 
first  cross,  fifty-two  individuals,  but  104  gametes.  We 
take  the  brown  to  be  the  dominant  and  the  white 
the  recessive  gametes.  To  breed  these  mongrels  inter 
se  I  first  place  the  cards  in  alternate  order  of  brown 
and  white,  then  shuffle  the  packs  as  much  as  possible. 
They  thus  will  represent  the  gametes  which  would 
come  together  if  mongrels  were  bred  inter  se.  If 
the  cards  be  now  dealt  out  by  two  and  two  (and  this 
experiment  be  made  many  times)  it  will  be  found  that 
the  average  number  of  times  that  brown  and  white 
will  come  together  will  be  one-half,  or  50  per  cent; 
the  two  browns  one-quarter,  or  25  per  cent,  and  the 
two  whites  one-quarter,  or  25  per  cent— i.  e.,  there 
will  be  twenty-six  pairs  of  brown  and  white,  thirteen 
pairs  of  brown,  and  thirteen  pairs  of  white  All 
the  mongrels,  fifty-two,  were  brown  in  coat,  as  brown 
was  the  dominant,  so  that  75  per  cent  are  still  brown 
and  25  per  cent  all  white.  This  is  exactly  what  oc- 
curred when  brown  Belgian  rabbits  and  white  an- 
goras were  bred  together;  and  their  mongrel  progeny 
were,  in  the  second  generation,  bred  inter  se.  This 
is  the  Mendelian  expectancy  in  regard  to  the  reap- 
pearance of  the  recssive  character.  These  white  will 
only  produce  whites,  if  bred  inter  se  or  if  recrossed 
with   the   original   white   factor. 

There  would  be  little  object— from  a  breeders'  point 
of  view— in  doing  this,  and  any  out-cross  should  be 
made  with  some  fixed  object,  such  as  the  improve- 
ment of  the  constitution,  courage,  speed,  size,  etc.,  in 
the  breed  from  which  the  outcross  is  made.  To  take 
a  case  in  point.  Suppose  we  want  to  improve  'the 
constitution  of  our  Bloodhounds.  We  determine  to 
do  so  with  Foxhounds.  We  will  assume  (but  this 
can  only  be  actually  determined  by  the  experiment 
of  breed)  that  the  coat  of  the  Foxhound  is  domi- 
nant, and  we  select  in  this  instance  white  cards  to 
represent  the  dominant  as  regards  color.  We  will 
take  strong  constitution  to  be  represented  by  black- 
faced,  and  its  deficiency  by  red-faced  cards.  Brown 
cards  will  represent  the  Bloodhound.  We  therefore 
have  white  and  brown  cards  to  represent  the  colors 
of  coat  in  the  Foxholnd  and  Bloodhound,  respective- 
ly; the  black  faced  and  red-faced  cards,  the  strong 
and  deficient  constitutions,  on  account  of  which  lat- 
ter the  out-cross  is  to  made.  The  crossing  of  the 
brown  and  white  cards  will  produce  white  (dominant 
color)  mongrels,  with  white  brown  gametes  (brown, 
recessive  color).  An  equal  division  of  strong  and 
weak  constitutions  may  be  expected  to  be  inherited 
by  the  mongrel  offspring,  so  that  we  take  equal  num- 
bers of  the  brown  and  white  cards,  black  and  red 
faces  being  in  equal  proportions  in  both  colored  backs. 
The  cards  must  not  he  shuffled,  as  in  this  case  they 
are  not  to  breed  inter  se,  but  to  recross  the  mongrels 
to  the  breed  (Bloodhound)  from  which  the  out-cross 
was  first  made.  Therefore  we  take  two  brown  and 
two  white  cards  (color  gametes)  with  black  and  red 
faces  equally  divided  between  them — viz.,  white-red, 
white-black,  brown-red  and  brown-black.  These  cards 
will  then  each  be  paired  with  a  brown-red  card  (the 
original  Bloodhound,  whose  color  of  coat  we  wish  to 
retain,  but  whose  constitution  is  to  be  strengthened 
by  the  out-cross).  The  result  must  be  that  50  per 
cent  of  the  progeny  will  retain  the  mongrel  color 
of  coat,  and  50  per  cent  will  recover  the  brown  color; 
but  only  25  per  cent  will  have  a  black-faced  card  (the 
strong  constitution)  in  the  pair.  Therefore  in  the 
second  generation  we  have  50  per  cent  pure  colored 
Bloodhounds,  but  only  25  per  cent  with  the  stronger 
constitution  of  the  Foxhound  infused  into  it,  for 
which  reason  the  out-cross  was  made.  As  the  im- 
proved constitution  will  not  be  so  directly  visible  as 
color,  the  judgment  of  the  breeder  will  come  in.  This, 
however,  will  be  the  blend  with  which  to  continue 
the  breeding  of  stronger  constitutioned  hounds,  es- 
pecially if  mated  with  others  bred  on  similar  lines. 
If  this  be  not  done  there  will  be  danger  of  deteriora- 
tion with  each  succeeding  generation — i  e.,  if  mating 
be  with  Bloodhounds  whose  constitution  has  rei  elvea 
no  fresh  "blood"  (really  "gametes"). 
All    this    seems    very    complicated,    but    it    is    not 


■  'II      so.  as  the  equations  will  clearly  show: 
B.,  biown  backed  .aid   i  Bloodhound);   color  recessive. 
\\\.    Mack   faced   card    (Foxhound);    color  dominant, 
b..  black  faced  card  equals  strong  constitution. 
r..  red  faced  card  equals  deficient  constitution. 
1    W.r.  x  B.r.  equals  W.B.r.r.  (still  mongrel). 

2.  W.b.  x  B.r.  equals  WB.b.r.   (still  mongrel). 

3.  Br.  x  B.r.  equals  B.B.r.r.  (Bloodhound  constitu- 
tion  unchanged). 

4.  B.b.  x  B.r.  equals  B.B  b.r.  (Bloodhound  constitu- 
tion  improved). 

Nos.  1  and  2  retain  the  mongrel  gametes.  No.  3 
is  as  regards .  breeding,  pure  Bloodhound,  but  with- 
out improved  constitution.  No  4  is  the  same  as 
No.   3,   but   with   improved  constitution. 

If  we  desired  to  obtain  two  of  the  characters  of 
Foxhounds,  e.  g.,  constitution  and  dash,  or  constitu- 
tion and  round  feet,  we  should  probably  only  suc- 
ceed in  getting  both  characters  in  the  second  gen- 
eration in  ratio  of  12%  per  cent  of  the  progeny.  Sup- 
pose we  take  constitution  and  round  feet.  Color  of 
coat  and  constitution  shall  be  represented  in  the 
cards  as  before,  and  round  feet  of  the  Foxhound  shall 
be  represented  by  the  court  (or  picture)  cards  We 
will  suppose  round  feet  (as  we  do  constitution)  to 
be  distributed  in  the  mongrels  in  equal  ratio  to  bad 
feet.  Take  four  white  backed  and  four  brown  backed 
cards  to  represent  color;  of  these  let  four  (one  red 
and  one  black)  be  court  cards  to  represent  round 
feet.  Thus  half  of  the  number  of  mongrels  have 
round  feet  and  half  have  good-  constitutions.  There 
are  now  eight  cards  (eight  gametes).  If  eight  brown 
backed  and  red  faced  cards  (not  court  cards)  Blood- 
hound gametes,  be  paired  with  the  eight  mongrel 
gametes  the  result  will  be  that  50  per  cent  will  re- 
main mongrels  or  resembling  the  Foxhound;  50  pet- 
cent  will  resemble  the  Bloodhound,  out  of  which  only 
half  (25  per  cent  of  whole  progeny)  will  have  the 
improved  constitution,  one-quarter  (12%  per  cent  of 
whole)  will  have  round  feet  without  any  improved 
constitution,  and  one-quarter  (12%  per  cent  of  whole) 
will  have  both  round  feet  and  improved  constitution 
Let  f.  represent  round  feet.  W.b.f.  will  be  the  origi- 
nal Foxhound  factor  and  B.r.  the  original  Bloodhound 
factor.  The  progeny  of  this  first  cross  bred  back 
again  to  the  Bloodhound  will  be: 

1.  W.b.f.   x  B.r.   equals  W.B.b.f.r. 

2.  W.f.r.  x  B.r.   equals  W.B.f.r.r. 

3.  W.b.   x  B.r.   equals  W.B. b.r. 

4.  W.r.  x  B.r.   equals  W.B.r.r. 

5.  B.r.  x  B.r.  equals  B.B.r.r.  (Bloodhound  un- 
changed). 

6.  B.b.  x  B.r.  equals  B.B. b.r.  (Bloodhound  with 
constitution). 

7  B.f.r.  x  B.r.  equals  B.B.f.r.r.  (Bloodhound 
with  round  feet). 

8.  B.b.f.    x   B.r.    equals   B.B. b.f.r.      (Bloodhound 
with   round   feet   and    constitution) 
TWO— Breeder 

Any  other  point  of  character  may,  of  course  "be 
substituted  for  constitution-e.  g.,  head  and  muzzle 
(as  was  done  by  Dr.  Inman  in  his  cross  of  St  Ber- 
nards to  Mastiffs),  or  shortness  of  muzzle,  as  in  out- 
cross  of  Toy  Spaniels  with  Japanese.  Such  charac- 
ters would  be  more  immediately  apparent  than  con- 
stitution, and  the  effects  of  an  out-cross  more  readily 
ascertained.  I  have  proposed  to  take  constitution  and 
feet  as  being  the  most  legitimate  objects  for  an  out- 
cross.  The  other  instances  just  mentioned  are  for 
arbitrary  and  fanciful  reasons,  and  are  undertaken 
to  gratify  a  passing  craze  for  some  point,  but  thev 
are  very  doubtful  improvements  to  the  breeds  in 
which  they  were  made. 


DOINGS   IN    DOGDOM. 


Pasadena    Dog   Show. 

Arrangements  for  Pasadena's  dog  show  are  pro- 
gressing most  satisfactorily  and  prospects  are  good 
for  a  neat  little  exhibition  of  the  bluest-blooded 
canines  in   Southern  California,  December  13  and   14 

The  best  local  judges  of  the  various  breeds  avail- 
able have  been  engaged,  and  a  fairer  lot  of  men  would 
be  hard  to  pick  in  any  part  of  the  country  That 
capable  breeder  and  handler  of  Pointers,  William  J 
Morris  of  Los  Angeles,  will  pass  out  decisions  in  the 
classes  with  which  he  is  most  familiar,  not  an  un- 
mixed benefit,  as  his  officiating  will  preclude  his 
entering  as  a  matter  of  course.  C.  A.  Sumner  will 
judge  Fox  Terriers;  T.  H.  Broadhead,  Spaniels  and 
loys,  and  James  Ewins  all  other  breeds  not  taken 
by  the  gentlemen  named.  Morris  will  give  the  awards 
in   all   the   large   classes. 

R.  C.  Halsted  of  Pasadena  is  the  secretary  and  will 
furnish  all  other  desired  information.  Entries  close 
December   2nd. 


A    Promising    Pointer. 

In  mentioning  a  California  dog  at  present  on  the 
Eastern  circuit  the  American  Field  says: 

Nearly  all  of  the  handlers  remember  old  Champion 
Senator  P.  perfectly.  Seeing  his  son,  Senator's  Don, 
run  elicited  many  comparisons  between  sire  and  son. 
The  consensus  of  opinion  was  that  the  son  has  more 
class  than  his  sire,  and  that  some  day  the  rangy 
while  and  orange  youngster  will  be  the  greatest  dog 
Mr.  Fynn  has  ever  owned. 

Senator's  Don  has  not  much  of  the  old  Senator's 
wisdom  on  game  as  yet,  but  he  is  a  free.  fast,  easy 
mover,  with  a  much  more  cheerful  disposition  than 
had  old  Champion  Senator  P.  Handler  Wilson  has 
the  young  dog  coming  right  and  his  future  develop- 
ment looks  both  certain  and   easy. 


The   Tail    of    Eastover    Lancelot. 

Another  hearing  in  the  now  famous  Boston  terrier 
controversy  came  up  in  New  York  last  week.  The 
protest  against  the  Boston  terrier,  Eastover  Lance- 
lot, was  heard  by  the  Bench  Show  Committee  of  the 
Westminster  Kennel  Club.     The  meeting  was  held   al

Rflucb,   Harry  T.   Peters,   Winihrop  RiUherfurd, 

and   Richard   H.    Williams,    when    additional   evidence

stminster  Kennel  Club,  were  the  only 

camlned.     After  the  meeting  the   commit- 

ed    that    further    testimony    in    the    case 

be  necessary  before  a  decision  would  be  ren-

Kennel   Club  Bench   Show  Corn- 
its   beginning  at  the  show  for  Boston 
(04.     Eastover  Lancelot  is  the 
of    the    Spotswood    Kennels    of   Broad   Axe, 
ounty,  Penn.,  which  are  owned  by  Ed- 
H.    Hance,    Philadelphia.      When    the    dog    en- 
red    the    ring  at   the  Boston    show   of  1904,   he  had 
:•    points                     redit,   and   needed   but  one  more  to 
ome    a    champion    of    record.      Eastover    Lancelot 
big  winning  at  the  show,  but  was  protested, 
I    Di\    F.    H.    Osgood,    the    show    veterinarian,    dis- 
qualified   the    dog  on    the   charge    that   it    had    a    cut 
tail,   the  action   being  subsequently  sustained  by   the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  Boston  Terrier  Club.    As 
the  dog  had  already  won  twenty  or  more  first  prizes 
at  the  leading  bench  shows,  the  disqualification  made 
sensation    among   the  bench   show   followers.     Mr. 
Hance  appealed  at  once  to  the  American  Kennel  Club. 
The    appeal    was    "from    the    decision    of    the    Boston 
Terrier  Club   that  Eastover  Lancelot  had  been- tam- 
pered with,  based  on  a  written  opinion  of  the  veter- 
inarian of  the  show." 

The  Spotswood  Kennels  presented  a  deal  of  evi- 
dence, but  the  Boston  Terrier  Club  did  not  make  a 
fight.  The  committee  to  pass  on  the  case  comprised 
H.  K.  Bloodgood,  chairman:  TV.  B.  Emery.  Marcel 
A.  Viti.  G.  M.  Carnochan  and  TV.  G.  Rockefeller.  The 
evidence  showed  that  there  was  no  indication  that 
the  tail  of  Eastover  Lancelot  had  been  docked  or 
tampered  with,  which  was  backed  up  with  X-ray 
photographs  showing  the  bone  of  the  tail,  taken  in 
the  presence  of  three  reputable  Philadelphia  veterin- 
arians. The  American  Kennel  Club  sustained  the 
appeal  and  ordered  the  Boston  Terrier  Club  to  rein- 
state  Eastover   Lancelot. 

The  Boston  canine  authorities  protested  the  decis- 
ion, asserting  that  the  case  did  not  come  up  for  a 
hearing  until  two  days  after  the  time  limit  had  ex- 
pired and  when  it  was  taken  under  consideration 
neither  Dr.  Osgood,  whose  opinion  had  disqualified 
the  dog,  nor  the  Boston  Terrier  Club  was  notified 
of  the  hearing.  The  matter  came  up  at  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  and  after  a 
general  discussion  the  delegates  voted  to  sustain  the 
verdict  of  the  committee  that  had  exonerated  East- 
over  Lancelot. 

At  the  Westminster  Kennel  Club  show  in  Madison 
Square  Garden,  held  on  February  13,  14,  15  and  16, 
the  judge  of  the  Boston  terriers,  H.  D.  Riley  of  Staf- 
ford, Penn.,  awarded  to  Eastover  Lancelot  premier 
honors,  despite  the  assertion  of  a  handler  at  the  ring- 
side, that  he  had  owned  the  dog  as  a  puppy  in  Provi- 
dence, Mass.,  and  that  Eastover  Lancelot  had  then 
a  straight  tail  John  C.  Sullivan,  owner  of  Revillo 
Peach,  second  in  the  open  class,  first  won  by  East- 
over  Lancelot,  promptly  filed  a  protest.  Mr.  Sullivan 
was  notified  that  his  claim  was  frivolous,  and  the 
protested  dog  received  another  clean  bill  of  health. 

Upon  the  plea  that  new  evidence  had  been  dis- 
covered the  American  Kennel  Club  issued  an  order 
to  the  TVestminster  Kennel  Club  to  reopen  the  case 
that  John  C.  Sullivan  might  have  an  opportunity  to 
present  his  evidence,  and  the  work  of  going  over  the 
testimony  was  begun  again.  Just  what  the  nature 
of  the  new  testimony  is  cannot  be  learned  as  the 
committee  refuse  to  give  out  any  information  until 
the  case  in  finally  disposed  of. 

The  object  of  the  controversy  has  since  died 
from  injuries  received  in  a  kennel  fight,  but  the 
has  already  cost  the  disputants  about  $2500, 
whirl!  is  considerably  in  excess  of  the  original  value 
of  Eastover  Lancelot,  irrespective  of  the  time  put 
on  the  case  by  nearly  a  dozen  wealthy  owners  at 
different  times. 


GOSSIP  FOR  SPORTSMEN.

to  enable  them  to  pass  the  innumerable  "no  shooting"

Sowing    Wild    Rtce. 

of  P'  Ont,    who    has  had 

■     i ■"■  •  [idling  wild  rice  seed,  in 

forward  ■    Ignn  -  -  portsman,  sent 

the  foll<  of  Instructions  for  sowing  the 

! rest   to   gun   clubs   and    is 

verbatim: 

that  you  would  like  to  have  full  directions  for 

planih  I  buy  Hi-    rice   from  the  Indians, 

us   they  gather   ii    In   their  canoes      They  fetch    It    to 

1      i  it   on    the   floors   of   my 

(no  Are  in  the  house),  and  my  men  turn 


it  four  times  a  day  for  nearly  three  weeks,  until  it  is 
perfectly  dry.  I  then  put  it  through  a  fanning  mill 
and  take  out  all  dirt  and  chaff,  and  then  I  pack  it 
in  barrels. 

"For  planting,  put  the  rice  in  coarse  linen  bags. 
Sink  the  bags  in  water  over  night  before  sowing,  and 
let  the  rice  soak  until  morning.  The  husks  are  dry, 
but  after  being  soaked  the  rice  will  sink  at  once  to 
the  bottom  into  the  mud.  Take  the  rice  out  of  the 
bags  and  scatter  it  on  the  water.  Sow  in  water 
from  six  inches  to  six  feet  deep  with  soft  mud  bot- 
tom, or  low  marshy  places  where  it  is  covered  with 
water  the  year  round.  If  sowed  in  lake,  sow  in  the 
bay.  Drowned  lands  make  a  good  place  when  there 
is  water  the  year  round.  All  the  drowned  lands 
round  Rice  Lake  are  full  of  rice.  Once  get  it  growing 
and  it  will  crowd  out  all  other  weeds. 

"The  best  time  to  sow  the  rice  is  just  before  the 
water  freezes  and  the  diving  ducks  have  gone  south, 
such  as  redheads,  bluebills,  canvas  backs  and  whist- 
lers. They  are  sure  to  find  it,  and  will  pick  every  seed 
from  the  bottom  if  a  small  quantity  is  planted,  and 
is  planted  in  October  or  fore  part  of  November. 

"I  received  a  letter  from  a  man,  fifty  miles  north 
of  here,  last  year,  to  send  him  a  barrel.  I  sent  it  to 
him  in  October  and  gave  him  directions  for  sowing. 
I  warned  him  about  the  ducks  finding  it.  I  received 
a  letter  from  him  this  fall  saying  he  had  a  fine  bed 
of  rice  and  a  big  crop,  but  he  had  had  hard  work 
to  save  it.  The  ducks  found  it.  He  w*ent  to  the  place 
where  he  had  sowed  it  the  next  day  and  he  said 
there  were  several  hundred  ducks  on  the  bed  diving 
for  all  they  were  worth.  He  and  his  son  had  to  be 
there  all  the  time.  He  killed  a  good  many,  and  finally 
drove  them  away. 

"The  great  trouble  with  parties  getting  rice  is  that 
they  have  some  persons  sow  it,  hired  help,  who  don't 
care  how  they  sow  it,  on  gravel  bed  or  in  ten  to 
fifteen  feet  of  water.  I  sowed  two  barrels  in  a  pond 
hole  three  miles  from  here  fifteen  years  ago.  The 
pond  is  about  400  yards  long  and  150  yards  wide.  T 
sowed  it  the  20th  of  November,  and  the  pond  hole 
froze  up  that  night.  It  is  about  four  feet  deep.  The 
next  spring  the  the  rice  all  came  up.  It  seeds  itself 
every  fall,  and  comes  up  in  spring.  Last  report  it  was 
a  big  crop  of  rice. 

"I  have  given  about  all  I  know  about  planting  rice. 
If  parties  who  get  rice  will  follow  these  directions 
they  will  have  no  trouble  in  rearing  good  crops." 


seven    pounds    and    a    third    twenty    pounds.      Thesa 
fish,  it  is  claimed,  all  put  up  a  strong  fight. 

On  account  of  the  alleged  pollution  of  the  Truckee 
River,  near  Reno,  Nev., .  by  the  Floriston  paper  mills 
the  local  fish  and  game  warden  has  recommended  that 
no  more  fish  be  planted  in  the  stream,  but  that  broofe 
trout  be  imported  for  planting  in  the  small  creeks, 
that  run  into  the  river.  Although  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands of  fry  are  placed  in  the  Truckee  every  year  txwv 
supply  of  fish  is  running  lower  and  their  weight  H* 
constantly  decreasing.  Fish  culturists  say  this  is  due} 
to  the  destruction  of  their  food  bv  the  sewage  from, 
the  paper  mills. 


Hunting    Notes. 

The  stormy  weather  this  week  has  no  doubt  scat- 
tered the  ducks  over  a  wide  area.  But  at  that,  good 
shooting  is  anticipated  on  many  preserves  tomorrow. 

During  the  week  and  on  last  Sunday,  generally, 
duck  hunting  was  reported  to  be  good  and  many  limit 
bags  were  made. 

The  rains  have  made  quail  hunting  conditions  far 
better  than  was  the  situation  a  week  or  so  ago.  Snipe 
patches,  on  the  contrary,  have  been  turned  into  quag- 
mires and  most  of  the  birds  have  levanted,  to  the 
south,  probably. 

As  an  illustration  of  how  plentiful  birds  are  in 
some  interior  sections  the  following  from  Golusa  Her- 
ald of  November  24th  states: 

On  Tuesday  last  sixty-five  sacks  of  geese  and  ducks, 
mostly  the  former,  were  shipped  by  express  from  Co- 
lusa to  San  Francisco.  On  Wednesday  the  shipment 
was  sixty-one  sacks.  Yesterday  fifty-one  sacks  were 
sent  away,  making  the  total  shipment  177  sacks.  The 
sacks  averaged  seventy  pounds  in  weight,  so  San 
Francisco  is  richer  by  12,390  pound,  or  over  six  tons 
of  game  as  a  result  of  the  recent  north  wind. 

Hundreds  of  birds  also  were  killed  by  local  sports- 
men, who  do  not  shoot  for  market,  and  it  is  an  excep- 
tional family  that  hasn't  had  all  the  game  it  could 
use  in  the  past  few  days. 

Bay  shore  shooting  will  not  be  in  full  swing  until 
high  water  prevails  in  the  tule  and  marsh  island  dis- 
tricts, where  now  the  water  is  shallow  and  plenty 
of  feed  abounds. 

Mr.  Payne  Shafter,  Admiral  Goodrich  and  J.  K.  Orr 
one  day  last  week  bagged  nearly  two  dozen  English 
Snipe  in,  as  Shafter  puts  it,  "my  own  marsh,  a  stone's 
throw  from  my  door.  Birds  were  plentiful  but  wild. 
The  light  was  bad,  as  the  birds  flew  between  hills 
which  obscured  their  flight  until  they  rose  above  the 
shadowing  background  " 

LeRoy  Nickell  and  Mr.  McMullin,  Downey  Harvey, 
George  Boyd  and  F.  Van  Sicklen  all  made  good  bags 
of  quail  recently  on  the  Country  Club  grounds. 


Among  the  Anglers. 

The  San  Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club  members  and 
invited  guests  will  meet  around  the  banquet  board 
Tuesday  evening  next  at  the  California  Hotel. 

The  medals  won  in  the  contests  this  season  at  Stow 
Lake  will  be  presented  to  the  winners  and  the  usual 
enjoyable  time,  ensuing  when  the  jovial  anglers  meet, 
will  transpire. 

The  many  seekers  of  striped  bass  on  the  San  An- 
tonio slough  waters  last  Sunday  were,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  two  rods,  unlucky  in  luring  the  fish  from 
the  stream. 

A  six  foot  tide  made  conditions  unfavorable  for 
good  fishing.  The  current  was  like  a  millrace  and  the 
run  out  occurred  in  the  afternoon — everything,  even 
the  weather,  worked  against  the  rodsters.  The  two 
fish  taken  weighed  over  twelve  and  fourteen  pounds 
respectively. 

The  recent  rains  should  bring  the  steelhead  into 
the  tidewaters  of  the  Paper  Mill,  and  some  good  sport 
with  half  pounders  is  probable  for  anglers  who  will 
lake  a    trip   to  Point  Reyes   tomorrow. 

Stockton  anglers  have  been  catching  "dog"  salmon 
recently  trolling  with  "Wilson  spoons  in  the  mouth  of 
of  the  Tuolumne  river.  Eighteen  fish  were  caught 
by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clinton  Garrison.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wal- 
ter Garrison,  Henry  Garrison  and  Fred  Willett.  The 
largest  salmon  scaled  thirty  pounds,  another  twenty- 


Non-Sale  of  Game. 

At  the  next  session  of  the  Legislature  a  bill  will. 
probably  be  introduced  which  if  passed  will  prohibit 
the  sale  of  feathered  game  entirely.  This  subject  haJ 
been  agitated  from  center  to  circumference  in  county! 
game  association  circles  and  now  has  many  support-;' 
ers.  The  attitude  of  Southern  California  sportsmerl 
is  voiced  in  the  Los  Angeles  Times  thusly: 

Representatives  of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Game! 
and  Fish  Protective  Association  have  been  instructed 
to  stand  firmly  for  "no  sale"  at  the  meeting  of  the 
State  association  in  Marysville. 

The  present  fifty-bird  bag  limit  is  practically  pro 
hibitive  of  marketing  ducks— if  enforced— as  no  hun- 
ter can  legally  make  enough  at  it  to  pay  him  day  ic 
and  day  out. 

That  "if,"  however,  is  even  bigger  than  the  littlt 
word  usually  is.  Locally  there  has  been  no  need  tc 
enforce  the  duck  limit;  the  clubmen  are  the  only  ones 
who  can  violate  it,  and  only  in  very  few  instance* 
aer  they  guilty  of  it.  One  occasionally  picks  up  ml 
ducks  than  he  expected  and  thus  stretches  the  limll 
three  or  four,  or  five  birds,  but  while  the  practice  h 
somewhat  reprehensible,  it  is  nothing  as  compared  tc 
the  atrocious  slaughter  that  has  been  practiced  uppr 
the  birds  in  the  San  Joaquin  Valley  by  market  hunt- 
ers, acting  in  a  sort  of  quasi-partnership  with  crook- 
ed commission  men  whose  boast  is  that  they  openls 
violate  the  law  and  "get  away  with  it." 

Local  sportsmen  last  year  found  market  hunters  al 
Tulare  killing  all  the  way  up  to  300  ducks  daily  anc 
shipping  them  to  San  Francisco.  There  were  man) 
engaged  in  the  business,  and  game  wardens  seemec 
either  unwilling  or  unable  to  stop  the  slaughter. 

If  the  bag  limit  clause  is  hard  to  enforce,  certainlj 
a  fiat  "no  sale"  clause  on  ducks  would  be  impossiblt 
to  misunderstand.  Its  constitutionality  has  beer 
proved  in  over  a  dozen  States;  it  does  not  constitute 
class  legislation,  because  no  One  is  denied  the  righ« 
to  kill  a  certain  number  of  birds  for  his  own  use! 
Those  who  contend  that  this  privilege  is  "cornered' 
by  the  rich  forget  that  the  use  of  automobiles  is  alsf 
an  advantage  enjoyed  almost  exclusively  by  tha> 
fortunate  class,  yet  no  one  tries  to  bar  the  moi 
car  from  the  streets  just  because  every  one  cam 
have  one.  There  is  as  much  sense  in  one  contention 
as  in  the  other. 

The  market  hunters,  like  the  politician,  immediate^; 
drag. the  poor  man  into  the  argument  and  say  "X 
sale"  is  a  blow  at  his  rights,  but  they  forget  the  poo 
man  isn't  buying  even  spoonbills  at  a  dollar  and  J 
quaiter  the  pair.  He  can  rent  a  gun,  buy  shells  aril 
shoot  them  cheaper.  There  are  plenty  of  places  when 
a  hunter  can  get  half  a  dozen  birds  without  belongim 
to  any  club. 

"No   sale"   is   a   step   in   advance.     The   increase  ii 
the  quail  since  they  wrere  protected  from  the  marke1 
hunters   is   admitted;    the   "no    sale"    clause   has   hel>! 
good  here  in  California.     Ducks  are  the  next  bird  ill 
line.     Protected   from    the   game    butchers,    conserve- 
by  a  hundred  clubs  which  shoot  at  most  only  twk 
a   week;    protected  in  their  great  breeding  haunts 
Alaska,  there  is  absolutely  no  reason  to  fear  for  th 
future  of  duck  shooting.     So  long  as  market  huntin 
is  permitted,  there  is  an  incentive  to  the  extermina 
tion  of  waterfowl,  and  their  passing  becomes  only 
matter  of  such  time  as  the  history  of  shooting  in  tl) 
Mississippi  Valley  takes  to  repeat  itself  here  on 
Pacific  Coast — the  last  great  path  of  migration  of 
ducks. 


Eight  Illegal   Fishermen  Convicted. 

Eight  Italian  fihermen,  charged  with  illegally 
suing  their   vocation   in   the   sloughs   near  Rio   Vis 
were    tried    and    convicted   in    the    Superior    Court 
Suisun  last  Friday.     The  prosecution  was  conduc 
by  District  Attorney  Gregory,  Attorney  Geo.  A. 
mont   of   Suisun   and  Attorney   Latimer   of   Martinet 
The  attorneys  for  the  defense  made  a  hard  fight  fir 
their  clients,  but  without  success,  the  evidence  brougl 
out  against  the  accused  being  quite  conclusive  in  tl 
minds  of  the  jurymen. 

The  convicted  fishermen,  who  were  at  liberty  c|l 
bail,  were  notified  to  appear  in  court  on  Decembt, 
1st  to  receive  their  sentences.  The  minimum  penali! 
for  the  offense  is  $200  fine.  Hence  it  is  reasonably  sui 
that  the  Solano  county  treasury  will  be  enriched  1[ 
at  least  $1600  as  a  result  of  the  conviction  of  tl| 
fishermen.

CARLOAD     OP    "3    IN    ONE.* 


On  Oct.  31st  the  G.  W.  Cole  Company,  sole  manufa 
turers  of  the  famous  "3  in  One"  oil,  shipped  an  enti 
carload   in  one  consignment. 

This  was  the  biggest  single  shipment  of  an  ord 
for  "3  in  One."  or  any  gun  or  household  oil.  that  w 
ever  made.  t  The  shipment  consisted  of  66,240  bottles. 

As  everyone  knows,  who  knows  anything  about  gn 
and  oils,  lubricants,  etc..  the  sales  of  "3  in  One"  a 
going  forward  by  leaps  and  bounds,  the  increased  sal 
of  this  lubricant,  cleaner  and  rust  preventer  being  u 
precedented.  "3  in  One"  has  been  sold  all  over  t 
world   for  many  years. 

The    demands    for    "3    in    One"    at    times    taxes    th« 
facilities.     But  owing  to  their  modern,  right  up-to-da1 
big  factory   at  Railway.   New   Jersey,   and   the   policy 
keeping    adequate    stocks    ahead,    orders    for    large 
small    size   usually   can   be   filled    immediately,   whatev 
the   quantity.

UNIFORMITY     IN     BREEDING. 

The  first  important  law  in  breeding  is 
mt  like  produces  like.  But  like  all 
her  rules  and  regulations  there  are 
cceptions.  In  opposition  to  this  law 
the  fact  that  like  does  not  always 
roduce  like.  This  is  by  no  means  det- 
mental  in  the  breeding  of  live  stock. 
he  very  fact  that  the  progeny  is  dif- 
srent  from  either  of  the  original  stock 
lakes  it  possible  to  improve  the  stock, 
ecause  the  young  stock  is  just  as 
kely  to  be  better  than  its  parents,  and 
L  this  case  improvement  is  quickly  j 
hade.  The  average  breeder  of  im- 
roved  live  stock  is  not  as  successful 
t  he  should  be  because  he  is  slow  to_ 
jicognize  this  fact. 

i  Another  difficulty  is  the  inability  of 

pine   breeders    to    recognize    type.      In 

tder  to  breed  up  a  strain  of  live  stock 

(  ith  intelligent  perseverance  that  leads 

!t  certain  improvement  it  is  absolutely 

Iscessary   to    select   a   type   and    fix   it 

Krmly  in  mind.     There  are  many  fami- 

es  of  the   same  breed  and  individual 

members  of  the  different  families  may 

bssess    equal    merit,    but    because    of 

ifterence  in  type  the  breeding  back  and 

hrth  results  in  mediocrity. 

i  Many   breeders   fail   to   secure    extra 

!aod  stock  just  because  they  go  from 

l'ie  type  to  another.     Superior  animals 

bpeal    to   them    and   they    buy    from 

'her    breeders    stock   that   is    a   detri- 

ent  when  mixed  with  their  own,  not 

Ucause  the  individual  is  not  as  good 

i  they  thought,  but  because  the  type 

1 !  different  and  they  failed  to  recognize 

■  appreciate  the  fact. 

:  In   order   to   breed   a   uniformly  high 

|  *'ade  family  it  is   not   only  necessary 

i  \\  understand  the  exact  type  required. 

at    it    is    necessary    to    recognize    by 

■lie   study   of  pedigree   of  animals   the 

[jne    of    improvement    through     which 

!iey  have  been  developed      It  is  neces- 

'iry  to  weigh   carefully  the   points  of 

iperiority   of   the   different   dams   and 

I  res.     Some   of  these  may  have   been 

'cceptiorially    valuable,      while     others 

-eked    in    essential    features.     Farther 

1  iian  this,   he   must   be   able  to   recog- 

j;ze    the    influence    of    animals    in    the 

ie  which  were  known  to  exert  pecu- 

■  tr  prepotency. 

Inferior    animals    are    found    in    the 

•rst  families  after  every  possible  pre- 

LUtion     has    been    observed.      It     re- 

lires  nerve  to  slaughter  animals  bred 

om  expensive  ancestors  which  is  the 

,  ,sult  of  years  of  painstaking  studied 

.■fort,    but    there   is    only   one   way   to 

ach  the  top  and  that  is  to  save  only 

,.e  best. 

Another  point  the  breeder  must  pos- 

ss  and  that  is  the  faculty  of  saying 

f  i  when  he  is  offered  a  big  price  for 

|;s  best  breeding  stock.     It  must  not 

I'    sold  at  any  price,   if  the  very  top 

<tch  is  to  be  attained.     Want  of  uni- 

I  rmity  is  one  of  the  strongest  indica- 

I'uis   of   lack   of   skill   in   breeding,    or 

tnt  of  judgment  along  some  of  these 


A   NEW  BUTTER   RECORD. 

I  The  Wisconsin  Experiment  Station 
:3ently  published  the  butter  record 
.st  made  by  the  Guernsey  cow  Teksa 
inheam.  It  seems  that  during  the 
",ar  from  October  1,  1904,  to  October 
.1905.  this  cow  produced  14.920  pounds 
»    milk,    containing    an    average    per 


cent  of  butter  fat  of  5.7"..  and  produced 
during  the  year  over  1000  pounds  of 
butter. 

Teska  Sunbeam  is  a  registered 
Guernsey,  weighing  1200  pounds,  rather 
a  heavy  weight  for  the  breed.  She  is 
reported  to  present  all  the  fine  quali- 
ties of  a  world's  record  cow.  being  of 
pronounced  dairy  type  and  possessing 
an  excellent  udder. 

It  would  be  interesting  to  know  the 
amount  and  value  of  the  feed  con- 
sumed by  this  cow  during  the  test,  but 
as  the  economical  production  of  butter 
fat  was  not  the  object  sought,  we  are 
advised  that  everything  in  the  line  of 
feed  capable  of  increasing  the  flow  of 
milk  was  given. 

This  record  of  1000  pounds  of  butter, 
made  by  a  single  cow  in  one  year, 
would  be  about  equal  to  the  product  of 
seven  average  dairy  cows. 


Peed  has  considerable  effect  on  the 
color  of  milk  and  the  resulting  cream 
or  butter.  Green  grass,  apples  and  car- 
rots are  well  known  to  give  yellow 
color  to  milk  and  butter.  Of  the  grains, 
corn  and  oats  probably  tend  to  produce 
a  milk  most  satisfactory  for  general 
household  use.  'When  fed  with  good 
alfalfa  hay,  the  cream  is  well-colored 
and  has  good  consistency.  It  comes  off 
the  top  in  a  thick  layer  and  leaves  skim 
milk  noticeably  different  in  color  from 
the  cream.  The  feed  also  effects  the 
hardness  of  the  butter,  that  is,  its  abil- 
ity to  stand  up  in  hot  weather  and 
also  its  grain.  Corn  and  oats  make  a 
good  grained  butter,  wheat,  bran  and 
linseed  meal,  poor  grained,  while  if 
brewers  grain  is  fed  in  large  quanti- 
ties a  butter  is  produced  that  looks 
like  lard.  Gluten  meal  rich  in  fat, 
makes  soft  butter,  while  cotton-seed 
meal  has  the  most  pronounced  effect  of 
all  the  feeds  in  making  the  butter 
hard.  Indeed  in  the  South,  where  cot- 
ton-seed is  fed  largely,  the  butter-fat 
is  so  hard  that  the  churning  temper- 
ature has  to  be  raised  at  least  five 
degrees. 


In  a  feeding  experiment  at  Fort  Col- 
lins molasses  from  the  sugar  mill  was 
utilized  as  a  complement  to  corn  and 
shorts.  The  molasses  was  mixed  with 
water  and  the  grain  added  sufficient  to 
make  a  thin  slop.  Molasses  was  also 
put  in  the  drinking  water,  which  was 
relished  greatly  by  the  pigs,  for  after  a 
time  they  would  not  drink  water  with- 
out it  The  pigs  averaged  eighty-three 
pounds  each  at  the  time  the  experiment 
began  and  212  pounds  each  at  the  close. 
They  were  fed  107  days'.  It  required 
3.3  pounds  of  grain  and  1  S  pounds  of 
molasses  for  each  pound  of  gain.  At 
local  prices  for  the  grain  and  molasses 
the  cost  of  each  pound  of  gain  was  3.61 
cents.  Considering  that  no  pasture  was 
used,  these  results  show  a  high  feed- 
ing value  for  molasses.  The  pork  from 
these  hogs  was  very  fine.

countries,  so  far  as  flesh  foods  are 
concerned.  In  practically  all  nations

ABOUT  COLORING  BUTTER. 


As    we    all    know,    first    class    butter, 
-   ain,  etc.,  is  ac- 
companied by  a  peculiar  shade  of  yel- 
■ 
.    I    ■■    ma 
this    prime    requisite    is 
depend  on  artificially  toning- 
Up  his  stands   d.    I  do  not 

think     an      intelligent     discriminating 
public   require   June   colored    butter    in 
imber,  writes  a  farmer's  wife  in  the 
lentleman.     During  the  sum- 
■  specially,  the  nat- 
ural color  of  butter  is  highest,  presup- 
lg  that  the  cows  have  daily  access 
The  color  naturally  grows 
lighter  until  in  the  winter  the  lightest 
shade  is  reached.     If  certain  principles 
are    adhered    to,    the   color   will    be   all 
that  can  be  desired,  or  that  ought  to  be 
required. 

The  breed  of  cows  exerts  an  influ- 
ence on  the  butter  color.  Jerseys  and 
shorthorns  furnish  a  good  degree  of 
color,  and  when  the  proper  food  is  fur- 
nished, and  proper  care  given  to  the 
milk  and  cream,  the  color  is  generally 
all  that  can  be  desired.  Experiments 
have  shown  that  certain  foods  have  a 
marked  influence  on  the  butter  prod- 
uct. For  example,  cotton  seed  meal 
renders  the  butter  much  lighter  in  color 
than  is  normal,  while  oats  give  a 
golden  tint  and  firmness  of  grain;  lin- 
seed meal,  cottonseed  meal,  corn  meal 
and  bran,  in  connection  with  ensilage 
or  green  food,  give  satisfactory  results. 
Of  root  crops,  the  carrot  gives  the  high- 
est color,  and  potatoes  the  least:  the 
latter  has  the  effect  also  of  softening 
the  grain  of  the  butter.  No  amount  of 
"doctoring"  can  restore  a  mass  ol 
white,  frothy  stuff,  called  butter  by 
courtesy,  to. its  normal  state  or  what 
it  should  have  been  by  proper  manage- 
ment. With  some  butter  makers  this 
condition  of  things  is  chronic.  Their 
butter  is  white  or  "off"  in  color,  the 
grain  is  broken  and  only  a  greasy  com- 
pound remains.  This  class  of  butter 
makers  must  "tone  up"  artificially  if 
a  market  is  to  be  secured. 

While  coloring  butter  is  not  a  fraud 
in  the  sense  that  coloring  oleo  is,  it  is 
deception,  and  the  sooner  dairymen 
recognize  it  as  such,  the  better.  A 
dairyman  lately  ma*de  the  assertion  that 
his  product  was  10,000  pounds  of  dairy 
butter  a  year,  and  that  not  a  particle 
of  coloring  matter  had  been  used  in  its 
manufacture,  and  also  that  he  could 
have  sold  ten  times  that  amount  at  El- 
gin prices  could  his  dairy  have  pro- 
duced it.  He  heartily  wishes  all  colored 
dairy  or  creamery  or  worked  over  but- 
ter had  to  pay  the  same  tax  the  oleo- 
margarine does.  While  this  is  extreme, 
perhaps,  butter  makers  will  do  well 
to  think  seriously  on  this  subject.  In 
some  localities,  I  am  glad  to  note,  the 
dairymen,  or  dairywomen,  either,  who 
habitually  uses  butter  color  to  impart 
the  proper  shade  which  right  manage- 
ment should  have  given,  has  an  im- 
paired reputation  as  a  butter  maker. 

Can  artificially  colored  butter  right- 
fully be  called  "gilt  edged."  Ought 
not  that  term  to  be  applied  only  to  that 
grade  of  butter  which  has  been  brought 
to  the  highest  standard  of  perfection 
through  proper  attention  to  all  details 
pertaining  to  its  manufacture? 

Also,  what  proportion  of  customers 
would   chose   colored  butter,   were   the

WRAPPING    BUTTER   SQUARES. 


The  question  is  often  asked  if  it  is 
r  to  wrap  butter  with  wet  parch- 
ment  paper  than  with  dry  paper.  The 
answer  is  variously  given,  says  an  ex- 
change. Some  buttermakers  in  cream- 
eries wrap  their  butter  in  wet  papers 
for  the  following  reasons:  The  butter 
will  not  stick  to  the  paper  so  much 
and  the  squares  can  be  wrapped  more 
quickly  with  wet  papers  than  with  dry, 
as  they  bend  more  readily.  When  wet 
paper  is  used  it  should  have  been 
soaked  in  boiled  brine  so  as  to  be  free 
from  spores.  This  helps  to  keep  the 
butter  from  being  affected  by  spores 
on  the  paper.  Then  men  that  wrap  dry 
claim  that  while  it  takes  a  little  more 
time  to  do  the  work  of  wrapping,  the 
package  looks  smoother,  as  the  wet 
wrinkles  on  drying,  also  the  brine  in 
the  butter  seems  to  work  through  the 
parchment  paper  more  when  it  has 
been  wet,  as  is  seen  by  the  salt  in- 
crustations on  the  sides  of  the  squares. 
If  the  butter  is  to  be  used  at  once 
there  is  no  reason  for  using  a  wet  pa- 
per, but  if  the  butter  must  be  kept  a 
long  time  it  is  doubtless  better  to  use 
parchment  paper  that  has  been  well 
soaked  in  brine  or  some  other  anti- 
septic solution. 


ROUGHAGE  FOR  SWINE. 


It  is  generally  considered  that  any- 
thing for  which  one  has  use  in  no  other 
way  will  answer  for  the  swine.  The 
feeding  of  roughage  is  worked  on  this 
plan,  the  feeder  forgetting  that  swine 
cannot  make  fat  of  anything  but  good 
material.  It  is  all  right  to  turn  into 
the  hog  pen  the  clean  leavings  of  tough 
corn  stalks  from  the  cow  stable,  but  it 
should  not  be  expected  that  the  swine 
will  get  along  wholly  on  this.  Give 
them  their  share  of  sweet,  clean  rough- 
age and  if  there  is  a  fair  supply  of 
straw  on  the  place  let  them  have  that. 
Don't  think  it  is  too  expensive  for  it 
will  add  to  the  capacity  of  the  swine 
to  take  on  weight  and  will  add  to  the 
value  of  the  manure.  Of  course  if  it 
can  be  sold  for  a  high  price  then  sell  it 
and. buy  something  better  for  the  hogs. 
A  little  silage  will  not  hurt  them  nor 
will  the  sweepings  from  the  hay  mow 
especially  if  the  latter  are  mixed  with 
bran  and  moistened  with  warm  skim 
milk.  There  are  always  lots  of  odds 
and  ends  around  a  farm  which  can  be 
worked  up  into  dainty  dishes  for  the 
swine  if  one  will  take  the  trouble  to 
make  them  appetizing. — Farmer  and 
Breeder. 


BUYERS  DON'T  PAY  FOR  COLOR. 


An  auction  sale  of  fifty-four  short- 
horn cows  was  recently  made  in  Michi- 
gan. Of  the  number  sold  two  were 
white,  two  red  and  white,  twenty-six 
red  or  red  and  a  little  white  and 
twenty-four  were  roan.  The  sale  was 
topped  by  a  white  cow  at  $1,000.  The 
second  was  the  other  white  at  $S25. 
The  third  was  a  roan  at  $620;  the 
fourth,  a  roan  at  $525;  the  fifth,  a  red, 
with  a  little  white  at  $500;  the  sixth, 
a  roan  at  $495;  the  seventh,  a  roan  at 
$4S0;  the  eighth,  a  roan  at  $460;  the 
ninth,  a  roan  at  $450;  the  tenth,  a  roan 
at  $410;  the  eleventh,  a  roan  at  $405; 
the  twelfth,  a  roan  at  $400.  The  re- 
mainder of  all  colors  sold  at  $100  to 
$375.  It  is  an  item  worth  considering 
by  all  stockmen  that  the  two  white 
cows  topped  the  sale  by  a  large  figure 
and  that  only  one  of  the  twenty-six 
cows,  red  or  red  and  a  little  white,  was 
permitted  to  come  within  the  charmed 
circle  of  the  twelve  best  cows  in  the 
sale. 


FLOOR    OF   THE   COW    STABLE. 


Writing  in  National  Stockman  and 
Farmer  on  the  subject  of  cow  stables, 
L.  W.  Lightly  says:  I  prefer  to  have 
an  earthen  floor  in  my  cow  stable, 
though,  of  course,  the  manure  gutter  is 
cement  and  liquid  proof.  I  believe  the 
cow  is  more  comfortable  on  the  yield- 
ing, non-conducting  ground  than  on 
hard  plank  or  rocky  cement.  It  is  true 
that  the  earth  will  wear  away  and  has 
to  be  filled  up  and  leveled  off  occa- 
sionally, the  doing  of  which  has  just 
reminded  me  of  this:  The  floor  of  the 
stall  should  be  level  or  slope  back  to- 
the  gutter  very  little;  there 
Should  be  no  rough  ridges  or  hard,  un- 
even places,  as  I  could  not  nor  can 
tl  ow  rest  in  comfort  on  such  a  bed. 
A  iall  quantity  of  gravel  and  earth 
■  d  can  be  made  perfectly 
h  and  level,  and  a  light  covering 
"i  '  *i  i  well  moistened  will  help  to 
keep  it  in  place. 


Hogs  born,  suckled  and  ranged  on 
alfalfa  until  ready  to  harden  for  the 
block  are  considered  as  good  as  the 
best.  Tests  show  that  the  feeding 
value  of  alfalfa  is  forty-five  per  cent 
more  than  clover  and  sixty  per  cent 
over  timothy;  in  fact,  it  is  way  ahead 
of  all  other  forage  crops.  One  acre 
well  set  will  pasture  thirty  pigs  for 
six  months  Even  without  alfalfa, 
using  other  grains  for  grazing,  the 
raising  of  hogs  for  market  ca  n  be 
made  highly  profitable  in  this  country 
but  with  alfalfa  it  is  a  bonanza. 


About  the  largest  hog  of  which  we 
have  record  is  Jumbo,  owned  by  Jo- 
seph T.  Moore  of  Oxford,  North  Caro- 
lina. It  is  three  years  of  age,  weighs 
1420  pounds,  measures  nine  feet  two 
inches  from  tip  to  tip  and  seven  and 
one-half  feet  around  the  girth.

NEW   BREED  OF   DUCKS. 


The  newest  breeds  of  ducks  not  yet 
lown  to  the  public  are  the  Blue  Or- 
ngton  and  the  Buff  Orpington.  They 
ere  produced  by  William  Cook  of  En- 
and,  the  originator  of  the  several  va- 
ties  of  Orpington  fowls,  the  Blue  Vh, 
lety  in  1S96  and  the  Buff  the  year  fol- 
wing.  They  are  thus  described  in 
e  Orpington  Poultry  Journal: 
I  The  Blue  Orpington  is  a  very  large 
lick,  quick  in  maturing,  good  layers 
j  immense  eggs.  The  color  is  slate, 
[milar  to  an  Andalusian  fowl.  They 
hre  proved  a  wonderful  good  table 
rd.  Of  course  only  the  best  speci- 
lens  are  absolutely  blue  all  over,  some 
kving  a  small  patch  of  white  on  the 
pest,  which  looks  rather  pretty  when 
ley  are  swimming,  so  much  so  that 
any  people  breed  them  with  these 
hite  chests.  Sometimes  a  little  bit 
|  brown  is  seen  in  them.  The  drakes 
|e  a  little  larger  and  have  the  head 
id  neck  a  darker  color  than  the  ducks. 
iese  ducks  do  well  in  confinement  and 
h  not  need  water  to  swim  in.  They  are 
lormous  in  size,  being  a  good  deal  lar- 
jr  than  Pekins  and  growing  quicker, 
JThe  beak  of  the  Blue  Orpington  is 
l.rk  in  color  with  a  trifle  yellow  tinge, 
fcgs  dark  orange.  The  back  is  a  nice 
»ue  and  underneath  rather  a  lighter 
iite  for  the  ground  color.  The  ducks 
ijouid  be  blue  all  over,  but  pencilled 
the  back.  The  carriage  of  the  birti 
much  the  same  as  an  Aylesbury 
ck,  with  a  long  body  close  to  the 
ound. 

The  Buff  Orpington  duck  is  not  quite 
bright  in  color  as  the  Buff  Orpington 
wl,  being  more  of  a  khaki  color  only 
t  so  dull.  It  is  an  improvement  on 
ii  Indian  Runner,  as  they  are  very 
uch  larger  and  more  uniform  in  shape 
Id  a  self  color.  They  make  a  fine 
hie  bird  and  their  eggs  are  larger; 
l;y  are  no  doubt  the  best  utility  duck 
i  the  world  for  laying  and  table  pur- 
I3es  besides  having  very  handsome 
tpearance. 


TRAINING      SHEPHERD      DOGS. 


<?he  natives  of  New  Mexico  have  an 
:•  c-ginal  and  successful  way  of  training 

s'rpherd   dogs. 
^Ili.  pup  is   taken  from   its   mother  as 
s'n  as  possible.     The  breed  of  dog  is 
l   fc -Material.     The  young  of  a  sheep   or 
s  Bit    is    taken    away    and    the    pup    is 
—  instituted.     After   the  first   few    days 
...»  pup  is  never  fed  except  just  before 
jL  t';  flock  goes  to  pasture  in  the  morn- 
:  ii     and     just     after     the     sheep     are 
ry  b|ught  in  at  night.    As  soon  as  he  can 
k   he   goes    out  with    the    flock   and 
Bys   with    it    all    day.      Whenever    he 
ins    to    anticipate    supper    by    trying 
•thrive  the  flock  in  before  sun   down 
h  is   punished.      After   he   is   about   a 
yir  old,  he  takes  a  flock  out,   guards 
I  itrom  other  dogs  and  coyotes  during 
day  and  brings  it   in  at   the   proper 
:  -    at    night    without    supervision    or 
"  Id.     With  a  dog  encountered   in   the 
,Jf  lbs  with  his  flock  all  kinds  of  tempta- 
|is  are  useless  for  in  spite  of  all  al- 
ii men  ts    he    will    remain    faithful    to 
fir, — Epitomist. 


HOW    MILCFLOR    IS    MADE. 


ilcflor   is  the   name   of  a   brand   of 

__iid   skimmed   milk  now   being  made 

n  his  state  by  a  Swedish  process.    In 

i  icuum  where    the    temperature    is 

il  it    165    degrees.     F.,     the     skimmed 

■    Jr  is  reduced  to  a  thick  paste.     This 

jBsraped   in  the   form   of  thin   bands

fiv  quarts,  of  skimmed  milk,  and  it  is 

-la  ied  that  the  protein  alone  in  this 

iu  tity   equals   in  nutritive  value  1.8

i;i  '  in  cooking  and  in  places  where

IsBtne  Worth  Saving?* 


Why  trade  off  or  sell  at  a  beggarly  price  a  good 
horse  just  because  he  "goes  lame,"  "throws  a 
curb"  or  develops  some  other  blemish?  There 
is  nothing  in  the  way  of  Spavins,  Curbs,  Splints, 
Windpuffs  or  Bunches  which  will  not  yield

THE  GREAT  BROOD  MARE  ELSIE,  by  Gen.  Ben- 
in, died  at  the  farm  of  her  owner,  Mr.  Geo.  A.  Cres- 
1  y  of  Modesto,  on  the  26th  day  of  last  month.     She 
.  id   lived    more    than    twenty-three    years    and    pro- 
iced   fifteen    foals.      The    cause    of   her   death    was 
iieumonia.     Old  Elsie  was  a  famous  mare   and  the 
(Story  of  the  standard  bred  horses  of  America  will 
Lver  be  complete  without  many  allusions  to  her  and 
i  \>T  produce.     She  was  bred  at  the  famous  Palo  Alto 
Lock  Farm,  and  was  sired  by  Gen.  Benton,  her  dam 
i;ing  the  great  brood  mare  Elaine,  half  sister  to  the 

;   'ighty  Electioneer.     Elaine  was  not  only  a  champion 
otter  of  her  day,  being  the  fastest  three-year-old  of 

i  |177,  and  the  fastest  four-year-old  of  1878,  but  was 
great  producer  in  the  stud,  her  lists  of  standard 
■otters  numbering  five,  among  tiiem  being  the  fast 
allion  and  sire  Iran  Alto  2:12%.  Elsie  was  Elaine's 
rst  foal  and  was  put  to  breeding  as  a  four-year-old. 
he  was  a  handsome  big  chestnut  mare,  with  small 
:ar  and  near  hind  ankle  white,  standing  full  sixteen 
ands.  Her  first  foal  was  a  filly  by  Piedmont  2:17% 
lat  died.     She  was  returned  to  Piedmont  that  year 

l  nd  in  1SSS  produced  a  colt  that  was  called  Salvini 
nd  took  a  record  of  2:30.  Her  next  foal  was  the  filly 
.'ovelist  by  Norval  2:14%,  that  took  a  two-year-old 
ecord  of  2:27.  Elaine  failed  to  produce  a  foal  in 
S90,  but  the  following  spring  foaled  the  bay  colt  Rio 
.lto  by  Palo  Alto  that  afterwards  took  a  trotting 
ecord  of  2:22%,  and  a  pacing  record  of  2:16%.  In 
892  her  foal  was  a  filly  that  was  named  Mary  Os- 
•orne  and  trotted  in  2:37  as  a  yearling  and  in  2:28% 
s  a  two-year-old.  She  was  by  Azmoor  2.20%. 
Maine's  foal  of  1893  was  the  chestnut  filly  Palita, 
wo-year-old  record  2:16,  by  Palo  Alto.  The  follow- 
ng  four  years  her  foals  were  Ellen  Houser  by  Tru- 
nan,  Elsidor  by  Azmoor,  Eligido  by  Altivo,  and  Elsie 
.lac  by  McKinney.  The  last  named  died.  Elsie  failed 
o  produce  a  foal  in  1898,  but  was  bred  again  to 
izmoor  that  year  and  in  1899  foaled  a  bay  colt  that 
vas  afterwards  gelded.  In  1900  she  was  again  barren, 
ind  the  following  year  produced  a  filly  by  Mendocino. 
At  the  Palo  Alto  sale  of  brood  mares  held  at  Wil- 
iam  G.  Layng's  Occidental  Horse  Exchange  in  this 
ity  January  30th,  1902,  Elsie  was  among  those  cata- 
ogued.  A  few  hours  before  the  sale  she  gave  birth 
o  a  fine  bay  colt  in  her  box  stall.  The  mare  and 
'oal  were  knocked  down  to  the  late  Henry  Pierce  of 
he  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  for  $776.  A  few  minutes 
ater  Mr.  C.  A.  Durfee  purchased  this  colt  from  Mr. 
Pierce  for  $387.50,  to  be  delivered  when  the  colt  was 
.veaned.  That  colt  is  now  known  as  Galindo,  and  is 
me  of  the  most  promising  young  horses  in  California. 
Mr.  Pierce  bred  Elsie  to  his  stallion  L.  W.  Russell 
ind  she  produced  a  fine  colt,  now  a  two-year-old.  The 
mare  and  foal  were  sold  to  Mr.  Geo.  A.  Cressey  of 
Modesto.  He  bred  Elsie  to  Chas.  Derby  and  the  pro- 
luce  is  a  fine  weanling.  This  year  she  was  bred  to 
Bonnie  Direct  2:05%.  Although  she  had  lived  to  a 
greater  age  than  the  majority  of  brood  mares  reach, 
she  was  a  well  preserved  mare  up  to  this  season,  and 
It  was  thought  she  would  live  to  produce  several 
,idditional  members  of  her  already  numerous  family. 
She  has  given  to  the  trotting  world  five  standard 
performers,  one  producing  son  and  three  producing 
daughters,   and  her  blood   is  breeding  on. 


Bon  Voyage  was  the  fastest  two-year-old  colt  of  1904 
and  three-year-old  colt  of  1905.  He  was  bred  by  the 
well-known  veteran  trainer  and  breeder,  Chas.  Mar- 
vin of  Lexington,  Kentucky,  who  raced  him  as  a  two- 
year-old,  gave  him  a  record  of  2:15  in  the  two-year- 
old  division  of  the  Kentucky  Futurity  which  he  won, 
and  then  sold  him  to  Mr.  Clark  for  $10,000.  The 
breeding  of  Bon  Voyage  is  a  study  worth  while  to 
those  who  interest  themselves  in  pedigrees.  His  sire, 
Expedition  2:15%,  is  one  of  the  most  fashionably 
bred  sons  of  Electioneer,  being  out  of  Lady  Russell, 
who  is  credited  with  five  other  standard  performers, 
and  was  by  Harold,  her  dam  the  renowned  Miss  Rus- 
sell, the  dam  of  Maud  S.  2:0S%,  Nutwood  2:18%,  and 
five  others  in  standard  time.  On  the  maternal  side 
he  springs  from  another  great  family.  Bon  Mot,  his 
dam,  is  also  the  dam  of  Endow  (2)  2:14%,  who  holds 
the  world's  record  for  a  two-year-old  trotting  geld- 
ing, and,  besides,  has  produced  Bequeath  (2)  2:23, 
(3)  2:20% — both  by  Cecilian  (2)  2.22.  Bon  Mot  was 
by  Erin  2:24%,  a  son  of  Belmont  64,  and  her  dam  was 
Farce  2:29%,  a  daughter  of  Princeps.  This  is  a  very 
choice  combination  of  the  best  speed  producing 
blood  lines,  and  one  that  will  undoubtedly  commend 
itself  to  the  progressive  breeders  of  this  State.  Bon 
Voyage  will  be  in  charge  of  Mr.  J.  O.  Gerrity,  4607 
Agricultural  avenue,  Los  Angeles,  to  whom  all  com- 
munications should  be  addressed. 


MONTANA   NEWS. 


BON  VOYAGE,  the  fastest  three-year-old  trotting 
colt  of  this  year,  with  a  record  of  2:12%,  winner  of 
the  Horse  Review  and  Kentucky  Futurities  of  1904 
land  the  Hartford  Futurity  of  this  year,  and  owned 
|  by  Mr.  W.  A.  Clark  Jr.,  will  make  the  season  of  1906 
at  Agricultural  Park,   Los  Angeles,   at  a  fee  of  $50. 


THE  FIRST  holiday  paper  to  reach  our  desk  this 
season  is  The  Breeders'  Gazette  of  Chicago,  a  journal 
that  stands  at  the  very  head  of  its  class,  and  is  more 
widely  read  than-  any  paper  devoted  to  live  stock 
interests  in  this  country.  This  edition  is  beautifully 
illustrated  with  half-tone  engravings  of  cattle,  sheep, 
and  other  farm  animals  and  contains  much  that  is 
interesting  and  of  value  to  the  live  stock  breeder. 
The  cover  page  is  by  the  well  known  artist  F.  Whit- 
ney, and  is  most  artistic. 


CHAMPIONS  TO  BE   OUT   IN    1906. 


In  the  death  of  Hon.  Frank  G.  Higgins  of  Missoula 
an  enthusiastic  horseman  has  been  lost  to  Montana, 
During  the  past  few  years  the  health  of  Mr.  Higgins 
has  been  such  that  he  could  not  participate  in  racing 
as  he  wanted  to  and  his  horses  were  idle.  During  his 
racing  career  the  Higgins  Bros  owned  some  of  the 
very  best  horses  in  the  Northwest.  Ruby  H-.  thought 
to  be  one  of  the  fastest  of  green  pacers,  was  recently 
taken  to  California  by  Chas.  Jeffries,  and  there  are 
others  at  Missoula  now.  In  the  past  Higgins  Bros, 
have  owned  such  horses  as  Brino  Trix,  Rena  X.,  Bill 
Howard,   Midget,   St.  Croix,   etc. 

Frank  G.  Higgins  was  born  in  Missoula  in  1S63,  his 
father,  Captain  Higgins,  owning  what  is  now  the 
city  of  Missoula.  Few  men  were  more  highly  es- 
teemed among  pioneers  than  was  Captain  Higgins. 
Frank  Higgins  was  the  first  native  born  Montanan  to 
sit  in  the  legislature  and  the  first  to  be  elected  to  a 
state  office.      ..* 


Cy  Fleming  of  Spring  Lake  Farm  has  returned  from 
Canada,  where  he  sold  a  car  of  young  horses,  sired  by 
Bob  Fitzsimmons  2:07%,  p.  This  is  the  second  ship- 
ment of  Fitzsimmons  colts  sold  at  Portage  la  Prairie, 
and  they  brought  fair  prices.  Mr.  Fleming  states  that 
all  the  colts  sold  a  year  ago  are  coming  along  nicely 
and  that  there  is  a  great  deal  of  interest  in  the 
harness  horse  throughout  the  Northwest.  Pacers  are 
plentiful,  but  trotters  are  as  scarce  there  as  here. 


Dan  Patch,  against  his  own  world's  record,  which 
embraces  all  the  choice  marks  from  a  quarter  of  a  mile 
to  two  miles,  sulky  and  wagon  included,  coupled  with 
Cresceus,  champion  trotting  stallion  of  the  world,  will 
be  the  double  bill  offered  as  an  attraction  at  harness 
meetings  within  another  year. 

The  purchase  of  Cresceus  recently  by  M.  W.  Savage, 
owner  of  Dan  Patch,  has  been  followed  by  his  state- 
ment that  the  trotting  champion  and  the  present  king 
of  pacers  will  be  sent  on  a  tour  which  will  be  note- 
worthy for  the  first  time  in  harness  history  that  a 
pacing  king  and  a  champion  trotting  stallion  have  been 
exhibited  against  time  together. 

Cresceus  still  clings  to  the  world's  stallion  record 
for  trotters.  During  the  1901  grand  circuit  season  he 
hung  up  a  mark  of  2:02%,  which  reduced  the  then 
world's  standing  mark  held  by  The  Abbott,  which  was 
not  lowered  until  Lou  Dillon  commenced  her  marvelous 
series  of  performances  which  placed  the  best  time  first 
at  2:00,  then  at  1:58%,  which  still  holds  as  the  world's 
record,  wind  shields  not  barred. 

But  Cresceus'  'claim  to  stallion  honors  holds  good, 
and  there  are  many  horsemen  who  believe  that  there 
is  still  a  faster  mile  in  the  "monarch  of  the  home 
stretch,"  and  that  Trainer  Hersey,  who  has  proven 
himself  one  of  the  greatest  conditioners  and  drivers 
in  the  world,  will  be  able  to  bring  him  to  the  post  fit 
to  trot  better  than  ever. 


Rita  Huher,  Senator  Hoffman's  pacing  mare,  has 
gone  to  the  trotting  gait,  and  is  being  worked  that 
way.  Joe  Huber  states  that  the  mare  will  be  entered 
in  the  trots  next  year  and  that  she  is  moving  along 
naturally  at  the  new  gait. 

R.  C.  McFall,  owner  of  Floy  Direct,  was  in  Helena 
a  few  days  ago  after  the  mare  Josephine,  and  has 
taken  her  to  Great  Falls.  The  mare  went  wrong  last 
year  at  Bozeman,  and  for  a»time  was  very  lame,  but 
she  seems  all  right  now  and  has  been  taken  to  Great 
Falls.  She  has  a  world  of  speed  and  there  are  some 
good  horsemen  who  believe  that  she  is  as  good  a  race 
mare  as  Montana  has.

MR.    RUDOLPH    SPRECKELS'    PONIES    TO    RACE. 


The  running  turf  has  gained  a  new  recruit  on  this 
Coast  entirely  through  the  development  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Polo  and  Pony  Racing  Association.  President. 
Rudolph  Spreckels  having  seen  his  cerise,  with  green 
fleur  de  lis  and  cerise  sleeves  and  cap,  carried  to  vic- 
tory in  the  pony  races,  has  determined  to  try  the  big- 
ger game  for  the  pleasure  it  will  afford  him  to  see  his 
thoroughbreds  run. 

His  horses  have  been  training  at  Ingleside,  and  as 
the  next  meet  of  the  Polo  Association  is  some  weeks 
off  he  will  test  their  speed  in  faster  company  than  that 
in  which  they  have  been  running.  The  horses  have 
been  carrying  150  pounds  and  upward  in  the  Polo 
Association  races.  What  they  will  do  with  feather- 
weight jockeys  up  is  a  problem  Mr.  Spreckels  wishes 
to  see  solved. 

The  horses  which  will  sport  his  colors  are  Ulctma, 
a  bay  mare  by  Salvador-Lightning:  Althomer,  a 
chestnut  mare  by  Homer- Altivo;  Cariolly.  a  chestnut 
mare  by  St.  Carlo-Folly,  and  Honoma,  a  chestnut 
mare  by  Homer-Noma. 


BOARD   OF  APPEALS,   N.  T.   A. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Pacific  District  Board  of  Ap- 
peals held  at  36  Geary  street,  on  Thursday  of  this 
week  it  was  ordered  that  the  mare  Norda  be  released 
from  suspsnsion  and  that  the  money  paid  by  G.  W. 
Bonnell  for  removal  of  this  suspension  against  the 
mare  be  returned  to  him,  and  that  Sanford  &  Donahue, 
who  entered  her  without  authority,  be  held  suspended. 
It  was  also  ordered  that  F.  E.  Wright  be  returned  the 
$50  fine  imposed  upon  him  at  the  Los  Angeles  meet- 
ing and  that  suspension  against  him  be  released.  Mr. 
Wright  was  fined  at  the  Los  Angeles  meeting  last 
July,  but  the  fine  was  not  collected  and  he  was  told 
by  officers  of  the  association  that  it  was  remitted. 
This  they  had  not  the  power  to  do  under  the  rules,  so 
Mr.  Wright  paid  the  fine  under  protest.

The  ailments  of  etookare  now  so  closely  studied  by  specialists 
that  we  may  expect  a  new  and  more  effeotlve  class  of  remedies 
than  has  been  available  In  the  post.  One  of  these,  we  believe, 
nas  already  arrived.  It  Is  Craft's  Distemper  &  Cough  Cure,  ad- 
vertised in  another  column.  This  remedy  is  not  a  cure-all  but  Is 
intended  only  for  the  cure  of  distemper,  epizootic,  pinkeye, 
coughs  and  ailments  affeotlng  the  mucous  surfaces  This  remedy 
Is  endorsed  by  thousands  of  the  leading  horsemen,  and  Is  always 
sold  under  a  guarantee  of  money  back  If  It  falls.  This  Is  a  remedy 
that  mav  at  any  time  be  worth  hundreds  of  dollars  to  stook  own- 
ers, and  our  readers  should  be  familiar  wltb  It.  Ifvou  will  write

The  man  who  thinks  the  judges  are  always  wrong, 
and  himself  always  right,  is  usually  the  fellow  who 
lost   the   race. 


That  the  people  of  California  are  interested  in  hav- 
ing the  State  built  up  with  a  good  class  of  citizens  is 
evidenced  by  the  numerous  responses  from  the  notices 
printed  in  this  and  other  papers  over  the  State,  asking 
that  names  of  Eastern  friends  be  sent  to  The  Cali- 
fornia Promotion  Committee,  at  San  Francisco.  The 
committee  has  received  hundreds  of  answers  and  has 
sent  literature  and  personal  letters  to  all  of  the 
parties  named  in  the  responses.  Already  a  partial 
result  has  been  attained  as  some  answers  have  been 
received  from  the  Easterners  who  are  sitting  close 
to  their  fires  when  they  received  the  literature  telling 
of  the  balmy  climate  in  California  and  showing  some 
of  the  wonderful  productions  of  the  Slate.  It  is  esti- 
mated by  the  California  Promotion  Committee  that 
these  letters  will  be  the  means  of  bringing  a  large 
number  of  new  settlers  to  California  within  the  next 
year.  Let  the  good,  work  go  on.  If  you  have  any 
friends  or  acquaintances  in  the  East  who  you  think 
would  make  desirable  citizens  for  Californis  send  fcheii 
names  and  addresses  to  the  California  Promotion 
Committee,  25  New  Montgomery  street,  San  Francisco, 
and  that  organization  will  do  all  in  its  power  to  make 
your  friends  fall  in  love  with  California  and  come 
out  here  to  live.

t  the  horses  on  the  gravel  train,  and  the  reform 
vernors,  by  prohibiting  betting  on  the  trotting,

1  glad  to  state  to  you  that  the  'bears'  were  entirely 
staken  The  trotting  horse  breeding  business  never 
iked  better  to  me  than  now.  There  never  was  a 
ne  when  a  good  horse  would  bring  any  more  money, 
am  safe  in  saying  that  good  horses  are  sixty  per 
it  higher  now-  than  they  were  ten  years  ago.  len 
ars  ago  I  bought  Col.  Kuser  and  Bravado,  two 
st-class  race  horses,  for  half  the  money  I  can  buy 
i  same  kind  of  a  horse  now.  I  think  the  European 
■irket  was  never  as  good  for  the  American  trotter 
it  is  at  the  present  time.  I  am  shipping  from  New 
Tk  to  Europe  on  the  11th  of  this  month  one  of  the 
,st  expensive  consignments  that  I  have  ever  ship- 
i  In  the  lot  is  that  good  horse.  Hamson  Wilkes, 
10m  I  think  has  amply  proven  by  his  public  per- 
•manees  that  he  can  be  called  a  first-class  type  of 

■  American    trotting    horse.      He    was    bought    for 

■  Joseph     Setana     (Signor    Guiseppe     Setana),     of 
logna,   Italy,   who  expects   to   race   him   and   after- 

-  rds  use  him  for  breeding  purposes.  In  the  same 
1  is  Harry  Simmons,  with  a  record  of  2:12%,  who 
l>s  to  Mr.  Lamma,  the  gentleman  who  has  helped 
1  make  the  American  trotting  horse  famous  abroad 
h  Kirkwood,  Jr..  whom  he  owns  and  drives  him- 
If  and  when  you  take  into  consideration  that  Mr. 
Jmma  is  not  a  light-weight  and  that  he  trained 
1  !  drove  and  conditioned  Kirkwood,  Jr.,  in  a  man- 
i-  that  made  him  beat  the  best  horses  in  Europe. 
;  1  also  the  two-mile  record  for  that  country,  you 
1  1  imagine  that  Mr.  Lama  must  be  a  finished  horse- 
1  n;  and  I  can  also  add  from  my  own  knowledge 
1  t  he  is  a  polished  gentleman  and  one  of  the  right 
I  t.  I  want  for  export  the  best  trotting  mare  for 
1  ing  purposes  in  this  country.  Which  one  is  it 
lilso  want  the  highest  class  pair  of  trotting-bred 
I  ch  mares  that  can  be  found.  Give  me  a  little  ol

'  Raymond,"  the  well-known  correspondent  of  the 
Horse  World,  recently  paid  a  visit  to  the  Empire  City 
Farm,  where  the  ex-California  stallion  MeKinney  is 
now  (he  premier,  and  gives  his  impression  as  fol- 
lows : 

'MeKinney,  2:1114,  has  attained  his  present  almost 
unparalleled  position  among  the  great  sires  of  ex- 
treme speed  without  having  had  access  to  a  big  pri- 
vate collection  of  carefully  selected  matrons.  What 
then  will  be  his  standing  as  the  result  of  his  stud  ser- 
vices at  Empire  City  Farm?  This  was  the  question 
that  kept  flitting  through  my  mind  one  day  last  week 
while  looking  over  the  grand  collection  of  mares  at 
McKinney's  present  home.  Among  the  mares  roam- 
ing in  the  paddocks,  and  nearly  all  of  which  are  in 
foal  to  MeKinney,  I  saw  Bay  Star,  2:  OS,  by  Ken- 
tucky Star;  Bouncer.  2:09,  by  Hummer;  Quality. 
2:13i4.  by  Electioneer;  Emma  'Winter,  2.U]/2,  by  Di- 
rectum; Midi,  2:11,  by  Electrician:  Boquita,  2:ll]/2. 
by  Bow  Bells;  Amaryalla  Bell.  2:19i<;.  by  Liberty 
Bell;  Deluge  2:1914.  by  Bow  Bells;  Princess  Royal. 
2:20.  dam  of  the  Earl,  2:14%.  etc.,  by  Chimes;  Lady 
Rivers,  dam  of  Sweet  Marie,  2:04%;  Grace  Boyd,  dam 
of  Grace  Bond,  2:0914;  Leonor.  2:24,  dam  of  Dr.  Book, 
2:10;  Deluge,  dam  of  Cathode,  2:1314;  Charming  Bun- 
ker, sister  to  Cheery  Lass,  2:03%;  Grace  Hamlin,  sis- 
ter to  Heir-at-Law,  2:05%,  and  a  number  of  younger 
mares  of  royal  breeding,  many  of  them  being  out  of 
some  of  the  mares  just  mentioned.  These  mares,  In 
addition  to  the  outside  mares  sent  to  MeKinney  made 
perhaps,  the  most  notable  collection  of  mares  ever 
mated  to  any  sire  in  one  season. 

1  was  particularly  anxious  to  see  Lady  Rivers,  the 
dam  of  Sweet  Marie.  She  is  a  medium-sized  brown 
mare  of  more  than  ordinary  finish  and  her  famous 
daughter  resembles  her  some  in  contour  of  head  and 
neck.  She  has  excellent  limbs  and  looks  as  though 
she  might  be  a  prolific  breeder  for  many  years  to 
come.  She  has  at  her  side  a  good  looking,  although 
not  large  filly  by  Boydello  and  she  is  safely  in  foal 
to  MeKinney. 

The  Messrs.  Simpson  are  not  so  hide-bound  as  to 
be  blinded  to  the  advantages  of  sending  some  of  their 
good  mares  to  other  leading  sires,  as  is  shown  by 
the  fact  that  I  saw  on  the  farm  weanlings  by  Cres- 
ceus,  2:021i;  Dan  Patch.  1:5514;  Arion.  2:07%,  and 
Jay  McGregor.  2:07%. 

MeKinney  himself  is  looking  excellent  after  his 
heavy  season  in  the  stud.  Everyone  interested  in 
the  trotting  horse  has  either  seen  MeKinney  or  a 
photographic  reproduction  of  him,  but  only  those  who 
have  seen  the  horse  himself  can  realize  the  well-bal- 
anced combination  of  substance  and  finish  embodied 
in  his  anatomical  make-up.  Some  of  the  photographs 
of  MeKinney  show  him  to  be  a  horse  of  very  fine  fin- 
ish, but  lacking  somewhat  in  substance,  while  others 
show  his  susbstance  fully,  but  do  not  depict  the  fin- 
ish which  the  observer  of  the  horse  himself  sees. 
No  camera  seems  to  have  caught  the  happy  medium 
yet.  for  MeKinney  really  has  substance  and  finish  com- 
bined in  a  degree  rarely  seen  in  a  horse.  I  am  told 
that  he  has  been  a  remarkably  sure  foal-getter  this 
season,  which  I  can  readily  believe  after  seeing  the 
superb  physical  condition  he  is  in  this  fall. 

Before  leaving  the  subject  of  Empire  City  Farm,  it 
may  be  pertinent  to  notice  the  addition  of  two  more 
noted  matrons  to  McKinney's  harem.,  as  during  the 
Fasig- Tipton  sale  Gazelle,  2.11%.  dam  of  Zolock, 
2:05%.  and  Zephyr.  2:07%,  by  Gossiper,  and  Nysa,  by 
Allerton,  2:09%,  dam1  the  famous  Cyprus,  2:22%,  by 
Strathmore.  were  purchased  by  Messrs.  Simpson.  Ga- 
zelle has  already  shown,  that  she  is  the  right  nick  for 
MeKinney  by  producing  Zolock.  2:05%.  by  him  and 
Zephyr,  2:07%,  to  the  cover  in  his  son  Zombro,  while 
Nysa,  with  her  Wilkes-Strathmore-Belmont  blood 
ought  to  do  so  as  soon  as  given  a  chance.  This 
daughter  of  Allerton.  by  the  way,  is  an  own  sister  to 
Kaffa,  2:19%;  Harbor,  2:19%;  Falfa.  2:20:  Imerino, 
2.20,  etc..  which  makes  her  a  notable  addition  to  the 
great  collection  of  brood  mares  at  Empire  City  Farm.

Long  distance  races  are  still  held  once  in  a  while 
in  Yankee  land.  A  Massachusetts  paper  says:  Henry 
Sawyer  of  Marlboro,  in  a  race  against  time  with  his 
little  mare,  won  $300  last  week  by  driving  her  from 
Marlboro  to  the  union  passenger  station  in  Worces- 
ter, sixteen  miles,  in  57  minutes.  The  race  against 
time  was  the  outcome  of  a  discussion  which  Mr. 
Sawyer  had  with  Mitchell  Blanchard  of  Marlboro 
regarding  the  ability  of  the  mare.  Mr.  Blanchard 
claimed  the  mare  could  not  cover  the  distance  in 
an  hour,  and  Mr.  Sawyer  took  him  and  the  arrange- 
ments for  the  race  were  made.  Mr.  Sawyer  and  his 
mare  were  started  from  Marlboro  by  John  Ward,  who 
came  to  Worcester  by  train,  and  Mr  Blanchard  came 
up  on  the  electric,  but  the  mare  beat  him  out  by 
a  minute.  Patrick  Regan  of  Worcester  was  referee, 
and  the  timer  at  the  Worcester  end  of  the  race  was 
Joseph  Champney.  The  mare  finished  the  race  in 
good  condition.

It  is  stated  that  the  Tennessee  Breeders'  Associa- 
tion  an  organization  maintained  to  promote  thor- 
oughbred racing  in  that  State,  purposes  to  go  ahead 
With  its  plans  in  1906.  regardless  of  the  fact  thai  ll 
strong  anti-betting  law  was  passed  by  the  legislature: 
This  law  is  to  take  effect  on  December  1  of  this  year. 
On  or  about  this  date  the  Tennessee  association  In- 
tends to  give  a  one-day  meeting  for  the  purpose  of 
testing  the  law  The  case  will  go  to  the  courts  im- 
mediately, and  according  to  a  number  of  Tennessee's 
most  prominent  lawyers,  it  is  said,  the  law  will  be 
decided  unconstitutional.  If  the  case  should  fall  of 
this  result,  however,  the  association  will  attempt  to 
conduct  its  usual  spring  running  meeting  anyhow, 
feeling  justified  in  that  course  by  a  very  strong  and 
popular  sentiment  against  the  new  law. 


PHuENIX.   Nov.   28,   1905. 

Breeder  and  Sportsman:  The  elements  have  played 
our  fair  management  a  bad  turn.  The  worst  storm 
that  has  visited  this  territory  in  fourteen  years  has 
just  been  sweeping  over  this  section  and  it  has  re- 
sulted in  so  crippling  the  railroads  and  weakening 
their  bridges  in  this  neghborhood  as  to  make  it  un- 
certain as  to  when  they  can  be  in  shape  to  insure  the 
prompt  movement  of  live  stock  and  other  exhibits  for 
the  fair;  and  under  these  circumstances,  our  fair 
commissioners  have  deemed  it  best  to  change  the 
dates  of  the  fair  to  December  25-30.  We  have  there- 
fore reopened  our  purses  for  class  races,  to  close  De- 
cember 16th.  and  have  notified  all  nominators  in  our 
races  to  that  effect. 

It  seems  hard  that  we,  who  have  never  known  bad 
weather  here  at  this  season  of  year,  should  be  com- 
pelled to  postpone  our  first  fair  on  account  of  the 
weather;  but  under  the  circumstances  it  seems  such 
a  course  will  be  for  the  best  interests  of  all  con- 
cerned, and  as  our  dates  will  still  have  the  advantage 
of  not  conflicting  with  meetings  at  any  other  points, 
it  will  probably  be  of  little,  if  any,  inconvenience  to 
visiting  horsemen.  The  w-eather  has  now  cleared  up 
nicely,  and  the  storm  had  no  harmful  effects  locally, 
except  to  injure  the  railroad  roadbeds  and  bridges,  and 
as  it  is  uncertain  just  when  proper  repairs  can  be 
made,  our  commissioners  did  not  want  to  take  the 
chance  of  having  any  horses  delayed  on  the  road  that 
might  be  shipped  here,  and  so  thought  it  best  to 
change  the  dates  and  reset  them  far  enough  in  ad- 
vance to  insure  settled  conditions  and  prevent  any 
further  inconvenience  to  those  wishing  to  attend  or 
bring  horses  from  a  distance. 

Kindly  make  mention  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
of  the  change  of  our  dates,  and  that  our  purses  will 
be  open  till  December  16th.     Yours  very  truly. 

W.  N.  TIFFANY,  Superintendent  of  Speed. 


MORNING  STAR  2:043.,. 


Star  Pointer's  son.  Morning  Star,  that  sold  for 
$10,500  at  the  Old  Glory  sale  last  week,  is  described 
by  Murray  Howe  as  follows: 

Morning  Star  is  a  pacer,  and  the  sort  of  a  pacer 
that  any  turf  writer,  familiar  with  his  short  career, 
could  write  a  book  about.  In  1904  he  made  his  initial 
start  at  Detroit  as  a  green  horse  and  fought  it  out 
with  the  best  in  the  land  every  week  during  the  entire 
racing  season.  In  thirteen  starts  he  was  six  times 
first  and  seven  times  second,  taking  a  record  of  2:04% 
in  a  winning  race.  During  the  fall  meeting  at  Mem- 
phis he  joined  Mr.  Billings'  stable  and  was  booked 
as  a  new  pole  mate  for  Prince  Direct.  In  their  first 
assault  against  the  watch  this  pair  startled  the  turf 
word  with  a  mile  in  2:06,  which  mile  is  still  the 
world's  amateur  record.  Afterwards  the  pair  took 
a  shy  at  the  world's  half-mile  record  and  lowered 
it  to  1:00%.  Both  of  these  performances  were  to 
wagon  driven  by  their  owner.  As  everyone  expected. 
Morning  Star  trained  on  and  has  not  only  won  cham- 
pionship laurels  in  the  amateur  world  the  past  season, 
but  has  shown  form  that  warrants  the  prediction  that 
he  will  eventually  beat  two  minutes.  In  all  his  nu- 
merous trips  against  time  he  has  finished  first,  and 
in  his  races,  including  the  free-for-all  cup  events  at 
the  Chicago  &  Pittsburg  Inter-City  matinees,  he 
easily  defeated  his  fields  He  finished  the  season  with 
a  matinee  record  to  wagon  of  2:03,  and  was  never 
given  a  trial  to  sulky.  One  of  his  last  stunts  was  a 
quarter  in  28  seconds  to  wagon,  driven  by  Mr.  Mc- 
Crea  of  Chicago.  On  another  occasion  earlier  in  the 
season  he  was  driven  by  a  lady  who  had  never  pulled 
a  line  over  him  before  a  mile  in  2:07.  In  point  of  looks 
Morning  Star  is  a  picture,  his  manners  in  and  out  of 
harness  could  not  be  improved  upon,  and  taking  all 
his  qualities  in  consideration  it  is  doubtful  if  his  equal 
is  in  existence.

Mr.  Fred  Pabst.  one  of  Milwaukee's  leading  whips, 
and  who  is  well  versed  in  requirements  of  show  ring 
winners  has  decided  to  breed  trotting  bred  show- 
horses  on  a  large  scale  Twenty  years  of  study  of 
what  the  market  requires,  convinces  him  that  the 
\merican  market  still  offers  opportunities  for  a  profit- 
able investment  of  this  kind,  providing  stock  of  the 
right  size,  conformation  and  action,  of  proper  breed- 
ing is  secured  as  a  foundation.  It  is  hoped  that  Mr. 
Pabst  will  launch  his  venture  in  the  neighborhood 
of  the  smaller  breeders  in  rearing  the  kind  of  horses 
for  which  there  is  a  market,  on  a  paying  basis. 
Horsemen  generally  hail  Mr.  Pabsfs  advent  with 
satisfaction,  and  hope  to  see  him  compete  success- 
fully in  our  coming  horse  shows  and  stale  T.,  r  ex- 
hibits,   realizing    that    the    breeding    industry    will    be 

decidedly  benefited  by  so  well  posted   an  acquisll

Sir  AJ 


The  sooner  after  the  first  of  January  California  as- 
ons   announce  their  intention  of  giving  a  har- 
neetlng  in   11*06  and  claim  dates  the  better  the 
circuit  will  be. 


A  good  Zombro  always  brings  good  money.  J.  E. 
Of  Cornelius.  Ore.,  has  sold  to  J.  W.  Cowan, 
of  Ki Harney,  Manitoba,  Canada,  though  his  agent,  W. 
\V.  Smith  of  Lafayette,  the  3-year-old  stallion,  The 
Zoo,  by  Zombro,  dam  Beulah,  by  Altamont.  Consid- 
eration, $2,000. 


James  Thompson,  who  enjoys  the  reputation  of  be- 
ing one  of  the  best  conditioners  that  ever  fitted  a 
harness  horse  for  a  race,  and  who  has  the  happy  fac- 
ulty of  bringing  his  horses  home  sound  and  all  right 
after  a  hard  campaign,  has  opened  a  training  and  sale 
stable  at  Pleasanton  track  and  invites  correspondence 
from  owners  and  breeders.  Mr.  Thompson  is  in  close 
touch  with  a  number  of  eastern  gentlemen  who  are 
always  ready  to  pay  a  fair  price  for  a  horse  that  just 
suits  them.  Mr.  Thompson  has  just  returned  from 
a  tour  of  the  Grand  Circuit  with  Mr.  J.  C.  Kirkpat- 
rick's  good  gelding  John  Caldwell,  and  while  he  did 
not  win  a  very  big  pile,  owing  to  the  fact  that  he  was 
continually  meeting  fields  that  were  trotting  around 
2 :  05,  he  "made  expenses"  and  brought  the  gelding 
back  in  such  fine  shape  that  he  was  able  to  win  both 
his  races  in  straight  heats  on  the  Southern  Califor- 
nia circuit  last  minth  and  broke  the  California  trot- 
ting race  record  when  he  won  two  heats  of  his  Los 
aigeles  race  in  2:08%. 


H.  S.  Hogoboom  is  working  six  head  of  trotters 
and  pacers  at  the  Woodland  Stock  Farm  race  track 
and  all  are  doing  well.  Among  them  is  the  fast  but 
hitherto  unruly  pacing  mare  Mildred  O.,  which  seems 
to  have  mended  her  ways  considerably  under  Mr. 
Hogoboom's  care.  The  track  is  in  fine  shape,  and  a 
prosperous  season  is  expected  by  the  Yolo  county  farm- 
ers and  stock  men.  Mr.  Hogoboom  has  the  stallion 
Iran  Alto.  2:12%,  in  fine  order  for  the  coming  season. 


Mr.  C.  L.  Griffith,  of  Pleasanton,  recently  secured  a 
long  lease  of  about  250  acres  of  rolling  hill  land  just 
east  of  that  town  and  is  building  a  residence  thereon 
and  will  reside  there  with  his  family.  There  are  about 
250  acres  of  farming  land,  which  will  be  sown  to 
grain  and  grasses  and  used  for  hay  and  pasturage  for 
Mr.  Griffith's  mares  and  the  mares  sent  to  be  bred  to 
Bonnie  Direct,  2:05%.  and  Bonnie  Steinway.  The 
place  is  an  ideal  one,  the  residence  occupying  a  beau- 
tiful site  on  the  crest  of  a  hill  overlooking  the  entire 
vally.  where  it  is  sheltered  by  immense  pine  and 
eucalyptus  trees,  which,  however,  do  not  shut  out  any 
of  the  beautiful  views.  Mr.  Griffith  is  having  the 
barns  and  paddocks  put  in  first-class  condition  and 
there  will  be  no  finer  horse  farm  in  the  country  when 
all  the  improvements  are  made.  Bonnie  Direct  and 
Bonnie  Steinway  and  the  colts  by  the  first-named  that 
will  be  worked  for  speed  will  be  kept  at  the  Pleasan- 
ton race  track  heretofore. 


Every  person  who  attended  the  recent  meeting 
given  by  the  Los  Angeles  Harness  Horse  Association 
expresses  the  opinion  that  the  racing  was  the  best 
they  ever  saw  on  any  track. 


A  movement  is  on  foot  among  a  number  of  gentle- 
men with  capital  to  erect  in  this  city  a  building  where 
horse  sales  can  be  conducted  in  an  up-to-date  man- 
ner. San  Francisco  has  been  sadly  in  need  of  such  a 
building,  and  nothing  will  aid  the  horse  market  here 
more  than  the  erection  of  one  that  will  not  only  fur- 
nish good  accommodations  for  fine  horses,  but  also  a 
sales  ring  and  auditorium  where  people  who  attend 
can  be  comfortably  seated  during  day  or  evening 
sales  and  in  all  sorts  of  weather.  We  hope  the  project 
will  be  i  arrif-d  oul  and  are  certain  that  such  a  build- 
ing will  pay  a  good   profit  on  the  investment.

The  Phoenix,  Arizona,  meeting  had  to  be  postponed 
until  December  25-30,  on  account  of  the  big  rain  last 
week.  This  is  the  first  time  in  fourteen  years  that  a 
«torm  has  visited  Phoenix  the  first  week  in  December. 


A  pair  of  Shetland  ponies  with  a  double  harness  and 
two  seated  surrey  are  to  be  sold  at  the  Davis  sale 
next  Tuesday  evening.  The  ponies  are  well  matched, 
five  years  old,  and  the  surrey  and  harness  were  made 
to  order.  Here  is  a  chance  to  make  a  Christmas 
present.

Barney  Simpson  is  training  a  very  promising  two- 
year-old  trotter  by  Clay  S.  2:13%  out  of  a  mare  by 
Major,  second  dam  Orphan  Girl  by  Buccaneer.  Major 
is  a  son  of  the  Nutwood  stallion  Cornelius,  and  out  of 
mare  by  Anteeo. 


Will  Fleming,  owner  of  Bill  Bailey,  Go  Direct  and 
other  pacers,  is  wintering  at  Portage  la  Prairie,  and 
will  have  some  part  in  the  winter  racing  there.  He 
has  enlarged  his  string  since  he  left  Montana,  and 
Bailey  is  among  the  first-class  ones  of  the  East. 


There  is  a  report  that  L.  E.  Hanchette,  who  re- 
cently effected  the  purchase  of  the  San  Jose,  Santa 
Clara  and  Alum  Rock  electric  railway  for  a  company 
of  capitalists,  has  also  just  completed  negotiations 
for  Agricultural  Park,  San  Jose.  Whether  the  race 
track  will  be  kept  up  is  not  yet  known. 


Mr.  T.  W.  Barstow,  the  well-known  horseman  of 
San  Jose,  leaves  today  for  a  trip  to  Canon  City,  Colo., 
from  where  he  has  been  receiving  many  flattering 
offers  to  locate.  He  will  look  over  the  situation  there 
and  if  it  meets  with  his  approbation  will  probably  re- 
move his  entire  stud  of  stallions,  brood  mares  and 
horses  in  training  to  that  point.  He  owns  the  stal- 
lion Nearest,  2:22,  a  full  brother  to  the  great  trotter 
John  A.  McKerron,  2:04%,  and  sire  of  Alone,  2:09%, 
and  other  very  fast  ones.  He  also  owns  a  two-year- 
old  McKinney  stallion  that  is  one  of  the  best  bred 
McKinneys  living,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  promis- 
ing. His  dam  is  by  Nearest,  brother  to  John  A.  Mc- 
Kerron, 2:04%.  second  dam  Fanny  Menlo,  dam  of 
Claudius,  2.12*,  third  dam  by  Anteeo,  2:16%,  fourth 
dam  (the  dam  of  California  Nutwood),  by  George  M. 
Patchen.  Mr.  Barstow  will  take  about  twenty  head 
of  horses  with  him  if  he  decides  to  locate  at  Canon 
City,  where  there  is  an  excellent  half  mile  track  and 
fair  grounds,  located  in  the  midst  of  a  thriving  farm- 
ing community.  Nearest  will  be  greatly  missed  by 
the  breeders  of  Santa  Clara  county,  where  he  has  re- 
ceived a  large  patronage.  His  colts  are  all  fine  in- 
dividuals, large  and  fast.  The  three-year-old  pacer 
Highfly,  by  Nearest,  owned  by  Mr.  Barstow,  stepped 
a  half  in  1.00%  at  San  Jose  last  summer,  the  last 
eighth  in  14  seconds.  This  colt  is  one  of  the  coming 
sensations.  He  carries  several  crosses  of  the  blood 
of  Williamson'  Belmont  in  his  veins,  getting  one 
through  his  sire  Nearest,  another  through  Bismark, 
sir,e  of  his  dam,  and  a  third  through  his  great 
grandam,  who  was  by  this  thoroughbred  ancestor  of 
so  many  fast  ones,  including  Lou  Dillon.  1:58%;  John 
A.  McKerron,  2:04%;  Sweet  Marie,  2:04%,  and  many 
others.  Mr.  Barstow  promises  to  give  us  his  impres- 
sions of  the  country  around  Canon  City  on  his  re- 
turn. If  he  decides  to  locate  there  the  accession  of 
his  stud  of  grandly  bred  horses  will  be  Colorado's  gain 
and  California's  loss. 


The  only  world's  record  that  went  down  the  past 
season  was  that  of  Dan  Patch,  who  reduced  his  own 
record  a  second. 


The  Sacramento  Fire  Department  has  a  pair  of 
horses  in  service  that  are  21  years  old.  They  have 
been  in  active  use  in  the  department  for  twelve  years, 
and  respond  to  a  fire  alarm  now  as  well  as  younger 
horses,  and  seem  to  have  as  much  speed  as  ever. 
They  are  a  handsome  pair  of  blacks  and  have  evi- 
dently had  good  care. 


M.  T.  Grattan,  the  Preston,  Minn.,  breeder,  has  just 
sold  another  colt  through  his  established  practice  oi 
selling  to  the  highest  bidder,  the  bids  to  be  mailed 
or  filed  in  writing  and  are  then  opened,  on  a  certain 
date,  which  is  previously  set,  when  they  close.  By 
this  method  G.  E.  Powell,  of  Parsons,  Kan.,  has  se- 
cured the  weaning  colt  Superb  McGregor,  an  own 
brother  to  Alice  McGregor  (4)  2:22%,  for  $233. 


North  Star  2:13%  by  Nutwood  Wilkes  won  all  the 
big  three-year-old  trotting  stakes  in  California  this 
year  and  closed  the  season  with  over  $5000  to  his 
credit.  If  you  want  your  foal  of  this  year  to  duplicate 
North  Star's  performance  you  will  have  to  start  right 
by  entering  in  all  the  stakes  of  1908.  The  Occident 
Stake,  which  is  the  richest  of  them  all,  closes  January 
1st. 


William  Darling,  one  of  Chicago's  veteran  drivers  of 
trotters,  died  recently  in  a  sanitarium.  His  mental 
condition  had  been  failing  for  some  five  or  six  years. 
He  was  a  contemporary  and  competitor  at  the  old 
Dexter  Park  track  of  such  men  as  Sam  Crooks,  Simon 
Anderson  and  Geo.  Logan.  Among  his  pupils  was  the 
late  George  West,  who  was  one  of  the  most  success- 
ful reinsmen  the  great  West  ever  turned  out  to  invade 
the  precincts  of  the  Grand  Circuit. 


The  fastest  trotting  team  in  Canada,  Mary  Scott, 
2:14,  and  Jennie  Scott,  2:14%.  were  recently  pur- 
chased by  Mr.  John  Crabtree,  of  Boston,  Mass.,  for 
$5  000.  They  are  own  sisters,  sired  by  Bryson,  2:15, 
son  of  Simmons,  and  were  owned,  developed  and  suc- 
cessfully campaigned  several  seasons  by  Mr.  A.  Col- 
lins, a  prominent  knight  of  the  sulky  of  Hamilton. 
The  great  span  of  mares  were  named  in  honor  of  the 
daughters  of  Mr.  Hugh  Scott,  of  Toronto,  who  form- 
erly owned  Bryson.  2:15. 


Many  tracks  in  California  are  condemned  for  winter 
training  just  because  they  are  not  properly  drained. 
Even  an  adobe  track  can  be  used  a  day  or  two  after 
a  rain  storm  if  it  is  built  so  that  the  water  does  not 
stand  on  it.  A  good  deep  ditch  at  the  inside  rail  to 
carry  off  the  water,  and  the  track  slanted  to  this 
ditch  ail  the  way  around,  with  a  culvert  under  the 
track  at  the  lowest  point  to  carry  off  the  water,  will  i 
make  a  winter  training  track  of  many  that  are  con- 
sidered useless  for  this  purpose. 


Lady  May,  the  brood  mare  by  Port  Leonard,  owned 
by  Col.  Exall  of  Texas,  is  now  the  dam  of  seven 
standard  performers,  all  by  his  stallion  Electrite.  The 
fastest  is  the  trotter  Blondie  2:13%,  one  of  the  most 
noted  horses  on  the  New  York  speedway. 


If  there  is  anyone  that  doubts  the  permanent  value 
of  trotting  stock  let  him  look  over  the  summary  of 
the  Old  Glory  sale  at  New  York  that  closed  las! 
week.  Over  a  thousand  horses  were  sold  and  they 
averaged  nearly  $600  each 


If  the  managers  of  California  tracks  will  meet  and 
make  an  early  announcement  of  a  California  circuit, 
with  fair  purses  for  trotters  and  pacers,  harness  rac- 
ing will  have  a  big  boost  on  this  coast.  A  good  circuit 
will  secure  entries  from  all  the  best  trainers  on  the 
coast,  and  keep  several  at  home  who  have  heretofore 
raced  on  the  Grand  CireuX  With  Chas.  DeRyder, 
Millard  Sanders,  James  Thompson,  Monroe  Salisbury! 
and  several  others  racing  on  the  California  circuit! 
the  sport  would  have  a  greatly  increased  interest. 


Key  del  Valle,  the  two-year-old  that  Geo.  Davis 
sold  last  year  for  $2500,  has  since  paced  a  trial  in 
2:06%  and  is  expected  to  go  down  the  Grand  Circuit 
next  year  in  his  four-year-old  form.  A  two-year-old 
full  sister  will  be  offered  at  the  Davis  sale  next 
Tuesday  evening. 


An  advertiser  has  a  very  fine  young  roadster  for 
for  sale  at  a  very  reasonable  price.  Particulars  at 
this  office. 


A  three-year-old  filly  by  Rey  Direct  2:10  out  of 
Stemwinder,  the  dam  of  Directum  2.05%,  will  be 
offered  at  the  Davis  sale  next  Tuesday  evening  at 
Fred  H.  Chase  &  Co.'s  salesyard.  This  filly  is  related 
to  the  royal  families  all  right  and  is  as  good  as  her 
breeding. 


Our  Los  Angeles  correspondent  "Hidalgo"  was  in 
error  when  he  stated  in  his  letter  last  week  that 
James  Thompson  was  behind  Albuta  in  the  2:12  class 
pace.  Ben  Walker  drove  Albuta  in  that  race.  The 
fact  is  that  while  Mr.  Thompson  has  given  Albuta 
all  his  training  and  took  him  through  the  Grand 
Circuit  this  year,  he  has  never  droven  him  in  a  race. 


Will  Hitchings  has  leased  the  Old  Saugus  track  for 
two  more  years.  This  indicates  that  the  harness  rac- 
ing game  will  be  a  feature  in  old  Massachusetts  next 
season. 


Don't  fail  to  enter  your  foal  of  this  year  in  the  Oc- 
cident Stake  of  190S.  Full  particulars  in  our  adver- 
tising columns. 


Laconda,  by  Allerton  2:09%,  came  out  as  a  four- 
year-old,  scoring  a  record  of  2:13%.  This  he  reduced 
to  2:07%  at  five,  to  2:05%  at  six,  to  2:03%  at  second 
and  to  2:02  this  year  at  eight.  Such  consistent  yearly 
improvement — always  in   races — is  almost   unequaled. 


General  Nelson  A.  Miles  was  elected  a  life  member 
and  honorary  president  of  the  Riders  and  Drivers' 
Association  at  the  Metropolitan  Hotel,  Washnigton, 
D.  C,  recently.  The  District  Commissioners  and  Col- 
onel Bromwell.  U.  S.  A.,  also,  were  honorary  members. 
P.  V.  DeGraw,  Fourth  Assistant  Postmaster  General, 
presided. 


If  Tom  Axworthy  2.07  goes  sound  next  season.  Gee 
will  race  him. 


Axtell  2:12  is  now  credited  with  ninety-three  tro 
ters  and  twelve  pacers  in  the  standard  list. 


Bolivar   2:06%,   purchased  last  spring  in  Humbolt 
county  by  Monroe  Salisbury  for  James  Butler  of  Ne 
York,  is  the  leading  money  winning  pacer  of  the  ye 
with  $9820  to  his  credit 


F.    R.    Janvier   of   New   York   last    week    purchai 
from  George  Starr  the  well  known  sire  The  Direc 
General,    31738,    by   Director    217,    dam    Winifrede 
William  L ,  4244;  second  dam  Princess  Eloise  by  Manv 
brino    King    1279.     He   is   the   sire   of  the   sensational 
stallion    Mainsheet    2: 0S%,   winner   at   Cincinnati   and 
Lexington    and   considered   a   sure    2:05    trotter.     The 
price   is   private   but   is   reported   to  be   in   the   neigh- 
borhood of  $12,500. 


The  report  that  Charles  Marvin  would  train  next 
season  for  Henry  Exall,  the  Texas  horseman,  is  denied. 

feoch 

The  $10,500  paid  for  Morning  Star  2:04%  at  the  Old      :.; 
Glory   sale   is   the  highest  price  ever  paid   at  auction 
for  a  pacing  gelding.

THOROUGHBRED   DEPARTMENT.    |J 

By    KiLPn     H.     TOZEK.  Kffll 


1     The    long-continued    run    of    bad    luck    experienced 

by  Jake  Holtman  in  the  starting  business  at  Emery- 

!  ville  is  the  talk  of  the  track  and  the  cause  of  much 

teeth-gnashing  among  the  owners  and  trainers    There 

I  have  been  threats  galore  to  take  big  strings  away  to 

i  some  other  ship  where  Holtman  is  not  at  the  helm 

.  and  there  was   even  talk  of  visiting  wrath  upon  his 

young  head,  but  it  was  thought  better  of — when  they 

thought  of  Jake's  size  and  strength.     The  truth  of  the 

i  whole  matter  is  that  the  system  of  starting  in  vogue 

at  Emeryville   is   bad  and  not  the  starter  that  is   su 

!  much   at   fault.     Do   away   with   the   bull   whips   and 

:  the   "hold-on"   boys — "the   assistant   bookmakers,"   as 

'  a  wag  terms  the  holders  of  heavily- played  horses — and 

I  try   the  walk-up-slowly-in-a-line  plan  so  succesfully 

used   by  Mars   Cassidy.      The   result   will    be   quicker 

starts,   better   send-offs,   no   leaving  of  horses   at  the 

post  that  have  been  played  for  thousands  of  dollars, 

i  no  holding  on,  whippings  or  vexatious  delays,  no  jam- 

'em-up-close      starts      where      there      are      collisions 

!  a-plenty  before  the  field  has  been  on  its  way  a  six- 

[  teenth  of  a  mile.     The  much-dreaded  "schooling  list" 

!  will   look  as   meager  as   a  bone  gnawed   upon  by   a 

'■  hungry  dog  for  three  days,  and  peace  will  be  restored 

;  between  the  starter  and  the  admission-paying  public 

|  and  horsemen.    It  has  to  my  mind  been  amply  demon- 

i  strated  during  the  past  month  that  the  present  plan 

I  of  starting  race  horses  is  as  full  of  flaws  as  a  sieve 

is   of  holes.     As   said   before,   Holtman   is   as   good   a 

!  barrier-wielder  as   there   is    in   the   business,   and   all 

!  that  is  needed  is  to  put  aside  the  plan  that  has  been 

tried,  found  wanting  and  extremely  costly  and  in  its 

I  stead  use  one   that  has  been  wonderfully   successful 

1  and   proved   pleasing   to    all   who    give   "the   sport    of 

kings"   their  moral   and  financial   support. 

