C. D. Ely has changed the name of his Electioneer colt
from C. D. E. to Suuolo. This is an honor to the horse's
sister, Sunol.

Sam Brown of Pittsburg has as is well-known, a
first class two-year-olds, the pick of the lot being
sbon-Bounie Meade.

ifillows Journal says that if B. C. Holly desires to

modate him. *

All the recognized horse sharps were taken in and done
for last Friday night. The sure thing did not come off, and
consequently the boys are "cussing" McAuliff.

A valuable mare, belonging to Martin Nevin of Livermore
last week ran a nail into her hoof, from which death resulted*

Mr. C. V. Topper was kicked in the face by a Broncho, at
the track oo Wednesday afternoon. The injury is not sup-
posed to be serious.

Billy Appleby was resplendent on New Year's day at the
track, sporting a glossy silk hat of the latest style. Boots,
Stover and Haslitt will follow suit next race day,

Iumundermany obligations to.Mr.Chas. T. Boots for time
and trouble taken in procuring me information this week
relative to Eastern meetings.

Mr. C. V. Tapper has adopted royal purple as his colors
and only needs the gold stripes to have the silk sported by
the Prince of Wales stable.

I wish that readers of the Breeder and Sportsman would
take note that everything of interest respecting horse
matters is sent to this office as soon as possible after its
occurrence. Items are always serviceable and appreciated.

W. H. Wilson, of Cynthiaoa, Ky., sends word that he has
matched his yearling colt Ottoman by Sultan, against San
Jose by Graud Sentinel. San Jose is the property of A. S.
Browne of Kalamazoo, Mich. The match is for $250 a side,
and will be trotted in 1889.

Dan McCarty will take three car-loads of trotting horses
East some time this month. They will be disposed of at
auction. Hj will return as soon as possible to prepare his
stable of thoroughbreds for the 1889 campaign.

Joe Courtney, late of Theodore Winter's stable, has been
engaged by Mr. Newton to train the Australian colts, wbioh
have been at the Bay District track for some time. The
horses have been taken to Sacramento, where Joe will pre-
pare them for work on the track. Look out for them at the
Blood Horse Meeting.

Noah Armstrong. Esq., of Memphis, Tenn., has been in
town this week. Californian horsemen have not forgotten
how the rern-eBentatives of the Memphis Jockey Club always
treat the Pacific Coast delegation, consequently he has been
entertained right royally. Mr. Armstrong, in addition to
owning a stable of runners, also owns a large breeding farm
in Montana.

Recently a four-year old Brigadier colt, valued at
$300, was found dead on Mayor Slattery's ranch, east of
Marysville. There was nothiDg but a bullet wound to tell
the tale but the shootiug is supposed to have been accidental.
Mr. flattery is very naturally indignant. There is a limit to
even his good nature, and he has prohibited shooting on his
rauch for the future.

There is a rumor current that J. B. Haggin Esq. has made
an exceeding good offer to Billy Lakeland for the well-known
horse Exile. Even if the story be true, the Raucho del Paso
will not K6e him before the fall aa Mr. Lakeland has hioa en-
tered in many of the Eistern stakes for 18S9. Exile would
make a good addition to the thoroughbred stallions already
in California. It was this horse which caused Mr. Haggin
to m il.e a rule that his jockeys could ride no outside horses
when oue of his own waB in a race. He came as near beat-
ing Fireuzi at Monmouth as could be, Hamilton being
loaned to Mr. Lakeland for the occasion.

Johnny Goldsmith is elated over the speed shown by Or-
phan Wilkes, a two-year-old, dam Flora Langford, who went
a mile one day last week in 2:30, and this with only three
weeks handling.

If Ossory bhould be entered in the Suburban by Mr. Milton
Young, and True Briton by Senator Hearst, we shall have a
contest of Bpeed between the horses of England, Australia,
ann the United States.

I wonder if our readers have ever thought of the salary to
be paid the jockey Hamilton by Senator Hearst. The colored
lad will receive for the season's work almost doublewhat his
employer receives as United Spates Senator.

P. J. Donahoe Esq. formerly a prominent member of the
Blood Horse Association, is now on his way to the Pacifio
Coast.. For the past fourteen months Mr. Donahoe has been
in Europe.

Anteeo, 2: l6£, and which, by the by, all the Eastern papers
in speaking of this noted Electioneer stallion, make 2:16*, is
going out of the State for the season of 1SS9. He will start
for Kentucky shortly in charge of J. W.Knox, and will stand
in all probability at or near Lexington.

Mr. W. T. WitberB of Fairlawn Btock farm, Lexington Ky.,
is at present in Florida, the severe winters making it neces-
sary that he shculd pass the colder months in a less severe
climate. Mr. Withers should pay California a visit, and
thenceforward he would winter here.

Mr. David Winders of Stockton has purchased from Smith
and Howard the well-known racing mare Lida Ferguson the
price paid being $2,000. Mr. Winders came down from
San Joaquin and saw the mare run on Tuesday last at the
Bay District. He was so pleased with her looks that before
many hours he had a bill of sale for her in his pocket. Mr.
Winders will have a stable of horses ready for the Spring
meetings, he having already bought several and proposes to
purchase others. _

A correspondent of the Spirit of the Times writing from San
Diego says, I cannot conceive of a more perfect place for the
development of all the powers of a horse than the warm val-
leys of this region. All the year round they run, supplied
by the best of feed and water, and every muscle fills and
rounds and makes a perfect horse. That is why California
yearlings, and two-year-olds, and three-year-olds, and four-
year-olds are record breakers.

W. M. Murray will train the Western division of the Hearst
stable this year, and will take all his own string in conjunc-
tion with the Hearst lot. M. F. Tarpey has also added the
mare Nolidle to the joint stable, and she will go East with
the balance. Louisville will be the first place where the green
and yellow colors will be seen.

Can any reader of the Breeder and Sportsman inform us
anything about the breeding of a thoroughbred stallion
named Oliver Cromwell, and if he has a record? The horse
died at the farm of L. M. L. Landrum, Peach Tree, Monterey
County, this State, in 1886.

There is at present in this city a horse of the Clydesdale
breed, named The Equine Jumbo. In size he is a perfect
wonder, being 20£ hands in height, and weighs, so it is snid,
2.760 pounds. He measures around the arm 32* inches,
stifle 44£, the length of the face is 36?; inches. The horse is
owned by W. T. Lundy, was foaled at Brampton, Canada,
five years ago, and is a gelding.

Mr. Chas. Kerr, of Bafcersfield, after carefully inspecting all
the desirable thoroughbred Btallions for sale throughout the
State, has at last selected the four-year-old Apache, by Mor-
timer, dam The Banshee. As far as blood goes Mr. Kerr could
hardly have made a better choice for his stud, and with his
very excellent brood mares should show fine stock as the re-
sult of the judicious selections.

Judge C. N. Post of Sacramento has selected, in his own
mind, the best two-year-old at the Sacramento track. It is a
King Bau filly owned by the Hon. L. U. Shippee of Stock-
ton. I have heard from others that this daughter of King
Ban is a very promising youngster, and shall not be sur-
prised if she turnes out first rate.

Funny remarks can be heard at a race meeting by anyone
who listens attentively. I overheard two men talkiDg about
trotting horses at the Bay District a few days ago, and one
said to the other, " Wonder why Mr. Ayres uamed his horse
Balkan." "Oh." said the other, "he called him after a n
of mountains in Spain!"

The horse Al Farrow paraed into the charge of Davis and
Hazlitt, who will train him in future for Mr. Tupper, one
day last week. In the same stable there are a1 so Laura Gard-
ner, Black Pilot, Jack Brady, and a three-year-old tilly by
Longfield, dam by Bazar, second dam Avail. Al Farrow and
Laura Gardner will both be taken East next spring. The
mare will be entered in several of the long distance races, as
her owners consider her able to cope with any of the cracks.

We find in the Watsonville Pajaronian the following:
Some time ago J. Linscott challenged the Gonzales Bros.
to trot their horse Junio against Jim L. on the Salinas track
for the gate receipts. To this challenge thay replied with one
to trot for $2,500 a side, on a fair day, as soon as possible,
on the Bay District Track, San Francisco, the race to be mile
heats, best three in five, National trotting rules to govern.
Mr. Linscott has replied accepting this challenge, conditioned
upon the race being upon the Salinas track. It is to be hoped
that the race will take place. It would prove an exciting con-
test between two fast and almost equally matched horses.,
Watsonville horsemen will be there in force if the race takes
place.

Beside bringing to California the handsome stallion Mon-
day, Mr. Sam Gamble also brought Ida Wood (Simmons 2:28

— Ida W. by Mambrino Patchen), Cynthiana (Lord Russell

dam by Dictator), Julia Clay (by Harry Clay 2:29), Roman
Princess (by Ethan Wilkes — dam by Ky. Prince), Alma (by
Almont — dam by Snowstorm), Tone (by Ferguson — Neroli
by Volunteer) a mare by Dillard Dudley and another by'Jdol
Wilkes. The mareR were in foal to Noonday, Wiltoo, Roder-
ick and Bourbon Russell. The colt Prince Red, .by Red
Wilkes, dam Molly Stout by Mambrino Time completes a
list that is only another proof of Mr. Gamble's good judge-
ment as to what blood is of itself especially good, and is
needed on this coast.

A novel match was recently witnessed on the stage of the
Adelphi Theatre Buffalo, N. Y. A. J. Berry had bet Hall
Stoddard $250 that he would clip his bay horse Edward J
quicker than Stoddard would his roan mare May S. Both
horses were got upon the stage after a great deal of trouble.
A rotary clipper was used, and Stoddard clipped his mare
in twenty-six minutes. Edwin J was unused to the foot-
lights and balked, so that his clipping occupied several min-
utes more. No official time was taken. During the match
both horses pranced about the stage in a lively fashion, and
one young man's foot was injured by being stepped upon.
Edwin F. Roche afterward challenged anybody in New
York State to a similar match for the same amount.

The Oakland Track.

range

A look at the Oakland track is not very inviting unless you
send word to the different owners before hand that you
desire to inspect their stock. Not having taken this neoeB-
sary precaution, the information obtained there on Monday
last was not as full aa it will be on the next visit. ThankB to
the kind offices of Sam Gamble, a reporter of the Breeder
and Sportsman was enabled to have a look at a few of the
horses now there; the first Been being the splendid trotter
Balkan, 2.293, by Mambrino WilkeB, dam Fannie Fern.
This splendid member of the Wilkes family would undoubt-
edly have a much better record than he now has, but owing
to sickness he was not seen at his best on the circuit. From
present appearanceB, the end of 'S9 will see Balkan with a
much lower record than he has at present. In addition to
Balkan, Mr. Irviu Ayer has some seven or eight other colts
and fillies, all of whom look very well. Mr. C. O. Thorn-
quest showed a full brother to Adonis, who has been named
Cupid. He is a two-year-old, bay in color, and gives pro-
mise of being fully as fleet ol foot as his celebrated brother.
A bay colt, St. Nioholas, four years old, by Sidney, was much
admired, as he has the appearance of being a first-class horse.
St. Nicholas is the sire of many sons and daughters, one of the
latter showing such fine form that she will be taken back
EaBt for the Combination Sale, which will take place in the
Bpring. Another Sidney colt, Memo, was paraded for the
reporter's benefit, and he has no hesitation in saying that
there is no horse of his age on the track that can equal the
beautiful black. He has already shown ajirivate trial of 2:20£,
which is no limit to his Bpeed, and we promise that, bar acci,
dent, he will make a name for himself this season that wil-
add another leaf to the laurel wreath which now adorns Cali-
fornia in the eyes of all horsemen. A very beautiful son o-
Dester Prince was next seen. He is three years old, a uiagf
nificent bay, has very fine action and seems perfect in evory
particular. He is o^ned by Mr. J. A. Dustio, \i '
guarantee that uulesB he was ^better than the aver,
that gentleman would not have him in his string.

Trotters fcc Qttier Lands.

Mncb has been said arid 'printed of late of the decadence
of the trotting interest in America, and all sorts of unfavor-
able comparisons have been drawn between the manner in
which it is regarded in its natural home and in England,
France Germany, Italy and Australia. Of coarse it is one
of ihe great business interests of this continent, so great that
iv ibe amount of capitul invested there is nothing outside of
tbe railroads and the insurance companies that surpass it.
But it has generally been sDoken of as something peculiarly
Americac England, the continent of Europe, and, in fact,
all Europe except Russia, have been accepted as purely and
entirely devoted to tbe runner or the jumper, and the trotter
has been altogether held as an animal despised.

Yet while the sports of the trotting turf have been thus
regulated to the background, except on this continent, the
rest of tbe world has been looking for a new amusement, and
seems to have found it in the contests of the trotters Just
at the time when the people of America seemed to weary of
purely trotting races on the old three heats in rive plan, and
to Have been louking for new phases of sport, there haa oc-
curred a renaissance of the trotting interest everywhere but
in the United States. The effect of this has been felt in the
tracks is Germany, especially where, at an extraordinary race
in tbe suburbs of Berlin, from 12,000 to 15 000 people were
present. To get into the bettiDg ring $2.50 has Deen re-
quired, yet the applicants ior tickets have transcended all
calculatloos in namber. The prices for privileges have been
very high, and on the pools, 8 per cent, have been paid by
the operators to the club. Of course, this has raised prices
in everv way, yet the German Trotting Clnos are in a
condition of over prosperity. The bettiDg is described as
enormous, often amounting to S10.UOO on a single heat.
Purses, too, are of a character bo liberal as to make our
American horsemen, whose eyes have been fixed on Pumpkin
Fair Purses, mourn ignorance of the German language.

France aud England also afford grand fields for the owners
of trotters equal to long distances, but outclassed for the
mile heat, or the three m five affairs. The EoropeaD woods
are full of horses that can show great bursts of trotting speed,
but very few American trotters that are good for two miles
Lave crossed the Atlantic. Probably the best of these are
Amber by Clear Grit, and the famous mare Misty Morning.
This last has been a disappointment, by the way. She had
great speed before she left this country, and was expected to
ueat all European records for a mile. She reached Europe
in fine shape, and she trotted every race resolutely and well,
but she could not go fast and could only win at long dis-
tances. She will undoubtedly, after acclimation, regain her
old time speed, but it is dollars to cents that she misses the
guiding hand of Jimmy Goldsmith. Mollie Wilkes is credited
with the best European record, a mile in 2:20i, but it Is said
that the track was short. She had a great deal of speed be^
fore she was exported, aod on a good American track ought
to have beaten 2:20, but when the European records of other
good ones are considered, 2:29i is a very great performance.
Phyllis, who was good for 2:15 on this side of the Atlantic,
never approached that time in Europe.

Colonel Wood is now in Germany, and owned by James
M-?F- ' -^* last season by Prince Smith, a well
ihe knowledge of his pur-
chase caused a general sensation in ' ?a on the conti-
nent, for he was considered the superior; to ul.j . . ♦■*■»«
European trotting stables. Berlin, Frankfort and Vibafi
were all in a flutter over his arrival, bnt at the last moment
came the news of his death on shipboard. It was credited
generally abroad though American horsemen, who had
heard many similar and baseless rumors about other trotters,
accepted tbe statement with a large grain of salt. Still, there
was enough probability to it to occasion some uneasiness
among those that had horses liable to meet the redoubtable
Colonel. Bus Colonel Wood did not appear in Germany for
a long while, and after a time the trotting men of Berlin ac-
cepted his death as a fact. It appears that a big bay gelding
known as Big Soap, and probably tbe well known cam-
paigner, by Honesty, dam by Uncas, record 2:23, had been
entered in an important stake race in England, and had act-
ually died. Big Soap was like Colonel Wood in color and
size, and had, like him, a doubtful gait behind, that was a
cross between a trot and a run. There was enough resem-
blance between bim and Colonel Wood to make a substitution
possible, and the relations between Germany and England
being somewhat strained, it seemed the proper thing to sub-
stitute the live horse for tbo dead one. Colonel Wood landed
quietly on British soil. He was kept under cover, but had
quiet work enough to get him into condition. Due arrange-
ments were made with the driver of Big Soap, and when
the day of the race arrived everything seemed all right.

Mr. 's Big Soap appeared on the track, but at the last

moment the driver refused to get up behind him. Prince
Smith rushed to the recalcitrant drixer at once to know what
was the matter. "Mattel," said he, "I wouldn't drive that
man's horse for a thousand pounds." '"That's all right," re-
plied Mr. Smith, "Mr. don't own a hair in him, he is my

horse, and I want you to drive for me. I have bought his
entry." Reassured, the driver got up behind Colonel Wood
and drove him to win. At the Btart the big scion of the
champions was not mentioned in tbe betting and very long
odds were obtained against him. He won the race, however,
in straight heats, and his backers took away, it is said, $100,-
000. A prompt removal to the continent was necessary, of
course, for English penal laws reach such cases, but the win-
nings remains with the winners.

Experienced American horseman that have tested them say
that the Russian trotters, taken on their own track or at
Berlin or Vienna, cannot at all brush with the American
horses, but they credit the Orloffs with wonderful ecdurance
and say they are always dangerous in any race over two
miles.

The European traoks are described as very unequal in
quality. That at Berlin is called the bbst. It is very smooth
aod of excellent qaality, but too narrow for a good trotting
field. It is in shape quite like the Island Park track at
Albany— an extremely flattened tlipse. The buildings, stands
aud stable are very elegant, and tbe accommodations, in
general, are thorougly up to the best in America.

In France every convenience and comfort is afforded to the
visitor to the track, but the tracks themselves are wretched.
There has beeo no attempt to give them the proper wbape or
B" rfm e, and they an.' no better than sections of a rough, up
r.ud down hill road, with grand stands adjacent. Really fast
rlroe is impossible, and no driver of tauy experience would
cntnre over them at high speed.

The Vienna track is smooth, level and well shaped, aud

, ,iH be thoroughly first class, except for its extreme hard-

<:88, which makes it very severe on the horses. Properly

1 with loam, watered and rolled, very fast time could

njade over it.

In Australia, the two preat racing points nre Sidney and
Melbourne. The t lacks are admiral le and the interest in til

branches of turf sport is such as to bring out large crowds,
and induce the liveliest betting on every trotting race. It is
doubtful if there is any place on the globe where an American
horseman, with a few good trotters, can find a better held for
money making than Australia. But he must take thoroughly
good animals; and must understand that American records
are considered there, and that classes are arranged as they
would be at home. Scant mercy is shown to 'ringers and
he who wishes to win in Australia should be sure that he
that he will meet shrewd and well posted horsemen and
good horses. If he has proper tools he can win to his heart s
desire, for the sportsmen of the antipodes will back their
horses to the bitter end, and a fast American trotter can
generally win, in his class, in Australia.

Another point to which trotting men may wisely turn their
eyes is the South American Continent. The trotter is the
favorite there by all odds. He will be bought more promptly
and at higher prices there than in any other quarter of the
globe, and when he goes into a race he will be backed with a
fervor unknown elsewhere, and that would make a North
American poo^seller wild with joy.

In the past century the Russian trotters have developed no
speed of the highest, though they have produced form, style,
beauty and staying quality, with good speed for long dis-
tances Aside from the Orloffs the Americans are the only
trotters of merit in the world, and to them all the great rec-
ords belong. It is natural for the American farmer to breed a
trotter or two, and the overplus of such stock must supply
the great and growing demand for the countries that do not
produce Australia will undoubtedly in time become a great
nursery for this class of animals. South America appreciates
them and will buy them, but will hardly breed them success-
fully owing to the characteristics of the people. England,
like Australia, will breed its own trotters if the market
becomes a good one. Germany, France and Italy are the
fields for American enterprise in this direction, for in those
countries the issue as to relative merit with other producing
countries, can be fairly made and fairly tried.— Sporting
World.

Don't.

The Westchester Course.

The following first-class advice is taken from Dnnton's
Spirit, and should be read by every person intereB.'ed in
horses:

Don't commence vour breeding upon the theory that you
know all about it. If you do yon will end by believing that
you could not have known anything, or you would not have
commenced. . . ;i

Dont imagine that yon are going to revolutionize the
world. After you have ended you will show the effect of
revolutionizing more than the world.

Don't think that you cannot learn from the mistakes of
others The horse has been bred for thousands of years.
Many mistakes have been made in that time. It will cost
yon time and money to learn them all by experience.

Don't imagine that you will show the world how to reap
figs from thistles, or racers from dunghill blood. Ton will
take out just what you put in. The poorer you put in the
poorer you will take out

Don't forget that the universe moves according to laws.
If you don't know something of these laws aB applied to
breeding, don't commence to breed-

Don't imagine that evr ry horse that has a good pedigree is
■ nsa Insist on having a good individual

first and u r, ""*• _ , ,

Don't start out'on the - ry of getting trotters and de-
riving your profits from them. There are many failures to
one trotter and the failures more than counterbalance the
profit on the trotters. So try to breed good horses cf fine
action, shape, size and pedigree, and if they prove to be
trotters so much the better. _ .

Don't imagine that you have the only trotting stock m the
world. If a man offers you a good living profit, be prepared
to sell. Don't marrv yourself to any animal or iiumber ol
them It is better to sell and regret than to keep and regret.
Maud S was sold for less than $300, and her sale undoubt-
edly was the means of enhancing the value of her brothers

Don't imagine that all men are rogues and you alone are
honest. If this is your idea, it is more than probable that
you are the rogue, and thatjou are measuring other people
by your own measure.

Don't try to get a reputation for sharpDess. Few men are
able to distinguish between sharpnesB and roguery. The
sharp horseman is Generally the one without money and
reputation. Don't fear that you will have too much compe-
tition in honesty, whilst yon may make up your mind that
smarter men than you have failed to live by their wits.

Don't wait until yon are hard up for money before you
sell your stock. Set a limit to your operations, and remorse-
lessly cut the number down to that limit every year. Every
hour that you keep an animal beyond the time that he can
be sold for a good profit, is an hour of loss, not only in the
expense of keep, but in the absence of money and the peril
of loss or damage. . a a-

Don't sell your stock without having them in good condi-
tion unless j on have a certain customer. Many a poor ani-
mal has sold well on account of his condition, and many a
uoMe animal has been given away for lack of the Bame.

Don't tniuk there is any money in keeping your brood
mares in poor condition. A brood mare needB far more
vitality than a mare in training, and she will not breed after
foaling if ber vitality is not being kept up until she has had
time to recuperate. '..

Don't forget that every year that your mare faiH to breed,
the cost of the next must be doubled. Keep op the Btrength.
not necessarily to fatness, but by plenty of strengthening
food. .... ,

Don't expect that buyers will know by inspiration tnit you
have stock for sale. Advertising is the first condition of
selling ; the pecond is that you have the goods worth the
money. ,

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don t tie your en-
terprise to one Btrain of trotters or thoronghbrerts. The
fashion in horses is constantly changing. To-day it is the
Wilkes strain that prevails; next year it may be the Elec-
tioneer, and after that some other. Better, like a country
storekeeper, try to have aomething to suit every reasonable
demand.

Don't be a "stud boss" man, and say that your auimals
are the only good ones, nnd everyone else's are bad. Such
a course marks yourB a " ping " and not a thoroughbred, and
i; jnres you more than tbe other fellow.

Don't cease to study your business. Take such papera as
are not meie advertising sheets, but discuss the soience of
breeding. Don't be afraid to contribute your share. Alnost
everyone has something to contribute to the sum total of
human knowledge. In the science of breeding it may be en
-•'■cure ptdigree, an Dwner, or some other desired iuforna«
tion.

The new "Westchester racecourse of the New York Jockey
Club is well described in the Spirit of this week. The track
is located on the line of the New Rochelle Branch of the New
York and New Haven Railroad, and is situated between tbe
Van Nest and West Chester Stations. It comprises 350 acres
of land, one portion of which, formerly the Bradford Farm,
comprised 102 acres, and was purchased in November, 1887*
the second part, known as the Hatfield Farm, of 125 acre?,
and the third, a piece of property known in the neighbour-
hood as the "Deunerlein." The property is bounded on the
north by the Pelham Avenue road, on the west by the Bear
Swamp road, on the south by the railroad, and on the east
by tbe "William's Bridge road to WeBtchester. The course is
an oval in shape of nearly a mile and a half, but all races up
to a mile and a quarter and over will be run with start on the
back stretch, thus making only one turn. It is KOfeet wide
on the back stretch and at the finish, and 100 feet in width at
the point. A straightaway "shnte," or T. Y. C, runs diag-
onally through the track, starting away to the north near the
Williams's Bridge Road, finishing in front of the stand. This
shute iB six furlongs in length and 100 feet in width.

In describing the new course Mr. Haswell, the eminent
engineer, who has made race tracks a special study, estimates
that a horse ruuning outside of one which has the rail runs
some ninety feet more than the one on the inside in a race of
a mile. This is as strong an argument for straightaway tracks
as to put the question beyond the domain of cavil. It means
that on our circular tracks the inside horse has a great advan-
tage. This causes an unseemly scramble to posseBB it, and
the result is horses of great value are often cut down or .shut
out, pocketed, and never have a chance. Besides, there is a
great deal of what is called running a horse out on the turnF,
carrying him wide so as to lose ground. On a straight this
cannot occur. One portion of the track is as good as any
other, and the race Is a straight drive for home from the start.
The long homestretch of nearly a half mile is a new and most
important feature. In our judgment i ' - ^ost import-

ant ever introduced. Many a race is lc " -—«*

getting ''pocketed" in the turns, and c
homestretch is so short they never get
their lost ground. Another thing, raei

the best horse will win. Thefact is, the ^_ _

the more hard racing there wiil be. Horses run latsiw -
courses than on those wheie the stretches are long, simply
begin they do not begin racing so soon. With our short
stretches it is difficult for a long-striding horse to have .fair

The grand stand, a splendid structure, is on a natural ele-
vation, a hill nearly one hundred feet above the le^*" " \he
track, and from which every movement of the hor
plainly seen, both on the oval or the straightaway,
was originally a supeib field, 240 tons of hay havii
from it in one season, and below the "downs" seem to
awav for miles a vast expanse of verdant Bward until it U.
into" the bolder scenery of the woods to the northeast, ana
the men at work seem like specks on the bGrizon to the north.
To the right the huge glass casements of the Catholic Protec-
tory blaze in morning sunlight. Westchester Village, with
its old-fashioned gabled houses and dormer windows of the
reign of the Georges, nestles snugly in the valley to the east
and St. Peter's, which boasts the possession of a communion
service the gift of Queen Anne, raises her glittering spire.
The article mentioned describes tbe grand stand as one of the
finest in the world. It is a Ringle tier, with a great pitch,
and is 650 feet in length and 100 feet deep, capable of seating
12,000 people. The betting ring is underneath the center of
the stand, and is 300 by 150 feet. On either side are the din-
ing rooms, cafes, ladies' cloak rooms, retiring rooms, etc.,
the center stair leading to the stands being 40 feet in width,
and there are eight other entrances. In the rear of the stand
will be the railway station, from which there is an incline
approach to the stand 150 feet in width.

The club house of the new jockey club will be an imposing
affair. It will be located south of the grandstand. The
saddling paddock will not have any equal. To the left of the
grand stand there is a delightful stretch of woods which will
afford a pleasant promenade to the gentlemen and ladies who
seek an outing and the pleasure of a day of racing. The new
track will be ready for racing in the autumn of next year.

Effect of Soil on Horses' Feet.

A correspondent of the Farming World, writing from the
Hawaiian Islands, has the following to say about horses*
feet, which will be read with interest:

I would like to call attention to the advantages of breeding
horses on dry, rocky ground, and to the difference of such
horses' feet from those raised on wet grass. How great thin
difference is I think few people realize, and 1 do not think I
am going too far tn saying that it is eb great as that between
a man who has gone barefoot all his life, and one who has
been used to shoes. Watch a barefooted urchin ruuning
over newly-laid macadam, which a shod horse can only cross
with pain. Here a few miles makes all the difference be-
tween a horse with feet as soft as an English one, and an-
other with feet as bard as a goat's. Along the whole of the
leeward side of Hawaii the country consists of a succession
of lava beds of various ages, and the horses, mules, and don-
keys bred there have wonderfully bard feet, and never re-
quire shoes, but the horses of the wiudward districts require
shoes even on ordinary roads, and can hardly travel the
Koua roads when shod.

I once left Waiohena in Kau with three horses alt newly
shod, rode about thirty miles into Koua, and returned on
the third day; all tbe shoes were worn out or gone, some were
worn clean through at the toe, and the two halves were Bti'l
on the foot; aud yet that same journey is repeatedly made 1 y
unBhod horses. A friend who lecently made a trip roULd
Hawaii, told me that one of the horses in tbe party traveled
the whole distance without shoes, some three hundred miles,
and the other horses had their shoes looked to at every op-
portunity.

Not only is a rock horse hard in his feet, but his legs stand
much longer, and he can do far more work. He is also hy
tar more sure-footed; indeed, they never make a misstep,
whereat* a grass horse never seems to look where he puts his
feet, and stumbles over every rock he meets.

Oo our ranch in Hawuii, which runs trom the top of Kab-
ala Mountain to the sea. the upper laud is bush and wet, the
middle open grass, and the lower rocky, till near the sea it is
a rough and bare lava. A horse that is bred on the upper
land is useless on Ibe lower, and (he same with cattle; when
a southerly wind is blowing the wild scrub cattle come out
of the bush, and if we can get between them and it, and start
them down hill, as aoon as they get into the rocks they are
helpless, and can be lassced without much trouble; while the

1889

•£ke JjfrjeetUr awtt jlpurismatt.

tame cattle bred on the rocky ground can get clean away from
any but a rock horse.

My brother, who manages the ranch, generally rides a
little dun or ''pnkea" poney on the lower lands; I do not
know how old he is, but the old men say he was the best
horse on the ranch fifteen years ago, and he is about the best
now.

If the first years of a colt's life are spent on the rocks, his
feet will always be hard, and I do not think that a horse
bred on graBS would ever get hard feet, however long he was
kepi on rocks, though it certainly impr ives their feet. The
difference seems to be more in the sole than in the shell, and
a rock horse's feet are generally smaller, and his bone bigger.

I have a little mare, bred on a goat run in Koua, whose
age I can not find out; she was old when I bought her ten
years ago, but she ran in a half mile race bere last year, and
ran well, too, and over rough ground few horses can catch
her; all her feet require is cutting down with a rasp, and
her grandson is the same; he is a buggy horse in Honolulu,
and the smiths say they never saw a horse's feet gvow so fast.

Other things being equal, I would certainly pay fifty per
cent, more for a rock horse than a grass horse, not only
because they are far safer to ride, hut because they can do
more in a day, and last many years longer.

What Kentucky Horsemen Think of the Turf
Congress Legislation.

A letter from LexingtoD, Ky., to the St. Louis Republican
says: The rules adopted by the Turf Congress at its meetihg
in Cincinnati do not give satisfaction to horsemen here.
They object to the- rule excluding geldings from the weight
allowance and the rule as to secret bidciDg on winners in
selling races. In the case of geldings, they say that owners
have not had sufficient notice, and that the rule ought to
have been framed so as to apply only to geldings after a cer-
tain date, say January 1st. If an owner gelded any of his
oolts after that date he would do it with knowledge of the
consequence. - But relying upon the allowance to geldings, a
number of owners like, for instance, Mr. Green Morris, have
gelded certain of their colts, and, under the n6W rule, they
will be disappointed.

As to the rule regarding selling races, there is great dis-
satisfaction. It is regarded as a death-blow to that feature
of racing. Mr. Hardy Durham thinks that it will result in
excluding from selling races all good horses, and only
those will be entered whoso owners are willing to let them go
for the amount of the purse. The rule reads: "In all selling
races t&e winner shall be sold by secret sealed bids, to be
deposited in a place designated by the association within 15
minu'^P after the close of the race. The sealed bids are only
»n u (jened by the presiding judge, and the surplus is to be
itd between the second horse and the association." Mr.

.fton Young severely criticised this, declaring it was an
encourugement of connivance and trickery. The idea that
an owner could not know what was bid upon his horse, so
that he might save his entry, if he desired, was proposterous.
Several gentlemen largely interested in racing as owners or
trainers were present when Mr. Durham and Mr. Young were
criticising the new rules, and heartily agieed with them.

Trotters and Pacers.

For many years past the question as to whether the trot
ting or the pacing gait is the faster has more or less occupied
the attention of horsemen whose dispositions are speculative.
Now that the pacer has become so well a recognized element
on the turf and that liberal purses and frequent classes are
offered at the irnporlaut meetings to call for his best efforts,
it may be interesting to present a few comparative statistics
Rhowing his highest speed and that of the trotters under
like conditions.

First we find, for one mile in harness, Johnston, pacer,
2.06] — the best mile ever trotted or paced to rule, and against
this is the mile trotted by Maud S, in harness in 2.08£. No
pacer besides Johnston, has a record better than 2.1 If, while
Jay-Eye-See and St. Julien, trotters have, respectively, re-
cords of 2.10 and 2.11J. So that taking 2.12 as the figure for
extreme speed, the trotters are ahead of the pacers.

In the compariaon by age the pacers have generally the
best of it. I do not know of any record of a yearling pacer
to compare with that of the trotting blly, Norlaine, whose
mile in 2.13^ was the best by far for the age. The two-year-
old performance of Sunol, 2.18, is also decidedly the best for
her age and scores another p lint for the trotters the best
performance at that age for the pacers being 2.20J, by Ed-
Eosewater.

The best trotting mile for three-year olds is 2.18, credited
to Sable Wilkes, but at this age the pacers take the lead
strongly, Yolo Maid 2:14, Adonis 2:14£ and Gold Leaf 2:15 ,
place the three-year-old trotters three seconds in the rear.

As four-year-olds, the pacers Arrow 2.14, and Bessemer,
2.15, beat the fastest trotter, Manzanita, 2.16. It is to be
noted also that Arrow's is the best mark for the age. Besse-
mer's is the best stallion record for four-year-old pacers.

Among the five-year-olds, Arrow who paced in 2:13J, this
year leads the list. He is closely followed by the pacing
stallion Koy Wilkes, 2. 14i, while the great young trotter,
Phtron, at the same age, haa a record of 2.14^.

Bejond this age it is neither interesting nor profitable to
carry the comparison, for after five years the trotter or the
pacer is fully matured and able to work out his own Balvation
without consideration of age.

Thus it appears that for yearlings there is no comparison.
At two years the trotters can show 2 18 against 2. 20 J by the
pacers. At three years, three pacers have records from 2.14
to 2.15, while no trotter has beaten 2.18. At four years the
pacers show 2.14, while the trotter can only claim 2.16, and
at five years the side wheelers have a champion with a record
of 2.13J, agaiDst 2.14| for the trotters. Keally it seems that
the pacing gait is naturally the faster. Of course there are
ten times as many trotteis trained and driven for all there is
in them than there are pacers, and from the great dispropor-
tion in number there should result more phenomenal per-
formers and greater numbers of animals endowed with the
highest speed. Therefore the top record tor all ages should
beloug to a tiotter, but the fact remains that Johnston's mile
in harness, in 2.06^, is 2i seconds faster than the best per-
formance of Maud S, the fleetest of all trotters.

Perhaps a recognition of these stubborn statistical facts
may asBist breeders in the solution of the ever present prob-
lem, "How to breed a world beater." For many years
thoroughbred crosses were considered distinctly bad, but to-
day the iiresifetiUe logic of facte has changed tbat notion,
and there is now a strong disposition for thoroughbred
crosses close up. In looking over the blood lines of the
greatest performers of late, however, the pacing element
crops out bo strongly that it cannot judiciously be ignored,
and the facts presented above certainly indicate that it is
more likely to supply the highest speed than is any other
souice. — The Spvrtmy World.

Eastern Entries.

Questions are frequently Bent in to this office asking if that
horse or this horse is entered in some particular Btake in the
East. For the benefit of those interested we herewith give a
full list of all entries from this coast in the principal western
spring events. It will be seen that there are many new can.
didates for racing honors, at least a half dozen of the stables
being new to the Eastern tracks. Quite a number of the
horses have earned brackets already, and it will be a surprise
if they do not give good accounts of themselves when taken
to compete against the Eastern cracks.

COBRESPOKDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In your valuable paper
of (he 29tb inst. I see the Napa Fair Association have set
their time for tbat coming fair for August 5th. At our last
meeting we set our time for the 2nd of September, this will
make a good circuit, viz.;

Napa, August 5th to 10th.

Santa Bosa, Angust 12th to 17tb.

Petalnma, August 19th lo 24th.

Oakland, August 26th to 31st.

San Jose, September 2nd to 7th.

Abbotsford credit for the record of 2:27 of Waterford, gained
at Fresno September28, 188S. He appears in the 2:30 list for
1888, but no sire isgiven for him. He was raised at the Cook

Editor Beeeder and Sportsman:— Just noticed in yonr
issue of Dec. 29 the following:

"Subscriber, Please give the pedigree of Nutwood Boy.
Answer—Write to Harry Seig of San Luis Obispo."

Now as I bred Nutwood Boy and Belmont Boy (the pacer)
the same year, and claimed their names through the Breeder
and Sportsman, and being also quite well acquainted with
the principal attaches of tbe Breeder and Sportsman office,
I am surprised that you should refer any one seeking the
pedigree of Nutwood Boy to Harry Seig or any one else but
the underaigued.

Nutwood Boy, chestnut stallioD, 15 3* hands high, large
star in forehead, both bind feet and aukleswhit", foaled Mav

Los Angeles Racing- -

This account of the New Tear's Day racing at Los Angeles
is taken from the Tribune of that city:

First race — Iutroduction. Handicap, seven-eights of a
mile. E. J. Baldwin's b. m. Grisette, 5, by Glenelg; Malta,
112 pounds, L. Brown first, D. Dennison's ch. m. Blue Bon-
net 5, by Joe Hooker; Kate Carson, ICO pounds, (G. West)
second; JosepbD. Duun'sch. c. Four Aces, by Hockhocking,
Maid of the Mist, 95 pounds; Stuart third. Time 1:33.

Pools sold: Giissette, $25; Blue Bonnet, $8; Four Acts,
$7. A capital start was effected after one break away, Bine
Bonnet rushing off with the lead. At the three-quarter pole
Four Aces was two lengths in the rear, with Blue Bonnet and
Grisette neck and neck. Tbe rider on Grisette now made
his effort, and coming away at e\ery stride, won handily in
1:33.

Second race, oDe-half mile heats — E. J. Baldwin's b. m.
Estrella, 6, by Rutherford, Sister Anne (G. West); Guess &
Parker's br. g. Dick G., by Harwood, Time, .50 J, .54.

Pools sold— Estrella $25, Dick G. $4.

First heat — Dick G. went vS at a tremendous gait, and led
several lengths, entering the straight, but Estrella came up
with a big rush, and won "hands down."

Second heat — Dick G. got a wretched send off, and was
never in the race, Estrella winning by a dozen lengths.

Third race, two and one-four thB miles, handicap — Dan
Dennison's b g Dave Dougtass, aged, by Leineter, Lilly
Simpson, 119 {pounds (D. Ddnnison, Jr.); brat.

RrE. Den's b s Consuelo, 6, by Grinstead — Nita R., 106;
second.

George L. Waring's br g T lephone, aged, by Wildidle, 112
pounds (B. 3tewart); third. Time 4:18}.

Pools sold — Dave Douglass $20, Telephone $6, Consenlo
$4.

Telephone was rushed to the front at the fall of the flag,
and set a lively pace. Consuelo and Dave Doaglass raced
locked around the back stretch, and Telephone soon fell back
beaten. Consuelo kept up with Douglass on sufferance only,
and the Sacramento horse won in a canter.

The track was a trifle heavy.

Races at Bay District.

Officers of the day: — Judges, Messrs. Hearst, Armstrong,
and Lovegrove; Timers, Messrs. fiickok and Appleby;
Starter, Lee Sbaner; Clerk of the Course, Harry Lowden.

Although New Tear's day was typical of a Californian
winter, yet a very small attendance WdS present to enjoy the
four races announced on the card, counter attractions doubt-
less drawing many away who would have patronized the track.

The Judges selected for the day's sport were Senator George
Hearst, Hon. Noah Armstrong of the Memphis Jockey Club,
and George Lovegrove, Esq., of Alameda. The three gentle-
men formed a combination that is rarely seen on a California
race course, and early in the day stamped themselves as
te/rors to evil doers, and their decision in the third race was
bo fair that even those who lost money could not grumble.
The book makers were notable by their absence, the empty
bo::es being finally utilized as a means of witnessing the race
by those who did not care to go up into the grand stand.
Mr. Hinchman says that in future he will run the track with-
out any assistance from tbe pencillers, still there wilt te
plenty of opportunity for those who desire to back their
favorites, through the medium of auctions or Paris mutuels.

Talking about the matter to a well known horseman, be
said to a Breeder and Sportsman representative thet the
majority of the stable owners are in favor oi running for
smaller purses, as then the public would patronize the turf
more extensively, and in the end there would be more money
for all concerned. The book makers, on their part, claim
that they want nothing to do with the local races, as there is
more money for them in concentrating all their efforts on
Eastern events, and are perfectly satisfied to let the local
courses severely alone.

One very bad feature of the arrangements was the pro-
grammes, the entries being placed wrong; the colors were
incorrect, and in two instances were totally different from
those announced on the card. The price charged is high
enough to warrant extra care bei taken with them, and dis-
satisfaction was expressed on all Bides at the blunders dis-
played thereon.

The first race had Beven entries, but only half a dozen
faced the starter, Bogus being withdrawn. Al Farrow
was a strong favorite amoDg the backers, still Gladstone bad
many admirers who felt confident he could win. The delay
at the post was prolonged by the fractionsness of Al Farrow
and Nabeau, who behaved very badly; when the word was
given Minnie R was at least two lengths in front, while
Minnie B was fully ten lengths behind tbe pack. As they
passed on toward the turn Al Farrow moved up and before
Ine field had turned into the stretch he had passed the leader
and was being held well in band. From here out he won as
he pleased with plenty to spare, Minnie R. second and Glad-
stone third. When the riders came back to dismount Hen-
nessey was called into the judgee' stand and severely crosB-
questioned about his riding of Gladstone. The lad evidently
failed to convince the judges of his innocence, as they ruled
him off for thirty days.

The second race was a mile and a sixteenth, and had live
starters. Index was scratched and Nerva substituted by tbe
Elmwood Stable, while Kildare was drawn and Oro started
instead. In this race Jack Brady was a pronounced favor-
ite, the balance being thought little of. A great surprise was
in store however, as Welcome won by a steal, Cooper, the
jockey, caught Haslitt napping when the latter bad the race
won. As the flag fell Oro showed in front lirst closely fol-
lowed by Brady, Jou Jou, and Welcome bringing up tbe
rear. In the back stretch Brady took the lead, Juu Jou press-
ing Oro for second place, the latter soon quitting, the heavy
going not being to bis fancy. In the turn Brady and Jou
Jon made a determined fight, but the Monday colt was cot
iu condition to last with the son of Wildidle. Haslitt brought
Brady leisurely down the stretch after looking over his
shoulder and seeing his field well strung out. but We'come
had a little in reserve and Cooper brought the blown mare
with a ruph. aud beat out Brady by a head, although Haslitt
tried hard to have his mount win.

The third race, a mile and an eighth handicap, had five
entries on the card, only four starting, Daisy D. being with-
drawn. Laura Gardner was thought a sure thing for this
event, but owing to a foul she lost the race. As the flag fell
Coloma jumped off in the lead as usual, Eoaa Lewis being a
fair second, with Gardner and Nabeau well up. Tbe relative
positions were maintained to the head of the stretch, when
all hands began punishing. As they rovuided the mare Rosa
Lewis fouled Laura Gardner, throwing the latter out of her
stride, and although Haslitt did his utmost be could not
catch the leaders. As the borses passed under the wire Rosa
Lewis was a head to the good, Coloma second, only a head in
advance of Gardner. On dismounting Haslitt made a claim
of foul against the rider of Rosa Lewis. After deliberation
the judges made the allowance and disqualified Rosa Lewis,
giving Coloma the race and placing Gardner second, Nabeau
third.

The fourth and last race of tbe day was a hollow victory
for Naicho B. It was a five-eighths dash for two-yflar-olds,
and had only three starters. As the flag fell Naicho took a
a commanding lead, Jack Pot second and Arthur H. last.
From start to finish the horses kept the same position, Nai-
cho B. winning by several lengths.

SECOND DAY.

Officers of the day: Judges, Messrs. Tarpey, Lovegrove and
Waugb; timers, Dick Havey and J. Brown; starter, T. H.
Griffin, clerk of the course, H. Lowden.

Not more than two hundred and fitly persons assembled at
the track on Thursday afterncon, the cold, raw disagreeable
weather proving too severe for maoy who would have liked
to witness the sport. Again the bookmakers stands were
vacant, the differences between them and Mr. Hinchman still
being unsettled. Lively betting was indulged in, tbe auction
pools being in active demand, while those who had not an
abnndance of the filthy lucre placed their "merry little fiveR1'
in the mutnals. A peculiar phase in the betting was the
regularity with which the favorites would change. Mr. Kil-
lip, when he sold the first choice, found the fuv
Farrow. After selling a few pools Sleepy Dick .
to the front as first choice, while in a few minutes l.
Held was thought good enough to win by the party havi.
first selection.

By this time Al Farrow'was third and last in the betting,
a small party of Santa Rosa folks scooping all the short end
tickets. Although the time advertised for the Hrst race was
set at two o'clock it was almost three before the horses faced
the starter. After the usual few breakaways the rl>)g fell to a
good start, Barney G. having slightly the worst of it. Sleepy
Dick was the first to show in front, closely followed by
Gladstone, Al Farrow third and Bnmey G. bringing up the
rear. These positions were kept until the turn into the
homestretch, when Hazlitt on Farrow brought his mount on
with a rush and collared the leader just before reaching the
draw-gate. At this point Cook who was riding Sleepy Dick
was noticed to pull his horse, evidently not trying to win.
As they passed nnder the wire Farrow was first by two
lengths, Sleepy Dick second, Bnd Gladstone well up for third
place. As the riders came back to dismount Mr. Tarpey an-
nounced that the judges were convinced that Sleepy Dick
was not ridden to win and or lered the r. ce to be inn over
selecting Hitchcock to take Cook's place on the Chestni t
gelding.

After a few minutes intermission the horses again went to
the post where some time was wasted by the bad antics of
Farrow. When the word was given Barney G. was away be-
hind, the others getting off well together. Sleepy Dick as
before soon got the lead and retained it to tbe drawgate, when
Farrow aaain made his running and beat out the geldiug as
before, Gladstone once more third. The owner of Sleepy
Dick Bent word to the stand before this heat that Hitchcock
must not carry a whip as his horse would not stand whipping.
The JudgeB ordered, however, that the rider should have one,
and although it was plied liberally to Dick at the wind up,
he could not win.

Horses of the Plains.

It is not often that in a magazine devoted to topics of gen-
eral Literature and History there appears an article which iB
desirable for the colamns of a class-journal like onr own.
But Mr. Frederick "Remington's very admirable article in the
current number of the Century is of so much interest to onr
readers that we lay it before them. It is to be regretted that
the author's lifelike illustrations cannot aJso^be reproduced^
Mr. Remington has indicated not only with a ready pen bat
with a graphic pencil the characteristic features of the "na-
tive" horses so familiarly kDown to all who have travelled
much or resided long on this coast.

To men of all ages the horse of northern Africa has been
the standard of worth and beauty and speed. It was bred
for the purpose of war and reared under the most favorable
climatic conditions, and its descendants have infused their
blood into all the strains which in our day are regarded as
valuable. The Moors stocked Spain with this horse, and the
so-called Spanish horse is more Moorish than otherwise. It
is fair to presume that the lightly armored cavaliers of the
sixteenth century, or during the Spanish conquests in Amer-
ica, rode this auimal, which had been so long domesticated
in Spain, in preference to the inferioi noithern horses. To
this day the pony of western America shows many points of
the Barbary horse to the exclusion of all other breeding. His
head has the same facial line; and that is a prime point in
deciding ancestry in horses. Observe, for instance, the great
dissimilarity in profile displayed by old plates of the Godolphin
Arab an and the D irley Arabian, two famous sires, kings of
their races, the one a Barb and the other an Arabian.

In contemplating the development of the horse, or rather
his gradual adjustment to bis environment, no period more
commends itself than that of the time from the Spanish
invasion of Mexico to the present day. The lapse of nearly
four centuries and the great variety of dissimilar conditions
have so changed the American "bronco" from his Spanish
ancestor that he now enjoys a distinctive individuality. This
individuality is also subdivided; and as all types come from
a common ancestry, the reason for this varied development
are sought with interest, though I fear not always with
accuracy. Cortes left Cuba on his famous expedition with
"sixteen horses," which were procured from the plantations
of that island at great expense.

As a matter of course these horses did not contribute to
the stocking of the conquered country, for they all laid down
their lives to make another page of military history in the
annals of the Barbary horse. Subsequent importations must
have replenished the race. Possibly the dangers and expense
attendant on importation did not bring a very high grade of
horses from Spain, though I am quite sure that no sane don
woald have preferred a coarse-jointed great Flemish weight-
carrier for use on the hot sands of Mexico, to a light and sup-
ple Barb, which wonld recognize in the sand and heat of his
new world home an exact counterpart of his African hills.
As the Spaniards worked north in their explorations, they
lost horses by the adverse fortunes of war and by their
straying or capture by Indians. At a very early date the
wild horse was encountered on the plains of Mexico, but a
long time elapsed before the horse was found in the north.
La Belle found the Comanches with Spanish g jo 's and also
horses in their possession, but on his journey to Canada it
was with great difficulty that he procured horses from the
Indians farther north. In 16S0, or contemporaneously with
La Salle's experience in the south, Father Hennepin lived
with the Sioux, and marched and hunted the buffalo on foot.
At a much later day a traveler heard the Comanohes boast
that they "remembered when the Arapahoes to the north
used dogs as beasts of burden." That horses were lost by
the Spaniards and ran in a wild Btate over the high, dry
plains of Mexico and Texas at an early day is certain; and as
the conditions of life were favorable, they must have increased
rapidly. How many years elapsed before the northern
Indians procured these animal.-, with which they are so
thoroughly identified, is not easily ascertainable. Cheyenne
Indians who were well versed in that tribal legend which is
rehearsed by the lodge fire in the long winter nights have told
me gravel; that they always have had horses. I suspect
that this assertion has its foundation in the vanity of their
cavalier souls, for the Cheyenne legend rans very smoothly,
and has paleface corroboration back to a period when we
know that they could not have had horses.

Only on the plains has the horse reached his most typical
American development. The range afforded good grass and
they bred indiscriminately, both in the wild state and in the
hands of the Indians, who never used any discretion in the
matter of coupling the best specimens, as did the Indians of
the mountains, because of the constant danger of their being
lost or stolen, thus making it unprofitable. Wild stallions
continually herded off the droves of the Indians of the south-
ern plains, thus thwarting any endeavor to improve the
stock by breeding. It is often a question whether the
"pinto" or painted pony of Texas, is the result of a pinto
ancestry, or of a general coupling ot horses of all colors.
The latter, I think, is- the case, for the Barb was a one-color
horse, and the modern horss-breeder in his science finds no
difficulty in producing that color which he deems the best.
Tho Comanches, Wichitas, and Kiowas hold that stallion in
high esteem which is most bedecked and flared by blotches
of white hair on the normal color of his hide. The so-called
Spanish horse of northern Mexico is less apt to show this
tendency towards a parti-colored coat, and his size, bone, and
general development stamp him as the best among his Kind,
all of which qualities are the resnlt of some consideration on
the part of man with a view to improve the stock. The Mex-
icans on their Indian-infested frontier kept their horses close
herded; for they lived where they had located their ranches,
desired good horses, and took pains to produce them. The
sires were well selected, and the growing animals were not
subjected to the fearful setbacks attendant on passing a win-
ter on the cold plains, which is one of the reasons why all
wild horses are stunted in size. Therefore we must look to
the Spanish horse of northern Mexico for the nearest type to
the progenitors of the American bronco. The good represen-
tatives of this division are abont fourteen and a half bands in
Btatue; of large bone, with a slight tendency to roughness;
generally bay in color; flat ribbed and of great muscular
development; and, like all the rest, have the Barbary head,
with the slightly .oval face and fine mizzle.

Nearly identical with this beast is the mustang of the
Pacific Coast — a misnomer, by the bye, which for a genera-
tion has been universally applied by fanciful people to Any
horse bearing a brand. This particular race of horses, leared
under slightly less advantageous circumstances than the
Spanish horse of <ld Mexico, was famouB in early days; but
tbey are now so mixed with American stock as to lose the
identity which in the days of the Argonauts was their pride.

The most inexperienced horseman will not have to walk
around the animal twice in order to tell a Texas pony; that

is, one which is full bred, with no admixture. He has fine
deer-like legs, a very long body, with a pronounced roach
just forward of the coupling, and possibly a "glass eye" and
a pinto hide. Any old cowboy will point him out as the
only creature suitable for his purposes. Hard to break,
because he has any amount of latent devil in his disposition,
he does rot break his legs or fall over backwards in the
"pitching" process as doeB the "cay use" of the north- weBt.
I think he is small and shriveled up like a Mexican because
of his dry, hot habitat, over which he has to walk many miles
to get his dinner. But, in compensation, he can cover
leagues of bis native plains, bearing a seemingly dispropor-
tionately large man, with an ease both to himself and to his
rider which is little short of miraculous. I tried on one
occasion to regenerate a fine specimen of the southern plains
sort, and to make a pretty little cob of the wild, scared bundle
of nerves and bones which I had picked out of a herd. I
roached his mane and docked his tail, and put him in a warm
stall with half a foot of straw underreath. I meted out a
ration of corn and hay which was enough for a twelve-hun-
dred work-horse in the neighboring stall. I had him combed
and brushed and wiped by a good-natured man, who regarded
the proceeding with as much awe as did the pony. After the
animal found out that the corn was meant to be eaten, he
always ate it; but after many days he waB led out, and, to my
utter despair, he stood there the same shy, perverse brute
which he always had been. His paunch was distended to
frightful proportions, but his cat hams, ewe neck, and thin
little shoulders were as dry and hard as ever. Mentally he
never seemed to make any discrimination between his newly
found masters and the big timber wolves that used to sur-
round him and keep him standing a'l night in a bunch of
fellows. On the whole it was laughaHe, forin his perversity
he resisted the regenerating process much as any other wild
beast might. For all that, these animals are "all sorts of a
horse" in their own particular field of usefulness, though they
lack the power of the Spanish horse. Once in Arizona I rode
one of the latter animals, belonging to Chief Ascension Rios
ot the Papagoes, at a very rapid gallop for twenty-four miles,
during the middle of the day, through the desert sand. The
thermometer stood as high as you please in the shade, and
the hot sun on the white sand made the heat something
frightful; and personally I am not noted for any of the
physical characteristics which distinguish a fairy. At the
end of the journey I was confirmed in the suapicion that he
was a most magnificent piece of horse-flesh for a ride like
that, and I never expect to see another horse which can make
the trip and take it so lightly to heart. He stood there like a
rock, and was as good as at starting, having Bweat only a
normal amount. The best test of a horse is not what he can
do, but how easily he can do it Some of the be-t specimens
of the horse and rider which I ever had occasion to admire
were Mexican vaqueros, and I have often thought the horses
were more worthy than the men.

The golden age of the bronco was ended some twenty
years ago when the great tidal wave of Saxouicm reached his
grasBy plains. Hewasrout-ded up and brovg t under the
yoke by the thousand, and his glories departed. Here and
there a small band fled before man, but their freedom was
hopelesB. The act of subjngation was more implied than
real, and to this day, as the cowboy goes out and drives up a
herd of broncos to the corral, there is little difference 1 etween
the wild horse of old and bis enslaved progeny. Of course
the wild stallion is always eliminated, and he alone was
responsible for the awe which a wild horse inspired. As I
have before remarked, the home of the Simon-pure wild horse
is on the southern plains, and when he appears elsewhere he
has been transported there by man and found his freedom
later on. I have found food for reflection in tracing the
causes of the varied development of these broncos under
different conditions. A great many of the s lecnlalions in
which I indulge may be faulty, as they dtal with a subject
not widely investigated by any more learned savants than
one is apt to find about the fires of the cow camps in the far
West. One must not forget, also, that the difficulty increases
as years pass, because the horBes are driven about from one
section to another, and thus crossed with th^ t took of the
country until in a very tew years they became a homogen-
ous tpye. The solutions to these problems must always be
personal views, and in no sense final. One thing is certain:
of all the monuments which the Spaniards has left to glorify
his reign in America there will be none more worthy than
his horse. The proposition I have heard combated, however
by a person who has just been "bucked" violently from the
back of a descendant of the Barbs. He insisted that the
Spaniards had left little to glorify their reign in America,
least of all their miserable, scrubby poniee. Nevertheless, the
Spaniard's horses maybe fjund to-day in countless thou-
sands, from the city of the Montezumas to the regions of
perpetual snow; they are grafted into onr equine wealth and
make an important impression on the horse of the country.

There- iB a horse in the Indian Territory, Arkansas and
Missouri, called the Cherokee pony, which is a peculiar
animal. Ot low stature, he is generally pie-bald, with a
great profusion of mane and tail. He is close set, with head
and legs not at all of the b'onci type, and I know that his
derivation is from the East, though some insist en classing
him with our Western ponies: but he is a handsome little
beast, easily adaps himself to surroundings, and is in much
favor in the Eastern markets aB a saddle pony for boys and
for ladies* carts.

The most favorable place to study the pony is in an Indian
camp, as the Indians rarely defeat the ends of nature in the
matter of natural selection; and further, the ponies are al-
lowed to eat the very greenest grass they can find in the sum-
mer time, and to chew on a cotton-wood Baw-log during the
winter, wuh perfect indifference on the part of their owners.
The pony is thus a reflex of nature, end, coupled with his
surroundings, is of quite as much interest as the stretch of
prairie grass, the white lodges, and the blanketed forms. The
savage red man in his gre:it conteBt with nature has learned,
not to combat nature, but to observe her moods and to pre-
pare a simple means of escape. He puts up no fodder for the
winter, but relies on the bark of the cotton-wood. Often he
is driven to dire extremity to bring his s'ock through the
winter. I have been told that in the Canadian North-west
the Blackfeet have bought grain for their ponies during a bad
spell of weather, which act implies marvelous self-denial, as
the coBt of a bushel of oats would bring financial ruin on any
of the tribe. Before the early grass starts in the spring the
emanciated appearance of one of these little ponies in the far
North-west will sorely try the feelings of an equine philan-
thropist should he look along the humpy ribs and withered
quarters. But alack! when the young grass does shoot, the
pony scours the trash which composes his winter diet, shedfl
his matted hair, and shineB forth anothtr horBe. Inamon'h
"Richard's himself again," ready to fly over the grassy sw. rd
with his savage master or to drag the travaux and pack the
buxom Bquaw. Yet do not think that at this time the Indian
pony is the bounding steed of romance; do Dot be deluded
into expecting the arched neok, the graceful lines, and the

magnificent limbs of the English hunter, for, alas! they are
not here. They have existed only on paper. He may be all
that the wildest enthusiast may claim in point of hardihood
and power, as indeed he is, but he is not beautiful. His
head and neck join like the two parts of a hammer, his legs
are as fine as a deer's, though not with a flat knee-cap and
broad cannon-bone of the English ideal. His barrel is a ver-
itable tun, made bo by the bushels of grass which hb con-
sumes in order to satisfy nature. His quarters are apt to run
suddenly back from the hips, and the rear view is decidedly
mulish about the hocks. The mane and the tail are apt to
be light, and I find that the currycomb of the groom has a
good deal to do in deciding on which side of the horse's neck
the mane shall fall; for on an Indian pony it is apt to drop
on the right and the left, orVtand up in the middle in perfeot
indecision. The Indian never devotes any Btable work to
his mount, although at times the pony is bedecked in savage
splendor. Once I saw the equipment of a Blackfoot war
pony, composed of a mask and bonnet, gorgeous with red
flannel, brass headed tacks, silver plates, and feathers, which
was art in its way.

As we go very far into the Canadian Northwest we find
that the interminable cold of the winters has had its effect,
and the pony is small and scraggy, with a disposition to run
to hair that would be the envy of a goat. These little fellows
seem to be sadly out of their reckoning, aB the great northern
wastes were Burelynot made for hoisee; however, the reverse
of the proposition is true, for the horseB thrive after a fashion
and demonstrate the toughness of their race. Unless he be
tied up to a post, no one ever knew an Indian pony to die of
the cold. With his front feet he will paw away the snow to
an astonishing depth in order to get at the dry herbage, and
and by hook or by crook he will manage to come through the
winter, despite the wildest prophecies on the part of the un-
initiated that he cannot live ten days in such a storm. The
pony often finds to his Borrow that he ie useful for other
purposes than as a beast of burden, for his wild masters of
the Rocky Mountains think him excellent eating. To the
Shoshones the particular use of a horse was for the steaks
and stews that were in him; but the Indian of the plains had
the buffalo, and could afford, except in extreme cases, to let
his means of transportation live. The Apaches were never
■'horse Indians," and always readily abandoned their stock
to follow the mountains on foot. In early times their stock-
stealing raids into Mexico were simply foraging expeditions,
as they ate horses, mules, cattle and sheep alike. In the
grassy valleys of the northern Rocky Mountains, walled in as
they are by the mountain ranges, horse-breeding was pro-
ductive of good, and was followed. Thus the '•cayuse" a
tine strain of pony stock, took its name from a tribe, though
it became disseminated over all that country. As it was
nearly impossible for the Indians to steal each other's horses
on every occasion, the people were encouraged to perpetuate
the good qualities of their favorite mounts.

The cayuse is generally roan in color, with always a ten-
dency this way, no matter how slight. He is strongly built,
heavily muscled, and the only bronco which possesses square
quarters. In height he is about fourteen hands; and while
not possessed of the activity of the Texas horse, he has much
more power. This native stock was a Fplendid foundation
for the horse-breeders of Montana and the North-west to
work on, and the Montana horse of commerce rates very
high. This condition is not, however, all to the credit of the
cayuse, but to a strain of horses early imported into Montana
from the West and known as the Oregon horse, which breed
had its foundation in the mustang.

In summing up for the bronco I willsay that he is destined
to become a distinguished element in the future horse of the
continent, if for no other reason except that of bis numbers.
All over the West he is bred into the stock of the country,
and of course always from the Bide of the dam. The first one
or two crosses from this stock are not very encouraging, as
the blood is strong, having been bred in and in for so many
generations. But presently we find an animal of the average
size, aB fine almost as a thoroughbred, with his structural
points coriected, and fit for many purposes. He has about
the generi.l b dance of the French ponies of Canada or per-
haps a Morgan, which for practical purposes were the best
horses ever developed in America. At this Btage of the
development of the bronco he is no longer the little narrow-
shouldered, cat-hammed brute of his native plains, but as
round and square and arched as "anybody's horse," as a
Texan would express it. In this shape I aee him ridden in
Central Park, and fail to see but that he carries himself as
gallantly as though his name were in the "Stud Book." I
often see a pair of these horses dragging a delivery wagon
about on the pavements, and note the ease with which they
travel over many miles of stone-set road in a day. I have
also a particular fad which I would like to demonstrate, bnt
will simply say that this horse is the ne plus ultra for light
cavalry purposes. In the department of Arizona tbey have
used many California horses, and while some officers claim
that they are not as desirable as pure American stock, I ven-
ture to think that they would be if they were used by light
cavalry and not by dragons.

In intelligence the bronco has no equal, unless it is the
mule, though this comparison is inapt as that hybrid has an
extra endowment of brains, sb though in compensation for
the beauty which he lacks. I think that the wild state may
have sharpened the senses of the bronco, while in domesti-
cation he is remarkably docile. It would be quite unfair to
his fellows to institute anything like a comparison without
putting in evidence the peculiar method of dtfense to which
he resorts when he struggles with man for the mastery.
Every one knows that he "bucks," and familiarity with that
characteristic never breeds contempt. Only those who have
ridden a bronco the first time it was saddled, or have lived
through a railroad accident, can form any conception of the
solemnity of such experiences. Few Eastern people appre-
ciate the Bky-rocket bounds, and grunts, and stiff legged
striking, because the "bucking" process is entered into with
great spirit by the pony but once, and that is when he is
first under the saddle-tree. If that "scrape" is "ridden out"
by bis master the bronco's spirit is broken; and while he may
afterwards plunge about, he has intelligence enough not to
"kick against the pricks."

His greatest good qnality is the ease with which he 6tands
any amount of hard riding over tho trail; and this is not
because of any particular power which he has over the thor-
oughbred, for instance, but because of his "bard stomach."
He eats no grain in the growing stages of his life, and his
stomach has not been forced artificially to supply a system
taxed beyond the power of the stomach to fill. The same gen-
eral difference is noted'between an Indian and a white man.
You may gallop the pony until your thoroughbred
"heave and thump" end "go wrong" in a dozen vitu"
and the bronco will cool off and come through little
for the experience.

Proctor Knott.

Editor Breeder and Spoktsman. — Acting on your tele-
graphed instructions I paid a visit to Mr. Samuel Bryant to
rind out what truth there was in the rumor anent the selling
of the wonderful gtldiug that we all here think bo much of,
Mr. Bryant was perfectly willing to be interviewed on the
Bubject, and informed me Uiat mOBt of the stories telegraphed
over the country were gros* exaggerations. It seemB that
while Matt Byrne wasj in this state attending the ,sales1 he
paid a visit to Mr. Bryant's and took a look at the colt, prob-
ably as much out of curiosity as anything else, for at the
time nothing whatever was mentioned about buying him, and
the subject was not broached by either of the parties. After
a pleasant sojourn Mr. Byrne left, going immediately East.
Some few days afterward a dispatch was received by Bryant
which read as follows: "Let me know if you will take $25,000
for Prootor Knott." An answer was sent to this telegram
stating that the price for the colt would be ©30,000, and not
a cent less would purchase him. This is all that haB passed
between the parties interested, and no message was sent say-
ing that Mr. HagginTB man would go on for the horse. Mr.
Bryant is very confident about his thoroughbred and seems
convinced that he owns the fastest race horse in America.

I do not think he would fancy parting with him even if the
price stated was put up, but it would get him out of partner-
ship with Mr. Scoggins. Sometime ago they divided the
stable, with the exception of Proctor Knott and Come to Taw,
both of which are still owned by the firm.

Mr. Bryant also informed me that some Nashville parties
wanted the colt and had wired for hiB lowest price, but no
answer had been sent as the colt would, if sold, go into a
Western stable, and his own horses would then have to con-
tend against Knott in nearly all the Western events. This
would not be desirable, but if on the contrary Mr. Haggin
should purchase the colt, be would in all probability be
taken East for what is known as the big tracks, and then Mr.
Bryant would still have Come to Taw as a champion for the
West. The chances are strongly against Knott starting in
the Kentucky Derby, as Bryant feels assured of being able to
win the valuable stake with the other colt.

I aBked him who the parties were who wanted to pur-
chase the Futurity winner, but Mr. Bryant said he would
much rather not mention their names, however I imagine
that if it was not McClelland and Roche, the only other per-
sons who might want the colt would be Ex-Mayor Nolan of
Albany, N. Y., who has joined bands with Johnny Camp-
bell, late of the Chicago stable, and together they are now
building up the "Beaverwyck" which will without doubt be
heard from before the next season ends. I remember Sam
making a remark to me just after Knott won the Junior
Champion. Said he: "I am 'dead in love' wiih the colt,"
yet, still, from the way he talks I should think he is dead in
love with Come to Taw. My impression is that he thinks
just as much of the latter as he does of the namesake of the
erstwhile Kentucky statesman, and if the colt is not a large
breadwinner in the early part of 1889 Bryant will be a sadly
disappointed man. To sum up, Californians can rest assured
that Prootor Knott will not sport the yellow and blue next
year.

I have made some inquiries about the much lauded Galen,
and hear very promising reports about the Paustus — Lady
Reckless colt. He is at present in Nashville taking his win-
ter work, and has grown fully an inch in height since bis
hard campaign work finished. Mr. Hankins tells me that
the colt is very much like the Emperor of Norfolk in appear-
ance, and thinkB he will equal Baldwin's magnificent son of
Norfolk in Bpeed. If Mr. Hankins is correct in his supposi-
tions Proctor Knott will not have the walk over that Mr.
Bryant imagines.

Little Minch, one of the most abused horses that was cam-
paigned last year, will again be put in training not with-
standing there has been several flattering offers made for
him, for Btud purposes. As Mr. Hankins will have pergonal
supervision of his stable this year, things will probably as-
sume an aspect different from that of last year. Macbeth
will stand a close watch during the coming season, he has
rounded to in good shape, and will in all probability be one
of the cracks of the Chicago stable.

Egmont's ailment is, I am pleased to state, only temporary,
and the veterinary surgeon who has him in charge feels con-
fident of bringing the noble horse once more to his old form.

Astoria.

A Race at Clifton.

Many of the local turfies seem to think that "lobs" are
indigenous to the Pacific Coast, but by reading the account
given below, the reader will discover that fraud, and bare-
laced fraud at that, jb practiced in the East as well as here.
Capuhn, the horse alluded to, carried a lot of San Francisco
money, the pool room habitues being very sweet on the big
bay, aod backing him freely both straight and place.

"Centaur,"' in the Sporting World, says: Capulin was a
strong favorite, while Osceola had pretty substantial support,
and Bishop was backed by hie people. But long prices were
always on offer about them as well as the others. When the
flag fell, Bishop, Fiddlehead and Osceola started out to make
the running, and they set a clipping pace. Capulin got off
in the ruck. Coming by the stand Bishop led a half length,
while Fiddlehead and Osceola were head and head. Next
came Louise. Courtier and Capulin, all going well in band.
On the turn Hyslop seemed to take particular care to lose his
position, and had to pull up and go around his horses, but
liis mount was so good and so full of runniug. that the in-
stant he got a chance to run clear, he came so fast that, to
use the language of trainers, he fairly "ate up his horses."
On the second turn, Hyslop acted very much as if he wanted
to pull the horse out of his stride, but the animal was going
so strong, that the harder the boy polled the faster he went.

Of course Hyslop may explain his conduct by saying that
the horse was rank and that he tried to steady him. But
when a jockey has to sit away back iu the saddle, bracing
himself against his stirrup irons so that his legs Btick out,
and moreover has a double wrap arouDd his wriBts, then
there is too much steadying to be legitimate. At all events
Capulin, despite the opposition in the saddle, still outran his
horses. At the three-quarter pole, where mile races are
usually started, Bishop and Osceola were neck and neck, two
lengths before Capulin, who had worked into third place.
Entering the stietch Capulin had got to within a length of
them, and the crowd, which had been watching Hyslop's per-
formance with surly interest and amazement, now began to
?ell "Come on with that horse." From the infield came

I'houts of -'Loosen your wrap you ; don't dislocate

lis jaw," But Hyslop wan game, and although the horse
was nearly getting the better of him 6till Osceola won by a
: 'Dgth and a half, and Bishop, thanks to Kelly's desperate,
f.LTioufl riding, beat Capulin, whom Hyslop still continued to
\old in, a neck for the place.

In an instant the entire space in front of the grandstand
and about the jndges' staud was filled with a widely excited
crowd shouting, "Fraud!" "Declare bets off!" 'Rule him
off!" etc. Hyslop looked decidedly pale when he came to the
scales and when he faced the augry mob.

Immediately after the weighing had been completed a
meeting of the executive committee was called. Nearly a full
board was present, including the judges of the day. Starter
Caldwell waa. invited to be present. Mr. Eogeman, president
of the association, was in the chiar. Hyslop was called upon
to tell his story and was closely cross examined. The up-
shot of the meeting was that the committee ordered the
superintendent of the track to refuse stable room any longer
to tho owner of Capulin, and directed the secretary to
decline hie entries iu future. Hyslop was suspended
pending a further hearing, which wbb granted him.

Constitution of the Syrian Horse.

Au interesting statement is made by Col. Barrow, who was
the chief organizer of mounted infantry in the British cam-
paigns in the Soudan. The horses for the 19th Hussars were
Arab stallions of fourteen hands, whose average age was be-
tween 8 to 9 years, bought iu Syria and Lower Egypt. Out
of 350 horses, during nine months in a hard campaign only
12 died from diseat.e. This he attributes, firstly to the cli-
mate of the Soudan, being most suitable for horses, and
secondly, to the Syrian horse having a wonderful constitution.
The distance marched, irrespective of reconnoisBances, etc.,
was over 1,500 miles, and the weight oarried averaged 196
pounds.

The weather during the last four months was very trying,
food was often limited, and during the desert march water
was very Bcarce. When Gen. Stewart's column made his
final advance, the 155 horses the 19th had with them marched
to the Nile without having received a drop of water for fifty-
five hours, and only one pound of grain. Some fifteen or
twenty had no water for twenty hours. At the end of' the
campaign, and after a week's rest, the animals were handed
over to the 20th Hussars at Assouan in as good order as when
they left Wady-Hulfa nine mouths previously.

A. Letter From "Hark Comstock.'

From tlie Brebuer'a Gazette.

In your notice of the purchase of Ansel. 2:20, by Col. H.
S. Russell, you speak of his having taken his record against
time. I find in neither Chester nor Wallace any record o*
his starting against time. In 1887 he beat the pacer Prus-
sian Boy mile heat in 2:24£, 2;?4, and the later beat the geld,
ings Ben Ali and Terror in straight order iu 2:28, 2:20, 2:20,
the latter being distanced in the Becond heat. Mr. Charles
Marvin, who developed Anscjl, pronounces him one of the
most ptrfect tempered horBes in company he ever drove — a
level-headed race horse in perfection. Colonel Russell did
not purchase the son of Electioneer and Thoroughbred
Annette for trotting purposes, however. He will go into
the stud at Home Farm, and will probably be en route from
California by the time this reaches you.

Nor was he bought alone upon his breeding or his record-
He has been tried in the stud at Palo Alto, and my word
for it, the showing of some of his yearlings on the miniature
track and in harness would make the heart of any breeder
<dad. Marvin pointed out to the writer a yearling by him
which as early as last June he drove a quarter in forty sec-
onds with no work but breaking, and oiners that later were
nearly as fast. A two-year-old by him is regarded as among
the most promising in the training stables. Marked charac-
teristics of Ansel's get are their tine conttitution, muscular
developement and splendid legs and feet. They are of trot-
ting conformation, yet there is a tinge of the Thoroughbred
all through them. "That's bad," I hear you say, but since
some quite good ones have it in these later dayB, I notice its
opponents ('sing low" against it as compared to what they
used to do. There is no more popular owner in New Eog-
land than Colonel Russell, and surrounding breeders will re-
joice that he has placed among them "a standard son of Elec-
tioneer so well attested in speed and so promising in the
stud.

I also notice your comments upon the success of Alcyone
in the stud. The death of the great son of George Wilkes
and Alma Mater, by MambrinoJPatcheu, was indeed a loss.
There is a great hit both in trotting and transmitting trotting
power between the blood of George Wilkes and Mambrino
Patchen. It is quite the greatest form iu which Hamble-
tonian blcod and Mambrino Chief bluod nick in coming
together of a direct. The two families, after all is said and
done, are not as a whole a great nick and only harmonize in
streaks. Old rJolly always hit with Hambletouian sires, and
I used to think Clark Chief's line showed some tendency
that way; but most other success resulting in a trotter of
high caste from a direct crossing of the two strains can be
traced to the ameliorating influence of other blood, as Ameri-
csn Star, Pilot, a doubling of Mambrino or an inbreeding of
Hambletonian. But there can be no doubt of a great hit
between George Wilkes and the daughters of Mambrino
Patchen. Not only in Alcyone is it transmitted splendidly
but William L. has given us Axtell, 2:23 at two years, and
his brother Guy Wilkes, 2:15^, has given us Sable Wilkes,
2:18 at three yearB. I saw Guy Wilkes trot some of his
races in California this season. He, Stamboul and Woodnut
were a great trio of contestants. Guy WilKes is a tine-tempered
race horBe, and though both he and Stamboul tired from
want of condition in their Oakland race, yet both struggled
with the finest display of courage to the termination of every
heat. Alcyone, Baron Wilkes, 2:18; William L., Alcantara
and Guy Wilkes were brothers in blood and all seem to be
great Bires. About as growthy, finely-matured, and well
balanced a lot of yearling and two-year-olds as the world
holds can be seen at Mr. William Corbltt's place at San Mateo,
got by Guy Wilkes. True, the sire lias had special advan-
tage in getting them, for Mr. Oorbitt's mares are remarkably
wall bred, many beiug by Athurtou and others by The Moor
and his sons, and a few by Electioneer. He exptcts to send
thiee carloads of them to Peter C. Kellogg «fc Go.'s Bale in
New York in March, where EaBtern horsemen can judge them
by their own btandard. Mr. Corbitt has bf-en partial to The
Moor's blood as a cross for Guy Wilkes, and thus bred Sable
WilkeB and others that are very fast, Mr. L. J. Rose of Los
Angeles, who built up the family of The Moor and bred
Stamboul 2:14:{- from it, returns the compliment, for in a
letter just received from him be expres=es a very compli-
mentary opinion of Guy Wilkes. Mr. Rose will also send
three carloads of youngsters of his own breeding to the same
sale, and Mr. G. Vuleusiu of Plaasauton, has consigued a
dozen head by hiB remarkable young sire Sidney. The
California contingent will be out in 3trong force.

Hark Comstock,

PireDzi.

We have received a copy of the current number of Wilkes1
Spirit, containing a colored likeness of Mr. J. B. Haggin's
great race mare, Firenzi, with Garrison in the saddle. The
artist has produced a very clever picture of the horse, but
" Snapper's " physog hardly does him justice. The Spirit
says: "Firenzi is not a showy maie; she lacks size and
elegance; but the daughter of Glenelg and Florida is the
champion of America, having disposed of The Bard in the
Freehold, and of Kingston in the Champion. Accordingly,
it is most fitting that she, of all racers of the present day,
should be chosen as our holiday embellishment, and racing
men throughout the country will treasure so capital a por-
trait of one of the best performers known to the turf in
America.

"Firenzi is so popular a mare that Bhe needs little intro-
duction. In brief it may be said she is a dark bay, and was bred
by D. Swigert, at the Elmendorf Stun, Muirs, Ky., foaled May
15. 18S4, and sold as a yearling at the Elmendorf nale in May,
18S5, to J. B. Haggin, of Sacramento, Cal., for $2,600.
She is a daughter of imp. Glenelg, from Florida, by Virgil;
grandam Florence, by Lexington; great-grandam imp.
Weatherwitcb, by Weatherbit. As a two-year-old she
started eight times, winning five, including the Autumn and
Nursery stakes. As a three-year-old she started fourteen
times, winning eight, including the Ladies, Gazelle, Mer-
maid, Monmouth Oak*, West End, Hunter, and Jerome
Stakes. The past Beason, as a four-year-old, she Btarted in
twenty races, and won thirteen, including such events as the
Monmouth Cup, Harvest Handicap, NaveBink Handicap,
Freehold Stakes, Champion Stakes (one mile aod a half in
2:34, the best on record), Monmouth Handicap, Average
Stakes, Great Long Island Stakes, FireDzi Stakes, Battle
StakeB and Manhattan Handicap. Her total winnings
amount to $72,351. Firenzi is only fifteen hands high, but
very wiry, and her legs and feet are of the best."

A Weanlinff Colt's Price.

A telegram was received at the Breeder and Sportsman
office on Friday last, but too late for publication in lat,t
week's issne. It is as follows: Sanator Stanford to-day sold to
Miller & Sibley of Franklin, Pa., the weanling colt by
Electioneer out of the mare Beautifnl Bells for $12,500.
This is said to be the highest price ever paid for a weanling
colt in America. The colt is full brother to Hinda Rose
2:19$, St. Bel 2:24$, Chimts 2:30|, BellBoy 2:191. Palo Alto
Belle 2:284. ^

Horse Talk.

A striking feature of the times is the triumphant march of
Btallion service fees toward the boundary line of fanciful
rates. A few years ago it was thought that Nutwood had
reached the zenith of his fame when he alone commanded
$350 by the season, but his book for 1889 is nearly full at
$500. Onward's services for next season are already engaged
in full at $300, and 1 believe $500 win be hia fee in 1890.
Victor von Bismarck's book is full for 1889 at $300. Phallas
will stand at $250 next season, Miller & Sibley are dailv
declining tempting offers for use of St, Bel to ceitain choice
mares, and bo it goes to the end of the chapter. Will the
business trot over itself? No; the progress of trotting-horse
breeding has been so gradual, and the demand for the best is
so widespread, that it is secure against retrogression.—
Horseman.

The Baldwin String:.

R. W. Thomas, late trainer for "Lucky" Baldwin, arrived
here during the week from California, accompanied by J.
Manahan, who was Baldwin's light-weight jockey a portion
of the season. Both will stay here during the winter.
Thomas will not train for Baldwin next season, and Monahan,
will not ride for the California turfman. It is at least among
the possibilities that Thomas will have a stable of his own,
and that Monahan will ride for him. The former now owds
a half interest in Eight to Seven, and is owner of a promising
two-year-old. As any remarks by such an experienced man
as Baldwin's late traiuer bearing on the California stable
would naturally be of interest to the average reader, I append
some of his views and comments gathered in a conversation
yesterday:

"What about the Emperor of Norfolk ?" I queried; "was he
a great colt, aDd will he stand training again?"

"A great colt! The best and greatest I ever laid eyes on,
and I have seen nearly all the crackB in the last dozen of
years, including Hindoo and Luke Blackburn. The racing
public never realized how good an animal the Emperor really
was."

"Was the injury to his leg sufficiently serious to suggest
the idea that he will not stand the training ordeai next sea-
son?"

"You see'tfiat big building over there? Well I'll agree to
jump over it if the Emperor is ever brought to a race. I
ought to know as muoh about the matter as anybody, maybe
more, and I tell you now bis raoing days are over, because
he is hopelessly broken down, and the more is the pity
because, as I have said, he was the best colt I ever saw!
There was nothing at all serious with his legs last spring*
although he did pull op slightly lame at Nashville, aud when*
we reached Chicago he was as sound aB a dollar. The race at
Washington Park, when he pulled up so lame, did the busi-
ness for him — broke him down."

"How about Volante — will he train again?"

"They may train him, but I predict now he will never run
another race, certainly not mure than one or two, because I
consider him as virtually broken down. Had not the Emperor
and Volante been retired so soon, Baldwin's winnings this
year would have been away ahead of those of any other turf-
man. As it was they reached the very respeotable figure of
$112,000. Of this amount Los Angeles won about $40,000,
and the Emperor in the neighborhood of $35,000."

"What is the Baldwin programme for nest season?"

"He will have a pretty fair Btable, even if he makes no new
purchases, although his batch of two-year-olds this year were
rather a poor lot. Some of his ytarlings are promising.
Bob Campbell, this year's assistant traiuer, will train the
stable next year, aod I believe Isaac Murphy will be the
principal jockey. The only western point where the string
will race will be at Chicago, and from there they will go

journal that sixteen heifers, from various parts of the country
absolutely free from pleoro-pnenmonia, have been collected,
inoculated in three different parts of the body, the wounds
being treated antiseptically, and the animals have now been
sent to a farm where pleuro is reigning extensively, being
mixed with the diseased cattle.

Raising Inferior Stock.

It would seem as thougu, uuiioiuering how mnch has been
published on the advantages of raising a class of stock that
will sell readily and at remunerative prices, that very few
would be found still breeding trom Bcrub sires. The class of
Btook marketed, however, showB that many are yet following
this short-sighted plan, and lo-dng money by it, says the
National Live Stock Journal. The prices realized at the
large markets of the country are evidence of this, and in all
probability there will for many years to come be the same
oceasion for urging a different course. In his annual ad-
dress before the Iowa Improved Stock Breeders' Association,
the President, Hon. John McHugh, Btated that in his
opinion two-thirds of the farmers in that State were still
using Bcrob or grade sires. Doubtless the same may be salJ
of other States, aud it certainly is not a nattering comment
on the intelligence of farmers that this is the case. There is
a large field among such furmers for work by breeders of
improved stock, in setting forth the advantages of a differed
method. This may be helped by securing the attendance of
such men at the Farmers' Institute meetings, at gatherings
of breeders where such subjects are discussed, by personal
argument, an 1 by the distribution of reading matter on the
merits of improved stock, either in the way of securing sub-
scriptions, or by means of specimen copies of live-stock
publications. This is. a specially favorable time for work in
this direction, which may result in personal benefit to the
breeder. _

Highland Cattle in Wyoming.

The experience of one man with Highland cattle on the
range is related in the Northwestern Live-Stock Journal,
Cheyenne, a6 follows:

When alluding to the improved beef breeds, the bolls of
which have been crossed upon the common range cow, the
West Highland Scotch bulls seem to have escaped any con-
siderable comment. This may be due to their comparative
scarcity in the range country, aud the very few of them in
use. An inkling of what would be the result from their use
on the range stock may be gathered from an account of the
experience of Mr. Luke Voorhees, a well known cat.le man
of Laramie County.

Iu the summer of 1884 Mr. Voorhees bought a well bred
West Highland Scotch bull, and imported him tothiscouEtry.
He placed him among his granger cows on the home ranch
iu the spring of 1885, and he got calves to nearly every cow
he served. Since his importation he has been bred to both
the range and domestic cattle, and as a resalt there are now
nearly a hundred of his get ou the range. The progeny, in
the majority, are almost esact counterparts ot the sire —
short and heavy, and quartered well down to the hocks.
Thin bull, which gets no feed other than that the pasture
affords, weighe.l this fall, though not in his best form, about
1,400 pounds. Mr. Voorhees says that better cattle could
uoc be wished for this climate; their long and thick hair and
great vitality rendering them proof against the cold weather.
They are great ruBtlers, and iu the midst of the winter
months will be found fat and in good spirits. While the
Dative cattle are standing humped up and benumbed with
cold, the Highland bull and his get may be seen either
rustling for feed or cavortiDg'.around in playful antics. The
bullB are very active, and this one has got nearly every cow
with calf that he has served. Mr. Voorhees has a heifer
from him, three years old next Bpring, which calved last
spring; Bhe is now being milked, and is proving herself to
be an excellent dairy as well »s a beef animal.

The only objection that Mr. Voorhees or anyone else can
consistently offer, is that the cattle make slow growth.
Although they are in good form and fat enough to market
when four years old, yet they are not heavy enough— adding
a great deal of flesh in the fifth year. The heifers mature
early enough, however, though the slow beef growth might
be considered a detriment, as people are marketing cattle
now-a-days long before their prime; but were cattle men to
wait, as they did in the earlier days of the business, until
their steers reached the fifth year, the grade Highlander
would show up with immense weigbt and splendid form, aud
their meat, we are told, would bring a price far above the
average.

full rations when the fattening period begins. The frame of
su2h animals is coarse and muscular, over whioh is piled an
exoessive amount of fat. Alternating full and scant rations,
instead of making a streak of fat and a streak of lean, as the
story runs, is much more likelj to pile more fat upon the
insides of the animal, aud especially on the intestines. This
fat in modern times iB far less valuable than formerly. Even
the fat of the hog has lost much of its former value, because
of the competition of preparations of cotton seed oil and other
adulterations. Fat of beeves gets?now most of itB commer-
cial value from its abuse in making fraudulent butter. That
of the sheep is not so well adapted to this purpose, and Is
leBB valuable.

The very best meats are grown on animals kept in a thriv-
iQR. growing condition from their birth until they are killed.
They need not at any time be noticeably fat, but rather only
in good thrifty condition. Since the chemistry of feeding is
now better understood, farmers have learned to make lean
meats by feeding larger proportions of albuminous foods and
lees of carbonaceous nutrients. There is no excuse now for
keeping animals in nnthrifty condition in order to prevent
excessive fatness. If the food is properly varied even breed-
ing stock can always be weli fed, and with greater profit than
can come from poor feeding. "Wheat bran, oats and cotton
seed meal, from which as much as possible of the oil has been
extracted, will be used as substitutes for corn and corn meal
in the feeding ration for animals not intended for Bpeedy
slaughter.

In Favor of Jersey Cattle-

At a conference of dairy farmers, held a few weeks ago,
Mr. S. T. Floyd, a Maine farmer, read a paper giving his
reasons for preferring the Jersey as follows:

Fir^t, they are easier to raise than other breeds. The
calves take kindly to drinking their rations, wean eaBily, are
good pets and good feeders. They are intelligent and pretty,
so it is a pleasure to care for them; children like to feed
them. They come to maturity young, coming into the dairy
at from twenty -two to twenty-four months old; they will pay
their way fr.ni that time on. I tested one at two years old
that had given milk four months, and she made 8f pounds
of butter in seven days. Another good quality of the Jersey
cow is, she goes dry but a short time; while other breeds re-
quire from two to three months' vacation from the dairy, the
Jersey willjhardly take as many weeks. I have already re-
marked that the calves are good feeders, so are the cows; al-
ways possessed of good .-ppetites, and abont as good as sheep
to clear the weeds and fonl grasses out of a pasture. Mine
was overrun with buttercups and ox eyed daisies when I be-
gan with Jerseys, and now June and July can only show
cloBe cropped grass.

Again, the Jersey will bear more good feed, convert it prof-
itably into butter, and hold out looger than any breed I
know. My nearest neighbor has one sixteen years old that
has always been fed what farmers call "high," and now,
twelve months since her last calf, is giving 27£ pounds o
good, rich milk daily. But the most important, reason why
I prefer the Jersey is the good quality of her butter. She
may thrive well on our hard and rocky pastures, stand our
cold winteiB, or higb pressure feeding, still if she will not
leave a margin when her product is sold, aud the bills are
paid, she will soon grow out of favor with the hard-working
and economical farmer. It is really the great question which
breed will pay best. We do not keep cows and our wives do
not make butter for pleasure, but for pay, aDd the cowb that
will produce the most at the least cost, as a class, are indis-
putably the Jerseys. Neither is quantity all. Quality has
much to do with the income of a dairy. Ten cents a pound
will make quite a difference in pumming up the receipts of
even a small dairy for a year. Yet thiB difference is often
made by consumers who know the difference between Jerpey
and other grades of butter. This is no guess, but has often
come under my own observation, and ii is, in truth, where
the pay comes in.

Dairying, like all' other farming, is subject to close com-
petition, and the accepted law ot the "survival of the fittest"
applies to it as to all other progressive things, and to no
branch of it more, than to the cow; therefore we can only af-
ford to keep the best. The market now seems to demand
new butter, in lumps and in cakes, in cold weather and hot.
Even dog-days give no respite and no ralease from the de-
mands of the best paying customers, and from no class of
cows can it be furnished to satisfaction except the Jerseys.
It may possibly be made with others, by the aid of ice, but
by the time it gets to market it will hardly be presentable
to the fastidious city customer. If one has a herd of Jersej's
he need have no fears, and be can keep the trade both sum-
mer and winter, and that is one secret of a good price.

Feeding Cattle Economically.

Not every farmer attaohes the proper meaning to feediDg
with economy. The idea with some, judging from the ap-
pearance of their cattle, is that economy consists in getting
their stock through the winter on the least food possible,
without regard to their growth meantime or their condition

cattlemen who claim, as shown by their contributions to
The Journal, that their cattle have done better when allowed
to remain in yards protected only by open sheds, the idea
being that cattle under such condition are more healthy and
vigorous that when confined in Btables, where they do not
have the same fresh air and abundant exercise. Under such
circumstances it is not usual to find that a correct estimate of
the value of the food consumed can be formed, and this
lacking, the comparative expense can not be correctly
ascertained. While in overcruwded, badly-ventilated quar-
ters, cattle will not thrive so well, it can hardly be justly
claimed that in well-arranged stables where the stock have
an abundance of light and fresh air and an opportunity for
daily exercise, they will be leas healthy than when protected
from storms and cold only by open sheds or stacks. Thoae
who have tried the two plans mentioned, in a systematic
way, could interest many in the same line of business by
giving a detailed account of their experience, with the con-
clusions arrived at.

There ib money to be saved, too, in the way the cattle are
fed, as this relates to the kind of food or combinations of it
to produce best results. Much fodder and hay is wasted on
the farm, that if cut up and mixed with bran or meal or oil
cake would be eaten readily, and go far towards making up
the quantity required to carry the herd through the winter in
good condition.

If there is any one who can upon occasion put more solid
sense of the sort usually styled "common" into a few wordB
than an editor whose ordinary utterances may possibly be
upon some plane necessitating particularity in choice of
words and observance of nicety in grammatical usage we do
not know the man. Editor Sanders of the Breeder's Ga-
zette, an indispensable journal to cattle breeders, by the way,
had this to say a few days ago, and it may well be read and
assimilated by the thousands to whom it will go in this
paper:

The senior editor of The Gazette as he pens this article
recalls a bit of personal experience that forcibly illustrates
thiB point. Away back, as far as the writer's distinct per-
sonal recollection reaches, there lived in the backwoods of
Central Ohio a young man who, for the Bake of the story,
we will call John Smith. He was industrious, intelligei t,
and frugal. He married a young woman who lived on an
adjoining farm, and soon after, with no capital except good
health, intelligence, frugality, and industry, they bought on
credit a piece of land in the woods — enough to make a Bmall
farm. They went to work on it, as thousands of other young
couples have done, to clear up, to build a cabin, and to make
a home. Bnt there was one thing conspicuous in the meth-
ods of this young couple from the very beginning, and
which distinguished them from the great average — they re-
solved to do nothing but what they could do well. The team
work of the farm was done with mares, but they were unus-
ually good ones; they were always in good condition, strong
enough to plow deep, or draw a good load, and nearly every
year each mare raised a good foal, and these also were well
taken care of all the year round. He commenced with but
little stock, hut everything was the beBt that could be ob-
tained, and the effort for still better was constantly kept np.
And it soon came to be recognized that John Smith's horses
and cattle and sheep and pigs were always in good condition,
and were better than those of his neighbors. Scrub methods
had no place in John Smith's management.

It seemed almost miraculous that while crops in the
neighborLood generally were frequently very Jight, aud
sometimes almost total failures, those on John Smith's farm
were always good, apparently regardless of the season. The
secret lay in the lact that whatever he did he did well. His
seed was carefully selected, his ground was thoroughly pre-
pared, the crops were well tilled, the manure was carefully
saved and "put where it would do the most good," the stock
was all well cared for, the crops were all safely put away in
good condition, fences were kept up, the weeds were kept
down; in short, neither scrub methods nor scrub stock had,
with him, any place.

His wife was animated by the same spirit. Her butter
always brought the highest price; her jeans and flannels,
spun and woven by herself, were the beet that could be found
in the country; their maple sugar and syrup were marvels of
whiteness aud exquisite in flavor, and from the country fairs
each year a large thare of blue ribbons were taken home by
this energetic couple. Indeed, so remarkable was their pros-
perity, and so frequent were their triumphs at the shows,
that it excited general remark: and envious, less prosperous
neighbors would say: "There is no use taking anything to
the fair; Job a Smith and his wife will get the prizes on what-
ever they take anyhow."

But they prospered, and their prosperity was due solely to
the fact that the "scrub" never found a place anywhere on
that farm, and by the time John Smith had fairly reached
the prime of life he had amassed a handsome competence
which stood him in good stead, for just about that time he
was stricken down with inflammatory rheumatism, and from
that day to this he has been a helpless cripple; but he had
saved enough to make him comfortable and independent for
the remainder of his life.

the era of electric lights and kerosene, when candles were the
common means of illumination. 'Ihefatof the beef or the
sheep was Quite generally worth more per pound than any
other part of the animal. Its use for candle making gave it a
value which reacted in other directions. The sturdy, hard-
working men and women of forty or fifty years ago, ate,
relished and digested much fatter meats of all kinds than do
most people now. Fat is not easily digested. To a dyspep.ic
who takeB little exercise this is a serious objection. To the
healthy worker slowness of digestion may be a positive
advantage. The food "staudB by" longer.

The objection to too much fat is stronger in this country
than in Europe. A larger proportion of our people live in
cities and are employed in sedentary occupations than in
most European countries. Besides, our fattened mcatB are
mainly corn fed, and the fat made from corn is more than
usually hard and indigestible. Corn-fed pork is harder to
digest than either beef or mutton, and is therefore the favor-
ite standby of men working in the woods in cold weather.
Lumbermen if offered beef or mutton complain of th^se excel-
lent foods as too light and unsubstantial, as did the Israelites
of the Manna iu their journey through tbe wilderness.

The evils of excessive fatness are increased by the policy

ormerly prevalent of keeping animals in a condition of semi
^tafya^on dljriog their grpwipg stage, and only giving them ' of food goea to' make grpwth. and flef?b

it as economy to leave the stock to depend on what can be
got from the meadows for weeks after heavy frosts have taken
nourishment from the grass and cut short its growth. This
is poor economy in two ways, for not only does the stock lose
flesh, but the meadows are injured by having the grass eaten
off su close that the roots are unprotected during the winter,
and having been injured, the next season's yield is reduced.
There is mere money loat in this way by many a farmer than
he has any idea of.

Another way in which it \b quite commonly seen that
money is lost in feeding, is by throwing the hay, and the
grain, too, in many cases, on the ground. Much corn is left
uneaten by the cattle, either because of the mud and filth on
it, or ou account of its; shelling off so they caonot gather it
up. Where bogs are kept in the Bam e yards, some of the
waste is prevented, but it is better economy to feed in
troughs and racks, where the cattle can eat up clean what is
given them. In some sections it may be considered that the
value of hay aud grain will not warrant the outlay required
to provide better feeding facilities, but such cases are only
exceptions to the rule that money is lost by wasting food.

There is no question that cattle consnme less food when
provided with comfortable quarters in stables, for then less is
1 required to keep up bodily warmth, and a larger proportion

There are some

There is little difference in the market values of the
different staple feeding substances. The values Beem to
adapt themselves in some way to the intrinsic usefulness
of each, uolese there is some special scarcity or abundance
which causes a temporary difference, and even then the
market values soon adjust themselves to a level with that
of the particular one. Tbe best feed for a cow is, by general
consent of those who keep cows, made up as follows:
Cornmeal aud wheat bran in equal parts, oatmeal two partB,
and bran one part, with good clover hay cut and wetted and
mixed with the meal.

Ban Francisco, - Saturday, Jan. 5, 1889.

The New Volume.

This is the initial number of volume XIV, sis months
more completing the seventh year of the paper.

It is long enough to fully establish its stability, and
we are pleased to announce that there are bright pros-
pects ahead.

The Breeder and Sportsman is in better condition
than ever before. The staff has been strengthened until
we are well satisfied with every member of it.

Miss A. L. Wilson is the business manager, and from
the ability she has shown the past six months, there is
little question that the experience gained will add to her
capacity. Heretofore the business department has been
grossly mismanaged, so much so as to greatly annoy our
subscribers, entailing severe losses on the proprietors.
Miss Wilson has cleared away the major part of the
troubles, and we can assure subscribers and advertisers
that everything will be done by her to avoid just cause
for complaint.

"Rod," -'Trap," and "The Kennel" are still under the
charge of H. H. Biiggs, and it is almost supererogatory
for us to say that he is as competent to fill the place as
any man in the whole country. We must acknowledge
that Mr. Bnggs has a tact beyond ours for obtaining
correspondents in his departmeut.

While we have several who "write horse" admirably
the trouble is that they are so busy with their own
affairs that we cannot solicit them for more than an
occasional screed.

A short time ago we secured the services of A. P. Waugh
as an assistant in the horse department, and we cau as-
sure our readers that we are much gratified therewith.
Mr. Waugh was a former resident of California, and
since he left here he has made the circuit of the world,
witnessing racing in nearly every country, and is thor-
oughly conversant with newspaper work, having been
engaged in it for the last twenty years. Not only that,
as he has been employed on the eastern turf journals and
is peculiarly well fitted for the position he occupies.

We are averse to making promises, preferring to stand
on the record already obtained, though there is work on
the trestle board which when carried out, we think will
be a valuable feature of the paper. We have been ur-
gently solicited to finish the second volume of Horse
Portraiture, and have another edition of the first volume
issued. We may do that in order to correct what we
now consider wrong instructions. When the first volume
was published, more than twenty years ago, we held to
many of the old practices which are thrown aside, and
in our opinion replaced by a far better system. We in-
tend, however, to present the results of our latest exper-
iments with tips, and also what has followed other
chauges in training horses. We thank subscribers and
others for the support given, aud trust that there will
be a continuation of their favors.

It may not be out of place to call the attention of ad-
vertisers to the advantages which the Breeder and
Sporstman presents.

T le main support is from men who are in circuui-
sti vices to purchase, and there are few breeders of horses
o- the Pacific Slope whose names are not found in the

,:.ling list. To those may be added breeders of cattle
u,ii other domestic animals, "busiuess men" and gentle,
men who have a penchant for the spoit3 of flood and
^eld.

Master Joe.

In mentioning correspondents it will not do to let our
latest escape without special commendation. Those who
read our communication in the paper of last week
signed Daniel Joseph McCarty, had the head line been
wanting would have thought it was the production of a
regular turf correspondent or place of a boy fourteen
years. A succinct and comprehensive statement of the
campaign and we congratulate Master Joe on his en-
trance into literary circles. We were not aware of
the prenomen until the letter was published and having
always considered him a namesake of ours never having
addressed him by any other name. Shall adhere to the
middle one. We are somewhat partial to the prefix as
our grandfather always used that when something was
done to meet his approbation.

The Stanford Stake.

It is far from being the intention to let the Stanford
stake lapse as some have imagined, and the reasons for
not closing on the first of January is that it was the desire
of Capt. N. T. Smith that a trotting association should
be organized to take the management of thatand other
stakes off his hands. Few are aware of the labor that
Captain Smith has performed in connection with these
stakes, and we do not know of another competent man
who had no other interest than a willingness to aid
trotting interests who would have accepted the trust.
The first letter we wrote on recovery was to Captain
Smith in relation to that the National, Junior aud
Primary stallion stakes. Since then we have learned
that Captain Smith is at Paso Robles Springs. The
call for a meeting to organize the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting Breeders Association will be in the next number
of the Breeder and Sportsman.

Noonday.

This horse, the latest importation in the shape of a
trotting stallion to California, we saw a few days ago,
and though expecting to see a fine horse, as so good a
judge as Sam Gamble would not be likely to bring au
inferior specimen of the famous Kentucky 'rotter, he ex-
ceeds our expectations.

He is so well formed, so evenly balanced and so hand-
some withal that it is difficult to say in what particular
point he excels. A handsome color, too, a dark seal brown
with a small star and one white foot to relieve the dark
shade. His breeding is uuexcepticnally good, being by
Wedgew&od, his dam Noontide by Harold, his granddam
Midnight, (the dam of Jay-Eye-See) by Pilot Jr., and
his third dam Twilight by Lexington.

His dam has a record of 2:20£, and his sire a record of
2:19. It may be called a remarkable pedigree, closely
allied to Maud S-, Jay-Eye-See and Nutwood, with a
not very distant relationship to Patron.

Death of Piercy Wilson.

Although anticipated for some time, the death of Piercy
Wilson was so sudden that the shock was nearly as severe
as if he had been stricken in full health. He bore bis
long suffering for many years with manly resolution'
and, until the past two years, had hopes of recovery.
Before then, though occasionally despondent, he did not
give up, cheered by the hopes of returning Eibt, and
presumably to England. Literary ventures which he
depended upon for the means to make the journey failed,
and from that time he lost heart. He would not listen
to receiviug aid from his friends, and though a few of
those would cheerfully have advanced whatever sum was
necessary to carry out his wishes. We spoke to him
twice in relation to raising the funds, confident that an
application to oueof them would be all that was required
as it was in our power to secure enough for the expenses
to New York. All the arguments we could offer did not
change his resolution, and strong as the desire was, the
sturdy independence of his character reseuted the thought
of what he termed an eleemosynary contribution. There
were occasions when he would regain some of his former
elasticity of spirits, though as he felt his strength failing
from dav to day it was rare to see the old time smile and
never the hearty outbursts of laughter he was prone to
indulge in over a ludicrous situation or a well told joke.

He was on the regular staff of the Breeder and
Sportsman until July 13, 1888, when by the advice
of his physician he went to the Springs. We have
iMe doubts of the efficacy of this treatment to a
raau of Mr. Wilson's habitB. Retiring as was hiB
nature he had a few friends which gave him great
Dleasure 1o meet, and as nearly his whole life had
been Bpent among exciting sceues the quiet of the coun-
try would enhance the gloom which overshadowed him
and bring desolation in place of relief. Death came in a
way which would have been his choice, in fact when he
spoke in relatiou to it he always signified his desire to
make a quick exit from the stage of life.

We append the article on his death which was pub-
lished in the Call. There are two errors in it, his age
being given as 55 years, whereas he was 63 last October
He came to California in 1875, accompanying Mark A
Littell and Mrs. Littell, the intention being to bring out
a pUy in which Mrs. Littell was to take a prominent
part. He was unusually reticent about his former life.
Notwithstanding our close intimacy it was rare that he
ever mentioned that part of his previous history which
necessitated reference to his family affairs, and the only
time he mentioned his wife was in relating a visit to
Brighton. We never asked him'a question in regard to
his affairs before coming to California, as it was evi-
dent it was a subject which he desired to avoid. The
encomiums we heartily endorse, and there is not a man
who enjoyed his friendship who will not add still higher

praise.

Laid Down iris Pen.

Piercy Wilson, an able and well-known journalist of this
city, died suddenly at his home yesterday morning, from an
attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. He roomed at the resi-
dence of W. A. Selarlde, 354 Grove street. When he re-
turned home on Saturday night he made no complaint of be-
iDg unwell, but on nri^ina at 10 o'clock Sunday, he made
some remark about feeing ill . He retired to the bath-room,
and a considerable time elapsing withont his making his ap-
pearance, Mrs. Schadde proceeded to that place, and found
Mr. Wilson in a kDeeling position with his head on one of
his hands. On examination he was found to be dead. The
Coroner's office was notified, but an investigation showed
that death had resulted from natural causes. The body was
subsequently removed to Halstead's undertaking establish-
ment where it now lies.

The deceased was a native of England, and 55 years
of age. After resigning a commission in the army in his
native country, he came to New York, and became conneoted
with a journal known as the Albion. He was quite success-
ful, and returned to England, leaving his wife and child be-
hind. During his absence, his wife attended a ball given to
the Prince of Wales on his visit to the United States, caught
cold and died. When Mr. Wilson returned, everything was
found broken up and his child was gone. He always thought
her dead. He came to California early in the sixtieB, and
easily secured employment on the public journals. He was
subsequently appointed dramatic critic for the Chronicle,
which position he retained for many years. He was also
correspondent for several Eastern journals. Iu hiB later
years he became the turf editor of the paper mentioned, and
was rated highly as an authority on all matters pertaining to
the race-track. He was the author of a number of plays,
one cf which was several years ago produced in one of the
London theatres.

In disposition Mr. Wilson was conservative and retiring,
but when his friendship was obtained, he was whole-souled
and strong in his attachment. As a writer, the articles of
the deceased always commanded appreciation, and frequently
excited admiration in thobe who kDew him to be the author

The deceased was a member of the Press Club, and will be
buried under its auspices.

Colt Show-

Before receiving intelligence of the movement in Ken-
tucky for a sweepstakes to show stallions and their colts
we had outlined a similar scheme. Ours is to make a
■ weepstakes of S250, or $500 each, to show at the State
Fair, five colts, foals of 1887, and the same number of
foals of 1SSS, the get of one horse, leaving it optional
with the owner to exhibit the sire or not. This clause
would be to provide for cases where the owner did not
want to take the risk of sendiDg the sire. It is welj
known that Governor Stanford will not permit Elec'ion.
eer to leave Palo Alco, and making the exhibition of the
aire a condition would rule out his get. But in order to
give those a chance who wish to show the sire in com-
pany with the colts, another stake of S100 each or up-
wards co^ld be opened fcr the sires. Tjere are so many
craclc trot.ing stallions in California that such a stake
should receive so many nominations that it might trouble
the State Fair folk to find stable room, but if that be the
case the exhibition will be such an attractive part of the
programme that some extra expense in making provision
will be a remunerative expenditure. Doubtless the soci-
ety will make a liberal addition and offer premiums to
go to the second, third, etc. in the contest. The winner
o? the stake will have enough to reimburse him. Two
Luudred and fifty dollars each is the minimum amount,
as there will be a good deal of expense entailed. The
State Fair, of course, to take the whole management
ihe nominations to be made to the secretary. Should
the society receive this proposition favorably we will
have more to say in relation to it. If the State institu-
tion does not accept the proposition we feel confident that
the Golden Gate will offer inducements.

After writing the above the'-e are good reasons why
the Golden Gate would be preferable. The larger num-
ber of trotting stallions are owned south of Sacramento,
Stt Helena, Vallejo, Sauta Rosa, Petaluma, Ple&sauton
San Mateo, Meulo Park, San Jose, and all points south
can reach Oakland with less expense than Sacramento,
and in case the show is held iu Oakland we will add $200
to the second premium.

Chas. Uuderbill of Santa Rosa, has sold to Geo. H'
Kennedy of the same place, a yearling t lly called Acclaim
by Three Cheers, dam Koaette. Acclaim is entered for tbe
Futurity Stake at Sheepshead, JS90 and also fur the Realiza-
tion Stake of 1891. The price paid was $500. Colts and
fillies by Three Cheers can uow find ready sale, Applause and
Almont having proved such good ones.

Correction.

We republish a corrected list of toe sons and daughters
of Electioneer, which have trotted in 2:30. The correc-
tions consist in accrediting Anteeo with the record to which
he is entitled, and giving Whips the place he won by tilling
all the conditions necessary to obtain a record of 2:27f.
It is certainly a remarkable showing in many respects.
Thirty-eight trotters and one pacer in it, and all but two
which have gone below the stipulated figure, twenty-six
which have beaten 2:25, and ten with records of 2.20 or
better. There has never been the equal of Electioneer
as the producer of great speed. He and George Wilkes
Wilkes are "tied " in the count of the inner circle, but
it must be borne in mind that George Wilkes has to his
credit fifty-nine trotters, so that the proportion would be
15 8-10; to take better than 2:25 as a basis, and Wilkes
has 30 in 59, whereas Electioneer has 26 in 38; so that to
be equal on this score Wilkes should have 40 inside of
2:25. This would not be fair argument if Electioneer
was very far behind Wilkes in the number cf his get,
which are entitled to a place, but as it stands it is not
far out of the way. There is almost a certainty of
getting a trotter when a mare is bred to Electioneer; only
one pacer in thirty-nine, whereas George Wilkes has five
in sixty-four.

We do not share the opinion of a Kentucky writer who
claimed that a stallion should have a black mark for
every pacer credited to him, but as that phase of the
breeding problem cannot be justly treated in a paragraph'
the consideration will be deferred.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature is the adapta-
bility to acquire the fast trotting step at an early age.
Six from two years to four which have beaten 2:20: viz.,
Sunol. 2 yrs., 2:18; Bonita, at 4 yrs.. 2:183; Bel1 B->y. 3
yrs., 2:19j> Hinda Rose, 3 yrs., 2:19^; and Anteeo, 4
yrs., 2:19£. "From strictly running bred dams," Ansel,
2:20; Palo Alto, 2:20£; Gertrude Russell, 2:23£; Az-
moor, 2:24£; Cubic, 2:28£; Express, 2:29£. Six in 38,
and until last year, if our memory be correct, there were
56 foals fiom thoroughbred dams, only 3S of which had
been trained at the close of 18S7. We would underrate
the sense of our readers to take up space to elucidate
this part of the problem. In the article copied from
(he Horseman, it was stated that "Ansel, whose 2:20 is the
fastest by a trotter fiom a strictly running bred dam,
and Palo Alto, whose 2:20^ stands next to it." This may
be, but when 2:20 and 2:20£ of two stallions in 38
trained, it is a better showing than is generally made
from ten times the number where there are no new
thoroughbred crosses. And then again it is not the fast-
est got by a strictly running bred sire, as Col. Lewis, by
Rifleman, trotteaiu 2:18a,

But as a further exemplification of the value of near
crosses of thoroughbred blood, nine of the 3S have
thoroughbred dams or grandams, just one-fourth of the
whole, and four of the nine which have trotted in 2:20
or better. This is a feature well wcrthy of notice.
Nine in 38 are due to the near crosses, six from thor-
oughbred dams, three having thoroughbred grandams.
But when the standard is 2:20 or better, we find four
in ten — an astonishing appreciation. In the first, there
is a shade under 24 per oent., in the secund forty per
cent of the fast division. Anyone who has sufficient
understanding to master the first four rules of " rith-
metic," will not require the assistance of D*boll to
master the subject.

Anteeo and Whips.

It seems to be a hopelesa task to have Anteeo credited
with the record he has made. In some way 2:16£ was
appended to his name in the Eastern papers and also in
the Year Books. In that of last year it was given cor-
rectly in the table of great broodmares under his dam
Columbine, bat the error still remained in the "list" of
Electioneer. That it was overlooked in ihat was not
surprising, but that the erroneous time should bj given
in California is somewhat of a surprise.

In compiling the Palo Alto catalogue for 1SSS it was
given 2: 16£, though in those which preceded it the correct
record was given. "We called attention to the error when
the catalogue was published, and hence a good deal sur-
prised that the wrong time should have been given in the
Breeder and Sportsman in a table containing a list of
the get of Electioneer which appeared last week. It
came from copying from other sources without proper
scrutiny. It may appear a trivial matter to those not
conversant with trotting, to add a quarter of a second to
the record of a horse, but in reality it is of great import-
ance when the chaDge is made from 2:16^ to 2:165.

In addition to the error in the record of Anteeo, there
is the omission of Whips, due to the 6anie cause. "When
Whips trotted on the Bay District course in 2:27£, every
condition was fulfilled, and if he is not entitled to the
record neither is Sable Wilkes to the record of 2: 18. Now
if we are to be governed by faulty tables published thou-
sands of miles from here, in place of accepting evidence
which is presented at home, and in relation to home
horses, we will rebel. There is a picture of Anteeo in
the office to which we shall append a card whereon in
big figures will be 2:16£.

With the advent of the New Year we have recovered
so much that a little slow work can be given. For six
weeks we could not write a line. More than that,
there was a vigorous blockade against any one coming
into the room, and an embargo, as it may be termed,
against reading anything that would turn thoughts
towards the business of the office. Something of a
deprivation at first, as even the daily papers were
taboced, but as we resume acquaintance with the brain-
children of Fielding, Sruollet, and Sir Walter Scott,
grasped the whole-souled "Pickwick" by the hand and
enjoyed the quips, conceits and shrewd s.tyings of Sam
Weller there was no lack of compiny. Nearly a blank,
however, in what was transpiring in the busy world, and
complete ignorance of that portion, the microcosm of
horses.

In the last number of the Breeder and Sportsman
there was a note, uader the above heading, in which was
the following sentence: "In all probability we will have
all the available information in reference to the genuine-
ness of Waxy's record in time for the next issue of the
Breeder and Sportsman."

We have no knowledge who the seeker after the
information is, but whoever made the promise is Dot
aware of the task it would be to present evidence satis-
factory to those who are so stubbornly opposed to thor-
oughbred blood in trotters. There is not a reasonable
doubt of Waxy being thoroughbred, and there is little
question that the fact could be established so as to
remove it beyond uncertainty. Many years ago we
investigated it far enough to satisfy ourselves of the
genuineness of the claim. At that time we were
employed on the California Spirit of the Timet, and in
the back numbers we found a note of the purchase of the
mares, and that the purchaser had started with them
across the plains for California. Writing entirely from
memory it may be that some minor things are forgotten,
but as to the main question we have the utmost confidence
in the recollection. Mr. Welsh, the purchaser, died on
the plains, and the horses were brought here by the men
who were assisting him .

There were three thoroughbred mares, one by Lexing-
ton, one by Revenue and one by imported Sovereign.
They were sold, Mr. Winters getting the Revenue ^nare,
James L. Eoff the Sovereign mare, tha purchaser of the
Lexington mare we have forgotten. It maybe tha*
neither Mr. Winters or Mr. Eoff bought them at the first
sale, as that point we cannot recall, though we had sev-
eral conversations with Eoff, and have an indistinct
recollection that the Lexington and Sovereign mares ran
a race on Eoff's track. The Revenue mare was Addie C,
the dans of Ballot- Bos, Connor, Narcola and several
others, and her sons and daughters are proving them-
selves to be producers.

It would be a big job to "hunt up" the evidence pre-
sented in the California Spirit^ and a man might work a
week without discovering all the paragraphs and arti-
cles in Telation to these mares.

It was a very large sheet then, and never wasindexedp
and so little care has been taken of the files that many

years are missing, and very likely the volumes which
were in the office are not there now. On several occas-
ions we had to search for the information wanted in un-
bound volumes stuck all over a back room, thrust into
holes, and so deeply covered with dust that it was evi-
dent that they had lain there from the year of publica-
tion.

Even after the search had been rewarded by the dis-
covery of a history of the purchase aud transfer to Cali-
fornia, of the man or men who sold them in Ke a lucky
the description and st»Ie in San Francisco, as published
in our papers, this would not 03 received as full evi-
dence oy those who are determined to follow the steps
of the old Scotchman who proudly boasted, "I wunna
be convinced." Affidivits would be ruled out as in lha
case of Arab, when those of the breeder and several
others were thrown aside, and more weight given to the
testimony of one man who was in a situation wherein
be might have been deceived.

Mr. Wallace has an undoubted right to adopt "rules
of evidence" for admission into his register, and should
he require tha* when an unirutl was foUed it should be
accurately scauned before a notary public or some high
public functionary qualified to administer oaths, who
should give a certificate embellished with a broad seal,
before he wo nld give it a place, no one could dispute his
authoriiy. We do not fii'd fault with Mr. Wallace, in
fact, we approve of the stringent rules he ha? adopted
to guard against fraud. But we do reprehend the
universal carping, the unfairness, to sum it up in a few
words, the contemptible methods employed by those who
hesi'ate at nothing to atta:u their en Js. The breeding
of Waxy nas never been questioned, if it had it is of little
importance. That she was racing-bred muse be admit-
ted. Her daughter Alpha was fast enough aud game
enough to beat the great Joe Daniels in a hard race of
five heats, and as her granddaughter Sunol "approxi-
mates \ery closely the form of the thoroughbred," it
must have been iuhe'-ittd from her granduam.

Wo are "tired," to use a slang phrase, of these constant
attacks on trotting pedigrees which contain thoroughbred
blood, and now we feel like turniag it oyer to the critics.

Prove that Waxy is not a thoroughbred. This should
be an easy matter when so many horses are claimed to
have been dethroned in that way. Should Governor
Stanford (we had written Senator, but prefer thq title by
which nearly every man, woman and child in California
Knows him), desire to trace the pedigree of Waxy we
will aid him all we can. It is of little consequence to
him to prove what is generally conceded, by further
testimony merely to settle the quibbles of a few. There
are so many illustrations of the value of thoroughbreds
in fast trotters nowadays that there is no necessity for
going to extra expense and trouble when, as in this case,
that is the only bearing it has.

More About Waxy.

Since writing the above we have visited the office and
learued from Mr. Waugh what information he obtained re.
garding Waxy, and the following is a brief statement of the
facts:

Mr. Anderson arrived in San Francisco with three fillies,
two of which were bays and one a sorrel. The first of these
was Addie (J., who was purchased by Theodore Winters; the
second was Lillie Hitchcock, bought by James Eoff, while
the third, the sorrel, was Waxy, who fell* to the bid of Wil-
liam Woodward. Mr. Anderson had a public sale of these
fillies, the auction place being then known as the Willows,
about where 17th Street is now. As Waxy was the only tilly
of her own color that was sold that day there could be no
changing of horses, and consequently the evidence most re-
main undisputed that Waxy is Waxy.

We also learn that Governor Stanford is taking steps to get
all the evidence that is possible to gather at this day. There
is plenty now to establish her right to be incoiporated in the
American Slud Book, and no fair-minded man would gainsay
the right under the testimony.

We do not find fault with Mr. Wallace for adopting strin-
gent rules to govern admission in bis Stnd Book, but we do
object to carrying them beyond the letter of the law when
thoroughbreds come into a trotting pedigree. In the Arab
oase the Board of Censors are to blame, and, as we under-
stand it, that also controls the Stnd Book.

No one is more ready to acknowledge the great services o*
Mr. Wallace, and in all our acquaintance, and that is quite
extensive, we do not know of another man who wcold not
have succumbed to the obstacles he met, especially at the
commencement of his work.

Among the Redwoods-
CHAPTER VIII.

AX INTERRUPTED ROUTINE.

The ordinary Sunday at Myrtle Heights was, as we have
already learned, a phenomenally quiet day, when flies could
buzz and birds could sing without fear of disturbance. Bu*
the one following the arrival of Mr. Selden's guests took on
a different aspect, and seemed (to borrow Mrs. Morrison's
vigorous expression) to have been planned in the workshop
of "old NicK."

For a begiuning, things in her own little home had gone
awry since daybreak, and promised to keep on in the same
way until nightfall. Tom having, through the potent influ-
ence of a too liberal amount of whisky, thrown off his super-
abundant spiriiB. was no* very repentant and decidedly mel-
ancholy over his lost opportunity for advancement. Some
of the woeB that pressed upon him he might have foigotteu
while sitting with his pipe in the snnshine, had Dot his wife
been ever at hand to remind him of her own and Tommy's
wants, and prophesy that they should certainly find them-
selves a burden on mother unless he looked to it aud mended
his ways. From which it may be gleaned that although Mary
had made up her mind to be good to him she conla not rid
herself of the idea that these discouraging remarks were a
necessity to a conversion. On the principle, 1 infer, that if
one be born with a predilection for going downward tying
weights to his feet will help him up.

With these particular views Tom evidently did not sympa-
thize, for he remarked to his mother at tne first opportunity:
"What's the good o' ding dongiu' a feller all the time. I
feel like kickiu' myself now; but that's the difference between
a man and a woman, a man's satisfied to kick himself, a
woman always wants to kick somebody else."

Tom. yon see, did not realize that in the eyes of his, wife
he had fallen from a height.

Of course Mrs. Morrison, albeit a member of the sex con-
demned tor harboring propensities toward indiscriminate cas-
tigation, saw immediately the correctness of her son's reas-
oning— she had Dot been a mothtr else— and resolved that
to-morrow should behold Tommy clothed auew, even to shoes
and stockings. A perfect understanding of her grandson's
peculiarities kept har f rom aunounc;ngthis resolution, which
was well, since the contemplated addition of suoe-iaDd stock-
iogs might so far have overcome Tommy's discrttioo, as to
have made him add a burst of sobs to the general unpleasant-
ness.

So much, at least, the small community was paved, and
Tommy went his way boisterously, rejoicmg in the possession
of two twanty-five cent pieces, given him by his uncle Frank
and George before their departure for Santa Cruz. These he
made the mistake of jingling and throwing in the way of his
uncle Rob, who, of all the family, was most thoroughly given
over to ''Auld Nickie Veu" this morning, until he Darrowly
escaped a shaking.

I tnink Tommy must have experienced great delight from
having been born to a family whose every member assumed
the privilege of helping him along the road to well doing. So
much and so openly manifested interest could not fail to make
an impression. But it is to be feared that Tommy failed iu
appreciation of the blessings accorded him; at, any rate he
evened inequalities through the use of a clever tongue that
did duty now by calling after Rob as he took the milk pail
and went out to milk Be^s:

■*I know what's the matter with you, Uncle Rob. You're
afraid Miss Erl won't look at you now, because the gentle-
men's come."

Rob went on doggedly, though, never heediog, and his
mother followed, with glad thoughts of the quiet, clean
kitcheo awaiiing her.

Everything was in place as she had left it the Dight before,
and while touchiug a match to the fire and pulling up the
shades she felt some ot the customary, philosophical com-
posure returning, and when Erl came in with the usual warm
greetiog the earth seemed to be turning properly again.

An earth, however, regulated by human moods would
never turn long in the right direction, and Mrs. Morrison
began to lose her clear grasp of things while Witching the
young girl take her way to Bess around whose horns she
twioted a long spray of wooobine. It was a pretty group
they formed, Erl, Rob, Xestor and the gentle Jersey ; yet it
made the mother's heart ache, for she noted how foolishly
animated her soo became, and wondered that he could not
see how lacking in everything except true friendliness Earl's
attentions were.

So wrapped was she in her thoughts while going mechani-
cally through the morning's tasks that Mr. Selden came to
the inner door and spoke twice before she beard him.

"I am very sorry, Mrs. Morrison/' he said hesitatingly,
pushing his eyeglasses with one hand and buttoning and un-
buttoning his cjat with the other, "but Mr. Wells complains
of not feeling quite well."

Instantly, nuw that her aid was required she became her
practical, active self.

"Aches and paiDS," she said quickly, "aches and pains
from trampin' through the wet."

"I think so. It is really unfortunate we have no spirits iD
the house."

"Don't need 'em," she said with decision. "Hoarhound
tea and a good warm bed 11 take off ackes o 'that kind a good
deal sooner than whiskey, and leave nothin' after it."

' Oh, but it is such frightfully bitter stuff, Auntie Morri-

sod, ' said Erl, preceding Rob with his pail of foamiDg milk.

"Yes, and the gentleman is not in bed, he is dressed and

about. I thought peihaps Robert might go down to the

hotel and get something."

"Dressed and about," repeated Mrs. MorrisoD, ignoring
altogether the latter part ot Mr. Solden's remark. "If *hat
aiutjnsthke a man. Where have you got him? In that
- froot hall I suppose, that haiDt bo much as had the window
open thismorninp, and no tire for f*eat knows howloDg. Pet
you just luht up the fire in the sittin' room, and Rob run
across and bring me a handful o' hoarhound out o' the back
yard."

Erl sped away and Rob began to mutter something about
Snnday and every other day "gittin' to be jest alike," but was
silenced by a look from his mother that niado him forget all
lesser things ttmu the immediate necessity for hoarhound.

&.rs. Morrison having thus declared herself mistresB of the
^♦nation, Mr. Selden took himself back to his guests think-
in^ that nfier a little while, perhaps, Richard and he would
=; ;dle the horses and ride over to Lorenzo. There is noth-
,: more deceptive that the silent acquiescent moti; be seein-
y yields to argument while resolving on future operations,
z. leaves you none the wiser.

rer it might affect the others, Philip was many de-
es more comiprfable in /root pf £he sjtripjj room tire. For

after all the season was spring, not summer, and the night
damps were yet heavy and chill.

He was in that half feverish, half drowsy state which made
the mere snapping of the wood fire and its warm glow on
books and pictores soothing and grateful. Dick's rallying
and Mr. Selden's prescriptions produced do further effect
than a slow movement of the lips intended for a smile, but
failing t i reach the proper poiot, and when they took them-
selves off to breakfast he settled back io his chair and tried
nappiDg. As often falls out though in such cases the inten-
tion was easier than the occomplishment, and a slight tap on
the door which announced somebody's interest was a health-
ful diversion. He made aB much haste as possible to open
it, and at once forgot his aching shoulder id contemplation
of Erl's bright face.

"I am sorry to disturb you," Bbe said, turDing her beau-
tiful eyes full upoo him, "but Auulie Morrison insists that
von must drink thiB," holding up a Chinese bowl of steam-
ing liquid.

"It is horribly bitter Istuff; I have taken quantities of it
though."

"Have vou? Then I shall follow suit, even though it were
hemlock."
She came in and he closed the door.
"It's hot," he said, atter the first sip.

"I know it is that is one virtue. "Would you — would you
like me to go out?"

"No. Miss Selden, no. If yon do 1 must surely drop down
dead after the very rext taBte of this Macbeth draught. Do
you fancy it is cool enough now?"

"Almost," she aDswered, t.ikiDg up her favorite positioo at
the window, outside of which stoo.i Nestor begging in his
pathetic dog fashiou to be noticed.

"Please turn your back, Miss Selden," said Philip reso-
lutely.

She laughed and pressed her face clo^e against the wiudow.
There was a short silence, then he came and showed her
the empty bowl.

"Yon are very good," she said, takiog possession of it,
"bnt how warm and uncomfortable you look."

"I am," he said, in a would-be tragical tone, wiping his
6ilky, blonde moustache, and noting how the light brought
out the brown tints in her dark hair. "You surely are Dot
going away now?"

"Oh. ves, but in about an hour I shall bring you Borne
toast."

"An hour! I'm really a wretched fellow to leave alone
when I do not feel well, Miss Selden. You see I have a
mother aod siBter."

*'Fhenit wiil be unbearable for you to-day," said Erl
honestly, "for 1 heard papa and Mr. Foite plan a ride. Per-
haps I had better ask them to stay here." Sbemoved quickly
toward the door.

'•Not for a thousand worlds. Miss Selden," said Philip,
wondering what Dick would think if he heard him. "It
would be unpardooably selfish to spoil their whole day. If
you can maDage to look in upon me once in a while and tell
me how many of these fishing tbiDg& it will be safe to baudle
I think I will pnll through." .

"I will certaiDly do the beBt I cao," said Erl, as she closed
the door.

Her timidity of yesterday had, in a measure, woro away,
and the wonderful free-masoDry that unites two people whose
ages aTe close together (Pnilip was only foir years older town
Bhe) operated to form a mutual ground of communion. If,
under this, hidden from both by its subtle quality, ran the
deeper, more magnetic current whose business it is to join
souls — whether bouIs will the union or not— it was no more,
as yet, than a sensation of complete happiness and an urgent
desire for each othei's presence.

Large natures, though, never yield readily to selfish claims,
aud Erl went about her duties as regularly as it no active lit-
tle current were all the time inventing excuses to permit her
to look in upon Philip. From large experience Bbe had
learned that new members in a household meant added labor
for the one who managed it, and without Btoppi g to ques-
tion, or to discus?, she did so much, and performed it with
such deftness that Mrs. Morrison's tasks were reduced to
their usual dimensions; and knowing how the matron's henrt
was attached to the Suaday lecture she must lose to-day, it
ooly seemed just to spend the chief part of the morning with
her. I am not sure, but that this might even have length-
en* d itselt out into the major part of the day had not Mrs
Morriscn interposed,

"Come Pet," she said, settling herself by the kitchen win-
dow with her Bible and spectacles. "Come Pet, you've dooe
done enough for me now. Just look iu and see if the gentle-
man wants anything in the way n' tea and toast, and then
take a bit o' rest yourself. If he is easy you need not trouble
to come back."

Philip did not need anything just then, he said, but some
company, and before Erl could be gone, had she so desired,
he began questioning hor about the fishing apparatus in the
room. The passion she entertained for this recreation man-
ifested itself clearly in her replies, and Philip's delight in her
knowledge of his favorite Bport was not to be measured by a
small compass.

Together they reached down from a snug cjroer closet
with glass doors box after box of flieB and leaders, and rid-
ding the table of its load of books, spread the artificial in-
sects out for inspection .

The small English flies, since grown so popular amoDg
California fishermen, were not then well koown, and thiB col-
lection showed a motley variety of gaudy, heavy affairs, ele-
phantine in dimensions and pretentious iu t\ing.

Erl from her outdoor life wa3 fairly posted in regard to
the insect world, and joioed heartily in Philip's laughter
over some of the most pronounced specimens bef re them.

"I have just such a lot," he said, eyeing a col jssal inngle-
cock. "Aod what is worse, speDt about three years iu using
them. Dick set me straight. He's a rare hand with a rod."
"I think these would please him better, then," said E:I,
takiDg from her writing desk a small tin box which with its
contents, had been presented to her by an Eoglishmao who
had accepted their hospitality for two or three days the sum-
mer before.

She took of the lid and drew out several exquisitely tied,
wee flies, and placed them ou the table beside the larger
ones.

"David aod Goliath," said Philip, laughing. 'Ypb, these
are right. You must let me replace the worn ones before I
go back. What do you think of a trout's ability to detect
aiffereDces io flies?"

"I have thought so much about it that my conclusion is,
I know nothing," answered Erl, taking out two old casts and
examining them. "Shortly after these Dew flies fame I had
an experience that would almost dannl any one. There was
a small brown fly on the water, and my cast, in conse-
quence, was made up of two haokles and a turkey brown,
and with it I fished until hope, patience and everythiDg
but temper deserted me, and Dot a trout could J coax up,

In a sheer spirit of wantonness I took off that ca?t, and put
on one of three Yellow Sallys, and from that time until the
shadows began to fall my luck was extiemely good. At this
hour came a cessation; I went back to my brown cast and my
luck returned. Do you suppose the light had anything to do
with it? It was a very sunny day, and I fancied afterward
that perhaps the brown files took on too much red
in the brightness, and that the yellow ones appeared darker
than they were."

"But were there any yellow flies about?"
"Not that I could see, and papa aDd I had been roamiDg
the woods days and days in search of botaDical apecimeDs,
so it would seem I could not have missed them."

"It was a curious esperieoce; though, I expect all fisher-
men have had at least one to matoh it. I have often wished
I could be a trout under somebody's flies for just ten m-n-
uteB, so I could answer one or two questions intelligently.
Did you notice the shape of the fly on the water — the natural
fly?"

"Yes, and under the microscope it was not very like either,
though it leaned just a little to the yellow sally."

"It has always seemed to me," said Philip, expressing an
idea freely to Erl that he would never have dared own be-
fore Dick aod his other fishing friends. "It has always
seemed to me that size and form have much more to do with
the luring qualities of a fly than color, because light, and a
medium like water might affect a particular shade very
markedly, but form, even though magnified is still form, and
would be found to retain its chief characteristics. Of courBe,
I do not suppose recklessness would be a good thing in re-
gard to either, but my leanings are toward form."

■'While I, you see, argued from the opposite premise, and
thought color responsible for my good luck aud bad. I was
even reckless. It appears almoBt impossible to see from any
but an individual standpoint. Color always impresses me,
and, naturally I thought it must impress trout."

"Perhaps it would— the artistic ones," Baid Philip, with a
meaning look that brought a swift wave of color to Erl's
cheeks. She recovered quickly, however, and said:

"The remark you made about the possioility of form being
magnified woula seem to be an argument for small flies."

"Oh, that's a favorite thought of mine,'1 said Philip, bal-
ancing a huge red and white coachman in his fingers. "I
believe all the arguments are against large flies excepting for
the very roughest of water. Once in awhile on a lake when
the surface is all broken up into waves trout will take large
flies with avidity, but the very next day let a calm fall and
they will run from them. Why imagine a great affair like
this coming down on the water. If I were a trout it would
frighten me to death."

"But you are Dot, you see." Baid Etl, smiling, "ami there
is just what ails all our theories. It is so amusing to me in
readiDg an angler's book to come upoo passages written with
just as much assurance as though the writer were a trout,
and perfectly familiar with the water medium."

"A chance for a very bad puD," said Philip, "but out of
respect to my aDgliog bretjren 1 forbear. Another thing 1
never could see auy sense id, was the argument that flies for
a certain locality, muBt be exact counterparts of the flies on
the water. Naturally the supposition is that troot will take
what they know aud like best; but how can auy one tell that
a change might not be desirable? If trout only took what
they knew a great many would run the risk of starving, for
in every locality flies are apt to change from year to year,- as
the conditions that tend to their production varv."

'Then you think flies made up after my fancy pattern^are
just as good as those copied trom natural models?"

"Pardon me, I did not say that, aDd I could not, because
in imitating nature man is so ofteu a bungler that even with
a good pattern he goes astray, and to thiuk np ao original
iDsect is something of an ait. for the reason that the head of
one fly and the wings of another do not go well together.
Once in a while there comes along a clever, naturalist fisher-
man who can evolve a well-proportioned and takiDg iDsect
from his brain, but the reverse holds. And trout sometimes
evince great cleverness in such matters. Is this the gut you
use?" taking up a thread and running it through his fiDgers.

"Yes; it is Dot very satisfactory though, and many of my
leaders break at the knots."

"That's because the gut is worn in tying. This is too
heavy for the little flieB, Do you know anything about
knots ?"

"Not very much. I manage to get my flies od, but am
quite ignorant about tying leaders."

"Some day may I have the plejsure of teaching you how?"
asked Philip, lookiog at her loog ringers.

"Yes, indeed. And now, Mr. Welle, since you intend to
be kind to me I Bhall he kind to you and put away this litter,
for you must rest on the louuge until dinner."

Erl was moved to this sensible course by noting that Phil-
ip's eyes were too bright and his cheeks too flashed for per-
fect health. And from time to time he moved his shoulders
in a way which testified that the morning's draught had not
fully done its work.

"But you will go away again if I do," he said, lookiog up
appealingly.

"Certainly," she answered, helping him replace the books
and boxes.

"I'll agree on one condition; that you Bing something like
you did last Dight, before you go."

"That will be a pleasure," she said brightly, openiDg the
doors into the nest room and seating herself at the organ.

One after another she sang the sweet, old hymns, so hal-
lowed with associations for us all; and Phdip listened and
likened her to St. Cecilia, and thought many other things too
romantic and too extravagant for a steady, grave pen io

San Ibancii-co, Jao. 1, 18S9.

The French Angler.

DuriDg the siege of Paris, in spite of the shelU that sang
overhead and of the Prussian sentinels on the lookout lor a
mark, a great many of these bold sportsmen risked their
lives outside the city fortifications, aud weDt taquiner le
goujon on the banks of the Seine. These are the enthusias-
tic aDglers who coont the days aud niebts to the opening
day, aud who pass the off season in a state of sei tied melan-
choly. These are the men who know every inch of the riv-
er's bank, and the bolet> in which the quarry lies hid, aud
who stand motionless hour afier hour, holdiug their b.'eath,
heedless of rain, wind aod suo, half mesmerized by the pen-
tle bobbing of the float on which their eyes are fixed. They
will pass the night UDder a haystack iu order to secure at the

tench, the barbel, the carp, the perch, and the pike are all
welcome to the angler's paste or maggot, for fly fishing he
considers frivolous, and as requiring a skill that is out of
place iD so serious a pursuit. But although the net has al-
most swept the French rivers clear of fish, it is against the
modest angler that the law has fulminated its edicts. The
fisherman may not make use of more than one line, and may
only have one book at the end of that line; he may not put
his rod on the ground, but must hold it in his hand; he is
bound to leave the river at sunset and may not begin to fish
till sunrise.

TRAP.

A Straight Hundred.

Ohio, not satisfied with the number of Presidential
candidates it has elected, on Chris'mas Day in Lbe person
of Mr. Al Candle stepped in and in au apparently easy man-
ner, defeated the world famous shot. Captain A. H. Bogardns,
and in doiug so broke the world's shooting record by scoring
100 live birds straight, to the Captain's almost equally remark-
able record of 95. Between thirteen hundred and fifteen
hundred lovers of the sport witnessed the shooting, and
acted very impartially in applause, crediting the champion,
Bogardns, when a good shot was made, equally as welt as the
Cincinnati wonder.

The birds were but fair as to strength of wing in the main,
in fact, poor, but among the birds sprung there were some
good hustlers. Poorer birds have been sprung, and Cin-
cinnati's lecord is the best under any established club-rule
ever made. It has never been equalled, and stands to-day as
the only straight, strictly legitimate score on record. Had
the birds been good the prospects are that the form Band e
was shooting in would have landed him where he did. He
resorted to his second barrel in the majority of cases where
it was not at all necessary, his only object apparenily being
to make sure and make good his promise made some years
ago. that if he shot at the trap loDg enough be would some
day score a straight hundred live birds from English traps.
He has Hone it, and the record made is likely to stand for
many vears to come. There is certainly nothing of the ner-
vous man about him, and if one defeats him he must do so
by merit of better judgment and knowledge of the shotgun.
Bogardns, the father of trap shooting, was surprised from the
twentieth bird on, and finished with a score that, made
against any other man, would be looked upon as phenome-
nal. Though fifty-six years of age, it is uoabtful if even
to-day he has an equal in the conntry.

When he hits his bird with the first barrel he never hesi-
tates at the score, but steps away, knowing well his bird is
sufficiently hit to be gathered in bounds safely without re-
sorting to his second barrel. Pigeon shooters that have not
witnessed a shooting match for many years were present yes-
terday to see the world's record beaten. The shooting in
detail was:

Goose Shootiug.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I believe I have on
former occasions said that about the only shootiDg we have
in this vicinity worth mentioning is dove shooting in the
Bummer with the thermometer at about 90 or 95 degress, and
goose shooting in November and December, at a somewhat
lower temperature, though generally not cold enough to make
it uncomfortable.

As a matter that may interest some of your readers, I will
give a brief outline of our last goose hunt, and then the more
fortunate of onr brother sportsmen can congratulate them-
selves on the good fortune that places them in a better game
country, and perchance sympathize with us for the misfor-
tune of being planted in a wild country, and yet one so bar-
ren of game. . .

One or two good bag* of geese having been made this sea-
son, my friend H. and I were anxious to try our luck, more
particularly a* I wunted to test the killing power of an 8-
guage, and also to try my new hammerless 10-gnage— both
Parker guns. "While H. was also desirous of knowing just
the extreme limit at which his 10th 10-guage (also a Parker),
could be counted on, so it iB quite evident we were equal to
trying long shots, and taking almost every chance that offered
in order to ascertain the range of our guns.

Starting from Walla Walla in the evening we reached
Blalock Station on the O. R. & N. railroad at 11:30 p. M.; and
as the only individual we could discover was a rather sleepy
railroad man, our chances for securing a wagon or borseB to
convey us to our destination seemed a most problematical
event. At any rate, I carried among my other things and
guns, a letter of introduction to a gentleman who would
probably help us to the full extent of his aoility in securing
sjme kind of transportation, so the next thing to be done was
to find him, and as there are ouly about 3 or 4 houses in that
entire hamlet, it seemed an easy enough task to accomplish.
Our first attempt was not in the right direction, for in re-
sponse to a prolonged and rather vigorous rapping, a female
voice in husky tones answered that ML lived in the other
house. Thither we wended our way, dreading at any moment
to insert our calves in the ever ready and widely opened jaws
of Borne hungry canine. But we didn't. So we knocked
again— and again— and when we did gain admittance, our in-
formant calmly told ue that the gentleman whom we sought
was over there at the identical place we proposed making
our headquarters. Furthermore, there was pot a buss, carf,.

wagon, or in fact any animal or conveyance that we could
secure, purchase or hirb that would carry us out, so there's
the dilemma.

H. looked at me, and I looked al H., and we both said
simultaneously, "what's to be done?" when be calmly re-
plied, "why let us walk out, its only 6 or 7 miles." Said I,
"What's the use of getting out there if we have no decoys."
Quoth he: "'Why, let us take them and our guns on our
backs, then we will havp the morning shooting." That w- s
irrefutable, so I, though very loth, acquiesced. Accordingly
we look our guns, ammunition and 10 to 20 card board decoj s
each, and off we started, leaving Blalock at about 12:30 a. m.
Our road lay through a deep canyon along a dim trail, at
any rate dim on a cloudy though moonlight n'ght; but on we
plodded, our guiding star being the anticipation of crumpling
the wary honker within a few hours.

All things have an end, so the canyon had a summit;
though three miles up a steep hill with decoye, guns and
ammunition drag themselves into so many leagues before
they are covered. On arriving at the top my friend conceived
the brilliant, though not quite novel idea, of takiuga "cat off"
as the now plainly demarbed road was not in his judgment
leading us to our destination and the feeding grouud of the
predestined geese, so we abandoned the wiuding (?) road (I
with a sigh, for I've done that before) and struck buldly out
across the prairi6 with buoyant hearts though somewhat
heavy loads, but pluck, at any rate, equal to facing a cajoie
should one show himself.

"We walked and tramped, first to the southeast, then to the
southwest. We marched along in almost every direciinu, yet
alas! the house we assiduously looked for appeared not in
the gloom. Besides all this, several innoc.nt though mis-
leading hay stacks enticed us out of our course, and yet the
friendly smoke stick did not bob up serenely, though we
must have plodded on and on at leaBt ten to fifteen miles.
At any rate we won't quibble about the distance, hours came
and went, and so did we. Hours weie made for slaves and
we were making Blaves of ourselves. See! When at last my
sturdy companion espied in the distance what to him ap
peared a house, so instead of yelling in tragic words, "A sail!
a sail! ! ! we merely said, "We hope to the Lord it is a shack."
Unfortunately a broad belt of recently ploughed land inter-
vened, but what is a mile or so of rough walking after houis
of uncertainty. Pshaw! we just skimmed over that field,
and then the chase commenced, for although we walked
straight for the house, still it seemed to recede in proportion
as we advanced, until at length we saw a light in the window.
Then we launched forward and fairly ran that honee down,
reaching it at about 5 a. m , hungry, tired, sleepy, jaded,
sore-shouldered, but in good spirits, and just in time for
breakfast. The first thing we asked was how about the
geese? Where do they feed? Are they wild? Have they
been shot at over decoys? and so on ad infinitum, to all of
which we received rather vague though somewhat reassuring
answers.

Well, we ate our morning meal, shouldered our guns,
decoys and a spade, aud off we went merry as larks, though
not quite so fleet in onr movements. We dug onr pits in a
huge 6tubble Geld, placed our much-carried and precious
decoys where we thought they wouli do U6 most good, and
calmly awaited results.

Socn we heard the "ab-hunk," the melodious soul-stirring
note proceeding from the outstretched neck of the classical
goose, and presently our eyes were gladdened by the sight of
a band making for our decoys. On they came, guided by
I the wily old leader, whose trumpet call had sent a thrill
through our veius; and on they came, closer and closer until
within sixty yards, when they at once realized themselves
to be the victims of some optical delusion or practical joke,
for they wheeled with wondrous rapidity, each flap of their
powerful wings carrying them further and further away.

Bather late, all the same, for three fell never to honk or
flap any more, and that was the beginning, many repetitions
of which left th, when the flight was over, with eleven fine
geese as reward for our long-drawn tramp to these pits.

The nest morning we chanced our ground and succeeded
in killing 12 more, so that in two days we killed 28 geese,
securing only 23, five being lost, three the first day and two
on the second, and thus ends the goose bunt for 1888.

Nlw as to guns. My friend H. killed several birds at over
80 yards and one wing-tipped goose at over 100 yards. For
my part I used the 10 hammerless on the first day and killed
several birds away off, using Schultze powder and No. 3
chilled shot in first barrel and black powder and same size
shot in second. My friend used No. 3 shot and black powder
all through.

In the 8 guage I used 6 drams and 7 drams of F Deadshot,
aud 2 ounces of chilled No. 3 and some loads of soft Is, same
powder charge, and although I killed several gtese at over
100 yards, yet my powder was so coarse and consequently
slow (not F G bnt single F) that I got behind many birds
that I ought to have .killed. Then agaiD, a 13.1-lb. 34-inch
bairel gun is rather heavy to swing when one is cramped up
in a pit, so all in all I would have done just as well with my
9 2-10 hammerless, as "my time" would have been better all
the way through.

The great truth, however, was that these geese had been
shot at a good deal over decoys, so that only one flock bowed
their wings when coming m, while all the others flew well up
and away, so that one's shooting was about all at from 60
yards and over.

I learned one thing, i. e. a big gun when loaded with black
powder is not a bit belter than a smaller one, for although
the first shot is more effective, yet the smoke is so dense that
the second don't count much, while a 10-gauge loaded with
Schultze iB away ahead of an 8 loaded with black. But en S
with Schultze in first barrel would be splendid, and that's
what f would have used if I had been able to procure a
crimper for it in paper shells, but I couldn't in time, so I
loaded with black powder, and as the weather was cloudy,
and foggy most of the time, my big gun did not help me as
much as it might if properly loaded, and I must confess,
directed, for I certainly missed a good many shots from being
twisted up in a small pit where I could not handle so heavy
aud long a gun with comfort. I still believe that an 8 gauge
with Schultze powder is just the thing for goose shooting,
and next time I will verify my present ideas on that subject.
Walla Walla, December 28, 1S8S. Gaucho.

Kifle shooting has been very dull, in fact the loci] club ii
about dead, but I have hopes of a revival. The military lifie
shots of this city have done well the past yeur. At the State
shoot. Company B, 2d Regiment, M. V. M., (Springfield City
Guards), won the State trophy for seven men, 6even shots
each, with the totnl of 200 points. This the stcond cons^ c -
five year this company has won it. Last year their total whs

marksmen to Europe next[summer. and if the English author-
ities will allow the use of the Buffington rear wind guage
right, a team will undoubtedly be sent. Major James P.
Frost of Boston, has it in hand, and whenever the Major
takes hold of anything he makes it a gloriuus success. He is
cne of the best shots in the State and is a favorite with the
r flemen.

The Smith & Wesson Revolver Club have recently put in
rifles at their pistol gallery, and the attendance is much in-
creased thereby.

Nice members of the Kod and Gun Rifle Club were the
guests of the Broad Brook, (Conn.) rifle team, where ihey
spent a day very pleasantly and were rovally enteriaine.i.
The clvb has invited the Broad Brook team here early in tho
new year, when they expect to lay themselves out to give the
visitors a good time, both socially as well as at the butts.

T. T. Cartwright, the rifleman of this city, has had au offer
to locate in the West and may decide to do so, but wants to
wait until the matter of sending a Massachusetts State team
to England is decided upon.

Mr. John P. Clahrough of Birmingham, England, who is
well known in your city, writes a friend in this city that he
expects shortly to again visit America.

The city has fixed over the oil Connty Jail for an armory
for the two militia compmies. They have a very nice place
aud two new rifle galleries ouderuenth, one 140 feet, and one
64 feet.

Pol"> has been the craze Lerc, but as the rink was used as
a toboggan slide, and the toboggan man wanted 82,000 to
move, the Polo teim has therefore moved to New Bedford.

There is likely to be a change in the officers of the local
militia companies from promotions. The City Guards have
had the same officers for 10 years which speaks well for offi-
cers and men. C.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earlier jnospi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
in their kennels. In all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr. Charles Kerr, a prominent farmer and horseman of
Kern, called upon us last week, and stated that he had in-
vited Mr. George Allender to put up at his place with his
string of dogs. Mr. Walter is located nicely near the town
with bis dozen dogB, and Mr. De Mott is with that prince of
sportsmen, Hon. D. M. Pyle at Mountain View Dairy about
fifteen miles from the town.

The dogs are all doing well and the trainers are sanguine.
The weather in Kern county during January is perfect, the
days being bright and sunny without wind, and the rights
cool and invigorating. Beside the pleasures incident to the
trials proper, the local members of the Knights of the Trigger
have arranged a series of social entertainments, aud the week
will wind up with a grand shooting tournament, a feature
which will attract that nervy company of splendid shotf,
Frank Bassford, Frank Coykendall, Major Kelloge, Joseph
Delmas, Anstin Sperry, Doctor Knowles. Will De Vaull,
Henry Hopper and all the rest. More solid pleasure is cen-
tered in field trial week than in all the rest of the year.

Sixty-one gentlemen have already signified their intention
to be present. Among them Messrs. Wm. Suhreiber, Ramon
Wilson, Mr. Streaton, Mr. Sutro, Mr. Boyd, an.l many
other keen sportsmen who have not bitherio been counted
among those sure to be present. The list should include
Will Kittle, Clarence Haight, David Thorn, John Stack, Ed.
Bosqui, John Adams, Will Berry, E. W. Briggs, and scoies of
other fine shots and enthusiastic fanciers of Betters and point-
ers. None who once attend a field trial will ever after be con-
tent to be absent.

Mr. Emil Boch, at present in the city with the Pylades
troupe at the Standard, has with him a Great Dane, Moor by
name. The dog is black, with white brisket, stands 29
inches high, is two years old, and weighs 122 pounds. Mr.
Boch has owned the dog for two years, and has carried him
through Russia. Sweden, Denmark, England, Germany,
France and America, at an expense of many hundred's of
dollars. Moor is a perfect watch dog, guarding the bedside
of his owner with fidelity, and is a pleasant companion at

all times.

Inflammation of the Organs of the Chest in
the Dok-

Sprinerfleld Notes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: —The game season is
pretty near over in this State. It bas not been as plentiful
as in some years, quail being very scarce, also woodcock.
Partridges were fairly plenty, but very wild, and there are
many left over for another year. There is considerable talk
of get fine some Chinese pheasants and turning out here as
an experiment. If any of your readers oan give any Infor-
mation, on tbe subject, J would, Jike fa get it,

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— This is generally com-
plex, bronchi, lung tissue aud pleura being all more or less
involved; but the main seat of disease varies in different
oases, and it is generally the structure first invaded that is
the moBt seriously affected.

It is best to consider the three forms of chest inflammation
together, as they exhibit a number of similarities m causts,
symptoms, etc. For instance, a dog is brought to you m a
state of fever, panting hard, with a cold anJ shivering fits.
Let us first inquire into the cause. Exposure to cold, not
properly dried after a bath or a swim, not being well clothed,
or removal of his coat in cold weather, by accideuial ex-
posure on a cold night, going out on a cold day without a
rug, or imperfect kennel. So far we have nothing to specially
guide us. Some of the symptoms, too, will farther onr diag-
nosis. In bronchitis, the breathing is quick but even, und
not apparently painful. Iu pneumonitis it is quick and
oppressed. In pleurisy the expiration is prolongtd, *»ud the
inspiration sharp and jerky. Aoscultation will show a mu-
cous rale throughout the chest, as soon as bronchitis has s t
in. In pneumonia, crepitus, dullness, and Inter various
forms of rales and sibilus are present, either diffused or cir-
cumfecribed. In pleurisy there is a friction Bound and ab-
sence of sound from the lower pait of the lung, accordion
to the amount of exudation. The loss of soul) i! in

change of the position of the patient.

The above is a rough outline of the pympt<
auscultation. Further details are unnecessa:
information as to the exact extent of the diet
entirely pn the experience of the observer,

tbe different intrathoracic phenomena are bo intermingled
that each case is a problem in itself, and most be solved from
ile own indications. Cough ie present in all cases. That of
bronchitis is moist and wheezy; that of pleurisy paroxysmal,
painful and out short; and that of pneumonia occasional
aud small.

In pleurisy there is pain on pressure of the side; also
twitching of the muscles of the chest walls. The pulse is
frequent, hard and small in pleurisy, oppressed and fast in
pneumonia, frequent but generally soft in bronchitis. In
bronchitis and pneumonitis there ifi frothy expectoration,
but not in pleuri-y.

A dog afflicted with inflammation of the lungs aod pleura,
sits op with bis fore legs apart, and often in the latter stages
uf the disease, stands until he falls down to die. In pnen-
momtis the extremists become extremely cold, and the no>«
cold and very moist. In the latter stages of chest disease,
tbe patient becomes a pitiful object, emaciated, struggling
fur breath, obstinately sitting or Biandiug, tongue purple and
hanging from the mouth, and breath very offensive.

When hydrothorax sets in, the animaL is uuwilling to lie
do.vu; the hrealhing hecomes very la bore ', and tbe inier-
CRtal spaces dilated. The beatiog of the heart will likewise
aff->rJ an almost characteristic symptom of the complaint, for
tbe band placed on one side of the chest will be affected with
a kind of thrill, quile diffeient from the sensation presented
by the beating of the heart of a healthy dog.

In conseqnence of the frequency of pleurisy of ooly one
side of tli6 chest of tbe dog, cases of hydrothorax are gen-
erally much protracted.

There is a similarity in the treatment of. these disorders.
The main principle is to support the system in every possible
way, with a view to enable it to resist the ravages of disease,
and to promote th^se changes which lead to cure. Again,
though special stress is laid, upon good nursing, it mnst not
be forgotten that good cool air is a tonic and a necessity for
existence. Emetics, bleeding, drastics, and other debilitants
must be carefully avoided. Stimulants, febrifuges, with ex-
pectorants, when the lunge and bronchi are most effected,
must be freely given. Fomentations or stimulant applica-
tions to the sideB are most beneficial. Later, tonics and ab-
sorbents, such as the iodide of iron in two-grain doses, and
more powerful stimulation io the side is i> quired, and iu ad-
vanced pleurisy paracentesis thoracis. In all forms of in-
flammation of the chest, it is admissible to regulate the
bowels by mild doses of laxatives, saline or oleaginous.

But few dayB intervene between this issue and the time
when the", last car-load of enthusiasm will have started for
Bakersfield and the Field Trials. Those who wish to be
present at the draw for the Derby and to Bee the beginning of
that stake, should be in Eakeisri9ld by the evening of Janu-
ary 13th. The draw will be mane in the roomB of the
Knights of the Trigger on that evening, and an early start
had on Monday morning. The Derby will have not less than
twelve sta. ters, as good in breeding, form, held quality and
every other way as any puppies that have been moved in pub-
lic in any of the eastern trials of the winter. Pointers and
setters are about equal in number, a fact which will add to
the interest, although it must be admitted that the setters
average better in breeding than the pointers. Of the twen-
ty-four entries made on May 1, 1886, several rare good ones
have died, but enough remain to make the Derby worth go-
ing a th ueand miles to see.

The aged stake will probably draw out the best of the
Derby riogs of last year, and beside them some of the first
rate old timers that have rnn in former aged stakes. Mr.
J. M. Bassford. Jr , writes that he will probably take old
Beautiful Queen down and run her.

In some respects Queen is a-i good as any dog ever seen in
the Sta'e. She ran in the first trial of the clnb, winning
second in her own way aud beatingold Belle, a cross- bred red
bitch that is now doing regular work on snipe and grouse in
Oregon. We should much like to see a dozen of the dogB of
five or six >eats ago started in a "Veteran Stake."

Beautiful Queen, Bt-lle, Judge Post's Dido, Mr. Taft's Dorr,

Mr. Kaediny's Duke, General Cosby's Bow Jr., Eenry Bass-

ford'i Butte Bow and others might be named. Let those

who candled them at Walltown Timber in 1883 handle again,

and whether the old dogs did well or not there wonld be fun

iu >lenty. Since the meetings, of the Pacific Coast Field

t Club have grown so popular, and the attendance so

!y increased, it is impossible Io "camp ont" during the

and tbe fact is a source of discontent. The initial

..; of theclnb were to Jour notion, about right, even if

■:nted blankets were rilled with chaff', to Mr. Nick

V:'hite's pain, and Major Harnett's wig could not be found at

cock crow in the frosty mornings. There was a briskness
and a "go" about those da\ s that do not seem possible in the
more cumbrous events since then.

Letters have come during the w.ek from Messrs. Miller,
Scymonr and Weil! of Bakersrield, giving assurance that ac-
commodation for all tbe visiting sportsmen can be provided
during Field Trial season. ' A monstrous rabbit drive baa
been arranaed for January 13th, and transportation provided
for all who care to attend. After the drive a barbecue will
be made in the old-fashioned Mexican style, a style that few of
those not Califruuian by birth know anything aboot, but
which needs but to be once seen to recommend itself as most
eDJ yaule.

Mr. Fred A. Taft writes from Truckee that he has pur-
chased a fine new hickory stick with which be intends fight-
ing his way through" the rabbit drive, barbecue, trials and
everything els** ihal opposes his progress.

Mr. N. E. White will atteud the trials, and if he and Uocle
Taft Can be induced to p<_ol issues for the campaign, they
will be freely baikel as a model team, to kill more rabbits,
destroy more beet, drink more tea or whatever there is. and
crowd more quiet blisbful eu joy men t into the wtek at Bakers-
field tban any other two participants.

Those who can do bo should go to Bakersfield a few days
before tbe trial aud spend the time in shooting, and becom
ing acquainted with the splendid country surrounding that
favored town. Field trials lose much of their charm if per-
mitted to d< generate into barren races for the coiu in sight,
with the almost invariable concomitants of such racing, joc-
keying and like evils. Alter all is said the chief end of sport
as of all else, is to better the man by contributing most gen-
erously to his gratification and pleasure a id there are many
who would rather enjoy a field trial with ordinary dogs than
to pass discontentedly through one in which the competing
animals were all Gladstones or Roderigo'a,

We urge the reading of Doctor Bowhill'a BUpeilatively good
delineation of iufiammation of tbe respiratory tract, which
appears in another column. It is one of the best of his
many skilful differentiations.

Some Timely Hints.

The winter season in California is peculiar, in that it gen-
erally gives rise to a train of kennel dit-eases, some of them
almoBt invariably fatal. Iutestiial ills are most common,
and a peculiarly acute dyseuiery the particular trouble which
generally decimates local kennels. It will serve a good pur-
pose to give some hints by Dr. J. F. Perry, (AsbmoDt), the
befit authority we know on caoiue diseases. That author
says:

The term dysentery is used to denote an inflammation of
the large intestines, accompanied by mucous and bloody dis-
charges fum the bowels. In mild cases the inflammation is
Dot severe and may be confined to the rectum. In severe
attacks of the disease the ii<flammation is not only intense
but extensive, involving the greater part of the large intestine,
the mucous membrane of which becomes reddened, swollen
and ulcerated. The ulcers are greater or less in number,
some being small and others of considerable size.

Causation — Excesses in eating, food decomposed or improp-
erly cooked, foul drinking water, exposure to cold and rain
storms are among tbe generally recognized causes. In many
cas-s it is not easy to i race the origin of the disease under
o nBideration to any obvious agency.

Symptoms — The affection is generally preceded by a diarrhoea
of a variable duration with which some pain has been asso-
ciated. The appetite lessened and the manner dull and list-
less. The development of the disease is denoted by char-
acteristic discharges, consisting of mucus with which more
or lesn blood is miugled. The effort to move the bowels is
frequently made, and the quantity passed at each act is gen-
erally Bmall. Slight evacuations may take place every hour
and even much oftener.

The quantity of mucus expelled is in some instances quite
abundant and appear in jelly-like masses, for which the pop-
ular term is slime. Sometimes fecal matter is mingled with
tbe dischaiges, but they are more commonly dysenteric in
character, consisting of mucus and blood. At times the
evacuations present a greenish color. The amount of mncus
and blood voided constitutes measurably a standard for judg-
ing the extent of the intestinal surface affected.

Pas sometimes appears in the discharges in the acute form
of the disease, but more commonly in the chronic stages.
The inflammation of the rectum occasions a sensation as if
the bowe!s| were filled, causing a desire to evacuate frequently;
the effort strained and painful.

The abdominal walls are usually retracted and tbe back
arched. The pulse is materially changed except in extreme
cases. Great frequency of the pulse denotes gravity and
danger, but the reverse does not hold good, as sometimes in
fatal cases it is but little quickened.

Fever is exceptional, although at times high. Nose hot aud
dry, tongue coated, thirst a prominent symptom. Vomiting
may occur and greenish matter be expelled. I oss of strength
varieB. In extreme cases running to a fatal termination, the
discharges become putrid, the breath offensive, re-piration
more rapid, eyes Bnnken, expression pinched and anxious.
The pulse grows weak and feeble, evaouations occur more
frequently, and at last are involuntary and beyond control of
the animal. Paralysis feems to" pervade the extremities, the
skiD becomes cold and clammy, the stench intolerable, finally
death ensues from exhaustion.

Prognosis. — The disease tends to recovery. It is a distres-
sing affection, but properly treated need seldom result fatally
provided the system has not been weakened by some previous
disease or some co-existing derangement. Exceptionally dys-
entery -ventuates in the chronic form of the disorder.

Treatment.— It is desirable that as early as possible tbe
contents of the intestines be removed. Nature evidently
endeavors to relieve the bowels by a diarrhoea, which pre-
cedas the dysenteric discharges. The treatment should
commence with an effeotive purgative; castor oil is the most
appropriate remedy in a tableBpoonful dose. Following the
oil opium must be relied on, as follows:

R. Morphias Sulph. gr. ii.

SodaBSuIphatisdrs ili.

Aq. Cinnamon oz. iii. Ft. Mist. Sig. Teaspoonful every 5
or six hours.

It will be necessary in very many oases to repeat the castor
oil, especially if fever rnanif* s»s itself or (he discharges assume
an offensive odor. The writer has had too little success in
the use of so-called astringents to advise their administration
in tbe early stages at least. When tbe discbarges assume a
character near normal but watery, then the followiog may be
given:

R. Mist. Cret.i. oz. iiiss.

Tinct. Catechu oz. sb.

Ft. Mist. Sig. DesertBpoonful every 3 or 4 hours.

Vomiting sometimes occurs as a prominent symptom at
times early in the disease, preventing the administration
of medicioes at times by the mouth. In such esse morpliine
can be given subcutaneouBly, (hypodermic) or thirty drops
landanum in starch water injected into the rectum.

The food should be bland and eatily digestable; rather
withhold it entirely than unwisely select that which is liable
to be vomited or add to the irritation.

Milk and lime water in small quantities given frequently
will be quite sufficient at first. This can be varied by giving
alternately broths, into which raw eggs have been broken .
When any diet but m Ik is allowed some form of pepsin
should be administered with tbe food.

The elixir of bark, pepsin and bismuth is an admirable com-
bination and can be given in teaspoonful doses three or four
times daily. If the symptoms indicate failure of the vital
powers, concentrated nourishment aod possible stimulants
will need to be given freely.

When the disease iB under control and convalescence com-
menced, tonics should be employed.

The beef, wine and iron at first in desertspooofnl doses
four times daily, then the elixir of Calisaja bark, iron aud
strychnia, one teaspoonful twice a day. The pepsin should
be persisted in until recovery is complete.

Treatment for Distemper.

Some suggestions as to a line of treatment for ordinary
distemper have recently been floating about through kennel
exchanges, and have received the approval of many consid-
erate dog men, among them Mr. JameB Watson, who judged
at the P. K. C. show in April, 'S3. The bints are these:

In the first place, distemper is a zymotic or self-limited
disease. It must run its course, and is as impossible to
abate as small-pox or measles.

When I fully make up my mind that a dog has distemper,
by the combined symptoms of nasal discharge and rapid
emaciation, I at once isolate the victim from his companions,
putting him in clean, dry and cool (not cold) quarterB.
Then I give four grs. (the dose for a Better) of anti-febrin
every four hours for two days, at the end of which time, in
my experience, the fever is abated. I have used aoti-pyrine,
but it has not been so successful as anti-febrin. I theu give
ten grs. (dose for a setter) of eaccharated pepsin after every
meal the dog eats, and by this treatment entirely do away
with the intestinal troubles that create diarrhoea, which in
nine cases ont of ten is the cause of death iu most cases of
distemper. If a dog is very weak and refuses food, I force
two or three raw eygs (with the pepsin afterward) per day
down his throat; aud if stimulants seem to be needed, 1 give
an ounce every three hours of some good extra dry cham-
pagne, like Mumm's or Yellow Label Cliquot.

In connection with this treatment I use pure pine-tree
tar, applied daily by a small paddle, across tbe nostrils, so
that the dog will liok it off with his tongue. The muens
that accumulates on the nose I wash off with a soft sponge,
dipped in a saturated solution of copperas. All the water
the dog drinks contains eight grains of anti-febrin to the pint.

As to the diet, I depend almost entirely on scraped raw
lean meat. The dog will generally eat this readily, and it is
the most easily digested of foods. After the crisis of the
disease is passed, and the dog is on the mend, I give a
dessertspoonful (dose for a setter) of codliver oil twice a day.

The reason for the efficacy of the above treatment is as
follows: The early stage of distemper is always accompanied
by a high fever, and anti-febrin, in my experience, reduces
the temperature iu dogs as no otber known drag will. Then
the system is left in such a we&k state that the power of
digestion is destroyed, and the pepsin performs the duty,
almost immediately stopping the diarrhoea.

In Manchuria and Mongolia a young woman's wedding
portion consists not always of bo many head of cattle, but
irequently of bo many dogs, which are to form tbe nucleus
of a dog farm, these being reared for the sake of the thick fur
with which the dogs in ihese bitterly cold regions are so ex-
cellently endowed, as indeed they would need to be, Beeing
that in midwinter the thermometer (Fahrenheit) sometimes
falls to twenty-five degrees below zero, i. e., 57 degrees of
frost. This business 13 as systematically carried on as ia that
of sheep farming in Aastralasia. The rate of reproduction
being estimated at 10 per annum; so, reckoning the
increase by geometrical ratio, it is evident that the bride who
receives a dower of a dozen of these very large long-haired
dogs is well started in life. Bat of course the majority of
these fine animals are not destined to survive their first year,
as they are full grown when about eight months eld, and
their fur attains perfection in winter, so that only those re-
quired for breeding are allowed to see the spring. All over
the northern part of these vast Mongolian and Mancburiau
teiritories these dog farms are scattered, aod there are thous-
ands in which a few hundre I dogs are annually reared for
the market, while others merely raise enough to sopply robea
and mats for home nse. There are a good many cases in
which one can scarcely afford to think of antecedents, and
certainly this slaughter of perhaps the handsomest race of
dogs in the world for the sake of their coats is peculiarly un-
pleasant.

CANOEING.

Oakland Canoe Club.

The Club haB been very active of late, there btiug a large
attendance every Saturday and Sunday. On Christmas day
there was a gathering of members only for festivities in the
club bouse, and the day was duly celebrated. A few of the
canoes went out in the afternoon, and hud some Hue sailing
in the southerly gale.

Last Sunday a number of the canoes- carrying .passengers
sailed np to the basin and landed on a tug for luncheon.
There were the Mystic, Frolic, Hebe, Gypsy. Mali, Whisper.
Pirate, Couchila and others. After enjoying tbe go id f»re all
sailed up as f"r as the Von Schmidt dredger, aod then started
for a Bcrub race home. The Frolic bad hoisted a m*w main-
sail of slightly larger size, just received from the Eist. and
very soon put a gap between herself and the lest of the fleet,
aod came in an easy winner by a long distance, she maintain-
ing her supremacy with much ease at present, aud it seems
as though Borne new cracks wonld have to be imported to do
anything with ber.

The little Mab ia doing some very fine sailing, and is mak-
JDg it warm for boats nearly twice her size. Htr skipper is
talking of a new racing mainsail.

New Year's day saw a splendid gathering at the clubhoufie,
many ladies being present. A roy*>l egg Dog was erected,-
and tbe eclipse viewed through aU varieties of glasses. The
effect of the white sails during the twilight was very pretty.
The Mayrisch badge race comes off Jan. 20th.

Continued from Page Five.
Some years ago I drove up to a stage station in the San
Pedro Valley in Arizona, and the Mexican stock tender had
had a hard time in rounding up his stage stock. His herd
pony had been run until, as he stood there under the shade
of a brash corral, covered with foam and dust, with his belly
drawn np almost to his spine and gasping occasionally as
though it was his last, I felt sure I should see him die before
I left the station. 1 was afterwards told by the stage boss
in a bluff, matter-of-course way, in answer to my inquiry,
that he had "pulled through all right; you can't kill
them critters;" and now I am perfectly positive that yon
cannot.

As a saddle animal simply, the bronco has no suparior.
The "lope" is a term which should never be applied 10 that
motion in any other breed of horses. I have watched a herd
of cow-ponies being driven over the prairie where the undu-
lations of the backs iu the moving throng were as regular and
easy as the rise and fall of the watery waves. The fox-tot,
which is the habitual g<*it of all plainsmen, cowboys, and
Indians, is easily cultivated in him, and his light, supple
rame accommodates itself naturally to the motion.

This particular American horse lays claim to another qual-
ity, which in my estimation is not le-ist, and that is his won-
derful picture*queness. fie graces the western landscape,
not because he reminds us of the equine ideal, but because
he comes of the soil, and has borne the heat and burden and
the vioissitudes of all that pale of romance which will cling
about the western frontier. As we see him hitched to the
plow or wagon he seemsaliviDg protestagainst utilitarianism;
but, unlike his red master, he will not go. Be has borne the
Moor, the Spanish conqueror, the red Indian, the mountain-
man, and the vaquero through all the glories of their careers;
but they will soon be gone, with all their heritage of galUnt
deeds. The pony must meekly ent^-r the new regime. He"
must wear the collar of the new civilization and earn his cats
by the sweat of his fLmk. There are no more worlds for him
to conquer; now he must till the ground.

Startle, the fastest of Hum bit toman Star stallions, is dead,
from ulcer iu the mouth. Foaled in 1367, he had a 3 y. o.
record of 2:36. and was sold to Robert Bonner for $20,000.

The New York Sun says:

ence of a great horse owner rather tends to make him philo-
sophical about such disasters, nod to tind recompense in the
expectations of the luiure, when he doubtless hopes to see

Terms.
One hundred dollars the season for mares engaged
before May lBt, and vim hundred ami fiity dullard I e
season a ter that date. The object ol thin ia to shorten
the time iu the stud 80 as to gi*e u betterupportuiiUy
for training before the Fall Circuit com.uences. L*nt
year it w..s the nrBt of August before ho was through,
andconflequenllyhe could not begot into condition in
time even lor the tate Fair, in this connection it
will be well to state hat there ii no deviation from
the price, and emphatically no free list. The terms
are certainly low tor a horse of the claBB of Anlevolo
and there were sev ral applications where the appli
cants expected an increase of price.

I'orin and 4 olor.

It is rare to find a h«rse of such high form, and I am
not uloue iuconaidering him as being ah nearly per-
foct a type of equine form as was ever seen iu a trot-
ling-hreu stullloi). He is si.Tt-i.-n harda ami half au
inc. ■ in height, 69 inches from point of shoulder to
point of buttock, aud weighs, in ordinary condition,
LidOpounda. He ie very muscular, limbs as good aB
tue most critical could des. re, ana as highly nuishe
as a great majority of thoroughbreds. Iu color heii
h rich seal bruwu. with lighter shading in nauks and
muzzle, blacklegs, mane and lail.Bmall Btar in fore-
head and off uin i pastern white.

Perl orm a n cea .
He has been eminently of the Improving kind. A„
a yearling he trotted in 3:. 2; two-year-old in 2:41; three
years old iu 2i23f(; four years old iu 2:19K, the fastest
recoid for a stullion of that age up to that time,
and in hiB five-year old form l.e trotted in from
2:16)4 to 2:17 In all of the four heats of the big
trot which Harry Wilkes won. Ab he only mad*
one break In this race, notwithstanding the great
speed of the contestants, he must be credited as
remarkably "steady," almost phenomenally so for
a berse of his age. Had it not been tor an acci-
dent which temporarily disabled him, it can be Ptated
with confluence that he would have trotted in 2:16or
better while he Btill ranked as a five-year-oli.

In 1887 an Injury to his left hind leg, first hurt
when a two-year old. Incapacitated him frdm trotting.
That injury was below the nnkle, and last year when
apparently entirely recovered from that, and when he
gave promise of doing better than ever before, owing
to the track being harrowed very deeply he sprained
I the suspensory ligament, bo that it was badly bowed
| about midway between ankle and hock. This was on
the 21st of August, and he was walked and jogged, at
times being quite lame, unt 1 September 19th. when
after short brushes, he was, on the llnd given two eusv
heats in z;28and 2:25, "worked out" twice a week, giv-
Ing two heats at each working in time ranging from
2:17 to 2:23. o»the6th of October I gave him three
heats in 2:28,2: 19, 2:17 (several watcheB made It 2:1630
the last half 1:07 yit and going so easily that I f elt Bure
he could trot several seconds faster.

Although I worked him carefully, it was obligatory
that he should huve some fast work to trot on thei Oth,
an i on the following ^atnrfluy I gave him 'hreeh ats,
in 2:24, ;!:1S, 2:1 ■#, and the next Sunday "i:26, 2:19, 2:22.
He did not show as well in that as be lore, and though
he made a good showii.g iut.ie National, a wooderTul
exhibition after the drawbacks, andalBohis first race
ft<x n arlv twoyeara. h- was evide tly "not at him-
self." I have so much confidence In his speed and
endurance that I will name him again in the National
If it in gotten up, and will m »tch anv Btallion heats of
two 'iiileB for oue or two thousand dollars a Bide to
trot in October or November next, and take the
chances of his leg standing.

Projjeny,

He has only four colts, which were foaled in 1886.
Dr. Liliencrantz has two fillies on his ranch at Aplos,
D. T. Sexton oi San Francisco has a filly, and (J. K.
Lewis a colt. It was the inteniijnto train the colt,
but having hurt Ma fore leg when a yearling he had to
be thrown out. He is quite promising, aud though
Sunol and other cracks remain in, thirapayment was
made on him in the Stanford StakeB and Occident
Stakes. There are quite a number of foals or \-~-~ ,
several of which have been broken lately, and every
one gives good promlBe of trotting fast. There are
alno a number of foals of 1ESS, and, in my estimation,
for form, size, and beauty they cannot be excelled by
the get of a°y trotting Btallion. That others share in
tbia opinion is evident from the fol, owing quotation;
"B.E. Bybee saysJ. B. Haggin has got a lost Bprlug
colt by Antevolo. son of election er, dam Mabel,
sister of Beautiful Bells. th«t is as much superior to
other colts as the Jersey L ly Is to a Umatilla reserva-
tion squaw."— Rural Spikit, 1'or'land. Oregon,

Ne .rly everyone who owns an Antevolo colt ihlnks
that be haa the best, which is a token of their uni-
formity,

Pedigree.
The most exacting critic, If moderately intelligent^
cannot find fault with his blood lines. His sire FJIec
tioneer 1b, beyond question, the greatest trotting Bire
of any aye whenall things are considered. His dam
Columbine is the only mare which has two entire sons
which have beaten 2 :2o. 2:16W py a bix year-old, 2: YiM
by a four -year-old. Antevolo stands in the same rela-
tion to the thoroughbred as Maud a, Jay-Kye-See,
Sunolj Nutwood and many others of first celebrity.

The DeLAVAL CREAM SEPARATOR.

Extracts all the cream from milk, fresh and sweet, as it comes from the cow, without setting or holding,
not effected by extremes of climate. Increases tbe yield and improves the quality of butter, greatly adding to
the profits in dairying. Over 100 of these moat valuable machines are inconstant use on this coast alone, many
thousand in the United States, and all are proving so profitable that many dairies are using two or more
De Lavals.

It is now a well established fact that tbe Separator increases the yield of butter from 15 to 20 per cent,
even more in some parts of this State, while the quality in many instances has been greatly improved as iB
shown by comparison of market returns before and after the iutruduction of the Separator.

Four sizes and styles of De L-«vals now in use:
"Maud Power," •■.^iHudard." "Increased Capacity." and "Steam Turbine" Sepamlors

Steam, Water and Horse Power suitable for driviug. Complete Outfits furnished and fullv guaranteed.

BUTTER AND CHEkSE MAKING APPARATUS AND ALL SUPPLIES.

Bay District track and taken them to San Jose. In addition
to Bogus, Arthur 11., ttosa Lewis and others, he has also a
full brotber to the well-known race-horse Argo.

It is reported that Pittsburg Phil, the beBt known of all
the eastern plunger.-*, has arrived on this coast. He will
probably make himself known in his own peculiar way some
fine morning by cleaning up our local pool-rooms.

"Speed well the parting guest," is a good old-fashioned
English motto, pays the Sporting World, and it was singu-
larly appropriate, therefore, that the last race of the year at
Clifton shooid be won by Speedwell, who started at 30 to 1.

If the Los AngeleB races are kept up, many of the horses
now here will be taken to the" land of the Orange Grove.
Among those mentioned as being probable "flitters" are Al
Farrow, Jack Brady, Laura Gardner, Welcome, Naicho B.,
Oro and Coloma.

Mr. J. B. Haggin slates positively that he has made no
offer for Proctor Knott, nor authorized anyone else to make
a bid for the Kentucky horse. It is strange what peculiar
stories emanate from the pens of the irresponsible scribblers,
when items are scarce.

Bell Boy trotted at San Diego on the last day of the year,
at the Pacific Beach Driving Park to beat the best time ever
made on that track (Jim Blaine, 2:29). and although the rain
had softened the course until it was almost unfit for racing,
the wonderful colt made 2:19J.

The rumor that Jockey McLaughlin would ride this year
for the Dwyer Brothers is utterly without foundation.
Jimmy will ride for the Chicago stable, with which he would
up last season. The Dwyers have secured as premier jockey
that rattling good rider Georgo Taylor.

There was a singular occurrenca at Borris races in Ireland
on the 25th of October. One of the five horses which ran for
tbe Adams town Plate was Mr. Meredith's Dainty, upon
which a fortnight previously the operation of tracheotomy
was performed as a cure for roaring. Dainty ran the race
witha metallic tube in the throat, opening at the neck, where
it was fastened with a silver plate, and won.

Our old and esteemed friend, E. F. Smith, of Sacramento,
was defeated last Monday for the position of clerk of the
Senate. A hard and bitter tight was made against him. Ed
has made an acceptable secretary for the State Board of Ag-
riculture, and would have proven himself equally efficient in
the "upper house."

The Eastern sporting journals all agree that Sam Bryant's
entries, Proctor Kuott and Come to Taw will be the winter
favorites for the Kentucky Derby, but most of them ac-
knowledge that as Proctor Knott will not start, Almont is
the best performer left in the list. Senator Hearst's late
purchase may start favorite yet.

Dr. C. C. Mason, of Chico, has visited Sacramento and
San Francisco this week, trying to arrange a date for the
local fair and race meeting, so ae not to conflict with any of
the other associations. The Dootor promises even a more
successful meeting this year than last.

The following advice is taken from the Bushville, (Ind.),
Graphic If you have a promising race-horse that you want
to advertise or put in the stud, take him to California and
give him a record. Take a lesson from Bell Boy's perform-
ance and others. They trot at least five seconds faster in
that climate.

I met Mr. A. Gonzales a few days ago, and asked him
whether ha was going to accept the proposition of Mr. Lin-
scolt in reference to trotting Junio against Jim L.t and for an
answer got an emphatic NO. Mr. Gonzales says he is willing
to trot his horse at the Bay District track, but will not go
down to Salinas to trot.

I met the Hon. A. Abbott of Sacramento a night or two
since at the Palace Hotel. He was on his way to join the
party who have started for the field trials at Bakersfield. In
the good old days, Mr. Abbott represented one of the city
dailies at Marysville, and always had a hearty grip for the
journalistic fraternity when business called them that way.

Bell Boy will be taken East from San Diego about the 20th
of this month. Mr. C. C. Seaman's large and varied interests
in the Southern' portion of this State, prevents him from
giving the necessary attention to his Kentucky stable, con-
sequently the justly celebrated trotter will be sold at the
same time as the balance of the stock and farm is disposed
of.

Another new stable will compete for honors this year on
the eastern turf, "Jack" Logan, eon of the late United States
Senator, has developed a penchant for racing, and is now
getting together a string for the coming campaign. It will be
known as the Oriole Stable. Young Mr. Logan has an im-
mense income from investments made in stone quarries and
iron mines, and can afford to indulge in the rather expensive
luxury.

When the racing season of 1888 started, George Engeman,
owner of the Brighton Beaoh and Clifton tracks, offered a
purse of $1,000 to the jockey winning the largest number of
races on the combined courses, with a seoond purse of $500
to the next highest one. On New Year's day George Taylor
received the larger amount, while Whyburn was fortunate
enough to secure the second place purse. They are both
good, faithful riders, and richly merited their reward.

The Petaluma Park Association had a meeting recently, to
see if something could be done toward improving tbe race
course. Mr. White, the President of the Association, stated
to a representative of the Petaluma Imprint that while the
Directors fully approved of any project to improve the race
course, they did not consider that the financial status of the
Association would justly bear increased expenditure at
present, owing to their indebtedness.

It is reported that the Buenos Ayres Syndicate of race-
horse buyers have offered 600,000f for Stuart, winner of the
last Grand Prix and French Derby. $120,000 is a rather
steep price for one race-horse, but what makes the story
beyond belief is, that M. Donon refused this tempting offer.
From my personal knowledge there are many better race-
horses in American than Stuart, which can be bought for
rrmoh less money. Probaby this story is on a par with the
one toH about the purchase of Ormonde.

Ossory and Galore will be shipped from England on the
20th inst. The latter is entered in the Subarban and the
Sheepsherd Bt»y Handicap at the Coney Island meeting.

The management at Clifton track started a very bad prec-
edent on New Year's day. Each reporterpresent was offered
a present of $50. As might have been expected, the repre-
sentative of our highly esteemed contemporary, The Sport-
ing World, refused to accept the donation. It was simply a
bid to bias the reporters, and no reputable journal could
afford to have it said that any of its employees had accepted
such a bribe.

One of the San Franciscu dailies says that "Lucky" Bald-
win has offered §25,000 for the release of Barnes, the light-
weight negro jockey. The paper also states that Mr. Tucker
has the first call on Barnes, and would not part with him at
any price. Shelby Barnes, usually called "Pikey," is an
apprentice, and the Dwyer Brother's have secured a second
cad on his services, bo Mr. Baldwin could readily offer a
large amount for the boy's release, feeling assured it would
not be accepted.

In an exchange, which 1 rind on my table, there is a very
fanny paragraph. It would not be right to publish the name
of the paper, for it is simply a case of gross ignorance on the
part of whoever wrote the item. It is aB follows: "Al Far-
row, the Lake County flyer, won another rive-eighths mile
race at San Francisco. Delia Walker, another Lake County
horse, was second." Mr. Walters, who owns Al Farrow, will
probably step into that office and inform the editor that Delia
Walker was the dam of Al Farrow.

The races which took place near Jacksonville, Or., in Col.
Miller's field, says the Democratic Times, were witnessed by
a large crowd from every portion of the valley. Everything
was conducted "on the square," and all had a fair chance to
win. U. G. Kippey's gray horse, from Central Point, won
the first race, distance 600 yards, with Ed. Hanley's sorrel
horse second. Thos. Miles' horse, Secret, won the quarter
race in straight heats, beating five others.

"Grim, is it a fact that they run the horses in Australia
without shoes?" This question was asked me at the Bay
District track a few days ago, and when I told the gentleman
that I had seen the stewards at Caulfield threaten to expel
an owner who wished to start his horse shod, they stating it
would make two seconds difference in a mile, my friend
evidently thought I was deviating from the paths of truth,
still it is* a fact. The stewards wished to protect the betting
public, and knew the horse would be handicapped with
shoes, as all horses run there much faster when not shod.

The Western Associations have arrived at an amicable
understanding in reference to dates, and the following is the
time allotted to each one: New Orleans, April 8th to 13th;
Memphis, April 15th to 20th; Nashville, April 22d to 31st;
Lexiogton, May 1st to 8th; Louisville, May 9th to IStb; La-
tonia, May 20th to June 1st; St. Louis, June 1st to 15th;
Kansas City, June 17th to 22d; Chicago, June 22d to July
20th; St. Paul, July 23d to 31st. Then the horses car. come
east to Saratoga, Monmouth, and the other tracks thereabouts,
or rest a bit in the west waiting for the Western Autumn cir-
cuit to open.

I had a very pleasant call from Sam Caton on Tuesday last,
he being on his way East to look after his personal interests.
Sam came to the Coast bringing Bell Boy with him, hoping
that the three-year-old record might be broken, and it would
have been, but the elements conspired to defeat sach a de-
sired end. Mr. Caton speaks in the most unqualified terms
of the California climate, and says Bell Boy could not beat
2:30 when brought from the East, and yet with only six
weeks of its invigorating influences, the beautiful stallion
reduced his record, and now has 2:19.J to his credit. Mr.
Caton will, in all probability, bring his horses to this Coast
next winter, as he considers it will be a gain of many seconds
in speed to each.

The New York Spirit of the Times, of a recent date, con-
tained the following paragraph:

"J. S. Brown, of Westerly, R. I., writes: 'I claim the dis-
tinction of having bred, raised, broken, trained and driven a
faster stallion (Mount Morris, 2:19.]) than any other man has
done. Correct me if I am not right.' We do not dispute
you, Mr. Brown."

The Western Sportsman copies the above and adds:

"Joseph Cairn Simpson, of the California Breeh
Sportsman, has done equally as well, Mr. Brown, t1
raised, broke, trained and drove Antevolo to a four
record of 2: 19 J."

General Toptce.

Although "Grirn's GoBsip" occupies a part of the same
field wbich was allotted to ''General Topics," there is need
of a sort of a combination, a kind of double crop, to utilize
the whole area. "What may be called journalistic heatB, in
place of a long straight dash, a succession of paragraphs in
lieu of long articles is certainly popular, or it would not be
adopted by so many papers. The LoDdon Referee is the best
exemplar among sporting papers, and has got such a lead in
that feature that it gallops across the score so far in the lead
tbat "two stun ten" or even a four stun handicap wonld
not equalize it with the other contestants. But then I do
not know of any other paper which has sach peculiar advan-
tages. Like the big stables of Mr. Haggin, Mr. Baldwin, the
Dwyer brothers, etc., there are so mauy cracks in the string
tbat when all run at a time there are little or no hopes of
getting a place. The opening on the first page is "Sporting
Motions, " without a signature, and then comes "Pendragon's
Handbook." Following that is the page under the title of
"Dramatic and Musical Gossip." which "Carados" has in
charge, and further along Dagouet handles "Mustard and
Cress," so deftly that I must confess a partiality for that
when amusement is the motive for reading. Pendragon is
the pseudonym of Henry Sampson, the veteran editor of the
paper, and he has not an equal in presenting turf matters
with paragraphical precision. A par. or two will pre-
sent the main features of interest in a meeting or race better
than columns of labored writing, and even a rentence is
likely to present a clearly cut picture of what has been seen.
While there must be a natural gift for this kind of composi-
tion, breeding must be aided by judicious training, and that
both of these qualities are combined in the quartet of
paragraphers connected with the Referee will be readily
admitted by the readers of that paper.

Grim's Gossip is a transcript ol what is going on in local
circles, and what can be gathered in the way of what is
transpiring elsewhere. It is intended to be an epitome of
current news regarding horse affairs, and a few. lines may be
all th&t is necossary to plac-a it before the reader, or it may
require a long paragraph to convey the intelligence. When
he gets his plauB perfected, a system of organized aids all
over the Paoifie CoaBt, nearly every occurrence in horse
circles, of any interest to the general reader, will be duly
chronicled. Some time will be necessary, as it will entail an
extensive correspondence to arrange the business, but when
effected the trouble, in a measure, will be at an end. General
Topics has a more extended range. Embracing other sub-
jects than horses and their belongings, discussions, perhaps,
and the beaiing that passing events have on the future. It
has so wide a scope that it is difficult to give a syoopsis.
One paragraph may treat a subject widely differiug from the
next, or the whole series embrace the same topic and those
which are cognate to the question. In that case it would
appear that a continuous relation should be the vehicle to
convey the thoughts of the writer, and yet there are benefits
derived from the practice. It permits breaking off at any
point and the use of a Btyle which would be inappropriate in
an unbroken article. While not exactly proper to term a
column, in which parts of it are divided by asterisks, lines,
etc., a collection of paragraphs, as a rule, the sections are not
divided by paragraphs proper. Some writers, however, fancy
t redivision of the section and make a paragraph of every
few lines, thinking, doubtless, that it adds to the force of
their style. At all events it has become such a prominent
feature in journalism tbat apologies are not necessary.

Althongh somewhat annoying to my better half — I might
write with great propriety the best half of the company — it
has been a gratification to me to be called "The Old Man."
Should a stranger visit the Oakland track, or any other where
I may be at the time, hear a conversation in which the horse
fjlkare engaged, and the appellation used, he can take it
for granted I am the person referred to. And in many other
places where horses are the theme. ''Well Morris, what does
the old man think of my colt?" is asked a hundred times or
more during the year of my horse lieutenant, or it may be,
"how did the old man like my horse wheu he saw him move
the other day?" Many have yet to learn that when 1 praise
the colt in presence of the owner the opinion is not qualified
by a mental reservation, and should the scrutiny be unfavor-
able the owner is the recipient of the opinion in preference
to blowing hot to him and cold in other places. I have been
dignified with all sorts of titles, from Captain to Colonel in
the military, and the civic one of Judge. The only claim I
have to military rank was from having won a substitute dur-
ing the war, and as for that which permits the use of Hon.
as a prefix there can be no further claim than having offici-
ated in the judges' box of a race course, or as an arbiter in
oases of disagreement in turf or trotting affairs. Inasmuch
as "no good" came from the substitute, ;and the honors of
the ermine are promemptorily declined, and also a determin-
ation to avoid as far as possible refereeship, the more famil-
iar title of the old man is most in accordance with my feel-
ings.

Then again I think at timeB I am too young to deserve the

title to which grey hairs give only a brevet rank. Apart from

peri- dical attacks of rheumatism, or a cerebral trouble, my

"b<HIy condition" is capital. "Sound in limb and feet,"

s;n ng a spavin on my right ankle, caused by an accident in

.w mill forty years ago, and last summer, when I was in

rpen air from sunrise to sunset, with two or three hours

1 . iting in the middle of the day, and my "wind" was not

iiklected by a brisk walk to the track and back, or an occa-

sional short gallop to catch a car. The fact is there may be
many years and youth, not a quarter of a century of life and
senile old age. But the prefix of old is not used among horse
folk entirely as a designation of age, but rather as a token of
affection, and trainer and jockeys will £peak of a favorite
four-year-old nlly as the "old mare," and very frequently a
three-year-old will be patted on the neck with a hearty salu-
tation of "how are you old horse." These reflections arose
from a paragraph in the Examiner of Monday recounting the
arrival of two far-Eastern tourists who are named "old gen-
tlemen. " I prefer "old man" as being a more comprehensive
term. "Gent," a horrible contraction, and lady are used
with so little regard to whom they are applied that the BignifL
cance has been lost. Not a great deal worse than the exclam-
ation of two "Handy queans" who were quarrelling, when
in response to a charge the other said, "I admit I am a-

and a thief, but beyond that you cannot say black is the white
of my eye, and I am a lady."

The following is quoted from the Examiner, and in more
than one sense neither can be justly called old.

The Eastern tourist is not as yet very numerous among us,
but a few of his kind are here. Two very jolly old gentle-
men were at the Lick House the other evening, preparing
for a tour of the State. They came from Salem, Mass. One
is seventy-three years ol J and the other seventy-one. Both
are very rich, and both are childless widowers, as one of
them confided to a listener. They have been lifb-long neigh-
bors, and as both have retired from business they concluded
to set out together upon a tour of observation — like Lord
Lovell, "strange countries for to see." They crossed the
Continent leisurely, stopping at Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake
and other points, and finally brought up in San Francisco.
They are a very frisksome pair of old gentlemen, and as full of
fun and jollity as au egg is full of meat. They ask all sorts
of questions, and invariably express their surprise at any-
thing told them by the genuine Yankeeism, "I want to
know!" They intend to see every point of interest in the
State, from the placer miueBof Klamath to the vine-olad hills
of San Diego. There is great rivalry between the two as to
which shall get his band in his pocket first when any item of
expense is to be settled, and many a squabble "Eph" and
"Job" — those are the names they address each other by —
have when one gets ahead of the other.

EecardiDg the substitute. In 1S64 I lived in Chicago, my
family, and, consequently, my home, being in Jackson Co.,
Iowa. The greatest of the Iowa fairs in these days was held
at Davenport, and which was also the most popular of the
Western exhibitions. I took several horses from Chicago to
participate in the sport, and when the destination was
reached I found tbat drafting for our section of the conntry
was in progress. Without having the least dread of the
draft, my business would have been irretrieveably ruined by
enforced absence. Had I been differently situated I Bhould
have enlisted, as in addition to patriotism I had a strong
desire to see and participate in actual warfare. Not perhaps
actuated by the sane fervor as governed Young Norval, but
to aid the cause which I believed to be right, and the gratifi-
cation of witnessing the most exciting events in human life.
Two men came from Sabula to Davenport bringing substitutes
which had cost them over $800 each. Both were lamenting
the outlay, and I proposed that I would put in a third of the
outlay, play billiards (we were closely matched at that), old
sledge, any game, in fact, with which we were acquainted.
A declined the hazard and B was reluctant, though the next
morning, when I was going to the track to exercise the
horses, B said he bad consented to the arrangement.
Another townsman, a German who kept the billiard saloon of
the village, was present, and he was also matched with the
trio in the games we had played together. I gave him
one-half of B's outlay, with instructions that Bhould he win,
he must not pay the substitute until he was accepted and
sworn in. The entrance gate was not very far from the
traok. and as I was exercising the horse he came a short
time before noon. He was smiling his best and shouting
at the top of his voice, "I wins him, I wins him." "What
did you do, H?" "Oh B would not play any game, but me
tossed heads and tails, and I beat him." He had a pocket
piece, a lucky thaler which he claimed was a grand "luck
piece," and the substitute was accepted, sworn in and paid
his $800. That evening when at dinner at the BurtiB House
the provost marshal informed me that the substitute had es-
caped before they got him iuto camp, so that my represents,
tive had "stole away" in a few minutes after he received his
bounty. My friend H. felt very much elated at his victory,
and also at having tossed heads or tails for as large a sum as
eight hundred and odd dollars.

"Sleepy David" and the tin poddler is an old story, and
that and kindred "Bites" have been the subjeotof many tales
for more than a hundred years. Something of the same sort
was played upon me at the Davenport track many years ago,
though the bite was discovered before the teeth were fairly
inserted. The Scott county fair had closed, and the day
after there was quite an assemblage at tbe track. Many
horses still remained, expeoting to take the boat the next
morning for the State Fair, which was to be held in the Du-
buque. I had a large number of Blackbird colts, 17 of them,
if my memory be correct, and among other horses a fine look-
ing chestnut mare called Lady Feosta. She was one of the
fastest trotters in the State, though a terribly "bad breaker,"
and, consequently a "kittle quean" to drive. I was jogging
her wheu a boy mounted on a big bay stallion rode alongside.
The only trapping was a blind btidle, and he shuffled along
as gently as the ' 'ambling pied poney," celebrated in the song.
His first enquiry was if I wanted more help to take the oolts
to Dubuque, and being answered in the negative his next re-
mark was tbat maybe the horse he was on could beat the
mare. He kept me company for several rounds, when be*

coming out of patience I offered to wager bim $100 that the"
mare could shut the horse out. He was a fine looking horse
''bodily, " though his legs were swollen and he was evidently
in "no sort df condition,"

The boy shook his head, but when 1 had finished working
a man stepped up and said he would accept one of the prop-
ositions made td the boy, viz;: to give the horse 60 yards in
half a mile for the amount named. 1 answered that he had
played it rather too fine, but that I wonld give $25 to sea
what kind of a horse he hadi He was accommodated with a
sulky and after warming his horse up commence 1 to score.
He found a good deal of fault at the mare coming in the lead
although I was endeavoring to give him a good start, and
the word was eventually given with the mare on a break.
The horse went away from her opening a gap before the first
quarter was reached which I oould not close, and the result
was that he beat me further than I was to beat him. It
appeared to me as though the tew men present made more
noise than the thousands who attended the fair, and the
promise of a basket of wine when we got to the BurtiB House
was all that put an end to the laughter and clamor. The
horse trotted the half mile in 1:20— no bad rate for a
horse, especially a stallion in 1864 — and evidently could have
gone faster. Enquiries of the man who trotted him elicited
the following information. He was quite a noted bix hundred
yard horse, but owing to a slig it injury to fore leg he was
thrown out of training and his owner used him for work and
driving on the road. He had taken kindly to trotting, but
my informant stated that this race was the first he had ever
taken part in. He borrowed him and actually made him one
of a team which drew a load of apples to the fair, and a
small machine to grind and press them into cider. I took
the address of the owner intending to visit him

after the close of the State Fair. But Mr. S of

Muscatine exhibited more sense. He was one of the
timers, and before the horses were unharnessed he was on his
way to cross the river, and in less than 24 hours became tbe
owner of the stallion. He did not show tbe same good sense
however in the treatment after he became the owner. The
horse was very fat, his blood out of order as was evidentfrom
the swollen limbs, and cold weather was approaching. It
was asserted at the time that he sewed a thick blanket on bis
neck which he wore night and day, and when he drove
there was an additional envelopment of a big hood. At all
events he died during the winter, pneumonia being the cause
I felt confident that had he lived be would have proved one
of the great horses of the day.

Wnile I was called upon to decide many disputed cases,
there was one which was of more than passing interest.
Dexter was purchased of Geo. B. Alley by A. Fawcett and
George Trussel, and Budd Doble was engaged to train, ride
and drive him. It waa important that the man should be a
rider as well as a driver, and the first intention was to em-
ploy John Murphy. He was engiged, however, and Budd
was so warmly recommended that he was taken in his place
No better selection oould have been made, and he went
through the first season with eclat. As is well known, Trus-
sel was killed the fall of 1866 by a former mistress, and the
estate administered upon. The first purchase was made for
$14,0P0, and at the administrator's sale Fawcett bought the
other half for $10,000. In 1867 he made a contract with
Budd, the terms being that Fawcett should receive two-thirds
of the gross earnings. The agreement ran from May to a
date in November, perhaps all through that month. He was
campaigned, or, it will be more prop3r to state, exhibited all
over the coun'ry, with many engagements to fill. Mr Faw-
cett sold him to Robert Bonner, receiving $33,000. Mr. Bon-
ner paid $35,000, the agent who managed the sale getting
$2,000 from Mr. Bonner and the half or whole of the trotter
Silas Kich from Fawcett. It was shrewd management on the
part of the agent. He went to Mr. Bonner and learned that
he would pay $35,000 for the reigning Kiug of the Turf. He
induced Fawcett to take $33,000, and the seller was so well
pleased with the transaction that he presented him with the
bonus described. As Fawcett had an interest in Dexter Park
he reserved the right to meet Dexter's engagements theret
after which the horse was to be delivered to Mr. Bonner.
That could only be done with the const-nt of Doble, as his
contract ran for at least six weeks after the last trot in
Chicago. He trotted on the 5th of September against Silas
Rich, Bashaw Jr., Tackey and Gen. Butler, and on the 7th
against Brown George and running mate. There was a
a very large attendance on both days, the interest heightened
by the knowleoge that it was a decided farewell to the glories
of a public race.

The parties to the contract could not agree as to what
would be a fair compensation to remunerate Doble for the
unexpired time, .%nd so arbitration was determined upon to
settle tbe matter without troubling the courts. Fawcett
selected a friend from Cincinnati, Doble a Chicago friend,
and I was chosen referee. It was evident that the umpires
were in the position of advooates, each striving to gain an
advantage for his client, and at last botu insisted that I
should make the award. Before entering upon the business,
the parties were made to sign an agreement binding them.
selveB to abide by the decision rendered, and so it became an
imperative duty that due care should be observed in arriving
at a just verdict. Mr. Doble exhibited his books, which bad
been carefully kept, every item of receipts noted from the
time he trotted his first race in the spring until his last race
at Chicago. The gross receipts were something over $18,000.
So that Fawoett had cleared over $12,000, and as Doble told
me that he had made Bolly Lewis (the Pilot Jr. Polly) pay the

1889

Site greettet; arid jlpm-tsmart.

19

expenses, he was something over $6,000 "ahead" on the
work from May to September 7th. Taking that for a basis,
and after making due allowance for bad weather, the verdict
was that Fawcett should pay Doble $3,300. Mr. Doble at
once tore np the contract, though the other had a glnm look,
and when I learned that he had offered $3,000 to Bettle the
matter, and found fault with the additional $300, I came to
tbe conclusion that refereeship hereafter should be carefully
avoided .

A Califomian's Opinion.

"It is & thoTongh treat to see New Yorkers driving, and to
see .he splendid tarn outs they have. I allnde now entirely
to the trotters driven either single or double." The speaker
was a Californian, says the JVew York limts, who had just
returned faom a drive through the Park and "on the road"
behind the 2:24^ mare of a promment Union Club man.
*'California raised the fastest, and I, of course, believe the
btst trotters in the world, bat one might drive daily for a
month in and about San Francisco without seeing as many
really Brut-class trotters as I have seen to-day. A California
bred trotter that cannot do better than 2:40 as a four-year-
old our breeders don's deem worth hio keep. Yet one could
almost count the horses actually used as roadsters in 'Frisco'
on his ringers and toes who can do that gait on our drives.
It's another case of the shoemaker and his barefooted chil-
dren, I Buppose. Our horses are raised for the market, and
as I tind tbem scattered everywhere the market must be a
good one east of the Kockies. Our wealthiest breeders seem
content to drive their 'pings' at home, and our best ones are
flying over the drives here in Chicago, Boston, Washington,
St. LouiB, and everywhere I go except in 'Frisco.' Strange,
isn't it?"

The many rich three-year-old stakes of the past will be
thrown into comparative insignificance this year by the Real-
ization Stake to be ran for in Jone at Sheepshead Bay. This
great stake race is really the outcome of the Futurity, for
while it was opened long before the latter was run tor the
first time, still the Secretary of the C. I. J. C. with his keen
perception, saw that the Realization wonld be a fitting sup-
plement to tbe great event which overshadows all other two-
year-old stakes in this or any other country. Mr. J. G. K.
Lawrence never does things by halves, and in bringing the
newly created stake to a successful termination, as far as
entries are concerned, has shown much discernment and
great executive ability. The Coney Island Club has the
Prince of Secretaries, and its unqualified success is due in a
great measure to the indefatigable efforts pat forth season
after season by Mr. Lawrence, who never seems to tire in the
good work of providing first-class sport for the spectators,
and enormous purses for the stable owner.

There are almost two hundred horBes entered, still eligible
to run lor the rich stakes, and it will not be out of place to
pause and consider what the owner of the winner will receive
for his share. From the data at present to hand it will not
be hard work to make a somewhat close estimate, and while
of course the number of starters may not be guessed exactly
right, still an approximation can be made. For this rioh stake
it may be assumed that at lsast ten starters will face tbe
Hag when the bugle note is sonnded, and taking that small
number as being the correct oue, there will be 540,200 to
divide between the horses placed 1. 2, 3. Of this amount
the second horse will receive $3,666, while the ttrird will
place to the credit of his owner a consolation plum of $1,833.
This will still leave for the first horse the magnificent sum of
$34,700, which even in this day of large stakes stands pre-
eminent over all other three-year-old events, as the "uig
money" stake of the year.

A glance at some of the entries may not be amiss, espe-
cially as California is liberully represented. It seems strange,
but still is nevertheless true, the crack two-year-old of last
year, Proctor Knott, is not a candidate for Realization hon-
ors, probably from an oversight on the part of Mr. Bryant.
Among the most prominent of the Eastern entries we find
the name of D. D. Withers represented by the snperb Faver-
dale colt and also by the Cadence colt and the Sweet Home
filly. The Dwyer Brothers have Brussells, Oregon and
Lungstreet. Mr. A. J. CaQsatt's late pnrcuase, Eric, is com-
panion to Madstone in the nominations. Mr. A. Belmont
has Lady Margaret and that beautilnl filly She. The choice
of David Gideon's lot is the unbeaten French Park and thut
game horse Radient. The McMahon stable will furnish Hec-
tor with a probability of Garrison having the mount, he
being the silent partner of tbe firm. As opposed to "Snap-
per," his rival, McLaughlin, will ride the Faustus colt Galen,
for the Cuicago stable. Genial Walter Gratz has entered
Blue Rock and Forum, whi-e Cupt. Sam Brown's colors will
be displayed on either Galop or Reporter. Proctor Knott
was defeated last year by Kasson, Mr. J. J. Carter's colt, and
his name is also in tbe list. McClellan and Roche have The
Lioness, Liberty, Metal, and the fleety Limbo as representa-
tives, and J. E. McDonald has The Boll, Bill Barnes and
Corinth. Green Morris will start either Tipstaff or Lannes.
while A. G. Newsum has Sportsman and Mamie Fonso. If
Lady Pulsifer comes to in good shape, Major Thomas will
possibly send her on from Kentucky to compete, and Mr.
Bnrch has placed in entry that good colt Seymour. We
now arrive at the Califoruian contingent, which is headed in
quality by Mr. J. B. Haggin's prime race horse Salvator,
while in that gentleman's list is also the fairly good Fresno,
Firenzi's brother Florentine, Ransom, Marsac and the mod-
erate Wiofieid. "Lucky" Baldwin has two entries, neither
of which proved high class last year, Caliente and Gany-
mede. As Senator Hearst's Philander is drawn from all
Western and Pacific coast spring events, he will in all prob-
ability be specially prepared for this rich three-year-old Btake.
By an oversight, The Czar, owned by Theodore Winters, was
entered for 1890 instead of 1889, thuB barring the Emperor
of Norfolk's brother out from the Realization. Although
only a few of the many have been picked out, and then only
what is supposed to be the best of tbe lot, still it is just pos-
sible that neither the first, second or third is named in this
short article, and that the leaders may turn up in the hun-
dred and tiftv or more who have not been mentioned.

Where Proctor Knott Lives.

A few weeks ago the writer was enabled to take a private
peep at the winner of the rich dual events, the Junior Cham-
pion and the now celebrated Futurity, and as all our ex-
changes have had more or less to say about the great son of
Luke Blackburn, it may not be considered out of plaoe to
tell the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman where and
how he is kept. I arrived at Louisville one winter after-
noon and asked for the stable of Mr. Bryant. Much to my
astonishment my informant said that Bryant had two sta-
bles, but as they were olose together no trouble would be had
in finding what was wanted. As I walked oat toward tbe
Jockey Club grounds my thoughts reverted to a day iu last
summer when thousands were congregated on the Mon-
mouth course, each and all feeling anxious as to the result of
the next race. It wan Junior Champion day. and the largest
gathering of the meeting was present; from all tides and high
above the din could be heard only oue word, Oregon. It
sterned to be the generally accepttd fact that tbe Dwyers
could not lose the rich stake with their fast Onondaga colt,
and althongh there were fifteen down on the curd to start, thu

pencillers would not no better than 5 to 2 about the favorite.
The one name seemed to drown all mention of the others,
and I must confess that when Col. S. D. Bruce quietly told
me that Mr. Withers had a sure thing in the Faverdale colt
my surprise was great, for it seemed like heresy to even think
that any horse beside Oregon had a chance. I shall never
forget how the horses were critically examined by the know-
ing ones; conjecture was at an end, the race was seemingly
all over but tbe shouting, people in anticipation were jing-
ling their winnings in their pockets. But there, they're off.
Tbe great crowd was 6ilent, then up went a cry, "Oregon's
beat! The Faverdale cult wins!" For an instant how I did
inwardly swear at not taking Col. Bruce'a tip. But what is
that forging ahead? A big chestnut, his rider showing a
polka dot outfit, which, when discerned, causes every one to
glance at tbe programme to find out what horse it can be.
Proctor Knott, who is he, what is he, where did he come
from, only that small knot of Western men could answer;
but as their cry went up, "Knott wins!" that vast body of
spectators knew that -another marvellous two->ear-old was
making his bid for public favor. The Faverdale colt and
Fresno were trying to lessen that three clear lengths of day-
light, but try as they would the son of Luke Blackburn
would not be caught, the little midget "Pikey" Barnes, car-
rying the Scoggan and Bryant entry on to easy victory.

Then a^ain, I saw a retrospective view of the Sheepshead
track on futurity day, forty thousand persons anxious for
the "big event," but hardly any doubting the speed and
ability of Proctor Knott to carry the Polka Dot again to the
front. Nineteen starters and only even money against the
Kentucky horse. What a grand scoop the bookmakers will
make if any of the less favored can by any possibility win.
From the west comes a cry, "Look out for Galen; at five-
eighths he is a world beater, and may go the three quarters."
I kept my eye upon the reputed western wonder, and
when he passed the five furlong post, I looked around for
some one of whom I will borrow money enough to get home
on. But there comes that little black imp on Bryant's
Prootor Knott, closely pressed by the Golden State entry,
Galen has found his superior and Jails by the wayside; he
cannot go the distance. What a long breath I did take when
number 4 was hoisted; it was a perfect sigh of relief.
Proctor Knott had won, and I took a palace car home.

Just before the race I saw a man come rushing in fran-
tically, as though an extra lease of life depended on Mb
leaving nothing unseen. He called a messenger boy, and
told him to put this (handing him a gold note) on number 4,
saying that was his lucky number. The boy started off to
execute the commiBBion, and I watched the odd-looking man
standing close beside me, who had superstition enough in
his composition to warrant him in placing money on a num-
ber instead of on the known merits of a thoroughbred. The
race is over, and the old gentleman asks who has won, juBt
as the boy returns with the ticket. "What! Number 4 is
Proctor Knott! No, my boy, keep the money. No Duluth
man would accept money won by any horse having such a
name." And he walked away, conscious that he was justified
in his action, but no doubt feeliDg sorry that Proctor Knott
was number 4 on the programme.

However here I am at Fourih Street road, and there is Sam
Bryant standing talking two gentlemen. When his interview
with them was at an end I stepped forward, and after a hearty
hand shake inquired for ike horse. I was invited in to see
Mrs. Bryant, than whom no one more dearlj loves a good
horse, and was greeted cordially by the lady of the house.
As I sat in the back room the door leading out into the yard
opened, and I turned my head as one will and saw a rather
strange Bight. One of the servants had entered the room,
the door being open for a second or two, and it was what I
saw in that brief space of time that caused my astonishment.
At the back of the residence there is a neat two-story frame
building, with two windows facing the rear end of the resi-
dence, and from one of those windows was shoved the head
of a horse, a head when once seen never to be forgotten. As
the door closed I turned to Mrs. Bryant and said, "he seems
to know yon have company."

"Know when we have company, well I should think he
did, why he just watcliea the house all the time."

When we went out to see the greatest living three-year-
old in America a look of pleasure seemed to light up the face
of the noble animal, and as we sauntered toward the door
his eye brightened, the nostrils quivered jnst a little, and
the ears were picked up, waiting to hear a pleasant saluta-
tion from his master and mistress. They both Bpoke to
him, and the delighted son of Luke Blackburn showed by a
look of intelligence unmistakable how pleased he was. On
entering tbe stable I found a good liberal portion parti-
tioned off for his use and benefit, the walls and front of the
manger being heavily padded. On tbe floor was a thick,
heavy bedding of selected straw, aud everything about the
place was as clean and neat as could be. The greatest care
is taken of the horse, some people think even to childish-
ness, but when the reader considers that he won almost
S70.000 for his owner last season, and that there is a
chance for even greater winuiugs this year, is it any wonder
that every attention possible is paid him? In the large
yard surrounding the house he is giveu his breathing spells;
and while present he was allowed to go out aud race
around the enclosure much to his delight. He is full of
playfulness, aud as gentle as a kitten. At Mr. Bryant's re-
quest I paied an apple aud held it out toward the great race
horse, but before coming toward me he seemed to ask per-
mission from his master. Slowly the big, handsome head,
ornamented by the large white stripe, came toward me,
and finally took a bite of the apple. He enjoyed it im-
mensely, but when I tried to pat his nose he indignantly
threw up his heels and would allow of no familiarity,
althongh from members of the family he expects and re-
ceives Dats and rubbing a score of times each day.

Tbe large yard is kept free from rnt-bish of any kind, not
even the most minute particle ot wood or stone being allowed
to remain on the ground, for fear of any injury to bis feet.
The food given him is carefully selected by Mr, Bryant, and
consists of shelled oats, bran and hay. He has not had even
a bridle on his hoad since he was brought home after winning
the Futurity, and in this one particular point I think Mr.
Bryant displayed first-class judgment in not starting him
after the big race. The horse was not over-worked last year,
he retired without a strain or blemish, beiug perfect in every
particular, his long rest will enable him to stand a heavy pre-
paration, and the racing public of America can rest assured
when Proctor Knott faces the flag next season it will have to
be a world beater that can make him lower his colors.

Mr. Bryant will not start Proctor Knott in the Kentucky
Derby, and will in all probability wait until tbe
Dei by hefore giving him a mouDt. There an
would like 10 have him meet Galen at the enr"
most assuredly he will not, as Bryant is oppu
work and s«js he will not be started. Coiue b
horse belonging co the same owner will carry
Louisville, and the public will have to be satis

Something About Horse Haven-

"We are indebted to Mr. Shults for a copy of the Brooklyn
Times which contaias a description of the stock on his Park-
ville Farm, and also a synopsis of the methods employed by
Mr. Shults in the early stages of training, that portion is ap-
pended. One of the paragraphs we hold to be of so much
importance to ev^ry one who has horses in training, that we
have marked it to be italicized. The advice is especially ap-
plicable to youngsters, and a great many— it may be eaid
nearly every vicious or unsteady horse — has been made so
by brutal treatment. Even treatment which can hardly be
called brutal may be sufficient to spoil the temper. One
severe blow of the whip may have the effect, a succession of
them is nearly certain to do injury which months of kind
treatment will not remedy. Some colts, of course, are more
easily "spoiled" than others, and this class "re generally the
kind which with proper care would prove to possess desira-
ble qualities, though once made a party to a bitfcle in which
man and colt have lost their temper it is a difficult job to
undo this injury.

A good illustration is furnished by Anteeo. When a three
year-old, and commencing his work in the spring, he was
"hitched" to a heavy cart. In front of the stable, and be-
tween that and the street there is a gravelled space, the
northern boundary being a high fence made with upright
redwood boards. When given the word to start he wheeled
part way around and commenced to back. A cut of the
whip, harder than was intended, and he rushed back with so
much force as to smash the wheels through the fence. The
response was two lashes under the flank, given with a will,
and the return was an effort to back still further, and when
that could not be accomplished, owing to the obstruction in
the case, he made an upward bound and threw himself down,
with great force, on the shaft.

He was permitted to lie until he got up of his own accord,
but his ears were laid back during the whole of the drive,
and it took months to overcome that one mistake. He was
grossly ill-treated thereafter, and it has always been our
opinion that the ill-usage was all thai prevented him from
the honor of the topnotch in the stallion record.

It will be seen that Mr. Sbults' "primary school" is simi-
lar to that at Palo Alto, and the curriculums practically
alike.

Horse Haven is a name as applicable now to Kings County
as it is to Saratoga or any of the great breeding districts of
Kentucky or Tennessee.

Facing the Coney Island Boulevard and between that beau-
tiful driveway and the old Coney Island road and just below
the Manhattan Beach Railway tunnel is the Parkville Farm,
owned by Mr. John fl. Shufts. Only those who have been
ptrmitted to pass though the gates can have an idea of the
immensity of the place and the completeness of itB appoint-
ments, of its mile track and its comfortable stable, where
over a hundred box stalls are occupied by brood mares, two-
year-old colts, yearlings and weanlings, all of the finest
breeding.

A Times reporter visited the farm during one of the days
of the week just closing and was greeted by Mr. Shults with
his well-known cordiality. That gentleman was superin-
tending the work of a number of mechanics and laborers who
were completing what is to be the school for the primary
education of the colts raised od the farm. Mr. Shults is a
gentleman who believes in doing things thoroughly when he
undertakes them. He has original ideas concerning the
training of the horse, and neither his own time nor money
is spared in carrying them to completion.

The building in which the primary school is to be located
is a substantial one, ceiled with narrow, spruce pine boards,
and well lighted by many windows fitted with small panes,
surrounding which are frames of parti-colored glass. The
ring will be about ten feet in width, and one-twelfth of a mile
in circumference. It is to be oblong in shape, and will be
fitted at the sides and corners with rounded beams, so that
it will be impossible for the youngsters to injure themselves.

''In order to train a horse thoroughly " said Mr. Shults,
":( is necessary to have two fixed rides, kindness and firmness.
A horse, can be well and ihorouyhly taught if treated well. He
cannot be by any show of brutality. 1 don't wan', any man
who uses brutal force about my place. The result of this treat-
ment is shown in the fact that anyone of my horses, even the
stallions, can be approached without fear thai he toill bite or
kick.

"This is to be the primary school," continued Mr. Shults.
"It is where the youngsters will be taught their alphabet, the
A B C of their education. When the colt has been weaned —
say when he is about sis or eight months old— he is brought
here and two accomplished trainers will take him in hand.
He is placed in the ring and the first letters of his alphabet
are taught him. 'A' is to make him stand at the word of
command and allow himself to be handled. This teaches him
to be gentle and become used to men. Then comes 'B,'
which is to have him walk and stand. After that is 'C,' in
which he learns to jog. Of course his former lessons are
impressed on him at the Bame time, and lesson 'C in-
cludes also lessons 'A' and 'B.' The fourth course, teaching
him the 'D' of his alphabet, is to have him trot. When he
understands that thoroughly he becomes ready to break to
harness. All that he has been taught thus far is without har-
ness. This method of treatment gives the horse a confidence
in himself. It causes him to become used to the word of
command, and when the harness is placed on him he is not
apt to become unruly, as might be the case if he were entirely
green.

"When the horse learns all this that I have outlined, ' ' Mr.
ShultB added, "he is ready for the intermediate sehooliog. He
is then taken to the track outside, and goes through the
same course of treatment in harness to a light sulky. It is
ag£.in impressed upon him to stand, to walk, to jog and to
trot. If the weather is not fit for the continuance of the
training out of doors we train him under cover."

The directors of the Latonia Jockey Club reinstated Jack
Chinn Monday last. He was expelled from the turf last
antunjn for cutting John Dowling of St. Louis. Strong Ken-
tuck; influences have been urging his reinstatement for some
t-n.9 and have prevailed. Away down in 'old Kaintuck"
iO not seem to think it such a heinous offence to evis-
a man.

COBRESPONDENCE.

Euitok Breeder and Sportsman: — Noticimg in your col-
umns dates are claimed by various associations for this sea-
son's fairs, but I note, too, that our end of the State is en-
tirely overlooked. We think that we should have some
rights, and naturally our fairs should come first by reason
that our products come earlier and can be shown earlier, and
a regards racing it ma&es a natural circuit beginning at San
Diego, Los Angeles, then to Fresno, San Jose, Sacramento
and back again by Stockton, Napa and so on. We have
many good horses, are willing to give good purses, and oan
promise large attendance. Conflict of dates would be an-
tortunate, and can and should be avoided, which can easily
be done by having a meeting of all the different associations
at Sacramento, and I would suggest that Mr. L. 0. Shi ppee
President of the State Agricultural Society, callBuch meeting,
eay Feb. 12th, or about that time. L. J. Kose.

Los Angeles, January 8th, 1S89

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— It will not be out of
place during the present enforced quiet times in trotting-
horse circles, to discuss the good of the cause before the
next circuit opens, I would therefore cail the attention of
the managers of our fairs and trotting parks to the fact that
some of them are members of the "National," while others
subscribe to the regulations and rules of the "American"
Trotting Association. A horse, driver or owner suspended
at Los Angeles would be debarred from starting at Petaluma,
Santa Rosa or Napa; bnt the punishment inflicted at the
place first named would not necessarily follow him or be en-
forced at Oakland, Sacramento, San Jose or Stockton. A
fine imposed at San Jose need not necessarily be respected by
Los Angeles, Petaluma, S inta Rosa or Napa, but must be
recognized at Sacramento, Oakland and Stockton. Should
not one or two of our fair managements take this matter in
hand, and ascertain what are the desires or opinions of all
the Track Associations in the cirouit or in the State? The
fact of Sacramento and others preferring the National,
whilst Los Augeles and others elect to join the American
Association, should not stand in the way of all of our const
tracks acting jointly for the best interests of the trotting
horse enterprise. The jealousy and rivalry of the two parent
associations Btoould be made to redound to the benefit, not
to the possible iDJury, of this great and ever growing in-
terest. Let it be understood that every punishment or tine
inflicted on any track will follow the culprit upon all other
tiaoks throughout the State, and it will soon make no differ-
ence whether the National or the American go out of exist-
ence, for we shall then have the nucleus of a "Pacific"
Trotting Association. If a joint circular were sent out by
the State Fair (representing the National) and the Los An-
geles (for the American Association members), and if this
were done at an early date, there is butlittle doubt that every
association in the State would subscribe to the agreement.
Messrs Smith and De Camp would certainly serve the interests
of the trotting-horse breeders, and of all lovers of fair play
in trotting races, by taking this matter in hand.

Respectfully, A Breeder.

Dear Grim : I am the proud and happy recipient of your
letter, written yesterday, and am pleased to know that a long
sojourn in the effete East and an intimate acquaintance
with foreign potentates and princes have not effaced from
memory's tablets (that last expression is chaste, but a little
bold, ain't it?) the recollections of those who knew and loved
you when you stood Patsy Donelly up for cocktails, and
called trousers "pantB." when the click of Ridgeley's revolver
made sweet music at infrequent intervals, and the voice of
the Keno box was heard In the land. Dropping into a for-
eign tongue with which I doubt not you are familiar:
"Tcmpora mutautur et nos mutamur in illaB," which translated
illiteiately means: "There are silver threads amoDg the gold."

Among those that we then held nearest and most dear, few
are now paying poll tax (they never paid any other; for
cause.) Death in many shapes and forms, among which
might be named dehtum tremens, solitary confinement,
strangulation, cold lead — and Dr. Jordan — has claimed them
for his own, and I, even I only, am left (to quote from Holy
Writ.) To say "Peace to their ashes" might be considered
as irony, and a covert insinuation as to their present habita-
tion, while to "drop a tear" might be construed as a reflec-
tion on the mater supply.

But to return to our muttons, as we say in the French. I
am more than pleased to know that you are again one of the
people, and I fancy that your entire and startling ignorance
of the horse will adapt you admirably for the position you
are preparing to till. Some fellow once said of another fellow
that "He relied on his memory for wit and his imagination

the ban of the first paragraph, I have no alarm but that you
will never fail under any circumstances to apply the rule of
the latter, when you consider it beneficial and proper, and I

Chico, Cal., January 7, 18S9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I see by the Horsman
that Richmond is dead. Another good horse gone. Should
Kate Allen foal a horse colt I would take gr« at pleasure in
giving you a colt by him in three or four years.

I have decided to breed Kale Allen to Mr. George Han-
kins' horse Terra Cotta, by Harry O'Fallon, dam by Bay
Dick, son of old Lexington, his dam by Brown Dick, he by
imp. Margrave out of Fanny King, by imp. Gleucoe, Bay
Dick's dam by Boston, 2d dam of Terra Cotta by another
son of Lexington, his dam by imp. Gleucoe, Harry
O'Fallon by imp. Australian, dam by Irish Blrdcatcher,
etc , etc.

Oh, no, I won't get much of a colt from this breeding.
Some other man will hold over me, in their mind. I shall
keep Kate Alien as long as I can, and breed her to just such
horses as Amadis and Terra Cotta. If her foals live I will
give- the country the best breed or horses ever known. No
S. T. B business. Anybody can find out how Kate's foals
are bred. They can tell them readily, wherever they see
them. They will always be in the lead, never looking for a
hole in the fence, or laying back in their britchings. The
road will never be too long for her produce, or too heavy,
too hard, or too dry. They will be bred so they will be
equal to any task they are called upon to perform. Do you
follow me? I will not have them registered in the Broad-

way Journal, either. They will go to the end of the road, if
they do not stand out in broad array in said book.

The road drivers are told that they shall have a road to
exercise their horses. Of course they are all delighted, and
feel as happy as the lad with his first pair of boots, or pants
with pistol pocket. We have had the moBt lovely Fall in
Chicago this season that we ever had. The roads are as
smooth and safe as in June; no frost as yet. Old Probs tells
us no snow unlil the middle of the month.

New Year's Day we had lots of fun at Ed. Smith's, on 51st
street. I should savin and about (he Club House a couple of
thousand people perambulated. We had pacing and trotting
races. Had you been here, Mr. Editor, yon would have
recognized many a face which you could call the name of,
snch as Hank Milligan, Ira Ho'mes, Charley Daft, Charley
Eaton, and any number of others. Wishing you the com-
pliments of the season, I am, yours, etc.,

On the Road.

Chicago, 111., January 4. 1889.

Racing at Los Aneeles.

It looks as though the Holiday race meeting was not be-
ing attended with any better results than those held in San
Fraaicisco. The Tribune says of the races on January 4th:

Blue Bonnet and Estrella were the only two to sport
colors in the mile heats Estrella was a heavy favorite. In
the first heat Estrella led throughout and won by half a
length in 1:50. The next heat proved quite a surprise to
the "talent." The horse-; were sent on their journey with-
out much d' lay, and a blanket would have covered them at
any point of the race They came down the straight, neck
and neck, and both jockeys plied their whips with vigor,
aud when the judges decided that Blue Bonnet had won by
a nose, a shout of joy went up from tbo-;e who had backed
the short end. The time was 1:47, the fastest heat by three
seconds, but that is not saying very much. The third heat
was captured by Estrella by less than a length. Blue Bon-
net entered the straight with a good lead, but young Wt-st
sent Estrella after the leader, and was soon at the head of
affairs .

The "one and one-forth" brought together Dave Doug-
lass, Grisette and Consuelo. Consuelo assumed the lead at
the fall of the flag, and the order past the stand was Con-
suelo, Dave Douglass, and Grisette. The trio were bunched
at the quarter pole. Denison sent Dave Douglass to the
front along the back stretch, and Grisette, who brought up
the rear, appeared to have had enough. Turning at the
hr 'Die-stretch Dave Douglass looked all over the winner
and came under the wire pulling hard, a length ahead of
Consuelo. The distance was a trifle too far for Grisette,
with such a heavy weight on.

Young Denison displayed good judgment in his riding.
The summary follows:

MILE HEATS.

Estrella. (West) 1 2 1

Blue Bonnet (D. Denison). 2 1 2

Time 1:50; 1:47 and 1:64

ONE AND ONE-FODBTH DASH.

Dave Douglass, 116 lbs, (D. DeniBOD) 1

Consuelo, 9a lbs, (WeBt) a

Grisette, 120 lba. (Brown) 3

Time 2:13.

The second day's racing was not largely attends \
only about two hundred persons being present Saturday,
January 5. The Tribune in a short account says: "The heat
race, one mile and one hundred yards, resulted in a win for
Dave Douglass. Four Aces, 85 pounds, won the first heat,
defeating Dave Douglass, 121 pounds, Gripette, 115 pounds,
and Eddie Smith, 80 pounds, in 1 :5U . The second and third
heats were captured by Dave Douglass in l:52£and 1:55.
Grisette sold favorite in the field. D. Dennison rode the
winner.

Estrella, 113 pounds, beat Consuelo, 100 pounds, in the
three-quarter mile dash in 1:18. West rode the winner.

The consolation race, distance one mile and 40 yards,
resulted in a boil-over. CoDsuelo sold favorite two to one
over the field, but Telephone proved victorious, defeating
Consuelo, Blue Bonnet and Eddy Smith in 1:51. The latter
horse led and looked all over the winner at the three-quarter
mile post."

A Foreign Endorsement of Tips.

We have received a letter from Randolph Huntington,

Esq-, of Rochester, N. Y., which had inclosed still another

letter, from A. Haslewood, Veterinary Surgeon to his Grscs

the Duke of Devonshire. As they may prove of interest to

the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman, both are given

below :

Rochester, N. T., Dec. 12, 1888.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— My correspondence
for three years has been mostly abroad, with gentlemen; and
I have bad opportunity to benefit some worthy of mention.

1 have presented several copies of your "Tips and Toe
"Weights," and iu every instance your teachings have been
endorsed.

When the Arab mare Naomi came to me in August, she
was beautifully shod with Charlier shoes, put on so as to be
almost a part of the wall of the foot. A. Haslewood, private
surgeon to the Duke of Devonshire, bad been long my cor-
resrjondent. He is a very able man — one of the best in
England.

I bad sent him copies of your paper, and bIbo told him of
you, and of your methods in matter of "Tips."

As be could not understand me, I presented him with my
private copy of your book, presented and addressed to me
by you. (It was the only one to be had here.) And think-
ing to please you, I send you his last letter to me, which
please return.

I have letters from France also approving your methods.
This one I onclose is from a man whose influence is very
great. You know that "His Grace the Duke of Devonshire/
is one of the biggest and best breeders in England.

Now that I have given your present to me away, I want
you Bbould replace it in my library with your own presenta-
tion, as in the other.

If I were a younger man, or even had I the means I once
had, I would train and trot this Arab mare Naomi. You
know she is as pure as pure can be. and is of the best of the
best, and yet is a whirlwind at trot. When she came, she
only knew how to run, as she had been used in the hunt;
but in two days, holding her at trot, she took quick to what
was wanted, and astonishes everyone who sees her move at
trot to saddle. She is not broken to harness. I got her
(through the kindness and interest of my English friends in
my undertaking) expressly to breed to my Arab bred horses.
Truly, Randolph Huntington.

Bldxton, Derbyshire, Nov. 15, 1888.
My Dear Mr. Huntington: — Thanks very heart ly for
the two books you sent me. "Toe Weights'' is capital.
Have used the Charlier for years, and am now riding a mare
with the half plates advised in "Tips and Toe Weights."
The great thiog is to let the foot alone, and especially to let
the frog reach the ground. I only wish it would do in hard
froBt, hut there, of course, we must have some special aid to
progression. I believe you may quite implicitly rely on Mr.
Fidal's statements, and I feel sure you have got the pure
breed from him. It is pleasant always to read your commu-
nications to the Live-Stock Journal. Any time command me
if I can do you any service in making inquiries, etc You
might send me a Christmas number of some of your sporting
papers; the last you sent were highly appreciated.

Yours Respectfully, A. Haslewood.

Ormonde Not Coming.

"Though it was stated last week as an accomplishsd fact,"
says the London Sporting Timta, December 22, "that Or-
monde had been sold for $85,000 to go to the United States,
we said that this intelligence required confirmation, and that
in any case the report was incorroct, so far as the horse being
sold to go to the States was concerned. It now transpires
that the statement which was so widely circulated has no
foundation in fact, and that for two years to cnme, at least
until Ormonde has been tried at the stud, the Duke of West-
minster will not listen to any offer for him. What caused us
to throw doubt on the alleged sale was the knowledge that if
he was sold at all it would be to the Argentine Republic, who
have been promised the first refusal, and we believe that they
would have closed at the figure stated. If he gets roarers he
would leave his country for his country's good, but it is to be
hoped that he will not."

The N«w "Weights.

The new weight for age schedule, as adopted by^the com-
bined Jockey Clubs of the East and West, practically went
into effect yesterday, for though the scale as agreed upon does
not provide for the months previous to May, yet it is almost
certain that the few associations that are now racing will, for
the sake of uniformity, inaugurate the new system. We feel
satisfied that the wisdom of the committee that decided on
the change will speedily be demonstrated by practical results.
The prejudices of many of the old-time owners and trainers
in favor of the light-weights has been overcome by a Bqnare
consideration of facts, Weight never hurt a horse, and under
the new schedule experience on the part of a jockey and the
skill which comes with it, will no longer be at a discount.
There are more two-year-olds rained by inexperienced bnvs
every year tban one has any idea of. Every racing stable
can furnish one with a long list of instancea where vouugsters
with undoubted speed had their courage broken, their
tempers ruined, their mon ths spoiled or their joints wrenched
by bot-headed. light-weight jockeys. We do not think that
the now rule will be a panacea for all this, but it will go a
great way toward dimminiahing existing evils, and this,
after all, is a great step.— Sporting World

Great things aze expected of Houston, the yearling brother
of Hanover.

The First in 1889.

We have received from Mr. D. L. Hall, Superintendent of
the Overland Park, Denver, Col., an account of the first rec-
ord breaking in the new year. The account given is taken
from the Denver Mepublican of January 2d:

Qnite a number of enthusiastic horsemen assembled at
Overland Park yesterday at 2 o'clock to witness the first trot-
ting events of 1889. There were no regular races, but sev-
eral of the best road-horses and teams in the city were speeded
on the track, the inner half of which had been put in excel-
lent condition. The interest of the afternoon's exhibition
centered in the trotting performances of DuBois Brothers'
bay horse Magnet, who was t-taited to beat his record of
2:28|, made during the fall meeting of the Overland Park
Club. More than local interest was attached to the under-
taking, as, if successful, it would undoubtedly be the first
lowering of a 2:30 record for 1889, and probably the onlv race
in which 2:30 would be beaten on New Year's Day. There
was a wager depending on the result, and as the association
had regular jndgesappointed and in the stand, the time made
is a record for the horse. Magnet came on the track looking
in the best of condition, and after a warming-up mile received
the word, and trotted the full mile in 2:28}, the time of the
quarters being, to the quarter pole, 35 seconds; half mile,
1:13J; three-quarter mile, 1:49. This lowered the record, but
as another wager had been made that the horse would beat
2:27^, he was again started at the expiration of 25 minuter,
and in this heat the time was, quarter mile, 3"> ' seconds; hilf
mile, 1:10}; three-quarter mile, 1:47$; mile, 2:27}. Mignet
was driven by Chas. Benjamin, who also drove him in his
races last fall. The judges of the race were D. D. Streeter,
D. L Hall and W. T. DuncaD. The many friends of the
DuBois Brothers present warmly congtatulated them on their
victories over Old Father Time.

Rosemeade Stud.

New York City, Jan. 2 — From early days the spirit of
horsemanship has been active in California. The energetic
pioneers who peopled the State in search of fortune were a
speculative, chance-taking class — a gambling class, if you
will — who were ever ready to enter into the excitements of
racing and risk their money on it. The conseqnence was
that the mining districts soon fotiud amusement of that
sort provided by venture-onie sporting men, who carried
running horses, and, a little later, when driving became
more common, trotting horses, across the plains to the
Golden State. The amusement beaan with quarter-racing,
but Us popularity soon demmded the establishment of
tracks and regular performances to rule, both of running
and trotting. Many a fast trotter was picked up in the East
and quietly forwarded to California, either across the plains
or by vessel, for the money and sport that could b? had out
of the venture. Later on breeding began in a small way as
a natural seqrence, and success following, more systematic
plans of breeding were entered into, the best strains of blood
imported from the East, and an ambitious push made by the
State for recognition as a superior horse producing country,
capable of holding its own with any iu the world.

Among the earlier sj^stematic breeders to take up the pro-
duction of trotters as a specialty was Mr. L. J. Rose, of L«s
Augeles, Cal. He never had a large stud, and has not at the
present time, but in proportion to the number produced it is
questionable whether any breeder in the world has bred as
many horses of fast record as Mr. Rose. The'foundation of
che success of his stud dates to The Moor, a stallion that he
purchased of Mr. George C. Stevens, Milwaukee, Wis. The
Moor was by Clay Pilot, a son of Neaves' Cassius M. Clay,
Jr., out of Belle of Wabash, a fast trotter of high, breeding;
Clay Pilot's dam was by Pilot Jr.; 2d dam by Mambrino
Chief. Along with The Moor he bought the mares Gretchen,
by Mambrino Pilot, dam by Canada Chief; Minnehaha, by
Bald Chief, out of Nettie Clay, by S trader's Cassius M. Clay;
2d dam by Abdallah; 3d dam by Engineer 2d; Sultana, by
Delmonico, dam by Mambrino Chief, and a few others.
This gave him a combination of the blood of all the promi-
nent families of the day except that of Seely's American
Star.

The Moor died at eight years old, aud left but 51 foals, of
which five have records below 2:30. His daughter, Beauti-
ful Bells, 2:29|, out of Minnehaha, is proving a wonderful
broodmare, having thrown Hinda Rose, 2:19} at three
years; Bell Boy, 2:26 at two years, and 2:194, at three years;
St. Bel, 2:24J at three years, and Chimes 2:33} at two years,
His daughter Sable, out of Gretchen, by Mambrino Pilot,
produced Sable Wilkes, 2:1S at three years. His daughrer
May Sproul produced (bv his son Sultan) Margaret, 2:23.
His daughter, Madame Baldwin produced (by Sultan) Bay
Rose, 2:29. But from Sultana, by Delmonico, The Moor got
the stallion Sultan, 2:24, who succeeded him in the stud,
and proved one of the most phenomenal of sires, having to
the close of 18SS 17 representatives in the 2:30 list, and that
at 13 years old. Among them are the bay stallion Stam-
boul, that as a six-year-old has a record of &:14f against
time, and a record of 2:15 iu a race. Mr. Rose sold Sultan a
year or two ago, believing that in his sons Alcazar, 2:20.V at
five years, out of Minnehaha, and Stainboul, 2:14$ at six
years, out of Fleetwing, by Rysdyk's Hambletouian, he
lias better stallions than either Sultan or The Moor.
Whether this will prove so remains to be seen, but the prom-
ise afforded by the first of the youngsters to come forward
is of the highest order. The two-year-old filly Vesolia, by
Stamboul, was separately timed in her race with Sunol, at
Los Angeles, list August, a mile in 2:26J, and Murtha, a
yearling by him, has just taken a record of 2:41J, and his
three-year-old daughter, Nehu^hta, though defeated in her
race, took a roeord of 2:34i. It is thought probable that
Stamboul will be brought East next spring afer a brief stud
season, and contest the circuit for the stallion champion-
ship. He is a gallant-looking large bay horse, and trots in
as handsome form as any horse on the turf, and is regarded
as near an absolutely sound horse as ever drew a sulky.

There is a family likeness pervading nearly ah the de-
scendants of The Moor. They have a high-bred look, and
an appearance of quality that more nearly coincides with
the thoroughbred than with the usual trotting type. Mr.
Rose thinks it has developed chiefly as the result of selec-
tion and care for several generations, rather than from any
unusual amount of thoroughbred blood, aud the pedigrees
of the incoming crosses as far as known show no unusual
degree of thoroughbred blood. The Moor's dam, Belle of
Wabash, was a mare of silky, blood-like quality, and he still
believes the original pedigree that she was byBassinger, son
of thoroughbred Lieut. Bassinger, dam said to be imported
by William IV., thoroughbred. This may have introduced
a strong dash of blood, and may have set th.6 type of the

family, which is at all events a departure from the usual
trotting form, and not an xinattractive one. Belle of Wa-
bash, though a fast trotter, was a high-strung mare, hard
to control in races, and had the appearance of a running
mare of high form rather than of a trotter.

Stamboul, now the most prominent feature of the family
and iu public esteem, the head of Rosemeade Stud (though
its proprietor is quite as partial to Alcazar), is somewhat a
departure from the family type, having in two generations
from The Moor partaken of a strong mixture of Hamble-
touian blood through his own dam and that of his sire,
Sultan, with additional lines from the Mambrino Chief and
Clay sources. The trotting habit of action is therefore bred
into Stamboul Hue upon line, and he is as pure-gaited as a
horse can well be. He is of a very good racing temperament,
too, though a trifle nervous, an1 liable to be frustrated for
the moment by untoward circumstances. All things con-
sidered, his chances are unnsnally good for capturing the
fastest stallion record in which he is now led by but two
performers.

Eastern breeders cannot fail to become deeply interested
in a family that has produced such uniform success as that
of which Mr. Rose is the creator and Rosemeade still the
headquarters. Its remoteness aud innccessibility for a time
led them to an indifference regarding it, while not unmindful
that it was in its own field making singular progress. The
most profitable nick that Palo Alto has yet made for Elec-
tioneer was a Rosemeade mare — Beautiful Bells by The Moor,
out of Minnehaha — though some of the St. Clair mares, and
others highly bred, have done splendidly. San Mateo, too,
owes to Rosemeade a share of its greatest success, for when
Mr. Corbitt secured Sable by The Moor, out of Gretchen, he
captured the dam of the fastest three-year-old to date, and
the first by Guy Wilkes to enter the list. That she has also
thrown a brother and sister to Sable Wilkes that can go into
the twenties whenever cilled upon is an cpen secret. When
the near neighbors of Bosemeade have found it so highly pro-
fitable to dip into its family for successful crosses for the Elec-
tioneer and Wilkes blood, and surely for a cross so little tried
the results are hrilliant. The breeders east of the Mississippi
can hardly allow the lethargy of indifference to dull their per-
ceptions to the signs of the times. The world is very small
after all. If there is anything in Cafifornia that bids fair to
produce the highest results as a cross for the Wilkes blood,
which, in fashion based upon achievements has taken such a
hold upon every breeding district from ihe Atlantic to the
territories, neither the distance nor the difficulty will long
deter enterprising breeders from having it. At the present
stage of the breeding question the Rosemeade family is a most
interesting one. But little is known of it here from actual
observation. In 1887 Mr. Ro-ie brought some thirty head,
mostly yearlings, to New York, and sold them at auction.
They were well received, and mainly went into tbe hands of
breeders who bad already awakened to the rumors of speed that
later in the year culminated in such sensational performances.
Colts and fillies sold under such circumstances are little apt
to be developed, the buyers preferring to use them for beeed-
ing purposes in hopes of producing a sensational result more
exclusively identified with their own interests. Neverthe-
less, excellent reports come of the little they have been driven,
and of several of the elder ones there are reported miles below
2:42 in their three-year-old form.

Mr. Rose has had a gr:tifying and encouraging experience
as a breeder, and one somewhat unusual. He began with
stock that suited his judgment as a horseman, though at tbe
time it was selected it was not of really fashionable charac-
ter. He bred trotters from the start, and so few failures that
either his hick or judgment was marvellous. He has bred
three generations, each of which was of highly creditable
speed, as compared with the productions of prominent con-
temporaneous breeders. Eich generation had far more speed
at the average than its predecessor, and while it was appar-
ently a great Iosb that so good a sire as The Moor should have
died ko young, it proved ultimately a great advantage, for
Sultan, thus forced prominently forward, was greater than
The Moor. Profiting by this lesson he had no sooner tesied
the quality of Alcazar aud Stamboul, aud found them indi-
vidually, as in br<eding, a decisive improvement on their
sire, and that their eldest progeny tried higher than anything
he had ever had in hand, then he was willing to let Sultan go
in the full tide of his success. Perhaps few breeders in this
country could have parted with a sire of Sultan's tested qual-
ity without a sense of committing business snicile. But
while conscious of parting with one of the most successful
young sires that had ever appeared, the owner of Rosemeade
felt that he knew himself to be already on such firm and
secure ground for the future, by virtue of Stamboul aud Al-
cazar, that he could not afford to use Sultan any longer, great
as he was. It is a theory with Mr. Rose, if we understand
him rightly, that while the formation of the trotting breed of
horses is yet in a progressive stage, the -greatest possible re-
sults to be achieved within a given space of years will come
of creating the greatest number of generations of the best
trotting blood that can be fully tested at each stage, in each
branch of its mission, before its adop'ion. In other words,
hold to one generation onlv until the first moment that you
can plainly satisfy yourself that you have found its equal or
superior in the next. This rather conflicts with tho prevail-
ing sentiment of sticking to the old horse as long as he is
available, and taking up with his son when you must. But
one's views of such matters are apt to be found in the school
of personal experience, and, as we have shown, circ instances
have conspired to give Mr. Rose a peculiarly vivid insight in
this direction, from which he haB not been slow to draw his
conclusions.

That each generation of trotting slock at tbe average ros-
sesses far greater powers than its predecessor is beyond the
question of a doubt; but we sometimes think that individual
horses existed some generations back that, could they be re-
produced and bred upou the selected mares of lo-day would
get as successful an average of speed as any of the stallions
of to-day.

If Mr- Rose is correct in bis theory of breeding, not only
will the progeny of (Stamboul and Alcazir surpass those of
Sultan, as those of the latter surpassed those of the Moore,
but the broodmares by Sultan will outbreed those by The
Moor, and those of Stambonl and Alcazar will outbreed tbe
daughters of Sultan and The Moor. This is the logic of his
school of experience, and be has the courage to practice
according to its teachings. The views of a breeder who has
accomplished such remarkable results with so small a stud
as that of Mr. Rose, are certainly entitled to weight.— Hark
Comstock in N. Y. Spirit of Ike Times.

Rumors are current that Robert Bonner is
for the purchase of Sunol. The only reliable
that can be obtained is that the price of $50, 1
placed on the filly, and Mr. Bonner will haw
figure if he desires to buy her.

Technical Racing Terms.

Sometimes persons reirliog an account of a raoe are puz-
zled with the temii used by turf correspondent?, and fre.
quently we have been asked questions, which to the initiated
seem simple enough, but which are asked by the semi-occa-
sional race spectator in all sincerity, and with a desire for
kuowledge. To make the ordinary terms used on a track
thoroughly understood, we have carefully prepared the
following glossary, which should be read attentively, and
hereafter the reader of racing reports will have little or no
trouble in understanding the veruaoular.

Added to the charmed circle. MeaniDg that a horse has
trotted in 2.30 or better.

A(jed. An aged horse is one that is six years old or over.

All to pieces. A horse goes all to pieces when his oppo-
nent beats him badly; at least that is the common accepta-
tion of the term. Gone all to pieces means that a horse is
lacking the necessary form, to warrant him in making a
good race.

Allowances. There are certain reductions allowed from
the standard scale of weights, when so advertised, to non-
winners, or, as they are usually called, "maidens;" and also
to horses in selling races, who are entered at a lower price
than that for which the weight is fixed. Allowance in
weight is given to gentlemen riders, when public jockeys are
in the same race.

To Back. Is to bet on the horse which you fancy will
win. You can also back him for a place, meaning he will
come in either first or second.

Bach End racing. Are the races which take place at the
latter end of the year.

A Backer. A man who bets on a horse, as in contra-
distinction to the bookmaker who bets against the horse
winning.

To Boll. Is when the rider loses command of his mount
and the horse cannot be controlled, or when the horse
swerves from the course in which he should go.

Bar. The bookmakers at times will offer 2 to 1 bar one,
which means they will lay 2 to 1 against any horse in the
field except one. %

Bore. To impede the progress of a competing horse by
swerving in upon him, thus preventing a jockey from using
his whip, or to press him upon the rails.

Bottom. Means that a horse can go long races: has plenty
of endurance.

Break Away. Ahorse breaks away when almost imme-
diately after the word go is given he assumes a commanding
lead. It is also sometimes used to designate a false start.

Carom. When a jockey jostles against another in a race
he caroms. A foul.

Cast Off. A horse sold from a stable because he is thought
to be no account, or inferior in quality, ib a cast off.

Catch weight. The owner has the privilege of putting on
any weight jockey he pleases: only naturally he puts on the
lightest one possible.

Colt and Filly. A male horse is usaally designated a colt
until he enters his fourth year. A horse of the othei sex. re-
tains the term filly until she enters her fourth year.

Combination. In pool rooms backers name a horse in each
of two or more races to win, and in some instances to run
second. This is termed making a combiuation.

A Crack. A horse of high quality. The beBt horse in a
stable is usually called the crack of the stable.

A Cropper. Where a jockey is thrown from his horse he
is said to come a cropper.

Cut down the firtd. When a horse shows a splendid burst
of speed and assumes the lead after being behind, he cuts
down his field.

A dark Horse. Is one «-f whom little or nothing is
known.

Dash. A race which is settled in one essay. Not run in
heatR.

Dead Amiss. When a horse from illness is unable to ran
lie is dead amiss.

Dead Heal. When two horses come under the wire ex-
actly together it is declared a dead heat, or tie.

Duffer. A horse supposed to be no good. The terra is
al«o applied to either horse, jockey, or owner when they are
known as being unreliable.

End to End. Signifies that a horse is ridden at his utmost
speed from the start to the finish of a race.

Entrance Money. The amount paid by owners of horses to
have a horse start in a race.

False Start. When some of the horses attempt to start and
others of the field are behind, the starter does not give the
word, or let the nig fall, as those behind would be at a dis-
advantage, consequently those who have attempted to start
ninst come bick and try over again.

Favorite. The horse againt-t which the smallest odds are laid
by the bookmaker, or the horse that sells for the largest
amount in the pools.

A Long Shot. A horse which the bockmabers have laid
large odds against. An outsider.

The Field. The entire number of starters in a race. In
betting the mass of horses as opposed to the favorites.

Place Betting. When one wagers that a selected horse will
be either first or second. Some of the New York bookmakers
make a placed horse either first, second or third.

Fixed. A horse may be said to be fixed when he has been
put into a condition rendering it impossible for him to win.

Folloivhig. Is a word applied to persons who bet on a stable
or a jockey irrespective of how the betting is.

Form. A horse may be iu good form or in bad form, and
tno word applies to his fitness and condition.

Gentleman Rider. Is one who rides for sport and enjoy-
ment, and gives his services without reward. This term is
used as opposed to "jockey."

Got at. When a horse has been "fixed," lamed, poisoned,
a pail of water given him bofore the race, etc.

Handicap Race. A race iu which the weights on each
horse is arranged according to the merits aud performances
of the entry, instead of in accordance with age. As will
readily be seen the object is to give each hurse an equal
chance.

Hand* Down. "When a rider has uo occasion to use his
whip, the horse going fust enough to win without punish-
ment.

Heat Race (As opposed to a dash). When a horse has to
establish bin superiority by winning two out of three, or three
out of five beats io a race.

'/'■ Hedge. When money has beeu wagered on a horse
Homatiru^s the psrsuu so betting afterwards far cies his selec
tiof may be beaten, so he then bets on Hie other horse to
*-j\ i the money originally bet. This is termed hedging.

i aiitlOut Running. This term applies to a bor.-o who at
■s will run splendidly, while at other times he will not do
-•;-. > so well. Widt-ly varying frrin.
mront. The weight which a horse h™ to carry.

Maiden. A horse that never won a race.

A Moral. This term is used when it is thought ahorse
cannot possibly lose. Probably an abbreviation of a "moral
certainty." Morals have been known to lose, as backers
know to their sorrow.

To Nobble. To "fix" a horse (see fixed and got at).

Nowhere. When a horse comes in far behind the winner
he is said to be nowhere.

On the Post. When a horse wins in the last stride or two
he winB on the post.

Flat Racing. This is an English term meaning that there
are no jumps. Except hurdle and steeplechases all other
races are "on the flat."

Velvet, sometimes called clover. A man is betting velvet,
when he is putting up money already won. "Winnings.

A Plater. A horse not considered good enough for the
big events, but kept in the stable for "selling raceB" and
small pnraes.

A Quitter. A horse that lacks courage, and when chal-
lenged falls behind.

Pemuaders. Whip and spurs.

A Pocket. When from a combiuation of riders on the
other animals, a horse is behind another and between two
others, or one other and the rails, he is in a pocket.

Out for the Money. When a horse is going to win if possi-
ble, he is out for the money.

To Pull, means to prevent a horse from winning by hold-
ing him back.

Racing Qualities A breeder or owner of a well bred mare
not wishing to sell her out and our, will at times dispose of
her racing qualities for a period, the mare to be returned
after the alloted time has elapsed. Horses are sometimes
disposed of iu a similar manner.

Ruck, also Pack. A body of horses behind the leaders in
a race.

Shut Up. To quit. See "A Quitter."

Spread Eagle. When a horse shows such superior quality
that he is far in the load, and the balance of the field is strung
out far in the rear, he is said to spread eagle his Held.

A Slayer. A horse that can stand endurance, and per-
severe in a long and severe race.

A Sunday Horse. One capable of doing a brilliant thing
at times, but unreliable generally.

To Throw a Race. See "To Pull" and "Fixed."

A Tip. Information how to bet to the best advantage. A
"straight tip" is advice or information direct from the stable.

Gone Wrong. When a horse has been in good form, and
from sickness or any other cause cannot show his average
speed, he is said to have "gone wrong."

Welter Weight. Light welter weight is 28 pounds over the
scale; heavv welter weight is 40 pounds over.

A Length. When a horse wins by a length, that is sup-
posed to be by about nine feet. A "length of daylight" is
reallv two lengths.

Hollow Victory. "When a borse wins "hands down," or
in a canter.

Ups and Downs.

Says a writer in Bailey's Magazine: The fortunes and mis-
fortunes of owners of race horses would extend to a long
chronicle if they were to be recorded at length. Modern
instances and examples are not wanting, as it has recently
been placed on record that whilst one man's horses brought
him cash sufficient to enable him to buy back hiB family
estates, it has been stated that the horses of another man
have cost him his patrimony. And, in passing, let it be
said that the uncertainty of the great game of turf specula-
tion is never so graphically illustrated as when a horse that
has cost $2,000 retires fiom the turf without, perhaps, having
won for its owner as many shillings. There have been many
such auimalB. Men, too, could be named who have year
after year expended thousands in the buying of blooded
stock, and have never been able to place an important turf
event io the crodit of their racing account. Other men have
beeu more fortunate, but Koseoery's victories were not mat-
ters of chance. They had been carefully planned by that
excellent man of business who owned that horse, and so were
the much spoken of successes of Goldseeker.

About all that can be won in Btakes on the racing arena in
one season is a little over £400,000, and that sum divided
among the horses now in training (say from two to six-year-
olds) would only afford to each a nominal amount, and no
man who pursues the past-time of racing from pure love of
the sport, can, in face of the enormous expenditure which is
now the rule, possibly hope to reimburse his outlays from
any stakes he may win. A well informed sporting writer
wrote '■tie other day that one owner had in other seasons
paid for entries alone a sum of over £40,000. With such
outlays to contend against, what signifies the winning of a
few paltry handicaps, or even a Derby or Oaks, or both of
these classic events, with a St. Leger added. Iu one year
(1865) of his career on the turf, a great French racing mag-
nate won close upon £60,000 in England and France. That
was undoubtedly a large sum for one year'B racing work, but
when it is incorporated in the accounts of the seasons which
proved less productive or resulted in loss, it is as pence to
pounds. Other prominent supporters of the turf have in
their day experienced similar vicissitudes of fortune. In
the year 1863, a gentleman— the owner oi Macaroni— came
to the front who carried all before him, and especially win-
ning the Derby, taking out of the ring in absolute money, I
am told, the largest sum ever won over that celebrated annual
struggle.

But calculation, as brought to bear on the Turf, is best
exemplified in the war that is being continually waged be-
tween the bookmakers and the backers. In this battle the
chance and luck of the racing arena come into prominent
view. The £400,000 which are annually fought for by
owners is as a drop of rain added to the ocean when com-
pared with the enormous sums which are annually gambled
fur over the horse iu the race courses of the kingdom, aud
in the many clubs, where betting is now carried on all day
long, and in not a few of them during the night time as well.
One has but to watch the course of business in p iddocks of
any well known seat of raciiig sport to know how vast arc the
accumulated sums which change hands over each race. No
sooner are the number of the ruuners hoisted than the gam-
bling begins. A popular ready money bookmaker has been
known to draw £2,000 over a small handieap.Jand. according
to his (twn statement, to lay the odds to over £2,000 on a
good betting race in one day.

Think, then, reader, of the total Bum involved at meetings
where over a couple of hundred layers of the odds are to be
found loudly shouting for bosiui ss. giving room and verge
enough for the most wonderful frolics of fortune. Only the
other day the fact was recorded of a bookmaker's clerk, who,
beginning with a sovereign (he wasspeculatingon hiB own ac-
count) was so fotunatf bb to end his endeavors by the pock-
eting oi a sum of £1,300. Such tales have of ten been told,

but when Fortune bestows her favors the grateful recipients
are prone to boast of the fact. On the other hand, when
Fortune frowns nothing is said, the loser haB then to bear
his 'bad turn' as well as he can. It is needless to say that
for one winner of the kind alluded to there are ninety-nine
losers. The men who do the business of laying the odds on
the turf mnst find a profit, and a glance at the daily returns
will show that they usually manage to obtain the where
withal to pay a hundred when it is won, and have a bit for
themselves.

How Shall We Breed Winners?

Observer writes to the National Live Stock Journal as fol-
lows:— The question of how winners are to be bred is easier
asked than answered. We have hitherto bred winners from
their like. We may expect the same cause to produce the
same effect in the future. Like producing like is the legiti-
mate effect of inheritance. It must produce its counterpart
agreeable to the logic of evenls, unless prevented by the vio-
lation of some law of nature. The fastest horses in the
world would naturally produce the fastest colt in existence
if like produces like, or the likeness of an nnce6tor. This
rule may be counteracted by some physical defect in the
constitution of the progeny, inherited from their parents.
If we select sound parents to breed from, with a good pedi-
gree running back through a long line of powerful ancestors,
we should, according to hereditary law, get the leading char-
acteristics that gave speed and value to those great progen-
itors.

It was the law of inheritance that gave character and value
to the descendants of Flying Childers, English Eclipse and
King Herod. It was the same hereditary influence in this
country that gave distinction to the descendants of Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. Mambrino Chitf and Justice Morgan. The
inheritance that they entailed on their posterity has not only
enriched individuals, but has contributed to publio pros-
perity and the wealth of the State. The runners and trotters
of great celebrity owe their distinction, in a remarkable de-
gree, to these distinguished sires. The same blood flows in
the veins of their progeny that caused the triumph of their
illustrious ancestors. If we keep the blood pure that has
bred up such a race of winners, it will perpetuate the siine
indomitable energy to future generations of horses, aDd
spread over the land the glad tidings of victory. The re-
nown achieved in the triumph of victory is i uperishable. It
will not crumble into dust, but live in the veneration of the
public as long as the art of printing survives.

We should patronize progenitors that seldom fail to stamp
an enduring impress upon their offspring. We can estimate
the value of the sire from the number of winners be has
eired, aud determine the merits of the dam bv her pedigree
and produce. This rule seldom fails to give a faithful history
of thedistinguished horses that have figured in the pedigree.
It is a charter of their origin, and a history of the improve-
ment of the breed. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

The progeny have the temper, habits, and likeness of their
ancestors. Those bred in high condition will have all the
speed and stamina of their most distinguished ancestors
Hence we have the form and action and general cl aracter-
istics of the breed reproduced. What better sign of a pure
and perfect pedigree is there than superior produce? It is a
living photograph of the family, representing kindred blood
through a long line of predecessors, terminating in an illus-
trious race of worthy descendants. We want no better evi-
dence of the merits of a breed than the fruits of their union.
It proves their quality through the medium of positive
facts, based upon actual trials.

When we have started a breod upon a good foundation, we
must rear them np agreeable to the laws of health. The
food and care bestowed upon the growth and development of
the equine tribe, determines, iu a remarkable degree, their
future value. They should be fed on that bone and muscle-
making food that will grow a superior quality of flesh and
bone. The cereals and nutritious grasses are indispensable
to the production of a superior claBS of horses. They must
have a bountiful supply of food to sustain the natural waste
of the body, and to re-supply the blood with the constituents
of living matter that enters into the growtn of the muscular
structure and stimulates the organs to superlative action. It
is the powerful structure founded upon hereditary law, and
developed by artificial cultivation, that makes great horses.
Let us examine the history of some of our most celebrated
horses, and see how they were reared.

Amerioan Eclipse was reared in the following manner, ac-
cording to a memorandum in the handwriting of Gen. Na-
thaniel OcleB, the breeder. The colt was weaned on the 10th
of November, 1814. At the ( ommencement of winter he was
fed with-foui quarts of shorts, which was increased during
the winter to eight quarts per day, hay, clover dampened.
Second year — In the spring turned to grass with no grain;
November 10th put up; fed with eight quarts of shorts per
day; during winter, shorts increased to ten quarts; hay the
same as first winter. Third year — Turned out with four
quartB of shorts per day; September 1st commenced break-
ing; feed, eight quarts oats; through the winter hay as for-
merly; grain, ground corn and oats equal to eleven quarts of
oats; March lstcommeoced and trained for nine weeks, then
gave a trial of two miles, and found the colt very superior.
Fourth year — Iu summer turned to graBs; fed with ground
oats and corn equal to nine quarts of oats; iu winter, hay as
formerly, with nine quarts oats per day till March 1, 1818,
when commenced training; feed, oats aud cracked corn
equal to twelve quarts oats. Fifth year— Lite in May, lb'lS,
run the three-mile heats at Newmarket, on Loog Island, and
won the first day's purse with ease, beating Black-Eyed Su-
san and Sfa Gull, then oalled the best thrne-year-old of the
day; turned to grass first of June with about six quarts of
oats per day; iu wiuter, fed with lyiy us before, with erouud
corn and oats; March 15, 1819, sold Eclipse to, Mr. Van
Raust.

It is interesting to know how this great race-horse was
reared, and to learn about the food that assisted to develop
his powers to become the champion of America. He was not
confined to the stable, when a colt, in the winter, but turned
iu to a yard every fair day. Eclipse, when a colt following
his dam at five mouths old, showed his owner such a wonder-
ful stride that he named him Americau Ellipse. He honored
the rame by performing the greatest achievements knowu to
the early annals of racing. He was allowed to mature before
he was called upon to exert every nerve and muscle iu the
body to win long, bruising, four-mile races. Ellipse, like bis
English namesake, never lost a racu. At uiiie years old he
was retired from the tuif without a rival. His owner an-
nounced his determination, "never, on any consideration, to
risk the life and reputation of the noble animal, whose
generous and almost incredible exertions have gained for the.
north so signal a victory, and for himself buch well-earned
and never fadinc renown."

CATTLE.

A Huere Steer.

Mr. James Kiernan, of Shasta Valley, purchased from
David Deter, of Little Shasta, a steer, which weighed 2,420
pounds on foot, and shipped it to Grayson, Owen & Co.,
the extensive beef contractors for the San FranciBco and
Oakland markets. It was sold at special rates, as beef of
that kind sells for aboat 40 and 50 cents a pound on the
block in this city. Tbis immense steer of the Durham breed,
was famished to Owen Lafferty, of the People's Market, in
Oakland, and tbe mammo<h quarters bung up attracted the
attention of epicures, who looked with longing eyes on the
feast in store for those desirous of securing choice, j'licy
steaks. This 3teer was stall fed, and it would be difficult
to estimate the exact number of tonB of barley consumed by
him before he fell a sacrifice. He was led around thestieets
of Oakland before Christmas, on exhibition, to advertise what
was in Btore for customers at the People's Market on Christ-
mas dav, a' d the demand proved greater than the rush for
turkeyB or any other meat. This huge specimen of beef,
was the finest and lar est ever seen in Oakland, or probably
anywhere else, and Deter of Little Shasta, baa more of
the same kind, being noted for his great care and attention in
raisins the finest and fattest beef stoek to be found on
this coast or in any section of tbe country.

Care For the Oow.

The instinct of retaliation when subjected to ill usage iB
common to all animals, in varying degree, and is never
wholly eliminated f;om our domestic ones, no matter how
thoroughly trained they may be. By reason of this — the in-
stinct of self-preservation — some of our domestic animals are
viciouB. and endanger tbe lives of their owners. Some have
this inBtinct less prominently developed, and are simply
troublesome to handle, while otherB show almost none of it.

In farming, which is a purely money-making business,
these facts ate frtqueutly considered, to the exclusion of
other facts in animal life which are of equally great impor-
tance. The Western farmer is the Achilles whose most vul-
nerable point, by reasou of his surrounding circumstances,
is his pocket; and anything which is likely to attack him
there will bear watching Perhaps no one of the animalB
with which he comes in contact is capable of retaliating so
strongly when ill treated, or of responding so readily when
well treated, as the milch cow. If fed upon poor or insuffi-
cient food, if compelled to withstand the storms without
Bnfficient protection, if roughly or brutally treated, she
strikes back every time, always hits the vulnerable part — the
pocket-book.

On the other hand, if she is well fed, well housed and well
handled, her response is most ready; and we doubt if any ani-
mal ever kept by the general farmer brings better returns to
his pocket-book than does the milch cow that is "built that
way."

The Ripening of Cream.

Now as to ripening cream, the writer did not know the
general opinion of it, but be would assert that if they had
two dairies of fifty cows each, in one of which they churned
a sweet oreani and in the other eour cream, a strict record
would show much larger profit in favor of sour cream. It
was well known that the Danes artificially Bonred their
cream. They were wise, because they obtained a better
yield. A friend of his, a Dane, now a chemist in Sweden at
one of the colleges, had made a series of experiments in proof
of this, but they had done tbe Bame in Canada. They
churned with different creams. No. 1 was Bweet and No. 6
sour, the intermediate samples being more or less sour in
proportion. The result was that No. 1 gave 5J pounds per
cent, of butter in the buttermilk; No. 3, 31.2 pounds; No. 4,
2A pounds; No 5, 1 pound, and No. 6 one-fourth pound.
Sour cream churned better, and it mixed better than partly
sweet and partly sour, which entailed great loss, Neverthe-
less, the Danes were wrong in one particulai, they washed
their butter in the buttermilk and not in cold water, thus
inclosing much caseine or curd, and that it was prevented
their butter preserving fine flavor on arriving here. It could
not compare with onr butter for this reason, nor even with
the French. We could beat either if we liked, and we were
generally doing it. Preserving batter depended entirely up-
on the removal of the curd, and not on the presence of salt-
—Mark Lane Express.

Select Dams Carefully.

Constitutional Vieor.

It has often been said that "the bull is half the herd," and
this is in a certain sense true, for while there may be forty
calves from as many different dams during the season, each
will inherit more or less from the individual dam, making in
every case a different combination, and the longer one lives,
and the more cloBely he studhs the problems of heredity
from practical results, the more importance will he attach to
the dam, says the Breeder's Gazelle. In that very strange
and incongruous story entitled "An African Farm" there is a
world of rubbish, but the author occasionally causes Lyndall,
tbe heroine of the story, to give utterance to some great troths,
worded in language that is sometimes startline in its plain-
ness, and among them is her assertion that "there was never
a great man without a great mother." The statement is
scarcely an exaggeration— all history, so far as we know tbe
facts, attests its truth— aod it affords an explanation of the
often-noticed fact that so few of our great men have children
that are worthy of them. The fact is especially noticeable in
horses that have become famous on the turf. Tbe writer
hereof i few years ago, when engaged in compiling a record
of the pedigrees of the famouB trotters, became impressed
with the fact that in almost every instance where the pedi-
gree of a great trotter was unknown lie found the legend
"dam a great road mare." The lesson U obvious; select the
sire with as much care as you may — you cannot be too par-
ticular in thU — but if you expect to achieve success as a
breeder of any kind of stock pay quite as much, if not more,
attention to the females that are to become the dams of the
herd or flock. The success that has been attained by the
Wood^urn farm in breeding trotters affords a striking illus-
tration of this, and wore than one famous Bire has had his
reputHtion based upon the produce of a single brood mare
The la a is tbe same throughout all animal life, and should
be ftB generally recognized by breeders of cattle, sheep and
swipe as it is now by breeders of trotting horses,

Among the large number of people incidentally interested
in Btock-raising, there is quite a common opinion that all
well-bred stock is delicate and lacking the constitutional
vigor of mongrel Btock. But the practical breeder of fine
Btock knows that the facts of the case are not as they appear
to the minds of those whose experience with well-bred ani-
mals is limited, says Colmaii's Rural World.

In pome respects all highly bred £stook may be called
lender, but this does not imply the delicac}' of constitution
that is often inferred. Cows or horses, with their soft skins
and fine coats, cannot endure the same amount of cold and
wet that thicker-skinned, lcng-haired mongrels can, not on
account of their constitutions, but because of their covering*.

Their constitutions not being so well protected, they are
more easily affected. They need a little more care on this
account, but the extra labor is not begrudged t y those who
know the comparative value of well-bred and morjgrel stock.

There is great danger, however, of a constitutional weak-
ness becoming a characteristic of a breed. Greater than it is
among m mgr«4 stock. Ch lice etock animals may have a
constitutional weakness, just as common stock may, but tbe
choice animal is bred to so much more, that of a necessity
he becomes instrumental in spreading his peculiar disorder.
Once transmitted, it is very apt to be perpetuated, and if to
some simple constitutional disorder is added still other diffi-
culties, the result compounded in succeeding generations is
likely to amount to something serious, «nd to eradicate it
from the breed is us difficult as it is to breed out any other
race peculiarity.

The breeders of to-day whose ideas of their calling are not
bound downby ancient rules are fully alive to the fact that a
clean bill of health in a long pedigrea is quite as important
us a long line of other qualities. They krow that disease
may be induced by coudiiions of existence, and perpetuated
by the Uws of heredity, just as other peculiarities maybe
taken on and handed down.

The importance of selecting sires free from constitutional
weakness can scarcely be overstated, and all breeders should
examine the breeding of the sire with as much care regarding
this point as any other. Good health is a part of a slock
animal's desirable individual quality, and the constitutional
vigor of his ancestors is of equil importance with any other
ancestral virtue.

Butter Making i-i Devonshire.

By the courtesy of the Right Hon. Sir Thomas Ackland,
Bart, a correspondent was privileged to attend tbe dairy
class at the Home Farm. Miss Maidment demonstrated the
making of butter from cream separated by the latest meth-
ods, and Mrs. Quartley made butter by the old-fashioned
plan of scilding tbe cream. Each demonstrator was nllowed
fifteen gallons of milk, the weight of which was a little over
one hundred and fifty pounds. And en passant it is as well
to mention the groat importance of weighing milk rather
than measuring it, a point which was incidentally referred to
by Sir T. Ackland. Miss Maidment treated her subject in
an exceedingly interesting manner, lucidly explaining each
point as she proceeded, and giving her audience some hints
whioh cannot fail to prove of the greatest value. She ex-
plained that the most important point in churning was to
stop immediately the butter breaks or assumes granular
form. UuleBs this is done it is impossible to extricate the
buttermilk. She then washed the butter in three waters and
plaoed it in a strong brine — made in the proportion of two
pounds of salt to eight quarts of water— where it was allowed
to stand for four minutes. It was then placed on the bntter
worker, and the water gently pressed out of it. When it
was thoroughly worked the butter was broken and the grain
was distinctly shown, at the same time keeping "as close as
wax." Miss Maidment then demoustrated how^ood butter
oan be made on the system in vogue in Devonshire without
the use of the churn or butter worker, to which, she said,
she lately had devoted some Btudy. She showed that in this
way it could be made quite as granulated as churned butter.
She used scalded cream, and the only appliances was a pair
of Scotch hands — which the uninitiated should be informed
are two pieces of flat wood with handles — and an ordinary
dairy tub. Stirring the cream with one of the Scotch hands
until it assumed a granulated form, Bhe washed it in brine,
and m>ide it up into pattieB, and it was found to be equal to
that made by the butter-worker. None of the butter made
by Miss Maidment was touched with the hands, so that a
dairymaid with a cold hand is no longer such a valuable per-
son as she was wont to be esteemed.

An interesting point mentioned by Miss Maidment waB
that the best way to test bntter is to snap it in halves. When
so broken it should resemble a piece of oast iron, every grain
should separate, and it should bp perfect in texture. Answer-
ing questions addressed to her by members of the class Miss
Maidment said that the temperature of cream for churning
in the winter should be fifty-nine, but on no account should
warm water be mixed with it. To raise it to the right tem-
perature abottle of warm watershould be stood in the cream,
or it sbonld be placed in a room where the thermometer
stood at 60 degrees. In the summer, tbo night beforechurn-
ing, the cream should be Btood in a largo tub of cold, spring
salt water. There were three principal things to be observed
in butter making— temperature, cleanliness and uniformity
in quality and color. The temperature of the dairy should
be 55 degrees in summer and 60 degrees in winter, and no
dairy should be without a floating thermometer, which she
preferred because it was made of glass, and therefore easily
washed. The use of a separator, turned by steam, horse or
water power, wai considered the best way for making
cream in large dairies. And it should not be unnoticed that
the same power which is used for driving the separator could
be utilized lor turning the churn, butter worker, etc., thus
effecting a great saving of labor. The great thing in butter
making was to preserve the butter in the finest granulated
form, and when the granules were about the size of the heads
of pins it should be washed in order to get out the caseine,
or curd, which invariably turned bntter sour. The reason
why brine was u^ed instead of dry salting was this:— Butter,
dry sa ted, required much more working, and therefore the
grain was* more likely to be destroyed. If the salt was not
properly intermixed, the butter would be full of wet streaks
aud spots. The reason why thelbntter should not be touched
by the hand was because the heat caussd thereby would
destroy the grain of the butter entirely, which was just what
they wanted to prevent. Moreover, the hand was very injur-
ious to the keeping qualities of tbe butter. If these few
details were more generally attended to there would not be a
bit of bad butter in the United Kingdom.

The Model Stock Parmer.

The model stock farmer is he who is content with nothing
but the best, either in flocks or herds. He may possibly
grow Buch stock as his farm is best adapted to, or he may
buy a farm suited to the rearing of a certain kind of stock
that particularly Btrikes his fancy, but in either case he
stops short of nothing but the highest type of that which he
breeds. The man who has a well-filled pocketbook and can
stock his farm with pure breeds, with fashionable pedigrees,
is not necessarily a model stock farmer. Such a one may be
a very poor breeder indeed — anything elfe but a model. It
id no feat of wisdom to be able to purchase the prize-wii.tnn
fi-oni some one's herd who has spent years to bring his ani-
mals up to this high standard of perfection. To the farmer
who begins at the bottom of the ladder, and, with only the
scrub stock that his limited means will buy, produces a flock
or herd of superior animals, by judicious crossing and
grading up, the meed of praise is due. He makes the busi-
ness a special life study, rinds great delight in experimenting
and watching the results of his labors, and sets an example
worthy to be imitated. He is indeed and in truth the model
stock farmer. We learn to look to him for advice aud in-
struction in his specialty, and we always find him just us
ready to impart as we are to receive the knowledge desired.
However enthusiastic and energetic he may be in his work,
he is never too busy to counsel the new beginner, and give
him whatever is desired from his fund of wis 'om. In
practice he breeds to get out all there is in the favorite
kinds of animals he keeps upon the farm. He generally has
a specialty of some particular breed of stock, and improves
it, approximating perfection according to his standard of ex-
cellence, but he does not do this to the detriment of other
kinds of Btook, for they receive proper atteution, and are
graded to a high degree of excellence. The model stock
farmer is of incalculable worth to the community in wh'ch
he lives, but of ten receives poor encouragement for the un-
tiring energy put forth, from those who should know and
Bpeak of him as a public bei efactor. His envious, un-
lettered neighbors generally hold him up to public ridicule
as far as possible, and if his experiments nrove unsuccessful
in any instance, he is laughed to scorn, and the circumstance
is held as a sweet morsel under the tongues of bis lesB en-
lightened neighbors. Instead of being encouraged to go on
in the good work, he is discouraged and belittled, and sage
agriculturalists advise him to go back aud fall in rank with
ihe common herd. His failur s ooly nerve him to greater
effort. He profits by his mistakes, and improves from
dearly bought experience. When he perchance meets a kin-
dred spirit, it is a love feast indeed, and he gathers in
enough consolation to last him quite a distance aloDg life's
journey. Surrounded thus by old fogies, who are constantly
trying to pull him down, it is a wonder that his illustrious
example ever buds, blossomB or bears fruit; but it does, aud
generally he has the consolation of living long enough to see
rising up around him energetic young men, imbued with
progressive aims and purposes akin to his own. — W. W.
Stephens, in Western Agriculturist.

Better a Good Steer Than a Mean Bull.

The breeders of blooded cattle, says the American Dairy-
man, are always greatly exercised over what to do with the
reduudant bulls. Just now the Holstein breeders are dis-
cussing the matter with a view to refusing a certain percen-
tage of them to admission to tbe herd book. The sole pur-
pose of such a move would appear to be an effort to "bull"
the market and force up prices for those that are left. If
this wsb done on the basis of performance of dams, thus
insuring the best animals among those that are registered, we
could see some sense in the movement, but why should not
all the bulls be registered, so that those proving good can be
used in the pure herds. The trouble is that there is no
means of cutting out the poor cows. They are the o- es that
should be refused registry. Bulls from good cows, no matter
how ugly they may be, are excellent for use in native herds,
but what can be done with the unprofitable female? She
goes on breeding just as industriously as does the profitable
cow, making more poor fema.'es and blocking tbe market
with still poorer bulls. Is there no way for getting at the
poor co* to send her to the butcher's block, where she
belongs?

The Rural World is aware of the fact that there is appar-
ently a surplus of bulls of the improved breeds, but the
trouble is more apparent than real. Of tbe 30.000 farms in
Missouri an improved bull cannot be found ou one per cent,
of them; that is to say, there are not 300 hulls of improved
blood in use in the State, or one to every odo hundred farms.
This is course is estimated, but had we said hall that number,
we believe it would be nearer the truth. There are in the
neighborhood of 660,000 cows in the State or an average of
two to each farm, calling for the services of twelve thousand
bulls, if each was to staud to fifty cows a year. Oh no.
we are not over-stocked with blooded bulls; the great diffi-
culty is in rinding customers for them ann.ng tbe men who
are breeding to Bcrubs or grades the produce of their own
scrub cows. This always was a difficulty and ever will be
so long as they who breed bulls refuse to advert se and sell
them at private sale to those within range of their own farms
so to speak. The farmer breeder is not ordinarily a good
salesman, or for that matter, a good business man as we
fipd them in commercial life; but when we do find such an
one, we never find him over-stocked with bulls.

But as all men are not first-class salesmen, huv'ng tbe
aptitude for ferreting out customers and disposing of their
surplus stock, as the men who sell merchandise, we may
possibly do the nest best thing and make good steeis of
them. Good steers illustrate what blood will do. A three-
year-old weighing fourteen or fifteen hundred pounds, makes
a most admirable object lesson, particularly if well handled
from birth and nicely finished, bee tuse it affords the farmers
who breed native cows to bulls of the same perHunsicin an
opportunity of comparing them; Unit is to say, of seeing
what other m«n have done, and what they themselves cau
do. If three-fifths of the bulls were altered and thus used,
the reraainine two-fifths would bring -s much money as if
the whole had nil been saved entire. Belter sell forty bulls
at one hundred dollars apiece than oue hundred at forty
dollars. If the breeders had only the grit to see it in Mint
light, thai would be the end Attained. Belter haw f
tomers for one bull than four bulls and only ou
and it wonld in the end be better all round, for oi
individuals would be saved, and the probability
like produces like, tbe hest would, even at thb In
be the cheapest animal to the buyer.

Pacific Coast T. H- B- A.

As Captain Smith is still away from home, the call
for a meeting to organize the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association has not been issued. We
are extremely desirous that he should attend the meet-
ing, and sincerely hope that his health will soon be so
much improved, or rather that his recovery be so com-
plete, as to permit his presence.

Christopher Buckley.

Washington Park, Chicago.

The stakes of the above popular club close on Tuesday
next, the 15th inst. It is so nearly supererogatory to say
anything, further than to make the announcement of
the closing of the stakes, that the only requirement
necessary is to call attention to the closing so near the
time that the fact will not be overlooked by those who
are desirous of making nominations.

It is safe to assert that few owners of horses who have
attended the Chicago meeting are not gratified with
having participated, and it is one of the great points of
interest with California turfmen.

The added money to the stakes is on the most libera}
scale, the forfeits are small, the course and its adjuncts
of the highest class, the management popular, and then
Chicago, in summer time, is as pleasant a city to visit
as can be found on the Continent. From June 22d to
July 20th the weather is unusually fine, and thougb in
the latter part of July the heat may be fervent, when-
ever the breeze comes from the eastward, it is nearly as
refreshing as the western aerial currents which flow
through the Golden Gate.

Apart from the stakes, there are purses and handicaps
with sueh varying conditions, that any sort of a horse
which is entitled to the appellation of a race horse is
sure to earn something, purses fur these ranging from
$600 to S750; and this is a boon which owners who en-
deavor to make their horses pay expenses, and who are
obliged by their circumstances to depend partly, at
leas,, on their earnings, will appreciate.

.rbe advertisement will afford all the necessary in-
!'»«- nation. Entry blanks will be furnished at this office,
1 any assistance required to make nominations cheer-
i v given.

"We admire Christopher Buckley. Although politics
are tabooed in the Breeder and Sportsman, except in
cases where the interests in which we are so deeply in-
terested are threatened, that does not prevent expres-
sions of admiration when there is uDusual capacity dis-
played. We admire fine horses, whether the royal race-
horse, the flying trotter, the stately animals which form
part of the pomp and panoply of wealth, the gallant
charger, and the ponderous draft horse, when far above
their fellows, elicit admiration. We admire superiority
no matter what form it takes. The powerful athlete
who sends the heavy hammer far beyond where some
puny dude could hurl the hand implement of a black"
smith, the clean limbed, truly proportioned sprinter, who
can knock off 1.30 yards inside of 15 seconds, to sum it
up in as few words as possiblo, physical championship
of any kind is a quality which we delight in. But fer-
vently as we admire physical characteristics, there is a
still greater degree of admiration when mental qualifi-
cations are of a high order. We cannot fail to express
admiration for a man who, under circumstances which
would appal men of strong nerve, can exert such a pow-
erful influence as this blind, and, as we are informed,
of rather a weakly constitution, wields in city and State.
We never saw Mr. Buckley excepting once at San Jose,
and then he was pointed out as he went through the door.
We never heard the tones of his voice, and therefore the
only data to measure his capacity is the work he has
accomplished. That is wonderful. There must be an
odic force, a will power, magnetism, mesmerism or soine
other potent attraction with which he sways, not only
his followers, but men who caine to curse, and leave him
with a warm grasp of the hand, converts ready to obey
his beck or command whenever he gives the signal.
Journals of immense influence, writers of renown, ora-
tors who can move an assemblage to tears, langhter and
virtuous resolutions lose their power whenever the attack
is directed against this invulnerable general. We hear of
hitn entering a room where factions were warring, where
oaths, shrieks and blows made a pandemonium of dis-
cord, and when the magic of his voice was heard, ere a
full sentence was enunciated, the storm was lulled. Never
oil on waves, never a torrent of water on fire so instantly
efficacious. He handles men as a skilful chessplayer
manipulates pawns, bishops, knights, rooks, queens and
kings, men who would be turbulent, rebellious under
any other leader are as docile as lambs. It is not neces-
sary to portray what this man has effected, and tha^
against odds which appeared to ensure, to warrant vio-
tory beyond doubt or uncertainty, and he stands in the
pass and routes theru_as the handful of Greeks threw
back their enemies at Thermopylae, as Wallace with his
single blade overpowered a score of assailants through
wearing armor which was proof against lance and long-
bow.

Now we learn that this man whom we admire is going
to stand in the way of the passage of a bill which is of
vital importance to the horse-breeding interests of this
State, and that is an interest which we are bound to sub-
serve to the best of our ability. We have heard Mr.
Buckley was interested in every pool and book-making
room in San Francisco, and one of our informants was
in a position to obtain reliable intelligence.

This may or may not be, and it does not figure in the
argument further than to show that he has a big pecu-
niary stake at issue. Whether his antagonism to a
measure arises from a desire to "protect" his own reve-
nue, or anxiety to protect his friends, the effect is the
same, and hence his antagonism is likely to be fervent,
and the battle conducted with his usual skill and deter-
mination. With the major general of the California
democracy to guide the opposing forces with so many of
his field marshals in Senate and Assembly with his
coadjutors in the "third house," the campaign is sure to
bo arduous from the time the first gun is fired until the
last redoubt is carried. The only hope of those who
desire that California shall retain the foremost place as
the breeding ground and nursery of fine and fast horses^
and who realize the strength of the obstacles which are
in the way, is to blaze the path as soon as possible, bring
their forces into the field at the earliest moment, orga-
nize and drill and "fight it out" on the line of reform if
it takes the whole session to gain the victory.

Hereafter we shall endeavor to show, for that matter
will prove by irrefragable testimony, that pool and bet-
ting rooms which are kept open as long as race-meetings
are held, and that nowadays is from the first of Jan-
uary until the 31st of December, are not only a present
drawback but threaten the destruction of racing and
trotting on this coast. Furthermore, that every fair from
San Diego to Siskiyou, from the Pacific to the eastern
boundary line of the State is affected at present, and
with an exceeding gloomy outlook for the future if the
evil is not remedied.

In this connection it may be well to state that we
have Dot a word to say derogatory to those who are
engaged in the busiuess. Acquainted with nearly all of
the bookmakers and pool- sellers, intimately so with sev-
eral of them, and so far as that knowledge extends, their
business is pursued with due regard to fair dealing. It
is not their fault that men will pay large premiums for
the sake of laying a wager, and it would be equally just
to declaim against a man, who, by superior business
tact, had obtained goods at a low price and held them at
rateB which others, not so fortunate in purchasing could
afford to sell them at, as to rail against a bookmaker for
laying short odds when those who took them thought a
"long shot" was their due. Therein no compulsion, and
it is optional with the taker whether he makes the
investment or "lets it alone."

Neither do we give the slightest heed to the charge of
"manipulating" races. A successful bookmaker must
have more than an average share of acumen. If he
lacks in judgment his career will be short. He must be
well balanced, of quick perception, and have the power
to analyze character. His whole dependence is on square
racing. Ten to one that he will get the worst of a fraud-
ulent race, aud it would not require long arguments to
prove that statement to be correct. Should he enter
into a partnership with trainer or jockey he places him-
self at the mercy of his confederates, and it is still longer
odds than ten to one that a man who had the weakness
to join in fraud would develop strength sufficient to be
master of the man who bought him. Were bookmakers
such rascals as some designing men claim, and which a
few well-meaning men, but entirely ignorant of the
business, think the evil would rectify itself without othtr
aid.

As it stands there will Lave to be a stubborn fight
with the advantages of a concentration of forces iu
the opposition.

Not Quite the Thing.

Mr. L. J. Rose, in a short communication, which ap-
peals in another column, suggesting a circuit commenc-
ing at San Diego, and then Los Angeles, Fresno, San
Jose, Stockton, Napa, and so on, has overlooked Santa
Rosa, Petaluma and Oakland. These have been held
heretofore in the order as written above, and it is nearly
certain that the Golden Gate will adhere to the date it
has held for so long a time, viz., the week preceding the
State Fair.

The suggestion, however, that Mr. Shippee should
call a meeting, to escape as much as possible from clash-
ing of dates, is a gooa one, and well worthy of being
ac ted UDon.

A Wrong Impression.

"Grim" copies the following paragraph:

The following advice is taken from fhe Kushville, Ind.,
Graphic: If you have a promising race-horse that you want
to advertise or put in the stud, take him to California aud
give him a record. Take a lesson from Bell Boy's perform-
ance, aud others. They trot at least five seconds faster in
that climate.

This is likely to create an impression that horses trot
faster in California than they can in the East, whereas
the truth is that with few exceptions the reverse is the
case. St. Julien, Palo Alto, Bonita, Manzanita, Hinda
Rose and others have lowered their California records on
Eastern 'racks. Regarding Bell Boy. His driver, Mr.
CatoD, was in the office a few days ago, and informed us
that Bell Boy was in such bad condition when he took
him that he could not trot a "forty gait," and in bis race
at Detroit 2:31 was all that he could do. Unquestiona-
bly the California climate was a potent aid to recovering
condition, and should he return East without mishap,
and reach the Cleveland track in good order, he will
"knock off" several seconds from 2:19£.

The paragraph quoted is a revival of the old story.
When St, Julien trotted in 2: I2j{, columns were pub-
lished in the Eastern papers discrediting the account,
and we wrote pages in reply. This was effectually
squelched by his oriental campaign, and when the Palo
AUo contingent swept the country on the far side of the
Missouri with a succession of victories, wbea California
colts displayed such qualities of speed and euduranco on
Eastern tracks that they were debarred from partici-
pating in races for colts of their -age, the answer was
more emphatic than volumes of writing, the retort to
the false charges so forcible that people of any Bense
dropped the controversy, and had to acknowledge that
California had trotters which were capable of playing
their part more than satisfactorily in any part of the
country, and over any track which other hovseB could trot
upon.

Shelby Barnes, the light weight colored jockey, had 205
winning mounts last year, 80 more than McLaughlin had in
1887. Some of his friends in New Vork have presented him
with a handsome picture of the Futurity winner, Proctor
Knott.

Stanford and Occident Stakes, 1889—1890.

A very fair proportion of the colts nominated in the
Stanford Stake and Occident Stake of 1SS9 have made
third payments, eight in the first and eleven in the
second. As there were fourteen which made the second
payment in the Stanford of 18S9, one of which, Nor-
laine, was burned to death, it is good evidence that there
has been satisfactory progress. Palo Alto has kept four
in of the six original nominations, so that in reality only
one has been thrown out. It speaks well for the spirit
of the other subscribers to the stake, that with Sunol
eligible tbey were willing to abide the combat, the only
ones declaring being a bay colt by Stamboul, a bay
filly by Guy Wilkes, and Biilliaut by Director. In all
probability these colts met with mishaps, though eight
in fourteen is certainly a good proportion. There
were twenty which remained in the Occident for
1889, and of these eleven put up the third pay-
ment which ~is also doing well, and when one comes to
the stakes to be decided in 1890 there is an extremely
gratifying showing. There were twenty-eight nomina-
tions in the Stanford stake for that year, and twenty of
them "stay in." Th^re were fifty-three in the Occident,
and no less than forty-two have signified their willing-
ness to remain, twenty-two of them credited to Palo
Alto. As twenty-two were all that were named in the
first place, this is the most remarkable showing one ever
knew in a stake of any kind. Only two which dropped
to the rear in twelve months, leaving twenty to battle
for the honor and glory attending the winning of the
stakes is something unparalleled in the 'history of trot-
ting colt stakes. That twenty in twenty-two encoun-
tered the vicissitudes attending that critical period of
colthood, and came out, not only safe, but also exhibi-
ting such capacity as to warrant further investment, is,
to say the least, astonishing. The following are the lists:

The Colt Show.

From several conversations held with admirers of trot-
ters, and two who are likely to join in the exhibition,
the proposition made last week meets with general appro-
val. "We have spoken to officials connected with the
State and Golden Gate Fair, and they were favorably
inclined, bnt there seems to bea drawback in the large
number of stalls required when all the room is impera-
tively demanded by the animals which compete for the
regular premiums. In that case the exhibition might
be held on eit'ier the Bay District or Oakland track
some time prior to the opening of the Fairs circuit, when
the drawback alluded to would not exist. There is
another point which may tend to differences of opinion,
that is, the judging, but in our opinion that is only a
fanciful drawback. There are a hundred men in Cali-
fornia any three of which would meet with our approba-
tion, and, in fact, we will be as well suited with oue man
to decide as three or more.

The plan which appears to meet with the most fYivor
is to have five or more nominations to fill, so that the
minimum number of colts will be fifty. We cannot
imagine an exhibition in the horse Hue that would be
so interesting to the horse-loving public. There is
scarcely a doubt of it being gotten up.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

i'LEASA\IO.\ STOCK 1AJO].

By referring to the advertising pages it will be seen that
there are several new advertisements, every one of which
demands special notice. Taking them in the order repre-
sented on the "proof," the first is a double column ad. of tue
Pleasanton Stock Farm Sale, and although the appended re-
marks are brief, enough is conveyed to prove that the "lot"
is remarkable in many respects. The get of Director, Nut-
wood, Sidney, Monroe Chief, Steinway and Del Sur, from
such mares as Sweetness, Echora, Electioneer mare, Fernleaf,
etc., it must be a hypercritical individual which is not satis-
tied with the blood lines. Goldleaf and her brother, a half
brother to Sidney, a brother to Direct, a sister to Miss Gil-
mer, a half sister to Margaret S., and a Del Sur mare in foal
to Director, eleven in all, every individual of them with
claims to a high place.

J. OK1NE HOUSE HIMIl'S AND TIKI UOODS-

Any one who will take the trouble to step into 767 Market
street will not question the accuracy of the statement that a
wonderfully full stock of everything pertaining to the turf,
track and road will be found on exhibition. San Francisco'
"leads the world" in one class of horse equipments, and in
every kind of equine furnishing goods is not far behind. Mr.
O'Kane has been so many years in the business that his know-
ledge of the wants of the coast is so extensive that he is pre-
pared to furnish everything wanted in his line.

SACRAMENTO COLT STAKES.

The indefatigable Secretary, Wilbur Field Smith, of the
Sacramento Colt Stake Association, gives publicity to rive
colt stakes, three for trotters and two for pacers. The trot-
ting stakes are limited to named counties, and though as a
rule we are opposed to "ruling out" colts wherever bred or
owned, it becomes an absolute necessity in some cases. The
southern line of eligibility is the south boundary of Yolo and
San Joaquiu counties, and though this iuclades the farm
which has Hawthorne at the head, and the district where
Tilton Almont, Alexander Button, Berlin and many other
good stallions are domiciled, it was a wise move to cut off the
portion where so far the "world beaters" have been bred and
reared. There is plenty of material to make good sport in
the district named, and the restriction will induce nomina-
tions which otherwise would not have been sent. Pacing
stakes for colts is a late innovation, and California has not
only jumped to the topmost round of the ladder in this
branch of sport, but, metaphorically illustrating, has bounded
so far above the topmost round that another metaphor is
applicable, viz.: "as high as Gilderoy's kite." "Without
really knowing the altitude that celebrated sky traveller
reached, if it soared as high as the young California pacers of
1S88, it went to a mere speck in the cerulean vault. Hereto-
fore it has been held that fast pacers were a sort of freaks
which could not be accounted for by any reasonable hyDothe"
sis. This has been so thoroughly demonstrated to be an
erroneous idea that there is no necessity for argument.
Sidney gets a fast pacer with nearly as much certainty as a
first-class thoroughbred sire gets race-horses, and lays in the
flhade the best trotting sire that ever was foaled. Adonis and
Goldleaf nearly out of the teens, and that on the fast-side,
and John Bonn has another three-year-old in his string,
which if ho had been placed in his charge in the early part of
the s&tt.-ou, would have been close on the heelB of his distin-
guished relatives. Alexander Button has outdone all of his
predecessors in the way of the championship of tlie young
sidewbeelers, and our old favorite, A. W. Eichmond, has
done his part to "witch the world" with fast lateral motion.
Pacing stakes for colts are bound to flourish when such
youngsters as those named can be produced with reasonable
certainty.

ECLECTIC AND MOKTIMFR.

Wilfred Page, Penn's Grove, Sonoma County, Califorui^
advertises the above stallions for service, and at such reason-
able figures that they oannot fail to attract attention. Mr.

Page has told the story so well in the advertisements that
little is left to add in the way of comments. And, by the
way, we much prefer that the advertisements should convey
all the desired information, leaving nothing for the editor al
columns than to call attention to the same. Writing from
long experience, we are aware that we stallion owners are a
touchy set, and should one editorial comment exceed anothei
in length, or contain a modicum of praise more than is
awarded to another, there is tumult in the camp. Then
again California stallions are of so high a class, that ac-
counts degenerate into a sameness of praise that most be-
come tiresome to our readers who have not a direct interest
in them or their progeny. When the list is complete, we
will present their united claims, and that will be a display
of merit which will astonish those who are not folly posttd
on the trotting horse of California.

NOOND * Y.

The above remarks are also applicable to Noonday; with
this addition, however, that he brings a uew stream of
blood into the California paddocks. We are not aware of
any other son of Wedgewood in California, and the only
near relative on the side of the d»m is Electricity, which is
from Midnight, the gran dam of Noonday.

ANTEVOI.O AKtTraTHHONE.

Further thau for the purpose of illustrating some new de-
parture in trainiug or stable management the names of our
own hoives only appear in the advertisements and the list
which heads the editorial page.

KIITWmOD.

This grand horse is so far away from this side of Uncle
Sim's farm, that a short dev.ation from the prescribed
course may not be far out of the way, although there are
so many of his get in this State that he is not entirely free
from the conditions imposed. This much can be said with-
out trenching on the enclosed ground, that when Nutwood
landed in this State, the seed was sown which has grown
into a crop that has added an immense sum to the wealth of
the country, and that crop is perennial, spreading from year
to year with a prospect of still higher value. We are
pleased that the fasttst son of the famous sire was bred
here, and that a big majority of the names included in his
«'rolI of honor" are stilt with us. That was to be expected,
however, as he had only got a few colts before his exporta-
tion, and of cottrse the most of his eastern-bred colts are
too young yet to occupy the place they will surely fill in the
future.-

I.EON.

F. P. Lowell of Sacramento, California, offers this son of
Leinster and Ada A., provided the purchase is consummated
before February first. When he gal'oped away from Canny
Scot in the race alluded to in the ad , we were a hundred or
two out of pocket, for the simple reason that Leon was the
better horse on that day, and that he is a good race horse is
beyond question. His age and conformation will give him
high claims for consideration in the stud.

THE MONTANA CIRCUIT.

California horsemen who have visited Montana return with
gratification at the treatment received, and we have never
met with one who was not fervent in his eulogies of the people
and, the next best thing had coin galore. The month of Aug!
ust is occupied with the meetings at Deer Lodge, Anaconda,
Butte and St. Helena, and though there will be several Call,
fornia fairs held in that month, fortunately there are so many
horses now in training in this State that there can be a divis_
ion of forces without detriment to the fairs, and to the mani-
fest advantage of owners and trainers.

Con Bkio; for brown colt, foaled June 1, 1SS7, by Ante-
volo, 2:19$, dam Frolic (half sister to Alio, 2:25], Flora G ,
2:29, Gerster, four-year-old, 2:34, etc.), by Altooua, son of
Almont.

Slightly Mixed.

An Eastern contemporary says that Senator Hearst will
retire Gorgo from the racing stable and will send her to bis
breeding farm near Chico, where she will bo bred to his fa-
mous Australian Btallion Darebin. That is similar to a s ory
which appeared some years ago about the Hon. Ge< r^e C.
Gorham, wnen he was Secretary of the United States Sentti.
Many newspapers printed a paragraph stating that George 0.
Gorham's aunt had died and left him 5500,000. Mr. Gor-
ham sent out a denial, couched in about the fallowing lan-
guage: The story as printed is true, except that I have not
had §500,000 left me. My auut is not dead, and I never had
an aunt." So it is wilh the horse story. Senator Hearat does
not own Gorgo, has no breeding farm at Chico, and has not
as yet purchased Mr. Hug&in's Darebin.

Another instance is the following:

Boston, Jan 10. — The nint-months-old filly, Carlotta Wilkes,
owned by a Boston gentleman, yesterday trotted ont-eighth
of a mile in 20^ seconds. Newton Highlands and otber re-
sponsible parties saw her do it nnd caught the time. This
speed, which the owner thinks she can maintain for u much
longer distance, is at the rate of 2:42 for one mile, while tbe
best record for a yearling is 3:12.

This very nonsensical telegram was scot hy the Associated
Press from Boston to the San Francisco daily pFip-r- v^ter-
day. Without consulting records and finding all ri_
who have beaten the time mentioned shore, we iei

CHAPTER IX.

PROSPECTING AND ITS RESULTS.

Human nature may be likened to a vine capable of throw-
ing ont tendrils in all directions: robbed of the one thing it
hugs closest, it yet clings to whatever it may reach, and only
when eaten out at the root falls lifeless. Of this Mr. Selden
was an example; the deiight he ha 1 for a brief space felt in
existence had flown with the spirit of his wife, but he still
possessed large power of attachment, and tried to find in his
child, his books, his home and the animate and inanimate
things around him nepenthe for memories that even after a
lap^eof eighteen years could till his eyes wilh tears, and
briug to his heart the weary, dragging pain of unsatisfied
love.

Not all, striving in a like manner, are so fortunate in
gaining the full return that came to him; so, neither, are all
so patient and so deserving.

Was he absent from home a week the very roses and
shrubs suemed to mi*s him, let Erl do her best wi'h watering-
pot and spade; and Jerry, his stout bay hors*1, to whom he
introduced Dick while Philip was enjoying toaot and other
delicacies accorded only to invalids, was said to indulge in
the sulks, which, for a horse who occupied such snug, warm
quarters, wub not good behavior.

'"ilv! my! Mr. Selden, bat this is perfect!' said Dick,
pausing at, the stable door, and giving a comprehensive
glance to stalls and general finishing; "the Sequoia is a
grand old tree."

"A trifle soft, but it works fairly. Stand over, Reuben;"
this to a comely white partner of Jerry's, who seemed in-
clined to occupy the larger part of the stable floor wilh his
hind feet.

"There's a dainty little creature," said Dick, pointing to a
slender black horse in thb third stall.

"Yes, he is our pride. 1 bought him for Erl a year ago.
Turu out, Wolfgaug, ad let us look at you."

The handsome, nervous animal gave a low whinny, as if
inquiring for his mistress, and accepted Dick's pelting iu a
way that said plainly, "It is my right."

Heau*hile Mr. Selden sought out Rob, aud instructed him
to saddle Jerry and Reuben aud lead tbeui over to his niotb-
ers cottage. "I thought you would not object to startiug
from there," he Baid, as D.ck joined him. "I have a few
words for Turn this moruing."

"Object? Not I. My curiosity is the mist infinitive
bump yon ever examine i."

"I remember how you once brought disaster upon us all in
your childhood," said Mr. Selden, smiling, "by mvestigatiug
an electrical apparatus 1 used iu t&achiog physics. Do you
ret- iVect'i"

"Perfectly, " said Dick, following him into the rough yard
where grass, weeds, and some sickly-looking geraniums
struggled for first place.

Tom was still sitting on the low porch smoking his pipe,
and meditating oq the uad luck that showed such a disposi-
tion to follow him, when the click of the front gate interrupied
his thoughts, and he stood up to bid Mr. Selden good-
morning.

He wp.s a heavily-built man, with large hands, and a face
like his mother's, strong aud stern, though appearing much
softer because of the thick brown hair aud beard that
framed it.

He acknowledged the introduction to Dick nervously, as one
unaccustomed to strangers, and asked them to step in.

'■We have no time now, Tom, thank you," said Mr. Selden
kindly, while Dick stopped and began to examine a riculj-
graiued sectiou of redwood root, which Tom, at odd times,
was seasoning and getting to take on a dark polish.

This eav& Mr Selden au opportunity for inquiry into the
real trouble at the bottom of loin's downfall.

'T don't mind telliu' you," he said, casting his eyes down.
"I'm discouraged altogether. Here I am teamin* it frum onn
day's end to the other fur wages that won't keep us, aud that
miserable sneak o' a Gilbert actiu' as foreman, and livin' on
the best. If I'd had no promise made me 'twould be well
enough, but Mr. Tanner's said, time and o'er, that the place
was mine. B'U he's a ready man at forgattin' wlien the time
comes."

''Have you had any word? with him?"

"No, sir, I took whisky to keep my mouth shut. One kind
o' poison does as weli as another to kill a cur, I was
a fool, but no mau'U pay the price of my fojlishness but my-
self. There's a weak sorto' comfort iuthat."

"Yes, and perhaps I can find some which is stronger,"
said Mr. Selden, as the horses appeared. "Mr. Tanuer owes
me money, and it is possible between one thing and another
we can bo adjust matters that you will come out ahead. Have
no more dowucast moment-5. Something shall be done."

He shook Tom by the band and culled Dick, who man-
aged to mingle a tew complimentary words with his good-
bye.

Oh blessed power of doing good! of being kiudly! Nothing
is so replete with happiness, aud no gift — to the everlasting
loss of manhood — is so rarely exercised.

As Tom stood aud watched the two riders take their way
to the rou'l he felt light-hearted over trie prospect of a return
to work, because he was confident that Mr. Selden had not
premised what he could not perform.

"Though the wonder is." be paid, knocking the ashes out
of his pipe against a post, "the wonder is why he takes the
bother o' it fur me."

"The bother o' it" did not seom to weigh on Mr. Selden as
he and Dick rode slowly duwu the hill beside a shallow can-
yon, through whose centre rippled a humming stretch. of
water that Beenied a lit Uome lor silvery trout. It was so
completely his habit to do good ihat he breathed the very at-
mosphere of such efforts and forgot to tbiuk about it. Iustead
he was listening to the saucy ciuzmet of the tumbling stream
and remarkiug that a now growth of lichens had appearedon
the rocks.

"Dear, dear! That water should be full of trout! Good
trout, too," said Dick, leaning to the side aud looking down.
'Some of those pools are lir^t-rate iu breadth and depth,
and that rippling fall is absolutely peerless.'*

"Yes, the tront, though, are scarce, and growing more bo
every yoar. I bate to call attention to faults," sli ling bis
hard uneasily back and forth on the bridle rein, "but people
Hv.il; aloug these streams seem to have no idea of the habits
ard needs of fish. They drag the poor thingB out at all tiiuei
ai 1 in every conceivable way. There sits a young rascal

w that I have had more trouble with than a little."

Mr. fielden reined Jerry iu and pointed down to one of the
.^i,;e, flit stones common to the banks of everystieum in this
oi ,-Hty.

With one of his unclu Rob's broal straw hats on bis head,
the same individual's rod poised nicely over an atttactive

ripplr, and his b ire feet embracing either side of the stone,
sat lommy, reveli g iu a stoleu ^pleasure which he knew
(when he fuund time t-j think of it) would cost him a whip-
ping.

"What luck, youngster?" called Dick, wishing he were
artist enough to paint the picture.

Tommy looked up and down the Btreani. then to risht
aud left before he thought of the road. At sight of his inter-
locutor he grinned and called back:
'■Fust rate! got two bully oneB."

"Are yon fishing with worms, Tommy?" asked Mr. Selden.
"No, sir. Hope I may die! I got on them flies what yon
gin me last week."

Anyone closely interested in the matter might have ques-
tioned what the round, tin can was needed for at Tommy's
side, but neither of the gentlemen could see it as they passed,
and Mr. Selden took up the conversation where it had
dropped.

"1 dislike extrem- ly to see the 'don't care'!prineiple inter-
fering so markedly with our water ourses To keep them
clean and well stocked with fish is a duty the State owes her-
self, but how poorly, how ind ffei\ nlly is it d m> ! There is
no real necessity for streams like ours becoming exhausted,
aud under proper ibauagement I do not thiok they could be."

'What is your opinion about enlightening the geun-dl pub-
lic on the pleasure of fishing? Is it a g >od thing?" asked
Dick, turning Reuben aside to char a mud bole in the road.

Mr. Selden smiled aud touched Jerry lighily wilh his whip.

"The general public, Richard," he replied, with his usual
hesitancy when about to say something not exactly compli-
mentary, "is not easily enlightened on any subject. It pre-
fers to enlighten itself aud sacrifice whatever interferes with
it. Very few people, speaking fairly and impartially, have
the right kind of tempenment, to mukf true anglers. For
that a man must have something beside the mere capacity to
catch fish. He must be able to sympathize with nature iu
nature's ow i way, aud to enjoy a gentle quietness in bis
sport. If Ihe general public could be educated to this point
I thmk it might be a good thing, not only for the water conrBes
but for the human family."}

"A real fii.ierman can whip water a great deal without ex-
hausting it. Thai's the idea?"

"Yis."

"And keeping silent about everything and leaving the
streams free for poachers winter »n t summer is worse lhau
trying to make the men who do go . sling appreciate the
uec< SBity for going in the right way."

"So I think."

"It only looks reasonable lhat a well-preserved stream
should last. But I have not the slightest doubt that what
you say of these streams is true of every decent sized bit of
water in California. Yon will notice banging about nearly
all the fishing resorts a class of men not over remarkable for
fine characteristics. Aud when people attempt to tell me
that such men are above spearing fish duriug the winter sea-
son, I am perfectly justified in doubtiug it. In the markets
of San Francisco you can buy, if you choose, tront at all
seasois of the year. This means something. To be sure, a
man who knows anything abont tit living will not buy at the
wrong time, and a fisherman would nevt r indulge in them,
because, as a matter of fact, he piefers that kiud of fish a
little lresher. I ft el it would be a great gain if everybody
could krow when all varieties of fish, are in season, particu-
larly here where our winters are not rigorous. What have
we now, a change?" drawirg in his horse as they CHrae to a
wooden bridge. "Is this our old friend the Lorenzj?"

"Yes," said Mr. Selden, pointing to a turn in the road,
"and on the other side of that group of trtes are the post-
office aud the hotel."

The post-office was a small, white structu 9, presided over
by a leisurely individual with a Fandy beard, who, in ad ;i-
tion to distributing the mail kept a stock of sweets and other
small things with which the youths of the neighb irbnod were
wont to regale themselves. His present occupation, how-
ever, was the enter'amnient of Mr. Tanner, who sat on the
porch wilh his chair tipped back, and drew nourishment, or
pleasure, or something from a large piece of tobacco which
be rolled back and forth in his month to the distraction of a
small enr on his left, that lived in constant anticipation of a
dainty morsel to eat.

"Goot mawoin', Mr. Selden," he said, rising unctuously
as became a man who owed money aod saw no way of pay-
ing it, "good rnawnin'. You're stirrin' ri^ht early; won't
you git down a spell?"

"Mr. Selden declined, but introduced Dick, and said they
would be pleased to see Mr. Tanner some time during the
morning at the hotel; after which he called up the post
master and inquired for mail.

There was only one letter, and that addressed to Philip in
care of Mr. Selden. Dick looked particularly annoyed as he
scanned it closely, yet it seemed bnrml ss enough. The
envelope was dainty, the seal carefully stamped, and the
ad 'ress in a woman's fine, clear hand. However, perlmps
Dick was right to be ruffled; such seemingly harmless little
packets have done grave damage before now, and will, in all
probability, continue to do it unless women mend, and learn
the maxim of Talleyrand.

The hotel toward which they now turned their horses was
just across the load— an ordinary white building, looking
clean and comfortable in the full snnlight. Reyoud it a
short way stood the hall, whose bare sides had resounded to
the stirring sermons of revivalists, the exaggerations of
temperance lecturers and the shrieks of country fiddle-striogs
with the same calm unconcern that marked the majority of
the human beings who had enjoyed like advauttges.

As our riders drew near, a dark-eyed boy whom Mr. Sel-
den called Jaok made himself of service, and the cordial land-
lord, known far aod near as "Happy George" gave them
ready welcome. His anxious, watchful wife stood in the
doorway holding a plump baby, but Mr. Selden declined her
invitation to enter the house, and sat down beside Dick ou
the veranda, where they were speedily joined by the tobacco-
loving Tanner.

"I tell you it must be refrtshiug," Dick was saying to the
landlord, as he cam? up, apropos of some remark iu regard to
the '-entities of Boulder Creok.

"That ain't no Hind of a name for it. Just come over a
piece aud take a look; the bar won't go bankrupt iu ten
minutes."

"Nothing," Dick 6aid, "could please him better, and
together they went toward the rocky stream.

No sooner were they out of hearing than Mr. Tanner depos-
ited a great mouthful of yellow tobacoo juice on the back ol
a luckless fly lhat bappeued to be suuniug itself ou the
veranda, aud turning to Mr. Selden said:

'I lenkon yon hev a word fur me on the subjeol ot that
overdue interest ?"

"Not particularly, no. I want to speak to ;you about Tom
Morrison."

Mr. Tannor's yellow face took on a more sallow tinge, and

his little black eyes glittered. Without noticing him, Mr.
Selden continued:

"It appears to me Tom is too much of a man for teaming."
I The little black eyes showed a gleam of cunning as their

owner answered:
I "You hev it about right, Mr. Selden, and I'd allowed to put
him on to somethin' better if he hadn't got drunk and
knocked my kalkiiations sky'ards. Thet hull family, in my
| opinion, is on the road to everlastin' destruction. There's-
I Rob to begin. Of late he aiut worth a peck o' oats a week.
' I hev been wanting to speak with you about him fur nearly
. two weeks back. He's clean no account. "

"But my errand is in behalf o; Tom," said Mr. Selden,.
I with a quiet man's obstinacy, "I want you to do better by
, him. He is gettiDg discouraged. For two years you have-
promised to make him foreman, and every Saturday brings
the same old disappointment. Advance him; it will mean
money in your pocket."

"You reckon what they say agiu Gilbert's true?"

"I know nothing against Mr. Gilbert."

Mr. Tanner stopped his active chewing, and looked long
aud intently at Mr. Selden. Then he spit agaiD, and wiped
his mouth on the back of his hand.

"Do you reckon to tell me," he said in a perplexed way,
"thet you're jest a doin' this fur my good and fur Tom
Morrison'b?"

"For no other reason in the world."

"Thtn I'll be durned if I don't jine you. Tom goes on
to-monow mawnin' as sure as sun-up, and I'll iry aud hold
my temper in with Rob, though he's no account enough to
knock the patience out o' a saint."

"How would it do to change about and send George into
the mill and keep Rob up at the house? He is very Rood
abont milking and such things. George is young, but be is
strong and active."

Jest exercise your own jedgment, Mr. Selden,, and I'm
I reckon there's somethia' abont the right t-tndyin*
o' books that helps," he said, rising and moving off in the
direction of the hall, before the door of which several per-
sons had assembled. "Good mawnin'. Mr. Selden, good
mawnin', sir."

Mr. Selden raised his hat gravely, and went to join Dick,
who was walking b»ck from the creek alone, his companion
having been obliged to forsake him for some thir'y travellers
and their needs.

"I'm happy," said Dick, looking up in Mr. Selden 's face
much as he bad when a boy, "happy. These streams offer a
premium for living in the woods."

"You like Boulder?" smiling iudulgeDtly.

"I like them all; like everything; think that landlord's
immense."

"Shall yon care to go in and try fome spirit*-? I never
take anything myself, but if you wish, why — " Mr. Selden
hesitated as though scarce knowing how to conclude.

Dick had thought of this several times, but now he sud-
denly made up his mind to keep to his temperance resolve,
aud so expressed himself to Mr. SeldeD, who made no
rem-irbs.

"And I shall not take anything up to Phil, either," said
Dick; "he will get on just as well without it."

"I fancy so, although I brought a flask, and if yon
think — " "No, I do not; I think jnst the leverse," inter-
rupted Dick, decidedly.

"Very well then, we may turn our horses' heads home-
ward. Come, Jack," giving him a coin, " lead ihem out."

Dick was heartily glad, notwithstanding his delight in the
landlord, to get away from the atmosphere of the hotel, aud
into the forest shadows again.

"Mr. Selden," he aske ', in his sudden way, after having
looked down at the water of the stream for some miuutes,
"how many kinds of trout are there ia California?"

of needles on that fir tree. Why?"

"I was just wondering whether anybody could Bay. Some-
times I think there is only oue kind; again I fancy there are
two, and nobody can seem to tell me anything about it."

"Yon must follow the plan I do with my lichens. Pre-
serve, analyze, aud send specimens to high authorities. I
am sure th^re are even more than two kinds of trout in
California."

"I was too, at one time. Making comparisons is what has
left me in doubt. To my mind now, it is simply a question
of food. If food can totally chanae the size aud appearance
of a trout, then we have only one kind; If not then we may
have half a dozen. Whoa, Reuben."

time to show his speed, and Jerry not obj cting even though
it might he up hill they went on at too fust a pace for further
conversation on the part of the riders, who found Erl on the
verandah to welcome them, and Rob near by to render his
services.

"Do tell mi', Miss Selden, " said Dick taking a seat at her
side, "what has become of my friend?"

"He is doing very well ou the lounge iu the sitting r^om."

"And yon have beeo his nurse all day?" Dick's glance
was sharp here.

"A good part of it. We have been discus iug flies."

"Dear me! How I wish I could have joined you! Do you
think I can see him now?"

"Oh, yes, indeed, go r ght in, I will sti y here und wait for

Dick went iu and fnuud Philip, not on the lounge, but
smoking in an easy chair.

"Well, old man," ho said offtctiouately, "how aie you
coming on?"

"Very nicely. What did yon find over thert?"

"A let'er for you," drawing it from bin pocket und plaoing
it iu Philip's hand.

Philip looked only half pleased as he broko the seal, but
his expression grew brighter when be begau reading, and he
timdly handed it to Dick with a lunch.

Dick held it alarm's length and scowled for a moment,

Tarpon Fishing.

The biggest game fish, unless it be the mahseer of Indian
waters, is the tarpon, which is taken on the coast of Florida
and its larger rivers, near their estuaries.

The sport of taking tarpon is a comparatively recent one,
and it is not many years ago that the man who had caught a
tarpon was as big a fellow among the angling fraternity as
the tarpon is among fishes, says the N. Y. Times. Nowadays
the tarpon anglers are so abundant that reputation depends
simply upon the size of the fish taken. There is considera-
ble discussion as to who is entitled to the honor of having
landed the bigeest tarpon. Floiida is a good way distant,
and there is ample opportunity for the fish to increase in size
as the news works northward.

John G. Heckscher is believed to have secured the largest
with rod and reel, his fish having been a veritable silver
king of 184 pounds, and landed after a two hours' struggle, in
which Mr. Heckscher became veiy tired. Senator Matt
Quay, before coming North to wrestle with politics, claimed
to have caught one weighing 187 pounds. It flopped Mr
Heckscher's, of course, but there arose a discussion over the
fish as to whether Mr. Qnay caught it himself, or his boat-
man caught it for him, or whether he merely saw one in the
water that looked as if it weighed that much. It was finally
settled by anglers that the Senator really caught a tarpon,
but whether it weighed 187 or only 87 pounds made no differ-
ence, as he secured it with a hand line, and without a rod.
It was also intimated that he used an immense shark hook,
with a telegraph cable attached, and wound him in by
means of a w:ndlasa until his boatman could beat the fish
into submission with a club. The laurels, therefore, were
bestowed upon Mr. Heckscher, who has all summer received
congratulations in a modest manner. He has been admon-
ished, however, to look out for Matt Qnay this winter.

The tarpon fishing does not start in much befcre February
though some are taken earlier. February and March are the
best months. There are quite a number of old fishermen
going down this winter to have a bout with the big fish. The
yellow fever hanging on so late in the full, however, has
caused many to change their plans about Florida tarpon
fishing. Of course there is no danger from fever in the win-
ter, but the talk of it has made a difference among the fish-
ermen.

The fishing tackle dealers have been improving on the
tarpon outfit, till this year they offer a very pretty equip-
ment. The old bass rods, it was found, wouid not do. The
tarpon anglers brought them back in the spring in pieces,
and three or four were often shattered by one fisherman.
The proper tarpon rod ib a Ehort one of about soven feet,
made in two pieces. The butt is a foot and a half long, of
hard rubber, and the remaining joint is of nolb wood. The
noib wood comes from Africa, and is of similar grain to the
bethabara and greenheart wood, which belongs to the same
family as our hickory. The rod is made with guides on both
sides, so that the strain will not be always in one direction.
The rod is not as heavy as it looks, but is pretty stiff for all
that, a necessary qualification in dealing with tarpon. Ton
can buy a nice rod for S35. The reel is of course large and
able to wind up 300 or more yards of line, for the big fish
when booked sometimes makes very long excursions, and it
does not do to attempt to check him too soon. The reels are
about four inches in diameter, either of rubber or German
silver. They are beautifully made, the mechanism being the
beet tempered steel and very carefully adjusted. A very
highly polished and well-finished reel costs ?50, but there
are cheaper ones.

The tarpon line is specially manufactured of linen, and is
made very strong. At first they used a small chain or piano
wire for a leader, but it was found that the king herring
would snap these very easily, and cut through them. So
nowadays they use a sort of cotton material or thick cord.
When the tooth of a tarpon strikes it, it mashes and softens,
and is pnlpy, but the fish cannot cut through it. Thick
twisted gut, "which will become soft in the water, is also
sometimes used. This completes the outfit, except a net or
gaff for the boatman, and a pair of thumbstalls.

The tarpon hugs the bottom pretty close, so when the
strong steel hook is baited with a piece of mullet it is
dropped to the bottom. The fish iB a bit wary, and when be
suspects the bait is cautious. He is apt to take it up gingerly
and travel a few feet. Then he will drop it. He is fond of
mullet, however, and if his inspection does not alarm him,
he will take the food up again and rather slowly swallow it.
So it behooves the angler not to hurry the fish. Wait till
he has swallowed it and started off on a long run. When the
line is tightened on the fish he will be hooked. Some anglers
pay they can tell by the draw of the fish whether it is a tar-
pon or a shark, but many are often disappointed to find their
supposed tarpon nothing but a measly shark.

The sharks are a great nuisance. It is a singular thing
that a shark will cut through the cotton leader, while a tar-
pon cannot, but the chain or piano wire holds a ehark fast.
It is owing to their different kind of teeth. If a shark is on
the Hue, tbe best plan is to let him work off by himself.

The tarpon has a long, spiuy projection at the dorsal fin,
which is often seen scooting along the top of the water,
while the fish is almost nut of sight beneath. The fish is a
beauty to look upon. The scales are regular and bright in
eo'or. When the tarpon is tnken out of the water, he looks
as though he was silver-plated. Once in a while one wanders
northward, and they have even been takon in nets off Long
IeUnd. It is expected that the size record will be broken this
winter.

The Angler's Society of Sin Francisco seems to have
lapsed since its President, Mr. Dan. O'Connell, ceased to
labor but not to live, if the stories of capons, sack and Aris.
tocratica's that come up from his hermitage near San Mateo
are verities. Why can not the jovial president gather his
friends and give a easting tonrnament on the lake near the
Alms House? The place is suitable, and the genial Superin-
tendent, Mr. Keating, might easily he interested and could
contribute to the pleasure of the anglers most effectually.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication tbe earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all Instances writing plainly names of sice and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Names Claimed.

Mr. E. J. Roy claims the name Rosa Belle for Irish red
setter bitch by Pat O'AIore— Belle C.

Sales-

Mr. L.L.Campbell has sold Irish red setters by PatO'More
-Belle C.
To Mr. E. J. Roy, Sau Francisco, a bitch.
To Mr. Charles Ablborn, San Francisco, a dog.

Deaths.

Mr. J. M. Bassford Jr.'s pointer bitch Esther, by Vunde-
vort's Don— Beautiful Qaeeu, died onDecember 27th. Cause,
enteritis.

Also two pointer puppies by Lemmie B. — Esther.

A Bakersfield correspondent, who has visited the trainers
who are there preparing for the field trials, which begin on
Monday next, sends us the following notes:

"Of the half-dozen men who have dogs here, getting them
ready to run in the trials, I believe I have seen all. Judge
Post, of Sacramento, is at Centennial Ranch, a few miles
from town. He has been having very bad luck. Loadstone,
of his string, has been laid up with an abcess on the pad of
a fore-foot, and at this writing, January 4th, is not able to go
on it. Judge Pest has given up all hopes of starting him in
the trials, but as tbe dog is in very good condition and is a
cracker, I hope he will be entered.

Another of Mr. Post's (Enid) has gone lame in a shoulder,
and stiffens after running half an hour. She haB been in the
hospital for ten days, but may pull out and start. Judge
Post's Derby entry, Helen,, is still a little shy of the gun.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender is at the ranch of Mr. Charles Kerr,
and is well fixed. His dogs look well and fit to race. I
think he is a little sweet on Mr. Jas. E. Watson's pointer Old
Black Joe for the Derby and on Mr. L. J. Rose Jr.'s Point
for the aged event. Mr. Wm. Schreiber's Nestor is, to my
notion, about as good as auy of the dogs, and Laddie, owned
by tho same gentleman, is a cleanly built, finely-conditioned
and \ery keen dog. Mr. Allender, also, has a very handsome
pointer bitch belonging to Mr. Liuville, of your city, that is
likely to surprise those who piu everything to a burst of
speed. His Roberta shows fine nose and a world of bird
sense.

Another of the professional trainers, Mr. DeMo't, is about
fifteen miles from here, at Mountain View Dairy. He has
had infernally hard luck in losing five or pix of his best dogs,
but has some very good ones lelt, nctably two pointers,
Lemmie B. and Luck, belonging to Mr. Joe Bassford. B tb
have been chasing rabbits freely, but a few days ago they
tired of the fun, and have settled down to good work.

Mr. Pinder's poiuter, Scout Croxteth, is, to my notion,
about as good a dog as I have seen. He was gun shy for
awhile, but is now as keen as possible; has good nose and
gets over a lot of ground. If he does not win he must surely
get Becond or third, unless there are plenty of world beaters
m the trials."

The premium list of the thirteenth bench show of the
Westminster Kennei Club, N. Y., is at hand. One hundred
and sixty classes are listed, fifty species or breeds being
mentioned. The Westminster is a grand institution, nobly
officered, and with a membership including many of the lead-
ing fanciers of the country. The club proper is a pointer
club, but the bench show is only a natural outgrowth of the
public spirit of the members. The coming show will be a
great one, and we hope that 6onre of the local cracks may
appear in it. California can hold its own in setters, pointers
and greyhounds.

Mr. Jas. E. Watson, the tireless and effective secretary of
the club, is covering the country with notices of the second
annual bench show of the Pacific Kennel Club, which will
be held from May 22nd to May 25th next, inclusive. The
Bhow will be governed by American Kennel Club rules, and
rremium lists may be obtained from the secretary, box 183S,
San Francisco.

A marvellous record of winnings for 1888 is that of the
Memphis and Avent Kennels. Three gentlemen, Col. Arthur
Merriman, Mr. W.B.Gates and Mr. J.M. Avent own the
kennel, and the dogs are trained and handled by Mr. Avent.
We have often mentioned the thoroughness of the owners as
students of blood lines and cool judges of lorm and quality
in young dogs, as well as the personal qualities which gain
for them the regard of all who come to know them. The
kennel record for 1888 is the best ever made in any country,
whether the number of wins, the size of the stakes, the qual-
ity of the competitors or the merit of the handlers is consid-
ered, and it may fairly be said that the Memphis and Avent
Kennel, with Roderigo at its head, 1b an easy first in English
setter dogdom.

In the Eastern Trials at High Point, N. C, Orlando won
the Derby and Cecil won third. In the All Age Stake Ollie
S. won first. In the Champion Stake Jean Valjean won. In
the American Trials, at West Point, Miss., Orlando won the
Derby, Betty S. won second, and Roi d'Or won third. Be-
tween the three they won the entire Btake. In the All Aged
Stake Ollie S. won first, and Cassio divided third. Orlando,
Bettie S., Cecil and Roi d'Or are the offspring of Roderigo.
The kennel had no entries in the Southern Trials, but Tol-
edo Blade, a son of Roderigo out of Lillian, won second in
the All Aged. His litter brother, Joey B., won the Eistern
Derby last season aud also second in the American Derby.
From the above it will be seen that the dogB of the kennel
this season won first in every stake in both the Eastern Trials
at High Point, N. C, and at the American Trials at West
Point, Miss.

reducing the office of pouudkeeper to what it shonld b ,
beneficially a pnblic function, instead of a licensed predatory
institution, but the abuses practiced by the dog-catchers have
been infamous, and needed summary correction.

Good News.

Hon. Judge Sullivan, of the Superior Court of San Fran-
cisco, recently laid it down as the law that tbe ponudkeeper
could not legally take dogs while they were under the ''sight
and control" of their owners. This interpretation of the law
and statutes differs with that heretofore made by several
prominent attorneys, but seems to carry the weight of equity
aud we hope may be determined to be the rule of the Court
of last resort. Judge Sullivan holds that dogs need not nec-
essarily be npon chain, or within yards or houses to be under
"control," but that an owner may air his pets in safety so
long aB he is present to prevent their becoming dangerous or
nuisances. Of course such construction goes far toward

The Collie.

Probably the name collie, or more properly speaking, crdley,
is deprived from the term colly or block, th'it originally
being the color. Their use has always been as a shepherd's
or cattlekeeper's dog, aud it is from the lonely intimacy of
solitary shepherds that the dog has obtained his knowledge of,
and affection for, man and his wais. Away on the moun-
tains, miles from every one else, the shepherd, with no one
to talk to but his dog, has evolved that almost human
sagacity which is so great a feature of the collie. Steadfast,
faithful, thoughtful he has become, aud were he endowed
with the power of human speech, he would eqnal, nay, exce1,
many members of the humau family. Though actual speech
may be denied, there is nearly always between the shepherd
and his dog an ability to communicate iusiruciious on the
one hand, and to understand, even to anticipate them, on
tbe other, so lhnt speech is needless. These dumb signals »re
all that are required. In days and districts where different
breeds were scarcely known, one kind of dog was kept to do
all kinds of wort, and to this we owe the versatility of tbe
sheep dog, which mny be trained to meet all demands upon
him — to be a tender of Bheep or a hunter of deer, a watch or
a retriever, a participa t in the hunt of otter, of fox or of
badger — ready, in fact, for anything on land or water. Such
adaptability is wonderful, and indicates keen intelligence
and quick powers of instinct. The real well-bred — bred from
a working strain — will kill a rat or a weasel; and np to a
recent time in the Hebrides, this dog was trained to hunt
seals. A passage in Adamnanus's life of St. Coluniba would
fceeni to show that thirteen centuiies ago the monks of
Iona employed the collie in this work.

To watch a sheep dog at work is a most interesting sight,
especially in the lake country of England or the Highlands
of Scotland. The careful way in which he will gather in all
the sheep, even though widely scattered, the gentle yet firm
control he has of them, and the readiness with which sign
from, or word uttertd by his master is obeyed, is remarkable.
It is no uncommon thing for dogs to be left alone with a flock
for days, or to gather a flock from a whole mountain side,
not one to be missing. Shepherds ran tell many tales of the
sagacity of collies. Tbey will, during the dipping season,
guard the undipped sheep, and separate one by one as rapidly
as they are required until the whole have peeked through the
tub. Aud a recent writer tells how one of these dogs will
gather into a certain hollow, only indicated by a slight wave
of his master's hand, all the sheep scattered over the hil!s and
valleys for miles aronud. In one case when the hir6el or
upwards of twelve hundred sheep were counted, four only
were missing, and the good dog on being directed to go
instantly and find them, darted off and was over the ridge
in a few minutes. Within half an hour his bark whs
heard from the top of a steep ridge to the left, and he was
seen bringing the four to complete the tale.

Of the faithfulness of the collie much uan be said. The
Etlrick Shepherd tells how at one time he had several hun-
dred lambs whioh he was taking to the fold. They scampered
off over the hills in three separate divisions and in opposite
directions, defying all effort b to find them. Night came and
search had to be given up. But the dog remained at bis
task, and in the morning he was found iu a gorge standing
watch over all the lambs, which he had gathered during (lie
night. And the story of the drover's collie, which losing his
master in crossing by a river ferry in the north of Eugland,
for nearly two years regularly went backwurd and forward on
the ferry, seeking in vaiu for tbe lost shepherd, refusing all
the blandishments of others, merely accepting the fuod given
him, is but one proof more of the collie's faithfulness. Thet-e
could be multiplied indefinitely. Every shepherd con Id re-
count tales equally wonderful, aud the exception would be to
find am^ng the true shepherds' dogs — not the show speci-
mens which may not be quite pure ns some have sugeested —
those which would have failed to do what these have done. Of
course, some dogs are endowed with moie sagacity than
others, but the more appears to be predominant.

At the Occidental Coursing Club meeting the other evening,
the Treasurer, Mr. S. L. Abbot, Jr., had the callousness to
claim a share in the preparation of the club circular printed
elsewhere, and even expressed pride about the pungency and
abruptness of that famous document. The circular is effec-
tive in bringing tardy members to time, and the treasury
begins to groan with the weight of the eight dollars now in it.

Pacific Kennel Club-

The monthly meeting of the Pacific Kennel Club was held
on Wednesday evening last in Parlor A, Palace Hotel, Pres-
dent K. E. Wilson in the chair. The minutes having been
heard and approved, the first general business transacted
was to empower the executive committee to select a judge
or judges for the coming bench show, such selections to be
subject to approval by the club. The feasibility of com-
bining an exhibition of poultry with the dog show was dis-
cussed, and it was decided to invite the breeders of fine do-
mestic fowls to place specimens from their yards ou show.
Mr. William Schreiber suggested that the premium list be
the same as at the last show, but the club decided that a re-
vision would be better, and Messrs. Wm. Schreiber, Jas. E.
Watson and J, F Carroll were appointed a committee to
prepare a new premium list. The matter of raising a guar-
antee fund was canvassed, the general sentiment being in
favor of such a fund, and President Wilson thought it
might be raised without difficulty. Messrs. Clarence Haight,
H. \V. M. Sandbach, Jas. E. Watson and the president were
appointed a committee to secure such a fund. An opportu-
nity was given those present to place their names upon a
guarantee fund subscription, and the sum of $300 was at
once secured. Secretary Watson reported that he had re-
ceived Mr. C. H. Mason's terms for judging the show if se-
lected. That gentleman would come for $700 The secre-
tary had also written to Mr. William Graham, of Belfast.
Ireland, but had not yet received a reply

TJie sec etary stated that President Wilson and Mr.F. C.
Zimmerman had each offered special prizes for the coming
show of the value of $50.

The club, after considerable general chat about doggy
matters, adjourned.

TRAP.

Of Int rest to Owners of Shooting Rights.

A dozen gentlemen who own large tracts of laud in varum -
parts of California, gathered at the office of Mr. W. W. Has-
kell, 242 Montgomery street, on last Tuesday evening, the
object, as slated by Mr. CharleB Josselyn, who was elected
Chairman, being tj discuss possible changes in the laws
relative to trespass, so as to enable land owners to emoy
their possessions aod all the lights aud easementB properly
appertaining thereto, without having great expenditures for
fences or guards entailed. Mr. Josselyn remarked that in
his own case he was disposed to be very generous to those
who wished to enter apon his property either as sight seers,
or to shoot or fish, but he felt it an injustice to be compelled to
supplement natural boundaries which were sufficient both
to indicate his lines, and to confine his stock, by expensive
fences the sole purpose of which would be to enable him to
prevent trespass. Mr. Josselyn called upon Mr. Piamon E.
Wilson, a prominent member of the Bar, to state his opinion
relative to the subject matler. Mr. Wilson stated tnat he
also was interested in lands which seemed particularly to
attract hunters, and had found the present trespass Jaw
onerous in that if he desired to regulate the shooting upon
his premises and to prevent it entirely at certain periods,
he was compelled to expend a large sum of money solely to
erect what could not be mistaken for a fence by any would
be poacher, Mr. Wilson's land was also perfectly guarded
and protected by natural boundaries which sufficed for all
purposes except the one thing of being what were ordinarily
understood to be "enclosures.' He had given much thought
to the matter, ard suggested that a solution might be found
by so amending the present law as to make prohibitory post-
ing of laud a sufficient warning to those who desired to go
upon it to shoot or fish, or for other purposes. The law Id
New York was of that sort and had served a good purpose.
Mr. Wilson said that in many points he sympathized with
those who were fond of field sports, and he was willing to
make any reasonable concession to sportsmen, but he felt
with the Chairman that owners should be so protected in
their holdings as to enable them to control all the easements
following ownership, and he did feel it a hardship to be com-
pelled to suffer periodical raids from poachers, simply because
his lands were enclosed on one side by a river, aud not by a
fence of wire, stone or other material. He had expended on
one piece of property some §500 to erect a fence bbout one
side of it, the other sides being bounded by a river, but the
poachers visited him precisely as though his land was unin-
closed; and as the statute now stood, he was withoot a
remedy. He thought that placing notices on land, in any
required number, say one on every ten, or twenty, or a
hundred acres, should throw the burden of proof npon tres-
passers found within the proscribed limitB, and should sub-
ject them to penalties if guilty.

Chairman Josselyn stated that he bad been told by dis-
tinguished legal friends that they thought a navigable a'.ream
constituted a boundary, within the purview of the code, but
in the absence of any precise rule by the Superior Court,
they could not be positive.

Mr. Wilson cited a case in which a cliff had been decided
to be such a boundary as sufficed to "enclose" land.

Dootor S. E. Knowles held interests in several tracts of
land, and while himself very foud of shooting, yet he could
not but desire some farther and more adequate protection
than that afforded by the present law, and he thought the
suggestion of Mr. Wilson about amending the law now in
force, by adding a section making posting sufficient to pro-
tect, an excellent one. He thought it easier to amend an
existing law th n to pass an entirely new one. Mr. Wilson,
in reuly tu Doctor Knowles, thought that the clerical la^or
incideut to auienrtiug was quite as great as that of formulat-
ing a new law, and he preferred to draft a section as a substi-
tute for that now in force. He also thought that the land
owners present coull readily interest sportsmen, particularly
the deer and qnail hunters, and get their co-operation.

Mr. Edwin Goodall thought that posting would be an in-
expensive and good way to warn ufl poacher?, but feared that
uu'ess the notices were affixed to large trees or like objectf),
th'jy would be knocked down aud destroyed by caitle. Mr.
C; -odall moved the appointment of a committee to draft aod
resent a bill to the present Legislature, embodying the

ews of the land owners present, and the views of others

ho might desire lo co-operate with the committee; and the
ur>tion prevailed.

Messrs. C. W. Kellogg, W. A. Beck, H. A.Babcook, E. Good-
ail, Mr. Basselt, and W. P. WjUard were appointed by the

Chairman, and, upon motion, the Chairman wasn quested to act
with the committee. Mr. Wilson was requested lodraft a bill lo
be submitted to the committee at an early dav, and the
Chairman expressed the hope that the bill would be pre-
sented immediately. Considerable general discussion was
participated in by Messrs. John M. Adams, Mr. W. W. Has-
kell, Doctor H. C. Davis, Mr. Ben Stiekney, Mr. J.B. Lin-
coln, Mr. W. S. Kittle and others, the consensus of opinion
seeming to be that land owners all over the State should
combiue in an effort to so change tho trespass law as to in-
sure to them full enjoyment of their property by posting no-
tices forbidding entrance upon it for the purposes of shoot-
ing, fishing or camping. The meetiug then adjourned, sub-
ject to the call cf Chairman Josselyn.

CANOEING.

Oaklard Canoe Club.

The annual meetiig and banquet of the Club will be held
ou the evening of Saturday, the 19tb, and the race for the
Ma\risch Badge on the following day. There will probably
be quite a keen competition for the trcphy this time, though
Frolic, the present holder, should have no difficulty in retain-
ing it. The Mystic, however, means business, aud is talking
of putting in a plate board iu place of the r»dix now fife I,
an I which would probably imi r.»ve her sailing somewhat.
She rau Frolic quite close last Sunday, and at one time looked
like wionii g. It is much lo be hoped that there will be a
decent breeze, so that all can have a show, aod the best boat
win. Bonita and Dart have both been rubbed down and
revnruished aud look very smart, they will probably be
launched next Sunday. Mab is designing a new sail some-
thing like Frolic'b small one She tried to hoist this one last
Sunday but the mast was too light for the weight. Conch ta
is also going to try more stil area. She has never been prop-
erly tes'e I, and is fast under a very small rig, so may yet
astonish the fleet.

jllustrious.

The very excellent stallion Illuslrions willstandfor the sea-
eon at Santa Rosa. Illustrious is a daik bay with blaek
points, foaled 1SS5. He is by Happy Medium, sire of Maxey
Cobb, 2:13.]; Norman Medinin, 2:?0; and thirty-nine with
records below 2:30. His first dam was Abdalletta by Strader's
Cassius M. Clay Jr, sire of Harry Clay, 2:23|; Durango, 2:13f ;
and sire of the dams of Minnehaha, (dam of Beautiful Bells)
Happy Thought, 2: 22J; Mambrino Boy, 2 :2b" \, J. B. Kich-
ardsou, 2:2(H. and inauy otheis. It is needless to enumer-
ate the other strains of blood flowing in Illustrious, as
his pedigree is well known. An announcement in next week "r
Breeder and Sportsman will give terms, etc, for the bene-
fit of those who desire to patronize Mr. Stone's horse.

Track Building: in California.

Chas. Marvin writes: "I prefer a mile track in the shape
of an egg, with the small end toward the barn, so that colts
are driven to and from the place of entrance. The grade on
a quarter mile turn should be one inch in twelve, the track
to be forty feet wide on the turn and sixty feet wide on the
etretches.

Our track has a natural drainage; one tbat would require
artificial draining should in my mind, be so constructed in
grade, that a ditch following on the inside of rail all the way
around to a place of outlet would receive the various drain
ditches; one track I have now in mind, the Old St. Joseph
Track, St. Joe, Miss., was drained in this way, the water
being conducted to the Missouri river.

Our track, and I think most, if not all, other California
tr.icks fail to get water enough, the climate dries them out so
thoroughly that they lose all ^spring unless thoroughly and
frequently wet during the summer. Tracks reqaire a daily
harrowing so that a cushion remains on top to take off the
jar. I prefer a soil tbat would not require harrowing or
work, on which to work young horses. Heavy soil is, I con-
sider, a detriment towards the ready advancement or thorough
working of a colt.

We have a soil composed of gravelly loam; have materially
improved the track-bed by yearly plowing up. covering with
manure, which is than plowed in. and the whole sowed with
rye, which, when ripe, is plowed under, and track then put
in shape for nse.

Have not used or even seen the kite-shaped track, but
would think it first-class for a stock farm; might suggest that
the entrance face the barns, at the small end.

With a kite-shaped track would not want the upper turn
more than three-eighths of a mile, and perhaps a fraction less.

My observation is that a horse used or worked on a short
track as a rule, becomes discouraged at the long stretches,
and his work is temporarily affected. I do not favor a short
track, for no doubt it cramps their movements. I have
worked horaes that could go faster on the extreme outside
portion of the track than next to the pole, on a half-mile
track."

Mr. C.T. Boots, of Milpitas, prefers the mile track of quarter
turns and quarter stretches, the grade on the turcs being one
foot in ten. This is for rnnners. He bad a track which be-
ing built on an old marsh, had a soil of mingled salt and clay,
which although not a fast one, was very safe and required
no care but harrowing.

The Eureka track is something of this character, so Secre-
tary Colin informs us, but it was very mn«-h imp'oved by
putting first a layer of sawdust one foot deep, and above tbat
a foot of loam. Mr. Wm Corbett advises a mile track by all
means, for the best development of the horses, as short
tracks are of snch sharp turns that the auimals are im>re lia-
ble to injury.

O. A. Hickok writes as follows: A mile track, with
quarter stretches and quarter turns, is the best. Grades on
the turns one half inch to the foot; width from seventy to
eighty feet.

A track should be drained from the inside ditch, should
be laid up one half an inch to the foot on turns, ou- quarter
of au inch on straight Bides, which will allow the matter to
run off in the ditch.

The best soil for a track is a natural 1o*oj, but if the soil is
sandy it must be covered with clay five to six inches deep after
being rolled down. Tracks should be well watered every
night, and harrowed with a rine hsrr.iw every morning.

I iMonnt speak positively a^ to the h'< at effect tbat hill-
mile tracks have on trotters, but I know ihat horses that have
been trotting on mile track* can not make, at a high rate of
speed, the short turns on those half ibui length. I havi*
never seen the kite-shaped track, hut don't think I should
like it. Can name two tracks T have trotted over, Rochester
and Springfield or Hampden Park. They are what 1 call egg
shaped. No horse I have ever driven on them can trot the
sharp end «3 well as they can tho other.

Will you please let me kuow through your columns if two
horses having the same sire but not the same dam are half
brothers?

Answer. — In Btrict fact they are half brothers, but the
accepted usage in this respect is to use the terms of half
brothers or half sisters only for animals from the same dam.

I have been informed that from you I could oblain the
history of the stock to which the horse Old General McClel-
lan belonged to. If so will you please let me know your
price for it, a^ I am somewhat interested in that stock?

Answer. — We make no charge for answering questiims.
Do you mean the Stockton or the Petaluma General McClel-

lan?

Fresno, Cal.

A and B have made a bet; A lets the fastest mile ever made
by Stamboul in a trotting race was made on the Lob Augeles
track. Time, 2:15. Who wins the bet?

Answer. — If the understanding is that "race" means a race
"with other horses," A wins. Stamboul's 2:14j was made in
a race against time, at Bay District Track, S. F. His 2:15
was at Los AngeleB, as yon say.

Topeka, Kansas.

Please give me the pedigree, and record, if any, of Oliver
Cromwell in the next issne of yonr paper.

Answer.— Oliver Cromwell, br c, foaled 1S67, by Lodi, dam
Annette by Lexington; 2d dam by Gray Eigle, 3d dam Mary
Moms by Medoc. Lodi by imp. Yorkshire dam Topaz by
imp. Glencoe. As far as the records show, Oliver Cromwell
started in eight races altogether, four in 1870, and four in
1871- He only won two races, both of which were as a three-
year-old. The first victory was at Stockton, May 10, 1S70,
and was rather a remarkable event. A number of g- ntlemen
entered their youngsters in a colt stake of mile heats, ond
then offered to run the race on the tracks of the association
that would give the most added money. Tho Slongh City
was selected, the directors offering, some say $1,200, while
others think the amount whs $2,000. Mr.* C. N. Chase of
San Francisco was appointed to collect the stakes and deposit
it in bank, subject to the order of the winner, with the
understanding that the money should draw interest, all of
which was to go with the main stake. Shortly before the
contest took place a meeting of those interested was held and
it was reported that as the sums collected only came iu by
driblets, no bank would pay interest, and a motion to do
away with the clause in the contract relating to the interest
was made, but strenuously objected to bv John Hall, owner
of Alice May, a pronounced favorite. He said the contract
read that interest should be be paid and he wanted his pound
of flesh. On the night before the race Mr. Chase was at a
hotel in Stockton to receive the balance of the stake money,
all theowters being present except Mr. Geo. Treat who owned
Oliver Cromwell. The horse was at the iwe track but had a
severe attack of distemper, and the trainer Henry Walsh
informed Mr Chase that the horse was so bad he could not
start and would have to forfeit. The stakeholder however,
paid in the necessary ?50. so Oliver Cromwell was eligible to
go next day. In the morning Mr. Treat arrived and went
straight to the stable where he was met by Mr. Chase who
informed him what he had done. After carefully looking the
horse over. Treat decided to start him, Mr. Walsh getting
him into somethiug like decent shape. As sUted "before
\lice May was the favorite, the Woodbnrn hllv being con-
sidered alrooi-t invincible. Nell Flaherty was" the second
choice, with the others strung out, Cromwell selling Inst
among t be Held of ten, for throe aud four dollars iu pools of
between four and live hundred. Emma Barnes, a Norfolk
Hlly, won the first heat in 1 :4S 3-5, the favorite, aud Pill Box,
auolher Norfolk, being distanced. The spectators were iu
high glee at the dowufall of Hall's chances, hi« nctioos in
reference to the interest mouey being severely criticised by
those who knew the circumstances of the case. The second
hi' at was won bv Oliver Cromwell in, 1:501. he distxneing
Carrie Mill»r by 'Veto, and Gilroy Belle by Lodi. The third
and last bent was »lst won by Cromwell, time 1:53. In this
heat the celebrated Nell Flaherty by Rifleman, and Phil
SheriAin by Norfolk was also distanced. B -low we give the
summary of the race, feeling if will interest many of our
readers.

RATHBONE.

Bred at the Palo Alio Stud— 1'> tiled .March
13, 1884.

RATHBONE IS A VERY HANDSOME SHADE
of brown, the only white a small star in forehead.
He is of almost unexceptionable form. 1G hands 3
inches in height, of immense power and substance, and
also of the highest quality.

He was never in "order" to run, and vet he has
shown well, better by far than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.

March 11, 1SSS, on the Bay District course, car-
rying 5 pounds over-weight (H5 lbs.) he defeated,
in a stake for two-year-olds, Yoltigeur, <J. H. Todd,
Notidle and Leap Year, the h df mile being run in i0%
seconds. He has shown quarters in Z.i seconds, and is
so stoutly bred tha' he could hardly fail to go a dis-
tance at a high rate of speed.

His blood lines could not be improved. His sire,
Young prince, is the onlv stallion that lean recall
imported from England to the United states with near
strains of SStoelcweTl and King Tom blood, these noted
horses being the paternal und maternal gr.mdsiresof
Voting Prince. The family ot his dam. Lady Amanda,

make the eosuing Beasou from February 16th to
June 15th, 1880, at 9,1 1 1 Adeliue Street, Oak-
laud.

Terms.

One hundred dollars the season for mares engaged
before May 1st, and uie hundred aud iiity dollars the
season a ter that date . The object of this is to ehurteu
the time in the Btud bo as to give a better opportunity
for training befure the Fall Circuit commences. Last
year it w.lS the Brst of August before he was through,
and consequently he could not be got into condition in
time even tor the tate Fair, in this connection it
will be well to state >hattliere in no deviation from
the price, and emphatically no free list. The terms
are certainly low for a horse of the class of Antevolo,
and there were sev ral applications where the appli-
cants expected an increase of price.
Form aud lolor.

It Is rare to find a hurse of such high form, and I am
not ulone in considering him as being as nearly per-
fect a type of equine iorm as was ever seen in a trot-
ting-breu stallion. He is sixteen bards and half an
inc. i in. height, (iu inches Irom point of Bhoulder to
point of buttock, aud weighs, in ordinary condition,
I,:50pounds. He is very muscular, limbs as good as
the moBt critical could des.re, and as highly nnishea
as a great majority of thoroughbreds. In color he Is
a rich seal brown, with lighter shading in Hanks and
muzzle, black legs, mane and lail, Binall^star in fore-
head and olf i.in i pastern white.

irerlormances.

Tie has been eminently of the improving kind. Ab
a j earling he trotted in a: 2; two-year-old in 2:41; three
years old in 2:299f; four years old in 2:19}4, the fastest
record for a stullion of that age up to that time,
and in his live-year old form La trotted in from
2: I6Vj to 2:17 In all of the four heats of the big
irot which Harry Wilkes won. As he only made
one break in this race, notwithstanding the great
Bpeed of the contestants he must be credited as
remarkably "steady," almost phenomenally so for
a horBe ot his age. Had it not been for an acci-
dent which temporally disabled him, it can be stated
with confidence that he would have trotted in 2;lf>or
better while he still ranked as a five-year-olJ.

In 138/ an injury to his left hind leg, first hurt
when a two-year old, incapacitated him from trotting.
That injury was below the nnkle, and last year when
apparently entirely recovered from that, and when he
gave promise of doing better than ever before, owing
to the track being harrowed very deeply he sprained
the suspensury ligament, so that it was slightly bowed
about midway between ankle and hock, i his was on
the 21st of August, andhe was walked and jogged, at
times being quite lame, unt 1 September luth, when
after short brushes, he wae, on the 22nd given two easy
heats in 2; 28 and 2:25, "worked out" twice a week, giv-
ing two heats at each working in time ranging from
2:17 to 2:2a. on the tit h of October I gave him three
heats in 2:28,2:19, 2:17 (several watches made it '.' .
the last half 1:07^, mid going so easily that I felt sure
he could trot several secoi.ds faster.

Although I worked blui Eurefully.lt was obligatory
thai he should have some fast work to trot on the2 Otti,

Chances of his leg standing.

Progeny,

He has only four colts, which were foaled in 1886.
Dr. Lille ncrantz has two fillie^on his ranch at Aptos,
D.T. Sexton oi San Francisco has a filly, and O.K.
Lewisacolt. Itwas the intemi>n to train the colt,
but having hint his fore leg when a yearling he bad to
be thrown out. He is unite promising, and though
suiu.il and other cracks remain in, third payment w is
made on him in the Stanford Stakes and Occident
StakeB. There are (juite a number of foals of 1*87,
several of which have been broken lately, and every
one gives good promise of trotting fast" There ar .
also a number of foals of 1888, and, in my estimation,
for form, size, and beauty they cannot be excelled by
the get of any trotti. g stallion. That othere share in
tbiB opinion is evident fiom the following quotation;
"R.E.Bybee saysJ. B. Haggin has got a lust spring
colt by Antevolo. son of .Electioneer, dam Mabel,
sister of Beautiful Bells, thatis as much superior to
other colts as the Jersey L ly Is to a Umatilla reserva-
tion squaw."— Rural Spirit, Portland. Oregon,

No .rly everyone who owns an Antevolo colt thinks
that he has the best, which is a token of their uni-
formity,

cannot find fault with his blood lines, ills sire Elec-

LONDON,
Printed by Tbo. Milbonrn, in the Year 16 6 y.

To hia most sacred Majesty, Charles the Second, by the

Grace of God, KiDg of Great Britain, France, and Ireland,

Defender of Faith, etc.
May it please your Majesty,

My first book of horse-manship, printed in French, had the
honor of yonr patronage; and I presume again, to dedicate
this second, in English, to your Majesty; who being not
only the greatest monarch in Christendom, but a king that
loves justice and troth, can best judge of books, which con-
tain, I daresay, the perfect and only truth of horse-manship.
My duty, and particular affection to your person are suffici-
ent motives to me, to consecrate, not bookB only, but myself,
and mine, and all that belongs to us, to your Majesties ser-
vice. But besides that, yonr favors to me are so many, and
so great, that what I am, and have, ought justly to be sacri-
ficed to yonr will and pleasure, as yours; wherein I joy
more, than if it was mine. Your wisdom, sir, valor, and
conduct, makes all your neighbors confess, that your Majesty
ia the moat glorious kiDg that ever reigned; and that God
will prosper yon, in all your great actions, and give your
Majesty an happy and long reigo, to the joy and comfort of
b!1 your loyal subjects, is both heartily wished and fervently
prayed for, by

Yonr Majesties most obedient creature,

William Newcastle,
to the readers.

Having passed the greatest part of my long exile at Ant-
werp, one of the finest cities in the world, whose inhabi-
tants are deservedly famous; for their extraordinary civilities
to strangers, of which I must acknowledge to have received a
great many from them: I did, during that time, publish, in
French, a book of horse-manship; and having again, since my
return to my native country, had much leisure in my soli-
tary country life, to recollect my thoughts, and try new
experiments about that art. I now, for the more particular
satisfaction of my country-men, print this second book, in

English; which being neither a translation of the first, nor
an absolutely necessary addition to it, may be of use by itself
without the other, as the other hath been hitherto, and is
still, without this: but both together will questionless do
best.

I cannot mention Antwerp, upon the score of my book,
but I must also take notice of the honour I have received
there, from many noble great persons, who did me the favour
to see my Mannage; and of the things they was pleased to
say, upon occasion of what they saw there; which will be in
lieu of encomiums in the behalf of horses, and of horse-man-
ship, very proper in this place.

When X had the honour to wait on Don John, of Austria,
at Antwerp, brought to him by my Lord of Bristol, hiB High-
ness was pleased to use me extreme civilly; and to ask both
then, and at several other times, for my book of horse-man-
ship, before it was prmted; and to receive it with great satis-
faction, when I presented his Highness with one: But he
did not see my horBes, which, in above 20 coaches, all the
Spaniards of his court, went to my Mannage to see; with
many noble-men of Flanders, as the Duke of Ascot, and
others, before whom I rid myself, three horses, and my
Esquier, five. Being return 'd to Don John, he ask'd them,
whether my horses was as rare, as their reputation was great:
to which they auswer'd, that my hoises was such, that they
wanted nothiDg of reasonable creatures, but speaking. And
the Marquess of Seralvo, master of the horses to his Highness,
and Governor of the castle of Antwerp, told his Highness,
that he had asked me, what horses I lik'd best: and that I
had answer'd, there were good and bad of all nations; but
that the Barbs were the gentlemen of horse-kind, and Span-
ish-horses the princes. Which answer did infinitely please
the Spaniards; and it is very true, that horses are so as I
said.

The Marquess of CaraseDa was so civilly earnest to see me
ride, that he was pleas'd to say, it would be a great satisfac-
tion to him to see, me on horseback, though the horse should
but walk. And seeiDg that no excuses would serve (though
I did use many), I was contented to satisfy his so obliging a
curiosity; and told him, I would obey his commands, though
I thought I Bhould hardly be able to sit in the Baddle. Two
days after he came to my Mani.age, and I rid first a Spanish-
horse, called Le Superbe, of alight-bay. A beautiful horse:
though hard to be rid, yet when he was hit right, he was the
readiest horse in the world. He went in corvets forward,
backward, sideways, on both hands; made the cross perfectly
upon his voltoes: and did change upon his voltoes so just,
without breaking time, that no musician conld keep time
better; and went Terra a Terra perfectly. The second horse
I rid, was another Spanish-horse, call'd Le Genty, and was
rightly named so, for he was the finest shap'd horse that ever.
I saw, and the neatest; A brown-bay, with a white star in
his forehead; No horse ever went Terra a Terra like him, so
jast, and so easy; And for the piroyte in his length, so just,
and so swift, that the standers by could hardly see the riders
face when he went. And truly when he had done, I was so
dizzy, that I could hardly sit in the saddle: He went also
so exactly in corvets forwards, as no horse can go better, and
yet he had no great strength, "Whence it appears, that a
horae of ogiltty, lightness, spirit, well-tempered, and of a good
disposition, is much better than a horse that hath only
strength; And that a most mighty and great Dutch-brewer'a
horse, wanting spirit and agility, can never go well in the
Mannage.

The third and last horse I rid then, was a Barb, that went
a Metz-Ayre, very high, both forward, and upon his voltoes,
and Terra a Terra. And when I had done riding, the Mar-
quess of Carasena seem'd to be very satisfied; and some
Spaniards that were with him, cross 'd themselves, and cried,
Miraculo.

Many French gentlemen, and persons of the greatest qual-
ity of that nation, did me the favour tn see my horses; and
the Prince of Conde himself, with several noble-men, and
officers, was pleased to take the pains to go twice to my
Mannage. And though the French think, that all the horse-
manship in the world is in France; yet one of them, aod he a
very great man in his country, was heard say, directing his
speech to me: "Far Dieu (Monsieur), il est bien hardi qui
monte devant vous." And another said, at another time:
"II n'y a plus de Begnieur connne vous en Angleterre."

AmoDg many great persons, of wnich the vast country of
Germany affords abundance, who, for the most part, delight
to travel; The Landgrave of Hesse, did not only do me the
honour to visit me, aDd see my horses, but, being return'd
to his couDtry, was pleased to show, by a very kind letter,
that he had not forgotten me, nor the love he had observed
I have for horses; Being pleased to promise, he wonld send
me two of his own breed: But soon after, he was killed in
the wars the King of Swede made with the Kiug of FoUnd.

As poor as I was in those days, I made shift to bay at
several times, four Barbs, five Spanish-horees, and many
Dutoh-hor&es, all the most excellent horses that could be,
and among them a grey# leaping-horse, the most beautiful
that ever I saw, and who went exceeding high and just in
leaps, without any help at all; as also upon the ground: and
Terra a Terrra, beyond all other horses; and he did look as
if he had been above the rate of horse-kind.

The Duke of Guise hearing of him, two gentlemen, a
French-rider, and an English-man wrote to me, that if I
would part with him, the Duke of Guise would give me 600
Pistols for him, but he was dead three days before I receiv'd
their letter; and had he lived, I would not have taken any
money for him; for he was above price, and besides, I was
then to great a beggar, to think to be made rich by the sale
of ahorse; I have bestow'd many thousands of pounds in
horses, and have given many; but never was a good horse-
courser: Selling being none of my proffession.

The King himself, who is an excellent judge both of men,
and business, of things of use, and of recreation: of necessity,
and of ornament: did like that horBe very well: And having
had the honour, when I was his governor, to be the first
that sat him on horse-back, and did instruct him in the art
of horse manship; It is a great satisfaction to me, to make
mention here of the joy I had theD, to see, that his majesty
made my horses go better, than any Italian, or French-ridera
(who had often rid them) could do; and to hear him say,
that there are very few that know horses; which was know-
ingly said, and wisely judg'd of hia majasty: It being very
certain, that all men undertake to ride them, but very few
know them, or can tell what they are good for.

It would fill a volume, to repeat all the commendations
that were given to horses, and horse-manship, by several
worthy gentlemen, of all nations, high and Low-Dutch,
Italians, English, French, Spaniards, Polacks and Swedes,
in my own private riding-house, at Antwerp; which, though
very large, was often so full, that my Esquier, Capt. Mazir,
had hardly room to ride: But these few already spoken of,
will serve very well instead of all: and after I have given an
account, that I have divided this whole book in four parts,
and every part in many sections, and paragraphs, wherein I
never intended to observe any exact method, I beseech my
readers, to take in good part, that I have however set down,
as clearly aa I < ould, without the help of any other logic, but
what nature hath taught me, all the observations about
horses, and horse-manship; which I have made, by a long,
and chargeable, though I must needs say, very pleasant, and
satisfactory, experience; and so

Farewell.

the first part.
Of the several authors that have written of horse-manship,

both Italians, French, and English.
This noble art was first begun and invented in Italy, and all

the French and other nations went thither to learn.

The feat of horsemanship being at Naples; the firBt that
ever writ of it being Frederick Grison a Neapolitan: and truly
be writ like horse-man and a great master in the art for
those times.

Henry the eighth sent for two Italians that wexn his schol-
ars, to come to him into England: and of one of them came
all our Alexanders; and their scholars filled the Kingdom
with horse-men. Sir Phillip Sidney brought an Italian. Rider,
one sigoior Romano, to teach his nephew William Lord Her-
bert, afterward Earl of Pembrook; and the same Sir Phillip
Sidney brought also over an other Italian rider, called sigmor
Prospero. The old Earl of Leicester, sent for an excellent
rider out of Italy, called signior Claudio Curtio, who writ a
book of horse-manship, and is quoted by several Italian
writerd; but I think that much of hu book is stolen out of
Giisou. Liurentius Cussius is another author, none of the
best, with horrible bits. Tben there is Cesar Fieske, who
hath writ a book much out of Grison too, where he meddles
with music. Then there is another book of horse-manship
called Gloria del Cavallo, with long discourses and much out
of Grison. There is another book of Italian horsemanship
called Cavallo Frenato dePietro Antonio, a Neopolitan; mucti
stolen out of Grison: but hia book consists most of bits to
little purpose; though they seem to be great curiosities. But
the moat famous man that ever was in Italy, was at Naple?,
a Neapolitan, called Signior Pignatel, but he never writ.

Monsieur La Broue rid under him five years: Monsieur De
Pluvinel nine years; and Monsieur St. Anthoine many years.
The liberty, which is the best for bits, at this day, we call A
La Pignatel.

These three aforemeationed French-men thot ridnn'
nior Pignatel, filled France with French horse-mer
before were filled with Italians.

General Topics.
In the General Topic! column o£ last week there was a
paragraph in relation to a dispute between the owner of
Dexter A. Fawcett, and hie driver, Badd Duble, which was
decided by arbitration. Had Doble been contumacious he
could have prevented the delivery of the horse to Robert
Bonner at the time specified, and the sale in all probability
would not have been consummated. There are good reasons
to ihink if that had been the case, and that be had remained
in training, especially the training which actual races ensure,
there is scarcely a doubt that he would have lowered his
record by several seconds. There are soond and rational
grounds for this belief. In the first place he was an "improv-
ing horse;" in the second he had an improving trainer, who
was also perfecting himself in the art of driving. With Dexter
it may be said that Doble commenced his career. Previous
to that he bad either been under the directions of bis father
or others of the older trainers. He had the care of Lucy pre-
vious to engaging with Trossel and Fawcett, and it is not
unlikely that he had more to do with horses than I am
acquainted with. At all events that brought him prominently
before the public, when his sound sense and genteel deport-
ment made him a general favorite. Unquestionably there
could not be a better school for a young trainer, and Bndd
wasjust the "right sort" to profit by his opportunities. Above
all he had the proper disposition to handle a horse, possessing
the peculiarities of the king of the tracks. He had a light
hand, conciliating method, which in a great measure overcame
the irascibility of temper which former trainers had augmented
by coercion, if not abuse. Without wishing to detract from
the fame of Hiram Woodruff, had Dexter remained in his
hands it is very doubtful if the rate of speed which he showed
under Doble's tutorship would have followed the "field
marshals" tactics. He exerted too much strength, and in
place of the light hands of Budd, there would have been a
tension on the bit suoh as few could exert.

Late in the fall of 1871, after the big Chicago fire, I took a
few horses to New York, which were stabled at the Fleet-
wood track. The sun was nearly below the horizon when
Mr. Bonner drove Dexter into the yard. He was placed in
one of the deep boxes which gave room enough for horse and
wagon, blankets were carefully adjusted, and the doors
closed.' Mark (Toppy) Maguire came a shoit time before the
arrival of Mr. Bonner. He had a substantial-looking horse
hitohed to a substantial wagoo, when an argument arose
how fast he could drive him around the track, "go as you
please." After the owner tried his skill there was a wager of
a bottle of wine that John Murphy could drive him faster,
and when that was decided by the.victory of Murphy, another
was made that Maguire could not drive him as fast as he did
before. By that time it was nearly dark, a kind of dense twi-
light, with a few pale, twinkling starB; scarcely as much
light as there would be when the sky was fully ablaze with
the far distant sun. ■ Mark made a long score and came to
the wire as faBt as his tired horse could make the pace; not
very fast, however, and very fortunate that the horse Lad
been so thoroughly pomped out that even an ordinary road
clip was all that he could accomplish. The sharp first turn,
which at that time was close to the starting point, was too
cloBely made in an effort to save all the ground possible,
when the hub went crashing into the fence, and the driver
was hurled nearly to the outside of the track. Little damage
was done. Toppy swore that he struck on his feet and took
a hop, step and jump to the place we found him, and that he
had never "left his legs," although when the bar-room was
entered, the light showed a Btreak, or rather a broad stripe of
clay marked from shoulders to feet. That there was no se-
rious injury was evident, and Murphy, appealing to me for a
decision, both were mulcted, Mark for not making the cir-
cuit after the word was given, and Murphy for endangering
the life of his competitor by bantering him into the wager.

There was the usual amount of "horse talk," and the
hours flew by much in the same manner as Burns describes
when Tarn o' Shanter was wiled into his late ride. Eight
o'clock, nine o'clock, and something after before Mr. Bonner
rose to go away, and addressing his conversation to me said,
"Yon are doubtless surprised, Mr. S., at my staying so late,
but I have spent a pleasant evening, and I had a reason for
postponing my departure. You will remember that when I
purchased Dexter that Commodore Vanderbilt claimed that
he had been offered to him for a great deal leas than I paid,
and that he would not have him at any price. That he was
totally unfit for a gentleman to drive, and that a man's life
was in jeopardy whenever he sat behind him. Now this iB
election day, and there will be bonfires, hurrahing, and
crowds of people in the street, all kinds of uncouth noises
and sights, which would be apt to disturb the equanimity of
any horse, and I shall drive Dexter through all this din and
confusion with as much or more confidence than I would
with any horse in my stable." There was a time when it was
not safe to jog Dexter on the road, and nntil Mr. Bonner got
him it would have been thought very risky to attempt it when
there were any unusual sounds or sights to disturb bis equan-
imity. We walked to the entrance gate and the top of the
hill, and there was starlight enough to see him as he jogged
ac"3S the bridge, and made the turn homeward. I had some
u> givings about the result, as a more trying task could
h ,dly be given a horBe which was at all nervous, and part of

business in town the next day was to learn the tertnina-
. u of the venture. Mr. Bonner assured me that he had not

least difficulty, that he took np his rapid, easy, road gait,
and with ears pricked and a gentle pressure on the bit paBBed

bonfires, rockets and roman candles, landing him safely at
his stable on 56th Street without causing a tremor of the
nerves. There are few men who would have undertaken that
drive with horses which were regarded as at all spirited, and
a nervons man would, in all probabilityj not have accom-
plished it in safety.

The "old commodore" was mistaken when he asserted that
he conld have purchased him for less than Mr. Bonner gave.
It may have been that there were times, when Dexter was
owned by Geo. B. Alley, that he could have been bought for
a comparatively small sum, but aft6r TruBsell and Fawcett
became the owners, especially after Fawcett was the sole
proprietor, and that it was demonstrated that he was sure to
return a net profit of from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
a year, the price obtained was far within his actual valne,
provided the owner was willing to accept the risk of death
or being disabled from trotting. The agent who negotiated
tbe pale had to exert all of bis eloquence to overcome the ob.
jections advanced to parting with him, and had it not been
that Fawcett came to the conclusion that he could buy one
which was likely to prove just as fast for about one-third of

the sum, all of C 's eloquence and arguments would have

been of little avail. Fawcett was comparatively a new be-
ginner in trotting affairs. He had made a good deal of money
in live stock, and a good deal more investing in Chicago
property, and ako in Baltimore, where he resided. He
thought thai it was not a deal of trouble to pick up a horse
which would beat 2:20 under his management, and he
selected Bashaw Jr. as the one which was absolutely sure to
do the trick. Tne reported price was §12,000, and time and
time again he told me that he would not give him for Dexter,
that he was sure he would be equally as fast, and then he
had the advantage of being a stallion. A great many people
have been imbued with something of the same ideaB, but
when the task is to beat the "best of the day," it is a hard
"stent" to get through with. That Bashaw Jr, was a good
horse is beyond question; he was a game horBe, too, and
oould go heats of two miles so as to puzzle the best horses of
the West to beat him, bot the task of making 2:17} was far
beyond his reach. Hereafter I will have a good deal to write
about the old horses, especially those which took part in
the races which took place in the valley of the Mississippi,
and on the Chicago and other western tracks.

The last time I saw Dexter he was not on his good beha-
vior. That was also at the Fleetwood track. Mr Bonner
had driven him there, and his mare, the trotter Pocahontas,
was either in Murphy's stable or was also driven from the
city by one of Mr. Bonner's men. If my memory be correct
she was stabled at the track, the intention being to give her
a trial under saddle with Murphy up, and a grand showing
reBulted. After the usaal jogging and scoring she was sent
off, and going with apparent ease made the mile in 2:18.
The usual time was given between the heats, and she started
away with wonderful speed. I have forgotten the time of
the half-miles, though I distinctly remember that she reached
the half two secondB faBter than in the prior heat, but when
making the reverse curve she broke. One of these
tangling, awkward breaks which makes one nervous to wit-
ness, and in which she must have lost a whole handful of
seconds. After recovering she trotted very fast, coming
home at a "terrific flight of speed," as racing reports have it,
making the mile in 2:20. Murphy had ridden Dexter a mile
in 2:18 1-5, and that when his best harness-record was 2:22},
and now that his mark was 2:17}, it appeared logically
reasonable that the same rider should get him a good deal
below his old mark. He looked as well as a horse could, and
although his exercise had not been exactly right for saddle
work, after Pocahontas had done so well, he should go one
mile satisfactorily. He jogged pleasantly, there was not the
leaBt evidence of soreness, but when Murphy endeavored to
"Bet him going" he would break before covering one hundred
yards, and after the contretemps, singlefoot track gallop,
anything except to trot, bits were changed, the saddle placed
further back and further forward, checked high and checked
low, the martingale taken up and lei out, it was no use, and
the job was given up as being a bad one on that date. I am
not aware whether Mr. Bonner gave him another saddle trial
or not, although ii is not hk6ly he did, as I would, in all
probability, have heard about it. He did mention that per-
haps he would send him to Murphy in order to learn whether
or not it was the want of practice which caused the trouble.

would be proper to call it a half, but as the prevailing custom
is to have three timers, that is not likely to arise. It is a
rare occurrence when three good timers are more than two-
fifths of a second apart, and in that case the medium would
be the time annonnced. Thus we will suppose that A'a
watch stopped at one-fifth, B's at two-fifths, and C's at three-
fifths, then two-fifths would be proper. There is more dif-
ference between a fifth and a quarter than many people
imagine. A horse which trots a mile in 2:20 1-5 would beat
a competitor wbich made 2:20} nearly two feet, one foot and a
decimal of .885. Were this to be called a dead heat in prac-
tice, to comport with making the fractions equal, there would
be a great row. If correct to give the heat to a horse which
wins by the best part of a neck the lace, why not credit him
with the fastest record when time made is the criterion ?

Fifth ot quarter seconds. Why not fifth and quarter sec-
onds? One of the most nonsensical whimsies ever heard of
was the abrogation of fifthB of a second and insisting on quar-
ters being the fractions adopted when the time of raceB was
to be measured. It came about from George Wilkes taking
ground against records which were given in fifths, and rather
autocratically took upon himself the rectification as he termed
it, and when a report came to his paper with the fractions in
fifths, they were changed to quarters, halves and three-
quarters. This was in the fifties, and as watches wbich
marked fifths of a second were comparatively rare at that
time it did not make the difference it doeB at the present
epoch of good chronometors. Watchmakers agree that better
movements can be made when the graHuation is fifths, and
that superior timekeepeis result from such a construction.
In aBtromony and gunnery decimals facilitate calculations^
and for these usee time-mtasnres are made which record with
accuracy tenths of a second, and with contrivances which
will make a still more minute division. The proper plan
would be that when fifth second watches are employed, the
time should be given in fifths. If only two watches were
used and one marked two-lifths, and the other three-fifths, it

"Time" is the essence of trotting, and in this country and
Australia has nearly as much weight in racing. I have
thought that the consideration given to minute fractions of
secondB was a drawback to sport, but it has become so inti-
mately interwoven with the sports of the track that it will be
impossible to overcome the hold it has obtained on the
patrons of turf and track. No matter how close the contest.
tbe cheers are suppressed when slower time than what was
anticipated is marked on the board. Those who may be
called track devoteeB take small interest in a race which they
are not in a situation to "time" for themselves, and positions
which will give the best opportunity of being correct are
eagerly sought. No better illustration of the propensity can
be obtained than what is presented at the Oakland Trotting
Park dnring the pendency of an important race. The stand
for judges and timers is on the outside of the track. That
this is the proper place I have argued for many years, and
the beBt-appointed race courseB have adopted it, though there
is a violent prejudice against what is termed an "unwar-
ranted innovation" in thid part of the country. The Oak-
land stand has two stories, the upper for judges and clerk,
the lower supposed to be for the use of the timers. The
building is a square of twelve feet, and the under story is
low, with Btairs to ascend to the upper department. When a
race is in progress the lower part is so densely packed that it
iB a work of pushing and wedging to get throngh, and of
those who are so compacted in tbe small space only a few
can see a portion of the race, but the start and finish can be
fairly known. The timers sit on the ledge formed by a plank
fastened horizontally on the top of the railing, with their feet
hanging over, and on each side of the trio others are crowded
between the corner poets. A more uncomfortable position
could not be chosen, though when it is the most crowded
there are fnrther delegations anxious to get in. Ineffectual
efforts have been made to keep it free from the inroad; but
when a gatekeeper was chosen who had firmness enough to
do hiB duty, that would be counteracted by orderB from
higher officials.

Of all the race courses and tracks I have ever known Dex-
ter Park, Chicago, had the best police regulations. Being
within the city limits, it came legitimately under the sur-
veillance of the police, and at every meeting or important
race the chief of that department would detail whatever force
was requested. In the many years I was connected with
the tracks of Chicago I never knew of a fight or disturbance
of any kind, never heard of a pocket being picked, or even
boisterous behavior dnring the races. Dexter Park had two
tracks, the judges stand being between the two, filling the
whole space between them at that point. The stand obstrncted
tbe view of horses coming down the stretch, and one man
was seriously injured by a horse which strnck him as he
stepped on the outer track. A policeman was stationed at
the point with strict orders not to let any one pass during a
race, or while the horses were exercising, and not at any time
while a Tace was in progress, unless officers of the association,
jndgeB and tirnerB, who would be designated by badges.
"Jack" Nelson was assistant superintendent, and as he was
partial to witnessing races he managed to be on hand when-
ever the racing was likely to be of interest, and, of course,
took command of the force. One very important day he sta-
tioned a man at the point mentioned with the usual instruc-
tions, showed him the badges to be worn, and again cau-
tioned him to be strict in the observance of his duty, I was
extremely busy, and was on the inside when the officer was
placed at his post. Bushing through the narrow alley way
with the intention of crossing the track, I was soon aware of
the obstacle, as he pushed me back with so much vigor that
1 had some trouble to keep on my feet. "I am superinten-
tendent," I remarked, "and secretary of the club." "No
matter," he replied,"if you were captain, major and all hands,
when Captain Nelson gives me my orders I shall be governed
by them." A policeman crossed from the other side who en-
dorsed my statement, buttbat had no effect, when luckily Nel-
son came.and he, calling the man by name, said, "I thought all
of you men knew Mr. S.," when I stopped him with the in-
formation that he waB just the man I wanted to guard that
pass, and would see that 1 was not withont the insignia of
my rank thereafter.

WThen Mr. McVickar opened the theater which took his
name, one of the attractions of the first night was a prize of
£500 for a conundrum wbich a committed of well known
oitizens were to award. Standing room was at a premium,
as the novelty of the affair waB an additional incentive to
attend. The successful author was Jack Nelson, and the
quibble which "drew down" the $500 was "Why is an ele-
phant like a brick?" There was a long pause after the prop-
osition waB announced, and the moat fertile imagination
could not arrive at anything which had a semblance to a

correct solution. "Because neither can climb a tree," came
in resonant toneB from the stage. An instant thereafter
there was such a peal of laughter, or rather, such a hurri-
cane of laughter and applause, that the pendants on the chan-
deliers rattled like those which adorn the lights on a high-
pressure Mississippi steamboat when under a full head of
Bteani. All Chicago joined in the merriment when the
morning papers gave an account of the affair, the outrageous
absurdity of the simile, the forced point of resemblance,
being so utterly ridiculous, tbat the risible organs of all
Chicago were affected thereby. If the old adage of "laugh
and grow fat" has any force, tons and tons of adipose tissue
were added to the avoirdupois of Chicagoians by Jack's wit.
When in charge of the police force on the track, his presence
was enough to secure proper decorum among those who
would have been troublesome to almost any other member of
the department. Ee was a general favorite among the fre-
quenters of the track, and those who did not know him soon
learned that the quick, easy-mannered man was not to be
trifled with. At the first meeting held on Dexter Park,
there waB a large delegation from New York, and among
them some tough customers, at the head of which was
Florence Scannell and Louis Bareil. The last named lived
in San Francisco before the war, and I think was the man
who can-ied the body of Col. Baker from the battle-field.
Scannell was a noted fighter, had killed his man. and j
believe came to his end from the ball of a pistol.

Another Endorsement of Tips.

Colt Stakes for 1889.

There were so many races on the programme, and also
premiuniB for exhibition of horses, that the forenoon had to
be utilized, and two of the least important races were trotted
before noon. Two very good "green horses" made their first
apnearance in the slower classes, and were to come together
in another. It was set for the forenoon, and when one of
the drivers came to me with a request that it should be trans-
ferred to the afternoon, on the plea that he wanted to bet a
good deal of money, I felt assured that rascality was iotended.
That year, 1867, I was living in Iowa, but at the request of
the proprietors had gone to Chicago a few weeks previous to
the meeting to assist in the management. The driver waa
told that the programme would be carried out to the letter,
and that there was enough betting in the morning to cover
twenty times as much money as he could command. After
two heats were trotted it was evident that my suspicions
were well founded. The driver who wanttd the race put off
till the afiernoou won the first heat and lost the second.
Another driver was substituted, and it was still more pal-
pable that he lost the heat purposely. The New Yorkers had
supported the one which was fixed to win from the start,
and the betting gave additional testimony to corroborate the
action of the drivers. The judges could not be made to see
what was plain to everyone else, and the only recourse was
for the president of the association to order them to vacate
the stand, and declare the race off. The lower story of the
-judges' stand was inclosed, and the door had a substantial
lock. Nearly every one left in order to get lunch at the
Transit House, which was scarcely more than two hundred
vards from the entrance gate. Mr. Fawcett, heretofore men-
tioned as the owner of Dexter, remained, having breakfasted
late and Jack Nelson, with two or three policemen, also staid,
while their companions took their meal. Soon after the presi-
dent and party left, the horses were again got out, the door
of the stand was broken open, and the judges called the
horses up, taking the precaution, however, of not ringing the
bell. Fawcett saw the movement, and telling Nelson what
thev were trying to do, they marched in "double quick" to
the scene of action. There were at least a score of hard cases
determined to carry the thing through, and support the
judges in their assumed authority. Jack sent Fawcett with
the two policemen to order the judges out, and he took the
station where the narrow alleyway led to the track. The
crowd made a rush and he motioned them back, and the look
of quiet determination was a sufficient token that if a man
attempted to force & passage he wonld get the worst of it.
No attempt was made. Fawcett gave the judges to under-
stand that if they did not walk "down and out" gracefully
they would be hurled over the railing, and the cool, resolute
man who barred the way held the mob in check. It is only
justice to Chicago to Btate that the judges were not even resi-
dents of Illinois. A man from Ohio had presided that far;

during the meeting I selected a Dr. C , from St. Louis,

and when looking for the third I saw that the vacancy was
filled by a man who was totally unfit for the position. Geo.
B. Mansur was superintendent of the track, and I supposed
that he had appointed the obnoxious individual, as ho was
not so well acquainted with him and his tricks as I was, but
before I could reach Mansur to have him removed the horses
were ready to start. "When the trouble arose we learned that
he had not been chosen by anyone, having coolly taken his
place with the others in order to carry out the scheme. Of
all the nefarious projects I have known in more than thirty
years' experience, this was the boldest attempt to rob. The
parties engaged in it did not deny the fraud, but claimed that
none c thers than the judges had power to declare the race off,
and my next visit to New York, having gone to the Fashion
track to see some of the horses, I was surrounded by the
"gang" full of denunciations of Chicago, though civil enough
to me. notwithstanding they were well aware that I was the
prime mover in the affair. This wa3 before the organization
of the National Trotting Association, and a potent argument
in favor thereof.

Governor Waterman has appointed Wm. Boots, Esq., and
Hon. D. J. Murphy directors of Agricultural District No. 5,
consisting ot Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.

The following letter is another strong argument for the use
of tips, and coming from a man who is a practical driver and
trainer, it should be given additional weight. There are differ-
ences between the diagram Bent and the kind we use. The
drawing shows that the colt has a good sized foot, and a
weight of five ounces, though heavier than an average of
ours, is not a great deal out of the way. The posterior part
of the tip is cut on an angle, but the angle is the reverse of our
plan, the outside of that being the longest. The first tips
we had made were cut off square, and the reasons for the
change were that in nearly every case where the tips were
worn any length of time, one or both of the posterior nails
would be broken. This cams from the heels being unfet-
tered, the continual dilatation and contraction at every step
crystallizing the metal, and when that was carried to a cer-
tain point the nail broke. To overcome that tendency the
tips were shortened, and by cutting the end on an angle so
that the apex was on the inside of the tip, and the shoulder
in the horn cut to fit. There is a sort of dovetail which is an
efficient aid to the rear nails, and also tends to keep the tips
in place while the nails are driven. Mr. Hall's diagram
Bhows six nails, and these driven so as to leave quite a space
between the last nail and back portion of the tip. As a rule
we only use four nails, and have the holes punched so
that the point of entrance will be the inside of the wall, the
nail going through at an angle which will bring it out about
three-quarters of an inch above the metal, in some instances
a trifle higher. It is evident that if the nail is driven
straight, and the point of entrance no further in than the
inside of the wall, it is impossible to wound the sensitive
portion of the foot, but if started from the centre of the wall
and given the curve necessary to carry it out again then there
is danger of pricking.

We direct the smith in our practice to make the foot sur-
face of the tip level, the ground surface being concaved. It
is of the utmost importance that the horn and metal be fitted
with scrupulous nicety, so that there will be a perfect unison
between them, and it is also important that the ends of the
tip and the shoulders for them to rest against be accurately
fitted. The toe of the tip and sides should correspond
exactly with the edges of the horn, so that the leaBt touch of
the fine side of the rasp will bring the edge of the horn true
with the outside of the tip. The job of setting tips properly
is not an easy one, though any good smith should be able to
do it satisfactorily after he had a little practice. There is
not the least trouble in making quarter-boots which keep
their place with tips oi when the horse is barefooted, but
scalping bootB are harder to manage; still we have a method
of fastening which gives reasonable security.

The requests in Mr. Hall's letter will be given attention.

Editor Beeeder and Sportsman: — Enclosed please find

diagram of the tips I use on my two-year-old (rotting stallion

The Directors of _the Fourth District Agricultural Associa-
tion met at Fetaluma last week, and decided to announce the
opening of three trotting colt stakes. The following events
were selected:

Yearling Stake, mile dash, $30 entrance, 510 to be paid
March 1st, with nomination; $10 May 1st, and the Hnal pay-
ment of $10 to be made on or before August 1st, 1889. The
society to add §100 to the stake.

Two-year-old Stake, mile heats, best two in three, $50 en-
trance; $10 to be paid March 1st, wheD the nomination is to
be made; §20 to be made May 1st, and $20 July.lst, 1S89. The
society to add $200.

Three-year-old race for a purse of $300, ten per cent, en-
trance, to close July 1, 1889.

In each of the above the money will be divided in three
parts — 50 per cent, to first colt, 30 per cent, to second, and
20 per cent, to third. Five entries and three starters will be
required in each race.

In referring to these stakes the Petaluma Argus says: We
hope to see these stakes well filled. There is plenty of good
trotting blood in our county, but we can't have trotters unless
we train for them. With our limited knowledge we could
pick out twenty two-year-olds that have almost an even chance
to-day in this stake. Don't be scared because you hear talk
about some phenomenal colt. It may be that the one you
fear will meet with an accident, or develop so much speed in
his trials that the owner will keep him out for another year.
And, besides this, the second and third!money is worth strive
ing for. But if you do not win any part of the premium, and
your colt is a good one, the training will increase its value as
much as you pay out. Messrs. Page and Hicoek will not
start Peep O' Day in any races while in his two-year-old form,
so no one need stay out on his account. We heard the other
day, and we hope that other owners will follow his example,
that A. L. Whitney would give a special premium each to
the colt and filly sired by his horse Dawn that stood best in
the race. This is a capital idea, and it certainly ought to
encourage entries. Sonoma county, and especially the Pet-
aluma district, is famous for tbe production of fine horses.
A vast sum of money comes in from this source, and we
ought to keep up our reputation in this line.

Pick Them Out-

Mohawk Jr., Second. They are my own invention. How
near right are they? I had them made thin at the heels and
about the one-sixteenth of an inch thicker at the toe than at
the heel. Had them concaved on under Bide. Had the toe
raBped down so the tips would be on a level with bis heels.
The tips weigh 5 ounces; I used 3-ounce toe weights with
the tips. Used the Security weight. Our blacksmith gave
me tbe laugh when I commenced using the tips. They said
if I used them three months I would have to have oar shoes
put on my colt. Now I will tell yon the. results. 1 had
them put on Mohawk Jr. (two years old) the 1st of July.
Gave him a trial tbe 3d of July. He trotted in 3:30. Used
tbe tips and toe weights on him uDtil tbe 3rd of October.
Gave him a mile and repeat; first mile in 2:53, second mile in
2:51, last half in 1:21. I then let up on him and pulled his
tips off and turned him in the lot on nice days. I said if he
would show me three minutes during the fall 1 would let
him up. If he had been worked 30 days longer I am con-
fident he would have trotted in 2:40. It is not necessary to
tell you onr smiths have changed their minds. I tell you,
Mr. Simpson, every intelligent shoer and trainer will soon
admit that tips and toe weights are the thing. I have owned
and driven Hall's Mohawk Jr., record 2:26, Belle Ogle,
record 2:21£, sired by Hall's Mohawk Jr. Both Mohawk Jr.
2:26, and Belle Ogle, 2:2H, were very speedy when two years
old, but could not (with shoes on) trot better than 3:20.
Now, when I have my two-year-old stallion Mohawk Jr.
Second, shod with tips, he can trot in 2:51 with less work
tban either Mohawk Jr., 2:26, or Belle Ogle, 2:2H. The
tips I auJ confident, made tbe gain of 29 seconds on Mohawk
Jr. Second. I took great pride in showing his feet after I
had the tips pulled off. His lrog was as perfect as it possibly
could be, had he run in the lot without tips. His heels are
as tough as rawhide. He can trot over rough, frozen roadB
and not flinch or make the least impression on his heels.
I noticed in the Western Sportsman that some one that
nsed tips had to have them taken off and shoes drove in in
order to use quarter boots. I invented a pad to keep the
quarter bootB up when I use tips, and it works to perfection.
The quarter boots stay much better with the tips and pad
than they do with shoes. Please send me a diagram of
Antevolo's tips, and instructions how they should be made
and put on.

I have just received a letter from J. I. Case asking me to
let him have my leg and body wash for Jay-Eye-See's leg. I
advised Mr. Case to use tips on Jay-Eye-See.

George S. Hall.
Fredericktown, Ohio, Jan. 4, 1S89.

"I think it was Custance," writes the sporting correspon-
dent of London Truth, "who, on being told that a very high
price had been offered for some frightfully overrated horse,
and that the owner bad refused to sell, remarked with great
felicity, 'Then they are at least two fools in tbe world." I
am reminded of tbis observation by reading that some com-
missioner from South America (who surely ought not to be at
large) has offt-re-1 $120 OOOfor Stnart, and that M. Pierre Donan
hus ileclined to pure with his steed, even at that outragous
and entirely Bedlamitish price." Thtse strong words are a
trifle unnecessary . There is probably just an much truth in tbe
$120,000 story for Stuart, as there was in tbe report of $85,000
being given for Ormonde— and that was exactly none at all.

At last tbe Brooklyn Handicap and Suburban entries are
known. Speculation has been rife among the winter bettors
as to what horses wonld be entered for the two principle all-
aged events, and on looking over the list no one can feel dis-
appointed, for the true and tried of the turf are here in num-
bers. As a matter of fact the etitries are not so many as last
year, but they are so superior that without doubt, if the
handicapper does his work conscientiously, there will be a
larger field of starters this year than last. It will be noticed
that there are very few of the selling plate order mentioned,
owners of that class being more inclined to save entrance
money for the ordinary purse events than to Btart where they
are thoroughly out-classed.

The telegrams state that there may be further California
entries, but from the names given below it would seem that
all the principle horses are entered, and it is extremely
doubtful it any others are received from this coast. What a
race the Suburban would be with such cracks to face the
starter as The Bard, Kingston, Hanover, Elkwood, Kaceland,
Belvidere, Terra Cotta, Eurus, Sir Dixon, Judge Murray,
(Bertha B. colt), Bichmond, Badge, Firenzi and Egmont, why
it would be worth traveling across the continent to witness,
and lucky the man who could guess the winner. With horses
such as the above at the post, provided the weights are not
excessive, 2:07 should be wiped out for all time, and unless
the elements prevent it, such a reBult is more than likely to
occur.

SUBURBAN ENTRIES FOR 18S9.

A handicap sweepstake of $100 each; half forfeit, and only
$25 if declared by February 20th, the association to add the
amount necessary to make the value of the race $10,000; the
second to receive $2,000 and the third $1,000 out of the
money added; weights to be announced February 1st; win-
ners after publication of weights of a race for $1,000, 4 pounds
entra; of two of $1,000 or cf one of $2,U00, 8 pounds extra,
of three of $1,000, or two of $2,000 or one of $5,000, 13
pounds extra; in the case of horses handicapped at 115
poundB or over, these penalties shall apply to the extent of
one-half, and in the case of those handicapped at 122 pounds
oi over, to the extent of one-quarter only; one mile and a
quarter.

pagne Charlie, Carroll, Heyday, Sobranje, Wahsatch.

The Brooklyn Handicap has also an exceedingly fine
entry list, some of the very best horses Id the land being
included. The earlier spring event could hardly be expected
to have as large a number of entries as the great Cone
Island fixture; still there are enough to warrant the mos
successful race ever held on tbe Brooklyn track.

BROOKLYN HANDICAP ENTRIES.

For three-year-olds and upward, $100 each, half forfeit or
$25 if declared, the club to add an amount necessary to
make the gross value of the stakes $10,000, of which the

Continued from Page 33.

Monsieur La Broue, I believe, was the first that ever writ
of horse-inanship iu the French language: and the first
French-man that ever writ in that art: His book ifl very
tedioas, many words for little matter, and his first book is
absolutely all stolen out of Grison: and his second book from
Signior PignatePs Lessons; but La Broue, to seem wiser than
he was, and to make up a book, divides a circle into so uiauy
parts, to bring a horse to a whole circle, that it confounds a
horse more, and is harder for him, than to work him upon a
whole circle at first: And for La Brooe's third book of bits,
there is no great matter in it. As for Fluvinel no doubt but
he was a good horse-man, but his invention of the Three Pil-
lars, of which his book pretends to be an absolute method, is
no more than an absolute routine: and hath spoiled more
horses than ever anything did: for horses are not made to the
hand and to the heel at all with tbem: nor will they go from
the usual place where they are ridden, nor well there neither.

But my book is stolen out of no book, nor any man's prac-
tise but my own, and is as true as it is new: and if any man
do not like it, it is a great sign he understands it not; for
there is no way for dressing horses-like it. If it be not good,
I am sure it is the best that hath been writ yet. What
will be writ hereafter I know not.

I must tell you that the Italian writers are tedious, and
write more of mark--, colours, temperatures, elements, moons,
stars, winds, and bleedings, than of the art of riding; only to
make up a book, though they wanted horse-manship.

There was one Sigoior Hannibal, a Neapolitan that came
into England and served the Lord Walden.

Monsieur St. Anthoine, a Frenchman, was a very good
horse-man, and sent over by Henry the Fourth of France, to
teach Prince Henry: Monsieur La Coste was his page, and
rid excellently well, especially leaping hordes.

Monsieur Boycler rid under him too, and was an excellent
horse-man; Monsieur Founteney, which was either his nephew
or his natural son; for he gave him all when he died, was
also a very good horse-man, but none of these ever writ any-
thing of horse-manship.

And the best horse-man that ever I knew, is one of my
own breeding, and rides by my method, whioh is Captain
Mazine now Equerry to the King.

Judeine Stallions and Colts.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The Breeder and
Sportsman's suggestion that a "stallion and colt" show be
inaugurated at Sacramento or Oakland, it seems to me has
nothiDg novel about it, except that feature which requires
each exhibitor to pay $250 for the privilege of making his
entry; or, in other wordB, requiring him to bet $250 against
the aggregate of other exhibitors' entrance money, that he
has the "beBt Btallion and— cohs." It is doubtful in my
mind if, outside of Palo Alto, San Mateo, Pleasanton and
Sunny Slope studs, there would be any entries, unless the
editor of tbe Breeder and Sportsman should prove cour-
ageous enough to enter Antevolo's offspring of 1S86, '87 and
'88 against the older and more developed cracks of the farms
named.

Such an exhibition as is proposed, or aDy other, for that
matter, can never be made a success whilst our fair managers
depend on -'picked up" judges. No man who has heretofore
gone around the circuit with his stock, would, in addition to
risking the reputation of his stock, also wager his money on
the dictum of three friends or acquaintances, that one or two
of the directors might happen to grab as they passed
through the main entrance to the grounds an hour or two
before the several stallions and their colts were brought into
the ring. One of the "sights" at the State Fair, for instance,
is on Wednesday and Thursday mornings of the second
week. Bright and early, and just inside the main entrance,
you will find Carr hobnobbing with Cox, Chase with Hancockj
Green with Singletary, and woe betide the acquaintance
credited with knowing something about a horse, a cow or a
pig! The more directors he knows, the worse off he is;
Chase and Hancock want him on standard trotter*--, Green
and Singletary must have him on draft horses until Carr
steps up, gets him by the lapel, and whispers in bis ear that
he has had him and two other gentlemen fixed for judges on
cows, and it won't take them any time or bother at all; and
off that man gots. Jnst about this time up steps President
Shippee to Cox with instructions to resene that man fur our
sweepstakes committee on Poland Chinas; adding, "Say,
Cox. be careiul that Chase does not get him on Silver Span'-
gled Ham burgs, he knows something about chickens, too!"
It's a pretty kettle of fished up judges that exhibitors must
Bnbmit their stock to at the State and local fairs! To require

them to bet on the judgment of these hap-hazard appointeeB
beats bucking at faro!

The State Fair officials last year did provide that horses
and cattle should be judged by a standard scale of points,
but when required by an exhibitor to live up to their own
rules and regulations, they refused point blank to do bo, on
the grounds that tfa y could nut find any such scale, not-
withstanding the fact that the year previous such a scale was
used by their judges. When the exhibitor entered his protest
before the Board as an entirety, he was asked if "provided
that the judgment of the committee on awards was set aside,
and a new committee was appointed to pass upon the stock,
whether he would waive that rule of theirs which called for judg-
ment by the scale of points;" he declined to acquiesce. The
majority of the Board then decided that as the exhibitor de-
clined to acquiesce to their request, they would let the^rs(
judgment stand. In other words, their action and language
to the exhibitor was practically this: "We are wrong, but
unless you will let us have our way, we shall not right that
wrong." The exhibitor preferred to hold them to the rules
and be wronged, rather than waive them and take the
chances of being wronged a second time.

Would any man after this experience wish to bet $250 that
be had the best stallion and five colts, and allow thia ma-
jority of the Board of Directors of the State Fair to make the
rales, appoint the awarding committee, and then ignore those
rules and conditions under which exhibitors came there?

There is one other point the Breeder and Sportsman
proposition requires for which I can see no valid reason;
viz., the exhibition of the Bire.

If a stallion has a "breeding" value, his colts will prove
it. If we are judging "puddings" we seek for the pioof in
their eating qualities; we dou't call for raw samples of the
flour or raisins, nor a Bight of the stove or of the cook! It
is the proof pudding we are after! Electioneer is past his
"show" age; he has no record — his pedigree is nothing won-
derful— but his colts are the proofs that any Bire might envy!

Geo. Wilkes is said to have been a pony built horse, yet
Red "Wilkes, his illustrious son, is described (or has been
lately) as a large, coarse horse, whilst Guy Wilkes (2:1 5}),
another son, has a great chest and shoulder formation,
which, a few years back, would have been pronounced in-
compatible with extreme speed. He also is a large horse,
aDd I understand moBt of Geo. Wilkes' sons are above the
average sized trotter. Now should the "ponyism" of the
sire be taken into consideration in deciding the merits of the
"family?"

No breeder, satisfied, of course, that the family was sound,
and provided he could see and test the quality of five colts,
would give near as much to see the sire as he would the
damB of those colts. Five well-formed, sound and speedy
colts neoessarily bring credit upon the sire. If, however,
they are out of speedy, well-bred mares, so much of the
credit is detracted from the sire; if out of ordinary mares of
unknown or commonplace breeding, so much greater is his
credit. Then why not show the dams, as well aB, or instead
of, the sires? It would add but little to Electioneer's credit
to produce trotters from such dams as Alma Mater, Emeline.
Waterwitch, etc., etc., but who can deny his wonderful po-
tency when throwing 2:30 trotters from such mares as Dame
Winnie, Mamie C; Lizzie Whips, etc., etc.?

It seems to your correspondent, therefore, (1) that beyond
a certificate to prove that the sire has no ailment or constitu-
tional disease that may be transmitted to his progeny, noth-
ing farther need be asked of the Bire; (2) that jf such con-
tests as proposed are to be inaugurated, the manner of ap-
pointing judgeB should be left to the exhibitors, or at least
taken out of the hands of the fair managers; and (3) that it
be imperative that a scale of points (such as Wallace's, for
instance) be used in determining the relative merits of the
colts, whoever be the judges; (4) that if the jndgeb are to be
appointed by the fair managers, they shonld be selected and
their names be published several weeks before any entries
are made, so that intending exhibitors may use their discre-
tion as to the said judges' integrity and competency before
submitting their stock to and risking their money on their

judgment. W. P.

Arranging the Circuit.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — It is a good omen for
the trotting horse breeding interest and the lovers of the
sport which oalls forth the best efforts of that noble brute,
tbe horse, that it is no longer possible to hold a circuit of
fairs and race meetings in this State without having a clash-
ing of dates. The State is rapidly growing in population
and wealth, and 'tis evident that the interest in the trotting
and running horse is not lagging far behind. As the coun-
ties fill up, and its villages become towns, each aspireB to
hold a fair and to boast of a regulation mile track; it will
not be long before instead of one, we shall be obliged to have
three or four circuits.

Our friend, Mr. L. J. Bose, is already objecting to the
slighting of Los Angeles in the circuit, San Jobo ask« to have
its place changed in the rotation, and 'twill not be long be-
fore Woodland yells for admisBiou.

How are we all to be accommodated? Mr. Rose suggests
that President Shippee call a meeting of all parties inter-
ested. This might prove an excellent plan, provided Presi-
dent Shippee pledged the State Fair to prove as obliging and
mindful of the interests of the district associations as the
law requires the district associations to be of those of the
State Fair. For the State Fair to set its dates beyond recall
before the meeting be called, and then expect the numerous
district and county meetings to "fall in" as they list, or best
may, is simply to render the purposes of the meeting fntile.
(If "Mr. Bose will recall the spirit and the outcome of a simi-
lar meeting last year, when the State Fair crowded its dates
into the first week of September, I think he will admit the
point to be well taken.)

As a step towards arriving at a satisfactory conclusion,
and taking it for granted that there are many horses from
the Bay section that will not, under any circumstances, or
for any-sized purses, go to San Diego and Los Angeles, and
that the reverse proposition will apply to nearly as many
horseB coming from Los Angeles and San Diego to the Bay, I
would suggest that tbe county and district associations pro-
ceed to organize themselves into three circuits: 1st, the
Southern, comprising San Diego, Los Angeles, Freeno,
Stockton, etc.; 2nd., The Bay, or Central, comprising Mon-
terey, Santa Clara, Oakland, Petaluma. Santa Bosa, Napa,
Yola, etc., and 3rd., the Northern, taking the towns and
counties north and west of Sacaamento. Let each of these
circuits arrange its dates without regatd to the dates of
meetings outside of its own circuit, but so timed that the
last meeting of each circuit shall terminate on tbe same
week, and in the vicinity of Sacramento, where the best
horses and live stock of all three circuits can then meet to
close the "Fair season" in a grand seiies of contests under
the auspices of the State Fair. This would give us one
Beries of meetings held at San Diego, Los Angeles, Fresno,

Stockton, etc. ; a second series at Salinas, San Jose, Oakland*
Petaluma, Santa Bosa and Napa, and a third in the neigh-
borhoods of GraBs Valley, Chico, Marysville, etc., all of them
terminating in time for the meeting at Sacramento.

It seems impracticable to arrive at any other satisfactory
arrangement, and even this will be impossible unless the State
Fair management acquiesces, and sets its dates back two or
three weeks, say, to the last week in September, or the first
week in October. The bringing together of the horses from
these different circuits at Sacramento, would undonbtedly
magnify the interest and importance of that meeting, and
increase the already enormous profits of that institution two
or three fold.

As soon as the fair season closed it is more than probable
that a series of colt stakes and of contests between the newly
classed horses could be gotten up and given at San Francisco,
Oakland, Petaluma and Napa, to close the trotting season. -

The arrangement herein proposed will, I admit, not suit
Borne of our Los Angeles friends for either this or p ssibly
the next year, they, however, will admit that the *-bay"
circuit must guard its interests as closely as Mr. Bose is m-
olined to look after those of Los Angeles. It is the horsemen
in this neighborhood who have made the meetings at Oak-
land, Petalnma, Santa Bosa, Napa and Santa Clara a suc-
cess, and if all horsemen in the South were as enthusias-
tic and liberal patrons as Messrs. Bose and Shippee there
is no doubt there would soon be a circuit from Sun Diego
through the interior valleys to Stockton which would equal
if not eclipse our Bay circnit in the attractions offered. If
it be no longer practicable to please all by holding one circuit
the sooner tbe gentlemen named and others prcceed to build
up the southera oircuit by encouraging and patronizing its
infant associations, the earlier will they be independent of a
circuit so far distant as is that around the Bay. It is not
likely, of courpe, that there will be much rivalry for a time
aB regards the fastest horses — the longest purse with the few-
est strings to it knocks the persimmons every time; the
wealth and liberality of the Los Angeles, Oakland and Peta-
luma Association gives them the call every time, but we can
see no reason why Santa Clara and San Joaquin should not
place themselves on the same footing; they have the wealth,
why not add the liberality in one instance and cut off
"the strings" in the second?

I had almoBt overlooked Mr. Hose's suggestion that tbe cir-
ouit commence at San Diego and end in this neighborhood,
for the reason that their seasons were earlier. I would sug-
gest that as the rains never amount to much in that favored
district until late in the year, whilst they are apt to deluge
us here at any time after October 15th, it would be wiser to
commence in the Bay districts and work down to Fresno, Lob
Angeles and San Diego after the State Fair. This, of course,
is offered in case it should be decided not to inaugurate tbe
three circuit system for the present. — Bespectfully,

A Breeder.

Mud Horses at the Bay District Track.

Officers of the day: Messrs. Vaughan, Lovegrove aDd
Waugh; Timer. Pete Brandow; Starter, Mr. Griffin; Clerk of
Course, Harry Lowden.

A very small attendance gathered at the Bay District
Tiack on Saturday last, January 12th, the sky at midday
giving every indication that rain would surely fall. The
signs were not at fault, for before the sport had fairly began,
a heavy downfall set iD, which dampened the ardor of the
enthusiasts present, although they managed to crowd under
the verandah and keep the pool sellers busy. The first
race on the card was a five-eighths dash, for which there
were originally six entries, but owing to the heavy going only
three came to the post, Naicho B., Sleepy Dick and Applause
being drawn. To a fairly good start the flag fell, Minuie B.
showing in front first, although her two companions were
well up. Ab they rounded into the home stretch, Barney G.
came with a rush and led his field, the others being unable
to overtake him. Barney G. was first under the wire,
Minnie B. second, Welcome third.

SUMMARY.

First race — Five-eighths of a mile.
E. Flitner's b % Barney G., 5, by Billy W— Unknown, 110 lbs

Time. 1:074.
Auction pools— Tbe first pools sold: Sleepy Dick $20, Minnie B. $6,
the field ST. Sleepy Dick was drawn shortly before the race, and
Minnie B. Bold slightly favorite, Welcome second choice

The second event was three-quarter-mile heats, to which
there were four entries. Minnie B. having worn herself out
in the first rac, was scratched, leaving three to face the
starter. Kildare sold as a great favorite, bringing $±0, to less
than $20 for the others combined. Amid a heavy down-
pour of rain the horses got off with bat little delay, Kildare
taking a trifling lead and easily kept it under a pull, Oro
second, Minnie B. third. Tbe relative positions were never
changed, Kildare winning easily in 1 :22J.

The second heat was a repetition of the first, with the ex-
ception that Newell on Oro made a splendid finish, and was
only beaten out by a nose. The spectators loudly clamored
to have the race run over, many claiming Oro was not run
to win. Iu justice to Jockey Newell it is ouly right to say
that on his riding in the race probably depended his next
season's engagement. A gentleman present had spokeu to
the lad as to terms, etc., the boy knew that his every
action was being closely watched, and a magnificent finish
was the result.

SUMMARY.

Second race — Three-quarter-mile heats, for all ages:
Thomas G. Jones' c g Kildare, 4, by Kyrle Daly— Mistake, 110 lbs.

Hazlitt 1 1

Time— First beat, 1:221; second beat, l;Slj.
Auction pools— Kildare £40, Minnie R fir, Oro £8.
A match race, reputed to be for $500 a side, was next on
the card, between the well known horse Jack Brady and a
ch m named Lulu. The latter looks every iuch a racer, but
was either in no condition to rnn or purposely "fixed." The
pool selling was all in favor of Brady, a small coterie of buyers
not allowing a single pool to go to any outsider. Seventy to
thirty-five seemed about 'the ruling odds, although even
after the horses started a hundred to thirty-six was laid.
When tbe word was given Brady jumped to the front, and
before turning into the straight was anywhere from fifteen to
twenty lengths to the good. He won as Le pleased, the fol-
lowing being the

There is some talk in Eastern sporting circles about a match
race between the fillies Princess Bowling and The Lioness.
If the match is consumated the stakes will be $5,000 a side,
and the race will take place early in May.

The Button mare, dam of Alex Button, 2:26£, sire of Yolo
Maid (pacer), 2:14, is still living and breeding. She is owned
by the Widow Button, but has been farmed oat for the past
three seasons to Dr. Finlaw of Santa Rosa.

A weU-posted horseman laid a small wager, a few evenings
since at the Palace Hotel; anent the American Derby. His
bet is that of the three first horses under the wire, that two
of them would be Californian nominations.

Rumor hath it, that Mr. J. B. Haggin has, or will, enter
horseB for the English Derby. The gentleman himself is my
authoritv for denying tbe report, and he further says be has
no idea of taking any of his race horses across the Atlantic.

Budd Doble will not visit California this winter. The
horses recently sent to Los Angeles by him will remain there
nntil next spring, when Mr. Starr, in whose oharge they are,
will take them back to go through the summer campaign.

At Paisley, Lake Co., Ore., on Monday last, a race took
place between Alvin Moss's Dutchman, John Partin's Nigger

Foster won, with Nigger Boy a close second. The purse was
$100.

Martin Bergen, than whom there is no better young jockey,
has signed articles to ride for Cap*. S. S. Brown. Bergen
will have some of the best horses in the country to ride, and
I predict he will become a tirst-class "jock." He will join
the stable at Mobile on February 1st.

Mr. J. I. Case has sold the chestnut horse James G., foaled
1881, by Royal Chief, with a record of 2:20, to Mr. A. J.

Bearer, Brown Duke, Dyer, Col. Hunt, Everett, Blessing,
Laura Stone, Monita Hardy, Allabrene, Erebus, Roi d'Or,
Strideaway, Kermesse, Lottie Wall, Keeveena and a lot more

I will take it as a Bp?cial favor to the Breeder and Sports-
man if exchange fiends will give this paper credit for items
culled from its columns. Several papers are in the habit of
reprinting cuttines from the Breeder and Sportsman with-
out the trouble being taken to even rewrite them.

Sam Bryant was asked a few days ago if he had received
any more offers for Proctor Knott, "No I haven't," be said,
"and I don't want any. I shan't sell him now at any price,
and I'm going to take him East and run him and beat Haggin
in every big race in the East."

Among Mr. Haggin's entries to the 1S91 Futurity Stakes
are Miss Woodford, the famous flier, in foal to Sir Modred;
Explosion, the dam of the famous Dewdrop, in foal to Fal-
setto, who was also Dewdrop's sire, and Maud Hampton, dam
of the forty-tbousaod dollar colt King Thomas, in foal to Mr.
Belmont's stalUon St. Blaise. Two mates are nominated in
.foal to Hidalgo, and two more to Ben Ali,

As the Los Angeles Turf Club have already announced
their spring meeting for April 8th to 13th inclusive, and the
Fresno Fair Ground Association claim from April 23d to 27th
inclusive, the question arises, what dates will the Pacific
Coast Blood Horse Association have for their Bpring events?

The owners of Stamboul and Patron are trying to arrange
for a match race in addition to the great free for all stallion
race, which is now being talked about so much in the East.
Stamboul will be in Orrin A. Hickok's stable which will con-
tain some of the very best trotters and pacers ever sent from
California.

The three-old-year filly Viente formerly belonging to the
Baldwin stable, has been running at Clifton under the name of
"No More." Her present owners were not aware of the
necessity of fully establishing the identity of the filly and
came very near getting themselves into trouble through their
carelessness.

W. B. Allen, who lately purchased Miss Majolica from Mr.
Robert Bonner, will have the mare trained this year and
try to lower her record. Sb.e has shown a trial in 2:22^, but
it is supposed she can do much better.

Four of the Littlefield boys were seated around the dinner
table at Monmouth Park the other day when Charlie said:
"I hear that Jimmy McLaughlin weighs 145 pounds now."
"Well, if that is bo." said Fred, "I wouldn't be in his shoes
in the spring for $1,000.

During last year the Monmouth Park Jockey Club paid out
to horse owners $3S0,323, this sum having been won in the
172 races ruu over the Monmouth Park track during the
monthB ofJuly and August. Of this amount the olub gave
in added money to stakes and purses $210,850.

There are already evidences of Electioneer's prepotency in
the third generation. Two yearling great- grand sons of his
trotted quarters last fall in Petaluma under forty-five sec-
onds; each of them was sired by half-brothers, sons of Elec-
tor, 2:213- out of differently bred dams. Mr. J. H. White is
the fortunate owner of both sires, dams and colts.

The owners of Anteeo have beon offered $20,000 for him
by a Kentucky party. The association have made all the
necessary arrangements to have him stand in the 6tud at
Lexington, Ky., this season, and so have refused the offer.
Last season the income from bis services amounted to tbe
large sum of §10,350, which is more than his present owners
paid for him.

Mr. A. J. Alexander has bought for service at Woodbnrn,
from the estate of the late R. B. Conklin, the brown stallion
King Wilkep, by George Wilkes, dam Missie, by Brignoli.
King Wilkes has a record of 2:22J and is the sire of Oliver K.,
with a record of 2:16$. He has been on leaBe at Woodburn
for some time.

Fresno, Mr. J. B. Haggin's colt, is having a deal of atten-
tion paid him by the Eastern turfmen. Black and Blue, in
the Mail and Express, says that Fiesno is superior to either
tbe Favordale colt or French Park. I am inclined to the
belief that Salvator will prove the king bee of the stable, as
he is of the sort that "train on." Fresno does not like a
heavy track and is partial to light weight. He was a disap-
pointing colt, even to his own stable last 3 ear.

At the annual meeting of the Agricultural Park Associa-
tion, held recently at Santa Rosa, the following gentlemen
were e^cted officers for the ensuing year: I. DeTnrk, presi-
dent: S. I. Allen, vice-president; George A. Topper, secre-
tary; L. W. Burris, treasurer; Directors, I. DeTnrk, B. M.
Spencer, John Bailhache, Guy E. Grosse, S. I. Allen, J. H.
Laughlin, Julius Ort; Auditing and Finance Committee, B.
M. Spencer, GuyE. Grosse, S. I. Allen.

I understand that Mr." A. L. Whitney's stallion, Dawn,
2:19i, will not be in the stud this season. He will be kept in
good fettle through the winter, prepared next spring and
summer, and, barring accidents, will be sent for a watch
breaking record in the fall. With a couple of years added to
his age since last he was started, it is quite probable he will
prove a better "rater" than then, and meet with but little
difficulty in shaving the stallion record very closely.

Peep-o'-Day, the promising son of Dawn, 2:19|, now in
Owen Hickok's stable, out of a mare by a horse called Moun-
tain Boy, which was brought to Ukiah by a man named
Slater, and was there traded for mares to J. F. Todd, about
the year 1867- We have made inquiries before about the
breeding of this Mountain Boy, and the whereabouts of
Slater, but received no replies. Perhaps Jno. W. Mackey, or
Borne other old SoDoma county or Mendocino horseman can
throw some light on tne subject, which would gratify the
owners, Messrs. Hickok and Page.

While I have given in another column the entries to the
Brooklyn Handicap and Suburban, just think of the rattling
three-year-olds still eligible to the American Derby. Among
them are Proctor Knott, Galen, French Park, Salvator,
Fresno, Spokane, Sorrento, Culiente, Gladiator, Come-to-Taw,
Liberty, Heron, Monsoon, Wahsatoh, Winu'eld, Once Again,
The Lioness, Lady Hemphill, Kasson, the Czar, Don Jobs,
Picnic, Wheel of Fortune, Bootmaker and Volu-nteer. Out
of so many good ones, it is certain a field of three-year-olds will
come to the post that will make the race a memorable one for
years to come. In all there are 147 entries.

Mr. G. Valensin his purchased of Wilfred Page of Penn's
Grove, his yearling filly by Sidney, 2:19$, out of a mare by
Curtis' Hambletonian. If there be anything in breeding this
filly should prove a prize, Sidney seems to get fast ones out
of anything and everything, but here is a filly whose dam's
sire, although living to the age of only nine years, placed four
in tbe 2:30 Ii3t, and among these Hambletonian Mambrino,
2:21 \ who sired Wild Rake, record at three years of age 2:22$.
Curtis' Hambletonian's full brother Milwaukee baa already
Fired Adelaide, 2:18, and two others in the 2:30 list. The
dam of these two speed-producing brothers was Dolly Martin
(dam of Volnoy, 2:23 and Romeo, 2:29±) by Defiance.

The Sonoma and Marin Agricultural District boasts among
other stallions.of Anteeo 2:l6i, by Electioneer; Dawn, 2:194.
by Nutwood; Mortimer 2:27(4 yrs old), by Electioneer; Daly by
Gen. Benton; Jackson Temple (sire of Emma Temple 2;28£),
by Brown's Volunteer; Rustic, 2:30 (sire of Nighttime 2:29j);
Whipple's Hambletonian; Eclectic by Electioneer ont of a
sister to Woodnut, 2:16a, ann" Mania 2:21; Marco by Elector,
2:21 J; Secretary by Director, 2:17, dam by Goldsmith's Volun-
teer; A. P. by Alexander, 2:31*; Redwood, 2:31, by Anteeo,
2:16J; Alfred G, 2:31, by Anteeo, 2:16J, and a son of Fallis,
2:23, dam Stockton Maid (dam of Old Mik, 2:23). There
would seem to be but little room for "cross road" stallions
in that flourishing district.

M. F. Tarpey is the fortunate possessor of the well known
racing mare Notidle, but somehow or another, the owner
seems to act as a ;'hoodoo" to the game and fleety daughter
of Wildidle, for although she has won many races, Mr Tarpey
has never seen her come under the wire first. Whenever he
is present she invariable loses, and when he is not at the
track she just as surely wins.

Some horse owners do not seem to understand what the
new weights are, many of them contending that two-year-
olds must only carry 118 lbs. The proper weights are aa
follows: two-year-olds 119 pounds.fillies 116 pounds, on three-
year-olds 122 pounds, fillies, before Sept. 1, 117 pounds; after
that date 119 pounds, with no allowance for geldings. The
weights on four-year-olds will be the same as on three-year-
olds in races exclusively for three-year-olds, 122 pounds, with
five pounds allowance for mareB and fillies up to Sept. 1; after
that date three pounds allowance. There is a corresponding
increase of weights throughout the entire list.

A friend writing from Sacramento eays: "I am snr-
prised that you have not mentioned the Sale of Fallis, 2:23,
by Electioneer, to the Woodburn Farm, Ky. Mr. F. P.Lowell
of Sacramento sent the stallion East on December 15th. The
reported price is $15,000. In the same ear Mr. W. F. Smith
also sent his br f Albina De Mer, by Stamboul, dam Belle
Blanche by The Moor. Woodburn Farm has already adver-
tised the stallion's services at $150." I am surprised that the
interested parties did not notify me immediately on the sale
being consummated. I cannot collect all the gossip there is
in the State, but can compile it if my readerB will only send
in the news. Hereafter I shall look to my friend for Sacra-
mento items.

To the President, Board of Directors and Members of the

Respectfully,

Morris L. Williams, Treasurer.

Detroit, Mich., January 1, 1889.

From the foregoing it will be seen that "The American
Trotting Association is in a sound financial condition; that
notwithstanding its very low fee for annual dues it has uaid
all espensee, paid off $2,500 00 of its $5,000.00 indebtedness
(Guarantee Fund), and has to its credit a sufficient sum to
carry on the business until the revenues of 1S89 are received,
■which will undoubtedly be sufficient to wipe out the existing
indebtedness of $2,500.00 (Guarantee Fund), pay all running
expenses, and leave a satisfactory balance to the credit of the
Association.

The $10,05512 to the credit of the Trust Fund has all been
paid out except S513.25 pending liligaiion, and the report
shows the names to which the balance stands credited.

The list of 31S members shows the growth and strength of
the association, which it is believed will be a source of satis-
faction to its members and friends, as it is to its officers.
Very respectfully,

J. H. Steiner, Secretary.

A Talk With B. J. Baldwin.

"Well Grim, what is it you want to know?"
Mr. Baldwin was in a talkative mood and I determined to
draw him out on a point, which had been mentioned in many
conversations with owners and trainers last year while I
was following the eastern circuit. On the tracks of the four
large associatioDS, "Western men" is the term used when
talking of all owners who come west of the Allegany Moun-
tians, and there seemed to be a feeling among the Westerners
that the handicaping was not as advantageous to them as it
was to Eastern owners.

"Mr. Baldwin tell me what yon think of the Eastern
handicapers."

Think of them! Well, I will tell you, they have a bias in
favor of the East as against the West, and we are done an in-
justice in weights. I do not mean to say lhafc they rob us
intentionally, bo t there is a sectional feeliog among allot them
that causes a pound or two to go on our horses while the East-
ern ones are correspondingly favored. The way the business
is now run it is almost impossible to win with a nTBt-elass
horse, for the weight is shoved on so heavy that the good
horse is likely to break down, while the scrub that iB run-
ning against us is all right at the end of a season. Take Vo-
lante, for instance: Weight after weight was added to him
until he broke down, and in a day I lost the services of an
animal such as I had tried for years to secure. Look at
Firenzi; in the last handicap at Jerome Park she had to
carry 131 lbs., while Raceland, the winner, only had on 110
lbs., yet he had stamped himBelf a horse of high order during
the season, and should have had on much more weight. I
consider that weight breaks a horse down quicker than any-
thing else, and the Tnrf Congress has lately passed a law
which is enough to make all thinking men leave racing to
those who do not understand it. For the benefit of three or
four jockeys my horses will have to carry an extra weight,
and that extra weight is liable to cause an accident to any of
the two-year-olds, that under lighter weights might not
happen. I see Firenzi is entered in the suburban; she will
have to pack a monstrous load, and I sincerely trust Mr.
Haggin will not start her. The various associations have
banded together for mutual interests, and the bookmakers
have done likewise; now I think it is high time that the
horse owners should form a protective society, to farther
their own interests. At every meeting there should be two
or more open 6takes or purses, horses only to carry weight
for age, with neither penalties or allowances, then you would
find the cracks of the year contending against one another,
and it could be easily determined which was the best horse
of the season. The handicaping as at present arranged is a
failure, and needs revision badly.

"What horses will you take East this year. Mr. Baldwin?"
''I have Los Angelos, and will take the pick of sixteen or
seventeen youngsters. My stable will be very small this
season, as I have determined to cut down expenses. My
books show that I made $35,000 last year, yet I had to give
my jockeys and trainer $ 19,000, which is out of all propor-
tion. $11,000 went for bonus's, in addition to $25 for win-
ning mounts, and $10 for losing ones. My trainer got $4000,
making, as I said before, over one-half of the stable earnings.
I should have won much more than I did if it had not been
for the drunkenness of the trainer. This season I shall have
Campbell to look after the horses, and am now breaking in a
jockey who promises to be as good as any of them. His
name is West, a brother of the jockey who was killed last
year. I will stick to the Western tracks until the Saratoga
meeting opens, as there is more of a chance to win money at
St. Louis, Louisville, Chicago, etc., than there is in and
around New York."

"Will the EmpeTor of Norfolk ever run again?"
"I am in hopes he will. I Bee that Thomas says he will
never start again, but the veterinary surgeons who have ex-
amined him say that his legs are all right, and tint all he
needs is rest. He will not be trained this year. I will have
four or five of my best mares bred to him, probably Grisette
aDd Estrella among them."

"What do you think of Proctor Knott's chances?"
'T do not imagine that Mr. Bryant's horse wiil have every-
thing his own way; Salvator is a good one, and Galen must
not be sneezed at. Proctor Knott may not train up to his
old form this year, and even if he does I fancy there will be
four or five that mav down him."

A Chat With Hamilton.

T ny Hamilton, the colored jockey who has. signed with
Senator Hearst as chief jockey for next year, was in St. Louis
last week stopping with Henry Bridgewater. A represen-
tative of the Globe-Dtmoc-al had an interesting conversa-
tion with him:

"Whom do you consider the best jockey in America?" he
was asked.

"Well, I think Isaac Murphy is the king of all of them.
He is a wonderful judge of pace and is always good at the
finish. McLaughlin is another great jockey, and bis pluck
is proverbial. He has to almost work himself to death to get
down to weight."

"The boys, I suppose, will be glad to hear that the weights
are to be revised?"

"It will be a God-seud to us. I have been so weak at
times reducing that I could scarcely stand. I have gone
hungry for days in order to come to weight, and I have
turned away from the table, almost sick at the sight of the
good things which I couldn't touch. In reducing I walk
with sweaters on sometimes as much as ten miles a day, and
all this, too on an empty stomach. We earn our salaries,
sir," said the miniature knight of the pig Bkin, with a shake
of the head.

"You rode Salvator in ihe Futurity. Do you think him a
better colt than Proctor Knott?"

"I do most emphatically. I never saw a borse want to
quit as; badly in my life as did the Futurity winner.
Barnes had me hemmed in right against the rails on the
extreme outside, and I had no chance to work at all. If I had
been on tho inside I would have won by haU a length. As
it was, however, while I complain, I did not have the best
horse in the race. Galen was the best horse that day, and
had Turner used him right he could not have lost. You
mark what I tell you. Proctor Knott will rind three three-
year-olds next year who will give him a beating. They are
Galen, the Faverdale colt of Mr. Withers, and Salvator.
The Futurity winner cannot Btand the rough handling be
will receive in a bruising race. He tried to cut it in the
Futurity, and will stop next year when hard pressed over
a distauce of ground. I look for the Faverdale colt to be a
great one next year. He was about the unluckiest horse of
the year. He was last away in a number of races, but was
generally heard from before lh« wire was reached. I think
well of Diablo and Reporter. The former wap, I think, the
g-imest two-year-old out last year, and he will prove a bard
horse to beat this year. Reporter was the hardest worked

two-year-old in the country and proved himself to be a good

one in all kinds of company."

"What do you consider the best horse of the year?"
"Firenzi was, I think, the best of them. At weight forage

with sex allowances, I think she can always def at ihe Bard!

Not that the latter is not a grand race horse. I think he is a'

grand racer, but Firenzi is a mare as good as any I ever

saw,"

A Chat With the Owner of Galen.

George Hankins, owner of the Chicago stables, believes the
West compares favorably with the East from a racing stand-
point. "There are but three events in the East that are
worth going after," said he to a reporter of the Republic.

"How many of your three-vear-olds will you prepare for
the American Derby?" was asked.

"Three— Galen. Girondes and Heron. I shall have them
in shape for the Kentucky Derby also."

"Which do you think will be your most formidable com-
petitor in the American Derby?"

"A brother of the Emperor of Norfolk, called The Czar a
magnificent specimen of the race-horse."

"What do you think of Salvator's chances ?"

"He is too small an animal to make a great three-year-old
although he may tarn out to be a stayer. In my opinion
Fresno will beat him."

"Which part of the country will present the most attrac-
tions to horsemen this season, the East or the West?"

"The West by all means, and that is the reason I have made
up my mind to remain and do my racing here, starting in at
MempbiB. In my opinion the season will be a particularly
brilliant one in the West."

"Which representative of your stable will do the long-dis-
tance rnnniog?"

_ "Huntress, I should judge. I think from her performances
in the past she is the best titled."

"When do you expect McLaughlin?"

"About the 15th of the present month. He will remain in
Chicago about three weeks and then go to Memphis."

Their Records Broken.

There was quite <i sprinkling of horsemen at the Agricultu-
ral Park on Friday. January 11th, says the Los Angeles Tri-
bune, and they were well repaid for their visit The that
event on the programme was the pacing match for $250 a side
^Ween„t?re ^C6lebraled P^ing fillies Irma and Ella Wood
"Knapp" McCarthy drove Irma, and Charley Durfee handled
the reins for his pacer-a full sister to the great Arrow

Irma, by the way, has never before competed in a race A il
her records have been made against time, and everyone* wa
a little anxious to know how she would perform in a race
Irma arrived m Los Angeles last November from Kentucky'
almost reduced to a skeleton. She got the distemper on the
road so tha Messrs. "Knap" McCarthy and Hennessy had
to stay up all one night in order to save her life, and the ani
mal a ter arriving here was not fit to be taken out of a joe
until the beginning of December, and yet she was driven fof
a record on December 10th and made the mile in 2-20 ooirm
the last quarter strong in 33 seconds. On the same day that
Bell Boy lowered his record Irma was to have gone for a re.
cord, but the heavy downpour of rain prevented an atlempi
being made. The owner then waited for a fair day and trad
before the end of the year, but was disappointed, as the rah
invariably came down before the track had thoroughly dried
Irma does noblook much like a pacer. She is 16 hands hich
and a most symmetrical looking filly, resembling the biyh, *
type of the thoroughbred, with as fine a bead and neck
one would wish to see. and her easy, graceful style of eoin
is a pleasure to jlook at. The match was the best tw,
heats out of three. Irma won two straight heats in 2:181
She led all the way in the 6rst heat, and won with plenty to
spare. The last heat was a remarkable one, to say the leapt
EllaWoodledtillshe broke at the back stretThntfuA
before reaching the three-quarter pole Irma made a most die-
astrous break, and Ella Wood turned into the straight with a
clear lead of eight lengths. Everyone thought that Ella
Wood would win,'but Irma came up at a tremendous gait and
fairly electrifaed the ppectators by her wonderfnl burst of
speed, and passed under the wire winner by half a dozen
lengths in 2:181. Several outside watches made it 2 IS Bnt
for the unfortnnate break Irma would certainly have lowered
her record still two seconds. Ella Wood showed that she is
capable of beating 2:20, and considering that Durfee has only
handled the mare for a short period she is sure to make a
good mark this season. Irma will be kept in California and
bred to a eonple or California stallions, after which Dootor
Sohwarz intends, bar accidents, that she shall be driven
against the pacing record of the world. Koap McCarthy
never used a whip on the animal in thb race. A horse
oomes to Los Angeles almost dead with lung fever, yet inside
of two months the horse rounds to so well with this glorious
climate of ours that she is able to lower her record six sec-
onds. This speaks volumes for this part of the world as a
winter stamping ground for valuable race horses, paoers and
trotters.

The special trot for $200 a side between Nehusta a four-
year-old biy Blly, and Knap McCarthy's recent purchase
Cora Van Tassel, resulted in a win for Mr. Rose'f animal'
who lowered her record from 2:37* to 2:30. The time for
each heat was2:34£, 2:30, and 2:30$. Knap McCarthev drove
Tassel, and Maben, Nehusta.

The record breakers din not end here, for Albion in the
special match for $200 beat Harry Velox three straieht heftts
in 2:27, 2:30, and 2:261. *

The Chino ranch bay stallion Albion is by Electioneer and
the writer is strongly of the opinion that he will go a' mile
before the end of the season in at least four or five seconds
better than his record of 2:261.

Lexington.

We ou t from th e New York World ' 'Erik's" article
on the greatest of all Dative-bred horses which have
"tramped the American tnrf;" more properly one of the very
best racehorses, and as a progenitor superior to all . His oppor.
tunities were, perhaps, better than were awarded his prede-
cessors or contemporaries; bat after making all the allow,
ances possible for the minor chance of others (whan
compared with Lexington) he mnst be given the foremost
place as the progenitor of high class racehorses. But that
point has been so generally conceded, that there is little
necessity for repetition, though it is not bo generally known
that his blood figures in some of the fastest trotters of the
day, and with quite a number which have shown a fair rate
of trotting speed. Jay-Eye-See (2:10) and Sunol (two year-
old, 2:18) are from granddaughters, and so is Noontide (2:204)
while Ansel (2:20) is from a daughter. Maggie F. (2:26) was
by Newry, a Bon of Lexington, and Monarch (2:28$), also a
fcOD. Bland Temple is a daughter, and ahe is the dam of Nora
Temple (2:27*) and Temple (2:30). The graudam of Voucher
(2:22) was by Norfolk, aDd Captain Jenks (2:30i) was a son of
Norfolk, aud ran with, fair success before he was broken to
harness.

Mr. Crickmore is in error, we think, in namiog the son of
Woodpecker and the Sarpedon mare Kentucky Prince. We
never heard him so named, and in the account of the races
in the Old Spirit, Prince has no pretix. There is a singular
circumstance connected with these two ten-mile races be-
tween Prince and Hero. The first, in which Hero gave up
after goiDg six miles, has a report and the time of each mile,
the 7th, 8th and 9th being jogged in 5:08£; 6:16; 6:19; when
to win wagers Prince waB driven the 10th mile in 2:39. The
oggtegate time, as published in the Spirit, is 35:18, whereas
"Krik" gives 36:18, which ia the correot addition. As the
first five mileB were made in 13;09J, had Hero been capable
of pushing Prince to his best, he might have made a mark
which would yet stand as the best on record for the distance.
In the second race there is only a Bummary, and though the
time was very fast (28:08£), the first five miles was 59 seconds
slower than in the preceding race.

There is another correction reqnired, that being the price
Mr. Alexander paid for LexiDgton. In addition to $15,000
cash, he agreed to give the services of Lexington to four
mares annually, and this waB afterwards compromised by
Mr. Alexander paying Mr. Ten Broeck severa.1 thousand
dollars to cancel the privilege. The article will be of so
much interest to our readers that we copy it entire.

There is an error in the pedigree given, as Rowena was by
Sumpter, a son of Sir Archy.

Among the many horses famous in England none has
greater fame than Stockwell, which by reason of the success
of his Bona and daughters on the turf and in the paddock is
honored with the title "Emperor of Stallions." To many
Americans, Lexington is the greatest horse ever bred in this
country, not only by reason of his performance when in train-
ing, but as the Bire of hundreds of good horses and mares,
especially the latter. When racing was re-established almoBt
immediately after the war, the "cracks" of the day were
nearly all by Lexington. In due time they naturally began
to disappear and then Lexington's sons and Lexington's
daughters began to Bhow as sires and dams. The latter had
the call, and when mated with such foreign sires as Leaming-
ton, Australian, Phaeton, Billet and others, the produce was
such that the American thoroughbred became world-famous.
Lexington was a son of the famous BostoD, ont of the bay
mare Alice Oarneal, who was the daaghter of imported Sar-
pedon aud Rowena. The latter was by Sir Archy, by
Diomed, making three crosses from the first Derby winner,
two of which were through his sire Boston. The dam of
Rowena was Lady Grey, Bhe by Robin Grey, while Serpedon
was a 6on of Emilias, out of Icaria, one of the stanchest
families in the English Stnd Book, and had a strain of blood
that in later years became better known through imported
Australian.

Alice Carneal was owned by Dr. E. Warfield and is described
by Dr. B. G. Bruce in his "Memoir of LexingtoD," us a
mare of particular high and nervous temperament, who, at
home, was superior to any horse that Dr. Warfield ever bred,
but when drawn for a race would sweat freely, tremble,
purge and become so nervous and excited as to be totally
unfitted for a race. Alice Car-Deal did not run until five
years old, and then only four times, winning once, and was
second once. The race won was at two-mile heats, run at
GeorgefowD, Ky., for a purse of $200. It bad nine starters,
Alice was sixth in the first two heats, and winner of the
third and fourth in 3:58, 3:58, the first and second having
been run in 3:49 and 3:52. At six years Alice Carneal started
twice, and at seven years once, bnt she was never again a
winner. She was Bent to the stud in 1844 and was bred to
Boston in 1849, the produce of which was a bay colt, that
was first called Darley, and under that name ran on May
22, 1853, in the Association StakeB for three-year-olds at
mile heats, colts carrying 86 and fillies 83 ponnds. Twelve
started over a tiack knee-deep in mud, in which Darley,
Garrett Davis, and Madonna ran away two miles and three-
quarters before they oould be pulled up. In five minutes
they were ordered to the post, excepting Garrett Davis, who
was withdrawn. At the tap of the drum Darley took the
lead, winnit g the heat in 1:55J, with seven horses distanced.
Darley also won the second heat in 1:57, with John Harper's
Wild Irishman (by Glencoe) second in both heats. At the
same meeting (May 27th.) Darley won the Citizen's Stake at
two-mile heats, winning the second and third beats in 3:41 '.
and 3:49. John Harper's Midway winning the first heat iu
3:42£. It is not at all surprising that Lexington could run
in the mud.

The day after Darley won the Citizens' Stake Mr. Richard
Ten Broeck aud Capt. Willa Viley bought Darley, and imme-
diately changed hiB name to Lexington. The terms were
$2,500 cash and $2,500 more if he won the then proposed
Great State Stake at New Orleans. Mr. Ten Broeck was not
a stranger in Kentucky. He had been racing for many
yerrs. having taken some American horses over to Havana
in 1843. where he won several races. Mr. Ten Broeck was
born in New York, and had been appointed to West Point
about 1829. But tiring of military restraint, it is Baid that
be ran away before the first year was over. Mr. Ten Broeck

began his career with Lexington by matching him against the
Glencoe filly Sallie Waters, to run at three-mile heats at New
Orleans early in December.

That Mr. Ten Broeck was an active man may be imagined,
for in November he won two ten-mile trots over the Centre-
ville track, on Long Island, with Kentucky Prince against
Mr. Joseph Hall's pacer Hero. Kentuoky Prince was a chest-
nut, by Woodpecker, out of a mare by the thoroughbred Sar-
pedon— the sire of Lexington's dam Alice Carneal. The late
Hiram Woodruff handled and drove Kentucky Prince. The
first race was for $5,000 a Bide, both to go in harness, drivers
to weigh 165 pounds. Hero was driven by Geo. Spicer, who
made the pace at first, but was stopped in the seventh mile,
Kentucky Prince winning in 36:18, cf which the first five
miles were trotted in 13:09A, and the last mile in 2.39, the
latter to win a big bet made by Mr, Ten Broeck that the horse
would trot the last mile inside of three minutes. Ten days
aftei the two horses trotted over the Union Course, a second
race at the same distance, for $5,000 a aide, wnjch Kentucky
Prince also won in the excellent time of 28:084.

With his winnings ou the above two races Mr. Ten Broeck
went to New Orleans, where, on December 2, Lexington won
his match against Sally Waters, and beat ber easily, the first
heat in 6:23^, distancing her in the second in 6:244- The
mach was tor $8 500 ($5,000 on Sallie Waters to $3" 500 on
Lexington). So pleased was Mr. Ten Brceck with his success
sb a match-maker that he ofFered to back two or four horses
by Boston against any frno or four horses not by Boston, at
two, three and four mile heats, for $10 OOOto §20,000 a side.
The proposition was never accepted but in the meantime
Lexington was prepared for the Great State Port Stakes,
which was run over the Metairie track at New Orleans, on
April 1, 1854.

The track was very heavy, a strong wind which prevailed
having so hardened the mud that it was very stiff and un-
yielding. The first heat was won under a strong pull by
three lengths, and the second heat easily, of which the last
milelwas the fastest in the race. The result naturally caused
great enthusiasm, especially among the Kentuckiaos present,
they winuing, as the writer w. s once told in New Orleans, a
steamboat loaded with niorjey.

They were fated, however, to lo^e some of it. Both Lex-
ington and Lecompte were entered for the Jockey Club purse
of $2,000, set down to be run on the Saturday following (April
8). The feeling ran high in the Crescent City, the backers of
Lecompte demanding another race. Mr. Ten Broeck finally
consented, but to do so he had to bny his partner's (Capt.
Viley) half interest in the horse for $5,000. The race was run
with Judge Hunter's Reube also a starter Lecompte won
the first heat in 7:26, and' the second iu 7:3S|J — time faster
than ever expected. LexingtoD, however, was not himself,
to which is coupled the fact that Meichou, the rider of Lex-
ington, pulled up in the second heat after going three miles,
under a belief that he had gone four miles. He naturally
lost much ground, but Lexington responded so well when
set goiug again that Lecompte only beat him by four lengths.
with Reube distanced.

The result did not suit Mr. Ten Broeck, and he offered to
match Lexington to run Lecompte another race of four-mile
heats for $10,000 a side within three days. F. J. Wells, the
owner of Lecompte, declined. Mr. Ten Broeck soon after
came to New York, where, through the Spirit of the Times,
he issued the following ohallenge:

* * * I will run him (LexingtoD) a single four miles over the
Metairie Course at New Orleans (under the rules of the Club) against
the fastest time at four miles that has been run in America for t be
sum of $10,0 0, one-fourth forfeit. Two trials to be allowed, and the
race to be run between the 1st and 15tb of April nest. Arrow to be
substituted if Lexington is amiss.

Or I will run Lexington over the same course four-mile beats on the
Thursday previous to the next Metairie April meeting against any
named horse of the rate expressed in the proposition subjoined.

Or Twill run him over the Union Course at New York the same
distance on the third Tuesday in October. The party accepting
the laBt race to receive SSS.100 to S30.0UO, or to bet the same odds if
LexiDgton travels to run at New Orleans. The forfeit to be SS.OCO,
to be deposited with Messrs- Coleman and Stetson of the Astor House
when either race ia accepted, if ihe amounts of the lost propositions
are too large they may be reduced one-half, with forfeit in the same
proportion. * * * R. Ten Broeck.

New York, May 30, 1854.

This challenge was followed by a long controversy, with
some bitterness, in which "North" and "South" were mixed.
Finally iu August the challenge for a race at four-mile heats
was accepted by Col. Calvin Green and Capt. John Belcher,
of Virginia, for a race over the Union Course, Long Island,
to take place that autumn. The controversy continued with
increased bitterness, but Mr. Ten Broeck had to finally write
one letter that settled all tbe disputes until the spring of
1855. It was dated Sept. 13, 1854, and was addressed to "W.
T. Porter, editor Spirit of the Times (old issue), in which he
Baid:

I regret to inform you that Lexington broke his bridle while exer-
cising on his training track, and running through a held of standing
corn so bruised his legs as to make it necessary to stop his gplloping
in view of his match against time next spring.

It was during that winter, or the following spring, that the
accident occurred which finally caused Lexington to go blind,
which Mr. J. B. Pryor desoribes as follows:

I had an alley-way through my stables, in which my feed-box was
located. The wea'her being warm, the doorB were left open, with
bars in front. Lexington gov out of his box and got at the feed and
filled himself. The late Capt. W. J. Minor had come to my house the
night before to see LexiDgton work in the morning. I ba 1 him out to
work, and soon found there was something wrong, aud then my head
man told me about bis getting out The horse soon after was in a
high fever with inflammation of the eyes. That was bis first trouble,
and bis eyes never recovered, and he was almost blind when be ran
bis great race.

Mr. Ten Broeck's challenge to run Lexington four miles
against Lecompte's 7:26 was accepted by Col. Calvin Green
and Capt. John Belcher, of Virginia, and it was made a fix-
ture for the first day ^f the Metairie Spring meeting at New
Orleans, April 2. 1855, for $10,000 a Bide. It was the event
of the season, and it attracted not only the racing people of
the South, but many from the North. The New Orleans
"Picayune," then the racing authority of the Crescent City,
gave a long and picturesque account of the race. The offi-
cihls selected were Geo. Stephen M. Westmore, for the Vir-
ginians; Mr. Arnold Harris, for Mr. Ten Broeck, with John
G. Cocks, President uf the Metairie Jockey Club, as umpire.
The timers were Duncan F. Kenner, Stephen B. Elliott and
Captain W. J. Minor. The betting was heavy, with Lexing-
ton, the favorite, at 100 to 75. Gilpatrick rode the horse at
103 pounds, which included three pounds overweight. The
first half-mile was run in 53 BecondB, and the first mile in
1:47£, which was much too fast, and "Gil" was ordered to
slack up. In the second mile Arrow joined in the contest,
following Lexington at about thirty yards away, the mile
being runinl:52£. As they began the third mile, Arrow
closed up somewhat, and Lexington increased his pace a
trifle, running the mile in 7:51$. Upon enteriog the fourth
mile Arrow was stopped, and Joe Blackburn went at him
again, but, as in the first mile, he was of but little bene6t.
Lexington, running on practically alone, did the mile in
1:483 (last quarter in 24$ seconds), making the total time
7:19|.

The track was very hard, and during the race Lexington
lost bis left fore-plate and half the right one. He also
wanted to swerve oat from the rails iu the last mile to the
soft going in the middle of the track. An interesting
souvenir of the race, in the shape of one of the plateB worn
by Lexington, is framed and hanging up in the rooms of the
American Jockey Club in this city. How good the time of
7:19|was. and still is, can be eptimated by the fact that it
was not until Aug. 20, 1874, at Saratoga, that Fellowcraft,
then four years old and carrying 108 pounds, beat it, running
the distance in a race in 7:19£, which is sttll the best on
record for a race, while Ten Broeck, on Sept. 27, 1876, at
Louisville, with 104 pounds, did the distance against time
in 7:15|.

The Metairie Jockey Club's Spring meeting having begun
with Lexington's race agaiust time ended on Saturday, April
10, with a race at four-mile heats, which was fully as sensa-
tional. It was for the Jockey Club purse of $1,000. Almost
immediately after the time race, in which Lexington had so
effectually wiped out Lecompte's 7:26, the admirers of that
horse rallied and offered to back their horse to beat Lexington.
The result waB that the owner of both horses agreed to Btart
for the Club puree with an inside bet of $2,500 each. The
meeting of two such champions as Lexington and Lecompte
naturally caused the greatest excitement in turf circles.
According to the local reports all Mississippi and Louisiana
were in New Orleans on that day. The weather was all that
could be wished for, with the track in splendid oondition. In
the betting Lexington was the favorite at 100 to 80. He waB
ridden by Gilpatrick at 103£ pounds (3$ overweight), Le-
compte was ridden by the colored boy "Abe," at 100 pounds.

They got a good start, with Lexington on the inside, and
Gilpatrick at once began to force the pace, and at tbe end of
the first mile he led by three-quarters of a length in 1:40A.
The pace slacked up a little in the Fecond mile, but Lexing-
ton still kept the lead and they passed the stand in 3:40£.
having run the mile in 1:51. In the third mile Abe began
riding Lecompte, but he could not reach Lexington, who
gradually increased the gap, so that there were four lengths
between them at the end of the mile, 'which had been run in
1:51. At the beginning of the fourth mile Abe began to use
both whip and spurs. They were unavailable, Lexington
could not be reached, and, increasing his lead at every stride,
he won in hand, while Lecompte just saved his distance.
The time was 7:23|, the last mile having been run in I:52£.
Before the time had expired for the second heat Gen. "Wells
withdrew Lecompte, and Lexington's career as a race horse
was at an end. It was Mr. Ten Broeck's intention to have
taken him to England, but the horse's eyes soon became so
bad that it was only a question of time when he would be
entirely blind. Thus he was saved to become the greatest
sire known to breeders in the United States. Almost imme-
diately after the race he was sent to W. F. Harper at Mid-
way, Ky., where his services soon became in great demand.

The season of 1856 was also made at Midway. In June
of that year Mr. R. A. Alexander visited EnglaDd, accom-
panied by Mr. Nelsou Dudley, of Lexington, who finally
peisuaded Mr. Aeexander to buy Lexington in preference to
any stallion that could be bought in England. Tbe result
was that Mr. Alexander did buy Lexington for $15,000, pay-
ing Mr. Ten Broeck $7,500 m cash, "the remainder to be
paid if Lexington were alive when he (Alexander) reached
home. The Eoglish horse bought at the same time was
Scythian, by Orlando. Lexington began serving at Wood-
burn in 1857. Among his foals that year was a chestnut
colt out of a Glencoe mare, that was so weak on its legs and
unpromising that Mr. Dudley order it killed.

The negro stable hand begged the life of the colt, and
with care brought it up. The colt became the horae OptimiBt,
that ran for Mr. Ten Broeck, and won a number of long-
distance races in England, including the Ascot Stakes in 1891
and the Queen's Plate, over the Beacon Course (tour miles,
one furlong and one hundred and forty-three yards) at
Newmarket. Ou his retirement he sired the famous French
horse, Mars, the sire of Jongleur, in 1877. Lexington's
services at "Woodburn was continuous, except during a
temporary removal to Illinois in 1S65, until the year of his
death. He died on Thursday, July 1, 1375, from cause due
to nasal catarrh, with which ha began to be troubled some
three yesrs before his death. He was buried at Woodburn,
but tbe remains were exhumed, and the skeleton "set up,"
and it is now a prominent object of interest in the National
Museum at Washington.

It ia utterly impossible to do justice to Lexington as a
race-horse or a sire. He was simply the greatest hosse ever
raised in this country. He never broke down and his legs
were as good on the day of his death as they were when he
was first put in training. That his old trainer, Mr. J. B.
Pryor, is still of that opinion is shown by the following
extract from a note reaeived from him dated Holmdel, Nov.
12, 1888, which is almost the duplicate of one he wrote from
England to some friends in this country in May, 1863:

* * * In justice to Lexington, be was tbe beat race-horBe I ever
<=aw in any country. I have been training race-horses over fifty years
in America, England, France and Germany, and I have never Been a
horse that could beat him in either country, anJ [ have trained Borne
of the best race-borses in tbts country and the others. As to his race
against time in New Orleans, 1 know that he could have run in 7:10 on
that day. KIEK.

Leading Winning: Sires.

All Hail Glenelg, king of winning sires. Another season
has rolled around, and once nice the son of Citadel stands
at the head of the list. Glenelg came to America in utero,
being foaled in 1866, his darn Babta by Kingston, son of
Venison. Babta was out of Alice Low, she by Defence;
her dam was called Pet, she by Gainsborough. Glenelg
stamped himself a first class racer, and won many important
events. Starting IS times, he was placed first on 10 occa-
sions, 4 times second, and 3 times third. Firenzi and Los
Angeles are again the two largest winners, but the positions
are reversed from that of last year, the bay filly then head-
ing the list.

Anent Tips.

Arranging- the Circuit.

Scarcely a mail comes without one or more letters in
relation to the use of tips, and when the statements are
likely to have a general bearing on the question, answers
will be given through the paper. There are quite a
number which do not present features which will be of
public interest, or require answers other than to get our
blacksmiths to make tips from a diagram of the foot
aiid in some instances queries which have been answered
only a short time before. "We cannot supply the de-
mand for specimen tips, as the blacksmith who does our
work has so much to do in the way of horse-shoeing and
geaeral blacksmithing that he is busily engaged with his
regular customers. Several years ago we had tips cast
of malleable iron, there being a foundry for that branch
of work connected with The Judson Works, which is
only a short distance from our residence, and they had
several advantages over those which were hand made.
Thsy wore longer, the metal sustaining the wear of
macadamized streets at least 25 per cent better than any
steel that has been tried since. But there was not the
proper uniformity of temper for other purposes, and on
that account the works had to suspend. We have here-
tofore made the patterns, but at present are much too
busy, and have not even the time necessary to instruct a
pitt em-maker. "When there is greater leisure an en-
deavor will be made to obtain such a variety of patterns
that it will do to send to Cleveland, Ohio, where we are
informed the best work of that class is done. We Bhall
then be able to supply those whom we are forced to re-
fuse, and it is not unlikely that, from the present out-
look, there will be a demand which will warrant the
Cleveland works to keep them in stock and furnish
b" ?\vare dealers in those sections, at least, where fast
"ers are trained, and in the citie3 there is sure to be a
nd. for them for road uses.

Under the above heading, and finishing with "A
Breeder," a very good article will be found in ano'her
part of this paper. The signature is not a pseudonym,
although somewhat indefinite, as the gentleman who Bent
the communication is largely interested in breeding trot-
ters, and is the owner of stock which are as likely as any
to make their mark on California tracks. The problem
of how shall the clashing of dates be overcome? or rather,
what steps must be taken; what system developed where-
by the holding of two or more meetings at the same time
will do the least injury? Without having the necessary
time at present to give the subject the attention its
importance merits, we are favorably impressed with the
views of our correspondent, and if others, who are inter-
ested in California trotting, will give careful considera-
tion and present their ideas through the Breeder and
Sportsman, some plan will be evolved which will
remedy, in a measure, opposing interests.

A New Method to Dress Horses.

We have the utmost confidence that the republication
of the greater part of the Duke of Newcastle's work will
be appreciated by such a large majority of our readers
as to receive a practically unanimous verdict in favor of
the plan. In the first place, there is not another turf
paper in the United States which could accomplish the
job. The only copy excepting ours in the United States
is in the ABtor Library; at least that is the sole volume
we ever hear of, or have known to be quoted from,
and the work being so rare, it is not likely that a permit
could be obtained to have it taken from the library, in
order to obtain negatives necessary to present fac-
similes, and without these much of the interest would be
lacking. Again, the copy from which our representa-
tions are takea is as perfect as the day it left the press;
and more than that, with recommendations and correc-
tions which are unquestionably the work of the author.
The title-page, a fac simile of which is placed at the
head of the column, and which will be kept there, is a
curiosity in itself; and in addition thereto, a fac-simile
of one page or more will be given in each and every
number of the paper containing the work.

Not only as a curiosity will jthis work be valued.
There is a fund of information to the students of horse
lore, although written ao long ago as in the reign of
King Charles the Second, and a quaint philosophy which
will please those who have a taste for that kind of com-
position.

One of the most valuable parts will be the author's
description of the various breeds of horses of the
seventeenth century, and which no man of his time was
so thoroughly competent of describing. Universally re-
garded as the best horseman of the day, with opportuni-
ties beyond those of all his contemporaries, enthusiasm
so ardent that it was a labor of love to place his knowl-
edge in a form which would be of benefit to all who
could read, and had the capacity to understand, it is not
surprising that we should regard his contribution to
horse literature as eminently worthy of being repro-
duced 222 years after its first appearance. The Duke of
Newcastle wrote a work in French, which was translated
and printed in English, and that is comparatively well
known, extracts appearing in various works, although
there have been frequent quotations by several authors
from "The New Method to Dress Horses."

"Frank Forestor," Henry W. Herbert, in his elaborate
work, "Horse and Horsemanship," thus writes of New-
castle:

"The Markham Arabian is probably the first of this
strain (Arab) ever brought into the British Isles; yet I can-
not, myself, perceive wherefore the rejection of this Arab
should be charged, as it generally appears now to be, as an
error, against the Marquis of Newcastle, the eame who
gallantly commanded for the king at Marston Moor, and
would have won for him his battle, and perhaps his crown,
but for the mad and selfish impetuosity of Rupert. This is,
however, nothing to the point, however much it may be so
that he was considered the best horseman of his day, and
that he has left, as a legacy to posterity and a bounty to all
those who love that noble animal, incomparably the best old
English work on the horse."

Again on another page Mr. Herbert writes:

"It is, I think, worthy of notice, that Newcastle, who was
a scholar, a. travelled man, an observer and a gentleman, as
well as a soldier aDd a horseman, records his preference of
the Spanish horse to any other strain of blood existing in
his time, and in doing so directly refers to the Barb, for ser-
vice, though not in those terms, as a racing stallion. And
it is observable, that the very authors who attack him,
borrow his description of the various races without acknowl-
edgement."

The attacks referred to were on account of the poor
opinion he had of the Arab horse, although he candidly
admits that the only one of the breed he ever saw was
the Markham Arabian; but we will not anticipate what
the great duke has to offer regarding any of the breeds,
reserving his descriptions for their appropriate place. A
friend to whom we showed the facsimile of the title page,
and explained the intention suggested that when more

than one page was occupied, the form should be so
arranged that It could be clipped out without using two
numbers, as would have been the case if printed on
opposite sides of the same leaf, and then those who do
not have the numbers bound could paste them in a scrap
book for future reference. We shall adopt the plan, as
without any coubt many people will avail themselves of
the opportunity.

In order that our readers may not be troubled with
the orthography which prevailed in the days when the
Duke of Newcastle wrote, that has been made, with a
few exceptions, to conform to the present mode, though
the old punctuation is follored, as that seemed necessary
to convey the full meaning of the author. The facsimiles
which will be given will show nio.e clearly, than can be
done by pen portraiture, the great difference from then
and now, not only ia the spelling, but also in the use of
capiial letters and italics.

Humbug.

Of all the humbugs which are foisted on the public, in
the name of sport, we regard that of long distance "go-
as-you-please" pedestrianism as being entitled to the
pride of place when the question is raised of the superla-
tive degree of hunibuggery. We were entrapped into
giving a six day's contest between two of the celebrites
of 1880 a support which, when we saw the settlement at
the close, we were heartily ashamed of, and it may be
that the disgust which followed carries weight that is
greater than should be placed on similar exhibitions.

We could not believe, until the proof was absolute'
that prominent men could be so devoid of shame as to
write, publish and tell a whole chapter of falsehoods in
relation to the match, and when they were attacked
ascribed the animus to prejudice. "Sucker'7 enough to
believe protestations that everythiug "was on the
square," and when there was no longer anything to be
gained by deception the veil was thrown aside without
the least compunctions of conscience, without a blush on
the cheeks, or tremor of voice when mendacity and
duplicity were admitted. It was part of the show, some-
thing to be proud of, that people were gulled into the
belief that a bona Jide match was in progress, when all
that it could be termed was a huge "fake" to capture the
dollars of a credulous public.

The "prince of showmen," P. T. Barnum, claimed that
humbug was a legitimate device, in that respect agreeing
with Hudibras that there was as much pleasure in being
cheated as to cheat, and that whatever amused the people
was perfectly correct, if even it was a mermaid fashioned
out of the head of a monkey and the tail of a fish, a
Joyce Heath or any other of his mysticisims. It might
be that he had a little truth on his side, as any ingenious
piece of mechanism will attract attention, and to have
the senses so utterly at fault as to fail in detecting the
secret springs of "bamboozlement," gives a zest to the
imposition which is generally relished.

The match alluded to, between O'Leary and Weston,
was the only one we ever witnessed, and although not
much of our time was spent in looking on, it was a great
surprise that people should crowd the pavilion night
after night to see two men shuffling along at all conceiv-
able manner of human "gaits."

That the same tactics ar6 to be employed, so far as the
daily papers can be used, in the forthcoming match is
evident. Already the keynote is sounded, and the lead-
ing morning papers are full of intelligence regarding the
affair, which does not open until the 21st of February.
What could be better than the following quotations, the
object being to make good use of the credulity of the
people of this and adjoining cities. The "glorious cli-
mate," pride of all true-hearted Californians, is made to
open the campaign, and there the gratification of wit-
nessing the best record for the distance is a natural
sequence, and may be called the heavy artillery of Gen-
eral Hall:

A rather quiet quartette, consisting of Frank Hall, Bobby
Vint, Thomas Howarth, and E. C. Moore, arrived here yes-
terday on the early train from the East. Hall is the man-
ager who recently was at the head of the great Eastern go-as-
you-please matches, and who has come to this Coast to ar-
range for another, to take place beginning on February 21st,
and continuing for six days.

An "Examiner" reporter met the party a short distance up
the road. Hart, who is a short, business-like individual,
with a wonderful luxuriance of hair and beard, appears to be
quite a sport, having really more to Bay about kennel and
pugilistic matters than he has about the match which he
proposes handling. In connection with the matter, how-
ever, he Btated:

* 'I believe that in this g'orious climate the world's record
of 623 miles, which is held by Littlewood, the Englishman,
can be broken. While I am positive that the men who are
to start will cover 650 miles in six days, I would be far from
astonished if they covered 700 miles."

The Call has nearly a column, mostly taken up with
points, breeding and records of the men, and we suppose
that the Chronicle and the Alia are not behind hand in
eulogistic notices.

We have no cause to think, and therefore do not charge

that there has been, or will be, so much mendacity as
was the case in the one mentioned, but we do protest
against bringing it under the caption of sportr as it
should be dubbed an exhibition which has pleased the
people of the big metropolis of the country, and is alto-
gether likely to entice the mercurial folk of the Pacific
Coast.

Mr. Baldwin on Eastern Handicaps.

Our associate "Grim" has interviewed the owner of the
Santa Anita string, and, as will be learned by a peiusal
of the interview, Mr. Baldwin is not backward in stating
his views. While there is a tendency to growl over the
work of the handicapper, and take him to task (it may be
with curses loud and deep), there ia a general impression
among western owners that they are not fairly treated
ia the way of imposts. Handicaps have swallowed
weight-for-age races, so that the really good horses have
little chance after going through their three-year-old
engagments. That racing is a game of weights is a tru-
ism which does not require elaboration, and though a
horse may be so far superior to his contemporaries that
with health and condition every race he participates in
will be at his mercy, it is far more rare to fiud such an.
animal at the present time than in the years when
Fashion, Boston and Lexington ruled the roost.

Regarding the Emperor of Norfolk we cannot under-
stand the reasons for Mr. Thomas changing his opinion
in so short a time. "When he showed him to Mr. Winters
and ourself the second day of the Blood-Horse meeting,
he expressed himself in very different terni% stating,
with apparent confidence, that he was sure he would be
able to race again the coming season, eulogizing the colt
as the best which had ever been shown, and with no
expectation of seeing his equal were he (Thomas) to
live to a hundred years.

If Mr. Baldwin will have him broken to harness,
driven on a trot this year, and confine his work to pull-
ing a sulky when first put in training until he is thor-
oughly "seasoned," use astringent and cooling lotions on
the injured tendon, wear bandages when galloping fast
under which there is good supply of cotton batting, keep
him barefooted so long as the toes do not wear away to
cause soreness, and we have absolute faith that in 1S90
he will be himself again.

The Pool and Betting Question.

The only arguments we shall use in favor of a bill to
regulate pool selling and bookmakiug are those which
bear on the horse breeding interests of this section of the
country. Forming as it does one of the great resources of
the State at present, if not hampered by adverse interests
there will be a growth which the most sanguine would
not dare to prophesy.

The "high-morality" plea we have little to say about.
Men are emphatically gambling animals, and that is
nearly as strong in humankind as the passion for stimu.
lants. The best plan is to endeavor to regulate these
propensities, and remove as much as is possible, tempta-
tions. Prohibition is of doubtful utility. The old-time
blue laws are now looked upon as the determination of
bigots and fanatics to make every one subject to their
prejudices and whims. Gloomy ascetics — men who
would fain place a black cloud to obstruct the rays of
the sun in order that all Nature should reflect the dark
shadows which press on their own hearts. The Great
Architect of the Universe, in boundless beneficence, has
granted a world of sunshine, of bright flowers, green
fields and singing birds. He has implanted a lcve of
pleasure in every breast, and also retributive justice when
these pleasures degenerate into any kind of excess. The
laws of the Creator are infallible, the best code which
human intelligence has evolved is susceptible of improve-
ment. It has bjen enunciated by one of our greatest
men, and the opinion shared by others that "the best
government was that which governed the least," but
this has to be accepted with explanations and amend-
ments to cover the ground. Civilized society has become
so intricate, theie are so many rights to guard, that huge
volumes, "ponderous tomes," are necessary to contain
laws'which are imperatively demanded. Unquestionably
the right to restrain, as well as to punish, is legitimately
within the ophere of legislators, and when it ia manifestly
proper to adopt guards in the way of prevention, that
course is better than to punish criminals after the crime
has been committed. As we have written heretofore, i^
is not the intention to more than allude to the question
of morality, the purpose being, in these articles, to show
the drawbacks which betting rooms are to the horse-
breeding interests, and which if continued will, in al|
probability, be an impost that will, in a measure, destroy
the business.

Rigid moralists may deplore that the propensity to
gamble is so universally the inheritance of the human
family. Were not that passion a part of our heridity
an inheritance which dates from the creation of man

the world would retrogade into an existence which is
typified by animals which are denied speculative ideas.
The only habitable portion of the world would be those
favored countries where Nature has provided the food
necessary for the preservation of life, and where the
climate renders clothing an encumbrance.

The sports of the turf and track can only be fully sus-
tained when there is an opportunity to speculate on the
result of the contests. Kept within bounds the harm
which may follow is so far counterbalanced that the
good outweighs the evil over and over again. Pool
selling and bookmaking, when placed under the charge
of respectable associations, are as much a part of the
recreation as tho stakes which are deposited. We do
not claim that the pool rooms of San Francisco are con-
ducted in any other than a fair manner, but that they
are not an appendage, or in any manner an assistance
to racing and trotting is beyond question. When asso-
ciations let the privilege of pool selling, from 60 to 80
per cent of the gross earnings is paid into the treasury,
and this enables the societies to give far larger premi-
ums than would be possible without that aid. Public
rooms which are open for the whole of the year, the chief
business being on races which take place in far-off sec-
tions, do not add one dollar to the amounts awarded to
encourage the breeding of fine horses, the revenue being
apportioned for rent, telegraphic communications, clerk
hire, etc., and profits of the proprietors. That there are
large profits, a big balance on the credit side of the ledger
is so palpable that it is unnecessary to present a detailed
statement of probable receipts and disbursements. The
men engaged in it are too shrewd to pursue a losing
business, there must be large profits or they would not
be so anxious to retain the income. It may be claimed
that the moneys obtained from transactions on races
which are decided thousands of miles from San Fran-
cisco, do not interfere with those on this side of the con-
tinent. They do, however, in more ways than one. The
money which is expended in speculating on these far
away events, or a portion of it at least, is diverted from
the natural channel, and as the outlay which is necessary
to cover the big expense, not taking the profits into
consideration, is so large a sum that a moderate percent-
age would be a great addition to the resources of the
tracks in the neighbourhood of San Francisco.

But there is a greater grievance. Before "rooms" were
opened in the city there would be an attendance of hun-
dreds at the minor races, where now there are scarcely
tens, and this falling off is not confined to the race
courses which are contiguous to the metropolis. The
attendance at the fairs has been decreased, and very
many of the dwellers in San Francisco, who made it a
rule to "follow the circuit," find the attractions of the
betting rooms superior to those which entail a journey to
seek. As a majority of these men were steady patrons
of the pool box there is a lowering of the percentage as
well as the money expended for tickets, and with nothing
to compensate.

Although the main market for California bred horses
is in the East, without opportunities to test them at home
there will be a falling off in production, and breeders
whose means are limited will be forced to abandon the
business. Without home inducements to train race
horses and educate trotters, there will be neither profit
or interest attached to the pursuit, and it is only a ques-
tion of time when betting rooms, kept open the whole of
the year in San Francisco and the larger towns of the
State will be a handicap which cannot be carried.

Editor Breeder and Sportsun; — I have been reading your
book, "Tips and Toeweights," and have tried them some, but
cannot get a blacksmith to make them to suit me. I tried
them on a dou>.l»-gaited horse that carried a 14 ounce shoe
and 5 ounce weight, but he would pace in spite of me.

There is in this country a son of Blue Bull that has more
speed than any of his other sons and daughters, that has
shown trials in 2:14 with less than sis week's handling after
making a season in the stud, and the first handling he ever
received he trotted a full mile in May t » a road cart in 2:26,
but after about four or five week's handling bis feet got sore
and matter comes out of cracks in the bottom of his feet. Do
you believe that the tips with careful handliug would carry
him through all right? He would make a man a fortune if
they would. He has been in the hands of two of the best
handlers in this State, but they could not get hira through
with shoes on. I am a poor man, and it would about break
me up if I should buy him and he should do no good, as bis
services are not appreciated in the stnd on account of his
feet.

We own a horse that can trot fast, but we took him to a
horse show and trotted him over rough ground, bo he got to
hopping with his left hiud foot. He is very long-gaited aud
has low knee action. I tried to get father to get lips on him,
but he calls me a crank. I expect you know how that is

Where a horse has a foot that turns in a little should the
weight be put on at a or 6? in accord-ince with the diagram I
send.

I am onlv a i amateur handler, and any advice you can
give me will be fully appreciated. I roniain yonrs truly,

Charles I. Thomas.

Harrisburg, Fayette Co., Ind., Jan. 10th, 1S89.

The antipathy of blacksmiths to the making and properly
setting tips, has retarded; their use more than anything else#

The prevailing opinion among them is that should' they
come into general use, that it would materially decrease
their incomes from the most profitable part of their busi-
ness. This is an error on their part, as any man who gives
tbe subject any study will readily see that to take proper
care in making and setting them, is worthy of as high a
price as when full shoes are put on.

Double-gaited horses are ofteatimes quite troublesome,
whether wearing tips or shoes. We have one which has
bothered us for two years, and though I have not given up
hopes of correcting the evil, as yet we have not hit on the
right course. He was owned conjointly with a friend, and
last fall he lost all faith, and insisted that one should take
rhe "sole ownership," and on expressing a reluctance to
accept his altogether too liberal a proposition, replied,
"That he would have nothing more to do with him, aud if
I sent him to his farm, some sixty miles off, he would not
accept the proffer, and return him to the place from whence
he came forthwith."

The Blue Bull mentioned may have quittor, which will re.
quire a competent veterinarian to treat, as the description is
not clear euough to form an opinion. If it is a bruise, or a
partial separation of sole and wall, or suppurating corns, it
will be easier to cure. If our correspondent will send an
accurate description, we will consult Dr. Bowhill, and may
be enabled to give advice which will be of value. At all
events, we should recommend keeping him barefooted a.-
long as possible, and should his toes wear away so as to
cause soreness, put on a light tip.

The long-gaited horse, which hops on his hind leg, may hop
from scalping, or there may be lameness in the limb. A tip
beveled on toe and sides, and a good boot on hind feet may
correct the evil.

The query regarding where to place the toe-weight on the
pigeon-toed horse is difficult to answer. From the sketch
sent it might be dangerous to put a weight on the center of
the toe, in which case he would be likely to hit his knee or
arm, and if placed to one side of the center, should he be
"open-gaited," he might wound his hind legs. Some yearR
ago we made some experiments to test the effects of side
weights — shoes with one side heavier than the other, etc. —
but did not carry them far enough to come to a satisfactory
conclusion.

It is the fashion nowadays to call a person who is at all
enthusiastic on any subject a "crank," and if the appella-
tion deters anyone from pursuing a course which he feels to
be correct, he will have little force; "unstable as water, he
will not excel."

ROD.

Among the Redwoods.

CHAPTER X.

A MOUSING >'OT ALTOGETHKR IDEAL.

"Cummings," said Erl, bending her brows thoughtfully,
is not that the name of the gentleman, papa, who came here
last September after the weather had grown so warm and
the fishing so poor?"

It was early Wednesday morning, and the air came deeply
liden with odor of redwood, rose and honeysuckle, and the
strong, young sun looked ont clearly from the far east and
promised a fair day. The inmates of Myrtle Heights had
just finished breakfast, and were sitting on the front veran-
dah planning a day's Bport. Philip, through the combined
efforts of hoarhound tea and good nursing, had returned to
his usual condition of health, and was growing impatient to
render himself, like Dick, the hero of a tine oaten. Pisca-
torial honors are not heavy ones, they do nut wear the mind,
or impair the health, and tr* Dick they were so old a story
that he tossed them off lightly and gave all the time he could
spare from smoking to an attempted realization of the days
when Cammings would.exercise his downy wits on the prob-
lem of "taking" flies.

It was a little unlike Dick to mention nameB, and had he
for a moment suspected that Rachel's Brownie was known
here he would have exercised more caution; but the murder
was out now, and he listened attentively to Mr. Stl len, who
no sooner heard Erl's question than he smiled curiously, and
began examining the leaves of a Homer rose that thrust its
branches through the lattice work against which it was
tra;ned.

''£ think so," he answered slowly, "the one you mean with
whom I had such an argument about flies."

"Yes, papa," he was so sure the little ones were unless,
you remember,"

"Well, he knows," said Dick, stooping down to pet Nestor,
who was stretched out at Erl's feet. "Nothing cau bs valu-
able that does not bear the stamp of his approval. He is a
wonderful mau."

As usual it was difficult for any one but Phillip to detect
whether Dick was in earnest or jest, and he was too much
engrossed by something else to attempt either enquiry or
defence. This something was possessed of great tormenting
power, vanished illusively when asked to take shap-; or sub-
stance, and so magnified trifles tbat they shut out the world.
It made him annoyed at Dick for Ienniug over and petting
Erl's dog, it found matter for discontent in the fact th it they
became interested in a conversation over the strain of ulebian
blood that robbed the poor canine of his full right to the title
of St. Bernard, and, what to Philip was worse than all, it had
so gre it capability of arousing anger that he began to look
uopleasan', aud was not quite equal to assuming the grace
necessary for interest in Mr. Selden'a remarks on the peculi-
arities of the Cetonia family.

ErI. guided by a woman's quick intuition, or stirred by
somewhat the same uneasy feeling that moved him, detected
his trouble and asked if he intended fishing to-day.

"Yes," he replied, without meeting her glance, "that is, if
my going will not inconvenience any one else."

"Dear me!" came immediately from Dick, who made haste
to rise and walk away, 'Send cards the next time. I'm off
down the Lorenzo."

He lifted the rod from the rests he had made for it near
his room, examined it with a regard almost tender, smiled,
fastened on his rish basket, and came back to tell Mr. Selden
not to care anything about it if he should not return until
late.

"Won't you go with me, Miss Selden?" he asked, turning
Bnddenly to £rl, and ignoring Philip completely.

ErI, flushed by surprise or a deeper emotion, turned and
looked toward her father.

"You wish to go up, do yon not, papa?'' she asked.

"Yes, but it makes no real difference, lean as well go down
if you desire."

Just at this point Dick's face was a study. Vexation, doubt,
and fear were so markedly apparent, aud the attempt to con-
trol their outward expression so fierce that he looked bkean
artist's modtl of the mixed emotions.

Opon Erl it made exactly the right impression, and to the
astonishment of hsr Jaiher and the delight of Philip, she
burst into a merry laugh and said to Dick that she invariably
preferred the upper part of the stream.

'Til wager you catch the next fish, any how," he said,
smiling at her merriment, and adjnsting his trappings so he
could make his way comfortably thiough the back gate and
down the cow-trail.

It might very reasonably and naturally have occurred to
Mr. Selden that Dick, in trenting Philip so cavalierly, had
also placed him in rather an uncomfortable position, but it
did not. Instead he looked upon the whole matter as very
comfortably decided, and went to have a housekeeping con-
ference with Mrs. Morrison before making ready for the
day's absence.

The aspect of affairs was not quite so clear to Erl, who
lingered about the verandah pulling Nestor's ears, picking
up leaves and scraps of paper, and giving Philip no end of
opportunities to make some remark indicative of his frame
of mind. This was jast what he, poor fellow, was striving
to do, but being entirely convinced that he had made an un-
pardonable ninny of himself, could not think of a single
sensible word.

At length Eil, wbo had undeniable force and directness of
character, opened a way by repeating her question relative
to fishing, and asking if he would be pleased to go with her
and her father.

Philip's perversity tried to take instant flight, but the
feelings which influenced his speech would not down, and it
was impossible to resist saying again, "If I will not incon-
venience aDybody."

"But papii and I like to be inconvenienced," said Erl.
Sbe took one of Neslor'H ears in either band, and pushed her
face rlise against his cold nose. "Don't we, Nestor?"

Tragical contention, to be perfect, requires the proper op-
posing element, which, happily, in this case was lucking;
and as Philip had no mind to be a Jacques to his owu
aba low, he met her light mood, and went to prepare, hum-
ming a snatch of a song as he did bo.

sVhen fully equipped Erl looked much as she appealed

the first time he saw her, except that to-day her gown was

1 ink instead of blue cotton, and a less dilapidated bat kept

v le suq from her eyes. The query whether it wa« quite

roper to go about in rnbber boots, and a skirt considerably

eve the regulation length, albeit not very short, I am sorry

say never entered her mind. In so doing sbe was as un-
conscious of any sin against Focial regulations as the hardy
brake which thrust its fringes np among her choicest flowers
was ignorant of the harm done by its intrusion.

Mrs. Morrison might have set her right, but that good °nd
worthy member of sjoiety had long passed the time, if in-
deed she had ever kno.vn it, when the slender waist of a sis-
ter woman was to her mind indisputable evidence of frivo-
lous characteristics, and a prettily-turned ankle sure proof
of moral delinquencies. And did the thought ;occnr to her
as she watched the three go down the road, followed by
Nestor, that possibly Mrs. Tanner would make ill-Datured
remarks, and Mrs. Gilbert clasp her hands and roll her eyes
upward, she had no inclination to spoil any one's pleasure
for the sake of avoiding their interference.

"You'd walk on your head, with your heels in the air,
most o' the time, if you tried the gait everybody praised," she
said, sending the dust before her broom, and turning to
catch a glimpse of Rob, who was ;iust bringing Wolfgang
home after an hour's exercise. She had many happy hours
now tbat this unsteady boy was given over entirely to Mr
Selden'ri care, and tried conscientionsly to make him appre-
ciate the true kindness that had made him instrumental in
bringing about the change. "Though it's little use talkin'
to a child that's settled his mind to have the moon," she said,
by way of expressing her scant measure of success whenever
the subject was meutimed. Her work in this part of the
house was now completed, I ut she lingered a moment, broom
in hand, the wish, meanwhile, running through her mind
that he might not see Erl. As well hope the bee would not
scent the honeysuckle, or the wild bird spy ripe, red berries!

Rob was a living example of one of the most siognlar
things in the human cosmos. Weakin intellect, unformed in
character, without even physical attraction, he yet telt him-
self the superior of every man. and ouly on occasion when
proof too stubborn strong for any doubt overwhelmed his
self-conceit conld he believe that Erl did not care for him as
be cared for her. And this beliet was generally very short-
lived because he immediately drowned it in alcohol, and
came out ready to begin again.

It was due to such supreme confidence in self that the
sight of Eil going down the road between Philip and her
father did not seriously affect him, and his soliloquy was
characteristic:

"Them city fellers ain't no fishermen; she'll miss me
enough afore night, see if she don't," he taid, bidding Wolf-
gang go ou, and resting undisturbed in his supposed excel-
lence.

To pass a day now and then under a wrong impression of
this kind is not altogether a bad thing; we gain some hours
of happiness, at least, and an hour gone for one thing can
not go for another. Certainly it was very well for Rob tbat
he could not see Philip's first cast, which lured two trout
with sparkling sides and fins like soft silk.

,(I see you know all about it," said Mr. Selden enthusias-
tically. *'It makes me feel young again to watch you!
Come, my daughter, do not lose your opportunities."

But Erl hung back, and insisted on going further up the
stream by herself.

"I wish you would not," said Philip. He was Btandiug in
the water, and might have done for a picturesque Tuston of
the Middle Ages.

"Oh, but I must," she answered sweetly; "Did Mrs. Mor-
rison give you some sandwiches?"

Philip wanted to say no, but was not given to thestupidity
of telling fibs, so confessed reluctantly that she had, and
again asked Erl to stay.

She shook her head. Upon which Mr. Selden tried to
mate her see the advantages of companionship.

"Bnt I shall have yours, papa dearie, even if yoti are dig-
ging among the roots and ferns " She was beginning to get
impatient, ber nature being of the kind galled by restraint.

"Ah, but I must go to the hotel first and may be busy the
entire morning."

"Aud, papa, isn't Nestor with me?" Just meet me where
you said, and I shall do very well."

Both men saw the uselessness of further urging as she
began climbing np the bank on the opposite side of the
stream.

"You are truly going?" called Philip from below.

"Truly going," she replied. ( Come Nestor."

Nestor followed his mistress sedately, feeling, no doubt,
that much depended on his behavior, and even forbore
plunging into the water as he longed to do, or stopping to
gossip with the post-master's cur, who suddenly and dis-
courteously appeared on the scene.

Philip, left quite alone, did not fish so industriously as an
ardent angler should. Between each take were long dreamy
pauses which he tried to fancy spent on experiments with
flies and leaders, or in listening to a pair of finches who
seemed to shape their course by his; but which, deep down
in his consciousness, he knew were given to thonghts of
dark eyes aDd a smiling mouth. At times he would rouse
himself and fish with a steady deliberation that promised
death to every foolish trout within the radios of his energy;
then he would forget and idle again. So fur as his reputa-
tion for angling went, it was good that the trout were taking
well, else had his basket made a pitiful showing. As it was,
eleven o'clock found him without a half of the fish he Bhoold
have had, and so ambitiouless and strangely dull that he left
the stream, intent on rinding a comfortable place in the wood
where he might dream away the hour before noon.

Up, up he climbed among the underbrush and young red-
woods until he found a snug spot enclosed by waxen-leaved
madronos, and made secure by the luxuriant garlands of a
wild vine that stretched from tree to tree. The green leavts
and pink cups of the oxalis carpeted it, and looking up
Philip saw the clear bine of heaven bending like a friendly
face above him.

He rested his rod against a tree, took off his bisktt, and
threw himself down to enjoy the quiet hour as listlessly and
idly as he chose.

In ordinary life the most practical and business-like of
mortals, he now became posses ed of Eudden sympathy with
the romantic and the imaginative, and longed for power to
express what he felt. Every kind of impossible thought and
fancy stole into his brain, aud he seemed to have entered a
new world where all things were enveloped iu a haze of
tenderness. So complete was his aunender to the new
emotions, tbat Erl's sudden appearance in the leafy not k
occasioned not even a start of surprise. Bnt she, ou the
whole, less prepared for apparitions, particularly of so real a
character, gave a quick girlish serai in, that brought the
idler to his feet with a multitude of apologies.

"So yon found my bower?" she said, blushing all over her
smooth brown cheeks. "Papa and Nestor will have their
tramp for nothing. They went to find you. May I see yonr
basket?"

"After I have seen youis." His wits were blight enough
now, and so were his eyes, which looked steadily into hers,
h- h« put bis arm acrofs the basket, more in the hope that
she would try to draw it away than from any real desire to
hide his fish.

She did not, however, but turned and blew a sharp call on

the little hrrn that Philip had exhausted adjectives in ad-
; miring on the w*y down.

"He'gb, ho!" he Baid, not admiring it so much now, "are
I we to broil some trout for luncheon, or just subsist on sand-
wiches?"

"Sandwiches," Erl s-dd briefly, and then pursed up her
lips and asked him if the bower were not lovely.

"Quite, as befits its mistress," he answered gallantly,
"only I should enjoy it ever so much more if you would sit
down and tell me something about yourself. Are you satis-
fied with your morning's sport?"

As it happened, Erl was not at all satisfied, having worked
no more industriously than Philip, bnt this she could not
confess, so she took up her basket and opened it.

While examining its contents, they sat on the ground like
two children, their heads close together, and their attention
wholly given over to the fish.

"This is a good fellow," said Philip, lifting one up, "let us
count them."

"You count mine and I will count yours." said Erl quickly.
She went over and caught up his basket, and a conflict was-
imminent, when Mr. Selden and Nestor appeared.

"Ah, you ran to cover nicely," said Mr. Selden, putting
down his trowel and basket, aBd smiling at Philip. ''It
would seem an easy thing to get lost in these woods, but my
experience is the reverse. Are your sandwiches ready,
daughter," he asked, turning to Erl, who was busy undoing,
a bottle.

"They would be, if Mr. Wells would only tell me what he
has done with his. I am sure he has eaten them."

Her eyes were dancing as she turned them on Philip.

"Indeed I have not," he said, having an awkward way o£
mistaking jeet for earnest, and not daring to take too much
notice of the eyes. "Here they are."

He drew a small parcel from the pocket of his fishing coat,
and gave it into her hand.

"I heard you say you liked cold coffee on a fishiug trip, ro-
we brought a botila. " Her eyes were down-ast now, and
Rhe was wondering how she conld have said what she did
about the sandwiches.

"Give me a drop, too, daughter," said Mr. Selden, while-
Philip sat awaiting his turn, and thinking it was very
pleasant to have some one note his little fancies and indnlge
them. True, his mother had been doing nothing elte since
he was born, but this was something different.

A luncheon of sandwiches and coffee, even thoagh the
sandwiches ure of chicken and the coffee of the best, is quite
simple enough to go with Bylvan surroundings and a good
appetite, both of which the group in the bower enjoyed.
Nestor was, perhaps, the only one not entirely satisfied, for
which dissatisfaction he may be pardoned, since he was ac-
cuBtomed to something more substantial than chicken nones-
and bread. Furthermore he objected, and justly, to Philip's,
way of trying tn make him jump for tiny morsels, as though;
he were a petty trick dog, and finally showed his disapproval1,
of the whole affair by taking himself off to one side and'
lying down with his head en his outstretched paws.

Luncheon completed, Mr. Selden with the spirit of an old
sportsman, took a peep into the baskets, shook his finger at
Erl, and told Philip he had certainly played the part of
Antony in his fishing thus far, today.

Philip laughed and said if he remembered aright that
Cleopatra had excused Anthony, and bade him leave fishing
to the pretty prince of Pharos and Canopus because he was
angling for game of a larger kind.

"Oh, what a thing it must have been to be a man in those
days!' exclaimed Erl, her eyes flashing and her body straight-
ening to its full height

"Perhaps," Philip looked at her as she stood with her
hand among the leaves of the vine that hung above the
entrance to the bower, and becime meditative and somewhat
inclined to jealousv of the Roman generals which, seeing
they had long since mouldered into dust, was beyond per-
adventure unreasonable.

"I fancy," said Mr. Selden, looking down at the oxalis
leaves, "I fancy that speech of Cleopatra's wss only a sop to
Anthony — a kind of bonne louche to excite his good nature.
She knew how to manage him. Phetarch, yon remember,
tells us that she was not eo woudronely beautiful, but that
she had great cleverness and a fascinating manner. Shall we
smoke, Mr. Wells?"

Erl did not object, rather liked the odor of tobacco smoke,
she said in reply to Philip's questionings, so he lighted a
cigar and joined her father.

"It will be preferable for yon to keep close to ns this after-
noon, daughter," said Mr. Selden after he had smoked some
time in sileuce, "this part of tbe LoreDZO never had my lull
approval as a resort for yon."

Ee looked up dubiously as he finished, expecting an out-
break, but to his surprise Erl yielded qnietly, and an hoar
later fonnd her fiShing a pool above Philip, with Nestor
watching from the bank of the stream and Mr. Selden search-
ing for specimens among the damp recesses of the rocks.

Sax Francisco, Jan. 15, ?S9. Petronella.

Tbe Rainbow Trout.

"Pelrooella's" recent query as to how many varieties of
trout were found iu California should bring some of the
more observant of the local devotees of the rod to the front.
Some very interesting notes a' out one sort of trout quite
common in the Sierras are taken from Sports AJitUl. W. Old-
ham Chambers, F. S. L., says in the Journal of th6 Nationul
Fish Cultivation Associ»tion:

"Its nose is obtuse, its gill covers red, while along the
body is a red baud. The color of the buck is a brown; fins
are of au oianpe-piDk color. Tbe head and buck are marked
with small black spots of irregular shape, which extend to
the adipose and caudal fins. It is a deep, thick-set fish; but
at ihe same time tbe formation is well proportioned, and in
this respect it is supirior to the safflclinus fonlavalls. Tbe
dorsal fin is small, and the pectoral tin two-thirds the length
of the head. The posterior ed^e of tbe operculum or gill
cover is ronnded in form, and tb<> lower edee of the iuter«
operculum and sub-operculum forms a straight oblique line.
The tail, or caudal fin, is more forked than in the«a/tWmufl
fontanalis or common tront. 'The teeth are well defined, and
are placed in nine lines across the mouth, namely, one on
the vomer, two in tbe pnl tine bone, two on the superior
maxillary bones, two lines of incurved tee'h on the tongue,
and two ou the lower jaw. The lateral line runs :m a p'ane
slightly above the np^er portion of the eye. The fin-rays
are: dorsal, thirteen; pectoral, fourteen: ventral, nine; anal,
nine; caudal, twenty. The eye is one fifth the length of the
head, and pla°ed one and one-quarter its own diameter from
point of nose. Tbe lergth of bead ks compared to length of
body, head and tail, includ ng e-indal rays, is as one to rive
and a half. The 6sh now before me is eleven iuches long;
seven inches girth; weight, one and a half pounds; and
twenty months old."

The writer quoted arkls: Bat the most striking feature to
my mind is the smalluess of the mouth as compared with
the enormous cavity in the head of the eastern brook troat,
and this may have given rise to the name "small fly trout,"
■which it is sometimes called, from the fact that better success
io its c-ipture follows ihe use of a bmall fly. It is not "pro-
per form" to fish with anything but a fly for trout in this
country, or I would tell you what "bait" may be used with-
out any fear of failure as to getting a "bite," the information
having been conveyed to me as a secret. Of course no troat
fisher ever uses anything but the artificial fly when seeking
recreation; nor do I seriously recommend any one to resort
to grasshoppers, worms, grubs, horse-flies, caddis, helgram-
ites, or other natural food of the fish. But, at the same time,
there are occasions when the alternative being to go to bed
without tasting trout that day or to resort to the bait referred
to, and on such occasions I have sometimes given way to my
animal instincts ("professional etiquette" not beiDg strongly
enough seated in my poetio soul to restrain the deed), and
resorted to the "dead-sure" bait not mentioned here. I feel
sure that you would scratch out the name of the bait if in-
serted, apply to the writer some oppribrious epithet aud wish
he was at the bottom of the Falls of Minnehaha, or something
of that kind, so I decline to give the "pot-fisher" the benefit
of my knowledge in this respect. However, any gentleman
who does not want to become a fish-warden can make per-
sonal application and obtain the knowledge— providing he
will promise not to resort to the bait except in the alternate
emergency as suggested above.

The flesh of the "rainbow" oaptured in Platte is very
slightly tinged with orange, and in comparison with the east-
ern trout is of finer fibre, not so flaky, contains more oil,
and to my gastronomical taste is the better fish of the two
for the table— being not quite so good, however, as our native
trout.

I know but Utile about the spawning habits of the • 'rain-
bow, but know it is a spring spawoer, and should therefore
presume it well calculated to do well in the mountain streams.
Of very rapid growth, and as handsome as a picture, it is to
be hoped that more attention will be paid to its propagation
at the State Hatchery in the fnture than has been done in
the past. In confirmation of the statement regarding its
growth it may be said that the first batch of alevins were
placed in the Platte two years ago last August by General
Pierce, and last August I caught several weighing over a
pound and one that touched the notch at a little over two
pounds- It is extremely wary and difficult to lure; but some-
times the force and vigor displayed in seizing the fly is per-
fectly astounding to the angler, and its conduct after being
hooked is really frantic, and unless the angler is cool and
collected the chances are that the larger ones will break away
in one way or another.

Mr. Thos. H. Chubb, not to know of whom, argues abso-
lute lack of angling proclivities, is sending out a new cata-
logue, which is a gem, beside being a most useful publifation
to those who may ueed rods, reels, lines, flies or hooks, rod
holders, lauding nets, or anything else ever needed by the
most expert aud exactiug fisherman. The beautiful little
pamphlet can be had by applying to Mr. Chubb at Post Mills,
Vt. Mr. Chubb's wares have one merit which cannot but
recommend them; they are always precisely what they are
represented to be by the maker.

When we consider the variety and cost of the appliances
required in theBe spurts, the high degree of mechanical skill
involved in their construction, the extravagance so fre-
quently indulged in by the wealthy who can afford it, and
the outlays incurred by the poor, who cannot, and when we
remember tbat men will persistently violate laws, and risk
penalties and panishmerjts that they may shoot and fish, we
are forced to admit that they do it, not because of that con-
trollable impulse which we call desire, but because of an in-
stinct which is implanted in our nature — which is irresistible
and overwhelming.

But why the instinct?"

Mr. Joe Baesford. Jr. Writes:

absolutely necessary that the dues owing to the Club Bbnnld
ue collected. As a member of the Occidental Coursing Club
you ought to be proud of the Club's record and be willin
to respond to this call which so intimately concerns each and
all of us who is interested in the noble sport of coursing.

This appeal is made by order of the Executive Committee,
who hopo und feel it will be favorably received by you.''

TRAP.

"Why Do We Shoot?

"There's nothing more to guess," if the conundrum head
ing of this note is answered. A writer in enrrent Wildwood
Magazine, a journal delightful both in name aud in savor,
undertakes to answer the query, but does not reach an ulti-
mate. He says:

"The question is ofteD asked why does the civilized man
shoot? and why does he fish? And it is superficially and
flippantly answered by saying that the man has a desire to
shoot and fisn. But the answer is totally insufficient for the
earnest inquirer, inasmuch as it fails to explain the reason
for the desire. A child may cry for the moon, from Bimple
childishness and without reason. That is one thing. A nnn
may brave death, although with a desire to live. If so, he
has a reason. That is quite another thing.

When we analyze motives and sentiments, we find that
the civilized man of to-day doeB not shoot or fish because of
any single one of the motives or sentiments which are usually
ascribed for the act, nor indeed, is it exactly accurate to say
that it is invariably because of all or many of them com-
bined.

Let ub examine the causes whioh are the most often
assigned. Except as to the market purveyor, the cfvilized
man* does not shoot or fish for sustenance as the pioneers of
old did, and as the savage tribes continue to do. Even in
the early days of Greece and Rome, the sport of the chase
was a luxury, and not a necessity.

The man does not do it from love of the labor it entails,
for it caDnot be denied that shooting and fishing demand
constant exercise, much of it severe, and all of it fatiguing.
And it must be confessed that many men, who are industri-
ous and unremitting in the field, are incorrigibly lazy other-
wise and elsewhere.

He does not do it for the sake alone of the beauties of
Nature, for manv ardent sportsmen are wholly indifferent to
the charms of Nature. He does not do it for mere display
of skill, for large numbers of those who are most enthusiastic
have but little skill, and a considerable proportion have no
skill at all.

Neither does he Bhoot or nsh with a view to economy, be-
cause at the best shooting and fishing are expensive recrea-
tions. He does not do it solely as conducive to health, for
the majority of sportsmen are athletes in fnll possession of
physical vigor. Nor yet does he do it actuated alone by the
love of victory in an equal contest with a wary foe. Be-
cause, how often is it that there is no oontest, and the quarry
is unsuspecting and unresisting. He does not do it for the
sake of companionship in the field, because cot infrequently
the best sportsmen refuse all company. Nor yet, again, only
for rest from the cares of business, or relief from toil, inas-
much as there are many who have no cares of business, and
as many more who do not toil, either mentally or physically.
Why, then, is it?

It is difficult to define the feeling which in each particular
individual begets the desire. We can only look for the mo-
tive or a sentiment which is applicable, as a general state-
ment, "to all. It cannot be, as it has often been asserted
tbat it is, a remnant of savagery cropping out through our
civilization, for the sportsman is uniformly humane and ten-
der and averse to al! cruelty or wanton destruction. And
again, it cannot be true, because— and it is at leaBt a re-
markable fact— among all nations the desire prevails, and the
higher the refinement the more universal the desire is.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Too wet to ^hoot
quail! Bain, rain, rain all the time! We uns in the country
tired of sitting around the house! Roads too bad to drive
anywhere! l)isgusted with myself and everybody else, I
sent my nephew to bring over the little Beagles. Well, the
next day here he come* on the old black mare. Strapped on
the pommel of his paddle was a horn as long as my arm.
Behind the old mare's heels was the prettiest lot of little dogs
I ever saw. Well, there were only twelve of them. I
wanted George to stop with me, but no, he wauted to go up
aod stop with grandpa.

I said, "The old gentleman will go wild to see all those
dogs coming to his house." But he would go and go he did,
saying be would meet me at 9 a. m next day on the hills.

Well, I wa^ out there, and after waiting a little while I
heard the horu tcot, and in a few moments I heard these
little dogs. Well, there was music in the air, and soon I saw
coming my way an old jack rabbit and about 150 yards be-
hind, coming a* fast as their lit:le legs could carry them,
were Dukey, Dumpy, Dolly, and all the puppies whise
names I never heard. Well, to see those little dogs work
made me langh. The old jack rabbit passed within thirty
feet of me, and George and Abe, both boys ahout sixteen
years of age, were hollering, "Shoot him, Joe," "Right by
you," "Don't you see him?" "What's the matter with you ?"
Abe says, "Joe had better go down to the house and take a
nap; and not go to sleep up here on the hill, and let a hare
run right over him."

But Joe was not asleep. He was quietly enjoying this
little scene going on around him. On went the rabbit and
on went the Beagle?, and I never raised my gun.

Ah! They have lost the trackl Well, just Bee those little
devils separate and circle to find that track; and you talk
about" tail action! Well, if you have ever seen a hungry
lamb sucking, it would have reminded you of the tail aotion
of the Btagle when he has lost the track.

Soon old Duke's voice is heard, and signifies he has found

it. All the rest go to him as fast ns BeagleB can go, and

almost with one accord the whole pack are in full cry.

Pretty soon "Bang!" goes an old shot gun, and I hear

George say, <LI got one anyhow, if Joe is asleep."

For a few momenta all is quiet. Then here they come
again with a fresh rabbit. He comes my way. He Ftops
about twenty yards from me. I raise a thirty-two Win-
chester, and accidentally kill this one. Well, I sit still, and
soon each little Beagle rushes up in full cry, finds the rabbit,
takes a bite at him, satisfies bin self that the rabbit Is dead,
and away they all go to find a new rabbit. I sat -there on
that old stump and killed seven rabbits, and I enjoyed
shooting rabbits with the Beagles immensely.

And I would advise you one and all, when you get the
blueB, when business gets monotonous, when you get tired
uf doing nothing, when you do not know what to do with
yourself, etc., etc , etc , I would advise yon to get a pack of
those beautiful little beagles, and go shooting rabbits, and
after a day of such sport you will find yourself a new man.
I suppose a great many people on this coast do not know
what the true Beagle ib. If a miniature fox hound can be
imagined, the picture will serve pretty well for a Beagle.
The does weigh from twelve to thirty pounds, and stand
from ten to sixteen inches high. They are fine-coated,
handsome little fellows, bright-oyed, keen, watchful, with
fine noses, and voices th^t are very loud and musical. They
eat but little, are not prone to disease, breed freely, and all
in all are well entitled to more general recognition than has
hitherto been accorded to them.

Some months ago Mr. H. W. M. Sandbach initiated a
Beagle Club movement, and another was begun by Mr. San-
ford Bennett, bnt both schemes seem to have gone by default.
If more people could pass au hour in the field with the little
Beagles, there would be no difficulty in organizing a club,
and the rarest sport wonld reward the members. If any
wandering sportsman happens near my place, I extend an
invitation to come in and sit down with me while the
beaeleB drive rabbits our way.

Would like to hear from some of the Beagle men through
the paper. J. M. Bassfoed, Jr.

Vacaville, Jan. 9, 1889.

Mr. E. F. Preston. San Francisco, has lost by death an
Englisli setter, bitch by Ajax— Dot.

Mr. Henry May, San Francisco, has lost by death, cause, a
gunshot wound inflicted by a malicious scoundrel, the
English setter Ajax by Calendar — Rose.

Mr. Henry May recently placed his important EugHsh set-
ters Ajax and Dot in the hands of Mr. Walters, at Gait, Sac-
ramento County, for breaking. Mr. Walters left them there
in charge of his wife, when he went to Bakersfield to train
his field trial dogs. The other day some cruel wretch, in
wantonness, shot Ajax, filling the poor beast with Bmall shot
and causing his death. The dog was kind, aud in the habit
of staying about home, so that the criminal can have uo ade-
quate defense. When Mr. Walters returns he will prosecute
the shooter, and we hope will succeed in haviDg a heavy
penalty put upon him. It is bad enough to wantonly kill
any animal, bnt when the victim is a gentle, intelligent, use-
ful and valuable servant, su<;h as a fine setter is, the offeDce
becomes raok.

Writing of the derivation of the word greyhound, Dr. J.
H. Walsh said: Various explanations have been offered of
the etymology of the prefix grey, some contending that the
color is implied, others tbat it meaDs Greek {Grains), while a
third party understands it to mean great. But as there is a
remarkable peculiarity in this breed cor-nected with it, we
need not, I think, go farther for the derivation. No other
breed, I believe, has the blue and grey color prevalent; and
those which possess it at all bav it mixed with white, or other
color; as, for instance, the blue-mottled barrier, and Ihe
blotched blue and brown Been in some other kiDds. The
greyhound, on the contrary, has the pore or iron grey color
very commonly; aud although this shade is not admired hy
any lovers of the animal for its beauty, it will make its ap-
pearance occasionally. Hence it may fairly be considered a
peculiarity of the breed, and this grey color may, therefore,
with a fair show of probability, have given the name to the
greyhound.

Enelish Sires.

The London Sporting Life givos the following list of sins
whose get have wen upward of 4,000 guineas during the sea-
son of 1888. Although most of the fashionable aires have
maintained their supremacy, the three leaders are, strange
to say, indebted to a single horse for their forward positions,
viz: Galopin to Donovan, Isonomy to Seabreeze, Bend Or to
Orbit. Judging by the returns of the past twenty years, and
in spite of the increased value of stakes, there appears to be
little prospect for some time of Stockwell's 1866 record of
£61,000 being cut, the nearest approach to this extraordinary
success being made by Hermit in 1S86 with £44,600, bat
Hermit's grand total is by far the best, amounting to over
£200,000 during the patt seven yearB:

To Occidental Coursing Club Members.

For originality, briskness, pointedness, and general unique-
ness, we place the following circular addressed by Seorelary
J. B. Lincoln, to the delinquent members of the Occidental
Coursing Club. It should revive interest and bring in dues
immediately. The Secretary says:

"The Club desires to call your attention to the fact that
your dues to the Club are unpaid, and that it is particularly
desired that yon should pay the same without unnecessary
delay or inform either tbe Secretary or Treasurtr that you
no longer desire to call yourself a member of the Club. We
are doing good work in our especial Held, and have a gentle-
manly clean club to be proud of, but the good work of eleva-
ting coursing to its proper held, oan be maintained and
pushed on only by tbe assistance of each and eyery member.
It is earnestly hoped you will respond to this call in either
ore way or tbe other— by paying your dues promptly, or sig-
nifying your indispoBilion to consider yourself longer a mem-
ber, as the Club cannot carry a lot of dead wood while there
is work for each and every one of us to do.

Our next coursing meeting to be held on February 22, 1889,
we desire to make a ijreal success, and to do this, and to bub-
taln the reputation we have already made for ourselveB, it is

That Will

At last there seems to be a possibility that the much dis-
cussed question as to whether the Monmouth Park Associa-
tion would purchase the Castler farm and build a new track
on it or whether some site neBi' New York City would be
selected, will be finally settled in a few days, says the Sport-
ing World. It iB not general talk here, because it has not
been made public yet; but one or two people who are in a
position to know the facts say that while the actual purchase
of the necessary land has not been made, it will be aB soon
as certain minor matters are arranged.

It is proposed to make the new track entirely different from
any ever seen in this country before, and it will be built on a
scale that for grandness and completeness will eclipse any-
thing of the kind ever before attempted. It will be a mile
and three furlongs straightaway, and will extend from Little
Silver to Eatontown. With a good pair of glasses the entire
course will be in plai-i view from start to finish. The grand-
stand will be the very best that money and skill can erect,
and the Btables and everything else about the new grounds
will be on the same elaborate scale.

CharleB Durfee has decided to sell Del Snr. the well-known
stallion, at public auction in New York city, says tbe Los

CATTLE.

Utilizing the Buffalo.

It has long been known that buffalo meat commands a
remarkable nigh, price, more than double that of other beef,
yet the poeple of the west permitted this, the most useful of
all wild animals, to become extinct. The American buffalo
or bison, Bos Americanus, worthily regarded as the "boss"
quadruped of the western continent, which less then a quar-
ter of a centnry ago could be found roaming over the great
central plateau in countless thousands, is to-day on the verge
of extinction, says Hoof and Horn. The few that are sup-
posed to be preserved in the National Park at the sources of
the Yellowstone are being stealthily shot down by poachers
on that preserve, and the very sight anywhere els* of a wild
buffalo is promptly recorded in the newspapers. Now that
the wild buffalo is nearly gone, a keen interest ie felt every-
where in its possible domestication and reproduction, either
pure or crossed with the common cow.

C- J. Jones, known as "Buffalo Jones" of Kansns, has lately,
with characteristic American enterprise, gone eagerly into the
collection and crossing of buff does, and has met with grati-
fying sucoess. He has a herd of wild, captured buffaloes
and is breeding them to one hundred cows.

But the oldest and most successful demonstration of the
possibility of domesticating the buffalo has been furnished by
S. L. Bedson, the warden of Stony Mountain penitentiary,
twelve miles northwest of Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba
Stony Mountain is a circular limestone elevation ahout 100
feet above the surrounding grassy prairie, en whi- h stands
the penitentiary, anu where in the dead of winler the herd is
collected and supplied with prairie hay. At any season they
are quitter than the average of range tattle, but a haystuck
is a great help to this civilization, and they spend a good
deal of their time in its vicinity, leisurely regarding the'r
human viators much the same as other winter fed stock
would.

They seem to appreciate the blessings of farm life, when
they come in the form of fool and Bhelter. But they are
what a Scotchman would call "kittle cattle,1' and a single
stroke of the horn has been known to rip up a horse ridden
incautiously too near tbem. An old buffalo cow has an evil
eye at anytime, and in the breeding season, whtn they retire
from the open plain around the penitentiary to the poplar
bosh at the northeast they have a very uncanny lopk which
does not bear false witness aganist them. Precedence aujorg

the maleB is gain' d by pitched battle, but outside the
breeding season they are usually on friendly terms and three
or four old toughs, and sometimes a solitray one, will stroll
away for weeks, paying little heed to the fences of settlers.

The advantages and pecuniary profit probable to the do-
mebtication and crossing of the buffalo are very great. A
cross with the Galloway will make a very fine robe, and the
value of cross-bred robes is quite as high as those fiom the
pure buffalo. A huge cross-bred was slaughtered last Christ-
mas that dressed 1200 pounds, and the robe was worth over
thirty dollars. As a fancy article a buffalo head is worth
fifty dollars. The meat is more than that from a common
ox, and although when the "old Adam" asserts itself and one
or two get out on a *'picnic" they are not very heartily
welcomed by the settlers, th«ir unborn propensity to rove
will become toned down, and give little trouble. They and
their crosses are equally bar 'y and p ty little attention to tbe
spells of forty-hve degrees below zero that visit us ouce or
twice in a year.

Petaluma Holsteins.

Holstein Herd-book) was calved March 27, 1883, and was
bred by P. Koppes, Haarlenimermeer, North Holland. Her
sire was Bismarck, and her Ham Wietske. Annemie made a
record of 50 pounds of milk in a day when a two-year-old.
Mr. "White has had his attention so much engaged in other
interests that he has not secured milk records of his cows
for a long period, but he is confident that his animals are
doing their duty as representatives ot a famous deep-milking
breed.

CANOEING.

Oakland Canoe Club-

Mr. White's Holstein cattle have won wide fame by their
presence at the District and State fairB, and are often de-
scribed by expert beholders, taking into account both the
quality of the animal aud the evident intelligent care which
they have enjoyed, as the cleanest, neatest lot of Holsteins
to be set-n anywhere, Bays the Petaluma Argus. Tbey are
certainly a credit to the State and their owner. Mr. White's
original stock were selected in Noith Holland by Theodore
Koch, from such noted sources as tbe Jacobus, Leegwater,
Pieter and Simon herds. Tbe shipment fo this country was
made in lSSi, and Mr. White made his selection while the
importation was in quarantine in New York. The bull Oro
Blanco was calved March i.3. 1SS5, and was bred by C. Roe,
Haarlemmermeer, North Holland. His sire was Pieter (209
North Holland Herd-book), and his dam Ontong (No. 8.032
Holstein Herd-book). He now Btands at the head of Mr.
White's herd, and has made a long record as a prize winner
during his short career in this State. The lieutenant of
Oro Blanc ) in the herd is Hnachuca, a two-year-old of good
achievement and promise. Also may be seen three repre-
sentative cuws from Mr. White's herd. Winfiidala (No.
S.042 Holstein Herd-book) was cilved March 23, 1SS3, and
was bred by J. Hannema, Hnins, Frietland. Her sire was
Al'red II. and her dam Wietske. As a two-year-old, Win-
fridala gave 52 pounds of milk a day. Annemie (No. 8,026

There was tbe best breeze the canoeists have had for three-
months last Sunday, and a large fleet waB afloat. There is.
great enthusiasm about next Sunday's badge race, and sev-
eral new rigs were being tried. Mystic appeared with a new
racing mainsail, or rather the old one altered and improved,
being now more of a genuine Moliican Bettee than a lateen,,
it sits like a board and ib very handsome. Conchita hoisted
Flirt's big sail, and sailed well. Frolic's larger mainsail
beiug under repairs, she was not under her cruising rig. but
thid did not prevent her maintaining her supremacy. About
11 o'clock there was a beautiful breeze, and Conchita,
Frolic, Mystic and Gypsy ran down to the far end of the
basin, and then started for a BCiub race home. In a few
minutes Frolic took the lead, closely followed by Gypsy.
Mystic got a chance by a change of wind later, and was
really ahead for a short time. Frolic and Gypsy had a pretty
race all the way up, the former winning by about three min-
utes. She also won another race sailed in the afternoon,
Mystic second.

The annual meeting takes place next Saturday evening at
the club house, when the last year's doings will be canvassed,
officers elected, and general business goue into. There is a
fair prospect of several new canoes being imported from the
EaBt during this year, which will rueke the competition all

the more lively.

In an advertisement on this page will be found an an-
nouncement from a Russian gentleman, who is desirous of
breaking horses in the Btyle now so much in vogue in that
far-off land, "Troikas" is three horses abreast, the middle
one being a trotter, while the two outsiders are runners.
Some one of California's prominent breeders may desire to
secure the services of a good, useful man.

Thoroughbred Stallion

RATHBONE.

Bred at the Palo Alio Stud— F. alert March.
13. 1884.

RATHRONE IS A VERY HANDSOME SHADE
of brown, the only white a small star in forehead.
He is of almost unexceptionable form. 15 hands 3
inches in height, of immense power and substance, and
also of the highest quality.

He was never in "order" to run, and vet he has
shown well, better by far than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.

March 11, 1386, on. the Bay District course, car-
rying 5 pounds over-weieht (115 lbs.) he defeated,
in a stake for two-year-aids, Voltigeur, C. H. Todd,
Notidle and Leap Year, the h If mile being run in 49&
seconds. He has shown quarters in 23 SHo.nds.and is
bo stoutly bred that he could hardly fail to go a dis-
tance ut a liigh rate of speed.

His blood lines could not be improved. His sire,
Young Prince, is the only stallion that lean recall
imported from England to the United .states with near
strains of Stockwell and King Tom blood, these noted
horses being the paternal ami maternal graudsires of
Young Prince. Thefamilv ot his dam, Lady Amanda,
ranks high among Ihe noted clans of America. Mai-
colm, Regent. Ontario, McWhirter, Lady Middle ton,
etc. The following is a tabulated pedigree :

ANTEV0L0,

THIS CELEBRATED TROTTING STALLION "WILL
make the eDSuing season from February 15th to
June 15th, 1889, at 2,111 Adellue street, Oak-
land.

Terras.

One hundred dollars the season for mares engaged
before May 1st, and oi.e hundred and fiity dollars the
season a. ter that date. The object ot this is to shorten
the time in the stud so as to give a betteropportunity
for training before the Fall Uircuit commences. Last
year it WdS the Hist of August before he was through,
and consequently he could not be got into condition in
time even for the tate Fair, in this connection it
will be well to state >hat there in no deviation from
the price, and emphatically no free Hat, The terms
are certainly low tor a horse of the class of Antevolo,
and there were sev.ra.1 applications where the appli-
cants expected an increase of price.
Form and t;olor.

It is rare to find a horse of such high form, and I am
not alone in considering him as being as nearly per-
fect a type of equine form as was ever Been in a trot-
tiug-breu stallion. He is sixteen hards and half an
inc.i in height, tit) inches lrom point of shoulder to
point of buttock, aud weighs, in ordinary condition,
l,I50pounds. He is very muscular, limbs as good as
tue most critical could desire, and as highly finish en
as a great majority of thoroughbreds, lncolor hois
a rich seal brown, with lighter shading in flanks and
muzzle, black legs, mane and tail, small .star in fore-
head and jff i*in i pastern white.

Pi'rionnaiKt'H.

He has been eminently of the improving kind. As
a yearling he trotted in 3:. 2; two-year-old in 2:41; three
years old in 2:29Jif; four years old in 2:iy}«j, the fastest
record for a stallion of that age up to that lime,
and in his five-year old form he trotted in from
■i:\ZM to 2:17 in all of the four heats of the big
trot n-hich Harry Wilkes won. As he only made
one break in tin's race, notwithstanding the great
speed of the contestants, he must be credited aa
remarkably "steady," almost phenomenally bo for
a horse of his. age. Had it not been for an acci-
dent which temporarily disabled him, it can be stated
with confluence that he would have trotted in 2:15or
better while he still ranked as a five-year-oil.

In 1887 an injuiy to his left hind leg, first hurt
when a two-year old, incapacitated him from trotting.
That injury was below the «nkle, and last year when
apparently entirely recovered from that, and when he
gave promise of doing better than ever before, owing
to the track being narrowed very deeply he sprained
the suspensory ligament, so that it was slightly bowed
about midway between ankle and hock, ibis wusou
the 21st of August, and he was walked and jogged, at
times being quite lame, unt 1 September lt)th, when
after short brushes, he was, on the 2.nd given two eaav
heats in 2;<!8 and 2:25, "worked out" twice a week, giv.
ing two heats at each working in time ranging from
2:17 to 2:23. 0"the6lh of October I gave him three
heats in 2:28, 2:19, 2:17 (several watches made it 2:l62i)
the last half 1 :\)7y., and going so easily that I felt sure
he could trot several seconds faster.

Alttiough I worked him carefully, it was obligatory
that he should hut'e some fast work to trot on the- Oth,
an i on the following Saturday I gave him 'hree h -ats,
in2:24,2:18,2:ljji,and the next Tuesday !"-:2ti,2;l9, 2:22.
He did not show as well in that as before, and though
he made a good showii.g in toe National, a wonderful
exhibition after the drawbacks, and also his first race
ftr n arlv twoyears. hj was evide tly "not at him-
self." I have so ranch confidence in his speed and
endurance that I will name him again in the National
if it is gotten up, and will rn*tch uny Btallion heatB of
two miles for one or two thousand dollars a Bide to
trot in October or November next, and take the
chances of his leg standing.

Progeny,

He has only four colts, which were foaled in 1886,
Or. Liliencraiitz has two fillies on his ranch at Aptos,
D. T. Sexton ot San Francisco has a filly, and c R.
Lewis a colt. It was the inteniimto train the colt,
but having hint his fore leg when a yearling he had to
be thrown out. He is quite promising, and though
Sunol and other cracks remdn in, thiru payment was
made on him in the Stanford Stakes and Occident
Stakes. There are quite a number of foals of lt87,
several ot which have been broken lately, and every
one gives good promise of trotting fast. There are
also a number of foals of )&88,and,in my estimation,
for form, size, and beauty they cannot be eTcelled by
the get of a-'y trotti. g stallion. That others share in
tbia opinion is evidentf rom the following quotation;
"R.E. Bybee says J. B. Haggin has got a last spriog
colt by Antevolo. son of -Election- er, dam Alabel,
sister of Beautiful Bells. th*tis as much superior to
other coltn as the Jersey L ly is to a Umatilla reserva-
tion squaw. "-Rural bPiitlT, Ron lana. Oregon,

Ne.rly everyone who owns an Antevolo colt thinks
that be has the best, which is a token of their uni-
form ity.

Pedigree.
The most exacting critic, if moderately intelligent,
cannot find fault with his blood lines. His sireElec-
tioneer is, beyond question, the greatest trotting pire
of any age when all things are considered. Xls dam
Columbine is the only inure which has two entire sons
which have beat*5n2:2u. 2:lfiji py a six year-old, 2:19J5
by a four-year-old. Antevolo st-iiu's in the same rela-
tion to the thoroughbred as Maud a, Jay-Kye-See,
Sunol; Nutwood and many others of first celebrity.

Continued.
That it is a very impertinent error, and of great preju-
dice, TO THINK THE MASNAGE USELESS.

MaDy say, that all things in the mannage is nothing bat
tricks, and dancing, and gamoalls, and of no use; but by
their leave, "whosoever sayes bo, is very much deceived: for a
horse that is well settled upon the hand, and. h'rm and obe-
dient to the hand and keels, gallops the field, and changes as
often, and just as you will, either without the cirole, or
within the circle. Sarpiger, Terra a Terra, the Piroite or
what you will: and all is this upon the ground, and every-
thing and particle of it useful; and so useful, that a good
horse-man, upon soch a horse, would have too much ad-
vantage, in conscience, of him that talks against it, either in
a single combat or in the wars; for a ready-horse will run,
Btop, turn, go back; and if he rise, he knowB how to come
down again, and is so well on the hand, as yon cannot pull
him over with, both your hands; and so obedient, that I will
run him on Hre, water, or sword, and he shall obey me: and
all this cannot be done but by the art of riding, and that in
the Mannage.

But, what makes these men speak against it? The first
reason is, because they are ignorant, and so speak, as the
■wisest men in the world must do, when they will speak of
anything ihey know not, and think that talk will carry it:
But tLe main reason is this; They rind they canDot ride well;
nay, indeed not at all, a horse of Mannage, and they would
be the tinest men in the world, for all things, though they
will take pains for nothing; and because, forsooth, they can-
not ride by inspiration without taking pains, therefore it is
worth nothing, and of no use: But if everything was naught,
that they caDnoc do, there would be very few things good in
the world.

The next thing, is, that they Ihink it a disgrace for a gen-
tlemen to do anything well. What! be a rider. Why not?

Many kings and princes think themselves graced with being
good horse-men.

Our gracious and most excellent king, is not only the
handsomest, and most comely hurse-man in the world, but
as knowing and understanding in the art as any man; and
no man makes a horse go better than I have seen some go
under his majesty the first time that ever he came upon
their backs, which is the heigth and quintescence of the art;
and yet I dare say the king takes it ior no disgrace to be so
excellent a horae-man. The Dukr) of York is also a very good
horse-man, and both take it lor an honor, and no disgrace;
and think it a moat useful and noble quality for Princes.

The Drake of Mommorancy, Conestable of France, and the
first gentlemen of Christendom, was the best horse-man in
the world, and to this day the best branches for bits was of
his invention called A. La Conestable; and so he devised the
best spurs: and never any Esquier rid like him, being cer-
tainly the best horse-man in the world, which he thought a
grace to him: The Prince of Conde, his grandchild by the
Princess his mother, is a excellent horse-man, and thinks it
no disgrace to him.

Most of the princes in France highly esteem if, and are
good hor*e men ; nay, their King, at this present time,
highly esteems if, and is a good horse-man: nor is any gen-
tleman in France esteemed that is not a good horse-man.

The great King of Spain deceased, did not only love it,
and understand it. but was absolntely the best horse-ma^ in
all Spain.

I may therefore desire these men to be more merciful, and
to think it no disgrace, to them, to be horse-men; but still
the old business will stick with them, which is, they cannot
do it, and therefore it is naught: a vtry good and senseless
reason! He that will take piins for nothing, shall never do
anything well; for artB, sciences and good qualities, come not
by instinct, but are got by great labor, study, and practice;
wheiefore these men will none (I thank you) till they be as
easily learnt, as the seven deadly sins, railing and wearing
line clothes and feathers.

But let us see now, now these men are on horse-back, and
what their horses do under them.

This cavalier seats as far back in the saddle as he can, his
legs stretch as far forward before the shoulders of the horse,
with his toes out, that he may spur him in the shoulders;
and stoops in the back, which they call a comely seat; not
knowing how to hold the bridle in his baud, nor guess at any
helps at all; and appears on horse-back, as if he were three
quaters Fuxt, so ridiculous is that sea' : and having sent to a
saddler, or a bitt-maker, to bitt bis horse, all is well.

Being mounted thus, as I tell you, yon shall see his ready
horse of use, and his horse-manBhip. When he would turn
him on the right hand, the horse doth turn on the left; and
when he would turn him on the left hand, the horse doth
turn on the right. When he would stop him, the horse runs
away. When he would put him forward, the horse runs
backward. When he would put him back, the horse rises, and
comeB over with him, and there the good horse-man lies, and
must send for a surgeon, or a bone-setter, if he be not killed:
nay, his horse shall neither come near drnm, trumpet or
colours, pistol, or sword; but he fetches forty figaries to en-
danger him and his horse: And this is the excellent horse,
man, and the ready horse of use. How is it possible to be
otherwise, when the horse knows Lot how to obey either
hand or heel, and the horse-man is as ignorant as he?

Whence it follows that there is nothing to make a sure
horse, but the mannage.

I would have every horse (that wears a bit) gelding or nag,
wrought in the Mannage, to be firm on the hand, both for
readiness, and safety, were it for a B. B, judge or lady; for
without settling of the hand, they are very unuseful, and
dangerous.

I wonder how men are so presumptions to think they can
ride as horsemen, because they can ride forward from Barnet
to London, which everybody can do; and I have seen women
to ride astride as well aB they:

They do not think of any art, or trade, as they do of horse-
manship, where they are all masters; which doth not prove
so when they ride.

I think I have proved sufficiently their error, and ignor-
ance; and as fully proved, that there is no useful horse but
those that are made in the Mannage.

The next thing is, to tell you, that corvets and other Ayres
settles a horse very well upon the hand; makes him light be-
fore, and puts him upon the hanches, which are all useful for
a soldier's horse; and makes him stop upon the hanches,
which is very useful for a man in arms; for, did the horse
atop upon the shoulders, he would give his rider (being
armed) such a shock as would make his bones ache, was he
never so sound: Nay, to make a horse go in leaps, firm him
on tho hand, which is good for a soldier's horse.

But, says a gallant, when I should have use of him in the
field, then Le will be playing tricks:

That gallant is deceived; for the helps to make horses go in
ayres, and to make them go upon the ground, are several;
and good horse-men have much ado to make them go in ayres,
with their best helps; so that, if you let them alone, they will
not trouble you; besides, two or three days march will make
them, that they will not go in ayres, if you would have them;
and they are much the readier to go on the ground: Where-
by you see that there is no horse whatsoever can be a good
and useful horse, in any kind, with a bit, but what is wrought
in the Mannage;

And therefore I advise you, for your safety and use, to ride
all horses in the Mannage, and yon will find it very true, that
there can be no horse else safe and useful; nor can any horBe
go well in a Bnaffle, except he be formerly rid with a bit. As
for pleasure and state, what prince or monarch looks more
princely, or more enthroned, than upon a beautiful horse,
with rich foot-clothes or rich saddleB; and waving plumes,
making his entry through great cities, to amaze the people
with pleasure and delight?

Or, what more glorious or manly, than, at great marriages
of Princes, to run at the ring, or tilt or course at the field?
What can be more comely or pleasing, than to see horses go
in all their several ayres? and to see so excellent a creature,
with so much spirit, and strength, to be so obedient to his
rider, as if haviug no will but his, they had but one body,
and one mind, like a centaur? But above all, what sets off a
King more, than to be on a beautiful horse at the head of his
army ?

Thus it is proved, that there is nothing of more use than a
horse of Mannage: nor anything of more state, manliness, or
pleasure, than riding; and as it is the noblest, so it is the
healthfullest exercise in the world. In hunting, hawking,
bowling, shooting, cocking, cards and dice, and many such
things, there is no use at all, but merely pleasure:

But in a horse of mannage, both use and pleasure. It is
true that if there waB nothing commendable but what is
useful. Btrictly examined; we must have nothing but hollow
trees for our houses, fig-leaf-breeches for our clothes, acorns
for our meats, and water for our drinks; for certainly, most
things else are but superfluities and curiosities.

I find fault with no man's delight", and do only vindicate
(with truth) my own, since I have been so pressed to it with
odd discourses, but I leave every one to his own ways, and
his own delights, desiring they will do the like by me, which
I shall take for a great favor: But if it chances they will not
be so gracious, and just to me, it will grieve me so extremely,
that, in my conscience, I shall sleep never the worse.

That a Good Horse-man may be Thrown-Down Off his
Horse, without Disparagement to Horse-man-ship, con-
trary to Ike Vulgar Errour.

Most People are very much Deeeiv'd, when, if a Horse
throws Down his Mider, they not only Laugh at Him, but
think to have Reason so to do; Saying of the Best Horse-
man in the World, to whom such a Mischance should happen,
That he is a Fine Horseman indeed! For they can Swear,
that they knew a Horse Threw him. But they must Learn,
That a Good Horse-man may be Thrown Down sooner than
111 ones; because Good Horse-men little think of Sitting, and
so may be Surprised, their Thoughts being all how to make
their Horses go Well, and never doubt Throwing; whereas an

General Toplca.

Daring the late war, and especially in 1S63 and 1864, St.
Louis was as lively a city as there was on the Continent, if
not the very liveliest. There was not another city which I
visited where money was so plenty in the hands of men who
believed that the bhief end of life was to crowd as muoh ex-
citement into every twenty-fonr hours as it waB possible to
accomplish. The ''California party" had full control of
governmental expenditure. Fremont, Blair, Charley El-
leard and others, who were residents of San Franoisoo "early
in the fifties," were the big contractors, and from them there
was a regular down grade, the lowest level of which were
stable boys, who had saved enough of their wages, or who
had friends willing to advance the necessary sum which
would enable them to go into the country, pick up a cavalry
horse or two, when, if they were on the right side of the in-
spectors, they would double their money. I was informed
at the time that Blair, Elleard and Company got the contract
to supply Fremont's army with beef at sis cents per pound,
and sub-let it for just one-half. Three cents en each pound
of beef consumed by a large army was rolling out the cash
in a stream of greenbacks, and that was only one of the con-
tracts obtained. One I was personally acquainted with. In
Moy. 1864, there was a race meeting to come off on the
Abbey track. Inside of the race-course the ground had
been sown to rye the fall before, and it had grown to such a
height that, apart from being trampled upon, it obstructed
the view of the races. The government corral was not far
away, and Elleard made an agreement to take the rye
when it was out down. The estimate was that it would
yield three tons of dried fodder to the acre, and as the gov-
ernment was paying thirty dollars a ton for hay, Elleard was
to receive ninety dollars per acre, when all that he was re-
quired to do was to put mowing maohines to work, the men
from the corral gathering it from where it laid, pitching it
into government carts, and there was a return of something
over $3000 from an outlay of plowing, Beeding, harrowing
and cutting it down.

In 1859 I spent a good deal of time in St. Lonis, having
matched Blackbird against Lily Belle, formerly Fannie Wood,
to trot ten miles for a stake of $1,000 aside. I took the
horse down the river nearly two months before the dale fixed
for the race, and stayed until the approach of winter admon-
ished me that if I got to Central Iowa (my home being about
the centre between north and south lines, though on the most
extreme eastern point) by steamboat, it would not do to delay
much longer. I boarded with Mr. Elleard, and having plenty
of time on my hands assisted him in his business, or rather
did all his writing, including advertisements, notices for
newspapers, and wrote reports of the races. We became wry
intimate, and I was nearly as well posted on his affairs as be
was himself, with one exception. I supposed him to have
plenty of capital, in fact from his dress, diamonds, horses,
and the lavish expenditure of money, that he was a rich man.
Never a bill returned unpaid, and when I accompanied him
to town champagne was bought by the basket, and forty or
fifty dollars for an evenings amusement he seemed to regard
as not being at all extravagant. Returning from there one
fine October evening, or rather when the noon of night was
verging, "in the wee sma' hours,"' and the full moon "run-
ning so high" that it was nearly in the zenith, so that the
shadows of the trees which bordered the roadway fell in a
black mass around their roots, and the white macadam made
from limestone seemed whiter and colder than ever, when
'Charley," who had been silent for some time, abruptly re-
marked, "You think I am well off, a rich man, eh Joe?" and
as my thoughts had been running on what a happy, reckless,
devil-may-care fellow my companion was I was really startled
at the suddenness of the query. "Of course," I replied.
"Well, this afternooon," he said, "I was making an inven.
lory of my debts, and if everything I have in the world were
sold, furniture, horses, carriages, jewelry, even my clothes
inoluded, at the top price, I would be more than twenty
thousand dollars in debt. Were I to whisper on the Btreets
what I have now told you, before the sun would set again
the sheriff would be in charge of the Abbey. Fortunately,"
he continued, "people are of the opinion you held until you
heard my confession, and I can borrow of my rich friends so
as to keep nil tradesmen's bills and rent paid. Were it not
that I feel that fortune has something in store for me I should
turn over to my creditors — there are not many who hold my
paper— all of my property, except enough to pay my passage
back to California, and have another trial in that far-off land
for fame and fortune."

ride. The few thousands of dollars I won from the New
Orleans spbrt enabled me to pay the only man among my
creditors who showed a disposition to call in his loans, and
from that time on I have prospered." "I will show you,"
he resumed, what the good dame has done for me." He
unlocked and opened the door of a safe which was in the
room and took out a draft on the Treasury of the United
States for more than six hundred thousand dollars, which
he informed me was not nearly all of his means. Again, he
continued, "I feel that in trusting my secret to you, and the
words of cheer you spoke had a good deal to do with my
abandonment of the project to return to California, and the
grand Btroke of lnok so soon thereafter, put it in my power
to remain without any suspicions of my real circumstances.

After the races, which closed the May meeting, 1865, were
over, I dined with him in company of several army officerB Of
high rank. Soon after the opening of the war he transferred
his lease of the race course to his brother-in-law, and pur-
chased the residence which formerly belonged to a Mr.
Good, a prominent attorney of St. Louis. It was a very
fine place, with acres of well kept grounds, and the house
commodious, though the 6tyle of architecture did not com-
po) I with the beautiful park like grounds which surrounded
it, After his army guests departel, which was quite late in
tti ) evening, we sat in the library, when with the same
i roptness he displayed on the former occasion, he said:
ou remember the conversation we had on the road that
nlight night, more than five years ago, when I gave you
lie information that I was 30 far under water that most men
v.'ould have Bank like a Btone, and all that saved me was a
nalural '^ouyancy of disposition, and I may add the affair

The stroke of luck he spoke of came about in this way.
There had been a dull racing day. The fields were small,
and in each contest an animal of such decided superiority
that there was little betting. The last heat was decided long
before sunset, and there was a knot of men, among whom
was my friend, standing at the bar and shaking dice, the
stakes being a dollar eaoh and the lowest man to pay for the
drinks. A big gambler from New Orleans was a looker on,
when, with a look of disdain, he said: "That is all you St.
Louis chaps are fit for to throw high-die for a picayune a
throw, I have been here a week and cannot get a chance to
win or Iobo the amount of my hotel bill, to Bay nothing of
other expenses." Keeping on in a strain of still more deroga-
tory charges, with an unusual accompaniment of oaths,
Elleard asked him what he proposed to do. "Anything," he
replied, "where there IB a chance to lose or win money. I
will throw dice from one hundred dollars a cast to as much
more as any man wants to make it." Without replying,
Charlev opened the safe which was in the corner of the Toom,
palled out a drawer which was filled with bank notes, and
counted one thousand dollars, which he laid on the counter.
The New Orleans man did the same. "Which shall throw
first?" asked Elleard. "You begin," was the reply. There
was no more of a tremor in Charley's hand than when shaking
for the dollars, and when the box was lifted there was far
above an average of spots disclosed. It would have been the
biggest kind of luck to have beaten the throw, and it was not
at all surprising that, big sport as he was, there were ner-
vous twitchings of lips aud eyelids, and an involuntary
Bhake of his hand when he rattled the bones in the cup. He
lost and demanded another bout. That he also lost, when
the third went to his credit, and after that victory and defeat
alternated for some time. At last it settled in favor of Char-
ley, who won all of hi-; opponents ready money, but the other,
telling him that he had money in a St. Louis bank which he
would draw his check against, the game went on. All one
way, however, and when the loss was augmented by a debit
of $5,000 he surrendered, far from being the bold, big man
he was when casting slurs on the picayune gamblers. Next
morning 1 asked Charley if it would not be well to get the
check cashed. "Not a bit of danger," he said; "I know Mr.

well) and his word can be depended upon with as much

confidence as a bond duly sealed, signed and delivered. If
that rive thousand dollars were all he had on deposit, not a
cent would be drawn if even he knew that I would not pie-
sent mine for a week. He is generally more quiet, but I
rather think that he had taken too many drinks at the bar
under the stand, and the boys have given him the wrong
bottle."

Genial Jerry Millspaugh, superintendent of the Abbey
track, and Elleard's general factotum in most of his outdoor
affairs, brim full of good nature, always ready to oblige or
grant any favor that was within his power to bestow! Men
who are verging on three score and ten will recall their boy-
hood's days, with visions of Raymond and Millspangh'a
menagerie, and Jerry was prone to tell lung stories of when
he was on the road. An elephant was his prime favorite,
and be seemed firm in the belief that the animal realized
every word he Baid, responding with trunk pantomime,
twinkles of the small eye, and expressive flapping of its big
ears. Jerry was known to nearly every resident of St-
Louis, and was a special favorite with those who Btopped at
the Abbey. Life on the road had developed a faculty of
drinking an incredible quantity of stimulants, andalthoughl
had known men engaged in the lumber districts of Pennsyl-
vania who could manage from a quart to half a gallon a day,
{whisky was pure then, and only cost from seventeen cents
to a quarter of a dollar a gallon), the best of them would
have met their match in Jerry. I have known him to take a
drink with an acquaintance, and if another came in while
the glasses still stood on the bar the drink was re-
peated, and it was long odds that if he started to the
stable, before he got half way across the yard, he
would be brought to a halt with the familiar salu-
tation, "Come, Jerry," and back he always came in response
to the invitation. I won a small wager that he would drink
forty or more times from morning till be retired for the night.
The bar-keepers were to throw a poker check into a cigar
box every time that Jerry took a drink, and fortune favored
me as there were more than an average attendance to Bee the
horses exercise in the morning, and the afternoon was bo
pleasant that the road drivers were out in full force. After a
few cocktails in the morning, he settled ou Hostetter
bitters, and I felt safe as to the results. When be bid ub
good night, there might be a little thickening of the tongue,
and he was somewhat more careful in measuring his strides,
and that was all. Sixty-three was the count, so that I won

At that time, 1859, there lived in St. Louis a Mr. J. C.K .

When a boy he had ridden Reel, and many of the old-time'
celebrities, and he was fond of making matches, and took
great pride in the acuteness he showed in getting the best of
the bargain. He was an adept in irritating men into a
match, which in their cooler moments they would readily
see that the odds were extremely long against them, and
forfeitB would be paid. There came from Philadelphia a
party with several trotters, among them a trotting stallion

named Warrior. K was a sharer in the stable secrets, and

day after day he was offering to wager that Warrior could
beat any stallion in the Abbey boxes. He became tiresome
in his offers, and aggravated the owners of stallions espe-
cially with his offensive remarks. There was also at that
time a five-year-old pacing stallion, which was well known as
the Zuler colt, but very few were aware nf hie true name,
which was Missouri Chief. George Evans, who has been a
resident of California for many years, was a room-mate Of
mine, and I suggested to him that we should have a little

fan with K , as I was satisfied that he would fall into the

trap, which was set as follows: George was to make the
match and call upon me to write the contract, which I would
frame so as to permit any harness gait, and it was not long

before K set his foot in it. The only haggling was tbe

amount of the stake, which K insisted should be S1000

a side, George favoring half the sum. K carried the point.

$100 each was put as the first installment, $400 more to be
posted in a specified number of days, and the balance when

the drivers were "weighed in." K was inquiring of every

one he thought likely to know what stallion Missouri Chief
was, without eliciting the desired information. The time
for the second payment was closely at hand, and the Warrior
party were beginning to get nervous. He was described in
the contract as a bay stallion, but uo one could tell bim what
particular bay Btallion waB the one meant. At last he met
Jerry Millspaugh, and after the usual course of drinks he
asked him if he knew a bay stallion called Missouri Chief,
informing him of the match made with Evans and bis sus-
picions that I had something to do with it, in which case he
thought it probable that it was a Chicago horse brought
there for the purpose of beating Warrior. "Not a bit of it,''
replied Jerry; "he is that big-headed pacing colt of old
Zuler's." He waB at least five s conds in a mile faster than
Warrioi, and he recognized at once that under the contract
be was eligible to start. Elleard was stakeholder, and calling
on every one to come in he authorized Charley to give
George the forfeit, and told the barkeeper to "Bet them up
for the whole crowd." It was no part of the scheme to keep
the money, bo that George refused positively to accept it.
K was just as stubborn, so Elleard cleared away the diffi-
culty by compromising that it should be spent for a dinner,
the gueBts to be selected by the parties to the contraot.
Bith horses came to California, Missouri Chief being the sire
of Nimrod, one of the great pacers some twelve years ago,
and I have been informed that H ram Woodruff, o^ned by
Cornelius Stag", was Warrior under a change of name.

It was in 1859 that Eoff "carried" Princess from here
East. She had been "hippodroming" with Flora Temple in
the East, and, by the way, the first regular business hippo-
drome was inaugurated by Eoff when he made bo much ex-
citement with "California Patcben." Never before was a
horse of his caliber so over-rated; not one so shrewdly man-
aged as tbe big bay from the Occident. Princess, too, was
handled with consummate skill, and when it seemed that
people most have been aware that she could not campaign
with Flora, Eoff had tact enough to make it appear that it
suited his book to have her beaten, rather than the onus
should be thrown on the mare. She lost condition, how-
ever, bo completely, that she could not make any kind of a
showing, Ike Cook being substituted, who was driven by
Eoff, and to gratify people who had a strong deBire to see the
oelebrated California mare, she woe named on the bills,
though driven by the man who look care of her. McMann
and Eoff had been giving exhibitions in the townB of the
upper Mississippi, Eoff arriving at the Abbey the afternoon
thai Blackbird was to meet Lily Belle, and he came to the
stall and requested a look at the horse. He was stripped,
and Eoff, running his hands over his sides and quarters,
feeling his neck, and passing his hand down his legs, re-
marked, "He looks like a four-mile racehorse, lint don't you
think he is too low to trot?" Not at all surprising he
thought so. Although so hearty a feeder that from sixteen
to eighteen quarts of mixed feed, i. e., three parts of chopped
oats to one of winnowed hominy, with the soantest allow-
ance of pulled hay or stemmed cornblades, he was "worked''
bo muoh under heavy olothing, sent along when not clothed
mile after mile, with long walks morniog and evening, end
that without a leg "filling" or causing a disinclination to
eat, though every rib Bhowed like those uf a skeleton if
covered with thick satin, as notwithstanding that kind of
treatment bis coat was glossy and his eye clear. The bell
rang to call the horses, and while his groom was putting the
harness on, I informed Enff of what he could do and the
confidence I had in beating the mare. He thanked me for
the information, saying that he had been backing the mare,
and that he would "get out," which there were plenty of
chances to do, as she was the favorite, at odds.

When Landy, the groom of Blackbird, took him by the bit
to lead him out of the stall, I heard a great commotion in the
vard, and stepping outside Eoff stood a few yards from the
stall door with a cocked pistol in bis band. Some distance
away was Otis W. Dimmick, one of the celebrated drivers
of tVe time, with a crowd arouucl him. Borne of them trying

to give him weapons, among them K. ,who figured in the

Missouri Chief affair, with a pistol in each hand. Telling
Landy to put the horde back and Bhnt the door, I drew away
from the probable line of fire and awaited the result. Eoff
was in a frenzy of passion, his face without a trace of color
and his eyes flashing with rage "Do not come a step nearer

yon You crippled me when you knew I was unarmed,

and I have sworn to kill you if you ever came within range
of my pistol." EUeard opportunely came upon the scene,
and placing himself in front of Eoff told him that he would
not permit an attack, and that he (Eoff) should have sense
enough to know that if a fracas occurred, whichever way it
terminated. Eoff would be the sufferer. "You ought to know
Jim," he said, "that you are none too well thought of here,
and should you kill Dimmiok the people who are here will
hang yon to a branch of one of these trees, if they have to
take your own reins for a halter. Should Dimmick kill
you it is doubtful if even he is arrested, dead sure that no
punishment will follow." "Very likely," Eoff responded,
«'but that will make no difference if he^comesin my way, and
(addressing Dimmick) I give you warning to prepare yourself
as I shall certainly kill you or you will kill me should you
approach me too close." The buildings and stables were on
the backstretch of the Abbey Track, there being seats over
the boxes for those who wanted to ste the horses exercise
without going across the track. Dimmick took that for his
point of observation, Ejff in the vicinity of the judges' stand

At that time Blackbird was the worst "puller" I ever knew.
He had been harnessed once when I bought him, and the
day the purchase was effected I drove him around a half
mile track at Maquoketa.a few times. He was left with the
only man who claimed to be a trotting horse trainer then in
Iowa, 1856, and he was possessed with tbe old idea that in
order to trot fast a horse must pull on the bit with a force that
only a very strong man could exert. With a temperament
such as Blackbird had. that sort of tuition resulted in nullifying
the strength of his driver with any ordinary bit, and in a
match on which I lost one thousand in cash, a pair of mares
and an acre lot in a small village, with a blacksmith shop and
house, he drove him with what was called in that country
"a mule bit." That was in 1857. In 1858 I sent Blackbird
to George Bidwell who was then in Chicago, and that fall I
commenced driving him myself. Although he was a great
deal easier to drive, I was fearful that for so long a race as
that with Lilly Belle, my arms wonld give out, and I engaged
James Cowan to drive the match. He was a large powerful
man, weighing something over ISO pounds, and had quite a
high reputation as trainer and reinsman. He was so well
pleased with the horse that he wagered four hundred dollars,
getting five hundred against it. The match was made "good
day and track," the date fixed upon, the 26th of September.
There came a soaking rain two days before, and also another
the night previous, continuing until the early morning of
the day. The Lilly Belle party proposed that the race should
be trotted and I assented. When Cowan heard of it he
expressed his dissatisfaction emphatically, claiming that the
mare had much the best of it. Blackbird had a long stride
and without much kuee action, while the mare was the
reverse. I felt confident that he was much stronger than
the mare, and also that his wonderful endurance would
more than counterbalance the advantage the mar6 had.
After a good deal of argument, Cowan became somewhat
mollified, though still grumbling over my foolish agree-
ment.

It was a fearful track. There was a cut on the backstretch
which exposed the subeoil, a tenacious yellow clay, and that
material had been used to fill a hollow which lay beyond the
excavated portion. From the time the rain eeased falling
there was bright sunshine, which caused the clay to be more
"holding" than would have been the case had the rain con-
tinued until the time of starting. When the horses were on
the heaviest part of the track the pop of their feet could
be plainly heard at the judges' stand as they were drawn
from the bed of clay, which effectually excluded the air un-
til the feet were raised, and the rush of the aerial fluid was
the cause of the sound. I advised Cowan to let the horse go
along at his own pace, as an endeavor to restrain him would
be likely to make him pull harder, Before the start Eiff had
forced the betting from "even money" to 100 to 50 on Black-
bird, and when one mile was trotted he was offering 100 to 30.
The mare led for three miles, as Cowan thought it would not
possibly do to let him set the pace, and as he came past
me at about the four mile distance mark I saw that the res-
traint was overtasking him, and implored Cowen to give him
his head. The mare was several lengths in the lead, and her
driver, Frank Webb, nodded to an acquaintance, an agreed
signal for him to bet. Eoff was then betting 100 to 15, and
he and tbe man who had the benefit of Frank's tip were
busy putting up the money as fast as Eoff could count his
hundred and deposit it in the stakeholder's hands. The fif_
teen dollar end was less troublsome to handle, and before the
hundred was counted a shout attracted the taker of the long
odds. Blackbird was lapped on the mare before the turn was
made, they trotted head-and-head until the cut was reached,
and the clay fairly broke the mare's heart. The horse opened
a gap of one hundred yards in going a quarter of a mile, and
when she was finishing her fifth mile he was coming up the
stretch on the sixth. The mare was stopped when she got
around to the stables, being so much fatigued that she could
hardly stand while being unhitched from the sulky. Appar-
ently it was easy exercise for Blackbird, he not showing a par-
ticle of distress in windfuMimb.

I advised EUeard to advertise tbe race between Flora
Temple, Ike Cook and Piinces3 as an "exhibition of speed,"
which was the first time I ever knew the phrase to be used in
a trotting race. It was generally known that Princess was so
much out of condition that she could not trot within twenty
or thirty seconds as fast as Flora, and Cook was not credited
with being any where near the mard, or nearly as good as he
showed himself to be on that day. The first heat Eoff drove
him to a very light sulky which wob made for Princess, the
very lightest I had ever seen up to that time. Ike Cook
showed so well in scoring that a few small amounts were put
on him against long odds en Flora. Ike kept quite close to
her until they got past the three quarter pole, when some
were enthusiastic enough to think that the son of Abdallah
had a show for the heat. A few seconds, however, proved
how futile the thoughts, as Eoff was .seen to pull him for the
outside fence, and after stopping the horse jogged him quietly
home. There was a torrent of denunciations. Takehimout

and hang him. Break the 'a neck, with a

variety of equally choice epithets. There was a rush for the
jrack in front of the judges' stand, and a good many
thought that Eoff would drive aroand the town to the stables
and keep out of the way. He brought the horae to a stop
about 100 yards from the wire, and as he turned around, I
spoke to tbe other two judges, Gordon Abrams and John M.
Cannon, that we must step down to protect him, as it was
evident that something had gone wrong. Eoff drove under
the wire asking permission to dismount, and though his face
was very pale, he gave no evidence of fear, and not a man
offered to interfere with him. The trouble came from the shafts
springing so much when he took a pull at Ike for a brush
down the stretch, which brought the . cross-bars (that was
before tbe day of curved axles) so low that the horse struck
his hocks against them, and seemed to be on the point of
kicking and running away. Having been advertised as an
exhibition of speed, we ruled that it was only right to give
what the two dollar tickets presumably guaranteed, a chance
to see Flora go three heats, so let Ike start again. The sec-
ond heat the horse wa^ hitched to his own sulky, and pressed
Flora to make the fastest time which had ever been made on
the track, and if my menior* be correct the fastest ever wit-
nessed in St. Louie, although it would be slow nowadays,

The Australian Mare Won.

Bv "Hidalgo."

An occasional correspondent of the Breeder and Sports-
man, who writes under the nom deplume of Hidalgo, has been
favoring the Sportsman of Melbourne with some character-
istic sketches, one of which is given below.

It wbb on the last day— Steeplechase day — of the world-
renowned Flemiugton meeting. Blue Mountain was king of
the hurdles, and Savanak hud redeemed the hopes formed of
him in the Nursery Handicap. A party of gentlemen were
seated for a glass of champagne under the jockeys' stand.
It was a white-haired man who spoke.

"No, sir; the Melbourne cup is a great Bight, but it has
neither raised nor lowered my estimate of Australian horses.
I have had a high belief of their quality ever since I saw an
Australian mare win a race near Los Angeles, about thirty-
three years ago." "I was not aware that any Australian
horses had been taken to California prior to Sir Modred and
Darebin, " said the luanager of the Princess Theatre. "Oh,
yes, away back," replied the old man, "there was a man
named Cooper Turner, who came from Sydney in 1852, with
three horses. One of these was a black mare called Black
Swan, and a bay stallion called Chloroform. Both were by
Ether, who was quite a favorite sire in those days. The
other was a gray gelding called Ito, whose pedigree I have
forgotten. In those days there were no fixed events, and
everything was the grossest kind of a job. That was not
Turner's style of racing, so he sold his horses and started
back for Sydney. I have never seen him since."

"Well, as there is no more American history for him, how
about the horses?'1 asked Mr. Dot Bonccault. "I am com-
ing to that, my son," said the old man. "The stallion
Chloroform was sold to a penurious old Dutchman named
Weber, at Stockton, but he got a gr^at many servicable
horses in spile of his owner's lack of enterprise. Ito was sold
to Denis Brodigan, who kept the City Hotel, in Sonora, and
died in the grand old Tuolumne mountaine. Black Swan
was sold to Don Ignacio Sepulveda at Los Angeles, who kept
her along about a year, and tried to get on a match with Don
Pio Pico's horse Roper (which is Spanish for pig driver), but
old Pico was too smart for him. Pico had a daughter, how-
ever, who lived with a Missouri gambler, named Boone
Helms. One day Boone Helms disappeared suddenly, and
it was said that he had gone to Mexico. Abmt seven weeks
after that he came back with a small brown gelding called
Sarco, whose stifles were covered with Mexican brands, and
whom he was not afraid to match against old Swan. About
this time there was a trainer named James Willett, who had
no superior in bringing a horse up to concert pitch. He had
with him a lieutenant named Dave Tidwell and a rider named
Aleck'Marshall, who was born in Sydney of convict parents.
There never was a bigger rascal on the turf than Marshall,
but he was afraid of Dave Tidwell's pistol and Jim Willett'^
knife. He would have "given the double" to anyone else,
but with them he was straight enough. The match was
made for 10,000 head of cows and bullocks (to be appraised
before the Btart), and the race was to be for a run of three
miles to a turning post, and three miles back."

"God bless my soul," continued the old man, as he drew
his pocket handkerchief over his brow, "I never saw sucb
big betting, and as little money in sight. Those Spaniards
would bet a thousand head of horses as though they had
just Btolen them. It was a red hot day, and Dave Tidwell
took a bucket of water in a wagon and went down to the
turning-post. The old mare went off about two lengths be-
hind Sarco, but Aleck could not hold her, and she came to
the stake about forty yards ahead of Sarco. Dave Tidwell
motioned Aleck to stop, and took ont tbe bucket of water,
with which he sponged out her mouth and washed off her
j .i.U. He let her go again about seventy yards behind
Sarco, but she soon headed him, and won as she liked by o
quarter of a mile. Old Sepulveda pulled the saddle off her,
and swore she should neverrace again. I tried twice to hire

let her go off bis ranch. After _fhe thing was all over, it
leaked out that Boone Helms had he rer been in Mexico at
ali, and Sarco was no Mexican hars£. -, He was a Kentucky
bred horse called Lithgow, a grandscn.uf Priam, who could
stay all day long, but the old B^ack Swan had too much
speed for him."

"Did she ever leave any valuable progeny?" asked one of
the gentlemen prtseut. -*

'None worth mentioning," replied the old mwx.'V'She
died in obscurity, and Willett and Tidwell are long1 "since
buried." '< *

"Whatever became of Boone Helms?"

"fie was bunged by the vigilantes at Helena, Montana,
about an hour before daylight," said the old man, as a
shadow crept over his face and his voice sank to a low
whisper. "About sixty men took him out of jail acd hanged
him to a juniper tree. I — I — I saw him die!"

The New Selling Race Rule.

At the last meeting of the Turf Congress there was passed
the following rule:

"In all selling races the winner shall be sold by secret
sealed bids, to be deposited in a place designated by the Asso-
ciation, within fifteen minutes after the close of the race, the
bids to be opened by the presiding judge, and the surplus 'to
be divided between the Becond horse and the Association. "

"Jim Watson," says, in the Philadelphia PresR, of the new
selling race rule adopted by the Western Turf Congress:
"Such a rule out-herods Herod in the way of turf legislation,
and it can be characterized as nothing but downright robbery.
The object is to squeeze a few hundred dollars more into the
club treasury than can be done by open bidding. If an owner
of a horse entered to be sold at $1,000 fears that some one
may make a bid, he may ofier $1,500 rather than lose his
horse. The opposition bids may not exceed $1,100, and the
difference of $400, obtained from the owners by means of the
sealed bid, can only be characterized as extortion.";

The New York World says: "The rule is scarcely likely to
be adopted in the Eaat, where selling races invariably bring
out good fields, making heavy betting, in which the book-
makers have a chance to square their books after an over-
whelming favorite has won tbe stake feature of the day."

Another view of the matter is, however, taken by another
writer, who sayB:

The new law in regard to selling races recently adopted by
the Turf Congress, at first looked upon with disfavor by
turfmen generally, ia now finding many defenders who cbiim
that it will be a great ;benefit to prove owners of selling
platers, not able to win stakes or weight for age races. Tuey
assert that during the past season many stake wioniugs aud
high-class horses were entered in selling races and backed
heavily in the books by their owners and protected when
sold, mostly by combination and understanding with tbe
parties who ran second, and only occasionally bad to pay a
small advance over their entered price. The ru'~
hoped, will tend to break this up, and give n cl
horses who are in reality selling platers. A pr ■
ern owner voices tbe sentiment that every hoi -
selling race should be liable to be claimed
price whether winner or non-winner, and Ihic
better if tbe owner of the second horse di i i
tiou of tbe surplus, which should be divide i

Bat yet I mast Tell yoa,-1 ,63ver knew in my Life, a good
Horse-man Thrown, but I hare known many presumptuous
ignorant Fellows get Pajis; but, as, if a good Horseman by
Chance be Thrown, he jJoCb not Lose all his Horse-manship
with that Fall, if hebaoot Kill'd; so an Ignorant man, if he
Sits, is uot Presently infused with Horse-manship: For it is
a Mistake ai,Sidf6u!ous as it is Common,. to take Sitting
Fast on Horseback for the whole Art of Horse-manship.

Old Griaon, and his Translator Mr. Blundevilej
ANA TOMIZED
"- '010' Grison, and many Italian Authors, would have a Bar-
'dzl, which is a Straw Saddle, set first on a Colts Back, and
'nothing but a Rope Cavazon on his Nose; which is to no
Purpose in the world, but Loss of Time: Then they will
Trot him two or three Tears up Hills, and down Hills, to
Stop him; which is to Less Purpose, and more Loss of
Time.

They would have a Circle, or Bing, as they call them, of
an Acre of ground in Plow'd Land, to make a Horse go a
Hundred TurnB in it, which is wowe than to Bide a Journey
of Thirty miles; and I wonder what Horses they had in
those Dayes; for I am sure, ThoBe we have now, are not
Able to do it.

They Teach to Bide one Horje two or three Hours at a
time, when one may well Bide half a Dozen at leaBt in an
Hour, and give them sufficiently Enough.

For their Single Turns, and Double TurnB, call'd Rado-
piare, they are Ridiculous, and so is the Repolone, which is
to Gallop him Half a mile, and then Turn him Ill-favouredly
and False : And their Several Mannages of Melzo Tempo,
Tutto Tempo, and Contralempo, are no Better.

For a Resly Horsi they Batse a whole Town with Staves to
Beat him. with many Curious Inventions, with Squirts, Fire,
Whelps, Hedg-hoggs, Nailes, Bnd I Know not What. And the
fame they do Before a Horse that Runs Away, as well as to
the Besly Horse Behind.

Then lor Spurring, the Bunching Stroke, and the Clinching
Stroke; and if he will not Endure the Spurs, Boots stufft with
Straw, and Spurs at them, lo Hang at his Sides, (which is
not worth a Straw); and the Chambetta, which signifies
nothing.

For a Horse that is Afraid, and Starts, they appoint
Whirlegiggs of several Colours, which will make him Ten
times Worse. And to lay Stones in his Way, and a Ho'low
Ditch to Bide him in, are Lamentable businesses in Horse-
manship: And they have as many Foolish Waves for the
Credensa, which thall never Care him of that Vice.

They Bid us take Heed, by any Means, Not to make the
Horse too Weak-Neckt; which is a Prime Note! Bat Mr,
Blundevile did not Know, that all Horses are a Stiff-necked
Generation.

Mr. Pagano would never Use his Horse to any
thing but a Walk, or a Trot at the niosi; where-
with {I am sure) be shall never Dress a Horse per-
fectly; and yet (sayes Mr. Blundvile) it was a

20

Tlie New Method

Wonder to all Beholders, to fee, Thac in Eight
Dayes, he would make him Run a Carreer per-
fectly, which I will Undertake to have done the
Tuft Morning that ever he Ran.

Speaking of his Capriole, he miftakes the Ayre,
as well as the making of the Horfe.

For Corvett, Mr. Blnndevil did not Underftand
it f nor his Mafter Grifon belike,) when he faycs,
The Spaniards take Delight to make their Horfes
go in Corvets, which never Spaniard yet could
do ; but he takes Trampling, and Vrauncing, for Cor-
•vets, wherein he is much Dccciv'd; for Corvets
is the Hardefl Ayre in the World, which no Horfe
can go, unlefs he be perfe&ly within the Hand., and
the Heels, and upon the Hanches ; which is not
Trampling. »

" To Ride Short ,he calls after the Turi^li Fafhion,
wherein he is Deceived ; for it is A ha Genette,
which is the Spanifi Fafhion too; and to Ride
Short in Corvets is his Miftake, for I would Ride
Longer in Corvets than any other Ayre. He is
alfo Miftaken, when he fayes, He would nor have

son of Hindoo, thinks he will be the champion of the year.

William Enslon has purchased in Eagland the bay horse
Prince Jo, sis years old, by Prince Charlie — Mystery, by
Trumpeter. - It is not stated for whom the horse was bought.

Senator Hearst evidently desires to save his King Ban colt,
King Thomas, for the Futurity Stake, as by looking over the
Coney Island entries I fail to find his name in any of t lie other
stake events.

Tom Gallagher, sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune,
is rusticating in Southern California. His close application
to work caused his health to give way, and a chaoge became
necessary.

Mr. C. V. Tapper, owner of the race-horse Al Farrow, bas
returned to Santa Kosa, and I am pleased to learn that he
has entirely recovered from the injuries received at the Bay

thoroughbreds quartered at the San Jose track. The new
inside running course has been made and in a few days will
be ready for use.

Little George Covington will attend to the light weight
monnts in the interest of Senator Hearst this season. With
Hamilton and Covington, the Hearst colors should win many
a big dollar in 1SS9.

The English hackney stallion Trnffit's Fireaway. is now
rising 30 years. He has done stud duty for over 25 years,
and has averaged over a hundred foals yearly. His get are
roughly valued at $l,2o0,000.

amount stated will be nearer the mark.

Mr. and Mrs. "Knap" McCarthy will pay San Francisco a
visit preparatory to leaving for the East. Mr. McCarthy's
horses have all done well on the coast, and he will return
well satisfied with his Pacific Slope experience.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey are following closely in the
wake of New York. In the legislatures of both States bills
have b»en introduced to restrict po^l selling, each being
based on what is called the Ives' pool bill.

Mr. Harry J. Agnew, of Honolulu, who has been on a visit

day, and in consequence will not make any entries for the
great French event.

President Clark, of the Louisville Jockey Club, has written
a history of racing in America from the earliest times down
to the recent revival in sport. The history is in manuscript
as yet. The story s .ould be one of intense interest, for no
one is better able to r'o the subject justice.

Gleaner and his trainer Bichardson and Jockey Stone have
been ruled off at New Orleans for throwing a race in which
Wooley was allowed to win. A telegram announcing that
the race was "fixed" *&s received by one of the sporting
fraternity in Sau Francisco on the morning of the raoe, and

at least one of th* bookmakers, suffered in consequence,

In spile of reports to the contrary, Mr. Hankies of the
Chicago stable bus finally decided again to put that ugly bnt
very speedy brute Little Minch in training next spring, and
will have him as one of the bread winners without a doubt.

One of the most peculiar names yet given to a racer is St.
August, a name given by F. B. Harper to his weaning colt by
St. Blaise— Secret. It is supposed to be a compliment to
August Belmont, who owns the Bire of the youngster.

The Breeder and Sportsman offers its services to any
strangers visiting Sin Francisco, and will be pleased to re-
ceive letters and telegrams for those who have no regular

shall be only too pleased to have them accept our offer.

I wish I could do justice to the band of Shorthorn cattle
which are to be sold by Killip <fc Co. at the Bay District track
on Tuesday next. They are the finest lot, all round, I have
ever seen, and bred, so I am told, equal to Proctor Knott or
Sunol; but then I can talk horse when I cannot write cattle.

Some years ago a race track was laid out on the Woolsey
estate at A-tori*, Long Island, but for some reason was never
finished. Work has been resumed at this late day, and will
be pushed so as to have everything all ready to start on July
4th. If the management is in gooa bands it should be a
paying project.

Mas'er Willie Ketchnm, of Brighton, Canada, has trained a
dog to (rot, uud the oanine bas developed such speed that a
challenge has been issued to trot the Irish Better against any
poDy twelve hands or nnder on either ice or turf. He has
already won a race, haviug been matched agaiust the imported
pony Djnald Dinnie, owned by W. J. Turley, of Frankfort,
Canada.

Some prcmiuent citizens of S in Jose have instituted a
movement for the formation of a jockey club in the Garden
City. It has been suggested and will in all probability be
carried to a successful conclusion, that the eeutlemen in-
terested announce a spring meeting, either before or directly
after the Blood Horse Meeting.

The suit brought by Miss Jennie Juliette agaiDst W. G.
Brian, Sr., the trniner on the Clifton track, for the recovery
of her two race horses, Drumstick aud Clatter, and her share
of the winnings, amounting to §1,725, was compiomised yes-
terday, Brien paying $3,100 for a bill of sale for both horses.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Leslie E. McLeod, assis-
tant editor of Wallace's Monthly, one day Ibis week, and we
two horse-sharps had a grand time talking over old remin-
iscences. "Mac" will write up the principle breeding farms
of the Pacific Coast for his magazine, and that it will be well
done goes without saying.

Up to date I have rect-ived exactly forty-one exchanges
which have printed the ' Chat with Cy Mulkey" about how
Yum Yum was discovered, and as yet failed to find one that
has given the Breeder ank Sportsman credit for the article.
One of the principle New York daily papers is numbered
among the pirates.

Some weeks ago I reported that Col. Bussell of Boston, had
purchased the well known son of Electioneer, Ansel, and a
few days afterwards it was confirmed by telegrams sent out
through the associated press. It seems now that the negotia-
tions have fallen through, and Ansel will not goto the far
East. Bumor now says that Col. Russell is trying to pur-
chase Stamboul from L J. Rose, and that he may probably
succeed.

The regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the
TJkiah Park Association was held last Saturday afternoon,
says the Dispatch Democrat, a majority of the Btock being
represented. Directors were elected as follows: T. M. Mcn-
non, J. S. Reed, president; L. F. Long, vice-president; L. T.
Day, secretary; W. A. Hagans, treasurer. The indebtedness
of the association amounts to §965.41, but the property it
owns is worth much more.

E. Spiers, of Glen Falls, N. Y., has purchased from Leland
Stanforn, ot the Palo Alto stock farm, the bay colt May King,
three years old, by Electioneer, dam May Queen, by Alexan-
der Norman. The latter is the sire of Lulu, which .has a
record of 2:15.

The price is not named, but it is said to be between $8,000
and $9,000.

I had a hearty handshake on Monday last with that prince
of good fellows James Golden of Boston. Mr. Golden, whose
many years on the trotting turf has made him an authority,
is out here to see for himself whether the yarns told by Dobl6
Splan, Caton and others about the marvellous climate is
really correct or not. He is already satisfied that not half
the truth has been told. Welcome Jimmie.

That excellent theatrical journal the New York Dramatic
News, will, from on and after this week, devote a part of its
columns to high clas3 sports, and in furtherance thereof has
selected that good all-round aclor, Harry Gates, to collect
Pacific Coast items. Harry is at present on the staff of Music
and Drama, and it need not surprise his friends if he shonld
ask on the one hand "How is Lydia Thompson's leg show
eetting along?" and on the other "how are the legs of the
Emperor of Norfolk?"

In eaoh and every stable there is already one favorite sel-
ected for 1889, but in picking winners ahead do not forget
that Matt S'orn has Forrester (formerly Theodore Winters)
by Joe Hooker, dam by Melbourne Jr., that is showing some
marvelous time on the Sacramento track. I hear that some
of the old timers proclaim him a world beater. He resembles
C. H. Todd in appearance, beiiig - pretty etiegtnut with, white
face and legs,

James Murphy, of Lexington, Ky., announces that he
stands ready to match Dilemma, two years, by Onondaga,

on April 15th or during the spring meeting of the Kentucky
Association.

At a meeting of the Sonoma Agricultural Park Association
on the 17th inst., a lease of the track was given to W. B.
Sanborn for one year, one week in August being reserved for
their annual fair. Mr. Sanborn will begin at once to work
the track and have it in the best condition, as he will give a
running meeting in the spring, to follow immediately after
the Blood Horse Association's annual events.

Mr. J. W. Knox has sold to Montgomery & Rea of San
Jo.*e, the br c Boodle, foaled 1386, by Stranger, dam Bride by
Jay Gould. Stranger, by Gen. Washington, dam Goldsmith
Maid; Boodle's second dam Tidy, by Ethan Allen; third dam
by old Abdallah. Mr. Knox would not have parted with
this magnificently bred colt, but his business interests for
1S89 prevents him from giving the horse the attention
required. The price given for Boodle is not slated.

The Directors of the Overland Park Club Association,
Denver, Col., have elected the following officers for 1S89:
D. D. Streeter, President; J. K. Choate, Vice-President;
J. H. P. Voohies, Secretary; W. R. Mygatt, Treasurer; D. B.
Hall, Superintendent. D. D. Slreeter. J. K. Chnato. A. H.
Fowler, W. R. Mygatt, J. H. P. Voorhies. J. N. Carlile, and
S. S. Austin, Executive Committee. The spring trotting and
racing meeting will be held May 20th to 25th, 1889.

H. W. Peck of Healdsburg is the owner of the bay yearling
stallion Ferndale. He is by racing rule a two-year-old.
though in reality but twenty two months old. He went a
quarter the other day in 403 seconds hi ched to a very ligh
cart. Ferndale is by Anteeo, 2:lfc£, and his dam is a ppeedy
and game mare by John Nelson. He is considered by manv
horsemen the best son of his illustrious sire, which is sayirg
a great deal. It is not often that a colt of such perfect con-
formation and gait is met with, even in this day of pro-
gression in horse affairs.

From the St. Louis "Republio" I gain my first information
of the death of the thoroughbred stallion Imported Billet,
which occurred at the breeding farm of Clay & Woodford.
near Paris, Ky. He was by Voltigeur, dam Calcutta, and was
one of the greatest stallions in America. He sired Miss
Woodford, Raceland, Sir Dixon, Belvidere, Spalding, The
Lioness, Barnes' Runnyniede and others. His get last
season won $120,042, and stood second in the list of winning
sires. He was 24 years old. His get from 1883 to 188S won
$592,202.50. Imported Billet was third on the list of win-
ning sires in 1834, seventh in 1S85, second iu 1SS6, fourth in
1887 and now stands second. witH S120.042 to bis credit.

The announcement of a match race between C. H. Gilman'p
Solitaire and N. Craig's Acrobat, says the Sacramento Bee,
had the effect of attracting a fair-sized attendance at Agricul-
tural Park on Saturday afternoon. Solitaire went to cart,
while Acrobat went to harness. The first heat Acrobat won
in 2:344; but Solitaire won the nest three and race in an eisy
manner in 2:32J, 2:372, 2:37.

Several of the lovers of turf sports are arranging for a five
days Spring meeting in this city to be held in the early part
of May. There will be several novel features on the pro-
gramme, besides the running, trotting and pacing contests.

The chief interest at Sheepshead Bay just now centers in
the doings of the horses owned by United States Senator
George Hearst. King Thomas, the $40,000 King Ban colt, is
of conrse the pet of the stable. He stands lb bands high,
and will stand a lot of work. Allen thinks he will have him
ready for the first of the spring stakes. Mr. Allen thinks the
fltet filly Gorgo will have no superior of her age during the
coming season. The Australian horse, Irue Briton, and the
three-year-old, Philander, promise to give a good account cf
themselves.

All the Eastern sporting journals have given "oceans of
space'' to guessing at the probable weights to be chrried bv
starters for the Suburban, and all concede top impost to
either Fireiizi or the Bard. It is a bard matter to bring a lot
of racehorses to the poBt. each in the piuk of condition, and
"Black and Blue," in the "Mail and Express," shows this
clearly when he says: Egmont, at one period of last year.
could have beaten any horse in Ameiica over the Suburban
distance. Eolian, at another certain time, could have beaten
Egmont. Terra Cotta, in June, could have beaten both, and
Firenzi, in August, could have run away from all of the in.

Breeder and Sportsman readers will be pleased to learn
that D. D. Withers has at last decided to name those of his
horses which heretofore have been called after their dams:
The five-year-old Cyclone colt is now called Catspaw. The
three-year-olds named are: Stately, by King Ernest— Mimi;
Stonecrop, by Stonehenge— Mary Buckley; Chemise, b\ Sen-
sation—Chamois; Tomboy, by Tom Ochiltree — Majority ;
Orator, by Tom Ochiltree — Cadence; Major-domo, by Tom
Ochiltree — Sweet Home; Cynosure, by Tom Ochiltree— Cy-
clone. His two named two-year-olds are Chit f tain, by Uocas
— Chamois, and Adamant, by Stonehenge— Adage. He has
not found a name yet for the Faverdale colt, but may possi-
bly select Brookdale.

The proudest man I have met in many a day is Mr. C. E.
Needham, of Beltota, San Joaquin county; and I don't won-
der at it, for he is the owner of Steve Whipple 2:23, made
against E. J.Rose's Dubec, while in a trial he has shown
2:20. and gone a quarter in 32.}, equal to a 2:10 gait. While
the horse will stand in the vicinity of Stockton this season,
it will be for a short time only, as in June the 'well known
driver, Parker, will prepare the stallion for campaign work.
It is the general impression that 2:16 is about his mark, and
Mr. Needham feels confident that his colt can touch it easy.
Steve Whipple is by Chrisman's Hambletonian, by Whip-
ple's Hambletonian. His dam, Twist, by Whipple's Ham-
bletonian.

Dagworth writes in the Los Angeles Tribune: GoBsiper is
the little trotter that will need watching this season. He
will break the four-year-old stallion record held by Brown of
2:18| before the season is very old, Gossiper is a brown
stallion, four years old. He i* by Simmons' dam by Smug-
gler. At San Francisco Gossiper made a trial in 2:22T, and
Charlie Durfee has driven the horse a mile at the
tural park in 2:22- It is not y>t decided whether G
will make the California circuit or the big Easte-
Durfee holds Gossiper at $15,000. He has twr
SIO.OOO for his lucky purchase. I would not
surprised if Gossiper should lower the world's for

record befor« another year hops aroqnd.

How Todd Was Timed-

A few days ago the New York World contained an inter-
esting account of tha principal bookmakers in the metropo-
lis, part of which is of local interest, and warrants republica-
tion in the Breeder and Sportsman. It is as follows:

J. C. Boardman, or "Billy" Boardman, as he 1b known
East and AVest, is oue of the shrewdest and safest book-
nicker-; in the circuit. His honesty and regard for his word
are proverbial. He is very companionable, and usually
spends his winters surrounded by his friends in Louisville,
where he talks by the hour of his interesting experiences on
the tarf. Tbe story goes that Boardman was one of the few
who knew that C. H. Todd was going to win the Chicago
Derbj' two years ago, and he got his information in a very
peculiar way. The stablemen were very secret about the
horse, taking care to exercise him at two or three o'clock in
the morning, when the track was clear, and there was no
possibility of any one seeing him or catching his time.

Billy had an idea that the horse was a good one, and he
determined to find out what he could do. It was two days
before the race that he came to this conclusion, and he knew
that the next morning's trial would, in all probability, be the
final one. The great question with him whs h iw to catch
the exact time. The horse was always run in the dark, and
if he used a lantern to look at his stop watch he would be
detected at once, and the trial would be postponed. At last
a brilliant idea suggested itself to Billy's quick brain. There
was a little negro on the track the regularity of whose pulse
wai the wonder of every one.

For hours at a stretch it had been tested and was found to
beat exactly sixty times to the minute. He had been tested
walking, sleeping, riding and eating, and under all circum-
stances it remained identically the same old regular pulse
with its sixty beats to correspond to the sixty seconds of the
minute. Billy hastened off, hired the boy, and that night
they both lay in a convenient fence corner near the string and
waited. The night was very dark, and as he did not know
at what moment the horse would be brought out Billy had to
keep a sharp watch. He h^d been ^waiting in his cramped
position for two hours and had almost given up seeing the
trial when he heard the galloping of a horse coming down
the track. The rider pulled up just in front of him, and
presently a man came up whom Billy recognized as Todd's
trainer. He carried a bull's-eye lantern, and it took Billy
but a moment to see that the horse was the mysterious C. H.
Todd. Billy wake J the negTo boy up, and gave his orders.
The boy was to time the horse by counting his own pulse-
beats!

A moment later tbe midnight trial had begun. A strangely
picturesque scene it wa3. As the flying horse, with the little
jockey on bis back, swept past the quarters, men posted there
with lanterns flashed their lights acr jf-s the track to notify
the trainer and give him an opportunity to catch the time.
The horne was revealed for a moment, and then there was
darkuocs, and only the far-away muffled tramp of tbe burry-
ine animal; and there iu the fence corner sat Billy, the little
ne^ro by his side, scared and trembling, but manfully mark-
inc lime.

'What was the time of that fust quarter?'' whispered Billy
ii the light flashed.

Twenty-fo', buss," piped the little darky. Then a silence

:n Billy eoui:i almost hear his living chronometer beating

roods.

"What's the half ?" inquired Billy, as Todd appeared for

•j in^taut illuminated by the lanterns, and was then swal-

jawed up '*y the darkness.

"Fahty-nine, boss. Golly! ain't ole Todd a-crackin' it,"
and the little darkey's eyes nearly popped out of his head
with excitement. » -^ -.*-*«* '**■*-! .--J

It seemed an age till the third light fell on tbe fleet-fonted
thoroughbred, but when it did the boy whispered, "One-
fifteen! an' he's eomin' a-bnstin'!" As the horse rounded
into the stretch and the clattering hoofs drew nearer and
nearer, Billy and the boy were both so excited they could
scarcely keep from cheering. Down the track he came, and
under the Btring with a rush, and when Billy consulted his
timepiece he found that Todd had made the mile in 1:41.
That was enongh. He wanted no better line than that.
Next day he had a clean sheet for the Derby, for he wouldn't
accept a bet against Todd, and besides he won a pretty sum
on the outside. !Nor did he forget his little black watch.

Breaking- Colts.

It is not to be expected that every man should be a pro-
fessional horseman in the senBe of handling the unbroken
colt according to the most approved rules of horse breaking,
says the Kentucky Stock Farm. But there are a few simple
rules which observation, common sense and a familiarity
with horse kind will lead one fo adopt in handling the green
colts so they may receive the first rudiments of their educa-
tion to the best advantage.

In handling the green colt it should be remembered that
horses — especially very youDg ones — are controlled by two
great passions; and exercising a controlling power for good or
evil in his education, is the faculty of memory. An injury,
or the fear of an infliction or harm, is long remembered by
tbe high spirited, nervous young horse, and kind usage after-
ward, long and persevering, will only — and then, perhaps,
not wholly — eradicate the effects of fright or ill usage.

If, then, we can excite the curiosity of the colt, and not his
fear, and thus gain his confidence, we are laying the founda-
tion of a good education for the future horse.

To hamper the free movements of a spirited young colt by
halter or bridle is a new aud startling experience to him, and
unless the colt has been bandied and accustomed to the use
of these articles in his infancy, he naturally expects some-
thing harmful as the result of the restriction of his liberty by
their U6e. Hence, it is readily seen that placing the green
colt in such — to him — unusual enviiooment the most cau-
tious aud careful handling by the one conducting the educa-
tion of the colt is necessary to inculcate the primary princi-
ples of instruction which shall render the future horse safe
and useful under harness.

As the training gradually progresses, teach the colt that
neither harness nor vehicle will harm him, and the trainer
assuredly not, and a great point is gained, because his keen
faculty of memory will enable him to keep in mind former
experiences, which always proving, if not pleasant, not fearful
or painful, in the recollection to him will give him assurance.

In passing upon the road, teach the colts that certain
objects are not dangerous by permitting him to examine
them until he is satisfied of the fact himself, and will
remember it. It very seldom proves a benefit to whip an
inexperienced driving horse for being afraid of objects on the
road. Whenever you see a horse of mature years frightened
at eveiy unusal object on the roadside, and ready to go into
the air and take to the gutter to the imminent peril of the
carriage and its occupants, you may be pretty sure the horse's
education was faulty when young, by being whipped and
otherwise improperly used because evincing signs of fear at
objects he was unaccustomed to seeing when first driven
upon the road. Kindness 1b far more effective, and he manly
and reasonable meaus to use to overcome the sensitiveness
and fears of the young horse.

A Bit of History.

There is hardly any horse living or d< ad but what has some
interesting history counected with him, and in the dull win-
ter months when items of the turf are scarce, the average
reporter picks up points and produces fur winter reading
valuable information. One of the brightest of this class of
items is given below, oopied from The E.eins and Whip, and
will amply repay perusal.

For some time it has been known among local horsemen
that there was an effort being made to uuite the fast pacing
mares, Bessie 51. and Sallie C. Mr. Bradenburg of the Dime
Museum, had, until recently, owned Bessie M., but for some
reason he allowed Mr. Kobinson to purchase Sallie C. and
finding no price he could offer would induce him to part with
her sold his little bluck mare with a record of 2: 16if for $1,750,
a price extremely low considering her speed. Both animals
are now owned by Mr. Kobinson, and an effort will be made
at the opening of the reorganized Belmont Park to reduce
the double teams' record as it now stands. Sallie C. has a
history. She was bred up in New MahoniDg Valley, where
the people mostly are good, honest farmers, and more adapted
to agricultural pursuits than sports of the turf. She was
sired by Senator, a son of Middletown, he by Humbletonian.
Her dam was Polly Hooker, a good serviceable paciDg mare
that could go in 2:20. Her owner was a tillei of the soil, and
while he might have been an expert in guessing at the weight
of a deceased porker, or refreshing his broad acres with ferti-
lizers, he failed to detect any racing qualities in the hand-
some little gray mare then called Fanny. She grew np with
the mullen weeds, daisies and clover blossoms until she was
three years old, and then her owner put her up at a raffle.
The tickets were limited and sold a 25 cents each. An honest
farmer lad bought one of them, and on the day when the
cast of the die was to settle the question of ownership, he
hitched up the horse and started for the scene of the shake up,
some twelve miles distance. On the way he called upon a
yeoman friend, whose son was persuaded to go along with
him. The farmer lad won the dainty little mare by his throw,
and that night there was merry making at tneconntry bostel-
rie. He "set 'em up,'' and the best in the house (stale lager
and hard cider) went for all ha^ds. His total expenses of the
trip were $11,50 including the ticket. Ou the way home he
grew weary of his bargain, as visions of an imaginary little,
balky, kicking graj' mare drifted through his mind, and
struck up a dicker with the neighbor's boy. The result was
that he sold a half interest in his prize for $5.75. The boys
took her home and soon found out that they had a sweet
dispositional little gray mare that cnuld go fast. W. A.
Ogdeu, a livery stable keeper of this city, beard glowing
acconntB of ber and visited the moralists. Tbe result was
that he took her home with him, and pave her a few easy races
at country fairs for pumpkin*, and cord wcod. He gave her a
mark of 2:26J at Mount Holly, N. J., last fall. Then she was
sent back to the farm for tbe winter. This last spring Ogden
gave the neighbors' boys $500, fur their interest in the little
gray, and bought out the share of tbe original holder of the
ticket for $750. Ogden gave her a record of 2:17±, and sold
her recently to her present owner for $3,000,

Races in the United States.

The tolal number of races run in the United Slates in 1SSS,
beginning at Glifton on Monday, January 2d, and ending at
tbe same place on Monday, December 31, were 4^52 1, an
increase of 680 races over the total of 18S7, says the Horse-
man. Of the 4,421 races run, only 156 were for jumpers,
leaving 4,265 races run on the flat. This is a great falling off
in the number of jumping races as compared with 1687,
when there was a total of 193 in all, viz: 71 over hurdles and
121 steeplechases. In 1868 there were only 34 races over
hurdles, with 96 steeplechases, a result partially due to tbe
elimination of jumping races by the Washington Park Club,
Chicago, the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park in Octo-
ber, and at Monmouth Park, where there were only two
races each week for jumpers, as against three in former
years. The total number of races run od the flat under
Jockey Club rules in Great Britain and Ireland for 1SS8 was
1,589 of which 759 were at five furlongs and under six, 262
at sis furlongs and under a mile, 333 at one mile, 184 at over
a mile and under two, 40 at two miles and under three, 7 at
three miles and under four, and 4 four miles. There were
100 r-ices run in Canada in 1888, as against 153 in 1S87, when "
the money value was S19.S60. The value in 1883 was
815,600, with seven races for which no valne was given.

Sunol Not Sold.

San Juau, in the Sporting "World, says:

This is the season of the year when sales and rumors of
sales of prominent trotters are constantly heard of. The
comparative leisure of the winter gives to the owners of
trotting stables and of breeding establishments the due op-
portunity tor the close investigation and the diplomatic
negotiation that surrounds snob transactions. Such reports
are like the scriptural virgins — some are wise and some are
foolish. Of the latter class is the statement Ihat Mr. Kobert
Bonner has paid, or offered to pay, $50,000 for SunoJ, the
famous two-year-old tilly by Electioneer, that made a record
of 2:18 last fall. I have the best authority for saying that
Mr. Bonner has made no such offer, nor has he contemplated
su oh an offer, though it is perhaps true that some negotia-
tion looking to her purchase has been had. It is possible
that Senator Stanford may value her as highly as the figure
named would indicate, and indeed she may some day be
fairly worth it, but such a price for a two-year old, even for
so wonderful a filly as Sunol, is beyond reason. An owner
such as Senator Stanford might reasonably refuse to sell at
that price or at any other price, but it would be a different
matter to buy at so extravagant a figure. If Snnol fulfills
the promise of her early youth, she may surpass the record
of Maud S., when she reaches maturity. She is perhaps
more likely to lower the record than any other animal
living, and should she do so sue would, if she remained
sound, be fairly worth $50,000 or more. For Maud S. Mr.
Bonner paid $40,000, and it was understood that she was
worth more money. Mr. Vauderbilt sold her to Mr. Bonner
at a reduced price, because he was assured that she would not
be campaigned, and be therefore wisbed her to go into Mr.
Bonner's stable. At tbe time of the sale tho mare's record
was some seconds slower than it is at present. It is possible
that Mr. Bonner may buy Sunol. but it is safe to say tbat
be will not pay $50,000 for ber until she shows more clearly
than she has vet done ability to beat 2:0Sk

Mr. Allen, tbe wealthy aud enterprising breeder of Pitts-
field, Mass., will have a mile track built upon his farm nest
season iu the form of a figure eight. He recently offered
Woodbum Farm $15,000 cash for a bliy by Electioneer out of
the dam of Maud S. 2:08$.

CHAPTER XI.

CURRENTS AND SHALLOWS.

Owing lo this arrangement of keeping together, the after-
noon did not copy the morning, bnt gave new stimulus to
the aDglers for their bent work. Rivalry between them was
scarcely possible, because Philip was too gallant and Erl too
ehy, yet both were human enough to enjoy any little ascend-
ency that might be gained without sacrifice of pleasurable
feeling. Erl had much advantage in her knowledge of the
stream, but she would never have been contented with a
buccpss that came through seln"shuesj, and so turned the de-
sirable pools over to Philip as regulirly and fairly as if a
good t*ke might be had wherever a line could be cast. Her
kindnesB in this direction might as well have been spared,
for Philip's luck had turned against him, and he was at Jast
reduced to the necessity cf asking what flies she found most
effective.

"None." came the dampening reply, "I have been doing

my best for two hours, and ten tish are all I have to show."

She was standing beside somo tall lily stems on her way to

a ripple above of which she expected nothing, and therefore

might be excused for lack of enthusiasm.

"That's wonderful, from my standpoint," he said gloJinily,
"I have averaged just one an hoar."
Erl laughed, looking like a happy fay among the green.
"Perhap3 you had better take to the shore, where papa and
Nestor are," she said, the sparkle which had done sj much
execution again finding its way to her eyes.

"Stay where you are and I will," he auswered, beginning
to reel in his line.

"No, no! I must fish!" The merriment vanished at once,
and she was rta'yto be gone. 'My flies are red palmer,
blue dun spider and yellow dan."

"Mine exactly," he called after her, as she darted forward
through the brush.

Conscientious fishing, like conscientious everything else,
ia3low and carefnl work; for, on the way the water ib ap-
proached and whipped depends at leist one-half of the
hoped-for return! Not that good fishermen are always suc-
cessful, any more than poor ones are the reverse, as some-
times, right on the same stream and in the same weather, an
angler will have experiences that baffle wisdom, science, and
the most prolonged and patient effort. At first he rejoices in
an astonishing run of luck, and Inter becomes disgusted by
a total lack of it; and tries to figure out causes. He asks
himself whether the food proposition Is thrusting itself up
again, and wonders if a dearth in one stretch of water and a
surplus in another, would account for the difference, or if
the ohaoge may be due to periods of feeding. "Water condi-
tions next offer themselves, and he carefully studies one pool
after another, only to finally conclude that the trouble is
unnecessary, because all are so much alike. Shade and
light now confront him, and he becomes confident that dark
stretches are the best, only to lure his next trout from a
shallow on which the snn shines brightly.

"All of which goes to prove," sai i Philip, as he moved
cautiously up to a place where the water eddied round the
end of a partially submerged tree,— "All of which goes to
prove that there are many things unknown to me yet."

Ever since Erl's departure he had been turning propositions
something after the pattern of the ones recorded, over and
ov«r in his mind, without deriving ease or paotit, and was
about ready to concede himself vanquished, when he cast
into the water before him and drew out a trout. From this
on sport was excellent, and the next time he met Erl he
lifted up the cover and showed her a basket evenly fall.

"I fear you are a sorcerer," Bhe said. "Since our last
conference I have taken but three."

"Half of mine aro yours if you will." He kept his basket
open and took up a handful of the fish.

"It seems to me that in sport as well as other things each
one should stand on his own merits," she answered, looking
down, "and I am not yet ready to confess myself the poorer
fisherman." .

"Hib and man. I see you are advanced enough in thought
to maintain your own position." The fish dropped down
among their fellows, the basket shut and was turned back to
its place as Philip stepped aside and asked her to test the
next ripple. . .

Long, ragged masses of purple were beginning to settre in
among the hollows of the canyon when she drew out the one
solitary little trout her flieB attracted, and ever and again the
whizzing voice of the saw-mill came to »varn them that their
sport for to-day was at an end, unless they choose to 6eek the
lesser stream a little higher up that threw its waters into the

Mr. Selden had evidently decided against this, for they
found him Bitting in an improvised chair of greeu foliage,
nearly opposite the mill, where Nestor was renewing acquaint-
ance with a mischievous black Newfoundland puppy.

"I am given over to tears, papa," said Erl, splashing along
through the water. "Mr. "Wells has a splendid basket, and
mine is not quite half full; see!"

She held her basket open and Mr. Selden laaghed quietly,
but in a way that testified much secret gratification. From a
perfect understanding of his daughter's character he knew it
would not do to permit this to become too apparent, so he
nicked up his own little basket, which he said was like a
young mind where everything had gotten into a state of con-
fnsioD and commenced arranging it, at the same time making
a place for Philip and Erl on either side of him, and suggest-
ing that they take their rods apart.

■«Oh what for, papa?" asked Erl. "I always prefer wait-
ing until I get home to do that." She looked at Philip, who
felt in&t the same, and who did Dot hesitate to abet her by

DO"Perhapa I made a mistake then," said Mr. Selden, still
intent on his ferns and lichens, "but I told Mrs. Morrison to
have the hoises meet us opposite here on the road, aDd I
scarcely think Wolfgang will put up with your rod." He
sDoke gently as usual, and Erl at once felt her error.

"Did you!" she exclaimed, springing to her feet and kisBing
him "Soma day, Papa, maybe 1 shall learn what you have
so often told me about conceding reason ground to others."

Her humility was genuine, and therefore attractive, but
Philip liked the impulsiveness better, though he pretended
to be so busy getting his rod into a close canvas case as not
to be aware of either.

"Where is your case. Miss Selden?" he asked, and tnrned
to assist her.

"That is more iban I can say. Papa, dia you think of a

"Yes dear, I generally do when I think of you," said Mr.
Seller* without the least suspicion that his reply might be
interpreted in a manner he did not intend.

His innocence and Erl's preoccupation warned Philip that
a smile would be entirely out of place, so he took the gape

from Mr. Selden, and while getting the small tips of the rod
in, asked, irrelevantly, if they did not consider the mill a
great blot on tbe beauty of the woods.

"Oh my, yes! And in a few years it will be a miserable
ruin. How many things of the kind there are from ooe end
of California to the other! Not mills alone, but dummies of
every sort of unfruitful enterprise left standing, perhaps as a
warning to others who have more ambition than brains, or
executive ability — to let such things alone.

Mr. Selden stopped abruptly and looked confused, fearirjg
he had spoken lightly of what were serious things to those
they had impoverished or robbed of manhood's most vigor-
ous impulses. And by way of amendment he called Philip's
attention to a huge log t at was ready to be made into
boards.

"Yes, " said Philip, unable through his severely practical
quality to judge of all the thoughts that swayed the older
man. "Yes, it must be either boBrJs or trees. I hate to see
the trees go, bat we must have boards." He had put away
the rods ani was making a wr- ath of ferns and wild roses.

A trivial thing to be about! I grant it, serious reader, but
have you never engaged in some eqoally light pursuit when
no spring day was long enough to measure your happiness?
If not, then a corner of your heart lies fallow, and you are
not quite capa1 le of sympathizing with the eager impulse
that ma le Philip hold the wreath out to Erl. She took it
from him, and without awaiting any suggestion slipped it
round the crown of her hat and arose to call Nestor. Philip
"v&b jnat a trifle disappointed, though what sort of demonstra-
tion he had expected was not quite clear even in his own
mind.

"Do yon feel equal lo our climb now," asked Mr. Selden,
taking up his trowel and basket, and beckoning to Erl.

"Qnite," answered Philip readily, and in Erl's absence
proceeded to load himself down with her things.

They crossed a shallow of the stream and found a close
trail by which egress coold be had from the labyrinth of
brown stems and green leaves without other inconvenience
than the occasional loss of a hat, or damaging of a coat. Mr.
Selden went first as one more able to guide; then came
Philip following closely, and behind him Eri and Nestor —
the latter kept at a safe distance because of his dampneBS.
For Erl it was a surprising experience to have all the rude
briars held aside, and to be helped over every Btone and
fallen limb. Of how to exact such attentions she understood
nothing, which only made Philip more ready to offer them.
And h»-r shy, sweet acceptance seemed to him so like what he
knew of poetry and romance that he wished for more unruly
brauches to hold aside.

I am quite sure Mr. Se'den would have condemned this
visit, and not solbly on account of his daughter, for the
climb was long and exhausting enough without the additional
tiring, and they W6re compelled to pause more than once
before reaching the top of the ridge. A height gained is,
however, a satisfaction, and I think Philip was equally glad
with Erl and her father when they could rest and try to catch
a glimpse of the stream that appeared to run a silent coarse
at the foot of the canyon walls, or hurl a sto*ie iu among the
fluttering leaves and listen as it strack the rocks below.

The trail by which they had come up lost itself in the road
nearly opposite two rough, unpainted cottages, with low
porches and dirty windows, that had the appearance of hav-
ing built themselves in a night. Some very thin beos and a
frowsy rooster disputed the front yard — which seemed com-
mon to both — with a black cat, a large-framed woman peered
from the small window of the cottage nearest the trail, and
passed comments on our friends.

"I reckoned they'd be along soon, Jane Gilbert," she said
to a very stout companion who rocked slowly back and forth
over some soiled 'crochet, "That young man's a stranger,
pears like. Leastwise I aint never set eyes on him before."
"Nor I," said her companion, dropping the crochet in her
chair and coming over to the window.

"Ho'b right good lookin' too, Nancy Tanner, though he
don't appear to bo much on the dress. "Where do you reckon
that imp of a Tommy's put off to with them horseB?
'Twonldu't more'n serve Rob right if they'd cleared plumb
out. Sech a moonin' no account chap I never allowed to cee!
I'm right glad they got shut of him over to the mill."

Mrs Gilbert, yoa see, shared the universal opinion of poor
Rob, whose weak wit never served him a worse turn than in
calling oat her enmity, for Bhe had a tongue — her husband
said— that would blister a callous.

Both women nursed ill-feeling towards Mrs. Morrison, not
on account of any evil she had done, for in sickness or
trouble she was first to come and last to go,' but because,
against olds that wonld have discouraged any one else, she
achieved more success in life than they thought she des-
erved. In this they were not so exceptional as would at first
seem to appear, Bince sympathy with success is one of the
rare qualities that form part of a broad nature, and broad
natures are not met with every day. So much indeed may
be said for these neighbors, if their natures are taken into ac-
count, that I will only defend them by saying they were half
unconscious of their own feeling, and did not understand or
even seek to understand why it was so much easier to find
fault with than to praise Mr. Selden's housekeeper. And
when Mrs . TauDer, on getting a good view of Erl, exclaimed,
"Pears like Mrs. Morrison ought to hev better sense than
to let Eri Selden go round in short clothes," it was more in
obedience to the small stinging feeling that continually irri-
tated her than because her womanhood felt any particular
shock.

Mrs. Gilbert, still at the window, rolled her eyes and clasped
her hands exactly as Mrs. Morrison had fancied, but forgot
whatever sentiments she bad intended to express, through
interest in the conference taking place outside.

Tommy, barefooted and smiling as usual, had made a jump
from the bank, a short distance up the road, and after show-
ing Mr. Sulden where the hordes were tied, gave Erl a handle.
"ADd I believe iu my h^art, NaDcy Tanner, she's comin'
right fur this yer house. Yep, she is. 'Twont do to show
myself in this dirty calico. Don't let it upset you, now. I'll
come back the minute she's gone."

PickiDg up her crochet, and again warning Mrs. Tanner
not to be upset, as though that easy-going creature was likely
to dance a hornpipe or tarn a somersault, she went out of
the back door when Erl was kaooking at the front.

Mrs. Tanner opened the door slowly, and assumed an air
of surprise, calculated to convince anybody that she had
been in the kitchen until that very moment. Erl was in-
stantly snre Bhe had taken her from some task, and felt her-
self a nuisance.

"Come in, Miss Selden, come in. Right glad to see you.
Out alone?" Mrs. Tanner's tone was hearty and her manner
cordial.

"Oh. no indeed," said Erl; "papa and a gentleman are
with me. I came over to ask you, Mrs. TaDoer"— blushing
and smiling — (l f I might put on my riding-skirt and shoes in
here. Auntie Morrison sent them; she is always so good."

'"Deed you can, Miss Selden. Come right into my bed-
room."

She would have liked very well to have said something
derogatory of Mrs. Morrison's goodness; but once differing
with Erl on that subject always taught people never to try it
agaiD, and Mrs. Tanner had learned 6ome discretion doring
her forty odd years of life, and knew a proverb or two about
quarrelling with her bread and butter.

Erl looked very much larger in the ridiDg-skirt and jacket,
and her hat with the wreath of drooping roses made the large
eyes beneath its rim seem darker and of more intense ex-
pression.

Mrs. Tanner was greatly impressed, and could not resist
telling her she seemed more like a young lady in a long
dress.

"I hope young ladies are more comfortable than I Bhall be
until I get on my horse," said Erl ia reply.

She had tied her boots up in a small bundle, and standing
with them and her rod in hand, she asked many kind ques-
tions about the children, who were with their father at the
mill, spoke of the changes which had occurred there, and
hoped they would be for tbe better, then bade Mrs. Tanner
good-bye warmly, and went out to mount Wolfgang.

He was standing beside a low stump, tossing his head, and
looking anxiously toward the cottage.

"Nice old horse," Erl said, patting him, all unconscious of
Nestor's jealous eyes. "Be good now, and carry my things
as you should."

Again and again his head went round, while she and her
father were arranging the little extras on his back; but his
full look of pride did not come until Erl was seated in the
saddle, and Nestor stood waiting near.

"And now, Tommy, what disposition ie to be made of
you," said Mr. Selden, noticing that Philip was ready to
start.

"I'm goin' home in the wagon with father. Rob's over
there." His face was a mixture of merriment and phyness,
and his reply rather indefinite, but Mr. Selden mounted Jerry
and told the little fellow to scamper eff then and not near
the creek.

"No, sir, I won't," and vanished as they were starting.
Riding was an agreeable change after their many and con-
tinued tramps that added to the enjojnient of warmth, melody
and fragrance, surronnding them like a charmed atmosphere.
The part of country through which they passed waB wild,
but had. too, that appealing luxuriance common to the Coast
Range of mouotaius, and in such marked contrast to the
dignified stateliness of the Sierra.

To their right rose high ridges, broken occasionally
by small clearings on which fruit and berries attained ideal
excellence; and to their left tbe forest bent to the course of
the LoreDzo, and once or twi e a wide belt of woods invited
them to leave the roads and enjoy its quiet shade.

A tall flume used for floating lumber, also followed the
course of the stream, and is they rode close to it Mr. Selden
said the worst part of their journey was over, which greatly
surprised Philip who thought they had innch further to go;
but as the horses were fresh they had riddeD at a good gait,
and before five o'clock were within a few paces of the hotel.
Mr. Selden's business made it necessary for him to stop
here again, and Philip and Erl had decided to ride on and
wait near the turn of the road, but as they drew nearer, p.be
called attention to a lady who was standing on the verandah.
Philip looted up quickly and bit his lip.

"I hope you will excuse me for a moment," he said raising
his hat and turning his horse's head. "That's my sister
Rachel." Petronella.

THE KENNEL.

Sixth Annual Trials of the Pacific Coast Field
Trials Club.

Two old darkies matched to guess the best thing to eat,
aDd the first guesser suggested "baked 'possum and 'taters."
The other one quit with the remark, "There's nothing more
to guess, " and a Bimilar remark might be made of the sixth
trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club which began on
January 14th and closed on the ISth. In a seDse this last
meeting may be said to be really tbe beginning of the growth
of the club. The four earlier trials were held on different
grounds each year, no one of which presented jexcelleocea
enough to justify using it a second time. At Wall town
Timber the first year, there was too little cover and too many
trees. In the second year at White Rnck the same objections
were made. The third trial, near Olemn, were run in a
drizzle, through high cover, and were well calculated to make
even the most enthusiastic lose interest. In the fourth year
the contest was run off od the boundless pampas about Han-
ford, where cover was scarce, birds scarcer, and the dryness
and heat almost prohibitory of good work. The fifth trials
held at Bakersfield were run under general conditions qnite
favorable, and were satisfactory as to climatic conditions,
around, cover and birds, although the lack of acquaintance
with the using places of the covies made it a little tiresome
at times.

Bakersfield offered so many advantages that it was settled
upon as the permanent home of the club, around which
traditions will linger, and legends cling as they do about
High Point, Grand Junction and Fisher's Island.

Bakersfield is quite the ideal resort tor sportsmen. The
town is situ'ited about midway between the northern and
, southern centers of population, is upon the trunk line of the
Southern Pacific Railroad; has tine hotel accommodations,
good water, perfectly healthful sewerage, vast expanses of
the best quail gronud in America lying all about it, and last,
though by no means least, has an appreciation of sportsmen
and a willingness to contribute to the success of field trials
that entitles it to the favorable consideration of the guild
everywhere. Until January, 1SS8. there were but three or
four" sportsmen resident in Bakersfield, but they were men of
rare qualities, keen, energetic, uasellish, kindly and fully
alive to the interests of their visiting brethren. The little
knot of local lovers of th* gnn, Mr. W. E. Hough or, Mr. H.
L. Borgwardt, Mr. C. E. Lechner. Mr. Richar I Seymour, Mr.
Mr. D. M. Pyle, I. L. Miller and Mr. D. A. Leouurd, at once
set about forming a sportsman's c'ub, and the Knights of tbe

Special Notice to Correspondents.

An Act to Restrict Gaming.

Under the above heading, on page 54, will be found
the Act presented in both houses a few days ago. "We
did uot see it in time to give a critical review this week,
through from a hasty reading it appears to be just what
is wasted.

A New Method to Dress Horses.

At the solicitation of many of our readers, the extract
from the Duke of Newcastle's book is literally copied,
excepting in the type. It is doubtful if the exact re-
production of the type of the Seventeenth Century
could be got now; certainly not without entailing a
large outlay. The facsimiles given will show the pecu-
liar letters in vogue at that time.

Matrimonial.

Saturday last, at the residence of the editor of this
paper, in Oakland, Miss A. L. "Wilson was married to
Robert Bruce James, the officiating clergyman being
the Rev. Dr. Horton of ihe First Presbyterian Church.
The mother of the bride, Mrs. W. H. Wilson of Cynth-
iana, Ky., was present and a few friends. Mrs. James
has severed her connection with the Breeder and
Sportsman, and with ber husband will engage in stock-
raising in Monterey county. "We have little hesitation
in predicting a successful result, as there are few men
who have as intimate a knowledge of trotting horses as
the female partner of the firm. That they may meet
with great and uniform success is our sincere desire.

Letters intended for publication should reach this office
not later than "Wednesday of each week, to secure a place in

The Daily Press.

Now that the daily press of San Francisco, and the
papers published elsewhere in California, have made
joint cause against indiscriminate pool selling and book-
making, there is nearly a certainty of the passage of a
controlling act. Still it will not answer to depend
entirely on that, the justice of the cause, and the support
of ninety-five per ceut. of the bast citizens, as action as
well as moral support is requisite to ensure victory. The
presentation by Mr. Couklin of a bill to prohibit the con-
troller from drawing wanants to aid the State society
unless the president and secretary make affidavits that
pool-e illing or gambling has not been allowed on the
State Fair grounds, is in the interest of the San Francisco
room )- Mr. Conklin may not be aware of the effect it

ii iiave, and has been bamboozled into the belief that
V \ s acting ou the principles of high morality, but we

■ill venture to say that directly or indirectly he has been
-1 to forward the schemes of the pool lobby.

A Queer Typographical Error.

A change from plural to singular was the occasion of
a queer error in the General Topic columns of last week,
in the paragraph which gave an account of Mark
McGuire and John Murphy's contest on Fleetwood.
The sentence was written, "By that time it was nearly
dark, a kind of dense twilight, with a few pale, twinkling
stars; scarcely as much light, as there would be when
the sky was fully ablaze with the far-distant suns." A
pencil mark through the last letter, s, with a cor-
responding sign in the margin of the "proof," converted
suns into sun, and the myriad of twinkling orbs were
transferred to the grand governor of the day, which de-
stroyed the allusion. As astronomers concur in the
opinion that fixed stars are suns, the plural was appro-
priate.

Buckley on the Right Side.

In an article which appeared in the Chronicle of "Wed .
nesday it is stated that Buckley will not oppose the pro-
gress of the pool bill which has been presented, when he
learns that a large number of people are interested in it
becoming a law. From our high opinion of Mr. Buck-
ley's ability, that opinion having been expressed two
weeks ago, and we may add every word printed being
our sincere belief in the correctness of the estimate, we
anticipated his concurrence in the necessity of reform.

From being deprived of eyesight Mr. Buckley is not
in a position to become fully acquainted with the bear-
ing that pool-selling and "booking" has on trottiug and
racing, and, consequently he has to depend upon what
he hears. From being on intimate terms of friendship
with some of our prominent bookmakers, their side of
the controversy would be presented fully, while the con-
tra could only be gathered at a great disadvantage.

But the blindness of actual vision is, in a manner,
overcome by the faculty of keen perception, and what
may be termed an intuitive knowledge of the course it
is politic to pursue.

Mr. Buckley is credited with the control of twenty,
two votes, which probably means that twenty and two
members of the Legislature would depend upon his guid-
ance, accept his reasoning as having more potency than
their individual judgement. This concession may be
granted from good motives, and we trust that the influ-
ence is due to an acquiescence in superior ability, and
not (as is generally believed) from the stimulus of mon_
eyed considerations. The wisest men seek counsel. A
man who is well posted on a majority of human affairs
may be entirely at a loss when he is called upon to de-
cide on others which have not been studied, and in that
case he will be guided by the opinion of those who have
more knowledge. In regard to the pool-selling bill, the
first impression among those who were not acquainted
with the affair was that it was a strife between the lessees
of the Bay District and Oakland tracks and the proprie-
tors of the rooms.