*  *         * 

The  return  to  the  turf  in  the  near  future  of  Thomas 
i  H.    Williams    Jr.,    president    of    the    New    California 
:  Jockey  Club,  will  be  hailed  with  pleasure  by  his  host 
I  of  friends,  for  Mr.  W.   never  does  things   by   halves, 
[  and  will  doubtless  gather  together  a  lot  of  tried  racers 
I  with    winning    ways,    as    he    did    twelve    or    thirteen 
'  years  ago.     At  that  time  he   had  probably  the   most 
J  select  stable  in  America,  containing,  as  it  did,  Racine, 
I   the  record-breaker,  the  first  horse   (he  was  a  three- 
;  year-old)    to    run    a   mile    in    1:39%    over    a    circular 
i  track  in  a  race;   Rinfax,  conqueror  of  Geraldine  in  a 
,  match  race  at  Bay  District  and  a  stake-winner  in  the 
i  Far  West,  Middle  West  and  East;   Homer,  about  the 
best  handicap  horse  of  his  day;  Flirtation,  the  cham- 
pion   American    two-year-old    Ally    of   her   year,    and 
the  fleet  little  mare  Tigress,  besides  a  few  others  that 
earned  fame  and  coin.     George  Covington  trained  the 
horses  and  George  Miller,  of  Morello  memory,  did  the 
piloting.     It  is  the  intention  of  Mr.  Williams  to  race 
in  the  Middle  West  if  there  is  any  good  racing  around 
Chicago,    next   year;    if  not,    to    go    to    the   far   East. 
,   Unlike    most    track    owners    who  _  also    possess    race 
:   horses,  the  N.  C.  J.  C.  president  does  not  believe  in 
racing  horses  over  his   own  track,   consequently  sold 
out   when   he   became   the   head   of  turf   affairs  here, 
L  and    this    reflected    great    credit    upon    him    and    did 
[  away  with  all  talk  of  desiring  "a  shade."     The  pur- 
chase   of   the   horses    that    will    make    up    the    string, 
will   be   watched   with   great   interest   in   this  part  of 
the  world.     As  Mr.  W.  does  not  believe  in  two-year - 
I  old   racing,   it  would   not   be   surprising   if  his   stable 
were  made  up  of  three-year-olds  and  older  horses, 
s         *         * 
Richard   Croker,   formerly  the  Tammany   "boss"   of 
New  York,  heads  the  list  of  winning  owners  in  Ire- 
land by  a  large  margin  this  season,  up  to  November 
11th,   his  horses  having  won   thirty  races   and  about 
$26,500    in   our   coin.     Vain  Glory,   an   unbeaten   two- 
year-old  by  Wildfowler,  is  his  principal  money-winner 
and  stands  second  on  the  Irish  list  in  respect  to  money 
won.     Mr.   Croker   is   much  more   popular    in   Ireland 
than  in  England.    It  seems  that  the  English  could  not 
"stand   for"    his    political    record    in    New    Tork,    and 
even  if  he  were  a  multi-millionaire  and  a  stanch  pillar 
of  the  turf,  the  best  people  of  the  "tight  little  isle" 
.   did   not   "cotton"    to  him,   and  he  moved  to   a  more 
congenial  clime.     Ed  Corrigan,  I  am  informed  from  a 
good   source,   stood   very   high    in   turf  circles   during 
his  stay  "across  the  pond,"   and  although   he  had  a 
,    decidedly    blunt    way    of    expressing    himself,    it    was 
,    readily  realized  that  "old  man  Ed"  was   "a  diamond 
in   the   rough."

The  winner  of  the  Dundrum  Plate  at  the  recent 
,  Leopardstown  (Ireland)  meeting  turned  up  in  YanKec 
I    Bill,    a    colt   with    the   most   cosmopolitan   breeding   I 

ever  came  across,   he  being  by  Bill  of  Portland,  an 

English  horse  that  made  a  great  success  at  the  stud 

in  Australia  and  was  then  brought  back  to  his  native 
!  land;  the  dam  of  Yankee  Bill  is  Chance  Shot,  by  our 
;    American  racing  champion,     Hindoo;      second     dam, 

Richochet,  a  Musket  mare  bred  in  New  Zealand  and 
i  brought  to  America  by  Capt.  Thomas  B.  Merry,  for 
I    the  late  L   J.  Rose,  if  memory  serves.     If  Yankee  Bill 

had  a  touch  of  French  or  Austrian  blood  in  his  vein-. 

all   the  great  thoroughbred-breeding  countries  would 

be  represented.

Wildfowler,  son  of  Gallanule  and  Tragedy,  and  head 
of  the  winning  stallions'  list  in  Ireland  this  season, 
is  but  nine  years  old.  He  was  a  St.  Leger  winner. 
Bushev  Park,  by  Hampton-Sunshine,  is  second,  and 
the  former  leader,  Hackler,  by  Petrarch,  is  third, 
closely  pressed  by  the  dead  Isosceles,  by  Isonomy- 
Belphoebe.  Lesterlin  by  Gallanule-Miliora,  fifth  on 
the  list,  is  now  the  property  of  Richard  Croker.  His 
great  horse  Dobbins,  now  dead,  is  nineteenth.  Hack- 
ler's  Pride,  the  double  winner  of  the  Cambridgeshire 


(1904  and  1905)  has  been  purchased  for  a  large  sum 
from  Capt.  Forester  by  Sir  Tatton  Sykes,  and  is  now 
quartered  at  the  latter's  stud  farm  near  Sledmere. 
England.  The  London  Sportsman  has  a  great  mating 
competition  on.  with  Hackler's  Pride  as  the  mare 
for  which  the  most  fitting  mate  is  to  be  found.  Flying 
Fox  is  barred,  and  the  contest  is  open  to  March  1. 
1906.  A  very  representative  committee  has  been  ap- 
pointed, taking  in  all  the  great  breeding  countries 
of  the  world.

Flying  Fox  again  heads  the  list  of  winning  stallions 
in  France.  In  three  seasons  the  progeny  of  this 
wonderful  young  horse  have  won  $520,000  in  our 
money.  Winkfield  Pride  is  a  good  second  this  season, 
Finasseur,  his  splendid  three-year-old  son.  being  his 
mainstay.     Childwick's  big  winner  is  Clyde.

The  great  Rancho  del  Paso  dispersal  sale  began 
at  the  Fasig-Tlpton  Co.'s  place  last  Monday  in  New 
York  under  favorable  auspices.  Ninety-nine  head  of 
brood  mares  were  disposed  of  the  first  day  for 
$53,675,  or  an  average  of  $530.  It  is  now  thought  the 
total  for  the  sale  will  run  very  close  to  the  million- 
dollar  mark. 

The  top  price,  $6000,  was  paid  for  a  California-bred 
Midlothian  mare,  Arnette,  dam  of  Reliable  and  Edna 
Jackson,  Whitney  &  Oxnard,  joined  A.  J.  Joyner  in 
boosting  the  figures,  until  the  mare  was  knocked  down 
to  Joyner,  who  was  probably  acting  for  the  new 
Thomas-Paget  turf  alliance.  Joyner  also  secured 
Afric  Queen,  dam  of  Africander,  for  $5100.  Whitney 
and  Oxnard  again  taking  part  in  the  bidding  Bel- 
lane,  dam  of  St.  Bellane,  one  of  the  best  long-distance 
performers  during  the  recent  season,  went  to  Joyner, 
also  for  $3S00.  John  Mackey,  manager  of  the  Haggin 
breeding  industry,  paid  $5000  for  Colonial.  Oxnard 
purchased  thirty-four  mares  in  all,  paying  $2000  each 
for  Duchess  of  Towers  and  Andrisa.  Another  liberal 
buyer,  C.  Smith,  got  Anglia.  Joyner  made  other  pur- 
chases before  the  sale  was  over,  getting  Braw  Lass, 
dam  of  Niblick,  for  $2500,  and  Brillar,  dam  of  Sir 
Brillar,  for  $1600.

The  coming  sale  of  Antrim  Farm  yearlings  in  this 
city  contains  twelve  youngsters,  the  get  of  imp.  Kis- 
met, Herald,  Cromwell  and  All  Green,  and  most  of 
them  out  of  good  producing  mares.  Cromwell  is  al- 
ready a  sire  of  winners  and  about  the  most  fashion- 
ably-bred son  of  St.  Blaise  in  the  country,  his  dam 
Fiorina  being  an  own  sister  to  Fides,  the  speed  marvel. 
Kismet  and  Herald  have  been  successful  as  sires  and 
are  well  known  Of  All  Green  (son  of  Knight  of 
Ellerslie  and  Lizzie  Pickwick,  by  imp.  Mr.  Pickwick) 
I  predict  wonderful  things  as  a  sire,  if  there  is  any- 
thing in  blood  lines.  Through  Knight  of  Ellerslie  and 
Eolus  clear  to  Eclipse  there  is  nothing  but  success, 
while  the  first  six  dams  of  All  Green  produced  horses 
of  stake  caliber  and  were  by  great  brood  mare  sires.

The  second  day  of  the  Rancho  del  Paso  dispersal 
sale  in  New  York  saw  another  large  crowd  of  breed- 
ers and  turfmen  in  attendance.  Ninety-eight  brood 
mares  realized  a  total  of  $72,675.  With  $53,675  paid 
for  ninety-nine  mares  on  Monday,  the  grand  total  so 
far  foots  up  $126,350,  with  an  average  of  $641.  The 
star  of  the  second  day's  sale  was  Florahurst,  dam  of 
Hurstbourne,  winner  of  $3S,710,  Sandhurst  and  Miner- 
va II.  She  was  knocked  down  to  John  Mackey  for 
$8500.  Mackey,  who  is  manager  of  the  Haggin  studs, 
made  many  other  purchases,  presumably  for  his  em- 
ployer. Margerique,  dam  of  Nasturtium,  for  whom 
the  late  W.  C.  Whitney  paid  $50,000,  brought  $6500. 
She  will  be  sent  to  the  Whitney  stud.  Linda  Vista, 
dam  of  Cairngorm,  winner  of  $47,750  this  season,  was 
sold  to  A.  J.  Joyner  for  $6000.  Linda  Vista,  who  was 
bred  by  the  late  Col.  H  I.  Thornton,  will  probably  be 
bred  to  Hermis,  who  will  be  the  leading  stallion  at  the 
new  establishment.  A  number  of  young  mares,  not 
bred  yet,  were  sold  to  E.  R.  Trooper,  who  represented 
the  English  remount  troop,  it  was  said,  and  was  mak- 
ing selections  for  use  in  the  British  cavalry. 

When  the  third  day's  sale  of  the  Rancho  del  Paso 
mares  ended  a  total  of  102  had  changed  hands  for  the 
day,  and  the  amount  realized  was  $64,050,  an  average 
of  $628.  For  the  three  days  the  number  sold  was  299, 
and  the  gross  amount  footed  up  to  $190,440,  an  average 
of  $63S.  The  highest  figure  reached  today  was  $4100 
for  Sister  Jeanie,  a  six  year  old  Midlothian  mare,  bred 
to  Watercress.  She  was  finally  sold  to  John  Mackey. 
who  is  James  B.  Haggin's  stable  superintendent.  A 
peculiar  thing  is  that  Sister  Jeanie's  dam,  Fannie 
Louise,  brought  but   $450  here  last  Monday  night.

At  the  salesyard  of  Fred  Chase  &  Co    last  Monday 

night  the  horses  belonging  to  the  estate  of  the  late 
Michael  Fox  were  disposed  of  at  auction,  as  follows: 
ReCarlo,  eh.  c,  2.  by  St.  Carlo-Reseda  II,  P.  Ryan, 
$2300;  Masedo,  ch.  g..  4.  by  Maxio-Reseda  II.  $1l'0h. 
F.  Israel:  Fannie  Louise  and  Reseda  II.  two  superior 
brood  mares,  brought  the  ridiculous  sum  of  $450  each, 
Molera  &  Joseph  being  the  lucky  purchasers.  Anti- 
nous,  Edna  Rose  and  the  weanlings  by  Orsinl  and  St. 
Carlo  brought  smaller  sums.

to  the  fact  that  it  was  this  association  that  first  ap- 
peared before  the  legislature  and  asked  that  a  limit 
be  placed  upon  he  number  of  birds  or  animals  that 
we  might  kill  in  one  day.  Not  only  that,  but  at  the 
last  session  we  went  before  the  legislature  and  asked 
for  a  still  greater  reduction  in  that  number,  because 
we  saw  that  game  was  growing  scarce  while  the 
number  of  guns  was  multiplying  and  hunting  be- 
coming more  popular  with  the  young  men.  So  we 
asked  for  that  further  reduction,  which  I  am  sorry  to 
say  we  did  not  succeed  in  obtaining.  In  addition  to 
that,  not  wishing  to  see  those  who  never  hunted 
taxed  for  the  preservation  of  the  game,  we  went  be- 
fore the  legislature  and  asked  that  the  sportsmen, 
those  who  did  hunt,  should  have  a  license  imposed 
on  them  by  the  State  in  order  to  raise  the  money 
necessary  for  the  protection  of  the  game. 

Now,  when  we  do  that,,  we  certainly  cannot  be  ac- 
cused of  being  selfishly  engaged  in  this  work  and 
wanting  to  keep  the  game  for  ourselves.  We  dp  not- 
We  believe  the  game  is  an  important  factor  in  the 
prosperity  of  the  State;  that  it  is  one  of  its  important 
resources.  We  know  that  the  game  of  California  and 
those  varieties  of  fresh  water  fish  which  are  pro- 
tected by  law  at  certain  seasons  furnish  the  people  of 
the  State  with  more  than  23,000,000  pounds  of  whole- 
some food  every  year.  That  being  the  case  there  can 
be  no  question  that  it  is  a  valuable  asset  in  our  re- 
sources; for  every  pound  of  fish  or  game  placed  upon 
our  tables  allows  the  export  of  just  that  much  more 
of  other  products  and  brings  back  to  us  the  value  of 
those  other  products.  So  the  game  and  fish  are  worth 
that  much  in  money  value  to  the  State.  More  than 
that,  we  know  from  observation  and  investigation  that 
the  game  of  California  attracts  to  the  Coast  Eastern 
tourists  and  sportsmen  who  expend  in  our  midst  more 
than  a  million  and  a  quarter  annually.  We  also  know- 
that  the  sportsmen  of  the  State,  those  who  hunt  and 
fish  for  pleasure,  expend  in  the  pursuit  more  than 
seven  and  a  half  millions  every  year.  Who  gets  the 
money?  Your  railroads,  your  hotels,  your  stage  lines, 
your  livery  stables?  Not  they,  for  fhey  spend  it.  It 
also  goes  to  your  gun  shops  and  from  those  it  circu- 
lates in  every  avenue  of  trade.  It  goes  into  the  hands 
of  those  who  work  for   a   livelihood. 

The  object  of  this  association  is  to  try  to  secure 
such  legislation  as  will  maintain  the  supply.  We  are 
trying  to  have  such  laws  passed  and  trying  to  see  that 
they  are  enforced.  And  we  believe  that  the  best  way 
to  secure  their  observance  and  to  cure  a  man  of  vio- 
lating them  is  not  by  arresting  and  punishing  him. 
and  thereby  possibly  making  his  family  suffer  for  his 
wrongful  deed,  but,  if  we  can,  by  going  to  him  and 
talking  to  him  and  showing  him  wherein  he  is  doing 
wrong  not  only  to  himself,  but  to  his  fellow  citizens, 
converting  his  heart  and  making  him  a  game  protec- 
tionist. For  when  we  have  once  succeeded  he  is  a 
game  protectionist  forever  after  and  will  not  violate 
the  law.  Therefore  we  believe  that  educating  the 
pople  as  to  the  value  of  the  game  and  the  necessity 
for  its  protection  is  the  very  best  way  to  secure  the 
enforcement  of  the  laws.  For  that  reason  we  are  en- 
deavoring to  plant  local  associations  in  all  parts  of  the 
State.  We  have  them  in  a  great  many  counties  now. 
In  some,  of  course,  they  are  not  as  active  as  in  others, 
but  in  some  they  are  so  active  that  a  violation  of  the 
law  in  that  county  is  a  rare  thing,  which  has  been 
brought  about  by  the  moral  influence  of  the  members. 

Tou  in  Marysville  can  do  the  same.  As  your  Mayor 
has  stated,  and  which  I  know  personally  to  be  a  facw, 
you  have  in  your  county  and  the  county  adjacent 
some  of  the  finest  hunting  grounds  in  the  State.  If 
I  should  tell  you  the  number  of  pounds  of  game  the 
people  of  this  city  consume  every  year  it  would  as- 
tonish you;  and,  as  I  said  before,  by  consuming  that 
you  have  that  much  more  of  other  products  to  ex- 
port; therefore,  it  is  of  value  to  you.  The  hunting 
affords  pleasure  to  the  hunters,  but  they  pay  well  for 
that  pleasure,  and  the  money  they  spend  in  its  pur- 
suit circulates  through  all  the  avenues  of  business. 
If  you  will  think  the  matter  over  you  will  soon  realize 
that  the  game  is  one  of  the  resources  of  your  county; 
that  it  brings  people  here  from  abroad.  They  probably 
come  first  just  to  have  a  little  hunt;  they  come  again, 
and  the  first  thing  you  know  you  have  made  a  per- 
manent citizen  of  the  one  who  visited  you  a  few  times 
on  account  of  your  game.  Some  of  the  most  prom- 
inent citizens  now  in  the  State  originally  came  to  Cali- 
fornia simply  for  the  purpose  of  having  a  little  shoot- 
ing in  the  winter.  They  came  once  or  twice  and  the 
next  time  they  brought  their  families  and  their  pos- 
sessions and  became    permanent   residents. 

Many  of  them  are  men  of  wealth.  I  can  call  your 
attention  to  one  in  particular,  whom  you  probably 
know  well.  That  is  Mr.  Simpson  of  the  city  of  Lo? 
Angeles,  who  first  came  just  for  a  little  shooting  and 
to  spend  the  winter.  He  liked  the  country  the  first 
year  and  came  back  a  second.  The  third  year  he  was 
a  citizen  of  Los  Angeles  and  to-day  owns  two  or  three 
of  the  finest  blocks  in  that  city,  where  he  is  a  man  of 
prominence.  A  brother  of  his  went  to  Seattle  for  the 
same  reason  and  has  now  become  one  of  the  leading 
citizens  there.  And  so  it  is  all  over  the  Coast.  There- 
fore, it  behooves  you,  if  you  have  good  hunting 
grounds  in  your  county,  to  try  and  preserve  the  game, 
it  will  put  money  in  your  pockets.  Probably 
ry  duck  killed  in  this  county  by  men  who  hunt 
tsure  $2  is  spent,  which  goes  into  the  pockets 
of   your  business   and    working  men.     It   is   said   that 


President  Roosevelt,  when  passing  one  day  through 
a  market  in  New  York,  noticing  a  deer  hanging  there, 
remarked:  'It  is  possible  that  carcass  is  worth  $20- 
in  this  market,  but  if  that  deer  was  running  wild  in- 
the  Adirondacks  it  would  be  worth  to  the  whole  people 
of  the  State  of  New  York  not  less  than  $500."  And  so; 
it  is  with  every  deer  killed,  in  the  State  of  California. 
I  venture  to  say  that  for  each  one  not  less  than  $250 
is  expended.  Then  are  they  not  valuable  to  you.  if 
the  means  of  putting  that  much  money  in  circula- 
tion? 

With  the  good  hunting  grounds  you  have  around 
you  here,  with  opportunities  you  have  to  maintain 
them,  if  you  of  Marysville  will  take  hold  of  it  as  you' 
should  you  will  go  to  work  right  now,  not  wait  but 
now  organize  yourselves  as  a  Game  and  Fish  Pro- 
tective Association,  have  deputy  wardens  appointed 
all  over  the  county,  men  you  can  trust,  men  who  will 
perform  their  duties,  and  whenever  you  know  of  a 
violation  of  the  law  see  that  the  violation  is  prose- 
cuted and  the  violator  properly  punished.  That  is  the 
way  to  protect  your  game,  and  the  only  way.  Since 
I  have  been  here  I  have  been  told  that  a  few  days 
ago  two  Japanese  were  arrested  for  a  violation  of 
ih  salmon  law;  that  they  were  tried,  and  your  juries 
turned  them  loose,  though  the  evidence  was  abso- 
lutely positive  that  they  were  guilty.  Is  that  right? 
It  is  simply  offering  a  bribe  to  some  one  else  to  do 
the  same  thing.  You  should  so  teach  your  citizens 
■  that  every  one  of  them  when  placed  on  a  jury  to  try 
a  case  of  violation  of  the  game  law  will  be  as  ready 
to  punish  the  violator  as  he  would  be  if  the  man  had 
been  arrested  for  breaking  into  a  house,  for  in  onei 
sense  of  the  word  he  has  committed  larceny  just  the 
same,  for  he  has  stolen  that  which  belonged  to  thej 
people  and  which  he  had  no  right  to  take.  Why- 
then  should  not  he  be  punished  for  it?  But  if  you 
let  him  go  some  one  else  will  do  the  same  thing; 
will  say  'This  man  was  arrested  for  violation  of  the! 
salmon  law,  but  they  could  not  get  a  jury  to  convict' 
him,  and  they  cannot  convict  me,  so  I  will  go  and  do 
as   I  please.' 

You  should  get  together  and  determine  that  the 
law  shall  be  enforced  in  the  county  and  that  the  game 
shall  be  protected  not  only  because  of  its  value  to 
you,  but  to  future  generations.  I  do  not  think  any 
of  you  would  want  the  next  generation  to  say  of 
you,  "My  father  was  so  selfish  that  during  his  day 
he  killed  off  all  the  game  there  was  and  left  none  for 
me.  his  son." 

The  game  is  of  great  value  in  many  ways  that  I 
have  not  attempted  to  mention  tonight.  At  our  meet- 
ing at  Visalia  I  touched  on  it  more  extensively  in 
showing  how  widely  it  ramified  the  whole  business 
of  the  Lrnion,  because  of  the  amount  of  raw  material 
that  had  to  be  produced  and  because  of  the  manu- 
facture of  implements  and  ammunition,  used  by  the 
sportsman  from  that  raw  material,  necessitating  the 
employment  of  not  only  skilled  but  unskilled  labor 
to  a  large  extent.  In  addition  to  that,  there  are  many 
thousands  employed  in  the  transportation  of  the  ma-1 
terial  and  the  finished  product  and  in  the  shops  re- 
tailing the  same. 

So  I  say.  gentlemen,  take  hold  of  this  matter  ser- 
iously. Think  of  it  seriously  while  it  is  time.  Do 
noftfcit  down  and  wait  for  some  one  else  to  commence. 
until  all  the  game  of  your  county  is  swept  away. 
Compel  those  who  are  not  willing  to  live  up  to  the 
law  to  live  up  to  it.  Persuade  them  if  you  can;  If 
>-ou  cannot,  prosecute  them.  I  always  believe  in  per- 
suading a  man  first,  but  if  I  cannot  persuade  him  I 
am  ready  to  knock  him  down.  I  am  confident  that 
most  men,  if  they  see  that  the  sentiment  of  the  com- 
munity is  against  the  violation  of  the=e  laws,  will 
cease  violating  them  because  of  the  moral  force  ot 
that  sentiment.  But  if  they  do  not  it  is  your  duty  as 
good  citizens  to  see  that  the  laws  are  enforced. 

State  Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  W.  R.  Welch  read 
an  interesting  paper  on  "The  Qualifications  of  a  Game 
Warden."  From  which  is  quoted  the  following  ex- 
cerpts: 

Recent  years  have  witnessed  a  change  of  sentiment 
in  regard  to  game  and  fish  laws  as  they  become  bet- 
ter and  more  fully  understood  by  the  people  in  gen- 
eral. The  idea  formerly  so  prevalent  that  all  the 
game  and  fish  belong  absolutely  to  the  person  on 
whose  land  it  was  found,  or  to  the  person  who  re- 
duced it  to  possession,  is  fast  giving  way  to  the  prin- 
ciple that  it  belongs  to  the  State,  and  may  be  cap- 
tured and  held  in  possession  only  under  such  condi- 
tions and  restrictions  as  the  State  may  provide  byJ 
law. 

In  the  absence  of  any  statistics  it  is  difficult  to  say 
just  how  many  persons  hunt  and  fish  in  this  State 
each  year,  but  I  feel  safe  in  saying  that  there  are 
not  less  than  50.000  persons  who  either  fish  or  hunt 
each  year  in  California.  Several  States  require  both 
residents  and  non-residents  to  secure  a  license  be- 
fore either  fishing  or  hunting.  The  returns  for  1903 
show  that  in  ten  States,  which  have  such  a  system, 
viz..  Colorado.  Idaho,  Illinois,  Michigan.  Minnesota, 
Nebraska,  North  Dakota,  Washington,  Wisconsin  and-l 
Wyoming,  the  total  number  of  licensed  hunters  was 
261241.  The  largest  numbers  in  any  of  these  States 
was  7S.S23  in  Wisconsin  euld  92.250  in  Illinois,  and; 
the  average  in  all  was  26.124. 

The  destruction  to  game  and  fish,  song  birds  and 
forests  which  an  army  of  50,000  hunters  roaming  at 
will  over  the  State  might  bring  about  is  beyond  com- 
putation. In  tile  absence  of  game  and  fish  laws  these 
persons  would  be  free  to  hunt  and  fish  in  every  month 
of  the  year,  to  shoot  throughout  the  breeding  season, 
to  kill  song  and  insect  eating  birds  for  food  and  sport, 
break  up  nests  and  destroy  eggs,  and  to  destroy  our 
valuable  supply  of  both  game  and  fish  to  the  point  of 
utter  extermination.  The  object  of  game  and  fish 
laws  has  been  lo  prohibit  indiscriminate  hunting  and 
fishing,  to  limit  the  bag  and  catch,  to  regulate  the 
close    seasons   to    conform    with    the    laws    of   nature,

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

;  e  last  session  of  the  State  Legislature,  mentioning 
■  cidentally  the  able  assitance  given  by  Hon.  Charles 
.  Shortridge. 

A  memorial  resolution  to  the  late  Hon.  Thomas  J. 
>  terwood  was  read  and  adopted.  The  press  was 
membered  in  a  resolution  xpressing  the  apprecia-

rthering  the  cause  of  fish  and  game  protection. 
The  next  convention  of  the  association  will  meet 
Monterey  Friday,  November  9th,  1906.  Invita-

turday  night.  They  enjoyed  a  delicious  duck  stew 
it  evening  and  spent  some  very  cheerful  hours  in 
5  comfortable  club  house.  Sunday  morning  a  duck 
oot  was  indulged  in.  Birds  were  not  overly  plenti- 
,  but  enough  were  bagged,  however,  so  that  each 
the  guests  took  home  a  small  string  of  ducks,

Young    California    Quail. 

The  food  of  the  young  birds  (California  quail — 
lophortyx  californicus  and  1.  c.  vallicola,  the  valley 
quail)  differs  from  that  of  the  parents,  as  has  already 
been  remarked  of  the  bobwhite,  but  the  difference  is 
less  marked  with  the  California  quail.  Stomachs  of 
thirty-two  young  of  the  western  birds,  from  one- 
fourth  to  one-half  full  grown,  have  been  examined. 
They  were  collected  from  the  middle  of  July  to  the 
middle  of  September.  The  food  was  composed  of  3.4 
per  cent  animal  matter  and  96. G  per  cent  of  vege- 
table matter.  Thirty-nine  adult  birds  shot  in  the 
same  period  had  eaten  almost  entirely  vegetable 
food,  since  only  0.6  per  cent  of  animal  food  appeared 
in  analysis.  Had  the  young  birds  been  collected  when 
newly  hatched,  undoubtedly  a  larger  per  cent  of  in- 
sect food  would  have  been  found  The  3.4  per  cent 
of  insect  food  mentioned  consisted  of  beetles,  0.1  per 
cent  bugs,  0.2  per  cent;  grasshoppers,  1.3  per  cent, 
and  ants  l.S  per  cent.  The  vegetable  food  of  the 
young  is  much  like  that  of  the  adult.  In  this  case  it 
consisted  of  ieguminous  seeds,  18.1  per  cent;  alfilaria 
seeds,  IS. 5  per  cent;  miscellaneous  seeds,  54.4  per 
cent;  browse.  6.6  per  cent:  grain.  0.6  per  cent,  and 
miscellaneous  vegetable  matter,  0  4  per  cent. 
Mearns   Quail. 

The  pervading  colors  of  the  male  Mearns  quail 
(Cyrtonyx  montezumae  mearnsi)  are  black,  white  and 
chestnut.  Its  thick  speckles  of  white  and  its  peculiar 
shape  suggest  a  miniature  guinea  hen.  The  species 
is  found  on  the  table  lands  of  Mexico  from  the  City 
of  Mexico  north  to  western  Texas,  New  Mexico  and 
Arizona,  but  the  bird,  considered  here,  is  limited  to 
the  northern  part  of  this  range.  The  typical  Messena 
quail  (Cyrtonyx  montezumae)  is  a  bird  of  the  moun- 
tains about  the  Mexican  table-land,  and  gives  way 
to  the  paler  Mearns  quail  (C.  m.  mearnsi)  in  north- 
ern Mexico  and  the  southwestern  United  States. 

It  is  a  confiding  bird  and  either  from  excess  of 
curiosity  or  from  stupidity  has  been  known  to  remain 
on  the  ground  to  be  killed  by  a  stick.  From  this 
lack  of  suspicion  it  has  received  the  name  "fool  quail." 
It  affords  the  sportsman  with  a  dog  much  better 
shooting  than  its  more  erratic  crested  relatives.  Grassy 
or  bushy  cover  is  more  necessary  to  this  bird  than 
to  the  scaled  quail  cir  Gambel  quail.  LTnlike  the  latter 
species,  it  does  not  pack,  though  it  is  more  or  less 
migratory.  Its  nesting  habits  are  not  w-ell  known. 
Bendire  describes  a  nest  found  in  Kinney  county. 
Texas,  June  22,  1890.  It  was  placed  in  a  depression  of 
the  ground  and  contained  ten  eggs. 
Food    Habits. 

The  food  habits  of  the  Mearns  quail  are  not  well 
known.  The  Biological  Survey  has  examined  the  con- 
tents of  nine  crops  and  stomachs,  secured  in  Texas 
and  New  Mexico  during  August  and  November.  Two 
of  the  birds  were  killed  in  a  patch  of  cactus.  They 
contained  seeds  and  spines  from  the  prickly  pear, 
acacia,  and  other  seeds,  grass  blade,  and  a  trace  of 
insects — weevils  and  other  beetles — besides  a  large 
quantity  of  coarse  sand  and  iron  ore.  The  other 
seven  birds  were  shot  in  August.  Two  had  their 
crops  filled  with  the  bulbs  of  a  lily.  The  others  also 
had  eaten  lily  bulbs,  which  in  the  five  birds  made 
three-fourths  of  the  food.  The  other  food  was  prickly- 
pear  fruit,  seeds  of  legumes  and  spurges,  and  such 
insects  as  weevils,  smooth  caterpillars,  hairy  cater- 
pillars, bugs,  crickets  and  grasshoppers.  Cassin  states 
that  the  contents  of  the  crop  of  a  specimen  sent  him 
from  Texas  by  Captain  French  "consisted  exclusively 
of  fragments  of  insects,  pronounced  by  Doctor  Leconte 
to  be  principally  grasshoppers  and  a  specimen  of 
Spectrum."  (Illustration  of  Birds  of  California,  Texas, 
etc.,  p.  25,  1856.)  According  to  Baird.  Brewer,  and 
Ridgway,  the  Mearns  quail  appeared  quite  at  home  in 
cultivated  fields  and  stubble  of  the  ranches.  (Hist. 
N.  Am.  Birds,  III.  p.  492.  1S74.)  Away  from  ceviliza- 
tion  it  prefers  districts  covered  with  open  forest,  with 
alternate  areas  of  grass  and  scattered  bushy  under- 
growth, or  hillsides  covered  with  grass  and  bushes. 
Its  habits  vary  considerably  with  the  locality.  Ben- 
dire  records  that  the  species  lives  in  rocky  ravines 
and  arrovos,  but  quickly  adapts  itself  to  ranch  con- 
ditions and  may  be  seen  running  about  to  gather 
kernels  of  scattered  grain.  He  says  also  that  it  is 
fond  of  acorns,  mountain  laurel,  arbutus,  cedar,  and 
other  berries,  and  notes  that  its  large,  strong  feet 
are  well  suited  to  unearthing  the  bulbs  on  which  it 
feeds.  He  found  holes  two  inches  deep  which  it  had 
dug  for  this  purpose.  These  quail  often  come  out  into 
mountain  roads  to  search  for  scattered  grain  and  to 
dust  themselves.  As  they  are  readily  tamed,  they 
could  doubtless  be  successfully  introduced  into  other 
regions 
Masked    Bobwhite. 

The  masked  bobwhite  (Colinus  ridgwayi)  is  slightly 
smaller  than  the  bobwhite  of  the  Eastern  States,  and 
the  male  differs  strikingly,  having  the  chin,  throat, 
and  sides  of  the  head  black,  and  the  underside  of  the 
body  usually  uniform  rusty  reddish.  Since  the  dis- 
covery of  the  bird  little  has  been  added  to  our  knowl- 
edge of  its  life  history  beyond  some  notes  on  its  dis- 
tribution, and  the  fact  of  its  probable  extinction 
within  our  borders.  It  lived  on  grassy  plains  cover- 
ing a  limited  area  in  southern  Arizona,  south  and 
southwest  of  Tucson,  and  ranged  into  northern  So- 
iiora.  Mexico.  In  regard  to  the  causes  leading  to  the 
disappearance  of  the  masked  bobwhite,  Herberl 
Brown  writes  as  follows: 

The    causes    leading    to    the    exterminati f    the 

Vrizona  masked  bobwhite  (Colinus  ridgwayi)  an    i 

to  the  overstocking  of  the  country  with   rain.,  sup 
plemented  by  several  rainless  years.     This  combina- 
tion  practically  stripped  the  country  bare  of  v< 
,,,,„.     of  their  range  the  Colinus  occupied   only  eer- 


;;"h    restr.cted    portions,    and    when    their    t and 

shelter   had    been    trodden   oul    of  existence   bj    u- 

sands  of  hunger-dying  stock,  there  was  nothing  lefl 
for  poor  little  lx.bwhite  to  do  hut  go  out  with  them 
As  the  conditions  in  Sonofa  were  similar  to  those 
m  Arizona,  birds  and  cattle  suffered  in  common.  The 
Arizona  bobwhite  would  have  thriven  well  in  an 
agricultural  country,  in  brushy  lance  corners,  tan- 
gled thickets,  and  weed-covered  fields,  but  such  things 
were  not  to  be  had  in  their  habitat.  Unless  a  few  can 
still  be  found  on  the  Upper  Santa  Cruz  we  can,  in 
truth,  bid  them  a  final  good-by.  (Auk..  XXI  ,.  213 
April,    1904.) 

Recent  information  received  by  the  Biological  Sur- 
vey from  Sonora  is  to  the  effect  that  these  interesting 
birds  still  survive  in  parts  of  that  region,  and  efforts 
are  being  made  by  a  game  association  to  obtain  liv- 
ing birds  from  there  to  introduce  into  California. 
The  natural  home  of  the  masked  bobwhite.  in  the  hot 
and  arid  desert  of  southern  Arizona  and .  northern 
Sonora.  is  sufficient  guaranty  that  the  birds  would 
thrive  in  cultivated  sections  anywhere  in  southern 
California  and  the  arid  Southwest.  It  would  be  de- 
plorable if  so  handsome  and  useful  a  bird  should  be 
allowed  to  become  extinct,  and  a  determined  effort 
should  be  made  to  introduce  it  into  suitable  localities 
before  it  is  too  late. 

Beyond  what  Herbert  Brown  has  stated  we  have 
practically  nothing  on  this  bird's  habits.  He  has 
told  us  that,  like  all  the  birds  of  the  genus  Colinus. 
the  males  give  the  well-known  "bobwhite"  call,  and 
he  translates  their  rallying  note  as  "hoo-we."  He 
examined  the  stomachs  of  three  birds.  The  first 
contained  mustard  seed,  chaparral  berries,  six  or  eight 
beetles,  and  other  insects;  the  second  only  a 
single  grasshopper  an  inch  long,  and  the  third  con- 
tained twenty  ants,  several  crescent-shaped  seeds, 
and  a  large  number  of  small,  fleshy  green  leaves. 

It  is  stated  by  Bendire  that  in  Sonora  Benson  found 
these  birds  only  in  fields  where  wheat  and  barley  had 
been  grown.  Probably  then  the  bird's  general  habits 
may  be  safely  assumed  to  be  similar  to  those  .if  its 
relative,  bobwhite 


THE    PROBLEM    OF   SCENT. 


We  all  know  by  experience  that  under  certain  con- 
ditions of  weather  there  will  probably  be  a  scent, 
and  on  a  hunting  morning  we  all  like  to  air  our 
views  and  to  make  forecasts  as  to  the  scenting  quali- 
ties of  the  day;  but,  as  a  rule,  we  are  only  able  to 
give  vague  guesses,  and  having  no  basis  to  go  upon 
except  similar  instances  which  may  occur  to  our 
mind-,  our  prophesies  are  frequently  unfulfilled.  There 
can  be  no  doubt,  however,  that  there  must  be  work- 
ing rules  for  scent,  as  there  are  for  all  other  natural 
phenomena,  writes  a  contributor  to  the  London  Field. 
Many  scientific  facts  have  been  known  for  centuries, 
but  modern  progress  only  dates  from  the  time  when, 
by  presuming  a  rule  from  certain  known  facts,  scien- 
tists were  able  to  forecast  other  results,  and  so  have 
a  guide  to  their  experiments.  It  would  be  far  beyond 
my  power  to  attempt  to  deduce  any  working  formula 
for  scent,  but  I  shall  endeavor  to  show  that  the  prob- 
lems which  present  themselves  on  all  sides  when  we 
consider  them  are  not  so  abstruse  as  they  are  com- 
monly supposed.  I  shall  first  state  certain  facts 
which  have  been  established  by  scientists,  and  then 
we  shall  see  how  far  these  facts  help  us  to  account 
for  some  of  the  vagaries  of  our  subject. 

Scent  itself  consists  of  extremely  minute  particles 
given  off  from  the  whole  of  the  body,  which,  although 
much  too  small  to  be  perceived  by  either  the  organs 
of  taste  or  touch,  are  readily  appreciated  by  the  organ 
of  smell.  It  has  not  yet  been  decided  whether  the 
sense  of  smell  depends  in  the  first  instance  on  a 
chemical  or  on  a  physical  process.  Ramsay  has  a 
theory  that  the  sense  of  smell  is  excited  by  vibrations 
of  a  lower  period  than  those  which  give  rise  to  the 
sense  of  light  and  heat.  It  is,  however,  necessary 
that  the  air  containing  the  odor  be  forcibly  driven 
against  the  membrane,  and  that  the  membrane  itself 
be  moist;  if  it  is  dry.  or  too  wet,  or  covered  with  too 
thick  a  layer  of  mucus  the  sense  is  much  weakened. 
The  latter  fact  we  have  all  experienced  when  we  have 
had  colds  in  the  head.  Any  irritation,  such  as  pro- 
duced by  dust  or  severe  cold,  will  cause  excess  of 
mucus 

We  will  now  consider  the  conditions  which  affect 
the  amount  of  scent  or  particles  given  off  by  a  hunted 
animal.  This  amount  depends  on  the  size,  nature  and 
bodily  condition  of  the  animal,  and  is  an  important 
consideration,  as  the  greater  the  number  Lit'  particles, 
the  more  powerful  is  their  effect  on  the  nose  of  tin- 
hound.  It  is  obvious  that  the  larger  the  animal  the 
greater  will  be  the  number  of  particles  given  off; 
thus  a  deer  has  a  stronger  scent  than  a  fox.  On  il" 
oilier  hand,  the  scent  of  certain  smaller  animals 
appears  to  be  more  powerful,  though  no  doubt  less 
in  quantity.  A  careful  observer  of  nature  has  placed 
this  animals  in  order  of  strength  of  scent   as   follows: 

1.  otter;   2.  martin:  .".  pol at:    t.  deer;   ."..  fox;  i:,  hare. 

The  constitutional  condition  of  tin-  animal  also  affects 
its  scent-giving  capabilities,  but  we  have  little  knowl- 
edge on  the  subject,  beyond   that   Hie   temperature  of 

111-'  body  appears  In  exercise  some  i  n  tl  Heme.  Thus 
a  setting  bird,  which  is  more  or  less  in  a  state  if 
fever,  has  very  little  scent,  excepi  tmmedlatels  b  fori 
hatching,  when  the-  fever  subsides;  similarly  with  a 
beaten  fox,  which  is  also  in  a  feverish  eon, lit  ion.  the 
scent  fails.  The  pare  at  which  an  animal  is  going 
probably  Influences  the  seem.     ipparentlj    when  in  a 

si. lie  i.t  reposi    ..i'   in  very  slow   motl here  is  tint 

inn.-  discharge  of  effluvia   from   tie-   body;    but   with 
Increase  of  action   there  is  ais<>  an   Increase  <.t'  scent.

vers  which  hunted  animals,  guided  by  their  instinct. 
te,  we  should  learn  some  curious  facts  in  physi- 

ow  come  to  the  forces  which  act  on  the  parti- 
r  they  have  left  the  hunted  animal.    In  order 
e  should  be  a  scent  it  is  necessary  that  they 
,uld   not   LL  before    the    pursuer   arrives, 

so  that  there  should  he  moisture  to  damp  his 
olfacturv    nerves.     Here    we    have    conflicting    condi- 
id  are  confronted  by  the  main  difficulty  which 
Uy    estimating   the    scenting 
Qualities  of  a  particular  day.     Unless  the  panicles  are 
•  down  bv  a  heavy  atmosphere  they  have  a  tend- 
;  ise  above  the  level  of  a  hound's  nose,  as  how 
can   smell  a  fox  oneself  when  hounds  are 
able  to  make  anything  of  it.     Xow  a  heavy  atmo- 
sphere means  a  dry  one.  i.  e..  a  high  barometer,  but 
at   the    same    time    moisture    is    essential,    and    so    to 
have    a    good    scent    these    two    conditions    must    be 
onciled.    Perhaps  the  best  example  of  a  favorable 
condition  is  when  the  glass  jumps  up  suddenly  after 
I    weather,    which    in    winter    usually    results    m    a 
sharp  frost. 

*   well   borne  out  by  the  fact   that  many  of 
the  best  runs  on  record  have  been  immediately  fol- 
lowed bv  a  long  frost.     While  on  the  subject  of  the 
weather    we  must  remember  that  a  strong  wind  is  a 
deterrent    to   scent,   as    it    scatters    the    particles,    the 
eption  being  when  hounds  run  up  wind,  the  parti- 
cles   in    this    case    being   forcibly    driven    against   the 
membrane,   which   increases   the  power  of  the   scent. 
At  the  same  time,  on  a  perfectly  still  day,  there  is 
generallv  a  bad  scent,  one  with  a  gentle  breeze  being 
more  favorable.     The  temperature  of  the  atmosphere 
and   ground   must  also   be   taken   into   account;    it   is 
probably  the  best  when  they  are  much  the  same  and 
not  too 'cold.    It  is  extremely  difficult  to  arrive  at  any 
satisfactory  conclusions  when  dealing  with  so  variable 
a  subject  as  the  weather,  and,  as  will  be  seen  from 
the  above  statements,  we  have  several  necessary  con- 
ditions which  are  directly  opposed  to  each  other;    it 
is.  therefore,  very  hard  to  say  when  the  perfect  state 
is  arrived  at.    It  is  quite  certain  that  everyone  is  able 
to  cite  instances  which  appear  to  be  in  direct  con- 
tradiction to  what  I  have  written.     Sometimes  with  a 
low  barometer  and  drenching  rain  we  have  excellent 
sport,  though  in  this  sort  of  weather  there  is  seldom 
a    scent   in    covert;    again,   in    September   and   March 
hounds  often  run  hard  when  the  ground  is  as  dry  as 
a  bone:    hut   so  many  things  come  in   that  in   these 
cases    probably   the    other    conditions    are    favorable. 
Finally  there  is  the  state  and  quality  of  the  ground. 
A  wet.  heavy  country  usually  holds  a  scent,  and  this 
is  but  natural;    on  the  other  hand,  when  the  ground 
is  over-saturated  the  scent  seems  to   improve  when 
hounds   get    on    to   lighter   soil,   which    bears   out   the 
fact  that  too  much  moisture  is  undesirable.     To  sum 
up,  for  a   probability   of  sport  we   should  look  for  a 
high  barometer,  a  fair  amount  of  misture,  and  a  gen- 
tle breeze. 


Klamath  Country  Will  Be  Opened. 

Sportsmen  will  be  pleased  to  learn  that  work  on 
the  new  railroad  from  McCloud  to  Laird  Landing  on 
Klamath  Lake  is  progressing  rapidly  and  by  next 
spring  it  is  anticipated  through  trains  will  be  run- 
ning. The  road  is  being  constructed  by  the  McCloud 
River  Lumber  Company  and  will  open  up,  to  city 
sportsmen,  practically  a  virgin  territory.  The  roadbed 
is  now  graded  for  twenty-five  miles  beyond  Bartle. 
or  near  Laird  Landing  on  Klamath  Lake  The  gading 
gangs  now  number  300  men.  Track-layers  will  be  set 
at  work  at  once  laying  steel  rails  on  the  twenty-five- 
mile  gap  between  Bartle  and  Klamath  Lake,  the  grad- 
ing gangs  continuing  their  work  toward  Klamath 
Falls. 

The  distance  from  Upton,  the  present  junction  point 
on  the  Southern  Pacific,  to  Klamath  Falls,  is  a  trifle 
over  eighty  miles,  according  to  the  raliroad  surveys. 
The  McCloud  Railroad  is  now  completed  thirty  miles 
beyond  the  town  of  McCloud  and  the  roadbed  graded 
twenty-five  miles  farther.  The  present  termius  is  two 
miles  east  of  Bartle  Station  and  thirty  miles  beyond 
McCloua. 


GOSSIP  FOR  SPORTSMEN. 


Lost  on    Lake  Tahoe. 

Duck  hunters  have  been  lost  on  San  Francisco  and 
San  Pablo  bays  in  bad  weather  many  a  time,  but  the 
plight  of  two  sportsmen  on  Lake  Tahoe  one  day  last 
month  is  a  new  one  in  the  line  of  hunting  mishaps. 

In  the  middle  of  Lake  Tahoe,  surrounded  by  a 
heavy  fog,  lost,  not  knowing  north  from  south,  and 
night  approaching,  is  the  position  that  Dr.  George 
P.  Kelley  and  H.  W.  Wilmoth  were  in  while  hunting 
for  ducks  on  the  lake  Thursday  afternoon,  November 
17th.  About  noon  a  heavy  fog  came  up  and  not  giving 
the  matter  much  consideration  the  hunters  kept  up 
their  search  for  the  water  fowl.  They  did  not  realize 
their  danger  until  they  observed  that  night  was  near 
and  the  fog  was  dense  and  the  direction  to  the  nearest 
shore  resolved  itself  into  quite  a  puzzle.  They  were 
out  in  a  launch. 

For  a  while  they  were  completely  lost  and  unable 
to  get  their  bearings.  Finally,  just  after  dark,  a 
lift  in  the  fog  showed  where  there  was  a  light  on  the 
shore  and  in  due  course  the  launch  made  the 
beach,  from  which  point  the  lost  hunters  were  en- 
abled  to  reach  Tallac. 

They  returned  to  Truckee  Friday  morning  none  the 
worse  for  the  adventure  and  with  a  good  string  of 
ducks. 


Northern    Duck    Hunting. 

tile  report  descriptive  of  duck  shooting  condi- 
tions near  there  last  week  states: 

It  has  been  a  bad  week  for  ducks,  and  poorer  still 
for  geese.  Few.  if  any,  limit  bags  have  been  re- 
ported, despite  that  there  were  at  least  three  days 
when  the  shooting  should  have  been  good. 

The  Mecca  of  nearly  all  the  duckmen  was  the 
northern  flats.  The  Skagit  and  all  of  the  La  Conner 
country  have  been  teeming  with  mallard  and  sprig, 
but  they  are  of  the  first  flight,  and  as  wise  as  a  lot 
of  pickpockets  They  know  a  blind  when  they  see 
one,  and  have  grown  so  wary  that  they  will  not  even 
lly  over  a  stump,  to  say  nothing  of  swimming  with- 
in range  of  one. 

It  has  been  the  same  way  on  the  Nisqually  flats,  at 

bay    and    on    all    the    other    ducking   grounds 

around    the   Sound,    and    the    experts    have   made    up 

their  minds  that  the  best  ihincr  to  do  is  to  be  patient 

until  the  Alaska  ducks  come  down. 

The  annual  flight  of  the  Alaska  birds  is  known 
as  the  "second  flight,"  and  it  always  assures  good 
shooting.  The  birds  are  fresh  from  the  Northern 
grounds,  and  do  not  know  i  lie  sound  of  a  gun  when 
they  hear  it.  so  that  good  kills  can  be  counted  on.  As 
1  thing,  the  second  flight  has  begun  before 
this  time,  but  for  one  reason  or  another  this  year 
It  Is  quite  late. 


On   the   Paper   Mill. 

Steelhead  angling  in  the  tidewaters  of  the  Paper 
Mill,  near  Point  Reyes  station  has  not  been  produc- 
tive of  many  fish  since  the  recent  rains.  A  number 
of  quinnat  salmon  have  been  taken,  however,  by 
diereffnt  anglers.  Last  Saturday,  Jas.  Watt  of  this 
city  hooked  a  thirty-two  pound  salmon  and  after 
playing  the  fish  for  forty  minutes  landed  it. 

A  number  of  salmon  have  been  caught  recently  in 
the  pools  of  the  marsh  sloughs  near  Point  Reyes.  A 
fish  weighing  forty-three  pounds  was  captured  by  a 
hunter  near  Millerton   this  week. 


Santa   Clara    Notes. 

The  recent  rains  and  stormy  weather  drove  the 
ducks  in  thousands  into  the  Alviso  marshes.  Many 
of  the  birds  were  newly  arrived  northern  ducks.  As 
a  consequence  good  bags  of  canvasbacks,  mallard, 
teal  and  widgeon  fell  to  the  guns  of  the  Santa  Clara 
valley  hunters. 

Quail  are  reported  to  be  numerous  on  many  hunt- 
ing grounds  in  the  county. 

Large  flocks  of  sandhill  cranes  have  also  put  in  ap- 
pearance on  the  marsh  lands  surrounding  Alviso. 
The  sandhill  crane  is  looked  upon  by  many  as  making 
a  finer  dish  than  either  turkey  or  chicken.  One  of 
these  rare  birds  was  brought  in  by  an  old  hunter 
and  placed  on  sale  at  a  San  Jose  fish  and  game 
market,  where  it  attracted  much  attention.  Ac- 
cording to  good  authorities  the  appearance  of  the 
sandhill  crane  as  far  south  as  this  and  in  such  large 
numbers  indicates  that  firce  storms  and  cold  weather 
prevails  along  the  northern  portion  of  the  Pacific 
coast. 

Reports  from  Los  Gatos  state  that  the  foothills 
above  that  place  and  north  and  south  along  the  range 
of  hills  abound  in  large  flocks  of  wild  pigeons.  The 
snow  that  has  fallen  on  the  higher  portions  of  the 
mountain  range  have  driven  the  birds  down  lower, 
since  their  food  supply  is  only  found  where  the  coun- 
try is  open  and  the  land  is  being  prepared  for  the 
crops. 

Two  years  ago  thousands  of  these  wild  pigeons 
flocked  into  the  valley  and  did  a  great  deal  of  damage 
to  the  farmers,  devouring  the  seed  grain  as  soon  as 
it  was  sown.  The  wild  pigeon  makes  the  most  tooth- 
some of  dishes,  especially  where  they  are  grain  fed. 
They  are  speedy  flyers  and  offer  the  best  of  shooting 
to  the  nimrod. 


Big  Striped   Bass  Scarce. 

Anglers  who  have  made  it  a  practice-  to  saunter 
through  the  local  fish  markets  for  a  year  or  two  past 
are  unanimous  in  declaring  that  the  shrinkage  in  the 
supply  of  striped  bass  is  evident  more  and  more 
every  day.  Time  was  when  fish  of  over  25  or  35 
pounds'  weight  were  plentiful;  now  they  are  scarce 
as  hen*s  teeth  and  have  been  so  for  some  time  past. 
This  is  regarded  as  a  strong  indication  that  the  in- 
cessant netting  of  the  fish,  every  day  in  the  year, 
despite  the  statutory  prohibition  of  netting  fish  on 
Saturdays  and  Sundays,  is  bearing  the  fruits  of  ra- 
pacity and  indifference  to  the  future  supply.  The 
present  condition  was  prophesied  several  years  ago 
by  men  of  observation  and  experience,  but  the  warn- 
ings were  laughed  at  or  ignored. 

No  water  in  the  world,  nor  any  variety  of  fish,  how- 
ever prolific,  can  stand  the  draft  that  is  made  on  the 
striped  bass  supply.  The  decrease  from  now-  on  will 
not  be  gradual  but  will  go  on  at  an  increased  ratio 
The  remedy  suggested  for  the  preservation  of  the 
bass,  is  a  close  season  of  two  or  three  months. 


Local  sportsmen  have  had,  generally  speaking,  good 
sport  on  the  various  game  preserves.  The  best  shoot- 
ing has  prevailed  on  the  Suisun  marshes,  where  limit 
bags  have  been  made  by  many  hunters. 

Many  of  the  canvasbacks  and  mallards  killed  in 
the  marshes  are  found  to  be  in  poor  condition.  The 
best  conditioned  mallards  come  from  the  San  Joaquin 
and  Tolo  basin  tule  sections. 

W.  H.  Seaver  wras  a  recent  guest  of  the  Gridley 
Gun  Club.  He  shot  four  days  and  got  limit  bags 
easily  in  a  very  short  time.  The  club's  preserves  em- 
brace a  tract  of  7000  acres.  The  district  is  a  natural 
feeding  ground  for  ducks  and  geese  and  is  one  of  the 
best  hunting  grounds  in  the  state.  The  club  has  a 
membership  of  100  sportsmen  and  a  large  and  com- 
fortable club  house  for  their  accommodation.

Spawning    of   Salmon    and    Trout. 

Observation  has  shown  that  on  account  of  the 
predatory  habits  of  salmon  on  the  Pacific  Coast  only 
about  1  per  cent  of  the  spawn  comes  to  maturity 
under  the  ordinary  conditions  of  fish,  life,  whereas 
by  artificial  methods  from  95  to  98  per  cent  is  the 
result.      The    California    fish    hatchery    at    Sisson    is 


supported  for  the  special  purpose  of  keeping  up  the  1 
supply  of  salmon  and   trout  in   the   rivers   and   lakes 
of  the  State.    These  two  fish  belong  to  the  same  farrij.l 
ily,   though  there  are  many  points  of  difference  be-  I 
tween  them. 

Salmon  eggs  are  about  a  third  of  an  inch  in  diam- 
eter, the  trout  eggs  being  only  half  as  large.  The 
former  are  a  yellowish  pink,  not  unlike  the  color 
cf  the  flesh  of  salmon;  the  latter  pale  pink.  The 
artificial  method  of  securing  spawn  is  simple,  but  it 
requires  skill  and  haste.  Salmon  begin  to  spawn  at 
the  age  of  three  or  four  years,  the  time  being  about 
the  same  with  male  and  female.  Trout  begin  some- 
what earlier,  the  female  at  three  years  and  the  male 
at  two.  By  a  gentle  pressure  of  the  bodv  the  eggs 
are  forced  into  a  small  pan,  where  the  milt  of  the 
male  is  poured  over  them  and  left  for  a  very  few 
minutes,  after  which  the  eggs  are  thoroughly  washed 
and  put  into  the  hatching  baskets.  These  are  of 
woven  wire,  painted  with  asphalt  paint,  the  meshes 
.tust  small  enough  to  keep  the  eggs  from  falling  ■. 
through,  and  large  enough  that  the  worm-like  thing 
that  comes  out  of  the  egg  can  drop  into  the  trough 
underneath,  which  is  always  full  of  running  water. 
Salmon  never  eat  during  the  spawning  seas 
When  they  pass  from  salt  water  into  fresh  water 
search  of  a  nesting  place  they  are  very  fat,  having 
stored  up  a  food  supply  for  the  coming  months  of 
struggle,  for  that  is  what  the  spawning  season  al- 
ways is.  They  spend  three  or  four  months  in  fresh 
water,  exploring  and  fighting  over  the  places  they 
find.  Meanwhile,  as  they  do  not  eat,  their  alimentary 
canals  seem  to  wither  up  from  disuse;  and  when  at 
last,  the  spawning  season  is  over,  the  actual  time, 
barring  nest-hunting,  being  from  10  to  14  days,  the 
fish  are  so  exhausted  from  the  struggle,  lack  of  food 
and  the  effort  of  reproduction  that  death  is  inevit- 
able. The  life  of  a  salmon  is  spent  in  the  perpetua- 
tion of  its  kind,  but  to  the  credit  of  each  is  an  aver- 
age  of  five   thousand  eggs. 

With  trout  it  is  different.  Their  term  of  life  is 
or  twelve  years,  and  in  a  hatchery  it  is  only  ne 
sary  to  renew  the  stock  at  intervals,  introducing 
new  among  the  old. 

Salmon  eggs  require  anywhere  from  forty-five  to 
ISO  days  to  hatch,  according  to  the  temperature  of 
the  water.  For  trout  the  time  is  from  forty-five  to 
sixty  days.  The  first  sign  of  life  is  the  formation 
of  two  black  spots,  which  are  out  of  all  proportion 
to  the  tiny  egg,  and  stare  through  the  thin  white 
film  that  covers  the  pinkish  egg.  These  are  the  eyes, 
and  as  they  develop  a  thin  white  line  begins  to  form 
the  backbone  of  the  future  fish.  About  this  a  jelly- 
like substance  forms,  and  at  last  the  film  that  serves 
as  a  shell  loosens  and  through  a  mesh  of  the  basket 
this  thing  that  will  one  day  be  a  fish  drops.  It  look! 
like  a  worm  with  a  very  large  pouch  fastened  to  thf 
under  side. 

This  pouch  is  the  umbilicus  and  contains  the  yoli 
of  the  eggs,  which  is  gradually  absorbed  bv '  tht 
embryo  fish,  and  is  the  only  food  it  has  for"  fron 
fourteen  days  to  five  weeks.  When  at  last  the  bab> 
fish  has  exhausted  this  food  supply  and  bv  som't 
mysterious  means  has  mastered  the  art  of  swimming 
he  rises  from  the  bottom  of  the  trough  where  he  haj 
wriggled  all  this  time  and  is  suddenly  carried  by  thi 
(lowing  water  into  another  trough,  w-here  he  is  fe< 
four  times  a  day  with  a  mixture  of  raw  liver,  ehoppec 
very  fine,  and  sweet  curd.  Occasionally,  to  keep  the 
fish  in  condition  the  diet  is  varied  with  beef  am 
salmon,  the  latter  proving  a  welcome  change  to  thes< 
cannibal  creatures.  After  fifty  or  sixty  days  of  feed 
ing  the  fish  are  from  an  inch  and  a  half  to  two  an. 
a  half  inches  long,  and  are  big  enough  to  shift  fo 
themselves,  so  they  are  scooped  out  in  nets,  loadei 
into  big  milk  cans  and  sent  away  to  be  turned  loos' 
in  a  river  or  lake.  A  trout  is  a  trout  from  the  da-"

Wild  Animal   Skins  Scarce. 

A  noticeable  scarcity,  with  a  corresponding  inci 
in  value,  is  that  of  the  skins  of  wild  animals.  '** 
spread  of  civilization  is  the  gradual  extermination  t 
the  monarchs  of  forest  and  plain,  the  jungle  and  tn 
hills,  and  in  consequence,  the  hides  of  both  large  an 
small  wild  animals  now  are  prized  specimens  c  t 
museums    or   ornamental   features    of   the   clubhous

The  skin  of  the   lion— the   king  of  beasts — is  no  t 
among   the   most   valuable   of  the   rare    skins.     It 
kingly,   even  as  was  the  animal  himself,  and   rev 
the  great  strength  and  courage — or  supple  cunning 
of  the  mighty  form  that  it  once  encompassed.     Tr. 
skin   of  the   full   grown   lion   is  about  three  yards  i 
length  by  one  and  one-half  yards  in  width.    The 
is  neither  pretty  nor  bright,  but  for  all  that,  the 
shaggy  rrane  crowns  it,  like  a  rare  jewel,  in  a  convel 
tional    setting,    making    a    well-maned    skin    valu 
indeed. 

Much  prettier  is  the  skin  of  the  tiger  than  that 
his  feline  cousin,  the  lion.  So,  too,  does  the  tige. 
skin  show  the  character  of  the  beast  which  it  oni 
enveloped  and  protected.  Its  bearded  cheeks  rev 
the  animal's  ferocity  and  bloodthirsty  cunning,  tl 
black  and  yellow  stripes  and  the  white  belly  colo*« 
of  the  big  cat  suggest  the  stealthy  nature  of  the  fo 
mer  owner. 

The  South  American  jaguar  furnishes  a  pretty  ski 
despite  its  reddish  white  belly  and  its  spots  instet 
of  stripes.     The  leopard,  also,  has  a  pretty  pelt,  i

Eur  being  light  yellow  with  black  spots.  The  skin 
Df  the  black  panther,  a  denizen  of  the  Central  Ameri- 
:an  and  Southern  Mexican  jungles,  is  sought  for  very 
n'uch  by  collectors  and  others. 

Bear  skins  are  trophies  in  many  a  city  and  country 
:home.  The  black  and  brown  bears,  the  commoner 
ind  more  plentiful  varieties  of  the  bruin  family,  are 
the  most  frequent.  The  Polar  bear  supplies  a  beau- 
tiful, soft,  white,  furry  skin,  but  these  skins  are  very 
'rare'  The  skin  of  the  American  grizzly  (Ursus  hor- 
iribilis),  is  also  a  rarity  and  good  specimens  bring 
big  prices,  for  this  animal  is  becoming  scarcer  year 
by  year,  despite  his  ferocity,  strength  and  gameness, 
Ifor  the  high  power  repeating  rifle  is  a  handicap  over 
which  the  grizzly  can  not  prevail. 

I  Although  moose  and  deer  are  common  game  for 
Ihunters,  all  over  the  continent,  yet  it  is  a  curious  fact 
that  comparatively  few  hunters  or  sportsmen  have 
succeeded  in  preserving  their  hides  so  that  the  hair 
!will  remain  on  the  skin  for  any  great  length  of  time. 
The  American  black  wolf  skin,  with  white  spots 
Ion  its  snout  and  breast,  is  admired  by  some  people. 
The  Siberian  wolf  furnishes  a  fine,  soft  fur  skin. 
I  Among  the  farmer  boys  in  the  United  States  it  is  a 
i  popular  sport  to  catch  foxes  during  the  winter  and 
!to  tan  their  skins  for  rugs,  robes  and  other  ornamen- 
tal purposes.  The  fox  skin  is  to-day  not  by  any 
i  means  as  valuable  as  are  the  skins  of  larger  and 
-fiercer  animals,  though  the  fox,  in  many  sections,  is 
growing  more  and  more  scarce.  The  same  might  be 
said  in  regard  to  wildcats,  raccoons,  minks,  etc.,  and 

■  the  day  of  the  coyote,  save  in  some  limited  and  remote 
areas,  is  also  drawing  to  a  close. 

Among  the  present  day  valuable  skins  is  considered 
'  a  coat  made  of  the  skins"  of  reindeer  fawns,  the  pelts 
taken  from  the  fawns  when  but  a  few  days  old. 
These  skins  match  perfectly  in  color,  the  garment 
is  made  double,  so  that  the  coat  is  the  same  outside 
and  inside.  Such  a  coat  is  as  light  in  weight  as  an 
(ordinary   raincoat,   waterproof  and  far  warmer   than 

■  ordinary  fur,  and,  it  is  said,  can  not  be  purchased  for 
less  than  several  thousands  of  dollars. 

i     \mong  the  other  skins  that  are  very  valuable  may 

be'  mentioned   that    of    the    Manchurian   tiger,   these 

i  beasts  having  a  longer  fur  than  those  of  the  Indian 

i  jungles.     Skins  of  this  variety  of  tiger  are  obtained 

-fourteen   feet   in   length.      So   big   are  these  northern 

China   tigers   that   it   would   not  be  far   fetched   if  a 

hunter    remarked    that    he    had    been    "chased    by    a 

■  trainload   of   big   cats"    in   the   event   of  a  miss   and 
'  rapid  retreat  to  cover. 

A  recent  choice  specimen  noted  in  a  trade  journal 

was  the  skin  of  a  monster  grizzly,  the  animal  when 

alive  weighing  2200  pounds,  it  is  claimed.     The  robe 

I  was  fourteen  feet  long  and  the  mounted  head  portion 

[  was  tw-o  feet  thick. 

Buffalo  robes,  some  few  specimens  of  which,  taken 
good  care  of  for  years,  are  now  and  then  obtainable 
and  for  a  good  price. 

■Among  the  small  animals  whose  pelts  supply  the 
market  are  New  Zealand  rabbits.  They  are  fairly 
well  sought  for  in  this  country,  although  not  so  rare 
or" valuable  as  many  other  kinds  of  skins.

Supply  Was  Unequal  to  Demand. 

The  demand  for  Balliste  has  been  so  great  among 
Coast  sportsmen  that  the  supply  ran  out  and  the 
Coast  agents,  Baker  and  Hamilton,  had  to  fill  orders 
to  the  trade  with  one-pound  tins.  The  larger  bulk 
packages  were  sold  off  some  time  ago  in  response  to 
the  unprecedented  demand  for  Balliste  coming  from 
every   section    of   the   Coast. 

Efforts  to  procure  a  new  stock  from  the  East  were 
for  a  time  unavailing,  owing  to  a  rush  of  orders 
for   Balliste.    ■ 

Baker  &  Hamilton  announce  that  an  invoice  of 
Balliste  will  reach  this  city  about  December  10th 

Balliste  is  reliable  at  all  times  and  in  all  climates 
is  unaffected  by  heat  or  cold,  and  gives  results  in 
penetration,  velocity  and  recoil— that's  what  you 
want.  J 


Every   Sportsman    Should   Get   One. 

One  of  the  most  handsomely  gotten-up  gun  cata- 
logues we  have  seen  is  that  issued  by  The  Hunter 
Arms  Co.,  of  Fulton,  N.  T.  The  cover  is  printed  in 
colors,  the  design  showing  a  sportsman  seated  in  a 
car,  his  dog  by  his  side  and  his  gun  case,  resting

U.  M.  C.  News  Notes. 

At  Bound  Brook,  November  16,  where  20  shooters 
took  part,  first  honors  were  accorded  to  U.  M.  C. 
shells  in  the  gun  of  Mr.  Welles,  who  scored  146  out 
of  150.  Mr.  Welles  most  always  wins  the  high  aver- 
age, and  he  always  uses  U.  M.  C.  shells.  Mr.  G.  W. 
Cross  won  the  prize  gun  offered,  using  U.  M.  C. 
ammunition  and  a  Remington  shotgun. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Heer  won  another  high  average  at  the 


Peters'    Points. 

The  championship  of  Richmond,  Va.,  was  contested 
for  on  the  grounds  of  the  Richmond  Gun  Club  Oct 
28th,  and  resulted  in  a  victory  for  Dr.  B.  L.  Hiilman 
with  a  score  of  93  out  of  100.  Dr.  Hiilman,  in  account- 
ing for  his  success,  gives  a  good  share  of  the  credit 
to  the  Peters  Ideal  factory  loads  which  he  used. 

Mr.  E.  H.  Storr  won  high  professional  average  at 
the  Weldon,  N.  C,  tournament,  October  24-25,  and  Mr. 
E.  F.  Killette  high  amateur  average,  both  using  Peters 
Ideal  shells. 

The  Urbana  Ohio  Gun  Club  was  successful  in  land- 
ing both  the  team  and  individual  trophies  which  have 
been  contested  for  during  several  months  past  by  the 
gun  clubs  of  Springfield,  St.  Paris,  Urbana  and  near- 
by points.  The  final  shoot  was  held  at  St  Paris 
on  November  1st,  the  Urbana  team  winning  the  Peters 
team  cup  with  a  score  of  210.  and  Mr.  E.  W.  Holdin" 
of  Urbana  won  the  individual  trophy  with  a  score  of 
49    out   of   50. 

The  Woodward  trophy  contested  for  during  the  past 
season  by  the  members  of  the  Sandusky  Ohio  Gun 
Club  was  finally  won  by  Mr.  John  Deist,  who  thus 
establishes  his  claim  to  the  championship  of  the 
club.  Many  of  Mr.  Deist's  highest  and  most  regular 
scores  were  made  with  Peters  factory  loads. 

At  Boundbrook,  N.  J.,  November  16th,  the  New 
Jersey  Individual  State  Championship  was  won  by 
Mr.  F.  C.  Bissett,  and  the  first  and  second  amateur 
averages  for  the  day's  program  were  won  by  Messrs 
E  F.  Markley  and  J.  Pleiss,  all  using  Peters  Ideal 
factory  loaded  shells.

DAIRY   DOTS. 


It  takes  healthy  and  well-fed  cows 
to   make   the   highest   quality   of   milk. 

The  best  butter  maker  can  not  turn 
out  a  good  product  from  tainted  milk. 

The  value  of  the  cow  depends  to  a 
large  extent  on  how  the  heifer  is  cared 
for. 

Breed  the  cows  to  a  good  bull,  in 
order  to  have  a  calf  that  will  make  a 
good  cow  or  a  valuable  steer. 

Churn  at  60  degrees  in  winter  and 
never  let  the  cream  freeze  if  you  would 
make  butter   of  high   quality. 

The  dark,  badly  ventilated  stable  is 
the  one  where  disease  germs  flourish. 
Let  the  sunshine  and  air  in 

Don't  forget  about  currying  the  cow. 
This  pays  in  the  saving  of  feed  and  in 
the  cleanliness  of  the  milk  and  butter. 

The  dairy  farmer  who  undertakes  to 
do  business  on  the  eight-hour  plan  will 
soon   get   acquainted   with   the   sheriff. 

An  old  English  dairyman  once  said 
to  the  writer:  "You  can't  get  any- 
thing out  of  a  cow  that  you  have  not 
first  put  into  her."  ' 

Regular  hours  and  kind  treatment 
make  good  dairy  cowTs.  No  rough  talk- 
ing, brutal  man  should  ever  be  allowed 
near  the  cows. 

Mixed  farming  pays  better  than  anj 
specialty  crop,  and  the  mixed  farmer 
who  leaves  out  dairying  rejects  one  of 
the  most  profitable  branches  of  agri- 
culture. 

Those  who  are  so  situated  that  they 

must  make  their  butter  at  home  should 

try   to   make   an   extra   quality.      Such 

]  butter  always  finds  a  ready  market  in 

any  town. 

If  you  do  not  own  a  Babcock  tester 

'  try  keeping  the  milk  separate  and  test 

your  cows  by  the  churn.     It  is  worth 

while  to  know  how  much  each  cow  is 

doing  for  you. 

Teach  the  heifers  to  lead  while  they 
are  young  and  do  not  let  them  forget 
it  Nothing  is  more  disagreeable  to 
handle  than  a  cow  which  has  not  been 
trained  to  the  halter. 

When  we  sell  butter  only,  we  sell 
sunshine  and  water.  When  we  sell 
whole  milk,  we  sell  the  fertility  from 
our  farms.     In  a  ton  of  butter  there  is 


less  than  a  dollar's  worth  of  fertilizing 
elements. 

A  manufacturer  of  cream  separators 
told  us  that  he  had  noticed  that  cows 
which  are  out  in  the  sunshine  every 
day  make  the  yellowest  butter. 
Whether  this  is  true  or  not,  it  is  es- 
tablished that  sunshine  is  good  for 
cows. 

String  a  wire  just  under  the  ceiling 
the  whole  length  of  the  cow  stable,  just 
behind  the  cows.  On  this  put  a  run- 
ning hook  on  which  to  hang  the  lan- 
tern so  you  can  slide  it  back  and  forth. 
Then  no  cow  can  kick  it  over  and 
cause  a  fire. 

As  a  rule  a  kicking  cow  shows  that 
she  has  been  around  a  kicking  man.  If 
she  kicks  because  of  sore  teats,  she 
cannot  be  blamed,  for  it  is  her  only 
way  to  enter  a  protest.  Sore  teats 
should  not  be  allowed,  as  they  show 
careless   treatment. 


comparatively  simple  matter,  and  yet 
it  is  of  very  great  importance  to  so 
train  horses  that  they  will  normally 
move  briskly,  and  at  the  same  time 
adopt  a  slow,  steady  gait  when  the 
necessities  of  the  work  on  hand  re- 
quire it. — Wallaces'  Farmer.

GROWING  MONEY  ON  THE  HOOF. 


GAIT  OF  THE  DRAFT  HORSE. 


The  normal  gait  of  the  draft  horse 
is  a  walk.  He  was  not  made  to  trot 
or  run.  It  is  important,  however,  that 
he  acquire  when  he  is  first  broken 
the  habit  of  walking  lively  and  walk- 
ing slowly  when  a  slow  gait  is  re- 
quired. 

The  gait  is  largely  a  matter  of  in- 
heritance, and  the  draft  stallion  or 
mare  that  can  walk  briskly  should  in 
all  cases  be  preferred  to  one  that 
moves  off  as  though  it  had  all  the 
time  there  was  in  which  to  go  a  short 
distance. 

Much,  however,  depends  upon  the 
trainer.  Most  farmers  when  they 
break  colts  put  them  alongside  of  some 
steady-going  old  mare,  a  regular  "Ioi- 
termobile,"  which  may  be  all  right  to 
start  with;  but  as  soon  as  the  colt 
moves  off  himself  let  him  acquire  a 
brisk  walk,  as  though  the  time  was  too 
short  for  him  to  do  the  allotted  work. 
While  for  plowing  heavy  sod  a  slow, 
steady  gait  is  inevitable,  and  in  plow- 
ing corn  for  the  first  time  preferable, 
in  almost  every  kind  of  farm  work  a 
better  job  will  be  done  by  a  team  that 
knows  how   to   step  up  briskly. 

The   training   of   a   draft    horse   is   a 


For  a  young  farmer  just  starting  out 
to  battle  for  himself  in  the  fight  for 
money,  the  most  effective  means  to 
pursue  is  to  grow  money  on  the  hoof. 
Buy  a  few  good  bred  heifers  of  the 
breed  you  like  best  and  take  care  ol 
them.  Select  a  pedigreed  bull  and  use 
him  on  the  common  cows  already  on 
the  farm.  The  appreciated  value  of 
the  first  crop  of  calves  will  go  far 
to  pay  the  purchase  price.  Use  only  a 
high  class  individual,  even  on  scrub 
cows,  if  you  wish  to  get  the  best  re- 
sults from  such  a  cross.  The  offspring 
will  show  marked  improvements  in 
physical  characteristics.  Females  bred 
to  a  pure  blood  highly  prepotent  bull 
will  transmit  to  their  progeny  a  still 
stronger  tendency  toward  uniformity 
of  type,  which  will  neutralize  in  a  large 
measure  the  original  blood.  There 
never  was  a  better  time  for  the  far- 
mer to  begin  breeding  pure  bred  stock. 
There  is  no  safer  and  none  promises 
such  steady,   sure  returns. 


There  is  no  question  but  that  cut 
(chaffed)  fodder  of  all  kinds  is  better 
relished  and  fed  with  less  waste  than 
lone  forage.  Whether  the  saving  thus 
effected  will  compensate  for  the  at- 
tendant expense  will  usually  depend 
upon  the  market  value  of  the  hay  or 
other  material,  although  it  should  not 
be  forgotten  cut  straw,  stover  or  other 
stuff  makes  better  bedding  for  the 
stable.— Hoard's    Dairyman. 


The  eager  feeder  sometimes  over- 
feeds the  calf.  Some  claim  that  more 
calves  are  injured  by  overfeeding  than 
by  not  feeding  enough. 


Cows  may  be  successfully  kept  with- 
out any  pasture.  There  are  some  dairy 
cows  who  6o  not  graze  a  blade  of  grass 
from  one  year's  end  to  another,  and 
who  do  pretty  well,  too. 


In  handling  young  cows,  a  soft  brush 
used  upon  the  udder  will  be  found  very 
acceptable  to  them.  They  seem  to  rel- 
ish it  and  appear  anxious  for  the 
brushing  time  to  come. 


The  custom  of  letting  cows  stand 
untied  in  their  stalls  is  growing  among 
dairymen.  It  is  more  like  having  them 
in  an  open  pen  or  lot,  they  keep 
cleaner  and  are  as  easily  handled  as 
when  tied. 


It  would  be  a  strange  affair  if  a  good 
cow  were  to  result  from  a  poorly  fed, 
poorly  tamed  calf.  Tet  sometimes  it 
does  occur,  and  a  good  cow  does  come 
in  spite  of  conditions. 

Very  few  dairy  farmers  make  such  a 
poor  out  at  farming  as  to  be  anxious 
to  sell  out.  Almost  all  of  them  make 
it  pay. 


Most  farmers  should  not  depend 
upon  the  mills  for  their  cow  feed. 
They  should  grow  so  much  corn,  al- 
falfa, cowpeas,  sorghum,  soy  beans, 
peanuts  and  hay  that  they  will  not 
need  much  besides  what  they  raise. 


Dry  cows  should  not  be  fed  as  lib- 
erally as  those  in  milk,  though  they 
should  not  be  left  to  rustle  for  them- 
selves. 


The  best  way.  or  at  least  one  of  the 
best  ways,  to  keep  young  cows  from 
learning  to  kick  is  to  handle  them  very 
gently  at  first.  Tench  them  to  be 
handled,  and  that  they  will  not  be 
hurt. 


Bran  is  being  adulterated  with  rice 
hulls.  Careful  feeders  examine  the 
feed  with  a  microscope  for  adultera- 
tions. 


A  writer  claims  that  there  are  very 
lYw  "dead-beat"  cows,  and  that  their 
unprofitableness  is  owing  to  their  man- 
agement.

much  stress  cannot  be  laid  on 
these  points.  Every  time  you  meet 
your  hogs  and  they  hear  your  voice 
they  should  greet  you  with  a  grunt, 
un  the  other  hand,  if  they  do  not 
seem  to  enjoy  your  company,  but  show 
the  whites  of  their  eyes,  they  are  not 
the  most  profitable  kind  of  hog  to 
keep  and  the  sooner  a  man  gets  rid  of 
such  pigs  the  better  it  will  be  for  his 
i  book.  Kind  disposition,  and 
good  constitution  means  great  feeding 
capacity  with  wonderful  assimilating 
powers — the  only  proper  foundation  to 
build  upon. 

Having  pigs  of  the  above  description 
to  begin  with,  plenty  of  soaked  corn 
and  ground  wheat  and*  judicious  feed- 
ing, they  will  weigh  one  pound  for 
every  day  they  are  old.  If  you  only 
have  a  few  you  can  make  them  do 
better.  In  addition  to  the  above  ra- 
tion they  must  have  dry  quarters  to 
sleep  in.  This  does  not  necessarily 
mean  a  mansion,  but  it  must  be  con- 
structed so  as  to  be  dry  all  the  time. 
Damp  sleeping  places  are  fatal  to  all 
kinds  of  young  stock.  With  the  pig.

vermin.  Have  a  good  sized  grass  lot 
to  run  in.  They  must  be  provided 
with  green  food  of  some  kind  all  the 
time.  The  range  should  be  sufficient 
to  give  them  good  exercise,  else  they 
will  not  do  their  best.  Also,  they  should 
lie  provided  with  pure  water  all  the 
time.  I  never  had  anything  on  the 
farm  that  saved  me  more  work,  paid

have  ever  fed,  but  if  they  have  appe- 
as  hogs  should  have,  you  have 
to  be  careful  not  to  give  them  too  much 
.  e  time  or  you  will  founder  some 
Of  them,  thereby  curtailing  your  prof- 
its at  a  great   rate. 

I  never  feed  but  twice  a  day  and 
never  have  fed  ground  wheat  exclu- 
sively to  fattening  hogs.  If  I  ever  do, 
I  shall  make  a  self-feeder  and  feed 
it  dry.  Have  fed  plenty  of  soaked 
wheat,  but  it  is  a  wasteful  way  of  feed- 
in  iter    feed    whole    wheat   dry. 

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

WINTERING  THE  FALL  CALF. 


If  the  calf  is  worth  carrying 
through  the  winter  it  is  certainly  worth 
caring  for  properly,  and  by  properly  is 
meant  good  food  and  water,  and  proper 
care.  If  the  calf  is  strong  and  health} 
it  ought  to  pay  well  for  the  best  at- 
tention that  can  be  given  it.  First  of 
all  it  needs  a  dry,  clean  place,  not 
warmed  by  artificial  heat,  but  as  warm 
as  lack  of  draughts  in  a  comfortable 
stable   will   make   it 

The  early  days  of  the  calf,  just  after 
weaning,  are  of  great  importance  and 
too  much  care  cannot  be  taken  to  see 
that  the  milk  given  it  is  absolutely 
fresh  and  pure,  and  fed  in  proper 
quantities.  As  a  rule,  the  calf  will 
properly  take  care  of  eight  pounds  of 
milk  per  day,  which  amount  can  be 
gradually  decreased  until  at  a  month 
old  it  is  consuming  twelve  pounds 
daily.  About  this  time  it  ought  an»~ 
to  become  interested  in  hay,  and  after 
awhile  will  begin  chewing  its  cud. 

A  calf  built  up  in  this  manner  dur- 
ing the  winter  will  be  in  excellent 
shape  to  turn  out  to  pasture  in  the 
spring  and  get  most  of  its  living  until 
fall,  when  you  will  have  a  splendid 
animal,  one  you  will  be  proud  to  add 
to  your  herd. 


FLAXSEED     FOR     MILK     COWS. 


"Whenever  flaxseed  is  fed  it  must  be 
used  in  small  quantities  because  of  the 
cathartic  effect  that  it  will  have  upon 
the  animals,  says  Hoard's  Dairyman. 
It  should  be  fed  in  very  small  amounts 
to  begin  with,  say  a  tablespoonful 
twice  a  day.  The  amount  can  be  grad- 
ually increased  until  the  animal  is  re- 
ceiving a  pound  a  day,  or  to  the  point 
where  it  begins  to  show  a  loosening  ef- 
fect upon  the  animal's  digestive  or- 
gans, but  we  do  not  think  it  is  advis- 
able to  feed  over  a  pound  of  it  a  day. 


A  beautifully  marked  cow  is  attrac- 
tive, but  breeders  have  in  view  the 
quantity  and  quality  or  the  milk  she 
gives  Fads  are  all  right,  but  they 
don't  pay  as  well  as  butter  and   milk. 


The  best  butter  makers  are  using 
seven-eighths  of  an  ounce  of  salt  to  the 
pound.  They  let  it  stand  twelve  hours 
after  the  first  working,  then  work  it 
again,  and  pack  it  into  jars. 


A  runty  calf  will  eat  its  head  off  two 
or  three  times  a  year,  and  then  not 
he  of  any  profitable  value.

ADVICE    TO    HOG    RAISERS. 


, 


Some  advice  has  been  offered  to  hog 
raisers  by  R.  A.  Craig,  veterinarian  of 
the  State  of  Indiana,  which  is  so  valu- 
able that  it  is  reproduced  herewith: 

The  main  precautions  against  carry- 
ing disease  germs  into  the  yards  areas 
follows: 

1.  Hogs  from  other  herds,  or  stock 
shows  should  not  be  allowed  to  mix 
with  the  herd  until  they  have  been 
proven   free  from  disease. 

2.  -A  11  possible  ways  in  which  the 
germs  can  be  carried  into  the  yard  by 
people,  dogs,  birds,  etc.,  should  be 
guarded  against,  especially  when  the 
disease  is  present  in  the  neighbor- 
hood. 

3.  Dipping  or  washing  the  hogs  with 
a  2  per  cent  water  solution  of  a  tar 
disinfectant  should  be  practiced  and 
the  animals  placed  In  quarantine  ior 
at  least  three  weeks  in  yards  that  do 
not  communicate  in  any  way  with  the 
regular  yards. 

4.  "When  it  is  necessary  for  persons 
to  enter  pens  where  the  disease  is 
known  to  exist,  they  should  clean  and 
disinfect  their  shoes  when  leaving. 

5.  Persons  taking  care  of  sick  hogs 
should  use  all  possible  precautions 
against  the  spread  of  the  disease  in 
their  neighborhood. 

The  importance  of  clean  feed,  water, 
troughs  and  feeding  floors  must  be 
emphasized,  as  it  is  in  the  feed  that 
the  germs  usually  enter  the  body.  In 
no  other  place  on  the  farm  are  white- 
wash and  disinfectants  so  necessary  as 
in  the  hog  houses  and  pens.  Pastures 
and  lots  can  be  kept  in  a  more  health- 
ful condition  if  the  hogs  are  taken  out 
for  a  few  months  each  year,  and  a 
forage  crop  sowed  in  the  unused  lots. 
Clean  yards  prevent  exposure  to  a 
large  number  of  active  germs  at  any 
one  time,  in  this  way  being  an  impor- 
tant help  in  preventing  disease.  Pens 
and  pastures  receiving  the  drainage 
from  neighboring  swine  enclosures 
should  not  be  used. 

Some  of  the  necessary  measures  in 
the  treatment  of  a  sick  herd  are  as 
follows: 

1  Disinfect  the  feeding  floors, 
troughs,  hog  houses  and  their  imme- 
diate surroundings  daily  with  a  water 
solution  of  a  tar  disinfectant  (2  to  4 
per  cent).  If  this  cannot  be  done,  re- 
move the  hogs  and  build  temporary 
quarters. 

2.  Feed  a  light,  sloppy  diet  of  shorts, 
bran,   etc. 

3.  Do  not  leave  water  and  slop  in 
the  troughs  for  the  hogs  to  wallow  in. 

4.'  Copper  sulphate  can  be  dissolved 
in  the  drinking  water  and  slop  in  the 
proportion  of  four  ounces  to  the  bar- 
rel. 

5.  The  dead  hogs  should  be  burned 
or  buried,  and  their  bodies  covered 
with  lime. 

If  these  precautions  against  the 
spread  and  perpetuation  of  "hog  chol- 
era" were  observed,  it  is  believed  that 
this  disease  would  not  exist  as  an  epi- 
demic from  year  to  year.

OPENING  SATURDAY,  NOVEMBFR  II 


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

);  THE  OCCIDENT  STAKE  is  California's  greatest 
■  rotting  classic,  and  to  -win  it  is  the  greatest  honor 
'three-year-old  trotter  can  achieve  on  this  coast  It 
is  the  richest  stake  of  the  year  to  the  winners,  as 
he  entire  amount  is  divided  between  the  first  three 
1  the  final  summary.  There  is  60  per  cent  to  the 
.-inner,  30  per  cent  to  the  second  horse  and  10  pet 
ent  to  the  third.  This  year  North  Star  by  Nutwood 
Jvilkes,  the  winner,  won  §2,491,  Bellemont  by  Zombro 

,  ras  second  and  won  $1,045.50,  while  Princess  L6uise, 
ho  was  third,  was  awarded  $348.50  or  just  $248.50 
lore  than  the  entrance  money  paid  on  her.  It  will 
e  seen  that  the  Occident  Stake  is  a  profitable  stake 
|o  win  or  get  money  in,  and  the  winning  has  led  to 
lore  than  one  sale  at  big  figures.  The  stake  of 
.908,  which  is  for  foals  of  1905,  will  close  for  entries 

•in  January  1st,  1906,  with  Albert  Lindley  Secretary  of 
.he  California  State  Agricultural  Society.     The  foals 

[if  1905  are  now  weaned  and  every  owner  who  expects 

|(o  train,  sell  or  race  his  foal  of  this  year,  should  see 

■  jhat  it  is  entered  in  this  stake.  The  amount  required 
o  make  the  entry  is  but  $10  and  the  payments  there- 

('fter  are  made  yearly.  The  State  Fairs  of  California 
re  to  be  made  greater  expositions  in  the  future 
han  were  ever  held  on  the  State  Fair  grounds.  By 
90S,  when  this  stake  is  trotted,  it  need  not  surprise 
■.nyone  if  there  are  20,000  people  on  the  grounds, 
omething  that  has  never  occurred  at  any  State  Fair 

in  the  past.     If  your  colt  can  win  the  Occident  Stake 

jf  190S  he  will  command  a  big  price  right  then  and 
here.    He  will  have  no  chance  on  earth  to  win  unless 

[ie  is  entered  as  there  are  no  substitutions  in  the 
)ccident. 


THE  SAN  JOSE  RACE  TRACK,  which  was  recent- 
y  purchased  from  the  San  Jose  Fair  Association  by 
Jr.  Hanchette,  representing  the  corporation  that  has 
ecently  purchased  the  San  Jose,  Santa  Clara  and 
Uum  Rock  Railroad,  will  not  be  used  for  railroad 
mrposes  for  a  time  at  least.  Budd  Doble.  who  has 
.is  stallion  Kinney  Lou  2:07%  and  a  number  of  others 
,t  the  San  Jose  track,  was  told  by  the  new  com- 
pany's representative  that  the  track  would  be  kept 
n  order  for  training  and  that  no  change  was  con- 
emplated  at  present,  except  that  a  number  of  im- 
■rovements  were  being  considered  that  would  makv 
he  track  more  popular  with  harness  horse  owners 
han  ever.  It  is  possible  that  a  great  agricultural 
air"  will  be  given  there  annually  if  plans  now  under 
'/ay    materialize. 


TAKE  OFF  YOUR  HATS  to  the  Los  Angeles  Har- 
ass Horse  Association.  Although  the  two  excellent 
arness  race  meetings  given  by  this  organization  this 
ear  were  not  financially  successful,  although  from 
.  racing  standpoint  no  better  meetings  were  ever 
eld  in  any  country,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  de- 
ided  to  give  two  meetings  in  1906.  one  in  the  spring, 
nother  in  the  fall  Good  purses  will  be  offered  and 
he  same  high  class  management  will  govern  the 
leetings.  The  gentlemen  composing  the  Los  Angeles 
larness  Horse  Association  do  not  propose  to  give  up 

ecause  one  year's  gate  receipts  and  other  re- 

ell  below  the  expenses.  They  intend  to  make  another 
ffort  and  the  "Breeder  and  Sportsman"  desires  now 
0  urge  upon  every  breeder,  owner,  trainer  and  other 
erson  interested  in  harness  horse  affairs  to  do  what 
e  can  to  make  the  Los  Angeles  meetings  of  1906  big 
uccesses.  Gentlemen  of  the  harness  turf,  take  off 
our  hats  to  the  Los  Angelenos.  They  have  do; 
re  doing  everything  in  their  power  to  build  up  har- 
ness racing  in  California  and  they  deserve  our  un- 
ualified  and  unanimous  support. 


MORE  INTEREST  THAN  EVER  is  being  taken  by 
California  breeders  in  harness  colt  stakes.  The  Pacific 
Breeders'  Futurity  for  the  foils  of  mares  bred  in  1905 
closed  on  the  4th  instant  and  has  a  larger  entry  list 
than  last  year,  which  is  a  splendid  showing.  The 
number  of  nominators  is  much  larger,  showing  that 
the  number  of  individuals  interested  in  the  breeding 
and  racing  of  trotters  and  pacers  is  on  the  increase 
in  California  in  spite,  of  the  fact  that  the  circuit  of 
harness  racing  is  so  limited.  The  winning  of  the 
Occident,  Stanford  and  Breeders'  Futurity  Stakes  this 
year  by  North  Star  has  shown  breeders  that  it  i.s 
possible  for  a  California  three-year-old  to  earn  a  large 
sum  without  leaving  the  confines  of  his  native  State. 
If  these  three  rich  stakes  continue  to  be  well  patron- 
ized in  the  future,  they  will  naturally  increase  in 
value  year  after  year  a. rid  the  time  will  surely  come 
when  a  three-year-old' that  can  defeat  all  of  his  age 
in  the  California  stakes  will  earn  §10,000  or  upwards 
for  his  owner.  The  full  list  of  the  nominators  in  the 
Breeders*  Futurity  No  6,  with  the  name  of  mares 
nominated  and  stallion  bred  to,  will  appear  in  our 
issue  of  next  week,  which  will  be  the  annual  Christ- 
mas number.  It  will  be  for  sale  on  all  news  stands 
at  the  usual  price — ten  cents. 


The  new  long  shaft,  low  seat  McMurray  Speed  Cart, 
in  two  different  weights— forty  and  forty-five  pounds 
— will  arrive  at  the  Kenney  Manufacturing  Company's 
place  of  business,  531  Valencia  street,  San  Francisco, 
this  coming  week.  Buy  yourself  a  Christmas  present 
that  you  will  enjoy  every  day  in  the  year. 


"W.  G.  Durfee  of  Los  Angeles  has  recently  pur- 
chased a  colt  by  his  Onward  stallion  Petigru  2:10% 
out  of  Juliet  D.  2:13%,  dam  of  Irish  2:08%,  by  Mc- 
Kinney  2:11%.  This  colt  is  well  staked  and  gives 
promise  of  being  a  fast  one.  Mr.  Durfee  has  three 
yearlings  by  Petigru,  all  of  them  fast.  Petigru  is 
siring  speed  from  all  kinds  of  mares,  which  is  not 
surprising,  as  he  is  fast  himself  and  is  bred  right 
to  transmit  this  quality. 


There  are  about  250  head  of  trotters  and  pacers 
working  at  the  Los  Angeles  track,  and  the  interest  in 
the  harness  horse  has  not  waned  any  in  the  sunny 
south.  Horsemen  there  are  looking  forward  to  much 
sport  at  the  matinee  races  of  the  Los  Angeles  Driving 
Club,  which  will  be  held  quite  often  during  the  winter. 


S      K.     TREFRS'S     KENNETH     C.     (3)     2:17 


The  San  Francisco  Wheel  and  Novelty  Company  at 
Sixteenth  and  Valencia  streets  has  just  received  a 
shipment  of  beautiful  1906  model  road  and  speed  carts 
from  the  Houghton  Sulkey  Company.  These  carts 
are  as  fine  as  anything  in  the  market  and  are  growing 
more   popular   every   day. 


In  all  the  races  to  be  decided  at  the  meetings  of 
the  Los  Angeles  Driving  Club  in  the  future,  carts 
will  be  used  instead  of  sulkies  At  a  recent  meeting 
of  this  amateur  organization,  a  proposition  was  ad- 
vanced to  require  all  horses  starting  to  be  driven  to 
wagon.  Owing  to  the  fact  that  this  would  require 
a  large  outlay  from  the  treasury  of  the  organization, 
as  many  of  the  members  can  hardly  afford  to  own 
sliced  wagons,  it  was  decided  that  carts  would  be 
the  regulation  hitch  in  the  future,  or  until  the  organ- 
ization considered  itself  in  such  a  financial  shape 
that  it  could  afford  to  purchase  sufficient  wagons  to 
supply  all  entries  with  one.

The  Trotter  and  Pacer  says:  "When  Trainer  Johnny 
Dickerson  arrived  home  this  fall  with  his  string  of 
campaigners,  after  a  most  successful  season,  some 
one  asked  him  if  he  was  going  to  keep  the  same 
private  car  to  ship  his  horses  in  next  year  that  lie 
had  used  this.  'Of  course,'  was  Dickerson's  response, 
mhI  say,  that  car  is  a  mascot  It  has  a  lucky  num-

A  dispatch  from  Santa  Rosa  states  that  Thos.  L 
Hehir,  of  the  well-known  firm  of  Belden  &,  Hehir, 
harness  goods  dealers  of  Santa  Rosn.  recently  pur- 
chased from  Millard  Sanders  the  sulky  that"  Lou 
Dillon  drew  when  she  made  her  world's  record  of 
1:58%.  .  The  sulky  is  now  on  exhibition  at  the  Belden 
&  Hehir  establishment  in  Santa  Rosa  an9  is  attract- 
ing great  attention  from  the  residents  of  the  county 
where  Lou  Dillon  was  bred.  The  sulky  weighs  jhm 
twenty-four  pounds  and  one  ounce,  and  it  has  been 
made  famous  by  the  performances  of  the  little  animal 
from  the  City  of  Roses.  With  it  at  Columbus,  O.. 
Lou  Dillon  set  the  first  mark  for  a  trotter  below  two 
minutes,  and  established  a  record  which  may  never 
be  equaled  or  beaten.  The  sulky  was  presented  to 
Millard  Sanders  for  his  work  with  Lou  Dillon.  It 
has  the  name  of  the  world's  champion  painted  on  it 
in  gilt  letters.  It  is  also  stated  in  the  dispatch  that 
Mr.  Sanders  will  spend  the  next  two  months  in  Santa 
Rosa. 


Good  pasturage  where  there  is  no  wire  fencing  and 
plenty  of  good  box  stalls  can  be  had  at  the  farm 
of  Mrs.  M.  L  Chase,  Sonoma,  Cal.  See  advertise- 
ment. 


A  colt  that  is  being  greatly  praised  by  every  horse- 
man who  has  seen  him  is  the  yearling  coll  by  Mon- 
terey 2:04%  out  of  Dot  McKinhey  by  McKinney  2:11% 
that  James  Berryman  of  2220  Santa  Clara  avenue, 
Alameda,  has  in  training.  This  colt  is  a  handsome 
bay,  good  headed  and  with  remarkable  speed.  He 
is  entered  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity,  Occident.  Stan- 
ford and  the  Crowley  stakes  and  looks  like  one  that 
with  ordinary  luck  would  gel  a  good  snare  or  the 
money   in    those    Important    events.      The   Sidney   and 

Monterey  bl I  combined  should  result  In  a  very  fast 

coll  and  .-I  game  race  horse,  and   ''  :  r  looks 

as    if   be    would    fill   the   measure.

Frank  G  Smith  of  the  Horse  World  says:  The  Mc- 
Donald family  were  decidedly  in  evidence  at  the 
races  the  past  season.  The  noted  "big  five"  are 
Messrs.  Wm.  B.  McDonald,  Buffalo;  Alta  McDonald, 
Island  Park;  Alonzp  McDonald,  Readville;  Dave  Mc- 
Donald,  Pittsburg-,  and  Al  McDonald  of  California. 
A  $10,000  stake  for  the  McDonald  steppers  down  the 
G        d   Circuit   is  now   in  order. 


An  eastern  exchange  remarks:  A  religious  news. 
paper  has  an  advertisement  calling  for  "a  good  hors« 
to  do  the  work  of  a  country  minister."  It  is  to  bi 
hoped  that  the  horse  will  be  forthcoming  and  able  t< 
carry  on  the  ministerial  duties.

The  good  Colorado  trotter  Dewey  2:13j$  by  Superior 
who  started  the  season  with  a  record  of  2:33y2, 
made  a  fine  campaign.  In  fifteen  races  in  which  he 
appeared  he  won  ten,  was  second  and  third  each 
twice  and  but  once  unplaced.  His  trainer.  L.  J. 
Smith,  is  confident  that  he  will  beat  2:10  next  year. 


Briquette,  the  bay  mare  by  Zombro  2:11,  out  of 
Alaska  by  Woolsey,  own  brother  to  Sunol  2:08%,  is 
ig  well  for  Joe  Maguire.  who  is  training  her  at 
Denver  for  S.  H.  Bernard.  He  recently  drove  her  a 
half  in  1:03*4  and  a  quarter  in  30*4  seconds.  This 
is  the  mare  bred  by  Mr.  M.  A.  Murphy  and  sold  to 
Mr.    Bernard   for    $5000. 


A  writer  for  the  Country  Gentleman,  in  reporting 
the  National  Horse  Show,  speaks  of  the  part  trot- 
ting bred  horses  took  in  that  function  as  follows. 
"The  trotting  blood  showed  very  strongly  in  the 
various  harness  classes,  and  as  a  specimen  of  the 
Quality,  it  may  be  said  that  in  Class  40  there  were 
twenty  trotters,  shown  to  runabouts  and  judged  on 
conformation,  style,  all  around  action,  pace,  good 
manners,  to  stand  without  being  held;  and  that  seven 
of  these  twenty  had  records  of  2:20  or  better,  a  mar- 
velous performance  for  such  a  class,  and  one  which 
is  not  likely  to  be  brought  before  the  public,  except 
in  this  statement  The  Lady  Kathryn  of  A.  G.  Van- 
derbilt  won  in  this  class,  a  sharp,  snappy,  alert,  high- 
actioned  mare,  with  perfect  manners,  that  was  a  good 
second  in  this  class  last  year,  and  at  that  time  at- 
tracted my  attention.  Such  trotting  classes,  those 
where  the  finished  road  article  was  in  evidence,  were 
extremely  good,  and  it  is  perfectly  safe  to  say  that 
the  stars  could  not  be  surpassed  in  the  world,  even  if 
they  could  be  equalled.  Many  American  harness 
horses  have  gone  to  Europe,  but  the  standard  here 
has  not  been  stationary,  as  shown  in  the  awards  at 
this  show,  and  the  horse  that  won  with  flying  colors 
this  year  must  show  improvement  before  he  can 
hope  to  do  the  same  in  1906."  In  view  of  this  un- 
prejudiced statement  it  looks  as  though  those  who 
have  l<  ng  held  the  opinion  that  by  a  proper  effort 
trotting  bred  horses  could  be  selected  which  would 
outshow  the  horses  of  any  other  breeds  in  harness 
class  are  correct  in  their  views. 


Mr.   C.   W.    Wright  returned   from   his  trip   to   New 

York   last    week    and    left   on    Thursday   of   this   week

Judith,  who  trotted  to  a  record  of  2:25  at  La 
Grande,  Ore.,  last  October,  is  an  own  sister  of  the 
dead  Janice  2.08%,  being  by  William  Harold  2:13^4, 
son  of  Sidney  2:19%.  out  of  Fenella  by  Fallis  2:23. 


Mr.  A  Edstrom  of  Merced,  Cal.,  has  through  an

with  Mr.  C.  A.  Harrison  of  Victoria,  B.  C.,  an  eighteen 
months  old  colt  by  American  Hal,  dam  Carman  by

A  match  race  came  off  on  the  Alameda  race  track 
last  Sunday  between  R.  Consani's  Daken  D.,  driven 
by  himself,  and  Correghino  Bros '  Lulu  F.,  driven  by 
Tom  Nuckols,  the  colored  driver.  Mr.  Consani  won 
the  race  in  straight  heats  in  1:11%  and  1:12  and 
proved  himself  an  excellent  reinsman.  The  match 
was  for  $20  a  side.  Mr.  J.  I.  Sparrow,  the  well  known 
coast  agent  for  the  Miller  cart,  acted  as  presiding 
judge  and  Mr.  McTigue  held  the  starters'  flag.  A 
large  crowd  was  present  to  see  the  sport. 


May  King  2:20,  sire  of  Bingen  2:06^4,  by  Elec- 
tioneer, dam  May  Queen  2.20  by  Norman,  was  sold 
to  N.  B.  Parsons  of  Maine  for  $235  at  the  Old  Glory 
auction  last  week.  May  King  was  foaled  in  1886.  He 
once  sold  for  a  price  well  up  in  the  thousands. 


W.  A.  Clark,  Jr.,  owner  of  Bon  Voyage  and  other 
good  harness  performers,  recently  underwent  an  oper- 
ation for  chronic  mastoiditis  in  New  York.  His  con- 
dition is  satisfactory  at  the  present  time. 


It  is  announced  that  Nettie  King  2:20^4  gave  birth 
to  a  full  brother  of  The  Abbott  2:03*4  at  Hillandale 
Farm,  September  20,  and  was  mated  with  Bellini 
2.13^4.  According  to  the  old-age  theory  this  young- 
ster should  be  much  faster  than  The  Abbot  2: 03^4- 


SIDNEY    DILLON 

Guy  Fortune  2:11%  helped  maintain  the  reputation 
of  the  Alcyone  branch  of  the  Wilkes  family  as  blue 
ribbon  winners  at  the  recent  National  Horse  Show 
in  Madison  Square  Garden.  He  won  first  prize  in 
the  class  for  trotting  stallions  four  years  old  or  over, 
kept  for  service.  His  sire.  Guardsman  2:23%,  was  a 
son  of  Alcyone  2:27.  The  latter  once  won  the  blue 
ribbon  over  the  famous  Mambrino  King  at  the  Na- 
tional Horse  Show.  Guardsman  2:23%  is  a  full 
brother  of  Quartermaster  2:21*4.  In  1S91  Quarter- 
master was  awarded  first  prize,  $500,  at  the  National 
Horse  Show  in  the  herd  class  for  stallions  with  four 
of  their  get.  His  competitor  was  the  famous  Mam- 
brino King  and  four  of  his  get.  In  1S92  Quarter- 
master won  the  $1000  prize  for  best  trotting  stallion 
at  the  National  Horse  Show  over  Mambrino  King  and 
Haldane  2:26%.  At  the  same  show  he  also  won  first 
prize,  $500,  in  the  herd  class  for  stallions  with  foui 
of  their  get,  beating  Alcantara  2:23  and  the  noted 
Village  Farm  stallion  Chimes. 