This impression would naturally govern Mr. Buckley,
until he learned that it was altogether erroneous. When
agitation arousesa feeling whoreby the opinions of thou-
sands are made known, when it is fully proved that
every prominent breeder of horses is in favor of throw-
ing off the load which is crushing their industry, when
nearly every mau who attends races ftftd. fairs unites in

the supplication that redress may be provided, when
the best citizens of town and country signify their ap-
proval of remedial action, it cannot be otherwise than
that a man who has the quick perception of Mr. Buckley
Bhould realize the true situation. Should he oppose the
bill when sanctioned and sustained by such powerful
auxiliaries, the report that he had a moneyed interest in
perpetuating the evil will have additional force;
strengthened by corroborative testimony, Mr. Buckley
has, beyond doubt, been accused of many shortcomings
of which he was innocent. As we have had his charac-
ter described, he wonld be more likely to be influenced
by the desire to protect his friends' interests than for his
own emolument, lie would not be the power he is had
selfishness been his governing principle. A mere divis-
ion of spoils might attract to his standard mercenary
cohorts, whom it would not take long to clamor for en-
larged subsidies, and be ready at a moment's warning to
desert his ranks to join the enemy.

Bad as human nature may be there are stronger ties
than those which are founded on the love of lucre
Money alone cannot induce respect and esteem, and
thoug'i it has been emphasized as the lever which moves
the world, while that may be true in a general sense*
there are microcosms in which it loses its power.

"We had faith from the first agitation that when Mr.
Buckley became conversant with the true state of affairs
that iu place of being in opposition he would support
the bill when presented to the Legislature, aud we have
full confidence in the report. "With that gained there is
nothing to fear, and even as great a corporation as the
"Western Union Telegraph Company will be powerless.

The Great Danger.

Should a bill regulating poolselling and bookmakino-
come before the Legislature so that there will be an op-
portnuity for argument, there is not a question of it oe-
ing passed by such a majority in both houses as will
gratify every well-wisher of honest sport. But the dan-
ger lies in strangling it by methods which are well
known to those who manipulate legislation, and the
main efforts will be directed to keeping it in the back-
ground, and not permit a chance whereby a fair hear-
ing will be obtained. Should these be the tactics adopted
to kill the much-needed act, the legislators who lend
themselves to the scheme will have to stand the brunt.
Members cannot evade the obloquy by claiming that
they were only the puppets, while others pulled the
strings; the responsibility will fall on their shoulders,
and there can only be one of two explanations: either an
interest in suppression, or with judgment so feeble as to
be controlled by the weakest of arguments.

"We hope to learn before this number goes to press tbat
a bill has. been introduced and referred to a committee,
the members of which have the confidence of the public.
"We have been informed that the bill which will be pre-
sented was prepared by an eminent jurist, so that there
is scarcely a chance fcr faults in construction or a lack
of legal perspicacity. From what we have heard of the
points contained, it will be satisfactory to those who are
the most interested in the passage of the bill, and with-
out any grounds for opposition excepting those which
are inspired by mercenary motives.

Needed Space-

There is no necessity for apologizing to our readers for
the space occupied in the Breeder akd Sportsman of
this week in discussing the pool question, by all odds
the most momentous issue that has a bearing on the
breeding of fast horses, and which has a direct interest
to a large majority of our readers. Even those who at-
tend the fairs and races, but never buy a pool or wager
a dollar, should take an interest in the discussion, and
lend their support. The question is not intricate. Under
the present system turf sports are handicapped with a
weight which cannot be carried, and declarations of non-
acceptance will come from every quarter. The evik
which are directly due to the prevailing custom will, if
not checked, induce well-meaning men to vote against
pool-selling and bookmaking under -any circumstances,
and then a blow will be struck similar in effect to tbat
which nearly broke up the turf when supported by the
immense population of New York. Under the Ives bill,
which legalizes pool-selling and bookmaking on the
grounds of associations, there has been a revival of inter-
est, and at no former period has the Eastern turf been
in so flourishing a condition as it was the past season.
New York State, or rather the inhabitants, have not so
much at stake as the people of California. There are
not as many race-horses bred in the whole State of New
York as are turned out from Raucho del Paso, and
though there are several large establishments where faBt'
trotters are the aim, the whole of them combined dp no
equal what Palo Alto has accomplished,

Horse Interests in California.

Residents of California have a proper pride in
the manifold resources of their country. Not far
wrong when the assertion is made that in no other part
of the world of like extent can a parallel be found. Al
the metals gold, silver, copper, iron, etc., the grandest
forests on the globe, the most productive soil for all the
cereals, lands which excel for the culture of every
kind of fruit outside of varieties confined to the tropics-
Thirty-nine years ago the prevailing impression was that
gold was all there was to base prosperity upon, and
when the mines gave out the only resources would be
the herds and flocks of early days, when the missions
absorbed the income of the country. Wheat toppled
King Oro and Queen Argo from the throne, and vineB
and fruits threaten another revolution, after which
Pomona and Bacchus will sway the sceptre.

"When we came to California, April 1874, and for two
or three years thereafter, it was the general opinion that
the East was the only section where fine horses could be
purchased. At that time Mr. L. J. Rose was the only
breeder cf trotters who was engaged in producing them
on a scale at all to be compared with eastern farms, and
Sunny Slope, fifteen years ago, was scarcely a "marker"
for Kosemeade at the present time. Since then, Palo
Alto, Del Paso, San Mateo Stock Farm, Cook Farm, L.
U. Shippee, Irvin Ayres, Pleasan'on Stock Farm, G.
Valensin, The Eeavis' Stud, and several smaller estab-
lishments have been organized, while outside of the
places which are engaged in producing trotters, there
are least twenty times as many people, who breed on a
minor scale, than could be counted ten years back.

There must be at least two million dollars invested in
the horse departmant of Palo Alto and Gjvernor Stan-
ford's Vina Ranch. The trotting stock at Rancho Del Paso
represent a large amount, while Mr. Corbitt, Mr. Rose,
Mr. Salisbury, Mr. Valensin, Mr. Cook, and some others
have a big capital employed in the production of fast
harness horses.

Great as has been the increase in trotting stock, it
does not equal the kindred branch of rearing thorough-
breds. Tb/;re are good grounds for the statement that
Rancho Del Paso exceeds any other breeding establish-
ment in the world for numbers and with quality in
keeping with its magnitude. Palo Alto is so far ir> the
lead in trotters ihat comparison is out of the question,
and therefore California contains the two greatest farms
of both hemispheres, in the line of production of the
most valuable horses. When to these are added the
stock held in smaller lots the aggregate will swell the sum
total into huge proportions, and it is also within bounds
to assert that on the basis of comparative population
California has more capital invested in breeding, rearing
and training horses than any other section ot the country.
That these great interests shall be sacrificed in order
that a few men may gather in the dollars of a credulous
public; that a telegraph company shall add to their
receipts at the expense of so large and influential body of
citizens, is too absurd a proposition for any man of ordin-
ary judgment to sanction.

Owners of horses are not the only persons who have
large interests at stake. There are a greater number of
race courses and trotting tracks which are a mile in cir-
cuit in California than can be counted in any other one
of the United States. As a rule they are more thoroughly
equipped than those of the East which are located out-
aide of the large cities. Owners and breeders of all
other kinds of live stock, agriculturists, horticulturists,
mechanics, in fact, all who exhibit at our State and dis-
trict fairs are concerned in the passage of a law which
will protect that department of our exhibitions v: hich
enables the managers to give large premiums for all
classes of exhibitors, than otherwise could be offered.
Poolsellers, and bookmakers on events which take place
outside of California, their clerks and employes, and the
telegraph companies, are the only recipients of the'profits
which accrue from the business as it is now carried on.
Rooms which are used to sell pools and lay wagers could
be rented for other purposes, so that the loss from the
suppression would fall on a few individuals. "The
greatest good to the greatest number" is the motto
which should influence men to whom the making of laws
is delegated. If our Legislators be governed by this
guide (which can be termed an axiom), there will be a
thousand, yes ten thousand benefited by poolselling and
bookmaking under proper restrictions to each individual
that is injured.

Restriction or Prohibition.

We have been informed that the "bookmakers" of
San Francisco threaten that if there is any likelihood of
a bill similar to the Ives bill going through at this ses-
sion of the legislature they will join their forces to those
of the "unco gude," and have a law passed abolishing
pool selliag and bookmaking entirely. Although our
informant had full faith in the accuracy of his informa-
tion as it came to him at second hand, and it may have
been third or fourth from what was claimed to be the
original source, we place very little faith in the intelli-
gence being at all worthy of credit. Some such story
may have been originated to frighten those who are
immediately interested in the sports of the track from
attacking their business, but that there is a siDgle person
connected with the rooms, or at least having a proprie-
tary interest in them, who would pursue such a course
3S that implied by the menace is so absurd that a
few lines will be sufficient to prove that it is a mere
bogle to scare those who are easily shaken. Men who
have a tithe of the sense which is possessed by every
bookmaker we are acquainted with, are not likely to
stultify themselves to gratify a whim. They have a
valuable property to protect, and unquestionably will do
all in their power to prevent the passage of a bill which
will render their property compara'ively valueless. But
when it comes to decide between a total loss and one
which does not entirely wipe out their privileges, they
are too shrewd to throw away a loaf of bread for no
better reason than that the pie and cake have been con-
sumed in the fire.

Then again, the threat implies that they have influence
enough to sway a number of members into the very op-
posite of what they have advocated. Lst us illustrate
hypotheticUly. A bill is before the Legislature to re-
strict poolselling and bookmaking to the tracks of hona
fide associations. There will be arguments for aud
against the passage, those who oppose it claiming that it
is not necessary to restrict, and that pool and bettiug
rooms Kept open from January 1st to January 1st again
are in no wise an evil, and should not be disturbed by
legislative enactments. What kind of a position will
these advocates be in when their next reasoning is? Un-
limited pool-selling and bookmaking is not an evil. No
matter if there is a pool-room in every block; no matter
if sharks, who are envious of the profits which reputable
men are making, should determine to take a hand, it is
all right. But the same thing, when pursued und^r
legal restric*ions, when it is under the surveillance of
men who have the breeding interests of the State at
heart, when taken away from localities where tempta-
tion is hourly placed before changing throngs to a sit-
uation not so handy, and when an outlay is necessary to
participate, when only a few days during the season can
be occupied, in lieu of 313 days, while the earth is nak-
ing its annual revolution, it is altogether bad; and must
be abrogated. We will travel from here to Sacramento
to get one good look at a man who will place himself in
such a position, as we cannot imagine what sort of a
genius it would be to possess the necessary qualifications
for the job. An old story, and not a bad one at that, re-
counts the escapade of a famous advocate who had for-
gotten which side of the case he had to argue, and after
the evidence was in, presented, not his client's interest,
but those of the opposition, and with reasoning, too, so
powerful as to be unanswerable. When made aware of
the blunder, he had the tact to turn it to account by re-
marking to the jury, "I have now presented the other
side as forcibly as it can be given, and now I will prove
to you how weak the best arguments which can be
offered really are." He kept his word, tearing down the
house he had built with so much care, and traditions
say that he gained the case, which his client thought
had "not the ghost of a show." Able as he proved him-
self to be, so thoroughly apt in his profession that he
could gain either side he advocated, were he a member
of the present Legislature of California he would see
the utter uselessness of convincing people that black is
white to-day and. black again to-morrow.

A New Race Track.

Santa Monica has alwayB been the favorite winter resort of
Los Angeles residents, and generally speaking the pretty little
town haB kept pace in its attractions offered to summer
visitors with the older resorts on the Atlanlio coast, Bays the
Lob Angeles Tribune. There is everything there in fact, to
make time pass pleasantly, bat heretofore tbe town has 'not
attempted to inaugurate a summer racing season, *uch as
forms bo large a feature in the life of Coney Island and Long
Branch.

Nest summer this will be remedied, for the people of Santa
Monica are even now taking the preliminary steps for the
formation of a raoing association and the laying out of a mile
track superior to any in Southern California. Senator Jones
and Colonel Baker have agreed to donate laDd for this pur-
pose, aud the track will probably be very < lose to the bejch
upon the flat north of the town. Such an institution will
double Santa Monica's attractions particularly if the associa-
tion is put in the hands t f men wtjo will secure the best
borsegto participate io the races.

Palo Alto, Jan. 23, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I Dote the letter of Mr.
L. J. Rose in the issue of last week, suggesting that 1 cull a
meeting ot the representatives of the various fair associations
that dates may be satisfactorily arranged for tbe coming year.
We, did this last year, and it was supposed that the anauge-
njent of dates fixed at that convention was for all time aud to
the satisfaction of all, provided the State Fair was set later.
This objection has been removed by the Board of Agriculture
setting tbe Stale Fair one week later. This gives au oppor-
tunity for the same anangement as last year, and m the hume
order with the only objection removed. I think, however, it
would be very easy for San Diego and Los Angeles to arrange
theirs satisfactory to themselves, and that will make it
satisfactory to all. Th reby saving a great deal of expense in
the calling of a new conventicn. Yours respectfully,

L. TJ. Shippee.

Advertising Notices.

Mr. J. O'Kane of 767 Market Street, San Francisco, has a
large assortment of horse boots and tort goods of all sorts,
which for durability and excellence of make are uni quailed.
Tho e who are unable to call should send for an illustrated
pamphlet and price list, to become convinced that Mr. O'Kane
will not be undersold.

There is always a demaud far first class trotting stallions,
and those who desire to secure one now should read tne
advertisement of Killip & Co., auctioneer-), 22 Montgomery
street. They have had two placed with tbem for sale, and
are willing to take very reasonable tigures for either. Intend-
ing purchasers should see these desirable stallions.

W. F. Smith of Sacramento, has three standard mares for
sale, any one of which would grace the large breeding farms
of California. The prices at which they are off red place
them within the reacn ot all. Tbe advertisement given the
pedigree of the mares, and also the price at which th«-y cau
be bought.

"Ossidine" is a preparation so is ell known, that it is hardly
necessary to mention the marvelous cures which have
resulted from its us-e. S. A. Browne <fe Co., of the Kalamazoo
Farm, Mr. F. Gebhard, of Lake County, and others, vouch
for its value and curative properties in the present number
of tbeBREEUKR and Si'oktsman. H. M.Moore & Sods, uf
Stockton, have been appointed agents for the Pacific Coast.

Donnelly, Dunne & Co, advertise the services of the thor-
oughbred stallion Judge McKinstry A glance at the pedi-
gree will convince anyone that this son of Grinstead is
highly bred, and without doubt he will be well patronized.
Matt Storn says that Judge McKinstry was the fastest colt
he ever saw mn over the Sacramento crack, a-D assertion
which is endorsed by niin}' others.

The now famous thoroughbred stallion, Three Cheers, is
announced as usual this week, for service during the corning
season. Since the colt Almont made his wonderful nights
of speed at Sacramento, Three Cheers has been in great de-
mand, and already his book is nearly full for the season of
"89." Another of his get, Applause, is a noted racehorse,
and has won several stake events, while Why Not, a
daughter, is also a stake winner.

Begarding the large Real Estate Sale advertised on the
last page of this issue, some few items in relation to the
"Buena Vista" seem to be in order. The following, clipped
from the "Alta" of January 1st, covers tbe ground so thor-
oughly that we reproduce it. We cheerfully commend the
firm of Briggs, Fergnsson & Co., knowing them to be reli-
able and honorable.

No more fertile valley can be found in all the length and
breadth of this beautiful State than that through which the
Salinas River winds its devious way. The strong, fertile
soil produces rich and succulent grasses. Since the raising
of stock has been subordinated to agriculture, it has been
no uncommon event for the traveler to ride continuously in
a grain field for twenty-five miles, where the stalks would
reach on an average to the height of the buggy wheels, with
patches of mustard from eight to ten feet high. It is in this
wonderfully fertile locality that an opportunity for invest-
ment now presents itself, which is unusual in the advanta-
geous terms offered.

To any one but a Californian the stories told of the capacity
of the Boilin this State often appear exaggerated and utterly
incredible, but not a Bingle statement is made in this article
which can not be readily proved, and, indeed the proofs
will be cheerfully furnished. With this guarantee in mind a
few facts about the Baeua Vista Rancho will be read with
interest. The famous ranch of 7,725 acres is located on the
west side of the Salinas river, at the foot of Santa Lncia
mountains. The west end of the ranch is only three miles
from Salinas City, the county seat of Monterey county, and
fifteen miles from the world-celebrated Hotel Del Monte
at Monterey. Spence Station is near the east end of the pro-
perty. It is no exaggeration to say that the soil is the very
best to be found anywhere in tbe State. Experts have
pronounced it so. There are 4000 acres oE sediment bottom
land and 2000 acres cf rich table land, nil of which acreage is
adapted to the cultivation of cereals and root crops. It will
produce 500 bushels of potatoes per acre, and the finest aud
beBt quality of sugar beets. All Buch fruits as apples, pears,
prunes, peaches, apricots aDd berries can be grown in rank
luxuriance at a minimum expenditure. Tbe remainder of
the tract consists of low, rolling hills. The Santa Lnoia
Mountains shelter the lands from hard winds, aud springs
are everywhere abundant. It would be hard to discover any-
where a tract of land so well watered.

Unquestionably this is an unparalleled opportunity i ■
seen re valuable land and beautiful homes inn most d
location close to San Francisco, and on the main
travel between the largest cities in the State. Th
Pacific Company is pushing its line to early cc
which means a great and increasing demand for pr ,
that direction.

Continued from Page 56.
Nioe thousand acres of the best of the quail land were re-
served for that purpose. Not a shot is fired upon the ground
except during the trials. The cover is perfectly adapted to
protect the birds, as well as to permit satisfactory field trial
work, being low gi'dss and sage, with thickets at intervals o£
a few hundred yards. The quail will multiply upon the
tract, and being protected there will serve as seed to keep up
the stock upon all the surrounding lands where shooting is
permitted. Irrigating canals upon eaoh square mile of the
trial ground afford plenty of water for quails,- and as the land
is used for grazing purposes the birds are not disturbed at
nesting time. As a final excellence the grounds are quite
level, being rolling in parts, but teams can be driven every-
where in safety, and all of the work of the dogs seen without
discomfort. The trials just closed attracted many prominent
sportsmen, and many more would have been present but for
the epidemic of pleuropneumonia which decimated local
kennels in November and December aud killed off most of
the Derby entries. Among them being,

J. (i. Edwards, San Fraacisco, president of the club; G. T.
Allender, Watsouville; I. N. Aldrich, Marysville; J. M.
Birney, Dutch Flat; J. M. Bisaford, Jr. aud G. W. Bassforp1,
Vacaville; H. Boyd, San Francisco; H. M. Briggs, Central
Point; H. C. Chipman, Sacramento; J. S Dnnliam, Stock-
ton; Hon. W. W. "Foote, San Francisco; H. Gerber and J.
Gerber, Sacramento; J. G. Gates, Vacaville; Alva Green,
Galesburg, III.; W. H. Harris. Oakland; H. A. Hubbard,
Oakland; S. D. MeriweUher, Ventura; VV. DeMott, Stock-
ton; Judge C. N. Post, Sacramento; Hon. T. J. Piuder, San
Francisco; L. J. Rose, Jr., Ventura; William Schreiber, San
Francisco: P. J. Shafter, Point Reyes; P. M. Scott, Oak-
land; W. Thomas, Chico; F. A. Taft, Truckee; R T. Van-
devort, Pasadena; F. A. Watson, Colusa; M. D. Walter,
Gait, and N. E. White, Sacramento.

The judges were chosen at a late day, the reason being the
abseD.ce of the president of the club in the East. One of
them, Mr. R. T. Vandevort, is known to field trial men
everywhere as a goud handler and judge. He might have
just a bit more of self-assertiveness. Of the other judges.
Mr. Payne J. Shafter had had a little experience, havlug served
the club in similar capacity at Point Reyes in ISS5. He pos-
sesses very many of the predispositions necessary to muke
the first rate field trial judge, aud may become a secoud
Bergundthal. The third judge, Mr. Ike N. Aldrich, was one
of the first men in the State to import well-bred setters,
having brought out Macgregor, a Rob Roy-Queen Mab, some
years since. Mr. Aldrich had never attended a Held trial
until last week, and made a few minor errors, but in the
main gave satisfaction. The decisions of the judges were
all received without comment, and without any display of
pettishness, a thing that only rarely can be said of a trial. It
was easy to be seen by all of those piesent who had
been at earlier trials of the club that the average quality of
the dogs was much higher than hitherto. Both Btakes
throughout wore first class in the quality, breaking and
handling of the starters.

First in each was won by Old Black Joe, 10,057, A. K. S.B.,
a black pointer, supposed to have been bred by W. R. Pape
at NewcHStle-on-Tyne, England. The dog wag purchased
aboat a year ago by Mr. Jas. E. Watson, Secretary of the
Pacific Kennel Club, through William Graham of Belfast,
Ireland. Mr. Watson paid a long price for the dog, and
should have received proper certificates of breeding, date of
whelping, etc, none of which have been procurable. Old
Black Joe weighs about forty-five pounds, won third in claBB
for light-weight pointers at the P. K. C. show in April 1888,
and is a fair looking dog all over, being especially well
flt.ro ng in the ribs, and showing immense thighs and sjcond
thighs, with close feet.

He is the best average pointing dcg ever seen in California,
and probably as good as any in the world. A fairly wide and
uniform ranger, coveting his ground closely and with good
judgment, showing fine noee and staunchness, and doing his
work in free, merry gallant style. He is a dog to be proud of
and tit to go in any company, either in this country or any-
where else. He was very well broken indeed.

In the All-aged Stake second went to Mr. Thomas Bennet's
English setter Sirius by Sportsman — Sweetheart. Last year
Sirius was broken by Mr. Charles Tucker at Stanton, Ten-
nessee, and was run at High Point, and Florence being en-
tirely out of condition and showing little merit. When sent
to hiB owner by Mr. Tucker the dog was nearly dead, being
leucooythemic to a marked degree, and a mere skeleton.
For months it was an even thing between death and the dog
but the treatment by Doctor Bowhill and careful nursing by
his owner pulled Sirius into something like shape and he
was turned over to Mr. M. D Walter for preparation. In
the trialB he showed good bird sense, nose and staunchness.
He pace was only ordinary, his style in motion not taking,
and on point not catchy. He was under good control.
Third in the aged event went to the California Kennel's
English setter Sunlit, also by Spurtsman — Sweetheart. Sun-
lit has not justified the predictions based upon her form as a
puppy. She is fast and tasty, and has good nose, but is
rank, under no control, unsteady under the gun, and dis-
posed to blink her pointB. Taking all of the points for
judgment we should have preferred either Point, Scout
Croxtetb, or Solano B. for a place. Of the beaten
dogs all showed considerable merit. Mr. L. J. Rose, Jr.'s
big son of Vandevort's Don, was "off" except in pace and
range. He was careless, and his nose did not not serve its
usual good turn. Point won a place in each stake last year,
and in hie training had been doing splendid work, but during
his heats was not up to high form. Senator T. J. Pinder's
Scout Croxtetb, by Croxteth — Frank, moved in rather
cramped, constrained fashion, and did not seem a likely
covey dog, but in cover and on scattered birds he was all
over the pointer. He is a handsome dog, aud nicely broken.
Mr. Henry A. Bassford's staid old Solano B. showed better
than last year, being much faster, and more stylish. Sol is
a fiie "meat dog," and not an easy one to beat ou scattered
birds. President Edwards' old English setter Royal Duke II
has run his last race. As game a dog as ever Btarted, he haR
lost his hearing, grGwn careless and headstrong, and must
retire.

The California Kennel's Sirocco by Sportsman— Sweet-
heart showed good range and pace, but not much other
merit, during his only heat—that with Royal Duke II. Mr.
W W. Foote's Dick, a son of Royal Duke II., showed pretty
style, good pace and good breaking, but was rather incautious
a;:d overrun his birds. Mr. Barney's Galatea went at a
1 vely pace but showed no nose and no breaking.
Of the Derby dogs, other thau the winner ot first, which
\s been menlioued, all were very fine. Second went to Mr.
C. W. Baflsford's pointer Lottie B. by Professor— Grade
Bow. Lottie is a pretty bitch, a close worker, with fine nose,
very Btaunob, has fair style and is a stayer. Tho winner of
third, Mr. William Schreiber's pointer Nestor by Gladsome —
Forest Oueen II., sus'ained the reputation of bis famouB sire
as to p. oe, range and style, but did not seem to have had

much experience on birdB. He will make a dangeroufl dog in ing, Laddie flushing one qnail. A big covey was finally

The resignation of Mr. Geo. T. Allender was offered and
accepted.

An assessment of $5 each was levied upon all persons
holding membership in the club on Jan. I, 1SS9.

Election of officers being the next order of business, Mr.
J. G. Edwards was re-elocted president, Mr. J. M. Barney first

Post, J. M. Bassford Jr., D. M. Pile and J. S. Dunham.

On motion of Mr. Schreiber, sec md d by Mr. J. M. BaBS-
ford Jr.. a vote of thanks was proffdre I to the local members
of the Knights of the Trigger for the elaborate provision made
for the entertainment of toe visiting club, and for the general
interest shown in the success of the trials. Mr. W. E.
Houghton responded in an eloqneut speech, modestly dis-
claiming all credit, and promisiug continued and increased
interest iu the future gatherings of the Held trialers.

Ou motion of Mr. L J. Rose, Jr.. it was ordered that the
next meeting of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club begin at
Bakersfield on the third Monday of January, 1890. Con-
uratulatory speeches were mi-'e by Messrs. Schreiber, Rose,
Post, Pyle, and others, and the meeting adj inrued.

The Knights of the Trigger had arranged for an elegant
masquerade, which was given on Friday evening of trial
week, and was a delightful affair. When ladies are present
beauty is universal, and all graces too, and the gathering of
the society princesses at Bakersfield proved the saying true.
The wife of one of the judges, Mr. Shafter, and several
prominent social leaders iu local circles attended the trials,
amoug them Mrs. Borgwardt, Mrs. Eoughton, Miss Hortense
Lechner and Miss McCIoud. The presence of the ladies
added much to the interest of the trials, and was a source of
great gratification to all the participants.

Field trial week this year was passed as it should be, in a
spirit of mutual consideration and friendliness, and withont
any attempt to overreach or prejudice the judges, reporters or
anybody else. Eaoh evening the whule party of visiting
sportsmen sat down to dinner about a great table, the feature
of each meal being huge game pies, into which went quails,
snipe, cottontails, ducks, and everything else killed nuring
the days either upon the trial grounds or by shooting-
parties, of which several went out and made big Lags. Mr
Schreiber took down a quantum of some alcoholic menstruum,
with which he said he intended to preserve such rare birds,
eagles, owls, etc., as he might kill, but somehow the stuff
was mainly used to corn non-feathered bipeds, and the splen-
did state of preservation in which Fred Taft, Judge Aldrich,
Nick White. Judge Post, Mr. Walter, Mr. Allender, Presi-
dent Edwards and Mr. Foote returned from the trials is the
best possible recommendation for the fluid used. Ample
provision in the way of horses and carriages was made by
Mr. D. A. Leonard, a member of the Knights of the Trigger,
and all charges were kept at a reasonable rate.

THE DERBY.

Monday, Jan. 14 — The Derby was the first stake run, and
it began at 2.30 P. M. Monday. The morning was driz-
zling, but about noon the sun shone out, and as the light
soil is never muddy, President Edwards ordered a start to
the trial grounds chosen, Section 17, three miles southeast
of the town. Since last year the lands have been fenced into
tracts a mile square, and there was some perplexity in reach-
ing the Red House, from which the start was to be made,
but by 2:30 p. m. everything was ready and the first brace
was ordered down.

OLD BLACK JOE — PRIDE.

Mr. Jamee E. Watson's black pointer. Old Black Joe,
handled by G. T. Allender, and Mr. Albert Peri's grade
Llewellin setter Pride, handled by M. D. Wa'ter. The dogs
were sent across the open to a marked bevy, Joe showing
the way. After freeing themselves, Pride showed better pace,
but not equal to Joe's. Approaching a brush patch Pride
dropped on point and was prettily backed. To order, Walter
put up and killed the quail, both dogs steady aud Joe drop-
ping to shot. Moving on bctu dogs ran by a single bird
which they Buould have pointed. A piece of grass land waB
entered upon, and after the brace had worked it over, the
handlers put out a pair of birds. Through a brush patch
and into grass Joe drew up on a rabbit, which bolted, when
Pride ran clone in.

Sent Hlong, Joe made game, but on a down wind swing
flushed tho birds, stopping to wine, and then drawing on up
wind, when a bird was seen running thirty yards ahead.
Joe moved more and more freely as the heat progreBsed, and
had all the style. He quartered well. Sent on, Joe trailed
a running covey, but could not stop the birds which flushed
wild. The dogs thou got into a lot of larks, which were
very tame, and Joe pointed several of them, always standing
well to wing. Ordered to a likely-looking, brushy pUce, Joe
pointed, aud his handler trampled the grass for a little space
and then ordered the dog on, but Judge Vandevort, to sat-
isfy curiosity, insisted on a more thorough effort to find birds,
and succeeded in flushing three, which the dug had beeu
pointing. At 3.15 Old Black Joe was awarded tho heat. He
was much the better all around. In cover and ou scnttered
birds Pride would give good sport, but cue wan entirely out-
classed in the heat, albeit a nicely br 'ken bitch.

Laddie— Lottie B.— Down at 3:37. Mr. William Schrei-
ber's pointer Laddie, directed by G. T. Allender, and Mr. G.
W, BHSsford's pointer Lottie B., handled by owner. L'iddie
broke away at very high pace, aud raced over a wide range,
but did not snem to nse any judgment, doiuc as much of his
ranging over Derleolly; bare ground as in oover. The style
of the dog was very good, and he was quite bidable, but
showed absolutely no nose. Lottie B. was slower but was
hunting. She moved without much animation, but ltft no
likely place uncovered. A long cast waB made without find

good dog on single bird work, her competitor better in every-
thing except that he showed no nose.

Nkstor, a bye.

Mr. William Schreiber's pointer dog Nestor, being the odd.
dog in the drawing, had a bye nnder the rules.

TUESDAY, SECOND SERIES.

Nestor — Lottie B. — The winner of the first heat and the
bye dog being handled by the same person, the rule operated
to bring Nestor, handled by Allender, and Lottie B., handled
by George Bassford, together. Tuesday opened clear, sunny
and cool, and at 10:15 the dogs were started. Ntstor showed
a great flight of pace, a low, level style of going that waB
pretty. Lottie B. was a little faster than in the first Beiies,
and worked her ground carefully. A half-mile spin set the
dogs in good humor and a pretty heat resulted. Lottie B.
soon sighted a running covey, and pointed along on the trail
as the birds moved. Nestor ranged acrotB the trail and
stopped, then roaded in nice style. The birds ran faster
than the dog^, and were at last pnt up by a horseman and
scattered. Nestor flushed two down wind and Lottie dropped
on a false point. Nestor soon after g^t point on a single,
dropping, and being steady to wing when Allender flushed,
no Bhot. Lottie then on the edge of a sedge pointed a single
bird and stood to wing. Nestor immediately after scoring
two staunch points and Lottie B. adding anoiherto her score.
Both dogs steady to wing, the handlers not shooting. After
a stop of five miDuteB to water the dogs, they were sent on
in brush, Lottie B. soon getting a point and beiug nicely
backed, both steady to gun. Moving on, Nestor drew to
point in superb style, and Lottie B. backed in equally fine
style, both Bteady to wing, no shot. A tine, tasty bit of work.
Sent on Nestor again pointed aud stojd to wing, Lottie not
near to back. When ordered on, Nestor, after a little puz-
zling, located a bird and dropped on point, breaking in when
the bird flushed. Nestor then got another, the bird flushing
wild, Lottie B. backing handsomely. A hare broke cover
near Nestor, and the dog went yapping off after it, but after
the hare fairly got to moving Nestor became disgusted and
returned. Sent along in high brush. Lottie B. located a"
bird and poi ted it prettily, Nestor backing. Ordered up at
11:06, and Lottie B. being awarded the race.

The judges said Lottie B. bad best nose and staunchness,
and backed best, but as the heat was seen by the reporter the
decision was erroneous. The dogs were equal in noee. Nes-
tor had muoh the better pace, range and style in motion. On
point and back they were about equal in "style. Both were
ttaunch, neither had demerits except for a break in. Two of
the judges penalized Nestor ten points for running after the
hare, which they had no right to do. The heat was clearly
Nestor's, although both ran a good race.

Old Black Joe— A bye. The odd dog in the series Old
Black Joejhad a bye.

THIRD SERIES.

Old Black Joe — Lottie B— The final race for first money
was an interesting one, Lottie B improving much over her
form in her earlier heats, goirjg faster, in better style and with
more snap. The brace was sent tn a 1 it of marked birds at
11:26, Lottie B soon pinning one and Joe another, both steady
to wing, no shot. A wide round was then wulked over with-
out rinding, and at 12:06 a halt of an hour for luncheon was
made. At 1:07 the heat was resumed, Joe soon getting a
bevy point and a moment after a single, steady to both
flushes. Lottie B then dropped to wing, when a bird flushed
wild near her. Sent on, Joe on edge of a draw pointed a
quail and Btood to wing, and a moment after pointed three
birds and stood well to wing, Lottie not near to back. The
dogs were then ordered back along a swale, Joe soon making
game and working out three birds prettily, finally pjinting
them and being steady to wing. Sent on Lottie B pinned a
single at long range and stood to wing. Moved on a bird
flushed wild near Lottie, the bitch standing to wing and shot.
Joe then scored a point, which was almost a flush, the bird
rising wild a moment after the dog stopped. Ordered on Joe
dropped on point iu grass, Lottie B moving near pointed the
same birds, both steady to wing. Joe then got another point
and the heat ended at 1:47. in favor of Old Black Joe, giviug
him first place and money. The dogs were equal in nose
judgement, staunchness, obedience and disposition, bul
it was a heat in which a good doe was compelled bv superior
pace to work out ground already cleaned by her faster com-
petitor. Old Black Joe showed himself u wonderfully good,
quick, sure ,ond biddable dog.

FOURTH SERIES.

Lottie B. — Pkide —The heat for second money was ess« u-
tially like the preceding. Lottie B. had the foot of (he race.
Each was nicely broken, ard either alone could do well, but
Pride was compelled io tn.il Lottie B., and wis o msequently
under a disadvantage. Soon after starting each scored u
pretty point in brush iiud was steady to wiug.

On, Lottie boou picked up another bird, aud broke in
when it rose. Then Lottie B. cot a p tint on a siugle and
was backed. Sent along, Pride dropp; d to point on a single
bird aud stood to gun.

A large wa-te of barren gr.iuud was then drawu blank,
Lottie finally pinning a bird in low grass, aud immoriiately
after scoring another uirj poiut, Prido also getting credit for
a point and a back, both very nice. A tittle further aloug
Lottie B. found aud pointed a single bird iu brush, aud
Blood well to wiug. At 3:32, Lottie B. was awarded the race
and secoud mouey.

FIFTH SERIES.

Nestor— Fitim-:.— The race for third was a one dug event,
Nestor so far outclassing his tasty, bin slow aud pottering
competitor. Nestor in high brush soon found a bird and
pointed it in Rood stvle being steady to wiug. A big covey
flushed wild soon after and trailing after it NesiorHi-ored four
good siugle poiuts and was backed once. At 4:12 the heat
aud third monty were uwarded to Ntstor.

The all-aged stake began on Wednesday morning, the day
being seemingly all that a day should be for Held trial work,
but for some reason the dogs did not seem able to locate the
birds with certainty. They ran by and over them with a
perfect looseness that was annoying to the handlers and not
edifying to anybody else. New ground was selected for the
morning's work, near a schoolhouse opposite Section 17 on
the Bellevue road, the tract being covered with grass and
weeds abont knee high, and appearing to be as likely a place
for birds as could be found.

WEDNESDAY.

Royal Duke II.— Sirocco. — Mr. J. G. Edwards' English
setter Royal Duke II , handled by "W\ De Mott. and the
California Kennel's English setter Sirocco, handled by M. D.
Walter, were cast off at 9:27 to work toward a big covey pre-
vioosly marked down by Mr. Seymour. Both dogs showed
great pace, wide range and the utmost independence, the
latter being in a measure accounted for by the partial deaf-
ness of both. They disregarded the whistles of the handlers
utterly, and rushed about like mad, routing out birds, run-
ning over them, and raising the deuce generally. Neither
showed a bit of nose, and after fifty minutes and plenty of
opportunities to point birds, they were ordered up for lack of
merit, the judges reserving the right to run them again if
thought desirable.

On the following day, Thursday, they were again put down
and run for fourteen minutes, Royal Duke II. winning the
heat.

Dick — Sunlit. — Down at 10:34.
f Mr. W. W. Foote's English setter Dick, handled by W. De
Mott, and the California Kennel's English setter, Sunlit,
handled by C. N. Post. No birds were found until a lot of
ground had been drawn, when, on redrawing a portion of
the ground Sunlit drew to point on a single bird, Dick re-
fusing to back, running in and flushing the quail, both
steady towing and gun. Moving on, Dick pointed a cot-
tontail rabbit, and Sunlit stole in and pointed the same
beast, both breaking when the rabbit bolted. At 11:26 the
dogs were ordered up, and a move made to the ground used
on Monday and Tuesday, the brace being again started at
11:49. Birds were soon found and shot over when they rose
wild. Soon up-wind Sunlit flushed a single, and stopped
to wing. A swing was then made to get the wind of the
scattered bevy, and Dick got a nice point, being well backed,
but no bird could be found. Dick's handler said the dog
was pointing the form where a rabbit had been. Up at 12:27
for lunch, and put down again at 1 o'clock, Dick soon flush-
ing part of a covey op wind, and Sunlit pointing the other
part of the covey. At 1:09 the dogs were ordered up and
the heat given to*SuD?it. The dogs were equal in pace and
ranee; Dick had better style, Sunlit had the better nose, and
greater bird sense.

Scour Croxteth— Sirius. — Started at 1:16 — W, De Mott
handling Mr. T. J. Pinder's pointer Scout Croxteth, and M.
D. Walter shooting over Mr. Thomas Bonnet's English setter
Sirius. The dogs crossed a fence soon after starting and
made a circuit of a mile, some wild flushing birds being
found, but neither dog doing any work on them. Both
moved fairly well, although neither was fast. Scout had bet-
ter style and more uniform range, he moved in particularly
merry fashion, and waB very taking. Up at 1:34 and a move
made back aorosB the wire fence. Started again at 1 :42, and
Scout Croxteth Boon drew to point in nice style on a single
bird. A patch was then drawn blank, and a move was made
to the opposite side of Section 17, ten minutes being con-
sumed in the change. When again ordered on Sirius pointed
a single bird, but was held so long to enable a photographer
to make a picture of him that the bird ran. Sent along.
Scout Croxteth made game aud drew to point twice on the
trail of a running bevy which flashed wild. Sirius soon
after ran in and false pointed where the birds had last been,
Scout backing nicely.

At 2:27 the heat was given to Sirius, a decision which this
reporter thought might well have been reversed. Scout got
no credit for his work on the last bevy, while Sirius was not
only not demerited for a false point, but was actually given
credit for a point when he should have been demerited. In
pace and range they were equul. Iu style Scout had the
best of it. They had about equally good noses and were
both obedient and staunch, the pointer having a little the
better nose.

Old Black Job — Galatea.— Mr. Jas. E. Watson 'a black
pointer Old Black Joe, winner of the Derby, handled by G.
T. Allender, aud Mr. J. Martin Barney's pointer bitch Gala-
tea bandied by owner, were cast otf at 2:33. Gaiat?a soon
flushed some quails and broke in. Joe then drew to point
on a single and wa? backed to order, Joe being steady to
wing, aud Galatea breaking in. Sent on, Joe again pointed,
and Galatea refusing to back ran in, flushed the bird and
both stood to wing. When moved on Joe soon dropped on
point, the bird flushing wild soon after, Galatea near by

flushing a single bird. Ordered on Galatea scored two
flashes and a ohase. and at 4:22 the dogs were ordered up
for the day, to be run on the following.

A rank bad decision. Galatea was beaten pointless after
fair opportunities, and Joe should have been given the heat
on the work done. The failure to reach a conclusion after
au hour and forty-nine minutes of one dog racing waB one of
those awful things that tend to drive a reporter to the verge
of frenzy.

THURSDAY.

Thursday was a perfect day, just warm enough to be com-
fortable, just breezy enough to keep body scent along the
ground within reaching distance of ordinarily high-headed
dogs. The attendance was large, and of the pleasanteat, in-
cluding many ladies, whose critical plaudits alone would have
given a roseate tone to the sport. First in the all-aged stake
was ran off and won by the pointer Old Black Joe, a splendid
average dog. Perhaps not phenomenal in any one quality,
but bo good in all as to make him good enoug'i to win a
world's championship. That famous son of Vandevort's
Don, the pointer Richmond, has hitherto been admittedly
the best field pointer ever seen, because he got out with the
setters and won in company with them. The work and style
of Richmond are well known to this reporter, and it is his
opinion that Old Black Joe is better in every way, even than
the famous Richmond, than which higher praise could not
well be accorded. The first race of the day was the unfin-
ished heat of the evening before between

OLD BLACK JOE— GALATEA.

They were started at 9:41 on section 17, at the Bouth-west
corner near the sohool house. A big covey was soon found,
which fluehed wild, and when sent to the marked birds Joe
made game, and was drawing on the birds when Galatea ran
in by him, rooted out bird after bird, and chased. After the
bitch had run away Joe picked up two points on singles and
was steady to wing.

At 9:55 Old Black Joe was awarded the heat. Galatea had
considerable pace, but was beaten pointless. Her owner
had seen her do good work before the trials, but her
public showing was utterly without merit, and her load of
demerits would have swamped any dog.

Royal Duke II— Sirocco— Down at 10:01.

At request of Judge Post and Mr. Edwards, and also to
reach a more satisfactory conclusion than a suspension of
judgement, the brace was put down to finish the suspended
heat of the day before.

Sirocco immediately ran over a single bird, and then scored
two flushes up wind. Duke pointed a bird for a moment be-
fore it flushed, Sirocco backiDg.

The point of Duke was not seen at first by his handler,
but the handler of Sirocco very generously called attention
to it, an act meriting the highest approbation. Sent on,
Duke just drew to point as a bird flushed, and when ordered
on again pointed, but the bird ran away in plain sight.
Then Duke scored two flushes and a good point in high
cover, and at 10:15 was given the heat. Neither had much
merit bat pace.

Point — Solano B. — Down at 10:20.

The final heat of the first series was between Mr. L. J.
Rose Jr.'s white and lemon pointer dog Point, handled by
G. T. Allender, and Mr. Henry A. Bassford's white and l.ver
pointer Solano B , handled by W. De Mott. The brace
moved off well. Point showing better pace, wider range and
better style. Point soon dropped to wing as a pair of birds
flashed near him, across wind. Sent on through high, thick
cover, duBty with pollen, which floated off iu clouds when
brushed by the dogs, Solano B. flushed two birds. Taken
ont of the high pulverulent stuff, and back toward the
wagons, Solano B. in a ditch pointed a single bird, Point
backing to order, both to steady wing.

Ordered on, Solano B. again pointed, and broke in when
the bird flashed. The break in was a bad one, the
dog moving twenty yards or more, but as the
bird moved in one direction, and the dog at
right angles to the line of flight we did not look upon it as a
chase. Point, as a divertiBement, yapped off after a hare,
but returned in time to make a pretty point on a single bird,
and to be steady to wing. At 11:17 the dogs were taken up
and moved to more open cover, where a big covey had been
found and herded by Mr. D. M. Pyle. Sent off again at
11:23. Solano B. immediately pointed in a dry ditch, steady
to wing and gun. Then Point pointed a bird, and both doga
broke iu when it was flushed. The brace then ranged off
through a patch of fine cover, full of birds, neither pointing
until near the far end, when Solano drew up on a single,
and Point rushed up on the other side of the bush and
pointed the same bird. Sent on, Point drew up
in fine, high-headed style on a single bird, and at 11:35
Point was awarded the heat. Daring the last five min-
utes both dogs were in the midst of a big lot of birds, but
were hunting down wind. The wind was only a zephyr,
and both should have made a dozen points.

SECOND SERIES.

Royal Doke II— Sunlit— Sent off at 11:20.

Sunlit soon pointed a single and stood to order when the
bird was shot at and missed. The dogs were put down on
scattered birds on the ground where the last heat was finished.
Royal Duke II hunted near his handler, but Sunlit ranged
off out of sight over a rise when her handler claimed two
points for her, which were allowed by Judge Shatter, who had
ridden to the bitch. Called bark and directed to work to-
gether, Sunlit soon got point on a single bird, Duke refusing
to back, both steady to gun.

At 12:01 the brace was taken up. Sunlit winning the race.

OldBlack Joe— Sirius— After 27 minutes for lunoheon, the
only notable incident of which was the demolition of the
lunch box by a reporter who lazily thought to rest his all too
solid flesh upon it, work was resumed, the pending brace
being started at 12:28.

Siriu6 soon pointed in a ditch and stood to gun. Joe above
and near root of a tree pointed a single and stood to gun.
Both nicely broken, Joe showing best pace, style and range.
Sent on Joe scored another good point. Sirius then false
pointing and being backed. When Sirins moved np Joe
dashed in ahead, failed to detect scent and ranged off, Sirius
still pointing, a good bit of work for Joe. Sent on Sirius
again false pointed and was backed. A pretty picture to Bee
the big oraoge-fiecked Si in statuesque likeDess. and behind
him in the nerviest of attitudes the coal black devil of a little
Joe. Sirius was finally ordered on, aod Joe ranged off to one
side, began roading and located a single bird in high cover,
which he pointed handsomely, and wau steady to wing. AcroBS
a ditch Sirius on a wide cast pointed a bevy and stood to
wing. Toward the scattered birds Si soon pointed a single,
then false pointed, and soon after pointed a rabbit. Ordered
on Sirius got a pretty point on a little bunch of quails, part
of the bevy, Joe backing well and both B'aunoh. Then Joe
got a pretty point, dropped to shot and retrieved well. Or-
dered up at 1:40 and the heat awarded to Old Black Joe.

Point, a bye. Being an odd dog in the seri. s Point ha-1 a
bye.

third series.

Point— Sunlit. — Down at 1:49

Point was decidedly "off," refusing to back a point soon
made by Sunlit, aud both breaking shot aud chasing, Lit
retrieving the bird. Sent on, Sunlit roaded a single bird
pointed it, flushed and chased it, a bit of raukness that was
surprising.

Point then scored a false point, and on a rapid Bwing
flashed two birds, Ordered on, Snnlit pointed "a Bingle,
Point refusing to baok, and both steady to wing and gun'.
Moving on, Sunlit again pointed a single bird, Point refusing
to back, and stealing point on the same bird. Both Bteady
to order.

Up at 2:01, Sunlit winning. Point rank, a bad heat for
such a level-headed dog.

Old Black Joe, a bye. Old Black Joe, being odd iu the
series, was given a bye.

FOURTH SERIFS.

Old Black Joe— Sunlit. Down at 2:21.

Joe Boon pointed a pair of birds and stood' to wiug. A
wild flushing bird was killed by Allender, and Joe retrieved
it nicely. Moving along, Sunlit pointed a siDgle and was
steady to wing and gun. When ordered on, Sanlit roaded a
bevy by sight, stopping at intervals; Joe ran near and backed
the bitch uhen the latter was dropped by Mr. Post. Black
Joe then pointed a bird, which ran from him soon after.

Farther on Joe scored a good point and stood to wings^rl
shot, Snnlit to the left, false pointiDg and a moment after
making a flash. Moved on, Joe rolled up three good points,
one of them on three birds blinked by Sunlit. Then Joe
pointed a single bird handsomely, was prettily backed, and
at 3:10 Old Black Joe was awarded the heat and first money.
fifth series.

After a trial beat between Sirius and Galatea, to select a
competitor with Sanlit for second money, in which Sirins
had it all hia own way and won.

Sunlit— Sirius. — Were put down at 3:50.

Sunlit at once pointed a little bevy beautifollv, SiriuB run-
ning in and pointing the same birds prettily This reporter
could not determine whether or not he should have backed.
Then Sirius pointed a winged bird and to order caught it.
Sunlit off to the right waB unsteady to gun on a wild flush-
ing bird which Mr. Post killed, the bitch breaking shot and
retrieving.

Sirius soon pointed three birds and stood to gun, then he
pointed a pair and was steady to shot, until Sunlit' broke in
and went to retrieve, when Si also broke. Up at 4:06, Sirius
winning the heat and second money.

FRIDAY, SIXTH SERIES.

Sunlit— Scoot Croxteth.— The heat for third money
between Sunlit and Scout Croxteth was two hours long,
under fine conditions, and was closely contested. The work
began at 10:20, on Section 17. near the school house. Much
blank grass land was drawn, a wild flushing bird being killed
by Mr. Post and poorly retrieved by Sunlit. It was then
decided to go to the Red House on another side of the tract,
and a big covey was soon found by Joe Bassford, Jr., whose
fog horn tones quickly called the party to his vicinity . Sunlit
pointed a single bird right away, PoBt killing the bird, bitch
steady to order. Then Scout got a handsome poiut dropoed
to shot and retrieyed well, Sunlit near by being on point and
steady. Sent on Scoot Boon pointed again and stood to
wing. Then Sunlit got a point, the bird was flushed and
shot at, the bitch remaining on point. Her handler tramped
about near her, and another bird was flushed and the bitch
stood to wing. The heat went on for some time without
finding birds, and at 12:15 the dogs were taken up and the
race and third money given to Sunlit. It was anybody's
heat, because of Sunlit's disposition to blink which made her
uncertain.

The heat ended the trials pleasantly and satisfactorily to
all concerned.

Thoroughbred Stallion

RATHBONE.

Bred at the Palo Alio Stud— F. aled March
13, 1884.

RATHBONE IS A VERY HANDSOME SHADE
of brown , the only white a small star in forehead .
He is of almost unexceptionable form. 15 hands 3
inches in height, of immense power and substance, and
also of tlie highest quality.

He was never in "order" to run, and vet he lias
shown well, better by far than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.

March 11, 1886, on the Bay District course, car-
rying 5 pounds over-weight (11.1 lbs.) he defeated,
in a stake for two-year-olds, Voltigeur, U. H. Todd,
Notidleand Leap Year, the h -If mile being run in 49-fc
seconds. He has shown quarters in -3 secondhand, is
so stoutly bred thai he could hardly fail to go a dis-
tance nt a high rate of speed.

His blood lines could not be improved. His sire,
Young Prince, is the only stallion that lean recall
imported from England to the United States with near
strains of stockwell andKingTom blood, these noted
horses being the paternal mid maternal grandsires of
Young Prince. The family of his dam, Lady Amanda,
ranks high among the noted clans of America. Mal-
colm, Regent, Ontario, McWhirter, Ladv Mildleton,
etc. The following is a tabulated pedigree :

Stockwell, King Tom, Newminster and Monarch,
the best sons of The Baron, Rataplan, Touchstone and
Kmilius, and the dnins of the same remove, byOrlande,
Jerry (a >■*. Leger winner., Bav Middletoii and im-
ported Trahby, present such a combination of ultra
fashionable blood as is rarelv equalled. Young Prince
was bred by James Smith, England; fouled 1ST0.
see RnglishNturt Book, Vol. XIII., page 363.

With proper marcs there 4s no question that RATH-
BONE will get race-horses, witha certainty of getting,
from anv good mares, valuable horses for harness arid
saddle, with a fair show of a fast trotter, us RATH-
BONE is a capital road-horse and shows a good gait
without any trotting practice further than occasional
drives on the road. He Is one of the "best disposed"
horses imaginable without trick or vice of any kind

In order to place bis services within the. reach of
those who feel that they ennot pay the high price
demanded for fast trotting sires, his services are put
at the exceedingly low price of §25 the seuson.

JOS. CAIRN SIMPSON.

ANTEV0L0,

Four Year Old Record 2:19 1-2.
.Standard. No. 7848.

THIS CELEBRATED TROTTING STALLION WILL
make the ensuing season from Feoruary 15th to
June 15th, 1889, at 2,1 1 1 Adeline Street, Oak-
land.

Terms.

One hundred dollars the season for mares engaged
before May 1st, and oi.e hundred and filty dollars tbe
season a. ter that date. The object of this is to shorten
the time in the stud so as to gi\ e a better opportunity
for training before the Full Circuit commences. Last
year it WdB the first of A u&ust before he was through,
and consequently he could not be got into condition in
time even for the .-tate Fair, in this connection it
will be well to Btate .hat there in no deviation from
the price, and emphatically no free list. Tbe terms
ore certainly low for a horse of the class of Antevolo,
and there were sev.-ral applications where the appli.
cantB expected an increase of price.
Form and Color.

It is rare to find a horse of such high form, and I am
not alone in considering hitn as being as nearly per.
feet a type of equine form as was ever seen in a trot-
ting-bred stallion. He is sixteen hardB and half an
Inc. i in height, 69 inches from point of shonlder to
point of buttock, and weighs, in ordinary condition,
l,150pounds. He is very muscular, limbs as good as
ttie most critical could desire, and as highly nm'sheu
aB a great majority of thoroughbreds, in color be is
a rich seal brown, with lighter shading in flunks and
muzzle, black legs, mane and tail, small .star in fore-
head and off i.ni i pastern white.

p er 1 o r ma n ces.

He has been eminently of the improving kind. As
a yearling he trotted in 3:02; two-year-old in 2:41; three
years old in 2:29^; four years old in 2:l9}f, the fastest
record for a stallion of that age up to that time,
and in his five-year old form he trotted in from
2M6K to 2:17 in all of the four heats of the big
trot which Harry WilkeB won. As he only inado
one break in this race, notwithstanding tbe great
speed of the contestants, he must be credited as
remarkably "steady," almost phenomenally so for
a horse of hiB age. Had it not been for an acci-
dent which temporarily disabled him, It can be stated
with confidence that he would have trotted in 2:15or
better while he still ranked as a five-year-olj.

In 1887aninjuiy to his left. hind leg, first hurt
when a two-year old, incapacitated him from trotting.
That injury was below the ankle, and last year when
apparently entirely recovered from that, and when he
gave promise of doing better than ever before, owing
to the track being harrowed very deeply he sprained
tbe suspensory ligament, so that it was slightly bowed
about midway between ankle and hock, 'ibis was on
the 21st of August, and he was walked and jogged, at
times being quite lame, unt 1 September 19th, when
after short brushes, he was, on the 2-nd given two easy
heats in z;28 and 2:25, "worked out" twice a week, giv-
ing two heats at each working in time ranging from
2:17 to 2:23. 0»the6ih of October I gave him three
heats in 2:28, 2: lit, 2: 17 (several watches made it 2:lfi%J
thelast half 1:07^, and going 60 easily that 1 felt sure
he could trot several seconds faster.

Although I worked him carefully, it was obligatory
that he should have some fast work to trot on the2 Oth,
an i on the following Satnrduv I gave him 'hree heats.
In 2:24, T.lH, 2:1 j#, and the next Tuesday S:2t>, 2 :ia, 2:22.
He did not show as well In that as before, and though
he made a good showii.g in tue National, a wonderful
exhibition after the drawbacks, and also his first race
for n. arly two years. h« was evidently "not at him-
self." I have so much confidence in his speed and
endurance that I will name him again in the National
if it is gotten up, and will m »tch any stallion heats of
two miles for one or two thousand dollars a side to
trot in October or November next, and take the
chances of his leg standing.

Progeny,

He has only four colts, which were foaled in 1886.
Dr. Lillencrantz has two fillieson hie ranch at Aptos,
D. T. Sexton oi. Sin Francisco has afllly,and V. R.
Lewis a colt. It was the intention to train the colt,
but having hurt his fore leg when a yearling he had to
be thrown out. He is quite promising, and though
Sunol and other cracks remain in, tbirdpayment was
made on him in the Stanford Stukes and Occident
Stakes. There are quite a number of foals of lh87,
several of which have been broken lately, and every
one gives good promise of trotting fast". There are
also a number of foals of 1888, and, in my estimation,
for form, size, and beauty they cannot be excelled by
the get of a-iy trotting stallion. That others share in
this opinion is evident from the following quotation;
"R.E. Bybee says J. B. Haggiu has got a lust spring
colt by Antevolo. son of J&lectionrer, dam Mabel,
Bister of Beautiful Bells, thatis as much superior to
other colts as the Jersey L.ly is to a Umatilla reserva-
tion squaw."— Rceal Spirit, Portland, Oregon,

Nearly everyone who owns an Antevolo colt thinks
that he has the best, which is a token of their uni-
formity,

Pedigree.

Tbe most exacting critic, if moderately intelligent,
cannot find fault with his blood lines. His sire Elec-
tioneer is, bevond question, the greatest trotting sire
of any age when all things are considered. His dam
Columbine is the only mare which has two entire sons
which have beaten 2 :2o. 2:16J^ py a Bix year-old, 2: 19 %
by a four-year-old. Antevolo stands in the same rela-
tion to the thoroughbred as Maud », Jay-Eye-See,
Sunol: Nutwood and many others of first celebrity.
In Stud Book form the pedigree is as follows:

in Corveis; for it is of no Use (saith he) and Buch Delighting
ToyeB of Prauncing np and down tbey will do, when they
should go upon the Ground: For first, There is nothing
makes a Horse Better upon the Hand, than Corveis, and
that's Useful; then, there is nothing puts a Horse so much
upon the Hanches, and Firms him there, as Corvets, and that
is Usefull too; and Mr. Blundevil is mightily Deceived, to
think, that he will go in Corvets, when he should go upon
the Ground; for the Helps are several: And let a Horse be
never so Apt, or Perfect in Corvets, and made upon the
Ground too, (which is the First thing must be done) I dare
say be shall never offer at Corvets with me, but go just upon
the Ground as I would have him; because the Helps are
several.

He sayes, That in five or six Months he can make a Horse
to Gallop the Field, (a Necessary thing for a Sou Idiers Horse) ;
which is no more, as he Understands it, tban in an Acre of
Ground to Gallop and Change, still upon a Gallop; and that
I will Undertake to make a Cart-Horse do in three Dayes
vi Besides, they Dig out Rings, and Entrench themselves
(which is a Horrible Folly) ; but I desire no more for Stop-
ping than a Plain place, without Hills, or any such Toyes;
and will Dress any Horse perfectly there, by the New
Method of my French Book: which I Refer you to.

For Mr. Btundevilt Bitts, They are very Ridiculous; the
Eyes are Naught, the Cheeks as ill, and the Mouths Worst
of all; with Catts Feet, Up-sets, Portes, and Broken Portes;
Catts Feet, and Up-sets, -with a Eevet Nayl; and his Com-
p'eat Bitts, are compleatly Abominable, with their Water-
Chain and Trench, the Mouth of the Bitt too being as Bigg
a.-? my Wrist, and the Branches as Long as my Arm; and
the Curb as Bigg as a Chain for a Horse Nose, with some
Stories flying Trench, which is a Snaffle tyed to the Bitt,
and such other Tormenting ignorant Follies: The Leggs
are so Loose, as if they were Broken, in the Knees, and are
to Help up and down, as if they -were Wind-Mill-Sayls.

He -would have Us to Strike a Horse "with a Cudgel, or a
Bod, between the Ears, and upon the Head; which is
Abominable, though he thinks it a Rare Secret. And thus
much of Mr. Blundevils Biding, which is Grison Translated
into English.

Mr. Blnndvils Breeding, To turn the Stallion loose to the
Mares, is indifferent Well, but not Eight; and to put him
to them again at Holland-Tide, stark Naught. To Cover in
Hand is Unnatural, and you shall not have half of them (so
Covered) prove with Fole.

To have a Horse-Fole, or Mare- Fole, by Tying his Bight,
or Left Stone; to Observe the Moon, and the Wind, to fail to
Procreation, or get a Fole by the Alman&ck, is very Ridicu-
lous, and to put Painted Clothes before the Mares, to make
the Fules of what Colour you would have them, is no less
Ridiculous.

That, if the Horse, as soon as he hath Covered, come
Down on the Liqht Side, it is a Horse Colt; and if of the
Left Side, it is a Filley. And if, so many Dayes after the
Mare is Mounted, her Coat look Sleek, and Shines, then she
hath Conceaved; if it do not shine, she hath not Conceaved,
are all Tales to Tell to Children, rather than to Men of
Reason and Discretion; all Mountebank- ship and Fooleries:
and to make the Horse Lusty, and the Mares, there is little
or nothing in it.

Mr. Blundevil Reasons thus: That for as much, as all
Mares do Fole Standing. Wherein certainly he took his
Note out of some Learned Author, as Aristotle, or the like;
for I will Assure you, That never any Mare in the World
did Fole Standing: If sbe did, the Fole would break his
Neck; For, he comes into the World with his Head first,
and his two Feet on both sides of his Head. No! The
Mare is in too great Pain to Fole Standing, and therefore
she Lies Down, and Poles so.

Mr. Blundvil sayes, There is a thing Growes in the Foles
Fore-head like a Figg, which the Mare commonly Bites off,
which is called Hippomenes; and jf it be . Taken, it doth
Miraculous Things in Love-Matters, which he was Loath to
Write of. Truly he was Over-careful, with his Old Writers;
and, in my Conscience, if it could be Got, it would do
Miraculous Things, not only in Love, but in every Thing
e'se. But the Truth of this Business, is, That never any
such thing did Grow upon any Foles Fore-head; and there-
fore ciuld never be Bitt off by the Mare. No doubt but
that Mistake is caused by the Seconding, or Clean, or Bagg,
in which the Fole Lies, whereof all the Strings meets at the
End, which looks like a little Knot, and that hangs Loose
upon the Foles Head; but when the Fole is Foled, That, and
the Bagg, goes together; for it i6 all one Thing.

Mr. Blundevil bids us take Heed, That the Mare do not
Eat that Bagg, or Second'me, Because the Country Wives
Kye do so. But I have Enquired of the Country-Men, and
they say, Not one Cow in a Hundred does do it: And for
Mares, I will assure you, They Never do it: Aud if you Ask,
What they do with it? I say, They let it Lie there*, and
trouble themselves no more with it.

Mr. Blundevil condemns those that Take the Foles, to be
taken Off at Martlemas; Because, according to his Old
Learned Authors, he would have them Suck two Years at
least: That is, he would have them Heavy, Flaby Jades,
besides the Loss of the Fruitfulness of his Mares; wherein
his old Authors are very much deceived.

Then he sayes, That the Foles Leggs are as Long when
thej' are Foled, as ever afterward; wherein he is very much
Deceived: Does he think, that the Body only Grows, and
the Leggs not at all? A very Ridiculous Opinion! For,
look at the Foles Leggs, and the Mares, and you shall find
the Mares Leggs are Longer a great deal. Can any man
think, That a Gray- Hounds- Whelp, as soon as he is Whelpt,
hath his Leggs as Long as when he is a Dogg? It is Rid-
iculous.

To know, Which Fole will have the Best Spirit, by Run-
ning fore-most, and Leaping of Hedges and Rayls; is quite
contrary to the Experience I had once of a Colt, that Noth-
ing would keep in, Leaping over all things he came near;
and when he came to be Ridd, the Dullest Jade that
could be.

To know by their Feet, and much of White, That they are
not Long-Lived, is as false a Rule, as any He hath set down.

His Reckoning Horses Teeth, is beyond the Number of
what ever any Horse had; and that every Horse hath two
Tushes Below, and two Above, is, I assure you, True.
Some Horses (say they) have no Tushes at all, and they
commonly ill-natured, being something of the Mare; but as
there is not One in a Hundred but have Tushes, so there is
not One Mare in a Hundred that have Any; and those that
h.ve, are ill-natnred, participating too much of the Horse;
and both are a kind of Hermaphroditical Compositions.

Thus you see, how Learned People (with their old Authors)
are Deceived.

To Know the Disposition of Horses, by the
Elements, aud their Marks.

Mr. Blundevil says: The Sorrel is of the Element of
Fire, and therefore is fall of Mettle, Hot and Fiery; bnt I
assure you, I have Known more Sorrel Horses dull jades than
of any other Color. That White Horses are Flegmatick, and so
participate of the Element of Water, and therefore are Dull
and Heavy jades: but I assure you again, I have known white
Hordes to be fuller of Spirit, and Livelier, than of any other
color; and so his Elements are Wrong in Every thing: Tour
best Way is, To Try your Horse ; which Philosophy will hold to
Know him best.

Mr. Blundevil speaks also of the Marks of Horses, That
there are Four good, and Seven bad; such a Foot of the Far
Side, and such a Foot of the Near Side, and which Fore-foot,
and which Hinder-foot; and not too much White in his Face,
nor his Legs to be very high White; and Feathers, and I know
not what a kind of Conjuration: All false and ridiculous
Lies.

When once I hear a Man Talk of Marks and Elements, I
have done with him, and Know no other Philosophy but Try-
ing; for, there are Good and Bad of all Colors, and of all Marks;
but there are more Bad Horses than Good of any Color or
Mark, as there are of any thing Else, even of Men in all
things: Therefore Marks and Colors are foolish and false
toys, only to abuse simple People withal.

Of the Perfect Shape of a Horse.

Mr. Blundevil speaks so of the Perfect Shape of a Horse,
That such a Horse as he Describes, was never of God's, and
Natures Making, but of his Own, or some Foolish Authors he
hath Read; for he takes several Parts of several Horses, and
Puts them Together, which is a Horse of their Own making;
for there was never such a Horse Foaled.

Every Country hath a several Shape of Horses; As the
Turk, the Neapolitan, the Spanish Horse, the Barb, and the
Dutch Horse; All very Fine in their Kinds.

In a Word, I will show you the Ridiculousness of Setting
down the Perfect Shape of a Horse. For Example, Who can
set down the Perfect Shape of a Dog? A Mastiff is not a
Grey-Hound; Dor a Gray-Hound, a Lancashire-Hound; nor
a Lancashire-Hound a Little Beagle; and yet all very Fine
Dogs in their Kinds: And so of Horses: Which shows the
Impossibility to set down the Perfect Shape of a Horse.

Mr. Blundevil says, a Spanish Horse is Pin-Buttock, nar-
row and slender Behind: I believe he would have a Spanish
Horse to have a Dutch Horse's Buttock; which would indeed
be very correspondent to the Rest of his Shape: Some Spanish
Horses have Oval ButtockB, which is the Finest Buttocks of
all.

He says they have ill Feet: It is true, some have, and so
have Horses of all Countries; Dutch the Worst, and some of %
the English very Bad: He says also, Spanish Horses are
Weak; but there are more Weak Dutcn Horses than Spanish.

I have Had many Spanish Horses with good Buttocks,
good Feet, and Strong; and if some should be Weak, yet
their Spirits make them go much Better, than any other
HorseB that are Stronger.

He says, They are Gentle in their Youth, and grow Vitious
in their Age: But I assure you, there is no puch thing; for
they are as Gentle in their Age, as they are in their Youth,
and very Loving Horses: So Mr. Blundevil is very much
Abused by his old Authors whom he Reverences so much.

He says. The Genuet hath a Comely going, like the Turk-
ish, which is neither Amble, nor Trot. I would Know of Mr.
Blundevil, What strange kind of Going that ie, which is
neither of those Two: But I will assure him, That there is
no Horse, that hath Four Legs, can go, but it must be the
Action either of an Amble, or of a Trot: for Galloping, and
Running, is another thing, and so are all Ayres in the Man-
nage. Mr. Blundevil appears by this, to be a Better Scholar,
than a Horse-mau: and was indeed a fine Gentleman, (Veil
Travelled, an Excellent Scholar, a Good Translator, and
puts things into an Excellent Method, but Tied himself too
much to Old Authors, who knew as little as he in Horse-man-
Bhip; and so Authority Abused him, having no Knowledge
himself in the Art, and totally wanting Experience in it.

His Treaty for Dieting of Horses, is ae Learned as any
Physician can Write; but yet is nothing as it Ought to be;
for he wanted Experience.

His Cures of Diseases are most Admirable; and indeed, he
is the Father of all that Business, and the Rarest that bath
Writ upon that Subject. Markham is bnt, Blnndc\i

San Mateo Trotting Stock.

Mr. Wm. Corbitt'a trotting stud, at San Mateo, Cal., has
always been regarded as an ambitions one. He has not hes-
itated to pay large prices for stallions that commended them-
selves to bis approval. During the past few years he has also
been a liberal payer for brood mares. He seems to have
made a most decided stand on the breeding of his brood
mares, as relate3 to their possession of the blood of promi-
nent trotting strains, than most California breeders- This
perhaps came about in a large degree from using stallions of
that character, and then turning in their filliea as brood
mares as soon as they were old enough, instead of holding
them for sale; but he has also purchased freely and with dis-
cretion.

Tne stallions now in use are Guy Wilkes, 2:15}, the fastest
entire son of George Wilkes, and his son Sable Wilkes, who^e
2:18 leadB the three-year-old record, and is the fastest four-
year-old stallion record. The latter has not only the prestige
of the fastest record of his class, but reflects great credit
on bis sire, Guy Wilkes, being the first of his progeny
trained, and then to reach the highest mark ever achieved at
the age of three, and the highest stallion mark at four, was
a credit even to a sire whose individual prowess had given
him the fastest stallion record in the great Wilkes family.
As the pedigree of Sable Wilkes contains that of his sire, I
herewith tabulate it in order that the why and wherefore of
the power of both may be the more readily apparent.

Sable Wilkes offers to the public a new combination of
families, as far as regards his position as a stock horse, al-
though the families thus united are really off-shoots of
older tribes that have in past years combined in the produc-
tion of numerous great sires. A glance at the back lines of
the pedigree show two crosses of Mambrino Chief, two of
Pilot, Jr., two of Henry Clay, one of Seely's American Star,
and one of Rysdyk's Hambletonian. To get down nearer to
the animal in qnestiou, or to the subdivisions of these
tribes, we have as the most conspicuous featnres: George
Wilkes, Mambrino Patchen and The Moor, all of which are
recognized as remarkably potent factors in modern pedigrees.
Add to these the second dam in the above table: Gretchen
(dam of Romero, 2.19}; Del Bur, 2:24i; Inca, 2:27; and
Neluska, 2:30} at two years), and the producing force in
close crosses is remarkable. The mare Lady Dunn (second
dam of Guy Wilkes) by Seeb 's American Star, bred to
George Wilkes, produced Joe Bunker, 2:19J, and united with
MamorinO Patchen produced the dam of Guy Wilkes. From
many indications that have cropped out in the past ten
years, it has long been a theory of mine that had the blood
of Mambrino Chief and Seely's American Star been located
near each other, so that frequent direct crosses might have
occurred, a preat hit would bave been the result. The power
that Guy, 2:12, showed last season, confirms this view.
Whether the theory may or may not hold good, we have at
least in this case a harmonious blending, for George Wilkes,
in covering Lady Bunker, had, thiough her, two lines with
which he had in other cases hit remarkably. Not only did
he get Joe Bunker out of her dam, but from other daughters
of her sire he got such notables as Baron Wilkes, 2:18,
Alcantara, 2:23, Alcyone, 2:27, Rosa Wilkes, 2:18}, Wilkes
Boy, 2:24i, Georgiana, 2:26}, Auglin, 2:271, and Simmons,
2:?8. Perhaps, under the circumstances, it waslittle wonder
that Guy Wilkes should have tilled the mission of his blood,
and proved as fast as he is harmoniously bred. Tbe sons ot
George Wilkes, out of daughters of Mambrino Patchen that
"went into the stud earlier than Guy Wilkes, are likewise
proving remarkable sires. Though none uf them have yet
got as fast a representative as Guy Wilkes offers in Sable
Wilkes, yet his full brother, William L., haB shown in Axtel,
2:23, the fastest two-year-old ever bred outside of California,
which is another significant indication that the trend of the
family is toward very extreme powers. Alcyone, also a
brother iu blood to Guy Wilkes, has turned out a very rich
list of performers this year, having no less than four that
fall into the record list from 2:22 to 2:26}. These, with pre-
vious ones, bringB his number up to seven. Alcantara, an-
other brother in blood, has six. Simmons, another brother
in hlood, has this year put iu his first claims to consideration,
and in Gossiper, 2:291, and a trial against time in 2:22£ (lost)
at three years old, and Bon Bon, 2:26, at four years, makes
a beginning that foreshadow a brilliant career. Thus by
harmonious blood line, by individual speed, by premonitory
success already achieved in the stud, and by analagous in-
stances of stud success, Guy Wilkes has every voucher that
any horse can have so early in his career, that he will prove
a sire of the highest order if he lives and has health and op-
portunity. The bow of promise is as evidently symbolical
of his present standing, as the garnered sheaves are em-
blematic of the wealth that followed the impress of his re-
markable sire. It is a great thing in a sire that all his blood
is made up of harmonious Btrains, in which every cross is a
nick, and no obstruction intervenes to check the power of
the united currents.

And what of Sable Wilkes, the black son of Guy Wilkes,
out of Sable, daughter of the swarthy Moor? His speed
marks the highest notch on the three-year-old Btiok, and that
proves his individual claims. The blood of his sire flows in
harmonious lines, and is great in achievement, as we have
shown. Unlike his sire he hue no brothers in blood yet
tested in the stud wherewith to note the trend of his family
as progenitors, nor has the cross been tried enough to point
as yet to other fast trotters from it. He is himself the first-
born and the pioneer of his kind. But as coming events
oast their shadows before, so are the signs most encouraging.
The hurt. in of Guy Wilkes is warm with the daughters and
grand-daughters uf The Moor, and his progeny from them
makes the heart of their owner glad. Yet, while the cross is
but new, we are not altogether without our parallels to judgp
of its prospective power. Analyze the pedigree of thatj
brlliant Palo Alto family that sprung from Beautiful Bells,
daughter of The Moor; comprising Hinda Rose, 2:19,1 at three
years, Bell Boy, 2:19} at three years, St. Bel, 2:241 at four
'ears, and Chimes, 2:33.1, at two years. How wonderfully
ke Sable Wilkes they are in breeding as you rnn the lines
-nek to the mother tribes. Electioneer, who got them, is
.it the counterpart of George Wilkes. True, the Mambrino
I .tcheu Cross comes into Sable Wilkes through the dam of
Guv Wilkes, but a kindred cross through Bay Chief comes
in through Miunehaha, the dam of Beautiful Bells. With
bnl slight divergencies the two pedi-jiedB ure but a different

distribution of the same blood. But this is not the only par-
allel. Analyze the pedigree of the mighty Stamboul, whose
2:14£ marks him a veritable king of speed, and how like the
component parts are to these of Sable "Wilkes. Their order
ib reversed, it is true, but they hark back to the same source.
So it may be assumed with safety that the blood of The
Moor, which has united so happily with Guy Wilkes in the
production of Sable "Wilkes, will prove in general a harmo-
nious cross for him as it has already proved so great in cross-
ing with lines that are kindred to him.

The mares to which Mr. Corbitt is breeding these two
stallions are by The Moor, and his sons Sultan, 2:24, Del
Sur, 2:24$; by Electioneer, and his son Anteeo, 2:161; by Al-
mont, and bis son LeGrande, trial 2:24; by Alexander's Bel-
mont, Nutwood, 2 :18|. Arthnrton (by Hambletonian, dam
by Seely's American Star), and his full brother Irvington; by
Steinway (2:25} at three-year-old), Director, 2:17. etc. It is
not alone that his mares are by Buch good sires, but their
dams are fortified as well; so that in the second cross we
find daughters of Arthurton, Clark Chief, Gen. Taylor,
Belmont (California), Rysdyk's Hambletonian, Pilot, Jr.,
The Moor, Bald Chief, Whipple's Hambletonian, Culver's
Black Hawk, Almont, Sweepstakes, George Wilkes, Signal,
etc. In his broodmare list Mr. Corbitt has full sisters to
Beautiful Bells, Stamboul, 2:14£, Adair, 2:17}, A. Rose (two
miles in 5:22£ as a two-year. old), and other notables.

While the above are the most generally interesting fea-
tures of the San Mateo establishment, in view of present
"booms and fashions" one cannot fully realizs the grand
work that has been done here without reference to other
matters. Many years ago Mr. Corbitt bought in New York
State the two stallions Arthnrton and Irvington, full broth-
ers, by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, out of Imogene, by Seely's
American Star. Arthurton was least valued of the two when
purchased, but in the stnd he proved a fine breeder, his
progeny showing much of the Star quality. The fastest of
his get is Arab, 2:15, but there is evidence that his daughters,
a large number of which were turned into the San Mateo
Stud as brood mares as soon as old enough to breed, are des-
tined to prove a great find in the breeding problem, and this
brings us to the matter of the third stallion in use at this es-
tablishment.

Le Grande is a bay horse, 17 hands high, by Almont, out
of Jessie Pepper, by Mambrino Chief. When five years old
he showed a trial of 2:24, and his dam produced Alpha,
2:231, Iona, 2:22, and Iola, trial 2:27| . As Almont's dam was
by Mambrino Chief, it follows that Le Grande in breeding,
as indeed in conformation and impress, is essentially a Mam-
brino. He has been bred upon daughters of Arthurton quite
freely, his oldest foals naving appeared in 1885, among
which the three-year-old gelding Grandee during the past
year took a record of 2:23$, winning all his races, us he also
did in his two-year-old form, in which he took a record of
2:31$. This promises well for the Le Grande-Arthurton
cross, and in my study of pedigrees I have often fancied
that where Mambrino Chief and Hambletonian blood are
united the chances of success are greatly enhanced by the
presence also of the blood of Seely's American Star. I saw
Grandee trot some of his races, and one morning in his work
I caught him a quarter in 32A seconds. He is one of the
biggest-gaited horses that I ever saw trot, la's action being
very low, and with a sense of reaching for more ground than
it would seem possible for him to take without liriog, until
he gets well up to his speed, when the illusion disappears,
and the power of the propelling parts seem equal to driving
him on to his stride and to any limit that a horse can go.
Lady Thorne had similar action when she first appeared on
the turf. Grandee is of the greyhound type, with deep,
powerful quarters and no waBte lumber about him. Le
Grande's fillies will also be turned in as brood mares in cases
where they show satisfactory speed.

It will therefore be seen that in all branches and depart-
ments the standard of blood and performances in dntained at
the San Mateo establishment is very high. In breeding for
public competition only the best material is permanently suc-
cessful— the reBt is nowhere. Mr. Corbitt's stud catalogue
will not be published until after the foals of this year are
dropped, but the catalogue of his sale to take place in New
York in March is now being compiled by Peter C. Kellogg
& Co., who have already published an informal list. — Hark

He sends to this office i either names nor money. Persons
are cautioned against paying him money as his receipts will
not hereafter be honored.

Petaluma Two- Year-Old.

The crop of two-year-colts around Petaluma is very prom-
ising for this year. Of course eveiybody bas the best one —
or at least it will be considered the best" until the supreme
moment arrives, says the Petelnma Argus, and that will be
when the colt's nose reaches the wire. There will be lots of
horse;talk until after the fair. It has set in already in good
earnest. You hear of "fashionable strains," high form,"
"good conformation, docile disposition and natural speed. "
One man relies on his colt on account of ita relation to prom-
inent trottwrs. Another thinks well of hiB colt because it is
from a strain on the Bire's side that is noted for "breeding
on." Still another will say that his colt was sired by Wind-
splitter, and that it also "had a mother," tbat "great men
have great mothers, and great horses great dams." Since the
heavy rains set in and the gates of Agricultural Park were
closed, the speeding is done on the Lakeville road, iu grave
yard-lane, on the street east of Harvey Hayne's Chicken
Rancho, on some back streets, and wherever a piece of sand
road can be found. John Harrison is up behind a fine look
ing lot of Dawns, belonging to A. L. Whitney and others.
A. N. Barrel is driving Beveral of J. H .White's colts that we
have heard a good accouut of — by Hernanni and McClellan
dams, and also one by Marco, a son of Elector, that is said
to be very fast. Sid Sperry has a big tilly from Anteeo and
a Saltan mare that we like very much, and we frequently
see her moving along in a smooth, graceful way. John E.
Gwinn has a Dawn from an Alexander mare that is said to
be fast, though we have never seen it moved. It may be
that its fast work iB done on the sly. Walter Frost is driving
some young ones for J. R Rose, down at the ranch, which
are probably being broken for sale. ThiB Bcribe was pretty
well satisfied with his big Dawn tilly, from an El mo and Lodi
mare, until he saw a small boy driving a little bay tilly in the
grave-yard lane that had the speed of a ghost. The boy was
not inclined to be communicative at first, but he finally loos-
ened his tongue and proved a good talker. He said in sub-
stance: "The sire of this one has been under a cloud for
some time, but after the fair the banner of Rustic will float
proudly in the sunshine " "Then you have faith in your
trotter?" "That's what I have, for she's by Rustic, and he's
a Hambletonian and a Belmont. Her dam" is by Alexander,
and though he's dead, he's coming back through Alex. Dut-
ton, Yolo Maid and this filly." She is the property of Dr.
G. M. Saul of this city, and although a little under size, has
speed, smoothness, finish and quality that will be recognized
and called beautiful — after a public performance. TheBe are
two-year-olds, and a promising lot. but then, like many of
their predecessors, may not be heard of after this year. Wil-
fred Page has some good colts, but don't favor the idea of
trotting them at an early age. Capt. George A. Allen has a
Dawn colt from a daughter of Ethan Allen that is a big strong
fellow, and as well bred as any, that takes kindly to his work
but will not be driven for speed till he is five years old. It
is too soon to say anything about the yearlings. In fact,
none that we know of are at work.

Los Angeles Items.

The following news items are culled from the Los AngeleB
Tribune:

Mr. K. D. Wise is an enthusiastic Bporlsman, and is fast
gathering together a select lot of trotters. He owns Raj ih,
who has a record of 2:29£, but he was barely beaten iu a race
last season in 2:22. Rajah is by Snltan, out of Kitty Wilkes.
Besides Rajah the doctor owns Semi-Tropic, by Sultan, dam
Lady Maokay; Glendine, by Judge Sanlsbury, dame Tem-
pest. He also possesses a nine-months-old* foal by Guy
Wilkes, out of Tempest. The doctor several days Bines re-
fused $2500 for the youngster. The doctor is also fortunate
in owning euch a good brood mare as Temppsfc.

Brant G., the property of George Gard, Jr , and Billy
Hammel, has been placed in charge of "Knap" McCarthy.
"Knap" expects to drive the horse a quarter in 37X seconds.
Brant G. was foaled in 1884, and is by Anteeo out of Bel**
montine.

"Knap" McCarthy now owns a solid silver trotter. It is
attached to a clook, and was presented to him on New Yt-ar's
day by Mr. Seamans, the owner of BeU Boy.

Ed Smith of Los Angeles has purchased from Charles
Burch of Chicago a bay gelding by Swigert, Jr.

There are two new arrivals at Rosemeade. One is bv
Stamboul out of Highland Maid, and the other is by Alcazar
out of Bon Bon. They are both colts.

Death of Three Times Three.

Some friend has sent us a copy of the Field and Farm of
Denver, Col., from whioh the following is clipped:

Maitl&nd, a grand stallion owned by Col. J. W. Dwyer and
used at hisfiPadraluna horse breeding ranch in Colfax County
New Mexico, died on Christinas day. The horse bad beet!
injured by another stallion. Maitland was sired by Virgioim
he by Lexington, and was twenty-two-years old at time of his
death. Col. Dwyer also lost by accident his stalliou Tbree
Times Three. He was sired by imported Hurrah, and was
out of Wauanita, and she by imported Bonnie'Scoilaud.
Wauanita was the granddaughter of Old Fashion. 'Three
Times Three," writes the colonel, "had an eventful career.
Was bred by John Reber of Lancaster, Ohio, on whote farm is
buried Old Fashion, and over whose grave is u nice monu-
ment. At two years of age Three Tmes Three was sold by
Mr. Reber to Mr Simpson, editor of the Bkerdkr and
Sportsman of San Francisco, California. While in training
and considered one of the most promising colts on the Pacific
slope, he broke his leg. Failing to get good veteriuary ser-
vice there, (he horse was placed in a sling on board of a car
and taken to Chicago, where damages were repaired. He
subsequently fell into Mr. Reber's hands again, and from
him I purchased him in 1879, and have been breeding him
here ever since."

There is a slight mistake in the above, as the editor of thia
paper, bred Three Times Three and sold him to Mr. ReLer.

Australian Horses.
As Seen by an American.

Capt. Thomas Merry, of Portland, Oregon, is no longer
young, but he certainly looked a picture of ruddy health as
he entered our sanctum last Monday morning, and extended
his hand.

"Australia has evidently agreed with you," we Baid, as we
motioned him to a chair. "How long have yon been back?'*
"A week ago last Saturday," replied Hidalgo, "my wife
was none too well when we landed, and she has Bince been
dangerously ill, which has prevented my calling on friends as
much as I should have liked."

"The voyage has evidently agreed with you, "we remarked.
"Very much indeed. I left here weighing 217 pounds, and
have dropped down to 204, which is a blessing in itself."

"Did you travel much about the country while you were
in the colonies?" we inquired.

"Yob, about three thousand miles by rail, and some by
water. 1 saw some large sheep stations where the men were
slaughtering the lambs to save the ewes from death by star-
vation, which was not a pleasing spectacle to contemplate.
I also visited several large horse-breeding farms."
"Which pleased you the most?"

"Well, that's hard to say. I was equally well treated at
each of them, and those fellows are the very soul of hospi-
tality. I never saw a farm conducted in better shape than
the St. Albans, owned by Mr. John Crozier. It iB about
forty miles from Melbourne, on the old road leading from
Geelong to Ballarat, and is divided ud into some twenty^pac-
dockn, in which not only distinctions of Bex are observed,
but age as well. 1 never saw more perfect system in every-
thing."

"The old horse that gave his name to the farm died laBt
summer— did you see him V

"I did not, much to my regret. Mr. Chapman, of the
Australasian, waB to have taken me down there, but before I
was ready to accompany him the old horse had died. He
was not the horse that won the St. Leger of 1860, but one of
the same name. He was by Blair Athol, and imported into
Tasmania as a yearling. He was the only horse that ever
got two winners of ihe Melbourne Cup — Malna and Sheet
Anchor. The latter was an in-and-out sort of horse, and
won it with a, very light weight, although the field was the
largest that ever started for it — thirty-four. This year the
field was 28, the same as in Malua's year. Malua I regard as
the most consistent performer ever saddled up in Australia,
not even excepting Darebin, by whom they swear. Malua
won the Melbourne Cup with 135 pounds up in 3:30£, beat-
ing Commotion and Plausible, aod carrying thirty-six pounds
more than Sheet Anchor, who ran it a second faster. When
Malua was beaten ic took kings like Sir Modred and Nelson
to do it."

"By the way, how did people seem to regard_Sir Modred
down there, Mr. Merry ?"

"As a phenomenal race horse, though hardly equal to
Darebin. He was run also by a very crooked party and got
the rope very often when he should have won. He was the
cause of the incarceration of Holt, the cashier of the New
Zealand Bank in Sydney."
"How did that come about?"

"It's too long a story to tell juBt now, but some rainy night
when I get home in Portland, with my slippers on and a pipe
in my mouth, 1 will write it up for you. I think," continued
Capt. Merry, "that Sir Modred was quite as good a horse as
Malna if he had been run as honestly. He beat him the
only time they ever met."

"What has Mr. Crozier, tha owner of the St. Albans stud,
done .to replace their old horse?"

"He has Robinson Crusoe, the sire of Trident and Naviga-
tor, both Derby winners. Crusoe is a handsome brown horse
and was a Sydney Derby winner himself. Then there is
First King who won the Champion Stakes, three mileH, in
5-.25J with 129 pounds up, and the Australian Cup also in
fast time. He also has My lord, a beautiful chestnut, 5
yeara old, by Epigram out of Olive. He won six races out
of eleven btartP, all in fast time, and broke down in training
for the Caulrield Cop. I tried to persuade Mr. Crozier to
import either Hanover or Emperor of Norfolk for his mares
but he seemed to think he had stallions enough."
"Did you think bis mares equally good?"
"Yes, although I pjefer some that Mr. Gardner has at
Bandoora, where Darebin was foaled."
"Oh, you went theie, did you?"

"I did and was never more cordially received. The old
gentlemen invited King O'Malley, Strattord Strettle and my-
self out there to lunch on his birthday; and a more typical
British feast yon never taw. He is a princely host and a
very tine breeder, but his stallions, always excepting little
Suwarrow, are not equal to his mares.
"What was Suwarrow':1"

*' The most exquisite little gray horse I ever saw. He is
barely fifteen hands one inch high, and iB as highly formed
ae old True Blue. He carried 128 pounds in the Melbourne
Cup of 1879, but was third to Darriwell, who carried 102 and
Sweetheart 108. He was the greatest horse for his size that
ever ran in Australia. The other sires are The Hook, by
Fish Hook, son of the renowned Fisherman; and PreciouB
Stone a very pretty black horse. He showed us a gray filly
by Suwarrow, out of Lurline, the dam of Darebin, that ought
be a second Miss Woodford."

"Did he show you Lurline as well?"

"He did, and i havi seen bnt one such mare in all my life
— Seline, owned by Major Doswell. And even she was infe-
rior to Lurline in Bize and power. I tell you that such mares
as Lurline and Calumny are to be found about once in a cen-
tury. Those mares were bred in New Zealand, and got by
Traducer, who v. as alao the sire of Sir Modred. When they
got over into Australia they begau to win races, right and
left. The handicappers popped the weight to them, but it
took 146 pounds to stop Lurline and 144 to down Calumny.
For some cause or other, Calumny has not bred as well as
Lurline. Calumny won the Hawkesbury handicap at three
years old, with 119 pounds in 3:35, and held hard at that.
Lurline won the Adelaide cup, two miles in 3:33 with 123 up,
giving as high as 32 pounds to some horses in the race. I got
a tape Hue and measured her across the hips 25£ inches, and
around the girth 75.1 inches. Such mares a man sees about
once in a lifetime."

"What race-horse most took your fancy down there?"
"1 liked the Australian Peer best of ail," said the oaptain,
after a moment's hesitation. "He is hardly as handsome a
horse as "Whakawai, but a good deal more substantial. Men-
tor can beat eiiber of them after they have gone a mile and a
half, however."

"By the way, what sort of a looking horse is Mentor?"

"A very plain-looking horse, with a Homan nose, and no

particular pretensions to beauty, but a more serviceable horse

never wore a saddle. He is about such a looking horse an old

Norfolk — a light bay, but not marked like Mr. Winter's old

horse. His dam, Nightmare, is own sister to Commotion,
one of the best all-round horses in the world. I do not base
my opinion of Mentor so much on his performance in the
Cup (though he beat 27 horses), as in the Royal Park stakes
four days later."

"And what was that, Captain?'*

"It was a dash of three miles, two whirls of the track, with
weight for age; Cyclops carried 134 pounds, being six years
old; and Mentor and the Australian Peer, being four years
old, carried 128 pounds each. The first mile was very slow,
but they got nearly abreast of the Maribyrnong stand, and
tben came such a fight as I never saw. I timed the second
whirl in 2:35i, and started my watch on the Peer and stopped
it on little Mentor. My fellow-commissioner, Mr. Wheeler,
made it 2:35|, so I could not have been far out of the way.
It was the greatest performance I ever Baw. Power eased
the Peer up, when he found he could not catch Mentor, and
let Cyclops get second money."

"Did you see Abercorn while you were there, and what
did you think of him as compared with the Australian
Peer?"

"Yes, I saw him frequently, a beautiful, golden ohestni.il,
with a narrow blaze and three white feet. I deem him the
fastest horse I ever sawwhen he can run at all. He got lame
just before the Melbourne Cup and was soratched. As com-
pared with the Peer, my opinion of him is just this: You let
the pace be set very hot from the start and Australian Peer
will be the victor. But let them begin by cantering for the
first part of the race, with three-quarters of a mile more to go
at a strong clip, and Abercorn can beat any horse in the
world. He comes of a very speedy family. His half-brother,
Carlyon, would be my preference over him, to be imported
here as a stock-horse."

* In a general way, how did Australia impress you as a
racing country?"

"It is the greatest handicap racing country in the world,
but the stakes for two and three-year-olds are inferior to ours.
Why, just think of it, the Victoria Derby had 124 subscribers,
of which seven only came to the post; and of these not a
singly entry was either bred or owned in the colony of Vic-
toria. In the Maribyrnong Plate of 97 subscribers, 19 came
to the "Post." This is the great two-year-old race of Aus-
tralia, as the added money is £1000. In the Derby it is only
£650. The Derby was founded in 1860 and the Maribyr-
nong in 1871, and in all that time no Maribyrnong winner
has won the Derby."

"How are the Australian horses for size and substance?"

"Far and away ahead of onrs. They have more size and a
good deal more bone, thiB being especially true of the horses
produced on the limestone soil within fifty miles of Mel-
bourne. Mr. Crozier's yearlings had hocks and knees as big
as many of our three-year-olds. Well, I reckon I'll have to
be going, as I have an appointment at the Oakland Ferry.
Good-day, and good luck to you. Come up to Portland next
August, and have some fly-fishing with me on Trask river."

Orrin A. Hickok's Stable.

One has no idea what a pretty sight can be seen at the Bay
District Track any nice clear day when the numerous trotters
now there are being put through their paces. The inside
track is devoted entirely to the thoroughbreds, numbers of
them being constantly exercised, while the outside course is
devoted to the trotting class, and their kindred, the pacers.
A few days ago, while on a visit to the stables, Orrin A.
Hiokok kindly laid aside all cares for a time and showed a
representative of the Beeeder amd Sportsman through his
stable, and expiatiated on the merits of each horse. There is
hardly another horseman in America that the average re-
porter can glean so much information from, in such a short
space of time, as he can from this veteran driver, He seems
to understand just what is wanted, and does not wait to be
asked a multitude of qnestions, but tells all that is to be said
so concisely and to the point that no time is wahted whatever.
Naturally the first of the stable shown was the redoubtable
Arab, who looked *'tit as a fiddle," and seemingly happy in
the consciousness that all beholders were aware of the fact
that 2:15 is no measure of bis speed. His sleek, glossy coat
shone like a mirror, as the groom walked him up and down,
and the look of affection that passed frequently between mas-
ter and horse was token enough that eaoh was satisfied with
the other. Mr. Hickok has a game and speedy gelding in
Arab, and if perchance he take the horse back East this year
his record will be lowered beyond question.

In Adonis, 2:14^-, a pacer of no mean quality is found. It
would be needless to recite over again the eventful history of
this horse, as it is known to everyone, but it still is a mooted
question how fast he can go. That he should have made the
time he did in one season was marvellous, but it is an open
secret to frequenters of the turf that he can knock sevtral
nicks from his present notch.

The next horse to attract attention was Charles Derby, a
high-spirited, but level-headed four-year-old, the property of
Mr. Cook, of the Cook Stock Farm. This colt has no record,
and Mr. Hickok is too conservative a trainer to prophesy won-
ders for him, yet still the quiet "I like him very much,"
was enough to convince the reporter that Derby will be beard
from on the circuit. Derby is bred as follows: by Steinway
(2:25), be by Strathmore, sire of Santa Claus, 2:174; Tucker,
2:19; Skylight Pilot, 2:19; and many others in the" 2:30 list.
1st dam Katy B by Electioneer, 2nd dam fanny Malone by
Niagara, and so on back to the beginning of stud books.

Three fine blood like fillies, all three-year-olds, were then
led out, these also being the property of Mr. Cook. The first
has a very appropriate name, which she does not belie,
"None Better," and if looks amount to anything in trotters
she will prove herself worthy of the title. She is a beautiful
bay by Allandorf, he by Onward, the dam of Allandorf being

; the celebrated Alma Mater (dam of Alcantara, 2:23; Alcyone,

j 2:27; and Arbiter, 2:30.) The dam of None Better is Bashaw
Belle by Green's Bashaw, and she also has a string of grand-

■ dams that would fill a column. The second was a chestnut
filly, named Algerdeita, by Allandorf, 1st dam King Girl, 2nd

I dam by Wilson's Bine Bull. Of the third it is unnecessary
to say more than that she is a full sister to Phil Thompson,
whose 2:16£ gives the hall mark to anything that haB identi-
cal blood lines.

Next on the' list came the handsomo brown mare Lillie
Stanley, wbo made a seosation last year in lowering her
record to 2:17A. Mr. Hickok justly says she is the best
mare that trotted in California in 1888. In one of her races
she won the fourth heat in 2:201, the fifth heat in 2:19J and
the sixth heat in 2:21, thus proving her speed and endurance.
Lillie Stanley has made a name for Whippleton and it is fair
to presnme that this stallion will be worth a mint to his
owner, Mr. F. W. Lueber.

In the siring is a horse owned by Mr. Wilfred Page of
Sonoma county, called Electric, by Electioneer, dam a fnll
sister to Manon. Although by horse rule be has pushed his
third biithday, still In lucks several months of being three

years old. A beautiful animal, perfect in figure, grand in
gait and exquisitely bred, he should, bar accident, be a credit
to owner and trainer.

A fine bay colt owned by Mr. Ariel Lathrop was next
looked at, and as far as color is concerned he is perfect, there
not being a white mark on him. He iB three years old, Bired
by Electioneer, dam by Don Victor thoroughbred; second
dam by Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Mr. Hickok has given
him several trials, one-quarter being timed in 321 seconds,
while he has gone a half mile in 1:14. This horse has
undoubted great speed aod is a worthy representative of his
illustrious sire. Mr. Lathrop may be congratulated on
possessing such a magnificent Bpecimen of Electioneers get,
and it is to be hoped the public will have a chance to see
him at his best this summer.

Another very promising mare is one owned by Mr. A. B.
Spreckles. She is six years old, and has already entered
the charmed circle, having a record of 2:28£.

Last, though far from being least, is the little beauty Peep
O'Day, owned jointly by Messrs. Page and Hickok. This
son of Dawn is as pretty as a picture, and as kind and gentle
as he is good looking. While not yet twenty-two months
old, he can show a. gait that is surprisingly fast. Mr.
Hickok had him out for a trial, but it would not be fair to
the owners to tell how fast Peep O'Day did go. Mr. Hickok
was asked if he had heard of the rumor that Stamboul was
for sale, and he answered, "Yes, I have been negotiating
with parties in the East for his sale, the price being $50,000,
and even at that figure Mr. Rose will not give one cent com-
mission, for he considers the horse worth every penny of
the money. If he should sell, he would have to pay fancy
prices for another to take his place, for while Alcazar is a
great stallion, it would be necessary to have one other at
Rosemeade." On asking Mr. Hickok if he had positively
made up his mind to go East with hiB trotters and pacers
this year, he replied, ''I have settled nothing as yet, but
there is a strong probability that I shall not go; of course I
can not Bay for certain, but things look that way at present.
If I do make the trip, I will take Arab, Adonis, Stamboul
and two or three of the young ones."

Among the many one, two aid three-year-old colts and

Racine Rules of Olden Times.

Marvelous changes have been made in racing rules during
the past two hundred years. The following wili show what
was then in vogue in England:

1. Ihe horses are all to meet at Sparton hilltop between 11
and 12 o'clock, where the riders are to be justly weighed, the
weight 10 stone down-weight, by the weight (as they call
them) of "aver-du-poyse, " the horses are to be bridled, sad-
dled and shod. After the riders are justly weighed by such
a gentleman as shall be deemed to be a just jadge not only
of the riders' weight but also to judge impartially who comes
first to the stonp, another gentleman must be appointed to
the twelve-Bcore stonp, to judge what horse is rid out of dis-
tance, which is a main business, and a third must be desired
to Bee them start fair. 2. The horses must be led down
from Spartan bill to the starting-place, and there must be
three heats, the first heat to Spartan hill, there to rub half
an hour, and then the judge is to give them a warniog to get
up and| start; but if in that half hour they relieve their
horBes with anything bat faire water, or if they ride out of
distance, or riders want weight, tbey must lose the cup; only
there 1b allowed two pounds for wasting. The second heat if
to end where they begin last, and two gentlemen must be
desired to see not only who comes first to the stoup, but at
the twelve-score stoop who rides out of distance and who
not; and 'twere well to have a flag at the ending stoup of
each heat to be let down as soon as the first horse is past the
stoup for the judges' eaByer discerning who rides within dis-
tance and who not; the riders must be weighed every heat,
the relief is to be ooly water, the rub but half an hour, and
then the judge is to bid them mount. 3. There being three
beats, he that wins the most heats wins the cup, so he rideB
within distance, not otherwise, but that horse which is fore-
most the last beat; this will m.ike tbem ride for it. The
stakes are ten shillings a horse, and to be put into the hands
of the judges, who are to deliver them to the second horse.
4. He that winB the cup saves his own stakes; the second
horse shall have all the rest. 5. It is to be considered that
if any rider whip another rider's horse ou th<
back another's bridle, he shall lose the cup. 6.
most ride in with the horses, to face, stop or i
or any other way to hinder them, but must
tbem. If any such fault is committed, I □

Oats. Nor was be a Horse-man at all, bnt only took Notes of
Meaioines, and Bet them down Methodically.

After him comes De La Gray, which is but, Blundevil, with
some new Medicines that are but Indifferent: And for his
Breeding of HorseB, it is the most Ridiculous thing that ever
Was known Writ.

The Best Medicines of Mr. Blundevil's, are those of Mar-
tine, who was Prime Marshal to Queen Elizabeth; And a3, I
take it, an Alman, and an Excellent Farrier: Yet, even he,
was extremely Mistaken about the Glanders, and Mourning
ot the Chine, as by my Woeful Experience in Horses I know,
and will better inform you, when I set out my Book of
Marshalry, and Shoeing.

Mr. Blundevil says. That Barley makes a Horse Piss Red,
like Blood; bat he did not Understand it perfectly. It is
True; In Italy, Spain, and Barbary, they Feed their Horses
all with Barley; which is, Because they have no Oats: For,
certainly Excellent Oats is the best Feeding for a Horse in
the World. But you must Know, that of Barley there are
Two kinds; The Common Barley, that they make Beer of,
which makes a Horse Piss a little Red; and of that Barley
they never Give to their Horses in Spain, but of the other
Barley, which is called by the Name of Bigg, and that never
makes them Piss Red, and is the best Feeding for Horses,
where there Wants Oats: Rye Scoure's too Much, and Wheat
is too Fatning, and Good Bread too Pursey, and Foggy. In
Spain they give Barley-Straw (as my Lord Cottington told
me); but firBt, they Tread it with Oxen, and then it is as Soft
as Silk. And thus for our English Authors, of whom I have
told you the truth.

The Opinion of a
GREAT MASTER.

A great Master, held the most Excellent Horse-man beyond
tt e Sea, being Bred four or five Tears under the Best Horse-
man there, and had Practiced this Art from his Child-Hood,
d'd me the Honor, To come to Antwerp of a Visit to me from
Brussels, and Brought with him four or five Horses: I
Treated him the Best I could, and showed him my Horses,
both Led Out, and Rid.

He had a Young Man with him (his Nephew) who had rid
under him for the space of Seven Years: And though he had
seen Rid, before him, the Day afore. Three of the Readiest
Horees that ever I had, yet when he Rid them, he could not
Euconnter them, or make them Go at all; and truly, to my
Thinking (I might say to my Knowledge) he had neither
Hand, Heel, nor Seat, as he should have had; and so it was
impossible to make them Go Right.

His Master told me, He had found a New Method for Dress-
ing of Horses: Which was; first, Never to Trot a Horse,
(that was his Maxim): Next, Never to Use the Cavezon, nor
pall the Horses Head into the Turn. This is, What he
would Not have Done: And, What he would have Done, is;
To put the Horse to the Single Pillar, with a Long Rope, and
there Pinch him with the SpurB, which, says he, Puts him
upon the Hand: Then to Whip him About with tho Sham-
briere, to make him Go half Terra a Terra, and half in Cor-
vets, and then to make him Go in Corvets; which settles him
on the Hand: And this is the New Way of Dressing; Indeed,
of Not Dressing Horses.

To take in Pieces, and Anatomize this New Way: And
first, of what he will Not have Done; which is, Never to Trot
a Horse, and Stop him; which is certainly the Foundation of
all Things in the Manuage, either to settle him on the Hand,
or to put him on the Hanches. Next, Never to Use the Cave-
zon, without which no Horse can be Drest, for many Rea-
sons. Then, Never to Pull the Horses Head into the Turn:
By which means the Horses Legs, and Body, shall never go
Right, or supple either to Hand or Heel.

Now, of what he will have done to "Work his Horse: First,
To put him to the Single Pillar, with a Long Rope, and there
Pinch him with Spurs; which will do Bravely with a Colt,
that never knew the Spurs; he will surely Throw him rather
than be put upon the Hand: Nay, a Horse that knows the
Spurs, will never be put upon the Hand with that Invention.

Then to Whip him about with the Shambriere, to make
him go half Terra a Terra, and half Oorvets; which is impos-
sible, for they are two several Actions with his Legs:
Besides, this excellent Lesson is in Pluvinel's Book; which
he never used, but to a Horse that was Almost Drest; and
it is naught, then: Pot him in Coryets, to settle him on the
Hand, says he, which is in La Broues'Book, only for a Horse
that is near Drest, and not for a Colt: Besides, some Horses
will never go Corvets, do what yon can: So this Method may
Spoil Horses, but shall never DreBs them, I assure you; and
you may take my "Word for it. He will (by his New Method)
never Trot, Gallop, or Walk a Horse; but no Horse in the
World can be Made without These Three, nor without a
Cavezon, Stopping, and having his Head Full'd into the
Turn.

A strange Conceit of a
GREAT MASTER.

There was a Great Master, that would Ride his Horses
Twice a Day; saying, That if he could Dress a Horse in Six
Months, Once a day Riding of them, he was sure he could
Dress a Horse in Three Months, Riding them Twice a Day;
Wherein he is much Deceived: For a Horse being Flesh
and Blood, cannot endure perpetual Travel with little Rest;
and no Exercise is more Violent for a Horse than in the
Mannage. Nay, of Necessity, Riding so much One Morning,
he will not Recover it of a Day or Two: And if a Horse
Oppose the Man, which all Horses will do at First, and are
Villous, one mast Correct him Soundly; and, How will yon
Ride him in the Afternoon again? Doll him yon may, and
take off his Spirit, make him Hate the Mannage, and train
him like a Vaulting Horse, rather than lite alive Horse.
Nor can you ever Give him his Meat, Water, or Rest, in
Order; the Want of which must make him Siok, and subject
to many Diseases; and Shortly after, Death will follow: and
there is your Twice a day Riding him, which Makes him fit
for the Hunts- Man to Dress him for his Dogs.

Some say again. That they will Ride no Horse Twice a
Day, but Horses that are very Vitions, and of great Strength:
I have seen many Horses that are Vitious, but few of such
great Strength. For. if the Horse be very Vitious, you must
Correct him Soundly, and Ride him so long until he Obey
you, in some small Measure; and then I am sure yon have
Hid him so Violently, and bo long, as he will hardly be to be
Rid the next Morning; and Lesp, to be Rid any more that
Day: And if the Horse be so Dooile as to Obey you in
Every Thing, certainly the Best way is to take but a Little of
him that Morning, to Encourage him to do so again; and the
more ,o Encourage him, not to Ride him until the next Morn-
ing vsain: so he will be Pleasant, Lively, ard in the Lust,
and i iko Pleasure in you, and the Mannage; and Learn more
Thi in a Month's Riding him bnt Once a day, than he shall

-i I >-ee Months, Riding him Twice a day.
JldVenot all Scholars Play-days? and certain Hours of Rest

li their daysof Study? All Trades-Men, Holidays to Rejoice

themselves in? States:Men, Divertisments from Business?
And Good Preachers Preach not every Sunday? Have not
Lawyers also their Terms, and Vacations; and even Carrier's
Horses Rest Christmas, and other Holidays; and bo Cart-
Horsea, Brewer's HorseB, Coach-HorseB, Hackney-Horaes,
Running-Horses? And shall only Horses of Mannage be
Galley-Slaves5 There is no Reason for that. No, not dogs
oan Hunt every day, or Grey-Hounds Course every day, or
Spaniels Range every day; or Hawks Fly every day; there
are hundred Examples of it, but These are sufficient to let
yon see the great Folly, and Ignorance, of those that will
Ride their Horses of Mannage Twice a Day.

Just let the Polander, being- Sick, whose Physician gave
him Nine Pills to be taken. Three every Night, for Three
Nights together; who very Wisely considered, That if Three
Pills every Night, for Three Nights together, would Recover
him; That then, taking All the Pills One Night, would Make
him Well Presently. And bo .did, ind had AlmoBt Purged
himself Oat of this World.

So any Horse-man that will Venture to Make a Horse as
well in Three Monthe, with Two Lessons a Day, as another
in Six Months with one Lesson a Day, may be sure to Kill
his Horse, sooner than Teach him, and to show himself
Ridiculous in his undertaking.

A few weeks aco a gentleman requested us to give him the
history of Walnut Bark. Not being able to shed any light on
the matter, we requested our readers to send in any informa-
tion they might have on the subject. Mr. A. E. DeCamp, of
Los Angeles, kindly forwards the following answer:

Walnut Bark was brought to Oregon near Engeue City, about
1864. Ee was a quarter horse without breeding, and
took his name from his peculiar color. Some six years ago a
man named John Adams had a stallion, s t b. by the above
Walnut Bark. He was a bay, and was likewise a short horse.
Nothing further is known of him.

Fine Horse Dead.

On Monday of last week, the 14th instant, the fine old stal-
lion Index retired from a long and useful life, says the Phoe-
nix Herald, A. T. He was brought to this valley by Dave
BalBz, from Oakland, California, eleven years ago, and though
he has been in various hands since then Dave has always
been bis owner. Index was a fine specimen of the trotting
stallion, and opened our race tracks here on the fairgrounds,
and gave it a record by making a hall mile in 1:18, driven
by Schofield, two years ago, when he was 26 years old. He
died at 28, and leaves numerous colts that show hiB fine
breeding and speed, among which are Index Jr.. the fastest
trottiDg stallion in the southwest to-dav. Dave Balsz mourns
tbe demise of his favorite horse as of an old and faithful
friend.

Joe Courtney has been receiving many congratulations from
friends on account of the fine showing that the Australian
colts are making under his handling at the Sacramento Track.
I saw Mr. Newton, their owner, a day or two ago, and he
expresses the utmost confidence in his Antipodean purchases,
and no wonder, for finer blood never ran in horses veins than
through those of hiB late importations.

Mr. W. Thompson, of Franktown, Nevada, has two ex-
ceedingly fine two-year-old colts sired by Three Cheers,
which he will put in exeroiee shortly and determine their
worth. The grandsons of old imp. Hurrah are becoming
extremely fashionable of late, their extraordinary speed
placing them among the most favored ones.

C. J. Hamlin has been aBked by Washington oersons to sell
Chimes, his famons young stallion, and haB replied that be
will sell him for $50,000. Chimes was bred by Leland Stan-
ford, was foaled April 4, 1884, has a two-year-old record of
2:334, was Bired by Electioneer, and is a full brother to St.
Belli

I don't think my hand shake with Dr. Geo. W. Eckstein,

of Philadelphia, was quite as cordial as I extend to most

people, for he was the gentleman sent out by E. Steele, Esq..

to purchase Antevolo, aud when I found that the grand

stallion was really goiDtf to leave California. I somehow felt

I that the Doctor had done the State an act of injury. How-

| ever, before he left for his far Eastern home, I found him a

I genial companion, and so wish him God speed.

Well, Antevolo ia sold.

Jockey Barnes has not bo good an opinion of Proctor Knott
as Sam Bryant.

Salina, the dam of Salvator, will be bred tbis season to
Gaadelope, a son of imp. Prince Charlie.

J. G. Sanchez of HolHster, has sold the trotting stallion
Billy Mathews to a party in Los Angeles.

There is a rumor current that Senator George Hearst is
negotiating for a tine stock farm in the neighborhood of
Pleasanton. __^

A match has been arranged in Los Angeles, for a race
between Weloome and Niacho B., tha stake Baid to be for
$200 a side.

J. C. Wolfskill has taken "Dick Taylor' from Sacramento
to Sonona County. Taylor is a fine iron gray stallion, by Stein-
way, dam a Belmont mare.

J. H. Hamilton of Fresno, one of the prominent breeders
of that section, has lately purchased another farm fifteen
miles east of Fresno.

Plunger Walton, who ran his pile up to millions on the
turf a few years ago, is now offering his last horse, the im-
ported stallion Richmond, for sale.

Tuesday of this week Col. Younger of San Jose and Mr.
A. P. Whitney of Petalama were at the Bay District, looking
at horses and attending the cattle sale.

Victor Von Bismarck at T. E. Moore's, Shawhan, Ky., was
the most successful sire of trotters, of from one to five years
old, in Kentucky the past year.

D. J. Kramer, of Haywards, Alemeda County, has pur-
chased from H. C. Gade, of Anaheim, a two-year-old Norman
Stallion, by Papillien. His weighs 1900 pounds.

The Rural Spirit of Portland announces that a match race
has been arranged between the trotting mares Susie S. and
Lady Maud, best three in five, for $600 a side.

Jim Nave b g by Lucifer— Ginger Pop wsb started in sixty
five races last year, of which he won three. This is a greater
number of races than any other horse started in in 1888.

The new Monmouth race track will have a straightaway
course of 1$ miles, a circular track of 1| miles, and an exer-
cising track of a mile. Each will be one hundred feet wide.

There is a rumor afloat that a trotting match has been
arranged to take place to-day at tue track, for $250 a Bide.
What grounds there are for the rumor I do not know, being
unable to find the parties who are supposed to be interested.

Several fine colts have been missed lately from W. H.
Abbott's ranch near Olema. A few days ago the partially
devoured carcass of one of them was found, which indicated
that it was the work of California lions.

Already quite a discussion has arisen iu reference to which
is the best bred horse, Three Cheers, or the new purchase of
Mr. Gebhard's, Friar Tuck. Both horses have warm friends,
and the dispute waxeth hot. ,

Preciosa, who has been for a long time at the Elmendorf
Stud Farm, has been relegated back to the brood farm of
Mr. Haggin. This first class mare, than whom there is no
better bred in America, will probably be bred to Darebin.

On Wednesday, January 23rd, Charles Durfee drove the
bay pacing mare Ellwood a mile in 2:20 at Los Angeles.
Hancock Johnson offered a purse of a hundred dollars, if she
could beat 2:23$, and the mare had no difficulty in winning
easily.

Harry J. Agnew has shipped to Honolulu, per ship S. G.
Wilder, a fine filly, which he has named Angie "Wilkes. She
is by Guy "Wilkes, 2:15£, dam Maud (pacer), 2:20. He has
also shipped Millie, a trotting mare, and a young colt by
Gladiator.

The latest sporting gossip from Paris is that the French
Jockey Club have decided to raise the stakes in the Grand
Steeplechase d'Antueil from 60,000 francs to 120,000 ($24,000).
The mania for large stakes seems to have broken out even in
the land of the Giand Prix.

Mr. J. I. Case of Racine, Wisconsin, is rusticating in the
Southern portion of the State. He is confident that his
celebrated trotting gelding Jay-Kye-See is as good as ever he
was, and has sustained no permenant injury from the
accident that happened two months ago.

Jim Guest, who thinks he is one of the greatest fools in
the country, for ever selling Terra Cotta, now thinks he has
a colt in Heron that can beat Proctor Knott. Perhaps Guest
will think he never did know any thing, when the two three-
year-olds meet at Chicago.

T had a pleasant chat a few dayB ago with Mr. C. L. Mans-
field of St. Louis, who is combining business with pleasure
while on a visit here, as he intends purchasing some Califor-
nia trotting horses before he returns. Mr. Mansfield is
already the owner of several fast ones, but wishes to add to
their number,

Mr. L. U. Shippee has eight or ten youngsters at Sacra-
mento, which, under the able management of Ab Stemler,
are oreating a sensation among those who have Been them
work. Report hath it that Mr. Shippee will, before long,
have a stable second to none in the country.

There seems to be a very strong belief in the minds of
many Eastern turf writers that at the coming meeting of the
Turf Congress, to revise the rules, an amendment will be
passed relative to the bookmakers' alliance, in accordance
with the suggestion of the American Jockey Club.

There are trainers at Jerome Park who say that tbe great
unbeaten French Park cannot stand training, and that he
will never face the post. Mr. Hyland, on the contrary,
thinks he can fit him for two or three races at least, but in
all probability will not try to prepare him for aDy ot the races
prior to the "Withers stake.

Mr. E. J. Baldwin told roe some time ago that the report
ahout R. W. Thomas having a stable of his own had no
foundation in faot. I find now that he was correot, as
Thomas will train for John Carter, Esq., of Nashville, In
the stable are KasBon aud Almera, both of which are engaged,
in the Two Thousand and the Kentucky Derby,

"We don't know who 'Grim* is on the Breeder and
Sportsman, but we know that tbe paper has improved won-
derfully since he oommenced." — Rural Spirit. Many thanks,
but Grim's Gossip is only one of many new ohangea con-
templated by the management. It is proposed to have Buch
a paper that no horseman can get on without it.

Mr. L. J. Rose has, or rather had, a magnificent two-year-
old colt by Stamboul, dam Minnehaha, which he prized very
highly, but temptation in the shape of a check for $12,500
from Mr. Bradshawof Butte, Montana, has caused the Los
Angeles breeder to dispose of the fineBt cole ever raised at
Rosemeade.

It is now thought that the Pacific Co^st Blood Horse Asso-
ciation will have to sue the estate of the late David McClure.
The suit, if brought, will be a friendly one, and is necessary,
to protect the administrator, aa he can do by court order
what he is unwilling to take the responsibility of doing,
unless the courts so decree.

Mr. T. H. Buckingham, of Vacaville, is about to build on
bis farm a half mile track. This becomes necessary on ac-
count of the large number of young colts which the gentle-
man has this year. J. M. Bassford, Jr., a near neighbor of
Mr. Buchanan, will challenge the latter for a colt race as
soon as the course is finished.

Some years ago a picture of Anteeo appeared in the Breed-
er and Sportsman, a copy of whioh was enlarged by the order
of W. B. Sanborn of Santa Rosa. Since it has become known
that the stallion is going East shortly, Baker and Rose, Main
Street, Santa Rosa, are having a large oil painting of the
horse made from Mr. Sanborn's crayon.

Theodore "Winters ia busily engaged preparing his horses
for a hard season's campaign. I have heard that in addition
to Carillo, he has also engaged the services of Casey Winchell,
at least this clever light weight jockey is at present in the
Washoe Country looking after some of Mr. Winters' stock.
The stable is beiDg trained under the supervision of William
McCormick.

Jim Brown, formerly of the Haggin stable, has been en-
gaged by Mr. C. V. Tupperof Santa RoBa to train his horses.
In addition to Al Farrow, Mr. Tupper has a fine-appearing
colt called High Jack, by Three Cheers, and another very
promising one by Double Cross, who has bean named
Guido. At the same track, Enoch Yates has two good ones
in Oscar Wilde and Ito.

The proposition of George Rye to Sam Bryant to bet
$1,000, play or pay, that Long Dance will beat Proctor Knott
in tbe Kentucky Derby, is not seriously considered by the
turfmen, sayB the St. Louis Republic. The majority of
them says that Rye Bimply wants to bet that Proctor Knott
will not start, since no one thinks Long Dance is anything as
good as Bryant's colt.

I once heard a man order a lemonade, and he Baid, "I will
take a faint suspicion in it." Judging from the writings of
Eastern turf journalists, I think it possible to detect a "faint
suspioion" of doubt as to the three-year-old form of Proctor
Knott. Two months ago he seemed to have a mortgage on
all the stake events, but now other favorites are being pushed
forward, the Californian nominations beinggnioBt prominent.

The Interior Journal of Stanford, Ky., gave tips on races
last year, receiving its information from the well-known turl
correspondent, L. M. Lasley, who has sent Kentucky letters
to the Breeder and Sportsman for some time. The Journal
enthusiastically says that Mr. Lasley was more accurate than
any tipster in the whole union. As he has just started a
stable of his owd, the B. and S. sincerely hopes he may train
many a winner.

Mr. Whitney, of Petaluma, informs me that he will not
have Dawn in stallion service this season, either public or
private. This well known son of Nutwood injured himself
slightly last season while in the stud, aud his owner has de-
termined to reserve him for trotting purposes exclusively
this year. A well known horseman in the Eastern States
has tried to buy Dawn, but Mr. Whitney will keep him until
he is satisfied how fast he really is.

While on a visit to San Francisco lately, Mr. LioscDtt, the
owner of Jim L , met Mr. Gonzales, who owns Jnnio. and
naturally the question of who had the best horse came up
again, and Mr. Linscott wanted to make a match then and
there, to be trotted over the SaliDas track, but Gonzales
would not give way to that proposition, and insisted on tbe
race taking place on the Bay District course. As they parted
Linscott said: "Well, I will meet you on the circuit." "That
is where I want to meet you," waB the reply.

Now that the full list of entries have arrived for the Great
American stake, to be run at the spring meeting of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club, I fancy that the first money will go to
either the Dwyer stable or to that of Senator Hearst. While
I have a certain amount of faith in the King Ban colt, still it
seems to me that Tournament, by Sir Modred — Plaything
Bhould be unbeatable. The Dwyers have several good ones,
a full brother to Kingston being noticeable, well backed up
by Sir John and Last King.

Many Eastern turfmen are disappointed at the small num-
ber of entries made by Mr. Haggin this year, but when it is
taken into consideration that he paid over $50,000 last year
iu forfeits at Monmouth and Sheepshead alone, without
speaking of the other meetings, it is hardly to be wondered
at that he should proceed with more caution than formerly.
This course of procedure will enable the Rancho del Paso
stable to show a profit this year, instead of a large Iosb, and
plenty of glory, as in 1888.

Many explanations are offered why the youngsters on the
Pacific slope make such fix ra fast time compared with Eastern
bred horses of the same age, says Reins and Whip. The
climate undoubtedly has its effect, but the main cause, we
think, is tbe systematic manner in which the California
horses, especially those at tbe Palo Alto Ranch, are bandied.
Here, in the East, a trotter, to be warmed up to his work, is
jogged mile after mile, while there they simply give him a
fast half before starting.

The Rev. J. C. Smith of Otis, a small town in Berkshire

County, Mass., has brought birnself into considerable promi-
nence by addressing an agricultural meeting at Pittsfield in
favor of horse trotting. Mr. Smith is a Congregational
clergyman who has preached in Otis for several years. He
owns a good farm and keeps several fast horses, which he
drives on the track in horse races. He has driven in races
at Pittsfield, North Adams, Westfield, Great Barrington and
other towns, and he always tries to win.

While in Solano County last week, Mr. J. M. Bassford
showed me a sorrel horse which, when he was purchased,
was called Gen. Knox. The horse was brought to this State
some years ago, and was reported to haye a record made in
the EaBt. If any reader shoald know aught of this horse it
will be taken as a favor if the information be sent to me.
Sam Bones of Alameda is Baid to have owned him once.

Racing at Portland, Or., is at a rather low ebb if all rumoiB
heard are to be believed. The last number of the "Rural
Spirit" goes after the stable thieves in the following fashion;
"If Billy Ayera of this city, a turfman in whom the public
has the most implicit confidence, would lease City View
Park, the cry of jobs would Boon be a thing of the past. It
would not take Mr. Ayers thirty days to regain the confi-
dence of the public." It is a pity that we have not a great
many more men of the Billy Ayers stamp on the Pacific
Slope, for if we had, "rotten raoes" would soon be heard of
no more.

Taking into account the advance in the scale of weights
says Black and Blue, "it would not be out of place to make
the top weight in the Suburban 133 or 135, and in tho
Brooklyn Jockey Club Handicap 120 or 130. This would
give the handicappers a little more room for discretion in
assigning the weights to the top and middle divisions. There
does not seem to be any chance for the light weights in the
coming handicap. The other company is too good for them."
I am inclined to believe that if the above suggestions ia car-
ried out, the race had better be made Welter weights and
done with it. At tbe weights given above no first class
horse would start for this now classic event.

It seems from present indications that a small spring cir-
cuit will be built up, with the Blood Horse Meeting as a
nucleus. The San Jose Jockey Club will give a week'B
racing, commencing probably on April 8th. The B. H.
Association will begin their season about April 20th, lasting
nine or ten days. They will be followed by the Capital
Turf Club of Sacramento, who will give a week of tbe royal
sport, in which maDy of the horses from San Francisco will
take part. Mr. Sanborn, the new lesBee of the Agricultural
Park, Santa Rosa, will shortly announce a meeting to follow
the Sacramento spring races.

The English Racing Calender for 1838 shows that 2,123
horses contended in the 1,589 races run in England during
the year. This ia an increase of forty races over the year
1887, and with the exception 1871, when 2.483 horBes per-
formed, the largest number recorded in the English calendar
of any year. Ab in this country the majority of the races
run were at short distances. There were 759 scrambles of
five furlongs and nnder six fuilongs, 262 races at three-quar-
ters of a mile and under one mile, 333 at one mile, 184 over
one mile and under two, 50 at two miles and under three, 7
at three miles and under four, and 4 at four miles.

The Cleveland "Plaindealer" has the following good wordB
to say about Mr. Valensin's horse: Sidney, by Santa Claus
2:17$, dam Sweetness 2:21 J, by Volunteer, must be acknowl-
edged one of the most remarkable stallions liviDg. After a
season of Beventy patrons last year, he was given a pacing
record of 2:19$. His yearling daughter Fleet took a trottiDg
record of 2:36. His three-year-old non Memo trotted in
2:20J. A three-year old daughter got a pacing record of
2:14. Mr. J. J. Crawford, proprietor of Ashland Stock
Farm, Belmont, is the owner of the two-year-old stallion
GeoTge N., full brother to Memo.

The feats of our modern plungers are occasionally worthy
of chronicling as examples of daring speculation. The
French plunger, M. Brazier, laid £6,600 to £200 on Seabreeze
for the Newmarket Oaks, the taker who accommodated him
being Mr. R. Fry. Tbe English profebsional's feeliDgs must
have been in remarkable contrast to those of the Continental
visitor on seeing the desperate struggle that ensued in the
finish of that race. For the laat half mile Robinson bad to
use every ounce on the St. Ledger winner to keop the Blight
lead he had acquired, and it was only after a terrific and
well-sustained effort tbat the head verdict was secured. So
olose and exciting was the finish that the rider of Seabreeze
did not know after passing the judicial btx whether he had
won or lost.

Billet, who died in Kentucky last Friday, Bays the N. Y.
Times, probably had his death hastened, certainly might have
lived a few years longer, but for the fact that a dentist got at
him. A pretty sure sign of dissolution in a horse of his age is
the rapid decay of the teeth, which get so bad that the animal
has difficulty in masticating his food. Billet's teeth became
troublesome and a couple of verterinary dentists undertook to
correct the trouble. The old horse didn't like the dentists.
He fought them, aud ropes and pulleys had to be rigged so
that he oould be slung and operated upon. Billet continued
to fight against the men of forceps and files, and is supposed
to have seriously injured himself in his struggles someway
that resulted in his death.

The pick of the horses at Monmonth will, of course, be
found in the Haggin Stable, says "Black aud Blue" in the
Mail and Express. Matt Byrnes has them in charge.
Many persons call on him for permission to see Firenzi and
Salvator, which are by all odds the cracks of the stable.
Byrnes, acting under orders from Mr. Haggio, will not hurry
his horseB, no matter how fine the weather may be, and for
this reason they are not likely to participate in any of the
spring race meetings until the Jerome Park gates are open.
Firenzi will have a try at one of the handicaps there, and
Fresno will be got ready for the Withers Stakes, which
Byrnes thinks he will win. If nothing happens to Firenzi,
she will be a starter in the Suburban if she is not unjustly
treated in the matter of weight.

The b c Fagato, now Bve years old, and a son of Glenelg
and Felicia, is to be added to the list of nominations to the
Suburban, says the "N. Y. Times." He was not announced
in the original list because the Coney Island Jockey Clnh
people did not know exactly v hat Nick Finzer, who owns
the colt, meant by his letter entering Fngato for tbe "To-
boggan Stake." A letter sent 10 Louisville brought out this
explanation of the queer entry for the Toboggan Stakes.
Mr. Finzer lives just outside Louisville, and on the afternoon
of December 31st. telephoned in to his clerk to have Fugato
entered for the Saburbao. The clerk was not one who whs
up in racing lore, and so it came about tbat thp
entered for tbe Toboggan instead of the Snburl
The clerical error having been made evident. F
has been accepted. But it is probable he wov,
prominent in a Toboggan Stake than he wil
Suburban.

Profits of Breeding.

Senator Slnckbridge. of Michigan, in a recent interview
"Uth a New York Tribune reporter, gives the following in-
formation, which demonstrates that the raising of trotters is
not unprofitable: "Baising trotting and running horses is
not a very unprofitable business." said Senator Stockbridge a
few days ago. l'he Senator had just returned from Michigan,
where he has a stock farm afew miles from Kalamazoo. "One
fine day I arranged with my partner, Mr. Browne, to go ont
and look over the stock. We started about nine o'clock in
' the morning, and when we arrived at the farm the horses
had all been fed and groomed. We got out the pedigree
book, aud then carefully examined every young animal on
the place. Mr. Browne would tell me the name of a colt,
and after we had gone over his good points I would put his
value down on my inventory book, and then let him run
off into the field. Well, atier I had entered all the horses,
and set a moderate value upon them, in no case exceeding
the price which they would bring in any open market, I
found we bad just $103,600 worth of horseflesh. Now see
what a nice profit that represents. We bought the farm three
years ago, and organized a stock company with a capital of
$75,000. We owe a few thousand dollars for running ex-
penses and things of that kind, but this iB more than offset
by the value of the farm. So that, deducting the amount of
capital we put in, the profits in three years, without any par-
ticular effort to run the farm as a money-making concern,
were more than $100,000, which, you see, is more than a
Senator's salary. Some horses raised on the Kalamazoo
Stock Farm have turned out to be very valuable and very
fast. Bell Boy, which was purchased of Senator Stanford
for $5,000. and sold as a two-vear-old for $35,000, has just
lowered his record so that he is now in the 2:20 claes, and he
is only four years old."

Prices Paid For Yearlings.

The average price paid for yearlings at the various sales
last year, are given in a concise and easily understood man-
ner, in the current number of the New York Spirit which we
copy below. It will be Been that Mr. Haggin's lot brought a
muoh larger average than any of the rest, as much probably
from the first class breeding of the youngsters, as from the
fact that he did not wait to have customers come to him, but
sent them where purchasers were plenty, money easy and
first class horses appreciated. It would not surprise us if
the average paid for horses at the coming spring saleB should
be even much larger than that paid last 5ear.

CATTLE.

Mr. S. N. Straube, owner of the Poplar Grove Breeding
Farm, near Fresno, as a result of years of raising the Polled
Angus and Short Horn cattle, finds them both well adapted
to the conditions of climate, soil and feed characteristic of
the great central valleys of California. They are hardy,
grow rapidly, make very salable beef, and fine milkers.

The great sale of Bhorthorn cattle, offered by Messrs. Pre-
witt & Goff on Tuesday last, at the Bay District Tract, did
not meet the expectations of the owners. Buyers wers few,
and such as were present did not offer anything like adequate
prices. Gentle Annie, 29th, in calf to 7th Duke of Crethmere,
65,744, was sold to Mr. Martin for $90. The rest of the
oattle were withdrawn, and were sent to Sacramento on Fri-
day, where they will remain in charge of Edwin F. Smith,
for private sale. No better opportunity has been offered to
Becure good stock of the breed, and Mr. Smith will gladly
extend all facilities to interested persons.

Mr. C. W. Sturtevant of the Spanish-American Mercantile
Agency, of this city, informs us that there is a marked move-
ment in the way of fine stock to Mexico. A shipment, includ-
ing two Durham bulls, three pens of Berksbires, and two of
Poland-China's went to Guatemala via the S. S. Grenada two
weeks since. One of the Berksbires whs a son of Redwood
Duke, No. 13368. The government of Guatemala has offered
a premium to importers of fine cattle in the shape of a reduc-
tion of taxeB on their stock for the term of five years. Stock,
except geldings, steers or barrows, may be imported free of
duty, and it is expected that San Salvador and Costa Rica
will soon adopt similar laws.

The Cattle Industry of New Mexico.

To one of the great interests of the territory, the stock in-
dustry, has come some measure of disaster that has been
common to that industry in all the Western states and terri-
tories, though far lighter here than elsewhere — while our
mining and agricultural industries have taken on a condition
of development that has far more than compensated the ap-
parent and temporary declension of the Btock industry.

The rigid enforcement of the quarantine law of the last
session «f the legislative assembly, while its operation has
been an apparent hardship in some respects, has effectually
protected the live stock from disease, and the equable cli-
mate of New Mexico has prevented the serious losses from
til.e rigidclimaticconditionst.bat have occurred elsewhere.
At the sane time the enterprise and intelligent foresight of
Mew Mexico stockmen is revolutionizing and localizing that
ndustry and bringing it into harmony with the interests of
settlement and development of the unoccupied lands of the
erj-itory. Forage grasses are being more generally cultiv-
ated, to the manifest improvement of the quality of beef,
Mid the efforts of stockmen have been directed to the attain-
ment of a high standard of excellence, till they have pro-
duced a grade of Btock that ranks among the highest in the
West.-— .AVom Governor Moss's JlfesBage.

How to Kill Beeves.

An animal is best killed with a rifle ball, shot midway of a
line drawn from one eye to the opposite horn; but it may be
killed by a blow on the same spot with a sledge hammer or
the head of an ax, first blindfolding the animal. As Boon as
it falls, out a gash square across the throat back of the jaws,
deep enough to reach the spinal column. The animal may
be run at once, or not until skinned, or it may lie until the
entrails are removed, as may be preferred. Cut the hide
from the throat along the brisket and central line of tne
belly, between the thighs to the tail; and from this cut along
the inside of the legs at the knee joints and the hind ones
three inches below the hook joints. If the animal is on the
gronnd, remove the hide from the upper side of the carcass
to the backbone; then turn the animal over and skin the
other side. If the animal is hung up begin above and work
down. Be careful not to cut any gashes in the hide. Use
the thumbs wherever it is practicable to do so. To remove
the entrails is not difficult. Open along the middle of the
belly and brisket, cutting from in outward, running the
fingers along ahead of the knife through the belly. The
animal should have had nothing to eat for twelve hours be-
fore it is killed. Its entrails will not then be distended, and
the carcass will cool better. As soon as the entrails are out,
wash the inside thoroughly with cold water, using a cloth where
necessary to take off blood. Stretch the slit in the belly
open by setting in short sticks to keep the carcass open and
facilitate cooling. Ae soon as the carcass has cooled, divide
it in halves by splitting the backbone, working from the in-
side. First cut through the flesh and then saw through the
bone. Do not cut bones — saw them.

Improved Blood on the Native-

A Short-horn calf may be white, roan or red, for theHe
colors have been obtained as far back as the breed has been
known, but no amount of explanation could satisfy an expert
than a black or brindle, or a line-backed wa6 a full blooded
Short-horn; that a spotted animal was a Devon, a red-and-
white was a Polled-Angus, or that anything less than a white
face was a Hereford. Certain characteristics always go with
the full blood of any kind, and the continued breeding
together of animals of the same blood and the same charac-
teristics give them the potency or power to transmit that
makes the full-blood desirable tor crossing on stook not hav-
ing equally destiable qualities; for this reason among stock-
men the bull is considered one-half the herd. The foolish
practice prevalent among farmers of using bulls of miscel-
laneous breeding can not be too warmly deprecated. So
many farmers persist in the notion that they want a good-
looking animal and care hut lit'le about its blood.

A cross-bred animal is often in itself better than the parent
on either side; for instance, the progeny from the pure-bred
Short-horn bull and the native cow may, and should, get
shape and quality from its Bire, while the vitality and in-
stinct of the dam may give it activity, hardihood and power
of assimilation, so as to render it more profitable than either
ancestor for other than breeding purposes, while it would be
but little better than a scrub for breeding purposes, the ten-
dencies in nature being to go backwards rather than forward,
unless there be a continued infusion of the good blood.
This breeding back shows the importance of pedigree, it be-
ing apparent that the animal should not only be good in it-
self, but all its ancestors for many generations back. Every
part and quality can be improved by judicious breeding and
handling; so, on the contrary, by bad handling and bad
breeding they will gradually be bred out, bo that the breeds
are only maintained by selecting the best, and the breeder
who makes the most judicious selections for this purpose is
the safer and better man to buy from.

Judge Jones, of Delaware, Ohio, in discussing ^th6 good
points of the Shorthorn, says:

A third point we have insisted upon, especially in the sires
used in the herd, has been — that the distinctive Shorthorn
character is essential to the reproduction of the highest
point of excellency in the progeny.

A good level carcass on short legs with even distribution
and depth of flesh may be obtained without character, which
the intelligent breeder also looks upon as indicating descent
from ancestry of high ranking blood. Indeed, all the above
mentioned points of profitable excellence are often found in
grades or non-pedigreed Shorthorns; but the presence of these
desirable points, will not assure uniformity of excellence in
the progeny; without the approved blood, the character and
the "quality" which we always desire to B6e in connection
with this high breeding.

Dutch Belted Cattle-

A curious illustration of the freaks in color which may be
perpetuated and finally erected into a breed characteristic, is
shown in the Dutch Belted Cattle, described in the "Amer_
ican Agriculturist."

The cattle are black, except for a band of white extending
completely around the body, and in breadth including the
whole sides. The Dutch Belted Cattle were first brought to
this country fifty years ago, yet it is only within the present
decade that any organized effort has been made to obtain for
them the recognition to which their merits entitle them.
These cattle doubtless sprung origiually from the same stock
as the black and white cattle known in this country as
HolBtein-Freisian ; but they now form a distinct breed, with
the type so firmly fixed by centuries of careful breeding that
their grades of even one-eighth blood retain the peculiar and
conspicuous white belt which is the distinguishing char-
acteristic of the breed. They are known to have been bred
in Holland in the sixteenth century, and have always been
regarded there as a rather fancy breed, mostly owned by the
country gentlemen, who have always been reluctant to sell
them. The belted cattle are remarkably uniform in shape
and markings. In general they resemble the HolBtein-
Friesians, but are not as large. The heads, however, are of
similar form, rather long, with fine muzzle and somewhat
dahhing face. The horns are fine and waxy, the necks mod-
erately thin, the bodies wedge-shaped, with ribs well sprung
and deep che&tB, udders very large, milk veins large and tor-
tuous, legs clean, short aud tine. Iu color they are blaok,
with a white sheet or belt entirely around the middle, em-
bracing one-third or more of the body. A comparison be-
tween the Belted and the Holstein-Friesian cattle is by no
means dispaiaging to either breed. The latter have for cen-
turies been kept on rich food and carefully bred, with a sole

view to developing milk or beef qualities, without regard to
color marks. The former have been bred with equal care,
mainly to preserve their peculiar mark.ngs, and nt the Bame
time make a general purpose and family cow. While they
have no such phenomenal milk records as the Holstein-
FrieBians, they are deep milkers, docile and kind in disposi-
tion, hardy and easily kept. When dry they fatten easily,
and their beef is of fine quality. These cattle were brought
from Holland to Orange Co., N. Y., in 1838. Subsequent
importations have been made until they and their gradeB are
the prevalent style of cattle in that famed dairy region.
They are also found in Montgomery County, in various parts
of New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania and Illinois. An asso-
ciation of Dutch Belted Cattle breeders has been organized,
of which H. B. Richards, of EaBton, Pa., is Secretary. The
first volume of the beid-book was published in 1886. It
contains the records of forty-six bulls and one hundred and
seventy-seven cows and heifers. The association is made up
of enterprising aud intelligent men, in whose bands this
choice and unique breed will be kept up to the full standard
of excellence.

Is Bovine Tuberculosis Communicable to Man

From the nature of the case, we cannot expect direct exper-
iments to be made on man with tuberculous matter from
other animals, but so many cases are on record whioh seem
to prove that human being are frequently with infected tub-
erculosis, through the milk or flesh of cows, that it seems like
madness to disregard them, says a Bulletin of the Mass-
achusetts Argicultural College. It is more than probable
that when children are fed with milk from tuberculous cows,
serious intestinal disturbances, or even tubercular meningi-
tis, may occur.

Dr. Anderson of Seeland reported a case of a calf, which
received tuberculosis from the milk of a cow with the dis-
ease in the udder. The wife of the owner, wbo had pre-
viously been considered healthy, soon developed a cough,
with other symptoms of the disease, Her child, born before
the appearance of the disease, was fed with milk from a tub-
erculous cow, and died with the disease within six months.
Dr. Anderson believed that both the mother and child con-
tracted the disease from the cow's milk.

Dr. Bang, in a paper before the Medical Congress at Cop-
enhagen, in 1884, said that the danger of transmission of
tuberculosis from the lower animals to man lies chiefly in
the use of milk from diseased cows, because it is largely used
in an uncooked condition. In one case which he examined,
he estimated that the bacilli of tuberculosis were bo abundant,
that in drinking a glass of such milk a person would intro-
duce into his system millions of these disease-producing
germs.

Dr. Nooard read a paper on the "Danger of Tuberculous
Meat and Milk" before the Medical Congress held in Paris in
July, 1888, in which he said that "so far as milk is con-
cerned, everybody agrees. The milk is not virulent except
when the mammary gland is tuberculous, but the diagnosis
of this localization is difficult, and often impossible, and one
must treat all tuberculous cows as if the gland was always
invaded."

Prof. Walleystated, at arecentmeetingoftbeBritishMedical
Association, that if there was no direct evidence of the trans-
mission of tuberculosis from animals to man, there was a
vast amount of indirect evidence. He said he had not the
slightest hesitation in saying that it was communicable from
animals to man, and -back again from man to animals, in
every possible shape and form. He also expressed the
opinion that it might be transmitted from tuberculous hens
through their eggs.

The numerous experiments which have been performed
thus far prove that when lower animals are inoculated with
the tuberculous products of man, the results are precisely
the same as when the products of other animals are used, and
strained sections of the diseased parts exhibit the same
bacilli in each case.

Dr. Blozozzera read a paper before the International Con-
gress held in Turin, in which he Rave it as his opinion that
human and bovine tuberculosis are identical, because they
have the closest anatomical affinity; and Dr. Johne states
that nearly all the authorities admit the identity in construc-
tion of the tubercles in man and the lower animals.

The Tenderfoot Cowboy.

If there is anyone man in the world who knows loss about
more things than Mr. Bill Nye, hia name has not been made
public. He recently gave vent to long nurtured malice in
this fashion:

Cowboys are born, not made. Some men are born cow-
boys, ana others have cowboys thrust uoon them; but the
genuine genius is born to bestride the barbarous 'pinto in
pursuit of the fleet-footed maverick. History is replete with
instances where men from other walks of life have sought to
become cowboys and failed. The shores of time are white
with their bleaching clavicles. They did not have the afflatus.
They were not en rapport with the Texas steer. They thought
that to be a cowboy they only needed to let their hair grow
long and tie it with a blue ribbon at the back.

The gentle reader may not believe it, but I saw an amateur
•owboy land in the far west whose long and waving hair was
tied with a knot of pale blue ribbon, and who wore a new
suit of buckskin that had never been wet.

A meeting of "Kavveyard No. 2" was at once called to take
action in the matter of entertaining the new and beautifully
picturesque terror. In calling the meeting to order, the moBt
exemplary Bedouin of the lariat stated that there was an
apprentice at the outer gate of the corral who desired to
become a free working knight of the quirt.

A programme was then arranged by which the young man
was to be entertained and fully instructed in the signs of dis-
tress, grand hailing signs, grips, pass-words, explanations
and signals of the order.

The name of the apprentice was Claude. Anybody would
almost know that to look at him. He wanted the pure air of
the plains to fan his brow, he said, and fill him with vigor.
He wanted to learn how to rope a steer and conquer him and
make him subservient. The i entlemen of the "kavveyard"
said that his morbid curiosity Bbould be gratified.

First, however, he must wet the new buckskin clothes.
They went into a gilded hell and drank a great deal of com-
mon cooking whiskey at Claude's expense. Then they took
him to an irrigation ditch and saturated him with moisture
After that, under the auspices of "Kavveyard No. 2," he was
kept out in the hot sun till his buckskin clothes began to dry
and shrink.

Slowly as the sun rose higberClaud'spautaloc-Ds proceeded
to ditto. He began to attract attention. With his hair
looped baok and festooned with a pale-blue ribbon with grease
on it, and a suit of buckskin that was getting so tight that it

might crack down the back at any moment, people began to
gather round : him and express an interest in him. Boys
Btopped in crowds to ask where it came from, and business
men halted and said it was queer what funny things we could
run across when we didn't have a gun.

Finally they took Claude out to the stock yards to "rope a
steer." They didn't dare to tarn him in with a real Bure
enough wild steer, but borrowed one off a man who kept wild
steers to let on such occasions.

Claude chased the ferocious beast around tho yard nearly
all day before he threw his lariat so as to catch on. The
loop went over the steer's neck, but unfortunately the fierce
young solitary horseman got his own neck tangled up in the
other end of the string. Those who know the habits of the
Bteer, even when domesticated, will remember that it takes a
man with a very muscular neck to outjerk him when he is in
good spirits.

This steer jerked Claude head first across the arena, the
ambling steer bringing up the rear. It was an exciting
scene. The steer had one end of the lariat, the horse the
other, and Claude was suspanded batween them in the hands
of his friends.

Sometimes the staer would jerk, and then the horse would
retaliate. Then they would allow Claude to get his breath,
and the exercises would be renewed.. Finally the secretary
of the society for the prevention of cruelty to Texas steers
came in and cut the lariat.

Claude went home in a few days after this episode wearing
a 1 >ok of chastened disappointment and human clothes.

At the Academy of Design at Cheyenne there may be seen
a shrunken and emaciated suit of buckskin clothes, with
short sleeves and knickerbocker pantaloons; also a soiled
knot of blue ribbon. They are mementoes of Claude.

ROD.

The salmon season has opened with but ordinary prospects.
An average of ten to the boat per drift is thought very good.

A large shipment of white fish eggs has been made to
Oregon, 5,000,000 having been sent. They will be placed
in Coeur D'Alene, Pen D'Oreille and other lakes.

A splendid showing of salmon taken with rod and line was
that made by J. Lemmer andC. Green at J. Bergez, 332 Pine
Street, on Moaday last. Twelve clean run fish from seven
to nineteen pounds in weight were laid out to tantalize the
unfortunates who cannot get away to the creeks. The fish
were taken on salmon roe and shrimps, from Salmon Creek,
and afforded the rarest of sport to the fishermen. One of
them, turned over to a man we wot of, was as fine c piece of
meat, stuffed and baked, as any Waltonion need invite a
friend to share. Slightly pink, fat and hard, the fish was
all that a game fish should be.

Amoner the Redwoods.

CHAPTER XII.

ENTER RACHEL AND THE BROWNIE.

Miss Rachel Wells, fourth daughter of Hon. David Wells,
successful hanker, eminent legislator, and so forth, was rec-
ognized in the select and cultured circle where she moved as
.a brilliant free lance whom it was good to call friend, and
-evil to name enemy. Her wit had energy enough to get it-
self remembered in every quarter where the route of fash-
ionable travel made existence necessary, and even in some
remote corners where circumstances had compelled her to
take refuge. And a free, impulsive, good-hearted nature
made her a favorite even with those who looked askance on
some of her undertakings.

In person she was of medium height, round and well pro-
portioned, and carried herself with an unstudied erectness
which always added a distinguishing quality. As to whether
she was beautiful or not there existed two opinions. One
side (composed chiefly of members of her own sex) contend-
ing that her month was too large, her nose too long, and her
complexion too pale for such distinction; the other claiming
on indefinite groonds such as expression and mobility no
praise could be excessive. From both these categories, per-
haps by accident, her chief beautieB were eliminated. For it
was only in relief against her heavy aubarn hair that her
•complexion reached its perfection of tint, aB if nature had
intended the clearly perceptible tracery of blue veins for con-
trast with the ruddy bronze frame. And the condemned
length of nose Buited well a pair of large brown eyes. Not
eyes of the soft beseeching kind, but full of alertness and
daring, and gifted with wonderful capabilities of expression.

There was a quizzioal laugh in their depths as Philip and
his fish basket approached the verandah, although her lips
remained quiet. This was a pity, since the strong white
teeth added materially to the beauty of the mouth, which
truth obliges me to confess was formed after a model given
by Venus rather than Minerva, although the upper lip bore
also Borne trace of Cupid's handiwork.

"Welcome, Prince Idle," she said, when her brother had
dismounted, holding out both hands and putting up her lips
to be kissed. "Welcome. Shall I scold you for not having
been to Bee us before?"

- Philip kissed her, gave his horse in care to Jack, who was
always ready to perform such services when the greater at-
traction of fishing did not lure him away, and asked Raohel
what she meant.

"Just what I say," she answered, "we have been here
■since yesterday."

Philip sat down on a chair with the back in front of him,
and Btared at her, finally getting enough of his wits back to
inquire how he could have been expected tu know they were
there.

Rachel looked vexed for an instant and then laughed.

"I see plainly that like the Landgravine in the German
tale 1 shall have to protect somebody with my mantle," she
said. Did not Mr. Foots say anything to you about having
seen ub?"

"Dick? no. He acted like a riddle this morning, and went
off by himself."

Philip was beginning to gness at the cause, and to exoner-
ate Dick, bis loyalty being only too glad to find such an op-
portunity.

"Perhaps I may be able to explain why,*' Rachel said.
"Last evening about six o'clock Mr. Cummings and I went
down by the bridge to get a glimpse of the stream, and had
almost determined to walk up to Mr. Selden's house and
apprize you of our arrival when we saw Mr. Foote coming
along. Immediately after the greetings Mr. Cummings and
he began to ttdk fishing, and the first tbing I knew our
clumsy little Brownie had invited himself to go out the n«xt
day with Mr. Fonte. If he had been anything but utterly
obtuse he would have detected how unpleasant the arrange-
ment was to yonr friend, although as you know perfectly Mr.
Foote is not always careful to say just what he means. That

is, he has a habit of crediting every one with large and deli-
cate perception. So far as we were concerned he thought a
day would not matter, and that my meBBage would be as ac-
ceptable to-night as twenty-foar hours earlier."

Raehael tried to look careless and indifferent, but her eyes
revealed deeper feeling.

"Oh Frogs of Styx!" exclaimed Phillip, probably moved by
indiatinct recollections of AriBtophanes, "what a small mat-
ter to roll up into a tragedy. I can't understand it now He
kept talking the whole time about when the Brownie would
be here,"

"From that,I Bhould have inferred at once that the Brownie
was already here. Mr. Foote, Phil, is very sensitive to ridi-
cule, which may account for his diplomacy in this case. There
is no harm done, anyway. Mamma cried last night as usual,
and Natalie thoughtfully trotted out all her dear little nnxims,
and I cruelly absconded, retired and went to bed. Phil, is
that Miss Selden over there alone?"

Something about this conference annoyed Rachel, and she
chose the first way out of it.

"Yes, Ray, I wish yon would go over and talk with her
while I am convincing mother that I am still in the land of
the living.1'

Since the time he excelled in childish mischief Philip had
depended on this particular sister to help him out of diffi-
culty, principally because she never undertook anything
except with the idea of accomplishing it, and always forgot a
service immediately after it was rendered.

She did not hesitate now, any more than when she was
younger, but said if he would introduce her she would do
her best.

"From here the girl looks quite like a picture. Seeing her
pure face reminds one of Spenser's fancies." Raehael
sighed, noting the rapt look in her brother's face while she
was speaking.

"You think bo too, Phil, do you not?" she asked.
"I think only one thing jubt now," he answered, reaching
out his hand to help her down the steps, "that you are the
best sister a graceless chap like me ever had.'*

In truth, he did not know half how good she was. De-
spite her merry note— written to be read and approved by
their mother — she would rather have started on a pilgrimage
to China or Japan than to have come down here. Not be*
cause it was quiet, or lonely, or rough, for she was scarcely
of the kind susceptible to such things, but b cause her
coming might be misunderstood or misconstrued by her
brother's friend, Mr. Foote. Two years before, when spend-
ing a summer on what was now Philip's farm, in the Santa
Clara Valley, she had met him for the Drst time. It peemed
only right that they Bhould be good friends, if the rule of
opposites guides, or even more than friends, if his frequent
visits and open expressions of regard could be counted.
But the season wore away, and she went back to her home
no wiser respecting his feeling than a few suotle intimations
might make her. And such intimations were, to a woman of
her character, nothing to be counted or remembered. Three
extremely short and formal callB were all she kne;v of him
after, except as Philip raved of his ability and good fellow-
ship, when she usually had strength of mind enough to
maintain a discreet silence. It was commonly remarked
among her friends that Raehael had never appeared quite
the same since that summer on the farm, and Mrs. Wells, in
consequence, was thoroughly given over to the idea that
Cherry Wold reeked with malaria. Rachel took no trouble
to disturb this belief; she was too happy that anything inter-
fered with frequent visits and long sojourns where memory
seemed to do her so much wrong.

I do not know why, but all of this appeared to her as Bhe
walked by Philip's side across the read, and down a short
way to a shady spot, where Erl had dismounted and Btood
awaiting them.

"My sister, Miss "Wells, Miss Selden," said Philip, without
any preliminaries.

Rachel held out her hand and watched the warm, beautiful
color steal swiftly to Erl's cheeks, and firmly detaining the
one placed in hers, she turned to her brother and said:

"Go rack and see mamma now, Phil. We shall get on
better without you."

Philip hastened away, not at all sorry that he was accorded
the privilege of conferring with his mother alone, for
Rachel, though an excellent ally, was also a noted tease.

"Perhaps you would like to sit down," Baid Erl in a low
voice, and with the slight touch of self-consciousness in her
manner that an isolated life had bred.

"I must pat your horse first. "What a charming little
fellow he is not to cut up at sight of me. But dare you trust
him so ulone?"
Rachel laid her hand on Wolfgang's glossy black neck.
"Such a tiny, beautiful hand," thought Erl, observing its
dimpled whiteness, unbroken by a single ring, before she
answered.

"Oh, yes! Nestor and he would wait together wherever I
left them."

"And this is Nestor. Come here, you historical humbug!
No! do not blink at me and stretch out your head, but come
right here."

To Erl's surprise Nestor obeyed the imperious summons,
although doing so with some misgivings, and, after what he
considered the proper amount of petting, finding bis way to
her side.

"They both like yon, I see; and together you seem quite a
part of the forest. Was this hillock the one jou had chosen
for our seat?"

Erl replied in the affirmative, looking apprehensively at
Rachel's white gown.

"Ridiculous, is it not?" she said, with a quickness born of
training. "But theu I am altogether a ridiculous person.
Did you tell me your horse's name?"

"Wolfgang," said Erl, feeling the attraction of Rachel's
person and manner more and more.

"I might have known you would have named him for a
poot. I wonder if the shade of Goethe watches over you
both?"

"That would surely be a hard penance for the soul of a
poet, and papa is always Bcolding me beoause I cannot like
Faust. Not really scoldiDg, but — "

"Reminding you that the artistic is'not enough developed
in your — what shall I say V— composition?" Rachel laagbed
lightly, and picking up Erl's long hand went on. "For some
natures it is necessary to live before comprehending; to
others understanding seems born of an intuitive sympathy.
Why can yon not like Faust?"
Erl hesitated.

"I scarcely know," she said, as if finding reasons were an
unpleasant task. "It is alwayB difficult for me to analyze
anything. Something in me seems to say when good is so
easy, evil should not be chosen."

There was nothing Pharisaic in this answer: it came as
Bimply as water gushes from a mountain source. Rachel
felt its largeness and sat a moment silent, feeling as she often
did at Easter tide, listening to the "Gloria" and looking on

a chancel tilled with lillies. Then she wondered if a nature
ignorant of temptation could guage the force of evil, and
asked:

"Dare we call an inward hunger, choice? If a man's body
were starving, would it be choice only that bade him take
bread? And might he not even take bad if the good were
exhausted?"

"Again I do not know. I think it would be better to wait
in the hope that good might come."

"But if patience had been denied you?" Rachel was
annoyed at herself instantly this question left her lips, and
doublyannoyed when she saw the perplexed, terrified expres-
sion that appealed to her from Erl's clear eyes.

"Absurdity of absurdities!" she exclaimed laughing and
turning aside. "Do not mind me at all. How fortunate
that my brother is coming! And whom has he with him,
your father?"

"Yes," said Erl. She was her own non-contemplative self
again, now that there seemed no immediate necessitv of
answering the question concerning patience, about which
there was great doubt in her mind.

Mr. Selden and Philip walked slowly, leading their horses
and discussing the cultivation of cherries with an earnest-
ness of manner seemingly out of all proportion to the matter
under discussion. From long indulgence, man has ceased
to appreciate the value of having a wide range of subjects con-
stantly open to his intellect, or to understand the great
amount of nervous force stored up and preserved by it.
Distance shortens, disease loses its aggravating qualities, and
even love, that great disturber of rationalism, assumes a sub-
servient aspect when confronted with this diversity. And
although neither of the two men crossing the road so leisurely
were burdened with anything unuBnal, one at least waB eaBier
that he could state how much water to allow for proper
irrigation of a half-grown cherry tree.

It was not possible for Philip to outline half his ideas on
ditching and ploughing before he was obliged to stop and
present Rachel whom Mr. Selden liked at once, and welcomed
in his quietly sincere manner, saying he hoped she would
find her stay enjoyable.

"I shall rely on you and your daughter to briDg back all
my belief in the simple and the true, for I strongly suspect
that you are a wise man in your day and generation," said
Rachel, extending her hand and looking taller than nature
intended in her white draperies.

The old shadow crossed Mr. Selden's face as he took her
hand and answered:

"Not wise, I fear, but weak. He is only a poor soldior
who keeps to the rear ranks."

"Are not those in front often so blinded by smoke that
they waste strength and valor, and need reinforcement from
the rear. It would not be well for all to desire one place."
"That's why I am modest and stick to the commissariat,"
Baid Philip laughing. He was feeling merrier since he had
seen hiB mother, and succeeded in convincing her that his
stay here was building him up after the malarial
influence of Cherry Wold. This admission of itself deeply
gratified Mrs. Wells, for Philip had always said there was no
such thing as malaria any where about their farm. The more
he thought of it the happier he felt, and before his open
declaration about the commissariat he had been amusing Erl
with the story of a man who was stopped so often on his
way home from a fishing trip that the fish baked in his
basket.

"And what I told you about that man, Miss Selden. will
certainly happen to us," he said after the langh occasioned
by his last remark had subsided, pointing down the read.
"For here comes Dick and the Brownie."

"Is that what you call Mr. Cummings?" asked Erl. "Poor
man he walks as if half the life had been taken out of him."
"Yes, that's hiB name. I know Dick's bad more fun with
him to-day than would do to tell. His gait is a little awkward
isn't it. Ray?" Philip contemplated his own length of limb
and was pleaBed that nature had not treated him as she had
poor Cummings.

Rachel forebore to answer Philip's question, and instead
asked Mr. Selden what she should do to Mr. Foote for abus-
ing her friend so. Mr. SelHon replied that a woman of her
wit Bhould not be at a loss how to punish a man who pro-
fessed such fears of the gentle sex as Dick did.

In the meantime the fishermen drew nearer and Mr.
Cummings' appearance caused even Mr. Selden to smile, and
to agree that Rachel's name was appropriate. Everything
about the little man was so brown; hair, eyes and side
whiskers, that Erl wondered she had not noticed it before,
and thought, perhaps, the peculiar copper color fixed on his
face by the day's sunshine enhanced the general effect. Dirt
too, and perspiration conspired against the beauty of his roan-,
tenance, and excessive fatigue robbed him of whatever ani-
mation was natural.

*'Oh, ho, ho!" Baid Dick, as|be reacbeditke group, looking
not in the least disconcerted. "So you found one another."
"Yes, tJanks to you," replied Rachel, with a look that
made Dick's eyes veil themselves immediately, but in a lone
as Bweet as though he had exerted himself to the utmost in
her cause. "Mr. Cummings, do yon know Mr. Selden and
his daughter?" The tired little man exchanged greetings,
and ponting his lips after a fashion he cultivated when par-
ticularly pleased with himself, said to Philip:
"You don't look much as if you'd been fishing."
"Perhaps my basket may tell a different tale. " said Philip,
opening it. He detested what he called "Cummings' fozzy
way."

The Brownie'B round eyes gained new prominence while
he looked, but his disposition was not of the conciliatory
kind, so he turned to Erl and said:
"Isn't that your basket, MisB Selden?"
"Indeed not; I am quite behind today.";
"Miss VTells," said Dick, following his usual impetuous
course, "don't you want to learn how to fish?', He was
seated on the hillock fr. -m which they bad risen, and Rachel
was obliged to notice that bis eyes were clear and bright, and
his face glowing with health.

"Mr. Foote," she answered, imitating his tone at first, but
giving it up as she proceeded, "when Adrian asked Erasmus
to come to Rome, the brilliant hut oireworn student replied,
"You might as well say to the crab, "Fly." ' So it is in re-
gard to my fishing. I fear I should be always tormenting
myself with this mathematical problem: If it takes a stout
man like Mr. Fcote one hour ro catch three small trout, bow
long will it take a thin man like Mr. Commiogs to catch ten
large trout?"

"Then you refuse to be instructed?"

"Absolutely. Yes, Phil, dear, I know you ate anxious to
begone. Mr. Cummings, will you permit me to assist you
and your coat and your basket up the hill?"

Mr. CummiDgs turned at this, and made a little inke of his
own, and so with laughter and jest they parteH. aft - Sel-

den had gained from Rachel a promise that sli

An Additional Section.

Solano and Napa Colt Stakes for 1889.

Since the matter alieady written was in type we have
received from Sacramento an additional section to the
bill before the Legislature, which overcomes one objec-
tion we have advanced. It is as follows:

Sec. 5. This act shall not be construed or held to forbid
or prevent the making of any match or stake ontwide or
beyond the grounds or enclosure of the race track by the
principals making such match or stake, upon any race."

"While this may take away the presumption of ille-
gality attending the getting up of stakes or making
matches, we are s*ill of the opinion that the changes
recommended in the article under the head of the title of
the bill now before the Legislature would satisfy all
concerned. There are advantages in pool-selling the
night previous to events coming off, among which may
be named that the revenues are increased and an interest
awakened which would not be felt were pools prohibited
on any other place excepting on the grounds, or within
the enclosure where the contests are to be decided. The
revenues of the State and District fairs would be mate-
rially reduced were the sales of the preceding night
stopped, and in San Francisco the speculation anterior
to that un the track effects a double purpose by increas-
ing revenue and attendance. When that plan is ob-
served there are no regular rooms in which the business
is transacted, the place for selling being selected for the
special occasion. It is manifestly apparent that rooms
of a size necessary to accommodate an assemblage such
as a race-meeting or fairs attract, will cost too heavy a
rental to warrant more than temporary occupation, and
the danger of illicit business or surreptitious pool-selling
and bookmaking do not figure.

It is far from our intention to endanger the passage of
a bill through delaying the consideration, although ex-
tremely anxious that an act may be passed which will
be beneficial to the breeding interests of the State. We
may be in error in thinking that a brief act will serve
the purpose, and that a mass of words, mainly repeti-
tions, are necessary to give legal force. Still, as deeds,
wills, etc., are now drawn in so few words that brevity
is a etaitling feature when compared with the huge doc-
uments of early days, we cannot see why a law which is
fully exp.essed in one or a few sentences, should be in-
valid.

All that is necessary to cover the question at issue is
to declare it illegal to sell pools, make books, or keep a
place for wagering on contests which take place outside
of the boundary lines of California.

Another sentence will provide the penalties and man-
ner of punishment for breaking the law. The consider-
ation both in committee and Legislature will be short-
ened, and with little to wrangle over, its passage would
be assureed in a short time.

Popular Support.

The advertisement which first appeared in the Breed-
er and Sportsman of last week, notifying these inter-
ested, of stakes which were to be decided at the Napa and
Solano Fair of 1889, are well worthy of atten-
tion. There is one change which we would like to see
made, that being the removal of '-bars" in the free-for-
all stakes for two and three-year-olds. Fleet is "ruled
out" in one and Sunol in another. Now in the Stanford
Stake for this year, in which Sunol is named, there were
seven others to make third payment, and in the Occident
of this year nine others made third payment. Fleet is
named in the Stanford and Occident Stakes to be trotted
in 1800, and in the Stanford nineteen stay in, and in
the Occident forty-three say content.

This is an assurance that the Napa Stakes will have
plenty of nominations without resorting to bars, and in
fact it is our opinion that there will be more without
prol ibition. Although without authority to make the
statement, we believe that Palo Alto will not enter if
th<! bar is retained.

hi our part we shall make nominations either way
ed, though should prefer that it wa.s in reality free-
all.

In this country, at least, a law to be effective must
have the support of the public; by that it being meant,
that if an enactment is thought by a majority of people
to be over strict, that it will be a dead ordinance.

Were the old Blue Laws revived, or the Criminal
Code which prevailed a century ago, when what are
now considered trivial crimes were punished by death,
it would be nigh to impossible to get a jury to convict.
A bill to regulate poolselling and bookmaking must be
framed so that there will bj little incentive to violate
the conditions, and that violation vill not awaken sym-
pathies in favor of the transgressor; in short, a law
which will have the "backing" of a major part of the
community.

The population of California is peculiarly cosmopol-
itan, and in all probability there is not a State in the
Union which can equal it in this respect. Yery many
are from countries in which the Sabbath is not ob-
served as strictly as it is in regions which are still in-
fluenced by traditions of the Reformation, and they can-
not understand why such rigid rules should be enforced
as were held to be obligatory by the followers of Knox
and Calvin. Some of our most worthy citizers are of
the opinion that amusements which do not trench on
the rights of others should not V>e tabooed on one day in
seven, and were the attempt made to coerce them into a
contrary course, rebellion would follow, or rather an
opposition difficult to subdue.

This can scarcely be termed laxity of morals, as in
every other respect the people referred to are exemplary
in their conduct. While some of the Sunday picnics
present an assemblage cf disorderly people, there are
others in which the strictest decorum is observed, and an
Eastern visitor who may be surprised that there should
be suoh a general exodus from San Francisco on a
bright Sabbath day, will also be struck with the evi-
dence of respectability which dress and demeanor give
an appearance of being a characteristic.

There is a still larger class which cannot be made to
believe that a wag6r is one of the seven deadly sins, or
that so long as speculation on racing and trotting affairs

is kept within bounds that great harm can result.
Should a law be passed prohibiting all speculation on
contests to test the physical superiority of men and
animals, the voice of the general public would be raised
in opposition thereto. Were everyone arrested who
made a wager, a big station house would be needed in
each block in the city, and policemen posted in every
hotel, saloon, and other place where men congregate.
Over-severity defeats the object, making martyrs of men
and thereby arousing a feeling that their punishment
far exceeds their deserts.

Antevolo Sold.

The sale of Antevolo to Robert Steel of Philadelphia
was consummated last Saturday, the consideration being
eighteen thousand dollars. We have written a good
deal about him, though excepting in advertisements
only in connection with illustrations of the effects of
shoeing, and divergences from the usual methods of
training and stable management. Having sold and de-
livered to Mr. Steel the horse (though he will not start
on his Eastern trip until Mr. Knox is ready to take
Anteeo), we can give our opinion more freely than when
that could be ascribed to pecuniary interest. When that
is presented with the fullest belief that he is entitled to
all the encomiums bestowed, the question will arise
What are the reasons for selling him so much lower than
the amount reported in sales of high class trotting stal-
lions? Easily answered, the main reason being the
pressing need of a good deal of n oney; another, that in
our circumstances there was a constant anxiety which
compelled personal attention, and which interfered with
other affairs.

In the case of any high-priced horses, a poor man is
under a great disadvantage. Buyers, very properly,
bring into their negotiations the pecuniary standing of
the owner, and base their offers with that as an element
to their advantage. Had our means been such that we
could have escaped from under the harrow of debt, were
we in a condition to take the risk of loss, twice the
amount would not have bought him; in fact, with some-
thing to "fall back upon," it is doubtful if he would
have been sold, were the purchase money in excess of a
sum which has ever been paid for a horse.

We have seen many horses, owned a few, and in our
long experience never saw a trotting stallion which could
equal him in all the points which give value and create
affection akin to what we feel for kindred and friends.
We have owned two which united, combined the quali-
ties of Antevolo, "Old" Blackbird and Double Cross; the
former possessing form, speed and endurance, Double
Cross the mental qualifications of docility, Bense and
abundant good nature.

The excellences we claim for Antevolo are high form,
breeding as nearly similar to the fastest trotters, without
near relationship, as can be obtained, or rather a mix-
ture of the blood of the greatest progenitor of trotters,
with a thoroughbred grand-dam, the same combination
that haB produced Maud S , Jay-Eye-See and Sunol;
good size, faultless in disposition, and, withal, beauty in
an eminent degree. "Led out by the bridle," and he
will attract attention from the most passive observer,
elicit admiration from experts, as well as those who are
not up in all the mysteries of points. His action is per-
fect, his speed, when he was free from ailments, so great
as to warrant the belief that he could capture the fastest
stallion record, and game and endurance which justified
our opinion that two miles well within 4:40 were in his
power to accomplish. For uniformly good looking colts
he cannot be surpassed, and so far as can be predicted
from the gait and "natural Bpeed" of his colts, expecta-
tions that his progeny will equal him in speed are not
without solid foundation.

When Anteeo and he areput in the same car, a parallel
cannot be found injthe United States. Two "own" entire
brothers which have beaten 2:20, and it is perfectly safe
to say that two finer -looking specimens of the highly
bred American trotter will be difficult to obtain.

Not the least of the qualifications of Antevolo are those
which come from being a good member of a great fam-
ily, and with Electioneer, acknowledged to be at the
head of all stallions when great speed is the basis of
comparison, A. W. Richmond, Bonnie Scotland, im-
ported Monarch, imported Trustee, etc., what more
could be desired on that score? The only betterment a
nearer cross of thoroughbred, provided action and speed
in like degree accompanied the stronger infusion.

Tne brothers will not part company until after their
arrival at Chicago, and we hope that our old friends in
that country will take the opportunity of seeing what
we have done in the way af breeding since we left the
"City on the Lake."

I wonder if the P. C. B. H. Association will adopt the
latest style, and have a bugler at the spring meeting. It is a
vast improvement on the ringing of a bell, and much more
pleasant to the ear. Better try it.

Goodwin's Official Turf Guide.

Now that the hurry and bustle of the late racing
season is over, the lover of turf sports can find time to
review calmly the doiags of the equine cracks, and
leisurely scan the results. To be able to do this intelli-
gently, it is necessary to have a copy of the Racing
Guide just issued by the Goodwin Bros., at 241 Broad-
way, New York. It is a complete resume of the racing
season of 18S8, showing the performances of each and
every horse. Time, weight, jockey, pedigree and betting
are given, thus enabling the seeker after information to
learn everything necessary to be known. In addition
thereto is the scale of weights for the United States,
fastest time made in 1888 at all distances, fastest time
on record, list of horses whose names have been changed,
number of mounts each jockey had last year, to whom
the jockeys are engaged for 1889, interesting turf events,
betting rules, and in fact so much information useful to
the sportsman, that to be without a copy will leave one
at a serious disadvantage. Orders for the Guide should
be sent to the publishers, whose address is given above,
the prices being two, three, and four dollars, according
to the binding.

Impersonality-

There is one advantage in using the somewhat cum-
bersome editorial "we," as that takes away the direct
personal bearing which the singular pronoun gives.
Although articles which are classed as editorials may be
an embodiment of the views and opinions of the person
having the power to guide the course of the paper which
is under his charge, there are shades of differences well
understood by a majority of readers. It may be said
that one is a broad stream, the other a rapid current, the
first flowing with a sort of dignified tranquillity, the
other leaping from crag to boulder, flowing along in
places with irresistible impetuosity, then breaking into
spray when the obstacle is beyond its force. The editor
speaks for the public, the correspondent presents indi-
vidual views. An orator's main dependence is en sway-
ing the feelings, as well as influencing the judgment!
the writer's aim is to convince by logical reasoning.
Patrick Henry, Henry Clay, S. S. Prentiss can be cited
as examples of oratorical force, Benjamin Franklin as,
par excellence, an embodiment of sound reasoning.

In presenting our views of the question which is now
paramount in interest to the breeders of horses in Cali-
fornia, we shall endeavor to divest it of all personal con-
siderations, although there is a direct personal interest.
With only a few horses, and a small number of city lots
for a "breeding establishment," we have received since
the spring of " 1882 over $75,000 from the sale and earn-
ings of a small number of horses. The tracks of Cali-
fornia, and the interest taken in the "exhibitions of
speed" have been the cause of making that return, and
without that aid one-tenth of the sum would not
have been realized. To breeders who have one hun-
dred dollars or more investod to each hundred cents
of our capital — and there are many such in this State —
the question is one of the greatest magnitude. "Whether
these interests are jeopardized by adverse legislation, or
threateued by the continuation of public betting rooms,
in either case it is our manifest duty to take all honorable
means to guard the interests at stake.

Believing that rooms where pools are sold and book-
making carried on nearly every day in the year, the
main business being on races which are decided to the
eastward of the Missouri river, is a decided drawback to
the horse -breeding interests of California, and also inim-
ical to other interests, we favor a bill which will divest
pool-selling and bookmaking of their objectionable
features.

Believing also that pool-selling, and in a less degree
bookmaking, when restricted to their proper spheres are
so intimately interwoven with racing and trotting
affairs, and so essential to the prosperity of turf and
track, and consequently that separation is next to impos-
sible, and were it possible to effect that end there would
result such a depreciation of value as to be an effectual
estoppel to that branch of business, one of the great re-
sources of the State "squelched," and a source of reason-
able recreation to thousands of people abolished; there-
fore we are not only in favor of a law which will protect
depending interests, but also feel in duty bound to do all
in our power to aid in obtaining legislation which will
be of service.

"We do not believe in legislation which seeks to force
mankind into a course that human nature rebels against
following. That idea belongs to an era long past in en-
lightened countries. It is a relic of the days when des-
potism was thought to be ths proper method of govern-
ment, the outgrowth of a feeling that a privileged class
were the owners, body and soul, of all those who differed
with them in opinion, when racks, thumb -screws, and
all the paraphernalia of torture were brought into requi-

sition to compel belief in doctrines however absurd to a
mind with sufficient capacity to arrive at a conclusion on
evidence presented.

"While advocating the fullest liberty, we are far from
wishing to see all restraints removed, so that guilty pas-
sions may have full sway, and human society has such
numerous ramifications that due care must be observed
that while granting entire freedom to conscientious be-
lief, and all the individual liberty compatible with the
rights of the whole people, there must be a restraining
force, a system which will tend to prevent crime as well
as punishment for crimes committed.

As has been stated before, the grounds of our opposi-
tion to public betting rooms is the effect which they have
on horse interests. Others can argue on a high morality
plan, and so far as removing temptation from young
men, and those who are entrusted with money which is
not their own, we coincide in their views. In many re-
spects pool rooms are no worse than what are considered
legitimate fields of business. For one man who has
been ruined by indiscreet speculations on horses, thou-
sands have succumbed to the blandishments of stock
boards and "exchanges," but to reason that the compar-
atively smajl injuries which are due to the establishment
of such boards are an offset to the unbounded advan-
tages obtained is so puerile, that the rationcurator who
presented the argument, it is safe to assert, is too con-
tracted in his undertaking to gain much of a following.
On a parity with this reasoning is that which is based
upon aspersion of the men who conduct the business in
San Fi ancisco,

There is not a man of our acquaintance at all promi-
nently identified with pooling and book-making in thiB
city, who is not trustworthy. That the evils which are
due to unrestricted pool selling and book making are
curtailed as much as possible while under their manage-
ment, is beyond question, but it does not follow that the
evils are entirely removed. Were the business in the
hands of unscrupulous men the disease would cure itself,
or rather its course would be short, and a few months
bring a crisis.

the support of so large a majority of the people of Cali-
fornia who are interested in the question as to be practi-
cally unanimous.

"An Act to Restrict Gaming."

As was stated last week we did not see a copy of the
bill, under the above heading, until the foreman was
locking the forms, and the only paragraph glanced at
was "Section 1," and that only to learn that it was not
to operate within the track enclosure or buildings in
which contests were to be decided. Now that we have
had an opportunity to read the whole bill, features are
discovered which renders it peculiarly objectionable, and
which, if not remedied, will ensure its defeat. Literally
construed if a match is made or a sweepstakes gotten up
in the Palace Hotel or the office of the Breeder and
Sportsman, all parties, including the owner of the build-
ing, are subject to fine and imprisonment.

To a person who is not conversant with legal phrase-
ology, or the tautological nonsense of legal documents,
it seems a simple matter to frame an act which will meet-
the exigency. The desire of ninety-nine of every hundred
men interested on either side of the question is that pool-
selling and bookmaking shall be so restricted as to bene-
fit the whole of the great number of people interested,
and not to the general detriment and the interests of a
few individuals as is the case at present. Oar idea, pre-
sented in plain language, is that all pool-selling and
book -making shall be restricted to the grounds of bona
fide associations, fairs which are regularly organized,
club-rooms, in which athletic exercises are conducted,
adjacent to where rowing matches, aquatic, or other
events are taking place, and in localities where associa-
tions, Agricultural societies, clubs and managers may
designate, the day preceding that fixed for the event to
come off, providing such penalties as may be deemed
sufficient to effect the purpose. In fact, a still more
simple act will be efficient, and a law which will pro-
hibit pool-selling or public"'betting on any race, contest,
pastime or event which is to take place outside of Cali-
fornia, cover the whole ground.

"We will leave it to men trained to mystify'people with
a lot of verbiage, tojput the'idea in technical language;
at the same time believing that plain statements are
superior to the often-times repeated words in vogue in
the days of Blackstone and other grand luminaries of
legal erudition.

For instance, that all that is necessary is for "People
of the State of California, represented in Senate and
Assembly, do enact as follows:" That whoever sells
pools, engages in book-making, issues tickets or checks,
records wagers, or in any manner become a party to
public betting on events transpiring beyond the limits of
California, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and pun-
ished by fine not exceeding S , imprisonment not

longer than — days, or by both fine and imDriBonment.
The manner of enforcement will be readily agreed upon,
and when put in proper shape, we believe will receive

Advertisement Notices.

Mr. John Trestail of Melbourne, Australia, brought over
on the last steamer bix an tine Clydesdale stallions as were
ever imported into the United States. They are from two to
six years of age and in the pink of condition. Those of our
readers who incline to the heavy draught horse Bhould by
all means visit the Bay District Track and inspect these
specimens of the celebrated Scotch breed. Any information
desired will be cheerfully given by Mr. Trestail at the track,
or by Killip & Co., 22 Montgomery street.

There is no country in the world where J. A. McKerron's
famous horse boots are not known and appreciated. It can-
not be wondered at. as it is a proven fact that thi-re is no
boot made which equals them in durability and elegance of
finish. McKerron's boots are synonymous with "the best,"
and those who use them are satisfied that there are none
better. Read the new advertisement in this i?sue.

The owners of high-olass brood mares will rend with inter-
est the Mambrino Wilkea advertisement on another page.
This justly renowned son of George Wilkes has proved him-
self a Bire worthy of the old horse, his get showing great
speed and unlimited endurance. His owner haa placed the
season fee at a very low figure, which will enable breeders to
avail themselves of this opportunity, and for this year only,
as the price will be raised materially next season. Mambr.no
Wilkes has the reputation of siring large, stylish and hand-
some colts, his well-known son Balkan being pronounced by
many the finest-looking colt at present on the turf.

Mr. Gormon, of Oakland, California, has a weli bred
stallion in Grover Clay by Electioneer, and will make the
season with him at the Oakland Trotting Park. As this is
the only Electioneer who will stand in Alameda County, he
Bhould have a bountiful supply of approved mares. Gentle-
men desirous of securing this great blood Jine should read
the advertisement.

Balkan, a son of Mambriuo Wilkes, has been placed in the
stud, as will be seen by reference to the advertisement, with
the number of mares restricted to ten, and they must be uf
the highest approved strains. Balkan is too well known in
California to need lengthy mention at our hands, his per-
formances during the pnst season stamping him as a fitting
representative of the WilkeB blood. His dam, Fanny Fern,
is noted for having among her produce rive fast trotters, all
of whom were sired by different horses. Mr. A. L. HindB, at
the Dexter Stab'e, Oakland, will furnish particulars.

One of the very best stallions, offered for sale in many a
day, is at present in the market, and can be purchased at a
bargain. His breeding is of the highest order, and must be
read to be appreciated. The advertisement will give the
owners address.

Among the many celebrated stallions announced in this
issue, there is not one more deserving of mention ihan the
Sidney colt Memo, whose trial of 2:2<H, as a three-year-old,
while suffering from a strain of his fore fetlock, proved him
one of the fastest horses of the year. It would be super-
fluous to say more about this horse, the advertisement giving
his discription, pedigree and performances.

Mr. N. K. Fairbanks of Oakland, has a stallion called
Longworth, which for finish, style, and form cannot be
excelled in the State. He is only four years old, by Sidney,
Gray Dale, and has shown very fast time. Longworth is a
half brother to the wonderful Adonis, whose 2:14£ as a three-
year-old, proved him the phenomenal pacer of 1888. The
horse will stand in Oakland, the addreeB being found in the
advertisement.

Mr. S. N. Straube, of the Poplar Grove Breeding Farm,
Fresno, offers for sale a quantity of thoroughbred polled An-
gus cattle, and also has choice short horn breeds, all with A
1 pedigrees. Mr. Straube has not conriued himself entirely
to cattle, but makes a point of breeding high class trotting
horses. Mr. Straube sends in a new announcement this
week, informing the public where his three well-known stal-
lions will make the season. The first is Clovis, a highly-
bred Sultan, the peer of any horse in the State, and one
whose book is bound to fill in short order. Pasha, another
representative of the great Sultan, is spoken of very highly;
he is a tine, handsome horse, far above the average, and will,
beyond question, win laurels for himself in the stud. Still
another is Apex, a noble son of Promptor, and those who
fancy the blood of Blue Bull can find in this stallion all that is
desired. These choice horses speak for themselves, and need
no commendation at our hands. Read the advertisement, and
write for further particulars to Mr. Straube.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A few of the active

to hold a five day's race meeting at Agricultural Park, and
desire to claim May 7th as the opening day. The work bus
been carried to such an extent that we are confident of the
movement being a complete success. We offer $4,000 in
purses, besides various other interesting features. The
committee now engaged on the speed programme will com-
plete their labors in a few days, when we will send you a
full programme for publication. If you can furnish us with
the address of Miss Myrtie Peek, we will consider the infor-
mation a favor. Yours respectfully,

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, nameB claimed, presentations and rtealhx
In their kennels, in all Instances writing plainly names of Bite and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

By an oversight the name of Mr. Albert Peri of Marysville
was omitted from the list of those elected to membership in
the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club at its laBt meeting. Mr.
Peri is now in Europe looking up a good English setter and
we hope may procure a world beater.

The London "Shooting Times" has issued its customary
Chrintnjas Annual, with a very appetizing table of contents.
The Anuual has nsnally drifted to oar table, but we have
been lost in the shuffle this yaar.

An advertiser wishes to procure the services of a thorough-
bred Gurdon setter bitch. He owns a desirable dog and will
share the litter or pay a fee. It is a favorable opportunity
for fanciers of the high-beaded, beautiful black and tans.

During held trial week, a deposit of §50 a side was made to
bind a one-day's race between Mr. J. Martin Barney's pointer
Galatea and Mr. Thomas Bennet's English setter Sirius. On
thinking the matter over Mr. BarDey decided- that he could
not handle Galatea against Mr. Walter's handling of Sirius,
and forfeited. The match was the outcome of heated talk,
and was best declared off. Private races of the sort are pre-
judicial to held trials, make enemies and do no good.

The Secretary of the Pacific CoaBt Field Trial Club desires
to call especial attention to the fact that entries to the Derby
close on May 1st next. The cluh was never in ho good con-
dition and its trials in January next will be equal both in
size and quality to any in America, if owners ot young set-
ters and pointers but stand with it, for the improvement of
the dogs. The Derby should have seventy-five nominations
and thirty starters. A little reflection will convince any
reader that field trials are a good thing. The forfeit is bu:
S5, and it is hoped that entries will be made promptly.

Mr. "Wm. De Mott contemplates establishing himself as a
dog trainer, somewhere near San Francisco, very soon. He
is a careful, conscientious man, and will soon learn the art
of training.

Mr. Allender remains at Watsonville, and will receive dogs
to be prepared for next year's trials.

Mr. Walter is looting for a location in Kern county, and
may set up a training kennel there.

Colonel Sam Beaver, of the bank of California, may be a
prettv good sort of a man, but he iR a sad wae, as witness
the 'following lines on Mr. Linville's setter Donna, which
died a few months ago:

"Here lies the body of Linville's Donna.

Step aside an<i don't tread on her;

Bred too high to wet her toes,

Or wander where the thicket grows.

Sbe'd better been, the naughty hound,

If boiled to soap within the pound."

Mr. L. J. Rose, Jr., goes to England and the Continent
for a few mouths visit in March. While abroad he intends
to examine the best pointer kennels of England and to pur-
chase one or more of the best youngsters he can find. Mr.
Rose's judgment on form is very good, and he is also a critic
on field work, so that his purchases may be expected to be
as good as cau be bad.

Judge C. 3. Peshall of Jersey City, N. J., the most read-
able of Kennel writers, and curiously learned in all that per-
tains to the dog, has presented to Mr. J. Martin Barney a
young pointer bitch by Jimmie— Daisy of N*bo. The bitch
will be sent out in whelp to Nick of Naso, Jndge Peshall's
fine stnd dog, and the puppies will have a double cross of
Nick's blood, which ought to insure their field performances.
The bitch is solid liver like her Bire, except that she has a
white star in brisket and some white toes.

A good story is told of Mr. Charles Mason, who as most
of our readers are aware, holds a prominent position in the
American Kennel world. Mr. Mason was judging, and an
exhibitor who had been repeatedly asked to leove the ring
declined to do so. After the awards had been made, the
"kicker" approached Mr. Mason and addressed him: "Say,
judge, will you just now tell me what's wrong with thiB dog?"
No answer. "Now, look here, judge; can't you just tell me
what's wrong? Give me one fault in him." "Well," at last
replied Mr. Mason, "His chief fault is, that he will live too
long!"

Friend Sherman of the "Kern Conoty Californian," mixes
things a little when he says that "Mr. Schreiber's Mountain Joe
was one of the handsomest of the dogs, and lack of trainiug
only prevented his getting a prize. But he will grow to it."

Mountain Boy is anything but a handsome dog, althoagh
he has lots of quality. He is a thoroughly trained field dog,
and won first in the All- Aged Stake in 1885. Probably Mr.
Sherman, to whom the Field Trialers are indebted for many
kindly services, had in mind Mr. Schreiber's Nestor, a grand
yonug dog, that needed only experieuce to make him about
right. So good a judge as Mr. Jos Bassford thought Nestor
to be about as good a pointer as he had seen at any of the
meetings of the Club.

The California Kennel's notice of the whelping of nine
poppies by Harold — Miss Druid noted elsewhere is worth
especial remark, not only because of the peculiar excellence
of the puppies, bu t because of the misfortune which destroyed
six of the litter. The sire is a splendidly bred and fine look-
ing son of the be»t English setter that ever lived. The dam is
bv Druid— May B., a cross so Btrong in the blood of Duke and
Rhoebe as to make it invaluable. The litter, eight dogs and a
bitch, was eveuly marked and very handsome, but the dam
laid upon and smothered all but the three dog puppies. It
need not be said that the survivors will be sedulously watched
by Judge Post. Each one is worth a good many times its
weif. ut in silver, and all should make firet claBB field dogB.

weather and D. M. Pyle had a great day. The chief interest
laid in the comparative excellence of Point and Old Black
Jop, and the opinion of most of those who saw the work was
that Point beat Joe badly in pace, range, and nose, although
both did nice work.

The Wible Ranch was hunted over, the cover being sage-
brush, birds plenty, but r ther wild. All of the dogs did
much better work than in the Iriais, probablv because there
was more deliberation and less excitement. The hunt lasted
for five hours and a huge bag of quails and cottontails was
brought in.

Another party took out Sirius, Sirocco, Sunlit and old
Sweetheart." Messrs. W. E. Houghton and wife, H. L.
Burgwardt and wife, and several younger ladies were much
interested in the shooting. Judge Post's old Sweetheart,
headstrong as possible, yet showed much of her old-time fire,
bird sense and snap, and was ab^ut the best dog in the lot.
Such a bitch is a rarity*

Mr. Thomas B. Merry, Commissioner to the Melbourne
Exposition, returned by the steamship Alameda two weeks
ago. He is full of intensely interesting items relating to the
genial and thoroughly sportsmanlike residents of Australia.
On Christmas he dined in Sydney, in a darkened room,
lighted by a profusiou of tapers, the dinner being a hot soup,
baked fish, bacon and greenn, stewed chicken, roast goose,
roast beef, and a huge plum pudding blazing in brandy. Mr.
Merry is of the flesh fleshy. The thermometer stood at 98
degrees, and his notions about Christmas in the Antipodes
may be imagined.

The Stcck-K^eper and Fancier's Chronicle, a very skittish
and interesting English exchange has these notes which will
interest American readers. It says:

It would seem that at American field trials they give the
dogs a fairer trial than they are given here. When the birds
are flushed at our trials (it being the close season), only
blank cartridge is used to see that the competing dogs are
not gnnshy. In the States the birds are killed over the dogs,
and each in turn is asked to retrieve while the other is at
down charge. This, then, is a more thorough trial, but a
fashion that cjnnot be followed at spring trials. Then'the
question arises, would it not be better to bold fields here in
September or, anyhow, as soon as the corn is all cut, which
would, of course, vary wiih the seasons. What a dog was
really made of could then be more easily seen.

The fifteenth field trial Derby of the Eoglish Kennel Club
will begin on April 30th next. It is open to all setters and
pointers whelped during 1S8S, and is more properly speaking
a Derby than are the Americ <n stakes for young dogs. In
the Pacific Coast Club a dog may. be twenty-four and one-
half months old and yet Btart in the Derby. The EngliBh
Club has introduced a new rule which is most excellent.
It is as follows:

"If any dog, beaten in tbe first round of a stake, has
shown, in the opinion of the judge or judges, exceptional
merit, he may be allowed to romain in competition. This
must be declared to tbe secretary or stewards by tbe judges
at ooce, or, on the conclusion of the round. A fre-ih draw
shall then take place, at the direction of the stewards, and
this order of running shall be no more disturbed in finishing
the stake. The usual guarding to be practiced, and, in addi-
tion, those dogs drawn against one another in the first round
to be 'guarded' in the secoud. The judges shall abo have
the power to throw out in the first rouud of a stake both dogs
in competition, if, after a sufficient trial, they consider them
exceptionally deficient in merit. In tuis case the order of
the original draw shall not be disturbed."

We commend study of the role to our readers, in the hope
that either its adoption or tbe adoption of some modifica-
tion of it may prevent the burial of a superior dog early in a
stake by the rules.

Two letters from prominent dog fanciers were received at
Bakersfield during the field trial, which are worth publish-
ing, as illustrating tbe general iaterest felt in the trial, and
the unexceptionable standing of the promoters of the trial.

The first was from Mr. Ramon E. Wilson, President of the
Pacific Kennel Club and an ardent sportsnmu. Mr. Wilson
has made sundry attemp's to be present at tbe meetings of
the trial club but has never been able to attend. Netxt to his
much-to-be-desired presence, such a note as that appended
is appreciated. He wrote:

"LaBt Wednesday night, at the meeting of tbe Paoilic
Kennel Club, at the Palace Hotel, I must have sat in a
draught, for I caught a most horrible cold. I thought I was
certainly going to have pneumooi-i. Have thus far escaped,
but I thought it unwise to undertake to goto Bakersfield.
I had intended to start last night. I defer to my wife's
judgment, but I believe she feels aH badly about it*ns I do.
Of course you know how disappointed I am. I hope yon
will explain my absence to tbe boys and say to them that I
am with them in spirit aud thought; that I think of them
during the day, and actually last night I dreamed of dou*.
gnns, and all of you whom I belii-ved present. I hope you
will all come buck well, and that you may say you had a
good time and that the trials were a cDtnplete success."

The second letter was from Mr. H. T. Payne of Los An-
geles, four English setter puppies of whose breeding were
entered iu the Derby. Mr Payne's kennel is particularly
strong in that sterling old Duke— Rbmbe buioi which origi-
nally gave pluck and stamina to I he Laverock's, and we hope
better luck may attend the efforts of the Los Angeles contin-
gent during the coming year. Mr Payne wrote:

"It seems a great privation not to be able to be with you
at the trials, but business matters which I cannot neglect
compel me to remain, at leist for tbe present. Possibly I
may get in tbe last day or two. The boys here were unable
to do anything with tbeir dogs, ou account of not being able
to get a trainer. They have been working them themselves
this winter, but all being business men, they have had but
little time. The dogs, however, are doiDg splendid, consid-
ering their work. The whole litter are natural pointers, aud
keen hunters. I believe the bitch will yet have the name of
produoing some of the best dogs in tbe State, if we ever suc-

Coursing: at Casa Blanca.
Messrs. Lockwood, Bettner, Gilliland and Gaylord of
Riverside recently organized a coorsing meeting at Casa
Blanca, near Riverside, and made it a very successful and
delightful affair. A description of the event, from an un-
practiced but enthusiastic participant, reaches us, and is so
good, as illustrating the phraseology and notions of one not
au fait in the sport, that we give it in full. The reporter
says:

When the company had assembled at Casa Blanca, a scene
was presented which must have excited the admiration of
anyone with a particle of poetry in his composition, however
indifferent he might be to the attractions of the chase. But
to tbe lovers of such noble sport as practiced elsewhere, and
under widely different conditions; to those who have experi-
enced that thrill of joy which fills the very soul of a man
when he feels beneath him the impatient and forceful stride
of a spirited steed, and listens to the musical cry of a paok
of fox hounds, — to them the novelty aud beauty of the
6cene were indescribably delightful. Never did a "meet"
take place amid more lovely suiTonudinus than this. AH
tbe conditions were well-mgh perfect, worthy of the presence
of Diana herself. The drive was tilled with vehicles and
well-mounted horsemen. Merry greetings and peals of
laughter were heard on every side. Tall, lithe and slender
greyhounds, some of them splendid spe3iinens,--tbe em-
bouimeutof giace and speed, — moved here and there among
the crowd. Above all, however, — the crowning glory,—
was tbe bright presence of the ladies. Their lovtiy faces
aud brilliant costumes added tbe one element needed to
omphtetbe picture. Even 'Old Prubs' entered into tbe
spirit of tbe occasion and furnished weather with which no
oue could liud fault, — it was sirvnly superb.

Leaving Casa Blauca at 11 o'clock, th« party followed Mag-
nolia avenue to its end, and turning to the right entered up-
on the open plain. Here a line of horsemen was
formed, the vehicles placed upon an eminence in the rear and
tbe gentleman who had charge of the dogs took portion
slightly in tbe advance. At the word of comniaud the line
moves forward. Everyone was on the "tip-toe of expectation,"
but the suspense did not last long. The line did not pro-
ceed far wbeu suddenly a rat. bit i-pr.iug up before the dugs,
a wild shout goes up along the line, and we are off. Snur'r
<lii< peutl Devil take the hiudnunt!

What a glorious sensation it was to be in tbe midst of this
mad rush! The rabbit was large, able-bodied and extremely
progressive, Bud if be did not share tbe general and oft-re-
peated opinion that "on such a day as this mere existence is
a pleasure," be seemed to think that it was at least better
than uothing. (ill thi* did not ^rrike the writer at tbe time,-
in fact nothing e truck him so forcibly just then as tbe sand
and gravel thrown by the boree of a young lady in bis front.)
At any rate "jack" is anuihilating space at a rate wbioh

in zig-zag curves along the ground, while the nearest pursu-
ing dog appropriately resembles the extended "tail" of dark-
colored smoke following the some course. The pace is ter-
rific, and it speaks well of the quality of California hoTses
that they keep it so well in view.

Now the rabbit is pressed so closely by the leading dog
that he is forced to change his course, very mcoh to the ad-
vantage of his pursuers, who are now close on his heels. In
vain does he try all the dodging tactics peculiar to his race.
As he pasBes over the crest of a low hill a beautiful fawn-
colored dog comes in with a rush. A few well-executed
dodges and passes, and then bunuy loses his presence of
mind, turns the wrong way, is met in thu midst of his curve
and — "existence is no longer a pleasure" to him. In a sec-
ond he aud the dogs are surrounded by the huntsmen as
they arrive at full speed, each striving to be before the other,
and the first lady is presented with the brush as a trophy.

Then, after resting the dogs and horses, a new line is
formed, and soon another chase, and bo on through the
morning, until all assembled for lunch on Mr. LUlie's beauti-
ful green alfalfa Held. Horses were unsaddled and fed, the
events of the morning were talked over, and everything was
as merry as a marriage bell.

The plains south of Arlington station were agreed upon
for the afternoon Bport, and there occurred the two most ex-
citing runs of the day, both kills taking place midst the car-
riages and spectators, with neck and neck finishes in both
instances for the houor of first place.

As the riders and spectators pursoed their way homewards
the scene of the morning was repeated, and all agreed that
never had they passed a more delightful day. So much in-
terest and enthusiasm has been awakened that it has been
proposed to form a Hunt Club, with a regular meet every
two weeks during the season.

TRAP.

The trap season will begin with a meeting of the Gun Club
at Bird's "Point, on February 22d. Most of the members
have been active in held shooting during the winter, so that
high scores may be expected at the initial meeting.

A reunion of the Cosmopolitan Club is talked of, and Capt.
Ault will probably institute such an affair as he has done
during the season last passed.

Messrs. Parker Bros, of Meriden, Conn., have sent to San
Francisco a sample of their new hammerless shot gun. The
weapon is well built, on clean, fine lines, hangs well, is
strong and Bimple in system, aDd in every way a workman-
like aud creditable production. We hope soon to be able to
dismantle one of the guns and describe it more accurately.
Mr. S. A. Tucker who will soon be on the Coast, will b'nd no
difficulty in placing large orders for the gun.

Miss Lillian Smith.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: As I have a little time I
thought I would drop you a few lineB to let my California
friends know where I am, and what I am doing. I am at
home with my parents this winter, resting from my Euro-
pean tour, which was a grout success.

I have just received from Westley Eiohards, of .London,
England, a first quality, hammerless, 12 guage shot gun as a
Christmas present, and I prize it very highly, as it is a beau-
tiful gun.

In a few days I am going to give an exhibition of rifle shoot-
ing, and I shall attempt to beat all records of rapidity shoot-
ing. I will break five hundred balls in 15 minutes.

I expect to come to California this coming summer.

CANOEING.

Mr. V. E. Scifferstein whilom sprinter and amateur cham-
pion of the world at 100 yards, writes that he has returned
to San Francisco to stay. Strong inducements were offered
him to affiliate with some of the Eastern athletic clubs, but
he preferred to follow a home lead as a dealer in coal and a
general insurance broker at 624 Market street.

Oakland Canoe Club.

The annual meeting took place last Saturday evening; the
reports were most satisfactory, and the club in a prosperous
condition. The officers of the past year were re-elected with-
out exception, being W. W. Blow, Commodore; A.D.Har-
rison, Vice-Commodore; H. Landsberger, Secretary; and W.
Morrow, Treasurer.

The Moyrisch badge race so long looked forward to and
prepared for ended in a fizzle. The race was set for two
o*clock last Sunday, and when the time arrived the light
breeze which had prevailed during the morning had entirely
dropped, it being dead calm. Most of the entries ;voted for
a postponement, and anyway for a time limit of one hour or
no race, but one or two who had hoisted skyscrapers insisted
on the drift being made. The word wasgiven and the caones
floated about like a flock of ducks. In half an hour they had
made about 200 yards, when it began to rain, and a stampede
for the boathouBe ensued. No one, however, noticed the
Shadow. Her skipper had been one of the hottest to advo-
cate the time limit, and when he was overruled he very saga-
ciously resolved to take them at their word, and continued
on his way. He got round the conrae in two hours twenty
minutes, and returning found everybody gone, and his ab-
sence unremarked even by the judges, who were also invis-
ible. He pulled iu his boat and Beeking the judges at their
homeB claimed the badge, which was justly awarded him.
Altogether it was a pretty good joke on the boyp, and will
teach them that when they insist on sailing iu a calm they
must beware of the dark horse.

On Snnday, the 27th, the canoes went down the creek in
force to see the Long— Griffin race. The Frolic started
early and cruised to Aleatraz and across the cbannel, return-
ing to Goat Island for lunch, and joining the fleet at the
mouth of the creek. There was a lovely little breeze
and the perfection of sailing was eojoyed. All returned
on the flood tide about 2 p. M. The canoe club are to be the
guestB of the Corinthian Yacht Club on Washington's birth-
day, and several intend cruising over to Tiburon beforehand
and enjoying some sailing in those waters.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Breeder and Sportsman: I note an answer to my sug-
gestion for a meetiDg to arrange dates for this fall and sum-
mer fairs. It is without the signature of writer. I can pee
no point or feel approval for such peculiarity, for honest
endeavor for the most general good is all that should be
desired. The fact yet remains that a meeting of all at inter-
est should and no doubt would be of general advantage, and
can do no harm, for even were it desired to have a Southern,
Northern and Central circuit, even then an understanding
would be an advantage, and I hope that a meeting will be
called, and if there is no other agreement each association
there can olaim a date more intelligently than in the absence
of all information. L. J. Rose,

Los Angeles, Jan. 25, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: Allow me to correct "on
the Boaa" a little as to Terra Cotta's breeding. He was bred
in thiB vicinity by the late J. .Henry Bruce, and sold as a
yearling by his administrator at auction, on the farm, with
the majority of the stock. He is by Harry O'Fallon, dam
Laura B, by Bay Dick; 2nd dam Laura G. by Lee Paul.
Laura G's dam was a mare i»y imp. Scythian. He was a
great horse and should get winners at all distances. The
writer has leased the old Crab Orchard race trick for train-
ing purposes, and is training a stable of six there, five of
them two year-olds, and one three-year-old, the latter is that
Bpeedy colt Lincoln, by St. Martin, dam Olena by imp.Buok-
deu. He is a full brother to Mr. Hankin's flyer Santaline.
After winning two races, in which he made the beBt look
small, last Bpring, he went lame, and was turned out, but
appears to be sound now.

The two-year-olds are imp. Wood Mobs by Creancier, dam
Lady Nar by Macaroni. He is a fine fellow, all English, and
has stood well his recent shipping from Columbia, Mo. So
also has his stable companion, two-year-old b. o. Ballymena,
by imp. Claudius, dam by Tipperary, bred by Dr. A. "W.
McAlister, of that city, who has since the 1st inst. been so
unfortunate as to loose his imp. stallion Claudius. Another
two-year-old is a rasping bay colt by St. Martin, dam Cousin
Judic, by Beacon. Then comes two fillies by St. Martin, one
out of the granddam of Santaline; the other out of a mare bv
Assessor (son of Buckr^en and Ascension, by Daniel Boone).
This entire six has been selected for individual merit and
breeding, not taken to "fill up" — in fact I have declined to
take many good ones. The old Crab Orchard course is an
hiBtoricone; many celebrated horses of earlier days have com-
peted there. The late owner, Mr. H. "W. Karris, was a very
careful man to preserve records of races and incidents of in-
terest, and if they can be found will from tiaoe to time give
some of them to your readers. His aged widow is still living
there, as also are many of his children, one of whom is the
widow of Capt. T. G. Moore, bo well known to Californians
and turfmen everywhere in America. Many of his and of Mr.
Farns' narratives I can yet call from memory. One of the
former's was how he managed to get imp. Glencoe and bring
him to Kentucky, which provoked Col. Johnson into making
an extravagant bet, and how he teased the colonel before he
let him out of it. Mr. FarriB bred and raised the great Jim
Bell and Josh Bell, and never tired of talking of the former,
who was the first horse to lower the mile record to 1:46. I
have heard him frequently say that Jim Bell was foaled on
the first day of June, and had no superior then nor since;
that improvements in race courses— not in horses — had low-
ered records: and in this "Uncle" Wils. Tisdell agreed with
him. In 1877 the last public meeting was held at the old
race course.

Many of the turf journals are wrong in speaking of Heron
as owned by George Hankins, he is the property of J. "W.
Guest, and the Chicago representative has no interest in him,
unlesB he buys him this week from Mr. Guest, who is now
in Chicago, in answer to an offer Mr. Hankings made him for
Heron. Somebody will have "fan'" beating Heron this sea-
son. J. M Laslet.

Black Warrior.

Mr. E. A. De Camp has prepared a short history of the
old-time stallion Black Warrior, which waB originally pub-
lished in the Los Angeles Tribune. As there were several
mistakes in what has already appeared in print, Mr. De Camp
bas made the necessary corrections for the Breeder and
Sportsman.

Los Angeles, January 25, 1889.

Early in the sixties Los Angeles was literally in the saddle
— none so poor as to walk. Yet with all the old Don's horses
— roaming over a thousand hills, in all their pristine Castil-
ian purity — none claimed to know the bloud lines of his
favorite. With such a foundation it required frontier cour-
age to attempt the roadster of to-day, which has made' Los
Angeles a household word in every breeding farm in the
country. May 18, 1857, at the home of Jason Davenport,
Middlebury, Vt., was foaled a jet black colt, sire David
Hilld' Blaek Hawk, dam by Gray Hambletonian, grand dam
a thoroughbred imported Messenger mare. In those good
old Green Mountain days there were good horseB, yet this
equine youngster was awarded first premium by the Ver-
mont State Agricultural society for two years in succession
(1859-60) for the best of his age; for Btyle, action, graceful
movement, mettle and endurance. His owner challenged
the world to produce his equal. Even with the horrors of
war to diBtract business, that prince of good fellows, S. B.
Rockwell, purchased Black Warrior and started for the
golden shores — a no ordinary adventure in those days — ante-
dating the "palaoe horse car." He was first heard from in
old Sonoma, and in July. '62, a patron writes to Lob AngeleB
saying: "His coltB here are numerous, and all are splendid
looking and possess fine action. We would like to have him
back here." .

The grand horse was destined to temper the blood of the
Manadas of Lob Angeles in 1862, with what result little is
known. August 1, '62, that enterprising horseman, Rook-
well, offered colt prizes, to be awarded November 1, 1864, at
the old Willow Grove Hotel, Dear El Monte. Quite an
amount of enthusiasm was aroused, and a number of gentle-
men— among other the Temple brothers Oolima, Poyereno,
Juan aud Tomas Sanchez, Benito Wilson, and Win, Work-
man, all since dead; and Messrs. Garey, Rowland, Gibson,
O. W. Childs and others yet liviDg — made a book of fifty
mares, at $50 each, amounting to $2,500— a great sum in those
days, but it was the means of selling bim to G. P. F. Temple
for $7500. Those were not days of the sulkey, hence we hear
of but good roadsters only. Mr, Garey's prize was a eame
dark-buy colt, which for years was good for three mioutet
any day with two personB in a buggy. He is still living at
26 years, and does his daily work among the nursery trees —
a little stiff, but till loves a brush on the road. Mr. Temple's

prizes were satisfactory, so good, iu fact, that Mr. Ferguson
added Beveral to his livery Btook. Long trips were the order
in those days, but the Warriors were equal to them.

Mr. Askins got one, a roan. She was a good one. He
took her to Oregon, brought her buck, used her for years in
his livery stable, and finally she dropped into the hands of
D. G. Whiting of San Bernardino. Another of the Temple
colts reached Henry Herwig's stable. He used her in an
express wagon. His business extended from Santa Margarita
ranch on the South to General Beale's on the North with
not infrequent trips to San Bernardino and the ocean.

These were the Brst Blepping-stones laid by the old horse.
Mr. Ferguson bred his mare to the Moor. The produce,
along with an Overland, was placed with John D. Young at
Ballona for pasturage on shares. Mr. Young took the Over-
land, a good looker, but that was all. Mr. Ferguson sold
the Moor-Warrior mare to Mr. Rose at a good price. When
Donitoan broke her, he remarked: "She is a stayer; good
for 100 miles out, and every one better than 3:00."

Mr. Whiting bred his roan mare by Warrior to I nca, and
got Inca Jr., 2:37, and good any time for 2:2S; a two-year-
old that trotted in 2:35, and a yearling in 2:50, and with
little training. The Herwig mare, coupled with Gibraltar,
produced that game little mare Dora, owned by Jacob Starr.
Thus are enumerated a few of the marks, and all things
being equal, what horse excelBit? The hard times came,
the days of 1877, the downfall of Mr. Temple and his house-
hold. Black Warrior, the pride of a New England home, a
peer among horses, and wbo had trotted a mile in 2:38 at the
age of 23, was sold for $20, aud thrown into obsenrity.
The auctioneer excused the price by pronouncing him a
failure. Was he? I leave the question to any lover of a
jrotfer, or to those who may read the above.

The following is one of the contracts which the owners of
Black Warrior made with those who patronized the stallion:
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS IN PREMIUMS.

To any person who shall rear the best colt from an Ameri-
can or half breed American mare bred to the trotting stallion
Black Warrior, during the season of 1863, we will pay the
sum of ($50) fifty dollars; also we will pay the like sum of
($50) fifty dollars to the person who shall rear the best colt
from a California mare bred as above stated. We will further
pay the sum of (S25) twenty-five dollars to each person who
shall rear the second bedt colt in each of the two respective
classes bred as above stated. The awards shall be made by
a committee of three good judges chosen by a special com-
mittee of three men, whica last— the appointing committee —
shall be elected by a majority of the exhibitors of colts on the
day of exhibition, which Bhall be holden on the first Satur-
day in November, 1864, at the Willow Grove Hotel, now
kept by I. S. Thompson, in Monte, Cal.

For and in consideration of the services of the stall on
Black Warrior, herein agreed to be furnished by Jones and
Rockwell, and in further consideration of the snm of ooe dol-
lar to each of us in hand, paid by Baid Jones and Rockwell,
we the undersigned each for ourselves respectively promise
and agree to and with said Jones aud Rockwell and their
assigns, that we will pay to them the ftud of fifty dollars for
the service of said stallion Blaek Warrior for the season of
a. d. 1863, commencing the first week in march and closing
during the first week in August, for each mare for which ser-
vice is required.

The number of mares which we hereby agree to furnish
for service being set opposite our respective names, and the
said Jones and Rockwell agree to and with the undersigned
that said stallion shall stand a portion of the time each week
in Monte, and that they will furnish the services of said stal-
lion to said mares as aforesaid, at the prices above mentioned.
Payable in U. S. gold coin. Jones anii Rockwell.

Californian Entries.

One of the leading stakes at the spring meeting of the St.
Louis Jockey Club, is theBrewers' Stallion Stakes. The race
is a popular one and usually has a very large number of
entries. Declaration day has passed and now it is known
what entries are eligible to start for the 51,500 added hy
the Lager men. There is a peculiarity about those remaining
in the list which will undoubtedly strike the reader as re-
markable, and that is, that every horse still left in is a Cali-
fornian. On askinga prominent St. Louis turf man, who is at
present in San Francisco, why all the Eastern horses were
declared, answered, "What is the good of us rnuuiug our
stock against you folk, we have no show on earth against the
California youngBters. Why, just louk, there is a full brother
to the Emperor of Norfolk, do you think I am goiuc to work
my horse to death trying to beat him? Not much!'' Below
will be found the conditions and the list of horses still eligible:

obtaining a record of 2:10, though he was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
ond heat of which was made in 2:31 %, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three vears old,
and had it not heen lor a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he would have shown
in public very close 1 1 the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20J^, and frequently
trotted quarters in from 32^ to 31 seconds.

He is of almost unexceptionable form. 15 hands 3
inchesinheight.of immense poweraud substance, and
also of the highest quality.

He was never in "order" to run, and yet he has
shown well, better by far than could have been ex.
pected under the circumstances.

March 11, 1S86, on the Bay District course, car-
rying 5 pounds over-weight (11.1 lbs.) he defeated,
in a stake for two-year- 'this, Voltigeur, C. H. Todd,
Notidle and Leap Year, the h If mile being run in -\d\
seconds. He has shown quarters in "J:i secondhand ig
so stoutly bred that he could hardly fail to go a dis
tance ut a high rate of speed.

His blood tines could not be improved. His sire,
Young Prince, is the only stallion that lean recall
imported from England to the United states with near
strains of stock well and Ring Tom blond, these noted
horse b being the paternal and maternal grandsires of
YoungPrince. The family of his dam. Lady Amanda,
ranks nigh among the noted clans of America. Mal-

How I Foand Out my

METHOD in the MANN AGE;

And that it is

The only WAY to DRESS HORSES.

There is bat One Truth in anything; and that my Method
is True, cannot be better Demonstrated, than by Experience,
which will clearly show. That Mine never misses its End, as
All Others do; and so Proves Mine True, and Theirs False.
For, to say that some of them come Near the Truth, is
neither Commendation, nor Excuse: A Falsehood within an
Inch of the Troth, being as Bad, as if it were an Hundred
Miles off.

I have Practised, and Studied Horse-manship ever since I
was Tea years old; Have Rid with the Best Masters of all
Nations, heard them Discourse at Large, and Tried their
several "Ways: Have Read all their Italian. French, and
English Books, and some Latin ones; and in a Word, All that
hath been Wr t upon that Subject, Good and Bad; And have
Bestowed many Thousands of Pounds in Horses, have 3poiIed
many, and have been very Long learning of this Art of Horse-
manship.

But all that while I thought still, All was Labor in Yaiu;
and that there was something, not Found out, which They
and their Books Miss: Whereupon I began to consider bo
Seriously, and Study so Earnestly, all the Particulars that
concern the Mannage; that at last I Found this Method,
which is as True, as it is New, and is the Qninteacence of
Horse-manship: For which I have Left all Others, as I had
great Reason so to do, Making with it all manner of Horses
whatsoever, of all Nations, and of all Dispositions; Strong,
Weak; Fallot Fire, Dull and Lazy; even MareB, Geldings,
and Bidets; and all that ever comes to my Hands.

I follow not the Horses Disposition, as most do; but I Make
•■he Horse follow my Waye, and Obey me: I seldom Beat
hem, or Punish them with either Rod, or Spar, but when I

meet with a great Resistance, and that Rarely: And yet I
must tell you, that I use Force, which they Obey willingly,
for the most part; aud, however, all Yield, and Render them-
selves at last, with much Satisfaction to me; which I with
others may tind in following their Ways.

Bat says One, Doth youc Lordship think, that both your
Books would Make me a Horseman? I Answer: That they
are Written as plainly, and as clearly as Possibly can be:
There is in my French Book, Circles, and the Prints of Horses
Shoes, to show How his Legs should Go; there is also exact
Figures of all Postures, and of all Actions, both of Man and
Horse, and more cannot be. Bat whether my Books will
Make 70a a Horse-man or no, though they do as much as
Books can do, I cannot Tell; for yon must have it all in your
Head; and it may be you will not Understand it. But put
the Case you do, yet Wanting the Practice, you cannot Ride
Well; and yet no Fault at all in my Books, but iD £bu.

There are some Nations that Think they can see Nothing,
but they can do it; which must be by Inspiration, by which

I never saw any Ride, though many Pretend to Preach by it.
It is a Long Study, and Diligent Practice; a Long Habit and
Custom, which doth Ail Things in the World, and nothing
done without it: For there is cunning in Daubing.

Do you think, that an Ignorant School-Boy can be as
Learned as a Doctor? Or, let a Skilful Musician Write the
Rarest Book in the World, for Composing, or Singing; Can
you Imagine, that as soon as you have Read his Book, you
can Do what he Teacheth? No truly; and yet not the Book's
Fault, but Yours, iu being so Partial to your Self, as to think
you can do Any Thing at the first Sight, without Practice or
Study; which would be a Miracle I never saw, or any Body
shall ever see.

In the same manner, if a Lutenist should Write a Rare
Book, Can you Expect, that as soon as you have Read it, you
can Play on the Lute; because, it may be, you can jangle the
Strings?

But you say, You can Ride: Truly, jnst as you JaDgle the
Lute-Strings, and no otherwise. You have learnt in Italy
and France; that's something indeed: So many Crowns a
Month, and the Horse did not Throw you. and that is all.

Mr. Spenser, the Best Scholar in all the Academy where he
Learned, and a fine Gentleman, who had been Two Years
there; when he came to Ride one of my Horses, he could not
make him Go: His Brother -in-Law being present, said to
me; My Lord, you must Excuse him, he hath not Rid a great
while. Bat Mr. Spenser said (with a great Oath) Brother,
you are Deceived; for I know now, I could never Ride.

God knows how many Young Gallants coma newly out of
Academies; Eoglish, FreDch, Irish, and Datch Gentlemen,
that are Famed for good Horse-men, and truly no Piece of a
Horseman, and Rid the Woefullest that could be; and so did
before me some Masters of Academies : And once two
French-mon Riding (God knows very meanly) were strangely
Langht at, and that very Worthily, by two other French
Riders that stood by.

But says One, I can Ride a Ready Horse; Wherein he is
Deceived; for a Ready Horse is the Hardest Gf all to Ride,
because the Least motion is an Absolute Command unto him,
and an Ignorant gives him such Counter-times, as he puts
him quite Oat.

Mr. Germain, a Fine Genlteman, and the Best Scholar Da
Pleffis bad in all his Academy, knew well the Difficulty of
Riding a Ready Horse: For, to Persuade him to Ride one of
Mine, which he would not Do; I told him, If you will but
Sit Still, I warrant you the Horse will go Well with you. Bat
a Man (said he, with a great Oath) cannot Sit Still. WThioh
was said Knowingly, and like a Horseman; fur, to Sit Still,
belongs only to a Great Master.

Another, because he hath Rid a Hundred Miles in a Day,
(which a Post-Boy can do) thinks Himself a Horse-man; or,
Because, he can Rnu a Match with his Groom, or Leap a
Ditch, or a Hedge, in Hunting, and Hold by the Main, he
thinks he is a Horse-man; but bis Hunts-Boy doth as much.
And my Lord Mayor when he goes to Weigh Butler, fits a
Leg of either side the Horse very Gravely; An excellent
HorBe-man! And I have seen many Wenches Ride Astride,
and Gallop, and Run their Horses, that could, I think, hardly
Ride a Horae Well in the Mannage.

Are they not, in All Trades, bound Apprentices Seven and
Nine Years; and many Bunglers of them too? And, in
Higher Professions, Twenty aud Thirty Years is not too
mnch, before they are Great Masters in any One of them:
And though Horse-manship be the Hardest of All, yet Many
a Gentlennu will Ride the First Day as well as the Greatest
Master; but he is Deceived, as well as those that think to
Bay, with their Money, any Quality: For if Good Qualities
conld be Purchased with Money, every Rich Citizen would be
a Fine Gentleman. Of which Opinion thvt French Cavalier
was not, who told me, commending my Method ; Par Dieu,

II est beiu hardi qui monte devant vons, that is, He is very

Bold, that dares Ride before you. And to the same Purpose,
Signor del Campo, an Italian Rider at Bruxels, after he had
seen my Horses, said ; II fatit tirer la Planche, that is, The
Bridge must be Drawn up; for to Horse-man, so good as
You, can come After.

There is no Horse-man but shall Make my Horses go, for
his Use, either in a Single Combat, or in the Wars, better
than he shall any bodies Horses else; and that's Sufficient:
for, to make them go in Perfection in all Ayres as I can, were
too much, and too great a Miracle: But let My Method be
what it will, since every Man doth what he can; if any Pleases
himself with his Own Opinions, though he Dislikes My Way
never so mnch, and should Censure a thing he Understands
not; and say, That the Mannage is a Foolish thing: It shall
not Displease me at all.

OBSERYATIONS
of
HORSES,
of the
SPANISH HORSE.
You must Know, that of All Horses iu the World, of what
Nation Boever they be. Spanish Horses are the Wisest; far the
Wisest, and strangely WiBe, beyond any Man's Imagination;
but I must Tell you, they are not the Easlier Drest for that:
Because they Observe too much with their Eyes, and their
Memories are too Good, and so Conclude with their Judg-
ments too sood, without the Man, Reckoning without
their Host; whereas they should Follow, and Obey, his
Hand and Heel; and that not by Roat neither, but by

50 The New Method"

Art, which is an Habir gor by many Lejfons Me-
thodically Taught.

If he be Well Cbofen, I affure you, He is the
Noblefl Horfe in the World : Firft, There is no
Horfe fo Curioiify Shaped, all over from Head to
Croup: He i? the mofr Beautiful that can be;
For he is not fo Tbm , and Lady - //% , as the
Barb- not (b Grofs as the Neapolitan; but be-
tween Both. He is of great Spirit, and of great
Courage, and Docil: Hath the Proudeft Wa\,
the Proudeft Trot, and Beft Atlion in his Trot;
the Loftieft Gallop, the Swifted Careen ; and is
the Lovingeft and Gentleft Horfe, and Fitteft for
a KING in a Day of TRIUMPH to Shew
himfelf to his People, or in the Head of an Army,
of any Horfe in the World,

Therefore no Horfe fo fit to Breed on, as a Spa-
nifb Horfe; either for the Mannage, the War, Am
bling foi the Fad; Hunting, or for Running-
Horfes : Conquerour was of a Spanifh Horfe,
Sbotten- Herring was of a Spanif) Horfe, Butler
was of a Spanifh Horfe, and Peacoc\ was of a
Spanifl} Mare : And Tbefe Beatt all the Horfes in

their

tbeir Time, so much, as Xo Horse ever Ran near them.

I say, He is Absolutely the best Stallion in the World, for
all those several things I have formerly Named, if yon rlo
Wisely appropriate snob Mares to him, as shall be li
Uses as you woold have yonr Breed; and so he is fi
Breeds, but to Breed Cart-Horses.

Feb. 9

At The Bay District-

Among the many stables now at the track, the one trained
by T. H°GriSen is as reoresentative as any. Horses of all
kinds and condition? are" to be found around the track, bat
Mr Griffin will only have tbe best, and consequently has a
"string" that is a credit to the well known Chicago driver.
A Breeder asd Spoktsman representative was shown the
various trotters in his stable a few days ago, the first being
the magnificently bred stallion Bine Gown, by Gus, he by
BelUouuder; first dam Jennie Noyes; second dam Molly
Patchen bv Geo. M. Patchen; third dam Kitty Hyde by Jack
Hawkio's "Beilfounder. This fine young colt haB a record of
'2:54} which was made some time ago, but he can beat that so
far now that it is only a question how low he will go in the
20's when he starts in his nest race.

Maywood, a very pretty son of Nutwood, dam a Patchen
mare, is showing a wonderful turn of speed, his record is
2:27}, but judicious work and careful handling has enabled
him to show much better in private trials.

Mr. W. C. Erban is the owner of an elegant light bay
called Concurd, by Conductor, who is low down in the
charmed circle. Concord i'j a very speedy horse, and is
already matched for one race, which will take place Washing
ton's birthday.

Still another son of Gas is a handsome brown stallion, five
years old, dam Jennie Nuyes, called Clinton, who has a rec-
ord of 2:27A. He is a tine graceful mover, and bar accident
should give a good account of himself this season.

Little Hope is a pacer, and has already competed in two
races, both of which were won easy. Little Hope 1b by Tem-
pest, dam by Wilson's Blue Bull, and has a record of 2:21|.
If a quarter that was shown is any criterion of Little Hope's
speed, he is almost able to travel with Adonis, Arrow or Y< lo
Maid.

Abbotsford Jr. is a very promising horse, and is the very
pictnre of his sire, Abbotsford; his dam is the Gillespie mare,
by Blue Bull. He has a record of 2:34i, which is no meas-
ure of his gait.

Mr. Griffen had a very beautiful Elector colt led out, with
the remark, "I think he is the best I have." He certainly
gives every indication of making a name for himself, as he
Beems tbe very pioture of a troiting horse. HiB dam is an
Alexander mare, he is five years old and called Edwin C.

Buttonhole may seem a strange name for a colt, but it per-
pctnates the name of the Button family, whioh is always dts-
irable in horse nomenclature. Buttonhole is a three-year-
old, by Alexander's button, 'the dam being a McClellan mare,
and can show quarters in 34 seconds.

Another very good looking colt is owned by Wm. D. Eng-
lish, Esq., and Mr. Griffen says he gives great promise of
turning out a very speedy youngster. He is by Albert W.
out of a well bred mare; Murray is a good son of that fast
old sire Dan Voohrees, and like his sire Iovob a fast brush
on the track. He is developing into a speedy horse and will
be a credit to the stable.

From Mr. Griffin's stable the reporter went over to the
stalls used by Mike McManns for Mr. Seale's horses, and was
shown some 'magnificent looking equines, most of them the
get of Elmo. Eogadine is a splendid specimen of the Elmo
lamily, the pretty cream color which usually distinguish the
Elmo stock being particularly marked in this caBe. Her firBt
dam was by The Moor, and the second by imp. Hercules.

Silver Threads is a five-year-old who can show better than
2:40 as he is to-day, and with the'necessary amount of work
can decrease that time materially. He is by Elmo, bis dam
being a full sister lo the dam of Overman, 2:1°£.

Atlas, another Elmo, is a beautiful type of that blood, stand-
ing 16 hands 3 inches, is a pretty sorrel and can show a 2,-45
gait. His dam waB Accident, a well known brood mare.

The b g Alfred S. is so well known that it is hardly neces-
sary to say more than that he is looking in splendid fettle,
and while his record is only 2:21, still he has shown a private
trial lately in 2:16^. Alfred S. is only sis years old and is
an improving horse; that he is Bpeedy hap been shown times
without number, and beyond question he will reduce his
record' many seconds this year.

A full sister to Alfred S. next commanded attention, and
drew out the admiraton of a little knot of horsemen who
were looking over the horses. She is an exact counterpart
of her brother and promises equal speed.

Bex is an Anteeocolt, dam-Accident, which as a four-year-
old trotted a mile in 2:25j, and with another year added to
bia age should beat that lime in 1889. Sunflower and Ko Ko
were the last of the stable lo be looked at and they showed
the same care had been bestowed on them as on the balance.
The latter i3 an Elmo, dam Orphan Girl, hy Black Hawk, and
with her companion Sunflower should show a very fast mile
double. Mr. McManns is one of the most prudent, careful
and reliable of drivers, and he will have his string in fine
form for the coming campaign.

Importation of Draught Horses.

The year 1888 will he remembered by everybody intereited
in the importation of draught horseB aB one of unusual activ-
ity and extensive trade to the importers of the United States.
These stout, well built, muscular horses have included alike
the heavy animals from Great Britain, from France, and
from Belgium. There is no one breed that will please all
alike, hence we have PercheronB and French draught horses
from France, Clydesdales from S.-otland, the Shires from
England, Belgian horses from Belgium and the coach hordes
from England and France.

Tbe increased importations noticed are the outcome of a
constantly Rrowiog demand for imported draught stallions.
Everywhere tbe demand for grade draught horses is becom-
ing an established feature of tbe horse trade. Not only are
theBe required for street car purposes, for heavy delivery
wagons, etc., in liirge cities, but our progressive farmers are
employing horseB for the heavy work on their farms that
combine tbe several desirable qualities of size, weight, endur-
ance and action.

Heretofore, our farmers, as a rule, have raised too many
small, inferior horses, horses unequal to the heavier work
of tbe farm, unattractive as carriage horses, and possessing
ftmall value when sent to the markets. The experience of
the past ten or twelve years appears to Indicate that tbe
grades of tbe various draught horses of Europe, as raised in
our own country, are just what are required. In any event
there is at the present time a sufficient home demand for
'hese grade draught hordes to encourage their increased pro-
duction.

The Northern Agriculturist calls attention to tbe fact that
the improved stuck breeders in England and France give
their attention- to breeding superior individual, and let tbe
color be what it will. In America many seek color first and
let the individual be what it nuy. At the International
ihow at Brussels the grand gold medal stallion (best of any
age or breed) was a dapple gray Belgian, and the gold medal

mare was a white Boulonnaic; and at the show in France the
whites and dapple grays won almost all the prizes, and con-
stituted over three-fourths of the horses in the draught

The Suffolks of England, one of the finest draught horses
in the world, breed true to color, tut the color, unfortunately,
is chestnut — not a fashionable color in America.

Items about the Turf-

It is not generally known that the turf in the United
StateB gives employment directly to 50,000 persons, one-half
cf them with families; that indirectly it assists 50,000 more
to a livelihood; that the thoroughbred stallions and brood
mareB on the great stock farms are valued at $6,000,000;
that the sons and daughters of those stallions and brood
mares earned more than S2,000,000 during the season ]ust
at an end; that the value of the Btock in training for racing
purposes is $7,000,000; that the capital invested in race
tracks and the Btables thereon or adjacent thereto is $6,000,-
000; that the stock farms embrace more than 140,000 acres of
the finest land in the country, the money worth of which
cannot be accurately estimated; that on tnese farms are
costly dwellings, finely laid out walks, commodious stables
and barns, and, in many inBtances, private race tracks; that
the attendance at the race course last year numbered
3,500,000; that the yearling sales ran well up to a million
dollars; that the rich prizes offered for tbe development of
the horse has led to as high a price as $40,000 for a yearling;
that Buch competition has sustained the value of the stock
farms; that the available land in Missouri, Kansas, California,
Kentucky, Tennessee, "West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Mary-
land, New Jersey, and other States, is constantly being pur-
chased for the establishment of stock farms, and that the
improvement of the horse has gone on to such an extent
that agents from European countries have been here to pur-
chase horses for cavalry purposeB. It is only a question of
time when we will be able to Bupply the world with horses,
and thiB good result will come about chiefly becaute of the
incentive to breeding given by the rich and representative
jockey clubs in offering great prizeB for the development of
speed and stamina.

The outside enterprises that are helped by the turf are
many. Tbe telegraph companies receive nearly a million a
year for sending reports of jockey club meetings, and trans-
acting other business in lelation to the doings of horses.
This gives employment to many expert telegraphers. The
printing and advertising of the clubs, tbe printing of cata-
logues by the breeders throughout the country, the pro-
grammes, book records, and printed classification of horses,
thoroughbred and otherwise, keeps 5,000 persona busy, and
cost a rouod sum of money. The railroads employ special
cars for the carrying of horses all over the country, aud in
addition carry more than 3,000,000 persons lo the races
during each year. Then there is the employment of farmers
for selling produce to the owners of thousands of horses,
and there are many other ways in which money is used to
give work to residents of many communities. — "Black and
Blue" in the "Mail and Express."

Friar Tuck and Greenback.

The interest manifested by tbe purchase of the above
mentioned horses by Mr. Gebhard, hue increased rather than
diminished, now that it is known these royally bred stallions
have arrived in California. The New £ork Spirit has the
following account of the two:

Greenback iB one of the grandest specimens of the blood
horse that we have seen among the imported horses of tbe
past fifteen years. He is thirteen years:old,Ja whole colored
brown, with broad, flat legs, great length and liberty, a fine
spread of hips, and every evidence ol great constitutional
and animal vigoi. About the bead and neck he is much of
the type of Stockwell, but bodily he is different, having
more of that trim quality of tbe Leamingtons, only more
substantial, Btraining probably to his grandsire, The Flying
Dutchman. He is like an eel as he moves about with a
quick, Binuous glide. He is a superbly coated horse, reflect-
ing a purple sheen, which blazes in the sunlight, and no one
would drtam that he had so recently left the ship. Green-
back's blood is as high as his conformation. He is a son of
the French horse Dollar, who was by Flying Dutchman, dam
Payment by Slave. Dollar's dam was the dam of Florin,
the Bire of Florentin, winner of the French Derby in 1866,
and of Mantilla tbe champion French two-year-old of 1878.
Dollar's merit as a sire is famouB, aB he got Salvator, St.
Cyr, Perla, Almanza, Nethau, Fontainbleau, Salvanos,
Torren, and Androcles. One of his daughters, Nellie James,
produced Jack of Hearts, Jacobus, etc,, in Mr. Belmont's
stud. Salvator won the Grand Prix de Paris and French
Derby in 1876, and Salvanos won the Cesarewitch in 1872
On the side of his dam Greenback is glorious. HiB dam wbb
the Duke of Hamilton's great mare, Music, tbe best brood-
mare in Europe. She has foaled Ossian, Fiddler, Song,
Songstress, Nina, Poetry, etc., Nina being one of the best
two-year-olds of 1S87, winning the Ciearwell, Bretby and
Homebred. As for OeBian, Bhe won the St. Leger, while
Fiddler beat Foxhall for the Alexandria Plate. Music is a
daughter of Stockwell, from the invincible One Act, by
Annandale; 3d dam Extravaganza, by Voltaire, etc., gives
Greenback an infuBion of Blacklock blood. Greenback was
a really good race horse, winning the Sketchworth Stakes at
Newmarket, as a two-year-old, and the Earl Spencer Plate at
Northampton, as a tbree-year-old. The Peel Handicap, the
Queen's Plate at Ayr, and tbe Caledonian Cup, at the same
place, also fell to his share. He haB got several winners,
having Bired Greenlight, Greenjacket, Greenshank, Green-
wave, Greenhorn, etc. He is the only direct representative
of Bay Middleton's male line in America, and will be a grand
outcross for our native mares.

Friar Tuck is one of the most fashionably bred horses that
baB been imported. The fact that he is by Hermit, who for
ten years bun proved the beat sire in England, Bhonld alone
render him valuable, as Hermit has Bired two winners of tbe
Derby in Shotever and St. Blaise; two winners of the Oaks
in Thebais and Lonely, and such eminent performers as ■ t.
Marguerite, Peter, Candlemas, St. Louis, Retreit, Charon,
Queen Adelaide, St. Mirin, Clairvaux and Friar's Balsam.
The Hermit sires are very fashionable at present in England.
There are only three in this country, St. Blaise, Mr. Pick-
wick and Stylites.

Like all the Hermits, Friar Tuck was a very sound horse,
and ran until six years old and won a great many races (Bee
calendar). His breeding on his dam's side is very rich. His
dam, Romping Girl, was a slashing race-mare, and ran third
to those famous fillies Hippia and Achievement in the Oaks
of 1867, and as a four-year-old she won the Shrewsbury Cup.
In the Btud she foaled Abelard, Rampage, LancaBter, Merry
Monk and Fair Barbarian (now in Mr. Belmont's Btnd in
Keutocky). It will be noticed that Friar Tuck's fifth dam is
the immortal Queen of TrumpB, winner of the Oaks and

St. Leger of 1835. and one of the greatest mares that ever
lived. Millgreen, by Friar Tuck, was a winner last year.
Friar Tuck's sister Flirt is the dam of Senator Hearst's filly
Gorgo.

Queen Mary and her Family in England and
America.

Not even Persepoles, Pocahontas and Mandane excepted.
Queen Mary (rAnson's) may be regarded as the most re-
markable thoroughbred the world has ever produced, says a
writer in the St. Louis "Republic." Thomas Taunton, one
of the latest as well as greatest of English turf writers, in
bpeaking of this wonderful animal, entirely ignores the im-
press she has made upon the American turf. Evidently he
does not consider tbe magnitude and importance of racing
interests in the States, or he is not aware that were tbe direct
descendants of Queen Mary blotted from the American stud-
books, that the number of strictly first-class American horses
would perhapB be reduced by nearly one-half. It seems un-
accountable that a man of Taunton's admitted accuracy aud
research, after assigning the old mare, very properly, too, a
first rank among English celebrities, Bhonld entirely overlook
her commanding position on this side. He gives great
prominence to Haricot and Blink Bonnie, the distinguished
daughters of Queen Mary, but with the merest mention dis-
misses Bonnie Scotland, her son, and greatest family repre-
sentative in the United States, than whom the name of no
horse is recorded more often in the annals of the turf. All
this causes the belief that very few people fully reolize the
singular and coincidental importance ot Queen Mary on both
sides of the sea.

And yet it is safe to say that while great in EnglaDd she is
equally great in America. For at the same time that all Eng-
land were applauding the Derby winner, Silvio, the great
grandson of Queen Mary, tbe American turf were doing the
same thing for her grandsons, Bramble, the great cup horse,
and tbe little four-mile winner, Bushwhacker, on this side of
the world. Certainly Queen Mary is equally to be honored
in this country, unless we are willing to admit the superior-
ity of Blink Bonnie. Blair Athol, Caller On and Silvio over
our own great horses. Luke Blackburn, Hanover, Glidelia
and the more modern luminary, Proctor Knott, all of whom
trace briefly back to the Queen.

Many turfmen not yet in "the sere and yellow leaf," may
recall the days wheu Queen Mary was a frolicsome filly of two
years, and yet at this writing her descendants are legion,
their names printed on hundreds of pages in the stud books.
In both England and America at almost every sale of thor-
oughbreds tbe name of Queen Mary ('1 Anson's) in a pedigree
acts like magic in elevating prices. It is noticeable, too, that
mares begotten by Bonnie Scoiland or Glen Athol in any
auction wbatsomever are almost sure to fetch the highest
prices.

Queen Mary was a bay in color, with a broad whitste ripe
in her face. Her pictures show her to be swaybacfc.ed pot-
bellied and anything but beautiful. She started in but one
race. This was at Chester, England. This race was won by
the Princess Alice, who, on that day, would have sold readily
for 1,000 guineas; while Queen Mary, who did not get a
place, changed hands a few months afterwards, as a rank
failure, for less than £100. Through this single purchase
Mr. r Anson became one of the three wealthiest trainers in
the British Empire. Qaeen Mary became famous, while the
Princess Alice is only known in the record that "she won the
race in which Queen Mary ran.-' Singular irony of fate!
Qaeen Mary's noted children are Haricot, Braxey, Brcomie-
law, Bonnie Belle, Blinkhoolie, Blink Bonnie, and last but
not least to be mentioned, our own Bonnie Scotlind. Blink
Bonnie, we suppose, must be regarded as the greatest of the
lot. As a racer, no doubt, she was, for she had transcendent
merits and opportunities of which she made the fullest use.
As a dam it would be impossible for her to outclass Bonnie
Scotland as a sire. What her son Blair Athol has done for
England, Bonnie Scotland has accomplished for the United
States.

Blink Bonnie won the English Derby in 1857. Just seven
years afterwards all England went wild over the popular
Derbj victory of her son, the beautiful Blair Athol, who, in
the sam6 year, also was first paBt the post in the great St.
Leger. Silvio, the great-grandson of Queen Mary, won the
Derby in 1877. And thus the renown of the old mare des-
cends on down through the ages. In America the descend-
ants of Queen Mary through Glen Athol and more especially
Bonnie Scotland rank first in quantity and quality.

Bonnie Scotland's life reads like a romance. It is said,
that when he was at Queen Mary's side, the pair were aban-
doned on the Scottish moors to die; and that but for the
timely success of Haricot on the turf such would have un-
doubtedly beeo the fate of the American premier. In America,
Bjnnie Scotland's lines were for years cast in unpleasant ana
unprofitable places until be was wisely set by the late Gen.
Harding at the head of Bel e Meade with the result familiar
to all horsedom, aud where he became tbe sire of more than
a score of famous race horses including, besi les those already
meutionod, such celebrities as George Kiuney, Aranzi,
Brambaletta, Bancroft and that popular norse, old Boot-
Jack.

On Tracks.

There is probably no State in thR Union in which so many
horses rre knocked out or get ''legs" on them, as iu Califor-
nia. As a rule tbe trainer gets all the blame, when in reality,
in nine cases out of ten, the track is to blame. The pro-
longed summer or rainless months, the necessarily continued
sprinkling (which does not sink an inch deep) and the unceas-
ing tramping whilst in a moist condition, causea a hard crust
to form immediately beneath the surface dirt, which, though
softened by the rains in winter, becomes a dense crust aguin
as soon as tbe sun shines long enough onit to allow of horses
working. We believe it would be an excellent plan for track
managers to plow ooe-half the width of their tracks early in
the winter, and sow with rye and clover; plow this under
when a foot or eighteen inobes high, and the next winter do
the same with tbe other half. Possibly our trainers wonld
not knock out so many hors6S, and the development of a
trotter would not be so risky and expensive a luxury.

Matt Storn and D.J. McCarty have visited Saoramento
this week to look after their interests at the race track there.
Both gentlemen report their horses in good condition, and
although Mr. McCarty said there was nothing new to report,
I can tell him that Sorrento haB filled ont wonderfully aud
grown considerably in size since last year. In fact, my cor-
respondent tbere seems to think that the noble son of Joe
Hooker will be either first or second for tbe American Derby,
and I want to whisper to Matt Storn that his four-year-old
Joe Hooker filly is going to be a speedier animal than Grover
Cleveland, or appearances are very deceptive.

Points on Breeding.

Mr. William Day, in his recently published book, "The
Horse; how to breed and rear him." haB the following:
"Don't breed from bad tempered animals of either sex, or
from those afflicted with hereditary diseases, rearing in par-
ticular! No mare should, under auy circumstances, be put
to an inferior eire, and little mares are the best to breed
from, provided they bave substance, Btand well on their
legs, and have good hocks and knees. Little stallions, with
mares suited to them, get good stock and much better than
moBt large horses. Relationship to good performers is even
of greater importance than extraordinary excellence in the
mare herself; and both sire and dam should stand well on
th*)ir legs. Consider carefully the external form of the mare,
the relation of her different parts to each other, her capabili-
ties, so far as known, and above all, her breeding and that
of her ancestors; then, select a stallion on the same careful
system, and you may expect, and most likely would have, a
foal possessing in many ways the desirable qualities of its
parents, and, perhaps, surpassing them in speed and endur-
ance.''

Now then, who wants to buy the two fastest short distance
horses in the State? Dave Winders writes me from Stockton
that Cyclone and Lida Ferguson are in the market, and can
be bought cheap. Hazlitt or Babb should buy them.

Rarus and Jimmy.

The following is from John Splan b book, "Life With the
Trotters," to be issued this month: But to return to Rarus
and his sale. After leaving the horse in the stable Mr. Conk-
lin, Mr. Simmons, Mr. David Bonner and myself adjourned
to the Hoffman House, where the money was paid over to
Mr. Conklin. I told Mr. David Bonner that I had left all of
Rams' effects, wagons, etc., at the stable with him, with the
exception of one pair of blankets that I had promised Mr.
Conklin, and wished he would say to Mr. Robert Bonner that
he was entitled to them all, but that if he did cot wish to
keep them he could send me word and I would come and
take thein away. The next day I received a note from Mr.
Bobert Bonner asking me to call at his office, which I did.
He thanked me for my attention in sending him Rarus' traps,
told me he would be glad to keep them, and insisted on giv-
ing me an order to duplicate them new from a shop at his
expense. This I declined to accept, for the reason that I
believed any man who had given 536,000 for a horse was
entitled to his belongings, and so said. Mr. Bonner told me
that he should send Rarns to Mb farm In a day or two, and
invited me up there to see Rarus in his new home. I
accepted the invitation, and the pleasing remembrance of
that day, and the valuable hints that I received in the way
of training horses are still fresh in my mind. I there took
my last ride behind Rarus, driving him a mile in 2:16J over
Mr. Bonner's track, and left him with feelings of regret.

I now come to what might be termed the personal history
of Rarus, and while it seems to me that his career ?n my
hands had been at the least fairly successful, I feel like taking
but a small pait of the credit for his success to myself. First
and foremost, he was a grand horse when he came into my
hands, and his owner, Mr. Conklin, was a man that I think
the owner of any trotting-horse could well pattern after. In
the first place he had what people would call a good deal of
horse sense. In the second place, when he gave his horse to
me to drive his contract extended for four months. At the
end of that time he renewed his contract with me, and said to
me, "Splan, as long as I own Rarus he is your horse to do
with in every way, shape or manner as you see fit. No one
shall ever criticise you or your actions to me. I will do
nothing in connection with the horBe without your free will
and consent. Take your time, and do what you can with
him, whether it be in one, two, three or four years. The
greatest pleasure that I could have with that horse would be
to see him beat the best recoid." When he told rr»e that I
knew and believed that he meant exactly what he said. Few
people imagine how the trainers of horses are annoyed by
outsiders running to owners and criticising the actions of
the drivers. It is an easy matter for a gentleman who never
drove a trotter a Btep in his life, and who never did more
than to sit up in the grand-stand in a shady place, to say to
the owner of a horse how his driver should handle him, but
if that same critic were asked to drive in a race he would
have to be tied in the sulky in order to insure his appearance
when the horse came under the wire. If I migut be per-
mitted here to give a little advice to owners, it would be. If
you get a trotter, piok out the man you think 1b the best
driver and trainer in the world, give him your horse, and
treat him as Mr. Conklin did me, and if you do not get that
man's beBt efforts I will be more mistaken than I have been
in horse-racing matters in a long while.

In disposition Rams was a brave horse, not much inclined
to be affeotionate, but at the same time not a vicious animal.
I never saw any one that he seemed very fond of except Mr.
Conklin, Dave and the dog Jinnay, without som6 mention of
whom no history of Rarus would be complete. This dog
waB a Scotch terrier that was presented to me in Cleveland
when he waB a youngster about two months old. I look him
to the track and gave him to Dave, who advised that he be
put in RaruB' stable. I cautioned Dave about the pup, as I
bad seeu Rarus make the fur fly from one or two dogs, and
told him that he might not have any dog unless he put him
in a safe place. In a few days I asked about him, and he told
me that Rarus and the dog[had got to be great friends. That
appeared rather strange to me, while I bad always treated
Rams very kindly he was never disposed to make friends
with me. Tn appearance this dog was a small, wiry-haired
terrier weighing about fifteen pounds.and possessed of[almost
human intelligence. The admiration and love that this dog
and the horse had for each other equaled anything that 1
have ever seen in the human family. Not only were they
extremeiv fond of each other, but they showed their affec-
tion plainly as did ever a man for a woman. We never took
any pains to teaoh the dog anything about the horse. Every-
thing he knew came to him by his own patience. From the
time I took him to the stable a pup until I sold RaruB they
were never separated an hour. We once left the dog in the
stall while we took the horse to the blacksmith Bhop, and
when we came back we found he had made havoc with every-
thing there was in there, in trying to get out, while the horse
during the entire journey was uneasy, restless, and in gen-
eral acted as bad as the dog did. Dave remarked that he
thought we had better keep the horse and dog together after
that. When Rarus went to the track to work or trot the dog
would follow Dave around and sit by the gate at his side,
watching Rarus with as much interest as Dave did. When
the horse returned to the stable after a heat and was uncheck-
ed the dog would walk up and climb up on his forward legs
and kiss him, the horse always bending his head down to
receive his caress. In the stable, after work was over, Jim
and the horse would often frolic like two boys. If the horse
laid down Jim would climb on his back, and in that way
learned to ride him, and whenever I led Rarus out to
show him to the public Jim invariably knew what it
meant, and enhanced the value of the performance
by the manner in which he would get on the horse's
back. On these occasions the horse was shown to
halter, and Jimmy, who had learned to distinguish such
events from those in which the sulky was used, would follow
Barney and Rarus out on the quarter stretch, and then,
when the halt was made in front of the grand stand Barney
would bIood down, and in a flash Jimmy would leap on the
horse's back, and there he woald stand, his head high in the
air and his tail out stiff, barking furiously at the people.
He seemed to know that he was as muoh a part of the show
as the horses, and apparently took great delight in attracting
attention to himself. I had several tempting offers for Jim in
the way of cash, but s-uch a thing aB parting with him never
entered my mind. When Rarus was sold to Mr. Bonner Jim-
my was not included in the bill of sale, bnt I felt that Rarns
belonged to Jimmy and Jimmy to Rams. After they both
became the property of Mr. Bonner the affection of the dog
and the horse for each other never abated, and this was well
illustrated on one occasion. In Mr. Bonner's down-town
stabln was a bull terrier, a rather Bavage fellow, who bad the
run of the place and naturally wanted to be boss. Jimmy,
who was brave to a fault, attacked the bull terrier one day,
and the result was that he was soon knocked out. When
his yelpB reached Rarus, whose stall was adjacent, the old

horse made a break for the center of the barn, and had he
rot been restrained would have made short work of the boll
dog. Mr. Bonner waB much impressed with this incident,
and afterward related it to the writer as evidence of how
strong the bond of affection between these two animals waB.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: Mr. Rose seems to have
inferred from a previous commnication of mine that I was
opposed to a meeting for the purpose of arranging circuit
dates, On the contrary, in the interest of the stock and fruit
exhibitors generally, as well as of the horsemen, I should
favor and encourage the holding of such meeting, provided
the State Fair management agreed to respect the interests
and desires of other districts beside their owu, and to be gov-
erned accordingly in resetting their dates, if necessary, for
the general benefit of the circuit.

For Mr. Shippee (or his successor, Mr. Green) to call a
meeting of district representatives to arrange the circuit, and
upon their assembling to inform them (as was done last year)
"Gentlemen, our dates have been selected, you may get in
front of or behind us, but, in order that you may, as far as
practicable, avoid stepping on each others toes (ours are safe),
we have been pleased to call you together at a 'great deal of
expense,1 please to arrange your circuit, gentlemen, but don't
forget that our dates have been selected and will not be
changed, gentlemen", were, as I said in my la3t, to render
futile the purposes of the proposed meeting.

No Distiict Fair, outside of such large places as Stockton,
Oakland and Los Angeles could possibly afford to hang up
the large purses that the extra quality, speed, and value of
our trotting and running horses now call for, if required to
succeed Sacramento in its dates.

At the two week's meeting there, or, at most, at the fair
next following, pretty much every horse would be accurately
sized up, and, as a consequence, the betting at the succeeding
fairs would not amount to a hill cf beans.

Hence the indisposition on the part of District Fairs to fol-
low Sacramento.

The reason I have given above does not apply to the bet-
ting at Sacramento, because the followers of the "regular"
circuit are there met by a large number of horses (more or
less "unknown" quantities) that come from Yolo, Marysville,
Grass Valley, Fresno, Los AngeleB, San Joaquin, and other
districts.

Now if the Sacramento Fair opens on Sept. 9th, and is pre-
ceded by all of the "old" circuit fairs (Stockton, Los Angles,
Oakland, Petaluma, Santa Rosa, Napa and San Jose), some
one of these would require to open its gates on July 22nd, a
date much too early to have the majority of our horses, and
especially our studs, in shape for a -'bruising' race, and who
cares to see, or much less to hang up, a big purse for any
other? And what breeder would wish to risk a valuable
stallion in a "bruising" race at so early a date after the
lamentable experience in stallion races early last seaBon?

Again, I repeat, if the State Fair authorities, who have
already fixed their dates, will agree to alter the same, if nec-
essary to the interests of the whole circuit, I believe much
benefit might be accomplished by holding the proposed meet-
ing. If they will not do bo then I would Buggest that a meet-
ing of the San Diego, Los Angles, Santa Clara, Oakland,
Marin and Sonoma, Santa Rosa. Sau Joaquin and Napa asso-
ciations be called for conference at San Francisco, to tak9
such action as may best subserve their interests and those
of their patrons. A note from Mr. Rose or Sec. De Camp
fixing the date, hour and place would undoubtedly be suffi-
cient to insure a representative meeting.

Continued from Page 81.

The King of Spain hath many Races, but his Best is at
Cordoba in Andalozia, where he hath above Three Hundred
Mares and Colts, as my Lord Cottington told me; and,
besides those of his Majesty, there are other most Excellent
Races, not only of Noblemen, but also of Private Gentlenien.

For'the Prices, the Earl of Claringdon, now Lord Chancellor
of England, told Me, That when he was Embassador in
Spain, Sir Benjamin Wright, a Merchant there that Loves
Horses, sold a Couple of Little Spanish Horses for a Great
Price: And he says (and many others Confirm it for a great
Truth) That Three Hundred, and Four Hundred Pistols for
a Horse, is a common Price and Rate, at Madrid; And the
Marquess of Seralvo told me, That a Spanish HorBe. called
II Bravo, sent to the Arch-Duke Leopcld, his Master, was
held Worth as much as a Maonor of a Thcasand Crowns a
Year, and that he bath known Horses at Seven Hundred,
Eight Hundred, and a Thousand Pistols.

A Gentleman told me, that he knew a Cavalier in Spain,
who offered another Three Hundred Pistols, but to let him
Ride his Horse one Afternoon; and the Owner had reason to
Refuse it: for it was to go to the Juego de Toros, where he
might have been Killed: many of the Finest Horses in the
World being Killed at that Sport, which is the greatest Pity
that can be.

You see that a Spanish Horse is Dear Ware; and then
Reckon his Journey from Andalozia to Bilbo, or St. Sebastien,
which is the next Port for Eogland, and is Four Hundred
Miles at least; and a Horse cannot Travel above Ten Miles a
day with your Groom, and your Farrier at least, besides the
Casualty of Lameness, Sickness, and Death; so that if he
come Safe to yon, yet he will be a very Dear Horse, I assure
yon: And These are great Truths of the Spanish Horse.

Of the BARB.

The Barb is next to the Spanish Horse for Wisdom, but
r.ot near so wise, and that makes him much Easier to be
Drest: Besides, he is of a Gentle Nature, Docil, Nervous,
and Light.

He is as Fine a Horse as can be, but somewhat Slender,
find a little Lady-like; and is so Lazy and Negligent in his
Walk, as he will" Stumble in a Bowling-Green; he Trots like
a Cow, and Gallops Low, and no Action in any of those
Actions: But commonly he is Sinewy, and Nervous, and
hath a clean Strength, is excellently Winded, and good at
Length, to Endure great Travel; and very Apt to Learn, and
Eapy to be Drest, being (for the most part) of a good Disposi-
tion, excellent Apprehension, Judgment, and Memory; and
when he is Searcnt, and Wakened, no Horse in the World
goes Better in the Maunage, in all Ayres whatsoever, and
Rarely upon the Ground in all Kinds.

The Mountain-Barbs, they say, are the Best; I believe they
are the Largest, but, for my part, I rather desire a Midline
Horse, or a Less Horse, which are Cheap enough in Barbery,
as I have been Informed, both by many Gentlemen, and
many Merchants; for they say, that in Barbery you may Buy
a very Fine Barb for Twenty, Twenty-Five or Thirty Pounds
at the most: but then your Journey is somewhat Great; not
by Sea; for, from Tnris, to Marselles in France, is no great
Voyage; but from Marsefles to Calais by Land, you go all tne
Length of France, and at Calais they are Shipt for England.
You must have an excellent Esquier, a Farrier, and one
Groom, and Hire other Grooms as you Go; but take heed,
That those Mean Rogues Run not Away with some of your
Horses; and because there is no Trusting of them, your
English Farrier, and your English Groom, must always Lie
in the Stable, and none of those Fellows; but the Gentleman
of your horse, which ought to be a Good Horse-man, must
order that Carefully.

If you would go another Way to work, and a Shorter Voy-
age, then send into Languedoc, and Provence, where many
Gentlemen Buy Barbs of two, three, and four Years old at
MarBelles, and Keep them two or three Years, and then Sell
them; which Barbs you may Buy for Forty or Fifty Pistols a
Piece, and as Fine Horses as can be: But he whom you
Send, must be very Skilful to chuse well, and to take heed
that They be Right Barbs; For I have Heard, that many in.
those Countries, about Marselles, when many Barbs come
out of Barbery, thrust in Colts of their own Breed amongst
them for Barbs, and bo sell them.

When I was at Paris, there came Twenty-Five Barbs (as
they said) nothing but Skin and Bones, ana thty were Sold
for Twenty-Five Pistols a Horse: My Lord Viscount Moun-
tague bought Nine, as I Remember; for I was with him, and
helpt to ohuse some for him, and one of them did Win Many
Matches: But truly, if I had had a Million, I would not
have Bought one of them, for they were very Ordinary
Horses; Nor do 1 think they were Right Barbs, neither by
their Shape, nor Price, but Bred in some Islands thereabouts;
for, if a Man be at Great Charges, I would either have an
Extraordinary Horse, or None.

I had lately a Letter from a Horse-man at Paris, a French-
Man, that gives me Intelligence of Horses, That a Merchant
at Paris had two Barbs, the Finest that ever he Baw, Six
Years old a piece, but not Drest at all, and held tbem at Two
Hundred Pistols a piece: By which, you may Bee, that Right
Barbs, and Fine ones, are very Dear, as all Good Things
are.

The Barb is not so fit a Horse for a Stallion for the Man-
nage, as for Running-HorBes; for he Gets Long and Loose
Horses, therefore do not Breed of him tor the Mannage,
except he be a Short Horse from the Head to the Croup,
strong Rnmase, and Racoursy, and of a Superfluity of Spirit,
whioh few Barbs have; and therefore Breed of a Spanish
Horse, with Choice English Mares; and if you have a Delicate
well-ohasen Dutch Mare or two, that makes an excellent
Composition for the Mannage.

I am of Opinion, and Believe, that there never came out of
Barbery, The best Horses that Country affords; not but that
they may be had: But the Case is this; Those that bring
Barbs out of Barbery, are either French Horse-Coursers that
Trade in Barbery, or Merchants.

To begin with the Horse-Coursers, They always Buy those
Horses that are Cheapest for their Advantage: For if they
Bought of Great Prices, it wonld not quit Cost, and bo they
Buy the Worst, and Meanest, of BarbB: And bo for the Mer-
chants, They w*nt Skill; Besides, they will Buy the Cheap
est too, for their Advantage, because they know not
Well, how to put off HorseB of Price; and bo they Buy but
the Worst and Meanest of Barbs; which makes me Believe
absolutely, that the Best Barbs do not come Over: For, did
not I see daily at Antwerp the Horse-Conrsersof Brabant and
""landers, that go into England every Year to Bny Horses,
that they bring Over the Meanest and Worst Hordes and
Geldings that are in the Kingdom, and merely to Buy at
Easy Rates, that they may put thorn Off with Advantage?
For, if they Hhould Buy in EugWnd Horses of One Humlred,
I >ue Hundred nnd Fifty, and Two Hundred Pound* a Horse.
which Price hath been Given both at Multtn and Pankrich
Fayres, those Great Prices would not gooff there, where

Money is so Scarce; and so they wonld be Undone; and
therefore they Buy of Small Prices.

Of The
ENGLISH HOR3E.

The English Horse is Less Wise than the Barb, Fearful and
Skittish, for the most part; and Dogged and Rebellions to
the Mannage, and not commonly so Apt to Learn: But
those they call English Horses, are so Compounded of Horses
of all Countries, that they always Participate something of
their SireB; and so, that may Bomewhat alter the Case.

Certainly English Horses are the Best Horses in the whole
World for All Uses whatsoever, from the Cart to the Man-
nage, and some are as Beautiful Horses as can be anywhere,
for they a*e Bred out of all the Horses of all Natons: But
if you would Buy for the Mannage at Fairs, you must go to
Rowel Fair, Harborow Fair, and Melton Fair, to Northamp-
ton and Leicestershire; but Noithampton, they say, is the
Best.

You must Buy such Horses as they Sell, for the Cart and
Coach, which are the best for the Mannage: Do not think
to Buy Delicate Shapt Horses, like the Spanish Horse, Barb,
or Turk; but they are Handsomer Horses than commonly
Dutch Horses are; Chuse a Short trust Horse, with Good
Feet and Legs, full of Spirit and Action, and Lively; and if
he Leap of himself, so much the Better. If your Horse-man
hath Skill to Buy you such, they cannot do Amiss for the
Mannage, and will prove most Admirable Horses, both in all
Ayres, and upon the Ground, but I would not Breed of them
by no means.

At Molten Fair, for the most part, they are young Stone-
Horses, and some Geldings, but litter for the Pad J, and
Huntiug, than for the Mannage; Rippon Fair is but the
Remnant of Molten Fair, and commonly but Geldings and
Nags; those Fairs are in York-shire; Lenton Fair is in Not-
tingham-shire, and is a great Fair of all Sorts of Horses, but
especially Geldings and Nags, Fitter for the Padd, and Gal-
loping, than for the Mannage; yon may also find some Stone-
Horses there.

In Stafforn-shire there is a great Fair at Pankridge; but it
is, for the most pare, of Colts, and Young Horses, though
sometimes (by chance) there are also others. The other
Fairs in the Northern Parts, which are many, ere not Worth
naming.

I am very Ignorant of the West Country, where my Lord
Paulett's Ancestors had a good Breed of Horses; and by
Chance, now and then my Lord of Pembroke did Breed, but
I never heard of any Rare Horses of his Race.

In Worcestershire, and in the Vale of Esam, there is good
Strong Cart-Horses; in Cornwall there is good Nags, and in
Wales excellent good Ones; but in Scotland the GallawayeB
are the Best Nags of them all.

There were, afore the Wars, many good Races in England,
but they are all now Ruined; and the many new Breeders of
Horses come up presently after the Wars, are (I doubt) none
of the Best; for, I believe, their stallions were not very Pure,
because the men that did Govern in Those Days, were not so
Curious as the Great Lords, and Great Gentry were Hereto-
fore, neither would they be at the Cost; and besides, they
have not Knowledge of Horses as in other Countries: For,
though Every man Pretends to it, yet, I assure you, there
are very Few that Know Horses, as I have heard the KING
say: Since whose RES1AURATION, the Probability of get-
ting Good Breeds again, iB very Great.

For English Mares, there are None like them in the World
to Breed on; but then you must Chuse them fit for snch
Horses as yon would Breed; As for Example, If you would
Breed for the Mannage, the Mares must have Fine Fore-
hands, but not too Long Necks; Fine Headp, and well Hung
On; and their Necks rightly Turn'd; Broad Brests, Good
Eyes; and Great Bodies, that the Foals may have the mow
Room to Lay in. They must have Good Hoofs, short and
bending Pastorns, and are to be Short from the Head to the
Croup, and Stuffy. This Shape fits the Mannage Best; and
if your Mares be thus Chosen, it makes no matter what Color
they are of, nor what Marks they have, nor what Tails and
Manes, so they be full of Strength, and a superfluity of Spirit,
and not above Six or Seven Years Old. But I must Tell you,
That if you had Two or Three fine Dutch Mares, Shaped as
I formerly told you, it Makes a tine Composition with a
Spanish Horse for the Mannage, and a Spanish Horse with
such English Mares as I have Told you Now, are not only
for the Mannage, but in a manner for all Uses.

If you would hive Mares to Breed Running-Horses of,
then they must be Shaped thus; As Light as possible, Large
and Long, but well Shaped; a Short Back, but Long Sides,
and a little Long- Legged; their Breast as Narrow as may be,
for so they will Gallop the Lighter and Nimbler, and Run the
Faster; for the Lighter and Thinner you Breed for Galloping
is the Better. Your Stallion, by any means, must be a Barb,
and somewhat of the Shape that I have Described the Mares
to be of: For a Barb that is a Jade, will Get a better Run-
ning-Horse, than the Best Running-Horse in England: As
Sir John Fennick told me, who had more Experience of Run-
ning-Horses than any Man in England; for he had more Rare
Running-Horses than all England besides; and the most part
of all the Famous Running-Horses in England that Ran one
Against another, were of his Race and Breed.

Some Commend the Turk very much for a Stallion to
Breed Running-Horses; but they are bo Scarce, and Rare,
that I can give no Judgment of them: And therefore I
Advise you to the Barb, which, I believe, is much the Better
Horse to Breed Running-HorseB.

Horses for the BaBt.

The car load of hoises which started on its long jour-
ney Saturday last was a notable collection. There were
twelve in all, every stall in the car having an occupant.
Auteeo, Antevolo, Arab and Nerval being the "aged
division, Sultan S- by Saltan from a sister to A. Rose,
four >ears old, a colt by Kentucky Prince from a mare
by McClellan, three years old, a two-year-old filly by
Anteeu, an own sister to the fast colt Redwood, Leon
three years oIg, by Electioneer, from Lina R, by Don
Victor, a brown yearling by Norval, a bay filly by
Wooduut, and Eortuna by Florida, three years old.

As has been heretofore stated, Anteeo goes to Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, where he will make the season, Antevolo
to Robert Steele of Philadelphia, Arab has been purchased
by a gentleman in Boston, and Leon was bought for a
breeder in Natick, Mass. A thoroughbred by Red Boy
from Lady Prewitt completed the dozen.

Veterinary.

The bill to regulate the practice of veterinary medi-
cine and surgery, now before the Legislature, will,
should it become a law, be of great service to the pro-
fession in California. And also to horse owners, and a
boon to the poor animals which are made to suffer acute
torments under the hands of men who have no knowledge
of the business they profess to understand, and sense in
like measure with their acquirments.

At the best, incapable men will hang out their signs
as "horse doctors," but with this law in force the" ranks
will be so diminished that competent practitioners will
find a reasonable compensation for their time, and the
long coarse of study necessary to fit them for their pro-
fession.

The bill on the whole is good, the only section we
would change is that which imposes a license of §100 a
month on itinerant vendors of horse medicines.

There are some preparations which are of service, and
we find that it is very handy to have "lotions" on hand
with which to treat slight ailments. Why it should be
any worse to sell these from a peddling wagon than
from the shelves of a store is not easily understood, or
that one form should be placed under absolute restriction
while another is legal without extra taxation, is not
apparent.

Taken as a whole, however, great good will follow the
passage of the bill, and we sincerely hope that it will
become a law during this session of the Legislature.

A copy of the Act will be found on another page.

Queer }deas.

Some days before the carload of horses alluded to
elsewhere were to start on their journey, the man who
was in charge gave directions in regard to Antevolo
which were an exemplification of the difficulty there is
in overcoming old notions. He told the man who baa
taken care of him from colthood, or rather babyhood,
that he must give him a big bran mash every night, and
plenty of green feed. He was informed that he never
eat a mash in his life, and with the exception of sou e
green sweet corn blades when these could be obtained,
an occasional apple or piece of a carrot, his food was
confined to the best hay and oats that could be pur-
chased, the preference being for bay made from wheat.
He was never sick an hour in his life, never had a cough
which could be called indicative of a cold, and though
never having worn a blanket, his coat had the luster of
vigorous health in the coldest time of a California
winter. His bowels were never out of order, and the
faeces such as denoted that his digestive organs were al-
ways working in the beat manner. As there was not a
eupfull of bran in the stable, the order for "hot msahes"
could not be carried out, and had we been present, the
opportunity would have been taken to inquire the reasons
which governed him in his request.

A bran mash each night for three consecutive nights
would have been very apt to cause laxity of the bowels,
the excitement attending on his first railway journey for
nearly three years likely to change leoseness into purg-
ing, and as constipation is nearly sure to follow the
clearing of the stomach and intestines, when caused by
the irritation (mechanical action) of the sharp, silicious
covering of wheat kernels, by the time Chicago was
reached fever would have stood a good show to supervene.

We have discarded the use of mashes entirely, and
for many ' years have depended on ether methods of
loosening the bowels. Prairie hay, especially that cut
from the hills and rolling lands, has a tendency to con-
stipate, and even the cultivated grasses of the East are
not so effective in regulating the excrements as the kind
used in California. Wheat, cut at the right time and
cured properly, is our favorite forage for horses, either
when in training or for broodmares and colts. The
latter may be fed alfalfa hay, with favorable results, —
at least the limited trial we have given it has led to a
belief in its efficacy.

In all the years we have owned horses, our past ex-
perience in California has given still greater confidenc6
in dispensing with mashes, and for that matter with
many other things formerly used. There has been le68
sickness and fewer deaths in the past fifteen years amsng
our stock than ever before; in fact, nearly full immunity
from diseases which prevailed under different treatment.

Mr. J. D. MoCarty has purchased from the Rancho Del
Paso, the thoroughbred Wngram, by Virgil— Crownlet.
Wagram only Btarted once last }ear, as a three-year-old, and
then in very ordinary company, Kalidoscope beating him.
The price is not slated.

Dates Claimed.

guess the winner.

The Coney Island Jockey Club's Executive Committee bas
changed the date of Suburban day from Saturday, June 15tb,
the. first day of the meeting, to Tuesday the 18th, the second
day. The change was made because Saturday, being a half-
holiday, the attendance would undoubtedly be large without
the^big event, and will increase the numbers greatly for Tues-
day, as oo one will want to miss the now famous contest.

Milton Young of the McGrathianna Stock Farm, has bought
the black horse Pontiac, from the Dwyer Brothers, Brook-
lyn, for $6,000. He will be placed in the stud at Mr. Young'B
farm during the coming season.

While the McCarty Brothers were looking over their horses
at Sacramento the other day, Mr. Buchanan the trainer, sent
one of the two-year-olds three-eighths of a mile in 38 seconds,
and that with 128 pounds up. Pretty good so early in the
season.

There seems to be a growing demand for straight tracks,
says the N. Y. Tribune, but it certainly does not come from
the public. It isn't a straight track that the American peo-
ple are clamoring for; it is straight racing. Give us leBS con-
servatism and more backbone iD judges' stands.

Cracksman has run his last race at Guttenburg, he has been
taken to Gravesend for a much needed rest, prepatory to put-
ting him in shape for the coming season's work. His owners
have been offered $3,500 by two parties for him, and there
was also a bid of $5,000, but they are asking S6.000 for him.

While Fred Jones and Charles Paugh were speeding a
colt last Saturday, says the San Jose Mercury, a "ft heel of
the sulky broke and spilled the occupants out, injuring
Jones' hip and Paugh's hand and wrist badly. The colt was
foitunately stopped before further injury was sustained.

The followiug entries have been made to the colt stakes
offered by the Monterey District Association: J. B. Iverson
names Mambrita and Trilling, W. J. Hill, Adrianette; Wm.
Vanderhurst, Salinas Maid; Wm. Longwood, Kitty; B, V.Sar-
eent, Sleepy David; Z. Herbert, Black Bart and Junior; J. E.
Graves, Rattlesnake Dick.

A rumor comes from Australia that Harry J. Agnew, well
and favorably known in San Francisco, had a commissioner
trying to buy Danlop, the winner of the Melbourne Cup in
1887, who ran the two miles in 3:28£, but he could not suc-
ceed in the undertaking, as the owner had Rased the stallion
for five ytars, to an Australian party.

C. W. Aby has made the reporters back East believe that
there is a diamond mine in front of bis stable door in Lake
County. Capt. Bel lairs of the St. Louis "Republic," Aber-
crombie of the "Horseman," and Charley Sass of the
'•Sporting World," are talking about visiting the Gebhard
ranch to test Aby's veracity.

D. J. Murphy has leased to a party of San Jose and Mil-
pitas gentlemen, a tract of laud on the Morebind Stock Farm,
which they will convert into a first class half mile track,
with all the necessary buildings, stalls, stud, etc. It will be
used principally for training purposes, but occassionally a
meeting will be given.

Mr. J. C. Simpson, editor of the Breeder and Sports-
man, has purchased three Antevolo colts from C. R. L&wis.
There is a yearling, a two-year old, and a three-year-old, and all
have the same dam, she by Winthrop, second dam by Chief-
tain. The g d was the dam of Mount Vernon, whose record
is 2:21.

At the breeding farm of A. L. Richards, near Grayson,
Stanislaus County, there are thirty-five Elector colts, all in
good condition, and many of them exact counterparts of the
sire. There are five of them that can beat 2:35, and at leaBt
a couple ready to enter '30 list. Elector is one of Electioneer's
very beBt sons.

A few weeks ago I published an interview with E. J. Bald-
win, wherein he stated that Eastern horses were favored in
handicaps, in comparison with Western horses. Since then
interviews with prominent horsemen, lead me to believe that
such is really the case, and I now have a liet of four Eastern
turfmen who are favored in the weights, by thehandicapers.

Many of the fun-loving sports of Butchertown were at-
tracted to the Bay District Course, last Saturday, to see a
race for $50 a side, between Richard Eagan's Old Sport and
W, C. Erban's b c Concord. The track not being considered
in good order, the match was postponed until Washington's
birthday, and the stakes increased to $200 a side.

Some weeks ago I stated that George Kennedy had pur-
chased a Three Cheers filly, dam Rosetta. From those who
have seen this filly I learn that she is a perfect model of the
typical race horse, and as she is entered for nest year's Futu-
rity and other Eastern stakes, in all probability she will be
heard from.

The Eureka Jockey Club have had a meeting pnd elected
new officers for the ensuing year. The following named
gentlemen were selected for the various positions: President,
Charles F. Roberts; vice-president, M. H. Devoy; secretary,
W. S. Clark; directors, the President, Secretary, Dr. Gross,
W. Murphy and James Brown.

The Eureka Jockey Club will have a day's racing on May
1st. A stake race has been arranged, and the following en-
tries made: Roberts' Pescoro Hayward, Gross' Grey Mare,
McGarrigan's Overlaud filly, and Young's Able by Pescoro.
The club will add $50 to the entrance money. Several other
races will take place the same day.

Tbe shipment of Anteeo 2:16£, and Fallis 2:23, and sale of
Antevolo 2:19£, to the East, withdraw from the stud in this
State three valuable Electioneer stallions. Our advertising
co'nmns indicate there are others, and good ones, left to take
their places, and that it is not only our Eastern breeders
who appreciate the blood.

*'E. J. Baldwin, says the Chicago Tribune, is probably the
most prosperous owner of race horses in America. His
horses cost him less and win more races than those of any
other man. Since 1885 be has raced 74 head, which have
started 873 times, and won 209 races and $375,704. J. B.
Haggin in the same years has raced 137 animals, starting 947
times, winning 179 events and £333,204."

The Petaluma track, already one of tbe fastest on the
coast, will be further improved by thorough cultivation, and
a sis-inch coatiDg of red, sandy clay. If from three to four
inches of well or even half rotted manure could be thor-
oughly worked into the adobe, before applying the clay coat,
our friends in Petaluma should have, the fastest and safest
track on the coast.

Tea Tray, since Billy Lakeland has had him, haB received
none but the gentlest treatment, and Mr. Lakeland feels
confident that he can cure him of his roguish propensities
by kindness. "He will never get the whip while I have
him," said he to a Sporting World reporter. "If he won't
improve under Buoh treatment, I'll give him away after Dest
season, but I don't think that I'll have to."

The steamship Egypt, of the Monarch line, has arrived at
New York, having on board the well known English race
horse Galore, by Galopin, dam Lady Maura, she by Macar-
oni, out of Noblesse by Stockwell. Now that there are two
Galopin colts in America, it is time some one began to dis-
pute the sire's pedigree, ad they have been doing in England
for years paBt. How is Galopin bred?

Anteeo's picture, of which I wrote last week, is thus spoken
of by the Santa Rusa Republican: "We have seen this pic-
ture. The painting is by Mr. McLoed of this city. It is on
a sign that is to be used by Messrs. Baker & Ross. It is an
escellent likeness of this noted horse and speaks the enter-
prise of the firm and the skill of the artist who has done the
work. When the sign is hang in its place, as it will be soon,
it will be looked upon with admiration by many."

Common opinion pronounces the colts and fillies of L. U.
Shippee, at the Sacramento race track, to be the best lot of
youngsters ever seen there. Ab Stemler will not say which
is the best, but the King Ban— Whisper filly is the likeliest
looking one of the string. A King Ban colt, a big slashing
chestnut, is also much fancied, while a Gleuelg filly has many
admirers. Picnic, the three-year-old, is looking splendid,
and should give a good account of herself this year.

Mr. T. J. Ludwig, of Santa Rosa, has a four-year-old
gelding by Ales. Button, Bire of Yolo Maid and Rosa Mc.
He is a grand looking horse, stands 17 hands, and weighs
over 1200 pounds. He possesses good action and shows a
high rate of speed. Mr. Ludwig is also the fortunate owner
of a four-year-old by Antelope, he by Nutwood, and although
but little handled can beat a 30 gait." He also has two Anteeo
youngsters, one three years old and the other four, that
show up very well.

In the stable of the Dwybi Bios, at Gravesend there is a
brother or sister to almost every horse of note, of the past
few years. A brother to Hanover, brother to Blue Wing,
brother to Kingston, brother to Jim Gore, brother to Pun-
Bter, brother to Dry Monopole, brother toFirenzi, brother to
Virgil, and eisteis to Lizzie Dwyer, Fremont and Miss Ford.
Fanoy that for a collection of Bpeed and blood lines.

Charles R. Hoppin, the owner of Yolo Maid, made me a
pleasant call lately, and finally, although rather reluctantly,
admitted that his wonderful pacing mare had attracted the
attention of several Eastern parties, and he had been asked
to name a figure for her. $10,000 is aBked, and it may come
to pass that she will change hands before long. I know she
haB gone a quarter in twenty-nine seconds, and verily believe
she can beat it.

Advocates of a thorough infusion of thoroughbred blood in
the trotter point with emphasis to this list of trotters whose
dams are said to have 50 per cent, or more of running blood:

The Board of Directors of the Agricultural Society at San
Jose, met last Saturday and heard the report of the committee
selected to form a programme of races for the fall meeting.
Mr. Boots also presented a j.rogammefor a spring meet-
ing but after a long cebate it WbS voted down. It was fin-
ally decided that if any outside parties were willing to as-
sume the responsibility of management that the society
would grant permission to hold such a meeting.

Mr. J. B. Haggin is reporttd in a Chicago paper as saying,
"that he had several horses still left in the American Derby,
and from the present appearances and movements of two of
them, either will have very little trouble in beating Sam
Bryant's much-tatked-abont Proctor Knott, and they'll be
there when the drum taps for the start in the rich event."
Mr. Haggin is a gentleman, and could not possibly use the
language quoted above. He does not brag about his horses
in that sort of style.

AI Cook and M. Hennessy are jookeys, Naicho B. and
Welcome are horses, Peter Dornalech and H. L. Samuels are
owners, Elias Wilianis, E. A. DeCamp and Johnny Griffen
are Judges, and tbe play is called tbe Double Cross. It was
enacted at the Los Angeles race track on Thursday, January
31st. Minor characteis were represented by tbe confiding
public and the pool box. The judges fined the owners $50
each and ruled them off until the fines are paid, and declared
the race, pools and bets off.

The lastest purchases of Mr. F. Gebhard and Mrs. Lang-
try, for their breeding farms, arrived at St. Helena last Sat-
urday night, and were given a rest preparatory to sending
them over to their destination in Lake county. Iu additiou.
to the three stallions Greenback, Friar Tuck and St. Savior,
there were eight brood mares, four of which are imported.
Mr. C. W. Aby came over in charge of the special car, and
reports all the horses in good condition and none tbe worse
for their trip,

On the 31st of January, one of the mares imported to
California from Anstralia by Mr. J. K. Newton dropped a
filly foal, the sire of which is Monmouth. The more is finely
bred, and if blood goes for anything, her foal should be a
wonder. Zara by MarvelouB, dam Stella, she by Kingston,
dam Regalia, by Yelverton, dam the Waterloo ilare. Before
leaving Australia, Zara was stinted to Monmouth. Mon-
mouth is a full brother to Chester, tbe great sire owned by
tbe Hon. James White, who has had sis of his get sent to
Englaod to compete for the English Derby. I remember
looking at Monmouth some three years ago. He had a white
hind foot and a pretty star on his face. Mr. Newton tells
me that the newcomer is marked exactly like tbe sire. This
is the first foal ever dropped in the United States from an
Australian mare, and sired by an Australian horse.

The Dwyer Bros, and Frank Reilly, the owner of Conne-
inara, have purchased a site for a new race track near
Elizabethport. N. J. It will be used as a winter track, in
opposition to Clifton and Guttenburg. When this is finished,
the racing public of New York will have the following
tracks within easy reaching distance: the New York Jockey
Club's track at Westohenter, rhe Long Island Jockey Club's
track at Astoria, the Naw Jersey Jockey Club's track at
Elizabeth, the American Jockey Club'* track at Jerome
Park, the Coney Island Jockey Club's track at SheepsheHd
Bay, the Brooklyn Jockey Club's track at Gravesend
Monmouth Park Association's track at Monmon'
Brighton Beaoh track, the Clifton track, the Gnl
track, Phil Daly's track at Long Branch, and po6eil 1
at Sandy Hook.

THE GUN

Id the Rookies.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— In the northern ex-
tremity of a beautiful plateau, surrounded by the snow-clad
peaks of a raDge of the Rocky Mountains, with the gapiDg
naoath of the Black Canyon in full view, nestles the little
picturesque village of Cimarron. The angry roar of the
little river, which found its bed among huge boulders dot-
ting the entire surface of the plateau, and the grandeur and
sublimity of the lofty peaks, rearing their hoary crests
thousands of feet above, produced a striking contrast to the
level plains of the Mississippi Valley. Amid snch scenes
my friend, whom I will call Frank, and mysell were fortu-
nate enough to spend a few days recently.

While in Denver I was informed that the country about
Cimarron abounded with game of all kinds. As my chief
ambition has always been to proudly stand beside a fallen
"monarch of the forest," 1 persuaded Frank to remain for a
dav or two, and attempt to realize the to us novel experience
of "a hunt among the Rockies.

The result was that a Friday afternoon found us busily
making inquiries in regard to procuring a suitable guide to
pilot us to the home of the Blacktail and Elk. After much
perseverance we were fortunate enough to procure the ser-
vices of an old hunter, who gave us what information we
required pertaining to our guns and ammunition. Eirly
the following morning three bold Nimrods might have been
seen laboriously climbing the almost perpendicular Bides of
a huge mountain.

Rifle in hand, and revolver and bowie-knife in belt, we
eagerly scanned the surrounding country for a glimpse of
some "eisy victim. As we ascended, the pinon and cedar
were replaced by the tall and majestic fir and spruce. The
numerous tracks, now of a huge bear, and then of a wild-cat
or deer, produced an aggravating effect upon us rather than
an encouraging one. "When finally we reached the timber
line, all signs of vegetation, excepting the buck brush aDd
cactus, being left behind, cold, hungry, and discouraged, we
partook of our scanty lunch, after which we resumed our
weary ascent.

As we climbed nearer and nearer to the top, it became
more and more evident that what had seemed from below to
be but a few inches of snow was in reality three or four feet
of the disagreeable element. Bat the long-legged guide,
gracefully and easily surmounting all difficulties, plodded on
before us, aDd afforded no opportunity for retreat. Upon
arriving at the coveted spot he leisurely awaited our arrival.

When dually perseverance overcame the difficulties which
presented themselves to us, we found him, nearly buried in
snow, intently gazing toward the zenith.

To one who has never experienced the peculiar sensation
of a similar situation, a description of the pictures which
presented themselves to us could but partially describe the
■oenery before us. Directly before our feet descended the
rocky walk of the Black Canyon. The Gunnison River,
wildly leaping from rock to rock, running its winding course
through the narrow basin of the canyon, seemed from our
height to be but a narrow line. The opposite granite wall,
sparkling in the sun with numerous mica strata, and glisten-
ing particles of snow, would suggest to a visionary mind the
presence of supernatural power.

The talent of an artist would fail before such a Bpeetacle
as thiB. Notwithstanding the splendor of the picture before
us, the bitterness of the cold, and the damp condition of our
clothing, compelled us to beat a hasty retreat, which was
characterized by no experience worthy of mention, except
the surprise and capture of a large cotton tail, our only
game. Much satisfaction was derived from the statement of
the guide that we were the first to successfully encounter the
difficulties of the weary ascent, making a circuit of nearly
thirty miles from our starting-point, Cimarron. At certain
seasons large game is very plentiful, and we might have con-
structed an exciting tale of adventure, by relating as part of
our experience some of the yarns poured into our ears by onr
good but exceedingly loquacious guide. At another time we
shall try again, and hope for better luck. Alvah Green.

Galesburg, Ills., Jan. 25, 1889.

A Marin Bear-Hunt.

Editor Breeder a>*d Sportsiuj.*: — I fear my item will be
too late for this week, nevertheless here it is. My near
neighbor, Mr. Abbott, had turned out upon the side of a
niountaiu, called Wittenburg, a fortnight ago, a number of
colts by Standard, he by Steinway. Hay was nearly fed out,
and there was a good bite of grass, so it was thought the colls
could take care of themselves. We farmers knew there were
bears about. At Bolinas, a seaport town only twenty-five
miles to the north of the Cliff House, on the coast, some
young meD, Bowen and Lauff, had caught three on the slopes
of Tamalpais and sold them in the city. Not one of us had
suspected the presence of a California lion, and what was onr
surprise to learn that Mr. Abbott had found five of his colts
dead in his horse pasture. Frank Miller, a disciple of Tubal
Cain, one who, in his younger days, had been a mighty
hunter, examined the colts at Mr. Abbott's request, and pro-
nounced their destroyer to be a lion. "See," said the old
sport, "the necks of the coJts; here, next the head, he has
grasped his victim with hie teeth. Look next down hiB neck
and see where his hind claws have raked open the gaping
flesh." "Too bad! too bad!" said Mr. Abbott, looking at his
big four-year-olds. "Come with me," said Mr. Miller.
"Look! see the impressions on the grassy ground of the big
cat's foot."

Walking od, the old hunter pointed to an oak tree. "See
the marks of the cats claws on the bark ot the tree, as high
or higher than a man's head; a favorable token of the cat
family to sharpen their claws, or maybe for the fun of the
thing." "Well, what will we do," said the farmer and Btook-
man. "Well," said Mr. Miller, "Let's get Juan Garcia's
dogs. I think Bismarck will tuke up the trail, and if we do
not get a lion we wili get a bear. See where tbe^e carnivora
have eaten their till." So bright and early yeflterday morning
Frank Miller and his three sons, with Mr. Abbott, called and
got Mr. Garcia's pack, six in all: Bismarck, Crowder, Bogle,
D.in and the rest, coupled, were brought to the spot where
the dead horses lay.

There was music io the air. The huu wub melting the hoar

fr< st away. The birds were a twittering. No breeze stirred

tbe leaves, and " 'twas a scent laying uiorniDg." The old

1) inter gave the reins of his old mare to his son to hold, got

f, and carefully looked over the ground. After a minute's

jspectiou, finding only bear tracks, ho picked a big fresh

ai track, took Bismarck, patted him ou the head, and put

■ nose to the iootprinls. The big dog suuffed the scent up
luto his keen nostrils, shook bis tail nervously, and the old

id knew the premier Bismarck was ready. "Uncouple the
dugB, boys, and let 'em go!"

Bismarck, with an ow, ow, Fnished by a prolonged yell,
with his head high in air, gave tongue, when every dog joined
the cry, and away swept the pack. The horsemen separated,
some going up into the ridge in eight of the Pacific Ocean.
Mr. Miller and Abbott went up Bear Valley to watoh some
run ways. Now and again came the cry of the furious pack;
the welkin paid them back, the woods were eloquent with
sound, on swept the hounds. "My boys are up the ridge,
they will hold the divide. I will go up to the old bear cross-
ing; you stay here at the forks of the creek," said our friend
Miller, and away he rode. Upon his return, not having heard
the dogs, their fast pace having carried them out of hearing,
upon a spur of the mountain far away, the old hunter heard
a shot. Hurrying up an old mad Mr. Miller met his boys.
They plunged down into a deep ravine, where the dogs were
heard. Pretty soon they came up to Mr. Abbott rifle in band,
"Ishot him in that tree; there is where he fell. See the
broken branches"

What! a bear! Yes, a big black one. Hurrying down
through the brush there they found the dead marauder at
the foot of a big piDe.

The tired dogs, with lolling tongneB, distended eyes and
heaving Bides stared at their fallen foe. "Good dog, Bis,
good boy Crowdie, good hounds all of you," said the old
man. "lean go back to the old shop now and pound iron,
watch the sparks fly, and think of this hunt for months. Let
me congratulate you, young man," said the veteran to Mr.
Abbott. "You were too previous for ub," said Ora and the
other two brothers. "But 'twas a glorious run," said Ab-
bott, "and he is a 500-lb. bear." "Yes, 'twas a good bear
hunt," Baid Frank, and so say we all of us. Rustic.

Olema, February 2, 1889.

L. J. Rose of Los Angeles, has just received a consignment
of twenty-five skylarks from Europe. The birds are supposed
to be the natural enemy of the scale bug. They will be let
loose in a few days, except a few pairs, which will be kept for
breeding purposes.

This may be useful to Bportamen. The following method
is said to be io use in Germany for water-proofing woollen
goods. A solution is made of 100 parts of alum, and 100 parts
of glue, five of tannin, and two parts of soluble glass, by
dissolving the alum in a moderate quantity of boiling water.
The glue is steeped in cold water until it has absorbed twice
its weight of water, and is then dissolved by heat. The tan-
nin and soluble glass are well stirred into solution of glue, to
which the alnui solutionis then added, and the whole is stir-
red and allowed to cool. One kilo of the gelatinous mass
is boiled for three hours in from 10 to 15 litres of water, fresh
water beiDg continually added to compensate for evaporation.
The bath is then allowed to cool to SOdeg. C, and them aterial
to be rendered waterproof is kept in it for half an hour, then
withdrawn, and the moisture is allowed to drip from it for
several hours. Finally the cloth is Btretched in a frame and
allowed to dry at a temperature of 50degs., then calendered.
The cloth gains considerably in weight, and is perfectly
waterproof, though it impedes neither air nor perspiration.

TRAP.

A new hammerless shot-gun is about to be put upon the
mar&et which is described as follows:

"The gun can be made either as a double or single barrel.
It is hammerless, or more properly speaking, a gun that does
not show the hammer on the outside. It differs from any gun
yet introduced, being an entirely original idea. There are
less pieces by half in the gun than in any hammerless gun
made. The parts are so simple that in case any part should
break any man who knows any thing about the use of a Ble
could repair the broken part. The gun is positively and
absolutely safe. Upon that point great Btiess Bhould be laid
as a great many of the hammerless guns that are made are
not safe, from the fact that there are too many springs in
them.

"The gnn has no Blide on the upper tang as all other ham-
merless guns have. It iB utterly impossible not to know
when the gun is ready to fire. When it is not ready, a lever
which falls down under the pistol grip has to be brought up
to the grip before the gun can be fired. Until the lever is up
there is no tension whatever on the mainspring. The ham-
mers and mainspring are connected and when the gun is fired
the hammers inst&ntly return to full cock and there remain
until the tension is again put on the spring and fired. In
case the tension is put on and the shooter does not wish to fire
the gun he lets go of the tension lever and the gun is carried
safely until it is again required for use.

While in Australia Commissioner Thomas B. Merry, ss
might have been expected, saw as much of the country aDd
of all its phases of sport as could he seen in the time. Among
other things he was invited up from Melbourne to Mordial-
loc to see a pigeon match in Hurlinghani style. On the train
Mr. Merry's friend, Mr. Charles Sterrett, asked the famous
Oregonian shot to take part in the match, but Merry tried to
beg off. Fioally Sterrett insisted upon paying the £5 en-
trance, and putting Merry into the Bboot, the latter, however,
disclaiming all familiarity with the manipulation of a shot
gun.

As the match progressed Mr. Merry failed to miss bird after
bird, and when the last of the dozen had been killed it ap-
peared that second and third moneys laid between Sterrett
and Merry. In the shoot off Merry made a clean score, and
left poor Sterrett to surmise how well a good Oregon shot
could shoot, if a novice could do so well.

Springfield Notes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: The Springfield Rod,
Gun and Rifle Club entertained the Broad Brook Rifle team
at their Lake Lookout Rauge recently. The day was spent in
rifle practice, and after the shooting was over adjournmeut
was made to the Exchange Hotel, where a banquet was
served, a very pleasant time was spent, and some veiy plea-
sant speeches were made. The local team will return the
visit Bhortly.

Rifle shooting is particularly dull at present among the
users of target rifles. The Armory Rifle Club shoots each
week at 800 yards ou the government range tor the purpose
of testing the Springfield rifles, manufactured at the U. S.
Arsenal. On Friday, Jan. 18, F. R. Bull, the expert military
rifle shot, recorded a full score, Creedmoor, on trie "Elliptical
Target." The day was fairly good for rifle shooting. This
is the first full Bcore ever made iu thiB city at 800 yards prone
position.

There are more qualified marksmen in the two local militia
companys than any other two companies from one city in the
State. T.

The Laughing- Jackass.

"The average IriBh servant girl always creates a great deal
of amusemen ," said Tom Merry to us the other day, "but a
lady friend of mine in Sydney had an experience that rather
acquires a mortgage on the bakery. She hired a girl to do
general housework. Bridget got breakfast ready, and in
doing so got a great deal of chaff from the junior members of
the family. She remonstrated with her mistress who scolded
the children heartily and then packed them off to school.
Bridget then started in to wash the breakfast dishes.

Just as she began this portion of her duties, a specimen
of the Giant King6sher (laughing jackass) escaped from his
cage at a neighbor's house and flew over on the roof of the
hen-house of the lady in question. The melodious and
sagacious antipodean nightingale had just got cleverly
perched when out came Bridget to empty the dish water.
She just got cleverly out of doors when the intellectual-look-
ing bird began:

"Haw! Haw!! Haw!!!"

"Hew's a lofifin the like o'that ?" queried the angry Milesian
female.

"Haw! Haw!! Haw!!!" came the audible smile of the
irreverent bird again. Bridget cast a withering glance at
the chicken coop, and then bounced into the house.

"I'll lave the sarvice this minute, maam, so I will. First
it was the children and thin they wint to school. Now I
wint out into the back yard and the chicken b11 began loffin*
at me. I'll lave the house, bo I will. Faix, I wouldn't
shtay in an any house in the wurreld where the faowls waB
afther niakin' foon av me!"

THE KENNEL.

Uog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, tn all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Those who saw and admired the English setter Ben, win-
ner of second in the class for English setter dogs at the
Pacific Kennel Club Show in April last, will be pleased to
note among notices of whelpings, that Mr. George Mailer's
Ophelia has been presented with a lot of brothers and sisters
to Ben.

The Occidental Coursing Club will meet at 539 California
street, city, on Tuesday evening next, at S p. m. Much
business of importance will comb before the meetiog and it
is particularly requested that all members will attend.
Details of the coursing meeting of the club, February 22d,
will be settled.

The field trials are already bearing golden fruit. On
Monday an intelligent cat made a magnificent point right in
front of the Knights of the Trigger roomB, and was admirably
backed by a homemade dog. Our home talent is sure to win
with half a ebance, and if Photographer Boyd, or even
Photographer Lewis Chittenden had been on hand, the point
of that cat's point would have been everlastingly preserved.
— "Kern County Californian."

Our old red setter bitch Belle, broken by ns and run to a
win in the earlier California field trials, has recently had
another honor thrust upon her. Belle and her last Jitter
were photographed, and Mr. Moore, of Portland, Oregon, made
a large crayon from the photo. Commissioner Merry took the
crayon to the Melbourne Exposition, where it took third prize
in the exhibit of animal pictures. Animal studies from Ger-
many, England, and France were shown, and the win reflects
much credit upon Mr. Moore, albeit he had a beautiful sub-
ject. Belle is now owned and hunted by that genuine sports-
man Mr. E. M. Arthur, of Portland, and is still able to do a
fair day's work, in her own peculiar fashion. She was the
hardest beast to break that has ever passed through our
hands, but was a first rate shooting dog when she left us.

A club to be known as the "Riverside Hunt" has been or-
ganized, as an outcome of the coursing meeting at Casa
Blanca, reported in these columns last week. The By-laws
adopted by the club are as follows:

1. The affairs of the club shall be managed by the govern-
ing committee, consisting of the regularly elected officers.

2. All members entering on or before February 15, will be
qualified as charter members by payment of $1.50 initia-
tion fee.

3. Nominations for membership to be made by two mem-
bers of the club, and then admitted by a majority vote of the
governing committee.

4. Scarlet shall be the color of the Hnnt.

5. The Master of the Hunt Bhall have full control on the
field and the privilege of appointing aides at his discretion,
and huntBmen shall pay strict attention to his directions.

6. Regular "Meet" days of the Hunt shall be on the fol-
lowing Tuesdays: February 5, February 10, March 5, March
19, April 2, April 16.

7. Notices of each meet shall be published by the Secre-
tary, first on the "Wednesday prior, and then continuously to
the day of the meet.

8. If a postponement of a meet be necessary, owing to
the weather, or for any other cause, the Master of the Hunt
shall give prompt notice in the newspapers over his signa-
ture.

9. No dogs but greyhounds (excepting by the express
permission of the M. H.) shall be allowed in the field, and
all dogs shall be kept in leash and turned loose only by
direction of the M. H.

10. The Secretary shall have these by-laws printed, and
supply each member with a oopy thereof.

From a perfectly competent and candid man who attended
the trials at HighPoiut.aud those of the American and South-
ern Clubs, there come some notes of interest. He writes:
The trials of 1S8S were not equal to those of 1886. The
pointers made a pitiful showing, particularly 'at Amory. I
very much doubt whether a pointer state will ever be run
again either at High Point or the Southern, i. e., a stake suf-
ficient in number to be respectable. I had the pleasure of
meeting P. H. Bryson, Charley Tucker, Bev. Stephenson,
Whitford and Col. Gordoo.

The consumption of whiskey at High Point fell off from
two casks in 1S86, with several hundred bottles of claret and
beer, to a small keg in 1S88, and very little of the beer and
sich. None of tbe good fellows were there this year — except
myself — much to the. flatness of the meet. Edward Dexter.
Gregory, Hamilton, Dad Wilson, Orth and several others wuo
love the dog dearly for his own sake were not there; but it is
ooly the havoc which time causes. The older ones have to
move out as the younger ones move in.

I was really grieved to see poor Major Hammond, of Forest
and Stream, suffer so modi piin and despondency. I was
glad to hear from hini about the holidays that he was again
able to be in the offi e, alihoogh far from well. I fear he will
not be able to endure the hardships of another Held trial cir-
cuit, and tha trials have thus lost a reporter who is as true at
heart as human nature ever reaches [so say we, Ed.] It is
discouraging to think that newspaper men have to die and
go to heaven, whether they wish to or not, but "it is writ-
ten."

The PaciGo Kennel Clib meets at Parlor A, Palace Hotel,

A Useful Book.

Mr. Bernard "Waters, for a long time Kennel Editor of the
American Field, and undoubtedly as well fitted for the labor
as any man, has written a biok which will soon be placed
upon the market.

It is entitled "Modern Training, Handling and Kennel
Management." Of the volume the quaint and delightful
author says in a personal note: "It will be published about
February let, and will be an exhaustive treatise on dog train-
ing and handling from a modern professional standpoint.
• The uBe and abuse of the spike collar are minutely described,
particularly in respect to retrieving. Many venerable falla-
cies are exposed. I feel a great deal of solicitude in educat-
ing the public up to a higher plane in sporting matters. I
thirst to become a benefactor oE my race; to be a pioneer in
higher and more virtuous paths than those pursued by some
sportsmen. This book I think will (price $2.50) accomplish
the benisons I contemplate, and make men happier and bet-
ter."

To what our valued friend Waters says we may add that
everything he writes is of great practical value, and his book
cannot but be the great working authority wherever pointers
and setters are known and used.

Death of Old Blank Joe.

A. line from Mr. James E. AVatson on Wednesday informed
ub that his famous black pointer. Old Biack Joe, died at his
kennels in Berkeley on Tuesday, February 5tb, the canse
being pleuro-pneumoDia. Mr. Watson feels the loss keenly,
and has the sympathy of all fellow fanciers.

Old Black'Joe was a dog of th= rareBt quality in every re-
spect. His bench form was BUperior, and in the field he
could only be beaten by a phenomenally good performer.
His winning of both the Derby and All-Aged Stakes at
Bakersneld last month, stamped him as one of the best
pointing dogs alive. He met good competitors, and beat
them out at hand. His pace was better than average, and
well maintained; in range he was wide, uniform, and covered
his (ground closely; he quartered well and with fine judg-
ment; in style he was very taking, both when in motion and
on point and back. He had a sare nose and a keen one,
was obedient, and had an excellent disposition. In short, he
was at all poiots the fine, tasty, useful shooting dog, and one
that a thousand litters may not replace.

About Old Black Joe.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman;— In your edition of the
26th inst, you give a very jumbled up account of Old Black
Joe. In the fir^t place you stale he is supposed to have been
bred by W. R. Pape, Newcastle. I do not know who does
the supposing for which there is no necessity. I look upon
it as trying to throw discredit on the dog, bat I pride myself
1 have got a dog that is good enough for me. The dog icas
bred by W. R. Pape, and by him sent to my brother in
Liverpool, who shipped the dog to me.

Secondly, you say the dog wa-i purohased by me through
Wm. Graham of Belfast. Now I n-iver had any correspon-
dence with Mr. Graham until six months alter the arrival
here of Old Black Joe. To prove to yon that you were
aware of these facts, I refer yon to the Breeder and Sports-
man of October 8, 1887, in which you notice Joe's ;arrival.
and also to the same paper's edition of June 30, 1888, in
which you notice the arrival of my bitch Black Bess, which
I Jid buy from "Wm. Graham, Belfast, but she is in no way
connected with the Pape strain that I am aware of. When I
brought ont Joe I had no intention of ever patting him in
any public 6eld trials. I got him simply for my own use,
and never should have allowi d him to run in public had it
not been for the earnest solicitation of Mr. Allender. By
giving publicity to the above, yon will oblige

James E. Watson.

[Mr. Watson is doubtless correct in his statement as to
the buying of Joe otherwise than through "Wm. Graham,
which is a matter of the slightest importance. In our remark
about the buying of Old Black Joe, we desired to convey the
idea that Mr. Watson knew nothiDg as the antecedents of
the dog, bis age. breeding, breeder, etc. If Mr. Watson can
produce any auth ntic evidence fts to the age of Joe it should
be don*1, because there exists a general hehef that the dog is
considerably older than two years. Several persons accus-
tomed to breed and handle setters and pointers agree in dis-
crediting Joe's right to start as a Derby dop, and one of
them has even gone so far a-* to express a positive conviction
that the dog is three years old at least,

No one presumes that Mr. Watson would do anything
irregular, and the mere fact that he entered Joe in the
Derby is all the proof needed that he believed the dog to have
been whelped on or after January 1, 1887. If Joe had not
shown himself a very good dog, little interest would attach
to any particulars about him, but since he has exhibited
uncommonly good form, the fullest information about him
should be obtainod and published, and it is as muoh to Mr.
Watson's interest as to that of any other to get proper certi-
ficates of breeding from his breeder. In April last Mr.
Watson certified that he did not know the age or breeding
of the dog. If he has since then received proper and neces-
sarylinformation about the deg, we shall be pleased to publish
it.— Kex. Ed.]

The Baldwin Stable.

Br (tbim.

In the various places where horsemen most do congregate,
the question is asked almost every day, "What horses will
Lucky Baldwin take East this year?" Mr. Baldwin has had
such remarkable good fortune in former years with his rac-
ing stable that naturally more than a pasting interest is
manifested by those who incline to the royal sport. Bumors
of various kinds have been floating around for several months
as to Mr. Baldwin's intentions, amocg others, cue to the
effect that the Santa Anita stable's colors would not be seen
on the Eastern courses this season, but that instead, Mr.
Baldwin would only race in California. That gentleman
assured the writer that be will take a small, but highly
selected lot to do battle on the Eastern turf. Most of the
two-year-olds will be tried here, prior to shipment, and any
not showing the highest possible form will be leit behind
and entered for California events. It may possibly occur
that after the p;ck of the stable is forwarded, some one or
more of the cast offs may show up in proper stake form, in
that event they will be sent on to join the Eastern contin-
gent. Mr. Baldwin has determined, however, to cut down
the expenses as low as can be, without detriment to the
stable, and as it will be under his personal supervision, he
will be enabled to judge from time to time, what changes, if
any, are necessary. Instead of Mr. Koberts, who was the
trainer last year, Eobert Campbell will be the first in com-
mand, and as Bob has been for several years connected with
the stable, no better man could have been chosen. The
young jockey, Graham West, will have the premier mount,
with Isaac Murphy a6 heavyweight, but the latter is not
regularly engaged, as he was lust year, but will be paid for
winning and losing mounts, the same a6 any other disen-
gaged jockey. The horse first to be mentioned in the strmg
is Los Angelep, that game and speedy daughter of Glenelg,
whorfe winnings last year tended so materially to make the
stable a paying investment- She has thickened out consid-
erably since her last appearance on the Bay District track,
and if anything, has grown a little in height. Her grand
performances as a two-year-old, and still greater improvement
as a three-year-old, would naturally make the ordinary
observer incline to the opinion that Los Angeles will be the
successor of FireDzi in her foui-year-old form. The writer
watched her carefully through the Eastern circuit last year,
and can safely assert that Mr. Baldwin's chestnut tilly was,
next to the Emperor of Norfolk, the best exponent of thrte-
jear-old form that the East saw last year. There were many
who fancied Bella B. for the leading positioD, but race after
race proved that Los Angeles was of the come and come
again order, while Bella B. could not stand the hard work
imposed on the Santa Anita mare. Gt>rgo, if in good health
was the only 6ily fit to be compared with Los Angeles.

There are but few of last year's btable that will accompany
Los Angeles back, and the best of the balance, Grisette, will
be bred. It may seem wise to the management to send this
mare to the stud, but she showed up so well on her return,
that policy wonld dictate that she be Bpeeded for another year
at least. Grisette, for a mare of her size, showed she coald
carry weight with the best of them, and while she fell off in
form along in September, especially the day Wahoo beat her,
she rounded too and was as good as ever when she beat
Daisy D , Edelweiss, J. M. It. and others on the fourth of
December, at the Blood Horse Meeting here. If Mr. Bald-
win should change his mind and take Grisette, under ordi-
nary circumstances, bhe will prove a big bread winner.

Caliente is down on the list to travel, as ie also Ganymede,
both of whom were raDk disappointments last season, and
unlesB they have improved wonderfully will simply prove a
drag on the 6table. It is true Caliente made a presentable
appearance in the spring but went all to pieces, and when
she had to meet even ordinary horses in the stakes run for,
during the summer and fall, she proved no good. Formosa,
a full sister to Caliente, may go with the stable, if she shows
any speed at all. Mr. Baldwin says that Mollie Mc'Carty's
Last will also be brad; but she has not been withdrawn from
any of the Eastern stakes for which she was entered, so it is
fair to assume she will also go. Of the two-year-olds prob-
ably the best of the lot is Guadaloupe, by Grinstead, dam
Josie C, who gives promise of being a first-class race-horFe.
There are others on the farm that are thought more of, but
private information warrants the presumption that Guada-
loupe will lead the winners among those of his own age.

A fall sister to Volante has h6r admirers by the score, and
no wonder, for blood will tell, but to the eye she does not
show up as well as her relative did at the same age. She
has been named St. Cecelia. Another of the favorites among
stable boys is Amigo, by Prince Charlie, dam Mission Belle.
Violetta (a full sister to Laredo) by Grinstead — Hermosa, is
a likely looking chestnut filly, as is Orange Leaf, by Kuther-
ford, dam Fallen Leaf. Magdelena by Glenelg, dam Malta,
is a full sister to Grisette, and if she can only developea
tithe .of the speed her sister had, will make a valuable
aHjaoct to the stable. Still another of the fancied ones is
Siualoa, a sister to Goliah, and half sister in blood to Lucky
B. There are about twenty in all to select fioni, those men-
tioned being the most likely at the present wriiing. There
is a slight possibility that Mr. Baldwin may purchase one or
two tried race horses for the handicaps, when he goes East,
to assist in filling oat the stable as it is already lacking in
aged horses.

It is certainly annoying, says the London Referee, that
there are so many unnamed horses, and our turf legislators
woald do good if they were to make a rule that no horse wss
eligible to bo nominated for any race until he was properly
identified. It would also be just as well whilst they were
about it to see that no name that has been used before should
be adopted a second time. This cirenmstance has become
very frequent of late, and, although it does no particular
harm jnst at the present time, it will breed confusion, aod is
liable to caase mistakes in the arrangement of the Stud Book
in years to come.

Too Cramped.

That section of the present act which confines pool-
selling or book mating to the grounds or buildings on,
or in which the contests are decided is too contracted to
be proper in California. In San Francisco the pool sell-
ing previous to the date fixed for decision is a great aid
in inducing attendance, and the reports of pool selling
in the morning papers attract attention which would be
otherwise lacking. At Sacramento it is also important
that the speculators should have an opportunity for mak-
ing investments prior to the time when the race is called.

The mornings during the State Fair are fully occupied
in attending to departments outside of that which is de-
nominated "speed," and the work of committees could
not be effectively performed if at the same time auction
pools were iu progress.

The simplest of all propositions is to confine pool sell-
ing and book making to events occurring in California,
the details will be easy to regulate, in fact prove auto-
matic, and, with a general governor, be self-regulating.

The argument that a law which will declare it crimi-
nal to sell pools or make books in one portion of San
Francisco and legalize it in another, is contrary to guar-
anteed rights, is not without force.

Still there aro analagous cases in which the principle
is observed, and if legal in them must also be proper in
this.

The passage of an act which has force in all parts of
the State will;obviate that difficulty. Legal everywhere,
when restricted to California contests, and the business
properly conducted, illegal when pools are sold or book9
opened on events transpiring elsewhere. Simple as
"rolling off a log," the only persons who will discover
any complexity are those who have a direct pecuniary
interest to the contrary.

No more pool selling or bookmaking on far away
events,

"New Method to Dress Horses."

Those of our readers who study, as well as talk horse,
will be thoroughly pleased with the portions of the Duke
of Newcastle's work which is now before them. A great
deal will be learned of the horses and systems of breed-
ing when he wrote, and some will unquestionably be
surprised at the extent of his knowledge. Soon after
Cavendish gave his work to the public, the breeding of
thoroughbreeds may be said to have commenced, though
it was nearly one hundred years thereafter before the
business was brought into good shape. Sixty years
previous to the introduction of the Godol^hin Arabian
into England the Duke's discription of the various breeds
was penned, and the picture of the Barb in general as
he paints it would answer to the later portraits of the
Godolphin.

While the style and antique orthography may be some-
what troublesome, until use overcomes the impediments,
it appears to give our readers more satisfaction than when
the spelling was modernized. Much of the interest
would be lost if brought to our present method of expres-
sion, and without the capitals, italics, punctuation and
paragraphing as it is found in the book it might seem to
be counterfeit.

Although the author is candid enough to deny 'aking
much interest in horse races, whoever reaas his instruc-
tions carefully will learn that he was reasonably well
posted in that branch of horsemanship, if his whole
delight laid in the "mannage." His instructions to select
mares to "breed racing-horses of" are just as applicable
at the present time as they were long before the 17th
century came to a close, and the points he insists on
would be recognized as valuable by our present experts.
It will be noticed, however, that he insists on the stallion
being a Barb, "and somewhat of the shape I have
described the mares to be of," though further than to
class mares in divisions, named after the countries they
were natives of, there are no allusions to pedigrees.

Increase tlie attendance on California tracks, close the
gates of the appendages to Eastern racing.

The Last News.

The Public Morals Committee took up the bill to restrict
pool-selling on the race-tracks. Great interest has been
manifested in this bill by the sporting fraternity, as it is
claimed that it is less in the interest of the Society for the
Prevention of Vice than in that of a proposed monopoly
which will after its passage control pool-selling at the track
in San Francisco while it freezes oat all competition at the
different pool rooms. Clnnie appeared for the pool-sellers
and W. H. H. Hart for the society. There is a powerful
money interest on either side.

" The above was cut from T/ie Gall, and is the latest
intelligence which is likely to be received before going
to press. There is one gross error, that being the state-
ment: "There is a powerful money interest on j either
side." We do not believe that there is a single dollar
used in the way intimated on the side of reform, and
the charge is one of the methods of attack adopted by
the opposition. Mr. Hinchman is the only individual
we know of who has expended anything, and there iB
little doubt that his moneyed investment is only so far
as to pay his travelling expenses and hotel bills. It is
one of these questions where the direct pecuniary in-
terest is one side, and the people who are harvesting
the present crop are ready and willing to pay liberally
for ploughing the ground and scattering the seed, for
another.

While breeders, owners of horses, trainers and track
proprietors (in the latter named being the managers of
fairs) are all ready enough to express a hope that re-
form will be reached, no one has even suggested that a
"sack" be filled to hasten the passage. We are hugely
grateful that such is the status, and that the whole
dependence is upon the justness of the diuse. We have
pttle fear of the result, notwithstanding a congress-
man elect champions the cause of unlimited book mak-
ing and pool selling, provided the bill reaches a stage

which will bring out argument in Senate and House.
As outlined above, the main dependence is to make
people believe that it is a fight in which Mr. Hinch-
man is battling to transfer the business from one part
of San Francisco to another, and therefore it is only
a change in name and not in fact.

We earnestly urge those who are taking the lead on
the oill of reform to stamp that phase of the question
so far under ground that it will be buried as deeply as
Pompeii was submerged by the ashes of Vesuvius, and
by raising the standard of California interests without
the chance even for supposing that there are sinister
motives, victory is as certain as that the sun will rise.

We call upon Mr. Hinchman to show beyond all
cavil that he has not been misrepresented. Let him go
before the committee, or put it boldly into the papers
that he is far above such sordid feelings; that while he
has pecuniary interests at stake, and which it is proper
for him to protect, there is a higher duty which be
will not shirk. All that is required is to support a bill
which will limit pool selling and booh making to events which
are to be decided within the boundaries of the Stite,

The only exchanges permlssabl** in California are those
which support California interests.

Senate Bill. No. 431.

INTRODUCED EY MR. PINDER, JANUARY 31, 1S89.
Referred to Committee on Public Morals.

An Act to add a new Section to Chapter X of the Penal Code,

to be known and numbered as Section 337, Relative to the

selling of pools on horse-raoes.
The People of the State of California, represented in Senate
and Assembly, do enact as follows:

Section 1. A new section is hereby added to tb.6 Penal
Code, to be known and numbered three hundred and thirty-
seven.

Section 337. Every person who buys, sells, or causes to be
sold any pools on horRe-races, or who conducts, either as
owner or employe, whether for hire or not, auy turf exchange
or other place for the sale of such pools, or for the betting on
horse-races, is punishable by a fine of not less than two
hundred dollars, nor more than onethousand dollars for each
offense, and shall be imprisoned in the county jail until such
fine and costs of prosecution are paid.

Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect immediately.

From the intelligence which we have received, the
above bill is a part of the programing or scheme devised
by those who are interested in the present system of
pool-selling and bookmaking. A threat was made that
if a measure to regulate pool-selling and bookmaking
was urged, and with a proepect of it being passed, the
opposition would join the ranks of those who were in
favor of suppression and carry prohibition in retaliation.

There is little danger of Mr. Finder's bill becoming a
law, and still less that such a palpable bluff will have
the desired effect. Delay and mystification are the
dependence of those who are antagonistic to reform, and
their hope is that the session will pass without action.

It may be that Mr. Pinder has presented the bill in
good faith, that he conscientiously believes that he has
performed a laudable action, and that his position on a
high morality plane will be duly appreciated by his con-
stituents, and redound to his credit. Should that be the
case we cannot find fault with Mr. Pinder, neither shall
we endeavor to persuade him from following his convic-
tions. Arguments will be of little avail when a man
imagines that he is only influenced by a higher law than
that which governs a majority of his fellow citizens. We
do not accuse Mr. Pinder of fanatacism or bigotry, and
in lieu of denunciations sincerely condole with him on
the asceticism of his nature. We have a feeling of pity
for a man who is so hampered with prejudices that he
cannot bear to see others enjoying themselves in a way
that he cannot appreciate. In all probability the author
of the above bill (if it was presented with sincerity) has
been educated and trained iu the belief that nearly all-
pleasures are sinful. That all kinds of recreation are
traps of old Nick to add to his captives, and that pool-
selling especially merits as severe punishment as burglary
or manslaughter.

Gloomy as are the views of Mr. Pinder in relation to
horse-racing, and though full of anxiety to put an end to
the "royal sport" in California, we are gratified to learn
that he does not ignore other pleasures which are of a
somewhat kindred nature, and that he is enthusiastic in
his admiration of dogs. Our informant did not state
whether his fancy ran in the way o£ coursing or that the
field trial celebrities were the subjects of his adoration.
As more money is wagered on the handsomest of all
canines, the graceful greyhound, than hunting dogs, we
presume that the former are his pets.

We come to thiB conclusion from the wording of the
bill, and furthermore take back all we have written in
accusing Mr. Pinder of hypermorality, as a closer perusal
shows as plainly as twice two is four, that his only ani-
mosity is against "every person who buys, sells, or causes to
be sold any pools on horse-races, or who conducts, either as
owner or employe, whether for hire or not, any turf exchange
or other place for the sate of stick pooht or for the betting on

horse-races^ is punis7ia?>Ier etc." Limiting tlie penalty to
pool-selling or betting on horse-races, exonerating those
who sell pools or bet on prize-fights, foot-races, grand
six-day humbugs, etc., it is barely possible that extreme
purity of anti-gambling principle is the motive for intro-
ducing the bill.

Some one, or some parties, wanted the chestnuts pulled
out of the fire, and there is little doubt that in Mr. Pin-
der's good nature he "presented the bill by request''
without giving it a moment's consideration.

Whatever the history of this "new section of the PeDal
Code" may be, that it will fail in the intended purpose,
is beyond controversy. The horse-folk are not so easily
frightened as to surrender at the first outslaught, or
become terrified with the bogle of prohibiting pool-sell,
ing and betting on horse-races, and giving unlimited
license to wager on all other sports, reputable or disre-
putable, and in any section cf the country.

Fallacious Arguments.

"We hear that som.6 of those who oppose the passage of
a bill for the regulation of pool selling and book making,
present an argument which has had an effect in mislead-
ing men as to the true status.

That is that Mr. Hinchman is actuated by a desire to
obtain a monopoly of the business in San Francisco, and
not from an inclination to further general interests.
These advocates advance the idea that if the present bill
should become a law pool selling ^and book making will
be centralized on the Bay District course, and then those
speculators who desired to make investments on Eastern
races will have to accept such terms as are offered, there
being no chance for competition.

It is not at all probable that enough people would
make daily visits to the Bay District to make the busi-
ness remunerative, but even in that case one of the evils
would be in a measure remedied. There would be an
inorease of revenue to sustain the track, and a part of the
profits, at least, go to support racing and trotting.

But the plan we favor giveB no opportunity for that
kind of reasoning, if reasoning it can be called, and for
anything we can discover is as effective as it is simple.

Restrict pool selling and book making to events which
are decided in California, and all the drawbacks are re-
moved, all the benefits retained. There is not the faint-
est shadow of monopoly, and as heretofore in this State
there will be little friction to overcome. Eastern racing
is now a continuous chain, with scarcely a week day in
the year a blank. This constant grist is what keeps the
book mills at work.

A steady falling of grain into the hopper and the toll
exacted will take the whole contents of the Backs when
a few trips have been made. "We are informed that a
ten per cent, book is held to be a liberal offer on the part
of the layer. That means that for every thousand dol-
lars invested one hundred is absorbed, and it does not
require a great deal of arithmetical proficiency tc'cipher
out" where that will end. Even at the regular percent-
age on pools, viz., three per cent, it does not require rnaDy
races to make a big hole in the capital. But as associa-
tions get from sixty per cent, up for their share of the
spoils, and that is given in enhanced premiums, so that
it is a direct assistance in promoting one of the main re-
sources of the State. Not a dollar is derived from per-
centages on Eastern races, the three, five or ten per cent
being diverted into other channels.

"We have heard a still more senseless argument than
that presented by the cry of monopoly, that being that
public rooms, by fostering a penchant for betting on
races, increased the emoluments of home tracks, owing
to the habit acquired through that influence. As it was
a "proprietor" who entered the plea it was probably a
ctrefully studied conclusion advanced to offset diminished
attendance at fairs and races consequent on the attrac-
tions the rooms present. It should be evident to the
dullest of comprehension that there must be an excess of
losers. Were winnings and losseB equally divided it
would not be long until a large capital was absorbed in
telegraphic despatches, rent, clerk hire, etc. Telegrams
are probably the highest item in the expense account,
and we have heard that the running expenses will not
fall short of §300 per day for all of the rooms. After a
liberal allowance for overestimates there is a reasonable
presumption that the aggregate expenditures are $50,000
per year. This and the profits will give the excess of
losses over wiunings,and if the transfer of a large amount
of money from the pockets of those who are likely to sup-
port racing and trotting to others who do not lend the
slightest aid, is an advantage, there must be reasons
other than those advanced.

But arguments, although devoid of logic, have an
effect, and when reiterated are apt to deceive. The claim
that Mr. Hinchman is only actuated by self interests is

only true in part. His interests are identical with those
of horse breeders and horse owners. As the lessee of the
Bay District Course and the Oakland Trotting Park he
has a pecuniary interest, and when, owing to the estab-
lishment of public betting rooms, these properties fall
short of paying expenses, he must battle in favor of the
removal of adverse influences or throw up his leases.
"Whatever militates against the interest of public tracks
is also inimical to the "breeding and rearing of fast
horses." This is so apparent that arguments are un-
necessary and one illustration will be sufficient. The
revenues of both of the Metropolitan tracks became so
much reduced that something had to be done in the way
of a return for expenses absolutely necessary to keep
them in order.

In place of a free use of stabling and track, a rental of
five dollars a month for each horse stabled or exercised
upon the track was imposed. This met with earnest
opposition from trainers. The prices fixed for training
horses had become fixed from custom, and owners could
not be saddled with tbe extra amount without incurring
the risk of losing their custom. "Without the imposts
the tracks would be closed until the forces in opposition
were met and defeated. No one had a better knowledge
thau Mr. Hinchman of the necessity for lightening the
burdens, as much as possible, of men who are engaged
in training race horses and educating trotters. Next to
breeders and owners they are the mainstay of sport, and
when they have to struggle for a livelihood there is a
corresponding struggle on the part of the proprietors.
The endeavor on the part of Mr. Hinchman to secure
the passage of a bill which will enable him to make his
properties available, and not run at a loss, is motive
sufficient without looking for a removal of the institutions
on pauper alley to the Bay District.

But should there be doubts on the part of legislators in
regard to that phase of the question, it is easy to employ
effective guards by substituting a bill which will render
it illegal to sell pools or make books on events transpir-
ing outside of California.

No more races by telegraph, wlifu the starting bell

Pools and Bookmaking:.

We have been told that a claim was made before the
committee which has charge of the bill to regulate pool-
selling and bookmaking, that if a postponement were
granted, quite a large number of men interested in horse
breeding would give evidence in favor of continuing the
present system. "We are not in the habit of paying much
attention to what Dame Burner promulgates, and there
is little chance for the above accusation to be true. It
may be that men have remarked that they would prefer
the present system to entire abrogation, and a few who
send horses to run in the East might like to have an
opportunity to back them at home. But we venture to
say that if an expression of opinion could be obtained
from every breeder of racehorses or fast trotters in Cali-
fornia, the vote would show fully ninety-five per cent-
of the whole number in favor of limited poolselling. We
have yet to find a single breeder ^ho was opposed to the
roposed change, and we asked quite a number during
the fairs of 1886. And there was a like expression from
the directors and managers of exhibitions whose turf and
track sports were a part of the programme. There were
fears that agitation might lead to suppression, if action
were taken then, and though our belief was contrary to
that opinion, with the greatest reluctance the controv-
versy was abandoned, or rather suspended for the time.

Some have argued that prohibition would cure itself,
and that a trial for a couple of years would be so detri-
mental to Agricultural Fairs that the whole people
would be in favor of repeal. That might be, though
there is no necessity for such a heroic dose. Twe seasons
of disaster will require several years to bring back shat-
tered health, and even then there would be dread of a
relapse. There are two black clouds hanging over the
horse-breeding interpsts of California. One is unre-
stricted poolselling and bookmaking, the other absolute
prohibition. The first-named is not quite so dark as the
other, the main danger being that so many evils follow
the establishment of betting rooms where there are con-
tinual and daily temptations presented, that these evils
would be held to justify entire suppression.

California has gained so high a place in the records
which contain the doings of racehorses and fast trotters,
that it has practically the first place. Climatic and
other advantages are so greatly superior to other part3
of the United States, that the drawback of distant
markets is in a measure overcome, and with opportuni-
ties to make the most of Nature's gifts, every year will
show an increase. "With poolselliDg done away with
the business will be restricted to wealthy men, who can
afford to breed and train horses for Eastern engagements,
qy who have breeding farms which are so richly endowed

with many animals of acknowledged superiority, that
purchasers will be attracted from a distance, and that a
traiuload of colts can be sent thousands of mileR with a
fair show that the venture will prove remunerative, ard
failing in that, plenty of backing to sustain loss without
financial distress. There are only a few private tracks
in California, the great amount of labor required to
keep a track in order during the dry season being an
interdict, unless to men who can afford the outlay.

There are a greater number of public tracks which are
a mile in circuit in California, than in any other State
in the Union, and should poolselling be abolished, a
majority of them will be abandoned.

When deprived of the reveuue obtaiued from poolsalus
the premiums at fairs will be so greatly reduced, that
there will be little incentive to train horses, and without
speed departments fairs will dwindle into comparative
insignificance, when contrasted with the magnificent ex-
hibitions which are now presented in every district iu
California. There will be an end to the opening of now
breeding farms, when there are no opportunities to dis-
play the stock at home, and in lieu of Eastern horses
and men in charge coming here to winter, there will be
a beggarly array of empty boxes on every trotting park.

There is another feature which even rigid moralists
must acknowledge to be productive of good. The
autumnal fairs are grand harvest homes, calling together
thousands of people, and it is within bounds to say that
in practical teaching they are potent educators. Not
twenty per cent of the attendance will visit them when
horses are restricted to show rings, and the crowds which
throng the grounds in the morning and the pavilions in
the evening, will dwindle to small proportions.

The only reliable test to prove the excellence of horses
which bring large prices is that which competition
affords. The most skillful expert will fail, should he
endeavor to select from form and breeding, without
calling to his aid actual and positive trials. Speed and
capacity to keep up rapid movements for designated di:-
tances are the main elements of value. To preserve a
race of horses which are tne best adapted for general
use to the highest standard, the race course is an abso-
lute necessity. This crucial test separates the gold from
the dross, and while executing this laudable purpose
there is also presented an amusement which is highly
relished by people in every station of life.

"We have yet to see a person who did not give indica-
tions of pleasure when witnessing a race in which the
contest was close. We have sat or stood by the side of
men who claimed to be surprised at the enthusiasm ex-
hibited over brutes, and who also asserted that a race to
them would be a tiresome spectacle. We have seen these
men wave their hats or handkerchiefs, stamp their feet
and clap their hands, and heard them cheer with nearly
as much heartiness as the Btable boys when the victor
gained the Olympian crown. That racing meets a gen-
eral desire is manifested by the vast assemblages which
crowd alL the available space when prominent horses are
contending, and there is not a civilized country in the
world where the feeling of eojoyment is not apparent.

A mass of people, equivalent to the whole adult popu-
lation of San Francisco, are on the Epsom Downs, the
Bois do Bologne, or the Flemington Course, when the
Derby, the Grand P.ix, or the Melbourne Cup are on the
cards, at Long Branch, Monmouth Park, Washington
Park, and other Eastern courses, there are large con-
courses of delighted spectators; and those who attend
the State and district fairs of California are well aware
that if racing and trotting were abolished the attend-
ance would be diminished fully two-thirds.

The California State Fair is so far superior to any
other exhibition, dignified with the title of the State in
which it is held, that comparison which will convey a
proper idea is troublesome to make. There is not a de-
partment which falls short, scarcely one which is not
away in the lead. It will be an utter impossibility to
retain that proud pre-eminence if the speed department
is jeopardized by adverse legislation; and when that is
shorn of its fair proportions, all the others will share in
its downfall. We have slight fears that either of the
dark clouds will cast their baleful shadows over the in-
terests at stake much longer, and sincerely trust that
this present Legislature will disperse the gloom.

Squirrel Killing.

Mr. Gilbert Tomkins, owner of the Souther Farm, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, lives in Alameda County,
near San Leandro, a section infested bygronud squirrels, and
has recently attempted to free hid place from the rodents,
with gratifying success. Id answer to a query as to the
methods used, Mr. Tomkins writes:

This is the very best time of the year to kill off these pest?,
A little expense in this month will save much time and trouble
later on.

Many ways have been used in this State to keep the
squirrel down. Traps will do well enongh for an occasional
lone sqairre1, but require altogether too much labor when
they are present iu quantity. Two or three years ago the
"smokers" became very popular, and iron cylinders of a
great many descriptions, all furnished with some apparatus
for blowing smoke into the squirrel holes, were offered in
every direction. The lightning-like way in which all of these
contrivances have disappeared is proof enough of their in-
effectiveness. As one man put the case, "it waB far Bim pier
to dig them out aud kill them with a club." It required
two men to run a smcker with any degree of speed, and
what with carting around the machine, ibe fuel, and other
incidentals, very little progress could be made. In additioo
to this, the machines geneially burnt out after about three
weeks' use, and cost more to repair than they were worth in
the HrBt place.

The carbon bisulphide gas is remarkably effective and
there is no possible danger to stock from its use— with the
possible exception of the man who uses it. It is quite dis-
agreeable to use, however, is very costly and can be very
easily wasted.

We have never found anything to give so much satisfaction
iu the long run as tbe poisoned wheat. If this is used in
reasonable quantities, either on the very edge or jast inside
the squirrel-hole the squirrel* will eat greedily, there is little
-isk cf killing off birds and practically no risk at all of injuring
I ve stock, as the grain soon becomes so scattered that what any
one animal bigger than a squirrel could get hold of would be
little more than a medicinal dose. The material is cheap, it
can be distribu'ed by one man, and does the work as com-
pletely as anything we know of. There are beveral brands
on the market, some of which are perfectly nselesB. At the
Snnther farm we have generally used Wakelee's, and it has
done very good work.

The circular of Robert Ramsbottom, of Manchester,
Eagland, a leading fishing gut importer, is at hand. His
report on the gat crop of 18S8-9 is as follows:

The gut crop of 1888-9, like its predecessor, shows a very
marked increase, amounting to nearly ten millions, or fully
t*enty-tive per cent.

* This is largely accounted for by greatly increased breeding
of silkworms, but they have suffered somewhat from scarcity
of food, and consequently have rarely reached the size from
which the thickest gut is produced. The stock of stoutest
gut, for salmon fishing, will, therefore, be very limited, and
tbis will apply iu an almost equal degree to the very finest
trout gut, the production being no more than an average
crop.

Prices for the current season will be about fifteen per cent
lower on the medium thicknesses, in the various kinds, but
will remain unchanged on the two extremes of finest and
stoutest.

The quality this season is far from uniform, and will de-
mand most judicious selection, or much annoyance will
result, as a large quantity of very inferior gat is being forced
on the market.

CHAPTER XIII.

DICK MEDITATES AND RESOLVES.

If life coald only be arranged as easily a6 we make plans
for its arrangement, living might be a comparatively cheerful
affair. The bother of it iB, otber people have plans as well
as we, and they are not given to asking our advice, either
about tbem or their execution; result, everything at right
angles with the points making havoc.

This reflection does not belong to me. good reader, but to
Dick. It evolved itself one day, just a week after tbe arrival
of Philip's relatives and their friend, when he was sitting on
the left bank of King's Creek, with his briarwood yielding
him a comparatively safe, if rather empty solace, and his
rod and basket doing duty against a charred stump. Osten-
sibly he was here for the purpose of fishiDg; really, he had
not dampened his line this murning, and had uo immediate
inteoiion of doing s'>, although some of the pools were ideal,
and the elude of the canyon delightfully refreshing after the
heat aud dust of the road.

Bat condition of mind is everything; inward perturbation
robs all scenes of peace. And to one in sorrow or disquiet
of any kind, the very Islands of tbe Blest wonld but offer a
fresh excnae for passion or for tears.

Whether Dick were sorrowful or not wonld be difficult to
determine, bat that some cause, near or remote, interfered
with his happiness, might be ascertained from his face
wbi^h was too scowling and dark for the expression of con-
ten* supposed to habitually picture itself on the countenance
of the ideal angler. And, as a certain passionate exaggera-
tion tinged all hie sentiments, it seemed qnite according to
u are that he should include the inoffensive streams of the
n< ghborhood in his general irritation.

,, hat was he doing here anyhow? he queried, forgetful of
iigh anticipations with which he had arrived only a fort-
night ago. He never dirt care for fishing; would give more
for one day on either fork of the American, with trout that
n ad some life and go to them, than for six months among

these paltry shiners. Beside, to be cumbered with a stupid,
spidery fellow like Cummings every Btep! Politeness?
I oil Aud never to get a Bingle turn with Phil, because he
was always pirouetting from one woman to another, and
looked after by his mother as if he were still an infant in
long clothes.

Dick here moved his shoulders, and puffing sharply at his
pipe ventured tbe time-worn reflection that women were
always at the bottom of everything disagreeable anyhow.
He might have concluded with the further thought that what-
ever is best and truest they are also at the bottom of; but he
was in no mood for so charitable a verdict, because he felt
the face -which filled him at once with the fullest happiness
and the deepest sorrow, stealing into his memory Poor
Dick! he alwayB let the happiness pass unnoticed, and dwelt
on tbe sorrow until he grew savage and tried to curb remem-
braoce. In vain! Under full ban, the saucy eyes grew more
real, the delicate, p'ila cheeks more lifelike, until Rachel,
just as we have seen her, sunt out from him tbe May Bun-
ehine, the forest peacefulness, and every hope of enjoyment
in Bport.

Over and over egain he agreed that be did not like positive,
keen-witted women, and tried to fancy a handsome, slow-
moving, non-assertive creature, who knew only obedience
nnd love, bnt Rachel's image still remained in the ascendant,
provoking tenderness against all opt option, until he grew
desperate. Why was there no equality between them? If
he were not an impecunious, unthrifty devil (I cannot be-
come responsible for D.ek's terms, patient reader), living in
a small way, with no hope of anything better until his fiist
yonth was past, would he have more c nrage, and she more
softnesB? The probability was she had been trifling, and
would trifle on to the end.

Right here, to Dick's credit it must be said, that he had
none of the heavy conceit with which Rachel bad credited
him; instead, it flashed into his mind, without knowing her
thought, what a poor part he had played after all, and how
right she would be to estimate him a coward. But half the
time the apparent impossibility of the whole tbing ma-le it
seem as if he had dreamed, thinking, perhaps, of Heine's
lines:

Ein FicMen-Baum steht piDsam

Im Nordeu auf. kahler Rob!
Ihn pchlitefert; mit wisser Decke

Cmbuellen ibm Eis uni Schnee.
Er trail id t von eiuer Palme,

Die, fern im Morgen-Land,
Eiosani uud schweigend trauert

Auf bunnender Fcheu-Wand.

He wished he Hared hope that "Ein^am und schweigend
trauert" was ever applicable to her. No, no, her grace and
brightness forbade the thought. How ridiculous he was
becoming, like a moon gazer who coald do nothing because
his eyes were already fastened on the heavens. Everywhere
it was the same. Sport? Torture! He would pack his
blankets and go home. Philip waB jealous half the time,
and would be glad to be rid of him, and a promise to return
later would easily satisfy ilr. Selden. Worse off he could
nol be, wherever he went.

Arrived at this conclusion, he drew his pipe from his mouth
and sat quite still with bent head while the image of Rachel
grew paramount. It was no use, he could not tight it. The
desire to see her again, to hear her voice banished more rea-
sonable thoughts, and robbed his will of strength. He
seemed drawn to her by a ^band that coiled itself tighter
about him with every effort at release. Was it to be like
tlrs alwayB? No peace, no happiness, only constant scaring
into the blank face of an unsympathetic destiny? How hor-
rible this sense of isolation, of loneliness! How j >yless to
live in a world where all but the one toward whom he muBt
not look touched the surface and cared nothing for the
depths. Depths, weie there any? Had he not fancied some
quality in himself which bore no existence in fact ? Of coarse.
Egoism was cause of half the wretched men in the world. It
would be easy enough to go away. The wings of hope always
made a great flattering for small cause, and wisdom said
"clip them."

As a result of the last meditation he got up deliberately,
put his pipe away, took his rod and basket, and wore off
some irritation with a hand to hand encounter with the tan-
gled coppice that seemed to harbor an inclination to keep
him down by the stream. When he stood, half an hoar
later, on a loose bridge of shakes high above the water, and
was compelled to make choice between a near path straight
across stream and through forest to Myrtle Heights, or a far
walk, around by the highway which passed the hotel, he
chose the latter, giving as an excuse to his offended pride
the reason that by bo doing he was more apt to meet a wagon
and have his walk lessened. But, unluckily for him, it was
nearing the warmest part of the day, when teamsters found
more attraction in shade than in heat aud dust, and so halted
in Lorenzo, and gave thoughtless ramblers no opportunity to
recover ground. As a matter of fact Dick was not Borry, for
he felt in no mood to manifest an interest in one man's mill,
or another man's team, and regarded getting overheated as
a very mild evil compared with grinding out words for value
received. Once in sight of the hotel he forgot everything in
connection with his tramp, and gave a quick, searching look
towards the verandah, hoping and fearing with the impulse
that swayed him. It was entirely unoccupied. And as the
doubt whether he would see what he wished was swallowed
up in the certainty that he would not, desire suggested that,
being tired, it might do better to rest at the hotel and take
luncheon than to rush on to Myrtle Heights and tax Mrs.
Morrison's amiability and the resources of her pantry by a
reluru iu so Quixotic and unexpected a manner.

It was easy to make the jolly landlord comprehend that
the day waB entirely too hot for fisbing, and easier siill lo
persuade him that a hungry man stood in need of a ''bite" at
noon. And good taBte ou his part immediately suggested
that this gentleman, whose knowledge of things piscatorial
was rich and wonderful, mipht liven up an otherwise quiet
luncheon for the three lady guests, wbo had been obligdd to
spend their morning indoors. Dick, however, had not
counted on qnite so extended an interview, a-jd protested,
knowing full well that a flannel fishing shirt and dusty trou-
sers were not exactly the costume in which to pre-
sent himself before so dignified and elegant a dame as Mrs

Wells.

Protests and excuses of such a sort bore no weight with
mine host. "Did not he, on occasion, wear a fl-innel shirt,
and wbo was any better man?" AgatnBt a personal argu-
ment of tbis kind resistance is generally vain, especially if
the resistance be of the linipiug variety, with an undertone
of desire, as I blush to confess it was iu the case nnder con-
sideration. To be quite frank concerning Diok, though, he
was assailed by a bind of absolute fright while being led
across the dining room, until he saw Mrs. Wells put on her
eyeglasses and look at him with disapproval, when his i' de-
pendence announced itself, and he was as Offensively atten-
tive and polite as he dared be and retain his reputation as a
gentleman.

Raobael's mother had never shown any favoritism toward
Dick; but, on the contrary, had wasted much lime in won-
dering why ber daughter would insist ou rating him above
Mr. Cummings, who seemed so much better balanced on the
question of money and position.

' How can you say this man is so bright, my dear?" Bhe
often asked. "Surely we see no evidences of it. He makea
neither fortune nor friends, and brightness of that sort is
most undesinble. These floating men, who come from
nobody knowB where, and go nobody knowB whither, are
always to be avoided. Tbe world exacts something of the
people who live in it, beside the reading of books and express-
ing of opinions. An unsuccessful person has no right to
dictate to those who are doing better.''

Rachel never thought it necessary to explain that Bhe knew
all about Dick's family, and had even seen the house where
he was born, becaase she felt that some other objection wonld
be found. Her mother's opposition to him bad troubled her
in days when they were good friends, and now the sight of
such marked disapproval made her drop her eyes, after the
Brst salutation, and leave the burden of entertainment to
Natalie.

This sister was a large, fair woman very like Philip, except
that her contour was rounder and her head geDerally so full
of chording Bounds that ?he was apt to be stupid in common
places. Dick was rather a favorite here, because, while
knowing no more of musio than a oobia, he had general intel-
ligence enough not to expect too much of her on other topics,
and now and again varied bis talk of Rachel with an allusion
to Mendelssohn's general cleverness, or a sympathetic remark
concerning Beethoven's deafness. None of these happened
to be available subjects for tbe present time, but Dick was not
dismayed. If he lacked musical education he was gifted with
fine perception and a strong love of tbe symphonies of nature.
The Bweet whispering of winds through oak and alder, the
glad voicings of streams through forest and low-land, and tbe
tender thrill of bird voices that add a spirit to the loneliest
gleo, each and all had inscribed on his heart the pure, high
tone of melody that needs no touch of human skill for round-
ness or for strength. And he talked of it all, only as one
who feels can talk, with a quiet intensity that won a glance
from Rachel, disturbed some of Mrs. Wells' convictions, and
aroused in Natalie such appreciation that she involuntarily
exclaimed she wished he were a cousin or a brother for sake
of his rythmical fancies. Whereat Rachel's cheeks t jok on a
delicate pink glow and Dick felt suddenly absurd. This was
an unnecessarily exaggerated state of feelirig on his part, and
came, without doubt, from that inconvenient and disturbing
attribute known as inner consciousness, which has a dis-
agreeable way of announcing its knowledge to the outsido
world, regardless of individual permission or desire. For
conversation being, on the whole, rather a human belonging,
partakes of human quality, and must change as the beam tips
either up or down; and Dick could not expect to escape the
effervescence of Natalie's musical enthusiasm any more than
the non-haman and very juicy, delicious cherry pie thai was
nerved for dessert could avoid the comments on its extra
flavor. But something happened to him at the conclusion of
luncheon that he . had never experienced befor6 — a small,
unaccountably mean sensation shot through his body from
crown to sole, and he questioned of what new foolishness the
next hoar might convict him.

It did not matter that Natalie asked for his company on
the verandah, or that Mrs. Wells, with all the delightful
clearness of which every day converse is capable, ventured
to remark against the expediency of fishing "in the hot sun, '
by way cf giving him permission to remain; the sensation
strengthened and he seated himself with a silent awkward-
ness as annoying as new. Perhaps if Rachel had not shown
such unprecedented haste to leave the dining room and hurry
to the farthest corner of the vetandal fur sake of a wretched
little paper-bound volume, his sense of manly dignity would
not have seemed bo impaired; but as it was he conld do
nothing except occupy the edge of n chair, like an unsettled
fiOg on the border of a spring, and listen with polite attention
to Natalie's slow, sincere and unvenomed comments on the
miserably low taste of the mu6ic-loving public.

"Show me a man in love and I'll Bbow yon an ass," be
said to himself with good old English lucidity, between
every pause, while wondering if Rachel's book were made
np ol funny selections that she smiled so constantly. All
this was unbearable enough when Mrs. Wells sat by and
occassionally dropped in a word, bat when a series of yawns
compelled her to go upstairs for the usual afternoon nap, be
felt like seizing his hat and dashing into the most impene-
trable part of the forest to curse his folly.

Whether by way of leadiug around to departure or not, I
dare scarcely conclude, bat he began impetuously to tell
Natalie of Eri, bow exquisite her voice was, and how one
day while showing him the house, she had entered an unnsed
room aud uncovered a harp that was once her mother's, aud
expressed such sorrow that she haa so slight a knowledge of
an art she felt so 6ure of loving.

As she listened Natalie underwent a marked change, and
became so excited that it was scarcely possible to believe her
the passive looking woman of an hour ago. Odd how an
accidental touch will sometimes cause a deep vibration!

Even Dick was surprised, so surprised, in fact, that his
stinging sensations took themselves off, and without giving
doe thought to his act be invited Natalie to go with bim now
to Myrtle HeightB and Ree and hear for herself. It was
impossible to avoid looking at Rachel as he spoke, aud he
thought he detected a slight — a very sligbt quiver of the
lips.

"Should he ask her to go? No, he would not." But
Natalie, ignorant of his veiled decision, turoed to her sister
and said it waB quite out of the question that they should
go ap rt from her.

Rachel took the invitation very coldly; laid down her
book, yawned, threw an arm above her head, aud finally
looked down at her symmetrical lntle feet iu their pretty
slippers, and Baid it seemed a dreadful bother to put on
bouts. Dick was vexed immediately, as she bad meant bim
tu be, aud asked why she disturbed herself then. Sbe
replied, siucily, that she had not, so far, bnt ft-lt she ninet,
becaase intuition told her the entire afternoon would be
spniled for him if 6be did not.

This was so exactly the truth (although no faintest sus-
picion of it really existed in her mind) that Dick could uot
resist laughiDg and paying, 'Oh, neHr!" in his peculiar way,
with akind of double circnmflex accent oo the dear, although
he was careful, at the same time, not to meet her eyes.

Natalie here began to look anxiously from one to the other,
as if. between them, her castle was in danger of being demol-
ished; but Rachel, mindful of the promise given Mr. Selden,
finally signified a real desire to accompany (hern, f»nd after
one or two more provoking speeches, went with ber sister to
make ready, leaving Dick to gather what comfort he could,
from a few minotes with his pipe. Petronella.

natter of doubt. No work of the kind has appeared Bince that written by Hi cam Woodruff more than twenty-years ago, and Bince then the history of the trotting horoi
year* with the trotters, and that he should write a book in which there will be an uninteresting line is impossible.

BUDD DOBLB

Tells inagTaphic manner the interesting circumstances of how the famous old time trotter, DEXTER, was placed in his hands by Hiram Woodruff when Doble was but a bov; how. in his first race, the youthful
driver made the son o RYSDYK'S HAMBLETONI AN beat his best previous record; how he won rac^s with him at all ways of going— in harness, to wagon, and uunerthe saddle, finally terminating a brilliant turf
career by beating all the trotting records when he went a mile at Buffalo la 2:17!^. The peculiarities of DEXTER as noted by ihe man who trained and drove him, are now made public for the first time and the recital
is one that cannot fail to interest and instruct every man who reads it.

Mr Doblo's name is known the world over in connection with that of the peerless mare. GOLDSMITH MAID, a wonderful animal in more wave than one, and in this book he 1 ts the public know just bow she was
trained for her races with other horses, and her exhibition against time. It was with GOLDSMITH MAID that Mr. Dtble lowered the trotting record to 2: 14, and in addition to being the fastest trotter of her day, she
was also a wonderfully intelligent mare. The story of her life on the turf reads like a romance.

T. J. DUNBAR

The rearing, management, and educationof trotting bred colts lea subject in which not only breeders, but thousands of men in other walks of life who have a fancy for horse flesh are deeply interested, and no man
is better qualified to write on this su ject than Mr. Dunbar, who is Superintendent of the Fashion Stud Farm at Trenton, N. J. That be has done so in a manner that is at once entertaining and instructive will be apparent
to every reader of the book, and this feature of the work is one that must be read to be fully appreciated. Mr. Dunbar is, first of all. a thorough horseman, a first class drivt-r and trainer, and his mind is of the
thoughtful sort and -cMeres good results in any work to which it is applied. In this book he tells just bow a foal should be treated from the hour of its birth until it develops into a full-neaped trotter, *rd at thsaam-
time the narrative is so constructed as to be intensely Interesting even to those who do Lot own a colt. Mr- Robert Bonner Bays that in securing Mr. Dunbar, the editor of the book has made "a decided acquisi-
tion." which is praise enough.

James Golden, Esq., of Boston, was not satisfied with, the
glorious climate of which the Breeder and Sportsman ten-
dered him the freedom, but becoming convinced that he had
nothing in his own stable as good as Arab, he fulfilled a
desire and purchased that game trotter from the cwners
Messrs. Hickok, Ranisdell and Williams, the price stated
being $10,000. Mr. Golden has intimated that the purchase
was made for a Boston gentleman who was willing to pay a
good round sum for a very faBt horse, to use as a road animal,
but there is another ramor current that Arab will be seen on
the big circuit next season, and that the reins will be held
by "Gentleman James." Arab was bred by the late Colonel
Frye, and is by Artharton, dam Lady Hambleton. His best
time is 2:15.

A Race Track for Vallejo.

The good people of Vallejo have finally awakened to the
importance of having a first class race track, and several
meetings hav6 been held in furtherance of the project. Dr.
Trull has been the prime mover in the affair, and deserves
credit for his indefatigable efforts in behalf of the Bport lov-
ing pnblic. A meeting to conclude the necessary arrange-
ments was arranged for yesterday, but at too late an hour
for ns to get a report in this week's Breeder and Sportsman.
The following gentlemen, of Vallejo aud vicinity, are iden-
tified with the track:

MessrB. James Smith, A. J. McPike, J. M. Thompson,
Henry Connolly, John Callender, John Brownlie, D. W. Har-
rier, R. Miller. E. McLees, William Carter, M. Carroll, J.
Corcoran, R. Gore. John Gore, J. McManus, F. M. Denio,
O. L. Henderson, P. C. Lynch, John and Joseph Wilson, J.
Steffen, T. McGrane, Mrs. Drake, Sam Role and others.

The Vallejo Chronicle gives the following description of
the proposed course:

The track as proposed would be one of the best and fastest
in the State. The lay of the ground is excellent, and from
any portion of the grounds a full view could be had of a race.
The track was surveyed by F. W. Simonton eight months
ago, but the field has Bince been in grain, and most of the
stakes have been removed, hence it will be necessary to sur-
vey it again. The length would be 2,100 feet, and the width
840 feet. The entrance would be at the corner of Solano and
Park avenues. The grand Btand would be placed on the
Solano avenue side, and the stables on the Park avenue side

of the grounds . The Board of Trustees will be asked to have
Georgia street opened out to Solano avenue, and when this
is done there will be a straight road from the end of Goorgia
street wharf to the race track entrance.

"The American Dominions."

"Break 0' Day" writing from England to the Chicago
Horseman, says:

Reapectmg the unfounded report that Ormonde had been
sold to the United States, I understand that the Argentine
Republic would have given the sum mentioned for him, and
if he is to be sold at all are to have the first refusal. A con-
temporary has a story to the effect that when the Americans
bought Priam and Glencoe they were anxious to purchase
Touchstone, whioh was owned by the Marquis of West-
minster, the owner of Ormonde's grandfather. Three com-
missioners oame over and asked the price of the thorough-
bred. The answer was, "The American Dominions." The
interview was held at Eaton Hall, and the authority for the
story was the Earl of Wilton, the Marquis' younger brother.

On Breaking Colts.

A few days ago I had a chat with J. T. Dunbar, says Albe-
marle in the N. Y. Spirit of the Times, on handling colls, and
he expressed himself as opposed to this everlasting logging
that so many are knocked out by. When yon start up a
colt in a field and be goeB off on a trot, he moves without
touching a hair, and if he can be brokeo without losing that
way of going a pure gait will be established. The only way
to reach that end is by sharp work at regular iutervols, never
letting a colt get leg weary or tangled np bo that he does not
know where to put his feet. All the youngsters that I have
broken at Fashion Farm are handled that way, and their
gait is established befoe half of them know what is expected
of them. On the other hand, by jogging coltB I find that
they soon loose a big open gait that they have been fortunate
enough to inherit, and in a week or two a pair of Bcalpers
will be required. Then you have to keep your eyes open
every time a colt leaves his feet. Training horses is just the
sa*ne as training men, and no athlete can ever attain anv
records without sharp work and plenty of it. Of course be
must not take enough to make his muscle sore, neither must
a colt, but those same muscles will never stund a severe strain
! if they are not keyed op to it.

cannot be excelled. The fam lies on both sides being
noted for their gameness and fleetness. Speakin of
JUDGE McKINsTRY. Matt Morn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
th.it were marvelous, one especially of a mile anil a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He
was started in several races when not in condition to
run, and eventhen developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well km-wn tj
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us ti
name both sires.

He is of almost unexceptionable form. 15 hands 3
inches iu height, of immense power and substance, and
also of the highest quality.

He was never in "order" to run. and vet he has

NottiUe and Leap Year, the h If mile being run in i<\\
seconds. He has shown quarters in 23 seconds, and is
so stoutly bred thai he could hardly fail to go a dis-
tance at a liigh rate of speed.

His blond lines could not he Improved. His sire.
Young Prince, is the onlv stallion that lean recall
imported from England to the United -States with near
strains of stock well and King Tom blond, these noted

the speedy lines and blood that this state is in need of,
and no stallion now in public service can show a
pedigree with such last records as enrich the blood of
NOONDAY.

men at fair terms. Address

Gp-NTT/RMEN:— We have used Ossidine for the past two years
and consider it invuluabl for oprunt; Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
ind spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effecied a
permanent cure where firing failtd, although perfo met] by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than anv blister ever used.

Very respectfully yours, S. A. BROWNE A Co., Prop's.

This scientific preparation is an absolute
cure for all bony or callous lumps on horses,
and is a more powerful absorbent than "flr-
iug," without creating the slightest blemish.
At er a lew applications the excrescence is so
palpably reduced that even the skeptical
frankly acknowledge that it is by far the moat

ELECTION.

Bred at Palo Alto. Foaled 1884.

It is some time since we presented a picture of an Elec-
tioneer, tbe one preceding the above being that of tbe famous
BuqoI. "To take much space in praise of the get of tbe son
of Hambletonian and Green Mountain Maid would be
rehearsing an oftentimes repeated tale. Conceded to be the
most wonderful trotting stallion of any age when extreme
speed is tbe test, hip progeny with nearly invariable certainty
exhibiting high form. Level-headed, docile, baDdaome, these
are a combination of good qnalities difficult to surpass. The
blood of Electioneer has "nicked" with so many strains that
it would seem that he wsb bound to exert his "potency"
irrespective of the blood of the dams, and when there is
proper form on the side of the mare there is little danger of
disappointment.

That the son, whose picture is presented, has inherited
the family characteristics of good looks, will be readily

acknowledged, and when to the accurate resemblance ls
added the further recommendation of being one of tbe hand-
somest phades of bay, the face lightened with a staT, and three
white feet, with a height of 15A hands, and muscular develop-
ment sufficient to weigh 1,075 pounds, he is altogether a
taking horse. That with three month's training he could
trot a mile in 2:30 also proves that he has fallen heir to speed
lines, and the breeding on the side of his dam will warrant
the expectation that he will "keep on improving" until a
high rate has been reached. The pedigree is aB follows:
Election, bay colt, foaled 18S4, bred at Palo Alto.

BY ELECTIONEER.

First dam Lizzie H. by Whipple's Hambletonion.
Second dam Lizzie Harris by Comus.
Third dam by Arnold Harris.

Comus by Green's Bashaw, his dam bv Prophet, a son of
Hill's Black Hawk.

Green's BaBhaw, by Vermont's Black Hawk (a son of Long
Island Black Hawk), his dam by Tom Thumb; grandam The
Cbas. Kent Mare, the dam of Rysdyk's Hambletonian.

Arnold Harris by Whalebone, from Sportsmistress by
American Eclipse.

Thus Election has two Btraine of the "Hero of Chester,"
with the addition of the blood of both tbe celebrated Black
Hawks, twice in descent from Grand Bashaw, and last,
though not least, an infusion of the champion of his time,
American Eclipse, lbese are all noted families, and few
will deny that tbe tribe which has sprung from the imported
Barb will rank next to tbe descendants of Mamhrino, tbe
greatest son of Messenger. Tbe Vermont Black Hawk
(Hill's) is found in many celebrated horses, bo that will M
exception of Mambrino Chief and Pilot Jr., th6 varion i
are united in tbe subject of this brief sketch.

Thoroughbred in the Trotter— Both Sides.

Harvey W. Feck.

Over this subject the "hoss" writers of late years have
lashed themselves into impotent and vigorous rage. The
believers in the efficacy of thoroughbred blood have held
their own against all comers. The editors and authors who
decry "runniug foolishness" are bitter and uncompromising
in their opposition and arguments. While there are some
conservative ones who appreciate the merits of both sides, the
great mass are radical, either oDe way or the other. Some
like a mixture of hot blood, bnt about two removes from the
ideal trotter they are coDjuring up in their minds. These
gentlemen assume a wise air, and say loftily, llXeB, yes,
about the grandam you know; can have her nearly thorough-
bred, but don't want it any closer." Another eays plain-
tively, "If I wish to breed a trotter would I go to running
blood; Does running blood trot?" While a third touches
the harp us follows: "You see, ranning horses have been
trained to gallop for generatkns. They have inherited this
tendency from ancestor's trained to gallop, and gallop fast.
It is natural to BUppose that no benefit could accrue from
crossing thoroughbred and trotter close up."

It is seemingly stranae that any man of intelligence, bent
upon ascertaining the troth, unbiased by previous teachings,
sufficiently honest to follow his convictions to a logical con-
clusion, c.n not see both sides. The most substantial evi-
dence that can be adduced is found in the records of past
years. A. man who claims that faster, gamer, and greater
race horses have come from a trotting 6ire, coupled with a
mare by a thoroughbred horse, advances an argument that
has no foundation in fact. Again, the man who claims that
the greatest, fastest and most level headed campaigners have
been those who could boast no running blood in their veins,
(or if any, far removed), states something the past years do
not substantiate. Between tLe two, honors are easy. I shall,
before I leave this subject, mention a list of stallions whose
fastest performer was from a mare sired by a running bred
or thoroughbred horse.

Before, however, touching this list, I would call the atten-
tionlof horsemen and amateurs alike to a horse Known to some
as Seeley's American Star. This hotse was foaled in 1S37.
He was sired by Stockholm's American Star, owned and run
as a race horse, producing Seeley's American Star at the age
of 14 years. Stousholm'd American star was a son of Duroc.
The dam of Seeley's American Star was a mare called Sally
Slouch by Henry, ana her dam was by imp. Messenger.
This horse Henry, it will be remembered, was ore of the con-
testants in the great race in 1823, waen the Northern men
defied the world with American Eclipse. The Southern
gentlemen produced Henry, and a race at four rmles heats
took place tbat has been called by Borne authorities the most
memorable event of American turf history. HeDry won the
tirst four mile heat in 7 minutes 37f seconds, Eclipse win-
ning the nest two heits and the race. While therefore
Seeley's American Star may not with propriety be termed
technically thoroughbred — in our day hve removes of
thorough blood on both sides constituting a thoroughbred —
he was certaiuly a running bred horse, sired by a race
horse; his dam sired by a race horse; his grandam sued by a
race hor=e. Mr. H. T. Helm, an instructive and and pains-
taking writer, has ihis to say in his work tntitled 'American
Roadsters and Trotting Hoises."

"Hambletonian (Rysdyk:s) achieved much of his fame from
the produce of Star mares. He hed access to many of them,
as their sire had spent most of his life in the same country,
and as a family they weie already noted for the high trotting
qualities wnich have since distinguished the union of the
bloods. The combination that gave us Dexter, Jay Gould,
Socrates, Huntress, Startle, Dictator, Gauntlet, Wilkin's
Micowber, Aberdeen, and a long list of other celebrities, are
possessed of great speed, bottom and game to the very last,
is one well worthy of the most careful study. High breed-
ing is the first characteristic that strikes the beholder. No
horse can show a more genuine thoroughbred type to-day
than Dexter. {Mr. Helm wrote this 13 jears ago, before
Dexter's death.) In point of temper, unflinching courage
and game to the point ot desparation, no thorougbbred
family can surpass them. For ready trotting action, true
poise of body, steady stroke, and all -that makeB up purity
of gait in a trotter, they stand as a family without a rival or
a peer. In point of form they are a wide departure from
that of Hambletonian and the average of his family. They
are smaller and finer in form. The Abdallah features of the
head are displaced by one of a thoroughbred caste, full of
tire and beauty."

American Star is to-day conceded one of the greatest brood
mare sires the world has ever seen. Star, Pilot Jr., and
Sayre's Harry Clay are the great brood mare sires outside
Kysdyk's Hambletonian. American Star to-day leads the
quartette, tie is at present the sire of the dams of the fol-
lowing trotters, forty in all:

It will be seen that this list comprises some of the greatest
race-horses and campaigners that have appeared on the
American trotting track The adherents of no "running
foolisbniFB" can hardly be compelled to acknowledge that a
trotter's dam was sired by a thoroughbred or running-bred
horse. They even carry it to such a strait that before they
will acknowledge it, tbey will write "unknown" after the
dam. This course is pursued by John H. Wallace, the editor
of "Wallace's Monthly," and th6 compiler of the Trotting
Kegister. Mr. Wallace ib very positive in his views, aDd his
dislike of hot blood in the trotter is deep sealed, but it would
lo^k better to say dam by Lexington, dam by Lance, when
tl.ere was a reusonable assurance of its correctness, than to
pat "dam unknown!"

Mr. Helm is another very pleasant and agreeable writer
ho will not down where proof ieofferel. In speaking of
Ldwerd Everett, a stallion aired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
..id whose dam was by imp. Margrave, second dum by
l.umpalor, third dam by Lindsay's Arabian, etc. Mr. Helm
acknowledges that Everett had a skin of the tinest texture,

and a coat of hair whose glossiness was not equaled by any
son of the Bame sire that he had seen, he nevertheless refuses
to believe that a horse bred that way could sire as many
meritorious trotters as Everett did, all from common mares. I
Judg6 Fcllerton was one, sired by Everett, from a mare of
unknown breeding, and in a country and at a time when
there was not a tithe of the good mares we now have. All
horsemen know Fnllerton was a lasting and game cam-
paigner. Mr. Helm contends that he can measure a horse's
bones and tell as mnch or more of his blood than could his
breeder. To be sure he don't say so, but such is the infer-
ence.

It is a trifle amusing to see men at this day and age, who
dislike excessively to state that a great horse's dam was sired
by a running horse, write up some horse and call him strictly
ttotting-bred— "sired by Geo. Wilkes, dam by American
Star! !" He exclaims triumphantly, "There's the kind of
pedigree I like. Don't contain any running blood, etc."
American Star was quite a trotter, but may I be allowed to
ask if he had any trotting blood in him?

I would not have any reader suppose that I am all upon
the side of warm blood, and think the way to raise trotters is
to breed trotting stallions to thoroughbred mares. A horse
whose dam is by Eysdyk's Hambletonian, Almont, Geo.
Wilkes, Dictator, Electioneer or Happy Medium ib quite good
enough for me. But I do contend that for road horses
especially, a strong dash of thoroughbred gives a tine coat of
hair, a bony, tine head, hard legB and good feet, and an abil-
ity to come back from the other end of the road.

It would seem appropriate to mention the name of Mam-
hrino Patchen in this connection. His sire was Mambrino
Chief and his dam was by Gano! He was full brother to the
great early day trotter, Lady Thorn, 2:1S}! Here is a horse
sired by a trotter — and that trotter out of a running-bred
mare! His dam was a thoroughbred mare by Gano I am
one of the people who believe, and unchangably believe, that
imported Messenger was thoroughbred. There is no dispute
of this fact by anjbody until we reach his great grand sire
Samp3on. There are men in the world who claim that on
account of color, size, and general appearance Sampson could
not be a son of Blaze, as the Stua Book states, and as the
best proof would inoicate. Whenever a man endeavors to
monkey over a horse with a tape line, and tell his breeding
from its measurements, that man is outside his jurisdiction!
Therefore, I call Gano a thoroughbred, for, in my estimation,
the fact that Miller's Damsel, the dam of Eclipse, was by Mes-
senger, cuts no figure in the matter. Even were these theor-
ists correct, Gano would be about Bixty-three sixty-fourths
thoroughbred. The reason I mention Mambrino Patchen in
this connection is, that some time since Beveral Eastern horse
papers called attention to Senator Stanford's attempt to breed
trotters from thoroughbred mares. One of them said in effect,
"Who would want to buy a son of Electioneer from a thor-
oughbred mare? Suppose he could trot fast, and was a stal-
lion of elegant appearance! What horseman in these Eastern
States would breed to him?"

Now, Mambrino Patchen had fully as much thoroughbred;
fully as much "running foolishness" in his pedigree as a son
of Electioneer, from a thoroughbred mare, would have! It
would appear, also, that Mambrino Patchen was quite a sire
of trotters (having at this writing Bired fourteen with records
from 2:204 to 2:30). His greatest reputation, however, has
been achieved as a brood-mare sire. Mares by Mambrino
Patchen stand at the front end of the proctssion as brood-
mares, and are to-day among the highest priced aDd most
saught after. He haB sired the dams of 21 trotters and one
pacer, with records from 2:15} to 2:30. This would seem to
indicate that a horse bred that way was Dot exactly a total
and dismal failure.

In the realm of brood-mares I will cite two individuals, not
that they are the only odos to be found, but because I have
them in mind. The fir=t mare is Alma Mater. It is unnec-
essary for me to state to all horsemen that she is one of the
great brood-mares! She is the dam of Alcantara, 2:23;
Alcia, 2:29; Alcyone, 2:27; Arbiter, 2:30; Almeta, 2:31};
Ailme, trial 2:26}. This would mark her aB quite a brood-
mare. How is sne bred? Sired by Mambrino Patchen, dam
Entrella by imp. Australian; second dam Fannie G. by imp.
Margrave;* so on through 16 or 17 other thoroughbred dams.
The dam of Alma Mater then was certainly thoroughbred.
The dam of Mambrino Patchen, her sire, was thoroughbred.
This would make Alma Mater three-fourths thoroughbred.
She seems a very fair brood-mare nevertheless!

The second mare is Columbine, by A. W. Richmond, dam
Columbia (thoroughbred), by imp. Bonnie Scotland, so on
through a dozen other thoroughbred mares. A. W. Rich-
mond was sired by Blackbird, by Camden, son of Shark.
Richmond's dam by Rittler, second dam by Spotted Ranger.
This mare Columbine then, is one-half thoroughbred, and
about two-thirds of the other oDe-half running bred and
thoroughbred combined. She is the dam of Anteeo 2:16},
and Antevolo2:19£, and per consequence eDJoys the distinc-
tion of beiDg the only mare in America that is the mother of
two entire horses that have records better than 2:20!! There
are two or three of her produce yet to hear from. Anteeo ib
to-day the fastest son of Electioneer, either stallion or
gelding.

American Clay was sired by Cassius M. Clay, Jr., dam
(dam of Conscript) by Imp. Tranby. He has sired the dams
of ten trotters and one pacer, with records from 2:18} to
2:28}. lie hap sired three trotters, and is the Bire of Alta,
who has two performers in 2:30, and Magic, who has four in
the list.

I will now take up the best performers of certain stallions.
Kate Sprague2:l8, by Gov. Sprague, is hiB best performer,
not ouly having the fastest record, but having trotted three
times as many 2:30 heats as any other trotter sired by him.
Her dam was Fan, by Lance, a running bred horse. Ham-
bletonian's two best performers were Dexter 2:17}, and
Nettie 2:18. They were the fastest and most enduring of
his get. The dams of both were by Seeley's American
Star, running bred. Maxie Cobb 2:13}, the fastest entire
horse by the record;the world has yet Been, had a dam sired
by a part bred horse. Conde 2:20, by Abbotsford, is his
fastest and only trotter with a record of 2:30 or better. His
dam ib the well-known mare Katy Tricks, by Colonel. Katy
is nothing, if not a rnnuing bred mure.

Clark Chief's best performer is Croxie 2-19}, whose dam
was by Little Priam, running bred.

Daniel Lambert's best performer by Iode odds was Comee
2:19}. He trotted seventy-one heats in 2:30 or better,
double the number of any other of hiB get. His dam was
by Hiawatha, strictly running bred, and claimed by some
authorities to be thoroughbred.

Belle Echo was far and away the best of Eobo'a produce.
She was a campaigner and rac-horse. Htr dam was hy
WilliamHon's Bt-lmont, thoroughbred. Gen. Knox's best
performer was Lady Maud 2:18}. Ber dam was by Saleck,
running bred. Pilot, Jr. scored his fastest performer in
John Morgan 2:24, whose dam was by Medoc. Mambrino
I Chief's only great performer was Lady Thorn 2:18$, her dam

being Gano, a thoroughbred. Jennie Witherspoon is the
fastest and best campaigner by Almont. Her record is 2:16}.
Her dam was by Gough's Wagner, a running bred horse.

King Wilkes 2:22}, lifted himself out of the depths by
siring Oliver K. 2:16}. Oliver's dam was by Virginius, son
of Lexington, second dam by a son of American Eclipse.
The records attest the fact that Oliver K. was quite a trotter
himself. Lucy 2:18}, was the fastest of the produce of Geo.
M. Patchen. She trotted three times as many heats in 2:30
or better than all the rest of hiB offspring combined. Her dam
was by Mayday, son of Henry, second dam by Prizefighter,
son of Imp. Expedition.

I could quote many other instances of like character.
The above, however, is sufficient to illustrate the matter, j
will now call your attention to a line of blood differing
somewhat from the above. I will state before leaving this
subject, that it would be an interesting study to trace the
blood lines of Goldsmith Maid 2:14. It is well known that
she trotted more heats in 2:30 or better, and tbat she won
more money than any other American trotter. I am ac-
quainted with men who would be surprised to find out her
exact breeding.

I wish now to call your attention to Lady Patriot, the dam
of Volunteer, Sentinel, MarkBman, Kernel's Hambletonian,
Heroine, Green's Hambletonian, etc., etc. Volunteer was
recognized as in many respects the greatest sire of racehorses
that ever lived, and not many years ago figured as the pre-
mier stallion of America. His get were noted for their game
and lasting characteristics. They were not early trotters, but
when thej did arrive they came to stay. Volunteer's pro-
duce are well-known racehornes ana money horses. It is
coDceded by all writers of ability that the Volunteers' dif-
fered widely from any other liDe of the Hambletonian family.
They were gamer, finer-haired, and showed apparently more
thoroughbred. H. T. Helm says VoluDteer looked like a
thoroughbred, though a powerful one. His neck was loog
and slender, (being four inches longer than his sire'?), his
head was fine and bony, his legs and feet less coarse, with
that hard and close-grained look that an infusion of hot
blood generally gives. Sentinel 2 :29£, his full brother, was
considered, in his day, the leading stallion of his section.
He was in the stud but a few seasons, dying, I think, when
about nine years old, yet he sired eight trotters, and most of
them were of the right sort. Green's Hambletonian, Hert-
zel's Hambletonian, and MarksmaD have all sired a trotter
or two, while Heroine is the dam of Shawmut 2.-26, by
Harry Clay. Lady Patriot was a runniog bred mare. I
find no other line of blood in her except running blood.
She waB in some respects one of the greatest brood mares
that ever lived. A study of her blood and offspring would
prove interesting to the "running" foolisbDeBB men.

I would next call your atteotion to WoodbiDe, by the
thoroughbred horse Woodford. She is the dam of \Voodford
Mambrino 2:2H, and Wedgewood 2:19. One of these stal-
lions was sired by Mambrino Chief, and the other by Alex-
ander's Belmont. Both will be recognized by horsemen aa
two vtry game and reliable racehorses. The races of Wood-
ford Mambrino are memorable, while it is claimed that
Wedgewood weDt through the circuit without even losing a
heat. Woodford Mambrino is the sire of a d^zen trotters,
and of eight sires, that have in turn sired twenty-seven
trotters, among these sons being Pancoast and Princepa.
Pancoast is the sire of Patron 2:14}, and others, while Prin-
ceps conjfcs to the front with seventeen or eighteen trotters,
with records from 2:14 to 2:30. Wedgewood ie rapidly com-
ing forward as a valuable sire, Laving several in the
"charmed circle," among whom is Favonia 2:15! His son
Nugget is the sire of Nettle Leaf 2:24}, and Newton 2:28},
both acquired as four-year-olds. It would look to a man up
a tree as if these two stallions had been very successful both
as trotters and as sires.

Golddust(150 — Dorcey's) was sired by Vermont Morgan,
daiu by Imp. Zilcaadi (Arabian). This horse was a great
early day stallion. He sired four trotters, the slowest having
a record of 2:25, and from that down to 2:16}. He produced
seven sons, who figure as the sires of seven trotters. He
also sired the dams of seven trotters and one pacer. This is
certainly a praiseworthy showing for a horse of Golddost's
opportunity. From a mare by Imp. Sythian, whose dam
was Sally Russell, by B3StL>n Golddust, produced the stallion
Zilcaadi Golddust. This latter stallion was the sire of
Cigarette, the dam of Rosaline Wilkes 2:14}! Rosaline is the
only trotter that I know of by Conn's Hurry Wilkes. She
certainly has extreme speed. Zilcaadi Golddust may be
considered three-quarters thoroughbred, as he is thorough-
bred and Arab combined.

Almonarch. by Almont, dam thoroughbred by LexiDgton',
secoDd dam by Imp.. Sythian, etc., is the third bire, numeri-
cally, of all the entire hoises of his illustrious family.
While he has two ahead of him, he has 23 or 24 behind him.

Lula 2:15, whose" dam was by Imp. Hooten, was a great
race mare, and one of the few trotters who beat Goldsmith
Maid a race, and that by fairly out-trotting her, though the
Maid finished at her best clip, and fought out every heat
wiih the tenacity of a bull-dog.

CassiuB M. Clay's only trotter was Geo. M. Patchen 2:23J,
whose dam was sired by a son oflmp. Trustee. He is koown
as a great racehorse, and he sired trotters, and his son, Geo.
M. Patchen, Jr., sired twice as many as bis sire did. This
horse, aB I have previously stated, sired Lucy 2:18}, out of a
mars by Mayday. Lucy was a grand mare.

This is as far as I desire to carry this subject. In opposi-
to this treatise can be produced an equally stroDg list whose
foundation was "trottiDg blood." This teaohes that all the
equine greatness of our fair laud is not bound up within the
hides of a certain family of horses, or a certain line of blood,
and when a man develops into a "one-idea" man, he usually
is a complete and dismal failure; a nuisance to himself, and
an annoyance to his friends.

How Rifleman Beat Four Minutes.

In the winter of 1S62-63, Senators'Doll, McNabb, Bryant,
Crawford, Atkison and others were in the habit of trotting
and running their horses around the hotel stove at Sacra-
mento. Doll had but lately come into the sole possession of
Rifleman, the son of imp. Glenooe, now better known or
remembered among trotting horsemen as the Bire of Col.
Lewis, 2:18$, when McNabb boldly averred the opinion tbat
this tboroughbred could trot a little bit. Doll laughed at
McNabb's horse-lore; but finally the latter bantered bim into
accepting a wager of a basket of champagne that Rifleman
could trot under four minutes without further preparation.

The following Sunday saw a buss-load of horsey legislators
on the wav to the track to enjoy the fluid contents of the
basket at Mctfabb's expense. Rifleman was warmed up a bit
and then started (under saddle, of coarse) ou his trip, which
he accomplished, to the surprise and discomfiture of Doll,
with several seconds to spare. The basket was broken, bnt
not at McNabb's expense.

Of The

PRISON.

The Frison is Less Wise than the English, but no Horse
goes better in the Mannage, either upon the Ground, Terra
a Terra, or in all Ayre s; and no Horse is of more Use, either
for a Single Combat on Horse Back, or in the Warrs for the
Shock.

He is Hardy, can Live of any Thing, and will Endure
either Heats or Colds; and on no Horse whatsoever doth a
Man Appear mora a Sword-Man, than on this Horse, being
po Quiet, so Bold, and so Assured.

He is also Manly, and Fit for Every thing but Running
Away; though he will Run fast for a while, yet. I doubt, not
Long; because his Wind is not like that of Barbs: Yet a
Heavy man Well-Armed upon a Barb, and the same Weight
upon a Dutch-Horse, the Dutch Horse's Strength is so much
Above the Barb's, as, Compared thus, I believe the Dutch
Horse may Run as Fast, and as Long as the Barb; for the
Barb's Wind serveth to no Purpose, when his Strength is
not able to Carry his Weight: And thus the Barb will want
his little Light Jockey on him, with a couple of Trenchers
for a Saddle, and a Lute-String in hia Mouth for a Bitt.

OF THE

DANEMARK and HOLLAND
HORSE.

The Denmark-Horse is an Excellent Horse, in the same
Kind, and commonly Apter to Learn, and Leighter: There
are mores Leapii g-Horses of these Countries und Kinds, than
of any Horses in the World.

But now, to make more Profit, they Geld all in Holland,
for Coaches, and to keep the Trade, sending Five Thousand
every Year into France, and diverse other Places, that you
can hardly gtt a Stone-Horse worth any thing; their Colts at
two ¥ears old Springs their Mares, and then they Geld them;
bo, Avarice spoyls tbeir Breed. A Town will Joyn, and give
above Two Hundred Ponnds for a Stallion; but then he Covers
all the Mares that belong to that Town, like a Town-Bull.

OF THE

ALMAIN, or GERMAN
HORSE.

Those that Write, That they are like Flanders Horses, are
much Deceived; they mean the common Country 'Cart-Horse:
But let me Inform them; there are few Princes in Germany,
but have Excellent Races, and Breeds of Horses; and their
Stallions are alwayes either Coursers of Naples, Spanish
Horses, Turks in Abundance, and Barbs; and Breeding of
these StalliODS, their Mares come to be very Fine, like their
Sires, and very Pure Breeds.

I had one. no Neapolitan in the World like him, for Shape,
Stature, Colour, Strength, Agility, and Good Nature; He
would make Thirty two Capriols, the Highest that ever I
saw, and tbe Justest, without any Help in the World; and
then upon the Ground, to Gallop and Change, and go Terra
a Terra, it was another Action than ever any other Horse
did, being in some Manner above the Rate of Horse-Kind:
This was a German Horse, but his Sire was a Courser of
Naples.

I had once two Horses of the Count of Oldenburg's rooBt
Excellent Breed, as Fine Horses as ever I saw, and One was
the Hopefullest that conld be seen. That Prince was
Pleased to Present those Horses to me, and said, If I Liked
tbem not, he would send me Others: which was like a
Prince, and most GenerouB. Thd Prince of West-Friesland
did also Send me a very Fine Eorse.

Of The
COURSER of NAPLES.
'I Have not seen Many of them; but. La Broue, in his
Book, sayes, That tbe Race was mightily Decayed; and that
was almost a Hundred Years ago: And Plovinel, in his
Book, sayes also, That we have not now such Neapolitans as
we have had; for alt the Races are Bastarded and Spoyled.

The Arch-Duke Leopold, when he Governed the Countries
of Flanders, Brabant, &c. sent into Italy for Eight or Ten
Coursers whilst I was at Antwerp, which. Cost him above
Three Hundred Pounds a Horse, Journey and all. They
were Great vast Horses, with Huge Heads, and Thick Necks;
Heavy, with no Spirit in the World, nor any Strength; Dull
heavy Jades, fitter for a Brewers-Cart than the Saddle: And
the Marqness De Carasene, a Spaniard, that Governs all
those Countries, a little Man, but both Witty, and Wise; an
Excellent Soaldier, both for Conduct and Courage, and a
Good Horse-Man (which Few Spaniards are) and my very
Noble Friend, told me. That the last Warrs in Naples hath
Rained the King of Spain's Race of Horses in that King-
dom; but that they began now to Repair it, and that he
Hoped within Fourteen Years it may be Established as for-
merly it hath been.

Thus you see Things do not Stand at a Stay: for what
hath been Formerly, is not so now; as in the Neapolitan,
and in all the rest of the Races of Italy, which are Decayed.
The Duke of Florence hath the Best Race at this Time in
those Parts.

OF THE
TURKISH HORSE.

I Have seen very Few of them; but, Two Merchants
brought Three Tnrkish Horses to Antwerp, very Fine Horses,
but Oddly Shaped; their Heads were very Fine, but like a
Camel's Head: They had Excellent Eyes, and Thin NeckB,
excellently Risen; somewhat great Bodies; the Croup like a
Mules; Leggs not Great, but marvellous Sinewy; good Pas-
toros. and good Hooffs; and their Backs risen somewhat
like a Camel.

I had a Groom, a, Heavy English Clown, whom I set Upon
them, and they made no more of him, than if be had been
as Leight as a Feather.

Tuey appeared not so Fit for the Mannage, as for to Rnu a
Course, which, I believe, they would have Scoured; they
Trotted very Well, and no Ambling at all.

The Horses atoat Constantinople, Mr. Blundevil sayes.
Are very ill-favoured-JaHes; but he was mightily Deceived
with his Old Authors: For. I have Spoken with many Gen-
tlemen that have been There, as likewise with diverse Mer-
chants that came from Thence; who all Agree, That there
are There, the most Beautifull-Horses in the SVorld; Baying,
That in Soyl-Time, there are many Hundred Teddered, and
bo Shift Places when they have Eaten that Bare: Every
Horse hath a Mao to Look to him, and every Man a little
Tent to Lie in; and they say, That it is one of the most
Glorious Sights to see those Horses that can be; and the
most Beautiful Horses in the World. And certainly they are
Brave Horses!

The Price of One of these Horse?, is about a Hundred, or
a Hundred and Fifty Pounds a Horse; and there is great
Difficulty to get a Pass; foT the Giaud Signor is very Strict,
in not Suffering any of his Horses to Go out of his Terri-
tories.

When that Difficulty is Over, there is Another; which is,
If you have not a Turk or Two, for your Convoy, they will
be Taken from you by tbe '«Vay: There is also the Difficulty
of a Long Journey, and the Danger of Sickness, or Laming;
Far, you must come Thorow Germany, which is a Long
Way; and you must have very Careful Men to Conduct Ihem,
a good Groom, an Expert Farrier; and by no Means, to suffer
any to Shoo tbem but Him; for when they perceive there is
a Fine Horse, they will Hire a Farrier to Pries: him, or
Spoyl him, that they may have him: Which is Practiced
dayly.

OF THE
ARABIAN HORSE.

He is Nurst with Camels-Milk; there are the straDgest
Reports in the World of those Horses; fori have been Told
by many Gentlemen of Credit, and by Many-many Mer-
chants, That the Price of Right Arabians is, One Thousand.
Two Thousand, and Three Thousand Pounds a Horse, (an
Intolerable, and an Incredible Price) and that the Arabs are
as Careful, and D.ligent, in Keeping the Genealogies of their
Horses, as any Princes can be in Keeping any of their own
Pedigrees.

They Keep the Genealogies of their Horses with Medalls;
And when any of their Sons come to be Men, then their
Fathers give them Two Sutes of Armes with Two Cymeters,
and one of these Horses, and Prayes to. God to Bless *hem;
That i$ every ones Portion, and his Horse Lyes alwayes in
the Next Room to him. (I believe, not Above StaireB). They
Talk, they will Ride Fourscore MileB in a Day, and never
Draw the Bridle; When I was Young, I could have Bought
a Nagg for Ten Pound, that would have done as much very
Easily .

I never saw any but one of These Horses, which Mr. John
Markham, a Merchant, brought Over, and said, He was a
Right Arabian: He was- a Bay, but a Little Horse, and no
Rarity for Shape; for I have seen Many English Horses farr
Finer. Mr. Markham sold him to KING JAMES for Five
Hundred Pounds; and being Trained ap for a Course, when
he came to Run, every Horse Beat him.

OF THE
HUNGARIAN HORSE.
They are not Worth speaking of; but if you will Believe
those of that Nation, they will Magnifie them Extreamly;
and so will all Nations whatsoever Mightily Commend their
Own Horses: But I have Seen Hungarian Horses, and They
are not worth Commendations, I assure you.

Horses are the Bravest Horses in the World, which I have
not Faith to Believe: For, when we say, (and it hath been
an Old Saying) That the Poland Horse is the Beet Horse in
the World; we mean the Men to Fight on Horse-back, and
not the Horses.

To be Continued.

OF THE
POLANDER HORSE.

When the King of Polund Sent an Extraordinary Embas-
sadour, with Many of his Nobility and Gentry of Poland, to
Conduct the Princess Mary, Eldest Daughter to the Duke of
Nevers, from Paris, to Poland to be bis Queen, I was then at
Paris, and Saw his Entry; which was one of the most Glori-
ous, and Manly Sights that Ever I saw, after the Polack
Way, with very Rich Clothes, Polack Capps, and great
Feathers; and all the Masters of Academies were Commanded
to Wait on the Embassadour, with All their SchoUars. and
Horses, in their Rich Clothes and Saddle?, all A la Mode,
their Manes fall of Ribbons.

I Protest, in comparison of the Polacks, they Lookt like
Hobby-horses; not but that tbeir Horses were Better; the
Difference was meerly in tbe Manly Habit of the Polander6,
who were also very Rich.

Bnt their Horses I do not like at all; for they are. for tbeir
shape, just as tbe common and ordinary H^raesand Geldings
in England ; and the Buts they Use, are juot like onr Snaffles,
and have only Rings for the Bridle to be Fastned to, as Oar**
are, wanting those little Crosses that ours have: Bnt if you
will Believe tbe Polanders, they will tell vou, That their

English Nomenclature.

By Gam,
At least a score of times in each twelve months, that esti-
mable journal the N. Y. Spirit has some paragraph Be the
naming of horses, and keeps hammering away at the Ameri-
can breeders to give the young ones distinctive titles. Now
far be it from me to decry such good intention?, for I am
willing to confess that the jerky haphazard way many of the
colts and fillies are named in this country is simply a dis-
grace, and ignorance is no excuse for the breeder or owner
who would call a son of Sir Modred, John Smith, or a
daughter of Firenyi, Kansas City. Yet st'll the Spirit claims
that English breeders study nomenclature, and that but two
or three of the Americans pay any attention to the matter.
Now, out of curiosity I have waded through the pages of
the English stud book, and come to tbe conclusion that the
breeders on the other side of the big pond are as bad, or
even worse than those on this side of the water. It is true
within the past twenty years, nomenclature has improved
wonderfully in England, but within the same time it has
improved equally in this country. I should like to see an
American who would name his horse Bloody Buttocks, I'm-
Sure-He-ShanTt or Jack-come-tickle-me, and as the fifteen
volumns abound in many such oddities, the readers of the
Beeedek and Sportsman* who have never seen the stud
book may be interested in knowing a few of the names that
seemed amusing to the writer.

Lady Cow was aptly named, being a daughter of John
Bull, but Lady Legs and the Duchess of Limbs were not
related, except distantly. Little Devil was 1 full brother to
Kill Devil, by Rockingham, dam Nelly, but there is no trace
of that blood in Dare Devil,

Let's-be-jogging, was a celebrated filly in the stable of Sir
Thomas Gascoigne, while Little-Thought-On and Look-about-
Yoa, -were two cracks when Sir Thomas was a boy. From
1725 to 1730 the Castaway mare had foals regularly, but
froai then until 1738 she was barren, when upon her casting
a foal the youDgster was named Long-looked-For. Louse
and JUousecatcher were not related, but should have been.
Bag-of-Bones, Cock-a-doodle-do and Conscientious Juryiran
were hardly any worse than Here-I-go-with-my-eye-out or
Dnchess-of-old-Humbug. Jock-the-Laird's-Brother was so
called from his being a full brother to The Laird, a great
race horse about the year IS20. Nobody and Somebody had
the same Ham, but Orange and Lemon had no blood relation-
ship. Orange-Squeezer and Lemon-Squeezer were dam and
daughter, but Beggar Boy and Beggar Girl were not kin.

The Cat family were all great race horses, so it does not
seem surprising to see Puss, Kitten, Pussy, Pussy Cat,
Black Cat, etc., but it does look odd to see QoaiL Grouse,
Mallard, Pigeon aud DuckliDg. Brandy Nan and Brandy
Bet lived many years apart, still had no like blood lines, and
it is probably unnecessary to say that Brown Teapot and
Caifacaratadaddera were not of the same family. Dot and
Go-one, Painted Lady, Penny Trumpet, Toil-and-Trouble
and Worse-and-Worse, were all worthy of better names for
they were good horses in their day.

One would naturally suppose that Pot8's, Turnips,
Lettuce and Mushroom must have been owned by vegetable
dealers, and the medical and pharmaceutical societies
were represented by Doctor, Quack, Physician, Chamomile,
Peppermint and Pennyroyal: and they mast have had a very
honest lot on the turf in olden times, for Lord Lowther
called his son of Bustle, Beggar-my-neighbor.

In Black-and -all-Black we have a very appropriate name
for one of Mr. D. D. Withers' colts, yet Bull-calf would
hardly answer for any racehorse of the present day. The
Burning Beauty was a great horse, and the name much nicer
than Cocky-ride-a-rouzie. Fancy Sam Whitehead of San
Francisco, or Dave Johnson of New York offering odds on a
horse with a name like that.

I have heard quite a number of ladies say that the owner
of Brookdale was inclined to be improper because he named
the Chamois filly Chemise, yet he had a good precedent, as
Sir William Maxwell named a daughter of Cutty Sark
Chemisette. I-wish-you-may-get-it, does not seem a desirable
cognomen for an American thoroughbred, but it may have
satisfied the English breeder, and I-am-not-aware, was a colt
by Tranby, who was no better named than Lord-catch-him-
who-can. Unfortunate Youth, Wait-a-while, Anything-you-
like, and Angel -of -the-rock, are some more of peculiar selec-
tion, all of them, however, being better than Ask Mamma,
Bab at the Bowster, Bloodsucker, and Chicken come-clock.
Stuff-and-Nonsense and Dowu-with the-Dust might not be
inappropriate for some of the short horses which run on the
Pacirio Coast. When his owner named Dear-at-a-eift, he
evidently thought but little of his filly, and Good for NothiDg
would have answered nicely last year for Broughton, Blaze Ban
orArgo. Without question the owner of I'll-gang-nae-mair-
to-yon-toan was a Scotchman, and the owner of Ladye-of-
Silverkeldwell must have been in love when he named his
mare. Many American papers have mentioned the odd
name given to the son of Musket, Son-of-a-gun, still there
has been a horse named the same in England many years
a.jo, he was by Artillery, dam Alice Gray. At a sale at
Tattersall's in 1S62, a mare named The Unprotected Female
was disposed of to Mr. S. H. Stewart, and in 1864 she cast a
foal that was afterwards culled The Maiden All Forlorn.
Vingt'un and Seven-and-a-half are found, showing that these
games were then popular enoagh to warrant the names being
used. Religion was a colt thought a good deal of, but The-
I devil-to-pay did not amount to much.

Tbe Fiddler's Wife, My Grandfather's Clock, aud Who
I Dare Say Boo, seem peculiar, while I also fiod Mustard, and
Pepper and Salt. The drinking community is represented
I by Drunkard, Whiskey, Gin Drinker, Fire Water, and John
Barleycorn, while tbe blue ribbon people have The Sober
Boy. California was evidently in the namer's mind when he
called his rilly The Golden West; while an American bit of
slang is found in the name of Mr. H. E. Linde's mare She-
takes-the-Cake. It may be interesting to the lovers of tbe
trotting horse to know that there can be found injthe book,
Hambletoniau, Wilkes, Sultan and Goldsmith Maid. Some
base ball crank was evidently around when Mr. Igoe called
his colt Not Out, and in all probability the owners of Squaw
and Mahala have both visited this country.

In the above I have studiously avoided mentioning any
names that would grate harshly on sensitive ears, and n
very sorry to say that there have been names used
English turt which are a disgrace to the supposed geD'
who uamed the animals, and no one of the American
would dare, lor a nmnif-n*. to call horses by the appe
used in years gone by in Enjand.

Advertising Notes-

Once more the advertisement of the justly celebrated
Tourney Sulkies appears in our columns. The oharacter of
work turned out by thiB firm is surpassed by no one in the
country; and it is not alone in Sulkies that they have estab-
lished their reputation, for their Skelton, driving and business
wagonB are rated second to none. Toomey & Co., have re-
ceived sis patents for improvements in springs, Tanning gear
and asles, showing them to be a progressive Brm apd up
with tbe times. Any information r- quired will be be cheer-
fnlly given by W. D. O'Kane of Market Street, San Francisco.

One of the best of the Morean type of horses now iu this
state is Ohio Boy 4286, the property of Mr. L. P. Baker of
Oakland. This well known stallion will stand at Oakland,
Haywards and Walnut Creek, in Alemeda Co., from March
1st to June 1st. The service fees have beeu placed at such a
low figure that the bo ik should till in short order.

Mr. G. W. Brown of the Nucleus Stable, offers for sale in
this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman, the registered
Percberon Stallion Tonty. The breeding of this horse is all
that can be desired, and would prove a valuable addition to
the stad of breeders engsgod in raising heavy draught horses.

Messrs. Killip & Co. have had such success with the im-
ported stallions offered for sale a few weeks ago, that Mr. J.
Trestail has placed in their hands for sale four imported
mares of tbe same breeding. These splendid specimens of
the Clydesdale family can be seen after nest Saturday at the
Bay District track, whence they will be taken immediately
on their arrival from Australia.

An addition to the stallun list is announced in Mr. A
Weske's advertisement fromSanta Rosa, his handsome Prince
Imperial having been placed in the stud there. Prince
Imperial's pedigree is of the royal sort, and &hould attract
the attention of intelligent breeders. Peter Brandow the
well known trainer s*ys that this borse is one of tbe best in
the state, and that he can show 2:20 with bat little training.

Lancelot is another of the Electioneer colts offered for
Bervice in this issue, and as his breeding is unespectionable,
will undoubtedly have many patrons. In the same Btable
with Lancelot is a well known son of Nutwood, whose get
have proved valuable in breeding, and as there are many
who fancy the Nutwood blood in preference to that of Elec-
tioneer, undoubtly Siladin will have a foil share of the trot-
ling mares in Sauta Rosa and vicinity. In these two fine
stallions Mr. E. W. Brooke can satisfy the most fastideousof
of breeders and should have a m -st successful season.

In laBt week's issue a notice was given of some of the horses
in the Seale Stable at the Bay District Track, which, when it
was written, was without the knowledge, that the larger por-
tion of the Btable would shortly be sold. An announcement
is made this week through Killip & Co. that on Thursday,
February 28th, by order of the executors of the estate of the
late H. W. Seale, a sale will take place at which the pick of
the entire stable will be sold, thus affording an opportunity
to procure a first class trotter at a reasonable price. The
horses may be seen daily in exeicise at the track, and on the
day of sale each horso will be shown in harness.

Dr. R. Watkina a veterinary dentist from Hartford, Conn.,
solicits patrons through our columns this week. The
Doctor is well and favorable known throughout the far
Eistern States, and will probably soon be in receipt of a large
practice here, He may be found, at his office. Crittenden's
Club Stable, 409 Ta) lor Street, where he will prepared to
treat all ailments of the horse's mouth. Examinations are
free.

There is no need to write words of praise for such a stal-
lion as Almont Patchen. Those who saw him defeat Adonis
and Belmont Boy in this city last year know that 2:15 is an
easy task for this wonderful horse to beat. His breeding is
of the very best, and that his get will prove eqnally good,
is almost a certainty. The advertisement gives pedigree, per-
formance and description, and any other information will be
readily afforded by Mr. C. H. Corey of San Jose.

Jim L. and Adrian, the property of Mr. J. A. Linscott, are
advertised to make the season of 1889 at Walsonville. These
two stallions are well known for speed and endurance, and
their breeding is of the highest order. Jim L. has already
done service in the stud, and has proven himself a sure foal
getter. Adrian has stood for several years and has uniformly
bred good colts, showing speed, size and excellent disposition.
A glauce at the advertisement will show price, pedigree, etc.

The description of Election given elsewhere is bo elaborate
that there is absolutely nothing further to say. Now that
the Electioneer blood has become so fashionable, owners of
his get have little trouble in securing all the mareB necessary,
and without doubt it will be so in the case of Election.

From Langtry Farm comes a timely notice about Friar
Tuck. He will Btand in Lake County this year at the very
low price of $50. As this is the only representative of the
Hermit family west of the Rocky Mountains, the manage-
ment should have a plentiful supply of mares to serve. He
has Been hard work on the track, was a consistent performer,
and has been very successful at the stud. It will be very
surprising if the breeders of the State do not take advantage
of this rare opportunity to mingle the blood of England's
most noted sire with the rich strains now in the California
horses. Read the advertisement.

Mr. T. Lamoureux, of Oakland, gives notice that hiB two
well-bred stallions, Jib and T. O., will stand at the Oakland
Trotting Park this season. They are two exceptionally tine
bred horses and should oommand attention from the breedeis
of California. Read the advertisement in another column.

What necessity is there to call our reader's attention to the
advertisement of Alexander Button, he has stamped himself
asoceol the best sires in the country, Yolo Maid haying
made a name for him that will last forever. It 1b a curious
fact, Alexander has never had a standard mare, and yd has
uniformly produced very speedy colts.and that he can get fleety
youngsters from any mare. Mr. Woodward in the advertise-
ment, gives full particulars about this marvelous stallion.

The thoroughbred, Prince of Norfolk, a full brother of the
world-wide celebrated Emperor of Norfolk, will make the
season fit Sacramento this year. Owing to the remarkable
success achieved by the Emperor, Prince of Norfolk should
be in demand by the owners of good thoroughbred blood
mares. Considering the blood lines of this horse, the price
is placed at a very low figure, a fact that will be appreciated
by those who desire service.

The old time driver, Richard Havey, has the highly bred
trotting stallion Bonanza, whose services he offers this week
to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman. Bonanza is a
half brother to the noted Arab, 2:15. and his dam is the dam
of Albert W., 2:20. Although only having a record of 2:29
himself, tbat's no measure of his Bpeed. Coming from pro-
ducing families, he should and undoubtedly will be a grand
producer himself.

At The Ba / District.

As usual, the Cook Stock Farm presents to our readers the
stallion notices of Steinway 1S08, and Charles Derby 4907.
These two fine studs, than whom there is do better bred,
have limited bookB, so it will be necessary to make applica-
tion immediately, by thoBe who wish to secure the services
of either of them. Steinway needs no recommendation at
our hands, as his performances on the turf and the per-
formances of his get are so well known that they speak for
themselves. Chas. Derby, as a two-year-old, made a record
of 2:36, and before the end of the season will have lowered it
considerably, he having shown many trials lately inside of
2:30, while in the hands of Mr. O. A. Hickok.

Mr. W. B. Sanborn, the lessee of the Santa Rosa Track, is
out with a notice in which he offers free stalls, free track,
and free water to those who will patronize him. These ad-
vantages should secure him a large run of customers, as the
track there is considered the equal of uDy in the State.

Mr. Frederick Gebhard, of the Guenoc Stud, Lake County,
through his Superintendent, Mr. Aby, announces to trie
public that the grandly bred stallion Greenback, of which a
full description was agaiu in the Breeder and Sportsman
lust week, will stand for public service at the home farm.
There are many owners of brood mares who wisely think
that the breeders of America have beeD nicking in too closely,
and that outside strains nre desirable. To those wbo so
think, nothing could suit better than thiB magnificent speci-
men of the Euglisb thoroughbred, in whose veins runs tbe
blood of Great Britain's choiceBt horses. If you should de-
sire ahorse for running in the mud and one who will never
quit, then breed to St. Savior, a worthy son of E iIub. A
score of years since, the Vandals were the noted mud
horsts, bat uow tbe Eolnq stock s'ands pre-eminent. With
two snoh sires in the stud, Mr. Gebhaid should receive his
full share of custom. Full particulars will be found in tbe
advertisement.

The Bay District track is a great resort at present for those
who delight in trotting, as day after day the horses there are
put through their paces and the attendants aretryiDg to "get
a line," which may be of advantage when the regular trotting
season opens. Having already written up the Hickok, Gril-
fen and Scale's stables, the next to claim attention is that of
Peter Brandow, one of the oldest drivers now on this coast.

Mr. Brandow has been regularly engaged in handling trot-
ting stock for a quarter of a century, and his well-known
ability brings him plenty of owners, who wish "Pete" to
handle their fast horses for them. There are in his Btable at
present half a dozen likely candidates for turf honors, any
one of which may prove famous before the coming season
finishes.

The first one Bhown was a dark bay five years old,.by Alex-
ander, dam The Stykes mare. She has no record, but is
speedy, and has shown several good trials as a four-year-old.
The nextone exhibited is called Topsey, and from her extreme
black color the appelation is a good one. Topsey is five years
old, by Orange County, he by fiysdyk's Hambletonian. Hei
dam is a Bellf ounder mare. Tupsey, as a two-year-old gained
a record of 2:53A, but since then has not Been hard service.
She will be ored this year to either Palo Alto or Piedmont.
A beautiful bay, five years old, was in the next stall, his sire
being Arlington, dam by "Whipple's Hambletonian. This
horse can show a 2:30 gait at any moment, and when given
the proper amount of work will probably beat that time sev-
eral beconds. The reporter was then shown Prince Albert, a
five-year-old oolt, the properly of W. D. English, Esq. He
is a rich dark brown, with exceedingly fine action; a magnifi-
cent colt to look at, and should prove himself worthy of his
family. He is by Albert W-, he by Electioneer, the dam
being an Elmo mare. A member of the renowned Wilkes
family was next inspected, this representative being Sol
Wilkes, by Guy Wilkes, dam Flora Langford. Sol "Wilkes is
only four years old, and has a record of 2:47, but in traiuing
is beating 2:30 almost every day.

His record was secured in the Occident Stakes, and
although he was beaten fur the honor of first place, secured
the second money. He is a pretty, light bay, with dark brown
legs and one white hind foot. He has a small white star on
forehead and white stripe down tbe face extending to the
muzzle. Sol Wilkes is owned by that enthusiastic horseman
Capt. Johnson, and there is every likelihood that he will
gladden the Captain's heart before the entries to the "30" list
are published in the fall.

Mr. C. Smith is the owner of Lucy A., a very promising
Abbotsford mare, her dam by Whipple's Hambletonian.
Lucy A. is a beautiful sorrel, with a white stripe down her
face, and shows every indication of lowering her present rec-
ord of 2:32 ere many months have passed.

From Mr. Brandow's stalls the writer went over to have a
look at the horses under the charges of Mr. Green, John
Wrts in his usual good humor, and showing off the good
points of his striDg to that clever, good-all-round horseman,
Mr. P. Eigan, the owner of the trotting horse Old Sport.
Many stories of the early days among the trotters were told,
and the merits of many discussed which will prove of inter-
est in future artioles anent the turf.

The first stall contained Melrose, who has already faced
an audience and gained a record for himself of 2:35. Mr.
Green had him hitched up, and drove him an easy mile in
2:81, tbe last half being driven in 1:12. He is by Sultan,
dam a California Ten Broeck mare, is nine years old, and ip
owned by Mr. James Hunter.

Mr Faxon D. Atherton, who dearly loves a good horse,
has a good one in President, a five-year-old Fallis colt, the
dam bping by Whipple's Eambletouian. This grandson of
Electioneer has had uo chBoce to get a warming np yet, as
he has been troubled with a bad cold, but is now nearly well,
and will, within a few days, begin his preparatory work.
President has no record, but as Mr. Green says, "that won't
trouble him long."

A very beautiful black filly, two years old, by Sterling, dam
Madge, by Privateer, haB all the requisites necessary for a
successful turf condulate, and will be seen this year among
tbe young contingent. That knight of the pencillers, Mr.
Chan. KiDgsley, has a two-year-old called Patriarch, whioh
is being given gentle exercise by Wm. Fieldwick. He is a
handsome specimen of the California bred borse, and may
prove, as Charley says, a world beater. Patriarch is by
Sterling, dam Lillian,, by Romolus, he by Rysdjk's Hamble-
tonian. The breeding of this colt is enough to warrant the
supposition that he will prove very faBt.

At this juncture a great disturbance was beard out at the
main entrance to the track, and investigation showed the re-

doubtable D. J. McCarty, with about thirty head of trotting
horses, some good ones being among the number, Dan haB
the happy faculty of beiDg able to buy good horses at low
figures, and usually has a dipper or two on hand when a
purchaser shows in sight. A haBty examination — such aa
was had — could not possibly give onr readers aDy thorough
idea of all the horses congregated there, but among the num-
ber was seen California, a five-year-old bay colt by Belnor, he
by Stratbmore, dam Leah, by Woodford Mambrino; Castro,
two-year-old colt, by Clovis. dam Carrie Stoner, by Steinway.
An unnamed filly by Nutwood, dam by John Nelson, looked
very well. About tbe best appearing of the lot was the
chestnut gelding St. David, by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr.. dam
Mattie Howard. Among the others were GaBton 2:37j;
James F., four years old, by Steinway, dam Ntd Fay's Ken-
tucky saddle mare; Grey Eddy, by Alexander, grandsire of
Yolo Maid, dam Belle, by Whipple's Hambletonian; Pride it
tbe Bay. by Algona, he by Almont, dam, the dam of Confi-
dence; Roy, by Electioneer, dam Rivulet, by Rivoli, he out
of Topaz, by Glencoe. The balance consistB of coltB and
fillieB by Nephew, Stamboul, Sidney, Dexter, Prince, and
many others of the celebrated California sires.

Senator Hearst's horse. Glen Echo, is in the Brooklyn

Ellwood, by A. W. Richmond, dam Crighton's First, has
again reduced her reoord. On a wager, she was driven by
Chailes Durfee a mile, at Los Angeles, on Thursday of last

of her former time. She will, in all probability, be bred be-
fore long to Del Sur.

that are spoken of as starters are Thos. SearleB1 Sunflower,
James Hunter's Melrose, A. B. Sprinkles' Gracie B , D. J.
McCarty's St. David, and Bonanza, owned by Richard
Havey.

At the San Jose race track there are at present twelve
horses belonging to the Elmwood Stable; W. L. Appleley
has six. Cy. Mulkey, in charge of the Babb Stable, is looking
after half a dozen, while Reavey & Co. have two, and W.
Donathan one. At Cayote, in the same county, Thomas
Fisher is taking care of ten good ones, and all are in good
condition.

Sam Gamble says it would be a good idea for the various
fair asscoiationB to offer a good liberal purse for troiting and
pacing stallions that have never beaten 2:18. He also sug-
gests that during the latter part of the season there should
be one or more two mile heat races, to test the speed, cour-
age and endurance of the same class of stallions.

Mr. I. DeTurk has placed under the charge of Mr. McGraw
at Santa Rosa, a four-year-'jM'soIt by Anteeo, dam the But-
ton mare, dam of Alexander Buitoo, sire of Yolo Maid; also
a two-year-old Anteeo tilly, daur a -Nutwood mare, both of
which are showing in good form. ■»* J

Mr. D. D. Streeter, prepident of the Overland Park Club
of Denver, accompanied by George H. Esterbrook1, is paying
a visit to the breeding farms of California. The gentlemen
made a pleasant call a few days ago and report themEfilves as
highly pleased with the Pacific const. * '"_>

Mr. Joseph Battell, of Middlebury, Vt., is at present in San '
Franoisco hunting up information for his book, ( 'The Mor-
gan horse." Mr. Battell has been engaged in the work for
five years and will probably have the book in shape so that it
can be published this fall.

The Los Angeles Tribnne says that Mr. L. J. Rose has a
record as a breeder which no one can equal. He bred the
dams of Sable Wilkes, Bell Boy and Hinda Rose, three of the
fastest three-year-old trotters in the world. Beautiful Bell,
the dam of Bell Boy, is by The Moor out of Minnehaha.
Th* dam of Sable Wilbea is Sable, who was sired by The
Moor, and who ia a full sister to Del Sur.

The John Dowdy ranch, says the Gilroy Advocate, has
been leased to Mr. and Mrs. James, of S-*n Francisco. Mrs.
Jamps has been known until lately aa Miss A. L. WilBon,
Bfsistant editor and business manager of the Breeder and
Sportsman. The stock interests of this part of California
will without doubt enlist the intelligent attention of these
new comers.

Mr. Porter ABhe, in his testimony before the committee
who have the pool bill in charge, stated that Mr. George
Hankins, of the celebrated Chicago stable, was coming to
California for the purpose of starting a breeding farm. Mr.
Hankins may probably think that he would like to have a
farm, but when it comes to starting the matter going, I am
under the impression that Mr. Hankins will buy at the
public Bales instead of breeding.

About two weeks ago, Brother Baker of the Rural Spirit,
commended to my care J. N. Crabb, of the Walla Walla
Agricultural Society, with the admonition that "Joe was a
bit of a crank." Mr. Crabb is just the sort of a crank I like,
and I am satisfied that if every Agricultnral Society on the
Pacific coast, hart a few such on their Board of Directors,
much money would have been saved that has been frittered
away.

The Petaluma Argus suggests that a syndioate of gentlemen
purchase Dawn, so that he may not be taken from the state,
and the Los Angeles Tribune wants the same thing done
about Stamboul. You had better be quick about it gentle-
men, for there are parties now in California looking after
both horses and also after Sidney. Eastern breeders have
evidently determined to break the boom in Californian
stock, by getting the stallions away.

Capt. Guy E. Grosse of Santa Rosa has his stable in train
lug at the track there, under the able management of J. H.
Lawrenoe. Among the number are to be seen four eplendid
specimens of the Anteeo stock, and one grand-daughter of
the same sire. Mr. Lawrence also has in charge a bay geld-
ing, by Alexander, three years old, the property of W. P.
Fine, and a roan gelding of the same age, by Capri, owned
by Mr. Joseph Tillner.

The Breeder and Sportsman gets brighter and brighter
eich week. Alex. F. Waugh, who hides his identity under
the nom de plume of "Grim," dishes up all the local hap-
penings in a crisp, gossipy manner, and hiB page of pungent
paragraphs, containing the news of the trotting and running
world, is a feature which iB gaining many readers for the
representative turf journal of the West. — "Lob Angeles
Tribune,"

Mr. William McGraw has a fine black stallion, four yearB
old, which he is handling at the Santa Rosa track. He is by
Alcona, first dam Fountana by Almont, is a splendid mover,
showB himself speedy, and may make a mark before the
season closes. The same gentleman also has a bay gelding,
which he has named Lookout, and my correspondent there
whispers quietly that a gcod many will have to look out for
him, as he is a very promising horse.

In answer to a dispatch sent by the Beeder and Sportsman,
Mr. B. C. Holly states that h6 has Bold his ch h Wood-
nut to Mr. R. Steele of PhiladelDhia for the sum of $20,000.
When Dr. Eckstein was in San Francieoo last month he got
an option on the Btallion, the sale of Woodnut being the
result. Woodnut iB beyond question the best of the foalB
got by Nutwood, and has been one of the representative
stallions of the state. He is by Nutwno3, dam Artdie (dam
of Manon 2:21) bv Hambletonian Chief (Hasbrouks), son of
Hambletonian, 10; g d called a Harry Clay mare, pedigree
not traced. Woodnut was bred by Peter Coutts of May-
b'eld, Santa Clara county.

Many of our idle moments are spent in reading the
Breeder and Sportsman. It is a genuine pleasure each
week to peruse "General Topics" and "Grim's GoFsip. "
The editor, Jos. Cairn Simpson, is an acknowledged author-
ity on all horse matters, having had many years of practical
experience, and, although comirjg down the home stretch on
the last heat, he still writes with such vim and vigor that
unknowing ones could but imagine that be is a young man,
with no aches, pains or sorrows which accompany old age;
and we could not wish for lees than to see him live beyond
his allotted time, and give us still more of his practical
knowledge of the ncble-t and grandest animal God has given
man. — "Lake County Examiner."

Mascotte, the celebrated two-year-old trotter, by Stamboul,
out of Minnehaha, has not been sold after all, says the Los
Angeles Tribune. The negotiations for the sale of Mascotte
were conducted by telegraph. Mr. Bradshaw telegraphed
Mr. Rose that the price was satisfactory and he would pur-
chase the well-bred youngBter. A few days later be tele-
graphed again that he could not be here for some time to
come. Next day Mr. Rose telegraphed that unless Mr.
Bradshaw closed in a day or two thar all negotiations would
be off. The breeders of America will now have a chance to
bid for one of the grandest two-year-olds in this country, as
Mr. Rose has concluded to send Mascotte east with the bnl
ance of Stamboul and AlcazarV yr-nngsters which are to
sold in New York u^xt month. Th** trotter will be ship'
fiom Rosemeade next Saturday wetk. Lee Rose will g
with the horses.

Oakland Trotting Park.

A meeting of the directors of the Oakland Trottine Park
Association was held at 'Or? office of R. T. Carroll, 109 Front
Street, San FranciscU, on, Tuesday last. The meeting was
oalled principally ,-td. 'elect a president to fill the unexpired
term of the late James Adams, Esq. Mr. E. T. Carroll was
unanimously elooted to the position, the term of which
extends, 'tu "June 16th. Several bills were presented and
ordered paid. A general discussion was entered into relative
to th3' advisability of giving a meeting in the near future,
and a committee was appointed to prepare a programme and
report to the directors at the next meeting. The association
is in a flourishing conditioD, and the members enthusiastic,
two elements which combine to make such societies success-
ful. Another meeting will be held on the 23d of this month,
■when action will be taken about the proposed race programme,
as the committee appointed will report on that date.

Sprirjsr Handicaps.

The records of the Bpring, or rather of the early summer,
handicaps in this country, show very few won by three-
year-olds, says the "Republic." Of tbe thirteen important
handicaps run at Brooklyn, Jerome and Sheepshead, between
the middle of May and the end of June last year, the win-
ners were: Richmond and Favor, six-year-olds; Tbe Bard,
Elkwood and Euros, five-year-olds; Aurelia, Belvidere, Ord-
way and Terra Cotta, four-year-olds. Nor do the "away
baok'* records show many winning three-year-olds. The
Fordham was first run at Jerome Park in 1S68, and it has
only been woo three times by three-year-olds, viz., by Dan-
ger in 1878, Ferida in 1S79, and Oriflamme in 1887, the last-
named running second to Enrus for the Subuiban in 1887.
Many of tbe answers to the English questions were supple-
mented with opinions of general interest to racegoers. Iu
this respeot, Mr. John Porter, trainer of the famous Kings-
clere stable, and of Ormonde and other horBes that Lave run
in England during the past few years, made an excellent
point in connection with oup races and horses able to go a
distance. He says:

Under the present system, whereby all the rioh prizes are
given to two and three-year-old races, averaging from five
furlongs to a mile and a half in length, I question whether,
in a short time, we shall have any cup races, or horses to
run in them, or jocke? s with sufficient judgment and
patience to ride them, as the preponderance of sprint races
tends to do away with that patience and judgment which is
so requisite in long races, and which has been so notably dis-
played by jockeys of the old school.

This is a very brief paragraph, but it shows the situation
both in England and the United States, not only in the
question of horseB but of riders. Attention has been called
to the almost entire elimination of stallions able to go a dis-
tance. The old Btyle of sire that, like Glenelg and Fellow-
craft, ran four miles, ends with their deaths; while even those
that did run cup distances, like Aristides, Bramble, ;Hindoo,
Longfellow, Springbok and Wanderer of the homebreds, or
Mortimer and Rayon d'Or of those imported, can only be re-
placed by such horses as Pontiacand Sir Dixon, whose great-
est distance run was a mile and a half. Neither of them
lacks speed, but with mares no bettertbe produce can only
be expected to go about a mile. Until the present time we
have had horses that under the old system of training, would
have stood the test of distance, and there are still a few that,
with especitil preparation, can run two, three, or even four
miles.

ATHLETICS.

Golden Gate Olub.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The club year in the
Golden Gate Amateur Athletio Club is drawing to a close,
and as is customary the Nominating Committee met on
Tuesday evening last at the gymnasium, and nominated the
following gentlemen, subject to the ratification of the club
at the general meeting and exhibition to be held on Wednes-
day, February 20th. For President, Hon. J. A. Steinbach;
Vice-President, VV. B. May; Secretary, J. J. Jamison; Treas-
urer, Frank Jones: Board of Directors, L, G. Flanna^au, C.
H. Smith, Cres3. Unger, Dr. V. A. Chaigneau, Henry Lun-
stedt, A- Rudyear, and W. W. Shannon. The conditioa of
the Club is satisfactory in all respects. Its finances are all
that could be desired, and its membership includes many of
the best known devotees to athletics in the city.

J. J. Jamison, Secretary.

San Francisco, February 14, 1889.

That famous general sportsman and athlete, Phil Jacoby,
came near being exterminated on "Wednesday evening last.
He is a musical genius in addition to to his other accomplish-
ments, and while sitting in a music hall enjoying himself,
had a tray of heavy tumblerB tipped upon him by an awk-
ward waiter. A lot of contuBioDs and a passtng faint were
tbe only injuries, which might easily have been more
sexious.

CANOEING.

ROD.

Amoner the Redwoods.

"Sail and Paddle," an aquatic monthly journal, published
by W. C. Pentz in New "York, has taken tbe place of the
"American Canoeist." The new publication is strictly a
class journal, and is carefully prepared to meet the needs of
canoeists, a very critical clientage.

Oakland Canoe Club.

Aotive preparations are being made for the trip to Tiburon
on Washington's birthday, to enjoy the hospitality of the
Corinthian Yacht Club. The canoes will be towed over on
the Friday, returning on Sunday evening. Saturday and
Sunday will be devoted to Hailing around those waters,
Friday being tbe ocoibiou of the reception by the Yacht
Club.

The canoe Frolic cruised over there last Sunday. It was
dead calm at the start, and until Goat Island was reached it
was hard paddling. Here a breeze from the north sprung
up, and boou blew stiff. With reefed mainsail the canoe
made splendid time, the sea being quite heavy, owing to the
wind blowing against the ebb tide, reaching Tiburon atl 1:30,
just three aDd a half honrs from the boat house. When the
paddling to the island is considered, and the remainder a
dead beai to windward, this shows remarkable speed in a
seaway, and pretty readily disproves tbe idea that tbe Frolic
is a racing machine. Pirate, Conchita, Mab and others were
out in tbe creek, and had some fine sailing. Ihe former
does not seem to do very well to windward with her new big
*ails. Whisper has received a new coat of varnish and looks
very smart.

CHAPTER XIV.

A FEW WORDS ' SIGNIFICANT OF MUCH."

To be wise is one thing, and to gain credit for wisdom be-
cause driven from the ordinary routine through force of dis-
agreeable circumstances is another. Tbe first Btate, pre-
sumably, brings with it a satisfactory degree of exaltation,
while tbe second iB productive only of morbid depression.

Our friend Philip, lounging idly on the verandah at
Myrtle Heights, teasintz Nestor, or meditating with much
seriousness on a quarrel with ErI which had come about the
day previous, was in an extreme stage of the Becond condi-
tion, altbough Dick, who by this time had left the hotel with
his charges, and could in no way evade Rachel's sarcastic
pleasantries, Natalie's heavy attempts at poetical remarks, or
the intense heat which beat directly on hiB head, was accred-
iting him with unparalleled wisdom for staj^ng at home.

Perhaps if Pnilip bad known this, it might have afforded
him some comfort, but be did not, and was therefore with-
out even the salve of fiiendly, if erroneous approbation.

It is astonishing how some miserable, little, biting thought
can poison the very best springs of existence, and render a
man who has really slight cause for uuhappioessas wretched
as one who is staggering under a load of sorrow. Looked at
from all sides, it was but a petty thing that troubled Philip,
and yet it bad kept him in misery ever since he opened his
eyes at daylight. And Dick would have laughed heartily
had be known that at the very moment he was planning de-
parture, Philip was also speculating how arrangements could
be made for his mother and sisters, abd adieux be said to the
Selden household.

A slight investigation forced him to see, however, that
such a plan was impracticable at tbe present time, for Mr.
Selden had been called unexpectedly to Felton, ErI was in-
visible, and MrB. Morrison too closely occupied witb house-
hold affairs and Rob's weeding — like himself, a trifle lacking
iu finish — to have eyeB or ears for anything else. At least,
such was Philip's conclusion in regard to her, but it is vastly
amusing to picture what consternation would have attacked
him had everything Bhe found eyes and ears for been sud-
denly demonstrated for his edification. Whether tbe train-
ing of sons brought keenness, or love for tbe girl who had
grown up beside ber gave insight, I know not, but many odd
thoughts mingled themselves with domestic cares, and added
uncertainty to the future.

"Come, child!" she said repeatedly to ErI, "Come, child,
wake up! You don't seem to have no more notion o' what
you're doin' than the little birds that drag themselves out o'
the nest before their wings are right fur it. Wits bright,
and eyes open fur daylight! That's what I always tell my
boys!"

And Erl would try to shake off tbe benumbing -sensation
that gave everything such an unreal, dreamlike aspect, usu-
ally to find she had wrought some irremediable harm to tbe
cooking, and to hear Tommy get the scolding that should
have come to her.

Three weeks ago such injustice would have caused active
remonstrance, but* now she Beemed capable of nothing ex-
cept stealing away by herself to pass the time in listless
reveries. In spirits, too, she varied more and more. One
hour ber laughter echoed from corner to corner of the house,
and song followed song until the very birds tired of following.
The next all was quiet, and she Bat in tears beside the tar-
nished harp in her mothers's room. Favors to Ben and
Wolfgang grew fewer with every passing day, and careless
romps with Nestoi were at an end. The change whi3h Mr.
Selden had so long wished for was come, and his daughter's
heart was no longer tbe heart of a child. Not the slightest
atom of all this escaped MrB. Morrison, who daily grew more
doubtful whether to be pleased or sad, and made resolve
after resolve to talk with Erl.

"Because," she said to herself, "I remember when Tom
first came into my mind. Sakes alive! even my old snn
bonnet and all. And young folks don't change. Her father
'11 never see this; and if he should, ten to one his heart ain't
young enough to stand it. Life goes on that way quiet and
full o' the same things for years, then all at once it
changes, and you dou't know where you're standin'. Well,
thanks to the Lord, my heart's young as it ever was. Taint
changed a mite since I told Tom I'd go with him and work
up hill and down. And it's been that way pretty much; but
I wouldn't a missed bein' loved by him for fen times more."
The result of such thoughts was usually an additional
turn to the meat or flavor to the pudding, which only Bhows
how,j after the pulses have become regulated, good within
makes good without.

There were days, however, when the brisk matron was
sorely put about by her darling's vagarieB and this was one,
for Erl had been absent Bince early morning, and Mrs. Mor-
rison had worried until her bread was threatening failure,
and her pot-pie exacted attention, when she put everything
from view but dinner, and calmed herself by the promise to
start on a search immediately after, at the Bame time forbid-
ding Rob who had signified his willingness to perform this
duty, to have a single idea in such a direction.

For all that was eaten, the dinner might have remained
uncooked in the pantry.

"And next time it'll not be so tasty, you may count on
that," said Mrs. Morrison, as'she quickly removed one thing
after another. "It's poor food that's better for a second
seasonin'."

With this terse remark Bhe opened the door to give Nestor
his bone, and saw Erl coming tdowly toward the house car-
rying a small basket of while flowers, saw too that Philip
came down from the verandah, took the basket and followed
her into the hall.

"I thought violets were past," be said as he placed the
basket on a window sill and looked at her.

"These were planted very late, and have not come out
well. They are so crumpled and yellow." Her eyes were
bent on the flowers, and she twisted her hat strings
nervously.

Notwithstanding Erl's height, her exceedingly slender
figure and marked expression of innocence Ientf a childish
air which appealed forcibly to all that was tender aud loving
in Philip. And th-s was a very great deal; for altbough be
had not the intense passion of a more romantic temperament
his self controll was quite as deeply moved by what be did
feel, and, maybe because be was an only son; accustomed to
having every wish fulfilled, he found it exceedingly hard to
strive against the impulsos of his nature.

Still I doubt not be would have done better bad not that
singular force placed by tbe ancients under full control of
the Fates, and which plays a much greater part in the lives
of ordinary individuals than the coldly scientific intellect may
admit, announced itself by declaring to Philip that his
power of restraint would be increased through the possession

of a violet. Without pausing to consider he placed his hand
in tbe basket.

As he did so Erl laid her fingers impulsively on his arm.
"Please do not," she said.

"Then it is impossible to forgive me yet0"

"Oh.no, but I — "she stopped and looked up, her eyes
appearing larger and softer because of the tears they held.

The sight of them robbed Philip of all prudence and self-
control. He leaned forward and drew her toward him find-
ing only voice enough to whisper:

"Tell me, what is it, dear?" Much as one would to a
troubled child. *

There was a moment's yielding on Erl's part, but no
reply, and as he drew her closer and bent to kiss her, she
darted away and left him standing alone by tbe flowers.

THE GUN,

Shooting notes are scare and not likely to become more
plenty. The best sport going is at canvas baoks on the Sui-
sun marsh. Baron Von Schroeder and Mr. J. M. Adams on
Monday last killed forty birds each at the Tulle Bello getting
Bixteeu "cans" for the Baron and thirteen for Mr. Adams
On that day Dr. Davlu and Mr. Ben Stiokney shot at the Corl
delia and bronght home ahont nine'ty birds, forty beine can-
vas backs. Mr. John G. Kittle and Mr. "Flip" Bates shot at
the Ibis Clnb on a foggy morning early in the week and had
poor sport, there being no flight. On the Petalnma marsh '
big bags of canvas backs are daily being made. .

Gun Club Handicaps.

In sending tbe regulations and handicaps which will govern
the season's shooting by members of the Gun Clnb, Mr. J.
K. Orr, of the Executive Committee says: The first match of
the season will take place at San Bruno on February 22d, the
club going down by the 8:30 a. m. train from Fourth and
Townsend Streets. It has not yet been decided where the
club will shoot the balance of the season, but probably at
Adam's Point.

The Executive Committee for the year are Messrs. J. K.
Orr, H. W. Woodward and Geo. Leviston. The prizes, regu-
lations and handicaps are as follows:

First prize, a Gold Match Box.

Second prize, a Flask.

Third prize, a Hunting Suit.

Fourth prize, a Revolver.

The first prize to be for the best average of any five matches
during the season.

The second and third prizes to be for the second and third
best average of any five matches during the season, bat not
to be contested for by any member of the first class.

The fourth prize shall be contested for only by the mem-
bers in ihe fourth class, and is tor the best average in this
class of any five matches during the season; but should any
member in this class win either the first, second or third
prize, he shall relinquish all right to the fourth prize, and in
that event the fourth prize shall be awarded to the member
of this class making the next best average.

All ties shall be shot off at the respective distances of each
class at four single birdB. There will be eight regular matches
duriDg tbe season of 1889.

For any member to participate in tbe above prizes, it will
be necessary for him to shoot in at least five matches during
the season.

Any member who shall shoot in all the eight matches, may
select his five best scores, and the average will be made up
from them.

The firBt match of the season will be held at San Bruno, on
the 22d day of February, and the following matches at times
and places to be fixed by the Exeoutive Committee.

In all sweepstake and pool shooting, the memberB shall
shoot at the respective distances as laid down in this year's
handicap.

Prom the Extreme North End.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — News notes in a sports-
man's way are few about Tacoma, and not easy to find. The
shooting has not been as good as usual this winter. Oar
prinoipal aport is at ducks, and the weather haB been so
mild and pleasant that they have kept out in the open
water of the lakes aud ponds, most of them going into the
shallows only to feed by night. Our wildfowl shooting is
generally of the very best, particularly at mallard and can-
vas backs, while for snipe shooting there is no section equal
to Washington Territory.

But little interest has been shown as yet in bird dogs, the
oountry being new and very heavily timbered, so that,
although there are a good many birds they cannot be hunte-l
successfully over stannoh dogs. We read however, with the
greatest interest, the reports of the field trials at Bakers-
field, aud expect in time to meet our brethren, with dogs of
our own breeding and training, and show them that we are
fully in sympathy with evory higher development of sports-
manship.

Interest here at present centers in the fifth annnal tourna-
ment of the Sportsmen's Association of the North West to
be held here some time in June. We shall have three days
at live birds and bine rocks, and many goud prizes will be
bung up. Programmes will be sent to the famous shots of
California. Dr. Knowles, Frank and Benry BiiBsford, Crit-
tenden Robinson, Al. Donaldson, Martinez Chiok, Gils,
Knight, and all the rest whose names have become familiar
beoause we see them so often in the Brkkder and Sportsman

in connection with brilliant accomplishments at the traps.
We extend a cordial invitation to brother trap-shots in Cali-
fornia, and hope many of them will attend our tournament.

Oar committee of arrangements are already making prep-
arations for the tournament, and the interest shown by our
leading sportsmen and citizens speaks well for the affair.
Among those most active are Messrs. ?E. E. Ellis, W. E.
Dodge, E. B. Mullen, T. A. Bringham, H. P. Hoagland. W.
E. Box, E. 8. Albright, W. A. Berry, Joseph Bunvell, E.
Varth and S. G. Lister. We shall have two thonsand live
birds on hand, and good ones.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to Bend for publication tne earliest possi-
ble notices of wbelpa, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandpareuts, colors, dates and breed.

At instance of the Knights of the Trigger, the Supervisors
of Kern County have by ordinance made the close season
for quail from February 15th to October 1st. The change
from the general law is made necessary by the climatic con-
ditions prevalent in the county, the birdB pairing early. If
the Bakersneld sportsmen would throw a little buckwheat or
wheat in spots on the 6eld trial grounds, it would concen-
trate the birds, and insure the fullest needed supply for the
trials of next year.

Friend Sherman of Bakersb'eld insists that "Mr. Scbrei-
ber's pointer, Mountain Boy. is a handsome dog, almoBt as
handsome as, is Sirens in that valued picture of ours, where
the dog's tail and the sportsman's gun both point backward. V
Our friend is too sever* in his demands about "pointing,"
when he expects a dog's tail to point forward.

Mr. J. E. Stoddard of Tom's River, N. J., writes that he is
thinking of coming to California to set up a breeding and
training kennel, if he receives encooragement. Mr. Stod-
dard formerly lived here, is familiar with the game and
country, and can give satisfactory references.

Dootor A. C. Davenport, of Stockton, after a series of
deaths in his Cocker kennel, calculated to discourage any but
a really enthusiastic fancier, is now in a way to establish a
goDd stud of cockers, having secured two good brood animals
and sent to Iowa for a dog.

Mr. John Stack has placed his Irish setter, Grouse, in the
hands of "Mr. DeMott, and will run him in the All-Aged
Stake of '90. Grouse is a ve\v fast, staying dog, sure on
birds, and will probably run into a good place in the stake.

Mr. W. D. Howe brought his six months old pointer Elko,

dog has been fed Spratt's Biscuit, and his splendid develope-

good size, tine quality, immense bone and power, and very
keen. He will go in the next Pacific Coast Derby.

The American Kennel Gazette-

The initial number of the "American Kennel Gazette," the
official journal of the American Kennel Club is at hand, and
is in every respect a credit to the club and its officers. The
"Gazette" will in no way infringe upon the province of the
regular sportsman's journals, but will merely be an official
medinm for the publication of the proceedings and announce-
ments of the A. K. C, and will keep and publish a complete
and official record of all that transpires during the year, in
connection with shows, field trials or other matters affecting
breeding and management of dogs.

Occidental Coursing Club.

The regular monthly meeting was held at 539 California
Street on Tuesday evening last. President Gregory in the
chair and Messrs. H- Deane, P. Lyman, H. Wormington, S.
L. Abbot, Jr , T. J. O'Ketfie, J. E. Dickson, P. Gallagher, J.
F. Carroll and H. Boyd present.

T. Cooney and F. C. Long, of San Jose, D. N. S*an, of
Merced, and J. D. Share, of Lob Gatos, were electtd to mem-
bership. Notice was given that at the next regular meeting
of the clnb a proposition to raise the annual dues to $5 would
be introduced, the present nominal snm paid as dues being
insufficient.

It was ordered that the draw for the Birthday Stake, to be
run on Washington's Birthday, be made on Tuesday night,
February i9lIi at 539 California Street, the size of the stake
to be fixed at that time. Eotrance to the stake to be six dol-

Messrs. H. Deane, Fenry Wormington and Thomas J.
O'Keeffe were appointed a committee to nominate officers for
the ensuing club year, to report at the next meeting.

PreBidei t Gregory stated that interest in the coming cours-
ing meeting of the club was very great, aud prospects were
that a great meetiDg would be given. The club then
adjourned.

The California Kennel Bench Show and Field Trial Club
met at 539 California street, city, on last Wednesday, J. B.
Martin presiding, A special committee on field trials reported
progress and was given further time. A Bimilar report was
heard from the committee on transportation, and the club
then adjourned.

Pacific Kennel Club.

President Wilson occupied the chair at the P. K. C. meeting
in Parlor A, Palace Hotel, on Wednesday evening last.
Those present were William Sohreiber, Clarence Haigbt,
John H. WiBe, James E. Watson, H. W. M. Sandbach, J. F.
Carroll, H. E. Blown, and Ely Hutchinson.

Secretary Watson reported §199.92 in the treasury.

It was ordered that entries to the coming dog show cloBe
on May 14th, the show date being May 22d to 25th inclnsive.
The qualifications and geDeral desirability as judges of
Messrs. C. H. Mason, Wm. Graham, John Davidson, J. M.
Tracy and James Mortimer were discussed, the olub Btrongly
favoring the latter gentleman, who is Superintendent of the
Westminster K°nnel Club of New York and a good judge.

A general discussion on the projected show then took place.
Secretary James E. Watson, in reply to inquiries, stated that
last year's show had run $S00 behind, even though the guar-
anty fund of $350 had been called in and use^. The club
had seventy members in good standing.

John H. Wise thought it would be a good idea to assess
the members $10 or $15 each, and thuB create a reserve fund.
He did not see why a few members should assume the re-
sponsibility of a guaranty.

President Ramon E. Wilson thought difficulties were ob-
viated by the guarantee fund beirjg subscribed by the few.
He had no doubt that the coming show would be a thorough
success and pay its own debts. Last year the expenses were
very heavy, and it was a fact that bench shows, owing to the
unsavory one previously held in Piatt's Hall, were not in
good repute. The club's show in 1888 had surprised people,
and instead of having a total entry of 250 dogs, he felt sure
that this year's entries would aggregate 350 or 400. The date
was more suitable also, aa when the last show was held
(April) the dogs were not in good condition.

Mr. Wise asked if no other building than the Pavilion
could be secured. The rent, S125 a day, seemed large.

The general feeling was in favor of having the Pavilion,
and it will be secured.

The Committee on Admission to Membership reported fa-
vorably.of William S. Browne of Santa Clara and Joseph
Morizio of San Francisco. The names were balloted on and
the gentlemen declared, elected.

John F. Carroll, who acted aa superintendent of last year's
bench show, stated that he would be unable to rill the position
this year. Mr. Carroll promised to suggest the name of
some suitable person to act as snnerintendrnt.

The committee appointed to revise the premium list recom-
mended the following alterations and additions with refer-
ence to last year's list: ForNewfonodland puppies under 12
months, premiums of $5 and a diploma will be offered; the
?ame for great Dane puppies. Foxhounds will be classified
as follows: English, dogs, S10, $5 and diploma; bitches,
same; puppies S5 and diploma; American, premiums on
same scale.

Irish water spaniele — Dogs, $10, $5, diploma; bitches,
same.

Cocker spanielB, same scale as Irish water spaniels.

Collie pups, under 12 mouths, $5, diploma.

Black-and-tan terriers over seven pounds, $10, $5, dip-
loma; under seven pounds, same.

In the special prize-list the $10 premium and diplomas
for the first and second respectively were struck out io the
cases of best pointer, best English s tter, best Irish setter,
beBt black-ahd-tan, best grayhound, beBt fox-terrier and best
bull-t-rrier. There will be substituted a special prize of $25
for the best kennel of three dogs entered by any one owner
who is a non-resident of this State.

The report was adopted.
- It is proposed as an additional attraction to have exhibits
of fancy fowls and pigeons. Those interested in this direc-
tion will be invited to attend the next meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee to confer in the matter.

A. K. C. Notes.

Tne Executive Committee of the American Kennel Club,
at its last meeting, decided upon the following matters,
which should be carefully noted and kept in mind by mem-
bers of the Pacific Kennel Club:

The American Kennel Club Stud-Book, after the comple-
tion of the present volume, will be issued annnally; will
contain a full index, and will be published bound in cloth.
Numbers will be assigned upon the receipt of each entry,
and will be publi-hed monthly in the "American Kennel
Gazette." Kegisiry in the Stud-Book can be mado orjly
unrter the following conditions:

Where sire and dam are already registered, or are directly
descended from dogs already registered in said book.

Where dogs possess an authenticated pedigree extending
hack three generations.

Where dogs (not eligible under the provisions as above re-
quired) have won not less than two first prizes in the regular
classes, at any show recognized by the American Kennel
Club.

All entries for the Stud-Book will be published in the issue
of the "American Kennel Gazette" following the receipt of
said entry, to enable inspection, and the correction of any
errors that may appear.

The fee for entry in the Stud-Book will remain, as hereto-
fore, fifty cents for each dog entered.

All dogs shown at any show held by a member cf the
American Kennel Club, and not already registered in the
Stud-Book, must be registered in the "American Kennel
Gazette." The fee for such entry will be twenty-five cents.

The "American Kennel Gazette" will be published on the
last Thursday of each and every month.

Another Hunt Club.

Ekitob Breeder, and Sportsman:— From a correspondent
who lives at Pasadena, I learn that a club known as the
Valley Hunt Club has been formed there to encourage cours-
ing and equestrianism. The officers are: President, Theo-
dore D. Barnum; Vice President, Mr. C. F. Holder; Secre-
tary, Mrs. B. M. Wotkyns; Treasurer, Mrs. F. F. Buell-
Masters of the Hounds, Mr. J. DeBarth Shorb, Jr., Mr. W.
E. Browning of San Eafael Ranch, (Mr. Robert Vandevort,
and H. N. Hall, M. D. The club numbers eighty or more
members, active and honorary, and when in the field,
mounted and on coaches, presents a fine appearance.

The regular meets occur once a month, and the club rides
over one of the finest hunting countries to be found.

To Pasadena hunter;?, one or two hares caught amply
repay the hard riding, and make a fine day's sport, and many
find sufficient pleasure in the mere chase. It is not the
slaughter of hares that is desired, but the pleasure obtained
from watching the tine work of the dogs — the intelligence
displayed in their methods, and the magnificent sight of a
pack going at full speed over the country.

My correspondent adds: "In Southern California, cours-
ing, in a Btrict sense, 1b not followed. The hounds areridden
after as though by fox hunters, and the turns and tricks of
the hare all enjoyed and appreciated, but no points or turns
are counted. The dog that catches the hare, or makes the
longest and finest runs, shows the best staying power and
capacitv for quick turns, and catches the hare, carries off
the honors with the ladies or gentlemen in at the death; a
number of the lady members of the Valley Hunt ride home
with the mask of the hare pinned to their habit, won after a
run that in speed and danger is equal to any made in eastern
fox bunting. In the meets of the Valley Hunt lrom three to
eight hares are generally started, and two catches are made
on an average, though a single one would be considered
eminently satisfactory, as here the hare has the advantage,
and when caught has thoroughly tested the dogs and riders.
Cotton tails are not chased, the dogs being called off, and
baiting them with fox terriers finds no favor. The object of
the Hunt Club is to elevate the sport, if possible, to the
highest plane."

Now, Mr. EditoT, I believe I voice the sentiments of all
lovers of out-door sports, and particularly of those who have
had the great pleasure of witnessing genuine coursing, when
I doff my hat, and make my acknowledgements to my cor-
respondent for his exceedingly interesting note, as well as for
the introduction it gives us to the Valley Hunt Club of Pasa-
dena. The names of the officers afford ample guarantee of
the high character of the club, which only makes it the more
incomprehensible why they should have substituted "rabbit
hunting," as practiced by their clnb, for the magnificent and
time-honored sport of coursing.

Not only is the killing of the hare no test of a greyhound's
quality or ability, but th9 veriest "lurcher" which ever
escaped from slips will kill more hare in a day than the game,
true, staunch courser, who bears his hare from start to finish,
giving you an exhibition of all those qualities of Bpeed, dash,
courage and agility, which the ideal greyhound must possess.
But worse than this onr good frienos of the Valley Hunt
Club turn loose a pack of six or seven greyhounds and two
or three stag hounds after one poor little jack, and they call
this sport. I wonder what the jack thinks about it? From
the'earliest history of coursing, one of the most|ancient sports
of which we have record, the right;) of the hare have always "
been considered. Under uo rules or circumstances should
more than two dogs be slipped to a bare, and never is true
sportsman more happy than when puss by ner speed adroit-
ness and staunchness is able to elude the pair, as she has
accomplished the whole object of the course — that of thor-
oughly testing the merits of the two dogs.

I trust our good friends of the Valley Hunt Club will accept
this criiicism of their methods in the spirit in which it is
intended, that of promoting one of the grandest and most
elevn ting sports vouchsafed to man, and which is bo peculiarly
adapted to our magnificent California, as well as to the
temperament of our people. Here in Central California
while winter's azure sky, verdant fields and balmy air are all
that heart could ask to make a perfect day's outing, the
density of population within any striking distance of the
citv has long since put open coursirjg out of the question.
We" are therefore left to inclosed or Plumpton coursing,
which indeed is now the principal method of coursing in
Eogland. While to those who are accustomed to the open,
the Plumption has some objections, it on the other hand has
many advantages, and take it all in all furnishes as grand
trials and as perfect sport as the other. The Occidental
Coursing Club of California, a club organized for thepurpoee
of advanoing the true interests of coursing, and which num-
bers in its membership gentlemen from all parts of the State,
will hold its next meeting at Newark Coursing Park, Alameda
County, on the 22d inst, at which time the Birthday Cup
will be competed for. On behalf of the clnb I take pleasure
in extending to the members uf the Valley Hunt Club, a cor-
dial invitation to be with us and accept our hospitalities on
that occasion. We will insure you a cordial welcome, a
royal day's sport, a coursing meeting conducted strictly to
rale, a field of dogs fit to compete anywhere for any i riz
and an insight into the beauties of genuine com
will be a source of unal oyed present and future j

The Napa Colt Stakes.

Readily Amended-.
Judge Heoffer showed us an amended bill which, by
the striking out from the original "inclosure of the race-
track, building, hall, structure, course or place, or the
part thereuf, within which such trial, contest, lot or pas-
ture," and substituting "beyond or outside of this State."
That covers the point entirely, and will meet the wishet
and ensure the support of every horse-breeder in Cali-
fornia. *

The Bill to Regulate Veterinary Practice-

"We trust that the bill now before the Legislature to
regulate the practice of veterinary medicine and surgery
will become a law, provided section nine is stricken out.
In all other respects it is commendable, but the endeavor
to do away with proprietary remedies by imposing a
prohibitory tax is, to say the least, too arbitrary to meet
with support.

There are remedies which are approved by a large
majority of horse owners, and though we are not prone to
use medicines, lotions, embrocations, etc., there are some
which we would not like to dispense with.

It is all very well for a veterinarian to say I can give
you a foiiuula which will be fully as efficacious as that
you value, and we do not doubt that many of them are
capable of doing so, but to run with a prescription to a
drug store, wait until it can be prepared, is not as handy
as sending to the depot for a supply. Residents of the
country are still more dependant, and such a clause will
be against their interest.

would shrink to a paltry pittance, and the grand institu-
tion, of which Californians are so justly prond, degener-
ate into a trivial exhibition, a disgrace to the country
and a reproach to the people. It may appear somewhat
anomalous to claim that if pool-selling be done away
with, there will be a smaller attendance of those who
argue that it is an evil in any form. The "innate pro-
pensity" again figures. There is an increased desire to
witness contests when large sums are at stake. A match
for 810,000 will draw a big concourse, one between the
same horses foi a purse of §100 will be passed, although
the route leads by the entrance gate of the track on
which it is to be decided. If the morning papers report
that the pool-sales of the night preceding were "spir-
ited," and that the place of selling was thronged, good
peajAe will be anxious to witness that which incites
unwonted speculation. Therefore, although the writer
shall fail to see the connection between pool-selling and
horse-breeding, ihe fault lies that the intellects of the
editor is not as lucid as it might be were there a better
understanding of the relation between the two.

A Common Sense View.

It Has a Beanner-

We are much pleased to learn that the directors of

the Napa Agricultural Society have stricken out the

" clause barriug Sunol and Fleet from the three-year-old

and two-year-old stakes, and now these are free for all

in fact,

"When stakes close so long before the date set for them
to be decided, there is little necessity for discriminating
against colts which have shown even phenomenal speed.
Especially in California. The climate gives an opportu-
nity for winter training, so that colts Y.hich have been
backward when the fair circuits came to a close, may
have progressed so rapidly as to make them "good com-
pany, for others which rated far superior, and then agaiu
we hear of colts which have been broken only a few
months ago, which gave promise of speed which will
place them in a good position though contending against
top sawyers.

There is another consideration. If a man has had the
good fortune to secure a colt which is at the head of the
class, he ought to have an opportunity to obtain the
benefit, and the parties who would like to keep hiru out
may be in the same situation hereafter when the pre-
cedent established would work to their injury.

We hope that the Napa Colt Stakes will Becure a
vaole lot of nominations, and have the utmost confidence
■;bat the response from breeders will be satisfactory,
"'here are abundaut reasons for a liberal support. The

Hscmation is popular, the track one of the very best in

ne State, the location is central, and the facilities for
.lausferring stock to the grounds all that can be desired-

It is not likely that people who are entirely ignorant
of the bearing that pool-selling and bookmaking have
on the horse-breeding interests of the State, should appre-
ciate the connection. Regarding any system of specula-
tion on races as gambling, somewhat akin to staking
money on the turn of a card or cast of dice, it is'not sur-
prising that utterances like the following are common.
"It is extraordinary that men of lucid intellect do not
see that there is no connection between horse-breeding
and book-making, and that the breed of horses would go
on improving, even though pool-selling were u.ade a
capital offenBe." That sentence was also a part of a
"leader" in a morning paper, and the author, unques-
tionably, believed firmly in the position assumed.

Like everything else in this world, racing and fast
trotting, and the breeding of race-horses and fast trot-
ters, are stimulated by the hopes of reward. A premium
which is inadequate to cover the cost of production is
not an incentive, and unless there are other sources of
remuneration the expense will not be incurred. Horse-
breeding is eniDhatically a speculative business. There
are chance to be taken at every stage, and from the time
that the stud is formed or the mare obtained, Fortune
has a good deal to do with the result.

Premiums, purses, stakes, whatever shape {.resented,
there are risks attached. "Show premiums" before
rendered available to the exhibitor, entail a payment
before the animal can compete. Purses as a rule are
burdened with an entrance fee and stakes are a combina-
tion of sums subscribed by the nominators, and gener-
ally an addition from the "racing fund" or as3ociation.
Exhibitors in the show-ring, those who "enter" in
purses, subscribers to stakes, accept the risks in hopes of
securing the prize. Similarly to those who own the
contestants, pool-buyers accept the hazard, or rather are
impressed with the idea that their judgment is superior
to that of others, and feel a greater or less degree of con-
fidence that their knowledge will prove correct.

Although chance is an element, pool-buying is not
gambling in the sense which applies that term to results
beyond the power of man to control. If a die is cast
from a box, without fraudulent manipulation, the
chances for an ace or six to come up are equal. Pool-
buying is more nearly akin to the purchase of grain or
other speculative merchandize, in which the buyer is
guided by what he considers will influence future values
He depends on superior knowledge, or fancies that his
penetrative faculties are keener than those who purchase
on the other side. The person who pays ten per cent, on
the amcunt of the purse does so with a belief that he will
gain by the operation, and the buyer of pools, or the
acceptor of wagers, is governed by the same motive.

But there is a more intimate connection between pool-
buying and horse-breeding than the opportunity offered
to invest with hopes, however fallacious, of an increase
of capital from the venture. To take the California
State Fair us an example, the part of the percentage,
which goes to the society, represents the large amount
of an annual income of from six thousand to upwards of
teu thousand dollars. Decrease the premiums by that
sum and the entries would be cut down to less than oue-
balf, and that source of revenue be also curtailed.

With smaller fields and interior animals the attend-
ance would be so greatly inferior that "gate receipts"

The quotation from a morning paper, which concludes
an editorial, is well worthy of the close attention of those
who are so deeply interested in the bearing that pool-
selling and bookmaking have on the horse-breeding in-
terests of California. In it there is a key to the situation-
The regulation of the "innate propensity of the human
heart to bet on uncertain events" is all that sensible men
seek to accomplish. They Tecognize the fact that all
attempts to eradicate the speculative leaning mast prove
abortive, and the wiser course to give a fair share of
freedom, while exerting so much restraint as to keep the
passion within moderate bounds. Another portion of
the sentence, in which the "innate propensity" is recog-
nized, is, "but that is no reason why we should allow
poolrooms to open thf-ir doors to boys, and tempt young
clerks to steal from their employers."

With a law such as we have advocated in the Statute
Book, a poolroom in the sense implied would be unknown
in California. With poolselling and bookmaking re-
stricted to home contests, the cheapest room obtainable,
where boys and young clerks could congregate, would
be beyond the profits. The whole business will then be
conducted where few minors or those who are classed as
young clerks can be troubled, and the speculative pro-
pensity Burrounded with safeguards. There is no danger
of corrupting society in this form of poolselling, and
the risk of becoming "flagrant" or "offensive" reduced
to a minimum. Confined to what may be termed the
legitimate sphere, speculating on races or other contests
will not give such offence as to lead moralists to seek its
suppression, but permitted full sway, and should action
be postponed at this session of the Legislature, the next
Assembly will be likely to insist on a clean sweop.

Meeting at the Palace Hotel.

Saturday evening last there was a meeting of the
committee on Public Morals held at the Palace Hotel.
It seems to us that there is a strange confusion of ideas
regarding the question of poolselling and bookmaking.
That it should be so intricate as to necessitate numerous
meetings of a legislative committee, before which are
summoned a troop of witnesses, the evidnce of which, in
the main, has neither relevancy or pertinacity is a phase
which is surely inexplicable. Outside of the question of
morality there is nothing which requires a great deal of
study to comprehend.

There are benefits connected with the speculation on
races, advantages to those who have investments in fast-
trotters and race horses, and to people who have expended
money in constructing tracks and the necessary struc-
tures appertaining to grounds on which exhibitions of
speed are presented. These benefits are derived from a
certain percentage, a commission exacted for doing the
business, and from an increased attendance, due to the
increased excitement which speculation engenders. This
enables managers of fairs and associations to give far
larger premiums than otherwise would prevail, and
this reverts, directly or indirectly, to the breeder.

The drawbacks attendant on unlimited poolselling and
bookmaking are readily stated and easily understood.
With four or more "rooms" in San Francisco doing bus-
iness on Eastern events, there is little interest taken in
home coutestB. The circuit of California fairs occupies
a season of the year when Eastern courses are holding
some of the most important meetings and when people
can choose between a free seat in a comfortable room,
with a vivid report of the race on which their money is
betted placed before them, or a journey of many miles
travelling and other expenses to meet, the trip to Santa
Rosa, Petaluma, San Jo3e, not to mention places further
away, will be given up in favor of the cosey corner in
"Pauper Alley." But the counter excitement is not the
greatest hiuderauce to home sports, as the immense

amount of money which is divested from channels which
ought to increase the stream of prosperity to those who
are interested in developing superior horses is an impor-
tant feature. According to the testimony of Mr. Jaynes,
Superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Com-
pany, the receipts for telegrams during the racing season
were $250 per day. Therefore our estimate, published
last week, of $50,000 for the expenses of the rooms for
a year, was much below the real state of affairs. When
profits are added to expenses it is safe to say that $100,-
000 is below the amount, not one dollar of which is a
benefit to breeders. Further than this, that when book-
makers are doing a good business they are prone to in-
dulge in the luxury of a fast trotter, and in New York
some of the best which are driven on the roads, are
owned by members of the fraternity. Unfortunately
the roads in the vicinity of San Francisco do not tempt
anyone to indulge in speed, unless that which can be
made available for track purposes, and until the speed
drive is thrown open to the public, investments in last
trotters will be limited.

But there is a still greater danger threatened than
reduced attendance at the meetings and fairs, even when
coupled with the absorption of money which otherwise
might aid in giving increased premiums for the encour_
agement of breeders. That is, that with unlimited
opportunities to wager on raciDg events, and that oppor-
tunity covering nearly every day in the year, the evil
will become so pronounced that whatever good there is
will have to suffer, beiDg so far overborn with the bad
that public opinion will demand the entire abrogation.
Already the daily papers are taking lexis from some
foolish evidence presented before the committee, and
though the evidence is twisted somewhat, it gave a color
of right to the arguments based upon s'atements made.
To claim that unrestricted betting on horse races is not
an evil, either proves that the person making the claim
has not a thorough knowledge of the bearing it has, or
lacks in perception. We must admit that with all due
care, and under laws which will eradicate by far the
largest part of objectionable features, there still will be
a chance for rigid moralists to denounce the practice of
poolselling and bookmaking. But while admitting that
much, we emphatically assert that the good will far
overbalance the evil when the only opportunity to spec-
ulate on races will be confined to events which are
decided in this State. Thousands and tens of thousands
have been ruined in what are considered legitimate
speculations to each individual that has suffered by bet-
ting on horses, and it would be equally as logical to
insist that all "boards," "bourses, " and "exchanges"
should be abolished, as that risks on horses should cease.

We copy the last paragraph of an editorial which
appeared in an influential San Francisco daily a few
mornings ago, in order to show that sentiment is trend-
ing towards seeking remedies to abate the ills which are
too apparent to be ignored, and that if the people who
are the -most interested in reform do not lend their
assistance, there is eminent danger of a total collapse.

The propensity to bet on races or other events of whioh
the issue is uncertain, appears to be iuate in the human
heart; but that is not a reason why we should allow pool-
rooms to open their doors to boys and tempt young clerks to
steal from their employers in order to make good their losses
on the turf. Some forms of vice may be incurable, but the
fact does not imply that we Bhould not try to prevent them
from becoming so flagrant and so offensive as to corrupt
society.

Arab's New Owner.

As was noticed in our issue of last week, Arab has been
bought and sent East, Messrs. Hickok, Williams and Rams-
dell selling Mm to James Golden of BoBton for the sum of
$8,000. $10,000 was the price stated, but as nearly all
prices quoted now-a-days are placed at a much larger sum
than is actually paid, bo it was in this case, the figure given
being as above. Many rumors have floated around as to the
cause of the purchase, it being generally accepted that Arab
was now to be used as a road horse by a gentleman living in
Boston, while not a few thought that he was going East to lie
worked in the nig circuit. The real facts of the matter are,
that Mr. John Shepard of Boston has long desired to own
the fastest pair of trotting horseB in tbe world, and in this
purchase he thinks he has attained his desire. When Mr.
Shepard made his record with Mill Boy and Blondine, the
time was considered wonderful. Then Mr W. H. Vander-
bilt drove Mand S. and Aldine a mile iu 2:15£. Ever since
then Mr. Shepard has determined to break that record, and
he think6 now he is in a fair way to do it. Mill Boy can
cover his mile in 2:15, and has always been too fast for
Blondine. In Arab, Mill Boy will have a worthy mate, and
if the pair hitch op well together, Mr. Shepard may realize
his ambition. A mistake hns also been made in mentioning
the name of the breeder of Arab; it was not Col. Frye, but Mr.
F. 8 Malone. Arab is now eleven years old, being foaled in
1878; he is by Arthurton first dam Lady Hercules, second
dam Nettie George, by Norfolk.

Ownership of Bonnie Scotland.

There appears to be a good deal of difficulty in over-
coming an erroneous impression in regard to the owner-
ship of Bonnie Scotland, when he was first brought to
Illinois. In a late article in the iV~. T. Sun, of which
"Veritas" is the author, in alluding to our horses, writes,
"and also at one time controlled the famous thorough-
bred Bonnie Scotland."

There was a disti act right to control him, inasmuch
as we traded a farm in Iowa for him, receiving some
"boot." The following spring we sold a half interest in
him to D. A. Gage, and the next year our remaining in-
terest to C. C. Pards, who afterwards became his sole
owner, "We were instrumental in his transfer to Tenn-
essee. General Jackson, accompanied by John P. Rey-
nolds, oame to our place near Chicago, tbe iutenticn of
General J. being to purchase Malcolm. "We persuaded
him to make the trip to Waukeg vu, where Bonnie was
kept, and following this advice Belle Meada became his
home. There is another error in the commonly accepted
history, that being coredited failure previous to the
change. For the nr nber of mares, he was what may be
termed remurkabl successful, showing such cracks as
Malcolm, Begen' Ontario, Frogtown, Nell Gwynne,
Scotland and many others, most of them from the few
mares «wned by Mr. Reber.

While correcting errors, it may be as well to rectify
some which appeared in the Breeder and Sportsman
of last week. Too much romance, in turning out Bonnie
Scotland on tho Moors to die, when he was the sixth
foal of his dam. But as "The Druid" gives a pleaiaut
bit of history in relation to the family, it is hereby
annexed:

queen mary's blood.

Many of the modern cracks have been drawn out of the
Doncaiter lucky-bag, and Mr. Ramsay found himself waver-
ing between Mendicant and Queen Mary on the morning of
Faugh-a-Ballagu'a St. Leger. Something put him against the
brown, for whom Mr. Gully gave 400 gs., and he got tbe bay
for a hundred less. Strange, indeed, that one of the pair
should be destined to win the Oaks and tbrow a Derby
winner, and that the other Bhould be the dam of Blink
Bonny and the grandam of Caller Ou as well. Mr. Ramsay
died five years later, and there was bo little promise about
the puny Haricot, that I'Anson heard a remark iu the crowd
to the effect that "some madman has given twenty pound
for her and the foal (Brasey)" (which is now in the Hampton
Court Stud), and smiled to think that he had given the com-
mission. Balrownie (a very good-looking horse), Blooming
Heather, and Bonnie Scotland made about £6,000 gs., iu
stakes and sales, and then I'Anson was compensated for
Queen Mary missing to Touchstone by the suspicious whioh
ripened into certainty, when he had sent her Melbourne filly
along for a few weeks.

BLINK BONNY.

She was the first of t e family he ever trained as a two-
year-old, and he never gave one more work, but a short T.
Y. C. was not tier line of business, and she was always a
most moderate beginner. William Scott, Sir Lydston New-
man'B present stud-groom, took a great fancy to her, both
for her own and his old Melbourne's sake, and advised Lord
Londesboro' to give the three thousand which I'AnBon offered
to take her for, after the Beverley meeting. This price waB
contingent on his b»ing allowed to train her, and when he
found that such was not his LoTdship's intention, he raised
it a thousand, and the bargain went off; and at the North-
allerton meeting he refused £5,000 from Mr. Jackson. She
throve pretty well till late in the autumn, but then the den-
tition fever, which was always peculiarly severe with the
Melbourne?, came on, and she Bank, as Blooming Heather
had done before ner, to a complete skeleton. She was always
leaning to the offside, as if flying from some unseen fury on
tho near, and they only dare tie her up with a string, to snap
if Bhe ran back in one of the paroxysms. Newminster's
teeth had punished him a good deal before the Derby, bat
his state must have been bliss iu comparison. After the
One Thousand, where her looks fairly shocked the public,
I'Anson told his family that he wouldn't take £1,000 to 1 d .
about her Epsom chance. Still on his return from Chester
she seemed to have got some relief, and although she would
seize her corn and then drop it as If it was red-hot shot, she
ate grass greedily, started her work once more, and crept on
very fast.

She seemed to improve on the journey up, and when she
galloped with Strathnaver at Epsom, she drew away from
him with her head down in her rare, old fashion. Charl-
ton'B orders were never to try and win till close on the poBt,
Bud be did it without asking her a question. I'Anson hardly
knew what to think before they started, or when the race
was running. He twice thought she looked like her old self
at the whins, as she was setting her ears back and flinging
up her tail as she always did when she meant vengeance.
Then, although he Bwept the thirty backwards and forwards
with hiB glasses, he could never find her yellow cap again,
and when he did, he mistook it for something else, till they
were close at home. On the Oaks day, her form waB fully
half u stone better, but Charlton as nearly as possible broke
his stirrup iron, coming round Tattenham Corner.

Balrownie was troubled with sand-cracks, and was bad to
train in consequence. I'Anson thought he had tried him
high enough to win the St- Leper; but he injured his hock in
his trial, and had to be stopped in his work; and with a view
to the DoncaBter Stakes, he was not rid dun out when win-
ning was hopeless. Mr. Padwick gave £2,000 for him; and
old John Pay was delighted with his trial, and so was
Wells, who rode him. He was a very unfortunate horse
When he ran with Virago, at York, he was so severely kicked
at the post, that the starter felt bound to give him a little
time to recover from it; and he got pricked in his shoeing
before he met Rataplan, at Manchester. Blooming Heather
shyed at a butcher's cart coming through London, and was
si ill quite stiff from slipping upon the stoceB, when she
went for the OukB. Bonnie Scotland neaily broke his leg
at two years old, and never could be got thoroughly fit. He
had tbe greatest constitution of the family, and was the
moat indolent at exercise that I'Anson ever bad to du with;
and the last heard of him was, rhat be had won Ihe Great
Prize for sires at Cincinnati, Ohio, against Lexington and all
comers.

(Lexington did not show against him,— J. C. S.)

Dates of Pairs.

Editor Breeder akd Sportsman:— Breeders seem to hav*
pome axe to grind on fair dates. Tbe managers of the Stale
Fair are given choice by California of^choosing a date. They
would not do their duty if they did not choose the best date
for their fair. The 9ih of September may not be any better
than the 17th, but would the 17th suit those who come after
better, and those who come before as well? If so, why bo?
There doeB not seem to be any point in breeders views except
to show a desire to fix the State Fair date. Believing that
the State Fair is of more value to me than my district fair. I
concur in the date fixed by the managers of the State Fair,
and will also in the date of my district fair.

PetalumaCoIt Stakes.

Owning to the pressure of business last week we were un-
able to notice the Peta'uma Colt Stakes, but with pleasure do
so this week. This Association has always had a misfor-
tune to have their fair week at the same time some other
prominent city or town held theirs, yet still we find that
the Petaluma Fair is always a Bnccess, notwithstanding the
opposition, and thoBe who go once always return. This
year, as usual, the directors have produced an excellent pro-
grammp, three being two-year-old and three-yesr-old stakes,
free for all, vith liberal pursep, while *bo district iB not for-
gotten, four stake races being given for tj alone. Tbe condi-
tions and terms will be found under its proppr heading and
is worth perusing by all who have colts or fillies of meiit.

Balkan 2:29 1-2.

Owing to an error in date, Mr. Wallace .has heretofore re-
fused to accept Balkan's record of 2 29£ as a public perform-
ance, but tbe matter has been explained so satisfactorily to
him, that tbe following notice appears iu the last number o
"Wallace's Monthly:"

Since going to press with the forms containing the 2:30
list of the year, we learn that tbe performance of Balkan,
2:29}, at Oakland, Cal., was erroneously published as ocenr-
ling on October 9th, instead of November 9th. This re-
moves the objection against accepting the performance as a
record, and Balkan will appear in the next Year-Book with a
record of 2:29.\.

Names Claimed.

I claim the name of Aotecellofor bay colt, black points,
star in forehead, foaled March 23, 1887, bred by C. K. Lewis,
Oakland, Cal. By Antevolo, 1st dam Ruby by "Wiuthrop;

driver made the son of RVSUYK'S II AM BLETu.M AN beat his best previous record; how he won races with him at all ways of going- in harness, to wagon, and unoer the saddle, finally terminating a brilliant turf

T. J. DUNBAR

The rearing, management, and education of trotting bred colts is a subject in which not only breeders, but thousands of men in other walks of life who have a fancy for horBe flesh are deeply interested, and no man
is better qualiiied to write on this subject than Mr. D.mhar, wlm-s Superintendent of the Fashion Stud Farm at Trenton, N. J. That he has done so in a manner that is at once entertaining and interactive will be apparent
t-» every reaHer of the hook, anil this fe iture of the work is one tlmt mimt be read to be fully appreciated. Mr. Dunbar is, firs' of all, a thorough horseman, a first class driver and trainer, and hiB mind is of the
thoughtful sort, and achieves good results in any work to w ich it is applied. In this book he tells just now a foil should be tre ited from the hour of its birth until it develops Into a tull-nedged trotter, and at the same

Cost of WinteriDg Race-Horses.

Few turf frequenters, nays the "St. Louis Republic," think
or care much ubout how race-borses live during the winter.
They watch the last race of the season and then dismiss the
whole thing from their minds until the spring rolls nrouod
and their interest in awakened by seeing the bookmakers
break into print. Horse owners, of coarse, are not to l e
counted in this clnss. The Dwyers, for example, ever sine*-
last fall, have been feeding and lodging 50 horses aud 100,
employes. They are harbored at Gruvesend, and make a
little community of themselves, with trainer Frank McCabe
as their mayor, governor, president or doctor, whichever
te m may suit your fancy best. The stable-men are coloniz. d
ic a roomy collection of apartments, embracing a kitchen,
d, nine-room, sitting-room, ihe latter having an immense
nve, around which the men Hit and swap prevarications.

, be kitcheu is presided over by an ebony cook, who, on coin
ead, fried chicken and sweet lutein, cau beat the woii 1.

J is number of employes will not appear excessive when it is
< innidered that a race-horse of anytning like good standing
has a man and a boy tor attendants. His keep, eta low aver-

age, is $4 a day, for his 12 quarts of oats mast be of the best,
and the carrots the choicest to be found in the maTket. He
has three of the squarest kind of ineais a day, a thorough
grooming and careful exercise. Breakfest coupists of oats.
At 8 o'clock he is given his canter, out doors or under cover,
according to the weather. AL 10 o'clock be is back in his
stall, nibbling at a hay lunch. At noon he is given oats
mixed with chopped carrots, the latter to keep his bowel-*
regular. At sundown, in order to give bim something tbat
will stand by him through the night, he is fed with a hot
mash of oats, bran and oracked corn. This generouw hospi-
tality to about 50 horses aud 100 stablemen costs the Dwyers
about $6,000 a mouth.

About San Simeon.

The following uews from the Hean-t stable is clipped from
the N. Y. Sporting World:

If any one wants to Bee the pick of Matt Allen's at exer-
cise, they will have to get down here very eaily. ns Matt is
a p before the sun every morniog. In the last two or three
letters from here I have spoken of Sm Simeon, who at 105
pounds looked like having a good lighting chance for the
Subnrl an. I have liaen told recently, however, tbat unless
he is a very differei t kind of a horse from wb.Ht he has
shown himself in his work, he will I e nowhere. The princi-
pal fauit with bim is the distance, ns it is entirely too far for
him. Last year, in his work, lo get him to cover seven fur-
longs in any kind of time whatever, it was necessary to fun
him very vigorously. He certainly looks pram! just now,
and is better, bis people claim, than he ever was before iu
his life. All the rest nf the horses in Allen's charge are
doing exceedingly well, but tnej will not be worked seriously
before the middle of March.

DESCRIPTION.

JUDGE McKTNSTRY is a bright bay with black

Eoints, lli# hands in height, of a conformation com-
tning power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for their gameness and fleetness. Speakin of
JUDGE McKINsTRY. Matt stom, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of ttie present record." He
was started in several races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well known to
need repetition here. Good judges of horses st ite pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us to
name both sires.

Terms: 875 payable when the mare is moved from
ranch, or, -Sion, with the usual privilege. Good pastur-
age, S3 per month. Mires at owners risk. All com-

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; Btands 15 hands % inches high; weighs
1,200 pounds, and is uf excellent disposition. When

of 2:26^;. Has been driven a mile in "2:16 in bis tour-
year-old form, andhas been drive a last half in l :0 .
Alexander Butt"n is a natural trotter, inherited
through the speed-lines of bis ancestors, and imparts
hie speed to bis offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosie Jilc, aB a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks; has
a record of 2:20^". R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
ha- dling.paceda 2 :1b gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 16 to 2:20. Considering
that Aljxander Button has never been mated with a
Btandard-bred mare— his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, be is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

RATHBONE.

Bred at the Palo Alio Stud— F aled March
13, 1881.

K AT H BONE IS A VERY HANDSOME SH VDE
of brown, the only white a small star in forehead.
He is of almost unexceptionable form. 15 bands 3
inches in height, of immense power and substance, and
also of tbe highest quality.

He was never in "or "er" to run, and vet he has
shown well, better by far than could have been ex-
pected under the circumstances.

March 11, isatj, on the Bay District course, car-
rying 5 pounds over-weisht (lis lbs.) lie defeated,
in a stake for two-year- dds, Voltigeur, C. H. Todd,
Notidle and Leap Year, the h If mile being run in 49&
seconds. He has shown quarters in "i secondhand is
so stoutly bred that he could hardly fail to go a dis-
tance itt a high rate of speed.

His blood lines could not be improved. His sire,
Young Prince, is the only stallion that lean recall
imported from England to'the United states with n°ar
strains of stockwell and King Tom blood, these noted
horses being the paterml and maternal grandsiresof
YoungPrince. The family of his dam, Lady Amanda,
ranks nigh among ihe noted clans of America. Mal-
colm, Regent, Ontario, McWhirter, Lady MiJdleton,
etc. The following is a tabulated pedigree :

ported Tranby, present such a combination of ultra
fashionable blood as is rarelv equalled. Young Prince
was bred by James .Smith. Kngland; foaled 1870.
See Knglishstud Book, Vol. XIII., page 3fi3.

With proper mares there is no quest-on that RATH.
BONE will get race-horses, witha certainty of getting,
from anv good mares, valuable horses for harness and
saddle, with a fair show of a fast trotter, as RATH-
BONE is a capital road-horse and shows a good gait
without any troiting practice further than occasional
drives on the road. He is one of the "best disposed"
horses imaginable without trick or vice of any kind.

In order to place his services within the reach of
those who feel that they c nnot pay the high price
demanded for fast trotting sires his services are put
at the exceedingly low price of $26 the season.

permanent cure where firirjgfa'ujd, although perfo med by one of

I have long used it in my stables, and find it to be all
that is claimed for it in removing callous andui.natural
bony growths, without leaving the si ghtest bleminh.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully.

ST. NICHOLAS,

Owned by JOHN ROWEN, Oakland Trotting Park.

The above cut is a very good representation of this favorite |
eon of Sidney, and were the color reproduced, there would be
little necessity for further description. He is a very truly
proportioned colt, his color a bright bay, and is action good.
He has shown so much speed from the training he has had
that it is nearly certain that he will trot very fast when his
education is completed.

St. Nioholas has four crosses of Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
three from Sidney; and one from his dam. As will be seen
from the following pedigree, there is also a cross of Harry
Clay and American Star. Sidney, his sire, hag proved to be
the most wonderful progenitor of pacers that has ever been
known, two of his get showing phenomenal speed last year,
Tvhen only three yearb old, viz.: Adonis, who paced in 2:14$,
a fourth heat, and Gold Leaf a third heat in 2:15. Fleet was
the crack yearling of last year, haviug made a mile in 2:36,
and another good yearling was Geo. V., who in 1887 gained a
record of 2:51] in an actual race.

St. Nicolas was bred by G. Valensin at Arno Stock Farm,
Sacramento Co., Cal., and foaled in 1885. He is 15£ hands
high, with plenty of length and muscular development. As
will be seen by the accompanying pedigiee, his ancestry on
all sides have gained distinction. His first dam is Towhead
by Echo; second dam Silvertail, claimed to be by a thorough-
bred horse.

Eoho, 462. record 2:37i, sire of Bell Eoho 2:20,

Viotor 2:22$, and fi>e others better than 2:30, and the dam
of Direct, three-year-old stallion record 2:23.

Sidney, by Santa Clans 2:17$, 2000, sire of San Mateo,
record 2:28.

FirBt dam Sweetness, record 2:21$, by Volunteer, 55, sire
of St. Julian 2:114, Gloster 2:17, Alley 2:19. Bodine 2:194,,
Driver 2.19£, and twenty-two more from 2:20$ to 2:30; also
sire of dams of sixteen from 2:194; to 2 30.

Second dam Ladv Merritt, by Edwin Everett, SI, sire of
Jndge Fullerton 2:18, Electric 2:20, Sheridan 2:20$, and ten
more in the 2:20 list, and the dams of seven better than 2:30.

Third dam by Harry Clay, 45, record 2:29, sire of two in
the 2:30 Hot, and of the dams of St. Julian 2:11$, Bodine
2:19$, Elaine 2:20, and fifteen more in the 2:30 list; also
Electioneer, the great sire of trotters.

Echo, 462, by RyBdyk's Hambletonian, 10, Bire of Dexter
2:17$, Nettie 2:18, Orange Girl 2:20, Jay Gould 2:20£, George
Wilkes 2:22, and thirty-seven more in the 2:30 list, and sire
of the dams of Trinket 2:14, Stamboul 2.-14J, Orange Boy
2:ISj{, Wilton 2:19$, David L. 2:19A, Prinneton 2:19}, Ruby
2:19$ and thirty eight more from 2":20 to 2:30.

First dam Fanny Felter, by Magnolio, 68, sire of Magno-
lia, record 2:26$, and dam of Chester F. 2:28$, by American
Star, 14, four in the 2:30 list, and of the dams of Dexter
2:17$. Driver 2:19$, Joe Bunker 2:19$, Nettie 2:18, Orange
Girl' 2:20, Robert McGregor 2:17§, and thirty-Beven in the
2:30 list.

Third dam by Shakespeare, a son of Duroc.

Items From Arizona-

Phoenix, Arizona, February 15, 1889.
Horse matters have been so dull here that I have had noth-
ing of interest to write for months, and although my items
now are of little moment, still they may prove readable to the
horsemen and breeders of this section. On the 26th nit. we
had a trotting race here, in which considerable interest was
manifes'.ed. The owners put fifty dollars each in the pool,
there beiDg six entries, with the proviso that the second horse
was to save its entrance money. One of the entries was
scratched, leaving five to contend for the honors. Two of
the horses were handicapped, inasmuch that Harry D. and
Koxie gave the balance 100 feet start. The following is the
summary:

B. tioldman's Sorrel Prince 1 1

E. J. Edward's Harry D •* 2

G. E. Loring's Rorie 3 a

M. McCann'a Bessie * *

P.Cobel'a Major B 6 6

Time, i(:56, 2:48.

Boxie, who is by Index, was driven in this race by the
twelve-year-old son of Mr. Loring, and handled the ribbonB
with the coolness of a Doble or a Splan. By the way, I have
never heard of so young a lad driving in a match race, and
donbt if its equal can be shown.

We are to have a three days' meeting here on March 14th,
15th and 16th, at which purses for trotters, pacers and run-
ners will be offered. There will, in all probability, t.e a three
minute class, 2:40 class and a free-for-all. Although so far
from the haunts of the Eastern horsemen, we are at times
visited by Califoraian representatives; Sleepy Dick having
run here, being announced as a fall brother to a horse used
by one of the cowboys. Lida Ferguson was called Bed Bird,
and Wells Fargo for ihe nonce travelled under the name of
Frank. Lida was evidently not at herself when sbe ran, as
one of our local celebrities beat her; half mile and repeat in
50, 50i and 50 seconds, which Bhows we have good Bhort
distance horses in this territory.

Frank, or Wells Fargo, was identified by a gentlemen who
bad seen him trot in 2:29, so a protest was entered and the
so-called owner placed tinder oath. He swore that Frank
was eligable to tne three-minute class; a hard way to gain
possession of a few dollars, is it not? The residents are
beginning to take an active interest in breeding good horses,
and we have many here who can beat three minutes. Index
was the first well-bred stallion brought to this valley, and has
ld-t many of bis get to remember the grand old hoise by.
There is also here the stallion Adrian, by Almont, a very well
bred horse, -vho has coursing through his veins the blood of
the Black Hawks and Clays. There is also a hoise called
Pacific, by Sultan, dam by Dan VoorheeB. Climax, another
good one, and several others less well known. It will not be
long before this section will tarn out some first-class trotters,
when you are likely to hear from them. The climate here is
delightful, and puts me very much in mind of Los Angeles;

San Jose Blood Horse Association.

LaBt Saturday afternoon a party of gentlemen interested in
horse racing met at the office of Montgomery and Bea in San
Jose, and instituted the San Jose Blood Horse Association.

Boots; Treasurer, San Jobc National Bank. On motion it
was decided to have seven directoro, four in addition to the

Racine at Sacramento.

Every Saturday afternoon one or more races is given at
the Sacramento track, and as it is becoming better known
the crowd increases from week to week. The following
notice is clipped from the Bee.

The announcement of races at Agricultural Park on Satur-
day afternoon had the effect of drawing a fair crowd of lovers
of turf sports to the race track.

The first event on Saturday was a pacing race, $100 a
side, between Ober's Little Doo, to cart and carrying 175
pounds, and Hodson'B Johnnie Skelton, to harness and car-
rying inle weight — 150 pounds. Johnnie Skelton proved the
victor, taking the third and fourth heats in 2:34£ and 2:31.
The first heat was a dead heat in 2:36, and Little Doc won
the second heat in 2:35.

The second race was a trot between Mason's Woodbine,
by Jim Mulvenna, and Gardner's St. Lucas. St. Lucas cap-
tured the first heat in 2:52, and Woodbine the next two and
race in 2:47 and 2:50.

Trotting Colt Stakes.

The State Agricultural Society have opened the following
colt stakes for trotters:

No. 1 — For two year-olds; $50 entrance, of which $10
mnst accompany nomination; $15 payable July 1st, and
remaining $25 payable August 10, 1889. $300 added by the
Society.

No. 2— For three-year olds; $100 entrance, of which $25

in Sacramento, Maroh 15, 1889.

but had failed. She was bought as a thoroughbred daughter
of Lexington, but present appearance indicated that upon the
future pages of history the gandam of the fastest two-year-
old trotter ever foaled mnst be classed among the long list of
"unknown." Now Mr. Gould's scent for an obscure pedigree
is as keen as that of the finest fox hound ever bred, for the
trail of Reynard, and he suggested that as he had a little
spare time which he would like to devote to the receration of
pedigree hnnting, he would see what conld be done in the
way of getting at the faots regarding Waxy'B origin.

He setatout the task at once, soon struck the trail, followed
it persistently, going 1600 mileBupon one trip away upon the
Columbia Biver, to find a man who went across the plains in
the same train with Waxy, and at the end of six weeks time
succeeded in learning her breeder, and getting at all the facta
concerning her ancestry. These facts are at present only
known to Mr. Gould and Senator Stanford, but will soon
be given to the public. Every horse breeder in America will
rejoice to know that the blood lines of Waxy are established,
no matter whether she originated from the slowest and coars-
est of cart horseB, the more insigDficant Canuck, the choicest
of thoroughbreds or the swiftest of Narragausett pacers.

Stamboul.

The name of Mr. Crawford, of Lexington, Ky., has been
used quite freely within the past few days in connection
with the purchase of Stamboul. We made mention last
week that Mr. James Golden of Boston had an option on
him for ten days, presumedly for a wealthy breeder of Mass-
achusetts. Mr. Golden started at once for the East, to try
and consummate the sale, of which he had very strong hopes,
and it is altogether probable that before this issue reaohes
our readers the sale will be effected. Other parties, how-
ever, desire to purchase the now celebrated stallion, and
Mr. O. A. Hickok received a telegraphic message from the
East on last Thursday night, authorizing him to pay a de-
posit on the horse, and stating that the balance of the money
v. on Id be forwarded at once.

In compliance with the request, Mr. Hickok Btsrted at
once for Los Angeles, and, much to his chagrin, *as con-
fronted with the annoying fact that Mr. Golden's option had
not expired, and that he would have to wait until the 24th
inst. before his offer could be listened to. Mr. Hickok ex-
amined Stamboul, and says he never witnessed Buch a per
feet horse, Bound in every particular, or, to use his own
phraseology, "he hasn't a pimple." Mr. Boae, who is at
present iu the city, declares that Stamboul is capable of
i rotting in 2:12, and he fully means to have him do it unless
Bold. The horse has served twenty-one of Mr. Rose's high
clasB mares, but hiB service has not been public, the owner
having refused quite a number of mares from other owners.

Waxy'e Pedigree.

Some few weeks ago we were pleased to meet Mr. Levi S.
Gould, of Boston, who was on theie coast trying to ferret out
the pedigree of Waxy. Every facility was given Mr. Gould
by all who could in any way contribute to the success of his
miBsiou, Mr. Charles M. Chase of this oity, especially giving
much time and attention to the matter. Mr. Gould has re-
turned to Boston and has had an interview with the editor
of the Cultivator, and the following is from that paper:

We were lately favored with a very pleasant call from the
champion pedigree tracer, Mr. Levi S. Gould of thiB oity, who
in company with Mrs. Gould has Bpent several weeks in Cali-
fornia thiR winter. Mr. Gould though leas voluble than some
hoisemen, has es keen an eye for a good one as (he best
While in the Golden State he visited several of the most
prominent horse-breeding establishment^!, including the fam-
ous Palo Alio ranch, where he was highly entertained by tht
courteous superintendent, Charley Marvin, of Smuggler
(2;15J) fame. When the beautiful phenomenon Sunol (two-
year-old 2:18) was led out and admired, Mr. Gould inquired
the breeding of her second dam.

Mr. Marvin assured him that several horsemen had at.
tempted to unravel the mystery which enveloped her origin

Valuable Horses Lost.

The following account of the lose of Prince Io and Ossary
was telegraphed to the San Francisco daily papers:

The English racehorses Ossory and Prince Io died at sea
on the 3d and 8th inst. respectively, while on their way to
this port in the National line steamer Queen, and their bodies
were thrown overboard. Both were consigned to William
Easton of this city, but Ossoiy was owned by Milton Young
of McGrathiana's stud, Lexington, Ky., who will deeply re-
gret his loss.

The horses died from exhaustion, due to the seventv of
the voyage.

The Queen left Liverpool on January 31st, and the animals
were then in the pink of condition. They occupied box-
Btalls expressly fitted for them, and were" in charge of a
careful and experienced man named Brett. Gale after gale
struck the vessel, and the racers were knocked off their feet
time and again. It was almost impossible for them to Btand
up, and when not thrown down in their stalls they were
smashed against the aides with terrific force. There was no
let-up to the terrible usage. Night and day the gale con-
tinued, from the time of the steamer's departure from Liver-
pool, and Brett was almost wild at his inability to save the
horses from injury. Ossory succumbed on the 3d inst., and
was thrown overboard. Prince Io stood it five days longer,
and he died on the 8th inst., when his carcass was weighted,
and thrown into the ragiog sea.

Young, through his agent, pdid the Dake of Westminster
$10,000 for OsBory. He was chestnut in color, and a full
brother to the great Ormonde, being by Ben d'Or, dam Lily
Agnes, by Macaroni. As a two-year-old Ossory won the
Criterion stakes, bix furlongs, at the Newmarket- Hough ton
meeting, from a field of eight. As a three-year-old he ran
nine races, winning three — the Prince of Wales stakes at
Ascot, and the great Yorkshire stakes and Boyal Post stakes
at Newmarket. He alBO ran a dead heat with Galore.

Against Trotting Frauds.
One of the special misfortunes of the trotting tnrf, and one
that has caused more chagrin ;to its true friends than anv
other during its entire existence as an American institution,
has been the successful execution of various frauds. These
have been mainly in the way of "ringing'' and in the fixing
the racing bo that an inferior horse should win over those
that have more speed and quality. SchemeB of these kinds
have been successfully attempted over the beet tracks, because
their projectors are, as a rule, very shrewd men, but they
have been Bhamefully prevalent over the tracks of the smaller
associations and at the numerous county fairs. To defeat
these schemes, which lay the axe at the roots of the popular-
ity of the trotting sjBtem, has been one of the special func-
tions of the National Trotting Association and of its young
associate, the American Association, and muen has been done
in the way of detecting and punishing such offenders by these
great organizations; bnt the peicentage ot punishment to
turf crime committed has been very small, and the neceBsitv
for other and closer scrutiny of what is done is evident. The
grand circuit tracks and others of approximate class usually
detect arrant frauds and punish them fearlessly, but the great
mass of the trotting races oconr at the half mile tracks and at
the county fairs, wbere the greed for entries prevents the
prompt and severe punishment of offenders. The inevitable
result of this is that the public, distrusting the honesty of
the alleged contests it is invited to see, loses its interest in
the sport, and does not give it its practical support.

Very close to the management of most trotting tracks are
the trainers and drivers, especially those who live in the near
vicinity of each track. They are shrewd men as a class, and
they are out for business, one and all. Thev have found in
the most practical way that they have made their money
through the crooked ways of the turf, rather than otherwise,
and they have become wedded to those wav s. The fair asso-
ciation that wishes to succeed, therefore, finds that it must
wink at much that is off color, or it will lose th* powerful aid
of this class, and the association usually yields toe point.

All this is not because the horsemen are naturally dishonest,
Ab a class they are as strongly in favor of squaie dealing as
any other, but the unfortunate early influences that control-
led trotting matters still control them, and the results are as
have been described, to the shame of the great and eminently
respectable interest that breeds and trots horseB. Given a
chance, the majority of the trainers and drivers would prefer
the honest way.

The remedy lies in the concerted action of the reputable
gentlemen who control the fairs and the half mile traoks. If
they will unite, however loosely in other ways, but closely in
the matter of suppression of fraud, and with an absolute pur-
pose to have no trotting except that which is honeBtly con-
ducted, they will after no loDg time weed out the incorrigible
wrong doers and purify their branch of the tnrf completely.
Then the public, having regained its coDtldeDce in the sport
will give it all the support that it merits, and the resnk will
be a return of the halcyon days of American trotting.

A practical step in this direction has been taken iu the call
for a convention of representatives of county fairs and half
mile tracks at Lancaster, Pa., this week. The object of the
convention is to form an association for the prevention of
such frauds as have beeu referred to. A very large number
of tracks and fair associations will be represented, and it is
quite possible that the result may be the foundation of an
association that will briug about a new era in trottinc —
Sporting World. - B"

OF THE
SWEDISH HORSE.
I had the Honour to Wait on the Queen of Sweden when
she was at Antwerp, and she used me very Graciously, and
Civilly; and an Extraordinary Lady, I assure yon, she is in
All things: Bat for the Swedish Horses she had for the
Saddle, there was no Great Matter in Them; She had Eight
Coach-Horses, large and noble-Shap't, of the Count of Olden-
burg's Breed, which were Beyond any Coursers that ever yet
I Baw: their Colours Isabels, with long White Manes, Tails
and Toppings: and these she sent into Spain, for a Present to
the Catholick King: And it was a Kingly Present, fit for
such a Queen to Present, and for so Gieat a King to Receive.

OF

WHAT STATURE

A Horse is Best,

EITHER FOR

*a

The WAR, or for a SINGLE-COMBAT,

or For

ANY THING ELSE.

There are Great Disputes amongst Cavaliers about this
Business: I will not trouble you much about their Argu-
ments, but only Deliver unto you my Opinion. Those that
are for High and Large Horses, say, They are fctrong for the
Shock: But they must Know, that all Large Horses are not
Strong; nay, for the most part they are not only the Weakest
Horses, but commonly of no Spirit o** Action.

Put the Case, a Great Horse were Strong, yet he is so Tall,
and his Strength Diffused, and iudeed so out of his Strength,
that a Midling Horde (entre deux felles) or rather a Less
Horse, being Under him, and in his Strength, would certainly
Overthrow him: So that a Midling Horse, or a Less, is Best
for the War, or a Single-Combat, without all Doubt.

Midling-Horses, and Less Horses have, for the most part,
both Strength, Spirit, and Agility, and not one in an Hundred
but proves Well; when of Large Horses not one in a Thous-
and does: Nay, the Midling, or Less Horse, is Best for All
Things; for the Padd, Buck-Hunting, Hawking-Naggs, or
Geldings; for Hunting-Horses, Horses for Winter-Gallopping
on the High-Way many Miles; for the Coach, for the Cart, for
Any Thing. And if they should Fall, a Little Horse would
do the Rider Less Hurt than a Greater Horse, to lie upon
him. Geldings, and Gelt-Naggs, are fitter for Great Journeys,
or Hunting, or Hawking in Summer, than Ston'd Horses; for
their Heat, with the Heat of the Weather, soon Heats their
Feet, and Founders them; whereas, Geldings are Colder,
and so Travel Better, and not Tire so soon in the Heat of
Summer.

THAT THERE ARE

FEW GOOD HORSES.

Now I must Tell you, That there are Good and Badd
Horses of all Countries in the World; but there are more
Badd than Good, as there are of Men: And though there be
Millions of Painters, yet there was but one Vandike in many
Ages, or, I believe, shall be: The like in Muslck, in Horse-
manship, in Weapons, and in Horses; for a Rare Horse in
any Kind, is a Difficult business to bnd, I assure you: It is
a Hard thing to rind Fit Horses for the Mannage, either upon
the Ground, or in Ayres. It is true, Art doth much, but
Nature ib the Ground for Art to Work on; for, without it,
Art can do but Litile.

I daie Undertake to Make a Cow go Just in the Mannage,
but when I have Done that, it is but a Cow: And so a Jade
that is Drtst, he is but a Jade when you have done all you
Can.

I assure you, it is a very Hard thing to find a Good Fadd-
Nagg, or a Good Padd-Gelding, to Amble finely upon the
Hanches, and from his Amble to his Gallop, or from his
Amble to hie Trot, and firm on the Hand: Upon the Bitt I
have setn very Few worth any thing, and as few Good Buofc-
Huuters, or Hawking-Naggs, or Winter Hunting-Geldings,
or Horses to Gallop or Run surely upon All Grounds, Plowed
Lands, Moors, Parks, Forrests, and every where, with a
Snaffle, and a Scotch Saddle, the Rains slack in his Neck,

which makes him very much the Safer for Ihb Rider, because
hi Gal'ops upon the Hanches.

Let i-i6 Tell yon, that Running-Horses are the most Easily
found, and of the least Use; commonly they Run upon
Heaths (a Green Carpet) and must there Run all-upon the
Shoulders, which in Troublesome Grounds is ready to Break
ones Neck, and of no Use; Though I Love the Snort of a
Running Horse very Well, and think I am as Good a Jockey
as any, and have Ridden many Hundred Matches, and Seen
the Best Jockeys, and Studied it more than, I think, they
have Done.

You see how Difficult a thing it is to Have a Good Horse in
any Kind, for Any thing: Therefore I conclude, That a
Knowing Horse-man in not so Happy for Horses, as a Citizen
of London, that knows Nothing, more Than to Buy a Horse
in Smithfield, for Eight Pound Ten Shillings, or there-
abouts, to Carry him to Nottingham, or to Salisbury; and let
him have n< ver so many Faults, his Ignorance finds none:
Wherein he is very Happy.

More
OBSERVATIONS

Concerning
HORSES.

The Turks are the moBt Curious in Keeping their Hoises
of any Nation; and Value them, and Esieem them most:
They have all the Ways of Dressing them, and keeping them
Clean, that can be Imagined. They Cloath them first with a
Fine Linnen Cloth and Hood next their Skin; then with a
Hair-Cloth and Hood, Lined with Felt, over their Linnen
Cloth and Hood: And all these are made so Fit, as to Cover
their Breasts, and to come pretty low down to their Leggs.
There cannot be a Better Way than this for their Clothin .

The Spaniards are also very Curious about their Horses in
all things; and their Grooms bo Dilieent, as they never Stay
long Out of the Stable, but are Always doing something about
them; and especially are Curious about their Manes. Top-
pings, and Tayles, making them Clean divers Ways; Wash-
ing them, and Pleating tbem. They esteem Highlv their
Horses, and no Nation Loves them Better. The Master is
Continually in the Stable, to see the Grooms do their Duty;
but, for all that, the Spaniards and the Turks are none of the
Best Horse- men; they Ride Short, have Strange Spurrs, and
Saddles, especially Bitts, which are most Abominable.

The Italians are very Careful and Neat about their Horses;
but they have of late Lost their Latine in Riding, or else they
never Had it; and our Ignorance make us Think they did
Rarely.

Some of the French are Curious in Keeping and Dressing
their Horses; but, for the most part, Not: They highly
Esteem Horses, and will give great Prices for them. But
French Grooms never Rub a Horses' Leggs well.

The AlmaiDs, or High-Germans, Love Horses well: Some
say, They are very Curious, but Me-thmks not. They Com-
mend their Grooms Extreamely, but I think they do not
Deserve it. Certainly the Best Grooms are English Grooms;
but no Grooms are Goo 1, Except the Master looks striotly
after them; for, the Master's Eye makeB the Horse well Drest,
as according to the Proverb, The Master's Eye makes the
Horse Fat.

Denmark, Swede, Poland, Transylvania, Hungary, and
all those countries, are much like the AlmainB, for Little
Curiosities, in Keeping and Dressing their Horses; and all
their Riding alike: No Man in Germany will Ride without
a Cavazone, though he Knows not the Use of it at all, nor
whattq do with it. In Flanders, Brabant, and those Parts;
as also in Holland, and those Parts, they are much like the
Germans.

The i^mperour of Muscovy, I have Heard, hath a Stable of
Hoisob, and a French Rider: He hath some Hors s come
out of Tartaric, and Turkey, but none Good in his own
Country. A Rider is of no great Use there, except he could
Dress, and make a Ready Bear; of which there is Plenty,
and the? have Noble Races of those Beasts.

In tLe Mogul's Country there is nothing to Dress, except
you would Dress ElephantB; and the Best Horses they have,
come out of Persia.

Sir Walter Rawley told me, That in the West-Indies there
were the Finest Shap't Horses, and the Finest Colours in the
World, beyond all Spanish Horses and Barbs that ever he
Eaw; and they knew there so Little the Use of Horses, that
they Killed them for their Skins.

InDenmaik there are Excellent good Horses; and in Nor-
way little Strong Horjes, but not so Purely Shap't. I saw
Six Norway Horses in a Coach, very little Horses, Isabella,
with White Manes, and White .Tayls; Borne of their Heads
are a little loo Bigg; but very Fine little Hoises, and Strong.

For Iteland Horses, they are all Curlled like their Doggs,
and bo Curled, that no Curry-Comb can Dress them, nor any-
thing Else: And they are but Dull Jades.

WHAT
STALLION

Is Best for the

MANNAGE,

The Ordering of him before he

MOUNTS THE MARES,

What Kind of MareB, When, and How, they should be put

Together for GENERATION.

The Best Stallion in Our land is, A Well-Shap't Spanish
Horse, with a Superfluity of Spirit, and Strength, Docil, and
of an Excellent Disposition, and good Nature, which is the
Chief thing in a Stallion; for if he be of an ill Disposition,
Vitious. or Melancholly, all his Offsprings will Participate of
it, and will Never be Drest, or made Perfect Horses as they
should Be.

He Ought to be of a Good Colour, to give the Race a good
Dye; and W ell-Mark' t, to Agree with most Men's Opinions:
Though Marks and Colours be Nothing at all to Know the
Goodness of a Horse, nor Shape nether; but, the Abundance
of Spirits, and a Strong Chine, be the most Considerable:
Yet, by any Means, I would have him Perfectly Shap't, for
the Beautifying of your Race; for a Handsome Horse may
be as Good as an Ill-favoured Horse; and an Ill-favoured
Horse as Good, as a Handsome Horse.

I would have you Feed him four or five Mouths before he
Covers, with Good Oats, Pease, and Hull'd Beans (and Bread
if you think Good) with Sweet Hay, and good Wheat-Straw,
and some Barley now and then for Variety; and Ride him
out to be Watered every day Twice, and keep him Out some
Little time, only to Walk him; but not too Long, for that
will Weaken him too much.

Why not Breed oi a Neapolitan? They are too Gross
Horses; aud we Breed too Bigg Horses in England, by reason
of the Moysture both of Ayre and Ground.

Why not Breed of a Barb? They are too Slender, and too
Lady-like, for the Mannage. though themselves the Best in
the World for it; but their Off-spring, are commonly Loose

and Weak Horses, fitter for Running- Horses, than the Man-
nage: so the Spanish Horse is in the Middle (where Vertue
lyes), neither too Gross, nor too Slender, and the finest
Shap't Horse in the World: And therefore, Have no other
Stallion.

The fittest Mares for the Mannage, must be Short from the
Head to the Croup; Curious Forehands, but not too Long;
Fine Heads, and well Hung on; Good Bodies, Short rather
than Long; Short and good Leggs; Short PaBtorns, and
Bending; Good Feet, short Backs, full of Spirits, and
Strength; and good Natures.

No where Better Mares than in EnglaDd, if they be well
Chosen. Yet, I must Tell you, I oould Wish you to have a
Couple of fine Shap't little Dutch Mares, which iBarine
Composition, with a Spanish Horse, for the Mannage.

For their Colonrs; Let them be such as most Men Like;
though I value not that at all.

Their Age; five, six, or seven Years Old; and the Stallion
not to be too Old, except necessity otherwise force yon.

The time of the Year; in May, about the middle of that
Month, that the Folee may Fall in April, because else they
will have no grass.

Put the Stallion to the Mares, thus: Take off his Hinder
ShoeB, and bring him Near where the Mares are, and there
let him Cover a Mare in Hand Twice, which will make him
Wife; and instantly Pull off his Bridle, and put him to the
Mares: Which Mares must all be put in a Convenient Closse,
that may Feed them Well for six weeks at least.

Put those Mares that have Newly Foled, and those that are
with foal, and those that are Barren, all to him; for there is
no Danger in it. This Way is so Natural, as they are all
Served in their Height of Pride; for, the Horse never Mounts
thtm until they Woo him to it Extreamely.

When he hath Covered them all, then he Tryes them all
Over again, and those that will Take the Horse, he Covers
them; and those that will Not, he lets them Alone: Ana
when he Knows he hath Finished his Work, he Beats the
Pale to be gone, which is Time for him; then you must take
him Up, and you shall find him Lean enough, nothing but
Skin and Bones, and his Mane and Tayle will Moot off: If
yon give him too many Mares, then he will Serve you the
Leas time; be bo Lean and Weak, that you will very hardly
Recover him against the next Year, or Covering-time. There-
fore ten or twelve Mares is Enough.

I had Forgot to Tell you, That you must have a Little
H< use with a Manger, to Feed him with Corn, and Bread,
during the Covering-lime, to Defend him from the Heat of the
Sun, and Rain, which would much Infeeble him: And you
must have a Man always to Attend him and the Mares; and
for that Purpose he must have a Little Hutt built, to be there
Day and Night; not only to Tell you how they are Served,
but that no other Horse comes to the Mares; or other mares
to the horse, and for many other Accidents wherewith he is
to Acquaint you. And when you have taken Up the Stallion,
then Remove the Mares into a good and fresh pasture.

That is the True Way for Covering the Mares; for, Nature
is Wiser than Art in the Act of Generation; and by this Way,
I dare say, there shall not, of a Dozen Mares, Two fail.

I must Tell you, That you must Never have a Stallion of
you Own Breed, beoause they are too Far removed from the
Purity, and Head, of the Fountain, which is a Pure Spanish
Horse: Besides, should the Stallions be of your Own Breed,
in Three or Four Generations they would come to be Cart-
Horses; so Gross, and ill-Favoured would they be: or at
least, just such Horses as are Bred in that Country, so soon
will they Degenerate: Therefore, have still a fresh Spanish
Horse for the Stallion.

But you cannot Breed Better, than to Breed of your own
Mares that yon have Bred; and let their Fathers Cover them;
for there is no Incests in Horses: And thus they are nearer,
by a Degree, to the Pnrity, since a fine Horse Got them, and
the same fine Horse Covers them again.

If any Man will Dispute against this Truth, (if he be not
Obstinate in his Errours) let him Read my First Book of
Horse-manship in French, where I Treat ot Breeding; and
there are Reasons that may Convert him, if he considers my
Great Experience.

FOR

The Housing, Feeding, and Ordering of
COLTS.

You must Wean the Foles, and Take them from their
Damms, when Cold Weather comes in, which is about
Martlemas; and have a Convenient House to Put them in,
with a Low Rack and Manger fit for them: For the first
Year, put the Horse-Colts, and Fillies, all together; and have
alwayes good and fresh Litter for them, good Sweet Hay, and
Wheat-Bran, and good Oats; the Wheat-Bran makes them
Drink Well, and gives them good Bodies.

In a Fair Day, let them now aud then go Out in some
Inclosed Yard, to Play, and Rejoyce themselves; and then
Dut them Up carefully, that they he not Hurt.

The next Summer, when Grass is Plentiful, put them Out
in some Dry Ground, where the Grass is Short, and Sweet;
for if a Colt fills his Belly, once in Twenty-Four Hours, it is
Sufficient; and good Water they must have. The ColtB must
be by themselves, and the Fillies by themselves, Separated.

The next Winter, at Martlemas, then take Up again the
Colts, bring them into the Stable, and Use tbem, in all Kinds,
like the Older Horses; doing the same Thing every Summer,
and every Winter, untill the Colts be Three Years Old, and
Vantage, and then take Them Up tor altogether, and Back
them. Yearlings must be Abroad together; so Two- Years-old
together, and Three- Years-old together; for thus they will
Agree best: as we see that Little young Boyes; and Greater
old BoyeB, never Agree, or Play well together.

The Fillies you may Better put Together; Yearings, and

Two- Years-old, and Three. But I would wish you to take

Up the Filleys at Two Years old, and Vantage; tbeu Back

them, and make them Gentle, and then Cover them at Three

! Years old: For, being thuB Gentle, they will Never spoyl

Themselves, nor their Foles; and if They, or their Foley, be

! Sick, or Hurt, you may Easily take them Up for the Farrier

I to use bis Skill to Recover them.

But, Why thiB Housing every Winter? You must know,
There is nothing indures Cold worse than Horse-kind. For
Example; Is there any Thing in the World Looks so like a
Bear, and so Ill-favouredly, as a Colt in Winter upon a Com-
mon, and stands as if he had neither Life, nor Spirit? and
certainly, Warmth, and Dry Feeding, is the Quintessence,
and greatest Secret in the World for Breeding. To Prove it:
The Spanish Horse, that is bo Fine, is Bred in Spain, a Hot
Country, and hath Dry Feeding; for there is not much GmsK
in many Places. Barbery is very Hot, and little Grass.
Turkey is very Hot, and Dry Grounds. Naples is very Hoi,
Mountainous, and Dry; and in all those Countries, tbe
Horses are Purely Shap't, with Heat, and Dry Feed;
Therefore you must Help it, as well as you Can, ii
Countries; whioh is Done with Housing, and Dry I
To Prove it, Take the Finest Shap't Spanish Hor^e

have Two Horse-Colts, let One rnn Abroad, until he be
Three Years and a Half old, and let the other be Housed

hatb gone Abroad Three Yearn and a Half, shall have a great
Fleshy-Head, and Thick and Full Necktj Fleshy Shoulders;
Flabby and Gowty Legs; Weak Paatarns, and ill Hooffe; and
shall be a Drill* Weak, Fleshy Jade* by Reason of the Humid-

Lies Dry, and is Dry Fed, shall have as Fine a Forehand, as

all things will be as purely Shap't, as any Spanish Horae can
be.

So you see, That to have the Finest Stallion, ahd the Beau-
tifulleot Mares, is Nothing* if yon do not Order them as I
have told you. (See Dutch Horses, how Gross they are,
being Bred in Cold Countries.) This is a great Secret for
Breeding believe me, that have Tryed all Manner of Ways;
find according to mv great Experience, there ia Nuthing but
This.

To be Continued.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor. Breedeb and Sportsman: — Training in Kentucky
cannot be truly said to be very forward, for while it is true
that the winter has so far been very mild, and but little snow
has fallen as yel, there has been considerable rain fall —
which has occurred at such intervals as to keep the traoks in
poor condition for good work. In Lexington, a short time
since, I visited many of the stables, and saw most of the
horses yet in cumbrous flesh — saw a few trotted in the mud
around the "inside" track, which was then so soft that their
riders were scarcely recognizable when dismounted.

It is generally thought, there, that Mr. M. Young has the
coming crack two-year-old rilly in Helter Skelter, by Pell
Mell. He haB declined an offer of $5,000 for her. Already
her good performance, a quarter, said to be in 22i last fall,
has brought her considerable notice. It is to be hoped that
bhe will uot prove a disappointment, as so many faet year-
lings have done after they go into their two-year-old form.
Mr. James B. Clay has the moat promising Longfeliow year-
ling colt I have ever seen, by that famous sire. The colt is
in size extraordinary, and as mnch so in quality and finish.
If Mr. Guest's Heron coetinneB to do well, " Grim" will pos-
sibly not think Mr. G. may feel so foolish after he meets
Proctor Knott. The horse that gives Heron a beating may
have to beat his rider's mark. Nor is Proctor Knott under-
rated in saying this. Wait a bit and Bee.

Mr. Basil Guest says that Miss Boyle, and that fast, bat
disabled filly, Irene Dillon, will be bred to Little Minch,
when they reach Nashville, from New Orleans, where Mr.
Will Guest haB them in training with McMurtry and others.
Mr. Guest has not been interviewed since his retnrn from
Nashville, where Heron now is, but a favorable report is
sincerely hoped, as no one hath a bigger heart than Jim.
No controversy on the score of Heron, is sought with "Grim,"
his columns in the Breeder and Spotsman are far too enter-

Crab Orchard, Ky., Feb. 11, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I thought when I saw
that our friend Mr. SimpBon had claimed Antevenio for bay
filly foaled March 27, 1S88, in your last issue, he was playing
a given joke on me. Last year I claimed that name for my
bay colt by Antevolo, dam Pastime by Bustic, in your col-
umns. By that name Antevenio I came before, and took
the firat premium for yearling roadsters at laat Petaluma
fair. Rex Bando, a King I come, Eegina Brando, a Queen I
come, would be appropriate names. May all the AntevoloB
get a place in every race they start in, is the wish of

A Rumored Sale.

For several days rumors have been flying thick and fast,
reBpecti ng the aale of seven fillies fiom the San Mateo Stock
Farm, tut the truth of the matter cannot be learned, as Mr.
Corbett ia so busy preparatory to going East, that he has no
time to spare. Without vouching for the sale, we give the
story below as copied from the Call.

W. H. Allen, of the contracting firm of Allen & Veith, has
been for some time past negotiating the purchase of several
of the Wilkes family from William Corbett of the San Mateo
Stock Farm. Mr. Allen was anxious to secure either Guy
Wilkes or Sable Wilkes. Mr. Corbett refuses to sell either of
the Btallions, though he has had the tempting offers of
$75,000 and $50,000 for them respectfully.

Failing to get either of the horses, Mr. Allen commenced
negotiations for the purchase of some of the youngsterB. He
at first waDted seventeeu of them, but Mr. Corbett would not
part with all the untried stock that Mr. Allen desired.

A sa'e was co&summated ytsterday of seven head of Gny
Wilkes' progeuv. The amount paid for theBeven head is id
round figures $60,000. The stock will remain at the San
Male> farm uuil Mr. Allen is ready to receive them, it being
deemed dangerous to ship them at once as some of the mares
are with foal.

A bay yearling filly by Guy Wilkes, dam Ruby, 2:19$,
brought the highest price. This is not surprising when it is
considered that Kuby is a full Bister to the noted Stamboul
—2:14:r.

The others in the lot are: Minnie Wilkes, '.by Sultan, dam
Kittie Wilkes byGeor.e Wilkes; Sable Hayward, outof Sable,
dam of Sable Wilkes; Hindu Wilkes, by Guy Wilkes, out of
Rosetta; a yearling brown filly by Gny Wilkes, dam Sable;
Jet Wilkes, by Guy Wilkea, dam Sable, and a blacl: yearling
[illy by Gny Wilkta. dam Atlanta, who is a full eiater to
Beautiful Bell*, 2:29.}.

Rancho Del Paso.

While in Sacramento lately, Mr. C. W. Aby expressed a
desire to visit the Eancho Del Paso Stock Farm, and as there
happened to be present at the time several well known horse.
men, it is not surprising that genial Ed. Smith, secretary of
the State Agricultural Sooiety, should tender his services as
guide, and place the necessary vehicle at the disposal of any
present who wished to make the trip. There were only
three in the party, Matt Storn being induced to go along, so
they started for Mr. Haggin's mammtith stock farm. The
superintendent, Mr. John Mackey, was on hand to receive
the visitors, and as was expected much chaffing was indulged
in between Mr* Aby ahd Mr. Mackey as to the relative
merits of Sir Modred and Darebin on the one Bide, and Green :
back and Friar Tuok on the other.

The varions stallions were brought out^fdr the inspection
of the guests, ahd each in turn criticised. Naturally the
imported Australians were the ones most critically examined
and as Sir Modred was walked up and down, accompanied
by Darebin, first one and then the other was the momentary
fancy, each turn of the horses bringing out fresh points
which had not been noticed before. Of couse as was to be
expected, the manager of the Langtry and Gebhard farms
would not acknowledge that either of the Australians were
as well bred as his two imported English ones, the bantering
of the two rival superintendents producing roars of laughter
from the spectators. Hidalgo was highly thought of, as he
was shown, the great son of Joe Daniels being in the best
possible form. Warwick, Milner, Kyrle Daly, John Happy,
Hyder Ali, and Mr. Mackey 's own stallion Midlothian were
eaoh shown in turn and elioited the warmest commendations
from the visitors. The grand array of brood mares were next
looked over, two who were standing together being especially
admired and on enquiry they were found to be two of world-
wide repute, Explosion, the dam of Dew Drop for which the
Dwyers paid $29,000, and Maud Hampton, dam of King
Thomas, which as a yearling brought the highest price ever
paid in any country for one, viz.: $40,000. Many others
were seen, but the one that aroused the most curiosity and
words of praise for what she had done on the turf was Miss
Woodford. From there as a natural sequence the party were
taken to Bee her yearling filly by Darebin, of which all think
highly. This youngster is as finely bred as any horse in the
universe and if racing ability on the part of both sire and
dam, coupled with royal blood from both parents arnou t to any-
thing, this filly should prove another Tremont, Luke Black-
burn or a Martini-Henry. The visit taken as a whole, was
very satisfactory and pleasant to all concerned, and will be
remembered with pleasure for many a day.

A Notable Offer of Oattle.

More About Proctor Knott.

Rumors are flying thick and fast concerning Proctor Knott,
says the St. Louis Republic, and they are ngly rumors, too,
gtories that will make many turfmen think twice before they
back him. Good jadges of horseflesh who have had a glimpse
at this much talked of animal lately say unreservedly that he
is not going to make the three-year-old that was predicted.
One thing is positively certain — the colt has not filled out
as race horses generally do during the winter months; that
is, there is not the body to the flesh that is necessary to with-
stand arduous training.

An authority who Btands high, and who recently saw Bry-
ant's pet, is of the candid opinion that Proctor Knott would
not run a good race this season. He felt assured that when
it came to a race of a mile and a half, with a fighting finish,
Proctor would be found lagging. The gentleman stands high
in racing oirclee of the East. He is an enthusiastic horseman
and an extensive breeder. He would have purchased the
colt himself had he thought well of the animal. He was pre*
sent when Proctor finished first in the Futurity stake at
Sheepshead Bay, and liked his easy style of running and
rangy appearance. When be heard of the Dwyers discussing
the merits of the horse, and knowing they were without a
first class three- year-old, he jumped aboard a train and started
tor Proctor Knott's home, and not a moment too soon, for
the next train brought out the agent of the Dwyer Bros.

"Do not quote me, but you will find Proctor Knott to
turn out to be another Apollo. Apollo was a gelding of the
Proctor Knott stripe. As a three-year-old he defeated Run-
nymede, Bengal, Harry Gilmore and a lot of other mighty
good cults for the Kentucky Derby, but that was in reality
his only race. Old Green Morris had a great streak of luck
that year. The animal happened to strike Pierre Lorillard's
fancy and it came to a dicker regarding the price. At this
game G. B. Morris has no superior, and Pierre Lorillard gave
$16,500 for Apollo After he had possession of the animal for
about a month, Lorillard concluded that he knew nothing
about horses, and shortly afterward gave up his stable. I
will risk my reputation that there never was but one gelding
that ever reached the status of a first-class race horse, and
that was that noble eon of Leamington and Maiden —
Parole.

"Proctor Knott will never be such a horse as Parole if he
lives to be 1,000 years old, for reasons which all horsemen
are aware of. Parole was a phenomenal horse, with a turn of
apeed few horaes are ever gifted with. No matter how long
the race was, if he ever landed at the head of the straight
within two lengths of the leader the contest was over,"

The sporting journals of tue E*st are all loud in praise of
Mr. J. B. Haggin, who promptly scratched Firenzi before the
public could bet any money on the mare, as she would
undoubtedly have been a great favorite. As it now stands,
The Bard is carrying the most of the money at present.

Mr. O. A. Hickok paid a flying visit to Los Angeles last
Saturday and returned on Monday. He says that the colts

ment of L. J. Rose, are far superior to anything he has ever
seen before.

Mrs. C. R. NoyeB, of Boston, is at present visiting San

Capt. H. B. Blagrave is buck again in town after looking

templated.

The "Live Stock Record" of Lexington, Ky., has had the
picture of Sunol, which lately appeared in the Breeder and

Lord William Beresford in a speech at the Tnrf Club
dinner, at Calcutta, India, said that keeping a big raoing
stable is a losing game, and if this is bo, his lordship's love
of sport must be truly very great, or he would not have con-
tinued racing for so many years.

If you want to meet a newsy, bright, rustling horse re-
porter just get an introduction to Mr. B. Benjamin (Dag-
worth) of the Los Angeles Tribune. "Dag" has been in town
for several days, shaking old friends by the hand and form-
ing scores of new ones. Under his able direction the Tri-
bune is far and away ahead of any other daily paper west of
the Rocky Mountains.

Congratulations have been received from all quarters by
Mr. Hobart on his purchase of Stamboul. I fancy that the
gentleman waited until he felt that there was a strong prob-
ability of the Btallion leaving the State, and then a natural
pride bade him buy the horse so that California should not
lose his services.

Mayor Delashmult, of Portland, Oregon, has purchased
2000 acres of land in Washington county, twelve miles from
that city, where he will establish the finest stnd farm in the
State. He has purchased nine standard colts from J. Brandt,
and has now in all thirty head of tine stock, including Kitty
Lynch, Nautilla, Judy, Palatina, Blondy, etc. The well-
known stallion Hambletonian Mambrino will be head of the
stud.

Meeting Mr. G. Valensin, I inquired why he had with-
drawn his namesake from the stud, as was mentioned last
week. His answer was to the effect that he is satisfied that
Valensin can show a marvellous burst of speed if properly
prepared, bo he was taken from public service to give him as
much rest as possible, prior to preparing him for a low
record.

The Salem Statesman says; "R. E. Bybee, the famous
horseman, was in this city yesterday, and let the contract
for building a new house on bis 300 acre farm north of Salem.
Mr. Bybee is always interested in fast horses, and it is his
intention to make his place a breeding farm for that class of
animals. He is now possessed of some of the finest stock in
the State, and his coming here will be the means of continu-
ally keeping alive the interest in the improvement and proper
handling of driving horses."

Mrs. George Lorillard has again been married, this time to
Count Casa de Agreda. Mrs. Lorillard was not only the
widow of '-Gentleman George" Lorillard, the famous owner
and breeder of thoroughbred horses, but after his death
undertook to sustain tbe reputation of tbe orange and blue
on the race con rse. In this Bhe was only partially successful,
and practically gave up racing at the close of last season,
although her rill v Flirtaway, won a race at the Fall meeting
of the American Jockey Club at Jerome Park. She retained
the breeding establishment in New Jersey, however, and has
a choice collection of brood mares there, with th,e unbeaten
SeflBftfieq at fte bead of the, aftd.

John E. Madden, of New York, has sold to W. H. Readine,
of Havana, Cuba, the bay mare Bosque Bonita, four-year-old,
by Macey's Hambletonian, for $10,000. This mare last year
trotted a mile in a race over a half-mile track in 2:21V, being
the fastest time ever made over such a track by a three-year-
old. Her new owner will ship her to Cuba.

Col. H. S. Russell, of Boston, is at present in California.
His desire to secure Ansel is as strong as ever, and it may be
that the doughty Colonel will add that gem to his already
large string. His pluck in buying Smuggler, 2:15$, for
$40,000, who was only a converted pacer, when almost every
one East said that he would never make a sire, aroused the
admiration of all his friends, and as many of the Massachu-
setts papers declare they want no stallion with thorough-
bred blood, Col. Russell may again show his pluck, and take.
Ansel back with him.

Says The Rapid City (Dak.) Republican, The business of
horse breeding in the Black Hills has already become one of
much magnitude. It is estimated that there are now over ten
thousand horses ranging in the Eastern hills owned by per-
sona who are breeding for the market. This estimate has
been made with care by one in the business, and does not in-
clude small lotB less than 30, nor does it include horses in
the Northern and Western hills. All kinds of horses are
bred in the hills, roadsters, trotters, runners, draught. Mhere
are some Arabian, some imported Normans, thoroughbreds
from the beBt Kentucky stock, and mares from Oregon, Iowa,
and other states, selected expressly for breeding.

A letter from Nashville sajs: The horses in the Chicago
stable are, of course, the main attraction here, and they de-
serve this distinction. Wheeler T. has improved wonder-
fully, and Little Minoh, Jacobin, Egmont, Viking and Terra
Cotta are simply grand looking. But the most improved an-
imal that I ever saw is Kaloolah. Last year, you will re-
member, Bhe had tbat tucked-up appearance. Now she has
developed into a fine, big, roomy mare, and you would
hardly recognize her. The boys here pin their faith to
Terra Cotta for the Suburban, if his people accept the
weight. They considered that his defeat by Elkwood last
year was nothing but a fluke. Badge is another horse people
in this section are sweet on.

Some rather interesting racing Uok place at the Bay Dis-
trict Track last Saturday. The usual handful of spectators
were present, and but little interest was manifested. Iu the
trotting race, Dan McCarty's St. David beat Melrooe and
Hugh Patrick in straight heats, the best time being 2:30i,
beating his record two seconds. Tom Daly had but little
difficulty in defeating Barney G. in a five-eighths dash in
1 :'J2:'. . A pacing race next claimed attention, the contestants
being Mink, Little Hope, and Damiana. The latter was dis-
tanced in the first heat, Mink winning. He also took the

I have been shown a private letter regarding Mr. Storn's
stable, now in training at Sacramento, from which permission
was given to copy the following: "The horsesare all in good
condition. The Hooker colt, Forester, is one of the fnste«t
horses lever saw, and if nothing happens should prove equal
with the best. I have been caoteriog the two-year- :>lds, out
have given them nothing like hard work, halves in about 55
seconds being the limit. The following is a full list of tbe
horses Mr. Storn has here under my care. Forester, a four-
year-old gelding, by Joe Hooker, dam by Melbourne Jr., KiL
dare, fonr-year-old gelding by Kyrle Daly, dam Mistake by
Wildidle; Glen Ellen, three-year-old filly, a full sister to Kil-
dare; Lurline, thiee-y ear-old filly, by Loogficld, dam Katy
Pease by Planet; Crofter, three-year-old gtlding by Longtield,
dam Mischief by Thad S'evens; Larghetta, two-year-old colt
by Jils Johnson, dam Leverette by Lever; Cathe iue, two-
year-old filly by Warwick, dam Mischief; Marigold, two-year-
old filly by Milner, dam Katy Pease.

Since the first forms of the Breeder and Sportsman went
to press the sale of Stamboul has been consummated, and we
are nleased to state, to a gentleman of this city, who says
that all the great stallions of California shall not be taken
away. Mr. W. C. Hobart has had many conversations with
Mr. Ro3e about the purchase of Stamboul. but they were not
able to agree about what the price should be, Mr. Hobart
being willing to give $35,000, and Mr. Rose refusing to sell
for le°s than $50,000. When at last it was discovered that
two different parties were willing to give Mr. Rose tbe figure
he asked, Mr. Hobart finally Baid. "Well, Rose, there's your
money. I want Stamboul, jnut keep him nntil I get ready
for you to ship him up to me." The fever had now set in,
and before the two gentlemen paited Mr. Hobart also pur-
chased three fine broodmares, Bon Bon, 2:26, by Simmons, a
filly by Alcyone, and Sweetheart, whose dam is the renowned
Minnehaha. Mr. Hobart has hardly decided yet, when he
will call on Mr. Rose for bis new purchase, but there is a
Btrong probability that he has a large farm in view, which he
intends to purchase, and start a breeding farm on the same
plan as Rosemeade or Palo Alto.

Mr. and Mrs. C. R. No yes of Boston, Mass., paid a visit
last Tuesday to the Pleasant n Stock Farm, on the invitation
of Mr. Salisbury, and were treated to several exhibitions of
speed by various of the famous trotters. Mr. McDowell was,
as usual, perfectly willing to show off the good points of his
pets, but apologized for their lack of preparaiion, as they are
only receiving gentle exercise from day to day. Margaret S.
by Director was the first one sent around the track, and
although this royally bred filly is less than twenty-nine
mouths olds he trotted from end to eod, without a skip, in the
remarkably fast time of 2:25£. the last half was made iu 1: II,
and the last quarter in 33 seconds. The visitors were de-
lighted with this performance so early iu the season, and for
such a youngster it dues Beem marvellous. Mr. McDowell
then sent that magnificent son of Director, Direct, 2:28, for a
trial half mile, and that this glorious horse is going to prove
of the very highest class was evinced in the time made, 1:05},
the last quarter being trotted in 32 seconds. Before this
performance, and while he was being wanned up, he made
a quarter in 31i seconds, and it was the general belief tbat,
bar accident, he will develop a high rate of speed, and that
his present record will be very materially reduced this sea-
son. Director, who has not had harness on since training
for the Grand National Stallion Stakes, was then hitched up
at the request of Mrs. Noyes, but was not sent at a high rate
of speed. All admired his beautiful action and gait, and the
noble animal seemed as though be wanted to extend himself
for Ihe benefit of the onlookers, but prudeooe forbade
thing. The party returned, to §A,n, Francisco highly d*l
with the trip.

Effects of Pool Rooms.

San Francisco has long suffered from the curse of city
pool rooms, which has for so many years afflicted New York,
and which still esist end do a qniet business, despite the re-
strictions of the law. In Sun Francisco the abuse has become
as bad as it did here in 1S81. when Barolay Street, by its ex-
cesses provoked public clamor to an extent that broke it up.
City pool roomBare not only demoralizing to the young men
of a city, but their existence is inimical to legitimate racing.
They encourage speculation in sums of twenty-five and fifty
cents sums which cannot be bet on the tracks. Besides,
while they are in existence many will not attend racing, as
they can get all the betting they want in the city. The last
meeting at San Francisco suffered from this, as the orowd
preferred to remain in the city and bet on the events at Clif-
ton Guttenburg, New Orleans, etc. The abuse has reached
such proportions that business men in San Francisco are
signing petitions asking tbe Legislature to suppress all bet-
ting except on the race course, on the principle of the Ives
Bill in this State. In this they are joined by all the racing
men of every character, as we'll as the prominent breeders of
the State, who see that racing cio never be made successful
in California in the face of this evil. The Society for the
Suppression of Vice has the matter in hand, and a deter-
mined effort ia being made to abate the nuiBance. — N. Y.

THE KENNEL.

Doe owners are requested to send for publication tbe earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deatba
lu their kennelB, in all instances writing plainly names of Bite and dam
and of yraudparenls, colors, dates and breed.

Whelps-

Messrs. Geo. A. Frasher and A. AdkiDBon, Los Angeles,
mastiff, CssBandra (Spartacas— Duchess) whelped Jan. 8.
1889, six, four dogs, to "Wellington (Major— Tyrone III).

Name Claimed-

Messrs. Geo. A. Frasher and A. AdkinsoD, Los Angeles,
claim names for mastiffs by Wellington— Cassandra, whelped
Jan. 8, 1889.

Bismarck for light fawn dog.

Victor for light fawn dog.

Messrs. Frasher and Adkioson have sold to Dr. C. Edgar
Smith the light fawn mastiff Hoe Bismarck, by Wellington—
Cassandra, whelped Jan. 8, 1889.

Deaths.

Mr. William Schreiber has lost by death the pointer bitch
Astoria by Don — Sail.

Yice-Presidnet Morton is an admirer of mastiffs and won
two prizes at the Newbury show with dogs of his own breed-
ing.

The report of the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Ameri-
can Humane Association, held at Toronto, Canada, on Oct-
ober 17, 18, and 19, 1888, has been received. The work of
the society cannot tut appeal to the best instincts of hu-
manity everywhere, and the report embodies a great mass of
useful information in the line of humane endeavor. It may
be had on application to Robert J. Wilkin, Secretary, 141
Montague street, Brooklyo, N. Y.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender writes from Watson ville that since
returning from the held trialB most of the dogs in his kennel
have been sick with distemper, but are now all doing nicely.

A three-year-jld rongh St. Bernard bitch, imported from
Australia by Mr. J. K. Newton of 2602 Folsom street. City,
was shown us the other day, a good specimen, which Bhould
be taken in hand by some fancier, conditioned and shown at
the P. K. C. show in May.

SayB the London "Shooting Times:" "A gentleman states
in an American paper that two accidentally black pointers
have been sent over there as pure bred blacks. Who has
done that? By tbe bye, Mr. Pape, the famous Newcastle
gunmaker, states that "black is the true original color of tbe
pare pointer."

Mr. Joe Emmet kindly brought his famous Bough St Ber-
nard Plinlimmon to our notice on Friday, but t >o late for
extended notice this week. The dog and his delightful
master have drawn pretty much all the fanciers of the city to
tbe Baldwin theatre during the week. A grander dog we
never expect to see.

It ia worth the while of owners of good St. Bernard brood
animals to endeavor to secure the stud services of Plinlim-
mon while he is at hand.

Oar shooting readers will enjoy the letter from a thorough-
bred eld hunter which is printed elsewhere. We do not re-
member to have seen anything better in its way, and hope
to have further notes from the writer.

Mr. M. C. Dmmmoud, of Davisville, has joined the
Pacific Coast Field Trial' Club. Mr. Drummond owns
a fine EDglish setter bred by the California Kennel, which he
has in the hands of Mr. Walter for training. The dog Lan-
ciotto is by Loadstone — Janet, a crosB which is likely to pro-
duce many winners as well as good looking ones.

Mr. James E. Watson has had shipped to him another pair
nf black pointers, dog and bitch, by Pape of New Castle— on—
Tyoe. The dogs will arrive in about tive months, comiDg by
clipper, aDd we hope will be as good as old Black Job. The
indomitablu pluck shown by friend Watson cannot but excite
admiration.

Preparations for the Pacific Kennel Club Show in May are
going forward smoothly, and with expedition. The work
this year will be more carefully attended to bo as to avoid
tbe few little annoyances attending the last show. Meahan-
ics Pavilion has been secured, the best hall for the purpose
)n the world. Every detail of benching, heddiog, feeding,
-i '.■,, will be of the best, and tbe pame cleanliness will be
^ forced as lfl6t year. The show will be twice as large and
t^iceas good. Ownor»Ehould be about getting their dogs
into condition. They will all be the better for pleDty of

Writing of his Gordon setter bitch, Mr. Henry Boyle of
San Rafael thus describes a most extraordinary manifesta-
tion of intelligence and pluck. The bitch is the one which
he desires to breed to some good Gordon dog. He says:

My dog is fat now, and will weigh over a hundred pounds.
She is large, powerful, will trot before a team fifteen or
twenty miles to a field, work all day, tire out nearly every
dog around, and trot back again. She will dive after duck,
and did something last fall I never saw done before —
wounded a diver on a lake, and he went down about 3£ feet
below enrfac*1, the dog after him, swam back, the dog five
feet behind, came up, and again went down, followed by the
dog. shortening tbe gap each time. The third time he came
to the surface she bad reached him, closing her mouth on
him. I pulled the boat alongside of them for 150 feet, and I
should have serious doubts of such a feat bad I not seen it.
The mother was an imported bitch, large size; the father I
didn't know. She has a little white on tbe breast — a small
Btreak— otherwise well marked, lots of pluck, and will take
care of nurse and children in the woods like a bull-dog.

Mr. James E. Watson has received a request for the ser-
vices of Old Black Joe from Mr. Goodbne, so far away as
Danville, Canada. Mr. Goodhae bred Darkness, a black
pointer winner at the Eastern Field Trials in '82. Old Black
Joe would have beeo in demand as the best (lack pointer
ever sired, and niore's the pity that the dog is dead.

Very flattering reports come from Novato about the per-
formances of Mr. John Bergez's young pointer by Don— Sail.
Th« dog iB in the hands of Barney Galindo, and is said to
be very quick, sere and tasty among birds. He will go in
the next Derb.v, and if he fulfills the promise of his youth
will be a hard one to beat.

We had a very pleasant call on Monday last from Mr. J. B.
Dodge, manager of Oak Farm, in the Salinas Valley. Mr.
Dodge is a son of the famous sportsman ■ "Bill Dodge," in
Maryland, and as might have been expeoted, is full of en-
thusiasm about dogs and shooting. He owns a full sister of
Mr. Will. Berry's pointer Blackbird, and tells some high
flavored stories about the nose and sense of his bitch, which
he aays is really a superior Bhooting dog. There is an old
deer hound on Oak Farm which has been taoght by Mr.
Dodge to stand on birds, a proof that some things can be
done as well as others. Mr. Dodge will run his painter
Stella in the All-Aged stake of the field trials in January of
'90. Stella is now in whelp to Mr. Harry Babcock's Blonde.

In the course of a pleasant call last week, Mr. M. D. Wal-
ter of Gait remarked that he had the following dogs in train-
ing now, for next year's field trials, all setters. Mr. ThomaB
Bennet'B Lucifer (Loadstone— Janet), Mr. A. Abbott's Singold
(Harold — Sweetheart), Mr. K. H. Auerbach's Lissome {Load-
stone— Janet). Mr. M. H. Drammond's Lanci otto (Load stone —
Janet, Mr. E. M. Arthur's red setter Countess {Kaeding's Duke
— California Belle), The California Kennel's Stephanie (Harold
— Sweetheart, The California Kennel's Love Knot {Loadstone
— Janet), Mr. J. V. Coleman's Lady May (Ajax — Dot), Mrs.
Coleman's PanBy (Ajax — Dot).

Mr. Walter telle us that he has in training a bitch
pappy belonging to Mr. E. M. Arthur of Portland, Oregon,
that is a very good one. She is by Mr. Kaeding's Irish
Bed Duke, and out of our oil Belle, now owned by Mr.
Arthur. Belle has produced a large number of good oneB,
but none have been ran in the trials, as she v, as. We hope
to see Mr. Arthur's Countess make a creditable showing.

A resume of the two concluding courses of the Kempton
Park Champion Coursing Meeting, concluded on January
25th at Sudbury, near London, is taken from the ''Stock-
Keeper and Fanciers Chronicle, " which says:

When we went to press last week there were four dogs left
in the Champion Stakts, Pilate Black, Barbican II., Puddle-
town and Odoardo. On Friday, in the fourth ties, Pilate
Black very decisively defeated Barbican II , and Puddletown,
after a good contest, bad the advantage of Odoardo. Thus
Puddletown and Pilate Black were left in the deciding
course. Odds of seven to four were offered on the last-named,
and it was generally thought that Mr. Sidney's puppy would
prove victorious. The pair were beautifully slipped, and they
ran together for some distance, when Pilate Black took a
decisive lead. He then slightly stumbled, and momentarily
paused, which enabled Puddletown to shoot past him, and
although subsequently Pilate Black made a gallant effort, the
points were in favor of Puddletown, to whom the verdict
was awarded.

Major Holmes was heartily congratulated on the success of
his dog, but perhaps had Pilate Black been successful the
victory would have been a more popular one. As regards
tbe winner, it may be observed that Puddletown is now in
his third season, but he has not run a large number of
courses in fpublio. As a puppy he divided a sapling plate
at Kempton Park, and won two courses in the Gosforth
Derby. He also appeared four times more in his first
season, but without doing anything noteworthy. He ran at
Plumpton last year, but unsuccessfully. At Kempton Park
he divided an eight dog stake — subsequently he ran at Hay-
dock Park. This Beason he divided the Olanteigh Stakes at
Wye, where he defeated HounBlow, Have a Care, Colling-
bourne and Sorcerer.

The runner-up. Black Pilot, is a black and white puppy,
and was bred in Ireland. He won three courses at Moorne
Park on his first appearance in public, and then was beaten
by Caterham Clerk. Six weeks later he landed the Belfast
stakes for thirty dog puppies atHolestone. Although he had
not subsequently run in public prior to his appearing in tbe
Champion stakes, he had been thoroughly well tried privately,
and was considered to have an excellent ohance, which opin-
ion was. indeed, completely justified by his excellent per-
formance, as it is not unreasonable to suppose that, but for
bis unlucky stumble, and, perhaps, being momentarily un-
sighted, he might have won the stakes for Mr. Sidney.
Odoardo greatly disappointed his friends, who quite reck-
oned on his being able to defeat Puddletown; but, on the
other hand, in the course between Pilot Black and Barbican
II. the former carried the sufferagesof the public, and odds
of two to one were laid on him.

In concluding our remarks on the Kempton Park Champ-
ion Meeting of 1889, we must observe that it was a com-
plete success throughout, and, although the fog put in an
appearance, it did not interfere with a view of the sport to a
very great extent, and, coosidering tbe time of year, the exe-
cutive must be congratulated on being favored with such
open and pleaeaut weather. Tbe attendance, too, each of
the three days was a good one, Bnd we should think tbe
financial results of the reunion were quite aatisfeetory to the
Kempton Park Dtreotors, who certainly deserve to meet with
success in thair eDt>rprieing efforts, t-Q cater for the atttUie.
meet of the sporting public.

Mr. L. J. Ko3e, Jr. leaves to-day for ^ew York and Eur-
ope. He may be addressed at the Hoffman House, N. Y.,
until further notice. We shall receive some notes of travel
from him.

It cannot but be gratifying to those Bturdy men who organ-
ized the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club, and have! maintained
it for the six years of its life.to'note the appreciation in which
their efforts are coming to be held. There were some avowed
opponents in the earlier days, and many lnke-warm quasi
friends, whose blowing hot and cold was harder to face than
open enmity. But the club by persistence in well doing, and
by perfect devotion to its legitimate objects, has overcome all
the feeling against it, and the jealousies which humpered it,
and is now regarded as a most useful and beneficial institu-
tion. The Secretary has already received seventeen entries
for the coming Derby from gentlemen who have neither at-
tended previous trials nor made entries. There have been
many splendid dogs, the produce of which should have
appeared yf»ar after year in the Derby, and it has been a
source of disappointment that their owners have not been
actively interested, bat nil that is passed, and the coming
Derby will Bee fine youngsters out of Mr. H. R. Brown's beau-
tiful Donna Sensation, Mr. A. B. Traman's smashing Bush
T., Mr. Henry May's Ajax and Dot, Mr. Kaeding's Duke, Mr.
Harry Babcock's Blonde, Mr. Will Berry's Blackbird, Mr. J.
K. Dodge's Stella, Mr. W. D. Howe's Belle H., and a dozen
others of the rarest breeding and fine field quality, will be
represented either in propria persona or by descendants.

The young dogs are as fine as exist in the world, and will
make it difficult to guess tbe winner of the stake nntil the
finish. Three entries from Ogden, tbre'ifrom Salt Lake City,
foar from Bozeman. Montana, will represent the territories'.
The club detires tbe membership, support, sympathy and
active cr -operation of all fanciers of good pointiug dogs, and
if it can Bucceed in getting them lo delightful BakerBfield
once, there will be no trouble about their attendance in after
years. One hundred entries 1b the figure set by the secretary,
and it must be reached or exceeded. It will be his endeavor
to Bend entry blanks to all owners, bat if anyone is over-
looked it is hoped that he will write for them and will not
feel slighted. It Bhould be a matter of pride with residents
of tbe Pacific CoaBt to see their puppies entered and to fit
them to ran. Assurances of a large entry from Eastern ken-
nels have already been received.

THE GOT,

The Blue Bock Clab.

At a recent meetiog of the Board of Direotore, it was deci-
ded that at the monthly trap matches for the coming seasoo
this clnb Bhould be divided into three classes, to be known
respectively as the 80, 70 and 60 per cent classes. Clnb prizes
of the value of $15.00 and $10.00 were provided for each
class.

The Preserve Question.

The same old decidedly nutty flurry about shooting clubs
and land preserved by them has been recently revived, and
affords matter for passing comment. The revival is due in
the present instance to the efforts of one or two persons who
chance to be in the service of daily newspapers, and have
access to their columns. The persons mentioned have been
accustomed to shoot without let or hinderance over the
lands of Senator J. P. Jones in Sonoma County. Thev have
of course acqnired no rights in or on tbe premises, bn't were
merely tolerated. They used Senator Jones' house and
appurtenauces, paying no rental for such use. A man had
moved into the house, without color of right, and the visit-
ing hunters paid him certain sums in retnrn for lodging and
meals. Senator Jones after a time desired to derive some
revenue from his property, and leased the house and lands
with all the easements to a club of sportsmen. The lessees
contracted to pay liberally for use of the tract and naturally
desired to enjoy their new privileges, unmolested. In order
to do so they found it necessary to dispossess the squatter in
the house and to forbid general use of the lands for shooting
purposes. Hence the frothy matter about preserves and
preserve owners which has for some days appeared in several
daily contemporaries. In response to repeated published
calls, a number of gentlemen met on Friday, February 15th
at Police Court, Eoom No. 1, in this city, to take action in
reference to the premises. A report of the meeting by an
interested person Btates that:

M. W. Stackpool was elected temporary Chairman and
M. J. Geary temporary Secretary. The Chairman set forth
the objects of the meeting in a brief speech. He said that
the bone and sinew of the hunting fraternity, to whom Sun-
day was the only available day for shooting and fishing had
found it necessary to band together to protect their common
lights. The so-called shooting clnbs were not only obtaining
control of tbe best grounds and making preserves of them
but were seeking to have measures enacted in the Legislature
to conslitute it a misdemeanor to trespass on lands which
were useless for other purposes than harboring game He
supposed the proper course would be to form a committee
on permanent organization and get down to business at
once.

John Stack said it was absolutely necessary that hunters
should organize and re6ent the encroachment of the shootirc
clubs on overflow lands. A fund should he created to
defend all members prosecuted for trespass. To his knowl-
edge the so-called shooting club members were nothing
more than "pot hunters," who in many cases through the
medium of their keepers, sent the birds which they slaugh-
tered to tbe markets.

Tom K«nnedy spoke in a similar strain. He instanced
the "hoggishness" of tbe club at Sonoma, where they are
endeavoring to debar sportsmen at large from shooting even
on tbe levees, although the laws provide that Bixty feet on
either bank of a slongh or stream is common territorv He
favored organization, and had no doubt that good'results
would follow, 8B both the game and fish laws needed revising
and amending. B

Secretary Geary spoke much to the same effect California
he argued, if the shooting clobs had their way woold sDon
be 88 tied up in regard to its game law as Ireland Individ-
ually he did not fear arrest for trespass, but for tne sake of
law and order be advocated organization and the employment
of a good attorney to defend such members as might fall into
tbe keepers' Lauds.

M. C. Allen thooght that the movements should be general
and that tbe preservation of game should also be looked to
Several others spoke in a similar straiD, one young hunter
remarking. 'If the clubs are to haveit alltbeir own wav we
may as well sell our gnos and turn oqr dogs oyer to Jake

Mr. Stack referred to the bill which, was lately introduced
into the Assembly by request, wherein it was sought to
prevent hunters from going on uninclosed lands under pen-
alty of being prosecuted for misdemeanor. That bill bad
been adversely reported on by the Game and Fish Committee,
and was not likely to come up again in the same shape.
The desire to bond the available Bhooting grounds, however,
was manifest, and the time was ripe for action on the part of
the hunters at large.

The report may be regarded as a fair exposition of the
views of those who are opposed to any exclusive control of
Bhooting and fishing right?, and the many weaknesses in ar-
gument and illogical notions of those who attended the
meeting will at once suggest themselves to fair and unpreju-
diced readers of ordinary intelligence.

The central idea with tbem ie, that no man shall be per-
mitted to enjoy undisturbed use of his property, if they de-
sire to set up an adverse claim. There is no difference in
principle between one's right to protection against tres-
passers on his half-acre town lot, and his thousand-acre
marsh. It is a poor plea offered by some of the would-1 e
trespassers that they have a right to demand that every
owner of land shall enclose his premises by a "'hog-tight"
fence, if they are to be excluded. A right-feeling man would
not ohtrude himself where he knew he was not wanted, even
thoagh no other bar should be interposed than a notice not
to enter.

Perhsps the absurdity of the position assumed by the
persons under discussion cannot more clearly be shown than
by a reference to the vehemence with which they all protest
against intrusion upon their favorite ponds or blinds by
strangers. Those who have Bhot in company with non-
members of clubs, upon public marshes, can readily recall
the indignation shown when one goes early to the blind from
which he has shot for months, and which, by common
consent among habitues, has been dedicated to his sole uses,
only to rind a stranger in Dossession. The habitue
generally uses strong language, and is not without arguments
in support of his "right" to use the blind which he may
have "erected at large cost, although the marsh be entirely
unposted, and not under private ownership. Extended
legitimately, the same indignation is rightly felt by those
who establish private ownership either by purchase or leas-
ing, and who find their dearly bought rights trampled upon
by irresponsible persons who set up in defence, mob-law, or
mere might.

The opposition to private ownership and control of shoot-
ing grounds and rights is sporadic, and the present movement
will go the way of the many like spasms of the past. Its
originators and promoters may get a shoot or two on preserves
before they are caught, but the law and the outraged sense
of right of the average citizen will certainly assert themselves
in time, and in that day there will be weepiLg and wailing
and gnashing nf teeth among the heavily mnlcted poachers.

We can understand the paBBionate loLguig for the sportsof
the field which burns undyiugly in many of those who
attended the meeting under discussion, and we know most if
not all of the men, among them being very many entitled to
the highest respect as well as to that warmer regard which
friendly relationship creates. Among them are many men as
scrupulously honorable in business and social relations as
any man can be. We do not attribute their seeming adher-
ence to anarchical notions to any inherent badness, nor to
any tiled purpose to set at defiance the lawB of the land or
the rights of their fellow-meD, but we do believe that they
have unthinkingly allied themselves with a cause which has
no basis in pare right or reason, and which must inevitably
lead them into conflict with the statute laws if persisted in.

The members of the clubs owning preseives are sportsmen
of the best type. They own fine guns, practice wing-shoot-
ing exclusively, are generous in extending kindnesses to non-
members of the clubs, pay heavily for their sport, are repu-
table men, always ready to lend time and means for the
advancement of sport and sportsmanship, and are in nowise
the selfish people described by one or two of the unknowing
and inconsiderate speakers at the meeting of the 15th.
Another meeting of like character is to be held on Monday
evening next at the same p'ace, and it is suggested that those
who intend being present first argue the whole queBtion
through with themselves. Putting aside all petty, personal
desires, and adhering to the conclusions resulting from a
fair, logical presentation of all possible features of the case.
If they will do so we are confident they will not be found in
opposition to what are styled "Preserve Clobs," but will
themselves preserve lands if they wish to continue shooting.

A. Hunters Letter.

Monaco Winners-

At Monte Carlo recently the most valuable prize knowr. to
the shooting world was contested for by representatives of
several nationalities. It is known as the Grand Prix de
Casino, and besides the very valuable object of art which
went to the winner, there was u money prize of nearly
19,000 francs. The competitors numbered eighty-three, and
in the first four rounds of shooting twenty-nine of them
killed all of their birda, the conditions being 12 birds, 5 at
26 and 7 at *7 meters. la addition to the prize tor the
winner mentioned above, the second, third and fourth men
received valuable rnoney prizes. At the end of the twelfth
tour on the second day's shooting, five marksmen were tied,
viz.: Valentine Marks (English). M. Ophoren (Belgian),
Signors Cortese and Guidicini (Italian), and M. Journu
(French). Signor Guidicini was the first of the five to fall
by the wav, followed by Sienor Cortese and Mr. Journu,
leaving Mr. Dicks and M. Ophoren to finish. Mr. Dicks
eventually won, securing the valuable piece of plate and
18,810 francs. Mr. Ophoron won 8150 francs, Signor Cor-
tese 6150 francs, and M. Journu 3490 francs. Following is
the record of winners of the Grand Prix de Casino:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Being very fond of
big game shootiDg, and having for years devoted part of each
summer to life in the woods, the wilder the better, you can
imagine that I have come to know many of those rare and
genuine characters who make the name "mountaineer" syn-
onymous with manliness, quaintness, and bravery. One of
the most interesting of those men I was with last summer in
Shasta County, near Callahans, and in Ajbucklel found the
ideal woodBman, been, fearless, generous and kindly; he
was more at home in the pathless wilds of that unsettled
country, than he would be in a city drawing room, and I am
not anre but that he was thb better for his diBreg<rd of what
we call refinement. Thinking that your readers might enjoy
a letter from my mountain friend, I send one recently re-
ceived, which you may publish if fitting. Wm. DeWolf.
S\n Francisco.
The letter is as follows:

Dear FRiEND:--Come up here this summer, and stay as
long as you can. We will use no tent this time if you Bay
so. We can build cabins, if it storms too bad, most any-
where, iou need bother abjut nothing but one pair of
heavy blankets and plenty of cartridges. We have four
horses, which will be enough to pack our truck, I guess.

I have been practising a little on the bear since you left
here, just to have my band in. Last Friday I was coming
home from Callahans, just after mail time. I got along be-
tween my place and Short's, and saw where a bear had been
walking along leisurely, as though he was perfectly at home.
But this is my home, so I hurried to the house for the rifle,
and old Tuts and Sam, your dog friends. I found that Tuts
had gone across the river to Mr. Mesner's to call upon a lady
love, and Bent Tacy after him.

When hu got back with the old dog it was too dark to
shoot, and of course we waited until morning. Just after
daybreak Tacitus and I were tracking Mr. Bruin around
through the bottom, back: and forth, sometimes in my field
and sometimes in Short's and Alger's alternately. He had
camped around there all night, and had packed one of
Alger's sheep from camp to camp. About sun-up we struck
his track on the east side of the river, where he had
crossed the road.

The dogs could fcent his track and wanted to go. We
concluded he had not crossed the East mountain, and
thought we could overtake him before he would get to
the toD, so we cut the does loose and they dashed off at fall
speed," each yelling at the top of his voice. Then it would
have done yoor bouI good to have stood by to see and hear
the whole proceeding. It did mine, I can tell you. The
dogs went yelling on after him in a straight line for the top
of the mountain, and were nearly at the top when old Tuts
gave a lost signal yelp. Then my pulse went down to a low
ebb. VVe thought he had been gone so long the dogs would
give it up, but after waiting about a minute, when — glory!
there they go again, diverging to the right.

The bear had evidently heard them coming, and had des-
paired of getting up, and to mislead them veered to the right
around the face of the mountain. Now they have fair sail-
ing, bear going at his best Bpeed, and the dogs rapidly gain-
ing, and each yelling at the top of his voice every time he
struck the ground, and interspersed with a Wild Bill yell
from your humble servant.

I tell you things were getting pretty lively about this time.
We knew now that we were in for it, either a desperate bght
or to tree the bear.

We were skipping a long way under the exciee-
ment pretty lively. I doubt whether ahorBe could have kept
up with us now, considering the ground. All atonceanothr-r
lost yelp from oH Tuts. What iB the matter now? Ah! old
Sam comes to the rescue. He spies him up a tree, a lone
tree. Old Tuts had run by. There, now we see him — he
looks like a yearling steer standing on a limb of a large pine,
forty feet from the ground. Now we've got him. We were
still about half a mile away, bnt we could see him. We were
not long in going to him. In the mean time the dogs were
putting in their time baying, while once in a while a yell
from us kept the welkin ringing. We climbed up and
got above him, and as Tacy had never killed a bear in
the woods I told him we would ait down and
rest, then he should shoot him. So after we got rested Tacy
took good aim at the middle of his forehead and let drive.
The ball penetrated the skull, glancing up, splitting the ball,
and out about six inches back from where it went in, knock-
ing him down on to the limb. He laid there quite a little
while and finally fell to the ground. Then we had it. As
quick as he struck the ground the dogs weie om him, and as
the hillside was very steep, down the hill they all went, bear
and dogs. Sometimes bear on top and sometimes doss.
They rolled and fought for more than a hundred yards, then
for fear of the dogs getting hurt I told Tacy to give him some
more lead, which he did as soon as an opportunity presented
itself, knocking the bear dead. Then we rolled him down to
the foot of the hill. Tacy went home and got a horse, and
we stood him on bis head and shoulders and balanced over
his hind feet and put him on. He would weigh between
three and four hundred pounds.

I started Tacy home and I went aloDg the Bide of the
mountain north to a spring I knew of, and found bees water-
ing. Watched them awhile, got a course, and found a bee-
tree, which, perhaps, we will cut when you come, and the
other one, too, that I found before and told yon of.

The next morning — on the same mountain — I went back to
look after some buck tracks I had seen the day before. I
followed them up some five miles, came onto four large ones,
got a shot, but shooting down hill I was fearful I would over-
shoot; taking my aim too low I under-shot, making him
jump about six feet in the air. I had followed them too
loDg already to give them up at one shot, so I put out with
old Tut's 6low tracking and followed them about four miles
further, ooming in sight three tiroes. They were on top of
one ridge while I was on another, but I still followed on.
Finally (they had given me up, but I was of a different mind.
I had not given them up) they had gone into a plum thicket
and was busily eating plums, when all at once old Tuts,
being on ahead, made a dive right under the hill close to me,
and scattered them right and left.

The largest one went right straight across a little ravine,
and iu plain view of me, about one hundred and fifty yards
away. I brought old 45x70 to shoulder with alacrity, and
dealt him out one. He was on a steep hill-side, and stood
nearly as straight as a man, back to me. The ball just
missed the back-bone and came out the other side, pa-sing
just over the heart. It knocked him down, but he was up in
an instant, and I gave him another, bnt this time a little too
far baok. About this time old Tuts was od to him, but being
a large deer he wai very stout, and gave the dog a hard
tnsale, Tuta got him by the under-iaw, and the deer went
1 down the hill, the dog throwing him several times. Finally
* got down into the ravine, Tat§ still holding him, but by tbi«

time the buck got his horns over the dog and held him to the
ground; his horns were long and full grown, but not hard
yet, velvet still on. In this attitude they shuffled on, fifty
yards or more. I could see it all, but could not yet get to
them, owing to the thick brush on my side, but at that time
I was getting near, eo I went up within ten feet and took my
little gun (pistol) and shot him'in back of the head, dropping
him instantly, much to Tuts delight, or I would have thou°ht
so had I been in bis place, but he did not seem to care^o
much. He was all the time tugging away, barking and growl-
ing as much aB to say, '*Mr. Buck, I will get you pretty
soon." The buck was about as large as the one we killed
when you were here— nearly 200 pounds— but his horns were
more than as big again; longer, full-sized. There 1 was, by
this time sundown, ten miles from home mountain way, or
twelve round McGonaha Cinj'on or valley. I look the latter
way; left my buck and tramped for home, reaching tbere
about 9 o'clock at night.

Next morning I took my spring wagon, and wife and sad-
dles, drove within a mile of the deer, tk.-n saddled up the
horses and rode up to where it wa=*. We hai to do with it
as we did the bear— stand it on its head aDd pass the hind
legs over the saddle, and my wife pulled down on them as
levers, while I lifted up on the other side and got dim on in
this way. We gathered a sack of wild plums, killed a jack
rabbit, started home, divided out the buck with our neigh-
bore, and got home that night without further accident.

Well, let me see. Saturday killed the bear, well it was
Monday night when we got home with the buck. Tuesday
went back to see what had become of the other three bucks
that were with the oue I got. Could not find them and
started home. When — what is this — what is it, I never Baw
such a thing, getting darker and could see it, but could not
see so as to tell what it was — a great big ball, as big as a
bushel basket. Shall I shoot at it? No, I must see what it
is first. Might shoot somebody— somebody's pet at least.
I got me a stick, ventured up near to it. Stuck out the
stick, and dip it took it. Ha, ha, ha. Stick all full of quills.
Irs a porcupine, by the faith of six bibles. Shoot him, no.
I will capture him and take him home. Five miles from
home, mind. Yes, I am going to have him if he is on top
of the Lime Stone Mountain and up a tree. So I laid down
my gun. Started up the tree, bushy oak tree, and he started
up higher. I was armed with a two foot stick. Went clear
up to the top, me after him, planning all the time how I
would manage. Finally he goi just as high as he could get
and I was as high as I could, head and shoulders above him,
with each foot in the forks of limbs below him. Then we
were facing one another. No, I was facing him; but he —
they are a very modest animal — their back is always turned
to you when you approach them, with their quills ready end
tail to knock them into you. Well, be this as it may. We
were there, the animal and myself, in top of tree, now dark,
five miles from home, 25 feet to the gTounri, not a thing to
tie with but my cartridge belt. "Well I would try to work
the belt around it, while his tail was hammering away at my
stick. But the belt was too short at one end, and in reach-
ing for it would get my hand too near his tail. And, bin*,
he would take it, leaving about 15 or 20 barbed quills stick-
ing in my hand (through my gloves, for I took the precaution
to put them on), from an eighth to half an inch in. I do
not know whether they have eyes in their backs or not, but
there is one thing sure, every time my hand got near that
tail it got loaded with quills. Then the pulling out took up
so much time, when I had to hold "with one hand to keep
from falling, and take my teeth to pull the quills with.
Some I would bite off. I pretty soon came to the conclusion
that he was getting the best of me at this, would keep me
picking out darts all night, for he seemed to have an inex-
haustible supply. I had kept changing hands, so that by
this time both were full, so I thought there was not much
more room for quills, could not be much worse, so I made a
grab for his tail. I got it too. I had him this time, and he
had me too. It was hard telling which was the f siest. But
I was going down out of there with him so I wrenched him
loose from the tree and started down. I had got down I
thought nearly, when he made a grab at a limb and swung
me around and I came very near falling (he was 25 pounds
weight), but I caught with oue hand to a limb and swung
clear off the tree. There I was, I did not know how far
from the ground, dark, could not see; big log and rocks under
tree swinging in space, porcupine in one hand. Could I
fall so as not to fall on it, or would it fall on me? I tell you
there was some fast thinking right then — just then. 1
I gave myself a swing and let go. It seemed a long ways
but everything has an end. I landed head down hill. Por-
cupine on top and old Tuts on top of him, but he was not
much of a stayer this lime. He was perfectly willing to let
me have all the fun.

Well, I got straightened up after a time, got my traps all
together and started, still holding the porcupine with one
hand— and for a pretty good reason. I worked along for
some time towards home. Hand began to pain me. I must
do something else. I have got to take it home. Can not
this way. When, good idea. I happened to think of my
pants. I could take them off, chuck him in, and tie both
ends. No sooner thought of than acted on. So in the
course of an hour I had worked my pants off and the animal
in, both ends tied, and some of the quills out of my hand.
Then in my underclothes with Mr. Porcupine swinging over
my gun on my shoulder, you might have seen me plodding
along down the mountain, reaching home about 11 P. M.

I lost my butcher knife in the porcupine fight and had to
go back yesterday to find it. After I had found it I thought
I would see what bad become of my three old bucks I left
up there. I soon found them. Got one long ruuuiug shot,
but did not hit him, and night coming on I came home, get-
ting home at 9 o'clock last night.

Could you see the managers of Woodward's Gardens and
Bee if he wants any animals that I could capture, for I can
catch anything herefrom aporcopiue to a bald face bear.

We desire collateral evidence iu corroboration of state-
ments made by Dr. C. W. Aby, manager of the Glenoc Stock
Farm, in Lake County, about some shooting recently done
by him. On Wednesday, February 13th, the Doctor was in
Sacramento with Mr. Matt. Storn. That day the famous
horsemen passed in study of the Legislature, and a visit to
Rancho del Paso- On the succeeding day, Thnisday, Doctor
Aby informs us that he, with a hammerle^s, 12-bore, Colt
gun. killed near Middletown, Lake County, seven snipe, live
ducks, six kildeers, fourteen larks, aDd one roudhen, the Ut-
ter at 98 yards, using bnt thirty-six ahells to bag the thirty-
two birds. A direct issue between toe Doctor and Mr. Storn
is raised unless ubiquity is admitted io be a cbaractei
the genial manager of Glenoc. This column is opt
geDtlemen, and we hope they will explain how foil
ebot in Sacramento one afternoon, an-l birda io Lei
the Dext, by the game person. We believe both o
the case now itand- ,

Arab Once More.

From the following letter it will be seen that Mr.
Malone enters a vigorous protest against the commonly
accepted parentage of Arab, and though his language
may be considered out of the way, he doubtless, feels so
indignant over the implied charge that the evidence of
the breeder was not trust worthy, that he expresses these
feelings in stronger terms than is commendable. But it
is not surprising that Mr. Waugh perpetuated the com-
monly received version of the paternity. The Board of
Censors has so decided, the Palo Alto catalogue confirms
the verdict. Ever Fince the affidavits, which were pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman some time ago,
were received, our belief has been firmly fixed that the
breeding of Arab was as it is given by his breeder, and
quite recently the subject was brought up as an instance
when ordinary rules of evidence were thrown aside
without any reasons being given for discarding the bulk
of the testimony. We have no intention of arguing the
matter now, but from what is learned latterly, there are
good reasons for believing that the whole question will
be settled definitely, and in addition to establishing the
breeding of Arab will also afford the explanation why
his pedigree was given in the first races he trotted as
being by Electioneer.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The first part of this
week I was in your office, and in conversation with A- P.
Waugh regarding the breeding of Arab, I told Mr. Waugh
that Col. Fiy was not the breeder of Arab, bnt that I was.
He then wanted to know of me how he was bred, as he could
find no one that could give him the true facts of the case.
I told him that he was sired by General Benton, and his dam
was Lady Hercules, his granddam Nettie George by Norfolk.

I see from the last issue of your paper that you have
changed all that — that is, changed the sire — and state that he
is sired by Atherton. Such is not the case, and as I am un-
willing to confirm it, I now take this opportunity to
contradict your statement in the last issue of your paper.

In regard*to Atherton being the sire of Arab, this whole
controversy is very unpleasant. It was oonceived in fraud,
and carried out in rascality. I have already made statements
in regard to the breeding of Arab, and will be prepared to
make another very soon, when I hope the parties interested
in this petty fraud will be exposed to such an extent that
they will become disgusted with their actions and hereafter
refrain from trying to steal the honors of another man's
horse. (Signed), F. S. Malone.

San Francisco, Feb. 16. 1889.

Horse Dentistry.

It does not require very long retrospection to recall
the time when if a man had claimed to be a dental sur-
geon and gave his whole attention to the teeth of horses
that any amount of ridicule would have followed the
statement. Operations on the teeth were confined to
tricks of deception, old horses made to have young
mouths, and the dentition of youngsters hastened so that
they could be forced into market sooner.

Then came "floating," the instrument which gave the
appellation being fashioned like the shoemaker's float
which was used to rasp away the protuding pegs which
penetrated the insole of the thick boots of the day. Now
the "kits of tools" which are used by our best veterinary
dentist are so numerous and fabricated with so much
nicety that they will not suffer by comparison with those
of the professors of human toothcraft, and though arti-
ficial incisors, molars or canines are not inserted in the
jaws of horses, all the other operations are performed.

When so much depends on the "mouths" of horses,
the pleasure of riding or driving being mainly due to
obedience to the slightest intimation of the wishes as
expressed through the bit, it is not surprising that there
should be a demand for the services of a competent, prac-
titioner. Not nearly so much as there would be, how-
ever, if owners of horses realized the importance of
employing skilled men in this branch to see that their
steeds were properly cared for in this respect.

Fast trotters require constant attention. A slight
Toughness of the edges of the molars may cause a horse
to "act so badly" as to lead to the belief that his temper
is at fault, and loss of condition is oftentimes due to the
teeth being in bad sbape. Colts are prone to_suuer-
numerary teeth which are extremely troublesome. Some
months ago we gave a description of malformation in
the teeth of a colt which was still more peculiar than
was thought at the time of previous examination. There
was an abnormal growth, the upper bridle teeth coming
nearly eighteen months before the usual time, some of
the first incisors were shed before they should have been,
others retained until the second were fully even with the
surfaces of those which should have been got rid of.
There were two extra teeth about an inch and a half in
front of the lower molars, and so close together that the
tongue was pressed on them by the bit. Not being far
away from where the bridle teeth should come we were
apprehensive that it would be dangerous to extract them
and tbey were partially removed by filing. A short time
ago we obtained the services of Dr. Woodruff, and he
discovered still another pair of extraneous teeth, but so
uiueh had to be doce in the way of removal that he
decided that the safest plan would be to lay him down
before norutnenojp^ tho operation.. Dr, Eagap, acc0m-

panied him, and it is safe to assert that a parallel case
would be hard to find. The two which were under the
tongue Dr. Woodruff decided to extract, and though
much larger than wolf teeth usually are, he had no dif-
ficulty in taking them out. The other extra pair were
immediately in advance of the molars, and these were
also larger than a majority of "supernumaries." In
order to extract the teeth which should have been shed,
care had to be observed so as not to injure those intended
for permanent use, and in place of a portion of them
being absorbed, they were nearly hit act. In, all eight
teeth were extracted, the edges of the grinders smoothed,
and the whole done in so few minutes that the suffer-
ing was of short duration. He eat his teed with his
usual good appetite not half an hour after the close of
the operation, and though there has been some big holes
to fill, the healing process has been quite rapid.

This colt has been quite a puzzle. When first broken
he had a "good gait," and we felt confident that ho
would prove a fast trotter. He got to singlefooting and
adhered to that and other perplexing methods of pro-
gression, all of which may have been caused by the
irritation attending the extraneous and malformed teeth.

The result will be awaited with a good deal of cusiosity f
and as soon as his mouth U entirely healed, will put him
in training. The job was well done, and if he still per-
sists in his peculiar gaits, will have to ascribe it to some
other cause.

ClosiDg of Stakes March First— Napa and
Petaluma.

Friday next, March 1st, the colt stakes of the Sonoma
and Marin Agricultural Association, and also of the
Napa and Solano Society, will close. Those which will
be decided at Petaluma are puises, "free for all colts,"
for two and three-year-olds, the former being for a purse
of $400, the three-year-olds $500.

While the entrance fee is ten per cent, it is broken
into three payments, two and a half per cent payable at
the time of making the entry, a like percentage on May
1st, and the balance of five pei cent on August 1st. This
gives the opportunity of testing the colts for a compar-
atively small sum, twenty and twenty-five dollar b
carrying the chance in both stakes until August 1st.

The district stakes and purses are, for yearlings a stake
of $30, $100 added; for two-year-olds $50 each, $200
added, with a first payment in each case of ouly ten
dollars. The purses are for three- year-olds $300, and
for four-year-olds $400, five per cent payable March 1st,
and five per cent August 1st.

The Napa events are all in the shape of stakes, the
free for-all being limited to two and three-year-olds, the
first a stake of $50 each, $10 accompanying nomination,
$10 May 1st, $15 July 1st, and the remaining $15 ten
days before the date fixed for trotting, $250 added. The
three-year-olds are to be named in a stake of $100 each,
$400 added by the Society, and the terms are $20 at the
time of naming, viz., March 1st, $20 May 1st, $20
July 1st, and the balance ten days before the date set for
trotting.

The District Stakes are for yearlings, two-year-olds
and three -year- olds, the youngsters $40 each, $100
added, the next rank $50 each, $200 added, and the
tbree-year-olds will strive for a guerdon of $50 each'
with $300 additional. The payments are broken into
proportionate percentages as in the open, so that they
will not be burdensome to men of limited means.

For nearly thirty years we have advocated trotting
colt stakes, and have had the gratification of witnessing
the auguries of a long time ago being fulfilled. Sanguine
as were the predictions, when the first colt stakes in
Chicago were gotten up, they fell far short of what has
been realized, and if any one had been crazy enough at
that time to advance the prediction that two, three, and
four -year-olds would lower the record held by Flora
Temple, there would have been no end to the jibes, jokes
and jeers with which he would have been greeted. The
greatest objection urged in the infancy of trotting colt
stakes was that the public would have bo little interest
in the performances, which must necessarily be slow, as
to refuse countenance, and, consequently, the only money
to reward the victor was that which was fltaked, and
with so little "gate money" that the expenses would have
to be subtracted from the stakes.^

The stakes at the district fairs are important adjuncts
to colt trotting.

Even such large stakes as the Stanford and Occident
would not warrant the training as thoroughly as when
there are a succession of them to be decided, and then
again by making two classes, district colts are offered in-
ducements which will largely increase the numbers in
training.

Petaluma and Napa present other attractions beside
the ohance to win money. Time made has a wonderful

Thoroughbred Sire or Dam,

In a letter received some days ago, among other in-
quiries was the following: "In breeding trotters, when
one parent is thoroughbred, would you have a prefer-
ence as to which parent should be the thoroughbred?"

Without further explanation than a direct answer to
the question, our reply would be, on the side of the dam.
But to make our position properly understood, it will be
necessary to go into the question more elaborately, and
as the subject is of general interest to the breeders of
trotting horses who have thoroughbred blood in their
studs, we will accept it for the basis of an article.

There have been so few thoroughbred mares put ia
training with the object of making fast trotters, that
practically they are untried. We have owned a few
which gave indications of becoming fast trotters with
proper education, but something always came in the
way of carrying out the intention. Columbia, the
granddam of Anteeo and Antevolo, was harnessed a few
times by the side of Oriole, the dam of Anniversary,
and showed action which gave promise of speed, but we
were anxious to secure progeny from her as soon as pos_
sible, and put her to breeding.

Wenora, by Revenge, (a son of Fashion), her dam a
Bonnie Scotland mare, was of extra promise, and after
a few weeks' handling could show a three-minute gait,
but she died soon after. Lady Yiva had "a good way of
going," but she was also wanted for breeding purposes,
and the last one we thought of putting in training for
trotting was the most promising of any, until a serious
mishap put an end to her work for a time, and other
drawbacks came in the way. This is Santa Cruz, by
Double Cross, her dam by Norfolk, her granddam by
Woodburn, the next dam by Lexington; so that she has
three crosses of the "Blind Hero of Woodburn," and two
of Bonnie Scotland. As her size, form, and action are
all that could be desired, there was good cause for high
expectations, but the man who was engaged to break her
let her run away with a heavy breaking cart, cutting
her foot very badly, and being otherwise injured, she
was laid up. She was bred to Electioneer in 1887, and
to Antevolo in 1888, failiug in both instances to con-
ceive, and twice she has come very nearly dying.

With our well-known partiality for thoroughbred
blood in trotters, it is altogether probable that there is a
prevailing impression that far greater efforts to educate
thoroughbreds to a fast trotting step have been made
than has been the case. The reasons for not doing so, it
is unnecessary to give in detail, the most cogent being
that our circumstances were not such as to warrant ex-
periments in that line. But the point desired to be made
in this connection is, that with thoroughbreds as the
basis for fast trotters, the dependence has to be in supe-
rior form, that giving superiority for a fast pace, and
provided there is an adaptability to acquire the action
which is necessary to speed at the trot, there is a union
of the desired qualities. It may be that while the qual-
ity of trotting speed is an unknown quantity, it is latent,
and that, had there been early and continuous efforts to
cultivate it, thoroughbred mares of the stamp of Dame
Winnie, Annette, and others at Palo Alto which have
been the mothers of fast trotters would have been the
result.

A small proportion of thoroughbred stallions are
broken to harness, and when put to harness uses are
rarely marked for trotting speed. Again referring to
our nractice, and though we have broken to harness
seven thoroughbred stallions, only one of them was
given work which could be termed trotting education.
The seven were Burnbraes, Craigieburn and Scottish
Knight, by imported Bonnie Scotland, Hock-Hocking by
Ringmaster, Double Cross by Malcolm, Sir Thad by
Thad Stevens, and Rathbone by imported Young Prince.

Scottish Knight was from a mare by Knight of St.
George, and he showed such an adaptability to trot fast
when broken at a year old, that he was kept in training.

This was while our residence was at Atwood Place,
near Chicago, and in conjunction with. D. A. Gage bad
a large number of trotting bred colts, a majority of
them being by Logan, a son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
Scottish Knight was far superior to the best of them,
and in every respect of the greatest promise to trot fast,
but he died in his two-year-old form.

Hock-Hocking was broken by O. Smiley, and he was
so confident that he would trot fast that he offered to
train him, and that if he did not beat 2:40 in tbiee
months no charge would be made. Each one of the
seven had a fair road gait, but with the exception of
Scottish Knight, could not be called really apt scholars,
$t\\] it must be born in injnd that witji the exception

alluded to, that all of them, mares as well as stallions,
had been trained to gallop, and nearly all of them thad
run in races.

While more fully confirmed in the belief that a
superior race of fast trotters could be produced from
sires and dams "strictly" tnoroughbred than ever before,
we would not recommend anyone to attempt the task
unless youth and money were united. And then, too,
other qualities would be necessary.

Enthusiasm, persistency, self-confidence, fearlessness, so
that the poisoned shafts of ridicule would pass unheeded,
a knowledge of proper form to enable the beginner to
make the right selections, and not the least qualification,
that of restricting the numbers to what could be reared
and trained in the best possible manner. Adequate cap-
ital would be an absolute neeessity, for even with a few
animals the expense would not be light.

While therefore we would not advise a person to
embark in the business of breeding horses with the sole
view of obtaining fast trotters from thoroughbreds on
both sides, or from thoroughbred sires, there is not the
least hesitation in recommending to "breed up," keep
breeding up, as long as the desired qualities are pro-
duced. For instance, if a person could secure the ser-
vices of Palo Alto to the right stamp of thoroughbred
mares, or Ansel, or Azmoor, or some others of the highly
bred Electioneer stallions, we feel that there would be
as fair a chance of success as a person could ask. We
have placed the names in the order we would give the
preference, Palo Alto having the advantage of a "full
sister" who had also inherited a wonderful flight of trot
ting speed. The dam of Ansel "threw" to Venture a
very fair race-horse, Chance, and when he was broken
to harness by Denis Gannon he exhibited a fine rate of
trotting speed. Azmoor and Montcith are brothers, so
that each of the trio named cannot be termed a chance
horse.

To continue the illustration, should the progeny then
being three-quarters thoroughbred in the near crosses
come up to expectation as regards trotting speed (their
form being an approximation, and a close one, to that
which is recognized as being the best adapted for speed,
almost assured) the next mare would be of the same
character. Seven- eights of blue blood will be the inher-
itance of the second generation, and keix years sufficient
ime to bring it to a practical test, provided the plan so
successfully carried out by L J. Rose be followed. That
is, coupling the two-year-old sire with a few mares,
though we should prefer not to have any disturbing in-
fluence during the early lessons. But suppose that four
or five years are required to test each genoration, men
who have passed middle age a short way can afford to
wait tnat long, especially when there is a reasonable
certainty of remuneration.

The strong prejudices against near crosses of thorough-
breds among the breeders of trotters is melting away
The "march of events" is bearing down opposition.much
of which was built on a foundation of sand, and progress
is the watchword. There need be no fears of finding
purchasers for animals which are of the desired type,
and all the interested clamor in the world be of little
avail when excellence is manifest, and merit cannot be
obscured by a sneer, or success denied when a quibble is
depended upon for an argument. "Too much hot
blood" has served its day, though still having an influ-
ence. While it is beyond question that a highly bred
trotting stallion is far better to couple with mares of
little breeding than a sire of their own stamp, there is
nothing to justify the converse of the proposition, and
that the better animal is unfitted for mares of still
higher breeding is au assumption which is not supported
by proof. This idea, which is greater in the way of
presenting evidence on either Bide of the question, is be
coming weaker, and when people become willing to make
the test, and in place of selecting an inferior aire, from
thinking that there must be a certain proportion of dross
to alloy the purer metal, will come to the conclusion
that silver will be better than copper, and bronze a more
valuable mixture than lead.

It would, of course, be anything but wise, to change
Dame Winnie, Annette, or the other thoroughbred mares
which have done so well with Electioneer, to any other
stallion. Still, we should have been tempted to try An-
sel on Dame Winnie, and Palo Alto on Lizzie Whipps or
Mamie C. The experiment, if n ade, would attract at-
tention from all Bides. Those who have so bitterly op-
posed near crosses of thoroughbreds would utter all
manner of prophecies of prospective failure. Men who
have some faith in a thoroughbred grandparent would
express doubts, and a few (of which we are one) await
the result with a good share of confidence.

There is not another breeding establishment in the
v-orld which could make the test. Fast trotters from
thoroughbred mares, records of 2:20 and 2:20*. and thor-
oughbred dams of fast trotters with $tf»in,s which
should be appropriate,

The only trial which will come within our reach will
be quite a piece into the dim and misty future, and the
commencement depending on a contingency. Should
Praevolo by Antevolo, from Lady Viva by Three Cheers,
granddam Lady Amanda by Imp. Hurrah, prove a fast
trotter, whatever mares we shall breed to him shall be
thoroughbreds. In a small way, too, as three mares will
be the limit of the capacity of our breeding farm, which
is not likely to be of greater extent than a few Oakland
city lots. There is another feature to bu considered iu
breeding trovers. Breeders se6 the necessity for new
strains of blood. So far the Hambletonian predominates
to such an extent that nearly all of the fast trotters traee
to that source, and when two more generations are
reached, viz., Mambrino, the grandsire of Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, that blcod is sure to be to the fore.

In-breeding to animals in close relationship to Ham.
bletonian, has proved "happy nicks" in many in
stances, but usually, in such cases, there have been
outcrosses of thoroughbred. There is not the Last
doubt in our mind that judicious in-breeding is the key
to perpetuating family characteristics. But there may
be defects, or even slight flaws, which consanguinity of
parents will intensify, and a tending to coarseness is
surely a Hambletonian characteristic. For quality and
symmetry of proportion, racing-bred horses, or those
which are nearly racing-bred, are beyond all others, and
therefore the best adapted to correct deficiencies in other
breeds.

on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
ouarter that was ahead of tbe present record. ' He
was started in several races when not in condition to
run and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which lie
descends His performances are too well known to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a

Gentlkmen;- We have used Ossidine for the past two years
and consider it invuluabl-* for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins ; there is nothing equals it; and for us It effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med bv one of
the mosu successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than any blister ever used.

ALEXANDER BUTTON,

Owned by G- W. WOODWARD, Woodland, Yolo County, California.

A grand oolt he was, a grand stallion the last season has
proved Alexander Button to be. A great three-year-old, a still
greater four-year-old, as 2:26} in a third heat in 1881 for a
oolt of that age was a grand performance. But his work
showed him to be a horse of still higher class of speed than
his races demonstrated. Game, enduring and level-beaded
was amply exhibited in public and in private, we have from
good authority, he has shown miles in 2:16 and halves in
1 :05. Had he been continued in training there is little doubt
that he would have oocupied a very high place among the
great trotters of this coast.

But the perfection of a stallion is his progeny, and in this
respect he deservedly occupies a conspicuous position. His
daughter, Yolo Maid, is beyond doubt the most wonderfu

young pacer whioh has yet appeared. That is saying a good
deal, when the same year witnessed the advent of Adonis
and Gold Leaf, and yet there are few who are not swayed by
prejudice who will deny her the pride of place. Two minutes
and fourteen seconds is a notable performance at any age,
when it is made by a three-year-old it approaches the marvel-
ous,

Still better from a trotting standpoint is the feat of Kosie
Mo in gaining a record in her five-year- old form of 2:20$, and
furthermore, both of these representatives of Alexander
Button are mares of high form and of great beauty. This
was likely to follow, as their sire was a fine looking oolt, and
though we have not seen him since he was four years old,
good judges unite in calling him one of the beBt looking big

horses that can be found in any oountry. This the cut
shows, and we are assured that it is an admirable representa-
tion of the horse. This should follow from his lineage, as
his son Alexander, was also one of the good looking big ones,
and a trotter as well.

Then the combination of Alexander and Battler lines pro-
duced another great trotter in Reliance, who gained u record
of 2:22}, and had speed enough to be good company for the
fastest.

Taken altogether, form, size, breeding, speed and hi« pro-
geny, and this horse can be safely classed as otn
"Notable Horses of California," and we are muoL
in being able to present so good a likeness to our rt

The Life of a Jockey-

Some weeks ago. in giving a report of a race a repre-
sentative of the Breeder am. Sportsman alluded to jockey
Hazlett as "The Garrison of the Pacific Coast. Almost
every newspaper East of the Eooky Mountains which de-
vote'any space to sport, has mentioned Mr. Hazlett's name
and allnded to him as quoted above. The ed.tor of one of
the principal sporting papers has written to this office for a
short history of Mr. Hazlett, and, thinking it might interest
onr readers, we give the result of an interview with him.

John Thomas Hazlett was born near Edinbnrgh, Christian
Co Ills in 1S56, and is consequently thirty-three years of
age' His father was a farmer, and had a number of horses,
but was not interested in bldoded stock, although he always
attended the county fairs and rice meetings, on which occa-
sions "Tom," as he was always called, was taken along,
the lad early developed a love for thoroughbreds, there
being an adjoining farm, the owner of which had several, and
Tom, whenever he visited there; was permitted to exercise

When thirteen years old, his parents allowed him to go to
work for Mr. Adair, who had a stable of horses at Beards-
lown Hazlett had to begin at the lowest round of the lad-
der -arrying food and water for the horses, and rubbing up
the' harness. It was some time before Mr. Adair would
allow him to ride in a race, but finally, requiring a light
weight for a three-quarter race, the boy's ambition was grat-
ified and he was given the mount. The race did not take
place on a regular course, but over a level piece of land
selected for the purpose. There were nine starters, and all
the horses of rather inferior quality, but Tom was fortunate
enough to laud his mount in second, which so pleased Mr.
Adair that from then out Hazlett was given a chance when-
ever occasion required. It is with considerable pride that
Tom tells how he won his first race, which was the second
one in which he started. There were five horses to face the
flag, and in the pools Adair's entry was thought bnt little of.
Hariett's mount was called Dixie, and in pools averaging $50
would sell for five and six. When the word was given,
Dixie was next to the last, but he gradually crept up, until
he headed his field, and when only a furlong from home,
Tom gave him his head, and won in a canter.

Most of the races then in vogue, as stated above, were not
run on regular courses, but on open land, the owners giving
permission for the races to take place. Ab a natural conse-
quence, there were no hotels or boarding honBes for the men,
so they carried a tent around with them, and pitohed it as
necessity required. Racing would usually extend over a
couple of days, at the expiration of which the camp would be
broken and the party would go to the next selected place.
He rode for Mr. Adair nearly four years, at times being
'■[armed out" to other owners, receiving twenty dollars a
month and ten dollars every time he won a race. Being of
frugal habits he saved up a tidy Bum, and resolved to go to
California, of which he had heard so much. His parents
prevailed on him not to go, so he stayed home from 1873 to
1875. The old feeling returning, he started for the Land of
the Golden Fleece, to visit an uncle, with whom he stayed
several months. He returned to Illinois but came back again
in 1S76, and bought several horses, among the number being
Snap by Norfolk, dam Jennie Hull. This should have been
- great race horse, but he had been spoiled as a two-year-old,
and had a most lrightful temper. Hazlett kept buying and
selling horses, riding sb opportunity offered, and at times
ran his own horses. The only tame he has ever been regu-
larly engaged whSi any stable as jockey was in the spring of
1888, when his services were Becured by B. C. Holly. He
rode' twelve times for Mr. Holly, winning ten times and being
second twice. In the summer of 1888 he returned home to
see his aged oarents, and while at Washington Park, Chicago,
Cy Mulkey prevailed on him to accept several mounts, the
first of which he won with Yum Yum. On being asked whom
he considered the best jockey he had ever rode against, Mr.
Hazlett replied that he considered Fred Carillo the superior
of any he had ever met; he was good at the post, a magniri-
cent judge of pace, perfeotly cool headed, and always kept his
horse well in hand for a race at the finish.
"Are you going East this year?"

"Yes, I shall take back several, as I have entries at Chicago
and also at the Twin City meeting. I will take Laura Gard-
ner, a five-year-old by Jim Brown, dam Avail by Leinster,
Jack Brady by Wildidle, dam Sonr Grapes by Norfolk, and
possibly two two-year-olds."

"Will you accept any mounts when East?"
"If there is any one who desires my services I shall be
pleased to ride lor them when my own horseB do not start
bnt aa I am almost a stranger there will not be many who
will want to hire me."
"At what weight do yon ride?"

"I rode once last year at 93 pounds, but prefer a hundred
pounds. There is no inconvenience for me in riding at that
weight, and I can then reserve all my strenth without entail-
ing on myself unnecessary punishment."
"Will you go East of Chicago ?"

' I will go on to New York to ste the tracks at Monmoutb,
SL^epsbead, Gravesend, and Jerome, as I have never seen
ui, and may take the horses if they are still in good Con-
don, and fit tor further campaigning."
Do yon believe in whipping and the use of spurs?"
1 Well, that is rather a hard qnestion to answer. I always
iveboth, but I have seen hundreds of races lost through
[be use of the whip. There are many jockeys who do not
■iss disci ruination with it, and they think it looks well from

, i » a. ,„„.,;,. „f horses who ' almost every horse on the Iraok is now provided with boots,

the Grat d Stand, but there are any quantity of horses who a^ ^^ .^ ^ ^^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^ _n

are ruined from its immoderate use. I prefer not to nse spurs | Anstraiia The centennial champion prize for the best col-

when it can be avoided, but at times it becomes necessary fn | onial-bred trotting slallion was won by Burlington, owned by

a braising race, however it depends altogether on the dispo-

sition of the animal I am riding."

"What is the best horse you ever rode?"

"Well, I thought you would ask that queation and I have
been trying to think np a bit, and can recall three all about
alike. There was Ninena by Jim Brown, dam Nannie Hub-
bard, was a good one, and Yum Yum pretty fair, but for a
weight carrier I fancy Eepetta, owned by the Matlock Bro-
thers, of Oregon, was the best I ever rode."

"Did you ever see a horse that you thonght conld beat Ten
Broeck'B time for a mile?"

"Yea, I think Mr. Swartz'a horse Mark L conld have beat
the record time, and 1 have heard scores of others make the
same remark."

Mr. Hazlett is a quiet unassuming man, rather diffident in
his manner, and blushed like a school girl at several of the
personal questions whioh were put him. Wherever known
he is a great favorite, and will without doubt make hosts of
friends when on his travels this year.

Mr. Baldwin's Intentions.

Mr. Baldwin was asked a few evenings ago if the current
rumor was correct that he would not run any horse in Cali-
fornia this year. He replied that Dame Enmor was, in this
instance, not at fault, except that ho would in all probability
start a few at Los Angeles, but would not bring any to
the Blood Horse meeting. He has altered his original inten-
tions and will take two car loads of horses East about the
first of May, one load he will sell and the other will be used
for racing purposes. He has made Isaac Murphy, the jookey,
a proposition to ride for him, and to quote his own words,
"you can bet your life it ain't ten thousand a year." He has
not notified Mr. Baldwin whether he will accept or not,
although Beveral of the Eastern newspapers have stated that
Murphy would shortly start for California to join the stable.

The mares at Santa Anita are to be bred this year SB fol-
lows:

SiBter Anne, Jennie D„ Clara D., Santa Anita, Jennie B.,
Experiment, Glenita, Hermoso and Miss Ford to Grinstead.

Marie Stuart, Fallen Leaf, Maricopa, Santa Anita Bell,
Anita, Savannah and Grisette to Emperor of Norfolk.

Gray Anne and Freda to Entherford.

Dollie L., Josie C. and Maggie Emerson to Volante.

Mollie McGurn, Gloretta and Estrella to Gano.

On mention being made that sporting journals were sur-
prised at Mr. Baldwin's assertion that on the Eastern tracks
Californians get the worst of the handicaping, the gentleman
remarked, that nothing else could he expected, as the men
who fill the positions on the big tracks make their living out
of four or five of the largest horse owners and naturally
favored them in weight.

Training Trotters in Australia.

G W. Griffin, the United StateB Consul at Sydney, Bays in
his report that very little attention has been paid to the train-
ing of road horses in Australia. The taste ol the people, how-
ever, is now changing in that respect. The trotting matches
at Elsternwick Park, near Melbourne, and those of the Syd-
ney Driving Club, at the Agricultural Grounds, near Sydney,
aie daily becoming more popular, and it is said that this
sport is also becoming popular at Adelaide and other cities in
Australia. This should be very gratifying to the public, in-
asmuch as the eport of trotting leads to something of a direct
praotical value. The racehorse, strictly speakiDg, is of little
use or interest except to the turfmen, and is seldom seen off
the race track, while the trotter iB not only a UBeful ammal in
the buggy and carriage, but is a fascinating sight on the road,
giving pleasure and recreation to thousands in everyday life.
Among those to whom oredit is due for encouraging the sport
of trotting in Australia are Dr. Weir of Melbourne, the Hon.
James Miller and Dr. George F. Slate of Sydney, and Mr.
Andrew Towns of Hobartville. The last-named gentleman
nurcliasod in the United Slates the stallion Contractor. Mr.
Towns also purchased for Australia Honesty and Childe Har-
old The lattei is by Harold. Dr. Slate has recently im
poried from America the fine stallion Doncaster ana several
valuable mares for breeding. It was through the infloence
o! Dr Slate that Mr. F. B. Baldwin of Buffal visited the col-
onies' Mr. Baldwin first introduced the modern method of
booting and driving, and it has beoome so popular that

Mr. A. L. Faiihful of Sidney. This valuable horse was se-
cured to New South Wales through the viBit of Mr. E. B.
Deane to the United States in 1884. Mr. Deane travelled
from Maine to California in search of su:table horses, and
finally purchased two mares in foal by Bob Mason, whose
sire was Echo, by Eysdyk's Hambletonion. The result of
the purchase wbb Burlington and a filly, both foaled in New
South Wales in June, 1885. Burlington is a magnificent
horse for his age, a perfect picture of strength and symme-

The Death of Ossory and Prince Io.

In last week's Breeder and Sportsman mention was made
of the death of these grand horses, and now it is learned
from the New York Sportsman that grievonB charges are made
against the officers of the vessel on which the unfortunates
were shipped. The editor of that journal says: "From what
I have heard of the manner in which Ossory and Prince Io,
that died on the passage to this country from England on
the National Line steamer The Queen, were handled, Mr.
Milton Young has ample grounds for an action for damages
against the steamship company, and it is to be hoped that
he will recover a good substantial recompense. It seems
the horses were Bhipped in the forward part of the vessel,
and in the stormy passsage they were practically flooded and
battered to death by the seas which swept in through the
open hawse holes through which the anchor chains pass. If
these holes could not have been permanently closed, ordinary
seamanship would have suggested the substitution of canvas
shields, but according to Brett, the groom who accompanied
the horses, nothing wsb done and the horrible spectacle wbb
afforded of fleeing ihe valuable animals dying by inches, and
amid tortures which are almoBt incredible in these days when
humanity is extended even to the worthless stray mongrel

cur or cat.

Sprint Racing: and Jockeys.

The following sensible article is taken from the New York
"Spirit of the Times:"

We recognize the fact that four-mile heat-racing or a great
number of heat races or long-distance races are impracticable
under the present stale of affairs. Were raciDga select sport,
confined to the wealthy men of the country, and the meetings
few and of short duration, such racing would be the natural
order, as it was prior to the Civil War, when the owners were
mostly wealthy merchants in the North and planters in the
South. But racing has become the great popular sport of
the masses, who have adopted it as a medium of speculation
that rivals Wall Street itself, and the sport has been made
dependent upon public speculation for its existence, as it is
the revenues derived from it which provide the rich sums of
money added by the clubs The majority of the owners are
also men who race for pure gain (the number who race for
sport could be counted on the fingers), and to each men the
idea of racing over long distances would not be only prepos-
terous bnt ruinous.

Still we are of opinion that the nnmber of short races are
much too great. They are dependent greatly npon chance,
and are the worst races in the world for the public to bet
upon, as the horse which gets off in front in a large field has
too great an advantage, and the anxiety to get the best of the
start is an inducement to the corruption of racing officials
and jockeys. It is these short races which will yet bring the
turf into disrepute. Short races mean "in and out running."
People get disgusted with the vagaries of "public form," and
many refuse to attend the races under the belief that they
have been "played' for suckers," The increased number of
short dashes have made that class of burse more valuable
than a stake horse. Why? Because the stakes at a mile and
a quarter or a half are too few and the fields too small, while,
on the other hand, the sprinter can be made to win more
money in bets. One of our shrewdest racing nieD, Dave
Gideon, told us: "There's no sure money in stake horses.
Give me a good one for three-quarters of a mile and I cm put
him in a Belling race and win more than I can in a stake —
there's no betting in stake races."

In regard to jockeyship sprint racing has ruined the pro-
fession in America. It is a doubtful question if we have a
really artistic jockey onlside Hayward and Isaao Murphy.
The fine art of race-driving, patience, judgment of pace, fine
hands, seat, etc., is of no u-ie in this sprint lacing. It has
developed a race of "hustlers" for jockeys. All they know
is to "get off in front and hustle like the devil" to the finish.
There's no BOience in that. It's merely trickiness at the post,
disobedience of the starter and disregard for your own neck
and everybody else's which make the ideal jookey. The
starter can unmake you. If he gets "down on jou" he won't
let yon off, and you are soon voted a "blockhead," and, if
if you don't win "a Jonah," and soon sink out of sight. If
yon want to lose a race you need only get off badly; you'll
never get through, and thus you can lose a race without
rendering yourself liable for "pulling." This sprint racing
has not only developed a brainlesB lot of jockeys, but has
ruined good ones. Mr. Crickmore, of the World, intimated
the other day that Hayward regarded himself inferior to what
he once was, and great as Garrison is as a hostler we saw
him ride like a wooden man in a long distance race last sea-
son. McLaughlin, too, never was an artist at distances. He
introduced hnstling and rose upon the tidal wave of hustling
until his success brought him a monopoly of the best mounts.
Success, no matter how attained, is more potent than all the
ability in the world.

The breeding interest is bound to Buffer if this short-dis-
tance racing continues. Who is going to pay a good price
for stallions or broodmares if it continues? To run races of
half a mile, five or six furlongs a first-class stallion or msre
is not necessary. A breeder can breed as good hoises for
this style of racing from a $500 horse as he can from one
costing' $50,000. Of what avail are such magnificent animals
as Longfellow and Glenelg? But few of their get are of any
account at such distances. Some light, flashy cocktail will
answer better for stud purposes than they. The most6hrewd
of our publio breeders see tbip, as it is very significant that
of late Borne horses of no very great merit as performers have
been purchased cheap and put into the studs. We need
mention no names. We have no doubt these horses will
become more famous than their betters. Why? Because at
half mile and five furlong sprints their progeny will be at
home. A first-class horse iB not always good at these dis-
tances.

The "Breeder's Gazette" states that Mr. Eobert Steele only
paid B. C. Holly ¥12,000 for Woodnut, still Mr. Holly was
my authority for naming the purchase price at $20,000.

For The
BACKING
Of a Colt.

If you have used the Method of Housing your Colts every
"Winter; and, after the First Winter, used them in the Stable,
as yon do any other Horse; and that they will Lead, and be
as Qaiet as any Horse: You need not Fear their Plunging,
and Leaping, nor a Hundred Extravagancies more; Neither
need you Tyer him in a Bogg, or a Deep Plow'd-Field, to
take Off his Spirit, to Break his Heart, or at least, his Wind,
before yon dare get Upon him. For, being Ordered as I have
formerly Told you, you may Safely Back Him, and find him
as Quiet as a Lamb, and Never Drive him into Faint-Sweats,
which will bring many Diseases upon him.

Yon need not then a Cavezone of Cord, which Mr. Blund-
er), calls a Head-Strain; nor a Padd of Straw; but such a
Saddle as you ordinarily Bide Horses of Manuage in, with
Stirrups; and on his Nose, an ordinary Cavezone, as you
Ride other Horses with; but it must be well Lined with
doable Leather, as the Best are: and if yon will, you may
put a Wate*ing-Biit in his Month, without Bains on, only the
HeadBtal, and this but for a few Daves; and then to put such
a Bitt as I would always Bide him withal, of which we shall
Speak hereafter, and so give him the Lessons, which you
shall have Perfectly sett down in the Second Book.

Bat if you light on an Older Colt, and Unruly, then put
him to the Single Pillar, and Trot him, and Gallop him on
both Hands, until he be very Quiet, and will Peaceably Buffer
you to Take his Back; which he will not Fail to do within
four or five Dayes at the most, if you Use this Method: And
I do not Know, that the Single Pillar, the Old Way, is good
for anything, but this. At first you must Bide your Colt
without Spurrs. And thus much for Backing of Colts.

Of The
SPANISH MULES.

I have seen the Finest Shap't of them in the World; the
Finest Shap't Heads, and the Best set On; the Finest Turned
Necks, and the Thinnest, and Well Risen; Excellent Backs,
good Bodies; their Leggs Clean, and Sinewy; Admirable
Hooffs; their Croups a little Slender: And in a Word, No
Horse in the World finer Shap't, and only their Ears are a
Little Long, which, niethinks, is a Grace to them. They are
of all Colours, as Bayes, Dapple-Grayes, and so forth. Ex-
tremely Strong, as Strong as Two Horses; very Large, Some
as Large as any Horse whatsoever, and of great Prices; as
three, and four Hundred Pistols a Mule. The King of Spain
hath Beautiful], and Large ones in his Coach; they Use them
very much for the Saddle; for they Amble most Curiously,
and Easily; they seldom Stumble, bat when they Do, they
never Fall iurther than the Knees.

They are very Safe and Sure to Ride on; there be some
very Little ones, and Fine ones, like Gallowayes; and those
Commonly great Generals, and Commanders, Ride on in the
Trenches, and about Fortifi'd Castles, to View them: The
Grosser sort Ihey Use for Sumpters, WaggoDs, and Carriers
for many things. They also Ride Post on them; and Don
John de Borge, who was Governour at Antwerp, told me,
That they would Amble as fast as any Horse could Gallop.

They Live Long, and Sound, Thirty Years at 1-ast: There
are Males and Females of them, and very Hot they are in the
Act of Generation, but never produce any thing, with any
thing; either to Get, or Bring Forth.

They say, One is never assured of them from Biting or
Striking though the Groom hath kept them Twenty Years;
Bat I perceive no such Thing in them: And I have seen a
Mule go in Capriols, excellently well. They say, Tbey have
111 Mouths; but that's because they Spoyl them with Horrible
Bitts: For tbey use both Other Bitts, and other Saddles and
Furniture to them, than to Horses; wherein they are very
much Mistaken. To those that are for the Saddle, 1 would
use the very same Bitts and Saddles, as for HorBes, and no
otherwise. 'Tie true, that for Sumpters, there be Proper
things that they use for Them only, and not for Horses,
which is very Comely. And in Spain, they use in tbeir
Coaches, Ropes for the Mules (and the Horses also) to Draw
the Coaches withall. They are Excellent to Ride on in
Stoney-Wayes, none like them; they are bo Sure of Foot.

102

The New Method

The Stallions that Get thefe Mulei. are Affes,
upon very Fine Spantjb Mares.

Sir Benjamin Wright, being a Merchant at Ma-
Jnd, Writ to me once, That a Stallion Afc
would Coft,at the Ieaft, Two Hundred and Fifty
Piftoh; but others Tel] me of Greater Prices that
Tbey are at : and great Reafon, fince Mnles are
of (b great life to them in Spain.

My Lord Cottington told me, That the Aftes
in Spain, are Greater and Larger Beafis, than ever
he faw of Horfis in all his Life, and almoft of
Any other Beafl ; and are Co Furious, and full
of Spirit, That there is Men, that Live only by
the Ordering of them, and no Other Men can do
it, but thofe men which make a Trade of it • for
Others would be Kill'd by them. And Tbefe Men
Hood the After when they Cover any Mares, that
they may not See them; for otherwife they would
Pull the Mares in Pieces, and Kill them. When
they Bray, it is a mod Lowd and Horrid Noife,
beyond, any Lyon in the world.

Now you fee, There is great Reafon, why they
fhould be of Great Prices; but one thar Thinks

they

they should be just such Little dull Asses as aie in England,
of Twenty or Thirty Shillings a Piece, would Laugh to hear
this Tale told; Because they think there is Nothing more in
the World than they have seen: As in such a case, Sir
Walter Rawley said well, That there are Stranger Things in
the World, than between Stains and London. The Asses in
France, are just like the Asses in England; Little, Lazy,
Doll, and Woful things, and of as Small Price; only in those
Parts of France that are next Spain, there the Asses are
Large, but nothing in Comparison of those in Spain.

The Shee-Asses in Spain, are very Fair, and Large; For
else, How can you Imagine such huge, large, and great
Paissant Beabts should be Produc'd?

That

Beyond a huge Flanders Horse, of a Dutch Brewer, tha< hath
no Spirit: And I mast Tell yon. That the Greatest and
Largest Horses are not commonly the Strongest, but for the
most part the Contrary; for that which makeB them Draw, is
their Weight, and not their Strength, nor their Spirit; for
they have none. I dare say, I can take a little English Cart-
Horse, that shall Draw Twice as much as their Great Flanders
Horses: Commonly those they Use in Flanders are Geld-
ings.

To be Continued.

TRYING
Is the Only Way to
KNOW HORSES.

I Told you. That Marks, Colours, and Elements, are Noth-
ing at all to Know a Horse by; for they are but Philosophical
Mountebanks that Talk of s-nch Toyes. Nay, Shape is noth-
ing to Know the Goodness of a Horse; and therefore the
best Philosophy is to Try him: And you may be Deceived
then, if he be a Young Horse; for Colts "alter extreamly, both
in Spirit and Strength. What Judgment can one give of a
Little Boy, what Kind of Man he will Prove? No more can
one give a Judgment of a Colt, what Kind of Horse he will
Prove. But still Bide him, and Try him; and that is the
Best Philosophy to Know him by.

Some say, If a Horse have a Great Head, a Thick Neck,
and Fleshy Shouldere, that he is Hard on the Hand: You
must Know, That if he have any Imperfection in his Leggs
or Feet, but especiall Before, the Horse must be Hard on the
Hand; for he Leans on the Hand, to Ease the Grief of his
Leggs, as a Gowty-Man doth Use his Staff. And let him be
finely-Shap't, or ill-Shap't, if he have any Imperfection in
his Leggs, he must be Hard on the Hand; and then the Far-
rier mast Cure him, and not the Horse-man; for the Art of
Riding will not make a Lame Horse Sound.

Oar Great Masters, and Best Authours, say, That when a
Horse is Sound, if he have a Great Head, Thick Neck, and
Fleshy Shoulders; that then, of Necessity, this Horse must
be Hard on the Hand; and give many Rare Lessons, as they
Think, to make him Leight on the Hand: And they also
say, That a Horse that hath a fine Thin Forehand, must be
Leight on the Hand, wherein they are infinitely Deceived;
fori have Known more Thick Heads, Necks, and Shoulders,
Leight on the Hand, than I have Known fine Shap't, and
Slender Forehands. But it is neither the One, nor the Other,
that makes it, but meerly the Strength of his Chine. For, if
a Horse that hath a Great Head, Thick Neok, and Fleshy
Shoulders, hath a Good Chine, he will be Leight on the
Hand; and if he have a Weak Chine, he will be Hard on the
Hand. And so a Fine Forehand, if he have a Weak Chine,
he is Hard on the Hand; and if he have a Strong Chioe, he
is Leight on the Hand: So it is, not having a Gross, or a
Fine Forehand, that makes him Hard or Leight, on the
Hand; but all Consists iu the Strength of his Chine.

The Reason of that, is, Because if he hath a Strong Back,
he can Suffer without Grief or Pain, to be pat upon the
Hanches: And no Horse is upon the Hanches, bat he is
Leight on the Hand; and if his Chine be Weak, the putting
him upon the Hanches, doth so Pinch him, as he Presses
upon his Foreparts to save the Pain on his Back; and some-
times will Bun away, rather than to Suffer it; and will Leap,
rather than to be Pincht of his Weak Back: and yet I must
Tell you, The Strongest Horses are not Fittest, or Propereat,
for the Mannage, nor for a Souldiers Horse; for you muBt
Gallop him an Hour before you can take him Off his Fury;
and such Counter-times of Leaps, do In-commode the Rider,
to no Purpose: And when you would make him Go, he shall
not Go so Well, as a Horse of Half his Strength: and though
be Leaps in each a Manner, that will Disorder an Armed-
Man; yet the Best Horse-man in the World shall not make
him a Leaping-Horse: Therefore the best for the Mannage,
and the War, is a Horse that hath so much Strength as to
Indure a Stopp, and no more, to make him Eisie for an
Armed-Man. And Certainly a Weak Horse with Spirit,
Docil, and of a Good Disposition, is much Better, and will go

Whipple's Hambletonian-

BY FOLIO.

Whipple's Hambletonian has heretofore been noted as the
sire of fourteen trotters with records from 2:19 to 2:30.
When compared with the numbers in the 2:30 list to the
credit of Rysdyk's Hambletonian, Geo. Wilkes, Electioneer,
etc., the subject of our sketch makes but a meagre showing,
but if the surrounding circumstances and opportunities be
•properly weighed, it is doubtful whether the old horse is not
entitled to much greater credit than is generally accorded to
him. A glance at his representatives in the list Bhows that
but two of these were from fashionably-bred mares (Ajas,
2:29, and May Boy, 2:26); three others were from dams sired
by running-bred horses; four were from dams beyond the
pale of fashion, and five were from dams of unknown breed-
ing.

Of his sons that have bred on, Rustic, 2:30, (who was out
of a thoroughbred dam) sired Nighttime, 2:29}, oat of a
"■aid to be" mare. Priam (also running-bred on the dam's
Bide) begot Honesty, 2:25|, (at four years) out of a Chieftain
mare. Whipple, out of a mare by Easton's David Hill, sir*d
Retta, 2:28|, out of a Clark Chief mare. Gen. Dana, who
was from a mare of unknown breeding (also the dam of Alex-
ander, 2:31|), sired Volunteer, 2:27, out of a Novato Chief
(Blackhawk) mare. Volunteer, 2:27, is credited in the list
with Connemara, 2:27}, and Jackson Temple, 2:38J, sire of
Emma Temple, 2:28}, and Mattie P., 2:31. His most notice,
able line in male descent comes, however, through Hamble-
tonian Jr. (brother to Ajax, 2:29), he being the sire of Whip-
pleton (out of Lady LiviDgstone by Gen. Taylor), who,
during the past two seasons has placed to his credit Home-
stake (pacer) 2:16, Lily Stanley, 2:17}, and Flora B., 2:30, all
three of them from dams of unknown breeding.

It cannot be claimed that there would be anything very
wonderful in the showing above made under ordinary cir-
cumstances; but, if there be taken into consideration the fact
that hone of these sires have, as a role, been bred to any
better mares than generally come to "cross roads" stallions,
it mast be admitted that there must somewhere have been an
exceedingly strong trotting instinct to perpetuate the trotting
gait through four or five generations in spite of the ever-
recovering infusion of unknown blood.

The past year or two, however, has brought out the blood
of Whipple's Hambletonian in a new and stronger light.
Whipple's Hambletonian dams seem to be "nicking" most
marvelously with all sorts of Btallions. Two years ago
Dawn, 2:19}, by Nutwood, out of Countess, by Whipple's
Hambletonian, was confessedly the fastest stallion of hie age
on the coast; last year that game son of Sultan's, Soudan, out
of Lady Babcook, by Whipple's Hambletonian, scored a
three-year-old record of 2:30. The past season Lady Babcock
placed a second to her credit in Elector, 2:21^, by Elec-
tioneer; another daughter, Marti, produced (to Electioneers
embrace) Mortimer, with a four-year-old record of 2:27, and
a fourth has given us Steve Whipple, 2:23, at four yeaTs (be
being sired by Chrisman's Hambletonian). Iu addition to
the above there is Helen, 2:30£, (at three years) by Gen.
Benton.

The above are all I recall as being on the record, but it is a
well-known fact that Marlet, also by Electioneer, out of
Marti (the dam of Mortimer 2:27), trotted triala in 2:31 aB a
two-year-old, and as a three-year-old covered the Sacramento
track in a public trial in 2:27 (coming home from the half-
mile post in 1:11), whilst the records at Palo Alto show that
another sister, Morning Glory, showed quarters as a two-
year-old in 39 seconds, and Alamira (out of Alameda Maid)
as a three-year-old trotted quarters in 35 seconds. Nothing
but an accident could have prevented Strathway, by Stein-
way, out of Countess (dam of Dawn 2:19}) from scoring a
record well inside of the 2:30 limit during the past season.

It must be oonceded that the foregoing is a remarkable
showing for Whipple'9 Hambletonian. Up to 1SS8 Geo.
Wilkes, the most ultra fashionable sire of the day, had only
four dams with Bix trotters in 2:30 to his credit, whilst
Whipple's Hambletonian, with but a tithe of the former's
opportunities and "fashion," now has four dams with five
trotters in the same category.