Eddie  Mitchell,  who  was  formerly  with  Cresceus 
but  is  now  in  the  employ  of  Winans  Brothers  of 
England,  writes  as  follows  to  the  American  Horse 
Breeder:  "I  arrived  here  safely  from  the  continent 
with  Alta  Axworthy,  Wig  Wag  and  Katherine  A., 
after  a  very  successful  year.  We  like  Alta  very 
much.  She  is  a  great  mare  for  our  kind  of  racing  as 
she  can  go  over  any  kind  of  track  and  in  any  weather. 
She  has  only  made  two  breaks  for  me  this  year.  She 
has  trotted  faster  than  any  four  year  old  that  ever 
came  to  Europe.  The  last  time  she  started  she  gave 
Contralto  30  meters  and  beat  her  Our  stable  won 
thirteen  races  and  a  little  over  $15,000.  In  her  long 
distance  races  Alta  wore  only  eight-ounce  plain  shoes 
in  front,  no  toe  weights,  five-ounce  shoes  behind,  knee 
boots  and  shin  boots.  When  she  won  the  champion- 
ship of  Europe  she  was  handicapped  in  the  final  heat 
by  the  breaking  of  her  knee  boot  suspenders.  This 
let  the  boots  drop  down  around  her  ankles  and  I 
thought  every  second  she  would  leave  her  feet  as  the 
hoots  were  making  a  terrible  noise  in  the  mud.  But 
she  stayed  on  a  trot  and  won  the  heat.  Mr.  Winans 
has  nol  decided  yet  whether  lie  will  race  next  year  in 

n i  <  i  or  Austria.     Alta  can  beat  2:06  right  now  on 

a  mile   Mark." 


In  the  Chicago  horse  market  the  receipts  of  horse: 
for  the  first  ten  months  of  this  year  totaled  113,343 
against  95,509  arrivals  for  the  corresponding  pe'rio< 
last  year.  Local  consumption  for  the  ten  months  ii 
Chicago  was  double  the  volume  for  the  same  perioc 
of  1904.  At  a  recent  auction  sale  in  Chicago  15  of  th( 
70  horses  sold  had  been  worked  for  eight  of  ten  year; 
and  yet  they  realized  $210  each.  Horses  that  hat 
been  worked  for  six  months  to  two  years,  some  o 
which  were  bought  at  an  average  of  $325  each,  wen 
sold  for  $280  apiece. 


The  fast  brown  filly  Rosabel  2:24%  by  Adbell- 
owned  by  W.  B.  Chisholm  of  Cleveland  and  cam- 
paigned the  past  season  by  Ben  Kenney,  was  fount 
dead  in  her  stall  at  the  Glenville  track  last  week 
Rosabel  had  shown  miles  in  2:10%  in  her  work  thi 
past  season. 


Texas  Rooker  2:05%  will  be  raced' in  the  free-for- 
alls  on  the  ice  in  Canada  by  Dan  McEwan. 


W.    J.    Andrews    thinks    Ethel's    Pride    2:06%    wil 
take  a  record  of  2:04  or  better  next  season. 


Knap  McCarthy  has  decided  to  postpone  his  Cali- 
fornia trip  and  will  winter  Norman  B.  2:06%  and  th< 
rest  of  his  stable  at  the  Terre  Haute,  Ind.,  track.

The  Davisville"  road  drivers  had  an  afternoon  oi 
racing  on  the  2d  instant  on  the  half  mile  track  a' 
Campbell  Bros,  farm  west  of  that  town.  The  firs: 
race,  in  which  there  were  three  starters,  was  won  bj 
Campbell's  Sadie  M„  a  trotter,  with  Orin  Wright': 
Lottie  Wilkes  second  and  Del  Grieve's  Whoa-haw- 
Dick  third.  The  pacing  event  was  won  by  F,  P 
Smith's  Irish  Lassie,  she  beating  out  Orin  Wright"; 
Mono  Rose  a  few  inches  in  each  heat.  A  race  foi 
saddle  horses  and  a  broncho  bucking  exhibition  fin- 
ished the  program.     A  large  crowd  was  present. 


Millard  Sanders,  who  intends  opening  a  pubhi 
training  stable  at  Pleasanton,  states  that  before  h( 
left  the  East  he  made  a  proposition  to  Mr.  Billings 
owner  of  Lou  D-llon  1:5S%,  that  he  would  take  thi 
mare  next  year,  train  her  and  try  to  lower  her  record 
which  he  firmly  believes  he  can  do.  In  case  he  shoulc 
not  succeed  in  his  endeavor  he  would  not  charge  i 
cent  for  his  services  as  trainer.  It  has  been  pub 
lished  in  the  Eastern  papers  that  Lou  Dillon  wouk 
be  bred  to  John  A.  McKerron  in  1906,  as  Mr.  Billing: 
would  be  in  Europe  all  the  year.

INFLUENCE  OF  TEMPERAMENT. 


"The    death    rate   among-   children   has    been    reduced

he  rigm  enforcement  of  the  southern  ordinances  cov- 
riir  I  ie  inspection  of  milk."  This  statement  was 
nade  by  Dr.  W.  E.  D.  Morrison,  Assistant  State  Vet- 
erinarian, recently  at  the  second  annual  meeting  of 
.he  California  Livestock  Sanitary  Association  at  the 
Palace   Hotel. 

j  The  a*sgpciation  is  made  up  of  the  veterinary  ofn> 
pals  of  '(file  various  counties  throughout  the  State 
land  its  offiect  is  to  assist  in  stamping  out  contagious 
, diseases  <£mong  cattle/^  Much  of  the  time  of  the 
•neeting  was  taken  up '-with  a  discussion  of  anthrax 
Umong   cattle   and    scab   among  sheep. 

Dr.    Morrison,    who    read    an    interesting    paper    on 

j'Duties  of  County  Livestock  Inspectors  and  the  BesJ:  „' 

Methods   of   Carrying   on   the   Work,"   took   a   p'r<uni- 

* e 1 1 f  part  in  the  discussion  of  the  various  papers.     He 

-eco  mm  ended   a  strict  law   regarding  milk   inspection 

i.n;      he    immediate    cancellation    of3  the  »-licenses    of 

hi       ho  violate  its  provisions      The  "law  he  recom- 

ne  :        prohibits  the  sale  of  milk  by  a  dairyman  *un- 

r>s   his   cows   have  been   tested  and   unless   the   milk 

pomes  up  to  the  required  standard.     In  the  south,  he 

[said,   the   custom  was  to   impose  a  fine  for   the   first 

[infraction  of  the  law  and  to  revoke  the  license  upon 

|:Ke  second  offense. 

He   suggested  a  uniform  ordinance  throughout  the 
,j3tate    and    believes    its    influence   would    be    felt    im- 
mediately.   He  attacked  the  present  sheep  law,  under 
Which  shepherds,  and  not  qualified  veterinarians,  may 
Ipass  upon  the  condition 'of  diseased  sheep. 
i     Dr.  Work  of  Berkeley  reported  that  the  Oakland  au- 
thorities maintain  a  strict  watch  over  both  milk  and 
the  dairies.    Berkeley,  he  said,  was  not  so  strict,  many 
liiseased  cows  being  kept  in  dairies  there. 
j    Retiring   President   Megowan   dwelt   particularly    in 
[his  address  to  the  members  on  the  necessity  of  tiu: 
[Inspection  of  milk,  as  it  was  a  disseminator  of  dis- 
ease.     He    said    the    question    of   tuberculosis    among 
battle  was  a  vital  one  and  that  the  chief  duty  of  the 
issociation  was  to  prevent  its  spread. 
I    Dr.   F.    N.    Sawyer,    county   live   stock   inspector   of 
;Kern    county,    spoke    on    "Tick    Extermination."      He 
:?aid  if  cattle  were  dipped  systematically  at  monthly 
iintervals   for   one   year   in   suitable   oil   it  would   dis- 
courage   the    ticks.      He    said    the    oil    found    in    the 
HECern    fields   was    too    heavy.      He    also    recommended. 
'keeping  cattle  off  infected  fields  for  a  year,  cultivating 
J£e  land  in  the  meantime  or  pasturing  sheep  there. 
'    Dr.  R.  A.  Archibald,  city  veterinarian  of  Oakland, 
^gpoke  on  "The  Use  and  Abuse  of  Anthrax  Vaccines." 
.(He  held   the   vaccines   in   use   at   present   are  neither 
scientific  nor  efficient,  and  said  the  existing  conditions 
'are  deplorable.     He  held  the  sale  should  be  controlled 
Ljby  law      At  present  the  vaccine  is  chiefly  useless,  as 
'the  makers  have  to  send  it  out  mild  in  order  that  it 
will  not  kill. 
i(    Dr.   A.   Ward   spoke   of   the    "Veterinarian     in      the- 
Laboratory."     He  said  the  State  Laboratory  at  Berke- 
ley extended  its  privileges  free  to  veterinarians   and 
the    officials    were    glad    to    assist    their    professional 
brethren.     The  officials  are  always  ready  to  arbitrate 
'in   disputes    regarding   the    quarantine    of   cattle,    es- 
pecially   in   anthrax. 
There   was   a   discussion   of  the   feed    question   and 
Pit  was  agreed  conditions  were  bad.     The  recent  rains 
injured   the  old  feed  on  hand,  while  the   frosts  have 
retarded  the  growth  pf  the  young  grass. 
The  new  officers  of  the*  association  are:

Oakland;   secretary  and  treasurer,  Dr.  Charles  Keane,

HERSEY   AND    DAN    PATCH. 

t  "There  was  quite  a  lot  of  criticism  over  my  select- 
ing a  practically  unknown  trainer  to  succeed  Mc- 
Henry,"  said  Mr.  Savage,  owner  of  Dan  Patch,  re- 
cently, "and  I  was  as  much  gratified  with  Hersey's 
success  as  with  Dan's.  I  had  a  great  deal  of  faith  in 
Mr.  Hersey,  naturally  so  or  I  would  not  have  given 
full  control  of  Dan  Patch  to  him.  He  is  a  college  man, 
and  I  believe  brains  and  education  will  tell  in  training 
a  horse  as  well  as  in  other  lines  of  business  en- 
deavor. He  has  earned  all  his  siaitcess  by  hard  and 
faithful  work,  intelligent  application'  of  his  knowledge 
3f  horses  and  particularly , his  study 'Jf  the  individual 
he  has  to  train. 

'  "There  are  other  trainers  who  wijuld  have  made 
more  speed  in  a  shorter  time — and  Hersey  undoubt- 
edly could  have  if  he  so  wished — but  they  would 
have  had  nothing  to  show  when  I  wanted  it,  in  the 
fall.  He  went  very  easy  with  Dan  Patch  in  the 
spring,  so  much  so  that  not  a  few  called  my  attention 
to  it  and  also  to  the  fact  that  the  horses  at  Louisville 
:ind  Memphis  were  beating  2:10.     Now  the  first  time 

|Dan  appeared  before  the  public  this  year  was  on 
Labor  Day  and  before  seventy  thousand  people  he 
heat  two  minutes,  and  I  do  not  believe  a  horse  ever 
went  so  many  good  miles  as  Dan  s'nce  that  time  up  to 

i his  mile  in  1:5S  at  Memphis.  And  more  than  this, 
he  has   never   been    a   disappointing   mile   in   his   life. 

fHe  is  always  ready  on  any  day  and  over  any  kind  of 
i  track.-   Dan  Patch  is  back  home  now  and  he  cam 
jack  weighing  twenty-five  pounds  more  than   he  did

admit  of  no  exceptions;  hence  It  falls  flat  at  once,  for 
Hambletonian  had  no  standard  record.  He  sired  Al- 
exander's Abdallah  when  he  was  three  years- old.-  and 
he  was  one  of  his  greatest  sons.  Surely  this  is  a 
notable  exception.  Alexander's  Abdallah  had  no  stan- 
dard record,  and  he  was  11  years  old  when  he  begot 
his  best  sons,  Almont  and  Belmont,  and  neither  of 
these  had  standard  records. 

While  some  of  our  greatest  sires  and  dams  wore 
horses  that  have  been  trained  and  raced,  many  of 
them  to  low  records,  yet  the  fact  remains  that  some 
of  our  greatest  brood  mares  never  wore  harness.  In 
this  connection  Dr.  J.  W.  Neal  seems  to  have  shark 
the  matter  nearly  right,  to  my  way  of  thinking.  He 
says: 

"My  experience  and  observation  teach  me  that, 
while  blood  lines  and  manifested  speed  are.  beyond 
question,  fundamentals  in  harness  speed  breeding,  the 
real  secret  of  success,  after  we  have  these  things 
as  a  basis  upon  which  to  build,  is  individual  selection 
and   mating. 

"In  horse  breeding  'like  produces  like-'  with  very 
many  and  very  marked  variations  In  fact,  the  law 
of  like  producing  like  in  a  Biblical  sense  means  only 
that  a  certain  species  will  reproduce  that  species,  the 
building  up  of  certain  traits,  qualities,  and  character- 
istics in  certain  species'  being  the  results  of  certain 
lines  of  inbreeding  and  individual  selection,  the  fun- 
damental principle  in  line  breeding  and  specific  char- 
acteristic production  and  perfection  being  the  con- 
densation of  a  certain  strain  of  blood. 

"I  take  it  for  granted  that  practically  all  harness 
speed  breeders  of  the  present  day  recognize  the  rea- 
sonableness of  relying  on  so-called  trotting  blood  in 
the  production  of  harness  speed,  and  this  leads  up  to 
the"  point  of  individual  selection  and  mating  of  trot- 
ting-bred  sires  and  dams.  When  harness-bred  speed 
breeding  shall  have  been  carried  on  for  centuries,  as 
has  running-horse  breeding,  there  will  still  be  fail- 
ures often  when  anirrlals  of  the  choicest  breeding  are 
mated,  just  as  now  happens  often  in  running-horse 
breeding,  unless  the  strictest  attention  is  given  to 
proper  individual  selection. 

"Horses,  like  humans,  have  temperamental  charac- 
teristics, and  with  horses,  as  with  humans,  males  and 
females  of  the  same  temperament  do  not  cross  well  in 
reproduction.  In  harness  speed  breeding,  then,  trot- 
ting blood  comes  first,  and  individual  mating  second 
as  elements  of  success,  and  I  am  not  sure  but  that 
this  should  be  reversed.  In  mating  stallions  and 
mares  of  strong  breeding,  the  innate  and  tempera- 
mental forces  of  the  one  are  either  augmented  or  neu- 
tralized by  the  innate  and  temperamental  forces  of  the 
other,  and  the  resultant  offspring  is  consequently 
often  greater  than  either  or  equal  to  neither; 

"Nearly  all  stallions  and  mares  are  either,  "positive 
or  negative  in  temperament  and  disposition— aggres- 
sive or  passive — and,  in  nature,  mating  'two  of  a 
kind,'  absolutely  of  a  kind,  means  nothing  as  a  pro- 
duct. One  had  as  well  try  to  get  an  electric  current 
from  the  joining  together  of  the  negative  poles  of. 
two  batteries  as  to  expect  a  race  horse  from  the 
mating  of  a  stallion  and  mare  each  possessing  the 
same  positive,  aggressive  temperamental  characteris- 
tics, or  the  reverse — i.  e.,  both  negative — for  life  it- 
self,' vital  force,  is  electricity.  Very  largely  stallions 
and  mares  are  like  either  pole  of  an  electric  bat- 
tery— are  either  positive  or  negative — and  it  is  a 
well-known  law  in  physics  that  either  two  positives 
or  two  negatives  produce  a   negative — nothing 

"In  undertaking  to  breed  harness  speed  the  first  es- 
sential, of  coarse,  is  to  select  stallions  and  mares  of 
approved  harness  speed  producing  blood  lines.  The 
next  essential  element  of  success  is  a  close  analytical 
study  of  mental  qualities  and  characteristics.  If  a 
mare  is  bred  right,  is  'snappy,'  nervous,  'high  strung.' 
and  has  a  tendency  to  be  "nighty.'  she  is  a  'good  pros- 
pect' as  a  speed  producer,  provided  she  is  ma  fed  with 
a  well-bred,  rather  phlegmatic,  courageous,  level- 
headed, non-excitable,  'deaconish,'  'clock-headed'  stal- 
lion, who  displays  his  real  metal  only  when  IdgOJ^fipIy 
'shaken   up.' 

Sluggish,  indifferently  disposed  mares,  howevej  w<  11 
bred,  will  produce  speed  only  when  bred  to  stallions 
of  the  tense  texture,  'high-keyed,'  dashing-,  alert, 
'breezy-acting'  soil  — tin-  'hot-blooded'  kind.  A  studs 
of  the  individual  i  haracteristics  along  these  lines  will 
compensate  any  speed  breeder,  and  what  Is  lu-iv  said 
is  said  more  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  thoughl 
along  these  lines  than  with  a  view  of  imparting"" !.v  ilu- 
able  information.'

i   breeding,  as  well  as  on   : !  c  subj<  <  fc    of 
religion,  politics,  and   planl  !ng  corn,  and    I        e  opin-

ception, great  speed-producing  brood  mares  have

INDIANAPOLIS  AS  A  MARKET  FOR  CALIFORNIA 
HORSES. 


With  the  discontinuance  of  the  Cleveland  sales, 
California  horsemen  naturally  look  to  Indianapolis  as 
the  distributing  point  for  such  horses  as  they  may  de- 
sire to  market  in  the  East.  The  Indiana  metropolis 
is  admirably  suited  to  California  shipments,  not  only 
on  account  of  its  geographical  location  but  1  ,ms. 
it  has  in  recent  years  attained  the  posit iofi  i.  the 
leading  sales  center  In  the  Middle  West  and  recent 
sales  at  that  point  have  demonstrated  beyond  ques- 
tion that  racing  prospects  of  real  merit  and  the  bet- 
ter class  of  breeding  stock  will  bring  better  values  at 
Indianapolis  than  anywhere  in  the  East.  The  Middle 
West  has  been  blessed  with  a  number  of  years  of 
transcendent  prosperity  and  the  very  great  majority 
of  the  more  pretentious  breeding  farms  are  "_  i'w  lo- 
cated In  the  Ohio  Valley  section  and  nearly  all  of  the 
Grand  Circuit  stables  are  sent  out  from  the  same 
section — and  of  this  section  Indianapolis  is  the  great

McKinney  and  Sidney  Dillon  found  new  homes  at 
Indianapolis,  California  horsemen  should  readily  see 
therein  the  sign  of  the  times.  At  the  last  Indianapolis 
sale  Mr.  James  Butler  of  East  View  Farm,  New  York. 
offered  a  consignment  of  upwards  of  forty  head,  and 
so  satisfactory  were  the  results  obtained  that  Mr. 
Butler  has  announced  his  intention  of  making  a  sec- 
ond consignment  to  that  point  at  the  spring  sale  the 
first  week  in  March  At  the  same  time,  the  Ken- 
tucky breeders  almost  to  a  man  favor  Indianapolis  as 
their  best  sales  point  and  are  sending  all  of  their  best 
stock  to  the  Indianapolis  sales.  No  market  offers  bet- 
ter sale  facilities  than  Indianapolis,  every  accommo- 
dation being -unsurpassed,  and  under  the  conduct  of 
such  a  firm  as  the  Blalr-Balser  Horse  Company,  In- 
dianapolis will  continue  to  grow  in  the  estimation  of 
thoughtful  horsemen  as  .the  best  of  all  Easijfrn  sale

PROFESSIONAL    DRIVERS'    ASSOCIATION. 


At  the  annual  meeting  of  this  association,  held  in 
New  York  last  month,  a  vote  of  the  eighty  members

abolish  the  three-in-five  system.  Seventy-three  mem- 
bers were  in  favor  of  the  three-in-five  system,  pro- 
viding races  were  completed  at  the  end  of  five  heats. 

The  association  voted  t<>  pet  Ition  the  National  and

ted  that  the  State  has  ratified 

.nenument;   so  I   have  been   looking 

he  work  as  carried  on  in  Erie  County  without 

tion    for    extension    niade    last 

.   thanks  to  rnor's  veto  of  the  bill  to 

\n    the   expenses   budget.     In   that  case   there 

lainly    nothing    to    do    but    look    after    existing 

of    which    there    are    fifty-four    miles    in    the 

y    under  the  supervision  of  the  county  engineer, 

:   ail   are   looked   after   uniformly  and   kept   in 

order  ' 

It  is  probable  that  the  really  unsolved  problem  in 
the  maintenance  of  macadamized  roads  is   the  dust. 
iter  the  stone  of  which  the  body  of  the  road  is 
-  :  powder  by  wearing,   there  is 

still  a  consideraK  -  wearing  property  left,  which  would 
be  made  the  most  of  but  for  the  fact  that  it  becomes 
iisht  by  drying  and  blows  away,  thus  causing  the  best 
road  of  the  sort  to  waste  away  constantly  through  the 
summer,  and  at  quite  a  considerable  rate,  if  the  travel 
is    heavy. 

There  has  been  some  study  of  the  resistance  to 
this  waste  and  the  rendering  of  such  roads  more 
passable  in  dry  weather  by  sprinkling,  but  County 
Engineer  Diehl  declares  that  it  is  out  of  the  question. 
A  team  with  sprinkler  can  cover  but  a  short  distance. 
and  there  is  need  of  considerable  apparatus,  including 
a  gas  engine  and  pump  where  there  is  no  hydrant 
service  with  pressure.  An  effort  was  made  some  time 
ago  to  sprinkle  a  piece  of  such  road  south  of  Buffalo, 
but  it  was  found  that  the  road  dried  up  so  fast  that 
it  was  actually  impossible  for  the  driver  of  the  sprink- 
ler on  his  return  trip  to  find  where  he  started  in. 

"While  such  a  road  slowly  wastes  away,  it  grows 
more  solid  with  use,  and  if  kept  a  proper  thickness 
it  will  give  the  best  satisfaction  possible  in  a  road 
that  is  still  something  of  a  nuisance  in  dry  weather, 
both  to  traveler  and  resident,  from  the  clouds  of  dust 
raised  especially  by  the  flying  automobile.  I  am  con- 
vinced that  the  common  idea  of  a  "good  road"  is  still- 
in  need  of  considerable  modification,  and  that  the 
problem  is  not  solved  yet  by  any  means.  I  am  not 
trying  to  throw  cold  water  on  the  plan,  much  as  the 
road  needs  it,  but  it  can  do  no  harm  to  show  what  is 
to  be  expected  of  the  stone  road  as  at  piresent  built; 
otherwise  we  are  going  to  be  much  disappointed.  The 
average  advocate  of  these  roads  has  an  idea  that  all 
that  is  needed  is  to  build  them.  He  will  soon  dis- 
cover his  mistake. 

Again  as  to  the  first  cost  of  such  roads;  I  read 
the  other  day  that  it  had  been  shown  that  $200  a  mile 
was  enough  to  lay  out  on  them  at  the  outset.  If  that 
is  true,  there  is  a  big  chance  for  missionary  work 
in  this  direction.  "While  ii  is  true  that  something 
could  be  done  with  that  amount  where  the  roadbed 
was  solid  rock  to  begin  with,  such  a  condition  is  too 
uncommon  to  be  worth  considering,  though  there  is 
a  big  difference  in  natural  foundations.  Erie  County 
is  laying  a  six-inch  macadam,  and  the  engineer  in- 
sists that  there  should  be  twice  that  thickness  near 
the  large  towns,  where  travel  is  heavy.  Otherwise, 
there  is  danger  of  its  breaking  up  in  extremely  wet 
times. 

Now  as  to  maintenance.  It  is  found  that  this  costs 
about  $50  a  mile  every  year  in  the  most  favorable 
localities,  where  the  natural  bottom  is  good,  with  lit- 
tle wearing  travel  and  not  much  hillside  washing. 
Near  Buffalo,  where  the  travel  is  heavy,  the  cost  Is 
about  $1  000  a  mile  every  year,  with  an  average  of 
about  $26S  a  mile  for  the  whole  amount  of  new  state 
road  in  the  county.  "When  we  consider  this  running 
cost,  we  are  little  less  than  frightened,  unless  we  are 
contractors  after  that  work  of  unthinking  citizens, 
with  the  idea  that  the  resources  of  the  state  are  limi- 
t  even  $250  a  mile  for  repairs,  it  would  take 
the  interest  at  5  per  cent  on  the  entire  $50,000,000  to 
maintain  10  000  miles  of  road;  so  that  when  the  roads 
are  built,  the  thing  to  do  is  to  put  up  another  vast 
sum  for  keeping  them,  as  the  most  fcolishly  expensive 
thing  imaginable  would  be  to  build  these  roads  and 
then  leave  them  to  go  to  pieces  again. 

If  the  cost  of  building  these  roads  to  be  cut  down 

•r.ing   like   $200   a  mile,   someihing  other   than 

used,  for  it  is  found  here  that 

of  it  to  build  a  mile,  and  that  it 

-l.TiO  a  yard  to  get  the  material  to  the  spot,  and 

we  have  only  a  six-inch  de*ih  at  that.     I  am  of  the 

n   that  there  will  be  same  better  plan  for  these 

I  some  day.  for  to  build  them  out  of  a 

o  errind  to  pieces  and  fly 

about   '  the  people  and  vegeta- 

i  side  of  the  road  does  not  seem  to 

at      ti    imph  of  high  ^ineering.     Still, 

I  make  the  trial  and 

as   well    as   by   our  successes.

;iton. 


There  has  never  been  a  time  since  the  breed  became 
a  fixture  that  the  Morgan  horse  has  been  without  his 
special  pleader.  In  fact,  there  has  usually  been  many 
more  than  one  such  advocate.  Some  of  them  have 
gone  beyond  the  bounds  of  all  reason  in  their  en- 
thusiasm. But  that  can  be  pardoned,  for  they  were 
upholding  the  claims  of  a  line  of  blood  that  has  done 
more,  perhaps,  in  proportion  to  its  opportunities  than 
any  other  that  has  been  used  in  forming  the  breed 
now  known  as  the  trotting  horse  of  America.  Author- 
ities continue  to  differ  as  to  the  paternity  of  Justin 
Morgan,  founder  of  the  tribe.  But  whatever  it  may 
have  been  there  is  one  crowning  fact  in  connection 
with  him  and  that  is  that  whatever  his  ancestry-  Jus- 
tin Morgan,  like  Hambletonian  10  and  Mambrino 
Chief  11,  was  one  of  the  most  wonderful  horses  of 
history. 

What  the  Morgan  tribe  might  have  accomplished 
without  the  aid  of  the  blood  of  Hambletonian  and 
Mambrino  Chief  is  a  matter  for  speculation  only. 
What  it  has  helped  to  do  is  of  record.  If  one  were  to 
make  a  list  of  the  2:10  trotters  and.  the  2:05  pacers 
that  carry  a  part  of  the  blood  of  the  Morgans  he 
would  find  it  to  be  a  most  formidable  one.  And  he 
would  find  that  it  carried  the  names  of  a  host  of 
great  race  horses.  And  as  the  list  of  great  race 
horses  that  inherit  Morgan  blood  increases  one  can 
but  feel  that  old  Justin  Morgan  was  a  horse  im- 
mensely above  the  ordinary. 

Fortunately,  while  there  has  been  no  widespread 
effort  to  maintain  the  breed  in  its  purity,  our  trot- 
ting horse  breeders,  for  one  reason  or  another,  have 
used  a  great  deal  of  the  blood,  in  many  cases  to  great 
advantage.  "What  would  have  been  done  without  it 
can  never  be  told,  but  if  there  is  any  doubt  as  to 
what  has  been  done  with  it,  that  doubt  will  be  re- 
moved by  reference  to  the  list  of  fast  harness  per- 
formers. 

In  this  connection  mention  of  the  work  of  Joseph 
Battell,  in  the  compilation,  and  publication  of  the  his- 
tory of  the  Morgan  horse,  should  not  be  omitted.  Mr. 
Battell's  work  was  almost  entirely  a  labor  of  love  and 
enthusiasm.  Fortunately  for  him  and  for  horse  his- 
tory, he  is  a  gentleman  of  means  and  he  wunt  about 
his  task  in  no  niggardly  fashion.  The  result,  so  far, 
is  one  volume,  and  I  understand  another  is  about  to 
be  issued,  filled  from  cover  to  cover  with  information 
of  immense  value,  nearly  all  of  it  accurate,  and  which 
but  for  him  might  never  have  been  at  the  disposal  of 
the  student  of  breeding. 

The  Morgan  horse  has  his  place  in  trotting  horse 
history,  a  place  that  he  attained  through  sheer  force 
of  merit,  and  while  he  may  have  been  over-praised 
by  certain  of  our  good  friends,  there  is  no  denying 
the  fact  that  he  has  proved  himself  far  better  than 
his  one-time  opponents  would  have  had  us  believe  he 
was.  In  these  days  of  practical  horsemen  there  is  less 
tribe  worship  than  formerly  obtained.  But  the  Mor- 
gans, like  all  others  of  merit,  have  come  to  their 
own.  Their  place  in  history  is  as  permanent  as  it  is 
eminent. — Grattan,  in  Kentucky  Stock  Farm. 


"Onlooker"   writes   to   the  American  Horse   Breed' 
the    following    interesting    gossip    about    the    sale 
Cresceus: 

Before  the  sale  of  Cresceus  there  was  much  spec 
la  tion  indulged  in  as  to  the  probable  price  that 
would  bring;  guesses  ranged  all  the  way  from  $70' 
to  §75,000.  There  were  just  two  bids  on  him — the  fii 
at  520,000,  and  it  took  Auctioneer  Bain  considera: 
time  to  find  the  man  who  made  the  offer,  so  quie 
did  he  speak,  and  then  Mr.  Savage's  bid  of  $21.0' 
at  which  figure  he  was  knocked  down  to  the  Mi: 
neapolis.  horseman. 

Doubtless  the  fact  that  Cresceus  has  but  five  in  f 
list,  and  none  of  them  notable,  though  we  believe  tl 
majority  of  his  get  are  but  yearlings  and  two  ye; 
olds,  and  that  his  future  earning  capacity  depem 
entirely  on  his  stud  career,  operated  to  keep  do- 
the  price  on  him,  and  doubtless  the  odium  attached 
the  "Wichita  scandal  had  its  effect,  too. 

Probably   two    or   three   years   ago   he   would   ha 
brought   at   least   three   times   what   he   sold   for  laj 
week      "We   are    informed   on    reliable   authority    th; 
Ketcham  refused  an  offer  of  $105,000  for  him,  made  b; 
a  "Winnipeg  syndicate  at  the  winter  meeting  at  Otta' 
in  February,    1904. 

That  Cresceus  is  the  greatest  trotter,  taking  him 
all  in  all,  that  the  world  has  ever  seen,  will,  we  think, 
be  acknowledged  by  every  candid  horseman.  As  tu 
his  success  or  non-success  in  the  stud  it  is,  of  course, 
too  early  to  declare  positively  one  way  or  the  other, 
but  it  is  not  too  early  to  say  that  up  to  the  present  his 
get  have  not  made  good  the  expectation  of  him  as  & 
sire,  and  there  is  no  question  that  he  has  been  bred 
to  some  of  the  best  mares  in  the  country.  It  is  not 
reasonable  to  suppose  that  the  colts  sired  by  him 
during  his  first  seasons  in  the  stud,  after  such  strenu- 
ous campaigns  as  he  went  through,  will  prove  his 
best.  We  shall  look  for  his  later  foals  to  be  better. 
It  is  altogether  likely  that  he  will  sire  some,  per- 
haps many,  good  trotters,  and,  perhaps,  too,  some 
great  trotters,  but  it  must  be  conceded  that  "perhaps" 
implies  a  future  contingency,  a  matter  of  speculation. 
Horsemen  are  getting  more  critical  and  exacting  every 
year,  and  therefore  more  reluctant  to  put  down  their 
coin  for  "may.  bes."  Their  touchstone  is  "show  me." 
and  especially  for  a  sire  to  head  a  stud,  particularly 
when  to  procure  such  involves  the  expenditure  of  a 
large  sum  of  money. 

Mr,  Savage  will  give  Cresceus  the  best  of  opportu- 
nities to  demonstrate  his  ability  as  a  sire,  for  he  will 
be  well  advertised,  and  Mr.  Savage  does  not  believe 
in  excessive  stud  service  for  a  horse.  He  will  limit 
him  to  not  more  than  60  mares  the  season.  Of  course 
Cresceus  is  worth  more  to  Mr.  Savage  than  to  any 
other  man,  for  in  securing  him  he  has  got  a  champion 
trotter,  the  most  famous  in  the  history  of  the  light- 
harness  horse,  as  a  stable  companion  to  the  champion 
pacer,  Dan  Patch,  and  as  an  advertisement  for  his 
_products  the  pair  will  be  a  great  card.

NEW    YORK    DRIVING    CLUB    REORGANIZED. 


The  Xew  York  Driving  Club,  or  the  former  organ- 
ization of  amateur  horsemen,  with  headquarters  at 
the  Empire  City  track,  went  out  of  existence  Novem- 
ber 21st,  at  a  meeting  held  at  the  Victoria  Hotel,  ac- 
cording to  the  Telegraph.  About  fifty  horsemen  at- 
tended the  gathering  upon  the  invitation  of  President 
Charles  C.  Lloyd,  and  while  the  press  was  excluded 
by  the  latter's  orders,  yet  enough  leaked  out  to  show 
that  a  very  stormy  session  was  held.  Dr.  H.  S.  Gill 
president  of  the  Boad  Drivers'  Association,  was  pres- 
ent with  several  of  the  leading  members,  and  it  was 
mainly  through  his  efforts  that  the  name  at  least 
was  preserved. 

After  calling  the  meeting  to  order  Mr.  Lloyd  an- 
nounced that  the  Xew  York  Driving  Club  was  no 
more  He  explained  that  the  original  club  had  only 
eleven  members,  who  were  interested  in  the  purchase 
of  the  Yonkers  track,  but  those  now  hiving  disposed 
of  their  holdings  to  James  Butler,  the  organization 
is  now  gone  out  of  existence.  He  said  that  Mr.  Butler 
has  now  decided  not  to  allow  the  use  of  his  track  and 
the  grounds  to  the  horsemen,  and  moved  that  the 
meeting  be  adjourned.  The  horsemen,  however,  re- 
fused to  carry  the  motion,  and  upon  the  advice  of 
Dr.  Gill,  followed  with  a  strong  speech  by  W.  J- 
Clark,  decided  to  preserve  the  name  of  the  "Xew  York 
Driving  Club."  Upon  a  second  motion  a  committee 
cf  nine  were  chosen  to  look  for  a  track  where  regular 
matinees  can  be  held  during  the  summer  season. 

Among  those  present  was  Alfred  Reeves,  secretary 

and    treasurer    of   the    two    amateur    associations    for 

irs  until  last  spring,  but  who,  upon  the  urgent 

request   of  the  horsemen,   again   accepted   his   former 

position,  much  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  members. 

Se  :ral  tracks  in  the  vicinity  of  Xew  York  were 
suggested,  but  the  most  available  appears  to  be  the 
good  half  mile  oval  at  Orangeburg,  sixteen  miles  from 
the  city. 

John  L.  Dodge,  former  president  of  the  Road  Driv- 
ers and  owner  of  the  track,  told  the  horsemen  present 
that  they  could  use  the  track,  stalls  and  clubhouse 
each  week  absolutely  free  of  charge  There 
,,...  i  200  comfortabli  stalls,  with  all  the  latest 
improvements,  two  artesian  wells,  and  the  clubhouse 
has  thirty  rooms  to  accommodate  horsemen  in  case 
they  desire  to  spend  the  night  there. 

Groups  of  horsemen  were  seen  discussing  Ih 

of  the  meeting  and  almost   all  appi  for  the 

turn    the    matter    took.      They    now    belli  ve    that    the 

rganized   club,    under   the    direct   man- 

I ioj ■■■■         i    will  draw  more  members 

r    itlm  es    and    bring    it    to    its    former    high 

ling. 


WAS   JOHN    NELSON'S    DAM    A    MORGAN? 

A  writer  in  the  Newark,  X.  J..  Call  says:  Mr.  Al- 
fred A.  Snyder,  who  died  two  weeks  ago  in  Montclair, 
once  owned,  jointly  with  his  father,  the  trotting  sire 
John  Nelson,  for  whose  correct  breeding  very  per- 
sistent search  has  been  made  by  historians  of  the 
American  trotting  horse  John  Nelson  was  foaled  in 
1851.  and  his  breeding  has  been  accepted — as  by  imp. 
Trustee — except  that  his  dam  is  in  doubt.  The  Sny- 
ders  came  into  possession  of  the  horse  in  1855.  He 
was  at  that  time  in  training  on  Long  Island  in  the 
hands  of  John  Xelson,  from  whom  he  took  his  name. 
Mr.  Snyder  paid  §400  for  a  half  interest  in  the  horse. 
The  firm  owned  the  horse  until  the  spring  of  18m 
and  then  sold  him  to  Horace  F.  Jones,  who  kept  t> 
stable  in  Mercer  street,  near  Prince,  in  Xew  York. 
While  the  Snyders  owned  him  he  showed  a  mile  in 
2:36.  Mr.  Jones  returned  the  horse  to  John  Xelson 
for  further  training,  and  during  1S5&  sold  the  horse 
to  California  parties  Mr.  Alfred  Snyder  stated  to  ifl 
writer  that  the  dam  of  John  Xelson  was  not  by  Aa- 
dallah,  as  generally  credited,  but  by  one  of  the  Ver- 
mont Morgans.  He  saii  that  he  had  frequently  chal- 
lenged anyone  to  prove  that  John  Xelson's  dam  was 
the  Redmond  mare.  The  horse,  he  said,  was  only 
four  years  old  when  he  came  into  his  possess!™ 
and  his  dam  was  well  known,  but  in  the  lapse  of 
years  he  had  forgotten  which  of  the  Vermont  M  - 
was  her  sire.  He  was  firm,  however,  in  his  de 
tion  that  John  Nelscn's  dam  was  a  Morgan,  anil  there 
never  was  the  slightest  question  about  it  where  iff 
horse  was  known. 

Mr.    Snyder's   claim   that    the    cam    of  John 
was  a  Vermont   Morgan   is  backe  i    by   Mr.   Newell  ot 
Xew  Brunswick,  where  the  horse  was  raised.     When 
Mr.  Snyder  sold  the  horse  he  received  $1,800  for  him. 
Mr.    Snyder    said   that    John    Xelson    was    a    ho   - 
commanding  presence,  matchless  for  beauty  and  con- 
formation     There  were  few  horses,  he  said,  that  con 
compare    with    him    in    style    an  1    general    f.nish.      m 
1855    Mr.    Halsey    Snyder,    father    of    Alfred    SnydS 
bought  a  mare  that  was  in  foa!  to  John  Nels 
the  filly   that   was  foaled  "was   the  first   of  John   Nel- 
son's produce.     This  filly  was  name!  Alice,  and   va? 
long  driven   on   the  road  in  this  vicinity.     Alee   • 
breed   to   a   son   cf  Volunteer,   and   the   result   was  a| 
colt  which  went  by  the  name  of  Good   Templar.     He 
could  trot  in'2:J-0.  and  was  a  g  ster.     He  went 

to  a  stock  farm  in  Colorado.  John  Nelson  was  a  suc- 
cess  in  California.  Besides  having  four  trotters  to 
his  credit  he  sired  the  dam  of  Albert  W.  2:20,  Bonanza 
..  Arol  2:24,  Hazel  2:2S,  Blanche  2:25*4,  Sis® 
V.  2:18%,  and  Valensin  2:23.  His  immediate  produlfe

:*    THOROUGHBRED   DEPARTMENT. 

By    KALfH    H.    TOZEB,  WM 

1  There  was  a  shift  of  the  racing  scene  to  "fair  Ingle- 
de"    last  Monday,   and   as   the   public   believes   that 
irariety   is   the   spice   of  life,"    the   change   was   wel- 
pmed    by    a    large   crowd — this    notwithstanding    the 
pening  day's  program  was  featureless.     But  one  fa- 
prite  got  home  in  front — the  Keene  Bros  '  San  Primo 
-in  consequence  of  which  the  gambler  won  and  the 
kntleman  lost.     However,  the  win  of  To  San  in  the 
iird    event    carded   must    have   cost    the   pencilers   a 
podly   sum,   for   several   "in   the   know"   made   clever 
•lean-ups."     Jockey  Walter  Adams  got  the  St.  Blaise 
tare  off  in  front  and  let  her  set  the  pace,  which  was 
■pt  so  hot  that  she  did  not  have  a  bit  left  to  stall  off 
ie  rush  of  Gossiper  and  Escamado  at  the  wind-up. 
hat  Gossiper  was  best  most  persons  believe,  for  she 
fcpt  off  rather  poorly,  but  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  To 
jan    is   a    better   mare   than   she   is   given   credit   for 
i  ?ing   and   will    prove   it   ere    long,   also    that   Jockey 
idams  is  a  pilot  vastly  underrated  in  his  home  city. 
In  the  Canadian  circuit,  however,  where  he  has  rid- 
'»n   forseveral  years,   Adams   is   thought  to   have  no 
Kiperior,  and  he  has  also   "made  good"  at  Bennings 
(Washington)    and    at    Union    track,    St.    Louis;     The 
lira  fast  win  of  Neva  Lee,  track  considered  on  the 
{pening  day   at   Ingleside,   shows  that   the  big   sister 
.►  Scarborough  is  of  stake   caliber.     She  made  such 
arses   as    Corn   Blossom,   Beau   Ormonde  and   Judge 
j  ok  like  §300  selling  platers.     I  well  remember  when 
iiis    filly    was    disposed    of    at    the    Winters    sale   for 
gnething  less  than  $500,  and  how  mad  Mr.  W.  got  at 
1'ie  failure  of  horsemen  to  bid  something  within  rea- 
lm for  the  stock  offered. 

1    The    Ingleside   track   is   not   a    "fast"    course   these 
ays,  and  I  much  doubt  the  ability  of  anyone  to  reh- 
sr  it  "fast*'  ever  again.     Those  horses  who  run  best 
Ver  a  heavy  track  will  do  splendidly  at  Ingleside. 
The   dispersal  of  the   great  Rancho   del  Paso   Stud 
■oks  to  me  very  much  like  a  "weeding-out"  sale,  for 
I    will   be   noted   that  "Watercress   and   all   the   other 
.allions    (and   mares)    that   have   shown   their   worth 
ill  find  their  way  to  Elmendorf,  J.  B.  Haggin's  Ken- 
mfky  principality.     The  removal  of  this  immense  lot 
Ie   horses    from    California    will   be   beneficial   to    the 
(olden  State  breeders  and  doubtless  result  in  better 
rices  for  Golden  State  yearlings  and  an  increase  in 
I  ie  number  of  thoroughbred  horses,  bred  in  the  State 
[y  those  Then  who  remain  in  the  breeding  business. 
|ancho    del   Paso,    with    its    hundreds    of   horses   and 
i  rge  numbers  not  sent  to  the  sales  at  the  East  be- 
i  tuse  of  injuries  received  or  the  belief  that  they  were 
3t    "fashionably    bred"    enough    to    command    good 
I  :ices,    were    turned    over    to    horsemen    here    with 
U  horn     S  uperintendent    John    Mackey    was    friendly, 
hid    these    youngsters    were    secured    on    such    easy 
rms  that  it  was  not  necessary  for  men  to  go  to  the 
i  des  and  pay  "red  money"  for  their  gallopers.    There- 
re  but  few  took  any  chance,  in  a  financial  way,  and 
the    horses    secured    on    such    easy    terms    proved 
|  orthless,  there  were  always  others  to  be  had  again 
li  almost   the   turfman's   own   terms.      Now   all   this 
ill   be   changed,   and  if  a  man   wants    to.  remain   in 


"the  same"  he  will  have  to  "take  a  chance"  at  least, 
and  the  dispersal  of  Rancho  del  Paso  Stud  will  put  a 
lot  of  buyers  on  the  market,  and  with  competition 
will  come  considerable  increase  in  the  prices  for 
thoroughbred  horses  in  this  part  of  the  world.  There- 
fore, as  remarked  before,  the  dispersal  of  Rancho  del 
Paso  Stud  will  be  beneficial  to  California  breeders. 

It  was  rather  surprising  to  me  to  see  Thomas  H. 
Williams  buying  yearlings  at  the  Burns  &  Waterhouse 
sale,  because  he  has  expressed  himself  as  being  ad- 
verse to  racing  thoroughbreds  when  in  the  "vealy" 
state.  Perhaps  he  will  not  send  his  young  racers  to 
the  races  until  August  or  September,  thus  making  his 
past  contention  good.  It  was  evident  that  larger 
prices  would  have  been  realized  for  the  B.  &  W. 
youngsters  had  not. Mr.  Williams  been  such  a  promi- 
nent purchaser.  In  the  first  place,  suspicious  persons 
might  have  thought  the  jockey  club  president  knew 
the  real  good  ones  in  the  sale,  and  in  the  next,  knew 
they  would  have  to  "loosen  up"  a  lot  if  they  outbid 
the  head  of  racing  affairs  here. 

Rubric,  Henry  McDaniel's  Mirthful  colt,  is  the  speed 
marvel  of  the  season  at  Los  Angeles  thus  far.  Last 
Monday  he  ran  seven  furlongs  in  1:26%,  winning 
eased  up,  and  good  judges  believe  he  could  have  gone 
the  route  in  about  1:25%.  Jockey  Buchanan  is  much 
in  evidence  at  Ascot  these  days,  and  a  new-comer,  H. 
Moore,  is  also  attracting  much  attention  by  his  riding. 
Now  that  W.  Miller  has  arrived,  there  should  be 
considerable  rivalry  between  this  boy  and  Buchanan. 

Bearcatcher  broke  the  mile  race  record  of  the  Pa- 
cific slope  last  Saturday  when  he  went  the  distance 
in  1:38-%  with  117  pounds  up,  winning  with  a  bit  to 
spare  after  getting  away  none  too  well.  McBride  let 
the  St.  George  colt  get  well- on  his  stride  before  he 
let  him  down,  and  though  Princess  Titania  set  a 
heart-breaking  pace  the  first  half  and  clearly  had  San 
Nicholas  beaten  (the  black  horse  had  run  six  fur- 
longs the  day  before  in  1:12  flat  with  IIS  pounds  up), 
"the  bear"  was  well  in  front  three  furlongs  from 
home,  and  won  with  ease  in  1:38%.  "Tou  will  notice 
that  I'nvtolerable  gray  for  a  young  man,"  said  Garnett 
Ferguson  after  he  had  got  through  receiving  congrat- 
ulations over  Bearcatcher's  victory,  "and  nearly  every 
gray  hair  was  placed  there  by  'the  Bear.'  as  they  call 
him.  He  has  had  catarrhal  fever,  lung  fever  and 
several  other  kinds  of  fever,  bad  feet  and  everything 
that  horses  are  heir  to,  and  last  summer  he  broke 
down  flat  on  me  when  just  breezing  to  Artful.  He 
moved  up  to  the  speed  marvel  several  times,  and 
Lyne  would  keep  him  from  coming  through,  no  mat- 
ter where  he'd  try.  Then  he  broke  down,  and  fin- 
ished second  at  that.  J.  W.  Rogers,  trainer  of  Artful, 
remarked  to  me  after  the  race  that  Bearcatcher  was 
the  only  galloper  he  ever  saw  that  could  breeze  to 
Artful.  I  am  satisfied  Bearcatcher  could  beat  Artful, 
big  as  this  may  sound;  in  fact,  I  don't  believe  any 
horse  ever  lived  with  more  speed  than  he.  The  only 
wonder  is  'the  Bear's'  alive,  let  alone  being  the  winner 
of  twenty-eight  races  out  of  thirty-three  starts."  I 
respectfully  refer  readers  to  my  article  in  the  Christ- 
mas number  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  of  1904, 
as  to  what  I  thought  of  Bearcatcher.  At  that  time 
I  put  him  in  front  of  Beldame  or  any  other  racer  in 
America. 

In  the  death  of  Captain  Samuel  S.  Brown,  the 
Pittsburg  multimillionaire,  the  American  turf  loses 
one  of  its  staunchest  supporters  and  the  breeding 
ranks  one  of  its  leading  lieutenants.  Captain  Brown 
has  been  prominent  on  the  turf  for  about  thirty  years. 


He  owned  several  Buckdens  along  about  1880,  and 
Matinee  was  the  pride  of  his  stable  at  one  time.  Then 
came  Troubadour,  who  won  the  Suburban  handicap 
and  $110,000  in  bets  for  Captain  Brown  in  that  race 
in  1SS6.  Senorita,  best  daughter  of  imp  Prince  Char- 
lie, followed  Troubadour,  and  so  enamored  was  the 
millionaire  of  this  great  mare  that  he  named  his  stock 
farm  after  her.  Broomstick  gained  great  fame  in  the 
Brown  colors  in  1903  and  1904,  and  this  season  Agile 
has  kept  up  the  reputation  of  the  string.  Captain 
Brown  owned  the  Lexington  track,  which  was  estab- 
lished in  1S26,  and  had  made  nearly  5100,000  worth  of 
improvements  there  in  the  past  eighteen  months.  It 
is  said  the  genial  captain  left  Senorita  Farm  and  100 
of  his  horses  to  Max  Samuelson,  his  financial  agent 
and  confidential  man  on  the  turf.  The  Lexington 
track  will  be  operated  by  the  estate's  managers  for  the 
next  ten  years. 

Nearly  $15,000  was  realized  at  the  dispersal  sale 
of  George  Davis  of  Pleasanton.  at  Chase's  salesyard 
last  Tuesday  night.  The  thirteen  thoroughbreds  were 
bid  in:    the  trotters  brought  fair  sums. 

The  106  horses  of  Major  B.  G.  Thomas  and  Colonel 
W.  L.  Simmons,  sold  by  the  Fasig-Tipton  Co.  at  Lex- 
ington. Ky..  last  Tuesday,  brought  $22,325,  showing 
that  the  market  for  thoroughbred  mares  is  not  in  a 
very  healthy  condition. 

Manager  J.  W.  Brooks  of  Los  Angeles  offered  a 
$2500  purse  for  a  six  furlong  race  between  Handzarra. 
Cruzados  and  Bearcatcher,  to  settle  the  sprinting 
championship  of  the  Coast,  but-  the  new  California 
Jockey  Club  secured  the  last  named  pair  to  race  today 
at  five  and  one-half  furlongs  over  the  Ingleside  track 
for  a  $1500  purse.  A  banner  crowd  is  expected  for 
these  are  absolutely  the  fastest  horses  in  training  on 
the  Coast,  and  it  is  doubtful  if  speedier  ones  were  ever 
seen  in  this  part  of  the  world. 

The  death  of  Captain  S.  S.  Brown  was  a  severe 
blow  to  the  American  Turf  Association,  which  had 
the  best  wishes  and  coin  of  the  multimillionaire  back 
of  it. 

Ichlana,  the  good  St.  Gatien  mare  in  George  Went- 
worth's  stable,  died  last  Wednesday.  She  has  been 
ill  ever  since  being  shipped  from  Spokane  last  Octo- 
ber, and  stood  up  in  her  stall  for  thirty-two  days. 
The  mare  was  a  winner  in  good  company  at  the  far 
East,  here  and  at  Los  Angeles,  and  was  valued  at 
$4,000.  C.  T.  Henshall  brought  Ichlana  to  the  Coast 
to  race,  and  she  was  bred  at  Rancho  del  Paso. 

John  Mackey  has  recovered  from  his  recent  illness. 
Matt   Byrnes   is   getting  together  a   good   string   of 
English  horses  to  race  around  New  York  for  a  wealthy 
Wall  streeter  named  J.  W.  Hennings. 

H.  T.  Oxnard  bought  the  game  American  Derby 
winner,  Sidney  Lucas,  at  a  sale  in  New  York  on 
Wednesday  for  $1,600. 

Clandestine,  the  winner  of  the  third  race  Wednes- 
day for  the  Keene  Bros ,  was  boosted  from  $400  to 
$800.  Toupee  was  "lifted"  from  $1,200  to  $1,800  by 
C.  C.  McCafferty,  who  secured  the  gelding,  and  F. 
Gabriel,  former  owner  of  Toupee,  claimed  Instructor 
for  $1,325  from  the  Needmore  Stable. 

Dr.  H.  E  Rowell  is  training  the  yearlings  recently 
purchased  by  Thomas  H-  Williams  at  the  Burns  & 
Waterhouse  sale,  and  will  in  all  probability  handle 
the  Jockey  Club  president's  flyers  at  the  East  next 
season. 

A  big  coup  was  attempted  last  Wednesday  with 
Veteran,  and  he  ran  a  good  fourth  on  a  fine  field, 
most  of  the  money  going  on  at  100  to  1.

PENETRATION    AND   VELOCITY. 


The  test  of  velocity  as  a  means  of  judging  the  pene- 
tration  of  a   charge   of  shot  has,  from  time  to   time, 
elicited  much  criticism.    The  differences  of  opinion  be- 
tween the  old  and  the  new  schools  may,  perhaps,  be 
diminished    reviewing    the    developments    which    have 
■  l.     Black  powder  was  so  stable  an  explosive, 
and  its  action  so  little  open  to  variations  of  one  kind 
other,  that  a  rough  and  ready  test  of  penetra- 
ivay  of  shooting  at  a  gunpowder  tin  was  suf- 
lo  judge   the  strength  of  the  charge,  provided 
the    pattern    was    already   known    to    be    satisfactory. 
Close  observation  of  results  and  ingenious  theorizing 
i"   elucidate   hidden   truths   provided   the   nearest   ap- 
that    was    then   possible  to   scientific   gun   ex- 
periments.    At  such    a    time   the   sportsman   occupied 
as  favorable  a  position  as  the  trade  expert  for  making 
the  kind  of  test  which  was  then  regarded  as  determin- 
ing the  i  i  the  gun  or  shell.     The  very  enthus- 
b    these    researches    were    conducted 
ed   the  way  for  the  series  of  develop- 
ments   which    have    carried    experimental    gun    work 
reach   of   the   ordinary  shooter.     The  sci- 
entist hi                  trrled  things  so  far  that  the  mission 
of   instructing  sportsmt  n  i    entirely   confined 
i'inhig  in  the  language  of  the  elementary  text- 
book the  experiments  which    in   nov   conducted  to  de- 
termine the  behavior  of  guns  and  nitro  powder.

rale   lo  the   sp<  u    the  measure- 

over  twei  pj  ovides  an  effi- 

cient   it  iiu-ge   of  shot. 

Mr.  Griffith,  in  hi.-  ■-  rin  •  snts  to  determine 

the  stiii  ol  a  i  harge  of  shot,  fired  at  a  circu- 

lar plati  meter,    which  made  about 

five  and  a  half  revolutions  per  second.     It  was  shown 


that  at  twenty  yards,  the  charge  of  shot  had  strung 
out  over  a  distance  of  about  forty  inches,  whereas 
at  forty  yards,  nearly  nine  feet,  separated  the  front 
from  the  back  pellets  of  the  charge.  These  figures  are 
constantly  brought  up  against  us  as  evidence  of  the 
fact  that  chronographic  measurements  take  account 
only  of  the  behavior  of  the  front  pellets  of  the  charge. 
A  careful  examination  of  the  diagrams  reproduced 
on  page  51  of  Parti.,  of  "Sporting  Guns  and  Gunpow- 
ders," shows  that  90  per  cent,  at  least  of  the  total 
number  of  pellets  which  struck  the  target  at  twenty 
yards  range  are  concentrated  into  a  little  over 
twenty  inches.  Considering  that  at  the  usual  sport- 
ing distances  the  shot  is  traveling  with  more  than  ten 
times  the  velocity  of  the  bird,  it  would  seem  as  though 
for  all  practical  purposes  the  twenty  yards  velocity 
test  might  be  regarded  as  fully  covering  the  behavior 
of  the  entire  charge.  Mr.  Borland  spent  a  consider- 
able amount  of  time,  and  his  company  no  doubt  con- 
tributed a  proportional  amount  of  money,  to  analyze 
still  further  the  measurement  of  velocity.  The  ar- 
rangement used  registered  alternatively  the  arrival 
of  th  first  pellets  and  the  whole  charge.  The  fact  that 
Mr.  Borland  employs  the  ordinary  method  of  testing 
velocity  over  twenty  yards  for  the  routine  work  in- 
cidental to  the  manufacture  of  E.  C.  powder  seems 
to  suggest  that  he,  at -any  rate,  after  trying  both 
methods,  is  satisfied  that  the  simple  arrangement  is 
also  the  best. 

If  a  shell  gives  a  suitable  velocity  over  twenty 
yards,  as  judged  by  present  day  standards,  it  seems 
impossible  to  understand  how  it  can  give  abnormal 
results  at  other  distances.  In  the  course  of  a  year 
hundreds  of  tons  of  powder  are  graded  and  regulated 
on  the  twenty  yards  test,  and  no  one  appears  yet  to 
have  discovered  a  single  instance  in  which  a  correctly 
regulated  powder  gives  indifferent  results  when  prop- 
erly loaded  and  fired  in  an  ordinary  gun.  Experi- 
ence again  confirms  the  obvious  conclusion  that  a 
powder  with  a  weak  velocity  proves  deficient  in  pene- 
tration when  tried  on  game.  In  a  similar  manner 
an  excess  of  velocity,  however  it  may  be  produced, 
is  at  all  times  liable  to  produce  such  a  scattering  ef- 
fect of  the  pellets  as  will  diminish  the  effectiveness 
of  the  shooting.  There  is.  therefore,  overwhelming 
evidence  that  the  velocity  test  of  penetration  is  com- 
pltely  satisfactory  from  whatever  point  of  view  it 
may  be  regarded.  Notwithstanding  this  weight  of 
evidence,  it  has  been  held  that  every  gun  must  be 
considered  as  a  thing  apart,  and  that  the  velocity 
test  of  a  shell  affords  no  index  of  how  it  will  behave 
in  a  given  gun.  It  is  just  the  particle  of  truth  under- 
lying this  statement  which  makes  it  difficult  to  pro- 
vide a  comprehensive  answer.  If  the  generality  of 
guns  in  use  are  regarded  as  complying  within  ap- 
proximate limits  to  a  pre-determined  st: 
clear  enough  that  a  million  of  shells  cbhfi 
der  which  has  passed  the  velocity  and  other"  tests, 
will  give  better  results  in  the  aggregate  than  a  simi- 
lar number  of  shells  complying  with  a  different  spec- 
ification. If  every  gun  in  which  these  shells  are  used 
could  be  subjected  to  a  special  test  for  velocity,  there 
is  no  doubt  that  a  definite  proportion  of  them  would 
be  found  to  give  abnormal  behavior.  The  proper 
remedy  to  adopt  would  be  to  alter  those  guns  which 
are  susceptible  to  alteration,  and  to  throw  out  of  use 
the  others,  which,  by  reason  of  excessively  large 
chambers,  badly  shaped  cones,  or  unduly  wide  bar- 
rels are  found  to  be  deficient  in  necessary  material. 
Failing  the  mechanical  remedy,  some  improvement 
might  might  be  made  by  modifying  the  charge  of 
powder  so  as  to  correct  in  some  measure  the  bad 
behavior  of  the  gun.  Such  a  course  is  bad,  because  it 
admits  the  principle  of  correcting  a  fault  in  the  gun 
by  introducing  another  in  the  shell. 

The  above  observation  seems  to  imply  the  need  for 
every  gunmaker  to  test  the  velocity  of  every  gun 
before  sale,  with  properly  loaded  shells.  Such  a  sug- 
gestion is,  however,  impracticable,  but  it  neverthe- 
less carries  with  it  a  useful  indication  of  the  means 
which  should  be  adopted  to  make  the  generality  of 
guns  so  that  they  may  produce  the  results  anticipated 
by  the  powder,  manufacturer  when  he  regulates  his 
product.  At  the  time  when  we  were  engaged  In  su- 
pervising the  manufacture  of  our  experimental  bar- 
rels for  testing  sporting  cartridges,  says  the  Field, 
it  became  necessary  to  work  out  a  specification  for 
the  chamber,  cone,  and  bore  which  would  give  a 
proper  shandard  of  velocity  The  early  barrels  were 
found  to  give  an  extraordinary  excess  above  the  ex- 
pected amount  of  velocity.  This  abnormality  was 
traced  to  the  dimensions  of  the  chamber  and  the 
shape  of  the  cone.  When  the  barrel  had  been  ad- 
justed to  a  new  set  of  dimensions  a  specification 
was  arrived  at,  which  proved  to  give  satisfactory  re- 
sults in  all  barrels  subsequently  manufactured.  The 
gunmaker  who  carried  out  this  work  on  our  behalf 
at  once  appreciated  the  importance  of  this  discovery, 
and  he  instantly  put  in  hand  a  set  of  gauges  and 
cutting  tools  to  control  his  own  output  on  the  lines 
approved  by  our  tests. 

We  have  been  instrumental  in  other  directions  in 
privately  initiating  the  same  useful  reform,  and  it  has 
been  interesting  to  find,  whenever  the  opportunity 
lias  arisan  for  testing  subsequent  output,  that  all  the 
guns  controlled  by  the  gauges  so  determine  1  have 
given  the  correct  amount  of  velocity.  Such  an  expert"^" 
ence  seems  to  demonstrate  the  utility  of  the  twenty- 
yards  velocity  test  as  a  means  of  regulating  the  be- 
havior not  only  of  the  catridge  but  of  the  gun  as  well.

To   insure  a  -repetition  of  the  proof  barrel  results 
the  sportman's  own  weapon,  it  is  clear  that  the  gu: 
should   be    chambered  and  bored  truly  to   gauge, 
the  gun  is  incorrect  in  these  respects  the  sportsman 
will  suffer  more  or  less,  according  to  the  amount  of 
error  existing.    He  cannot  gain  any  useful  information*    [ 
from  pentration  tests;  and  without  a  large  amount  o*< 
experience,  which  in  the  nature  of  things  he  cannot 
possess,  it  is  impossible  for  him  to  learn  much  from 
examining  patterns  on  the  whitewashed  plate. 

The  regulation  of  the  gun  is  purely  and   simply  a 
question  for  the  gunmaker,  and  it  is  in  the  selection 
of  a  man  who  knows  his  business  that  the  sportsmai 
stands    his    best    and    only    chance    of   getting   a    gi 
which    will    include,    among    the    many    attributes 
successful  use  in  the  field,  a  form  of  chamber  and  bo; 
capable  of  showing  the  shells  on  its  best  behavior. 

From  what  has  been  said,  it  will  be  apparent  that 
the  sportsman's  own  tests  of  thirty  years  ago  mus"t 
now  be  dismissed  as  embodying  superstitions  of  the 
middle  ages  To  attempt  to  prove  that  the  stringing 
effect  of  the  shot  is  a  factor  which  the  practical 
sportsman  must  bear  in  mind  is  on  a  par  with  the 
assumption  that  pentration  can  be  judged  by  exam- 
ining the  characteristics  of  the  splash  the  pellet 
makes  on  the  target.  The  only  test  which  comes  t( 
us  from  the  days  preceeding  modern  electrical  dl 
velopments  is  that  of  the  whitewashed  plate.  Evel 
this  is  of  secondary  importance  to  the  proper  gaug- 
ing of  the  interior  of  the  barrel.  To  correct  the  shoot- 
ing  of  a  gun  without  regard  to  the  shape  of  t 
chamber  and  cone  is  blind  groping  in  the  dark. 

Pattern  tests  are  certainly  of  very  great  use  in  d< 
terminging  the  selection  of  charges  and  the  choice  of 
a   suitable    size   of   shot.     At   a   time   when   the   gun 
maker  controls  his  output  with  standard  gauges,  and 
the  powder  manufacturer  is  clear  as  to  the  charactei 
istics   that   must   be   imparted   to    the    explosive, 
finally,    when    sportsmen    appreciate    the    important 
of  a   sound   system  of  loading,   the  most  satisfacto: 
test   of  the  joint  behavior  of  a  gun  and  shell 
game.  A  distinct  impression  remains  after  each  day's 
sport   as   to   whether   or   not   one's   individual    contri- 
bution to  the  bag  has  been  in  proportion  to  the  skill 
exercised,  and  it  is  by  the  guidance  so  derived  that 
the  sportsman  will  be  able  to  select  from  the  recog- 
nized charges  available  the  particular  combination  of 
powder   and   shot  that  best  suits   his   own  particular 
gun  and  style  of  shooting.

THE    PLAINSMAN'S    SIXTH    SENSE. 


"Did  you  ever  hear  of  the  plainsman's  sixth  sense?'' 
asked  W  D.  King,  Jr.,  who  was  one  of  a  little  group 
of  sportsmen  in  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.'s  sporting 
goods  store  on  Market  street  the  other  day.  "It  is 
a  thing  that  has  often  puzzled  me  in  knocking  about 
among  the  ranchmen   of  Montana. 

"I  myself  have  seen  this  sixth  sense  manifest  itself 
under  extraordinary  conditions  and  have  known  of 
lots  of  instances  in  which  it  operated  with  almost  the 
precision  of  a  special  providence.  And  yet,  although 
I've  done  my  best  to  get  it  out  of  the  ranchmen,  I 
never  found  one  who  could  explain  it. 

"There    was    the    time,    for    instance,    when    Prairie 
Dog  Jenkins  detected  a  ranch  eight  miles  away  by  the 
of    the    sixth    sense.      Prairie    Dog    was    an    old 

nter  and  one  of  the  best  cowmen  in  Montana.  In 
the  ^summer  of  1890  he  and  Dynamite  Dick  went  up 
FaiforT  creek  together,  a  country  that  Dynamite  Di 
had  not  been  in  for  ten  years,  and  Prairie  Dog  nevei 

"They  were  riding  along  eight  or  nine  miles  from 
Witherby's  ranch  one  day  about  2  o'clock  when  Prai- 
rie Dog  said  to  Dick. 

"'Pretty  near  a  ranch,  aren't  we?' 

"  'No,'  said  Dick,  for  Witherby  had  taken  up  his 
ranch  since  Dick  had  been  in  the  country. 

"  'Must  be,'  returned  Prairie  Dog.  T  smell  '\ 
making  coffee.  It's  that  way,'  he  went  on,  pointing 
a   certain   direction. 

"And,  Prairie  Dog  leading  and  Dick  following,  they 
rode  straight  as  a  string  till  they  rode  into  Witherby's 
back  yard. 

"As  they  sat  around  the  table  eating  the  chuck  t 
hoys  got  for  them,  Dynamite  Dick,  thinking  to 
funny,  told  how  Prairie  Dog  had  smelled  their  coffi 
eight  miles  away.  There  was  no  other  ranch  near 
than  forty  miles  in  those  days.  Then  one  of  t 
fellows    asked: 

"'What  time  was  it  you  smelled  the  coffee?' 

"'About    2,'   said   Prairie  Dog. 

"The  boys  looked  at  each  other,  and  then  they 
looked   at   Prairie   Dog.      Then: 

"  'Two  of  the  hoys  got  in  late,'  they  said,  'so  we 
made  a  fire  and  were  making  fresh  coffee  for  them. 
And  it  was  just  about   2   o'clock' 

"Now,  in  that  case,"  continued  King,  "you  might 
say  the  sixth  sense  was  nothing  but  an  extraordinarily 
sensitive  nose.  But  it  was  something  more  spiritual 
than  a  mere  nose  that  guided  'Frisco  Frank  when  he 
and  Ned  Carruth  lost  their  way  to  the  bull  camp, 

"One   summer   all   the   bulls   from   the   country  jui 
south  of  Terry  were  gathered  in  a  big  pasture  on  th 
Yellowstone.      In    the   fall,   when   the   other   cattlern 
took  their  bulls  out  of  camp,  F^ank  and  Ned  were 
not   on   hand   for  some   reason,   so   they  decided  they 
would   go   together. 

"It  was  about  thirty  miles  to  the  bull  camp,  through 
an  unfamiliar  country,  and  what  with  starting  rather 
late  and  one,  thing  and  another  the  men  lost  heir 
bearings.  As  it  was  getting  along  toward  evening  they 
thought  they'd  better  strike  a  place  for  the  night  and 
go  on  next  day. 

"They  had  heard  that  a  sheep  man  had  a  tent  out 
and  a  man  herding  sheep,  and  though  neither  had  the 
ghost  of  an  idea  where  to  find  it,  they  decided  to 
spend  the  night  there.  So  they  stopped  and  studied 
the    landscape. 

"  'Well,  you're  the  doctor,'  said  Ned.  'Which  way 
shall  we  go?' 

"Frisco  Frank  rode  up  on  a  butte  and  took  a  squint

■  round  the  horizon,  and  then  pointed  without  hesita- 
tion. 

"  'Let's  go  that  way,'  he  said. 

"And   after   they   had   ridden   about   ten    miles   and 

come  over  a   little   hill   right   down   below  them  in  a 

draw  was  a  tent.     They  were  within  sixty  feet  of  it 

1  before  they  saw  it  at  all.     They  had  hit  on  the  only 

human  habitation  in  all  that  country." 

Before    King    had    concluded    his    narrative,    "Pete 
TVilson"  joined  the  group  and  in  his  usual  generous 
I  style  insisted  on  an  immediate  adjournment  for  "ir- 
rigation"  of  the   inner   man.     After   the   story   teller 
was  through  the  listeners  accepted  Pete's  invitation. 
Whilst  King  was  sipping  his  Napa  soda,  he  counted 
I  heads  and  noticed  that  the  crowd  had  increased  from 
i  rive  to  ten.     This  prompted  him  to  remark: 

"Well,  I  guess  some  of  the  frequenters  of  Sports- 
I  men's  Row  could  'put  it  on'  the  plainsmen  for  sixtli 
sense  if  they  only  had  half  a  chance." 


A   DESERT   BILL  OF    FARE. 


A  party  of  Los  Angeles  sportsmen  were  on  a  duck 
hunting  trip  to  the  Colorado  delta  region  recently. 
Ducks  and  shore  birds  were  so  plentiful  that  the 
sportsmen  soon  had  a  satiety.  On  the  return  a  de- 
tour was  made  to  a  good  quail  shooting  district,  where 
the  trio  of  hunters  found  birds  fairly  numerous  and 
sport  correspondingly  good— that  is,  when  they  could 
get  the  birds  in  a  patch  free  from  cactus. 

One  of  the  party  was  of  an  observing  and  investi- 
gating turn  of  mind— prompted  by  a  brief  visit  to 
an  Indian  rancheria.  The  results  of  inquiry,  as  to 
the  Indian  method  of  supplying  the  larder  and  some 
of  the  things  eaten  evolved  the  following  story  for 
the  Los  Angeles  Times. 

About  some  of  the  Indian  villages  are  to  be  seen 
small  patches  of  maize  or  a  few  tiny  melon  patches, 
but  these  cultivated  areas  are  of  little  account  as 
compared  with  the  number  of  persons  to  be  fed. 
These,  too,  are  exceptions  rather  than  the  rule,  a 
majority  of  the  towns  having  no  such  cultivated  fields. 

In  the  various  parts  of  the  arid  region  which  shel- 
ters so  great  a  portion  of  our  barbarian  population 
is  found  a  tree  remarkable  for  certain  properties.  The 
botanical  name  of  this  plant  is  Prosopis  juliflora.  It 
is  popularly  known  as  the  algaroba,  or  honey  mes- 
quite This  tree  thrives  with  little  moisture,  grows, 
with  thick,  bushy  top,  to  a  height  of  twenty  to  forty 
feet  affords  shelter  from  the  wind  and  sun,  and,  best 
of  all  in  the  sight  of  the  hungry  natives,  it  yields 
abundant  crops  of  fruit  known  as  mesquite  beans. 
The  slim  green  pods  hang  in  clusters  from  the  tips 
of  the  boughs,  often  bending  the  branches  nearly  to 
breaking,  so  abundant  do  they  grow.  The  pods,  which 
are  six  or  seven  inches  long,  are  pulpy,  juicy,  fairly 
palatable  and  nourishing. 

These  beans  are  gathered,  dried  and  stored  in  the 
peculiar  granaries  of  the  Indians— huge  baskets  hold- 
ing several  bushels  each— and  are  pulverized  when 
wanted  for  food  in  wooden  or  stone  mortars,  and  the 
meal  thus  formed  is  soaked  in  water  and  eaten  w.th- 
out  further  preparation  or  it  is  baked  into  a  sort  of 
unleavened  bread  It  is  the  principal  and  favorite 
food  of  several  tribes. 

The  screw  bean  is  another  food  product,  less  plen- 
tiful but  even  more  highly  prized  because  of  its  sug- 
ary qualities.  This  fruit  is  often  eaten  as  plucked 
from  the  tree.  It  ripens  the  latter  part  of  June  or 
July,  a  little  later  than  the  mesquite  bean. 

In  some  of  the  mountain  sections  the  Prunus  an- 
dersonii,  or  chamish,  is  found  in  abundance.  The 
fits  of  this  fruit  are  pounded  in  mortars,  and  the 
meal  is  then  eaten.  There  are  many  varieties  of  the 
cactus  fruit  which  are  utilized  for  food,  the  fruit  of 
the  Opuntia  tuna  or  prickly  pear  being  a  notable  ex- 
ample. 

The  dead  loco  weed,  the  pest  of  the  cattlemen,  is 
a  favorite  with  the  Indians,  for  the  yellow  pods  of 
the  plant  when  pulverized  serve  as  spice  to  render 
some  of  the  otherwise  insipid  dishes  palatable. 

The  roots  of  the  cancer  root  are  roasted  over  live 
coals,  and  when  young,  succulent  and  nourishing  are 
:  prime  favorites  with  the  red  epicureans. 

Flowers  of  the  yucca  and  agave  are  boiled,  dried  and 
preserved  to  be  eaten  as  occasion  requires.  The 
young  shoots  or  crowns  of  these  plants  are  also 
roasted  and  eaten  Seeds  of  the  Artemisia  tridentata 
>r  wormwood  and  the  Ariplex  lentifurm.s  are  pu.- 
erized  and  eaten.  Pine  nuts  form  a  very  important 
tern  of  food  with  many  of  the  tribes  in  the  wooded 
ection  of  the  country,  and  acorns  furnish  other  tribes 

ith  a  large  part  of  their  living. 

There    are    other    herbs   which    are    utilized   by    the 

idians  as  food.     Indeed,  there  are  few  plants  which 

•e  not  capable  of  being  rendered  edible  in  some 
manner.  There  are,  however,  other  things  besides 
plants  which  are  made  to  satisfy  the  pangs  of  hunger. 
In  the  animal  kingdom  are  a  number  of  vanties  o, 
creatures,  not  classed  in  the  game  list  of  the  white 
man,  which  minister  to  the  appetites  and  needs  of 
the  red  man. 

There  are  in  the  southwest,  particularly  in  Cali- 
fornia, bodies  of  bitter,  poisonous  waters  known  as 
boracic  lakes.  Owen's  lake,  twenty  miles  long,  is 
of  this  class.  It  is  a  veritable  Dead  sea,  and,  like 
the  sea  of  that  name  and  its  counterpart,  the  Great 
Salt  lake  of  Utah,  its  heavy,  brackish  waters  do  not 
support  fish   or  marine  life. 

At  certain  seasons  of  the  year  the  waters  of  these 
boracic  lakes  abound  in  white  grubs  known  to  the 
Indians  of  that  region  as  "koochabee."  These  grubs 
are  the  larvae  of  a  two  winged  fly,  the  Ephydra  cali- 
,  fornica.  So  plentiful  are  these  grubs  in  their  season 
!  they  line  the  shores  of  the  lake  to  a  depth  of  several 
inches,  where  the  waves  cast  them  up  from  their 
watery  incubator.  The  Indians  at  this  season  of  the 
year  camp  upon  the  shores  of  the  lake,  gather  this 
peculiar  harvest  and  dry  it  in  the  sun.  Later  the 
grubs  are  ground  in  stone  mortars  into  fine  powder, 
and  from  this  insect  meal  they  bake  a  bread  which 


is  highly  prized. 

There  are  a  number  of  other  insects — lizards,  rep- 
tiles and  the  like — which  are  used  as  food  by  different 
tribes.  The  chuckawalla,  a  lizard  somewhat  resem- 
bling the  Gila  monster,  is  a  common  article  of  food 
with  some  of  the  tribes  north  of  the  line.  It  may 
not  be  the  most  inviting  of  foods — some  of  the  insect 
and  reptilian  foods  are  far  from  palatable — but  tiie 
desert  Indian  is  not  inclined  to  quarrel  with  anything 
which  stops  the  gnawing  beneath  his  belt,  and  he 
evidently  believes  that  "not  that  which  goeth  into 
the  mouth  defileth  the  man." 

The  lizards,  mostly  of  the  chuckawalla  variety,  are 
big.  fat,  lazy  fellows,  seemingly  incapable  of  action 
when  seen  asleep,  or  sunning  themselves,  on  a  flat- 
topped  rock.  Try  to  hit  one  with  a  stick  for  instance: 
all  you  will  see  will  be  a  gray-black  streak  vanishing 
into  a  crack  in  the  rock.  They  are  from  one  to  two 
feet  in  length,  over  half  of  which  is  tail — thick,  round, 
fat  tail,  and  this  is  the  principal  part  that  is  eaten. 
The  flesh,  when  cooked,  is  as  white  as  that  of  the 
tenderest  young  chicken,  and,  so  it  is  claimed,  of  a 
much  better  flavor — being  likened  to  a  mixture  ~be- 
tween  fish  and  young  tree  squirrel  by  one  wrho  has 
sampled  it.  The  Piutes  enclose  these  lizards,  head, 
tail,  entrails  and  all,  in  a  fairly  thick  coating  of  clay 
and  roast  them  in  pits  in  the  ground.  This  dish  has 
a  flavor  of  its  own  that  few  white  mei.  have  the  te- 
merity to  dally  with. 


THE   MONGOOSE. 


Sportsmen  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  have  recently 
been  much  concerned  over  the  ravages  of  the  mon- 
goose, which  animal  is  a  menace  to  the  existence  of 
feathered  game  on  several  of  the  islands. 

Two  varieties  of  pheasants,  the  Mongolian  and  the 
Japanese  blue  pheasant,  promised  to  become  very 
plentiful  on  Miolokai.  California  Valley  quail  throve 
well  in  Oahu  and  the  beautiful  mountain  quail,  there 
called  royal  quail,  found  a  congenial  habitat  on  Molo- 
kai  Island.  Wild  turkeys  offered  good  sport  to  hunt- 
ers who  visit  the  Elwa  and  Walonae  ranges  on  Oahu. 
Chinese  pigeons,  called  doves,  thrive  on  nearly  all  of 
the  islands.  All  of  the  above  varieties  were  success- 
fully introduced  in  the  islands,  but  the  danger  of  final 
extermination  by  the  mongoose  is  steadily  growing. 

The  two  native  varieties  of  game  birds,  the  Ha- 
waiian wild  goose  and  the  Hawaiian  teal  duck,  num- 
ber but  a  few  hundred,  in  isolated  sections,  where 
once  they  were  plentiful,  having  been  nearly  cleaned 
out  by  the  mongoose. 

This  obnoxious  little  beast,  luckily,  has  up  to  the 
present  time  been  confined  to  certain  localities  and 
the  utmost  precaution  is  taken  to  prevent  its  presence 
in  all  of  the  islands  of  the  group. 

The  following  description  of  the  animal,  as  it  is 
found  in  its  native  habitat,  is  by  an  Indian  naturalist: 

"Probably  greater  interest,  curosity  and  speculation 
centers  round  the  mongoose,  his  habits  and  ways, 
than  any  other  of  the  smaller  four-footed  denizens 
of  the  wild  jungles  of  the  East. 

•Intense  interest,  flavored  by  much  human  sym- 
pathy for  the  plucky  little  creature,  is  aroused  by 
the  deadly  and  irreconcilable  hatred  he  bears  to  all 
and  every  species  of  the  snake  tribe  which  no  mat- 
ter, where  or  when  met  w-ith,  whether  larger  or  small, 
deadly  or  harmless,  he  fearlessly  attacks,  exhibiting  at 
the  mere  sight  of  the  reptile  a  violent  and  uncontroll- 
able anger  evinced  by  every  hair  on  his  body  standing 
out  rigid  and  stiff  from  the  skin,  by  a  sharp  hissing 
whistling  call — the  challenge  to  mortal  combat. 

"Our  curiosity  is  keenly  aroused  by  the  wonderful 
immunity  enjoyed  by  the  mongoose  frcm  the  deadly 
fangs,  and  still  more  deadly  poisons  of  the  most 
venomous  species  of  snake,  against  whom  he  wages 
a  ceaseles  racial  war;  and  peculation  is  rife  as  to  the 
causes  of  this  immunity. 

"The  native  of  India  relates  how  the  stricken  mon- 
goose after  killing  his  enemy,  and  having  devoured 
its  brain,  evidently  regarded  in  the  light  of  a  delicacy 
not  to  be  forgone  under  anw  circumstance,  hurries 
off  to  the  depths  of  the  jungles  in  search  of  some 
special  herb,  known  to  the  mongoose  alone,  which 
acts  as  an  immediate  antidote  against  the  most  deadly 
of  poisons. 

"The  ordinary  observer  ascribes  the  safety  of  the 
mongoose  to  his  extraordinary  agility  and  lightning- 
like movements,  but  as  the  snake  stiikes  with  terri- 
ble rapirity  and  certainty,  it  is  difficult  to  believe  that 
the  mongoose  should  escape  every  time,  and  yet  there 
is  no  case  on  record  of  a  mongcose  having  been  bested 
in  a  single  fight,  and  having  paid  the  penalty  of 
death. 

"A  theory  was  advanced  that  inncculation  of  snake 
virus  for  many  generations  of  the  mongoose  family 
had  rendered  them  immune  to  its  deadly  effect;  but 
this  has  been  proved  time  and  again  to  be  a  fallacy, 
as  a  tame  mongoose  purposely  bitten  by  a  deadly 
snake  has  died  within  a  short  time,  exhibiting  all  the 
usual  symptoms  resulting  from  snake  poison.  The 
mongoose  thus  bitten  has  alo  been  let  looe  in  a  cir- 
cumscribed piece  of  wild  jungle  and  has  been  found 
dead,  thus  refuting  the  native  idea  of  the  existence 
of  an  herb  antidote — though  the  possibility  of  the 
herb  not  existing  in  the  circumscribed  piece  of  jungle 
weakens  the  profo.  The  only  theory  put  forward  that 
seems  to  hold  water,  is  that  the  stiff  bristling  hairs 
of  the  angry  mongoose  forms   his  natural  protection. 

"The  long  bristly  hairs  that  cover  the  body  of  the 
mongoose,  from  his  neck  to  the  tip  of  bis  tail,  as  dis- 
tinct from  the  soft  fine  under  fur  with  which  his 
body,   head  and  feet  are      -  I,    vary   from    two   to 

three  inches  in  length,  and  brittle  up  and  stand  out 
rigid  from  the  body  the  moment  a  snake  is  sighted 
and  remain  rigid  and  bristling  throughout  the  fight, 
giving  him  the  appearance  of  an  animated  chevaux- 
de-frise. 

•The  moment  the  sensitive  palate  of  the  striking 
snake   is    touched   by    the    points    of   the   bristles,   the 


snake's  mouth  closes  instinctively  and  intantaneously 
with  the  object  of  drawing  the  poison  fangs  seated  In 
the  upper  palate  deeply  into  the  object  struck  at.  The 
consequent  pressure  on  the  poison  bag  ejects  the  poi- 
son into  th  bristles,  and  thus  the  poison  never  reaches 
the  blood  by  actual  penetration  of  the  skin. 

"That  the  mongoose  evinces  no  rear  of  the  snake 
has  been  proved  times  without  number,  but  on  the 
other  hand  the  deadly  fear  in  which  the  snake  lives 
of  the  mongoose  is  an  equally  well  established  fact. 
Should  the  snake  first  sight  his  race  enemy  he  w-ill 
use  every  device  to  avoid  detection,  but  should  he  be 
sighted,  he  will  always  try  to  escape  by  flight  if 
possible,  and  will  never  accept  battle  unless  driven  to 
the  last  extremity. 

"The  tactics  of  the  fight  and  the  results  are  invaria- 
bly the  same.  The  mongoose  with  bristling  hair, 
boldly  attacks,  darting  about  with  an  agility  wonder- 
ful to  behold.  The  snake  with  head  erect  and  well 
thrown  back,  faces  his  opponent,  rapidly  striking  at 
him  whenever  he  considers  him  within  reach,  hissing 
furiously  the  while.  Watching  his  opportunity  with 
a  spring  the  mongoose  seizes  him  by  the  neck  just 
below  the  back  of  the  head,  one  crunch  of  his  sharp 
needle-like  teeth,  a  few  spasmodic  convulsions  on  the 
part  of  the  snake — and  the  battle  is  over. 

"A  hairy  animal  of  the  ferret  type,  but  three  or  four 
times  as  big.  varying  from  silver  grey  to  russet  brown 
in  color,  in  the  wild  state  the  mongoose  may  be  seen 
sitting  in  the  half  darkened  entrance  to  his  den  or 
hole,  listening  intently  before  venturing  out  upon  the 
w^orld;  and  then  cautiously  proceeding  out  takes 
cover  at  once,  moving  noiselessly  along  hedgerows, 
banks  and  dried  up  watercourses  in  search  of  his 
enemy  or  his  food.  Generally  well  hidden  from  sight, 
he  rarely  faces  the  open,  but  is  ever  keen  and  alert, 
ready  to  spring  upon  his  unwary  prey,  or  to  rush 
off  silently  and  rapidly  to  the  shelter  of  his  den. 

'  Small  birds,  ground  game,  poultry,  rats,  mice  and 
lizards  form  his  staple  food,  and  he  has  been  known 
to  eat  carrion,  but  of  the  snake  the  only  part  he  eats 
is  the  brain. 

''The  marvellous  racial  enmity  of  the  mongoose  to 
the  snake  and  the  deadly  warfare  waged  between 
them  has  been  exmplifid  in  a  striking  way  in  the 
West  Indies. 

"There  on  some  of  the  islands  snakes  increased  so 
fast  as  to  become  a  source  of  danger  to  human  life. 
The  mongoose  was  largely  imported  and  let  loose  upon- 
the  islands  with  astounding  results.  The  snake  in  the 
islands  experimented  upon  is  almost  extinct,  but  the 
mongoose  has  increased  and  multiplied  to  such  an 
extent  as  almost  to  equal  the  rabbit  scourge  of  Aus- 
tralia, but  in  addition  to  clearing  the  place  of  snakes, 
the  mongoose  has  killed  off  all  the  ground  game  of 
the  islands,  especially  partridges,  which  at  one  time 
were  numerous,  and  afforded  good  sport  to  the  guns. 

"In  India  the  partridge  has  not  suffered  much  dam- 
age from  the  mongoose,  but  in  India  the  partridge 
roosts  in  trees  and  bushes,  and  not  on  the  ground — 
a  habit  that  may  have  been  formed  for  self-protection 
against  the  mongoose. 

"In  captivity,  if  caught  when  quite  young,  the  mon- 
goose becomes  tractable,  and  makes  a  charming  pet, 
being  clean  and  noiseless  in  his  ways.  He  becomes 
most  attached  to  his  master,  if  kindly  treated,  and 
will  follow  to  heel  like  a  dog,  run  up  and  down  his 
master's  person,  perch  on  the  shoulder,  nibble  at  his 
ear,  never  actually  biting,  and  in  a  thousand  and  one 
playful  ways  endear  himself  to  his  owner. 

'Like  the  snake  the  mongoose  is  passionately  fond 
of  milk,  and,  cat-like,  loves  being  rubbed  down  with 
a  hard  brush,  purring  the  while,  and  being  quite  up- 
set when  the  operation  ceases. 

•In  tropical  and  snake  infested  countries,  the  mon- 
goose is  quite  a  common  pet,  and  is  kept  in  many 
homes  as  a  protection  against  them.  He  forages  for 
himself  entirely,  roaming  about  the  house  and  grounds 
at  his  own  free  will,  but  has  usually  some  fixed  hab- 
itat, generally  a  corner  under  some  cupboard,  or  box, 
where  he  is  safe  from  the  reach  of  troublesome  ter- 
riers— about  the  only  animal  he  fears. 

"If  fed  regularly,  he  will  turn  up  marvellously  punc- 
tual for  his  saucer  of  milk  or  bit  of  fish,  and  if  not 
served  to  the  moment,  lias  been  heard  to  swear  most 
volubly  until  his  wants  are  attended  to.  A  nicer, 
cleaner  and  more  charming  pet  it  would  be  hard  to 
find  anywhere." 


EXTERNAL    PARASITES   OF  THE    DOG. 


Ordinary  mange  and  follicular  mange  are  the  re- 
sult of  the  invasion  of  acari,  which  bear  a  general 
resemblance  to  cheese  mites;  in  fact  are  called  mange1 
mites,  and  an  ordinary  observer  looking  at  cheese 
mites  and  the  several  varieties  of  mange  mites  would 
at  once  affirm  that  they  were  all  exactly  alike.  To 
the  eye  of  the  expert,  however,  they  differ  sufficiently 
in  details  of  strut  ture,.  as  length  of  leg,  formation  of 
the  mouth,  and  habits  of  life  to  render  a  division  of 
thi  in  into  families  perfectly  easy.  The  most  common 
mange  mites  are  those  which  cling  to  the  hair  an  I 
feed  on  the  waste  products  of  the  integument,  also 
causing  considerable  increase  of  those  products  by 
the  irritation  which  they  set  up  by  the  movement  of 
their  legs  and  the  use  of  their  pointed,  beak-like 
mouths,  which  are  so  arranged  that  they  may  be 
inserted  into  the  openings  of  the  follicles  in  the 
search  for  food.  These  wandering  mites  are  found 
in  the  greatest  abundance  on  the  back,  breasts,  and 
on  the  heads  of  the  animals  which  they  infest,  and 
by  the  aid  of  the  abundant  secretion  which  they 
cause,  chiefly  from  the  sebaceous  follicles,  ^^'v  are 
enabled  to  shelter  themselv  is  under  the  accumu- 
lated masses,  which  resemble  soft  scabs  These  are 
so  abundant  in  the  sheep  thai  the  disease  which  they 
excite  is  universally  known  as  scab.  In  the  dog  the 
wandering  mites  (dermatodectes)  are  comparatively 
rare.  The  mange  mite  of  the  dog  is  the  sarcoptes,  01 
burrowing  mite,  which  forms  galleries  beneath  the  ci

instance  which  has  been  recorded  m  the  London 
Fie  d  the  death  of  a  large  number  of  lambs  from 
what  was  looked  upon  as  a  mysterious  ^ease  proved 
to  be  perfectly  simple.  An  inquiry  revealed  the  cause 
of  the  fatality  at  once.  The  bod!es  of  the  dead 
lam£  were  found  to  be  covered  with  ticks,  which  had 
^  lv  but  surely  bled  the  unfortunate  animals  to 
d eath  "ll  the  structures  were  completely  blanched 
and  bloooless.  If  the  cause  of  the  mischief  had  been 
discovered  earlier,  as  it  must  have  been  had  two 
hree  of  the  first  victims  been  examined  by  a 
mary  surgeon,  the  rest  of  the  flock  would  as  a 
matter  of  course,  have  been  dipped  in  one  of  the 
manv  preparations  for  dipping  sheep,  diluted  to  a 
heater  extent  than  is  necessary  for  adult  animals 
and  the  ticks,  instead  of  killing  the  lambs  would 
themselves  have  been  effectually  destroyed.  It  is  not 
at  all  probable  that  the  dogs,  however  severely  at- 
tacked bv  ticks,  would  be  damaged  seriously,  as  the 
discovery  of  the  presence  of  the  parasites  could  not 
be  long  delayed,  and  the  necessary  treatment  would 
be  promptly  applied.  A  weak  solution  of  carbolic 
acid  two  per  cent,  would  be  sufficient  to  kill  the  para- 
sites, or  perhaps  more  conveniently  a  washing  with 
carbolic  soap  might  be  employed,  and  repeated  if 
necessary.  Another  variety  of  acarus  which  has 
recently  "been  described  is  known  as  the  Demodex 
folliculorum.  The  cause  of  red  mange  is  likely  to 
be  allowed  to  remain  undisturbed  for  some  time,  from 
the  circumstance  that  it  is  hidden  in  the  follicles  of 
the  skin,  from  which  it  is  not  easily  dislodged.  The 
disease  which  results  from  the  invasion  of  the  demo- 
de^ is  of  all  forms  of  mange  the  most  objectionable  to 
the  dog's  owner,  particularly  in  the  case  of  the  pet 
dog.  which  is  constantly  being  nursed.  It  is  well 
known  that  the  Demodex  folliculorum  infests  the  hair 
follicles  and  sebaceous  follicles  of  the  human  subject. 
and  although  the  parasites  in  ordinary  cases  do  not 
cause  any  inconvenience,  the  idea  of  the  creature 
crawling  from  the  skin  of  the  dog  to  the  skin  of  the 
dog's  owner,  the  nose  or  some  part  of  the  face  being 
the  most  likely  point  of  attack,  is  not  altogether  pleas- 
ant, and  the  fact  of  the  infested  human  being  return- 
ing the  compliment  by  transferring  the  acarus  to  the 
dog.  as  doubtless  happens  in  many  cases,  can  hardly 
be  considered  as  a  compensation. 

The  most  common  and  best  known  of  skin  parasites 
of  the  dog  are  lice  and  fleas  About  these  pests 
there  is  no  mystery,  as  there  is  no  attempt  at  con- 
cealment, and  the  owner  of  the  pet  animal  so  infested, 
as  all  such  pets  are  more  or  less,  finds  some  occu- 
pation from  time  to  time,  to  judge  from  appearances, 
not  altogether  repulsive,  in  hunting  for  the  parasites 
and  destroying  them  in  a  summary  manner.  The 
washings  with  carbolic  or  other  soap  to  which  the 
house  dog  is  subjected  keep  these  pests  in  check,  but 
it  may  be  mentioned  in  passing  that  the  washing,  to 
be  effective,  should  be  done,  or  at  least  superintended, 
by  the  owner.  For  years  past  specimens  of  hairs 
from  flogs  suffering  from  skin  diseases  have  been  sent 
etei  inarians  for  examination,  in  most  instances 
with  the  statement  that  the  animal  has  been  regu- 
washed  with  some  specified  soap.  In  a  large 
proportion  of  the  specimens  the  hairs  have  been 
found  matted  together  with  what  may  fairly  be 
i  ied  filth,  which  it  was  necessary  to  get  rid  of  be-

One  puppy  was  liked  so  well  by  Mr.  Jack  Bird,  of 
Oakland,  that  he  secured  the  youngster  for  $100. 

Mr.  Thorburn  is  to  be  congratulated  upon. his  suc- 
cess in  following  up  his  fancy  for  the  breed.  Meg 
Merrilies.  it  will  be  remembered,  became  a  great  show 
favorite  this  year  at  several  coast  shows  where  she 
was  handled,  in  the  ring,,  by  Mrs.  Thorburn  (her 
owner,  by  the  way)  in  so  attractive  a  style  as  to 
frequently  induce  rounds  of  applause  from  spectators 
and   rival   exhibitors    as   well.

FLY-CASTING    CLUB    DINNER. 


HUNTING    NOTES. 


Sportsmen  who  fancy  duck  shooting  have  had 
plenty  of  sport  the  past  two  weeks.  Local  shooters 
have  been  successful  in  getting  good  bags  in  many 
sections.     Most  of  the  birds  are  in  excellent  condition. 

Bay  shooting  has  hardly  approached  anything  like 
what  it  will  be  when  the  weather  becomes  more 
unsettled  and  the  rains  begin  in  earnest. 

On  the  Suisun  marshes  the  past  week  has  prac- 
tically been  a  repetition  of  the  general  good  luck 
gunners  have  had  since  the  season  opened. 

On  some  portions  of  the  Alameda  marshes  there  is 
a  notable  scarcity  of  birds  where  once  they  were 
very  plentiful  every  winter. 

Conditions  on  the  Empire  Club  preserve  at  Elkhorn 
slough  are  of  an  enviable  nature.  Last  Sunday  James 
P.  Sweeney,  shooting  over  pond  No.  5,  bagged  a  limit 
number  of  canvasbacks.  Milton  Pray  repeated  tne 
shoot  in  the  afternoon.  Pretty  good  pond — 100 
"cans"  for  one  day.  Dr.  Mertes,  a  new  member,  shot 
40  "cans"  and  stated  that  had  there  been  another 
gun  on  his  pond  he  w~ould  have  easily  filled  out  the 
limit  and  so  would  the  other  shooter.  J.  R.  Hauer 
bagged  the  limit  at  pond  7:  47  of  his  birds  were 
spooneys.  The  pond  is  now  known  as  the  Ben  But:er 
pond.  Tiring  of  shooting  spooneys  he  left  his  blind 
and  secured  a  nice  string  of  snipe  in  the  marsh 
nearby,  after  which  he'  filled  out  his  penchant  for 
variety  by  getting  a  number  of  quail  within  a  short 
distance  of  the  duck  grounds.  On  Wednesday  Dr. 
Alden  shot  a  big  string  of  canvasbacks — 35  of  these 
were  killed  before  noon.  He  sat  out  a  stool  of  sixty 
decoys. 

The  sport  on  the  Empire  preSei  \  e  iias  ueen  good 
ever  since  the  season  opened  and  promises  to  con- 
tinue. Other  members  have  also  got  limits  time  and 
again.

The   initial   show    of    i        Ci  So    Springs   Kennel 


The  bi-monthly  meeting  and  dinner  of  the  San 
Francisco  Fly-Casting  Club  last  Tuesday  evening  was 
well  attended  by  members  and  invited  guests. 

During  the  discussion  of  the  business  affairs  of  the 
club  a  report  submitted  through  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee met  with  general  favor  and  was  practically 
adopted. 

The  report  covered  the  mooted  question  of  securing 
for  the  club  members  a  desirable  location  for  a  fish- 
ing preserve  on  a  coast  trout  stream.  The  matter 
was   discussed   at    considerable    length. 

The  outlook  for  a  clubhouse  and  "home  of  its  own" 
for  the  club,  in  the  near  future,  is  now  pretty  well 
assured.  This  purpose  was  originally  promoted  by 
the  charter  members  of  the  club  wdien  it  was  organ- 
ized about  ten  years  ago.  For  financing  the  project 
it  was  decided  to  raise  the  club  dues  to  §1  00  a  month 
and  an  intial  assessment  of  §10  was  levied. 

The  grand  collection  of  flies,  tied  by  John  S.  Benn, 
ordered  by  the  club  some  time  ago,  and  which  has 
been  awarded  gold  medals  at  the  recent  St.  Louis 
and  Portland  exhibitions,  is  in  danger  of  losing  its 
value  as  an  artistic  collection  of  lures,  for  it  was 
decided  to  dispose  of  the  collection  by  raffle.  500 
tickets  at  $1.00  each,  purchase  of  chances  open  to  all 
anglers. 

Whether  the  collection  will  be  broken  up  into  lots 
or  disposed  of  as  a  whole  remains  to  be  arranged.  At 
all  events  the  sentiment  was  to  put  the  prize  lures 
to  practical  use  next  season  and  devote  the  §500  in 
hard  cash  to  be  realized  towards  the  preserve  and 
clubhouse   fund. 

Incidentally,  we  may  mention  that  this  collection 
will  probably  be  the  last  effort  in  this  line  by  the 
noted  dy-tyer.  John  S   Benn.  more's  the  pity. 

Louis  Titus.  Frederick  McGee,  William  A.  McGee 
and  Milton  H.  Cook  were  advanced  from  the  waiting 
list  to  full  membership  by  unanimous  ballot. 

Edward  Everett  presided  in  the  chair  during  the 
evening  and  Alex  T.  Vogelsang,  in  a  happy  vein,  pre- 
sented on  behalf  of  the  club  four  trophies  won  by 
contestants  at  Stow  Lake  this  season. 

C.  Roland  Kenniff  (who  was  absent)  won  the  cham- 
pionship long  distance  medal.  E.  A.  Mocker  received 
the  first  class  leng  distance  gold  medal.  John  Mars- 
den won  the  second  class  gold  medal  for  long  dis- 
tance Walter  D.  Mansfield  won  the  Achille  Roos 
trophy,    a    valuable    field    glass,    for    the    three    best 

.  licacy  for  1904-5.     In   this  competition  he 

was  closely  pressed  by  G.  W.  Lane  and  C.  R.  Kenniff. 
<:.   W.    Lane   won    the   champion   class   gold  medal   in 
racy    contests.      Austin    Sperry    received    the 
awarded  for  the  best  general  improvement 
in   all   events.     Each   of   the   prize   winners  addressed 
the    meeting    in    a    few    words    on    topics    congenial    to 
lers 
The  other  winners  for  the  season  were.  Colonel  G. 
C.  Edwards,  first  class  in  delicacy;    J.  Marsden.  sec- 
ond   class    in    delicacy:     T.    C.    Kierulff.    lure-casting

T.  C.  Kierulff.  first  .lass,  and  J.  Marsden.  second  class 
iim  y       The    medals    for    the    foregoing    events 


Reports  from  Rio  Vista  state  that  duck  shooting  in 
the  tules  along  the  river  above  that  point  never  was 
better.  Good  shooting  has  been  had  on  the  various 
ponds  and  marshes  north  of  the  town.  S.  J.  Clarridge 
made  a  bag  of  forty  ducks  on  the  Gates  ponds  and 
others  from  that  place  have  nearly  had  the  same 
success  on  the  same  ponds.  Goose  shooting  has  also 
been  good  on  the  ponds  and  on  Ryer  and  Brannan 
Islands,  as  well  as  in  the  open  fields  close  to  town., 
Quite  a  number  of  honkers  have  been  killed  also. 


There  is  a  lake,  or  rather  a  chain  of  three  lakes, 
about  a  mile  southwest  of  Ceres,  near  Modesto,  that 
has  developed  from  canal  seepage,  has  grown  up  with 
tules  and  is  proving  a  particularly  good  duck  haunt. 
It  is  said,  in  fact,  that  "the  ducks  are  there  all  the 
time."  Some  of  the  Ceres  sportsmen  have  leased  the 
shooting  privileges  on  this  chain  of  lakes— formerly  a 
swale — and  have  organized  a  club  The  organization, 
is  to  be  known  as  the  Ceres  Gun  Club  and  consists,' 
of  C.  A.  McAllister,  Myron  Warner,  Vaughn  Whit- 
more,  Guy  Whitmore,  Roy  Warner  and  Ed.  Whitmore. 


Quail  hunters  in  the  vicinity  of  Madera  find  limit 
bags   comparatively   easy   to   shoot. 


Wild    geese   are   now   in   Colusa   and   Glen   counties 
"by   the   millions." 


A  report  from  Sacramento  states  that  on  the  pre- 
serves of  the  Canvasback  Gun  Club,  north  of  the 
capital  city,  nine  hunters  on  Sunday  broke  the  record 
by  obtaining  limit  bags  of  ducks.  As  a  result  of  the 
day's  shoot  the  sportsmen  returned  with  450  ducks  of 
all  varieties,  and  the  distribution  gladdened  man^J 
of  their  friends.  Those  who  participated  in  the 
outing  were:  F.  E  "Wright.  W.  H.  Sherburne.  William 
Kennedy.  John  Norton.  Justice  J.  C.  March,  Georgn 
B.  Stack.  J.  H.  Donnelly,  E.  H.  McKee  and  Fred  Peck. 


No  better  evidence  of  the  splendid  supply  of  shoot- 
ing material  in  Southern  California  this  season  could 
be  asked  than  the  testimony  of  several  ranchers  from 
the  Imperial  country,  given  last  week  These  gentle- 
men say  the  ducks,  always  plentiful  around  the  lower 
Colorado,  are  swarming  like  blackbirds  this  winter. 
It  would  be  no  trouble  at  all  for  a  good  shot  to  kill 
300  a  day  on  the  big  lake  below"  Calexico  were  there 
any  excuse  for  such  slaughter,  or  any  manner  in 
which  he  could  dispose  of  the  birds.  Sprigs,  widgeon, 
spoonbills,  mallards.  teal,~gadwell.  are  all  reported 
plentiful.  On  the  shallow  mud  sloughs  around  Cal- 
exico an  unusual  number  of  gadwell  have  been  seen 
feeding,  and  they  are  fully  up  to  the  traditions  of 
the    breed    as   regards   fatness. 

The  general' invitation  to  local  sportsmen,  given  OS 
the  Brawley  ranchers  recently  was  quite  generally 
accepted,  and  many  limit  bags  of  birds  have  been 
shipped  up  to  Los  Angeles  local  dealers.  It  is  said 
to  lie  a  hard  game  on  a  man's  morals,  as  the  tempta- 
tion to  break  the  limit  is  ever  present,  and  in  most 
alluring    form. 

In  some  of  the  Brawley-Imperial  country  the  mak- 
ing of  a  big  bag  is  rather  dufficult.  There  is  so 
much  water  everywhere  that  the  ducks  are  scattered, 
and  one  or  two  shots  is  all  a  man  can  get,  the  hunt-

,ing  being-  a  matter  of  "jumping"  birds  by  walking 
j  about,  which  becomes  arduous  when  one  has  fifteen 
||or  twenty  fat  sprigs  bumping  about  in  his  game  sack. 
For  Los  Angeles  sportsmen  the  duck  hunting  is 
iholding  out  splendidly,  and,  although  it  is  well  into 
^December,  the  good  shots  are  getting  the  limit  with 
■regularity  even  when  not  first  choice.  Last  winter 
lit  was  harder  to  bag  twenty  than  it  is  to  get  fifty 
nowadays. 
The  Ballona  clubs  are  still  bringing  them  down  as 
j  of  yore,  although  surroundings  are  not  what  they 
Nonce  were  in  that  section.  On  the  Cerritos  and  Pasa- 
Jldena  clubs  limits  were  bagged  Wednesday  of  last 
week  by  several  gunners.  The  Pasadena  Club  re- 
Hcently  put  in  several  new  ponds,  and  is  getting  rather 
■more  than  its  share  of  mallards  on  some  of  these. 
I  R.  E.  Ross  has  kept  track  of  his  bag  on  the  Cer- 
Iritos  Club  this  season,  and  finds  that  to  date  he 
Unas  killed  an  even  fifty  mallards  in  perhaps  350  birds. 
Most  of  the  Cerritos  membership  have  passed  up  the 
■festive  "spooney"  this  fall,  though  on  some  of  the 
■other  clubs  he  is  in  dire  danger  on  every  appearance. 
,  Getting  the  limit  in  the  Bolsa  section  has  become 
Ian  old  story.  "Wednesday  of  last  week  the  usual 
Ijnumber  of  fifty  bird  bags  were  loaded  onto  the  3:3u 
lio'clock  car  .at  Bolsa  Beach  from  half  a  dozen  clubs 
■Godfrey  Fritz,  "William  Frick,  J.  Morrison  and  another 
■Christopher  Club  member  fired  over  that  preserve 
lin  the  morning,  and  found  the  flight  quite  all  that 
Mcould  be  asked,  all  kinds  of  birds  being  in  evidence. 
I  The  Chico  members  are  killing  quite  a  few  mal- 
tlards.  and  some  canvasbacks  are  occasionally  seen 
■speeding  over  the  ponds.  The  prevailing  depth  of 
Iwater  in  the  Bolsa  clubs  is  about  one  foot,  which  is 
\  'too  shallow  to  appeal  to  the  festive  "can,"  though  it 
lis  quite  the  thing  for  such  bottom  rakers  as  the 
■sprig,  which  enjoys  standing  on  its  head  and  grub- 
Ibing  about  for  the  grain  or  seeds  that  have  sunk 
Ito  the  mud.  Mallards  are  fond  enough  of  this  char- 
lacter  of  living,  and  divide  with  gadwell  the  honor 
Bof  being  at  present  the  biggest  birds  on  the  Bolsa 
Imarshes.  Some  gadwell  of  huge  size  have  been  re- 
Iported.  one  being  said  to  have  dressed  over  two  and 
,'a.  half  pounds,  and  as  big  as  an  average  mallard. 
I  The  birds  are  attaining  their  winter  plumage  now, 
land  are  fast  becoming  things  of  beauty.  Earlier  in 
■the  season  the  immature  males  are  of  soberer  color, 


and  do  not  make  nearly  as  pretty  a  string  as  now. 