If, however, we study the breeding of this great old horse,
I think my readers will be surprised that his worth has not
been more fully appreciated. In Martha Washington he un-
doubtedly had a great dam; her merit has been shown not
only through the breeding and success of the son under re-
view, but she has also to her credit another son, Speculation,
the sire of Oakland Maid 2:22, Gracie S. 2:28}, and Crown
Point 2:24, the last-named being furthermore the sire of
Valensin 2:23 as a three-year-old. Martha Washington's
dam was by old Abdallah, aire of the dams of Goldsmith
Maid 2:14, and six others in 2:30; her sire, Burr's Washing-
I ton, sired Lady Woodruff 2-.2S, and the dam of Jessie Maud
2:29, and was out of a Mambrino mare by Burr's Napoleon,
who. although not having anything of speed to his own
credit, must be given a share of honor in being the sire of
the dam of Fanny Mapes (dam of Jerome Eddy 2:16±) and
sire of Telegraph, sire of dam of Rarus 2:13$-.

If now we turn to Guy Miller (sire of Whipple's Hamble-
tonian) who was sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, we shall
find that the blood of this progenitor has not been dormant
either. He sired Delmonico, who in turn sired Darby, 2:16*.
and Sultana dam of Sultan, 2:24, the latter breeding in through
his incomparable sire, 8tamboul, 2:143, to ^ehnsta, 2:3i),
and Visolia, 2:29}, as a two-year-old, and timed separately in
her race with Suuol at the same age in 2:27$.

Am I then too sanguine in predicting for Whipple's Ham-
bletonion a place among the foremost of fashionab!-
It is scarcely likely that many, if any, more will f •
his 2:30 list, bat there are great possibilities and pr
still open for him through his daughters, and it b
writer that when attention is called to what be h
achieved in this line these dao^htere will bemor-
ued and more carefully mated, both to the credit .
Hambletonion and to the profit of their owners.

Suburban Tips.

For quite a number of >ears the Suburban has been looked
foward to with great expectation by the raoing public, until
it ie acknowledged [as the greatest all aged event whioh
now tafeea place in this country. How many times one
hears the remark, "It I could only pick the winner of the
Suburban," yet men keep thinkiDg over the matter until
they only 6ee cdo horse in the race and Bnally become con-
vinced that their selection cannot Iobo. Tear after year
winter books have been opened on the event and hundred!
of thousands of dollars risked on the result. In 1884 when
the great prize was captUTed by Gen. Munroe, aB much as
15 to 1 could have been had against him, for who could
imagine that he would beat such horseB aB Geo. Kinney,
Barne3, Rica, Pizarro and Jack of Hearts. Then in 1885,
Monogram, Kichmond and Rataplan were the great tips, Btill
Pontiac, an outsider, was the lucky one. For 1886, Liazie
Dwyer was the pronounced favorite, Joe Cotton and Favor
dividing second honor in the mind of the betting publ'o,
yet the winner turned up in Troubadour, against who— dur-
ing the winter the very tidy odds of 75 to 1 could have been
secured. 18S7, furnished still another surprise, as Riohmond
wbb considered the sure thing and although there wore
twenty startere, the best odds procurable against the favorite
were 2 to 1. Quito waB second choice at 5 to 2, and from
that up to 50 to 1 were laid against the others. That swerv-
ing rogue EuruB proved too much for his field, he romping
home the easiest of winners by six lengths. Before the flag
fell 20 to 1 against him could be had in thousands from the
bookies. We now come to last year's running, when Hidalgo
and Terra Cotta were equal favorites, individually, but the
ones to carry the public money was the Haggin Btable, Hid-
algo and Firenzi combined. During the winter, Elkwood
was hardly thought of, 75 to 1 being the ruling oddi, and
even 40 to 1 was given on the day of the race, the last, or
starting odds being 25 to 1. The rider of Turra Cotta, Kiley,
allowed his horse to swerve when within a few yardB of the
wire, and Elkwood waB enabled to win by half a head.
ThuB again the favorite was downed and a long shot won.
To test the opinion of prominent horsemen in California and
eUewhere as to the probable winner this year, about fifty
have received poBtal cards and their opinions asked for, in
addition to individuals who have been personally invited to
give their preferences.

Genial Tom Merry, editor of the Portland Sunday Mercury
— I fancy Taragon on his performances of last year, I think
Mr. Cassatt's entry the best of the lot, at the weight.

"W. L. Appleby — I like Aurelia, but as mares are seldom
at their best at that season of the year, if I selected one, not
knowing anything more about them than their performances,
I would take Hanover.

Leslie E. McLeod, assistant editor of Wallace's Monthly
has a warm heart for the thoroughbred, as well as for the
trotting families, and he gives his opinion. At the weights
Belvidere will have a great show.

Matt Storn — If Eolian comes to the poBt in proper condi-
tion, he should win handily.

James McLaughlin, jookey for the Chicago Btable — At first
glance I think that Terra Cotta should have no trouble in
winning.

Col. Fred Vaughan — From the manner in which Judge
Murray finished up his season I rather fancy the Bertha B.
colt.

W. A. Purssell of New York, at present visiting the Pacific
Coast — From the consistant manner in which Kingston ran
last year I incline toward his chances.

C. E. Trevathan, horse editor of the San Franoisoo Chron-
icle—I must slick to the favorite, The Bard.

Ben Benjamin, "Dagworth," of the Los Angeles Tribune —
I am inclined to think that the Clifton Horse, Drumstick
has more than a passing show at his light weight.

Walter Olney, who lately bought Winfield from 0. B. Hag-
gin — Kingston first, last and all the time, will prove the only
thing in it.

Peter DeLacy, well known bookmaker of New York— I wish
Mr. Haggin had left Firenzi in, she was good enough for me,
The Bard will have to be my next choice.

Al Banfill, a Bnsh Street celebrity— Inspector B. should
win, if his legs do not give way under the preparation.

M. McManus, trotting horse driver— Gorgo ought to be a
very hard mare to beat.

Matt Allen, trainer for Senator Hearst — I think Firenzi was
hardly dealt with, Kingston in his best form may win.

P. McCaffrey, turf writer for the San Francisco Call— If
fit, Hanovor should have little or no trouble islanding the
prize.
Judge W. G. Tyler— Aurelia ia a mighty good horse.
George Tuttle, of Whitehead and Co. — Baceland cannot
possibly lose it.

T. R. Horton, after a caret nl perusal of the entries and
weights — Put me down for Hanover.

Tom Atchison, the old time turfite — I don't want to see the
list; there's only one horse in it, and that's Terra Cotta.

R. T. Carroll, member of the P. C. Blood Horse Associa-
tion— Egmont Bhould have as good a chance as any.

S. B. Whitehead, the noted pool seller — I cannot see how
Terra Cotta can be beat. "All right, Tuttle. I'll go you an
oyster supper; my selection against yours."

Charles KingBley, prominent bookmaker— The handicapper
haB let Eolo in so easily that I will have to select him.

Bob Holland, whom everybody knows— The Bard will run
away from that lot.

Hon. E. 8. Culver, Secretary of the Blood Horse Associa.
tion, and member of the Assembly— My preference is for Ynm
Yum.

Al Leech, the pool-aeller— If stable information is correct,
The Barb should win.

Cy. Mulkey, a well-known horseman — I mnst say if Terra
Cotta is sound, he is my choice for the Suburban.

Southern Pacific Handicap.

The following entries have been made to Secretary H. T.
Eodman, of the Southern California Racing Club, for the
Southern Pacific handicap, to he run on the first day of the
Spring Meeting at Lob Angeles. EntrieB closed Feb. 21:

Archie Stevenson— Susie S. 4 — 1C6 pounds.

Archie StevenBon-Gem of the Mountain 5 — 103 pounds.

T. Bally— Little Phil 3—95 pounds.

Advertising Notes.

The fashionably bred black stallion Henry Clay is offered
for sale by Mr. J. McEntee of Monterey County. There is
no more Btylish horse to be found in all California, his action
is perfect, and although never trained for speed he can show
a three minute gait at any time. Bead the advertisement
for particulars.

Mr. Mathews who formerly worked for General Bidwell at
Chico, is requested to send his address to this office.

Trainer Griffen of the Bay District track has two advertise-
ments in the current issue, one announcing that Arlington,
by Abbottsford, dam the Gillespie mare by Blue Bull, will
make the season at the track. Montgomery Queen, Esq.,
used to drive the dam of this horse, and she was considered
one of the finest roadsters in the United States. The sire
Abbottsford, 2 : 1 9 i- , is so well known that nothing need be
said about him. This magnificent stallion will stand at the
low price of $25 the season. He also informs the public
that he has the well bred stallion Bine Gown for sale. Bead
the pedigree, and it is long odds that if you want to buy a
good horse that you will give Mr. Griffen a call.

Mr. Fred W. Loeber announces that his three stallions
Whippleton 1883, Alcona 730, and GrandiBsimo, will make
the usual season at St. Helena. Of Whippleton too much
cannot be said; it is doubtful if there is another stallion in
the United States that can show such a record : Lily Stanley
2:I7i, dam's breeding unknown; HomestakeB 2:16$, pacer,
dam's breeding unknown; Flora B. 2:30, dam's breeding un-
known; Bachael 2:38, dam's breeding unknown. If that
does not stamp Whippleton as being one of the best pro-
ducing sires in the world, then facts go for nothing. In
Alcona 730, Mr. Loeber has as fashionably bred a horse as
one could desire. The most conclusive proof that Alcona is
ail that is claimed for him is evinced in the fact that eleven
of his oolts sold for $7,810, an average of $710 each. He is by
Almont, and one of his very best sons; his colts all possess
speed, style, beauty and ti Dish. Grandissimo is a full brother
to Grandee (three-year-old record 2:23^), being by La Grande,
dam Jessie Pepper by Mambrino Chief. This tine young
horse is limited to ten mares, and several applications for
service have already been made. Bead the different pedigrees
in the advertisement, then Bend for further particulars.
Address, F. W. Loeber, St. Helena.

Still another well bred stallion is Amberine by Prompter,
dam Bonnie by John Nelson. In this horse Sows the justly
celebrated blood of "Wilson's Blue Bull 75, who has placed
scores in the "30" class. Prompter's dam Prairie Bird is in
the Great Brocd mare table, a proved producer herself, and
from a great family of producers. Any information required,
further than is shown in the announcement will be cheer-
fully given by either the proprietor, Mr, J. J. Evans, or Sam
Gamble at the Oakland race track

The well known W. H. (Knap) McCarthy, of Los Angelas,
notifies the readers of this paper that he will receive only ten
approved mares for his stallion Bajah 2:29£. Eajah, is by
Sultan, dam Kitty Wilkes by Geo. Wilkes; second dam by
American Clay; third dam by Sir Arohy. Now where is the
person that has ought to say against that pedigree. If ■ 'Knap"
does not secure ten mares in very short order for Bajah we
will sadly miss our guess. Address Mr. McCarthy, Los
Angeles.

Napa City is not behind with the stallion record, for from
there we receive the advertisement of Wilkes Pasha 2618, as
far as we are aware at present, the only son of Onward, trial
2:17, that is in this State. Onward was by George Wilkes,
2:22, and is one of the most noted sires of the day. In 1887
he placed seven performers in the 2:30 list, and in 1888 still
further added to his reputation by placing nine sods and
daughters in the list. Wilkes Pasha, with deBirable mares,
should prove one of the best stallions in California, and will
undoubtedly stamp himself such by his produce.

At the sale of trotting horses put np at auction by the
executors of the Searle estate, Sunflower, 2:28, was bought
by Dan McCarty, price $950. Duchess, Frank Burke, $575.
Don Quixote, A. Bosenbaum, $725. Somoa, J. H. Smith,
$2S0. Fleetwood, S. Otis, $170. Bobert Elsmere, McMahon
& Son, $340. Judge Belden, L. Jones. $290. Ben Hur. L.
Jones, $220. Bex, Sam Gamble, $700. Silver Thread, Dan
McCarthy, $525. Engadine, Mrs. J. M. Donahue, $260.
Ko Ko, S. OtiB, $235. After the sale the pacing horse
Damiana was sold to Mr, Graham of Eureka, price $325.

Mr. H. W. Heinsch of 267 North Main street, Lob Angeles,
has been appointed sole agent for the sale of the celebrated
McKerrons's horse boots, and announces that fact to the
residents of California through our columns. The standard
goods have a high representation, and Mr. Heinsch will
add greatly to hiB already large saddlery business by band-
ling the fine horse equipments.

Mr. John Bowen, of Oakland, sends in an advertisement
regarding his stallion St. Nicholas. As the last edition of
this journal had an elegant cut of this horse, with full des-
cription and pedigree, it is unnecessary to say much about
him now. St. Nicholas is justly considered ODe of Sidney's
best sons, and as the fee is only $50, should be largely patro-
nized.

MATHEWS.

If MR. MATHEWS, Short-horn expert, late of
Gen. Bldwells, of Chico, Butte County, win send his
address to this office he will greatly oblige.

Remember that entries for the Los Angeles Spring Meeting
close with the Secretary, Mr. H. D. Rodman, on March 15th.

Jimmy McLaughlin the jockey is travelling west, and may
in all probability come to San Francisco before he joins the
Chicago Stable.

General E. F. Bealo has joined the circle of horsemen at
the Palace, and is as enthusiastic as any of the younger
members of the coterie.

An Australian syndicate is trying to purchase Harry
Wilkes, 2:13£, and Rosalind WilkeB, 2:14f. The pair have
been offered for $50,000.

I am informed that Mr. Homer Saxe has sold his stallion,

purse $1,000 instead of $500.

Hon. E. S. Culver, secretary of the Blood Horse Associa-
tion, informs me that the first day of the Blood Horse Meet-
ing will be April 20th.

Mr. Lindsay, a Montana stock man, has taken several
horses over with him to England, and has already won two
steeplechase races with them.

E. A. DeCamp has resigned as Secretary of the Sixth Dis-
trict Agricultural Association. It will be a hard matter to
replace such an active, hard-working official.

Theodore Winters has the finest lot of yearlings he has ever
had. His horses which wintered at Washoe were brought
down to Sacramento on last Monday.

A syndicate, consisting of New York breeders, have offered
Col. R. J. Stoner, of Kentucky, $46,000 for Baron Wilkes,
but the Colonel says his horse is not for sale.

Bermuda, 2:2GJ, is the only horse in the history of the
trotting turf which has been in active training since a year-
ling, that each successive season has lowered his record.

Jockey Covington was reported to have signed with Sen-
ator Hearst for the approaching season, but the rumor was
unfounded, as Norvice will be the light weight jockey.

Among the high caste mares sent to St. Bel this year are
Aldine and Early Rose, Mr. Vanderbilt's great team that
trotted the Hartford track in 2:164 in the fall of 1882.

Two of Senator Hearst's two-year-oldB were Bent a half, a
few days ago in 53 seconds. Tbat was beat all to pieces, how-
ever, by L. U. Shippee's Whisban, who covered the same dis-
tance in 51| very handily.

Volante will positively be taken East in the Baldwin string,
but he will not be started until the Saratoga meeting. Mr.

horse 1b as good as ever.

Mr. Edginton, of Napa County, has purchased a grand
looking stallion, five-years-old by Whippleton, dam The
Bucephalus mare. He is being put through his paces by
Mr. Marsh, at the Santa Rosa track.

Phallis and Anteeo.

Mr. Theodore Winters has visited his Sacramento ranch

exact counterpart of the Emperor.

C. B. Hnrxthal, a well-known turfman and breeder of trot-
ting and racing stock, and proprietor of the Chillicothe Driv-
ing Park, died last week of pneumonia, aged 60 years. He
leaves a large eBtate.

It is the opinion of a good many turfmen, says the Breeder's
Gazette, that if Messrs. Haggin and Baldwin want to win
handicaps at the far Eastern meetings they will have to quit
running their nominations for those events at Louisville and
other Western and Southern poiDts.

Harry Lowden is over in Nevada, and he writes from Reno
that he has visited Mr. Theo. Winter's Stock Farm at Washoe.

all looking grand. He will return to this city about the 15th
of next month.

A fire broke out in the basement of the main building at
the Bay District track a few days ago, and if it had not been
for the vigilence of one of D. J. McCarty's men, the loss
would undoubtedly have been Berious. The fire was
discovered about half past six in the morning, and the occa-
sion of it is not known.

A literary wave is sweeping with moving force among the
trotting horse trainers. Charles Marvin is now preparing a
work on "Training the Trotting Horse,*' which will be a
practical exposition of the Palo Alto method of developing
trotters. Mr. Leslie E. Macleod of Wallace's Monthly will
have charge of the literary construction of the work, the

The San Jose Blood Horse Association have secured the
services of J. W. Oonathan as starter for the forthcoming
races. A man of rare experience in such matters, Mr. Don-
athan should give great satisfaction.

Mr. D. D. Withers confidently asserts that his two-year-
old Chieftain is a better colt than the Faverdale one was last
season. If he is correct, the new candidate for turf honors
must be another Tremont.

C. Y.Tupper and James Brown, the trainer of Santa Rosa,
passed through the city on their way to Sacramento last
week. They report the horses at the track in good condi-
tion, Al Farrow being in splendid form.

W. J. Gordon, the well-known horseman of Cleveland, is
considering the sale of ClingBtone, Guy, Nobby, Clingstone
II and his brood mares. If he decides to sell, the horses will
be offered at the Fasig sale in May. Mr. Gordon is in poor
health, and thinks of disposing of his trotters for that reason.

At the Brat, field sale, at Lexington, Ky., there were a total

for Bell Boy.

The San Jose Blood Horse Association have adopted the
rules of the P. C. B. H. A , with the exception of the one
referring to dead heats. They have decided that any dead

tion, and not after the last race of the day, as the rule at
present reads.

Mr. G. A. Doherty has removed his sensational trotter,
Victor, 2:22i, from Indian Valley, in Plumas County, to
Chico. He will, in all probability, be prepared there for the
season's campaign. His owner feels assured that the colt's
present record will be materially reduced.

Mr. J. W. Wilson, of Sacramento, ex-President of the Cap-
ital Turf Club, is highly spoken of by the many strangers
who go there to Bee the horses at the track, or to visit the
many stock farms in that vicinity. He is courteous and
obliging, always ready to give information and show atten-
tion to visitors.

Mr. W. H. Wilson, Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., on the
31 inst. lost the black stallion Ravens wood, public trial at
four years old, 2:26, by Blackwood Jr., 2:22£. The horse
bad but a few weeks ago been farmed to parties in Hamilton,
Mo., where he died of congestion of the lungs.

Mr. T. J. Ludwig, of Santa Rosa, has purchased a full
brother tohis fine trotting horse by Alexander Button, sire of
Yolo Maid. Like the other, he is a bay, stands the same
height, 17 hands, and the pair can trot together in 2:35. They
are both at the Santa Rosa track being exercised.

Patron is now the sole property of Mr. C. F. Emery. Two
years ago he paid Mr. A. D. Merrill, of Tilsonbnrg, Can.,
$12,500 for a half interest in the stallion. Last week the
master of the Forest City Farm visited Tilsonburg and
paid Mr. Merrill a laige sum for his share of the great young
stallion.

Robert Bonner has been interviewed in New York aDd was
asked if it was true that he proposed buying Sunol, and
said, "There has been some correspondence between Senator
Stanford and myself regarding SunoL but we have not
reached any conclusion yet, consequently I do not care to
say anything more about it now. I will say, however, that
no suoh price as $50,000 has been mentioned by Senator Stan-
ford."

Mr. Arthur Brisbane writes me from London that all re-
ports to the contrary notwithstanding, Ormonde will be
shipped to Buenos Ayres as soon after the first of June as
possible. Mr. Gerrard, who had leased his services from the
Duke of Westminster, gives up one year of the time, and
the Argentine Republic bnvs the horse, paying therefor
$70,000. "

Mr. W. H. Wilson, Cynthiana, Ky., has sold to W. P.
Brock, of Maud, Bucks Co., Pa., the bay yearling oolt Gray's
Ferry by Simmons, record 2:28. First dam Carrie Almont
by Abdallah Mambrino 3715; second dam Margaret by (Ran-
king) American Boy, son of American Boy. Also to same
party bay mare Clytie by Byerly Abdallah (sire of Jerome
Turner, 2:15), dam by Indian Chief 832. Clytie belonged to
the estate of Noe Dills.

D; J. McCarty has tried very perseveringly to institute the
white hat as a badge by which to distinguish celebrated
turfites, but he finds it hard work to accomplish his end.
In furtherance thereof he is now making presents of the
long furred cadiea to his friends. Word reaches me from
New York that the one he sent to Secretary Mclntyre of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club fits exactly, and is highly appreciated.

Sam Bryant is authority for the statement that he has been
offered $300 to declare Proctor Knott out of the Kentucky
Derby. The story comes from a correspondent to the Live
Stock Record and sounds very fishy, as it has been a well
known fact, to the majority of horsemen, for two months
past, that Knott would not start for the Derby. Bryant has
been loading up the reporters again. It's a way of his.

Mr. Charles Kilgore of the firm of Kilgore & Disston, is at
present in California having been sent out as the agent of
Robert Steele, Esq.. of Philadelphia, to pay the money and
take possession ot Woodnut, his latest purchase. While in
this Btate Mr. Kilgore will try to Becure about a dozen choice
broodmares to take back with him. As Mr. Holly had made
up his mind to go East for the purpose of being present at
the sale of the Californian trotting horses, Woodnut returned
to his care and will be taken to Philadelphia under the
oharge of his late owner. Mr. Kilgore is understood to be in
negotiation with several owners of first class mares, and has
offered $6,000 for Manon 2:21 by Nutwood, dam Addie by
Hambletonian Chief.

George HankiuB, the owner of Terra Cotta, objects to the
weight his horse has to carry in the Suburban, and may
possibly withdraw him. If such is his intention, he should
follow the precedent of Mr. Haggin, and do it at once, for
Terra Cotta has many warm friends among the betting
public.

The following horses have been declared out of the various

Stallion Sales.

Each copy of the Beeder axd Sportsman for many weeks
past has had to announce the sale of one or more stallions to
foreign purchasers, and now we have to chronicle the depar-
ture for all time from this State of two more. Perhaps in
the first instance, many may say, well Bell Boy would not
have stood in this State aDyway, as his book had
already been made in Kentucky, but it must be taken into
consideration tnat he was bred and raised in California, and
owned, until last Thursday week, by a Californian, so we
take the credit to the State. At the great combination sale
of W. T. Woodward at Lexington, Ky., which progressed
over a period of six days, many very fine horses were offered
at public auction, among the number being Mr. Seamen's
fast son of Electioneer. A letter from our Kentucky corres-
pondent says the sale was very spirited, and when Bell Boy
was brought out from his stall the spectators broke out into
raptureous applause. There were three auctioneers who
took turns at selling the different lots as they were brought
forward, but it tell to the turn of Col. R. E. Edmonson of
Lexington, to ask for bids on the great four-year-old. Wnen
the horse was being led out a telegram was received saying
that R. Steele of Philadelphia, had bought Woodnut at pri-
vate sale for $40,000, and almost instantly with that
announcement came the news that Anteeo had been bought
by Eastern parties for $30.0000. This naturally added to
the excitement, as it was well known that several parties out
of the 3,000 present, were determined to pay a long price for
the colt. Mr. J. H. Ryder of FrankliD, Pa., commenced
operations by bidding $30,000, applause greeting the bid.
Before the noise incidental thereto had died away, Mr.|Wood-
ard, acting under the instructions from a private bidder,
raised the amount to $35,000. The crowd was now at fever
heat, and it is doubtful if any such scene was ever witnessed
in Kentucky, the home of great stock sales. Mr. Ryder, on
a look from CoL Edmonson, nodded his head, "and I am
offered $40,000," came from the auctioneer. At this point
the Hermitage Stud of Nashville, Tenn., tookahand, through
its representative Major Thompson, who bid $45,000. The
confusion attendant on the entrance of this new bidder into
the ring, is simply indescribable, especially as at this point
Mr. Ryder shook his head signifying to Edmonson that he
would go no higher. The lull in bidding was only tempo-
rary, as Mr. J. H. Clark of New York, bid S46,000, which
was promptly raised by Thompson another thousand, and
as quickly Clark said, "forty-eight," when the representa-
tive of Hermitage responded with "fifty." Mr. Clark's
answer to this raise was, "another thousand," and at this
point Thompson quit, evidently having gone his limit. Col.
Edmonson tried ell the usual tactics to have the bid raised)
but without avail, so the stallion was knocked down to the
Geuessee Valley Stud at Elmira, N. Y., for $51,000; As the
words, "and sold" came from the lips of the auctioneer, it
seemed as though pandemonium had broken loose; men were
intoxicated with exoitement, everybody wanted to shake
hands with Mr. Clark, congratulations were showered upon
Mr. Woodard, aa the promoter of the great sale, and all
present were gratified at witoessing the Bale of one of the
greatest horses in the country, and for a price that has never
been equaled in America.

Information has also been sent to us that Mr. J. W. Knox,
acting for the Sonoma County Stock Breeders Association,
has Bold the well known stallion Anteeo, to S. A. Brown &
Co. of Kalamazoo, Mich., and M . R. Brissell of Grand Rapids,
Mich., for the sum of $30,000. This is the price given in
Kentucky, but members of the Association 6tnte that the
horse is sold for $25,000, probably comimsions and expenses
making up the difference. It will be remembered that vr.
predicted several weeks ago that if An tee reached hisdet-
tion in safety, that in all liklihood he would never e>.
State again. That prophesy will now beyond vent
verified, as he will remain in Lexington this season

P. O- F. T. Derby.

Editoe Breeder akd Sportsman':— The statement in your
last issue, that some entries for the next field trials were
coming from neighboring states and territories, induces the
thought that perhaps our future trials may include dogs from
beyond the Eocky Mountains. There seems to have been less
interest taken in the last season's trials in the East than
formerly, and it may be that many owners of dogs back there
could be induced to bring them to the Coast trials, where
fair play is accorded every contestant. Gentlemen of means
could t.ring their dogs here in November or December, enjoy
a season of fine sport, and wind up by running their animals
at the Bakersfield trial. While I believe that our "home-
made" dogs would be well able to hold their own with
any that might come, still a few entries from
among the Eastern crackB would add new interest to our
trials. It is to be hoped that your estimate of the number of
entries for the next derby may be realized, and there seems
to be 110 reason why the stake money — inoluding forfeits and
paid up entrance feeB— should not reach $700 or $800.

Executive Meeting, P. K. C-

The Executive Committee of the Pacific Kennel Club met
at the office of President K. E. Wilson, on the evening of
Thursday, February 21Bt. Present, President Wilson, Mr.
William Schreiber, Mr. H. W. M. Sandbach, Mr. T.J.
O'Keeffe, Mr. Clarence Haight, Mr. J. H. Wise and H. H.
Briaes On motion, it was ordered that the Secretary of the
Club send to Mr. J. M. AdamB a check for $50. The commit-
tee on advertising reported that arrangements had been near-
ly completed to secure advertising for the premium list and
show catalogue. It had been decided to charge $10 per page
in each publication. All advertising would be done under
contract and the committee expected to make tho catalogue
pay its way. The report was adopted, and the committee
directed to proceed. ,.,....-*..

The committee on printing reported that bids for printing
the catalogues had been invited, and the moat favorable yet
received was one to print three thousand 100-page catalogues
for $488. On motion of Mr. O'Keeffe the committee was
directed to close contracts lor printing upon what were
thought the best terms obtainable.

Mr. Schreiber suggested the employment of an Assistant
Secretary, or that the Secretary be empowered to hire a man
to assist him in sending out circulars, premium lists, and
in correspondence relative to the show. He thought
Mr. WatBon was overtasked, and would be entirely unable to
meet the extra demands upon his time, as the date for the
show came near. He would also prefer to receive detailed
reportB from the Treasurer showing the receipts and expen-
ditures, in order that the Committee might be better able to
judge as to the interest felt in the club, and who were the
interested members, Mr. Haight said that he could easily
belive the Secretary to be overworked, because when elected
a member of the club he (Haight) received his first intimation
of the fact in the form of a notioe to pay the initiation fee.

Mr. O'Keefe thought it wonderful that Mr. Watson could
act as book-keeper for a great firm and in addition do the
laborious work involved in the secretaryship of the Kennel
Club.

On motion of Mr.lSchreiber it was ordered that the secretary
be authorized to employ help when needed.

Mr. Marsh, secretary of the California Poultry Association,
was present, and on invitation Baid he came to represent the
association, and was authorized to conclude some arrange-
ment with the Kennel Club. He wished to know what was
proposed. Mr. Sohreiber thought that if it could be demon-
strated beyond reasonable doubt that the addition of a poultry
exhibit would pay, it should be encouraged. Mr. J. H. Wise
said that the dogs would be the attractive feature of the
show and not the chickens. In reply to a query, Mr. Marsh
Baid that Mr. Bayley, of Oakland, had attended former meet-
ings of the Kennel Club merely as a member of the Poultry
Association, and entirely without authority to speak for the
association or to bind it in any way, but he hoped that what
Mr. Bayley had said had made a favorable impresBion and
would influence the Kennel Club to add poultry to its show.
Mr. Schreiber said he had given considerable attention to the
poultry matter with a view to learning what might be
expected, and his cooolnsion was that the ohiokens would
add from 300 to 400 dollars to the receipts.

He favored giving the poultrymen about that amount of
money, and requiring them to furnish their own judges.

Mr. Wise was sure that the announcement of a show of
poultry wonld draw a certain "fancy" to the show, and did
not objeot to the offering of a moderate sum, but he was
emphatically in favor of so ordering the show that all unnec-
essary expenditures should be avoided, and the exhibition
be made to clear itself at least. He thought the Kennel Club
might safely guarantee the payment of $300 in prizes for the
poultry. Mr. Marsh said that he thought that there would
be one hundred and fifty coops shown, of which 100 would
be owned by members of the Poultry Association and 50 by
outsiders.

The Committee then adjourned, to meet again on March
4th at Mr. Wilson's office, 419 California Street.

worker, runs honestly, and will take a lot of beating. Sev-
eral of the dogs loBt toe nails because of the hardness of the
gronnd, among them Redwood Belle, a very speedy and
brilliant little animal, in whose welfare a lovely little maiden
seemed moBt interested, whose eyes suffused as the Belle
came limping and bleeding from the course.

FIRST ROUND.

Lady— Belle of Los Gatos. — From a long slip Lady led
to a lively hare, turned it and let Belle in for two wrenohes.
When again straightened Lady let out a kink and scored a
good go-by, again plaoiDg Belle for a turn, when Lady killed
and won. Before the dogs could be caught they killed four
more hares, pumping themselves completely and spoiling
Lady's chances in the stake.;

Nemo — Faugh-a-Ballaugh — Faugh-a-Ballaugh had all the
speed to the hare and turned, without placing Nemo, the lat-
ter seeming a bit cunning. Faugh held the hare for three
wrenches in addition, and then Nemo got in for a fleck and
the kill, Faugh-a-Ballnugh winning out of hand.

Pat Malloy — Benelon II. — From slips Benelon Bhowed
the way for a hundred yards, when Pat, a very strong flyer,
went by and took the quarry for three wrenches, finally sur-
rendering to Benelon for several exceedingly neat wrenches,
closely followed up, Pat Malloy finally carrying the strong
hare to an esoape at the upper end of the park. Pat won.

Redwood Chief Jr — Irish Boy. — Chief was first to the
hare, and held puss for a lot of work before Irish Boy was
placed, but when the latter was well in command he waked
up and rolled up a rare sere and won by a little. A good
coarse on a teasing hare.

Redwood Belle — Forest — Forest showed all the dash of
his great sire, Davy Crockett, and in the ron up dre* away
from his fast competitor, also taking a wrench, and letting
Belle in for some close work and an exhibition of rare
handiness, Belle finally winning after the hare had escaped.
Juanita — Peasant Girl — Peasant Girl had all the foot of
the course, taking and leaving the hare at pleasure, Juanita
seeming a little high in flesh and not as keen as usual. The
Girl killed and won.

Bingo — Saturday Night — A lively no course was first
run, Bingo getting a bad fall and losing a nail. In the
second attempt Saturday Night had it all his own way,
and won easily after a sharp run.

Debsborough, a eye — Debsborough ran a lively bye, the
hare being killed after a half dozen wrenches.

SECOND ROUND.

Lady— Facgh-a-Ballaugh— Lady was done up by her im-
mense labors in the first course, and Fangh-a-Ballaugh won
as he pleased on a splendid bare which esoaped.

Pat Malloy — Redwood Belle — Pat Malloy and Irish
Boy would have come together in the natural order, bnt as
both were owned by Mr. Keating, the guard operated,
and the Boy was dropped in favor of Redwood Belle. The
course was long and close, although Pat Malloy held a clear
lead. The run up was his and a turn, then Belle got in for
two wrenches, when Pat killed and won.

Irish Boy — Peasant Girl. — After a hard "no course"! tbe
dogs were again slipped, Irish Boy winning after a most bril-
liant display of speed and ability.

Saturday Night — Debsborough. — The course was a short
one, and well in favor of Satnrday Night, a good hound.
Each had three wrenches, the run up and kill going to Satnr-
day night.

third round.

Faugh-a-Ballaugh — Pat Molloy.— Pat ran the hare to a
turn, letting Faugh-a-Ballaugh in for a kill, which lost the
latter the ooorse, Pat Molloy winning.

Irish Boy — Saturday Night. — Saturday Night won after a
short spurt, getting the run-up and a turn, Irish Boy then
taking the game for the kill.

final.

Pat Molloy— Saturday Night. — A brilliant course, but
much in favor of Pat Molloy, he being rested while Saturday
Night had done more running and was a bit fagged. Satur-
day Night was game, but Pat Molloy shut him out all round,
and won the course and first, second going to Saturday Night.

day: Are they vicious! We say if they are properly bred
they are not. They are endowed with great intelligence,
make strong friendships, have a noble btaring, and are of

Occidental Coursing Club.

The third ooursing meeting under the auspices of the
Occidental Club was most successfully brought off on Feb-
ruary 22d, at Newark. The history of the club is known to
readers, its personelle has often been favorably spoken of,
and it is not an over-statement to write that its last meeting
was in every essential not only the best it has ever conducted
but was absolutely as elegant and satisfactory an affair as has
ever drawn together lovers of the leash in California. The
day was cool and dry and just Buited to the sport, the dogs
being keen to go, and not being distressed after their courses.
A very large number of ladies lent highly appreciated pres-
ence and brilliancy to the meeting, many of them the wives,
beautiful daughters and nieces of members of the club.
Luncheons were carried down by severai parties, and a thor-
oughly enjoyable day passed, without any hinderance or
annoyance of any Bort. Very much credit is due to the
officers of the day, President, S. O. Gregory, Field Stewards,
S. L. Abbot, Jr., Thos. J. O'Keeffe and J. F. Carroll, and
Flag Steward, H. Boyd. They were all prompt in doing what
properly fell within their lines of duty, and found time beside
to keep everybody in good humor. Sect'y J. B. Lincoln was
omnipresent, and" with Treasurer Abbot contributed a great
deal to the pleasure of all present. The judging was well
done by Mr. J. R. Diokson and Slipper Wren was efficient as
usual. A great many old time ooursera were present, who
have for Beveral years been missed from the field. Dominiok
Kbsnnon. suave as ever, was as interested as a novice Mr.
"Keating" won the day and stake without ruffling a
single well-arranged hair. Mr. Pat Lyman shone resplendent
because he had raised and owned the runner up until
recently. Mr. Jan. E. Watson, not content with wiping up
the field trials with his blaok dog, pnt another into the
couiBing meeting and took seoond brilliantly.

The sport began promptly after reaching the park, and
there were no delays between courses. Both winner and
runner up were smallish black and white dogs. The winner,
Pat Molloy, weighs about forty-eight pounds, is an upstand-
ing, well balauced and workman-like dog, whelped iu the
fall' of 1883, by imported King John— B'anny Parnell. As to
his breeding it is given as received from hiB owner, but if
memory Berves, King John was bred in California, and if a
correction is in order none will more gladly make it than the
owner of the dog.

lor of New York, General Manager, and the following mem-
be.xs of the Board: Harvey McMnrcby of Syracuse, E. 1-.
Mills of Washington, D. C, C. E. Willard of Chicago, W.
Fred Quimby of New York, S. A. Tucker of Meriden;lConn.,
Ed. Taylor and Al. Bandle of Cincinnati. The meeting was
called to organize a shooting circuit of rive or six great tour-
naments per year, and to formulate rules to govern both live
bird shooting and that at artificial targets. The work of the

Humboldt Shooting Notes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — With much pleasure I
lake up my pen to write a few lines to you. It has been a
long time since we heard directly from each other. How-
ever, begging you to excase me on my own behalf, I will
proceed.

I presume jour mind drifts outside the limits of San
Francisco in search of your friendB and acquaintances occa-
sionally. Our friend Mi. H. Cohn. Jr., of Eureka, Secretary
of the Eureka Jockey Club of Humboldt County, called on
me on his retain from the city recently and tendered me
your compliments, and naturally the same are always appre-
ciated.

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed your share of outing,
gunning, etc. No doubt you have distinguished yourself
with the fowling piece the present season as usual. 1 hope
you have had the pleasure of a few successful trips to Sher-
man Island, the one favored spot for an occasional good
duck shoot. However the shooting here is fair, although it
does not compare with the shooting on the San Joaquin.
Humboldt Bay is quite a favored spot, and it is taken advan-
tage of and mnch appreciated by the growing element of
local sportsmen, many of them being quite expert with the
gun.

The game on this bay chiefly consists of sprig, teal, wid-
geon, canvasback, and the large and small blue bill. Those
classes are fairly represented, while the mallard and gadwall
are quite soarce. However this bay is the possessor of a
species known as the sea brant (Branta nigricans, proper), and
there is a good showing of them, yet they are the shyest
water fowl I ever met. They are the finest water fowl that I
have ever shot, considering their eating qualities, flavor,
etc., which are unsurpassed by any water fowl that can be
found on our shores, or I venture to say, anywhere.

The main objection advanced b}r our sportsmen in regard
to them is their extreme shyness. To make a good bag no
calculations can be relied upon until the hunt is over, when
the result is self evident. While writing of this bird, will
inform you of the best modes practiced to secure them. They
are shot over decoys made aud painted after their own type,
and are decoyed close to protruding points running out into
the bay, aod on small specks of land in the bay. They are
also sculled on at long range. The shooting is generally at
long range, although when they come to decoys they venture
at times very close. There is another method which proveB
quite successful.

The hunter goes to where there is a sand bar exposed at
low tide, where those fowl cluster to get sand to grind their
food, and at this chosen point make a box of suitable size,
aud with spade and shovel sink it and seourely fasten it so
as to remain. He then reaches this spot as the tide is about
to leave it, puts a set of decoys out and soon as admissible
bails out the water and sand from his sink box, lies down in
it, and awaits results. The brant soon migrate to those
places to secure their ballast.

The hunter lies quietly and figures on from one to two
flock shots, and waits for the bunch to swell to suit the
capacity of his gun, then he discharges a double shot and the
result- depends oh the range and size of the flock of fowl.

We bag all the way from 5 to 20, and there have been shots
made here in years past that reached 40 braut. I have
watched the nature and habits of those birds, and concluded
to try a little device of my own. So strong am I in my con-
clusions that it will be successful that I have taken the matter
in hand. Consequently in a couple of weeks more I hope to
be in a position to satisfy my inquisitiveness.

I am making a set of 110 brant decoys, and will make a
sink commonly called a floating battery. When completed
will move it into the favored places on the bay. Should it
work at all, think it will do well; however, will let you know
the result later.

The qnail in Humboldt are abundant, and Eureka is a fine
market, although there is not a quail hunter in the county.
There are a few favored spots here for snipe, although no
market hr-re for them. Rabbit and hare are quite common,
and grouse are to be found quite plentiful. Deer are very
numerous, and the bucks back in the mountains are as fine
in season as a sportsman ever saw.

Eureka has a good showing of sportsmen who are fond of
the gun, among them will name a few, commencing with Dr.
Lewitt, then Mr. Keleher, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Hansen, Mr.
Bahne, Mr. Kelly, Mr. McGeorge, Mr. Dodge, Mr. RuBCoe,
Mr. Strong, Mr. Heney, Ohman Bros., Sir. Carson, Mr.
Schroeder and Mr. Tommy Persons. The former gentleman,
Dr. Lewitt, is a son of Dr. "Wm. Lewitt, deceased, who at one
time honored the star club of San Francisco, the Cosmopol-
itan Gun Clnb, by belonging to it.

I formed Dr. Lewitt's acquaintance soon after arriving here,
and have met him out with the gun, and find him a very
genial gentleman, an ardent sportsman, and a good shot. He
also possesses an interest in a small steam craft christened
the Dandy, and with a small party of friends the Doctor fre-
quently steams out around the bay with guns, etc., for a few
hours outing.

Tommy Persons, last mentioned, is one of Eureka's * 'crack
brant hunters." He has had more experience in this line
than any man in town. To have him relate hiB experience is
the way to appreciate it. He is very successful. His plan
is to sink a box in the sand and await the arrival of the game.
Tommy always has a load, sometimes he secures it before start-
ing.

Will send you an account of my first venture on the bay
with my floating battery, if the thing does not go to the bot-
tom and take me with it. I shall shoot a pair of ten bores
and kill the cripples with a twelve, from the battery.

The Preserve Question Again.

On Monday evening last at the room of Police Court No.
?, a second meeting of those who oppose the desire of owners
to control the shooting on their lands was held. The pur-
pose of the meeting as announced was to complete organiza-
tion and elect permanent officers. A letter from M. J. Geary
declining the secretaryship was read. Election of officers
followed, SI. W. Stackpool being choBen president; J. L.
Durkee, Vice-President; Charles Staples, Recording Secre-
tary; F. Venker, Financial Secretary, and John Staok, Treas-
urer.

The president remarked that the committee on permanent
organization had recommended the election of four truBtees,
and asked Mr. Kennedy, of the Committee, to report. That
gentleman said that he understood tbat the matter had been
relegated to the club Mr. Dnrkee moved tbat the matter be
referred to the Committee on Constitution. Mr. Stack said
tbat the Committee on Constitution had u&ed reasonable dili-
gence, but bad not riniBhed its labors. The work of the
Committee, as far as finished, was then read by Mr Kennedy.
The preamble is as follows:

"Owing to acts of selfish individuals who have apparently
banded for the purpose of controlling all available tide-water
lands upon which to establish private game preserves, and
believing Bnch io be foreign to our country and inimical to
the interests of true sportsmanship, we, the undersigned, do
hereby agree to form an association with the object of resist-
ing further encroachments aud also attending to other matters
relating to game aud fish. Onr association purposes to attain
its object by lawful means, paying due respect to the legal

rights and property of others, and for its government we do
hereby establish and adopted the following Constitution."

The name chosen was "Sportsman's Protective Association
of California." The objects, opposition to the establishment
of preserve clubs, the enforcement of existing game laws,
etc.

A roll call was then ordered, and members requested to
pay their initiation fee of one dollar, together with the first
months dues, twenty-five cents, to the Secretary.

The following names were called: J, L. Day, R. C. Richard-
son, A. Gaskil, J. G\ Rosb, A. J. Curry, A. Northrop, Geo.

Six'y-six members appeared and paid, the receipts being
$82.50.

W. C. Percival, owner of some thousands of acres of the
SuiBun marsh had invited members to shoot on his premises
at pleasure. A similar invitation had been received from
Thos. Tunstead at Bouldin Island . Votes of thanks to both
were ordered,

A resolution from the Lincoln Gon Club was read, pro-
testing agaiLst preserves and preserve clubs, and bitterly
characterizing all who attempted to exercise control over
phooting privileges. A vote of thanks to the Lincoln Gun
Club was passed.

The meeting then adjourned to meet again in Police Court
No. 1, on the evening of March 15th.

The Gun Club-

The Gun Club, now in its thirteenth year of active life,
opened the trap season for 1889 atSau Bruuo on Washington's
Birthday, nine members being present to enjoy the perfect
day and rare sport. Three got into dooble figures, but among
those who made inferior scores were some of the best and
most reliable shots of the club. Messrs. Harry Babcock with
nine and Fred Butler with seven showed that their incessant
work on canvas backs during the winter had influenced them
to lead the pigeons too much. The tirds were good and
strong, many of them taking a deal of killing.

To summarize: The best work was done by Orr, Jellelt
and Wattles in the order named. Orr killed eleven pigeons
with one barrel, losing only his third, and that dead outside.
He only had one easy one and that his last. Jellett's clean
seore contains an equal nnmber of rights and lefts. Wattles
worked in bis usual style, .and was as busy in chaffing his
adversaries as in dropping his own birds. His last four
were all first-barrel kills.

Trap at Lathrop.

A tournament was arranged for February 22d at Lathrop,
near 8tockton, which was very successful, attracting pretty
much all the cracks, of whom Stockton rightly boasts so
great a number. There were matches, both at Jive birds and
blue rock targets, the winners being about equally divided
between the local shots and their visitors. Mr Charles J.
Haas, as usual, assimilated a large proportion of the "sack."
Mr. Charley Merrill also "fell in" for a portion, Mr. Haas
taking first money in seven matches.

PERFORMANCES.

Memo only trotted in public in Mb two-vear-old form,
obtaining a record of 2:19, though he "was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
o ad heat of which was made in 2:31 J£, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three vears old,
and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he woul't have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20J4, and frequently
trotted quarters in from 32 >a to 3 1 seconds.
DESCRIPTION.

He is nearly if not quite sixteen hands high, and of
powerfulbuild throughout. His color is a glossv black,
with both fore-feet white and a touch of white on his
off hind quarters. His disposition is all that c uld be

Great Expectations.

The Stanford Stakes, 1891-

In a letter received from W. L. Appleby, dated Feb-
ruary 7th, a postscript was overlooked, which gave the
information that "Neilson had foaled a fine chestnut
horse colt, with three white legs half way to hocks and
knees, blaze face, and crescent over one eye." "Billy"
writes further, "Great expectations are set on him, as he
is by Joe Hooker," and it is not surprising that there
should be. He has the typical markings, and with the
great speed which he should inherit from sire and dam,
he is likely to be troublesome to the best at any reason-
able distance.

The Pool Bill.

The bill for the reformation of poolselling and book-
making appears to languish in the committee rooms,
and as the session is so nearly at a close, there is small
likelihood of its becoming a law until another legislature
is convened. We feel that the Breeder and Sports-
man has done its duty, and that failure cannot be
charged to a lack of effort on our part. The lapse, if
la jbo there should be, is due to supineness on the part of
those who have the .most interest in reform, as we do
xot "take any stock" in the statements that the book-
jalters have gent "sacks" to Sacramento.

That the fraternity have feed lawyers and advanced
money for other expenses is beyond question; that they
have raised a fund to directly influence voteB is a sur-
mise, which it is long odds to wager is without founda-
tion,

wn

"We are in receipt of a letter dated the 26th inst., from
Captain N. T. Smith, in which he suggests that it will
not do to postpone the advertisement of the Stanford
Stake for 1891, any longer, and authorizes making it
public this week. This is done and we concur in the
views expressed, although we felt strong hopes that the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Association would
be gotten up in time to take it in charge. In the adver-
tisement a provision is made for transferring the stake
should an association be gotten up with headquarters in
San Francisco, the clause giving Captain Smith the
power to transfer or not was inserted in order to keep
control, so that it could not be claimed for some distant
point.

It was also necessary to give Captain Smith full
power to decide upon what cannot be expressed at this
time. There may arise a necessity to name some other
track than the Bay District or Oakland Trotting
Park, and if either or both of these were chosen now
and they were abandoned when the time fixed for trotting
came, the stake would lapse.

In order to cover all points it is also embodied in the
advertisement that if Captain Smith cannot act, through
aHsenee or other cause, a majority of the subscribers,
still eligible, can fill the vacancy.

The Stanford is the largest stake for three-year-old
colts in any part of the country, and it would be a serious
loss to the breeding interests of the State to have it fail.
Not merely to the large establishment where trotters are
bred, as the minor producers have an interest. A
nomination adds to the value of the colt engaged, and
likewise brings the family to which it belongs more
prominently before the public. While we never had
the least apprehension that the stake would not be kept
up, it is pleasant to announce the opening of the tenth
Stanfo rd.

California Trotters.

The late purchases by Eastern parties of California
trotting stallions is a notable event in the track history
of this coast.

It is a practical illustration of belief in superiority,
and as that belief is based on good grounds, the future
will witness an increased demand.

Every stallion which has been bought is a worthy
reDresentative of "native sons," and an endorsement of
the advantages of climate to perfect physical growth.

When the progeny of California- bred stallions show in
the East there will be still more forcible illustrations of
the value of the blood. Many years ago we advanced
the theory that a change of locality was beneficial in the
propagation of animals as well as in cereals and vege-
tables. This was very favorably accepted as having a
solid foundation, and could be supported with many
facts to substantiate its truth.

Even such slight changes of location as from New
York to Kentucky have resulted favorably, and there is
hardly an instance when there was a failure to excel pre-
vious efforts in stallions brought from England to Amer-
ica. Some of the most noted of American sires were con-
sidered comparative failures in England. Diomed, Leam-
ington and Phaeton are examples of the benefits- of
transfer trom England, Mambrino Chief, George Wilkes,
Dictator and others of the grand improvement attending
a change from New York to Kentucky.

When full and reliable evidence can be obtained re-
garding all the purchases which have been made here
recently we shall have a good deal to present in relation
thereto.

Choose for Yourself.

Frequently we are solicited for advice in regard to
breeding mares, and quite a number of letters are re-
ceived, asking for information about horses which are in
the stud. We decline to say positively which stallion
would be the most suitable to couple with a named
mare, as there are good reasons for so doing.

In the first place, it would be a difficult task to make
the selection from such a list as appears in this paper,
and had the requests to be complied with, a good deal
of study given to the subject. But fortunately, what-
ever selection is made cannot be far out of the way,
and like Captain McHeath, who sang, "How happy
could I be with either, were either dear charmer away,"
so many high bred and otherwise good stallions appear
that the task is not easy of accomplishment.

Many breeders have partialities for families, and few
who have not favoritism for one branch of kindred
houses. This is all very well when not so pronounced
as to obscure the judgment in relation to those which
are not fancied. That there are good ones in all the
tribes which have gained the distinction of a family
name, candid men must admit, and though "fashion"
cannot be ignored in horse breeding, there is a good

chance that that which ia not considered the top of the
mode now, may be at the head or closely up in a short
time.

Fair size, high form and beauty are always in demand,
and though extreme speed is the gem most eagerly
sought, when there is a lowering of the capacity to me-
dium speed, then the other qualities enhance the price.
That California bred horses will hold the supremacy
in other respects beside that of speed we have implicit
confidence. Believing that so perfect a climate for
physical development must bring every generation to
greater perfection, it is not far out of the way to claim
that the blood which gains distinction in less favored
climes will show brighter achievements on this coast.

''Our" Thoroughbred Stallions.

Although there is an allusion to the thorough-
bred stallions advertised in the Breeder and Sports-
man in another article, they are well worthy of separate
attention. There is a wide difference between them and
trottiDg stallions, or rather there are different conditions
under which their services are classed. By far the
largest proportion of thoroughbred mares in this State
are owned by a few men and are domiciled on the big
breeding farms, where "private stallions" are also kept.
Men with one or two thoroughbred mares have had small
opportunity of breeding to those which have gained dis-
tinction as the getter of race horses, and have- either dis-
posed of them or bred them to horses which were within
reach, irrespective of fitness. It was regarded as uphill
business to engage in stakes where such opposition as
Rancho del Paso, Santa Anita, Palo Alto and Rancho del
Bio was to be encountered, for though the mares might
be meritorious there was such an array of stallions
against them as forbade the hope of success at all com-
mensurate with the trouble and expense. This drawback
is in a great measure removed, and though there are
only six thoroughbred stallions offered for public service,
their breeding is so good that there is little risk in pre-
dicting many victories for their offspring. The best
blood of England and America, sons of Hermit and Dol-
lar, brothers to Emperor of Norfolk, and Eolus, a son of
the grand old mare Katie Pease, and the sire of Almout
and Applause.

Six thoroughbred and forty trotting bred stallions are
probably about in proportion to the breeders of each
class of horseB, though our calculation would give a still
greater preponderance cf breeders of harness horses, and
though a large number of saddle horses are employed,
they are mainly of service in mountain districts, and for
the purposes of vacqueroing. There is, too, a settled
objection to the use of thoroughbred sires as a means of
improvemement, and in the desire to obtain fast trotters
not enough attention is given to form and quality. That
a higher class of horses in both of these respects can be
obtained from the use of properly selected thoroughbred
sires on the mares of the country will not disputed by
men who have a knowledge of general horse breeding,
and who are not so bitterly opposed to thoroughbred
blood as to bias their judgment. But as a rule the pre-
judice against racing-bred horses is confined to those
who have little acquaintance with horses of a high caste,
and erroneous ideas in regard to them are prevalent.
What may be termed the general estimate is derived
from attending races, and drawing conclusions from what
is seen. By far the largest proportion of public runners
are colts and fillies, and for one that has a full mouth,
there are at least ten that rank as two and three-year-
olds. Far from being fully developed either in frame or
muscle, and with the greater part of the adipose tissue
which gives roundness of form absorbed by the training
process. From this inmature look ard with hindrances
to Bpeed eliminated, they are voted leggy, wasp-waisted,
fragile creatures, without bulk or substance enough to
be put in shafts. A visit to any of our main breeding
farms would despite this illusion, and men who are at
all competent to decide on the best form for fast harness
work, cheerfully acknowledge that amajority of them
have all the outward characteristics in an eminent
degree.

There is another false estimate derived from witness-
ing races. The impression that thoroughbreds are rattle-
headed, so nervous and intractable, that there will be no
pleasure in driving them, is formed from seeing the ex_
citement, delay and tribulation attending the start of a
majority of races.

There are so many reasons for the display of what is
improperly called "temper" that many pages would be
necessary to give them in detail, though a brief synopsi8
will be enough to show that however "level-headed"'
they may be by inheritance, they would have to be pecu-
liarly stolid to await in quietness the signal to start.
With colts which have taken part in races there u an as-
scoiatiou of punishment with the accessories of a race.
Frequently cruelty of a barbarous description, and
though a feeling of shame at the exhibition of nervous,*

ness may induce a man to march with a firm step to
accept the laceration of the knout or cat-of-nine-tails,
the babies at the starting post are not restrained by any
such prompting. Then the jockeys are all endeavoring
to get the advantage. There is a like emulation in a
portion of the field, in another division the fear of whip
and spur causes them to hang back. After several break-
aways, and in which, if steel and catgut have not Btnog,
there have been snatches at the bit to stop them, it is
not at all surprising that there should be doubts of what
is going to happen next. Then again a majority of
jockeys have not physical strength sufficient to control
the excited colts, and the faults of riders are charged
against them.

While it is bpyond contradiction, or rather while under
the present state of affairs, mares of trotting blood will
bring a greater and more certain return by being bred
to trotting stallions, there are cases where it will be ad-
vantageous to breed part-bred mares to thoroughbred
stallions.

"Our Stallions."

"We take great pride in the showing of our California
stallions. Notwithstanding the late purchases made by
Eastern breeders, a reference to our advertising columns
will convince people that there is still a galaxy of stars
shiniag, and that the future, in that way, is well pro-
vided for.

Forty trotting-bred stallions, and six of the. blue
bloods, and numbers are not the only recommendation!
It does not require a great deal of knowledge of trotting
genealogy to become impressed with the value of the
blood presented. Every family of any note in the
United States will be found represented, and so far as
our knowledge extends — and we have seen many of
them — there is superiority of form as well as of lineage.
Then they are scattered so widely that breeders can
avail themselves of contiguity, as where all are so good
tho question of commingling of strains is about all that
has to be met.

We are oftentimes solicited to name a horse which we
should prefer for a mare whioh the querist desires to
breed, and though our rule has long been not to reply
authoritatively to such requests, it would be an exceed-
ingly arduous task to give a decided preference. There
may be, of course, "points" which would determine the
choice of a sire outside of blood lines, as where a mare
was deficient in some qualifications, a horse which was
particularly good in corresponding points would be
given the preference over equally as good an animal, in
the whole, but failing to come np to the standard of the
other in the form sought. There are few, if any, stal-
lions among the number advertised in these columns,
which will be found unworthy of coupling with good
mares. And in this connection it will be proper to state
that none are good enough for mares which can be
classed as inferior. If it is determined to put poor
mares into the breeding paddocks, "cheap horses" are
the right sort to employ, as in that case it is not likely
that future expenses will be so heavy. With a fairly
good mare — that is, one which has an average form and
breeding — and there is not a stallion in the list which
will not give reasonable anticipations of "getting tbe
worth of the money"— not merely a return of the fee
for tbe service of the horse, but also recompense for
rearing and training.

We have heard expressions of regret over and over
again at the loss to California of the stallions which
have been sold to go East. In one respest it is a loss;
in others a gain. Had there been a lack of material to
fill the vacant places, the loss would have been serious
and beyond compensation. With the reserve so strong,
the advantages which stimulation will develop will make
amends. With prices running from fifteen thousand
dollars to twice that amount, the breeding of high class
trotters will be increased, and more care taken that rear-
ing, breaking and educating shall be done in the best
manner.

That there is an opportunity for those who have to
depend on "public stallions" to obtain "winning strains"
a perusal of the advertisements will afford abundant
proof. T'lat the essentials for success are within their
reach is so palpable that comments are unnecessary,
though it is not a wast*; of time to urge tBat the advan-
tages which soil and climate present are made the most
of.

The starting point is on the down grade, or, with the
list of advertised stallions to choose from, it may be com-
pared to a scheme which was brought to the upper
country by a famous Arkansas Short Horse man. In
making matches be stipulated that he should be per-
mitted to start his horses from a "shoot." claiming that
they were so troublesome to get off, that course was the
only one. The shoot was an incline formed of planks,
and the horses had the benefit of starting down the
grade, almost equivalent to the springboard of the

leaper, and in a short race gain the victory. There are
plenty of good mares in California to breed to these stal-
liens, fashionably bred in many cases, and what is sure
to become in vogue (if the proper course is pursued) old-
time strains that we regard as good as the best. There
were a great number of good horses brought here in the
early days. In the turmoil and rush of gold seeking
these were neglected, and so recently as our coming to
California the blood of the oldtimers was not properly
appreciated.

Not yet as it should be. The racing strains of thirty
years ago, the mixture of them and some of the old
importations of trotterB should not be overlooked; and if
even a pedigree ends in unknown, when there are a few
top- crosses of the right blood there will be well founded
expectations of breeding fast trotters.

Whoever has a mare of good shape and with blood
such as prevails on this coast, can certainly select a suit-
able stallion from among the list, and so far as we are
acquainted the claims made in the advertisements are
based on a good foundation.

The American Stud Book-

The fifth volume of the American Stud Boook has been
received, though so recently as to preclude such a notice
as its merits warrant in the paper of this week. We
append Colonel Bruce's letter to breeders, trusting that
there will be a more liberal response than has heretofore
been given. Even should everyone who is directly in-
terested in breeding thoroughbreds, (subscribe for-the set,
the remuneration v. ill not be commensurate with the
labor, but when only a small per cent, of the breeders of
the country purchase a volume, it is surprising that the
work should have been continued after issuing the first
and second volumes. Although we were of the opinion
that no registry fee should be charged, under the facta
now shown, this has been a mistake, and had the fee for
registry in the Trotting Stud Book been levied, the
expense in part would have been met, and also more
demand for the book.

f Office of

BANDEBS D. BRUCE,

-J Editor Turf, Field aad Farm,
American Stud Book,

[ No. 215 Broadway,

New Tosk, Feb. 15, 1889.
Dear Sir — The fifth volume of the American Stud Book is
out and ready for delivery. Those who have stock entered
in this volume are expected at least to purchase a copy of the
work. The price is $10 in cloth; $11 half calf; very handsome
library style; $45 for the five volumes complete to the end of
the year 1888 in cloth; $49 half calf. I have published at
my personal expense after years of patient labor five vol-
umes of the stud hook. Few of the breeders have contri-
buted towards its publication, whilst the sales have not paid
the outlay, to aay nothing of the time and labor incident to
the work, which is acknowledged to be of vast benefit to the
breeding and racing interests of this country. The Trotting
"Register, Herd Book and all similar publications, charge and
are paid a good fee for registration, and such is the custom
in England, France and other countries. I therefore ask
that the breeders contribute something towards the publica-
tion of the work, not in charity, bat in justice to one who
has labored through the best years of his life to advance
their interest. Very truly S. D. Bruce.

Waxy's Pedigree.

While we never doubted the authenticity of the pedi-
gree of Waxy, as given from the time she was brought
acrosB the plains, there were some doubts of establishing
it so as to meet the exacting conditions which some insist
upon, and therefore we are greatly pleased to receive the
appended letter from Mr. Gould. Tom Merry was
aware that she was bred by Philip Swigert, of Frank-
fort, Kentucky, and had he known before going to Aus-
tralia that there was any doubt regarding her breeding,
could have given information which would have materi-
ally lessened the labor of Mr. Gould, He had to pick
up clews here and there, and stuck to tbe pursuit until
the chain was complete.

Further than to gratify the desire to have the pedigree
of the grandam of Sunol placed beyond cavil or quibble
there was little importance attached to the "clearing
up." That Waxy was thoroughbred her daughter
Alpha demonstrated, and that was sufficient* to prove, in
her case, that the capacity to race was not "pernicious."'
There is an interesting feature in the evidence, that being
the proof that Waxy and Annette were sisters. One
with a son having a record of 2:20, the other a grand-
daughter which registers 2:18 when two years old, is
proof that the female side of these performers had a good
deal to do in furnishing the inheritance.of excellence.
Boston, February 16, 1889.
Jos. Cairn Simpson.

My Dear Sir: The labors attending the tracing of the
history and breeding of Waxy are complete. Agreeable to
yonr request I herewith give you the results, which are sub-
stantially proven. Waxy, light chestnnt or sorrel mare, by
Lexington. Bred by Philip Swigert, Frankfort, Ky. Foaled
1863. First dam Grey Eagle mare by Grey Eagle, dam of
Annette; second dam Mary Morris by Medoc; third dam MisB
Obstinate by Sompter; fourth dam Jenny Slamerkiu by
Tiger; fifth dam Paragon by imp. Buzzard, etc.

My work has been accomplished at an outlay of about six
weeks of time, and thousands of miles of travel. The full
and complete history of Waxy with statements, etc , to prove
the above, will appear in the March number of "Wallace's
Monthly." \ezj truly yourB, Levi S. Gouu),

Unintentional Trespass.
The trespass on Mr. P. J. Shaffer's field was far from
being intentional, and the name of Antevenio was chosen
without thinking of encroachment, and in order that
while vacating our friends' preserves, another's may not
be invaded. Chosing a name for the daughter of Ante-
volo and Baby will be postponed until there is tina e for
fuller examination.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I find an item in one
of our sportsman papers here, saying that "Tbe Grey Geld-
ing J. D. W.," that has been trotting in your State, is
"Monte Christo, son of Malta by Swigert." Can you give
me an account of his performances? Monte Christo was
bred in our town. Yours truly, F. J. Avers.

Answer — As far as we can learn J. JD. W. did not trot in
this State last year, and do not know that he is owned by
California parties, although we have seen that assertion
made in Beveral Eastern journals. A grey gelding with the

initials J. D. W. , D. K. W. and D. D. W. was entered

and trotted through Colorado, Montana and other North-
western States and Territories last year, getting a record at
Helena, Mont., of 2:31} on August 31st. If you know any-
thing about this horse aud bis real record please inform us.

Please give me the pedigree of 4. W. Richmond; also the
mare Bridget, formerly owned by JoBiah Sessions, of Oikland ?

Answer. — A. W. Richmont, gr h, foaled in 18G2, by Black-

be a spotted horse called Spotted Banger. Brought to Cali-
fornia in 1874.

Bridget, so Mr. Josiah Sessions informs us, was by Ken-
tucky Hunter, dam, a mare 6aid to he thoroughbred, owned
by M. O'Brien. This mare was called Lady LexiugtoD, and
aman by the name of Sofley sold her to O'Brien. She could
trot in about 2:50.

barren mare breed?

Answer. — Afternoon 6543, b h, foaled 1884, by Almont
McGregor 1775, dam Minnie by Gen. Hatch 139; second dam
Lucy by Prophet (Weed's), son of Prophet. He was bred by
Mr. A. B. Rodman, who now resides in Lake County, Cal.
(2) We do not know his address; you may possibly learn it
from the manager of the Valensin Stock Farm, Pleasanton.

L. M. Lasley.

Is stringhalt in horses hereditary, and is it so considered
by veterinary surgeons?

Answer.— "Authorities consider hereditary predisposition is
perhaps the chief cause of "stringhalt," though mal-hjgerio
conditions, malformations of the limb — Buch as a ringbone
or a bonelspavm pressing on a nerve— may cause it. Over-
work, and exhaustion may also act as exciting causes. Some
again consider it due to diseased condition of tbe blood,
probably associated with rheumatism. — Tnos. Bowhill, M.

Alexander's Record. »:3t 1-4:

DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; stands 16-&Sf hands high; weighs
1,200 pounds, and Is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of 2:28^, and when
four vears old, in hiB first race, he obtained a record
of 2:26K- Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been drive a last half in 1:0 .
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
through the speed-lineB of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to his offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosle flic, as a five-year-old. rarely ever breaks; has
a record of 2:20 3£. R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2 :16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 18 to 2:20. Considering
that Alexander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, he is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State. „„„

How To

KXOW the AGE

Of A

HORSE.

Mr. Blunde vil says, Some seek to Know a Horses Age in
this Sort: They Pail his Skin with their Hand from his
Flesh, holding it so a Pretty while together, and then let it
Go Again, Marking whether the Skin Returneth immediately
to his Place, or not, without leaving any Signe or Wrinokle
where it was Touch t: And then they Jndge the Horse to be
Yonng. Bat if the Skin will not Fall down quickly again of
its own accord, they take him to be Old, and to lack that
Natural Heat, and Warm Blood, which should Nunrisb his
Outward Parts. TheBe are the very Words of Mr. Blondevil.

Let us see the Probability of it, and the Certainty of the
Bale, in a HorBe whose Mark is Out of his Mouth; for many
Horses that ate many Years Older, if they be Healthful, and
Sound, and in good Case, "Wanton, and full of Blood, their
Skin will Return to the same Place again Presently, when a
Younger Horse by many Yearp, that is Sickly, Lean, and
Faint, his Skin will not Return so boou; and then your Old
Observation Deceives you, and is a great Folly. And when
he will Know a Horses Ase by his Tayl, he begios at the
Wrong end; which is most Ridiculous.

Mr. Blundevil sayes alio. That when a Horse Waxeth Old,
his Temples will was Hollow, and the Hair of his Browes
Hore and White, &c. This is for the Most pirt Bome-
what Probable. But yet I have Known a young Fellow
of Seventeen all Gray; Why may it not be so in Horses?
Nay, I have Known some so. Bnt though I Grant, That
Gray Hairs shewea Age, for the most part; yet. I believe, you
do not know How Old a Hor-*e is for all that Observation,
but only in general, That he is Old.

So that there is no Sure way io Know tiis Age, but by his
Teeth; and that is a certain Rule, but Lasts no longer than
Seven years Old. Captain Mazine sayes, That a HorBes
Years may be Known until he is Fourteen, by his Upper
Teeth; bat, because it doth not Hold in all Horses, I forbear

to Write it. There is some Difference between Horses and
Mares, to Know their Age.

For any Man that would have a Horse of Use in his ordi-
nary Occasions; as for Journeys, Hawking, or Hunting; I
would never Buy a Horse until the Mark be Oat of his
Month; acd if he be Sound of Wind, Limb, and Sight, he
will last you Eight or Nine Years with good Keeping, and
never Fail you; when a Young Horse will have many Dis-
eases, as Children have, and you must leave him with your
HoBt at Harborow, or Northampton, or some Inne, and Hire
another Horse for your Occasion, and have your Host's Bill,
and the Farriers, which will come to more than your Horse
is "Worth; and there's your Young Horse; but your Old
Horse shall never Fail yon. I am always ready to Buy for
such Purposes, an Old Nagg of 6ome Hunts-Man, or Fal-
coner, that is Sound, and that's the Useful Nagg; for he
Gallops on all Grounds, Leaps over Ditches, and HedgeB;
and this will not Fail you in your Journey, nor any where;
and is th9 only Nagg of Use, for Pleasure, or Journey, but
not for a Souldier Horse, nor the Mannage: For every Horse
must be Appropriated in his Kind, and put to what he is
Fittest.

What
EQUIPAGE

is

PROPER for the HORSE,

And Most

COMMODIOUS for the HORSE-MAN

Afore the Horse is MOUNTED.

For the Saddle, Bitt, Cavezone, Stirrups, and Spurrs, in
my first Book of Horse-manship you shall see the Figures of
all These, most Lively Represented.

For the Girthes, I must Advise you to have one Girth as
Broad as two, only at each End separated, as if they were
Two, though it is but one Girth; and an Italian Snroingle
over them; which is so excellent a thing, that if the Girths,
nr Straps, should Break, yet the Surcingle will not fail to
Hold.

Huu must fit your Horse with a Bitt proper for him; that
is, a Cannon, or a Scatch, A la Pignatel, and Branches A la
Conestable; and the same Bitt I alwayes Ride my Horse with
I give him at first; for they are Ridiculous with their Pistol
Cannons, and not to fit a Horse for two Year?, and then to
Bitt him up. But I will alwayes Bitt and tit my Horse at the
first, with what he Nhould alwayes "Wear, or such Another
when that's Broke, or is worn in Pieces.

Your Horse should be Girt as Hard as you can; for the
Italian sayes, He that Girds well, RideB well. But a Groom
may Gird weli, and yet not Ride well. But they Mean, No
Man can Ride well, that doth not Gird well: For, how can
he Ride well when the Saddle turns Roand? Horses of Man-
nage force the GirthB much with Violent Ayres, which an
Ambling Horse doth not. But I must Tell you, That you
should never Gird your Horse up Hard and Straight, but
just before you Ride him; for, beiDg Hard Grit in the Stable
Long before you Ride him, I have Known them grow very
Sick. Why do ihey not so when they are Ridd, say you?
I'll tell you why; Because the Violence of the Exercise makes
them put Out their Bodies, and so Stretches the Girthes,
and makes them Easier.

But I will Tell you a great Truth in Horses that are used
to be Girt Hard: When the Groom comes to Gird them up,
the Horses will so Stretch their BodieB and Bellies Out, with
holding their Breath, that the Grooms have much ado to
Gird them: And this is Craftily done of them, that they may
have Ease after they are Girded, and then they let their
Bodies Fall again. And yet, says the Learned, Like to the
Horse that hath no Understanding.

Another thing I am to Advertise you of; and that is, To
make the Nose-Band as Straight bs possible you can; because
it Hinders him, as tbey say, to make Sheeres with his Mouth,
or to Gape to Disorder the Working of the Bitt, or to Bite at
the Rodd when you help him, or to Bite at your Feet. But
the Nose-Band, being very Straight, makes the Bitt lie in bis
due Place, and Works orderly, as it Ought, both upon the
Barrs, and the Curb, and firms and settles his Head: And I
assure you, there is nothing Better than this, for many
things; and therefore I would have also the Cavezone as
straight as you could, for many Reasons; and Remember
that your Cavezone be never Sharp, but always Lined with
double Leather at the least, for fear of Hurting him: Though
the Old saying, is, A Bloody Nose makes a good Month ; I
would neither Hurt his Mouth, nor his Nose, nor anything
else about him, if I could help it; and then I am sure he will
have a Better Mouth, when his Nose is not Hurt.

Sakers, Doekes, or Trouse Ques, (which is all one) is a
great Grace for a Leaping-Horse; for it makes him appear

Plumper, and more Together, Racoursi, and makes him
appear to go Higher too; therefore I would use Sakers for all
Kinds of Leaping-Horses, whether for Croupadoes, Balota-
does, or Caprioles; but then the Horses Tayles must be Tied
short Up, upon the Saker.

For Horses that go the Mannage de Soldat, Teira a Terra,
in Coivets, or Demy-Ayres, there is nothing Handsomer,
than to see a Horse with a Good Tayl Down, without any-
thing; no Quinsel, or any-thing, but Naturally; and to see
him Lay his Tayl on the Ground, is Graceful, and shewes
that he Goes upon the Hanches; which is the Perfection of
the Mannage.

To Beautifie their Manes before great Princes, or Persons
of Quality, there is nothing more Graceful, than to Tye th6ir
Manes with several Coloured Ribbons, or all of one Colour,
in many several Wayes; either PleatiDg their Manes, or let-
ting them be Loose.

I never saw any Horse Go so well with Rich Saddles, as
with Plain Leather Saddles, and Black Bridles: The Leather
Saddles should be plain White Spanish Leather, stitcht with
Silk; with Silver Nayles, and a good Black Leather Slap-
Cover over it, and the Bridle Soft black Leather, and Small;
by no means too Great: Two Girthes in One, to part at both
Ends, like Two Girths; and a tood Italian Surcingle, which
is worth both the Girthes for sure Holding.

You must be very Careful, to see that nothing that is about
the Horse should Hurt him; as his Saddle, Bitt, Cavezone,
or any thing else: For, I assure yon, as long as any thing
Hurts him, he will never go Well.

No Horse goes Weil in a Wind, il doth so Whisk about
him, and in his Ears, and makes such a Noise, as it Diverts
him from the Mannage; and so doth any new Help, or any
new Thing that they are not Accustomed to: Horses are
very Sensible, and Tickle; and no Strangers must come near
them.

There is one Thing that is the most Uucomly; and the Dis-
gracefulleet thing a Horse can do; and that is. To Whisk his
Tajlin all the Actions that he makes. The common Remedy
they Use, is, To Tie his Tayl with a Quinsel; which doth
Remedy that Vice, as long as it Holds: But the Best thing
in the World, is, To Cut Cross the great Nerve that is under
his Tayl, and then he Bhall never Whisk or Shake it again;
and it will do him no Hurt in the World, more than when it
is Cut. There is no Remedy like unto this.

A Very True
PARADOX.

I Will never Put my Horses of Mannage to Soyl after they
are Five Years old. I had a Barb that had a Cold, and I was
Perswaded to Put him to Soyl; but when I took him from it,
he waB Broken-Winded. Though I never Put them, but Six
or Seven dajes, to Soyl, yet I ever found them the Worst for
it, both for Colds, and their Flesh being Flabby. Doth not
every Body say, when you Take a Horse from Grass, That
you "take him Up with a Grass-Cold? And it is very True.
Then these Horses of Mannage, which are extreamly Heated,
and often must, of Necessity, Melt their Grease. It you give
them Grass to Cool them, and Purge them (as they say) to
bring it away, it being Hardened like Tallow, Grass is too
Gentle to do it Effectually: But I Confess it Dissolves some
small part of it; which it doth not Bring away; and that
which is Dissolved, runs into their Veins, and Arteries, and
makes them remain Sick Horses, bo that they will never
Thrive. Therefore, at the time of Soyl, let (hem Blood once
or twice, and give them Pills of Alloes Sicatrina t*o Ounces,
lapped up in Fresh Butter; and after that, give them Cooling
Julips twice or thrice a Week, for a Fortnight, or Three
weeks together; and let them Rest, or but Walk gently out,
and no Grass at all: During the great Heals, ride Moder-
ately, by no means Violently.

Horses of great ExeroiBe must have Dry Feeding; for Moist
Feeding spoyls them, and tills tbeni full of Diseases and Cor-
ruption; therefore never give them Grass, aud but very little
Hay. The Method thus: Before their Water, give them but
a Handful of Hay, only to make them Drink; and after their
Water, another Handful of Hay, to be a Barricado between
their Water, and their Oats, that they should not Shoot their
Oats too soon; and then give them their Oats; and all the
rest of the Day, and Night, nothing but Wheat Straw. Aa
the Italian sayes, a Horse that is Fed with Hay, is a Horse
for a Cart, he ib so Foggy and Pursey; but they say, Cavallo
de Palia, Cavallo de Batalla; and thus his Flesh will be as
Hard as a Board, in great Lust, Wind, and Strength, and as
Nervous as possible can be, and in great Health.

Excellent Clean Oats is the Best Feeding in the World:
sometimes you may give a few Pease, or Hul'd Bean?, which
is very Good; but never any Bread, for that make1* *
Pursey, as we know very well by Running Horses.

Oakland Trotting Park.

Taking advantage of a bright, beautiful morning, a repre-
sentative of the Breeder and Sportsman determined to see
the Oakland track, which had been reputed as far superior to
the Bay District one. On arriving there it took but one
glance to satisfy the writer that the Oakland Park was very
far ahead of the San Francisco one, in fact last Saturday it
was fit to race over, without any further preparation. And
what a sight meets the eye as one enters the grounds; it 1b
not necessary that we should be told that the first horse
passing the stand is an Anteeo; yes, and there goes a Direc-
tor, see how gracefully he moves, black as the ace of spades,
his jet coat Bhining brightly as the sun's rays strikes him.
There goes Memo and Balkan both on a gentle jog, the
drivers very careful of their precious charges, while Sam
Gamble, stouter and more loquacious than ever, is urging on
his new purchase, Bex, at a clinking gait. Under the direc-
tion of Mr. H. T. Hinchman, the manager, we were shown
all through the stables, and a 6ner assortment of blood lines
would be hard to find anywhere.

First and foremost on the list we find the grand old thor-
oughbred stallion Three Cheers. Although he is the sire of
many foals, only three of his get have ever been trained, and
each proved a stake winner. That of itBelf speaks volumns
for the great producing power of this best son of imp. Hurrah,
If he had received the opportunities given other first-class
stallions, to-day he would rank the peer of any thoroughbred
stallion in America. Several of his get are entered in the
great events of "90" and "91," and it may be taken as
assured that they will make a name for Three Cheers second
to none. Mr. Dustin had gone to the city, but the man in
charge showed ub Jimmie's striDg, and a right royal lot they
are.

It seems rather strange, but nevertheless true, that many
of the men in charge of the horses knew absolutely nothing
about them. This does not apply 6olely to the Dustin stable,
but was the rule rather than the exception. A beautiful
dark brown, 4-years-old, by Mambrino Wilkes, was the first
shown. He is about 15,3 hands in height, and has shown a
trial in 2:29^. This speedy colt is owned by Captain Mat-
thews, and we are told that he is expected to make a low
mark lor himself this year. In the next, stall was a light bay
colt, three years old, the property of Mr. Ariel Lathrop.
This colt has been given a half mile trial in 1:14, and a
severe-quarter in 324 seconds. He is by Electioneer, dam
by Don Victor, thoroughbred.

A really grand looking filly was next paraded, although
only three this spring, she has the form and substance of an
aged horse. She is by Director, dam Bessie, and is owned by
Allen Matthew, quiet and gentleas a lamb, still the youngster
can make the best of them show a lively half to beat her.
Mr. Dustin owns several himself, which show up very well
among them being a two-year-old by Electioneer, a two-year-
old by Nephew, and a yearling by Dexter Prince, full brother
to the one Bold to Mr. James Golden of Boston. Gus Wilkes
was moved around the track and there is no reason why he
Bhould not cut down his present record of 2:22. Among the
number which drew forth favorable comment, was a full
brother to Yolo Maid, owned by Mr. Creighton; this ideal
pacer 1b six years old and is called Buttonhole to perpetuate
the family name. He is a horse of great promise, and bar
accident should give a good account of himBelf.

Mr. Allen also has in Mr. Dastin's care a seven-year-old
mare by Keliance, which will shortly be placed in training;
a very pretty dark brown, said to be twelve years old, com-
pletes Mr. Dustin's stable, from where we go to take a look
at Richard Havey's Bonanza. This highly bred trotting
stallion, by Arthurton, dam, the dam of Albert W., 2:20, by
John NelBon, is as pure gaited as any on the track, and
althoagh his record is only 2:29 at present, Dick says he will
chop a whole lot of that before winter sets in. The fast pac-
ing sorrel, Haverly, was being given a constitutional in front
of the sheds, accompanied by Jesse D. Carre* five-year-old
trotter Merchant, who is a full brother to Lady Helen rec-
ord 2:29J. The next stable should very aptly be called the
Hall of Records, for in it is Noonday, with blood relationship
to Maud S., 2:085; Jay-Eye-See, 2:10; Favonia, 2:15; Nut-
wood, 2:18}; Wedgewood (his sire), 2:19, and his dam Noon-
tide, 2:20i, along with any quantity of others well within the
2:30 list.

Mr. Gamble had the groom lead out this splendid animal
and if there was ever a typical horse, Noonday is the one.
In conformation he in perfect, evenly balanced, and so hand-
some that one seems never to tire of looking at him. In
color he is a dark seal brown with right hindfoot white and a
email star; in height he is about 15. U, and weighs in the
neighborhood of a thousand pounds. He has no reoord, but
when the season finishes Mr. Gamble will train him for one
and it is, to use a vulgarism, dollars to doughnuts that he
beats his sire's mark. We found Mr. A. L. Hinds hard at
work exercising his own horses and also those belonging to
Mr. Irvin Ayres. Mr. Hinds has a splendid specimen of the
Brigadier stock in Cricket, a six-year-old, dam a Signal mare,
' ho is showing excellent trotting qualities. In the adjoining
Htall stands Eolian, a full brother to Gns Wilkes, 2:22, who,
although he has never shown better than a 2:40 gait, can
place himself within the charmed circle wnen necessity
eqnires. Balkan looked as handsome as ever, and has grown
.a height since last season, besides rilling out considerably.
As is well known, this speedy colt, 2:291, is by Mambrino
Wilkes, dam Fanny Fern by Jack Hawkins, son of Boston.
If it b d not been for sickness, he would without doubt have

I made a much lower record than he did. In the next stall
| was another youngster, by Mambrino Wilkes, dam by Peta-
| luma McClellan. We were next shown a dark bay called
Clara P., by Mambrino Wilkes, dam by Oorsican, he by imp.
Corsican. This mare is six years old, and is owned by Frank
Poor. We now come to "Johnny Go-Long," by Plumas, a
fine large bay horse, who has the knack of falling off in flesh
every now and again. Mr. Hinds assured us that in Beven
days Johnny fell off seventy pounds, and in four successive
weeks lost altogether one hundred and thirty-five pounds.

On leaving the Ayres Stable to go and look at tthers, we
saw Captain Hackett driving a tine looking Anteeo colt, which
gives promise of faBt time, the Captain handling him with
the skill of an old veteran. Mr. Marcuse led out two very
fine stallions for inspection, the first being Jib, by Gibralter,
dam Kate Gennette, she being a daughter of Belmont and a
Black Hawk mare. He is a fine Mahogany bay, 15| hands,
and weighs about 1200 pounds. This horse received the
second prize at the Oakland Fair in 1886, as best horse of all
work. His stable companion is T. O. a son of Anteeo, dam
the same as Jib. He is a dark bay, five years olds,
15$ hands, and weighs considerably over 1000 pounds. At
the same fair alluded to above, he received the first prize as
horse of all work. They are splendid samples of the young
stallions now growing up in this State, and are a credit,
alike to owner and groom, for they appear to be in the very
pink of condition.

A hasty call on John Rowen showed that worthy buBily
employed on the horses under his charge. On telling him
that we would like to take a look at his stable, John led out
first that grand son of Sidney, Memo, the property of Mr.
James Kerr of San Francisco. He stands fully sixteen hands
high, of powerful build, and is simply perfection in looks.
A glossy black, relieved by both forefeet white, he is as near
a picture as the eye conld desire. In disposition he is kind
and gentle, his action superb, and to add to his many other
qualifications he can trot low down, his trial of 2:20i as a
three-year-old, stamping him as Sidney's most illustrious
son, A very handsome bay, four years old, called Sid
Julien, was next inspected; he is owned by Mr. Charles
Willoughby, and Mr. Rowen is training him for a tour of
the circuit this summer. With pardonable pride Mr. Rowen
next led out his own horse, St. Nioholas, another favorite
son of Sidney, who is thought very highly of by good jodges,
and is well worthy of the attention paid him. He is a bright
bay, 15| hands in height, with plenty of length, and his
muscular development grand. He is a young horse, being
only four years old, and promises a name for himself second
to none. Our attention was next called to a four-year-old
filly named Gerster, owned by Mr. D. Stoddard of Oakland.
She iB a pacer and shows a wonderful turn of speed.
Gerster is by Washington, dam by Whipple's Hambletonian.
Mr. Charles Thornquest took the blankets off his little
pet, Cnpid, a full brother to Adonis, who looks a much
better hor=e than his relation did when he made the
remarkable time of 2:144;. He is equally well gaited,
has his distinguished brother, and may prove a faster horse.
Mr. Thornquest also has in his stable a nice appearing bay
filly by Linwood, he by Nutwood, dam by Bull Pop. Dr.
Pardee, of Oakland, 1b the owner of this fine filly, and rates
her very highly. Matt Storn has an eye tor a gocd trotter, as
well as being an excellent judge of thoroughbreds, and has
one in Mr. Rowen 's hands to train, which should prove a
gem of the first water. He is by Le Grande, dam Sunny
Slope Belle, she by The Moor, and out of a thoroughbred
mare. Although but twenty-two months old, he shows fine
speed for a youngster, and although Matt has been offered
§2,000 for the colt, he refuses to sell at that figure. He is a
handsome black, with three white feet and a white stripe
down the face. In Mr. James McGuire's stable is to be
found the bay filly Appoline by Sidney, dam Lizzie by John
Netherland. Lizzie was the dam of Little Brown Jug, 2:11$,
and Brown Hal, who has a performance of 2:13 to his credit.
Coming from such a producer and by such a sire, Appoline
should be able to hold her own with the fastest of the young
trotters, for Bhe shows no inclination to pace. She is entered
in the Occident Stakes, and will prove a formidable opponent
to the other starters. Another two-year-old, in the same
stable, is Pink, by Christmas, dam Lottie by Lexington, who
iB owned by William White, of Oakland. In the next stall
are shown Mikado, a bay who looks every inch a trotter, and
does not belie his appearance, for he can go a 2:24 gait with-
out distress. He is by Marin, dam by California Patchen.
Mr. Cade, of Oakland, also haB in the same stable the bay
colt Cade, four years old, by Munroe Chief, dam by Thad
Stevens. He has not received much work as yet, but can go
his mile in 2:40 readily. Mr. McGuire has a young sorrel
colt by Steinway which he has only broken to harness, but
like all the Steinways, he seems to revel in the sport, and
may possibly develop Into a first-class winner.

la Mr. Palmer's stable there are several fine individuals, a
grey stallion, tour years old, by Director, being especially
noticeable; his dam is by May Boy. A bay gelding, by
Anteeo, dam by May Boy, is five years old, and has only
been leisurely jogged, his best mile so far being 2:45, that,
however, beiDg no measure of his speed. A fine appearing
grey filly is Bess, by Director, dam by Paddy McGee. who
Mr. Palmer is preparing for earnest work, and she shows
every indication of being able to reach within the 2:30 list.
The next and last of Mr. Palmers string is a gray oolt, by
Antevolo, dam by Paddy McGee, a nicely gaited animal, and
full of promise.

It would hardly do to visit the Oakland Trotting Park with-
out calling on that old knight of the whip, Dennis Gannon.

so a call was made at his private stable, and luckily Mr.
Gannon was found at home.

One of the grooms was detailed to bring out the
various horses, the first shown being a three-year-old,
Direotor Colt, jet black with white star. His first dam is by
Nutwood, second dam by Alexander's Abdallah, third dam by
Grey Eagle. Mr. J. Requa is the fortunate owner of this
colt and also of a two-year-old, by Antevolo, dam by Nut-
wood. This latter is a magnificent horse, with the finest set
of legs to be seen in many a day's walk. He is exceedingly
well proportioned, a handsome individual, and should not
disappoint his owner in the way of speed. Mr. J. B. Cole
also has a neat, well-turned horse, in J. B. C, by Antevolo-
he is two years old, a deep, rich brown, and has the trotting
instincts to a great extent. A splendid looking two-year-old
by Anterop, was then brought out and exhibited as an inbred
filly, and inbred she is with a vengence. Her dam is by
Ned Cahill, he by Arthurton, out of Mary Kelly; while the
filly's dam is out of Mary Kelly by Ned Cahill. She is very
shapely and pleasing to the eye, good disposition and gentle
as a lamb. She is owned by Mr. Fortine of Oakland.

Mr. Martin Beale, also has a colt in Mr. Gannon's stable;
he is a beautiful brown, five years old, by Dan Voohrees,
dam Black Swan. Last but by no means least, a critical ex-
amination was made of the Electioneer stallion, Grover Clay.
His is a type of beauty found in all the get of the great Palo
Alto sire, and is without doubt as fine a colt as ever left that
celebrated farm. He is a handsome bay, 15.3 hands high, six
years old, and shows that quality which is characteristic of
all of Electioneers colts. He has much the appearance of
the thoroughbred, but has superb trotting action, and not-
withstanding he has had but little work, can show better than
a "30" gait at any time. His first dam is Maggie Norfolk, by
Norfolk; second dam by Billy Cheatham; third dam by Dor-
sey's Golddust. Bidding Mr. Gannon good bye for the pres-
ent, we hurried back to the trace: where Mrs. Hinchman had
a magnificent dinner arranged for the hungry scribes, to
which it 1b needless to say, ample justice was done. A
pleasant day had been spent, acquaintances formed, and
notes enough taken down to warrant the writiDg of the above.

A Time Test-

Secretary Lawrence of the Coney Island Jockey Club is
continually proposing some new feature in racing. When he
first suggested the Futurity, the racing men and breeders
laughed at the idea, and could not comprehend the great
scheme which Mr. Lawrence had elaborated so fully on
paper, still when almost 40,000 persons attended the first
Futurity Stake day, and the winner received over $40,000,
then it was realized that the idea was a grand one, and that
Lawrence was a genius. The Realization Stakes under his
fostering care, although another innovation, has already
shown entries enough to warrant its being called "the three-
year-old event of the year." But now another stake has
been started, under the same able auspicies, which hardly
looks on the face of it as equitable as those which have
eminated from Mr. Lawrence's'fertile imagination previouslv.
It is called The Time Test Stakes and is so peculiar that we
give the idea in full, premising that entries close April 1st.
The conditions make it a Bweepstakes of S50 eaoh, half
forfeit, for horses entered by April 1st, or $100 each, half
forfeit, for such as may be entered the day before the race.
Here is the novel feature: If a horae has run the distance,
three-quarters of a mile, any time in his career in 1:15, he is
to carry 5 pounds extra over weight for age; but if he has no
record of 1:17 or better, he is to be allowed ten pounds. The
association to add $1,250, of which $250 goes to the second
horse, and $100 to the third horse. Declarations from the
stake may be made on May 15th at $10 each for the original
entries. Horsemen as a usual thing are very skittish about
innovations of any sort, and it is hard to tell how they will
take this Time Test. As it is an all aged event, we may fully
expect to see Sorrento, Los Angeles, The Bard, Firenzi,
Kingston, The Faverdale Colt, and lota of the two-year-olds
scrambling for the money when the bugle sounds "to the
post." It strikes the writer that there should have been a
clause inserted that where the aged horses had no record
under 1:17, and still had fast time for a mile or over, that
some penalty should attach to them. For instance, let as
presum9 that Eolian has never beaten 1:17, and yet ran a
mile last year in l:40i, is it fair thut he should not be penal-
ized? and yet Sorrento will have to carry five pounds extra if
his owner sees fit to start him. It does not seem jnst to the
Californian horse, not that we are speaking for horses which
belong here, but it applies with equal force to Proctor Knott,
Harrisburg, Rowland, Chemise, King Crab, Holiday, and
scores of others that might be mentioned, these being simply
written from memory. We are perfectly aware that Eolian
has gone a remarkable three-quarters himself, but have
simply used his name as the first that oame to hand.

Some turfmen think that the great two-year-old prizes this
year are to be battled for chiefly by Mr. Belmoct's yonnpsters
and Mr. Withers*. Both the Nursery lot and the Brookdale lot
are said to be of remarkable merit. The partisans of the
Dwyer Stable expect great things from the red and blue, al-
though some observers have been a little disappointed in' the
appearance of the big troop of two-ytar-olds in the Dwyer Sta-
ble at Gravesend. People who saw Mr. Withers' yearlings
at his farm last summer did not consider them equal in appear-
ance and promise to the yearlings of 1SS7. It can be hardly
possible that Brookdale can turn out two years in succession
lota of the brilliancy of that of last season. If Mr. Withers
should bring to the post tbU year another such constellation
of stars ap the Faverdale colt, Minion, Auricoma, the Cyclone
colt, the Dawdle colt, the Majority colt and some others, he
will be indeed in great luck.

Breeding for Speed and Gameness.

H. W. Peck.
It is not my intention to enlarge upon a subject that has
already been handled by competent men, nor to touch upon
those noints which are well known by the vast majority of
people who take an interest in the horse and his welfare.
Many works are now upon the market, costing from fifty
cents to six or seven dollars, in which the subject of the
horse, his breeding, his diseases, his care and keeping, are
exhaustively treated. I have read many of these works.
Some of them, it seems to me, are not written by practical
horsemen. The only way to acquire knowledge, at least an
accurate knowledge of horses is to breed them; rear them;
educate them; and handle them from colthood to maturity.
Had soma of these writers done this, many of their statements
would bear a wide divergence from their published conclu-
sions. In placing this modest effort before the public, I pro-
pose toaohing upon some things which are not found in these
works. In fact, the principal things I shall dwell upon are
subjects which I conceive may benefit some one who is not
an fait in all that pertains to the horse. The 'act that I have
found out some things by experience, by accident, even,
which I believe beneficial to horse fanciers, is my only apol-
ogy for asking your attention to this rambling letter. It is
written for the amateur and begin tier, with a latent possibility
that it may prove of some value to the "initiated." It has at
least the merit of originality, as I am not dependent upon
anjbody else for my views upon horsefle&h. I am of the un-
ohangable opinion that the mare is sixty per cent of the colt.
I am laying down what I believe to be a general, though not
an infallible rule. I am aware that when sire and dam are
coupled, that the colt, technically, is fifty per cent of each. I
believe, however, that when every attribute is considered,
the dam is nearer sixty per cent than fifty per cent. I believe
the Arabian saying, "the mare is the vase in which the seed
is nourished'' to be correct. I believe I have found out that
the stallion gives the outward conformation and the speed,
and generally speaking that's about all. The mare giveB the
size, vigor and temper. She controls to a great extent the
internal organs. She gives the quality which horsemen de-
nominate ''game,1' which can be defined as the ability to
"stay out" a long and hard race, though perhaps every heat
may be attended with pain. Though the horse may be sore,
or tired or lame, he yet endeavors to get to the front when-
ever the chance offers. I do not believe there was ever a
really great horse who did not have a really great mother.
Her bret ding may have been characterized as "nnknown," but
if sbe reared a really great colt she possessed latent qualities
that produced the effect. There are instances upon record
where the crossing of a mustang mare or a "Texas pony"
mare with a highly bred and fast horse has resulted in a very
speedy horse. If you will watch his course, however, you
will find at the end of the first season's trotting he is either
"done for," or gets unsteady; or if steady and reliable, he
somehow fails to trot as fast the second season as he did the
first; or something or other goes wrong. He attracts con-
siderable attention during his early trotting career, but soon
drops out of sight. There are but few exceptions to this
rule, when they are bred this way. They don't "train on."
When you see a horse lovver his record one year after an-
other, even if a very slight reduction, you can generally
know that his mother was a good mare.

Many men, otherwise well informed, will take a common
mare to a stallion of high breeding, with a record not far
away from 2:20, and they expect the prodnoe to be a "trotter!"
Why? Beoanse the horse can trot in 2:20 and is game and
well bred! Many a man, especially the beginner, hts had
these bright visions at pome time in his life and he well re-
members the awakening.

How little by little he was forced to the conclusion that his
colt was not, and never would be, a trotter. For they must
go faBt now to be called trotters, and to win money. Then
this maD. who perhaps paid $75, $100 or SloO for the ser-
vice of the sire of his colt, falls to and reviles the stallion,
curses the man or men who own him, and makes up his
mind to breed his mare next season to a jackass. This is a
truthful picture, as I have seen it exemplified.

Considered from the standpoint of profit alone, it is my
humble opinion that three-quarters of the mares in this
State should be bred to Cleveland Bay stallions. I am much
too fond of the trotter to decry his merits, or take up the
cudgel againBt him in any way. Bnt I am now speaking
from the standpoint of profit alone, and with a knowledge of
the mareB owned by the farmers throughout thiB county. I
presume that most other counties in the State are about the
same. I think I can truthfully say that we have about as
well bred a lot of horseflesh in this connty as can be found
anywhere in this State.

The Cleveland Bays give size, good color, good action and
style. A pair of half-blood Cleveland Bays can pull a car-
riage along the road at a 4:30 gait, and they are large and
sylish. They can draw a heavy load, pull the plow, and are
generally useful wherever placed. The advantages they
possess over other large breeds, are that they are more active,
better color, look better, have more speed, and are more
hardy. With the average farmer and handler of horses, size
will prove a great factor in the advantageous sale of colts and
horses.

Should you wish tobreed a roadster, a horse for your own
driving, should you want him courageous and fast, it will
do to breed your mare Dolly, or Kitty, or Snsan to a fast and
stauDch horse. If I had a reasonably good mare and
wished to breed a high type road horse, a lasting horse, a
horse that would fill the bill for a par excellence gentleman's
roadster, I would rather pay anywhere from $100 to $150 for
the service of such horses as Director, Anteeo, Stamboul,
Woodnnt, Guy Wilkes and others of their class, than give
$25 for the service of a crocs roads stallion, that would have
to trot himself to death to »how a mile in 3:15. Understand
I would rather do this if I wanted a horse for my own use.
Were I raising horses for profit alone I would not do it.
I simply wish to impress the beginner with the truth of

the statement that a good colt must have a good mother. If
you would raise a trotting colt, you mast have a speedy and
courageous mare. She must be bred right, and her ancestors
bred right. Then you have a right to expect spetd, if she be
coupled with a fast sire that is bred right, and whose ances-
tors have inherited the ability to trot fast.

A Bubjeot not much treated of is relative to speeding a
mare while carrying a foal. We will suppose you have bred
a good mare to a first class horse. Say the mare can trot a
2:40 gait. Now, is it advantageous to the foal to speed the
mare? My belief is that it is of advantage. I should never
carry it beyond the seventh month however. I am of the
opinion that with proper work of the mother, the foal can be
taaght to speed faster and sooner than otherwise. I have
seen, to be sure, but two practical examples of this, but in
both cases the colts were superior to the others from the
same sire and dam, or from the same dam, when bred to
other equally good stallions.

This speeding of the dam Bhould never be carried to excess;
should yon be driving her single, jog her most of the time,
and once or twice while out move her fast for 150 yards.
After the first brash let her entirely recover breath before
speeding again. A mare in foal is a very different animal
from one not in foal, and should be handled with much dis-
crimination and care. There could be nothing more cruel
than driving a mare heavy with foal, so fast or so far that
she be utterly exhausted. Many colts are lost by the average
farmer through negligence or stupidity— the first in some
instances, the second in others — in working the "pair of
mareB*' too hard when hitched to a heavy load.

To return, however, to the subject in hand. When you
have a mare of proper form, speed and breeding, and are
hunting for a horse to Eire a trotter, let me say this to you:

lsr: Find ahorse of proper conformation, with good bone
and cord (I shall refer to bone and cord later on) ; with plenty
of substance well placed — not the substance of the draft horse
but of the trotter — with an intelligent head; a sloping shoul-
der, with the point carried well forward; a good back and
well-filled loin; a well-ribbed and well-rounded barrel; a
smooth, good sized rump, sloping gradually to the hock — not
"oat in" as horseman say, behind; with good feet. This
horse will pull weight!

2d: Ascertain bis breeding. What horse was his sire?
HaB he produced trotters? Has his dam produced a trotter?
How about hiB grandsire? If everything regarding breeding
is satisfactory, you may know that he will stay out a long
race!

3d: What is his record? A developed horse is always
worth more than an undeveloped one. He is more likely to
sire trotters than an undeveloped horse, no matter what
owners of the undeveloped kind tell you. Moreover, your
colts will sell for more money, if their sire has a fast record,
other things being equal. His fast record shows that he has
undeniably the attribute of speed, and the ability to train on.
The man with a horse without a record, that confidently tells
yon that his horse can equal if not surpass the performance
of the other one, is either a knave or an ignoramoue.

If you are satisfied with the horse's record you then will
know that this Btud can pull weight, can pull it a long time,
and can pull it fast! ! Tnat is about as high an ecomium
as can be given to any well bred horse.

If yonr mare is a highly bred one, it would be advisable to
couple her with a horse who has in him the best element of
blood she possesses. For instance, to illustrate: Suppose yon
had a mare sired by Whipple's Hambletonian, her dam being
a running-bred mare. She should be taken to a Hamble-
tonian horse whose dam had some thoroughbred blood in her.
That is to say, she should be so bred if you carry out this
theory. Suppose your mare ia sired by Monroe Chief, who
is a decendant of Hambletonian 10, but with most of the
Hambletonian "bred out." She would cross well with any
horse of good breeding. Saltan is another horse whose
female progeny should nick well with any horse of good
breeding. This is on account of there being no positive ele-
ment in Sultan's breeding that would refase to yield to other
blood lines. While Saltan is a very highly-Dred horse, he is
what I term a homogeneously bred horse.

A horse of Nutwood's breeding and characteristics, or a
horse of Electioneers breeding and characteristics, impress
themselves upon their offspring so strongly that the "Nat-
wood look" and the "Electioneer look" can be seen two gen-
erations removed. So with other hoisea I could name. One
may be, well, as fashionably and a» highly bred as another —
but their prepoteocy may be very different, according to their
breeding. But enough of that. I do not wish to enter into
a disquisition on the various stallions of this State, or their
individual merits. Suffice it to eav that there is to day, or
was not long since, in California about fifteen stallions whose
records, individual excellence, breeding, etc., cannot be
duplicated in the entire United States. That is to say, fifteen
I can name, which were until very lately owned in this one
State. In the matter of great brood-mares, however, many
of the Eastern States lead us. The time will come when this
State can and will show more fine mures than any otner in
the Union.

In regard to the breeding problem, there is one thing I
think that is too much neglected by the average breeder,
especially the farmer. That is, to croBs their mares with
stallions that will breed out any weakness the mare may
have. This has been often mentioned, but seldom heeded.
If your mare is light-legged and sometimes "teeters" in the
knees, she should be bred to a stalliom with a stout, short-
jointed leg. If Bhe is bad over the loin, correct it in her off-
spring by breeding her to a horse that is perfect there. In
short, try to correct everything undesirable in her by cross-
ing with a horse that is strong where she iB weak. If yonr
mare is one of the "gammy" legged kiDd, i. e., whoBe legs
paff easily, whose joints swell slightly when hard driven,
whose feet feel hot after a rushing drive, don't cross her with
a horse possessing the same traits or you will be seriously
disappointed some day in yoar colt.

Let me impress upon the minds of all horse raisers the
truth of the old axiom, "Like produces like or the likeness of
Borne ancestor." Never breed to an unsound horse if the
unsoundness be hereditary, no matter how valuable the horse
may otherwise be. A stallion that is curbed ib extremely
likely to produce curbed colts, even when crossed with a
mare whose legs and feet are of the best. A horse that is
short from the elbow joint to the middle of the knee, and
long in the cannon bone will produce colts that will readily
become knee sprung, as this st>le of conformation favors thiB
defect.

A horse that is short in the ankle and stands upright upon
his pasterns cannot stand work on the road that a horse
with larger and more sloping pasterns can, as the concussion
in the first instance is far greater than the second, aod con-
cussion is the principal thing that "does np" a horse.

In cloBiuog 1 wish to say a word upon that well worn
subject and stumbling block tothe "raw hand," viz: standard
bred! Always bear in mind that every other condition being
equal, a standard bred Btallion is always to be prefered to a

non-standard one. Remember this advice — two stallions are
in your neighborhood, one standard and the other not, exam-
ine them closely. If their breeding be equally good, or nearly
so, look at their respective merits. If the standard bred horse
is faulty in his action; can't trot better than a four minute
gait, and has been made standard by the performance of
distant relatives (who will never do any good) let him alone.
If the other horse is a good clean gaited horse; can show
anything from a 2:30 to 3:00 gait, yet is not technically
standard, on account of 3 to 4 seconds probably in some
immediate ancestor he is much to be preferred to the first
mentioned horse.

1 do not decry the standard, bnt I am disgusted when I
hear men prattle about the standard. Two-thirds of them
could not tell what constitutes a standard bred horse! Never-
theless they concur with singular unanimity upon one point
— they want nothing but standard stock! Offer these men,
for instance, a mare, we will say by a standard horse, and
that horse a producer! Say the mare can trot fast; show a
2:30 or 2:35 gait, and is noted as a game, fast and courageous
mare. They don't want to buy her, she is not a standard.
They will readily pay more money for standard bred mares
that can possibly go a mile in 3:45 or four minutes, and whose
sire never produced a trotter and never would. They fail to
comprehend that the first mare is worth a dozen of the latter
kind — even though they are standard, when it combs to
dams likely to foal a trotter. The first mare will render
herself standard by the best of all rules — a standard producer!
Bear in mind that I am not now attacking the standard. The
standard is good, but the standard list does not include all
the fine and valuable stock in the United States, and while I
repeat, as I have heretofore mentioned, that when the condi-
tions are equal or similar, a standard bred mare or stallion is
to be preferred, learn to judge when the conditions are equal.

1 wish in closing to refer to the hackneyed expression
"bone and cord." This expression is constantly used among
horsemen and would-be horsemen. A man refers
proudly to the fine leg his stallion has— Buch large bone and
cord! There is no neccesity of a large bone, the cord or
tendon is the only thing to be considered. I like a wide flat
leg, not very large bone, but plenty of tendon. This is a
much better leg than one with larger bone and less tendon.
Did you ever hear of the bone giving out in a track horse or
a road horse? I think not, but the tendons of the fore legs
cause more trouble then all other parts of the horse put
together.

Mr. Jesse D. Carr has Bold his stallion, Old Mambrino, to
some Santa Clara parties.

Mr. James Golden is now sorry that he gave up the option
on Stamboul, at least the Eastern papers say so.

Sis of the thoroughbreds from Palo Alto will be taken to
tbe spring meeting of the San Jose Blood Dorse Association^

Mi-. Fred Hanson of Eureka, has a valuable Pescora colt
which has been troubled very much with rheumatism for the
past rive or sit weeks.

The St. Louis Republic advises its readers to place a small
amount on Milton Young's horse Bootmaker, for the Ken-
tucky Derby.

Last Saturday morning Mr. B. C. Holly of Vallejo, started
East with Woodnut, to deliver him to the new owner R.
Steele of Philadelphia.

Mr. M. F. Tarpey's Notidle, which is now in the stable of
Senator Hearst, looks better than she ever did, and gives
promise of great speed this year.

W. S. Chapman, of Fresno, made an offer $3000 for W. E.
Overhalser's Oaknut, but the Petalumaite wanted $4000, and
the negotiationsfell through.

Mr. J. H. White, of Lakeville, has commenced work on a
mile track at his ranch. It will be finished in first-class
style, with all the latest improvements.

Capt. Guy E. Grosse of Santa Kosa, has had a large offer
for his Anteeo stallion "Sunset," but as his book was well
filled for the season the offer was refnBed.

Mr. J. W. Wilson, of Sacramento, has been again elected
as president of the Capital Turf Clnb. An excellent selection,
none better could have been made.

It seems to be the generally accepted theory that El Eey,
brother to the Emperor and The Czar, is a better colt than
either of the others at the same age.

Mr. John Shepherd of Boston has had Arab hooked double
with BIoDdine, and is' sending the pair over tbe snow at a
gait that is somewhat surprising to the Hubites.

A gentleman writing for the New York Sun, in giving a
description of Stony Ford Stock Farm, very seriously claims
Messenger Duroc as the sire of Electioneer. Where ignor-
ance, etc.

The Napa track is in splendid condition for fast work.
There are quite a number of horses there now, and several
applications have already been made for stall room for the fall
meeting.

Mr. T. H. Griffen hPB had still another fine trotter added to
his Btable: Steineer by Steinway, dam Kity G. by Electioneer.
This is line breeding, and if any one can give him a record
"Grift" will.

It is a fact, not generally known, that Frank Goodale, the
jockey engaged by Mr. D. D. Withers for the season of 1889,
was formerly a law clerk in the office of Gen. Roger A. Pryor
of New York.

T. G. Jones took the thoroughbred stallion Three Cheers
to the ranch of Mr. W. Bolts last Monday, to serve several
of the fine brood mares there. The old horse is in great
demand.

Mr. J. O'Kane of 767 Market street, has issued a very
handsome catalogue of the various horse boots which he
manufactures, gotten up in a very superior manner. Many
thanks for a copy of the same.

One of the fortunate wealthy breeders of this state has
asked Sam Gamble to find out what is the lowest price that
will be taken for Noonday. Mr. Gamble is of the opinion
that the owners will refuse to sell.

Mr. D. S. Frasier, of Petaluma, has been made a handsome
offer for his three-year-old Director colt, but refused it, feel-
ing assured that Mr. Saulsbury's words would come
true, and that the son of Director will be worth §10,000.

That glorious old brood mare Alma Mater will shortly be
sent to Palo Alto by Mr. Hobert, where Bhe will be bred to
Electioneer. The dam of Alcantara, Alcyone, etc., should
throw a grand foal to the cover of the Premier of Palo Alto,

There is a rumor current floating around that Mr. M. Saule-
bnry has made an offer for Yolo Maid. The price named is a
good round one, but without the authority of either Mr.
Hoppin or Mr. Saulsbury, it would benmpolitic to mention it.

Mr. Bud Levins has sustained a seriouB loss in the death
of his mare Daisy S. 2:23$, who died at the Valensin stock
farm, from inflamation of the bowels. Daisy S. was by Til-
ton Almont. 2:26, dam by Rattler. She was a fast mare as
the record shows and her endurance remarkable.

The well known race mares Edelweiss by Joe Hooker —
Yolone; Heliotrope by Joe Hocker— Yolone, and Yolone
by Norfolk— Mary Longstreet, have been taken to Mr. H. C.
Judson's ranch in Santa Clara, where (hey will be bred to
Wildidle.

The "piano to be sold by a lady with four mahogany legs,
who is going abroad in a handsome case," has been outdone.
I read the other day of an order given in London for "one
lady's prime Baddle for a tall, slim lady all over hogskin and
perfectly plain."

W. H. Wilson, Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., has sold to
Mr. Rohert Bonner, of New York, the bay mare Crip (dam of
George Simmons record 2:37$) by Mambrino Time; first dam
Bet by Regular, son of Volunteer 55; second dam by Prophet
Jr., son of Prophet; third dam by Commodore.

A trotting race took place at ihe Bay District Track on
Saturday laet, the contestants being Bonanza, Hugh Patrick
and Melrose. Hugh Patrick won tbe first heat in 2:3U and
Bonanza the last three in 2:32, 2:30, 2:30. The winner'could
have gone much faster if Havey had pushed him.

The weights for tbe Kentucky handicap are published,
Terra Cotta receiving the top weight 122 pounds, Montrose
and Badge 116, Los Angeles 115, and the remainder down to
90 pounds. The California mare has about three pouudB too
much for an early me tiog, latter on she could carry it ta*y.
Mollie McCarthy's Last is weighted at 106, Soiren'o 104,
■W.igram 95, the two latter have a good show in and look
.langerous.

John Green, the trotting horse driver and trainer, starts
to-day for Helena, Montana. We commend him to Brother
Pope of the Agricultural Society in Helena, who always takes
good care of all strangers.

Mr. T. H. Griffen has a new planet in the pacing firma-
ment which is called Edwin C. Last Tuesday the first quarter
was paced in 33A, and the last in 33 seconds. I was very
near right last week in saying that there were others to pace
with Adonis, Goldleaf and Yolo Maid this year.

James Golden, who saw Sunol in her work daring his
recent California trip, pronounces her the finest specimen of
a race-hor6e he ever saw, and thinks if any trotter living
beats the 2:08^- of Maud S. it will be the mare Sunol, two-
year-old record 2:18.

A few weeks ago I noticed the sale of Renilworth, formerly
the property of Mayor Grant, of New York. He wob taken
to England and resold to go to South America^ While on his
way thereon the steamer Advance^ Kenilworth was attacked
with lung fever and died. The shoes were removed and the
body thrown overboard.

I had two pleasant calls this week from Mr. C. E. Need-
ham, owner of Steve Whipple, and Mr. B'. W. Loeber, owner
of Whipple, Alcona and Grandissimo. Mr. Needham declares
that his stallion will get a record this season low down in
the "teens," while Mr. Loeber vows that the State fair is the
only one that will surpass the Napa exhibition.

Here is a tip for the Suburban. Michael J. Downing, who
is confined to his bed in the New York Hospital, writes to
The Sporting World that for three nights in succession he
has dreamed that he saw Senator Hearst's filly Gorgo pass
the winning post far in front of any of her competitors. She
was ridden by Hamilton, who did not have to do any work
at all.

Much has been written and considerable talk indulged in
with regard to Almont and his chances against the Eastern
cracks thin year, but I am sorry to say that it is just within
the bounds of probability that he will not be taken East, as
he has not developed as well as was expected. In Jact, he
has not grown any, and seems very much out of form.

The only thing talked about Thursday evening was the
Rose sale. The remarks of tbe various horsemen congregated
at the Palace Hotel would rill a volumn, still all were of the
opinion that Eastern buyers have secured the best lot of colts
and fillies ever sold at public auction, and although the
prices seem high, the stock was worth every penny paid for
it.

Mr. P. C. Kellogg, of New York, has made arrangements
with Senator Stanford for another auction sale in New York
City of a large draft from Palo Alto early in May next, saye
the "Mirror and Farmer." The consignment will be larger
than the inaugural Palo Alto sale held at the American Insti-
tute Building three years ago, and richer breeding will be
found in many of the offerings, as the blood of Electioneer,
General Benton, Piedmont and others of the stud have been
deeply intermingled.

The coming season promises to be one of sensations.
What with Stamboul on the Coast, and the almost assured
fact that he will be sent to beat the present stallion record,
and the contests between Adonis, Belmont Boy and Yolo
Maid, all of whom can lower their present records, the year
1889 should be one long to be remembered; and there are
two other pacers, one of which is at present in this city, that
can travel in the same company as the three mentioned
above.

Three horses had died mysteriously in a Madrid training
stable. The owners accordingly sent to Calcutta for a doctor
who should be able to put a name to the disease and take
measures to prevent it spreading any further. However, as
when the medico arrived the natives had already eaten the
deceased animals, there was not much for him to go upon.
He is now awaiting the demise of the hippo ph agists, in order
that he may make a report.

Mr. H. T. Rodman, Secretary of the Southern California
Racing Club, was in town last Saturday trying to secure
Bpecial rates from the railroad company for those who will
transport horses to the spring meeting. I understand he
secured the same allowances given las t year. Such being tbe
case, no one can grumble at the cost, as the terms are very
reasonable.

Hon. Marion Biggs Jr., of Biggs Station, is building ud a
stable of fast horses, and witbiD a short time will be, if he is
not now, the principal breeder in Butte County. Within a
few days he has purchased St. Luoas; a two-year-old by Nut-
wood; Hedgewood by Woodnut; Ed. B. by Brigadier, and a
filly from the Rancho del Paso. Mr. Biggs has promised to
send me a full pedigree of the lot, which will be published
when received.

Mr. W. H. Wilson of Cynthiana, Ky., writes on behalf of
Col. H. S. Rnssell of Boston, and says, "I wish to contradict
the statement telegraphed over the country that Col. Russell
offered to match Edgemark against Bell Boy. It is entirely
untrue, as Col. RuBsell never spoke to Mr. Clark, and is not
the sort of gentleman to try and boom his colt by invidious
comparisons. It is also untrue that the price of Edgemark is
known to the public."

The following problem has set many readers of the "Sport-
ing World" guessing: On Wednesday last, at Clifton, a backer
invested $15 on the horse Fountain at 8 to 1. His ticket
called for $120 to $15. Before the race was run the odds
againBt the horse were cut down to 4 to 1. The holder of
the ticket claimed that he had won $45 before the horses
started on account of the reduction in price. The question
is what was the real value of (he ticket before the race.

At the annual meeting of the Napa Agricultural, Horticul-
tural and Vinticultural Association held last Saturday even-
ing, the following Directors were elected for the ensuing
year: L. L. James, F. W. Loeber, W. J. McCollum, John
Even, Nathan Coombs, H. W. Crabb, G. M. FranciB, R. F.
Tajlor, M. M. Estee. As officers the following were elected:
President, L. L. JameB: Vice-PresideDt, F. W. Loeber;
Treasurer, W. J. McCollum; Secretary, A. H. Conkling.

Our readers must not forget that entries for the Los Angeles
meeting will close on March 15th. The association is one of
the moBt liberal in the State, as is testified to by tbe size of
the parses, and the membership consists of enthusiastic
horBemen who strive by every means in thtir power to pro-
mote the bent interests of racing. Such a society should
have a bountiful Bupport, and it is to be hoped that the entry
list will be satisfactory alike to the Southern California Club
and their patrons, the public

The directors of tbe fair grounds at Fresno have decided to
hang up a purse of $30,000 for running horses, two miles and
repeat, the race to take place next Thanksgiving Day. I will
give full particulars next week.

A great discussion has arisen as to what position on the
Sheepshead Bay track Proctor Knott, Salvator and Galen
occupied when they finished for the Futurity Stake. The
dispute I fancy hinges on which is the outside and which is
thejnside of the course. I saw Galen finish on the Bide of
the track which is the farthest away from the judges.

Oohn Splan writes to Sam Gamble as follows: "I think
from your long experience on the turf you will agree with
me that speed is or 1 y one of the elements that it takes to make
a race horse. The horses you and I rubbed in our boyhood
days were noted as much for their courage as for their epeed.
The same state of affairs exist now. Any horse that wins a
majority of his races does bo as much from his bravery as by
his speed. In looking back over the public Derformers, I find
that sooner or later the faint hearted ones all fall in the
soup."

F. M.Starkey has brought suit in Stockton, against George
L. Wolf, Frank Wolf and David Winders, and asks for an or-
der of Court enjuining defendants from selliDg the race
horses Lida Ferguson, Cyclone and two others. It seems
that Starkey turned over the horses to one of the Wolfs, he
to train and race them for their mutual benefit. One Wolf,
assigns thf-m to the other Wolf and then Winders seems to
have bought them. It is a rather badly mixed up case, in
which at present it is difficult to judge who is at fault.

Reporter was a grand two-year-old last year, and on several
occasions I have bad occasion to tell what a cracking colt he
was sure to be this season. There are others who evidently
bave the same opinion, for information comes from Chicago
that Mr. Hankins, of the Chicago Stable, has asked Capt.
Brown to pot a price on the son of Enquirer. From Nash-
ville comes the news that Mr. J. B. Haggio, of this city, ha3
offered the Pittsburg coal Baron §10,000 for tbe colt, but the
Captain asks $15,000. He is a cheaper horse than Sam
Bryants favorite, at the same n'eura.

The Melbourne Sportsman says that contemporaneous
with the arrival of the Hon. James White's Derby candi-
dates, some American bred horses, the property of Mr. J. B.
Haggin, will be landed in England to try conclusions with
the British cracks. As our readers are aware Mr. Haggin
will Bend no horses to England, bnt the rumor is current in
the Antipodes. The Australian gentleman mentioned above
is a most successful breeder, and he has taken six ot his
tbree-yeai-olds to contest for ihe blue ribbon of the English
turf. I wish him all tbe luck imaginable, for he treats his
American visitors in a right royal manner.

And now comes a gentle whisper from away across the
Rockies that Kasson has developed wonderfully, and thrown
off his sluggish propensities of last season, and furthermore,
that his owner is eagerly awaitiDg the day when he can pit
his horse against Proctor Knott. However, the same breath
also bids me keep an eye on Noah Armstrong's Spokane, and
I am inclined to tbe belief, from what I saw last season, that
if this son of Hyder Ali can only get a decent start at the
post, that he should make all tbe three-year-olds that he
meets think that they had been out to a race. He was very
fast laet fall.

There is now a new phase given to the many arguments
which have been bandied from pillar to post about Prootor
Knott all winter. The latest story is, that Sam Bryant is
extremely anxious to sell the gelding, and will especially
prepare him for the two thousand at Nashville, try and have
him win as easy ?s he did the Junior Champion, and then
sell him to the party who will pay the most money for him.
Bryant and Scoggan only received about three quarters of
the amount in money which the Futurity Stake called for,
the balance being in forfeitP. They have sent a commission
East to put an injunction on all horses whose owners have
not paid.

What! you haven't heard the news? Well, ft's true, Sam

Gamble is going to write a book entitled , but I had

tetter not tell the title, as John Splan will change the name
of his book, or Charles Marvin will appropriate it for his new
publication. As Sam says, "What's the good of these men
writing about the trotting horse when they are only begin*
ning to learn the business. Now, I've been at it all my life,
and feel as though my experience would be worth something
to the public. Grim, come over some day when you have
an hour or two to spare, and we'll write a book that will kill
the sale of the others, for I'll put in things they don't dare
talk about."

I have received from Mr. Iwin Ayres, of the San Miguel
Stock Farm. Contra Costa County, an elegant catalogue of his
richly bred trotting stock, beaded by the very successful
stallion Mambrino Wilkes, 6083. A look through the work,
at the breeding of the stock, shows the blood of Geo. Wilkes,
Electioneer, The Moor, Jack Hawkins, Belmont, Nephew
Hambletonian, etc, making a collection that cannot be sur-
passed. The oatalosue has been compiled by Mr. Daniel
Geary, of Wallace's Monthly, one of the most careful tabula-
tors in the country. Mr. Ayres will gladly Bend a oopy to
anyperson making application.

Mr. J. B. Chate has had a severe loss ir the death of his
two-year-old Catherine, by Warwick, dam Mischief, who fell
dead on the track at Sacramento last Saturday, while being
gently exercised. The filly was in the stable of Matt Storn,
and had given remarkable promise for such a youngster, and
Matt has frequently told me that she would be a surprise for
the knowing ones before the season *as over. She had
shown no signs of illness, and was considered perfectly
soui d. The boy was giving her an easy gallop when she
suddenly Btopped and fell, breaking her neck as she touched
the ground. A veterinary surgeon was called in and a post
mortem held, when it was discovered that heart trouble was
the cause of death, that organ being almost double tbe usual
size.

A stallion show was held at the Agricultural Park,
Petaluma, last Satorday.which was a marked sUvcess. A great
many horses were exhibited, and made an exceedingly good

Big: BettiDg.

Naturally a large crowd of the prominent horsemen of the
country, have congregated at New York, during the past
week, to attend the great sale of Californian horses which has
been conducted with such marked success by Mr. Peter
Kellogg. The relative merits of the best stallions have been
talked about in the hotel corridors, some breeders sticking
for one particular strain of blood, while others have advocated
other preferences. As an outcome resulting from many warm
discussions, "Counselor" Crawford of Lexington, Ky., has
made a wager with Mr. L. J. Rose of $5,000 that Stambonl
cannot trot a mile in 1S89, in 2:12 or better. Mr. Rose jumped
at the bet and a forfeit was immediately posted. Crawford
is evidently after California money, for he no sooner made
the Stambonl bet, than he began to tantalize John Gold-
smith, about the speed of Sable Wilkes. John got np in
erms at the idea of any one doubting the ability of his favor-
ite to beat anything of his age, so another wager was made,
this one being that Goldsmith bets Crawford $1000, that
Sable Wilkes will trot a mile, in 1SS9, in 2:15 or better. Both
of the matches are made play or pay. It may not be out of
place to state here that the Mr. Crawford alluded to is the
gentleman who commissioned Orrin A. Hickok to purchase
Stambonl at $50,000. From these wagers it can be pre-
sumed that the Kentucky gentleman feels nettled at the idea
of losing the celebrated Rosemeade stallion.

Suburban Tips.

In addition to those printed last week, we have received
the following selections:

Captain H. B. Blagrave, horse owner and recognized
authority on turf matters — At the weights, and taking into
consideration the probable starters, Balvidere should land the
money for Mr. Galway,

R. Porter-Ashe, breeder and owner of thoroughbreds —
From what I saw of him last year, 1 like Judge Murray's
chances.

Paddy Ryan, ex-pugilist and turf -frequenter — From what
Elkwood did last year, I want to stick to him as the winner
for 1889.

Judge James Mee, who every one knows — My favorite at
present for the Suburban is Fitz James, with Prince Royal
for a place.

Capt. S. S. Brown, of Pittsburg, the owner of many noted
horses — Well, I am inclined to favor Judge Murray.

T. G. Jones, trainer and horse owner— Judge Murray
should win the Suburban.

C. V. Tupper, of Santa RoBa, owner of Al Farrow, and
other race-horses— It is hard work trying to pick a winner,
but I like George Oyster a trifle better than the others.

E. A. DeCamp, late Secretary 6th District Agricultural
Society — My favorite for the Suburban is Aurelia, with 113
pound: up.

Dan McCarty, he of Whitehat Fame — You can putmedown
for Judge Murray, but I wish I had Sorrento in among the
middle weights.

N. J. Killip, auctioneer and pool-seller — Judge Murray
beat Raceland and Los Aogeles so easily last year, carrying
top-weight, that his chances are as good as the best.

Richard Havey, trotting-borse owner and driver — What!
Yum Yum in the Suburban? Well, I do not want to look
any further for the winner.

C. H. Hinohman, manager Bay District Track — The Bard
will suit me first rate.

J. Farrel — Hanover Beems to me the most promising one of
the lot.

John Green, latb of Palo Alto Stock Farm — If Jim Galway
can fit Belvidere for such an early race, he should win.

D. J. McCarty, Jr., owner of thoroughbreds — Prince
Royal, carrying 120 pounds, with Garrison up, looks as
though be should give the others a good brush and win.

Cyrus Holloway, trainer — If Hanover comes to the post he
should win.

Dr. C. W. Aby, manager of the Langtry and Gebhard
Stock Farms — Prince Royal with "the Snapper" up will jus1
about get the stuff.

James D. Soowden, of Oroville— From the breeding of
Gorgo I do not 6ee how fihe 080 poRsib'y lose, Egmont
should get the place,

THE GUiNT.

The California Wing Shooting Clnb meets to-morrow, going
down bj the S :30 a. m. train from Fonrth and Townsond
streets. The efficient secretary, Mr. Will. DeVauIl, has
thoioaghly reorganized the clnb, with the assistance o( Dr.
S. E. Knowles and Mr. Ed. Fay, and the probabilties are that
the clnb will asnme its old-time leading place among local
shooting organizations.

MessrB. W. P. Lewis and Portwarden, C. B. Smith have
joined the California Wing Shooting Clnb. That clnb al-
ready has several of the rare shots and sportsmen of Stockton
in its ranks, and now that Mr. Smith has added his name to
to those of C. J. Haas, A. B Sperry and Frank Lane the
organization will be the stronger.

Mr. George T. Mills, of Carson City, Nev., has been ap-
pointed Fish Commissioner of Nevada, gieatly to the gratifi-
cation of the anglers of that State. Mr. Mills is an enthusias-
tic sportsman, and has plenty of leisure. He has appointed
Mr. Ernest Harris Deputy Commissioner, and an active
administration of the important office may be expected.

A very snccessfnl rabbit drive was made at Mr. D. M. Pvle's
place, Mountain View Diary, near Bakerfield, on ilarch'3rd
Mr. Pyle was commander; Messrs. H. L. Borgwardt and C. L.'
Connor, assistant commanders; and Messrs. Ed. Lechner,
Chris Stockton, Thomas L. Brigga and George Tibbet, can-
taios. A barbecue was prepared by Mr. Jack Ellis. Mr. S. X.
Beed writes that four thousand four hundred and twenty-eight
jack rabbits were corralled nnd killed. There was a hole in
the rabbit proof fence and fully as many escaped as were
killed. Ed. Lechner accounted for three hundred and
seventy rabbits and Mr. Borgwardt for nearly as many. No
more exciting sport can be imagined than a rabbit drive, and
it is well worth the while of eastern visitors to make the trip
to Bakersrield to see one.

THE KENNEL.

The Waterloo Cop was divided, Troughend and Fullerton
being the winners. In the last round Fullerton beat Her-
schel, and Troughend beat Danger Signal.

The selection of William Graham to judge the coming
bench show is a wise one. He is as good an "all around"
judge as lives, and has had a deal of experience.

Mr. J. R. Dodge, of Salinas, owner of the pointer Stella, a
full sister to Mr. Will Berry's Blackbird, had the misfortune
to lose Stella by death from a gunshot wound recently. The
bitch was shot by mistake, in high cover, while Mr. Dodge
and a friend were hunting her.

Visits.

Mr. M. W. Stackpool's Irish red setter Nora (Mike T—
Lady Elcho T.) to Mr. John Stack's red setter Grouse (breed-
ing unknown), February 14, 1889.

Sales-

Dr. A. C. Davenport, Stockton, bas purchased from theGleu
Mohican Kennel, Tipton, Iowa, the white and liver ticked
cocker spaniel dog Kute by Snip (Carlo — Beauty), out of
Daisy Y (Ward dog — Josephine), whelped December 24,
18S7.

A Query.

Editor Breeder akd Sportsman:— I have a bull terrier
pup that is not intended for fighting, but probably will be
entered in the Bench Show. Would it be best to have her
ears cut or to leave them in a state of nature? A. J*

[Custom dictates that the ears shall be cut. The querist
should see Col. Stuart Taylor's terrier Kitty and have the
cutting done precisely as in her case — Ken. Ed.]

Pacific Kennel Club-

The club held its montUly meeting on Wednesday evening
last at 419 California street, Room 19, President Wilson in
the chair. After reading and approval of^the minutes, Treas-
urer Watson made a detailed report of the finances of the
club, showing a net balance of $173.42 in hand, together
with a guarantee fund amounting io $300. Mr. Clarence
Height of the Committee on transportation of dogs reported
that Wells. Fargo & Co.'s Express had agreed to carry all
dogs to and from the Show at half rate, full fare to be paid
one way and the animals returned free, upon presentation of
a proper certificate that they have been on exhibition. After
discussion of the qualifications and availability of several
possible judges of tbe Show, upon motion of H E. Briggs,
seconded by William Sehreiber, it wis ordered ihat William
Graham of Belfast, Ireland, be engaged to judge the whole
show at the figure 6et by him.

The committee on premium list reported a list of one hun-
dred and four classes, prizes beiug $10, 35 and diploma in
each claBB. The list whb ordered printed immediately. The
matter of selecting a superintendent was then taken up. Mr.
Sohreibet|was opposed to engaging a man, until about the lime
of the show. He thought that the preliminary work would
be done by committees of the club, and, perhaps with a little
clerical assistance eveiy thing could be done that was neces-
sary without a superintendent, until May 1st, at which time
he thought some man should be secured whose whole time
would be given to the work of the show. Mr. F. ( '. Zimmer-
man thougbt a good superintendent could do a great deal
in arousinginterest in the show, and could much more than
repay any salary which he might receive, by the increased re-
ceipts which would result iroin his work, but he did not
know where such a man could he found and he therefore
agreed with Mr. Sehreiber.

Mr. H. W. M. Sandbach strongly favored postponing the
employment of a superintendent until May lsr, at which time
he thought some man of perfect sobriety and firmness enough
to enable him to control the army of attend, nts at the pavil-
ion should be engaged at a fair salary. He thooght a special
committee could handle the matter better than the club, and
upon his motion Messrs. AVm. Sehreiber and H. H. Briggs
were empowered to select a superintendent. The secretary
was directed to real an office for the club at 624 Market
Street, where it was last year.

Many letters of inquiry and requests for premium lists bad
been received by the secretary (rum a dozeu different States
and all parte of the Pacific Coast, an indication that tbe com -
ing bench show, from May 22d to 23th, inclusive was aroi
much interest, and would be highly successful.

After requesting the Executive Committee to mee1
California Street. B^oro 19, r*n Monday evening next
dent Wileon adjourned the club,

M. Wise— I would like to say a word about the protest to
the Virginia Field SportB Association. I was not present
when that protest was considered, but the faot was that the
gentleman, Mr. Thompson, filed a protest before our show to
the effect that his bitch was eligible to a prize which we
offered for the best setter dog or bitch that had run in a field
trial. I was perfectly unaware, as President of the show, of
any statement that he had made that he had applied in the
ring, and his papers as he presented them did not show that
he had made any application to do so. I was informed that
the man had really presented his dog at the ring and had
been really refused. The fact was not known to ns at all.
If he was done an injustice it was because he did not present
his case right and because he did not oriog the facts before
ns, and its appeal was considered outside the record. Matters
which were not known to us would have altered our decision
in the case entirely. I stata this in justice to the Virginia
Field Sports Association.

A. P
On motion, the Treasurer's report was accepted and placed
on file.

Election of officers being now the order of business, Mr. J.
H. Winslow, on motion, temporarily took the chair.

Mr. Anthony — I nominate as President of the American
Kennel Club Mr. August Belmont, Jr., and in making the
nomination I desire to say one or two wordB. It is very
seldom that any Clnb is so fortunate as to have at its head a
gentleman like Mr. Belmont, who has given his time, his
thought and his money to carry out the desires of owners of
good dogs in the United States, It is a thankless task at
best to go forward and to stand as the butt of sarcasm and
personalities and everything else. Leaders in all movement?,
however, have to submit with what grace they can. But I
wish to state here that Mr. August Belmont, when he was
elected President of this Club, and during the time that he
has held that office, has done more than any ten men in the
United States have overdone to forward the "doggy" interests
in this country. He 1b the right man in the right place, and
no change could be made which would meet, I believe, the
approval of hardly a single delegate here.

Mr. Peshall nominated Mr. J. O. Donner as President.
Mr. Donner — I have already stated to Mr. Peshall that I
would not have my name presented for the position of presi-
dent, and he has placed my name in nomination without any
authority whatever on my part. I therefore ask that he
withdraw my name.

Mr. Peshall — I could not do so consistently.
The nomination of Mr. Belmont was seconded.
On motion of Mr. Vredenburgh the nominations were
closed.

The President pro tern appointed MesBrs. Anthony and
Malcolm as tellers, who collected the ballots, and the result
was announoed as follows: 23 votes cast, of which Mr. Bel-
mont received 22 and Mr. Donner 1.

Mr. Donner— 1 move that the election of Mr. Belmont be
made unanimous and that Mr. PeBhall withdraw my name
Mr. PeBhall objected.

Mr. Anthony said that it would be better if the vote stood
as announced, as it Bhowed exactly how the vote stood.

Mr. Belmont was then notified of his eleotion and con-
ducted to tbe cLmir.

Mr. Belmont — I can only say to you in takiuR the chair
and in accepting your election for the ensuing year, that I
feel very mnoh flattered at yonr expression of confidence,
which I "bad no real reason to believe yon did not feel, but at
the same time naturally enough, aB I have been instrumental
in bringing about a number of changes iu tbe club, and try-
ing to the be=t of my ability to do for it what has seemed to
me best, I, of coarse, reel a little anxious to be endorsed, not
to serve you again if you did not desire me to, bnt I did want
to be endorsed for what I have done during the past year.
I th*nk you acun for your expression of approval.

Mr. Peshall I desire to move, under the circumstances,
that the vote he made unanimous,

Mr. Anthony — I rise to a point of order. That already has
been decided and the record made. It is too late for Mr.
Peshall to do that now.

The President — Nominations for vice-president are now in
order.

Mr. Vredenburgh — I nominate Thomas H. Terry.

Mr. Wise — I move that the Secretary on behalf of the clab
be instructed to caBt a ballot for Mr. Terry as vice-president.

Motion seconded and carried.

Mr. Vredenbnrg — As instructed I have cast a ballot for Mr.
Terry as vice-president of this club.

The President — Under the new constitution it is necoes-
sary for you to appoint two members of the Advisory Com-
mittee. Before taking up that subject it will be neccessery
for me to report to you on the question of my conference
with the National Dog Club, and I suppose that can be dis-
posed of. Dr. Perry came to New York and waited upon the
officers of the club here, as you know. I then visited Dr.
Perry in Boston and we came to an agreement covering the
expression of your views on the subject, which was that the
National Dog Club should abandon its rules and name and
become a part of the Associate Membership. At tbe same
time they did not feel as if they could abandon their organi-
zation entirely and break up in disorder, and without any
recognition at all, they thought they would not be able to
carry such a position through, yet is was deemed best to
keep their club together and pass it into the Associate
Membership in an organized way. I suppose under the
circumstances, if they are acceptable to yon at all, as they
would bring in about two hundred members, they would not
be satisfied with less than two delegates, or we could give
them more important recognition in the club, and as a
matter of courtesy I told them that if any offices were created
for the Associate Members, we would recognize their present
officers. I told tnem I did not suppose there would be any
objection to that. Of course I meant on the part of the
American Kennel Club. That seemed to satisfy them, and
the President sent out a circular to the National Dog Clnb
members calling a meeting for Tuesday, the 19th, to take
action on the subject. That meeting was called, and the
following are tbe conditions upon wh ch the National Dog
Club will amalgamate with the American Kennel Club, and I
will read that to you,

1. That the National Dog Club shall be admitted as a whole
to Associate Membership in the American Kennel Club with-
out any discrimination againBt any individual member.

2. That the present Secretary of the National Dog Club
shall be given 30 days from the date of notification of accep-
tance of these conditions within which to file with the Secre-
tary of the American Kennel Club the names of all members
of the National Dog Club desiring to join the Associate Mem-
bership, and all such members shall, upon the filing of their
names, together with the payment of $5 dues for each indi-
vidual, thereupon become Associate Memberaof the American
Kennel Club, with all the rights and privileges thereunto
appertaining for the ourrent fiscal year.

3. That the election of officers and delegates of the Associate
Membership to the American Kennel Club shall be deferred
to a meeting which shall be held at Boston during the show
of the New England Kennel Club in that city.

4. That the further agreement provisionally made by Mr.
Belmont, of the American Clnb, and Dr. Perry, of the National
Dog Club, and which has been ratified by the National Dog
Club, shall be ratified by the American Kennel Club.

5. That the conditions herein prescribed shall be definitely
acted upon by the American Kennel Clnb during the current
week. Cornelius Stevenson.

Committee of the N. D. C
The President continued: They do not mention anything
about the officers at all, but the idea was to give them office
(by making these alterations) in the Advisory Committee and
giving them a President and one other officer.

Mr. Anthony— I move that the communication of the
officers of the National Dog Club be received, and that the
President be instructed to meet the gentlemen and to comply
with their request upon the terms as read.
Motion seconded and carried.

The President — I will read you the proposed amendments:
"To add in Article XX, second line, 'and the President of
the Associate Members' and to add to Article VIII.

Sec. 1. The Associate Members shall eh ct by ballot at their
annual meeting a President, Vice-President and Secretary to
serve for the ensuing year.

Sec. 2. The duties of the President of the Associate Mem-
bers shall be to preside at all meetings of the Associate
Members, and to serve ex-otfieio as a member of the Advisory
Committee of the American Kennel Club.

Sec. 3. The duties of the vice-President of the Associate
Members shall be to perform the duties of the President in
case of absence, death or resignation of the latter.

Sec. 4. The duties of the Secretary of the Associate Mem-
bers shall be to keep minutes of all meetings of the Associate
Members, a oertified copy of which must be filed with the
Secretary of the American Kennel Club, to keep a complete
list of tbe nameB and addresses of the Associate Members,
eto., filed and copied correspondence on all subjects relating
to his office; all of which at tbe expiration of his term of
office must be deposited for safe keeping and the use of his
successor with the Secretary of the American Kennel Club."
Mr. Anthony — I move the amendments to the constitution
as read be adopted.

Motion seconded and carried by 20 votes.
The President—The election of the Advisory Committee is
in order, and it is necessary to elect two members.

Messrs. J. L. Anthony and John S. Wise were nominated,
and on motion the nominations were closed.

On motion they were dnly elected as members of the
Advisory Committee.

Nominations were then called for to constitute the Stud
Book Committee.

Mr. Anthony— I move that the Stud Book Committee be
composed of its two present members, as they are familiar
with it, and as I understand they do their duties well. Theie
is a third one to be added, and I nominate Mr. Bennett.
Mr. Bennett — I deoline.

Mr. Lewis was nominated as the third member of tbe Stud
Book Committee.

On motion Mr. Thomas H. Terry, Mr. H. F. Sobellhass
and Mr. Lewis were elected as the Stud Book Committee for
the ensuing year.

The Piesident stated that he had made arrangements to
buy the American Kennel Register, because it wtis naturally
a publication of the Gazette; that Mr. Peshall had been
nppointed as a Committee to wait upon the "Forest and
Stream" to see whether the purchase could be made; that
when he (the President) found the National Dog Club
would come iu he thought it would be a very desirable thing
at the same time to suppress the Register, and ia faot that
suggestion came from Dr. Perry himself, who said he would
buy the Register from the "Forest and Stream," and, that the

1889

^ht grottier mxti, gpoxtsmzn.

151

Register would then be handed over to the American Kennel
Club and suppressed. A contract haB been drawn np, and
he thought the purchase had been made.

The President further statpd that the Club could either act
upon the price or they could leave it in the hands of the
officers so it would not become public.

Mr. Anthony — I move that the arrangement made by Mr.
Belmont individually in regard to the purchase of the Amer-
ican Kennel Register be ratified, and that the officers be
instructed and empowered to carry out the same.

Mr. Peshall — I move to amend that motion as follows: That
the matter be allowed to remain in the hands of the Presidents
— the parties who have been managing it until closed.

Motion as amended, seconded and carried.

The matter of the admission of the Canadian Kennel Club
was then brought up, and Mr. Robert McEwen, a member of
that clnb, said: Our rules, I think, in spirit, are the same as
yonrs, the only exception being to Rule 2. Our object is to
obtain the recognition of the American Kennel Club. We
wish to act in sympathy with you, and we are endeavoring lo
stir up a feeling in Canada to have a number of shows. A
movement was made last September in that diiection which
was very successful. We would like to have our wins recog-
Dized by you, and we will of course recoguize your wins, and
we will also recognize your disqualifications and suspensions,
and do everything we can to forward the interests of the
American Kennel Club.

Mr. Anthony — I move that the matter be referred to the
Advisory Committee with power to act.

Mr. Leslie — As an amendment I move that the Canadian
Kennel Club be recognized, and that their request be granted
by this club.

The motion as amended, seconded and carried.

On motion the annual meeting then adjourned.

On motion the readfng of the minutes of the previous
meeting was dispensed with, as were also the Secretary and
Treasurer's reports.

Mr. Bennett stated that a meeting of the Gordon Setter
Club was held on February 20, 1SS9. and that the following
resolution was adopted, which he asked be placed on the
record of the American Kennel Club.

Resolved, the Gordon is a blflck and tan setter (with no
out cross of any kind) for three generations, on side of both
sire and dam, Buoh a dog to be known as the American Gor-
don setter, and that dating from January 1, 1889, the dog
must show the 62} per cent, of Gordon blood to be registered
as the American Gordon setter.

Moved and seconded that the resolution just read be sub-
stituted for the one passed at the previous meeting of Decem-
ber 6, 1S8S. Carried.

Mr. W. C. Hudson said he had within the last month pur-
chased a number of red setter dogs, and among them the dog
Kenmor6, which dog was disqualified, as he understood, on
a question of the date of its birth. Since he had become
possessed of the dog he had taken pains to get the exact
breeding of the dog, and he produced an affidavit made by
James W. Hasted on the subject. Said affidavit is as fol-
lows:
City and County of Albany "|

State of New York. j~8B
James W. Husted, of Westchester Co., N. Y., being duly
sworn, deposes and says, he was the owner of the Irish set-
ter bitch known as Red Lassie. That said bitch was when
a pup presented <o him as an imported dog. That snbse-
qiently this deponent turned said bitch over to one Farley
for breeding purposes, with the understanding that he, the
deponent, should have a choice of the litter. That while in
said Farley's hands, said Red Lassie was on deponent's
knowledge in the month of April, 1886, served by Glencho,
and as the result of such service a litter of pups was brought
forth by said Red Lassie, of which said litter the dog Ken-
more was one, and this deponent is now the owner of a dog
named Nikao from the eame identical litter, and that said
dog Kenmore and said dog Nikao. now owned by deponent,
wero both of them born on or before the thirtieth day of
Jane, ISSfi. James W. Husted.

Subscribed and Bworn to before me this 20th day of Feb-
ruary, 18S9. Galen R. Hitt.

Notary Public, Albany Co.
Moved and seconded that the matter be referred to the
Advisory Committee with full power to act. Carried.

At the request of the President, Mr. J. O. Donner now occu-
pied the chair.

On presentation of credentials and on motion, the follow-
ing Kennel Clubs were admitted to membership in the Ameri-
can Kennel Club: Connecticut State Kennel Club, Worcester
Kennel Club, Renssalaer Kennel Club of Troy, Toledo Ken-
nel Company, South Carolina Poultry and Pet Stock Asso-
ciation.

The Secretary reported a communication from the Massa-
chusetts Kennel Club of Boston, Btating the difficulty between
that olub and the MassachuseettB Kennel Club of Lynn,
Mass.; that the New England Kennel Club had resigned as a
member of the American Kennel Club, and not having any
idea that there was such a corporation in existence as the
Massachusetts Kennel Club, the Lynn people had adopted
that name.

Mr. Fay stated that he appeared as President of the Mass-
achusetts Kennel Club, said club being incorporated in 1S77,
and never went out of existence; that they held a charter
received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and that
the Lynn Kennel Club chose for ita name the Massachusetts
Kennel Club; that as soon as the officers were elected they
notified the Lynn club by letter of their mistake and re-
quested them to take some other name. On investigating
the matter at that time he had discovered that the Lynn club
was not an incorporated body; it received no charter from
Massachusetts, and soon after receiving the communication
referred to the officers of the Lynn club appeared before the
Commissioner at the State House in Massachusetts and in-
formed him tb'it the old Massachusetts Kennel Club was out
of existence, and asked that it be incorporated aa the Mass-
achusetts Kenn I Club. The Commissioner aecepted their
statement and g^ve them that name. The speaker further

said that he claimed he belonged to the original and only
Massachusetts Kennel Club, and asked the American Kennel
Clnb to take such action in the matter as they deemed best.

Mr. Leslie stated that they had changed from the Lynn
Kennel Club to the name of the Massachusetts K^nuel
Club in good faith, supposing that the old club had gone out
of existence, as it had not been heard from or recognized,
nor had ic held shows since 1SS2.

Mr. Peshall — I move that in case there are any legal pro-
ceeding taken by one of these olubs against the other, be-
tween now and the next meeting of the Executive Committee
of this Club, the entire matter be referred to the Advisory
Board with full power to act.

Mr. Belmont — I move as an amendment to the motion
that the wins be recognized at the coming show, no matter
under what name it is held.

Motion as amended seconded and carried.

The Secretary reported the resignation of the ■Western
Pennsylvania Society of Pittsburgh, dated December 14,
1SSS.

On motion the resignation was accepted.

The Secretary also reported the fact that the Winsted
Kennel Club had never qualified as a member of the American
Kennel Club, and read a letter stating that they had with-
drawn from said Club.

On motion the Winsted Club was dropped from the roll.

The Stafford Kennel Club was also stricken from the roll
oo motion.

The Secretary called attention to the fact that the National
Poultry and Pet Stock Association of Atlanta had held a
show under A. K. C. Rules, after their admission into the
Club, and that they had never paid their dues or prizes.

Mr. Anthony — I move that this club be notified that if
their wins and dues are not paid within thirty days^f said
notification, they will be dropped from the roll and tfaair
officers disqualified.

Motion seconded and carried.

On motion of Mr. Winslow, the matter of fraudulent pedi-
gree of the dog given by J. M. Waite, as reported by the
Secretary, was left to the Stud Book Committee for report at
the nest meeting.

In the matter of Mr. WieL whose questionable actions, were
referred to at some length, on motion of Mr. Belmont, a
committee composed of Messrs. Munhall and Lee, was
appointed by the Chair to investigate the subject and. report
at the next quarterly meeting.

The matter of the disqualification of Mr. Farley was re-
ported by the Secretary, who read some correspondence
regarding it. It was moved and seconded that the disquali-
fication stand. Carried.

In the matter of the disqualification of DemO'Shea, whose
letter was read by the Secretary, on motion tbe same course
was pursued, and the verdict against him on the minutes
wa« allowed to stand.

Mr. Anthony — I move that the Secretary and Treasurer
who acted for us during tbe last ye^r be reappointed for the
ensuing year.

Motion seconded and carried.

Mr. PeBhall thought the Advisory Committee should take
steps looking to the incorporation under the laws of the State
of New York of the American Kennel Club, as any person
now belonging to the Club was personally liable for any in-
debtedness that might exist against the Club.

Mr. Belmont moved that the cfficers be instructed to get
the opinion of counsel on the subject as to the advisability
of incorporation, and then communicate that opinion to the
various delegates and receive their instructions in writing on
the subject, giving the officers power, in case two-thirds of
the delegates favor the incorporation of the American Kennel
Club, to proceed to the incorporation of the Club.

Motion seconded and carried.

The Secretary reported that the Syracuse Kennel Club and
St. Paul Kennel Club had not paid the registration fees of
their late show, and on motion of Mr. Anthony the secretary
was instructed to communicate with said Clnb and inform
them that if they did not settle up within sixty days they
would be suspended.

Mr. Peshall gave notice that in time for the nest meeting
he would offer an amendment to the constitution and by
laws in regard to the Kennel Gazette.

The meeting then adjourned.

One of the most interesting sights in London, Eng., to a
fancier of dogs is the Dog's Home. There are always from
four hundred to five hundred doga in the Home.

Five days is the legal term of detention for lust does.
Many are, however, kept for weeks or even months. Dogs
with collars get a longer reprieve than others. Any dog of
good breed is spared longer than a mongrel. Of course,
among so large a gathering there must be many worthless
specimens; but there are many doga of good breeding.

About 13,000 are taken to the home yearly, of which 25 per
cent are claimed or sold. Last year about 1.500 restored to
their right owners, and about the same number sold, so there
were about 3 000 'placed.'

"The police see an animal loafing about sometimes for days
together, and then pick him up and bring him in to the
Home. Some days sixty or eighty dogs reach Battersea in a
day, semetimes far less; and olten a dozen might be claimed,
or perhaps only four.

Big powerful dogs are kept on separate chains, but they
are not quarrelsome as a rule, and rarely bite the keepers.
Now and then a man will get badly bitten, but as a rule not
much danger on that score.

The kennels aie all scrupulously clean, and the dog's
benches well littered with straw, and deodorised thoroughly.
They get as much to eat, in the way of Spratt's biscuits, as
they can easily manage, and, poor brutes, thoroughly appre-
ciate the good feeding.

BitcheB with pups are kept in a separate building; they are
often let out aa faster-mothers, and their offspring destroyed.
Foster-mothers, by the bye, don't seem a perfect buccbsh, for
they don't lick their foster-pups, or tend them, as well as
their own mothers.

To wind up, a visit should be paid to the Lethal Chamber,
where a m-rciful end is put to the surplus stock of dogs.
These are collected in a cage, covered with wire netting, and
introduced to an air-tight and gas-tight chamber ''nvented by
Dr. Richardson. The chamber is closed at all parts except
the front; and the cage can be Bhd in with great rapidity.

The narcotic vapour is produced by passing carbonic oxide
over an anaesthetic mixture, composed of chloroform and bi-
sulphide of carbon.

The moment the oage is introduced to the chamber an iron
shield falls over the entrance, and hermetically closes it.
Tbe cbamter is previously charged with vapour, and the full
strength being immediately thereafter turned on, death en-
sues at once by this powerful anaesthetic. In two minutes,
all is over; and to verify the fact a stethoscope communicating
with the outside of the cage gives warning at once if more
gas is needed.

The Rosemeade Sale.

Another great sale to the credit of California, another
endorsement of the claim that this State is peculiarly-
adapted for the breeding of fast trotters. There are
other significant tokens beside the large amountB of
money paid, aDd when a two-year-old untried colt
reaches the long price of $26,000, it is manifest that
there are reasons for congratulation from all the trotting
horse breeders of this State.

Many people are prone to look at the prices in the
same light as those of years ago regarded the tulip
mania of Holland and the Morris niulticulm of later
date, and think that there will be a collapse. That this
is not a reasonable fear can be demonstrated, and here-
after we will endeavor to show that so far as California
is concerned, without foundation.

Dates Claimed.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— At a regular meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural
A«. ociation, held at Los Angeles, ou Saturday evening,
Murch 2d, it was decided to hold the Tenth Annual Fair from
October 14th to 19th inclusive,

E. A. DeCamp, Secretary.

Dr. Proctor, of Petaluma, owner of the promising Young
liny Silky, now in the hands of Mr. Orrin A. Hickok, has
purcbaaBd a four weeks old filly by Pawn, the dam being a

Rapid Calculator.
Through an oversight we have neglected to notice a
very serviceable book which has been sent to this office
with the compliments of the publishers of Goodwin's
Turf Guide. It is really a ready reckoner, or, rapid cal-
culator of penalties and allowances for all horses which
ran in 1888. The horses are arranged alphabetically
under the various amounts won, so that a person can tell
at a glance how, and under what circumstances, horses
were given, allowances or made to carry penalties. Every
horseman in the country should have a copy. They can
be had from Goodwin Bros., 241 Broadway, N. T,

Reciprocity.

Australia makes reductions in the weight of colts,
foaled north of the line (which means those dating their
age from the first of January) of ten pounds on two aud
three-year-olds, seven pounds on four-year-oHs and
four pounds on five-year-olds, the ages being reckoned
from the first of August. Now that Australian -bred
colts promise to be a prominent feature in racing on this
side of the Pacific, it seems to be a fair proposition that
like concessions should prevail, or at least provisions
whereby the differences in actual age should be taken
into consideration. Foals dropped in August and still
later than that would be considered grievously handi-
capped if allotted the same weights as those six mouths
older. It appears to us that a concession can be made
to the mutual advantage of all the sections interested.

Closing of Stakes— Friday March 15, 1889.

That will be a busy day for those having colts to
name in Btakes, as will be learned from the accompanying
list.

RACING STAKES.

LOS ANGELES.

DENVER.

STOCKTON.

TROTTING STAKES.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, SACRAMENTO.

OVERLAND CLUB, DENVER.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLUB, LOS ANGELES.

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ASSOCIATION, STOCKTON.

The Los Angeles meeting is from April 8th to April
13th icclusive; Denver from May 18th to May 25th, at
which time the stakes to close on the loth inst. will be
decided, and the Sacramento and Stockton events during
the fairs of 1889. The advertisements furnish all the
necessary information in regard to conditions, but it will
not be out of place to add something in this connection.

One of the drawbacks to racing and trotting on this
Coast is the lack of spring meetings, and this lack has
been due more to the apathy of owners and trainers than
any other cause. The excuse would be for non-partici-
pation that there were too few meetings to sanction train-
ing in the springtime, but this cannnot be claimed to
be in the way this year. Los Angeles, Fresno, San Jose,
San Francisco, Capital City Turf Club, Sacramento,
Helena, Deer Lodge, Anaconda, Butte City and Denver,
at all of which good programmes are announced. A
more enjoyable trip would be difficult to arrange, com-
mencing at Los Angeles when the town is likely to be
full of Eastern visitors, and when the country is at its
best. There are few days during the whole year that
can be termed, with any degree of truth, unpleasant in
that region, the exceptions, if exceptions there be, when
summer is fully advanced, and visitors from the ^ay
district complain of a trifle too much caloric in the
atmosphere. But April is as joyous and sunny as a
sybarite could desire, and the selection of that date a
wise move on the part of the managers.

Fresno haB advanced so rapidly in population since
the track was constructed, and the surrounding country
keeping up in proportion, that the city is one of the
liveliest on the slope, and the country developing into a
huge garden where Pomona holds supreme sway. Not
entirely given to fruits and flowers, however, as alfalfa
fields and wide acres in cereals attest, and the horse
breeding interests are in good hands. That alfalfa can
be used to advantage in rearing racing and trotting colts
we now believe, and when mares, sucklings and year-
lings having a run upon it and not restricted in their
supply of oats, there is no question that growth will be
advanced. In the many districts of California which
are so well adapted for this plant the Fresno country can-
not be surpassed, and with the foundation of proper
strains of blood, already in a fair supply, there will be
local interests which will tend greatly to the populariza-
tion of the sports of turf and track.

The Santa Clara Valley cannot be too highly extolled.
Although it may be difficult to award absolute promi-
nence to any one section of California where there are
so many worthy of the highest praise, the man who does
not admire that portiou of which San Jose is the center,
hag neither ti-sthutk! or utilitariou views, The late im-

provements to the track, especially the construction of
an inside course, will add to the popularity of the gar-
den city course, and induce people to train gallopers
which under the old state of affairs whould go elsewhere.

The Blood HorBe races will, we understand, be on the
Bay District course, and as this is on the route between
San Jose and Sacramento, the dates not clashing, will give
the Capital Turf Club a good send off. From there
"across the mountains" and the highest encomiums
which can be offered are the praises uttered by those
who have been there before.

The advertisements tell all the conditions, so that
editorial comments on that score are unnecessary, further
than to state that the classification is good and the
purses liberal. That there will be a more liberal sup-
port from owners and trainers than has been awarded
hitherto is nearly assured, and we hope to present in
the Breeder and Sportsman of the 23rd inst., a list that
will insure "capital sport."

The Effects of Tips on Anteeo and Antevolo.

A few days ago we received a letter from a gentleman
in New York enclosing slips from a paper in which the
writer stated that Anteeo's "legs show wear just as I am
assured do the legs of his full brother, Antevolo. Fast
work in tips did neither any good."

Our correspondence writes:

"This ubo of the tip in the place of the full shoe on trotting
horses is, as you know, of very great importance to myself
and many friends. I have tried it on all my horses with
marked success, aud would now feel that I was assuming
considerable risk to trot horses with the full shoe shod in the
orthodox manner. I cannot believe the statement made, and,
therefore, would kindly ask if yon will not, through the
columns of your paper or otherwise, let me know tha truth
in the matter."

There is not a particle of truth in the statement which
connects any injury to Anteeo's legs, and his being shod
with tips, and as for Antevolo, when he left here there
was nothing like any indications of his legs snowing
wear, and excepting a very slight enlargement resulting
from the strain of the inside suspensory ligaiieut of the
near hind leg, his legs were in good condition. So good
that a "competent veterinary surgeon testified that all
that he could discover were two small windgalls on his
hind ankles. It was a matter of surprise to those who
saw him that he could trot in races from a yearling on
and his legs remain so "clean."

When we sold Anteeo his legs and feet could not have
been improved, and such was the general verdict. Not
long before disposing of him, O. A. Hickok, at our
request, made a critical examination, and gave a certifi-
cate as follows:

Oakland, Cal., March 29, 1883.

I have to-day critically examined the feet and legs of Jos,
Cairn Simpson's colt, Anteeo, and hereby certify that, in my
estimation, they could not be in more perfect condition.

O. A. Hickok.

He had never worn a shoe on his front feet until the
sale, but afterwards was shod in the orthodox manner,
and as his feet and legs were not only sound, but entirely
free from spot or blemish of any kind until after being
shod with full shoes, so that if there is any ailment now,
it cannot be ascribed to tips.

The above is noticed entirely to answer the request of
our correspondent, who also calls attention to an answer
in the same paper which, in a case of navicular arthrites,
recommends a course of treatment part of which is
analagous to the use of tips. Mere assertions will not be
received as arguments when tips are so fully endorsed in
England and other countries, that a hundred horses are
thus shod to one a few years ago.

California for Horsebreedinar-

While further representations of the advantages which
California presents for the breeding of race horses and
trotters may appear a trite tropic to some of our readers,
it will always be a subject of interest to those engaged
in the pursuits here, and also to those who are following
the same business in other sections. "Vigilent" in a
late number of the New York Spirit of the Times shows
an inclination to underrate the climatic and other advan-
tages of this Coast, and he comments in the following
words:

We have no idea of running counter to "the belief that
California colts mature earlier than those bred in other places,
a belief maoy others share with Mr. Allen, but we have a
notion, and one we have long held, that race horses can be
bred anywhere, provided you have the right blood, with good
grass and water. The assumption that race horses oan be
bred only in certain places is "rot" and rubbish, started to
sell property in those localities. We have been gravely told
that Kentucky was the only State in the Union where yon
could brped race horses; then Tennessee*, aud now California.
The fact is good race horses have been bred everywhere.
When Mr. Welch had Chestnut Hill, in Pennsylvania, he pro-
duced more good horses than any breeder in the land. Why?
Because Leamington was there, 'n New York we have bred
Glenelp, Olilipi, Ruthless. Over in New Jersey Sir. Withers
bred a lot of two-year-old« which last season pwept the board.
In Maryland they bred Crickmorf, Holiday, t'ateBby, etc Iu
Virginia they bred Eole, St. Savior, Elkwood, Euros, Eoliau,
etc, Tn Illinois they bred Vnlturpo, A '/tec, Aratmo, As to

Kentucky and Tennessee, they have bred more good ones
than we can enumerate, but they have a hundred mares to
every mare elsewhere. Still, it's no nse talking to the public.
It loves hobbies and takes up a cry without reflecting whether
it ia real or fictitious. In fact, the public likes to be played
for fools.

"While there is a good, deal of solid sense in the above,
the implication that our portion of the country is no
better than another will not stand the test. When the
claim is made that the highest class of race horses can
only be bred in oar section, that is absurd, but when it
is modified so as to state, that given the same blood and
likes numbers more good horses will be bred in Ken-
tucky and Tennessee, than in New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, the statement can be substantiated by
logical argument, theories supported by facts. Further-
more when the plea is entered that California excels all
the places named in presenting more favorable conditions
for perfecting physical powers, it does not require a
great deal of space to convince those who have a fair
knowledge of the difference in climate that such allega-
tions can be sustained. There is one trouble, however,
in the way. No matter how well informed a man may
be, when that information is derived from other sources
than actual observation, and that extending over all the
seasons, he does not have a proper conception. Yigilent
ascribes the panygerics on California climate and soil to
"sell property," but what explanation can he offer when
so many concur in laudation who have not an acre to
sell and quite a Dumber of which are non-residents?
When the final resolve was made to "move" to Califor-
nia, we purchased every book we could find, read all the
California papers which could be obtained, bored every
one that had been in the country, and started on the
journey with the feeling of being properly well posted.
The first day was a surprise, and from the time break-
fast was taken among the snowdrifts of the the Sierras
until the bay of San Francisco was crossed and a late
supper partaken of at the Lick House, there were suc-
cessions of startling revelations-
Early in April, not a bud swelling iu Chicago, the
Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska prairies russet- colored and
desolate snow many feet in depth in th*i mountains, and
in the space of a few hours thereafter grain in the bloom
waving in the spring zephyrs, a sea of verdure, flowers
in profusion, never one of the glorious June days of Iowa
more attractive. This was an augury that where vegeta-
ble life was so favored that animal existence would also
be benefited. Where the products of the temperate zone
flourish as they do in California, it is a substantial reason
that horses should also find a congenial home, though
not absolutely a sequence, but when all other conditions
are favorable it would be a striking anomaly if it were
found to be otherwise. A residence of one year con-
vinced us that nothing was wanting on Nature's part,
and that with an equality in procreative animals, some
intelligence in breeding, rearing and training a front
position was assured.

Having on many occasions given the reasons for that
belief, there is scarcely any necessity for repetition, though
it may not be amiss to say that our opinion was not
shared by many Californians, while the giving it pub-
licity in southern papers elicited expressions of ridicule
and charges that the glamour of the "Wonderland"
had upset our judgment.

Fifteen years ago, California-bred horses were little
valued by those who were the main purchasers of flue
and fast horses. Driving and carriage horses were im-
ported in large numbers, and Kentucky, New York and
other States had numerous representatives on this coast.

Outside of the breeding farms, it is rare to see a for-
eigner now, and the drives and tracks of California are
the stamping ground of natives, both to the manor and
manner born.

Oregon sends her quota of carriage and work horses
and some of her trotters, and the specimens we have
seen prove that fertile State will also take high rank as
the producer of fine horses.

Thoroughly satisfied as we were of the superiority of
California for horsebreeding over any country with
which we were acquainted, so long ago as May 1, 1875,
having then been more than a year in the State, that
conclusion was partially based on theory. That has
been so amply sustained by practical results, that
a person so thoroughly conversant with the doings of
California racehorses as Vigilant must acknowledge that
it' the disposal of laud for breeding farms followed, that
it was owing lo the evidence presented and not a mere
'boom" to carry by enthusiasm, that which sense failed to
satisfy. Santa Anita, Rancho del Paso, Rancbo del Rio
and Palo Alto, have sent a full quota of turf winners,
while on the tracks there have been a succession of
phenomenal trotting youngsters far in excess of all
other parts of the country. At home and abroad their
excellence has been shown, and under conditions which
made the demonstration of superior ability conclusive.
But there »re otber use* to wh'-'h California lands can

be put that will warrant much larger prices than the
breeding of horses will justify.

Even a limited number of mares require a good many
acres to give them and their offspring room whereas a
small comparative area will "support a family" when
devoted to purposes which are peculiarly congenial to
soil and climate, and which are restricted to localitie3
that are so favored. Good grasses and water" are not
the only requisites to ensure success in breeding ad
rearing racehorses. These may be found in perfection
where the former is United to a few months in the sum-
mer, where water is congealed into thick ice more thaD
one-half of the year. Uniformity of temperature, pure
air and sunshine are potent aids in physical development,
and also no slight adjuncts in giving nerve force.
Beneficial to colts from the time of foaling until maturity
is reached, not so efficacious, nerhaps, in after life though
still advantageous through all the years from birth until
death.

Man can modify natural drawbacks in a measure ,
overcome low temperature by warm stables and clothing,
and still fall short of what nature hag granted with so
liberal a hand to California.

There has for many years been a dispute abont the pedi-
gree of Roache's American Star. Some two weeks ago we
gave one version of it, and Sam Gamble furnished the fol-
lowing, claiming to know that it is correct.

Roache's American Star, sired by Durlaud's Bolivar, dam
a small bay pacing mare by Jim Thumb, eon of Tom Thumb.

H. G. Coinstoek.

Please give me the breeding of Venture, and by whom
owned in 1S77.

Answer — By California Belmont, dam Miss Mostyn by
American Boy Jr. We do not know who owned him in
1S77, but in 1876 he was entered in the name of Dennis
Gannon. A letter addressed to that gentleman, Oakland
Race track, will probably secure for you the desired informa-
tion.

To decide a bet, I will be under many obligations to you if
yon will kindly inform me what was the highest price
obtained by Mr. Haggin last year for a yearling racer or trot-
ter? and also, was any Pacific Coast yearling sold at a higher
figure than Mr. Haggin's? Your statement will be accepted as
final by both parties.

Answer. — King Thomas, a yearling, was knocked down to
the bid of Mr. Lucien Appleby for $38,000. No other year-
ling has been sold from this coast at any such price.

PEDIGREE,

PRINCE OF NORFOLK, ch c, foaled 1881, by Nor-
folk; 1ft dam Marion by Malcolm; 2nd dam Maggie

Imp. Glencoe; 4fnt am Betsy Mai one by Stockh -lder;
5th dam by Potomac; 6th dam by i-nn. Diomed: 7th
dam by Pegasus, etc. Norfolk, the unbeaten son of
Lexington, is tha sire of Winters, Twilight, Connor,
Ballot Box, Trade Dollar; Flood, Duchess of INorfolk,
Lou Rpencer.the Great Emperor of Norfolk, an many
others. Marion's eire, Malcolm, was one of the first
horses to bring Bonnie Scotl-m t into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the most celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy M alone. The combined speed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who .s a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The blool lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
Is fair to assume that th** get of this stallion willsho
equally well >*ith those of past generations.

I mast Tell yon, It is not Much Meat, but the Ordering of
the Diet, that Makes Horses in Health: Nay, to some Great
and Beady Feeders (as they call it) yon must give but a little
Wheat-Straw; for else they "will he as Pnrsey and Fatr, as
Stall-Fed Oxen: Nay, some again will Eat their Litter, which
is very Foul Feeding. And then the Jockeys use to put then-
Horses npon the Muzzle, which I like not by any Means; for
many Horses grow very Sick upon it, because it doth almost
Smoother them; therefore, in that caBe, I put on a Cavezoue,
and Tie it so Straight, as he cannot Eat, and then he hath
his Kostrils clear for Breath, and is never Sick.

Be sure, that you never Dress your Horse until he be Cold;
for until then, he will not Dress; though I have seen many
Foolish Grooms offer at it, to Dispatch their Work: Nor
Turn them to the Manger to their Meat, after their Exercise,
until they be Cold; for, though you give them no Water, or
but to WaBh their Mouths, yet Eating, whilest they are Hott,
makes ill Digestion.

There is nothiDg Conduces more to the Health of Horses,
than to Keep them three or four Hours before they be Bidd,
on the Watering-Bitt; and after they are Bidd, so long again
on the Watering-Bitt, until they be Cool; and in the After-
noon Turn'd again on the Watering-Bitt three or four Hours.

For worms, it is good to give them Brimstone in their Oats,
and to put Bay-Salt by them, which they will Lick apace;
and Fenugreek, and sometimes a Spoonful of Sweet-Sallet-
Oyl mingled with their Oats. But the most Sovereign Thing
that e^er Iknew, is Honey mingled with their Oats.

Horses of great Exercise, that have often great Heats, as
Horses of Mannage have, mnst be Lett Blood often, and have
Dry Feeding; for, Moist Feeding, and Exercise, breeds great
Corruption: Cooling-Julips, and Cooling-Glisters, (which I.
will set down hereafter) are very Needful to Preserve their
Health.

TO

MAKE A HOBSE.

Have

A FINE COAT.

There are but these Four things, viz.: Feeding Well,
Cloathing Warmly, Many Sweats, and Dressing Well.

ForDressing, there are these things : The Curry-comb, which
only fetches out Dust; the Dusting-Cloth, that takes away the
Loose Dust; the Brush, that takes the Dust from the bottom

ot the Hatr-} the Hard Wife, a little moiftned,
that takes out More Daft yet from him;- and the
Felt a little moiftned, that takes out More Duft
from him afterwards ; but the Wen Hand, which
mould be lafl, takes not only More Dufi, but a
great deal of Loofe Hair, which is much Better
than any of the Former : After this, a Linnen
Cloatb to Wipe them over, and then a Wollen
Cloath, and fb Cloath him Up.

But, the Beit of all is the KmfefHeat, which
is the Scraper; for, when he is Hot, Scraping of
him gets all the Sweat, and Moyfture, out of him,
fo that he is Dry prefently after, and all that
Wett would turn to Duft, fo there is fb much
Labour faved : Befides, it gets abundance of Hair
from him, which the reft doth nor ; fo that it
is the raoft Excellent thing I Know, both to
Cool a Horfe, and to Make him have a Good

Coat.

You muft Wafb his Hoofs firfl Clean, and
then Dry them- and when rhey are Dry,, then
Anoint them • and when his Feet are Picf(dy then

Stofp them with C<m>~Dmg.

In

In Summer he must be Leightly Cloathed in the Heats, and
hisLeggs and Feet allWash't, and his Codds, and his Sheath,
made Clean; for there will be a great deal of Dirt in those
Places else; and his Yard made Clean, and either washed with
Water or White-Wine; his Temples, Eyes, Nostrils, and
Mouth, Bathed with Cold Water, in a Spunge, which will
much Refresh him: Nay, to be Washed all over, and Scrap' t,
is excellent, both for his Coat and Health, and sometimes to
be Wash't with Sope: His Mane to be Wash't and kept
Clean; and sometimes to be Wash't with Sope will make it
Grow; and if the Hair should Fall, then Wash it in Lee, but
not too Strong, for that would fetch it Off: Dress his Mane
Clean every day, and Pleat it up again, which will make it
Grow very much: You must Wash his Tayl very Clean, up
to the very Dock, Dock and all; and often Wett his Dock
with a Spunge, not only to make his Hair lie Close, but to
make it Grow; and also it doth Befresh him very much, and
keeps him Cold handsomely.

But if your Horse hath a White Tayle, wash it never so
clean, yet he will Dye it in his Dung and Urine, that it will
be Yellow, and therefore you must Wash it very Clean with
Water and Sope; and when it is Dry, put it in a Bagg, and
Tie it up, and that will keep it Clean, and White.

Clip his Ears; and no more of his Mane, tban for the Head-
stall to Lie there; and Cut his Tayl a little above his Fetlock,
and Cut it every month to make it Grow. You must Dress
him in as many Various Sorts with Ribbons, aB there are
Colours, whiuh Beautifies him mnch.

He might be well Litterad with fresh Bye-Straw every
Night, and to have Pa6terns on his Fore-Feet keeps him from
much Hurt; but one Pastern on his Hinder Foot, tyed to
the Pillar behind him. with a Leather Bein at such a Length
as he may Lie Down, doth Avoid more Mischief than you can
Imagine: The Woollen Cloath must alwayes be laid upon
his Buttock under his Housing Cloath; You must always
have your Horses to have Hoods, and both they, and their
HouBing-Cloathes Lined with Cotton, or Baies, to keep them
Warm.

Have good Collers, Surcingles, and Padds, and a little Bein
to Tie them up to the Wall or Back; and good Watering-Bitts,
which, as I told you afore, are very Useful. And be careful,
after a great Heat, that you give him no Water till Night,
except only to Wash his Mouth: for it is very Dangerous, and
may Spoyl him Utterly; for, a Horse will be Cool Without,
when he is not Within: and the Worst is but to forbear his
Meat a little, or to have a Small Body, which is muoh Better
than to have no Horse.

Of
SHOOING.

The old Saying, is, Before behind, Behind before. That
is; Before, the "Veins lie Behind: For, you see of his Fore-
feet, there is a great Space on both sides, where there is no
Nayls at the Heel: And Behind, before; for you see in his
Hinder-feet, there is a great Space between the Nayls at the
Toe; because the Veines lie Before, at the Toe; and the
Veins lie Behind, at the Heel: and this is done for fear of
Pricking him. So that the Saying, Before behind, Behind
before, is very True.

You must Fitt the Shoo to the Foot, and not the Foot to
the Shoo, as they do in Flanders, and Brabant; and Open
his Heels as much as you can, Straight, and not Side-wayes;
for that will cut away all his Heels in two or three Shooings;
and the Strength of the Heels, is the Strength of the Foot.
You must Cutt the Thrush handsomely too, and Pare his
Foot as Hollow as you can, that the Shoo may not Press at
all upon his Foot: The Shoo must come Neer to the Heel,
and tit a little from it, and a little Wider than the Hooff on
both Sides, to enlarge the Heel; and that the Shoo may bear
his Weight, more than his Foot.

The Webb must be indifferent Broad; not too Thinn, least
it should Beat into his Foot; nor so Thick, either to Tyre
him, or with the Weight to Pull out the Nayls.

When the Shoo is set On, there will be much Hooff to be
Cutt off at the Toe; for, it must be very Thick at the Toe, if
you do not Pare him but as I have told you ; and when yon
have Cutt it Off, then Smooth it with a File, or Bape, and
thus your Horse will stand so firm, as if he had a little
Polonia-Heel; and hiB Foot so Strong, as not only to go Boldly
upon Stones, but to Break them, and never to Hart his Feet,
or Feel them: For, you will easily imagine, a Man oan bo
much Better upon Stones with Three-Soal'd Shoes, than with
Pumps. Paring a Horses Foot so Thin as they Use, is
Pumps, and makes him Go upon his Heels, as Pumps doth a
Man; and my Way, as I have told you, is, Three-Soal'd-
Shoos, and a little Polonia-Heel.

The Nayls should be Cast in a Mould, with Bound and
Flatt Heads, for fear of Crossing one Legg of another to Hurt
him. This for the Fore-feet.

The Hinder-Feet are to be Shod just in the same Manner
as the Fore-Feet was, both for Opening the Heels, Cutting
the Thrush, and Cutting off at the Toe, to leave it Thick;
only tbe Hinder Shooes must be made Answerable to the
Form of his Hinder-Feet: The Webb somewhat Broad, but
the Naylea of his Hinder-Feet should be ordinary Nayle, and
tbe Heads a little Bigger and Sharper, for Stopping, to take
hold of the Earth, lest he might, with Sliding, Incord him-
self; the Nayls ought to be bo, becauBe a Horte of Mannage
goes on the Hanohes, which is most of his Hinder-Feet; aod
Wears hiB Hinder Shoes twice as Fast as hiB Fore Shooes:
and this is the right Way of Shooing a Horse of Manoage.

A Travelling Horse must also be Shod after the same Way,
but much Narrower than the Travelling-Horse, even with his
Foot, and the Webb much Narrower, or else he willindaDger
to Lame himself, upon 111 Grounds, and to Indanger you
with Falling; besides Pulling off his Shooes.

A RuDning-Horse's Shoes are so Narrow at the Webb, and
so Thin, as they are called Plates, rather than Shooes; it is
not only for Leightness, but that the Fresh Nayls, being
Newly shod, may take Better hold of the Earth, to prevent
Shpping: For, could the Nayls be put ia without Shooes, as
Even, and Eegularly, it would do as Well; but that cannot
be, and therefore you must have Plates for that en^, which is
the only end of Plates.

History of Waxy.

BT VEVl S. GOUI.D, IN WALLACE'S MONTHLY.

To trace tbe pedisree ami history of this now famous mare
it was necessary to 'start from a tradition on ly that she was
by Lexington and was introduced into Cahforma with the
remnan s of a lot of horses which it was supposed came
across the plains somehow-no one seemed to know exactly
how a her owner perished early in the trip and all pedigrees
were lost, as were many of his amma la Beyond th s there
aopeared to be a barrier as inpenetrable as death itself,
wfth such slender material as a basis .t seemed like an
attempt to prove the identity of a wlll-o -the wisp twenty-h,e
vears after it had flashed across the lowlands. Thinking
fhatif ucha conjecture had any foundation in fac the
death ot this man must be recorded somewhere back BU-s of
the local papers were diligently searched day after day, with-
out result. Finally by extreme good fortune, a file of the
California Snirit of the Times of 1S64 was brought to light
in San Francisco, although not obtainable at the office of
that publication. Fortunately this paper which had escaped
all previous examinations, gave the keynote to an investiga-
tion which has continued unremittingly for many weeks, and
at the expenditure of much money and thousands of mileB of
travel in California, Oregon, Kentucky, etc , until this verit-
able sorrel filly Waxy, completely identified, has been traced
to the stable where she was foaled in the year 1863. The
following extracts and statements, some of which are cumu-
lative, but all valuable aB collateral evidence, are referred to
as furnishing the links in a perfct chain.

Extract from the California Spirit of the Times May U,
1864. In giving lists of the animals, the notea and explana-
tions'inclosed in brackets are my own:

"Fine Stock Coming.— It will not be long before the energy,
enterprise and means of the patrons of the turf in California

"Three gentlemen have lately left hero for the purpose of
purchasing fine stock, viz: Mr. John P. Welch and John
Hall, Esq., of California, and Theodore Winters of Nevada

T erritorv

"We have received tidings from the first of these gentle-
men of the most satisfactory nature. Mr. Welch remarks,
in his letter dated April 9th, to this office, that he is gather-
ing together his stock, and woold start in a few days for
California. He has about thirty head, as the annexed list

"In addition to thiB splendid string of thoroughbreds, Mr.
Welch has purchased a number of tine saddle horses. This
ia the largest and most valuable shipment of horses ever
made to this State. We hope all will arrive in good condi-
tion, etc."

August 13, 1864.

"Melancholy Death.— Mr. John P. "Welch, who left here
several months since for Kentucky, for the purpose of pur-
chasing bne stock for this State, died at Fort Lamarie, August
2d, being on his return. Mr. Welch was accompanied by
several members of his family, and doubtless received every
attention possible. The dispatch concerning the information
of his death was addressed to John Anderson, of this city,
but no particulars were given. Mr. Welch was a man uni-
versally respected and esteemed. He was a civil engineer by
profession, and a thorough and competent one. In Oregon,
where he resided for a loDg time, he made many warm and
eameBt friends, who will be pained to hear of his decease.
In a few days we shall be in possession of the details of the
melancholy occurrence."

October 8, 1864.

"Fine Stock. — The Salt Lake Daily Telegraph says, under
date of September 24th, that among other passings to the
Pacific during the present week, waB a fine band of thorough-
bred mares, thirty in number, from Kentucky, where they
t id been purchased for Mr. John Anderson, of San Fran-
cisco, by Mr. John P. Welch of the border State, with a view
of competing with the best blood in the Pacific States. Mr.
Welch and two of his relatives were taken sick on the plains
tnd died on the Sweetwater. A young man brought the
•-.took on to the city and passed westward."

October 29, 1864.

"Fine Stock.— We are in receipt of information from Mr.
John Anderson at Austin, Reese River, Nevada Territory,

which place he had reaohed with a large lot of blooded stock,
consisting of horses and mares purchased id Kentucky.
Some time since, Mr. John P. Welch, an old resident of this
place, left for the Atlantic States, commissioned by Mr.
Anderson to make selections for him from the finest stock
which could be procured. He did so, and was on his return
with a band of horses, but took sick on the way, and himself,
father, and sister died at Sweetwater. Mr. Anderson was
compelled in consequence to go out and meet his Btock,
which he did beyond Salt Lake. We are gratified in being
enabled to state that, notwithstanding the untoward and
melancholy circumstances attending their journey, the stock
is in fine condition. Mr. Anderson left a number of head at
Salt Lake for the winter, and eight head at Diamond Springs,
near Austin. He ib now on his way to this city with the
balance, and we hope to see him in a few days."

December 17, 1864.

"In another column will be found an advertisement of a
sale of thoroughbred stock which will take place at the Fair
Grounds near San Jose, on Tuesday, January 3, 1865. ThiB
stock ia a portion of that purchased by the late J. P. Welch,
in Kentucky and Tennessee last spring, for account of John
Anderson, Esq. 'Ihere are ten lots—six two-year-olds, three
three-year-olds, and one five-year-old, comprising the get of
Revenue, Ringgold, Knight of St. George, Lexington, Jack
Gamble, Vandal and Sovereign. This is the choicest and
most extensive lot of stock that has yet been offered at pub-
lio Bale in the State. The stock is all young and desirable
and of the age to be placed immediately in training."

December 31st the same paper contained another notice,
of whioh the following is a portion: "This stock is a portion
of that imported by Mr. John Anderson, and was selected by
the late J. P. Welch, one of the best judges of .stock ever on
thiB coaBt."

January 7, 1865.

Referring to the sale at San Joae race-course the Spirit
says: "It was slimly attended. The prices obtained were
ruinously low. Mr. J. L. Eoff purchased the two-year-old
bay filly by Revenue, dam Sally Morgan; the two-year old
fitly by Bob Johnson, dam by Brawner's Eclipse; a. d the
brown mare, live years old, by Sovereign, dam Grey Eagle.
Mr. W. Woodward, of this city, was also a purchaser. We
will give a full list of the stock sold and prices obtained in
our next issue." January 14, 1865.

The following prices are given and names of purchasers,
viz:

"Dead.— The bay mare by Sovereign, dam by Grey Eagle,
whioh was purchased by Messrs. J. L. Eoff and William
Woodward at the sale of the late J. P. Weloh's stock at San
Jose in January, died recently by becoming mired at the
ranch of Mr. Woodward, of Napa County. This mare was
the dam of Grigsby's well-known horse Volscian, and would
have proved a valuable addition to the brood-mareB of the
State. We sympathize deeply with her owners in their loss."

[This is a great mistake, as the dam of GriBby's Volscian
was the Grey Eagle mare, and produced several colts after
this date. See William Woodward's statement.— L. S. G.]

"Death of Valuable Stock.— Our friend, Mr. John An-
derson, has had hard luck with the stock purchased for him
at the Eaat, by the late John P. Welch about a year since.
It had an unfortunate time in crossing the plains, consequent
upon the death of Mr. Welch, and several head died during
the journey. Mr. Anderson arrived from Mexico a few days
Bince, and informs us that during hie absence information
was received of the death of the fine horse Capt. Beard, and
a superior Lexington colt named Frank. Capt. Beardwas
nine years old and was by imp. Yorkshire, dam by imp.
Leviathan."

Statement of William Woodward. — "I bought Waxy at
a sale of horses at San Jose Fair Grounds, January 3, 1865.
She was represented to be by Lexington, but I do not remem-
ber anything more of her pedigree. J.L. Eoff and Theodore
Winters each bought a filly at the same sale. After tbe sale
we went to a saloon, and getting a little 'hot,' made a r.ice to
take place in the fall, play or pay, two hundred aDd fifty
dollars each. I sent Waxy up to Nathan Coombs, at Napa,
as he had a ranch and track there, with the expectation that
he would put her in training for our race, and then forget
all about the matter, being engaged in other business, and
never having had anything to do with runners. About three
or four weeks before the race aome one spoke about it, and I
went to Napa to see how Waxy was getting along, but learned
to my surprise, that she had been running around and noth-
ing had been done. She was poor, lousy, and her hair was
coarse and long. Mr. Coombs Baid it was no use to train her,
as she could not be put in any condition to race with Lilly
Hitchcock or Ada C-, both of which were in tine racing trim.
My friends all langbed at me and ridiculed the idea of run-
ning her in such form, but it was 'play or pay,' and bo I put
her in the hands of Bob O'Hanlon, the only man available,
to do the best he could with her. At the race she jumped
away with the lead, and easily outran her competitors beyond
the half; but the lack of work told in tbe stretch, and she
was beaten home. Having no further use for a race horse,
I gave her to Mr. O'Hanlon, and never saw hor after. I
purchased do other horses at the sale, neither did I own one
with Eoff, and am at a loes to understand the article you
clipped from the Spirit of the Times regarding the mireing
and death of a Sovereign mare on my Napa ranch in March,
1865. It is utterly devoid of truth. Mr. Eoff sent Lilly
Hitchcock to my ranch immediately after her purchase at
8an Jose, but a vicious bull on the place attempted to gore
her, and she was taken elsewhere.

Statement of Kob't T. O'Hanlon.— 'Levi S. Gculd. —
Dear Sir: I was lessee of the Sao Jose Fair Grounds in
1864. Late in the fall of that year Mr. John Anderson, if
San Francisco, brought in from the east u lot of colts, fillies
and brood-mares, about fifteen in number, being the balance
of the purchase uf John P. Welcb, who died on the plains
while bringing them from Kentucky. On the 3d day of
January, 1865, this stock was cold at auction at the above-
mentioned Fair Grounds. Among those sold was a light
chestnut or Borrel filly with small star and hind feet white to
the ankles. This filly was purch&Bed by William Woodward,
of San Francisco, who some time after left her with me to
train. I distinctly remember that Mr. Anderson or the auc-
tioneer read her breeding at the sale from a small pocket
memorandum book as by Lexington; dam by Grey Eagle; 2d
dam by Medoc; 3d dam by Sumpter, and that she had crosses
of Bertrand and Eclipse. I am positive of this, and also that
her dam was a grey mare, dam of Volscian, which they had
brought over with her, and am at a loas to understand why
her dam was ever represented as unknown. I trained her,
and she ran as Waxy one race only against Lily Hitchcock
and Ada C, in the winter of 1865, at the Ocean House Track,
San Francisoo. After that race she was given to me by Mr.
Woodward. It was my intention to train her for the next
year, but she was injured in the hip in some mysterious way,
and waB never entered in any race thereafter to my knowledge.
While in my hands she threw Alpha, by imp. Hercules, and
a colt by Clint Malone, which wus afterward stolen; subse-
quently I sold her to John Hall, of whom she was purchased
by Governor Stanford. Having advised Mr Woodward to
purcfiaBe tbe filly Waxy, I naturally took a great interest in
her, and being in the race-horse business at that time, was
very particular in the mattera of breeding, and it is impossi-
ble that I should be mistaken in regard to the pedigrte given
by Mr. Anderson at the Bale. R. T. O'Hanlon.

who was driving a lot of some thirty or more thoroughbreds
selected by him in Kentucky for the California market. He
died at Laramie, and afterward it was my melancholy duty to
bury his sister, who died on the Sweetwater. I was not in
any way connected with Mr. Welch, but was frequently
with the train until its arrival at Salt Lake City, where it was
met by Mr. John Anderson, of San Francisco, who furnished
the money with which to purchase the Btock. Mr. Anderson
requested me to accompany him through to California, and I
did so, assisting in the care of the horses, all of which were
in a terrible condition owing to their wretched treatment
after the death of Mr. Welch. Beside Mr. Anderson and
myself, two younger brothers of John P. Welch came through
— one named James, now dead, and the other lives, I think,
in Oregon, I believe his name was Frank. I am very cer-
tain that they had a list containing the pedigrees of all the
horses whicb their brother, John P. Welch, had in his string.
After crossing the river Jordan, this side of Stilt Lake City,
we lost a very valuable chestnut brood-mare, which
probably went to the stable of some honest Mormon.
Subsequently another mare, one of the best we had, wbb
stolen by a man who came along in the train, and was ridden
away in the night. Pursuit was useless, and so we were
obliged to let her go. Some others died, and we left three or
four at Diamond Springs, Nev., they being unable to proceed
further. Mr. Anderson desired me to go for them in the
spring, but I declined. It is doubtful if any of them ever
got here. The balance of the lot, some fifteen or more in
number, we drove into San Jose, Cal., and left them at the
Fair Grounds in charge of Mr. L. S. Ward. They were in
a deplorable condition. One tilly I particularly remember.
She was a Borrel, with a s mall star and one or two white
ankles behind. She was a perpetual nuisance, and many
times I felt like shooting her. Sbe would run a mile or two
like tha wind, obliging us to follow on our fleetest nags. She
ivas the only SORREL FILLY in the lot, and I am very sure
her dam was brought through with the train.

stock in which he was interested, at the San Jose Fair

aocount of Mr. Anderson, substantially as reported in the
Spirit of the Times, in its issue of January 14, 1865. Mr.
L. S. "Ward, now dead, bid-in others; and there were sales
also to J. L. Ejffand William Woodward, as appears in said

ing them over, but I can recollect nothing of their breeding.

Statement of W. M. Williamson. -—"To Levi S. Gould.
— Dtar Sir: I was at the sale of the horses and mares at San
Jose Fair Grounds, Jan. 3, 1S65, belonging to John Ander-
son. This stock was bought in Kentucky by John P. "Welch,
wno died on the plains while bringing them over. I saw
them often both before and after the sale. They were all in
wretched condition, owing to the journey they had taken.
Among them was a sorrel filly which was purchased by Wm,
Woodward, who gave ber, the following year, to Robert T.
O'Haulon, of this city, by whom she was bred to imp. Her-
cults, the produce being the bay filly Alpha, which won the
great race at Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 26, 1873, beating Joe
Daniels and others, the fourth heat being run in 1:45. Mr.
Woodward named his filly Waxy, under which name she was
run against Lilly Hitchcock and Ada C, at the Ocean House
Track, San Francisco, in December, 1S65, both of the above
fillies having been brought to San Jose by Mr. Anderson,
sold at the same time, and came across the plains with Waxy.
I also remember that Achilles F. Grigsby, now of Napa Co.,
told me in the year 1865, that he held a power of attorney
from Philip Swigert of Frankfort, Ky., to obtain the proceeds
of the sale of certain stock intrusted to Mr. John P. "Welch,
before mentioned, and among others he stated that the Grey
Eagle mare, dam Mary Morris, by Medoc, was the property
of Mr. Swigert; and I am also firmly of the opinion that he

Statement of Achilles F. Grigsby. — "Levi S. Gould.—
In the year 1S65 I received a power of attorney from one
Philip Swigert, of Frankfort, Ky., to sell his interest in a lot
of thoroughbred stock brought to California by John P
"Welch, who was to have a half-interest in the venture. Mr.
"Welch having died on the plaiuB, the stock was bought in by
John Anderson, who met it at Salt Lake, and a Mr. John
"Weston. I corresponded regularly with. Mr. Swigert in re-
gard to the Btock and business connected therewith, and
among other matters he called my attention directly to a
certain sorrel blly sired by the celebrated stallion Lexington,
saving at the same time that she was out of the dam of Vol-
. scfan, whicb stallion Itheu owned, having bought him of Mr.
Swigert in 1860. He said that her pedigree was beyond ques-
tion, and that sbe woald make me a fine brood-mare. I am
certain that I am correct in this statement. This filly was
sold at San Jose Fair Grounds, Jan. 3, 1SG5, and purchased
by William "Woodward. From my recollection of the corre-
spondence between Mr. Swigert and myBelf, I am positive
that he was the breeder of the filly in question, afterward
known as Waxy. The list and pedigree of all the horses in
question were entered in a small memorandum book by Mr.
"Welch, which, after his death, was delivered to Mr. John
Anderson, who was interested financially in the venture, and
in whose possession I frequently saw and had access to it in
settling up the business intrusted to my charge by Mr. Swi-
gert. I also had a list myself, aent to me by Mr. Swigert, of
the lot claimed by him, of which the sorrel filly was one, but
after strict search I am unable to find it. The Grey Eagle
mare, dam Mary Morris, by Medoc, was one of those brought
over by Welch and claimed by Swigert. She was the dam of
Volscian, before mentioned. Achilles F. Grisby.

Statement of Jerry B. Welch. — "My brother, John P.,
was a civil engineer in Oregon several years prior to his resi-

His grandfather was a noted stage proprietor of the olden
time in Harrisburg, Pa., where he used over three hundred
horses in that line of business. John and myself owned a
ranch in the Willamette "Valley, Or., and becoming interested
in thoroughbreds, he determined to visit Kentucky and pur-
chase some of the best blood to be found. As a result he
brought Rifleman, Mary Chilton, which was the dam of Thad
Stevens, and other noted horses to Oregon. Subsequently
he took them to California, and became interested with John
Anderson, who furnished money to return to Kentucky for a
fresh lot about the year 1863. On this trip be purchased a
large lot, and while on his return died at Fort Laramie of
brain fever in the spring of 1864. Such of the stock as sur-
vived were brought through to California by his younger
brothers, James and Frank, who were accompanied by a
man named John "Weston. James is dead, but Frank is a

Statement of L. Brodhead — "Levi S. Gould.— Dear
Sir: I enclose you a list of the maros bred by Mr. Philip
Swigert to the stallions at "Woodburn. Among them you
will observe that in the year 1S61 the grey mare by Grey
Eagle, dam Mary Morris, was bred to Lexington, and season
money paid. In 1862 the grey mare by Grey Eagle was
returned to Lexington without charge, indicating she was
barren in 1862. It was not positive that the grey mare was
barren in 1862, as she may have taken the place of the old
mare, Ann Innis. In 1S63 the grey mare was not bred to
Lexington, indicating that she had a foal in 1S63. The Grey
Eagle mare may have had a foal in 1S62; but as no charge
was made for the season mouey in 1S62, the chances are
she was barren in that year and bred as a return mare. In
addition to the evidence above that the grey mare missed in
1862, I find a memorandum in a blank-book here, giving a
list of mares that missed to Lexington from the service of
1861, and the Grey Eagle mare is in this list. * * * Satter-
white says Dick Jackson was with Welch. I think, with
what you have, the pedigree of Waxy is conclusively proven,
and you can get your article ready. The sooner it is pub-
lished the better. I forwarded some letters to you, and I
hope they gave you some additional information.

Statement of W. Satterwhite. — "Levi S. Gould.— Dear
Sir: Below I give you a statement of all that I remember
about a transaction between Philip Swigert of Frankfort, Ky.,
and a Mr. Welch. I was the manager of Mr. Swigert's farm
from January, 1860, to January, 1865, and had charge of all
his thoroughbred Btock. In the spring of 1S64, Mr. Swigert
made a contract with Mr. Welch to let Welch have ten head
of thoroughbred mares and colts to take to California, to be
sold on Bhares. Below I give a list of those that Welch got:

No. 1. — Bay mare by Grey Eagle, dam the Churchill Mare.

No. 2. — Dark chestnut filly by Vandal, dam No. 1 .

No. 3. — Grny mare by Grey Eagle, dam Mary Morris by Medoc.

No. 4, — Light chestnut filly bx Lexington, dAm No. 3.

No. 6.— Chestnut mare bought by Dr. Warfleld, that we call the
Warfield Mare [Hope, by Glencoe (?>].

No. 6.— Colt out of Warfield Mare, No. 5, This colt was a bay, small,
but very nice, one year old. and I think he was by Swigert's Lexing-
ton (he by Lexington, out of Ann InDis

,;There were four others, but I cannot remember posi-
tively about them. I think there was a filly by Bob John-
son, out of a mare by Brawner's Eclipse, that we called the
'Keenon Mare.' The Vandal Filly (No. 2) was a very dark
chestnut, and very handsome. I do not think she had any
white markings. The Lexington filly (No. 4) was a light
chestnut, with some white markings. 1 think both these
fillies (No. 2. and No. 4) were foaled in 1S63 — am sure No. 4
was. My recollection is that both were yearlings in 1864.
I assisted Mr. Welch in taking the stock from Frankfort to
Georgetown, Ky., and did not see him afterward, but learned
from Mr. Swigert that Welch died crossing the plains, and
thst little or nothing was realized from the venture.

Statament of George McMurtrie. — "In the spring of
1S64, being out of health, I concluded to make an overland
trip to California, and started in company with John P.
Welch, who was in Kentucky collecting stock for the Pacific
Coast. I do not recollect of whom he purchased any of the
animals. We left April 13, 1864, and drove the entire dis-
tance from Kentucky via. St. Louis and St. Joseph. There
were thirty-seven horses and colts if my recollection serves
me aright — many of which perished before I left them. After
the death of Welch, his father and sister, I took the stage
through to California, and telegraphed to John Anderson, of
San Francisco, the condition of thing?, as 1 understood he
was interested in the stock. A man named John Jackson,
dow living in KansaB City, was with us from Lexington.
The stock was in charge of Welch's two younger brothers
after his death — Frank and James J.

many years, was found, and stated that he recollected the
circumstances of the Weloh matter perfectly well. He states
that Mr. Swigert let him have ten head of stock, and they
were to be sold on shares. He says he also remembers that
Mr. Swigert told him later on of the death of Welch, and
that tho venture was a total loss. He says he distinctly re-
collects that the Grey Eagle mare, out of Mary Morris by
Medoc, with her yearling chestnut filly by Lexington, were
in the lot taken away by Welch. Thus the identity of
Waxy is established: First, through the record of sales of
January 3, 1865, at San Jose, Cal. Second, through the
statement of Robert T. O'Hanlon. Third, by that of A. F.
Grigsby, supplemented by that of W. H. Williamson. Fourth ,
bv that of John Weston, supplemented by that of Jerry B.
Welch. Fifth, Ly that of Frank Welch, supplemented by
that of George MoMartrie. Sixth, by the Stud Service-Book
of Lexington at "Woodburn;" and, finally, by the testimony
of Mr. Satterwhite, the overseer of Mr. Swigert at the time
of the transaction with Welch.

Briefly sammarized, Waxy was bred by Philip Swigert, of
Frankfort, Ky., and foaled in 1863. With her dam sbe
crossed the plains in 1864. As a two-year-old Bhe was sold
by auction to William Woodward, at San Jose, January 3,
1865. On the *7th day of December, 1865, at the Ocean
Course, San Francisco, Cal, without proper preparation,
she was beaten in a race against Lilly Hitchcock, by
Bob Johnson, and Ada C„ by ltevenue. This was her
first and only race. Mr. Woodward gave her to Robert T.
O'Hanlon. In her thr^e-year-old form she was permanently
disabled by an injury to her hip, and was bred to imp. Her-
cnleB, the produce being the great race-mare Alpha. Bred
again, she produced a bay colt by Clint Malone, by Owen
Dale, which was stolen. O'Hanlon sold her to John Hall, of
Alameda, Cal., deceased, Irom whom Bhe passed into the
Palo Alto stud, where she died January 24, 18S2. She was a
light chestnut or sorrel, had a small star on the forehead and
two white hind feet. She was by Lexington, and her dam
was the Grey Eagle mare, by Grey Eagle.

As a deduction from tha foregoing history, the pedigree of
the sorrel two-year-old filly by Lexington, sold to William
Woodward by auction at San Jose, Cal., January 3, 1865, is
tabulated as follows, viz:

Waxy, s m.fcaled 1863 by Lexington, dam Grey Eagle mare by Giey
Eagle, (See p. 496, Vol. I. Bruce'a Stud-Book) second dam
Mary Morris by Medoc: third dam Mies ObBtinate by Sumpter;
fourth dam Jenny Slamerkin by Tiger; fifth dam Paragon by
Imp. Buzzard. Bred by Philip Swigert, Frankfort, Ky.

She was sold at the "Willows," San Francisco, Cal., Feb.

10, 1866, to Alexander Gamble, who bred her, as above, to

Lodi. She was again sold by auction of the effects of Alexander

Gamble at Menlo Park. Cal., and purchased by James P.

Sargent, of Sareent's Station, Santa Clara Co., Cal., on whoBe

ranch she died~about four years after. Mr. Sargent is of the

impression that he raised three colts from her not enumerated

above, from trotting-sires, but could not at the time identify

them.
From the above it will be seen that Waxy was a full siBter

to Annette, dam of Ansel, by Electioneer.

Statement of Frank Welch. — "I started across the plains
in 1864. My brother John P. died at Fort Laramie, Wyo.
Ter., on the 22d day of July. My father died in the Black
Hills on the 27th of the same mouth, and my oldest Bister,
Mary, died at Sweetwater, on the 10th of August. My
brother, Jamas J. and myself arrived at San Jose, Cal., with
seventeen horses in November, 1864. I remember the sorrel
yearling filly with Btar in forehead and white hind feet that
came through with the lot to San Jose, Cal. We had a white
mare by Grey Eagle which had a sorrel filly by Lexington,
that I think my brother got from David or Philip Swigert.
A man named John Jackson, also a man by the name of O.
Pope, oame, I think, with them from Kentucky. Pope left

A careful analysis of the foregoing evidence, culled by the
writer through personal interviews with all parties who bave
either made oral or written statements, with a single excep-
tion— that of Frank Welch, who resides in British Columbia
— convinced him that there could be but ooe logical and
reasonable conclusion, viz., that but one scrrel or chestnut
filly came in the lot to San Jose, and that she was one of the
Philip Swigert lot out of the Grey Eagle mare. With thiB
thought in his mind, and a complete history of Waxy pre-
vious to entering the Palo Alto Stud, ho turned his back
upon the verdant and flowery slopes of the Sierras, to prove
his work at "Woodburn," the resting place of the mighty
Lexington. Its courteous and genial manager entertains his
guests as a broad head with a broad heart only oan; and so it
came to pass that every assistance was rendered, and the
fact was brought to light that Philip Swigert bred the
Grey Eagle mare to Lexington in 1861, and returned
her barren in 1862, when she was again bred
to the same horse. To identify the foal of 1863
was the main question at issue. Philip Swigert, a wealthy
banker and breeder of Frankfort, Ky., had been dead
many years. So also was his executor, and his papers
were scattered. Mrs. Swigert, a very old lady, rendered
every assistance in her power, but no proof as to sex, color,
or marks of the produce of that year could be found. In
this dilemma it seemed as though all trace was lopt; but
luckily Mr. Satterwhite, who wad Mr. Swigert's overseer for

The Chicago Horseman Contradicted.

Five weeks ago a paragraph appeared in "Grini's gossip''
which has been extensively copied, and' in justice to the
papers who used the clipping, we deem it necessary to
publish the correspondence on the subject.

Breeder and Sportsman February 9th.

Mr. J. B. Haggin, is reported in a Chicago paper as saying,
"that he had several horses still left in the American Derby,
and from the present appearances and movements of two of
them, either will have little trouble in beating Sam Bryant's
much-talked about Procter Knott, and they'll be there when
the drum taps for the start in the rich event." Mr. Haggin
is a gentleman, and could not possibly use the language
quoted above. He does not brag about his horses in that

sort of style.

Chicago Horseman, February 21, 1889.

"Mr. 'Grim,' of our San Francisco contemporary, seems
too fastidious to mingle with mortals, especially the pa'rons
and supporters of the turf. The eminently proper remarks
concerning the American Derby by a California owner were
strictly correct as printed, although Mr. Grim's womanly
sense of propriety evidently received a severe shook because
an owner expressed his opinion in his own way. Don't be
too zealous, dear 'Grim.'^

Mr. J. B. Haggin—

Dear Sir: Will you be kind enough to look over the
enclosed slip which I clipped from the Chicago Horseman

comment thereon. Please let me know if the language

My Dear Sir: I bave your favor of the 27th ultimo, with
slip of the Breeder and Sportsman. In reply I beg to
express my thanks for the contradiction yon have made of
the language imputed to me relative to my horses. You are
right in Btating that I never UBed any such. In fact, I do
not remember ever to have Bpoken of the American Derby or
the horses I have in it for 1889. Suffice it to Bay, if I ever
did mention the Bubject, it was only to state that I had two
or three entries in it. I need not repeat to you what yon
already know, that I am not in the habitof talking about my

race-horses are too uncertain for a man of sense t

old colt, by Monroe Chief, dam Evu P. by Ben Wade, foaled
April 29, 1887. He is a bright bay, four while feet,' star in
forehead, stripe on face, and has black spots among the white
hair on his pasterns.

VETERINARY.

Conducted by Thos. Bowhill, M. R. O. V. S.
Subscribers to this paper can have advice through this column in all
cases of siok or injured horses or cattle by sending an explicit descrip-
tion of the caBe. Applicants will send their name and addreBS that
thoy may be identified. Questions requiring answers by mail should
be accompanied by three dollars, and addressed to Dr. Bowhill, 1623
California St., San FranciBco.

State Veterinary Society.

The quarterly meeting of the State Veterinary Association
was held at the Baldwin Hotel yesterJay. Hitherto the
meetings have always been held in the qflice of the Breeder
and Sportsman, but as the Society has increased in Bize
rapidly of late, it was deemed expedient to secure larger
accommodations. Dr. Thomas Maclay, of Petalnma, who
wan elected president at the last meeting, occupied the chair,
while A. McCnllum, of Sacramento, filled the position of
Secretary.

Several of the members read essays on the ills which
domestic animals are subject to, on the conclusion of which
animated discussions were indulged in by many of the
gentlemen, the papers read, forming the text for the argu-
ments. The sanitary condition of Butchertown was a theme
on which all present had more or less to say, the general
opinion being that abbatoirti should be builr, as in Eastern
cities, and all animals inspected by veterinarians, appointed
for the purpose, before the animals were killed. Many of
the doctors present attested to the filthy condition of But-
ohertown, and strongly protested against the present arrange-
ments, which at present are a disgrace to the city. The
inaugural address of Dr. Maclay was a prominent feature of
the proceedings, bnt as we have been promised the manu-
script in full, no further mention for the present need be
made of, as the entire address will be published in the
Breeder and Sportsman next week.

George "Warner, Springfield, Mass.

It is claimed that the feeding of oil-meal to young atock
causes them to be unfertile and nnprolific a- breeders.
Would you recommend the entire disuse of this feed for
young stock intended for breeding purposes? If not, what
quantity may be fed with safety to yearlings and two-year-
olds?

Answer. — Overfeeding on linseed or oil-meal cake induces
a septic condition of the blood. Analysis of oil-meal cake
have shown that it contains over 22 per cent, of nitrogenous
materials, whilst dried wheat contains only 12-47 per cent,
of albuminous or nitrogenous compounds. The following is
the analysis of oil-cake by Professor Johnston:

Water 10.05

Muci lage 39.10

Albumen and Gluten 22.14

Oil 11.93

Husk 9.63

Ash and sand 7.25

i 100.00

Excess of nitrogenous matter producing as above mentioned
a septic condition of the blood causes young stook to be un-
fertile and nnprolific in a great degree. I would recommend
your entire disuse of oil-meal, except to give your colts and
fillies about two ounces of meal daily for ten days or bo —
every spring and fall when they are casting their coats.

Thomas Bowhill, M. R. C. V. S.

Stallion Stakes.

That good all round and enthusiastic horseman, Wilfred
Page Esq., of Sonoma County, sends us the following letter,
which is well worth the attention of all horse owners in
California. We shall be pleased to hear the opinions of those
interested in the subject.

is the National Stallion Race to die with the year of its
birth? If breeders will reflect for one moment only that the
starters in the last have since sold for almost unprecedented
prices, it seems to me they should require no urging and
would lose no time in getting up a second 'National;' or, if
advisable, two of them, one free for all, the other for the 2:22
class, with Stamboui 2:14|, Director 2:17, Sable WilkeB 2:18,
Dawn 2;19£, Ansel 2:20, Albert W. 2:20, Palo Alto 2:20^, Bay
Rose 2 :20£, Alcazar 2:20£, Jim L. 2:201 and Mount Vernon
2:21, eligible to the free for all and Menlo 2:2I£, Victor 2:22£,
Juno 2:23, Valensin 2:23, Alban 2:24, Shamrook 2:25,
Mortimer 2:27. Jim Mulvenna 2:27|, Carlisle 2:28$ Albion
2:29, Eros 2:29^ Gossiper 2:29J, Balkan 2:29i, Soudan 2:30
ana Memo, thai 2:201 with others that are a good deal faster
than their records indicate, to fill the 2:22 class. California
should be able, even though not a single eastern entry were
made, to attract such a multitude as would dwarf last year's
attendance at the 'National.'

Or, better still, if Stamboui were barred and matched
against Patron or any other comers from the east, and with
the additional attraction of two and three year old Stallion
Colt Stakes, such a treat might be offered as has never before
been witnessed in the annals of the trotting turf.

Gentlemen and breeders, let us hear from you! Don't let
your best advertising card go by default!

A. Talk With Matt Byrnes.

Matt Byrnes was found this morning in his cosy study,
sayB the Sporting World. He has sold Marsao to C. W. Bil-
lings for $1,500, and Winfield to Walter Olney for $2,500.
He has only one more to dispose of, and that is Guarantee.
He will probably carry the rest through the season. He was
speaking this morning of declaring Firenzi out of all the
handicaps, and said: "Well, it was just this way. She is in
the very beBt of health now, in fact, she was never better in
her life; but she is a comparatively small mare, and the task
Borne people would have had me ask of her, was, in my
judgment, entirely too much. On last jear's performances
she was, of course, properly handicapped; but when you try
to reduce a race-horse to a selling plater's level, by piling on
weight, you are very likely to break down the race-horse.
Why, she is actually asked to carry hurdle weight. It does
not happen more than three or four times in a man's life that
he runs across such a mare as Firenzi; in fact, he m \y train
horses fifty years without even seeing such a one. While it
may have taken him a lifetime to get such a horse, it will not
take him a year to lose her— that is, if he asks impossible
things of her. Then again, Firenzi is never quite us good in
the bpriug as she is later on, and perhaps it is just as well to
save her, especially as there will be no scarcity of racing.
But even if there was hot anotuer meeting during the year,
I would rather retire her to the Btud perfectly sound than
run the risk of breaking her down. She was promptly
declared out of ali the handicaps simply because we did not

want the public to bet on her in future books when we knew
that she would not start."

Byrnes says that all his horses are doing first class, but
that as none of them will face the starter before the spring
meeting at Jerome Park, he is not in any particular hurry.
They are all ready for light work, and just as soon as the
track is in condition he will have them out. He is more
impressed with the improvement Salvator has made than any
horse he has seen, and if the son of Prince Charlie does not
turn out one of the crack three-year-olds, he will be very
mnoh disappointed. He hasgrown greatly during the winter
and is as handsome as a picture, and, what is more, is as
Bound as a horse ever was.

Grim's Gossip.

Russia, a full sister to Maud S., has dropped a foal by
Electioneer.

Many good judges of racing believe that Terra Cotta is a
"cinch" for tbe Suburban.

The horse most fancied just at present by the Coney Island
talent for the Suburban is Prince Royal.

There are two one-mile tracks and one three-quarter track
on the Haggin Stock Farm.

The noted trotting mare, Fanny WithersDoon, lately gave
premature birth to a pair of twins, by All So.

The Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Society will hold their
annual Stallion Show, at San Jose, to-day.

The entries for the Southern California Racing Association
closed yesterday. We will try to publish the list in full nest
week.

Matt Allen, who has charge of Senator Hearst's horses, bai
them further advanced in training than any other lot of
horses at Sheepsbead.

Parties in the East are negotiating for the fast trotting mare
Geneva S., and it is altogether probable that she will change
owners, the price being $15,000.

In the hundred head of horses to be sent east from Palo
Alto Stock Farni, when the annual sale takes place, there will
be forty of the get of Electioneer.

A three-year-old colt, half brother to Judge Murray, has
been purchased for $5 000: G. H. Kernaghan was the seller,
and J. G. Greener the buyer.

Robert Bonner paid a recent visit to Woodburn, and after
critically examining Lord Russell expressed the opinion that
proDerly shod, ne would stand training.

Galore the imported race horse, has had a severe attack of
the strangles, a Bort of throat trouble, but is now much im-
proved. A surgeon has operated upon him.

Race goers in New York hold the opinion that only the
top weights will have any chance in tbe big spring handicaps.
Nearly every turf writer believes this to be true.

Daring tbe severe gale last Wednesday nigbt, about an
eighth of a mile of the fencing around the Bay District track
was blown down. The loss will approach $300.

The new owner of Marsac nas changed bis name to Aces
Up, and it ib to be hoped that with the new cognomen he may
prove as fast as Four Aces, or as good a horse as Jack of
Hearts.

In addition to building up a grand stock breeding estab-
lishment, Mr. J. W. Robinson, of Los Angeles, will send
two trotting mares East this season, to be handled by Knap
McCaTty.

C. W. BilliDgs has purobased of J. B. Haggin, the three-
year-old chestnut colt Marsac, by King Ban out of Miss
Miller. It is probable that he will have him ready ft r a race
before very long.

The celebrated pacer Ubet,with his running mate, was sold
last Tuesday, by Mr. John H. Erby, to K. Brown, of hotel
fame, Omaha. The prioe is stated to be $7,500. Ubet and
mate's time is 2:07$.

The New York World, in addition to devoting a column
and a half to the sale of the California horses, also
gives pictures of five of them, and passable portraits of Messrs.
Rose, Corbettand Valenain.

Landlord Seymour, of the Rubs House, was out on the
road last Saturday with his magnificent four in hand. His
skillful handling of the ribbons proves Mr. Seymour to be a
thorough horseman.

Mr. J. B. Haggin has made 203 entries for the Monmouth
Meeting, Senator Hearst having 129 entries. The Maltese
Villa Stock Farm and E. J. Baldwin's entries had not been
reoeived at last accounts.

There are many who think that old Barnum will be able
to face the starter once more. Since his retirement from the
abominable tracks at Clifton and Guttenburg, the faithful old
horse has improved wonderfully.

Gentleman interested in driving and racing are agitating
the track question at Suisun. There is so much interest
manifested in the matter that my correspondent ■writes me
that it is almost bound to be successful.

Two weeks ago a gentleman advertised in tbe columns of
this paper for the address of Joseph Matthews who formerly
worked for General Bidwell at Chico. Mr. Matthews writes
to Bay that his address 1b still Cbico, Butte Co.

Quite a number of persons have tried to purchase Baron
Wilkes, but heretofore Col. Stoner has refused all offers. A
few days ago on being aBked to name a price for the noted
Btallion he at once replied $75,000 will buy him.

Mr. G. Valenain, of Pleasanton. has purchased from W. H.
Wilson of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., the fast four-year-
old Duke Simmons by Simmons, first dam by Btrathmore,
Becoud dam by Clark Chief, third dam by Strader's Clay.

Mr. J. D. Spreckles of this city, has purchased from Mr.
John Corbitt of Sonoma county, two colts, one four years
old and the other five, both by Alexander, sire of Alexander
Button, sire of Yolo Maid. The price paid is said to be $600.

My Denver correspondent writes that the horse industry is
receiving more attention than ever before. At least 150 racers
are wintered at tbe Overland Park Club now, and there are
additions almost daily. The outlook for tbe May meeting is
splendid.

Jessie Ballard. 2:25, the property of "W. J. Robinson, of
Los Angeles, will be bred to Stamboul within a few days, Mr.
Rose having wired permission from New York. She will be
th^ only outside mare to receive service from Mr. Hobart's
late purchase.

While politics are always tabooed in the columns of tbia
paper, I cannot help mentioning that Gen. B. F, Tracy, tbe
newly appointed secretary of the navy, iB the owner of
Marshland Stock Farm; the premier stallion of which is,
Mambrino Dudley, 2:19|, sire of Crescendo, 2:24, and Gretna,
2:49$.

The St. Louis Republican speaks of the crack Californian
Ganymede. It is hard to determine why the Grinstead colt
should be termed "a crack," for although he started ten times
laBt y6ar, he only won once, and then in leBS than ordinary
company.

All Eastern journals have a good word to say for Spokane,
belonging to the Montana stable. Three months ago I
warned the owners of Galen, Salvator, Prootor Knott and the
Favordale colt, to watch Spokane as he is known to be very
speedy.

Many have doubted the wisdom of breeding Marion last
year to Joe Hooker instead of Norfolk, as has beef done bo
many seasons, but they will be pleased to henr that the dam
of the Emporer of Norfolk, etc., has this year been stinted to
to old Norfolk once more.

The late Turf Congress abolished the allowance of three
pounds to geldings, and yet in Australia the turf authorities
are going to increase tbe allowance to five pounds, tbe ob-
ject being to encourage tbe gelding of horses, as the country
is overrun with stallions of inferior quality.

I regret to learn that Mr. J. H. Shults has lost the services
of Panooast, sire of Patron, 2:14}, through the accident that
happened last June, when lightening struck the stable.
PancoaBt was so injured at the time, that he lost his sight,
and was bo paralysed that ho can never do stud duty again.

A prediction was made in the goBsip columns a few weeks
ago, that Shelbv Barnes, the noted light weight jockey,
would ride for the Dwyer Bros, this season. The rumor is
now verified and "Pikey" will have to answer to a second call
on hiB services, from the owners of Hanover, Sir Dixon and
Kingston,

Richard Barnes, of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been expelled
from the American Trotting Association by order of tbe
Sixth District Agricultural Association of Los Angeles; also
J. Sorenson, of Portland, Oregon, with his mare Susie S. by
order of the Washington Territory and Idaho Fair Associa-
tion. The way of the transgressor is bard.

A grandson of Geo M.Patoheu Jr., viz. Alex. Button 2:26£,
sired Yolo Maid, three-year-old pacing record, 2:14! A
granddaughter of Geo. M Patchen Jr. viz Glidey by Gladia-
tor produced, Almont Patchen, pacing record 2:15! Both
records were made in 1888. Where is the next stallion which
can show two such creditable grandchildren in one year?

Wanted, a combination sale of California trotting bred
colts and horses to take place under cover at Sau Francisco,
between January 15th and February 15, 1890, just about the
time eastern breeders wish to come and thaw out a bit.
Such an institution would prove a great boom to small
breeders on this coast.

Dan McCarty has returned from a two weeks trip through
the Southern portion of the State. He reports breeders as
being enthusiastic over the prospects, and thinks the stock-
men in that section are fully alive to the merits of per-
formers and producers. He made several important pur-
chasers while away.

M. Saulsbnry, Esq., has been asked to name a price for
Direct, by a Boston gentleman. Not being anxious to sell
the fast young stallion, a very large amount was named, and
an expert has already examined him to see if the horse war-
rants the price aBked. In all probability Boston will capture
another of our fine trotting horses.

Col. R. H. Warfield, the well known bankerof Healdsburg,
was in the city during tbe early portion of the week, and in a
lengthy conversation with the gentleman I found that he
was as well posted on home matters as be is on finance. It
is to be hoped he will find time to put his shoulder to the
wheel with "Wi'fred Page, and become one of the promoters of
the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association.

Jockey McLaughlin says that Ben Ali was the meanest
brute he was ever astride of. "When that horBe wanted to
win," said he, "be was usually the best one in the race, but
if he took a notion to stop I don't believe prodding him with a
red-hot iron would have induced him to strike a winning gait.
He was the only horse that I ever saw that really had a mind
of his own. He couldn't and would not be persuaded to do
his duty."

The American Cultivator, of Boston, in alluding to the
sale of California horses at the late New York sale, says,
"most men who went from the vicinity have been busy for
some time collecting accounts and banking the funds. Many
of them left with firmly set teeth and blood in their eyes,
which indicates that somebody must pay a pretty stiff figure
for their favorites. At this time it would be easier to attempt
to tell who stayed at home than who attended the Bale."

"Hark Comstock," one ol tbe keenest students of the
breeding science and a close observer of its progress, recently
remarked that in selecting a sire it is wise to choose a good
individual bred in fashionable lines, but it is wiser to go
further and select from a strain that has produced famous
animals, and thus have a relative of horses that are constantly
coming into public notice.

On tbe 12th of last October, I saw the Illusion Stakes,
mile an an eighth, heats run for, at Jerome Park, the con-
testants being Yum Yum and Banner Bearer. Word reaches
me from New Orleans that Mr. Lamasney's horse is only now
recovering from the effects of the fearful race Yum Yum gave
him, and for many weeks it seemed doubtful whether Ban-
ner Beaver would ever face the starter again.

There is a gentlemm iu Kentucky, who in advertising his
stallion (an Electioneer), states that Addie is tbe dam of
Mannette trial 2:19jj. I should very much like to know
where and under what circumstances, Mannette ever made
suoh a trial. If it is a fact, then Mr. Wilfred Page's stallion,
Ecleotic, should be a rare good one, as Mannette is also the
dam of Wooduut 2:16* an* vr«nnn 2:21, (trial 2:151).

Some of the young men in our town, says the San Leandro
Reporter, who have been in tbe habit of speeding their
horses happened to meet last week, and in a discussion which
followed as to tbe relative merits of tbe horses no agreement
could be reached. The outoome was that a race was pro-
posed and the following Gentlemen entered their horses and
deposited twenty-five dollarB with Mr. J. A. Gallett as stake-
bolder. Mr. Carl Iversen enters Maud S.; Mr. John Lavin
of the Junction House enters Junction Maid; Mr. Frank
Webber enters Modjeska, and Mr. P. Matthews enter* The
Little Wonder. The race will take place on Sunday, May
11th, at the Oakland Race Track, and will be for the best
two heats out of three.

Mr. Craig of Sacramento is at the jjGrand Hotel. He has
come down to purohase some fine stock about which he has
been corresponding.

The New York Spirit of the Times says: "Orrin Hickok
has made an assertion that he has a young pacer that can
beat any pacer in the world. The Sire Brothers say that he
oan be accommodated by them if he will come east, and will
match the pacer GoBsip Jr., against him for any amount of
money. This is a bona fide offer." Yes, it is to be presumed
that it is bona fide, but has not Frank Van Ness also a pacer
that he could enter? It might not be a bad idea for the Sire
Brothers to wait until they are re-instated before they offer
to make matches with gentlemen.

Space is so limited this week that it is not poaBible to give
the odda on all the horses entered in the Brooklyn and
Suburban Handicaps, as announced by Cutler and Whitney
who advertise this week, but the principal horses are laid
against as follows: Brooklyn Handicap, The Bard, 25: Terra
Cotta, 35: Hanover, 40; Eurns, 40; Egmont, 40 Gorgo, 45;
Prince Royal, 45; Raceland, 50; Exile. 50; Elkwood, 50;
Belvidere, 50; tbe balance ranging from 60 to 150 to 1. In
the Suburban; The Bard, Terra Cotta and Hanover, each 35
to 1 ; Eurus, 45: Egmont, Aurelia, Elkwood, Yum Yom and
Gorgo, 50 eaoh; the balance being from 55 to 150 to 1 each.
Next week I shall try and give the odds laid against all the
entries.

Killip & Co. announce that on Tuesday, March 26th, they
will sell at public auction, various consignments of horses,
consisting of Normans, Clydes and Shires. They are all
pedigreed animals and warranted as represented. Farmers
interested in draft horses shonld not let this opportunity
esoape to secure a first-class animal, for it is rarely that such
a lot aie offered at public sale. The different consignments
may be seen daily at the Bay District track, where every
facility t > examine them will be offered by the parties in
charge.

In the advertising columns, Messrs. Killip & Co., the
popular firm of auctioneers, make an announcement that
should arrest the attention of all who either own short horn
cattle at present or who contemplite going into that most ex-
cellent breed. The splendid herd of Mr. W. H. Howard, is
offered absolutely without reserve. Mr. Howard bas made
the San Mateo Rancho notable as a Short Horn centre, and
his herd comprises many registered bulls and cows, beside
fifty head of high grade cows and heifers selected from the
famous milking herd of the rancho. No greater special in-
ducements have ever been offered to purchasers, the cattle
being thoroughly acclimated, and accustomed to California
ranges.

Catalogues may be had either from Messrs. Killip & Co.,
22 Montgomery St., San Francisco, or from Mr. W. H. How-
ard, 523 Montgomery St., San Francisco.

In alluding to the great sale in New York, the Times says,
Scott Qumton's purchases are for the recently established
stock farm "Kosemede," near HeleDa, Mont. .which is nomin-
ally conducted by Marcus Daly, who represents tbe syndicate
whieh recently purchased Favonia for $15,000. It is under-
stood that Mr. J. B. Haggin, tbe famous thoroughbred
breeder, is back of the enterprise, Mr. Drly being the man-
ager of Mr. Haggin's Anconda copper mine. Mr. Haggin, if
he is the backer of the enterprise, *as a iurge and liberal
buyer, and that is perhaps the reason why Scott Quinton wsb
able to shake off all opposition from any horse he
really wanted, even that of the Brookhn millionaire baker,
John H. Shults. who bid $25,000 for Mascot, and who alone
fought for the prize after Luke Broadhead, David NevinB and
others dropped out, when the bids, which began at $5,000,
reached $20,000.

Mr. Rose is a curiosity among horse breeders, as on three
or four occasions be pointed out defects in his horses which
would have escaped a casual observer, and which affected the
prices of the animals considerably. In a half dozen instances
he offered to buy the horses purchased at an advance of from
$100 to $200, bnt in no case did he succeed. In the caae of
one filly bought by John E. Madden, he without any necessity,
offered to pay all training expenses and buy her back at the
sale price if she didn't prove a first-class trotter. There was
an air of honesty about him that caught the public, because it
waB a decided novelty.

A few evenings ago I bad the pleasure of viewing privately
the paintings which will in a short time decorate the walls of
the Baldwin Hotel. They are seven in number, and com-
prise the principal horses on the Santa Anita Ranch. The
first iB a full size portrait of the Emperor of Norfolk, in whioh
every look of that grand horse is clearly depicted, and to add
to the surroundings two of the colored lads who were with
the Btable last year are seen iu tbe act of throwing "craps."
A homestead scene Bhows the Queen Ann cottage and fish
pond, with Mr. Baldwin and his daughter, Anita, in the fore-
ground, surrounded by a pack of Mastiffs. Grisette is the
leading feature in another of the pictures, with a group of
famous brood mares close at baud. Volflute is depicted
standing in froi t of tbe "smithy,' |with the blacksmith in the
attitude of rolling np his sleeves. Grinsiead, Mr. Baldwin's
especial favorite, is presented near a stable, with the stable
boys exercising boises a short distance away. In the pros-
pective we see old Baldy covered with snow, this pictuie
being a particularly happy one in light and shadow. Los
Angeles, Miss Ford. Calieote, Silver Cloud and Gobi h are
alio seen in others of the paintings, thetntire lot making the
most handsome collection to he seen ou the Pacific Coast.
The artist, Mr. H. H. Cross, of New York City, also bas with
him, a life Bize picture of Electioneer, which iB pronounced
by many to be a perfect gem, and it seems to the observe
that at almost any moment the horse would step out i
canvas. They are an exquisite lot, and reflect great
the talented artiBt.

THEGUK,

California Wing Shooting Club.

A worse day than Sunday last for pigeon Bhooting could not
be imagined, the rain pouring heavily and the wind swishing
the water into the eyes of the Bhooters, draggling the birds,
making the footing sloppy and generally spoiling things.
Nevertheless, ten thoroughbred members of the California
Club went down to San Bruno, by the 10:39 train, and began
the firBt club match of the season, among them Champion
Crittenden Robinson and the two most recent accessions to
the club, Messrs. Lewis and Smith. Messrs. Haas and
Sperry came from Stockton solely to shoot in the match.

The ground has recently changed hands, Mr. Dick Cun-
ningham having leased the hotel and all his lands to a new-
comer, who promises all sortB of improvements, and declares
an intention to cater carefully to the wants of trap shots.

Shooting began as soon as the party reached San Bruno,
and progressed through five rounds when the storm became
so severe aB to preclude anything like satisfactory work, and
the sport was Guspended, to be concluded at the next regular
meeting of the club, on April 14th.

Three members, Messrs. Robinson, Knowles and Haas tied
on four out of five, Mr. Haas using his second barrel but
once. Mr. Fay, skylarking as nsual, let three escape. Mr.
Sperry also allowed three birds to die out of bounds. Score:

At 12 birds. Hurlingham. For club prizes.

All Round Shooting.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — We have just had a
regular all round shooting match here, and as such an event
ib of rare occurrence, I will give your readers a resume of
the shooting.

As the weather has a good deal to do with all out of door
sports, it is as well to state that the 26th of February was a
lovely day, bright, clear, warm, and with but little wind, so
that when Messrs. Z. K. Straight and A. W. DuBray, both of
Walla Walla, commenced Bhooting, which they did at about
1:30 p.m., everything seemed favorable for the making of
big scores.

Tho conditions of the match were as follows:

25 shots, any rifle, globe and peep sightB, 100 yards off-
hand; Creedmoor target.

25 shots any calibre, 44 100 revolver, 50 yards offhand;
Creedmoor target.

15 single live pigeons, 30 yards rise, 5 ground traps.

5 pairs live pigeons, 21 yardB rise, 2 ground traps.

15 single Peoria Blackbirds, 2 traps screened 10 yards apart,
Feoria bird rules.

~5 pairsiPeoria Blackbirds, 2 traps screened 10 yards apart,
Peoria bird rules.

The match commenced with the pistol shooting, then rifle,
then live birds, and last the Peorias, and the Bcores were as
follows:

One word as to the pigeons. Out of the tifty birds shot at
there was not one that was anything but a clipper, while at
least eight out of ten were either Btraight away zig zag going
drivers or right quarterers. The writer frankly confesses that
he never saw as many hard birds, for at the opening of the
trap the birds darted out, never getting more than a couple
of feet off the ground; and had tbey been made up of Bteel
springs and electricity, it is ""doubtful if they could have
whizzed along any fatter. Each man on the singles lost one
dead out of bounds. The doable bird Bhooting was poor, but
it must be remembered that with such bird cork-Bcrews it
is extremely bard to kill them all. These birds bad all been
shot at frequently were all old ones and had been cooped
only a few hours befoie the match.

The Peorias were thrown full force and medium low going
from 50 to 55 yards, so these also were rather lively to oatch
u-(. and considering the little practice Mr. Straight naB had on
puch birds, his shooting was certainly remurkable.

The match throughout was conducted in an orderly man-
w, and many of our best citizens witnessed the Bhooting,
./bile it was freely admitted that as an all round Bhoot noth-
...,,■? of its kind had ever been 6een here before.

Both men used Smith <fc Wesson revolvers, WiocheBter
hingle shot 32-20-115 rifles and Parker 12 gauge shot guns in
which latter they shot the justly celebrated Selby Standard

Cartridges so that their battery and ammunition were as effi-
cient as this world can produce as to accuracy, reliability
and effectiveness all the way through, and it will be many a
long day before we have as rjleasant and enjoyable an affair
of this kind again. Gaucho.

Walla Walla, March 2, 1889.

The Blue Rock Olub.

The club will hold its first monthly competition for the
season of '89, at Adams Point this afternoon, beginning at 2
p. m. Visitors should go to the boat house at Lake Merritt
in Oakland, from whence they will be carried to Adams
Point by a steam launch. The club has been in existence
two years, and its meetings have invariably been occasions of
muoh pleasure. The match to-day is at twenty single Blue
Rocks and five pairs.

Succeeding matches will be shot on Saturday, April 13th.,
at ten single Blue Rocks, Hurlingham, and ten pairs on
Saturday, May 16th.

A walking match at thirty singles, on Saturday, June 8th.,
at thirty single Blue Rooks.

The officers of the club for the year are president, J. O.
Cadman; vice-president, W. E. Mayhew; captain, Dr. S. E,
Knowles; Major, S. I. Kellogg.

It is especially requested that the Secretaries of the trap
shooting clubs will send the offie:al scores made during the
coming season. It is the desire of the Breeder and Sports-
man to present perfectly accurate resumes of all sportsman's
events, and there can be no better authorities than the
recording officers of the clubs. Scores and reports should
reach this office not later than Wednesday.

Mention has often been made of the art work of Mr. E.
W. Moore, the champion amateur shot of the Northwest and
one of the truest sportsmen of the country. Mr. Moore's
crayons of scenes in the field and of noticeable dogs are very
tine, bnt he has recently outdone all previous efforts by
securing several photographs of friends in the act of shooting
swans and canvas backs over decoys near Portland. The
pictures tell a story that every sportsman must read with
interest, and they haye beside, much value because they
show the approved method of making blinds and setting out
deooys.

THE KENNEL.

The official organ of the English Kennel Club, the Kennel
Gazette, in the last issue says: "Mr. John Lee Bulled has
entered into partnership with Mr. Le Brnette, of Jefferson,
Wis., U. S. A., and their dogs are being shown and run in
Field Trials on both sides of the Atlantic in the name of the
firm. Mr. Bulled has just shipped to his partner, from Glas-
gow, by a Bteamer specially chartered for carrying horses, a
strong team of dogs. This includes the pointers Molton
Baron, Witheridge Sambo, Devon Betty, and Devonshire
Belle; the blue belton Devonshire Fan, a brace of American
Gordon setters, Devon Grouse and Devon Mona; the grey-
hound bitcheB Carmine and Legal Coin, and three puppies by
Molton Baron — Village Star. As some of the bitches are in
whelp the consignment is an important one. Some pointers
and setters entered for our Field Trials by this firm will leave
for Wisconsin immediately after the running.1'

Mr. John White, of Bridgeport, Conn., who has for many
years been in the service of Mr. F. R. Hitchcock and other
distinguished sportsmen as a dog trainer, recently proved
that he possessed a tenderness of spirit and a delicacy of fan-
cy hitherto unsuspected. About Mr. Hitchcock's pointer
Tammany which died recently, John White writes:

Here Ilea Tammany the peer of all his race,
First to welcome, and foremost in the chase.
His deed", record; his menory, crown with fame,
Ye canine eons, arise! commemorate his name.
Faithful to his master, and ever true was he,
For him alone he lived and sought for victory;
And from many a well-known champion's son
The honors of the day be won;
If evr beyond this life there he
A place where all our friends we'll see,
Then, Lord of all the planets seven,
Lot me have old Tom to hunt in Heaven.

O. Morgan, Lob Angeles, the stone-gray mastiff Napoleon,
whelped January 8, 1889, by Wellington — CaBsandia.

From Los Angeles-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I think it will hardly
be possible for us to condition our mastiffs for the Pacific
Kennel Club show. The recent whelping of Caesandra has
put her much out of form. We will, however, make every
endeavor to have some entries, and since you hold out your
hand for a shake in so kind a spirit, we will be present any-
how.

I would like to know the price of the American Kennel
Stud Book referred to in your last issue, and where I can get
it. I shall write you notes about all of the good dogs owned
in this vicinity as soon as I have seen them.

[The A. K. C. Stud Book costs $2 per volume, and may be
had on application to A. P. Vredenburgh, Secretary A. K. C,

coming volumes is to join the A. K. C. as an associate mem.
ber, and receive the "Kennel Gtzette" and Stud Book upon
the payment of $5 aunual dues. — Ken. Ed.]

Pacific Kennel Club.

The Executive Committee of the Pacifio Kennel Club met
at 419 California street last Monday night to hear reports of
the sub-committees appointed to arrange various details of the
dog show to be given from May 22d to 28th at Mechanic's
Pavilion.

The Committee on Premium LiBt reported that the list,
tugether with accompanying entry blanks, would be ready
next Saturday, and would be sent to all fanciers on the
Pacific Slope within two weeks.

On suggestion of Mr. Briggs a class for Airedale terriers
was added to those already listed, and prizes of $5 and di-
plomas ordered.

The committee to select a superintendent, Messrs. Sohrei-
ber and Briggs, reported in favor of E. H, Williams, and he
was chosen to till the place.

It was ordered that do dog be received at the Bhow unless
provided with a suitable, strong, plain leather collar and
chain of strength sufficient to bold the animal beyond possi-
bility of breaking.

Letters from James Mortimer of New York, and John M.
Tracey of New Haven, were read, in which the writers inti-
mated their willingness to judge at the club show, but plead-
ing previous engagements.

Mr. Briggs was appointed a Bpecial committee to arrange
for supplies of food for the dogs during the show.

Chairman Haught and Messrs. H. R. Brown, H. W. M.
Sandbach, William Soheiber and T. J. O'Keeffe spoke encour-
agingly of the prospects for a good show, and said they were
sure more than 500 dogB would be shown, besides a full
exhibit of poultry and pigeons.

Occidental Coursing Club.

The annual meeting of the Occidental Coursing Club was
held on Wednesday evening last at 324 Montgomery Street,
President S. O. Gregory in the chair.

Treasurer Abbot, in makiDg his Annual report, said that
twelve months ago the club had about twenty members, all of
them coursers of the better eort, whose interest waB in sport
simply, and not in any pecuniary advantage which might
result from connection with coursing. The club had held
three meetings, all of which had been successful, whether
considered in point of attendance or in the excellence of the
dogs which were entered. The; club had demonstrated the
possibility of giving thoroughly good meetings without tbe
pool box or saloon accompaniments. In spite of the great
expenditures, the club was solvent and in a muoh better con-
dition every way than a year ago. A peculiarity of the field
meetings had been the very large number of ladies present,
all of whom had enjoyed the excitement.

His cash statement was as follows:

Balance on hand March 13, 1888, $9.85; received for en-
trance fees and dues during the year, $196.50; Expenditures
— Stamps and stationery. $5.30; printing, §30.50; sundries,
including prizes, etc, §156 90; total, §192.70. Balance on
hand March 12, 1889, $13.05.

Messrs. T. J. Cronin, E. E. Wilson, John M. Adams and
F. C. Zimmerman were elected to membership.

On motion of Mr. Abbot the by-laws of the club were so
changed as to make the initiation fee $5 in place of $1, the
sum hitherto paid.

The resignation of Dr. J. M. Sharkey from active member-
ship was offerBd and accepted and that gentleman was elected
to honorary membership in recognition of his lifelong devo-
tion to coursing.

The prizes won at the meeting on February 22d were then
presented by President Gregory.

The owner of the winner, Pat Molloy, received $50 and a
crayon portrait of the dog. The picture was by Mr. H. Boyd,
one-third nf the size of the dog and a very accurate likeness.

Jas. E. WatBon of the runner-up Saturday night, received
$30.

It was moved by Mr. Briggs that at all future meetings
crayon portraits of the winner and runner-up be ordered to
form either the whole or part of the prizes offered.

The motion met with general approval, but action was
deferred until the monthly meeting.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, S O. Gregory; Vice-Presidents, T. J. O'Keefe, D.
W. Swain, Thomas Hinds, S. J. Milliken; Treasnrer, S. L.
Abbot Jr.; Secretary, J. F, Carroll; Executive Committee,
H. E. Deane, H. Wormington, H. Boyd, J. E. Watson, R. E.
Wilson.

A vote of thanks was tendered to the Breeder and Sports-
nan, tbe American Field and the daily press, for fell reports
of all meetings and general encouragement of the club dur-
ing the last year.

Stella Alive.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I see by the last issue
of your paper.-tbat I ("J. R.'' which should be K. M.Dodge)
had shot my bitch Stella. I am happy to say you were misin-
formed. Stella is welt and hearty, but had the misfortune to
lose her puppies. She was watcbed very closely, but they
were never Been.. I am inclined to think she ate them.
Have you or any of your readers, ever heard of a bitch eating
her young. There is no doubt of her having had one or more.

Salinas. K. M. Dodge.

[We shall be pleased to receive answers to Mr. Dodge's
query from such readers as may have had experience. We
once owned a bitch that devoured two successive litters. Ken,

A Winniner Courser.

The recent successes of Colonel North, the English courser,
have made his name universally known. An English writer
Bays of him and his dogs:

"Colonel North began his coursing career at the beginning
of last season, his first purchases being, we believe, the Irish
puppies, Duke Macphersou, Mask Man and Mane Maid.
The two latter failed to realize their early promise, but with
Duke MaopherBon the Colonel nearly won the Waterloo Cup
at the first time of trying, for it will be remembered that the
Duke won five courses before succumbing to Barnaby in the
final. It was a cruel piece of luck that the dog Bhould have
died in October last, of distemper, and before he had had
another cbanoe of distinguishing himself. The other two
greyhounds whioh reached the semi-final stage of last Water-
loo Cup, Dingwall and Caterham Apostle, were both pur-
chased by Colonel North after their prominent running, and
the former, after beginning very badly for his new owner,
captured the Scarisbrick Cup at Southport last week, this
being the most important event that has yet fallen to the
subject of our Bketch.

During tbe present season several small stakes have been
won by the dogs from the Colonel's private kennel atEltham,
which is now looked over by George Charlton, late of Redcar,
and who has begun well for his employer by the before-
mentioned victory of Dingwall. The sensational sale at the
Barbican in December will long be remembered by coursing
men, and amongst others Fullerton was then knocked down
at £850, Miss Glendyne at £510. Bit of Fashion at £200, and
Miss Kitten at £160 to Colonel North; and these greyhounds,
along with Trough End (£470) and Hunio Holloa, are all
trained for their owner by Mr. Edward Dent and his hench-
man, Watty Ingles, at Sbortflatt Tower in Northumberland
The only place where the new combination has yet put in an
appearance was at Kempton last month, and although the
Sbortflatt representatives all went down early in the Cham-
pion Stakes, Miss Kitten brought them to the end of tbe
"City of London" Stake. Mr. Dent has been a prominent
figure in the coursing world for the last eight or ten years,
and has won more stake money than any other courser of
our time. Princess Dagmar was under his charge when she
won tbe Waterloo Cup. He had the dividers, Miss Glendyne,
and Bit of Fashion, in 1885, and in 1886 he won outright
with the former. Mr. W. J. Hope-Johnstone has acted as
adviser to Colonel North in ooursiog matters, and it was by
his sound judgment that Duke Macpherson and others were
purchased.

1889

%\tt ^xzt&tx and Shpoxtexaxa.

id?

Miss Glendyne began by dividing the Gosforth St. Leger
with Mr. Gladstone's Fisherman. She tben divided tbe
Waterloo Cop with Bit of Fashion; the next year she won it.
In 1887, after winning two courses, she was drawn lame, and
last year, after going down before Herschel, in a poor trial,
she won the pnrse. Bit of Fashion's best form was Bhown
when she divided the Newmarket Champion Puppy Stakes
and the Waterloo Cup as mentioned above. Fullerton had
only been out once, when, after performing brilliantly, he
was beaten by his fresher opponent, Greengage, in the final
course of the Haydock Champion Prodnoe Stakes last
October,

A Rabbit Drive.

The rabbit drives which are resorted to to rid Kern Coun-
ty of the pestift-rous jack rabbits, have attracted general in-
terest and have been frequently described, but never so
graphically as by Mr. Sherman, city editor of the Kern Coun-
ty Californian, of the drive at Mountain View Dairy last
week, that charming story teller says.

Tbe town is just awakening; but somehow not with the
early morning leisure of a common day. There is haste in
the bedroom, haste at the meal, hasty footsteps go to and
fro, baste, even by some magic touch, is in the air. Wbat is
it; why is it? "A rabbit drive out in the country." Oho!

Four-horse farm wagons, floored in liberal width and gen-
erously snpplied with alfalfa spring seats, go up and down
the streets. The password is "All aboard for the rabbit
drive." There is tumbling on, with fan and merriment, and
one after another the loaded wains pull out for the place of
general rendezvous. Vehicles of all sorts, regular, pressed
and improvised, follow in rapid succession. The town is
deserted, but the converging roads are filled with gay caval-
cades.

Once afield, mounted commanders speedily bring order out
of what seems co. fused ohaos. Tboie who wish to drive are
assigned tbeir posts. The eager contingent which has been
there before and knows the fnn is ranged out afoot, in skir-
mish line, each man jack of them armed with about a two-foot
shillelab. Now, while the commander is consulting with
his eager aids, let us view the scene. A half circle of vehi-
cles, interspersed with men and boys on foot, facing a level
plain spattered with sagehrash, and, perhaps a mile off, in
the dim distance, a hencoop sort of thing with wide-stretched
picket wings, the goal, — and not a living thing between.
"Forward" comes the word; on like clockwork moves the im-
patient line; the impetuous and the lazy, each after their
manner, to be checked or urged by the watchful aids. Some
boy — it is always a boy for the first — rattles at a thicket of
sagebrush. Out comes with royal jamps a jack-rabbit.
Bounding easily away for a little, the babel of sound which
assails him seems to bring reflection; he bcuds to the right,
to tbe left, then drops his ears, and makes a straight shoot
for a gap in the gang, dodges through, and is free and away.
No time for bim, speed on. Babbits spring from every
bush.

The eye, in watching one, tangles up with another and
another as they crms aud cross, bound ahead, swing to the
right, swerve' to the left, break through the ranks, and con-
stantly increase as if by magic. By this time, even the
daintiest of those who ride have felt the fervor of the chase,
and all who can have dismounted and joined the eager font-
men. And from the crowd there come resounding cries, like
unto which was ne'er before heard on land or sea. Soon,
Bunny seems to have found leaders, and the leaders have
become possessed with fear, and away they rush. No more
shifting and turning, but away, away from this babbling
cruwd of tramping human kind. And soon, to the goal they
rush, crowding, jumping, scurrying, and behind them with
quickening footsteps a living line, shoulder to shoulder.
Teams are crowded out, the quick pace becomes a run, and
now wing is joined to wing by a close column of footmen.
Now the pace retards, the noise decreases, tbe rabbits pour
into the wide-open door of the pen. "Gently now, keep
quiet," and as the last rabbit enters, the nearest and quickest
roan closes the gate, while not a human voice is heard. But
from the rabbit thousands come thousands of piping baby-
crie-i. They are pathetic, they almost still the blood, yet
every man and boy who can climb a feDce gets right over into
that pen and strikes away for dear life, sparing neither him-
self, nor his friend, nor his friend's friend. The arm is
crazed, fever iB in the brain, butchery is a delight. And
whomsoever has not yet experienced the delirium of a rabbit
drive, of him it must be said be hath not lived half a life.

Spaniel Training:.

Spaniels are neglected in breeding, care and training, to a
degree that is inexplicable to one who knows the wonderful
susceptibility to teaching which they almost invariably mani-
fest. There is a whole world of sport to be had with keen,
obedient spaniels, and we know ot no better suggestions for
training than those made by Mr. I) Bonlton Herrald in the
current isaue of our most excellent exchange Outing. Mr.
Herrald is at home in writing of the breed and what he says
may well be preserved and studied by those who own span-
iels. He writes:

Many a dog is ruined for the field by injudicious training.
With all the good intentions in the world he trains his puppy
to retrieve, using a stick or a stone, and encourages him to
chase the sparrows in the street, because, forsootb, he thinks
that checking him would have he effect of blunting his hunt-
ing enthusiasm when on game. The result is a dog that re-
duces the birds to a pulp while retrieving them, and who
rushes about the covert at railroad speed, hundreds of yards
ahead of the gun, flushing the birds far out of range, and
chasing everything be sees, until, exhausted, he iB forced to
return to his master and rest.

The following lines are penned especially for the benefit of
tne sportsman (and his name ib legion) who pursues this
mode of training (?) in the hope that his next Bpaniel, taught
under the rules laid down in this article, will be at 'least an
improvement on the one be at present owns.

Before commencing work, remember that you must always
be firm but kind, and that above all things you must not lose
your temper with your pupil. Never give in to the dog; al-
ways make him do wbat he is told. Be sure that he knows
wbat be is being punisned for when it becomes necessary to
do so, and don't aelay the punishment long enough for bim
to forget for what he is being corrected. Do not stint your
praise when he does well.

The first lesson to be taught in retrieving. The nearer the
pnppy is to two months old the better, in my opinion, for
our purpose. Some writers recommend waiting until he has
lost his milk teeth and the new ones are well grown in, as
they say that a dog taught to retrieve before getting rid of
these first teeth is apt to be hard-mouthed in retrieving birds,
etc.; but the exoerience of the writer has been that if prop-
erly taught, however young, the puppy will not develops that

evil habit. If a youngster of any "go," he can be taught
more easily at that age, though a chill one cannot be tAken in
hand bo early.

Roll an old and soft woolen sock into a ball, then sit down
and call your pupil to you. Push the ball in his face to
attract his attention to it, making him try to take hold.
Then, throwing it six inches away, say "Go fetch it, Jack"
(as we will call him), motioning bim towards it with the right
hand at the same time. If he refuses to pick up tbe ball, go
to him, and, placing it in his mouth, force him to go with
you to tbe place you threw from, making him hold it until
you have said, "dead bird!" or "dead!" Should he refuse to
give up the ball, force his jaws open with the thumb and
second finger of tbe left hand inserted at the base of the jaws,
removing it with the right, saying the while, "Dead!" dead!"
Never pull anything away, as he will pull too, and a nice
state your partridge or duck would be in were such a pro-
ceeding permitted. He must be taught to drop whatever he
is carrying when commanded to do so by voice of sign. For
a sign, hold up the right hand, with the forefinger erect and
the rest foHed. Never let him worry nor mou h anything.

Should he pick up the ball and run away, refusing to bring
it to you, take him behind the shoulders and drag him to
the place where you were sitting wben it was thrown. Make
him hold tbe ball until you get there, and then proceed as
hereinbefore directed. He will Eoon learn tbiB lesson.
Throw the ball farther and farther as he progresses, and con-
tinue until he is perfected in it.

When be has learned to retrieve the throw ball he can be
advanced a stage. Show him tbe ball, not letting him take
it, and, saving "Dead!" place iton the ground and walk away,
telling him to follow. After going a few stepB, turn, and,
waving the hand in tbe direction in which he is to go, say,
"Go, seek dead!" Should be fail to understand your mean-
ing, go back, show him the ball, and after some little distance
order bim to get it and then deliver it to you.

When three or four months old, if he is perfeot in his
other lessons, take, say, a game bird's wing, or in default of
that, a fowl's, show it to him, and, putting him out or the
room (I am supposing that you teach him in the honse),
shut the door. Then hide it where it can be easily found,
and let him in, saying, "Go, seek dead!" motioning the
direction in which he is to quest. Continue this for some
time until he does it parfectly, hiding the wing in out of the
way places about the house as he progresses.

Never let his search be a fruitless one. If he cannot find
for himself, show him the biding place, and make him fetch
the wing to the place from which yon Bent him.

To teach the puppy to retrieve from water after he has
learnt to do so on land, take him, when the water is warm,
to a shelving beach. First throw his ball to the water's
edge (for this work some cork shavings in it), then into the
water far enough to force him to wet his feet, and so on,
farther and farther, until at last he is obliged to swim.
This shoul i be gone about gra-iually, and with extreme care,
so as to give him confidence in his powers. Above all things
do not throw him into water over his depth, as it will only
tend to make him dislike it, and may ruin him for water
retrieving altogether. It is well to make your pupil retrieve
sometimes in the dark, as if only worked by daylight he is
apt to depend too much on eyesight, which practice must
not, of course, be tolerated for a moment.

The next lesson to be taught is "coming to heel." When
you are out walking, and he is running ahead, call sharply,
"Heel, Jack — heel!" forcing him behind you at the same
time. Should he try to break away, tap him smartly with
your whip or walking-stick, saying, "Heel! heel!" Con-
tinue this until he will come in at once when called, and
thrash him if he breaks away without the order to "hie on"
or "go on." To teach this, wave the hand forward while
verbally giving tbe order, and run a few steps onward. This
lesson will be easily inculcated, and it will be to him the
most welcome order he has to obey.

Few spaniels in this country are trained to drop to shot or
command; but presumiog my reader to be desirous of giving
his pupil a finished education, I will describe an easy mode
of teaching it. Order him sharply to "drop!" when standing
beside you, at tbe same time forcing him to the ground by
placing the knee on his shoulders and keep him there for a
few moments, saying "Drop!" drop!" Then removing your
hand or foot from off him. say "Up!" making him rise.
When ordering him to drop, hold your right (or left) arm
erect above the shoulder, so that in time he will associate
the uplifted arm with tbe verbal command. In due course
he will drop at the signal alune. Do not allow him to get np
until ordered to do so, whether you walk away and leave him
or not.

Next take some firearm, a muzzle-loaded horse-pistol for
choice, and, commanding him to drop by voice and sign, tire
it. In time he will associate the report with the other orders
to drop, and so "drop to shot."

Never weary your pupil; stop the lesson before he tires of
it. Always have him alone with yon when at work, as his at-
tention must not be distracted from tbe matter in hand.
Never deceive him. It is well to reward him now and again
for good behavior with some dainty of which he is fond. Use
the whip as little as possible; but when you do whip, whip
soundly.

And now for the field. On arriving at the covert in which
you propose beginning operations, order bim in; instinct
tben teaohes bim to quest for a Bcent. At first allow him to
range at will to put a keen edge on his appetite for tbe work,
and do not check bim when so hunting. If he goes too far
away, hide carefully and make bim find you without assis-
tance from you. He will think he is lost, and be wary of
going too far in future.

When he begios to enjoy his work thoroughly you can begin
to curb his ranging propensities. If he runs too far, call
''Close, Jack— close!" and should he persist in doing so,
thrash him, repeating the while, "Close! close!" He should
not be allowed to range farther than twenty or twenty-five
yards from tbe gun.

Should he give chase to a flushed bird, shout "Ware ohase,
Jack!" and if he persists, call him in and thrash him,
repeating tbe order whilst doin^ so. If he springs a hare
and attempts to ohase her, shout "Ware fur. Jack!" and call
ing him to where you stand, scold and thrush bim He must
be broken of noticing "fur" at all hazards.

When you shoot the 6rst bird over him, order him to "go
Beek dead!" motioning tbe direction in wbioh it fell. If he
cannot find it, go and find it for him, then poinliog to it, say
"Dead!" and calling him to follow, go back to where you
stood at firing, and order him to get it. If he refuses to pick
ihe bird up, put it in his mouth aod force him to carry it to
where you stood. Order him to pat it down, and praise and
make much of him. and ten to one next time he will retrieve.
Use every endeavor to kill the first bird you fire at to his
flush.

After this, "practice makes perfect," and tbe reader will in
time own a dog of whose accomplishments afield he may be
proud.

As will be seen by reference to the advertisement.the
Pacific Coast Blood JHorse Association, announces that
their annual spring; meeting will commence on April 20th
and continue to the 27th. The programme is an exceed-
ingly good one and ha* evidently been prepared with
much care. Horses of all classes have a chance and as
the purses are very liberal, the entries will undoubtedly
be very large. We have frequently been asked when
the Blood Horse Meetiug would take place, but have not
been able to answer authoritively until now. As there
are so many horses that will have gone through the Los
Ang'.les, Fresno and San Jose meetings, by the first date
a very large number of horses will be quartered at the
tw t and the entries should be larger iu numbers than
eve" before, and we shall feel eadly disappointed if Buch
it net the case. Grod weather is the only thing neces-
sary to insure a successful meeting.

The Welcome Rain.

An Eastern "newspaper man" was a welcome visitor
at the Breeder and Sportsman "Wednesday, and ex-
pressed his surprise that what to him was a discomfort
elicited universal approbation among the residents. A
continuous downfall for a week, mud in all of the streets,
grey skies in place of anticipated sunshine, gloom and
sombreness in lieu of elasticity of spirits, the climate of
the Hebrides where fancy pictured a dry, balmy atmo-
sphere beyond that of the vale of Cashmere, or the most
favored shores of the Mediterranean. Had his visit
extended over February, when scarce a drop of rain fell,
when the verdure which the November and December
rains promoted became colored with russet tinges, when
the roads were deep in dust, with the least knowledge of
the necessities of mother earth for copious libations in
order to perform satisfactorily her maternal duties, he
would have had a better realization of the benefits which
brought thankfulness and praise.

With the rains of the past few days come an assurance
of a prosperous year, indications of the most bountiful
return in every department of agriculture, horticulture,
and also in natural products. In many sections where
alfillerilla, wild-oats and burr clover seemed on the
point of extinction, we hear of rejuvenation, and a growth
of these best of all grasses for horses, especially colts,
which is a surprise to those who looked for barrenness.

Just at the right time came the dispensation, and the
copiousness of the grant ensures water for other purposes
which are of the greatest importance. Then, too, if our
friend will contrast the warmth with the snows, sleets
and frosts of an Eastern March, he will see little cause
for grumbling over the petty discomforts he has encoun-
tered.

The National Trotting Stallion Stake-

With the announcement from the judge's stand on the
20th of October last that Stamboul had won the National
Trotting Stallion Stake, the effects did not end. Like a
pebble thrown into a still pool of water, the first splash
made the most noise, but also, to follow the comparison,
the circles became wider and wider as they diverged from
the center, not even culminating in the $50,000 paid for
the winner, or the $26,000 paid for his two-year-old son.
That Mr. Pose was benefited by the victory of Stamboul
to an amount not less than fifty thousand dollars, is
susceptible of proof, and that in adddition to the stakes
and other profits accruing.

There was a great sensation when the grand young
horse defeated Arab at Los Angeles, intensifying that
by making the fastest time ever made by a stallion in
California. He was granted to have all the races he
was engaged in at his command, and that at Oakland,
Sacramento, Stockton, and San Jose there would be a
repetition of conquests. His second and third races came
very near dethroning the idol, and though he partially
recovered his prestige at San Jose, the cloud still hung
over him. Woodnut had shown such decided superiority
in the Grand, not only over Stamboul, but also .Guy
Wilkes, that had it been ordained that the two should
not come together again, he would have been rated by
a majority of the horse-talking public as the better of
the two. There were good reasons for giving him the
preference. The race he won was the fastest of the stal-
lion series, and he not only displayed superior speed, but
at the same time demonstrated that he possess endurance.
As a rule public opinion trended to the idea that Stam-
boul was not a "dead game" horse. The races at Oak-
land and Sacramento had a tendency to strengthen that
estimate, and his most ardent admirers were ready to
acknowledge that that was his failing, though the only
one which could be marked against him. His victory in
the National established his supremacy over Woodnut
his four heats removed the obloquy of Boftness, and
wiped out the charges which were recorded against him.

Had that opportunity been wanting, in all probability
he would have been taken home at the close of _the cir.
cuit, and his victory over Old Tempus been at least post-
poned. Therefore, he not only turned the tables on
Woodnut, but also accomplished the lowering of a record
at first disputed, and then when admitted, claimed to
have been made under circumstances which were so
favorable that it was not likely to be repeated while
Anno Domino 1888 was still on the calendar. That the
horse was capable of doing even more than he had shown,
doeB not invalidate the position that the National to him
was the turning point in his fortune. From that day,
when the cheers of thousands greeted his well-earned
victory, he stood on a higher pedeetal. Defeats were
regarded as skirmishes when his whole force was not
brought into engagement, the battle won, eradicating all
the unfavorable expressions heretofore uttered, and
placed the garland of championship around his neck.
More than that. When the hurrahs resounded through
the immense building when Mascott was declared sold
for twenty-six thousand dollars, it was but an echo of

the National reverberating from the Pacific to the
Atlantic, an enlargement of the circle from the Bay Dis-
trict track to where the radius reached across the conti-
nent. Truly, Mr. Pose has a right to say that good came
from the inception of that stake, and the breeders of trot-
ting horses in California have all gained an advantage,
if not so direct, by the good fortune of the proprietor of
Rosemeade.

Driving an Engine.

There is little analogy between driving a trotter and
tooling a steam engine. In England the engineer of a
locomotive is called an engine driver, and following that
custom we claim membership in the ranks, though our
machine is stationary, and only of one horse-power at
that. We have a preference for a single horse when
speed is the main object, and though the second place is
all that can be awarded to a pair of higher- bred trotters
"hitched" to a light road wagon when a horse-picture
is the study, the rig is Burely entitled to that distinction.
The firBt must be given to a fair equestrienne, mounted
on a faultlessly formed thoroughbred, and with the
accompaniment of verdant turf and grand old trees, and
whoever will deny this estimate cannot be the possessor
of aesthetic taste or a proper appreciation of beautiful
combinations. While the beauty of rider and horse is
enhanced by the sylvan picture, more pleasing than
when the scene is laid on city streets, or among the
throngs which view a race, so the pair show to better
advantage on a smooth stretch of road than is offered on
the still smoother track, but the single fast trotter is
only in his full glory when winding up a hotly contested
heat, a head or maybe a neck in advance of his competi-
tor.

There is majestic motion in a huge Corliss engine when
ponderous piston and massive balance wheel move with
the ease and precision of a Deut chrononietor, and there
is life and animation in the little one-horse plaything as
it makes 450 revolutions in sixty seconds, and seta the
cog wheels on an Alert pump, rattling and clattering as
it lifts a column of water of no small dimensions more
than twenty feet from the well, and forces it full forty
feet higher, to fall in splashes in the elevated tank-
This prelude, which has the merit of being short, is the
overture to answering a whole volume of questions pro-
pounded by some of our readers, and which others, who
do not seek the information, are also interested in. The
question is in relation to the expediency of using steam
m place of windmills to elevate water, and there are few
of our California farms which are not dependent on wells
for the water supply, and, as a rule, employ force to
raise the fluid to a height which will render it easy of
distribution. Windmills are uncertain, and even in the
locality where our residence is fixed, that part of Oakland
east of the Golden Gate, and therefore in the direct track
of the western winds, there may be many consecutive
days when the dispenser of serial currents is chary of his
favors. Therefore the resolution was taken to declare
absolute independence of the king of the winds, and call
upon a more reliable agent, a servant who never balked
or sulked when properly handled.

After due deliberation the conclusion was reached that
an engine of one horse power was sufficient to draw from
the well, and raise to an altitude of forty feet, water
enough for household purposes, including bath, water-
closets, etc., and to supply ten horses with aqueous
refreshments, wash sulkies and carts, and water quite an
area. Practice has demonstrated that conclusion to be
correct, with margin enough to do lots of other jobs
which would "come handy." But the question most fre-
quently asked was in relation to the skill required to
drive the engine, and though our experience is confined
to a little more than one week, we have no hesitancy in
replying that any person with average mechanical ability
can do so after a few lessons. The engine consumes coal
oil, which is prepared for combustion, at first by air
pressure until steam is gotten up, and when that reaches
twenty pounds, the vapor takes the place of air, and
with no further trouble on that score, fire and water do
their part. What with air pump, "diaphragm," patent
lubricators, governor, valves, "petcocks," guages, and all
the rest of the paraphernalia of the little motor, it has a
complicated look, but as we feel that we have mastered
it with one lesson from the machinist, who set it up and
put it in motion, some study, and we must confess a
little tribulation at times, after two warning uo heats
everything goes along so smoothly that there are no
fears for the future. On forms where power can be used
advantageously for other purposes beside raising water,
it will afford effective service, and one of our main
reasons for applying steam to pumpimg was its ready
conversion to any use where that much power would
answer.

No more filing and grinding of the foot surface of'
tips. An emery wheel attached to th^ lathe, and that
belted to the engine, a stack of tips, far higher than

those which our associate has drawn out about the
Suburban, will be brought to a nicety of level in short
order, making a perfect connection between horn and
metal, when the foot is put in light shape. The foot
surfaces of tip or shoe should be as true as it is possible
to make them, and of uniform thickness. That is, uni-
formity in corresponding parts. The posterior metal
may be thinner than that at the toe, but in that case
there should be a regular taper. An emery wheel,
revolving with, the rapidity which will be easily obtained
with an engine making 450 revolutions in a minute, will
cut away the superfluous metal rapidly, and a contri-
vance to ensure the desired thickness being uniformly
reached, will not be difficult to invent.

In this connection it will not be out of place to state,
that as soon as we can spare the time to superintend the
making of patterns, we shall have thsm made and sent
to Cleveland, Ohio, where we are informed there is a
foundry where malleable iron work is dene. The tips
which were cast at the Judson Works were the best we
have used, and if these can be duplicated in Cleveland,
that trouble in connection with tip-shoeing will be done
away with. Hundreds of applications for specimen tips
have been received, only a small portion of which could
be supplied, as the blacksmith who does our work ha9
little spare time outside of his regular business.

as the effort iB, he will not be balked. With Doslrils diluted
and quivering, eyes straining forward, and every muscle at
tension, he boundB boldly forward, and rather by impetus of
speed than any palpable exertion of bis own, flies acroBB the
broad chasm. It ia a hair's breadth too mnch at this point
even for his Buperb leaping powers to compass; the hind feet
drop in, but fortunately find hold on a lower submerged shelf.
The rider's lithe, light figure is instinctively thrown forward,
the plucky steed has his head, and by a second effort such
as the underbred cocktail seldom makes, be carries his rider
safely ashore, shake his dipping quarters, and a minute
later is speeding on beside the pack again.

"Salmon fishing on Loch Tay" is vivid portraiture of
a sport which ranks nearly as high in the "North coun-
trie" as hunting does further to the southward, and with
articles on coaching, snow-shoeing, cycling, winter shoot-
ing in Florida and others of interest, this number, which
closes the thirteenth volume, is hard to excel.

Outing.

Oftentimes we are disappointed in getting hold of
the magazine which has the above single word head
line for a title, and when a number is captured and car-
ried home for leisurely perusal, the resolve is made
that measures will be taken that there shall be no mis8
hereafter.

The March number, however, makes amends for the
loss of several in one way, in another the regrets are in-
tensified. It may be that those not seen were as good as
that which has just been received. In that case the
loss being serious, but then again there are articles
which are so very interesting, that, that being left is a
recompense. "Fox Hunting" by Plantagenet, Henry H.
S. Pearse, is one of the pleasantest sketches of that fas-
cinating sport that we have read for many a day. A
paragraph or two will not convey a proper impression of
its value as a whole, and were there space enough we
should be tempted to infringe on the copyright to a
greater extent, trusting that publisher and author would
condone the "lifting." The author exhibits a knowledge
of horsemanship as well as the possession of rare pow-
ers of description, and those who drive trotters on the
road as well the track, will do well to ponder over the
sentences describing the preparation for the water jump.
There has been no check yet, but just a brief pause where
the fox changed his course, and hounds are driving on as if
he were now only a field ahead o£ them. The scent is breast-
high, and they have no need to Btoop to it. Nor do they
throw their tongues freely; the pace is too good for that.
Like cavalry charging with a broad front, they carry what
sportsmen call a good head. At every twist and turn there
is keen rivalry for the lead, as first one and then another
flashes out in front and swings to the scent like a yacht keel-
ing over on a new tack or a swallow turniDg in mid-air.
There is just a shrill whimper then, and the whole pack
wheels to it as if at word of command. Fifteen miDutes, full
of more incidents than can be crowded into the hours of an
ordinary day. have passed since our fox was halloa'd away.
The hundreds from among whose thundering heels the tail
hounds had to make hezardons way as we sped over the first
broad meadow, have dwindled down to a twentieth of their
number, and now we are heading straight for the sluggish
brook, which is so full now that we cannot see where its
slimy banks have been worn hollow by the slow curves and
eddies of its summer current or the first rushes of winter
floods.

The riding and spurring o'er Canobie Lea was aa nothing
to the rush with whioh men wheel right and left, galloping
hard to find a gate and avoid the water. It is

"No shallow diy ditch, with a hurdle to Bcreen it.

That cocktail imposture a steeple-chase brook;
But the flood-fretted banks tell as plain, if we mean it,
The lesa we shall like it the longer we look."
How that "dream of the Old Meltonian" rings in our ears as
we clench our teeth hard, sit down in our Baddies and ride
for the brook! There are not twenty followers left with the
paok now, and not more than half of them look as if they
mean going.

The quiet determined horseman who negotiated that last
awkward drop so cleverly (typical of the best man of any
country whether in Leicestershire or the most remote pro-
vinces), is taking a line of his own, but without any sign of
shirking or hesitation. At one point a light thorn fence half
screens the brook, and he goes for it at that point well
knowing that the roots of bushes will give him firm ground
to take off from; and as to the sort of place on whioh be may
land, he is content to take his chance. Catohing firm hold
of his horse's head bat so lightly that there is no perceptible
increase of pressure on bit or bridle, he sends an electric
thrill of sympathy along the reins. A strong squeeze of the
knees, just one touch of the spur, and they go at it best
speed. Like a bullet the good steed flies through the screen
of slender twigs, hangs a brief beat of time above the glitter-
ing water, and with just a scramble where the hollow bank
gives way, is on terra firma once more. It was a yawner
inaVed— broad as a Lincolnshire dyke, deep enough to en-
gulf horse and rider, and gloomy as the Styx. One fair pur-
suer goeB at it where the huntsman leads, and, thanks to her
pilot's quick eye for BtlectiDg a sound place, gets over cleverly.
The other races hard at a bend where ceaseless eddies have
worn a ^ider channel. The little teeth are clench* d tighth\
and every nerve in her slender frame is tingling with excite-
ment. The gallant thoroughbred shares his feeling, and big

Wilfred Page on the National.

Since the article was written which credits the
National with a goodly share of the sums received from
the sales of the Rosemeade horses, we have seen a "proof"
of the suggestions of our correspondent, Wilfred Page,
and heartily concur in his views. The National of last
year attracted more attention abroad than any other
trotting race of the year, and had it not been for the bad
luck attending so many of the nominators, it would have
unquestionably resulted in the greatest trotting contest
of any year.

That there are plenty of Californian stallions to ensure
success should the stake be gotten up, will readily be
seen when our correspondent's list is perused, and were
the nominations restricted to those which had records
outside of 2:15, with that condition, a majority of the
class named would put in an entry.

In all probability it would be a good move to reduce
t.he stake to $500 each, as had that been the sum fixed
upon last year more nominations would have been made.

But the trouble is not so much in obtaining subscri-
bers as to induce men capable of proper management to
take it in hand. The work of the first National was
mainly thrown on Captain Smith. On our part it was
no trifling job, as from the first there was a disposition
to throw cold water upon the project, and no end to
lugabrious predictions of failure. The one thousand
dollar clause was incorporated to induce Eastern owners
to take part, but that failing to accomplish the purpose,
it will be better to suit the wishes of a majority of our
own folk. The organization of a Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeder's Association will remove every obstacle,
and it only requires a consensus of effort on the part of a
few to succeed.

Mr. Page will be juBt the man to take the lead, and
we shall be happy to do all in our power to assist in
bringing it through. We cannot labor as assiduously as
we have in the past, and we do not consider that there is
the necessity that has heretofore prevailed. From scon
after our arrival in California until the close of last year,
we have been busily engaged in furthering the interests
of "turf and track" outside of journalistic work, and now
that so many are interested, it should be no great deal of
trouble to perfect an organization which will be of incal-
culable benefit to the breeders of trotters on this coast.

Some one must take the initiatory, that person having
enthusiasm enough to engage those who need a little
stimulus to rouse them to exertion, and in sixty days at
the furtherest the job will be done.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— As there seems to be
no correspondent from this part of the country to your valu-
able paper, I niOBt respectfully beg leave for spaoe in its
columns, for a short description of the stallion show which
took plare in MaryBville, Saturday, March 9th.

First, I must Bay that the show was not patronized as it
should have been, as I know of a great many good horses that
did not turn out, and I consider Buch a show worth more to
a horse than all the advertising one could do through the
press.

There were fourteen in the line of march, headed bv the
Wilkes stallion Alpheus. owned by Mr. Irvin AyreB of 0*8-
land, but leased tor the season by F. E. Griffith of Marysville.
Second was the black colt Darkness, sired by Sinner, aud
owned by J. P. Coatea of Salter County. Next came the
celebrated sire of carriage horseB, Young Challenge by Doty's
Challenge, (sire of Doty, record 2:21), owned by George
Ohleyer, Jr., of Suiter County, followed by the trotting horse
I Wonder, a three-year-old by Alpheus. a son of the once
famous Brigadier, and several others whose names I am
unable to give.

I think by next year we can have as good a horRe show as
any place north of Sacramento, ai people in this section are
just beginning to get their eves open in breeding good horses.

DESCRIPTION.
Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; Btands I5-3V bands high; weighs
1,200 pounds, and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old be made a record of 2:28H> and when
four years old, in hie first race, he obtained a record
of2:26#. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-oldforra, and haB been drive t a last half in 1:0 .
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
through tne speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to bis offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced IS heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosie Ale, as a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks; baa
a record of 2;20V. R- H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2 -.16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 -16 to 2:20. Considering
that Alexander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare — his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terras of
service, be is the cheapest and most wonderful horse

in the State.

Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood, Dncbess of Norfolk,
Lou Spencer.the Great Emperor of Norfolk, an many
others. Marion's sire, Malcolm, was one of the first
horses to bring Bonnie Scotland into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the m"8t celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the caBe of the Em*
peror of Norfolk, who is a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The blood lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
Is fair to assume thatth" get of this stallion willBhow
equally well with those of past generations.

This scientific preparation is an absolute
cure for all bony or callous lumps on horses,
and is a more powerful absorbent than "fir-

After a lew applications the excrescence is so
palpably reduced that even the skeptical
frauklv acknowledge that it is by far the most
valuable outward remedy for horses ever in-
vented.

Gentlejies:-W'g have used Ossidine for the past two years
I and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although performed by one of
the most, successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommendsd it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than any blister ever used.

Very respectfully yours, S. A. BROWNE A Co., Prop's.

Owner oi Eole. St Saviour, Eoliut, etc , says;

I nave long used it in my stables, and find it to be all
that is claimed for it in removing callous and uunatural
bony growths, without leaving the slightest blemish.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully,

SUNOL— Two-Year-Old Record 2:18.

Sunol.

This may with great propriety be called the Sunol number,
so mach space being occupied with matter which derives its
peculiar interest from the connection it has with, by far the
fastest trotting two-year-old which has yet appeared.

For that reason we republish her picture, and have taken
the capital description written by Leslie E. MoLeod, associate
editor of Wallace's Monthly in preference to original matter.

Having been written for and published in the Monthly does
not leBsen its value to our readers, and when the present
controversy is taken into consideration it is better that Mr.
McLeod Bhould dilate on her, "As a whole, Sunol is a
striking, finished, racy, looking mare of marked quality"
than that the editor of thiB paper should have presented these
eulogies.

While it does not invalidate the claim to high breeding
that some coarseness appears, it certainly strengthens it
when the form approximates that which is regarded typical

of the best specimens of the breed, and for our part we
should prefer that the animal expected to trot fast Bhould
Bhow the "speedy conformation" than an undisputed inheri-
tance of the bluest blood in the land.

Many will point to her irritability and difficulty to break
as due to the high blood in her veins, and as the Electioneers
are, in a great majority of cases, the most docile and easily
broken, that fault is derived from the dam. But we should
attribute it to the Benton croBs rather than the Lexington —
Grey Eagle, and as we never heard a like complaint made of
Ansel or his colts, that position is in a measure sustained, as
the dam of Ansel was a Bister to Waxy.

Taken as whole and Mr. McLeod *s vivid portraiture repre-
sents what might have been expected from the breeding
with the excepections mentioned, and is oorroborative of the
claim, so thoroughly established, that she is a grandaughter
of Waxy.

Electioneer has furnished many stars in the juvenile trot-
ting-world, but none has attracted the attention that is being

showered upon Sunol, the great two-year-old. She is gener-
ally regarded as the brightest star in her sire's radiant cluster,
she has increased the value of a whole family manifold, and
in the light of her glory they enjoy reflected fame. Her per-
formance is perhaps the most wonderful on record; and
though, in view of the uncertainties of the tnrf, it is idle to
speculate upon the future, she has perhaps as good a chance,
it it is not destroyed, of surpassing the record of Maud S. as
any animal now before the public. Be that as it may, her
prominence is already great enough to warrant us in giving a
somewhat particular account of her. She was bred at Palo
Alto, and was got by Electioneer, out of Waxana, by Gen.
Benton. Waxana's dam was Waxy, a racing-bred mare,
whose exact blood-lines, at the present writing, have not
been satisfactorily traced, but she is reputed to be by Lex-
ington. Waxana is a large chestnut maro of excellent fcrm.
a handsome, expressive head, and of general marked char-
acter. Sunol has developed into a filly that, if she had no
reputation, would attract notice for her peculiar shape and
rare finish. She has as exquisitely handsome ahead and
neck as ever was striven for on the painters' canvas. The
beautiful lines on which they are chiseled, and their delicate
finish, make Sand's fore-features imperial in their \

178

lite ^xtttuv and £>p0rtsmau.

march zs

The shonlder is prominent, running obliquely to a rather low
and smoothly-turned wither that is carried well back. Her
depth through the heart region and the formatioa of the
chest give the requisite lung and heart capacity. It is in her
rear formation that the peculiarity exists. She is remarkably
"high behind." There appears a greater proportionate differ-
ence in her height at the withers and over the quarter than
the figures show, or than we ever observed in any other ani-
mal. She is 15.2 hands high forward and 16 hands high
behind. We have always considered this the most favorable
formation for speed — have never admired prominent withers;
and the form of Maud S., SunoL, and many others, bear out
the preference. Electioneer is himself on this order of struc-
ture. Sunol is just slightly inclined to be roach-backed, but
she is closely and strongly coupled. The lower line of her
barrel is, one might say, harmonious with her back. Thst
is, it runs high at the flank; and while she is not light-
waisted, still she has the moBt greyhoundish appearance
imaginable in a horse. Her croup is rather Bhort, and
the incline of the quarter is sharp, and the Blope very
noticeable. The pacing conformation is here closely ap-
proached. The combined length of the quarter and leg is
exceptional. If you draw a line from the point of the hip to
the whirl-boDe, from there to the stifle, and thence to the
hock, we think the aggregate length of the lines forming
these angles will much exceed, in proportion to other parts,
a similar measurement of any horBe we have ever seen. The
quarters are muscular, the legs Btout and strong to the hocks
and knees, which are fuultless, and the cannons are rarely-
good. The pasterns are not udusubI in length or Blope, and
the foot is a good average one.

As a whole, Sunol is a striking, finished, racy-looking mare
of marked quality. In temperament she is excessively ner-
vous, and, indeed, quite irritable. She waB exceedingly hard
to break, and has not yet reached a point where she could
exactly be recommended as a model family driver. When
she came directly under Mr. Marvin's care in November,
1887, hitching the high-Btrung youDgster to a sulky was a
contract that called for about two hours of good-tempered
patience. She was worked easy, with occasional short
brushes through the winter, but never was around the track
except in a jog until she went to Los Angeles late in July,
preparatory to her race with Vesolia on AuguBt 5tb.
Through the time intervening before that race she wbb given
foor different miles, the fastest being in 2:33}. She trotted
the second beat of the race in 2:25, but the crowd pretty
nearly made her nervous ladyship frantic. In all her work
she didn't trot more than six or eight miles more until she
went in 2:18 at the Bay District track. The Palo Alto trot-
ters do not exhaust themselves by great efforts in moon-light
trials. The track -was good, but not as fast as it once was.
Mr. Orrin Hickok, who drove the running prompter, stated
to the visitor that for the first three-quarters Marvin was
"talking her back," and that if there was any drive it was in
the finish. Marvelous as the trial was, Mr. Marvin believes
that bad it been postponed a week longer, and had she been
rated a little faBter in the first half, the two-year-old mark
would be closer to 2:16 than 2:18.

Notwithstanding her sensitive nerves, Sunol has no dispo-
sition to break when trotting. She has an easy, stealing gait,
tucking her hind legs well up under her, and going very close.
She carries the lightest of shoes and no toe-weights. The
toe-weight has no place among the appliances used in educat-
ing trotters at Palo Alto. Sunol is now sound and clean as a
dollar, to all appearances; and though it is possible she has
not the flight of Manzanita, whose capacity was equal to a
quarter in thirty seconds, unlesB she has some of the ill-for-
tune that prevented that great mare acquiring a record that
would adequately measure her speed, the prospect is rosy for
the daughter of Waxana heading the roll of the Electioneers
with a very low figure.

Pine Horses Sold.

Two San Joaquin County trotters started last evening for
the East, says the Stockton Independent, having been pur-
chased by Eastern horsemen for breeding purposes. Both
were from the stook breeding establishment of Mayor Shippee
and are by his famous horse Hawthorne. One of tt em is
the famous mare Tempest, who has a record of '2:19!. She is
six years old, without fault or fclemish, and weighed yester-
day 1,170 pounds. She is without doubt the best trotting
mare ever bred in the San Joaqniu valley, and her old owner
says that she is improving steadily, and would, if kept on the
track, get very low down in the teens before long. Her ulti-
mate destination is not knowr, but she has been purchased
for export, and will be taken abroad to improve the breed of
trotters in some foreign land.

The other is Red Thorn, also by Hawthorne and own
brother to Moses S. He is a dark bay stallion sixteen hands

He has been purchased by W. E. Campbell, who bought
Motion last season, and will go to Kansas. He will go on the
Kansas circuit during the coming season and will then be used
for breediDg purposes. The price paid for the animals was
$5,000 each, and the day after Mr. Shippee had made the sale
of Tempest by wire he received an offer of $fi,000 for her.
The purchaser could have had an advance of $1,000 on his

A Strange Complaint.

A complaint which is creating much comment because of
its novelty, says the New York Times, as well as its evidence
of common sense on the part of a trainer, is that of "Matt"
Alien, who trains Senator Hearst's stable of racers. Contrary
to all other trainers, his complaint is because Mr. Lawrence
did not put enough weight on Glen Echo in the Suburban.
He tells a "Spirit of the Times" writer that he would have
been better satisfied with 110 pounds than he is with the 95
pounds allotted his horse. Why? "Because," he says, "the
colt has got a will of its own, and it takeB a strong boy to
ride him, if I could have got him weighted at 110 Dounds I
could have put Hamilton up, and he would do better with
him thao a 95-pound boy could."

That shows Allen to have a remarkably level head. There
have been more horses ruined by trusting them to inexperi-
enced boys than one can count in a day. Age and experience
are needed to make good jockeys. Barnes, Taylor and Penny
are about the only light weights who have judgment enough
to ride a race-horse, and they are all born jockeys. A man
who owns a good horse needs to have weight enough assigned
him to enable an at least partially matured boy to ride him,
and 90-pound boys are, as a rule, only tit lor exercise work,
and haidly fit for that. A good secoud-class horse, with Mc-
Laughlin, Garrison, or Hayward in the saddle, is from 7 to
10 pounds better than with the best of a whole barnfull of
)\f' it-weight jockeys, with the exception of perhaps a half
d< -eu that might be named.

The preceding table represents the breeding record to date
of Geo. M. Patchen Jr., 2:27, otherwise known as California
Patchen. I think I venture but little in saying that any
man who to-day owns a son of either Electioneer, Sultan,
Guy Wilkes oi Director, would be more than satisfied did he
feel assured that under circumstances and with opportunities
similar to Geo. II. Patchen Jr.'s, his stallion would make as
good a showing as the above.

A more intelligible way of conveying the information con-
tained in the table would read as follows: Geo. M. Patchen
Jr., 2:27, has produced nine sons and daughters with records
from 2:18$ to 2:28f. Of these five from dams of unknown
breeding; two from running bred dams; one from a Gen.
Taylor trotting bred mare, and one from

Three daughters that produced four trotters with records
from 2;17| to 2:29, and one daughter that produced a two-
year-old with record of 2:31}.

Eight sons, all of them from dams of unknown or doubtful
breeding, that have produced sixteen trotters and pacers
with records from 2:17} to 2:30, and the dams of four with
records from 2:15 to 2:30.

Three grandsons that have produced four horses with
records from 2:14 to 2:26}.

Furthermore the table shows that the blood of Geo. M.
Patchen Jr. nicked with Electioneer, has produced Susie,
two-year-old record, 231}; with Nutwood's, Maggie E. 2:19|,
and Jim Mulvenna, 2:27|; with Speculation's Crown Point,
2 24, sire of Valensin, 3-year-old record 2-23, and Hancock,
2:29; with Tilton Almoat's, Almont Patchen, pacer, 2:15;
with Nephew's, Voucher, 2:22; with Mambrino Rattler's,
Reliance, 2:22}. and with Nap. Rattler's, Alex. Button, 4-
year-old record 2:26}, and sire of Rosie Mo, 2:20|, and Yolo
Maid, pacing record as three-year-old, 2:14. The latter a
Patchen— St. Clair nick, which has electrified the trotting
and pacing turf as much in its way as did the Electioneer
and St. Clair nick that produced Wildflower, 2-years-old, 2:21,
and Manzanita, 4-years-old, 2:16.

If one were to-day even to ask the owners of these Hamble-
toDian and Mambrino stallions how many Patchen mates
they have in their studs, the great majority would answer
"None, and I don't want any; they are no good, and even if
I thought they were, they are not fashionable, so I don't
want them." Y.et the chanoes are ten to one that each one
of these breeders has from three to a dozen mares sired by
Williamson's Belmont, or by a son of his, and is looking for
a record breaker in each coll that these mares drop.

Let us see whether their chances of getting trotters from
this the leading thoroughbred trotting strain on this Coast
are greater than though they pinned their faith to a Patchen.
Belmont's (Williamson, r} one and only representative in
the 2:30 list is Venture: 2:27J; neither the latter nor any
other son has achieved as much. Belmont's daughter, Jenny
Shepherd, dam untraced, bred to Alexander, 2:31} (a son of
Geo. M.Patohen Jr.,) produced Nelly Patchen, 2:27} (seventh
heat), and bred to Gen. McClellan (another unfashionable),
threw Flora Shepherd, 2:30. The rest of the producing
mares credited to Belmont are in the s t b class, and s t b's
nowadays do not count, Harry Belmont, a full brother, if I
be not miBtakeD, to Venture, sired Lady Suffolk, dam of
Rustic, 2:30, and Norman, 2:28$. Cwen Dale, a third son is
credited with an s t b daughter, dam of Brushy John, 2:27;
a second daughter produced to the cover of Carr's Mambrino,
Lady Ellen, 2:28, dam of Ella by Electioneer, record at two
years. 2:33}; at four years, 2:29; whilst a third daughter
when coupled with Geo. M. Patchen Jr. produced Susie,
2:26}, dam of BuiBun, also by Electioner, record at two years,
2:31}, Belle Echo, 2:20, by Echo, and Joe Arthurton, 2:20&,
by Arthurton, are by long odds the fastest get of producing
dams of the Belmont family, but unfortunately sufficient
proof has not as yet been forthcoming to induce Mr. Wallace
to respectively record these mares otherwise than as s t b by
Belmont and s t b by Langford.

Gov. Stanford has for several years been, and is yet, I
believe, using Don Victor, a full brother to Owen Dale, upon
many of his mares bred deeply in trotting strains, and
is crossing the produce so obtained back onto Electioneer,
Belmont, Nephew, etc. The result, I have not the slightest
doubt, will be that in the near future this Bon of California
Belmont will figure more or less prominently as a *ire of
producing dams. Great Scott! Might not a Patchen or
even a McClellan under similar circumstances and with simi-
lar assistance, become a formidable rival even to Mambrino
Patcben and Pilot Jr.?

To compare Belmont's value as a trotting progenitor with
Geo. M. Patchen Jr.'s were to attempt an absurdity. The
breeding records as above given speak for themselves. I
cannot, however, do less than call attention to one remark-
able feature which thiB examination has brought to light, aud
that ip, that putting aside his st b daughters, the greatest
speed developed by the immediate produce of a Belmont
mare has been \\ hen Geo. M. Patchen Jr., or one of his sons,
was the sire, and the same result, as far as comparable, has
been obtained when this developed produce has been bred
in into the third generation. We have for instance: Owen
Dale mare— Lady Ellen, 2:28— Ella, 2-year-old record 2:33}.
Owen Dale mare— Susie, 2:26£ — Suisun, 2-year-old record
2:31}. In the Lady Ellen instance the grandam was by
Belmont, sire of Owen Dale, and great grandam by Red
Brick, son of Bertrand. In Susie's case the Belmont cross
was omitted, and the grandam was by Red Brick, son of
Bertrand; both Ella and Suisun were bred and foaled at Palo
Alto. Both of them were dropped in the same yeer, and

both of them trained and driven to their records by one and
the same man. If it be advanced that Azmoor, 2:20£, whose
grandam was Belmont, had a faster record, then I Bhall
claim that 2:31} for a two-year-old is a better mark than
2:203- for a six-year-old. I find no direct produce of Elec-
tioneer and a Belmont mare in the list, Am I not, under
the circumstances, somewhat justified in claiming that better
trotting results may be obtained by breeding these Belmont
mares to a Patchen, and stubirg their produce to Electioneer,
etc., than breeding to Electioneer direct?

Bet Patchens are not fashionable, it is said. Well, neither
were Sultans a very few years back; and how fashionable
was Electioneer when Gov. Stanford purchased him? I have
heard it stated or have somewhere read, that when Got.
Stanford bought his stallions he had no such expectations
from Electioneer as he looked for from Mohawk Chief. If
this be true as it is undoubtedly true of the slight estimation
in which Sultsn and his get were held by the people of this
coast, as compared to other trotting families, why may we
not yet find what by careful selection may prove, the most
valuable as it is the most instinctively trotting outcross that
we have on this coast for our HambletLnian-Mambrino
stallions. I have heard the best of trainers and the shrewd-
est of breeders condemn the Electioneer, the McGregors and
the Kentucky Princes; but, tho Electioneers, the McGregors,
and the Kentucky Princes have come to the front all the same.

The Patchens Jrs., are not fashionable; they are not the
beBt family of trotters either on this coast or elsewhere. This
and more, I am ready to admit, yet I very much doubt if
there be a dozen stallionB on the records who, with much
greater advantages and far less prejudices to contend against,
can make a season's showing such as Geo. M. Patchen Jr.
did in 1888, when a sire, Ben Ali, trotted in 2:22 and tapped
Maggie E. in 2:19|; a grandson, Charley C, trotted in 2:251;
a daughter's produce, Maggie E., tiotted in 2:19|; a grand-
daughter's produce, Economy, trotted in2:30; another grand-
dacghter'e produce, Almont Patchen, paced in 2:15; a great
grandson, Johnny Hayward, trotted in 2:23; a great grand-
daughter, Rosie Mac, trotted in 2:20;; ; and another great
grandaughter, Yolo Maid, at three years of age paced in 2:14.

I do not wish to be understood as decrying the Belmonts
or any other line of thoroughbreds; muoh less would I con-
demn the efforts and experiments of Gov. Stanford and other
wealthy breeders in converting thoroughbreds into trotters. I
heartily hope indeed that they may succeed in raising
the thoroughbred to the standard and usefulness of the trot-
ter, for a more worthless price of horseflesh than a running
horse that will not or cannot run quite fast enough to win, it
is hard to conceive. It is a matter of congratulation, indeed,
that' these gentlemen of ample means are devoting their time,
money and energy to the purposes named and are practically
converting a portion of their breeding establishments into
horse colleges and experimental stations. It will, however,
be time enough for the smaller fry to follow in the footsteps
of these gentlemen, when Ansel, Azmoor, Palo Alio and
stallions similarly breed shall, when crossed upon half and
half bred mares, show a little of the ability to produce such
trotters as their all trotting bred sire does from undiluted
thoroughbreds. In the meantime, I believe that the farmer
and small breeder generally will meet with greater success,
and make more (or lose less) money by adhering to the old
breeding principle, "that like begets like or the likeness of
some ancestor;" and consequently to breed trotters, he had
far better select a trotting bred dam and breed her to a trot-
ting bred horse even though either or both be Patchens, than
rush blindly where hundreds of much greater experience
still fear to tread.

If the table which precedes these remarks indicates any-
thing, it certainly proves that the trotting instinct transmitted
by old Geo. M. Patcnen 2:23, to his lineal descendants on the
eastern side of the Rockies, is quite as, if not, more potently
exhibited in his progeny on this coast through Geo. M.
Patchen Jr. 2:27. Then Geo. M. Patchen's own and his sons
and daughters have b%en crossed with the oream of fashion-
ably bred trotting stallions, producing Buch flyers as Belle
Hamlin, 2:13£, Adele Gould, 2:19; Domestic, 2:20}, etc-, etc.;
whilst on this coast his son Geo. M. Patchen Jr., ur aided by
'fancy' strains breeds in through the male line, to Rosie Mc,
2:20£; Almy, 2:17}: Yolo Maid, (p) three years old, 2:14; and
through the female issue, when touched by 'bits' of fashion,
produces Voucher 2:22, Maggie E. 2:19f and Almont Patchen
(p) 2:15.

A tour-year-old record of 2:26} to his own credit and at
eleven years of age bringing to the wire one daughter, five
years old, in 2:20$, and another, three years old, in 2:14,
stamps Alexander Button, grandson of Geo. M. Patchen Jr.,
not only as a colt trotter himself, but as a bt getter of excep-
tional and extremely early speed. Whether this precocious
attribute was inherited from bis sire or from his dam, matters
not; it is there; he has, to, say the least, not lost it by reason
of btiog sired by a Patchen Jr., and it is evidently firmly
enough engrafted in his system to admit of biB transmitting
it, combined with his own gameness and race-horse qualities.
Here then is a Patchen outcross that no breeder of the very
choicest of Hambletonian-Mernbrino's need fear to introduce
into the veins of his blue-blooded matrons. I only hope that
the same State pride which induced odo man to pay a fabu-
lous price for Stamboul for the purpose of preserving his ser-
vices to the oredit and benefit of the trottir g horses of this
State, may not be caught napping in others when the shrewd
aud appreciative eyes of eastern breeders are cast upon this
great son of "only a Patchen." Folio.

Prejudice.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— When we look back
over the history of the world and see how prejudice has re-
tarded every human advancement, and how people have de-
prived themselves of benefits and blessings for long years
before they coold shake off the sloth and lethargy of habit,
we are amazed, and complacently think that we live in a
more fortunate age, and think that in the enlightenment
of the nineteenth century, prejudice will find no lodgment
in intelligent minds, and that any and all papers are prepared
to give studious and fair consideration to any proposition
claiming to be in the interest of human progress and ad-
vancement. But unhappily, prejudice is as obstinate and
unreasoning as it was in the days when it was a crime to say
that the world moves.

When we reflect that the predilections of horsemen for
some particular family has no better foundation generally
than an early formed partiality for some member of that
family, or, still worse, when it is but the borrowed opinion
of some horse sharp whose opinions are in furtherance of bis
interests, it is astonishing that no after argument or demon-
stration can move them.

These men never change and were it not for new men
coming forward with minds unbiased by early impressions,
there would be no progress. From my inability to handle
my own horses, and lark of capital to employ it done, I
have considered the policy of forcing some sales, and getting
a portion of the stock into hands that would give them an op-
portunity, and wrote to one of the best posted horsemen on
the coast, whose opinion, usually, has much weight with
breeders asking bis assistance.

In reply be says, "I have already talked to some monied
men and assured tbem that yonr mares would bring speed
and early speed, but they have answered we like block headp,
'no Blue Bnll in mine ' But that is the way with (Jalifornians,
they never appreciate a good horse, or a good mare, until he
is sold or dies. I see by your catalogue that you have 'good
goods' — a grand lot of mares, and the day will come when
these breeders will see that I am telling the truth."

This is an assumption that I have nothing but Blue Bulls,
when the fact is that there is no blood, recognised by any
breeders as trotting blood, that I do not possess. And as for
the present standing of the Blue Balls among well informed
people, these men who sneer at them only betray their own
ignorance of the present status of this great family.

In the east, where the Blue Bulls are best known, and
where they have passed through the probationary period of
detraction, and reached the stage of just appreciation, the
old and groundless prejudice against them no longer exists.
The editor of D union's Spirit of the Turf writes : "A. few
years ago, the writer who championed the use of thorough-
bred blood in the trotter was stigmatised as a crank. When
we took up the cause of the Blue Bulls, we were "another."
To-day, however, there is but one man who has "gall"
enough to declare against a mixture of thoroughbred blood,
and there is not one who 1b fool hardy enough to stand in the
road and attempt to oppose the rapid march of the great army
of Blue Bulls.

The history of horse-breeding has always been the same.
Any new family, with merit enough to dispute popular favor
with the old, and to jeopardize invested capital, has been met
with distraction and calumny, as was signally shown not so
very long ago, in the case of another pacing family — the
Pilots, now standing on the very topmoBt round of fame.

Mr. Broadhead, Mr. Alexander's supe*intendent, wrile3:
"Woodburn, for, years, was the only friend the Pilots had,
and without her fostering care the blood would now be an
unknown element in trotting pedigrees. "We were loyal to it
in the face of the severest criticism the public could bestow —
a refusal to buy any animal that bore the name of Pilot Jr.
in any of its crosses."

Comparing Bite Bull with the now famous Pilot Jr., so
able a writer as J. H. Wallace says: "Blue Ball was a greater
horse than ever Pilot Jr. was, and his blood lines are just as
well known and just as valuable. Then why should not the
daughters of Blue Bull make brood-mares as much greater
than Pilot Jr.?" Again he says: "This great horse should
have been called Napoleon, for, in all equine history, no
horse has won his way to so eminent a position. * * * The
fact still remains that this once despised pacer was, consider-
ing his opportunity, the must remarkable tr itting progenitor
the world has produced. * * * Some of his descendants
will outstrip any that have yet been before the public."

This prediction is already being verified. Boy Wilkes, out
of a mare by Blue Bnll. made last Beaaon the fastest record
for a rive-year-old stallion, and the fastest record for a pacing
stallion in a race. This horse's "bull-dog tenacity" is dwelt
upon with great fervor, and the writer says: "If a gamer
race horse ever took the word from a judge's stand, I would
like lo look upon that horse."

Should it be proven, as it has been published, that Blue
Bull is by the race-horse Wagner, and out of a mare by
Pilot Jr., you would never again hear, even in California,
the old slander and falsehood that the Blue Bulls are less
game thau the Hambletonians,

I wish to put myself on record as predicting that the time
is not remote when the Blue Bulls will stand higher as an
outcross for Hambletonians than the Pilots, and their revilers
will be among the first to shout, "I told you so!" If any one
cares to know the reason of my faith (for I have a reason), I
will be pleased to send him on application one of my cata-
logues in which I have gathered together some interesting
and convincing statistics on the value of pacing blood in a
trotting pedigree.

In my stock I have all the fashionable trotting elements,
in addition to pacing blood, which has accomplished so much
in other handB (independantly, and as an outcross), but with-
out receiving due credit. If, where the pacing cross occurs
in my pedigrees, it was written "unknown" instead of Blue
Bull, or Flaxtail, or Tom Hal, or Tuckaho, the pedigree
would be fashionable and purchasers numerous, bat the
quickening pacing element, worth more than any other single
line as a spesd producer, frightens and detera purchasers
who don't read and can't think, and who have just emerged
from some other business with plenty of money, a love for
the horBe, but no knowledge of him except what they have
picked up from track bums, who are supposed to know all
about horses because they don't know anything else.

We have seen what Pilot pacing blood, crossed upon Ham-
bletonian blood) did in the production of Maud S. — the
fastest mare in the world— and what Capt. Walker pacing
blood did in the production of Harry Wilkes' — the fastest son
of George Wilkes— and what St. Clair pacing blood did in the
production of Manzanita — the fastest of Electioneer'sget.

Now let us see what Flaxtail and Tuckaho pacing blood
(combined in Buocanter) crossed in the eame way, has done
at the very first opportunity. The turf journals of the
country are loud in juBt praisi of the "phenomenal young
stallion Sidney." Sidney has just five colts with records.
Four of these are out of three of my pacing-bred Flaxtail and

Buccaneer mares, and but one out of forty or more "fashion-
able" Irotting-bred mares.

To make these trotting bred mares the equals of my pacing
bred ones, as speed producers, they should have had titty-three
in place of one with records. M. W. Wilks.

Waxy's Pedigree as Shown by Mr. Gould, and
As it Is-

The interest in the pedigree of Waxy grows out of the fact
that she was the grandam of the famous Sunol, two-year-old
record 2:18, and that she has been represented to have been
a thoroughbred daughter of Lexington. Last January we
received a letter from Mr. L. S. Gould, of Boston, then in
California, advising us that he was investigating the history
and pedigree of Waxy. We know Mr. Gould's capacity for
that kind of work, and we gave him every encouragement to
go forward, to look out for the facts and gladly let
the theories take care of themselves, Jand we would
publish the resnlts of his labors. We have not restricted
him in space nor eliminated a single sentence of what he has
prepared for the public, all of which appears in another place
in this number.

The written or printed statement of the facts, made on the
spot and at the time the event occurred, is the final and only
authoritative evidence in cases of this kind. If there are
discrepancies in the statements then made and put upon record
we must reconcile them as best we can; but we cannot
accept an unsupported recollection of the color, age or sex
of a colt of a quarter of a century ago against the color, age
and sex of that colt written down at the time. To remember
what age a certain colt was twenty-five years ago, unless the
fact can be fixed by some other event that can be remembered,
is practically impossible without reference to the record made
at the time or soon after the colt was foaled.

The history of the case and of the evidence that was con-
temporaneous with the events may be briefly stated. John
P. Welch a civil engineer of experience and prominence in
his profession, came to Kentucky early in the spring of 1864
for the purpose of selecting and "taking across the plains to
California a certain number of horses, most of which were
thorougbreds. From his professional training he was capa-
ble of observing carefully, and noting correctly what he
observed. When he had completed his selections and
gathered his horses together, he sent on to the California
Spirit of the Times what we may consider a complete list or
invoice of the animals he started with. This is the firBt
piece of evidence Mr. Gould haB unearthed in the column of
the California Spirit of the Times. The second is the list of
sales of animals arriving and sold in California, and the
third is the proof of the age of Waxy in 1865. The different
items of proof as recorded twenty-five years ago, constitute
the "original records" on which the whole case reBts.

Mr. Gould's contention is that Waxy was by Lexington, out
of Mr. Swigen's Grey Eagle mare, and she out of Mary
Morris by Medoc, etc. He claims he has proved his conten-
tion, and this is what we will now examine. In its issue of
December 17, 1864, the Spirit of the Times refers to an adver-
tisement in its columns of ten head of the Welch invoice to be
sold at San Jose, and describes them as follows: "Six two-
year-olds, three three-year-olds, and one five-year-old, etc"
It will be observed that no yearlings are advertised.' The
sale took place January 3, 186-% and in the list of ten head
sold we find the following as reported by Mr. Gould him-
self.

No. 5.— Sorrel filly, two years old, by Lexington. (This was Waxy
— L. 8. G.) Bought by "William Woodward. $260.

As Waxy was two years old in December, 1864 she must
have been foaled in 1S62. It appears, from Mr. Woodward's
statement that after the sale was over they all "got pretty
hot," and then and there a lace was made between three of
the two-year-old fillies just bought, to come off in December
following. And here we give the summary of that race

"Wednesday, December 27, 1865.— Sweepstakes for three-year-olds-
S250 entrance; half forfeit. Closed with three entries. Mile and "a
quarter.

Eclipse j

Theo. Winters' b f Ada C. by Revenue, dam Sally Morgan' by imp

Emancipation " ™

W. Woodward's cli f "Waxy by Lexington, dam unknown
Time, 2:244.

This is the full and official form in which that race was
recorded ; and by reference to page 20 it will be seen that Mr.
Gould giveB the race but omits the caption, whicU shows
beyond all peradventure that these three fillies were all the
same sge and ail foaled in 1862. It is unfortunate that Mr.
Gould failed to see this caption "for three year-olds," for we
feel sure if he had Been it he would not have insisted that
Waxy waa foalod in 1863. The original evidence that Waxy
was foaled in 1862 is threefold : First, she wsb so advertised •
second, she was so sold, and third she so ran.

If, then, Waxy was foaled in 1862, as we have fully demon-
strated, wBssheoutof Philip Swigert's Grey Eagle mare?
This question iB answered by "original records" also fur-
nished by Mr. L. Brodhead at Woodburn Farm. [See' page
23 ] He says: "The Gray Eagle mare may have had a foal
in 1862, but as no charge was made for the season money in
1862, the chances are she was barren that year and bred as a
return mare. In addition to the evidence above that the
Grey mare missed in 1862, I find a memorandum in a blank-
bcok here, giving a list of mares that missed to Lexington
from the service of 1861, and Grey Eagle mare is in this list."
This settles the question; and to make it still more emphatic,
we will say the italics are Mr. Brodhead's.

It is said of the Hon. Tim Campbell, who, at this writing,
represents a district of this city in Congress, that while he
was privately pushing Borne scheme among his fellow-mem-
berd that had a good fat "divide" in it, he was met with the
objection that the whole scheme was unconstitutional. To
this Tim replied, "What signifies the constitooshun as
betwixt friends?'' So, the adherents of Mr. Gould's theory
will have to exclaim, "What signifies a year's time in the age
of a two-year-old chestnut filly an betwiit friends?"

There is one very remarkable feature in this investigation
as presented by Mr. Gould, and that is the astounding fact
that all the parties interviewed could remember a certain
chestnut filly in the band, but couldn't remember anything
else. Whether these men's minds are differently constituted
from other nienV, so that they could identify that particular
filly, or whether there was something in the way of asking
the questions that elicited the particular answers the inter-
viewer desired, we must leave to the judgment of others.
Take, far example, the statement of W. Satterwhite, on page
24, and we have a tine example of what coaching will do. He
understood that a light chestnut filly was needed, and she
must come out of the Grey Engle mare, and he was able
promptly to fill the order and write it down in capital letters.
Mr. Satterwhite, like very many of his class, when the glory
of a pedigree hailiog from ' Old Kaintucb" is at stake, is able
to remember anything or forget aoything that miy be
required. Everybody will see that theee recollections, or

"statements," &b they are called, when running contrary to
the original records of the case, are not worth an honest
pinch of snuff for a cart-load.

Now that we have shown Mr. Gould's contention to be not
only unsound in itB proofs but absolutely impossible iu fact,
there still remain Borne interesting points of inquiry abont
this mare Waxy. That our readers may get a clear compre-
hension of just what started lrom Kentucky and jost what
reached California, we will here give, in parallel columns,
Mr. Welch's invoice us he made it himself and without any
guess-work added to it twenty-five years afterward, and what
came of the animals that got through, as well aB some that
died on the way:

"When we compare this invoice, carefully made out twenty-
five years ago, in brief form, by a man of thoroughly trained
capacity, with the same as corrected (?) and annotated by
Mr. Gould, we have the very finest specimen of audacity in
attempting to change records to suit theories that we have
ever met with in a long lifetime. To borrow a figure from
the trotting-conrse, Mr. Goold seems to have so mnch run-
ning-foolishness in his theories that the very first dash he
goes headlong into the fence. At No. 20 he finds a "bay
colt one year old, by Lexington, dam by Grey Eagle." as
written down by Mr. Welch; but when the same animal
reaches California in December of the same year it has been
transformed into a chestnut filly, two years old. This won-
derful transformation of color, age and sex is really startling,
bat no more startling than the introduction of the statements
of a number of gentlemen to prove it. As this bay colt was
the only colt in the band by Lexington, and as Mr. Anderson
says "a superior Lexington colt named Frank" died on the
plains, we have no difficulty in determining with great safety
just what became of the bay colt without having to aocept his
miraculous transformation into a two-year-old chestnut filly.

Mr. Achilles F. Grigsby is made to say on page 22 that
"The list and pedigrees nf all the horses were entered in a
small memorandum-book by Mr. Welch, which, after his
death, was delivered to Mr. John Anderson, who was inter-
ested financially in the venture, and in whose possession I
frequently paw and had access to it in settling np the business
intrusted to me by Mr. Swigert." In this part of Mr.
Giigeby's statement we have a great deal of confidence, for tu
leave suoh a memorandum was just what a careful man like
Mr. Welch would do; and that it should pass into the hands
of Mr. Anderson, financially interested in the venture, would
be entirely natural. Indeed, we have no doubt that such a
memorandum existed, and probably still exists, and that Mr.
Anderson used it as the original authority in preparing the
pedigrees for the sale of the stock. Now, where is this mem-
orandum ? If found in the memorandum she would there
have a dam, and not have been sold as by Lexington, "dam
unknown." In those days, mares without pedigrees were
not bred to Lexington. If Waxy had been brought from
Kentucky, her dam would have been shown on the memor-
andum-book just as the dams of all the others were there
Bhown. With the memorandum-book in his hnn '
Mr. Anderson have allowed this filly alone to h
"dam unknown?" It is evident, therefore, that thi
of Waxy was not to be found in the memorandum

disgusted with her failure to ma

speed that he gave her away to Bob O'Hanlon on the spot
and that was her tirst and last appearance as a running mare.
The story that she got crippled the nest year and never was
trained again for that reason is one of the old-fashioned
"fakes" that were used twenty-five years ago to cover up a
failure just as they are to-day.

In conclusion we must beg the pardon of our readers for
giving so much space to a question so easily and so definitely
settled. That Waxy was foaled in 1862 there can be no
shadow of doubt, as shown by her sale and her racing rec-
ords. That her reputed dam, Swigert's Gray Eagle mare,
was barren in 1S62 is shown beyond all question or cavil by
the records of Woodbnrn Farm. Here the main question
ends; but where did Waxy come from and what was her
breeding are questions that still remain unsettled. There is
no evidence that she ever saw Kentucky, so far as the records
of the events are concerned; but circumstances point strongly
to the theory that she was put into the sale at San Jose and
given as a daughter of Lexington, "dam unknown, merely to
help out a disastrous venture. Nothing but the memoran-
dum-book of Mr, Welch, which was doubtless in the hands
of Mi. Anderson, can settle this point, and until that book is
produced we must continue to write the breeding of Waxy as
"unknown." That the pedigrees of all the others should
have been preserved and this one alone lost is quite beyond
the belief of any intelligent man.

History of Waxy.

BY LEVI 9. GOULD, IN WALLACE'd MONTBLT.

To trace the pedigree and history of this now famous mare
it was necessary to start from a tradition only that she was
by Lexington and was introduced into Cahtornia with the
remnants of a lot of horses which it was supposed came
across the plains somehow — no one seemed to know exactly
how, as her owner perished early in the trip and all pedigrees
were lost, as were many of his animals. Beyond this there
appeared to be a barrier as inpenetrable as death itself.
With such Blender material as a basis it seemed like an
attempt to prove the identity of a will-o'-the wisp twenty-tive
years after it had flashed across the lowlands. Thinking
that if such a conjecture had any foundation in fact the
death of this man must be recorded somewhere, back files of
the local papers were diligently searched day after day, with-
out result. Finally by extreme good fortune, a tile of the
California Spirit of the Times of 1S64 was brought to light
in San Francisco, although not obtainable at the office of
that publication. Fortunately this paper which had escaped
all previous examinations, gave the keynote to an investiga-
tion which has continued unremittingly for many weeks, and
at the expenditure of much money and thousands of miles of
travel in California, Oregon, Kentucky, etc., until thiB verit-
able sorrel filly Waxy, completely identified, has been traced
to the stable where she was foaled in the year 1S63. The
following extracts and statements, some of which are cumu-
lative, but all valuable as collateral evidence, are referred to
as furnishing the links in a perfct chain.

Extract from the California Spirit of the Times, May 14,
1864. In giving lists of the animals, the noteB and explana-
tions inclosed in brackets are my own:

"Fine Stock Coming. — It will not be long before the energy,
enterprise and means of the patrons of the turf in California
and Nevada Territory, and lovers of tine stock, will have in-
troduced as splendid a collection of horses as the most fastid-
ious could desire.

"Three gentlemen have lately left here for the purpose of
purchasing tine stock, viz: Mr. John P. Welch and John
Hall, Esq., of California, and Theodore Winters of Nevada
Territory.

"We have received tidings from the first of these gentle-
men of the most satisfactory nature. Mr. Welch remarks,
in his letter dated April 9th, to this office, that he is gather-
ing together his stock, and would start in a few days for
California. He has about thirty head, as the annexed list
will show:

of his death was addmsBed to John Anderson, of this city,
but no particulars were given. Mr. "Welch was a man uni-
versally respected and esteemed. He was~a civil engineer by
profession, and a thorough and competent one. In Oregon,
where he resided for a long time, he made many warm and
earnest friends, who will be pained to hear of his decease.
In a few days we shall be in possession of the details of the
melancholy occurrence."

Octobers, 1864.
"Fine Stock. — The Salt Lake Daily Telegraph says, under
date of September 24th, that among other passings to the
Pacific during the present week, was a fine band of thorough-
bred mares, thirty in number, from Kentucky, where they
had been purchased for Mr. John Anderson, of San Fran-
cisco, by Mr. John P. Welch of the border State, with a view
of competing with the best blood in the Pacific States. Mr.
"Welch and two of his relatives were taken sick on the plains
and died on the Sweetwater. A young man brought the
stock on to the city and passed westward."

October 29, 1864.
"Fine Stock. — We are in receipt of information from Mr.
John Anderson at Austin, Reese River, Nevada Territory,
which place he had reached with a large lot of blooded stock,
consisting of horses and mares purchased in Kentucky.
Some time since, Mr. John P. Welch, an old resident of this
place, left for the Atlantio States, commissioned by Mr.
Anderson to make selections for bim from the finest stock
which could be procured. He did so, and was on his return
with a band of horses, but took sick on the way, and himself,
father, and sister died at Sweetwater. Mr. Anderson was
compelled in consequence to go out and meet his stock,
which he did beyond Salt Lake. We are gratified in being
enabled to state that, notwithstanding the untoward and
melancholy circumstances attending their journey, the stock
is in fine condition. Mr. Anderson left a number of head at
Salt Lake for the winter, and eight head at Diamond Springs,
near AuBtin. He is now on his way to this city with the
balance, and we hope to see him in a few days."

December 17, 1864.
"In another column will be found an advertisement of a
sale of thoroughbred stock which will take place at the Fair
Grounds near San Jose, on Tuesday, January 3, 1S65. This
stock is a portion of that purchased by the late J. P. Welch,
in Kentucky and Tennessee last spring, for account of John
Anderson, Esq. There are ten lots — six two-year-old b, three
three-year-olds, and one five-year-old, comprising the get of
Eevenue, Ringgold, Knight of St. George, Lexington, Jack
Gamble, Vandal and Sovereign. This is the choicest and
moBt extensive lot of stock that has yet been offered at pub-
lic Bale in the State. The stock is all young and desirable
and of the age to be placed immediately in training."

December 31st the same paper contained another notice,
of which the following is a portion: "This stock is a portion
of that imported by Mr. John Anderson, and was selected by
the late J. P. Welch, one of the best judges of stock ever on
this coast."

January 7, 1865.
Referring to the sale at San Jose race-course the Spirit
savs: "It was slimly attended. The prices obtained were
ruinously low. Mr. J. L. Eoff purchased the two-year-old
bay filly by Revenue, dam Sally Morgan; the two-year old
filly by Bob Johnson, dam by Brawner's Eclipse; a^d the
brown mare, live years old, by Sovereign, dam Grey Eagle.
Mr. W. Woodward, of this city, was also a purchaser. We
will give a full list of the stock sold and prices obtained in
our next issue."

"Dead. — The bay mare by Sovereign, dam by Grey Eagle,
whioh was purchased by Messrs. J. L. Eoff and William
Woodward at the sale of the late J. P. Welch's stock at San
Jose in January, died recently by becoming mired at the
ranch of Mr. Woodward, of Napa County. This mare was
the dam of Grigsby's well-known horse Volscian, and would
have proved a valuable addition to the brood-mares of the
State. We sympathize deeply with her owners in their loss."
[This is a great mistake, as the dam of Grisby's Volscian
was the Grey Eigle mare, and produced several colts after
this date. See William Woodward's statement. — L, S. G.]

Statement of William Woodward. — "I bought Waxy at
a sale of horses at San Jose Fair Grounds, January 3 1S65.
She was represented to be by Lexington, but I do not remem-
ber any thiDg more of her pedigree. J. L. Eoff and Theodore
Winters each bonght a tilly at the same sale. After the sa3e
we went to a saloon, and getting a little 'hot,' made a race to
take place in the fall, play or pay, two hundred and Hfty
dollars each. I sent Waxy up to Nathan Coombs, at Napa,
as he had a ranch and track there, with the expectation that
he would put her in training for onr race, and then forget
all about the matter, being engaged in other business, and
never having had anything to do with runners. About three
or four weeks before the race some one spoke about it, and I
went to Napa to see how Waxy was getting along, but learned
to my surprise, that she had been running around and noth-
ing had been done. She was poor, lousy, and her hair was
coarse and long. Mr. Coombs said it was no use to train her
as she could not be put in any condition to race with Lilly
Hitchcock or Ada C-, both of which were in tine racing trim.
My friends all langbed at me and ridiculed the idea of run-
ning her in such form, but it was 'play or pay,' and so I put
her in the hands of Bob O'Hanlon, the only man available
to do the best he could with her. *At the race she jumped
away with the lead, aDd easily outran her competitors beyond
the half; but the lack of work told in the stretch, and she
was beaten home. Having no further ubo for a race horse.
I gave her to Mr. O'HaDlon, and never saw hor after. I
purchased do other horses at the sale, neither did I own one
with Eoff, and am at aloes to understand the article you
clipped from the Spirit of the Times regarding the mireing
and death of a Sovereign mare on my Napa ranoh in March,
1S65. It is utterly devoid of truth. Mr. Eoff sent Lilly
Hitchcock to my ranch immediately after her purchase at
San Jose, but a vicious bull on the place attempted to gore
her, and she was taken elsewhere.

and brood-mares, about fifteeD in number, being the balance
of tbe purobase of John P. Welcb, who died on the plains
while bringing them from Kentucky. On the 3d day of
Januarv, 1S65, this stock was oold at auction at the above-
mentioned Fair Grounds. Amoug those sold was a light
chestnut or sorrel filly with small star and hiud feet white to
the ankles. This filly was purchased by William Woodward,
of San Francisco, who some time after left her with me to
train. I distinctly remember that Mr. Anderson cr the auc-
tioneer read her breeding at the sale from a small pocket
memorandum book as by Lexington; dam by Grey Eagle; 2d
dam by Medoc; 3d dam by Sumpter, and that Bhe had crosses
of Bertrand and Eclipse. I am positive of this, and also that
her dam was a grey mare, dam of Volscian, which they had
brought over with her, and-am at a loss to understand why
her dam was ever represented as unknown. I trained her,
and she ran as Waxy one race only against Lily Hitchcock
and Ada C, in the winter of 1865, at the Ocean House Track,
San Francisco. After that race she was given to me by Mr.
"Woodward. It was my intention to train her for the next
year, bat she was injured in the hip in some mysterious way,
and was never entered in any race thereafter to my knowledge.
While in my hands she threw Alpha, by imp. Hercules, and
a colt by Clint Malone, whicb was afterward stolen; subse-
quently" I sold her to John Hall, of whom she was purchased
by Governor Stanford. Having advised Mr Woodward to
purcbase tbe tilly Waxy, I naturally took a great interest in
her, and being in the race-horse business at that time, was
very particular in the matters of breeding, and it is impossi-
ble that I should be mistaken in regard to the pedigree given
by Mr Anderson at the sale. E. T. O'Hanlon.

San Jose, Cal., Jan. 12. 1889."

Statement of John Weston. — "I came across the plains
in 1864. During the trip I frequently met John P. Welch,
who was driving a lot of some thirty or more thoroughbreds,
selected by him in Kentucky for the California market. He
died at Laramie, and afterward it was my melancholy duty to
bury his sister, who died on the Sweetwater. I was not in
any way connected with Mr. Welch, but was frequently
with the train until its arrival at Salt Lake City, where it was
met by Mr. John Anderson, of Sin Francisco, who furnished
the money with which to purchase the stock. Mr. Anderson
requested me to accompany him throngh to California, and I
did so, assisting in the care of the horses, all of which were
in a terrible condition, owing to their wretched treatment
after the death of Mr. Welch. Beside Mr. Anderson and
myself, two younger brothers of John P. Welch came through

one named JameB, now dead, and the other lives, I think,

in Oregon. I believe his name wbb Frank. I am very cer-
tain that they had a list containing the pedigrees of all the
horses which their brother, John P. Welch, hart in his string.
After crossing the river Jordan, this side of Salt Lake City,
we lost a very valuable chestnut brood-mare, which
probably went to the stable of some honest Mormon.
Subsequently another mare, one of the best we had. was
stolen by a man who came along in the train, and was ridden
away in the night. Pursuit was useless, and so we were
obliged to let her go. Some others died, and we left three or
four" at Diamond Springs, Nev., they being unable to proceed
further. Mr. Anderson desired me to go for them in the
spring, but I declined. It is don Dtful if any of them ever
got here. The balance of the lot, some fifteen or more in
number, <ve drove into San Jose, Cal., and left them at the
Fair Grounds in charge of Mr. L. S. Ward. They were in a
deplorable condition. One tilly I particularly remember.
She was a sorrel, wiih a small star and one or two white
ankles behind. She was a perpetual nuisance, and many
times I felt like shooting her. She would run a mile or two
like the wind, obliging us to follow on our fleetest nags. She
was the only SORREL" FILLY in the lot, and I am very sure
her dam was brought through with the train.

Statement of W. M. Williamson. — "To Levi S. Gould.

Dear Sir; J was at tbe sale of tbe horses and mares at San

Jose Fair Grounds, Jan. 3, 1S65, belonging to John Ander-
son This stock was bought in Kentucky by John P. Welch,
who died on the plains while bringing rhem over. I saw
them often both before and after the sale. They were all in
wretched condition, owing to the journey they had taken.
Among them was a sorrel filly which was purchased by Wm.
Woodward, who gave her, the following year, to Robert T.
O'Hanlon, of this city, by whom she was bred to imp. Her-
cules the' produce being the bay filly Alpha, which won the
great 'race at Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 26, 1S73, beating Joe
Daniels and others, the fourth heat being run in 1:45. Mr.
Woodward named his filly Waxy, under which name she was
run against Lilly Hitchcock and Ada C, at the Ocean House
Track San Franciseo, in December, 1865, both of the above
fillieB having been brought to San Jose by Mr. AnderBon,
sold at the same time, and came across the plains with Waxy.
I also remember that Achilles F. Grigsby, now of Napa Co.,
told me in the year 1865, that he held a power of attorney

Bcian, which Btailion I then owned, having bought him of Mr.
Swigert in I860. He said that her pedigree was beyond ques-
tion, and that she would make me a tine brood-mare. I am
certain that I am correct in this statement. This tilly was
sold at San Jose Fair Grounds, Jan. 3, 1865, andj purchased
by William Woodward. From my recollection of the corre-
spondence between Mr. Swigert and myself, I am positive
that he was the breeder of the filly in question, afterward
known as Waxy. The list and pedigree of all the horses in
question were entered in a small memorandum book by Mr.
Welch, whicb, after his death, was delivered to Mr. John
Anderson, who was interested financially in the venture, and
in whose possession I frequently saw and had access to it in
settling up tbe business intrusted to my charge by Mr. Swi-
gert. I also had a list myself, sent to me by Mr. Swiaert, of
the lot claimed by him, of which the sorrel tilly was one, but
after strict search I am unable to find it. The Grey Eagle
mare, dam Mary Morris, by Medoc, was one of those brought
over b> Welch and claimed by Swigert. She was the dam of
Volscian, before mentioned. Achilles F. Grirby.

Mary, died at Sweetwater, on the 10th of AuguBt. My
brother, James J. and myself arrived at San Jose, Cal., with
seventeen horses in November, 1834. I remember the sorrel
yearling tilly with star in forehead and white hind feet that
came through with the lot to San Jose, Cal. We had a white
mare by Grey Eagle which had a sorrel filly by Lexington,
that I think my brother got from David or Philip Swigert.

Statement of Jerky B. Welch. — "My brother, John P.,

His grandfather was a noted stage proprietor of the olden
time in Harrisburg, Pa., where he used over three hundred
horses in that line of business. John and myself owned a
ranch in the Willamette Valley, Or., and becoming interested
in thoroughbreds, he determined to visit Kentucky and pur-
chase some of the best blood to be found. As a result he
brought Rifleman, Mary Chilton, which was the dam of Thad
Stevens, and other noted horses to Oregon. Subsequently
he took them to California, and became interested with John
Anderson, who furnished money to return to Kentucky for a
fresh lot about the year 1863. On this trip he purchased a
large lot, and while on his return died at Fort Laramie of
brain fever in the spring of 1864. Such of the slock as sur-

Statement of L. Brodhead — "Levi S. Gould. — Dear
Sir: I enclose you a list of the mares bred by Mr. Philip
Swigeit to the stallions at Woodburn. Among them you
will observe that in the year 1S61 the grey mare by Grey
Eagle, dam Mary Morris, was bred to Lexington, and Beason
money paid. In 1S62 the grey mare by Grey Eagle was
returned to Lexington without charge, indicating she was
barren in 1862. It was not positive that the grey mare was
barren in 1862, as she may have taken the place of the old
mare, Ann Innis. In 1S63 the grey mare was not bred to
Lexington, indicating that she had a foal in 1S63. The Grey
Eagle mare may have had a foal in 1S62; but as no charge
was made for the season money in 1S62, the chances are
she was barren in that year and bred as a return mare. In
addition to the evidence above that the grey mare missed in
1862, I tiod a memorandum in a blank-book here, giving a
liBt of mares that missed to Lexington from the service of
1S61, and the Grey Eagle mare is in this list. * * * Satter-
white says Dick Jackson was with Welch. I think, with
what you have, the pedigree of Waxy is conclusively proven,
and you can get your article ready. The sooner it is pub-
lished the better. I forwarded some letters to you, and I
hope they gave you some additional information.

Statement of W. Satterwhite. — "Levi S. Gould.— Dear
Sir: Below I give you a statement of all that I remember
about a transaction between Philip Swigert of Frankfort, Ky.,
and a Mr. Welch. I was the manager of Mr. Swigert's farm
from January, I860, to January, 1865, and had charge of all
his thorongbbred stock. In the spring of 1S64, Mr. Swigert
made a contract with Mr. Welch to let Welch have ten head
of thoroughbred mares and colts to take to California, to be
sold on shares. Below I give a list of those that Welch got:

No. 1.— Bay mare by Grey Eagle, dam tbe Churcbill Mare.

No. 2.— Dark chestnut filly by Vandal, dam No. 1.

No. 3.— Grfij mare byGrey Kagle, dam Mary Morrla by Medoc.

No. 4.— Light chestnut filly bx Lexington, dAm No. 3.

No. 6.— Chestnut mare bought by Dr. Warfield, that we call tbe
Warfield Mare [Hope, by Glencoe (?)].

No. 6.— Colt out of Warfield Mare, No. 5, This colt was a bay, small,
but very nice, one year old, and I think be was by Swigert's Lexing-
ton (he by Lexington, out of Ann Innis

"There were four others, but I cannot remember posi-
tively about them. I think there was a 611y by Bob John-
son, out of a mare by Brawner's Eclipse, that we called the
'Keenon Mare.' The Vandal Filly (No. 2) was a very dark
chestnut, and very handsome: I do not think sue had aDy
white markings. The Lexington tilly (No. 4) was a light

Eagle mare, dam Mary Morris, by Medoc, was the property j aB8iBted Mr, w6ich in taking the stock from Frankfort to

A careful analysis of the foregoing evidence, culled by the
writer through personal interviews with all parties who have
either made oral or written statements, with a single excep-
tion— that of Frank Welch, who resides in British Columbia
— convinced him that there could be but one logical and
reasonable conclusion, viz., that but one sorrel or chestnut
filly came in the lot to San Jose, and that she was one of the
Philip Swigert lot out of the Grey Eagle mare. With this
thought in his mmd, and a complete history , of Waxy pre-
vious to entering the Palo Alto Stud, he turned his back
upon the verdant and flowery slopes of the Sierias, to prove
his work at "Woodburn," tbe resting place of the mighty
Lexington. Its courteous and genial manager entertains his
guests as a broad head with a broad heart only can; and so it
came to pass that every assistance was rendered, and the
fact was brought to light that Philip Swigert bred the
Grey Eagle mare to Lexington in 1861, and- returned
her barren in 1862, when she was again bred
to the same horse. To identify the foal of 1863
was tbe main question at issue. Philip Swigert, a wealthy
banker and breeder of Frankfort, Ky., has been dead
many years. So also was his executor, and his papers
were scattered. Mrs. Swigert, a very old lady, rendered
every assistance in her power, but no proof as to sex, color,
or marks of the produce of that year could be found. In
this dilemma it seemed as though all trace was lost; but
luckily Mr. Satterwhite. who was Mr. Swigert's overseer for
many years, was found, and stated that he recollected the
circumstances of the Welch matter perfectly well. He states
that Mr. Swigert let him have ten head of stook, and they
were to be sold on shares. He says he also remembers that
Mr. Swigert told him later on of the death of Welch, and
that tho venture was a total loss. He Eays he distinctly re-
collects that the Grey Eagle mare, out of Mary Morris by
Medoc, with her yearling chestnut tilly by Lexington, were
in the lot taken away by Welch. Thus the identity of
Waxy is established: First, through the record of sales of
January 3, 1865, at San Jose, Cal. Second, through the
statement of Robert T. O'Hanlon. Third, by that of A. F.
Grigsby, supplemented by that of W. H. Williamson. Fourth,
bv that of John Weston, supplemented by that of Jerry B.
Welch. Fifth, by that of Frank Welch, supplemented" by
that of George MoMurtrie. Sixth, by the Stud Service-Book
of Lexington at "Woodburn;" and, finally, by the testimony
of Mr. Satterwhite, the overseer of Mr. Swigert at the time
of the transaction with Welch.

Briefly summarized, Waxy was bred by Philip Swigert, of
Frankfort, Ky., and foaled in 1863. With her dam she
crossed the plains in 1864. As a two-yeai-old she was sold
by auction to William Woodward, at San Jose, January 3,
1865. On the i7th day of December, 1865, at the Ocean
Course, San . Francisco, Cal, without proper preparation,
she was beaten in a race against Lilly Hitchcock, by
Bob Johnson, and Ada C., by Kevenne. This was her
first and only race. Mr. Woodward gave her to Robert T.
O'Hanlon. In her thrtje-year-old form she was permanently
disabled by an injury to her hip, and was bred to imp. Her-
cules, the "produce being the great race-mare Alpha. Bred
again, she produced a bay colt by Clint Malone, by Owen
Dale, which was stolen. O'Hanlon sold her to John Hall, of
Alameda, Cal., deceased, from whom Bhe passed into the
Palo Alto stud, where she died January 24, 18S2. She was a
light chestnut or sorrel, had a small star on tbe forehead and
two white hind feet. She was by Lexington, and her dam
was the Grey Eagle mare, by Grey Eagle.

As a deduction from thi foregoiDg history, the pedigree of
the sorrel two-year-old filly by Lexington, sold to William
Woodward by auction at San Jose, Cal., January 3, 1865, is
tabulated as follows, viz:

Waxy, s m, fcaled 18G3 by Lexington, dam Grey Eagle mare by Giey
Eagle. {See p. 4U6, Vol. 1. Bruce'a Stud-Book} second dam
Mary Morris by Medoc: third dam Miss Obstinate by Sumpter;
fourth dam Jenny Slamerkin by Tiger; fifth dam Paragon by
imp. Buzzard. Bred by PhiJip Swigert, Frankfort, Ky.

The produce of the Grey Eagle mare is as follows, viz:

1855 -gr f Eagless, by imp. Glencoe. (A famous broodmare. Among
her produce were the following great racers: Mary Clark by

Lodi. She was again sold by auction of the effects of Alexander

Gamble at Menlo Park. Cal., and purchased by James P.

Sargent, of Sareent's Station, Santa Clura Co., Cal., on whose

ranch she died about four years after. Mr. Sargent is of the

impression that he raised three colts from her not enumerated

above, from trotting-sires, but could not at the time identify

them.
From the above it will be seen that Waxy was a full sister

among other matters he called my attention directly to a

Statament of George HcMurtrie. — "In the spring of
1864, being out of health, I concluded to make an overlandf
trip to California, and started in company with John P.
Welch, who was in Kentucky collecting stock for the Pacific
Coast. I do not recollect of whom he purchased any of the
animals. We left April 13, 1864, and drove the entire dis-
tance from Kentucky via. St. Louis and St. Joseph. There
were thiity-seven horBes and colts if my recollection sorves
me aright — many of which perished before I left tbem. After
the death of Welch, hiB father and sister, I took the Btage
through to California, and telegraphed to John Anderson, of

Oakland Canoe Club.

It blew a gale all last Sunday, and many of the canoes were
out enjoyiDg the fun. On Saturdaj the Flirt and Tocfa
were out with passengers, and had a fine spin up to the
basin and back. Most of the canoes carried full Bail on Sun-
day notwithstanding the high wind, and a lot of very pretty
racing was done. Frolic, Mystic and Gypsy were as usual
hard at it on all points of the wind, and the little Iris also
distinguished herself, making it warm for the largest canoes.
The day ended with an amusing catastrophe to the Commo-
dore, who, in jibing right opposite the boat-houses, turned
turtle, and was swept UDder the railroad bridge. He was
immediately pulled out and his canoe hauled ashore, neither
mucti the worse for the ducking. A good many of the mem-
bers are already making preparations for sunjnu-r trips, tho

Entries to close August ], 1889.

The new rules of the State Agricultural Society, 1889, will govern
running races; they require starters in Btake racea to be named the
night before, and in purse races entries not declared out by 6 o'clock
the night before to start. They are as near the Amerioan Jockey Olub
rules as it is possible to make, omitting only such provisions that
would be inoperative on this coast. The new standard of welghta
were adopted, which is simply a four pounds addition to all age
weights, but requires two-year-olds when running in their claBs to
carry 118, and three-year-olds 122 pounds.

The society are considering the proposition of giving a regular
spring meeting for thoroughbreds, and it is probablethat at their next
meeting a full list of rich stakes will be opened for 1B90 and 1891.

Colors Claimed.

I hereby claim as my racing colors, scarlet and bine, with
blue cap. Thos. Fisher.

Santa Clara Co., Cal.

A friend writea me from New York that all reports to the
contrary notwithstanding, that French Park ia all right and
that John Hyland, tbe trainer, expects wonders from the
great unbeaten. Aurelia is far aud away the btsl of the
Haggin lot at present. Byrnes is pnehiDg the mare to get
her in fix for the spring handicaps. Hanover ia training on
well, and Frank McCabe hopea to have him tit to start for
the Brooklyn. All of the two-year-olds in Senator Heart's
Btable are looking well, but of the older contingent Gorgo
looks the best, and her chances for the earlier events seem
rosy. San Simeon is thought favorably of by some, but he
is not as far advanced as hia stable companion Gorgo. Tom
Needham says that Wheeler T. will get a special "prep." for
the Brooklyn, and that Terra Cotta will Btatt sure for the
Suburban. Egmont in the same stable is coming on well.

Mr. L. TL Shippee, of Stockton, has bred three of his
broodmares to St. Savior, and three others to Greenback. Col.
H. I. Thornton will also breed the well-known race mare
Narcola to Greenback.

Mr. W. Corbett is reported as saying in the East, that
Sable Wilkes will be compaigned this year against all stal-
lions, and that he is not afraid of starting him against Stam-
bonl. -He will probably have a chance.

The Consolidated Bookmakers of San Francisco have been
awarded the privilege of offering the odds at the forthcoming
meeting at San Jose. Whitehead and Co. will in all proba-
bility be accorded the pool-selling.

Mr. C. F. Langley, of Salinas, has purchased from Mr.
Reardon, of San FraDcisco, the bay stallion Blue Gown by
Gus. He will be taken to Mr Langley's farm in San Miguel
Canon. The price paid was $1,500.

I learn from Sydney, N. S. W., that a match race will be
arranged to take place between the trotting horses Huon and
Leithamstead for $2,500 or $5,000 a side. From this far
distant point it lookB as though Huon should win.

It is reported in several Eastern journals that Mr. L. J.
Rose will withdraw from the ranks of the breeders,
his many other interests in Los Angeles requiring so much
of his time that he cannot devote the attention necessary to
the horse business.

D. J. McCarthy will take his family back East this year,
and "Joe" has promised me that he will send a letter each
week detailing the doing of all the Californian stables. Joe
is a bright writer and will send many items which will be of
interest to our readers.

The nominations for the Great Eclipse Stakes, for two-
year-olds, with $10,000 added, which the New York Club
makes a feature, has closed with 210 entries. E. J. Baldwin
makes 8, Senator Hearst 6, J. B. Haggin 3 and D. J.
McCarty and Brother 2.

There are eight horses in the new stable, lately completed
for Senator Stanford at Washington . Money has not been
spared on the structnre, and it is one of the finest equine
establishments in the country. In the stable are Mrs.
Stanford's well matched blaok team which excites the admira-
tion of all who have seen them.

A half brother to Mr. Newton's Australian colt by Epigram,
was sold at public auction at Sydney lately, for $3,600. At
the same sale, 17 head of trotting horseB were sold, the
highest price being paid for a colt by Childe Harold, dam
Violelta, which realized $3,350. Another by the Fame sire,
dam Kentucky Maid, bronght $1,200. The 17 averaged $588
each.

Quite a number of papers in speaking of SorreDto say that
he is the only living horse that has twice gone three-quarters
in 1:15 and carried 115 pounds. That is not correct, once to
his credit is all that can be claimed.

Dr. Klench, of Santa Rosa, has sent me a splendid article
on broken winded horses, whioh will be published next week.

C. V. Tnpperhas removed his race horses from the Santa
Rosa track to the one at San Jose, to be ready for the races
there next week

Visitors to P. J. Shatter's farm at Olema, have, one and
all, a good word to Bay for Old Rustic, and that prince of
good horses, Prince of Marin.

B. C. Holly, of Vallejo, porchared at the Kellogg com-
bination sale, on Tuesday last, the trotting stallion Moun-
tain Boy, for which he paid $6,100.

I Bsked Tom Hazlett, a few days ago, if he was going take
his string to Lob Angeles, and was told he would go to San
Jose mstead, as the expenses would be much lesa.

Goliah the favorite in the Kentucky Derby two years ago
was lately put in charge of Ed. Storms to train for steeple-
chasing, but showed such good work that it was decided to
return him to flat racing.

A winter book has been opened at Balimore on the Volun-
teer Handicap. Fresno is made the favorite at 15 to 1. As
he carries 122 pounds, when such good ones as Fide!?, Brus-
sels and Gypsey Queen only have 110 up, it seems a hard
matter for bim to win.

It is currently reported in horse circles that a gentleman
named Gifford, living in San Diego, has a young stallion
which can trot three beats in better than 2:15. The horse
has no record, so the story goes, and will be taken East this
year and campaigned on the big circuit.

T. H. Griffon has had two new horses added to his string
this week, one being Patch Allen by Geo. M. Patchen Jr.,
dam an Ethan Allen mare; the second one is by Albert W.
Both of these are tine looking horses, and should make a
mark for themselves this season.

O. A. Hickok has accepted the challenge issued by the
Sire Bros, to pace Gossip against Adonis conditionally.
He offers to make the match, provided the sires will send
their horse to this coast, and he will allow them one thousand
dollars for expenses. This brotherhood of expelled owners
may possibly accept Mr. Hickok's proposition.

A case of "Welshing" 1b reported from the Jersey tracks.
A firm of bookmakers, who term themselves the Boston book,
had a man at the bead of the business named Lynch, who
proved a plunger, and laid long odds against old Bill Daly's
Osceola, who won the race. When the event finished, Mr.
Lynch could not be found, and now his clients ar9 mourning
for their losses.

Starter Caldwell said to a reporter the other day: "Do yon
know that jockeys are the ones to bin me for a strangling
start, and very often by deliberately trying to get left? In
a field of sixteen horses I have known as many as seven
jockeys who maneuvered to get left when the flag fell, thus
getting an excuse for not winning, while the blame is put on
the starter."

The San Jose Blood Horse Association has a long advertise-
ment in this week's issue announcing their spring meeting.
The entries have been so large, and the horseB entered so
well known, that a highly successful meeting is beyond ques-
tion. The officials have worked hard to insure a grand suc-
cess, and the public will appreciate the efforts that have been
made on its behalf by a liberal attendance.

When the car load of boraes were sent East under the care
of J. W. Knox, among the many high classed ones was a
yearling filly by Norval, dam American Girl, daughter of
Toronto Sontag and L*ura Keene by Hambletonian, which
had been purchased by Col. R. P. Pepper. On the arrival of
the car at Chicago, the filly was found to be sick and was laid
off there, without any benefit, however, as the filly died
last Thursday week.

The Sporting World says that the Hearst stable is now
without a light weight jockey, Narvice, who has held that
position, having been sent home last week. He is a Spanish
boy, and his people wrote on to Allen, asking for fifty per
cent of the boy's wages in advance, and the rest they would
take as it became due, not leaving enough to clothe the boy.
Allen considered that, under the circumstances, it wonld be
an injustice to the boy to keep him, so he has sent him
home.

A few days ago, I saw Edwin C. A. Pacer owned by W. 6.
Johnson, of Carson City, Nevada, which promises to be one
of the bright, shining lights of the 1889 season. He is being
handled I y T. H. Griffien, at the Bay District Track, and
has developed a wonderful turn of speed for a green horse,
several quarters having been phown in 33 seconds. Many
good judges predict a wonderful future for the colt, and if
good work and steady application can make a record for him,
Mr. Griffien will do it.

About two weeks ago a suggestion was made in these
columns that a combination sale, held in San Francisco,
would be a good thing for the Bmall breeders of the
State. Messrs. Kellip & Co., announces this week that they
will hold such a sale in May, giving ample opportunity for
all to send in their entries. This sale will be exclusively
for pedigreed stock, and should prove very successful. To
enable the promoters to get up their catalogue in good season,
those contemplating sending consignments should Bend in
entries as Boon as possible. Any information desired in
addition to what is stated in the advertisement will be cheer-
fully given by Killip & Co.

Mr C. J. Hamlin, at the California sale, replied to a query:
"Bully! Glorious! That's what I think of the sale, my young
friend. And let me press npon your mind that the trotter is
booming. He should boom. lle*san American institution
and the Americans love him. They will continue to love
him and buy him, and pay big prices for him when the right
kind are offered. And this love won't easily die out. It
won't in years, mark the prediction. The trotter is King!
That's why I have Baid 'bully' and 'glorious' about this sale,
and the result justify the expressive words."

Mr. Judson H. Clark writes: "We have placed Bell Boy in
the stud for 1889 to fulfill his engagements. He has fifty
mares booked to him this Beason. My experience with stal-
lion for the past twenty-five years has taught me that a horse
cannot do himself nor his patrons justice by Seeping him in
trotting condition and using him in the stud at the same
time heDce Bell Boy will not trot any races this season The
price paid for him was a large one, bat we feel that it ii a
good investment, and were prepared to pay at least $60,000
for him before surrendering to other bidders."

Who Knows This Horse.

The following letter is taken from an Eastern journal. If
any of our readers can give the desired information, please
forward to this office:

"I would be obliged if you would ask your California
readers to tell what they know about Washtenaw Chief
(2:29), son of Hill's Black Hawk. He is given in Mr. Chester's
work as making a record of 2:29 at Rome, N. Y., in Septem
ber, 1865. If this be true, and I have no reason to doubt it.
be should be a standard horse, and his stock be entitled to
registration as such. I understand that he was taken across
the plains by a man from Kentuoky, together with a horse
called Bellfoander.

"I want to know the history of this horse, both before he
went to California and afterwards, so that I may have him
registered. When he was in California he was bred at Moody's
ra .ch to a mare from California Belmont, ber dam being by
St. Clair. The produce was the bay mare Lady Hoag, that
John Splan brought East with Rarus. She could, and did,
trot in 2:17 in California, and at Sentca Falls she trotted a
half-mile to a skelelon wagon weighing 110 pounds in 1:03. on
a half-mile track, so you see she narrowly escaped Leiuga
good one. Her tendons gave out before she was driven to a
record, and she is the dam of the colt th it my mare was hred
to last season, the sire of the colt being Jerome Eddy, 2:16$.
The horse was called Niagara, I believe, in California, and
was in the possession of a man named Alexander Gambia."

Entries for the Sonoma and Marine D. A.

We have to congratulate our friends of the Sonoma and
Marin District Agricultural Association, on the magnificent
list ol entries which they have obtained for their Stake races,
those restricted to the District being especially wellpatronized .
The free-for-alls have not been neglected, and it will be a
pleasure to see the large audiences which will be present to
see the Qneen of the two-year-olds start in her three-year-old
form. We venture the prediction that there will be larger
numbers turn out to witness the contests of 1889, then were
ever known since the Association started.

VETERINARY.

Conducted byTbos. Bowhill, M. R. C. V. S.
Subscribers to tbispipei can bave advice through this column in all
cases of sick or injured horses or cattle by sending an explicit descrip-
tion of the case. Applicants will send their nam" and address that
they may be identified. Questions requiring answers by mail should
be accompanied' by two dollars, and addressed to Dr. Eowhill, 1523
California St.. San Francisco.

Inaugural Address of Dr. Maclay Before the
Veterinary Association.

Gentlemen: In the first place it is my duty to acknowledge
the honor you have conferred on me by electing me yonr
President, and to thank you for snch a mark of respect. In
the second place it is my dnty to do all I can to benefit this
Association, and, if possible, to render its meetings more
interesting and nsetnl, creating and diffusing amongst my
professional brethren a more cheerful and hopeful spirit, as
well as a more ardent desire in the pursuit of laudable veter-
inary objects. Are we not told in that best of all books to
take" fast hold of instruction? Lst her not go; keep her, for
she is thy life. I only regret that a certain gentleman repre-
Benting a Senatorial district of this State, and who I am cred-
ibly informed, in the course of his remarks opposing the
passage of what was known as the "William's Veterinary Bill,
made the exceedingly broad statement that all veterinary sur-
geons were nothing more nor less than veterinary cranks,
and that a veterinary surgeon was nothing but a man who
had not the ability to become a medical man. I only regret.
I repeat, that the gentleman is not w.th us to-day, as it is
more than probable, I think, that he might receive such in-
struction as would better fit him to hold his Senatorial chair,
and enable him to advisedly pass judgment in the future upon
matters pertaining to the sanitary and quarantine measures
which should govern and protect the live-stock interests of
this State. Although not indorsing the Williams bill, this
Association cannot but regret that without the personal
acqnaintance of a single one of its members, and without
even so much as enquiring into the professional standing
either here or elsewhere of the members of this Association,
this member of the California Legislature should see fit to use
such discourteous if not defamatory language to the veteri-
nary profession at large.

The art of medicine is one whether applied to man or the
lower animals. The laws of life are the same in both, the
method by which those laws are to be investigated are the
same for the veterinarian as for the physician, and the co-op-
eration of the one with the other in research is of the greatest
importance. It is a common and mo3t justifiable thing to
speak of medicine as a noble profession. As a general rule,
men call it so, because its mission is to save life, which is a
fine thing to do. Undoubtedly the importance which
attaches to human life invests with importance the profession
which seeks to guard and prolong it. The veterinarian occu-
pies himself with the same lawB of life, and though his
department does not include the care of life as exhibited in
man, there are often human interests committed to him of
verv great importance.

Veterinary medicine must have come into existence as soon
as man began to domesticate the inferior animals; and that
this took place at a very remote era is amply proved by the
remains of the horse, the ox, the goat, the dog, etc., being
found in ancient tumuli, lake-dwellings, and caves inter-
mingled with the bones of primeval man. It is also estab-
lished by the fact that among all the members of the Aryan
race, the nameB of the domestic animals still bear the marks
of a common origin at that distant pre-historic period,, when,
before their separation into Greeks, Celts, Goths, Sclavs,
Hindoos, Persians, the common ancestry dwelt together and
spoke the same language in northern India.

From the Greek waiters we can see that the veterinary art
was studied in ancient Egypt. From thence it would seem to
have passed into Greece, where the great care bestowed on
the breeds of cattle, and particularly the horses and hunting
dogs, and the great sn ccess with which that care was rewarded,
incontestably prove that the veterinary profession had at
least made great progress as an art.

From the notices of Greek writers we see that many trea-
tises existed on the diseases of domestic animals — that by
Hippocrates, a celebrated physician of Cos, was deemed the
best. We must regret that most of them have been lost, yet
anyone who reads Senophon's work on the horse cannot fail
to see that he lived in an age when the veterinary art had
been carefully studied. During the flourishing period of the
Roman Empire, veterinary medicine made great progress, as
might be expected among a people eminently practical,
whose vast military establishment required continued
remoantn for the cavalry service, and who were unweariedly
employed in improving the breeds of domestic animals. The
awful catastrophe in the history of the human race known as
the fall of the Roman Empire, and the night of darkneSB that
followed, have deprived us of the erehter part of ancient liter-
ature. Among other losses we have to deplore that of many
works on veterinary medicine, the names of whose authors
alone remain. Yet enough remains to Bhow how carefully
the art had been studied, and what progress it has m&de
toward the dignity of a science. Upon this subject I would
refer to the treatises of Marcus Plato, of Terrentius, Varro,
of Columella, of Palladius, Vegetius, and the fragrant Gar-
gilius Martialis — all of which directly or indirectly deal with
the veterinary art. The celebrated work of the elder Pliny —
Plinius Major — on natural history may also be consulted as
throwing light on the veterinary medicine of his day; so also
may the philosophic poem of Lucretius — De Rerum Natura.
Every one has seen the earlier work of Virgil, in which in
immortal verse he treats of the breeding and rearing of cattle
and horses among the other cares of the husbandman. Many
have wondered how a poet should know so much of such a
subject. The wonder abates when we find it recorded by
Douatus that, after completing a course of medicine and
mathematics, the youthful pnet studied veterinary surgery
for a considerable time, was employed in the stables of Agus-
tus Czesar, and was first brought under the notice of that
emperor by his skill in the art. On the fall of the Roman
Empire, veterinary medicine, like other departments of
science, ceased to be cultivated, and for a long period fell into
the position of a handicraft, in which smiths, shepherds or
herdsmen empirically practised such treatment as tradition
taught or experience suggested. It was about this time that
the blacksmith or farrier came to the front and began to
n-.sert himself es the great depository of the veterinary art.
In classic antiquity, horses were not usually shod with iron;
r*nd even when metal was used for that purpose, it was com-
monly fastened to the hoof, not with nails, but with thongs
or thatchel like a sandal. It was among the barbaric hordes
which overran the Roman Empire, that the iron shoe fast-
ened with nails, came in vogue mnch abont the same time
ihat the tree saddle with stirrups was invented. How much
obvious improvement in the equestrian art should not have

been earlier adopted, is one of those curious facts in the his-
tory of mankind that have never been fully explained. The
fact is certain that the classic languages of antiquity contain
no words for horse, shoes, saddles or stirrups in their modern
senB6. Now the saddle throughout the middle ages — at least
when used for military purposes — was formed of steel or
iron, and was consequently the work of the smith. To the
smith also belonged the forging of an iron shoe and the driv-
ing of the nails. The last operation as we all know, required
no small skill, and the smith often caused injuries to the
hoof, which he had to do his best to cure. About the same
time, also, the use of the actual cautery became common, and
from these combined causes it is easy to see how the farrier
came to be regarded as an authority in veterinary medicine.
Nor were the ancient farriers the rude blacksmiths into
which they ultimately degenerated. They were the forgers
of armour, both defensive and offensive, at a time when that
art was much more highly cultivated than it has ever been
since the invention of gunpowder. They were men uften of
great attainments in metallurgy and chemistry.

As time wore on a great change took place in the military
art. The armies of Greece and Rome had been mainly com-
posed of a highly disciplined infantry. With the institution
of chivalry, this (about the ninth century) was entirely
changed. The strength of the medieval armies came to con-
sist almost entirely of heavy cavalry, in which man and horse
were completely covered with defensive armour, so that the
medium weight to be carried by the knightly charger was no
less than 420 pounds. A peculiar kind of horse called a
"destrier" and now lost was required for this purpose, com-
bining great strength with still greater enery, not, indeed,
for speed, but for rapid evolution, so that the knight might
wield his heavy lance and battle axe wish advantage in close
combat. These horses were procured at vast expense in
Spain and Italy; and, when procured, were subjected to an
elaborate training of years, until they obeyed the slightest
movement of wrist or heel, and played nearly as important a
part in the melee as did their riders. This severe training
and the exertion they had to make on service, subjected them
to continual strains and diseases; but as their value was
great, every means of prevention of cure was eagerly sought
after. The practice of covering the horse in every part with
defensive armonr also drew after it important consequences.
His ears were cropped out close to the head to permit the
covering of mail to fit closely; and for the same reason hiB
tail was not docked but dug out close to the croup. More-
over this heavy panoply of iron exposed the horse to alternate
sweats and chills that proved highly destructive. Such
things necessite some knowledge of surgery and medicine,
aud here came in the important part played by the riding-
masiers or marshals of the day. It was the profession of
these gentlemen to procure and train such hordes, and after-
wards to direct their treatment. Hence they carefully studied
the nature and constitution of the horse, and generally
possessed the highest deeree of veterinary skill known at the
time. In Spain, Italy, France and Germany riding schools
called academies were established. Some of them obtained a
world-wide celebrity. Numerous works on the manage, that
is, military riding, emanated from them, and to each was al-
ways attached a treatise on the veterinary art. In so high
estimation was this combination of riding master and veterin-
ary surgeon held, that it was exercised by the highest of the
military nobles, it is a very significant fact that the French
word "mareschal," which denotes the highest military officer
in France originally meant a veterinary surgeon, and is still
used as the name of the farrier. With the introduction of
gunpowder, chivalry was extinguished, heavy cavalry fell
into disnse, and the armies of Europe came to consist mainly
of infantry. This revolution brought about the decline of the
old mareschals with all their science and traditions, and that
art which kings and nobles had loved to teach fell into the
hands of obscure practitioners with little more Bcience than
that possessed by a huntsman or trainer tor the turf.

The Marquis of Newcastle, whose celebrated work appeared
abont 1667 (and is now appearing in the weekly issues of the
Breeder and Sportsman of San Francisco), was the last of
the military riding masters; and though after his time his
humbler brethren made a gallant struggle to maintain their
ancient renown, they steadily declined and the science of the
riding school gave way to that of the turf. The result of this
was that the veterinary art was fast passing into the hands of
blacksmiths, now no longer armourors and was in danger of
tumbling from a profession to a trade.

Coincidentally, however, with the decline of the professors
of military equitation, arose the first pioneers of the science
of veterinary surgery, properly bo called. In Italy as early
as 16 IS, appeared the work of Carlo Rnini, on the diseases of
the horse, profusely illustrated with superb engravings. This
was followed in France by the "Grand Mareschal FrancoiB,"
a work of great eiudi*ion. Soon after appeared "Le Parfait
Mareschal" by Solly sal, and this was translated into English
or rather Scotch by Sir William Hope. From that time num-
erous treatises appeared all over Europe, all having for their
object to rescue the veterinary art from obscurity, and bring
it into the form of a science.

Several of these writers, such as Gibson, Blacken, La Fosse
and Osmed were medical men of eminence. They did mnch
to free the veterinary art from blind empiricism. Yet their
practice and prescriptions, though vast improvements on
those of their day, are tinged with cruelties puerilities at
which an ordinary strapper would now stand amazed. At
this we need not be astonished. Those were the days when
medicine and surgery, even as applied to the human patient,
were of such a kind that we do not marvel that so few were
cured, but that any one escaped alive from the hands of the
learned faculty.

At length, as ordinary medicine began to improve veterin-
ary soience followed in its wake. In Italy some veterinary
colleges of which little is known were in existence in the be-
ginning of the last century. Bat it was not till 1761 that the
first veterinary college was founded in France, at Lyons, un-
der the well known Bourgelat. This was followed by the
now celebrated school of Alfort, founded in 1766. In 1792.
the veterinary college of London was founded, Charles Vial
de Sainbel and Delabere Blaine being the first professors of
it; and the work of the latter, which ha6 passed through
numerous editions, is still highly prized. Since then
veterinary colleges have been formed in every European
capital and in many of the principal cities. In Canada there
are two, and in the United States of America there are at
least seven colleges, where veterinary medicine and surgery
are taught.

Veterinary medicine has now reached a position to which
even in the most brilliant Jays of Greece and Rome it cer-
tainly never attained. It is no longer a mere art; it has be-
come a science, and a science of vast range and vast impor-
tance. It has passed out of the range of empiricism. Its
professors are no longer content to do or prescribe what they
have seen done or prescribed before. They wish to know
the reason of the practice they adopt; they wish to interro-
gate nature by experiment and observation; they seek to col-

lect and arrange facts over the widest areas and by every
variety of means, and they labor to evolve from the material
so collected, the concealed laws or tenors of a> tion by which
nature may be supposed to work. They do not reject theory
but they insist on bringing the most plausible theories to the
teBt of experiment. Unlike their predecessors, they do not
compel fact to square with a favorite theory; they regard
theory as valuable only when it harmonizes with and serves
to explain factB. There is in the present day a circumstance
that at once extends the bounds of veterinary science, and
gives it an importance never felt before. You are all aware
of the modern theory of evolution based on what is termed
natural selection or survival of the fittest in the continued
struggle for existence. Its most ardent and advanced votaries
claim for this theory the real explanation, not of the origin
of creation, as some have supposed, but of the origin of
species; in other words the real cause of the various typea of
life heretofore and now existing on the earth. I cannot sav
thatl am a convert to this notion. I do not thiDk that the
ascertained facts are sufficient basis to support the vast theory
which is attempted to be reared on them." But whether I am
right or not in this view, one thing, I think has been clearly
established, and that is, that among all the vertebrates
man included, the materials, organs, and structure of the
body are so conuected in accordance with some under lying
plan or law, that all are in strict analogy, and are only
adaptations of one common set to the wants and require-
ments of each separate species.

This adaptation appears to be brought about by the pro-
cesses of development, as though the great Creator had
utilized certain typical organs for every purpose comprised
within the benificient scheme of animal life. Thus to take
two of the most divergent instances— the horse and man—
the stifle joint of the horse is the analogue of the hnrnan
anee, the hock of the heel, the single toe on which the horse
walks is the anologue of the central digit in the human hand
or foot, the other digits being represented in the existing
horse by the splint bones which in the equine species carried
hoofs, and in btill earlier forms appear to have reached the
typical number of five.

These, and thousands of similar anologues, do not to my
mind prove community of origin, bat they prove unity of
plan and strongly point to this, that if ever the science of
life and curative medicine are to be prosecuted in an exhaus-
tive and effectual manner, it muBt be bv comparative anatomy
comparative physiology, comparative science, in short*
universally. Veterinary science has thus assumed vast
importance and has come into line with human medicine aud
surgery.

Neither of these two sciences can hereafter stand apart
The veterinarian has much to learn from the medical man"
and the medical man lrom the veterinarian. Indeed the
time cannot be far distant when for all the higher purposes
the two provinces of medical science must coalesce.

We have at our colleges, gentlemen who are eminent who
have distinguished themselves as scientific men— men
devoted to their profession, and who are most anxious to
make their students clever veterinarv surgeons All this
we are proud of; but are we who are'general practitioners
who are equally anxious to see our noble profession advance'
to stand still with folded arms and leave it all for them to
do? I maintain that it is the bounden duty of each man to
act well his part. Although I respect and reverence a cul-
tured and scientific man, I must at the same time tell you
ihat others, not bo favored by being possessed of high scien-
tific attainments, can, and, as history proves, have, investi-
gated and grasped difficult problems, thrown light upon
obscure subjects, and assisted to clear away mists which have
obscured for centuries some great grand truth. It may be
that such a one has been placed in favorable circumstances
had extensive opportunities afforded him, and, possessing an
enquiring mind, he has perceived cause and effect in a clearer
light than other men have been able to do, aud has seized
hold of a great truth which all other men have failed to
understand. We must recognize the fact that there is a
vast difference in different individuals in the intensity of
intellectual effort. Some men have a sensitive appreciation
and are impelled by an irresistible longing to seek out a better
remedy. What I am endeavoring to lead your mind to is
this, viz.: that any one of you, although you may not have
any pretentions to high scientific attainments, may happen
to be placed in favorable circumstances and have extensive
opportunities to clear up some perplexing and vexed ques-
tion in reference to the nature and treatment of some partic-
ular disease, and by a proper application of your intelligence
you may render a signal service not only to oar noble pro-
fession, bat to mankind at large, by recording it. Remember
an avaricious man is like the barren, sandy soil of the desert
which sucks m all rain and dews with greediness but yields
no fruitful herbs or plants for the benefit of others. In con-
sidering the origin of disease, the investigations of Pasteur
seem to have proved that we may now with certainty reason
m the belief that not only are organized substances re illy
found in great abundance in the atmosphere, but that they
are the cause of some hitherto entirely mvsterious pheno-
mena, putrefaction included.

Chemists when they have examined products of putrefac-
tion, have found sulphuretted hydrogen, carburetted hydro-
gen, and carbamc aoid, nitrogen, amonia, acetic acid, lactic
acid, buytnc acid, and numerous uncertain bodies having no
activity, and to all appearances, utterly incapable of produc-
ing those prodigious results that are found when the force
begins to work that produces those fatal diseases which deci-
mate our flock and herds. That orgenic matter, the debris
of living bodies, exists in the air can be shown by incontestible
proofs. It may be recognized by the sources and made evi-
dent by the scientific processes of the chemist. It has. been
rendered almost certain by Pasteur that fermentation and
purefaction do not go on without the presence of organisms
and most likely living organs. Pasteur first gave the sub-
stances duties to perform, giving, in fact, a finish to the
inquiry up to this stage, viz.: that putrefaction and fermen-
tation are begun only when there are present bodies in the
air which are not gases or vaporous,-but solids, and have an
organic structure and are living; so it will be seen, whenever
there iB a deficiency in ventilation in a stable there will be
an accumulation of organic particles originating in organic
functions, mainly the act of respiration and -perspiration
injurious to health, and ultimately to life, they being direct
poison to the animal frame. These statements are not new
but they are sufficiently important and interesting to be
worthy of recapitulation. We are evidently opening np
rapidly and satisfactorily a new era of sanitary science in
respect of a knowledge which is calculated to guard U6 against
the road of infection.

It appears to me that the time is fast approaching when all
doubt or uncertainty as to the existence of any"particalar
disease will be cleared up with unerring certainty by damon-
strating the existence of the particular or individual micro-
cocci, or bacheria, or bacillus, which the microscope will at
once detect in the sputa or execretions, or in the blood.

Pedigree of Waxy, Grandam of Sunol.

The article contributed by Levi S. Gould of Boston to
Wallace's Monthly, we did not see before it was copied,
the intention being to defer comments to this week. On
Friday morning our associate informed us that Mr.
Wallace had completely demolished the fabric which Mr.
Gould had raised with so much care after thousands of
miles of travel and weeks of research, and there was a
mournful tone, approaching lugubriousness, as he gave
the information. "We told him not to give up so readily
that Mr. Wallace was a skillful advocate, and in a case
in which near crosses of thoroughbred blood in fast
trotters were the issue, he was "dead sure" to present
the side he fancied in the most favorable light. While
we endeavor to be candid, we will also admit a prone-
ness. on our part, to emulate his example, and therefore,
in this controversy it may be as well to accept his argu-
ment, which is given on another page, and ours as the
opinions of partisans, leaving the reading public to
announce the verdict. In order that nothing may be
wanting, the evidence which Mr. Gould has collected is
republished, and the doubling of the space occupied is
necessary so that one number of the paper will contain
the whole of the testimony and the arguments thereon.

It is, of course, fair to introduce collateral testimony,
though in the mair, we will take Mr. Gould's statement
as sufficient pi oof. The republication of the matter
given last week, and length of our article are so mani-
festly necessary to give a proper understanding, that
apologies are not required, the whole matter being of
great interest to the breeders of trotters.

Mr. Wallace takes Mr. Gould's "history" as the basis
of his plea, his strongest points being made on the com-
piler's opinions and assertions outside of the evidence
gathered. In the very first sentence Mr. Gould is in
error, and the claim that "it was necessary to start from
tradition only that she was by Lexington," contrary to
his own showing. The letter of A. F. Grigsby, dated
January S, 1SS9, states that she was bred by Philip
Swigert, and that she t* as by Lexington and from the
dam of Yolscian. That of R. T. O'Hanlon, the trainer
of Waxy, and subsequently her owner, says that "I
distinctly remember" that her breeding at the sale was
given as Mr. Grigsby said. All of the evidence obtained
here was to that effect, and if it were corroborated in
Kentucky any reasonable man would acknowledge that
the chain was complete. The second mistake made by
Mr. Gould was in assuming that the bay colt, one year
old, by Lexington, dam by Grey Eagle," was Waxy.
That was in order to connect the list as published in the
California Spirit of the Times May 14, 1S64, with subse-
quent sales, whereas it is evident that the list was incom-
plete, and it was more than likely that the Lexington —
Grey Eagle mare filly was added after that was sent.
That there were changes is beyond question, as some of
the animals named did not leave Kentucky. Mr. Wal-
'lace lays great stress on the discrepancy between the
published list and the accounting thereafter, and as will
be seen, by referring to his argument, gives it extra
force by placing them in a double column, and calls
attention to the fact that the only colt by Lexington in
the list Mr. Anderson reported dead. This effectually
disposes of Mr. Gould's supposition that a typographical
error transformed a sorrel filly into a bay colt. Had
that list been furnished by Mr. Welch after he left Ken-
tucky, the absence of Waxy would have been- fatal.
But preceding the published list is the following words:

"We have received tidings from the first of these gen-
tlemen (Mr. Welch) of a most satisfactory nature. Mr.
Welch remarks, in his letter dated April 9th to this office,
that he is "gathering together his stock," and would
start in a few days for California."

Now^the transaction between Mr. W. and Philip Swi-
gert was a venture on the part of the last named, and
mainly on his risk, and the filly and others might have
have been added after the letter of April 9th was
written. The testimony of Mr. Grigsby settles the point
that Mr. Swigert did send a Lexington filly out of the
dam of Yolscian, and all who know Mr. Grigsby do not
need to be informed as to his trustworthiness. But there
is another fact which will strengthen this position.

R. T. O'Hanlon sold Waxy to John Hall under the
pedigree of by Lexington, dam by Grey Eagle, etc.

Mr. Hall bought stock of Mr. Swigert and Mr. Alexan-
der the same year, and was doubtless well iuformed in
relation to the horses which were sent here at the time
of his visit to Kentucky. Then the evidence is so strong
in establishing the fact that Waxy started from Kentucky
and was landed in San Jose, that the most captious ob-
jector will be compelled to admit that it is proved beyond

any doubt.

W. Satterwhite testifies that he had charge of P. Swi-
gert's thoroughbreds from January, I860, to January,
1865, and that among the ten head which Mr. Swigert
consigned to Mr. Welch, was a light chestnut filly by
Lexington and that he was sure she was foaled in 1863.

Frank Welch joined the party at St. Louis, and he testi-
fies that "we had a white mare by Grey Eagle, which
had a sorrel filly by Lexington. John Weston tells that
he frequently met John P. Welch on the journey and
assisted in taking charge of the stock by the request of
John Anderson, accompanying them to San Jose. He
further says that there W33 only ono sorrel filly in the
lot, and therefore there could not be any chance to con-
found Waxy with another, and the only opportunity for
substituting an inferior animal was before Mr. Weston
first saw her.

We have a straight forward account of the departure
of the Lexington— Grey Eagle mare filly from Mr. Swi-
gert's place, and that dam and filly were with the train
when Frank Welch joined it at St. Louis. Mr. Weston
completes the chain by delivering the filly to Mr. Ward
on the San Jose Fair Grounds. From that time until
her death at Palo Alto, there is no dispute.

We will not insult the good sense of our readers by of-
fering any further arguments on this point, as every link
is in place, though we are surprised that so complete a
record has been established.

In the Breeder and Spoktsmak of January 6th, in an
article relating to the pedigree of Waxy, there were para-
graphs woich have proved to be true prophesy. After
alluding to the difficulties in the way, we wrote, "even
after the search had been rewarded by the discovery of a
history of the purchase and transfer to California, of the
man or men who sold them in Kentucky, the description
and sale in our papers, all being in harmony, this would
not be received as full evidence by those who are deter-
mined to follow the steps of the old Scotchman who
proudly boasted, I wunna be convinced."

There is a point, however, which we will solicit our
readers to give careful attention to. Mr. Wallace claims
that she was sold "as by Lexington, dam unknown. If
he can find a single sentence to corroborate that outside
of the advertisement of the sale, he will do what is be-
yond our power, and the advertisement does not say so»
but merely curtails the notice to a statement of her sire.
But E. T. O'Hanlon expressly says, "I distinctly remem-
ber that Mr. Anderson or the auctioneer read her breed-
ing at the sale from a small pocket memorandum book
as by Lexington, dam by Grey Eagle, second dam by
Medoc; t'.iird dam by Sumpfcerand that she had crosses
of Bertrand and Eclipse." That our readers will agree
with us that there was not a single fact furnished by the
evidence to warrant the charge that Waxy was sold as
from an unknown dam, there is not a shadow of doubt,
and that irrespective of beliefs in the efficacy of thorough-
bred blood in fast trotters. The point of second impor-
tance in Mr. Wallace's opinion is that the invoice dots
not show that any filly by Lexington was contained in
the W'elch gathering, and the "specimen of audacity"
Mr. Gould exhibited by changing "bay colt" into "sorrel
filly" warranted the objector in giving it prominence.
When the whole testimony is give a careful consideration,
the absence of Waxy in the list published in the Califor-
nia Spirit of the Times does not have any bearing on the
subject at issue. It is such a trivial omission that, as
has been staged previously, without the foolish move on
the part of Mr. Gould, it would not have been given a
particle of weight. The letter received by the Spirit waa
written "a few days" before the start for California, and,
of course, subject to change. Hope and Jenny H. were
1ncluded in the list and did not come. Waxy and the
bay gelding, three years old by Lexington, dam Nannie
Clark not in the invoice, came and were sold. In sending
ten head of horses to be disposed of iu California Mr.
Swigett would naturally be governed by what he con-
sidered his interests. As shown by Mr. Grigsby's letter
he valued the filly highly and that was a proper estimate
as the Lexingtons in 1864 were gaining a high name.
though previous to I860, they were under a cloud. Sue
Lewis, though defeated in the big race at St. Louis, gave
proof that she was the superior of the victress and that
her defeat was owing to a combination which a 3 in 5
race rendered effective. Further reflection changed his
mind, and as Mr. Welch in all probability was too busily
engaged in preparing for the start to write letters, the
only object being to give the information to the editor of
the California Spiritqftfa Tim**, that Hope and Jenny H.
were left behind, Waxy and the three-year-old Lexington
colt added to the invoice. At that time horse matters
were not given the publicity which now prevails and the
country was in the throes of revolution. All kinds of
horses were hazardous property in Kentucky, and Mr.
Swigert had "a right" to think that there wad less risk
in sending them to California than keeping them at
home.

In 1863, we accompanied a friend to Kentucky, bought
the highest-priced colt, by Knight of St. George from
Miriam, at Woodburn, for S1000; a son of Lexington
and Bell Lewis for $250, and a Ruric filly for a comoar-
atively small price. Norfolk was offered for $800, As-
teroid for SI, 000. The colts purchased ha 1

across the country to Cincinnati, and the spring of 1864.
was if anything more gloomy. What was more likely
then than an owner should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to send at the last moment, valuable animals be-
yond the reach of conscription or theft, youngsters
being no more exempt than older horses. But the invoice
has little bearing against positive evidence that sub-
tractions and additions were made after the original bill
was sent.

And now we come to Mr. Wallace's strongest argu-
ment and the one which marked the down fall of our con-
frere's hopes. That was the age of Waxy. That the Grey
Eagle mare was barren in 1862, is beyond any doubt.
Had the "sorrel filly" been a three -year- old when she
ran in the race with Ada C. and Lilly Hitchcock in
December, 1865, Bhe would not have been by Lexington
from that Grey Eagle mare. Mr; Wallace claims "That
the original evidence that Waxy was foaled in 1862 is
three fold: First, she was so advertised; second, she was
ho sold; and third, she so ran." Mr. Wallace certainly
does not find this three-ply-cord of evidence in the mat-
ter furnished by Mr. Gould. In that the reference to the
advertisements says that there are six two -year- olds,
three, three-year-olds and one five-year-old.

As the sale was to take place on the third day of Jan-
uary, Ada C, Lilly Hitchcock and Waxy would rank as
two years old when sold, and as the report of the sale
was published on January 14th, had they been three
years old, according to tu-f law, it would have been so
recorded. If such a caption as Mr. Wallace adds to the
races was part of the original report, there is no excuse
for Mr. Gould withholding it, but there is no question in
our mind that the compiler records it just as it was
found. The only place that gives this information is in
that which follows "Third Day," as follows, "The sec-
ond race was a sweestakes of $25 each between the
three-year-olds that ran the day previous." We shall
prove that there were several mistakes in the matter
copied from the Spirit, and will now give proof outside
of that furnished by Mr. Gould which will sustain the
position established by the evidence of Grigsby, Satter-
white, O'Hanlon and others. Ada C, Lilly Hitchcock,
and Waxy were of the same age. There is no evidence
at hand regarding the age of Lilly Hitchcock further
than the statement copied, but by referring to the Amer-
ican Stud Book, Yol. 3, page 27, it will be seen that
ADA C. "WAS foaled in 1863.

In fixing the date of the birth of Ada C. in 1863, there
is no chance for quibbles of any kind. Dolly Morgan,
an own sister to Ada C , was foaled in 1862, so that
there is no chance to call the correctness of the American
Stud Book in question. As will be learned from Vol-
ume 3d of the Stud Book, page 90, Dolly had a numer-
ous progeny, and was well known in Kentucky. Had
there been a blank for 1862 for Sally Morgan, the same
as there is in the Grey Eagle mare, it might have been
an error.

There was a feature in connection with Mr. Gould'B
investigation which we could not comprehend, that being
the evident determination to keep everything as secret
as possible. Mr. Lathrop gave us some information,
and the only time we saw him after Mr. G. was employed
he imparted the knowledge he had obtained, but expect-
ing to see Mr. Gould soon after we did not pay the atten-
tion that would have been given, had the reticence of
Mr. Gould been forseen, as the supposition was that he
could not have any object in concealing the evidence,
and that he would communicate all that he had learned.
In place of that he appeared to be loth to answer any
questions in regard to the pedigree of Waxy, and when
in this office mainly taken up with studying the Ameri-
can Stud Book. An offer to accompany him in a visit
to William Woodward was partially accepted, though
the appointment was not kept, and from then we were
aware that Mr. Gould had resolved to keep secret what-
ever evidence he discovered. This, of course, he had an
undoubted right to do, but the methods of a detective
seeking to arrest a criminal, did not appear to us at all
appropriate in a case of this kind. In all probability
the motive was to prevent publication of any portion of
it until he had the whole article ready for the magazine
he was preparing it for, but this could have been accom-
plished by a request not to print any intelligence he
communicated until his article appeared. Had this been
the course and the letters received, and extracts from the
Spirit, with his annotations shown, we could have warned
him of the danger incurred. Such grievous blunders
were sure to be taken advantage of by Mr. Wallace, even
slight lapseB in the logic of arguments presented sufficient
to give the veteran editor the eagerly desired chance to
bring the whole into discredit, but when it came to such
. palpable errors as were made, and above all claiming
that a bay colt which, by his own proofs had died be-
fore Waxy was sold to be that filly, bo gross a mistake
Lhat we cannot understand how it was made. Mr.

I" Vallace charges that Satterwhite was "coached." There
m

are far stronger indications that Mr. Gould was induced
to pursue a course which would throw discredit on a case,
and the testimony gathered by him so garbled as to
bring doubts where a proper presentation would have
procured a favorable verdict without the jury leaving
the box. But according to law precedents, Mr. Wallace
cannot impeach his own witness. In the February num-
ber of the Monthly appeared the following:

Waxy, the Grandam of Sunol. — Our remarks about the
wonderful filly Sunol, in the December number, and the de-
velopment of the fact that the breeding of Waxy {her grandam)
was uncertain and practically unknown, has stirred up quite
a eommotion among the tumblers in the "thoroughbred"
ranks. A performance of Alpha, a reputed daughter of
Waxy, has been pointed out; anri if Alpha was really a
daughter of Waxy, it makes the presumption very strong that
Waxy had at least a large share of running-blood. Still no
one h;is attempted to tell us by whom she was bred or what
was her real origin. Fortunately, we have a very car6ful and
competent man at work on this pedigree, and he has received
specific instructions to trace and determine her history in
California, let the facts lead where they may. We want the
truth, and will have it in the end, no difference what theory
it tits or what it does not fit. Facts first, and then theories.
In the next number we hope to be able to publish the whole
matter.

While it may appear rather harsh to call the work of
that "careful and competent man" "the finest audacity,"
after such an endorsement, the charge, perhaps, was
waranted. But if the facts bad led in another direction,
had Mr. Gould favored the theory which ignores thor-
oughbred blood, there would not have been a word of
adverse criticism. The facts did not fit the theories
which the "careful and competent man" was expected
to promulgate, and hence in place of throwing out his
annotations and opinions these are made the cause for
doing away with the facts.

A synopsis of the facts collected by Mr. Gould shows:
First, that the Grey Eagle mare, the dam of Volscian,
Annette, and Waxy was bred to Lexington in 1862, and
that the produce was a filly, foaled 1863, afterwards
known as Waxy, and that the breeder was P. Swigert of
Frankfort, Kentucky. Second, that the filly was started
in 1864 by Mr. Swigert in charge of J. P. Welch, who
died on the journey, and taken to San Jose by John
Anderson and John Weston, and sold to William Wood-
ward. Third, that the identification was fully established
without a possible chance for substitution. As there has
never been any dispute regarding subsequent events, nor
any denial that Waxy was the grandam of Sunol, there
is no necessity for carrying the investigation further.
A good deal might be added corroborative, for instance,
that the offspring of Lexington and the Grey Eagle mare
was never heard of in Kentucky after the horses in Mr.
Welch's charge lefr that State. That Waxy in the only
race Bhe ran showed more speed than her competitors,
but was unable to keep it up owing to lack of condition,
and that when bred to imp. Hercules the produce was
the best race horse that horse ever got.

Since the above was written we learned where the
California Spirit of the Times which Mr. Gould quoted
from was to be found viz., in the Mechanics' Institute,
San Francisco, and our associate Mr. Waugh detailed to
make an examination, when greatly to our surprise it
was found to justify the charge made by Mr: Wallace
that Mr: Gould "omitted the caption." Surprising in
more ways than one. Professing to give a faithful trans-
script of the record that should have been incorporated,
and by what means Mr: Wallace learned that it was left
out is another mystery which can only be explained on
the hypothesis that Mr. Gould imparted the information
to the editor of the Monthly. That is the only copy for
that year, known to exist and if Mr. Wallace obtained
his information from that he must either have derived it
from Mr. Gould or directed some one to discover the vol-
ume which Mr. Gould does not give the clew to its hiding
place further than to state that: "Finally, by extreme
good fortune, a file of the California Spirit of the Times of
1864, was brought to light in San Francisco, although
not obtainable at the office of that publication:" The
mystery deepens and why such an indefinite description
was chosen in place of an accurate location, is a conun-
drum which is not easily solved.

We may be wrong in thinking the cue was given by
Mr. Gould, and probably are, as the associate editor of
Wallace's Monthly, Mr. McLeod, has been here for some
time and he may have learned the whereabouts of the
file in the same way that we did, that being from the
gentlemau who accompanied Mr. Gould to the Institute.
Monday last we met William Woodward in Sau Fran-
cisco, and he thought that the fillies were three-year-
olds, and when told to the contrary he replied that he
thought them small for their age, especially his own
filly Waxy.

It certainly seemed that when the advertisement and
summary agreed in making the contestants three years
old, that the discovery that Waxy was a year younger
was an effeotual estoppel to her claims to be a daughter
of the mare which produced Volscian. Even then the
testimony would overcome the objection, as it is too

strong to be upset by what could readily be a mistake.
But when another of the fillies is shown by equally as
strong proofs to have been a year younger than the
papers gave her age, every fair-minded man will agree
with us that the published statements and general im-
pressions were erroneous in lieu of casting doubts on the
pedigree.

We are of the opinion that the error came from Mr.
Welch sending to the California Spirit of the Times a
letter which was not definite, and that the person who
had the turf department of that paper in charge, in the
attempt to add ages made the mistake. This is not pre-
sented as an argument, as there is no necessity for con-
jecture when there aro absolute proofs. Then again,
there are numerous precedents, one of which is of late
date, and made by the owner and breeder. In the
Realization Stakes of 1800 appear the names of The
Czar and Don Jose, whereas they should be in that of
1889. If twenty-five years from now some one should
run across that list and claim that it be given precedence
over the Stud Book, supported by additional testimony,
it would be on a par with accepting the Spirit's acts and
synopsis of races and throwing out far weightier proofs.
Suppose that Mr. Winters should produce these two colts
to run in that stake, what a row would result. The Em-
peror of Norfolk would be involved, as in that case it
would be shown that he was only a year older than The
Czar, and, consequently, had been running a year over
his true age.

A disagreement between the English Stud Book and
Racing Calendar in the case of Bloomsbury, who won the
Derby in 1836, led to a lawsuit involving, not only the
stakes, but immense sums wagered on the race, and had
it not been that the Calendar was supported by the testi-
mony, the verdict would have been against him.

The difference was more trivial than an error of a year
in the age, as in the Stud Book the paternity was divided
between Tramp and Mulatto, the Racing Calendar giving
Mulatto as the sire. There is not space enough at pres-
ent to show the inaccuracies in the matter copied from
the Spirit, but in one ease Mr. Gould errs in ascribing to
the late James L. Eoff the change of the sire of Lilly
Hitchcock from Bob Johnson to Lexington. Few horse-
men paid as little attention to pedigree as Eoff, though
whenever we heard him tell anything in relation to the
race, it was to laugh over winning with a filly, the
breeding of which was inferior to both the others.

Wallace's Tear-Book, Volume IV.

We are just in receipt of Wallace's Tear-Book of trot-
ting and pacing, bringing everything down to the close
of 1888. It is handsomely bound in uniform style with
Vol. III. The growth of the trotting-interest is shown
here very plainly in the growth of this volume. Last
year it contained 424 pages, and this year it contains 488
pages. It is called a "Tear- Book," but it is far more
than that. We find that the performances of the past
year, exclusive of the indexes, only occupy 184 pages,
leaving the balance of the space to be filled up with th
cream of all the performances of all the years since trot_
ting commenced.

The great table of 2:30 horses under their sires has
grown to 124 pages. This table gives the pedigree and
best record of each sire; then follows a list of his progeny
with their best records; then a list of his sons that have
2:30 performers, with the number belonging to each;
and then a list of the produce of his daughters, with
their best records. This table itself is a grand epitome
of all past trotting experiences, not only showing what
each horse has done as a progenitor, but all what his
family has done and is doing in transmitting the instinct
and ability to trot.

The table of great brood-mares is expanded and im-
proved. The material for perfecting such a table has
been left iu ob3curity until a recent period, but from
what Mr. Wallace has done in the past, the attention of
breeders has been directed to the value of producing
lines of dams, and now everybody is looking in that di-
rection. As the book was only received in time for this
short notice before the paper went to press, extended
comments, such as are eminently its due, will be deferred.
This much can be said, however, that to every breeder
of trotters it is an indispensable part of the venture, and
can scarcely be dispensed with by any one who is engaged
in the business. Not only breeders as owners, trainers,
in fact, everyone who has the least fance for trotting
horses, will find it so valuable that ten times the sum it
costs, $2.50, would not tempt them to part with it. For
a frontpiece there is a likeness of Mr. Wallace, which is so
strikingly faithful as to be startling. Address all orders
to Wallace's Monthly, No. 280 Broadway, New York
City, N. T.

The w*U known Australian race horse, Sardonyx, has had
one of his knees smashed and a shoulder Bplintered. gis
owner, Mr. Andrew Town, will probably have him killed.

In a Hurry.

A few days ago, we resolved to make a trip covering
a journey of several thousand miles, and, consequently,
since the inception of the notion have been more than
ordinarily busy. In addition to our UBual work, there
have been carpenters, plumbers and painters engaged,
andimprovements, differing from the common plan which
entailed personal supervision. A friend remarked a few
days ago that, doubtless, we were lost without horses,
and when informed that ten were still on hand, everyone
of them requiring especial attention, he was somewhat
surprised. The visit will necessarily be a flying one,
and a month the longest time we can afford.

This will not effect the Breeder and Sportsman, as
our associates will be ready to render any required as-
sistance, and attend to whatever is requested in their
respective lines.

The Tear Book.

Partly a misnomer, partially correct is the title to the
mos*i comprehensive book in the library of trotting-horse
breeding or trotting sports. A history of what can be
termed really fast trotting from first to last, and a
synopsis of the genealogies of those whioh have earned a
place in its pages. A short notice apart from this
apoears, and the first impression was that a postpone.,
meut was necessary in order to do any justice to the sub-
ject. But as we rapidly turned over the leaves, glancing
at a well known name in one place, attracted by low
figures in another, though remarks, at all commensurate
with the requirements, must still be deferred the tempta.
tion to add a little more, must be gratified. Those who
have studied the former volumes will discover, after a
few minutes search, that complete as that of last year
was, this is better at every point, and in every respect an
improvement.

To point to one involves a general analysis of the con-
tents, and to do that will require far more time and
space than can be given now. "Were the merits generally
known, the edition, however large, would be sold in a
few days, as everyone having the least fondness for the
American sport, and who had $2.50 to spare, could not
rest until he became the owner.

Had Mr. Wallace done nothing further in the way of
advancing trotting sport than to publish these year
books, he would deserve the thanks of every one inter-
ested in it; could he have overcome his antipathy to the
royal line so as to have given the race, which is the
foundation of speed just recognition in connection with
fast trotting, bronze and marble statues of him should
adorn every trotting park in the country. It may be as
well, and that the situation and Mr. "Wallace's opposition
be of eventual benefit.

P. C- T. H. B- A.

Although six letters are needed to give the initials of
the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association
the benefits following the organization will be in a larger
proportion than six capital letters bear to the whole
alphabet, and as will be learned from an advertisement
Mr. Wilfred Page has consented to act as Secretary, pro
tern. From what we learn there is little room to doubt
that the project will be carried to a successful issue, and
we feel like congratulating those who are so deeply
interested.

While breeders are more interested than any other
class in establishing an association which will be of vaBt
importance to the breeding and rearing of trotters on
this Coast, all people which have a fondness for track
sports are concerned in whatever has a tendency to pro-
mote the interests at stake, and which will also tend to
the elimination of what is reprehensible in the manage-
ment of trotting events. There cannot be any doubt
regarding the standing which the proposed association
will secure from the outset. There are so few of the
breeders of California which have given occasion for
coming under the tongue of evil report, so few that the
breath of suspicion has tainted, that it may be claimed
that there are no exceptions, and hence the material is
ready to construct an imposing edifice.

There are many who are worthy and well qualified to
fill the offices that a choice will alone be troublesome
from the difficulty in selecting from the abundance, and
as there will not be a great deal of labor attached to any
of the offices excepting that of Secretary, we trust that
there will be no hesitation in accepting the places to
which the convention names.

In a conversation with Mr. Page he advanced the
argument that the Secretary should be a resident of San
Francisco or Oakland, and while willing to serve pro
tetnpore and do the work until the organization is per-
fected, that his residence being at some distance froui
where, in all probability, the meetings will be held,
wculd be a drawback in the future. It is of far greater

importance that the Secretary should have the welfare
of the society so deeply at heart that unrewarded labor
will not deter him from doing everything in his power,
and this quality we feel absolutely assured Mr. Page
possesses. Joined to this aie all the other qualifications,
and while we would have the utmost reluctance to
express preferences for the other officials, there is not
the least hesitation m "going on record" that in our
opinion Mr. Page is not only the right man for the place,
but that there is no one of our acquaintance so well
adapted for the position.

We have been intimately associated with this kind of
work for so many years, that we should be a fairly com-
petent judge of the rpquirments necessary, ard shall
have every confidence that with Mr. Page for perman-
ent Secretary, victory will result.

Notices will be sent to enough of those who should
"take hold" to ensue sufficient numbers to inaugurate
the society when the convention is held on April 3rd.
Once under way and there is little danger thereafter,
though there is danger that should the present attempt
fail, it will be some time before another trial will be
made.

Fresno News.

As eaoh number of the Breeder and Sportsman comes to
hand it is read here with much interest, but Dot finding auy
news from this lively little burg I thought a few items from
this section might interest your readers. There are quite a
number of well bred and speedy horses owned here, several
of them being quartered at the race track. I was surprised,
on a receDt visit to the fair grounds, to see the large number
of horses in training, there being fully 60 now there, most of
them well forward in their preparation. On making enquiries
I learned that there had only been four days this winter
on which horses could not be exercised; even then, however,
they could get walking exercise under the sheds, the place
being admirably fitted up, in fact much better than the
majority of traoks in this State. The stabling is of the very
beBt, stalls large and roomy, with deep sheds in front of each;
the track has been newly graded and recovered with loam,
which makes it as safe as any track in California. There is
also a fine two story club house, that east $11,000; it is pre-
sided over by the well known horseman, F. B. Baldwin, for-
merly of Buffalo, N. Y., who at one time drove Belle Ham-
blin, 2:13£, Sherman 2:23, Orient 2:24 and many others. He
is a thorough horseman himself and fully understands the
wants of the fraternity. He is the general manager of the
track and keeps things in apple pie order. At the stables I
found Mike Kelly, trainer for Mr. R. Porter Ashe, who very
kindly allowed me to inspect his string, and a grand looking
lot they are. They all look in good fettle, and if appearances
are not deceptive they will, overy one of them, earn brackets,
before they are taken East. There are eight head in training
as follows:

Mozart, b g, 6, Flood— Moselle.

Ellwood, ch g, 6, Norfolk— Ballinette.

Flood Tide, b b, 3, Flood— Lady Evangeline.

Ryland, b c, 3, Shannon — imp. Goula.

Geraldine, c m, 4, Grinstead — Cousin Peggy.

Mirope, c f, 2, Joe Hooker — Consolation.

Abdiel, b c, 2, Jaoko — Cousin Peggy.

Joaquin, b c, 3, Norfolk — Irene Harding.

Mr. S. N. Straube has a large stable of trotters under the
direction of John Donahoe, who takes delight in showing
off their good pointB to appreciative spectators. Among
the number are Lela S., 2:31£, White ABh, 2:48, Apes,
2:26, and Pasha, 2:36. Congressman, 2:32 is owned by
Hon. J, A. Landitt who also has a lot of youngsters, the
get of such good sireB as Nephew, Steinway, Alcona Clay and
Apex. His colts are all well bred and individually look in
prim condition, and as several of them are eDtered in stakes
to be trotted this fall, you may expect to hear from them
again. Mr. Straube at his fine farm has over a hundred of
as fine bred mares as it is possible to buy. many of them
being extremely fashionable and are considered "gilt-edged."
Mr. Henry McHugh has a public trotting stable here and is
highly esteemed by resident horse owners. That "Mac"
understands his business is evident to any one who pays a
visit to this genial trainer, and that he has many admirers is
evinced in the fact that he has such a large number of horses
under his care. I noticed among others the chestnut stallion
Daybreak, four years old, he by DawD, dam Gazelle, 2:27; 2d
dam Nettie Bennett by Belmont. This is a magnificent
young horse and is possessed of considerable speed, he having
shown a full mile last year over a slow track in 2,31, in
which he trotted the last quarter in 35 seconds.

If nothing goes wrong with him this season, Mr. McHugh
feels confident that he can touch the "20" mark before 1890
rolls around. He is owned by J. R. Jones, of the Park
House, where, by the way, all the boys coogregate to read the
Breeder and Sportsman immediately on its arrival. Mac
also hae in bis Blable a great three-year-old by Nephew, dam
by Sedgewick; bay stallion Oregon Boy by Alcona, dam
Liuania by Almont. This latter horse, owDed by Geo. H.
Bernard, stands 17 hands, weighs 1,400 poundB, and can
pull a wagon a quarter in forty seconds. Mr. A. T. Jack-
son h«B a brown stallion which he calls El Captain, 2:48,
by Nutwood, dam by Sir Charles. He has shown a veiy
promising trial and it is known that he can beat 2:30, when-
ever occasion requires. He also owns the bay gelding Ed

2:26}, and a bay gelding by Alexander that can trot in the
neighborhood of 2:40. I was much pleased with a two-year-
old colt by Dexter Prince, that gives every indication of be-
ing a grand individual, Mr. Jackson being of the opinion that
he should win many races this fall. Andy Brase has three
horses under his charge Dixie, a pacer having a record of
2:32. Sir Charles is a Wildidle colt, dam by Norfolk, of fine
appearance, and one that will make the up country
horses do fast time to beat him. The lost one
is named Lady Anna, she is by Hubbard, her
dam being a Joe Daniela mare. Dr. Etwards has a
stable of trotterB, the principal one being Wormwood, 2:25.
The Doctor is a skillful hand with the reins, and the young-
sters under his care are improving rapidly. Mr. P. Simpson
has a couple of mares whioh he is jogging, oue being by
Pilot Mambrino, the other by Abbottsford. Several gentle-
do not keep their horses at the track, having private stable*,
Chas. Bamers being ooe of them. He owns the stallion
Waterford, 2:27, by Abbottsford, dam Softlj by Speculation,
Of course, ae you are aware, we will have a apring meetiDg
beginning April 16. and continuing four days. The associa-
tion have hung up $3,600 in pnrsep, and everything points
toward a grand success. Visiting horsemen may rest assured
that nothing will be left undone tbat will tend toward mak-
ing the visit a pleasant one, and they are sure of receiving
the best of treatment. H. M. S.

Will you kindly let me know in your next iBsne, what are-
the performances of Prince Royal and Eolian, and the odds
against each in the Brooklyu and Suburban Handicaps.
Also, what is the distance to be run in each instance.

Answer. — Prince Royal started as a two-year-old, ten times,
winning three races; last year as a three-year-old, he started
sixteen times, winning eleven. The odds at present against
him are, Brooklyn Handicap, 30 to 1 ; Suburban, 40 to 1.
Eolian started as a three-year-old in twenty-two raced, win-
ning once; as a four-year-old, he started twenty-eight times,
winning sixteen; as a five-year-old he went to the post six
times, winning twice. He is not entered in the Brooklyn,
but the odds against him for the Suburban are 50 to 1. Both
races are a mile and a quarter.

WHAT

Is to be Done, when

THE

HAIR from the MANE and TAYL

FALLS AWAY.

Search both Mane and Tayl well with your Finger, and
Anoynt the Place with thisj Unguent. Take Quick-Silver,
and Tryed Hogss Grease; the Quick-Silver being first Morti-
fied with Fasting-Spittle: Incorporate them very well To-
gether, till the Hoggs Grease be of a perfect Ash Colour, and
Anoynt the Sorrauce therewith, every day; holding a Hott
Barr of Iron neer, to cause the Oyntment to Sink in. and in
three or four Dayes thus carefully Dressing him, he will be
Well.

This is a very Good Receipt, and I have often need it: But
1 would Advise you, First, to Lett him Blood, a good Quan-
tity, both in the Neck and Tayl.

TO

CAUSE the HAIR

TO

GROW AGAIN.

Take the Dung of a Goat, newly made; ordinary Honey,
Allom, and the Blood of a Hogg; the Allom being first made
into Fine Powder. Boyl all these Together, and Rubb, and
Anoynt the Places therewith every day, and it will Cause the
Hair to come Again apace. This is special Good.

I use to Preserve my Horse's Manes, making them very
Clean from all Filth and Dnst with the Brush; then Wash
them with a little Sope: And having Wash 'd out the Sope,
Pleat them up in great Pleats, and Undo them every Day)
Pleat them again; and this will make them Grow wonder-
fully: For, their Manes being Loose, they are apt to Bleak,
especially when they are Ridd, by Reason of the Bridle, Cave-
zone Reins, and Hand, that Rubbs against them: Therefore,
but upon high Dayes, let their Manes be alwayes Pleated.

Their Tayls should be always kept Clean, and Wasn't with
Sope sometimes, bnt wash't Clean every Day; and when they
are Dry, Comb'd out carefully, for fear of Breaking the Hair:
Let his Dock be Wetted with a Spunge often in a Day, which
will both make it Grow, and make the Hair to lie Even; and
his Tayl Cntt every month, which will both make it Grow,
and grow Thick. To Observe the time of the Moon, is but
an old Foppery; but to let him Blood in the Tayl, is very
Good.

Now you must understand. That what you take many times
for Dust in his Mane, are little Worms, which Eat the Roots
of the Hair away: This is easily Known from Dust; because,
if the Hair Falls, you may be very Snre they are Wormes.

The Cure is thUB: Make a pretty strong Lie, and Wash
his Mane with it once a Day, and he will be Cured; but yon
muBt take heed, that the Lie be not too Strong; for, if it be,
That alone will Burn all the Hair of his Mane off: So the
Cure will be Worse than the Disease.

COEKESPONDENCE.

Crab Orchard, Ky., March 3, 1889.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— If allowed to make a
selection for the SubnrbaD, I should say Drumstick will be
first or 81000^, and Jacobin will be the contending horse.
Drumstick has the best of it at the weights. He is a much
underrated horse. The J3ard, great as he is, cannot carry
the difference and heat either of the two.

Your readers all know clever Ed. Hopper, Secretary at
Latonia, or know of him, for he gets acquainted with every-
body everywhere; and everybody likes Ed. Well, Ed was
recreating at Crab Orchard SDrings a year or so ago; and
here he met a character — Crab Orchard haB a character. The
man is an "All Over Horseman,'' race, trotting, and, to use
his own language, **A reg'lar Vit" (for veterinary). He
sought Ed, and found him enjoyiDg a pure Havana on the
piazza at the hotel, and succeeded in luring Ed to take a
drive with him. The "Vit" had obtained a horse to drive to
a cart from a farmer here, assuring the farmer that he had a
buyer for him at a handsome price. Poor Ed was the
intended victim. After seating Ed in the cart and taking the
lines himself, he drove to the old race-course— all the while
talking Ed blind, telling his own prowess and superiority in
training racers, tiotters aod 'docterV ailing horses. Arouod
the track he drove at a rattling pace, and assured E I that the
horse was, a short time before, the 7,-ildest unbroken horse
on the continent, but was now "the safest and kindest driver
in the world — fit for a man to trust his family with." When
they reached the stand he drew up to point out Wagner's
grave, and while at a standstill, leaped out, jerking the lap-
cover with him, and threw the lines on the ground, to demon-
strate the safety of the roadster, and growing more and more
enthusiastic as he continued, he rushed up to the off-side of
the horse and gave the lap-cover a pop at him. Poor Ed!
Like Cassabianca, "Oh, where was he?" The way that geld-
ing went the first quarter 'round that track with the cart and
Ed, no one but Ed can do justice to. As soon as the panting
little fat "Vit" could get to the pieces of his cart, he assisted
the main portion of Ed to collect his disabled, disfigured body
to a shade to rest while he went to town for an ambulance
and doctor to set the broken bones and stitch up the numer-
ous cuts and bruises.

As soon as Ed was able to leave his bed, he was told the
"Vit" was to call on him, and to avoid committing murder,
he took the first train to Latonia, where all who want to
enjoy his favor, carefully avoid all reference to the "Vit"
driver at Crab Orchnrd. As it is sometime yet ud til the
Latonia races, and I «m not likely to see Ed until then, you
may use the above brief but true account of bis ride at C. O.
Springs. L. M. Labley.

Theodore Winters, of California.

"You say lots of inquiries come in asking who Theodore
Winters is, " mused the turfman so well posted i n the affairs of
•.he Pacific Coast. "I don't wonder at it, as the gentleman
never races East nowadays, and I think since the day he ran
the Duchess of Norfolk for the Illinois Derby of 1S82 his colors
have not been seen this side the Rockies; so I'll give you a
little idea of the man:

"Mr. Winters has been dubbing around the slope ever
since I knew anything about the people of that section— kind
of a speculator, you know, and could sell you anything from
a knitting needle to a locomotive. Well, he had lots or
money 'way back at the time when Norfolk was Buch a grand
race-horde, and offered Mr. Alexander $15,000 for the horse.
You've heern tell of the story, surely, how, when Alexander
was laughed at by friends for giving $15,000 for Lexington,
blind as he was and his racing days over, he retorted: 'Boys,
I'll sell a Bon of hiB'n for more money than that.' Well,
when Winters said $15,000 for Norfolk, Alexander replied:
'PresB it just $1 and he is yours,' and the Californian comply-
ing, Mr. Alexaunder had made good his word and sold the
son for just 100 cents more'n he had given for the sire.

"Norfolk was taken to the breeding farm of his owner at
Winters, Yolo County, Cal., thence to Sacramento, where he
most likely is to-day. He has shown many good colts and
fillies, among them Duchess of Norfolk and King of Norfolk,
but crowned his achievements with that great race-horse, the
Emperor of Norfolk, first-class as a two-year-old and invinci-
ble at three, as his victories, chief of wbich was the American
Derby — proved, that is, against horseB of his own age.

"What kind of a man is Winters personally? A mighty
tough and crusty old fellow, I assure you, with a reputation
for the most sterling integrity. Course some people Bay he's
hard, and I've known when, at an early day, from his farm
in Washoe City, Nev., he carted in garden truck, hay, etc.,
over the twelve miles to Virginia City and charged big prices,
and used to get $20 a cord for wood; but what o' that? I
b'lieve aDy man has got a right to squeeze people, leastwise
that's what the monopolists all get credit for bein' smart fur,
ain't it? The old fellow was smart enough to work the irriga-
tion scheme and get the dirt to produce, anyhow, and made
sort of a dairy farm outer the place.

"Any other horse bred by him of account? Say, boy,
what's matter? Don't you know he bred Mollie McCarthy,
that little piece of horseflesh, all steel, that just eat np the
ground, not 'pearin' to be goin* a bit and just gallopin' every-
thing else to death? Yes, Mollie washis'n, and in her he had
a race nag whose like never was, I swow, and I don't bar
your Blink Bonuie either, ef she did win the Epsom Derby.

,, Great-bred one? No. I gness not; here's her pedigree:
By Monday, out of Hennie Farrow. Monday was owned by
Francis Morris (father of John A., who has just built the
new race-traok at Westchester, N. Y.} and was sired by Colton
(he by Lexington), dam Mollie Jackson, by Vandal. Great
blood that; and a sou of Monday, Joe Hooker, was the sire of
that big sprinter Jim Kenwiok, who could mow down every-
thing at five-eighths, and waB a cunning mug at that, never
getting off unless he had a shade the beBi of the start, and
always stood sideways on the mark, lookingout that no horse
broke ahead of him. Mollie raced against Ten Broeck at
Louisville, July 4, 1878, and nobody'll ever know whether
Bhe could have won or not — lots of Bcolly-foxing about that
race, I always thought, and some green folks handling things
— but at three miles she was certainly goin' easy, while at
four she was outside the flag.

"E. J. Balwiu waB her owner on that day, he having
bought her from Mr. Winters at Omaha, the mare being en
route from San Francisco to Chicago. Then Old Luoky took
her up to a stock farm Illinois and laid her off till fall, then
sent her lo 8l. Pen), where the poor thing couldn't run a
leetle bit and made us fellers weep, for we put up money on
her against Buch a field of 'crabs' as siarted, with the greatest
confidence, for class, my boy, is a great thing in racing.

"Then Mollie went baok to California and wintered down
at the ranch at Los Angeles. Reports were to the effect that
she'd never be worth a dollar again as a race nag, and when
at the 'Frisco spring races she appeared it looked like the re-
ports were true for Bhe Bhowed as poor as a crow; hair all

turned the wrong way, and a general look was about her
from ear to fetlock that 'ud makea man wish to club old Bald-
win for startiug her in such condition. But when the home-
stretch was made by the horses that started with her in a
long-distance race,T stared, rubbed rm eyes and stared again.
for there, creeping'away from the others with that matchless
low stride, was Mollie McCarthy. She ran home untouched,
winning easily, aod for the first time we knew that there
might be something about E. J. Baldwin beside mere luck.
I tell you he made a big haol that day, getting at least 10 to
1 for his money. They knocked me out soon hereafter, and
I wasn't at Chicago the day Mollie won the Garden City cup,
but I know Baldwin killed 'em that day, too.

"So you see that Theo Winters is a man worth talking
about, for he bred the three animals which made the biggest
raoing sensations ever known in Chicago, viz. DncheBB of
Norfolk, Mollie McCarthy, and the Emperor of Norfolk."

THE GUN,

Mr. Frank J. Baesford contemplates a seuliDg trip into
Alaskan waters jnst for novelty's sake. He had better win the
Selby medal before he goes, or he may lose the advantage
gained by having won it twise already.

The California Wing Shooting Club will meet at San
Bruno, to-morrow, to complete the scores begun on March
10th, and left unfinished because of the storm. The grounds
at San Bruno have been refitted under direction of Secretary
Will DeVaull, and are in first rate condition. Visitors should
take the 8:30 a. m. train from Fourth and Townsend streets.

Mr. Joe Bassford writes that he has had a good day with the
geese on the plains nearElmira. in company with a San Fran-
cisco friend. He dug holes for blinds, and as fast as geese were
killed they were set up as decoys. One hundred and thirty-
six fat birds, honkers, white geese and brant, rewarded the
hunters. Mr. Bassford inqnires about the pheasants acclim-
ated in Oregon, whether they are Chinese or Japanese birds,
whether they lie to a dog, and what sort of country they
thrive in. We hope some of our readers will answer the
queries.

From the Knights of the Trigger.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The Annual Meeting of
the Knights of the Trigger, of Kern County, will beheld at
the Club Booms of the Association on Saturday, April 6th, at
8 o'clock P. m. At this meeting officers will be elected for
the ensuing yeary, reports will be received and the business
of the fiscal year completed, therefore, it is heartily desired
that each member be present.

The officers of the Aesociation feel that the Knights have
been instrumental in doing much good in our county, and
with the experience of tha past they hope to profit in the
future, and~ at the annual meeting in 1890 make a much
better showing than they are able to do at this time, and
earnestly request the co-operation of tbe members to assist
in fulfilling the objects for which the organization was created.
A. T. Lightnir, Secretary.

ROD.

A party headed bv Joseph M. Bassford Jr., leaves on April
10th for the South Fork of Feather river. The leader writes:
"I want trout and bacon. Am going to have them, too."

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Please inform me
through your next issue whether 1 will be subject to fine or
not for fishing trout Sunday, March 31, 1S89. Subscriber.

[If yon take, catch or kill any speckled trout, brook or
Ealmon trout, or any variety of trout in California on March
31st, you will be guilty of misdemeanor and subject to fine.
We sympathize with you in the desire to wet a line, but it
cannot rightly be done before Monday, April 1st.— Ed.]

Chat About Trout.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A trout fisher's pro-
pensity to talk of his experience in luring the smartest of all
fish to take a hook and cut short his trout life to adorn atale,
or grace a table, is notorious. Few of them, however, care
to go to the trouble of putting their thoughts on paper. They
rather prefer to have a quiet sitting of fellow anglers, and re-
late their stories with such adornments and variations as the
character of the company and their mutual expressions sug-
gest. Among the few, who are equally foud of fishing and
writing, are Isaac Walton, f etronella, and (a gr-iat ways be-
hind) your humble correspondent. This much for a friendly
greeting; now for a social chat with all the lovers of nature
and truth, as they are found in the pursuit of the trout. Tbe
rains have come in abundance and swelled the mountain
stream?, opening a way from tbe sea to the trout region, for
that portion of the salmon family that alternate between the
great" sea and tbe cool spring brooks of the coast range. This
much mooted question seems to be settled in the affirmative,
though a few lovers of the art Btill doubt the migration and
change of habit of the trout, and Bententiously ask what be-
come of the immigrants, for they are never seen going down
the stream, aod clinch the matter by saying that going back
1b an impossibility, aB the streams cease running to the sea
early in the summer. We might as well deny that great
school b of 6almou go up the Columbia two thousand miles.
and sometimes crowd tbe streams, because kb do not know
how or when they go back, for it is proved beyond a doubt,
that the trout or salmonoid mentioned, lie in wait along the

sand bars or fstuahea that form in summer across the outlets
of the mountain streams, awaiting the breaking throngh of
the winter floods, that they may reach their spawning
grounds. We will merely suggest the idea, that, finding
themselves shut off from the sea by the intervening dry
channels, they make tbe best of the situation and adapt
themselves to the changed circumstances. While waiting
for their winter journey they are often caught by hundreds,
making quite a showing among the fish of the markets.
When tbe streams are opened they are soon found on the
riffles of the lower falls, and, later still higher up in the
mountains. As many aa one hundred and fifty have been
taken from one riffle in a single day. We hear the same
Btory from other creeks running into tbe Ssnta Clara Valley.
Some have already been seen in the Saratoga Creek. The
Pajaro river is notorious for the big trout that are caught in
company with the salmon. A catch of a dozen weighing
from one to three pounds each is not uncommon. When
these first arrive they have Bilver sides and bellies, and a
back of beautiful steel blue. Their heads are smooth and
handsome, with a vastly different expression from those of
the trout family that have spent their lives in battling for
life with the conns, snakes and other vermin, that like to par-
take of the delicate flesh of the brook trout. The difference
is much like that between a country raised boy and a city
tough. One has the rounded face and the plump lips that
indicate plenty, peace and innocence: the other has the
shrunken face and the lean, aDd. perhaps, hawkbilled jaws
that indicate a constant struggle with adverse conditions,
we beg pardon of the trout for this most extraordinary com-
parison. We only mean tbat he is a victim to circumstances.
In his last estate he is about as elusive to tbe angler as a city
hoodlum is to the average policeman.

Soon after the arrival of the trout his silver sides give
away to a somber hue, flecked with spots which soon assume
the well known scarlet tinge. His back becomes the color
of the bed of the stream in which be locates. On a clear
sandy bottom he is a granite gray; in a dark stream bound
with mossy rocks in the shadow of great redwoods he be-
comes neariy black, clearly an adaptation of color to circum-
stances. An exposure to the light an hour or two will
reduce all to the same color.

It is a fact worthy of notice that the schools are generally
found in the portions of the stream that have a tight, rocky
bottom, where there is open running water all summer, while
above and below .the water runs though deep channels of
gravel .

It is possible that the yonng fry, unlike most of the salmon
family, remain a year on or near their spawning beds. If
as Professor Agassiz asserts, there are fourteen varieties on this
Coast, they are the evolution of necessities, an adaptation of
habits to the peculiar character of California brooks, that run
a vigorous Btream in the mountains to be lost in the dry
gravelly levels that are channels of the winter torrents. This
letter so far contains some facts and some hypothetic cases,
which the writer hopes may lead to a better'understanding
of trout habits.

If there is doubt about the history of the trout there is
none, whatever, about the facts that he is here, and that
the streams of the Santa Cruz mountains furnish excellent
sport, and that the season for the lawful fishing is near at
hand. The word lawful suggests that hundreds are, and
nave been catching them at any time, regardless of the law,
notwithstanding each life sacrificed carries in its body tbe
germ of thonssnda of others. The general violation of the
law is much to be regretted. Happily the trout during their
spawning period are not greedy for food, otherwise the whole
family would soon be exterminated. Let us hope that the
wiseBt and best of the race attend strictly to business during
the season for propagating their species, taking no hoiks,
however luring, until this important matter is provided for.
Certainly the genuine lover of the sport does not care to fill
his basket with lean, flabby and sickly trout that in the
struggle of being unhooked and put into the basket, will
smear his hand with seminal fluid or fish eggs. The trout
are then feeble, have little game in them, and are unfit for
the table. It is not presumed that this article will reach
that class of sportsmen? or the writer would have been
tempted to use some epithetB more forcible than eloquent.
As uBual the Los Gatos last season furnished some excel-
lent fishing, though no large fish were hooked, nor were
large baskets made. The largest of the season was caught
near the old Forbes mill, and was some eighteen inches long.
He had 6ve or six hooks in his mouth, which, however, did
not trouble him much, for he felt himself every inch a king,
and made a big fight, and even when landed exhibited pro-
digious strength, breaking away time and again from his
captors. A large number weighing a pound or more were
taken. This size will give the man who holdB the rod a few
minutes of intense pleasure.

SpeakiDg of hooks one would thiDk that a Carlisle hook of
spring steel in a trout's digestive apparatus would give him
some trouble, but it seems otherwise. The writer has
several times found them in this situation. A trout of mod-
erate size, if nnskillfully handled when he is hooked, will
often free himself, especially if there are rocks, roots or logs
in the stream. The hook does not remain long in the month
but passes along to the stomach, where it is soon digested or
corroded, becoming a little rusty and harmless affair. The
gut snell outlasts the hook, but that is also soon gotten out
of the way. A torn mouth, however, for want of surgical
skill among the fish leaves a lasting deformity. Old fisher-
men often examine the stomachs of their captures to see
what they are feeding on. As many as thirty different things
are BometimeB found, red ants, willow oaterpillars, grasshop-
pers, lady bugs, millers and larvae of various kindB of water
bugs being common. Sometimes a bee or wasp will be found
entombed, but the most astonishing thing was mashed pota-
toes. I do not think he had been stopping at a first class
hotel. This fellow had probably taken lunch with some
mince pie party.

It is a little curious that the angleworm so commonly used
for bait, is Beldom found in their stomachs. Your corres-
pondent once found in a trout's stomach a multitude of little
hollow horn-shaped shells. An examination of the rocks of
the brook near showed a great number of them, the hollow
containing a bright green worm, which undoubtedly was a
greedy morsel to the trout, else he would not have swallowed
so many of the indigestible hard clay coverings. A green
bodied fly in that region proved a great killer.

If any of our readers have murderous designs on the trout
of this part of the world, wa wonld advise them to fix tbe
time of their visit not earlier than the first of May, when the
trout will have recovered from the effects of spawning, and
established themselves in their summer homes, ready to be
interviewed. Then theylwill go their length out of the water
for a tempting fly and will otherwise prove satisfactory.
Furthermore the high water will naturally delay fishing- If
these few disjointed thoughts and recollections prove accept-
able you may hear from me again when fishing can be uon-
scientiouslv indulged in. J. D. M.

PRINCE OF NORFOLK, chc, foaled 1881, by Nor-
folk; 1st dam Marion by Malcolm; 2nd dam Maggie
Mitchell by imp. Yorkshire; third dam Charmer by
imp. Olencoe; 4rhdam Betsy Malone by Stockholder;
5th dam by Potomac; 6th dam by iron. Diomed: 7th
dam by PegasuB, etc. Norfolk, the unbeaten son of
Lexington, is tha sire of Winters, Twilight, Connor,
Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood, Duchess of & orf oik,
Lou Spencer, the Great Emperor of Norfolk, an many
others. Marion's sire, Malcolm, was one of the first
horses to bring Bonnie Scotland into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the most celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who ib a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The blood lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
is fair to assume that tho get of this stallion will show
equally well with those of past generations.

immense mu-cular development and weighs 1.2SU
pounds. He has the utmost symmetry of proportion
and elegance of finish. No competent judge who has
seen this horse has failed to pronounce 1dm a perfect
individual, and bis breeding is certainly fashionable
enough to satisfy the most fastidous. His colts are
large, stylish and" handsome, and lialkan ha* been pro.
nounced by many the most stylish trotter on the turf.

and consider it invaluablw for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo- med by one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recouimendad it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than any blister ever used.

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

ThiB scientific preparation is an absolute
cure for all bony or callous lumps on horses,
and is a more powerful absorbent than "fir-
ing," without creating the slightest blemish.
Alter a few applications the excrescence is so
palpably reduced that even the skeptical
frankly acknowledge that it is by far the most
valuable outward remedy for horses tver in-
vented.
Tho /~i~VTT "V" preparation in the world
ine yjjy j^ ^ that wil1 remove a Bone
Spavin after it has become ossified.

Owner 01 Eole, St. Saviour, FolUt. etc , says;

I have long used it in my Btables, and find it to be all
that Is claimed for it in removing callous and unnatural
bony growths, without leaving the slightest blemiBh.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully,

When a horse is
OVER-RIDDEN,

To
COMFORT HIM.

Take a Piute of Sweet Milk, and pnt three Yolks of Eggs
beaten into it; then make it Luke-warm, and then pnt in
three Penny-worth of Saffron, and one Penny-worth of Sallet-
oyle, which is Two or Three Spoonfulls, and give it the
Horse, in a Horn: You may give him near a Quart of Milk.
This is an Excellent Drink.

Honey is the most Excellent Thing in the World, both for
the Lungs, a Cold, and to Open all Obstructions, putting one
good Spoonful into his Diet, and so to Continue this Medi-
cine for a pretty time. I have Known it Recover a very
Pursey Horse.

Horses of Great Exercise, or that are Over-Heated, and
have great Fire in their Bodies, must be Lett Blood often;
nay, Twice or Thrice within a few Dayes, one after
another; and still Lett Blood, until you see Good Blood
comes: To let such a Horse Blood in the Mouth, and
then Rubb his Month with Salt, and let him Eat his Blood, is
an Excellent thing. But you mnet Purge him Well, that his
Grease may come away; for, Horses of Great ExerciBe would
eUe be alwayes Foundered in the Body, and then they will
never Thrive until that Melted Grease be brought Away.

The Best Pnrge, is one Ounce and a half of Aloes Sieatrina,
Lapt up in Butter, and made into two Pills, and so give it
your Horse after he hath Rested awhile, then give him this
Following and Refreshing Drink, which is the best Julip in
the World:

Take Mel Rosatum, or Honey of Roses, Conserves of Dam-
ask Roses. Conserve of Burrage. Sirrup of Violets. Of
each four Ounces.

Burrage Water. Endive Water. Suckory Water. Bugloss
Water. Plantine Water. Of each Half a Dutch Pint, which
is near as much as an English Quart.

Then you are to Use both these Conserves and Waters,
Thus:

Put all the Conserves into a Morter, and Beat them, or
Powud Ihem together, and then Mix them by Little and
Little, with tbe Waters, till they be "well Mixt together; and
then give them all together in a Horn, to the Horse, without
Straining: Do not give it Cold by any means. Hott Sirrup
of LemmonB added to it, is very Good: Give it twice or
1 hrice a Week for a Fortnight at least, and let the Horse Rest
afterwards.

Feed your Horse all the time of this great Heat within him,
with Wheat-Brann amongBt his Oats, and Wash them in a
little Beer, if he likes it. This Brann is the Best thing in
the World to get-Out his Belly, and to Moisten him, because
it Dries up all Superfluous Humours which Heat him: In
his Water, when you Water him, put also Wheat-Brann into
it, and let him Eat of that Brann also. This is most Excel-
lent; and will not only Cool him, and Moisten him, but also
Loosen his Skin, if he be Apt to be Hide-Bound, which all
Heat doth.

Lettises are very good to Cool him; Suckory Roots, or
Endive Roots, are all one. To Boy! Suckory Roots in his
Water is very Good, and Purslane, to give it him now and
then to Eat, is also very Good: To Sprinkle his Hay with
Water, and to give him Radishes to make him Piss, will Cool
him. And let them have no Violent Exercise, until he be
Recovered, but gentle Walking.

TO
COOL and REFRESH a HORSE.
Give him Carrots with his Oals, or upon his Watering-bit t;
Apples is Excellent, and so Muskmellons, or the Skins of
•■hem: To wash his Oats in small Beer, is also very Excel-
lent.

A Receipt of the Cooling-Julip, or Diet-Drink, that Doctor
Davison doth give in Feavers.
Take Barley Water two PintB: Of Sirrup of Violets two
Ounces: Of Sirrup of LemmonB one Ounce: Mix them
together, and use this Water to Qnench their ThirBt.

A Julip for Feavers to Bind the Body, if it
be Loose.

Take one Ounce of Ivory, and one Ounce of Harts-Horn;
Raspe them, and put them in three Paris-Pints of Water, and
let them Boyl together, until the Half be Consumed; then
strain it through a Cloth: And put to this Liquor, four
Ounces of the best Juce of Barberies, and one Ounce and a
half of Sirrup of Pomgranels. This is to be Used to Cool.

These are Excellent for Feavers in Horses as "well as Men:
only you must give a Third, or a Fourth Part more to Horses,
since they have Stronger Bodies; else the Disease is all one,
and the Remedy is all one: And this Method will Cure both
Man and Horse; and all other Waves are Pernicious to them
Both, which 1b either Physick that Purges, or Hott-Cordials;
only when he is Cured, then a Purge, as I said btfore, to take
away the Dreggs that Remain; and no more.

A Cooling-Portion which is most Excellent.

Take a Quart of Whey, and four or five Ounces of Sirrup of
Violets, and four or five Ounces of CaeBia, and a little Manna;
and this will both Cool, and Purge Gently, and is a most
Excellent Remedy for Horses of Great ExerciBe.

To take the very same at the other End, will do much
Good to Cool the Bowels; and iB a very rare, and soveraign
Cooling Glister,

All these Cooling things are most Excellent for HorBes of
Great Exercise, which are Over-Heated, and Surfeited with
Riding, so you give them First the Purge of Aloes, to bring
Away their Grease.

Here Ends the First Part.

THE

SECOND PART.

Of Riding, and Dresbing Horses upon the

GROUND.

There is no Man can Make or Dress a Horse Perfectly,

that doth not exactly Understand all the Natural Paces, and

Actions of a Horses Leggs, in every one of them; and all the

Actions of his Leggp, made by Art.

It is a General Rule, That Art must never be against
Nature; but most follow Nature, and set her in order.

Of The

NATURAL PACES.

First. Of a Horse upon his Walk. The Action of his

Leggs in that Motion, Ib, Two Leggs in the Ayre, and Two

Leggs upon the Ground, at the same Time moved CrosB,

Fore-Legg and Hinder-Legg Cross, which is the True Motion
of a Slow Trott.

Secondly. In a Trott. The Action of his Leggs, is, Two
Leggs in the Ayre, and Two Leggs upon the Ground, at the
same time moved Cross; Fore and Hinder Legg Cross; whioh
is the Motion of his Leggs a Swifter Walk: For, in a Walk,
and a Trott, the motion of the Horse's Leggs are all One,
which his Leggs makes Cross, Two in the Ayre Cross, and
Two upon the Ground Cross, at the same time; Fore-Legg
and Hinder-Legg Cross; and every Remove Changes hiBLeggB
Cross; as those that were upon the Ground Cross, are now
pnll'd up in the Ayre Cross. And this is the Just Motion of
a Horse's Legga in a Trott.

Thirdly. For an Amble, he Removes both Mb Legg3 of a
Side: As for example; Take the Farr-Side, he removes his
Fore-Legg, and his Hinder-Legg, of the same Side at one
time, whilst the other Two Leggs of the Near-Side stand still;
and when those Leggs are upon the Ground which he first
Removed, at the same Time they are upon the Ground the
other Side; which is, The Near-Side removes Fore-Legg and
Hinder-Legg on that Side, and the other Leggs of the Farr-
SiHe stand still.

Thus an Amble Removes both hia Leggs of a Side, and
every Remove Changes Sides; Two of a Side in the Ayre, and
Two upon the Ground at the same time. And this is a Per-
fect Amble.

Fourthly. A Gallop is another Motion: For, in a Gallop
he may Lead with which Fore-Legg you Please; but then the
Hinder-Legg of the same Side must Follow it, I mean when
he Gallops Straight Forwards; and then this is a perfect
Gallop.

But to Understand what is Meant by his Fore-Legg Lead-
ing, and his Hinder-Legg on the same side Following; that
Fore-Legg is thus. As for Example: If the Farr-Fore-Legg
Lead, by that Fore-Legg Leading, is meant, That Fore-Legg
must be Before the other Fore-Legg alwayes. and tbe Hinder-
Legg to follow it on the same Side; which Hinder-Legg must
alwayes be Before the other Hinder-Legg: And this iB a
True Gallop.

But now to Shew you, that the Motion of a Gallop is thus:
The Horse Liffts Both hU Fore-Leggs up at a Time, in that
Action that I told you, which is one Legg before the other;
and as Mb Fore-Leggs are Falling, I say before they Touch
the Ground, his Hinder-Leggs in that Posture I formerly
told you, Follow his Fore-Leggs, being once All in the Ayre
at one Time; for as his Fore-Leggs are Falling, his Hinder-
Leggs Moves at the same Time, and then he is All in the
Ayre: For, How is it Possible else, that as a Horse is Run-
ning, he should spring Forward twice his Length, were not
the Motion of a Gallop a Leap froward ?

And this Description is most True both in the Motion and
Posture of a Horse's Leggs, when he Gallops: In the Soft
and Slow Gallop it is hardly Perceived, though it be True;
but in Running, where the Motion is more Violent, it is
easily Perceived: for there it is Plain; you shall see all his
Four Feet in the Ayre at one time, {Running being but a
Swift Gallop); lor the Motion and Posture of his Leggs are all
one. But you must Remember, that Galloping upon Ciroles,
the Horse alwayes ought to. Lead with his Two Leggs, with-
in the Turn; Fore-Legg, and Hinder-Legg within the Turn.
And this is a Trne Gallop.

Fifthly. When a HorBe Runns, the Motion he makes, and
tbe Action of his Leggs, are all One with a Gallop; only a
Swifter Motion, which you may call a Swift Gallop; and a
Gallop a Slow Running: And this is the Truth of the Motion
of Running.

Now I must Tell you of that which every body Speaks of,
and no body TellB what it is: For, they say, a Horse may
Gallop with tbe wrong Legg Before, which is Impossible.
For, if the Hinder-Legg of the same side Follower, it is a
Right Gallop; so that rather it is tbe wrong Legg Behind.
But that which they call the wrong Legg Before, is Thus a
True Gallop, if that Legg which Leads Before, is Follow'd by
the Hindsr-Lepg of the same Side; and as tbe Horse Falls
with his two Fore-Leggs, his Hinder-Leggs Follow them,
before his Fore-Leggs touch the Ground; so that at that very
time all the Horse's Four Leggs are in the Ayre, and it is a
Leap forward. That which they call the Wrong Legg Before,
is this. When the horse is upon tbe Motion, in the Swiftness
of a Gallop, he Changes his Leggs Cross; which is the Action
of a Trott, two Leggs in the Ayre, and two upon the Ground;
and that is so Contrary to a Gallop, and is such a Cross
Motion, as makes the Horse ready to Fall, and this is one
Way of that which they call, The Wrong Legg Before.

Another Way is this, That when the Horse is upon the
Action of a Gallop, as I told you before, in the Swiftness of
a Gallop, where he should keep alwayes Two Legga of
Forward, he Changes 8idee every time, Fore-Legg ■
der-Legg of a Side; aud Changing Sides every i

The Greatest of Great Brood Mares Not In
" The Table."

Wallace's Year Book contains a table of great brood mares,
which to breeders is practically the most valuable and in-
stractive portion of this noble work.

It seems somewhat singular, however, that in making hiB
conditions of admittance thereto, so deep a student of the
science of breeding as Mr. Wallace undoubtedly is, should
have drawn the line so as to have shut out in probably many
other instances than the odo I shall write, what he himself
frequently cites as the most potent proof of an inbred and
inherent trotting instinct, vig.: the ability not only to pro-
duce speed in the second generation, but the power to trans-
mit that speed through the second into the third and later
generations,

A great sire, for instance, when crossed upon an ordinary
mare, may produce great speed in the offspring; but if this
offspring fails to breed on, it iB pretty good evidence, almost
any breeder will admit, that the cold blood in the dam has
neutralized that which should rightfully be the attribute of
the offspring in as great or a greater degree than it was in
either sire or dam, and most certainly than it was in the
dam.

Under Mr. Wallace's conditions there are admitted to this
table, (1) AH mares that have two or more performers with
records of 2:30 or better; (2) All mares that have produced
one such performer, and another son or daughter that has
sired or produced a 2:30 performer.

A mere, therefore, who produces two 2:30 performers is
entitled to rank as a great brood mare, lohether these perform-
era or their sisters and brothers prove their ability to breed on,
or whether they absolutely fail so to do. On the other hand,
had Sentinel for instance, failed to make a record of 2:29£,
his great dam Lady Patriot, dam also of GoldBmith'b Volun-
teer, of Green's Hambletoniau, and of Marksman, would
have found no place in this table.

Green Mountain Maid to the cover of Messenger Duroc,
has produced six performers in the 2:30 and better; to the
embraoe of Kysdyk's Hambletouian she has producad Elec-
tioneer, who has no record, but ib the sire of thirty-nine per-
formers in 2:30 and better. If all these sons and daughters
were placed under the hammer to-morrow, does any breeder
doubt that Electioneer, old as he is, would bring more than
all the rest of them put together? If I be right in my pre-
sumption that he would, then it must be because he has so
signally proved himself able to impress speed proclivities on
his sons, and will in all probability be as uniformly success-
ful in transmitting his speed-producing powers to them also;
hence bis greater value is not based on his own speed, but
upon the proof that he can transmit speed.

A careful search through the great broodmare' table in the
latest edition of the Year Book shows that it contains the
names of 337 mares; of these 89 have each produced one pro-
ducing sire: 25 have each two producing sires; six have
each three producing Bires; whilst two have succeeded in
placing to their respective credits four producing sires, and
none has exceeded this number.

Old Dolly by Mambrino Chief has to the cover of such
noted sires as Geo. Wilkes, Dictator and Alexander's Abdallah,
and to that of the less noted Bald Chief, produced Ouward,
Direotor, Thorndale and John F. Payne, who have sired 22
performers in 2:30 or better. Lady Patriot by Young Patriot
bred thrice to Eysdyk's Hambletonian and once to Thorndale
(the son of Old Dolly) produced Goldsmith's Volunteer-
Green's Hambletoniau, Sentinel and Marksman, the sires Of
thirty-six performers in 2:30 or better. The sires of these
producing ones would have and did earn renown regardless
of the progeny that came from their oopulation with these
two great broodmares; they, therefore, are entitled to full
one-half of the credit that has inbred to these great mares
through the speed producing powers of the latter's sons.

Iu the instance that I propose to place before my readers
however, there are no 6uch favoring or favorable circum-
stances. I find but one solitary 2:30 performer credited to
the sire that was coupled with this great unhonored brood-
mare, and onlj one instance in which he figures as the sire
' of a prodooing dam, which will later on be again referred to.
Is it not fair then, under these circumstances, if the fruit
of this 'one shot' sire and this unnamed dam have any merit
to claim that she is entitled to the most, if .not all of it? es-
pecially when a second copulation produces similar results
and a third and fourth repetition of the mating promise to fol-
low in the wake of those that preceded them.?

1 doubt, indeed, if a more conspicuous illustration can be
found of the value of a great dam and the potency of her
transmissive powers than iB instanced in the progeny of Lady
Benton by Gray's Hambletonian, when coupled with Jim
Scot 83(5, son of Rich's Hambletoniau, what Bhe might have
done and proved if bred to these renowned stallions that
covered Old Dolly and Lady Patriot, we can only surmise.

As here before stated, Jim Scott never got but one 2:30
performer, (Ed White 2:27) and aside from the four full
brothers oat of Lady Benton, he has Bired no sons that have
proved producers to date. He is the Bire of the dam of Daisy
Queen 2:30, who was got by his son Sir Walter Scott (he out
of Lady Benton).

Major Benton, "anotherson of Jim Scott and Lady Benton "
nired Gov. Benton 2:24{ and the latter's dam was by Gen.
Benton, a "third sire of the same sire and dam."

Jefferson Priuce, the fourth son of this oft mated conple
has sired four performerB with records from 2:19,j to 2.-30,
and c .e of his sour, Boxer, record 2:33 J, has during the

season just passed, placed a performer to his credit in Emma
W., 2:29i.

The most noted, probably because the most favorably
located son of this great dam, is Gen. Benton 1755, record
2:34*. who died last year at Palo Alto in his twentieth
year. He figures as the sire of the first four-year-oid to beat
2:1S; Sallie Benton, 2:l7f, and 'of Bonnie, 2:25, and Spry,
2:28£, at a like age. His tbree-year-old representatives in
the Hst are Lord Byron, 2:29, and The Seer, 2:29. Aside
from these he sired five aged trotters with records of 2:29 and
better, and from Prussian Maid (pacer), 2:19, he produced
the pacer Russian Boy, 2:26 J. In addition to the above,
Gen. Benton has two sons, Bentonian and Little Eastern,
who have respectively bred onto Sonnett, 2:24£, and Blanche,
2:30.

Nobody will deny that even this would prove Gen. Benton
a worthy son of so great a dam; but the brightest feathers he
has placed in the old matron's cap have not as yet beeu men-
tioned. In serving the dam of Rexford, three-year-old rec-
ord, 2:23, he has added to his own and his dam's fame not a
little, and he has simply rendered that fame imperishable
through his daughter Waxana, the dam of that queen of colts,
if not of all trotters, the peerless two-year-old filly Sunol,
2:18.

The record of this great dam then is, that Bhe has four
times been bred to a ske who confessedly has no right to
great pride of ancestry, and but for Lady Benton, could have
had no hope for renown through his posterity. She has to
his cover produced from full brothers, who have transmitted
speed to seventeen performers in 2:30 and better, and she is
already represented in the fourth generation by seven per-
formers in the 2:30 list.

Is not Lady Benton entitled to a( least a place in a table of
the greatest of great brood-mares?

I have frequently wondered where Gen. Benton got his
speed producing qualities, and must acknowledge that even
after tabulating and studying his pedigree it is impossible to
otherwise than feel surprise at his remarkable success in the
stud.

So habitual, indeed, has it become to trace everything
speedy to Rysdyk's Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief, that
it eeems almost absurd at this late day to look for anything
of exceptional merit descended from Messenger other than
through these two great sires.

Gen. Benton does not once trace to either of them, yet his
blood lines, through every channel but one, run not only
once but repeatedly to the sire, grandBire or great grandBire of
oue of the other or of both (as the oase may be), whilst both
sire and dam trace through their respective dams' sires to
imp. Diomed.

His sire, Jim Scott, as has already been shown, produced
one 2:30 performer in Ed White, 2:27, and the dam of Daisy
Qneen, 2:30.

Jim Scott's sire, Stubtail, sired three mares that became
the dams of six 2:30 performers.

Lady Benton's great grandsire, on his sires Bide, A minis'
Hambletonian, sired Princess, 2:30 (dam of Happy Medium,
41 in 2:30), and the dam of Joker, 2:22J. He also sired
Hough's Hambletonian, sire of Spotted Colt, 2:25£.

Old Abdallah's produce, of course, every breeder knows.
I do not lind another sire or dam of speed in the whole
pedigree, and must confess to considerable hesitation whence
to place Gen. Benton's Bpeed inheritance, but am inclined
to give the bulk of the credit to Lady Benton's sire, Gray's
Hambletonian, he being the Bon of a half brother of Princess
2:30, dam of Happy Medium, and out of a half sister of the
same mare's sire. It is a slender thread upon which to hang
a conclusion, but blood will tell, and the blood that was
iostrumental in producing so great a campaigner and so cele-
brated a producing dam us Princess, 2:30, might confidently
be expected to crop out elsewhere, especially when brought
in contact with and fortified by that of so near a descendant
of Bush Messenger, which, as Wallace's Register tells us, waB
a very fast trotter in his day, and was one of the finest of all
the sires of Messenger. Folio.

Gombault's Caustic Balsam.

We have heard so many favorable comments about this
well known remedy from breeders on thiB Coast that the
temptation cannot be resisted to reprint the following from
Dunton's Spirit.

The king of veterinary remedies is Gombault's Caustic
Balsam. Had it no other testimonial than a single oue we
could name, even that would be'enough to commend it to all
who would aBk questions about it. But its best recommenda-
tion is the .skillful and intellectual practitioners in the veter-
inary profession. But apart from them, its own intrinsic
merit has wedged its way into the golden opinions of the
highest class of horsemen aB well. It is, therefore, our
pleasant task to speak of Caustic Balsam in the very highest
praise. It is not in our power to increase its true value, of
course, but it may be our office to so call attention to it that
some may possibly hear who had never before heard of or
tried Gombault's Caustic Balsam. It is not our custom to
speak of any article of commerce without good cause for
doing so; and while Gombault's CauBtic Balsam needs no
word from us, yet the world iB all the time being peopled
and it would be strange, indeed, if some should not be born
in 1888 who would in due time learn, through us or some
other medium, Gombault's Balsam was tbe best of all oounter
irritants. Qnacka are numerous and men are right iu giving
them a "wide berth," and he who takes our advioe will not
have anything to do with them. But whi n the beat practi-
tioners in the world rise up, and with one voice declare in
faver of a remedy which hoB compelled recognilion by its
own merit, men cannot afford to give it the go-by.

At last Mr. D. D. Withers has named the Faverdale colt, |
but the name is not a happy one, Silvertail being in no way .
distinctive of either Bire or dam.

Tips For The Trotters.

cas «i Feet Cured) by ilie Sew Mei liocl - fviu y Patcheirs
.si«'idy Reeovery— Opinions of a Slioewrlslit ami
Others.

Among the problems which have engaged the attention of
horsemen the world over ia how best to protect the equine
foot, and at the same time interfere in the least possible way
with the natural condition of that valuable member. In
America, where the harness horse hao been brought nearer
to perfection in gait and speed than anywhere else, the sub-
ject of shoeing has been oarefully studied, and, as a result,
many of the difficulties arising from old-time methods have
been successfully overcome. From the heavy draught horse
to the fast roadster or racing trotter, there has been a general
improvement in the fashioning and appliance of foot gear, so
that to-day there is a vast differenoe between the crude mass
of iron used by the Arabs and Moors in the middle ages, and
the neatly turned pieces of steel or iron now forged by the
expert horseshoers of the United States,

Since races came in vogue the care of the animal's foot has
been more closely studied than when the horse was simply a
beast of burden, and the famous drivers of the last quarter of
a century have aohieved much of their success by giving
special attention to shoeing the flyers they trained and drove.
The late Dan Mace, whose preeminence as areinsman earned
him the soubriquet of the Wizard of the Sulky, was one of
the first professional drivers to make a close study of this
subject, aud his quick perception enabled him to see where
many of the evils resulting from old methods of making and'
nailing on the shoe could be remedied. He was the first
prominent driver to apply toe weights, whose use has done
much to correct imperfections in the gait of the trotter and
enabled Maud S. to attain to the unparalleled speed of a mile
in 2:08£. Other famous whips, such as Hickok of California,
Doble of Chicago, Murphy of New York, Goldsmith of Orange
County, and John Splan of everywhere, have followed in
Male's footstepB, and included sho.ing in the curriculum of
their professional course.

But with all the improvement, the vice-like character of
the orthodox shoe remains, and many a promising trotter has
broken down when on the threshold of a brilliant career by
reason of his inability to wear the iron band which has been
considered indispensable to his education and devolopment.
Even those who have not given the subject any considera-
tion can see at a glance that the immovable piece of metal on
the horse's foot .hinders the natural growth of the outer shell
or wall which covers and protects the delicate mechanism
that enables the animal to attain his flight of speed. This
cramping of the wall or crust brings about numerous dis-
eases, the most prevalent of which is that known as contrac-
tion. In its natural state the horse's loot is nearly round,
and slightly wider than it is long. Shoeing has the effect of
chaoging -this natural shape by elongating the hoof and by
keeping the heel from spreading, caasing the contraction
above referred to, the bete noir of every horseman and the
chief enemy of every horse that has worn shoes.

Other common ailments from the same cause are corns,
produced by the pressure on the heel, and quarter cracks,
which result from the bursting or splitting of the wall of the
foot owing to the unusual thinness of the horn, which being
bound by the shoe is not strong enough to withstand the
pressuie from within. It is claimed by many practical horse-
men that a radical remedy has been found for these and
kindred diseases that come from the stereotyped method of
shoeing. This is the use of what are known as tips, which
are no'hing more than shoes without heels. Tips in a crude
form have been in use for a long time, and were probably
employed as a protection to horses that were turned out to
graze, and designed to prevent the front of the hoof from
creaking off in the pasture. The wild horse is constantly on
the move, and the noof is thus worn down proportionate to
its growth, but the domesticated animal is less active, and
even unbroken colts require to be looked after to see that the
feet do not grow too long. Close observers found that when
a horse had become so crippled from shoeing that he could
no longer be driven, the quickest remedy was to remove tue
shoes, tack on a light plate or tip, and give the animal a rest.
Nature soon worked a cure when there was no iron band to
cramp the contracted heel, and the horse was restored to
usefulness. Farther experiment showed thatthese tips could
be utilized for every-day wear when the horse was in har-
ness, and with good results. Gradually the use of tips
has been tested and investigated, until to-day there are many
horsemen who have discarded the old-time shoe entirely, and
use nothing but tips.

For racing purposes the tip has also been tested, and with
results claimed to be satisfactory. Joseph Cairn Simpson,
editor of the San Francisco Breeder and Sporstsman, is the
acknowledged pioneer in adapting tips to the trotting race-
horse. Mr. Simpson is a veteran breeder and trainer of trot-
ters, and in oommon with his fellow turfmen UBed the regu-
lation shoe covering the foot to the heel. Some years ago
his attention was attracted to trie use of tips, and he began
to experiment with them on his own horses, both runners
and trotters. The result of his investigations, extending over
a period of about fifteen years, is told in a book published
by Mr. Simpson, entitled "Tips and Toe Weights." The
most notable instances of Mr. Simpson's success with tips are
the turf performances of the two stallions Anteeo and Ante-
volo, bred by him from Electioneer, out of Ms mare Colum-
bine, by A. W. Richmond, dam Columbia, by the famons
thoroughbred racer Bonnie Scotland. Both Anteeo and Ante-
volo were shod with tips as colts, and their entire develop-
ment and training were conducted with no other protection
for their feet. In 1885 Mr. Simpson's efforts were crowned
with two fast performances by the horses, when Anteeo,

then six years old, trotted a mile in 2 :16.}, and Antevolo made
a record of 2:194 in his four-year-old form.

Odo of the most valuable results of Mr. Simpson's investi-
gation was the improvement made by him in the application
of the tip. At first it was placed on the foot, like the shoe,
and tapered or feathered to a point to keep the hoof as level
as possible. In this form the healthy growih of the frog and
natural shape of the foot were retained, but it was almost
impossible to balance the horse properly, and there was an
undue strain on the tendons. Mr. Simpson tells how he got
over this drawback to his pet hobby as follows: (,I make the
tip of nearly a uniform thickness, a majority of them having
a quarter of an incb of metal, which waB filled square. A
shoulder was cut in the wall, and so much of the sole as the
width of the web required, aod all back of the shoulder was
left full, and rounded with a tile to protect the edge."

Since the first adoption of this method of letting In the tip
till it is level with the uncovered part of the foot there has
been another improvement, namely, the cutting of the ends
to a point, or diagonally, as shown in the illustration offjtbe
tip worn by Antevolo when he made this record. The ord-
inal tip is in the possession of Mr. E. T. Bedford of the
Thomas & Bedford Company, Pearl street. Mr. Bedford is
an enthusiastic lover of the trotting horse, and has given a
great deal of attention to the subject of shoeing. After an
experience extending over several years with various kinds
of shoes, he hEs become a convert to the use of tips, and
uses nothing else.

"In the spring of 1886," said Mr. Bedford to a reporter of
the Sun recently, "I purchased the chestnut mare Kitty
Patchen by Jeb Stuart. She had won several races, aud iD
1884 made a record at Boston of 2:21}. In 1885 the mare
was campaigned again, but with no success, owing to the
bad condition of her feet. Her trainer, A. J. Feek of * Syra-
cuse, said Bhe had bruised her heel, and ehe was then shod
with the ordinary shoe, with a pad and sponge between the
shoe and foo\

"When I purchased Kitty Patchen," continued Mr. Bed-
ford, "her feet were in a terrible condition. What with the
fever produced by contraction and the result of constant
soaking, her hoofB were bo brittle that they could be broken
with the finger and thumb, and the mare suffered with corns,
and Htood with her feet forward in an unnatural position.
At firet I had h«r shod with bar Bboes, which relieved the
corns temporarily by removing the pressure. As the hoof
grew out the trouble returned, and I resolved to try what
the use of tips would do. I followed Mr. Simpson's instruc-
tions, and Kitty found inBtanfc relief; the corns disappeared,
the hoof resumed its natural consistency, and inBtead of a
cripple, I snon had a trotter free from lameness. To-day
the mare has as good feet as any hor^e in my stable, and I
believe she can go faster than when she was on the turf.
Late last fall, on election day, in fact, I drove her a half mile
to wagon in 1:11 J, and a mile to a road cart in 2:24£. With
a light driver, but over regulation weight, she trotted a mile
to sulky in 2:2lf, whioh is within half a second of her best
race record, and that with no preparation. These Irials
were all done in tips, and at Norwalk, Conn., 1886, Kitty
trotted publicly in 2:261, winning a five-heat race, and again
in 1887 took part in a long race on the same track, and was
second to the winner, Hugh McLaughlin, after getting two

'•Wherein do you think tips are chiefly to be preferred to
shoes?" was asked.

"Because they give a horse the use of the whole foot, "
replied Mr. Bedford, "sole, frog and horn, thus enabling the
natural elasticity to be fully exerted. I believe they tend to
make a horse trot more squarely and keep the gait natural.
I know that in Kitty Patchen's case bootB were discarded
after she was shod with tips, and her gait improved visibly."
'■Would you do away entirely with the regulation Bhoe?
"Most BBsuredly. My own experience convinces me that
for trotters and roadsters tips are the thing. I drive my
horses over all kinds of roads, and their feet keep in perfect
condition. I have observed, also, that many draught horses
in New York and Brooklyn wear tips, and they are noticeable
for the good condition of their feet. If you will examine the
horses used by the Havemeyer Sugar Refinery, for instance,
you will ses that they do their heavy work in tips."

Mr. Bedford mentioned other instances of road horses that
had found relief from disabled feet by the same method.

Among the smiths of the metropolis that make and nail
shoes on fine road horses and trotters George Staples -is
probably the most famous. Staples is a New Euglander,
who was for many years the foreman of Dan Mace's well-
known Bhop on upper Broadway. Though now in his seven-
ty-fifth year, Staple continues actively at work and has
charge of an establishment on Forty-eighth street, near
Broadway. This veteran knight of the forge has shod some
of the famous trotters living and dead, and looked after
Maud S.'s feet when W. H. Vanderbilt owned her.

When asked his opinion of tips, Mr. Staples said: "They
are a very good thing, but few people know anything about
them. No, I don't shoe many of the trotters that come here
with tips. I know of one or two that use them, Mr. Nicholas
Housmau's gray mare Lizzie Almont being one. Yes, the old
style of shoe causes contracted feet, corns, and other troubles.
I can manage the corns qnite easily, if the horse comes regu-
larly, by cutting away the heel slightly to take off the pres-
sure. For contracted feet I use a spring, invented by Mr.
Mace, to expand the heel, and this helps to keep the foot in
its natural condition. I scarcely think tips will supersede
shoes, for they do not suit all kinds of feet in my opinion."

Mr. Saples then selected a shce that had been used on the
forward foot of a fast trotter, from which the cut used to
illustrate the modern style of shoe was made.

'You will notice," he remarked, "that there has been a
great improvement in making shoes of late years. Instead of
the great load of iron that waB once the regulation style, the
shoe is much lighter and steel is greatly used nowadays.
Then, again, we do not cut the foot down as formerly but the
sole and frog are left in a natural condition. I suppose in
some parts of the country they adhere to old methods yel,
but here in New York we have learned by experience to in-
terfere as little as possible with the natural condition of the
foot."

A horse with contracted feet was waiting to be treated, and
Mr. Staples proceeded to give the reporter a practical illus-
tration of how ho shod to cure the disease. He also exhibited
a toe weight recently invented by him, whioh waB fastened
on a model foot to which was nailed an equally model shoe.
An application has been made for a patent on this improved
toe weight, the chief excellence of which consists in a rubber
buffer between the weight and the hoof, and the plan of
counter sinking the set screw which holds the weights in
place.

An inquiry at some of the large boaididg stables near the

Purtt showed that here and (here tips have b>en used with

satisluotory results, especially where a horse has been made

lame by the full-length shoe. John J. Quinn, 124th street,

I near Seventh avenue, said that he had used tips on trotters

with success, but he did not think they would do for steadv
driving on the rough avenues. "The faet mare Old Maid",
who trotted at Fleetwood in 2:21 J some four years ago, on a
wager to beat 2:22, was shod with tips, "said Mr. Quinn, "and
I think Johnny Murphy has used them on some of the
horses he has trained."

D. B. Herrington manager of the Hudson River Driving
Park und stock farm, owned by Jacob Kuppert, at Pough-
kfiepsie, was in the city recently, and when asked what ho
thought of QBiug tips for racing replied." I have not giveu
them sufficient trial to test their use in a race, but I have
tried them with good results as a cure for corns and quarter
cracks. Some years ago I used those with ends drawn out
or tapered to a point but have not tried those set in the
hoof after the Simpson method."

W. C. Trimble, of Newburgh, is one of the best known of
the old-time trainers in the East, and has had many successful
campaigners through the summer circuit. He, too, has been
experimenting with tips, and has become a strong advocate
of their use. He first used them on a big bay gelding named
Jim Brooker, who had made a record of 2:44| in 1S85, and
had afterward broke down from terrible quarter oracke that
developed whenever he was put in training. The horse was
sent to Mr. Trimble, who substituted tips for the trouble-
some shoes, and the trotter's feet healed up in a wonderfully
Bhort time. The veteran turfite considers tips a valuable
boon to the horse suffering from ailments caused by wearing
shoes.

A notable instance where tips are worn by a modern star
of the trotting turf is that of the grey gelding Jack 2:19], the
Chicago crack that stood at the head of the Grand Circuit
winners for 1SS8. Jack is remarkably pure gaited and could
go barefooted if necessary. Budd Doble used tips of about four
ounces weight on Jack in his races last year, and the horse
kept improving all the time, gradually lowering Mb record
from Cleveland to New York, where he made his fastest
mark in the Fleetwood Stake.

In the book published by Joseph Cairn Simpson he advo-
cates the doing away of the old method of weighting the trot-
ters to balance him by adding to the shoe, and claims that
better results can be obtained by the use of the toe weight in
conjunction with the tip. It ib contended by turfmen that one
ounce of weight on the toe is equivalent to from one and u
half to three ounces on the sole of the foot, thongh some
trotters will not go level or fast with toe weights, and must be
balanced by weight in the shoe or distributed about the foot
in leather weights pockets. Others require the toe weights,
which give the balancing medium in the smallest compass.

As yet the use of tips is naturally looked on with conserva-
tism by many horaemen, and like all other innovations it
cootiues to be subjected to criticism and open opposition.
In the face of the undeniable fact that there has been com-
paratively little advance made iD the general methods of
shoeing and valuable horseB are still ruined by unskilful and
ignorant smiths, any plan that will obviate the present difficul-
tieH that attend the use of the ordinary shoe deserves a full
and impartial trial. The question as to the utility of tips for
raciDg purposes is really a secondary one compared with the
greater benefit that will follow any plan whereby the carriage
and draught horse may be kept freer from the numerous
disabilities of foot and limb which continue to be a serious
drawbaok to their commercial value and term of usefulness.

Death of Susie S.

It is with feelings of sympathy for the owner, that we have
to announce the death of the well known race mare Susie S,
by Marmaduke, cam Pirouette, which occurred at Sacramento,
on Friday morning, March 22nd. It Beems that the horses
were out as usual exercising, and taking the customary gal-
lops, when one of the Australian colts, owned by Senator
Hearst, became fractious, the boy who was riding losing all
control of him, and the horse ran into Susie S, injuring her
so severely that she only lived a few hours. Sammy Cooper
was riding Susie S., Lloyd beiDg on the Hearst colt, and
when the shock occured, Cooper was thrown from the mare
sustaining several injuries, his collar bone being broken and it
is supposed he was hurt internally. Lloyd received a bad
shaking up, but at present writing seems none the worse for
the jar. Mr. A. Y. Stevenson was the owner of Susie S., and
it is said that only a short timn ago, he had been offered
$5,000 for the mare; whether the figure given be correct or
not, the loss is a serious one to Mr. Stevenson, as the mare
was in fine condition and he confidently expected to win
many of the early spring events with her.

We find in numerous exchanges lists of the prices laid
against the Suburban and Brooklyn Handicap entries.
Throughout the West there is a strong disposition to back
Badge for the Suburban, in fact so much so that layers of the
odds have closed their books against the McClellan & Roche
horse. A large sum has been forwarded to this city to place
on Badge, and consequently the odds have been cut down
from 65 to 25. In and around New York Gorgo and Judge
Murray have the call, all the boys around the Hearst Stable
having plaoed small sains on the filly, with additional sums
od Judge Murray as a saving clause. The odds given at

TEHAMA COUNTY.

10,378 27-100 Acres.

Township 25 N, Range 7 W, Mt. Diablo
Meridian.

Tbis township lies on the eaBtern slope of the COAST RANGE of
mountains, and from 13 to 20 miles west from RED BLUFF, the
county seat of TEHAMA COUNTY. The field noteB of the U. S.
Surveyor who laid out this township, says: "This township is well
adapted for grazing, as it affords pasturage for large herds of cattle.
It is well watered by the various tributaries of ELDER CREEK. It is
also very valuable for its timber, which consists of a heavy growth

of yellow and sugar pine, spruce, and cedar." There is a heavy
undergrowth of chaparral, chemical and manzanita." The even
sections are In most Instances government land, so that the patts
most valuable aa adjuncts to tbis range might easily be secured at
government price, namely $2.50 per acre for single quarter sections.

In Section 9, coal was discovered recently by some herders, but
nothing has been done to develop the mine, although samples which
have been tested show the coal to be of excellent quality.

We are assured that a Railroad heading for the Coast, and running
through the COAST RANGE timber belt will be built very near this
ranch. Price for the whole, consisting of 10,378 27-100 acres, will be
535,000.

the action of an Amble, which is Two Legge of a Side in the
Ayre, and Two Leggs of the other Side npon the Gronnd at
the same Time, and Changing Sides every Time This Action
of an Amble, npon the Swiftness of a Gallop, Differs so much
from the Action of a Gallop, as it makes the Horse ready to
Fall: And these two, the Action of a Trott, and the Action
of an Amble, npon the Swiftness of a Gallop, is that which
their IgnoraDce calls, The Wrong Legg Before.

It is True, that though a Horse do Gallop Right, which is
his Hinder-Legg to Follow his Fore-Legg on the same Side;
yet if he be not Accustomed to that Side, he will Gallop
neither so Nimbly, nor so Fast, as with that Side he is Accus-
tomed to Lead withal: For, it is just as a Left-Handed, or a
Right-Handed Man; Custom having a very great Power over
Man and Beast: Else, when the Horse Gallops Forward,
never so little a Gallop, his Hinder-Leggs go beyond the
Print of his Fore-Leggs, and that Legg that he Leads withal.
For Example; If the Inward Fore-Legg Lead, the Inward
Hinder-Leg Follows; so those are PresI, and his Outward
Leggs at Liberty: So that in the Action he makes, his Out-
ward Fore-Legg is set to the Gronnd first, and is at Liberty;
that'a one Time: ADd when his Inward Fore-Legg, which is
Preat, and Leads, makes a Second time; that's Two: And
then his Outward Hinder-Legg, which is at Liberty, is set
Down; that's Three times: And then his Inward Hinder-
Legg, which is Prest, and Leads, is set Down; and that
makes a Fourth time. So that a Gallop Forward is 1, 2, 3,
and 4, which is the just Action and Time of a Gallop forward,
and is a Leap forward. Now upon Circles, his Croup Oat
upon a Gallop, he must alwayes Lead with his Inward Leggs
to the Turn, and strikes Over but sometimes; not so much,
but that the Action of the Gallop is all One; which is 1, 2, 3,
and 4, and a Leap forward.

At San Joee Race Track.

One becomes tired of the monotony of office life, albeit the
many callers at the office of the Breeder and Sportsman
tend to relieve what would otherwise be too much of a same-
ness for any ordinary mortal to stand. Last Friday after-
noon, while trying to wade through the authorities to estab-
lish the pedigree of a brown horse which had been sold to
Sam DanielB, of Chieo, in 1867, a little urchin came in with
a note of which the following is a copy:

"Dear Sir: Can you let me know the name and pedigree
of a bay mare that was brought to this State from Kentucky
in either 1871 or 72." A Constant Subscriber.

The Daniels' horse had well nigh distracted the writer, but
a perusal of the above note set him fairly off his wits, so for
fear some one would call and desire the breeding of the dam
of Vermont Black Hawk or a full pedigree of Shanghai Mary,
it was determined that a visit be paid to the runners at San
Jose, and so relieve the mind, for a few hours at least, of the
ever present subject of pedigrees. There is probably no
short ride in the world that equals for variety of views and
scenery the one that can be taken from the Fourth and Town-
send Streets station to the Garden City. Although a stock
of periodicals had been laid in to pass the time away while
travelling, not one of them was even opened, for as section
after section r?as passed, new and beautiful pictn res were
presented to the eye, forming a grand kaliediscopic effect that
was perfectly enchanting. No wonder that the residents of
Santa Clara County are tilled with pride, they have just rea-
son to be, for a more charming country cannot be found any-
where.

On arriving at our destination, a bus was found in waiting,
to take ns to that home of horsemen, the Lick House, kept
by C H. Corey, the owner of Almont Patchen, 2:15, and
other good ones. Before long we were deep in horse-talk,
which finally culminated in Mr. Corey saying, "Well, all
right, I authorize you to announce that I am willing to go
into a sweepstakes of $500 or $1,000 each, free to the world,
open for either trotters or pacers, and have the race take
place over the track that will give the most added money. I
think I have the fastest pacer on earth, and am not afraid to
have him go in any company." Now here is a chance for
the owners of Adonis, Yolo Maid, Gold Leaf, Johnson, TJ Bet
and all the other faBt ones, to prove which has the fastest and
best of the side wheelers, for it is hardly presumable that
the owners of Stambonl and Patron deBire to enter in such
company.

On Saturday morning, at an early hour, a visit waa paid to
the track to see the thoroughbreds go through their paces,
and catch the time of the quarters, halves and miles.

Mr. C. V. Tapper haB his noted horse Al Farrow looking
well and seemingly anxious for a brush, and for a stable com-
panion to the famous sprinter has Guido by Double Cross,
dam Aurora by Thad Stevens. This is a fine finished colt
and full of promise; his breeding 1b good, and he should
prove a great bread winner for the stable. The experienced
trainer, Cy Mulkey, hhs quite a string of the Babb Stable
nnder his control, and bus them all looking in fine fettle.
Rosa Lewis is a much improved mare, and from her triai
should prove a hard one to beat.

The Kelly and Samuels stable, containing Ed McGinnis,
Welcome, Lucifer and others, are doing good work, Welcome
especially showing up in Sue form. The Elmwood Stable
owned by Mr. Boots, have half a score of useful horses, all
of which aDpear fit to race for a man's life; Nabeau, Nerva
and Installation being especially eood. Mr. Boots' Jr. or
Charley, as he is more familiarly oalled by his intimates, has

worked indefatigably on behalf of the new association, and if
it is not a success, the fault will not lie at his door. J.
Reavey is training a couple of fair appearing ones, one of
them being Vidette, formerly owned byCapt. S. S. Brown, of
Pittsburg. W, L. Appleby, and who does not known Billy,
is looking after a few select ones, the best of the string being
Wild Oats, a fine, shapely colt, by Wildidle, dam Mary
Givens. White Cloud, noted for the surprises he springs on
the public, was never as fit to race as just at present, and
Mr. Appleby is confident that the old pinto will again earn
his oats this year.

During the afternoon a stallion show was given by the
Agricultural Park Association, which was a complete success.
There were fully 500 persons present, most of them there to
select suitable horses for service, and the man who could not
find what he wanted must be fastidious indeed. Paraded up
and down in front of the grand stand was the blood of Nut-
wood, Electioneer, Abbottsford, Sultan, George Wilkes, Mam-
brino Patchen, Hambletonian, Belmont, in fact all the fash-
ionable lines were fully represented, and the draft horse was
not neglected by any means, for there was an abundance of
Clydesdale, Norman and Percheron stock on view. A walk
around the stables revealed several which were not publicly
paraded, three of which are worthy of individual mention.
Mambrino Jr. 1789 A. T. R. is a grand looking dark brown
horse, with black points, standing 15-,; hands in height, was
bred by the noted horseman, Dr. L. Herr, of Lexington, Ky.,
and has the most esteemed lineage, his ancestors figuring in
every firBt class pedigree of the present day. This magnifi-
cent individual was brought to California by J. D. Carr, of
Salinas, but has not had the opportunities afforded hiB illus-
trious relations, or beyond question he would stand in repu-
tation, the peer of any stallion in the State. Mr. Carr lately
sold Mambrino Jr. to Mr. G. P. Bull, of San Jose, an intelli-
gent breeder, who will only have his horse serve highly
approved mares, and as the number is limited to fifteen,
those who deBire theMambriDo blood should make immediate
application. Mambrino Jr. is by Mambrino Patchen, dam
by Mambrino Chief, the family from which has sprung
Jerome Turner, 2:15*, Lady Mack, 2:15£, Guy Wilkes, 2:15j,
Patron, 2:14£, Axtell, two-year-old record, 2:23, Bermuda,
2:22, Rosa Wilkes, 2:18i, and scores of others, all well known
and in the "30" list.

The breeders of Santa Clara are to be congratulated on the
advent into their section of this notable horse, and it is only
a short-sighted policy that will stand in the wav of having
the best bred mares in the State sent to this best bred son of
Mambrino Patchen. A few stalls away is to be seen Mr.
Frank Burke's Electioneer stallion Eros. Comment is hardly
necessary in this case, as Eros has had the benefit of good
mares, and already classes as one of California's first class
sires. The get of this famous young stallion are celebrated
for their finished trotting action, two of his colts last season
having trotted in 2:46£ and 2:47 as two -year-olds, although
less than three months from the bitting harness. One of his
colts can at present beat 2:30, and in all probability more
than one of them will, enter the charmed circle before the
close of 1889.

Down at the other end of the grounds can be found the
great paoing stallion Almont Patchen, whose wonderful races
last year stamped him as one of the beBt in the country. He
is a beautiful seal brown in color, stands over sixteen hands
in height, and ia as handsome a horse as one could wish to
see. Ho is by Juanito, dam Glidey by Gladiator, who was
the sire of such good ones as James H. 2:21, Boss 2:29£, and
Dnmiana 2:26£. Juanito is by Tilton Almont 2:26, who was
the sire also of Daisy S. 2:23^. This shows that Patchen Al-
mont is well bred on both sides, consequently it is no sur-
prise that this hotBe has shown Buch fast time. Daring 18S8
he started in eight races winning six, and was second in the
other two, gaining a record for himself of 2:15. Quite a
number of breeders have taken advantage of his presence at
San Jose and sent mares to his service, but Mr. Corey has
allowed Done but the beBt to be sent to him, having rejected
several whose pedigrees were not just what they might be.

The New Association.

The by-laws, rules and regulations of the National Half-Mile
Track and Agricultural Fair Association are now in the
possession of all the associations and half-mile tracks which
it was possible at this time to reach. All mendacious criti-
oism of them will avail nothing in the future. The very
limited number of associations which have come in contact
with the adverse and ignorant references to the rules, made
in advance of their publication by one journal only, will now
discover the almost absolute falsity of all that was said, and
will make up their minds accordingly. Each copy of the
rules was accompanied by a plain, straightforward, unanswer-
able statement by thj officers and Board of Governors. A
statement the truth of which will be recognized aod vouched
for by the managers of every half-mile track and fair associa-
tion throughout the country. It is the utterance of men
whose words will be received with respect and attention, no
matter what views may be entertained with regard to the
association they represent. They are able and skillful business
men, incapable of being swerved by malevolent purpose. If
the Btitement they make can be answered and the f*cte set
forth sucessfully gainsayed let it be done. No amount of
clatter about attacks on the National Trotting Association-
its value as a controlling force— its swift punishment and
check of unlawful impulse— will have the least weight with
managers of half-mile tracks and fair associations who have
freBh in their minds the moBt atrooious miscarriage of justice

in the reinstatement by the present Board of Review of thr°e
of the most notorious offenders that ever were placed at the
bar to plead. Had these meo, who had their'guilt atoned,
violated civil law as they did turf law, each one would have
been serving a term in the penitentiary. The voluntary
statement under oath of one of these men before the Board of
Review was listened to with amazement by the public, High-
clasB horse journals like the Kentucky Stock Farm, and other
of equally high character, notwithstanding their partiality for
the National Trotting Association, could not refrain from
criticBing the action of the board in these particular instances.
At the last meeting of the National Trotting Congress, J. C.
Sibley, representing a half-mile track and fair association,
made an appeal for the consideration of some method which
would afford greater protection against the evil of 'Tinging,"
which he said, on remote interior half-mile tracks has grown
to appalling dimensions. The majority listened with
apathetic indiffence and no one as much as replied. When
the same gentleman, at the Lancaster convention spoke half
an hour on the 6ame subject, he had an aadience that knew
he uttered the truth with every word, and it appreciated and
applauded his position. With one, or possibly two exceptions,
not a word was spoken at the Lancaster convention inimical
to the interests or value of the National Trotting Association.
The sentiment and expression was simply that it did not
seem disposed, in the revision of its laws, toharken to the de-
mand of the county agricultural associations, and in codify-
ing the rules the main point in view was to have them framed
so that membership in the National Trotting Association
conld be maintained if desired.— [Newark (N. Y.) Sunday

Cranky Horses-

Isaac Murphy in an interview was asked to name the most
unreliable horse he had ever ridden. Said he:

"Jim Douglass was a good representative of this cla=s, and
Miss Ford was hard to down. Jim Douglass would run
kindly, however, whenever he got started, while Miss Ford
was just the reverse, as she would stop right in the middle
of a race when you thought she was a sure winner. Tom
Barlow was another hard horse to ride. Whenever he came
to a turn he would always want to leave the track. But
Miss Ford, I believe, taking it all and all, wsb the worst of
the bad lot. Nothing could induce her to try when she once
concluded to stop, and she was all the more remarkable from
the fact that she would quit when running easy as often as
when fully extended. In fact she has a mind of her own,
and neither puniBhment nor coaxing had any effect upon
her. Perhaps she made as many Christians as any animal on
the turf in recent years, as her in and out running was
enough to make the easy losing bettor forsake the race track
and join the church; or, if it hadn't that effect, it was likely
to send such, or even the best balanced minds, to the asylum.
She broke many a good fellow.

"Of course, like every jockey, my career has been full of
surprises, but when I won the American Derby in 1886, at
Chicago, on Silver Cloud, I can safely say I was never more
surprised in my life. I was running in the ruck on the back-
stretch when the notion just struck me I would Bend him to
the front if that was possible, as neither Mr. Baldwin nor
Mr. McClelland, the frainer, bad any idea he had the ghost
of a chance to win, nor did I think so. As I raised on him
I drew the whip and struck him twice, and before the other
jockeys conld realize it, I was 10 lengths in the lead. They
at once set sail for us, but Silver Cloud was a race-horse, at
least that day, and drawing away at every stride, won one of
the easiest of races by a dozen lengths or more. The book-
makers cleaned up everything on that race, as I honestly
believe there wasn't $25 bet on Silver Cloud, while Ben Ali,
Blue Wing and several of the other starters were heavily
backed."

Combs' Sale of Sliori HOi-iin.

Messrs. Killip & Co., Auctioneers, at 22 Montgomery Street,
San Francisco, kindly send this week a catalogue of the pure-
bred Short-Horn cattle, to be sold at Agricultural Park, Sac-
ramento, on Thursday, April 4th. Mr. Joseph Combs, of
Linneus, Mo., is a breeder of advanced ideas and most ample
means. His cattle are unexceptionable in breeding, and all.
of those now offered are either recorded or sent for record in
Vols. 34 and 35 of the Short-Horn Book of Pedigrees. The
cattle are offered without reserve, and are choice.

only one before appeared is a benefactor, why should not ou«

Trainer James Golden states that Charley Marvin is agiug
fast, owiug to hard work. There are eleven trainers at Palo
Alto, superintended by Marvin, who generally rides aB tnaoy
miles in the sulky every day as any of them, in spite of the
protests of the manager of the Palo Alto establishment. Mr.
Golden learned that the sales of horse stock from Palo Alto
last season aggregated about $200,000. Ex-Gov. Stanford's
stallion Gen. Benton, sire of Sally Benton (2:17J) and other
fast ones, died several months ago.-— Cultivator.

A magnificent picture of the Emperor of Norfolk has been
hung in the bar room of the Baldwin Hotel.

The noted race mare Bessie Jane has been bred to Stra-
chino at Dr. Norwood's farm, near Lexington, Ky.

There is a rumor current iu San J use, that Mr. Frank Bnrke
has been offered $17,000, for his Electioneer stallion Eros.

Messrs. Corbett and Valensen have returned from their
trip East, and a note tells us that Mr. Hose has arrived at
Los Angeles.

J. Cairn Simpson, of Oakland, has purchased from B. C.
Wright, of Hopland, Cal., a bay or brown yearling filly, by a
son of imp. Kelpie, dam Avola by Alhambra.

A yearling filly, purchased by W. H. Wilson, of Cynthiana,
Ky., at the Corbett sale in New York, died in Kentucky, about
a week ago. The filly was by Guy Wilkes, dam by Del Sur,
and cost $1,210.

Bob Camptell, Lucky Baldwin's trainer, reports that
Volante has entirely recovered from his injuries received
EaBt last year, and is as great a race horse as he ever was.
He will race this season undoubtedly.

The eight horses purchased by Mr. Valensin at Lexington.
Ky., last week, have arrived at Pleasanton, all in good con-
dition. An effort will be made to see them during the com-
ing week, and a full description of them will be given.

The race horses in training owned by Maj. B. G. Thomas
will be sold in New York April 3. The string coneists of Ban

On last Saturday night, March 23d, Night Hawk, by imp.
Haddington, lost a colt by imp. Darebiu. It is not known
whether the mare stepped on the colt after the birth or not.
Night Hawk will be bred to St. Savior this year.

Fred Carillo, the jockey informs me that he hsB been en-
gaged by John Mackey to ride for the Haggin Stable, on the
Eastern courses this year. Carillo is looked upon as being a
first class rider, and should make the best of them, fear him
before the season is over.

Dr. T. W. Harris, of Eagene City, Oregon, bought during
the week from B. C. Wright, of Hoplaod, Cal., a brown colt
by Antevolo, dam Lady Del Sur by Del Sur, second dam by
Clark Chief, third dam a thoroughbred mare by Captain
Beard. The price paid was $650.

There was sold on Tuesday afternoon from Palo Alto Stock
Farm, the four-year-old filly Belle Monte by Electioneer, dam
Monte Belle by Mohawk Chief. The mare was bought by
C. W. Kemble of Philadelphia, (he purchase price being
$5,000. While Belle Monte has no record, still she can beat
2:25 with ease.

Mr. J. H. ShnttF, of Parkville, Long Island, has lost his
noted stallion, Pancoapt by Woodford Mambrino, dam
Vicara by Harold. It will be remembered that when Mr.
Sbults' barn was struck by lighten ng a few months ago
Pancoast was severly injared from which he never recovered'

Readers who consult tl • uuvcrusing columns, and all who
are wise do so — can do the Breeeer and Sportsman a
signal service when writing to advertisers, if they will
mention the paper. It is little trouble, and may be of great
benefit. It is but justice both to publishers and to adver-
tisers.

Some of the boys at the San Jose Race Track, had consid-
erable fun last Saturday, chaffing a prominent Sacramento
trainer about one of his horses, that lost his pedigree in
crossing a river. That is almost as bad as the pedigree of a
prominent California horse, which reads, second dam, pedi-
gree lost on account of fire.

Mr. Hankins has just contracted for the services of the
light-weight jockey, George Covington, and his brother,
"Little Major." This makes five jockeys that will be in his
employ this year — McLaughlin and Levy, heavy-weights;
the two Covingtons and Van Buren, light-weights. Van
Buren waB brought up in the service of the DwyerBros.

I had a call a few days ago from the veteran horseman Mr.
Josiah Sessions, of Oakland, who has just as keen an eye as
ever for a good youngstar, and be says that without exception
the finest yearling he has ever beheld is the colt owned by
Albert Marsh, of Dublin, Alemeda County. The colt is by
Antevolo, dam by Ulster Chief.

I bad a very pleasant call a few days ago from Mr. D. J.
Murphy, of Santa Clara Co. He speaks enthusiastically of
the progress made by the new Blood Horse Association, and
predicts a successful spring meeting, Mr. Montgomery, of
San Jose, tells me that if the meeting is a go, financially, the
Directors will give two regular meetings each year.

San Benito Advance says: A match race has been made be-
tween King's "Chas. K." and Clayton's "Fred Grant" for
$500 a side. Tbe race will be best three in five, and will take
place about the middle of September. S. E. Kent is backing
"Chas. K." and Clay's horses has a number of admirers who
are willing to Btake their shekels upon him.

The following law, recently enacted at Sacramento, is impor-
tant to horse and cattle breeders who are endeavoring to
secure improved Btrains of blood: ''Every person who shall,
by auy false or faudulent pretense, obtain from any club,
association, society or company organized for the purpose of
improving the breed of cattle, hordes, sheep, swine, or other
domestic animalB, a certificate of registration of any animal
in tbe herd register, or anv other register of any such olub,
association, society or company, or a transfer of any such
registration, and any person who shall for a legal considera-
tion give a false pedigree of any animal, with intent to mis-
lead, shall be guilt) of a misdemeanor. "

A genius, who doesn't Umu>vo that 13 is such an extremely
unlucky number after all, has figured out a few tnings in
relation to tbe much talked-of Proctor Knott. Thus he
waft foaled on the 13th of the month, his sire Luke Blackburn,
having 13 le'ters io his name. He wes No. 13 on the sale
ca'aloeue, and was bought by Samuel W. Bryant for himself
and George Sc< ggao, each ot whom have 13 letters in their
names. Soelb\ P. Barnes, the jockey who rode him to victory
in both the Joni- r Champion and Futurity Stakes, has 13
letters in his nan e, and in each race he defeated 13 horses.
It will also be fovn 1 that there are 13 letters in both Cham*
pjon. Slakes and Futurity Stakes,

The Fair Ground Association, of Fresno, decided on last
Monday night to announce that they would give a purse of
S20 000 for a twojmile and repeat race over their track, on
next Thanksgiving Day. The entranco fee has been fixed at
ten per cent of the purse, and the horse need not be named
until three days before tbe race. The money will be divided
jn three parts, but what proportion has not been stated.

I have received a dispatch from Budd Doble in which he
tells me that his horses will be taken East, from Los Angeles
early in April. The stable will have room for several more
horses, so if any of our California breeders desire to send
horses East to train in the Doble string, early application
must be made to J. H. Starr, Agricultural Park, Los Angeles.

In an interview Isaac Murphy recalled the long list of
great horses he has ridden, including such celebntieB as Luke
Blackburn, Falsetto, Kintstooe, Checkmate, Fortune, Glen-
more, Vo'ante, Gen. Harding, Leouatus, Modesty, Lizzie
Dwyer. Freeland, etc., but he said of all those great turf
lights Emperor of Norfolk was in his opinion tbe best, and
he was firm in the belief that no better horse has as yet trod-
den the American turf.

Trotting horse breeders, who do not join the projected
association, will meet with little sympathy when they hereafter
growl at the management of the circuit meetings. The pro-
per channel for all requests or complaints will lie through
the association, and there is little doubt but that if the latter
proves a representative body, their recommendation will re-
ceive respectful consideration at the hands of managers of
fairs and race meetings.

The following is the full pedigree of the fine stallion Sim-
mocolon, lately purchased by G. Valensin in Kentucky.
Simmocolon by Simmons, record 2:2S, dam Colon by Strath-
more; second dam Coral by Clark Cbief 89: third dam Cassia,
(dam ot Calliban No. 394, sire of C. A. Clay, 2:18, Cyclone,
-:23£ and Coast, 2:26}) by Casaius M. Clay Jr. 22. Mr.
Valensin has purchased this young stallion to cross on
his Sidney fillies and others that he thinks will nick well
with the blood of Simmocolon.

Foals of 1889.

A carload of horses was shipped last Tuesday by W. H.
Wilson, of Cynthiana, Ky., to G. ValenHin, of Pleasanton,
Cal. They comprised Simmocolon, by Simmonds, da a by
Strathmore; three-year-old mare by Dictator, dam by Mam-
brino Time; three-year-old red Wilkes, dam by Curtis, Ram-
bletonian; two-year-old by Allendorff, dam by Orange Blos-
som; two-year-old Wilkes Boy, dam by Mambrino Time;
seven-year-old Strathmore, dam by Alexander's Abdallah
Second.

The citiVens of Fresno have taken hold of tbe two-miie and
repeat race suggestion with a vim that is bound to insure
success. A few days ago Mr. W. L. As tie started nut to can-
vas for $5,000, and in a very short time secured $1,000 of
the needed amount. The society will guarantee a purse of
$20,000 if the Fresnoites will contribute $5,000. There is
hardly any question now but that the race will be given on
next Thanksgiving day. Since the foregoing was written the
entire amount has been contributed;

W. H. Wilson, Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., has sold to
C. A. Durfee, of Los Angeles, Cal., the following: Black
yearling colt Duke Simmons by Simmons, record 2:28; first
dam Crip by Mambrino Time 1686; second dam Bitt by
Regular, son of Volunteer 55. This colt is a full brother to
Geo. SimmonB 9694. Bay fillv (yearliug) by Kaiser 2200, son
of Geo. Wilkes 2:22; first dam by Comet (son of Bid well's
Almont Jr.); second dam Lady H. by Strader's Hambletonian;
third dam by Halsey's Hambletonian; fourth dam by Seeley's
American Star 14. Bay yearling filly by Kaiser 2200, (sire cf
Geo. Wilkes,) dam Miss Smally by Indianapolis, record 2:21.

In regard to talk about Jockey Garrison riding for his
father-in-law's horses this season, the Sportsman says: "Some
people are flustered over the question as to whether the
Snapper will ride Mr. Belmont's or Mr. McMahon's horses in
the spring handicap. He will ride Mr. Belmont's horses
whenever he can get to the weights, and he will ride for no
other stable in any race in whioh Mr. Belmont has a horse
entered. The master of the maroon and red will pay the
Snapper a larger salary than he ever received before, and he
proposes to get the worth of h'ia money. Garrison himself
declares that he has no interest in the McMahon stable at all.''

At a meeting of the Third District Agricultural Society,
held in Chico last Saturday, the following officers were elected:
Dr. C. C. Mason, President; W. A. Shippee. Vice-President,
and Jo. D. Sproul, Secretary. Directors Mason, Shippee,
Hendricks, Billups, Merrill and Garner were present. The
Chronicle-Recorl says that it was decided to give SI, 000
more in purees this coming season than at any previous one,
and the programme will be far more attractive in various
ways. About $6,000 will be divided into purses. The exact
date of the Fair has not been fixed. The enterprising citi-
zens of Willows have offered the Directors $2,500 to hold
the Fair in that town, but it is not likely that Chico will
allow it to be taken away.

Every breeder in the State owning a stallion and raising
and developing or selling his colts should j 'in the California
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, and attend its initial
meeting on April 3rd, next. The colt stakes given by similar
institutions in the East are confined to the get of stallioni
owned by members of the Association, and it may be decided
to follow a similar course in California, with such exceptions
as shall be necessary to admit of Eastern bred colts being
pitted against tbe California productions. California breeders,
however, who decline to join and assist in keeping up the
organization, have do right to expect that a similar courtesy
shall be extended to the get of their stallions. Tbe best and ]
safest way is for all breeders to stand in and lend a hand to
help themselves.

Last Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Killip & Co. sold at public
auction at tbe Bay District Track, thirteen head of heavy
draft stallious, comprising imported Normans, Clydes and
Shiiee. The following prices were obtained: Trojan 4129
E. S. B. was bought by A. Smith for $1010. Littleport
Squire 4533 went to the bid of W. Dnnphy for $600. Weston
Squire, a dark chestnut stallion was secured by T. A. Hyde,
price $900. A Normon Percheron called Lochiel, was
knocked down to T. H. Meyer for $310, while Tbeon, an
imported French Norman Percheron was purchased by Mr.
Dunphy for $600. The Fame gentleman also bought a fiDe
fuur-year-old stallion of the same breeding for $1,350, there
being sharp bidding for this individual. D. S. Murphy of
San Jose got three Clyde mares, Princess Maud, Burnside
Mary and Heather Bell which cost him $3,450, 'Stirling
Maggie going to O. L. Taylor for $380. Of the Clyde horses

News From Spokane Falls, W. T.

As spring is now upon us the flowers are in bloom and the
festive trotters "snuffs the battle from afar." After the
necessary and beneficial let up, which this latitude compels
in a measure, I thought a few notes, from this greatest of all
northwestern cities, might not be uninteresting to your
readers. One of tbe finest trotting tracks in tbe world is
situated here, and is now being put in first clasB shape for
the present season, everything indicating that it will be an
extremely lively one. There is a superabundant degree of
life and energy displayed by our citizens, money is plenty,
and no people can beat them for love of a good horee, their
favorite weakness being tbe trotter. For the instruction and
information of horsemen in California, who are sure to visit
this place when its great resources are better known, I will
mention the names of a few of our wealthy and prominent
men who love, own, or intend to own fast trotters. Two
members of the real estate firm of A. A. Newbery k Co. are
Mr. Newbery and Lane Gillman, who both own some good
ones; R. Clark, Esq., owns Bishop Hero, who won a long
drawn out race of six or seven heats on the Montana circuit
last year, and got a record of 2:27£. He is by Bishop, 16SS,
dam Lida Kendall, by Hero of Thorndaie, 549, and if the
promise he shows' now is fulfilled, he will be a bard horse to
beat in his class. Mr. Mclver will handle him this season,
in his races. Billy Wilson, one of the solid men of this
place owns Little Frank, but he ia by no means little, as he
stands fully 17 hands in height, and is a trotter beyond ques-
tion, for although his best mark is 2:36, he can move much
faster, and if he does not knock his present record all
hollow, Mr. Wilson will lose lots of money over his
favorite. A young man name Fleming, who has quite
a local reputation among horsemen hereabout, is handling
Little Frank and also a horee called Wooco by Kisber(
who ia reported to be very fast. Mr. Dan Drumheller,
who has been here ever sioce the "woods were burned," a
whole-souled, genial gentlman. has made as much money
here as anybody, and that is saying a good deal,
as we have some very wealthy men in Spokane Falls; well
Mr. Drumheller owns a fine filly by Bedouin, a son of Sul-
tan. She is two years old and moves and looks like a good
one. Her owner is one of the directors of the Fair Associa-
tion here, and takes an active interest in all matters apper-
taining thereto, his excellent judgment, being of great as-
sistance to his co-workers. Mr. Ross, of Ross Park, has a
grand appearing horse, that came from East of the Rockies
somewhere, and although without a record is showing up
very fast for a "dark one, " as he has shown frequent quar-
ters in 33 seconds. L^st year, the gentlemen comprising the
Fair Association, had a beautiful cup made, to be trotted for
by the members, the conditions being that it should be won
three times before becoming the property of the holder. In
the oontest that occured for the cup, Mr. Jau>es Wardner, a
wealthy mine owner, proved the winner, and naturally felt
proud of his victory. It is rumored now tbat whover winB
it this year will have to cut a mark 60 low, that he may be
proud of his record for all time, and as Mr. Wardner natur-
ally feels reluctant to give up tbe beautiful emblem, after
having it in his possession, he may possibly purchase a tirst-
clasB animal, if Bpeed enough to win, can be shown him.
Dr. Powell Reeves has several well bivd youngBtere, all of
whom will be placed in training shortly. This gentleman
shipped a very fine mare by Cuinmodore Belmont, a few days
ago, to Pleasanton, California, to be bred to Sidney. The
doctor will in all probability, start an extensive breeding
farm in this neighborhood before long, aDd from his exper-
ience and judgment should make it a success. I am hand-
ling a few trotters for personal friends, notwithstanding I
am engaged iti other business, but when one has grown
frosty in the work, it is hard to give it up entirely and I must
confess it makes me feel young once more, when I take a
spin behind a good one. L. B. LlNl

Mr. L. J. Rose is reported as saying in New York (

ATHLETICS.

The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland gave an exhibition on
Thursday evening last that was largely attended. Secretary
Geo. B. Fox is working hard to push his Club into prosperity,
and seems to be succeeding admirably.

Olympic Ladies' Nieht.

A most successful evening of gymnastic exercises was
offered to the lady friends of the Olympic Club at the Grand
Opera House on Wednesday evening last, under the guidance
of that splendid financier and marvellously magnetic man,
President William Greer Harrison. The club is fast advanc-
ing to a commanding position both in mere number of mem-
bers and in clnb spirit and energy. .

The entertainment was directiv under management of Vice-
President E P Hammond and Captain Walter A. Scott, and
it is much to the credit of these gentlemen teat the long pro-
gramme was carried through without waits or heaviness. The
juvenile exercises were of most interest, but all of the numbers
were ot high merit.

Olympic Club Announcements.

Editor Breeder axd Sportsman:— It is the intention of
the Board of Directors to hold Grand Boxing and Wrestling
Tournaments for amateurs, every two or three months, in the
Olympic Club.

The next Grand Boxing Tournamentwillbegin on May 6th,
188S. For this event the Board has appropriated the sum of
one thousand dollars, to be expended in prizes.

The First Grand Wrestling Tournament will begin about
July Sth, 1S89. The Board being very desirous of encour-
aging members to take an active interest in boxing and wrest-
ling in addition to giving these tonrnamentB (open to all
amateurs) has authorized the leader to expend monthly the
sum of two hundred dollars in prizes for Boxing and Wrest-
ling Trial Contests, (open to members only.)

These Trial Contests will begin on April 15, 1SS9, with a
"Wrestling Night," and the Board hopes the members will do
all in their power to make these monthly meetings a success.

At the regular meeting of the Board of Directors held
March 14thri8S9, the following resolution was passed:

Resolved, That no member of the Club, without the consent
of the Board of Directors, shall take part in any exhibition,
or entertainment where professional pugilists are engaged.
Any infraction of this rule shall be deemed conduct unbe-
coming a gentleman. W. E Holloway, Secretary.

will accompany'tbe premium list, or may be had at the same
office. Duder the administration of President llamon E.
Wilson, the club is prospering, and indications favor a very
fine show.

The London Shooting Times, quoting the note recently
published by us from Mr. James E. Watson, of this city, about
his pointer Old Black Joe, mixes our Watson np with Mr.
James Watson, of Philadelphia, who judged at the last Pacific
Kennel Club Show. The Shooting Times does not at all fancy
the latter Watson, and at every opportunity hauls him over the
coals, but it really can have no antipathy to the San Francis-
can, and conld not have had him in mind when it made the
editorial remark to which we except, and which is as follows:

"This is a downright 'nailer' Jimmy. Now, with your
proofs. If yon did not know the age of your dog, what
right had you to run him in the San Francisco Derby?
This is what people will ask you to account for."

Mr. H. Boyd, whose drawings of horses have often been
used in this paper, is as fond'of delineating dogs, and has
recently done some very fine work of that sort. A picture of
Mr. Keating's greyhound Pat Molloy, winneT of the O. C. C.
Birthday Stake, is on exhibition at No. 21 Kearny Street, and
should be seen by all members of the Occidental Coursing
Clnb.

Another bit of work by the gifted artist is a souvenir
of the last Pacific Coast Field Trial Club's field trials
at Bakersfield. It is in the form of a little portfolio
of twelve large photographs of the leading dog6 with
a cover on which appear many miniature photographs of
scenes during the trials. The pictures are fnll of spirit and
of great interest to sportsmen, particularly one which shows
Mr. Nick White, of Sacramento, right in the act of reporting
the trials. The symmetrical form ot the reporter is shown at
length. The style of note-book which he uses can be seen,
and the drawn features, moving lips, scratching pencil,
fiercely intent eyes and generally wrapt manner characteris-
tic of that accomplished son of Plumbago, make his counter-
feit presentment so like aB to be startling.

From the San Francisco Turn Verein.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The San Francisco
Turn Verein has decided to send a team of four of its best
men lo compete for prizes in athletics and gymnastics at the
national meeting of the North American Turner Bund, to be
held in Cincinnati, Ohio, next June. The gymnastics will
consist of a series of difficult exercises upon horizontal and
parallel bars, long and side vaulting horse. The athletics
will consist of high broad jumping, pole vaulting, putting
the 37 pound shot, and rope climbing. The extra event
will be a 300 yards run. broad jump, hop step and jump,
high inmp, javelin throwing, wrestling, lifting heavy weights,
Bwiming etc, The competitors most likely to be chosen
are John T. Schuster, Philip Gretsch, Arthur Kelter. and
Clement i. Schuster. The quartette have already com-
menced training, and if they continue to train in the future
as in the past they should make a good showing against their
eastern bretherec. The society will give b grand gyuinaBtie
exhibition for defraying part of the traveling expenses the
latter part of April, upon which occasion the beat amateur
athletes and gymnasts will assist.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, nameB claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colorB, dates and breed.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I would suggest to
the Bench Show Committee of the P. K. C, an "Aged
Clasp," it being a prize tor the best aged dog or bitch of any
recognized breed, age to be ten or more years; age and con-
dition to be considered in judgment. I think that such a
competition has never been opened, and it may induce some
to show well preserved dogs. Fred A. Taft.

Truckee, March 20, '89.

By the steamship Belgic, which sailed for Japan on March
20th two pointer bitches were sent to Japanese purchasers.
They were whelped on October 19tb, 1888, and by Scout
Croxtetb, 6277 A. K. C. S. B., out of Bomp P. 3750 A. K. R
Both were of good size, good lookers, and creditable to their
breeder Senator T. J. Pinder.

The interest in and demand for Chesapeake Bay dogs is
increasing, and it is a pleasant fact to record, for the reason
that through carelessness there was danger of extinction of
the breed. The latest development is the formation of a
Cbespeske breeding kennel by those veterans and experts Dr.
H. H. Smith of Malvern, Iowa, and Mr. Geo. E. Poyneer of
Williamsburg, same Stale. Mr. Poyneer has selected a num-
ber ot the best bitches in the country, and the breeding will
be done in accord with his judgment, while Doctor Smith
will have charge of the kennel which will be located at Mal-
vern, Iowa, where there is ample oppotunity to work and
break the dogs.

The premium liBt of the Second Aonnal Dog'Show under
the auspices oi the Pacific Kennel Clnb, has been issued.
For the present jear the club has decided to add a poultry
and pigeoD annex, both of which will doubtless attract many
visitors. In most of the dog classes the prizes are $10, $5
and diploma. The list of specials is already large and very
ruaoy have been received which could not be published be-
canse they were Bent in so late. Copies may be had on ar-

of any dog bo afflicted, shall be forever disqualified.

Add to Bule XXVIII., on the fifth line, after the word
held, ■ 'the date of the closing of the entries, which shall not
be changed or expended without at least a week's public
notice. Any violation of this rule shall be punishable by a fine
of $100 for first offence, $200 for the second and expulsion
for tAe third; and all prizes awarded to any dogs entered
after the closing shall be withheld;" also strike out the word
"there" before the word officials in the fifth line, and insert
the word "the." A. P. Vredenburgh, Secretary.

From Mr. F. W. Dunn.

The fears of those who organized the Pacific Coast Field
Trial Club, lest success should not attend their efforts, were
in a great measure dispelled when the judee chosen for the
initial trials began his work. Up to that time, nearly un-
known to local sportsmen, he very soon established himself
in their hearts, and more intimate acqu.iinlance only in-
creased their regard for their shrewd but kindly and courte-
ous judge.

When Mr. Dunn was taken sick about three years ago and
waB removed from Nevada to New Orleans, it was thought
tbathis days of activity were numbered in unit? but the
change benefitted him, and in time he regained a portion of
his strength. No tidiogs have come (rom him for several
years until on Monday last, when a breezy and characteristic
epistle was received, dated at Birminebam, Alabama and
the letter-head showing that Mr. Dnnn wap President of the
Birmingham Jockey Club. Our valued friend writes- "You
will no doubt be surprised, and yet I hope glad, to bear from
your old friend. Well. I am still living. Qait railroading.
and as yon will see by this letter-head, got where I belong-
in with the boys. My health js quite good, much better than

when you knew me, but not first class. It is so long since I
have heard from the Bassford's, Pa Benuet, Post, "White, or
any of those dear oldCalifornians, that I don't know whether
this will find any of them kicking — if they are alivp I know
some of them must be. I have done well, and am in a way
to do even better."

Occidental Coursing Club-

At an executive meeting of the club held on Monday even-
ing last, at 21 Kearny St., there were present, President
Gregory and Messrs. J. F. Carroll, H. Boyd, Thomas J. O'-
Keeffe, H. E. Deane, J. E. Watson, H. Wormington and Dr.
Sharkey.

The chief question of the evening was as to what arrange-
ments could be made for future meetings of the club. The
proprietors of Newark Park had shown a disposition to treat
the club rather cavalierly and the cost of holding meetings at
that place was too great.

Mr. O'Keeffe thought that the club was entitled to more
consideration at the hands of the park owners, and he was
convinced that if the clnb paid ©2 or $2.50 per course, and
took the railroad rebate, the burden of expense would be
made slight. Mr. Carroll remarked that if the club would
permit the park owners to sell pools, hareB would be furnished
for nothing, but he did not see how they could permit pool
selling without changing its constitution and by-laws.

President Gregory said that Mr. Shea was anxious to have
the club run its meetings at Newark, but Shea naturally de-
sired to receive the utmost possible sum for he nse of the
grounds, and sometimes permitted his desire to make him
extortionate. After considerable discusBign it was decided
to reje2t all propositions thitherto made and Messrs. Carroll,
Deane and Boyd were appointed a committee to confer with
Mr. Shea and secure the best possible terms for the club
meeting to be held on Decoration Day.

Pacific Kennel Club.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Pacific Keunel
Club was held at 21 Kearny Street last Tuesday night, Presi-
dent B. E. "Wilson in the chair, and Messrs. J. M. Adams,
William Schreirer, Clarence A, Baight, E. H. Williams, Col.
S. O. Gregory, D.r. Thos. Bowhill, James E. Watson, and H.
H. Briggs being present.

After reading and approval of the minutes of the preceding
meeting, Treasurer Watson reported having expended $318.35
since the last meeting, and a balance on hand of $109.07.

Mr. Schreiber suggested that the reports of the Ireasurer
should show more in detail the precise condition of the club
as to possible receipts in the way of does and from other
sources of revenue in order that the Executive Committee
might be better able to calculate with reference to incurring
expenses from time to time.

A letter from a Philadtlphian named H. Andrews was read,
in which he stated his desire to bring 110 dogs from the East
to the May dog show, and requehtiug the influence of the
club to secure special ratesof freight. Mr. Schreiber thought
the offer was not bona ride, aod he thought the club should
offer no special inducements unless Mr. Andrews could
furnish references, and would communicate the names and
breeds of the dogs which be intended to bring. President
Wilson could not see how 110 dogs could be brought in one
car. Dr. Bowhill was sure one car would suffice, and thought
the club might properly permit the entrance of the dogs at
one-half the regular entry fee.

Mr. Haight could not see that the presence of the dogs
would be a very great attraction, and he thought that to
invite such an entry wonld work injustice to local owners on
whom the burdens incident to the show must fall.

On motion of Mr. Schreiber it was ordered that premium
lists be sent to Mr. Andrews, and that he be requesttd to
send full particulars about the dogs and what he desires, but
that no special inducements be offered at the present time.

Mr. J. M. Adams thought it an unwise precedent to estab-
lish to offer any large special Bums to Eastern uwners, and he
preferred to nave all owners placed on the same b&Bis.

Col. Gregory said that aside from the mere matter of win-
ning the prizes, he thought the presence of a draft of fine
dogs from good Eastern kennels would afford Californians a
valuable opportunity to institute comparisons, and to learn
what good dcgB really are. It was ordered that the premium
lists be printed immediately and sent out to dog owners
throughout the Pacific Coast.

THE GUxNT,

The postponed March match of the Blue Bock Club, will
be shot at Adams' Point this afternoon, rain or shine. Mem-
bers will take the 1:15 o'clock boat, narrow gauge to 14th St.,
Oakland, thence by omnibus to the grounds.

The fourth match for the Selby Smelting and .bead Co.'e
Standard Challenge Medal and cash prizes, will be shot at
Adams Point, Lake Merritt, Oakland, on Saturday, April 6,
1889, commencing at 10 a. m., under the auspices of the
Blue Bock Club of San Francisco.

A sportsman of the real old Kentucky sort is pervading the
neighborhood of the Grand Hotel in the person ot Mr. Thos.
Barnes, nominally a traveller in the interest of the "James
Pepper" brand of highly ozonized spirits, but in fact a peri-
patetic story-teller and thoroughly good fellow, whose real
aim seems to be to spin most extraordinary yarns and tell
highly spiced anecdotes of all the noted sportsmen of America,
of whom he seems to know every one.

The Gun Club-

The March meeting was held at Klinknerville, near Golden
Gate Station, Berkeley, on Saturday last. Every thing was
favorable and a successful meeting "resulted. Mr. Jellett had
the only clean scoreand except Mr. J. K. Orr with 10, was the
only man who scored more than nine. Even such reliables
as Mr. Fred Butler, Mr. Will Golcher, Mr. Will Wattles, Mr.
John M. Kilgarif and Mr. Al Huvens failing to get into
double figures.

The new gronnd was voted a good one, except that a mass
of trees and shrubbery made the back ground so dark that it
was difficult to see low flying dark birds.

Sprinerfleld Notes-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Some of the finfst
rifle shooting ever done in this country wifh a military rifle
was done in this ciiy the past week by T. B. "Wilson and L-
T. Farnsworth. Both used the regulation Springfield rifle
and ammunition at 200 yards off hand. Mr. Wilson made
the wonderful score of 91 out of a possible 100 on the Stan-
dard Hinman target. At 500 yards, prone, Mr. L. T. Farns-
worth shot 21 cousecutive shots and made 20 bulls eyes his
eleventh shot be;ug a very close four at S o'clock. Had it
been on the Crcedmoor target instead of the Eliplical, he
would undoubtedly have had a run of 21 bulls eyes. The
individual shots were as follows:

At 200 yards, Springfield military rifle, offhand. Standard American
target.
T. B WiUon 10 9 9 9 10 9 8 10 10 7-91

At 500 yards, prone position, Springfield military rifle.

Five members of the militia of this city ha.ve been selected

Alameda County Club.

A good deal of fine shooting characterized the initial meet-
ing of the Alameda County Sportsman's Club held at Adams'
Point Saturday afternoon last. Doctor Knowles scored 12 in
the main match and 20 out of 22 in the day. Major Kellogg
trailed him closely, getting 11. Mr. Osborne had bad luck
and got bnt 8, a lower figure than usually appears for him.
The President, Mi. W. W. Haskell, won the leather medal
fairly, but those who regard his seven as an indes to his
ability, will reckon without their hoBt.

California Wing Shooting Club.

After a postponement necessitated by the stormy weather,
the club met at San Bruno, on March 24th, for its first trap
shoot of the season, and passed a day in sport of the most en-
joyable sort. The spring weather was of the balmiest and
the green hills and flower-starred meadows, made the day's
outing a rich treat to all senses.

The club went down by the 10:30 train, the earlier one no
longer stopping at San Erano. There was no wind, but the
pigeons were so fresh and good, that they averaged hard bird^.
The attendance was not so great as it should have been when
the attractions offered are considered.

. The California Club numbers many of the best shots in
the State, including the champion Mr. Crittenden Robinson.
Its meetings are invariably conducted with the utmost decerum
and are as enjoyoble for ladies as can be.

San Bruno is by common consent the best pigeon shooting
ground in the State, and in the opinion of Mr. S. A. Tucker,
about as good as any in the country. The old time proprie-
tor, Mr. Dick Cunningham, recently gave up the management
of the resort to Mr. Fred Eisele, and the latter is catering
finely for those who patronized his beautiful place. Thirteen
members entered for laBt week's match, a very favorable
showing. All of them were experts of the first class and it
may be of interest to note the guns and loads selected by
them for that crucial" test of a gun, use at the traps.

Dr. S. E. Ktowles, whose learning in all matters relating
to guns and ammunition is probably greater than,that of any
other local expert, used a 16 bore hammerless Gruner,
weighing nine Donnds, one ounce. His shells were a three-
inch Kvnoch in the right and paper in the left, of the same
length." The loads were 3* drams of Dnpont's Summer
Shooting Powder, No. 3, and 1£ oz. of No. 6, Chilled shot.
Dr. Knowles gives as reasons for the peculiar gun and loads
used, the fact that he gtts more even lesulls and less recoil
than with any other gun and loads. His 16 bore patterns
evenly and is a hard hitter. "When asked why he did not
use Schultze, the answer was, that he had seen and done
good work with it, but that be was so much at home with
black powder that he did not care to learn to shoot over
again in order to become expert with the Schultze. His best
score with the 16 bore is 20 straight birds, Hurlingham style,
28 yards rise.

Mr. Osborne of the club, a comparatively new hand at the
traps, but a steady and very fine shot, uses a Scott hamruei-
less choked, 12 bore, weighings lbs., 4 oz. He shootB 45
grainB of Schultze in each barrel, and 1£ oz. of No. 7 chilled
shot, loads his own shells and tinde no difficulty in getting
fairly on hip birds with the Bcholtze. Mr. Robert Liddle
shoo'ts an S lbs. 12 bore boilt by himself, full choked, and a
very trim weapon. His loads are 3i drams of Hazard Duck-
ing No. 3, witb li oz. of Chilled S's in the right and 7's in
the left. Mr. Li'tdle, some years ago, was a crack at the
traps but years of patient devotion at his bench have dimmed
Mb eyes a little and some of his birde get too far from the
traps before he is on them.

Mr. J. K. Orr, who shot with the club by invitation, had
with him a handsome Holland and Holland, 12, cylinder in
*;he right and modified cylinder in the left. Tbe gun weighed
but 6 lbs., 14 oz and with 45 grains of Schultze in the right,
and 3i drams of Flectric in the left, the ounctB of S's and 7*s
set the gun back .oo sharply for comfort and made the shoot-
er flinch so much as to quite spoil his score, although all of
his birds were cut. Secretary Will De VaulL as trim a shot
as is in the club, used a 9 lbs. 10 oz, 10 bore Parker, with 26
inch barrels 4h drams of the Hazard and 1} oz. of 7's and 6's
loaded by the Selby Company. The gun is foil choked and
is a killer in the hands of its deft owner.

Mr. Ed. Fay, the man of many guns, all of them of
the rarest beanty and excellence, was on hnnd with a Scott
hammerless just nished to his order. The gun is a 12, and
weighs 8 pounds, a beanty to look at and a good to kill.
His loads were 3J drams of Hazard Docking No 4, five wads,
and 1} ounces of chilled 7's. Mr. Fay shot behind his birdB
at first, bnt soon pulled himself together and did brilliant
work, Mr. Orr used the gun a little, scoring eleven straight
with it.

Mr. A. B. Sperry of Stockton, of physique fitting him to
endure any amount of heavy work at the traps, shot an L.
C. Smith hammerless 10 bore of fine finish, and au extra-
ordinary powerful arm. In the right barrel 56 grains of
Schultze and 1| ounces of soft 8's. In the left 4 drams of
Electric and the Bame quantity of soft 7's. Mr. Sperry is
rather too fond of permitting his birds to get to loDg range
and then deliberately cutting them down. His scores would
be improved if he would be quicker with his first barrel.

Port Warden C. B. Smith, shooting a 10 pound, 10 bore
Greener hammer gun, and 4£ drams of F. F. G. powder,
with 1A ounces of 8's and 7's, is a bard man to beat. Cf
herculean frame and a splendid field shot, his is as imper-
turbable at tbe traps as Tucker, and is very precise in his
work.

Mr. Crittenden Robinson, to whom it really seems to make
little difference what gun he uses, in so far as influencing
his scores is concerned, shot his 10 bore Scott hammerless
weighing 9A pounds, with 4 drams of Dnpont No. 2, aud 1}
ounces of S's and 7's soft shot. The gun has recently been
overhauled by tbe Scotts in Birmingham, and is a very
effective arm. It has has won a good many thousand dollars
for its unsurpassable owner.

Mr. C. J. Haas of Stockton, of nervous temperament and
prone to headaches when shooting, used a 7£ pound ham-
merless Sneider 12 bore, with 3£ drams of Electric, and 1J
ounces of S's and 7's. The light gun shakes him np with
such heavy charges, but he usually manages'to get well into
the money, and is beside, when at the trap, a picture of
what a Bhot should be in position and handling his gun.

Mr. Robert Meilly. slight in frame, but all muscle, shot a
7i pound, 12 bore Colt hammerless of very tine finish His
loads were 3 drams of F. F. F. G., and f ouoces of S's and
7's. The great driving power of the loads was many times
shown by clean kills at very long range.

Mr. Lewis used a Parker 12 bore that weighed 8 pounds
14 ounces, and with 4 drams of black power and 1£ ounces
of 7's, his work was sopcrbly good. The loads were rather
heavy, bnt he stood up well, and but for hard luck in losing
three birds out of bounds would have been an eleven man.
Like Mr. Sperry he fancies experimenting at 50 or 60 yards,
and some of his birds were stopped cltan at almost incredi-
ble distances.

There was no delay during tha day, and all of the shooting
was finished in time to return to the city by the 4 o'clock
train.

At 12 birds, Hurlingham, score to count as the first of the season.

"T. P. A." Aeain.

ThoBe who read the unique hunter's letter from "T. P. A,"
which was published a few weeks ago, will be pleased to hear
irom the veteran again. In a letter recently sent to Mr. De
AYolf of this city, "T. P. A." says: "Since writing you I
hurt my hand badly, and although it is better it is somewhat
swollen and painful yet. It will in time recover, so that I
can use it, bnt 1 know one thing, it has lost me the winter's
trapping. That means at least fifty or sixty dollars a month.
I was getting the hang of the business and catching beaver
when I cut my hand. Beaver hides are worth from three to
sis dollars each, so you see that one a day would make me
living wages, beBidesthe fun which ib at least ten dollars per
day more. I will tell you how I happened to find the beaver
nest. I had heard there were beaver up above Callahan's,
and had hunted two days but could not find where they
were. I was then eight miles above Callahan's, near Mr.
Parker's, eaBt of my place. I had given up finding beaver,
and started home across the mountains on foot, witb twelve
beaver trapB on my back, besides my gun and outfit and
some bait, thinking I would set traps for cat and fox, I had
got to the top of the first high range, when, looking ont, up
jumped a wnaling big buck about 400 yards away and went
off like the wind. I bad not time to lay down my pack, but
just turned old 45—60 loose. She travelled a little the swift-
est and caught the buck on the front foot as I found when I
got to where the deer stood when 1 fired. Following along
the track, I saw the buck down the hill and my old hound
Tats °aw him at the Bame time. Didn't he waut to go though?
He made a break to pass me and made a grab at him, catching
him by the collar and sat down and held him. I knew tbe
buck would lie down. Soon he laid down but in a place
where I could not get to him, so I let old Tuts go. He did
not tarry long. I sat still to see the fun. I could Bee the
deer lying down in open ground all the time, and the dog

going so swiftly down the hill toward him, that when he got
to the deer he went clear over him, missed his grab I suppose
and went rolling over and over down the hill. This gave
the deer a chance to get up, which he availed
himself of very qnicklv, but it was no use. Tuts was
there again. Then they had it rough and tumble, first
one and then the other on top for about a quarter
of a mile. All this time I was sitting eujoying the sport
All of this was on a steep side hill. Finally the dog and
deer reached a little flat place, and by mutual consent called
the thing a draw, faced each other, about ten yards apart,
and each held up a flag of trnce They stood eving one
another until I came down within about 60 varda "and was
unhmbenng 45—60 to shoot the deer in the he'ad— when, all
at ooce he whirled and away he went and the dog after him,
but I could not shoot for fear of hitting Tuts. As Tuts
turned to go I saw blood dropping from his sides and knew
that the deer had horsed him. The woonds slowed the dog
so that be could only rnn about as fast as the deer, but could
not bring him to bay until they had run a mile, when the
deer was bayed in a deep poud of water, where the dog kept
him until I came to him. Just as I came near, old Tats
thought he must be up and doing, and jnmued into the pond,
a trick that came near doing him up, because the deer could
stand on the bottom, while the dog had to swim, and tbe
buck Boon got Tuts against the bank and was horning the
life out of him, when I came up and pat my rifle nearly
against the vicious old buck's heao and blazed away. Tuts had
six holes in his sides, several going into the cavity, but as the
deer's head dropped the dog jumped on top of him and shook
him until I pulled them ashore. He was a very large buck and
had the nicest head I have seen, and that is a good many.
This pond of water was a beaver dam, and the beaver house
was within twenty feet of where I pulled the deer out. I
went to Mr. Sweets and got a wagon to haul my deer, then
tramped back to the top of the mountain to where I had
dropped my traps, and finally got all my stuff and the game
home all right. I shall clean out thoae beaver as soon as
my hand gets anything like sound again, and will write you
what lock I have."

Capital Turf Club.

As noted elsewhere, the nominations in the stakes and
entries in the purses of the Capital Turf Club will close
on Monday next, April first. There are many reasons
why there should be a full return to the call for entries,
and that the spring meeting of 1889 be accorded a sup-
port which will ensure it being; the best ever held.

The club, if we are not mistaken, is the oldest racing
a ad trotting association in the State, and has held its
meetings under difficulties which would have discouraged
people who lacked a trifle of the spirit and game of the
Sacramento folk. There is nothing lacking for the com-
fort and "entertaiment of man and horse." Tracks and
adjuncts the best of any in the State, and second to none
in point of necessary equipments to the best of the East_
Easy of access, and centrally situated, the transfer of
horses from any part of the State is easy of accomplish-
ment.

At the time when the meeting is held, May 6th to 10th
inclusive, it is well worth a journey from the far East to
spend a week in Sacramento. That city, always beauti-
ful, is at its best during April and May, and a finer com-
bination of climatic luxuries is difficult to find in any
other country.

Several other points could be made, the chief of which
is that the Capital Turf Club has the knack of securing
the service of the very best men for officer?, and peculi-
arly fortunate in the choice for 1889. To people who
know them, no other recommendation is necessary than
to refer to their names in the programme, and the adver-
tisement will give all the information needed about
classes, conditions, etc.

Colt Stakes— Santa Rosa.

Santa Kosa was doubly unfortunate in regard to the
advertisement of the colt stakes for the fall meeting of
this year. In the first place the date of closing was left
out of the copy, and when that was corrected the num-
ber of insertions were curtailed so as not to include the
most important dates. The man who has charge of the
"business" of the paper has not had experience enough
to know that an essential was ommitted in the instruct-
ions sent, and followed directions literally. As the ad.
was marked "out" in the issue of last week, there has
been time to rectify it, and in order to give as great pub-
licity as possible, it is represented on the "editorial
page." That will show that there are stakes for two
and three-year-old which are free for all, and the usual
number of district races, all of which are made more
pleasant with a liberal amount of "added money."

Santa Rosa is one of the many beautiful towns which
California can show, and is a favorite place for our horse
folks to visit. The track is one of the best, and from
the reports of every one who his visited it, the lessee,
Mr. N. B. Sanborn, is keeping it in capital condition:

No. 1— For Two -Year-Olds— Free for all; $40 entrance, of which $10
must accompany nomination; $10 May 15th, S10 July 1st, and §10 ten
days before the commencement of tb> meeting; $200 added.

No. 2— For Three-Year Olds— Free for all; $80 entrance, of which 820
must accompany nomina ion; $20 May 16th, $20 Jnly 1st, and $20 ten
days before the commencement of the meeting; $300 added.

No. 3— For Yearlings— Comprising the following counties: Sonoma,
Napa, Solano, Marin, Lake, Colusa, Yolo and Mendocino; $40 entrance,
of which $10 must accompany nomination; $10 May 16th, $10 July
1st, and $10 ten days before the commencement of the meeting; $100
added.

No. 4— For Two-Year-0 Ids— District comprising same counties as
race No. 3. $50 entrance, of which $10 muBt accompany nomination;
$10 May 15th, $15 July 1st, and $15 ten days before the commencement
of the meeting; $20uadd. d.

No. 6 — For Three-Year-Olds — District comprising samp counties as
race No. 3. $50 entrance, of which $10 must accompany nomination;
$10 May 15th, $15 July 1st, and $15 ten days before the commence-
ment of the meeting; $300 added.

These races will be bo placed on the programme that those enter-
ing in the District Stakes, may also contest in the free for all.

In all stakes failure to make payments as they become due, forfeits
entry and money paid in. Five to enter, three or more to start.
Money in each stake divided a follows- To winning colt, fiO per cent,
of stake and added money; second colt 30 per cent., and third colt
10 per cent.

Yearling stake, single dash, one mile. .Two-year-olds, mile heats,
two in three. Three-year-old e, three in five, in harness No added
money for a walkover. If only two start they must contest for the
stake* paid in, and divide two-thirds and one-third. Otherwise
American rules to govern.

PartieB entering colts will be notified by mail when payment be-
comes due

Kntriee to close April 1, 1889, with

I. DeTURK, President.

GEO. A, TOPPER, [secretary.

P. O. BOX 65, Santa Rosa.

San Jose-

There is sure to be a gala time in San Jose from to day,
Saturday, March 30th, until the next week comes to a
close. Never before in the turf history of the "GardeD
City" has there been such a list of entries when numbers
are the test, and it is safe to assert that neper before
such an array of talent.

Eighteen races to be decided in four days, Saturday,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and on the off days a
person must be woefully dyspeptic, stomach and brain
both disturbed, who fails to enjoy himself between times.
We UBe the masculine gender, as the ladies who attend
the races have such a keen appreciation of the beautiful,
that were the non-racing days more numerous, weari-
ment or worriuient by them will not be entertained.

Although we havo little personal knowledge of what
thp r^qe-horses fire doing, wonderful acopunts* reach this

office of their performances, and as will be learned from
the history which our associate gives of a trip he made
last Saturday, he feels justified in endorsing Dame Rumor
to quite an extent. His description does away with the
necessity of conjectural remarks on the horses engaged,
and, as is well known, we are not prone to make predic-
tions which are denominated "tips."

The only advice of that kind we feel like offering our
readers is to confine their speculations to amounts which
can be lost without serious detriment to their finances,
and depend more on the blind goddess than the utter-
ances of the smart chaps who are always ready to "pick
a sure winner."

Closing April 6th., San Francisco, Fresno.

While there will be time, after the receipt of our next
number, for people not too far away from San Francisco
to make nominations and entries for the Spring Meet-
ing of the P. C. B. H. A., for the Spring Meeting of
the Fresno Association, as the day of publication is
the date of closing, April 6th, it will not be advisable to
wait until then. As the secretary of the P. C. B. H. A
has his desk in our office, residents of San Francisco and
vicinity can put the business off, but those who depend
upon the mail to carry their communications to either
place should attend to it in time. There is no question
that the meeting of the Blood-Horse, which will be held
on the Bay District Course, April 20th, 23d, 25th and
27th, will receive attention from those who have horses
to engage, and we trust that Fresno will have the same
good fortune. There is little danger if those who are
the most interested will "take hold" and second the
Fresno Association as they should. It is conceded that
the track, and all of the other adjuncts of a race course
are of the best and certainly the public spirit of the
citizens has been exhibited in a way which ensures any
project which can be effected by them will be carried to
a successful termination. There is not the least hazard
in predicting that with the co-operation of owners and
trainers, Fresno will rank high in equine sports, and be
one of the main points in spring and fall circuits.

Disappointed.

As announced in the paper of last week we intended to
start on a trip to the East Saturday. Informed at the
ticket office on Tuesday that Friday would be in time to
obtain tickets, that very essential part of the business
was deferred until that day. Friday morning's paper
brought the intelligence that for the first time since the
"Golden Gate Special" had been running, it would go
out with a full complement of passengers, every berth
saction, and drawing room being engaged. It was that
train or none. Every hour had been counted and to
meet the demand a slower rate would not do. There
were other reasons for choosing the special, the most
weighty, however, being the saving of time. Thursday
at 1:25 p. M., the schedule said, would land us in Phila-
delphia, and as we learned that Mr. Steele's place was
only eight miles from the city, by 3 o'clock we could
greet Antevolo. Much as we would be gratified to meet
Mr. Steele, Mr. Eckstein and others in the city of broth-
erly love, candor compels the admission that the horse
was a prominent feature in the picture which Hope put
on the canvas. By commencing at the further end of
the journey, if it be permitted to call the starting poirt
where nearly half of the journey was accomplished,
there was a better chance of getting back in the allotted
time. Philadelphia, New York, Northern Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Chicage, Iowa, more than seven thousand
miles to travel, and at least a thousand people which it
would be imperative to shake hands with, and return in
a lunar month, necessitated a high rate of speed, when
so many breaks were inevitable, and hence the ordinary
line was voted too slow for the occasion.

Apart from the necessity of making the most of 28
days, or that part of it which is taken up with railway
progression, there is a fascination in going fast. The
only occasion when the speed is greater than we admire
is when accompanying some one who shows a lack of
skill in the truly American art of driving a fast trotter,
and insists on showing his talent as a whip in a way
that is not only dangerous to the occupants of the vehicle
but abusive to the poor animal which is unfortunate
enough to have him holding the reins.

Then, too, being on a traveling hostelry, all the
comforts of a first-class hotel, and a goodly share of the
luxuries of lite enjoyed while "anihilating space," had
been.so vividly portrayed in imagination, that to come
down from the high horse and accept the usual hum-
drum, was altogether too prosaic for our mood.

If we could not go on the route blazed, none other
would answer, and so the journey was postponed, and
in place of taking the risks of March and April discom-
forts which are sure to be encounlored in portions of the
country embraced in the chart of pur trip, Btay iq the,

land of susbine and flowers, and make choice of the
baling month of June, or still later when the Eastern
forests are resplendent in the colors which the grand
artist, King Frost has given. Before the "rolling prai-
ries" in Iowa were marred by buildings, plowed fields
and fences, a June landscape was especially beautiful.
When the Indian summer comes there is a glory in sky
and land in nearly all sections of the East which is well
worth a trip from this side of the continent to see, but
for every day in t le year, those of February, March and
April, particularly the slopes on either side of the bay of
San Francisco, are the most attractive dwelling place.

Off for Trout.

The first day of April may have been ordained for the
enjoyment of others than those who invariably spend it
on some well known stream, but certain it is that to none
but the angler does the day come year after year, so
longed for, and so fraught with high hopes and fond an-
ticipations. Five long months of wintry desuetude suf-
fice to stiffen wrists, dim eyes and bluut the faculties
which must all be exercised in their fullsst and best de-
velopment, if the utmost success is to attend the fisher,
but the blear months cannot deaden the pleasures of
memory nor rob each coming opening day of one item
of its allurements. Tackle grows finer year by year, and
flies multiply apace, with now and then a good one of
recent pattern, so that much time must be devoted to
preparation for the day of days.

Sage deliberation is essential in determining the pre-
cise bit of water to fish;

The party must be judiciously selected, lest a cross-
grained person self deluded into the belief that one of
such a temperament can really be an angler, should by
chance become a nuisance to the company.

Long discussions as to how necessary impediments
may be reduced in bulk and weight fill many hours, and
profitably. But at last this Saturday is at hand when
but twenty-four hours stint the angler from the creek
that has been jabbering away to the Ousels and King-
fishers, and gossiping along down to the sea without
human companionship since October. To all readers
who can truly claim deference to right and the law, and
who have not defiled themselves by unreasonable fish-
ing, we wish the best of weather, keen fish, full baskets
and happy hearts on Monday next.

Closing: of Stakes.

There are a number of stakes, nominating to which
must be made before another number of this paper goes
to press.

On Monday next, April 1st., the Colt Stakes of the
Sonoma County Agricultural Park Association, the San
Jose Colt Stakes for the Fall Meeting of 1889, and the
stakes and purses of the Capital Turf Club, will close.

On Tuesday, April 2d, the Stanford Stakes must be at-
tended to," and next Saturday, Aprii[6th, the Pacific Coast
Blood Horse Association, and the Fresno Fair Association
close both purses and states.

There is little necessity for arguments in relation to
making nominations in Colt Stakes, as the benefits to be
derived are generally acknowledged by breeders of
thoroughbreds and trotters, but there is a requirement
for keeping it before them, although the repetition may
seem tiresome to those who "never forget."

There are always "sleepers," and among this class we
can be catalogued. The stakes at Sacramento and
Stockton which closed on the 15th inst., were.firstin our
remembrance only a few days before, and even on the
14th., we were aware of the near approach of the time.
Our thoughts were so completely absorbed by other affairs
than "horse matters" that it was 11:30 p. m., when it
was realized that was the day, too late to reach telegraph
office, and back to bed with a feeling approaching dis-
gust at such palpable carelessness. After this experience,
we desire to impress on the minds of our readers more
thoroughly than ever, the advantages of not waiting un-
til the last moment, and our advice is to write nomina-
tions and entries when this notification is received on
Saturday, and should it be held politic to avoid the last
moment of closing, the letter cm be left unsealed until
Monday.

While there are few of our California breeders who
do not realize the importance of naming colts in stakes,
the proportion of breeders, owners and trainers which
underrate the importance of spring meetings is altogether
too large. These men will claim that there are not
sufficient inducements to the horses in training in Cali-
fornia, the mo3t serious obstacle being a practical re-
striction to the "Fall Circuit." "Were they to extend
their countenance to early meetings as fully as their in-
terest should prompt them to exhibit, in a short time
there would be gatherings rivalling the autumnal dis-
plays. In lieu of Los Angeles, Fresno, San Jose, the
Blood-Hor$e and the Capital Turf Club occupying the

whole ground there would be a succession of events, with
scarcely interval enough to prepare for the fairs.

The San Jose programme elicited a fair response, and
we sincerely trust that those which are yet to close will
show a like liberal spirit on the part of those who con-
trol the horses. The main fault lies with the trotting
division, and could the harness folk3 be induced to throw
off their apathy and second the efforts of the directors
one-half as enthusiastically as they might, spring racing
and trotting in California will occupy a prominent posi-
tion in the calenders.

Horse Portraiture.

The portrait of Sunol in last week's issne seems to justifv,
if not actually call for, some remarks on horse portraiture.
The general public can have little idea of the difficulties in
the way of those who desirs to reinforce written descriptions
of horses with conscientious description in words must al-
ways fail to convey the idea of form that is conveyed in a
glance at an accurate portrait. On the other hand there is
that which the portrait cannot wholly tell, and which the
letter-press must supply. To turn out a good piece of work
the artist and the writer must be a "matched team." If the
writer has not the natural eye for form, and fails to graBp
and express the salient points in the horse's make-up, and
the artist be a master, or vice versa, the one will give the pen"
picture the He. There are ten men who can adequately de-
scribe the form of a horse to one who can even passably de-
lineate that form. What the reason may be I cannot say,
but certainly horse portraiture is a branch of art that has
been left far behind in the general march of progress. True,
the average drawing of the present is far above the best at-
empts of the olden time in the line of portraying race horses,
but yet the horse portrait of to-day that at all approximates a
fair and faithful delineation is a variety among a legion of
abortions. It is not pleasant to reflect, that while we have
numbers of artistB who can, with true and masterful pencil,
transfer to paper in striking faithfulness and reality, cattle,
dogs, sheep, fowls, and all the lower tribes of animal nature,
the horse, *'the noblest Roman of them all," must submit to
have bis divinely beautiful form persistently libelled in "art."
Even more surprising than that, as a rub, artists are at sea
on the horse, is the fact that the camera, which is supposed
to be as incapable of a lie as was the Father of His Country,
can be so manipulated that the work of the photograph is of-
ten little less atrocious than the masterpieces of the farmer's
boy on the stable walls. Possibly no horse has been as often
photographed as the grand old hero of Palo Alto — Electioneer
— jet not only is there not as far as I am aware, an even fair
portrait of him extant, bet of a dozen or more alleged photo-
graphs seen, there is only one that the writer could recognize
as a picture of Electioneer and that was taken by an amateur.
I recently saw portraits taken by a San Francisco photograper
of national reputation, of Electioneer, Sunol, Manzanita and
Hinda Rose. There were certain marks by which the Elec-
tioneer photo might be distinguished by one very closely ac-
quainted with the horBe, but though there is not a very great
resemblance between the three famous mares, to tell which
of the pictures was meant for Sunol, which for Hinda Rose,
and which for Manzanita was to me a mystery more hope-
lessly impenetrable than that shrouding the name of a man
who assaulted the late William Patterson. It is well to be
uncharitable to the artists, and that is the reason why the
sins of the photographers are mentioned as in a measure pal-
liating those of the "draughtsmen."

I do not wish to take a wholly pessemistic view of the case,
or to declare that "all is vanity" in equine art. No one
admires more warmly, or more readily appreciates the mas-
terly work of Whitney, Schultz and Palmer than the writer.
They each have a distinctive style of their own, and though
each has his mannerism?, to the credit of everyone of them
are horse portraits that are faithful works of art. With all
respect and deference to all other artists, for faithfulness,
fidelity, and striking originality, Frank Whitney must be
awarded the palm. He does not Btick in any groove, but
surpasses himself continually, and his work alone is sufficieut
ground for the belief that equine art will yet reach the
standard required, il indeed his work has not already reached
it. His portraits have not the monotonous sameness that
destroys all faith in the correctness of the many pictures we
see; his horses are boises, his mares are mares, and his foals
are foals. He preserves in each horse he draws the distinct-
ive individuality that marks him from other horses, and gives
him a character of his own. I have had little opportunity
to judge of Mr. Boyd, the California artist's work, but justice
must concedehis portraits considerable merit. Though there
is a similarity in form and posture between his portraits of
different animals (showing that he sometimes loses the indiv
idual in his ideal), and there are, too, occasional anatomical
lapses in his work. The pictures of Sunol and Mambrino
Wilkes are the best of Mr. Boyd's sketches that I have seen.
That of Sunol is very good with two exceptions— the wither
is too high, and the head carried too high. Among photo-
graphers, Schreiber of Philadelphia, easily ranks first.

The common error of the artist is endeavoring to make a
horse appear not what he is, but what (in their minds) he
should have been. They try to improve upon Nature, and
departing from its lines, convict themselves in unnatural
imaginings. They try to improve the style, heighten the
finish, and gloss over the plain features, and in doing it
utterly lose the character that would have made the picture
recognizable. Not to be behind in "improvements" the
photographer "touches up" the negative, puts a lie, figura-
tively speaking, in the camera's mouth, and makes the fin-
ished picture an eye-trap, a delusion and a snare, A fair
knowledge of external anatomy is necessary to the artiBt,
but if the photographer would stick to the lines that fall
throagb the lens, he could not err. Picture the horse just
as he is, and no one could complain. The persistent endeav-
ors of the artists and photographers to improve upon nature,
and substitute ideals and shams for honest portraitures, has
well-nigh destroyed faith in all equine pictures. Let us
have the truth though the heavens fall.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— In "Grim's Gossip" in
a recent issue of your paper, there is a suggestion that is
pregnant of great good to the State. It is there proposed, for
the benefit, of small breeders, that a "combination sale take
place in 18S9, between January 15th and February 15th, (and
let it be annual thereafter), just aboat the time that Eastern
breeders wish to come and thaw out a bit.'*

A home market for this class of breeders is more than a
"boon;" it is necessary, without which they must relinquish
breeding and turn their attention to some other industry.
This would be a misfortune to the large, as well as the email
breeder. There can be no rivalry between the two classes-
no more than between the wholesale and retail merchant.

The large breeder derives his greater profit from the sale of
animals for breeding purposes, for which the small breeder
is his customer. The large breeder can develop a portion cf
his stock to show their quality, which will enable him to
sell the remainder, undevelopad, at prices the small breeder
cannot hope to get for precisely the same blood. He can
also ship Eastfnr a market. The small breeder cannot afford
the outlay to develop, nor can he 6hip East. There are
many lovers of a horse, road riders and business men, who
caDnot afford the prices of the large breeder, but who can
and will pay the prices that will remunerate and satisfy the
breeder who is at no expense to develop his stock, and the
indulgence made possible by these lower prices will exteud
the taste to those who, but for this, would seek some other
amusement, and their example and influence would be lost
to the interest. But there are not yet enough of this class
in California to sustain the breeders already embarked in the
business, and there must be found an outlet for the surplus
or the business must languish.

It is not to be expected that a first sale will be a complete
and satisfying Pnccesp. Such enterprises are not born fall
fledged, but if those to be beneficial take to the plan and send
in good stock in sufficient numbers, and are not discouraged
by low prices at the first sale, it is likely to grow into a per-
manent and reliable market, at paying pric;B for our surplus
trotters, and rescue the industry from its present depressed
condition. The Eastern man can buy eoough cheaper here
to nearly pay the expense of the trip on a single animal, and
after a few annual sales, you may hear in the frozen East
something like this, a i Harry and Tom sit toasting their shins
and drinking their hot scotch, "I say, old boy, lots take a run
out to California," and "thaw out a bit,"get a button hole
bonquet and buy us a roadster."

If the Breeder and SportoMAN", with its usual devotion of
time and talent to the horse interest, will take hold of this
matter, and enlist the co-operation of the enterprising auction
firm of Kilip it Co.. I think there can be gotten together a lot
of young trotters, that in number and quality, will put tha
scheme of a combination sale on a solid ba^is, and prove an
annual winter attraction to Eastern horsemen.

M. W. Hicks.

Editor Breeder and Spokesman:— I am informed by l*r.
C. E. Needham that there is an error in my catalogue, viz.,
the claim that his hcrse Steve Whipple is by Bonner. Mr.
Needham says that his horse was sired by Chrisman's Ham-
bletonian. I have no information on the subject, {the error
having been made by the compiler, in NewYnrk,) but pre-
sume that Mr. Needham is correct, and take this method of
correcting the error, in order that his statement and adver-
tisements may not seem to be contradicted. I remark, in
justice to the compiler, that Bonner and Chrisman's Hamble-
tion are both sons of Whipple's Hambletonian. therefore the
error is one very likely for one to fall into. Iavix Ayres.

Alexander's Record. 9:31 1-4:

DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; stands '.5-3 V hands high; weighs
l .JO j poundB, and Is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of 2:2%%, and when
four years old, in his first race, he obtained a record
uf-ii'^ii. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been drive a last half in 1:0 .
Alexander Bnttm Is a natural trotter, inherited
through the speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to his offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 19 heat3, never
leaving her feet— canying the world'B record of 2:14.
Rosie Mc, as a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks; haB
a record of 2:20%. R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2:16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 16 to 2:20. Considering
that Al-xander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare — his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
strviee, be is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

Lou Spencer.tbe Great Emperor of Norfolk, an many
others, fll arion's sire, Malcolm- was one of the first
horseB to bring Bonnie scotl.n ' into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the most celebrated race mares of their day, Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who .s a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The blood lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single croBS that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
is fair to assume that th« get of this stallion will show
equally well with thOBe of past generations.

Gentlemen:— We have used Ossidine for the past two years

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

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

I permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med by one of

the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have

recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has

more merit than any blister ever used.

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

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

From mv experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully.

OF

A TROT.

A Trott is the Foundation of a Gallop: The Reason is, A
Trott being Cross, and a Gallop both Leggs of a Side; When
yon Trott him Fast, beyond the Power of a Trott, it forces
him when his Inward Fore-Legg is Up, to set Down his Out-
ward Hinder-Legg so suddenly, as to make his Inward Hin-
der-Legg to Follow his Inward Fore-Legg, which is a True
Gallop. And thns a Trott is the Foundation of a Gallop.

A Gallop is the Foundation of Terra a Terra, for the Actions
of the Horses Leggs are all one; Leading with the Fore-Legg
within the Turn; and Following that Legg with his Hinder-
Legg within the Turn; only yon Stay him a little more on
the Hand in Terra a Terra, that he may go in Time.

An Amble, being a Snaffling Action, I would have Banish'fc
the Mannage; for the Horse Removes both his Leggs of a
Side, and Changes sides every Remove; which is so Contrary
to the Mannage, as can be: But if yon make him to Gallop,
whereas upon a Trott, you Trott him Fast to take bis Gallop,
yon must upon the Amble Stay him upon the Hand to take
bis Gallop.

A True

DESCRIPTION

Of all the

NATURAL & ARTIFICIAL MOTIONS.

A Horse can Make.

First, for Terra a Terra, the Horse alwayes Leads with the

L' ggs within the Turn, like a Gallop; his two Fore-Leggs up,

and as they are Falling, his two Hinder-Leggs Follow: and at

that time, all his Four Leggs are in the Ay re; so that it is a

Leap forward; the same upon Demy- Vaults; for it is all but

the Action of Terra a Terra. Now when the Horse's Croup

is In, whether upon a little Gallop, or Terra a Terra, here his

Hinder-Leggs are alwayes Short of his Fore-Leggs, because

his Croup is In; but if it be Le petit Gallop, his Action is still

1, 2, 3, & 4; because it is a Gallop. But in Terra a Terra,
the Action is but two a 1 & 2 pa: ta: like a Corvet, but only
prest Forward: A Corvet is a Leap Upward, and Higher;
and Terra a Terra a Leap Forward, and Lower; and his
Inward Leggs that Lead more before his Outward Leggs,
being another Action than a Corvet.

Secondly, Corvets, a Demy-Ayre, a Groupado, a Balatado,
or a Capriol, are all but a Leap Upward; for all his Foar
Leggs are in the Ayre, as his Fore-parts are Falling. And
there are no more ARTIFICIAL MOTIONS than These two;
Terra a Terra and theae Ayres last-mentioned.

The Ordering of the
CAVEZONE MY WAT,

And the
Operation and Use of it.

Take one of the Reins, which must be Long, and a little
Ring at one End, and put the other End into that Ring, ana
so put it about the Pommel, and then put the rest Down by
the Fore-Bolster of the Saddle under your Thigh; and the
rest of the Rein put through the Ring on the same Side of
the Cavezone, and so bring it Back again, either to be in your
Hand, or Tie it to the Pommel Straight; and do the Bame
with the other Rein in All things, as I told you with This.

The Cavezore is to Stay, to Raise, and to make the Horse
Leight: to Teach him to Turn, to Stop, to Firm his Neck, to
Assure and Adjust his Head, and his Croup, without Offend-
ing his Mouth, or the place of the Curb; and also to Supple
and Help his Shoulders, and his Leggs and Feet Before.

Therefore I would Use it to all Horses whatsoever; for
they will go much better with the Bitt alone, having their
Mouth preserved, and made so Sensible, as they will be
Attentive to all the Motions of the Hand: So that there is
nothing for the Exercise of the Mannage like it, with a Canon
A la Pignatel, the Branches A la Conestable, and the Cave-
zone together: But then the Cavezone must be My Way, as
I Told you; and that doth to Supple them, and is so Right,
as it makes all Horses whatsoever, if you Work them upon
their Trott, Gallop. Stopping, and Going Back, with Passeger,
and Raising them as you Ought, and according to the Rules
of Art: For this makes them Subject to the Sense of Feel-
ing, which is the Sence we ought to Work onr to Feel the
Hand, and to Feel the Heelp, which is All; and not to the
Sense of the Sight, which is the Rontin of the Pillars, or the
Sense of Noise, which is the Routin of Hearing, but only the
Sense of Feeling, and only of those two Places, which is the
Month and the Sides. Seeing is all the Art when they Teach
Horses Tricks, and Gambajs, like Bankes's Horse; and
though the Ignorant Admire them, yet those Persons shall
never Teach a Horse to Go Well in the Mannage. There
are many Things in the Sense of Feeling, which are to be
Done with so great Art, Witt, and Judgement, and require so
great Experience of the several Dispositions of Horses, that
it is not every Man's Case to be an Horse-man, as it is to
make a Dogg or a Horse Dance: But I am Contented to let
the Ignorant Talk, and Think what they will, for I am not
Concerned with their Folly.

The Cavezon's inward Rein tyed short to the Pommel My
Way, is Excellent to give a Horse an Apuy, and Settle him
upon the Hand, and make him Firm, and his Head Steady:
So it is Excellent for a Horse that is too Hard on the Hand;
for the Cavezon's Rein being alwayes within the Turn tyed
very Straight to the Pommel, keeps him from Resting "too
much on the Bitt, which makes him Leight, and Firm on the
Hand. The Inward Cavezone's Rein tied short to the Pom-
mel, is Excellent also to Supple a Horse's Shoulders, which
is the Best thing that can be; for it gives Apuy where there is
none, and where there is too much Apuy, it takes it away,
and Supples his Shoulders extreamly, which is an Excellent
thing; it also makes a Horse Gallop very Right, with his
Leggs, as also his Leggs very Right for Terra a Terra; for it
Lengthens his Leggs within the Turn, and Shortens his Leggs
without the Turn, which is Right as it should be. So it is
Good for Working his Shoulders in all Kindes, and his Croup
last, Legg and Rein of a Side, as also to Work Legg and Rein
Contrary, in all Rinds of several Lessons. And this is the
Rarety of Tying the inward Cavezone's Rein short to the
Pommel.

The Cavezone (My Way) works Powerfully upon the Nose,
and bo hath the greater Pall to give the Horse the greater
Ply and Beat, being the part the Farthest off from your
Hand. And this Ply, or Bent, is from his Nose to his
Withers, which is to Bend his Neck, and Works too on the
Shoulders, this is to Bent into the Turn; it Pulls his Head
down too, and makes him Look into the Turn; his Head
being pulled Down when he is Prest, puts him more upon
the Hanches. This is done with the Inward Rein of the
CivezoDe pulled Hard, and Straight, and so tied to the Pom-
mel, which keeps it at a Stay, and is Stronger than ones

hand, and hath the same Operation as I told you Before; but
when it is Tied to the Pommel, it still keeps the right Bent of
the Horse, and then I Work upon the Bitt, either with the
Reins Separated with Both my Hands, or else in my Left
Hand only when he is thus Bent: When I would Passeger
him, his Croup in, Large or Narrow, then I Help with the
Outward Rein of the Bridle; because it is upon the Action of
a Trott, and that is Cross; and therefore must have his Leggs
Free without the Tarn, to Lap over his Inward LeggB; and
when he is thus Tied with the Inward Cavezone's Rein, if I
would have him to go Le petit Gallop, his Croup In, or Terra
a Terra, then I Help with the Inward Rein of the Bridle, my
Hand on the Outside of his Neck, and my Knuckles towards
his Neck, to put him on the Outside of the Turn: but Le
petit Gallop sometimes on the Inside, because it is a Gallop,
as the Outward Rein puts him on the Inside of the Turn; all
this is with his Croup in. It to Trott or Gallop D'use piste.
Large or Narrow Circles, the Inward Cavezone's Rein still
Tyed to the Pommel, then I Help with the Inward Rein, and
inwaid Legg, or Outward Rein to Narrow him Before: If
the Piroite, with the outward Rein; if Demy-Voltoes upon
Passadoes, the Outward Reio; For all Leaps, the Outward
Rein; for Corvets and Demy-Ayres, the Outward Rein; for
Corvets Backward, the outward Rein; for Corvets Forward,
the outward Rein; for Terra a Terra, in his Length, the
inward Rein; And so Passadoes, the inward Rein. So, Stop-
ping, and Going Back, the inward Rein. All these with the
Inward Rein of the Cavezone Tyed straight to the Pommel,
which is the Best thing in the World, and then Help with
the several Reins of the Bridle, as Occasion offers you, and
as I have Told you for all these several things. So that the
Inward Cavezon's Rein Tyed to the Pommel, or else in your
Hand, is, For All things whatsoever; Croup, In or Oat;
Trott, Gallop, Passager; all Ayres, Stopping, Going Back,
Passadoes; or anything in the World that is in the Mannage:
For without it no Horse can be Perfectly Drest, in any Kind,
to have the Ply of his Neck, and to Sopple his Shoulders, to
Look into the Turn, to have his Leggs go Right, as they
Ought to do in all Actions; his Body rightly Bent, to be pert
of the Circle he goes in, and Bent that Way. So it is All in
All for every Thing, every Ayre, and every Action the Horse
can make.

The Cavezone being upon the Nose, preserves the Horse's
Mouth, and Barrs, and place of the Curb; and it is so Effec-
tual, as it will Dress a Horse without the Bitt, which the
Bitt shall never Do without the Cavezone; for the Barrs and
the Curb are too Tender: Besides, the Reins of the Bitt can
never give him the Ply, nor Bend him Enough, nor Supple
his Shoulders, because it is so Near you, and Works upon
the Barrs and the Curb; which cannot Bend him possibly so,
as that upon his Nose, because the Branches of the Bitt are
so Slow, and the Barrs and the Curb so Low, that there is
not Room enough to Pull as with a Cavezone, that is so much
Higher; and hath so much Room to Pall, and pulls and Plyeu
him, all from his Nose to his Shoulders, when the other can
do little more than Pull his Musle, and his Head, and goes
no further: The Cavezone's Rein within is for every Thing,
the Bitt otherwise.

To Supple his Shoulders, you must Help with the Outward
Rem, and to Stay his Outward Shoulder with the Inward
Rein; which hath not near the Force the Cavezone's Rein
hath for every Thing: Therefore Use it in All things, and
with all Horses, Colts, Half-Diest Horses, Ready Horses,
Young, Middle-Age, Old, and every Horse, and all Horses;
for there is no Dressing Horses without it, and with it yon
will Dress all Horses whatsoever, and of what Disposition
soever; Weak, Middle-Strength, or Strong, and Reduce all
Vices with it; and when you Use the Bitt, they will go much
the Better, for having been wrought Continually with the
Cavezone.

Observations about the Cavezone, about the Ply, or
Bending the Horse's Shoulders into the Turn.
And in WTiat Place the Cheeks of the Bitt then
Are, or Where they Rest.
When the Inward Rein of the Cavezone is Tyed hard to
the Pommel, and you Pull the Inward Rein of the Bridle, hia
Neck Bends so mnch into the Turn, whether upon Eruge
Circles, his Croup Out, or his Croup In, as then Cheek of the
Bitt, that is next the Torn, is Beyond the Inside of his Neck
or Shoalder, and the Outward Cheek, removed according to
the distance of the Cheeks, which is much more than the
midst of his Neck: and this Ply SuppleB h:-* Neck and Shoul-
ders Extreamly, makes him Look into the Tarn ; Head, Body,
Leggs, and all going most Justly, as they Ought to Do,
whether his Croup In, or Out. And this is the Qnii
of the Mannage; and without this no Horse can
Perfectly, or can Go Justly in eny Kind, either

Broken Wind or Heaves in Horses.

[By Dr. J. P. Klench, Veterinary Surgeon, Santa Roaa.J

Some time last October, there appeared in a public
paper an article, written by Br. Buzard about the causes of
lung diseases indraught horses, which, in my opinion, tends
to give the farmer such erroneous ideas concerning the
nature and the causes of these complaints, that I resolved to
correct his remarks. Dr. Buzard will, I have no doubt, accord
me this privilege, as his printed writing? are public property
and, as such are subject to criticism. As the article is pre-
sumed to be written for the benefit of the Agricultural class,
I will say that the greatest majority of the farmers in Cali-
fornia never owned a broken-winded horse; that, very ex-
cex^tionally, we meet a horse affected with the heaves, and
whenever such is the case, we will find it in the hands of a
Gypsy, a Chinaman, a poor peddler or gardner. Moreover,
all persons who have been dealing in horses for fifteen or
twenty years, firmly denv the existenoe of heaves in this
State.

Dr. Buzard writes, "som? authors consider the affection to
be of the natnre of asthma, and trace it to the derangement of
the stomach, which influences the pneumo-gastric nerve, and
through it the functions of the lungs, to which organs the
nerve distributes some of its branches. Whether this view
is correct or not, there can be no doubt that stomach di-
sease is closely concerned with the difficulty of breathing,
and certain kinds of food are known to have a tendency to
cause broken wind. The injurious effects of turning horses
out to grass (particularly when no grain is allowed them)
most buf-emen are well aware of, a method of treatment
which often causes considerable iDj'ury to respiratory organs."

Some kinds of food have been accused, many years ago, of
producing the heaves, like timothy hay, red clover and other
leguminosae: but I never could find any evident proofs of
the same; in fact, the rumor is as old and false as the one
which credits assafcetida with being a sure preventive
againBt glanders and farcy.

The authors cannot and never will agree upon the influence
of the pneumo-gastric nerve in the causation of the heaves.
This nerve is getting too much credit for its actions on the di-
seases of stomach and lungs; this point might be considered
in a Btrictly theoretic argument; but practical experience will
always pronounce against it. The heaves and broken wind
are an emphysema of the lungs as a sequel to chronic pneu-
monia; both indicate directly a great modification in the
structure or tissue of the lungs entirely independent of any
nervous influence. This nervous action might be admitted
in the asthma which is indicated by different symptoms ex-
ternally. There is only a superficial similarity of symptoms
in heaves and asthma which often causeB one to be mistaken
for the other. It is very true, that asthma can be found in
horses with "advanced heaves," but not necessarily, for a good
many horses have the heaves without the asthma. Heaves
constitute a blemish for life, while asthma can be modified
by therapeutic means.

Who ever heard of horses being injured in the lungs while
in pasture? Dr. Buzard is certainly not much acquainted
with the ways of the California farmers; for all farmers, in
this State, turn their horses out the very day after they have
finished sowing grain in the winter; and on the first of June,
when they take those horses home again to feed them on
grain for work in the harvest, they find that every horse and
mule, old and young, has improved in wind, in legs, in gen-
eral condition, in every part of the body; they all return
from pasture, healthier, better and more valuable animals
than before. No livery keeper ever thought, when sending
his old, stiffened, half crippled horse to pasture, that he
would get a broken winded animal home again. All family
horses, physicians steeds and even the precious nags of the
horse doctors are renovated all over the body by a good run
at grass without having any grain. I knew a man in Iowa,
who boaght in Dubuque several carloads of broken winded
horses for from twenty-five to forty dollars, shipped them to
Western Iowa to break wild prairies, feeding his horses all
the summer on grass; and at the end of the season his land
was broken, his horses had improved in wind and were Bold
to neighbors for $100 each. Whoever heard of a
Texas pony having broken wind? He is the worst used
horse in America; he travels every day many miles without
any grain, eats only grass and many days very little of that.
He might be so poor that he hardly has the power to carry
his man, be he a State ranger, a cowboy, or a Mexican Va-
quero; he has very thin muscles, but very good lungs and a
sound heart.

But Dr. Bazard in explaining how this effect is
produced, says, "that the totttl ohange of food from a highly
concentrated form of nutriment to a sncoulenfc provender,
would cause indigestion and induce irritation of the lining
membrane if fhe stomach, leading to diseases of the lungs
from the continuity of the nerve supply."

I most say that it is just the reverse that would find appli-
cation to his theory; for a horse when coming from pasture,
must be fed grain gradually and carefully; if too richlv
fed of a sudden, he would be subject to indigestion, with all
its various complications, and even skin disorders, hut never,
no never, a disease of the lungs. A succulent provender,
like green grass, is easy to digest, and allays any possible
irritation of the secreting glands of the lining membrane
throughout the whole alimentary tanal whose function has

been overtaxed in digesting grain for a long time. A sooth-
ing juice is lubricating the whole intestinal surface and
brings into the blood a refreshing, cooliDg element; its easy
digestibility, (not indigeBtibility or irritancy) is bo well under-
stood by bvery man and child that they never fail to give a
sick animal a handful of green grass, and the poor creature
will gratefully stretch out his lips to grasp it, while he would
refuse^ a highly concentrated form of nutriment, because it
is irritating and difficult to digest.

What are the possible causeB of irritation of the lining
membrane in the stomach? The introduction of purgativeB,
caustics, freezing or burning agents, or overloading of the
stomach with too rich or indigestible food, might produce a
more or less serious disease of that organ, complicated even
with brain fever or founder. The animal might die but the
lungs will be free from any affection directly connected with
the complaint in the stomach.

I cannot conceive how the influence of the pneumo-gastric
nerve can affect the lungs when the stomach is diseased.
This nerve has a centrifugal action; it carries the sensations
from the brain to the heart, lungs, stomach and even the
bowels. The sensations in the stomaoh are received by the
great sympathic nerve, and only partly by the pneumo-gas-
tric nerve through its mixed fibres, and are transmitted to
the solar plexus, thence to the spinal marrow which reacts
immediately in a reflex manner. Wo can notice that in all
cases of colic without exception. If the pneumo-gastric
nerve were the only conductor of these sensations, it would
at the same time influence the action of the heart, or produce
roaring, or cause obstruction in the bronchial tubes and stag-
nation in the lungB. Practical experience does not mention
a single case of indigestion manifested by scouring or consti-
pation, or meteorization, where the lungs were simultane-
ously injured. It is, therefore, impossible to admit that a
light irritation of the stomach or rather a gastric disorder,
{embarras gastrique) would seriously affect the lungs, when
they are proved to remain uninjured in such cases, where the
stomach disease is of a grave character.

Dr. Buzard again says, "or it may be suggested that the
total change of habit, the sudden cessation of exercise and
the consumption of a watery diet, would be attended with
general debility of the system and relaxation of the muscular
tissues, both of the internal and external parts of the respir-
atory syBtem. A debilitated state of the muscular and elas'ic
tissues of the air tubes would be followed by overdistension,
and the relaxed state would then become permanent."

It is well known to every horseman that horses are soft
when leaving the pasture, but that does not constitute debil-
ity. I have never seen a poor horse in rich pasture unless
he was diseased; green feed does not constitute a watery
diet. But suppose that exercise in a rich green pasture
would cause general debility, we would find different effects
from those given by Dr. Buzard; a watery, debilitating diet
would produce anasarca and dropsy in all itB forms, which
would cause death, while the respiratory organs would be in
perfect order relatively. The irrationality of this theory of
the watery diet causing a disease of the lungs, can beBt be
refuted by practical observation. How could sick animals
live and recuperate after a long debilitating affection, taking
nothing but water, and consuming their own fat? Human
pathology teaches us that man can live on water for four,
five or six weeks, and the lungs remain sound. The great
faster Tanner consumed only water for 44 days, and his
lungs have been very good ever since. These remarks apply
equally to the horse.

Again Dr. Buzard says: "That horses which are employed
in draught work are more exposed to injury from the con-
sumption of coarse and innutritions food, and as a natural
consequence, broken wind is more common among them than
among animals which are more carefully tended in the
stable and supplied with food of the best quality. To get
an idea of the extent to wbich broken wind or heaves is
prevalent among draught horses, it is only necessary to
devote a short time to the examination of a number of work-
ing horses used for agricultural purposes."

The causes of the heaves and the effects of coarse food are
rather badly mixed up in these remarks. If we consider
straw as coarse and innutritions food, the whole argument
loses its value; for on the sandy land in Stanislaus county
many farmers have no hay and feed straw all the time, still
Dot one broken-winded horse is found in the whole county.
We all kuow. that in the Western States the farmers turn out
during the wiDter their horses and mules arouDd a straw
stack, and in all certainty would not do so if that straw
would cause the heaves. There is not one broken-winded
mule on the American continent, although this most abused
of all animals is fed the coarsest food that can be found.
Still the pneumo-gastric nervo has the same influence as in
the horse.

Without pretending that some horses, or some breeds of
horses were more subject to become broken-winded than
others, I will nevertheless state that I generally observed
that deft-ct amongst common lymphatic horses, with broad,
round libs and large bellies, especially when they attained
the age of nine and ten years and over. Snch hordes and old
mares in foal, are liable to get the heaves in the cold winter
countries, when they are kept in the stable for five or six
months, having no exereise and are tied up to a manger always
full of hay, whether clean or dusty.

Old chronic lung diseases must always be suspeoted to
exist in horses affected with broken wind. The heaves can
exist with tut the chronic lung disease, but all chronic lung
diseases have necessarily the symptoms of the heaves, that
is the jump in the flank. They are two different diseases,
although they have this Bymptom in common; for on post
mortem examination the chronic pneumonia shows evident
pathological lesioDs — an organized pulmonary tissue, while
in the heaves we find only a structural defeot — emphysema.
Cases of old pi eumonia can be found only in those countrieB
where the winter is cold and severe, because the inflamma-
tion of the lungs often terminates in hepatization and later
into induration, which causes a broken wind forever. But
here in California I have never found a single case of old
chronic pneumonia or broken wind, for the reason that in
thiB climate pneumonia, if not checked on the start, generally
ends in gangrene. There are, in my opinion, very few
instances where the pneumonia assumes a clear, distinct,
inflammatory character.

CbroDic bronchitis, with hypersecretion of mucus, whether
due to inhaling of dust or a change of temperature, will often
cause short wind and even the regular heaves.

Various tricks are often resorted to in order to hide the
symptoms frum au innocent purchaser, Buoh as bleeding and
the opening of the bowels; then arsenic and nox vomica, coj-
dials and tonic stimulants, tending to improve the action of the
digestive organs. Clear, rich feed in small quantities, and
especially turning the horses into a green pasture. Some give
digitalis for one or two days, knowing well its effect in
diminishing the action of the heart; while others more oun-
ning yet, endeavor to ease the bowels by making a fistula in
the rectum near the anus, "

the disease, will feed the horse on dry hay, and in two or
three days the symptoms of the heaves become very dear.
The treatment of the heaves needs no further mention, as
the tricky ways of the wicked horse traders give full infor-
mation about that subject. Besides no pretension can be
made to effect a core; it is an unsoundness for life, and can
he alleviated for a few days for the benefit of some dishonest
transaction.

A Glenlivet Kace.

An article in anbther column tells about "Whisky Jane,"
and in giving this story of another horse in which whisky
plays a prominent part, it is hoped that our reader will not
suppose we have stepped down and out from our position as
horse journalists, to that of catering for the liquor trade. The
following good story was written by that Prince .of good fel-
lows, Captain T. B. Merry, of Portland, Oregon, and first ap-
peared in the Melbourne Sportsman:

Nobody ever went to Long Branch, Saratoga, or Coney Is-
land, without seeing the eccentric Dr. James Cat'anach, veter-
inary surgeon of New York, whose love for a glass of Gienli-
vet whisky is proverbial. The old doctor is a very canny
Scot and close at a bargain, but those who have paid him
doiniciliaiy visits will agree with me that he is a prince amoDg
hosts. The story I am about to relate concerns a horse tbat
is now coming to the front bb a sire in America. His name
is LelapB, got by Leamington, out of tne imported mare Pussy
by King Tom.

Pardon the disgression if I say that Leamington was, in
my belief, the greatest stallion ever imported into America.
True, he got many of his best races from daughters of Lex-
ington, our greatest native sire, but it must be remembered
that nearly half of Lexington's best racers came from the
daughters of Glencoe, another imported horse that won both
the Two Thousand Guineas and Goodwood Cup in 1834.
Leamington waB not a horse of the type of Plenipotentiary,
Bay Middleton, Plying Dutchman or Ormonde. He belonged
to that mighty breed of weight-carriers represented in the
performances of Rataplan, Isonomy, Barcaldine, Harkaway
and Kettledrum; and it is doubtful if he was not as good as
the best of them. He stood two seasons in Kentucky, where
he begot the long and illustrious roll of conquerors, headed
by Longfellow, Lyttelton, Lynchburg, Hamburg, Rhoda-
manthus, Golden Gate, Lucifer, Blazes and Oitipa. On his
return to the Atlantic shores he got Parole and Iroquois,
winners of the Chester Cup of 1880, and the Derby and St.
Leger of 1831. When it tomes down to a high type of beauty
coupled with an extraordinary turn of speed and ability to
carry weight, I question if any stallion ever conferred such
signal benefits upon his adopted home.

Doctor Cattanaoh had never been to Kentucky, in spito of
all the fascinating stories he had heard from Price M'Grath
and Doctor Underwood about the beautiful women and lovely
farmB in the blue-grass State. But at length he read an
advertisement that eight colts and seven fillies by Leaming'ou
were to be sold at auction as yearlings. He packed his trunk
for Bourbon County, and in due time arrived ut Frank
Harper's. The day of sale came, and with it a furious lot of
buyers, for Parole and SuBqnehanna were winning in every
direction, and the blood of Leamington was considered a very
good thi' g to have in a horse. Everything went at fabulous
prices till at last the auctioneer pulle 1 out a mean-looking
little runt of a colt, black as the ace of spades, and said:
"How much for this black kitten?"

The bidding, which had run into the big thousands on the
other coltB, dropped down very tamely as Lelaps was led for-
ward. It crept up slowly hy tens and fifteens until 5S5 dols.
was reached, and then the autumn air became redolent with
the fumes of Scotch whiBky as a voice called out:
"Sax hundred!"

Everybody looked towards the new bidder, but no one
offered to go above it, and the colt became Cattanach's prop-
erty. He won two small events, but invariably "squeaked"
when he struck good company. At last the Doctor entered
him for the Morrissey Stakes at Saratoga, of $500 each for
Btarters, with $50 forfeit. There were twenty-six nomina-
tions and six starters, among them Aaron Peunington, very
much such a looking horse as Cranbrook; B. F. Carver, the
gamest little grey horse that ever peeped through a bridle;
Shylock, the best of all Lexington's second-class sons, then
in his tenth year; and the hitherto unbeaten Vera Cruz, the
great black gelding from Tennessee. Betting ran in pools as
follows: Vera Cruz 500 dols Pennington 300 dols, Carver 250
dols, Shylock 100 dols, and Lelaps 20 dols.

Just before the start for the race the old Doctor was seen
to approach the colt and turn the neck of a pint bottle into
his throat. The colt went off for his "preliminary" canter,
aud then came back to face the starter. The bookies were
laying 20 to 1 agaiust him as old Chttanach poured another
pint of the "Grampian Dew" down his neck. Feakes vaulted
lightly into the saddle and down went the flag to a start
which left Lelaps at the rear of his»horses. Feakes sat him
like a Centaur, however, and at a mile and a half Carver
had deprived Shylock of the lead.* From here out the battle
was ended so far as Shylock was concerned, but the heroic
struggle up the stretch will never be forgotten by those who
saw Lelaps dash under the wire a neck in front of Carver
with Pennington's nose on the grey horse's sa-idle. The
time was 3:34, and old Miles I' Anson sweai6 it was the great-
est race he ever saw. After the race Lelaps was sold to Capt.
B. G. Thomas, of Lexington, Ky., and has since become a
favorite sire. His daughter, Pearl Jennings, was quite as
good a mare as Miss Woodford, up to a mile.

And now in the hospitable old farrier's mansion in New
York, in the bleak and dreary winter nights, when the ket-
tle sings songs over the anthracite fire, and the old Doctor
whittles the lemon peel into the tumblers, he loves to tell
the story of how the handsomest, and at the same lime the
most cowardly, horse he ever saw was transformed into a
game and heroic conqueror by the brew of Glenlivet. Little
Carver is long since dead, and bTg Aaron Pennington, the
handsomest chestnut that ever wore silk (as M'Grath thought,
althoueh I never agreed with him) is consigned to obscuritv
somewhere in Arkansas.

A visit to the Bay District a day or two ago, revealed two
promising horses being worked out, one of which a trotter
owned by Mr. McGary, of this city, impressed me favorably.
He is called Carbon, by Gov. Stanford, dam Kate Dndley,
He is sis years old, aud worked out a mile nicely iu 2:34
giving Mr. Hughes' Electioneer colt all he could do to keep
with him. 1 also saw a three-year-old colt by Alexander
Button, dam by Ohio Bellfounder pace three heats the first
iu 2:35, the second 2;34jJ and the third in 2:30 even. He is
an exceedingly well gnited oolt, and was accompanied in his
exercise by the pacer Little Hopes. The last half of the last
mile was made in 1:12.

This fellow will bear watching. He

Ground, or in A\res; nor possibly do any thing Rieht upon
the Ciroles, or Voltoes without it.

I Told you this waB, with the Cavezone, the inward Rein
Tyed so short to the Pommel, aB Pulls in his Head and Neck
so much, that it makes the inward Cheek of the Bitt very
much within his Neok, on the Inside of the Turn; because
the Cavezone Works on his Nose, and not on his Barrs, or
Curb, at all; and that's the Reason the Inward Cheek of the
Bitt comes so much beyond hiB Neck on the Inside of the
Turn.

Of The
OPERATION

Of the
CAVEZONE.
The Cavezone is another Business than the Bitt; for the
Bitt WorkB upon tbe Barrs, and. the Curb, and hath two
Cheeks whereunto the Reins are Fastened on both Sides the
Horse's Neck; and the Bitt is in his Mouth, and the Curb is
under his Chin; and the&e Low, especially the Branches:
But the Cavezone is upon his Nose, which is much Higher,
and Works only there, without Mouth or Curb. Well then,
the Cavezone beiug Tyed according to My Fashion, though it
be to the Girths, if you Pull it Cross his Neck, with an
Oblique Line, your Hand on the Outside of the Turn, your
Knuckles towards his Neck, it Pulls his Head Up a little,
imd Works the same Effect, for the Bending his Neck, as the
Bitt doth, but much more; because you have a greater Pull,
tbe Cavezone being upon his Nose; and, being further off
yon than the Bitt, he is Bent the more; because you have
more power to Pull.

Consider, that when the Inward Rein of the Cave-zone is
TveJ to the Pommel, it is the same Oblique Line that tbe
other was, when you had it in your Hand, only a little
Shorter, and hath the same Operation in every Thing, and
pulls up his Head a little; hut now, if you have it in your
Hand, and hold it on the Inside of the Turn, and pull it
Hard, and Low, then you pull Down the Horse's Head, and
he brings in his Outward Shoulder, which is good in Large
Circles, either upon Trotting, or Galloping, or upon Passager,
for the Reasons I Told you before; so that the Cavezone,
and tbe Bitt, Differ so much in their Operative Working, that
when you Pull the Cavezone a little High, it puts Up the
Horse's Head; and when you Pull the Bitt High, and Hard,
it Palls down his Head; and when you hold the Cavezone
Low, and on the Inside of the Turn, and pall it Hard, it
Pulls Down the Horse's Hoad; and if you hold your Hand
Low with the Bridle, it gives his Head Liberty, for the
Reasons aforesaid.

Now you see, that the Cavezone, and the Bitt, Differ in
their Working very much; so great is tbe Difference betwixt
the Nose and the Mouth. It is True, that the Inward
Cavezone's Rein tyed to the Pommel, is so Rare a Thing, and
so Effectual, as you may almost "Work as you List, with the
Bridle; the Cavezone still doing the Business; and when one
comes' to Work with the Bridle alone, one- may easily be
Deceived; except he bath all those Considerations, the Excel-
lency of the Cavezone, thus Tied, may Deceive him, when
he comes to Work with the Bitt alone.

There are Three several Helps with the Inward Cavezone's
Rein in your Hand: The first Help, is, To pall In his Out-
ward Shoulder; the second Help, with it, is, To pull in his
inward Shoulder; and the third Help, with it, is, To Stay his

Shoulders.

To be Continued.

Orrin A. Hickok and Adonis-

The Races afc San Jose.

Orrin Hickok has well been called the Talleyrand of the
trottiog turf, says the Breeder's Gazette. As a manager of
affairs in his particular line it is doubtful if the bright-eyed
little man who dresses so nattily and speaks so quietly ever
had an equal, and when he brings a horse to the post and
has put his money on the animal's chances the people are
sure to see a good performance. Just now Crrin is in the
lists with the pacer Adonis, and. if reports are true he has in
him a world-beater Each season sees Hickok with a good
stable of horses, and among the lot there is pretty certain to
be some one animal Ht to take a shy at the best in the
country. Last season and the year before it was Arab. This
horse although he bad beaten 2:20 before coming into Hickok's
hands, was not very highly thought of by "the talent" on
the Pacific Coast, and the people who owned him had so
little confidence in his ability to improve or make a good
Bhowing in the free to all class through the Eastern Circuit
that they put him up at auction. Hickok had watched Arab
in his races, concluded that he would "do," and as a result
advised a couple of his friends to buy the horse, which they
did, and the public knows how Arab came East two seasons
and' won far more than his cost price, the deal being con-
cluded last winter when he was sold as a road horse to Mr.
John Shepard of Boston for more money than was paid for
him by the Hickok syndicate. With Arab out of his stable,
Hickok was obliged to look around for some sensational
trotter or pacer, and has secured Adonis, that made a record
of 2:14$ last season, beiDg then three years old. "With this
fellow Hickok offers to make a raee for $5000 a side against
anv pacer in the country. Of course the Sire Brothers, who
are always ready to make races on paper, but seldom get any
further in the matter, were ready to reply to the Californian's
deb", Baying that they would pace Gossip Jr. against Adonis
if Hickok would pace the race at Detroit or Cleveland.
Buc Hickok, as above stated, is a diplomat, and in his chal-
lenge he had taken pains to say that if the race was made it
must be paced in California, as he was not coming East this
season and as the Sire Brothers are equally certain that they
are not going West the chances for a contest between AdoniB
and Gossip Jr. are not very bright. It has, been suggested
by some people that inasmuch as Hickok has offered to allow
any competing horse from the East $1,000 for expenses, or
in other words to bet its owner $5, 000 to $4,000, the chal-
lenge might be accented by A. L. Davis of this city, who
owes the pacer Roy Wilkes, about the best sidewheeler on
the turf last season'with the exception of Johnston. People
who know Mr. Davis, however, do not think that he will
go across the American continent for a race with a horse
that is certainly the equal of his own in speed, ub he is as
fond of a good thing as tbe next man and very little inclined
to take chances. At present Roy Wilkes is advertised to
make a season in the stud, bu t of course after that is over he
could be shipped to California and shaped up for a race in
the fall. The fact that none of the California stables are to
come East this season shows that trotting on the Pacific
Coast is on the increase, and with the addition of numerous
tracks in Montana and Oregon quite a number of circuits
can be formed, thus giving the trotters and pacers a chance
to keep busy all the Beason. When the expense of atrip
across the continent ia taken into consideration it will be
seen that unless a man has an absolute winner and the
parses are larger than at present there is no money in mak-
ing the trip.

The opening day of the San Jcse Blood Horse Association
was a deoided success so far as the racing went, the attend-
ance not being np to expectations when the excellence of the
programme was taken into consideration.

Five races with entries which gave indications of the clos-
est of contests all through, and which, as the result proved,
was not a disappointment. The course was in admirable
order, the late improvements having corrected whatever was
faulty, and though, perhaps, a trifle slower than when at its
best in previous years, the difference so Blight that it did
not 6gure prominently in the calculation and was far out-
weighed by the added "safety" due to greater elasticity.

The day was admirable. San Jose can claim, with a due
regard to candor, of a climate which is as nearly perfect as
can be found in aDy section of California, and further praise
would be a superfluity as the old duke of Newcastle puts it.
A clear sunshiny day from t.he time the sun glistened over
the tops of the eastern range of mountains until it sank be-
low those which separate the "Happy Valley" from the grand
Pacific. Scarcely any breeze and the slight haze which en-
veloped the western sky towards the close of the afternoon,
added to the beauty of the scene, curtaining the setting sun
with its diaphonous drapery so tha-fewhile its .brilliancy was
toned there were added charms.

Had the residents of San Jise seconded the efforts of the
managers of the association by "turniDg out" as they do at
fall fairs, the success of San Jose as a spring racing point,
would be fully established. This cannot be expected, how"
ever, so long as the track is degraded by Sunday racing and
other contests of a questionable character, as no matter how
wellmanaged, in other respects, the taint will be there, and the
breach of propriety be a hindrance which cannot be overcom6
without an absolute estoppal of reprehensible practices.

The first rase on the card was a daBh of five furlongs. In
that, nine horses appeared, and though the fame of Geraldine
made her a strong favorite, it was conceded that with all the
glory of her Eastern achievements, were Bhe slightly "off,"
there was almost a certainty of defeat. Whitecloud had sup-
porters, Al Farrow was strongly fancied, and Tom Daly was
thought by a few enthusiasts to hold the second place at hiB
disposal. Bogus, too, waB known to he one of the speedy
division, but the handsome filly was the choice of a majority
of the experts. It is no easy task to start nine "short
horses" on an equality, and that is bo essential in a race of
five furlongs that Donathan, who occupied the position, had
a perplexing job. For nearly an hour there were futile
attempts, Al Farrow being the most troublesome of the lot.
As a rule, he would rush from a rear position in advance of
all the others, after whioh, galloping a couple of hundred
yards, he had a decided antipathy to going back. At last a
fair start was made, the whole field being closely bunched at
the half mile pole, Geialdine aod Whitecloud neck and neck,
and leading the others a few feet. From that point, however,
Geraldine mended her pace, and in the next furlong was a
clear length in the lead, and from that to the finish it was
palpably evident that her chances would not be jeopardized.
But it was a grand straggle among the others. White
Cloud and Al Farrow desperately contending; Tom Daly,
though crowded somewhat between tbe others and the fence,
well up. As Geraldine went across the winning score, White
Cloud was two lengths behind, and when he came to tbe line,
Al Farrow was within a few inches of his nose. Tom Daly
was also close, tbe others not far away. The time of the
five furlongs was 1:02, and it looked as though Geraldine
could have knocked the best part of a second off.

The second race was mainly notable from the good exam-
ple set by Palo Alto. There were two starters from that
stable, Geoffrey and Faustine with Installation and
Glen Ellen for competitors. A little poolselling at the
rate at $25 on Palo Alto to $7 on the others; in the books
Geoffrey the favorite at 4 to 5, Fanstine at 8 to 5, 8 to 1
against Installation and 15 to 1 against Glen Ellen.

The distance was seven-eighths of a mile, which brought
the starting point on the first turn. "With this difficulty
even the start was not long delayed, and with a fair run off
to all.

Faustine and Glen Ellen made a lively pace after the flag
fell, especially after pasBing the quarter-pole as the back
stretch was covered in 24A seconds, with so little difference
between them at that point that it was bard to determine
which had the beBt of it, Geoffrey and Installation several
lengths behind, the last named dropping hopelessly back
beaten while Geoffrey closed the gap when rounding the turn
and at the "head" of tbe homestretch his head was on the
hip of Glen Ellen. The filly appeared to be Bomewhat
cramped for room between the Palo Alto colts, dropping
back so that Geoffrey had a fair ohance at hiB stable com-
panion.

From that point home one of the moBt spirited dual con-
tests ever witnessed ensued.

Both jockeys rode as though life depended on their exer-
tions and the coltB responded gamely, every inch stubbornly
fought.

Faustine led a short neck at tbe trotting distance and the
backers of the handsome lilly shouted mndly as ohe still had
a head tbe best of it. when within a few feet of home.

Vain hope, in the last two strides Geoffrey reached the far-
thest and at the critical point he scored a victory by half a
head. He wore winkers so that it seemed be bad still more

of an advantage but it is certain the difference could have
been guaged without opening a pocket rule.

Tbe face gave great satisfaction. Spectators who did not
know that both colts belonged in the same Btable were hugely
gratified, the division were pleased to "run ouf irre-
spective of ownership.

The third race unfortunately gave riso to some bitter feel-
ings owing to a'mistake made in tbe placing, but, happily,
after due consideration was awarded, and the matter fairly
understood, the ultimate verdict of the judges was admitted
to be correct.

It was a dash of a mile, the Btarters Jou Jou, Mozart,
Rosa Lewis, Nabeao, Al Farrow, Brutus, Jack Brady and
Laura Gardner, the position at the start being as their names
are written.

Brutus was the favorite in the betting, but why he should
be so in such a field of horses was difficult to account for.

His trainer, Henry Walsh, declared that the colt was over-
rated, and though a good, and eminently a fast colt in Buch a
field as he had to meet there was no cause for such decided
favoritism. Tbe start was also against him as he wasjlengths
back when the flag fell and though so far as could be told
from his winning he could not have won under more favor-
able circumstances, at it was, he was beaten at the outset. It
was a grand race, however, especially from the three-quaiter
pole home.

The pace was fast and five of the horseB were never far
apart from the stand, there was an alignment of noses clear
across the track, and when within one hundred yards of
home, anyone of four could be reasonably expected to win.
These were Al Farrow, Laura Gardner, Jack Brady and Mo-
zart, and though the first named, Al Farrow, held the pride
of place, winning by a good neck, Laura Gardner, Jack Brady
and Mozart, were so closely locked that a few inches em-
braced the difference between them all.

In making the first announcement the judges placed
Mozart second, but being convinced this was an error, Laura
Gardner was given second and Jack Brady third. The time,
1:43.

The fourth race was a stake for two-year-olds, dash of half
a mile, and a trio of wonderfully good colts answered the
call. Palo Alto, as in tha three-year-old, started two, Pliny
and Kacine, the first Double CrosB to appear in a race being
Guido.

Of course Palo Alto was a decided favorite, and justly so,
as the pair showed to be in admirable order. But had it
been known generally that Guido could run the half mile
with 110 pounds up something inside of 49 h this early in the
spring, more money would have been lost on him than was
ventured. Racine had run three-eighths of u mile in a falee
Btart, and when the start was given both of the others had
the best of it over him. Guido and Pliny "hustled" around
the turn at a great rate, most of the watches marking inside
of twenty-four seconds, and though that was too good to be
kept up, there was endurance enough to finish tbe half in
49£, Pliny beating Guido a neck, Racino a couple of lengths
in the rear.

The closing race of the day was another dash of a mile for
all ages, and again the spectators were treated to bo close a
finish that hearts of backers were beating wildly at tbe tremb-
ling of the scale. It was Welcome, Nerva; Nerva, Weloome.
Nerva, however, eventually winning the plaudits by a short
neck over Welcome, Lady Helen a good third. Time, 1:44.

SECOND DAY.

When the train arrived from San Francisco on Monday
evening, it was easily seen that greater interest was mani-
fested than on Saturday, the racing of the first day having
given some indication as to tbe relative strength of the
various stables. After supper the large billiard room of tbe
Lick House was well filled with those who prefer to patronize
the pool-bos, and Auctioneer Whitehead was not long in
getting to work. The following is about a fair average of the
pools sold:

First race— Geraldine $50, Jack Brady and Tom Daly (sold
as a stable) §10, White Cloud and Jou .Ion !?6 each, Vincu $2.

Second race— Racine and Pliny (stable) $60, Guido $0,
Mir ope $4.

Third race — Al Farrow $40, Welcome and Ed McGinnis
(stable) $20, Wild Oats $16, Brutus $13, Mozart $15, Ne-
beau $6.

Fourth race— White Cloud $40, Bogus $12, Nerva $S,
Johnny Gray $4, Ito $2.

Tuesday morning opened up cloudy, but that did not pre-
vent a much larger attendance from goirjg to tbe track than
was present on tbe opening day. Five boolium'
present to accommodate the betting public, in addi
pool sellers. Taken as a whole, the races were
there being many close finishes. Fur the first
starters came to the post, Geraldine being the gi i

When the flag fell White Cloud had a slight advantage, with
Geraldine close on her flank, and before half a furlong was
gone over, the balance were Btrung out like a procession.
When the head of the stretch was reached, a hard straggle
ensued between White Cloud and Geraldine. The filly oat-
lasted the gelding, however, and came under the wire winner
by a length, Tom Daly being a close third. The following

For the Motor Stakes only four faced the starter, and as
a natural consequence the Palo Alto entries had the warmest
support, after their splendid performance on Saturday.
Immediately on being sent off, Racine took the lead, but
Guido kept him going, aDd for a short time it looked as
though the Double Cross colt would prove the victor, but
Racine waB in magnificent form and won by a short length.
Pliny does not seem as though he relished such fast com-
pany, but may show up better at the Bay District track.
Hirope needs more preparation to become a winner, but he
is of the improving kind, and will be heard from later on.

The University Stakes brought out the older contingent,
and this was a really enjoyable contest, several of the horses
being so evenly matched that it was hard to tell until almoBt
the finish, who had the best handicap. On the send off Al
Farrow immediately took the lead, but at the quarter Hazlett
let out a link with Welcome, and took the commanding posi-
tion, being pushed by Mozart for the lead. The rider of
Farrow evidently knew the calibre of his moaut for he con-
tented himself with third place, the balance bringing up the
rear in straggling order. On nearing the three-quarter pole
Narvice gave Al Farrow bis head, and the son of Connor was
but a few seconds in gaining the head of his held once more.
It was now a tight for second place between Welcome and
Mozart, and the former would not be denied, he finishing
second to Al Farrow, with the aged representative of the
Maltese Villa Stable a good third. The balance were cer-
tainly outclassed at the weights.

SUMMARY.

Third race— University stakes, for all ages. Entrance $26 each, for-
feit $10, or only $5 if declared out by March 25th, with $260 added,

The fourth and last race of the day brought out a field of
good horses, the pinto "White Cloud being selected to carry
the bulk of the public money. Bogus was a strong second
favorite, many fancying he could go the short distance fast
enough to beat Mr. Appleby's nomination. The first heat
was fiercely fought from start to finish, White Cloud, Bogus
and Johnny Gray striving for the premier position, but
"White Cloud was in better fettle than the others and won the
heat, but by a neck only, Johnny Gray coming Id second.
A claim of foul was lodged with the judges by the owner of
Bogus, it being claimed that Gray ran in on his horse and
thus prevented Bogus from getting the place. The judges
saw fit to place Gray in third place and gave Bogus second.
In the second heat White Cloud got off in the lead and was
never headed, although hardly pressed by Bogus, who again
got second place.

THIRD DAY.

The cloudy and threatening weather, beyond question
kept many from going to San Jose Thursday, that would
otherwise have attended. The bookmakers were present in
force, much to their own regret, for they were hammered
unmercifully by a few of the fortunate ones, who thought
they had a good thing and worked it for all it was worth.

The opening race of the day had four starters in a six fur-
long heat contest, the strong favorite being Jack Brady.
The start was delayed a long time by the unruly conduct of
Elwood, but who when tbe flag fell had the best of the send
off by half a length, Jack Brady beiDg in second place. The
favorite very soon passed the Maltese Villa entry, and at the
quarter had for a contestant, Lady Helen, who tried to dis-
place the leader, but the pace was too hot, ,'the could not
keep it up, and Nerva finally passed her, gaining the second
placo, Jack Brady winning the first heat in the excellent
time of 1:16. The Elmwood stable had Nerva in exceedingly
good form, and intended to win the race with the mare, but
had undurated the snead of Brady slightly, and could not
win, although the second heat was a ding dong race from
start to finish. When the word was given Brady and Nerva
were off together nose and nose, the relative positions being
kept up to within two lengths of the wire, when Hazlett
seemed to lift his mount in first, but by the Bcantest of
heads.

A welter weight race was the next thing on the card, for
whioh there were four starters, tbe talent selecting Hello as
the probable winner, and the gelding did not disappoint his
supporters. A good start was effected, Alfarata having a
very slight advantage, the other three close on her flank.
The same position was maintained to the quarter where Hello
made a spurt and got the lead, which he maintained to the
end. Alfarata vainly tried to overhaul the chestnut, but the
speed was lacking, although the willingness was evident to
all.

Second race— Purse $200, light welter weights, for all ages. En"

The Almedan Stakes, one mile and a furlong, next claimed
attention, and as Palo Alto had two entries, it followed as a
matter of course that they carried the major part of the
money in the books. At the start Faustine rushed to the
fore, Wild Oats, Geoffrey and Glen Ellen following in the
order named. At the three-eighths Faustine fell back. Wild
Oats taking the lead, with Geoffrey coming rapidly op. The
latter was held wellin hand until three-quarters had been
run, when both of the Palo Alto entries were given their
heads, and a hot race ensued between the pair, Geoffrey win-
ning by a short length from his stable companion, Wild Oats
third.

SUMMARY.

Third Race— Almedan Stakes. For three-year-olds; of -?25 each, $10
forfeit, or only §5 if declared out by April 1st, with $250 added, of
which $100 to the second and $50 to tbe third ; winner of the Veudome

The last race of the day was an upset for the pencillers,
who thought from the previous day's running that they had
the speed of the various horses down to a tine point. A few
knowing ones plunged on Mozart, driving the price from 15
to 1 down to 6 to 1, and were well paid for their investments.
When the flag fell, Welcome took the lead with Jou Jou, and
Brutus as close companions. Jou Jou soon passed to the
front going at a high rate of speed, but the old horse could
not keep it up for when challenged by Brutus and Laura
Gardner, he fell back to the rear. When the pack turned
into the homestretch Mozart came away with a burst of speed
that the balance could not keep up with, and the old bay
gelding won by a length and a half, Laura Gardner being
second and Brutus third.

SUMMARY.

Fourth race— Alum Rock stakes, for all ages, of S25 each, $10 forfeit

Harmless wire Fencing-
Baling rope it has been said, holds California together.
The sayiDg might, with verge for wit, have been true in earlier
years, but reoently wire fencing has been the universal
binder, and it is within the knowledge of all that some forms
of the fencing have, while effective in coniining stock, yet
worked much injury. Mr. A. J. Robinson of 26 Beale street,
city, advertises this week a new sort of wire fencing that is
chicken proof, rabbit proof, and proof against anything else.
It inakeB the best possible kennel enclosures, and is sold so
cheaply as to enable all to use it. For breeders of horses and
cattle it recommends itself on the ground of safety, strength
and cheapness.

Eastern newspapers.

The fast racing mare Repetta, owned by the Matlock Bros.

District track before Monday afternoon.

Adonis will be brought from the Palo Alto Farm within
a few days, he having had all the rest necessary for him
preparatory to beginning the campaign of 1S8S.

$75,000 for Stamboul, but says he was asked to place a price
on the stallion, when he replied that Stamboul was not for
sale.

In addition to other horses bought, a telegram states, that
Mr. B. C. Holly, of Vallejo, has also purchased the three-year-
old stallion Happy Prince, by Bayonne Prince, dam Belle
Medium.

Mr. O. H. Lockhart of Los Angeles, has purchased from

that Bessie June had arrived m Kentucky and was to be bred.
The mare is still in Frank McCabe's hands at the Brooklyn
track and in active training.

A wealthy gentleman has commissioned Driver Griffen to
purchase a trotting horse that can beat 2:20. The advertise-
ment says that a mare is preferred. Any one having such

It is being whispered about among the knowing ones in
New York, that it is the intention of the Hearst stable to send
Gleu Echo for the Suburban, in preference to Gorgo or San
Simeon. The report lacks confirmation, however.

A curiouB incident took place at the Anteuil (France) meet-
ing a few weeks ago. Baron Finot's Pantin, ridden by Bark-
er, started to walk over for the Prix Glycine, (Steeplechase),
but the horBe fell, and the race had to be declared void.

Mr. Valensin tells me that he is offered a guarantee of a cer-
tain number of mares, for Sidney, ai $500, the season, if he
would send bis great sire to Kentucky in 1S90. It is juet
possible, that his figure will be that next year, in California^

Senator HearBt has been adding to his possessions, having
lately bought over 400 acres in the neighborhood of Pleas-
anton, from R. M. Fitzgerald. On the newly acquired land, a
race track will be laid out, and the entire farm turned into
an immense breediDg establishment.

Mr. R. H. Farmer now has charge of the stallion Long-
worth, which is standing in Oakland, and he desires all per-
sons who have been corresponding with J. J. Fairbanks in
regard to the service of the stallion, to re-write to him, care
of Dietz Opera HouBe, Oakland, Alameda Co.

I received word last week, but too late for that issue" of the
paper, that the brood mare Explosion dropped on the 25th, at
Rancho Del Paio, a filly foal which is a full sister to the
famous Dew Drop, being by Falsetto. The youngster is
brown in color and marked the same as her famous sister.

I had a very pleasant call last Monday from N. I. Baldwin,
the energetic Secretary of the Fresno Agricultural Park
Association. He reports that the day has not been Bet for
the $20,000 race this fall, but it will be selected upon his
finding out what will be the best date for tbe horsemen.
Several entries V-ave already been promised for the event,
and there is no donbt that the scheme will be a great success.
Mr. Baldwin also spates that there will be four days raciDg at
the same time, irrespective of the annual fair.

M. R. Bissell, of Grand Rapids, Mich,, who latoly pur-
chased a half interest in Anteeo, for $15,000, died at hia
home, week before last, aged 46 years. He was a warm and
enthusiastic lover of the horse and had a large number of
friends among the breeders of the country.

Aureliua giveB this vary sensible advice; "Don't be a
'stud-hoss man,' and say that your animals are the only good
ones and every one else's are bad. Such a course marks you
a 'plug,' and injures yon more than the other fellow."

Joe Crabb of Walla Walla, who has been spending a few
months in San Franoiso, started home last week. His health
is much improved, and he goes back more determined than
ever that there shall be square racing whenever he has a
say.

I saw the veteran, Fred Collier, selecting ten stalls at the
Bay District track a few days ago for the Theodore Winters
string, and he says they have a world beater among them.
Wonder if he means EI Rio Rey? for I know that the brother
of the Emperor of Norfolk is as fast as the wind.

I saw the pacer Edwin C. worked out a mile last Saturday
in 2:25£; tbe last half was made in 1:08, and the last quarter
in 33 seconds. It will be a surprise to many if he does not
reach a 2:15 mark during the present year. Mr. Griffeu
thinks he is one of the most promising colts he has ever
handled.

M. Saulsbury, Esq , started for the East on the Golden
Gate special last Saturday evening. Business interests
required hiB presence at Washington, but he will return to
look after the Pleasanton Stock Farm in about three weeks.
In the meantime Andy McDowell will welcome any visitors
to the home of Director.

Mr. W. Armstrong, a well known horseman of Romeo,
Mich., who has been spending several weeks on the slope,
returned to his home on Saturday last. "Billy" has a host of
friends on the Pacific Coast who will gladly welcome him if
he comes back to make San Francisco his home, as is cur-
rently reported he will do.

D . J. McCarly has purchased th6 trotting mare Nellie
Burns, from Dr. Burns and will be taken East with the bal-
ance of the consignment. She is by Milliman's Bellfounder,
dam by Whipple's Hambletonian. Tbe mare has a colt at
her side by Guy Wilkes, and is now in foal to Le Grande.
Price not given.

Mr. William Easton, of New York, has received orders
from E. J. Baldwin to prepare for a sale of Santa Anita yearl-
ings and two-year-olds, some time in May. Bred as they are,
Grinstead, Rutherford, etc., and from Glenelg, Monar-
chist and other choicely bred mares, they should command
large prices, especially now when California raised youngsters
are in such demand.

Mr. Baldwin says he has not made up his mind positively
to retire from the racing business, but may possibly do so, as
his diversified interests are so many that he cannot pay the
attention to the stable, which it actually needs. He will
still keep on as a breeder however, and he expects that his
fifty choice mares will enable him to hold an annual sale.

All horsemen are preparing for the spring meetings, and
none more bo, than Harry McLaughlin, who is getting all the
carriage stalls in order for the reception of guests during the
forthcoming Blood Rorse races. Harry has even fixed up his
room at the entrance to the track, his trophys of the chase,
and horse pictures giving it a much improved appearance.

I was pleased to hear from Secretary Culver, of the Blood
Horse Ass ciation, that at the coming meeting Australian
bred horses will have the following allowances made them:
Two and three-year-olds eight pounds, four-year-olds five
pounds, and five-year-olds three pounds. This is as it
should be, and now I hope the Turf Congress will follow
suit.

The declarations for the City handicap to be run at Jerome
Park number 14, as follows: Firenzi, 128 pounds; Hanover,
128; Prince Royal, 123; Eolian, 121; Raceland, 120;
Taragon, 115; Bella B. 114; Defaulter, 114; George Oyster.
108; Now or Never, 108; Falconer, 107; Larchment, 106;
Indolence, 100; and Chickahominy, 100.

My old friend, Noah Armstrong, is jubilant over the pros-
pects of his Hyder Ali colt, Spokane, and predicts great
things for him. The turf writers at Memphis say that he is
doing the best work of any horse of his years, and shows
great form. He seems to be the idol of the track, and every-
body, jockeys, stable boys, in fact the whole army of turf
people, are "stuck on Spokane.'1

Florilla, a chestnut filly by Rutherford, out of Savannah,
died very suddenly at Baldwin's stable at Santa Anita on
Monday last. Florilla was a very promising two-year-old,
and was very forward in her work, being entered for the
Rodman scramble, which comes off next Monday at Los
Angeles. She was also entered largely in Eastern two-year-
old events.

Sam McMillan says that he thinks be has made the best
purchase of his life in the Guy Wilkes colt Derby, out of the
producer Norma. He was offered $3,500 for him and only
pud $1,100. Mr. McMillan does not want to sell, as be has
sent him to Milburn Stock Farm, in Mercer County, Pa.,
where he is to take the place of Gov. Stanford, who will be
handled by Cope Stinson for a record.

Dr. R. Watkins, the veterinary dentist, has returned to
San Francisoo after a twenty-three days visit to Palo Alto, j
The trip was not altogether one of pleasure, as he operated [
on the teeth of 337 horses. Among other operations per- j
formed was the removal from a mare's cheek of a stone about
two inches in length and three-quarters of an inch in width,
which had grown between the inner and outer walls of the
cheek.

A paragraph is floating about to the effect tbat the Messrs.
Dwyerare going to pay Isaac Murphy $1,000 more than
Baldwin paid him last year, which was $10,000 to .ride for
them this year. Philip Dwyer says this is not so; that he
will not pay Murphy any such exorbitant salary, but will
merely have him as a jockey to call on when Taylor, who
will be his chief jockey, would be forced to carry too much
dead weight.

McCurdy's Hambletonian 1644, A. T. R.. died on the 22od.
of la^t month, from cramp colic. He was foaled in 1874, by
Harold, dam Belle (dam of Belmont) by Mambrino Chief.
He was the sire of Lulu Hambletonian, 2:27; Miss McCurdy,
2:28|; McEwen. 2:25}; Red Fern. 2:27$. Bred by A. J.
Alexander of "Woodburn." Ky. He was sold to W. L. Mc-
Curdy, who has since owned him. He was valued at $20,000.

Among trotting horsemen In San Francisco, it is generally
acknowledged that Adonis is the best pacer in the world to-
day. If his owner thinks the same way, there should be little
trouble in arranging a Sweepstakes, for in addition to Almont
Patchen, whose owner, Mr. Corey, is anxious to join in such
a race, there would be Yolo Maid, Gold Leaf and Johnson to
participate. Let the match be made by all means and deter-
mine the relative merits of the pacers.

A telegram was Bent to this coast, some ten days ago, stat-
ing that Pancoast was dead. Mr. Sbolts, the owner of this
well-known sire, has sent out the following: The informa-
tion is far from being correct, as the sire of Patron is to-day
doing and feeling bettea than at any time since he was struck
by lightning last June. He is jogged every day on the minia-
ture track in the main barn at Parkville Farm, and has al-
ready been led to two mares this season.

The irrepressible Sire Bros, say they cannot agree to come
to California with Gossip Jr., and pace against Adonis in
accordance with the liberal offer made them by O. A. Hickok,
because time will not permit, but they are willing to arrange
a match, the race to take place at either Detroit or Chicago.
Before the season 1b well advanced they will be willing to go
anywhere, for it does not look as though they were going to
be reinstated.

The great combination sale advertised by Killip & Co.,
is exciting a great deal of interest, and already many large
entries are promised. Two or three interested parties, have
advited a postponement, so the promoters now select the
14th of May instead of the 9th. Too much stress cannot be
laid on tbe great importance of the sale to the breeders of
California, and it 1b therefore urged strongly upon all prospec-
tive buyers or sellers, that they assist MesBrs. Killip & Co.
in this undertaking.

The trotting horsemen are fixing up their quarters at Agri-
cultural Park and are getting ready to train their steeds in
the regular way as soon as the track is dry enough — probably
next week, says the Petaluma Argas. The boys have been
driving on the roads for several months and are becoming
anxious to do some fast work. The present track is as good
as any in the State for summer and fall work, bnt is a con-
spicuous failure in wet weather. Some day an inside track
will be built and covered with sand for winter use. We
must have it if it does come high.

C. T. Boots was driving along the Alameda about 7 o'clock
Monday evening in a cart with two friend?, says the San Jose
Mercury, when the horse he was driving necame frightened,
and in turning upset and threw its occupants to the ground.
Boots caught his leg in the side of the cart and narrowly
escaped serious injury from the kicks of the frightened
animal being pinned on the ground. S. G. Tompkins noticed
his perilous position and managed to extricate him therefrom,
at the same time assisting to capture the horse. Boots es-
caped with numerous bruises, while one of his friends was
stunned for a few minutes, but soon recovered.

I have received a letter from W. H. E Smith, of Rohner-
ville, Cal., in which he blames me for not mentioning Pos-
coro Hay ward, as the sire of Sable Hayward. when Mr. Cor-
bett sold his seven fillies at private sale. Mr. Smith probably
overlooked what was Baid about the Bale in. the Breeder asd
Sportsmax, as Mr Corbett was too busy getting ready to go
East, so we copied it from the Call and gave due credit. Mr.
Smith also says that our compiler left out the came of Pos-
coro Hayward oat of the 2:30 list of Californian horses, but
it is greatly to the credit of the gentleman who devoted so
much time to the list, that this is the only one left out of the
compilation as far as heard from. Secretaries will please
take notice that Poscoro Hayward haR a record of 2:23i. It
should also be stated that Patchen in the same list should
be credited to Henry B. Patchen instead cf Geo. M. Patchen
Jr.

A strange feature in connection with the Kentucky handi-
cap has developed. The Chicago stable entry included
Egmont and Macbeth, as the stable books show. When the
handicap weights appeared, it was stated in a Louisville
paper that the two horses bad been declared. George
Hankina, the owner, and B. J. Johnson, the trainer for the
stable, were the only persons who legally could declare Eg-
mont and Macbeth. Mr. Hankins says neither one did so.
He wrote to Col. M. Lewis Clark, March 3, for information
as to why the two horses had not been assigned weights, and
a few days afterward sent a similar letter of inquiry to the
handicaper, Mr. Bruce. Nd reply was returned by either.
Both have since been written to again, but no reply has
been received. The owner of the big stable is naturally
very much exercised about the affair, and it would seem
that an explanation is in order from the officers of the
Louisville Jockey Club.

The Los Angeles Tribune says there are a couple of gentle-
men in that ci y, who missed the flood tide which leads on to
fortune. Less than two months ago these two gentlemen
were offered Rosemeade, — the ranch, — all the trotters, in-
cluding Stamboul, Alcazar. Harvester, Mascot, Vesolia and
all the brood mares, for $200,000. Mr. Rose needed money
at that time and was willing to sell the famous breeding
farm for that sum. He who hesitates is lost, and that is why
these two Los Angeles gentlemen missed making a quarter of
a million of dollars. Stamboul sold for $50,000, and at a
public salp at New York City forty youngsters brought $120,-
000, and Vesolia and several brood mures sold, brought the
total amount up to $190,000. These gentlemen, if they had
been venturesome, would have bad Rosemeade aud all the
brood mares, minus forty youngsters, for a paltry $10,000.
The Stamboul and Alcazar youngsters now on the ranch
should realize $100,000 by a sale next year, while the new
comers this year will be worth that amount in 1891.

"Folio" hazards the prediction that during the coming
fall circuit in California there will be witnessed the greatest
four-year-old contest that ever took place. Gossiper 2:22$,
Direot2:23, and Grandee 2:23A will, barring accidents, meet
in company with Moses S. 2:29$, Balkan 2:29$, and others
aB yet unknown to record fame. If asked to name the win-
ners, he Bays he would unhesitatingly hazard his imputation
as a prophet and select Grandee 2:231, sire of LeGrand.
Direct 2:23, was a rare good one laBt year, and if report speaks
truly, he is even better now; Gossiper 2:22$ (against time),
which latter won the race, however, has very discreetly been
kept dark, but that will not affect hia speed: others of slower
records and lesser fame are no slouches; but in the opioinn of
'Folio,' Grandee bas never yet been extended. F
not care to mark the time to be made, bnt
were superintendent at Palo Alto he would want I
up a four-year-old nag that could knock a notch
Manzanita's 2:16 record.

Hanford Stallion Show.

At various places in the Slate, stallion shows have been
held lately, and too much caunot be said in favor of them, as
the intelligent breeder wishes to see the individual, and can-
not spare the time, in many instances, to visit fifteen or
twenty different localities to examine the horses, bnt he will
spare one day when they can be viewed collectively. The
most snccessf ul meeting of the kind ever held in the southern
part of the State took place at Hanford, Tulare County, on
last Monday, there being no less than sixty-three stallionB
paraded. The exhibition included imported Norman, Clyde
and Cleveland bay horses, standard9 trotting bred stallions,
thoroughbred and grade stallions.

The many beautiful horses were much admired by the
large concourse of persons present, and many mares were
booked during the "day. To add to the general interest,
many mares with their foals were also Bhown, thus proviDg
to those desirous of information what the different sires
could do. To enliven the scene, the Hanford Brass Band
discoursed sweet music, and were highly complimented on
their prolicency. The horse-breeding interest in that neigh-
borhood is a very large one, and the meeting of MoDday is
bonnd to result beneficially to all concerned.

ATHLETICS.

A Benefit to Mr. A. H. Lean.

To-night, at the Standard Theatre, a benefit will be ten-
dered to Mr. A. H. Lean, well known as a wrestler and gen-
eral athlete. Mr. Lean's willingness at all times to assist at
similar events for his friends, has enabled him to offer a long
aad lively programme of boxiDg. wrestling and other exercises,
which should attract a large audience.

THE KENNEL.

Dog ownerB are requested to Bend for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all Instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr. Thos. Slipper, of Eugene, Oregon, offers, through the
alvertising columns, some fox-terrier poppies, for the breed-
ing of which he avouches. Mr. J. B. Martin, of this city.
ownB a terrier from Mr. Slipper's kennel, and speaks well of
it.

In answer to a request for his notions about what tricks
should be taught a "trick dog" and how they should be
judged, that veteran trainer and successful exhibitor Mr.
Fred A. Taft of Truckee, writes:

Yours of 30th received; nothing necessary to answer except
about "trick dogs" I have none to show. Have taken
enough on Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. Old Uncle "Dorr"
will be at the P. K. C. show on exhibition only, unless there
is a veteran class. Now, as to tricks, the more a dog oan do
amusing the people, the better; but the judgment should be,
in the class of tricks, whether or not it is play, or that the
dog has got to do cheerfully what he is told to. There are
lots of Bimple tricks that will amuse the people, and at the
same time are the easiest to teach. Have a trick class, and
if you can't find any one else to judge it (I don't want it), I
will do so free of expense, and afterwards may give an exhi-
bition of the old "veteran."

"Whelps-

Mr. JameB E. Watson's black pointer Black Bess, whelped
March 2Sth, Beven, three dogs, to owner's Old Black Joe.

A litter of pnpnies by Old Black -Toe waB recently pre-
sented to Mr. WatBon by his pointer Black Bess, che welfare
of which will be noted with pleasure by all pointer fanciers.
Black Joe was a grand dog, and we hope may be reproduced
in his progeny.

Mr. "W. S. Kittle's pointer Donna Drab {Vandevort's Don —
Drab) whelped, March 31st, rive, two dogs, to Mr. E. W.
Briggs Climax (Bang Bang— BeUona).

Pacific Kennel Club.

The monthly meeting for April, was held at the office of
President K. E. Wilson, £19 California street, last night, the
president in the chair, and Messrs. Wm. Schrieber, H. R.
Brown, Jas. E. Watson, Clarence A. Haight, J. F, Carroll,
Thos. J. O'Keeffe and H. H. Briggs, present.

After approval of the minutes of the preceding meeting,
the treasurer, Mr. Watson, reported $121.07 on hand, after
the payment of something like $400 in bills.

Mr. K. K. Gardner, of San Francisco, was elected to mem-
bership.

A letter from Mr. William Graham, of Belfast, Ireland, ac-
cepting the position of judge of all classes of dogs at the com-
ing show.

A letter from Mr. Elliott Smith, resigning as delegate of the
Pacific Kennel Club, to the A. K. C, was read and accepted.

The matter of selecting a substitute for Mr. Smith was de-
ferred to the next meeting.

Most of the evening was spent in discussing various de-
tails of the coming dog show.

Cropping:.

It is not improbable that the English Kennel Club will for"
bid cropping the ears of any dogs exhibited at its bench
showB.

At a meeting held on March 8th., strong ground against
the praotice was taken by Mr. J Sidney Turner, Mr. Percy
C. Reid and others.

Mr. Turner described the cruelty of the praotice which
in his opinion oaused great Buffering — not so much the
actual operation, but afterwards, when the unhealed earB had
to be pulled about and rubbed to make them stand up Drop-
erly. He further stated that the only breedB that would be
affected were Great Danes, Bull terriers, Irish terriers, Black
and Tan terriers and Yorkshire terriers, but that he might
dismiss the last named, as in their case it did not much mat-
^r for show purposes whether they were cropped or not.
With regard to Irish terriers and Black and Tan terriers the
general feeling among owrners of these breeds waa that crop-
ping shonld be stopped, and, in fact, both the Irish Terrier
Club and the Black and Terrier Club had taken steps to abol-
ish the custom. Therefore, it whs onl> as concerning Great
Danes and Bull terriers that the matter had to be considered,
and no doubt the owners and breeders of these two breeds
would be against his resolution, but that in their case it was
only a matter of fashion, and if the custom was abolished
they <Tould then be bred with good ears. He alBO referred to

the rouDding of hound's ears, which, be states, was only re-
sorted to in the caBe of foxhounds, as staghounds and har-
rierB had their ears left in a natural state, and added that he
believed in the case of foxhounds it was only resorted to for
giving a level look to a pack, and not for any purposes of
utility, as be maintained that Nature in her work never
erred, and that the natural ear was less liable to be damaged
by thorns and briars than a short rounded ear, which would
offer more resistance. He then referred to the loose skin
generally of the feline race, which by its yielding nature
could not be ripped open by the claws like the tighter skin
of other animals which offered more resistance, as a proof as
his argument. He finally stated he did not consider the
docking of tails cruel, and aB to rounding ears, although Dot
bo cruel as cropping, he Bhould like to see it done away with
as a useless practice.

Kennel Management.

In these dayB when distemper seems to reign without let
or hinderance, kennel owners may profit by a few bints
about the management of their dogs in kennel, and those
who conduct public kennels should lose no opportunity to
get information which may enable tnem to stop the dis-
orders which for Bix months past have had their own dire
ways. The man who owns but one dog is not always suc-
cessful in raisiDg him, despite the time and means at com-
mand, while he who controls a dozen or more seemB to be
lucky, these days if he can conduct a moiety of them to dog-
hood without chorea, deafnesB, canker or other ordinary
sequels to puppyhood. Some of the best and most prac-
tical hints that have appeared recently are made bv Vigil who
has written much of ii terest in a kennel way, some of his
best articles having been printed in the English Kennel
Gazette, the journal after which the American publication is
patterned. Although the management of kennels is a sub-
ject which has often been written about, it is a remarkable
fact that very few indeed of the many, where valuable dogs
are kept, can be said to be really well managed. To this
may be traced the numerouB disappointments of which own-
ers of dogs are so often complaining, probably blaming
others for the cause which, if looked for in the right direc-
tion, would be found at home. Given that the animals are
in good health and condition when they are placed in their
kennels, and that these are not soiled with any contagiouB
disease, there is no reason why dogs should not be kept as
free from ailments and get through the natural duties of
life as well as other domestic animals which are kept for the
use and pecuniary benefit of man.

It is seldom, however, that this very desirable end is
obtained, want of judgment in the arrangements of the ken-
nels, insufficient exercise, improper feeding, aad inattention
to the grooming of dogs tend to produce skin disease, canker,
worms, etc.; their constitutions become weakened, puppies
die, and those who looked forward to deriviDg pleasnreable
recreation in their leisure hours become disgusted, and so
many would be breeders and exhibitors are lost sight of for
ever. Prevention is better than cure is an old adage which
particularly applies in connection with the subject under
consideration.

To keep dogs in good condition aud health the proper plan
is to follow the laws of nature which apply to the carnivora
in the natural state as far as is possible in the artificial posi-
tion in which necessity has ordered the regulations of large
kennels in the present day. Biscuits and other foods of the
same description are all very well as a supplementpry ad-
junct to flesh, which should be made the principal food. As
a proof of this feed a dog on biscuits and he will run to every
dust heap and rummage for any filth in the shape of animal
matter that he oan find; but let him have a fair amount of
good wholesome cooked or raw meat, and he will invariably
show his disgust for the garbage which ho finds in the recep-
tacle for the household refuse.