Teal  continue  plentiful  everywhere  There  is  no 
losing  the  spoonbill;  he  comes  early  and  stays  until 
the    last. 

On  such  of  the  clubs  as  have  patches  of  black 
peat  bog,  snipe  are  beginning  to  make  their  appear- 
ance. The  elusive  "jack"  is  one  of  the  few  birds 
that  will  tempt  a  duck  hunter  out  of  his  blind  in 
lulls  of  the  flight.  As  yet  no  bags  of  much  conse- 
quence have  been  reported,  but  several  gentlemen 
have  succeeded  in  bringing  down  enough  of  them  to 
furnish  the  meat  for  very  pleasing  breakfasts  when 
served  upon  toast  done  to  a  golden  brown. 

Quail  are  steadily  becoming  harder  to  catch.  Not 
many  are  being  killed,  and  the  hunters  are  beginning 
to  realize  that  under  present  conditions  the  birds 
"have   it   on   them." 

New  clubs  in  the  Bolsa  district  are  coming  along 
handsomely.  The  Sunset  Club  hopes  to  get  in  a 
little  shooting  late  in  the  season,  with  good  luck; 
its  levees  are  contracted  to  be  finished  within  a 
month,  and  three  weeks  more  should  fill  the  ponds. 

The  Canvasback  Club's  levees  are  now  practically 
up  and  a  good  flow  of  water  has  been  uncovered  in 
its  ten -inch  well.  Blinds  are  being  built,  and  a  con- 
tract for  the  house  let,  which  makes  it  quite  prob- 
able the  members  will  be  shooting  by  the  first  of 
the  year. 

Last  Saturday's  shoot  of  the  Bolsa  Uubs  resulted 
in  a  number  of  big  bags  being  made,  a  "Santa  Ana" 
of  phenomenal  force  keeping  the  birds  moving  brisk- 
ly all  morning,  and  preventing  them  from  sitting  out 
on  the  ocean  as  is  their  habit  when  bombarded  be- 
yond  endurance  inland. 

The  storm  is  reported  one  of  the  worst  known 
in  many  months  and  quite  a  number  of  poorly  con- 
structed gun  club  levees  were  washed  out  by  the 
waves   raised   in   their  ponds. 

Teal  were  unusually  plentiful,  and  made  up  a  goodly 
proportion  of  the  limit  bags  that  were  scored  on  the 
Chico,  Lomita  and  Blue  Wing  Clubs,  all  of  which 
reported  a  great  shoot. 

M.  F.  Amestoy  and  brother  both  killed  the  limit 
on  the  Lomita.  M.  F.  did  not  leave  Los  Angeles  until 
that  morning.  Four  limits  were  scored,  but  shooting 
in  the  wind  was  a  new  experience  to  many  of  the 
members,    and    the    shell   average   per   bird    ran    high 


in    consequence.      Gradwell    were    seen    in    force,    and 
some   huge   ones   were   killed. 


Demise  of  a  Naturalist. 

'"The  Quails  of  the  United  States,"  which  appeared 
m  previous  issues  was  the  last  work  of  Professor' 
Sylvester  D.  Judd,  an  assistant  in  the  Bureau  of. 
Biological  Survey,  United  States  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. 

Professor  Judd  had  been  in  poor  health  for  several 
months  and  just  prior  to  his  death  he  had  been  re- 
leased from  a  hospital  in  Baltimore,  after  a  course  of 
treatment  for  melancholia  He  committed  siucide  by

,at  fancy  prices. 

To  hasten  the  growth  of  young  cattle 
they  should  have  a  pen,  especially  for 
themselves,  into  which  feed  may  be  put 
adapted  to  their  time  of  life.  That, 
with  the  mother's  milk,  will  give  them 
a  fine  start. 

Careful  training  in  every  step  tells 
as  much  in  an  animal  as  it  does  in  a 
child.  In  some  respects  we  are  only 
animals.  Extra  care,  a  little  later,  may 
do  both  in  the  case  of  the  boy  and  the 
animal,  but  it  is  not  as  good  as  if  it 
was   given  at  just  the   right  time. 

Wool  growing  does  not  take  any  fer- 
tility from  the  soil.  While  it  grows, 
the  sheep  are  making  the  soil  better. 

While  sheep  are  supposed  to  be  very 
economical  feeders,  they  need  good  pas- 
ture in  order  to  make  good  flocks. 

No  definite  rules  can  be  laid  down 
for  feeding  stock  Animals  vary. 
Every  one  needs  to  use  his  feed  and 
his  judgment.  Daily  exercise  and 
grooming  are  of  great  value.  Idle 
horses  should  be  allowed  to  stroll 
aro-'nd  every  day. 

f  Stock  of  all  kinds  ara  not  as  hardy 
as  might  be  supposed.  When  it  gets 
a  real  setback,  it  is  hard  to  recuperate. 
A  stunted  calf,  or  colt,  is  a  serious 
proposition.  It  pays  much  better  not 
to  let  them  get  into  that  condition,  but 
to  keep  them  thrifty. 

In  winter  it  is  better  for  unworked 
horses  to  go  barefooted.  If  left  to 
stand  in  the  stable  their  legs  should 
be  rubbed  every  day.  otherwise  they 
will    swell    and   get   wind    galls.      It    is 

■sasy  to  prevent  them,  but  it  is  difficult 
to   get    them    off,    and    to    keep    rid    of 

i:hem. 

As  much  importance  needs  to  be  at- 

,  tached  to  the  mastication  of  fond  by 
animals,  as  by  man      Digestion  begins 

I  in   the  mouth,   so   that   the  teeth   need 

I  :o    be    in    good    condition.      When    the 

|  :eeth  and  other  conditions  are  favor- 
ible.  it  is  easy  to  keep  them  in  good 
flesh.  When  the  teeth  are  bad  they 
»vill  not  thrive,  however  much  food 
:hey  may  have. 

While  a  good  cow  may  contain  alf 
n  feed  and  water  and  salt,  and  care,

Some  men  go  on  the  theory  that  if 
farming  is  a  paying  business  and  a 
good  thing,  more  of  it  will  pay  better 
and  will  be  a  better  thing.  If  a  man 
could  do  a  lot  and  do  it  as  well  as  he 
can  do  the  right  amount,  there  would 
be  no  reason  why  this  theory  wouldn't 
stand  the  hard  knocks  of  practice;  but 
no  man  can  hire  work  done  as  well  as 
he  can  do  it  himself;  that  is,  farm 
work.  And  here  is  where  the  over- 
reaching farmer  falls   crown. 

Of  all  farms  in  the  United  States 
those  paying  best  per  acre  are  the  forty 
and  eighty-acre  farms.  It  is  true  that 
there  are  some  instances  that  almost 
anyone  can  cite  where  the  200,  300  and 
400-acre  farm  is  paying  the  best,  but 
we  speak  of  farming  as  a  whole — of 
the  average  farm  in  the  United  States. 

We  know  of  no  better  advice  right 
now  than  that  of  a  far-seeing  farmer 
of  fifty  years  ago  who  said:  "The  man 
who  gets  hold  of  only  what  lands  he 
can  farm  and  farm  with  his  own  hands, 
is  going  to  be  the  contented  and  pros- 
perous man  of  the  future;  get  this 
much  and  leave  the  rest  for  the  other 
fellow."  It  is  an  oft-repeated  sen- 
tence, but  real  farming,  real  producing 
in  the  Southwest  hasn't  been  reached 
yet.  Men  who  are,  year  in  and  year 
out.  farming  more  than  they  can  farm 
well  are  responsible  for  the  low  gen- 
eral average  of  all  farm  crops  per  acre. 
Do  only  what  you  can  do  well  and 
leave  the  rest  for  the  other  fellow,  in- 
stead of  hiring  him  to  do  it  for  you. 


CHICKEN    CHATTER. 


Turkeys  are  splendid  insect  exter- 
minators. It  pays  to  keep  them  on  the 
farm. 

Toung  hens  should  not  be  set  after 
their  first  laying  of  eggs.  By  the  time 
they  want  to  set  the  second  time  they 
will    make   good   mothers. 

Give  the  poultry  charcoal  occasional- 
ly. It  will  assist  in  grinding  the  food 
and   aid    digestion. 

The  best  breed  for  you  is  the  one 
you  like  best  of  those  most  suited  to 
your  locality  and  market. 

Where  excess  of  cnrn  is  fed  or  where 
chickens  can  get  no  animal  food  it 
means   indigestion   and   starvation 

It  is  estimated  that  if  farmers  would 
discard  the  scrubs  and  use  only  pure 
breeds,  there  would  be  an  increase  of 
one  hundred  per  cent  in  poultry  value. 

A  superfluous  male  Is  a  waste  ot 
feed  and  labor.  One  vigorous  male  to 
ten  hens  is  sufficient  fur  fertility.  For 
eggs  alone  in  small  flocks,  dispensi 
with  the  male  entirely. 

Peach  and  plum-trees  are  both  less 
liable  to  disease  when  grown  in  the 
poultry  yard.  They  will  make  a  better 
growth  and  at  the  same  time  afford  n 
good  shade  for  the  poultry. 


To  have  hens  put  on  flesh  or  lay 
more  or  less  in  winter  they  must  have 
a  warm  place  and  be  fed  liberally  on 
food  which  contains  gluten  (albumi- 
noids) and  fat.  It  should  be  varied  and 
mixed  with   some   coarse  kinds. 

Poultry  if  properly  managed  will  en- 
large the  income  of  those  who  have 
room  and  properly  care  for  them,  be- 
sides proving  a  healthy  addition  to  tne 
food  supply  of  the  table. 

While  a  bird  defective  in  comb  or 
otherwise  imperfect,  bred  from  good 
stock,  is  really  worth  more  to  the 
practical  farmer  than  his  appearance 
may  indicate,  at  the  same  time  ti  is 
hardly  wise  to  sell  such  poultry  for 
breeders. 

There  is  no  better  food  for  hens  as 
an  occasional  change  than  sorghum 
seed.  And  one  of  the  best  ways  of 
feeding  it  is  hanging  it  up  just  where 
the  fowls  can  reach  it  by  jumping  up, 
as  by  this  means  both  food  and  exer- 
cise are  permitted. 

One  advantage  in  culling  out  the 
flock  seasonably  early  is  the  saving 
of  feed.  From  this  time  on  the  poultry 
should  be  fed  regularly  daily,  and  the 
feeding  of  useless  fowls  adds  largely 
to  the  expense,  and  the  sooner  they  are 
gotten  rid  of  the  better. 

In  nearly  all  cases  the  flesh  of  fowls 
that  have  been  well  fed  all  through 
their  growth  will  be  much  jucier  and 
r'.cher  in  flavor  than  those  fattened 
from  a  low  condition  and  crammed 
just  before  killing  in  order  to  make 
them  heavier. 

AViieat  is  one  of  the  best  grains  for 
poultry  and  especially  for  the  laying 
hens  and  is  well  liked  by  all  fowls.  It 
is  rich  in  material  for  growth  and 
stimulates  the  egg-production,  while  it 
seems  easy  of  digestion.  If  too  much 
of  it  is  given  suddenly,  it  sometimes 
sets  up  a  diarrhoea. 


There  is  no  doubt  but  that  some 
breeders  ask  fancy  prices  for  their 
stock — it  is  really  more  than  it  is 
worth.  Yet  a  real  first  class  nn'mal 
that  will  produce  fiivt  class  results  as 
a  breeder,  and  that  has  a  good  quiet 
disposition  is  almost  invaluable.  It  is 
difficult  to  pay  too  high  a  price  for 
him.  He  will  bring  larger  returns  on 
tin  investment  than  any  other  animal 
on  the  place.  The  first  cost  may  be  a 
little  strenuous,  but  it  will  pay  in  sat- 
isfactory  results. 


Those  who  have  fed  cattle  know  their 
piggish  nature.  Each  cow  should  have 
her  own  stall,  trough  and  manger,  and 
each  should  be  required  to  occupy  their 
stall  every  time.  It  will  prevent  con- 
ii  and  the  liability  to  the  spread 
of  disea 


Read  what  Hon.  James  Wilson,  sec- 
retary of  agriculture,  says  about  the 
hen — that  farm  bird  which  is  more  or 
less  neglected  and  returns  over  100  per 
cent  profit  on  its  keep:  "The  farmer's 
hen  is  becoming  a  worthy  companion 
to  his  cow.  The  annual  production  of 
eggs  is  now  a  score  of  billions,  ana, 
after  supplying  the  needs  of  factories, 
tanneries,  bakeries  and  other  trades, 
they  are  becoming  a  substitute  for 
high-priced  meats,  besides  entering 
more  generally  into  the  everyday  food 
of  the  people.  Poultry  products  have. 
now  climbed  to  a  place  of  more  than 
half  a  billion  dollars  in  value;  and  so 
the  farmer's  hen  competes  with  wheat 
for    precedence." 


Too  many  in  buying  do  not  exercise 
enough  care  in  selecting  only  good 
cows.  Dairy  points  are  always  more 
or  less  conspicuous  in  every  cow. 
These  should  be  studied  by  the  careful 
buyer.  However  perfect  they  may  be, 
and  whatever  may  be  the  qualities, 
they  will  all  fail  without  feed  and  care. 

It  is  not  the  polish  on  the  outside 
of  the  can  that  prepares  it  for  the  milk 
on  the  inside. 


No  better  use  can  be  made  of  sepa- 
rator milk  than  to  feed  it  to  calves, 
hogs  and  chickens.  It  is  poor  economy 
to  sell  it  off  the  farm.  In  separated 
milk  the  fat  only  has  been  removed. 
and  it  contains  as  much  valuable  food, 
which  is  easily  supplied  by  feeding 
corn. 


A  poor  cow  cannot  be  made  to  give 
much  milk,  without  a  large  amount  of 
food.  Too  much  is  necessary  to  sus- 
tain the  cow,  and  only  that  which  is 
not  thus  consumed  goes  to  the  produc- 
tion of  milk.  Poor  cows,  therefore,  are 
seldom   profitable. 


Some  very  fine  stock  have  very  un- 
desirable dispositions.  And  some  which 
have  not  so  much  high-grade  blood 
are  better  in  disposition.  This  might 
also   be  said   of   people. 


Ill  temper  is  a  disease  and  should  not 
be  permitted  to  become  chronic.  It 
will   decrease   the   flow  of,  milk.

cows  and  dairy  work.

FEEDING    FOR     EGGS. 

in  feeding  for  egg  production  a  valu- 
able lesson  may  be  learned  from  nature. 
It  will  be  observed   that  our  domestic 
fowls    that   receive  the   least   care   and 
ion,    or    in    other    v.  eras,    whose 
rearlj    the 
j    most   of   then 
egES  in  the  springtime.    It  is  our  duty, 
then    as  feeders,  to  note  the  conditions 
majng  thes  ■    *         that  time. 

y   have  an 
abundance  of  gre<  mere  or  less 

■      «d  plenty  of  ex- 
ercise and  fresh  air.     Then,  if  we  are 
eed    for    egg    production,    we    will 
endeavor    to    make    it   spring    time    all 
the  year  round;   not  only  to  provide  a 
,      place    for    out    fowls    and    give 
them    a    proper    proportion    of    green 
grain  and  meat,  but  also  to  pro - 
Vlde  nui  and  plenty  of  exercise. 

Farmers  who  keep  only  small  flocks 
of  hens,  chiefly  to  provide  eggs  for  the 
v  frequently  make  a  mistake  in 
feeding  too  much  corn.  It  has  been 
clearly  proven,  by  experiment,  that 
corn  should  not  form  a  very  large  pro- 
ration of  the  grain  ration  for  laying 
hens;  it  is  too  fattening,  especially  for 
hen=  kept  in  close  confinement.  Until 
the  past  few  years  corn  has  been  con- 
sidered the  universal  poultry  food  of 
America.  This,  no  doubt  has  been 
largely  brought  about  by  its  cheap-  - 
ness  and  wide  distribution. 

When  comfortable  quarters  are  pro- 
vided for,  the  nutritive  ration  of  the 
food  should  be  about  1.5;  that  is,  oi«. 
part  of  protein  or  muscle-producing 
compounds  to  four  parts  of  carbohy- 
drates or  heat  and  fat  producing  com- 
pounds. Wheat  is  to  be  preferred  to 
corn.  Oats  make  an  excellent  food  and, 
perhaps,  come  nearer  the  ideal  than 
any  other  single  grain,  particularly  if 
the  hull  can  be  removed. 
"  Buckwheat,  like  wheat,  has  too  wide 
a  nutritive  ratio  if  fed  alone,  and  pro- 
duces a  White  flesh  and  light-colored 
yolk  if  fed  in  very  large  quantities.  In 
forcing  fowls  for  egg  production,  as  in 
forcing  animals  for  large  yields  oi 
milk,  it  is  found  best  to  make  up  a 
ration  of  many  kinds  of  grain-  This 
invariably  gives  better  results  than  one 
or  two  kinds  of  grain,  although  the 
nutritive  ratio  of  the  ration  may  be 
about  the  same.  It  has  been  found  by 
experience  that  the  fowls  not  only  rel- 
ish their  ration  when  composed  of 
many  kinds  of  grain,  but  that  a  some- 
what larger  percentage  of  the  whole 
ration  is  digested  than  when  it  is  com- 
posed of  fewer  ingredients.  It  Las 
been  clearly  proven,  by  experiment, 
that  food  consumed  by  fowls  influences 
the  flavor  of  the  egg;  that  in  extreme 
cases  not  only  is  the  flavor  of  the  food 
imparted  to  the  eggs,  but  also  the  odor. 
This  of  itself  is  sufficient  reason  for 
always  supplying  wholesome  food  and 
nothing  but  wholesome  food. 

It  is  conceded  by  the  majority  of  the 
poultrymen  that  ground  or  soft  food 
should  form  a  part  of  the  daily  ration. 
As  the  digestive  organs  contain  the 
least  amount  of  food  in  the  morning,  it 
is  desirable  to  feed  the  soft  food  then, 
as  it  will  be  digested  and  assimilated 
quicker  than  whole  grain.  A  mixture 
of  equal  parts,  by  weight,  of  corn  and 
oats,  ground,  added  to  an  equal  weight 
of  wheat  bran  and  fine  middlings, 
makes  a  good  morning  food,  if  mixed 
with  milk  or  water,  and  thoroughly 
wet,  without  being  made  sloppy.  If 
the  mixture  is  inclined  to  be  sticky, 
the  proportion  of  bran  should  be  in- 
creased. A  little  linseed  meal  will  im- 
prove the  mixture,  particularly  for 
hens,  during  the  moulting  period,  or 
for  chickens  when  they  are  growing 
feathers.  If  prepared  meat  scrap  or 
animal  meal  is  to  be  fed,  it  should  be 
mixed  with  this  soft  feed  in  proportion 
of  about  one  pound  to  twenty- five

The    grain       ration      should      consist 
largely  of  whole      In  me  oats,  and

noted    for   egg   production    art     active,

rk.     Hnw    to   keep    them    busy    is   a 

i       ■    ea      ■   solved.    Feeding  tin 

grain  as  described  will   go  a    long    was 


d  providing  exercise.    If  the  fowls 

-  fed  three  times  a  day  they  should 
not  be  fed  all  they  will  eat  at  noon. 
Make  them  find  every  kernel.  At  night 
just  before  going  on  the  perches,  they 
should  have  all  they  will  eat  up  clean. 
At  no  time  should  mature  fowls  be  fed 
than  they  can  eat.  Keep  them 
ys  active,  always  on  the  lookout 
nother  kernel  of  grain. 
While  perhaps  net  strictly  necessary 
for  their  existence,  some  kind  of  green 
I  is  necessary  for  the  greatest  pro- 
tion  of  eggs.  "Where  fowls  are  kept 
.  pens  and  yards  throughout  the  year, 
it  is  always  best  to  supply  some  green 
food.  How  to  supply  the  best  food. 
most  cheaply,  each  individual  must 
solve  largely  for  himself.  During  the 
winter  and  early  spring  months,  man- 
gel-wurzels,  if  properly  kept,  may  be 
fed  to  good  advantage.  The  fowls  rel- 
ish them  and  they  are  easily  prepared. 
As  it  is  not  difficult  to  grow  from  ten 
to  twenty  tons  of  these  roots  per  acre, 
their  cost  is  not  excessive.  In  feeding 
these  beets  to  flocks  of  hens,  a  very 
good  practice  is  to  split  the  root  length- 
wise with  a  large  knife.  The  fowls 
will  then  be  able  to  pick  out  all  the 
crisp,  fresh  food  from  the  exposed  sur- 
face. These  large  pieces  have  the  ad- 
vantage over  smaller  ones.  The  small- 
er pieces  when  fed  from  troughs  or 
dishes  will  be  thrown  into  the  litter  and 
soiled  more  or  less  before  being  con- 
sumed, and  mary  pieces  will  become  so 
dirty  that  they  will  not,  and  should 
not,  be  eaten.  Large  pieces  cannot  be 
thrown  about  and  remain  clear  and 
fresh  until   consumed. 

Clover,  during  the  early  spring,  is 
perhaps  one  of  the  cheapest  and  best 
foods.  It  is  readily  eaten  when  cut 
fine  in  a  fodder  cutter,  and  furnishes  a 
considerable  amount  of  nitrogen.  If 
clover  is  frequently  mowed-  fresh  food 
of  this  kind  may  be  obtained  nearly  all 
summer,  particularly  if  the  season  be  a 
wet  one.  Should  the  supply  of  clover 
be  limited  or  the  season"  unusually  dry, 
green  food  may  be  cheaply  and  easily 
grown  in  the  form  of  Dwarf  Essex  rape. 
This  should  be  sown  in  drills  and  given 
the  same  cultivation  as  corn  or  pota- 
toes. When  the  rape  is  from  eight 
inches  to  a  foot  in  height,  it  may  be 
cut  and  fed.  It  furnishes  a  fresh,  crisp 
food,  and  is  readily  eaten.  If  cut  a 
few  inches  from  the  ground,  a  second 
and  sometimes  a  third  crop  will  be  pro- 
duced from  one  seeding.  Alfalfa  will 
also  furnish  an  abundance  of  green 
food.  It  must,  however,  be  cut  fre- 
quently, each  cutting  being  made  be- 
fore the  stalks  become  hard  or  woody. 

A  good  quality  of  clover  hay,  cut  fine 
and  steamed,  makes  an  excellent  food 
for  laying  hens  if  mixed  with  soft 
food. 

Cabbages  can  be  grown  cheaply  in 
many  localities  and  make  an  excellent 
green  food  so  long  as  they  can  be  kept 
fresh  and  crisp.  Kale  and  beet  leaves 
are  equally  as  good  and  are  readily 
eaten.  Sweet  apples  are  also  suitable, 
and,  in  fact,  almost  any  crisp,  fresh, 
green  food  can  be  fed  with  profit. 

The  green  food,  in  many  instances, 
may  be  cut  fine  and  fed  with  the  soft 
food,  but  as  a  rule,  it  is  better  to  feed 
separately,  during  the  middle  of  the 
day,  in  such  quantities  that  give  the 
fowls  about  all  they  can  eat  at  one 
time. — Inland    Poultry    Journal. 


DAIRY  BREEDS  AT  ST.  LOUIS. 


In  the  course  of  the  articles  on  the 
dairy  cows  in  the  St.  Louis  dairy  dem- 
onstration a  comparison  has  been 
made  between  the  best  fifteen  of  the 
Jersey  herd  and  the  entire  Holstein 
herd,  as  there  were  twenty-five  Jer- 
seys and  only  fifteen  Holsteins. 

In    making    that    comparison    it   was 
found    that,    while    the   Holsteins    pro- 
duced 18,081.9  lbs.  more  milk  than  the 
Jerseys,     the     Jersey     milk     contained 
423.46  lbs.  more  fat,   equivalent  to  567 
lbs.    more    butter;    and    that,    further- 
more,   the    feed    of    the   Holsteins    cost 
75.44   more  than   that   of  the  Jerseys; 
so  that  the  profit  of  the  Jersey  herd  as 
butter    producers    was    $216.1S    in    120 
days  over  and  above  that  of  the  Hol- 
Ins,  and  the  profit  of  the  Jerseys  as 
milk    producers    was    8178.24    over   and 
above    that    of   the   Holsteins.     It   was 
ti,    also,    that    the   Jersey   milk   con- 
tained 1.36  per  cent  more  fat,  0.S7  per 
more   solids   not   fat,   and    2.2    per 
mi  re    total    tolal    solids    than    the 
in    milk;     that     it     took     7     2-5 
ounds   mi  re  Holstein  milk  to  make  a 
round    of    butter    than    it    required    of

ter. 


A  similar  comparison  may  be  made 
between  the  Holstein  herd  and  the 
lowest  fifteen  cards  in  the  Jersey  herd, 
throwing  entirely  out  of  consideration 
the  ten  leading  Jersey  cows.  The 
lowest  fifteen  Jerseys,  averaging  72 
days  from  calving  at  the  start  of  the 
test,  gave  71,428.6  pounds  milk, 
against  96,175.3  pounds  milk  in  the  case 
of  the  Holsteins,  an  excess  of  24,746 
pounds  in  favor  of  the  Holsteins.  But 
this  large  quantity  of  milk  did  not  con- 
tain very  much  more  fat  than  the  Jer- 
sey milk  did,  3298.44  pounds  against 
3256.63  pounds  in  the  Jersey  milk, 
81  pounds  in  favor  of  the  Holsteins. 
When  the  amount  of  butter  equivalent 
to  this  fat  is  computed,  however,  the 
Jerseys  take  the  first  place,  their  but- 
ter being  3S32.43  pounds,  against  3817 
pounds  for  the  Holsteins,  a  difference 
of  15.43  pounds  in  favor  of  the  Jersey. 
The  cost  of  feed  consumed  was 
$423.36  in  the  case  of  the  Jerseys  and 
$515.7  in. that  of  the  Holsteins,  the  feed 
of  the  Jerseys  costing  $92.34  less  than 
that  of  the  other  breed.  The  purpose 
of  the  demonstration  was  the  economic 
production  of  butter-fat,  butter  and 
milk  for  all  purposes  of  dairying,  and 
in  this  event  the  fifteen  lowest  Jer- 
seys proved  their  superiority,  their  net 
profit  as  butter  producers  being  $534.75, 
against  $438.55  for  the  Holsteins,  and 
as  milk  producers  $740.75,  against 
$702.75  for  the  Holsteins.  So  that,  had 
the  ten  leading  Jerseys  been  absent, 
those  left  would  still  have  carried  off 
the  victory  in  the  contest,  owing  to 
their  excess  net  profit  of  $96.20  on  but- 
ter and  $38  on  milk. 

The  best  single  day's  yield  of  but- 
ter for  any  cow  in  the  Jersey  herd  was 
3.71  pounds,  and  the  lowest  was  2.35 
pounds.  Had  the  standing  of  the  cows 
been  determined  by  their  best  day's 
yields  of  butter,  the  first  and  second 
in  order  of  merit  would  still  have  main- 
tained their  places,  but  the  others 
would  be  changed  considerably,  the 
sixth  becoming  fifteenth  and  the 
eleventh  becoming  third,  etc.  The  best 
seven  days'  yield  of  butter  was  20. S5 
pounds  and  the  lowest  was  14.52 
pounds.  Had  the  standing  of  the  cows 
depended  on  their  best  week's  yields, 
the  leading  cow,  Loretta  D.,  would  still 
have  retained  her  place,  as  also  would 
the  last  two  cows  in  order  of  merit; 
the  third  cow  would  take  second  place 
and  the  second  third.  The  standard  of 
seven  cows  in  the  twenty-five  would 
not  be  changed.  The  places  of  the  re- 
maining eighteen  would  be  changed 
from  one  to  four  grades  each,  the  av- 
erage being  less  than  two  places.  This 
may  throw  some  light  on  the  reliability 
of  a  short  period  test  in  determining 
the  quality  of  a  cow. 

The  Jerseys  cost  $5.48  per  cow  less 
to  feed  than  did  the  Holsteins.  and 
they  exceed  the  Holsteins  as  profitable 
butter  makers  by  $10.29  per  head  and 
the  Brown  Swiss  by  $16.39  per  head. 
The  Jerseys  surpassed  the  Holsteins  in 
quantity  of  butter  by  19.2  pounds  per 
head.  As  butter  producers  the  Jerseys 
returned  a  profit  of  137  per  cent  and 
the  Brown  Swiss  70  per  cent.  As 
profitable  milk  producers  the  Jerseys 
surpassed  the  Holsteins  by  $7.06  per 
head,  the  Brown  Swiss  by  $15.22  per 
head,  and  the  Shorthorns  by  $23.73 
per  head.  The  Jersey  milk  was  13.5 
per  cent  solids;  the  Holstein  milk,  11.3 
per  cent;  the  Brown  Swiss  milk,  12.5 
per  cent;  the  Shorthorn  milk,  12.2  per 
cent.  It  took  IS. 2  pounds  of  Jersey 
milk,  23.6  pounds  of  Brown  Swiss  milk 
and  25.2  pounds  of  Holstein  milk  to 
make  one  pound  of  butter.  The  cost  in 
feed  of  a  pound  of  Jersey  butter  was 
10.56c.  of  Holstein  butter  13.51c,  and 
of  Brown  Swiss  butter  14.67c  The 
Shorthorns  were  not  entered  in  the 
butter  class.

THE    BACON    HOG. 


Breakfast  bacon  is  cut  from  the  side 
of  the  hog,  and  is  prepared  by  salting 
the  pork  and  then  smoking. 

The  bacon  hog  should  be  long  in 
body,  deep  in  side,  with  comparatively 
narrow  back,  narrow  and  light,  muscu- 
lar neck.  He  should  show  indications 
of  having  firm  flesh,  be  well  covered 
with  lean  meat  or  muscle,  and  not  have 
an  excess  of  fat  on  the  outside  of  the 
carcass.  The  fat  should  be  evenly  dis- 
tributed over  the  entire  carcass.  The 
weight  of  the  animal  should  be  from 
160  to  220  pounds. 

To  be  in  good  condition  a  bacon  hog 
must  have  a  development  of  lean  meat 
or  muscle,  with  the  proper  amount  of 
fat.  He  must  be  smooth,  well  develop- 
ed and  have  a  large  proportion  of 
edible    meat,    while    the    proportion    of 


fat  and  other  offal  must  be  small. 
Hams,  shoulders,  jowls,  and  neck,  must 
also  be  small  in  proportion  to  length 
and  depth  of  side. 

It  may  be  thought  that  the  produc- 
tion of  bacon  is  possible  only  with  cer- 
tain breeds  of  swine  and  that  these 
breeds  will  always  produce  bacon  un- 
der all  circumstances.  While  this  is 
true  in  a  general  way,  it  is  not  always 
true.  It  is  the  feed  and  the  mode  of 
life  that  produces  the  bacon  hog  and 
that  enables  him  to  retain  his  form  as 
such  after  he  has  been  developed. 

The  bacon-hog  type  of  the  United 
Slates  differs  considerably  from  the 
English  bacon  hog,  which  has  recently 
been  introduced  into  the  United  States 
and  is  rapidly  establishing  for  itself 
a  market  class.  There  is,  however,  a 
growing  tendency  toward  the  typical 
bacon  type. 

There  is  a  demand  on  the  markets 
of  this  country  from  foreign  countries, 
and  more  largely  from  our  own  coun- 
try, for  bacon,  and  there  being  few 
bacon  hogs  to  supply  the  demand,  the 
trade  is  supplied  from  the  lighter  hogs 
of  the  fat  or  lard  hog  type.  This  ba- 
con, however,  does  not  command  so 
high  a  price  on  the  market  as  does  ba- 
con from  typical  bacon  hogs.  .  The 
former  weigh  from  155  to  195  pounds, 
and  range  in  age  from  6  to  8  months. 
They  are  simply  hogs  selected  from  the 
light  hogs  in  general  that  conform  as 
nearly  as  possible  to  the  bacon  type. 
They  are  not  very  fat,  have  fairly 
good  development  of  muscle  or  lean 
meat,  and  are  as  long  and  deep  inside 
as  is  possible  to  obtain  them. — Gov- 
ernment Bulletin. 


BEEF  VERSUS   DAIRY  TYPE. 

The  Iowa  station  has  recently  re- 
ported the  results  of  a  year's  feeding 
test  to  determine  the  relative  economy 
for  beef  production  of  the  beef  and 
dairy  types  of  cattle,  a  question  which 
is  receiving  much  attention  at  the 
present  time.  The  results  attained  are 
summarized  as  follows: 

Dairy  type  steers  show  a  consider- 
able higher  percentage  of  offal  and  a 
lower  dressing  percentage. 

Dairy  type  steers  carry  higher  per- 
centage of  valuable  cuts. 

Beef  type  steers  furnish  heavier, 
thicker  cuts;  they  are  more  evenly  and 
neatly  covered  with  outside  fat,  show 
superior  marbling  in  flesh,  are  of  a 
clearer  white  color  in  fat,  and  a  bright- 
er red  in  the  lean  meat;  but  there  is 
little  difference  in  fineness  of  grain. 

The  low  price  paid  for  dairy  steers 
may  be  due  partially  to  prejudice,  and 
to  the  greater  expense  of  carrying  and 
selling  the  lower  grade  carcasses;  b 
it  is  chiefly  due  to  an  actual  inferiority 
in  the  carcasses. 

It  is  neither  profitable  nor  desirable 
to  feed  steers  of  dairy  type  for  beef 
purposes.  They  are  unsatisfactory  to 
the  consumer  because  they  do  not  fur- 
nish thick  and  well  marbled  cuts;  they 
are  unsatisfactory  to  the  butcher  be- 
cause they  furnish  a  low  grade  car- 
casses which  are  difficult  to  dispose  of, 
and  they  are  decidedly  unsatisfactory 
to  the  feeder,  because  they  yield  him 
litle  or  no  profit,  and  both  breeder  and 
feeder  waste  their  time  in  producing 
such  a  type  of  steer  for  beef  purposes.

IS 


PREPARING    FOR    MARKET. 

After  the  turkeys  are  grown  and 
ready  for  market,  quite  as  much  care 
and  attention  should  be  given  to  the 
killing  and  shipping  as  to  the  proper 
growing.  Where  these  things  can  not 
be  done  to  good  advantage,  it  is  better 
to  sell  them  alive.  Buyers  who  are 
prepared  to'  kill  dress,  pack,  and  ship 
turkeys,  and  to  save  the  feathers, 
should  be  in  position  to  pay  what  they 
are  worth  alive;  and  should  be  able  to 
handle  them  at  a  profit,  better  than 
can  the  grower,  who  may  not  be  pre- 
pared to  do  the  work  to  advantage. 
So  much  depends  upon  marketing  them 
in  the  best  condition  that  small  grow- 
ers should  either  dress  and  sell  to 
their  home  market  or,  provided  it  can 
hs  dene  at  a  fair  price,  sell  alive  to 
someone  who  makes  a  business  of 
handling  such  stock. 

Kill  nothing  but  well  fattened  stock. 
It  seldom  pays  to  send  ill-favored 
stock  into  market.  Do  not  give  any 
food  to  the  turkeys  for  twenty-four 
hours  prior  to  killing.  This  allows  the 
crop  and  entrails  to  become  empty 
and  avoids  much  danger  of  spoiling. 
Full  crops  and  entrails  count  against 
value;  they  often' taint  the  meat  and 
prevent  its  being  kept  for  any  lengin 
of  time. 

There  are  two  methods  of  killing 
largely  used.  The  most  popular  is  to 
suspend  the  fowl  by  the  shanks,  head 
down,  and  cut  or  stick  it  in  the  root 
of  the  mouth  with  a  knife  made  es- 
sjoaos  situ,  •asod.tnd  siu,}  .101  -C[iopod 
the  arteries  and  cuts  into  the  brain, 
causing  insensibility  and  a  free  flow 
of  blood  from  the  mouth.'  This  is 
called  sticking  in  the  roof  of  the 
mouth. 

The  other  plan  is  to  break  the  neck 
by  a  quick  twist  or  jerk  backward. 
When  the  neck  is  completely  disjoined 
the  head  is  pulled  away  so  as  to  form 
an  open  space  in  the  neck  in  which 
the  blood  may  settle.  This  plan  has 
been  but  little  used,  though  the  claim 
is  made  that  when  so  killed  the  fowls 
will  keep  longer  because  there  is  no 
opening  by  which  the  air  can  get  into 
the  body,  as  there  is  when  they  are 
stuck  in  the  roof  of  the  mouth. 

Dry  picking  is  always  to  be  preferred 
when  preparing  the  fowls  for  market. 
When  in  fine  condition,  nicely  picked, 
and  sent  to  market  without  having 
been  packed  in  ice  a  turkey  is  at  Its 
best,  consequently  commands  the  high- 
est price.  As  soon  as  the  fowl  is  stuck 
and  the  blood  is  still  flowing,  pluck 
the  feathers  dry  from  its  body,  taking 
care  in  doing  it  not  to  break  the  skin 
or  tear  the  flesh.  Nothing  detracts  so 
much  from  dressed  poultry  as  torn 
places  upon  the  carcass  or  shanK, 
picking  must  be  clean  and  nicely  done. 
When  the  fowl  is  plucked  hang  it  head 
down  in  a  cool  place  until  all  animal 
heat  is  gone  from  the  body,  being  care- 
ful not  to  hang  it  where  it  will  be  so 
exposed  to  cold  air  as  to  be  likely  to 
freeze.  Do  not  remove  the  head,  feet, 
or  entrails,  but  have  the  whole,  in- 
ducing head  and  feet,  perfectly  clean. 

The  method  known  as  scalding  and 
plucking  is  too  familiar  to  need  com- 
ment further  than  to  say  that  care 
must  be  taken  not  to  scald  or  tear  the 
skin  or  shank.  Perform  this  operation 
as  neatly  as  possible.  As  soon  as  the 
animal  heat  has  left  the  body,  the  ap- 
pearance of  the  dressed  turkeys  may 
be  improved  by  submerging  for  a  short 
time  in  cold  water,  as  this  has  a  ten- 
dency to  make  them  plump,  whether 
dry  picked  or  scalded.  The  plucking 
should  be  done  as  quickly  as  possible; 
the  more  quickly  done,  the  more  rap- 
idly can  the  feathers  be  removed. 

For  shipping,  pack  as  closely  as  pos- 
sible into  close  boxes  or  barrels,  nicely 
lined  with  white  or  manila  paper;  do 
not  use  brown,  soiled  or  printed  paper. 
Have  the  package  completely  filled  so 
as  to  prevent  the  poultry  from  shift- 
ing in  transit;  do  not  use  hay  or  straw 
for  packing,  as  it  marks  or  stains  the 
fowls  and  detracts  from  their  value. 
The  above  method  can  only  be  used 
when  the  poultry  is  sent  to  market 
without  being  packed  in  ice,  and  when 
this  can  be  done  in  safety,  either  in 
refrigerator  cars  or  for  a  short  dis- 
tance in  cold  weather,  it  is  by  far  the 
best.  The  greater  part,  however,  must 
be  packed  in  ice.  When  necessary  to 
do  this,  use  nice  clean  barrels.  Cover 
the  bottom  with  broken  ice;  then  put 
in  a  layer  of  poultry,  then  a  layer  of 
ice;  continue  thus  until  the  barrel  is 
full.  Always  use  perfectly  clean  ice 
for  packing.  Head  the  barrel  eightly 
and  mark  its  contents  plainly  on  the 
head,  and  never  ship  mixed  lots  uf 
poultry  in  the  same  package  if  it  can 
be  avoided. — T.  F.  McGren.

HORSEMEN 

Should  Remember 

That  they  can  winter  their  strings  in  better  condition  at  the  Stables  of  the  Track  at 

Hotel  Del  Monte,  Del  Monte,  Cal. 

A  resort  by  the  Sea  where  it  is  summer  all  the  year.  The  Track  is  being  put  in  special  shape  for  Winter 
Racing  and  Training.  Horses  may  be  shipped  here  from  any  point  in  the  East,  and  special  terms  and  accom- 
modations will  be  arranged  for  them  and  for  their  trainers  and  keepers. 

There  is  no  Winter  Resort  in  the  world  like  Del  Monte,  and  owners  of  racing  stock  may  not  only  give  their 
horses  the  best  possible  opportunities  to  be  in  perfect  condition  for  spring  and  summer,  but  they  may  themselves 
enjoy,  together  with  their  families,  the  luxuries  and  comforts  of  the  great  hotel  close  at  hand. 

The  eighteen-hole  Golf  Links  are  the  finest  in  America,  with  greens  that  are  green  every  day  in  the  year. 

Excellent  Shooting  and  Fishing,  and  oiled  roads  for  Automobiling.

San    Francisco,    Saturday,  December    23,    1905 

THE  TEAR  JUST  CLOSING  may  not  have  been 
the  most  profitable  one  that  all  harness  horse  breed- 
ers have  enjoyed,  but  after  looking:  it  over  carefully  few 
will  be  able  to  find  reasons  sufficient  to  make  them  lose 
heart  In  the  future.  Well  bred  trotters  and  pacers  of 
quality  are  in  demand  at  good  prices,  and  the  mar- 
ket has  a  very  firm  condition.  The  big  auctions  in 
New  York,  Chicago,  Lexington  and  other  points  have 
been  very  remarkable  for  the  quality  of  horses  of- 
fered rather  than  for  the  quality.  We  believe  mort- 
horses  have  passed  under  the  hammer  this  year  than 
in  any  previous  twelve  months,  yet  prices  have  been 
sustained  to  the  very  last,  and  the  demand  is  still 
strong.  When  eleven  hundred  horses  can  be  sold  at 
one  sale  for  an  average  of  over  $400  each,  there'  is  no 
reason  to  believe  that  the  supply  is  anywhere  near 
the  demand  for  good  ones.  Racing  in  the  eastern  and 
middle  states  has  been"  excellent  this  year,  in  spite 
of  several  drawbacks.  The  time  has  averaged  faster 
than  ever  and  more  new  2: 10  performers  have  ap- 
peared than  any  previous  year  has  produced.  Here 
in  California  the  harness  racing  has  been  very  lim- 
ited, but  it  has  been  high  class,  and  clean.  The  trot- 
ting and  pacing  at  Santa  Rosa,  Fresno,  Sacramento 
and  Los  Angeles  has  been  up  to  the  best  that  is  held 
anywhere  in  the  world  so  far  as  close  contests  and 
.clean  racing  is  concerned.  California  farmers,  stock 
breeders  and  fruit  growers  have  had  a  fairly  pros- 
perous season,  while  mining*  has  enjoyed  a  boom  ano. 
real  estate  sales  were  never  so  numerous,  nor  prices 
higher.  Several  new  railroads  are  planning  to  enter 
our  State,  new  factories  are  being  established,  and 
every  citizen  is  looking  forward  with  confidence  to 
times  of  great  prosperity  for  many  years  to  come. 
The  breeders  of  harness  horses,  those  who  are  pro- 
ducing the  best  on  up-to-date  lines,  will  share  in  this 
prosperity  beyond  a  doubt  The  future  of  California 
is  most  bright  and  there  is  no  reason  why  there 
should  be  even  one  pessimist  among  California  horse- 
men. With  the  wish  that  every  reader  of  this  jour- 
nal may  enjoy  the  best  in  health  and  wealth  that  this 
glorious  land  affords,  we  extend  to  all  the  compli- 
ments of  the  season,  a  Merry  Christmas  and  a  Happy 
New  Tear. 


OWNS  FINE  RACING  STABLE. 


PUBLICATION  OF  THE  LISTS  of  new  standard 
performers  for  1905  is  deferred  until  after  the  meeting 
at  Phoenix,  Arizona,  which  opens  on  Monday,  De- 
cember 25th.  So  many  California  bred  horses  will 
take  part  in  these  races  with  a  probability  of  lowering 
their  records  that  the  lists  of  new  performers  will 
necessarily  be  incomplete  until  the  returns  are  in  from 
Phoenix. 


There  are  six  mares  that  divide  the  honor  of  having 
produced  two  trotters  with  records  of  2:10  or  better. 
They  are:  Beulah  by  Harold  (dam  of  Beuzetta  (4) 
2:06%  and  Early  Bird  2:10),  Cascarilla  2:25^  by 
Shelby  Chief  (dam  of  Caspian  2:07%  and  Caracalla 
2:10:  Nell  by  Estill  Eric  (dam  of  Belle  Vara  2:08% 
and  Tom  Axworthy  (4)  2:08%);  Lucy  Homer  by  Ho- 
mer (dam  of  Authoress  2:09%,  Lecco  2.09%;  Cap- 
-rara  by  Daniel  Lambert  (dam  of  Dandy  Jim  2:09% 
and  John  Mac  2:09%).  and  Emma  T.  2:17%  by  Socra- 
tes (dam  of  Miss  Adbell  (3)  2:09%  and  Emma  Brooks 
2:09%)  Of  these,  Beulah  was  the  youngest  mare 
to  have  two  in  2:10,  she  being  but  14  years  old  when 
her  second  trotter  came  into  the  select  circle.  Emma 
T.  comes  next,  being  IS  years  old.  She,  however,  holds 
the  honor  of  having  the  fastest  record.  Third  on  the 
list  comes  Caprara.  who  was  25  when  she  got  her 
second  2:10  trotter.  Cascarilla  comes  next,  being  26 
years  old,  and  old  Nell  comes  last,  she  being  aged  2? 
years  when  her  second  trotter  got  in. 


Twelve  or  fourteen  years  ago  W.  A.  Clark,  now 
Senator  from  the  State  of  Montana,  and  known  as  one 
of  the  wealthiest  mining  and  railroad  operators  in 
the  world,  campaigned  a  string  of  horses  on  the  Grand 
Circuit.  He  -  owned  the  fast  pacer  Major  Wonder 
2:09%,  Faust  2:18%,  Conde  2:19%  and  other  good 
money  winners.  Both  Gil  and  Jack  Curry  drove  for 
him  at  different  times,  and  Mr.  Jeffries,  father  of 
Charley  Jeffries,  also  piloted  winners  on  different 
occasions  for  the  copper  magnate.  Senator  Clark  re- 
tired from  the  turf  as  an  owner  years  ago,  but  his 
son,  W.  A.  Clark  Jr.,  is  becoming  one  of  the  promi- 
nent owners  whose  horses  are  seen  on  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit. Mr.  Clark  has  been  an  ardent  lover  of  the 
light  harness  horse  for  years,  is  an  excellent  amateur 
driver  and  has  demonstrated  the  fact  that  he  is  an  ex- 
cellent judge  of  a  horse  by  his  purchases.  He  has 
raced  through  the  Colorado  and  Montana  circuits  for 
several  years  past,  and  in  1904  concluded  that  he 
would  enjoy  seeing  his  horses  starting  for  the  big 
prizes  on  the  Grand  Circuit.  He  saw  Chas.  Marvin's 
great  colt  Bon  Voyage  by  Expedition  and  bought  him 
for  $10,000  as  a  two  year  old.  The  colt  won  the  two 
year  old  trotting  divisions  of  the  Horse  Review  and 
Kentucky  futurities,  closing  the  season  with  a  record 
of  2:15,  the  best  for  a  two  year  old  trotter  in  1904. 
He  was  wintered  in  California  and  is  at  the  close  of 
1905  the  fastest  three  year  old  trotting  colt  of  the 
year  with  a  record  of  2:12%. 

The  winnings  of  Bon  Voyage  in'  1904  were  $5,450, 
and  this  year  he  won  ?11,075.  He  is  beyond  question 
one  of  the  grandest  looking  three  year  olds  living,  as 
well  as  one  of  the  best  bred  ones.  His  sire  is  Expedi- 
tion 2:15%  by  Electioneer,  his  dam  the  great  brood 
mare  Bon  Mot,  dam  also  of  Endow  2:14%  and  Be- 
queath 2:20%. 

Ted  Hayes,  the  well  known  trainer  and  reinsman 
who  was  for  several  years  with  Bitter  Root  Farm, 
campaigned  Mr.  Clark's  horses  in  1904,  and  went 
east  with  them  this  year,  but  was  compelled  to  give 


MR.     W.     A.     CLARK    JR. 

up  training  on  account  of  illness,  and  the  horses  were 
raced  thereafter  by  J.  O.  Gerrity  with  excellent  suc- 
cess. The  racing  string  of  Mr.  Clark  is  now  at  Los 
Angeles  track  in  charge  of  Mr.  Gerrity,  and  com- 
prises Bon  Voyage  2:12%,  Marone  2.13%,  a  very' high 
class  trotter;  Sally  Dunn,  two  year  old  record  2:28. 
trial  this  year  2:15;  Electric  Maiden,  a  mare  from 
whom  great  things  are  expected,  and  the  fast  pacing 
mare  Miss  Georgie  2:10%,  by  McKinney  out  of  a 
Nutwood  Wilkes  mare  Miss  Georgie  was  timed  sep- 
arately in  2:06^2  this  year,  but  was  not  right  during 
the  early  part  of  the  season. 

Mr.  Clark  has  quite  a  number  of  brood  mares,  all 
of  which  are  now  quartered  at  Pleasanton  in  charge 
of  Ted  Hayes.  Among  them  are  the  following:  Hazel 
Wilkes  by  Guy  Wilkes,  Loucii  May  by  Oakland  Baron. 
She  by  Abbotsford,  Ruth  Mary  by  Directum,  Bay  Leaf 
by  Telephone,  Patty  D.  by  Altimas.  Biddy  by  Re- 
Election,  Douschka  by  Western,  Reina  Del  Diablo  by 
Diablo,  Christobel  by  Chas.  Derby,  Bon  Mot  by  Erin. 

Mr.  Clark  also  owns  the  stallion  Highland,  that  is  a 
very  high  class  horse  and  a  fast  trotter.  He  is  by 
Expresso,  own  brother  to  the  great  mare  Expressive, 
three  year  old  record  2:121,2,  and"  out  of  the  great 
brood  mare  Alpha  2:23'2  by  Alcantara. 

Highland  will  be  bred  to  some  of  these  choice 
mares  and  will  make  a  public  season  at  the  Pleas- 
anton track  He  gives  promise  of  being  a  great  sire. 
The  only  one  of  his  get  at  the  present  time  is  a  chest- 
nut filly  out  of  Reina  Del  Diablo.  She  is  a  handsome 
little  thing  and  was  seven  months  old  on  the  21st  of 
this  month.  She  has  only  been  in  harness  five  times 
and  the  fifth  time  she  was  hooked  up  she  showed  Mr. 
Hayes  an  eighth  in  25  seconds.  As  before  stated,  this 
is  Highland's  only  foal  and  if  she  is  a  sample  of  what 
he  is  going  to  get  he  will  bo  a  wonderful  sire. 

Among  the  others  in  Mr.  Hayes'  string  is  a  two 
year  old  by  McKinney,  dam  Tuna  2:12'-:.  that  showed 
a  half  in  36  seconds,  and  a  black  two  year  old  by 
McKinney,  dam  She.  that  can  step  better  than  a  40 
gait;  a  yearling  chestnut  filly  by  Nutwood  Wilkes, 
dam  Patty  D.  2:12%.  that  has  paced  quarters  better 


than  3S,  and  a  yearling  bay  filly  by  Nutwood  Wilkes 
out  of  She,  that  can  easily  show  close  to  a  40  gait. 

Kinney  Wilkes,  a  young  stallion  coming  five  vears 
old,  by  McKinney  out  of  that  great  race  mare  Hazel 
Wilkes  2.11%  by  Guy  Wilkes,  is  another  young  stal- 
lion that  Mr.  Clark  will  use  in  the  stud  some  and 
probably  race. 

All  of  Mr.  Clark's  breeding  interests  are  at  the 
present  time  in  charge  of  Mr.  Hayes  at  Pleasanton. 
It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Clark  will,  as  soon  as  he  finds 
a  place  to  suit  him,  purchase  a  place  where  he  will 
establish  a  breeding  farm  in  California. 

In  all  probability  Bon  Voyage,  after  making  a  short 
season  at  Los  Angeles,  will  finish  the  season  at 
Pleasanton,  where  he  will  be  bred  to  Mr.  Clark's 
choice  mares  and  be  allowed  to  make  a  limited  pub- 
lic season. 

The  advent  of  such  men  as  Mr.  Clark  into  the 
breeding  of  trotters  cannot  help  but  be  of  benefit  to 
the  State.  He  has  the  means  to  buy,  and  the  in- 
clination to  breed  none  but  the  best,  and  every  lover 
of  the  harness  horse  will  wish  him  nothing  but  suc- 
cess and  good  luck  in  his  venture.

MATINEE    RACING    AT    PHOENIX. 

I  enclose  herewith  score  card  for  our  matinee  given 
yesterday,  on  the  occasion  of  opening  our  new  fair 
grounds  and  racing  plant  to  the  public  This  was 
our  first  matinee  of  the  season,  and  it  was  a  moat 
enjoyable  affair — in  fact,  I  do  not  think  a  more  en- 
joyable, or  a  more  thoroughly  appreciated  matinee 
was  ever  given  anywhere.  The  weather  was  perfect, 
and  something  over  3,000  people  attended,  and  all 
were  very  enthusiastic  over  the  fast  time  and  close 
finishes  made  in  almost  every  heat.  There  was  no 
hitch  of  any  kind  in  the  program,  and  our  manage- 
ment was  the  recipient  of  many  nice  compliments  on 
the  character  of  the  matinee,  and  the  great  results 
obtained  in  the  building  of  such  a  fine  plant  and 
such  excellent  tracks  in  such  a  short  time. 

That  the  track  is  pretty  fast  was  evidenced  by 
the  ease  with  which  Hazel  Patch  and  Custer  paced 
the  last  half  of  the  first  heat  in  the  third  race  in 
1:02^,  last  quarter  in  30%  seconds.  Mr.  Sherman 
told  me  that  if  the  horse  and  conditions  continue  good 
till  race  day,  he  thinks  he  can  reduce  Hazel's  mark 
of  2.02%  here.  He  says  ours  is  unquestionably  the 
best  and  fastest  new  track  he  ever  saw,  and  he  be- 
lieves it  the  equal  of  any  in  the  world.  He  says, 
further,  that  he  considers  out  general  plant  the  equal 
of  any  in  the  country;  and  the  other  trainers  here 
all  agree  with  him  in  both  these  statements.  So  we 
feel  well  satisfied  that  the  result  of  our  free-for-all 
pace  will  be  to  set  our  track  record  pretty  low  at  our 
first  meeting.  The  visiting '  trainers  say  the  only 
thing  they  see  wrong  about  our  climate  is  the  fact 
it  is  so  fine  they  don't  see  how  they  can  resist  the 
temptation  to  train  their  horses  too  much. 

One  thing  that  seemed  to  attract  as  much  favorable 
comment  from  spectators  as  any  other,  was  the  neat 
appearance  of  the  grooms,  who  all  wore  white  coats 
and  caps  furnished  by  the  Association  The  general 
comment  which  this  feature  brought  out  would  seem 
to  indicate  that  the  general  public  don't  enjoy  the 
spectacle  of  a  horse  walking  past  the  stand  covered 
with  an  expensive  blanket,  while  his  groom  too  often 
is  covered  with  only  a  dirty  undershirt  and  pair  of 
trousers  without  any  suspenders. 

Commissioner  Packard  goes  to  Los  Angeles  tonight 
to  arrange  for  rounding  up  the  boys  and  looking  after 
transportation  matters  for  them,  and  we  expect  sev- 
eral carloads  of  horses  from  there  next  week. 
Tours  very  truly.

IN  FRONT  ALL  HIS  LIFE. 


Ever  since  Zombro  2:11  came  out  as  a  three  year 

old  and  and  down  ihe  Pacific  Coast,  meeting 

ir  olds  in  the  country  and   bearing 

%  forts  ts    that   year   in   better   than 

something:  no  other  three  year  old  trotter  ever 

accomplished   before  or  since,   he   has   been  a   leader. 

in   the  stud,   his  first  few  years  of  stud  duty 

short   and  limited,   as   he   was   in   training  and 

:  the  lime,  but  he  began  siring  speed  from 

■st  and  was  not  only  the  first  producing  son  of 

McKinney,    but   has   sired   more    standard   performers 

than  all  the  other  sons  of  that  great  horse  combined, 

and  has  e  the  fastest.     Besides  being  a  rec- 

as  a  race  horse  and  sire,  Zombro  is  a 

great  show  he    -  has  won  more  first  prizes  than 

any  stallion  in  California.     He  won  first  premium  at 

the  Horse  Show  in  San  Francisco  in  1SS5  in  the  three 

year  old   class.     He  won   first  premium   at   the   Cali- 

S  Fair  in  1900  and   1903,  and  at  the  Oregon 


other  filly,  Helen  Dare,  that  has  a  trial  of  2:15,  last 
half  in  1:05.  She  is  owned  by  Mr.  Beckers,  owner  of 
her    sire. 

Zombro  is  the  leading  money  winning  sire  of  the 
Coast  this  year.  His  daughter  Zephyr  won  over  $8000 
on  the  Grand  Circuit,  although  very  lame  all  season, 
and  then  sold  for  $1600,  although  veterinarians  said 
she  would  probably  never  race  again.  Trainer  Ruth- 
erford, who  raced  Helen  Norte  2:09  on  the  Grand 
Circuit,  said  he  saw  Zephyr  step  the  last  thre'e  quar- 
ters of  a  heat  in  1:32,  and  the  last  half  in  1:00%.  She 
made  two  breaks  going  round  the  first  turn,  and  then 


sire. 

Zombro  is  now  located  at  a  splendid  new  home 
which  his  owner,  Geo.  T.  Beckers,  has  built  for  him 
Mr.  Beckers  bred  this  great  horse  and  gave  him  his 
first  lessons,  but  that  is  another  story  and  an  inter- 
esting one,  the  relation  of  which  must  be  deferred  to 
another  time.  Owners  of  mares  who  are  desirous  of 
breeding  to  the  best  should  correspond  with  Mr. 
Beckers.  His  address  is  4645  Agricultural  avenue,  Los 
Angeles.

ZOMBRO    2:11    BY    McKINNEY    2:11>4 

Siate  Fair  in  1901,  and  1902.  He  won  the  gold  medal 
for  best  standard  bred  stallion  with  five  of  his  get  at 
Sacramento  in  1903.  At  the  Pasadena  Horse  Show 
last  April  he  was  awarded  first  prize  and  a  $75  loving 
cup  for  the  best  standard  bred  stallion  At  the  Lewis 
and  Clark  Exposition  at  Portland,  where  a  great 
horse  show  was  held  this  year,  Zombro  won  the  first 
prize,  the  champion  prize  and  the  grand  champion 
prize,  with  six  high  class  stallions  to  beat. 

Zombro  has  but  76  foals  that  are  four  years  old  or 
over,  and  out  of  these  but  forty  have  been  worked. 
Fifteen  of  them  have  stepped  miles  in  2:15  or  better, 
and  twenty-two  have  trotted  or  paced  in  2:20  or  bet- 
ter. Over  one-haif  of  those  worked  have  shown  2.20 
or  better.  This  is  a  great  showing  for  a  young  sire 
that  has  so  few  colts.  There  were  ten  foals  by  Zom- 
bro in  1S97,  eleven  in  1S9S,  thirteen  in  1S99,  thirty-two 
in  1900,  and  only  ten  in  1901.     Every  one  of  these  has 


GENERAL    J.     B.    FRISBIE,     A     HANDSOME     SON    OF    McKLNNEY 


trotted  the  last  half  in  one  minute  and  half  a  sec- 
ond, and  then  came  very  near  beating  Sadie  Mac  for 
the  heat,  Stimson  going  to  the  bat  to  win. 

Charley  T.  2:13%,  a  five  year  old  by  Zombro,  was 
the  biggest  money  winner  on  the  California  circuit 
this  year  that  started  in  purse  races.  Briquette,  a 
five  year  old  daughter  of  Zombro,  showed  a  mile  in 
2:13%  and  sold  for  $5000.  The  get  of  Zombro  have 
probably  sold  for  more  money  on  the  average  during 
the  past  few  years  than  the  get  of  any  other  sire. 
Zombro's  list  of  standard  performers  now  number 
eleven,  and  is  as  follows:  Zephyr  2.07%,  timed  sepa- 
.  rately  in  a  race  in  2:06%;  Charley  T.  2:13%,  trial 
2:10%;  Italia  2:14%,  over  half  mile  track,  trial  2:0S%, 
Bellemont,  three  years  old,  record  2:15%,  trial  2:11%: 
Zomboyette  2:1S,  trial  2:14%;  Zenobia  2.19,  trial  half 
in  1:05%;  Tee  Dee  Cee  2:19%,  trial  2:13%;  Lady 
Zcmbro  2:24,   trial  2:10;   Lord  Kitchener  2:24%,  trial 


ONE  OF  THE  VERY  BEST.

good  looks  and  is  n  fine  driver.  No  horse  over  sired 
colts  with  more  Intelligence  or  that  made  letter  road- 
ses.  Now  as  to  his  two  and  three 
year  olds,  they  all  show  speed.  There  are  a  dozen 
two  year  olds  that  have  shown  quarl  seconds, 

and   the   three  year  olds  are   showing   speed  like  old 

Look  at  Bellemont  2:15%,  the  three  yi 
Ally   that   holds   the  coast  trotting  record  of  her  age 
trotted  a   trial   mile  last  month   in 
.ml   sold  at  auction  for  $2500-     There    is    an- 


2:19%;  Zealous  2:26%,  trial  2.20;  Nina  Bonita  2:27. 

Those  that  have  no  records  but  have  shown  trials 
better  than  2:20  are  Bessie  Barnes  2:07%.  Colonel 
Green  2:10%,  Briquette  2:13,  Clara  B.  2:14,  Julia  M. 
Helen  Dare  2:15.  Mayo  2:15,  Mabel  TV.  2.1S%, 
Zombretta  2:15.  Edmond  S.  2:15.  Era  2:16,  Suomi  2:16, 
Zomalta  2:16%,  Oosola  2:17,  Early  Bird  2:18  and  Ger- 
aldine   2.19. 

All  the  above  trials  are  well  authenticated  and  they 
certainly  make  a  wonderful  showing  for  Zombro  as  a 


As  handsomely  and  perfectly  proportioned  as  any 
trotting  bred  horse  on  the  Pacific  Coast  is  the  young 
stallion  Gen.  J.  B.  Frisbie,  bred  and  owned  by  Mr. 
Tho. .  Smith  of  Vallejo.  a  gentleman  who  has  been 
identified  with  the  horse  breeding  interests  of  Cali- 
fornia for  many  years,  and  whose  efforts  have  always 
been  to  produce  horses  that  have  size,  courage,  en- 
durance and  kind  disposition.  Mr.  Smith  has  not  been 
what  one  would  call  an  extensive  breeder,  as  quality 
instead  of  quantity  has  been  his  motto,  but  the  Tear 
Books  show  that  he  has  bred  many  winners  and  trot- 
ters with  low  records.  Being  a  progressive  breeder 
it  is  not  strange  that  the  fine,  young  black  stallion 
which  he  has  placed  at  the  head  of  his  stud  should  be 
the  handsomest  and  most  promising  of  any  he  has 
heretofore  bred.  A  glance  at  his  likeness,  which  ap- 
pears herewith  will  show  what  a  grandly  proportioned, 
smoothly  turned,  stylish  individual  he  is,  and  his  looks 
are  backed  up  by  the  very  best  blood  lines,  he  being 
a  full  brother  to  Tom  Smith  2:13%.  His  sire  is  Mc- 
Kinney 2:11%  sire  of  no  less  than  forty  in  the  2:15 
list,  and  his  dam  is  the  great  brood  mare,  Daisy  S., 
dam  of  Tom  Smith  2:13%,  Gen.  Vallejo  2:20%,  Little 
Mac  (3)  2:27  and  Sweet  Rosie  2:28%.  Daisy  S.  is  a 
daughter  of  McDonald  Chief  35S3,  that  sired  five  stan- 
dard performers,  among  them  that  w-ell  known  trot- 
ters. Columbus  S.  2:17,  and  has  a  producing  son  and 
three  producing  daughters.  McDonald  Chief  was  by 
that  stout  bred  horse  Clark  Chief  59  and  out  of  a  mare 
by  thoroughbred  Bethune.  The  second  dam  of  Gen. 
J.  B.  Frisbie  is  another  great  brood  mare,  Fanny  Rose 
by  Ethan  Allen  Jr.  2903,  son  of  the  old  champion 
Ethan  Allen  and  a  mare  by  Hambletonian  2.  Fanny 
Rose  produced  George  "Washington  2:16%,  Columbus 
S.  2.17  and  Solano  Chief  2:29%.  The  third  dam  of 
Gen.  Frisbie  is  Jenny  land,  a  mare  known  to  be  nearly 
thoroughbred  but  whose  pedigree  was  lost.  Her  dam 
was  imported  to  this  State  from  Kentucky  before  the 
war,  and  was  purchased  there  for  a  race  mare.  She 
was  bred  to  a  thoioughbred  stallion  before  starting 
on  the  trip  and  foaled  a  filly  after  reaching  California. 
She  became  the  property  of  a  negro  who  forgot  or 
lost  all  trace  of  her  pedigree,  but  the  filly  was  trained 
and  raced  here  and  won  several  good  races,  among 
others  defeating  when  a  two-year-old  in  a  match  race 
a  filly  belonging  to  the  late  Nathan  Coombs  of  Napa. 
Jenny  Lind  produced  the  pacer  Prince  Allen  2:27,  one 
of  the  fastest  pacers  of  early  harness  racing  here  in 
California. 

Gen.  J.  B.  Frisbie  is  standard  and  registered.  He 
will  make  the  season  of  1906  at  the  stable  of  his 
owner.  Thos.  Smith,  at  Vallejo,  and  will  be  limited  to 
a  few  approved  mares  at  §25 -for  the  season.  Good 
pasturage  for  mares  can  be  furnished  at  S3  per  month. 
This  young  horse  is  a  fast  trotter,  as  the  public  will 
find  out  when  he  is'  raced.  The  opportunity  to  breed 
mares  to  a  son  of  the  great  McKinney  whose  first, 
second  and  third  .darns  were  all  producers,  and  two 
of  them  in  the  Great  Blood  Mare  Table,  is  seldom 
offered  at  the  figure  fixed  for  the  fee  of  this  horse  by 
his  owner,  and  when  the  individuality  and  speed  of  the 
stallion  are  taken  into  consideration  it  is  one  that 
surely  will  be  taken  advantage  of  early,  and  Mr. 
Smith  will  undoubtedly  be  compelled  to  close  his 
books  soon. 


In    hot    weather    there    is    no    drink    like    Jackson's 
Napa  Soda — plain  or  in  a  lemonade.

A  ROYALLY  BRED  TWO=YEAR=OLD. 

.    Few  men  that  have  devoted  a  part  of  their  time  to 
[;he  theoretical  study  of  breeding  the    trotting  horse 
,knd  at  the  same  time  had  a  deep  practical  knowledge 
of  the  business,  ever  met  with  greater  success,  con- 
sidering   the    number   of   horses    bred,    than    the   late 
Hon.  W.  B.   Greene.  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Alameda  county,  whose  death  a  few  months  ago  ended 
•:he  earthly  career  of  one  of  California's  most  honored 
iand  respected  citizens.     Judge  Greene  was  a  lover  of 
trotting  horses  and  bred  them  for  the  pleasure  it  af- 
■tforded  him  as  a  relaxation  from  the  arduous  duties 
bf  the  bench,  to  which  he  actually  devoted  too  much 
tf  his  time.     The  writer  well  remembers  a  conversa- 
tion held  in  1902  with  Judge  Greene,  in  which  he  re- 
marked:      "I    intend    sending    my    filly    Diavolo    by 
Diablo  2:09%  to  Zombro  this  year,  as  I  believe  a  foal 
|from  that  mating  will  trot  fast,  and  if  a  colt  prove  an 
I  Excellent  sire."     When  the  foal  arrived  it  was  a  colt, 
fvhich  is  now  two  years  old  and  gives  every  promise 
bf  fulfilling  the  expectation  of  his  lamented  breeder. 
I  (The  colt  is  now  owned  by  Mr.  W.  J.  Dingee,  the  well 
vnown  capitalist  of  this  city,  who  was  a  warm  per- 
i  honal  friend  of  Judge  Greene,  and  interested  with  the 
Matter  in  the  breeding  of  trotters.     The  colt  has  been 
Lhamed  Edward  McGary  and,  as  the  picture  shows,  is 
fli  very  handsomely   proportioned  trotter.     The  repu- 
tation of  his  sire.  Zombro  2.11,  is  established,  both  as 
Li  race  horse  and  a  sire.     Diavolo  is  a  young  and  un- 
tried   filly,    but    has    great   natural    speed.      Her   sire, 
liiiablo  2:09%,  is  one  of  California's  great  speed  sires 
Und  one  of  the  best  bred  horses  living.     The  second 
lam  of  this  colt  is  Billy  Langtry,  a  great  brood  mare

rich  in  producing  blood  as  can  be  found  in  the  record- 
ed pedigree  of  any  horse  in  the  stud  books.  She  has 
produced  five  standard  performers  and  her  daughter 
Diavolo  is  destined  to  be  as  great  in  the  brood  mare 
line  as  the  illustrious  mother.  Ed.  McGary  is  a  typi- 
cal Zombro.  He  has  been  nicely  broken  by  Mr.  K. 
O'Grady  of  San  Mateo,  one  of  the  best  colt  breakers 
in  this  country,  and  on  the  first  of  the  new  year  will 
be  sent  to  that  great  driver  of  champions,  Budd 
Doble,  who  expects  him  to  be  one  of  the  star  pupils 
of  his  school  at  the  San  Jose  track.     As  the  colt  Is 


entered  in  $40  000  worth  of  stakes  much  interest  will 
be  taken  in  his  development  and  progress  by  others 
than  his  owner. 

At  Mr.  Dingee's  home,  near  Redwood  City,  which, 
by  the  way.  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  country 
seats  on  the  whole  Pacific  Slope,  he  has  collected  a 
small  band  of  brood  mares,  eight  or  ten  in  all.  and 
will  enjoy  seeing  them  raise  foals  that  w-ill  be  ex- 
pected to  develop  speed  when  they  are  sent  to  the 
trainer's  hands.  There  is  now  at  Dingee  Park,  as 
this1  beautiful  home  is  called,  a  filly  by  Sidney  Dillon 
out  of  the  good  race  mare  Flora  M.  2:16  by  Richards 
Elector  that  bears  the  pretty  name  of  Virginia  Dillon. 
She  is,  as  her  picture  shows,  about  as  perfect  a 
yearling  as-could  be  pictured  in  one's  mind's  eye  and 
great  things  are  expected  of  her. 


Hay  production  in  California  is  entirely  different 
rem  that  in  almost  every  other  State.  In  the  east 
here  are  but  few  kinds  of  hay,  the  principal  staple 
.rticlc  being  timothy,  and  it  is  much  the  same  in  all 
ections  and  can  be  graded,  as  there  is  a  uniformity 
^bout  it  wherever  you  find  it. 

In  California,  however,  one  farmer  may  raise  wheat 
lay,  his  neighbor  red  oat  hay,  another  barley  or 
larl'ey  and  oat  mixed,  or  wheat  and  oat  mixed,  while 
itill  another  will  have  volunteer  wild  oat  hay.  Then 
me  will  have  a  first  class  article  and  his  neighbor  an 
nferior  article,  location  and  climatic  conditions  hav- 
ng  much  to  do  with  the  production  of  good  hay. 

The  man  whose   product  brings  the  fancy  price  is 

-enerally    the    one    who    makes    a    close    study    of    it, 

'vatches  results  and  year  after  year  improves  on  his 

nethods.     In  California  there  is  practically  no  danger 

if  rain  spoiling  the  hay,  excepting  volunteer  wild  oat 

ly,  which  is  cut  so  early  that  it  sometimes  gets  a 

iwer,  but  wheat,  wheat  and  oat,  red  oat,  barley  or 

■ley  and  oat  are  generally  safe. 

The  methods  generally  followed  in  the  larger  and 

lost    successful    hay    districts    are    to    cut    the    hay 

tickly,  irrespective  of  kind,   running  from  two  to  a 

If  dozen  mowing  machines  if  necessary.     In  a  few 

urs   follow   with   rake,  and  after  curing  a  little  in 

le   winrow,    put    it   into    shock.      Then   in   fifteen   or 

.renty  days  stack  it,  and  bale  any  time  after  it  has 

>een  in  stack  thirty  days 

One  of  the  great  essentials  is  to  get  a  bright  green 

•olor      Manv   of  our   most   successful  haymakers   cut 

vhen  the  straw  is  right,  irrespective  of  the  condition 

,t  the  grain  in  the  head.    Very  frequently  there  is  no 

train  at  all  in  the  head,  but  the  straw  is  one  bright, 

•ispy,  uniform  green  in  color,  very  sweet,  and  stock 

it  every  particle  of  it  and  do  well. 

At   one   time    it   was   considered   here   in   California 

.at  hay  was  not  first  class  without  grain  m  the  head. 

,nd  everything  else  was  sacrificed  to  attain  that  re- 

.ult     This  was  particularly  so  with  growers  of  wheat 

.nd  red  oat  hay,  but  it  is  not  so  now.     Color  is  the 

le  great  quality  desired  to  get  a  good  selling  article, 

id   properly   colored   and   cured  hay   commands  the 

■gest  price. 

The  two  great  hay  producing  sections  of  California 
•e  the  Livermore  Valley  and  the  Hollister  section, 
both  these  locations  climatic  conditions  are  most 
rarable  The  country  about  Stockton  is  also  coming 
the  front  as  a  large  producer,  but  Hollister  is  the 
rgest  shipping  point  in  the  State,  and  this  section 
■oduces  one-fifth  of  the  State's  supply.  It  has  the 
rgest  hay  warehouses  in  the  world,  the  plant  cover- 
r  37  V-  acres  The  four  warehouses  of  this  plant 
juld  extend  over  a  quarter  of  a  mile  if  placed  end 
end,  and  they  hold  16.500  tons.  Hollister  station 
ips  an  average  of  2700  carloads  of  hay  annually, 
une  years  even  more. 
The  eastern  trade  is  supplied  principally  from  the 
■ivermore  and  Hollister  districts.  This  is  a  growing 
emand  and  was  created  in  a  very  simple  way.    Owing 


to  the  mild  winters  in  California  many  eastern  racing 
stables  winter  their  horses  here,  and  at  first  brought 
their  fancy  timothy  hay  with  them.  But  in  training 
their  horses  on  the  same  tracks  where  our  California 
trainers  were  feeding  California  hay  it  soon  became 
very  evident  that   our  horses   had  more   spirit,  more 


nia,   order   large   quantities  of  Hollister  hay  and  the 
demand  is  increasing  annually.

The  lot  of  Chinese  horses  and  mules  is  not  a  happy 
one.  The  Chinese  cart  is  a  peculiar  affair,  and  appears 
to  be  of  much  the  same  type  as  in  ancient  days.  The 
ordinary  passenger  cart  is  dragged  by  one  animal  in 
the  towns  and  by  two  in  the  country.  The  country 
cart  employed  for  hauling  produce,  and  also  for 
domestic  purposes  by  the  great  bulk  of  population, 
is  a  machine  of  phenomenal  weight.  The  wheel  of 
one  of  them  was  found  to  weigh  177  pounds,  and 
the  axle  fifty-seven  pounds  in  addition,  giving  a  total 
of  411  pounds  for  the  wheels  alone.  The  shafts  are 
stout,  as  they  need  to  be,  and  if  the  cart  upsets,  a  by 
no  means  infrequent  occurrence,  they  pin  the  shaft 
animal  to  the  ground.  To  these  farm  carts,  mules, 
horses,  cows  and  donkeys  are  hitched  by  means  of 
ropes  fastened  to  the  axles,  and  to  make  these  beasts 
pull  together  is  a  task  to  which  no  Occidental  would 
aspire.  When  the  British  troops  marched  on  Pekin 
in  1860  these  Chinese  carters  deserted,  and  the  men 
could   do   nothing  with   the  teams. — Ex.

power  and  seemed  to  be  better  nourished,  while  they 
ate  their  hay  up  cleaner  than  did  those  fed  on  the  im- 
ported timothy.  Naturally  the  eastern  trainers  sub- 
stituted our  California  hay  for  their  imported  article, 
and  when  they  returned  east  there  was  California  hay 
in  the  car.  and  in  many  instances  orders  were  left  for 
carloads  to  be  shipped  to  different  points  where  their 
horses  were  to  race.  Soon  others  learned  its  value 
and  merit  and  in  this  way  quite  an  extensive  eastern 
trade  has  been  built  up.  Hay  is  now  shipped  direct  to 
Chicago,  New  York.  Cincinnati.  Lexington  and  a  num- 
ber of  other  points,  and  many  of  the  largest  stables 
of  race  horses  use  none  but  California  hay.  A  great 
deal  of  hay  is  also  shipped  to  Honolulu  and  to  the 
Philippines,   and  up  and  down   the  Coast. 

The  San  Francisco  trade,  exclusive  of  the  shippers, 
consumes  about  123,000  tons  annually.  Oakland  is  a 
large  consumer,  while  San  Jose,  Los  Angeles  and

TWO    SPLENDID    MARES. 


^M«MIKl^™™iS§ 


The  most  successful  breeders  are  those  who  pick 
their  matrons  with  as  much  care  as  they  do  their 
stallions.  While  a  high  class  stallion  that  has  a  repu- 
tation is  a  very  profitable  animal  to  own,  he  generally 
represei  >'  investment,   if  not   in  money,   in 

le  and  hard  work.  The  owner  of  a  few 
high  class  mares,  however,  generally  does  not  have 
a  fortune  invested,  and  the  returns  he  receives  on  the 
t  the  produce  are  larger  in  proportion  to  the 
investment  than  those  of  the  average  slall.on  owner. 

As  an  investment  made  with  the  idea  that  it  will 
"pay"  which  is  the  main  idea  of  every  investment 
nowadays,  there  is  none  that  presents  better  opportu- 
nities than  the  purchase  of  one  or  both  of  two  mares 
now  owned  by  Mr.  John  A.  Cole  of  San  Bernardino, 
President  of  the   San  Bernardino  Driving  Club. 

One  of  these  mares  is  Hazel  Kinney  2:09%,  the  first 
of  the  trotters  sired  by  McKinney  to  enter  the  exclu- 
sive 2:10  list,  which  she  did  at  Woodland,  August 
29th.  1900,  defeating  Phoebe  Childers  2:10%  and  Iran 
Uto2.12%  in  three  straight  heats  in  2:091i,  2:10%  and 
In  the  first  heat  she  trotted  the  last  three- 
quarters  of  her  mile  in  1:33.  a  2:04  gait.  Hazel  Kin- 
ney is  by  McKinney  2:11%,  dam  Baby's  Gi-'t.  dam  also 
of  the  trotter  Nina  Bonita  2:2,.  by  Christmas  12253, 
second  dam  Baby  Arthurton.  by  a  son  of  Arthurton 


HAZEL    KINNEY    2:09J£. 

365.  third  dam  Gipsy  by  California  Tenbroeck,  thor- 
oughbred She  is  a  blood  bay,  full  sixteen  hands, 
weighs  1150  pounds,  and  is  a  perfect  model  of  the 
high  class  trotting  mare.  ■  No  more  beautifully  gaited 
animal  ever  wore  harness  and  there  was  never  one 
more  sound  in  wind  and  limb.  If  put  in  training 
again  she  should  lower  her  record  at  least  three 
seconds,  and  sell  for  three  or  four  times  as'  much  as 
Mr.  Cole  asks  for  her  now. 

The  other  mare  that  Mr.  Cole  offers  for  sale  is  the 
three-year-old  brown  filly.  April  Rose,  also  by  Mc- 
Kinney. She  was  bred  at  the  famous  Palo  Alto  Farm 
and  is  a  full  sister  to  Mack  Rose,  the  young  stallion 
which  Mr.  Cole  sold  for  a  long  price  to  Geo.  S.  New- 
man of  Colorado,  who  recently  founded  a  stock  farm 
twelve  miles  out  of  Denver.  Mr.  Cole  states  it  as 
his  firm  opinion,  founded  on  what  he  has  seen  her  do. 
that  she  is  the  best  green  three-year-old  filly  in 
America  to-day.  No  one  that  ever  saw  her  move 
questions  her  extreme  speed  She  can  step  at  any 
time  an  eighth  of  a  mile  in  15  seconds,  and  last  June, 
with  only  five  months  work,  trotted  a  mile  in  2:18, 
and  a  half  in  1:05%.  She  is  pure  gaited  and  never 
makes  a  mistake.  Hre  dam,  Sweet  Rose,  has  a  trot- 
ting record  of  2:25%,  made  as  a  yearling,  which  is 
close  to  the  world's  record  of  2:23,  held  by  Adbell. 
Sweet  Rose  is  by  the  great  sire  Electioneer  out  of  the 
great  brood  mare,  Rosemont  by  Piedmont  2.17%, 
second  dam  the  greatest  of  brood  mares.  Beautiful 
Bells,  dam  of  ten  in  the  list,  by  The  Moor,  and  third 
dam  Minnehaha,  dam  of  eight  in  the  list,  by  Steven's 
Bald  Chief.  Mr.  Cole  very  pointedly  says  that  if  any 
nows  of  any  better  bred  McKinney  than  this 
one  he  would  like  to  have  them  say  so,  as  he  likes 
and  it  will  be  news  to  him,  also  if  there  is  any 
better  individual  or  any  faster  trotter  of  her  age, 
considering  the  length  of  time  she  has  been  training. 
Any  person  desirous  of  knowing  anything  further  of 
wo  McKinney  mares  should  address  Mr.  John  A. 
at  San  Bernardino. 


NOTES    AND    NEWS 


Tom  Smith  2:  mi,  Prof.  E.  P.  Heald's  handsome 
and  fast  trotting  stallion  by  McKinney,  will  mafe 
the  season  of  1S06  at  Woodland  in  charge  of  C.  A. 
Spencer,  the  well  known  superintendent  of  the  Wood- 
land Stock  Farm  The  breeders  of  Tolo  county  could 
not  look  for  a  better  stallion  to  breed  to  next  year. 


The  East  View  Farm  Stable  won  upwards  of  $23,000 
last  season,  the  largest  amount  won  by  horses  belong- 
ing to  one  man. 

Charles  Whitehead,  owner  of  that  good  Director 
stallion  Delphi  2:12%,  will  again  make  a  season  with 
him  at  Salinas  in  1906.  He  writes  that  the  harness 
horse  business  is  thriving  in  that  section.  Everyone 
seems  to  want  to  get  another  colt  like  Mr.  Iverson's 
North  Star  that  won  everything  he  was  entered  m 
this  vear.  Whitehead  has  eight  of  Mr.  Iverson's 
horses  in  training.  North  Star  has  filled  out  until  he 
looks  like  a  different  horse.  He  will  not  be  raced 
again  until  1907,  and  Whitehead  believes  he  is  a  2:07 
trotter  three  times  in  a  race  if  there  ever  was  one. 
Princss  2:13%  is  looking  good.  Alma,  green  trotter 
by  Dexter  Prince,  trotted  a  trial  in  2:24;  Rosier,  two 
years  old.  by  Engineer,  dam  by  Guy  Wilkes,  has  trot- 
ted a  quarter  in  41  seconds.  She  is  in  the  Stanford 
Stake.  Derby  Beauty,  two  years  old.  trotted  a  quar- 
ter in  40  seconds.  She  is  in  the  Breeders'  and  the 
Occident  Stakes.  Robineer,  a  two-year-old  by  Robin, 
out  of  Ivoneer,  dam  of  North  Star,  paced  a  quarter 
in  35%  seconds.  Dictatus  Bell,  by  Dictatus  out  of 
the  dam  of  Princess  2:13%,  and  Prince  Gift  2:12. 
paced  a  quarter  in  34  seconds.  A  yearling  by  Baron- 
dale  is  proving  quite  a  trotter  and  is  entered  in  all 
the  stakes.  Delia  Derby  is  in  fine  shape  now,  and  with 
no  more  bad  luck  will  give  a  good  account  of  herself 
in  the  Breeders'  and  Occident  Stake  next  year.  Mr. 
Whitehead  has  four  of  Mr.  C.  Z.  Heberfs  horses. 
Bruno  2:16.  a  gray  mare  by  Bruno  that  trotted  a  mile 
in  2:21%  and  an  eighth  in  16  seconds,  and  is  a  good 
prospect  to  race  next  season:  also  two  pacers  by  Ham 
bletonian  Wilkes  with  trials  of  2.20%.  and  2:19,  re- 
spectively, to  cart.  T  '  Flint's  green  pacer  stepped 
a  quarter  in  32%  seconds:  M.  J.  Smeltzer's  trotter 
tiialed  in  2:2S  and  his  pacer  in  2:30.  Both  are  by 
Dictatus.  T.  Butler's  X  Ray  has  been  shifted  to  the 
pace  and  looks  like  as  good  a  pacer  as  his  daddy. 
Rev  Direct  2:10.  County  Treasurer  James  Taylor  has 
a  good  prospect  in  a  full  brother  to  Princess  2:13% 
Mr.  Whitehead  is  also  working  two  very  promising 
colts  owned  by  Mr.  Hoyt  of  WatsonviUe.  Toppy  2:10 
will  surely  race  next  year  and  the  2:10  pacers  had 
better  look  out  for  him. 


Woodland  Stock  Farm  had  five  three  year  olds  by 
Nushagak  in  training  this  year  that  could  beat  2:30 
and  three  that  could  beat  2:20.  There  w7ere  only  two 
of  -his  two  year  olds  trained;  one  of  them  could  have 
stepped  a  mile  in  2:20  in  June  and  the  other  was  able 
to  trot  a  mile  in  2:30  with  a  little  over  three  months' 
work.  Nushagak  has  one  five  year  old  and  two  four 
year  olds  out  of  common  mares,  therefore  his  oldest 
colts  out  of  good  mares  since  the  crop  Aristo  2:0S14 
came  from  are  three  year  olds.  He  has  but  ten 
colts  that  are  three  years  old  or  over  entered  in 
stakes,  and  three  of  them  have  started  and  been 
winners  of  either  first  or  second  money.  This  is  a 
remarkably  good  showing.  Prince  Ansel,  Woodland 
Stock  Farm's  other  sire,  has  but  three  four  year  olds 
(his  oldest  foals).  One  has  been  trained  and  could 
beat  2:20  as  a  three  year  old,  and  this  year  as  a  four 
year  old  worked  a  mile  in  2:17,  last  three  quarters  iu 
1:40,  last  half  in  1.05%,  last  quarter  in  31%  seconds, 
hitched  to  a  cart.  Prince  Ansel  has  three  three  year 
olds,  and  but  one  has  been  trained;  he  could  beat  2:20 
this  season.  A  couple  of  yearlings  by  him  have  been 
broken  and  handled  a  little  and  both  show  exceei 
ingly  well.  Mr.  Spencer,  superintendent  of  the  fat 
says  the  only  twTo  colts  by  this  horse  that  have  bei 
trained  are  capable  of  trotting  in  2 :  10  and,  barrinj 
cidents,  he  believes  they  will  do  so.  Prince  Ansel  w; 
a  great  two  year  old,  taking  a  mark  of  2:20%,  and  di 
f eating  John  A.  McKerron  2:04%  that  year.  But 
the  accident  in  which  he  went  wrong  he  would  hai 
been  a  2:10  trotter. 


It  is  reported  that  the  fast  trotter  McKinley  2:06*4 
is  being  trained  at  the  pace  and  taking  kindly  to  that 
way  of  going,  while  the  pacing  stallion  Allerson  2:05% 
is  to  be  tried  at  the  trot. 


Lon  McDonald  will  winter  at  Andover,  Mass.,  where 
he  will  have  in  charge  such  well  known  performers  as 
Glenw-ood  M.  2:07%,  Claymos  2:07%.  Miss  Adbell  (3) 
2:09%.  Swift  B  2.12%,  the  fast  green  trotter  Baron 
Wedgewood,  and  Sadie  Fogg  by  The  Director  General, 
the  latter  being  the  three  year  old  filly  that  beat  2:10 
at  the  Lexington  meeting  and  sold  for  §12,500. 


The  law  prohibiting  betting  on  horse  races  enacted 
by  the  last  Tennessee  legislature  went  into  effct  De- 
cember 1.  A  few  days  since  a  race  was  run  on  the 
Shelbyville,  Tenn.,  track,  on  which  books  were  made, 
it  being  the  object  of  the  horsemen  there  to  make  a

were  promptly  arrested  by  the  sheriff  and  the  decision 
of  the  courts  in  the  case  is  being  awaited  with  great 
interest. 


Glendale.  that  took  a  two  year  old  record  of  2:26.

2:10.  This  handsome  son  of  Ondale.  son  of  Onward 
2:lT,i4,  is  owned  by  J.  H.  Thayer  and  Henry  Bos-

Hazel  Patch  2:02%  has  worked  a  mile  in  1:59% 
since  his  arrival  at  Phoenix  and  will  race  there  Christ- 
mas week  and  then  return  to  San  Diego.  Cal.,  where 
he  will  go  against  the  California  track  record  Feb- 
ruary 22d,  after  which  he  will  be  given  a  rest  until 
May  1st,  when  he  w-111  be  trained  for  the  free-for-all 
classes  on  the  Grand  Circuit  for  1906.  Hazel  Patch 
is  35  pounds  heavier  now  than  when  he  went  his  first 
race  in  July  and  has  raced  nearly  every  week  since 
and  been  shipped  10,000  miles.  His  legs  are  as  sound 
and  clean  as  the  day  he  was  foaled. 


At  a  recent  sale  at  Philadelphia  the  trotter  Ed 
Bryan  2:16%  by  Little  Corporal,  that  holds  the  two 
and  three  mile  '  Grid's  record  to  wagon,  was  sold  to 
ex-Congressman  John  E.  Reyburn  for  $3250.  The 
bidding  on  the  trotter  was  very  animated,  starting 
at  $300,  and  went  in  $100  bids  to  over  $2000  in  a  short 
period.  Congressman  Reyburn's  representative  met 
every  advance  by  a  nod  of  the  head  nonchalantly. 
Miles  Rigor,  owner  of  Gedney  King,  got  in  the  game 
at  the  $1500  mark  and  ran  him  up  to  $2500,  then 
threw  up  his  hands.  A  Mr.  Seyert,  said  to  be  a  mil- 
lionaire iron  merchant,  went  to  $2S00,  and  then  a  New 
York  horseman  joined  in  the  game  and  bid  up  to 
$3225,  the  Reyburn  man  still  nodding  for  $3250  and 
named  Reyburn  as  the  purchaser. 


The  annual  stockholders'  meeting  of  the  Kings 
County  Agricultural  Association  was  held  last  Mon 
day.  The  financial  statement  of  the  secretary  shows 
the  association  to  be  in  good  condition.  C.  L.  New- 
port. John  Hayes.  Frank  Johnson.  M.  Bassett.  J.  M. 
Daggs,  J.  W.  McCord,  H.  G.  Lacey  were  elected  di 
rectors. 


James  Thompson  of  California  is  not  the  only 
trainer  that  started  in  the  matrimonial  stakes  this 
year  and  won  out.  An  eastern  paper  states  that  Joe 
Gahagan  of  Toledo  was  married  in  Detroit  a  few  days 
ago  to  Miss  Maud  Scott,  a  handsome  and  accomplished 
lady  of  that  city. 


It  looks  as  though  there  would  be  little  doing  in 
Memphis  in  1906.  An  eastern  paper  states  that  Mur- 
ray Howe,  who  has  acted  as  secretary  of  the  Mem- 
phis Trotting  Association  since  the  organization,  has 
accepted  a  position  on  the  advertising  staff  of  the 
People's  Gas  Light  and  Coke  Co.  of  Chicago,  one  of 
C.  K  G.  Billings'  western  business  interests.  The 
Memphis  track  will  remain  open  for  another  season  at 
least  as  a  training  establishment,  and  it  is  hoped  that 
within  that  time  the  law  prohibiting  pool  selling,  as 
passed  by  the  last  legislature,  will  be  repealed  or  de- 
clared void. 


An  item  is  going  the  rounds  of  the  eastern  turf  pa- 
pers that  Dr.  Berthiaume  of  Providence  refused  $10,- 
000  for  the  three  year  old  Carakina  by  McKinney 
2:11%,  out  of  Blscara  (dam  of  six  by  Director  2:17, 
after  he  had  shown  a  mile  in  2:16%  to  jog  cart,  over 
the  Woonsocket  half  mile  track,  a  performance  equal 
to  2:10  over  a  mile  track.  This  is  one  of  the  colts 
purchased  by  Dr.  Berthiaume  last  year,  bred  at  Santa 
Rosa  Stock  Farm.  The  other  McKinney  colt,  out  of 
a  mare  by  Bay  Rose,  is  said  to  be  nearly  as  prom 
ising. 


Lecco  2:09%   was  shipped  from  Pleasanton  to  Ma 
con.    Georgia,    by    Ed    Mills.      Dan    Selso'r,    the    well 
known  caretaker,  who  has  had  charge  of  Lecco  since 
the  horse  first  came  to  California,  went  with  him,  and 
writes  that  Lecco  shipped  through  in  fine  shape.

Zibbell  &  Son  have  the  little  horse  Adam  G.  2:11%, 
home  at  their  stable.  672  11th  Ave..  San  Francisco,  for 
the  winter,  where  they  expect  to  keep  him  and  get 
him  in  the  pink  of  condition  to  race  next  year. 
Everyone  thought  him  capable  of  beating  2:10  this 
year  and  many  who  have  seen  him  work  think  2:05 
won't  stop  him  next  year.  They  have  twenty  other 
horses  in  their  stable,  which  they  are  preparing  for 
sale  or  racing.  Anyone  wanting  to  buy  a  good  horse 
will  do  well  to  call  on  them,  for  they  have  them  from 
a  good  road   horse  up  to  the  great   trotter.  Adam  G. 


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

W.Her  R.  Cox  of  New  Hampshire  has  purchased 
at  private  sale  the  five-year-old  stallion  Grancino 
2.18%,  which  was  sold  in  the  Old  Glory  auction  for 
$1200.  Just  how  much  of  an  advance  Cox  paid  is  not 
known,  but  it  is  said  to  be  a  generous  one,  as  the 
New  England  trainer  thinks  well  of  the  black  horse 
and  expects  that  he  will  be  the  star  of  his  stable  in 
1906.  Grancino  is  by  Directum  and  his  dam  was  Miss

The  tracks  that  are  kept  in  condition  for  training 
generally  receive  enough  patronage  to  pay  for  the 
expense. 


The  third  payment  of  $25  in  the  Occident  Stake  of 
1906  will  be  due  and  payable  January  1st  If  you  ex- 
pect to  win  the  rich  Occident  Stake  at  the  next  State 
Fair,  make  this  payment  without  fail,  as  failure  to 
make  it  will  declare  your  colt  out. 


There  are  fifteen  trotters  and  pacers  that  have  rec- 
ords from  1:5514  to  2.02,  and  five  of  them,  or  one- 
third,  trace  to  the  two  full  brothers  Alcyone  2:27,  and 
Alcantara  2:23.  Nine  of  them  trace  one  or  more  times 
to  George  Wilkes  2:22. 


The  fast  record  sires  are  at  the  front  as  shown  by 
the  new  2:10  trotting  list  in  which  the  following  six 
represented  have  records  below  2:10:  Directum  2:0514, 
Bingen  2:06*4,  Peter  the  Great  2:07%,  William  Penn 
2:07*4,  Del  Norte  2:08,  and  Henry  F.  2:09%. 


Geers  will  winter  Dr    Strong  2.05%  at  Memphis  and 
will  probably  race  him  in  the  Grand  Circuit  in  1906. 


Frank  Turner,  proprietor  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock 
Farm,  has  twenty-six  Sidney  Dillons,  from  weanlings 
to  three-year-olds.  Every  one  old  enough  to  be  trained 
can  trot  or  pace  a  mile  in  standard  time,  and  several 
can  heat  2.20  away  off.     It's  a  great  family. 


"I  thought  your  horse's  name  was  Bill."  "It  was 
but  I've  changed  it  to  Coal  Bill."  "Jet  black,  I  sup- 
pose?" "Yes,  but  that  isn't  the  reason  I  call  him 
Coal  Bill.  I  put  him  on  the  scales  yesterday,  and  he 
lacked  500  pounds  of  weighing  a  ton." 


Many  owners  of  good  mares  in  this  section  would 
like  to  see  Zombro  2:11  make  the  season  of  1906  some- 
where around  the  bay  of  San  Francisco. 


A  great  prospect  for  next  season's  Eastern  futurities 
for  three-year-old  trotters  is  the  filly  Daffodil  2:19%, 
by  Directly  2:03%,  dam  Falfa  2:20  by  Allerton  2:09%. 
This  product  of  developed  sire  and  dam  before  going 
into  winter  quarters  trotted  a  mile  in  2:14%,  the  last 
half  covered  in  1:05%.  She  is  owned  by  W.  H.  Smol- 
linger  of  Galesburg,  111.,  who  also  owns  the  good  mare 
Angiola  2:07%,  and  has  been  developed  by  Oscar  Ames. 


It  looks  as  though  the  daughters  of  Nutwood  2:08% 
may  eventually  be  credited  with  300  standard  perform- 
ers. Not  less  than  25S  produced  by  them  have  already 
taken  standard  records,  and  many  of  his  daughters 
are  still  in  the  brood  mare  ranks. 


As  an  instance  of  what  the  Horse  Show  does  for  the 
dealer,  here  are  a  few  sales  which  came  under  my 
notice,  and  there  are  scores  of  which  I  know  nothing. 
Of  those  I  do  know,  William  H.  Moore -paid  $22,000 
for  a  pony  Torchfire  and  four  Hackney  mares;  $10,000 
for  Eloquence  and  Revenue;  $5,000  for  "Victory  and 
Victor,  and  $5,000  for  King  George.  J.  W.  Harriman 
paid  $14,000  for  the  three  saddlers,  May  Morning,  Cor- 
inne  and  Petroleum,  and  $3,750  for  Mack,  the  harness 
horse.  G.  White  of  Fairmont,  Va.,  paid  $5,000  for  five 
Hackney  mares.  Reginald  Vanderbilt  paid  $3,750  for 
Miss  Foxhall  Edna  May  and  Lotta  Faust  went  for 
$7,500,  and  Little  Brown  Jug  (I  am  weak  on  this 
amount),  $3,000,  etc  A  nice  bouquet  for  the  smart

Professor  Ridgeway,  in  his  "Origin  and  Influence 
of  the  Thoroughbred  Horse,"  refers  to  the  practice 
among  various  peoples  of  attaching  talismans  to 
their  horses  to  ward  off  ills.  The  modern  Italian 
fastens  a  piece  of  badger's  hair  or  a  tooth  to  his 
bridle  in  order  to  guard  the  horse  against  evil.  The 
Greek  ties  an  elaborate  amulet  about  its  neck.  The 
Kabyles   of   Kairfan   hang   round   the   necks   of   their 


One  of  the  get  of  the  champion  pacer,  Dan  Patch 
1:55%,  that  will  probably  be  raced  in  her  sire's  stable 
next  season  is  the  pacing  mare  Judy  Patch,  that  was 
given  a  time  record  of  2:24%  this  season.  She  was 
sent  to  the  home  of  her  sire  last  spring  to  be  bred 
to  Directum  2:05%,  her  owner  believing  that  through 
bad  handling  she  had  become  worthless  for  racing  pur- 
poses. Trainer  H.  C.  Hersey,  who  drives  Dan  Patch, 
began  working  the  mare  in  order  to  give  her  a  stand- 
ard record,  and  he  found  that  she  worked  so  cleverly 
for  him  that  he  believes  she  will  be  a  great  race 
mare.     In  one  race  in  which  she  was  started  to  see

round  button  between  them.  The  Coringas  of  the 
Madras  coast,  it  may  be  added,  will  never  allow 
the  shell  which  they  tie  about  their  ponies'  necks 
to  be  taken  off  lest  the  evil  the  shell  is  supposed  to 
avert  should  befall  them.  It  is  thought  by  some 
authorities  that  the  brass  ornaments  on  the  blinkers 
of  our  own  dray  horses  may  be  survivals  of  similar 
"protective    charms."

Several  years  ago  the  pacer  The  Spy.  by  Chimes, 
out  of  Ormaid,  by  Prince  Regent  2:16%,  showed 
Geers  phenomenal  speed,  but  broke  down  and  never 
raced.  Geers  liked  him  so  well  that  he  bought  him 
of  Village  Farm  and  placed  him  in  the  stud  in  Ten- 
nessee, where  it  is  thought  he  will  prove  a  remark- 
able' sire  of  pacers.  Three  three-year-olds  by  him 
are  now  in  Geers'  stable  at  Memphis,  and  all  are 
said  to  possess  extreme  speed.  One  is  a  slashing 
chestnut  filly  out  of  Ella  Brown  2:11%,  dam  of 
Walter   Direct    2:05%.

The  matinee  sport  has  been  a  great  benefit  to  the 
big  horse  auction,  as  few  matinee  horses  are  raced 
more  than  one  season  in  the  same  club.  They  are 
then  consigned  to  the  auctions. 


Writing  of  large  stallions  brings  to  mind  the  old 
blind  horse  Invincible  2:19%,  by  Princeps,  dam  by 
Volunteer,  owned  for  fifteen  years  by  Mat  Wilcox  of 
Concordia,  Kansas,  says  "Columbus."  Invincible  is 
the  largest  trotter  ever  looked  at  by  the  writer,  as 
in  good  condition  this  horse  will  weigh  nearly  1500 
pounds.  It  has  been  stated  to  the  writer  that  Invinci- 
ble weighed  1320  pounds  the  day  he  obtained  his 
rcord.  Judging  from  the  size  of  his  feet,  this  son 
of  Princeps  must  weigh  a  ton.  and  then  not  be  out 
of  proportion.  But  he  was  a  trotter  just  the  same, 
and  showed  a  mile  in  2:15  while  in  Charley  McDon- 
ald's  stable.

The  supposed  oldest  horse  in  America,  aged  firty- 
two  years,  lives  three  miles  from  Stanhope,  In  Ham- 
ilton county,  Iowa,  and  is  the  property  or  a  Scandi- 
navian farmer.  Last  winter  the  horse  was  bereaved 
by  the  death  of  its  mate,  a  horse  that  died  in  the 
full  bloom  at  the  age  of  thirty-two.  The  horse  that 
has  just  completed  more  than  half  a  century  of  life 
is  in  fairly  good  flesh  and  is  fed  on  bread  baked  with 
an  additional  ration  of  sugar  each  day.  It  is  said 
that  all  the  signs  of  great  age  are  present.  The  coat 
is  hide  bound  and  has  not  shed  for  several  years  and 
the  muscles  have  lost  their  powers  to  a  degree. 


Second  payment  of  $15  will  be  due  and  payable 
January  1st  on  all  foals  entered  in  the  Occident  Stake 
for  foals  of  1904,  to  be  trotted  at  the  California  State 
Fair  in  1907.  Don't  let  this  payment  lapse  if  you 
desire  to  trot  your  colt  in  this  stake. 


how  she  would  act  she  raced  like  a  seasoned  cam- 
paigner, and  was  separately  timed  in  2:13%,  and  a 
little  later  she  was  worked  in  2:10  If  she  proves  to 
be  in  foal  her  foal  will  be  taken  away  from  her  and 
raised  on  a  bottle,  so  that  she  may  go  on  and  race 
later  in  the  season.  With  these  two  pacers  in  his 
stable  Hersey  thinks  he  will  have  an  excellent  chance 
to  start  Dan  Patch's  2:05  list  with  two  of  his  get

George  Washington,  the  father  of  his  country,  fol- 
lowed racing,  and  on  the  Maryland  side  of  the  Poto- 
mac, opposite  his  Mount  Vernon  homestead,  there  was 
a  race  track,  where  he  frequently  raced  horses.  Were 
it  not  for  racing,  the  development  of  the  horse  would 
not  be  what  it  has  become  in  this  country. 


A  trotter  that  has  attracted  the  attention  of  racing 
men  generally  is  Nut  Boy  2:15%,  by  Nutprice  2:15%. 
dam  by  Smuggler  2:15%,  that  raced  on  the  half- 
mile  tracks  of  the  West  this  year.  He  started  out 
green  last  summer,  and  went  some  notable  races 
over  the  half-mile  rings  His  record  is  no  measure 
of  his  speed,  for  he  has  trotted  a  public  trial  over 
a  half-mile  track  in  2:11%.  Not  a  few  of  the  men 
who  follow  the  Grand  Circuit  are  casting  longing 
eyes  on  him,  and  the  chances  are  that  he  will  pass 
into  the  stable  of  some  Grand  Circuit  trainer  before 
racing  begins   next   season. 


Go  where  you  may  in  any  state  in  the  Union,  in 
city,  town  or  hamlet,  you  will  find  one  or  more  inter- 
ested in  breeding  the  light  harness  horse.  The  trotting 
horse  enthusiast  is  found  in  all  walks  of  life,  and  his 
admirers  are  not  confined  to  any  one  class  or  condition 
of  people,  and  some  of  the  most  sincere  lovers  of  the 
horse  are  to  he  found  in  the  pulpit,  on  the  stage,  in 
the  big  financial  institutions  of  the  country;  on  the 
farms,  in  the  stores,  shops  and  factories — in  fact,  the 
popularity  of  the  trotting  horse  extends  into  every  part 
of  American  life. 


The  Vermont  Morgan  Horse  Breeders'  Association 
held  a  meeting  at  Middlebury  November  23  and  24 
at  which  nearly  forty  Morgan  breeders  of  Vermont 
were  in  attendance,  says  Horse  World.  Mr.  Rommel 
of  the  National  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  outlined 
the  proposal  of  the  federal  government  relative  to 
the  establishment  of  an  experimental  station  at  Bur- 
lingion  for  the  purpose  of  breeding  a  type  of  the 
Morgan  horse  that  is  demanded  by  American  gentle- 
men. He  stated  that  contracts  would  be  signed  the 
coming  week  and  that  work  would  be  commenced  im- 
mediately. He  said  it  was  the  government's  purpose 
to  ascertain  the  possibilities  of  breeding  horses  in  this 
region  and  that  records  would  be  kept  of  the  breeding 
experiments,  that  the  department  might  know  just 
what  such  experiments  give  as  results.  He  paid  Ver- 
mont a  splendid  compliment  in  saying  it  was  his 
personal  opinion  that  outside  of  Kentucky  no  hand- 
somer or  more  finished  horses  are  to  be  found  in  this 
country  than  here. 

He  asked  for  an  expression  of  opinion  from  those 
present  as  to  the  type  of  the  Morgan  that  should  be 
bred,  and  the  remarks  of  the  several  speakers  were 
unanimous  that  the  demand  today  is  for  a  type  of 
horse  embodying  the  characteristics  of  the  early  Mor- 
gan with  the  same  form,  endurance  and  beauty,  but  a 
trifle  heavier  and  15%  hands  tall,  rather  than  under 
that  height.  If  the  breeders  of  Morgans  in  Vermont 
keep  up  the  interest  in  their  favorites  shown  by  this 
meeting  and  get  the  aid  of  government  experimental 
breeding  also,  the  Morgan  ought  to  enjoy  a  genuine 
boom  a  few  years  hence. 


The  ponies  of  Iceland  have  a  natural  weakness 
for  animal  food,  and  a  noted  authority  says  he  has 
seen  ponies  making  their  way  to  the  seashore  to 
feed  on  fishheads  and  the  like;  this  in  the  summer, 
when  there  was  plenty  of  good  pasture  accessible. 
In  some  parts  of  Iceland  at  least  a  proportion  of 
the  horses  are  kept  through  part  of  the  winter  in 
stables  near  the  farms,  and  those  which  are  so 
protected  are  fed  very  largely  at  this  season  on 
dried  cods'  heads,  which  also  form  the  staple  food 
of  the  cattle  when  the  hay  harvest  has  been  a  bad 
one.  At  some  places,  too,  where  the  codfish  is 
caught  in  large  numbers,  its  body,  either  fresh,  or 
more  frequently  dry,  is  given  them.  This  peculiar 
diet  is  said  to  be  very  nourishing  to  milch  kine. 
just  as  dried  whale  meat  is  supposed  to  be  in  the 
Faroes.  Naturally,  the  milk  has  a  peculiar  taste, 
but  those  who  are  accustomed  to  it  do  not  notice  it. 


The  gray  pacer  Geraldine,  that  started  out  green 
last  spring  and  closed  the  season  with  a  record  ol 
2.IO14,  has  just  been  bought  by  M.  &  V.  Miller  of 
Oneida,  N.  Y.  and  will  be  fitted  for  a  Grand  Circuit 
campaign  next  season.  He  was  sired  by  Gira  rdln 
2:21%,  son  of  Pilot  Medium,  dam  by  Rochester,  the 
son  of  Aberdeen,  that  was  bred  and  made  his  stud 
career  at  the  Jewett  Farm.  Good  judges  look  for 
Geraldine  to  pace  in  2:07  or  better  next  season. 


Nettie  King  2:20*4.  the  daughter  of  Mambrino  King 
that  produced  the  former  trotting  champion  The  Ab- 
bot 2:03*4.  foaled  an  own  brother  to  that  great  trot- 
ter a  short  time  since  at  Hillandale  Farm.  Mamaro- 
neck,  the  home  of  the  great  young  sire  Bellum  2:13V 
and  it  is  to  that  horse  this  greatest  of  Mambrino 
King's  producing  daughters  has  been  bred  this  sen- 
son.

CAPTAIN   JONES   BY   McKINNEY. 


There  was  a  trotting  mare  on  the  California  circuit 
this  year  that  attracted  much  attention  from  horse- 
men who  "know  a  good  thing  when  they  see  it."  This 
was  the  handsome  bay  mare  Lady  Jones  owned  by 
Mr.  J.  A.  Jones  of  Springbrook,  Oregon.  Lady  Jones 
tok  a  record  of  2: 16%  at  Tulare,  but  this  was  no 
measure  of  her  speed  as  after  the  racing  season  was 
ended  it  was  discovered  that  she  was  suffering  from 
corns,  which  accounted  for  her  repeated  breaks  and 
seeming  inability  to  get  away  fast.  With  the  corns 
removed  she  was  a  different  mare  and  at  the  errd  of 
the  season  could  have  trotted  very  close  to  2:10.  Lady 
Jones  is  a  daughter  of  the  stallion  Captain  Jones 
whose  handsome  proportions  are  shown  in  the  accom- 
panying portait.  He  is  a  son  of  McKinney  2:11*4  and 
a  great  bred  one.  His  dam  is  Midday  Bell  by  Gossiper 
2:14%,  sire  of  the  dam  of  that  other  fast  McKinney, 
Zolock  2.05^4-  The  second  darn  of  Capt.  Jones  is  Briar 
Belle  (dam  of  MeBriar  2:14),  by  Don  Wilkes  2:24%, 
a  son  of  Alcyone,  so  Capt.  Jones  gets  two  crosses  of 
Alcyone  blood.  The  third  dam  was  Belle  Bryan  by 
Mambrino  Patchen,  the  fourth  Old  Den  (grandam  of 
a  number  of  very  fast  ones)  by  Black  Denmark,  son 
of  imported  Hedgeford.  With  such  breeding  as  this, 
the  handsome  proportions  of  Capt  Jones  are  easily 
accounted  for,  and  his  ability  to  transmit  these  quali- 
ties to  his  colts  is  assured.     He  is  a  black  horse,  15.3 


and  reserve  junior  championship,  and  the  second  prize 
for  yearling  fillies.  It  is  well  for  breeders  to  make 
note  of  such  sires  as  Capt.  Jones  as  they  are  the 
profitable  ones  to  breed  to  If  the  colts  are  trained 
they  will  show  speed,  but  if  the  owner  does  not  care 
to  go  to  the  expense  of  training  he  will  have  young 
horses  on  his  farm  that  will  command  prices  high 
enough  to  pay  a  big  profit  when  offered  us  roadsters. 
Capt.  Jones  has  had  a  very  limited  opportunity  in 
the  stud,  but  every  one  of  his  get  yet  trained  can 
show  2:30  speed.  From  his  loins  we  predict  will  come 
in  the  very  near  future  more  than  one  2:10  per- 
former, and  then  there  will  be  a  rush  to  patronize 
him  at  a  larger  price  than  is  now  asked  for  his  ser- 
vices. The  breeders  of  Oregon  are  fortunate  to  have 
such  a  well  bred  son  of  McKinney  in  their  reach. 


CAPTAIN    JONES 


hands  high  and  weighs  1150  pounds.  His  trotting 
action  is  perfect  and  although  never  raced  he  has  a 
well  authenticated  trial  of  2:22%  and  possesses  much 
greater  speed.  His  colts  are  all  trotters,  ideal  road- 
sters of  good  size,  level  headed  and  stylish.  A  pair 
of  his  three-year-old  geldings  sold  last  year  for  $S00, 
and  a  four-year-old  by  him  sold  for  $1,000  for  a  road- 
ster. Capt.  Jones  sired  the  winners  of  the  first  prize 
for  two-year-olds  and  junior  championship  at  the 
Lewis   and   Clark   Fair,    the   first   prize   for   yearlings 


Stockholders  of  the  Washington  Park  Club.  Chicago, 
on  Monday  voted  to  dissolve  the  organization  and  sell 
the  great  race  track  for  building  purposes.  It  is  not 
known  when  the  sale  will  be  made,  but  it  is  certain 
that  there  never  will  be  another  race  meeting  there. 
Grafters  are  directly  responsible  for  this  lamentable 
condition  of  affairs.  The  people  of  Chicago  want 
racing,  and  would  favor  ;i  racing  bill,  but  certain 
grafters  are  powerful  enough,  or  have  been  in  the 
past,   to  prevent  the  passage  of  a  favorable  law. 


McKINNEY""D!RECTOR===NUTWOOD. 

Stout  blood,  good  bone,  size,  individuality  and  race 
horse  speed  are  the  qualifications  one  should  look  for 
in  a  sire,  as  they  are  all  money  bringers  when  the 
sales  are  on  or  the  races  begin.  A  breeder  who  made 
a  great  success  in  the  breeding  of  fine  cattle  once 
said  that  he  attributed  much  of  his  success  to  the  fact 
that  he  always  demanded  masculinity  in  the  looks  of 
the  males  and  femininity  in  the  appearance  of  the 
females  of  his  herd  The  same  rule  will  apply  to 
horses,  and  whether  it  be  runners,  trotters  or  draft 
stock,  the  best  producing  stallions  were  intensely 
masculine  and  the  greatest  mares  possessed  all  the 
motherly  traits  and  instincts.  An  effeminate  looking 
stallion  never  achieved  any  great  success.  The  Mc- 
Kinney stallion  Unimak.  three  years  old,  owned  by 
Capt.  C.  H.  Williams  of  Palo  Alto,  has  all  the  qualifi- 
cations enumerated  in  the  first  paragraph  of  thi= 
article.  Unimak  is  now  a  three  year  old,  and  a  no- 
bler, grander  individual  never  put  foot  on  the  earth. 
He  is  a  representative  of  three  of  the  greatest  race 
crosses— McKinney.  Director  and  Nutwood.  The  first 
named  is  ■  the  leading  sire  of  2:10  trotters  and  2:15 
performers,  the  second  founder  of  one  of  the  greatest  if 
not  the  greatest  race  winning  family  yet  produced, 
while  the  third  is  reckoner  the  greatest  sire  of  stan- 
dard performers  and  brood  mares  that  ever  lived. 
Why.  should  not  s-ich  a  combination  of  blood  produce 
a  colt  that  has  all  the  qualifications  of  a  race  horse 
and  s!re?  John  Phippen.  the  well  known  trainer  of 
trotters,  who  was  with  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  for 
many  years,  and  who  has  given  over  60  horses  records 
from  2.12  to  2:30,  wrote,  under  date  of  December  17th, 
the   following  about   this   colt: 

"Unimak  at  three  years  old  is  a  beautiful  seal 
brown  stallion,  near  hind  foot  and  coronet  white,  by 
the  great  McKinney  2:11!4.  first  dam  Twenty-third  by 
Director  2:17,  second  dam  Nettie  Nutwood,  dam  of 
Hillsdale  2:15.  by  Nutwood  2:18%.  He  is  a  grand  in- 
dividual, weighs  about  1200  pounds  and  stands  16 
hands  and  an  inch  high  In  his  two  year  old  form  ho 
was  nicely  broken  and  given  just  work  enough  to  step 
a  qiarter  in  44  seconds  and  an  eighth  in  21  seconds. 
This  was  done  about  the  fifth  time  he  was  ever  on  a 
(rack  when  driven  for  a  little  speed.  He  was  then 
taken  home  and  jogged  nicely  through  the  winter. 

"This  spring  he  was  given  ten  well  bred  mares  and 
was  then  turned  out  until  October  15th.  I  then  took 
and  jogged  him  until  November  10th.  when  I  gave 
him  his  first  work  on  the  track  and  he  stepped  a  quar- 
ter in  43  seconds.  His  next  work  for  speed  was  oil 
November  27th,  when  he  trotted  a  quarter  in  40%  sec- 
onds, the  last  eighth  in  IS14  seconds.  December  14th 
(three  days  ago)  was  his  next  speed  lesson.  On  that 
day  he  stepped  his  quarter  nicely  in  37  seconds,  the 
last  eighth  being  in  IS  seconds. 

"Unimak  will  be  given  a  limited  number  of  ap- 
proved mares  next  spring,  and  I  would  advise  owners 
of  good  mares  to  look  this  fellow  over  before  breed- 
ing. He  will  undoubtedly  make  a  very  fast  trotter  and 
his  development  for  speed  will  go  on  in  earnest  after 
the  stud  season  of  1906.  as  the  following  season,  1907, 
he  will  be  prepared  in  his  five  year  old  form  for  a 
record." 

The  above  from  John  Phippen.  as  conservative  and 
as  reliable  as  any  man  in  the  business,  is  worth 
heeding  Those  breeders  who  are  looking  for  a  sire 
that  combines  In  his  make-up  so  many  character- 
istics of  two  of  the  greatest  stallions  ever  in  Califor- 
nia— Director  and  McKiney — should  open  correspond- 
ence with  the  owner  of  Unimak  forthwith.  A  better 
chance  to  breed  to  a  high  class  young  horse  was 
never  offered.

SELECTING    BROOD    MARES. 


BY   SAM   GAMBLE 


The  writer  came  to  California  in  the  year  1S72.   a 
young  man.  without  a  handle  or  any  newspaper  noto- 
riety attached  to  his  name,  and  occupying  the  position 
of  caretaker  of  a  trotting  horse.     He  was  not  long  a 
resident  of   this   sunset   land   before   he   became  con- 
ed  with  business  gentlemen  who  were  interested 
in    the   handsome   trotting   horse,  and   engaging  with 
them,  rendered  them  satisfactory  service,  or  he  would 
not    have   continued    with    them    for   so    many   years. 
i'  the  first  acquaintances  he  made  was  that  lead- 
ing .California    horseman,   Harrison   R.   Covey,   father 
fie  late     Frank  Covey.     The  elder  Covey  was  the 
flrstj    superintendent    of   Palo    Alto    Stock   Farm,    and 
with  his  able  assistance  that  renowned  farm  was  es- 
tablished by  that   noble  and  enterprising  citizen,  the 
late  Senator  Leland  Stanford.     These  gentlemen  were 
bosom    friends    for    years,    and    the    Senator    had    the 
teat  confidence   in  Mr.  Covey's  natural  ability  as 
a  horseman  and  in  his  practical  knowledge  in  the  se- 
[on,   mating  and   breeding  of  trotting  horses  that 
would  possess  extreme,  speed  and  the  ability  to  carry 
it  over  a  mile  of  ground. 

Mr.  Covey  was  considerably  my  senior,  but  we  were 
the  warmest  of  friends  and  I  always  listened  with  the 
greatest  interest  when  he  advanced  his  ideas  in  re- 
gard to  breeding  the  trotter.  He  was  naturally  very 
fond  of  a  horse,  and  in  my  opinion  was  the  best  judge 
of  what  constituted  a  great  sire  and  a  producing 
mare  of  any  person  I  ever  knew,  and  I  think  it  was 
his  great  talent  in  this  direction  that  made  the  suc- 
cess of  Palo  Alto  Farm.  It  must  never  be  overlooked 
by  those  who  admire  the  thoroughbred  cross  close  up 
in  the  trotter  that  Mr.  Covey  was  one  of  the  very 
first  to  advance  that  idea,  and  that  he  held  that  it 
must  be  used  in  connecion  with  blood  lines  that  have 
the  brain,  conformation  and  trotting  action,  such  as 
Electioneer  possessed.  Not  only  was  Harrison  Covey 
an  adept  in  judging  individual  qualities  in  horses,  but 
his  ideas  in  training  did  to  a  certain  degree  revolu- 
tionize the  art  as  it  was  followed  prior  to  the  estab- 
lishment of  Palo  Alto  Farm.  He  should  receive  the 
credit  of  being  the  father  of  the  system  of  the  ean> 
training  of  baby  trotters,  that  was  destined  to  aston- 
ish the  world  and  earn  champion  records  for  the 
youngsters  bred  at  the  farm  of  the  tall  pine.  I  do  not 
overlook  the  great  work  and  the  ability  of  Charles 
Marvin,  who  developed  and  drove  these  trotters  to 
victory,  but  the  foundation  plans  were  drawn  up  by 
Harrison  Covey. 

There  are  five  essentials  necessary  to  the  success 
of  a  large  stock  farm.  First,  an  owner  with  money 
and  common  sense;  second,  a  man  well  versed  in  all 
the  branches  of  horse  breeding  and  training  as  super- 
intendent; third,  a  careful,  level  headed  man  as  colt 
breaker,  capable  of  making  good  manners  and  good 
mouths:  fourth,  a  good  speed  developer,  one  who  can 
drive  the  shortest  and  quickest  mile  and  get  the 
money  and  a  reputation  for  the  owner  and  his  stock; 
fifth,  a  good,  attentive  care  taker  with  good  head  and 
of  gentlemanly  conduct. 

Palo  Alto  was  blessed  with  all  the  above,  and  with 
such  a  stallion  as  Electioneer  and  a  few  high-class 
mares,  the  combination  accomplished  wonders  and  its 
memory  now  occupies  a  warm  place  in  the  hearts  of 
all  true  American  horsemen. 

Messrs.  Stanford  and  Covey's  great  contribution  tt. 
science  in  demonstrating  through  the  agency  of  Mr 
Muybridge's  camera  the  actual  movements  and  posi- 
tions of  a  trotter's  legs  in  action,  more  so  the  rightly 
shaped  joints  that  are  so  essential  to  speed,  will  never 
be  appreciated  by  the  majority  of  breeders. 

The  writer  learned  from  Mr.  Covey  these  valuable 
lessons  which  Mr.  C.  had  learned  from  the  camera, 
and  I  can  now  say  that  these  lessons  were  stamped 
so  clearly  and  so  indelibly  that  in  the  selection  of 
untried  stallions  and  young  mares  as  producers  of 
speed  he  has  never  yet  made  one  mistake.  To  this 
day  the  writer  has  tested  it,  and  at  one  time  it  was  his 
capital  stock  and  paid  a  profit  on  the  knowledge. 

In  1  sTS  the  late  Daniel  Cook,  a  gentleman  who  could 
not  be  termed  a  practical  horseman,  but  one  who 
had  a  great  natural  love  for  that  noble  animal,  pro- 
posed to  the  writer  that  he  sell  out  his  business  and 
start  a  stork  farm  with  him.  Mr.  Cook  was  perhaps 
the  best  friend  the  writer  ever  possessed,  but  my 
business  was  then  of  such  a  pleasing  nature  and 
profit  that  I  at  first  emphatically  declined  to  entertain 
Mr.  Cook's  very  liberal  offer,  but  on  his  persistence  I 
Anally  yielded,  and  as  it  turned  out.  the  move  was  a 
very  unfortunate  one. 

i  e  fall  of  1879  Mr    H.  R.  Covey  and  the  writer 

made  •  ■  business  trip  to  the  eastern  side  of  the  Rocky 

Mountains— Mr.  Covi      representing  Senator  Stanford 

and  the  writer  Mr.  Cook.     W.-      sited  all  the  important 

rma  111   various  States,  and  at  the  same  time 

Inspected  all  the  leading  producing  stallions  and  brood

these  animals  convinced  us  that  our  new  discovery  or 

mark"  was  correct,  as  it  was  to  be  plainly  seen 

in  the  animals  that  had  produced  the  kings  and  queens 

of    the    trotting    turf.      The    first    thoroughbred    brood

In  the  years  of  1S64-5  and  1870  to  1872  the  writer 
saw  oi    i  ■•  ■".    Wilkes'   and    Lady  Thorn's 

rraances.     From  different   standpoints    they  may

Wilkes  was  probably  the  most  remarkable  trotting 
stallion  ever  seen,  times  and  opportunities  consid- 
ered. He  was  campaigned  for  over  twelve  years,  and 
beat  all  comers,  no  matter  how  hitched,  champion  of 
his  sex,  record  2:22  to  harness,  old  fashioned  heavy 
sulky.  2:25  to  heavy  skeleton  wagon  and  2:2S  to  pole. 
When  he  was  retired  to  the  stud  and  taken  to  Ken- 
tucky by  that  enterprising  and  hustling  horseman,  the 
late  W.  H.  Wilson,  in  1S73,  like  Electioneer  he  was 
condemned  and  pronounced  a  failure  by  many  of  the 
self-constituted  judges  of  a  great  horse,  yet  he  forced 
his  recognition  on  them.  Probably  no  one  branch 
has  ever  been  the  superior  to  Baron  Wilkes  and  Al- 
cyone as  sires,  and  Alcantara  as  a  sire  of  mares.  As 
a  race  horse  Alcantara  was  a  leviathan  in  soft  or 
tight  places,  but  in  his  day  owners  of  horses  of  his 
sex  fought  shy  of  him.  It  is  not  much  wonder  that 
he  went  amiss  after  such  a  race  as  the  one  at  Louis- 
ville in  the  fall  of  1SS0,  and  the  next  week  at  Lexing- 
ton he  received  an  injury  which  ended  his  career  as 
a  race  horse 

I  first  met  Dr.  Talbot,  the  breeder  of  Alcantara  and 
Alcyone,  in  1879,  and  I  now  state  without  fear  of  con- 
tradiction that  I  was  the  first  person  to  offer  over 
$6000  for  a  son  of  Geo.  Wilkes,  and  the  horse  I  made 
the  offer  for  was  Alcantara.  He  was  then  a  three 
year  old.  I  offered  $10,000  for  Alcantara  and  Alcyone, 
and  $12,000  for  the  two  colts  and  their  mother.  Alma 
Mater.  As  it  turned  out  it  was  perhaps  better  for  the 
colts,  the  mare.  Dr.  Talbot  and  the  breeders  of  the 
land,  that  the  deal  did  not  materialize.  The  only  liv- 
ing witness  of  the  incident  that  I  now  recall  is  that 
genial  and  well  known  horseman,  Mike  Bowerman  of 
Lexington.  In  March,  18SS,  the  writer  purchased  a 
one-half  interest  with  the  late  W.  H.  Wilson  in  the 
then  ten  months  old  colt  Higbee,  now  known  to  fame 
as  McKinney  2:11*4.  For  various  reasons  I  disposed 
of  my  interest  in  the  colt  and  the  same  month  I  pur- 
chased for  the  late  Seth  Cook,  then  proprietor  of  the 
Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm,  another  representative  of 
this  great  family,  then  a  three  year  old  bay  filly,  and 
now  known  as  Bertha  by  Alcantara,  and  classed  by 
many  as  one  of  the  greatest  of  her  sex. 

In  March,  18S0,  the  Cook  Farm,  now  known  as 
Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm,  was  established  as  a  place 
for  the  breeding  of  trotting  horses.  There  were  about 
sixty  head  of  horses  on  the  farm  at  the  time  it  was 
purchased  that  it  would  be  a  conundrum  to  guess  to 
what  use  they  could  be  put.  That  spring  the  writer 
had  secured  the  handsome  stallion  Steinway  to  head 
the  farm,  and  in  the  fall  of  1SS1  selected  ten  head 
of  mares,  including  Katie  G..  Ellen  Swigert  and  others, 
to  breed  to  him.  In  the  fall  of  1882  Daniel  Cook 
passed  over  that  mystic  river,  and  the  great  central 
sun  of  the  farm  went  down  amid  the  deep  sorrows  of 
his  many  friends  and  neighbors.  His  death  was  a  loss 
to  the  breeders  of  the  State.  In  1SS3  there  was  a  dis- 
persal sale  of  the  estate.  Seth  Cook  could  not  endure 
the  idea  of  his  brother's  favorite  horse  being  sold  at 
public  auction  and  consequently  secured  him  from  the 
heirs  by  private  agreement,  and  at  the  sale  procured 
Katie  G.  and  Princess.  When  Seth  Cook  came  into 
possession  of  the  farm  in  1S85,  the  writer  returned 
there  with  the  understanding  that  it  would  be  stocked 
with  a  band  of  high  class  brood  mares  Katie  G.  was 
about  the  only  one  on  the  farm  that  had  proved  a 
happy  nick  for  Steinway.  Katie  G.  was  purchased  for 
the  writer,  who  named  her  after  the  best  woman  that 
ever  lived — his  wife.  This  mare  was  the  first  of  the 
writers*  selections.  She  was  bred  by  F.  S.  Malone  and 
was  one  of  the  first  of  Electioneers  priduce  placed  on 
the  market.  She  was  a  handsome  brown  mare  with 
tan  flanks,  stood  15.2  and  was  a  ferfect  gaited  line 
trotter.  She  was  of  a  highly  nervous  disposition,  one 
of  the  do-or-die  kind,  and.  like  glass,  had  to  be  handled 
with  much  care.  She  was  foaled  with  a  deformity, 
her  left  hind  leg  being  shorter  and  smaller  around 
than  her  right  Her  mouth  had  been  ruined  by  a  colt 
breaker  who  first  handled  her,  consequently  she  was 
beyond  control  when  at  a  high  rate  of  speed.  She 
would  hit  her  left  toe  so  hard  at  times  as  to  throw 
her  off  her  stride.  The  writer  has  always  been  of 
the  opinion  that  but  for  this  she  would  have  been  as 
fast  as  any  of  the  Electioneers.  As  a  four  year  old 
she  trotted  under  the  very  worst  conditions  a  quarter 
in  32  seconds  and  a  half  in  1:07.  She  was  mated  when 
a  four  year  old  to  Steinway,  then  six,  and  the  produce 
was  H.  R.  Covey,  one  of  the  fastest  trotters  ever  seen 
on  any  stock  farm,  and  but  for  an  attack  of  pleura 
pneumonia  would  have  made  a  great  reputation  for 
the  farm.  We  had  all  the  big  stakes  at  our  mercy 
and  we  all  "wore  crepe"  when  his  sickness  prevented 
his  starting.  Katie  G.'s  next  foal  was  Carrie  Malone. 
now  in  the  great  brood  mare  table,  and  her  next 
Chas.  Derby  2:20 

As  we  had  few  other  brood  mares  on  the  farm  Mr. 
Cook  decided  to  close  out  all  the  stock  at  public  auc- 
tion, and  on  February  28th,  1SSS,  the  sale  was  held. 
We  kept  Steinway.  Chas.  Derby  and  the  mares  Katie 
G.,  Princess  and  Leah  and  a  few  daughters  of  Stein- 
way. It  was  the  greatest  horse  sale  I  ever  saw,  con- 
sidering the  stock  sold,  and  Mr.  Cook  was  so  pleased 
with  the  result  that  he  came  to  me  with  outstretched 
hand  and  congratulated  me,  saying:  "You  advised  me 
correctly,  and  you  shall  take  the  money  I  have  re- 
ceived for  this  stock  and  buy  twenty  or  thirty  mares 
such  as  you  think  will  suit  the  stallions." 

I  started  March  4th  and  after  buying  Bertha,  Ida 
Wood.  Xone  Better.  Tone,  Nanny  Smith,  Inex,  Alger- 
detta,  Addie  Ash  and  Maggie  McGregor,  all  untried 
fillies  at  the  time,  I  received  word  from  Mr.  Cook  to 
stop  buying  and  ship  home  what  I  had.  I  was  sur- 
prised, as  I  had  not  exhausted  the  fund  and  had 
picked  out  a  number  of  others  that  I  thought  it  would 
be  murder  to  leave  behind.  It  seems  the  knockers  had 
got  in  their  work,  but  the  records  now  show  what 
sort  of  mares.  I  selected.  The  stock  arrived  in  rather 
bad  shape  after  a  long  trip  by  freight  train,  and  Mr. 
Cook  was  not  very  well  pleased  with  their  appearance, 
but  on  receiving  an  offer  for  the  whole  consignment 
concluded    not    to    sell.     Mr.  Cook    did    not    live    lone 


[December  23,  1905 

enough  to  see  the  results  of  mating  these  young  mares 
with  his  stallions,  but  the  Year  Books  show  that 
every  one  has  produced  standard  speed. 

Later,  the  late  Mr.  Hobart  desired  me  to  select  for 
him  a  daughter  of  Dictator  My  choice  fell  on  Nancy 
Lee,  the  dam  of  the  then  untried  Nancy  Hanks.  I  se- 
cured her,  but  such  was  Mr.  Hobart's  prejudice  against 
the  Happy  Medium  blood  that  he  would  not  buy  the 
daughter  at  any  price.  I  have  selected  and  purchased 
for  various  gentlemen  in  California,  no  less  than  87 
young  untried  matrons  and  of  these  74  have  produced 
horses  with  records  from  2:04  to  2:30,  four  better  than 
2:06,  fifteen  in  the  2.10  list,  twenty-four  in  the  2:15 
list,  and  forty- two  in  the  2:20  list.  Four  of  the  re- 
maining mares  have  daughters  whose  produce  have 
records  from  2:07  to  2:20,  and  the  remaining  nine 
have   produce  that  is  yet  young  and  untried. 

I  am  proud  of  my  failures,  and  with  malice  toward 
none  and  charity  to  all  I  will  say  A  Merry  Christmas 
and  a  Happy  New  Year  to  all.     Yours,

THE    LAST    LOAD    IN    THE    BARN. 


Talk  about  your  automobiles, 
And  your  reckless  rides  today — 

Guess  you  never  raced  a  rain-cloud 
On  a  sloshin'  load  o'  hay. 

When  a  youngster,  I  jest  liked  it — 

Startin'   from   the  fardest    side 
Of   the   forty-acre   medder 

With  the  last  load  high  and  wide. 

Pap  bareheaded  and  a  drivin' 

Like  a  jockey  at  the  fair — 
Horses  down  to  a  dead  gallop — 

Hay-straws  flyln'  through  the  air. 

And  us  boys,  our  bare  shins  buried 

In  the  middle  o'  the  load, 
Holdin'  io   the   pitchfork  handles — 

Wonderin'  if  we'll  make  the  road. 

Lightnin'  flashin',  thunder  boomin' — 
Nancy!    how  that  old  load  reeled 

When  we   struck  the  big  dead  furrow 
In   the   middle   of  the   field. 

Through  the  gap  and  down  the  turnpike, 
Horses  with  their  ears  laid  back — 

Pap  with  one  eye  on  the  rain-cloud 
And  the  other  on  the  track. 

Mother  on  the  porch  a-wavin' 

Of  her  apern  smiling'  glad — " 
Sister  scootin'  crost  the  barn-lot, 

Op'nin'  gates  and  doors  like  mad. 

And  us  boys  a  clingin'  breathless, 

Git  a  mighty  healthy  scare. 
When  pap,   drivin'  at  a  gallop, 

Clears   the  gate-post  by  a  hair. 

Right  into  the  barn  we  clatter, 
And  the  horses  snort  and  rear. 

As  a  mighty  clap  o'  thunder 

Shakes   the  roof  and   lifts  "our  hair. 

While  the  rain  comes  down  in  rivers, 

We  ain't  carin'  a  corsarn. 
For  our  supper's  on  the  table, 

And  the   last  load's  in   the  barn.

THE  DEMAND  IK  THE  EAST  FOB,  RACE  PEOSPECT3 
The  defeat  of  Governor  Herrick  in  Ohio  and  of  the 
Democratic  gubernatorial  candidate  in  Massachusetts 
insures  the  passage  of  fair  racing  laws  in  these  two 
states  and  the  harness  game  will  take  on  a  new  life 
with  the  beginning  of  the  New  Tear.  The  fall  sales 
at  Eastern  sales  points  already  forecast  that  the  spring 
sales  will  mark  stronger  values  than  have  been  known 
for  years  and  old  time  prices  will  prevail  for  horses  of 
real  merit.  Calif ornians  should  be  quick  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  their  opportunities  and  send  into  the  East- 
ern market  their  best  material.  With  Cleveland  discon- 
tinued as  a  sales  point  the  buyers  that  gave  so  much 
prestige  to  the  Ohio  city  have  come  to  frequent  the 
Indianapolis  sales  and  the  Indiana  city  has  now  be- 
come the  best  distributing  point  for  race  prospects  and 
the  better  class  of  breeding  stock.  The  Indiana  city  is 
peculiarly  adapted  for  the  holding  of  sales  of  conse- 
quence and  recent  auctions  at  that  point  have  demon- 
strated that  higher  values  prevail  at  that  point  than 
anywhere  in  the  Middle  West.  When  it  is  remembered 
that  both  McKinney  and  Sidney  Dillon  found  new  homes 
in  the  Hoosier  state  the  immensity  of  the  breeding  in- 
terests in  Indiana  will  be  taken  into  account  and  it 
can  be  readily  understood  how  Indianapolis  has  become 
so  foremost  as  a  sales  center.  Every  accommodation 
necessary  for  the  conduct  of  big  sales  is  available  at 
Indianapolis,  and  with  the  Blair-Baker  Horse  Company 
at  the  helm,  every  future  sale  at  Indianapolis  will  all 
the  more  demonstrate  the  advantages  of  that  market. 
The  next  Indianapolis  sale  is  scheduled  for  February 
26  th  to  March  3rd  and  Calif  ornians  who  have  under 
advisement  the  consignment  of  horses  to  an  Eastern 
sale  will  do  well  to  consider  Indianapolis.  Mr.  Frank 
P.  Kenney,  well-known  to  all  California  horsemen,  is  in 
active  charge  of  the  sale  affairs  of  the  Blair-Baker 
Horse  Company  and  will  be  very  glad  to  hear  from 
intending  consignors  and  any  communication  addressed 
to  him  at  the  Union  Stock  Yards  at  Indianapolis  will 
receive    his    prompt    attention. 


A  bit  of  gossip  on  the  "hot  stove  circuit"  is  that 
Tommy  Murphy,  who  was  so  successful  with  Susie  N. 
this  year  and  who  scored  a  great  triumph  a  year  ag,  > 
with  Hetty  G.  after  that  mare  had  been  generally 
slated  as  good  only  for  broodmare  purposes,  will  take 
Millard  Sanders'  place  as  colt  trainer  for  John  H. 
Shults.  He  will  have  a  lot  of  colts  by  Axworthy  to 
develop  and  race,  probably  in  the  fall.  His  string  will 
be  made  up  of  Guy  Axworthy,  Nell  Worthy,  Nellie 
Worthy,  Miss  Low  and  Bonnie  Worthy.  Ed  Benyon 
will  also  train  a  yearling,  a  two  year  old  and  a  three 
year  old  from  the  same  farm. 


In    hot    weather    there    is    no    drink    like    Jackson's 
Napa  Soda — plain  or  in  a  lemonade.

ROBERT    DIRECT. 


TROTTING    BRED   STALLIONS. 


In  the  veins  of  the  handsome  big  black  stallion 
Robert  Direct,  owned  by  Mr.  R.  O.  Newman  of  Visalla, 
flows  a  rare  combination  of  blood,  and  at  the 
same  time  one  of  the  choicest.  We  do  not  know  of 
another  son  of  the  mighty  Direct  2.05%  who  gets 
through  his  dam  the  blood  of  Electioneer,  Sultan,  The 
Moor  and  A.  W.  Richmond,  and  it  is  no  wonder  that 
Robert  Direct  is  showing  a  very  high  rate  of  speed  and 
transmitting  this  speed  to  his  get.  Robert  Direct 
stands  16  hands,  weighs  1200  pounds  and  is  a  solid 
black  in  color.  He  has  size  and  substance  and  finish 
and  quality,  and  is  considered  by  all  horsemen  who 
have  seen  him  to  be  one  of  the  grandest  individuals 
among  the  stallions  of  California.  He  is  now  in  train- 
ing at  the  Hanford  half  mile  track  and  has  shown  a 
half  in  1:04  and  an  eighth  in  15  seconds,  but  this  is 
not  the  limit  of  his  speed.  One  of  his  first  crop  of 
foals,  Andy  Direct,  was  in  training  for  three  months 
this  year  for  a  race  for  yearlings,  which  he  won  in 
straight  heats,  the  first  heat,  a  half  mile,  being  paced 
in  1:14,  and  the  second  in  1:13,  with  the  last  quarter 
in  33%  seconds,  a  2:14  gait  He  could  have  paced  a 
half  in  1:10  without  much  trouble.  Like  his  sire  he 
is  a  large,  fine  looking  colt,  with  level  head,  and  is 
a  solid  brown  in  color.  He  is  eligible  to  start  in  the 
two-year-old  division  of  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity 
next  year  and  will  be  heard  from. 

The  blood  lines  of  Robert  Direct  all  represent  speed, 
stamina,  courage  and  every  race  horse  quality.  Direct 
2:05%,  his  sire,  was  one  of  the  greatest  race  horses 
ever  bred  in  America,  and  has  established  such  a  fam- 
ily of  race  horses  that  the  phrase,  "The  Directs  have 
the  winning  habit"  has  become  a  household  word.  The 
fact  that  Direct  is  the  sire  of  ten  2:10  performers 
places  him  in  the  front  rank  as  a  sire  of  extreme 
speed.  Columns  could  be  written  about  the  "little 
black  rascal"  whose  death  last  year  was  a  public  ca- 
lamity, but  every  horseman  knows  all  about  him.     He 


The  trotting-bred  stallion  of  to-day  has  at  least  one 
virtue  that  is  not  found  in  every  type  of  horse,  and 
which  is  in  itself  a  most  desirable  one  and  which 
bespeaks  an  amount  of  intelligence  that  has  had  much 
to  do  with  making  this  type  of  horse  popular,  says 
a  writer  in  Kentucky  Stock  Farm.  The  trotting  stal- 
lion is  not  vicious,  generally  speaking,  in  fact,  it  is 
an  extremely  rare  instance  where  a  vicious  brute  is 
found,  and  among  all  the  trotting  stallions  in  America 
it  is  doubtful  if  there  is  one  that  is  really  dangerous. 
Stallions  of  other  types  are  frequently  not  only  vicious 
but  extremely  dangerous,  and  this  is  probably  true 
among  the  thoroughbreds  more  than  among  any  other 
breed.  The  thoroughbred  stallion  Orme,  son  of  Or- 
monde and  Angelica,  which,  while  he  has  proved  a 
success  in  the  stud,  is  handicapped  by  his  frightful 
temper,  and  at  times  since  his  retirement  to  the  stud 
he  has  been  little  short  of  a  man-eater.  The  American 
stallion  Onondaga  was  for  many  years  a  menace  to 
those  in  charge  of  him,  and  his  owner  resorted  to 
the  expedient  of  having  his  eyes  put  out  by  electricity 
in  order  that  he  could  be  more  easily  managed,  and  in 
many  other  instances  could  be  mentioned  thorough- 
breds, the  tempers  of  which  made  them  dangerous  if 
not  undesirable.  Among  trotting  stallions,  however, 
such  instances  are  extremely  rare,  and  in  almost  every 
case  the  result  was  from  mistreatment  on  the  part 
of  an  owner  or  groom.  Robert  McGregor,  while  he 
had  the  reputation  of  being  a  vicious  horse,  was,  when 
propertly  treated,  easily  controlled  by  any  one  who 
was  not  afraid  of  him,  and  It  is  a  rare  occurrence 
where  a  trotting  stallion  is  not  completely  submissive 
to  the  will  of  those  in  whose  charge  he  is.  One  has 
but  to  witness  a  trotting  stallion  in  his  paddock  to 
realize  how  docile  he  is,  for  under  the  same  circum- 
stances a  thoroughbred  would  resent  an  intrusion  into 
his  domain,  and  the  same  is  frequently  true  of  the 
saddle  stallion,  the  draught  horse  and  the  hackney. 

Many  of  the  most  successful  show  horses  in  America 
are  trotting-bred  stallions,  and  yet  they  can  be  as 
easily  controlled  in  or  out  of  the  show  ring  as  geld- 
ings or  mares.  This  characteristic  is  undoubtedly  due 
to  a  superior  order  of  intelligence,  for  beyond  question 


not  a  single  horse  was  rejected  by  the  buyer.  Sev- 
eral animals  were  resold,  yet  in  most  cases  they 
found  a  new  owner  at  higher  prices  than  in  the  first 
sale 

"It  is  now  in  Fasig-Tipton  Company's  records  that 
three  horses  were  resold  each  three  times,  and  each 
time  sold  at  higher  prices. 

"While  amateur  drivers  were  among  the  liberal 
buyers,  yet  the  breeders  never  let  go  of  the  best  bred 
ones,  while  the  racing  men  secured  almost  everything 
which  looked  to  them  like  a  fairly  good  racing  propo- 
sition. 

"In  the  opinion  of  horsemen  of  all  classes  there 
never  was  a  sale  of  this  magnitude  in  which  less 
horses  were  sold  at  an  advance  by  the  buyers  as  dur- 
ing the  past  event.  Every  buyer  bought  for  his  own 
purposes,  and  hence  speculators  did  not  reap  the  har- 
vest they  expected. 

"Among  the  latter  were,  perhaps,  the  foreign  buy- 
ers or  their  agents.  In  former  years  they  have  been 
able  to  pick  up  good  horses,  of  approved  breeding,  at 
prices  cheap  enough  to  allow  them  a  margin  of  profit 
after  the  expense  of  transportation,  but  this  time 
the  home  demand  was  too  great  to  allow  them  to  be 
competitors  to  any  noticeable  extent.  As  a  result,  up 
to  yesterday  only  eighteen  applications  were  filed  for 
export  certificates. 

"Men  interested  in  the  American  light  harness  horse, 
be  they  breeders,  dealers  or  race  track  followers,  sure- 
ly had  sufficient  reason  to  go  to  their  respective 
homes  much  encouraged  for  the  future  of  the  coun- 
try's horse  interests." 


ROBERT     DIRECT 
A  Sixteen-Hand  Son  of  the  Great  Direct  3:05V 


was  sired  by  the  great  Director  2:17,  out  of  a  great 
brood  mare  by  Echo,  and  his  grandam  was  by  the 
thoroughbred  Jack  Hawkins,  a  son  of  Boston. 

The  dam  of  Robert  Direct  is  Daisy  Basler,  an  own 
sister  to  Ethel  Basler,  dam  of  those  fast  fillies  My  Way 
2:22,  as  a  three  year  old  (and  only  beaten  a  head  in 
2:13%)  and  Stonelita  2.20,  as  a  two  year  old.  Daisy 
Basler  is  a  daughter  of  Robert  Basler  2:20,  sire  of 
Dr.  W.  2:08%.  Jonesa  Basler  2:11%,  etc  Robert  Bas- 
ler was  by  Antevolo  2:19%,  son  of  Electioneer  and  the 
great  brood  mare  Columbine  by  A.  W.  Richmond,  and 
his  dam  was  the  great  brood  mare  Elizabeth  Basler 
by  Bill  Arp,  out  of  Mary  of  Warfield,  a  grandson  of 
Boston.  The  second  dam  of  Robert  Direct  is  Rich- 
moor  by  Pasha,  son  of  Sultan  and  Madam  Baldwin  by 
The  Moor.  Pasha  sired  the  dam  of  that  great  trotter 
Toggles  2:0S%.  Robert  Direcfs  third  dam  is  Miss 
Rowland  by  A.  W.  Richmond  out  of  a  thoroughbred 
mare.  Here  is  the  very  stoutest  of  racing  blood  Two 
crosses  to  Boston  and  two  to  Bonnie  Scotland,  two  of 
the  greatest  race  horse  sires  the  country  has  known. 
There  could  hardly  be  a  choicer  combination  of  blood 
lines  than  these  in  the  veins  of  Robert  Direct.  That 
he  will  produce  stylish  and  speedy  campaigners,  do-or- 
die  race  horses,  and  large,  fine  trotters  and  pacers  is 
certain  if  he  is  bred  to  good  mares.    He  will  make  the 

1  season  of  1906  one  mile  northeast  of  Visalla  at  The 
Palms.  His  service  fee  will  be  $50  for  the  season, 
with     a    return    privilege.      Mr.   R.    O.    Newman,    his 

!  owner,  invites  correspondence  in  regard  to  breeding 
Robert  Direct  to  well  bred  mares,  and  will  be  pleased 

i  to  send  a  card  containing  tabulated  pedigree  that  the 
great  producing  lines  of  his  stallion's  breeding  may  be 
studied  by  those  interested. 


the  American  trotter,  as  a  type,  is  the  most  intelligent 
horse  known,  with  the  possible  exception  of  the  Shet- 
land pony.  This  intelligence  is  depicted  in  the  coun- 
tenance of  many  stallions,  and  while  the  trotter,  as  a 
rule,  lacks  that  artistic  beauty  of  head  and  neck  that 
is  frequently  found  in  the  thoroughbred  and  almost 
invariably  in  the  saddle  stallion,  the  race  horse  rarely 
possesses  that  broad  expanse  between  the  eyes  and 
the  almost  human  expression  of  the  eyes  themselves. 
The  greater  the  degree  of  intelligence,  which  intelli- 
gence is  so  frequently  depicted  in  the  countenance, 
the  less  likely  is  the  horse  to  be  erratic  or  unsteady, 
and  we  believe  that  in  almost  every  example  of  a 
stallion  that  was  reliable  and  inclined  to  stick  to  a 
trot  there  could  be  found  the  broad  forehead  and  an 
attractive  countenance.  Rattle-headed  horses  usually 
are  narrow  between  the  eyes  and  in  other  ways  indi- 
cate outwardly  their  lack  of  intelligence,  and  not  in- 
frequently breeders  can  determine  at  a  very  early  age 
in  the  horse  whether  or  not  there  is  a  lack  of  intelli- 
gence and  what  the  disposition  of  the  horse  will  be.

THE    SALE    A    GOOD    ONE. 


A  New  York  paper  contained  the  following  com- 
ment on  the  recent  Old  Glory  sale: 

"Every  horse  offered  to  the  anxious  buyers  was 
knocked  down  at  its  full  value,  and  consignors  re- 
turned home  more  than  satisfied  with  the  values  they 
received.  If  the  general  average  for  the  nine  days 
did  not  come  up  to  that  of  former  years,  it  was  due 
wholly  to  the  quality  of  the  stock  offered. 

"Perhaps  the  most  singular  incident  in  connection 
with  this  year's  sale  was  the  unprecedented  fact  that 


THE    CLEVELAND     DRIVING    CLUB. 

The  annual  table  of  statistics  of  the  last  matinee 
season-  of  the  Cleveland  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club 
has  been  issued. 

Orrin  C.  led  the  trotters,  with  nine  firsts  out  of 
fifteen  starts,  being  second  six  times.  Interurban  was 
second  with  six  victories  and  three  seconds  in  thirteen 
starts,  while  Nanco  was  first  six  times  out  of  nine. 
Prince  of  Orange  was  first  six  times  out  of  seven,  and 
Belle  Sentinel  five  times  out  of  ten  Out  of  the  forty- 
eight  trotters  who  competed  all  but  eleven  succeeded 
in   winning  blue   ribbons. 

The  pacing  brigade  consisted  of  only  fifteen  side- 
wheelers,  all  but  one  taking  off  one  or  more  blue 
ribbons.  Dutch  Mowrey  led  with  eight  wins  and  four 
seconds  in   thirteen  starts. 

Slippery  Higglns  was  the  most  consistent  saddle 
trotter,  winning  six  times  in  fourteen  starts.  Joe 
Jokes  won  five  times  out  of  eleven  starts  and  Flim 
Flam,  alias  Colonel  Longwell,  won  four  blue  ribbons 
in  nine  starts. 

H.  K.  Devereux  was  the  winning  reinsman  and 
driver  with  fifty-three  firsts  in  ninety-six  starts.  C- 
K.  G  Billings  was  second  with  eighteen  firsts  in 
twenty-three  starts,  while  John  Ray  was  third  with 
thirteen  firsts  in  twenty-seven  starts.  H.  A.  Watter- 
sori  drew  eleven  firsts  in  twenty-eight  starts. 

The  2:04  of  Lou  Dillon  was  the  fastest  heat  trotted 
while  2.03  made  by  Morning  Star,  son  of  Star  Pointer, 
was  the  fastest  mile  paced;  2:43  was  the  slowest 
heat  trotted.  The  fastest  average  was  2:15,  the 
record  for  the  next  to  the  last  matinee.  The  season's 
average  was  2:21.  This  average  was  slower  than  in 
other  years,  this  being  due  to  the  fact  that  the  club 
catered  more  to  the  slower  classes. 

During  the  season  there  were  116  events  with  2S6 
heats   and   396   starters. 


SUCCESSFUL   FAIR   SEASON. 

A  farm  paper  published  in  the  Mississippi  valley 
says : 

Our  readers  have  just  passed  through  one  of  the 
most  successful  seasons  of  agricultural  education  ever 
experienced  by  even  the  oldest  citizen.  The  fairs  both 
large  and  small  have  been  well  patronized  by  exhibit- 
ors and  visitors.  The  disposition  t^  Improvement  has 
never  been  more  pronounced  in  all  lines  of  agricultural 
work.  Each  department  of  farm  work  has  its  adher- 
ents who  carry  on  the  campaign  of  education  in  the 
interest  of  the  specialty  or  particular  industry  repre- 
sented. 

The  agricultural  fair  of  the  present  day  may  very 
properly  be  termed  thp  modern  agricultural  object 
lesson  school.  It  is  through  these  lessons  by  compari- 
son of  objects,  animals  and  things  that  the  fair  visitor 
becomes  a  student,  a  judge,  a  discriminator  in  quality 
between  the  various  competitive  exhibits.  This  train- 
ing is  involuntary;  it  creeps  itno  the  mind  unob- 
served, and  the  first  knowledge  the  person  has  that 
he  is  being  educated  is  in  his  asserting  that  "This  is 
the  best,"  or  "That  is  my  choice."  "I  would  not  give 
this  cow  for  half  a  dozen  of  the  others,"  etc. 

The  intelligent  man,  woman,  boy  or  girl  who  at- 
tends one  of  these  well  managed  county,  district,  or 
state  fairs  and  comes  away  saying  he  or  she  is  not 
greatly  benefited  does  not  express  their  honest  senti- 
ment. The  agricultural  fair  of  the  present  day  is  the 
greatest  educator  we  have  in  practical  farm  produc- 
tion. No  one  appreciates  this  more  than  the  agricul- 
tural newspaper  man,  who  attends  this  shows  from 
the  beginning  to  the  end  of  the  fair  season  and  ob- 
serves the  people  and  talks  to  them  of  the  impressions 
formed.  While  everyone  who  attends  the  fair  gains 
some  advantage  by  the  association  or  impressions 
made,  the  exhibitor  comes  more  directly  under  the 
educational  influence  of  the  fair,  and  consequently 
reaps  a  greater  benefit 

If  you  are  not  already  associated  with  the  county 
agricultural  society  take  up  the  work  at  once.  Help 
organize  and  prepare  to  hold  a  fair  next  year.  The 
county  association  is  the  primary  school  for  the  train- 
ing of  our  best  exhibitors  and  fair  men.

FOUR    GREAT    CHAMPIONS. 


Never  before  in  all  the  history  of  the  standard  bred 
horse  has  such  a  group  of  champion  stallions  been 
owned  on  one  stock  farm  as  are  now  stabled  at  the 
International  Stock  Food  Farm.  Dan  Patch  1:55%, 
champion  of  all  pacers,  Cresceus  2:02%,  the  champion 
ttlng  stallion,  Directum  2:05%  whose  record  made 
ac  four  years  has  never  been  equalled  by  a  trotter  of 
thai  age,  and  Arion  2:07%  whose  two-year-old  record 
of  2:10%  £tin  stands  unapproached,  even  though  it 
was  made  with  the  old  fashioned  high  wheels.  Two 
present  day  champions,  the  ex-champion  trotter  that 
holds  the  four-year-old  championship,  and  the 
holder  of  the  record  for  trotting  two-year-olds.  Each 
stallion  is  not  only  a  king  by  performance  but  each 
r, -  lifferent  family  of  trotters.     Dan  Patch 

sanies  the  pennant  of  the  great  tribe  of  Wilkes, 
-  eus  that  of  the  McGregors,  Directum  upholds 
the  banner  of  the  Dictators  and  Arion  that  of  the 
Electioneers  Mr.  M.  W.  Savage,  president  of  the 
International  Stock  Food  Company,  is  the  man  whose 
enterprise  and  great  business  ability  has  built  up  one 
of  the  largest  establishments  of  the  Mississippi  val- 
ley by  just  such  daring  enterprise  as  led  him  to  buy 
Dan  Patch  for  a  large  amount  and  follow  it  in  suc- 
ceeding years  by  the  acquirement  of  the  three  addi- 
tional champions. 

The  history  of  Dan  Patch  is  known  to  all  horse- 
men. He  was  sired  by  the  mighty  Joe  Patchen  2:01% 
and  his  dam  is  Zelica  by  Wilkesberry  13.953.  his  sec- 
ond dam  by  Pacing  Abdallah.  No  stallion  that  ever 
lived  has  approached  his  performances.  He  has  paced 
thirty-six  miles  in  2:-01^  to  1:55%,  and  has  paced  nine 
miles  that  average  1:57%.  He  paced  six  miles  this 
year  that  averaged  1:58.  and  wound  up  his  campaign 
by  starting  against  the  record  of  Star  Po.nter  made 
with  no  runner  in  front  and  reduced  it  a  second  and 
a  quarter.  This  year  he  left  stud  service  on  June 
15th,  up  to  which  time  he  had  been  mated  with  fifty- 
two  mares.  He  made  his  first  exhibition  in  Septem- 
ber, pacing  the  mile  in  1.59^2.  a  marvelous  perform- 
ance. During  the  year  he  broke  four  world's  records, 
and  tlie  Canadian  half  mile  track  record,  traveled 
6.000  miles  in  sixty-six  days,  and  finished  the  season 
stiong,  vigorous,  in  perfect  condition  and  very  prom- 
ising for  speed  exhibitions  next  year.  He  is  not  only 
the  greatest  race  horse  and  exhibition  horse  in  the 
country  (having  drawn  250,000  to  see  him  in  four 
days  his  year),  but  he  is  a  great  sire  He  already 
has  a  2:10  performer  in  Ed.  Patch  2:08%,  and  two 
of  his  get  are  expected  to  beat  2:05  next  year.  He 
has  more  miles  in  two  minutes  to  his  credit  that  all 
other  trotters  and  pacers  that  ever  lived.  He  never 
lost  a  race.  Like  the  great  Eclipse  it  was  invariably 
Dan  first  and  the  rest  nowhere,  and  it  made  no  differ- 
ence how  fast  they  went,  he  could  play  with  all  of 
them  in  the  last  half.  Mr.  Savage  was  offered  and 
refused  the  immense  sum  of  $180  000  for  him  this 
year,  which  offer  was  made  by  a  syndicate  of  horse- 
men. 

Directum  2.05%  did  not  appear  in  the  racing  world 
with  a  preliminary  flourish  of  trumpets.  He  was  bred 
by  John  Green  of  Dublin,  Cal.,  and  foaled  in  1889. 
When  broken  to  harness,  he  showed  the  first  time  he 
stepped  off  that  the  mantle  of  speed  had  fallen  on  his 
shoulders;  that  he  was  a  true  son  of  the  great  black 
stallion  that  made  a  sensational  campaign  in  1883 
in  the  East.  Even  on  the  lookout  for  fresh  material 
and  fully  recognizing  the  great  capabilities  of  the 
Director  family,  Monroe  Salisbury  leased  the  racing 
qualities  of  Directum,  quietly  brought  him  East  the 
spring  of  1S92  and  made  a  name  for  him  in  the  very 
first  race  in  which  he  started.  There  were  no  ante- 
campaign  stories  of  the  wonderful  speed  of  the  black 
three-year-old.  He  came  unheralded,  and  the  first 
heat  he  trotted  in  a  contested  race  convinced  those 
who  witnessed  his  performance  that  "the  king-maker" 
had  brought  out  another  world's  champion.  That  year 
and  the  next  Drectum  went  through  two  marvelous 
campaigns,  that  of  1893  being  the  greatest  ever  under- 
taken by  a  four-year-old,  meeting  and  defeating  every 
good  one  in  his  class,  closing  the  season  with  the 
world's  record  for  trotting  stallions,  which  he  held  for 
seven  long  years.  That  year  his  speed  was  a  revelation 
and  his  .ourage  a  marvel  to  horsemen.  Singly  or  in 
battalions,  Directum  was  more  than  a  match  for  all. 
As  a  four-year-old  he  started  in  seven  races,  winning 
all  of  them,  and  gave  five  exhibitions  against  time, 
lowering  the  stallion  record  as  follows:  At  Evans- 
vllle,  In  1..  to  2:07»A;  at  New  York  to  2:07;  at  St. 
Joseph.  2:06^.  and  at  Chicago,  to  2:06^.  Finally,  at 
Nashvilli  Tenn.,  he  electrified  the  world  by  winning 
the   third   heal   of  the  free-for-all  in  2:05%. 

It  was  expected  that  he  would  prove  a  great  sire, 
but  he  has  even  exceeded  these  expectations.  He  is 
new  the  sire  of  twenty-eight  standard  performers,  of 
which  four  are  in  the  2:10  list. 

Cn    ceus   2:02%,    bought   at    the   Old    Glory   Sale   in 
New    York    last    month    for    $21,000,    is    the    greatest 
bargain  any  breeder  has  secured  in  years.     It  is  un- 
isary   to  stop  and   enumerate  his     long     list     of

earlng  power.  In  the  sum  of  their  atti- 
butes,  some  horses— as  some  men — seem  to  transcend 
the  limits  which   nature,  as   we   conceive   it,    has   set.

It  can  no)  be  den  i.  And  out  of  it  all  stands  this  one 
important  fact'  that  he  is  a  stallion— The  only  stal- 
lion that  ever  has  held  the  world's  trotting  record. 
Yet,    thai    I  may   be   recalled   more   forcibly, 

we  give  herewith  some  brief  statistics: 

As  a  three-year-old  he  secured  a  record  of  2:11%  in 
a  race  against  eleven  of  the  best  aged  trotters  of  that 


year.  There  were  eight  heats  in  the  race  and  Cresceus 
won  the  last  three  heats,  trotting  the  seventh  and 
eighth  in  2.11%.  As  a  four-year-old  he  reduced  his 
record  to  2:09%,  as  a  five-year-old  to  2:07%,  as  a  six- 
year-old  to  2:04,  as  a  seven-year-old  to  2:02%,  which 
made  him  then  the  champion  trotter  of  the  world, 
and  the  next  year  when  he  was  eight  he  made  that 
wonderful  performance  at  Memphis,  where  he  trotted 
two  miles  in  4:17,  also  a  world's  record. 

Volunteer  says:  To  doubt  of  Cresceus'  success  as  a 
sire — why,  if  one  stops  to  think  of  it,  the  very  idea 
is  absurd! — false  to  every  fact  and  theory,  opposed 
alike  to  reason,  precedent  and  logic.  Look  down  the 
list  of  previous  champion  stallions  and  observe  what 
great  sires  practically  all  have  made.  Consider  then 
Cresceus'  rank  among  them;  consider  his  breeding — 
by  one  of  the  greatest  progenitors  and  out  of  one  of 
the  greatest  matrons  known  to  stud  history;  look  at 
the  horse  himself — an  individual  upon  whom  power 
and  greatness  are  so  legibly  stamped  as  to  be  at 
once  impressively  apparent — and  ask  yourself  the 
question,  not  will  he  succeed  as  a  sire,  but — how  on 
earth  can  he  do  anything  else? 

There  is  another  potent  reason  why  Cresceus  is 
bound  to  prove  a  great  sire.  That  reason  is.  because  he 
is  the  greatest  representative  of  one  of  the  greatest 
strains  of  blood  in  the  trotting  peerage.  Aside  from 
Robert  McGregor,  there  are  only  three  progenitors 
that  have  sired  five  or  more  sons  that  have  each  sired 
a  better  than  2:09  trotter — George  Wilkes,  Electioner 
and  Hambletonian  10.  It  is  with  this  immortal  trio — 
all  of  them  older  than  him  and  belonging  to  senior 
generations — that  Robert  McGregor,  in  this  respect, 
is  alone,  of  all  sires  entitled  to  rank.  Could  anything 
speak  more  eloquently  of  the  immense  potency  and 
value  of  the  McGregor  blood  in  the  male  line?  Yet, 
remarkable  as  the  fact  may  seem,  there  is  not  today 
a  son  of  Robert  McGregor  in  any  of  the  great  studs 
of  this  country,  where  he  is  being  given  opportunity 
to  perpetuate  the  blood.  If  other  sons  of  Robert  Mc- 
Gregor, standing  in  the.  "tall  grass"  remote  from  the 
great  breeding  centers,  can  get  such  trotters  as 
Snyder  McGregor  2:05%,  and  Kid  Shea  2:07%,  what 
will  Cresceus  do  placed  where  he  belongs,  at  the  head 
of  a  great  stud  of  America's  choicest  matrons? 

Arion  2:07%  is  the  pride  of  California.  As  a  two- 
year-old,  he  trotted  in  2.10%,  to  high-wheel  sulky, 
a  performance  that  has  stood  as  the  world's  record  for 
trotters  of  that  age  since  1S91,  the  nearest  approach 
to  it  being  2:13%.  As  a  three-year-old,  he  set  the 
world's  trotting  record  of  2:10*4  for  colts  of  that  age. 
No  three-year-old  stallion  has  equaled  or  beaten  it.  As 
a  four-year-old,  he  won  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  stake, 
$11,000,  for  four-year-old  trotters,  defeating  Trevil- 
lian  2:0S%;  Belleflower  2:12%;  Czar,  and  Parole. 
Trotted  a  record  mile  in  2:07%.  In  these  days  of  ex- 
treme speed,  when  record  after  record  goes  down 
each  year  before  the  onslaught  of  champions,  it  is 
unusual  to  see  a  world's  record  of  any  kind  stand 
unassailed  for  thirteen  years.  And  yet  the  two-year- 
old  record  of  the  world  still  stands  where  the  peerless 
Arion  set  it  in  1S91.  His  mile  in  2:10%  as  a  two-year- 
old  stands  pre-eminently  at  the  head  of  all  trotting 
performances.  The  miles  of  Lou  Dillon,  Creceus  and 
others  pale  into  insignificance  when  compared  with  it, 
and  it  seems  to  be  the  universal. opinion  that  his  rec- 
ord will  stand  for  years  and  years  to  come.  Even 
when  a  two-year-old  does  trot  a  mile  in  2:10%,  it  will 
be  to  "bike"  sulky  and  allowance  must  be  made  before 
the  glory  of  Arion's  performance  fades  Since  the  day 
Arion  trotted  that  sensational  mile,  he  has  been  con- 
stantly before  the  public.  His  sale  for  $125,000  still 
stands  a  world's  record;  his  three-year-old  record  of 
2:10^  has  never  been  equaled  by  a  colt,  and  his  four- 
year-old  mark  of  2:07%  surpassed  by  but  few  stal- 
lions. His  opportunities  in  the  stud  have  been  most 
limited — only  those  in  close  touch  with  conditions 
can  appreciate  how  limited — yet  he.  has  sired  twenty- 
seven  with  standard  records,  among  them  the  great 
trotter,  Nico  2:0S%,  while  one  of  his  daughters  has 
produced  the  peerless  and  lamented  Sadie  Mac  2:06% 
and  another,  that  great  young  trotter  Todd  2:14%. 

The  International  Stock  Food  Farm  contains  700 
acres  and  is  not  only  the  home  of  Dan  Patch  1:55%, 
Cresceus  2:02%,  Directum  2:05%  and  Arion  2:07% 
but  of  Ed  Patch  2:08%,  Roy  "Wilkes  2:06^:  and  But- 
tonwood  2: 17. 

The  farm  is  ten  miles  from  the  city  limits  of  Minne- 
apolis on  the  Chicago,  St.  Paul,  Minneapolis  %  Omaha 
Railroad  and  the  station  at  the  farm  is  named  Savage. 
The  farm  is  beautifully  situated  in  the  Minnesota  Val- 
ley, watered  by  a  sparkling  trout  stream  that  never 
freezes  in  the  winter  and  twenty-five  springs.  The 
Minnesota  River  rtows  through  the  farm  so  that  it 
can  be  reached  by  either  boat  or  cars. 

The  barn  on  the  farm  cost  over  fifty  thousand  dol- 
lars and  contains  over  two  hundred  box  stalls.  The 
mile  track  was  built  by  Mr.  Seth  Griffin  at  a  cost  of 
eighteen  hundred  dollars  and  is  an  exact  reproduction 
of  the  celebrated  Memphis  track  A  one-mile  covered 
track  will  be  built  next  year. 

There  are  about  100  high  class  brood  mares, 
twelve  of  which  are  2:10  producers;  forty  others  are 
producers.  This  farm  was  started  with  the  expecta- 
tion of  not  only  showing  what  Minnesota  could  do  in 
raising  high  class  harness  horses,  but  also  as  a  fairly 
equipped  experimental  farm  to  show  the  value  of  In- 
ternational Stock  Food.  All  the  stallions,  brood  mares 
and  colts  are  fed  International  Stock  Food  every  day. 
Cresceus  has  been  taken  in  hand  by  Mr.  Hersey  and 
is  now  being  prepared  with  a  view  of  breaking  his 
record  next  fall,  and  Mr.  Savage  expects  both  Dan 
l';itrh  and  Cresceus  to  lower  their  present  records  in 
the   fall  of  1906. 

A  large  majority  of  horse  owners,  drivers  and  horse 
breeding  farms  are  now  constant  users  of  Interna- 
tional Stock  Food  and  its  use  is  strongly  endorsed  by 
the  old  veteran.  Monroe  Salisbury. 

International  Stock  Food  has  had  for  years  a  large 
sale  In  the  extreme  western  states,  but  for  the  pur- 
pose of  more   thoroughly  pushing  the   sale  of  Inter- 


national Stock  Food  and  their  other  preparations  on 
this  Coast,  Mr.  C.  E.  Veeder,  who  has  been  in  the 
employ  of  the  International  Stock  Food  Company  at

IMPROVEMENT    IN    BIKES. 


W.  J.  Kenney,  the  well  known  proprietor  of  the 
Kenney  Bicycle  Company  at  532  Valencia  street,  re- 
cently returned  from  an  extended  trip  through  the 
principal  states  on  the  other  side  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains, and  gives  us  the  following  interesting  account 
of  his  observations. 

"During  my  two  months'  trip  through  the  eastern 
country  I  visited  ail  the  principal  race  tracks  and 
speedways  of  the  country,  and  practically  all  the  fac- 
tories where  track  sulkies,  sped  carts  and  speed 
wagons  are  made.  I  must  say  they  are  making  great 
wagons  are  elegantly 
ing.  The  new  speed 
road  brushing  and  train- 
almost  exclusively  for 
and  road  carts  are  used 
all  the  other  cities  speed 
Boston,  while  in  nearly 
Cleveland,  Detroit  and 
speedways  of  New  York, 
proper  thing  on  the 
speed  wagon  is  the  only 
these  vehicles.  The 
improvements     in     all 

made  affairs,  with  high  arch  axies,  low  wheels,  long 
shafts,  and  are  very  light  weight,  being  from  65  to 
125  pounds.  As  they  are  now  made  they  are  very 
strong  and  durable,  however,  and  a  horse  can  trot 
or  pace  almost  as  fast  in  them  as  he  can  to  the  track 
sulky.  For  a  stylish  rig  one  of  these  wagons,  driven 
by  a  handsome  horse,  can't  be  beat,  and  when  our 
oval  speed  track  in  Golden  Gate  Park  is  finished, 
which  will  be  about  the  first  of  next  June,  these 
speed  wagons  are  certain  to  be  all  the  go  with  San 
Francisco  members  of  the  matinee  clubs. 

"Radical  changes  are  being  made  in  sulky  con- 
struction in  nearly  all  the  large  factories.  The  new 
models  for  next  year  will  have  shafts  about  seven 
inches  longer  on  the  average,  the  arches  will  be 
dropped  35  and  33  inches,  and  some  as  low  as  29. 
All  the  first-class  makers  are  substituting  second- 
growth  hickory  for  arch  and  bow  instead  of  using 
steel  tubing.  This  is  a  big  improvement  in  itself, 
and  all  the  builders  now  realize  that  to  be  fast  and 
durable  the  wheels  of  a  sulky  must  be  kept  in  per- 
fect line. 

"The  McMurray  sulky  has  a  very  clever  device  for 
this  purpose,  which  is  an  exclusive  patent  of  the 
company's  and  is  invaluable,  as  when  a  sulky  has  had 
a  bad  wrench  from  accident  or  any  cause,  anyone  can 
line  up  the  wheels  with  this  device  in  a  few  minutes. 
The  only  tool  needed  is  a  monkey  wrench 

"The  changes  in  speed  carts  for  track  work  are 
many.  There  are  longer  shafts,  dropped  seat,  wider 
•wheel  centers,  and  many  other  new  features  which 
will  please  the  lovers  of  a  good  horse. 

"On  all  the  leading  tracks  and  at  all  the  big  busi- 
ness centers  there  is  a  very  optimistic  feeling  in  re- 
gard to  harness  racing.  The  owners  and  trainers  were 
at  the  Old  Glory  sale  in  force  and  a  very  large  pro- 
portion of  the  horses  purchased  during  the  two 
weeks'  auction  were  bought  by  persons  who  will  have 
them  raced  on  some  of  the  many  circuits  next  year." 


The  Members  of  the  California  Polo  and  Pony 
Racing  Association  held  a  meeting  at  the  office  of 
President  Rudolph  Spreckels  Monday.  It  was  de- 
cided to  pass  over  the  election  of  officers  until  the 
next  meeting,  when  many  of  the  members  that  are 
now  out  of  town  will  be  back.  Plans  were  discussed 
for  a  race  meet  to-  be  held  on  Charles  W.  Clark's  track 
at  San  Mateo  on  New  Tear's  day.  There  will  be  five 
races,  a  three-eighths,  a  quarter  mile,  a  half  mile,  a 
three-quarter  mile,  and  a  three  mile  event.  The  lat- 
ter contest  will  be  for  hunters  and  it  is  expected  that 
many  of  the  membrs  of  the  San  Mateo  Hunt  Club 
will  enter  their  mounts.  There  is  some  prospect  that 
the  scene  of  the  pony  racing  will  shift  at  the  end  of 
February  to  Coronado.  The  racing  association  at  that 
place  is  making  a  strong  bid  for  the  stables  of  the 
California  Association. 


DISTEMPER  AND  COUGHS  CUBED. 
Golds  in  animals  if  neglectc-d  are  apt  to  result  seri- 
ously. They  can  be  as  readi.y  cured  as  in  the  human 
family.  If  your  horses  cough  and  are  out  of  condi- 
tion, ^better  give  Craft's  Distemper  and  Cough  Cure  a 
trial  before  they  come  down  to  distemper.  This  well 
known  remedy  is  one  of  the  very  best  available,  and  is 
fully  guaranted  to  cure  coughs,  colds,  distemper,  pink- 
eye, and  all  catarrhal  diseases  of  horses,  sheep  and 
dogs.  It  will  pay  well  to  have  on  hand  at  all  times 
a  bottle  of  this  invaluable  remedv.  It  is  made  bv 
the  Wells  Medicine  Co..  13  Third  street.  Lafavette.  Ind., 
and  their  book,  "Veterinary  Pointers,"  tells  ail  about  it. 
It  also  gives  valuable  veterinary  information  about 
the  care  of  horses,  how  to  tell  distemper,  nursing,  etc. 
A  postal  card  will  bring  it.  and  any  of  our  readers 
who  send  for  it  -will  certainly-  feel  well  repaid  for  the 
postal  card  and  the  little  time  that  it  takes. 


"KNOWS  OP  NOTHING  AS  GOOD." 

Mr.  J.  T.  Taylor  of  Cle  Elum,  Wash-  writes  as  fol- 
lows: "In  my  opinion  QUINN'S  OINTMENT  is  the  best 
remedy  there  is  ,to  remove  bunches.  I  removed  a  large 
bunch  from  a  horse's  forehead  that  seemed  to  be  solid 
bone;  and  one  as  large  as  a  man's  head  from  another 
horse's  shoulder;  have  removed  four  or  five  other 
bunches  from  horses."  This  is  the  general  verdict  of 
leading  horsemen  all  over  the  countrj-.  For  curbs, 
splints,  spavins,  windpuffs  and  all  bunches  there  is  noth- 
ing better.  Price  One  Dollar  per  bottle  delivered.  Ad-

NUTWOOD    STOCK    FARM. 


Eight  ago,  Mr.  Martin  Carter  of  Irvlngton, 

Alameda  county.   California,   sent   his  mare.   Lida   W. 
to   be  bred   to   William   Corbitfs   premier  stal- 
lion Guv  Wilkes  2:15%.    At  that  time  Guy  Wilkes  was 
commanding;  a   service   fee   of  $250.   and   in   the  esti- 
n  of  men  who  had  given  the  subject  of  breeding 
trotting  horses  more  than  passing  attention  was   the 
q    California.      Mr.    Carter's   mare   was    by 
Nutwood   2:18%,  out   of  a  mare  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen 
Jr.   2:27,   her  gran  dam   a   noted  running  mare  of  the 
days    of    California     racing    known    as    Rebel 
Daughter,  and  sired  by  that  "Godolphin  of  the  Wilder- 
Uo    borrow    a    term    from    Capt.    Tom    Merry), 
known  as  Williamson's  Belmont.     Lida  W    had  a  race 
I  of  2:18%,  and  could  speed  at  a  two  minute  clip. 
so    Mr.    Carter   reckoned   that   the   Nutwood-Patchen- 
ont  blood  in  her  veins,  when  combined  with  that 
,     Wilkes,  would  produce  something  worth  while. 
He  was  not  disappointed.    In  the  spring  of  1S8S  Lida 
W.  foaled  a  handsome  chestnut  colt  which  was  named 
Nutwood  Wilkes,  that  his  name  might  designate  his 
breeding,  and  this  horse  is  fulfilling  every  promise  of 
the  career  outlined  for  him  by  his  breeder.    Mr.  Carter 
to  California  with  no  capital  but  a  knowledge  of 
the  wagon  and  cabinet  making  trade,  a  level  head  and 
a  rugged  constitution.     He  had  learned  when  a  youth 
that  anything  worth  doing  at  all  was  worth  doing  well, 
and  with  his  brother,  the  late  Thomas  Carter,  began 
at   Newark,   in  Alameda  county,   the  building  of  cars 
for  steam  and   cable  roads.     Carter  Bros.'   car  shops 
soon  grew  to  a  large  institution  and  did  many  thou- 
sands of  dollars  worth  of  business  every  year,  turning 
out    hundreds   of  cars   annually      Having  acquired   a 
fortune  in  this  enterprise.  Mr.  Martin  Carter  concluded 
to   retire   from   active   business   soon   after   the   death 
of  his  brother,  and  now  lives  upon  the  farm  near  Ir- 
vington.   where   his   family  of  four  grown   sons  were 
born  and  raised. 

tl  was  about  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago  that  Mr. 
Carter  began  breeding  a  few  trotters  as  a  recreation 
and  pleasure,  and  he  followed  the  same  plan  that  had 
made  him  successful  in  car  building;  he  used  nothing 
but  the  best  materials  and  combined  them  in  a  way 
where  in  his  opinion  every  part  would  fill  the  place  for 
which  it  was  best  fitted.  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  which 
was  the  name  given  this  farm  of  betwreen  three  and 
four  hundred  acres  of  fine  land,  achieved  success  from 
the  very  first,  and  from  it  have  come  many  cham- 
pions, and  now  in  his  days  of  retirement  from  active 
business  Mr.  Carter  is  devoting  more  of  his  time  than 
ever  to  superintending  the  breeding  and  training  of 
the  produce  of  his  stallions  and  brood  mares. 

Few  men  engaged  in  the  breeding  of  the  American 
trotting  and  pacing  horse  have  started  out  with  the 
broad  minded  ideas  which  have  governed  Mr.  Carter 
all  through  life.  He  has  never  been  kept  back  by  the 
idea  that  there  was  no  other  high  class  blood  than 
that  on  his  farm,  but  has  been  a  liberal  purchaser  at 
sales,  and  sent  his  mares  to  stallions  in  all  parts  of 
the  State  that  in  his  opinion,  formed  after  much 
study  and  observation,  were  the  most  likely  to  aid  in 
building  up  and  improving  the  stock  he  owned.  Mares 
from  Nutwood  Stock  Farm  have  been  sent  to  such 
stallions  as. Director,  McKinney,  Zombro,  Zolock,  Stam 
B.,  Searchlight-  Bonnie  Direct,  Direct,  Directum,  Kin- 
ney Lou  and/many  others  that  might  be  mentioned, 
and  the  first  mare  to  be  mated  with  the  great  race 
horse  Star  Pointer  1:59*4  on  his  arrival  in  California 
was  a  mare  owned  by  Mr  Carter.  He  has  also  ac- 
quired by  purchase  mares  with  the  blood  of  Elec- 
tioneer. Steinway"  and  other  high  class  sires,  until 
there  is  now  at  the  farm  as  choice  a  collection  of 
well  bred  colts  and  fillies  as  can  be  found  on  any 
farm  in  America.  Nutwood  Farm  is  strong  in  what 
Its  owner  -  calls  the  blood  of  the  "Big  Four" — Geo. 
Wilkes,  Electioneer,  Director  and  Nutwood. 

Nutwood  Wilkes,  the  premier  of  this  farm,  is  now  17 
years  of  age,  and  some  idea  of  his  splendid  propor- 
tions,   his    youthful    appearance    and    his    beautifully 
rounded  form  can  be  obtained  from  the  picture  which 
occupies  the  center  of  the  opposite  page.     The  pho- 
tograph  of  which   this  picture  is  a  reproduction  was 
on    Sunday,    the    third    of   this    month,    by   the 
writer,  and  has  had  no  retouching,  so  that  the  reader 
idge  for  himself  what  a  well  preserved  and  fine 
looking    stallion    Nutwood    Wilkes    is    at    the    age    of 
een  years.     He  is  strong  and  vigorous  as  a  colt 
Hne  a  type  of  the  American  trotting  stallion  as 
one   would   wish   to  see. 

It   was   at    Petaluma    in    1S96    that   Nutwood   Wilkes 
took  his  record  of  2:16%  in  a  race  he  won  in  straight 
In  that  race  he  beat  Mamie  Griffin  2:12,  Clay 
S.  2:13%,  Stella   2.15,  Myrtle  Thorne  2:18  and  Chari- 
vari 2:20%,  one  of  the  best  fields  of  trotters  out  that 
He  was  a  game  race  horse!   much  faster  than 
his  record,  and  but  for  an  accident  would  have  had  a 
record  of  2:10.    it  i      how*    er,  his  accomplishments  as

BOB  INGERSOLL  2:14%. 

Here  are  ten  horses  with  records  below  2:15,  five 
of  them  trotters.  Three  three  year  old  trotters  that 
held  the  records  for  the  year  of  their  sex.  Is  there 
another  stallion  that  has  sired  three  three  year  old 
trotters  with  race  records  below  2:14?  If  so  his  name 
cannot  be  recalled  by  the  writer  at  this  time. 

It  was  in  1S9S  that  the  bay  colt  John  A.  McKerron 
was  taken  east.  He  had  a  record  of  2.24%  as  a  two 
year  old,  made  the  previous  year,  and  this  he  reduced 
to  2:12%  at  Louisville,  where  he  met  the  best  colts 
of  the  year.     An  eastern  writer  thus  describes  him: 

This  race,  w^hile  a  losing  performance,  was  the" 
strongest  evidence  of  the  colt's  superb  courage  and 
real  class,  for  never  had  a  trotter  suffered  at  the 
hands  of  his  trainer  more  hardships  than  he,  or  been 
put  to  more  heartrending  tasks  under  the  most  unfa- 
vorable circumstances.  Notwithstanding  a  course  of 
training  that  was  conducive  to  an  early  break  down 
and  one  which  in  nine  esses  out  of  ten  would  have 
so  shattered  the  constitution  of  the  horse  as  to  ren- 
der his  future  valueless  for  racing  purposes,  he  wrent 
into  winter  quarters  very  low  in  flesh,  weak  from  ex- 
cessive training,  yet  despite  his  worn-out  appearance 
there  was  nothing  to  indicate  unsoundness  or  break- 
down At  this  stage  of  his  career  his  real  capacity 
had  attracted  the  attention  of  Mr.  H.  K.  Devereux  of 
Cleveland,  and  so  thoroughly  impressed  was.  he  With 
the  colt's  rare  courage,  his  purity  of  gait  and  his 
marvelous  flight  of  speed  that  he  determined  to  be- 
come the  owner  of  such  a  rare  combination  of  good 
qualities,  even  though  unkind  fate  had  brought  the 
horse  into  a  condition  little  short  of  a  wrreck.  After, 
buying  the  "colt  his  new  owner  determined  upon"  a' 
course  that  seemed  to  him  the  only  means  by  which 
the  trotter  could  be  brought  back  to  his  normal  con- 
dition, and  so  firmly  did  he  adhere  to  his  original  re- 
solve that  the  stallion  recovered  from  the  ill  effects 
of  his  hard  usage  and  developed  into  the  superb  trot- 
ter that  he  is  today,  physically  perfect  and  developed 
into  a  horse  of  great  substance  and  rare  quality. 

Mr.  Devereux  allowed  the  horse  to  have  a  complete 
rest  in  his  four  year  old  form,  and  it  was  not  until 
1S99  that  the  stallion  was  asked  to  show  his  real  ca- 
pacity under  favorable  circumstances.  For  the  first 
time  in  his  life  he  was  given  a  careful  preparation, 
was  properly  shod,  and  driven  with  judgment,  and  as 
a  result  he  improved  rapidly,  and  in  August  trotted 
in  2:09%  in  a  matinee  at  Cleveland.  That  season  he 
won  the  first  race  for  the  Boston  Challenge  Trophy, 
which  race  was  destined  to  become  the  most  brilliant 
series  of  amateur  contests  ever  inaugurated,  and 
which  races  have  given  races  for  pleasure  an  impetus 
that  nothing  else  could  have  accomplished.  In  the 
race  at  Readvilie  John  A.  McKerron  met  and  de- 
feated the  very  fast  gelding  Senator  L ,  and  the 
time  of  the  fastest  heat,  2:10,  equaled  the  race  record 
for  that  style  of  contest.  At  the  close  of  that  year 
this  stallion  clearly  demonstrated  that  he  was  a  trot- 
ter of  extraordinary  merit,  and  that  his  future  was  to 
be  an  especially  brilliant  one.  for  rarely,  if  ever,  had 
there  been  seen  a  trotter  with  such  faultless  action, 
such  perfect  manners,  and  such  a  superb  way  of  go- 
ing. In  his  six  year  old  form  he  early  showed  a 
marked  improvement  over  his  previous  best  form,  and 
in  addition  to  winning  the  second  race  for  the  Boston 
Cup,  which  he  succeeded  in  doing  with  consummate 
ease,  in  comparatively  slow  time,  he  lowered  his  rec- 
ord to  2:06%,  and  at  once  became  a  formidable  can- 
didate for  championship  honors.  In  1902  he  received 
a  special  preparation  for  what  was  destined  to  be  the 
most  brilliant  contest  ever  indulged  in  by  amateur 
racing  men.  and  long  before  the  race  itself  took  place 
trotting  enthusiasts  were  keyed  to  a  degree  of  in- 
terest never  before  shown  in  any  race  between  light 
harness  horses.  This  was  the  third  and  what  proved 
to  be  the  final  race  for  the  Boston  Trophy,  and  de- 
veloped into  the  most  spectacular  and  thrilling- of  the 
three  contests  that  decided  the  ownership  of  the 
handsome  cup  that  was  offered  by  the  Boston  Driving 
Club.  The  day  of  the  race  found  public  opinion  united 
on  the  chances  of  Lord  Derby,  for  while  The  Monk 
had  a  few  weeks  previous  shown  rare  form,  he  lacked 
the  bloom  that  goes  with  perfect  condition.  John  A. 
McKerron  on  that  day  was  infinitely  the  superior  of 
either  of  his  opponents,  and  his  victory  was  such  a  de- 
cisive one  that  it  left  no  room  for  doubt  as  to  which 
was  the  greatest  matinee  trotter  that  had  been  seen. 
In  this  race  he  fairly  out-trotted  Lord  Derby,  which 
horse  had  shown  greater  flights  of  speed  than  even 
the  champion  Cresceus  himself,  and  yet  which  was 
unable  to  stand  the  pressure  of  having  McKerron 
carry  him  a  half  very  close  to  one  minute.  During 
the  October  meeting  at  Lexington  the  stallion  gave 
an  exhibition  of  the  greatest  flight  of  speed  that  had 
ever  been  seen,  by  trotting  the  first  half  in  1:00% 
under  restraint.  At  Memphis  he  trotted  an  evenly 
rated  mile  in  2:05%,  after  which  he  was  shipped  to 
Kentucky  and  given  the  benefit  of  a  winter  at  Wal- 
nut Hall  He  wintered  splendidly,  and  in  the  spring 
was  a  better  horse  than  ever,  carrying  more  flesh, 
and  to  all  appearances  was  ready  for  the  supreme  ef- 
fort of  his  life.  Some  time  before  the  Readvilie  meet- 
ing he  developed  a  slight  splint,  which  pained  him 
considerably,  and  although  he  trotted  a  mile  at  that 
meeting  in  2:04%,  was  far  from  being  at  his  best,  and 
his  performance  at  Syracuse,  soon  after,  in  which  he 
trotted  in  2:04%,  was,  all  things  considered,  one  of  the 
most  brilliant  exhibitions  "of 'speed  and  courage  ever 
seen,  as  he  labored  under  almost  every  disadvantage, 
owing  to  the  flint-like  condition  of  the  track,  which 
aggravated  the  soreness  An  his  leg.  It  was  this  mile 
more  than  anything  he  had  ever  done  before  that  con- 
vinced all  who  saw  him  that  the  stallion  was  capable 
of  approximating,  if  not  equalling,  the  then  existing 
stallion  record,  and  whether  or  not  he  succeeds  in  jus- 
tifying the  belief  in  his  capacity  will  depend  only  on 
his  condition,  for  his  speed  and  courage  are  unques- 
tioned. 

This  year  another  three  year  old  by  Nutwood 
Wilkes  trotted  himself  right  into  the  limelight.  As  a 
two  year  old  he  had  started  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity 


for  colts  of  that  age,  and  though  very  short  of  work 
had  won  the  first  heat  in  2:24  and  been  close  up  in  the 
remaining  heats  in  faster  time. 

This  year  he  was  better  prepared  for  his  first  start, 
and  when  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity  was  .trotted 
at  Santa  Rosa  he  won  so  handily  in  three  .straight 
heats'  in  the  fast  time  of  2.13%,  2:13%  and^.2:16  that 
his  great  merit  as  a  colt  trotter  was  immediately 
recognized  by  every  horseman  who  saw  him"  win  ^Ib 
impressively.  ^ 

Two  weeks  elapsed  before  his  next  start,  which  was 
in  the  Occident  Stake  on  the  opening  day  of  the  Cali7 
fornia  State  Fair.  For  three  days,  previous  to  .thi| 
race  his  trainer,  Chas.  Whitehead,  was  very  sick  and 
unable  to  work  or  drive  the  gelding.  The  result?  w=§& 
North  Star  was  a  little  rank  and  when  the  race  was 
started  Whitehead,  after  falling  to  secure  another 
driver,  got  up  behind  him,  but  found  it  difficult  in  his 
weakened  condition  to  hold  North  Star  to  his  gait 
during  the  first  three  heats  .The  colt  had  all  his 
speed,  however,  and  although  ..jnaking  disastrous 
breaks  in  each  of  these  miles  finished  a  good  second 
every  time  and  in  the  fourth  heat-trotted  the  mile 
in  2:15%,  the  fastest  heat  in  the  .history  of  the  stake, 
and  won  handily.  The  next  two  heats  and  the  race 
and  first  and  third  money  were  his.         -.    . 

One  week  later  he  started  in  the  Stanford  Stake. 
Again  was  he  returned  a  winner,  and  although  losing 
the  first  heat  to  Athasham  by  a  break,  took  the  nexi 
three  easily  and  placing  first,  third  and  fourth  moneys 
to  the  credit  of  his  owner. 

North  Star  is  a  largecolt,  standing  slightly  over  six- 
teen hands.  He  has  a  most  powerful  shoulder  with 
great  depth  through  the  heart,  and  his  hind  quarters 
are  muscular  and  well  developed,  although  his  greai. 
development  forward  would  cause  an  inexperienced 
person  to  say  he  was  light  behind.  He  has  a  tre- 
mendous stride,  with  much  action,  and  when  at  speed 
his  gait  is  regular  as  clock  work.  That  he  is  one 
of  the  fastest  three  year  olds  ever  foaled  is  proven  by 
his  two  heats  in  2: 13%  in  his  first  race  this  year. 
He  was  in  condition  to  lower  this  mark  at  Sacra- 
mento had  the  new  track  not  been  so  heavy  and  cuppy 
as  to  prevent  fast  time,  but  his  fourth  heat  in  the 
Occident  in  2:15%  is  considered  by  many  horsemen  as 
good  as  2:11%  over  a  fairly  good  track.  That  he  has 
gameness  and  great  endurance  was  proven  in  the 
same  race,  his  sixth  heat  in  2:1S%  being  a  wonderful 
performance  under  the  conditions  for  any  three  year 
old. 

North  Star  is  the  greatest  money  winning  three 
year  old  ever  raced  in  California,  is  the  only  colt  that 
ever  won  all  three  of  the  leading  three  year  old  stakes 
annually  trotted  in  this  state,  and  has  the  fastest  mile 
by  a  three  year  old  gelding  in  the  United  States  to 
his  credit  this  year.  Chas.  "Whitehead  considers  him 
the  greatest  three  year  old  he  has  ever  seen  and  be- 
lieves he  could  be  fitted  for  a  mile  in  2:10  or  better 
on  any  good  track.  He  should  trot  in  2:05  or  better 
as  an  aged  horse. 

On  the  Nutwood  Stock  Farm  at  the  present  time 
are  quite  a  number  of  youngsters,  among  which  are 
the  following:

ROUGH    RIDERS  OF   THE   PLAINS. 


BY  JOHN  DICKS  HOWE. 


When  the  writer  first  drifted  into  Wyoming,  thirty 
tie  was  of  the  opinion  that  the  broncho 
ridera  ins,  hardened  by  the  work  they  had 

to  perform,  would  make  exceptionally  fine  soldiers  es- 
Lvalry  branch  of  the  service.  After 
mixing  with  these  hardy  plainsmen  on  the  ranches,  on 
the  train,  around  the  ramp  fires,  and  on  the  round- 
ups it  was  found  that  a  mistake  had  been  made. 
The  writer  does  not  wish  to  convey  the  impression 
that  a  oes    not   know   how   to  care   for  and 

manage  a  horse;  that  he  does  not  know  how  to  handle 
ms,  or  that  he  lacks  nerve,  for  there  is  no 
clasS  of  men  who  can  teach  the  cowboy  anything 
one  or  the  other.  Experience  has  taught 
us  that  it  takes  a  certain  amount  of  drill  and  dis- 
cipline to  make  what  an  army  officer  would  call  a  good 
d  it  is  on  the  matter  of  discipline  that  the 
plainsmen  would  buck  the  hardest.  In  the  first  place, 
boy  would  not  stand  for  the  airs  put  on  by  the 
snavetJ  nts  fresh  from  the  military  academy 

at  West  Point,  nor  would  he  submit  to  a  form  and 
spirit  of  domination  and  discipline  on  the  part  of  his 
so-,  tiled  superiors  which  is  not  found  in  any  other 
sphere  of  life  or  service..  No  matter  what  his  char- 
acter or  attainments  may  be,  the  private  soldier  gets 
no  social  recognition  among  h:s  superiors,  and  none 
know  this  belter  than  the  plainsmen.  Under  the  con- 
ditions now  prevailing,  especially  in  the  regular  army, 
it  is  absolutely  inconceivable  how  any  American 
citizen  possessed  of  character,  self-respect,  indepen- 
dent spirit,  and  a  fair  degree  of  ambition,  could  wish 
to  enter  the  service,  when  he  could  hire  out  to  a  cat- 
tleman and  punch  cattle  or  break  horses  for  thrice  the 
pav  offered  a  soldier  by  the  Government.  Should  the 
cowboy  become  dissatisfied  with  the  work  on  a  cer- 
tain ranch,  he  !s  at  liberty  to  pack  up  his  things  and 
quit  on  half  an  hour's  notice.  If  he  did  this  while 
in  the  army,  and  was  apprehended  and  brought  bae*. 
as  a  deserter,  he  would  be  court-martialed  and  sen- 
tenced to  serve  several  years  in  one  of  Uncle  Sam's 
military   prisons 

When  it  comes  to  a  comparison  between  the  cow- 
boy and  the  soldier  for  actual  fighting  and  hard  serv- 
ice, matched  against  either  Indians  or  the  well-drilled 
troops  of  any  nation,  the  American  cowboy  can  hold 
his  own  with  any  of  them — "and  then  some."  They 
may  not  stand  at  attention  and  salute  their  leaders. 
as  soldiers  are  reqjired  to  do;  "they  may  enter  the 
conflict  with  shirts  open  at  the  neck  and  sleeves  rolled 
up,  and  they  may  maintain  little,  if  any,  formation 
when  charging  the  enemy,  but  results  are  what  count 
in  a  battle,  and  that  is  where  the  cowboy  would  shine 
the  brightest.  If  allowed  to  select  their  own  mounts 
and  firearms,  a  band  of  250  cowboys  would  test  the 
bravery  of  a  regiment  of  trained  soldiers,  but  they 
certainly  would  not  enlist  in  the  army  unless  they 
were  offered  a  decent  rale  of  pay  and  the  assurance  of 
such  treatment  as  self-respecting,  honorable,  and 
faithful  men  are  entitled  to  receive.  Snobbishness 
on  the  part  of  superiors,  petty  and  needless  restric- 
tions and  regulations,  offensive  and  irritating  exhibi- 
tions of  authority  would  not  be  endured  by  this  class 
of  men. 

While  Uncle  Sam  provides  his  troopers  with  a 
complete  outfit,  including  horses,  clothing,  arms,  am- 
munition, camp  equipage  and  saddle  equipments  of 
all  kinds,  when  they  join  the  regiment  to  which  they 
have  been  assigned,  a  cowboy  is  expected  to  furnish 
everything  but  the  horses  he  is  to  use  in  his  work. 
The  broncho  rider  is  naturally  proud  of  his  outfit, 
for  the  reason  that  it  indicates,  in  a  great  measure, 
his  standing  among  his  associates.  First  of  all  he 
needs  a  saddle,  which  will  cost  from  $40  to  $75,  ac- 
cording to  the  amount  of  fancy  work  on  it.     It  is  not 


outfit.  A  piece  of  canvas  for  this  purpose  can  be 
bought  for  $4  or  $5,  and  will  last  for  years. 

A  good  bridle  with  a  "spade"  or  "half  breed"  bit, 
wiH  cost  all  the  way  from  $10  to  $25.  The  "ring"  or 
"snaffle"  bits  so  common  in  the  East,  are  not  used 
by  the  plainsmen,  being  of  no  value  to  them  in 
handling  unmanageable  horses.  An  ordinary  pair  of 
spurs  can  be  purchased  for  $2.50,  though  it  frequently 
happens  that  $10  to  $15  is  paid  for  a  pair  by  a  ten- 
derfoot desiring  to  attract  attention.  Unless  he  pos- 
sessed a  lariat,  a  cowboy  would  be  like  a  barn  with- 
out a  door.  A  forty-foot  riata,  made  of  the  best 
rawhide,  costs  from  $S  to  $12,  while  a  cheaper  kind, 
made  of  woven  linen,  can  be  had  for  $3.50  or  $4. 

A  hackamore,  or  halter,  costs  from  $3  to  $7,  and  la 
always  used  when  breaking  horses.  When  a  cowboy 
is  told  to  take  a  horse  from  one  ranch  or  camp  to 
another,  he  usually  throws  the  lariat  over  the  ani- 
mal's neck  and  starts  on  his  journey,  confident  that 
he  will  have  a  live  horse  on  the  end  of  the  rope  when 
he  reaches  his  destination.

Nearly  all  cowboys,   whether  on  duty  at  the  home

it    the   size  of  a   bed-sheet,   which    they   use

the  bedding,  forming  a  sorl  of  sleeping  bag,  to  keep 
out  the  rain  or  heavy  dew.  When  ready  to  break 
camp,  the  cowboy  rolls  his  blankets  [n  the  canvas, 
the  roll  securely  with  a  couple  of  straps  and 
the  bundle  into  the  wagon  accompanying  the 


duck  canvas.  The  rooms  are  all  on  the  ground  floor, 
the  number  depending  upon  the  men  to  be  accommo- 
dated, with  a  couple  of  spare  rooms  for  emergencies. 
As  the  ranch  is  invariably  a  long  distance  from  a  set- 
tlement, the  mail  is  usually  sent  for  once  a  week. 
While  the  cowboy's  correspondence  is  not  large,  an 
eastern  man  would  be  surprised  at  the  number  oi 
magazines  and  newspapers  received  at  the  ranches, 
which  enables  the  men  to  keep  thoroughly  posted 
on  the  events  of  the  day.  Some  of  the  reading  matter 
is  sent  by  friends,  but  much  of  it  is  forwarded  by  the 
cattlemen,  who  usually  make  their  headquarters  in 
towns  like  Buffalo,  Casper,  Laramie  City  or  Chey- 
enne, which  enables  them  to  keep  in  closer  touch  with 
the  outside  world  and  order  shipments  of  cattle  when 
the  market  price  reaches  a  tempting  figure 

During  the  winter  months  only  one  or  two  horses 
are  kept  up  for  each  man  remaining  on  the  ranch,  the 
others  being  turned  out  to  "tramp"  for  a  living  until 
spring.  The  men  selected  to  remain  on  the  ranch  over 
winter  are,  as  a  rule,  those  who  have  worked  for  the 
owner  for  years  and  who  are  known  to  be  reliable  and 
trustworthy.      They    are    required    to    look    after    the 


COWBOYS    MEETING    OLD    INDIAN     FRIENDS     ON    THE     STREETS    OF    CHEYENNE 


ets,  if  made  of  black  Angora  and  fur  trimmed,  will 
take  the  best  part  of  a  ten-dollar  bill.  These  pockets 
are  almost  indispensible,  for  it  is  in  these  that  the 
cowboy  carries  many  useful  articles,  among  which 
may  be  found  a  comb,  tooth  brush,  a  deck  of  cards, 
tobacco  and  cigarette  papers,  a  few  love  letters,  a 
novel  or  two,  and  occasionally  a  flask  containing  a  few 
doses  of  "snake  poison." 

A  pair  of  oil  tanned  California  calfskin  chaparajos, 
or  'chaps,"  which  serve  a  good  purpose  in  cold  and 
disagreeable  weather,  can  be  purchased  for  $12.50, 
but  if  made  of  Angora  goat,  the  amount  mentioned 
should   be  doubled. 

No  cowboy  ever  thinks  of  wearing  shoes  or  the  reg- 
ulation army  leggins.  Boots,  costing  from  $7  to  $10 
per  pair,  are  always  worn,  and  are  often  found  on 
the  cowboy  while  asleep.  The  cowboy  who  would 
wear  a  pair  of  Arctic  overshoes,  even  though  the 
weather  be  cold  and  the  snow  deep,  would  be  tossed  in 
a  blanket  and  drummed  out  of  camp.  No  matter  how 
cold  the  weather  may  get,  the  cowboy  scorns  the 
use  of  an  overcoat.  A  heavy  short  coat  is  pre- 
ferred, and  a  "slicker,"  used  to  keep  out  the  cold  in 
winter  and  the  rain  during  the  summer,  is  always 
strapped   to   the   saddle. 

A  curry-comb  is  something  a  cowboy  has  little  or 
no  use  for,  hence  it -would  be  a  waste  of  money,  as 
well  as  a  disappointment  to  the  man,  should  he  dis- 
cover one  in  the  "Christmas  box"  packed  and  for- 
warded to  him  by  admiring  friends  in  the  East. 

A  pair  of  nippers,  a  hammer  and  a  few  staples 
should  always  be  carried  in  the  saddle  pockets  Ten 
or  fifteen  years  ago,  when  the  ranges  were  open  and 
a  fence  could  not  be  found  in  a  day's  travel,  these 
articles  were  not  included  in  the  cowboys'  outfit,  but 
now,  with  nearly  every  quarter  section  of  land  fenced 
with  barbed  wire,  the  plainsman  must  either  cut  his 
way  through  or  ride  many  miles  out  of  his  line  of 
travel. 

When  a  cattleman  hires  a  cowboy,  it  goes  without 
saying  that  he  is  to  feed  him,  and  it  is  perhaps  un- 
necessary to  mention  the  fact  that  the  cook  gets  the 
choicest  parts  which  the  range  affords  when  fresh 
meat  is  desired.  Supplies  are  kept  in  large  quanti- 
ties at  what  is  termed  the  "home  ranch,"  over  which 
presides  a  first-class  cook  whose  salary  ranges  from 
$40  to  $50  per  month.  For  breakfast  he  usually 
serves  hot  biscuit,  flapjacks,  bacon,  or  ham  and  eggs, 
fried  potatoes  and  coffee.  Dinner  consists  of  either 
fresh  meat  for  pork,  potatoes,  canned  tomatoes  and 
corn,  dried  apples  or  peaches,  pie  and  coffee.  Sup- 
per is  usually  served  about  sunset,  and  consists  of  a 
stew  of  some  kind,  coffee,  and  either  stewed  prunes, 
apples  or  peaches.  Eggs,  butter  and  vegetables  are 
found  in  abundance  at  the  home  ranch,  and  a  meal 
fit  for  a  king  often  graces  a  table  around  which  is 
gathered  men  who  are  ever  ready  to  befriend  the 
needy  and  protect  the  weak. 

The  home  ranch  is  uaually  constructed  of  hewn 
logs,    the    rooms    being    large    and    lined    with    heavy 


stock;  to  haul  hay  to  both  horses  and  cattle  after  a 
heavy  snow  storm;  bring  in  the  young  calves  and 
care  for  them  at  the  ranch  during  extreme  cold 
weather;  secure  a  supply  of  wood  sufficient  to  last 
over  the  winter,  and  "ride  the  fence"  two  or  three 
times  a  week,  repairing  it  where  broken  and  setting 
new  posts   where  required. 

Situated  fifty,  sixty  or  one  hundred  miles  from  the 
nearest  settlement,  it  occasionally  becomes  necessary 
for  one  of  the  men  to  ride  that  distance  for  a  doctor, 
to  attend  a  sick  comrade  or  one  who  has  met  with 
an  accident.  Upon  occasions  of  this  kind  every  man 
is  a  volunteer,  and  though  he  may  have  to  ride  all 
night  through  rain,  sleet  or  snow,  following  no  road, 
carrying  no  compass,  crossing  streams  and  jumping 
ditches,  with  nothing  to  guide  him  save  the  stars  or 
flashes  of  lightning,  he  never  hesitates  a  second  when 
he  realizes  that  a  human  life  is  at  stake. 

As  the  wages  paid  a  "top"  hand  ranges  from  $30  to 


A    COWBOY    AND    HIS    MOUNT 

$40  per  month,  the  reader  may  wonder  how  a  cowboy 
can  provide  such  an  expensive  outfit  on  such  a  small 
salary.  A  great  many  of  the  men  draw  no  money 
for  months  at  a  time,  for  the  reason  that  it  would 
not  benefit  them  if  they  did.  The  result  is  that  from 
four  to  six  months'  salary  is  often  obtained  in  a  lump 
and  is  usually  spent  with  a  free  hand. 

The  prevailing  idea  that  a  cowboy  wears  long  hair 
and  a  buckskin  suit,  and  that  he  sleeps  with  a  six- 
shooter  in  each  hand,  is  far  from  correct.  The  cow- 
boy one  meets  on  the  plains  wears  a  broad-brimmed 
hat,  a  blue  flannel  shirt,  a  short,  heavily-lined  coat, 
with  trousers  stuck  in  his  boots,  and  he  usually  selects 
the  best  that  money  can  buy.  To  offer  him  an  um- 
brella, even  in  the  worst  weather,  would  be  like 
flaunting  a  red  rag  before  a  mad  bull.

and  dime  museums,  and  often  pictured  in  the  illus- 
trated papers  back  East,  are  known  upon  the  cattle 
ranges  as  "drags."  They  are  hired  during  the  spring 
round-up  and  while  the  shipping  season  is  on,  tor 
the  purpose  of  herding  the  stock  and  caring  for  the 
cattle  while  in  the  cars.  "While  the  "top  hands"  are 
selecting  the  cattle  to  be  driven  to  a  shipping  point, 
cutting  out  an  animal  here  and  there,  the  "drags" 
prevent  the  breaking  up  and  consequent  scattering  of 
the  herd.  In  addition  to  this  work  they  are  detailed 
to  guard  the  herd  at  night,  and  after  three  or  four 
months'  labor  of  this  kind  their  services  are  no  longer 
required.  The  moment  they  receive  their  pay  checks 
they  strike  out  for  the  nearest  town,  where  they  re- 
main as  long  as  their  money  lasts,  indulging  in  dissi- 
pation and  having  a  good  time.  Occasionally  one  will 
wander  back  East  and  be  picked  up  by  some  enter- 
prising dime  museum  manager,  but  as  a  rule  they  loaf 
around  the  frontier  towns  and  wait  for  the  next  year's 
work  to  begin,  accepting  odd  jobs  for  a  small  amount 
over  their  board. 