By condition we do not mean fat; condition meaDs muscu-
lar development from the tip of the nose to the end of the
stern. This iB brought on by giving meat in a fair propor-
tion as food, and enables the animal to produce healthy
progeny. Fat, on the other hand, leads to an unhealthy
state of ex stence, the generation of all kinds of diseases, and
the ultimate decay of the subject. How many dogs alike
valuable from a pecuniary point of view and for stud have
been consigned to an early death from the ignorance of their
owners, through the mistaken idea that a dog suffering from
skin disease should not have meat.

In speaking of skin disease we mean eczema. Ordinary
mange is easy to eradicate; the application of a dressing to
destroy the animalculse on the body of the animal and then
of some powerful disinfectant used throughout the kennel is
all that is required; but eczema is more difficult to deal with,
and ninety times out of a hundred instead of withholding
meat it should be giveu in larger quantities. Yet one re-
peatedly hears that eczema has been caused by too much
meat having been given. Some people contend that flesh
must not be used because it makes dogs smell, often attri-
buting the fusty aroma which ascends from a dog and is
caused by a debilitated state of health to what is called high
feeding, when it is in reality quite the reverse. Meat forms
muscle, farinaceous food produces fat; the combination of
the two, however, makes a suitable food for dogs. Some peo-
ple feed their dogs entirely on flesh; in fact, one of the oldest
and most r« apected judges in days gone by, when he kept a
large kennel of sporting dogs used to hang up a carcase of
flesh and let his dogs go to it when they liked.

To improper feeding may be traced moat of the ills to
which puppies are heirs, the digestive organs become weak-
ened, when rickets and worms soon follow. The latter, the
greatest pests of the canine race, are doubtless indirectly the
cause of more deaths in puppies than even distemper, but
they are greatly helped by bid feeding. When a puppy is
thriving worms do not obtain so strong a hold, but in a
weakly puppy they increase and multiply to an alarming
extent. It may be said that the pres°nce of the worm causes
the emaciation. True, after they had once become esta-
blished; but if a well-fed and thriving whelp has the Bame
number of worms to start with as one that is badly fed and
weakly, the parasites will increase to a much greater extent
in the latter, whilst in the former they will sometimes be
voided without the assistance of a vermifuge.

One of the most important items io the mauagememt of
kennels is to take every precaution to guard against the
generation of worms. One never knows where the ova are
to be found; they may be in the ground, in the railings,
amongst the bedding, or on the bodies of the dogs. Every
time a dog is Been to lick another there is a possibility that
this parasite is being swallowed into the body. And this
brings us back to the beBt materials of which to build the
kennels and yard for the latter. Nothing is better than
asphalt. The tar in the composition id not only hateful to
parasites, but a good disinfectant. It iB curious to note that
whenever tar is used in kennel the inmates always do will,
which reminds us of an old-fashioned supposed prevention

of distemper, that of putting a small quantity of Stockholm
tar daily on to the noses of puppies. We do not know
whether this ever did any gco*i, but is is certain that tar, if
it were not so sticky, is the beBt coating for the boards and
railings of kennels. A plentiful supply of clean and dry
wheat straw is another great factor towards the comfort and
health of dogs. If changed often enough and given liberally
they need no further grooming, except that in passing the
brush over their coats the ova of parasites may be removed,
which is not to be thought lightly of when it 1b considered
necessary by doctors that children should wash their hands
after stroking a dog. It may not generally be known that
both mange may be contracted and worms obtained in this
way by the human subject.

On the management of the brood bitch when about to have
her puppies often depends the life or death of both the
mother and her offspring. It is at this period that warmth is
an absolute necessity. One has only to consider what the effect
upon newly-born puppies must be when they rind themselves
turned out of warm quarters on to the cold and often very
wet bed of straw. The warmth of the mother's body, if in an
open bench, is not enough under the circumstances, more
particularly as she is often distressed with the throes of
labor and cannot keep her little charges close up to her. It
is, therefore, better to make her a little tent or covered box
so that the warmth emitted from her body cannot escape.
Those who have sent dogs in cases by railway will have
noticed the heat which comes from the boxes when they are
first opened, and will so understand how a modification of
that is advantageous when puppies are first born. When
a foster mother is made use of the best time to change the
puppies is just after they are born, before they have been
licked. Almost all foster mothers will at once take to an un-
licked puppy. When, however, the whelps are able to run
about it la better not to keep them very warm, as they are
more liable to take cold should they get iutoa draught. Give
them a warm bed to go to, but let them have the chance of
getting as much fresh air aB they like, for as they are begun
with so they must be gone on with. We have often seen
youngsters rolling about in the wet graBs thriving better than
others that have been kept in the dry; they should always,
however, have a dry bed to run to.

It often happens that old dogs will soil their beds, and
this applies to puppies also. When this is the case pot the
water and the feeding pan in a oorner of the bench. Dogs
are very particular in this respect and always select the
furthest point from their food.

ROD.

A Trout Query.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I send you a specimen
of trout that differs so radically from anything I have ever
seen before as to excite my curiosity greatly. Is it a mere
"sport" or freak, or is it a new variety, or is it a hybrid ? The
peculiarities that I note are in the shape of the head, the
round, sardine-shaped body, flat back and very peculiar
swayback. These peculiarities were much more distinctly
marked in a larger one, that was unfoitunately thoughtlessly
sacrificed to sportsman's appetites. About five per cent of
the catch were similar to this. I find that these points are
not bo easily seen as when the fish came fre°h from the
water, but I think you will have no difficulty in distinguish-
ing them. H- C. Campbell.

Sax Fraxcisco, April 2, '89.

[We are obliged by Mr. Campbell and have consulted sev-
eral authorities, without satisfactory results. The fish sent,
a four-inch, half-ounce specimen, is probably a young steel-
head. The peculiarities in 6hape may be due to habit. Fish
living in slack water are not so deep as those compelled to
struggle against a current, are more sardine like. Mr. Camp-
bell does not Bay where the fish was taken, an important fact.
We should be pleased to receive his surmises about the fish.—
Ed.] ^

THE GUST,

Doctor C. W. Aby, manager of the Langtry and Gebhardt
rancho's in Lake County, is in the city professedly for the
purpose of settling certain reflectionsmade upon his expertness
with the shotgun by Mr. Matt Storn. Mr. Storn admits
that the Doctor can kill S2 snipe straight, but denies his
ability to go on killing them for four days without a miss.

This afternoon at Adam's Point, a match for the cham-
pionship of Central California at Blue Rocks, represented by
the Selby medal will be shot. The present holder Mr. F. J.
Bassford has been challenged by Mr. A. B. Sperry, of Stock-
ton, and others will enter. Those going over on the 1 o'clock
boat will be in time.

Mr. S. A. Tucker, agent for the Parker Bros., gunmakers,
of Meriden, Conn., is in the city on his semi-annual business
visit. He will remain until Friday next when he will leave
for Sacramento, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Salt Lake,
Denver and Minneapolis, reaching the latter city for the
tournament on May 2lBt. Mr. Tucker reports trade first-
rate, particularly in the hammerless gUDs recently offered by
the Messrs. Parker Bros. Tucker is as fat, Bleek, keen and
jolly bb ever.

Mr. Harvey McMurchy'sp'endid shot, delightfulcompanion,
handsome man, successful gun salesman, and agent for Mr,
L. C. Smith of Syracuse, N. Y., reached San Francisco on
Tuesday laBt. The annoyances of inoessant travel do not in
the least mar or ruffle our frieod and he bears evidence of
succewH in placing the splendid productions of Mr. Smith.
Mr. McMurchy has promised to give us some inside informa-
tion about the Smith gun that will interest our readers next
week. He is meeting an increased demand for the guns, and
those who bought last year speak in the highest terms of
the wearing and shooting qualities of the arms.

Death of W. P. Willard.

On Monday last, at his apartments in the Pacific Union
Club, Mr. William Patton Willard died, the cause given be-
ing heart disease. He had lived in San Francisco for mnny
years, and been prominent in mining circles and as a general
business man. Although fifty-two years old, his life bad
been so regular, and his devotion to field sports so marked
that in physique and carriage aa well as in manner and spir-
its he Beemed nearer thirty than fifty. Mr. Wdlard ever
Bince reaching majority has been identified with shooting and
fishing interests and organizations. flis summers were
passed in angling for trout and salmon, and durinR the win-
ter he shot ducks persistently. He waa a fine angler, a good
shot, a courteous man, a true friend, and will be mourned by
a circle of admirers as wide as the Pacific Slope.

Blue Rock Club.

Adam's Point, pretty as a picture io its setting of verdure
clad bills and sparkling lake, was made noisy on Saturday
afternoon last by fourteen members of the Blue Rock Club,
one of tbe strongest and best officered shooting organizations
on tbe Coast. President John 0. Cadman, despite his poor
score is a fine shot, and is also a genial, attractive man who
cannot but bring strength and life to the club. Major S. I.
Kellogg, Secretary, although more noted as a rifle shot, is
fast marching into recognition as an expert with the shot
gun and the Selby ammunition which he represents. The
directors are all act.ve sportsmen and fond of the club.
The meeting of Saturday last was tbe first of the season and
tbe large number of entries augurs well for the senson. The
time is not far distant when 13 out of 20 waB thought to be a
good score at Blue Rocks, but on Saturday more than half
the entries esceded that number at singles, while at tbe pairs
the work was of very high order.

Dr. Knowles and Major Kellogg tied on 25 total for the
day, with Mr. Norton close behind 24, and A. F. Adams 23.

The Parker Hammerless.

Sportsmen have heard from time to time that the Parker
Bros., gun makers at Meriden, Conn., were soon to issue a
hammerless gun, and conjecture has been general about what
the gun would be in system and as to its general desirability.
The hammer gune hitherto made by the firm have become
established as staples, being uniformly of high class as to
workmanship, hang, wearing quality and shooting power.
The general opinion in consequence haB been that when the
firm did issue a Hammerless, the gun would maintain the
reputation of the makers, but the gun itself, recently put on
the market, will surprise and pleas© any practical shot who
will be at pains to examine one. Sr> many new but simple
variations from the conventional Hammerless systems, appear
that the gun may fairly be said to be new. The reputation
and sale of the Parker gun are due largely to the efforts of
Mr. S. A. Tucker, now in San Francisco. Mr. Tucker's per-
sonal fitness to represent a gun firm is unquestionable.
Beside being a BUperb Bhot, he is a thorough student of guns
and gunnery, and always alert to learn of any little alteration
or change in principle which may be of advantage to the
Parker.

The firm is also fortunate in having as head of its gun
factory a genius in mechanics, Mr. Charles A. King. Per-
fectly unassuming, and not easy to draw out, he is never-
theless a compendium of gun lore, and always actively
engaged in the invention of new machinery and in maintain-
ing rigidly t-he average perfection in the Parker guns, which
must undergo his inspection before they leave the factory.

The new gun really embodies the combined ideas of Mr.
King and Mr. Tucker, representatively the manufacturer and
the uBer. In profile the gun iB handsome. The fore-end
merges into the action in an unbroken line, which continues
in a free sweeping line to the toe.

There is no suggestion of surplus wood or iron, the stock
being particularly clean from every point of view, while tbe
frame suggests the Anson and Delly, but is lighter and
more trim. The fitting and finish are excellent, the former
being unexceptionable, and the letter both tasty and finely
executed. The gun feels well in the hands, and is quite as
well balanced as need be. Mere outline, while not to be
overlooked, is however, not of the greatest importance, and
in the gun under mention, its beauty while great, will impress
the student less than the solid sensible way iu which the
lock mechanism is applied. A simple screw driver is the
only tool necessary to strip and assemble the gun. Every
working part is attached to solid iron, and none to wood, a
fact which insures the positive action of the gun in any
cl'mate, cold, warm, dry or humid.

The main springs used are spirals, a radical departure, but
one which can be sustained in principle and which is being
adopted by some of the heaviest manufacturers, and will in
time be used by all. The action of the spiral springs is
quick, they stand four or five times longer than the V spring
and are more pleasant to handle.

A pair of springs precisely like those used in the Parker
was subjected to cramping and tripping similar to that
received in using the gun, and each spring withstood 350,-
000 repetitions of the operation without injury. So sure is
Mr. King of the superiority of the springs that the Messrs.
Parker guaranteed them for twenty -five years.

But one cocking lever or slide used, in place of the two
ordinarily seen, and in the Parker the cocking slide moves
upon tbe bottom of the frame and not through holes bored
in the action. It can readily be reached to clean and oil it,
is amply strong, and works smoothly and easily. The play
of the cocking slide i6 5-32 of an inch, that only being the
extent to which it is necessary to cramp the spiral main
springs to secure the sharp stroke of tbe plunger which
characterizes the gun. A check hook of tbe simplest and
strongest form prevents possible injury to joints in the
handling of careless men, although the cocking principle
alone would operate as a check hook in ordinarily careful
hands.

The plunger and striker are one piece, and the plunger
when tripped and let fall agaiuBt the frame, as when tbe gun
is discharged strikes it on a broad face of solid steel, avoid-
ing all possibility of bruising either frame or plunger and
making it possible to Bnap the gun when unloaded, at will
without danger of injury in any way. The frame and bolting
mechanism are the same as in the old reliable Parker ham-
mer guns, and tne lug bearings are all broad and as care-
fully forged and fitted as long experience, most approved
machinery and vigilant supervision can insure.

A point about the gun that will favorably impress every
one is that tbe barrels can be detached and replaced whether
the gun be cocked or not, tbuB avoiding the necessity of
cocking it before putting the barrels on, and making it un-
necessary to carry a cocking key. Another sound merit lies
in the fact that tbe gun cannot be accidentally discharged
before being fully closed.

Not a few accidents have occurred at the trap because
excited meD, in going to the score would not fully close their
guns, but could, nevertheless, pull them off, and have the
powder blow back into their faces. Taken all in all it i* a
good, sensible, safe, sound, workmanlike and beautiful weap-
on, a credit to American ingenuity and taste.

Notes from Mexico.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— It may not be uninter-
esting to some of your readers to peruse this attempt of a
Dovice to lay before them an account of the trials and tribu-
lations a "Gringo" meets with in his efforts to turn an honest
penny in this land of tbe "cactus, rattle-snake and eagle."
We are sometimes allured away from home and friends by
the glowing accounts of money easy made by playing, mind
against matter with the natives here, and being one of those
I will give you my experience. This State is probably the
most Americanized of uny in this sister Republic, and with
due reBpect to the enterprise transferred htre, I do Dot be-
lieve there is one per cent of the Gringos who come here that
carry back so much lucre as they bring in. However, tbe
glamor that is thrown around life by the traditions of this
country, brings some one almost every day. As in my case,
one Btrikes the border with a slight idea of the language and
customs. At Nogales, the border town lying one-half in
Arizona and half in Mexico, the railroad depot is built on the
line. (There is no Neuwal strip.) The Mexican citizens
have preserved a space of thirty feet between the line ot their
buildings and the territorial line. But the enterprising
American has built his buildings right up to the line so that
when he ib indoors he is in "U cle Sam'e" domain and stepB
out into Mexico. This is convenient for trade in dutiable
goods such as cigars, liquor, etc. One man has his cigar
stand in Mexioo, but the saloon in Arizona. We can get a
first-class Vera Cruz cigar, by tbe box retail, at seven dollars
per hundred, the same kind in San Francisco would cost not
leBS than fifteen dol'ars. Where you.figure gold at 35 per cent
premium, and buy the Mexican cigar for their money, smok-
ing is cheap, I send you a sample {but do not guarantee
that it will not be changed en route). Enron te south from
Nogales, we get in tbe train in Arizona, and when time is up
for the train to leave the Mexican custom officials signify
their readiness to have the train pulled over the line, then
the fun commences by the entrance into the car of a troop
of inspectors and guards, I have crossed several times and
never saw less than seven. They come aloDg and size yon
up, apparently, the tir-tt two are observers aud direct the ^fol-
lowers what to inspect. Paw over your linen, go thrtugh
your blankets, look wise, say "esta bueuo" aud you conclude
yon are passed. Pretty soon another one comes along with
pasterB to attach to the baggage. The man after him has the
gum to stick them with, and on the way back through they
give you a parting glance with a good day greeting. Usually
between every station you have the travelling guard, two or
three in Dumber come through the cars with their eyes about
them, (I presume to see if you are comfortable, as I have
never yet seen them get on to anything,) but you are liable to
have to show up again at any time. If you have anything
dutiable, yon have to have what is termed a gier; a custom
house r oaipt for the propel tr. If you have not got it with you,
(presuming you had 0De). Your stuffis confiscated, and you
may as well let it go for the expense in regaining it is more
than it is worth. The customs and internal revenue duties
are very high, quite a number of imported articles having to
pay 100 per cent and over on invoice valuation. This gov-
ernment is apparently run for the benefit of itself and de-
pendents, including a large number of Custom Houbo brok-
ers, whose charge for the least service is not less than $2.50.
Everything iB taxed in this country but land. If you sell
anything to go out of the municipal district in which you are
you have to get the gier above referred to. The Government
has an export duty on bullion of about eleven per cent., and
an ad-valorem duty on ores, and I think was the originator of
the expression used by a prominent railroad freight agent in
California, i. e , "Charge all the traffic will bear.'' As a con-
sequence in the shipment of bullion, either dust or bricks,
all Borts of devices are resorted to to avoid the duty. As I
am not a bullion producer, I do not know the methods, but
may learn later on. I know of one case where a man en
route from his mill to where he was to get his gier, with a
valuable silver brick, was pounced on and report says that
was the last of his interest in the brick aforesaid. He should
have got hie gier" first. As to a matter of conscience the
average citizen is entirely guiltless. He has none about
his clothes, never had, and does not waDt any. If you want
to avail yourself of his servioes or his property, do not let
him know you are in a hurry, or all the excuses in the calen-
dar will be brought to bear on the proposition that it is
necessary to pay five or ten times what the service is worth
ordinarily. If you want to buy a mule or a horse you
must be looking for cattle, and vice versa, or they will
double up on you sure. The only way to do busineps at a
reasonable rate ia to have a whole lot of time at your dis-
posal and await your opportunity. The°citizens here are in
a chronic condition of "hard-up." It is no unusual thing to
pay 25 to 40 per cent, per month interest on small loans, I
presume the rate is warranted by the not over reliable secur-
ity. For instance if a man gets seed at the planting time, he
pays 100 per cent, when harvest comes. Take wheat for
instance planted in December and harvested in May. If
the debtor through failure of crops or scarcity of money
cannot pay, then be must pay 300 per cent, in corn which
comes in later, and if he fails to liquidate when corn comes
in, then be must double up again and pay in beans. It
does not take long in that way to wind a man up. The
animals used here for work purposes — horses, mules and
asBe8 — are the worst looking lot you can imagine. They
take tbe gad from the word go and browse for a living. Hay
is not made here at all, and corn 1b used as feed. At the
present time there is an abundance of green teed, as during
this winter there has been more rain than any seasoo in the
last 20 years. Native cattle can be bought for six and eight
dollar per bead, but lard iB 27 cents per pound, coffee 37
cents salt 3* cents, and native bacon (good strong stuff) 25
to 40 cents. Prices are not bad for those who can pay, but it
is rough on the lower strata. How they exist, God knows, I
don't. Their necessities are few. I have Been them with
so few clothes on that it made me cold to look at them, when
the thermometer was down to 30 aDd 35 degrees. Yet when
night comes tbey lie down on a dry hide with a single serape
(blanket) about them, and I preBume pray for the coming of
the Bun to warm them. In HermoBilo I have seen them
late at night leaning ngainst the adobe walls, made hot by
the sun during tbe day to keep warm, and byway of nourish-
ment eating sugar cane. It grows plentifully. Ibatkind
of life is not one to create an arduous desire for bodily toil,
and as ior mental they ain't on it, less than 10 per cent, of
the inhabitants can either read or work. This screed might
be continued, but I fear I tire you, so adios.

Dixon Driving Park Programme.

The Directors of the Dixon Driving Park Association
announce in the advertising columns that they will give
a meeting at their track on May 1st and 2d. The sis
races consist of running, trotting and pacing, and as the
purses are very liboral for a minor association, it would
not be surprising if the entry list proved correspondingly
large. As the entries close on "Wednesday, April 10th,
those intending to enter should do so at once.

Remember tl»e entries close to-day, for tlie Pacific
Blood Horse Association, and also for the Fresn o Meeting.

Having sold my interest, one half, in. the Breeder
asd Sportsman to the company under the name of which
it has been published, I desire to make more than a
brief announcement of the fact. There is little necessity
for giving the reasons which induced withdrawal,
though there is such an intimate connection between
readers and editor that it seems proper to make an ex-
planation.

The case is somewhat similar to making a long visit
to warm friends, and cutting it short, long before the
time fixed upon for departure, and which will be readily
seen would entail explanations if not apologies. For
nearly seven years, and with slight intermissions, I have
labored in a field which presented many attractions, not
a few annoyances. Not the first work of that kind, as for
fourteen years I have been connected with the turf jour-
nalism of California, and I trust pardon will be granted
for claiming, egotistical though it may appear, that my
labor has not been valueless, especially in attracting at-
tention to the superiority of soil and climate of the
Pacific Coast for breeding, rearing and training fast and
fine horses. My first predictions of success and which
have been so fully sustained, were received with incred-
ulity at home elicited ridicule abroad, and now that
the "horse world" endorses the old-time vi^ws, that por-
tion of my work may be said to have been accomplished.
Still further back, so far in the not "dim and misty
past" as to make me in reality an "old man" in years,
if not in feelings, the advocacy of the value of thorough-
bred blood in fast trotters has been earnestly followed.
"While not with the pronounced results, that have been a
natural sequence when there was such a basis as the
climatology of this coast to build upon, I feel that the
work of a third of a century has not been lost.

Notwithstanding the obstacles which still encumber
the route there are good reasons for the belief that in
the future those who advocate the claims of "royal
blood" to recognition in the composition of the chief
equine favorite of the American people, will find a
smoother track than the earlier apostles had to travel upon
and that the natural course of events will add an accumu-
lation of proofs which will carry conviction to any mind
in which there is a single crevice left unobstructed by
the cement of prejudice. California has done more
already than any other State to elucidate the problem,
and though Kentucky can point to the most brilliant
stars in the trotting firmament, resulting from the second
cross from a thoroughbred dam, when immature age is
given a place in the calculation, the same remove from a
"strictly thoroughbred" grandam has produced more
wonderful results, and when the first generations are
compared this State is far in the lead. That victory
has been gained by a determination to break the shackles
of unbelief which ignorance and prejudice have forged,
and in giving due attention to natural laws, which com-
pel acquiescence, if anticipated results follow. A fair
trial was given on one breeding farm, carrying theory
into practice, experiments then, established facts now,
lessons which carry conviotion, conjectured signs changed
into plainly marked figures, proof that the world does
turn on its axis, though a thousand inquisitiors attempt
to prove that it is stationary.

No fears now of the ultimate result, the cause battled
for in a thirty year's war is on safe ground, a forlorn
hope once, an army potential in equipments and ready
for effective warfare now.

Though occupying an inferior place in my affections to
that awarded the race which is Burely the highest type
of equine form, I have had another principle to fight for
which is of still greater importance than the best com-
bination of blood in the composition of fast trotters.

That is the Bystem of protecting the feet of horses,
which I have partially introduced, and have persistently
advocated for nearly the whole period of my life in Cali-
fornia. While jibes, sneers and witticisms were freely
expended in meeting the arguments on the subjects here-
tofore alluded to, in the case of "A Natural and Plain
Method of Horse Shoeing," when arguments and ridicule
failed, abuse was called upon as an auxiliary, and the
most despicable methods employed to bring the system
into disrepute. This is not a general charge, though
perfectly applicable in one instance.

Every owner is interested in a more rational treatment
of the feet of horses, and those animals which have to
perform duties that necessitate metal protection to the
horn are affected. Now after further years of thorough
trial, so far as experiments could be conducted with only
a few horses to experiment upon, I have the gratification
to know that the system has made such headway that
there are supporters enough to continue the practice-
Thus another of the controversies I have been so inti-
mately connected with, occupies safe ground, and there
is little fear of ultimate victory.

The first day of July, 1882, the first number of the
Breeder and Sportsman was published, so that the
seven years of apprenticeship will come to an end in a
short time. Those who are aware of the tribulations
attending the launching of a new craft on the sea of
journalism, will appreciate the satisfaction I feel that
the long voyage has ended in reaching a safe port.
While there was any doubt of ultimate success, there was
a determination to stick to the colors, but now that the
vessel is so handsomely equipped and well appointed
throughout, the old pilot may be permitted to sic on a
headland and admire the trim craft perpared to meet
any storm which may arise.

There is a pleasure in "horse" journalism to an en-
thusiast in equine matters, though of all kindred pur-
suits it is the most trying. Although a very large pro-
portion of breeders are men of intelligence and entertain
broad views there are a few of so jealous a disposition, of
such carping proclivities, fault finding, that there is no
comfort or satisfaction in having anything to do with
them.

That this class will gradually overcome this "faulty
action," there is little doubt, and then the pleasure of
writing of horses will far exceed the perplexities.

The Dam of Homestakes.

In all boobs of authority one can find Homestake, 2I161,
by Whippleton, dam untraced. Mr. F. W. Loeber has
received from D. S. Frasier, of Petaluma, (who formerly
owned Whippleton) the following letter, which speaks for
itself:

Petaluma, March 24, 1889.

F. W. Loeber, Esq.

Dear Sir: Yours of the 19th in regard to the breeding of
Homestake received. Homestake was sired by Whippleton,
dam a brown mare, bred by Mr. E. Eaton, theu of Petaluma,
now of San Francisco. The mare was sired by Ben Franklin,
a eon of imp. Lawyer; g d a large brown mare, whose breed-
ing was unknown. The mare had three foals by Whippleton,
while at my place, the first a brown colt foaled March 7, 1879;
the second a black filly foaled April 30, 1880, which died; the
third a brown colt called Homestake, foaled April 17, 1S81.
I shipped the mare and colt with some others that John
Mackey bought for Geo. Hearst, to Mr. Hearst's San Luis
Obispo Ranch. Very truly yours,

D. S. Fraiser.

The Breeder's Association.

The following excellent report of the meeting of the trottiDg
horse breeders is taken from the Chronicle and as it covers
all the salient points is taken in its entirety.

Parlor A of the Palace Hotel was thronged last evening
with persons interested in the breeding of trotting horses.
The meeting was called to order by Wilfred Page, and Ariel
Lathrop waB elected temporary president.

Mr. Lathrop explained that the object of the meeting was
to form the nucleus of a trotting-horse breeders' association
in California.

J. C. Simpson advocated immediate organization, and pro-
posed J. H. White as president.

Some of i hose present thought that the election of a presi-
dent was too premature. They considered the meet-
ing should be of an informal character, and that at the most
a committee should be appointed to select and suggest the
names of permanent officers,

G. W. Hancock moved as an amendment to Mr. Simpson's
motion that a Board of Directors be first selected and be em-
powered to elect their president. The association, he argued,
should be confined to genuine breeders.

L. V. Sbippee thought organizatiou should be effected
with deliberation in order to make the movement a success.
There were from 100 to 150 breeders on the coast who might
be induoed to join if the association were started right. The
better plan would be to have a committee select names for
permanent officers and report in two week's time, and in the
meantime fix the amount of initiation fee and allow no one
to have a voice in the arrangements who did not pi»y.

Mr. Simpson said it appeared to him that an effort would
be made to form a olique in the association so that a few
leading breeders might be benefitted.

Mr. Shippee said such an idea was erroneous. A breeder
with only a couple of horses had bb potent a voice as one
owning hundreds. ,.

The amendment was lost on a show of hands, and Mr.
White was elected President in accordance with Simpson's
motion. Captain N. T. Smith was elected Treasurer, and
Wilfred Page Secretary.

The following then signed the roll-call of the new associa-
tion: A. L. Bancroft, L. U. Shippee, O. A. Hickok, J. H.
White, E. Topham, A. Weske, Wilfred Page, Fred VV. Loeber,
E. P. Heald, Thomas Bonuer, J. C. Riordon, W\ Corbitt, M.
W. Hioks, G. W. Hancock, T. C. Snider, Wilber F. Smith,
A. E. ClawBon, J. J. Evans, H. J. Palmer, J. A. Goldsmith,
G. ValensiD, Leland Stanford. Ariel Lathrop. Samuel Gamble,
S. N. Straube. D. McCarty, H. W. Orabb, W. S. Hobart, E.
J. Miller Jr., N. T. Smith, J. C. Simpson, A. T. Hatch. *

The Chair appointed tbe following committees whn will
report at the next meetiog to be held April 19ih: Rules and
By-laws — Messrs. Shippee, Hancock, Gamble, Page and
Smith. Committee to nominate directors — Messrs. Shippee,
Lathrop and Simpson.

It was explained that the objects of the association w«re to

further in every way the best interests of trotting horse
breeding in California. The initiation fee was fixed at §25.

Mr. Page sends ns an advertisement about the nest meet-
ing, which will take place on the 19th inst., but as the forms
with advertisements had gone to press it will have to be left
ovsr until next week. However, we wish to impress upon
our readers the importance of every breeder on the Pacific
Coast joining the organization. You cannot afford to let
this opportunity slip of joining a body that is working for
yonr interests. Send in your name at once to Wilfr.d Page,
Esq., Penu's Grove, Sonoma County, or to this office, when
it will be forwarded to the Secretary.

W C. Chisholm, Windsor.

I dropped yon a postal card last week seeking a little
information, and was surprised at not getting an answer in
Saturday's paper. Please give me the breeding of the horse
called Gen. Taylor, and also his record, if any?

Answer. — We received no postal card such as you say was
sent. Gen. Taylor, gr h, foaled 1847, got by the Morse
horse, dam Flora, not traced. Brought to California in 1854,
where he trotted 30 miles against time, in harness, and won
in 1 hr. 47 min. 59 seconds. He also beat New York 10
miles, to wagon, in 29:4U. His best mile record in harness
iB 2:48; to saddle, 2:44.

from its coronary attachment— either cut it out on a V unape
or clasp it, and apply a mild blister to the coronet. Put on a
three-quarter shoe. Thos. Bowhiix, M.R.C.V.S.

An Iron Wind Mill.

An innovation upon the time honored windmills of Don
Quixote, and the not less extraordinary machines of like
motive power whioh the forefathers used, is the apparently
slight, but really strong and serviceable Iron Turbine wind-
mill advertised elsewhere in this paper by Messrs. P. P.
Mast & Co., 31 Market street, city. The mill is the most
powerful, durable, cheap and effective combination for raising
water that is known. Its working parts are on broad bear-
ings, nicely fitted and practically everlasting The frame is
of ample strength, and the mill itself is readily moved, very
powerful and easily managed. In windmills and irrigating
canals lies the future of an empire in the great central valley
of California, and the Iron Tiubine will certainly become
popular.

At Sin Jose. The property of E. B. Moran.

Whisky Jane.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Seeing by all the sport-
ing papers that they give the dam of "Whisky Jane" as by
"Illinois Medoc" the dam of "Sam Purdy," I had intended
for some time to give a little of the history of "Whisky
Jane" and what I know about her, as it might be of some in-
terest to your readers. She was bred in this (Greene) County
and there never was a horse that stood in Greene County by
the name of Illinois Medoc, as far back as fifty or sixty
years. Now Whisky Jane was bred by a man by the name
of Jackson, who has been dead several years, who sold her to
James Amos, of this county, who took her to California, and
sold her to William Morehead, of Sacramento, Cal. Mr.
Jackson bred two mares. One to a pacing horse called Pete
Whetstone. Pete Whetstone belonged to John Williams, of
St. Louis, whom you were acquainted with. The other mare
was bred to Champion Blackhawk, and was said to be by
Hill's Black Hawk. Those mares produced two fillies and
Whisky Jane was one of those tillies, but by which horse we
never could find out. She looked from her size and appear-
ance, liae she might have been by Champion Blackhawk, but
there is nothing certain about which horse she was by. Now
I suppose it would not be out of place to inform you how
Jane, came by her name. Mr. Morehead kept a stable in
Sacramento; he was an odd kind of a man and be kept the
mare dowo town at his stable. He used to Bend the mare up.
to the track at Saoraoiento by a man of the name of Jim. I
do not just now remember Jim's surname. He came to the
trick to exercise her, and the boys there, in 1861, got very
curious to know whether the "little mare" could trot any or
not and if I am not mistaken Mr. John Mackey waB at the
track at the time, John B. Craft, a trainer (Yankee Smith) and
myself. We came to the conclusion to rind out whether she
conld trot any or not and as Jim liked hie dram in the morn-
ing when he came to the track and the balance of us was not
much behind him, our plan was for first one to treat and
*oen another, until Jim began to feel pretty good, and theu
we made a bet among ourselves that she could not trot in
3:10; she made it in about (as well as 1 can remembei) in
2:58, but before she got through she made another mile in
2:46. A butcher. William Armstrong, happened in on the
*rack and saw what was going on, drove down town and told
ir. Morehead and he immediately drove up and found the
mare standing outside. He came in and found the boys
taking another drink on the performance of Jane. He sin-
gled'out Jim and gave him a kick remarking "my mare
Jane trotting for whisky." Theu and there she wbb named

Whisky Jane, and went by that name from that out. I had
some sale horses that I took to San Francisco to sell aud Mr.
Morehead Wiined me to take his mare and sell her also, but
I refused, and when I got there stopped at George Bank's
stable on Market St., where I madetheacquaintance, through
George Bank, of Mr. Erwin Davis, to whom I sold a little
roan horse to go to the pole with a horse called Pat Morgan,
and after trying them they did not drive well together, bo I
told him about Whisky Jane. He studied about it for a day
or two, and finally wanted me to go back and get the mare
for him. I instead, wrote to Mr. Moorehed. He brought
her down and we sold her to Mr. Davis, to drive with Pat
Morgan. The price was $600. As near as I can recollect
now, this is my knowledge of Whisky Jane, and I expect
there are many in California who would remember this cir-
cumstance when reminded of it. I think Mr. Frank Malone
would remember it. This is a little old, but never the less it
is true. C* Doyle.

Carrollton, Illinois, March 24, 1S89.

Points About Horses.

A horseman says there are certain marked points in a good
horse. You can see breadth arjd fullness between the ears
aud eyes. You couldn't hire that mare to act mean or hurl
anybody. The eye should be full, aud hazel is a good color.
I like a small, thin ear, and want a horse to throw his ears
well forward. Look out for the brute that wants to listen to
all the conversation going on behind him. The horse that
turns back his ears till they almost meet at the points, take
my word fcr it, is Bure to do something wrong. See that
straight, elegant face. A horse with a dashing face is cow-
ardly, and a cowardly horse is usually vicious. Then I like
a square muzzle, with large nostrils, to let in plenty of air to
the lnngs. F r the under side of the head, a good horse
should be well cut under the jowl, with jiw bones broad and
wide apart under the throttle.

"So much for the head," he continued.

'The next thing is the build of the animal Never buy a
long legged, stilty horse. Let him have a short, straight
back an I a straight rump, and you've got a gentlem-in's
horse. The withers should be high and the shoulders well
set back and broad; but don't get them too deep in the chest.
The fore leg should be short. Give me a pretty straight hind
lee, with the hock low down, short pastern joints, and a
round mulish foot. There are all kinds of horses, but the
horse that has these points is almost sure to be sightly, grace-
ful, good-natured and serviceable.

A Well Told Story.

In this world all things must change, and the spell of
weather which has rendered Kentucky the habitation of blue
and discontented humanity has vanished like a summer
cloud, and the suu once more smiles upon the face of the
earth. "We eagerly embrnce the first seasonable opportunity
to resume ocr visits to the various stud farms which form
the baBis of the material prosperity of this region. Early
thiB morning J. W. Knox called for us, aud we drove out
behind Monarch Rule, 2:24£, to see the renowned Anteeo.
Mr. Knox has located at the Metcalf Farm, and Anteeo will
be the stud companion of Artillery, 2;2U. Our acquaintance
with Mr. Knox dates back almost to our first recollection of
trotting-horses, and was formed in a pecnliar manner. There
waB to be a trotting meeting at Grand Rapids,. Mich., where
we then resided. A friend of ourBhad written from Pittsburg
spying that a yellow stallion would Bppear at that meeting,
that he was unknown, could trot in 2:25, and was called
Nutwood. Our informant also said be was owned by a
shrewd gentleman who would not show him up until he was
ready to win, but advised us to say nothing aud watch the
indicator. On Monday morning of the race week we went
to the track to see the horses moved, and quietly watched
the advent of Nutwood. We saw on the track a large cheBt-
nut stallion, jogging sleepily around the track, never moving
faster than a 3:00 gait, and then disappearing from the track.
No one was timing him, and no one seemed to notice him.
That night Frank Shaw, the old-time pool-seller, mounted
the rostrum and preceded to sell the horses down. Little
Sam, a local favorite, owned and driven by B. C. Holly, was
the favorite, and the horses were sold out briskly until at
the end of the list he oalled Nutwood. No one seemed to
know him, but we heard a still, small voice say two dollars.
There was no dispute or competition, and Nutwood was sold
for two dollars. The same process was repeated with the
Bame result, and we looked to see what manner of man was
the purchaser, and discovered a quiet, modest man of medium
size, standing partially concealed b* a large pillar. Once
again the pool was sold, and when Nutwood was called the
aame bid was made. Mr. Knox Baid two dollars, and we
quietly held up three fingers. This seemed to eurprise Shaw
but he cried the bid and Mr. Knox said four, while we replied
by holding up five fingers, and as there was no further corn-
petion we became the kaprjy possessor of a Nutwood pool*
Thia process was repeated three times, and we quietly changed
our position until we Btood nest to Mr. Knox. When the
third pool was sold tons he said: "I see you are buying
Nutwood pools. What do you know about him?" We re-
plied that we knew he was well bred, and could trot in 2:25.
The term well bred and our mention of his speed seemed to
astonish him, aud he said, "How much of it do you want?"
We replied: "Not much, and certainly do not wish to inter-
fere with an owner." Ha Baid, "Thank you; tell me how
many you want and I will get them for you cheaper than if
we bid against each other. We thanked him. handed bini
our card and said: ''When you are through, if you will get
us four or five we will esteem it a favor." Well, the race
was trotted, Splan waB in it and Borne other noted drivers,
and Little Sam after winning two beatfl, was a great favorite.
In the first two heats Nutwood was nowhere, but in the
third, when he passed under the wire first in a jog, there
was astonishment in the grand stand and consternation in
the camp of the betting fraternity. Nutwood won with ease,
and in the evening Mr. Knox remarked to us: "I have a
pretty good horse; I did not wish to uncover him here, but
the boys left me out and I had to win it." It was in this
race Nutwood first beat 2:30. It is a little singular that in
that race Nutwood should have defeated Mr. Holly, the man
who, in 188S, owned and trotted his best son to a fast record,
made $20,000 out of his trotting qualities, and sold him for
$32,000 to Robert Steel of Philadelphia. Nutwood was theu
unknown, but to day he stands at a fee of $500 the season,
and is the sire of twenty-five performers with records from
2:15 to 2:30. Mr. Knox practically bred Nutwood, as at a
visit to Woodburn he said to Mr. Broadhead: "If you will
breed that gray mare to Belmont I will give you $500 for the
foal at weaning time." The gray mare was Miss Russell,
now the dam of Maud S., 2;08$, and Nutwood was the foal.

DESCRIPTION.

JUDGE McKINSTRY is a bright bay with black

Eoints, 15Jf hands in height, of a conformation corn-
ining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for their gameness and neetoess. Speakin: of
JUDGE McKINSTRY. Matt storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He
was started in several races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well kn-wn to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us to
name both sires.

Terms: $75 payable when the mare Is moved from
ranch, or, 3100, with the usual privilege. Good pastur-
age, ii per month. Mares at owners risk. All com-

Prince Imperial.

DESCRiPTtoN.-PRTNCE IMPERIAL is a block
horse, 15-3 hands high: weighs 1,150 ponnds.and iB a
model of beauty, action and power.

PEDieREE.— Bired by Black Prince, he bv Dictntor,
o<vn brother to Dexter, dam Daisy by Withe rell Mes-
senger, he by Winthrop Messenger, "son of imp . Mes-
senger.

Mr. Peter Brandow's statement in regard to Prince
Imperial : "I met A. Weske in the Park in 1887 driving
the above horse, hoth strangers to me. I was* driving
a good nurse, but the above horse, bitched to a phaeton,
beat me easily. I followed him to find out what horse
tt was, and he finally allowed me to hPch him to a
sulky, which I did, and drove him easily in 2:32)4 . I
think bim o'.e amongst the best horses in California,
and firmly believe that in six months I can drive hlra
in 220." Peter Brando w.

Trainer of trotters for 25 years.

In 1R81 , while visiting Salt Lake City, I saw the colt
Prince Imperial, and bought him for my own use .and
have use i him for family purposes ever since. In
offering him for public service laBt vear, not knowing
anythln ! about horses' pedigrees I "made a mistake In
his. I wrote to the owner of the mare in i-alt Lake.
Dr. S. B. Young, aod he says she was bv Henry Clay,
brought from Kentucky bv him.

PERFORMANCES.

obtaining a record of 2:19, though he was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
ond heat of which was made in 2:31 J^, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old,
and had it not been foraslight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he would have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20K, and frequently
trotted quarters in from 32 j^ to 31 seconds.
DESCRIPTION.

He is nearlv if not quite sixteen hands high, and of
powerful build throughout. His color is a glossy black,
with both fore-feet white and a touch of white on his
off hind quarters. His disposition is all that could be
desired, and his act'o-' sunerb.

Prince of Norfolk,

Will Make the Season of 1889, from Feb.
lotti to JfuJy 1st, at Sacramento.

PEDIGREE.

PRINCE OF NORFOLK, chc, foaled 1881, by Nor.
folk: 1st dam Marion by Malcolm; 2nd dam Maggie
Mitchell by imp. Yorkshire; third dam Charmer by
imp. (ilencoe; -ifhdam Betsy M alone by Stockhjlder;
fith dam by Potomac; 6th dam by im". Diomed; 7th
dam by Pegasus, etc. Norfolk, the unbeaten son of
Lexington, is tha Bire of Winters, Twilight, Connor,
Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood, Duchess of N orfolk,
Lou Speneer.tlie Great Emperor of Norfolk, ani many
others. Marion's sire, Malcolm, was one of the first
horses to bring Bonnie Scotl.mu into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the most celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy Malone. Tlie combined sp^ed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who is a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk.

The blood lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
is fair to assume that th** get of this stallion will show
equally well with those of past generations.

TERMS, 350 for the season. We oiler first class pas-
turtge on our own ranch, at $1 per month, and the
best of care will be taken of mares sent to ub. but no
respontnbility can be incurred. For further paiticu-

Mr. S. E. Larabje of Montana, He is undoubtedly
one of the handsomest stallions in the country, is a
dark chestnut, about 1G hands in height, of frea.eaey
carriage, well gaited, perfectly developed and superb
in general appearance. In d Bpoaition he is all that
could be desired. He h:ia been named Frank Morgau
in honor of the family from which ae descends.
PEDIGREE.

FRANK MORGAN was sired by an unnamed son of
Morgan General, Jr., by Morgan General, by Billy
Root, by Sherman, by J"8tir Morgan. liam by
Romeo, by Green Mountain Morgan 2nd, by Gif-
fonl'B Morgan, by Woodbury Morgan, by Justin.

FHANK MORGAN will make the season of 1889 at
the Oakland Race Track, serving a limited number
of mares. He is a sure and reliable ioal getter, and
the uniform beauty and style of his colts have shown
him to be a producer of the finest cKss of road and
carriage horses that have ever been seen in this coun-
try.

T£RMS.-?10 FOR THE SEASON.

Gcod pasturage furnished at five dollars per month.
The best care will be taken of all mares, but no risks
for accidents or escapes. For further particulars,

Continued.

Carious and True Observations abont the "Working of the
Bitt Alone, which being not Truly Considered, no Man
can Work with the Bitt as he Ought to do.

But to Work only with the Reins of the Bridle, which
Work upon the Bitt, is another Business; for now I consider
what the Bitt is, which is another Engine, that "Works upon
the Horse's Barrs, and the Curb; and the two Branches are
like Leavers to Work on those two Places: as the Reins pull
the Cheeks, either the inward Cheek or the outward Cheek;
The Bans, and tfie place of the Curb, is much Lower than
his Nose, on which the Cavezone "Works; and the Rings
where the Reins of the Bridle are fastned, at the Ends of the
Cheeks, are much Lower than the Barrs, or the Curb; but as
the Cheeks are pull'd by the Reins of the Bridle, so doth the
Bitt Work upon the Barrs, or the Curb, accordingly.

As for Example: On the Right Hand, the Reins separated
in both your Hands, if you pull the inward Rein from his
Neck on the inside, then yon pull the Inward Cheek into the
Turn, end then the Mouth of the Bitt goes Out, and Presses
the Horse on his Barrs, without the Turn; and makes the
Horse Look Out of the Turn, and Presses the Curb on the
Outside, and must of Necessity do so; for when the Cheeks
are pulled In, the Mouth of the Bitt must go out: For of

what Side foever the Cbcefa are pulled, the
Mouth of the Bitt goes ftill contrary to the
Cheeky and tnuft do (6 in all Reafbn ; the Bitt be-
ing an Inftrument that is Made fo to do, and it can-
not be Otherwife.

The lame Operation it hath for the Left Hand :
if you pull the Inward Rein from his Necl^ the
Mouth goes ftill Contrary to the Cbeefa the
Cbeef^ goes Inward, and the Mouth goes Outward,
and the HoHes Leggs are Preft on the Infide of
the Turn j therefore in Terra a Terra, the Rsins
Separated in both my Hands, I pull the Inward
Rein beyond his Necf{, my Knuckles towards his
Nec\, which pulls the Inward Cbee\xo me, and
then the Mouth goes Contrary ; that is, The Chee\
is put from the Turn, and the Month bends in-
to the Turn, and the Horie Looks into the Turn
as he fhould do, and the Horfes Leggs preft on
the Outiide of the Turn, on the Left Hand: The
Inward Rein pull'd thus, hath the fame Opera-
tion ; your Hand being on the Outfide of his
Necf^, and your Knuctyes towards his Nec\,
pulls the Inward Cbeef^ from the Turn, and the

Mouth

Month of the Bit! goes into the Turn, alwayes Contrary, and
cannot be Otherwise; it Presses the Horde on the Inside of
the Barrs, and on the Inside of the Curb, and so Looks into
the Turn; and his Leggs are Prest on the Outside of the
Turn, which is Proper for Terra a Terra. And thus Work-
ing with the Bitt, Produces many Excellent things, for Terra
a Terra, as I have particularly set down afore.

OF THE
Working with the Outward Rein of the Bridle.
Now let us Consider the Working with the Outward Rein
of the Bridle, "What Operation that hath on the Barrs, Curb,
and CheekB; Which Cheeks Governs Barrs and Curb: As for
Example; Going on the Right Hand, I turn my Hand on the
Inside of his Neck, this pulls the Outward Rein; pulling the
Outward Rein, pulls the Outward Cheek to me; then of
Necessity it must pnt the Mouth of the Bitt from me, and
Presses the Horse on the Outside of the Barrs, which is on
the Outside of the Turn, and so presses him on the Out-side
of the Curb, and so the Horses must Look on the Outside of
the Turn; and all this is, Because the Cheeks are pull'd to
you on the Outside; therefore the Mouth of the Bitt must go
From you; Btili Contrary, and Dever Fails, nor Cannot: For,
it is impossible it should work Otherwise; but it is True,
That it Supples, and brings in his Shoulders. The Reason
is this, The Horse's Leggs are Prest on the Inside of the
Turn, and then he must needs bring in his Shoulders,
though he is Prest to Look Out of the Turn. The same
thing is for the Left Hand, and the same Reasons for every
Thing, working with the Outward Rein of the Bridle. Thus
thy Bitt and Reins are truly Anatomized, wbich never was
before: The Outward Rein doth well for the Piroite, end so
for Demy-Voltoesupon Passadoes.

OF THE

The Working the Bitt when the Horse goes Straight
Forward.
When the Horse goeB straight Forward, either Trotting,

Galloping, or upon Corvets, if you Hold your Hand Low, it
Presses more upon the Barrs, than the Curb, because the
Cheeks of the Bitt are not pull'd bo much to you, or to the
Neck of the Horse; and therefore the Curb is not Straightned
so much, and so the Horse is at more Liberty, and his Head
a little Higher: But when you hold your Bridie-Hand a
little Higher, and pull it up to you, then the Curb works
more, and pulls Down the Horde's Head; the Reason is
plain; for when you pull the Cheeks Hard, and Up, then you
pull the Mouth of the Bitt Down; and so the Horse's Head,
because it works hard on the Curb: For it is most True,
That when the Cheeks of the Bitt are pull'd Dp, the Mouth
goes Down, and Straightens the Curb, the Hand being High;
and when the Cheeks are not pull'd Hard, then the Curb is
Slackt, and the Horse's Head at more Liberty; for the pres-
sure of the Barrs and Curb, Depends upon the Cheeks; for
when the Cheeks goe Up, the Month of the Bitt goes Down;
and when the Cheeks of the Bitt goe Down, the Mouth of
the Bitt goes Up. This is the Operation, and the Effects, of
the Bitt.

Of Another
Operation of the Bitt.

I must Tell you, That the Cheeks lie Slope to you, and
the Reins more Slope, before they come to yoar Hand; so
the Bitt cannot Press very much on the Horse, being so far
from the Perpendicular-Line: and as the Cheeks are pull'd
Up, the Mouth goes Down; and as the Cheeks goe Down, the
Mouth goes Up; alwayes Contrary.

The Perpendicular-Line, is, "When jou Thrust your Hand
Forward just Perpendicular, to the End of the Cheeks, and
so pall it up Hard, and it Works estreamly apon the Curb,
which is to pull bis Head Down. This I never Use; but
thought fit to Tell you what it is, and the Effects of it.

OF THE
Operation of the two Reins Separated in both
Hands.
I Told you, the Inward Rein prest the Horse on the Out-
side of the Turn, and made him Look into the Turn. And
I told you, the Outward Rein prest the Horse on the Inside
of the Turn, and made him Look out of the Turn; and for
Passager, he must be prest on the Inside, and therefore to be
Help't with the Outward Rein: But to make him Look into
the Turn, I Help with the Inward Rein too; So I Help with
both Reins in Passager: the Inward Rein to make him Look
into the Turn, and the Outward Rein to bring in his Outward
Shoulder, and to Press him on the Inside, for many Reaaons
that I have already exprest.

TO
"Work with the Bridle in the Left Hand Only.
Tour little ringer Separating the Reins, the Left Rein lies
under the Little Finger, and the Right Rein lies above the
Little Finger; bo that for the Left Hand, the Hand on the
Contrary side of his Neck, the Knuckles towards his Neck,

A Visit to the Guenoc Stock Farm.

After many disappointments we at last succeeded in paying
a visit to Mr. Frederic Gebhard's Guenoc Stud Ranch. The
road to the ranch from Middletown is through the most
picturesque valleys and mountain passes. The bright color-
ing of spring flowers gives the landscape a most beautiful and
pleasing effect.

Arriving at the ranch we met Dr. Aby, the manager, and
started for the stables at once. We went prepared to see
some handsome horses, but words fail me to properly portray
our surprise when imp. Greenback was led out of his stall.
A more powerful horse we have seldom seen; of a rich dark
brown color, and stands 16i hands high. As he walks he
gives one the idea that the earth is to common for him;
etanding on the soundest of feet and legs that would make a
sculptor marvel, flat and broad, every turn denoting Btreugth
and aotivity. His muscleB are simply perfection, standing
out in bold relief, and at the same time put on, with an even*
nesB that is unapproachable, every movement displaying the
most remarkable development of muscular power. Bib
shoulders are broad and well put on; neck Btrongand arched,
and attached to it is one of the most intelligent of heads;
broad between the eyes, -with slightly Roman noBe; eyes of
the best. There is hardly room on hia back for an ordinary
ten-pound saddle. I cannot help but think this horse is
bound to play an important part in the future of California
thoroughbreds.

St. Savior, the full brother to the mighty Eola (who was
lost in the Shohola Glen wreck last summer) was led out,
and as this royally bred and most kingly race-horse walked
out by us, we could not help raising our hats as to some great
and mighty being. He is nearly 17 hands high, and weighs
close to 1,300 pounds. A most glorious bay, with star and
stripe on nose; both hind feet white. As the sun shone on
his velvet ooated skin, we were compelled to acknowledge
taat we had never seen a more beautiful, powerful or grander
looking thoroughbred. His right fore leg still shows the
rupture caused in the mighty struggle with Rataplan in the
Emporium of 1884, which was the only time he was beaten
in his racing career.

The Saint is a Leamington all over, very evenly put
tigether, though some might think him a bit leggy, and yet
when his great length of barrel is taken into consideration,
his proportions are most even. We Bhall have to leave a more
minute description of this horse to a more fluent and stronger
pen than we possess, for the lofty grandeur of the horse
beggars description.

"How have the California public or rather breeder?, treated
you in regard to patronage," we asked Dr. Aby.

"Very well, far beyond my expectations," was the reply.
"It was so late when I got the horses to the ranch, (Feb.
4th,) that I really did not expect more than four or five
mares, and those I had been promised for the Saint before
I went East in December for him. But seeing the necessity
for another good horse, I had a look at every stallion for
sale, with the view of replacing the lost Eole. Imp. Green-
back so far outclassed all the others that I at once closed for
him, and while I do not claim that he is the best horse in the
world, I think with judicious handling and some good mares,
he will not be a disgrace to the ranch, nor to California. He
has sired many good horses on the other side, was a race
horse himself, with a very high turn of speed, and with his
faultless individuality I cannot but be very proud of him,
and only ask a fair Bhow to prove my convictions are right."

"How do you like Lake Co. for breeding?" was our next
question to tbe Dr.

"Well, as it is now, it is rather inconvenient to get mares
to the ranch, but when once here, they seem to take on a
pound of flesh a day, and as for climate it can not be ex-
celled."

"Does it not get very hot?"

"Oh, yes, 100 degrees sometimes, but it gets hotter all
over the State. We are right under the mountain, as you
see, and when the thermometer begins to raise the mares
and foals can go under the large oaks or up the canyon and
have plenty of nice, cool water, with nothing to molest them
until the cool of the evening, when they go back to the buc-
culent grass on the meadows."

"It must keep you busy looking after the business, does
it not?"

■ "Well, rather, though as you see I do not lose any weight.
(Lake Co. is a poor place to loose weight.) There was no
fencing on the ranch. The roads have been miserable all
winter, and the county is too stingy to fix them. So I have
had great difficulty in getting lumber. I am UBing redwood
posts and have to haul them twenty miles, but I think it
will pay, as the fence is good for fifteen years. I have enough
paddocks for our present use, but will continue to improve
as soon as I get through harvest."

"How many mares have you so far, Drg"

"Of our own, do you mean?"

"Yes."

"Nine."

"How many visitors to the Harem?"

"Twenty-eighth, and sever more engaged."

"How many mares do you give each horse?"

"Twenty mares each are all I will allow them to
serve, as it was bo late when they got here. We did not
have time to season them properly."

"Then you think a stallion needs preparations."

"Just as much as a horse to run, though of a different
kind. He does not want to be drawn bo fine, but he Bhould
not be beefy by any means. A horse, aa well as a man.
must take an interest in what he is doing, to do it well."

"Do you intend to increase your stud?"

"Yes, we shall always take a good mare at a reasonable
price, but I do not believe in a mare just because she has a
long pedigree. I want some of the families that produce
race horses."

"You think that Mr. Gebhard has entered the breeders'
arena to Btay?"

"He will stay, and at any distance. Had we not had the
misfortune to lose Eole, and got nearly killed myself, the ranch
would have been far more advanced that it is, but with my
Bmall army I hope to accomplish a good deal before 1 have
to stop for harvest. Our fences are as substantial as the
rockwalls of Kentucky, and it will not be long before I hope
tc have established the Guenoo Stud, and have made it to
California, what Woodburn is to Kentucky— the first in it's
State."

"Do you intend to train and run your colts?"

"I cannot say yet. But will patronize home institutions
;f we do."

"Will you build a track?"

"Yes; just as soon as the meadow is dry enough to plow
will commence on it. As you see, this Tot in front of the
house will make a beautiful course, and I can use the porch
for a grand Btand."

"Ho / about water for aummcr use?"

"I have water piped to the dwelling from a fine spring and
there is another spring just up the mountain which can be
utilized. The water can be brought from the lake if neces-
sary, besideB I have every indication that we can get artesian
water. The Tanch could not have been in a worse condition.
There is so much to be done, I hardly know where to com-
mence. I hope to show you a very different looking farm in
a twelfth month from now."

The stallions and mares are in the pink of condition. The
pastures are very fine, as the alliliree and native meadow
grasses are nearly knee high. The Doctor says he will make
preparation for fifty mares for 1890. I think he will have
applications for more than fifty, as there are too many good
mares in the state to allow such grand horses to get off with
bo Bmall a number.

Mr. Gebhard deserves success, for it took considerable
nerve to locate in such an unknown county as Lake, and
besides, his selections of blood to lay the foundation of a
breeding farm could not be improved upon. With sons of
Eolua and War Song, Dollar and Music, he has the best blood
of America and old England. How can such breeding be a
failure? We shook handB and bade the Doctor good-bye,
feeling that the Guenoc Stud Farm is one of the nicest places
to Bpend a day in California. "Pilgkim."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman : — The breeding of supe-
rior horses is no longer an experiment in California. The
sales in New York, in Kentucky, and elsewhere in the East
duriDg the past year and within a few weeks have amply
attested the high appreciation in which turfmen hold Cali-
fornia bred horses, and the performances and records of
many of the favorite strains from California breeding farms,
fully warrant the opinion which is entertained of them. It
is not too much to Bay that among the foremost iD the pur-
suits and delights of the turf the belief is strong that to Cali-
fornia will come the glory of lowering the recoid; of placing
Maud S. similarly as her wonderful performance has placed
Dexter; and if the trotter shall ever make the mile in two
minutes, it will be a California bred horse that will so astonnd
the sporting world.

The development of the horse for speed in California has
been most gratifying and is almost marvelous. From the
Hudspeth colt which won against the Pico horse early in
1850, to the Emperor of Norfolk, is a stride akin to that
Peytona measured in contrast with the stop of a Clydesdale,
and the championship of the track in the days of Tom Bat-
telle's New York and Pat Hunt's Lady Mac a trifle under
three minutes was their best compared with Electioneer and
Stamboul, the Wilkeses and Bentons, and others of this
day, rank as the four minute roadsters ranked with such
"flyers" of that period as Lady Suffolk, Oneida Chief, Confi-
dence and Americus. Even the roadsters now find fair
reckoning in the 2:40 class, and the trotter not inside the
2:20 class is accounted slow.

This gratifying result has beer wrought by care, judgment
and skill, through noble pride, judicious selection, unstinted
expenditure toward securing thorough blood, and wise dis-
crimination in choosing localities most favorable to the pur-
pose. But beyond all these human agencies exist the
unparalleled conditions of soil and climate which endow
California, and will maintain the State first in rank in the
breeding of horses for speed and endurance.

The Bagacions and beneficial examples of Winters and
Coombs, splendidly improved upon by Stanford and Haggin,
Rose, Corbett and Baldwin, have already been followed by
other breeders all over the CoaBt, and put to Buch advantage
by patrons of the turf in practical measure, that to front
place, have oome the lines of the Simpson Antes — Anteeo,
Antevolo and more in the 2:20 class; H?mbletonians, Mam-
brinos, Clays, Buttons, McClellans, Morgans, Nutwoods,
Bentons, Wilkeses, Patchens, Sultans, and others in the
same class, and scores of different blood, noted lines and
prideful record.

Throughout the State, and indeed everywhere on the Coast
greater pride and increased attention are the tokens of the
better intelligence developed in the breeding of superior
horses. There is money in it, and with this as an encourage-
ment, besides the pleasure and ambition of ownership, greater
and more extended impetus is given to the breeding of
thoroughbreds and the better strains and grades. From the
famous breeding farms of Palo Alto, Rancho del Paso, Rose-
mead, Santa Anita, San Mateo, Winters', and the less noted,
selections are made for stocking private farms in nearly
every county of the State, and as years pass these develop
into prominence agreeably as they produce. Locality, as to
conditions of soil and and climate, will unquestionably have
muoh to do with results. But individual pride, nature and
purpose is the moving, actuating quality.

Sonoma County was regarded in the early years of the
State the most favored portion for agricultural and stock
breeding pursuits, at least as the full equal of Santa Clara,
and much superior to Los Angeles. It was in Sonoma that
the Hudspeth colt, the winner of the first big race, for $10,-
000 in the State, was bred from Kentucky stock, and
the Pico horse, which lost the race wan the fastest of the
native California breed, bred in Lob Angeles. Of late years
Scnoma had to her boast McClellan and Button and some of
the Belmont and Patchen stock, but until the purchase of
Anteeo, some even of the better breeders and turfmen could
not be brought to the appreciation that 'there is big money in
it." Many thought the purchasers of Anteeo at $10,000,
had parted with their judgment as well as their money. His
record since of 2: 16 J, but more than his turf performances,
his very profitable use in the stud, and last, his sale in Ken-
tucky for $25,000, wrought the marked change in opinion
whjch has its demonstration in the high prices at which
Anteeo colts are eagerly sought by men who know a fine colt
when they see one; and farther, in the impetus to go into
breeding of valuable horses winch is observable in different
portions of the oounty.

Among these stock-breeding farms is the Rose Dale Farm,
less than a mile from the beautiful city of Santa Rosa, a de-
lightful drive from the railroad stations of the Southern
Pacific on the Donahue line. The farm itself is a handsome
"bunch" of meadows and hill lands, luxuriant pastures, with
constant flowing water of unceasing streams. The buildings
are neat and capacious, and the fences in good condition.
Grand tiees of forest species afford ample shade. But it is
tbe btock that chiefly attracts. In the stables are Daly, King-
craft and Laurel Dale; in the pastures run the several mares,
with their young foal; in the enclosure are yearlings, colts
and fillies.

Daly is a magnificent deep bay, 16 hands, of 1150 pounds
weight, of splendid action, strong points, fine head, intelli-
gent eyes, and gentle disposition. He was sired by Stan-
ford's General Benton, dam Dolly, and bred at the Palo Alto
farm; was fouled A^ril, 1SS3. His colts bhow high proiniEe.

Kingcraft is one of Anteeo's handsome sons, foaled February,
1885, and has the color and marks of his great sire, a dark
bay of \5h hands. His dam was Nancy by General McClellan,
dam Old Nancy. Similar to Daly in disposition, Kingcraft
is free from fault in handling, and is of superb carriage, of
admirable action; in short, be is a beauty. Laurel Dale is
another of the sons of Anteeo, dam Danville Maid; a hand-
some brown, 15g hands, and of powerful siDewy frame and
limbs. He has good action and will make a trotter if signs
and tokens do not fail. The Rose Dale stud will be added to
in good time. Of the yearlings, one attracts the attention at
first look, as he bears every token of speed and staving qual-
ities. They all look well and please the eye and fancy of the
turfmen. Among them are sons and daughters of Daly and
of the sire of Anteeo, of General McClellan, of Wilkes and
Clay, of Messenger and Mambrino's handsome colts, pretty
fillies, the dams likely to look upon. Rose Dale is a spot the
admirer of horses will delight to visit.

Now Rose Dale and other similar breeding farms in Sono-
ma county are the consequence of this better and intelligent
development in the breeding of superior horses, which is to
advance California to highest rank in this line of pastoral
pursuits. Kentucky has her "blue grass" region. California
is a wealth of "blue grass," with the most favorable climate
lor the general condition of the horse and the kindliest soil
for the formation of the compact, firm, healthful foot, with
springy frog, of any habitable land blessed with enlightenment
known to mankind. It is not brag; it is the declaration
drawn from demonstration. J. O'M.

Santa Rosa, April 9, 1889.

Big Jim and His llecord.

There are just two ways of doing a thing, the right way
and the wrong -vay, and it seems that the gentlemen who
advised Mr. Clawson about giving Big Jim a record
have on two occasions led the owner off in the wrong direc-
tion, instituted a bar against a good horse and given him no
record. It is now several weeks ago that Big Jim was trotted
around the Bay District track and obtained an ostensible
record of 2:29|, but owing to the many objections made, it
was determined to trot bira once more and place him within
the magic circle, and last Saturday afternoon was the day
appointed to make the trial. So that there could be no
exceptions taken this time, a race was announced between
D. J. McCarthy's St. David, T. H. Griffon's Little Hope, and
L. E. Clawsou's Big Jim. On Friday night Mr. McCarty
was called to Fresno, and there was no person in authority
who could start his horse, so Mr. Griffon worked Little Hope
out two heats, by which time Mr. Clawson appeared with
Big Jim. It was.then decided that the Clawson horse should
be sent for a record, so three judges were appointed as fol-
lows: A. J. Allen, John Hawes and Dr. J. P. Clinton, the
timers being O. A. Hickok, W. B. Bradbury and C. H.
Hinchman. The judges gave the word and away went the
two speedy animals. The quarter was reached in 40* seconds
the half in 1:17, and from this point out Jim proved what he
could do by coming the last half in 1:12$, again making the
mile in exactly the Bame time as on the former occasion.
The drivers came back and receiving sanction from the judgeB
drove their horses to the stable, and that ended the record
making, Mr. Hinchman saying that the horse according to
rules was allowed three attempts, but as he had accomplished
the performance in the first heat it was not necessary to start
again. Mr. Marvin, it seems, has promised to give Mr.
Clawson a colt whenever Big Jim goes into the 2:30 class
and that is the reason these attempts have been made. Now
there is no reasonable doubt but what the gelding can trot
in 2:25 or 26, but it will have to be in accordance with the
rules, and not on the "say so" of every one who fancies that
he knowB what constitutes a 2:30 performer. The rules
under which Mr. Wallace registers those entitled to enter
the 2:30 list is as follows:

Section 1. Performances against time must be for a con-
sideration and Btrictly to rule. They must take place during
the usual hours, at a regular meeting of a reputable Associa-
tion, and the Judges and Timers must be appointed by the
officers of that Association. Any running or gain by break-
ing will vitiate the performance. All performances of this
class shall be reported directly to the Trotting Register under
such requirement of evidence as may be prescribed by the
Board of Censors, and they shall not be accepted nor psbs
into the tables until they are approved by that Board.

Sec. 2. Where there is a contest against other horses,
either real or simulated, with one or more heats in 2:30 or
better, and the compiler of the Trotting Regiater has reason-
able doubt as to the accuracy or honesty of the time an-
nounced, he shall furnish to the parties in interest such out-
line of required evidence as the Board of Censors may agree
upon, and the acceptance of such performance shall depend
upon the approval of said Board.

Sec. 3. Hereafter recordB secured against time, so far as
possible, will be indicated by a distinctive mark.

Now to the point. Big Jim came under the wire half a
length ahead of Little Hope, and won the heat, but the other
two heats necessary to constitute a race was not trotted.
"Yes, that is correct; we give into that, but we were only
going for a record," say the friends of Mr. Clawson. Granted,
but if such is the case, what other races took place on the
track that same day, bo as to constitute a regular meeting of
the association, as the rules require.

Gentlemen, get your records in a regular manner, and then
there will be none of this botherand trouble. We are just as
anxious as the owner of Big Jim to see his horse get the rec-
ord, for his dam's sake, but the rules will have to be lived up
to, or you will have to bear tbe brunt of the objections that
will constantly arise lo face you. Remember the oases of
"Whips" and "Carlisle," trotted over the Bame track, which
were rejected, owing to the same irregularity which confronts
Mr. Clawson now.

The Bard, winner of the Melbourne cup in 1S66, died a
short time ago in Australia. He was a noted race horse in
his day, and ran in the colore of John Tait, Esq., at that time
the most influential member of the Australian turf.

To be Continued.

That Dog Again.

When will Superintendents of tracks begin to learn that
dogs are dangerous auimals on a speeding course, life and
property being constantly in danger when they are allowed
to roam at large while horses are being worked. The follow-
ing telegram from Los AngeleB is a case in point:

Geneva S , the celebrated $15,000 trotting mare, by Abdal-
lah Mambrino, who has a record of 2:19}, had a miraculous
escape from serious injuries this morning. The mare was
getting rubbed after a speed trial, when a dog ran under her
legs and scared her. She got her leg caught in a wheel and
bolted off, knocking down her trainer. She galloped out of
the park and was picned up several hours later with the
Bulky all broken and a broken shaft rubbing against her side.
It is believed that Geneva S. is not severely injured, although
Bheis badly scratched.

Racing at San Jose.

The San Jose Blood Horse Association wound up their
first meeting last Saturday, in brilliant style. The weather
was exceptionally fine, just warm enough, with the faintest
suspicion of a breeze, while the track, which had been im-
proving every day, was at its best, having been worked into
good order and was very fast.

San Jose, and Santa Clara County generally, displayed a
total lack of Interest in the proceedings throughout, and were
noticeable only by their absence. It is to be hoped that at
their next meeting the local horsemen will turn out in strong
order and thus show that they appreciate the strenuous ex-
ertions whicn are being made to improve and encourage the
breeding of thoroughbred horses in their county, and thus
foster a profitable source of income to the breeders and
would-be breeders in California. San Francisco as usual,
furnished nearly the whole of the spectators, many of whom
went down by the earlier trains and had a look, at the beauties
of San Jose before racing began.

Some time previous to the regular races, Boots' Vinco and
Storn's Kiidare, both four year-olds, were given a trial of
three-quarters of a mile, two light stable boys riding, Vinco
easily beating Eildare in 1:171. Boot's gelding will bear
watching, for it not outclassed he will win a sprint Boon, as
he wou very handily at the finish. Kiidare seemed stale and
must probably require a rest by now, for he has been worked
about a year, and worked hard at that.

The fields were small in nearly every instance, but qual-
ity iB better than quantity, and we had plenty of the former.

The first race brought out a field of five, all well known
performers, and the talent at once pitched on Al Farrow,
making him favorite, and backing him from evens down to

1 to 2. „'-',.

Mr. Tupper and Brown were confident, Brown saying be-
fore the race that the; would have to beat 41 Bare before
they beat him.

Geraldine was backed for a little Btable money at 7 and 8
to 5, while the general public backed her pretty freely on the
strength of her running earlier in the meeting, though it was
at a much shorter distance; there was little or no money for
any of the rest, Brady being backed lightly for a place.

When the flag fell, after a long delay caused by Al Farrow,
who was very fractious at the post, Geraldine jumped off one
length in front of the favorite and going very fast increased
her lead to two lengths at the lower turn, Bnd at the half
and three-quarters had about two and a half lengths the best
of it directly they got into the homestretch Narvice quick-
ene'd Al Farrow up and riding hard got up to Geraldine's
girths at the drawgate, and gradually wore her down in a
punishing race won by a neck, both were ridden clean out,
Brady being a bad third.

Had it been possible to steady Geraldine in the earlier
part of the race and save her for the finish, she probably
would have won, but it is well known that she is so head
strong that she cannot be held in. When the time was an-
nounced 1:40, Mr. Tupper was the recipient of many con-
gratulations on the phenomal time made by his horse, Mr.
Ashe saying that he Bhould never grumble at being beaten in
time like that. The timers were W. L. Appleby, Jas. Boyd
and Ariel Lathrop (superintendent and manager of Palo Alto

stock: farm). .... .1.

Al Farrow's performance ranks as one of the best in the
world equalling as it does Stay vesant's record of 1:40 at
Sheepshead Bay in 1887, with 111} poundB up and only a
quarter of a second behind Ten Broeck's famous mile, 1:39}
in Louisville, with 110 pounds up. But while Tenbroeck
was a five-year-old and ran against time on a specially pre-
pared track, Al Farrow and Stayvesent both made theirs in
an actual race and though Al Farrow is a year older than
Stuyvesant was when he made his record, the difference be-
tween spring and fall form ought to counter-balance it.

In the next race there was very little betting Racine being
deemed a certain winner, and was booked at 1 to 3, Guido
and Pliny at 6's, Mirope at 20 to 1. Guido was heavily
back at 4 to 5 for a place, and Pliny had a strong following at

6VGH8

When the flag fell Pliny was two lengths behind the leaders
Guido and Racine. At the quarter Guido was juat in front
of Racine and kept there to the half when Racine had his
head loose Ned and went away from him winniDg easily by
two lengths. Pliny was hard ridden for second place.

The Gentlemen's race came nest and had three entries,
Mr. Williams riding Black Pilot, Mr. FalloD, Ito, and Del-
mas, Elwood

looking costumes. One in trousers and another in cloth
leggings instead of boots.

There was no betting on Black Pilot, the books offering
3 to 1 aDd 4 to 1 against Elwood and 10 against Ito.

Elwood spoilt the start as usual, attempting to get every-
where or anywhere, but never trying to go down the middle
of the track to the starter, and was ultimately left at the post,
though it seemed that Mr. Delruas listened to the crowd —
who thought it waB not a start — instead of watching the flag.
Anyway, Elwood was stopped, and his rider, who is a Phila-
delphia, well known as a winner at Rockaway and several
Eastern steeplechase meetings, was very much chagrined
over it.

The race, if it could be callel one, was very simple, for Mr.
Fallon, on Ito, soon had a seven or eight lengths lead, and
riding his horse's head off, was easily beaten by Tom Wil-
liams, who rode a very patient race on Pilot.

In the Mt. Hamilton Stakes, Laura Gardiner was backed
down to 4 (o 5, Mozart being at threes, Brutus fours, and
Wild Oats at S to 1. Wild Oats made most of the running,
followed by Brutus and Laura Gardiner, to the three-quar-
ters, when Laura Gardiner made her effort, and coming away
won easily. Brutus and Mozart had a hard race for second
place, which the former obtained by a bare length.

As the Novelty race did not come off, the Consolation
Stake was now run, Rosa Lewis had a slight call in the
pools, and in the books was 2£ to 1, while Ed McGinnis and
Jou Jou were at threes, all well backed. Of the rest. Glen
Ellen was fairly well backed for a place. Tom Daly and
Jou Jou made the running to the three-quarters, when Daly
had enough, and Jou Jou led into the straight, when Mc-
Ginnis came through, with Glen Ellen closiug up fast,

McGinnis challenged Jou Jou, and after a severe punish-
ing finish, won by a longish head, Glen Ellen and Jou Jon a
dead heat for second place. It was a very close race, and had
Glen Ellen come sooner, she would possibly have won.

SUMMARY.

First Race— Owner's Handicap. Purse of 8200. Entrance 810, or $5
if declared out nightjbefore race; to tbe second horse, 11 entries. One
mile.

Time, 1:40.

Hello, 95, and Nerva, 82, also ran.

Book-betting: 1 to 2 Al Farrow, 8 to 5 Geraldine, 15 to 1 Jack Brady,
20 to 1 Nerva and Hello.

After a long delay caused by Al Farrow who worked him-
self into a regular lather, refusing to do anything but spin
round for some time, the flag was finally dropped with
Geraldine a length in advance of the favorite, going round
the turn she increased her lsad to two lengths, Al Farrow
clear of the remainder. Geraldine passed the quarter in 25,
the half in 49£, still a good two lengths ahead, and at the
three-quarters in 144, was about 2?V lengths ahead of Al Far-
row, Brady third, but evidently out of the race. On turning
into the home stretch Narvice began to urge Al Farrow and
gradually closing tbe gap caughr her, and in a whipping
finish running as true as steel beat her out a neck, Brady a
bad third, the balance nowhere.

A Sensible Firm.

At a late meeting of the Board of Trade, of Sacramento,
Mr. Edwin F. Smith, Secretary of the State Agricultural
Society, appeared before that body and addressed them in
reference to the advantages to be derived by holding an an-
nual spring meeting, such as will shortly be held, under the
auspicies of the Capital Tarf Clab. The address was ably
delivered and was the means of the board seriously consider-
ing the matter. What they will do as a body is not as yet
known, bat one of the representative firms of Sacramento,
has addressed the following letter to Mr. Smith, which
speaks for itself. This letter will, beyond doubt, be followed
by many more of the same sort.

Sacramento, April 5.

Edwin F. Smith, Secretary State Agricultural Society—
Dear Sir: Your proposition, as laid before us, relative to
encouraging and perpetuating Spring racing in Sacramento,
we consider excellent. The method you propose will not
only arouse euthasiasm among onr local horse oreeders, but
will do a great deal toward encouraging Eastern turfmen to
winter their Btables here. As a result, Sacramento cannot
fail to be benefitted thereby.

Believing that the enterprise should be assisted and fos-
tered in every possible way by Sacramentans, we have decid-
ed to donate to the State Agricultural Society the sum of
§500, to be placed in such manner as the Directors may, in
their judgment, deem best for the interests of the proposed
meeting. This sum is subject to your order, and will be
turned over at any time to anyone properly authorized to re-
ceive it. Yours, very truly, Hall, Lchrs Ac Co.,

Per A. Andrews.

Second Race — Lick House Stakes, for two year-olds; $25 each, Slu
forfeit, or S6 if declared by April 1st, with $2('0 a lded; of which £75

Time. 1:16},

Betting— Racine 1 to 3, Pliny and Mirope 20 to 1, Guido 6 to 1.

The race — Guido got off on the inside slightly in advance
of Racine, Pliny last two lengths behind the leader?. Guido
was slightly in front of Racine at the quarter and half, but
on turning into the straight Morton gave Racine his head
and going on won easily by two and a half lengths, Pliny
meanwhile had been gradually closing up and was ridden
out for the place, getting it by a scant length from Mirope,
Guido last, being eased in the last few strides.

Third Race— Purse ?125; 325 to Becond; 100 pounds each. Gentle-
men riders.

R. P. Ashe's ch g Elwood, 6, Norfolk — Ballinette Delmas

Time, 1,49£.

Betting-Black Pilot, no odds; Elwood 4 to 1, Ito 10 to 1.

After a long delay oaused by Elwood who acted like a
regular cur trying to bolt and various other tricks, acting as
badly as he possibly could, he was eventually left at the post
for when the flag dropped to a slow moderate start he was
pulled up, his rider seemingly thinking it not a go. Mr.
Fallon on Ito went out at a lively rate, and pursuing a
suicidal policy made every post a winning post. At the
quarter he led six lengths, at the half and three-quarters he
led about eight lengths, then the pace told on him and he
Blowed down in the last hundred and fifty yards, allowing
Pilot, who had been very patiently ridden by Mr Williams,
to win easily by three lengths.

Fourth Race— Mt. Hamilton Stakes, for all ages; 325 each, S10 forfeit
or 35 If declared nut by April 1st, with S3i0 added, of which Sll'O to
to second, 350 to third horse. Weights 10 pounds below tbe scale;

Book betting— 4 to 5 Laura Gardiner 3 to 1 Mozart, i to 1 Brutus, 8

Brutus had a shade the best of the start but was passed by
Wild Oats who led past the stand, with Brutus second,
Laura Gardiner third and Mozart laBt. Wild Oats kept the
lead paBt the half, pressed by Mozart who had come through;
just before the thrte-qnarter pole was reached Laura came
past Mozart and then Wild Oats, and going on won by two
and a half lengths cleverly, Brutus and Mozart were both
ridden out for the place and after a sharp finish Brutus got
it by a length.

Inaugural Meeting at Moorland Track-

Friday afternoon, April 5th, a number of Santa Clara resi-
dents assembled at the new half mile track lately finished by
the Milpitas Racing Association, to witness the initial events
announced by that body, and a very enjoyable time was
had. The track, as already stated in the Breeder and
Sportsman, is situated on the Moorland Ranch, the property
of D. J. Murphy. The track was in fairly good condition
and will improve greatly when more work is done on it, the
newness of the course oausing it to lump considerably, a
complaint easily remedied. The first event on the card was
for a purse of $250, half mile heats, best three in five, and
wa6 robbed of much interest owing to the paucity of starters,
there being only two entries, Mr. A. Carrick's Billy and John
Buckley's Birdie; under the arrangements the winning horse
was to take the money, the second to receive a fine set of
breaking harness.

It took but a very short time to start them, Billy going
immediately to the front, Birdie trailing. As they rounded
into the homestretch Birdie was let out a link, and just
managed to get on even terms with his opponent and they
came under the wire like a double team. The judges
announced a dead heat, time 1:27 J. The three following
heats were easily takan by Billy, Birdie not proving equal to
the task; time 1:28£, 1:26, 1:28. The second race of the
day was called the Donation stakes, best three in live, half
mile heats, the entries being D. J. Murphy's stallion colt
Hume A. and P. Cameron's Lagoon. This race was alto-
gether one sided, as Lagoon was short of work, and utterly
unable to trot, while Hume A. was hardly any better. The
latter won in straight heats, tbe best time being the lest half
made in 1:58. The officers of tbe day were: Judges, James
Boyd, C. H. Cropiey and H. G. Cox; timers, D. J. Murphy
and E. Topharo. When the races were concluded, Mr. Cox
made a short address to the assemblage, stating that the
management would from time to time give races, and trusted
that the attendance would always be as large as it was then.
During the afternoon Mr. Murphy took a lot of the guests
over his extensive stables, a visit to which was well worth the
time and trouble taken.

Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association

Entries.

It is now an established fact that the 1889 Spring Meeting
of the Association will be far in advance of any hitherto
held. The entrieB are large in nnmber and the reports that
come from the training centers, lead us to believe that at
no past time has there been such phenomenal youngsters,
as are now being prepared for the cuntestB of speed which
begin on the 20th of this month. It is to be hoped that the
Bay District coarse will be fast, and if it is the public may
rest assured that more records than one will be smashed.
On the very fast track at San Jose marvelous time was made
for this season of the year, and as in many instances the
horses were started there, as much for preliminary work as
for anything else, they should be much improved by nest
week, and surprises are therefore in order. Secretary Culver
has made out the following list of entries which will be found
correct.

FIRST DAT, APRIL 20TH.

No. 6. — The Select Stakes; for two-year-olds; $50 from subscribers,
$100 additional from starters, 8750 added, of which ?160 to second, 8100
to third. Starters to be named through the entry bos at 6 p. ai. tbe
day before the race. Five furlongs.

This race has been designed especially for the large stables
of the State, as by many of the smaller class of breeders, it is
deemed impossible to raise horses that can compete with
those of the larger stock farms, therefore when the bell is
rang for this race it is presumed that the picked two-year,
olds of the State will face the starter. E. J. Baldwin makes
two nominations; Palo Alto Stock Farm, three; Theodore
Winters, three; L. U. Shippee, two. Palo Alto has exposed
its hand at San Jose, but what the other stables will produce
is at present only speculation. The winner will have to
beat the fastest recorded time if the information from time to
time be correct.

No. 7— Selling purse S350, of which 850 to the 3econd, for three
year-olds and upward; horsEs entered to be sold for $15u0 to carry

Los Angeles Races.

Up to and including the last mail we received from Los
Angeles, the weather had been very disagreeable, and many
who would have witnessed the sport if the days had been
pleasant, were deterred by the rain from attending. Tbe
officers of the association had done everything possible for
the comfort of their patrons, and not a word of complaint was
heard. The jodgeB were: A. Workman, Charles Da rfee and
O.K. Gries; the timers, E. B. Gifford and L. H. Titus, while
T. H. Rodman, the efficient Secretary of the organization,
was the Btarter. The initial race of the meeting was the
Rodman Scramble for two-year-old, in which five starters ap-
peared. The youngsters all looked well, but the public was
not long in selecting Mr. Dornalech's Duchess filly as tbe
probable winner, and she was installed favorite. With but
very little trouble the field got away, the favorite Bhowing
first in front, Keltic B. and Gold Dost well up. Hennessy
rode the unnamed filly very poorly, getting too much speed
out of her in the early part of the race. Young Dennison
rode a patient race until he turned into the stretch, when he
set sail for the leader and used up the favorite in short
order. £. J. Baldwin's Florella was a fairly good third.

SUMMARY.
First race, Monday, April 8th— Rodman Scramble, for two-year-olds;
-fin entrance, balf forfeit; 8206 added, distance, five-eighths of a
mile.

The "talent" made no mistake in the second race, the
winner being considered in better form tnan any of his
opponents. Tbe starteiB were quickly away, and for Ihree-
qnarters of a mile first one and then another showed in front,
until finally G. W. seemed to draw away from his field.
Brown, on Canny Scott, rode tbe same kind of a race as Den-
nison did in the first, waited until he was well into the home-

stretch, then overhauled G. W., coming under the wire an
easy winner, John Treat being third.

SUMMARY.
Second Race— Southern Pacific Handicap; for all agea ; 820 each, half
forfeit; 8200 added, of which 850 to second. Distance, 1* miles.

1 he third and last race of the day was a trotting contest
for 2:20 horses, but the time shown was slow for that class,
'2:2s\ being the best time shown. We have not the space to
spare for a detailed account of the heats but the summary
which is full and complete will show how the different heats
are trotted. Four heats were trotted on Monday, and two on
Tuesday, the following being the

The running races on tbe second day was full of intere&t
for the "short end boys," as the 'know alls" were completely
knocked out. The first event was a purse race, four horses
facing friend Kidman. When the word was given the Mc-
Carty horse bad a little the worst of it, being about a length
behind. The almost friendless Dan Murphy at once took
tbe lead, bnt it was of short duration, for almost immediately
they were all in a bunch, and bo rounded into the home-
stretch. A hammer and tougs race here ensued between G.
W. and Dan Murphy, but the latter would not be denied,
and won by a short neck.

SUMMARY.
Running— Purse 8150, all ages, of which 825 to second horBe, 10 lbB

There were only three starters for the Pioneer Handicaps,
and starter Rodman got them off easy, and a splendid race
ensued, Galgo however, not being in condition to last with
his two companions. Douglass and Othello made a splendid
showing, but the latter managed to get the verdict by a short
half length. The nest two heats Douglass had at his mercy
and won as he pleased.

SUMMARY.

The only remarks necessary in the trotting race for three
minute horses, is that in the last heat the judges disqualified
Glendine for running, bo that only four heats were ntcessary
to decide the contest.

Of the third days proceedings the following telegraphic
summary will give an idea of the winneis. A full rep, n of
the last three d»ys of the meeting will appear nest week.

A disagreeable drizzling rain made the attendance at the
race-track to-day very poor. The sport was fairly good.

In the Inaugural sweepstakes for three-year-olds, one*
mild dash, Louis P. won, with Lillita second and Hotspur
third. Time, 1:43 J. Getting off to a good start the quartet
kept in a bunch to the backstretch, when Louis P. forged
ahead, and coming away won easily by a length and a half.

In the running race for a parse of $300, half-mile heats,
best two in thrte, Gladstone won the first two heats, easily
beating Aloha, Kyrle Daly, Elizabeth, and Mave, who ran in
the order named. Time, 0:49 in both heats.

In the trotting-race for two-year-olds, mile heats, best two
in three, Zelda H. had a walk-over,

In the trotting for road horses, best three in five, Charlie
D won the first heat in 2:344; Pond Lilly won the secoDd and
third heats, both in 2:35£; Charlie D won tbe fourth heat in
2:39£, and Pond Lilly won the last heat in 2:39: and was
awarded first money. Ellsworth also trotted.

E. D, Gifford, of San Diego, to-day matched "What Ho
against Knap McCarthy's Lena Wilkes for $1000. The'trot
will take place here December nest. A forfeit has been de-
posited of $250 each.

Grim's GosBip.

Hand S. 2:0S£, was fifteen years old last Thursday week.

Mr. King, of Oakland, has sold Garfield 2:29£, to Ihe
McCarly Bros.

Mike Kelly says he will take about six horses back East
this year, including Floodtide and Geraldine.

There is not a particle of truth in the rumor published in
the dailies, that the Dwyers had made an offer for Al Farrow.

The report that E. J. Baldwin's Florella had died, was not
true; it was Colunde that the stable lost. He was by Grin-
stead— Ophir.

A few days ago, there died at Palo Alto, a full siBter to
Norlaine. She had been ailing from birth, and only lived
five days.

1 am glad to hear that the twin foals by Mambrino Wilkes,
dam Cora by Corsioan, the property of Mr. Irvin Ayres, are
looking fine and doing well.

Wary who has been backed quite heavily for the Suburban,
Btepped on a nail recently, severely injuring her foot, and she
has been thrown out of training.

Fleur-de-Lis, a full sister to Ormonde and Ossery, three-
years-old, hasdeveloped into a roarer, keeping company with
the balance of the family.

It is reported in the Eist, that the Brooklyn Jockey Club
gave away 2,200 dead head tickets at their two meetings last
year, still they netted $102,000.

Dan Dennison is at Los Angeles with his thoroughbreds,
and at the same time tells everyone he meets that "Prince
of Norfolk" is the greatest stallion in California.

If all accounts are true, W. H. Murray got a warm send off
from Sacramento when he started with Mb stable E*st.
There were several rows in which he came ont second best in
each.

Notification has been sent this office that the books are
full for Direotor and Thistle, at the Pleasanton Stock Farm.
Mr. Valensin also leaves word that Sidney cannot take any
more mares.

It is said that unless Mr. Baldwin's horses show better
form than they have done up to now at Los Angeles, he will
not bring them cp to the Blood Horse Meeting. Is he get-
ting faint-hearted?

Now that American horses with records of 2:20 are in
such great demand in Europe, the large Eastern cities are
overrun with agents willing to purchase such trotters any-
where from $5,000 to 15,000.

There will probably be a special race arranged between Al
Farrow and Geraldine at 110 and 105 pounds, one mile, with
added money by the association. Kelly says that the last
Saturday would suit both of them, as neither horse is en-
gaged that day.

Ito and Black Pilot will probably meet again during the
week, and if Mr. Fallon can be pursuaded to ride to orders
he ought to win as Ito has a great turn of speed. Anyway
be has cleared himself for they had 5100 on him for a place
last Saturday, at 4 to 1.

While on a visit to the Oakland track, M. McManus showed
me several very tine specimens of trotting stock, one particu-
larly suiting my fancy, by Clay. He is four years old, a
dark brown and of perfect conformation; he should prove a
useful horse for campaigning the circuit.

Robert Steel, Philadelphia, has purchased from J. W.
Coulston, the bay mare Nellie Rose, 2:29A, trial 2:21, by Sac-
ramento, brother to Mambrino Dudley, 2:19j, dam Nellie
Walworth by Toronto Patchen. Nellie Rose will be bred to
Antevolo,-2:19£.

Fresnoites are anxious to have Stamboul trot on their track
at the same meeting that the great $20, 000 running race takes
place. If the noted stallion fails to make 2:12 on the lccul
tracks here, it is just possible he may go over the Fresno
track and try to win Mr. Rose's wager, which he made with
Counseller Crawford, of Lexington, Ky.

Senator Hearst's cheBtnut colt Mistral, which died week
before last, at Sheepshead Bay, was a full brother to the
Speedy Four Aces, owned in Los Angeles, and Arthur H.
owned by "W. H. Babb. He was over sixteen hands in height
and was considered the equal of King Thomas in appearance
and speed.

Dr. S. N. Hamlin, of Marysville, writes to tell me that
there was an omission of his colt's name in the list of horsei
published last week, as in Senator Hearst's Stable. The c
g, 3, by Joe Hooker, dam Dolly Varden, is named "Sir Regi-
nald," and is entered in the Realization Stake, to be run at
the spring meeting of the Coney Island Jockey Club.

Many thanks to the Southern California Racing Club for a
special invitation to attend their spring meeting, but the
changes in the Brbeder and Sportsman office of late pre-
vented my visiting the City of the Angels at preseDt, but I
hope in the furture to pay my respects to the county which
can boast of its Santa Anita and it? Rosemeade.

R. E. Hyde, of Visalia, has purchased from D. J. McCarty
seven broodmares, among the number being Nellie Burns,
with a Guy Wilkes filly by her side. Satellite, bred to Noon- i
day: a full" sister to Lucille; Carrie Vernon by Mount Vernon, ]
and Miss Haggin by Alaska, dam by Niagara, The mares j
were shipped to Visalia on Wednesday. i

Jockeys A. McCarthy, Jr., Redfield, Day, Malone and 1
English, who had been "set down" several months ago at |
Guitenberg for suspicious riding, were reinstated conditim-
ally at a meeting of the Executive Committee last week.
Every engagement made by any one of tbem to ride must be
announced to and approved by the judges before the race.
The reinstatements are only during good behavior, the
judges reserving the right to revoke them at any time.

The following story was told me a few days ago, and shows
that there are still some men left with big hearts. As will
be remembered, Sn^ieS., the property of a.. G. Stevenson, was
killed some wefks ago by one of Senator Hearst's horses run-
ning agatnBt her. She was entered at San Jose in several of
the raceB, and naturally forfeits were issued to the wioners.
In one of the races a gentleman, on receiving the forfeit
paper tore it up si jing "Archie has had bad enough luck
lately, he don't owe roe anything."

For the past four months the horse news published in the
Sacramento Record Union, have been clipped bodily from
the Breeder and Sportsman, without a word of credit being
given. Now, however, things will change, as N. E. White,
an old Californian journalist, has the city desk on that paDer,
and we may expect to read frequent items about the doingB
of horses and horsemen at Agricultural Park.

The Blood Horse Association have determined to do away
with all dead head tickets, at the coming meeting, and have
established the rale that ladies shall be charged admission.
In the future, things will not be ran in the free and easy
manner of the past, but strict attention paid to making the
meeting a financial success. Members will be sent tickets as
usual, but no extra passes of admission will be issued.

Dan McCarty purchased from J. Morgan Hill, on Wednes-
day last, Linda, four-year-old, a full sister to Fleet, who has
a yearling record of 2:34. Linda is by Sidney, dam Flight
by Buccaneer; second dam Prairie Bird, record 2:23£. by
Flaxtail; third dam Fashion by John the Baptist. Mr. Mc-
Carty will take this mare to the East, with the balance of his
lot, where, beyond doubt, she will bring a good round figure.

One of the most popular horse journalists in the country,
is Leslie E. Macleod, of Wallace's Monthly. During his visit
to California, he has written up many of the Block farms in
addition to compiling the work shortly to be issued by
Charles Marvin, the veteran trotting horse driver and trainer.
Mr. Macleod made many friends on this coast, who will
heartily welcome him should he ever return. He started for
New York last Sunday afternoon.

Mr. J. K. Newton, (the Australian throughbred importer,)
returned last week from Lake County. He took his imp.
Maribrynong mare bred to Salvator, with whom he was very
pleased. He also took a fancy to Greenback while up there.
His other mares are bred to imp Cheviot and Three Cheers.
He expects to astonish race goers at the Blood Horse Spring
Meeting with his colts, of whom we have heard very flatter-
ing reports.

From a private source, I learn that last week, Matt Byrnes
worked out Fitz James a mile and a quarter against Firenzi;
for the three-quarters thev were nose and nose, but for the
last half, the mare had to give way to the speed of the horse.
Since the track has been in condition to work the string,
Fitz James has developed in speed more tban any of the
others, and seems to have thrown off the apathy which char-
acterized him last year.

Two weeks ago Mr. Leslie Macleod, of New York, contri-
buted a short article on horse portraiture for the columns of
the Breeder and Sportsman. In it he made the assertion
that up to that time be had not seen any competent photo-
grapher on the coast who could take a good picture of a horse.
Just before he left for New York he told me that he wanted
to take that assertion back, as in Messrs Hill and Franklin,
of San Jose, he had at least found two gentlemen who could
take a good horse picture.

Mr. J. H. White of Lakeville, Sonoma Co , in addition to
being elected President of the Breeder's Association, was
also elected last week President of the District Agricultural
Association at Petalnma, vice Mr. Meecham, who resigned
on account of his health. Mr. White is a man of progressive
ideas, and is able, from past experience, to build up the
Association, make the necessary repairs on the track, and
have it as it Bbould be, one of the principal training places
for California horses.

My old friend Charles V. Sass, (Centaur) has retired from
the editoral chair of the New York Sporting World, joined
the great army of Benediots, and started for the West India
Islands. Charley started the Sporting World and battled
along with it until he saw the little infant verge into full
fledged manhood, from a non-paying venture into a financial
success. He was a good writer, very conscientious, and
could not tolerate crookedness of any kind. He has my
hearty good wishes for his future, and I sincely tiust his
lines may be cast in pleasant places.

The Eureka Jookey Club have determined not to be be-
hind the other racing associations of the State, and so an-
nounce that they will give two days racing, on May 1st and
2nd. The majority of the races are for trotters, and the
entrieB already made show that the immediate vicinitv of
Eureka will furnish most of the entries. On the first day a
Colt Stake is advertised, best two in three for a purse of
$150. On the second day still another trotting contest will
take place and also a running race, three- quartors of a mile
dash.

In the Hanford Sentinel one C. K. Ragan issues the fol-
lowing challenge: "Being informed through the owner of
King Daniels that one of his friends had a thoroughbred colt
by King Daniels that he was willing to match ngainst any
high trotting bred colt for $1,000, I hereby propose to match
said colt or any other thoroughbred colt with a two-year
Brilliant colt for S1000 or $1, as the case may suit other par-
ties, owned in Tulare, Fresno, or Kern counties; trial to be
made on any track in the three eonnties named, provided
the match has money enough in it to pay expenses, should
it be made in Fresno or Bakerfifield."

Col. J. Thornton has just returned from a Bbort visit to
his ranch, and says his yearlings are looking wonderfully
well, and though not as big as some he has seen, particularly
Mr. Haggin's, yet they are doing as well as he expected and
show great promise. The colonel, who is an enlightened
breeder says that his mare Rebecca (bought at the Haggin
sale last spring) ougbt to nick with his imported horse
Mariner, and that he bought her for that purpose. She cer-
tainly ougbt to, for her dnm is by imp. Eclipse, a son of
Orlando, while Marioer has three Bay Middleton crosses,
and speed is what we require in this enlightened age, this
ought to give it though it is always considered rather soft
blood.

Among the interesting special events of the year will
be the stHllion race for a $10,000 purse, says the Sporting
World, to be trotted 8ept. 18. over a first class New Englani
track as vet unnamed. It will take place under the manage-
ment of Mr. Wesley P. Baloh of Boston, whose success in thiB
special direction is well known. It is limited to horses eligible
forlihe 2:19 class, of whom there is such a number credited
with great ppeed that the result is certain to be a grann1 snc-
csbs. Eutries clo°e June 1, but the entrance money, $1,000
is not due until the day of the race. It would be easy to
make a list of fifty stallions in the Eastern States that might be
entered for this event with reasonable hopes of success, and a
grand oontest may be expected.

Coursing at Sacramento.

The members of the Alta Coursing Club, of Sacramento,
accompanied by. a large delegation of ladies and gentlemen,
went out to the Twelve-Mile Honse, on the Marysville road,
Sunday to witness the unfinished coursing matches of the
preceding Sunday. The day was delightful, the roads in
good condition, the hares plentiful, and the dogs eager for
the iray. What more could the most ardent lover of the
sport wish for? The races were admirably managed by "W.
J". O'Brien and Ed. Sheehan, who did duty respectively as
judge and steward.

The only incident of note, aside from some excellent feat-
ures of several of the races, was Major Neary's catch-as-catch-
can wrestling bout wiih a wire fence, in which the Major was
badly worsted. The several heats were won as follows:

Conclusion of first series — H. M. tt. S. beat Lida Grant,
Banner Blue a bye. Hot Stuff beat Lorrigan.

Second series — Tallyrand Jr. beat LoDgfellow, Frankie K
beat Lady Alpha, Snowdrop beat Gimlet No. 1, Suowflake
beat Ben Harrison, Qaeen beat Pride, Mohrn Shore beat
Windsor Joe, Hot Stun! a bye, H. M. & 3. beat Banner Blue.

Third series — Frankie K. beat Tallyrand Jr.. Snowdrop
beat Queen, Snownake beat Mohrn Shore, H. M. & S. beat
Hot Stuff.

Fourth series — Snowdrop beat Frankie B , Snowfiake beat
H. M. S.

Fifth series — Snowfiake beat Snowdrop and won first money,
second went to Snowdrop, and third to H. M. & S.

The Central Field Trial Club.

Editor Breeder and Spobtsmax:— The Central Field
Trial Clnb will hold their first meeting at Lexington, North
Carolina, December 2, 1S89, or immediately after the Eastern
Field Trials Clnb have finished their running, Please place
the above notice in your Kennel fixtures.

The Central Field Trial Club is in receipt of so many
inquiries for information as to rules, etc., that the writer is
imable to answer each in detail, hence would like to state
through your valued paper, that we are hard at work on the
rules, aDd expect to nave them completed during the next
four weeks, when a copy, together with a full advertisement
of our stakes, will be sent to each of the pporting papers for
publication. The names of applicants for information are
placed on file, and a copy of the rules will be mailed them at
the earliest momeDt possible.

For the information of all concerned, we will run a Setter
Derby, also a Pointer Derby, with first, second and third
placeB in each. The winners will be known as the winners
of first, second aDd third in the Setter Derby and first, second
and tbird in the Pointer Derby, respectively. The two first
winners will be compelled to run a heat together, and the
winner of this heat will be known as the winner of the Derbv,
and will receive an additional stake which from present indi-
cation will make its winnings worth about SI, 000.

We will also run an All-Age Setter stake aud an All-Age
Pointer stake, with first, Becond ana third places in each
stake. The exact amount of each stake has not yet been
folly determined, but none of them will be less than that now
offered by the Eastern Field Trials Clnb, and the aegregate
amount, including specials, will be not less than 83,000.

"We have received several offers of special prizes for the
winners of the Setter Derby, Pointer Derby and winner of
the Derby, but as all except the latter were accompanied by
conditions, the club has deemed it best not to accept any
except the one offered without any other condition than that
it should go to the winner of the Derby.

"We hope to be ai>le to offer a Breeder's Cup for the winner
of the Setter Derby; also a like cop for the winner of the
Pointer Derby.

The club hopes that the Pointer Derby will commend itself
to all pointer breeders, aDd that tbey will show their appre-
ciation by sending a very large number of starters to the
trial. The setter breeders have always been stout-hearted
and ready to give battle, hence we feel that the only appeal
necessary to insure their support is to conduct our trials in
such a manner as to insure the best dog (barring its being off
or out of condition) being placed at the lop.

"We assure all that Dothing money, experience, competent
jndges and fair play ca i do, will be left undoDe to make our
trials an absolute success, and render setisfaction to alL

WTith your kiDd permission, we will, during the next two
weeks, send you for publication, an outline of our running
rules.

Wo will run a Derby for pointers, also a Derby for setters,
Tith first, Becoud and third places iu each stake, and have
decided to make the prizes in each. $400 to first, $200 to sec-
ond, and §100 to third, making $1,400 for Ihe two stakes;
;he winners to be known as the winneis of first, second and
hird in the Pointer Derby, respectively. It will be a condi-
lon of each stake that the two winners of first must run a
heat together, and the wiDner of this bent will be known as
the winner of the Derby, and receive $400 additional ($200
of which has been so generously donated by the "American
Field") making the entire amount, thus far decided on, for
the winner of the Derby $S0O.

The first series of heats will be run to determine what dogs
the judges shall select to run in the future series. Every
dog will be given ample opportunity to show whatever merit
he possesses. No heat can be less than one hour, and the
judges will prolong the time as much beyond that limit as
may be Decessary to expel all doubt of the correctness of their
decision. After all the dogs have run through the first
series, the judgeB will announce those they have selected to
run in the subsequent heats, and the names will be drawn to
see which will run together, and the usual order of running
will be continued through the future heats, the beaten dogs
being dropped and the winners running together in the next
series of heats.

In order to bring all doge to the field in as fresh a condi-
tion a6 possible, we will alternate the running of the etakes
— that is, run the setters one day and the pointers the next
day, 'until both stakes are finished. This will give each dog
all opportunity possible for rest and, we hope, will be the
means of bringing them to the field each day. on a keen
edge and enable them to show np to the best advantage
possible.

The All-Age Setter Stake and the All-Age Pointer Stake
will be run on the same plan as the Derby, firstj second and
third places in each stake. The winner of the first in the
Setter stake and the winner of first in the Pointer stake will
be compelled to inn a heat together and the winner of this
heat will be known as the winner of the All-Age stakes.

Mr. John Davidson and Mr. Wm. Tallman will judge in
all stakes and Col. Arthur Merriman will make the third
judge in the Pointer Derby, also the All-Age Pointer Stake.
Mr. J. M. Tracy was to have been the third judge for the
Setter Derby and All-Age Setter Stake, but he now finds it
will be necessary for him to be absent in Europe. Mr. Tiacy
is one of our members, and if alive, will be in the field next
year. "We will endeavor to find a substitute for Mr. Tracy
as judge that will prove acceptable to all owners and breeders,
and will be pleased to have them send the writer, Dames of
such gentlemen as will be satisfactory to them.

Sporting- Breeds.

Recent purchases of bench winners in England have given
America a lead in certain breeds which will probably be
maintained. Id pointers, English and Irish setters, England
is already quite outclassed as is admitted by a writer, who
says, in an exchange:

"The stimulus afforded by the remunerative prices paid by
American buyers has to a certain extent helped to keep buy-
ers on the alert aB much from the fact that our neighbors on
the other side of the Atlantic are prepared to pay well for
extra good dogs aB from the equally importaut desideratum
that unless every energy is strained to keep to the front,
England will be surpassed in breeding dogs aB on many other
points by the energetic and wealthy "Western Hemisphere.
It is on the latter accouDt that the pre-eminence of our fine
English kennelB at the commencement of the present year
may be viewed with the utmost complacency.

It is in the sporting division that breeders in England are
being severely pressed by the Americans, but it must be
remembered that the Laverack and Llewellyn strains have
formed the groundwork of their English setter breeding; but,
be this as it may, so long as there is a Birkett CockertoD and
a Shorthose in the field on this side, there is not much fear
of defeat, more particularly as second-rate animals that have
been imported from this country now pose as champions.
To take, for an instance, Rockingham, who could not have
gained the title of champion in England except by the merest
fluke. It is in the future, however, that English breeders
will have to look to their laurels, as, with the increase of
enthusiasm in dogs in America, the number of breeders of
setters will probably far exceed that of those in the Mother
Country. The Irish setters, also popular in the Far West,
in many cases trace their pedigree back to Palmerston, that
prince of blood whose lineage is so highly valued all over the
United Kingdom.

"While on the Bubject of Irish setters a tribute of praise is
due to the Rev. R. O'Callaghan for the perseverance he haB
displayed both as a judge and breeder in raising the standard
of these equally useful and handsome dogs to their present
state of excellence. By comparison with the English and the
Irish setter the black and tan setter has not made such rapid
progress, possibly owing to the difference of opinion which
exists amongst judges as to the value of color. In Scotland,
the home of the breed, richness of tan is a sine qua non, a
point which with most English judges is of secondary con-
sideration. About the Dime there has lately been a lengthy
discussion in America, with the result that it is from hence-
forth to be called the Gordon Better, and every dog with a
stipulated percentage of blood which can be traced to the
Duke of Gordon's strain is to be eligible for the Stud Book.

Pointers have always been favorite dogs with English
sportsmen to shoot over, and they have participated in the
general advance, taken as a lot, but during the past few
years very few individual specimens have been bred stand-
ing out prominently amongst the crowd; few, indeed, to
compare with Mr. Lloyd Price's celebrated Wagg; light eyes
and coarse and badly-carried sterns are too often to be seen
even amongst the greatest prize winners. That there is
room for improvement was evidenced at BirmiDgham, where
the best classes of sporting dogs are usually to be met with;
there the small-sized dogs and bitchts were wretchedly
poor. It is argued by some people that for a pointer to be
good in the field is all that is required; but there is no reason
why beauty of contour, liberty of action, and the other
typical points sbonld not be associated with the finest work-
ing properties were breeders to set to work in earnest to
obtain them.

The variations of fashion have been experienced amongst
spaDiels. Caprice has of la'e decided that Clumbers are to
be larger than of yore, great size having been obtaiDed at the
expense of type. On the other hand the blacks have well-
nigh reached perfection, Messrs. Bryden and Comber's and
Mr. Farrow's being of great merit. Now varieties have been
manufactured, amongst them black and tans, which in some
oases haveshown a decided family likeness to Gordon setters.
The fine Sussex with the golden liver color has almost
become extinct, and though some few are said to be direct
descendants from the celebrated Rosehill strain they are gen-
erally waoting in Sussex character. At the present time
there is a disposition to force small Held spaniels into the
Cooker classes. This is a great mistake, as the active little
Cocker is distinctly different in form to the long and low
field spaniel.

There is no breed of sporting dogs which has kept on so
steadily improving in style and character as retrievers, more
particularly in tbe wavy division. The fact that all the best
dogs remain in the country in consequence of there being
but little demand for retrievers aboard, where pointers and

setters are taught to retrieve, has, no doubt, something to do
with this. But probably a more cogent reason is to be
found at Ettington Park, where Mr. S. E. Shirley keeps a
fine kennel of wavy retrievers, and from whence have sprung
almost all the best retrievers of the day. The combination
of substance with quality has been made an important feat-
ure in building up this strain, and there now only wants the
eradication of the disposition to throw light eyes and rather
lerge ears to obtain almost absolute perfection.

The exportation of the greater part of the best fox terriers
to America has not been advantageous to tbe smooth variety
of that name, it being an open question whether there now
existB a Buffet or Dorcas. More of the character so conspic-
uous in that grand old terrier, Belgrave Joe, is still required.
The wire-haired fox terriers have made giant strides during
the short time that attention has been paid to their breeding,
and it was no sninll feather in their cap when tbe six best
were successful in competition with the same number of the
cream of the smooths. The stringent measures wiih regard
to trimming which have lately been passed by the Fox Terrier
Club can only be looked upon iu one light, that of approval.

Notes on Bait Fishing For Trout.

By J. Harrington Keene.

Worm or bait fishing for trout should be practised in lucid
streams, where the trout are few and wary, aDd never should
be allowed in rivers where the fish are numerous and unused
to fishing or anglers. Under circumstances of such difficulty
as indicated, it ranks, in my opinion, next to ny-fiihiDg in
its demands on the resources of the fisher; the necessity for
careful and neat casting, and alert attention to the indications
of a bite beiDg. indeed, in some respects of a superior grade.
"Worm fishing Bhould come in when the water is brightest
and the fish wariest, namely* in July or thereabouts. It
should Dever be practised before, and it is really unsports-
manlike, as I have admitted, if used after the showers of
early season have ..colored the water. In bright water, how-
ever, if the angler is skilled, his sport is sure to be great; if,
however, he does not care to attend to the minutiae of the
art of worm fishing, he may in vain exercise his streDgth
and perseverance, for it is, under such conditions, as diffi-
cult to take trout with the worm as with a fly. A good
angler in this style, however, may be sure of taking almost
as many trout during tbe heat and brilliance of midsummer
as during the whole of his subsequent or previous experience
in that season. Mr. Francis goes iDto raptures over the
scenic and other charms, incident to the dolce far niente
worm fisher's art. Mr. Stewart coofines himBelf to describing
the methods of its practice, and the latter example I shall
elect to follow myself.

In order that the cast may be made with a success com-
mensurate with that in fly fishing, I prefer a double handed
rod, of greater Btiffness than the ordinary fly rod, and from
14 feet to 16 feet in length. A single handed rod cud, of
course, be used if the angler chooses, but I do not recom-
mend it, having found, even in fly fishing, a double handed
weapon inflict less real fatigue than the other. A double
handed rod, then be it.

When I referred to the success cf the cast, I did not mean
the getting out of a long line necessarily, but the successful
cast of the bait, so that the fragile worm may not be mutil-
ated or broken. A long cast, indeed, is not desirable,
because the force of sending it out often sadly disarranges
your lure The length of the rod also aids one in striking
and bringing home the bait, for it must be patent to every
body that a strike is better made, when the fiBh is at a dis-
tance, with*a lone rod than a short. Tbe reel may be similar
to that used for fly fishing, and so may the line; the choice
of such may be, however, left in some degree loathe aDgler's
taste.

The casting line cannot be too fine in reason. The upper
part may, truly, be of thicker gut than the lower, and, like a
fly cast, the whole may be taper. I advocate this on two
counts: one, the greater facility afforded of getting the line
out; the other, the desirability, because of the clearness of
the water, when worm fishing is practised. Drawn gut is
better than whole gut, because tbe former has, by the process
of drawiog, been deprived of its reflective powers, and is
therefore, not nearly bo visible in the water as the latter.

Now, as to hooks. Stewart and Pennell advocate more
than one hook — in fact, the former advocates four, tied one
above the other. The worm is looped on. It is known as
'Stewart's" tackle, and these are the advantages the maker
claims for it: (1) Tnat the trout can hardly take hold of the
worm at all without having one of the hookB in its mouth;
(2) That the worm lives much longer, and beiDg free to
wriggle itseif into any shape, is more natural looking, and
consequently enticing; and lastly (3) that it is much more
eisily baited, especially if tbe worms are fresh. Very can-
didly does Mr. StewaTt enumerate its disadvantages. He
says that it i j "more difficult to extricate from the fish's mouth
(that it is, indeed, especially if the worm be, by chance,
swallowed, and the whole four hooks are safely attached);
that it requires to be baited afresh every bite (a nuisance
which becomes infcclerable when the aDgler is learning the
style, and in consequence, misBes a large number of bites);
and that the exposure of so many hooks is calculated to
scare away some of the trout that would otherwise take the
bait."

For my part, I think the objectioDB to the tackle far out-
weigh its usefulness. Another detraction may be added, that
is, the hooks are continually catchiDg in something, whereas
the single hook, being unobtrusive and unexposed, does not
do so. Besides .this, I have found that the worm often
breaks itself, no matter how skillfully it is put on or how
well it has been scoured. The originator, or, more properlv,
the adapter, thinks otherwise, of course, and certainly
advances strong evidence of the plausibility of his coDvic-
lioo. He first tried using one and then the four, the trial
lasting over three days. The result was that the four hook
tackle proved triumphant to the extent of about 15 per cent.
Such experiments are not, however, unimpeaohable as to real
test. There are natural conditions of atmosphere and water
which are utterly beyond the estimation of the aDgler, and
which will ever render such tests unreliable, unless they are
couduoted through a long series of days or even months.
Perhaps there is something in early training which disposes
me to this exclusive liking for the one hook. Anyhow, I
prefer it to the quartet Stewart recommends.

For my own part, I prefer a No. 5 or 6 hook, whipped on
with a bristle or piece of silver wire projecting about a quar-
ter of an inch above the shank. It should be baited by run-
ning the hook along the length of the worm, from the mouth
to within one-half an inch of tbe tail. In order to do this
well it is necessary to have a little silver sand in a receptacle
near, or attached to tbe worm tin, to dip the worm in, that it
may not slip between the fingers.

I never attach shot, because I do not believe in impeding

the worm at all. If one be fishing in deep water, sinkers are
admissible, but then it is not in pools that tbe angler usually
finds his sport. It chiefly is in the midst of streams of
Bhallow water where he will get fish, and to use shot when
throwing up-stream is of no utility in producing the properly
silent — or nearly ao — delivery of the bait.

Besides all this, also, the staying of the bait in the stream
is an unnatural proceeding, and is calcnlated to arouse the
suspicions of the wary old fish, likely to regard your bait
with favor. Throw in a worm, good angler, and watch it.
How it twists and twirls, and then rolls over and over,
higgled-piggledy, amongst the stones and debris of the
ground of the stream, and finally into the jaws of a trout.
There is ordinarily no stoppage whatever in its progress
n atirjit reaches that bourne from which;no worm returns — tbe
trout's mouth. Why, then, should the angler place shot on
his line? To retard it, say some, so that the fish may have
time to take it. Unnatural again. Depend upon it, good
trout-fisher, the nearer you are in all things approximate to
the natural, the better your sport.

The worms in use for wo rip-ti string are chiefly the dew or
maiden worm, the red worm, the brandling, and the marsh
worm.

The dew or maiden lobworm is an immature worm of the
species Lumbricus terrestris, or common earth worm. By
well watering the grass of a closely cut lawn just before sun-
down, and traversing it afterwards with a lantern, one can
always get enough for a day's fishing. They should be kept
in damp moss — the sphagnum is the best — that they may
scour themselves and become tough and lively.

There is a black-headed worm, which is probably of
another species, called by some anglers the blue head. I* is
of sheeny bluish appearance throughout, and is, no doubt,
one of the best worms for trout-fishing when scoured well.
There is, however, a difficulty in getting it, and my experi-
ence is that very dark, stiff loam alone produces it in abun-
dance.

The red worm, or cockspur, is a delightful little fellow, and
is found in rotten manure heaps. The brandling is also a
pretty worm, but has a remarkably fetid smell. Whilst the
red worm is really a splendid lure, the brandling is not often
so. Both are too well known to need any description.

The marsh worm is a great favorite with many anglers, but
I do not esteem it as at all approaching the foregoing in pop-
ularity wi'h trout. It is of a pale blue color, with a whiteish
knot a little above the centre. It is very plentiful, but 1 do
not care much for it. If properly scoared it assumes a
bright p;nk hue. and will kill fish in small waters.

Now, a word as to the storing and keeping of worms in
good condition. Get a large bos, and into it place old pieces
or any material of that nature without dye, torn into small
pieces. But your worms on the top and throw in a good lot
of earth of the ordinary garden sort. In cold weather place
a sack over the receptacle; do so in hot weather also, to keep
out the sunshine, which is inimical to the worms. Look
them over carefully every few days, throwing away the dead
ones.

To scour them, the moss above named is best; they ought
to be in some three days at least before using. Place them
at the top. Walton talks of the yolk of egg as good food for
worms, but such fanciful fare is really not worth speaking
about. Perhaps, aB a curiosity, however, before quitting the
subject, the following recipe I discovered in manuscript in
the Sloane collection, (British Museum) will prove interest-
ing:

"A wonderful bait for Trowtes and Thymallos. Draw a
black hen, put into the belly of it three yolks of eggs and as
much saffron as pease; then sew up the hole, and bury the
hen in a dunghill of horsedung for three or four days till it
putrefit or rot, and there will appear little yellow worms in
it. When you have a mind to fish, fasten one of these worms
to your hooks. Keep the rest of the worms in a pot or ves-
sel. It is a wonderful experiment." This is taken from a
work by John Hooker, the name of which is illegible, and
the copviBt adds: "I think the like maybe made with a
herring^ for it is said that a herring hath an attractive power
to draw fish to it; and the eggs of hemes may be better than
the volksof hen eggs." He also says, "Worms sprinkled
with oowder of camphor makes a good bait for carps, perch
and other fish."

In the selection of a hook bait, those worms that are small
and well fed, likewise, being somewhat transparent and of
good color which experience alone will determine, are the
best. It must never be supposod that a large worm entices
a large tront in the same way as a large bait is found most
suitable for a large pickerel. Snch is not the case. I have
repeatedly taken a two-pound iront with a worm only just
large enough for the hook, but it was always a very lively
worm, and well scoured. I do not think trout are very par-
ticular what species of worm they take. If there is any
preference at all. it is for the cockspur or small red worm.

In casting tbe worm, a rather different style must be re-
sorted to from that used in fly-throwing. The line must be
thrown lightly, so as not to break the worm, and precisely to
any given spot. It should, to this end, be allowed to go
back to its extremity, and then the plan is to slowly urge it
forward, so as to avoid the risk of its popping. If it "pops,"
of course the chanceB are the worm requires renewal. Its
tail, which hangs loose, is probably broken, and this is a very
bad' fault in a bait. The vermicular writhings are exceeding-
ly fascinating to trout. _ _

After the bait has fallen on the water, {bear in mind l ad-
vocate up-stream fishing if possible) the point of the rod
must be lowered, so as to facilitate the sinking of the bait; it
should then be slowly raised, so a3 to keep out of the water
as much line as possible, but it is necessary that this should
not be done too quickly, lest th* trundling, rolling passage
of the bait be interfered with. It is of great importance to
keep the line as much aB possible out of the water, lest the
stream acting upon it, accelerate its force unduly. Also the
trout seeing the continuous line, will very often be startled.
In all cases it is best to endeavor to let the worm fall first, as
with the fly, becausp, in tbe case of an eddy, though it may
drop precisely in the centre, yet, if there be much line in the
wa'er, it is infallibly swept out of it. There is also another
reason: The worm is of bat little specific gravity (as com-
pared with the water), and floats or rolls down stream at al-
most the same pace as the stream. On the other band, the
line, if allowed, bags, and a portion of it remains up stream.
If this portion be considerable, it retards the strike suffi-
ciently to cause the loss of many a fish. No more than four
or five feet of fine gut should be allowed to present itself to
the stream, excepting when a deep pool necessitates other-
wise. It mnst be born in mind that the worm ought not to
grovel on the ground, but skip, as it were, over obstacles.
and generally behave itself as if it were unencumbered. It
then, by force of 'he stream as mnch as by the will of the
fisb. leaps, as it were, into the jaws of its foe.
When this consummation so devoutly to be wished has
. arrived, the first signs are a stoppage. In many cases thiB is
imperceptible to the eye of the uninitiated, but the experienced

worm-fisher instantly detects it, and unerringly acts on it by
striking. But the striking must not be too rashly done.
Lower your rod down stream till the line is straight without
bearing on the fish, and strike sharply. The plan may be
practise! whether you are using the fonr hook tackle or the
one hook — perhaps a second or so later for the latter.

Now, no one in the world can determine on paper the pre-
cise moment when the strike is most likely to have effect.
Let us consider for an instant how a trout takes a worm. I
have watched the proceeding often enough in aquariums.
The worm falls and floats down stream wriggling. The trout
advances and takeB it, if possible, by the tail end; if not by
the tail, then by the head, and sometimes quite crosswise.
The most general aim of the fish is to take "it tail first, this
part being best liked, Hence, the tail is allowed to hang
down in preference to the head.

Somebody may ask how I know the fish like the tail of a
worm in preference to the head. By experiment, I answer.
I chopped up worms so that the heads and tails were mixed,
and distributed them promiscuously to my trout. They
invariably "went for" the tails with a decision which, to say
the least, was remarkable.

From these facts I deduce the desirability of the threading
of tbe worm from head to tail. At the same time one repeat-
edly rinds the fish taking the worm by the head and biting it
through — evidently from pure "cussedness" — and then leav-
ing it. In such a case Mr. Stewart's tackle has them in-
stanter.

It is certainly very deadly in this respect, but I conceive
its chief detrimental feature is the habit it has or catching at
everything within reach, as if it were really endowed with
vitality.

Mr. W. J. Golcher and Chas. D. Laing fished the San
Lorenzo from Boulder Creek on Munday and had good luck.
They went well up the stream.

Will Kittle took a good basket of trout from the Alamio on
Sunday, using white winged Coachman tipped with bait.

A small army, with rods and baskets, raided Point Reyes
on Saturday evening. Robert K. Gardner and Mr. Emery
used bait and did fairly. David Tborne, H. Spencer and
Senator Binder, fly casting, brought down light baskets.

Messrs. Sehwerin, Open, Precht, Frank Dolliverand Wilson
fished for salmon at tbe bridge near Olema in tide water, and
killed a dozen fish between them.

Tbe fishing season has so far been all in favor of the trout
and salmon, the streams having been too high and muddy
for good sport. Another week or two, however, will bring
favorable conditions. Messrs. Ramon E. Wilson, J. H.
Adams and W. H Peckham fished Boulder Creek and the
San Lorenzo on Saturday last, Measrs. Adams and WilBon
using flies and Mr. Peckham bait The two first named got
plenty of very small trout. Mr. Peckham killed but four or
five, but they were large, one a salmon weighing five pounds.

THE GUN.

Championship Meeting.

The championship of Central California at Blue Rock tar-
gets was shot for at Adam's Point, on Saturday afternoon
last. The honor is emphasized by a gold medal worth $10U,
offered by the Selby Smelting and Lead Company, which had
been twice won by Mr. Frank J. Bassford, of Vacaville, and
on Saturday he adr'ed a third win. If he again wins the
trophy it becomes his personal property.

The match was given under the auspicies of the Blue
Rock Club and was well attended. The traps, of the latest
model, did not work satisfactorily, breaking many of the tar-
getc, and throwing the rest irregularly.

Mr. A. B. Sperry, of Stockton, had challenged Mr. Bass-
ford but did not appear for some reason.

Mr. W. A. Hamilton, of San Diego, one of the best of the
southern coterie of fine shots, took second place.

Score: — At 50 singles, and 25 pairs. Blue Rock targets; entrance $10.

He is Not Mad!

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Why, oh why, should
I have been made the target for your hnmor-tipped shaft of
l&st week? But I am not mad — no, I am not mad! How-
ever, I came home a week ago to-day, tired and hungry, from
a snipe shoot, and my wife met me at the door with two
postal cards — one wasn't enough, bnt two had to be sent —
and before I knew what it was all about, I had been pretty
well chaffed about my "symmetrical figure," etc. I have
satisfied the good lady, however, that it was all meant seri-
ously, and that I was the observed of all observers at the
trials — the central figure, etc. If I had only thoaght to have
held in my arms that gorgeuus alligator-leather gun case she
presented me on Christmas — when that picture was taken —
I would have had an easier task to thns convince her that I
was really the same dignified oreature away from home that
I try to be here.

Well, how do things look for nest year? Good, I hope.
May we be tbere to see! Yon know "there are only a few of
us left." of the originals, and I hope we will continue to Btay
with the procession. N. E. White.

Sacramento, April 6, 18S9.

A notable visitor to San Francisco during the week has
been Mr. William Thomas, of Chico, the best shot, most
devoted angler and leading sportsman of that section. Mr.
Thomas attended the last field trials at Bitkerafield, and
expects to be represented in the next by a pointer. He
reports game scarce about Chico, and interest in sport at a
low ebb.

The Pacific Sportsmen s Club, Sacramento, held its annual
meeting on Saturday last, and elected the following officers:
President, J. M. Morrison; vice-prfsident. Frank Kunz;
treasurer, Adam Damm; secretary, Fred George; captain,
Chas. Flohr; assistant captain, George Chapman. The clab
will hold its first trap meeting of the season on April 27th,
at 8 o'clock a. m., on Agricultural Park, Sacramento.

13th District Agricultural Association.
The annual meeting of this association was held at
Marysville, a few days ago, and J. H. Kimball, of Sut-
ter County was elected president, Mr. Knight positively
refusing to accept the position again as he expects to go
East shortly, and he could not give the association the
attention it requires. Mr. Thos. Sherwood, of Marys-
ville, was elected secretary and manager of the Fair.
The date for the fair was selected, being September
3rd to 7th inclusive. As usual it was determined to give
as large purses as possible. The speed list will be pub-
lished on or about May 1st.

A few weeks ago, by the request of J. D. Whitney
and A. B. Cutler, we sent an advertisement to the
Chicago Horseman and the N. T. Spirit of the Times rela-
tive to the firm opening books on the Brooklyn and
Suburban Handicaps. In the Spirit of March 30th the
following notice appears: "For information concerning
the responsibility of Messrs. Cutler & Whitney, book-
makers, San Francisco Cal., intending backers should
address editor of Breeder and Sporstman, of that city,
by whom the advertisement was sent to the Spirit."

The advertisement was simply sent to our contem-
porary as an act of accommodation to a customer, and
not with the idea of beiog cited as reference. However,
the following letter speaks for itself, and gives the refer-
ences furnished by the firm:

Dear Sir: I see by your paper of the 30th inst. that you
refer all those speculatively inclined to the editor of the
Breeder and Sportsman, of this city. That is all satisfactory,
but would much rather have you refer than to our banks,
which are the following: McCornick A* Co., of Salt Lake City,
Utah (private act, Mr. A. B. Cutler), also California Savings
Bank and Loan Association, corner Powell and Eddy Streets,

city editor Breeder and Sportsman, considerable trouble.
and it will be more satisfactory (we think) to the general
public. • Very truly yours,

The Stanford Stakes of 1891.

Trottiner Stakes to be Decided in 1889.

The first Stanford Stakes were for foals of 1879, so
that the one which closed on the 20 inst., is the tenth of
the series.

As first it was a stake of $300, each being the largest
stake ever gotten up for trotting three-year-olds, the ob-
ject being to induce Eastern owners to make nomina-
tions. Failing to receive their support it was reduced to
$175 each, the cutting down being in first, second and
third payments which are $25 each in place of a first
and second installment of $100 each. Thus celts can be
engaged at a small risk when compared with the original
amount, and as the payment of $100 is put off until
thirty days before the time fixed for trotting there is a
good chance to learn the capacity before the largest
majority of the stake has to be posted.

That the stake retains its popularity is manifest from
the list of nominations which was published last week,
thirty-one in all, and many of the most prominent
Californian stallions represented. Arrayed in alphabeti-
cal order their names are Alban, Alcazar, Antevolo,
Electioneer, Electricity, Eros, Guy Wilkes, Dawn, Le
Grande, Nephew, Norval, Shamrock, Sidney and a son
of Kelpie and Sprite. Thirty-one colts make a grand
showing, and fourteen stallions fully in keeping with
the number of their progeny. Stamboul and Director
are omitted which probably comes from neglect on the
part of the owner of the game black, and Mr. Rose may
have thought that he would prefer that the battle for
Rosemead be fought by the get of his favorite colt. That
the sires do not carry all the glory is manifest when the
list of dams is scrutinized for in that will be found,
Sable, Manon, Sallie Benton, Lady Ellen, Mayflower,
and combinations of blood in those unknown to fame
which is an augury that will be only a temporary cloud.
There are eight which have made third payment in
the Stanford StakeB for 1889, and twenty which are still
eligible for that of 1890.

Secretary Geo. A. Tapper, of the Sonoma County
Agricultural Park Association, with a commendable
promptitude, forwarded us last week, immediately on
the closing thereof, the entries already received for the
colt stake races, to be held in Santa Rosa this fall. Since
his last letter he has received a few other nominations,
which are to be added to the list already published.
They are as follows.

Not to speculate about stakes which are yet to close,
it is a safe assertion that never a year before which
gave such promise of rare sport among the trotting
youngsters on this coast.

There are so many colt stakes at the various fairs, that
a good portion of the programme is taken up with them,
the nominations are very full, and the character of the
contestants such as to warrant the belief that even re-
cords may be equalled with a possible chance of still
lower figures. The hardest tack is unquestionably the
essay to beat the two-year-old mark, and were we aBked
to select the easiest to wipe out of all of the colt records
the yearling guage would be the choice. Two minutes,
thirty-one and a half secunds is a "prodigeous" fligbt
for an animal which ranks as a yearling, and though
the trial be postponed, until 1889 be within a few hours
of being numbered with the past, it is still the hardest
kind of a stent to accomplish.

But when 2:18 is the objective point for an animal
foaled in 1887, there are mountains in the way, and no
small elevation when foals of 1886 make the same en-
deavor. Then 2:16 for a four- year-old is an up grade
the whole of the way, and though there may be those
who flippantly vaticinate on the ease with which certain
colts will "knock the black out" of a figure already low
in the teens, their enthusiasm runs away with their
judgment. But for all that, there is a "field" of four-
year-olds which portend trouble to "Folio's" selection.

Admitting Grandee to be a wonderful colt, with Di-
rect, Gossiper, Memo, Balkan, Moses S., and quite a
number of the three-year-olds of last year which gave
evidence of being cut the right way of the cloth, and
put together as well, to meet even the grandson of Nour-
mahal may falter before victory is gained. Sunol so far
overshadows all other colts and fillies of her age, of her
year, or any other year, that with health and condition
in her favor, none would be rash enough to dispute that
she had a first mortgage on all of the three-yea r-ola
stakes she started in. But health, and freedom from ac-
cidents incidental to colts in training are not positively
to be counted upon, and there is also a chance that she
may not take part in California races. Outside of Sunol,
Margaret S. and Yesolia have shown the best in public,
but not so manifestly superior as to preclude hopes that
others may be fitting company. There could not be a
more "open question" than that which the two-year-
olds will present. There is a great number of that age
in training, and from reports, which appear to he well
founded, there will be no lack of fast ones in that class.

A great year for all class of turf and track sports, an
extraordinary year for youngsters in both divisions,
superlative for fairs and meetings, and above all the best
for the whole State of California that has been known
for crops of all kinds.

The Meeting at San Jose.

When the San Jose Blood Horse Association hold its
next meeting there is little question of hearty support
being given. The first proved that good racing could be
seen in the spring, and that with the number of horBes
now in training in California there will be no further
trouble in bringing enough of them together to ensure
capital sport at any suitable season of the year.

The improvements to the course have resulted in as
good track as the most oxacting could ask for. "Fast"
and "safe," spectators are pleased with contests which
the watch endorses as having the attraction of speed,
while the safety part delights owners and trainers.

Fast, look over the whole list of races. The horses, of
course, had to be fast, too, though it requires more than
elastic muscles and "nerves of steel" to put such marks
en the blackboard as were displayed during the entire
meeting.

The most notable event in the way of speed was the
run of Al Farrow in 1:40. Quite true that he had only
93 pounds to handle, but to make 1,760 yards in 100
seconds is a great performance if even the weight carried
was a "gutted snowbird," to use an old time quarter
horse metaphor. Then Geraldine from all accounts
"should have won," had her powers been more judici-
ously managed.

It is claimed that she made three quarters of a mile in
1.13, and that is enough to "cook" any horse, however
game, that flies over the fastest ground at that rate-
But then again, Al Farrow had the worst of the start,
and according to all accounts he was no further back at
the three-quarter pole than he was when the flag fell, so
that he must have also gone three-quarters in 1*13, and
had enough left to beat the fiery-footed-filly at the finish-
When these Oregon-reared short mares are bred to Cali-
fornia stallions, they appear to upset Fanny Ken.ble's
often-quoted saying: "That none but thoroughbreds do
it right well," and that Lummux and George oombiDed
with Joe Hooker and Connor, are "sure enough race-
horBBB" when the route is no further than a stated mile,

Far more important to the true interests of racing was
the example set by Palo Alto to urack the record all
through. Not that it has been the first time that horses
from the same stable "iacea each others heads off," but
since dash races became the rule, it has been gravely
argued that so long as the stable won, no matter if a
Dan Sparling beat a Spendthrift, or the slowest crab in
the string finished before the crack, when a half- hundred,
a long half-hundred at that, would not have brought
them together, it was all right. These cute arrjwnentaton,
however, lose sight of the fact that the spectators who
pay their money to see a race have rights, and their
expectation must not be balked to favor owners, although
it is questionable if ever any great benefits are derived
from sharp practices of any description.

That spring racing in California, outside of the Blood
Horse meetings, will hereafter become popular is settled
beyond controversy, and San Jose has done a good deal
towards accomplishing the end.

The

Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's
Association.

The Breeders of trotting horses on the Pacific Coast
can be congratulated that the association under the
above title is now fairly organized.

Furthermore, it is a fortunate circumstance that it
was established on broad grounds, and that in place of
the membership being restricted to a few, as some advo-
cated, all who have a fondness for the trotting horse are
eligible. The title may be claimed a misnomer, as some
are on the roll who cannot be classed as breeders, but so
long as they are of the right material in other respects,
that cannot be considered as a mark against them. In
point of fact it is an advantage, acting as a balance
wheel on those who are so rigidly bound by preferences,
and, perhaps, by prejudices, as not to be capable of
taking the soundest view of what should be done.

A few argued that membership should be confined to
those owning "breeding farms," and had this foolish
notion prevailed, there would have been certain failure.
It might be difficult to determine what should be consid-
ered a breeding farm.

There are half a dozen trotting horse "ranches" in Cal-
ifornia which so far overshadow all others, that there is
scarcely room for comparison, and yet there are hundreds
who may be classed as breeders of horses especially
intended for fast work in harness, and this number can
be multiplied several times over when the requirement
J8 so general as to include people who are interested in
trotters and trotting races.

Far better to have a membership of many hundreds,
which is likely to result from the qualifications fixed
upon at the late meeting, than a score, or less, which
would have been the limit under the iron-clad rule.
Better a hundred members with as light a fee for mem-
bership as that agreed upon, §25, than twenty willing to
pay a sum which would aggregate a larger amount.

In one case there is a certainty of popular support, in
the other there would be a feeling that the intention was
to create a monopoly, establish a trust which should
work for the benefit of the organizers, swallow the small
breeders, or at the best form them into a tail of a huge
kite which would keep them in perpetual shadow.

There is small ground to baBe a reason upon for restric.
tion. If benefits are to follow the organization of a
society for the promotion of the interests of small breed-
ers, there cannot be any possible chance of injuring the
larger, provided the latter class are willing to accept an
equal chance. But if the membership were restricted to
a few, and the usual conditions attached, that all colts
nominated in stakes, or entered in purses, gotten up by
the association, should be the get of stallions owned by
members, or ownership by members when entries were
made, then those who we. e not fortunate enough to own
or occupy the required number of acres would be ruled
out

In this connection it may be proper to advise, that
should a restrictive law be embodied in the code, that it
only apply to residents of that part of the country which
is termed the Pacific Coast, and that all outside of the
boundaries be admitted. It is unquestionably proper,
when membership is placed at so low a figure as $25,
that participants in the benefits snould assume their
share of the weight, when residence is within the
bounds.

Without that qualification there are people, and
people, too, who are largely interested, who would
refrain from joining when there was not a direct return
in view.

Judging from the past there is little likelihood of
nominations and entneH being received from the other
side of the mountains, and still less of members from
that quarter, but should there be men willing to enter
the lists, when the tilting ground is thousands of mileB

kaway, the association should give them a hearty welcome.

one of what may be termed courfesy to breeders who are
now residents of the Pacific Slope, though all are easily
managed if no disturbing influences are permitted at the
first. The danger most likely to be met will arise from
jealousy among prominent breeders, and with proper
guards that will be reduced to a minimum. There was
an informal discussion after the adjournment in relation
to naming stakes after individuals who would "add"
certain amounts to stakes which were thus christened,
or which took for a title the name of a horse selected by
the donor. It might be that pecuniarly the association
would be beretitted at first, and that men would be found
willing to stand godfather to a sufficient number of
stakes to fill the whole programme of a meeting. But
advertising men or their horses in this way will be sure
to raise a feeling of animosity, and those who cannot
afford to give as liberally as the wealthy division, or
who do not desire that kind of prominence, will object,
and discord will result in place of harmonious action.

It may be that precedents will be quoted to justify
that kind of nomenclature, and that a custom which has
prevailed since the first St. Leger was gotten up will
sanction a continuance. "With all possible reverence for
the past, and veneration for the old-time patrons of turf
sports, it may be as well to forsake some of the paths
they have marked, and though it would be decidedly
iconoclastic to rechristen the Derby, St. Leger, the
"Withers or Belmont, there is no necessity for adhering to
personal names, and fill a programme with appellations
which have little bearing on trotting affairs. There are
names in California which are "household words;" names
which are borne by men who have wonjthe respect and
admiration of their fellow citizens. There are others
who are equally entitled to respect and esteem to whom,
however, fortune has not been so gpnerous, and not hav-
ing been "blazoned by the Trump of Fame," the appro-
priateness of naming stakes after them would only be
recognized by their intimates.

When a stake v as given the name of the largest and
most successful breeder of trotters, not only in Califor-
nia, but also in the whole world it was certainly appli-
cable. More so from the fact that it was a departure
from the usual routine, and the consent of the "patron"
to have it so called, gave it a standing without an asso-
ciation to "back it." There was no necessity for exlana-
tion. The reasons for naming the largest three-year-old
trotting colt stakes were apparent at a glance, and if
there were thousands of men by the same name t'.iere
could be no "mistake to which it owned its designation.
In that case the name was an honor to the Btake, theie
might be instances when the prefix was, to say the least,
without meaning.

There was a short speech made by a delegate which
covers the whole ground, and though only one sentence
was employed brevity was not its only merit. That was:
"The objects of the Association are to further in every
way the best interests of trotting horse breeding in Cali-
fornia." The officers already chosen will do their utmost
to meet the wants of breeders, and gratify those who are
not in the ranks of breeders, but have a fondness for
trotting sports is beyond question. That they have the
ability is also acknowledged on all sides, and with a
directory of the same character, and which there will be
no trouble in securing, there could not be better prospects
for success.

The meeting which is to be held on Friday evening,
April 19th, should be fully attended. The report of the
committee on Rules and By-Laws will be ready to report,
and it is of the utmost importance that the ratification
should be endorsed by a full quota of members.

The secretary of the Exchange also writes to say that they
will hold a monster combination sale commencing June 3d
and continuing to June 13th. Parties desirous of making en-
tries shonld Fend in lists before May 1st, to ensure their ap-
pearing in the first catalogue.

DariDg the Blood HorBe Meeting, two thoroughbreds will
he sold at the Bay District track by their respective owners.
The first one to be offered will be the chestnut gelding Mc-
Cormick, by Don Victor, dam by Enquirer, whioh will be
sold on Saturday, April 20th. There will also be sold on
Thursday, April 25th, the or g Jack Pot by Joe Hooker, dam
Lugena. This will be a good chance for some one to buy
two good race horses at a very low tigure.

On Wednesday, April 24th, Messrs. Killip & Co. will sell at
public auction, without reserve, a magnificent lot of finely
bred trotting horses, the property of D. J. Moroby, Esq.
The sale will take place at Agricultural Park, San Jose, and
intending purchasers should attend in person as many bar-
gains will undoubtedly be picked up. The lot ronsists of the
get of Nutwood. Geo. II. Patchen Jr. Capt. Fisher, Ethan
Alien Jr. Whipple's Hambletonian, and other good sires, and
from grand producing dams. Catalogues are now ready and
can be had on application to Killip & Co-, 22 Montgomery
Street, San Francisco.

Improved Farm Machinery.

Mr. Byron Jackson, at 149-169 Bluxome Street, San Fran-
cisco, is doing much to lessen the drudgery of farm life by
offering ingenious constructions in the way of hay stackers,
rakes and bucks, and irrigating and harvesting appliances of
the most approved and recent models. His improved
"Eclipse" stacker has special advantages for stacking in
windy weather and for loading hay on wagons. The Jackson
"Acme" rake and buck combined does the work of all other
hay or horse rakes combined, and rakes cleaner than any
other.

The Stndebaker Brothers Manufacturing Co., are cele-
brated from one end of the country to the other for the
excellence of the carts and sulkies produced by them. The
firm has a reputation second to none, and it would be advis-
able for our readers who may want anything in that line to
give them a call at 201 Market Btreet, San Francisco. Messrs.
Studebaker & Co., are sole agents on this Coast for the
Frazier (or Chicago) cart which are very popular in the East
just at present. If you cannot cill at the warerooms per-
sonally, Bend for their catalogue of prices.

Auction Sales.

Messrs. Killip and Oo., have their hands full just at pres-
ent, the many breeders of California recognizing the fact that
this old reliable firm is the very best one in the business, are
sending in consignments for public sale, several of which
will take place in the near future.

J. B. Haggin is again in the field and announces through
Killip & Co., that on May 3d., he will sell at public auction
at the Bay District track, a large consignment of thorough-
bred riding horses, which should all find ready purchasers
as saddle horses are in great demand. "At the same sale there
will be road and harness, work and draft horses sold, in ad-
dition to a choice selection of Shetland ponies, al' of them
having been brad and raised on the Kancho Del Paso.

On Thursday, May 16th, the executor of the estate of the
late Seth Cook will have sold at the Bay District track, a
choice lot ol Galloway, Polled Aberdeen Angus, Devon and
Durham cattle. This selection will be, so it is claimed, the
finest collection of superior fancy bulls and cows, ever offered
for sale in California. This will be one chance in a decade
to secure choice cattle, and the breeders of the State should
take advantage of this opportunity.

The Missouri Horse Exchange insert an advertisement
this week notifying the public, that they will sell, by order
of Mr. T. T. Turner, of Normandy, Mo., at St. Louis on
Monday, June 3d, a choioe collection of imported and home
bred Shetland ponies, and also a magnificent lot of Standard
and thoroughbred trotters, numbering in all about sixty head.

is clwracteristic of the noted families from which he
descends His performances are too well known to
need repetition here. Goodjudges of horseB st te pos-

PERFORMANCES.

Memo only trotted in public in his two-year-old form,
obtaining a record of 2:19, though he w*s close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
ond heat of which was made in 2:31 J-j, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old,
and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he would have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20J£, and frequently
trotted quarters in from 32>< to 31 seconds.
DESCRIPTION.

He is nearly if not quite Bixteen hands high, and of
powerful build throughout. His color is a glossy black,
with both fore-feet white and a touch of white" on his
off hind qu-irters. His disposition is all that could be
desired, and hiB act'o-i suoerb.

Terms: One hundred dollars the season, which will
commence on the oth of February and close on the ist
of July. Due dre will be taken of mares, hut no
responsibility for accidents or escapes.

Mares taken and kept as desired by the owners, and
at reasonable rates.

Pasturage at $5 per month within the track enclos-
ure; feed first rate, and a living stream of water in the
field. There is a double protection against escape, as
in addition to a strong fence on the i side of the track,
the gates of the outer fence are enclosed at night,
which gives almost positive assurance of safety. Ad-

Gentlemen:- We have used Ossidine lor the past two years
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ring'bone
and Spavins; there ib notbing equals it; and for us it elfecred a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med br one of
the most successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommended it to others with like success, and believe if. b)-=

more merit than anv hi.«t>r o«o»"o—» .

Owner 01 Eole, St Saviour, Koli«i. etc. , says;
I have long used it in mv stables, and find it to be all
that is claimed for it in removing callous and unnatural
bony growths, without leaving the sl.ghtest blemish.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that- it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfully, ________

"Eclipse" Hay Stackers,

"Acme" Hay Rakes and Bucks,

IRRIGATING & HARVESTING MACHINERY,

ENGINES, BOILERS, PUMPS.

Jackson's Improved "Eclipse" Hay Stacker and Loader.
Mounted on Wheels. Weight, i,5«0 lbs. Price, si 00. Rakes are $5U each.

This is my standard stacker, and is, I think, an improvement on all others, as it is lighter,
stronger, and dumps the hay at any desired height, instead of carrying it all np over itself,
without regard to height of stjack. This latter point is quite important in stacking in windy
weather, as with the "Eclipse" the hay is only raised as high as necessary to dump it on the
stack, and is not scattered by the wind. The uprights of the "Eclipse" are made 28 feet
high, and this is as long as they can be shipped, and with them it will stack nearly or quite
that height, but the height it may be made to stack is really unlimited, as these uprights may
be spliced out as high as desired, and gayed with rope.

I make this machine under the "Acme" and Oliver patents. It is mounted on iron wheels,
and will build a stack 25 feet high.

"With the rakes the hay is taken from the swath, when cured , jnst as left by the mower, or
from the cock or windrow, if it is desired to rake it before it is cured sufficiently to stack;
and when the Kake is loaded it is driven to the Stacker, the rake-teeth entering between the
pitcher-teeth; the hay is pressed forward against the pitcher-head, the horses then .back the
Kake off, leaving the hay in a compact mass upon the pitcher, and return to the field for
another load. As soon as the Rake is out of the way, the horse attached to the pitcher rope
is started, elevating the load the desired height, when the latch-rope is pulled, and the hay
is dropped in the center of the stack, the horse is baoked up, the pitcher being brought back
to the ground by its own weight, ready for another load.

The "Eclipse" has speoial advantages for stacking in windy weather, and for loading hay,
etc., on wagons. It dumps the load at any desired height, from 5 to 25 feet, while it is
easily moved, quickly set, and amply strong.

Jackson's Improved "Acme" Rake and Buck Combined.

Weight, 650 lbs. Price, $50.

The above illustrates my latest-improved Kake. In it are embodied all the improvements
that my long experience with them in the field has suggested. They are first-class in design
and construction.

They are mounted on 34-inch patent iron wheels, with 4-inch tires, and have the improved
patent ratchet device, which enables the driver to easily raise the heaviest load without
leaving the very comfortable spriDe seat in which he rides. The swing fence automatically
discharges the load when the team backs.

It does the work of all other Hay or Horse Kakes, viz., wire rakes, sulky rakes, revolving
rakes, buck rakes and "go-devils." It rakes from the swath, and leaves the hay in large
bunches at once, requiring no hand-work. One man and two horses will keep up with two
mowers, following the mower as soon as the hay is wilted enough to be raked clean with any
rake. It rakes cleaner. The hay will oure quicker without bleaching by dew or sun. Very
large bunches can be made by pushing two or more rukefuls into one.

If raked and bunched by my Improved "Acme" Rake, the hay ib in very much better
shape to reload and deliver on the Stacker evenly and level (loading the rakes all they will
carry to the stack), and spreads well over the stack, saving labor in stacking, because it has
not been tangled, as it is when gathered with the sulky or revolving rake. It also saves
waste of leaves and seeds, and gathers the hay clean of trash, such as old stubble, stalks and
lumps of dirt. Bear in mind that windrowing hay with any rake is labor thrown away, and
is detrimental to the neat and most economical working of the "Acme" Hay Harvesting
Machinery.

First on the list of trotters comes the queen of the turf, the
$40,000 purchase of Kobert Bonner from the late W. R.
Vanderbilt. Maud S. early showed an ability to trot fast,
and with the exception of the short day for which Jay-Eye-
See held the supremacy her mark has been the object for the
attack of the whole trotting world for years. Maud S is by
Harold, by HambletonianlO, from Enchantress, by Abdallah,
and has the blood lines which hare produced almost all that
are known in the trotting world as phenomenal performers.
She has been owned by gentlemen who would not let her
campaign, and it has long been the opinion of the best judges,
diiya the Boston Globe, that she could lower her mark any
time during the paBt three years. Maud S. was foaled in
1874, and is now fifteen years old. She was eleven when
Bhe made her record, and iB to-day, in the opinion of her
owner, faster than ever before.

There are thirteen horses living that have trotted in 2:15
or better, and the average age of the lot when they have

attained their maximum SDeed ib 7.923. This is do criterion
of the age at which a horse is at his beBt, for it can be seen |
by reference to the table that during 18SS six horses made a i
record which it is reasonable to suppose will be lowered as \
they mature.

The horses which have shown extreme trotting speed at an
early age have been Patron, Jay- Eye-See, Kosaline "Wilkes,
Belle Hamlin and Stamboul. All outBide of Patron beat 2:15
as six-year-olds. Jay-Eye-See made his record in 1884, and
is now eleven years old. Belle Hamlin trotted her fast mile
in 1887, and was not worked out last season to such an
extent. Kosaline Wilkes and Stamboul showed their speed
last season, and Stamboul has probably been given all the
track work he will ever have. Next in order come Cling-
stone and Prince Wilkes, all within a quarter of a second of
each other. ClingBtone was foaled in 1875, and is, therefore,
a year younger than Maud S. Patron has been in the Btud
since his wonderful appearance in 1887, and to Prince Wilkes
falls the prospective honor of disputing the supremacy with
Maud S. This great youngster is thought by horsemen to
be the fastest tiotter living, and his breeding warrants the
assumption. His mark was obtained last August at Cleve-
land in a race. He is by Ked Wilkes, and his dam is by
Mambrino Chief. His sire has shown the potency of the old
Wilkes strain. Up to last year Prince Wilkes had shown 29
heats better than 2:30, and his mark of 2:16 when he opened
last season's campaign was easily broken. He has demon-
strated his ability to train on, and this year will be a great
horse.

Guy was the sensational horse of last seasoD. He is third
in all the list of fast trotters, and even at that looked as if he
were to encroach on the lines shown by the little black son
of Dictator. He was comparatively unknown the year
before. He is now nine years of age.

Stamboul, the great son of Sultan, is one of the three trot-
ting stallions now living that have gone better than 2:15,
Stamboul is seven years of age, by a great sire out of a well
bred dam, whose only produce have been fast or producers
of speed. Stamboul is a grand instance of the advance of the
trotter. As it is an acquired gait, the best son of a sire
should be a better horse than his father, and it is to this
principle that such breeders as Backman, Bose and Stanford
owe their prominence. Arab is noted as the purchase of
John Shepard, the well known Bostonian. He will be used
as a roadster, though should he be seen on the circuit piloted
by that great reinsman, James Golden, it would not surprise
those who take interest in the sport.

The fastest clip ever Bhown at any gait recognized by the
the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders is the
2:06f of pacer Johnson, which was made in Chicago in 1884.
In connection with this it may be stated that the improve-
ment in trotting is more marked in recent years than in the
side wheel gait. Only two of the phenomenal marks were
made last season., these being by Arrow and Gossip Jr.

The long jump between Johnson and the next in order is
one which four years of work has not served to lesson. Not
a single one of the full 27 date their performance beyond
1879, and of the number eight were not foaled when Rowdy
Boy made his record.

In the alphabetical list at the head of this article appear
the names of 27 of the fastest horses living. Of the number
16 are geldings, eight are mares and only three are stallions.
There are two fast ones of the latter class which are not
included. These are Maxie Cobb, 2:134. (dead), and Phallas,
2:13|, who is in the Btud.

The improvement in the track could not be attested by
any statement of facts to such an extent as a careful study of
the table will show. The better to testify to the work of
progress the accompanying statement of the record at differ-
ent decades since 1800 may be found interesting.

From 1800 to 1810 the only mark better than three minutes
was held by Yankee, and was made at Harlem, June IS, 1806.
Wallace claims that this mark was made on a short track.
From 1310 to 1S20 two horses got marks as good as three
minutes. One of these was Boston Blae, who, at Jamaica,
N. ¥., in 1818, trotted in three minutes flat. Eight years
prior to that Boston Horse went a mile in 2:48£.

In the next decade only long distance records were the
order, bat io the following 10 yearB Edwin Forrest trotted in
2:31£, while Sally Miller completed a mile in 2:37. Oneida
Chief pased a mile in 2:31, and in 1839 Dover got under the
wire in 2:28. The year 1S44 saw Lady Suffolk trot in 2:26A,
and Moscow, in 1845 got a heat in 2:30. The following three
years produoed no good record, while in 1849 Lady Sutton
trotted in 2:30 and James K. Polk paced in 2:27. In the
same year that Lady Suffolk made her record, the chestnat
gelding Unknown paced a mile in 2:23.

Between the years 1850-60 Flora Temple flourished as the
greatest living trotter. In 1&59 she made her great 2:19f
record, which stood till 1S67, when Dexter cut it down by two
and a half seconds. 1852 the roan gelding Pet paced a mile
in 2:18.4, and a year after Dexter made his record Billy Boyce
paced in 2:144;. St. Julien made the mile in 2.13;}, which
supplanted Dexter, and the present 10 years is shown in the
above table. In St. Julien's time Sleepy Tom, 2:12}, and
Kowdy Boy, 2:13:}-, were the great pacers. Thus gradually
succeeding years have witnessed the growth of the American
trotter from the time when three minutes was the greatest
speed attained.

The fastest stallions by records that have ever lived are
Maxie Cobb, Phallas, Patron and Brown Hal (the pacer).
Mares are Maud S., Belle Hamlin, Goldsmith Maid and Trin-
ket; geldings, Jay-Eye-See, St. Julien, Barus and Harry
Wilkes.

Of the horses above mentioned, some enjoy some special
distinction. Maud S. not only has the fastest mile on rec-
ord, but bus the best mark in a race, 2:13£, and with Aldine
has the record (double) against time, 2:15.'., The record
(double) in a race is held by Arab and Conde, 2:18:} . John-
son is the fastest pacer against time and in a race to wagon.
Westmont, 2:13T, has a mark of 2:01£ with running mate
against time.

It is interesting to note that since 1830 the side wheelers
have always led the van. They have had the best of the
gait from first to last. Oneida Chief beat Edwin Forrest's
time. The gelding Unknown beat Lady Suffolk's record.
Pet and Pocahontas were faster than Flora Temple. Billy
Boyce and Yankee Sam were faster than Dexter. Sleepy
Tom paced a mile at a quicker gait than St. Julien could
trot it, and now Johns!on has two seconds and a half the bet-
ter of Maud S.

The yearling class has three prominent representatives.
The Brat and greatest is Norlaine, by Norval, from Elaine.
She trotted a full mile in 1887 in 2:3U. Sudie D., the
daughter of Fanny Clay, by Sherman Hambletonian, has
shown a mile in 2:35$, while Hinda Kose, by Electioneer,
dam Beautiful Belle, by the Moor, has 2:36A to her credit at
this age. Sunol is the most wonderful two-year-old the
world has ever seen, and her 2:18 is by far the greatest per-
formance of last season. Sable Wilkes has 2:18 as a tbree-

year-old, and there are others in the 2:30 list. The four-
year-olds are a large body, and as five-year-old performers
Jay-Eye-See 2:10, and Patron, 2:1 1J, take the lead.

The Blood Horse Association-

Last Monday night the Directors of the Pacifio Coast Blood
Horse Association met at the Palace Hotel to conclude final
arrangements, prior to the coming meeting. M. F. Tarpey
was in the chair, the others present being Ariel Lethrop,
Col. H. I. Thornton, P. A. Finigan and Joseph C. Wolf-
skill, the absentee being J. B. Haggiu, who is in Europe at
present. The opening business waB the consideration of the
bids for the bookmaking privileges, there being qnite a num-
ber who had made application for the right. After some
discussion the board awarded the privilege to the San Fran-
cisco Bookmakers Association, for the sum of 51,000 per
day. It was stated that the Association would grant to
responsible outside "bookies" the right to ply their business
on payment of a fee which was to be named later on. As
usual the poolselJing was relegated to the firm of S. B. White-
head & Co., they agreeing to pay over to the Directors, 70
per cent, of the gross commission.

On the conclusions of the "penciling" business, the meet-
ing talked over necessary improvements in the manner of
manageing track affairs, and many decided improvements
were agreed upon. Hereafter all jockeys will carry a number
on the arm next to the grand stand corresponding with the
number on the programme, so that spectators can tell at a
glance, what the name of the horse is; there are several
stables that have colors so near alike that mistakes have
frequently occured in trying to distinguish one horse from
another.

Another innovation, carried on motion of P. A. Finigan,
was, that hereafter m liquor shall be allowed in the judges
stand. It is therefore presumed that the gentlemen officia-
ting in the stand will have but few callers. Three of the
directors have full authority to appoint judges, timers, etc.,
J. C. Wolfskill, of Solano, being the member of the board se-
lected as one of the judges for the entire meeting, to repre-
sent the association in the stand. A saddling paddock will
be arranged just inside the inner rail and no outsiders onder
any consideration will be allowed therein. No person will
be allowed on the stand unless he be connected with some
one of the Btables. The reporters' stand will be kept ex-
clusively for working newspaper men and only those having
a reporters badge will be allowed to pass the guardian, who
will have charge of the steps leading up to the stand. Each
day a director will have charge at the gate to supervise and
control the employes, who handle the money and take the
tickets, while another of the members of the Board will
superintend matters in front of the stand and weighing room.

A proposition was laid before the Board relative to the race
programmes issued on each day of the meeting, the Breeder
and Sportsman offering to provide correct cards of the various
events and distribute them free of charge to the patrons of
the association. On motion the proposal was accepted, the
idea of free programmes striking the Board as an excellent
suggestion. We were actuated in this move by a desire to
return, in a slight degree, the many obligations which we are
indebted for to the members of the association who have so
generously assisted us in the past in trying to forward the
interests of this paper, and establishing it as the turf author-
ity of the great Pacific CoaBt.

Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher was'appointed to the very
thankless position of starter, but he is made of the stuff that
will be obeyed, and the masses will undoubtedly be pleased
when the flag falls for each race, for Mr. Meagher will use
every precaution to see that all the horses get an equal start.
Mr. Harry Lowden, as usual, was selected as superintendent
of the track and clerk of the course. His work we all know
will be well done.

Spanish Charley.

Sible, the jockey who rode Galgo in the race against Dave
Douglas on Friday haB an interesting history, sayB the Los
Angeles Tribune. He is known throughout Southern Califor-
nia as "Spanish Charley," and is the oldest jockey in Califor-
nia, and in the United States, with probably one or two excep-
tions. It is twenty years since Sible rode in this city last,
and there are few in Los Angeles who remember "Spanish
Charley, " the celebrated jockey in the pioneer or golden days .
It was Sible who rode Salaya in the matoh race against
Mountain Boy at San Juan, in which over $60,000 was de-
pendent upon the result. Salaya won the race in 1:43 in the
year 1S69. Sible has lived in Central America for the past
twenty years, and gave the writer considerable information
about racing in that faraway country.

"I have been training horses for Mr. Edwards, the Minister
of Finance of Santiago," said Spanish Charley to Dagwoith.
"He is a millionaire and owns a large ranch. The Ensays is
the principal race in Chili. It is worth about $5000 and
corresponds with the Derby in this country. The Pineba is
for four year-olds, and the Final for five-year-olds and up-
wards. La Capa, or Cup, is a weight for age race, but a dif-
ferent scale is in vogue in Chili. It is modeled more Hfttr
the English plan, with the American sr a'e of weights. There is
very little betting on the laces at Santiago. The trainer and
driver generally receives the balk of the winnings as the
patronbof races dowutbere just racefcr tbesporl. WheDlfir t
went to Santiago I brought a string of horses with me fium
Amerioa. and won nearly all the big races with them. Lady
Washington, by Woodburn, won a mile race in 1:42*, which
is the fastest time ever made in that part of the country."

"I trained By-the-Sea in the race against Catamamn at
Lima Peru in 1874. The match was for $50,000 with ge tie-
men riders up. By-the-Sea was imported from the States.
He won the race with 124 pounds up, and mado the mile iu

1:43*.

"Sible trained for Tom Mott in 1858 and 1859 at the old
Los Angeles track, which was distant about a mil'1
half from the center of the town. He also train"!
lor Theodore Winters in '63, '04 and '65."

the mile in 1:41 J, and Nerva in 1:413.

In regard to the forfeits against Susie S., to tbe credit of
the horsemen, I think the following should be published
instead of what was printed in your last issue:

Before the races at San Jose, it was understood by general
consent, that whoever woo the races would not hold the
forfeits against Mr. Stephenson, and the following gentle-
men having won the races on which Mr. Stephenson was
entered destroyed the forfeits; Mr. B. P. Ashe, two forfeits;
Mr. C. V. Tupper, one forfeit, and Mr. H. Stover, one for-

The Wonderful Arab, 2:15.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— There is no subject of
national interest in which the public has been so villianously
deceived as in that of the breeding of our trotting performers.
The most barefaced frauds have been perpetrated over and
over again, and allowed to pass into history without protest.
I have watched this rascally effort to befool the public in
regard to the true breeding of this wonderful horse very
closely, and am satisfied that the word of the breeder should
be taken in the matter.

The letter of Mr. F. S. Malone, which appears in the issue
of February 23d of your valued paper, I am carefully pre-
serving for future use. It bears on its face convincing evi-
dence of a very deep-seated indignation that, having bred the
horse himself, his testimony Bhould be disputed for the pur-
pose of making capital for a "stud hosB" that never Baw the
dam of Arab. And your comments, Mr. Editor, on Mr.
Malone's letter bear conclusive evidence of a very deep-seated
indignation and diBguat on your part with the whole villain,
ons affair. I have watched every isBue of your valued
paper since Mr. Malone's letter appeared, to find a reply to
his letter, but he has evidently silenced the whole gang.

When Arab first demonstrated his wonderful powers you
gave his breeding as follows: Sired by Electioneer, dam Lady
Heroules by imp. Hercules; second dam Nettie George by
Norfolk, son of Lexington. It now appears that General
Benton was his sire. That mistake is unimportant, however,
the breeding of the mother oi such a wonder is of vastly more
interest at the present day than that of the sire. Your able
and interesting correspondent, Mr. Peck, says (aDd truly
Bays), that the mare is Bixty per cent, of the foal. Had he
made it Beventy-five he would havo been nearer the truth.

These fellows attempted to carry water on both shoulders,
as you must have noticed, as while this fight about the pater-
nity of Arab was going od, his dam was suddenly trans-
formed into a "myth" called Lady Hamilton, "breeding
unknown." It is perfectly Bafe to say that this Lady Hamil-
ton never had an existence, and you know, and I know, and
everyone knowing a horse from a jackass, knows that it is a
physical impossibility for a cold blooded mare to produce
such a wonder to the cover of any stallion of any breeding
whatever that ever lived, much less a "stud hoss" that never
possessed the ability to "run" a mile in 2:15 and carry a
monkey. I Bee that a trio of "omniscient" censors in New
York have decided "by the evidence" that Arab was sired by
Arthurton (son of Bysdyk's Hambletonian), and his dam
Lady Haiilton, breeding unknown.

ThiB, I believe, is the same trio of brilliants who assuming
infinite knowledge, decided that the dam of Pilot Jr. (whose
breeding had stood undisputed for nearly forty years) was
unknown — and not one of whom possessed sufficient gump-
tion to disoover that it was simply the entering wedge to a
gauzy scheme to destroy the pedigree of Maud S , she being
a fearful black eye to the "not a drop of running toolishnesB
in the trotter" doctrine — and not until the attempt to prove
Sally BuBsel a "dunghill," did they get their eyes open to
the true inwardness of the scheme.

Now, Mr. Editor, unless it can be shown that the dam of
this trotting wonder was a "winged prostitute," flying to the
embraces of every stallion on the Pacific slope, this whole
affair is an insult to an intelligent public. What is the
meaning of all this tomfoolery about the breeding of thiB
particular horse? That somebody bred him is certain — Mr.
Malone says he bred him, can it be shown that he was not
hiB breeder? If not, is it not a piece of Bublime impudence
for a trio of plyant tools three thousand miles away to assume
infinite knowledge, and tell the world how he was bred?
They know as much about hie breeding as my canary, and
not one whit more. We want no more Dexter and Gold-
smith Maid trioks (to say nothing of the hundreds of other
lies), to pass into history as truth.

Of Mr. Malone I know absolutely nothing. HiB letter,
however, has the ring of the true metal, and inasmuch as no
one has replied to him he has evidently told the truth. In
your notice of his recent Bale, you give hie breeding the same
as at first, viz: By Electioneer, dam a thoroughbred daugh-
ter of Imp. Hercules. This Mr. Malone says is correct as to
the dan, but that General Benton, (and not Electioneer) was
his sire.

Hrt'i this horse been an oidinary performer insiead of ore
tf t..e greatest combinations of speed and ^a ulna that the

world has ever seen, we could have afforded to allow his
bogus pedigree to be added to the hundreds of other bare-
faced lies with which the regiBter abounds, but to he asked to
believe that the trotting wonder is the result of the union of
any stallion with a "nothing" is simply an insult to an in-
telligent public. . .

There has been sufficient perjury committed in regard to
the breeding of this horse to sink the whole Pacific Slope.
Walter T. Chester, of the Turf Field Farm, in his complete
2:30 list has got him by Arthurton, dam Lady Hamilton by
Ethan Alien— next —

Until this trio of WiseacreB undo what they have done in
this matter, they will have a buzzing about their ears that
will be anything but pleasant.

Wallace gives the dam of Joe Arthurton as said to be by
Langford. Was she also a winged prostitute?

How to Peed Horses.

ThoBe who have examined the Btomach and bowelB of the
horse and the ox are aware that the former is not one quarter
the capacity of the latter. Physiologists and anatomists in-
form us that the stomach of a horse will hold about sixteen
quarts and the intestines a hundred and nine quarts, while
the Btomach of an ox will hold two hundred and fifty quarts
and the intestines only one hundred quarts. Considering
digestion takes place in the stomach of each, it is important
to know how each should be fed. Food paeseB from both
animals frequently undigested, aDd it were well to know the
cause in both cases. The ox chews a cud, i. e., maBticates
the food the second time. Consequently, such food as re-
quires the most maBtication should be given him last, or just
before his hours of rest and repose. And thus it is that when
corn is fed him in the morning, just before turning out to
pasture, or the first thing in the evening, before hiB rough
food or that containing lees nutriment is given him, the
former is seldom if ever sufficiently masticated, aDd so passes
out of the system with much of its nutritive qualities still in
it. With the horse the thing is quite different. The mas-
tication ia all done at one and the same time, and therefore
it is important that the strongest and most concentrated food
be given him first, so that the digestive organs may have
time to act upon it. The stomach only holds a certain
amount of food, with the neoessary quantity of saliva, (gener-
ally about four times the weight of the food) to aid in its
digestion. And if he is fed with hay immediately after eat-
ing hiB oats or cam, the latter iB forced out of the Btomach
into the intestines before its full strength is '.appropriated
by the system, and so passes out with much of its nutritive
qualities still retained. So with watering a horse immediate-
ly after eating hiB oats or corn, the latter is forced along
before it baa been properly digested. The stomach of all
domestic animals is an intricate laboratory, worthy the
research of the best minds. Notwithstanding which a large
class of feeders act bb if there was a straight channel through
the animal, and therefore think that one who is capable of
feeding a threshing machine is just as well qualified to feed
horses and cows; whereas really in the latter case, the field
of thought and experiment is bo large that much of the time
now spent in idleness could be profitably employed in learn-
ing tbe habits and requirements of our domestic animals,
teaching the Bame to our sons and employes who do the
feeding.— Clark's Review.

How to Get a Mare in Foal.

A correspondent writes the Rural World as follows on a
Bubject of importance to breeders:

"Sometimes it is difficult to get mares to breed. It may be
they are valuable mareB, and mares with splendid pedigrees,
and their foals would command high prices if bred to good
sires. There is scaroely a breeder that has not one or more
mares to trouble him this way. The writer had a mare of
this kind that he had purchased for breeding purposes, by
Ethan Allen, and out of a fast pacing mare. She was somewhat
advanced in years, and for four years I had tried to get her
in foal. I had bred her to different stallions. She would
periodically come in season, and was as regularly bred, re-
ceiving one, and perhaps two services at each of Buoh
period's. Believing that she was permanently barren, I was
trying to dispoae of her at a merely nominal sum. Being at
Kalamazoo, Mich., about a year ago, inspecting tbe trotting
stock of S. A. Browne & Co., of that city, I was telling him
of my trouble with this mare — that I had tried for years to
get her in foal, and that I was confident she would never
breed.

Mr. Browne — who, by the way, I consider one of the best
horsemen in the United States and one of the cleverest of
gentlemen— Baid to me, 'Send her to me, and I will see that
she gets in foal.' He said he had a number of just such
cases, and he had never failed to get them to breeding; but
I was so positive that it could not be done that I would not
send the mare to him. I asked him, however, what he would
do to cause her to breed, and he said it might be necessary
to insert the hand to open the passage-way of the womb, if
closed, which horsemen understand, at the time she came in
season, and then let the stallion cover her once a day during
her entire period of heat, and the mare would be almost cer-
tain to conceive; that sometime during the period the egg
that is deposited would become fertilized, aDd the mare in
due oomse of time would have a foal. He said that he had
never failed to succeed in this way. I received this informa-
tion last January a year ago, and immediately wrote to my
superintendent to try the experiment the first time the mare
came in season. She did oome in season the 1st of February,
and the stallion was bred to her for five days in succession,
when she refused him, and on the 5th of January of this
year, she dropped a fine horse foal, and both are doing well.
By not having thiB information I had kept this mare for four
years at heavy expense, and had wasted time and effort to
accomplish a result which could have been very easily ob-
tained at any single period of heat, probably, during that
four years. I shall feel under laating obligations to Mr. S.
A. Browne for the information ho gave me."

A few days ago a self-made man and a mule met in Fresno,
Bays the Republican. The self-made man was a veteri-
nary Burgeon, he said, but the mule was sick and said nothing.
The doctor prescribed a large able-bodied pill for the mule,
about the Bize of an English walnut, composed of aloes,
TurkiBh rheubarb, jalop aDd a few other motive powers.
He hauled the mule out in a back alley and endeavored to
blow the portion down the mule's throat by meanB of a tin
tube about two feet long. The doctor will probably be. able
to get around town in a pale and dilapidated state about ten
days from the appearance of this issne. The mule blowed

What ia the pedigree of a bay colt by Mr. Winters in 18SI
or 82, by Joe Hooker, dam Laura Barnes?

Answer. — The only colt Laura Barnes ever had was brown
iu color, foaled in 1879, and was called Reel Terry; he was
by California. In all other years from 1S7G to 1885, her pro-
duce were fillies.

Burbeck and Copeland, National City, Cal.

Will you be kind enough to send us what you can of the
pedigree of Bertie Hayward? Also records of ancestors?

Answer — Bertie Hayward, foaled 1880, by Billy Hayward,
2:31ir, he by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., 2:27; 1st dam Poscora
Maid by Leonard's Poscora, son of old Poscora; 2d dam
Scotty by Horner'B Black Hawk. Bertie Hayward is a fuli
brother to Poscora Hayward, record 2:23$.

A constant breeder.

By giving the following information you will greatly oblige.
Please give name and pedigree of a stallion brought from
New York to Stockton about eight or ten years ago, and was
poisoned shortly before one of the annual agricultural fairs
held there.

Answer — We have no record of such a horse, and on the
question being sent to J. L. Phelps of the Stockton Indepen-
dent, and J. SI. LaRue, they both say that the closest of
inquiries fails to reveal any such an occurence having taken
place there.

T. W. Barstow.

Please publish the pedigree of Jennie Noyes and her record
if Bhe has any.

Answer — It has been supposed for many years that Jennie
Noyes was bred in San Mateo county, and was by Belmont,
or a son of Belmont, but late investigation determines the
foct that Bhe was bred in New Jersey. Wbile at present she
stands "pedigree untraced," it is to be hoped that before
long it will be cleared up. Her record is 2:40 made March
15, 1865.

A Regular Reader.

Will you kindly answer the following "question through
the columns of your valuable paper:

A hires from B a brood mare for bieediog purposes for two
seasons, the mare at the time being guaranteed to be with
foal. She had her colt Aug. I, 1888, and was bred again in
eight or nine days afterward. In February, 1889, B notifies
A that the mare is not with foal and proposes to breed her at
once on his own account, leaving A out. If the mare had
gotten with foal as soon after her colt of Aug. 1888, as possi-
ble, she could not have had a second colt before about July
10, 1889. Has B any right, legal or moral, to breed the
mare before that time without A's consent?

Answer — No.

D. E. F.

Please answer through your columns the following quep-
tions: (1) Pedigree of Rifleman; (2) Pedigree of Geo. M.
Patchen Jr.; (3) Is there a horse by tbe name of Dave, who
has a record of 2:23£ or thereabouts, and what is hiB breed*
ing. I think he made bis record in Sacramento.

Answer— (1) Rifleman, br c, foaled 1855 by imp. Glencoe,
dam Rodclph mare by Rodolph; 2d dam Butterfly by Sump-
ter; 3rd dam by imp. Buzzard, etc. (2).Geo. M. Patchen Jr.,
sometimes called California Patchen, bay horse, foaled 185-,
by Geo. M. Patchen 30, dam Belle by Top Bellfounder; 2d
dam a Hoot-a-Laddie mare. (3) We have no knowledge of
the horse you allude to, and certainly no such record was
ever made at Sacramento.

Ben Allison.

Please answer the following questions in your valuable
columns. (1) When did Williamson's Belmont die? (2)
What is Belle Alta's record, when and where made, and
name of owner at that time?

Answer. — (1) Belmont was foaled in the spring of 1847,
and died July 4, 1865. (2) We do not know hiB record, bat
he trotted a race at San Jose in September, I860, in 3:00j,
distancing his field in the first heat. It was for three-year-
olds, and the track was very heavy and deep, cauBing 6low
time to be made. He was owned at that time by Martin
Mendenball, of Livermore. After the race mentioned above,
Mr. W. M. Williamson, of San Jobo, offered the owner of
Belle Alta $3,500 for the colt, but the offer was refused. It
is from Mr. Williamson's information that we are enabled to
furniBh the above.

A Subscriber.

Will you kindly let me known in your next issue what are
the performances of Geo. Oyster aud Judge Murray, entered
for the Suburban Handicap, and if the first named has gone
amiss in anyway during the past year. Also, who owns
Judge Murray, and at what distance did he beat Raceland
and Los Angeles, and in wbat time?

Answer. — Geo. Oyster started as a two-year-old 16 times,
winning 6. As a three year-old he started 11 times, winning
once only. It is a hard matter to decide whether a horse has
gone amies when he is started right along, but if an indi-
vidual opinion is of any benefit to yon, the writer would
state that George Oyster was not in such good form late in
the season aa he was in early summer. Judge Murrav is the
property oi G. H. Kernaghan; started 13 times last year and
won 5 races. The race to which you allude was a mile and a
quarter; Judge Murray 1 18 pounds, Lob Angeles 1 13 pounds,
I aud Raceland 115 pounds. Time, 2:12J.

(1) Was Three Cheers at Smoke Creek, which is probably
in Lassen, Modoc, or near there? (2) What is the pedigree
and performance of Copperhead, a trotter?

Answer.— Three Cheers was at Madeline Plains, with a
lot of common mares about 1S83, and it is jost possible that
he was at Smoke Creek. (2) The Copperhead you allude to
is probably the one P. Goodhue had, that trotted in San
Francisco and Marysville in 1871. There is no pedigree
given for him, and his record is 2:35f .

Racing1 at Los Angeles-

The threatening weather kept many from attending Aeri-
cullural Park on Thursday, April 11th, the thir.l day of the
Spring Meeting. In more races than one the talent received
a set back, which was the occasion of a great deal of kicking
by those who were supposed to understand the merits of tho
various horses. The first event of the day was the Inaugural
Bweeps-Ukts, for three-year-olds, for which there were only
four starters, the favorite being a Joe Hooker colt called
Louis P., entered in the name of Albert Cooper. E J. Bald-
win's Gladiator had a little support, while Liiliti and Hot-
spur were almost friendless. Two or three false starts were
made before the flag fell, which when it did was to a good
send off, except in the case of Baldwin's Liiliti, who acting
meanly at the pole was almost three lengths to the bad, when
the field got the word. "When well underway the Santa
Anita mare took it into her head to do a bit of running, and
developed a rare turn of speed much to the astonishment of
the spectators, who fancied she was no good, but Louis P.
had forged so far ahead that the mare could not catch him,
but came in second, Hotspur beating Gladiator out by a nose
for third place.

SUMMARY.
First race— Running: Inaugural sweepstakes for three-year-olda and
upwards, of $i!0 each, half forfeit, with $I5u added, the second horse

The second race gave the "short horses" a chance, it being
a half mile and repeat. As a natural consequence Gladstone
was a hot favorite, and he won both h6ats handily, Alaho
pressing him for a short distance in the first heat.

for the money, so he had a walk-over.

Gentleman's roadsters were next given a chance to air
themselves, there being three of them to contend for the
money. It was the universal notion that Mr. Covarrubias'
chestnat gelding, had no opposition for first money and he
was played in the pools for a very large amount by the talent,
he selling at two to one over the field. Charlie D. won the
first heat with ease but the second one was captnred by
Pond Lily afcer a lively brush down the homestretch, while
the third heat was also taken by the mare much to the cha-
grin of those who had gambled so recklessly on the gelding.
Kicking was the order of the day and to appease the crowd,
"Walters was taken from behind Charlie D., and Mr. Williams
given an opportunity to display his talent. In the fourth
heat Pond Lilly got a very bad send off, being over two
lengths behind, when they were sent off. The favorite was
never in danger of losing this heat as Williams handled him
beautifully winning by about three open lengths. For the
fifth and last heat, a better send off was given, and the mare
went to the front almost immediately, never being headed
winning, as she pleased by several lengths.

FOURTH DAY, FRIDAY, APRIL 12th.

There was a decided improvement in the weather and the
attendance was much larger than on any previous day. The
association so far have had to contend against the elements,
which will surely mean a pecuniary loss, which is much to
be regretted, as the contests have been of a high order, and
every effort has been put forward by the officers and mem-
bers to make the meeting a success. The backers of the
favorites again had a sorry day, the "first choices" for the
runri'.ig'r u ;ea both being beaUn.

The initial race of the day was the dash of five-eighths for
the Lullaby Stakes for two- year-olds, for which event five
youngBters appeared. The Wildidle-Dnchess filly was a
pronounced favorite, but Rettie B. had many admirers who
backed up their faith with plenty of money, while the Bald-
win stable still found a few supporters notwithstanding the
run of bad luck it had had. The childrenwere very fractious at
tho post, and there was considerable delay before the flag
fell, Atalanta having a little the best of the send off.

As they went down the back stretch it looked a very open
race, but on rounding in toward home, the Santa Anila entry
was a couple of lengths to the good. Clifford on the Duchess
filly now made a punishing race of it, but was unable to
over take Atalauta, who won by a short head. As the stable
had sold for $10 in pools of $50 and $60 the "short enders"
were corresponding happy.

SUMMARY.
First race — Running; Lullaby stakes, for two-year-olds; .purse $200;
of which $50 to the second; distance, five-eighths of a mile.

Those who had lost heavily on the last race now plunged
with a vengence on Louis P., bis running of the day before
being enough to convince the majority that he was in very
moderate company, and could win easy. Pools sold about
as follows: Louis P. $60, Santa Anita stable $20, G. W. $13,
Naicho B. $15, John Treat $4. The field waB sent away to
a fairly good start, the colors of Naicho B. being the first to
show in front. At the half the entire party were nearly
bunched, with the nose of Louis P. just ahead of his field,
all going at a clinking pace. As they turned into the stretoh
it was seen that the terrific pace was beginning to tell on
the leaders and they gradually fell back, Devoy on Treat,
keeping the horse with the unknown pedigree at the same
gait which he had maintained throughout. Although the
jokeys tried their utmost Treat would not be denied, and
won very handily by about three lengths, much to the
admiration of the local betters who had played their small
change on the Los Angeles horse.

The concluding race of the day was a trotting contest for
the 2:25 class and had six starters. Pool sold Belle B., $10;
Oliver J., $3; What Ho, $2; Pond Lily, $2; Field, $2.

The first heat was won by What Ho after a sharp finish
with Belle B. Pond Lily, the winner of the trotting race on
Thursday, captured the second heat, with great ease, while
Belle B. bad no trouble in taking the third heat. It being
now too dark to finish the race it was postponed until next
day.

SIXTH DAY— SATURDAY, APRIL 13TH.

Owing to fine weather and the great interest manifested
by all classes in the races, due to the grand contests of the
week, a very large attendance was present on this, the last
day of the meeting. The card showed a Bpecial trot as the
first event of the day, the contestants being Oliver J. and
Glendine, whose owners had made a match race for their
horses. Mr. Felton's entry was far from being as fast as his
opponent, who ably driven by Knap McCarthy, won as
he pleased.

SUMMARY.

The CoDBoIatian Purse brought three starters to the post,
the purse offered being S200, and Mr. Baldwin was lucky
enough to carry off the premium with Gladiator. Brown,
who rode the winner, made awaiting race of it until well
down the homestretch, when he set sail and rapidly passed
his oppouents, makiDg the mile and 40 yards in 1:47.

SUMMARY.
Third Race— Running; purse of $200; couBolatiou race for horses
that have never made better than third. Distance, one mile forty

The finest racing meeting ever held in Southern California
was brought to a conclusion with a double team trotting race
for horses that had never beaten 2:30. Ex-Sheriff Covarru-
bias was an easy victor with his team in three Btraight heats,
the others being far too slow to make the race an exciting
one. In the second heat the team of Mr. Norlham waB dis-
tanced.

SUMMARY.

Fourth Race-Trotting; double team; free for all; to horses that

The postponed race of yesterday was trotted early in the
day, Belle B. proving the winner, What Ho getting second
money and Jennie B. third. The meeting in its entirety was,
from a racing standpoint, a grand success, and it is to be
hoped that the association did not lose any money, the bad
weather during the early part of the weet preventing many
frGm attending that would otherwise have gone.

One of the best betting races of the meeting now ensued,
it being an all aged contest, three-quarter mile heats and had
only three starters, but the money flowed into the pool box
in showers. At the commencement of the betting Canny
Scot was installed favorite, but shortly before the start the
friends of Alaho made her the choice in the pools. The old
horse John Treat had a few followers, but it was only the
inducement of a long shot that tempted them to back the
grey. There was no delay at the start, the flag falling on
the first attempt. Canny Scot was the first to show in front,
Treat second, and before the eighth was reached, Alaho was
a length or more behind. The pace was hot from the start
to finish, and at the turn into the homestretch it looked as
though Alaho was out of the race, for she was more than
two lengths bdhind. West rode the mare like a veteran,
waiting until but little more than a furlong from the wire,
when he sent her with a rusb, beating out the other
two by the shortest of heads in 1 :15£. Soot and Treat were
tied for second place honors. Those who had placed their
confidence in Canny Scot now hedged on Alaho, and Treat
was almost forgotten in the hurry to back the Baldwin entry.
The second heat proved a regular boil over for the talent, as
Morine's grey gelding managed to get his nose in front of the
wire first, Alaho and Canny Scot being tied for second place,
after as close and exciting a finish as was ever Been on the
Coast. Treat was now the fancied one at the odds of $40 to
$10. Be acted rather badly at the post, but the pair got off
well together on the third attempt. Alaho had made such
running in the two first heats that she could not keep up
the gait, and Treat won in hollow fashion, time l:l7f.

The Los Angeles Derby next claimed attention, there being
five starters for this classic event, and it is safe to say that
never was a race won easier. All of the horses had sup-
porters and again money was lavishly thrown into the pool
box, the favorite being Naicho B., on what course of reason-
ing the chestnut colt had so many followers seemed a mys-
tery for on his performances of last year, he should have
been the least favored of the lot, but when he made his run-
ning it was then seen that a special preparation was the
cause of the strong tip that was out about him. Poor Four
Aces had a slight following, but they were meagre in num-
bers for the "foolishness" of the colt is well know. The
sports of Santa Barbara were out in force to back their fav-
orite Othello, who was deemed invincible by Mr. Den's
friends. There were also present many who always back the
colors of Santa Anita, and they plunged on Carrientes, while
the few knowing ones followed the fortunes of Dan Denison'a
stable and put their gold pieces on the horse, whose initials
stand for George Washington, or some one else.

The horseB were a trifle UDraly at the post, and it took
several attempts for Secretary Bodmau to get them off in
good shape. The never to be trusted Four Aces played his
hand at the start and took the lead, with the balance almost
on his flank, well bunched. Before the stand was reached,
Young Denison on G. W. took the lead and during the last
mile was never headed. Several attempts were made first
by one and then by another to make the leader quit, but
tbis grand son of Kyrle Daly would not be headed and won
handily by two lengths, Naicho B, managing to beat Car-
rientes out for the place.

The following horses arrived at the track last week: The
Golden Gate Stable's Laura Gardiner, Black Pilot, Asa, Pawn-
broker, Emma Nevada and Tom Hazlitt. Kelly & Samuels*
Ed McGinnis, Welcome, Lucifer and Bosebug. The Maltese
"Villa Stable's (stabled at "The Villa") Mozart, Geraldine,
Flood Tide, Mirope and Abdiel. C. "V. Tupper's Al Farrow,
Guido and Ito. T. F. Lynch's Jou Jon and Morton. Matt
Storn's Kildare and Glen Ellen. T. Bally's Little Phil. F.
Johnson's Reward. A. D. Harrison's Hello. John Reavey's
Bessie Shannon. Monroe Johnson's Joe MoCormick.

Most of the above are well known performers, and there-
fore do not require description. Asa (the property of Mr.
Stinson) is a three-year-old chestnut filly bred by Mr.
Haggin, by Longfield — Assyria. He requires more work
before she will be fit to race as do Hazlitt's two-year-olds,
Pawnbroker, ch c by Leinster — Belle of the Lake; Emma
Nevada, bay filly by John A., dam May D., and Tom Hazlitt,
a Wildidie colt. All of them are big, and require a few weeks
more work. Hennessey haB Lucifer, a big four-year-old who
haB run once or twice very badly, and Bosebug, a three-year-
old gelding by Jim Brown, who is like moat of Jim's get,
rather weedy but still speedy looking.

Mike Kelly has Mirope, a Hooker filly; she ran fairly at
San Jose, and is improving fast, and Abdiel, Jocko— Cousin
Beggy, a half brother to Geraldine, a good looking bay,
though not quite as blood like as Geraldine; he had a cold,
and has been doing little or no work for some time, and will
not start before the Sacramento meeting.

Tom Bally's Little Phil ran twice last year (as a two-year-
old), never being in the hunt. Boyle has a two-year-old
brother to him, Morton, who looks fairly well. Beavey's
Reward will be Tecognized as the two-year-old who was made
favorite at Sacramento last year when Don Jose won; he ran
unplaced both times to Don Jose and The Czar.

Sunday very little fast work was done, most of the horses
being rested. Boyle gave Jou Jou a good pipe opener of a
mile in which he slightly cut his hind fetlock, luckily the
white faced bay did not seriously injure himself. Jim Brown
sent Al Farrow and Guido, accompanied by Bessie ShannoD,
after slow work, a half mil© in 53 seconds, all three running
easy. The remainder of the horses had only walking exer

The heavy rain on Sunday having spoiled the track, no
fast speed was shown, all the morning work being performed
on the inside track, which is really not fit to exercise a horse
on, being full of holes and very rough.

The morning was rather showery, but at eight o'clock
Hazlitt was out on Black Pilot, followed by Emma Nevada
and Brown's Ito. They were all given Blow work for half an
hour, when Storn's Glen Ellen was given a mile and a half at
half speed.

Guido and Kildare were moved slowly, Kildare winding up
with a good rasping gallop once round the track, followed by
Hazlitt on Laura Gardner, who looked very fit and much
improved by the laBt few days let up. Asa and Pawnbroker
had only light work, as had McCormick and Hello, the latter
having bandages on his forelegs, both of which have been
fired for splints, and went rather feelingly after hie hard races
at San Jose. Morton was given slow work, aud then Al
Farrow had a mile and three-quarters, the last six furlongs
being ruo in 1 :20. The big horse looked in the pink of con-
dition, and, being on his best behavior, was photographed
by Mr. Boyd.

In the afternoon, the sun having come out aud dried the
track rapidly, some fair work was done. Kelly brought out
Mozart, Geraldine (Hart up) and Mirope. After cantering for
a few times round, Geraldine led the way in a nice half speed
gallop, pulling hard, followed by Mozart, who seemed rather
sore, and Mirope. Abdiel and Little Phil (BoylesJ were
walked in the park. At half past one, Bosebug, ridden by
Cook, led Welcome in a long, slow gallop, and theu Hennessey
brought out his other two, Luoifer and McGinnis. Lucifer,
afcer slow work, was sent off half a dozen lengths in front of
McGinnis, and being pushed along, led all through in a fair,
good mile, McGinnis, pulling double, close up.

Kelly had Flood Tide plated, and at three o'clock
a mile and a quarter (Hart in the saddle, and on '
track, which of course was still heavy); he wi i
ter in 0:26, the half in 0:52J. the three -quart
mile, pulling double, in 1:48, and finished upw
| and a quarter in 2:14.

April 20

The bay three-year-old seems to have come roand again,
and lost all trace of the eickness from which he suffered last
fall, and though he has not grown or thickened out much,
yet is very racy looking, the only doubt bsing his ability to
carry stake weights, as he hardly looks powerful enough.

TUESDAY.

A beautiful sunshiny morning brought out all the horBes
at an earlier period than usual, and the track though still
heavy, was much faster than on Monday afternoon.

Flood Tide was first out at half past seven and was only
given easy work. Hazlitt on Black Pilot led Gardner slowly
round the track and then leaving her in charge of the boy,
gave Black Pilot a good, sharp gallop once round and after a
breathing spell sent him along two miles at a good open gal-
lop, the aged gelding went in his best style and finished very
strongly. Hazlitt then got on Gardiner and worked a mile
in 1:47§, with Hello and Rasebug, all finishing together,
Laura and Hello being hard held, especially the former, while
the three-year-old had to be pushed to keep his place. Laura
went on to the nest quarter before stopping.

Morton was out doing ligbt work, ana at half past eight
Glen EUen with bandages (probably to prevent her from cut-
ting), was given a mile, going to the three-quarters in 1:20,
and then finished the full mile in 1:47J, very mnchdistreBBed.
She had a heavy boy up which probably accounts for her
severving and rolling at the finish.

Little Phil and MeCormick were on the easy list, only do-
ing slow work, while McGinnis was given a slow mile and a
half, as was Welcome also.

Kelly brought his other three out, and after Hart had rid-
den Geraldine an easy mile, she was sent sis furlongs at a
little above half speed. Hart then got upon Mozart and
gave him a good striding gallop of two miles, Mirope going
one mile steadily.

Browns Ito and Goido, (ridden by Fred Carillo) were af-
ter warming up, given a quarter mile and repeat in 25 and
25, Guido pulling over the four-year-old all the way. Re-
ward had a good gallop of 1J miles at a sweating pace; Al
Farrow and Bessie Shannon worked together and after long
slow work, were sent a half and repeat, they went down in
54£ the first time, and repeated in 53, Al Farrow running
with his mouth wide open.

Jon Jou had only slow work, with the exception of a
burst of a quarter in about twenty-five and a half seconds.

Matt StoriH then pulled Kildare out and sent him alone a
full mile in 1:47, going to the three-quarters in nineteen, a
very good gallop for the four-year-old who had about 100
pounds up and ran in his shoes, and had it not been for his
going to the outside of the track at the end of the first quar-
ter he would have dene better.

Asa and Emma Nevada worked together, and after easy
exercise, they were indulged in a good, sharp three-quarter
the last quarter in 2S seconds. Pawnbroker and Tom Haz-
litt were only moved steadily, while Lucifer had a nice
sweatting gallop.

Abdiel was not brought out.

WEDSESDAY.

The track having dried up fast on Tuedsay afternoon, and
the morning being fine and warm, the horses were all worked
early in the day.

Hazlitt, of course, was out first riding Black Pilot with a
rein on Laura Gardiner, after giving them both a slow cen-
ter, Pilot then had the leg upon Laura and worked her at
half speed three times round the track. MeCormick had a
steady center and then was brushed up for the last quarter.
Hello and Little Phil were indulged in long slow work for
half an hour when Mozart and Geraldine came out, the mare
as usual haviDg a leading rein on. After a slow canter Ger-
aldine was sent to the stable and Mozart (Hart up) was given
a half speed gallop twice round the track the reverse way.
Welcome and Morton moved easy for a short time and then
Welcome was sharpeL-ed up going down the backstretch in a
25 seconds.

Guido and Mirope, the former ridden by Fred Carillo,
(about 120 lbs); the latter by Hart at (100) in 50J seconds,
the first quarter in 25£. Guido was running easy all the
way, pulling clean over Mirope; Guido was then sweated out
and scraped. Asa was moved slowly for three miles and then
Flood Tide with 117 lbs. up. Reward and Jou Jou were
warmed up and given a mile, Kelly's colt on the inside, lead-
ing past the quarter in 25^, the half in 52, three-quarters in
1:20, the full mile, 1:49, and Floodtide running fairly easy
was sent on to the quarter pole in 2:135. Reward was too
slow all the way and the bald-faced gelding was nicely hand-
led three lengths behind hard held.

Hazlitt's two colls had very Bteady work, never being
moved at all, though Asa, (three-year-old) was sweated out.
Lucifer was ridden slowly, with a rein on McGinnis, after
which, Lucifer led McGinnis a nice mile, starting from the
three-quarter posts, the four-year-old son of Hindoo was
pushed all the way to keep clear of McGinnis, who finished
palling double in 1:47*.

BesBie Shannon (Hart) and Al Farrow (Fred Carillo) were
after Blow work given a mile and a quarter, Bessie leading
past the three-quarters in twenty, both going easy, the filly
was urged down the stretch but Al Farrow galloped away
finishing in 47^. The big horse wa3 then given If miles
(blanketed) and sweated out, he acted exceptionally well all
through.

Glen Ellen, Kildare, Ito, etc., did easy exercise in the
park.

In the afternoon the following arrived:

Palo Alto Stable, (Henry Walsh in charge) Muta, Glenloch
(full sister to Guenn), Pliny, Racine, all two-year-olds, Geof-
frey andFaustine, three- year-olds, Brutus 4.

Frank De PoyBter brought down from Sacramento, Barney
G., Duke Spencer, Long Shot and Moses B.

Matt StornB brought Lurline, Forester, both three-year-
olds, and Marigold, two.

L. V. Shippee's Stable, (Ab Steinlar) included, Songstress,
Picnic, three-year-oldr, Whisban and Farsalara, three*year-
olds.

Everyone turned out early. Storn's Kildare worked a fast
half mile from the quarter to the three-quarter pole, ridden
out in 49 seconds. Henry Walsh brough Glenloch, Muta
and Pliny out and after slow exercise sent the two fillies the
Bame hBlf in 50j seconds, Glenloch finished very strong two
leegths in front of Muta. Glenloch is a full sister to Guenn,
and is a fine racy lookiugbay filly. Kelly's Mozart, Geraldine
and Abdiel came out together, and after a good jog the mare
we it five furlongs, doing the last three-eighths in 37| seconds
easily. Mozart was given a slow mile, the last half in 55,
acd after a Bhort rest went another mile in 1:40, lookiug and
p ting well.

Hazlitt's string all had slow, easy work, Laura Gardner
- ' -ing a nice mile and a quarter alone. Faustine and Racine
af'er slow work, moved through the best half mile in 50*
seconds, the two-year-old going easy.

Ab Stemler had his two fillies Whisban and Farsalara out
together. The former is a King Ban filly, a trifle leggy, but
a race horse all over, and easily led her stable companion
(by Falsetto) in a sharp spin the last half mile of the traok
going in 50£ seconds. The two three- j ear-old fillies, Picnic
and tiongstreBs were cantered Blowly, both moving and look-
ing well. Walsh's Brutus and Geoffrey were galloped a mile
and a quarter in 2:14£, the last half mile of it in 1:47*. Brutus
going sore and very lame all round, led the way, and
Geoffrey who also is rather dicky was poshed, eoing very
sluggishly. The pair made a very unfavorable impression.

Hello and Jon Jou were both worked quietly and then
brushed up a little to finish. Moses B. was worked slowly,
winding up with a good sweating gallop, looking well and
as sound as a bell.

Matt Storn's Lurline, (Longfield — Katy Pease), ForeBter a
chestnut colt with three white legs, and Marigold 2, (Milner
— Katie Pease) all looked well, though Larline is the only
one that is any way near fit, and judging from her appear-
ance she ought to race, as her breeding is nnexceptionably
good, they all were moved slowly as was Barney G., who went
very feelingly. The remainder did slow easy work.

FRIDAY .

The following horses arrived yesterday at the traok:

W. Appleby's White Cloud, Wild Oata, Lady Helen and
Alfarata.

Miller & Brown's two three-year-olds, a colt and a lilly,
came down in the morning from Stockton.

During the afternoon, Wm. MeCormick brought the Win-
ter's string, seven head: Joe Courtney, Don Jose, The Czar,
Rascal, Barham, Barrett and El Rio Rey.

Albert Cooper brought three, including Louis P. and Canny
Scot.

Jas. Garland had three, Jackson, Emotion and Wanderer
2d.

Hanger Jones (Col. Thornton), Joe Hoge, Reata-and Alice.

Joe Courtney had three, Australian McGregor, Hearst and
The Dnke.

Buchanan brought eight, Sorrento, Pasadena, Pandora,
Wagram, C. H. Todd, G. McCarthy, Harry Mac and Dennis
Doherty.

Many of the above are strangers here, Appleby's being
well known, with the exception of Alfarata, a nice looking
three-year-old mare by Wildidle.

The Winters* string looked wonderfully well. Joe Court-
ney is a three-year-old chestnut colt by Joe Hooker, out af
Abbie H. He is a very racy looking colt, with good flat legs
and has plenty of speed, the only question being his ability
to go the route.

Don Jose has grown and thickened out a good bit since
last fall. He is perhaps a trifle leggy, but ib evidently trained
to a nicety, looking fit to run for a kingdom. The Czar has
been fired on both hocks (for curbs), and on his near fore
leg for a splint, but is coming round fast. He is short of
work yet.

Rascal is a chestnut two-year-old, full brother to Snowdrop
and Broncho, being by Joe Hooker, dam Laara Winston.
He has good shoulders, nice withers, and strong hind quar-
ters, buL has not been worked very last yet. Barham is a
bay colt, two years old, by Norfolk, out of Bister to Lottery
by Monday. He ib a very taking colt, and though very
big, not having undergone much training yet, is liable to
beat a lot of the flyers in time. He is a horse of the Volante
Btamp, particularly his hind quarters which are very power-
ful. Barrett is a two-year-old brother to Don Jose, Pocatello
and other well known performers, and certainly will never
disgrace the family, while last, but not least, is El Rio Rey,
a chestnut colt, with a few grey hairs on his hips, brother to
the celebrated Emperor of Norfolk, etc., etc.

The colt, from whom great things are expected, and his
looks do not belie it, is a big, strong two-year-old, with a
handsome head, well set on a muscular neck, nice sloping
shoulders, withers ranning well back, exceptionally powerful
quarters, good flat legs, short cannon boneB and very good
feet and pasterns, in short, a race-horse all over; he looks as
though he required a little more work, being rather above
himself.

Jas. Garland's Jack' on is a four-year-old brother to Niagara,
half brother to Bramble and Bazar, and if looks and breeding
go for anything, ought to make a race-horse. Wanderer 2d
has not improved as much as he ought to have done, being
rather leggy, too light and narrow behind; he ran a dead heat
with The Czar last fall at the Blood Horse meeting when very
fat, and not half fit, and was consequent^ easily beaten in
the run off. Emotion is a four-year-old Falsetta mare, look-
ing as thoueh she could run a very fast mile, though rather
light in flesh.

The Australian colts (Courtney) do not look as though
they would boom the importation of thoroughbreds from
Australia. Hearst is a dark chestnut colt with a particularly
good head and a very peculiar peaked croup; he may be
speedy, but certainly does not look like a stayer. He is
rather sore in his fore legB, and is soft in flesh.

The next, the Du ke, is a very good looking colt, and will
race some, but just now is sore all over, and has bucked
shins, while McGregor is too light and shelly, and will not
race here, as he has developed a very big curb.

Buchanan had a large string, but Sorrento is the only
probable starter; the chestnut colt has thickened out and
looks very well. He is light in fleBh, in fact rather thin
everywhere except his neck, which is too fat and heavy; he
looks like packing his weight and making a good show later
in the Beason. Col, Thornton's three look well, and from
their breediug should show Bpeed, but they are, although
very pretty, too light for anything.

B. Holly brought Fancy and Fusilade's Last, arriving at the
track about 11 o'clock on Thursday night. In the morning
the Baldwin string came across the bay seven strong Car
rientes, Gladiator, Alaho, Yiente, Florella, Atalanta and EL
Rey; they all looked well, though rather tired after their
journey.

It was rather a foggy morning, but Henry Walsh was out
very early with hiB two-year-olds, all looking well and moving
along easy. After breakfast he brought out Geoffrey, Brutus
and Racine, and gave them slow, Bteady work; the three-
year-old went rather gingerly, while Brutas was dead lame.
McCormick's string were much admired in their work, which
of course was only light. The other horses did slow work all
round with an occasional brush; McGinnis working particu-
larly well for five-eighths.

Wallace's Register and the Palo Alto catalogue gives this
description of Wondnnt ch c foaled 1S82, by Nutwood, dam
Ad lie by Hamblelonian Chief, son of Hambletonian 10;
second dam, called a Harry Clay Mare, pedigree not traced.
A great deal of time of has been devoted trying to prove the
breeding of the grandara but hitherto without success. Now,
hjwever, the mystery is cleared up, as Capt. Kennedy, who
bred Addie, says she was by Hashrouok's Hambletonian
Chief, dam Nellie by Geo. M, Patchen,

A Roarer.

Some time ago a notice appeared in an English newspaper,
that the Duke of Westminster had sent several horses hav-
ing roaring propensities to the Cape of Good Hope, and also
several to the West India Islands, with the hope that change
of climate would effect a cure.

A communication was sent from the Be^eder and Sports-
man office to his Grace, asking if any improvement had been
reported. The Duke answers on March 27th, and sayB that
the report is incorrect, as he has sent none to the Cape, and
only one to St. Kitts. The reports received from there
give no encouragement the only satisfaction being, that the
horse is no worse, but as yet no better. From the peculiar
nature of the trouble, it would seem a bad move to send a
roarer to the Islands, where the atmosphere is very moist
and it is extremely doubtful whether the climate there will
have a beneficial effect. Those who have maae a study of
this annoying trouble, all agree that a dry climate is what
is necessary, and there is no reason to hope that the experi-
ment will prove successful.

Whether the beautiful carriegeB and other vehicles offered
through the advertising columns by Messrs. A. A. Jackson
& Co., 33 Market Btreet, are due to the laws of natural selec-
tion and evolution from the heavy and uncomfortable trucka
of earlier years, is hard to decide, but the fact is that the
limit in patterns, elegaDce, substantial worth and comfort
seems to have been reached in the wares offered by the firm.
The growth of the business necessitates removal to new
quarters at 26 and 2S Golden Gate Avenue, and until actual
removal begins moBt favorable opportunities will be offered
to secure the finest light carriages, cabriolets, surreys, phae-
tons, buggies, harness etc. Their wareroomB are well worth a
visit even though there be no present intention to purchase.

G rim's Gossip.

Jookey Hamilton has joined Senator Hearst's stable, at
Sheepshead Bay.

It is currently rnmored that Ed Corrigan, of Chicago, is
the backer who has driven Clay StocktoD out of the Books.

Mr. Dustin is hard at work every morning on his stable of
trotters at the Oakland Park, and is fast bringing them into
good condition.

Fred Carillo is reported under engagement to C. V. Tapper
to ride at heavy weights during the coming meeting of the
Blood Horse Association.

Mike Kelly will be in the pig skin again, having almost
recovered from his accident at Fresno, where Oro kicked h m
just below the knee.

| |The copy for the Fresno races was received too late for
publication this week, and will be published in full in the
next Breeder and Sportsman.

Now that the Governor has decreed that April 30th shall
be a public holiday, I expect that many of the turf associa-
tions of the State will give a special day's racing.

The new race track at Vallejo is fast approaching comple-
tion. The committee appointed have shown commendable
energy iD pushing the work so rapidly, and in fifteen dayB
the course should be ready for use.

Hoghey Fenny does not seem to have connected with the
Chicago stable. His price of $2,500, as a retainer did not
strike Hankins favorably, and there was considerable talk
about Hughey having a swelled head.

A most horrible conundrum was propounded at the track a
few days ago. What similarity is there between the English
horse Ormonde and Charlie Tapper's Guido ? One is a roarer
and the other is out of Aurora.

Favor was never in better condition in his life, and, bar-
ring accidents, will be beard from as soon as the flag is
hoisted at Ivy City. Sam Harper, Jr., Lucerne and Barris-
ter are well, while old Brait is round as a barrel.

Ab. Stemler ran a bluff, on Thursday, offering to bet §500
that he named a two-year-old, presumably Whisban, to beat
Raoine. Henry Walsh called him, bat Ab. backed down in
a harry.

The reported death of Kenil worth, 2:18}, haB been con-
firmed by a traveler who returned from the Windward Islands
to New York recently, and was on board the steamer Ad-
vance when Kenilworth died, February 14.

News from Nashville by letter, is to the effect that Mr.
Guest's Heron is real good for the Kentucky Derby. He has
all the speed and power necessary, and if he stays the dis-
tance, the ex-governor's namesake cannot beat him.

Fred Carillo, the jockey, is undergoing that necessary evil
known as training down. He will have to reduce about ten
pounds to become of any use. Fred will ride Al Farr jw in
the heavy weight division during the coming week.

I had a look at Glen Ellen, Matt Storn's fast three-year-
old, and found her a long rangy mare, with every indication
of great speed. She has the appearance of a race horse, and
later in the season should make some of the best of them
quit.

At the track last Sunday Al Farrow held a levee in the
morning and as many people kept coming to see the big horse
his cute trainer locked Al's door and showed Itoto the spec-
tators, who went away very satisfied after picking out hiB
good points.

It was really a treat to see the vim displayed by the direc-
tors of the Blood Horse Association at their meeting last
Monday evening. A complete system was adopted for the
coming" meeting and if carried out in its entiriety will prove
that this association is the second to none in the country.

Mr. J. C. Wolfskill, of Solano County, has beea selected
by the Blood Horse Association to act each day of the meet-
ing as one of the judges. Two more selections as good as
this one, will be a guarantee that jobbery of any sort will be
promptly punished.

Mr. Winters will go East from here after the Blood Horse
Meeting. Don Jose, The Czar and El Rio Rey look very
well, and I think Don Jose will prove the better of the two
three year-olds and take an immense amount of beating when
he gets East.

N. J. Stone, manager Bancroft History Co., has bought
from Hon. B. F. Langford. of Lodi, the two thoroughbred
mares Bessie Sedgwick by Joe Daniels, and Fannie by Bays-
water. Bessie SedgwicK has a bay fill at her side by Haw-
thorne and Fannie is in foal by Dexter Prince.

Mr. Wm. Easton, in writing of California horses, says:
"Whilst yet in her infanry as a race breeding state, Califor-
nia has produced race horses which for size, quality, consti-
tutioned substance, and ability to beat all comers, at all disj
tances and under heavy weights, fairly astonished the racing
world."

Mozart has repayed with interest the attention he has 1 ad
the last few months; he was driven in harness for over two
years. Mies Ashe driving him last year to the Yosemite,
where he nearly died. In the fall he was taken up to work
with the colt and did it so well that Mr. Ashe decided to give
him another chance.

W. H. Wilson, Abdallah Park, Cynthians, Ky., has sold to
Col. H. S. Russell, Home Farm. Milton, Mass., the bay sta'-
lion Crescent (full brother to Dnbec 2:28) by SuJtan, record
2:24, dam Lady Dey by California Dexter, son of Whipple's
Hamblet man; second dam Lady Mayberry s t b by Chief-
tain No 721 .

Our Kentucky correspondent, Mr. L. M. Lasley, of Crpb
Orchard, Ky., is owner" and trainer of Lincoln Stable, io
which, if rumor be correct, there are two rattling good two
year-olds by St. Martin, that will be heard from shortly. I
trust it may be so for Mr. Lasley's sake as he is a Bportsman
of the old school.

Mr. Lovecrafi nlerk of the course at Sheepshead Bay, tele-
graphed me this week that Galore and Egmont have both been
declared out of the Suburban Handicap. From this it may
be surmised that the "leg" Egmont got last year is still
unsound, and the stable will depend on Terra Cotta to do the
trick,

A large advertisement will be found in the proper columns,
announcing a great auction sale of land by Briggs, Fergusson
& Co. An. extra press of matter this week prevents an ex-
tended notice, bnt the subject will have due attention paid
it in the next issue.

Senator Hearst while on his way to Mexico, received a dis-
patch from Geo. Van Gordon saying that the well known
racer Almont had been taken seriously ill on the overland
journey, but no particulars were given.

It is generally conceded by all who have visited Newmar-
ket, England, lately, that "Mr. Manton, " (The Duchess of
Montrose), has the finest lot of two-year-olds ever seen in
one stable. The yearlings are also a tine collection and for
form and finish cannot be excelled.

By telegraphic news in the daily papers I see that a
par y called Stover has* at last received his jnst de-
serts at the Fresno meeting. It is rumord that the Agricul-
tural Park Association of that place, have officially notified
the P. C. B. H. A. of its action and expect that their ruling
will be upheld here.

And now comes the Gonibault's Caustic Bilsam Co., and
promise to send free to all who send their addresses, a fine
direction book and discriptive circular giving full information
for the use of their wonderful curative, and also a set of
attractive testimonial cards. Every person who orders a
bottle of the marvelous Balsam will receive an elegant litho-
graphic banner free. Send your address to the manufact-
urers at once.

That the entire Eastern racing public is watching with
anxious eyes the debut of the California coltB, is evinced in
the fact that four of the prominent Sporting Journals of the
country have sent me dispatches during the week asking
how the Pacific Coast entries for the Chicogo Derby are doing
and whether any of them will start daring the Blood Horse
Meeting.

The office has been crowded all week, the approaching
meeting calling the prominent horsemen of the coast to San
Francisco. Among the many were Irwin Ayres, R. P. Ashe,
Wilfred Paee. James Dustin, H. G. Judson, Matt Storn,
Thomas F.Meagher, Worth Ober, C. V. Tupper, Frank De
Poyster, Dr. Latham, J. K. Newton, N. J. Stone, C. R. Hop-
pin, Col. H. I. Thornton and M. F. Tarpey.

Line In eh c 3 years old, by St. Martin out of the dam of
Santalene, had been sent from Crab Orchard, Ky , to the
stock farm of Mr. Baughenaris, to make the season. Lin-
coln was a fairly good two year-old, at times showing a
wonderful flight of speed, but one of his legs went rfrong,
and although given a long rest, it was found impossible to
train him this season so he has been sent to the stud.

Will Riley, the well-known bookmaker of Chicago, has sent
a magnificent cane to Matt Storn. It is made out of orange
wood cut on the orange plantation of Mr. Riley, and has
oarved on it the picture of the alligator which chased Matt
out of Florida a few years ago. The recipient thinks it a
shame that Mr. Riley should bring up unpleasant recollec-
tions.

Thomas Gallagher, sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune,
started back for the Like Cily last week after a sojourn of se-
veral months on the Pacific Coast. He made many friends
while here and his able and intelligent articles on breeding
have attracted unusual attention. It is a great pity we have
not more like him, for it is truly said, "Whatever Tom
writes you can b t is true." Come again Mr. Gallagher, you
will always be welcome.

Mr. Withers has adopted a new policy this year.which. will
be heartily approved on all sides. The Brookdale entries for
the two-year-old stakes show that in almost every case Mr.
Withers has given a name to his youngsters. His rale in
former years was never to name a horse until the animal has
won a stake, but this has caused so much confusion, annoy-
ance and trouble, that even the stubborn Sage of Brookdale
has felt compelled to give way to the march of modern ideas.

We have received from Mr. J. J. Evans a complete tabu-
lated pedigrt e, nicely printed, of his trotting stallion Heraldic
S137, A. T. R., on which there are mentioned the names of
296 promient trotters or the producers of trotters, the blood
lines of which run through thiB grandly bred horse. Mr.
Evans is a ctraful, intelligent breeder, and will only have
the very best of blood on the Fiankella Stock Farm.

It is a pleasure to meet old friends, especially such friends
as W. G. Hay, of Saginaw, Mich., and G. T. Porter, of El
Paso, Texas. Both of them are enthusiastic horsemen, anl
ardently dt voted to having racing meetings conducted in a
gentlemanly manner, and free from any suspicion of /rand.
Althongh only intend ng to stay but a few days in the city,
they will remain over until after the spring meeting. As old
friends, I can heartily recommend them to all readers of
Grim's Gossip.

My old friend Frank Hill, of Sydny, New South Wales,
arrived on the S. S. Alameda with a number of horses which
he will sell before long if purchasers can be found for good
stock. Among the number is the brood mare Woollahra,
who was bred by Andrew Town, Esq., of Richmond, N. S.
W., one of the most prominent breeders in Australia. Wool-
lahra is by Maribyrnong, .he by Fisherman (out of Mninbrace
by Heron), dam Montana by Rataplan; second dam Heather
Bell byBayMiddleton. Breeding like that should be snapped
up quickly.

Tom Gallagher in writing about the Santa Anita Ranch
says: Ganymede, the stable's reliance for the American
Derby, is a good looking chap. He is nearly 15$ hands
high, stout and compact— built considerably like Volante.
Everything depends on his speed. Bone and subBtance are
not wanting. In appearance he is decidedly above the
average. He is of the kind to carry weight and go a dis-
tance. Campbell has some faith in him."

Volante. winner of the American Derby in 1885, leads
the all-aged string at exercise. The quarter crack which
troubled bin last season has disappeared, new and solid
horn having grown down on his hoof, the swelling on his
ankle has gone, and he looks as well as ever before, if not
belter. Always a big little horse, at present high in flesh,
his proportions and development would do credit to a fioe
type of a draft horse. It has often been remarked by turf-
men thut be "ought to carry a house and lot." TboBe who
in former years wonld have assigned him an impost of that
character would upon seeing him now suggest "two houses
aod lots." He not only looks remarkably well but acts well,
and wants to cut loose for a burst every.time he goes out on
the track. Given his head he shows all of his former speed.
He will be handled carefully and is not likely to face the
starter before reaching Chicago.

A well known Eoglish veterinarian of 45 year's practical
writing about roaring in horses, says that many of his breth-
ren stare with actonishment when a seton is suggested as a
preventive of roaring. He adds:

"As 6oon as a horse begins to coagh badly, I look out for
sore throat to follow, and at once insert a seton from six in-
ches to eight inches in length according to the size of
the animal. By sponging it daily, keeping it clean,
and with an occasional removal, it may be kept open for
several weeks; and, if taken in time, I have never known a
single instance of a horse becoming a roarer."

The Mirror and Farmer says that no horse that performed
last year gives promise at all to compare this season with
Guy, 2:12. Second on the list of dangerous ones in 1889, is
the great filly Sunol, two-year old record, 2:18. Other good
ones that belong to the dangerous class are Beulah, 2:19j;
Cleon. 2:22; Fred Folger, 2:20}; Gene Smith, 2:18}; York-
town Belle, 2:23*; Woodnut, 2:16£; T. T. S., 2:1% Jack,
2:19^, and others. Bat my dear Mr. Clark, where are you
going to place Sable Wilkes? he surely has some claims on
your consideration; and if Antevolo is trotted this year, you
will also find him in the dangerous class.

The programme book for the Nashville meeting contains
several "special notices,'* two of which are as follows: "The
electric bell from the scales-room will sound in the betting
inclosure when the jockeys are officially weighed out. No
bet mast be contracted prior to such notification. After the
bell sounds twenty minutes will be allowed in each case for
betting." No person shall enter in a selling race, either in
his own name or otherwise, more than one horse of which
he is the owner in whole or in part. A violation of this ru'e
will be deemed a fraad, and all persons implicated will be
ruled off the course."

A few weeks ago Mr. John Lee matched his trotter Jessie
L. against Mr. C. J. Haven's pacer Racquet, for $250 a side,
with §50 posted as forfeit. In the articles drawn up not a
word w&s said about how the horses should go, except that
they should go a race according to the rules of the National
Trotting Association. Now Mr. Lee thinks an advantage
was taken and has forfeited his deposit, saying he will not
start his horse against a pacer. Be careful gentlemen how
you get up articles, one half the race is already won when a
skillful match maker draws up the papers. The friends of
Racquet claim that Mr. Lee knew all about the horse being
a pacer as he had raced against him on the road on several
occasions.

Which is the faster track, San Jose or the Bay District?
The question came up at the track the other day. Orrin
Hickok said that for a trotter, San Jose was a second and a
half faster in a mile, and also stated that when in good con-
dition Stockton waB just as fast as San Jose. He gave as
one good reason too, the fact that the first five hundred
yardB on the Bay Track is slightly uphill. Mike Kelly said
that for a running horse the Bay was the better because the
turns were easier and thought San Jose was a second slower.
Brown said San Juse was a shade slower in his opinion as a
long striding horse could uot make the San Jose turns with-
out shortening Mb stride and in many instances he was thus
forced to change his gait.

I heard a peculiar discussion at the track, says a reporter
writing from Lexington, which may be of interest. Mr. Knox,
of California, propounded the problem, "Why should not
the thoroughbred receive a great portion of his slow work
hitched to a sulky?" Mr. Knox explained that he considered
the horse would be easier to manage, that you could regulate
his speed better, for in many cases where a boy could not
control a oolt a man sitting in a sulky could; and he further
urged that pulling the weight instead of earring it developed
the muscles better. Quite a few trainers were present, and
many thought there was a good deal in Knox's argument.
In fact there are cases on record where borsts which woold
fret to death under the saddle would jog along peaceably to
harness, and having received a great portion of their training
in that way were snecessful racehorses. Of course it is a
theory for the most part, but I think that in some cases at
least, it might prove beneficial.

Harry Rose has the nucleus of a good racing stable in the
Wild Idle, Duchess filly and Dan M. Murphy, says the Los
Angeles Tribune. The Duchess filly, who will be hereafter
known to fame as Rosemeade, was probably the best two-
year-old whioh performed in Los Angeles during the past
week. She was not ridden well except In rhe third race, and
there are many competent judges who think that if properly
ridden she could have won all three of the two-year-old races.
It is not generally known that Dan Murphy is by the same
sire as Wheeler T. of the Chicago stable. Wheeler T. is the
three-year-old who packed 9S pounds at St. Louis last Jane,
a mile and a sixteenth in 1:47 £ which is the best time on rec-
ord for that distance. At Louisville, May 24th, WbeelerT.
went a mile in 1:4U with 102 pounds up. Saturday morniDg
Dan Murphy was worked a mile in 1:43, and Mr. Rose yes-
terday said that if the horse is as good a horse as he thinks
he i6, that he will start him for the American Derby.

Senator Hearst is in the city looking after his stable of
racers at the Sheepshead Buy track, says the New York
Times. He very much regrets the loss of his two-year-old
Mistral, by Hockhocking— Maid of the Mist, a California-
bred voungster who was very highly thought of and very
largely engaged in all the principal stakes in this vicinity.
Yesterday he saw his famoas forty-thonsand-dollar colt. King
Thomas, take a spin about the track in company with
some of his other high-priced youngsters. He thinks very
well of him. though agreeing with his trainer that so big and
rather ungainly a colt should not be forced in his work, but
be handled slowly, so that he will probably not be seen in
any of the early events of the racing season, which is now
but five weeks away. The Senator is accredited with having
made a big winning over Golden Reel's victory at Clifton on
Wednesday, when he went over to New Jersey to see what
winter racing is like.

To these might be added oils, embrocations, washes and
all the mixtures which are pronounced the very best in the
world for "man and beast." That very many of them are
good is beyond dispute, that some are superior to others
goes without saying. That the old recipes are usually too
harsh there is also little doubt in our mind, :ind rarely in-
deed, are "potent remedies" the equal of those which are
milder. Fisherman's Carbolized Alkaline lutioo we have
used for over a year, and b«ve no hesitation in recommenc-
ing it for the class of ailments it has proved beneficial.
Dilated with three or more times i's bulk of water it forms en
excellent wash to remove sorettas of xnuscl

strength is a "counter irritant" which likely

A Stake Book-
The Goodwin Bros., 241 Broad wiy, N. Y , are at
present compiling matter for au official stake boob, which
will contain the entries for all stakes now closed, by the
American Jockey Club, the Coney Island Jockey Clab,
Brooklyn Jockey Club, the St. Louis Jockey Club, and
the two associations at Monmouth and Saratoga. Hith-
erto'tbis work: has been 'published under the auspices of
the above mentioned clubs, and at a cost of S 10 each,
rendering it almost impossible for the ordinary turf
patron to purchase one. Now, however, it is proposed
to issue a comprehensive work at $2 if 250 subscribers
can be obtained, and it will be to the interest of all horse
owners, breeders, trainers, etc., to order a copy at once,
and thus secure its publication. The Messrs. Goodwin
have done much fot turf interests, in tTie way of litera-
ture, all their works containing information of the
utmost importance to those interested in turf matters.
The offer of the publishers is certainly a most liberal
one, and the required number of subscribers should be
obtained immediately.

The Proper Spirit.

As we have already mentioned, the State Agricultural
Society offers to give $5,000, if the citizens of Sacramento
will contribute 85,000, and inaugurate annual spring
meetings at the capital city. Messrs. Hall, Luhrs & Co.,
were tbe first to respond with a check for $500, and now
we find another enterprising gentlemen of that city will-
ing to give a like amount to further the object. These pub-
lic spirited citizens know full well the benefits to be de-
rived from such meetings, and are willing to assist the
society that has acted so generously in the matter. The
following letter has been received by Secretary Smith
and speaks for itself:

Sacramento, Cal., April 8, 1889.
Edwin F. Smith, Secretary State Agricultural Society —
Dear Sir: Recognizing the importance of the establish-
ment of a spring racing meeting at Sacramento upon a basis
that will for all time make it one of the principal meetings of
California, I take pleasure in donating to the State Agricul-
tural Society the sum of $500, to be by them need in Bach
manner as in their opinion advisable in the maintenance of
such meetings.

I believe, with proper encouragement from the business
community at Sacramento, that the State Agricultural
Society can manage and maintain such meetings upon a
scale that will insure success to the end that this city will be
the recognized racing and breeding center of the Pacific
Coast.

The subscription is subject to your order on demand.
Honing that the responses to the movement, so wisely in-
augurated by the Society, will be of such magnitude as to
insure its fulfillment, I remain, very truly,

Proprietor Golden Eagle Hotel.

The Rancho del Paso Catalogue.
"We have received from Mr. Easton of New York, a
catalogue of the yearlings to be sold on July 1st, by
order of J. B. Haggin, Esq. It was generally supposed
last year that Rancho Del Paso could never make such a
showing again, as the consignment then sent to New
York for sale, but if an improvement were possible it is
shown in the sale catalogue of 1889. Number 2 in the
list is one of the best bred colts ever offered at public
auction, and that he will bring a fabulous price goes
without saying. No. 2, brown colt, foaled April 12,
1888, by imp. Darebin, out of imp. Agenoria by Adven-
turer, he by Newminister (son of Touchstone and Bees-
wing by Drf.Syntax), out of Palma by Eniillus; 2d dam
Milliner (dam of Pizarro) by Rataplan; 3rd dam Man-
ganese (dam of Tbe Miner, Mineral and Mandragora) by
Irish Birdcatcher; 4th dam Moonbeam (dam of Loup-
garon) by Tom Boy, and so on through the best racing
blood that England ever produced. In addition to this
grand colt, there is a full sister to the peerless Dew Drop;
a colt by imp. St. Blaise (son of the mighty English sire
Hermit), out of Maud Hampton (dam of Ban Fox, King
Fox, and the 538,000 yearling, King Thomas). The
catalogue fairly bristles with the best blood of America,
England and Australia, and those who are fortunate
enough to purchase any of the yearlings may rest assured
that they will secure the very best that money can pro-
cure.

The route over which Mr. H. McMurchy. agent for the
L C. Smith gun, will pass after leaving San Francisct, is to
Sacramento, Stockton, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Ogden,
Salt Lake and Denver. He will remain in each city such
time as is necessary to meet his business friends, and push
the sale of his excellent guns. -

The Bard.

Mistakes in Pedigrees-

Mr. H. C. Judson, the owner of "Wildidle, called at
this office on Monday last and called our attention to
three entries made at the Los Angeles Spring meeting,
which are evidently wrong as far as the pedigrees are
concerned. The three alluded to were all entered in the
Rodman Scramble, for two-year-olds, and are as follows:
Bay filly by Wildidle, dam Phoebe Hall; br c Gambo by
"Wildidle, dam Dollie Dimple, and b c Reno by "Wildidle,
dam Mary Wade. Mr. Judson's claim is that not one of
these mares have ever been bred to Wildidle, conse-
quently he cannot be the sire of the colts mentioned
above.

An examination of the American Stud Book reveals
the fact that Mary Wade has been reported to Col.
Bruce as having a bay colt by Wildidle in 1887. Phoebe
Hall is also in the same volume as having a bay filly by
Wildidle in 1887. Dolly Dimple is not in the Stud
Book, so of her we have no record. It is altogether
probable that the mistakes have occurred in a similarity
of names, and that the colts alluded to are by Wildidler
instead of Wildidle. If Buch is the case thy errors should
be corrected at once, so that in the future there may be
no disputes as to the paternity of these horseB. Mr. T.
H. Rodman, Secretary of the Southern California Rac-
ing Club, will in all probability know the addresses of the
parties who entered the youngsters, and it would take
but little correspondence to straighten the matter out.

A reporter of the Philadelphia Times, who recently visited
Mr. Cassatt's stable at Chesterbrook, speaks thus of Long-
fellow's moBt famous son: "In the nest box to Eurus stands
The Bard, and there can be no doubt that this grand horse
has been since his last appearance in public, an anxious
charge for his able and painstaking trainers to handle. The
Bard looks big and lusty, and his full bright eyes clean nos-
trilj and healthy tongue are all indicative of a perfect physical
condilion. HiB forelegs, swathed below the knees in light
bandages, are appearently as clean as a smelt, but the off
hind leg bears marks of blistering, and an ominous puffing
below the hock has caused the leg to Iobo its symmetry.
Without handling the limb it was obvious to the observer that
The Bard, in racing parlance, has a leg. The leg looks gum-
my and set, but mere eye evidence without handling is by no
means conclusive, and it may be that the weak member will
under the jadicious treatment and watchful eye of Mr. Hug-
ginB again do its share in bearing the gallant Bard to victory.
In this case much depends on the exact seat and nature of
the injury sustained. Ab to this there was at the time a
variation in the opinion of the veterinary surgeon and the
trainer. The expert thought that the horse was struck into or
hit his leg. Mr. Hnggins was and is still of the opinion that
the lameness and attendant tenderness resulted from the
straining of a tendon, From Mr. Huggins remarks it is evi-
dant that he inclines to the belief that The Bard will stand a
preparation in other words that the horse will regain the free
and unrestricted use of the injured limb. Whether his
judgment is correct or not the future alone can decide."

From a friend we learn that some of the sportsmen about
Sacramento, have been having some good times among the
snipe. There is considerable excellent snipe ground in that
vicinity, and when not too closely pursued by the country
youths, the birds have been reasonably plentiful. Some fair
bags have lately been made by Messrs. Frank Freeman, C. E.
Mack, N. E. White and others, and the birds were in excel-
lent condition. There is an unconfirmed rumor afloat to the
effect on a recent expedition into the snipe country the last
named gentleman came to grief while endeavoring to get into
a favorable Bnipe-patch ahead of a country youth, who saw
the city shooter and a friend preparing their guns for a raid
upon it and essayed to head them off. Tbe story goes that
in his endeavor to scale a barbed wire fence in haste the
newspaper scribe came down rather heavily on the top wire
when half way over. He Bwung one leg upward in the effort
to clear the barb-arous thing and caught his gum boot on one
of the sharp points. It was a sort of catch-aB-cateh-can tus&le
for a brief moment, and the fence got the best of it. When
the sportsman pioked himself up he found that the sale of
his boot had been ripped asunder and that his pantaloons, —
well, the least Baid of that tbe better. In the meantime, the
country boy had got into the inclosure, and having a lead of
fifty yards or more, drove the snipe out of the cover before
the town chaps had a chance to get a shot at them. ThiB is
as it was told us, and may or may not be true, but Buch
things do happen.

It is reported that Judge Rix will not be able to attend the
side shoot at San Bruno on May 12th. If he cannot do so,
Mr. Fred Putzman will act as Captain of the Judge's side.

This afternoon at the Lincoln Gnn Club grounds on Ala-
meda Point, there will be a team shoot: at artificial targets,
teams from the Lincoln, Encinal and other clubs will com*
pete.

Frank J. Bassford and A. L. Donaldson have accompanied
Ford Bassford to Alaska upon a seal hunting expedition.
Their work will be shooting seals, for which they are to
receive $1.50 for each ekin. For otter they will receive $5.

Editor Claude King, of pleasant "Sports Afield," published
at Denver, Col., is doing good work with his journal, to
which a horse department has recently been added. He
deserves success, and will undoubtedly attain to it.

Blue Rock Club.

Eighteen gentlemen entered for the April shoot o£ the Blue
Rock Club at Adam's Point on Saturday last, and a better
day could not have been had.

Two of the entries were guests of the club, Mr.W. G. Hey,
a Michigan sportsman, whose presence was highly appre-
ciated, and Mr. Harvey MoMorchy, representative of the L.
C. Smith gun, a masterly shot.

The traps did not work perfectly and the shooting lagged
on that account, but Mr. Will Golcher gave assurance that
new arms would be supplied for further events.

The shooting averaged badly, perhaps because of the an-
noying balkB in trapping, although the targets were materially
assisted in their flight by a tailing wind.

The ground has been perfectly fitted for blue rock shoot-
ing, the most recent forms of pulling apparatus, trap indica-
tor, etc., being in UBe. Messrs. A. F. Adams and Tnbbs
tied for first place with totals of 25 each. Mr. McMurohy
was next with 23. No other did better than 20.
At 10 single Blue Rock targets and 10 pairs. Chamberlin rules.
singles.

One of the craok Bhots of Norwich, Conn., Mr. A. S. Childs
has taken up his residence in San Jose. Mr. Child's special-
ity is artificial target shooting, and some of his scores are
very fine. He favored this office by calling on Monday last
to learn when and where he could take part io trap shooting.
He will be present at the reunion shoot at San Bruno on
May 12th.

The veterans will turn out on May 12th at San Bruoo, for
their annual side shoot under those "thoroughbred old Presi-
dents, of the lamented Cosmopolitan Club, Captain Mathias
Ault and Judge Hale Rix. These reunions have come to be
looked upon as the great events of the year in local circles.
Although the name "Cosmopolitan" is always mentioned in
connection with them, they are in fact free for all, and Bides
are chosen from among those who attend. Last year about
fifty men shot, and the entry should not be less this year.

be on hand and a fine old time day's nport is assured. The

a. New Gun by Mr. L. C. Smith.

Mr. L. C. Smith's guns made at Syracuse, N. Y., have es-
tablished themselves as the equals of any shotgun built in the
world, and the demand for them has increased steadily year
by year, until they are in the hands of a majority of the
famous trap shots of"the country.

Until recently, Mr. Smith has not cared to put out any
bnt gnus of high price and value, but this season, to meet
the ability of a whole world of good sportsmen who would
like to use the Smith, but who are comparatively poor, he
bafi made a twist barreled hammerleBs that can be had at a
price lower than that of any other first-class weapon of the
Bort.

The gun embodies all the distinctive features of the Smith
system; is sound, well built, nicely balanced, works smooth-
ly and is in every way desirable. It is not made to special
order bnt will be finished throngh the trade, in so many
weightB and lengths of barrels and stocks as to enable every
one to be suited. The gun baG already "caught on" and
the orders being taken for it by Mr. McMurchy, evidence
both the faot that Mr. Smith has met a popular Deed, and
that the confidence in him and the essential goodness <>( his.
aims is wjde spread,

California Wing* Shooting Club-

The best birds ever trapped at San Brano were those need
by the California Club on Sunday last Thirteen members
and three guests, Messrs JohnK. Orr, VV. G. Hay and Harvey
McMurchy tried their skill, and it is not to the discredit of
the club that double figures were rare. The birds were
mostly dark in color, and they tailed away when the traps
were palled like shadows, very many of them being hard hit,
but so strong as to get out of bounds before dropping dead.
In fact it was a common remark that in no match that could
be recalled had so many "dead out of bounds" birds been
ecored.

Two of the guestP, Messrs. Orr and McMurchy, dropped
eleven each, as did Mr. Fay, the work of the latter being
especially brilliant, his second barrels being both quick and
deadly. Mr. C. J. Haas scored ten, and lost two dead out-
side. Dr. Knowles shot with his usual deliberation, but the
hard birdsgot the better of bis 16 bore, andheloBt three dead
out of bounds. Mr. F. B. Norton was using a superb L. C.
Smith hammerless just built for him. and did some splendid
work with it. The Stockton cracks, A. B. Sperry and Dr.
Cross, feathered almost every bird, but were shooting too
light loads for sach lough targets.

Mr. C. B. Smith was out-gunned. He has shot his present
weapon for ten years, and it scatters too much. It was really
fanny to see Osborne, Meily, Will DeVaull, Lewis and White
go to the score time after time and drop their birds out of
bounds. Uncle Robert Liddle made some brilliant shots,
but the birds were a little too quick and strong for him.

For the day Mr. Fay won first choice of the three elegant
medals, made by Hammersmith and Field, Mr. Haas took
second choice and Dr. Knowles third.

Mr. W. G. Hay, an enthusiastic and well posted young
sportsman of Saginaw, Michigan, is spending some time in
San Francisco. On Saturday and Sunday last he shot with
the Blue Rock and California Clubs, but being entirely out
of practice did not score particularly well, although it could
easily be seen that he was a master of the gun.

Wild Fowl Shooting.

Wild Fowl Shooting, containing scientific and practical
descriptions of Wild Fowl; their resorts, habits, flights and
the most successful method of hunting them. By William
Bruce Leffingwell, Clinton, Iowa, 188S.

The work of the reviewer ordinarily is unpleasant work
indeed. Either style, typography or matter must be criti-
cised, and too often adversely; po that when a volume comes
to be read and noticed, the reading of which is an unalloyed
pleasure, and the noticing of which is felt to be a kindness
to other might-be readers, special note may be excused. Mr.
Leffingwell baB gone from the horizon to tbe zenith meteor-
like, except for the direction of his flight. Unknown, except
bb a real good fellow-sportBman and fine shot, until a few
months ago, his name is now in many mouths, and all in
praise, both of the man a3 revealed in his simple, eloquent
Btory of wild fowl, and of tbe essential excellence of his book.
Wild fowl shooting had never before been adequately treated,
and there was therefore need for the book. The author is
by instinct and life-long habitude a wild fowl shooter. He
is, beside, a writer of delightful clearness, strength and direct-
ness. His book meets the need, and cannot but be in
demand wherever sportsmen are. Its range is exhaustive,

and when technical description is entered upon, scientifically
exact. _

Mr. Leffingwell wisely makes no attempt at fine writing,
he just talks along through his pages as auy unusually
gifted, enthusiastic, observing, sonnd, manly sportsman
might talk if relating his experiences to sympathizing friends,
or advisiDg noviceB in whom he detected the kindling of
that love for the gun, which keeps men young in all but
mere years. The habitat and habits of all the wild fowl
species are given. The peculiar methods of approach to the
same, the making of blinds and sneak boats, calls for the
fowl; proper weapons with their appropriate loads; the suita-
ble paraphernalia of the fowler, in a word everything tbat
can make for the success of him who goes in for wild fowl
shooting, can be found within the covers of the 373 page
book under review, in most attractive form, and in adequate
minuteness. The author is to be congratulited upon the
puccess attending his imitial ventnre, and sportsmen should
do themselves the kindness to procure the volume and
familiarize themselves with its contents. The book is su-
perbly illustrated, clearly printed in large tpye and hand-
somely bound. Frince $2.50 in cloth, $3.50 in half morocco.
Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 360 Montgomery St.,
San Francisco, local agents for Mr. Leffingwell, send the
volume for review.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication tbe earliest possi-
ble noHces of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr J. K. Newton, San Francisco, fox terrier Nelly, (Vixen
— Trixy), whelped April 16, 1889, nine, three dogs, to own-
er's Teddy. Four bitches since dead.

Mr, Taft writes from Truckee: "I've got the beBt dog in
the world, and yon know it." The information is published
to put an end to all bickerings in the doggy world, and to
relieve those tortured, fearsome minds which have held
fondly to a similar belief about their own dogs.

Mr. Newton's stud fox terrier Teddy is in demand among
owners of fine brood animals. The bitches now due in
whelp to him are owned by Mr. Jas. E. Watson, Mr. McNeill
and Mr. Newton, one of them noted elsewhere haviog
recently whelped a fine litter. The pedigree of the litter is
misplaced, but Mr. Newton has written to Australia for
duplicates.

Elsewhere will be fouud the advertisement of the Pacific
Coast Field Trial Club. It iB in the form of an entry blank
tor the coming Derby, entries for which close on May 1st.
Owners of setters and pointers whelped BiDce January 1, 1888,
are urged to cut out tfie advertisement and use it as an entry
blank, tilling it out and mailing to the secretary by May 1st.

Tbe demand in England for tbe services of the greyhound
Greentick is so great that his owner has decided upon rais-
ing his fee on April 1st, to 25 guineas. This will be the
largest stud fee ever commanded by a greyhound, although
20 guineas was at one time readily paid for Misterton, who
has at the stud earned Mr. Miller over £5,000, and is still
on active duty.

The Occidental Coursing Club has decided not to give a
courBing meeting in May, the reason being that fair and sat-
isfactory arrangements cannot be made with the proprietors
of Newark Park. The fact is to be regretted, and some en-
terprising man may find in it a suggestion about another
coursing ground which if well arranged hnd properly con-
ducted would undoubtedly be remunerative.

Kdade's who own setterB and pointers whelped since Janu-
ary 1, 18S8, should remember that eutries to the next Derby
of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club close on Mav 1st, with
the Secretary, H. H. Briggs, 313 Bush Street, San Francisco,
the forfeit being $5. Members of the club should interest
themselves actively in Becuring entr'es, and it is hoped that
those who desire to have dogs in the stake will send for
entry blanks. The stake is to be run at Bakerstield. Kern
County, beginning on Monday, January 20. 1890, and will
be worth rive hundred dollars at least. There are many
first clasi breeding bitches and sires that should be repre-

Some hoe Irish setters have recently been brought to
Seattle. W. T., by Mr. J. C. Nattrass from Central Park, 111.
They are Nat Glencho (Glencho — Maid), Judith (Brush—
Lncille), Red Fanny (Smutt — Mag), Leigh Donne IV. (Bruce
—Leigh Doane II.), and Mamie Glencbo (Nat Glencho —
Judith. They are all well broken, and valuable additions to
the setter stock of the coast. Nat Glencho was bred by tbat
noted admirer of IriBh setters, Mr. W. H. Pierce, of Peekskill,
N. Y-, whose stud dog Glencho is a fu1! brother to Mr. Tru-
manV Lady Elcho T. We hope Mr. Nattrass will condition
and show his team of setters at the Pacific Kennel Club show
in May.

Our almost invariably exact sporting editor of the Chroni-
cle, is in error in stating that an essay on rabies was recently
read before the Pacific Kennel Club by Dr. Buzard.

Mr. E. P. Fish, of this city, related an extraordinary manifes-
tation of reasoning power on the part of his English retriever
Fino the other day. Fino is in the habit of carrying a basket
of luncheon every day to a distance from home and bringing
the basket and dishes back. On a return trip recently, jnat as
he reached the house he threw one of the dishes out and broke
it. Mr. Fish's people heard the crash and opened the door,
Fino showing chagrin aud shame plainly. When the door
was closed the dog was watched, and soon he went down the
Bteps, picked up part of tbe broken dish and carried it to the
waste heap behind the house, returned several times and got
other pieces antil he had cleaned away all the fragments,
when his demeanor changed, and he was his natural frisky
self again.

The English Stock-keeper and Fancier's Chronicle says of
the gentleman who will judge the Pacib'c Kennel Club's show
in May.

"Mr. W. Graham (Belfast) of Irish Terrier fame, has ac-
cepted to judge at San Francisco. It is in Irish terriers that
the Irish Ambassador has made his name, but his knowledge
of dogs is not confined to one breed, and in the opinion of
those who are best ucquainted with him, he is the nearest
approach to an efficient judge of all breeds that we possess.
More pretentious Britishers have visited the States in a dog-
gy capacity and more prominent men in our kennel world,
and though some have worthily represented the old country
and sfime have not, yet among those who have gone, and
those who are going, there is none whose opinion on English
men and their dogs is better entitled tu attention than Billie
Graham's. He has not judged over here simply because he
never touted for orders to judge, but had he been willing to
enter the ranks of the all round job-seeking judges he would
have had his calendar filled with show engagements.

Napa Spring" Meeting.
Not to be behind hand in the matter of spring meet-
ings, the Napa Turf Club announce this week that they
will give a two day's trotting meeting on Friday and
Saturday, May 17th and 18th. The purses are so liberal
that it will pay owners of trotters to prepare their horses
and get them in readiness for this meeting. The presi-
dent of the association, Mr. F. W. Loeber, is a thorough
horseman, and his name is a guarantee that everything
wili be conducted in the very best style. Napa has a
a splendid track, which is now in tiptop order and in the
immediate surroundings there are many fast trotters and
pacers that there should be no lack of entries on May
1st.

Beware of the Touts-

One of the incubii which rests upon racing is the
army of touts which hang around the public race-
courses. Private grounds are not exempt as it is nearly
impossible to obtain grooms and jockeys which are not
tainted with the disease.

But as a rule the chief annoyance to California race
goers, or that portion of them who wager some money,
is from the gang which claim to know about the horses,
and, consequently, can furnish valuable information,
the consideration being a share of the winnings. By
dividing tne intelligence so as to give A. one horse, B.
another, C. a third and so on until all the horseB which
are thought to have a chance are giving to backers a
certain sum will result the only capital required being
lots of cheek.

Impudence and assurance as these gentry do not hesi-
tate to approach any one they think there is a show to
victimize, and will go further by asking for a bonus, no
matter if not consulted before the investment, being
ready to swear that their information was the cause of
the money baing wou.

Hurrah For The Races!

We pity the man, woman or child whose heart dees
not beat in unison with the footfalls of the racers as
they come in an animated struggle to the goal, as the
absence of delight at that exciting moment would argue
that their nature was too cold to appreciate many of the
boons a kind Providence has bestowed. No matter how
little a spectator is versed in horse lore, no difference if
a good portion of the afternoon hangs heavily on their
hands, and there are expressions of surprise at the inter-
est exhibited by others before the start, when the flag
gives the signal that the play has begun, apathy gives
way to attention, attention to anxiety as the race pro-
gresses, intense and pleasurable excitement in the last
few seconds when there are doubts as to which will win.
Let there be thousands in position to see all there is of
the race, and it is safe to assert that there is not a single
person who has not made a choice of a winner. Apart
from those who are swayed by pecuniary feelings, or
those who are not biased by mercenary motives, but are
influenced by favoritism for particular families, or for
pride of locality urging that the "brown horse" should
win, there is euough to cause a selection. It may be
that beauty and grace of movement has captured one of
aesthetic tastes, or it may be that a happy combination
of colors presents a picture which the retina carries to
the brain and gains approbation and good wishes for the
bearer and wearer. "Whatever the cause, it is nearly
certain that every horse which starts will have some
hoping for its success, and without a single sons at stake,
the race will raise emotions of joy.

We are writing of those who restrain their speculations
to amounts which can be lost without ruffling the temper
sufficient to over-balance the pleasures which are felt in
the contest. "Heavy bettors" are not apt to be guided
by sentimental feeling, though there is a wide difference
with them when the venture depends on the speed of
horses, or is to be decided by the turn of a card or the
pull of dice. There is g. eater joy in winning, not so
great a load to bear when their judgment is at fault as
there may be the counter satisfaction of witnessing a
race worth a long journey to see.

From the present indications the coming meeting is
likely to be one of the best ever held on the coast. The
racing at San Jose, Los Angeles and Fresno prove that
there is a better class of horses in training here this
spring than have been shown in former years, and the
dark division according to all reports are fitting company
for the heat.

The programme is so well arranged that there is a
chance for all, whatever their forte may be, and in every
race there is a good opportunity for the gloriouB charm of
uncertainty.

The course will be in admirable order, and should the
weather prove propitious, which also seems probable,
nothing will be lacking to ensure grand sport.

Dolly McMahon and Lotta.

To be the dam of so noted a mare as Lilly Stanley is
high renown, and as a natural sequence her owner has
been very anxious to learn her pedigree. There was a
report prevalent that she was by Rysdyk's Hamble-
tonian, but this could not be verified. Although she was
brought here by. A. S. Gage, when Katie Pease came,
it seemed difficult to get any further intelligence, and
that "unknown" would be appended in her case, as well
as that of such a vast number beside.

But a few days ago when looking over papers prepar-
atory to Bending them to . the binder, others to be de-
stroyed, amoung the latter division our eye caught the
headline "Sale of Roadsters," and this was enough to
attract attention. The sale was of horses belonging to
Gage and William Patrick, a son of Mr. P. being named
as the owner. In that repert Dolly McMahon is stated
to be by Mambrino Patohen, and her mate by Wild
Irishman, both being sold to a gentleman in Napa.
Knowing the interest Messrs. Coombs took in the matter,
the slip was sent to him, with a request that it be re-
turned, intending to reprint it this week. But as we
have since learned that Hon. F. L. Coombs, to whom
the letter was addressed, was attending the convention
of Native Sons, he will not see it until his return home.

Notwithstanding verification will be necessary before
registry, there can be little doubt of the correctness of
the statement. At that time, February, 1877, Mambrino
Patchen had not an exalted reputation, and it is not
likely that the claim would have been made without
good grounds.

A mare bought at the same sale was called Lotta, and
in late years she was said to be by Lexington. This we
always thought to be improbable, but when one of the
band is catalogued as by Newry, dam by Bonnie Scot-
land, that is breeding which might readily convince us
that the other is correct.

The clew obtained, however, is likely to lead to posi-
tive knowledge, and a satisfactory clearing up of the
matter,

Guard the Record.

So much of the value of fast trotters depends on the
records obtained, that too great care cannot be taken to
insure fair trials and correct reports of the time made.
The bearing is far wider than people who are not tolera-
bly well informed in trotting affairs are aware of,
family performances are of fully as much weight as
indivdual' merit, and in estimating the worth of pro-
creative animals, intelligent breeders place more de-
pendence on family characteristics than on a single dis-
play. Thus a fair performer belonging to a sept which
embraced many others of excellence, would outrank one
of still more brilliant powers which was not so well en-
dowed in kindred of the right sort. Therefore there is
an anxiety to possess sires and dams which are members
of a popular family, and every addition to the list of
proved speed is made welcome.

When the effort is made to increase the ranks by fair
means it is a laudable endeavor, when fraud, chicanery
and falsification, are called upon to assist in building
reputations, it is downright cheatery, swindling of an
exceedingly low type. Unfortunately, in horse affairs
as in every other pursuit, there are men who are alone
guided by self interest, who are prone to follow crooked
paths, and even a better sort who give way to tempta-
tion with the plea that it is so small a baby that harm
cannot come from standing sponsor. The first class
will put up any job that there is a fair prospect of
getting away with, the latter see no ill in subtracting
such a small fraction of time as is represented by a
second or two, and when it comes to breaking the
unit and knocking off a small piece it is so trivial that
objections are frivolous in the extreme.

We are not surprised that Mr. Wallace should feel
that still more exaoting conditions should be incorpora-
ted in the laws governing registery, when that was de-
pendent upon records, than the code of the regular as-
sociations provided. From the position he has occupied,
he was brought in direct contact with those who had no
scruples of conscience, or regard for truth wh-.n pedi-
grees and records could be twisted to suit their book.
But in his anxiety to counteract the tendency to falsify
the breeding and performances of fast trotters, Mr. Wal-
lace erred in ignoring claims which now amply justified,
and in assumiug that he and the Board of Cansors were
the only authority, a still graver mistake was made.

The National and American Trottiug Associations are
recognized to be at the head of trotting affairs. Their
laws (nearly alike) are recognized authority over the
whole country. Wherever trotting prevails these codes
are fatriliar to nearly everyone who is in any manner
connected with the sport. As is shown in another article
the rules specify how a record shall be obtained, and
hence there is a general knowledge of the steps which
are necessary to gel the record legally. When this is

down in accordance with the rules the horse is entitled
to the record made and if fifty boards were to deny the
r^ght it would still belong to the animal.

But admission into the fetandard class of the Trotting
Register does depend upon the Board of Censors, when
that is claimed on time made, and as the Tear Book is
under Mr. "Wallace's entire charge, he can compel
acquiscence in whatever rules he promulgates. Mr-
"Wallace cannot possibly claim that omission from the
Year Book is positive evidence that the animal is not
entitled to the place, but only that his rules have not
been complied with.

A dictatorship, in so important a matter as the record
of trotters, would not be tolerated for an instant by such
a large majority of breeders and owners as to be practi-
cally the whole, while the governing power would be
cheerfully given to the associations which are already
acknowledged to have trotting affairs under their super-
vision. That is now awarded, and when a course accepts
membership, an important part of the contract is com-
pliance with all the by-laws, rules and regulations.

That any other requirements are necessary, than those
embodied in the codes, to ensure an honest return of the
time made, whether in races against horses or when a
stipulated figure is reached, is not apparent, but if the
Board of Censors or Mr. Wallace can show a better plan>
there is little question of the amendment being accepted.
"With two sets of rules in force, it is not to be expected
that those which are the least known will displace the
popular mode. "We do not object to guarding, with even
financial exactness, the records on which so much
depends, though we emphatically protest against the
practice of throwing out in the face of incontrovertable
evidence such performances as that made by "Whips or
that of Big Jim.

The claim that a performance must be made at a
regular meeting cannot be allowed, and a law which
would compel all races against time to be trotted during
that period could never be passed.

Bier Jim's Record.

Our associate was not quite correct in his remarks on
the Big Jim race, which appeared in the paper of last
week. The error arose from accepting the regulation3
for admission in the Xear Book in place of being gov-
erned by the rules of the National Trotting Association
of which the Bay District Track is a member.

The code of the N". T. A. contains the following:

"Kule 42 — Public Race.

Any contest for purse, premium, stake or wager, or
involving admission fees, on any course and in the pres-
ence of a judge or judges, shall constitute a public race.

Rule 43 — Time Records and Bars. — "When time be-
comes a bar.

"A record can be made only in a public race, the horse
to trot or pace a full mile according to rule; and the
time must be taken by at least two timers selected for
the purpose, and the record of their names as well as
time must be kept."

That the above conditions were observed in the Big
Jim race is evident from the published account. The
judges and timers were selected and their names pub-
lished. The premium offered was a colt which Mr. Mar-
vin offered conditional that Big Jim should make a mile
in 2:30 or better, under conditions which would entitle
him to a record, a record made m accordance with the
rules of the Trotting Association in which the track held
membership. It is very true that were there any doubts
of the performance being made in accordance with the
guards the rules impose, the Board of AppealB would
have the power to consider the case, and if the evidence
supported the charge the record would be thrown out.
But when one man or a body of men, not recognized as
having authority, attempt to bring other laws to bear,
while their action may have an effect on publications
under their control, such as admission into Stud or Year
Books, their verdict is powerless in effecting the standing
of an animal which has filled all the conditions of the
N. T. A.

Again our associate erred in considering that these
were necessary to constitute a race. In a match against
time a horse is entitled to three trials, with proper inter-
vals between the heats, but there is nothing to compel
further attempt when stipulated time has been made
It is analogous to a race in which any number of horses
take part. To win it is necessary to get three heats, or
"distance" all competitors before three heats are won,
and if that is accomplished in one heat, it is a race as
much as though a dozen were trotted.

If Mr. Marvin gave the colt on the condition that the
rules for admission in the Year Book were followed, the
reward has not been earned. If the "premium" was
offered consequent upon Big Jim obtaining a record of
2:30 or better, his owner is entitled to it.

This is so plain that further arguments are unneces-

sary; though there is another feature which is worthey
of attention.

From the account published it appears that the race
had been advertised to take place at the time Little Hoi e
and Big Jim met. Two of the advertised horses did not
start, and Little Hope was "worked out" two heats be-
fore his competitor "showed up." That after Big Jim
won the heats and gained the desired record, the race
was discontinued, whether from the judges consenting to
the withdrawal of one or both, or the determination on
the part of the drivers to forgo further contest is not
shown. That the judges could have compelled the
drivers to finish the race, or punished the parties refus-
ing by suspension or expulsion is evident.

Then to all intents and purposes it was a race, not-
withstanding the irregularities, and iu that respecf,
answers the conditions required by the compiler of the
Year Book, and presumably by the "Board of Censors."
But a "regular meeting" is rather an ambiguous phrase
and what it will be hereafter defined to mean is beyond
conjecture.

The trotting department of the State Fair covers a
period of nine days. Others have six, five, or four days,
while the Bay District has been advertised to include
thirty days, occupying two days in each week.

One day can scarcely be called a meeting, especially
should that be taken up with o<te race. Time made in
matches, or even a sweepstakes which was trotted out-
side of a regular meeting would not be accepted under
the arbitrary rule for admission into the Year Book.
While it is so palpable as not to require argument that
continual vigilance is necessary to guard against fraudu-
lent claims for admission into "the list," it is far from
being proper to exclude performances which are beyond
a shadow of dcubt. The rules of the N. T. A. and A.
T. A. are ample protection, and admission into the Stud
Book could be awaided under them without running
much risk of encouraging wrong doing. Section five of
Rule 43 is as follows:

"If it should appear to the Board of Appeals upon
investigation, that any record was fraudently obtained,
it shall be declared not a record but a bar.'"

"With the close watch which is now kept by those
interested in breeding fast trotters, it is nearly impossible
to "get away" with a "job," though instances have been
known when surrounded with all the guards embodied
in the rules quoted last week.

But our readers, or at least a majority of them, will
agree with us that when the laws of the two great trot-
ting associations are strictly observed, the animal com-
plying is fully entitled to the record gained, and there
is no possible way of depriving him of it.

Who will ride for Mr. Haggiu this year? asks the aporis-
man. Isaac Murphy's continued refusal to sign with Mr.
Baldwin, despite the Dwyers' repeated assurances that thev
do not want him, has given birth to the rumor that he may
don the orange and blue. This is cot true. It is also said
that the stygian Hamilton may reappear in the orange and
blue this year. He has signed with Senator Hearst, but has
had a low with trainer Allen. The latter wanted him to ride
the Senator's horses in tho.r work, but Hamilton preferred
to ride winners of Clifton. The Senator is very much an-
gered at his conduct, and may refuse to employ him at all.

The Senator's horses are moving in magnificent shape.
Ou Saturday last the gigantic King Thomas worked a half in
54. Despite hiB enormous size, the $40,0C0 horse will be
ready to ran almost as soon us any two-j ear-old iu (bis
neighborhood. Gorgo, who broke a half hundred men list
summer, looks quite handsome enough to break a half hun-
dred more. His time for the half was a full second better
than King Thomas. It is 49 to 1 against Gorgo for the
Brooklyn, and many a trainer down there has ruminated on
Senator Htarst's horse as the possible winner of that event
— only to dismiss the idea at the first thought of Hanover.
They all swear by Hanover down tnere. Frank McCabe
says that he has not taken a lame step since his leg was
nerved almost a year ago. "It is 2 to 1 agin him now, and
yer won't git even money the day of the race," said one en-
thusiast. Kingston has grown into a perfect mountain.
This has been accepted as the teason of his being declared
out of all Ihe early spring haudicap--. The real reason now
seems to be that his people thiuk they can win them all with
Hanover.

Anti Post Betting.

As the weeks roll by, and the opening of the Brooklvn
Jockey Club Spring Meeting draws near, the interest in-
creases in the two large handicaps, about which books are
usually opened months in advance. The sporting journals
of the East keep regular standing tables of the od.1s laid by
the various bookmakers and it may be noticed from week to
week what horse is being backed, and how heavily, by the
change in the quotations. During the first few days after
the books were opened, there was a small flutter by a few of
the very eariy backers to "get on" Terra Cotta, however, as
the days r< lied on supporters for the other candidates ap-
peared, but not before the Chicago stable entiy had been
backed down to "fifteens." A comparison of the sheets is-
sued by Cutler & Whitney, of this city, and a glance through
their btoks show the fluctuations which occur and from what
Bection of the country money cotues from, to back particular
favorites for the suburban.

Terra Cotta has been backed from Dallas, Tests, New
York, St. Paul, Minn., Chicago and St. Louis, each city send-
ing many orders. Hanover finds most of his support fr< m
the large Eastern cities, still some one in St. Paul favors the
chances of the Dwyers grand old horse, and sends on a
commission. New York also sends on large backing for
TennyBon, Belvidere and Fitz James, while Marauder has
one friend in the metropolis. Clay Stocktoo has strong sup*
port from Louisville, New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville,
while Eolo finds backing in Lexington, Chicago and St.
Louis. Californian money is nearly all placed on horses
owned by State representatives, Glen Echo, Gorgo, Tenny-
son and Fitz James being thought most of. Judge Murray
does not seem to have any particular spot from which his
support comes, bnt North, East, South and West contains his
admirers.

For the Brooklyn Handicap, New York City takes Eiile,
Hanover, Elkwood and that rattle-headed mare Connemara.
Wheeler T. has a good many warm friends in the South, his
backing from the North being rather meagre, which is strange
as he is owned by the Chicago stable and it would seem
natural that the support should come from that quarter.
Richmond and Prince Royal have considerable California
money on them, while Glen Echo, The Bard and Hanover,
have also been lightly backed. The firm have opened np a
hook on the Chicago Derby in which there are several of our
local horses, so we give the price list entire, that comparisons
may be made as to the odds offered against our horses and
the Eastern ones.

Mr. McKoon to Dr. Davenport, et. al.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I notice in the March
231 inane of Breeder and Sportsman that Dr. A. C. Daven-
poit of Stockton, Cal., has reported as purchased from the
Han'dBome Brook Kennel, Franklin, N. E., cocker spinis's
as follows: Vic, liver and white, whelped October 25, 1SS7,
by Jet (Wildair— Bird), out of Beanty (Brag— Daisy C). in
whelp to Capt. Stobbs (Col. Stnbbs— Mand). dne Maroh21st.
Also Cherry, liver and white, whelped October 27, 1887, by
Capt Stnbbs (Col. Stnbbs— Mand). out of FIoesv C. (Dan-
Nellie), in whelp to Jet (Wildair— Bird) on March 23th. Also
notice that his cocker spaniel bitch Pet H. (Col. Stnbbs—
Flirt) has viBited his Kate (Snip— Daisy C), Febrnary 6, 1889.
I also notice that the American Field, of Maroh 23d, reports
the above bitohes, Vic and Cherry to be of different color and
of other dates of birth.

Having been so many years a carefnl breeder of cocker
BpanielB of known reliability, and having constant access to
mv old kennel records, and all pnblic records, I therefore
quickly notice that there are a host of nnexplainable errors
in the above reports, and would kindly call Dr. Davenport's
attention to a few of them, and seek information upon a few
other points therein, both for Dr. Davenport's best interest
as well as my own and that of the public at large, and it is
only proper for me to say here that the errors do not appear
to me to fall at Dr. Davenport's door, but I judge him to be
in a position to ferret out the same. Now in regard to the
main errors, I can siy that if Vic iB ont of Handsome Brook
Kennel's Beanty, by my old Jet, and was whelped in 1887,
she was, according to my books, whelped December 27, 1887,
and was liver with white on bosom, if I recollect correctly,
and not liver and white as classed, and if Bhe was doe to
whelp puppies March 21st laBt, she evidently must have been
injudiciously bred at her 6rst or immature heat, and thus
cause her puppies to be weakly, and not fitted for breeding
or field use when they reach maturity. Yet, if snch breeding
was ordered by Dr. Davenport, he can have no grounds for
complaint upon that score.

The bitch Cherry, I notice, is bred to my old Jet in the same
manner as the above bitch Vic, and whether or not such was
by request, Dr. Davenport should know without uncprtainty.
In regard to his cocker bitch Pet H. being bred to his
Kates, I would like much if he would let ns know what Pet
H. this iB. as I see by my books that Col. Stnbbs has never
been bred to a bitch by the name of Flirt; also wonld desire
to know what Snip this is that is claimed to be the sir6 of
his Kute. I am sure that Dr. Davenport will take due pains
to ferret ont the above errors bo vital to himself and the
public, and give ns them in their authenticated form, as well
as clear np the Col. Stnbbs— Flirt nnion. I will add that
Capt. Stnbbs is a legitimate son of my Col. Stubbs, out of
Maud, and that my old stud dog Jet is in nse, and has been
for three years past in use in the Handsome Brook Kennel.

ROD.

A thirteen pound carp is said to have been netted in Car-
qninez straits, near Martinez. The fish was sold for one
dollar. The size is remarkable, although larger fish of the
species have been taken.

A very impressive advertisement is that of Messrs. Cla-
brougb, Goleber & Co., which appears elsewhere, offering
tin st fishing tackle, and the generally known probity of the
firm is sufficient guarantee of the truth of all statements
made in the advertisement. An inspection of their stock is
a liberal education in the refinements of the art of angling.

Mr. M. Lawrence, of the Tallac House, Lake Tahoe, called
on Wednesday to say that prospects for a season of uncom-
monly good trout fishing were excellent at that rarest of
summer resorts. Some creeks near by have been stocked,
so that visitors may have either lake or brook fishing. Tahoe
has given the largest trout caught in the State, one taken
when General Grant visited the place weighing 29| pounds,
and one caught last June by Mr. Crane pulling down 24 lbs.
after being cleaned and the gills removed.

The Tallac Honse will open on May loth.

Mr. E. M. Tod sends from far away Brighton in England,
an article for this week's Bod department that will probably
draw down upon him the anathemas of a large sect of anglers,
those whose affect salmon fishing. We shall be pleased to
receive from Major Traherne what we know will be his elo-
quent rebuttal of Mr. Tod's aspersions, and from any other
incensed angler for salmon any plea that seems suitable to
the gravity of the chargeR. The article opens a whole world
of space for argument and reminiscence. Mr. Tod is always
felicitous, and his writings are fairly classics in angling lit-
erature.

Mr. Edward Fay, in company with a friend, visited famous
old Colonel Dick Doherty at Pnrissima Creek last w^ek, and
fiBhed parts of two days in that popular stream. The trip
was impromptu, Mr. Fay undertaking to provision the party
in the way of "smokes" and other incident?, and a better
provided expedition never enjoyed the charming drive from
San Mateo through the picturesque canyons by Crystal
Springs and Pilaroitos, and from Spanishtown along within
sight and hearing of the Pacific.

The "ardor piscatorius" led the anglers to make necessary
changes immediately upoD reaching Col. Dohertys, and
within a half hour they were casting along in the creek a
mile or so above the oil wells. Three hours fishing produced
about seven pounds of smallish trout, hard &a nails and pretty
as pictures.

An unequalled supper of fresh fried fish, with peaches and
cream, and such rolh as only an angler should ever share,
was a fit ending for the day. The succeeding day, or moBt of
it, was spent in fishing the stream from a point two miles
above the oil wells to tbe county road bridge, a distance of
about four miles. Free casting was prevented by overhang-
ing trees, but during the hours in which the sun wan on the
water the trout took the red spinner and hen pheasant
hackle with orange body freely, and the baskets filled with
gratifying rapidity. The Btream was too high and not clear,
and as an experiment Mr. Fay hunted up a worm, put it on
a fly hook, and dropped into a boiling pool, instantly taking
a quarter pound fish. Other worms followed, and like tisb,
so hat the score for the day was creditable to his skill'.
Some fingerliogs in his basket, but very few. His frie d,
religiously opposed to bait, got only tbe surface feeder*, and
t consequence made a poorer showing in size, although
h.fing the greater number. The weather was perfect, the
c< Qtry fragrant as a rose garden and beautiful as a tiout,
the inglers were happy as larks, and everything was lovely'.
Colonel Dohertys ie a good place to go for clean beds, good
table and painstaking accommodations.

Editor Breeder axd Sportsman:— Oar trout streams are
being rapidly despoiled by the "go as you please" sportsman.
"The Lord for us all, but the devil take the hind-most class."
Three young gentlemen from Petaluma, came over here last
week, aud caught C03 in Bear Valley creek in one day. Piled
away next day to other streams and caught enough to make
about a thousand. We rusticusses who catch what we want
to eat and no more, get the skim milk, the cream of the fish-
ing, the big fish have all been caught.

True sportsmanship should, it seems to me, consist in
good fellowship, skill in shooting and fishing. Not in get-
ting to a stream first and taking everything that can be in-
duced to bite, but in making good casts, catching large fish
and breathing into the tront, sonl and body, inspiration and
breath.

The German, is a type of many sportsmen. "How
did yon sboot those snipe?" said a hunter to the possessor
of a bunch of snipe "on the wing."

"Shoot um any way, makes no difference, in the lege, in
de wing, in de head, anywhere."

Liberty I have heard defined to be, the right to do just aB
you please, as long as you do not t-onflict with the rights of
any one else. Alas! now especially in your cities vox populi,
vox dei. Yes, how a vote deities a man in the rays of the
law makers. How liberty becomes license, when the balance
of power hangs in doubtful poise. I like the position
the Breeder and Sportsman has taken for the pto-
tection of game, and subscribe myself, Tour admirer and
friend, P- J- Shatter.

Salmon vs Trout Fishing.

THEIR respective claims for precedence.

FOR THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN BT E. M. TOD.

Fly fishing nowadays, iar from remaining (if it ever was)
"the contemplative man's recreation," ha6 developed into a
kind of piscatorial arena wherein each man throwB down his
gage and defiantly challenges piscatorial foes much after the
st>le of Paddy at Donnybrook Fair, who, taking off his long-
tailed bine, and trailing it along the ground, sarcastically
invites to mortal combat, thus: "Will any man be plazed to
trid on the tails of me coat," and in writing this paper I feel
very much like old Pat.

I remember meetiug under tbe roof-tree of an old school-
fellow (B. ), who rented a salmon fishery on the Tweed, a
middle-aged Glasgow merchant. B. himself was an excel-
lent sp irtsman, but his friend had begun too late in life ever
"to set the Thames on fire" as a trout fisherman amongst the
wary, "well educated" Tweed trout. He had, I remember,
an exceptionally fine rod by Chevalier whicn he flogged away
with to the terror of the tront. I met him at the river next
season and asked how he was acquiring tbe art of trout fish-
ing, whereon he drew himself leisurely up, starohily, and in a
solemn voice, such as one might have expected from a Metho-
dist parson, he thus addressed me in basso prof undo: "I'm
past that! I am now a salmon fisher!" and then spread his
cheBt out. How my friend (B.) roared when I related this to
him. "Why, confound him (good fellow as he unquestion-
ably is), he can't fish one little bit either for trout or salmon;
and as to his salmon fish ng I'll tell you all about that. One
idle afternoon I myself rowed him into one of my best castB,
and it was a caution to Eee him thrash the water. At last,
standing up in the boat, he declared that he was Bick of it,
and as I certainly was, I began leisurely to row him to shore,
he lazily allowing his line to trail behind him, whilst his rod
rested on his shoulder, when to his surprise (I bad almost
said dismay) there came a tremendous tug, followed by a
running out of his line, and I shouted to him to wheel about,
and that he had hooked a Balmon. After endless muddling
the fish was landed with my assistance, and from that day
to this he airs himself as a salmon fisherman, and has a cut
about trout fishermen of all kinds."

Now, ridiculous as this may seem, this is a true story, and
strange though it may appear, I have had it repeated, in all
its essentials, time and again, up to the present day. Now I
ohould like this subject well thrashed out.

Wherein are Balmon fishermen justified in holding their
art up so highly in comparison with the art of trout fishing?
That there are salmon fishermen worthy of our admiration
and envy, such as Major Traherne and others, no man for
one moment with a grain of sense wishes to deny.

That, however, the salmon fisherman who has to fish a
river where trees and bushes line the bank, and where no
boat is ever used, requires very Bpecial skill, is unquestioned.
Nay, more, when rivers run low and clear, and fish are
shy, and "fine and far off" 13 the only hope of success, even
in a river where a clear cast can always be reckoned upon,
it is donbtless a great treat to watch a consummate master
fishing certain salmon casts.

There are of course many occasions when salmon fiBhing
calls forth the display of very superior skill, particularly in
difficult circumstances, where no boat is employed, and
where "the lie" is at the far and deep Bide of the river, and
the wind somewhat contrary. But I ask if I am not right in
assuming that many a large bag is secured by men who do
not even know how to throw a good line, but who are fortu-
nate in the possesBion of a good salmon river — a good gillie,
or keeper — who, in certain difficult casts, takes the rod and
hands the handsomely hooked fish over to his master to tud,
and who, in any .and every case, directs his movements, se-
lects his flies and gaffB his fiBh "clane and cliver."

Now, why iB this? How is it that the noMe salmon can
fall a prey to one who has no pretension to being a skillful
fisherman and who, like my old Glasgow acquaintance, prob-
ably looks down from his lofty height upon all trout fishing
as an art beneath bis notice?

Let us go into the matter in detail. First, there is your
Loch salmon fisherman who goes annually to Borne salmon
lake, Buch as the famous Loch Tay, or its lesB-famed Notstill
Ford, Loch Navar, or any such Loch. Given really first-
rate tackle, a sound rod and a good reel, will any man tell
me what skill is r°quired here that the boatman does not
possess to a far more important degree than the so-called
fisherman bimBelf?

There he sits, like an automaton, his two ro-ls out, the
boatman having first seen that the lines are all sound and
the lure, be it phantom, minnow or fly, such as he approves
of, for who dare say a good boatman nay, here? Even if
these essentials are satisfactorily arranged, the so-called fish-
erman is a little he.'pless, for tbe salmon lie in certain well
known beats, and here tbe boatman's local knowledge is
everything. He mint row exactly to the right b<iys, be may
go right across tbe loch at certain places, knowing as he
does from long experience just where to go. Moreover, he
must row at a proper place, no easy matter, and help when
the tieh iB hooked by winding up the spare rod, finishing
by gaffing tbe fish, save when two boatmen are employed,
when one undertakes the care of the boat and the other helps
the so-called fisherman from start to finish — with his fish.
Under such oirourastanoes, the running (?) of your fish, with

an open sea before you, and strong twisted gut, ought to be
reckoned as anything but an auglirg feat, provided always
that no untoward accident occurs, which demands nn-
nsnal self-possession, nerve and readiness of resource on
Piscator's part.

Again, we shall consider the fishing in certain very broad
rivers, where the casts are thus fished, the trolling rods are
out, and the boat is pulled across tbe river slowly and
methodically, and then makes its return journey, and so on
until a mighty tug announces that "his honor is into him."

The fisherman may be meanwhile chatting gayly with his
boatman, smoking a cigar, or reading the last new novel. He
has still time to seize his rod, and depends on the presence
of mind of his boatman, largely, for the first few anxious
minutes, and of course for the final coup de fer, tbe gaffing
of the fish.

And, yet again be iB now fishing a river with fly casting
from a boat. Does not a skilful boatman anticipate his every
throw? Does he not by a pull of hia oar, straighten a line
sent out very feebly in a bag? And does he not know how
"to hang" the boat over the very best parts of the cast?

Nay, more even where a river can be commanded from the
bank by occasional wading, how often does the salmon fish-
erman throw anything but a good straight, "clean" line,
ret with the help of the current, and the taking of the fly, it
straightens before it is half way across, and thus many a fish
is secured even to the unskilful salmon angler.

This may appear to be an exaggerated and onesided picture
— and of course, my object is to dwell upon the successful
men who are not finished sportsmen, and yet who, (some-
how) make good bags when "salmo salar" iB plentiful fresh
run, and keen and rivers are in good ply.

Moreover, there are men who consider it in no way "de-
grading" to hand their rods (their salmon rods) to the gillies
when fatigued or whenever they come to a more than usually
awkward, or long "throw," and who calmly tell you that they
always reckon the fiBh thus caught a part of their own day's-
performance.

As I have had to argue that this is a very unsportsmanlike
performance, and most misleading, as a matter of fact — and
this with friendB whom I respect in other matters I shall be
grateful if Major Traherne or any such unquestionable au-
thority wonld express his views unflinchingly in this matter.
It would then become "a code" of honor, or dishonor, for the
futnre guidance of salmon fishermen.

My feelings found vent when on one occasion, I handed a
rod to a gillie, being in considerable pain from lumbago, that
day —

"Oh!" he said, "If 1 hook a fish, you can land him, sir.
That will count for you all the same."

I looked at the man steadily, and said, "Do you think that
I would land, far less count as mine, any fish which you
hooked? I would see you hanged first, my good fellow."

For to me the casting of the line, the delight of the rise,
and the first pull are the very essence of salmon fishing. Net
that I despise "the run, "if I hook my own fish fairly — for I
love it all.

I make no apology to those who are real past masters id
the art of Balmon fishing, for my paper is wholly inapplicable
to such.

I merely wish to take up the ground that I have chosen to
bring this matter to a crisis, namely, that your middle-aged
Mr. Briggs, may, provided he can only rent firstrate salmon
fishing, come home and boast, certainly after his second sea-
son, ff not before, of bags of Falmon, which will Beem to
imply the possession of a superior skill, than which nothing
may be lurther from the truth. Whereas if he took np the
flyfishing for trout in any famous stream (fly fishing in a
Sutherlandshire loch is hardly worthy the name, it is 60
unscientific and easy), I would Btrongly question if he would
be even heard of. It surely must be conceded that the trout
in rivers which are much fished become shy and knowing to
a very remarkable degree. Whereas vour Lordly Salmon
spends much of his time in the sea, and when he returns to
his native river he goes at some fly which jumps about, aud
which he never saw the like of since he was last in fresh
water (and then only when attached to a line) and becomes
hooked.

Local knowledge, the knowledge of the boatman or gillie,
is a factor towards Buccess in all rivers of the greatest impor-
tance.

Moreover, the rod and line used are wonderfully strong,
capable of holding any fish, if you give him fair play, and
hence, I consider that there may be much bungling with the
running of the fish, and for all that possibly a successful
issue.

Now, in the case of river trout fishing, comparing a famous
salmon river with a famous trout stream, what a difference
exists!

First of all the tront gut must be of gossamer fineness, and
the flies made with great delicacy. Everything suggesting
delicacy of manipulation.

Moreover, tbe trout (only too well eduacted nowadays) can
detect the smallest error in casting, and are "put down" in a
moment.

It takes a man to know his work, to cast a eood clean line
at every throw with dead fine drawn gnt. Should a good
fish rise, a flurried strike, such as your green hand gives to
a salmon (and yet lives to land the ill-used fish) I say a strike
such as this and goodbye to your tront and half of your cast-
line.

Dry fly men will kindly say, who have killed trout in the
Test, Itchen, etc., and also salmon in Scotland, Ireland and
Norway, which requires th« greater amount of skill.

Nay more, we Northern men, who use the finest gut we
can buy for our wet fly fishing, are of opinion that itrequires
many years to make an out-and-out good fly fisherman for
trout, whereas, if I had not been drawing upon my imagina-
tion, it would appear that, given money and a first-rate sal-
mon river, any ordinary middle-aged man seems to be able
to make a good— a fairly good— record as a slayer of salmon
occasionally.

I am not rich and do not own a salmon river, and conse-
quently I may be twitted with tbe fable of the fox and the
grapes.

I am however, indifferent to snob chaff, for I have long
held it as a matter of faith, based on observation, that to be
a fairly successful salmon iishermau does not always imply
eqoivaleut skill, whereas no man can "win his laurels" on
ftL.y hard thrashed river, famous all the same for its tront
fishing, who is not a master of bis art to a greater or less
degree; and the reasons are not far to seek, he is trying to
outwit a foe who remains in the river all the year round,
seeing countless artificial flie6 in tbe conr6e of each season]
and who. beiog in the daily habit of feeding on tbe delicate
ephemera, of which tbe aitificial trout fly is as close a resem-
blance as the art of the fly-dresser can make it, can tbua
make notes and comparisons in a way that the salmon can-
not do seeing that the so-called salmon fly is a fly only by
courtesy, and represents no natural fly whatever, and bein"
"a likeness" of nothing "in Heaven above, the earth beneath^

or tlie water under the earth." Yon, oh! salmon fisherman,
may make aD idol of your favorite without being guilty of
idolalry. Witness the endless and ever growing pattern-flies
with which the market is deluged, and which emanate from
the brain of any fellow who likes to bring out and christen,
and kill a h'sh with a new fly, for surely there can be no rule,
no true scientific reason assigned for the multitudinous pat-
terns which the salmon are supposed to affect, and which no
man can prove resemble even the shrimp in color or shape;
though it may do so in motion, when the fly is being played.

The gillie it is who indicates the "lies" of the ti»h thus:
"Now, sir, get well over and look oat; you are coming to the
best of the eastP And again, "Now, sir you are past it, you
will only waste time fishing lower down, bnt try another fly
over it again," and so forth. How much does Midas owe, to
his gillie when he goeth a salmon fishing, and to the "tip"
that Master Gillie is angling for all the time? Verb, sat. sap.

Now a really good trout fisherman Bhould be able to walk
out alone and unaided, and will generally render a good ac-
count of himself, even if no guide go with him.

And though the dry fly man may not allow that the" wet fly
proficient can fish alongside of him (and I for one am of this
opinion) yet will the wet man soon make a good expert, even
at the first attempt, and if be be truly skilled, his line will
be thrown with accuracy, and his touch when the rise comes
will prove him no bungler, and so with the converse. But
eee oar middle aged beginner with, gossamer taokle, well
used to "jerk it into him" when salmon fishing. "See him
at work and you will find that his gossamer gut ia all over
the shop." Not one good cast in a dozen, and when he

strikes, depend on it be swears afterwards that bis fishing
tackle maker has supplied him with gut which was rotten.
Ahem!

This paper has hitherto dealt exclusively with fly fishing
by means of the artificial fly. Salmon fishing with the min-
now and worm and spawn are all of them at best but sorry
Babstitutes for fly fishing. I, would take op too much space
to go into these matters in detail here, bnt minnow fishing
for salmon is surely not a refined art, no more is eilmon
fishing with the worm so well described by Dnn Scotua in
hie prize eBsay, and who with sporting prociivities cares to
think of prawn fishing for salmon? A kind of butchery of a
noble fish fit only for Mr. Greedy-Grab, but deBpised by the
true fisherman, as sport. It is far other with trout fishing,
and those who have read works like Stewart's Practical An-
gler, will be ready to acknowledge that the art of billing
trout in clear water with fly, worm, minnow, creeper and
May fly is at once a comprehensive and a subtle art, full of
study and knowledge only possessed By the few, taking
years of close observation and patient industry to acquire,
and demands an intimate knowledge of the habits, yes and
the habitat of the trout, wherever, as in moBt of our North-
ern rivers, sport is not restricted to the use of the artificial
fly.

Think you, that our father Midas— Briggs, who can boast

of his salmon successes could throw a worm, a creeper, or a

May-fly np stream for trout, and manage his line with all the

delicacy required? not to mention minnow fishing, which

j requires leBS refinement of skill in my opinion.

And yet, we must be patient if we bear men spfak of trout

fishing in patronizing tf rm«, and who (o pavp their very lives
could neither throw over a rising ti.-h wit bom "putting ) ini
down" — nor strike without smashing tLe ensiinc line — and
who possesses about as much knowledge nf the buhiti* of tie
fish, as the boot black who charges you 2-pence for a pcien-
tific "shine" — and won't refuse a "shiner" itself, if you offer
it to him.

I have now trailed my coat along the ground, and wait to
see if any eentleman will tread on its tails.

I think that my meaning may be thns summed up.

Salmon fishing, where fish are very plentiful is much more
quickly acquired than tront h'shiDg, even where the trout are
plentiful, unless perhaps where they are never fished for,
and are not very shy.

Salmon are of course not affected by this cauBe from one
year to another.

When fi-h lie long in a pool, I grant yon they get "down."
but whether that is because they are drowsy, or sulky, or
angry, deponent sayeth not.

I can Bee the trout feeding naturally at the fly, and go for
him. There you are!

"With salmon you have no such law of nature to guide and
direct you, and practically go on casting in faith— trusting
Micawber-like, "for someting to turnup." The old Scotch
proverb seems to come in very handy as a finale.

"Money makes the meer (mare) to go whether she has legs
or no."

This seems specially so in salmon fishing, if my observa-
tions have not led me to false conclusions.

Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
01. d heat of which was made in 2:31 M, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old,
and had it not been tor a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he would have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland

trotted quarters in from 82£j to 31 Beconds.

DESCRIPTION.

JUDGE McKTNSTRY is a bright bay with black
points, lOJf hands in height, of a conformation com-
bining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot oe excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for th*-ir gameness and fleetness . ^peakin of
JUDGE McKINsTRY. Matt Storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horne I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelouB.one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He
was started in Beveral races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well knnwn to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us to
name both sires.

Terms: $7o payable when the mare is moved from
ranch, or, $100, with the usual privilege. Good pastur-
age, $3 per month. Mares at owners risk, All com-

Mr. Peter Brandow's statement In regard to Prince
Imperial: "I met A. Weakelnthe Park in 1887 driving
the above horse, both strangers to me. I was driving
a good Ivrsp, but the above horse, b itched to a phaeton,
beat me easily. I followed him to find out what horse
it wa-i.and he fin illy allowed me to hi'ch him to a
sulky, wluch I did, ami drove him easily in 2: 1%, I
think him Ol»P amongst the best horses in California,
and firmly believe that in six lmmthB I can drive him
in 220." I'etek Bu n dow.

Racing* in England as it is.

BY BOBDEBEB.

Wonderful have been the changes wrought in our national
apart of racing within the last twenty years, so much so that
our older turf habitues are fairly carried off their legs and
unable fully to realize the new state of things as compared
with the old. Id fact, hardly a trace remains of the old
regime to show where the new order of things became linked
to it. The Jockey Club, indeed, still remains a self-consti-
tuted body of the highest aristocracy, and to outward appear-
ance continues to hold its own.

In solid truth our turf legislators have been considerably
shaken in their shoes, and have had to choose between mov-
ing with the times or abdicating their functions. With true
British instinct they have chosen the onward course, and
being led by the power of money invested in racing and race-
courses near all our great centers of population have had to
use their own pet heath at Newmarket for gate-money meet-
ings like Manchester, Kempton, Sandown, Derby and Lei-
cester, minus their unsightly boarding3 and shilling turn-
stiles. The Jockey Club has acted wisely and well. It has
not turned its back on the new regime, consequently its
large outlay in the purchase of land and the gifts of large
stake3 to be run at Newmarket, without a corresponding
increase of popular support, have rendered Newmarket and
Its patrons poor by comparison with the other great racing
arenas I have named. Were it not, indeed, for the steady
revenue of the heath tax, which has been put as high as
possible, and which, wonderful to say, has driven very few
horses or trainers away, although it has made it the most
«xDensive place as a training ground, the Jockey Club could
not carry on financially.

New blood has been freely let into the club, and there
never was a time, I believe, in the history of the turf when
wrong doing was so hotly pursued and punished, or when a
wholesome dread of detection had such a purifying effect on
owner, trainer and jockey alike. From the traditional £50
plate or the sweepstakes of £10 each, when everybody ran
i jr his own money, we have advanced so rapidly that in 1S90
we are to have a race across the fiat (one mile and a quarter)
for £10,000. There can be no doubt that the half-million or
so of money now annually run for in Great Britain will in
1890 have considerably increased, and as a necessary conse-
quence the price of our best race-horses must increase. That
racing will become more international as one year succeeds
another I have no doubt. Already America has won our
biggest races, and Australia is preparing to fling down the
gauntlet in 1890. She labors, however, under the difficulty of
being in the antipodes, and her foals are born at a time of
year unsuitable to the English time of taking their ages.
This, however, is to be remedied, and does not apply to
America. Curiously enough we have now no ft.merican-bred
hoiBes running in England, but this unaccountable lull in
American enterprise is not likely to last long.

Cannot some enterprising ship-owner or designer invent a
means for lessening the risk and improving the comforts of
horses crossing the ocean? What a valuable patent that
would be. Thousands of men and women think no more
of crossing the Atlantic nowadays than of going to Berlin or
Borne, and if they could take with them for the out.ng such
horses as are capable of filling their pockets with dollars or
sovereigns, as the case may be, how the pleasure of their
trips would be enhanced.

Racing is at its zenith in England, and, without doubt, the
craze for high stakes and expensive horses will spread
throughout the civilized world. Three of our riohest noble-
men engaged in racing won by far the largest amount of
money last year. The Dnke of Portland is head of the poll,
although Lord Calthorpe is within a couple of hundred
pounds of him, both having won upward of £26,000 during
the season. The Dnke of Westminster comes third, and the
csmmonera are nowhere. The Scotch millionaire who won
under the name of Mr. Abington, and who has an immense
stnd spread throughout several different training stables, has
had a disastrous season, winning only about £5,000 when his
forfeits alone ate reported to reach £40,000. Add to this his
trainers' bills, and it will at once be seen that even £100,000
a year will not long stand snch a strain, especially if his
losses in backing horses are reckoned on the debit Bide of
the account. The most remarkable thing, however, about
this young gentleman, who rejoices io. being designated as
tho " 'Squire of Newmarket," is that he would rather travel
two hundred miles to ride in aforty-pound hunters' race than
to see one of his best horses run in a big event. Every spare
hour of the day he delights in riding gallops and trials, and
his friendships are almost entirely with jockeys, trainers and
hangers-on. How our opportunities are sometimes thrown
away Mr. Abington might have aspired to become a mem-

ber of the Jockey Club; as it is he is content with being a
jockey and nothing more. Talking of jockeys, what a mar-
velous change the death of Fred Archer has made in the
present status of onr jockeys! His marked superiority acted
like a dead weight on the majority of the younger jockeys,
and they seemed incapable of an effort. Now, on the con-
trary, they are all heads and tails; there is little to choose
between them. John Osborne and Fred Webb, of the elder
jockeys, alone remain in the front rank, and neither aspires
to the premiership of Archer, fine horsemen that they both
are. Consequently the younger jockeys are pressing for-
ward. The two Barrett brothers never throw a ohance
away.

When we turn to our race-horses of the present day, can
we say that tbey have improved in the same ratio as the
stakeB that they run for? I trow not. Considering the enor-
moUB number of race-horses that are bred, and the immense
care and untold expense that are lavished on their bringing
up and training, the weeding out that takes place ere the
starting post is reached its tremendous. Weak limbs and
roaring are the lot of too many. Faint hearts, bad tempers
and roguish ways eliminate not a few. while of the rest want
of pace weedB out a lot, and failure of staying powers still
farther reduces the ranks of our good ones. Even then, are
our cboBen few better than in days gone by? This is a moot
point on which doctors differ.

Giving an humble opinion individually, I think not. We
have too many short races, and therefore speed is the first
great requisite. Our two-year-olds are over-worked and over-
tried at home. I long to see a return to the half-mile races
for two-year-olds up to the middle of Jane. It was a grave
mistake ever doing away with them. They told us where to
look for speed and staying powers, and kept back our big,
growing two-year-olds till the season for showing their best
powers at maturity had arrived.

Four-year-olds and upward should never be allowed to
start for races under a mile, except in selling races or handi-
caps, and thus we should gradually have some sound and
seasoned horses to try conclusions over our cup courses, and
their popularity might be revived.

When we review our present great and fashionable strains
of blood it becomes apparent that the Stockwell blood is on
the wane; that Newminster is at its zenith, and that Yolti-
geur has a coming appearance; Weatherbit is stationary, and
Birdcatcher is still very strong.

Bend Or fitly sustains the Stockwell line, and he does it
nobly, for he is undoubtedly the most perfectly shaped horse
in England. He has filled out into the model of a horse, in
my opinion, and I go periodically to gaze on him in his box
and in the paddock, just as a connoisseur would go to the
academy to look at a favorite picture, and I never come away
disappointed. His pictore, by a celebrated German artist.
Herf Adam, adorns this month's magazine. But Bend Or
has no living oompeers unless Robert the Devii can be called
one, for he has shown us a few good sons and daughters.
Blair Athol's sons and grandsons are not a patch on his great
self. Nor are Rataplan's descendants doing much for poster-
ity, if we except Ben Battle. I always look upon Glencoe as
the strength of the Stockwell and Rataplan pedigree, and
lucky indeed was America to import him in the early days of
its horse-loving history. He only was used in England one
season, and what an inheritance he left us in Pocahontas!
What has he not done for the conntry of his adoption in
being the sire of Lexington and the grandsire of ever so many
good horses, not the least of which was Umpire, a grand-
daughter of whom, and on the sire's side a granddaughter of
dear old Thormanby, I am proud of as an owner, and expect
great things from her judicious mating.

Newminster, as I have said, is, as regards the reputation
of his progeny, at his zenith.

Hermit has been his great trumpeter, and still lives in
hearty enjoyment of old age, a fortune to his owner, Mr-
Chaphn, and a credit to his country. His sons and daughters
have won something approaching £150,000, and are begin-
ning to make a name for themselves at the stud second only
to that of their sire. No one who saw Hermit on his memor-
able Derby day, as he walked round the bush in the middle
of the Epsom paddock alone and almost unnoticed, with
every hair on his coat standing the wrong way, tucked up so
much that you could almost have pinched him through, and
his apparently weak loins would have foretold a career in the
future for him scarcely beyond that of a cab hor0e. How
well I recollect that bitterly cold day, offering 50 to 1 against
him to a friend after we had looked him over, and his declin-
ing to do business with me at the price. And yet that horse
has proved himself the most valuable acquisition to English
racing, next to Stockwell, in the present century, and in his
old age seems as vigorous and happy as ever.

Hampton, a grandson of Newminster, has also reaohed the
top of the tree. His stock being hardy, good-constitutioned

animals, wear well on the turf, but in my opinion he will
never reach the fame of the Hermit.

I have ventured to say that the blood of Yoltigeur is com-
ing. In this I allude especially to Galopin and St. Simon.
The former, indeed, has already come, for he was at the top
of the tree last season, and one of his two -year- olds, Donovan,
has landed £20,000, th6 largest sum ever won by a two-year-
old. Galopin himself was an undeniably good horse on the
turf, although hot-headed aad nervous. He did not strike
critics as the makings of a great sire, but he 1b sound and
comes of the good old staying blood of Blacklock, that tells a
tale in these degenerate days. Galopin has a wonderful
future before him. St. Simon, too, is a young sire of the
same blood, and I am bold, perhaps, to prophesy in his case,
but I do so with confidence, because he combines Bpeed with
endurance, and he is having such a wonderful chance given
him by his noble owner, the Duke of Portland, that the blue
blood of England's mares are his lot, and his yearlings that I
have seen are splendidly racing-like. The Beadsman blood
through Rosicrucian, Blue Gown and their sons, cannot be
said to be in the ascendant. The former has had grand
chances, and I am compelled to say has lamentably failed,
especially in his sons and in staying powers. The Blue
Gowns and Cceruleuses are pudgy, slow horses that never
rise into the first class. Birdcatcher still brilliantly illumi-
nates our turf horizon now and again with his Sterlings, but
they are not everyday horses, and, with the exception of
Isonomy, have blossomed only to deceive. Isonomy, how-
ever, was a first-class horse himself all round, and his stock
bids fair to keep the great name of Birdcatcher alive for
another ten years at least.

Springfield and Camballo represent the Orlando tribe, akin
to NewminBter, as direct scions of Touchstone, but I have
never loved the handsome brown son of St. Albans, as nearly
all his stock have a soft spot in their constitutions, and I
much prefer the hardy little Camballo, which has fairly held
his own in public estimation by the good deeds of his stock.
Melbourne is becomiog well nigh forgotten, except among his
grauddaughters, a fact I greatly deplore, because I believe
the value of the Melbourne blood for size, constitution and
staying powers cannot be over-estimated. Treasure it, my
friends, whenever yon can get hold of it, for it fits so exactly
to cross with Hermit or Galopin.

Racing nowadays naturally seems to gravitate toward the
rich, and almost all of our noblemen keep breeding stads and
rear their own yearlings, entering them freely in all the rich
stakes, most of which have to be closed while they are foals
or yearlings. It is therefore wonderful that such an immense
trade should be done outside the select coterie of the Jockey
Club in breeding establishments whose one aim and object is
to breed for sale, follow the fashion and make money. Some-
thing like one thousand yearlings change hands annually in
this way, the majority under the hammer, and the aspirant
to racing honors has no difficulty in putting together a stud
of yearlings at very short notice. The judgment, however,
to be displayed in the operation must be something out of
the common, if he succeeds at the first attempt. I could
enumerate failures without end, but there are, I am glad to
say, a few trainers whose judgment in this line stands very
high, and whose proteges have profited accordingly. The
idosyncracies of breeding are proverbial, and akin to horse-
racing there is nothing so uncertain or puzzling. "Borderer"
has dipped into it with varying success. Hib first venture
was probably the most curious. He bought a fine Thunder-
bolt mare, and in due time she produced him a diminutive
brown foal, so small and mean looking that the owner of the
sire advised him not to try the same cross again, and he took
that advice. So weak was* thisfoalthat it used to walk round
its dam with its ankle bones touching the ground; in fact, it
looked quite deformed. One day he had the gun loaded and
had ordered his stud-groom to shoot it, but the little beggar
seemed io plead for its life when it came up and licked his
hand, and it was spared, and in July was weaned in tho
hopes of improving it. Matters now became worse. It
declined all the best things offered to it. It lapped milk like
a dog, and could not be pursuaded to drink like any other
horse. The only thing that grew was its coat, and it became
the veriest little rough mountain pony. In one time, much
to his delight, "Borderer" chanced on a customer, an Austra-
lian, at £50— the best Bale be ever effected. In the autumn
of the same year, the colt being then a yearling, he heard
that it had been sold for £100, and that Tom Jennings, then
in his z-nith as the trainer of the great French stable, had
bought it.

In due time it had a name and was notic-
reports, bat did not see a race-course as a twi

earned the Dame amoDg tbe Newmarket touts of "The Steam
Engine."

"Borderer" was so struck with the prowess of this despised
colt of his that he went purposely to see Jennings about it.
The veteran trainer was perfectly frank. "I cannot think,"
said he, "what made me buy the colt. I didn't want him,
and didn't like him. He looked like a foal, and as a two-
year-old was only a yearling. He kept coming on, however,
and the more I worked him the better he got. I did not
value him and did not spare him, but every lime I tried him
the better he went, and" now I have nothing that can beat
him. He is a grand cup horse. ,T So Jennings sold him to
some French count for 4,000 francs, and his name was Paul's
Crai*. The dam was sold for a large sum and never produced
ano'ther worth anything. Moral: Never despair.

You may breed your best horse when you least expect it.
Such stories could be no doubt repeated ad infinitum, but
the above I will vouch for to the uttermost. I have yet to
learn the secrets and the leading attributes of the American
and colonial turf, but I was interested in reading Lord Hast-
ings' opinion on colonial racing in Australia, and how muoh
he was impressed with the strides that had been accomplished
in it, especially iu the comfort afforded to the general public
as distinguished from the select few aristocratic patrons who
are pandered to in British grand-stands, while the roar and
bustle of the ring are placed almost in their midst. I often
wonder whether we shall ever take this matter to heart in
this country. The betting rings are so placed as to make the
whole sport a seeming bear garden. For the moment the
numbers go up the odds are roared to the exclusion of all
else. The nice parade that is gone through in Australia
hardly ever takes place in England, except on very great
occasions, and the swells are compelled to rush about with
their books and pencils to moke their bets almost as indus-
triously as the professionals roar the odds and enter their
bets. While all this is going on the ready-money men are
plying their trade vigorously, for not all the threatB and male-
dictions against ready-money betting have shaken its posi-
tion. That and starting-price betting now hold sway, and
thousands who never see a race-course or subscribe a shilling
toward the sport bet "on the tape," as it is called. That is,
they invest their money on a certain horse or horses at start-
ing price and await the result of the telegraph giviDg the
winner, sitting quiBtly at home or in a bar parlor.

I may be Utopian in my ideas on the subject of betiing,
which are these: Parliament will not legalize it, that is out of
the question, but it mignt be licensed by giving a charter to
the Jockey Club and allowing that body to license betting
under stringent rules in certain places on race-courses. Here
ready-money betting by the list might be carried on with
advantage to all concerned by the establishment of bureaux,
where the amount of the stake might be limited, or not, at
the pleasure of the authorities, and a large revenue to racing
might be obtained by these means. This would soon put an
end to private betting houseB, which have sprung up in all
our towns, and make betting entirely confined to race-
courses, where those only who can affurd it would be found,
and by their ready-money investments less ruin would be
entailed than by the present system on thoughtless youths,
who fling their all away in a few months at the beck of our
leading bookmakers.

Race-oourses, were my system carried out, would be free
from most of the annoyances that now beset them, and more
time could be given to the enjoyment of seeing the horses and
their jockeys. We Bhould then become more international.
• At present I cannot speak from personal experience of
foreign racing, but the pleasure of an introduction to it shall
not be long delayed. — Outing.

one man, who, a trainer of young performers, 6tands by the
records as far above all others as Electioneer does above other
horses in power to produce phenomenal colt-trotters. A few
facts will help to determine the part climate plays in the
matter. Fred Crocker was the Erst trotter to beat 2:26 at
two years old. He was not worked for speed until June 5,
1SS1, and trotted in 2:2o£ in November. Hinda Rose was the
first to set a high yearling mark. She got her first lesson in
speed on July 5, 1881, and on November 5th trotted a mile
in 2:44£, which ahe lowered on the 14th to 2:36£. This
stood until tbe autumn of 1S87, when Sudie D. broke it.
That came as a surprise to Palo Alto but though it was
already October, Marvin went to work on Norlaine, and in
November he drove her in 2:3U, thus making a new record.
Sunol was, of course, broken as a yearling, got a little work
through the winter, but never was driven a mile until July,
1888, and she made her record of 2:18 on October 27th. _ A
few of many such examples will suffice. Is there anything
in our climate to prevent working colts precisely as Fred
Crocker, Hinda Kose and Norlaine were worked?

Developing Speed.

In a recent interview with L, C. Ryerson, of Auburn,
Mass., we asked him, says the Auburn Gazette, to give us
his views in regard to handling young horses bo as best to
develop their full speed capacity, with the least risk of injur-
ing them in any way, either physically or mentally.

The major has had a large experience with horses, and has.
brought out several first class performers, that to commence
with, were not animals of great natural speed, such as Chub,
2:27, Old Maid, 2:36, trial 2:20, etc. He is, moreover, a man
who reads and thinks, and can render a reason for every
statement that he makes. He believes with us that the
ultimate speed of a colt depends as much ou having him
handled right as on having him bred right.

He says, when you wish to develop speed in a horse, don't
work them too often, as he is convinced that the prevalent
idea that a horse in training should be jogged every day is
wrong, both in theory and practice. Let them be worked
every other day, and they will show a more elastic gait and
improve in speed much more rapidly, than if their muscles
are strained and their ardor cooled by daily work; but when
they are worked he would not attempt to show speed with
them until driven quite a distance and opened out once or
twioe for short spurts so as to get the wire wedge off.

The major don't believe in putting weights on to horses'
feet to any great extent; when it is necessary to ubo them at
all he would begin with light ones and increase as needed,
instead of trying to start with big action and then be obliged
to have it grow less.

If a horse is beiog fitted for races he would not previous
to the race wherein the animal was expected to start keep up
a continuous struggle against the watch in fast miles and
repeat at the top of their .speed, and pluck at the supreme
moment of the race. The wisdom of this course was mani-
fest in the race he had with Old Maid at the state fair at
Lewiston, when she got her record of 2:36. In the heat when

she obtained that record, the major was sent off away be-

hind the rest of a large field of horses, bat when he got the | When will the demand for the beat cease

Old Maid settled to the work he cut the field down one by
one trotting the last quarter at a 2:20 gait. Had the reserve
of speed been used up beforehand in the useless trails he
would not have got there.

An article in Wallace's Montly on California's rank in
breeding, attributes her success in producing phenomenal
colts more to their method of training than to its climatic
advantages. The great colt trainer, Charles Marvin, sayB:
"If I had a stable of youngsters with which I wished to
accomplish the highest results, I would rather take my
chances in the East— Bay in Kentucky or Tennessee— than
California. Colt trotters can be produced in New England
as well as in California from equally aB good material nnd
with as good methods of development. Climate didn't carry
Sunol a mile in 2:18."