A  six-shooter  is  a  necessary  companion  for  any 
man  who  is  around  cattle,  no  matter  what  his  duties 
may  be,  for  it  very  often  happens  that  a  cowboy  is 
obliged  to  shoot  a  steer  in  order  to  save  himself. 
When  an  attempt  is  being  made  to  cut  a  steer  out 
of  a  bunch,  it  will  at  times  become  wild  with  rage 
and  attack  both  horse  and  rider.  Wolves  and  coyotes 
frequently  raid  the  herds  and  kill  the  calves  unless 
the  cattle  are  carefully  guarded,  and  in  riding  across 
the  prairie  during  the  winter  when  the  ground  is 
covered  with  a  foot  of  snow  on  the  level,  a  cow-pony 
will  often  stumble  into  a  badger  or  prairie  dog  hole 
and  break  its  leg.  In  a  case  of  this  kind  the  animal 
is  shot,  the  cowboy  being  obliged  to  pack  his  saddle 
until  he  can  reach  the  nearest  ranch  and  secure  a 
fresh   mount. 

The  heavy  work  on  the  ranges  commences  about 
the  first  of  May,  for  about  that  time  the  grass  is  good 
and  the  cowboys  begin  to  gather  up  the  horses  that 
were  turned  out  to  "tramp"  during  the  winter.  As 
the  cowboys  who  winter  at  the  ranches  have  the  pick 
of  the  horses,  they  are  as  a  result  the  best  mounted. 
Each  man  has  what  is  styled  a  "string"  of  horses, 
numbering  from  eight  to  ten,  which  he  alone  rides 
during  the  summer.  The  remaining  horses  are  known 
as  the  "benches,"  and  are  turned  over  to  the  "drags" 
to  ride.  As  these  horses  are  practically  worthless  for 
other  work  than  herding,  the  "drag"  stands  in  little 
danger  of  being  bucked  off  every  time  a  saddle  is 
placed  on  the  animal's  back.. 

On  the  round-up  it  is  an  easy  matter  for  the  fore- 
man to  distinguish  the  branded  cattle  from  the  mav- 
ericks, but  the  work  of  cutting  out  certain  brands 
and  branding  the  calves  is  no  easy  task  for  one  who 
has  not  had  experience  in  that  line  of  work.  The 
cows  and  the  calves  are  run  off  into  a  bunch  by  them- 
selves, while  the  beef  cattle  are  separated  from  them. 
Though  it  may  not  appear  so,  the  branding  of  a  calf 
is  a  simple  matter  when  done  by  an  expert.  Three 
or  four  cowboys  who  are  clever  with  the  lasso  rope 
and  drag  them  to  the  fire,  where  the  foreman  puts 
whatever  brand  is  necessary  upon  either  the  hip,  side 
or  shoulder,  after  which  the  calves  are  released  and 
skip  back  to  their  mothers  none  the  worse  for  the 
rough   handling. 

With  each  round-up  outfit  are  two  wagons.  In  one 
the  cook  carries  the  grub  necessary  to  provide  the 
men  with  good,  wholesome  food,  and  over  this  wagon 
he  is  absolute  monarch.  The  other  contains  the  bed- 
ding and  various  necessities  belonging  to  such  a  trip. 
If  the  round-up  party  belongs  to  a  large  company, 
additional  wagons  are  provided. 

As  soon  as  spring  opens  up  the  horses  become 
frisky  and  are  as  playful  as  kittens  There  are  some 
who  do  not  fancy  their  playfulness,  which  usually 
consists  of  using  all  their  strength  and  tricks  to 
throw  the  rider.  It  is  not  every  man  who  can  remain 
in  the  saddle  when  a  mean  horse.,  or  an  "outlaw" 
is  doing  all  that  lies  within  him  to  unseat  the  rider, 
and  it  is  a  common  occurrence  to  see  half  a  dozen 
horses  going  one  way  with  empty  saddles,  while  a 
like  number  of  tenderfeet  take  the  opposite  direction. 
The  gathering  together  and  shipment  of  the  beef 
cattle  requires  skill,  patience  and  experience.  If  the 
grass  along  the  road  is  good,  from  ten  to  fifteen  miles 
per  day  is  made.  Great  care  and  good  judgment  is 
necessary  in  the  drive,  for  a  shrinkage  of  several 
hundred  dollars  in  their  market  value  will  occur  on 
the  drive  if  the  cattle  are  not  handled  properly.  While 
one  outfit  is  making  the  drive  to  the  railroad,  another 
is  at  work  on  the  home  ranch,  preparing  a  second 
bunch,  so  that  when  the  first  outfit  returns  another 
is  ready  for  them.  These  shipments  continue  until 
the  howling  winds  and  blinding  snow  storms  force 
a  cessation  of  the  work.  Then  back  to  the  home 
ranch  the  cowboys  go,  where  they  grease  the  backs 
of  the  horses  where  a  sore  is  found,  turn  them  loose 
for  the  winter,  settle  up  accounts  and  start  for  the 
nearest  town  for  a  jollification  and  general  good  time. 
Those  who  are  to  remain  on  the  ranch  usually  return 
in  a  week  or  two,  while  the  others  scatter  in  all 
directions  and  seek  employment  for  the  winter. 

The  moment  a  band  of  cowboys  enter  a  town  they 
are  immediately  sized  up  by  the  city  marshal  and 
his  deputies.  So  long  as  they  conduct  themselves 
properly,  they  are  permitted  to  retain  their  revolvers, 
but  when  they  undertake  to  create  a  rouch  house, 
such  as  riding  their  horses  into  saloons,  shooting 
bottles  off  the  bar,  or  taking  a  few  shots  at  an  Eastern 
man  because  he  wears  a  silk  hat,  the  city  marshal 
appears  and  puts  an  end  to  the  fun.  Occasionally  the 
cowboys  defy  the  officers,  but  in  nine  cases  out  of 
ten  the  former  get  the  worst  of  it. 

In  the  early  days,  when  the  cowboys  and  the  cat- 
tlemen made  Cheyenne  their  headquarters,  they  had 
many  exciting  encounters  with  Jeff  Carr  and  his  little 
band  of  rangers.  Carr  was  the  city  marshal,  and  his 
deputies  were  as  brave  as  they  were  fearless.  The 
marshal— a    six-footer,    well    built,    broad    shouldered 


and  as  strong  as  an  ox — feared  no  man  or  body  of 
men.  Upon  one  occasion  a  band  of  cowboys  were 
camped  near  Cheyenne,  holding  a  big  herd  of  cattle. 
Nearly  every  man  in  the  outfit,  from  the  foreman 
to  the  cook,  had  at  some  time  been  behind  the  bars 
of  the  Cheyenne  jail.  One  morning  the  foreman  sent 
the  marshal  a  note,  stating  that  he  and  his  cowboys 
would  visit  Cheyenne  the  next  morning,  to  have  a 
little  fun,  and  that  if  the  rangers  were  looking  for 
trouble  they  could  easily  find  it.  Jeff  Carr's  answer, 
penned  in  a  bold  hand  on  a  sheet  of  official  paper, 
was  that  the  men  would  not  be  molested  so  long 
as  they  behaved  themselves,  but  that  the  whole  outfit 
would  be  corraled  if  they  attempted  to  "shoot  up" 
the  town.  The  cowboys  regarded  this  as  a  challenge, 
and  appeared  in  Cheyenne  the  next  morning,  twenty 
strong,  each  armed  with  a  six-shooter  and  with  belts 
filled  with  ammunition.  As  they  rode  down  one  of 
the  main  streets  they  noticed  a  number  of  horses  tied 
to  the  hitching  posts  in  front  of  the  city  jail,  where 
two  of  their  men  were  then  confined.  No  attempt 
was  made  by  the  officers  to  stop  pr  disarm  the  cow- 
boys, who  rode  defiantly  along  Eddy  street  and 
stopped  in  front  of  "Red  Mike's"  saloon.  Here  they 
dismounted,  entered  the  saloon  and  ordered  the  bar- 
keeper to  set  up  the  drinks  for  the  crowd.  This  was 
done,  not  once  but  three  or  four  times,  when  the 
proprietor  called  upon  the  leader  for  a  settlement. 
This  demand  started  the  fun.  No  one  was  ever  found 
who  could  or  would  tell  who  fired  the  first  shot,  but 
a  good  deal  of  shooting  was  done,  not  a  bottle  being 
left  on  or  behind  the  counter. 

After  cleaning  out  the  place  the  cowboys  helped 
themselves  to  cigars,  mounted  their  ponies  and  started 
for  the  city  jail,  to  liberate  their  two  comrades  who 
had  been  arrested  the  day  before.  Looking  up  Eddy 
street  the  leader  made  out  the  big  form  of  Jeff  Carr 
riding  down  the  street  on  a  gallop,  a  dozen  deputies 
following  him.  The  cowboys  quickly  formed  in  line 
across  the  street  and  prepared  to  resist  any  attempt 


JEFF     CARR 
Cheyenne's  Fearless  Marshal 

to  arrest  them.  For  five  minutes  a  pitched  battle 
raged,  no  clubs  or  blank  ammunition  being  used  on 
either  side.  When  the  leader  saw  half  of  his  men 
placed  hors  de  combat,  he  waved  his  hat  and  dashed 
up  Sixteenth  street,  followed  by  six  or  eight  of  his 
comrades.  Close  behind  them  was  Jeff  Carr  and  his 
band  of  fearless  deputies.  One  of  the  rangers  shouted 
to  a  cowboy  well  in  the  rear,  warning  him  to  halt, 
but  no  attention  was  paid  to  the  command.  Up  went 
the  ranger's  Winchester,  and  down  went  horse  and 
rider.  Once,  when  the  leader  turned  in  the  saddle  to 
see  how  his  men  were  faring,  he  looked  into  the 
muzzle  of  Carr's  big  revolver. 

"Stop  that  horse!"  was  the  stern  command. 

Before  the  leader  could  check  the  speed  of  his  horse 
a  lasso  shot  through  the  air,  and  in  less  time  than 
it  takes  to  tell  it  the  rider  was  dragged  from  the 
animal's  back,  pounced  upon  by  a  couple  of  rangers 
and  tied  hand  and  foot.  A  few  well-directed  shots 
crippled  the  horses  of  the  remaining  cowboys,  who 
were  now  sober  enough  to  realize  that  resistance  was 
useless.  Ten  minutes  later  the  entire  party,  many 
of  whom  were  badly  wounded,  were  herded  together 
and  escorted  to  the  city  jail.  Several  of  the  cowboys 
were  sent  to  the  hospital  under  guard,  to  have  their 
wounds  dressed  and  stitches  taken  in  their  scalps, 
the  remainder  being  handcuffed  and  placed  behind 
the  bars.  As  usual,  the  owner  of  the  cattle  came  to 
the  rescue  of  his  men  the  next  morning,  when  fines' 
were  paid  and  fresh  mounts  secured  for  those  who  had 
their  horses  shot  from  under  them,  Jeff  Carr  and  his 
rangers  escorting  the  cowboys  to  the  city  limits  be- 
fore returning  their  firearms. 

The  above  is  only  one  of  many  such  incidents  which 
happened  when  Cheyenne  was  a  "wild  town,"  as  well 
as  other  frontier  towns  in  the  early  days,  and  it  is 
safe  to  say  that  there  is  not  a  cowboy  from  Montana 
to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  who  has  not  met  or  heard  of 
the  most  fearless  officer  the  West  has  ever  produced — 
T.  Jeff  Carr.  Mr.  Carr  still  makes  his  headquarters 
in  Cheyenne,  where  he  has  charge  of  the  train  guards 
who  ride  back  and  forth  on  the  overland  trains  run- 
ning between  Cheyenne  and  Ogden. 

Every  year  the  cowboys  arrange  a  carnival  at  some 
frontier  town,  and  it  is  at  these  gatherings  that  the 
best   riders   the  world   can   produce  are   to   be   found. 


The  fun  usually  lasts  four  or  five  days,  during  which 
time  the  cowboys  ride  the  worst  "outlaws"  to  be 
found;  they  give  exhibitions  of  skill  in  roping  and 
tying  wild  steers;  have  a  series  of  maverick  brand- 
ing contests;  rope  and  ride  wild  mustangs;  plan  at- 
tacks on  the  stage  coach  by  Indians,  and  show  their 
Eastern  friends  how  a  round-up  party  goes  into  and 
breaks  camp.  Arrangements  are  always  made  to  have 
a  band  of  Indians  from  the  reservations  present,  and 
their  war  dances  and  pony  races  attract  large  crowds. 
During  the  carnival  the  cowgirls  have  their  fun,  run- 
ning races,  riding  bucking  bronchos  and  going  through 
the  Virginia  reel  on  horseback,  a  grand  ball  being 
given    each   evening. 

Notwithstanding  all  that  has  been  written  regard- 
ing the  cowboys  and  the  scrapes  they  get  into  at 
times,  they  are.  by  long  odds,  the  most  generous  and 
kind-hearted  lot  of  fellows  one  can  find  in  any  part 
of  the  civilized  world.  A  traveler  is  always  given 
a  hearty  welcome  at  the  ranches,  and  no  party  has 
ever  stopped  at  one  for  a  day  or  a  week  without  get- 
ting good  beds,  plenty  of  good,  substantial  food,  with 
feed  and  shelter  for  their  animals,  and  rarely  will  a 
ranchman  accept  money  when  the  stranger  is  ready 
to  depart.  If  one  should  happen  to  find  the  door  of 
the  cabin  closed,  the  latchstring  is  always  on  the 
outside,  and  no  stranger  is  ever  turned  away.  Such 
is  Western  hospitality,  the  broncho  riders  of  the 
plains  the  host! 


SUPERIOR  EXCELLENCE  OF  THE  TROTTER. 


The  sustained  popularity  of  the  horse  shown  is 
cause  for  gratification,  though  it  is  not  in  the  least 
surprising.  A  few  years  ago  there  was  much  talk, 
originated  by  bicycle  enthusiasts  and  developed  to 
fullness  by  devotees  of  motor  vehicles,  about  a  "horse- 
less age,"  when  the  domestic  equine  race  should  be- 
come all  but  extinct.  It  was  foolish  and  visionary,  of 
course,  though  it  did  find  some  credulous  listeners; 
and  time  has  effectually  disclosed  its  vanity.  Despite 
its  mechanical  competitors,  the  horse  is  steadily  grow- 
ing in  favor  and  in  interest,  and  also  in  use;  and  it 
will  doubtless  continue  to  do  so.  It  has  many  uses, 
both  for  business  and  for  pleasure,  which  it  is  not 
to  be  expected  any  mechanical  device  can  ever  satis- 
factorily discharge,  just  as  with  all  our  development 
of  "labor  saving"  machinery  hand  labor  is  still  and 
doubtless  will  always  be  necessary. 

While  the  success  of  the  horse  show,  year  after 
year,  is  agreeable  to  contemplate,  however,  it  would 
be  much  more  pleasing  if  more  attention  were  paid 
there  to  the  pre-eminent  American  type  of  horse.  We 
mean,  of  course,  the  trotter.  In  all  the  history  of 
man's  improvement  of  the  lower  order  of  animated 
life  there  is  probably  no  chapter  more  noteworthy 
or  more  creditable  or  that  signifies  more  for  the  prac- 
tical advantage  of  mankind  than  that  which  tells  of 
the  development  of  the  American  trotting  horse.  It 
would  probably  be  judicious  to  consider  that  animal 
the  most  truly  valuable  of  all  equine  types.  There 
are  others  of  great  worth  and  of  engaging  character- 
istics. The  "thoroughbred"  has  a  longer  and  more 
picturesque  history  and  is  of  much  value.  But  for 
"all-around"  service,  for  business  use  and  for  pleas- 
ure driving,  for  work  and  for  play,  it  is  outranked 
by  the  trotter.  It  is  true  that  in  the  changed  status 
of  the  horse  which  is  being  brought  about  by  the  in- 
vention and  introduction  of  motor  vehicles  the  trotter 
will  have  to  meet  a  stronger  competition  than  the 
runner-  Nevertheless,  the  time  will  not  come  in  this 
generation  or  the  next  when  this  typical  American 
horse  will  be  conspicuously  less  useful  than  now. 

Into  the  vexed  questions  of  the  origin  of  the  trotter 
and  his  influence  upon  other  strains  we  shall  not 
enter.  That  way  madness  lies.  The  advocates  and 
adversaries  of  Hambletonians,  Morgans,  Stars,  Clays, 
Messengers,  Abdallahs  and  what  not  may  wage  their 
wordy  wars  at  will.  Also  it  may  be  said  that  our 
trotting  stock  enters  or  does  not  enter  into  the  numer- 
ous other  strains  which  are  so  popular.  All  these 
questions  are  aside  from  the  real  one.  The  point  is 
that  the  American  trotter,  not  as  the  part  progenitor 
of  ponies  or  hackneys  or  any  such  thing,  but  as  a 
trotter  pure  and  simple,  is  the  most  uuseful  and  the 
most  valuable  of  all  horses,  and  is  second  to  none  in 
beauty  of  form  and  action  and  in  practically  all  the 
elements  of  attraction.  Moreover,  it  is  the  one  type 
of  horse  that  is  distinctively  American  in  origin  and 
development.  Whether  trotting  races  will  ever,  at  least 
in  and  around  New  York,  outrank  running  races  in 
popular  and  "sporting"  favor  may  be  questioned.  At 
least  those  who  are  not  merely  using  racehorses  as 
money  making  machines,  but  who  take  the  amateur's 
true  interest  in  the  culture  of  the  noblest  of  all  ani- 
mals, would  do  well  to  give  to  the  typical  American 
horse  the  rank  which  he  so  abundantly  deserves. —

TOOMEY     TWO-WHEELERS — THE     MOST     POPULAR 
BACING  AND  TBAINTNG  VEHICLES. 


For  years  the  Toomey  Two-Wheelers  have  headed  the 
list  as  the  most  popular  and  up-to-date  racing  and  train- 
ing vehicles  on  the  market.  The  1905  records  show  that 
again  the  Toomev  is  the  Leader,  having  been  used  by  the 
large  majority  of  the  best  horses  and  the  largest  money 
winners  on   the   turf. 

The  firm  of  S.  Toomey  &  Co.,  Canal  Dover,  Ohio,  are 
the  pioneer  sulky  builders  of  the  world  and  by  their 
keeping  in  constant  touch  with  the  needs  and  require- 
ments of  both  horse  and  driver,  have  been  sun-essf nl  in 
producing  sulkies  and  carts  that  are  unequalled  by  any 
on   the  market. 

Their  sulkies  and  carts  for  next  season  will  embody 
some  verv  valuable  improvements.  Horsemen  who  want 
the  best  that  money  and  expert  labor  can  produce  can- 
not gn  amiss  in  buving  the  Toomey.  Before  makinpr  up

the  Commodore  secured  the  services  of  Garrett  Wil- 

to    take    charge   of   his   farm   and    sent    with 

him   to  Ohio  the  following  named  horses: 

TRUSTEE,  imported  ch.  h  ,  foaled  1S29  and  ran

and  defeated  Margrave  (St.  Leger  winner  of  that 
year)  for  the  Claret  Stakes  of  1S33.  He  also  was  a 
full  brother  to  the  Derby  winner  of  1S35,  the  coarse 
and  powerful  Mundig;  and  a  half-brother  to  Cother- 
stone.  who  won  the  Derby  of  1S43,  as  well  as  to

PERSIMMON 
From  Capt.  Merry's  Book,    "The  American  Thoroughbred" 


is  a  pedigree  hot  enough  to  cook  ham  and  eggs,  but 
"the  frozen  truth"  is  that  the  horse's  name  was  really 
not  Belmont  hut  Belle  Mount.  In  1842  Garrett  "Wil- 
liamson severed  his  connection  with  the  Commodore 
and  bought  a  farm  in  Springdale,  Hamilton  county, 
about  ten  miles  from  Cincinnati,  where  he  established 
what  he  called  the  "Belle  Mount"  Stud.  There  Amer- 
ican Boy  stood  at  540  the  season  (a  pretty  big  fee 
in  those  days,  by  the  way).  Grey  Medoc  at  $50  and 
Cadmus  (son  of  American  Eclipse)  at  $25.  Trustee 
had  been  sent  to  Kentucky  and  Mercer  was  dead 
Fashion  was  really  the  only  good  performer  that 
Trustee  ever  got  in  the  north.  Revenue,  Reube,  John 
Black  and  D'Jalma  were  Southern  productions. 

One  of  the  Commodore's  mares  above  named  was 
an  English  mare  which  he  called  Prunella,  after  her 
distinguished  ancestress  by  Highflyer,  which  I  deem 
the  greatest  mare  in  the  English  Stud  Bood  because 
every  great  performer  of  the  present  day  has  from 
twenty-five  to  thirty  crosses  of  her  and  from  twenty 
to  twenty-five  of  Penelope,  her  best  daughter.  The 
relationship  between  Belmont  in  America  and  Whale- 
bone, "Whisker,  "Woful,  Glencoe,  Bay  Middleton  and 
Lord  Lyon  in  England,  will  be  seen  by  the  annexed

i        the   above    table   it   will   be   seen    that   Belmont 
was    strongly    inbred    to    Trumpator,    the   horse    that 


saved  the  male  line  of  Matchem  (foaled  in  174S)  from 
total  extinction.  This  line  generally  carries  a  great 
deal  of  bone  and  substance,  but  very  little  quality. 
Belmont,  on  the  other  hand,  was  full  of  quality  and 
rather  light  of  bone,  cutting  off  considerably  at  the 
knee.  After  his  death  I  examined  his  nigh  forward 
cannon  bone,  which  I  found". to  be  as  blue  as  slate 
and  hard  as  steel.  It  is  easy  to  account  for  his 
quality,  for  his  grandam  was  by  Partisan,  by  long 
odds  the  handsomest  horse  of  his  day:  and  his  sire 
was  inbred  to  Expedition,  an  exceptionally  handsome 
horse.  No  one  would  have  supposed,  to  look  at  him, 
that  he  had  a  cross  of  Sorcerer  within  ten  genera- 
tions. 

Henry  Williamson  was  a  typical  pioneer  on  whom 
the  mantle  of  Daniel  Boone  had  fallen.  He  stood 
about  six  feet,  four  inches  in  height  and  was  a  promi- 
nent mover  in  the  emigration  of  1S43  to  the  new  land 
of  Oregon.  He  was  a  man  of  sterling  integrity  and 
believed  that  a  stain  on  a  man's  honor  was  worse 
than  a  wound  in  his  heart  He  was  a  man  of  devoted 
and  sincere  friendships,  as  witness  the  fact  that  he 
broke  his  journey  at  Brown's  Hole  on  Green  River 
(in  what  is  now  Wyoming)  to  nurse  and  care  for 
his  companion,  Joseph  S.  Smith,  and  did  not  arrive 
in  Oregon  until  September,  1S44.  How  did  the  pious 
ingrate  repay  that  goodly  office?  He  died  in  18SS, 
leaving  a  fortune  of  over  §600,000,  not  one  dollar  of 
which  went  to  the  man  who  not  only  nursed  him  for 
an  entire  year  in  a  desolate  region  beset  with  hostile 
savages,  but  also  twice  loaned  him  money  to  live  on, 
after  their  arrival  in  Oregon,  until  he  could  obtain 
employment  on  the  building  of  the  first  vessel  ever 
built  in  that  State.  Smith  told  me  that  himself.  I 
am  aware  of  an  old  Roman  motto:  "De  mortuis  nil 
nisi  bonum,"  but  I  believe  the  author  of  that  maxim 
w^as   a   premature   life  insurance   president. 

Henry  Williamson  remained  in  Oregon  until  1S49, 
He  took  up  a  quarter  section  of  laid  in  Benton  county, 
and  his  friend,  Frank  Depoistre,  who  came  across 
the  plains  with  him,  took  up  an  adjoining  quarter, 
in  what  is  now  the  north  end  of  the  beautiful  little 
city  of  Corvallis.  Now  contrast  Frank's  case  with 
that  of  Congressman  Smith.  When  Henry  William- 
son (through  no  fault  of  his  own,  either)  was  forced 
into  bankruptcy,  in  1855,  Frank  Depoistre  sold  his 
land  for  §1-00  and  came  down  on  horseback  to  Mon- 
roeville,  to  serve  his  old  friend,  only  to  learn  that 
it  would  not  pay  one-twentieth  of  the  debts  for  which 
Monroe  &  Williamson  had  been  attached.  Frank  did 
all  he  could  and  a  hero  could  have  done  no  more. 
He  died  about  four  years  ago,  a  poor  man  in  this 
world's  goods,  but  a  rich  one  in  the  esteem  of  all 
who  prize  true  manhood  and  unselfish  friendship. 

Henry  worked  in  the  mines  until  1852.  when  he 
came  down  to  Marysville  with  about  §22.000.  He 
met  a  man  there  named  Uzal  P.  Monroe,  who  came 
here  from.  New  Jersey,  having  been  born  about  four 
miles  from  Henry's  birthplace.  A  spontaneous  friend- 
ship sprang  up  between  them,  such  as  seldom  occurs 
in  this  less  rapid  period:  and  they  went  over  to  the 
mouth  pf  Stony  Creek  in  Colusa  county,  where  they 
purchased  a  piece  of  land  from-  A.  C.  St.  John  and 
proceeded  to  lay  off  a  townsite  which  they  called 
Monroeville.  This  was  the  head  of  easy  navigation 
on  the  Sacramento,  although  boats  had  gone  as  high 
as  Tehama  on  high  water.  They  purchased  a  side- 
wheel  steamer  called  the  Express,  which  made  two 
trips  weekly  between  there  and  the  capital.  Following 
is  a  partial  list  of  her  officers  in  1854: 

Captain    James  A.   Morgan 

Pilot    William  Pierce 

Purser   v John  F.  Willis 

Chief  Engineer A.  C.  Zimmerman 

Assistant  Engineer    Bolivar  Hight 

Steward    E.  B.  Collins 

Mate    - S.  B    Gamage 

Watchman   Thos.  B.  Merry 

Connecting  with  this  boat  was  a  tri-weekly  line  of 
stages    to    Shasta,    of   which    Henry   Williamson    -was 


<&he  gvee&ev  cmi*  grporismcm

agent  at  the  latter  place  until  he  went  East  in  Febru- 
ary, 1S53,  when  his  brother,  Dr.  Jonathan  Williamson, 
afterwards  surgeon  o£  Col.  Conner's  California  regi- 
ment during  the  Civil  War,   took  his  place. 

Henry  left  Cincinnati  in  March,  1S53,  with  four 
wagons,  bound  for  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  which  was  then 
the  great  starting  point  for  all  the  west-bound 
wagon  trains. .  His  chief  features  in  the  train  were 
the  stallion  Belmont,  six  years  old;  Maria  Downing, 
ch.  m.  1844,  by  American  Eclipse  out  of  Red  Moroc- 
co's dam  by  Tiger;  Liz  Givens,  b.  m.  1S47  by  imp. 
Langford,  out  of  Charlotte  Pace  by  Sir  Archy;  Fanny 
Mostyn.  br.  m.  1846  by  Grey  Medoc,  out  of  imp.  Lady 
Mostyn  by  Teniers;  three  yearling  fillies  by  Cadmus. 
Trustee  and  Laplander,  out  of  the  three  mares  above 
named;  and  the  fifteen-year-old  stallion  American 
Boy  Jr..  which  lacked  one-thirty-second  of  being  a 
thoroughbred  horse.  The  latter  got  Fanny  Branham, 
the  second  dam  of  the  well-known  trotting  horse 
James  Madison  2:17%. 

The  trip  across  the  plains  was  comparatively  un- 
eventful and  all  arrived  safely  at  Monroeville  in  Sep- 
tember except  one  of  the  yearling  fillies  that  died  on 
the  way.  Henry  went  back  to  Shasta  as  agent  of  the 
stage  line  and  the  doctor  began  practice  in  San 
Francisco,  in  an  old  wooden  building  where  the  Oc- 
cidental Hotel  now  stands,  known  as  Harry  Meiggs' 
music  hall. 

William  M.  Williamson,  Henry's  youngest  brother, 
came  out  in  the  train  and  brought  with  him  his  wife 
and  two  children,  both  of  whom  died  in  the  following 
year.  No  sooner,  had  William  arrived  at  the  landing 
than  Monroe  began  to  be  conspicuous  by  his  ab- 
sence. The  truth  was  that  he  was  spending  most 
of  his  time  in  Marysville  and  gambling  off  money  as 
though  he  had  millions  One  day  at  Sacramento,  the 
agent.  W.  Arnold,  called  on  Purser  Willis  for"  money 
to  pay  some  back  charges  on  cargo  received  from 
San  Francisco.  It  was  raised  with  difficulty  and  paid. 
The  next  trip  the  same  thing  occurred  and  there  was 
no  money  forthcoming.  The  boat  was  tied  up  for 
debt  and  we  were  all  discharged,  with  at  least  twenty 
days'  pay  due  us.  Come  to  find  out  about  it,  Monroe 
had  not  only  squandered  over  $16,000  in  nine  months 
but  had  also  given  the  firm's  notes  for  half  as  much 
more  to  Albert  G.  Toomes,  William  G.  Churd  and  a 
dozen  others  living  along  the  river.  The  total  in- 
debtedness was  somewhere  about  $55,000.  Henry  put 
the  horses  into  his  brother's  name  to  avoid  attach- 
ment; and  then,  fortified  against  any  further  trouble 
on  that  score,  kept  on  meeting  his  share  of  the  in- 
debtedness till,  in  1863,  he  had  discharged  all  of  his 
liability   to    the    creditors. 

Belmont  stood  at  Monroeville  in  1854  for  $40  the 
season.  On  the  bills,  the  "copy"  for  which  I  wrote 
myself,  his  name  is  spelled  "Belle  Mount,"  which  was 
the  name  of  old  Mr  Williamson's  farm  at  Springdale. 
In  1S57  Henry  began  making  trips  up  to  Oregon 
and  driving  down  American-bred  cattle  that  had  just 
come  in  off  the  plains,  while  William  removed  to  San 
Jose,  taking  with  him  his  nephew.  George  R.  Furman. 
who  had  ridden  Belmont  across  the  plains. 

In  the  winter  of  1S5S  Henry  went  East  and  came 
out  in  1S59  with  a  drove  of  pure-bred  Devon  cattle, 
the  first  that  had  ever  been  brought  to  this  State. 
Belmont  (as  everybody  here  pronounced  the  name) 
stood  at  $50  in  1855,  $75  in  1856  and  at  that  rate  until 
1860,  when  the  victories  of  Owen  Dale,  Bonnie  Belle, 
Langford  and  a  dozen  others  caused  Henry  to  raise 
his  fee  to  $100,  at  which  rate  he  stood  till  the  time 
of  his  death  in  1866.  He  was  struck  on  the  hock  Dy 
an  ignorant  groom  while  currying  him.  A  sore  de- 
veloped there  and  Henry  kept  neglecting  it  until  it 
became  chronic  and  could  not  be  cured;  and  thus 
was  lost  to  this  State  one  of  the  grandest  and  most 
valuable  horses  ever  foaled  on  American  soil.  If  you 
■want  a  correct  idea  of  how  he  looked,  take  my  book, 
"The  American  Thoroughbred,"  and,  on  page  36,  there 
you  will  find  a  portrait  of  Persimmon,  the  King's  horse 
that  won  the  Derby.  From  the  saddle  back,  the  re- 
semblance to  Belmont  is  simply  perfect.  There  is 
also  an  almost  exact  likeness  in  the  head  and  neck, 
but  the  placing  of  the  shoulder  is  quite  different. 
Belmont's  value,  as  a  sire,  does  not  end  with  the 
thoroughbreds  of  his  get.  He  was  the  sire  of  Venture 
2:27%,  the  only  thoroughbred  stallion  that  ever  broke 
into  the  2:30  list.  As  the  sire  of  the  dams  and  grand- 
dams  of  trotters  in  the  2:30  list,  Belmont  makes  twice 
as  big  a  showing  as  any  horse,  strictly  thoroughbred, 
that  ever  stood  for  public  service  in  America.  Not 
only  that,  but  his  sons — Owen  Dale,  Langford,  Correct, 
Ben  Lippincott  and  one  or  two  others  of  less  note — 
are  already  inscribed  as  sires  of  the  Gams  and  grand- 
dams  of  2:30  performers.  In  1S93  Mr.  William  G. 
Layng,  who  succeeded  me  as  editor  of  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman,  compiled  a  list  of  2:30  performers  de- 
scended from  Belmont  and  his  sons,  a  perusal  of 
which  I  most  earnestly  commend  to  those  breeders 
who  think  that  the  modern  light-harness  horse  can 
i  get  along  without  an  infusion  of  thoroughbred  blood 
to  impart  staying  power.  It  may  teach  some  men  that, 
while  they  know  a  great  deal,  they  have  yet  much  to 
learn  about  breeding. 

The    first   thoroughbred   horse    foaled    in    the    State 
'  was  Langford  by  Belmont,  out  of  Liz  Givens  by  im- 
ported   Langford.      He    won    the    two-mile    heats    at 
'  Napa,  beating  the  Kentucky  horse  Ashland,  who  won 
the  first  heat.     Ashland  had  previously  beaten  Owen 
Dale    at    four-mile    heats.      These    horses    were    then 
matched  at  four-mile  heats  for  $10,000  and  Langford 
I  won  in  the  first  heat  in  7:43,  Ashland   being  drawn. 
■  Langford  then  distanced  Susy  Hawkins,  four  miles,  at 
Marysville.  in  7:58.     Then  his  owner  challenged  any 
horse  in  America  to  run  four  miles  for  $10,000,  the  ac- 
ceptor  to    receive    $2500    for    expenses       No    response 
was  ever  received  to  this  bold  defiance  and  Langford. 
after  winning  two  more  races,  broke  down  in  a  two- 
mile  race  won  by  Dashaway.  also  by  Belmont. 
'.     As   an   individual,    Belmont   was   something   superb. 
.He  had  as  handsome  an  eye  as  ever  was  placed  in  any 
horse's   head;    and   he   had   a   head   that   looked  as   if 


modelled  by  a  sculptor.  His  shoulder,  though  a  trifle 
straight,  was  strong  and  not  "loaded,"  like  that  of 
some  thoroughbred  horses.  His  gait  was  simply  per- 
fect. John  Bonman,  who  founded  the  first  line  of 
omnibusses  in  San  Francisco,  had  him  in  his  stable 
on  Market  street  in  1S5S,  and  told  me  that  he  broke 
him  to  harness  and  drove  him  a  mile  to  wagon,  on  the 
Pioneer  track,  in  2:59.  I  saw  Patrick  Green  drive 
him  a  mile  to  wagon  in  3.03,  with  very  little  urging; 
and  both  Joseph  T.  Hunter  and  myself  rode  him 
around  the  old  Oakland  track  that  stood  where  the 
S.  P.  shops  now  stand,  miles  in  3:03  to  saddle.  He 
was  the  fastest  walker  I  ever  rode  or  ever  saw; 
and  I  honestly  believe  he  could  walk  five  miles  an 
hour.  I  have  frequently  ridden  him  from  Henry  Wil- 
liamson's house  to  the  old  ferry  at  the  foot  of  Broad- 
way, over  six  miles,  in  an  hour  and  twenty  minutes, 
without  once  breaking  into  a  trot.  Langford  could 
trot  in  3:10  under  his  blankets,  and  was  also  a  fast 
walker.  Owen  Dale  could  trot  in  3:15  easily  and  was 
the  handsomest  horse  he  ever  got.  Senator  Stanford 
would  never  have  bought  little  Don  Victor  if  Owen 
Dale  had  been  alive.  Don  Victor  w'as  Owen  Dale's 
full  brother,  but  no  such  race  horse  nor  was  he  any 
such  individual.  The  blood  of  Belmont  is  diffused 
through  many  valuable  trotters  and  some  very  good 
gallopers.  Borghesi,  winner  of  the  handicap  at  Los 
Angeles  on  the  2d  inst.,  had  a  daughter  of  Belmont  for 
his  granddam. 

This  horse  is  called  Williamson's  Belmont,  in  con- 
tradistinction to  the  Kentucky-bred  Belmont  by  Alex- 
ander's Abdallah.  Had  "Williamson's  Belmont  not  got- 
ten Venture  2:27%  no  such  distinction  ,.ould  have 
been  necessary.  Though  his  fame,  as  a  sire  of  trot- 
ters, rests  upon  the  performance  of  a  single  horse,  the 
benefits  conferred  by  him  upon  the  trotting  turf  are 
widely  spread  and  far  reaching;  and  in  concluding 
this  brief  sketch  of  a  noble  animal  that  was  to  me  a 
dearly-loved  companion,  I  am  compelled  to  echo  the 
words  of  Brutus  at  the  grave  of  Caesar  and  say, 
"Take  him  for  all  in  all,  we  shall  not  look  upon  his 
like  again."  HIDALGO. 


BRED    RIGHT    FOR    A    SIRE. 


In  the  horse  breeding  business,  as  in  every  other, 
those  who  make  the  largest  profits  are  they  that  are 
"there  with  the  goods"  when  the  demand  comes  from 
the  public  for  a  certain  brand.  The  McKinneys  have 
had  the  call  for  the  past  few  years,  and  it  will  only 
be  a  very  short  time  until  certain  sons  of  this  great 
stallion  that  are  now  young  and  almost  untried  in 
the  stud  will  he  at  the  very  top  of  the  list  as  popular 
sires.     Zombro  2:11,  the  greatest  three-year-old  Cali- 


a  record  better  than  2.10,  as  she  possessesd  that  speed. 
She  was  by  Stamboul  2:07%,  a  sire  of  trotters,  not 
one  of  his  list  of  fifty  standard  performers  being  a 
pacer.  Stamboul  was  the  handsomest  stallion  of  his 
day,  the  Adonis  of  the  trotting  turf  as  it  were,  and 
he  has  imparted  this  quality  of  beauty  to  his  get  in 
a  marked  degree.  Seventeen  of  Stamboul's  sons  have 
sired  forty  standard  performers,  and  of  these  but  six 
are  pacers.  Twelve  of  his  daughters  have  produced 
seventeen   with   standard  records,   all   trotters. 

The  second  dam  of  Bonnie  McK  is  that  great  brood 
mare  Bon  Bon  2:26  by  Simmons.  She  is  the  dam  of 
Bonnie  Direct  2:05%,  (champion  of  his  year  and  sire 
of  Bonalet  2:09%,  champion  three-year-old  pacing 
filly),  of  Bon  Silene  2:1414,  trotting,  and  of  the  hand- 
some stallion,  Bonnie  Steinway.  that  has  paced  several 
miles  around  2:10  in  his  work  and  will  be  given  a 
low  record  next  year.  Her  sire,  Simmons,  by  Geo. 
Wilkes,  is  reckoned  one  of  the  great  brood  mare 
sires.  He  sired  the  dams  of  Fereno  2:05%,  Bonnie 
Direct  2: 05 %  and  some  thirty  more  with  fast  records, 
while  his  sons  are  also  producing  great  speed  through 
their  daughters,  as  witness  Gossiper,  sire  of  the  dam 
of  Zolock  2:0514  and  others.  Simmons  himself  was 
out  of  a  great  brood  mare  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  the 
sire  of  so  many  great  brood  mares. 

The  third  dam  of  Bonnie  McK  is  Bonnie  Wilkes 
2.29%  by  Geo.  Wilkes,  his  fourth  dam  Betty  Viley, 
a  thoroughbred  mare  by  Bob  Johnson,  son  of  the 
mighty  Boston,  sire  of  Lexington,  and  fifth  dam 
May  Viley  by  American  Eclipse.  The  first,  second  and 
third  dams  all  have  standard  trotting  records,  and 
his  first  four  dams  have  all  produced  horses  with 
standard  speed.  "Breed  in  producing  lines"  is  now 
the  slogan  with  breeders  who  aim  to  produce  the  best, 
and  Bonnie  McK  fills  this  bill  as  a  sire. 

Few  young  stallions  have  the  beauty  of  conforma- 
tion and  strong  individuality  that  this  son  of  McKin- 
ney  possesses.  He  stands  16%  hands  high,  weighs 
1100  pounds  and  is  liberally  endowed  with  substance 
and  finish.  He  has  as  perfect  a  set  of  legs  and  feet 
as  any  horse  that  lives,  and  with  wise'  breeders  this 
is  the  very  first  consideration  in  selecting  a  sire.  He 
has  been  worked  some  and  has  repeatedly  trotted 
miles  around  2:20,  his  fastest  trial  mile  to  date  being 
one  in  2:19,  with  a  half  in  1:06%  and  a  quarter  in 
32   seconds. 

He  was  bred  to  three  mares  in  1904  and  has  three 
weanlings.  In  1905  he  served  nine  mares,  and  as 
evidence  that  those  who  patronized  him  have  faith 
no  less  than  seven  of  the  mares  bred  to  Bonnie  McK 
in  his  speed  siring  abilities,  it  can  be  stated  that 
are  nominated  in  the  Pacific  Breeders'  Futurity,  which 
closed  on  the  4th  of  this  month.     His  weanlings  are

fornia  ever  saw,  led  the  way:  Zolock  2:05%  has  at- 
tained a  popularity  that  is  bringing  his  owner  large 
profits,  and  in  the  very  near  future  there  will  be 
other  sons  whose  fame  as  sires  will  be  heralded 
throughout  the  country  by  the  performances  of  their 
get.  It  will  be  the  sons  bred  in  producing  lines,  en- 
dowed with  natural  speed  and  having  strong  individ- 
uality that  will  reach  this  position  of  popularity,  and 
if  there  is  one  in  California  that  bears  all  these  marks 
of  future  greatness,  it  is  the  handsome  young  stand- 
ard and  registered  stallion,  Bonnie  McK,  36.569,  owned 
by  Mr.  George  A.  Kelley  of  Pleasanton. 

Bonnie  McK  is  bred  right  to  make  a  great  sire.  He 
fills  the  requirements  of  the  rule  laid  down  by  all 
intelligent  and  up-to-date  breeders,  which  demands 
that  a  great  progenitor  of  speed  should  come  from  a 
great  sire  line  on  his  sire's  side  and  a  great  brood 
mare  line  on  his  dam's  side.  His  sire  is  the  great 
McKinney,  sire  of  forty  with  records  of  2:15  or  better, 
twenty-eight  of  which  are  trotters.  McKinney's  sire 
was  Alcyone,  a  wonderful  sire  by  Geo.  Wilkes,  great- 
est of  all  sires,  and  he  by  old  Hambletonian  10,  the 
corner  stone  of  the  trotting  edifice. 

The  dam  of  Bonnie  McK  is  Bon  Silene  2:14%,  one 
of  the  great  race  mares  bred  in  California  and  one 
whose  beauty  of  conformation  and  perfect  gait  made 
her  noticeable  in  any  company.     She  should  have  had 


the  talk  of  Pleasanton,  where  they  are  now  being  led 
to  halter  on  the  famous  track  there,  and  their  natural 
speed  and  high-class  appearance  have  attracted  much 
attention. 

Bonnie  McK  will  be  in  the  stud  during  the  season 
of  1906  at  $50  for  the  season.  Mr.  Kelly,  who  is  in 
every  way  a  responsible  man,  states  that  he  will  re- 
turn the  service  fee  to  all  owners  who  give  their 
foals  of  1907  a  standard  record. 


BUFFALO    BILL    KILLS   HIS    HORSES. 


A  dispatch  from  Marseilles.  France,  dated  Decem- 
ber 7th,  says: 

All  the  horses  belonging  <•■  t It-  Wild  West  Show  of 
Colonel  William  F.  Cody  were  killed  here  to-day.  Al- 
though the  government  veterinaries  had  certified  that 
glanders  had  been  entirely  eradicated  from  the  stud. 
Colonel  Cody  and  his  partner,  James  A.  Bailey,  de- 
cided on  this  radical  measure  in  order  to  allay  the 
fears  of  the  farmers  regarding  the  spread  of  the  dis-

The    saddles,     bridles    Mini    other    articles      of      the 
equipment,  as  well   as  the  clothing  of  the  stablemen,

DECLINE  OF  THE  DIOMED  DYNASTY. 


tnty  Years   Descendants  in    the    Male    Line   of  the  First 
Derby  Winner  were  the  Leading  Sires  of  America:  Now  They 
m  JnconsiderabU    Figure— Seign   of  t\e  Family  Ended 
:  iportant  Facts  for  Breeders  to  Snow, 


BY  RALPH    H     TOZER 


One  hundred  years  ago  the  blood  of  Diomed,  the 
first  Derby  winner,  was  as  much  sought  after  in 
America  as  is  the  blood  of  St.  Simon  and  Flying  Fox 
in  England  and  France  at  this  moment.  Top  Gallant 
Duroc  Truxton  and  the  unbeaten  Ball's  Florizel 
among  others  had  made  Diomed's  name  a  synonym 
for  sterling  merit  as  a  sire  of  racers.  With  the  ad- 
[-  Sir  Archy  and  Potomac,  two  great  racing 
the  erase  for  the  blood  of  Sir  Charles 
Bunbery's  former  racing  celebrity  was  at  boiling 
point,  and  when  the  Sir  Archy  stock  came  out  and 
vanquished  with  ease  the  supposed  best  racers  of 
the  land,  and  for  years  sustained  the  reputation  he 
had  made  as  much  the  best  sire  ever  known  on  this 
continent,  with  Vanity,  Lady  Lightfoot,  Reality, 
Timoleon.  Sir  Charles.  Betsy  Richards,  John  Rich- 
ards, Henry,  Bertrand,  Flirtilla,  Sally  Hope,  Kate 
Kearney  and  Gabriella  to  his  credit— all  regarded 
as  showing  championship  form  at  some  time  during 
their  careers — the  triumph  was  a  complete  one.  I 
make  the  statement  that  Sir  Archy's  equal  as  a  sire 
never  lived  in  this  country,  and  I  very  much  doubt  if 
his  like  was  ever  known  in  any  part  of  the  earth, 
great  as  were  Sir  Peter,  Touchstone,  Stockwell,  St. 
Simon.  Flying  Fox,  Musket,  Chester,  Yattendon, 
Buccaneer,  Boston,  Lexington,  Imp.  Leamington,  Imp. 
Bonnie  Scotland,  Imp.  Glenelg,  Imp.  Ormonde,  Han- 
over, Imp.  Meddler  and  Hamburg.  They  could  not 
show  such  a  bouquet  of  first-class  racers  as  I  have 
mentioned  above,  for  those  horses  were  nearly  all 
four-mile  heat  runners  that  traveled  hundreds  of 
miles  on  foot  over  a  rough  country  in  order  to  meet 
gallopers  worthy  of  their  steel.  Volumes  could  be 
written  of  the  achievements  of  this  baker's  dozen 
of  racing  stars  by  Sir  Archy.  And  when  American 
Eclipse,  a  grandson  of  Diomed,  swept  everything 
before  him  and  retired  from  the  turf  unbeaten,  when 
Sir  Charles  went  to  the  stud  recognized  as  a  cham- 
pion racer  and  proved  fully  as  good  a  sire  as  turf 
performer,  heading  the  winning  stallion  list  of 
America  in  1S30,  finishing  second  in  1S31,  first  in 
1832,  second  to  American  Eclipse  in  1833,  first  in 
1S36,  1S37  and  IS3S.  it  was  a  case  of  Diomed  blood 
first  and  the  rest  nowhere. 

Sir  Charles  and  American  Eclipse,  with  Timoleon, 
Sumpter  and  John  Richards  for  good  measure,  kept 
the  Diomed  blood  in  the  eye  of  the  public  for  many 
years,  and  then  came  another  Sir  Archy  to  be  a 
champion  of  the  turf  as  well  as  of  the  stud, 
Bertrand,  a  native  of  South  Carolina.  Scarcely  inferior 
was  Bertrand's  brother,  Pacific,  who  stood  in  Tennes- 
see, or  Arab,  Stockholder  and  Gohanna,  also  sons  of 
Sir  Archy.  For  a  time  Imp.  Leviathan  and  also  Imp. 
Glencoe  and  Imp.  Priam,  somewhat  dimmed  the 
luster  of  Sir  Archy  or  Diomed  family's  star,  but  there 
were  so  many  good  ones  of  the  dynasty  that,  as  a 
family,  they  were  in  the  lead  in  this  country,  and 
Medoc,  son  of  American  Eclipse,  came  up  promi- 
nently in  1839  through  being  second  on  the  winning 
stallions'  list  to  Leviathan,  and  in  1S40  and  1S41  held 
the  post  of  honor  for  the  Diomed  dynasty  again. 
Birmingham,  a  son  of  Stockholder  (by  Sir  Archy) 
began  to  loom  up  prominently  in  the  early  '40's  in 
Tennessee,  where  Arab  was  also.  I  might  here  men- 
tion that  in  1829  was  foaled  the  great  racer  Betsy 
Malone,  by  Stockholder.  This  mare  started  in  twenty- 
two  races,  most  of  them  at  heats  of  three  miles,  and 
was  defeated  on  but  one  occasion,  through  falling 
to  her  knees.  I  bring  Betsy  Malone  in  here  because 
she  is  the  ancestress  of  three  of  the  horses  of  the 
male  line  of  Diomed  worth  mentioning  in  this  day, 
and  they  lack  a  lot  of  being  good  sires.  Reference  is 
made  to  Rey  del  Sierras,  El  Rio  Rey  and  Emperor 
of  Norfolk. 

In  the  late  '40's  the  Diomed  family  (Sir  Archy 
branch)  drew  well  ahead  again  in  the  race  for  sire 
honors,  Boston,  "Old  White  Nose,"  pride  of  Virginia, 
winner  of  forty  races  in  forty-five  starts,  and  a 
hero  even   in   the  defeat  given  him  by  the  New  Jer- 

Pashion,    in    1S42    at    Union    Course,   Long 
Island,  being  the  medium.     For  many  years  the  star 
Bo  '"n  shone  much  brighter  than  that  of  any  other 
Li*y    in    the    horse    constellation.      Bostona    was 
foaled   In   1844,     Tally-Ho  in   1845.    Red  Eye  in  1846. 
In    IMS,   Lexington    and   Lecomte    in    1850,    and 
all   were   put   in    the   category  of  "great  racers,"    he- 
Hides   which    Boston  begot  many  that  were  but  little 
inferior    to    the    celebrities    mentioned    in      point      of 
rig  ability. 

foaled   in   1S50  at  the   farm  of  E.  War- 

gton,    Ky„    was    the   speed   marvel    of   the 

age,    and    in    1854    Lecomte    administered      the      only 

Lexington    ever    sustained,    the    first    heat    of 

four   miles   being   run   at   Metairie    Course,    New   Or- 

In   7:26,  a  cut  in  the  record  of  six  and  a  half 

seconds,   Fashion  having  beaten  Boston  May  10,  1842, 

As    showing    how    phenomenal    this    was 

ered   at    the   time    (1854)    it   will   be  noted   that 

best    time    of   the    following    turf   notables   was: 

Henry   ,  .-        Medoc  and  Altorf  (dead  heat)  7:35; 

I  I    heal    be    won,    7:40;    Fashion   7:32%; 

.Miss    Foot,   a nd    heat,    7:35;    George    Martin,   when 

man     Reel,   dam   of   Lecomte,   broke  down, 

i  r:33.     Thus  it  was  that  when  Rich- 

ard  Tei  vho,   by   the   way,  died  at  Redwood 

31  Lte,  about   tblrtei        •    i        go,  offered  to 
run   Lexington   over   the  Metairie  course  against   the 
1     I '    made    in    America   for   the   sum    of 

-fourth  forfeit,  he  was  taken  up  with  dis- 

i  "ms   of  the   challenge   being  Colonel 

Calvin  Green  and   Captain  John  Belcher  of  Virginia. 


It  is  history  that  Lexington  on  April  2,  1S55,  with  103 
pounds  up,  Gil  Patrick  riding,  ran  the  race  against 
Father  Time,  and  not  only  won  it,  to  the  surprise 
of  the  majority  of  onlookers,  but  cut  the  record  from 
7:26  to  7:19%.  the  last  mile  being  accomplished  in 
1.48%.  Lexington  wiped  out  his  only  defeat  on  April 
24,  1S55,  when  he  easily  defeated  Lecomte,  103  pounds 
to  Lecomte's  100,  in  7:23%,  the  latter  being  with- 
drawn in  the  second  heat.  Lecomte,  who  weighed 
160  pounds  less  than  Lexington,  was  afterward  taken 
to  England  by  Mr.  Ten  Broeck  and  was  undoubtedly 
a  great  horse.  Lexington,  whose  earnings  footed  up 
$56,540,  was  taken  to  Kentucky  and  R.  A.  Alexander 
paid  $15,000  for  the  great  racer  after  his  racing  days 
had  come  to  a  close.  This  was  considered  a  tre- 
mendous price  in  those  times,  and  especially  large  as 
Lexington  went  blind.  Mr.  Alexander  declared  to 
the  men  wrho  scoffed  at  him,  and  made  besides  a 
large  wager,  that  he  would  yet  "sell  one  of  Lexing- 
ton's colts  for  more  than  he  gave  for  the  old  horse." 
This  he  did  in  1S64,  when  the  war  was  at  its  height, 
securing  $15,000  for  Norfolk,  Theodore  Winters  of 
California  being  the  purchaser  and  the  late  James 
Eoff  contributing  the  extra  dollar,  so  that,  through 
the  stubbornness  of  the  then  owner  of  Norfolk  and 
the  rich  California  miner,  the  deal  would  not  fall 
through.  Norfolk  was  never  beaten,  and  after  de- 
feating the  best  colts  at  the  East  in  the  Jersey  Derby 
and  one  other  race  was  brought  to  Calfornia,  where 
he   downed   the   game   Lodi   in   a   big   match   race   in

this  city  and  twice  later  on  at  Sacramento  in  two  and 
three  mile  heat  races,  the  time  made  in  1865  in  the 
latter  still  being  the  best  on  record.  Asteroid,  by 
Lexington,  also  retired  unbeaten,  and  the  question 
of  their  racing  ability  was  discussed  over  the  East 
before  Norfolk  was  brought  out  to  the  Coast.  Ken- 
tucky was  beaten  by  Norfolk,  and  that  was  his  only 
defeat  in  five  seasons  on  the  turf,  he  winning  twenty- 
one  races.  All  these  flyers  were  from  Glencoe  mares. 
Idlewild,  the  aged  one-eyed  mare  that  afterward 
produced  the  grand  racer  and  sire  Wildidle,  was  the 
first  of  the  get  of  Lexington  to  bring  him  great  fame. 
She  was  foaled  in  1S59.  In  1S62  came  Harry  of  the 
West,  who,  if  memory  serves,  in  1S67  won  seventeen 
races  in  succession,  a  majority  being  at  three-mile 
heats.  Of  course  the  war  and  the  confiscating  of 
all  the  race  horses  the  contending  armies  could  lay 
hands  on  virtually  killed  racing,  but  Salina,  Harry 
Bassett  and  Tom  Bowling  were  real  champions  in 
the  early  '70's,  and  Duke  of  Magenta,  foaled  in  1875, 
the  last  year  of  Lexington's  life,  was  also  a  first- 
rater. 

With  the  death  of  Lexington  came  the  decline  of 
the  Diomed  male  line,  and  it  has  continued  in  its 
decadence  to  the  present  day,  when  its  best  repre- 
sentatives are  Rey  del  Sierras,  by  Joe  Hooker,  and 
brother  to  To  Tambien,  El  Rio  Rey,  by  Norfolk,  and 
his  brother,  Emperor  of  Norfolk.  The  latter  is  the 
only  one  of  the  trio  that  has  sired  real  simon  pure 
stake  horses,  those  being  Rey  del  Carreres  (Ameri- 
cus)   and  Cruzasdos. 

There  were  many  great  racing  sons  of  Lexington, 
but  with  the  exception  of  Norfolk  and  Colton  none 
could  be  accounted  good  sires.  War  Dance,  who  wras 
out  of  Reel,  the  great  daughter  of  Imp.  Glencoe,  was 
not  a  good  race  horse,  but  he  did  get  some  very 
good  winners,  the  best  being  Modesty  and  L'Argen- 
tine.  Bullion,  son  of  War  Dance,  was  a  fair  sort  of 
sire,  and  Grinstead.  a  grandson  of  Lexington,  was  the 
best  stallion  in  California  for  many  years,  his  daugh- 
ters being  excellent  producers  and  his  sons  prac- 
tically failures  as  sires,  Gano  and  Santiago,  however, 
getting  a  few  fair  gallopers.  Pat  Malloy,  Jack  Ma- 
lone, Uncas  and  Wanderer  got  some  winners,  but 
were  not  very  high-class  sires.  However,  mares  ov 
the  first  two  named  are  generally  great  producers. 
Joe  Hooker,  son  of  Monday,  he  by  Colton.  was  a  suc- 
cess at  the  stud,  and  his  daughters  are  proving  high- 


class  producers,  one  of  them  giving  to  the  world 
the  game  little  Sir  Walter,  winner  of  $12S,000,  an- 
other Candelaria,  a  stake  horse,  but  bar  Rey  del 
Sierras  and  To  El  Rey,  his  sons,  have  accomplished 
nothing  as  sires  and  this  pair  have  as  yet  not  sired 
real  stake  horses.  Thus,  the  chances  for  a  rescusci- 
tation  of  the  male  line  of  Diomed,  which  held  sway 
for  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  century,  rests,  as  far 
as  I  can  see,  upon  Cruzados,  a  stake  horse  by  Em- 
peror of  Norfolk  from  a  Grinstead  mare,  thus  having 
a  double  cross  of  Lexington. 

The  question  now  naturally  arises,  what  caused 
the  decadence  of  the  line  that  proved  its  superiority 
for  such  a  long  period  in  America?  I  have  given  the 
question  much  thought,  and  the  solution  seems  to  be 
found  in  the  fact  that  too  much  blood  was  used  of 
the  sires  that  begot  a  very  much  larger  percentage 
of  good  females  than  males.  Boston,  sire  of  Lexing- 
ton, got  more  good  males  than  females,  hence  it  was 
natural  that  Lexington,  his  best  racing  son,  should 
be  a  wonderful  sire.  But  should  the  sons  of  Lexing- 
ton "breed  on?"  No,  I  answer,  for  the  reason  that 
a  majority  of  the  mares  bred  to  Lexington  were  by 
Imp.  Glencoe,  a  number  by  Imp.  Yorkshire  and  some 
by  Imp.  Albion,  all  famous  for  the  production  of 
extra  good  mares  and  few  good  sires,  the  last  named 
two  none  of  note.  The  Lexington  blood  was  so  pop- 
ular that  the  sons  of  Lexington  from  Glencoe  and 
Yorkshire  mares  were  bred  to  mares  with  another  in- 
fusion of  Glencoe,  or  perhaps  Imp.  Eclipse  and  prob- 
ably back  of  that  Medoc,  Trustee,  American  Eclipse 
or  Stockholder,  again  all  sires  of  females  far  su- 
perior to  the  males,  as  turf  history  will  show  con- 
clusively. Result — A  general  weakening  of  the  male 
line  and  a  strengthening  of  the  female  side.  The  Lex- 
ington mares,  as  a  class,  were  seldom  equalled  at  the 
stud,  Glencoe's  daughters  alone  rivalling  them,  and 
many  of  the  champions  were  by  Lexington  from 
Glencoe  mares,  like  Norfolk,  Asteroid  and  Salina. 

Had  the  breeders  of  the  '70's  known  as  much  as 
breeders  do  to-day  of  the  tendency  of  horses  to  beget 
good  males  or  females,  as  the  case  might  be,  the  Lex- 
ington brand  of  Diomed  would  not  occupy  the  un- 
happy position  that  it  does  to-day,  and  the  answer 
of  the  Kentucky  school  boy  to  his  teacher,  who  asked 
what  "well  bred"  meant — "three  crosses  of  Lexing- 
ton"— would  not  be  thought  correct,  unless  one 
wanted   a  good  brood  mare. 

And  to-day  breeders  should  ask  themselves,  before 
breeding  to  any  horse,  what  are  his  characteristics? 
Does  he  beget  better  mares  than  he  does  males?  If 
so,  I  would  not  care  for  him,  for  there  are  plenty 
of  mares  in  this  country  bred  on  lines  that  should  in- 
sure their  doing  well  at  the  stud,  but  few  stallions 
so  bred  that  one  could  count  on  their  proving  sires 
that  would  "breed  on"  best  through  their  sons. 

With  a  view  of  bringing  the  Diomed  dynasty  (Lex- 
ington branch)  into  power  again,  I  have  prepared  a 
table  for  the  use  of  breeders,  showing  the  character- 
istics of  the  various  high-class  stallions  since  Lex- 
ington's time  (he  died  in  1S75).  History  shows  that 
the  sires  of  a  larger  number  of  extra  good  male  than 
female  turf  performers  prove  the  most  desirable, 
for  the  reason  that  their  sons  "breed  on."  Anyone 
possessing  a  stallion  of  the  male  line  of  Diomed 
should  use  mares  full  of  the  blood  of  the  sires  in  the 
first  table — sires  of  a  larger  number  of  good  males 
than  females.  The  blood  of  the  horses  contained  in 
the  second  table  should  be  avoided  religiously  by 
owners  of  stallions  with  lots  of  Lexington,  Glencoe, 
Yorkshire,  Albion,  Medoc  or  American  Eclipse 
blood,  while  the  blood  of  horses  in  the  third  table 
can  be  used  at  will,  and  found  good,  but  if  you  wanted 
to  have  a  sire  that  would  "breed  on"  you  would  use 
the  blood  of  the  sires  represented  in  the  first  table  as 
much  as  possible.

WHAT  A  STATE  FAIR   SHOULD   BE. 


BY  ALBERT    LINDLEY. 
Secretary  California  State  Agricultural  Society. 


As  secretary  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  I  ac- 
cept, with  pleasure,  the  opportunity  to  give  to  the 
readers  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  the  plans  that 
have  been  formulated  by  the  society's  directors,  and 
my  personal  ideas  of  how  our  State  Fairs  may  be 
made  a  credit  to  California  and  become  what  it  was 
intended  they  should  be,  an  annual  industrial  exhibi- 
tion for  the  education  and  amusement  of  the  farmer, 
stockraiser  and  producer;  a  festival  given  each  year 
by  the  State  that  it  may  encourage  the  increase  of 
its  products,  in  variety  and  quantity,  and  improve- 
ment in  quality  by  offering  adequate  medals,  prizes 
and  cash  premiums  for  the  best  of  anything  pro- 
duced anywhere  within  its  borders;  a  holiday  de- 
voted particularly  to  the  entertainment  and  instruc- 
tion  of   the   country   people. 

In  my  opinion  we  must  first  get  back  to  the  old- 
fashioned  State  Fair;  that  is,  a  fair  where  a  $5000  bull 
will  have  a  chance  to  win  as  much  in  a  contest  that 
lasts  a  whole  week  or  more,  as  a  $400  thoroughbred 
can  win  in  a  contest  that  lasts  two  minutes  or  less. 
A  fair  where  the  owner  of  a  great  herd  of  Holstein 
or  Jersey  cattle,  who  has  twenty-five  or  thirty  head 
on  exhibition  worth  many  thousands  of  dollars,  will 
be  given  as  much  attention  by  the  press  and  the  peo- 
ple as  is  the  man  who  owns  a  couple  of  horses  that 
would  be  more  at  home  in  a  delivery  wagon  than  a 
sulky.  A  fair  where  every  county  in  the  State  will 
be  encouraged  to  send  county  exhibits  made  up  of  its 
best  products,  having  positive  assurance  that  if  it 
wins  a  prize  it  will  be  amply  compensated  in  money 
and  publicity  for  the  expense  and  trouble  incurred.  A 
fair  where,  if  a  man  displays  his  poultry,  he  may  feel 
assured  that  he  can  not  only  win  good  premiums,  but 
will  find  modern,  cleanly  and  well  ventilated  buildings 
and  coops  in  which  to  show  them.  A  fair  that  en- 
courages amateur  outdoor  sports  by  furnishing  first 
class  grounds  upon  which  each  year  to  hold  inter- 
county  contests,  such  as  football,  baseball,  bicycle  and 
shooting  tournaments,  and  giving  liberal  prizes  to  the 
winners.  A  fair  where  the  entire  exhibition  with 
everything  displayed,  from  a  lace  handkerchief  to  a 
hog,  may  be  seen,  day  or  night,  for  one  admission, 
upon  the  State  Fair  grounds  A  fair  that  will  have 
such  a  speed  track  that  the  California  standard  bred 
horse,  the  finest  and  fastest  in  the  world,  can,  under 
State  supervision,  upon  our  own  soil,  make  those 
world's  records  that  have  done  more  probably  to  ad- 
vertise California  than  any  other  one  thing.  A  fair 
where  there  shall  be  something  doing  from  morning 
till  midnight  that  will  either  interest,  amuse  or  in- 
struct its  patrons. 

Many  believe  that  such  a  fair  cannot  be  made  a 
success.  In  their  opinion,  the  public  will  not  give  its 
patronage  to  the  State  fair  unless  running  races  are 
made  its  principal  attraction.  With  a  certain  class 
of  people  this  is  undoubtedly  true,  but  with  the  coun- 
try people,  for  whom  State  fairs  throughout  the 
Union  are  supposed  to  be  conducted  and  maintained, 
the  running  races  are  not  the  principal  attraction.  In 
my  opinion  it  is  a  mistaken  idea  that  in  order  for  our 
State  fairs  to  be  successful  they  must  be  conducted  at 
the  State's  expense  as  a  preparatory  department  of 
the  professional  jockey  clubs. 

As  an  evidence  that  the  success  of  a  State  Fair  is 
not  dependent  upon  the  running  races,  we  have  the 
State  fairs  of  the  north  and  east  and  south  that  are 
conducted  with  but  few,  if  any,  running  races,  where 
the  attendance  is  greater,  sometimes  twice  over,  in  a 
single  day  than  has  the  attendance  been  for  years 
past  at  the  California  State  Fair  for  the  entire  two 
weeks  of  its  meeting.  This  I  say  without  wishing  to 
detract  from  the  sport  offered  by  the  owners  and 
breeders  of  running  horses,  but  while  they  have  the 
encouragement  offered  by  the  professional  jockey 
clubs  in  breeding  and  developing  that  class  of  horses, 
the  owner  and  breeder  of  the  harness  horse  is  de- 
pendent almost  entirely  upon  the  State,  district  and 
county  fairs  for  his  encouragement  and  support,  and 
it  is  upon  the  race  tracks  kept  up  by  such  State,  dis- 
trict and  county  fairs  that  the  harness  horse  must 
make  those  records  upon  which  his  value  and  sale 
depends;  therefore,  it  is  no  more  than  proper  that  the 
greatest  inducement  should  be  offered  the  owner  and 
breeder  of  standard  bred  horses  at  our  State  fairs,  not 
only  upon  the  above  mentioned  account,  but  because 
every  farmer  and  every  stock  raiser  is  a  breeder  or 
owner  of  the  harness  horse  and  is  directly  interested 
in  the  State  Fair,  so  far  as  it  relates  to  horse  racing, 
only  on  account  of  the  encouragement  it  gives  the 
breeding  and  development  of  this  class  of  horses. 

In  order  to  create  a  renewed  interest  in  our  State 
fairs  the  directors  of  the  Agricultural  Society  are  en- 
deavoring to  complete  a  scheme  of  buildings  upon  the 
new  State  Fair  grounds  that  will  furnish  modern  and 
suitable  accommodations  for  the  proper  display  of  the 
produce  of  every  exhibitor.  It  is  the  intention  to  have 
these  buildings  so  located  and  grouped  that  they  will 
be  easily  accessible  to  the  patrons  of  the  fair,  and 
they  are  to  be  surrounded  with  clean  covered  walks 
and  drives.  Between  now  and  the  time  for  holding 
the  next  State  Fair  it  is  expected  that  the  entire 
fair  grounds  will  be  properly  graded  and  sown  to 
grass,  with  many  trees  of  different  varieties  planted 
upon  that  portion  of  the  fair  grounds  outside  of  the 
race  track.  And  the  directors  are  now  considering  the 
proposition  of  setting  apart  a  portion  of  the  grounds 
for  a  free  market  place  for  people  who  wish  to  camp 
upon  the  fair  grounds  during  the  time  of  the  fair, 
vhere  they  may  find  shelter  for  their  stock  and  first 
class  camping  facilities  and  be  supplied  by  the  so- 
ciety with  their  hay  and  grain  at  cost.  Such  an  ar- 
rangement would  undoubtedly  bring  many  people  from 
the  country  to  the  State  Fair,  where  they  could  buy. 


sell  and  exchange  different  farm  products  and  breeds 
of  cattle,  sheep,  swine  or  poultry,  and  also  gain  from 
each  other  new  ideas  regarding  the  improvement  of 
their  products. 

Committees  have  been  appointed  to  revise  the  pre- 
mium list  both  in  the  livestock  departments  and  in 
the  departments  of  agriculture  and  horticulture. 
When  this  work  is  completed  the  prospective  ex- 
hibitors will  find  that  in  many  cases  the  premiums 
have  been  increased  so  that  there  will  be  additional 
inducement  offered  in  all  departments. 

Amusement  should  be  furnished  morning,  after- 
noon and  evening  so  that  there  would  be  some  at- 
traction for  the  public  at  all  hours  of  the  day  and 
evening.  In  the  morning  we  hope  to  have,  outside 
of  the  usual  stock  parades,  etc.,  inter-county  and  in- 
ter-state shooting  contests  by  amateur  gun  clubs,  also 
baseball  and  football  games  between  teams  from  dif- 
ferent counties,  and  liberal  prizes  should  be  given  to 
the  best  teams  in  any  of  these  classes,  and  cups  and 
medals  should  be  offered  by  the  society,  to  be  con- 
tested for  each  year  and  to  be  held  by  the  county 
having  the  best  team  in  the  State  in  either  one  of  these 
lines  of  sport. 

Such  contests  as  these  will  have  a  tendency  to 
generate  a  rivalry  between  the  different  counties  of 
the  State,  not  only  in  matters  of  sport,  but  the  ex- 
hibitions made  of  products  by  individuals  and  by 
counties  themselves  which  will  result  in  interesting 
the  people  and  the  press  throughout  the  State,  which 
means  increased  attendance,  and  increased  publicity 
for  the  State  Fair  through  the  columns  of  the  news- 
papers. No  contest,  unless  it  is  a  cold-blooded  gam- 
bling proposition,  is  ever  a  genuine  success  unless 
there  is  a  feeling  of  local  rivalry  between  the  con- 
testants. The  sport  itself,  as  has  been  proven  in 
baseball,  football  and  other  amusements,  when  shorn 
of  local  feeling  would  not  draw  enough  people  to  make 
the  gate  money  cover  the  advertising  expenses.  I 
am  endeavoring  by  this  to  show  that  to  get  exhibitors 
and  the  people  interested  in  the  State  Fair  we  must 
stir  up  a  keen  but  wholesome  rivalry  between  the 
counties  and  different  sections  of  the  State.  By  this 
plan  and  with  increased  premiums  we  will  certainly 
improve  the  class  and  increase  the  number  of  exhibits, 
and  in  proportion  to  the  importance  and  number  of 
exhibits  made,  and  to  the  local  rivalry  created  will 
be  the  number  of  people  that  attend  our  State  fairs, 
and  the  people  who  are  encouraged  to  visit  the  State 
fairs  in  this  manner  are  the  very  people  for  whom 
State  fairs  are  maintained. 

If  possible,  harness  races  should  be  arranged  be- 
tween horses  owned  and  bred  in  the  different  coun- 
ties of  the  State,  and  rules  adopted  that  will  make 
such  contests  absolutely  non-professional,  and  in  this 
way  encourage  the  farmer  to  breed,  raise,  train  and 
drive   the  horses  entered   in  these  races. 

Have  the  fair  grounds  brilliantly  lighted  with  elec- 
tricity at  night,  and  also  light  at  least  a  quarter  of 
a  mile  of  the  track  near  the  grand  stand,  so  that  all 
exhibits  may  be  seen  as  well  at  night  as  by  day,  and 
amusements,  novelty  races  and  sports  of  every  kind 
may  be  conducted  in  front  of  the  grand  stand  for  the 
entertainment  of  the  public  in  the  evening. 

Trains  of  decorated  and  well  lighted  trolley  cars, 
carrying  bands  of  music,  should  be  provided  to  carry 
the  public  to  and  from  the  fair  grounds  for  these 
evening  entertainments. 

A  State  Fair  conducted  along  these  lines  might 
not  be  an  immediate  financial  success,  for  it  will 
take  a  year  or  two,  at  least,  to  convince  the  produc- 
ers that  the  State  Agricultural  Society  is  now  fully 
determined  to  carry  on  these  annual  exhibitions  pri- 
marily in  their  interests.  It  will  also  take  time  to 
make  the  public  understand  that  these  fairs  are  given

each  year  for  the  benefit  of  the  whole  State  and  are 
worthy  of  their  patronage  when  viewed  as  either  an 
institution   of  education  or  entertainment. 

It  will  take  time,  too,  to  convince  the  press  of  the 
State  of  our  earnestness  in  this  matter  that  we  may 
gain  from  the  newspapers  their  enthusiastic  sup- 
port. When  these  things  are  accomplished  there  will 
be  no  more  question  about  the  success  of  California's 
State  fairs  than  there  is  about  the  State  fairs  of 
the  east  and  north. 

In  the  meantime  should  the  Agricultural  Society 
find  that  by  giving  a  State  Fair  along  these  lines 
they  have  cut  themselves  off  from  a  certain  amount 
of  revenue  that  has  heretofore  been  derived  from 
the  running  races  and  on  that  account  find  them- 
selves after  the  close  of  our  coming  State  Fair  con- 
fronted by  a  deficit,  can  it  be  doubted  but  that  the 
members  of  the  next  Legislature,  who  are  the  peo- 
ple's representatives,  would  gladly  make  liberal  ap- 
propriations to  cover  any  such  deficit,  when  they  un- 
derstand that  it  was  caused  by  a  change  of  policy 
of  the  directors  of  the  society  in  their  effort  to  en- 
courage the  breeding  and  improvement  of  the  standard 
bred  horse,  in  fostering  the  interests  of  the  raiser  of 
cattle,  sheep,  swine  and  poultry,  and  the  encourage- 
ment of  the  agricultural,  horticultural,  mineral  and 
manufacturing  interests  of  the  State  by  furnishing 
better  facilities  for  the  exhibition  of  the  products 
of  these  industries  and  increasing  the  premiums  to 
encourage  their  display.  Such  action  on  the  part 
of  the  Legislature,  under  these  conditions,  would  un- 
doubtedly meet  with  the  approval  of  the  people 
throughout  the  State,  and  the  Governor.  The  great 
State  of  California  is  not  a  "cheap"  State.  It  is  will- 
ing to  pay,  and  pay  well,  for  anything  as  long  as  it  re- 
ceives fair  value  for  the  money  Invested.  It  has 
spent  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  in  sending  ex- 
hibits of  our  State  products  to  those  expositions  that 
have  been  held  in  other  States  and  other  countries, 
and  this  money,  without  a  doubt,  has  been  well  in- 
vested, for  it  has  resulted  in  the  advertising  of  our 
State  and  its  products  abroad  and  bringing  to  Califor- 
nia thousands  upon  thousands  of  people  seeking 
homes,  but  not  one  dollar  of  the  money  so  spent  would 
be  better  invested  than  would  be  the  money  used  in 


improvement  over  his  sire  at  the  stud,  and  Domino

at  least  in  the  first  five  generations.  If  the 
owners  of  the  Lexington  male  line  stallions  did  not 
care  for  "American  blood"  let  them  go  to  England 
and  buy  some  mares  by  Bend  Or.  Hampton,  Kendal, 
Galopm,  Wisdom  or  near  crosses  of  Doncaster  Blair

Newmmster,  Voltiguer,  Orlando,  Touchstone,  Irish 
Birdcatcher.  Whalebone,  Whisker  and  other  "sire

metioned  plans  are  followed  out,  the  propects  tor  the 
Diomed  or  Lexington  male  line  again  occupying  a 
front  rank  in  America  is  decidedly  gloomy  I  have 
seen  horses  at  the  stud  with  from  four  to  six  crosses 
of  Lexington  backed  up  by  Glencoe.  Albion,  Medoc 
Trustee  or  other  strains  where  the  good  females  of 
the  families  greatly  outnumber  the  good  males  yet 
the  owner  of  the  horse  fondly  imagines  his  stallion 
will  make  a  good  sire.  And  when  he  has  been  mated 
with  a  lot  of  mares  bred  on  much  the  same  lines  as 
himself,  and  proves  a  rank  failure,  they  wonder  why 
it  was  thus.  My  idea,  based  upon  history,  is  that  a 
good  sire  must  come  from  a  tried  sire  line  and 
be  from  a  mare  full  of  "sire  blood."  such  as  is  shown 
in  the  preceding  table.  The  longer  the  list  of  suc- 
cessful sires  that  can  be  traced  in  the  male  line 
straight  through  the  better,  and  if  it  goes  clear  to 
Eclipse,  Herod  or  Matchem  without  a  failure  in  the 
line,  you  can  bet  upon  its  being  the  one  to  "tie  to." 
If  the  mate  of  the  above  mentioned  stallion  is  equally 
strong  in  "female  blood"— that  is,  possesses  as  many 
crosses  from  the  second  table  as  the  stallion  did  from 
the  first— the  result  should  be  a  good  balance  and  a 
high-class  nicer— if  all  the  other  details  of  the  mating 
are  carried  out  as  carefully. 

Will  Mr.  Baldwin,  who  knows  he  has  a  speed  marvel 
in  Cruzados,  be  the  man  to  revive  the  glories  of  the 
kingdoms  of  Lexington,  Boston,  Sir  Archy  and  Diomed 
by  providing  suitable  mates  for  the  best  race  horse 
of  the  line  to-day?  Let  us  hope  he  will,  and  that  with 
the  rebuilding  of  the  fortunes  of  the  Diomed  family 
will  come  a  rehabilitation  of  the  Santa  Anita  stud, 
once  the  wonder  of  Americans  and  the  particular 
pride  of  Californians.

Conducted    by    J.    X.    Be  WITT. 


FLASHLIGHT    PHOTOGRAPHS    OF    BIG    GAME. 

iventurous  feat  which  seems  almost  impossi- 
accomplishment,  that  of  photographing  wild 
animals  in  their  lairs  and  runways  by  flashlight  in 
the  jungles  and  on  the  veldts  of  Africa,  has  been  suc- 
y  undertaken  by  Herr  C.  G.  Schillings  of 
Wetherhoff,  Guerzenich,  Germany.  Not  only  has  Mr. 
Schillings    -  b      iring  actual   photographs 

of  the  most  ferocious  game  animals  which  are  to  be 
found  on  the  dark  continent  but  he  has  written  a 
fascinating  description  of  his  adventures,  which  work 
n  recently  published  in  Germany.  So  valuable 
book,  both  as  an  up-to-date  contribution  to 
natural  history  and  as  an  intensely  interesting-  story 
for  sportsmen,  that  an  American  edition,  entitled 
-With  Flashlight  and  Rifle,"  has  just  been  "published 
by  Harper  and  Eros.  In  translating  the  work  of  Mr. 
Schillings.  Henry  Zick,  Ph.  D..  has  adhered  as  close- 
iv  us  possible  to  the  original,  preserving  the  fresh- 
ness and  virility  of  the  author's  touch,  and  the  result 
is  one  of  the  most  thrilling  and  sensational  books  de- 
scriptive of  aboriginal  conditions  in  Africa  that  have 
appeared  in  recent  years. 

he  purpose  of  securing  views  and  photographs 
of  animals,  which  in  a  few  years  approximately  will 
be  extinct,  the  author  undertook  his  journey  into  the 
heart  of  Africa.  Not  being  an  artist,  nor,  as  he 
says  having  the  facility  of  the  descriptive  writer, 
he*  decided  that  the  only  way  accurate  reproductions 
of  savage  beasts  and  their  habits  could  be  obta.ned 
was  by  means  of  the  flashlight  and  telephotography. 
He  points  out  that  photographs  purporting  to  be  of 
wild  beasts  in  their  native  state  and  habitats  have 
been  gross  pictorial  falsehoods.  Commenting  on  this 
he  refers  to  a  "magazine,  which  has  a  large  circula- 
tion, in  which  I  found  the  picture  of  a  lion  attacking 
a  zebra,  that  had  been  taken,  as  the  text  implied,  by 
a  missionary  in  Eastern  Africa." 

Then  in  the  text  referred  to  one  missionary  is  said 
to  have  taken  other  scenes  of  animal  life  at  closest 
range— for  instance,  a  lion  watching  for  his  prey. 
The  truth  is  that  the  missionary  had  been  incor- 
porated into  the  picture  group  to  make  it  more  ac- 
ceptable to  the  people  at  home.  The  group  of  animals 
was  simply  made  up  of  stuffed  specimens  picked  up 
on  ihe  veldt  To  cap  the  climax  of  fraudulent  repre- 
sentation, the  stuffed  zebra  used  by  the  ingenious 
picture  fakir  belonged  to  a  species  which  has  dis- 
appeared from  East  Africa  and  can  only  be  found  in 
South  Africa. 

Mr.  Schillings'  first  expedition  into  Central  Africa 
was  in  1S96  and  there  the  initial  desire  w~as  born 
within  him  to  permanently  fix  the  powerful  and 
glorious  imperssions  he  had  received  and  to  pass  them 
on  to  others.  He  undertook  two  other  expeditions, 
but  turned  back  on  account  of  illness  and  it  was  only 
when  he  started  upon  his  fourth  journey,  with  a  com- 
plete  outfit,  that  his  most  sanguine  expectations  met 
with  anything  like  satisfactory  realization.  Mr. 
Schillings  arrived  at  Tanga.  East  Africa,  early  in 
February,  1903,  with  a  caravan  consisting  of  liO 
carriers  and   Askari   (native  guards).     The  first  stop 


which  was  receding  as  the  dry  season  advanced; 
and,  again,  the  rhinoceros  returned  nightly  from  the 
steppes  to  the  drinking  place  near  the  swamps;  and 
antelopes,  water  bucks,  wart  hogs  and  buffaloes 
drew  near  to  the  swampy  region." 

In  this  sportman's  paradise  the  author  secured  at 
night  many  views  of  zebras  and  antelope,  and  also 
pictures  of  the  rhinoceros,  showing  various  interest- 
ing doings  of  this  ponderous  and  dangerous  beast. 
The  writer  devotes  an  entire  chapter  of  his  book  to 
the  giraffe,  of  which  long  necked  denizen  of  the  lake 
region    he    secured    numerous    excellent    photographs. 


RHINO  BROS     ii  EDING    AT    NIGHT 


Of   the 


on  the  shores  of  the-  NdjirJ 
■•  of  the  Kilimanjara 
This  district  Is  noted  as  a  rendezvous  for 
animals  of  all  kinds.  Mr.  Schillings  describes  it  as 
follows: 

which  live  near  the  swamps  and  rivers 

fine    crop   of   water   plants,    filled   with 

seeds,   floating  on   the  lakes   of  the   Ndijtrl   swamps. 

Immense  flocks  of  .   ducks  squatted   on   the 

l  Is      of     gnus   and    zebras 

pressed   up  to   the  shores  of  the   lakes,   the  water  of 


hunter.  There  is  a  strange  fascination  in  following 
the  traces  of  wild  beasts  into  the  fastnesses  of  the 
steppe;  in  the  case  of  my  tracking  the  fourteen 
lions  this  eagerness  was  alloyed  with  a  goodly 
amount  of  anxiety.  One's  imagination  loves  to 
picture  the  possible  situations  which  the  pursuit  of 
the  beasts  may  bring  about  So  did  mine  on  that 
occasion.  Having  reached  the  top  of  a  hill,  I  saw 
the  lions  resting  among  the  rocks  in  the  shade 
of  some  locust  trees.  But,  alas! —  or  should  I  not 
rather  say  fortunately? — the  animals  withdrew  from 
sight  as  soon  as  they  had  become  aware  of  me. 
I  often  had  to  register  similar  experiences  that  the 
lions  were  so  near  and  yet  too  far. 

"The  worst  stroke  of  ill  luck,  from  a  huter's  point 
of  view.  I  had  was  when  I  failed  to  kill  the  strongest 
maned  lion  I  ever  met  with  in  the  wilderness.  One 
day,  while  stalking  water  bucks,  I  saw  an  animal 
hiding  in  the  bushes.  Soon  I  made  it  out  to  be  a 
maned  lion  of  unusual  size.  He  had  scented  me  ana 
galloped  away  before  I  could  take  good  aim.  The 
bullet   I   sent   after   him    did   not   miss   him    quite,   as 


A    HEKD    OP    ZEBRAS     STARTLED    BY    FLASHLIGHT 


This  curious  animal  frequents  the  arid  African  plains 
and  is  so  constituted  that  it  does  not  need  to  select 
its  haunts  within  easy  reach  of  drinking  water,  as 
it  can  get  along  for  days  without  water — a  faculty 
tradition  has  credited  the  .camel  with  possessing,  to 
a  degree,  and  which  abstinence  it  seems  is  now  shared 
by  the  African  rubber  neck.  Thus  is  another  belief 
shorn  of  its  patent  to  exclusive  notoriety. 

To  secure  a  picture  of  an  old  bull  giraffe  in  com- 
pany with  two  bull  elephants,  Mr.  Schillings  followed 
the  strangely  assorted  African  "Three  Musketeers" 
for  weeks  before  he  found  the  propitious  moment  for 
the  sun  to  break  through  the  clouds  so  that  he  could 
take  the  much  desired  picture_  He  declares  his  be- 
lief that  giraffes,  which  are  absolutely  mute,  must 
possess  some  kind  of  a  sign  language  by  the  medium 
of  their  tails.  For  in  close  observation  of  their  ways 
it  struck  him,  time  and  again,  that  the  caudal  ap- 
pendages of  these  creatures  were  used  to  wig  wag 
intelligence  of  varied  import  to  each  other.  He  be- 
lieves, that  in  spite  of  protective  laws,  giraffes  will, 
ere  long,  become  extinct  in  Africa,  and  that  on  this 
account  as  many  skins  as  possible  should  be  secured 
for  museums. 

'  I  have  often  found,"  he  writes,  "giraffes  killed  by 
lions  but  I  believe  as  a  rule  it  takes  two  or  more  of 
the  felines  to  stalk  and  overpower  a  full  grown  bull. 
Tet  the  'lion's  ride'  depicted  by  Freiligrath,  the  Ger- 
man poet,  is  a  possible  thing.  Anderson  relates  that 
he  once  saw  a  giraffee  with  a  lion  on  its  back. 

"The  powerful  kick  of  the  bull  giraffe  is  apt  to 
keep  a  lion  at  a  respectful  distance.  The  giraffe  is 
even  able  to  shake  off  his  enemy  and  run  away  from 
him.  Near  the  Grecei  volcano  I  killed  a  bull  with 
many  scars  and  minus  the  tuft  of  his  tail.  The  old 
bulls,  as  a  rule,  are  wary  and  do  not  frequent  the 
drinking  places,  the  natural  hunting  ground  of  the 
lion,  as  often  as  do  the  young  and  the  females. 
Where  other  game  is  plentiful  the  lion  will  leave  the 
giraffe  alone.  Tet  between  the  lion's  tooth  and  the 
small  calibre  rifle  of  the  human  hunter  the  giraffe  will 
not  escape  destruction." 

And  here  we  find  tradition  gets  another  setback, 
for  compartively  few  of  us  ever  knew  or  surmised 
that  the  ungainly  looking  giraffe  could  or  would 
give  battle  to  a  lion — the  supposed  invincible  "king 
of  beasts."  As  a  sprinter  the  giraffe  has  had  a  long 
and  enviable  reputation.  As  a  fighting  quality  he 
evidently  is  now  entitled  to  respectful  recognition. 

The  lion  hunting  adventures  of  the  author  are 
such  as  to  put  Gordon  Cumming  and  other  noted 
African  hunters  of  wild  game  a  little  in  the  shade 
Even  President  Roosevelt's  experiences  in  Colorado, 
in  contrast,  partakes  of  the  conventional.  His  story 
of  one  Hon   hunt  is   quoted: 

"Xever  to  be  forgotten  by  me  are  the  hours  which 
I  spent  in  1899  following  the  track  of  fourteen  lions. 
I  had  never  before  met  such  a  number  of  lions  in 
one  troop.  The  impressions  made  by  the  mighty 
paws  of  the  animals  were  clearly  defined  in  the  fine 
dust  which  covered  the  dry  ground  of  the  steppe, 
an  expressive  writing  for  the  well  trained  eye  of  the 


I  could  see  from  the  bloody  trail.  I  followed  it  for 
a  distance,  but  without  being  able  to  overtake  the 
wounded  beast.  My  men  found  the  carcass  of  a  big 
lion  a  fortnight  later  not  far  from  where  I  had 
wounded  the  lion.  He  had  worked  his  way  into  the 
heart  of  a  thicket  so  that  even  the  vultures  could  not 
get  at  him.  The  flesh  was  almost  completely  eaten 
up  by  maggots.  I  could  only  save  the  skull,  the 
biggest  in  my  collection.  The  defective  teeth  showed 
me  the  lion  was  well  on  in  years.

an  hour  or  more.  The  asses  and  cattle  which  I  used 
as  bait  had  all  been  stung  by  the  poisonous  tsetse 
fly.  The  quick  bite  of  the  feline  simply  shortened 
their  otherwise  slow  and  painful  death.  The  trapped 
and  runaway  lions  had  often  forced  their  way  so 
deep  into  the  thickets  of  reeds  and  grass  and  thorny 
bushes  that  I  had  to  climb  neighboring  trees  so  as 
to  get  a  shot  at  them. 

"Once  I  caught  in  traps  a  whole  family  consisting 
of  three  lionesses  and  six  almost  full  grown  whelps.

four,  and  the  third  night  two. 

"A  lion  born  in  the  wilderness,  but  full  grown  in 
captivity,  can  give  to  the  visitor  of  zoological  gar- 
dens only  a  faint  idea  of  .what  the  "king  of  the 
desert"  really  is  in  a  state  of  liberty,  ruling  the  free, 
great,  wild  steppe. 

The  leopard  has  the  reputation,  and  is  so  pro- 
nounced by  Mr.  Schillings,  of  being  the  most  dan- 
gerous and  formidable  beast  of  prey  in  East  Africa, 
and  his  book  contains  several  snap  shot  pictures 
of  leopards  in  their  native  state.  They  are  often 
hunted  and  slain  by  lions.  Here  is  where  "Spots" 
takes,  from  a  rather  unexpected  quarter,  a  shot 
at  tradition  and  relegates  a  bit  of  popular  belief, 
anent  his  leopardship,  to  the  disillusion  scrap  box 
with  Wm.  Tell's  apple  and  the  like. 

"The  leopard  has  no  decided  preference  for  any 
special  locality,"  says  Mr.  Schillings.  "Its  haunts 
may  be  found  anywhere — on  rocky  ground  as  well  as 
in  wooded  districts — in  fact,  wherever  it  finds  suffi- 
cient cover. 

"It  easily  climbs  trees,  and  often  hides  during  a 
hot  day  in  their  shady  tops.  To  my  personal  knowl- 
edge men  were  jumped  on  and  killed  by  beasts  con-

cealed  in  the  foliage — as  in  the  case  of  a  negro,  for 
instance,  who  was  .about  to  climb  a  mango  tree 

"The  lightinglike  rapidity  with  which  a  leopard 
moves,  charging  or  running  away,,  defies  description. 
Although  these  animals  are  found  in  abundance,  they 
are  cunning  and  sneaky.  According  to  my  diary, 
I  encountered  and  hunted  the  dangerous  cat  only 
twelve  times,  but  the  meetings  were  as  exciting  as 
any  I  had  with  the  wild  beasts  of  the  wilderness. 

"One  of  the  most  blood-stirring  adventures  I  had 
with  a  leopard  was  near  Pangani,  when  I  set  out 
on  my  jeourney  into  the  interior  in  1899.  I  had 
gone  back  to  town,  accompanied  by  but  one  man,  in 
order  to  engage  more  carriers.  Returning  toward 
evening  to  my  camp,  my  attention  was  drawn  to  a 
tree  on  which  a  crowd  of  baboons  were  skrieking" 
with  all  their  might.  Since  monkeys  are  preyed  on 
by  the  leopard,  I  concluded  that  the  baboons  were 
directing  their  wrath  against  one  of  the  stealthy 
cats  in  a  nearby  thicket.  I  penetrated  a  few  feet 
into  the  jungle,  when  something  ahead  of  me  began 
to  move,  while  the  monkeys  followed  on  in  the  tops 
of  the  trees.  The  thicket  grew  less  dense,  and  I 
soon  found  myself  en  the  edge  of  a  ravine,  when  I 
saw,  about  ninety  feet  away,  a  strong  leopard  drag- 
ging a  half- grown  baboon.  I  raised  my  rifle,  but 
before  I  could  fire  the  beast  had  dropped  the  monkey 
and  escaped  with  a  mighty  leap  into  the  ravine.  J 
was  sorry  to  be  forced  to  desist  from  pursuing  it,  but 
I  had  to  return  to  camp 

"It  is  very  hard  to  hit  a  fleeing  leopard;  it  surely 
is  better  for  the  hunter  to  miss  the  beast  than 
merely  to  wound  it.  A  wounded  leopard  is  a  most 
dangerous  enemy  when  it  turns  and  charges  the 
hunter;  its  movements,  quick  as  lightning,  hardly 
allow  one  to  take  aim.  Although  I  knew  this  from 
personal  experience,  and  although  I  had  made  up 
my  mind  to  shoot  leopards  only  under  favorable  con- 
ditions. I  -  always  yielded  to  the  temptation  when- 
ever I   got  a  chance   to   shoot. 

"On  one  occasion  my  foolhardiness  brought  me 
within  an  inch  of  losing  my  life.  I  noticed  in  the 
sand  of  the  steppe  the  tracks  of  a  leopard  dragging 
its  prey.  They  led  me  to  the  high  bank  of  a  ravine 
washed  out  by  rain.  I  went  all  around  it  and  found 
the.  animal  had  not  left  it.  Soon  I  made  out  the 
leopard  lying  with  its  prey,  a  small  antelope,  in  a 
hole  under  the  roots  of  a  tree.  But  the  beast  had 
noticed  me  also.  Leaving  its  prey  behind,  the  leop- 
ard tried  to  steal  away;  at  the  same  moment  I  fired. 
A  trail  of  blood  proved  that  I  had  hit  the  animal  but 
had  not  killed  it  Going  along  the  high  and  steep 
embankment,  I  noticed  the  beast  cowering,  half  hid- 
den by  the  roots  of  a  tree.  The  distance  between  us 
was  about  seventy-five  feet.  "What  happened  now 
was  enacted  much  more  quickly  than  it  takes  time 
to  describe  it. 

"At  the  same  moment  that  I  raised,  my  rifle  to  fire 
a  telling  shot,  the  leopard  leaped  toward  me  quick 
as  a  flash  of  lightning.  I  saw  the  beast  clawing  the 
edge   of  a  ravine  and   almost   touching  my   feet,   and 


felt  that  there  was  no  escape  possible,  and  no  de- 
fense either,  wheiv  the  leopard  jumped  back  into 
the  ravine  as  quickly  as  it  had  attacked  me.  The 
sight  of  my  two  native  companions,  who  put  in  an 
appearance  near  me  just  at  that  moment,  appar- 
ently had  scared  the  animal  as  much  as  its  sudden 
appearance  had  staggered  my  men.  Although  I  did 
not  lose  my  presence  of  mind,  I  did  not  have  time 
enough  to  raise  my  rifle  and  to  shoot  it;  it  all  hap- 
pened in  a  few  seconds.  A  few  minutes  later  a  well 
aimed  shot  freed  us  of  all  further  danger. 

"Never  shall  I  forget  this  experience.  I  can  even 
now  hear  the  short  snarls  of  the  infuriated  beast.  I 
was  saved  through  no  skill  or  bravery  of  mine,  but 
by  mere  luck  "

PASADENA  SHOW. 


MRS.   CHAS.    REID   THORBURN'S   CH.    MEG    MER- 
RILLIES    II. 


(A.   K.   C.   Stud  Book,   S2.267.) 


The  year  1905  has  been  a  particularly  memorable 
one  in  the  annals  of  dogdom  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 
Among  the  champions  to  which  we  refer  with  par- 
donable local  pride  is  the  crock  Bull  Terrier,  Meg 
Merrilies  II,  owned  by  Mrs.  Charles  Reid  Thorburn 
of  Berkeley.  This  grand  bitch  is  of  San  Francisco 
production  and  together  with  Frank  E.  Watkin's 
Ch.  Edgecote  Peer  forms  a  brace  of  Bull  Terriers 
which  would  be  hard  to  equal  in  any  country.  After 
winning  her  championship  points  at  Stockton,  Meg 
Merrilies  was  bred  to  Imp.  Bloomsbury  Baron,  by 
whom  she  whelped  six  white  puppies,  four  dogs,  any 
of  which  may  inherit  the  show  qualities  of  their 
celebrated  mater. 

Meg  began  her  prize  winning  career  as  an  eleven- 
months-old  puppy  at  the  San  Francisco  Show,  May, 
1905,  where,  under  Judge  Thos  Ashton  of  Eng- 
land, she  won  successively  through  all  her  classes, 
taking  winners,  defeating  Edgewopd  Jean  II,  (first 
open,  San  Francisco,  May,  1905.)  a  bitch  which  had 
won  over  the  famous  Ch.  Woodcote  "Wonder.  It  is 
the  intention  of  Meg's  owner  to  exhibit  her  on  the 
Eastern  circuit,  where  her  progress  will  be  watched 
with  much  interest  by  Pacific  Coast  Bull  Terrier 
fanciers. 

Following  is  a  partial  list  of  Meg's  wins:

How    Shasta    Was    Named. 

The  word  Shasta  is  derived  from  the  Russian  lan- 
guage. Many  years  ago,  and  among  the  first  travelers 
to  visit  this  portion  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  was  a  party 
of  Russians  who  passed  through  California,  going  from 
the  north  to  the  south.  They  gave  a  name  to  many 
of  the  more  prominent  landmarks  which  they  encoun- 
tered on  their  journey.  To  the  peak  now  called  Shasta 
Butte,  a  mountain  clothed  with  eternal  snow,  the 
highest  in  California,  they  gave  the  name  of  '  Tcheste," 
signifying  chaste,  pure,  clear.  Subsequent  travelers 
and  geographers  changed  the  name  to  "Tchasta," 
which  was  again  changed  after  a  discovery  of  gold, 
to  the  present  word  'Shasta."  When  the  counties  of 
the  state  were  first  organized  Shasta  Butte  was  in 
Shasta  county.  Afterwards  a  new  county  was  formed, 
Siskiyou,  which  embraces  the  lofty  mountain  within 
its  boundaries. 


(By  George  L.  "Waring.) 


The  first  dog  show  held  at  Pasadena  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Southwestern  Kennel  Club  compares  favor- 
ably with  any  other  shows  on  the  Coast,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  San  Francisco  and  Los  Angeles  shows. 

Some  of  the  arrangements  could  be  improved  upon 
on  a  future  occasion.  The  judging  ring  could  be 
larger  and  could  also  be  kept  clearer.  Mr.  Morris  and 
Mr.  C.  A.  Summer  got  through  their  duties  as  judges 
without  much  interference,  but  when  it  came  to  Mr. 
Ewins'  turn  he  seemed  to  be  considerably  hampered 
by  people  who  crowded  into  the  ring.  There  might 
also  be  an  official  to  take  down  the  awards  from 
the  judges,  and  hand  them  out  to  interested  parties. 

The  judges  were  all  local  gentlemen  and  they  did 
very  well  W.  J.  Morris  opened  the  ball  with  Rough 
St.  Bernards.  Prince  Yan,  the  only  one  in  the  novice 
dog  class,  walks  well,  has  a  good  carriage  of  tail,  a 
nice,  typical  head  and  is  well  put  together.  He  is 
somewhat  lacking  in  coat,  but  this  remark  applies 
to  all  the  others  except  Vanderburg.  Prince  Yan  de- 
servedly went  through  all  the  rough  dog  classes.  Van- 
derburg is  coarse  and  has  a  bad  expression;  and 
Bruce  has  a  curly  tail  and  bad  color. 

Queen  Regent,  the  winner  in  rough  open  bitches,  is 
a   nice   typical   St.   Bernard,   but  was   shown   in   poor 


J.     M.    GOLOBECK'S    Ce.     CATO,     JR     81039 

condition.  She  beat  Betsy  B.  rather  in  head,  other- 
wise there  was  not  much  between  them.  Sir  Violet, 
which  won  in  smooth  dogs,  was  also  in  bad  condition. 
He  has  a  really  fine  head,  good  bone,  good  body,  but 
his  tail  is  somewhat  curly. 

The  Great  Danes  were  a  bad  lot.  Isabellita  is  a 
Dane  all  right  and  has  good  points.  Her  rather  shal- 
low chest  mars  her  appearance. 

Red  Irish  Setters,  with  the  exception  of  Shandon 
Ben,  were  somewhat  coarse;  and  Pointers,  except  Bee 
III.  did  not  amount  to  much. 

Don  B.  won  in  Pointer  novice,  limit,  open  and  win- 
ners dogs.  He  is  a  fair  kind  of  a  dog,  possessing  a 
good  body  but  a  rather  thick  head.  Bee  III  is  a  nice 
bitch;  she  might  be  better  in  head  and  eyes.  She 
did    not    show    to    advantage. 

Shandon  Ben  carried  all  before  him  in  Irish  setters. 
He  is  a  very  good  dog  and  shows  himself.  Bess  Law 
is  a  good  mover  and  a  nice  bitch. 

The  features  of  the  Collie  classes  were  the  general 
prevalence  of  bad  open  coats,  and  the  timid  manner 
in  which  they  all  exhibited  themselves,  except  the 
ones  that  were  no  account.  I  liked  a  puppy  bitch, 
Vern  the  Whirlwind,  the  best  of  the  lot.  Though  Vern 
Tottie  has  repeatedly  won,  I  don't  care  for  her  much. 
She  has  an  inane  expression,  nearly  always  pricks  her 
ears,  has  an  open  coat,  and  is  small. 

Fox  Terriers  were  numerically  good,  but,  with  some 
exceptions,  not  very  classy.  Mr.  Chas.  A.  Sumner 
judged    the    classes 

In  smooth-coated  puppy  dogs,  Bandersnatch  had  an 
easy  win.  He  is  very  self-possessed  for  a  puppy, 
shows  well,  has  the  best  head  of  any  of  the  Fox  Ter- 
riers shown,  stands  well  and  has  a  good  back.  Little 
fault  can  be  found  with  him,  except  that  he  might 
grow  too  much.  However,  his  grandsire,  Norfolk 
Trueman,  which  carried  all  before  him  about  five 
years  ago,  was  a  big  dog. 

The  credit  of  breeding  this  nice  puppy  is  due  to 
Mr.  John  Brown  of  Riverside. 

Snorky,  the  second  dog.  is  a  nice  fellow  with  a  good 
coat  and  a  fine,  deep  chest.  His  head  is  thick  and 
he  does  not  carry  his  ears. 

The  best  average  breed  in  the  show  was  Bull  Ter- 
riers. Only  seven  specimens  were  benched  and  of  these 
five  were  real  good  ones.  Willamette  Edgecote  Lean- 
der  has  a  long  enough  .name  and  is  a  nice  dog  all 
round  except  his  tail,  which  is  too  elevated.  Tedcote 
Wonder  and  Woodlawn  Baron  had  a  hard  tussle.  The 
former  won.  They  are  both  particularly  good  in  all 
points,  but  I  preferred  the  Baron,  because  he  is  more 
classy  and  has  a  better  crop.  I  consider  this  a  par- 
ticularly fine  dog,  with  a  short  back,  splendid  tail, 
good  ribs,  a  fine  carriage,  and  a  nice  head.  All  in  all. 
the  two  are  exceptionally  fine  dogs,  and  will  be  heard 
from  again  and  again.  It  is  a  pity  that  Deacon  does 
not  carry  his  ears  better,  as  in  all  other  respects  he 
is  a  good  all-round  dog-  Willamette  Newmarket  Lulu 
is  a  particularly  fine  bitch  puppy.  Her  tail  at  present 
looks  a  trifle  thick,  but  this  can  easily  be  remedied  on 
the  next  occasion.  These  together  formed  a  fine  quin- 
tette.

against  Bill  Sykes  and  beat  him. 

Princess  of  Trebizcn  'e  was  the  limit  winner  in  the 
hitch  class.  She  was  the  only  one  entered.  She  was 
as  game  and  "sassy"  as  ever 

The  Boston  classes  were  probably  the  best  and  have 
caused  endless  controversy — there  were  a  lot  of  fine 
specimens  on  exhibition.  Mr.  James  Ewins  judged  the 
classes.  Wednesday  evening  and  after  the  dust  of 
battle  cleared  away  there  was,  undoubtedly,  some 
heart  burnings. 

There  might  have  been  mistakes  made,  but  unfor- 
tunately, everybody  cannot  win. 

There  was  a  good  deal  of  criticism  about  the  Boston 
a  cards.  I  feel  sorry  for  a  Boston  judge,  anyway.' 
These  dogs  seem  to  be  of  several  different  types — all 
winning  ones — and  it  is  generally  known  that  they 
do  not  come  "true  to  name,"  as  the  nursery  men  say. 
It  is  said  that  Criterion — the  dog  that  won  all  his 
sex  classes — is  deaf.  He  is  a  real  good  dog,  carries 
himself  well,  has  a  good  head  and  deserved  what  he 
got. 

Miss  Pronto  also  went  through  her  classes  with  fly- 
ing colors  and  also  beat  the  dog,  in  the  competition 
for  the  cup  presented  by  Colonel  J  W.  Brooks  for 
the  best  Boston  in  the  show. 

Colonel  Brooks  has  several  good  dogs  and  they  will 
win  in  the  future.  There  is  one  especially  that  was 
entirely  overlooked.  They  were  in  bad  shape,  having 
lately  been  on  a  long  journey  from  the  East. 

Bayside  Chauncey  was  present,  but  not  for  compe- 
tition. Fanciers  In  this  part  of  the  world  should 
have  examined  this  dog,  as  he  is  pretty  near  a  model 
in  l  if  he  is  right,  a  great  many  prize  win- 
r  i  this  show  tire  wrong.  A  very  distinctive  char- 
acteristic of  the  right  kind  of  this  breed  is  a  flat 
.skull  and  a  short,  square  muzzle,  free  from  wrinkles. 
There  are  too  many  tipple  heads  in  this  neck  of  the 
woods.  Another  important  point  is  a  clean  neck,  free 
from  bulliness.  Without  a  good  neck  it  is  impossible 
to  have  a  goo  i  outlook,  which  is  of  great  importance 
in  a  show  ring. 

The  show   was  a   pronounced  success,  especially  in 
a  ncial  way.

The  dogs  come  in  for  trouble  in  due  course,  for  dogs 
in  country  towns  have  a  habit  of  roaming  off  for  miles 
into  the  country.  Many  of  these  dogs  have  a  bad 
nabit  of  killing  sheep  also.  Incidentally  the  rancher 
is  somewhat  indifferent  to  the  fate  of  strange  dogs 
around  his  place,  for  generally  their  presence  bodes 
nothing  but  mischief.  Furthermore,  the  report  of 
shotgun  or  ride  and  the  finding  of  a  dead  dog  is  some- 
times productive  of  more  or  less  ill  feeling  and  con- 
troversy between  neighbors  or  others  concerned.  One 
dog  will  bring  more  dogs  with  him.  Instances  are 
known  where  one  or  two  dogs  have  killed  sheep  and 
have  returned  to  the  scene  on  the  following  day  or 
night  with  a  number  of  other  dogs,  the  whole  pack 
intent  on   further  depredation. 

In  prowling  about  the  ranches  the  dogs  pick  up 
the  cracklings,  the  poison  pieces  are  bolted  and  the 
small,  hard  ball  of  deadly  fat  lays  in  the  dog's  stom- 
ach until  dissolved  in  process  of  digestion.  Before 
digestion  takes  place  there  is  ample  time  for  the 
luckless  dogs  to  journey  miles  back  to  town  and  to 
their  hemes.  When  the  poison  acts  and  the  dog  or 
dogs  die  at  home,  the  presumption  is  that  the  "dog 
poisoner"  is  at  his  nefarious  work  and  great  is  the 
row  kicked  up. 

In  view  of  this  custom  of  putting  out  poison  on 
ranches  it  would  be  advisable  for  careless  owners  to 
keep  their  dogs  from  roaming  in  the  country  dis- 
tricts. Most  ranchers  post  poison  notices  when  they 
lay  out  coyote  dope  This  precaution  is  all  right 
when  one's  dog  is  out  with  him,  but  when  the  dogs

Sad  and   Pathetic. 

It  must  be  anything  but  pleasant  reading  to  owners 
of  kennels  of  the  breed  in  England  to  find  that,  so  near 
as  Paris, '  poodles,  served  up  in  various  ways,  have 
been  made  to  take  the  place  of  mutton  at  some  cheap 
restaurants.  A  gang  of  dog-stealers  has  evidently 
been  busy  in  the  capital  of  France  purloining  poodles 
for  the  purpose  of  slaughtering  and  dressing  their 
flesh  for  food.  These  people,  from  information  re- 
ceived by  the  police,  apear  to  have  made  a  profitable 
business  out  of  the  game.  Ladies  have  been  the  chief 
sufferers,  the  authorities  having  received  a  large  num- 
ber of  complaints  on  account  of  their  dogs  having 
been  stolen,  with  the  result  that  the  gang  has  been 
captured,  and  some  of  the  dog-stealers  are  being 
prosecuied.  No  reason  appears  to  have  been  given 
why  poodles  should  be  more  tasty  than  any  other 
ladies'  pet  dog.— Exchange. 

What  would  be  the  effect,  for  instance,  should  one 
who  had  dined  on  poodle  call  on  the  owner  of  the 
lost  dog?  Would  "his  master's  voice"  he  potent  enough 
for  the  dog's  vocal  response  or  its  appearance? 


Dogs    in    Quail    Hunting. 

The  dog  is  the  best,  the  real  quail  hunter.  Without 
him  one  may  tramp  far  and  score  little.  It  is  a  beau- 
liful  spectacle  t'>  watch  when  perfectly  trained  dogs 
are  "working"  in  field  or  jungle.  It  almost  reconciles 
the  tender  hearted  to  killing  birds.  The  dogs  look 
so  reproachful  if  one  fails  to  take  instant  advantage 
of  their  set  or  point.  "What  are  you. here  for?"  the 
eyes  say  as  plainly  as  possible.  No  shooting  and  bad 
marksmanship  alike  demoralize  a  trained  dog,  who 
makes  his  scorn  reach  your  Inmost  soul.  .\i  the  same 
time  it  must  he  said  that  an  untrained  dog  is  more  to 
be  despised  than  a  bad  marksman  The  lattei 
improve,   but   the  former  never.

DUCK    HUNTING    CLUBS. 


The  numerous  gun  clubs  whose  shooting  preserves 

are   looted  on  th<         -  marsh   stretches  of  the 

unties  districts  are  more  or  less  familiar  to  our 

■    notices    for   many   sea- 

ging  in   the  sport  are   by 

I  to  this  vicinity,  and  in  every  dis- 

■  the  state,  where  there  is  a  possibility  for  either 

quail  or  duck  shooting,  gun  clubs  have  been  organized 

s    .  The  present  situation  is  the 

that   will  eventually  make  it 

ingly    difficult    for    the   independent   shooter    to 

follow   the  bent   of  his  inclination  for  field  or  marsh 

shooting  a.1  shooters,  there  will  always  be  the 

waters  of  the  bay  at   their  disposal,  luckily. 

The    Sacramento    and    Yolo    basin    tule    districts    are 

■  ting  territory:    much   of  the  avail- 
able ground  has  already  been  secured.    What  the  con- 

-  are  up  the  river  is  here  shown  in  a  description 
of  two  gun  clubs'  holdings: 

Of  the  various  organizations  formed  for  pursuit  of 
ducks,  though  not  exclusively  devoted  to  that  object, 
perhaps  the  most  prominent  in  the  vicinity  of  Sacra- 
mento is  the  Glide  Gun  Club,  organized  in  August. 
1903.  by  twelve  residents  of  Sacramento,  merchants 
and  professional  men.  For  two  seasons  the  fortunate 
hunters  enrolled  in  its  ranks  have  returned  laden  with 
an  abundance  of  game  and  a  fund  of  hunting  stories 
amply  sufficient  to  last  until  the  next  annual  migra- 
tion of  the  birds  from  the  north. 

The  Glide  Club  has  leased  about  11.000  acres  of  land 
in  the  Yolo  basin,  known  as  the  sink  of  Putah  creek, 
its  eastern  boundary  being  about  four  miles  from  the 
Sacramento  river  and  the  preserve  stretching  to- 
ward the  foothills  on  the  west.  The  main  club  house 
is  located  about  eight  miles  from  Sacramento,  and  is 
reached  in  a  drive  of  forty  minutes.  The  other  is 
about  three  miles  distant,  and  is  located  on  the  oppo- 
site side  of  a  great  tule  marsh  that  affords  the  best 
sport.  Recently  limit  bags  were  made  on  this  section 
in  55  minutes'  shooting.  Each  structure  has  a  bunk- 
house,  dining  room  and  kitchen,  and  is  capable  of  fur- 
nishing acoemmodation  for  about  thirty  hunters 
They  are  cosy  cottages,  and  there  is  a  barn  adjacent 
to  each,  where  teams  may  be  stabled 

Members  visit  the  place  in  summer  as  well  as  win- 
ter, for  the  reason  that  splendid  black  bass  fishing  is 
to  be  had  in  the  lakes  and  ponds,  and  the  clubmen 
organize  blue  rock  picnics  when  the  fishing  ends. 

There  has  been  upward  of  $3000  spent  in  visible  im- 
provements during  the  past  two  years,  and  this  ex- 
pense has  been  "borne  by  the  members,  in  addition  to 
the  cost  of  maintenance  and  the  rent  for  the  grounds. 
The  club  is  supported  by  annual  assessments,  and  the 
books  will  show  that  the  hunters  pay  a  stiff  price  for 
their  winter  recreation.  It  is  said  that  some  of  them 
could  pay  $5  in  the  market  for  every  duck  they  se- 
cure through  their  membership  and  still  make  money, 
but  this  is  true  only  of  those  who  have  time  or  inclina- 
tion to  go  duck  shooting.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  each 
member  of  the  Glide  Club  spends  upward  of  $150  per 
year  for  his  sport,  and  that  none  of  them  consider  it 
an  excessive  charge. 

The  limit  of  membership  in  this  club  is  now  forty- 
five,  and  there  are  four  vacancies,  which,  will  be 
filled  this  winter.  Edward  P.  Hilborn  is  the  president 
and  Frank  Hickman  the  secretary  and  treasurer.  The 
executive  committee  cons'sts  of  these  two  and  E.  D 
Adams.  J.  P.  Snook  and  H.  E.  Yardley. 

The  present  membership  includes  Fred  Adams.  J.  F.

Hack  of  Clarksburg,  down  the  river  from  Sacra - 
is  the  Big  Lake  country,  consisting  of  aboui 
6000  acres  and  extending  south.  The  tule  potato,  the 
favorite  food  of  the  mallards,  abounds  throughout  this 
and  the  mallards  settle  there  by  the  thou- 
sands. It  is  hunted  by  land  owners  and  farmers  of  the 
vicinity,  many  of  whom  ship  to  the  markets.

ng  almost   to   Rio  Vista.     Mal- 
lard   ducks    are    found    in    greatest    quantities    below 
Clarksburg,  owing  to  the  quantity  of  food  most  ac- 
ceptable to  this  variety. 

In    some    respects     1       Mallard    Club   is  one   of  the 

i lei    organizations   of  America.     A.   W    Stewart,   a

Members  are  allowed  to  use  fifty  shells  a   day  and 
no  more.    There  Is  no  shooting  permitted  before  sun- 
rise or  after  sunset,  in  s  half-hour  clause  in

A  man  unfamiliar  with  the  duck-club  progress  in 
the  South  will  be  to  learn  that  where  three 

■  ing  land  below  Westminster,  there 


is  now  not  less  than  nine  different  preserves,  running 
all  the  way  up  to  420  acres  each,  containing  as  many 
as  twenty-five  members  apiece,  either  established  or 
in  process  of  establishment,  representing  an  average 
value  in  excess  of  $100  an  acre.  These  preserves  have 
all  been  made  within  the  last  three  sasons,  and, 
strange  to  say.  each  and  every  one  of  them  has  had 
first  class  sport  from  the  beginning. 

The  number  of  new  clubs  that  are  in  the  field  this 
season  is  surprising,  and  nearly  all  seem  to  be  enjoy- 
ing good  sport. 

In  some  favored  sections,  clubs  have  been  started  al 
a  week's  notice,  land  bought,  and  limit  bags  made 
within  a  month  after  the  papers  passed.  California 
may  be  slow  in  some  things,  but  certainly  not  in  de- 
veloping her  sporting  resources. 

Five  years  ago  there  were  two  clubs  operating  south 
of  the  Alamitos — that  is  to  say,  clubs  of  any  conse- 
quence. They  were  the  Bolsa  Chiea  and  the  New- 
port. 

The  Lomita  Land  and  Water  Company.  Westminis- 
ter Land  and  Water  Company,  Golden  West  Gun 
Club,  Christopher  Land  and  Water  Company,  Blue 
Wing  Gun  Club,  Chico  Land  and  Water  Company, 
were  killing  limits  several  weeks  ago,  and  in  thirty 
days  there  will  in  all  probability  be  thrown  open  to  the 
investing  public  other  propositions  of  the  same  sort. 

These  clubs  own  their  land,  and  incorporated  as 
land  and  water  companies  to  develop  water  and  be 
protected  therein.  Flowing  artesian  wells  flood  the 
ponds  in  a  few  weeks  and  keep  the  water  sweet,  this 
being  the  secret  undoubtedly  of  the  great  success  thus 
far  enjoyed  by  the  Chico  clubs.  The  freshest  ponds 
alway  attract  the  ducks. 

The  last  piece  of  duck  marsh  in  Chico  was  pur- 
chased last  week  for  gun  club  purposes,  and  within 
the  next  two  years  it  is  predicted  that  there  will  be 
a  continuous  chain  of  ponds  from  the  Bolsa  Chica 
to  Almitos  Bay,  forming  a  great  antural  feeding 
ground  and  thoroughfare  for  the  waterfowl  in  which 
they  can  rest  securely  five  days  out  of  the  seven.

nia  duck  clubs  puts  the  number  at  fifty,  which  easily

of  Alamitos  Bay  and  kill  a  few  ducks. 

Bolsa  district — Bolsa  Chica,  Lcmita,  Golden  West, 
Westminster.  Blue  Wing,  Canvasback  Christopher, 
Green  Wing  Land  and  Water  Ccmrany,  Chico, 
and  several  unnamed  propositions. 

Newport  and  Fairview  districts — Ne'wport  Pacific. 
Green  Head.  San  Joaquin  and  two  new  clubs  whose 
names  have  not  been  announced  as  yet. 

M.Miv  of  these  clubs  own  their  own  land  and  are 
able  to  make  such  improvements  as  they  desire  with- 
out worrying  over  being  turned  off  at  the  expiration 
of  their  leases. 

The  Del  Rey  and  Recreation  clubs  in  the  Ballona 
district,  each  expended  about  $10,000  on  their  houses 
alone.  The  Bolsa  Chica  is  the  most  luxuriously  ap- 
pointed of  any;  the  wealthy  members  have  reduced 
their  muscular  exertion  to  a  minimum,  and  each  has 
a  Jap  to  set  out  his  decoys,  carry  his  shells  and  pick 
up  his  dead  birds,  the  house  appointments  being  equal 
to  those  of  a  first-class  hotel. 

Of  clubs  that  own  their  own  land  and  do  not  go  in 


for  more  than  the  necessary  comforts  of  the  game, 
the  average  expense  is  about  $1500,  and  there  are 
usually  about  fifteen  shooters,  though  some  have  as 
high  as  forty  members,  and  a  few  as  low  as  four. 

It  is  estimated  by  persons  fairly  well  qualified  to 
pass  judgment,  that  in  Southern  California's  fifty 
odd  duck  clubs  is  tied  up  a  sum  of  money  considerably 
in  excess  of  a  million  dollars,  and  steadily  increasing 
in  value.  It  is  a  notable  fact  that  although  many  of 
the  clubs  have  paid  what  seemed  a  big  price  for  their 
properties,  not  a  single  instance  has  been  reported 
where  they  could  not  sell  out  now  at  a  profit. 

The  interest  in  duck  shooting  has  grown  to  such  an 
extent  that  many  wealthy  Easterners  who  spend  the 
winters  here  have  taken  memberships  in  local  duck 
clubs,  getting  in  three  or  four  months  of  the  sport 
each  winter  and  enjoying  the  same  advantages  as 
their  brother  gunners  who  live  on  the  scene  the  year 
round. 


THE   WINCHESTER    REPEATING   ARMS   CO. 


Of  the  many  industries  and  manufacturing  estab- 
lishments in  New  Haven  there  is  none  which  em- 
ploys so  large  a  quota  of  the  population  as  the  Win- 
chester Repeating  Arms  Company.  Carrying  on  a 
business  and  a  manufacture,  international  in  its  ex- 
tent, and  which  has  made  the  name  of  New  Haven 
known  all  over  the  world,  in  a  quiet,  yet  consistent 
manner,  it  has  gone  on  year  after  year,  increasing 
in  capacity,  output  and  fame. 

This  great  plant,  covering  as  it  does,  in  all,  some 
two  hundred  and  thirty-five  acres  of  land,  is  un- 
questionably the  largest  manufacturing  establishment 
of  small  arms  and  ammunition  in  the  world.  The 
main  plant  takes  up  about  thirty  acres,  with  at  pres- 
ent over  twenty  acres  of  floor  space.  The  necessity 
for  continued  additions  makes  probable  a  revision  of 
these  figures  in  the  near  future.  Besides  this  area 
mentioned,  the  water  shops  on  Whitney  avenue  (the 
site  of  the  old  Whitney  Arms  Works),  together  with 
the  proving  and  storage  grounds,  go  to  make  up  the 
acreage  first  given. 

The  present  company  was  organized  in  1S66.  The 
personnel  was  made  up  of  Hon.  O.  F.  Winchester,  E. 
A.  Mitchell,  John  English,  J.  A.  Bishop  and  Morris 
Tyler.  After  the  close  of  the  Civil  War,  in  1S66, 
Hon.  O.  F  Winchester,  then  Lieutenant  Governor  of 
Connecticut,  bought  up  the  Henry  rifle  patents,  im- 
proved them  in  many  ways,  and  organized  the  com- 
pany for  the  manufacture  of  this  arm.  The  new 
rifle  was  named  the  "Winchester,"  out  of  compli- 
ment to  the  distinguished  founder  of  the  company. 
"Winchester"  has  since  become  a  household  word 
the  world  over.  Almost  immediately  the  new  company 
was  overwhelmed  with  orders  for  their  famous  rifle. 
Many  of  these  orders  came  from  pioneers  in  the  far 
West  who  were  then  seeking  new  homes  and  de- 
sired such  a  rifle  for  protection  from  foes  and  to  kill 
game  for  their  subsistence — a  dual  and  world-wide 
reputation  the  weapon  has  maintained  in  a  superla- 
tive degree  to  the  present  day.  In  1S69  the  company 
acquired  the  American  Rifle  Company.  The  pur- 
chase included  the  Spencer  Rifle  Company  and  the 
Fogarty  Rifle  Company  of  Boston.  The  Adirondack 
Arms  Company  of  Plattsburg,  N.  Y ,  was  purchased 
in    1S74. 

The  present  officers  of  the  company  are:  President. 
Thos.  G.  Bennett;  vice  president  and  treasurer,  G.  E. 
Hodson;  assistant  treasurer,  H.  S.  Leonard:  secre- 
tary, A.  I.  Ward 

The  various  products  and  inventions  of  the  Win- 
chester Repeating  Arms  Company  have  been  a  ma- 
terial factor  in  revolutionizing  the  manufacture  of 
firearms  and  ammunition  throughout  the  civilized 
world.  While  the  Henry  was  the  first  repeating  rifle 
made,  it  used  rim  fire  cartridges  and  had  also  the 
additional  disadvantage  of  having  to  displace  the 
magazine  in  order  to  fill  it.  This  was  remedied  in 
the  "Winchester  by  the  introduction  of  a  fixed  maga- 
zine. In  1873  center  fire  cartridges  were  used.  No  J 
repeating  rifle  ever  made — or  repeating  shot  gun,  for 
that  matter — has  had  the  remarkable  success  of  the 
Winchester  product,  and  in  fact,  it  may  be  said  with- 
out exaggeration  that  the  same  statement  could  be 
applied  to  the  whole  of  the  Winchester  output,  wheth- 
er repeating  rifles  or  single  shot  rifles,  repeating  shot- 
guns or  ammunition — for  rifles  or  pistols,  metallic 
cartridges  or  shot  gun  shells.  There  is  no  country 
on  the  face  of  the  globe  where  these  goods  are  not 
known,  and  it  is  a  further  fact  that  at  the  present 
time  over  two  million  of  Winchester  guns  are  in  use. 
Only  the  best  materials  go  into  the  guns,  and  each 
arm  is  thoroughly  tested  and  tried,  by  methods  pe- 
culiar to  the  Winchester  company — the  result  of' 
study,  application  and  experience  for  fifty  years.  The 
same  care  and  supervision  is  carried  out  in  regard  to 
ammunition  and  shells.  No  product  of  the  company  is 
allowed  to  leave  the  works  until  thoroughly  proven 
up  to  the  high  standard  that  has  made  the  reputation 
of  Winchester  goods  .second  to  none 

The  various  products  of  the  Winchester  Repeating 
Arms  Company  are  described  in  numerous  catalogues 
and  booklets  that  may  be  procured  by  mail  from  the 
company  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  or  by  addressing  the 
Pacific  Coast  Agency,  127-135  First  street,  San  Fran- 
cisco, 

An  enumeration  of  Winchester  products  would  take 
far  more  space  than  is  available  at  the  present  time.

of  the  fact  that  the  "Leader"  and  other  "Winchester 
shells  are  used  by  premier  amateur  and  professional 
trap  shots  of  the  Coast — and  throughout  the  United 
States  and  Canada  as  well.

street,  this  city.  The  handsome  building  has  a  floor 
space  of  50x150  feet,  is  six  stories  high,  an  emporium, 
large  as  it  is,  that  is  hardly  adequate  for  the  in- 
creasing volume  of  business  handled  by  the  Coast 
branch.  The  agency  was  established  in  this  city 
about  twenty-five  years  ago. 

Mr.  Adolph  Muller,  the  Coast  manager,  has  been  in 
charge  of  affairs  nearly  ten  years  and  is  favorably 
known  to  the  fire  arms  and  ammunition  trade  of  the 
world,  having  made  extended  business  trips  to  Eu- 
rope, Australia,  China,  throughout  the  United  States 
and  Canada,  and  the  Pacific  Coast  territory  in  par- 
ticular. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Seaver,  the  travelling  representative  of 
the  Coast  branch,  is  personally  well  known  and  es- 
teemed by  a  majority  of  Coast  sportsmen,  as  also  is 
George  H.  Lammers,  who  is  located  in  the  northern 
territory,  and  Harry  A.  Hoyt.  Mr.  Chris  Myer  has 
been  connected  with  the  Coast  branch  for  many  years 
and  is  a  rifle  expert  who  has  made  the  Winchester 
rifle  a  feared  and  respected  factor  at  rifle  contests 
for  the  past  two  decades. 


There  are  many  guns  of  many  makes  but  U.  M.  C. 
cartridges  excel  in  all  guns  whether  Remington,  Win- 
chester, Marlin.  Savage,  Stevens  or  any  other. 

In  the  Bridgeport  factory  is  a  sample  gun  of  every 
style  and  caliber,  and  to  these  U.  M.  C.  cartridges  are 
fitted  and  in  them  are  tested.  This  accounts  for  the 
accuracy,  uniformity  and  reliability  of  U.  M.  C. 
cartridges. 

Every  standard  revolver  has  its  U.  M.  C.  cartridge. 
The  U.  M.  C.  armory  is  thoroughly  equipped  with 
revolvers  of  every  style  and  calibre,  and  to  them  U. 
'  M.  C.  cartridges  are  exactly  fitted,  and  in  them  arc 
constantly  tested.  No  matter  what  make  of  revolver 
you  use.  XJ.  M.  C.  cartridges  will  give  superior  results. 
The  U.  M.  C.  Co  guarantees  its  revolver  cartridges 
loaded  with  black  and  smokeless  powder,  as  stated  on 
labels.  U.  M.  C.  quality  makes  this  guarantee  pos- 
sible. 


Christmas   Greeting. 

The  attention  of  our  readers  is  respectfully  request- 
ed to  the  announcements  of  the  E.  I.  DuPont  Powder 
Company  and  the  Lafiin  and  Rand  Powder  Company 
on  the  inside  of  the  back  cover  page. 

Good  wishes  and  a  cordial  holiday  greeting  are  ten- 
dered to  the  sportsmen  of  the  Pacific  Coast  and  of 
the  world,  instead  of  the  usual  business  advertise- 
ment—a recognition  of  the  many  friends  the  powder 
makers  and  their  representatives  have  among  those 
who  go  afield  with  gun  and  dog  and  also  find  recrea- 
tion at  the  traps. 


Variety    for   Sportsmen. 

It  has  been  stated  that  there  are  50,000  sportsmen 
in  the  State  of  California.  If  this  is  true,  there 
must  be  also  a  correspondindly  large  number  of  shot- 
gun users  elsewhere  in  the  Coast  territory. 

This  being  so  the  merits  of  the  Ithaca  gun  must  be 
known  and  liked  by  many,  for  early  this  fall  a  large 
Coast  invoice  had  been  disoosed  of.  Mr.  Phil  B. 
Bekeart,  the  Coast  agent,  wired  us:  "We  are  cleaned 
cut  of  every  12  and  16  gauge  Ithaca  gun.  Can't  you 
rush  us  some.     Everybody  fighting  for  them." 

The  resources  of  our  factory  have  been  pushed  to 
ihe  utmost.  Seventeen  grades  of  guns  is  surely  va- 
riety enough  to  suit  the  wants  and  tastes  of  any 
sportsman.  -Write  for  our  Art  Catalog  and  special

A   Standard   of  Quality. 

Nearly  13,000  cases  of  Selby  Factory  Loaded  Shells 
'  was  the  output  for  last  October  orders  This  was  the 
forerunner  of  a  steady  and  growing  demand  upon  the 
resources  of  the  big  ammunition  plant  of  the  Selby 
Smelting  and  Lead  Company.  The  October  supply 
this  year  was  33%%  in  excess  of  orders  for  October, 
1904  The  demand  for  Selby  Factory  Loaded  Shells 
has  been  increasing  annually— quality  is  the  test,  and 
sportsmen  have  found  the  loads  to  be  what  they 
want.  Since  the  October  output  of  nearly  13,000 
cases,  the  output  has  been  up  to  the  full  capacity  of 
the  plant.  There  are  500  Selby  Factory  Loaded 
Shells  in  each  case;  that  means  almost  six  and  a 
half  millions  of  shells  for  Coast  sportsmen  to  start 
the  hunting  season  with.  These  shells  must  have 
filled  the  bill,  for  the  shooters  have,  like  Oliver  Twist, 
asked  for  more— the  first  taste  merely  whetted  the 
appetite.     Selby  Loads  are  reliable. 

Hiqhest  Honors  to  the  Parker  Gun. 

Parker  Bros.,  Meriden,  Conn.,  have  received  from 
the  Lewis  &  Clark  Centennial  management  a  diploma 
for  gold  medal  awarded  for  their  Hammerless  Gun 
The  award  was  made  to  Parker  Bros  by  the  highest 
jury  of  awards  known  as  the  Superior  Jury  composed 
of  five  of  the  representative  men  of  Portland.  Thus 
the  highest  compliment  was  paid  the  Parker  Gun  by 
the  Centennial  Exposition. 

The  Parker  Gun  is  famous  for  simplicity  of  action, 
beauty  of  outline  and  finish,  and  exceptional  shooting 
and  wearing  qualities. 

In  a  recent  announcement  Parker  Bros,  suggest  to 
sportsmen  the  advisability  of  sending  to  their  ad- 
.  dress,  30  Cherry  street.  Meriden.  Conn.,  for  one  of 
,  their  descriptive  catalogues— the  splendidly  illustrated 
booklet  gives  complete  information  regarding  the  re- 
liable qualities  of  the  Parker  Gun  and  some  practical 
I  hints,  as  well,  that  are  of  interest  to  all  lovers  of  the 
up-to-date  shotgun.

A   Widely    Known    Favorite. 

Remington  guns  are  made  of  selected  material,  after 
an  exhaustive  test  in  the  factory  testing  department, 
which  selected  parts  have  been  proven  best  adapted, 
each  to  its  particular  purpose.  All  of  the  Remington 
firearms  are  carefully  tested  with  a  standard  proof 
test  and  all  parts  are  subjected  to  a  close  detail  in- 
spection  while   in   process. 

After  shooting  for  accuracy,  the  arm  is  then  re- 
quired to  pass  a  final  inspection,  which  is  very  rigid 
and  practically  obviates  the  possibility  of  any  goods 
leaving  the  Remington  works  not  up  to  the  standard. 
Remington  shotguns  are  bored  for  nltro  powder, 
which  can  be  used  with  perfect  safety  when  properly 
and  not  excessively  loaded  by  hand,  or  when  the 
U.  M.  C.  or  other  standard  factory  loaded  ammuni- 
tion is  used 

The  Remington  Arms  Co.  works  at  Ilion,  N.  T.,  cover 
eighteen  acres  of  ground,  and  consist  of  sixty  build- 
ings, the  floor  space  amounting  to  nearly  400.000

Browning  automatic  repeating  shotgun  on  the  market,

An  Old  and  Valued   Friend. 

Do  you  remember  your  first  rabbit,  your  scare  when 
you  flushed  the  first  quail  and  the  time  you  emptied 
the  old  shotgun  at  ducks  200  yards  away? 

U.  M.  C.  ammunition  was  preferred  in  those  old 
days  just  as  it  is  now.  Boys  used  to  ask  for  "U  22s." 
They  do  so  now.  Guide  and  sportsmen  still  take  and 
use  U.  M.  C.  big  game  cartridges  up  North.  They 
find  them  best. 


A   Grand    Record. 

Ballistite  powder  has  been  growing  more  and  more 
in  favor  with  sportsmen  of  the  Pacific  Coast  within 
the  last  year  than  the  most  sanguine  expectations  of 
the  wholesale  and  retail  trade  had  anticipated  For 
field,  marsh  or  trap  shooting  it  has  been  found,  by 
those  who  have  used  it,  to  be  a  powder  once  used, 
used  permanently.  In  the  varied  climatic  conditions 
prevailing  on  the  Coast  the  regularity  and  sameness 
of  the  high  grade  qualities  of  Ballistite  has  made  it 
a  strong  favorite  with  many  sportsmen. 

This  was  conclusively  proven  recently,  for  the  sup- 
ply did  not  equal  the  sudden  increased  demand  and 
the  Coast  agents.  Baker  &  Hamilton,  were  for  the 
time  being  unable  to  fill  the  orders  coming  in  from 
all  points.  An  effort  to  bring  out  a  carload  from 
the  East  was  ineffectual  for  the  reason  that  Eastern 
orders  had  so  increased  that  there  was  a  correspond- 
ingly heavy  draught  on  the  supply. 

Orders  are  a  test  of  quality— hence  the  statement, 
"If  you  use  it  once,  you  will  use  it  again."  is  borne 
out  by  facts.

Peters    Points. 

The  local  sales  for  Peters  Shells  amounted  to 
1,250,000  in  October.  The  Olympic  Arms  Co.  sup- 
plied the  major  portion  of  them  to  sportsmen  residing 
in  San  Francisco  and  its  vicinity.  The  Pacific  Hard- 
ware and  Steel  Company,  San  Francisco,  are  the 
Coast  distributing  agents  for  Peters  Shells  and  Cart- 
ridges. 

During  the  trap  shooting  season  this  year  Peters 
Shells  were  in  high  favor  with  shooters,  who  now  use 
them  for  quail  and  duck  hunting. 

At  Kent,  Ohio,  October  12th.  Mr.  J.  A.  Smith  of 
Massillon.  Ohio,  won  high  average,  and  Mr.  J.  L.

Just    Remember. 

As  much  care  should  be  used  in  securing  the  dimen- 
sions of  a  gun  as  in  measuring  for  a  suit  of  clothes 
A  poor  fit  in  a  gun  is  sure  to  result  in  dissatisfaction 
and  a  low  score;  hence  in  order  to  avoid  the  annoy- 
ance in  consequence  upon  such  results,  a  few  sug- 
gestions are  offered,  which  if  strictly  observed,  will 
be  a  great  help  toward  securing  a  fit  that  is  just  right, 
and  therefore  higher  scores  or  more  birds  in  the  field. 

To  find  the  correct  stock  dimensions,  the  proper 
drop,  kind  of  gun  barrels,  shooting  qualities,  choke, 
etc.,  send  to  the  Hunter  Arms  Co.,  Fulton.  N.  T..  for 
their  latest  catalogue.  The  booklet  is  a  compilation 
of  information  that  no  user  of  a  modern  breech  loader 
can  afford  to  be  without.  The  illustrations  appeal 
strongly  to  the  intelligent  sportsmen.  The  Hunter 
one-trigger  gun  is  fully  described — this  gun  is  war- 
ranted not  to  "balk"  or  "double";  in  fact,  is  a  perfect 
single  trigger  gun.  All  L.  C  Smith  guns  are  guar- 
anteed to  shoot  any  nitro  powder  made  and  not  get 
loose.

RECENT      DISCOVERIES      IN       HEREDITY       AND 
THEIR    BEARINGS   ONJ^NIMAL   BREEDING. 

B5    w.  E.  Castle,  Harvard  University,  Cambridge, 
Mass. 


Every  breeder  is  familiar  with  the  great  complexity 
of  hereditary  processes.  He  knows  that  characters  of 
the  mil  ort  are  inherited.     These  relate  not 

only  to  general  size  and  proportions,  but  also  to  the 
structure  of  individual  parts,  and  not  merely  to  struc- 
tural but  to  functional  peculiarities  as  well.  Thus,  in 
-  or  strains  of  animals,  we  find  inherited 
fecundity,  or  early  maturity  or  ability  to  pu. 
on  fat  or  to  produce  abundant  milk;  in  other  cases 
keen  scent,  fierce  or  gentle  disposition,  and 
numberless  other  characteristics  are  plainly  mhented 
Very  rarely  are  any  two  heritable  traits  necessarily 
ted."  The  co.v  with  a  good  flow  of  milk  may 
or  may  not  be  gentle:  the  keen-scented  dog  may  or 
mav  not  be  speedy.  Accordingly,  we  must  conclude 
that  different  hereditary  characters  are  inherited  in- 
dependently of  each  other,  and  are  probably  repre- 
sented by  different  structural  elements  in  the  sexual 
element  or  germ  We  know,  further,  that  the  law's  of 
transmission  of  different  characters  are  different,  so 
that  we  cannot  estimate  the  force  of  heredity  in  the 
lump  but  must  fix  our  attention  on  one  character  at 
a  time  if  we  wish  to  analyze  the  complex  processes 
in  operation. 

Francis  Gallon  (1SS9)  was  the  first  to  recognize 
that  in  the  case  of  certain  characters  the  result  of 
inheritance  is  a  blend  of  the  conditions  found  in  the 
two  parents,  while  in  other  characters  inheritance 
is  alternative  between  the  condition  found  in  the 
parents.  , 

A  good  illustration  of  blending  inheritance  is  found 
among  rabbits  which  differ  in  size  of  ear.  Lop-eared 
rabits  have  ears  two  or  three  times  as  long  and  as 
wide  as  those  of  ordinary  rabbits.  A  cross  between 
lop-eared  rabbits  and  ordinary  ones  produces  off- 
spring with  ears  of  intermediate  size,  which  sometimes 
stand  erect  and  sometimes  lop.  The  characters  which 
were  so  distinct  in  the  parents  have  in  this  case  lost 
their  identity  in  the  offspring,  and  apparently  cannot 
be  recovered  again  in  their  original  condition,  for  the 
offspring  transmit  to  their  young  blood  the  blended 
character,  rather  than  the  extreme  conditions  found 
in  their  respective  parents. 

It  has  been  thought  until  quite  recently  that  hered- 
itary processes  in  general  were  of  this  sort  and  that 
any  result  other  than  a  blend  was  exceptional.  But 
recent  investigations  do  not  bear  out  this  idea. 

Alternative  inheritance  is  illustrated  in  a  cross  be- 
tween the  so-called  Belgian  hare  and  an  albino  rabbit. 
The  Belgian  hare  is  simply  a  gray-coated  variety  of 
the  European  rabbit,  while  albino  rabbits  are  pink- 
eyed  and  have  white  hair;  the  Belgian  is  pigmented 
like  the  wild  European  rabbit,  the  albino  is  essentially 
unpigmented.  A  cross  between  the  two  produces  off- 
spring, all  of  which  have  the  pigmented  or  Belgian 
coat,  none  being  albinos  The  effect  is  similar  to  that 
produced  when  two  pieces  of  glass,  one  transparent, 
the  other  opaque,  are  held  together.  We  see  only  the 
opaque  one.  Nevetheless,  the  two  have  not  blended; 
each  retains  its  own  distinctness,  and  the  two  can  be 
separated  again  at  will. 

So  it  is  in  the  Belgian  produced  by  cross-breeding 
with  an  albino.  The  albino  character  is  there,  though 
unseen,  and  will  appear  as  a  distinct  entity  when  the 
cross-bred  reproduces,  for  it  will  be  represented  in  ap- 
proximately half  of  the  sex  cells  formed  by  the  cross- 
bred animal,  the  alternative  or  Belgian  character  being 
represented  in  the  other  half.  It  is  as  if  the  two 
pieces  of  glass,  combined  originally  to  illustrate  tne 
formation  of  a  cross-bred  animal,  were  separated 
again  to  illustrate  the  formation  of  the  reproductive 
elements  by  the  cross-bred.  For  every  element  formed 
having  the  opaque  characters,  there  will  be  another 
having  the  transparent  character,  but  there  will  be 
no  elements  of  an  intermediate  nature. 

This  simple  principle,  that  in  alternative  inheritance 
sex  cells  of  two  sorts  are  formed  by  cross-bred  indi- 
viduals, constitutes  one  of  the  most  important  dis- 
coveries ever  made  in  the  study  of  heredity.  The  dis- 
covery was  made  about  forty  years  ago  by  an  Aus- 
trian monk.'Gregor  Mendel,  who  was  engaged  in  the 
study  of  cross-bred  garden  peas. 

It  however,  attracted  little  attention  at  the  time  and 
was  soon   forgotten. 

Meanwhile,  a  great  body  of  workers  was  studying 
with  great  minuteness  the  material  basis  of  heredity. 
the  sexual  elements.  Their  investigations  disclosed  in 
the  cell  a  complete  basis  for  just  this  kind  of  alterna- 
tive? inheritance  and  led  up  to  the  re-discovery  of 
Mcinl'-l's  law  simultaneously  by  several  different  ex- 
perlmental  breeders,  foremost  among  whom  was  the 
Dutch  botanist,   de  Vries. 

Blende]  found  that  in  cross  breeding  betwreen  alter- 
native characters,  one  uniformly  dominates  in  the  off- 
sprlng  from  its  very  nature,  while  the  other  disap- 
peari  .  Just  as,  when  the  two  pieces  of  glass  are  held 
up  together  we  see  only  the  opaque  one,  the  trans- 
parent one  being  Invisible.  Mendel  called  the  character 

seen    in    it ffsprlng   dominant,    the    unseen   one   he 

called    recessive.     In   rabbits,   the  gray   pigmented  or 

in  hare  i i  is  dominant  over  the  albino,  the  lat- 

tei    being    recessive    (unseen),    in   cross-bred  animals. 
Similarly,    in    mice,    guinea-pigs,    and    even    in    man, 

mal  ng  of  Iblno  with  □   pure,  pigmented  individual 

oi  iv  pigmented  offspring.  In  guinea-pigs  the 

resetted  or  rough  coat  Is  dominant  over  smooth  (nor- 

coat);     and    short    coat    Is    dominant    over    long 

i       In   rabbits,  also  Die  normal  or  short 

coal    dominates   over   the  angora  coal,  and   the   si 

Ii     bably   true    in    cats   nd   goats   as  well.     Among 

ea-plgs  there  occurs  a  series  of  alternative  pig- 
meni    types    which    show    Mendcllan    relations   one   to 

I I  tier. 

If  we  write  them  in  this  order,  (1)  agouti  (I.  e  ,  black 
with  yellow,  the  ancestral  or  wild  type  of  coat); 


(•>)  Black;  (3)  Yellow;  (4)  Albino,  we  may  say  that 
each  is  dominant  over  all  which  follow  it,  and  reces- 
sive in  relation  to  all  which  precede  it.  Thus  agouti 
mated  with  black,  vellow  or  albino  gives  only  agouti 
offspring:  black  mated  with  yellow  or  albino  gives 
either  black  or  agouti,  but  never  yellow  or  alb-no, 
while  yellow  dominates  only  over  albino.  In  man,  a 
condition  of  bypophylangia  (two-jointed  instead  of 
three-jointed  digits)  is  dominnant  over  the  normal 
condition.  In  mice,  the  peculiar  waltzing  habit  of 
so-called  Japanese  mice  is  a  recessive  character  in 
heredity.  In  man,  a  peculiar  dark-colored  condition 
of  the  urine,  known  as  alkaptonuria,  is  inherited  as  a 
Mendelian  recessive  character.  Many  other  illustra- 
tions might  be  given,  but  these  will,  perhaps,  suffice 
to  show  that  Mendelian  or  alternative  inheritance  is 
neither  a  rare  nor  an  exceptional  phenomenon  and 
that  it  applies  to  the  inheritance  not  only  of  charac- 
ters purely  structural  but  also  to  those  which  are 
physiological  as  well. 

From  the  facts  that  cross-bred  animals  form  sexual 
elements  (or  gametes)  of  two  sorts,  and  that  the  two 
sorts  are  equally  numerous,  it  follows  that  among 
their  offspring  dominant  and  recessive  individuals  will 
occur  in  definite  proportions,  as  explained  by  pre- 
vious speakers. 

I  have  already  stated  that  many  characters  are  in- 
dependent of  each  other  in  heredity;  I  hope  now  to 
demonstrate  the  correctness  of  this  statement  in  cases 
of  alternative  inheritance,  even  when  the  independent 
characters  relate  to  the  same  bodily  parts.  For  this 
purpose  the  coat  characters  of  guinea-pigs  and  rabbits 
are  well  adapted,  since  they  are  exterior  structures 
easily  studied  in  the  living  animal.  I  hope  to  show 
you  (1)  that  pigmentation  of  the  hair  is  inherited 
quite  independently  of  its  length;  and  (2)  that  hair 
arrangement  (in  smooth  or  rough  coat)  is  inherited 
quite  independently  of  both  pigmentation  and  length 
of  hair.  For  example,  when  an  ordinary  short-haired 
guinea-pig  is  mated  with  a  long-haired  guinea-pig, 
all  the  young  produced  are  short-haired  and  pig- 
mented, these  being  the  dominant  characters.  Now, 
if  the  cross-bred  young  are  bred  together,  offspring 
of  four  different  sorts  are  produced.  Two  of  four 
sorts  are  identical  with  the  grandparents  in  character, 
they  are  short-haired  pigmented  animals  and  long- 
haired albinos  respectively.  But  the  other  two  sorts 
represent  new  combinations  of  characters;  they  are 
short-haired  albinos  and  long-haired  pigmented  ani- 
mals. Further,  these  four  sorts  of  individuals  occur 
on  the  average  in  definite  numerical  proportions,  viz. 

9  short-haired  pigmented  animals; 

3  short-haired  albino  animals; 

3  long-haired  pigmented  animals;  and 

1  long-haired  albino. 
Considering  pigmentation  and  hair  length  separate- 
ly, we  see  (1)  that  there  are  12  pigmented  animals  to 
4  albinos,  or  3  to  1,  as  expected;  and  (2)  that  there 
are  12  short-haired  to  4  long-haired  animals — again 
3  dominants  to  1  recessive.  But  if  we  consider  the 
relation  of  each  pair  of  characters  to  the  other,  we 
find  absolutely  no  correlation  between  them.  Albinism 
may  or  may  not  be  associated  in  the  grandparents. 
As.  a  matter  of  fact,  when  the  animals  are  tested  one 
by  one,  to  determine  the  presence  of  recessive  char- 
acters, we  find  that  albinism,  visibly  present  in  4  out 
of  16  offspring,  is  present  recessive  in  4  others,  and 
that  in  half  of  these  cases  it  is  associated  with  short 
hair,  while  in  the  other  half  it  is  associated  with 
long  coat. 

In  another  experiment  which  I  have  performed  with 
guinea-pigs,  a  cross  was  made  involving  three  pairs 
of  alternative  coat  characters,  length,  pigmentations, 
and  roughness  of  coat.  A  long-haired  rough  albino 
was  mated  with  short-haired,  smooth,  pigmented  ani- 
mals. The  young  were  all  short-haired,  smooth,  and 
pigmented.  The  coat  characters  seen  in  these  off- 
spring are  the  three  dominant  characters,  two  of 
which  were  received  from  one  parent,  one  from  the 
other;  the  three  alternative  recessive  characters  are 
present  but  unseen. 

When  the  young  were  bred  together,  they  produced 
offspring  of  eight  different  sorts,  including  all  possible 
combinations  of  the  three  pairs  of  alternative  char- 
acters. 

One  large  class  was  like  the  parents;  short-haired, 
rough,  and  pigmented.  Two  other  classes  were  like 
the  grandparents;  short-haired,  smooth,  pigmented, 
and  long-haired,  rough  albino.  In  addition,  there 
were  five  other  new  classes  not  represented  among 
the  parents  or  grandparents.     These  were: 

Short-haired,    rough   albino; 

Short-haired,   smooth  albino; 

Long-haired,  smooth  albino; 

Long-haired,  smooth  pigmented,  and 

Long-haired,  rough  pigmented. 

The  eight  classes  of  young  produced  in  this  experi- 
ment are  not  all  equally  numerous.  The  largest  class 
is"  that  which  contains  the  three  dominant  characters: 
the  smallest  that  which  contains  the  three  recessive 
characters.  Theoretically,  they  should  number  27  in- 
dividuals and  one  individual  respectively,  in  a  total 
of  64  young.  The  experiment  is  still  unfinished,  but 
it  is  already  evident  that  these  proportions  will  be 
loughly  approximated. 

This  experiment  illustrates  two  important  princi- 
ples in  heredity:  First,  if.  as  regards  the  hair  alone, 
there  exists  such  a  variety  of  characters  separately 
heritable,  how  great  must  be  the  number  of  such 
characters  in  the  bodly  as  a  whole,  and  how  remote 
any  individual  ancestor,  provided  that  in  a  consider- 
able number  of  heritable  characters  a  choice  is  offered 
between  alternative  conditions.  Secondly,  it  shows 
how  a  variety  of  new  organic  forms  may  quickly  be 
produced  by  cross  breeding,  leading  to  the  combina- 
tion in  one  race  of  characters  previously  found  sep- 
arately in  different  races.  Thus,  in  guinea-pigs,  one 
can  obtain  within  two  generations  any  desired  com- 
bination of  the  three  pairs  of  alternative  coat  char- 
acters, if  he  produces  a  sufficiently  large  number  of 


individuals;  but  to  obtain  the  desired  combination  in 
individuals  which  will  breed  true,  is  not  so  simple  a 
matter.  If  the  desired  combination  contains  one  or 
more  dominant  characters,  then  each  animal  selected 
must  be  tested  for  the  presence  of  undesirable  reces- 
sives  before  one  can  be  sure  that  the  new  race  will 
breed  true.  In  practice  it  will  probably  be  found  best 
by  the  breeder  not  to  work  with  too  many  characters 
at  a  time,  but  to  eliminate  the  undesirable  recessives 
one  by  one.  Otherwise  the  search  tor  the  one  individ- 
ual in  a  large  number  whicli  will  breed  true  may 
prove  a  long  and  tedious  process.  If  we  deal  with 
one  character  at  a  time,  the  chances  are  that  1  in  4 
of  the  second  generation  of  animals  reared  will  meet 
our  Ideal;  if  we  deal  with  twro  characters  at  a  time, 
the  chances  are  1  in  16,  while  if  we  deal  with  thre^ 
characters  at  a  time  the  chances  are  only  1  in  64, 
and  so  on,  with  the  chances  of  success  diminishing 
in  a  geometrical  series 

From  what  has  thus  far  been  said,  it  would  appear 
that  in  alternative  inheritance,  characters  behave  as 
units,  and,  more  than  that,  as  wholly  independent 
units,  so  that  to  forecast  the  outcome  of  matings  is 
merely  a  matter  of  mathematics.  Fortunately,  or.  un- 
forunately,  this  is  not  the  whole  ruth.  It  is  true  that 
in  alternative  inheritance  characters  do  behave  as. 
units  independently  of  each  other,  but  the  union  of 
dominant  with  recessive  in  a  cross-bred  animal  is  not 
so  simple  a  process  as  putting  together  two  pieces  of 
glass,  nor  is  their  segregation  at  the  formation  of 
gametes  so  complete  in  many  cases  as  the  separation 
of  two  glass  plates.  The  union  of  maternal  and  pa- 
ternal substance  in  the  germ  cells  of  the  cross-bred 
animal  is  evidently  a  fairly  intimate  one,  and  the 
segregation  which  they  undergo  when  the  sexual  ele- 
ments are  formed  is  more  like  cutting  apart  two  kinds 
of  differently  colored  wax  fused  in  adjacent  layers  of 
a  common  lump.  Work  carefully  as  we  will,  traces  of 
one  layer  are  almost  certain  to  be  included  in  the 
other,  so  that  while  the  two  strata  retain  their  identity 
each  is  slightly  modified  by  their  previous  union  in 
'a  common  lump. 

Thus,  when  we  cross  short-haired  with  long-haired 
guinea-pigs,  we  get  among  the  second  generation  off- 
spring a  certain  number  of  long-haired  animals  with 
hair  less  long  that  that  of  the  long-haired  grand- 
parent, or  with  long  hair  on  part  of  the  body  only. 
Further,  certain  of  the  short-haired  animals  have  hair 
a  little  longer  and  a  little  softer  than  that  of  the 
short-haired  grandparent.  Again,  rough-coated 
guineau-pigs  produced  by  cross  breds  often  have  coats 
less  fully  rough  than  that  of  their  rough  ancestor, 
lacking  certain  of  the  typical  rosettes.  Finally,  when 
an  albino  is  crossed  with  a  fully  pigmented  animal, 
the  result  may  be,  not  a  wholly  pigmented  animal, 
but  one  spotted  with  white.  While  such  a  cross-bred 
animal  forms  a  full  quota  (one-half)  of  albino  gam- 
etes, the  pigment  bearing  gametes  formed  by  it  fre- 
quently bear  this  spotted  or  modified  pigmented  con- 
dition. 

Cross  breeding,  accordingly,  is  a  two-edged  sword 
which  must  be  handled  carefully.  It  can  be  used  bs 
the  breeder  to  combine  in  one  race  characters  found 
separately  in  different  races,  but  care  must  be  exer- 
cised if  it  is  desired  to  keep  those  characters  unmodi- 
fied. If  modification  of  characters  is  desired  at  the 
same  time  as  new  combinations,  then  cross  breeding 
becomes  doubly  advantageous  for  it  is  a  means  of 
inducing  variability  in  characters,  as  for  example,  in 
the  intensity  of  pigmentation  and  in  the  length  of  hair, 
quite  apart  from  the  formation  of  new  groupings  of 
characters.  Sometimes  it  causes  a  complex  character 
to  break  up  into  simpler  units,  as  the  agouti  coat  of 
the  wild  guinea-pig  into  segregated  black  and  yellow, 
or  total  pigmentation  into  a  definite  series  of  pig- 
mented spots.  In  other  cases  it  operates  by  bringing 
into  activity  characters  which  have  previously  been 
latent  in   one  or  other  of  the  parental  forms. 

Now,  what  bearing,  we  may  ask,  have  these  theor- 
etical matters  on  the  practical  work  of  the  breeder? 
They  show  (1)  that  a  race  of  animals  is  for  practical 
purposes  a  group  of  character's  separately  heritable; 
and  (2)  that  the  breeder  who  desires  in  any  way  to 
modify  a  character  found  in  this  group,  or  to  add  a 
new  character  to  the  group  should  first  consider 
carefully  how  the  character  in  question  is  inherited. 

If  the  character  is  alternative  in  heredity  to  some 
other  character,  cross  breeding  between  the  two, 
followed  by  selection  for  pure  individuals,  will  within 
two  generations  give  the  desired  combination  of  char- 
acters in  individuals  which  will  breed  true.  This  pro- 
cess of  selection  is  simplest  when  the  characters 
to  be  combined  are  recessive  in  nature,  but  individual 
breeding  tests  become  necessary  when  dominant  char- 
acters are  included  in  the  combination  desired 

If  a  character  gives  blending  inheritance,  it  must  be 
treated  in  "a  different  way.  Suppose,  for  example, 
that  we  desire  to  combine  lop-ears  in  rabbits  with 
albinism  How  shall  we  proceed?  First,  mate  a  pig- 
mented lop  with  an  ordinary  short-eared  albino.  The 
offspring  will  be  pigmented  half  lops.  If  two  of  these 
be  bred  together,  their  young  will  all  be  half  lops, 
but  about  one  in  four  of  them  will  be  albinos.  Now 
these  albino  half  lops  may  be  mated  with  pure  pig- 
mented lops.  The  young  will  again  be  pigmented,  but 
this  time  will  be  three-quarter  lops,  and  by  breed- 
ing these  together,  albino  three-quarter  lops  may  bei 
obtained  in  the  next  generation.  By  continuing  this 
process  of  Mack-  crossing  with  the  lop-eared  stock, 
and  selecting  the  albino  offspring  obtained,  the  lop- 
eared  character  may  be  steadily  improved  in  the  al- 
binos until  it  is  practically  as  good  as  in  the  original 
lop-eared  stock.  The  rate  of  improvement  possible 
can  be  readily  calculated.     The  albino  young  will  be 

After  2  generations,    %   lops: 
After  4  generations,   %   lops; 
After  6  generations,  %  lops; 
After  8  generations,  15-16  lops; 
After  10  generations,  31-32  lops,  etc. 
This  will  be  the  result   on   the  hypothesis  that  no

secondary  variation  occurs  in  the  lop-eared  character. 
If,  however,  variation  is  induced  by  the  cross  breed- 
ing, then  it  is  possible  that  the  desired  end  may  be 
reached  sooner,  or  that  an  even  better  lop  may  be 
obtained  in  the  albino  cross  breds,  than  that  of  the 
original  pigmented  stock. 

Latent  characters  are  an  important  element  in 
practical  breeding.  Sometimes  they  greatly  aid  the 
breeders'  work;  sometimes  they  impede  it.  If  a  stock 
contains  undesirable  latent  characters  which  are 
brought  into  activity  by  cross  breeding,  these  latent 
characters  will  have  to  be  eliminated,  or  a  new  stock 
tried. 

Since  cross  breeding  is  likely  to  modify  characters 
even  when  these  conform  to  the  laws  of  alternative 
inheritance,  and  is  certain  to  modify  them  when  they 
give  blended  inheritance,  it  should  be  practised  with 
extreme  cautiqn,  and  only  by  the  breeder  who  has  a 
definite  end  in  view  and  a  fairly  clear  idea  of  how 
he  is  going  to  attain  it. 

The  purity  of  standard  breeds  should  be  carefully 
guarded,  and  much  attention  should  be  given  to  pedi- 
grees, for  even  when  individual  excellence  is  not  ap- 
parent, it  may  be  present  in  recessive  or  else  in  a 
latent  state,  which  suitable  matings  will  bring  into 
full  realization,  provided  the  ancestors  were  superior 
animals. 

At  the  same  time  the  breeder  should  be  on  the  look- 
out for  individual  peculiarities  of  merit.  And  he 
should  not  be  discouraged  if  these  are  not  transmitted 
to  the  immediate  offspring.  A  simple  character  which 
disappears  from  the  children,  but  reappears  among 
the  grandchildren,  can  at  once  be  made  a  racial  char- 
acter, for  it  is  recessive  in  heredity. 

Inbreeding  is  not  invariably  an  evil.  It  is  often 
necessary  to  cause  the  reappearance  of  a  vanished 
recessive  character,  and  is  indispensable  in  the  form- 
ation of  races  which  will  breed  true  Two  or  three 
generations  of  close  inbreeding  usually  suffice  to  re- 
alize the  practical  benetfis  of  the  process,  if  intelli- 
gently carried  on.  The  inbreeding  should  then  be 
discontinued  as  soon  as  the  desired  end  has  been  at- 
tained. Otherwise,  loss  of  vigor  or  infertility  may 
result. 


HEREDITY. 


(By  Luther   Burbank,    Santa   Rosa,   Cal.) 


The  word  heredity  has  a  familiar  sound  to  us  now, 
though  less  than  fourteen  years  ago  it  could  not  have 
been  found  in  Webster's  Unabridged  Dictionary.  It 
conveys  a  meaning  which  no  other  single  word  can 
express  and  refers  to  the  laws  by  which  living  things 
repeat  their  characteristics  in  their  descendants. 

A  knowledge  of  the  laws,  of  heredity,  or  more  ac- 
curately, the  interaction  of  the  hereditary  forces  and 
environmental  conditions,  without  doubt  gives  man 
more  power  in  guiding  and  molding  the  creative  forces 
of  Nature  than  any  other  knowledge  has  yet,  or  can 
ever  give,  and  as  one  looks  back  further  and  still 
further  towards  the  beginning  of  things  and  the  laws, 
or  more  properly,  forces  which  have  led  up  to  the 
present  order  of  Nature,  and  which  perhaps  exceed 
all  others  in  complexity,  he  can  get  a  broader  view  in 
which  beautiful  harmonies  appear  where  before  dis- 
cord and  apparent  contradictions  seemed  to  reign 
supreme. 

But  at  first  sight  one  is  almost  paralyzed  in  making 
any  attempt  to  harmonize  the  various  views  which 
have  been  held  on  the  subject  during  the  last  half 
century,  and  it  is  heart-rending  to  think  of  the  ener- 
gies wasted  on  theories  which  had  no  foundation  in 
fact,  some  of  which  Nature  herself  would  have  re- 
futed at  once  if  approached  by  actual  experiments 
with  the  life  'forces,  and,  though  wrong  deductions 
may  be  made  from  actual  experiments,  yet  by  these 
alone  can  the  facts  be  finally  verified  and  a  clearer 
general  knowledge  obtained. 

Heredity  may  be  said  to  he  the  sum  of  all  the 
effects  of  all  the  environments  of  all  past  generations 
on  the  responsive  ever-moving  life  forces,  or,  in  other 
words,  a  record  kept  by  the  vital  principle  of  the 
struggle  onward  and  upward  from  simpler  forms,  not 
vague  in  any  respect  but  indelibly  fixed  by  repetition. 
"What  the  vital  principles  are  we  do  not  yet  fully 
know,  but  we  do  know  that,  when  simple  cells  become 
joined  together,  mutual  protection  is  secured  and 
that  they  exhibit  organized  forces  in  new  directions 
which  were  impossible  by  anyone  of  the  individual 
cells  not  associated  in  a  cell  colony  with  its  fellows 
These  cell  colonies  will,  if  environment  is  favorable, 
increase  in  strength  while  colonies  less  favorably  sit- 
uated may  be  crippled  or  destroyed.  We  see  this 
natural  selection  in  all  life  every  day  around  us.  But 
this  is  only  one  of  the  many  forces  at  work  in  the 
upward,  outward,  and  onward  movement  of  life.  It 
is  necessary  for  the  continued  existence  of  any  species 
that  it  should  have  not  only  the  perseverance  but 
pliability,  for  new  conditions  appear  where  persever- 
ance on  the  old  lines  would  mean  extinction.  The 
life  forces  in  their  march  meet  obstacles  around, 
under,  over,  or  through  which  they  must  pass,  various 
individuals  having  a  slightly  differing  sum  of  en- 
vironment or  heredity  secure  in  their  progeny  greater 
pliability  in  the  union. 

Nearly  all  late  writers  seem  to  overlook  or  even 
to  ignore  the  vast  importance  of  natural  crossing. 
The  human  intellect  may  well  be  amazed  at  the  nu- 
merous and  surprising  variety  of  the  means  employed 
for  this  purpose,  which  alone  should  suggest  its  para- 
mount importance  in  the  evolution  and  perpetuity  of 
life. 

Crossing  is  the  grand  principal  cause  of  all  the 
species  and  varieties  of  earth,  sea,  and  air.  Crossing 
these  differing  lines  of  heredity  caused  by  the  action 
of  past  environments  on  the  life  forces  produces  a 
vast  complication  of  vital  movements,  habits,  ten- 
dencies, or  memories  if  you  prefer,  some  of  which  are 


fixed  by  ages  of  repetition,  while  others  are  of  later 
acquisition,  each  of  these  like  drops  of  various  chem- 
icals in  a  pool  of  water  changing  by  so  much  the 
heredity  of  the  subject,  all  being  blended  into  the 
whole  as  we  see  it  in  its  present  state.  But  past  ten- 
dencies must  fade  somewhat  as  the  new  ones  are 
added,  and  as  each  individual  has  ancestors  in  un- 
told numbers,  and  as  each  is  bound  to  the  others  in 
close  symbasis,  like  the  numerous  threads  in  a  fabric, 
individuals  with  in  a  species,  by  thus  having  very 
numerous  similar  lines  of  heredity,  are  very  much 
alike,  yet  no  two  are  just  the  same.  Thus  in  the 
bundles  of  individuals  having  similar  heredities — 
which  for  convenience  are  called  species — we  seldom 
find  wide  variations,  and  for  the  reasons  just  given; 
but  cross  two  of  these  species  and  see  what  the  result 
will  be.  Sharp  variations  and  mutations  will  appear, 
not  in  the  first  generation,  as  the  two  are  bound  to- 
gether in  a  mutual  compact  which,  when  unloosed  by 
the  next  and  succeeding  generations,  will  branch  in 
every  direction  as  the  myriad  different  lines  of  hered- 
ity combine  and  exhibit  themselves  in  various  new 
directions  as  if  the  bundle  of  hereditary  tendencies 
were  burst  asunder  by  the  impact  and  mutually  ar- 
ranged themselves  in  new  and  often  wholly  unexpect- 
ed forms.  Many  static  tendencies  become  dynamic 
under  the  new  form  of  government  thus  produced. 

A  study  of  animals  or  plants  belonging  to  widely 
different  species  and  even  genera,  which  have  been 
under  similar  environments  for  a  long  time,  will  al- 
ways show  a  similarity  in  many  respects  in  the  vari- 
ous means  they  are  compelled  to  adopt  for  defense  in 
the  preservation  and  reproduction  of  life. 

Desert  plants  often  have  thorns,  acrid  qualities  and 
reduced  foliage  surface,  while  in  moist  climates 
thorns  are  seldom  seen,  and  foliage  more  abundant 
and  not  so  often  acrid  or  distasteful.  Similar  en- 
vironments produce  similar  results  on  the  life  forces, 
even  with  the  most  distantly  related  plants  or  ani- 
mals. This  fact  alone  should  be  proof  enough,  if 
proof  were  required,  that  acquired  characters  are 
transmitted,  even  though  in  opposition  to  numerous 
popular  theories.  All  characters  which  are  transmit- 
ted have  once  been  acquired.  The  life  forces  are 
constantly  pressing  forward  to  obtain  any  space 
which  can  be  occupied,  and  if  they  find  an  open 
avenue,  always  make  use  of  it  as  fully  as  heredity 
can  adapt  itself  to  them. 

Fluctuating  variations  and  mutations  in  animals 
and  plants  are  all  due  to  the  combination  and  inter- 
action of  the  various  life  forces  or  tendencies  and  the 
environmental  aids  or  obstacles  which  they  have  to 
meet.  The  life  forces  may  be  compared  to  a  river 
constantly  pressing  forward;  environments  are  the 
river  banks  which  guide  these  forces  as  the  banks 
guide  the  river.  A  rock  may  make  a  ripple  turning 
a  part  of  the  flow  aside  for  a  moment,  yet  the  river 
keeps  right  on  its  way;  but,  if  enough  rocks  are 
placed  on  one  side  of  the  stream,  or  if  a  new  and 
better  channel  is  found,  the  whole  river  is  turned. 
This  may  illustrate  the  difference  between  the  fluc- 
tuating variations  and  mutations  of  which  we  have 
heard  so  much  of  late.  Mutations  are  only  fluctuat- 
ing variations  carried  beyond  the  critical  point.  Other 
similar  illustrations  of  the  actions  of  these  forces  can 
be  drawn  from  the  motions  of  ions,  electrons,  atoms, 
or  planets. 

Second  only  in  power  to  crossing  for  producing 
variations,  are  abrupt  changes  of  environment  such 
as  superabundance  of  food,  sunshine,  moisture,  and 
freedom  from  competition.  Some  of  these  are  found 
by  plants  and  animals  from  time  to  time  in  Nature 
and  always  when  under  domestication. 

Still  another  force  leading  to  variations  is  strugg*;: 
and  hardship,  but  these  are  rather  negative,  only 
bringing  out  and  making  use  of  force  acquired  when 
ancestral  conditions  were  more  favorable,  and  this 
brings  up  another  matter  which  has  always  been  the 
chief  stumbling  block  to  a  clearer  knowledge  of  hered- 
ity, and  one  of  the  most  difficult  to  understand  and 
to  trace.  Sometimes  we  may,  for  instance,  plant  a 
pure  white  bean,  and  reap  a  full  harvest  of  black 
ones,  or  vice  versa.  These  experimental  facts  seem 
to  contradict  all  laws  of  heredity,  but  not  so,  such 
cases  only  the  more  verify  them.  We  have  generally 
only  to  trace  the  matter  back  to  find  that  some  of  the 
ancestors  were  or  \he  same  color  as  the  strange  freak 
which  appeared  without  apparent  cause,  but  still 
more  complicated  will  it  he  when  no  such  ancestral 
type  can  be  found,  and  even  in  such  a  case  careful 
study  may,  and  often  does,  reveal  the  fact  that  ten- 
dencies, like  threads  in  a  web  of  cloth,  had  so  long 
been  pressing  for  expression  that,  when  the  critical 
point  had  been  reached,  the  strong  tendency  which 
had  long  been  overwhelmed  by  still  stronger  ones, 
came  to  the  surface,  but  never  by  chance,  the  latest 
tendencies  were  inherent,  and  by  crossing  were  doubl- 
ed in  strength  or  by  more  favorable  conditions  were 
allowed  to  express  themselves. 

Bud  sports  have  also  been  a  source  of  almost  end- 
less discussion  and  have  never  been  In  any  manner 
satisfactorily  explained  by  any  theory  until  the  paral- 
lelism of  grafting  and  hybridizing  was  pointed  out, 
and  a  knowledge  of  dynamic  and  static  forces  in  life 
obtained. 

Grafting  or  budding  may  be  ca'.Vid  a  blo-mechanico- 
chemical  combination  While  crossing  by  seed  is 
more  of  a  bio-chemical  union,  yet  this  last  union  is 
often  more  truly  mechanical  than  chemical,  as  in  the 
case  of  mosaic  union,  which  is  not  unusual  when  the 
cross  is  too  abrupt.  In  fact,  every  graduation  from  a 
purely  mechanical  union  to  one  of  perfect  chemical 
blend  is  a  common  every-day  occurrence  with  those 
who  have  carried  out  field  experiments  on  a  broad 
and  comprehensive  scale. 

Under  the  views  of  heredity  expressed  above  the 
two  schools — the  Lamarckian,  which  claims  direct 
response  of  organization  to  environment,  and  inheri- 
tance of  useful  acquired  characters,  and  the  Dar- 
winian, which  claims  the  working  out  of  useful  struc- 
tures by  the  influence  of  selection  on  small   fluctuat- 


ing variations— are  perfectly  harmonized,  also  the  gap 
between  Darwin  and  Wallace  is  closed.  And  now  that 
harmony  can  be  secured  between  the  champions  of 
these  three  great  masters,  we  may  well  turn  to  some 
more  useful  work.  And  right  here,  the  words  of 
Auguste  Compte,  though  written  seventy-eight  years 
ago,  apply  so  well  to  what  I  have  said  that  they  are 
here  quoted,  and  I  fully  and  freely  indorse  them  and 
am  quite  sure  that  Darwin,  Wallace,  and  Lamarck 
would  all  have  done  the  same.     He  writes. 

"If  we  conceive  all  possible  organisms  to  be  suc- 
cessively placed  during  a  suitable  time,  in  all  imag- 
inable mediums,  the  greater  part  of  these  organisms 
would  of  necessity  finally  disappear  and  leave  only 
those  surviving  which  could  satisfy  the  general  laws 
of  this  fundamental  equilibrium.  It  is  probable  that 
after  a  succession  of  analagous  eliminations,  the  bio- 
logical harmony  must  have  established  itself  little  by 
little  upon  our  planet,  where  we  still  see  it  continual- 
ly modifying  itself  in  a  similar  manner." 

I  have  here  given  only  a  .passing  glance  over  some 
of  the  most  prominent  features  of  the  action  of  these 
forces  of  heredity  which  too  often  seem  not  to  have 
been  placed  in  the  right  perscpective  to  obtain  a  com- 
prehensive view  of  the  subject,  and  in  closing  would 
say  that  the  intricate  and  most  perplexing  laws  of 
evolution  and  heredity  are  now  being  traced  out  with 
great  rapidity,  especially  since  the  advent  of  the  more 
general  plan  of  direct  study  and  experiments  of  the 
biological  forces  themselves,  the  generalizations  drawn 
from  very  numerous  useful  and  painstaking  special 
experiments  on  widely  different  subjects,  and  a  more 
general  knowledge  that  all  motion,  all  life,  all  force, 
all  so-called  matter  are  following  the  same  law  of 
heredity  found  in  plants  and  animals — a  forward 
movement  towards  attractions  through  lines  of  least 
resistance. 


AGRICULTURAL    EDUCATION. 


The  farmers  and  teachers  of  California  have  joined 
hands  to  promote  agriculture  through  education.  On 
December  27th,  28th  and  29th  a  joint  session  of  the 
State  Farmers'  Institute  and  of  the  California  Teach- 
ers' Institute  and  of  the  California  Teachers'  Associa- 
tion, will  be  held  in  Berkeley.  All  phases  of  the 
question  of  agricultural  education  will  be  threshed  out 
jointly    by    the    farmer   and    the   pedagogue. 

The  discussion  will  be  opened  Wednesday  morning. 
27th,  by  L.  D.  Harvey  of  Wisconsin  on  "Experiments 
in  Agriculture  in  This  and  Other  Countries — What 
They  Should  Teach  Us." 

Dr.  A.  C.  True  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture,  Washington,  D.  C,  will  talk  on  "Why 
the  Friends  of  Agricultural  Progress  Believe  that 
Agriculture  Should  Be  Taught  in  the  Public  Schools." 
In  this  talk  he  will  set  forth  reasons  for  the  teaching 
of  agriculture  in  the  public  schools  from  the  stand- 
point of  both  the  farmer  and  the  educator,  and  point 
out  what  he  considers  feasible  in  this  line,  with  special 
reference  to  the  agriculture  and  horticulture  of  Cali- 
fornia. Dr.  True  will  also  outline  a  system  of  agri- 
cultural education  for  the  state  from  the  university 
down,  and  state  what  he  considers  the  functions  of 
the  different  institutions  which  should  be  established 
to  carry  out  such  a  plan. 

Among  those  who  will  take  part  in  the  discussion 
are  Governor  Geo.  C.  Pardee,  Judge  Shields  of  Sacra- 
mento, E.  F.  Adams  of  the  San  Francisco  Chronicle, 
A.  L.  Cowell  of  the  Stockton  Mail.  Prof.  E.  J.  Wick- 
son,  Prof.  W.  J.  V.  Osterhout.  President  Benjamin 
Ide  Wheeler,  John  Sweet  of  Martinez,  Supt.  T.  O. 
Crawford  of  Oakland,  W.  V.  Griffith  of  the  State 
Grange  and  many  others  jointly  interested  in  educa- 
tion and  agriculture. 

The  movement  to  be  started  at  the  Berkeley  joint 
meeting  is  certain  to  result  in  great  good  to  Cali- 
fornia. The  farmer  with  his  practice  and  the  teacher 
with  his  theory  are  sure  to  reach  conclusions  of  value. 

In  view  of  the  Berkeley  movement  the  following 
summary  of  facts  will  be  of  interest: 

1.  In  1904  there  were  enrolled  in  the  public  schools 
of  California  302,315  pupils,  distributed  as  follows: 
In  the  primary  and  grammar  schools,  277, 5S9,  or  91. S 
per  cent;  in  the  high  schools,  21,449  or  7  1  per  cent; 
in  the  University  of  California,  3277,  or  1.1  per  cent. 

2.  The  schools  of  California  are  doing  practically 
nothing  to  improve  agricultural  conditions.  The 
whole  trend  of  education  in  the  elementary  and  high 
schools  of  the  state  is  away  from  the  farm,  notwith- 
standing the  fact  that  at  least  40  per  cent  of  the 
population  of  the  state  depends  on  he  various  farms 
of  agriculture  for  a  livelihood. 

3.  Agricultural  education  in  the  state  is  limited  to 
instruction  given  in  the  Agricultural  Department  of 
the  University  of  California  and  at  the  California 
Polytechnic  School  at  San  Luis  Obispo,  no  oppor- 
tunity being  given  the  299.038  pupils  in  the  primary, 
grammar  and  high  schools  of  the  state  (9S.9  per  cent 
of  the  total  enrollment)  to  study  even  the  elements 
in  agriculture.  In  1904  but  102  pupils  were  enrolled 
in  the  college  of  agriculture  at  Berkeley,  an  average 
of  one  student  to  each  14S5  of  population  in  the 
state.  The  enrollment  of  pupils  taking  the  work  in 
San  Luis  Obispo  is  even  less.  And  this  is  the  sum 
total  of  what  education  in  California  does  for  agri- 
culture as  a  distinctive  industry.  The  dentist  receives 
more   consideration    than    does    the   farmer. 

4.  At  the  present  time  many  of  the  high  schools 
of  California  are  preparing  students  for  commercial 
life;  :ill  are  preparing  students  for  entrance  to  the 
universities  as  future  doctors,  lawyers,  teachers,  den- 
tists, etc.  Not  one  of  the  162  high  schools  of  the  state, 
even  in  agricultural  districts,  is  making  any  effort  to 
prepare  the  farmer  for  his  special  work,  a  work  that 
is  surely  of  overshadowing   importance  to  California.

ers'  Futurity  pacing  stake  this  year,  and  the 
dam  of  thai  very  handsome  trotter  Iloilo  2:15  is  by 
Nutwood  Wilkes.  Every  daughter  of  his  whose  prod- 
uce has  been  raced  is  a  producer  of  standard  speed. 

Padlock  is  the  name  of  a  nice  big  two  year  old 
colt  by  Zolock  2:05^4  out  of  Georgie  B.  2:12%  that  Mr. 
aims  to  use  some  in  the  stud.  Among  the 
mares  on  the  farm  are  Bxcella  by  Monbells  (son  of 
Mendocino  and  Beautiful  Bells)  out  of  the  great  race 
mare  Expressive  by  Electioneer; .  Altrosa  by  Altivo 
2:1S%  (own  brother  to  Palo  Alto  2:08%),  dam  Lus- 
trosa  by  Boodie,  second  dam  Lulu  by  Electioneer; 
Zeta  Carter  by  Director  2:17;  K.  W.  by  Klatawah 
2:05%,  dam  Queen  C.  2:2S%  by  Nutwood  Wilkes,  and 
others   equally  as  well  bred. 

From  the  horses  enumerated  above  it  will  be  seen 
that  Mr.  Carter  has  collected  as  finely  bred  a  lot  of 
mares  and  fillies  at  his  farm  as  there  is  on  any 
breeding  place  in  the  United  States.  They  are  bred 
in  producing  lines  on  both  sides,  were  selected  for 
their  individuality  and  speed  and  from  them  are  com- 
ing race  winning  and  money  getting  colts  and  fillies 


year  after  year.  Their  owner  once  remarked  to  the 
writer  that  in  the  horse  breeding  business  he  was  pur- 
suing the  same  methods  which  made  his  car  building 
business  so  successful.  He  selected  the  very  best  of 
everything  to  begin  with,  but  did  not  stop  at  that. 
Whenever  he  saw  an  idea  that  was  better  than  his 
own  he  was  ready  to  adopt  it,  and  always  aimed  to 
keep  in  the  front  of  the  procession.  He  early  recog- 
nized the  fact  that  in  Willi  am  son's  Belmont,  George 
M.  Patchen  Jr.,  Nutwood,  Electioneer,  Geo.  Wilkes  and 
others  the  trotting  horse  had  foundation  blood  that 
was  very  choice,  but  in  building  up  and  improving  the 
breed  his  aim  was  to  erect  a  construction  on  this 
foundation,  by  using  up-to-date  material  for  the  su- 
perstructure. In  other  words  progress  was  his  motto, 
and  he  does  not  believe  it  wise  to  keep  going  back. 
With  this  idea  in  view  he  has  patronized  and  will 
continue  to  patronize  the  best  stallions  of  the  present, 
and  where  young  horses  are  proving  their  merit  as 
sires  of  early  and  extreme  speed  he  will  not  hesitate 
to  send  his  mares  to  their  court,  believing  that  the 
true  course  of  horse  breeding  is  onward  and  upward, 
and  that  the  best  results  will  be  obtained  by  piling 
the  crosses  that  have  the  greatest  speed  and  the 
most  endurance  on  top  of  one  another  until  the  trot- 
ter and  pacer  will  be  born  with  inherited  speed  which 
will  only  need  the  school  of  a  good  trainer  to  de- 
velop it.

CAUSTIC     BALSAM    FOR    CtlTS. 
DRIJISKS  AND  SPAVIN.  ALSO  HUMAN 

-\  i  i.mi:nts 

Taylor,  N.  Y.,  Feb.  10.  1905. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 
I  have  used  GOMBAULTS'3  CAUSTIC 
BALSAM  for  cuts  and  brui--.es  and  also  for 
bODe  spavins  with  good  success.  Have  also 
used  it  a  good  deal  on  Luman  flesh  with 
equally  as  good  results.  Do  not  calculate  to 
be  without  it.  as  I  consider  it  the  best  lini- 
ment or  blister  on  the  martlet.

IT     IS     THE     BEST     LINIMENT. 

Grassflat,  Pa.,  Jan.  27,  1305. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 
I  used  your  GOMBATJLT'S  CAUSTIC 
BALSAM  on  a  horse  that  had  large  side 
bones  and  entirely  cured  him.  I  keep  it  on 
hand  at  all  times.  It  is  th»  best  iintm^it  I 
can  get.  GUY  JOHNSON. 

CAUSTIC     BALSAM     CURED     CAPPED

Klngsley,  Mich.,  April  6, 1904. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland, 
Ohio.  . 
I  have  used  GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC 
BALSAM  on  my  mare,  which  had  a  bad 
capped  hock,  and  in  ten  days  hadhercurtd 
entirely,  sound  as  ever  Also  used  it  on  an- 
other mare  for  bone  spavin,  and  two  applica- 
tions killed  spavin.  Used  it  on  two  other 
horses  for  what  is  called  "Pipes,"  killed  and 
cured  boih  cases.  I  have  cured  every  case 
that  I  have  u>-ed  yeur  BALSAM  on, and  would 
say  that  GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC  BALSAM 
is  an  indispensable  remedy,  and  would  not  be 
without  it  at  twice  the  cost

USED  SUCCESSFULLY  FOR  15  YEARS 

.  Hampton,  Ky..  Jan.  25.  1904. 
The  Lawrence  Williams  Co ,  Cleveland, 
Ohio 
I  have  been  using  GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC 
BALSAM  over  fifteen  years,  with  good  re- 
sults in  my  family,  for  sore  throat.  Also  on 
my  stock,  mostly  for  fistula.  I  have  never 
failed  to  cure  every  horse  that  I  have  used 
GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC  BALSAM  on  It 
never  leaves  a  blemish  after  using,  the  hair 
ermlng  back  the  same  color,  where  other 
remedies  leave  great  scars.  I  have  taken  off 
blemishes  on  horses  with  CAUSTIC  BAL- 
SAM. JULIUS  M.  UTZ.

I  have  tested  your  remedy  and  can  say  that 
it  is  the  best  I  have  tried  tor  years.  It  can't 
be  beat.  GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC  BAL- 
SAM is  the  only  remedy  there  is  made  to  do 
the  work.  F.  W.  ZEGLIN.

Park  Ridge,  111,  Dec.  2,  1904. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 
I  used  your  GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC 
BALSAM  when  you  first  put  it  uopn  the 
American  market.  I  have  always  had  It 
since,  and  have  it  now  in  my  medicine  case.

Klrksville.Mo  ,  Jan  29,1904.

I  have  cured  lots  of  cases  of  fistula  and 
spavin  bone.  bog.  blood,  with  GOMBAULT'S 
CAUSTIC  BALSAM.  On  bog  and  blood 
spavin  removed  all  the  bunch;  but  on  bone, 
killed  it,  cured  the  lameness  and  removed  a 
larger  part  of  the  bunch  Can  remove  all  if 
taken  in  time;  also  splints,  curbs,  thorough- 
pins— in  fact,  ail  enlargements— and  have 
met  with  the  very  best  of  results.

WILL  DO  MOKE  THAN  ANY  OTHER 
MEDICINE. 

Stuart,  Neb.,  Jan.  31, 1905. 
The  Lawrence-Williams  Co.,  Cleveland, 
Ohio. 
Six  years  ago  I  took  a  bunch  off  a  horse's 
leg  just  below  the  knee  as  big  as  a  man's 
head.  I  am  now  using  it  on  a  colt  which  cut 
his  foot  in  a  wire  fence  and  grew  a  new  hoof , 
and  foot  is  enlarged  above  hoof.  The  foot  is 
gradually  geiting  smaller,  and  think  in  a 
little  time  will  be  down  to  its  natural  size* 
GOMBAULT'S  CAUSTIC  BALSAM  will  do 
more  than  any  other  medicine  I  ever  used  for 
removing  growths  on  horses.

I  have  used  several  bottles  of  your  GOM-

ailments,  such    as   strains,  fistula,  enlar  e- 
ments,  etc  ,  with  saiisfactoury  results.    Our

San    Francisco,    Saturday,  December    30,    1905 


THERE  IS  WORK  TO  DO  during  the  next  two 
months  by  every  person'  Interested  in  the  breeding 
and  training  of  harness  horses.  A  good  circuit  of 
harness  racing  in  California  in  1906  is  absolutely 
essential  to  the  prosperity  of  horse  breeders  and 
owners,  and  if  they  will  only  get  to  work  at  the  form- 
ation of  a  circuit  it  can  be  accomplished  without 
much  difficulty.  The  live  and  energetic  people  of 
Southern  California  have  already  announced  their 
intention  of  giving  a  good  meeting  at  Los  Angeles  in 
June  and  another  late  in  the  season.  The  State  Agri- 
cultural Society  will  offer  good  purses  for  harness 
races,  and  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' 
Association  can  be  depended  upon  to  give  one  of  its 
high  class  meetings  in  August  as  usual.  But  what 
are  the  horsemen  of  San  Jose,  Fresno,  Stockton, 
Woodland,  Santa  Rosa,  Marysville,  Salinas,  Hollister, 
"Vallejo,  Pleasanton  and  other  towns,  where  good  mile 
tracks  are  located  going  to  do  in  regard  to  giving 
meetings?  In  every  one  of  the  towns  mentioned  an 
excellent  meeting  can  be  held  if  the  horsemen  them- 
selves but  take  the  initiative  and  do  a  little  hard 
work.  The  time  to  commence  is  right  now.  Dates 
should  be  claimed  in  January  and  purses  announced 
very  soon  thereafter.  Owners  and  trainers  want  to 
know  how  much  racing  there  will  be  in  California  this 
year  before  they  make  up  their  training  strings.  If 
there  is  a  good  circuit  of  eight  or  ten  meetings  an- 
nounced by  February,  more  horses  will  be  trained 
than  for  many  years  past.  Nearly  every  owner  wants 
to  race  his*  horses  at  home,  but  if  the  circuit  is  as 
small  as  it  was  last  year,  those  with  good  strings 
will  cross  the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  time  to  an- 
nounce dates  is  during  the  month  of  January  and 
purses  should  be  announced,  before  the  first  day  of 
March.  We.  therefore,  say  to  the  horsemen  of  the 
towns  mentioned  above,  and  the  managers  of  the 
tracks  at  those  places:  It  is  time  to  get  a  move  on. 
What  are  you  going  to  do  about  a  race  meeting  in 
1906?  Let  us  hear  from  you,  one  and  all.  The  har- 
ness horse  business  is  in  good  shape  but  a  good  cir- 
cuit) will  raise  prices  all  along  the  line.  The  number 
of  mares  bred  in  1906,  will  also  be  greater  if  there  is 
a  good  circuit,  as  the  interest  in  harness  horses  will 
be  increased.  It  behooves  everyone  connected  with 
the  industry  in  any  way  to  get  his  coat  off.  There  is 
work  to  do  and  it  must  not  be  put  off. 

JUST  A  "WORD  to  these  who  own  mares  that  they 
intend  breeding  this  year.  Don't  cross  two  different 
types  with  the  expectation  of  getting  a  happy  med- 
ium between  the  two.  It  will  not  result  more  than 
once  or  twice  out  of  ten  times.  If  you  own  a  draft 
mare  of  Percheron  blood  and  type  select  the  best 
Percheron  stallion  you  can  find  in  your  neighborhood 
to  mate  her  with.  If  your  mares  are  Clydesdales  or 
Belgians,  stick  to  those  breeds  and  try  to  improve 
and  build  up  the  stock  you  have.  If  you  own  a  hand- 
some mare  by  a  trotting  horse,  pick  out  a  handsome 
trotting  stallion  to  mate  her  with.  If  your  trotting 
mare  is  a  slab-sided,  homely  brute  don't  get  the  idea 
into  your  head  that  her  foal  from  a  handsome  coach 
horse  or  a  hackney  will  be  as  handsome  as  its  sire. 
Breed  your  mares  with  some  judgment,  and  remember 
that  it  takes  a  very  long  time  to  establish  a  type  or 
a  breed.  You  cannot  get  what  you  want  from  one 
cross  of  any  two  types  of  horses.  So  stick  to  the 
breeds  already  established  and  try  to  get  your  stock 
as  close  to  full  blood  as  you  can.  If  a  farmer  owns 
some  large  coarse  draft  mares  of  mixed  breed  and 
desires  to  improve  his  stock  let  him  select  the  type 
of  horse  he  likes  best  of  all  the  draft  breds  and  breed 
his  mares  to  him.     When  the  fillies  from  these  mat- 


ings  are  old  enough  mate  them  with  a  draft  stallion 
of  the  sama  breed,  and  continue  along  this  line  until 
your  colts  are  near  enough  full  blooded  to  be  regis- 
tered. Then  register  the  youngsters  as  fast  as  they 
come  along  and  stick  to  this  one  breed.  It  is  the  only 
way  to  get  horses  that  will  bring  good  prices  in  dull 
times. 


GET  YOCTR  STALLION  ADVERTISEMENT  before 
the  public  early.  Remember  that  owners  of  brood 
mares  like  to  s-toidy  over  the  best  cross  for  their 
mares,  and  that  the  blood  lines  of  your  horse  may  be 
just  the  ones  they  have  decided  will  be  the  best,  but 
do  not  know  where  to  get.  If  your  advertisement 
brings  but  one  mare  it  will  pay,  and  most  breeders 
have  come  to  the  conclusion  that  horses  not  adver- 
tised are  not  the  ones  to  patronize. 


Mr.  J.  H.  Williams  is  training  two  full  brothers  to 
Danube  2:1214  at  the  Los  Angeles  track. 


Mr.  O.  A.  Lowe,  the  well  known  farmer  and  horse 
dealer  of  Wo'cdland.  recently  made  a  trip  through 
Mexico,  and  states  that  he  saw  more  fine  carriage 
teams  on  the  streets  of  the  Mexican  capital  than  he 
has  seen  in  any  city  in  this  country.  Dealers  of 
Chicago  and  other  points  in  the  Middle  West  find  a 
ready  sale  in  Mexico  for  fine  pairs  and  high  prices 
do  not  stop  the  sales.  The  wealthy  Mexicans  want 
the  best  they  can  buy  and  the  parade  of  fine  turnouts 
on  the  streets  of  the  city  of  Mexico  every  afternoon  is 
equal  to  a  horse  show. 


The  case  of  the  National  Trotting  Association 
against  East  View  Farm  was  decided  in  favor  of  the 
farm.  This  is  the  case  in  which  the  charge  was  made 
that  Monroe  Salisbury,  who  was  under  suspension, 
was  directing  the  racing  stable.  The  evidence  was 
to  the  effect  that  Mr.  Salisbury  was  only  am  employe 
and  that  the  entries  were  made  by  Mr.  Butler  and 
the  racing  managed  by  Chas.  DeRyder. 


Dan  Misner  is  located  at  Pleasanton  for  <the  winter 
with  eight  head  of  trotters  and  pacers,  among  them 
the  trotter  Homeway  2:14%,  owned  by  Gus  Lindauer 
of  this  cMy.  who  thinks  the  gelding  holds  a  world's 
record.  In  the  race  at  Los  Angeles  where  he  beat 
Lady  Jones  and  several  other  good  ones  in  a  four-heat 
race  Homeway  trotted  the  second  heat  in  2:14%, 
which  Mr.  Lindauer  thinks  is  the  fastest  time  ever 
made  in  a  race  by  a  fifteen-year-old  trotter.  Home- 
way  is  certainly  a  great  trotter  for  his  age  and  the 
razooing  he  has  had.  Mr.  Misner  thinks  he  can  trot 
a  mile  in  2:12.  If  anyone  owns  a  fifteen-year-old 
trotter  that  has  beaten  2:14%  in  a  race,  or  has  heard 
of  one  that  has  done  it.  Mr.  Lindauer  would  like  to 
hear  about  it. 


Secretary  Horace  W.  Wilson  has  already  rented 
seventeen  of  the  private  boxes  in  the  grand  stand 
at  the  Kentucky  Breeders'  Association  track,  Lex- 
ington, Ky.,  for  the  fall  meeting  of  1906 ,  which 
leaves  only  seven  boxes  so  far  unengaged  for  next 
season.  During  'the  spring  a  dozen  or  more  boxes 
will  be  added  to  the  stand. 


A  prominent  horseman  said  to  a  New  York  corres- 
pondent in  the  lobby  of  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel  during 
the  Board  of  Review  meeting:  "You  knew  the  Grand 
Circuit  is  not  always  a  harmonious  body.  It  would 
not  surprise  me  to  see  two  factions  spring  up  within 
the  next  four  or  five  years,  which  would  result  in  a 
split  and  two  big  circuits — one  in  the  East  and  one 
in  the  West,  with  a  season's  windup,  as  now.  at  some 
Southern  point  where  the  best  horses  of  each  circuit 
could  meet.  I  am  not  so  sure  but  what  a  division  of 
the  Grand  Circuit  into  an  Eastern  and  a  Western 
circuit  would  be  a  good  thing  for  racing  men,  pro- 
vided the  two  circuits  were  of  equal  caliber.  It 
would  save  horsemen  much  expense  in  shipping,  and 
give  them  twice  as  many  chances  to  earn  money." 


Five  thouasnd  people,  prominent  in  socie:y  and 
politics,  attended  the  formal  opening  of  the  New  Cen- 
tury speedway,  Washington,  D.  C,  held  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Road  Drivers'  and  Riders'  Association 
of  Washington.  The  course  is  on  a  government  res- 
ervation of  about  a  mile  and  seventy  yards  in  length, 
and  runs  from  a  point  near  the  old  Naval  Observatory 
south  to  and  along  the  Potomac  river  front,  whence 
the  speedway  turns  into  Nineteenth  street,  following 
that  for  a  considerable  distance.  The  course  is  with- 
in a  half  mile  of  the  White  House  grounds.  A  pro- 
gram of  five  trotting  and  pacing  races,  half-mile 
heats,  in  which  local  horses  participated,  had  been 
provided    for  opening   day. 


John  Shepard  says  Ethel's  Pride  2:06%  and  Reina 
2:12%  make  the  nicest  pole  team  he  has  ever  had 
anything  to  do  with.  The  dean  of  the  road  is  a  mas- 
ter in  the  art  of  mating  trotters. 


Charley  DeRyder  holds  a  record.  The  Board  of 
Review  gave  him  back  half  of  that  $100  which  Start- 
ing Judge  Frank  Walker  put  on  him  at  Readville  a 
year  ago  last  August. 


THE  CHRISTMAS  NUMBERS  of  the  Eastern  horse 
papers  that  have  reached  our  desk  are  all,  without 
exception,  very  handsomely  printed  and  filled  with 
good  reading.  The  American  Horse  Breeder  of  Bos- 
ton was  the  first  to  come,  then  the  Chicago  Horse- 
man, quickly  followed  by  the  Horse  Review  of  the 
same  city,  then  the  Trotter  and  Pacer  of  New  York, 
the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm,  the  Rural  Spirit  of  Port- 
land and  the  Horse  World  of  Buffalo.  Each  number 
contains  a  feast  for  a  horseman  and  has  individuality 
of  its  own  that  makes  it  absolutely  essential  to  one's 
satisfaction  that  he  reads  them  all.  We  advise  every 
person  interested  in  harness  horses  to  buy  all  the 
Christmas  numbers.  They  are  worth  more  than  the 
price  asked. 


The  stallion  Allie  Wilkes  2:15  is  now  credited  with 
forty-four  standard  performers,  having  put  two  new 
ones  in  the  list  this  year.  Three  secured  reduced 
records.  Allie  Wilkes  is  owned  at  Niles.  Ohio,  where 
he  is  in  the  stud. 


A  patent  has  been  taken  out  on  a  sliding  seat  for 
the  racing  sulky.  The  inventor  claims  that  the  shift- 
ing of  the  driver's  weight  will  materially  increase  the 
speed  of  the  horse  at  times  while  at  others  the  ani- 
mal will  be  able  to  travel  at  greater  ease  upon  the 
position  of  the  seat  being  changed  again. 


Dan  Selsor,  who  left  Pleasanton  for  San  Jose  in 
charge  of  Ed  Mills  stallion.  Lecco  2:09%,  and  found 
on  reaching  the  Garden  City  that  the  horse  was  billed 
through  to  Macon.  Georgia,  and  there  was  nothing 
else  to  do  but  stay  with  him,  has  returned  to  Pleasan- 
ton. Dan  now  claims  the  record  as  a  box-car  tourist, 
Lecco  having  been  shipped  in  that  sort  of  car.  He 
says  no  horse  ever  made  as  long  a  trip  and  left  the 
car  feeling  and  looking  so  well  as  Lecco  did. 


"Columbus"  writes  as  follows  from  Kansas  to  the 
Western  Horseman:  'Every  few  weeks  a  shipment  of 
carriage,  coach  and  road  horses  passes  through  Kan- 
sas, bound  for  the  City  of  Mexico.  Only  recently  Jose 
Ballkna,  of  the  City  of  Mexico,  went  over  the  Santa 
Fe  railroad  with  an  express-car  load  of  twenty-eight 
head  of  trotting  bred  horses  suitable  for  carriage  or 
coach  use,  that  cost  from  $800  to  $2500  per  pair.  The 
Mexicans  are  critical  buyers  and  willing  to  pay  good 
prices  for  horses  with  quality,  size,  style  and  action. 
For  a  number  of  years  this  trade  with  Mexico  in 
trotting  bred  horses  large  enough  to  draw  a  carriage 
has  been  steadily  increasing,  and  promises  to  grow 
better  in  the  future." 


The  statement  that  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company 
would  not  hold  a  sale  at  Cleveland  this  year  is-  un- 
true. This  company  did  not  hold  a  sale  at  Cleveland 
last  May  for  reasons  too  well  known  to  need  mention 
here,  but  never  intended  to  abandon  the  Cleveland 
market,  where  it  owns  a  completely  equipped  sales 
mart.  The  Cleveland  sale  of  this  company  will  be 
held  in  May,  1906,  the  exact  dates  to  be  announced 
later.  This  sale  has  always  been  the  one  sale  of  the 
year  that  appealed  to  California  horsemen,  offering 
them  the  one  opportunity  to  show  speed  "under  the 
watch,"  an  opportunity  afforded  them  by  no  other 
sale  nor  no  other  sales  firm.  Even  at  this  early  date 
we  feel  able  to  say  that  the  1906  Blue  Ribbon  Sale, 
as  the  Cleveland  sale  has  always  been  called,  will 
rank  favorably  with  any  sale  ever  held  there. 


The  harness  horse  business  is  looking  like  old 
times  at  Marysville,  where  the  track  is  in  fine  shape 
for  winter  work.  J.  J.  Sangster  and  "Dad"  Morris  of 
Tulare  are  at  the  Marysville  track  with  six  head  of 
very  promising  ones.  They  are  working  a  son  of 
McNear  for  Col.  Forbes  of  the  Western  Pacific  Rail- 
way that  is  showing  up  well.  Also  two  fine  fillies 
owned  by  William  Leech  that  are  by  Baron  Bretto. 
out  of  Silver  Bells  by  Silver  King.  There  are  many 
other  horses  at  the  track,  all  doing  well.  There  may 
be  something  doing  in  the  way  of  a  harness  meeting 
at  Marysville  during  the  summer  of  1906.  The  com- 
ing of  the  new  railroad  has  made  the  whole  country 
boom,  and  a  good  harness  meeting  would  draw  a 
large  attendance. 


A.  E.  Mastin  of  Sacramento  has  sold  to  Mr.  Al 
Pryor  of  Ben  Lomond.  Santa  Cruz  county,  the  pacing 
stallion  John  A.  2:12%  by  Wayland  W.  2:12%,  sire  of 
Bolivar  2:06»i.  etc.  The  price  paid  was  $1200.  John 
A.  is  a  fine  looking,  large  stallion,  with  a  world  of 
speed,  and  being  well  bred  should  be  an  excelent  horse 
for   Santa  Cruz  breeders   to  patronize.

S.  G.  C. — The  outcome  of  breeding  your  trotting 
mare  to  a  Percheron  stallion  is  one  of  those  things 
"mo  fellow  can  find  out"  until  the  foal  is  born  and 
reaches  maturity.  We  have  seen  a  few  very  hand- 
some horses  bred  that  way.  and  more  that  were  non- 
descripts.  You  will  be  mixing  two  breeds  and  there 
is  no  telling  what  the  result  will  be.  Would  advise 
you  to  secure  a  Percheron  mare  weighing  not  less 
than  1500  pounds  to  breed  t.>  the  horse  you  name  and 
to  breed  your  trotting  mare  to  the  best  trotting  stal- 
lion  within  your  reach.

A  subscriber  of  ilie  Breeder  and  Sportsman  wishes 
to  know  if.  any  of  our  leaders  can  give  the  breeding 
of  a  horse  called  Tippo,  shipped  to  California  about 
22  years  ago  from  Canada,  and  after  making  one  sea- 
son about  Petaluma  and  Sonoma  was  returned  to 
Canada.  Anyone  knowing  anything  about  this  horse 
will  confer  a  favor  by  notifying  this  office. 


The  Biggs  Stock  Farm  at  Burns.  Oregon,  is  the

Mr.  C.  A.  Durfee  is  getting  out  of  the  horse  busi- 
ness pretty  fast.  He  advertised  all  his  horses  for  sale 
two  months  ago  and  has  disposed  of  all  the  mares — 
four  in  number,  and  all  the  colts.  He  has  two  stal-

The  famous  trotting  mare  Sweet  Marie,  owned  by 
Mr.  William  Garland,  of  Los  Angeles,  figured  as  the 
principal  in  a  runaway  accident  at  Albany.  N.  Y.. 
recently.  She  is  being  wintered  at  Alta  P.  Macdon- 
ald's  place  on  the  Albany  road  in  Albany.  While  be- 
ing driven  in  charge  of  Mr.  Macdonald's  second 
trainer,  the  animal  became  frightened  at  an  automo- 
bile, shied  and  broke  one  of  the  wheels  of  the  exer- 
cising cart,  throwing  out  the  driver.  The  mare  ran 
several  miles  directly  to  her  stable,  and  although  she 
freed  herself  entirely  from  the  vehicle  and  harness 
she  was  uninjured.  The  driver  was  not  seriously 
hurt.

It  is  reported  that  an  offer  of  $15,000  for  the  fast 
three-year-old  colt  Silence,  by  Chimes,  dam  Whisper 
2;0S%,  by  Alcander  2:20*^,  has  been  turned  down  by 
Samuel  Hyde  of  Fail  River,  Mass  It  was  Silence 
that  forced  Bon  Boyage  3,  2:12%  to  his  record. 


Vance  Nuckols.  the  well  known  trainer  who  resides 
at  Glenville.  Ohio,  has  four  year  old  stallion  that  he 
thinks  would  make  a  success  in  California.  The  colt 
is  certainly  bred  right  as  he  is  by  the  great  Baron

Mr.  Geo.  H  Birdno,  of  Safford.  Graham  county, 
Arizona,  visited  Petaluma  two  weeks  ago  and  pur- 
chased from  Brown  &  Brandon  the  very  handsome 
and  fast  stallion  Meridian  2:12:!!4,  shipping  him  to 
Safford  the  same  week.  Meridian  was  not  only  a  fast 
and  game  race  horse,  but  is  proving  an  excellent  sire, 
his  colts  all  being  strong .  lusty  fellows  with  great 
natural  speed.  Meridian  is  by  Sl.nrnocolon  2:13^, 
dam  Sidane  by  Sidney,  second  dam  Addie  S.  by 
Steinway.  No  horse  on  the  coast  carr.es  as  much  of 
the  Strathmore  blood  in  his  veins  as  Meridian  and  he 
should  be  a  very  valuable  horse  for  the  horsemen  of 
Arizona  to  patronize.  If  trained  he  could  doubtless 
lower  his  present  record  as  he  is  as  sound  as  the  day 
lie  was  foaled. 


John  Martin,  the  well  known  fruit  grower  of  Wood- 
land, Yolo  county,  has  a  trio  of  geldings  by  Diablo 
2:09%  that  look  like  future  prize  winners.  He  has 
a  three-year-old  and  a  two-year-old,  both  bays  that 
are  fine  individuals,  and  very  promising  from  a  speed 
standpoint.  A  brown  two-year-old  by  Diablo  out  of 
Buttonette,  own  sister  to  Gen  Logan,  sire  of  Miss 
Logan  2: 06*4-  is  certainly  one  of  the  largest  and 
handsomest  geldings  the  writer  has  seen  in  many  a 
day.     Both   these  two-year-olds  are  natural  pacers. 


Zombowyette  by  Zombro  reduced  her  record  to

The  Coronado  Country  Club  has  planned  two 
months  of  fine  sport,  commencing  on  February  5th. 
The  program  includes  polo  pony  racing,  club  tennis 
championships  in  golf  for  men  and  women,  long- 
distance automobile  race  from  Los  Angeles  to  Coro- 
nado, automobile  races  for  two  and  i^ur  cylinder  cars, 
economy  races  for  automobiles  and  a  pigeon  shooting 
carnival.  The  last  event  will  take  place  the  first  part 
of  April.     Many  local  men  will  compete. 


A  dozen  farmers  and  business  men  of  Woodland. 
Yolo  county,  have  recently  formed  an  association  and 
purchased  the  French  coach  stallion  Caton  3S96.  for 
the  sum  of  $2,700.  Caton  is  said  to  be  one  of  the 
finest  specimens  of  this  breed  ever  brought  to  Cali- 
fornia, and  will  doubtless  be  well  patronized  by  the 
horse  breeders  of  Yolo  county. 


The  chestnut  gelding  Custer  ow  ned  by  Mr.  J.  C 
Adams  of  Phoenix,  Arizona,  iss  howing  great  speed 
at  the  pacing  gait.  He  started  against  Zolock,  Hazel 
Patch  and  Daedalion  at  the  Phoenix  Fair  this  week 
and  won  third  money,  finishing  in  rront  of  Daedalion. 
For  a  green  horse  this  is  a  remarkable  showing. 
Custer  is  by  Sidney  Dillon,  out  of  Maud,  dam  of 
Maudee  2:2-1  ^4  and  Legation  2:23^  by  Nutwood,  and 
was  bred  at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm.  He  was 
purchased  by  Mr.  Adams  as  a  two-year-old  at  the 
farm  sale  in  this  city  in  June  1903.  for  $120.  Horse- 
men who  have  seen  him  in  his  work  believe  he  can 
beat  2:10  rather  handily.

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


Zambia  2:14%,  the  eight  year  old  mare  bred  by  Mr. 
A.  B.  Spreckels,  sired  by  Cupid  2:  IS,  own  brother  to  I 
Sidney  Dillon,  and  out  of  Gallata  by  Stamboul,  sec-j 
ond  dam  Jenny,  the  dam  of  Hulda  2:0S^>,  etc.  by  Bull 
Pup,  is  the  dam  of  a  two  year  old  by  Arion  2:07%, 
that  is  now  owned  by  Charley  Dean,  the  Illinois 
trainer,  and  is  considered  a  great  trotting  prospect. 


Although  the  "Old  Glory"  sale  was  concluded  less 
than  four  weeks  ago,  at  which  auction  1.000  head  of 
trotters  and  pacers  were  disposed  of.  prospects  for  the 
Mid-Winter  sale  of  the  Fasig-Tipton  Company  .look 
extremely  bright.  Fully  half  of  the  horses  that  the 
firm  will  be  able  to  handle  during  the  five  days,  | 
January  29  to  February  2.  are  already  consigned. 
Walnut  Hall  Farm,  Donerail.  Ky  ,  has  consigned  forty 
head  of  youngsters,  mostly  by  the  great  sire  Moko. 
It  is  the  first  consignment  that  that  famous  breeding 
establishment  has  ever  sent  to  the  New  York  market. 


Manager  H.  2:20.  has  been  recently  purchased  by 
A.  G.  F.  Stice  of  Brookfield,  Mo.,  who  also  owns  his 
sire.  Manager  2:06.  Manager  H.  is  the  champion 
yearling  pacer  of  the  world.  He  will  be  kept  up  dur- 
ing the  winter  and  in  the  spring  will  be  put  in  train- 
ing with  a  view  to  lowering  the  world's  record  for 
two-year-old  pacers  which  at  the  present  time  is  held 
by  Directly  with  a  record  of  2:07%  made  in  1S94. 


Every  wound  or  sore  on  a  horse  should  be  washed 
daily  with  an  antiseptic  solution.  If  this  is  done  the 
wound  will  heal  quicker  than  if  left  alone  and  there 
will  be  no  danger  of  the  sore  getting-  worse  and  finally 
causing  the  death  of  the  animal.  The  best  antiseptic 
solutions  are  made  from  the  coal  tar  preparations — 
carbolic  acid.  etc.  These  may  be  mixed  with  w-ater 
in  the  proportion  of  one  to  eight.  If  these  are  notl 
handy  borax  used  in  the  water  or  sprinkled  on  the  j 
wound  immediately  after  washing  it  is  a  good 
antiseptic. 

During   the   season    Prince   Alert   tvas   sent   against 
the    watch.      His    appearance    created    much     excite- 
ment.     He    is    the    first    pacer    to    appear   on    Austrian 
tracks    and    his    performance    may    encourage    Euro- 
peans   to    take    up   the   side-wheelers.      Prince   Alert's 
wonderful    flight    of    speed    astonished    the    spectators,! 
particularly    when,   on    September   10.   he   paced    a    full 
mile  in   2:07   5-10.     It  was  difficult  to  secure  a  pace-l 
maker    lor    Prinze    Alert,    and    he    was   greatly    handi-  { 
capped  in  his  speed  trials.

TROTTING,     QAITINQ    AND    BALANCING. 


i-i.i  l     .1  ii. 1 


Paper  read  before  the  members  of  the  Chicago  Veter- 
inary  Society  by   O.   E.  Dyson,   M.  D.  C,  Chief  In- 
spector.     Bureau      of      Animal      Industry. 


My  object  in  presenting  the  subject  of  shoeing  and 
incidentally  that  of  gaiting  and  balancing  fast  trot- 
ters, pacers  and  ordinary  road  horses,  is  to  remind 
the  members  of  this  association  that  an  important 
branch  of  the  profession  has  been  neglected  to  such 
an  extent  in  the  past  that  the  owner  of  a  knee-knock- 
ing, forging,  interfering  or  scalping  horse  seldom  ap- 
peals to  the  veterinarian  for  assistance.  Lucrative 
fees  are  thereby  overlooked,  and  the  horse,  perhaps  a 
prize,  or  at  least  a  serviceable  animal,  is  sacrificed, 
or,  even  worse,  allowed  to  pass  from  good  hands  to 
a  cheap  owner,  whose  only  object  is  to  pound  so  much 
work  out  of  every  horse,  regardless  of  the  pain  and 
torture  endured.  From  a  humanitarian  standpoint  the 
veterinarian  should  at  least  have  a  knowledge  of  the 
art  of  shoeing  for  the  purpose  of  correcting  or  over- 
coming faulty  gaits,  rather  than  leaving  the  animal 
to  the  tender  mercies  of  the  blacksmith,  who,  nine 
times  out  of  ten,  is  only  interested  to  the  extent  of 
the  price  of  shoeing. 

The  natural  gaits  of  a  horse  are  the  walk,  trot,  pace 
and  gallop.  "Without  attempting  to  describe  the  ac- 
quired or  saddle  gaits,  the  running- walk,  foxtrot, 
single-foot  and  canter  may  be  referred  to  as  accom- 
plishments and  the  result  of  education. 

Imperfections  in  the  above-mentioned  gaits  are  due 
to  many  natural  causes,  such  as  lack  of  education. 
faulty  conformation  or  abnormalities  and  from  ac- 
quired causes,  such  as  improper  temperament,  exces- 
sive or  non-development  of  certain  voluntary  muscles 
involved  in  the  act  of  locomotion,  or  they  may  be  due 
to  ignorance  of  the  owner  or  blacksmith  as  to  the 
adaptability  of  the  animal  and  the  proper  method  of 
shoeing  for   the   purpose    intended. 

"While  not  posing  as  an  authority  on  shoeing,  I  have 

•  as  the  result  of  my  observation  and  experience  during 
the  past  twenty  years  associated  a  few  facts  in  regard 
to  the  development  of  speed,  with  the  art  of  horse- 
shoeing, or  what  might  more  properly  be  termed  the 
art  of  shoeing  and  the  phenomena  of  speed  develop- 
ment. 

The  first  principles  necessary  to  observe  with  the 
object  of  having  a  perfectly  gaited  horse,  is  to  study 
the  individual  and  associate  such  facts  as  regards 
conformation  and  general  makeup,  with  his  way  of 
going  as  ordinarily  shod,  at  a  clip  which  is  intended 
to  be  utilized.  The  next  step  to  be  considered,  and 
the  one  which  should  govern  the  proper  method  of 
shoeing,  is  the  horse's  temperament  The  horse  should 
always  be  shod  according  to  the  dimensions  of  his 
mental   caliber. 

Shoeing  cannot  in  all  instances,  however,  be  made 
a  panacea  for  correcting  faulty  gaits  of  horses.  In- 
telligent bitting  and  driving  must  not  be  overlooked, 
especially  if  the  animal  is  of  a  high-strung  nervous 
temperament,  and  in  some  instances,  owing  to  a  lack 
of  mental  co-ordination,  the  desired  result  cannot  be 
accomplished  by  either  shoeing  or  bitting.  Resort 
must  then  be  made  to  mechanical  means,  by  use  of 
hopples. 

Hits  and  checks  may  also  be  included  among  the 
mechanical  means  of  gaiting  and  balancing  horses,  and 
frequently  take  the  place  of  considerable  weight  which 
would  otherwise  be  necessary  to  add  to  or  take  from 
the  shoe,  in  order  to  accomplish  the  purpose. 

A  good  driver  should,  through  the  agency  of  bit 
and  rein,  be  able  to  transmit  motor  impulses  originat- 
ing in  his  own  brain  to  the  horse.  A  poor  driver,  on 
the  other  hand,  is  not  only  unable  to  transmit  such 
impulse,  but  constantly  interrupts  the  natural  motor 
impulses  originating  in  the  brain  of  the  horse,  thereby 
frequently  causing  a  good-gaited  horse  to  become  ad- 
dicted to  the  habit  of  inco-ordination.  with  its  attend- 
ing results.  You  have  all  no  doubt  witnessed  the  dis- 
astrous results  of  placing  a  good-gaited  horse  in  a 
poor    driver's    hands. 

Interfering  is  probably  the  most  constant  source  of 
annoyance.  In  front  it  is  usually  due  to  faulty  con- 
formation, involving  the  chest  or  forequarter.  The 
thoroughbred  type  may  be  cited  as  confirmed  inter- 
feres, geldings,  owing  to  early  castration,  being  par- 
ticularly predisposed.  "With  this  typp  of  a  horse  in- 
terfering is  usually  due  directly  to  the  fact  that  he  is 
narrow  chested,  and  good  action  is  seldom  associated 
with  this  type,  as  a  large  majority  are  stiff-kneed, 
owing  to  a  lack  of  natural  muscular  development 
Contrast  the  above  type  with  that  of  a  stag  or  stallion 
and  note  the  difference  in  conformation,  style  and 
action. 

Calf-kneed  horses,  unless  heavy  in  the  chest,  with 
legs  set  well  apart,  are  apt  to  be  troublesome.  The 
same  may  be  said  of  horses  with  straight  pasterns. 
Low  headed  and  sluggish  horses  might  also  be  placed 
in  this  class.  Horses  that  toe  out  are  notorious,  and 
can  invariably  be  placed  in  the  interfering  and  knee- 
knocking  type,  with  legs  set  well  apart.  Pacers  seem 
to  be  particularly  prone  to  this  malformation,  and  a 
pair  of  knee-boots  must  accompany  every  trotter  or 
pacer  that  possesses  a  three-minute  clip,  if  he  stands 
toed  out.  En  this  connection  it  may  be  added  that 
pigeon-toed  horses  never  interfere  or  hit  their  knees. 

Interfering  behind  is  so  common  that  no  class  or 
tvpe  of  horse  can  be  excepted,  as  the  fault  arises  from 
causes  too  numerous  to  mention.  First  of  all.  nar- 
row, drooping-hipped,  low-going  trotters  are  the 
worst  offenders.  On  the  contrary,  pacers  seldom  if 
ever  interfere,  except  in  walking  or  going  slow.  Green 
horses  are  apt  to  interfere  during  the  first  six  months 
of  their  city  life,  as  it  requires  at  least  a  period  of 
that  length  to  overcome  such  predisposing  causes  as 
walking  in  a  narrow  furrow  during  the  early  spring 
work  on  the  farm,  and  later  in  the  season  perhaps  do- 
ing  more   or   less   travel   over   country   roads,    where   a 

•  wide-gaited    horse   finds   it    very    tiresome   to   cover   a 


distance    of  a    lew    miles    with    one    font   in 
the   other  upon  a   ridge. 

In  substantiation  of  the  theories  expressed  regard- 
ing the  farm  horse,  it  may  be  said  that  trotting-bred 
colts,  notwithstanding  manifest  predisposition  owing  to 
conformation,  seldom  interfere  after  a  season's  work 
at  the  track,  owing  entirely  to  a  uniform  development 
of  their  muscular  system,  and  an  intelligent  method 
of  shoeing  with  an  object  of  overcoming  such  defects, 
whether   natural   or  acquired. 

Knee-knockers  may  ordinarily  be  placed  in  two  dis- 
tinct classes.  First  the  high-going  horse  that  toes 
out.  and  second,  the  low-going,  narrow-chested  trot- 
ter or  pacer  with  speed.  Beware  of  the  latter,  as  he 
will  also,  in  all  probability,  interfere  when  going  slow. 

Gorging,  scalping  and  shin-hitting  are  the  direct 
causes  of  hitching  behind,  and  can  usually  be  asso- 
ciated with  trotters,  owing  to  their  inability  to  prop- 
erly extend  themselves  in  front.  This  condition  ap- 
plies particularly  to  a  class  of  horses  with  extensor 
flexor  muscles  equally  developed  behind,  and  compara- 
tively high,  full  action,  a  straight  or  otherwise,  in  con- 
trast to  a  dwelling,  forward  movement  or  turning  of 
the  fore  feet,  complicated  by  a  lateral  twisting  or 
turning  of  the  foot,  or  leg.  either  in  or  out.  due  to 
nondevelopment  of  the  extensor  muscles  of  the  anterior 
limb.  Line-pacers  will  frequently  brush  their  hind 
coronet  hard  enough  to  cause  them  to  hitch  or  roll 
in  their  efforts  to  avoid  the  contact,  which  seriously 
interferes  with  the  development  of  speed. 

Horses  that  carry  a  high  head  on  account  of  tender 
mouths  are  frequently  addicted  to  the  habit  of  inter- 
fering with  the  coronary  band  behind,  owing  to  the 
fact  that  their  attention  is  concentrated  on  the  mouth. 
Here  it  is  plain  to  be  seen  that  the  reflex  motor 
impulses  in  excess  cause  a  high  free  action  in  front 
at  the  expense  of  their  hind  action.  WThen  proper 
bitting  fails  in  such  cases  it  is  often  necessary  to  use 
a  shoe  much  heavier  behind  than  in  front.  In  order 
to  overcome  or  counterbalance  the  reflected  motor  im- 
pulses. On  the  other  hand  pullers  and  luggers  are 
frequently  the  result  of  a  lack  of  requisite  amount  of 
weight  in  the  front  shoes  or  an  excessive  weight  in 
the  hind  shoes  necessary  to  balance  the  brain. 

Hitting  the  elbows  is  due  to  overdevelopment  of 
the  flexor  muscles  and  in  order  to  overcome  the  fault 
it  has  been  found  necessary  to  develop  the  extensors 
by  use  of  toe-weights  In  many  instances,  however, 
it  will  be  found  necessary  to  let  the  heels  grow  high 
in  order  to  lessen  the  tension  upon  the  flexor  muscles. 
This  will  to  some  extent  retard  flexion  until  momen- 
tum has  carried  the  body  past  the  center  of  gravity  or 
the  point  where  flexion  ceases  and  extension  begins. 
That  is,  the  object  should  be  to  intercept  the  act  of 
flexion  before  it  is  completed  and  hasten  the  act  of 
extension.  In  case  the  offender  has  long  toes  it  may 
be  necessary  to  shorten  them  or  to  add  a  small  toe- 
calk  to  the  shoe,  which  in  many  instances  will  suffice 
without  the  addition  of  toe-weights. 

Anticipating  the  question.  "How  is  a  person  to 
know  when  the  horse  is  properly  gaited  and  balanced?" 
I  can  only  answer  by  saying  that  it  depends  entirely 
upon  the  judgment  of  the  driver,  or  the  person  super- 
intending the  shoeing.  Mention  might  be  made  of  a 
few  cardinal  points,  however.  For  instance,  any  man. 
unless  he  be  devoid  of  sensation,  may  observe  when  a 
horse  driven  on  a  level  road  gives  him  the  sensation 
of  driving  on  a  down  grade  that  horse  needs  a  weight 
to  develop  his  extension  in  front.  On  the  other  hand, 
should  he  seem  to  be  ascending  or  climbing  a  grade, 
the  reverse  is  true,  and  the  remedy  would  be  to  lessen 
the  weight  in  front  and  increase  it  behind.  You  should 
always  be  able  to  drive  a  well  balanced  horse  without 
a  check,  and  not  experience  the  sensations  mentioned. 

The  wonderful  speed  attained  by  trotters  and  pacers 
during  the  past  few  years  has.  without  question,  been 
solely  due  to  the  development  of  brain  and  nerve,  of 
which  an  inherited  trotting  or  pacing  instinct  is  a 
result  in  the  progeny  of  developed  sires  and  dams.  In 
proof  of  this  fact  reference  might  be  made  to  the 
thoroughbred,  whose  development  by  contrast  would 
seem  insignificant,  and  may  be  accounted  for  by  the 
fact  that  the  same  system  of  shoeing  and  training  now 
in  vogue  was  in  use  twenty  years  ago.  brain  and  nerve 
development  having  been  almost  wholly  confinded  to 
the  jockey  and  trainer  and  the  natural  results  or 
heridity. 

A  normally  developed  brain  and  nervous  system  will 
invariably  reflect  the  physical  condition  On  the 
other  hand,  the  physical  condition  will  reflect  an  ab- 
normality. Most  of  the  world's  r  .-cords  in  tests  of 
speed  and  endurance  are  held  by  stallions,  by  mere 
force  of  predominating  will  power.  "Conditioning  the 
brain"  should  therefore  be  used  in  lieu  of  the  familiar 
term  "legging  him  up,'*  as  expressed  by  horsemen 
when  preparing  a  horse  to  carry  his  speed  and  go 
the   route. 

In  shoeing  horses  to  obviate  or  overcome  a  faulty 
conformation  or  gait  it  must  be  remembered  that  in 
the  beginning  of  the  stride  the  foot  leaves  the  ground 
from  the  point  farthest  from  the  median  line  or  center 
of  gravity,  and  the  greatest  muscular  efforts  in  flexing 
the  limb  from  that  point  are  confined  to  the  muscles 
farthest  removed.  For  example — in  a  horse  that  toes 
out  the  abductor  muscles  that  assist  in  the  art  of 
flexion  are  highly  developed  in  comparison  with  the 
abductors  involved  in  the  act.  Consequently  the  foot, 
during  its  elevation,  is  in  such  a  position  as  to  cause 
it  to  describe  the  arc  of  a  circle  during  the  act  of 
extension,  thereby  bringing  it  in  contact  with  the 
ankle,  shin  or  knee,  depending  of  course  upon  the 
height  of  the  flexion.  The  same  is  true  with  a  pigeon- 
\<<.-- ■■]    horse,   except    that    the  arc  of  (he  circle  described 

is  that  of  abduction,  consequently  there  is  never  any 
interference  with  the  opposite  member.  In  either  cast, 
however,  there  is  ;i |it  to  he  considerable  interference 
with  the  forward  movement  of  the  hind  foot  or  leg 
while  partly  extended,  and  at  that  time  the  act  of 
forging,  shin-hitting,  scalping  or  grabbing  the  quarter 
occurs    with    trotters.      With    pacers    only    the   act    of 


abduction  of  the  forefoot  causes  any  interference  with 
the  forward  movement  (if  the  opposite  hind  foot,  the 
usual  result  of  which  is  grabbing  the  quarter  oi  brush- 
ing the  hind  coronet. 

It  would  be  impossible  to  form  set  rules  for  shoeing 
in  order  to  overcome  defects  in  gait,  either  natural, 
owing  to  conformation,  predisposition  and  tempera- 
ment, or  acquired,  as  heretofore  mentioned.  A  safe 
rule  to  follow,  however,  is  to  ascertain  the  cause  and 
overcome  it  by  menial  balance  or  physical  develop- 
ment. 

In  this  connection  I  have  no  hesitancy  in  saying 
that  too  much  attention  has  been  given  to  the  foot 
and  apparently  no  notice  taken  by  the  average  horse 
owner  or  blacksmith  of  the  fact  that  a  horse  is  pos- 
sessed of  a  brain,  which  controls  all  voluntary  move- 
ments, and  that  too  much  emphasis  cannot  be  placed 
upon  the  fact  that  the  highest  nerve  centers  have 
been  in  the  ordinary  process  of  mechanical  shoeing, 
habitually  subordinated  to  inferior,  or  pedal  extrem- 
ities 

A  term  which  fully  expressed  my  theory  of  horse 
shoeing  is  "Shoe  for  the  purpose  of  balancing  the 
brain,"  or  in  other  words,  for  the  purpose  of  physical 
development,  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of 
perfect  co-ordination  between  the  brain  and  voluntary 
muscular  system  involved  in  the  development  of  a 
natural  or  acquired  gait,  rather  than  a  purely  mechan- 
ical standpoint.  When  you  have  succeeded  in  doing 
this  you  may  depend  upon  the  rest  of  the  animal 
economy  to  work  in  unison,  and  rapid  progress  can 
then  be  made  in  the  development  of  an  ideal  road 
horse  or  of  prospective  speed.  It  might  be  well,  how- 
ever, to  mention  the  use  of  hopples  as  the  only  suc- 
cessful mechanical  means  of  overcoming  inco-ordina- 
tion of  motor  impulses  in  trotters  or  pacers,  when 
physical  and  functional  development  fails.  But  in 
proof  of  the  fact  that  physical  and  mental  develop- 
ment go  hand  in  hand,  note  the  scarcity  of  hoppled 
trotters  today  in  comparison  with  a  few  years  ago. 
when  the  system  of  development  and  training  was 
simply  mechanical. 

Motor  impulses  are  always  the  result  of  stimuli 
originating  by  direct  or  reflex  action  upon  the  sen- 
sory nerves,  and  transmitted  to  the  brain  for  the  pur- 
pose of  elaboration  and  direction.  Thus  we  find  that  ■ 
voluntary  muscles  to  which  motor  impulses  are  direct- 
ed in  excess  of  other  muscles,  develop  accordingly,  or 
according  to  their  use  or  disuse.  As  mental  and  phy- 
sical development  in  all  instances  is  directly  responsi- 
ble for  the  perfection  of  the  gait  of  a  sound  horse, 
and  being  directly  subject  to  the  will  of  man,  through 
education,  it  is  plain  to  be  seen  that  the  effect  of 
increasing  or  diminishing  the  weight  in  the  shoe,  or 
changing  the  angle  of  the  foot,  and  consequently  the 
position  of  the  limb,  will  be  communicated  to  the 
brain  and  transformed  into  motor  impulses,  and  the 
desired  effect,  that  of  development  of  the  muscles 
necessary  to  overcome  the  original  defect,  will  be 
accomplished. 

The  greatest  difficulty  encountered  in  shoeing  horses 
for  the  purpose  of  gaiting  or  balancing  is  to  be  able 
to  convince  the  owner  that  instantaneous  results  can- 
not be  accomplished.  It  is  impossible  to  immediately 
overcome  excessive  or  non-development,  either  physi- 
cal or  functional,  by  merely  changing  the  angle  of  the 
foot,  the  weight  or  the  shape  of  the  shoes. 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  common  points  to 
be  observed  before  attempting  to  direct  the  shoeing 
of  a  horse  to  prevent  interfering,  or  to  overcome 
a  faulty  gait: 

First  note  the  general  conformation  and  posture  of 
the  feet  and  legs  with  reference  to  their  anatomical 
relations,  while  standing  in  a  natural  position.  Ry 
standing  in  front  of  the  animal  and  drawing  an  imag- 
inary line  from  the  upper  portion  of  the  legs  to  the 
point  of  the  toe,  any  abnormality  such  as  toeing  out 
or  in  can   be  readily  discerned. 

Change  your  position  and  note  the  pastern  with  ref- 
erence to  its  straightness  or  obliquity  A  slight  spring- 
ing or  tendency  toward  being  calf -kneed  may  also  be 
noted  at   this   time. 

Pick  up  each  foot  and  carei'ully  note  how  each  shoe 
has  been  worn,  their  approximate  weight  and  length 
of  service,  and  make  a  careful  inquiry  of  the  driver 
as  regards  the  horse's  disposition  and  driving  quali- 
ties.    Also  observe  the  kind  of  bit  and  check  used. 

Then  have  the  horse  driven  over  a  smooth  pavement, 
directly  in  front  of  you  for  a  short   distance  ai 
turned   in   the  same  manner,   at  a   clip   ordinarily   re- 
quired or  generally  utilized.     From  this  position  ft   is 
easy   to   note    the   carriage   of   the   foot   or   limb  during 
the   progress   of   the   stride.      After    viewing    m, 
from    this    position,    both    at    rest    and    in    motio 
back  a  few   paces,  have  him  driven    past   you   several 
times  in  order  that  you  may  carefully  not 
of  tlexion  and   the  act  of  extension,   either   of   which 
may    I  e  primary  cause  of  interference  or   faults    gait, 
and  possibly  as  easily  remedied  as  Si     I 

During  this  exercise  every  movement  of  the  animal 
must   be   noted,   and   especially   that   of   the  offending 
foot  or   limit,   as   regards   its   relations   to   the    rest 
the  animal   economy.

Never  examine  a  harness  horse  to  halter,  or  one

Don't  fail  in  size  up  i he  owner  or  driver  and  draw 
your  own  deduction  from  their  statements    3ubs 
ated  by  your  own  observations  of  the  horse,

LOS   ANGELES    DRIVING   CLUB. 

extra,   heats    to   decide    three   of   the 

-    .-£  the  day  and  a  good  Christmas  crowd  were 
the  features  of  the  matinee  of  the  Los  Angeles  Driv- 
i    Agricultural    Park   Christmas   day.     The 
ras  free.    From  the  point  of  view 
-    man  the  2:15  pace,  in  which  H.  N.  Hen- 
derson's Henry  X.  won  from  Dr.  Dodge's  Lohengrin, 
was  the  feature  of  the  day. 
In   the   2:2n   pace   the   finishes   were   fought   to   the 
■ide.      The    first    heat-  went   to    B.    H.    Smith's 
H.     Pounder  took  Connors  out  in  the  lead  in 
the   first   half,  and  was   due  to  win-  in  a  good  finish 
•Ahen  the  animal  broke  and  before  he  could  be  landed 
on    four    feet    Smith    went    to    the    front    and    stayed 
there. 

In  the  second  heat  Connors.   Gladys  M.  and  Harry 

H.    fought   all    the   way   to   the   flag.     There   Connors 

to    the    fronit      under     the    whip    and    finished 

handily. 

The  third  heat  was  a  repetition  of  the  second,  ex- 
cept that  the  whip  was  omitted.  Connors  went  with 
the  bunch  to  the  flag  and  romped  in. 

Secretary  Brunei-  gave  up  his  megaphone  and  bell 
in  order  to  drive  Electric  Maiden  in  the  fourth  event. 
He  made  good  in  sensational  style.  The  first  time 
out  the  animal  broke  at  the  gate,  and  after  falling 
back  ten  lengths  was  lifted  to  the  front  in  a  bit  of 
the  best  driving  shown  on  the  track  this  year. 

General  Boodle,  driven  by  Godfrey  Fritz,  came  in 
winner  in  the  last  two  heats  in  the  2:40  trot.  W.  M. 
Raynard  won  the  first  heat. 

Ida  Miillerton  won  the  2:25  trot  after  being  hard 
pressed  in  both  heats  by  Zorhbretta,  In  the  second 
heat  good  driving  and  a  burst  of  speeed  turned  the 
trick. 

Dickey  Doyle  won  the  first  heat  of  the  2.30  pace, 
but  was  unable  to  repeat  the  performance,  and  Seig- 
frid  took  the  money.     The  summary:

THE    INFLUENCE   OF   AGE. 


INTERCITY  MATINEE. 


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

It  is  very  likely  that  but  one  regular  inter-city 
meeting  will  be  held  next  season,  and  that  will  be  at 
Pittsburg.  Doctor  Strong  having  won  the  Cleveland 
Gold  Challenge  t'up  at  the  Chicago  matinee  for  the 
Pittsburg  Club,  the  latter  organization  will  give  a 
two-day  Inter-city  amateur  meeting  in  1906  to  decide 
the  next  winner  of  the  handscme  trophy,  which  rep- 
ihe  amateur  trotting  championship  of  the 
world.

At  what  age  will  a  sire  or  dam  produce  their  best 
progeny? 

In  this  form  the  ciuestion  has  been  discussed  by 
many  of  the  ablest  biologists  of  America  and  Europe. 
Some  contend  that  the  best  results  are  '  had  from 
young  sires  and  dams.  They  can  give  a  plausible 
theory  why  this  should  be  so  and  back  it  up  with 
statistics.  Those  who  believe  in  the  virtues  of  the 
middle  aged  sires  and  dams  make  out  an  equally  good 
case,  while  those  who  hold  that  the  best  progeny  may 
be  expected  from  aged  sires  and  dams  can  prove 
their  case  by  the  records.  Indeed  if  a  man  w-ill  search 
the  records  for  a  theory  he  can  find  a  new  one  as 
often  as  he  likes. 

The  question  in  its  popular  form  is  not  w*hat  it  ap- 
pears to  be  and  if  it  be  studied  in  that  shape  a  satis- 
factory conclusion  it  not  likely  to  be  reached. 

What  the  breeder  really  wishes  to  know  first  is 
this.  What  the  influences  of  young  sires  and  dams? 
Wherein  do  they  differ  from  the  influences  of  middle 
aged  or  aged  sires  and  dams? 

When  he  solves  that  problem  satisfactory  he  will 
have  something  of  value  on  which  to  base  an 
opinion. 

He  will  then  find  that  the  term  "best"  is  compara- 
tive That  what  is  "best"  in  one  instance  is  not 
"best"  in  another.  Or  in  other  words,  he  will  find 
that  "best"  results  may  be  expected  by  breeding  cer- 
tain young  animals  together.  In  other  cases  "best" 
results  will  be  reached  by  crossing  certain  young  and 
old  animals,  or  by  breeding  mature  or  aged  animals 
together. 

If  there  is  any  difference,  that  is  any  general  dif- 
ference in  the  progeny  of  young  or  aged  animals,  we 
must  find  out  what  that  difference  is  before  we  can 
decide  which  is  "best"  and  which  is  not  "best,"  and 
as  indicated  already  we  will  find  that  the  influences 
of  parental  age  on  the  progeny  are  desirable  or  unde- 
sirable   according   to   other   conditions. 

If  there  is  anything  at  all  in  the  doctrine  of  heredity 
it  is  certain  that  a  young  animal  will  be  more  pre- 
potent in  the  peculiar  qualities  of  youth,  such  as  en- 
thusiasm, energy,  dash,  brilliancy  and  all  their  rela- 
tive qualities.  The  young,  highly  bred  animal  is  full 
of  fire  and  vim  and  the  natural  energies  of  youth. 
They  may  not  be  thoroughly  developed  but  they  are 
there.  The  young  animal  has  a  developing  nature,  a 
tendency  to  investigate,  and  a  physical  and  psychical 
quickness  that  is  wanting  in  mature  or  aged  animals. 
All  these  he  will  transmit.  Of  course  they  will  not  be 
lacking  entirely  in  the  progeny  of  mature  or  aged  ani- 
mals. But  they  are  more  likely  to  be  transmitted  in 
their  most  intense  form  by  the  young 

There  are  also  "follies  of  youth"  that  are  more 
likely  to  show  themselves  in  the  progeny  of  the  young. 
The  young  animal  has  faulty  habits  that  are  cured 
or  wear  away  before  he  becomes  aged.  His  progeny 
will  have  a  tendency  toward  the  same  faults,  and  no 
matter  how  slight  that  tendency  may  be,  it  is  present 
nevertheless  and  continued  breeding  in  that  line  would 
seem  to  fix  those  instinctive  habits. 

On  the  other  hand  wisdom  comes  with  age.  Animals 
learn  by  experience.  They  develop  under  culture,  and 
the  old  dog  or  old  horse  knows  the  work  for  which 
he  is  bred  better  than  the  young  one.  His  instincts 
have  been  developed,  and  he  does  easily  the  things 
that  the  young  animal  wastes  a  lot  of  energy  over. 
This  developed  quality  that  comes  only  from  long  ex- 
perience and  culture  is  transmissible  by  heredity.  But 
these  are  the  infirmities  of  age.  And  these,  or  a  ten- 
dency in  their  direction  is  also  transmissible  by 
heredity. 

It  will  readily  be  seen  that  there  are  desirable  and 
undesirable  characteristics  to  be  expected  as  a  result 
of  continuous  breeding  from  young  animals,  just  as 
there  are  desirable  and  undesirable  characteristics  to 
be  expected  as  a  result  of  persistent  breeding  from 
aged  animals  There  is  no  truly  responsive  answer, 
therefore,  to  the  question  as  to  which  of  the  two, 
young  or  old  is  the  best  to  breed  from. 

The  practical  application  of  the  laws  of  heredity  as 
regards  young  and  old  animals  is  a  test  of  the  breed- 
ers skill.  Certain  strains  of  good  blood  that  show 
sluggishness  would  be  helped  by  breeding  to  young, 
well  developed  animals.  While  other  strains  that  were 
disposed  to  an  undesirable  degree  of  nervousness 
would  be  helped  by  breeding  to  aged  animals  which 
are  still  vigorous.  There  are  strains  of  horses  and 
dogs  which  are  slow  to  develop.  They  have  all  of  the 
instincts  of  their  breed,  but  they  do  not  operate 
easily  or  with  sufficient  precision.  A  dash  of  aged 
blood  would  seem  to  correct  this.  So  too  aged  blood 
would  benefit  a  strain  that  was  not  quite  level  headed. 
It  is  all  a  matter  of  judgment  with  the  breeder.  The 
man  who  is  skilful  will  know  the  strong  and  weak 
points  of  his  own  strain  and  the  strains  he  wishes  to 
use  for  crosses.  The  question  of  suitable  age  is  only 
one  of  the  many  questions  to  be  considered  in  making 
crosses,  and  like  all  other  breeding  problems  it  must 
be  understood  before  it  can  be  turned  to  practical 
account 

Perhaps  the  most  plausible  arguments  offered  on 
the  age  problem  are  those  put  forth  in  behalf  of  aged 
sires.  The  records  will  show  that  the  famous  trotting 
and  race  horse  sires  have  more  speed  to  their  credit 
through  the  progeny  of  their  days  past  maturity  than 
before.  Noted  setter  and  pointer  sires  have  got  more 
good  progeny  late  in  life  than  in  their  younger  days. 
Rut  there  is  good  reason  for  that,  apart  from  any 
special  merits  in  the  produce  of  old  age.  A  trotting 
Stallion,  for  example,  is  not.likely  to  be  well  developed 
before  maturity.  Then  if  he  shows  individual  excel- 
lence besides  having  a  good  pedigree  he  is  bred  too. 
In  his  younger  days  he  is  simply  a  well-bred  horse 
and  is  used  but  little  on  good  mares.   When  he  shows 


his  own  worth  by  performance  he  gets  but  moderate 
patronage,  for  breeders  are  chary  about  using  a  sire 
until  he  has  proven  himself  a  producer  of  quality.  By 
the  time  he  has  been  developed  and  used  enough  to 
have  developed  progeny  of  merit,  he  is  past  middle 
age.  That  is  the  period  at  w7hich  he  becomes  known 
as  a  well-bred  animal  of  individual  excellence  which 
he  transmits.  As  he  grows  older  he  has  a  larger 
number  of  get  and  becomes  more  and  more  popular 
So  that  it  is  the  rule  that  sires  have  their  greatest 
opportunities  after  they  have  passed  the  meridian  of 
life,  and  naturally  they  have  a  larger  number  of  bet- 
ter progeny  at  that  period  than  they  have  earlier  in 
life.  The  well  bred  setter  or  pointer  is  not  likely  to 
get  into  the  championship  field  trial  class  until  he  is 
four  years  old,  and  at  that  time  he  may  expect  to  be 
used  on  well-bred  stock,  likely  to  produce  winners. 
But  before  this  progeny  can  make  much  of  a  record 
to  his  credit  he  will  be  six  or  seven  years  old.  Ho  | 
would  be  popular  then  with  breeders  and  would  have 
his  best  opportunity  after  that  period  of  life.  But 
when  he  shows  his  best  form  as  a  sire  thus  late  in 
life  it  will  not  do  to  say  that  the  progeny  owed  any 
of  its  merits  because  of  an  aged  sire. 

Of  course  the  practice  of  breeding  to  immature  ani- 
mals, or  animals  that  are  tottering  on  the  brink  of 
the  grave,  are  not  to  be  considered  seriously  by  any 
breeder  at  all  familiar  with  the  principles  of  breeding. 
What  is  here  meant  by  young  animals  are  those  which 
are  mature  but  still  on  the  young  side  of  middle  life. 
The  aged  animals  under  consideration  are  those 
which  have  passed  middle  life  but  are  yet  sound. 
There  is  a  difference  between  these  two,  both  physical 
and  psychical,  and  there  is  a  difference  in  their  powers 
of  transmission.  In  general  terms  it  may  be  said  that 
each  will  be  likely  to  reproduce  itself  if  the  breeder 
will  persist  in  following  one  or  the  other  line  of 
breeding.  The  peculiarities  of  age  as  distinguished 
from  youth  will  assert  themselves  if  a  continuous  line 
of  that  kind  of  breeding  is  followed.  The  enthusiasm 
of  youth  and  all  its  correlated  characteristics  will 
surely  tend  to  assert  themselves  in  a  long  line  of 
breeding  from  young  animals.  Both  the  qualities  of 
age  and  the  qualities  of  youth  can  be  impressed  on 
the  progeny  by  the  skilful  breeder.  To  cross  these 
qualities  is  only  another  method  of  improving  a 
breed.— C.  B-  Whitford  in  Chicago  Horseman.

THOROUGHBRED  DEPARTMENT. 


By  RALPH  H.  FOZER. 


Lubin,  from  the  W-  W.  Elliott  stable,  won  the 
Christmas  Handicap  with  107  pounds  up  by  five 
lengths  from  Proper  in  the  fast  time  of  2:06,  and  with 
a  lot  up  the  proverbial  sleeve.  This  is  his  first  victory 
since  the  Thanksgiving  Handicap,  which  was  worth 
?2,270,  and  in  which  he  downed  Proper  and  Beai  - 
catcher.  As  the  Christmas  Handicap  was  of  a  value 
of  $3,195  to  the  owner  of  the  winner,  Lubin  is  the 
heaviest-winning  horse  at  the  meeting  thus  far.  Con- 
sidering that  he  was  beaten  by  ov«r  six  lengths  by 
Nera  Lee  at  a  mile  on  December  20th,  both  carrying 
105  pounds,  and  by  over  five  lengths  by  Callaghan 
December  13th  at  one  and  a  sixteenth  miles,  Cal- 
laghan carrying  114  pounds  to  the  Elliott  horse's  106, 
there  is  little  wonder  over  the  bookmakers  laying 
10  to  1  last  Monday,  and  the  improvement  was  so 
sudden  and  startling  that  it  looks  like  a  mystery  for 
the  stewards  to  solve.  Certainly  the  performance  be- 
tween the  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas  Handicaps 
gave  little  indication  that  Lubin  was  a  pound  better 
than  Proper,  which  he  proved  yesterday,  counting 
three  pounds  to  a  length  and  three  pounds  in  addition 
for  the  easy  style  in  which  the  Lazzarone  gelding 
won.  In  other  words,  he  gave  Proper  an  eighteen 
pound  beating,  at  the  least,  and  add  eighteen  to  107, 
and  he  should  at  the  next  essay  be  asked  to  carry 
125  pounds  to  Proper's  124.  Dr.  Leggo  ran  an  im- 
pressive race  in  the  Christmas  Handicap,  considering 
it  was  his  first  start  in  several  months.  Carrying  IIS 
pounds,  Proper  beat  him  a  neck  lor  the  place,  in  a 
hard  drive,  with  the  Doctor  gaining  on  Jennings' 
horse.  Callaghan  showed  that  he  is  just  a  fast  miler, 
for  the  way  in  which  he  "backed  up"  after  going  the 
eight  furlongs  was  "bad  medicine"  for  the  many 
friends  of  Mr.  Xealon  and  his  flyer. 

Christine  A.  made  Hugh  McGowan  look  very  com- 
mon in  the  fifth  race  Christmas,  and  is  a  vastly  im- 
proved mare.  The  play  on  McGowan  was  very  strong, 
and  his  race  was  in  keeping  with  the  play.  The  ques- 
tion naturally  arises  to  race-goers,  why  this  great 
improvement  in  the  horse  in  forty-eight  hours'  time, 
even  if  Sandy  did  ride  him  Saturday  and  Knapp  on 
Monday?  On  Saturday  the  gelding  carried  93  pounds 
and  ran  his  mile  in  about  1:43%,  on  Monday  with 
twelve  pounds  more  up,  in  about  1:42  9-10.  This 
sort  of  running  does  more  to  injure  "the  game"  than 
any  other,  seeing  a  horse  go  back  in  the  betting  on  a 
Saturday  with  light  weight  up  and  on  a  Monday,  with 
much  more  weight  on,  hundreds  of  dollars  go  in  on 
its  chances  and  you  observe  him  run  at  least  a  fifteen 
pound  better  race  than  he  did  previously. 

Bearcatcher's  handy  length  win  at  Ascot  Park  last 
Saturday  in  the  $2,500  special  at  six  furlongs  adds 
another  leaf  to  the  heavy  crown  of  laurels  that  en- 
circled his  brown  neck.  Handzarra,  admittedly  inter- 
fered with  a  furlong  out  by  Cruzados,  was  second, 
with  Cruzados  at  her  saddle-skirts,  and  the  time  was 
1:13.  "The  Bear"  ran  the  last  quarter  in  0:22%,  a 
feat  he  is  capable  of  performing  any  time  he  is  fit 
and  well.  Garnett  Ferguson,  one  o  fthe  most  popular 
owners  in  California,  had  enough  confidence  in  his 
horse  to  wager  $5,000  on  him  at  4  to  5,  and  Bear- 
catcher  went  to  the  post  at  7  to  10,  Handzarra  at  2% 
to  1  and  Cruzados  4.  Bearcatcher  has  now  more  ex- 
tremely fast  performances  to  his  credit  from  half  a 
mile  to  a  mile  and  a  furlong  than  any  horse  living  or 
dead.  This  sounds  big,  but  the  records  will  bear  me 
out  in  the  assertion,  and  I  believe  that  Bearcatcher 
will  retire  to  the  stud  the  acknowledged  American 
champion  race  horse. 

LONDON,  December  21. — King  Edward  has  sold  for 
$150,000  his  triple  event  winner.  Diamond  Jubilee,  by 
St.  Simon,  out  of  Perdita  II,  to  the  Argentine  Republic 
breeder,  Senor  Ignatio  Correas.  Diamond  Jubilee  won 
the  2,000  guineas,  the  Derby,  the  Eclipse  stakes  and 
the  St  Leger  of  1900.  He  is  a  full  brother  of  Per- 
simmons, also  the  Derby  and  St.  Leger  winner  in 
1896.  He  is  also  a  full  brother  to  Florizel,  the  sire  of 
Vedas,  Volodyovski  and  Doricles,  which  between  them 
have  won  the  2,000  guineas,  the  Derby  and  St.  Legar. 
The  horse  is  to  fill  his  season  in  England  and  to  be 
delivered  to  his  new  owner  in  July. 

Only  Flying  Fox  ($187,500)  has  exceeded  the  price 
paid  for  Diamond  Jubilee,  and  it  ties  the  sum  given 
by  W.  O'B.  Macdonough  to  an  Argentine  breeder  for 
Ormonde.  Kendal,  sire  of  Galtee  More,  is  now  in  the 
Argentine  Republic,  and  his  stock  are  reported  as  the 
best  lookers  in  that  land.  Kendal  is  quite  a  travler 
himself,  being  once  if  memory  serves,  in  Italy,  taken 
back  to  England,  thence  to  Ireland,  and  now  to  the 
far-off  South  American  republic. 

At  the  Rancho  del  Paso  sale  at  Chase's  sale  yard 
on  the  evening  of  December  21st,  moderate  prices 
prevailed,  many  yearlings  selling  for  from  $100  to 
$250  The  top  price  of  the  sale  was  the  bay  colt  im- 
ported Goldfinch-Miss  Modred,  Waiter  Dean  securing 
him  for  $1,000.  A.  Joseph  paid  $475  for  a  chestnut 
filly  by  Maxio-Revulsia,  by  Fresno,  W.  Jennings  got 
the  Watercress- The  Dome  filly  for  $250.  W.  Dean 
secured  a  bay  colt  by  Maxio-Blithesome  for  $400.  J. 
B.  Leighton  purchased  several  yearlings,  presumably 
for  the  Sobra-Vista  stable. 

The  apprentice  allowance  is  just  now  under  discus- 
sion in  turf  circles  all  over  the  country.  Without 
this  allowance,  which  is  a  proper  encouragement  to 
boys  learning  to  be  jockeys,  we  would  probably  have 
seen  no  Hildebrand,  Knapp,  Radtke,  Miller,  McDaniel. 
Wiley  or  McBride,  famous  as  saddle  artists  at  this 
time,  and  there  are  many  other  good  though  not  cele- 
brated riders  out  this  way  that  would  not  have  been 
heard  from  had  the  apprentice  rule  not  been  in  vogue 
I  believe  the  business  of  becoming  a  jockey  should  be 
just    like   learning   any   trade.      It    takes    time,   and    I 


would  suggest  thai  a  boy  be  articled  for  three  years 
as  an  apprentice  and  be  entitled  to  the  following  al- 
lowances: The  first  year  of  his  apprenticeship,  six 
pounds:  second  year,  four  pounds;  third  year,  two 
pounds.  If  he  is  apt  and  learns  the  art  quickly,  so 
much  better  for  his  employers,  and  I  believe  there 
should  be  first,  second  and  third  calls  registered  on 
an  apprentice,  just  as  on  a  "journeyman"  jockey,  and 
that  these  employers  be  the  only  ones  entitled  to  the 
above  apprentice  allowance.  With  three  years'  ex- 
perience a  boy  should  make  a  thorough  race  rider, 
and  under  this  plan  the  full-Hedged  riders  would  not 
be  supplanted  by  the  apprentices  (many  of  whom 
have  not  been  riding  for  more  than  a  year).  Then 
if  the  Racing  Secretaries  should  get  together  and 
agree  to  make  the  "below-the-scale"  races  fewer  and 
further  between  in  their  programs,  and  we  would  see 
the  heavier  riders  having  a  chance  to  remain  in  the 
business  much  longer  and  become  more  proficient 
than  they  are  at  the  present,  for  Secretaries  un- 
doubtedly cater  too  much  to  the  owners  of  horses 
that  do  not  like  weight. 

At  last  the  famous  Morris  Park  race  track  prop- 
erty at  Westchester,  X.  T.,  has  been  sold  to  a  syndi- 
cate of  real  estate  men  and  will  be  cut  up  into  build- 
ing lots.  The  rumor  that  the  track  was  to  be  sold  for 
residential  purposes  has  been  going  the  rounds  of 
the  metropolitan  iturfd'C-m  for  many  years,  but  the 
Westchester  Racing  Association  had  a  hard  and  fast 
lease  and  it  was  not  until  the  completion  of  the  Bel- 
mont course  on  Long  Island  that  racing  was  finally 
abandoned  at  Morris  Park.  Four  years  of  the  lease 
are  yet  to  run  and  it  is  understood  that  the  purchas- 
ing syndicate  has  made  arrangements  to  take  it  the 
hands  of  the  association.  The  property  is  in  the 
Bronx,  adjoins  Van  Xess  Park,  comprises  300  acres 
and  belonged  ilo  the  Morris  family.  The  price  is  said 
to  have  been  around  two  and  one-half  million  dollars. 


NEWS    FROM    THE    NORTH. 


ABOUT    HANDICAPPING. 


(Christmas    Rural    Spirit.) 

T.  L.  Davidson,  Jr  ,  who  bought  a    hall    inti  resl    in 
Hal  D.  from  Homer  Davenport,  has  arranged  to  keep 

him  in  the  stud  at  Salem,  Oregon,  next  year. 


The    prospects    for    a    successful    i  s      son    on 

the  Xorth  Pacific  Circuit  next  year  looks  very  natter- 
ing. Salem  will  lead  out  with  the  richest  program 
ever  offered  on  the  circuit  which  will  draw  horses 
from  all  sections.  Let  other  associations  follow  up 
with  liberal  purses  and  guarantee  two  harness  events 
each  day  and  sucess  is  assured. 


Among  the  winter's  curiosities  of  turf  literature  is 
this  from  a  writer  for  the  Xew  York  Telegraph: 

It  is  gratifying  to  notice  that  the  question  of 
handicap  racing  on  trotting  tracks  is  receiving  more 
serious  attention.  In  the  past  all  suggestions  to  this 
effect  have  been  only  ridiculed,  but  so  many  improve- 
ments have  been  introduced  on  the  harness  turf  late- 
ly, and  they  have  been  so  readily  accepted  by  horse- 
men and  track  managers1,  that  the  advocates  of  the 
handicapping  system  have  taken  renewed  courage. 

Another  reason  why  the  matter  is  being  agitated 
now  is  because  it  has  been  tried  over  the  trotting 
tracks  of  Europe  with  satisfactory  results,  and  is1  now 
in  general  vogue. 

Many  experienced  trotting  horse  men  believe  that 
through  this  system  alone  long  scoring,  perhaps  the 
greatest  drawback  of  harness  racinig,  could  be  done 
away  with.  Trotting  horses  could  be  handicapped  in 
distance  according  to  their  records  just  as  readily  as 
runners  are  in  weight,  and  by  a  standing  start  scoring 
can  be  entirely  avoided. 

How  much  ground  a  horse  covers  at  certain  gait 
has  already  been  calculated  by  mathematical  pre- 
cision, and  it  will  be  a  very  easy  matter  to  handi- 
cap horses  with  a  record  difference  of  three  seconds, 
and  more  or  less,  placing  them  at  different  dis- 
tances according  to>  their  records,  the  slowest  under 
the  wire  and  the  fastest  ones  as  far  back  as  their  pre- 
vious marks  will  handicap  them. 

The  system  should  first  of  all  appeal  to  track 
managers,  for  more  than  one  reason.  By  allowing 
horses  of  different  records  to  compete  in  the  same 
class  there  will  be  no  lack  of  entries;  in  fact,  they  will 
perhaps  be  larger  than  can  be  taken  care  of  when  the 
start  is  made.  In  the  second  place  the  system  will 
surely  prove  acceptable  to  the  race-going  public  and 
increase  the  gate  receipts'  to-  a  noticeable  degree. 

The  advantages  of  the  system  are  undoubtedly 
more  in<  favor  of  owners  and  drivers  than  track  man- 
agers. The  horse  with  a  record  of,  say  2:23%,  will  be 
given  an  opportunity  to  start  in  a  field  which  includes 
horses  with  records  of  2:20  and  often  faster  on  equal 
terms.  There  will  be  no  danger  of  outclassing  horses 
as  fast  as  they  are  liable  under  the  present  method. 
Besides  there  will  be  no  reason  why  every  horse 
should  not  be  driven  to  its  limit  in  every  heat  of  the 
race. 

The  only  difficulty  for  the  trainei-s.  if  it  be  at  all 
a  hardship,  is  that  horses  should  be  trained  and  edu- 
cated for  a  standing  start,  that  is  to  get  away  quickly. 
Any  horse  could  be  trained  to  it  just  as  easily  as 
they  are  on  the  continent,  and  surely  much  better. 

Educated  to  a  standing  start,  horses  will  not  waste 
their  strength  and  energy  in  scoring,  and  can  be  raced 
more  heats  and  entered  in  more  races.  They  will 
last  longer. 

The  main  objection  to  the  system  is  the  fact  that 
tthe  field  of  starters  will  be  strung  along  part  of  the 
distance,  but  then,  what  a  difference  between  the 
stringing  up  scon  after  the  start,  as  most  of  the  heats 
are  now,  and  being  so  at  the  start?  There  is  no  rea- 
son to  believe  that  the  finishes  will  not  be  just  as 
close  and  exciting  as  they  are  now.  And  the  mosl 
interesting  part  of  a  harness  race  is  the  finish. 

Manv  conltend  that  by  the  handicap  system  may 
not  have  as  many  fast  performer.-  at  the  end  of  each 
season  as  we  do  now.  Whether  there  is  any  truth 
in  'this  remains  to  be  found  after  the  system  has 
heen  tried.  Even  granting  that  such  will  prove  to  be. 
vet  the  question  is  what  is  the  advantage  of  having 
105  2:10  trotters  and  pacers  at  the  dose  of  every  rat- 
ing season'.'  What  is  the  advantage  to  the  harness 
turf  because  some  of  the  best  performers  are  out- 
classed every  year,  and  practically  lost  to  the  horse- 
loving  public?  Some  enterprising  track  manager 
should  give  the  system  a  proper  trial.  Which  may 
pro   ■    a  blessing  to  harness  racing. 


John  Lance  writes  from  Walla  Walla  that  he  had 
to  put  to  death  his  old  favorite  Sam  Bowers,  mi,  .,, 
count  of  a  broken  leg  caused  by  a  kick  from  another 
horse.  Sam  Bowers  was  one  of  the  best  known  horses 
on  the  Northern  Circuit.  He  had  a  pacing  record  of 
2:11,  and  a  trotting  record  of  2:19%,  which  he  made 
this  year.  He  has  started  48  times,  won  21  races  and 
only  outside  of  the  money  eight  times  The  loss  will 
be  heavy  on  Mr.  Lance,  as  he  was  considered  a  money 
winner  in  his  class.

Frank  Trott  writes  from  Boston  as  follows:  "The 
late  sale  in  New  York  was  in  many  respects  the  most 
remarkable  ever  held.  It  was  a  record-breaker  as 
regards  the  number  of  horses  sold,  some  1014  chang- 
ing owners.  The  average  price,  $4 IS.  was  not  as 
high  as  a  year  ago.  but  the  (Offerings  were  not  nearly 
the  equal  of  those  disposed  of  in  1904.  The  sale  right 
through  contained  very  few  animals  of  demonstrated 
high  class.  Before  the  sale  it  was  believed  that  there 
was  only  an  ordinary  demand  for  anything  not  strict- 
ly high  grade,  but  as  the  bidding  was  lively  for  all 
kinds,  it  demonstrated  that  there  is  a  desire  for  com- 
monplace stock  if  nothing  better  is  offered.  The 
horses  sent  from  New  England  scld  almost  without 
exception  for  much  more  than  the  consignors  had  set 
them  at.  Not  as  many  horses  were  bought  by  Xew 
Englanders  as  usual,  but  the  quality  was  away  ahead 
of  anything  in  the  past,  a  most  healthy  sign.  There 
never  has  been  a  time  when  horsemen  hereabouts 
have  been  so  keen  after  racing  material  as -this  fall. 
and  from  present  indications  more  Xew  England 
horses  will  be  campaigned  in  1906  than  ever  before. 
Every  trainer  one  meets  has  a  commission  to  buy  a 
good  hcrse.  Some  are  limited  in  price,  but  the  ma- 
jority of  them  appear  to  have  an  unlimited  order." 


A  corporation  representing  the  best  business  men 
of  Washington  C.  H.,  Ohio,  are  building  an  enormous 
combination  horse  sale  pavilion  in  that  city.  It  is 
to  be  600  feet  long  and  100  feet  wide,  with  a  speed- 
way thirty  feet  wide  through  the  center  of  the  entire 
building,  to  be  equipped  with  all  m  dern  conven- 
iences, and  will  accommodate  500  head  of  horses  in 
large,  well  ventilated  stalls.  Encircling  the  sale  ring 
is  an  amphitheater  seating  1000  people.  From  the 
present  outlook  the  management  expects  to  have 
many  high  class  horses  in  their  inaugural  sale. 
Washington  is  located  in  the  center  of  a  good  breed- 
ing country.  Charles  Willarcl,  who  has  had  several 
years'  experience  in  the  combination  sale  business, 
will  be  general  manager.

Pittsburg.  Pa.,  Dec.  4,  1905. 
To  the  President,  Officers  and  Members  of  the  Inter- 
state Association. 

There    is    a    strong    temptation    while 

writing    Ch  ual   reports  to  begin  with  the  salu- 

•  i    H       old-time  clown    in   a   circus — "Here   we 

_  iln,   master" — and  let  it  go  at  that,     The  task 

is  very  monotonous.     An  unbroken  record  of  success, 

cumulative,    while   eminently   gratifying  to   the   writer. 

is    no1    stimulative   to   the    imagination 

Another  unfading  season  of  success  suggests  again 

flection    that    trap    shooting   is   one   of   the   few 

eminently    clean    sports    left    to    the    true    sportsman. 

racy   caused  by   gambling  never   dis- 

■  moralizes   the  real   sportsman.     Pride   in 

skill    and    the    ambition    of    fresh    blood    deprive    the 

of  a  ch  it'  e  for  manipulation,  and  the  history 

of  the   [nterstati    Association  is  a  guarantee  of  a  fair 

field  an  ;   no  favors.

local  but  also  a  national  interest  by  the  large  num- 
ber of  averages  exceeding  the  90  per  cent  mark,  the 
large  and  fashionable  attendance  of  spectators,  the 
unprecedented  number  of  targets  thrown  and  the 
smoothness  that  characterized  the  work  from  begin- 
ning to  end.  as  well  as  the  good  humor  which  pre- 
vailed. All  in  all.  it  was  a  record-breaking  event. 
and  the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  Indianapolis  Gun 
Club  was  not  the  least  meritorious  adjunct. 

Strenuous  work  was,  of  course,  necessary  to  get 
the  thing  through  successfully,  but  all  arrangements 
dovetailed  so  perfectly  that  there  was  no  perceptible 
jar  in  the  machinery.  The  work  of  the  Interstate 
Association  in  stimulating  and  training  shooters  was 
exemplified  by  the  fact  that  the  scores  made  make 
the  winning  scores  of  previous  years  look  rather 
small.  The  total  number  of  largest  trapped  in  four 
and  one-half  days  was  1S4.500.  This  would  have  been 
impossible  had  not  the  system  of  squading  and  man- 
ner of  handling  the  contestants  devised  in  1904  been 
enforced.  On  the  first  day  2S4  contestants  faced  the 
traps  and  high  averages  were  made.  On  the  second 
day  the  state  team  event  varied  proceedings.  This 
contest  was  keenly  interesting  and  will  doubtless 
evoke  a  large  entry  next  year.  The  principal  event 
of  the  tournament  was,  of  course,  the  Grand  Ameri- 
can Handicap,  and  it  was  also  the  great  event  of 
the  western  continent  as  to  trap  shooting.  The  win- 
ner scored  99  out  cf  100,  being  but  one  ahead  of  four 
contestants,  who  tied  on  9S  The  result  has  prompted 
a  number  of  suggestions  which  the  association  can 
digest  at  leisure.  The  1905  Grand  American  Handicap 
tournament  may  in  future  be  equaled,  but  strenuous 
work  will  be  required  to  eclipse  it.  There  is  no  lack 
of  inducements  held  out  by  various  cities  as  places 
fcr  holding  the  next  Grand  American  Handicap,  so 
we  have  a  large  margin  for  choice. 

The  Menominee  (Mich.)  meet,  on  July  12  and  13, 
was  a  success  from  every  point  of  view,  though  a 
heavy  shower  of  rain  somewhat  delayed  the  wind-up. 
The  contestants  numbered  sixty-five  the  first  day  and 
sixty-one  the  second,  fifty-four  of  whom  shot  in  all 
events.  Two  sets  of  traps  were  used  and  23,050  tar- 
gets were  trapped  during  the  two  days.  The  local 
club  handled  the  visitors  in  a  manner  which  left  noth- 
ing to  be  desired.  The  attendance  of  spectators  was 
encouraging.  The  Menominee  Gun  Club's  shooting- 
grounds  on  Green  Bay  are  unsurpassable  as  to  scen- 
ery and  convenience  of  location. 

The  sixth  tournament  of  the  season  was  held  at 
Albert  Lea,  Minn.,  August  2,  3  and  4.  With  the 
exception  of  the  second  day,  which  was  too  damp  for 
comfort,  the  most  pessimistic  had  no  complaint  com- 
ing. The  shoot  was  under  the  fostering  care  of  the 
Albert  Lea  Gun  Club.  The  affair  ran  like  clock- 
work and  general  satisfaction  was  expressed.  A  fea- 
ture of  each  day  was  Event  No.  7.  which  called  for 
10  pairs  of  targets,  something  unusual  of  late.  Hon. 
Henry  A.  Morgan,  president  of  the  local  club,  and 
Secretary  N  E.  Petersen  and  other  officers  exerted 
themselves  to  make  visitors  and  contestants  com- 
fortable. 

Though  sizzling  heat,  rain  and  high  winds  helu 
sway,  the  tournament  August  16.  IT  and  is  at  Kansas 
City,  Mo.,  was  pulled  off  quite  satisfactory.  It  was 
under  the  auspices  of  the  O  K  Gun  Club,  and  a 
crowd  was  drawn  to  the  Schmelzer  Shooting  Park. 
Many  names  of  contestants  present  are  familiar  to 
the  trap  shooting  fraternity.  Considerable  Mark 
Tapleyism  was  necessary  to  assure  comfort  on  the 
third  day,  but  despite  rain,  high  wind  and  clouds, 
the  shooting  was,  on  the  whole,  good.  The  club 
management  was  commendable  from  a  to  Izzard. 

The  eighth  meet,  at  Colorado  Springs,  Colo.,  amid 
the  wonders  of  the  Celestial  Architect,  was  especially 
notable  for  the  work  of  the  Colorado  Springs  Gun 
Club,  which,  not  satisfied  with  the  adage.  'Enough 
is  as  good  as  a  feast."  left  no  stone  unturned  which 
might  possibly  afford  visitors  pleasure.  The  most 
exacting  could  find  no  fault  with  the  appointments 
The  local  tournament  committee,  Messrs.  John  W. 
Garrett,  A  J.  Lawton  and  D.  C.  Sanderson,  mutually 
surpassed  each  other  in  their  efforts  to  have  every- 
thing in  apple-pie  order.  This  tournament  was  held 
on  August  29,  30  and  31,  and  one  huncred  and  nine- 
teen contestants  were  in  evidence.  The  contest  was 
close  and  exciting,  and  the  third  day  closed  with 
every  event  on  the  program  rounded  out.  There  was 
never  before  such  a  notable  gathering  of  trap  shoot- 
ers in  Colorado.  The  appointments  generally  were 
such  as  to  suggest  that  no  better  place  could  be 
found  for  holding  of  the  Grand  American  Handicap, 
putting  all  competing  cities  on  their  mettle 

The  initial  Pacific  Coast  Handicap  was  held  in  San 
Francisco  September  15,  16  and  17.  and  the  enthusi- 
astic Slc.pi  is  confidently  believe  that  it,  with  all  its 
splendor,    will    prove    but    an    infant    compared    with 

future  similar  events,  and  pray  fc:  m. my  happy 
returns.  The  San  Francisco  Trap  Shooting  Associa- 
tion, our  members  and  a  large  section  of  the  popul  li  e

ci.uise  ihe  event  was  educating  in  the  highesl  degree,

verdict,    with    loud    response    from    the    amen    corner. 


The  Interstate  Associal  'mi's  system  evoked  un- 
stinted praise  and  was  pronounced  the  model  for  the 
future.  "Praise  from  Sir  Hubert  is  praise  indeed," 
for  the  Slopers  themselves  are  not  beginners  The 
purses  were  unanimously  pronounced  the  most  liberal 
ever  tendered  Pacific  Coast  shooters,  (in  the  closing 
day  the  attendance  o.  specators  was  more  than  1,500. 
That  seed  was  sown  in  good  ground  was  apparent  to 
pessimists,   if  any   were   present. 

During  the  past  thirteen  years  we  have  confined 
our  work  almost  entirely  to  territory  east  of  the 
Mississippi  River,  and  now  it  would  seem  to  be  wise 
to  work  the  field  west  of  that  river,  Our  experience 
this  season  in  Colorado  Spings  and  San  Francisco 
indicates  that  the  territory  is  already  "white  unto 
the  harvest."  and  we  have  but  to  shake  the  plum 
tree  to  realize.  Our  initial  turnament  on  the  Pacific- 
Coast  accomplished  too  much  of  mutual  benefit  to  be 
allowed  to  lie  fallow  and  should  be  followed  by  one 
or  more  tournaments  there  next  year.  I  would 
strongly  advocate  the  -making  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Handicap  an  annual  affair,  and  I  nave  a  sanguine 
belief  that  the  time  will  not  be  lon3-  until  it  will  be 
only  second  to  our  other  great  event — the  Grand 
American  Handicap. 

I  again  tender  our  members  my  hearty  thanks  for 
their  untiagging  support,  and  though  virtue  may  be 
its  own  reward.  I  fervently  wish  them  something  more 
tangible.  In  this  I  include  the  sportsmen's  journals 
for  their  unremitting  courtesy  and  encouragement. 
Very  respectfully  submitted.

Applications  for  the  Grand  American  Handicap  of 
1906  were  read,  the  applicants  being  Denver,  India- 
napolis, Chicago  and  Columbus.  Each  application 
was  accompanied  by  recommendations  and  set  forth 
the  advantages  of  their  respective  claims.  By  invi- 
tation Messrs.  A.  E.  McKenzie  and  E.  H.  Tripp  ad- 
dressed' the  meeting  an  behalf  oi:  Denver  and  Indian- 
apolis respectively.  A  petition  with  over  five  hundred 
signers  was  presented  in  behalf  of  Chicago.  The 
matter  was  discussed  at  great  length,  but  no  action 
was  taken  at  this  time 

By  invitation  Mr.  J.  A.  Haskell  delivered  a  very 
interesting  address,  which  was  well  received  and  ap- 
proved. President  Bennett,  in  a  few  well-chosen 
words,  thanked  Mr.  Haskell  for  giving  the  association 
the   benefit   of   his   views. 

Letters  advocating  class  shooting  at  the  Grand 
American  Handicap  tournament  were  read,  as  were 
several  communications  touching  on  other  subjects, 
all   of  which  were  received  and  ordered  filed. 

By  resolution  it  was  decided  that  hereafter  the 
club  or  association  on  whose'  grounds  the  Grand 
American  Handicap  is  held  must  use  an  equal  number 
of  sets  of  traps  made  by  the  different  members  of  the 
Interstate  Association,  automatic  or  expert,  at  the 
maker's  option,  and  to  throw  the  targets  made  by 
said  members  in  their  respective  traps. 

The  next  business  taken  up  was  applications  for 
membership,  and  the  Austin  Cartridge  Company  of 
Cleveland.  0-,  was  duly  elected  a  member. 

A  recess  of  five  minutes  was  then  taken,  after  which 
the  meeting  was  again  called  to  order  by  President 
Bennett  to  consider  the  election  of  a  board  of  seven 
directors,  Messrs  Waters  and  Park  being  appointed 
tellers.  Messrs.  Haskell.  Barrell.  Keller,  Bennett- 
Durston,  Tatham  and  Parker  were  declared  elected. 

Upon  motion  the  meeting  adjourned  at  6  o'clock 
p.  m„  to  meet  at  10  a.  m.  the  following  day. 

The  adjourned  meeting  was  called  to  order  at  10:40 
a,  m.,  December  15,  with  President  Bennett  in  the 
chair. 

The  roll-call  showed  lhe  following  members  pres- 
ent: Union  Metallic  Cartridge  Company,  by  A.  C. 
Barrell;  Winchester  Repeating  Arms  Company,  by 
Irby  Bennett:  Parker  Bros.,  by  W.  F.  Parker:  E.  I. 
Du  Pont  Company,  by  J.  T.  Skelly;  Marlin  Fire  Arms 
Company,  by  J.  Howard  Marlin;  Peters  Cartridge 
Company,  by  T  H.  Keller;  Hoyt  Metal  Company,  >-»;■ 
W.  P.  Markle;  Chamberlin  Cartridge  and  Target  Com- 
pany, by  Paul  North,  and  the  Lefever  Arms  Company, 
by  A.  H.  Durston.  The  following  wtre  represented  by 
proxy:  Tatham  &  Bros.,  by  W.  P.  Markle;  Laflin  & 
Rand  Powder  Company,  by  J.  T.  Skelly:  Remington 
Aims  Company,  by  A  C.  Barrell.  and  the  Hunter 
Arms  Company,  by  T.  H.  Keller. 

New  business  was  at  once  taken  up  where  left  off. 
It  was  decided  to  change  the  policy  of  the  association 
and  to  hold  four  tournaments  on  lines  similar  to  the 
Grand  American  Handicap,  which  was  by  the  tourna- 
ment committee  decided  as  follows:  One  in  the  East, 
one  in  the  South,  one  in  the  West  between  the  Mis- 
sissippi River  and  Salt  Lake,  and  one  on  the  Pacific 
Coast.  These  sections  were  defined  by  geographical 
Imitations,  eastern  section  to  be  east  of  Buffalo  and 
Pittsburg:  southern  to  be  south  of  the  Ohio  River 
and  east  of  the'Mississippi  River;  western  to  be  west 
of  the  Mississippi  River  and  east  of  Salt  Lake  and 
Ogden;  Pacific  Coast  to  be  west  of  Salt  Lake  and 
Ogden. 

It  was  resolved  that  each  and  all  contestants  of 
future  Grand  American  Handicaps  who  have  not  shot 
in  that  event  prior  to  1906  shall  be  required  to  send 
in  with  their  respective  applications  a  specific  state- 
ment of  their  respective  averages  through  the  six 
months  prior  to  said  application.  In  case  said  con- 
testant is  a  club  member,  bis  statement  of  said  gen- 
eral  average  is  to  be  certified  as  correct  by  his  club 
i  cretary.  Any  other  contestant  shall  he  required  to 
divulge  his  general  average  as  above  set  forth,  if 
required  so  to  do  by  the  secretary-manager  of  the 
Interstate  Associal  ion; 

A  committee,  by  resolution,  was  appointed  to  in  - 
v.siigale  ihe  Situation  as  it  relates  to  rifle  and  rer 
volver  shooting,  and  reporl  to  ihe  Interstate  Associa- 
tion the  feasibility  of  adding  that  kind  of  competition 
to    Interstate  Association   interests.     The  members  of

i iiis    committee    are    as    follows:      Col.    J. 
Wilfrid  Hartley  and  W.  R.  Clark. 

Grand  American  Handicap  matters  were  then  taken 
up,  and  it  was  decided  by  the  stockholders'  meeting 
that  the  Grand  American  Handicap  of  1906  would  be 
held  in  Indianapolis. 

It  was  decided  to  hold  two  championship  events, 
one  for  amateurs,  the  other  for  professionals,  in  con- 
nection with  the  Grand  American  Handicap,  the  con- 
ditions in  a  general  way  to  be  as  follows:  One  hun- 
dred and  fifty  targets,  18  yards  rise,  use  of  one  barrel, 
entrance  $5,  and  open  to  the  world. 

Mr.  A.  W.  Higgins,  in  view  of  his  long  and  efficient 
connection  with  the  association,  was  unanimously 
elected  an  honorary  member. 

It  was  resolved  that  the  tournament  committee  be 
authorized  to  provide  for  state  association  tourna- 
ments— on  application — a  trophy  to  be  contested  for 
in  team  contests  of  four  men  to  the  team  and  four 
individual  trophies  for  the  members  of  the  winning 
team,  the  team  trophy  to  become  the  permanent  prop- 
erty of  the  club  and  the  individual  trophies  to  become 
the  permanent  property  of  the  individuals  winning 
same,  the  condition  of  giving  the  trophies  being  that 
each  member  of  the  Interstate  Association  be  given 
an  advertisement  in  the  program  of  the  tournament. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  to  the  sportsmen's 
journals  for  the  assistance  they  have  given  the  as- 
sociation in  keeping  its  work  prominently  before  the 
general  public. 

The  board  of  directors  elected  the  following  officers 
for  the  ensuing  year:  President.  J.  A.  Haskell: 
vise-president.  W.  F.  Parker:  treasurer,  A.  C.  Bar- 
ren:   secretary-manager,  Elmer  E.  Shaner. 

The   directors  appointed  the  following  committees: 

Tournament  Committee — Paul  North,  chairman: 
Irby  Bennett,  A.  C.  Barrell,  T  H.  Keller,  W.  P.  Markle. 
J.  T.   Skelly  and  A.   H.  Durston. 

Handicap  Committee — Elmer  E.  Shaner.  chairman; 
W.  K.  Park,  B.  Waters,  C.  M.  Powers  and  W.  D. 
Townsend.

nament respectively  in  May,  June.  July,  August  and 
September  and  to  add  moneys  to  the  programs  of  the 
different  handicaps  scheduled. 

The  meeting  adjourned  sine  die  at  5  o'clock  p.  m  , 
with  all  business  fully  covered. 


PACIFIC   COAST   ALL-AGE    ENTRIES. 


CANCELLATIONS    IN    THE    NOVICE    CLASS. 


It  appears  that  the  rule  concerning  the  Novice 
Class,  passed  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  American 
Kennel  Club,  is  not  understood  by  exhibitors,  or 
show  secretaries.  The  rule  was  thoroughly  discussed 
at  the  meeting  and  was  finally  passed  to  read  as  fol- 
lows: "The  Novice  Class  shall  be  for  American-bred 
dogs  only,  never  having  won  a  first  prize  at  any 
recognized  show,   wins  in  the  puppy  class  excepted." 

This  rule  has  been  published  several  times  in  the 
Gazette,  but  entries  are  still  made  in  Novice  Class 
of  dogs  without  pedigree  or  breeder.  Such  entries 
must  be  cancelled,  as  it  stands  to  reason  that  it  is 
'  impossible  to  identify  a  dog  as  American-bred  if  no 
particulars  are  given. 

The  rule  met  with  the  approbation  of  the  kennel 
press,  and  no  argument  has  yet  been  advanced  against 
it.  It  is  entirely  in  favor  of  the  smaller  exhibitors, 
and  protects  their  interests.  In  order  to  enforce  il, 
full  particulars  of  all  dogs  entered  in  the  Novice  Class 
must  be  given,  so  that  the  public,  as  well  as  inter- 
ested parties,  can  judge  of  their  American  breeding. 
Therefore  it  must  be  understood  that  any  dog  en- 
tered in  the  Novice  Class,  without  breeder  and  pedi- 
gree, is  ineligible  and  his  award,  if  any,  will  be  can- 
celled. 

The  following  circular  has  been  forwarded  to  all 
Show  Secretaries  on  the  Pacific  Coast  by  the  Pacific 
Advisory  Committee:  "The  Secretary  of  the  Ameri- 
can Kennel  Club  advises  that  he  will  cancel  all  wins 
in  the  Novice  Class,  unless  sufficient  particulars  are 
given  on  the  entry  blank  to  approximately  determine 
whether  the  dog  is  American-bred  To  accomplish 
this  as  far  as  practicable,  it  will  therefore  be  neces- 
sary that  the  entry  in  the  Novice  Class  contain  the 
same  details  as  an  entry  in  the  Puppy  Class.  I  would 
therefore  recommend  that  your  entry  blanks  and  pre- 
mium lists  contain,  in  bold  type,  the  following  clause: 

"The  Novice  Class  being  for  American-bred  dogs 
only,  the  entries  therein  should  show  the  date  of  birth, 
name  of  breeder  and  the  name  of  sire  and  dam." 

It  would  be  well  if  this  idea  were  acted  upon  by  all 
show-  secretaries. — American  Kennel  Gazette. 


Secretary  Albert  Betz  of  the  Pacific  Field  Trials 
Club  states  that  conditions  for  the  trials  at  Bakers- 
field,  commencing  on  January  S,  are  very  favorable. 
Birds  have  never  been  more  plentiful,  and  the  meet- 
ing will,  beyond  question,  be  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful held  by  the  club,  and  will,  with  the  probable 
exception  of  one  trial,  surpass  in  the  number  of  start- 
ers and  in  the  attendance,  which  promises  to  be  ex- 
ceedingly large,  any  trials  held  this  season  in  ths 
United  States  or  Canada  As  to  the  number  of  birds, 
we  believe  our  grounds  excel  any  in  the  country. 

The  stakes  to  be  run  in  the  order  named  are  as 
follows:  Members,  open  to  members'  dogs  that  have 
not  been  placed  in  any  trials  other  than  the  Members' 
Sll'ake  of  this  club,  anid  which  will  not  start  in  any 
open  stakes  of  the  pending  meeting;  Derby,  All-Age 
and  Champion  Stake.  Judge  Baughn,  of  Ridgeville, 
Ind.,  will  act  as  judge,  assisted  by  two  members  o; 
the  club  to  be  selected  the  evening  before  the  trials. 

The  entries  for  the  All-Age  Stake  closed  on  the 
15th  inst..  with  a  total  of  twenty-four  nominations

THE   CHIHUAHUA    DOG. 

Wo  have  noticed  at  many  of  our  bench  shows  entries 
of  this  breed,  with  now  and  then  a  very  good  speci- 
men shown.  In  this  city  there  is  quite  a  number  of 
these  dogs,  in  fact  they  are  by  no  means  a  rarity  in 
California.  The  following  account  given  during  an 
interview  with  Miss  Rosina  V.  Casselli  (who  has  a 
troup  of  performing  Chihuahua  dogs),  which  was  pub- 
lished in  Our  Dogs,  in  consequence,  will  be  of  corres- 
ponding interest  to  the  Coast  fancy: 

"To  begin  with,  I  may  mention  that  out  of  my 
troupe  of  twelve  dogs  eleven  are  genuine  Chihuahua 
(pronounced  Chi-wa-wa)  specimens.  The  smallest  of 
the  troupe,  i.  e.,  the  one  sitting  on  my  hand,  weighs 
about  a  pound,  and  the  largest  only  five  pounds.  The 
rest  from  two  and  one-half  to  four  pounds.  The  odd 
dog',  which  is  the  one  second  from  the  end,  and  just 
at  my  right  hand,  is  a  specimen  of  a  small  Brazillian 
breed  of  Spaniel.  The  typo  appears  somewhat  differ- 
ent to  any  of  the  other  breeds  of  Spaniels,  and  in  Rio 
de  Janeiro,  where  I  purchased  this  specimen,  the  type 
appears  to  be  quite  common,  but  whether  they  belong 
to  a  natural  South  American  breed,  or  are  a  cross- 
bred King  Charles  or  some  similar  breed,  I  am  not 
prepared  to  say,  as  any  amount  of  inquiry  failed  to 
shed   light   en   their  history. 

Regarding  the  Chihuahua  'logs.  I  am  in  a  position 
to  be  well  posted  '  'f  all  the  canine  breeds  there  is 
probably  none  so  little  known  or  understood  as  the 
little   Chihuahua   dogs  of  Mexico,   and   which   were  in 


their  natural  Male  a  distinctly  Mexican  race  .,1'  wild 
dogs,  very  shy,  and  for  their  size  very  savage 

"They  inhabit  only  a  limited  section  of  the  moun- 
tamous  state  of  Chihuahua,  from  which  the  dogs  de- 
rive their  name.  It  is  believed  that  these  wild  dogs 
are  now  ext.net.  although  they  are  reported  by  the 
nat.ves  to  have  been  seen  up  to  about  fifteen  years 
ago.  and  it  is  barely  possible  that  they  might  still  be 
lound  in  some  undisturbed  spot. 

"These  dogs  were  noted,  not  only  for  their  extreme 
smallness,  bull  for  other  pecularities  which  they  pos- 

_  "Their  legs  were  very  slender,  and  their  toenails 
very  long  and  strong,  and  very  serviceable  to  them 
in  making  their  homes,  as  they  lived  in  holes  in  the 
ground.  Apart  from  their  size,  their  most  striking 
feature  was  their  head,  which  was  very  round,  ana 
from  which  projected  a  very  short  and  pointed  nose 
and  large  standing  ears;  there  was  also  a  peculiar 
skull  formation,  found  only  in  this  race.  In  color 
they  varied  somewhat  in  shade;  it  was  through  a 
mixture  of  reddish  black  and  fawn,  in  which  both 
vary  considerably  in  different  specimens.  The  hair 
was  short,  fine  and  thick,  and  the  wild  dogs  even 
when  taken  young,  could  not  be  domesticated,  neither 
would  they  live  any  great  length  of  time  in  captivity 
"The  Indians,  however,  had  a  way  of  taking  these 
dogs  and  crossing  them  with  the  small  specimens  of 
the  domesticated  Indian  dog.  and  in  this  manner 
produced  a  domesticated  Chihuahua  dog.  which  was 
kept  replenished  from  the  wild  stock  as  much  as  pos- 
sible. Although  the  type  was  to  a  certain  extent 
modified  and  varied,  the  finer  specimens  retain  it-  in  a 
most  prominent  way.  Until  the  opening  up  of  the 
Mexican  Central  Railroad,  in  about  the  vear  1.SS7 
and  which  passes  through  the  section  in  which  the 
wild  dogs  were  most  plentiful,  there  were  plenty  of 
fine  specimens  to  be  had,  as  prior  to  this  time  this 
section  was  difficult  to  reach,  being  in  a  wild  country, 
hundreds  of  miles  from  so-called  civilization  The 
completion  of  the  road,  however,  brought  hoards  of 
tourists  and  others,  who  rapidly  thinned  out  the  dogs, 
and  scattered  them  in  all  directions,  with  the  final' 
result  that  today  it  is  a  piece  of  good  luck  to  secure 
a   really   fine   specimen. 

"Although  the  wild  stock  is  no  longer  available,  the 
type  is  so  fixed  that  very  fine  specimens  still  crop  up 
here  and  there,  but  there  is  no  certainty  when  or 
where  just  such  a  one  can  be  found,  as  the  natives, 
although  they  reaped  a  rich  harvest  for  a  time,  failed 
to  provide  for  the  future,  as  they,  with  their  experi- 
ence, might  have  done.  I  have  often  been  asked  why 
it  was  that  the  breed  has  not  been  taken  in  hand  by 
fancy  dog  breeders,  knowing  that  they  were  very 
salable  at  fancy  prices.  My  answer  to  this  is  that 
it  is  not  for  want  of  effort  or  interest,  but  failure  to 
get  genuine  specimens  the  real  cause. 

"There  are  many  difficulties  in  the  way.  In  the  first 
place,  they  are  extremely  difficult  to  breed,  and  a 
thorough  understanding  of  these  dogs  in  particular 
must  be  had.  Without  experience  of  them  breeding  is 
a  most  difficult  matter,  as  the  chances  are  all  on  the 
side  that  the  mother  would  die  in  giving  birth  to  her 
litter,  and  even  did  she  survive  the  ordeal,  she  is 
likely  to  destroy  her  young,  and  for  a  time  great  pre- 
caution must  be  used  to  prevent  this. 

"Again  the  Chihuahua  dogs  are  very  exclusive  in 
their  affections,  and  as  a  rule  will  choose  a  favorite 
among  those  that  care  for  them,  and  become  extremely 
attached,  and  once  such  an  attachment  is  formed  it  is 
very  difficult  to  break  off,  and  to  turn  them  over  to 
strangers  is  apt  to  be  a  fatal  process.  When  pro- 
cured at  a  proper  age  they  are  apt  to  be  made  a  great 
deal  of  and  spoiled,  for  they  are  very  affectionate, 
and  demand  all  sorts  of  attention.  If  they  don't  get 
it,  they  will  pout  and  mope  around  for  hours  and 
seem  to  try  and  make  their  bodily  suffering  equal  to 
their  mental  by  hiding  in  the  coldest  and  draughtiest 
spots  they  can  find  Neglect  of  attention  soon  tells 
on  them,  and  it  is  that  more  than  anything  else  that 
Tras  produced  the  very  general  idea  that  these  dogs 
cannot  exist  out  of  their  native  climate.  Such,  how- 
ever, is  not  the  case,  as  they  can  stand  any  climate, 
and  are  strongly  constituted.  I  have  never  known 
one  to  have  distemper.  Both  of  my  Brazilian  dogs 
had  it.  I  lost  one.  and  just  got  the  other  through  by 
a  miracle. 

"The  Chihuahua  dogs  slept  in  the  same  box  with 
these  nearly  three  weeks  before  we  knew  what  was 
the  matter,  and  not  one  of  them  got  a  touch  of  it. 
No  one  should  acquire  a  Chihuahua  dog  unless  in- 
clined to  pander  to  their  whims  and  notions,  and  in- 
tend to  continue  so  to  do.  Dog  trainers  are  almost 
united  in  their  belief  that  small  dogs  are  useless  as 
performing  dogs,  but  most  who  have  seen  my  troupi 
perform  must  of  necessity  alter  their  opinion  and  ad- 
mit that  the  Chihuahua  dogs  are  marvels  of  intelli- 
gence. 


American  Bred  Dogs. — The  Los  Angeles  Times  pub- 
lishes the  following  special  dispatch  concerning  a  new 
rule  adopted  by  the  American  Kennel  Club  at  a  meet- 
ing held  in  New  York  on  December  22nd: 

At  a  meeting  of  the  American  Kennel  Club  an  im- 
portant decision  was  rendered  regarding  what  shall 
be  considered  an  American  bred  dog.  Hereafter  only 
dogs  bred  in  the  United  Stales  shall  be  allowed  to 
compete  under  this  head.  As  a  consequence  of  this 
ruling  Canadian  dogs  will  be  barred,  r.xcept  where 
special  mention  m  made  that  they  may  compete. 
Fifty  of  the  109  clubs  of  the  association  were  repre- 
sented at  the  meeting  which  followed  a  reception,  cel- 
ebrating the  twenty-first  annual  birthday  of  the  or- 
ganization. The  presiding  officer  was  H  H.  Hunne- 
well  of  Boston.  The  question  discussed  was  whether 
or  not  a  dog  bred  anywhere  on  this  continent  shall  be 
called  American.  When  a  vote  was  taken  it  was  di  - 
cided  that  the  word  American,  wherever  used  by 
American   Kennel  Club,  shall  mean  a   person  "111

HUNTING    NOTES. 


Further,  the  snipe  patches  were  also  frozen  solid, 
there  was  nothing  to  do  for  the  longbills  until  the 
ground  thawed  later  in  the  day. 


Weather  conditions  for  several  days  past  are  much 


conducive  for  great   sport   to-morrow 


on   marsh,   up- 


land  and  snipe  patch.  The  northerly  winds  have 
riven  the  sportsmen  who  frequent  the  Suisun.  So- 
noma and  Petaluma  marshes  and  the  up-river  tule 
sections  a  decided  advantage  over  the  shooters  who 
visit  the  resorts  south  of  a  line  drawn  between  the 
mouth  of  Petaluma  creek  and  the  opposite  bay  shore 
at  San  Pablo.  During  the  recent  rainy  and  stormy 
weather  however,  these  southern  sections  turned  out 
many  good  bags  of  ducks— newly  arrived  northern 
birds,  among  which  fat  canvasbacks  were  very  plen- 
tiful. The  comparatively  small  rainfall  this  week, 
up  to  Friday  morning,  was  not  enough  to  change  con- 
ditions generally,  there  being  but  few  fresh-water 
feeding  ponds  in  the  interior,  the  ducks  still  fre- 
quent the  baited  ponds  and  tidewater  feeding  grounds. 
Reliable  observers  claim  that,  all  in  all,  there  are  as 
many  ducks  in  evidence  here  and  there  on  the  many- 
shooting  grounds,  and  particularly  in  the  Sacramento, 
Yolo  and  San  Joaquin  basins  as  have  been  noted  for 
many  years  past.  The  shipments  of  market  hunters 
and  the  bags  shot  by  sportsmen  seem  to  bear  out  the 
statement.  As  for  geese,  they  are  to  be  found  in  some 
sections  apparently  by  the  millions,  notably  so  in  Co- 
lusa  and  Glenn  counties. 

Quail  hunter?,  excepting  the  members  of  some  of 
the  Marin  county  gun  clubs,  have  now  to  go  a  con- 
siderable distance  from  this  city  to  get  feathers,  for 
the  majority  of  the  nearby  hunting  grounds  have  now 
been  pretty  well  shot  out.  The  few  birds  that  are 
left  are  wise  to  man  and  dog  and  keep  safely  out  of 
the  hunter's  way  by  taking  to  thick  covert. 

Richardson's  Bay  is  keeping  up  its  past  reputation 
as  a  loafing  place  for  immense  flocks  of  "cans"  and 
bluebills.  wher.e  they  stay,  resting  in  safety,  until 
routed  ^ut  by  rifle  shot  or  power  boats  sent  out  to 
make  the  birds  move. 

We  know  of  a  cut  off  between  the  rolling  hills  on 
the  northerly  spur  of  land  that  dips  into  the  bay, 
about  300  yards  from  Dr.  Lyford's  residence,  that  is 
about  as  good  a  flightway  for  tihe  birds  as  can  be 
found  anywhere.  The  morning  and  evening  shoot, 
for  limits  is  had  by  shooters  standing  in  a  stubble- 
field,  taking  the  birds  as  they  fly  across  the  narrow 
neck  of  land.  Thos.  Dieffenbach  bagged  33  fat  can- 
vasbacb  late  one  afternoon  this  week  in  less  than 
an  hour. 

During  the  week  some  excellent  shooting  was  on 
tap  along  the  bay  shore  near  San  Pablo  station. 
Shooting  from  one  of  the  brush  blinds  last  Sunday 
Mr.  Harry  Freder  accounted  for  the  limit  early  in  the

The  Willow  Slough  Gun  Club  of  Woodland,  having 
a  membership  of  sixty  shooters,  is  endeavoring  to 
settle  a  vexed  question—whether  or  no  club  mem- 
bers may  shoot  for  the  market.  The  sentiment  of  the 
majority,   it  is  claimed,  is  against  it.

Geese  are  to  be  found  on  Ryer  Island,  above  Rio

Ducks  in  Tomales   Bay. 

Tomales  Bay  is  at  present  a  favorite  resort  for  large 
Mocks  of  ducks,  canvasbacks,  bluebills,  widgeon  and 
other  varieties.  Several  months  ago  a  scow  schooner 
was  sunk  in  the  shallows  off  Marshalls,  a  part  of  the 
cargo  was  grain.  This  stuff  was  eventually  scattered 
from  the  vessel's  deck  and  hold  all  over  the  bottom 
of  the  adjacent  bay.  The  ducks  were  not  long  in 
finding  the  feed  and  in  consequence  are  now  much  in 
evidence  at  that  locality.  One  hunter  recently  killed 
150  canvasbacks  in  three  days,  shooting  on  the  fly  way 
of  the  birds  in  going  to  or  returning  from  the  sub- 
merged granary. 


paring  ducks  and  will  be  good.  Some  people  parboil 
them,  but  this  is  not  necessary  and  detracts  from  their 
flavor. 

'  They  should  be  hung  for  a  day  or  two  after  they 
are  dressed,  but  so  should  any  other  wild  fowl.     No 
man  should  stay  at  home  because  there  is  only  mud 
hen  shooting  to   be   obtained." 

Mudhens  are  the  bete  noir  of  the  club  preserve 
grounds  for  they  have  a  capacity  for,  and  a  per- 
sistent cunning  in  cleaning  out  the  baited  ponds  of 
the  food  intended  for  the  ducks. 

Many  of  our  Coast  sportsmen  praise  the  table  qual- 
ities of  this  bird.  At  a  swell  San  Diego  resort  mud- 
hens  have  for  several  years  been  quite  a  favorite  on 
the  bill  of  fare,  where  they  were  designated  a,s 
"poule  dou" — water  hens.  The  distinction  in  nomen- 
clature may  not  have  added  to  the  flavor  but  it  does 
certainly  place  the  bird  above  the  prosaic  plane  to 
which  it  has  been  relegated  by  sportsmen.  In  this 
State,  in  fact  all  over  the  Coast,  mudhens  are  so 
plentiful  that  in  some  sections  they  are  regarded  as 
a  nuisance. 

This  situation  is  but  temporary,  for  the  mudhen's 
indifferent  place  in  the  category  of  game  birds  here 
will  soon  pass  away  and  the  bird  will  in  due  course 
become  comparatively  scarce  as  has  been  the  history 
of  other,  once  plentiful,  birds. 


Santa   Clara   Valley   Notes. 

Recent  reports  from  San  Jose  state  that  hunting 
on  both  marsh  and  upland  has  been  excellent.  Dur- 
ing the  present  holiday  season  the  sportsmen  of  that 
section  have  not  been  out  in  as  great  numbers  as  usual. 
The  majority  of  the  duck  hunters  favor  the  vicinity 
of  the  drawbridges,  which  lie  about  four  miles  out  of 
Alviso.  There  is  a  heavy  demand  for  ducks  at  the 
local  game  markets.  Many  of  the  Alviso  duck  hunters 
are  kept  busy  supplying  the  city  merchants. 

Amang  the  returns  received  are  the  following:  Dan 
Flannery  and  Joe  Nealon,  the  limit  of  ducks;  G.  Brod- 
erick,  35;  E.  Marcene,  22;  J.  Bailey,  34;  J.  Freine.  36; 
A.  Bosquet,  17;  Fred  Fowler,  the  limit;  Louis  Wan- 
derer, the  limit;  W.  Lane.  38;  Sam  Lowe,  12  canvas- 
back;  A.  Frick  and  G.  Machado,  11  ducks  each  at 
Mil  pitas. 

Quail  shooting  is  fine  in  all  parts  "of  the  valley  and 
adjacent  foothills.  There  are  fewer  persons  hunting 
quail  than  ducks.  The  vicinity  of  Boulder  Creek, 
Mount  Hamilton  and  Stevens  Creek  are  reported  to  be 
good  localities.  H.  Sault  secured  the  limit  of  quail 
and  four  wild  pigeons  near  Boulder  Creek  on  the 
21st<  inst.  J.  Wilmes  shot  16  quail  near  Stevens 
Creek. 

A  party  "of  Haywards  hunters  spent  a  week  back 
of  Mount  Hamilton  recently.  They  had  great  sport 
and  got  the  limit  on  quail  every  day.  The  following 
sportsmen  comprised  the  party:  C.  C.  VanEat-on, 
Ed.  Mofnt,  J.  W.  Nelson,  of  Oakland.  F.  Monnett,  Bert 
and  Arthur  Manter. 


They   Like  It  Over  There. 

The  grand  bag  of  wild  ducks  secured  at  Balnagown 
Castle  in  three  days,  during  the  recent  visit  of  Prince 
Arthur  of  Connaught,  was  on  the  part  of  English 
sportsmen  the  subject  of  much  favorable  comment. 
The  district  around  the  Castle  is  admirably  suited  for 
this  form  of  sport,  being  studded  with  lochs,  and  the 
birds  formed  a  strong  flight  from  one  to  the  other 
of  these  sheets  of  water,  and  gave  excellent  sport. 
The  young  Prince  was  delighted,  and  little  wonder, 
for  in  the  three  days  the  bag  included  upwards  of 
2400  head  of  wild  duck  alone. 

This  puts  the  nineteen  limits  on  canvasback  by 
Alameda  Gun  Club  members  last  season  a  bit  in  the 
shade. 


Mudhens  Are   in   Demand. 

The  humble  and  much  abused  mudhen  (crow  ducks 
in  the  East)  has  gradually  obtained  a  fairly  strong 
position  as  a  game  bird  and  table  delicacy  with 
Eastern  sportsmen.  In  telling  of  the  bird,  looked 
upon  with  contempt  by  nearly  all  shooters  and  passed 
up  by  almost  all  of  them  when  it  comes  to  casting 
about  for  a  day's  shooting,  one  sportsman  states: 

"It  is  a  fashion  among  sportsmen  to  decry  the  great 
American  coot,  miscalled  a  mudhen.  It  does  not  feed 
on  mud,  does  not  like  mud,  and  will  not  live  in  mud 
if  it  can  get  any  other  sort  of  dampness  to  live  in. 

"It  is  a  grain-feeding  bird,  fond  of  wild  rice,  will 
eat  duck  grass  and  such  things,  and  prefers  just  such 
food  as  the  mallard  loves.  It  is  good  eating  w^hen 
properly    prepared,    and   good   shooting. 

"It  is  not  uncommon  to  see  a  man  who  has  talked 
a  good  deal  about  the  slowness  of  a  mudhen  get  into 
a  boat,  go  out  on  a  lake  and  flush  and  miss  a  dozen 
of  them.  The  fact  is,  the  big  coot  has  an  appearance 
Of  awkwardness  in  flight  and  it  takes  up  some  time 
in  getting  off  the  water,  but  it  is  always  going  a  good 
deal  faster  than  it  seems  to  be  going,  and,  speeding 
down  the  wind,  it  is  at  least  as  hard  to  center  and 
stop  as  many  of  the  ducks— sawbills,  for  instance, 
or  spoonbills  or  gadwalls. 

•'It  is  hard  to  account  for  the  prejudice  against  the 
mudhen.  It  has  a  fishy  flavor  when  scarcity  of  other 
food  compels  it  to  feed  upon  minnows  and  other  chubs, 
Put  so  have  other  ducks  in  similar  straits. 

"When  making  its  way  down  from  the  north,  using 
woods  lakes  for  stopping  places  and  winding  down  the 
big  livers,  it  lives  on  wild  rice  almost  wholly,  and 
n  has  a  delicate  and  delicious  flavor.  There  is  al- 
ways a  chance  that  a  mudhen  has  been  feeding  upon 
fish,  because  of  the  possibility  that  it  has  been  on 
short  commons  somewhere;  so  it  is  better  to  skin  it 
as  a  matter  of  precaution,  but  it  is  easier  to  skin  any 
kind  of  duck  than  to  pick  it,  and  the  skinning  does 
not    injure   the   table   qualities. 

"In  preparing  mudhens  for  the  table  they  should 
be  skinned  and  the  legs  cut  off  and  thrown  away. 
•  inly  the  breast  and  back  should  be  served.  They 
may  he  cooked  in  any  of  the  customary  ways  of  pre- 


A    Lucky    Hunter. 

German  sportsmen  take  peculiar  pleasure  in  stalk- 
ing deer  in  the  "roaring"  season,  but,  as  .they  consider 
the  trophies  and  not  the  venison,  it  does  not  matter. 
Rominten  is  the  Kaiser's  favorite  deer-stalking  forest, 
and  nobody  else  is  allowed  to  shoot  there  except  the 
chief  forest  officials,  the  wardens  of  the  forest,  or 
those  sub-foresters  who  kill  a  stag  at  their  orders. 
XTnder  Kaiser  Wilhelm  I  the  Rominten  Heide  was 
neglected;  but  after  the  death  of  Prince  Frederick 
Charles  in  1SS5  Prince  Wilhelm's  attention  was  drawn 
to  Rominten,  and  from  that  time  this  forest  has  been 
reserved  for  his  use  alone.  He  did  not,  however,  visit 
it  till  the  autumn  of  1890,  and  then — as  there  was  no 
residence — he  put  up  at  the  village  inn,  a  very  primi-  ■ 
tive  sort  of  place  for  lodging  Royalty!  The  following 
year  he  had  a  Norwegian  house  of  wood  erected  by 
Norwegian  workmen.  The  wood  and  even  the  bricks 
for  the  stones  were  brought  over  from  Norway.  Thel 
Norwegian  workmen  fancied  that  Germany  could  not 
supply  pines  like  theirs,  and  were  rather  dubious  as 
to  Teuton  bricks,  so  thought  they  had  better  bring 
their  own  with  them.  The  Rominten  Heide,  as  the 
forest  is  called,  comprises  about  72,000  acres,  and  is 
the  remnant  of  a  gigantic  forest  that  spread  centuries 
ago  from  Memel  to  Ortelsburg.  and  was  about  forty 
miles  broad,  and  served  as  a  defence  against  anyone 
coming"  from  Poland.  It  is  the  "Wilderness,"  as  this 
tract  of  country  in  Lithuania  used  to  be  called.  The 
Order  of  Prussian  Knights  acquired  possession  of  it,  I 
and  ruled  it  and  hunted  in  it  from  their  mighty 
fortress  at  Marienburg;  and  later  on  the  Great  Elector 
was  fond  of  hunting  there.  The  best  German  stags 
come  from  the  Rominten  Forest.  Their  heads  are  mas- 
sive and  dark,  and  the  stalking  in  the  forest  is  diffi- 
cult and  interesting.  The  stags,  when  they  "roar"  in 
the  rutting  season,  have  a  very  deep  tone — a  powerful 
throat,  as  they  say  over  here.  The  Kaiser  always 
kills  some  very  fine  pointers  The  forest  has  also  a 
good  reputation  for  trout.  Besides  the  Rominte,  from 
which  it  derives  its  name,  there  are  numerous  streams 
and  small  lakes.

THE  MAKING  OF  BABY  BEEF. 

(Jos.  Wing,  before  the  Louisiana  Stock 

Breeders'   Association,  condensed  for 

Farm   and   Ranch.) 

I  sometimes  illustrate  this  idea,  (of 
feeding  calves  just  a  little  less  than 
they  want)  by  telling  the  boys  how  to 
keep  their  sweethearts  glad  to  see 
them  That  is  a  thing  of  importance 
to  the  young  man,  and  to  the  sweet- 
heart too.  It  is  mighty  good  to  have 
ner  glad  to  see  you  when  you  call  up- 
on her,  and  the  way  is  easy.  Here  is 
the  rule,  remember  it.  Always  go 
away  from  her  about  Ave  minutes  be- 
fore she  wishes  you  to  go!  If  you 
will  do  that,  when  she  sees  you  com- 
ing again  she  will  welcome  you  with 
a  smile,  but  if,  instead,  you  over- 
stay five  minutes,  if  you  tire  her  with 
your  company,  when  next  she  sees 
you  coming,  do  you  know  the  first 
thought  that  enters  her  mind?  It  is. 
"Why,  here  comes  that  man  ^ho 
made  me  so  tired  the  last  time  he 
was  here." 

It  is  exactly  so  with  the  calf.  too. 
When  he  conies  up  to  get  his  feed, 
if  he  has  been  overfed,  he  thinks. 
•■Why.  this  is  the  food  that  gave  me 
that  pain  under  my  apron"  and  de- 
clines with  thanks.  Of  the  twelve 
hmidred  babies  on  Woodland  Farm 
we  try  to  keep  every  one  m  this  ea„er 
expectancy,  each  one  wishing  that  he 
had   three   grains  more  «(  «. 

Well  what  next?  Next  that  call 
needs  a  clean,  dry  bed  and  sunny 
nface  He  needs  a  chance  to  find 
Clover  and  alfalfa  hay,  some  corn 
fodder,  nice  and  bright,  any  forage 
fnat  s  available,  in  sufficient  amount 
and  of  as  good  quality  as  can  be  hac. 
He    needs    a      small    yard,     dry      and

scales  to  be  weighed.     I  ratnei 
getting    on    to    the    scales    these    days 
for    I    usually    find    fnat    I    have     os 
weight  during  the  year,    and     that     1 


do  not  actually  weigh  as  much  as  I 
did  the  previous  year,  and  that  wor- 
ries me,  when  I  remember  all  the 
food  that  I  have  eaten,  all  to  no  ap- 
parent avail.  Why,  it  has  not  paid 
to  feed  me.  it  would  have  been  cheaper 
to  have  knocked  me  in  the  head  in 
the  fall.  But  the  oldest  boy  has  gained 
about  eight  pounds,  and  that  middle 
boy  has  gained  ten,  and  the  blessed 
baby  has  gained  twelve  pounds!  Think 
of  at.  with  less  food  each  one  has 
gained  a  hundred  times  as  much  as 
I  have  gained.  It  has  stuck  to  their 
ribs,   but   not  mine. 

"It  is  a  fact  that  a  pound  of  dry 
matter  fed  to  a  calf  when  it  is  very 
young  will  make  a  pound  of  gain  on 
its  body.  Now,  that  seems  impossi- 
ble, but  you  must  remember  that  the 
pound  of  gain,  is  part  of  it  water,  and 
I  speak  of  a  pound  of  absolutely  dry 
matter.  Now,  can  you  not  see  why 
it  is  imperative  that  you  should  feed 
those  calves  all  the  good  food  that 
you  can  get  for  them  to  consume  while 
they  are  very  young  babies? 

Here  are  some  figures  for  you  to 
remember.  It  costs  to  create  cattle 
about  according  to  these  figures, 
which  are  based  on  about  forty-five 
different  experiments  of  different  ex- 
periment stations  and  fat  stock  show 
records.  The  value  of  the  figures  is 
in  the  comparison,  for.  of  course, 
prices  of  food  stuffs  vary.  For  the 
first  year  it  costs  to  make  the  baby 
grow,  while  yet  all  his  cells  are  ac- 
tive, $3.50  per  hundred  pounds.  For 
the  second  year  it  costs  a  little  more 
than  double  tha-t,  or  $7.50  per  hun- 
dred. For  the  third  year  $11,  and  for 
the  fourth  year  $17.  Now  you  see 
why  our  food  should  go  to  babies, 
why  you  simply  can't  afford  to  lose 
your  opportunity  to  feed  them  well  at 
the   earliest   possible   age.

"Save-the-Horse"  has  proven  absolutely-

strained,  injured  and  broken  down  tendons,

Washington,  D.  C,  December  27, 1904. 
Troy  Chemical  Company,  Binghamton,  New  York. 

Gatulemsn— I  first  tried  the  remedy  on  a  thoroughbred,  which  had  bowed  both  tendons  aDd  which 
had  beet,  flred  once  and  blistered  a  number  of  times,  but  every  time  he  was  trained  one  or  ihe  other 
of  the  legs  would  fill.  This  happened  three  years  in  succession.  Last  Spring  I  bought  a  bottle  of 
■■3ave-tbe-Horse,"  and  used  it  according  to  directions  with  the  result  that  he  started  7  times,  at  all 
distances  in  uly  last,  and  won  3  times,  second  3  times  and  third  once— an  excellent  record— and  be 
appears  to  be  perfectly  sound  to-day,  and  will  be  raced  nest  month.  I  am  firmly  convinced  without 
your  remedy  he  would  not  have  been  worth  a  dollar  as  a  race  horse. 

I  have  a  roadster  which  stepped  in  a  hole  at  pasture  ar.d  wrenched  a  hind  ankle— so  badly  that 
be  could  not  put  his  foot  on  the  ground.  I  was  advised  to  shout  him,  as  It  was  claimed  that  he  had 
iojured  his  blp.  Instead,  I  blistered  him  and  he  became  servlceably  sound,  but  limped  at  every  step. 
Upon  close  examination  I  found  a  growth  between  the  coronary  band  and  the  ankle  which  developed 
into  ring  bone.  I  used  one  bottle  of  "Save  the  Horse"  on  the  growth,  and  It  entirely  disappeared. 
He  has  not  taken  a  lame  step  since 

Knowing  the  value  of  the  remedy  I  do  not  hesitate  to  recommend  it  to  all  horse  owners  of  my 
acquaintance.  Very  truly.

-We  have  frequently  called  attention 
to  the  fertilizing  value  of  wood  ashes, 
especially  as  a  source  of  potash.  With- 
out unnecessarily  repeating  what  we 
have  said  as  to  the  composition  of 
ashes  and  the  crops  for  which  they  are 
best  suited,  it  may  be  advantageous  to 
point  out  that  while  the  commercial 
value  of  ashes  will  depend  upon  the 
potash  and  phosphoric  acid  content, 
the  manurial  value  will  be  consider- 
ably higher.  The  presence  of  a  large 
amount  of  lime,  the  mild  alkalinity  of 
the  ash,  the  particular  combinations  in 
which  two  elements  of  plant  food  are 
held,  are  all,  undoubtedly,  factors  that 
enhance  the  value  of  wood  ashes  as  a 
fertilizer.  In  other  words,  the  benefits 
derived  from  their  use  include,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  supplying  of  mineral 
plant  food,  the  correction  of  sourness, 
the  conversion  of  injurious  iron  com- 
pounds into  harmless  forms,  the  en- 
couragement of  nitrification,  and  the 
general  improvement  of  the  tilth  of  the 
soil.  It  has  frequently  been  noticed 
that  soil  to  which  ashes  have  been  ap- 
plied is  much  better  able  to  resist  the 
injurious  effect  of  a  protracted  drouth 
than  adjoining  land  that  has  not  been 
so  treated." 

A  novelty  at  the  large  agricultural 
show  in  London  is  a  churn  which  is 
reported  to  make  butter  in  sixty  sec- 
onds. The  cream  is  placed  in  the  ves- 
sel so  that  the  "dasher"  is  in  the  cen- 
ter and  about  one  and  one-half  inches 
below  the  surface.  The  handle  is  then 
turned  slowly  for  a  few  seconds,  and 
ihen  at  a  good  speed,  and  within  one 
minute  butter  is  formed.  If  some  fresh 
,  ol  1  water  be  poured- in  and  the  handle 
turned  slowly  two  or  three  times,  the 
butter  is  ready  for  washing  and  mak- 
ing up.  There  is  nothing  especially 
wrong  with  these  quick  butter  gather- 
ers, except  that  a  large  per  cent  of  the 
butter  fat  is  left  in  the  milk,  the  but- 
ter is  of  poor  quality  and  its  keeping 
possibilities   are  very  low. 


RACI  NG! 


Feeding  embraces  a  large  number  of 
farm  subjects  to  which  it  is  directly 
related.  Crop  production  is  one  of 
these.  If  the  stock  owner  knows  how 
to  pasture  his  cattle,  hogs  or  cows 
cheaply  his  foundation  for  success  has 
been  laid.  The  abundant  winter  pas- 
ture that  may  be  had  in  the  Southwest 
nearly  every  season  for  every  month 
during  the  winter,  prompts  this  state- 
ment. Wheat,  oats,  barley  emmer. 
s.-lz.  i  ye.  rescue  grass,  burr  clover 
and  tin-  veches  are  our  primary  pas- 
ture plants  for  ivi'nter  u.-e.  Are  they 
on  a  large  pel  cenl  of  our  farms  that 
carry  stock  as  a  leading  feature?  Here 
special  knowledge  is  required.  Know 
the  plant  know  the  land,  are  absolute 
requirements.

INDIANAPOLIS 


The  LOGICAL  and  the  BEST  MARKET 
For  CALIFORNIA 


TROTTERS 

and  PACERS 

Recent  sales  have  clearly  demonstrated  that  INDIANAPOLIS  is  the  country's  greatest  sales  centre 
for  Racing  Prospects  and  Breeding  Stock  of  Merit,  and  future  sales  will  all  the  more  emphasize  this  already  proven  claim  for  the  metropolis 
and  traffic  center  of  the  Ohio  Valley  secion. 

California  horsemen,  SEEKING  A  MARKET  for  their  holdings,  will  do  well  to  bear  in  mind  that  both 
Sidney  Dillon  and  McKinney  were  purchased  by  Indiana  Breeders. 

Indianapolis  Sales  are  frequented  bv  liberal  buyers  not  only  from  the  Middle  West,  but  al60  by 
those  same  Eastern  Euyers  who  in  past  years  ?ave  prestige  to  the  sales  at  Cleveland. 

Express  Charges  on  carload  shipments,  California  points  to  Indianapolis,  are  less  than  Fifty 
Dollars  per  head— a  nominal  expense  in  comparison  to  the  increment  of  values  obtainable  at  Indianapolis.