But we will be asked to account for the fact that the fastest
yearling, two-year-old, three-year-old and four-year-old reo-
ords stand to the credit of California. Is it not worth consider-
ing that the record yearling, two-year-old and four-year-old
were kindred in blood, and were developed by one special
and particular method? They were educated and driven by

Progress of tbe Trotter and High Prices.

[From the Kentucky Stock Firm.]

New York, March 30. — The recent sale of California-bred
trotters in this city ha6 been so widely commented upon that
I feel impelled to call your attention to a few thoughts of my
own in connection with this interesting event. To a close
student of breeding it will be observed that the prices which
have attracted most attention, suoh as $26,000 for Mascot,
were obtained at public outcry for horses that were Clays in
the male line, thus showing a marked change in public senti-
ment regarding this deserving but neglected family. While
the Hambletonians, and indeed any other family line — even
the outsider Smuggler at $40,000 — were bringing extreme
prices through a period of twenty years, no outcry against
"overdoing," "booms, " "unhealthy prices," etc., was raised
till aStamboul sold for $50,000 and a Mascot for $26, 000. Hith-
erto a few breeders and buyers would barely tolerate Clay
blood in a dam, but nothing more; now this family, in the
direct male line, is in demand and bids fair to reach the
prom neuce that its merits deserve, while foolish prejudice
and thoughtless neglect stand confounded and abashed in
the presence of public approval. Verily, the world moveB!
This, however, is merely incidental to what I started to
write.

Over a quarter of a century ago, when our country had but
few wealthy men — that is, wealthy as we now understand the
term, many-time millionaires — the fast trotter was a chance
production of the average farmer. At that time speed in the
roadster of turf performer was quite generally looked upon aB
all chance. Gradually statistics bearing upon records and
breeding were collected, and to a few intelligent enthusiasts
it began to look as though in time trotters could be bred with
a fair degree of certainty, by heedihg the primary lessons of
the records. Coincident with this, our country spread out in
healthy growth in a most astonishing manner. The once rare
millionaire, confined to a few Eastern cities, became as plen-
tiful through out the entire land as the proverbial huckle-
berry, and "the west,-' the plains, the mountains themselves
seemed to fairly teem with men of enormous fortunes made
from the various enterprises incidental to our national de-
velorpment, such aB railroads, manufacturing and mining,
and extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Men of
large wealth, particularly those who build up their own
fortunes are filled wiih restleBs activity even in their pleas-
ures. They may turn from their regular pursuits to some
sort of a toy that requires some thought to manage, not a
ready-made mechanism that is mastered at a glance. Men
closely occupied with large affairs need fresh air, sunshine,
exercise, excitement, change of thought, pleasure, all closely
allied aud pressed together in their brief hours of relaxation.
In years gone by Robert Bonner and Commodore Vanderbilt
set the fashion for this class, [and now that this country has
well filled up with thousands of men similarly situated, is it
any wonder that such shining examples should be closely
copied? Such men represent a clasB that is rapidly becom-
ing immense in numbers, and they find their inclinations
tending toward the highest type of animal life for amuse-
ment. They cannot ride thoroughbreds with pleasure and
they do not wish to turn to racing them. They can drive
trotters; they are praotical enough to realize the dual uses
of horses like Maud S., Jay-Eye-See and St. Julien. They
first get a mild case of breeding fever through a hope to
breed a few fast ones, for personal use, from a favorite road
mare or two; then they study up a few breeding points, find
that the subject broadens and deepens with investigation,
and finally they give up fully to the fascinations of their
new-found toy and venture money into it largely. They
must spend part of their large means for pleasure— all cannot
be utilized in mere necessities of life — and they find no
such pleasures in accumulating books, jewels, paintings, etc.,
as in breeding fine stook. They want to prove to the world
that there oan be a science in breeding trotters rather than a
mere chance, and their business experience prompts them to
use only the best material. They know that only the high-
est price gets the best, so they compete with each other for
the best. They are not bleeding entirely for profit; they
hope to make their pleasure self-supporting. They soon
begin to long for glory, to breed a world beater, and the suc-
cess of other wealthy breeders like Alexander and Senator
Stanford encourages them to continue. They have no fear
of financial failure, because they are using mere surplus
money, and glory to come will be a fair offset to monied
losses.

Meantime, Europe and other portions of the world come to
us for trotting horses, showing that the market is broadening.

Mascot sells at

$26,000 under the hammer, aud the alarmists cry, stop!
While the sound is still ringing in our ears South America,
a newcomer, steps in and buys one of our sensational trot-
ters, Prince Wilkes, for about $30,000, merely for trotting
purpoBes, where trotting is in its infancy, and just as an or-
der comes from Europe to also buy our best turf performers
regardless of price. What! Btop buying and breeding the
best when the world at large has just commenced offering us
large prices for merely geldings? How long will it be before
foreigners will also want our beet stallions and brood mares
at the rate they are now buying?

Next, are the prices now current for our best stock any too
high? Why, for twenty-five years past $25,000 to $40,000
have steadily ruled for exceptionally good ones in a small,
contracted market, and before the breeding was so good or
the speed as great as at present. Maud S. cost Mr. Bonner
$40,000j yet Pocahontas cost him considerably more, many
years ago. And what does the reader suppose was shown
for the price? Merely one-quarter of a mile in 34 seconds in
a race! Why did not some one then raiBe the cry of "boom,"
"Btop," "ruination?" She wa6 Dot a Clay. Less than three

years ago I had a bona fide purchaser for Maud S. at $125,-
000— a fact not heretofore madeknown publicly — but nothing
came of it, as Mr. Bonner had declared that even a quarter
of a million dollars would not induce him to sell her. I know
that I could, in a few hours, place my haud on a purchaser
for Electioneer at $100,000 cash, if he was for Bale, and he
is verging on old age at that. About twenty years ago Ham-
bletonian's service fee was $500. and that was considered an
nnapproachable figure for generations to come; yet, to-day
there are several Btallions with books full at that price. Re-
cently I was bid $1,000 cash for the privilege of using the
service of Electioneer which Senator Stanford had presented
to me (and which I purpose using for myself this year), a
price never before equalled for the service of a trotting Btal-
lion, and double that commanded by his own sire. Who
doubtB that Electioneer would readily command $1,500 to
$2,000a mare, if he was in Kentucky ? These figares will il-
lustrate the probabilities that are yet in store for trotting
stock. Stamboul sold for $50,000 and $75,000 has since been
bid for him, and it will not be long before $100,000 will be
the ruling price for our best stook, and SI, 000 to $1,500 the
stud fee for our great stallions. I expect to see the best
trotting-bred brood mares command from £25,000 to $30,000
within five years. At the risk of inviting ridicule, I will
state that the majority of breeders seem to miss a material
point that clearly indicates the road to be taken for future
success. They blindly pin their faith to the 2:30 list instead
of the 2:20 list.

From the lime that Messenger first reached our shores till
the present day, the Messengers in the male line have been
the public favorites almost to the exclusion of all else. For
a long time, till he made a name distinctly his own, Ham-
bletonian (and his get as well) wab lauded as a Messenger.
Mambrino Chief was taken to Kentucky, because he was also
a Messenger. As the Messenger line was eventually subdi-
vided into Bub-families, finally called Hambletonians; Mam-
brinos, Champions, etc., bo will the greatest of all these, the
Hambletonians, finally crystalize into two or possibly three
great sub-lines. We have already outlived the 2:30 list as a
mark of merit, and in a few more years the 2:20 list will
have taken its place, as 2:30 trotters formerly overshadowed
2:40 horses.

In breeding horses we have to wait so long for results that
we must, to a large degree, anticipate the future; so in se-
lecting the strains to invest in or patronize, we must largely
judge the future by the past. With a 2:20 standard staring
us in the face as the coming standard of excellence, wisdom
prompts that we should use those strains that show up best
when judged by the severest standard. So weighed. George
Wilkes and Electioneer have "doubled distanced" all other
sires, and it is no more than a reasonable inference to sup-
pose that Hambletonian will live on through these two chan-
nels as Messenger lives on through Hambletonian and Mam-
brino Chief.

I have seen Electioneer and some of his produce, all of
which would foreshadow his greatness in tbe absence of tech-
nical records, owing to their great uniformity iu form, color,
temper, gait and natural speed. I am told by judges of
tested excellence that Anteeo is all that could be desired, and
I hear favorably of other sons of Electioneer — certainly
enough to prove that this line will breed on equal to expecta-
tiona. That George Wilkes will breed on is now a demon-
strated fact, as attested by his numerous producing sons and
daughters. But speed alone will not be the only quality
looked for in the next era of breeding, when $100,000 tor a
horse and $1,000 to $2,000 service fee shall rule as standard
prices. Great intelligence, high finish amounting to positive
beauty, and absolute parity of gait and freedom from neces-
sity of artificial appliances will be demanded— nothing short
of perfection, in fact, as now judged. These additional re-
quirements will tend to weed out the chaff from the grain in
both families, aud it becomes of monied interest to breeders
to now apply these rules of the future to their selections.

I have of late taken every oxiportunity that offered to ex-
amine specimens of the George Wilkes family, with varying
results. I was agreeably surprised in one, Ked Wilkes, hav-
ing heard that he was large and coarse. I found him large,
'tis true, but instead of being coarse he proved to be grandly
proportioned and in every sense as noble-looking a sire as
he is successful, and the records place him ahead of all other
sons of "tbe poney sire.'' I had heard much of Wilton, and
was prepared te find him as much overrated as I had found
Bed Wilkes to be underrated. To my surprise I found Wil-
ton to be the most truly formed, highest finished, most
beautiful and perfect horse that it was ever my fortune to be-
hold. If he was two inches;taller, I should unhesitateingly
pronounce him absolute perfection, and when I came to ex-
amine his produce I atonce reached the conclusion that here
was the horse of the future in the Wilkes line. Every foal
looked more like the highest type of thorooghbred rather
than trotter, and they all looked alike and just like their
sire, and I could not but say to myself that, had I the
wealth of some of our breeders who aim to have only the
best, regardless of price, not even $100,000 would stop me
in purchasing this horse if he was for sale. I have no doubt
but Red Wilkes will first reach the $1,000 fee limit, but I
have no hesitation in predicting that, eventually, Wilton
will wear his great sire's imperial mantle.

Working at Night-

It has just leaked out that Proctor Knott is not taking all
his work by daylight, says the Republic. A well-known
trainer here whose veracity haB never been questioned spent
the greater part of one of the nights and a portion of the
early morning in the city, and as a consequence did not ar-
rive at the traok until about 2:30 a. m. As he drove toward .
his stable he says he was astonished t > hear several horses—
he could not see them — thundering down the stretch at a
killing pace. He is not a man who is in the habit of let-
ting anything good get away from him, so he naturally
reined up and began to take observations. But the flyero
were pulled up at the next furlong, the blanket put on them
and taken immediately to Bryant's stable. One of them had
Proctor Knott's white nose and legs, aud the other— there
were but two of them — was the Futurity winner's inseparable
companion, Come to Taw. What the time was, or the dis-
tance covered, nobody knows except Bryant, and he failed
to mention it to the silent witness. This secret plan of work
is quite characteristic of Bryant. He hates a tout worse than
he does a rattlesnake, and is constantly on the alert to out-
wit him. From the above it would seem that he is working
Knolt in earnest only in the small honrs of the morning, and
that the latter's day work— his mile in 1:49, for instance — is
nothing but an "exercise gallop" to throw the touts off the
scent* Since the above discovery, however, there have been
nightly vigils kept at Churchill Downs, beginning at mid-
night and ending with daylight, and the next time Bryant
and Proctor Knott do any of their will-o'-the wisp business
there will be more than one watch in the recording business.

All Were Fond of Horses.

"Ike" Stephenson, the congressman from the Marinette,
Wis., district, is a great lover of fine horses, although there
is nothing in his looks to indicate it. He is a lumberman,
and when not in Washington, spends a large portion of his
time in personally attending to his big saw mills on the
Menominee river. He rinds time, however, to cultivate his
taste for blooded horses, and in addition to breeding them
he sends several out on the trotting circuit eaoh year. He
never brings a horse to. Washington, but goes from the capital
to his hotel on a bobtail car. He looks as if he did not have
sufficient money to buy a good horse, but the fact is that
his wealth reaches the neighborhood of a million.

A day or two ago, says the New York Tribune, Mr. Steph-
enson strolled over to the senate and got to talking horse
with Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan, who has a tine stock
farm. The senator told the representative about some fine
young colts he had, and Stephenson, getting interested, at
once purchased two of them. One was a fonr-year-old, for
which he paid $3,500, and the other, a three-year-old, <?as
given to him for $1,600. He told Mr. Stockbridge he wonld
pay him $1,000 down and send to Wisconsin for the balance.
The same day he sent his check for $1,000 over to the
senate, and as Senator Stanford, who sits next to him, came
along.

"Well, Stanford," said the Miohigan stock-raiser, "I have
made a better horse bargain to-day than you have. J have
just Bold two you Dg colts for $5,100. I got $3,500 for one
that is only four years old," and he rolled the $1,000 check
about in his fingers triumphantly.

"Oh, I can beat yon, said the California stock-raiser. "I
have just sold a three-year-old for more than that, and he
shook a check for $12,000 under the nose of the Michigan
man. Mr. Stockbridge admitted that he was beaten, but
says be will never let Mr. Stanford forget that he purchased
Bell Boy from him for $10,000, kept him in Michigan a few
months and sold him for $35,000.

News From Sheepshead Bay.

It has been a very busy week at the different Island tracks,
both for trainers and owners. It is but a month before rac-
ing in this vicinity commences in earnest, and nearly every
trainer has at least a couple of horses that he is going to try
for the earlier events with. Most of the horses have pro-
gressed greatly, and from now on they will have the question
asked them that is of such vital importance to owners and
trainers alike. At the Gravesend track this morning there
were as many as sixty horses out at one time, some walking,
some cantering, some galloping and occasionally some extend-
ing themselves for a half or three-quarters.

The Sporting World says: As is very natural, the Dwyer
horses are attracting more attention than all the others put
together. There are so many of them, they cost so much,
their breeding is so gocd, and they are related to such good
performers that much is expected of them, both by their
owners and the general public. At the head of the Dwyers'
string is Hanover. There is a strong track rumor out that
he will not be started for the Brooklyn Handicap, but will be
saved for the Suburban. Whether there is any truth in it
or not it is hard to say, but from the looks of him it would
appear as though the son of Hindoo would be sent for the
Brooklyn. He is quite far advanced, and already has done
Borne fairly fast work, having gone three-quarters this morn-
ing in 1 ;23| . Of course it was merely a pipe opener for him,
but he was fighting for his nead all the way, and was as full
of run as he could be. He has bad most of his superfluous
flesh worked off, and there will be no trouble whatever about
bringing him to the post; that is, provided his legs stand. It
is hardly probable that, unless he were intended for the
Brooklyn, he would have been given as fast work as he has
this early in the season. In trotting or walking he steps
rather queer! y, something like a horse not quite sure of his
footing; but once he Is warmed up he steps out freely and
fearlessly, something like the Hanover of old.

Sir Dixon is looking great, though not nearly bo far ad-
vanced as Hanover; but then he will not be wanted so early
in the season. Belle B., Kingston, and all the other older
horses, were out, aod with the exception of Kingston, they
did good, Btrong work. If what we hear on the track is
true, then the Dwyers are in hard luck indeed. Of course
nothing definitely has been known about their two-year-olds
all the winter, not even by themselves, and everything has
been by breeding and looks. But lately they have been
given spins of a quarter and a half and tbe only one that has
shown any indications of being first class is Houston, the
bay colt by Hindoo, out of Bourbon Belle, and he has shown
up well indeed. Of course this is only a track rumor, and
too much credence should not be placed in it. It hardly
seems possible that it can be true, for some of the youngsters
have written race horse all over them, and pi rbaps in another
couple of weeks something definite can be told of them, as
by tnat time they will have been tried more than once.

Jimmy Brown is not hurrying the McMahon horses at all,
but at the same time he is keeping them moving right along.
He had out a couple of two-year-olds this morning, a sister
to Cyclops and a brother to Tecumseh, and after warming
them up a bit he sent them a half in about 0.53. The
Tecumseh colt was in the lead all the way and moved very
strong. He is rather a large brown, qnite good looking, but
just a little too narrow. He will fill out, though, and will
then be a grand loooking colt. The sister to Cyclops is a
chestnut, well built, and she looks as though she had Bpeed.
Eolian and Cyclops are both looking first class, but it is said
that neither of them has as yet done anything besides strong
galloping.

Jimmy Dumas with the Castle Stable's horses is always on
hand, and if they do not do something when the season
opens it will not be Dumas' fault. At present they are look-
ing first clase and some of tbem have done good work. Dia-
blo is doing nicely, and it is said that the other day he
worked a half in 51£. The two-year-olds are all doing nicely
and nearly all of them have worked quarters in 25, and three
furlongs in 40. The Iroquio -Explosion filly, half sister to
Dewdrop, is said to be the best one that Dumas bas, and
from all acconnls she is a good one. Hemet, that was bought
out of the last trotting sale, bas shown up well in his work,
and it begins to look as though he would turn out a good in-
vestment.

Ed Wall has Ihe McDonald lot, and tbey are lookiDg well.
Long Knigbt has reeled off quarters in 0:24 J and halves in
0:53, and is looking as well us he ever did in his life, and if
nothing goes wrong with him he will be quite a dangerous
horse in the early spring events. John Norris, Bob Farey,
Oorinth and The Belle are all doing well, and have been giv-
en good strong galloping.

Andrew Thompson has Locust in good shape just now,
and will probablv take him to Washington.

Alaric, Gipsy Queen and Cambyses, of the Excelsior lot,

are looking good and are doing good, strong work. Billy
Hueston has them out every morning, and he has sent them
for a quarter or a half, but only in ordinary time.

Superintendent Brush has qnite a force at w irk now
straightening up the grounds, and they are beginning to
look in shape once more. The track is very faBt, but it is
quite hard, although in a day or two Mr. Brash will have it
softened up again.

Over at Sheepsbead Bay track things are just as lively as
they can be. Superintendent Clark has a number of men
sodding the lawn in front of the grand stand and cleaning up
generally. Fart of tbe boarding in front of the grand stand
has been removed, all the chairs have been treated to a new
coat of paint, and the whole place will receive a general
brightening up. Superintendent Clark bas the traok in first-
class shape, as is evidenced by the time that is being made
every day.

Matt Allen was standing outside his stable this morning
when I called. He says that all his horses are doing well,
"and," he said, "if you want to see halves in 51£ and 51 sec-
onds, come over any morning and we will show them to
yon." Allen's horses, he says, are all doing well. "Every
one is talking about The Bard, Hanover, Firenzi and the rest
of the cracks," he said; "is it not just possible that there may
not be one or two fresh aspirants for honors this year that
will make them all lower their colors?" Allen did not say
that he had any such in his string, but at the same time it
will pay a person to regard the Hearst entries with respect,
as he is known to have some good older horses, and his
youngsters are the best looking lot in this vicinity.

Numerous reports have been circulated that Hamilton, the
jockey for the stable, and Allen had had some words and that
the former would not ride for Senator Hearst this year. This
Allen denies. In speaking about it he said: "There have
been no words or anything else between Hamilton and my-
self. He preferred riding in races at Clifton to exercising
horses here, and he is doing it. As for saying that Senator
Hearst is disgusted with Hamilton, that is nonsense, as he
has not seen him since last fall."

Jimtry Shield has his lot looking first-class, and in another
week or ten days some or them will probably be seen at Clif-
ton. Those that will race there are probably Gipsy, Long
Branch and Drake, but all of them will need a little more
preparation, and then it will most probably take a race or two
to wind tbem up.

Tom Callahan was not at the track yesterday, but his
horses were out at work just tbe same. Monsoon is very
much improved, and is sufficiently far advanced to have
shown three-quarters in 1 :23. Kbaften has also worked along
very well, as have also the two-year-olds.

John Croker pays the track here a visit often. He always
brings his Frince Charlie colts with him, and the other morn-
ing they worked a half in 0:52, pulling up very strong.

Frank Taylor leaves Thursday for Washington. He will
take his whole string with him.

Chat With Mr. David Bomier.

The 'New York Herald has had another interview with Mr,
David Bonner, as follows:

"It is not now, nor has it ever been my purpose to 'bear'
the trotting horse market," said Mr. David Bonner a day or
two ago. *

'•When I spoke to you about the sale of a two-year-old colt
for $26 000 as being a sum, in my opinion, beyond that of
profitable investment, it was my idea to be of service to the
breeders and owners of such animals, while I believe that
many of these gentlemen have upheld me in the very inter-
esting views which they have given the Herald over their
signatures regarding the trotter and the trotting market, a
few, apparently, have construed my passing criticism as being
a direct assault.

''lam not a 'bear' in the trotting horse marker, I repeat,
and those interested in the production of the trotter have
always found me friendly toward them. Let me see. For
many years I have owned at a time from fifteen to thirty
horses. The love of the horse was born in me. I am glad
of it.

"The trotter is an American production. That fact cannot
esoapejme. I was the first man to suggest to Mr. William M.
Rysdyk that he ought to increase the amount of Hamble-
tonian's fee to $100. I believed the horse was worth it, and
tried to make Mr. Rysdyk think as I did regarding the value
of the horse as a trotting sire. It was difficult work, but I
succeeded at last, and finally wrote the advertisement
fixing the increased fee as named. In this self-imposed task
I had Borne assistance from the brother-in-law of the old
gentlemen, who was a hard headed business man, but didn't
know much about horses. After it was all settled Mr.
Bysdyk was still afraid that tbe amount was too much, and
really awaited the result with fear and trembling. It proved
a great success. It is part of the trotting history of the
oountry. And Mr. Rysdyk was bo pleased he came to me
in good time and said that so long as the station lived I
should have his services for two mares a year for nothing.
That was intended as a great compliment and I accepted it
as such. Remember I was young in those days, and Mr.
Rysdyk about fifty-five years old.

HATED DECEPTION "LIKE PIZEN."

"Mr. Rysdyk was a plain countryman. Some horsemen
in those old days used to say he was not hospitable and was
olose and sordid. They would complain that after dealing
with him, having traveled many miles, he wouldn't even ask
them into the house to take a cnp of tea. That wasn't
exaotly bo. He didn't like all the horeemeu that called at
his place, but all found that, notwithstanding the absence of
'society polish' about him, be was straight as a string, honest
as the Bnn, and hated deception 'like pizen.' Hie grand-
father was a Presbyterian minister from Holland, and lived
as he preached, while his father was a farmer, plain, hard
working, a good friend and an upright oitizen. This was
the kind of stock that Hambletonian's owner sprang from,
and no wonder he didn't like some of the people he met.

HOW MR. BONNER KNEW OF HAMBLETONIAN.

"Now let me tell you how I first heard of Hambletonian.
George Hopkins, who stills lives and looks vigorous, kept a
stable in Ureenpomt, L. I. I went there to drive Lady
Woodruff out to the Fashion course. There was a trot that
day. While tbe Lady was being harnessed I picked up a
sporting weekly and my eye caught an advertisement that
was headed this way: -'To the Lovers of Fine Trotting
Stock.' I read further, and it went to Bay that Hambletonian
by Abdallab, dam a Charles Kent mare, by imported Bell-
fonnder, wonld serve a limited number of mares during the
soason at $25 eaoh and $35 to insure. I had a young mare
then I wanted to breed from, and this Abdallah blood inter-
ested me. So something like this occurred:

" 'Mr. Hopkins, how would it do to breed my young mare
to Hambletonian, advertised here?'

'"Very well, I think.'

" 'Do yon know anything of the stallion?'

" 'Ob, yes. I have known him since he was three years
[ old. I remember when he was shown at that age at the old
; Hamilton Park (round ahout that part of Third avenue where
tbe American Institute BuildiDg is to-day) and Hiked him.'

"So the Abdallah strain of blood decided me, and why? I
lived on Amity street, this city, when a yonth, and all the
trotters of those days were stabled in Mercer street, near by.
I was frequently in the stables and liked to listen to the
owners and drivers as they talked of pedigrees and perform-
ances— what old ones bad done and their expectations re-
garding youngsters. There I had heard Horace Jones, an
old time driver, and others speak of the Abdallah blood, the
great speed and endurance with which was credited and of
horses of the Abdallah Btamp they knew on Long Island. I
never forgot it, and that's why I decided to breed my young
mare to Hambletonian.

GOING TO THE FARM IN CHESTER.

"The Saturday morning following my conversation with
Mr. Hopkins, a young friend and myself boarded a Newburg
barge with the mare, on our way to Chester, N. Y., the home
of Hambletonian. We reaohed Newburg that evening and
remained a night at the Orange Hotel. The next morning
we obtained a team and started on our journey at about
twenty miles. I drove all the way and my friend led the
mare behind the wagon. We reached the farm safely, though
very tired. That was my first introduction to Mr. Rysdyk,
the owner of Hambletonian. We were friends from that
day, and our friendship grew stronger. That's why I told
yon when hiB name was first mentioned that I knew him
well. I was at his home when Robert Fillingham (afterward
George Wilkes) was to trot Ethan Allen, the considered great
stallion of that time, at the Fashion track, and intended to
see the race with the old gentleman, but I ate somethine the
day before that made me sick and I couldn't leave the house.
But the old man came down alone and saw a son of his borse
beat the great Ethan Allen, and he was happy.

THE MATTER OF INVESTMENT.

'There, now, that is a little of my 'trotting* hiBtory. I
have loved horses from my boyhood and owned them; have
known a majority of the prominent breeders of the country
since a youth, and they have known me, and in all these
years, I have tried in my humble way to increase the value
and popularity of the trotting horse of America.

"So, under the circumstances, I must be a friend of the
borse and not at all inclined to be 'bearish, ' or to break down
tbe trotting market. But I must still insist that $26,000 for
an undeveloped two-year-old colt, by whatever sire or from
whatever dam, is too much money — as an investment."

The Sulky for Thoroughbreds.

Some trainers of thoroughbreds got together at the Lexing-
ton traok the other day, and while they were discussing
various matters a trotting-horse trainer came along and asked
why it would not be better in a majority of instances for
thoroughbreds to take the most of their work in harness
hitched to a sulky. The argument in favor of the idea
advanced by him, Bays the Breeder's Gazette, was that under
the harness system the weight would be taken from the ani-
mAl's back and placed where he could draw instead of carry-
ing it, whieh is certainly a point worth considering Another
thing In favor of the new idea was that the man in the Bulky
could more easily manage a horse than could a light boy on
its back. The idea is not at all a new one, for as much as
ten years ago an eccentric old man named Burnham, who has
made a good deal of monev running a cheese factory down in
the central part of New York State, became impressed with
the idea that be would like to own a stable of race-borses,
and accordingly he appeared without heralding and entirely
unknown to the rest of the people present at one of tbe Bell
Meade sales of yearlings and bid so determinedly on the
stock offered for sale, his fancy being for tbe get of Bonnie
Scotland, that when the day was over he had invested some-
thing like $25,000 in the game. The string thus secured was
added to by other purchases, and for three or four seasons the
Burnham stable was one of the most formidable in the East.
One of Burnham 's ideas, and a veiy sensible one at that, was
that thoroughbreds should be broken to harness just as were
horses intended only for driving purpose?, and he proceeded
to carry out the plan, one result being that after his nags
had gone through a hard campaign tbey were used on the
road in the winter, it beine no uncommon sight to see old
man Burnham jogging through the little village where he
lived behind some famous racer of tbe previous summer.
Poor old Burnham! Like many another man who went into
racing for glory, he came out at the small end of tbe horn
6nancially, and after 6guring conspicuously on all the prom-
inent Eastern tracks be finally lost his money and prestige,
descended to racing at Brighton Beach and the small New
Jersey tracks, and for the last year or so has been out of
sight completely so far as raoing is concerned. "Lucky"
Baldwin, of California, is another man who believes that
thoroughbreds should be broken to harness, and all tbe
famous animals in the Santa Anita string a n be driven on
the road, Yolante being especially good in that capacity. A
year &go last summer, when a Chicago sport bought from
Baldwin the race mare Bobita, she beiDg considered of no
account, the California millionaire sarcastically remarked
that the purohaser had secured a good buggj' horse any-
how, but was considerably chagrined a few days later when
the cast-off won a rich stake, defeating some of the Baldwin
cracks. An ex-trotting horse trainer named Driscoll
brought lots of chaffing on himself a few years
ago when he trained the running mare Woodflower to a
sulky on the Brooklyn Boulevard, but after she had been
thoroughly prepared in thiB manner he sliped down to Brigh-
ton Beach one fine day and beat a lot of horses that were
supposed to be able to distance Woodflower. Tbe trouble
with the majority of men who train runners is that they
are not able to break away from traditional methods in tbe
management of borses, and pursue the same system now
that was in vogue lifty years apo; and this is why men who
have graduated from the trotting to the running turf are bo
uniformly successful, tbeir methods being common sense
ones. That taking the weight from tbe back of a two or
three-year old and putting it behind the animal is a good
plan to follow when the ohjeet of the training is simply to
get rid of the supurfluons flesh and replace it with mnsole
there can be no doubt, and it may be that in the near future
this system will be generally followed. Tbe running-horse
men are learning new things every season. It is not so long
ago that they would almost raise a riot if the track on which
they were to train and run their horses was not harrowed up
bo that the footing was absolutely beavy, their oonte
being that a hard track would break a horse down, bnf
a while they learned that it was the heavy going that
mischief, and that the bard tracks were by far the saf'

Profit of High. Breeding.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:- Week before last I Bent
yon a letter on the subject of breeding farms, the benefit and
profit derived therefrom, and the surpassing advantages
possessed in this State for the pnrpose. I am now enabled,
through the courtesy of Mr. L. W. Burriss, Secretary of the
Sonoma Breeding Association, to present an example in the
case of Anteeo. This noted stallion was bought of his owner
and breeder, Joseph Cairn Simpson, by the Association in
the early part of 1884, and brought to the grounds of the
association in Santa Bosa, where he was kept until his sale,
some weeks ago, to parties in Kentucky. Mr. Simpson sold
Anteeo for $10,000— at that time four years old— and before
he had made his record of 2:16i, the association sold him for
$25,000. Here is the reward of his keeping and earnings
while in their possession— in the stud: For the year 1884,
$4,100; 1885, $4,050; 1886, $4,750; 1887, $3,900; 1888,
$8|800-a total of $25,600. Besides this, his track perform-
ances—although he was entered in races only a very few
times— netted, dean earnings, every expense deduoted,
$532.50, making the full total of earnings $26,132.50. The
cost of his keeping and handling for the whole time, from
1884 to 1889, was $12,222 83; giving a clean net profit of
$13 909.67. The difference between the price paid for him,
$10 000, and that at which the association Bold him, $25,000,
is readily computed, and iB added to his earnings in the stud
and upon the track.

This makes a very handsome showing for the live years in
which the association were the owners of the horse. But
the benefits of Anteeo's keeping during these five years are
also to be considered. His racing record is further proof of
the excellence and value of his great sire, Electioneer, and of
his high bred dam. His colts are the demonstration of his
own worth, the testimony of the high opinion held of him
by turfmen and breeders, and they are to be found in many
parts of the Statd, which evidences the cultivation of the
better sentiment among all that in horses, the same as in
every valuable species, the improvement in blood and qual-
ity is the prime and commanding consideration. ThiB im-
provement naturally and visibly carries with it in every com-
munity its legitimate consequence and gratifying result. It
impresses upon the farmer equally as it does the ordinary
turfman the advantage and profit there is in raising stock of
superior quality. As Senator Stanford has pithily expressed
it, it costB no more to rear a good colt than it does to rear a
poor colt; the difference is in the breeding. The poor bred
colt can never become of great value. As a yearling he may
stand his owner $50, at his ripe age he cannot sell for above
a few hundreds at the very least. The high-bred oolt has
oost his owner, say $100 to breed him. As a yearling he is
valued at $1,000, and on his record before maturing he may
bring from $5,000 to $50,000, or even beyond that. The
simple proposition before the farmer is, whether he shall
breed a colt which he must be aware can never bring him
more than a few hundreds, or the colt that will perhaps make
him rich within a very few years? It is simply in the cost
of breeding that the whole question rests. It is the same as
buying a marsh which can never be reclaimed or become
valuable, because it can be bought for a trifle per acre, or
selecting for investment the land which is destined to become
very valuable, and is likely to enrich its owner, even though
the price first paid Bhall be three or four times that paid for
the marsh.

But the improvement in breeding horses does still more.
The bringing of Anteeo into Sonoma county stirred many
others to the spirit of competition and betterment of their
horses. Example comes from the top — in dress, in style, in
everything the spirit of emulation is roused. The thrifty
farmer is determined that his neighbor shall not excel him
in his horses, as the prideful dame is resolved that the ladies
of her set shall not outdress her; and he takes good care to
procure good mares, and breeds them to the best blood he
oan command. The example beoomes contagious, and all
follow in it to the extent of their means. Blood will tell.
8ince the marvel of Robert Bonner's $20,000 for Dexter-
then the highest price ever paid for a horse in America —
there have been sales to eclipse that, and a score of instances
can be cited away up into the forties and fifties of thousands.
Within the year an offer of $15,500 has been refused for a
great California favorite.

To better encourage this higher breeding, the demand is
every year increasing. The posBeBsors of millions and large
wealth are constantly and rapidly increasing in every part of
the country. They all want the finest and fleetest horses
that money can bny. California millionaires— Stanford, Hag-
gin, Baldwin, Robs, Hearst, Corbitt, Hayward and others-
own the grandest breeding farms in the whole country. The
wealthy patrons and devotees of the tnrf do Dot stand upon
thousands as to price if they want the horse. The sales of
California horses in the East during the last two or three
years are proofs that California bred horses are in demand.
The colt is perhaps already foaled in this atate which at two
years will be king of the olass, the monarch of the Derby at
three, or the world-beater in aged contests. The intelligent
farmer who has the Bagacity to invest for such breeding may
in these few years receive for his champion colt a sum that
will lift him at once into a fortune. And it is a grand thing
to be knows as the breeder of the breaker of tbe records of
Maud S.— which a California bred horBe will yet accomplish.
Since the coming of Anteeo several other noted sires have
been brought into Sonoma, and around number of high-bred
mares. Anteeo is particularly mentioned on account of his
proi .inence and the high repntatiou of his colts. They are

appreciating in value, now that the sire is gone. An Anteeo
colt or filly is a poossession muoh envied, and held at ad-
vanced figures. Capt. Bug. E. Grosse declined an offer of se-
veral thousands for hiB Sunset, four-j ear-old. De Turk the
noted wine maker, has two fine Anteeos. James McLaugh-
lin, and hie brother John, old Tennessee stock breeders and
prosperous farmers of Mark West, are happy owners of
Anteeo's sods. Robert Crane, ex-Supervisor, a solid farmer,
the breeder of the paoer Washington, haB an Anteeo colt,
foaled early in February, which shows great promise for the
turf with extraordiuary power and good points to found the
prophecy. Ludwig the irrepressible builder and tireless pro-
moter, Mat. Honey, Underhill, and others of local promin-
ence, are in the list. Anteeo 3tock is on deck; sIbo is Daley.
The colts show excellence of blood. Sonoma county is press-
ing to the fore. J. O'M.
Santa Rosa, April 21st.

The Winters' Stable.

Mr. Winters will send his stable of Beven horses to St.
Louis next week, on the Southern Pacific, in charge of W.
McCormiok. The following horses will comprise the string:
The Czar, Don Jose, Joe Courtney and Barkham, each three
years old and El Rio Rey, Raaoal and Barrett, two-year-olds.
They are most of them heavily entered at the St. Louie
Spring Meeting.

The Czar is entered in the Derby one mile and a half; the
Chas. Green Stakes, one mile and a quarter; and the Chicago
Horseman's Challenge Foal Stakes, one and a quarter miles.

Don Jose is entered in the Derby, Chas. Green Stakes, and
the Director's Stakes, one and a quarter miles.

Joe Courtney is engaged in the Director's Stakes.

Barham in the Bankers and Brokers Stake, nine furlongs.

El Rio Rey and Rascal are included in the Tnrf Exchange
Stake, six furlongs, and the St. Louis Brewers Stake, Bix
furlongs. - , , a mi-

Barrett is in the Real Estate Stakes, six furlongs, and The
Turf Exohange Stakes.

El Rio Rey, the pride of the stables is full brother fo the
Emperor of Norfolk, The Czar, etc. .

Rascal by Joe Hooker, dam Mattie Glen is a good looking
chestnut colt and judging from his shape and action should
race first rate.

Barrett, by Joe Hooker, dam Countess Zeika, is a good
looking bay colt, brother to Don Jobs, with a back like a
wagon horse and low stealing action that is as near perfection
as possible, and with a little more work, will make his stable
companions put their best leg first toakeep up with him.

Barham, three-year-old, is a fine looking bay by Norfolk,
out of siBter to Lottery and like the rest is a bit big, but
taken all round the stable has the best looking lot of young
race horses that have ever left the State.

The Fresno Meeting.

The opening day of the Fresno Racing Association was all
that could be desired. The directors had done everything
possible to ensure a Buccessful meeting, but the character of
the sport presented warraoted a much larger attendance than
was present on the opening day. The ball was started roll-
ing with a contest for the 2:32 class, there being five starters.
Belle B., after the showing Bhe made at Los Angeles, was
installed a hot favorite, with Charlie D. for second ohoice,
Maud Medium, Addie E. and Bedford in the field. The first
heat was won easily by Charlie D., Bedford seccnd, and
Belle B. third. Maud Medium was not at herself, and was
distanced. Time, 2:34.

The second heat ended somewhat differently, Belle B. win-
ning nicely in 2;28, with Charlie D. in second place, Bedford
being third. There were many very nasty tales floating
around about a job that had been put np, and the judges
were notified what the general impression was. In the third
heat the drivers were closely watched, and Burke, the man
in the sulky behind Belle B. was seen to throw the mare off
her feet. Charlie D. won the heat in 2:34, Belle B. second>
Bedford third. At the conclusion of the heat there was con-
siderable hubbub, which after a few minutes was quieted
down in consideration of the action taken by the judges.
The following account of what happened is taken from the
Fresno Republican:

The judges ordered Johnny White, marshal of the track, to
take charge of Belle B., and the officer started for the stables
to prevent the mare being "doped." Instead of going by the
usual road to the stables the mare was taken around the club
house, and when Officer White rode np to the men having
her in charge and demanded that they surrender her, one of
the men struck at him with a bucket he wa3 carrying, and
the other prepared to show tight. White pulled his delicate
44-caliber"Colt and requested, in accents mild, that the horse
be given in hiB oharge. The men surrendered her without a
murmur, one glance into the muzzle of the persuader being
enongh. Doc Burse, the driver of Belle B., was taken out
of the sulky and the judRes put up H. H. HclmaD of Visalia,
who drove her the balance of the race.

The fourth heat was takeD by Belle B. in 2:28, with Bed-
ford, Addie E. and Charlie D. in the order named, and the
fifth' and last heat and race waB won by Belle B. in 2:23, with
Charlie D., Bedford and Addie E. as named.

The second and last race of the day was for runners, half
mile and repeat, there being entered Gladstone, Bogus, Tom
Daly, Spring Water, Butcher Boy, Lady Anna and Thad
Stevens. As a natural consequence Gladstone was a strong
favorite, he selling against the field. The starting was not
of a high order, the starter not being able to get the fractious
beasts in line. When the flag did finally fall, Bogus had a
lot the beet of it and he was never headed from start to
finish, showing up in something like his old form, and making
the distance in 4SJ seconds. After this heat betting was very
lively, with Gladstone Btill first choice. That his backers
were sound in their judgment is evinced in the fact that he
won the next two heats handily in 49 and 50.

The second «day was a decided improvement as far as the
attendance was concerned, but still not what it should have
been. The opening event was a running race of a mile and
a quarter, there being the following entries: Edwin F., El-
wood, Rosa Lewis, Sir Charles, Manzanita, Dave Douglas
and Jack Brady. That old Btand by of DanDennison's, Dave
Douglas, was the pronounced first choice among the betting
community, while Jack Brady had a number of supporters.
The reputation of the handler of Brady had preceded him
here and consequently he was watched very carefully. As
in the day preceding, the horses got a frightfully bad start,
Douglas being left at the poBt. Brady won the race with
ridiculous ease being the only thing in it. When the riders
returned to dismount, the judges ordered the marshal to
take charge of Jack Brady and also his rider Joe Navais.
When the lad went to weigh in it was found that he only
scaled 107 pounds, although on weighing out he turned the
beam at 121, which the horse was supposed to carry: A lead
pad which made up the difference was missing, and it was
seen that it had never been put on the horse, so he had run
at short weight. The judges promptly declared Manzanita
the winner, and declared Jack Brady disqualified. Before
the judges left the Btand for the day, they ruled off Stover
and the horse. The keenness of the authorities in discover-
ing the fraud was duly appreciated by those present and the
sentiment ' freely expressed, that such contemptible scoun-
drels should never be allowed on a race track. The second
race was a dash of a mile and an eighth for a $250 purse, the
entries being Louis, Hot Spur and G. W. Notwithstanding
the splendid work done in Los Angeles by G. W., Lonis P.
was the strong tip, and he was made favorite over the two
owned by Dan Denmson. As in the lower country G. W.
won hands down, his stable companion being second, time
1:58. A trot for the 2:40 class was next in order, with Charles
F., Bracelet and White ABh as entries. Bracelet was the
favorite in the pool box, but he was a sad disappointment to
his friends, as he oannot trot a little bit, being a natural
pacer. Charles F. won the initial heat in an easy manner
in 2:33, White Ash second.

White Ash was fortunate enough to capture the second
heat in 2:35, while Charles F. proved fast enongh to take the
third. At this juncture a new driver was put up behind
Bracelet, but with no better effect, as the horse was distanced
in this heat, White Ash winning in 2:40. White Ash took
the fifth heat and race in 2 38. After the day's sport was
over the directors reinstated the horse Jack Brady, it having
been shown to their satisfaction that Stover had no claim to
the horse, but that he was owned by Messrs. Davis and Haz-
litt, of San Francisco.

Although the third day opened up Dice and pleasant, when
it came time to go to the track the roads were very dusty, and
as the wind blew quite strongly the going was anything but
pleasant. The three-quarter mile heat race was considered
a cinch by the talent, who flocked to get in their money on
Jack Brady, Oro (the ladies' favorite) a good second choice.
In addition to theBe there were Cy Mulkey's Tom Daly, Dan
McCarty's Tom Daly, Edwin F. and WhiBt. Mulkey's entry
had little or no trouble in winning in 1:15 and 1.16.

A pacing race came next for the 2:30 side wheelers, the en-
tries being Little Doc, Lela S., Johnny Skelton and T. B.
Little Doo was the moBt fancied by the pool buyers, still
Johnny Skelton had many warm admirers. In the first heat
Skelton and T. B. were distanced. Lela S. only saving herself
by a neck, time 2.25. In the second heat Lela S. was not
pacer enough to Bave her distance, and was shut out in 2:30,
Little Doo taking heat and race. As an extra attraction, Mr.
Helman drove his mare Maud Medium to beat her previous
record of 2:47, and succeeded in reducing it to 2:35. A match
race was next run off between Edwin F. and Butcher Boy
for the snm of $200 a side. The latter had no trouble fn
winning the five-eighths dash in 1:04.

A good fair attendance graced the track for the first race
on the fourth day, the event being mile heats, with six
starters. It was the intention to start Oro but her rider was
so' drank that the mare ran away with him and circled the
track twice before being caught. Those who faced the flag
were Dave DouglaB, Sir Charles, Jack Brady, Cognac, Duffy
Winters and Elwood. When the Btart was effected, Dave
Douglas got to the front very quickly and was never headed,
winning in 1 :45. The second heat was a trial of speed be-
tween Jack Brady and Douglas, and they came in bo close
that the judges decided it a dead beat. Time, 1.44. Jaok
Brady was too fleet of foot for old Dave and won the third
heat in 1:44 and also the fourth, in 1:47. The second race
gave the 2:25 trotters a chance to show themselves, the en-
tries were St. David, Belle B., Ed and Charlie D. As Belle
B. had been handled so peculiarly on the first day, the
judges had out patrol men to see that no "funny work" was
done. A loDg aod tedious delay occured in the scoring, but
they finally were sent off all together. Belle B. was the first
to show in frontjand she won with consummate ease in 2:29.
Ed proved a tough nut to oraok, however, for he won the
next three heats, the lest one being negotiated in 2:26}. The
quarter mile heat race had to be p jstponed until next day on
account of darkness.

The fifth and last day, was a special one and had a very
attractive programme. The weather was fine and the at-
tendance good. The postponed race of Friday was first on
the card but is hardly worthy of comment, Cyclone beatiDg
Bogus, Butcher Boy, Grey Eagle and Billy Batton in 23^
and 23. Next followed a three-quarter mile dash between
McCarthy's Tom Daly, Manzanita, Elwood, Edwin F. and
Cognac, Manzanita proving an easy winner in 1:16. A mixed
trotting and paoing race had for starters JohnDy Skelton,
Charles F., While and T. B. This waB rather interesiing the

The Races.

OPENING DAY.

For a number of years the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Asso-
ciation has given Spring and Fall meetings, which the pnblic
have always generously supported, feeling assured that the
attractions would be of the highest order and entirely free,
as far as possible, of anything pertainiug to jobbery. That
the same feeling is stiil manifested was proven by the large
attendance on the opening day, Saturday, April 20th. There
were many who predieed that the stringent resolutions passed
by the board of directors, relative to free tiokets, would be a
stumbling block in thtir way, as in the past it seems that
directors and members have had passes given them in large
quantities for distribution. The new arrangement works
better than expected, however, as the receipts at the gate
were larger than ever before on the first day of a meeting.
The front of the house, as a theatrical man would say, was
under the control of the Harry Morse Detective Agency, who
will have entire charge during the five days racing, the
directors having decided to give an extra day on Taesday,
April 30tb.

The day was all that could be desired, and at an early bonr
in the morning the visitors from far-distant points began to
flock to the track, each eager to get a glimpse of their partic-
ular favorites, and also to pick up any information which
might be nsetul in betting. The jockeys and stable boys
were all busy during the morning discussing "traps," the
shooting of which was the cause of much cursing as the luck
varied and money changed bands. A large delegation was
DreBent from the Capital City, each with a sack to back the
chances of Whisban for the California Brakes, and Sorrento
for the Tidal stakes. Palo Alto always has its followers, and
they were out in full force Saturday; but, notwithstanding
their l.king for the blue and orange sash, hardly any of
them ventured to take the odds offered against Brutus in the
first race, but were on Racine for the second; but, much to
their sorrow, plunged on Geoffrey for the last event and lost
the former winnings. Sonoma county had a large represen-
tation, all prepared to invest on Al Farrow and Gnido, as
Mr. Tupper is a Santa Bosian and has many friends who
have great faith io his stable. A small contingent were
present from San Jose, while Stockton had a large number
of tt s dents down to see the fun and back the Shippee stable.
Among the San Francisco folks, those who revel in club life
were to a man on the entries of the Maltese Villa stable.
The weather was all that could be desired, and the verandahs
were well filled with ladies, the beautiful varigated colors of
the dresses adding a charm to the scene. The portion of
the stand which is devoted to the members of the association
showed rather slim, as the club houBe balcony was taken as
a point of vantage in preference to the portion allotted to
them. The betting ring was constantly filled with those
who desired to tempt dame fortune, and the eight pencilled
were kept constantly busy attending to the wants of their
customers. The directors had petitioned off a part of the
inner exercising track as a saddling paddock, and a police-
man stationed at the entrance there to keep out the usual
crowd that congregates when the horses are being saddled
and annoys owners and grooms by their presence. In all,
about 2,000 persons were present to enjoy the sport, there
being taken at the gate 1,544 paid tickets and three compli-
mentaries hundreds of others simply showing their member's
badge" and as there were no coupons to detach it cannot
accurately be stated exactly how many did pass in. The re-
porters are under many obligations to the management for
the presence of one of the cfficers, who stood^ at the foot of
the stairs and refused to allow any persons to occupy the
reporters' box who was not a working member of the press.
So many improvements were noticable in the surroundings
that favorable words of comment were heard on all sides.
The whitewesh which has been liberaly applied tended, in a
measure, to enliven the scene, and when coupled with the
various colors of silk in use by the jockeys, was pleasing to
the eye. The usual wheel of fortune was in full operation,
the peanut man cried his wares, and, to complete the specta-
cle the cheery voice of Sam Whitehead could be heard:
''What am I offered for first choice? " The refreshment de-
partment was under the supervision of "Hod" Hinchman, ably
assisted by J..O. Hansen, an old New York chef from Del-
monico's, who had a magnificent luncheon spread for those
who desired anything in the eatable line.

Another innovation, and one that pleased the multitude
immensely, was the numbers placed on the jockeys' arms,
so that there was no trouble in instantly telling the names of
the horses, as the ^programmes contained the names, with
the numbers distinctly marked in front of such. In speaking
of the programmes, it might be well to Bay that the Breeder
and Sportsman management has been highly complimented
by hundreds for its generosity in furnishing free programmes
for those in attendance, but the public will find hereafter
that this paper will be up with times, and anything that will
tend to the benefit of our patronB will be provided for them.
It is true the expense has been considerable, but the thought
of that has been a secondary consideration; we have been so
generously supported since the paper was first issued that it
is only fair we should do something in return of a gratuitous
nature. Almost every person present carried home the pro-
gramme as a souvenir of the day, and also to have conven-
iently at hand a record of all fast times made by running
horses at all distances.

The officers'of the day were judges M. F. Tarpey, J.C.
Wolfskill and P. A. Finnigan; timers, K. T. Carroll, 0. A.
Hickok and C. Green; starter,
clerkof course, Harry Lowden.

At twenty minutes past two the bell sounded the call to
the post and sixteen horses answered the summons. It was
a pity that this large number of entries had not been divided
and two races announced as the very large field, oaused Mr.
Meagher a great deal of trouble, and it was over an hour be-
fore the flag fell to a straggling start, the fractionsness of
Lurline causing in a degree the great delay. To add to the
annoyance, the jockeys became unruly and the starter was
forced to fine the following: Carillo, $50: Morton, S20; At-
kinson, $10; Hazlett, $10; Cook, $10; Hart, $10. When the
flag fell, Mr. Pray's entry, Duke Spencer, was the first to
show m front, closely followed by Dutch and Laura Gardner,
coming past the wire Brutus and Al Farrow were at such
speed that when the qnarter was reached Farrow was leading
with Brutus second, Wanderer 2nd third, the balance of the
field well up and all running hard. At the half the positions
remained unchanged, but it was at this juncture that Hill
was seen to move up slowly on Moses B, and at the three-
quarters was close to the leaders, a gallant race here ensued,
the turn being made in very fast time but as they turned in-
to the stretch Al Farrow was still in the lead, hard pressed
by Brutus and Moses B. and Laura Gardner, who each in
torn passed the favorite Al Farrow showing plainly that he
had had enough of it. Jockey Hill on MoBes B. tried very
hard to overtake the Palo Alto entry, but poor lame Brutus
captured the first money by half a length, Moses B. beating
Laura Gardner for second place by the same distance.

As soon ae possible after the conclusion of the first race
the judgeB called up the horses for the second event, in the
meantime backers being busy at work Bhowering in money
on their favorites. This two-year-old contest, known as the
California Stakes, has always been a great betting race, and
a deep interest, at all meetings, is manifested in the young-
sters who are going to participate in this now classic event.
By an over-sight Mr. Winters failed to nominate El Rio Bey,
the full brother to th,e Emperor of Norfolk, which has caused
great disappointment, as there are many who fancied that
the colt would have to be extended if he should be fortunate
enough to win. However there were sis good ones to face
the starter, and Palo Alto's friends had a chance to put up as
much as they pleased, for the Stockton people and the Sac-
ramento contingent could see nothing in the race but "Whis-
ban, while Guido was also well thought of by many. When
Mr. Meager got the lot off, which he did on the second
attempt, Racine went at once to the fore, Reata and Guido
being his close companions, Pliny, Whisban and King
Hooker never showing any speed at all. The positions
remained unchanged until they were well down the home-
stretch, when Guido passed Reata and made play for the
leader, but he did not have the speed to catch Racine, who
won by three lengths.

once at San Jose, and losing once, and now wins the Cali-
fornia.

The third race was of the short order, but was in heats
giving some of the old timers a chance to show their speed.

Among those who were supposed to know a good thing,
Geraldine was conceded to be a sure winner, the sale Of
pools showing the way in which Mr. Ashe's mare was fancied,
she eelliDg for $50 against $15 for the field. The race hardly
requires mention, for alttiough pushed out in both heats by
White Cloud, she did the trick so easy that there was no
chance to beat her.

The great event of the day, and in which more than especial
interest was displayed on account of there being bo many of
the prominent American Derby starters, was the Tidal stakes
which has always been a bone of contention for the three-
year-olds, and a good fat plum for the winner. The entries
wore liberal, fifty nominations having been made, the follow-
ing of which bad been

Again the backers of Palo Alto assembled in force, and
once more was the Stanford entry made favorite, the running
of Geoffrey at San Jose being considered fast enough to beat
anvthing entered in the Tidal against him. When the colt
appeared on the track he was stiff and sore, his bad fetlock
showing up with a good deal of prominence; still, those in
and around the stable contend that it does not trouble him
in preparation. The two entries of Theodore Winters looked
the pink of perfection, opinion being divided as to which
was the best, The Czar or Don Jose. A rumor early gained
currency that it was intended The Czar should win, Don Jose
to do the running up. As a consequence The Czar was
quoted in the books at only two and three to one, while Don
Jose was at "sixes. " Sorrento was a hot favorite among the
Sacramento gentlemen, but he did not show in as good form
as on many occasions last year. The reason of his great pop-
ularity for the Tidal Stakes, was a trial which he showed at
Agricultural Park, Sacramento, finishing a mile and a quar-
ter easy in 2:11. This performance was considered good
enough to warrant a strong backing, but Sorrento was a sad
disappoinment to his friends, never standing a ghost of a
show. The starter had a great deal of trouble in getting the
party off, and when the flag did fall Sorrento was in the lead,
Joe Hoge and Flood Tide being second and third, the balance
banohed with the exception of Don Jose, who was away
behind. The position did not Buit Atkinson, who at once
shot through the field, and before the wire was reached, was
in the van, now under a Btrong pull, Joe Hoge second, Flood
Tide third, The Czar coming strongly in fourth place, the
balance strung out in a procession. At the quarter The
Czar had moved up to second place, the two stable compan-
ions running easy and well in hand, Hoge, sticking to the
Winters' colors, being third. At the half the three leaders
was approached by Louis P., but he was never a dangerous
quantity, as his little spurt was not kept up for long. His
run up, however, had the effect of spurring up the balance of
the field, for they all set sail toward the leading four, and in
a verv few seconds the entire field were almost bunched, the
yellow and green sashes juet showing in front, and that was
all. As they turned into the -homestretch, Morton came up
with Geoffrey, and speedily passed Hoge, but could not quite
manage to head the leading two. The Czar, however, moved
np a peg and got his head in front of Don Jose, and in that
order they passed under the wire; Geoffrey third, Hoge
fourth, Sorrento fifth. Thus was won the second Tidal
Stakes, worth to the winner abont $2,500.

SUMMARY.
The Tidal Stakes; for three-year-olds; $100 each, with $600 added;
second to receive $200, third to save stake. One mile and a quarter.

SECOND DAY — APRIL 23d.

Officers of the day, Messrs. Thornton, Tarpey, Winters
and Finigan. Timers, Messrs. Hickok, Rose and Green.
Clerk of course, Harry Lowden.

Well, we have had another Derby run for, aDd wiped out
the fastest recorded record time. Mr. Winters has been con-
gratulated on all hands on the magnificent time made by The
Czar, and well he might be, for it is very rarely that two
three-year-olds are seen in the same stable that can come up
to Don Jose and the brother to the Emperor. Just imagine
two Proctor Knotts or two Salvators under one control, yet
that is the position Mr. Winters is in. He has two first-class
colts, and if both are started in the American Derby at Chi-
cago, provided there be good day and track, the people of San
Francisco will not have long to boast that we have the best
Derbv record on this coast. Although over a thousand per-
sons paid for admission to the track, the crowd seemed a very
small one compared with that of Saturday, whicb is very
strange when the strength of the programme, the beautiful
weather and the fast horses engaged are taken into consider-
ation.

The first event on the card was for three-year-olds and
upwards, with beaten maiden allowance, three-quarters of a
mile. There came to the poBt seven starterp, of which Ger-
aldine was considered the real good thing. The bookmakers
evidently had the same idea as the public, for when the first
business was done, 5 to 1 on was the ruling rate. Nancy had
a few supporters, and White Cloud was gently
a place. Suddenly the quotations changn, 1
then 1 to 3, and again 1 to 2. By watching tL
site the name of Emotion, the cause is disce

Winchell is to ride the Garland mare, and she is known to be
as fleet as the wind, bo the dollars flow in, in a steady Btream,
and the bookmakers every minute cut down the price on
Emotion and give correspondingly larger odds on Geraldine.
At last, however, even the money gives out, just as the horses
get to the post and all eyes are turned toward starter Meagher
to Bee it he can get the field off in good shape. Just as the
flag fell three of the horaeB collided, enabling White Cloud
and Nancy to get a commanding lead, Little Phil nest in
order, he being followed by Glen Ellen, Geraldine and Long
Shot, while Emotion was fully twenty lengthB behind the
leader at the half-mile pole. When Emotion finally caught
her stride she fairly flew over the ground, catching up and
passing the field one by one. Down the homestretoh she
came at a thundering pace, only having to pass White Cloud
to win, but although the wonderful burst of speed was main-
tained, the Pinto won by two lengths, Emotion second, with
Nancy in third place, closely followed by Geraldine. The
time made shows what a marvelous exhibition of speed Emo-
tion displayed, when it is considered how far she was behind
at the half.

The Select Stakes gives an opportunity for the large breed-
ing farms of the State to show off the very best or their two-
year-olds, the conditions being that the stable shall make a
nomination, and then be allowed to start as many or as few
as they please. The nominations for 1839 were Palo Alto
stable, Santa Anita stable, L. U. Shippee and Theo. Winters,
but at the last moment Mr. Winters declared out, leaving
only the three others to contend for the stake. Palo Alto
was represented by Racine and Pliny; Santa Anita by Ata-
lanta, while Farealara carried the colors of Mr. Shippee.
The race was very tame, as Racine is a far superior colt to
anything seen yet on the coaBt, and although Pliny took the
lead at the start, his stable companion soon passed him, and
was never headed, Farsalara finishing second, at least five
lengths behind the winner, Atalanta third.

The next race attracted the "selling platers" for a purse of
$350. Ten as likely looking horses as ever faced a flag in a
race of the kind, answered to the bell. Mozart was a strong
tip, and was the favorite in the betting at 8 to 5. Kildare got
the best of the send off, and was soon two lengths to the
good, "Welcome and Jack Brady occupying second and third
place, the balance of the field strung out. As the three
*eaderB swung into the homestretch the jockeys began plying
" the laBh, and a grand finish ensued which would beyond
doubt have ended in the success of Kildare, but bis stirrup
strap broke at the draw gate and caused Pierce to almost lose
his balance, Welcome winning by the shortest of noses from
Kildare, who was only a head in front of Jack Brady.

The event of the day, the Pacific Derby was nest on the
card, and the most intense excitement was manifested as the
different horses were brought out on the track preparatory
to saddling. There were six entries down on the Breeder
and Sportsman programme, but at the last moment Mr. "W.
L. Pritchard had his colt Louis P. declared out, leaving five
choice three-year-oldB to contend for the Grand Prix. The
"Winters' stable elected, on the previous evening, to start Joe
Courtney instead of Don Jose as a runner up for The Czar>
but the distance was not found to suit the son of Joe Hooker,
although for a mile and a quarter he performed his part of
the work well. The Norfolk-Marion colt was the favorite at
1 to 2, with Geoffrey second choice at 2 to 1. Sorrento was
heavily backed for a place, and delighted his supporters by
coming in second. Mr. McCarty had made arrangements for
Fred Carillo to ride Sorrento, but the action of the directors
on Monday night, forbidding him to ride until the Al Farrow
case was settled, compelled Dau to take Sible, who was
known twenty years or more ago as "Spanish Charley." He
rode well, and 6eemiogly has not forgot his cunDing.

With but very little trouble Mr. Meagher got the lot off,
The C^arand Courtney taking the premier positions immedi-
ately, Wild OatB, Sorrento and Geoffrey following in the order
named. At the head of (he Btretch Courtney took the lead
and .till retained the position as they came under the wire
the urBt time, The Czar being under a strong pull. Geoffrey
was -;ow third, Wild Oats fourth, and Sorrento a very bad
fifth. The same positions were maintained ontil well down
the back Btretch, when Bible began to whip Sorrento, who

rapidly moved up nnder the castigation. At the three-
quarters The Czar took the lead, and rapidly left Courtney
behind, although he was not whipped at all. Sorrento was
coming like a whirlwind, taking both whip and spur in a
manner which is peculiarly his own. He seems to enjoy
punishment, in fact, is a perfect glutton for it, but he had
not been started soon enongh, for The Czar came under the
wire, but only by a nose the winner, and it is generally con-
ceeded that if there had been two more jumps McCarty would
have landed the Btakes. The Czar did not have to exert him-
self to win, but it was a grand finish, and highly appreciated
by all who witnessed it. Wild Oats was third, ten lengths
behind the winner, Courtney and Geoffrey nowhere.

The fifth and last race of the day was a mile and an eighth
for a purse of $350. Six starters constituted a good field and
as it was simply a guessing race, the money went in liberally
on all of them. Nerva was established the favorite, with
Black Pilot a good second choice. Some little delay occurred
before the flag fell, but when once off a good race ensued,
which was finally captured by Lady Helen, Nerva and Black
Pilot a good second and third.

Earle. Timers, O. A. Hickok, L. H. Titua, Christopher
Green. Clerk of course, Harry Lowden.

Another magnificent day caused a large attendance to be
present on the third day of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse
Association meeting, and evidently the sporting money was
not all gone, as the bookmakers enjoyed a large run of patro-
nage. The wheel of fortune which has enjoyed a long run
of uninterrupted prosperity nntil Tnesday, was again at
work, but the business done was slim, as those who were at
the track would rather take the chances against the book-
makers or the pool-box than against the turn of a man's wrist.
Again the members were out in full force, and the ladies were
conspicuous by their toilets, the balcony presenting an ani-
mated Bpectacle, with the sun beaming down on the silks and
satins. The club-house Btand was well filled with the best
known men about towD, the beiting ring was again rilled with
those who wanted to tempt the fickle jade, while many of the
old timers stuck to the old fashion and bought pools, think-
ing it a better manner to invest than through the pencillers.
The first race showed a chaDge, inasmuch thnt Mr. HeDry
Welch, of Palo Alto, had the starting flag instead of Mr.
Meagher, the latter thinking that a new man might not be so
unfortunate as himself in getting Mr. Garland's horse off
with the balance. The chaDge was not beneficial, however,
as the sequel will show.

The usual trouble was experienced in getting the horaeB
off, the large field preventing a satisfactory start. During
the delay Mr. Welch fined all the jockeys except Hazlitt,
Cook and Hitchcock, the other ten having to stand a penalty
for disobedince at the post. When the flag at last went
down Duke Spencer had a shade the best of it, starting away
as though he was the only horse in the race, Nancy trying
to keep up, bat making a bad job of it. The rest were in the
Droverbial procession, waiting for Duke Spencer to quit. At
the half mile pole Bessie Shannon moved up and made a fight
for first place which she finally secured just as they turned in-
to the homestretch. At this moment two other candidates for
public honorB appeared in Welcome and Kildare, the two pass-
ing the mare in short order Wanderer second, also came with
a rush but had not speed enough to catch the leaders and had
to content himself with third place, Welcome winning by half
a leDgth from Kildare.

The second event produced as starters the Palo Alto entries
Racine and Pliny, Col. H. I. Thornton's Reata, and C. V.
Tupper's Guido. As may be naturally supposed, the now
mighty Bacine was the favorite, the ring not being willing
to do better than 1 to 10 about the big bay, while for the
others the very liberal odds of 12 to 1 Pliny, and 15 to 1 each
Guido and Beata, conld be had. Starter Meagher was again
at the post to send the yonngsters off, and he had little or
no trouble in sending them away, with Guido slightly
favored. "The Palo Alto marvel cannot stand to have any-
thing in front of him, and very Boon dispossessed the Double
Cross colt, who in the middle of the back stretch took it into
his head to bolt, and carried his rider over to the outside of
the track, the boy for a moment losing his head, it was
momentary only, as he soon had the colt under subjection,
but was now three lengths to the bad, which be immediately
preceded to make up. Pliuy and Reata was bo far ahead
that the work set for the colt was very hard. However he
gallantly did bis duty, and after turning into the home stretch

soon passed Pliny and Reata, but could not reach the favor-
ite who went under the wire the winner of the So So Stakes,
with the additional honor that hereafter the stake will be
oalled the Racine stake, he having beaten So So's time of
1.14|. Pliny was third, with Reata last.

A mile heat race was the nest attraction, and proved a
great betting raoe; Brady, Mozart, Wild Oats and Nerva
being equally supported. "When Mr. Meagher gave the party
a send off, it was with Mozart fully four lengths to the good,
with Nerva second, Fnsilade's LaBt third. Around the course
to the head of the homestretch Mozart kept his place, but
here ensued a hammer and toogB race between the leader,
Nerva and Wild Oats, the latter passing the wire first, amid
considerable applause from those who had backed the Ap-
pleby entry. As Dutchpassed under the wire, his rider lost all
control of him, and the big chestnut colt went about a mile
and a quarter before the lad could pull him up.

The second was almost a repetition of the last, with the
exception that Jack Brady led nearly all the way, with Fusi-
lade's, Last sticking to his flanks like a plaster. In the turn
Fusilade's Last threw her rider, and the mare came home
alone. Brady led into the turn, and here the same fight
took place, Narvice bringing up Wild Oats with a rush, cap-
turing the second heat and race.

Tne fourth and last race of the day was the Sequel Stakes,
for all ages, one mile and three-eighths. The six horses
named on the programme stated, the great favorite being
Emotion, from hiB run in the three-quarter dash oo Tuesday.
A rather singular thing about the race is, that the three
choices Emotion, Laura Gardner and Moses B, did not get a
place while the th>-ee horses sold in the field, came one, two,
three. Flood Tide was away first, with Gardner second and
the favorite a good third. These positions were not changed
until the homestretch was reached, when the trailers moved
up and a great whipping finish was made, Flood Tide, how-
ever, never being headed.

Kentucky Horse Gossip.

Louisville, Ky ., April 20th. — But little over a forfnight
remaiuB before the Kentucky Derby shall be run, and dis-
cussion upon the classic event is not only becoming more ac-
tive but is taking more definite shape. There were not a
few who expected to see some one of the horses in the Cali-
fornia contingent duplicate the performance of Haggin's Ben
Ali in the Derby of 1886, but there has been considerable re-
versal of opinion in this respect. Almont, who heads the
Californians in point of performances and ability, is a pretty
sick horse at present, and if he is anything like as badly off
as he is represented to be by his trainer it will take some-
thing little short of a miracle to get him ready by May 9th.
The trip across the continent -was a long, tedious and tire-
some one, and Senator Hearst's horses were pretty badly
banged about. Several of them were taken sick, and Al-
mont's condition was bo serious that he was left at Fort
Worth, Tex., to recuperate a trifle before completing his
journey. He has not been taken out of the stable since his
arrival here except for the purpose of walking him; under
blanket, around the stable path.

Other horses that are likely to cut somefiguro in the Derby,
or, at least those most likely to start, include Bryant's pair.
Proctor Knott and Come-to-Taw, Heron, Spokane, Hindoo-
craft, Long Dance, Once Again, Castaway II., the Lioness,
Castella, Moxie, Caliente, Lee Christy and Kasson. There is
a rumor here that Carter doe6 not intend- bringing the last-
named horse here, but it lacks confirmation. "Kasson is in
tine condition, and if he can go the route, his owner will
hardly forego the tempting possibilities offered in a great
race like the Derby. Proctor Knott, it is believed, will start
despite Bryant's assertions lo the contrary. But the big
gelding is. far from being in Derby condition at present,
whatever he may be two weeks hence. Shrewd horsemen
who have seen him essay the Derby route in his trials say he
does not perfoim his work as if he relished it. In fact there
are those who contend that he cannot go the distance at all.
and that a mile and a quarter is his limit. Bryant himself
says that Kcott is not yet suhciently advanced to go a mile
and a half, but of course this counts for little, as ho wouli
naturally be the last one to bull his hor^e on the market and
thus spoil the betting. Bat whatever Proctor Knott may be,
there is no doubt about his stable companion, Come-to-Taw.
He at least can go the route, and has folly demonstrated that
fact a dozen occasions. If Bryant starts both, this is the one.
he is apt to rely upon,

Grim's Gossip.

Next Monday is Al Farrow's fourth birthday.

Santa Rosa and Petalunia visitors to the races on the first
day " went broke " on Al Farrow.

Mr. JenniDgs has declared TeDnyson out of the Suburban,
bo secretary Lovecraft telegraphs me.

Palo Alto stable has beyond question a fine lot of race
horses, but is sadly in need of a first class jockey.

The second dream of the season is reported, and Insolence
is now supposed to be the coming winner of the suburban

As a candidate for the "fractions stake" Lnrline should
be a great favorite, after her last Saturday's performance.

Mr. W. H. Wilson, Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., has
sent his fast pactr, Budd Doble, 2:19J, to his name sake in
Chicago.

John Mackay says his yearlings are the best looking lot of
youngsters they have ever had, particularly the Darebins.
He will not start East just yet with them.

"Weinstock & Lubin, of Saciainento, have also contributed
$500 to the State Board of Agriculture, for the purpose of es-
tablishing spring races at the Capitol City.

At San Miguel 6tock Banch, the property of Irvin Ayres,
April 16th: Brown colt, white on off pastern behind, by
Mambrino Wlikes, dam, Contra, by Electioneer.

Carlton Coleman, Esq., has been elected a member of the
Board of Directors of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Associa-
tion, to take the place of the late David McClure.

Secretary Lovecraft, with his usual courtesy, has sent me
a ttlegram stating that Darlington has been declared out of
the Suburban and Sbeepsbead Bay Handicaps.

Kenilworth 2:18}, about which so many reports have been
circulated regarding his death while en route to South Ameri-
ca, has finally arrived at Buenos Ayres safe and sound.

It seems to be generally conceded by Eastern horsemen
that Glen Echo will be the starter for the Suburban from the
Hearst stable. If such is the case -Joe Marvice will ride him.

Dr. C. C. Mason, of Chico, who for many years has been
associated with the turf interests of Bntte County, has been
elected Grand Commander ol the Grand Commandery.Knights
Templar.

Mr. S. N. Straude, of Fresno, lately sold a colt by Clovis,
dam Mattie, by "Whipple's Hambletonian, which was only
seven days old for $1,000. Good breeding is productive of
large prices.

Ab Stemler will probably go East shortly to attend the
spring sales for Mr. Shippee, but as they only have young-
sters Tn the stable at present, they will not be sent East this
year to race.

Now that the Western trainers have become so unusually
clever that they work their horses undercover of darkness, it
is probable that the price of lanterns will move up a peg or
two in that locality.

Mike Kelly overrated the speed of Geraldine, in the first
race on Tuesday last. It is just as well to get the lead when
you can, as to lay behind thinking you can catch up at any
moment.

There will be some interesting races at lone Valley on May
1st. The principal event will be a 600-yard dash between
J. C. MorriB* Nathan Coombs, J. Dillian's Emma Coombs,
and C. F. Bunch's Wait a-bit Coombs.

I happened to tell a friend that the Czar should win the
Tidal Stake with Don Jose second. The horses came in that
■way and every day since, I have been pestered with persons
wanting tips on the various events. Such is luck.

All the Sacramento boys looked sick after the California
Stakes; American Gill, as they call Whisban, being deemed
a good'thing. Albert Cooper who has just returned from Los
Angeles said he only saved enough to pay forfeits.

Sam Bryant thinks he has the jockey of the future. His
name is Robert Lee Eichie, and only eleven years of age, and
weighs about sixty pounds. He is as black as the ace of
spades and has been riding since he was able to walk.

Some Eastern turf gossip is to the effect that George Han-
kin fancies he has the Suburban won with Terra Cotta. The
horse is rapidly getting into condition and his trainer is con-
fident that when fit he will have all his old-time speed.

Under the direction of Mr. Ariel Lathrop, sixty-two head
of young colts and fillies were sent EaBt from Palo Alto on
Saturday last. A great many of the youngsters are the get
of Electioneer. They will be sold in New York, on May 8th.

Immediately after the meeting of the Blood Horse Associa-
tion Joe Marvin will return to Sheepshead Bay to join the
Hearst stable. He has been telegraphed for by Matt Allen,
who seems to have had trouble in securing a light weight
jockey to take the place of Joe.

Mr. C.rbitt informs me that the services of Guy Wilkes
and Sable Wilkes have been in such demand that their books
have been full for the past two monthB. The gentleman also
states that a proposition was made to him to send Guy Wilkes
back to Kentucky, and parties there would guarantee him a
full complement of mares, at a service fee of $750 each.

The Lake County Examiner, of Lakeview, Oregon, comes
to us this week fairly bristling with items about Al Farrow
and his San Jose performance. In fact, it apologizes in the
following manner: "This week's paper comes very near
being an Al Farrow edition, but we think the most of our
readers will like it."

Anent the Carillo And Brown case, the following from the
New York Sporting World will not be out of place:

"That's a great horse of yours, Muddyear; he ought to
win and make you lots of money."

"What's the matter with my getting lotB of money without
his winning ?"

KDap McCarthy has left Los Angeles for Indiana, with
Geneva S, 2:191; Lena Wilkes, 2:29*; Eajah, 2:29$; Sir Ar-
chie, (pacer); Lucy R. by Sultan; Cora Van Tassel; Cousin
Joe,' (paoer), and Waldo Johnson and Pearl Jennings,
thoroughbreds. Mr. McCarthy is taking baok Pearl Jennings
for Ed Corrigau, of Chicago.

It is generally believed that Emotion will after the meeting
be seni East to join the Haggin stable at Monmouth Park,
and unless she goes wrong will surprise some of the crack
sprinters before the racing season is over.

R. P. Ashe will in all probability be represented again on
the Eastern traokB by six or seven horses. Geraldine and
Flood Tide will of course be included in the starters, and
possibly Mr. Ashe will pick up another or two outBide his
own stable at a reasonable figure.

Cy Mulkey turned up at the Bay District track last Monday,
but finding no room he went across the Bay to Oakland.
He will probably have a shy at the extra races next week
with some of his string, who are doing nice work and are
said to be very fit.

Two racing baronets in England, have started a £10,000
yeaning book, on the derby of 1891. ThiB kind of book
used to be fashionable in the old days and generally resulted
in the collapse of the layer: but it iB so long since they were
in vogue, that perhaps they may be more fortunate.

One of the reporters on a daily paper sayB, that from the ap-
pearance and time made by the Australian horse, it will not
add to the boom on horses fiom the Antipodes. Yet the Aus-
tralian horse was the raciest looking one of the lot, and- on
Wednesday morning had no trouble in going a full mile in
1:42.

Matt Storn came very near pulling off a nice coup with
Kildare on Tuesday; everyone would have teen delighted to
see Matt make a winning, as he has had a hard enough time
lately wiih his accident and Grover Cleveland, and Kildare's
breeder, J. B. Chase, is one of the pleasant men in California
to spend half an hour or so witu.

There is a rumor quietly spreading among the well in-
formed men about town that Capt. H. B. Blagrave (late of
the Fairfax stable) has the refusal of the entire W inters string
(seven horses) at $55,000. Whom the Captain iB acting for,
is not mentioned, though it is probably for one of the Califor-
nia Magnates, as Eastern racing men wculd not buy unBeen,
a large string at that figure.

A very interesting programme is issued by the Blood Horse
Association for an extra day on Tuesday next, five races will
be given, | for two-year-olds, 1| selling, J| mile for three-year-
olds, 1£ mile for four-year-oldB and upwards, and an owners
handicap of one mile. Several outside horses will he here
for the days racing which ought to be up to last weeks
standard.

Billy Appleby had $60 on White Cloud at ten to one on
Tuesday, and when asked how he dare back him, said,
"Well, if he is worth training and starting, surely he is worth
fifty or sixty. I can't afford to run horseB that are unable to
oarry money." I wonder did he back Lady Helen. Tom
Williams had a modest five each way. Hard luck for him
not to have had a plunge on it, but who could ?

Mr. L. J. Rose, of Los Angeles, has sold five sucking colts,
four of which went to Mr, Outwaite, of Sierra Madra, and
one to Dr. G. G. Green, of Philadelphia. Two of the first
were by Stamboul, and two by Alcazar, the price for the four
being $9,000. The one going East, is by Stamboul, dam
Nava by Dictator, 2nd dam Belle Brasfield 2:20£. Dr. Green
paid $5,000 for this grand colt.

The Rural Spirit sounds a note of alarm by stating that the
big brown gelding Melrose by Sultan has been sold to Mon-
tana parties and his name will be changed, casting an insin-
uation that the change will be made to deceive the public.
As John Green is at present at Butte City, it is to be hoped
that he will notify the press of any change of name, if such
is intended.

It was rather fortunate, all things considered, that Nancy
did not run last Saturday, the bookmakers all bulletined her
as carrying 112 pounds, while in reality she only had 100 up.
Mr. Holly (her owner) said he knew what weight she would
carry, aDd did not care a hang what weight the slates gave.
A little more care and consideration might be shown (by the
bookmakers) for the public.

Mr. Withers is reported as saying that the Sensation-Faver-
dale colt has been eating and doing well all winter, and is
in better condition than ever before. If he retains his health
and the speed which he showed last August and September,
this fine son of Sensation will hi.ve troops of confident baok-
ers in every race in which he takes part this year, no matter
what animal he may meet.

Willie Walker, the once famous jockey, who rode the
world -renowned Teh Broeck in most of his great races, in-
cluding many of his record ones, is now a trainer and owner.
He has just bought The Lion from Milton Young for $1,500.
The horse seems to have Bold remarkably cheap, for he has
worked a mile this season; with shoes on and weight up, in
1 :46J.

Whatever may be Proctor Knott's condition, nothing can
really be said of the horse until he makes his first appear-
ance in the three-year-old form, and that will certainly be in
the Two Thousand Stake at Nashville on May 2, and toward
that race everybody interested in racing matters is now look-
ing. Upon the gelding's performance there much depends.
If he had little trouble in winning that stake it is generally
understood that he will be a starter in the Derby the next
week, and Bryant would have no difficulty in selling him for
a fancy price.

The match race between Geraldine, Porter Ashe's mare,
and Al Farrow, Tupper's bay horse, is not off, as several of
the daily papers have stated, but will take place on the Bay
District Track next Saturday, The attempt will then be
made to beat Ten Broeok's record, and the weights are con-
sequently calculated from his. Al Farrow will carry 104
pounds, and Geraldine 99. and with favorable weather and
the track in as good conditou as it is now the record ought
to be broken.

The starter iB always at a great disadvantage in every
meeting held on the Pacific Coa it. The cause is evident,
the boys know that they will not face the same starter again
for nearly a year, and possibly not then, and consequently
they take every advantage they can. Fines may be imposed,
but when a boy iB ordered to get off in front he will ohance
them, for if be wins they are easily paid, and if he loses the
owner will generally pay them. This state of affairs might
be avoided if all the racing and trotting associations in the
State combined, and had one official starter who would take
in every meeting he could possibly attend.

The Blood Horee Association ought to be able to stand the
expense of printing the riders names on their official board,
or at least pay a decent writer to chalk them up, for as it is
no one on tarth kno^s who is up on any particular horse.

Dan McCarty will start out this morning for New Yoik.
stopping eff at Chicago, when Buchanan will take
Sorrento, Tom Daly, Dochertz, Harry Mac, Pandora, Passa-
dena and C. H. Todd to Louisville to rest np before the rac-
ing starts. Two carloads will follow shortly after— in fact as
soon as they can be obtained— containing principally trotting
stock, wheh will be sold in New York. "Dan says 52 head
will be shipped in the three consignments, among them being
several very fast trotters liable to get well inside thirty any
day, and considering that they are the pick of his lot (280
head) he ought to have a very successful sale.

Don Juan Bocan, who gave 6,000 guineas for Acme, hss
soon got part of bis money back, as Acme won the Liverpool
Spring Cup of £700, carrying 136 pounds, distance 2J miles.
The horse is heavily entered at Ascot, and will after meeting
his engagements, be shipped to Buenos Ayres for stud pur-
poses, and judging from his breeding and racing, he ought
to be a success there. He is four years old, by Dotch Skater,
he by Flying Dutchman out of Fulvie by Gladiator; his dam
is Myra, by DoncaBter out of Czarina by King Tom. Myra
was one of the brood mares sold at the sale of the late V> m.
Blenkiron, the well known breeder.

Bacine, Palo Alto's crack two-year-old, is probably the
best youngster that has ever been seen on the coast. His
dam (imp.), Fairy Bose, is byKisber, a Derby winner, out of
Hippolyta, by King Tom (the half brother to Stockwell and
Bataplan); his sire, Bishop, is by Shannon, dam Btttie
Bishop, by imported Buckden, a son of Lord Clifden (by
Newminster). If thiB iB not royal breeding, what is? Pobsi-
bly Bacine's running may canso Bishop, who is now figuring
at Clifton, Guttenberg and the various Eastern shady tracks,
to have a well-earned rest in some good harem.

The Wood scandal in England, is practically ended. When
the action was commenced Lord Durham pleaded justification
and the case wbb adjourned until Easter, but did not come
into court, as Wood withdrew from the action, paying his
own costs. Under the circumstances, Lord Durham agreed
to a "stet processus" being entered, paying his own costs,
but not withdrawing anything that he Baid at the memorable
Glincrack dinner, at New York, in 1887.

The Chetroynd-Durham cbbo will probably be settled in
the same way.

Wood, of course, is without a license to ride, and it is
highly probable that he will never apply for one again.

Big Jim GarlaDd had a dose of very bad luck on Tuesday
last. In the first race, six furlongs, Emotion could not have
lost had she been anywhere near White Cloud at the start.
Jim took bis medicine quietly, but when in the third race
Wanderer 2nd was left at the post with his head the other
way, then he did kick, and I am sure of one thing, he bad at
least the Bympathy of every one on the ground, for a harder
run of luck no man could have. On Thursday Wanderer
again had a little the worst of the send off, and to finish the
run of luck (bad, of course,) Emotion, at a starvation price,
found the mile and three-eighths too far.

To show what the sire of Bacine can do as a weight carrier,
the following is the result of a race at Guttenburg Saturday^

After the Introduction Purse last Saturday, several u^Iy
rumors were flying around about the running of Al Farrow;
and in consequence of the publicity given in one of the
Dailies to the drivelling remarks of the rider, tbedirectors
of the association held a meeting on Monday for tbe purpose
of investigating the matter. A postponement was made un-
til Tuesday night when Fred Carillo, the rider, and Jim
Brown, the trainer, were ruled off the track, Sir. Tupper be-
ing exonerated from all connivance and participation in the
alleged fraud.

Jim Brown at once demanded a rehearing of his share in
the proceedings and it was decided to reopen the case, as far
as he was concerned on Friday, the 26th, the result was not
known when we went to press.

From personal observation I feel assured that the horse
was fairly run out when he was passed by Brutus and Moses
B., the pace ami distance being too much for him when car-
rying the heavy weight of 117 pounds. With light weights he
can stand his own against any horse in the country, but he
does not relish carrying tons.

The ill lnck of some owners is unpleasantly shown in tbe
results on the English turf last year. "Mr. Abington'a"
Maynooth, which was tbe mo9t heavily engaged two year old
of tbe year and was entered in 68 races, only won an "over-
night race worth £101. Helvellyn and Freemason, the pro-
perty of the same gentleman, won nothing whatever during
the season, though tbe former ran in 67 aud the latter in 61
races. Mr. Benzon's Rigadoon was in 62 races, and won
nothing. The Dnke of Hamilton's Scottish Fnsilier and
Jummy had 102 engagements, and thellatter has won nothing,
while the former has won £200. "Mr. Manton's" Devil's
Dance, with 54 engagements, won £200.

This most interesting bit of gossip of the week touching
the Suburban was the scratcbing of the imported horse Ga-
lore from that race, in which he was handicapped at 116
pounds, says the New York Times. No horse has been more
curiously handled than he since his arrival in this country.
Costing a thousand guineas, he was brought to this country
and permitted to be banged around in a manner that was
sufficient to ruin any racer, owing to the fact that his owner.
Mr. Maxwell, had neglected to have any one at the stemner
to receive and care for him immediately on his arrival. Then
he was taken over to Long Island, where he bad a bad at-
tack of strangles, and oame very near dying. He was, in
fact, twice reported dead, a rumor which was again in circu-
lation yesterday, but which had no foundation in fact. Qnite
recently the horee was put in the hands of W. L. Gilpin,
who last season was trainer for Mrs. George L. Lonllard.
Gilpin has probably discovered that there is d<> ility

of getting the horse into condition for a bard r
and so he has had him scratched, in order t<
from backing him in the ante-post betting, i
one last week backed him for $50 to win $5,0

Wire Netting-

A most useful application of the elegantly finished wire
netting offered by Mr. Geo. B. Bayley, 210 and 212 Davis
Street, San Francisco, is to kennel fencing. The netting is
clean,' handsome, durable, safe, and in every way desirable
for poultry and rabbit-proof fencing, for cattle and division
fences, and for any other use where light, easily erected and
thoroughly good wire netting can be applied.

Only An Old Mare.

It is not uncommon to find a dog or a horBe with intelli-
gence above its kind in as marked a degree as the superi-
ority of certain men over the common average. This, too,
iB aside from breeding, as the animal is often a mongrel, with
no approach to a type or family. It does not follow that
horses could be bred with a view to mental development
with startling results; but thus far that does not seem to have
been done, and the instances of which we speak were doubt-
less the result of accident— not that intelligence is ever the
result of aggregated stupidity, but the mating of the given
animals was done without such result m view. About thirty
years ago an old Pennsylvania Dutoh farmer named Conrad

C lived in the western part of that state, several miles

from the village where he did his trading. He owned an old
black mare, which he always rode on his trips to town, and,
being a sort of Tarn O'Sbanter, the old mare never earned
home a sober load. Her care over her owner (for when he
was drunk she furnished the sense for both) was remarkable.
She would go up to a stump or a fence to enable him to
climb on her back when he had great difficulty in mannging
himself and would never start until he was in the saddle.
When he would lean over her to the right or left she would
move in that direction, and would actually strive to keep
herself under him. If he fell off, which he often did, she
would stand over him till help came or he got sober enough
to rise. When she got him home she would whinny till
some member of the household came out. She was a mare
of spirit, too, and had the witches, like thoBe of Kirk-Allo-
way assailed her master, she would doubtless have carried
him'off with all the speed of the famous Masgie. She was
known far and wide, and justly commanded a higher degree
of respect than her master.— [Exchange.

Do Cockneys like Fighting ?

London, April 6.— Trotting, although so popular in Amer-
ica, has never been really in favor in England, owing in
part to the questionable practices with which it has been sur-
rounded, and partly because faBhion never lent its- counte-
nance to the amusement. It is not, however, unreasonable
to assert that trotting, properly carried out, may do for our
harness horses what racing and steeple chasing have done
for our hunters. The National Trotting Association came to
an end last year, and its decease may possibly prove to be
the beBt thing that could have happened if trotting is to take
a place in the list of English amusements. The old associa-
tion stood in the way of many necessary reforms, but now
that it is defunct a strenuous attempt is being made to place
trotting upon a more satisfactory basiB. The first step toward
regeneration has been the formation ot the Alexandra Park
Trotting Club, of which Sir Edward Lee is president. A new
code of roles, formed upon the. lines of those in vogue in
America, has been drawn up, and includes some stringent
provisions agiinst those dishonest practices which in the
past have doce so much to bring trotting into disrepute. The
new departure has been so far successful that 100 persons
have joined the club, although its first meeting was held no
longer ago than March 11. Six meetings will be held in the
course of the forthcoming season; the first is fixed for May
6th and 7th, and will take place at Alexandra Park.

There are several circumstances which should combine to
give trotting a chance of raising its head. In the first place,
there are in England a great many Americans who doubtless
bring over with them a love of the national sport, and would
no doubt readily give its establishment some encouragement
over here, if they be convinced of the bona fides of the new
undertaking. Secondly, a knowledge of trotting, as prac-
ticed in America, is becoming more general among us; and
without wishing to draw invidious clasB distinctions, there is
now a chance of trotting being taken np by a more influen-
tial body than that whiuh patronized it under the defunct
National Trotting Association. Only a very short time ago
pony and galloway racing was not much thought of, but the
foundation of the society which has now taken it under its
protection has brought a great change, and it is now a fash-
ionable amusement. Moreover a large number of American
trotters have recently been imported into England, and there
is a proposal on foot lo establish a permanent mart for them
in London. In conclusion, therefore, it seems to us that a
chanoe now presents itself for placing trotting on a satisfac-
tory basis; and, remembering the late Hiram Woodruff's dic-
tum that "the English have wasted an enormous Bum of
money by neglecting their trotterB, the blood for which they
had ready to hand," those who own fast trotting horses may
now be indnoed to give the amusement a trial. — London

Weak Foals.

The fact that a foal cannot stand during the first nine
days after birth is not of itself evidence that the foal must
die If a colt does not stand soon after birth it is well to
raise it to a standing position and teach it how to use its
legs: If in doing this it is discovered that the colt is too weak
to stand, the youngster should be rnbbed with a woolen
cloth, wet with quite warm water, every pint of which may
contain about a tablespoon of alcohol, then rubbed dry, the
operation being completed by brisk, but not harsh hand-rub-
bing. The colt should then be held up to the dam. It it
stands, even though it need help, all wfll be well; but if it is
still too weak to stand the dry hand-rubbing should be per-
sisted in until it will stand alone. Of course the foal should
be kept in a warm place, anything like a chill being likely
either to kill it, or at least seriously interfere with its devel-
opment. If in spite of this treatment foals die, there is some
fault which must be corrected before birth. If the successive
get of any horse or foals ot any mare die in this way, such
horse or mare should not be used for breeding purposes.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Every lover of sport
in fin and wing will cordially commend the remarks of P. J.
Shafter in your paper of last week, in reference to the con-
duct of the class of thoughtless or reckless pursuers and
slaughterers of game, who wantonly destroy all that comes
in their way, and thereby disgrace the name of sportsman.
These graceless, utterly selfish and maranding hunters of
fish, flesh and fowl have no thought or care for any except
theinBelves, for any who come after them, or for the due
preservation of the noble and prized game which they pur-
sue and kill in much the same temper as the savage pursues
and kills the objects of his remorseless passion— only to gloat
upon his prey, to satisfy his Inst of feasting and gluttony,
to enjoy a fresh Bcalp, and to boast of his disgusting exploit-
ing. Their idea of a day's Bport in field or stream is to kill
everything and all of game species which happens in thoir
butchering way, merely for the brag of the slaughter, graced
only bv the enjoyment of the stuffing at the table, which
comes 'with the swilling and the boisteronsness— as bandits
of the field and buccaneers of the flood banquet after their
deeds of pillage and enormities.

The true sportsman haB conscience and regard for others.
He enjoys the sport, and is mindful of the game. He kills
according to hie pnrpoBe nnd skill, and ceases without
slaughter, for he keeps in mind that the game must be pre-
served so that others shall similarly enjoy and extermination
shall not imperil perpetuation. The reckless hunter kills at
every opportunity, or maims if he cannot kill, from wanton
impulse. He finds he can kill beyond the capacity of bag or
basket revels in the slaughter which goes to waste, and has
the shamelessness to play the Munohauson as he blusters
his disgraceful exploit, the imitation of which by others of
his kind destroys "the game, and spoilB good sport without
benefit to any. .

It is this wanton slaughter which has exterminated Buf-
falo from the great plains, driving elk and deer into inacces-
sible hannts, and impoverished the streams of their choicest
species of the finny genus. . -. ,

The native Galifornians before the Amenoan occupation
slaughtered cattle for their hides and tallow, there was pro6t
in the trade, and the cattle were innumerable. No other
suffered by the indiscriminate slaughter. The Spanish cattle
have disappeared. In the early gold period, deer and ante-
lope were plentiful in California. There are deer in- the
mountains still, bnt the antelope is seen only in the menage-
ries. Wild feathered game was abundant. Game laws have
fairly preserved the choice species. But game laws more
stringent are needed for the better protection of the fish— for
the finer species in the smaller streams especially— against
the wanton destruction by reckless fishers who are not an-
glers.

Thirty years ago, Oregon was the grandest country of the
oontinent, in the abundance and the qualitv of its wild game
of every genus — elk and deer, feather and fin. In the hills
and fields were splendid pheasants and grouBe; quail were
plentiful; in the river bottom lands and ^marshes snipe of
finest species and game birds of every kind abounded. In
the rivers and smaller Btreams were salmon, trout and other
varieties of choice table fish. Of this vastlabondonoe Oregon
has now only a fraction left in most parts of ihe State. Elk
are very rare and Beldom found. Black tail deer have al-
most disappeared, and the less prized species are hardly
plentiful. The native pheasant and the grouse are rarely
met with, and snipe are quite a curiosity.

The lack of timely game laws caused this examination and
decimation. The first game law introduced in the Territorial
Legislature in 1857, was defeated, the proposition to establish
a close season was strenuously opposed by the members
from the rural districts who were largely in the majority.

"What!" broke forth the foremost spokesman of this ele-
ment, "Bto'p a man from shooting pheasant and groUBe, quail
in the mating season, or on the ground or fenceB, male or

female whatever time or which ever way man can shoot

them easiest? It is outrageous and against the rights and
liberty of a citizen. Why, Mr. Speaker, I can't shoot a bird
no other way. I haven't got no shot gun; mine iB a nfle, and
the damned' things are mighty hard to Bhoot when they are
flying. I shoot them every time Lean, and its only when
they are setting that I can hit them. The bill is an outrage
and ought not to pass." ,.„. .

It did not pass, ibis kind of argument killed it, as its ad-
vocates killed the game— "setting." Not until Oregon be-
oame a State and years subseqncntly.when the necessity for
a game law bad become generally apparent, was a law of the
kind enacted, and that of so imperfect a nature as to make
it quite inoperative. But a better and adequate game law
has been in force for some years, and Oregon is recovering
from the wanton and indiscriminate slaughter of game which
bad so much prevailed. Parties were addicted to destroying
trout and other fish by throwing poison berries in the
streams, and some to the use of giant powder, killing hun-
dreds, merely for the "sport." This sort of Bport is now
oriminally punished, as it should be in every land, and again
the waters of Oregon afford good angling for the sportsman

and epicure *

The thing to do in California is the rigid eforcement of the
game law in every part of the State, as to fur, feather and fin
alike; and thus early in the season the preparation for this
Bhonl'd be made, for the surer ond better preservation of all
kindB of wild game. J. O'M.

Blue and White Cranes Protected.

Mr. J. K. Orr sends the following query, which it is a
pleasure to answer. The query came to him originally:

Friend Obb: — Mr. Beckwith said yesterday that he is
informer! that a law recently passed makes it a midemeanor
to kill blue or white cranes, $50 fine, etc. "Will you kindly
let me know if such is the case, and I will let Paine know at
once, as that is the very business he wants soon to go at. I
don't know where to go for the information, and 1 deem it
very important for him to know, so appeal to you to find out
and let me know. G. G. Burnett.

Answer. — Assembly Bill No. 171, introduced by Mr.
McKeowu of Alvarado, pissed both houses, was signed by
Governor Waterman, and is now the law. The intent of
the act, is to assist in protecting the levee- which have been
ereoted about tale and swamp lands. Gophers and other
rodents do much injary to the levees, and as cranes catch a
great many of the pests the bill seems to be a good and sound
one. It is in the following words:
AN ACT.

TO PREVENT THE CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION OF BLUE CRANES
IN THIS STATE.

The people of the State of California, represented in Senate
and Assembly, do enact as follows:

Section. 1. Any person or persons who shall willfully
and knowingly shoot, wouad, trap, snare, or in any other
manner catch or capture any blue crane in the state of Cali-
fornia, cr shall knowingly take, injure, or distroy the nest
of any [white or] blue crane, or shall take, injure, or distroy
any bine crane's eggs, in the neBt or otherwise, in said State,
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convio-
tion thereof before any Justice of the Peace of the township
in which the offence shall have have been committed, shall
be fined in a sum not less than fifty dollars nor exceeding one
hundred dollars, and the cost of the action for each offense,
or may be imprisoned not less than fifty days nor more than
one hundred days, or by such fine and imprisonment, as the
the judgment of the court may direct.

Sec 2. Of all fines collected under the provisions of this
Act, one half Bhall be paid to the informer or informers, and
one half shall be paid into the County Treasury for the bene-
fit of the Common School Fund.

Sec. 3. This Act shall take effect and be in force from
and. after its passage.

CANOING.

Oakland Canoe Club.

There was a large attendance at the boat house last Sunday
in anticipation of the quarterly race for the Mayrisch badge.
The trophy was held by Mr. G. Wright, of the Shadow, who
secured it by a walk-over last time, all the rest returning on
account of lack of wind. The time set for the start was two
o'clock, but the breeze was so light it was resolved to wait an
hour in hopes of an improvement. About three the summer
trade wind in a mild form put in an appearance, and the
judge immediately called for the contestants to gel within the
line. A poor start was made, Mystic and Frolic btingleft
some one hundred yards in the rear, but as the race to a
large extent lay between them, it did not so much matter.
Before the stake was reached these two caooes showed at the
head of the fleet, Mystic rounding fir-it, followed by Frolic
some thirty yards behind. The breeze now freshened, and
it was a pretty sight to see the fleet working^ to windward,
every skipper hanging well out to hold up his racing sails.
In the second tack Frolic was to windward of Mystic, and
soon took a long lead. Pirate and Gypsy had it neck and
neck for some time, and later, when Mystic got into trouble
on the mud, she was over-taken by them. In the meantime
Frolic got iDto the doldrumsjjnear home, which enabled the
fleet to reduce her lead a little, but she came in an easy win-
ner three and one-half minutes ahead of Gypsy. Mystio and
Pirate had a tremendous struggle for third place, the Pirate
getting it by one-half minute. The following are the times
and expired times:

It has been decided to hold a public auotion of all dogs
shown at the P. K. C. show on May 22nd, which owners de-
Bire to have sold. The auction will occur on the last evening
of the show and will be a most favorable opportunity to dis-
pose of good specimens. The inquiry for premium lists indi-
cates general interest in the show which promises to be a
very large one.

Readers are again urged not to overlook the advertisement
of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club which appears els? where.
Entries enough have already been made to insure a rich and
interesting stake, but there are very many firBt claBs young
setters and pointers which have not been entered. No en-
try bearing a post mark later than May 1st., can be received.

"The Elms" Kennels, of Forest Lake, Minnesota, advertise
English setters, Pointers, Irish Water Spaniels, Great Danes
and St. Bernards of the purest and best Field Trial and
show winning blood. The kennels are located in*a country
particularly well adapted to the development of good sport-
ing breeds, and St. Bernards, and local buyers can save much
in express charges by purchasing in Minnesota instead of at
points further East.

Judge C. N. Post has been in San Francisco for a week on
business, but has found time to lighten this editiosial den on
several oocasions. A mure charming raconteur or more
thoroughly posted fancier of English Betters we do not recall,
and his visits are highly appreciated, despite the heated ar-
guments which always ensue. He has several entries for
the field trial Derby of considerable promise.

Mr. J. Martin Barney offers through the advertising col-
umns two Tom Pinch-Galatea pointer puppies. The offer
is one that should arrest the attention of all who contem-
plate buying dogs of the breed. Tom Pinch is the best-look-
ing pointer on the Pacific CoaBt, and, in the opinion of John
Davidson, is fit for competition with any pointer he ever
saw. His breeding is fashionable. The dam Galatea shows
as much quality as ever was done up in pointer form, and
is, to our notion, even better bred than Tom for field uses.
It is to be regretted that Mr. Barney feels compelled to part
with his Derby entries, bat his misfortune must result in
gain to the fortunate purchasers. Both puppies should be
entered in the Derby:

Mr. A. B.Truman has established the Elcho Kennels at
1425 Sreiner Street, San Francisco. He was formerly on
Bush Street, but needed more room, aud at his present loca-
tion he has secured ample scope both for the care of his
present stud of superb Irish setters aud pointers, and for
growth. The kennel yard proper is very large, and he con-
trols in addition a large sand lot immediately to the rear,
where his dogs can romp and exercise. A recent visit im-
pressed us with the idea that Mr. Truman has as good
arrangements and takes as good care of his dogs as anybody
we know. They are clean, sound and lively, and are just
now being put into that faultless condition in which he
always shows them, for exhibition at the P. K. C. show.

Unfortunate!

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have had Borne more
of my luck this morning. My mastiff bitch got to the fox
terrier puppies and killed four out of the six. They were
the prettieBt litter I ever saw. James E. Watson.

San Francisco, April 23, '89.

Dr- Davenport Replies-

A recent visit to the kennels of Mr. Wm. DeMott near San
Rafael, in company with Messrs. Osborne and Potter, Judge
Post and Mr. Tom Burns, took on the character of a delight
ful pionic. The company was anything but austere, and a
lovely day, heightened spirits, already well up. The kennels
are placed in a most suitable spot, about a mile from San
Anselmo Station, on the North Pacific Coast Railroad. The
place is perfectly adapted for such uses, there being shade,
dry ground and running water. There are twenty-eight dogB
in the yards, most of them in fine shape. Mr. DeMott has
wisely adopted the yard system, and none of his dogs are
left to mope on chain. High enclosures of clean wire netLing
serve to confine the dogs safely while they can see all about
them on all sides. Mr. DeMott as a pains-taking man who
is devoted to his charges and his business of training shoot-
ing dogs, and he will undoubtedly turn up a splendid string
of cracks for the Dext field trials. No pleasanter way to
spend an afternoon can be imagined than to visit his place.

Johnson's Stud Cocker, at Santa Barbara.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I fiDd in your good
paper of the 20th inst., a letter from M. P. McKoon to me
which reflects on E. Cohoon as a breeder of cocker spaniels.
Its rather amusing to find the old gent's jealous bump bo
easily stirred up. Its very easy to make a mistake in a letter
or figure so a date or a word will sound different from the
real meaning. He has very little faith in Cohoon to think
he would give a wrong date or to bread a bitch out of proper
season.

I purchased these two bitches, Cherry and Vic, on March
4, 1889, so you can see I had nothing to do with the breed-
ing. I will say if Mr. McK. has or raises any finer, healthier
or cleaner cocker puppies than these that Cherry and Vic
has, he failed to send them to me, for I paid for four, but
Been three; one he said died from eating gravel after it was
six weeks old, (but I paid him for it). He is aware I have
three of the finest cocker bitches in America, and that is
what makes him feel bad.

Enclosed please find the pedigree that came with these
bitches.

Death of Judge Leavesley.

Mr. Francis Edward Noyes Leavesley, more generally
known to Californians as "Judge Leavesley," died at Gihoy
on April 21st, the cause being pneumonia. Mr Leavesley
was an octogenarian, but preserved his faculties to the last.
He came to the state by sailing vessel from England in 1849,
and for many years shot for market in the counties about
San Francisco, being quite successful. About 1855 he entered
upon the training of shooting dogs, and followed the business
up to the time of his death, with varyiDg fortune, but with-
ont ever reaching a commanding position as a breaker. Be-
ing the only professional breaker for many years a large
number of fairly good dogs naturally passed under his super
vision, and he turned out several that were satisfactorily
broken. In later years he became more or Iobs indifferent to
the need of care in breeding and preserving the breeding of
his dogs. Judge Leavesley was a man of considerable force
and if he hart not in earlier years been soured and estranged
he would undoubtedly have reached a noteworthy position in
literary pursuits. Intended for the law, he received a good
preliminary education, but on leaving England he put aside
all books but one. and to his dying day abstained from gen-
eral reading, confining his studies to Shakespeare, of whose
writings he was the moflt thorough student we have ever
known. He thought in Shakespearean phrases, and some of
his contributions to. this journal were little else but aptly
joined quotations from his favorite author. He exemplified
the breadth and grasp which close Btudy of such a master of
all arts can confer. Personally, Judge Leavesleylwas a bright,
keen, witty, alert and likeable man, and be leaves many Bin-
cere friends to mourn hia passage into the place of waiting.

Chicago has decided to celebrate Washington's Birthday by
following the hounds in an imitation fox hunt. Six months
ago the leaders in her best society ceased stamping the little
tin pails of lard turned out at their refineries with the famil-
iar porker's profile, but instead emblazoned thereon a lion
rampent, says the New York Tribune. It was clear from that
moment that American ideas and institutions were doomed
in Chicago-by-the-Lake.

We are assured that the most extensive preparations are
being made for the meet. Chicago, however, keeps in view
the fact that discretion has long been recommended as being
the most desirable part of valor, and is determined to take no
risks.

To this end we are told, those having the matter in charge,
"after an earnest consultation, have determined to have no
jumps or obstacles of any kind on the course," even if it
Bomewhat mars the effect, the committee being "fearful of
the consequences." All dangerous American barbed wire
fences, sign boards, trees, bushes, stones, and other objects
are being carefully removed from the course, which will be
twelve miles straight-away, and the farmers along the route
will be requested to keep in their cows, hogs, and poultry
on the day of the meet. The committee hates »o take these
precautions, but the consequences hang over it by a single
hair, and render it fearful.

Various other precautionary measuies are under consider-
ation by the committee, and may be adopted. A plan for
strewing the course thickly with feather beds, spring mat-
trasses, and so forth, to ward off, in a measure, the "oonBe-
quences," haB been suggested, but it is thought that the coBt
will be too great. It is believed that by strapping pillows to
various parts of the persons of the riders, practically the
same results may be reached at only a fraction of the expense.
The idea of strapping each rider firmly to his horse met with
no approval except amon£ some of the more timid; but a
novel plan has been proposed in its place, and will probably
be carried out. Each rider will wear a jacket whnh will be
short enough so that as he sits on his horse the lower edge
of it will be some six inches from the cantle of the saddle.

The jaoket edge will then be fastened to the saddle by a
half dozen stout six inch spiral springs. This, it is thought,
will inBure great safety and leave the intrepid follower of the
hounds ample freedom of motion. In case the horse falls,
takes an imaginary hedge, or otherwise becomes highly un-
pleasant for a Chicago man, the rider will simply fly up into
the air a foot or two and be drawn back quickly and surely
to the padded eaddle. On Washington's birthday Chicago
will be in the saddle, and retained there most of the time by
strong steel springs.

The hounds will be procured from Detroit. A man from
Oshkosh attempted to foist some of his hounds on the com-
mittee, but the manifest superiority of Detroit hounds,
coming, as they do, from so near British territory, being
pointed out, the gentleman from Wisconsin did not get a
bid. The committee politely but firmly advised him tc take
his sample dog back to Odbkosh. Whether or not semi-
English horses will also be used is not stated, but it seems
probable that they will.

The 22d of February promises to be a moBt remarkable day
for Chicago. Laying aside any little animosities which may
have been engendered among her society leaders by suriepti-
tious cutting in the price of leaf lard and side pork, they will
mount their spirited bobtailed horses and dash away along
the picturesque lake front twelvy miles straight toward Mil-
waukee. With the gamey anise seed bag disappearing on
the horizon, the Detroit bounds in full cry, the resolute
Chicago riders clinging to the pommels of their PadrT
the strength of desperation, and a physician stationed
half mile to render assistance it needed, the scetH
worth a long journey to witness. We wish the m-
Buccesa possible, and "no consequences."

bate Importations of Trotters-

The purchases of trotting stock lately made in the
East for California appear to some as on a par with
"sending coals to Newcastle." There are some grounds
for the comparison, as trotting stock is quite plentiful
here, but benefits are to be derived from obtaining new
strains or superior individuals of families which are fully
represented. A positive outcross is difficult to obtain
where the recognized trotting families are depended
upon to perpetuate the race. That the Hambletonian
class is entitled to the first place among all the tribes of
trotters will be generally admitted, the second position
is not so easily determined. Mambrino Chief and Clay,
if put to the test of a popular vote, would run so close
that the last ballots would have to be counted before an
authoritative settlement could be reached, while Pilot,
Morgan, Bashaw, Blackhawk, Champion, Hiatoga and
others would get a prominent place in the estimation of
a goodly number of the admirers of fast trotting.

While there is little doubt of all the purchases lately
made in the East by California breeders being valuable,
that of B. C. Holly was assuredly a happy choice. So
far as we krow there was only one stallion by Kentucky
Prince in this State before the importation of Mountain
Boy. That is Dexter Prince, and his colts are of -more
than ordinary promise. Barely bred, being from a
sister to Dexter, it would have been Bomewhat anomalous
if the get of Dexter Ptince did not Bhow a good deal of
merit, though a majority of trotting horse breeders would
prefer the maternal line of Mountain Boy. His dam is
a sister to Elaine, Prospero, Dame Trot, and two others
in the 2:30 list, and consequently his graodam is the dam
of Electioneer. The near crosses are not the only re-
markable feature in the pedigree, though these approach
the phenomenal. The sire, Kentucky Prince, has eleven
representatives with records from 2:12 to 2:19£, three of
them inside of 2:20, and tbe paternal grandsire, Clark
Chief, though he died young, has six representatives in
2:30 or better. The maternal grandsire, Messenger
Duroc, has 15 in the list, and the grandam, Green Moun-
tain Maid, has six which have beaten 2:30, and another
with a record of 2:32. Were all the near kin of Mcun-
tain Boy which have trotted in 2:30 sought for the list
would be a wonderful exhibition of family speed.

Not the least surprising of all the notable features is
the combination of blood in one animal which is found
in Mountain Boy. In the third remove aTe Mambrino
Chief, Morgan Eagle, Hambletonian and Harry Clay
while back of that there are several lines tracing to
Mambrino, the horse which in our opinion has done
more for fast trotting than all the other sons of Messenger
or as might be stated with sound argument to sustain it,
with such a vast number of fast trotting descendants as
to practically cover the whole list.

When blood lines are the teBt there will be compara-
tively few who will ■ not coincide in the statement that
the purchase by Mr. Holly was "judgmatical," and
those who have seen him also agree in pronouncing him
a horse of high form and with "perfect action."

The old adage that "blood is blood but form is super-
iority," is rather clumsily put though conveying valua-
ble information. Form and action are the two most es-
sential points in choosing a sire. There should be the
addition of blood or pedigree, whichever it may be
called, for high excellence in the progeny cannot be
reasonably expected without the union, but if either is
lacking, our preference would be for animals which had
individual merit, if even there was a tinge of plebian in
their parentage.

We have heard Mountain Boy described as a horse
15 1 bauds, inordinary condition, weighing 1100 pounds,
and as might be looked for from height and weight, of
great muscular power. He is dark brown with tan-
colored flanks and muzzle, and bears a strong resem-
blance to Uncle Electioneer. Whether Harry Clay or
Shanghai Mary had the most to do in fixing the type of
the descendants of Green Mountain Maid can only be
conjecture, so the fairest verdict will be to credit both.
Judging from Elaine, Electioneer and his progeny, there
is a distinct departure from the usual type of the descen-
dants of Hambletonian. There is a higher finish, more
quality to use an expressive term, and as the combina-
tion of Clay and Hambletonian in Stamboul, the son of
Sultan and Fleetwing, has produced a like result, it is
not out of the way for the admirers of the Clay tribe to
urge the claims of their favorite. That Mountain Boy
will be a valuable acquisitiou to the trotting stock of
California is beyond question, and that his owner will
give him an opportunity is also assured. Mr. Holly
has a number of the right kind of mares to couple with
bis horse, and as his future operations in horse breeding
will be mainly restricted to the production of fast trot-
ters, we hope that all the thoroughbred mares in his stud
will be coupled with Mountain Boy. The success which
has followed the mating of Electioneer with thorough-
bred mares is an augury that his near relative will also

do well, especially when form and action are so nearly
alike. That valuable animals will come from the mix-
ture there is scarcely any doubt, that a fair proportion
cf fast trotters will likewise be a return is nearly as cer-
tain.

Paoiflo Coast Trottinar-Horse Breeder's Asso-
ciation.

There was abundant evidence at the meeting which
was held on the 19th inst., that the Pacific Coast Trot-
ting-Horse Breeder's Association had received a favorable
start.

Eleven directors were elected, and their names, which
appear on another page, are sufficient guarantee that the
affairs of the association will be properly managed. The
attendance was large enough to show that there was a
general interest in the organization, and this is con-
formed by tbe number of members already obtained.
The low charge for membership, $25, and with annual
dues placed at $5, there are good reasons for the belief
that the roll will soon show many hundred names. This
will depend, however, on the bearing the by-laws will
have on entrance to pu.sesand nominations in stakes.
Several propositions were presented, and with advocates
for them all. Probably a full majority were in favor of
restricting both to members, while others would embrace
in eligibility the get of stallions owned by members.

Not having the proceedings of the meeting before us at
the time of writing, we are in doubt whether the resolu-
tion offered by Mr. Hatch, and which was carried, made
eligibility dependent on membership or included the
other clause, though to the best of our recollection the
ri^ht to make entries was confined to members.

There was not a dissenting voice when the resolution
was offered that parties living outside of the Pacific Coast
should have the privilege without being members of the
association. The simple method of overcoming the diffi-
culty appears to be the best, and when membership is so
easily obtained, it cannot be considered a hardship. If
broader ground is covered there will not be the same
desire to join, and should the right to enter be acquired
by owning a colt which was got by a stallion owned by
a member there would still be a curtailment of the list.
It might be advisable to make a distinction between
purses and stakes, the object being to provide for prob-
able contingencies. That stakes will be usually adopted
is altogether likely, but there may be instances when
purses will have to be added to make the programme
complete, and also necessary to get them up at short
notice in order to take the place of stakes which have
lapsed at the last moment. There would be a manifest
advantage then in making entries "open," confining
nominations to members.

A novel proposition was offered and carried, so novel
that it is doubtful if there is a precedent in the history
of either trotting or racing. That was that a person
should acquire the privilege of naming a stake either
after himself or a horse on the payment of $300, to be
added to the stake which he christened. This will be
akin to the practice which prevails in some of the Euro-
pean spates of Belling titles of nobiliety, and when a per-
son thinks that there is either profit or notority to re-
emburse him for the outlay, the treasury of the associa-
tion will be that much "ahead." Whether the accretion
will make amends for the innovation is somewhat
doubtful.

As a rule stakes are named after men on account of
their prominence in turf and trotting circles, or from
some connection with the sport. The main idea is that
it shall be an acknowledgement of meritorious services,
a desire to present a token of esteem and respect, a pub-
lic recognition of worth, an honor on both sides. But
make it an article of purchase and there is little honor
left. The association loses its dignity when it stands
in the position of a mendicant soliciting purchasers for
that which should be above barter aud sale; the acceptor
exhibits a singular desire to place his name before the
public when it is well known that it is a paid for "ad,"
notoriety in place of celebrity being the return for the
investment. There may be a spice of fun, however,
which will partially repay for the surrender of the
standing of the association.

There are to be no restrictions -further than the pay-
ment of three hundred dollars. Any one can deposit the
amount and claim the reward.

Testimonials in big letters across the poster will be
sure to attract attention, while other conspicuous head
lines may be in suphorious unison and the Warping Bar's
Cup, the Gambler's Ghost Offering, stand out in bold re-
lief as the great events of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeder's Association.

Though the title seemed appropriate when the project
was first agitated, from the present outlook there appears
to be a necessity for change and that the elimation of
horse breeders will be an improvement. In order toob-
tain a membership which would insure success it was
good policy to open the doors so as to include all who

have an inclination for trottiDg horses, or fondness for
track sports. Not one in twenty, pf.rhaps, of the ulti-
mate membership which cah be classed as trotting horse
breeders, and yet just as valuable to the association as
those who have big establishments.

There is a necessity for a wider field of action than
could be properly termed an association of trotting horse
breeders. There is the future to provide for as well as
the present, and a good prospect that ere many years
this Coast will demand an organization outside of the
Eastern association. With thousands of miles between
the eastern boundary of this country and the centers of
the oriental district, there is small likelihood of being
properly represented, and when questions have to be
settled, especially those depending upon oral testimony,
there are obstacles in the way which are nearly insur-
mountable.

The stakes to which the association will open for
decision this year elicited a good deal of discussion. The
necessity of keeping up the National Trotting Stallion
Stake was generally conceded. Still there are difficulties
in the way of duplicating the stake of last year. Stam~
boul will be likely to deter others from coming in, and
a bar of any description will "he a bad precedent. The
owner of Stainboul, however, is a gentleman of so much
public spirit that in all probability he would cheerfully
agree that Stamboul should not be in the way, and that
arranged there should be no trouble in obtaining a full
list of nominations. A smaller stake than was required
last year will meet the wishes of a majority of stal-
lion owners, and one of $500 each, with a first payment
of $100, or a second of $150, and a third of ©250, ensure
a large number to accept the engagement. The Pri-
mary and Junior Stallion Stakes should not be per-
mitted to lapse, and to make the list complete one for
four-year-old stallions should be gotten up. If we were
asked to name the class which gave the greatest promise
of good sport in California this year, there would be no
hesitancy in saying four-year-old stallions. While Direct
had the call over his three-year-old contemporaries,
there were so many only a shade behind that he will be
a wonderfully lucky colt to retain the supremacy. It
also appears proper to make different class for three and
four-year-olds. That is to have a sufficient number of
stakes for each age to give all a chance, and to do that
three may be required. For instance, one free for all of
the stipulated age, one for three-year-old stallions, and
one for all three year-olds which are eligible under spec-
ified conditions.

That the new association will give due consideration
to all these points, "goes without saying," and though it
cannot be expected that all the machinery will be in
nerfect running order this season, from the character of
those who have been placed in charge, ultimate success
is assured.

P. G. T. H. B. A.

On Friday evening, April 19th, the GtsI regular meeting of
the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Association met at
the Palace Hotel to elect directors and farther the interests of
the society by establishing stake raoes for trotters. Mr. J,
H. White, of Sonoma Co., who was elected president at the
last meeting, occupied the chair. Many queries having been
made as to the object of the association, it will be in order to
give one clause from the by-laws:

The association shall have for its object the encouragement
of the breeding of the highest type of the trotting horse, the
elevation of the Btindard of the trotting tnrf and the preven-
tion, detection and punishment of frauds thereon.

A large number of gentlemen were present from all over
the State, and great interest was manifested in the proceed-
ings. The first business before the meeting being the elec-
tion of a Board of Director-*. On motion the following gen-
tlemen were selected to (ill the positions: L. H. Mcintosh,
Otrico; L. U. Shippee, Stockton; H. M. LaRue, Sacramento;
F. L. Coombs, Napa; J. H. White, Sonoma Co.; R. T. Car-
roll, OakUnd; N. T. Smith, San Francisco; W. H. Hobart,
Sin Francisco; D. J. Murphy, Milpitas; M. Saulsbury,
Pleasanton; L. J. Rose, Los Angeles.

On motion a committee on by-laws and constitution was
selected, the following gentlemen agreeing to serve: Wilfred
Page, F. W. Loeber, F. H. Barke, W. E. Green and W. Cor-
bitt.

After the election of this committee a sort of "good of the
order" discussion ensued, several of the members expressing
their views as to the beBt methods of increasing interest in
the association. The opinion was unanimous that the suc-
cesses of last year should be perpetuated by establishing a
grand National Stallion Stake and also National Colt Stakes.
The Board of Trustees have the matter in charge, and will
shortly announce the stakes and conditions. It was decided
that the initiation fee should be $25, and the annual dues $5.
A resolution was passed, the purport of which was that
only members of the association should be allowed to make
entries in the stakes, except in the case of persons who do
not live on the Pacific Coast, they being given the privilege
to make entries. As the admission fee is so very small, the
resolution Bhould not discourage small breeders, and it will
tend to build up this infant Association to very large propor-
tions. The new Board of Directors held a meeting lust night,
but at too late an hour for us to give any particulars.

D. J. K., Haywards.

Will you please state in your next issue the breeding of
Honest John and Billy Cheatham; also their records, if any,
as I have a mare sired by the former and ber dam by the
latter?

Answer. — There have been two Hon6st Johns in Cali-
fornia, one brought here from the East in 1854; he was by
Long Island Black Hawk. There was another horse of the
same name that trotted about 1877 in this State. We do not
know his pedigree. He has a record of 2:44. Billy Cheatham
was a running horse, by Cracker, dam Lucy by Mingo.

H. H., Cedarville.

The man that owned Gilpatrick was named O'Brien, who
now lives at Mr. Carroll's, Bodega, Sonoma Co. He may be
able to give you the information you desire in reference to
the horse.

Geo. L. Wolf:

Will you please answer me the following question as early
as convenient. If a jockey rider is ruled off for one year on the
Stockton track and the time has not expired, does it prevent
him from riding races in Honolulu at the present, time. This
jockey I refer to, is in the Hawaiian IstandB, and has chances
to ride and would like to do so without trouble. By answer-
ing you will greatly oblige.

Answer. — If the Stockton Association have notified the
directors of the Kapiolana Park, of the suspension of the
jockey they will not allow him to ride. If, however, they
have had no official notification, no objection would be sus-
tained.

James McCaw:

Will you please give through the columns of your valuable
paper the pedigree and record of Poster's Prince trotting
stallion.

Answer. — Dexter Prince, by Kentucky Prince, dam Lady
Dexter by Hambletonian 10 2ad dam, Clara by Seeley's
American Star. He is not in the 2:50 list.

B. W. Spear, Los Angeles.

Would you please find pedigree of the old trotting mare
Lucy Allen; about twelve years old, and I think sired by
Niagara, record 2:26. She was out of a Patchen mare. If
you oan give me any information about this Lucy Allen;
stands afeout 16 hands high, weight about 1,100, and dapple
bay?

Answer. — We do not know the mare.

Coney Island Jockey Club.

The Futurity nnd Realization stakes

The attention of breeders ib called to the advantage of en-
tering for these Btakes, wherein, by assuming an almost nom-
inal liability, the produce of their farms becomes eligible
for the greatest two and three yearB old stakes in the world.
In stakes generally, according to the roles of racing, when-
ever a horse is sold with his engaeementB, the original nom-
inator continues to be liable for the whole slake, should bis
ttaDsferee default. ThiB fact tends to discourage breeder*
and owners from making heavy engagements, as the rule

applies to all races when no special provision is made to the
contrary.

Id these stakes, however, it is provided: "That, by filing
with the Coney Island Jockey Club an accepted trausfer of
the foal's entry, the original subsoriier will be released from
any liability as to the engagements of said entry, except aa
to the first forfeit of $25, leaving the purchaser liable for
the same unless duly struck out."

Thus the breeder, by availing himself of this clause, and
insisting that when he sells a colt a transfer be filed as
above provided, will avoid all liability beyond that of $25
in each case, and for even th;s $25 h only liable in case the.
party he sells to should default. If the colt be worthless, he
can strike him oat, pay S25, and end all liability,

The foal entries for the realizition of 1S92 closes Julv 15th
1889.

The Inaugural Realization, to be run July 2d of this year
will be worth over 340,000.

The First Futurity was worth over $46,000.

The Second Futurity, to be run at the coming fall meeting,
will be worth over $00,000.

Auction Sales-

We have received from Messrs. KilliD & Co. the catalogues
of two sales to be held at the Bvy District track. The first
sale will be held nest Friday (May 3rd) and the catalogue in-
cludes trotters, roa-lsters, workhorses and Shetlands. They
are the properity of Mr. J. B. Higgin, and it is superfluous to
say anything more after mentioning the name of the well-
known Kancho Del Paso breeder. The sale will take place
at 10 o'clock.

The second sale will take place on May 16th, and
consists of Galloway, Durham, Devon and Polled-Augus cat-
tle from the farm of the late Seth Cook, the well known
breeder and importer. Several of the entries were imported
from Scotland and have bebn procured at great expense;
others have been bronght from the Eastern States, and taken
altogether, such a collection of thoioughbred cattle has
hardly ever been Been in the State before, and all cattle
breeders should attend the sale and thus get a chance to
improve their herd swhile they have a chance.

Sale will take place at 11a. m.

There will be sold at auction at Menlo Park, on May 18tb,
several head of horse*, the property of Mr. F. H. Barke. Near-
ly all are well bred Normans, principally yearlings and two-
year-olds with several colts; two teams of rive to s eve n-j'e av-
oid heavy mares; well matched heavy grays equal to any
draught; and a three and two-year-old trotting horse. Car-
riages will meet the early trains, and in the morning all farming
implements will be offered, the horses being put up at 1 p. m.
A substantial collation will be spread on the grounds, and
every attention and courtesy will be shown intending pur-
chasers.

We published on the last page of our issue of the 20th, the
advertisement of Messrs. Briggs, Ferguson & Co., announcing
the immense sale of real estate to be held at Merced oo the
6th, 7th, 8th, 9.h. 10th and 11th uf May. Thi3 sale not ODly
by the length of time it is to last, but in the magnitude of
its offerings will beyond the s'.iadow of a doubt far eclipse
any sale ever held, not only in California but the United
States.

It is the plan of the promoters of the Canal and Irrigation
Co. to utilize their water largely for manufacturing purposes,
which can be done without any loss for irrigating purposes.
It is expected that by this advantage and the fact that the
railroad passes directly through the place, quite a manufac-
turing town will dp built up at Merced.

A number of centers for separate colony enterprises have
been laid out at points surrounding Merced, and at distances
varying from two or three to six or seven miles from the
town. There has already been quite an active inqniry for
lands in these colonies, which are being disposed of in
blocks of 10, 20 and 40 acres or more.

The varied advantages have formed the inducement which
has recently attracted so much attention to Merced, and
which has created such a desire to invest in town lots and
blocks at what muBt in the early future become an important
center of business for the large and industrious population
which will soon occupy the six or eight miles square or more
surrounding the present town.

When the intention of the promoters of these varied enter-
prises was made known through the newspaper notices,
advertisements, posters, etc., so great an interest was created
that what was at firBt expected to turn out only an ordinary
sale became the largest and most remunerative auction sale
which ever took place at any interior point in the State.
This was made possible from the fact that capitalists some
days before the Bale went to Mercad, looked over the country
carefully and satisfied themselves fully with regard to the
future possibilities and probabilities of that growing town-
The value of town lots and blocks were estimated by a care-
ful examination of the farms, colony tracts and other outside
lands in the surrounding country, for whioh there could be
no other possible business center than the present town of
Merced.

Much credit is due to the indefatigable energy and skill of
Briggs, Fergusson & Co., real estate agents of this city, who
have the sole charge of promoting and managing this impor-
tant Bale. Judicious advertising in honest and reliable
phraseB and through the medium of well known journals,
with straightforward and manfully fair dealings at the sale,
together with the intrinsic merits of the property, will lead
to a success which will more than double the results that have
been expected from the enterprise by those who were most
largely interested in the outcome. We under-tand that
Messrs. Briggs, Fergusson «fc Co. contemplate other impor-
tant sales in the near future, of which we shall from time to
time inform our readers.

Mr. B. F- Seitner Exonerated-

Mr. B. F. Seitner of Dayton, Ohio, has recently rested
under a charge of fraud made by Forest and Stream, which
if it had been proved, would have placed that gentleman
quite outside the pale of decency and honesty and would
have debarred him from the friendship of and association with
gentlemen everywhere. Forest and Stream charged Mr.
Seitner with having entered a pointer bitoh at the Philadel-
phia show in 18S5, in the puppy class, when he knew she
was over age. The charge was accompanied by a fac Bimile
reproduction of a letter by Mr. Seitner to B. F. Lewis, which
in the absence of explanation, gave color to the idea of fraud
in connection with the entry.

Mr. Seitner, Forest and Stream, and all parties concerned
were cited to appear before the Pointer Club of Atoerica, of
which Mr. Seitner is Vice-President, to be heard on the
charges. No testimony was offered that implicated Mr. Seit-
ner. Messrs. John S. Wise and Geo. W. La Rue, President
and Seoretary of the Pointer Club report as follows in sub-
stance:

"Mr. Seitner gives a version of that letter which is entirely
consistent with his innocence aud deprives it of any such
unfavorable construction as it might bear unexplained by
surrounding circumstances. His version is simple and in-
telligible. He states that meeting B. F. Lewis. at the Cincin-
nati Show early in May, he was induced to send bis three
dogs, Carrie included, to the Philadelphia Show which wns
to occur Mav 19th; that he made out his entry blanks in
Cincinnati and delivered them toLewia; that when he did
so his recollection of the date of Carrie's birth was that she
was whelped May 23, and therefore put her down when he
entered her May 8, as 1 1£ months; that after giving the entry
blanks to Lewis at Cincinnati he returned io his home.
That May 14 he wrote the letter in question to Lewis inclos-
ing entry money, etc , for his dogs; that after his ref urn home
on consulting his kennel book he discovered that Carrie wbb
whelped May 14, aud not May 24; that he enclosed an entry
blank for hflr tilled out correctly; that he had no copy of the
rules to inform him as to what date was fixed, up to which
to count the age of the dog, as a puppy or a grown dog; that
his first impression was that she would be barred as a puppy,
by reason of this discovery as to her age, and therefore could
not be shown, but that afterward it ocoured to him she might
be transferred to her proper class as a grown dog, having
been already entered, and that he decided to instruct Lewis
so to tran-fer her, instead of withdrawing her entirely; if she
stood a chance to win in the class to which she was eligible.

Whether she was or was not in fact barred, by reaEon of
her age, in the puppy class of said show, we do not know.
The A. K. C. rules did not exist in May, 1885, and we have
not been furnished with a copy of the rules under which the
Philadelphia Show of May, 1885, was held; but we do not
consider that question important in the view we take of the
the matter.

Mr. Seitner further states, and his statement on this point
as well as others stands uncontradicted, that after inclosing
this corrected blank to Lewis, he had no doubt, in the light
of the correct facts as to her a°e furnished by him to Lewis
five days before the opening of the show, that Lewis and the
authorities of the show would classify Carrie correctly, or
that if she was not eligible to the puppy clasa, and Lewis
thought her not lik ly to win in the class for grown dogs she
would be withdrawn altogether. He further states that when
the awards at said sbow were made, Lewis informed him by
telegraph that his other two doga had won, but made no al-
lusion to Carrie. This was plausible, as the two other dogs
won cash prizes and Carrie only a compliment. That after
that he could hear no more from Lewis, and that even to this
day his keunel book bears no entry of the V. H. C awarded
to said Carrie, corroborating his version of Lewis' neglect,
that no catalogue was Bent to him; that Lewis collected his
prizes, and that when he wrote to the secretary of the Phil-
adelphia Kennel Club requesting the club to pay him the
prizes on his other dogs, he informed him that the club recog-
nized Lewis as the party with whom they dealt, he holding
the identification blanks for said dog-*; that Lewis kept his
dogs for several weeks, returning them ultimately to him
from Chicago in bad condition and without further explana-
tion, and keeping the prizes, and that since then bad feeling
has existed between them.

This is the substance of Mr. Seitner's defense, aad there is
no testimony before us to gainsay one item of it. On the
contrary his version seems sustained by the letter published
in Forest aud Stream, in several particulars. That letter be-
gins "Inclosed entry money for my dogs, also entry blank
filled out correct." As dogs'were entered and only one blank
tilled oat correct, it is plain that prior communication had
been held between them, and that all was satisfactory as to
the other dogs. The dog as to which the corrected blank
was sent was evidently Carrie, for the next sentence tells what
is to be done with her, she being over age. The language
employed is not feliciious to convey the idea Mr. Seitner says
he had in his mind it is true, but it is by no means incon-
sistent with that idea and his explanation is perfectly satis-
factory to us as we think it will be to any impartial reader.

Prejudice might arif-e against tbis v< r-don of the matter by
Mr. Seitner, from the fact that be did not protest against the
award of V. H. C. to Carrie in the puppy class after it was
made, ween he referred to her in his letter as over age; bat
he lemoves tbis prejudice in our minda most effectually by
stating that he was not informed by Lewis tbat she did win
a; V. H. C; that he never received an catalogue or otht r in-
formation; that his ignorauce on tbis point is shown by fail-
ure to enter any Bnch award in her favor in his own kennel
book, and by the statement that the Philadelphia Kennel
Club when he wrote to them ab-mt ths prizes of which he
did know, refused to recognize him as the party to be dealt
with, and he held to the view that Lewis, holding the identi-
fication blanks, was the person with whom it would deal as
representative of these entries, We are satisfied in our own
minds that touching Carrie, Mr. Seitner did all he could to
make known her true age and have her properly classified.
That be furnished Lewis such data that he and the Philadel-
phia Keunel Club need not have made any mistake. That if
au" mistake was made it wbb not Mr. Seitner's fault. That
thti suggestion ia the letter of May 14, about transferring her,
frfl

was entirely consistent with honorable intention. "We do not
even now know that she was improperly left in the puppy
class, for reasons above given; bat if she was so improperly
left, it was in spite of Mr. Seitner and the information he fur-
nished in the corrected entry blank, and not by his procure-
ment or connivancb whoever e'se may have been to blame,
if anybody was.

Mr. Seitner is an utter stranger to the majority of us.
Several of our number have never seen him. We have no
knowledge of his personal character, and have not con-
sidered it outside the facts bearing on this particular charge.
It was our desire to hear and decide the matter upon all evi-
dence attainable, and do exaot and impartial justice to Mr.
Seitner, to the Pointer Club of America, to ourselves and to
the sportsmen of America, to whom this charge has been
heralded. We feel that in the conclusion arrived at by us
we have done right, and done by Mr. Seitner as he and every
other man who has a reputation at stake would be done by
under like circumstances.

We cannot forbear, in conclusion, from expressing our
regret tbat this publication should have been permitted,
accompanied by a charge of fraud, without some one to
avouch responsibility and produce testimony to sustain the
charge when it was investigated.

With these views, we are unanimonsly of opinion to acquit
Mr. Seitner of the charge of fraud made against him in the
Forest and Stream of March 7th, 1889, and to decline to
accapt the resignation of his office of Vice-President in this
club, tendered by him.

The following is taken from the mioutes of the meeting of
the Executive Committee of the Pointer Club of America,
held April 9th, 18S9:

"The Executive Committee of the Pointer Club of America
having this day assembled to investigate a charge of fraud
made in the Forest and Stream newspaper of March 7th,
1889, against B. F. Seitner. of Dayton, Ohio, claiming that
he won an award at the Philadelphia Bench Show in May,
1885. with a fraudulent entry of his pointer bitch, Carrie, in
puppy class 38, when he knew that she was over age, and
that her entry was consequantly a fraud. After having fully
investigated the matter the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:

"Resolved, That we are unanimously of the opinion, upon
the evidence submitted and for the reasons as stated in the
report accompanying this resolution, tbat B. F. Seitner is
not guilty a6 charged, and that Mr. Seitner's resignation us
an officer of the club be declined.

Hinta From an Old Angler-

Trout fishing has an importance out of all proportion to
the importance of the fish as an article of food. It is un-
donbtedly one of the finest of table fishes, but that alone
would not make it the game fish, par excellence, of all ang-
lers; though without this epicurean flavor trout fishing
would cease, for there must be at least an excuse for utility
in all pursuits oi pleasure. The angler who does not care for
the fish has the means of gratifying many friends, for a pres-
ent of a basket of mountain trout is the highest possible
favor.

Trout fishiug is reckoned among the most pleasant pas-
times of all civilized countries, where cooling Btreams of pure
water, with lakes formed by them, abound. Trout are the
natural denizens of wooded mountain streams. At least half
the pleasure of fishing arises from the fondness for the beau-
tiful scenery found in these places. If one doubts the gen-
eral consideration given to trout fishing, let him ramble
among the shops where trout gear is kept in stock. He will
find poles made of numerous pieces of costly wood, put to-
gether so as to have the least possible weight combined with
the greatest strength and elasticity, worth all the way from
five to fifty dollars. He will find lines braided of the finest
ailk and covered with elastic, waterproof enamel, which,
though almost as fine as a hair, will sustain a weight of fifty
pounds. He will find hooks of Damascus steel, rivaling a
cambric needle in sharpness of. point, polish and temper. He
will lind a hundred varieties of artificial flies of every con-
ceivable hue and shape, the result of a thousand trials as to
what is attractive and alluring. Numerous large establish-
ments, with thousands invested, are getting upthe finest pos-
sible outfits for this world-wide amusement.

It is true one may catch trout with a cheap hook, baited,
as an anglar would say, with a vile worm attached to a cotton
libe.'tied to a pole heavy enough to brain a bear. Trout in
an over Btocked stream will bite a piece of me it tied to a
string and suffer themselves to be dragged ashore, as Job
would say, by the skin of the teeth. Such sights may be
seen in any new country where the brooks remain untishe I.
Some years since a man in Mendocino county caught several
hundred in an hour in this way. the trout dropping from the
bait, without the trouble of removing a hook from their jaws.

But who can afford ti hunt these far-off brooks, where the
angler with his §50 outfit is never seen? Such Btreams are
for savages, or those who live on the border of civilization.

One may commence with an alder pole cat along the
banks of the stream, a linen line and a hook baited with a
worm. The heavy pole will tire his hands; it is awkward to
handle; he cannot throw the line where he wishes; he will
likely lose the largest fiBh, owing toils want of elasticity,
which enables the trout to tear loose from the hook, aud he
will eventually seek a light, elastic pole until, one trial suc-
ceeding another, he ends in desperation, and buys a split
bamboo, made of six pieces, bo spliced together that it will
hend like a Damascus sword, point to hilt, and fly back
unit jured.

A good pole, which in the hand of an expert will handle a
ten pound trout, will weigh lesB thau eight ounces. It must
have thimbles from the point to the reel, bo that a big fish
may run outajbuudred feet of fine Hue, else the fisher may
see the trout turn a contemptuous look on him as he parts
company with his taut line. He must carry biB line on a
reel, not only to let ajlarge trout have play, but to adjust its
length to every pool and riffle. Sometimes he wants a line

but a foot or two in leDgth, that he may pass it under brush,
and let it run out when it reaches running water, perhaps
twenty to fifty feet. If he hooks a trout in such a place he
must reel the line tip until he can land the fish at bis feet.
He must have a good line. A wary trout will run to his
hiding place at the first sight of a coarse string. Fine braided
silk, that will not twist or kink, is necessary. A good article
is hardly discernible at a distauoe of a few feet. Then, fine
as that is, it must be supplemented with a transparent
leader, made of the gland of a silk worm taken out when it
is ready to Bpin its cocoon and drawn to a tine thread. A
good angler muBt have five or six feet of this. Then there
are the hooks. There are dozens of patterns. Some have
long shanks, so as to be removed easily from the jaws of lhe
fish. Some anglers object to the long shanks, believing that
they prevent the hook from entering the jaw, preferring the
shorter shank, with the greater trouble of removing it, because
it is a *'sure catch." There is the Limerick, once famous,
and still much used, which has the merit of having the
point at a high angle with the opposite side of the hook. It
is undoubtedly the best form for bottom or still fishing.
Then there ia the hook with the point twisted out of line
with the bend. In any case a small, sharp and springy hook
is necessary for trout.

"What kind of flies did you say?" Well, now you have
entered the greatest field of uncertainty, for trout are nearly
omnivorous. They eat mosquitoes, gnats, millers, bugs,
worms, other fish, aud sometimes each other. When they are
in their best condition they are top feeders, living on insects
that play about the surface of the water, leaving the dead
things for the suckers and other inferior fish, that act as
scavengers of the streams. A man wants a large supply of
flies. The black gnat, red ant, professor, coach fly, white
and green miller are common and useful varieties, A good
angler will form some idea of the kind wanted by watching
the stream. A good plan is to carry along an assortment of
hair, silk, feathers, etc., and tie or make a fly indicated by
the stomachs of the trout, provided you can get one. If one
could make a grasshopper that would kick naturally it would
be the best thing in the world; but a dead grasshopper,
dragged along the snrface of the water, is no grasshopper at
all. The expert fly fisher endeavors to hook the fish simul-
taneously with the closing of the jaws, else the fish will spit
it out. This, however, requireBBO much tact and experience
that most amateurs put a small piece of worm on the point
to iuduce the trout to hold on until the requsite jerk can be
made.

Those wishing to learn trout fishing are advised to get some
old hand to go with them at first, to show them how to east
a fly lightly into the water, how to imitate the struggles of a
drowning insect, and where to throw it so as to come near the
lairs of the trout. Sometimes tbey are found watching under
a shelving rook or under a submerged log. When hungry
they usually seek food on a riffle or in swiftly running water,
but occasionally they may be found everywhere. Experience
will teach the likest places.

We will give a few plain rules for those who wish to
make their first experiments aloDe. Do not take a pole
that will lift over four ounces without bending to a quarter
circle, otherwise, in your excitement, you may tear the hook
out of the jaw. The writer has many times oaught fish
weighing less than a half pound with healed up broken jaws,
showing the work of an unskilled angler, Make yourself as
invisible as possible. Take advantage of every bush, rock,
log or depression, for a stalwart man tramping along the
banks of a creek will Bend every sensible trout to his hiding
place. In the middle of the stream, among the trout, is bet-
ter than on a high bank. Do not fill your basket with baby
trout. It is small amusement to catch little trout, that with
a sort of appeal for care, flock around you to be fed. Put
nothing in your basket less than six inches long. No skill is
required to capture babies of any kind; it is murder of the
innocents. If yon have no objeot in fishing but to fill
your stomach, work on the road lor fifty cents a day and pay
the fish peddler ten of that for a mes3 of herring or suckers.
Don't go trout fishing at all unless you have a love for the
woods, rocks, clear running streams, and waterfalls fre-
quented by this noblest of all the b'nny tribe.

The writer hoped to give a brief account of some of the
Los Gatos anglers and their methods of fishing, but must
defer it to another time. J. D. M,

The Trouts of American Waters.

Although the trouts, popularly so called in America, all
belong to the salmon family and are grouped together ich-
thyologically under the head" of Salmonidce, tbey are not all
salmons, pays that competent authority, Mr. W. C. Harris.
The classification name of charr {Salvelinus) has been given
to most of them. Our speckled trout of the East is a charr,
so is the lake trout, the blue-back trout of the Rangeleys
the other so-called varieties of red spotted trout found in
New England waters, and the saibling of Germany, recently
introduced. In the WeBt the pame, classification applies to
the Dolly Varden trout and also to several imperfectly known
speoies of Arctic America and of Greenland. Of the true
Balmon trouts {Salmo) we have no representatives iu the East
except those lately introduced, the rainbow, Lock Leven and
the German or brown trout, the latter particularly bidding
fair to become an acclimatized and exceptionally populat
game fish. In the West they have several species of the true
salmon trouts, viz: The rainbow, the steel head, Rio Grande
and black-spotted or cut-throat trout, with its several imper-
feotly described forms, known ichthyologically and locally as
the Lake Tahoe, Waha Lake and Kansas River trouts. Thus
it will be seen that the angling tourist, in his trout outing,
has graod opportunities to indulge io his favorite pastime'
and although his intelligence usually keeps fairly abreast
with his enthusiasm, he may he t*adly adrift in determining
at Bight the generic character of the trout which he bus just
basketed after much pleasure tTod excitement. We will
endeavor to make the matter plain to him.

In the salmon trouts teeth will be found on the body of
the vomer, as wt 11 as ou its head; in the charrs teeth are
found orily on the head of the vomer. Hence, if an angler
is in doubt bb to the proper generic status of his troot, he
has only to put his finger into its mouth and if a siogle or
double series of teeth are found oo the front part of the roof
of the mouth, he holds in his hand a salmon trout; if only a
single patob of teeth ocour in the rear and on the roof he
has a charr under inspection.

In this connection, and purely from an angler's standpoint,
we feel constrained to protest against a tendency to mnliiply
species and the scientific names of our native trouts (charrs),
bb recently exhibited through the columns of journals devoted
to popular science. We were told, years ago, that modern
ichthyologists aimed to be more exact in their methods, par-
ticularlv in recognizing new forms, .and we are aware that
they rejected, within the last decade, maDy of thoae accepted
as new by the former ichthyologists. The anglers of the
country understand thoroughly how difficult it is to obtain

recognition when they offer a new species to the fish savants,
a species which to the observant and loving eye of the angler
presents striking variations in color and habits from those
of the parent form (vide the sea tront and the mascalonge of
the Mississippi system). They are told that the rigid ich-
thyic law of anatomical identity bars a new classification,
and they surrender as gracefully as the circumstances and
their disappointm nt permit; and, yet within a year we have
been introduced to two species of cbarrs as native to New
EDgland waters, one said to be new and the other accepted
as a new form, although baptized years ago, but excluded as
such from the official publications of the United. States FiBh
Commission and the Smithsonian Institution. The two
species are said to difEer as a rule from the typical tish (the
common brook trout) in the presenae of teeth on the root of
the tongue (hyoid bone), when the absence (not persistent)
of these teeth in the brook trout is acknowledged to be simply
a departure, with exceptions, from the original type. Col-
oration also, usually a non-factor in classification, seems to
be potent in this new one. Gunther, when referring to the
SAlmon family, uses the following language:

"We know of no other group of fishes which offers so many
difficulties to the ichthyologist with regard to the distinct on
of the species, as well bb to certain points in their life-hiatory.
Although this may be partly due to the unusual attention
which has been (riven to their study, it has revealed rather a
greater amount of unexplained fact than a satisfactory solu-
tion of the qesutions raised. The almost infinite variations
of these fishes are dependent upon the age, sex and sexual
development, food aud properties of the water."

But to the subject germane — the trouts of America — from
the angling standpoint.

Prominent among the trouts which the anglers of the coun-
try prize as a quarry is the brook trout — fontmalis. It is a
cbarr, and the most beautiful of our fresh water fauna, the
more so from the mantle of rose and violet which he wears,
the mellow diffusion of which, from gills to base of caudal, at
once suggests the descrip'ive phrase so often heard from the
angler— "the bloom of the trout." Nor is our admiration
lessened as we examine his clipper-built form, the bright
vermilliou dotlets with their dark blue areolae, the strength
aod symmetry of his paired fins and the broad sweep of his
propeller-like tail, and when we have him hard and fast upon
a barbed hook ani a springing rod, we cannot fail to appre-
ciate hiB knightly qualities, his sturdy resistance and keen
intelligence. Heiafouodin the streams flowing north into
the Arctic Ocean as far west as Victoria Land; ranging north
and westward to the tributaries of the Great Lakes, and as
far south an the southern spur of the Georgia Alleghanies;
also occurs near the sources of some of the rivers flowing into
the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.

The brook trout (fon'inalis) may be identified by its mot-
tled body, and, if caught in Pennsylvania and southward, by
the absence of teeth on the root of the tongue. In those of
Northern New York, New England and of CaDada, these teeth
are sometimes present, but they are thinly distributed and
feebly developed.
As this paper is only intended for a brief description of

the cbarrs and salmon trouts of American waters, and to
suggest the simplest methods of identifying species, we now
pass on to the namaycush or lake trout, another charr, whose
range of habitat is extended, being found in the Great Lakes
system and in smaller lakes in our Northern States and in
British America, and as far northwest as Alaska. It is readily
identified by the raised crest on the roof of the mouth,
which extends backward and terminates free from and par-
allel wich the vomer. (The vomer in fishes is the front part
of the roof of the mouth, a bone lying immediately behind
the bones forming the front of the upper jaws.) Several
varieties of lake trout have been described, but none of them,
except the siscowet of Lake Superior, has been dignified with
a varietal classification by naturalists, among whom Pro-
fesBor Jordan believes it to be a local variety rathor than a
distinct species.

The Oquassa or blue-back trout is one of the most interest-
ing of the Eastern charrs. Its habitat is confined to Moose-
lucfcmaguntic Lake in Maine, and, as it has not been found
elsewhere, there is but little likelihood that the angler will
mistake it for another species However, it is well to note
that it seldom, if ever, exceeds ten inches in length, and that
a blnish tint covers the entire back from head to tail, the
latter being well forked.

Another charr, the Greenland trout, whieh Professor Bean
believes to be the sea trout of Canada and of Labrador, is
found in Arctic America. Of this charr Professor Goode
naively and generously writes: "It is interesting to know that
the anglers have probably been in the right and the ichthyo-
logists wrong in regard to this interesting species, concerning
which, as yet, we know but little." In explanation it may
be slated that Mr. Charles Hallock and other anglers have
believed the sea trout of Canada to be a distinct species from
thu brook (fontinalis), an assertion disputed by ichthyologists
until Professor Goode issued his admirable work— "Ameri-
can Fishes." Should any one of our angling readers take an
outing in the extreme North to Greenland or Boothia Felix,
he will know this trout by its well-forked tail, high doraal
fin {higher than broad), and by its pectoral fins reaching more
than half way back to the ventrals. He will be careful, how-
ever, in his physical diagnosis, as there are several other
species of similar habitat with allied but distinct character-
istics.

In addition to the above charr we have in the English, also
in the State of "Wisconsin, the saibling, introduced from Ger-
man waters Some 60,000 eggs were dispoBitM in 1887 by
the United States Fish Commission in Lake WinnipeBaukee,
N. H.. and perhapB Col. Hodge, the editor of the Fish Cul-
ture Department of The Angler, will give us the peculiar
markings of the fish and a report of their condition at the
present time.

West of the Rocky Mountain range, the "Dolly Varden" or
malma trout ip the only representative of the cbarrs, except,
possibly, the namayemh or lake trout, which Professor
Goode reports as having been found to Knowall river,
Alaska. , As the malma, also called "bull trout," is the only
red-spotted trout as yet discovered on the Pacific slope, it
will be readily identified.

As before stated we have no native salmon trouts in onr
eastern waters, and only one that is of American origin— the
rainbow— Salmo irideus. This Bpecies has been introduced
from the Pacific slope, where its habitat extends from near
the Mexican border to Oregon. When caught by the eastern
angler it will probably be in waters where the brook trout
is found, and it will be easily distinguished from them by a
lateral band more or less reddish, which is said by Jordan to
occur in the males only; if this is bo, our own rod has dealt
entirely with the gentler sex of this specieB. However the
aneler cannot be at a loss in identifying the rainbow, owing
to its black spots. If he should he fo fortunate as to'hook a
German or brown trout, or a Lock Leven trout, both of
which are salmon trouts (Salmo) aod have lately been intro-
duced to American waters, he will know the first (German
trout) from its almost perfectly square tail, looking as if cut
in a direct line by a knife. The back is of a dark green color
covered with well-defined black spots; above and below the
lateral line the red spots set in pale blue areola; appear. The
Lock Leven trout have no red spots, and its flesh is said to
be always of a deep red color.

The most widely known to anglers of the western salmon
trouts is the black spotted or Rocky Mountain trout, which
has almost as many aliases as it has ravs in its dorsal fin
Besides the two above named it is also called the salmon
trout of the Columbia, Yellowstone trout, labetroot silver
trout, and cot-tbroat trout. The latter name, given to it by
Mr. Charles Hallock, although repulsive, and without any
right of priority, will probably cling to it, as it indicates a
striking physical peculiarity of the fish— a red blotch or
rather a slash, of crimson on the lower j*ws. This charac-
teristic marking may possibly be also fouod on the Walia
Lake, KanBas River and Lake Tahoe trouts, as Professor
Jordan classifies them as simply variations from the pnrent
form, the oat-throat trout (Salmo purpuralm). The nm'es of
\ this fish ars said to have a lateral band, but when present it
is of a much lighter color than that of the rainbnw trout
"We have caught many hundreds of the cm-throat
Yellowstone and Gallatin rivers of Montana
meet with a fish showing this lateral marking.'

The Rio Grande trout (Salmo tpilurus) &n<i its twin
brother (pleuriticus) are found in the headwaters of the Rio
Grande and Colorado rivers, and probably exist in all ihe
mountain streams of Utah. The most striking features (f
thii fish are: Its very large month, the usual convexity of
the head, and the profusion of black spots, which are nin«t
numerous posteriorly, especially on the adipose aud foil fins
The fact of the angle of the month being placed far hack ».f
the eye may serve the angler for purposes of identification
as it has the largest mouth in proportion to size of anv of
the salmon trouts of the West. J

DESCRIPTION.

JUDOE McKINSTRY is a bright hay with black
points, liiJi hands in height, of a conformation com-
bining power and speed. Uis breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both side s being
noted for their gameness and fleetness. Speakin of
JUDGE McKINsTRY. Watt Storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horrie I ever saw
onthe Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that waB ahead of tbe present record." He
was startsd in several races when not in condition to
ruu, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well kn»wn to
need repetition here. Good judges of horses st.te pos-
itively- that there can be no doubt of bis sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us to
name both sires.

Terms: 875 payable when the mare is moved from
ranch, or, $100, with the usual privilege. Good pastur-
age, J3 per month. Mares at owners risk. All com-

Alexander Button.

Alexander's Record, 9:31 1-4:

• DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button 1b a dark hay with fine flowing
mane and tail; stands 15-3^ hands high; weighs
1,200 pounds, and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old. he made n record of 2:28^, and when
four years old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of2:26J£. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and haB been drive" a last half in 1:0 .
Alexander Butt«n is a natural trotter, inherited
throogh the speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
hiB speed to his offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet — carrying the world's record of 2:14.
RoBle Mc, as a five-year-old.rarely ever breaks; has
a record of 2;20&'. R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2 :16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2:16 to 2:20. Considering
that Al-xander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, he is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in tbe State.

son of Lexington. ___ „„ , .,

Second dam bv BILLY CHEATHAM.

Third dam by DORSET'S GOLDDTJST.

GROVERC.iea very handsome shade of bay, 1SV
hands high.and showing as much quality as a majority
of thoroughbreds. He is as square-gai.ed a trotter as
can be, and has shown a great deal of Bpeed for the
amount of handling. Has been worked very little,
though he can show a thirty gait or better whenever
caned upon. ^^

Fifty dollars the season, payable at time of service.
Proper care will be taken, but no responsibility in-
currel for accidents or escapes. Mares will be pas-
tured inBide of the Oaklanu Trotting Park, which is
espeeial'y safe, having two fences which give ample
securily against escape. There is a never-falling
stream of water which runs through the field, and the
food is good.

Season commencing first of January and ending the
first of July.

This is the onlv son of Electioneer standing in Ala-
meda County, and tbe high breedinE on the side of his
dam is a guarantee that his colta will inherit qualities
already made famous through tbe mixture of Elec-
tioneer and Lexington blood. Ansel, 2:20, Ib from a
Lexington mare, and Sunol'e granddam, two-year-ola
record 2:18, was by Lexington, both Sunol and Ansel

ACIKTE,
The Property of the HON. LELAND STANFORD.

We have great pleasure in presenting our subscribers thia
week with a likeness, Palo Alto's much vaunted two-year-old.
He is as his piclure shows, a splendid example of a thorough-
bred, his color is light bay with black legs, his conformation
and general proportion is admirable. He has a very in-
telligent bloodlike head, well set on a lean muscular neck
with good sloping shoulders, withers running well back, a
strong short coupling and wonderfully good hind quarters
rather drooping but better for it; wide hips, long powerful
(Hifles and lower thighs, with nice clean hocks, particularly
short cannon bones, good pasterns and splendid feet; his
forelegs look like lasting, being wiry and sinewy, with good
bi£ fiat knees, and all over he is as sound as a bell and as
pretty as a pink.

Racine's breeding is exceptionally fine. His Bire Bishop
is by Shannon (Monday) dam Bettie Bishop by Buckden
imp. His dam imported Fairy Rose is by Kisber, 1st dam
Hippolyta by King Tom, 2od dam Daughter of the Star by
Kremlin, third dam Evening Star by Touchstone, 4th dam
Bertha by Rubens, 7th and 14th dams are by Arabians.

When looked into carefully and critically, this is a truly
regal racing pedigree, for Shannon is full brother to Mollie
McCarty, being out of old Hennie Farrow. Baokden is a
grandson of the mighty Newminster, the most valuable blood
in the world, while Kisber (a Derby winner) was bred in
Hungary, being a son of Buccaneer and Mineral (by Rata-
plan dam Manganese by Bird Catcher) and then to back up
the pedigree there is a King Tom and Touchstone cross with
Beriha for a fourth dam and a better one no man could
wish for.

Senator Standford, the owner and breeder of Racine, is
rapidly proving that in raciDg as well as trotting, if careful
attention is given to choosing a suitable cross, success is al-
most sure, and in Racine he has a colt who in time is bound
to make a successful racing season and ought afterwards to
prove one of the best sires in America.

Henry WalBh deserves every credit for the careful prepara-
tion and beautiful condition in which he sent his colt to the
post in all of his engagements. He has faced the starter five
times, winning on four occasions and when beaten at San
Jose in his first race it was palpable that he would have won
had it not been for his rnn away in a false start. Hereafter
the So So Stakes will be called the Racine Stnke, as he cut
down the time of So So by half a second, making the three-
quarters in 1:14:}, which is remarkably fast time for n two-
year-old in the spring of the year.

Blood Horse Association-

FOURTH DAY.

Officers of the day-Judges, M. F. Tarpey. J. C. Wolfskill
and C. W. Aby. Timers, O. A. Hickok, Christopher Green
and R. T. Carroll. Clerk of course, Marry Lowden.

Saturday afternoon always eeeB a larger attendance at the
track than any other day of the week, yet notwithstanding
the programme was a weak one, over thirteen hundred per-
sons paid for admission. The weather was of the beBt, the
raciDg more than passible, the starting very much improved
on, the bookmakers happy, because not a favorite wod, and
the "long shot" folks pleased when they chanced to have
winning cards. The restaurant, now run by the manage-
ment, is a boon to the public, and is well patronized by those
who enjoy a first-class meal.

The first race of the day called out the youngsters, and as
Palo Alto had an entry, it was naturally well supported in
the betting, although the decided favorite was King Hooker,
a chestnut colt owned by the Volcano Stable. It may just be
possible that he has lately shown a fast trial, but most assur-
edly his performance on the opening day of -the meeting did
not warrant his being made first choice on Saturday last, and
that he was in no better form on the fourth than on the first
day was proven by the easy manner in which he was beateD.

The field got away after several false starts, with Atalanta
in the lead, closely followed by Alice and Muta. When but
a few strides away from the starter. Marigold evidently
stumbled, and it was all the lad could do to kpep her on her
feet, when she finally recovered and set sail for the balance;
they were fully tifteen feet to the good. At the first turn
Atalanta "was live lengths in the van, with the race at her
mercy, for she was held well in hand, and had plenty of
reserve speed. At the middle of the turn Muta was sent with
a slight rush, but she had not the power to cope with the
Santa Anita filly. Of the rear division only one made an
effort to catch up, and that was Marigold, who made the last
five-eighths in 1:02. As the wire was reached, Atalanta was
the first to pass under, two leugths'in advance of Muta, with
Marigold two lengths further behind.

Book odds: King Hooker a to 5, Muta and Atalanta 4 to 1, Mirope 6
to 1, Marigold and Alice 15 to 1.

The Resaca Stakes was the means of bringing out half a
dozen three-year-old fillies, Picnic being the only one on the
card who did not start. Songstress, of the Shippee Btable,
had the call in the betting, and from her looks in the pad-
dock, seemed fit to run for a man's life. Faustine, the sec-
ond choice, was also in splendid fettle, but the favorite among
the ladies was the unfortunate Glen Ellen, unfortunate
because sbe has run many game races this season, but in
company always a little too good for her. She is a delicate
creaiare, but if brackets are not earned by her before long, it
will be a wonder. Alfarata evidently has a temper of her
own, for Bhe was very unruly at the post, and tried several
times to kick Faustine, against whom she seemed to have a
spite. Bessie Shannon and Aiaho have not had work enough,
bat are both on the improving order.

After a little delay toe flag fell to a good start, Aiaho and
Glen Ellen leading, which was kept to the quarter, where
Alfarata came very quickly and joined Glen Ellen, Aiaho fall-
ing back. The two leaders now made a gallant showing,
going up the back-stretch neck and neck. At the half-mile
pole Morton on Faustine moved the mare up a peg, "Winchell
on Songstress doing likewise. At the middle of the turn the
four were head and head, presenting a pretty spectacle, Aiaho
coming on behind as a sort of rear guard. Turning into the
Btretch FauBtine had the best of the going, and drew away,
with Songstress on her girth, but the Palo Alto entry had
plenty of go in her, and won handily by three lengths, Song-
stress second, Aiaho third.

What aie called "Owners' handicaps," usually brings out
a large field, but the handicap lot were mosjly entered in the
$600 purse, so only six came to the post in the third race,
and at weights that should have made them all winners,
except Duke Spencer, whose owner asked the bay colt to
carry more than he should have done. Somehow Keward is
a disappointment, for if ever a horse gave promise of being
a world beater in speed he ib that horse. Reward is a typical
thoroughbred, not unlike old Tenbroeck in conformation,
with the same great long reaching stride, that carried the
record breaker on to victory so many times, but in the case
of Reward there is something that prevents him getting to
the wire first, and what that something is no one seems to
know. It should not be a surprise if he won a good race,
in first claBB time, and that before long, if he is properly
handled. Kildare looked the race horse all over, and glad-
dened the hearts of his backers by winning easily. Mozart
was again the great tip, although on public form Joe Hoge
had a strong backing, and he warranted it, for althoogh he
could not beat Kildare, he made a good run for second place.
Reward and Kildare had a little the benefit of the flag when
it fell, but the deceptive stride of Reward did him bnt little
good, for Kilnare soon passed him and was leading by five
full lengths wheu the three-quarters was reached. At that
point Joe Hoge was given his head, but he was not fleet of
foot enough to catch the diminutive Irish named horse who
won in a canter by two lengths from Hoge, Mozart third.

The fourth race was noticeable from the large amount of
money wagered, and also from the fact that Al Farrow was
again going to start, the race at San Jose and the story of
his bemg pulled on the first day of the meeting, nwking him
a somewhat notorious individual. He sold in the pools at
the same price that the couple of Kelly and Samuel6[brought,
but in the book betting he was favorite at 8 to 5. As the
horse passed the wire on the first time around, "Welcome was
leadiDg Farrow by a length, the latter h'eld well in hand, the
balance of the field bunched two lengths in the rear. Around
the turn and down the back stretch the positions were not
changed, except that White Cloud came away from the ruck
and made play for the leaders, McGinnis being ten lengths iD
the rear. The pace was too much for the pinto and he fell
back, McGinnis moving slowly up. Around the turn and
into the homestretch Welcome still lead, Farrow catching her
at the last eighth, McGinnis coming down close to the rail
at great speed. Farrow passed Welcome, but oould not keep
up the pace, and McGinnis coming strong beat him out by
two lengths, Welcome being third. The rider of Welcome
made a complaint to the judges that Jockey Tompkins on
Al Farrow had fouled the mare, the objection being sustained,
and Farrow was relegated to laBt place, Laura Gardner get-
ting third place. ,

The fifth and last race of the day was a special handicap at
seven furlongs, in which Tom Daly, a northern importation^
was made favorite at S to 5. Lady Helen and Nerva were
the next two choices, although Ito received more or leBS sup-
port. When the flag fell Hello was the first away, Ito and
Bessie Shannon close up. At the half Ito was in the lead,
but the black could not keep the position, being quickly sup-
planted by Bessie Shannon, Viente and Hello. As they
turned into the home stretch Hello was sent forward with a
rare burst of Bpeed, and quickly led his field, Tom Daly
pressing him hard, but without effect, as he won by hah: a
length, Daly second and Viente third.

FIFTH DAY.

Officers of the day: Judges, Messrs. Tarpey, Thornton,
Walsh, Finigan and Dustin; timers, Messrs. Hickok, Carrol
and Titus; clerk of course, Harry Lowden.

When the original programme was issued by the associa-
tion, only four days racing wore announced, but from the
great interest manifested, an extra day was deemed not out
of order, so the Centennial Inaugural day was added to the
list, and a tirst class card arranged for the day. The great
attractions in the city, it was thought by some, would keep
the crowd away, but on the contrary, the largest gate re-
ceipt of the meeting was taken on Tuesday, which goes to
prove that the public will support honest racing at any time,
and just here it will not be out of place to say a good word
for the Directors, who have given so much of their time, that
all other business has had to be neglected, that the meeting
might be a success. To a man, they have worked day and
night, allowing nothing to go undone that would add to the
comfort and pleasure of their patrons; races have been
watched olosely that no jobbery might be attempted and
while at times the ruling of the jodges may have seemed
harsh to those interested, still the general public are satisfied
that honest racing can be had in San Francisco, when held
under the auspices of this association. The meeting has
been a financial success and it is generally understood that
at the Fall Meeting this year, the purses will be larger and
the entries undoubtedly larger, as it is not the desire of the
members of the association to make a profit but simply give
good honest racing in the interest of the public who patron-
ize, and have a love for the King of Sports.

A selling race was the opening attraction of the day for
which there were five entries, four of the starters being old
timers and well known by past performances, the only one
who was not known to have any speed being Capt. Hobbs'
bay colt Duke Spencer. He has started several times but
never distinguished himself, and consequently went begging
in the books at 10 to 1. When the flag fell Black Pilot was
in the lead with Jon Jou and Lady Helen fighting for place,
in which the old gelding came off best as before the wire was
reached the first time he was in the lead, Black Pilot a shade
better than Lady Helen. No change occured until the half
was reached, where Pilot fell back and Dake Spencer took
third place, Bosa LewiB also improved her position and vmy
soon displaced Spencer. At the turn Murphy got another
move on Spencer, the latter taking the bit between his teeth
and made a runaway race of it, the boy not being able to
hold him in. As the balance of the field turned into the
stretch, Spencer was so far ahead that the contest was vir-
tually over, he coming under the wire at least four lengths
in advance of Black Pilot, who was two lengths ahead of
Jou Jou.

The Try Again Stakes brought out four of the two-year-
old division, but by common consent before they started the
race was "all over barring the Bhoutiog," Goido first, Reata
second, being the universal tip. Florilla was the first to
show in front, with Guido at her girth, the two contesting
every foot of the way, but the pace cut out by Mr. Tapper's
colt was too much for the Santa Anita filly and she quit at
the first turn, where Guido had a full length of daylight
between him and the second horse. In the middle of the
turn Casfiy came with a rush on Reata and a furlong from
the wire passtd Florilla, but was only second to Goido who
won by bSx lengths.

In honor of the day, the next stake was called the "In-
augural," for three-year olds, and four of that age came to the
post. In the betting Geoffrey, the Palo Alto entry, was a
strong favorite, with Flood Tide second choice. The start
was a good one, Flood Tide and Joe Hoge being away first,
with Geoffrey in close company. Geoffrey passed Hoge at
the turn, and had a battle royal with Flood Tide, the others
so far behind that they were really out of the right. The two
leaders went at it hammer and tongs, reaching the half, nose
and noBe in 53 seconds. Around the turn and into the home-
stretch they came as a team, not a particle of difference
between them; as they came under the wire, from the report-
ers stand, it looked as though Geoffrey won by a short nose,
but the judges announced it a dead heat, at which a great
shout of approbation rose from the thousands present.

The judges asked the owners what they would do, divide
or ruu it off, and the latter alternative was chosen, bo it was
ordered that the two game sods of Flood should decide the
question of BUpremaoy, after the last race on the card was
run off.

The Owners Handicap gave Al Farrow, Ed. McGinnis,
"White Cloud, Alabo and Geraldioe, a chance to show their
speed. ThiB was probably the greatest betting race of the
meeting, as the followers of Geraldine and Al Farrow were
both convinced their respective favorites could win conse-
quently the gold fairly Bhowered into the bookmakers boxes
while the adherents of old White Cloud and Ed. McGinnis al-
so backed their choices liberally. The race was one mile, Mr.
Meagher relegating his position as starter to Henry w'alshl
notwithstanding thftt, a San Francisco daily^paper states to the
contrary, and uses the following language. "The starting at
the Bay District Track yesterday was something execrable.
Captain T. F. Meagher's honesty is not questioned, but as a
starter he haB been a signal failure all through the meeting.
The utter incompetency of the starter in handling the flag
was never more fully demonstrated than yesterday, aud the
beat thing the Blood Horse Association can do is to import a
good starter from the East, if the place cannot be filled in
California; else the Fall meeting of the Association will re-
ceive but faint support for local owners. Take for example,
the start in the Geraldine race. To leave Ed. McGinnis at
the post, the way he was, was — to put it mildly — a downright
fi.ching of the money outof the pockets of those who had
wagered on his chances. :'

The above is strong language to use, but as everyone was I
aware of the change, except the reporter who wrote the *
above, T. F. Meagher will not suffer from the screed es-
pecially as the worst starts were made when he was not'act-
ing as starter.

"When the flag fell Geraldine rushed to the front. White
Cloud and Al Furrow beiDg Becond and third, while McGinnis
was virtually left at the post, at any rate getting such a bad
send off that he was never in the hnnt. Jockey Hart on
Geraldine evidently thought he was going to have a very hard
race, for he set off at a terrific speed going the tirst Quarter
in 23 seconds, here he pulled up a little, but even with the
let up in the mnning, the mare reached the half;mile pole id
48 seconds, White Cluud in second place, Al Farrow third,
and not running at all like the Al Farrow of old. "Gerry ''T
as she fs familiary called in the stable, had things all her
own way and came under the wire two lengths to the good,
without either the use of whip or spur in the remarkably fast
time of 1:40J. The performance stamps the mare as being
one of the fastest animals in the world, for when coupled
with the San Jose mile, it is easily seen that the first per-
formance was no fluke, and it was evident to all present on
Tuesday, if the mare had had a good runner up Tenbroeck's
record would have been in danger.

The last event on the card was a Special Handicap of six
furlongs for a purse of $250, and haB nine starters, the Ore-
gon horse Tom Daly being considered a sure winner but as
"the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglie " so it
was in this race, a rank outsider won easily, no one dream-
ing for a moment that Bessie Shannon could win. At the
Btart the imported horse Hearst took the lead and out out
the pace, Edwin F. following cloBely on his flank. At the
half mile post it looked as though the Australian was going to
have things all hiB own way, and he kept the lead until the
last farlongpost wasjpassed when he qui', Bessie Shannon aLd
Hello coming out of the ruck, making a game tight for the
last sixteeenth, but the mare outlasted the horse and woo by
a head, Longshot a good third. It afterwards tranepired
that Hearst was badly buck-shinned and had been blistered
but a short time before, which accounted for his shutting up.

Immediately on the termination of the proceeding race, a
rosh wasfimadejforjthe ;betting ring, as the dead heat be-
tween Geoffrey and Flood Tide was to be run off. The odds
varied in different books, but averaged about 2 to 5 Geoffrey
6 to 5 Flood Tide. When the flag fell the Maltese Villa en-
try rushed off in the lead and Rot a length ahead, and on
the back stretch increased the lead by another length On

the furlong post to the wire, neither being able to gain an
advantage. As the p.ur passed the judges' stand a shont went
np from the crowd and cries of "another dead heat" was
heard on all sides. When the judges gave their decision it
was in favor of Geoffrey, although this time from the re-
porter's stand, it looked as though they passed under the
wire exactly even. Time, 1:57£-. Thus closed one of the
most successful meetings ever held by the association and if
all accounts are true there will be such a programme pre-
sented to the public this fall, that aJl former efforts will be
outdone.

Missionaries and Breeders-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman; — The caption may seem
awkward to some, and to others offensive; but after due
consideration of the Burgect these will discern that the ahso-
ciation of the two classes is appropriate and mutually com-
mendatory. The main study and object of (he missionary,
in temporal concerns, is to redeem savage and cruel natures
to humane conduct, to kindly feelings and actions. The
missionary strives to teach and to instill into the nature of
the unreclaimed barbarian the lessons of wholesome civiliza-
tion and the examples of bettered humanity. In these are in-
cluded man and beast. The savage who tortures or butchers
the viotim of his brutality and passion, or thirst uf blood, is
worse only in degree, but not in kind, than the civilized man
who is cruel to the domestic beasts which are subject to
his temper and rage. Each is possessed of similar barbarian
and brutal nature, and each gratities his passion or satiates
his Bavagery to the measure of his opportunity, according to
the methods of his tribe or the habits of his class and the
license he is permitted. The true missionary labors to re-
claim the heathen from this savagery, and to lead to refor-
mation the low and vicious who live in enlightened commun-
ities. 'To do this more effectually in the case of the heathen
he endeavors first to inculcate the lessons of Christianity and
implant spiritual instruction. But to bring men of every
race and every class to works of humanity, to good, kind
Bpirit and gentle conduct, is the chief object of the mission-
ary in the practical field of his christianizing labors.

It is an axiorn that the man who is humane and kind to
his beast is good in other qualities — to his family, to his
neighbor, an i in community. In this respect the good and
humane breeder of his stock, of the domestic animals useful
to mankind, worthily ranks with the missionary. As the
purpose of this article is with regard to the care and treat-
ment of horses, this nobleat of the brute creation will be
adapted in the consideration of the subject to embrace all.

It was the pithy remark of an observant and shrewd old
English breeder and turfman, after he had witnessed the
extraordinary and successful methods of John Rarev, the
noted American trainer of horses in England, "1*11 tell you
what I think of it. What is wanted is good men to train our
grooms, so that they will know how to train our horses." In
many of the States are laws and societies for the protection
of dumb animals from the cruelty of man. Henry Bergh
wrought great reformation by his ceaseless vigilance, his
exemplary prosecution of the l.atf against offenders. But
that species of legislation and punishment strikes at the top.
At the root is the place to make connection. Instead of
penal laws to tit the offence, there should be adopted the
means to eradicate the evil. As with every reform, to begin
at the beginning is the only effective mode. Teach those to
whom the training of horses is committed that gentleness,
patience and firmness are essenti-1 to observe in the care and
handling of the animal, and impress it upon them that rough
treatment and frequent recourse to the whip will not be tol-
erated and their selfish regard for hire and employment will
bring them to compliance.

Barey and Rockwell and other successful horse trainers
employed only gentle and patient but resolute methods in
bringing under complete subjection and to recognition of
their mastery the most vicious horses, such as the English
Croiser and the Norman stallion Cognac, each having been
wrought to excesses of brute savagery by ignorant, reckless
and brutal training and handling. These horses had been
fairly docile and gentle as colts, but brutish handling had so
perverted their nature that each became actually dangerous.
and each had torn grooms to death. By the intelligent,
Btudio-js, gentle and firm methods of Karey, Cruiser was re-
claimed to thorough docility, and a follower of his system to
whom Cognac was given in charge very nearly reclaimed that
terror of the stud.

Horses the same as human beings possess their order of
intelligence, which rises higher through blood, breeding, sur-
roundings and situations. The heathen savage marks the
lowest type of mankind; the thoroughbred exemplifies the
highest type in the equine kingdom. The missionary who
should go among heathen savages to convert them to Chris-
tianity, and practice toward them forcible methods, with the
discipline of angry Bpeech and the whip would have only
himself to blame for the resultant torturies and violent death,
and the missionaries who succeeded him would find their
pious efforts much marred or utterly unavailing on account
of his most unwise and exasperating methods of implanting
Christian precepts and practices.

Similar consequences follow in the case of horses. Ignorant
and brutal trainers affect the colt, as unfit and cruel school
teachers affect the pupil. The boy of spirit, mettle and pluck
will not submit to the rod, and the abase of it subdues the
yielding lad of genile nature to the submissive condition of
the craven. The high bred colt subjective to the mastery of
a careless, inconsiderate, passionate and inhuman trainer is
thereby spoiled in disposition and action. The horse dis-
covers his feeling toward his groom or owner, agreeably as
he is used or abused by either, quite aB human species reveal
and denote the similar quality. The beat breeding and the
higher intelligence are readily discernable to the practiced
observer. The manner of training and handling the animal
is made apparent by its look and action. Good trainers can
be secured. It is difficult to replace a valuable horse hope-
lessly spoiled by careless or vicious training. Require train-
ers "to practice only gentle and humane methods, and give
employment to none who do not, and good trainers will be-
come more numerous, qualified for the service, to the
material benefit of the breeder and the great improvement of
his horses.

The increasing attention devoted to the breeding of horses,
the great enhancement in the value of superior breedB and
grades, and the rapidly growing demand for these qualities
in every quarter of the enlightened world, with the wealth
there is to promote and sustain this demand, and the noble
pride and gratifying profit there is in this field of commend-
able enterprise, devolve upon all engaged in it the apprecia-
tion of the importance of advancement to the best methods
in every essential to the development of the higher types for
every requirement. In this the training holds material
place.

Ab to the benefit of careful and methodical training, one
example will suffice, and it is adopted without intention of
invidious discrimination, with the remark that similar

fxamples exist at other breeding farms now famous in Cali-
fornia. Palo Alto is selected on account of its wider celebrity,
and as its owner, Senator Stanford, is conspicuous among
the foremost in the promulgation and practice of this Bound
gospel of the humane care, the kind treatment of the horse,
allied with the strong qualities which are essential in the
thorough training of the noble an-mal from foaling to exer-
cise and usefulness through life. Particular care is observed
in the management of the yearling — that it shall be gentle*
and considerate, so as to ensure in the horse the docility and
action which warrant case and safety in the use or handling
by any. The boy or the man whose treatment of the"colt
demonstrates unfitness or incapacity for the employment is
replaced by another who is well qualified. The vicious
teaching of colts, by teasing or tricks, is not t< lerated. Bit-
ing and kicking, the tremulous fear of the whip, shying and
fright, and other faults or consequences of recklesB or vici-
ous training are not witnessed in the colts of Palo Alto. To
correct faults and eradicate them, not to beget and provoke
them, is the study and command. This system assures that
the high bred colts Bball be also well bred colts — suitable for
saddle, harness, or the turf.

But the redeeming labors of the breeder reach faster than
their effect upon the horBes, ns the benefits which flow from
good mission work extend beyond the individupl, and have
good effect throughout the tribe or community. The reforma-
tion which converts from evil to good in one quality, works
to similar benefit upon other qualities. The missionary
reclaimes the heathen savage to Christian civilization, to
better methods of life in every walk. The good example
affects others to the Bame purpose, and the native savagery
with its proneness to brutality and lnstof blood is eradicated,
and to it succeeds laudable humanizing tendencies and con-
duct.

The labors of the enlightened breeder lead from' careless-
ness, recklessness, cruelty and brutality in the treatment of
the horse to humane and better methods. The trainer is
taught, and is affected in a measure as the horse is. Gentle-
ness begets gentility, as recklessness begets violence, and
indulgence of passion begets brutish deeds. The example
spreads. Tbat which is at first wrought through compulsion
is finally accepted as a du.y and meritorious, and is followed
as a good example. The disposition of the man reclaimed
is changed from perversity to betterment, and he is turned to
strive for excellence in his general demeanor. The whip is
discarded from the stable as the ornel Spanish bit has been
excluded from use in most enlightened lands . The nature of
the horse is studied, and his training is adapted to the prime
object — that of bettering him to the utmost. In training the
animal the trainer schools and improves himself. The horse
becomes more valuable to the breeder, and brings higher
price in the market. The benefit ramifies in every direction,
extends to every one concerned — is of profit to all. And as
the missionary is an exampler in Christianity, the breeder is
a benefactor to man and beast alike. J. O'M.

He I>nes Not Believe Tip* a tiood Snbstltnte For Shoes.

Several weeks ago we published a long article, copied from
the New York Sun, on the merits of tips and toe weights.
From the same ground we cut the following, which gives an
opposite view of. the question, and from as high an authority
aa Robert Bonner: —

"Ever since the two California stallions, Anteeo and Ante-
volo, were purchased and brought to the Eastern States
horsemen have been discussing the merits of the method em-
ployed bv their breeder, Joseph Cairn Simpson, in Bhoeing
these fast young trotters. Mr. Simpson, as recently reported
in the Sun, has used light shoes, called tips, whioh cover
only about half of the wall of the foot, on all his horses for
several years, and the fact that he was able to give Anteeo
and Antevolo records better than 2:20, although Anteeo made
his fastest mark in shoes, and to win several races with them,
has naturally caused practical turfmen and lovers of a speedy
horse to give some consideration to the system of shoeing
advocated by Mr. Simpson. One important consideration iB
the effect of the use of tips on trotters that have been trained
and campaigned with this half covering for the feet.

"When J. W. Knox arrived at Lexington during the recent
combination saleB held in that city, bringing Anteeo along,
the horse was critically examined, and, of course, the condi-
tion of his feet and legs was carefully examined by many.
Some contended that Anteeo's legs showed the wear and tear
of racing more then they should under ordinary circum-
stances, and argued that in his case tips bad been an injury.
In fact, Anteeo has two well- developed ringbones, whiob the
anti-tm people cite as conclusive evidence against this Btyle
of shoe. Mr. Simpson claims that the ringbones came after
Anteeo passed out of his hands, when he was shod in the
ordinary way and given a mark of 2:16J. Mr. Knox himself,
though a horseman of long experience, having owned Nut-
wood and other choice stock, is evidently not a convert to
the Simpson faith, for he gives it as his opinion that 'any
man who shoes a horse with tips should be arrested for
cruelty to animals.'

Other persons interested in breeding and developing trot-
ters that nave visited California, report that Mr. Simpson has
no following among the leading horsemen and breeders on
the Pacific Coast in the matter of tips, though he has con-
tinually presented his pet theory in his paper, the Breeder
and Sportsman, in addition to having written a book on tbe
subject.

Mr. P. C. Kellogg, the well-known auctioneer of this city,
who crossed the Rockies last year and inspected the famous
stock farms of the Golden State, is authority for the state-
ment that Antevolo's feet are badly contracted from toe to
heel, being much narrower at the ground surface than at the
toronet, and that in showing the Btallion to him, Mr. Simp-
son apologized for the condition of the trotter's hoofs, and
said it was owing to a lack of moisture.

Mr. Robert Bonner, who has been the friend and patron of
trotters for more than thirty years, was seen at his home on
WeBt Fifty-aixth Street recently, and asked to give some of
the results of his experience in shoeing horses. While Mr.
Bonner has given much time and attention to everything
connected with his favorite animal, and has studied the
problems of breeding, training and driving aB few men out-
side of the ranks of professional horsemen have done, the
care of the foot has been his particular bobby, and he has
spared no pains or expense to make a thorough investigation
of this special subject.

Mr. Bonner Baid that he had not had an opportunity to
read carefully the article on the use of tipB which recently
appeared in the "Sun," bnt he had heard it referred to briefly
by a friend the day after it appeared. "I have read Mr.
Simpson's book 'Tips and Toe-Weights,' and have followed
him io his paper since he began to advocate tbe use of tips
instead of shoes for horses' feet," said Mr. Bonner, "and my

opinion briefly is that the tip is not an improvement on the
regulation shoe."

"What is your chief objection to tips?"
''Because they violate the fundamental law that a horse's
foot most be perfectly poised or balanced in order that he
may attain his Bpeed without strain or injury to his foot or
leg."

"As a practical illustration of what this balance is, Mr.
Bonner took the reporter's arm and held it out Bomewhat as
a tailor would in measuring one for a coat, placing the hand
with the fingers pointing upward.

"When I press against the lower part of your hand below
the thumb," ?aid Mr. Bonner, suiting tbe action to the word,
"you feel no discomfort, and you can resist quite a force
against that part. But when I press against the tips of your
fingers, so, you feel a strain at once, and it would be easy to
cause you pain by using more strength."

The reporter admitted the truth of this from the experi-
ment, and awaited explanations.

"That pressure of the lower part of your hand," continued
Mr. Bonner, "corresponds to what happens whan ahorse
that is properly shod places his foot on the ground, in walk-
ing, trotting, or going any of the gaits. Every part of the
wall of the foot receives the concussion equally and the
animal incurs no injury. On the other hand, if the foot is
not properly poised the blow comes at an angle, the sensi-
tive tendons or cords are strained, and some one of the many
ailmentB that cripple the horse is the result.

'Ttis my belief, based on practical experience," said Mr,
Bonner, "that the only sensible way to protect a borBe's Toot
is to protect the entire wall, and I do rot believe in a shoe
which covers only the toe. If any one has driven horses in
tips, and given them fast records, it has been in Bpite of the
tips and not because of their use. When I was a young
man in the Conrant office at Hartford, I heard a merchant
say of a man who was then over SO years old:

" 'He always drank his glass of New England rain, and it
did him good'. It would be quite as logical to claim that a
man can prolong his life by drinking rum as to say that the
use of tips will enable a horse to trot fast and keep his feet
and legs sound."

An extract from The Sun article was then read, giving Mr.
Bedford's experience with his mare Kitty Patchen, who was
cured of lameness and contraction by being shod in tips.

"It is possible that in some cases where chere is a peculiar
defect or deformity in the foot," said Mr. Bonner, "the UBe
of a tip may serve to balance, and thus enable the horse to
recover from previous bad treatment or Datural disability;
but the same results can be obtained by the proper use of
the whole shoe. As to their aiding an animal to go fast, I
have no doubt there are horses that can go as fast in tips as
in shoes, just as tbey could trot barefooted. My own
mare Manetta can go about as fast barefooted aB in shoes. I
remember seeing her trot a mile when unshod in 2:17}, driv-
en by her groom. Murphy drove her that way in 2:17, and
her fastest trial in shoes with Murphy behind her is 2:16J.
Maud S., on the other band, could not trot at all if shod with
tips, as she requires an entire shoe to balance her properly,
though her gait is all any one could desire. When I pur-
chased Maud from Mr. Vanderbilt she was not shod as I
thought she should be; in fact; one leg had been ailing, and
had been cased in ice to reduce the fever, but under the
treatment followed since then the mare has not taken a lame
step, her feet and legs are perfect, and the records are the
best proof of how her speed increased."

When Mr. Bonner bought Maud S. her record was 2:09|.
She has tTotted in 2:094 and 2:08| Bioce that time, besides
her numerous private trials in harness and to wagon.

Referring again to the Simpson theory, Mr. Bonner re-
marked: "It is strange, if the plan pursued by him is the
p-oper one, that the leading breeders and horsemen in his
own State do not follow his example. During the recent sale
of California stock here I met Messrs. Rose, Corbett and
Valensin, all large breeders of trotters, and all opposed to
tips. I am also informed they are not used by Marvin,
Senator Stanford's trainer at Palo Alto.

The case of tbe grey gelding Jack, that Bodd Doble drove
in tips last year, was cited, and Mr. Bonner replied: "Tea,
he trotted very well shod that way, but you may not have
heard that when Doble returned to Chicago he lowered Jack's
heels, aB I suggested to him when he was here last Septem-
ber, and he showed him a faster mile than he had ever trot-
ted previously; at least so Mr. Wm. L. Simmons, the Ken-
tucky breeder, stated to me as coming from Budd Doble
himself."

Mr. Bonner said that he could cited many cases where he
had been asked by friends to examine and prescribe for a
horse that had gone lame, but he would rather that someone
else gave tbe testimony. He showed the reporter a letter
received in January from J. S. Brown, Westerly, R. I., which
stated that the method Mr. Bonner had suggested for shoeing
Mr. Brown's stallion Mount Morris, who had gone lame alter
getting a record of 2:19£ at Utica, had resulted in absolutely
relieving the horse from his lameness.

A New Racine: Rule-

According to the By-Laws of the Pacific Coast Blood Horpe
Association, the Directors are not allowed to change any of
the racing rules, but any member can give notice that he
intends to move for a change at the next annual meeting of
the association. In pursuance of this by-law Carlton Cole-
man, Esq., at a late meeting of the Directors, gave notice that
he would add to the racing rules the following clause:

"Any owner, trainer or jockey running horses at the meet-
ings of" this association who shall loan his colors to another
person or allow them to be used on any horse other than his
own, Bhall be subject to all penalties that may be incurred in
the race by the person to whom the colors were loaned or
the horse upon whioh the colors were ridden."

Secretary Culver has handed us the above for publication,
as it is necessary that the resolution should be placed prom-
inently before the public.

The sporting writer in "Truth" says:— "It is tbe impera-
tive duty of the stewards of the Jockey Club to investigate
the recent transactions in connection with Acme. The mor-
al sensibilities of the Newmarket divan are deplorably fluct-
uating; but, after all the chatter that haa been raised about
the firm resolution of the stewards to punish any irregulari-
ties which may come under their notice, it is ridiculous tbat
they should view the Acme business with stupid unconcern.
The 'Sporting Times' rightly maintains that a sharp detective
would soon be able to discover the truth, and everyone knows
that in all such cases the springs o' action are to be f
the ring. Who were the people who backed Acru
long odds when he had been kicked out?" Probat
somebody acting on behalf of Don Jnan Bocau, wh
Don may be.

The Daily Racing World and the San Leonado Reporter
ate the only two papers which have given the Breeder and
Sportsman credit for issuing the programmes.

It is reported that one of the valuable brood marea brought
by Mr. Valensin from Kentucky lately, is dead. We have
received no positive information about the matter, however.

The horseB in the Castle stable are headed by Diablo, who
promisee to turn out a first-class three-year-old. He has not
been pressed in his work, but has gone a half in 51 seconds.

Owing to an oversight, it was last week stated that Win-
chell rode Flood Tide when he won. It should have been
Hart, who deserves every credit for his brilliant perform-
ances.

The celebrated Minhehaha has a horse colt standing by
her aide, by Stamboul. He is a very dark bay, with a white

look about him.

Prior to the races on Tuesday last the odds laid agains*
the American Derby winner was Proctor Knot, 10; Sorrento,
25; The Czar, 20. The odds now are, Proctor Knot, 12; Sor-
rento, 15; The Czar, 10. ^____

George Hankins of the Chicago Stable has offered $22,000
for Proctor KDott, but Bryant refuses to part with the Futur-

the sale has fallen through.

Mr. W. H. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky.,
writes me that his annual catalogues will be ready for distri-

should address an application as above.

A rumor is current that Matt Storn has offered $10,000 for
Racine, but was not accepted. I do know positively that C.
"V. Tupper was tendered $1,500 for the little sorrel Gnido,
but he would iiot listen to the offer.

A telegram says that at the Newmarket spring meeting the
2 000 guineas stakes for three-year-old % one mile, was won
by Douglass Baird's colt Enthusiast, Dake of Portland's
colt Donovau second, Abington's colt Pioneer third.

The Blood Horse meeting has drawn down many of my
old Butte County friends, among the number being Con-
gressman Briggs, Col. W. L. Perkins, E. W. Fogg, Assembly-
man Burwell, Major Frank McLaughlin and L. H. Mcintosh.

Tom Hazlitt will go from Denver to Chicago, and from
there to the Twin Cities with his string, and hopes to pick
up some shekels with Laura and Brady, while his two-year-
olds are very promising, though short of work at present.

Th<y were coming out of the gate together, and the taller
of the two had evidently lost some money, for I heard her
say to the lady beside her: "I would like to meet the man
that steered me onto Mozart; I wouldn't leave him hair
enough to swear by."

The time given in the So So states for the winner is in all
probability wrong, as fully forty watches caught the time
at 1:13|, even the judges making it that. Mr. Hickok made
it 1:13|, but as the other two timers made it 1:14? he gave
in to them, and the latter time given as official.

The horses at the Brooklyn Jockey Club track which at-
tract most attention are those in Dwyer Bros.' stable. Han-
over, as a matter of course, is the great synosure of all eyes;
the horse looks lusty and well, and is much advanced in
preparation, and will doubtless represent the stable in the
Brooklyn handicap.

I heard a rumor last fall that Frank Harper of the Nantur
Stock Farm was going to prepare the filly "Valuable to try
and beat the record of Ten Broeck, 1:395- A telegram states
that the attempt will be made at the next Louisville meeting.
Valuable is by Ten Broeck, dam Lizzie Stone, and is reputed
very fast.

The Baltimore book on the Brooklyn Handicap has been
marked full on Exile, the old horse having been heavily
backed by partieB in this city, the owner of the horse, Wil-
liam Lakeland, and David Johnson, the bookmaker, being
two who got about 30 to 1 against him for their money.

An intelligent reporter on one of the evening papers says
that R. Porter Ashe had been cited before the board, to ehow
cause why Geraldine was beat in the three-quarter race, that
White Cloud won. Nothing of the kind was ever dreamed
of.

That good all round horseman James Dustin, of Oakland,
was in the judges' stand during the racing at the traok last
Tuesday, and he Bhowed as much knowledge of the bang

Mr. Dalmas, a well known steeple chaser, called in last
Wednesday to see me. He is now ranching in the State, but
still has a hankering for the illegitimate game and hopes to
have a ride across tbe sticks or timber before the year is out.
Oakland used to have a steeplechase or two in bygone yeara.
Why don't they revert to it again, for what pretlitr sight can
there be than a nice field of chasers?

Cy Mulkey has sub-leased from C. V. Tupper, the racing
qualities of the two-year-old Guido, and also Al Farrow.

The Duke of Portland after winning the Prince of Wales
Stakes at Leicester, denoted £1000 to the Leicester Infirmary.
Is not that a much better way than giving riders exoeBsive
presents, and thus encouraging cupidity? Some of our
prominent racing men might vary the monotony, by giving a
few thousand to establish a home for infirm jockeys instead
of giving their money to rich and prosperous riders.

Dan Hennesey spoilt a nice race last Tuesday when Samu-
els offered to bet Porter Ashe a thousand that McGinnis
could beat Geraldine weight for age one mile. Had they
been left to themselves, a match would have resulted, bnt
Dan jumped in, asking whether the horse was expected to
race ever/ day in the week, and added, "Sure, he has had
work enough for the present. Wait till Sacramento."

Frank Van Ness is in trouble at Clifton. It is claimed he
has been doctoring the pedigree of a colt called Kenneth,
which he has been running. He described the colt aa three
years old, by Mr. Piokwiok, dam Kate McDonald. Charles
Reed sayd the pedigree is not "straight." Van NesB has
letters from W. L. Collins of Frankfort, Ky., who says the
pedigree is correct.

One of our enterprising dailies in its Sunday edition says
that Dan McCarty shipped his horses East that morning, and
furthermore states that Bedford, St. David and Hidalgo will
again try their speed with the fastest horses at Sheepshead
Bay. Did Dan furnish the information, or who did? Can't
think Dan intends starting his trotters against Sam Harper
and Firenzi.

Fullerfon, who ran seoond for the "City and Suburban'"on
the 6tb of April, is reported sold to a Buenos Ayres syndicate
for the special purpose of beating Bismarck, who was sold to
go to Buenos Ayres last fall. The price is said to be £5,000.
He is by Tonchet, dam Caroline by Musket, out of Carine by
Stockwell, so that for stud purposes he cannot be dear. Why
do not some of our enterprising Americans go out and have a
ehy at both of them with an American horse. There is a
barrel of money in it if they can beat the pair.

The Peteluma track has been nearty covered with a coating
of clay mixed with Band, and those who have seen it declare
that'it is now the best in the State. Before the covering was
put on, the old surface was thoroughly ploughed up to a
depth of six inches so that the new covering might mix well
with the soil. The directors have determined that nothing
shall stand in the way of making the next meeting the most
successful one ever held in Sonoma Co.

How is this for news. The following telegram was sent
from San Francisco to the Eastern news papers. "It trans-
pires that the reason C. V. Tnpper did not let Dwyer Bros,
have Al Farrow for $20,000 is because he only has a lease of
the horse's running qualities. The lease expires next No-
vember. A Mr. Walters, of Fort Bid well} Modoo County,
Gal., owns the animal, and offered him not long since to
Tnpper for $18,000, but he did not secure him; otherwise be
would doubtless be on his way to the Dwyers' stable."

Sam Bryant started Conie To Taw in the two thousand on
Thursday to win, while Proctor Knott was out for the place.
It was current gossip at Nashville that such was Bryant's in-
tention, and the stable money was placed accordingly. In
some few instanoes Prootor Knott was backed outright by
people who imagined Conie To Taw was not good enough to
win, but the owner evidently knew what he was about and
showed good judgment in saving his gelding and also pre-
venting his incurring a penalty for the Derby.

Sal vat jr, who was expected to be the sensational three-
year-old of the year, has been veey sick with others of Mr.
J. B. Haggin's horses at Monmouth Park, says the N. Y.
Times. Lung fever has been the trouble, and Fresno, Yum
Sum, Aurelin and other horses in the string have been suf-
ferers, though Firenzi fortunately escaped the disease, whose
consequences every trainer dreads so much. The trouble
will probably keep the Haggin lot baok for some time, as Mr.
Byrnes will hardly ask the horses to do any hard work until
all traces of the disease have been removed by treatment.

The race for tbe City and Suburban handicap of 15 sov-
ereigns eaoh, with 1000 sovereigns added, the owner of the
second horse to receive 50 sovereigns out of the stakes, for
three-year-olds and upward, winning penalties, about one
mile and a quarter, was won by Mr. Leybourne'B four-year-
old bay colt Goldseeker, by The Miser, out of Swallow.
Lord Dudley's six-year-old brown horse Fuller ton, by Tou-
chel, out of Caroline., was second, and Sir R. Jardine's four-
year-old chestnut colt Wiseman, by Wisdom, out of Sweet
Jessie, third. There were 19 starters.

'In Re' the Al Farrow case, E. J. Baldwin made an offer
at the first hearing of the case to bet $5,000 that Al Farrow
could beat any horse in the race; the mere fact of offering to
bet did not prove anything and certainly could not be called
evidence. Mr. Baldwin had a chance last Wednesday to
baok his fancy against one of the starters in the doubtful
race and distinctly declined, saying that he did not keep his
offer open for five months. He also said that he was in
earnest when he made the proposition but had slightly
changed his mind after seeing the further running of the
horse.

Last Tuesday, a great combination sale of thoroughbreds
took place at Lexington. Ky., the produce ofWoodbnrn,
Runnymede, and Coldstream being sold. Mr. L. TJ. Shippee,
of Stockton, purchased two yearlings at the sale, one being a
full sister to Jennie T., by Falsetto, dam Queen Victoria by
Lexington, 2nd dam Magenta (dam of Duke of Magenta, Lar-
kin and Duke of Montalban) by imp. Yorkshire, 3rd dam
Miriam, by imp. Glencoe. The other one purchased was a
bay filly, by Falsetto, dam Glenluine (dam of Troubadour
and WindruBh) by imp. Glenalg, 2nd dam Lute by Lexing-
ton, 3rd dam Lulu Hornton, by imp. Albion. The two were
purchased for $3,000 which is not out of the way considering
the breeding.

This item should be read by all parties who are liable to
be in the judge's Btand. The following is the objection laid
against The Saxon after he had won the Blackrock Hunters'
race at Leopardpton: "I object to The Saxon being declared
the winner of the Hunters' hurdle race, because that the
wrong wetght was carried; and also because that the horse
was entered in Mrs. Tiernan's name to avoid the penalty at-
tached to Mr. Tiernan, who is in the forfeit list." Signed,
"W. Fulton." The former part of the protest was disal-
lowed, but the latter section sustained, and the horse conse-
quently disqualified.

The little trotting beauty Lady Whitefoot, with which
Jack Feek surprised the talent at Cleveland last season, and
landed a snug fortune, giving her a record of 2:18}. will be
campaigned by Budd Doble this year. She is by William M.
Ryskyk, son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian-, dam by Matthews'
Black Hawk, a descendant of Vermont Blaok Hawk.

An Australian bred horse won the Billesdon Handicap at
six furlongs at Leicester. England, carrying 114 pounds, and
was their objected to under the Plais auterie rule, which says
that a horse must have been habitually trained in the United
Kingdom, or have run twice there during the preceding six
months of the racing season before he can be handicapped.
This rule was passed after the French mare won the double
event (Cambridge & Cesarewitch), The objection in this case
was overruled, and the Australian got the race. He (Ring-
master) is by First King, dam Yardley.

Last week I mentioned that Acme had been sold to go to
Don Juan Bocau.

Who is Don Juan Bocau ? the English racing public would
like to know. Judging from the various sporting papers, he
is a mythical personage, and (if in the flesh) very hard to
beat, for a telegram was sent in his name, stating that Aorue
wonld not run at Lincoln; yet he was steadily backed by a
mysterious coterie, and went to the post a better favorite
than ever. Whether the Jockey Club will hold an investiga-
tion or not no one seems to know.

More trouble and lack of condition are caused by ulcerated
teeth than is generally supposed. Such teeth should be
promptly removed with forceps. There is no reason to doubt
that a horse with ulcerated teeth suffers as intensely from
toothache as a human sabject. Irregular growth or fractuies
of the enamel on the outer edges makes the teeth so rough
as to injure the inside of the cheek, sometimes causing
ulcers. In other cases some of the grinders grow more slow-
ly than others, and fail to meet those in the opposite jaw,
causing what is called "quidding" or im perfect mastication
of the food. The remedy is to tile the teeth into the proper
shape. Horse dentistry is now recognized as an important
branch of veterinary practice. — American Agriculturalist.

Tbe 200 guineas was won by Douglas Baird's chestnut colt
Enthusiast; Donovan, the hottest favorite we have seen for
years, ran second. Enthusiast, who was bought by Mr.
Baird at the Yardley yearling sale, is own brother to Energy
and Enterprise (Sterling — Cherry Duchess). Energy was one
of the best sprinters in the Grafton Scarlet a few years ago,
while Enterprise won the 2,000 in '87, and had his forelegs
been better would have made a lasting mirk. Eothnsiast
was easily beaten by Donovan in the rich Prince of Wales
stakes, finishing fourth. He is a good, hard chestnut, deep
bodied, short backed, well ribbed, with exceptionally good,
flat legs and sound feet, and judging from his general con-
formation, ought to have a brilliant future before him.

The race-horses are rapiaiy leaving for Sacramento.
Big Jim Garland left last Sunday with Emotion, Wanderer
2d and Jackson. Ab Stemler took Whisban, Farealara, Song-
stress and Picnic. Matt Storn sent Kildare, Lurline, Glen
Ellen, Forester and Marigold. Albert Cooper had Lonis P.,
Canny Scot and King Hooker. On Wednesday W. L. Applebj
left with White Cloud, Wild Oats, Alfarata and Lady Helen.
Frank De Poyster's string included Baruey G., MoseB B.t
Longahot and Duke Spencer. Jones took Joe Hoge, Reata
and Alice. Thursday— Kelly left the Villa stables with Mo-
zart, Geraldine, Flood Tide, Mirope and Abdiel. Hennessey
departed with McGinnis, Welcome, Rosebug and Lucifer.
Joe Courtney took the Australians. The Tupper stable's
Guido, Al Farrow aud Ito went up at the same time. Boots
will probably go up to Sacramento next week. His horses
are at present at the ranch.

Admirers of that game two-year-old colt, French Park,
who was thrown out of training last year owing to a flight
accident to one of his hoofs, will be glad to know that there
is now no good reason for doubting that he will stand the
hard work of training. He is more carefully watched than
any horse at Jerome Park, and, while he has not been asked
to do any very fast work, he haB up to the present time done
all that his trainer, Hyland, has asked him to do, and
responded cheerfully, and as if he enjoyed his work. If he
retains his old speed aud all continues to go as well in the
future as in the past, he will probably be able to give all the
three-year-olds about here all they want to do to beat him.
His stable companion} Radiant, keeps improving; is nearly
fit for a race now, and promises to make one of those very
good little ones that every horse owner likes to have in his
string. He is honest, a hard worker, a good feeder, and will
be a good winner during the year.

The following horses have been declared out by the several
stake races to be run at the Spring meeting of the American
Jockey Club:

Spuyten Tuyvel — Yum Yum, Winfield, Laramie, Magnetic.

Decoration — Yum Yum, Salvator.

Arrow — Robert Adams, Lady Margaret, Magnetic, Saracen,
Lannes, Winfield, and the Glengarry — Rosa Clark colt.

Harlem — Penman, Magnetic. Lannes, Winfield, Lady
Margaret, and the Glengarry — Rosa Clark colt.

Bronx— Melrose, Wabassa, Lady Margaret, Magnetic, Sara-
cen and Winfield.

Minimum — Triana, Flora Ban, Pauline F., Anstraland,
Masterlode, Pilgrim, Beckie Knott, Felipa, and the Lyttleton
— MasBification filly.

honkers — Triana, Flora Ban, Pauline F., Rosetta, Anstra-
land, Cadet (dead), Index and Masterlode.

Sequence— Beckie Knott, Cornelia, Australand, Masterlode,
Rosette and Cadet.

Maximum — Australand, Rosette, Ten Shiner, Masterlode,
and the Springbok— Easter Planet colt.

Encore — Despair.

About twenty years aeo, writes Thomas B. Armitage in the
Kentucky Stock Farm, Hambletonian's service fee was $500,
and that was considered an unapproachable figure for genera-
tions to come;. yet, to-day there are several stallions with
books full at that price. Recently I was bid $1,000 cash for
the privilege of using tbe service of Electioneer, which Sena-
tor Stanford had presented to me (and which I purpose using
for myself this year), a price never before equaled for the ser-
vice of a trotting stallion, and double that commanded by
his cwn sire. Who doubts that Electioneer would readily
command $1,500 tn $2,000 a mare, if he were in Kentucky?
These figures will illustrate the probabilities that are yet in
store for trotting stock. Stamboul sold for $50,000, aud
$75,000 has since been bid for him, and it will not be long
before $100,000 will be the ruling price for our Lest stock,
and $1,000 to $1,500 the stud fee for our great stallions. I
expect to see the best trotting-bred brood-mares command
from $25,000 to S30,000 within five years.

A Hot Finish.

[ErG. A. SykerJ

I am by profession a jockey, and the incident I am about
to relate occurred on one of the large Eastern tracks last sum-
mer. I was standing in the paddock one afternoon, when
the owner of a small string of horses— a Captain Folsom—
came up to me and said: "Charlie, my boy, I've done a
good deal for you at one time and another, and now I'm go-
ing to BBk you to do something for me; to speak plainly to
stive me from going to smash. I have had nothing but bad
lack lately, and unless l make a big haul with Dragon in the
Glenwood I shall have to go under, for I oan't meet my last
week's obligations."

I knew that the Captain had been very unfortunate lately,
bat never thoagbt that he was so low, for it was the general
impression that this veteran turfite was fabulously wealthy;
however, repeated losses on the turf will eventually sink the
largest fortune.

Captain Folsom had been very kind to me in the past, and
it was mainly through his influence that I had been pro-
moted from stable boy to jockey, and I had long wanted an
opportunity to prove my gratitude to him. He had a four-
year-old entered for the Glenwood Handicap; a magnificent
brnte be was, too, with a wonderful turn of speed, but with
auch a devil's own temper and obstinate disposition that he
never would run when wanted to. The Captain had lost
large sums of money on Dragon, for he well knew that the
horse was a flyer whtn he felt disposed to gallop, and the
question had often been discussed bow to make him feel dis-
posed; but no solution had as yet been discovered.

My stable bad nothing entered for the race, so I was free
to ride for any one, and willingly promised to do my best to
bring Dragon under the wire b'rst. I cautioned the Captain
against risking such on the result of the race, but he in-
formed me that he bad every dollar that he obuld possibly
rake op invested on the horse, and it literally meant "make
or break" for him.

That Dragon was speedy I knew, and if he only chose to
run had his horses practically beaten ; still there was one ani-
mal in the race— a big, rakish, easy-going chestnut called
Huron — that I knew was fast enough to make it very in-
teresting for me on my present erratic mount, and to add to
the cbances against me. Huron was gifted with an amiable
disposition, and would do his utm at whenever and when-
ever called upon. I have changed the names of the horses
and owners for obvious reasons, but the facts are almost lit-
erally as they transpired.

While weighing for the race, jnst before the saddling-bell
rang, I noticed that Captain Folsom's face was as pale as
death, and that his hands were twitching convulsively as he
watched Dragon plunging and kicking. Usually the Captain
awaited the result of a race with imperturbable features, and
his conduct now, so different to his usual self, made me
realize fully how much this race meant to him, and I men-
tally vowed to do my utmost to bring the generous, good-
hearted Captain's colors first past the judges' stand.

Dragon was quoted at long odds in the betting when the
post-bell rang, and I sent a little money into the ring to back
my mount, more from sympathy with the Captain than from
hope of winning. When we were at the post Dragon be-
haved like a demon, and got the starter, the jockeys and my-
self thoroughly out of temper. Many false starts were made,
and once more the starter drops his flag snd the field breaks
away m a bunch, leaving Dragon kicking at the post.

Suddenly he snatobed the bridle almost out of my grasp,
tears after the hoises like a mad oreature, and I pulled and
fought until my arms ached before Igot control of him again.
We were now two lengths behind the last horse, and
gradually I crept up with my field, which fortunately bad
not been going very fast, so Dragon did not feel regaining
his lost ground as he might have done, still I was concerned
to find that he was more winded than I would wish consider-
ing the work we had to do yet.

One by on6 I worked through my horses, nursing Dragon
as much as possible, and easing him by every means in my
power. Now I was running third, nest to the rails, with
Huron right in front of me, and a little chestnut gelding
making the running two lengths ahead of him,
- On we wont, the thud of the flying hoofs ringing strangely
in my ears, and Huron kicking up the mud all over me.
Faster and faster does the little chestnut in front make the
pace as we get near the straight, and round the bend we
swung in the same order. Now we ate in the homestretob,
and now for the tussle; the contest of speed, endurance and
riding ability, and it is pace that kills.

The track all the way around has been heavy, and my
mount feeling the effects of that burst at the stsrt. Dragon,
if you had started properly with the rest, this race would be
ours already.

Tbe gelding shoots his bolt and falls back beaten; it is an-
other instance of survival of the fittest, and the race is now
between Huron and myself.

I steady my horse in his stride. He is doing better now,
and I wonder if he can finish brilliantly. Huron is in front
still, leading a red-hot pace, but he is starting to finish too
far from home, aud is making his rush too soon. Now he is
beginning to falt.-r, and Luke, his jockey, starts riding in
dead earnest. I also call on Dragou to do a little better, bat
I have to do it with the nicest care, for I must have a little
in hand to finish with. Inch by inch I creep up to the girths
in front of m*> — inch by inch be comes baok to my horse'B
neck, and the wire is not more than eight lengths ahead.

I hear a confused roar of voices, and can distinguish in a
dim way above tbfi rest, "Huron wins!" "Dragon's done!"
"HTiron wins!*' But no! Huron has not won yet. Now^

Dragon, now! I'm calling on you to save your owner; stretoh
yourself as you never did before. I grip him with my knees
and lift him through the mud at every stride, and, though
he is tiring all too rapidly, he makes a gallant response to my
appeal, and it is now neck and neck, nose and nose — a strug-
gle that calls for every sinew and muscle in both horses and
riders. Huron is rocking badly, and makes a miss in his
stride; he is about exhausted; and I make one last rush,
and Dragon shoots past the judges, a winner by a neck!

I was reeking with perspiration. The strain had been
something terrible, and while riding back to the paddock
nearly fainted from exhaustion. I felt more than repaid,
however, when I saw the elad light in Captain Folsom's
eyes, and heard his earnest words of thanks; also, I had the
additional satisfaction of receiving my winnings from the
sum I bad sent into the ring. It was the opinion of every*
body that, had Huron not stumbled, the race would have
resulted in a dead-heat. Huron strained a sinew in his off
fore leg, and was not able to run again until very late in the
season, when he met Dragon in a five furlong race, and beat
him by four lengths, Dragon sulking all the way round the
track— The Horseman.

The Osborne Steel Frame Self-Binder.

An interesting adaptation of unusual means to an end,
which might be deemed characteristic of the wide-awake
rancher of California, is in the use of the Steel Frame Self-
Binder for hay making, manufactured by Messrs D. M.
Osborne & Co., Auburn, N. "¥., whose local office is on
Bluxonie street, between Fifth and Sixth, San Francisco.
The Binder was of course primarily designed for harvesting
grain, and its general use by the leading grain farmers of
the State gives the best possible assurance of its perfect
adaptability to that purpose. But in addition to the demand
for the splendid machine for that use, there is a call for it
from all sections where hay is made. The Self-Binder is
made almost wholly of steel aud malleable iron, and combines
with extraordinary ingenuity the indispensable qualities,
lightness and durability, besides being beautiful in design
and simple in mechanism.

Messrs. D. M, Osborne & Co. possessing their own rolling
mills, were first to substantiate steel for the cumbersome
wood frames, the cast parts being mainly of malleable iron,
particularly the binder gearing, road wheel and other impor-
tant parts, thuB securing lightness with the greatest possible
strength. The drive wheel is made in sections, with very
wide face, thereby securing lightness of draft. The entire
frame of tbe machine is made of angle steel, while the finger
bar is made of extra thick, double angle steel, which cannot
sag or warp, thereby always securing easy play for the knife,
which has a short pitman, and has a direct connection with
the crank head. The bottom is secured by a steel-protecting
plate, riveted to the finger bar and bottom of platform, which
can be raised or lowered at will, leaving a stubble from three
inches to two feet, according to the length of straw or notion
of those using binder, thus allowing the shortest or tallest
grain to be handled, bb the elevators are rive feet wide. The
binding attachment is automatic, leaving the bundles of
uniform size, the whole making one of the most perfect and
complete machines ever invented, and one which is compar-
atively indestructible.

In its application to hay binding it presents advantages
which entitle it to the commanding place it holds. Raking,
and consequent clods, sand, leaves and grit are avoided by
its use. although they are unavoidable where the old-fash-
ioned mower is used. The hay is deposited in well tied bun-
dles, compact and convenient for hauling, storage and feed-
ing. The bay cures perfectly in the bundles, preserving its
life and nutritious properties without bleaching. Twine is
the binding material used, and is readily renewed, thus elim-
inating danger of injury from the wire fastening formerly
used; and when to all other advantages is added the crown-
ing virtue, that making hay by the Osborne Self-Bi- der costs
less per aore than when any other appliance is used, there is
certainly justification for unreserved commendation of the
machine.

There may be Culifornian farmers who do not know the
Osborne Self-Binder, but there can be none who do not know
and respect Mr. L. J. Hose, the famous horseman, and he
has this to say of the machine:

Savannah, Cal., March 3, 1887.

Messrs. D. M. Osboorne & Co. — Gentlemen: I want to
say for your benefit that the No. 11 Steel Frame Binder we
purchased of your agent last year, cut my crop of three hun-
dred acres without a Biogle break, and was put op at the end
of the seabou in good order, ready for this year's work.

We started it early in the season, cutting and binding for
hay which was thought by some rather hazardous, but your
agent was so sanguine that tbe green grain would cure, that
we cut our bay and it proved sweet, clean and good. It will
make tine bay; if the bundles are stood in ricks they will
never mould or spoil. We have more hay to cut this year
and shall put it all up this way. Yours,

L. J. Rose.

The Self-Binders are of two Bizes, catting five and six feet;
and can be adjusted to shave tbe ground inmost as close as a
mower. Messrs. Osborne & Co., also have mowers cutting
4£, 5and 6 feet; also, single reapers, and combined reapers
and mowers with self rake, the most complete assortment.

St , between 5th and 6th, San Francisco.,

CANOEING.

We are indebted to Mr. W. A. Stringer of the committee
of arrangements of the Corinthian Yacht Clnb, for an invi-
tation to the opening day celebration on Saturday last, at
Tibnron. A programme including a handicap boat race, a
nailing race for small yachts, a marine tug of war, and an
evening low jinks seemed to attract a choice company of
guests, all of whom were delightfully entertained. The Cor-
inthians may well be proud of their success.

THE KENNEL

Dog owners are requested to Bend for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr. Bernard Waters' long promised book, "Modern Train-
ing, Handling and Kennel Management,'* was received too
late for review this week, but will be noticed in the next
issue.

Those who intend to make entries in the bench show of
the Pacific Kennel Club, would serve the convenience of the
officers, and assist in making the catalogue perfect if they
would hand in the names and description of their dogs,
poultry and pigeons at once. The habit of delaying until
the last moment is a nuisance.

More than 140 prizes have already been listed for the
Pacific Kennel Club show on May 22nd, tbe last one being a
case of champagne f->r the best English setter, presented by
A. Finke's widow, at the request of Mr. J. B. Barber. Pre-
parations for the show are going forward smoothly, and proB-
pects are bright for a thoroughly good and successful exhibi-
tion of dogs, poultry and pigeons. An ample supply of
freshly prepared Spratt'B biscuit haB been secured, and the
feeding of the dogs will be unexceptionable.

Mr. G. H. Covert, of Chicago, has recently' purohased in
Ireland, the Irish setter Gurryowen IV, by Avondale {20411
E)— Dora (20467 E).

Mr. M. D. Walter, the trainer and handler, writes from
Gait as follows: I had quite a time with distemper. Had
thirteen dogs down at once and all of them had it bad but
only lost one by the disease. They are now all about well
and doing finely. I have room for ten more dogs yet, for
this year pointers or setters.

Pacific Kennel Club.

The Pacific Kennel Club met last Wednesday night to make
preparations for the second annual bench show, which com-
mences on the 22d inst., and continues until the 25th. H,
W. M. Sanebach presided.

The bench show committee reported that they were hard
at work preparing for the event. The following extra classes
were provided lor:

Miscellaneous class shall be understood to comprise all
pure breeds of dogs for which no regular class has been pro-
vided in the premium list.

The selling class must be for dogs to be sold for a price to
be stated in tbe premium list. An exhibitor may catalogue
his dog in this class for any sum less than the maximum.

The novice class shall be understood to be of a recognized
breed for which a regular class has been provided, and for
competition in which a dog shall not have won a prize at any
American Kennel Club show, or in a recognized show held
in England or Canada.

The puppy class, which shall embrace only dogs of twelve
months old and under in age, excepting for the following
breeds, which may be extended to eighteen months of age at
the option of the Bench Show Committee: St. Bernards,
mastiffs, deerhounds, Irish Betters, great Danes.

The open class is for dogs of any age which have not al-
ready qualified for tbe challenge class and for which no chal-
lenge class has been provided.

Tbe challenge class provides for all dogs having won four
first prizes in the open olasses. A dog having won three first
prizes in this class shall have the title of champion without
further competition.

Old Black Joe Again-

"James Watson's Pointer." The Pacific Field Trials went
off well. There was a surpiBe in store for "tbe boys" in the
shape of the black pointer dog Black Joe, owned by Mr. J.
E. Watson, who won both the Derby and the All-Aged Stake.
His breeding, age and history are unknown, no why wag he
allowed in the Derby'— Sports Afield, (Denver). Thut is juet
what we have been asking. — Shooting Times, (London).

[Both Sports Afield and our caustic English colaborer, dis-
play commendable zeal in keeping alive the inquiry about
the antecedents of Old Blaok Joe. The dog was undoubt-
edly a crack, and all information about him is of importance,
but it is feared that tbe oarelessuess, indifference or ignor-
ance of a gun smith at New-Castle-on-Tyne, Northumberland,
Eng., named W. R. Pepe, who claims to have bred the dog,
may result in failure to establish anything about Blaok Joe.
Mr. Pape has been repeatedly requested by the purchaser of
Joe, to furnish proper data, but has invariably refused to do
so, without giving any reason for such extraordinary
duct. Whether negleot of ordinary business oonrtes
disregard of commop propriety are characteristics o

Pape.'we have no means of learning, but the reasonable
inference, is that he either breeds so recklessly as to be
unable to famish pedigrees, or he does not consider Mr.
Watson entitled to one, although he paid some eight pounds
for the dog when young. Mr. Watson has exhausted all
means of procuring the proper information from Mr. Pape.
As for the other aspeot of the case, it may be said that on the
evening of the draw for the Derby, there was some informal
discussion about the age of Old Slack Joe, and several ex-
pressed the opinion that he was older than two years. His
handler, who owned his field trial qualities, produced a letter
from Mr. J. E. Watson, stating upon information and belief
that the dog was whelped on February 7, 1887. When the
names of the Derby starters were handed to the secretary,
Joe's was among them, and no one protested the entry, and
the win therefore stands.

Our authoritative English contemporary should have in-
fluence enough to incline Mr. Pape to do what is right in the

premises. — Ken. Ed.

Dogs of History.

Of all the dogs that have a place in history Tyras, the noted
Realm dog of the German Chancellor, is the only one whose
death has been deemed of sufficient inlerest to be cabled
round the world as an event, not merely of European, but of
Cosmopolitan interest. Indeed the record of Tyras hardly
ended with his life, for the cable has since told the world
that the first visitor to Prince BiBmarck on his recent birthday
was the youthful Emperor, who broaght as a present another
dos, of the type of the lamented Tyras.

For nearly sixty years Prince Bismarck has owned speci-
mens of the Great Dane, and generally has bad one or more
of unusual size, says a writer in the English Kennel Gazette.
His first hound, acquired while living with his parents at
Kneiphof, was one of the largest ever seen, and waa an ob-
ject of awe to the peasantry of the district. The doe after-
wards accompanied his young master to tbe college at Goet-
tingen, where he speedily made his mark. Once when Bis-
marck was summoned to appear before, the rector for throw-
ing an empty bottle out ot his window, he took with him his
enormous hound, to the great diBmay of the reverend digni-
tary, who promptly took refuge behind a high-backed ohair,
where he remained until the hound had been sent out of the
room. Bismarck was fined five thalers for bringing this "ter-
rific beast" into the rector's sanctum, in addition to the pun-
ishment meted out to the original offence.

As a law student and official at Berlin, during nis travels
in many lands, throughout his diplomatic career at Frank-
fort, St. Petersburg, Paris, and elsewhere, as well as at Var-
zin and at Freidrichsruh, Bismarck haB always had the com-
panionship of one or more of his favorite dogs. Probably
the one to which he was most attached was Sultan, which
died at Varzin in 1577. Tyras, who was of unusual size, and
of the slate color which is most popular in Germany, was
then quite a young dog, and he was the constant companion
of his illustrious ownep, till the time of his deatb, sharing
his walks, his rides, his business, and his meals, and keep-
ing guard in his bedroom at night. Owing to his uncertain
temper he was not often seen in the streets or gardens of
Berlin. He was, indeed, regarded more as belonging to the
"Pomeranian squire" side of the Prince's life than to his
official establishment. At Varzin or Friedriohsruh, however,
the two were inseperable. No sooner was the most abso-
lutely necessary business of the morning despatched than
the Reichskanzler sallied off with the Reichshund at his
heels, and for the rest of the day the long lght coat and the
battered felt hat of the famous statesman were not greater
objects of interest than the huge dog which followed him
everywhere, on horseback or on foot.

A most interesting book might be written on the dumb
friends of celebrated people, though it would be difficult to
draw any useful conclusions from these canine friendships.
Not a few of the least amiable of men have been fond of dogs,
while many of the kindliest of mortals have cared nothing
for them. The Dog of Icarius, and the Dog of the Seven
Sleepers, which in spite of the Moslem dislike of its race,
was admitted by Mohammed into Paradise, share the more
substantial fame of the Dog of Montargis and the Dog of
Aubri, who killed the murderer in judicial combat more than
five centuries ago. Geryon's dogs, Gargittius and Orthos
enjoy a less agreeable fame, for, though their reputation is
linked with that of Hercules, it is solely because he slew
them both. Orion's dogs are also bruteB of much renown,
while the fifty dogs of Actaeon are well known to all students
nf flncii«nt lore, although the names are seldom found in our
catalogues.?

But the dogs of men whoBe names have a more human
history for us are those which appeal most directly to our
feelings. King Arthur had his favorite Cavall, and Fingal's
dog Bran has become embalmed in a Gaelic proverb. As
for Gelert, Llewellyn's dog, it has long had a place in Bong
and story as the faithful guard who slew the wolf which had
seized the sleeping Prince, and was in turn killed by the
frantic father. Bert-gelert, its burial place, \b a name still
preserved in Welsh traditions. "Lazy as Ludham's dog" is
an adage referring to an animal of a different type, for it was
owned by a Farnham witch, and "leaned its head against a
wall to bark." The dog of Alcibiades and the dog of UlysseB
(which alone of all his friends remembered tbe roving war-
rior) are even more celebrated than Lance's dog Crab or the
dog of Savandurga.

Coming to modern times, it is remarkable what a strange
mixture of contradictory celebrities owned to a commou love
for dogs. Charles II., who had the lowest opinion of his
species, and, indeed, had but little reason to admire them,
seemed to be of the same opinion as the eminent individual
of more recent times, who declared that tbe more he saw of
dogs the leBB he thought of men. The Merry Monarch has,
indeed, given his name to a peculiar breed of spaniels, and
in the most agreeable pictures which have been preserved of
him he is usually playing with them in the Park or in the
Place. Kings, it is said, can have no friends, yet few of them
seem to have tried to get on familiar termB with these asso-
ciates who could not flatter and would not betray. The men
of letters and the politicians do not seem to have been very
different, for though some oF them cherished dogs, they val-
ued them as a rule, simply for use in the chase.

It is difficult to find a reference in Shakespeare, or Miltou,
or Dryden which oan be construed to express a love of dogs'.
Samuel Johnson cared nothing for them, but Dr. John Brown,
author of "Kab and His Friends," not ouly wrote lovingly of
them, but it is seldom that one was not peeping over his
carriage door when he rode abroad. Byron reserved a large
corner in his somewhat egotisticrtl ttffoctious for Boatswain,
while Scott, with that breadth of Hvmpathy for v.liicb be is
noted, is declared to have had his life fairly divided, just as
history iB divided into reigns, "by the succession of hie horseB
aDd dogn." His deerhounde, one of which sits beside him
on his monument, from a long and most honored suoceBsion.

There was Camp, and Maida, and Nimrod, besides many
others whose names have not been preserved. When Camp
died he begged off a dinner party to which he had previous-
ly accepted an invitation on the ground that the decease of
an "old friend" made him too sad to enjoy himself. Over
Maida he erected a marble tomb, and Nini'odhe valued so
highly that he refers to him during his last journey to Italy as
too good adogfor his diminished fortunes. He never wrote at
at ease — so Lookhart tells ub — if at least one favorite dog
did not lie watching his eye. And among the memories of
old people on Tweedside the figure of the lame "Shirra," fol-
lowed by his deerhound, still holds a prominent place.

Enough has been said to remind readers that a strong and
abiding love for dogs is common to all ages, and to all sorts
and conditions of men. Some other time, the doga here
touched upon, with many others now crowded out for
want of space, may receive more extended notice.

THE GOT,

Nevada Shooting and Fishing.

Mr. Philip B. Bekeart, the alert and observant travelling
representative of Mr. E. T. Allen, is now on onelof his regular
trips through Nevada and the territories, and kindly sends
ns the following interesting notes about sport in the sections
thus far visited.

"You may get a few items out of the following: Iu Reno
small trout fishing is still going on, although the season is
closed, considerable interest is manifested in the New Parker
and Smith Hammerless guns. In Carson they are haviognice
lake fishing at Tahoe and look forward to a good dove BeaBon
as they do in Virginia City. The later place has a first class
gun club. Mr. Jas. Conway generally carries off the palm.
Grouse have become very Bcarce. I was told by an "old re
sidenter", that he went out a short while ago, and only got
two grouse where he formerly used to bag from two to four
dozen. It was such a mild winter that what quail they have
up here went over the mountains early; hence they had very
poor quail hunting this season. Trout will be very scarce in
the streams this year, as the water was very low, and the
large trout fell easy prey to minks whioh abound in this sec-
tion. One Bport in Truckee told me they only got small fish
this season running from six to ten inches. He
told me he got a fourteen pound lake trout in Tahoe last
season. In trolling in the lake they used a plain spoon, cop-
per outside and Dickie inside and a treble hook attached and
strong swivels. In fly rod fishing in the streams they use
light colorB mostly at the present season and brown later on.
At Donner Lake they are taking out a good many pound
fish. The weather is rather warm and the fishermen com-
plain of lack of rain early in season, although they now have
plenty. There is very little snow left on the mountains and
all expect hot tramping after doves later on. The Reno and
Virginia part of Nevada, look very much like San Diego coun-
try, and is an easy ground to hunt on."

Pacific Sportsmen's Club.

Last Sunday was one of those delightful spring days for
which the Sacramento valley has become renowned, and peo-
ple were out in crowds at all the suburban pleasure reBorts.
It was field day among the knights of the trigger — both of
shotgun and rifle—and there were large delegations of sports-
men before the traps and rifle targets.

The first shoot of the Pacific Sportsmen's Club was held
at the new grounds at Gerber's ranch, near the city. The
place has been fitted "up by the Forester and Pacific Gun
Clubs in fine style. A new house, judges' stand, benches,
etc., have been erected, and everything necessary added to
complete a sportsman's shooting grounds. Refreshments
were served at the grounds in abundance, and everybody
present enjoyed a good time. Several of the Foresters took
part in the main match and also in pool shooting. George
Vaughn won the gold medal, with a score of II, and Louis
NicolauR the silver medal, with a score of 10 birdB killed out
of.12. Following are the scores:

Several sweepstake matches were shut after the medal
shoot.

A lady in a family having recently married and gone to
New York, it was noticed that the dog and the two cats be-
longing to the home establishment felt the loss very deeply.
Yesterday morniug, on going into the drawing-room very
quietly, I saw the dog (a fox terrier) take a photographic
album off the table, and after turning over the leaves uDtil
he found the absent lady's portrait, call the two catsup and
point out to them whom it was meant for. He then deliber-
ately went into the study, and, fetching an atlas, showed
them on the map where their friend had gone, and marked
with some soot from the grate on his claws where New York
was. — London Pink 'Uu.

The matter of "cast off," a much neglected and too often
overlooked point in fitting guns to buyers is being exhaus-
tively discussed in Bbooting circles, and the discussion can-
not but result in good both to the makers of Bhot-gnns and
to the users. Several points of interest are suggested by a
writer in an exchange who says that "a discussion on long
shots may not at first sight seem to bear any reference what-
ever to the effect of cast-off, but it has a very great deal to do
with it. Some time ago a correspondent committed himself
in the London Field to the statement that it was necessary to
aim six feel above tho game at very long shots. It was at
once pointed out that this was ridiculons. The reason a good
gun doeB not want elevation at long distances is because it
behaves on the tame principle as Sir Henry Halford's rifle,

with a small charge of powder. Sir Henry records, in Land
and Water and in the book he has republished, the fact that
he was trying a rifle with four drams of powder (if we re-
member right); this shot to the oenter; he then reduced the
charge by one dram, and the rifle, as he expected, shot under
the mark. He then reduced it another dram, and to his sur-
prise he found the rifle shot as it did with the four drams.
This is explained by Colonel Metford: who discovered that
the stock was the cause of the barrel making a curve with the
muzzle downwards, so that at near distances the bullet struck
below the point it should have struck; turning the barrel
round with the toe of the butt pointing outwardB from tha
body, and horizontal with the bump, he found the rifle shot
just as much to the right as it had previously shot under-
neath; then turning the rifle the other way, with the toe on
the right shoulder, but pointing to the left shoulder, he found
that the barrel shot just as much to the left as it had pre-
viously shot to the right and underneath (of course taking
gravity and the axis of the barrel into account.)

Thus Colonel Metford discovered that the barrel made a
curve downwards consequent on the bend of the stook. It
was, however, left to Sir Henry Halford to discover that, with
a smaller charge of power the curve had time to react before
the shot left the barrel, and that the flip upwards given by
his barrel enabled 2drs. of power to shoot with as flat a tra-
jectory as 4drs. and a flatter one than 3drs Cast-off acts ex-
actly as the bend of the stock does, except the the movement
in the one case is vertical, snd in the other it is horizontal;
hence it will be seen that oast-off in Sir Henry Halford's rifle
with 2drs. of power would have Bent the bullet as much more
to the left than was expected, as bend of stack did send it
high of the point expected. It is clear that a good shot-gun
wants no elevation at long ranges. The reason can only be
one — that the barrels flip the shot in an upward direction,
otherwise point-blank at thirty yards would not be point-blank
at sixty; yet given a good gun, it is so in practice as we our-
selves have long ago learned, We, therefore, have something
definite to go upon. Cast-off or bend of stock first make the
barrels bend to tbe right, or downwards, as the oase may be,
but the reaction of the curve whioh is set up and the natural
action of recoil both counteract the movement to degrees
which are variable, according to the load and the barrel, and
more particalarly in the case of cast-off, by the presence or
absence of a second barrel, which will vary the curve caused
by the stock, or, in some cases, step it altogether, and in the
case recoil abne will influence the direction of the projec-
tile."

Deputy Fish Commissioner Robinson writes a letter in
which the charge iB made that a corporation, at the head of
which is ex-Senator Langford, is doing all in its power to
prevent the migration of fish and their multiplication in the
Mokelumme river, says the Chronicle. Mr. Langford is
president of the Mokelumme River and San Joaquin Irriga-
tion Company, wbiuh maintains the "Westmoreland dam.
This dam, up to the time of tbe appointment of Mr. Robin-
son as Deputy Fish Commissioner, had no fish ladder. Mr.
Robinson gave the required notice directing that a ladder be j
supplied, and no attention being paid to it, caused tbe arrest!
of Langford, who was held and fined $250, whereupon he
took an appeal and the case was dismissed on the ground of
insufficient service. A second notice was filed by Mr. Robin-
son, who took every conceivable precaution, whereupon a
ladder was built, but one that does not follow specifications,
and therefore does not permit the fish to ascend the dam As
a consequence the people of the upper river are deprived of
fish. We do not know what motives prompt Mr. Langford to
act as an obstructionist, but if there is any power in the State
which can be exercised to bring him to terms it ought to be
called into play. And as Mr. Langford is somewhat of a
politician, it might not be a bad idea for the people he asks
to vote for him to remember that a wfllful law-breaker can
hardly be a good lawmaker, and govern themselves accord-
ingly.

Mr. J. G. Woodbury. Deputy Fish Commissioner and Su-
perintendent of the State Hatcheries, reportsthat for some
months past he has been employed at Sissous in construct-
ing an immense hatchery. He has been actively engaged in
pisciculture since 1S70. He says that for many years at tbe
United States salmon hatchery on the McCloud River there
were taken, principally duriDg the month of September from
S,000,000 to 12,000.000 salmon eggs. In July of last year
Livingstone, of the United States Fish Commission, wrote to
the State Board that he intended re-opening the salmon
hatcheries on the McCloud River, and offered to give the
State Board 4,000,000 Balmon eggs, eyed and packed ready
for shipment, for hatching aud distributing in the waters of
California. This hatchery haa not been in operation for a
number of years past, but it was thought that this 4,000,000
eggs and many more could be easily obtained, but at the
opening of the spawning season, about September 1st, there
could be Bcarcely a salmon seen behind the rack, while in
former years at this season the river would be black with
them. Every salmon was taken and spawned that came up
all through September, during what is called the summer or
early fall "run," but all the eggs that could be secured were
about 1,300,000, a little over one-tenth of what were taken
years ago in a less number of days during tbe same run.

Mr. Woodbury says the close season should begin by the
1st of August and continnue until the middle or last of Sep-
tember.

The salmon hatohery at Sissous has a capacity of forty-
four troughs sixteen feet long and Bixteen iDches wide.

There waR almost an entire o^ssation of Balmon passing up
the McCloud after tbe 1,300,000 eggs were taken in Septem-
ber. But there was an unusually large run of fall salmon
in the la*t of October and November, so that, by an unceas-
ing effort to get all tbe spawn that could be taken then by
Livingstone Stone^and his men at tbe McCloud hatchery,
something over 3,000,000 salmon eggs were secured. Of
these about 2,600,000, after being "eyed," were received at
the State hatohery at Sissona the first p.>rt of January. They
were hatched there and kept till they could swim aud be
able to handle themselves in the swift current of the Saoru-
mento. The distribution of these youug salmon was made
in (he latter part of March and tbe first two weekB of April.
They were put in the west fork of the Sacramento, Big
Spring creek, School House creek, Sulloway creek, and in '
lhe main Sacramento River (below the sawmills) from the
Upper Soda Springs down to Big Castle oreek.

There were about 600,000 Lake Tahoo trout hatched out
and distributed last September and October in the following
places: Squaw Valley creek. 20,001; Donner Lake. 100.000;
Fresno County streams, 300,000; Lake Tahoe. 245,000; South
fork American River, 20,000; Tiiylor creek. 25 000; Truckee
River, 105,000; South Yuba River,- 35,000; Shafer'B creek,
7,000; Richardson's creek, 7.000; Baker's civek and Lake,
5,000; Gilniore's Lake, 1,500; Luke Watson, 500.

DESCRIPTION.

JUDGE McKINSTRY is a bright bay with black

Eoints, 15J£ hands in beigLt, of a conformation com-
ining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for tli^-irgameness and fleetness, fcpeakin of
JUDGE McKINsTRY. Matt storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-hor^e I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has Bhown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He
was started in several races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well known to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us ti
name both sires.

Terms: $75 payable when the mare is moved from
ranch, or, 8103, with the usual privilege. Good pastur-

Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood, Duchess of Aorfolk|
Lou Spencer, the Great Emperor of Norfolk, an many
others. Marion's sire, Malcolm, was one of the firBt
horseB to bring Bonnie Scotland into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell crosB comes the blood of two of
the most celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these grea*
families seem to be concentrated In the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as iB instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who is afullbruther to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The bloo1! lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single croBB that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
is fair to assume that the get of this stallion will show
equally well with those ot past generations.

Eureka,- Jockey Club.
A letter from Mr. R. W. Rideout informs us that the
Eureka Jockey Club is now an incorporated body, with the
following officers: C. F. Roberts, president; H. M. Devoy,
vice-president; R. W. Hideout, secretary; C. G. Taylor,
treasurer: C. F. Roberts, H. M. Devoy, T. F. Ricks, R.
Gross, S. F. Pine, C. M. Dollison, Dan Murphy, Alex Cor-

Capital Turf Club.

On Monday next the Sacramento Association will begin
a weekB racing with a very large list of entries, and
everything points to a highly successful meeting. Hun-
dreds of persons are going from San Francisco to wit-
ness the sport, and as the Sacramento people are noted
for their generous support of anything in the raciDg Hue,
the attendance will be very large. A large number of
horses have gone up from Los Angeles, Fresno, San Jose
and San Francisco, and as there are new elements from
what were shown at the late Blood Horse meeting, the
guessing of the winners will be even harder than it was
at the Bay District. A special correspondent of the
Breeder and Sportsman will be on hand to give full
and detailed accounts of the sport, so that those who by
any possibility cannot attend, will be able to get accu-
rate accounts of the various contests in our next issue.

The horses will be on exhibition at tract from Saturday,
May 11th, until sale."

This is a particularly modeBt announcement when the
character of the horses are taken into consideration, for real-
ly the pamphlet fairly bristles with all the great blood lines
which have made this state so famous. Electioneer, Stam-
boul, Sidney, Valensin, Alcona, A. W. Richmond, Prompter,
Antevolo, in fact, any blood desired can be found among
the numerous entries in the catalogue. All persons inter-
ested in breeding should send to Messrs. Killip & Co. for
one of the catalogues, and see for themselves what first-class
stock has been placed in the combination.

The $20,000 Race.

Nevada State Fair.

All persons interested in running or trotting should
carefully read the preliminary advertisement of the
Nevada State Fair Directors. Tney offer very liberal
purses, and as Mr. Winters, the President, says, "We
don't bar nothing." The association is to be highly
commended for giving out such a programme, as the
legislature positively refused to render them any assis-
tance, and the Directors have bad to guarantee the
necessary amount of funds themselves. Nevada in the
past has given very successful meetings, and this one
should be no exception to the rule. There is every pros-
pect that quite a number of Eistern horses will winter
in California during the next cold season, and this meet-
ing at Reno will give the owners a chance to show the
merits of their horses prior to going into winter quarters.
Remember the running races close earlier than the trot-
ting and pacing races do.

Trotting Purses and Stakes.
The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Association
is now an assured fast, and the first announcement rela-
tive to purses and stakes appears in this issue of the
Breeder and Sportsman. It will be seen that the
largest purse is offered for the 2:20 class of stallions, and
very properly too, for if this had been made free for all,
there would in all probability have been two entries
only, Staruboul and Sable Wilkes. However, there are
to-day at least twenty stallions eligible for the 2-20
class, all of them so close together in speed, that this
will be the most interesting contest that has ever been
witnessed on the coast. It is also to be presumed that
the entries will be very large, for there is no one who
has had his stud in service this season that can afford to
miss making the entry, if simply for advertising pur-

The Directo. s have arranged for the payments of the
entrance money to be made in four equal parts, making
it very easy for those who will nominate. $2,000 is
offered for tho "free-for-all" class, and the same amount
for the 2:30 class. The two, three and four-year-old
trotters are not over- looked, handsome additions being
made to the stakes by the association. Read the condi-
tions carefully, and if not already a member of the P.
C. T. H. B. A., send in your name at once to the Secre-
tary, Mr. Wilfred Page, Penns Grove, Sonoma County.

An Announcement.

"The following notice appears as an introduction to the cat-
alogue issued by Killip & Co. for their Second Annual Com-
bination Sale, which takes place at the Bay District track on

Tuesday, May 14th.

The catalogue (or the Second Annual Combination Sale,
while not extensive in numbers, contains some of the choicest
bred animals in the State. Particularly ia this the case with
the young Btallions offered. They are representative of the
speedieBt blood lines extant, and their high form warrants
the belief that they will make valuable animnls in the stud.
Pedigrees are given as fully as possible, and candid state-
ments will be made as to all facts within the knowledge of
the auctioneers. While not anticipating the splendid success
met with by the gentlemen who shipped their borseB East
witbiu the last /ew months, it is to be hoped the rtsult will
at least be satisfactory and eucourage the continuation of
these Bales, and thus afford our own people the opportunity
to sel9ct animals which will enable them to "breed up" and
still farther imorove the American trotter,

Now, that the directors of the Fair Grounds Association
have fully decided to offer the magnificent purse of $20,000
for a two and a half mile and repeat running race over their
track this fall, says the Fresno Republican, they should at
once make arrangements to not only thoroughly advertise
the race, but to do so as quickly as possible. This race is
not like the big puree and btake races of the East, that have
been run season after season for years, but it is a new thing,
and horsemen have taken no account of it in making up their
season's books. It is more than likely that there are a num-
ber of horsemen who will want to enter in this race aDd save
a particular horse for it. The stake to be run for is large
enough to justify them in doing this, and they should be
fully informed as to the date, terms and conditions of the
race, at the earliest possible moment. If, as has been an-
nounced, the entries for this race are to close July 1st next,
there remains but two short months in which to advertise it,
and this will be found entirely too short a time even if the
work is commenced immediately.

There is no doubt of the sneeess of this race if it is prop-
erly advertised, and while it will in a great measure advertise
itself efier awhile, it will net do so in the start. Ihe Fresno
association and the Fresno track are unknown to eastern
hoi semen. Being engaged in a business where there is
always more or less "jobbing" done, owners of race horses
will look upon this magniticent offer coming from an unknown
association with a degree of suspicion, unless it is accom-
panied by such guarantees that there can be no doubt but
what the money is up and awaiting the winners. Then,
again, the fact that the Fresno race course is far superior to
nine out of ten of the eastern courses must also be made
known in a way that will leave no room for doubt. It will
take rime to make these preliminary arrangements, and until
they are made no advertising can be done. The fair ground
directors haven't a minute to lose, and if they are wise they
will have their arrangements made and their printed matter
all ready by May 1st, and also have at least one, and, if
possible, two good wide-awake men on their way East with it
before May 2d. The association must work if they want to
make this race a success, and if the right kind of work is
done, and done in time, it will be the "making of the Fresno
fair grounds.

As predicted not long ago the prices obtained at the New
York Bale of California trotting stock were phenomenal, and
that there is already a reaction was shown last week when
Secretary of the Navy, Tracy, offered his choice collection j
from the Marshland farm under the auctioneer's hammer, '
Bays the Breeder's Gazette. Mambrino Dudley, the premier
stallion at Marshland, is a horse that has in no small degree
received the benefits of printers' ink, because Gen. Tracy,
like "Pa" Hamlin, is always ready to enter into a newspaper
controversy over the merits of any family of horses of which
he owns representatives, and even when there was no antago-
nist in sight, Gen. Tracy was willing to put before the public
some valuable information regarding the strains of blood that
predominated in the most prominent stallion on his farm.
Since he bought Mambrino Dudley a few years ago, the Wood-
ford Mambrino family has had no other such enthusiastic
champion as Gen. Tiaoy, and during the past winter he con-
tributed tooneof the turf journals a series of articles to show
chat in some respects Woodford Mambrino was the most pre-
potent stallion of which we have any record. Another thing
that made the public familiar with Mambrino Dudley was the
fact that after making a record close to 2:20 and being placed
in the stud he was put in training after the lapse of severa
years and given a mark of 2:19J, which performance by a
horse whose services as a sire were open to the public of course
gave him quite a boom. The wonderful prices that tbe Cal-
ifornians received for their colt trotters no doubt stimulated
Gen. Tracy in the matter of disposing of his stock at auction,
but while the result was eminently satisfactory from a finan-
cial stand-point, there was none of the fierce rivalry between
wealthy bidders that characterized the California sale, and in
no instance was this better shown than when Mambrino Dud-
ley waB offered, the price on him reaching only $C,000, which
is little enough for a stallion with a record of 2:19:;, whose sire
had a mark of 2:2H, and whose colts are already showing
well. It was a fair price only, not so much in proportion as
the sums brought by the rest of the stock; in the veins of
most of which ran the blood of this very stallion. Perhaps
this was because of the fact that the Woodford Mambrino
family is not esteemed so highly as it was a few years ago
when Patron set the trotting world afire by his three-year-old
performances, and then two years later went a mile id 2:14}
as a five-year-old, on which day he defeated Harry Wilkes.
It was the fashion in those days to see no "outs" in any-
thing that bore the blood of Pancoast, but the other trotters
by the son of Woodford Mambrino that were said to be fol-
lowing on the heels of Patron, Pericles, and Issaquena did
not materialize that fall, nor have they since come to light,
although they have been given three seasons in which to do .
so. Of course it was natural that what Patron did as a three-
year-old should set horsemen and breeders crazy about his
sire, for that horse was also a trotter, having a record of
2:21$, but there is no way of getting around the fact that the
Paocoast trotters have not shown up in the last three years,
and that is all there is to it. To say that the colts by Pan-
coast have been given all the advantages that accrue from
early training is superfluous, for of course every man that
owned one of them thought he might have another Patron,
and was willing to find out if such was tbe oase. It was
Patron's mile in 2:19£ as a three-year-old that sold Pancoast
for $28,000 at auction, Nutwood, a sire of the very highest
rank, going for $22,000 at the same sale, and the price of
Pancoast was a speculation based on what his get were going
to do. Had Mr. Shults placed Pancoast at public service
exclubiv-ly he could by this time have gotten back the pur-
chase price, and no doubt be has already seen a good portion
of it return, and bis action in payiug such a price for a stal-
lion was a plucky one that deserved success. Perhaps it
was because of the diminished fame of Pwncoast that his half
brother Mambrino Dudley went for $6,000, but at all events
the figures show for themselves that just now the blood that
auction buyers will pay fancy prices for is that of Eleotioneerv
Stamboul and Sidney, all Papitio Coast stallions.

The Corbitt Brood Mares.

A. few days ago, at the invitation of Dr. Bowhill, the veter-
inary surgeon, a representative of the Breeder and Sports-
man accompanied him to San Mateo, and while in the neigh-
borhood, thought it a favorable opportunity to make a call
at the well-known stock frtrin of William Corbitt, Esq., the
fame of whose brood mares is now world wide. The San
Mateo Stook Farm has been, written up so often that it would
Beem there is nothing else to be said in relation thereto, but
as Mr. Corbitt keeps buying and selling continuously, one
can hardly expect to make two visits to the farm and find on
his second visit exactly what he saw on the first. Having
heard that Mr. Corbitt had lately purchased Sweetness from
M. Saulsbury, we wanted particularly to see the grand old
mare in her new quarters, and find out if she had foaled yet.

"Is Mr. Corbitt at home?"

"Yob, sir; you will tind him atthe correls examining the
colts."

A short walk brought t\s in view of the owner of theBe
magnihcent acres, and we were soon saluted with a hearty
"Good morning" and a cordial shake ot the hand from both
Mr. Corbitt and his able superintendent, Mr. John Gold-
smith. There are so many visitors that daily go to this cele-
brated farm, that a few extra ones never occasions a surprise.
Apologies for our intrusion will not be listened to, and we are
at once taken to look at the stallions, who are more comforta-
bly housed than many perBona in comfortable circumstance.
Theowner has spared no money in fitting up quarters for his
royally bred studs, and they are in great contrast to many of
the stables in which the writer has seen valuable stallions
kept. Everything was in apple-pie order, and as clean as a
new pin. The gnat sliding door on the stall of Guy Wilkes
was rolled to one side, and there stood as grand a blooded
animal as ever drew breath. While Mr. Corbitt and the
scribe were discussing the merits of the great stallion, Mr.
Goldsmith and the doctor were busy examining "his leg."
It took but a moment for all four of us to get down on our
knees, and the arguments pro and con, flew backward and
forward, while the skilled veterinary was pinching here and
pressing there, taking into consideration everything in con-
nection with the affected part. After a careful sorutiny, the
opinion was given that there was no injury to the flexor
tendons or the suspensory ligament, and that a windgall was
the oause of the trouble. It would have looked an odd Bight
undoubtedly, if a stranger had come along and peeked into
the stall as we all kneeled in close proximity to the leg, look-
ing like a lot of Wiseaces, yet all anxiously waiting for a
decision. There stcod the grand horse quiet and gentle as a
lamb, poking his nose first at one and then at another, won-
dering, no doubt, what all the fuss was about. When the
inspection was through, hiB various points were examined
and commented on. He stands nearly 16 hands in height,
probably a shade over 1,100 pounds in weight, rangy, very
stylish, grand head, with a face full of intelligence. He has
tine powerful shoulders, with a perfectly turned neck; well
barrelled, excellently quartered, plenty of power and muscle,
well formed legs, and for his large size, has not a grain of
coarseness about him. In addition to all this, be has the
great faculty of producing speed, and there was not a single
one of his colts seen but what had remarkably good legs. In
a Bire this is a very potent factor, and makes him one of the
most favored sttilliotis iu the State, for he has served this
season the cream of the brood-mares of California. But that
put the writer in mind he did not propose to say anything
about the stallions, it was the brood-mare we oame to take a
look at. However, our host would not be denied, we muBt
take a look at Sable Wilkes, and we found the black beauty
in the best of spirits. Want of space forbids a description, or
opinion of him at the present writing, but attention will be
paid to him hereafter.

A look was taken through the stalls where Mr. Goldsmith
has the trotters, which are in training, and a finer lot of
youngsters were never witnessed in one stable. Reports have
reached town about the very fast colts and fillies which were
at the farm, aud if looks do not altogether belie, the rumors
are not exaggerated. It was with very pardonable pride that
Mr. Goldsmith phowed us from stall to stall, expatiating on
the merits of each individual, and telling us of quarters
and halves which are fast enough to beat anybody's horses.
And now we hie away to the paddocks where the great moth-
ers are. Can you fancy five mares and five colts, only a few
days old, representing a fortune? That is what the first
6eld contained, just look at the names, Sweetness, dam of
Sidney, 2:19£, with a colt at her side by Director; Ruby (full
sister to Stamboul) with filly by Guy Wilkes; Sable (dam of
Sable Wilkes, 2:18), with blly by Guy Wilkes; Margaret,
2:28, by Sultan, has a colt by Guy Wilkes; while laBt, but by
no means leaBt, we find Hattie by Electioneer, with a filly
at her foot by Guy Wilkee. Is it likely that anyone can find
in oQe field five as well bred mares in the world? Mr. Corbitt
has gone at the breeding problem in the proper manner, he
knew he had two good horses (Arthurton andlrvington} when
he first started in the busiuesB, and he made up his mind
that the next necessary essential, was the highest type of
brood matrons that money could procure, so no expense was
spared, and from all over the United States the best combined
strains of blood have been secured, until to-day the pro-
prietor of the San Mateo Stock Farm can say that there are
but very few, if any, breeders in the country that can
show such a collection of well bred mares. On leaving the
first field where the grand and stately five were snckling their
young, visits were paid to any number of adjoining fields,
each containing its quota of the richly bred dames, and from
time to time we have pointed out to us some illustrious
individual, daughters of producers and producers themselves.
Two daughters of Nutwood are in one field. Vixen out of
Sister, (dam o* Albert W. 2:20) and Tabbie Rosenbaum, a
finely proportioned mare that will surely mane a grand name
for herself. Doctor Bowhill, at one field exclaimed, "why
there is a perfect picture of Beautiful Bells."

"Yes," said Mr. Corbitt, "that ib Atalanta, a full sister to
Beautiful Bells."

In still another field wejfind t; at very fast trotting mare,
Mamie Comet, 2:23:1-, but who has been driven in 2:17 since
she oame into Mr. Corbitt's possession, and Mr. Goldsmith
feels confident he could drive her in 2:15. La Grand and
Arthurton mareB are scattered in profusion throughout the
various fields, aud. with their foals by their side, afford a
picture that is worth a great deal of trouble in going to see.
One thing that strikes the observer particularly is the muscu-
lar legs that all the youngsters on the farm show, there not
being a single instance where exception could betaken to
the "underpinning" of the foals. In conclusion, we must
thank the owner for the very hospitable manner in which
we were entertained, not forgetting Mr. Goldsmith for the
trouble and bother he was at in showing us bis particnlrr
favorites; and bear this in mind, at least one, and perhaps
two, records will be broken this season, aud the San Mateo
Farm will produoe the horse to do it,

Great Auction at Bakersfield.

The Breeder and Sportsman, as opportunity has offered,
haB been very pleased to call attention to the grand poten-
tialities resident in that tract of 8100 square miles known as
Kern County, at the extreme southern portion of the San
Joaquin Valley, and the full page advertisement of Messrs.
McAfee and Baldwin which appears elsewhere may be made
the reason for another brief mention of what is without ex-
ception one of the richest portions of the State. MesBrs.
McAfee and Baldwin, by order of Mr. J. B. Haggin, offer por-
tions of the Mountain View Dairy, Greenfield's Ranch, Cot-
ton Ranch and Jewett Ranch, and also a line of desirable
lots and blocks in Bakersfield, adjacent to which most de-
sirable place of residence the farming lands offered are situ-
ated. The desirability of farming lands may be said to de-
pend upon four or tive features, climate and healthfulness,
transportation, water and essential richness of soil. In all
these particulars, Kern County offerings are so superior as to
fairly entitle them to the utmost prominence. The rainfall
is slight, but an ample aud unfailing Bupply of water is ob-
tained from Kern River and from Artesian wells. The flow
of the river is sufficient in volume to insure a depth of three
inches of irrigating wt>ter per month to all the lands of Kern
Valley, a quantity much more than enough to make every
foot of the rich warm alluvium of the valley to blossom per-
petually. For more than three-quarters of the year, the
climate is delightful, the temperature being uniform and
not oppressive. Iu the other months it is quite warm, but
a dry and invigorating heat that never deters" from out-door
labor, and the nights are always cool.

The death rate of Kern is very low, being but about 14 to
the thousand. Means of transportation are adequate and
readily acoesBible, the Southern Pacific Company's trunk
line running through the center of Kern Valley.

There is al*o the Atchieoc, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
way running 56 miles into the coanty, and connecting with
the Southern Pacific at Mojave. It cannot be denied that
the San Joaquin Valley is a "dry country," but the same
power that decreed the dryness haB also placed a super-
abundant supply of water within easy reach by artificial
meanB. The finest belt of artesian wells in the world are
already flowing from a few hundred thousand gallons to
2,500,000 per twenty-four hours each in many parts of the
county, and there is beside a large supply of irrigating water
from Kern River brought by caDals to every part of the
valley. There are more than forty canals in Kern Valley,
aggregating three hundred miles in length, and covering a
half million acres of the valley. On the irrigated lands
Alfalfa gives four or five crops a year, an average of two tons
per crop, beside pasture. The cost of irrigating has been re-
duced to from three to one cent per acre nnder favorable con-
ditions. Of the ranoh property offered, parts of Greenfield's
Ranch of twenty full Bections is not the least desirable. The
ranch begins nine miles south of Bakersfield, and embraces
12,800 acres of rich alluvial deposit, a sandy loam, with
water everywhere for the soil, the stock, and domestic ubob,
of excellent quality and inexhaustible abundance. Apples,
peaches, plums, apricots, pears, nectarines, all berries and
all citrus fruits are now growing on the ranch, reaching
great size, superior color and flavor, and good firmness for
shipping purposes.

Part of Mountain View Dairy, another piece offere J, embraces
5,280 acres, l.'U miles southwest from Bakersfield, is similar
to Greenfields in soil, has all possible advantages in situation,
productiveness and water supply, and is already under high
culture, particularly in a dairy way. The Cotton Ranch, the
third splendid offering, is smaller, being but 729 acres on the
northern line of Bakersfield. Kern river runs along the
north western boundary of the Cotton Ranoh for a mile, and
the Farmer's canal with the Jewe't ditch furnishes plenty of
water, although su>>-irrigation f.om the river, canal and
ditch is such that but little surface water is needed. The
ranch is all improved, most of it being in alfalfa. The serials
and root crops have proved enormously remunerative upon
the ranch, and all fruits do well there.

All that can be said in favor of the ranches mentioned
applies equally to the Jewett Ranch, the fourth place now
offered, and of all the places it may be said that they are
well fenced, accessible by good roads, most favorably situated
and in every way desirable as home places.

Of Bakersfield, either as a place of residence, merely, or as
a city in which to invest speculatively, it may be said that it
is by odds the most attractive in Southern California. The
streetB are well shaded by ornamental trees, the situation is
pleasant, accessible and healthful. It is the most conven-
ient point of access to the railroad for the products of Kern
Valley; it is well supplied with stores, and all the mechanical
trades are carried on. Its court-house and school-house are
among the finest in the State. The water supply is ample
for all uses, and for protection against fire. It has one of
the best hotels outBide San Franoisco; and what is of not less
importance than anything else, it has a pushing, energetic,
broadminded, generous, public spirited hodyof business men
in whose hands its future is assured. Social conditions are
most attractive, Bnd the city cannot but be the great oity of
the San Joaquin Valley.

Messrs. McAfee & Baldwin have made arrangements by
whioh people can go to and from Bakersfield at nominal rates,
and the trip will do so mncu to open up the minds of those
who have never visited Kern County that is well worth the
taking, even if no purchase be made, while as a business pro-
position it is very attractive.

The sale begins on May 14th after steamer day, and a large
number of business men can and should attend and Becure, a
holding >n what will soon be the tiden o( California.

A Fault of Figures.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I um made to say, in
regard to the selling of California bred horses in last wetk's
paper, within the year an offer of $15,500 has been refused
for a great California favorite. My recollection is that I
wrote $75,000, as the fuct as to the offer refused was current-
ly stated. Figures wou't lie — not if they know it; but the
types do hoodoo them occasionally. My next raise will be
$100,000, and I thiuk that I can safely call upon your corre-
spondent. Mr. Thos. B. Armitage, to bear me out in case auy
body undertakes to nut me in. J. O'M.

Santa Rosa, April 30, '89.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Being familiar with the
circumstances of the case mentioned by "Regular Reader" in
the number of April 20th, I deem it but justice to a moht
worthy person to state the facts of that case fully that, you
and the reading public may better judge of the legal or
moral meiits of tbe question.

In October, 1SS7, A leased fromB a mare to breed for two
seasons. The conditions for the first season were that B
guaranteed that tbe mare should be with foal. If not with
foal A should pay nothing. The conditions for the second
season agreed upon were that A should breed the mare at his
own risk, and that the stipulated price should be paid by him
whether she was with foal or not. It was further agreed that
the expense of keeping the mare should be paid by A.

In August, 188S, the mare foaled and the price was paid.
It being so late in the season A was reluctant about breeding
the mare, but B, not wishing to loose the use of a valuable
brood-mare, proposed to A to take her off his hands and
release him from all risk or obligation for the second season,
but with a full understanding of the terms and of the chances
to be taken. A concluded to breed the mare again, and did
so at the proper time, and the mare was handled during tbe
season following the foaling of her colt iu a manner calcu-
lated to secure the desired result.

On February, 1889, it was discovered that the mare was not
in foal. A was notified accordingly, and asked by B to go and
see the mare and satisfy himself, as he desired to breed the
mare. A replied that he would not give his permission, and
that if B did breed the mare he would claim an interest in
the colt. On the 21st of March, nearly eight months after A
had bred the mare, she was sent away by B to be bred.

Is it to be presumed that the season in which A was to
have the chance of getting the mare in foal is to extend on
and on indinnitely for months and years till A finally gets a
colt? The terms of the contract, both expressed and implied,
were that A should pay so much for the chance ot getting
the mare in foal during the season of 18S8, following the
time the mare foaled. Does ii not conform with common
sense, with reason and justice aud the practise of horsemen
to assume, as B did, that A's season for breeding was limited
to tbe three or four months following the time of the mare's
foaling.

The case is similar to a man breeding a mare to a stallion
for the season. When the breeding season ends he is done,
and no man is foolish enough to attempt to hold the owner
of the stallion responsible for the failure of his mare lo get
with foal after the season is ended and he has paid his
money for the privilege of breeding during the season.

B complied with the terms of the agreement, A bred the
mare during the season, got what he paid for, the chance of
a colt, and when B bred the mare in March, 1889, he in no
way injured A nor infringed upon his rights. Has A any
"legal or moral" right, after getting what he paid for, to at-
tempt to prevent B from breeding his mare for the next
season?

Has A any "legal or moral" right, after getting all that he
contracted for, to attempt to get back his money by threaten-
ing to deprive B of the use of his mare for another teasoD?
With this plain statement of the facts, I submit the case.

Alexander Button.

Alexander's Record, 2:3t 1.4!

DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; stands 15-15i' hands high; weighs
1,20a poundB.and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of 2:2SM, and when
four years old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of 2:26 J^. Haa been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been drive a last half in I :u .
Alexander Butt»n is a natural trotter, inherited
through tbe speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
hiB speeJ to hiB offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 15 heats, nevt*r
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosle Die, as a five-year-old. rarely ever breaks; has
a record of 2:209*'. B. H.Newton's colt, with very little
ba- dling, paced a 2 ;16 gait, and there are several other
coitB that show gaits from 2 16 to 2:20. Considering
that Aljxander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, he iB the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1889.

The Trotters at Butte City, Montana.

An old friend of the Breeder and Sportsman, passing
through. Montana, paid a visit to Butte City, and sends a lot
of news which will be found of interest to those who attend
the Montana circuit. He Bays: Here I am away up in the
mountaii s, 6.000 feet above the sea level, but in the midst of
atmosphere that must be good for man and beast. The air is
very invigoratiog, light and pure, and seems especially pre-
pared for this favored Territory.

From all I can see, this is bound to be a great horse section,
as there are quite a number of gentlemen who have gone into
the business methodically, and it will not be long ere the
fame of Montana will equal that of any oiher State in the
Union for its wonderful breeding farms. It is only those
who have fortunes that can go into the business and buy the
best blood in the country, but in this speculative neighbor-
hood there are a number who love horses dearly, and as they
are fortunate enongh to have plenty and to spare of this
world's goods, have invested largely at late sales, and are now
ready to reap the reward of their outlay.

Within the past twelve months the Hon. Marcus Daly, who
owns a farm of 3.000 acres in Bitter Boot Valley, has ex.
pended over $150,000 in blooded stock, and when the balance
of the purchases are forwarded, there will be but very
few stables in the country that can show such an aggrega-
tion of speed as will be centered there. Last fall the gentle-
man purchased the game and speedy mare Favonia, who at
Buffalo last year made her record of 2:15 under the able hand-
ling of Scott "Qainten, the well known driver of Trenton, N.
■J. Favonia is now ten years old, and her owner thinks that
with ordinary luck she should reduce berreoord still further.
Senator, 2:23£, is a California-bred horse, by Echo 462, dam
the Senator Jones mare, she by "Winthrop Morrill 373.
Senator is a bay horse foaled 18S3, and made his record
Augrfayt 18SS, at the Butte City track. Lord Byron is a bay
colt oHwuar Tears old, who gives great promise of being a
very faBtirotter. He is by Gen. Benton, dam May Day by
WasBahickon; second dam Nora Marshall by Union. As a
three-year-old he entered the charmed circle, his record being
2:29, and from his work it may safely be 8aid that he will
lower it very materially between now and when the snow
flies. Hattie D. is an Electioneer filly, only three years old,
who made a record of 2:42 in her two year-bid form
at Helena, there being only one competitor against her,
Tempest Belmont, who was distanced in the first heat.
Hopes have been built very high about this filly, and
if she 'does not prove game, full of endurance and very
speedy, there will be great disappointment. The two-year-
old, Mascot by Stamboul, dam Minnehaha, is the grand gem
in this great circlet of trotting brilliants, and as everyone
knows was purchased by Mr. Quinten for Mr. Daly at the
New York sale of California trotters, for the enormous price
oF$26,000. It is believed that in time this magnificent
youngster will make a name for himself both on the track
and in the stud. There are many otheiB of leas renown at
the Bitter Hoot Farm, most of whom will be heard from dur-
ing the present year.

Among other breeders in this section largely interested in
the trotting question are Hundley & Clark, Harvey Bros.,
Morgan and Phil Evans, Noah Armstrong, Ed and Charley
Larribae, Dr. Anisden, and several whom I have not met yet,
bat all are doing well and prospering in the business, each
having several fast ones, and anxious to have the racing sea-
son begin so they may show what they can do in the way of
speed. At the track here there are a number of horses in
training, several of which are worthy of mention, bo I will
take them in turns ab I saw them. The first allotment of
Btalls are occupied by the horses belonging to Col. C. G.
Bradshaw, whose eloquence at the bar and on the forum has
given him a national reputation. The first one inspected

was the well known Charley Hilton, 2:17}, who gave the
spectators at Ihe Spokane meeting, last year, a- taste of what
he could do. Id an adjoining stall stood Fantasia, who made
her record of 2:25 on the northern circuit last season. She
is a fine bay mare, only eight years old, aDd is of the
improving order. You might whisper to the boys that
when they are figuring how many first moneys they will
win over in Montana this year, that th6y had better take
Hilton and Fantasia into their calculations. Much to my
astonishment and surprise, I found my old antagonist, John
Green, here with quite a stable, and I am pleased to say he
has "caught on" in good shape. Johnny is not one of the
kicking fraternity, but is very much put out jnst at present
about a squib that appeared lately in a Portland paper anent
the gelding Melrose, wherein it was claimed that the horse
had been sold, and sounded a note of alarm that in all proba-
bility the horse would be used as a ringer. Now John cliims
that Melrose has not been sold, nor will he be sold; and he
further says, Mr. Baker, of the Rural Spirit, has always
been one of the suspicious sort, but in this cass wholly
without reason; in fact, much as the suspicions were, when
at Salem, Oregon, last year, the driver of Conde was taken
out of his sulky for what was deemed suspicious handling of
his horBe, the new driver could not improve the position of
Conde, and his owner was almost heartbroken, for not a
word had ever been said against his work before, and the
chances are that it will be a long time before he gives the
Portland paper a chance to bandy his name as a by-word and
reproach, when there was no truth in the charge. News-
papers should have a care how they make charges without
being able to substantiate them, for, with their over amount
of zeal, much.harm may be done an innocent man. Well, to
the stables again. Johnny is looking first rate after his
sojourn in the land of sunshine and flowers, and, in answer
to my request, brought out Maud Singleton, a very promis-
ing mare, of whose speed I have heard a great deal. Mr.
Green drove her a quarter (after warming her Dp), the time
being excellent. She is very finely formed, can show much
better than a "30" clip, and has that easy, skimming motion
characteristic of all fast trotters. The nest to be looked at
was the bayjjeldiug Cbico, who has a record of 2:35, which
is no way near his mark, for with what little work he has had
this spring he can beat that time now. Mr. Green also has
a chestnut pacer which I think very highly of, and if he does
not collect the first money when the green pacers are called,
I shall be much mistaken. There is also another pacer
which he has in cnarge, called Ike McElso, hardly as good as
the one mentioned previously, but a good shifty animal, one
who will without doubt win his oats this saason. Last,
though not least, we come to the much talked about Melrose,
and John has confidently informed me that this year will
witness a great lowering of the gelding's record.

The adjoining stable is that of Commodore C. B. Jeffries,
the veteran trainer of Montana, of whom it is claimed that
he has done more to develop trotters tban any other ten men
in the Territory. He haB the celebrated Conde, 2:20, in hand,
and is making him do good, useful work. He has wintered
well, and is looking in splendid form just at present, taking
his x>reparatory spins with a relish. One of the moBt improv-
ing youngsters I have yet seen is Uton, who last year made a
record of 2:35. Still I fancy to-day he is showing more speed
tban any horBe on the track, and you need not be surprised,
Mr. Editor, if Ilton makes or lowers a "20" record in 1889.
The Commodore also has Ranchero Jr., a colt of grand
promise, with plenty of speed and great staying power. Vic-
tor is an aged stallion, without a mark, but I should judge
he oan gain brackets in about 2:25. Tarantala is the next to
be examined, and we find him a large, powerful Btailion, very
fast, and I fancy if he should enter in your Pacific Coast
Trotting-Horse Breeders 2:?0 stallion race, he would stand a
good chance of gaining one of the moneys. He seems a trifle

unsteady and very wilful, but his driver manages to handle
him all right, and will before long have ready for him the word.
Commodore Jeffries also has a number of young trotters on
which he haB built considerable expectation, and if careful,
steady, conscientious labor will produce good results, depend
upon it that the colls will be heard from later on.

CharleB Jeffries is a son of the Commodore, and alao has
several horses under his management, among them being
Evening Star, 2:50 at three years old, Doncastor, Jr., Mary
3., and quite a string of youngsters. They are all looking
and doing well, and as Charlie has the reputation of being a
careful, patient and reliable trainer, the hoists under his care
should give a good account of themselves.

"We now come to the stable of James Matheson, a young,
level headed man, whj has several colts which are being pre-
pared in a masterly manner, and developing good speed.

Taken all in all, there are about fifty horses in training at
Butte city, twenty at Anaconda, fifteen at Deer Lodge, and
about sixty at Helena, with several at Missoula, Bitter Root
and Great Falls,

The boys, here are very anxious to meet again Mr. Gonza-
les, Lee Shaner, B. C. Holly, G. Valensin, M. Saulsbory (not
forgetting the irrepressible Andy McDowell) and all the
others who came up last season, at the initial meetiDg at
Deer Lodge, August 7tb, wheu they promise to give you hot-
ter contests than ever before. The summer meeting is Jalv
2d, 3d, 4th and 5th: If this is acceptable, you will hear
again from

Trotter.

The Baldwin Trotters.

The following is part of a letter written from San Francisco
to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and goes to show how
much care the ordinary reporter takes in preparing copy.
Mr. Baldwin will be surprised to hear that his stock farm is
used for breeding trotters, and that he will shortly rank well
up with Palo Alto: —

Millionaire Baldwin now divides his time between this
city and his Santa Anita ranch. He looks a little grayer than
he did five years ago, but he seems as vigorous a3 ever. He
still owns about 60,000 acres of the finest land in the San
Gabriel Valley, and boasts of the most beautiful orange grove
in Southern California, as well as the largest and choicest
stable of thoroughbreds. During the great boom in land in
Southern California Baldwin sold about 5,000 acres at prices
ranging from $500 to $1,500 an aore for unimproved land.
He sold forty acres to Studebaker, the great wagon maker, for
$1,000 an acre. Upon his ranch at Santa Anita grew up sev-
eral large towns, with fine hotels and costly brick business
blocks. Baldwin, however, refused to sell any of the orange
groves or vineyards about his pretty chateau on the artificial
lake at Santa Anita, and every year adds to the beauty of
this great domain.

Here are the paddocks and stalls of his costly trotting
horses, with the circular tracks for exercise. The place has
never been so completely fitted up as Stanford's Palo Alto
stud farm, but much good work has been done there. Bald-
win told a friend of mine, when he fir it began to canter his
horses in races, that his sole reason for going on the turf was
to escape from the habit of stock speculation. He felt the
need of strong excitement, which the reckless gambling in
mining shares in San Francisco gratified, and the only sub-
stitute that he could think of was horse racing. He "was a
good judge of horses, and he believed the Southern California
climate, near the Sierra Madre Mountains, was better adapted
to breeding than any other in the State. He spent money
liberally on his stable, and all his beBt trotters were born and
bred at Santa Anita. His recent announcemrnt of his retire-
ment from the turf is regarded by his friends as a sign that
he has grown weary of the careB of managing a string of
valuable trotters, and that even the excitement of
large Bums on races has palled on him. If he dev t
to breeding, as he announoes that he will, bis sta
to rank well up to Palo Alto for his youngsters.

The Control of Sex In Breeding.

A very warm discussion is presently going on in the pages
of some of our American coutempararies respecting the occult
subject of regulating sex in breeding. The discussion has so
far been a very profitless one, and most of the theories pro-
pounded on the subject has been ridiculous in the highest
degree. As a sample of these, we may note that only the other
week a correspondent gravely stated in a leading American
stock paper that all that was wanted in order to produce
either male or female offspring at pleasure was to keep the
animals standing in a particular direction during the act of
copulation. How a keen-cut business paper like the Breed-
er's Gazette should have thought it worth while to pile up a
column of editorial ridicule on the top of such unmitigated
rubbish as that, is a point that passes ordinary comprehen-
sion, Another section of the writers on the subject have
insisted that any attempt to control the sex of the offspring
is a piece of presumptions dariDg, as the control of sex in
breeding is a Divine prerogative. But eurely this conten-
tion is tha height of absurdity, and it might be argued with
equal justice that any attempt to investigate the reproduc-
tive systems of plants or animals was a piece of presnmp-
tious daring, and an encroachment on a Divine prerogative.

It is certainly a noteworthy fact that the so-called New
World, where the ideas of the leading stock breeders and
stock writers on this subject are in sneh a chaotic state, is, at
the same time, the country in which the only reasonable
theory of controlling the sex in stock breeding was first pro-
mulgated, and promulgated, too, by a physiological authority
of the very highest standing. How true it is that a prophet
has no honor in his own country! The subject, however, is
one that has received a great deal of attention from many
medical writers of the greatest eminence. In very ancient
times Hippocrates, who has been well called the fathtr of
medicine, noted that the two testis in the male and the two
ovaries were analogous to each other, and he held that this
quality of parts in each sex must be intended for a particular
uee, as there was not in creation, and especially in the won-
derous machinery of the animal body, a single superfluous
or useless part.

No one, however, seems to have thought of working out
this idea until, some twenty years ago, a German physiciaD,
P. F. Sixt by name, worked it out in a very philosophical
way. He submitted his discovery, with all the details of his
experiments, to Dr. Trail, of New York, the eminent author
of the Hydrophatbic Encyclopedia, and many other well-
known works on madieal subjects. Dr. Trail examined Sixt's
theory minutely, and being convinced of its value, he bought
it up and published it him=elf. Briefly stated, Sixt's theory
is that the right testis produces male 'sperm-cells,' and the
right ovary produeea male 'germ-cells,' while the left testis
produces female 'sperm-cells," and the left ovary produces
female 'germ-cells.' The semen of the right testis cannot
impregnate the ovum of the left ovary, nor can the ovum of
the right ovary be impregnated with the semen of the left
testis. Sixt made numerous experiments himself to test the
accuracy of his theory, and Dr. Trail did the same, and in
every case the results were in strict accordance with the
theory. Incidentally, too, Sixt noted a pregnant fact recorded
by Mr. Sander, the Royal Danish Regimental Veterinary Snr-
geoD. "There has been," wrote Mr. Sander, "for three or
four years among the horses of the regiment, in spite of all
endeavors, and to the regret of the General, some pregnant
steeds after the time of pasture. It was known that this had
been the cnse several times at the same season, and the
watch was particularly active, no strange horses having been
admitted to the pasture grounds; and I tried to get at the
bottom of the matter, in which I was finally successful, for I
found that among the horses of the regiment there waB an
old stallion whose right testicle bad been taken out, and also
that the foals generated by him were fillies, every one of
them." But although in all the experiments made by Drs.
Sixt and Trail to test the theory the results in every case con-
firmed the theory, there were several cases communicated to
Dr. Trail, after the publication of the theory, in which the
results were conflicting. In these cases, however, it was
found that the reproductive function had been intentionally
performed as soon after the removal of one of the reproduc-
tive organs as the healing of the wound would permit. In
these latter cases the result might be easily and satisfactorily
explained if the theory were correct. We understand that
some years ago Dr. Trail entered on an exhaustive series of
experiments to test the theory in all its fullness; and perhaps
we may know now, before many weeks are over, whether the
theory has stood the test or not. — North British Agricul-

Colts That Trained On.

Under the caption of "colts that trained on, Pilot," in the
Sportsman, gives a Bhort synopsis of the doings of horses well
known to Californians, which will bear reprinting.

Oakland Maid was one of the most successful trotters ever
foaled. She was a gray mare, by Speculation, out of Lady
Vernon, who made a record of 2:31 at Sacramento, Cal., in
1855, and was bred by -Tos. Sessions, Brooklyn, Cal. In her
three-year-old form she won two races without stopping the
watches below three minutes, and was then retired until
1S73, when she received third money in a race won; by Ella
Lewis at Sacramento. As a six-year-old Oakland Maid
started in five events, all of which she won without losing a
heat. The first was trotted at San Francisco in September,
against Maysville QueeD, Lou Whipple, Oregon Jake, and
Muggins, and won in 2:31}, 2:28£, 2:30, At Sacramento, the
gray filly won three races in one week, the third being at two
mile heats which were rattled off in 5:01}, 4:57£. Oakland
Maid reduced her record to 2:26 iu the deciding heat of the
only race in which Bhe was started in 1875. In 1876 she
heard the bell ring twice, and secured winning brackets on
each occasion. Her second victory was a hard earned one,
her rivals be ng May Howard, St. James and George Treat.
May Howard won the first heat in 2:24.5-, Oakland Maid the
second in 2:27A, St. James landed the third in 2:24^ and
George Treat the fourth in 2:2"i. This gave each starter a
heat, but when the word was given for the fifth Oakland
Maid shot away from the field and won in 2:22i, and sur-
prised her opponents' friends by coming back again in 2:22
in the sixth heat. This proved her last victory, although
she waa started in two races in April, 1877, being defeated in
one by Occident, and in the other by Bodine. While in
.raining this mare started in 13 races, of which she won 10,
was second in two, and third in one. She trotted 44 heats In
her races, winniDg 29, 16 of which were finished in 2:30 or
better.

George Treat was a brown gelding by Dave Hill, by Black
Lion, by Vermont Black Hawk out of Kate, by McCracken's
Black Hawk, by Vermont Black Hawk, which made him not

only an inbred Morgan, but also gave him the qualities eesen-
tial in a colt trotter. He was bred in California, and did all
of his trotting in that State, his first race being trotted in bis
three-year old form at San Francisco, where he defeated five
foals of 1S68, and made a record of 2:53* in the second heat.
As a four-year-old he was started in eight races, the first
being trotted in May, when he won a six-heat race and re-
duced his record to 2:38} in the deciding heat. In Septem-
ber he was defeated by Regulator, Ajax and Moscow. He
also started in a team race, with Highland Mary for mate, and
was ontfooted by Ajax and Moscow. At Chico, however, he
dtfeated Regulator and May Howard in a five-heat race, but
afterwards finished third in a race won by the latter at Sacra-
mento in November.

In his five-year-old form George Treat was defeated in his
first two races by Sam Prudy, being distanced in both. He,
however, won a race at Marysville, but was afterwards
defeated by Westfield, May Howard and Ella Lewis. The
following season opened with a sensational race at Sacra-
mento, where George Treat was Btarted against Ella Lewis,
May Davis and Blackbird. The latter won the first heat in
2:27, and was cut loose in the second, being sent for a record.
He trotted in 2:22 and when he passed under the wire his
three competitors were beyond the distance stand. Sisson
Girl also defeated the Morgan gelding before he won a set of
brackets in 1875. At Stockton he threw down San Bruno
and Hope in a six-heat race, and cut his record to 2:27£ in a
fourth heat. After being defeated by May Howard in two
races, he also won a 6even-heat race.

George Treat won five out of 10 races in 1876, the first be-
ing trotted at San Francisco in April, when, after losiDg four
heats to Dirigo and Confederate, he went on and won.
Prince Allen and Gold Note had too much speed for him in
his next bids for the money, but at Stockton he disposed of
Dirigo and American Maid in straight heats, and after being
distanced by Chicago he won another race at San Francisco.
The race of his life waa also trotted at San Francisco that
year against May Howard, Stanford and Gold Note. May
Howard won the first heat in 2:24, but she could not carry
the clip and was behind George Treat in the next three,
which were finished in 2:25}— 2:27— 2:2S£. He also won a
race at Reno that year, and was defeated "by May Howard and
Oakland Maid before the close of the Beason.

The campaign of 1S77 opened at Chico in May in a race
with Brushy John, Alameda Maid and Sweet Briar. George
Treat won the first heat in 2:31|, but was defeated by the
Rappahannock gelding. At the same meeting he also won
his last race, it being trotted against Alameda Maid and
Dutchman. He was not retired, however, until November,
being defeated during the autumn circuit by St. James,
Tommy Gates, Confidence, Nutwood, Dirigo and May
Howard. While before the public George Treat was started
in 43 races, of which he won 11. was second in 11, third in
six, fourth in six, and unplaced in nine. He trotted 189
contested heats in his races, and won 50. As a three-year-
old he trotted in 2:53|, as a four-year-old in 2:35}, as a five-
year-old in 2:33£, as a six-year-old in 2;27£. and a seven-year-
old in 2:25}.

Ella Lewis was a bay mare got by the inbred Morgan stal-
lion Vermont, who had a record of 2:34, out of Kate
McDonough, She was bred by James McDonough, Willow
Springs, Cal., and began her turf career as a four-year-old,
her first appearance being in a $10,000 match race with Sam
Purdy. who distanced her in the first heat. That race waB
trotted in July. Two months later she started against
Jnpiter, Oakland Maid, Dutchman Frank, Swamp Angel,
American Maid arid Oregon Jack at Sacramento, and defeated
them in 2:30, 2:29f, 2:31}. After being defeated by West-
field she won another race at Sen Francisco from Ajax,
Jerome and George Treat, and closed the year by trotting
second to St. James in two races.

Ella Lewis' first race in 1S74 was trotted at San Francisco
in February, when she was defeated by Mollie Morris. In
April of that year she was defeated by Jerome and California
Dexter in two split heat races, while she won two races in
May, making her record of 2:27 in the second heat of a §4,000
match with California Dexter. In her next two races Ella
Lewis waB d stanced by May Davis and Blackbird, being in
the race in which the latter made his record of 2:22. In
1876 Ella Lewis was distanced by George Treat and Gold
Note, and trotted her last race at San Francisco in 1S79,
where she defeated St. Helena in a five heat race. Ella
Lewis was started in sixteen races, of which she won five,
was second in four, third in one, and unplaced in six. She
trotted fifty-eight contested heats, winning twenty-four, made
a four-year-old record of 2:29|, and a five-vear-old record of
2:27.

Corisande is a brown mare by Iowa Chief, son of Green's
Bashaw andTopsey, by Prophet, he by Vermont Black Hawk
out of a mare of unknown breeding. She was bred by Oos.
Tuplin, Lee County, la., and trotted her first race as a four-
year-old at Keokuk, where she defeated Red Fox. She waB
then retired UDtil 1877, when, after being defeated by Nelia,
Don and Lady McD., she was taken to California, whire she
won two races the following September. The first was trot-
ted at Sacramento agair,st Harry, Lady Emmett, Proctor and
Goldfinch, the last three being distanced before Corisande
made her record of 2:24£, in the third heat. Her last race
was trotted at Stockton, where she defeated Gibraltar, who
won the first heat in 2:27, Harry Abbottsford and Lady
Emmett in 2:26£, 2:26i, 2:27.

Whipple was a bay horse by Whipple's Hambletonian, out
of a mare of uuknown breeding. He trotted his first race as
a three-year-old at San Francisco, where he defeated Comet,
O. L., Marshall and Lady Babcock, and make a record of
2:52|. He was also defeated in a stake for foals of 1S67, by
San Mateo Maid. Whipple trctted his next race at Lexington
in 1876, with Midway Belle, Almont Jr., Lady Prewitt, Little
Brown Jug and Pilot Hutchinson, and won, reducing his
record to 2;34f. In 1877 he was defeated by Bashaw and
Nettie C , making his record of 2:33^ in his race with the
latter. In 1878 he was defeated by Essex Maid, Hambrino,
Joe Kellogg and Kitty Brites, and won his last race at Sharps-
burg, Ky., the following year from Kentucky Star and Lulu
Moore.

San Mateo Maid only heard the bell ring once. That was
in her three-year-old form when she defeated Whipple and
Lady Babcock, and made a record of 2:51, Lady Babcock
also secured a record of 2:57 in thi6 race, after which she
was retired to the stud, where additional honors awaited her.
To the cover of Electioneer she produced the bay horse
Elector, that made a record of 2:21} latt year, while in 1887
her black colt Soudan by Saltan, made a three-year-old record
of 2:30.

California Maid waa a gray mare by Hamilton Chief. She
was bred in California, and started at Sacramento as a three-
year-old, defeating Stockton Maid and Onward in 2:59* —
2:504. She also won a stake ran at San Francisco that sea-
son, distancing Lady Clara and Fanny in the first heat, which
was trotted in 2:46. As a five-year-old California Maid was
Btarted in four races, three of which she won, her single de-

feat being at San Francisco, where she was handicapped to
wagon, and won the third and fourth heats in 2:47— 2:48i.

The chestnut horse Onward, that defeated California Maid
in her four-year-old form, was defeated by her in his first
race, which was trotted in 1869, when they were three-year-
old:?. He also won a race at San Francisco without beating
three minutes, and afterwards won the first heat of a race
from Regulator in 2:36. As a four-year-old he was defeated
in two races by California Maid, and secured second money
in a team race won by Robin Rough and Joe.

Ventore is one of the few thoroughbred horses that have'
managed to place their names in the 2.30 list. He was a-
chestnut horse, got by California Belmont out of Mies Mos-
tyn, by American Boy, Jr. In the fall of 1S66 he was started
in a two-year-old race at San Francisco, and won it, defeating.
Lady Dooley and The Maid, and trotting the third heat in
2.54. Three years later he was started in a two-raile heat
race over the sameirack against Haivest Queen, who finished
behind him in 5:12^—5:15. Two months later the pair met
again in a race for $10,000 at Alameda. The track was very
heavy and time slow in the race, which the daughter of Ham-
bletonian won without beating 2:40. After this defeat Ven-
ture was again started at San Francisco, where he disposed
of Ajax in slow time.

Venture's first race in 1S70 was trotted at Sacramento
against Alexander, Blackbird, and F. F. Low. The first and
second heats were won by Alexander, and the next two by
the chestnut stallion. Eoff then began to move up with
Blackbird, and after winning the fifth heat distanced Ventur
in the sixth. At the same meeting Venture was distanced
in a two-mile heat race by California Dexter, who also de-
feated him in a three-mile heat race at San Francisco one
month later, the two heats being trotted in 8:10} — S:29.

After a retirement of four years Venture was again placed
in training in 1876, and started at Sacramento in a field of
eleven horses. He was distanced in the second heat by
Sweetbriar, who was defeated in the race by Tommy Gates.
Two weeks later he again tcok the word in a stallion race at
San Francisco, where he won the first heat in 2:29, but was,.
together with Alexander, Billy Haywood and Jim Lick, de-
feated in the race. Venture won his last race at San Fran-
cisco, October 10th, 1876, the fastest heat being trotted in
2:31£. The following season he was defeated by Dirigo and
Nelly Patchen, and made his record of 2:27i.

Lady Dooley was a brown mare by one ot the Morgan stal-
lions taken to California. As a two-year-old sbe was defeated
by Venture after vanning a beat in 3:00. She was then
retired until 1S69, when she made one of the most memor-
able five-year-old campaigns on record. The first start was
made at San Francisco in Jnne, when she finished second to
the pacer Dick Gongh. Five days after her defeat she
reversed the decision iu a two-mile heat race. In the fin
trip she trotted a dead heat with Unknown in 5:25}. She
won the second in 5:23, and the race in 5:26, after Dick
Gough had secured the fourth heat in 5:21}. The two met
again in a race at three-mile heats the following week, and
Eoff again landed the filly under the wire first in 8;29£, S:32£.
After defeating Pride of the Bay in straight heats, Lady
Dooley was for the fourth time started against Dick Gough
and Unknown. This time the race was at four-mile heats,
and the filly wbb again victorious in 11:05. 11:084.

After the above race Lady Dooley was given a rest until*
September, when she tTOtted three r«ces in one week at Sac-
ramento. In the first she defeated F, F. Low, Plumas and
Alicia Mandeville, and reduced her record to 2:38}. She
then defeated Pride on the Bay and Regulator in a two-mile
heat race, and was in turn distanced the following day in a
five-mile dash, won by Democrat in 13:57 1.

J. E. Turner's first great mare May Qaeen, who was sold
to J. Gallon in 1867, and taken to California, defeated Lady
Dooley in two races in 1869, and was also defeated by her in
the races in which the stout-hearted filly made her record of
2:31§. Regulator also defeated Lady Dooley in 1869. In
1S71 Lady Dooley made her last appearance in two races won
by Harvest Quten. She was distanced in both events,
although she managed to win a heat in 2:35$.

The Maid was one of the two fillies that started against
Venture in his first race. She was a gray filly of unknown
breeding, and was retired until 1870 after her unsuccessful
attempt to defeat the thoroughbred trotter. In that year she
was defeated by Nora McNeil and Jas. Eoff's mare Don't
Bodder Me, and also won her only race at San Francisco,
where she defeated a field of four, the fastest heat being
trotted in 2:54. In 1871 she was defeated in two wagon
races by Connefs, and made her record of 2:35Hn a. dead
heat with Lady Signal.

Alicia Mandeville was a bay mare of unknown breedirg;
that was placed in training as a four-year-old and wot; a race
at Sacramento, Cal., iu the fall of 1S64, defeating Brown Mack
and Ben FraukliD, trotting the first heat in 2:44$. Two years
later she finished second to the Ethan Allen mare, Robs Liv-
ingston, in a race at;San Francisco, and was also defeated by
the gray hoise, Gen. Taylor, in the last race he placed under
his name. After being defeated by Princess and Lady Dooley
in 1869, she was retired.

Both Brown Mack and Ben FraukliD, who were defeated
by Alicia Mandeville in their four-year-old form, trained on.
In 1870 Mack finished second to Sorrel Ned in a lace at
Sacramento, and made his last appearance two years liter on
the same track, when be defeated Paddy McGee, trott'ng tie
deciding heat in 2:36£. Ben Franklin trotted three races
1867, beiDg defeated by Flora in the fifth and April Fool
the third. In the second he disposed of Fly by Night and
Kentucky Hunter, six heats being trotted before he secured
the honors and a record of 2:44}.

Foul Sheath in Horses.

There is nothing, sayB a practical farmer, that pulls a horse
down faster than foul sheath. Farmers and all having charge
of horses should know that it is no hard matter to clean.
The best way is to feed good wholesome food, that will pre*
vent disease, but that cannot always be done, and then we
have to resort to a cure, which I find generally a very easy
matter. Pare the nails of the right hand smooth, and take
aB much clean lard, free from salt, as caa be held by the
point of the finger and thumb; insert the hand to the bottom
of the sheath, and, as the hand is withdrawn, leave all the
lard. Repeat the operation two or three times at intervals
of about two days, and my experience is that in nine cases
out of ten the horse will be all right. If not, waBh out care-
fully with lukewarm wateT, but it is a bad plan to use the
water in very cold weather. I am now nearly three score
year old, but never saw a foul sheath until about 25 years
ago, and I find now, when my horses are fed on good puie
hay, or well-cured fodder, free from all mold or dust, that
they are not troubled; but, while feeding hay, it is ne^t to
impossible to keep them clean. I have never seen a horse
troubled with that disease while fed on good corn fodder.

Stable Winnings.

It may be interesting for oar readers to know how much
the different stables won during the past meeting of the
Blood Horse Association. While the sums won may seem
very largo in several instances, the expenses beyond doubf
are also something stupendous, so that the sums given can
not be considered as clear profit by any means. The largest
winner of the meeting was Theodore Winters, The Czar
bringing in $5,260, while Jon Jose won $200. Palo Alto's
Eacine puts to the credit of the farm $3,610; Geoffrey, $475;
Faustine, $425; Brutus, §300; Pliny and Muta $50 each.
W. L. Appleby's stable won as follows: White Cloud, $450;
Wild Oats. $475; Lady HeleD, the property of T. Williams,
but trained in the same stable, $300. L. V. Sbippee polled
down $150 with Farsalara, $50 with Songstress. Mr. Gar-
land was only fortunate to win $50, and that by Emotion
coming in second to White Cloud. The Santa Anita Stable
placed to its credit $475. divided among the horses this way:
Atalanta $425, Alaho and Florilla $25 each. J. B. Chase,
although he had several fast horses, could only win $25,
and that with the promising two-year-old Marigold. Kelly
& Samuels were lucky enough to win $6S4 with Welcome,
while El McGinnis added to their exchequer $650. The
Maltese Villa Stable, owned by R. Porter Ashe, had the
fleety Geraldine to win $500, Flood Tide $765, and the old
geldiog secured $50. The Golden Gate Stable usually very
fortunate, had little or no luck this spring, as all they have
to their creriit is $86, won by Laura Gardner and Black
Pilot. Nerva won $50 for the Elmwood Stable, being the
only one that came 1, 2, 3. Col. H. I. Thornton gets $100
by Keata. while Joe Hoge added to the stable's credit $75.
Longahotbroughtjhis owner Mr. McBride. $20 in place mouey.
Mat Stoma won $400 with the gelding Kildare. A. D. Har-
rison's Hello was a winner to the tone of $250. Moses B.
proved good enough to win $50. Bessie Shannon gladdened
the heart of John Reavy $200 worth. Cy Mulkey only
managed to draw $50 by Tom Dalv coming in second. Capt.
H. H. Hobbs won with Duke Spencer $175. C. V. Topper
would have lost considerable, but Guido proved himself fast
enough to win $515.

A Gift Golt Barns $100,000.

The San Francisco correspondent of the Chicago Tribune'
tells the Btory of how a gift colt made $100,000 for Lis owner:
"A breeder of trotting stock who can get a colt for nothing,
keep him seven years, make money with him every season
afterjbe becomes two years old, land then sell him for $50,000,
may be classed as successful, if not fortunate. Such a man
is L. J. Rose, owner of Rnsemeade Farm, near E. J. Bald-
win's ranch in San Gabriel valley. In 1869 Mr. Roae bought
of George C. Stevens, of Milwaukee, three yearling fillies,
Minnehaha, Maggie Mitchell and Barbara, the yearling colt
Overland, a yearling gelding by Clay Pilot, and the two-year-
old colt The Moor. With these he began breeding in Cali-
fornia. Among the offspring of The Moor was the stallion
Sultan, out of Sultana, by Delmonico. Saltan was at the
head of Mr. Rose's stud in 187S. Since then he has been
sold to Kentucky parties for $17,000. In 1878 John W.
Maokay of "Bonanza" wealth and fame sent the mere Fleet-
wing, by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, to Lob Angeles to be bred
to Sultan. She had three foals by him. In 1880 the foal
was a brown filly afterward known as Ruby, with a five-year-
old record of 2:19|. Mackay liked the filly and announced
his intention of keeping and training it. "When the ownerof
Sultan said he would, like to have Fleetwing's next colt the
answer was: "All right; you may have it. Consider it
yours." In 1882 Fleetwing foaled a brown coit. Mr. Rose
named the colt Stamboul. As a yearling he was given a little
work. The next year he was trained and acquired a record
of 2:37. Then in successive years he made records of 2:16£,
2:23, 2:17£, 2:14£, In February of this year he was sold to
W. 8. Hobert of San Francisco for $50,000. In March Mr.
Rose took twenty-two of Stambool's colts to New York and
sold them at public auction for $88,375, an average of $4,017.
Stamboul's individual earnings since he was two years old,
including winnings and stud fees, at a low estimate amount
to 517.000. which gave a yield of $67,000 on an investment
of two years' keep — not over $100 — and $150,000 when the
proceeds of his stock are added. Give the blood of the brood
mares in the colts as extravagant a valuation as $50,000, and
Fleetwing's colt, whioh Mr. Rose obtained as a gift, has a
clean $100,000 to his credit at Rosemeade. The history of
horse breeding in this country presents no parallel to this
remarkable case.

A Peculiar Match.

[BY liLEU CaIUK.J

"Race-hosa man, I reckon?" The words were uttered in
Bharp, genial tones, as a heavy leathern valise was plumped
down in the seat opposite mine, for I was journeying from
Memphis to Louisville, and I had just stopped at one of those
little way Btations that dot every Southern railway at close
intervals. I looked quickly up and saw a man Bomewhat
over the middle age standing in the aisle-way looking down
on me with a half amused and wholly inquiring expression
on his broad, jolly countenance. He was dressed after the
manner of the typical Southerner, and in his general air
there was that which said to the stranger as plainly as
words, "Here is a fellow who has knocked around some,
and seen a good deal of the battle." His face waa clean-
shaven, and the broad brim of his cream-colored hat shaded
a pair of fearless bine eyes, which peared out beneath heavy
gray lashes.

"Somewhat," returned I, briefly. "I sized you op for
one, stranger, said the new comer, as he proceeded to take
possession of the vacant seat. "I most always take a squint
round for my kind wnen I get aboard the cars. Smoke?"
and he produced a well filled case of excellent Havanas. His
manners overcame any feelings of reserve that I might have
had, so I accepted the proffered weed, and as I settled my-
BeU comfortably back in the corner of the seat, propounded
the question that so often proves a stickler in every walk of
life. "How did you know 1 was connected with horsee?"

A knowing smile light up his features. "Why, I reckon
if I ain't able to pick 'em out now I never will be," said he,
with the complacent air of one who knew what he waa talk-
ing about. "Oh, no! I ain't been in this Southern county
twenty years for nothing."

' Have you been Urgely connected with racehorses?" I in-
quired.

""Well, I should articulate the affirmative. "Why, Btranger,
(I don't know your name), I have raced all the way from
Mobile to Brighton Beach and all the way back again in the
fall, and that more than once. I've been dead broke a

thousand miles away from home, and I've won many a dol-
lar here and there. Yes, I have had maoy ups and downs,
but I'm all right now;" and he took a long pall at his cigar
and watched the smoke meditatively as it corled up toward
the ceiling.

"Been in many a tight place and seen a good deal of the
inside workings, "I remarked.

* "Sure as you are born, and plenty of sport besides. I
could tell you some curious things that have happened to
me at differant times. I remember pulling up one winter at
Mobile. I had been playing to light houses all along the
line, and had only a few old skates left in the string. All
the rest of 'em had gone in the box exceptin' the old mare
Sunshine, and she was in soak up to New Orleans for the
feed bill. In them days a fellar could always get a match on
in most any Southern town, and could keep a^oin' that way,
but what beat me was I had nothing tit to run an eighth, not
to talk of goin' half-mile heats, which was the popular race.
Things began to look pretty blue. I didn't know a soul in
the town that I could strike for a loan, so I moved my nags
out to a farm-house, and made a dicker with the farmer to
stay there all winter. I had old Orange Blossom then, like
enough you've heard of him, bot he was away off, and
couldn't work fast enough to keep himself warm. Well, I
used to ride him into town every day and hitch him in front
of Martin's place. Then I would loaf around for hours just
waiting for some one that I kaew to turn-up. There was
plenty of sharks round, but I kept clear of that gang, and
only knew one or two just slightly. One thing I noticed
particularly, was the attention a few of them seemed to pay
to the old horse, and after awhile I figured it that they
thought I had something awful fast, and was laying for a
good match, so I made up my mind that they wonld make a
move before long. It happened that I was in town later
than usual one evening, and it was just about dosk when I
started for home. I hadn't got much over a mile when I
heard some one hollerin.' I polled up quickly, and over the
fence pops a little nigger. "Mistah Jackson says dat hell
hab de mare at de track at sebsn o'clock sah," said he, as
soon as he recovered hia breath. "What mare?" Baid I, at a
loss to know what he was driving at. "Why ain't you Mr.
Jimmie Clark?" exclaimed the boy. I replied in the negative.
"Well den, I reckon he'll be 'long 'fore a great while far
Mistah Jackson had to go over de creek, an' he tole me to
wait heah an' tell Mistah Jimmie Clark." I started th9 old
horse np again, and left the little nigger perched on the fence,
but I could not help thinking over what the boy said about
having the mare to the track for Jimmie Clark at seven
o'clock. I knew that Clark was generally on the lookout for
something fast, and besides, he was one of those who had
been most active in trying to find out the ins and outs of
my business. I came to the conclusion that they were
going to give something of a trial on Jackson's half-mile
track, so I resolved to see the rest of the performance out if
possible. I looked at my watch; it was just six o'clock, and
I Baw that I would have time to go borne, stable my horse
and cut across country so as to reach the track by seven. I
put Orange Blossom into a gallop and in a few moments had
him safely housed. Then I started at a smart pace across
the fields, and took np a position behind the fence jost
opposite the starting point. A half hour passed away. I
consolted my timer and it was half past seven. Another
quarter, and atill there was no sign of a human being. The
moon had risen and it was nearly as light as day. I began
to grow stiff and chilly as I lay on the ground, and had
almost given up all hope of seeing anything, when I heard
the sound of voices comingup the track. I peeped cautiously
out and could see two men walking in the direction of where
I lay, and following them came a boy leading a horse hooded
and blanketed.

"The track ain't particularly fast, I reckon?" said a voice
that I at once recognized as Clark's.

"No, I haven't given it much attention lately; its pretty
deep in some places, and mighty rough on the backs tr etch,'"
returned his companion. "A horse that can run here in :52
to-night ought to be good for :49i or :50 on any kind of a fair
track,"

The party halted a few yards above the wire and proceeded
to take the clothing off the horse. I could not distinguish
the color, bnt could see that the animal was under-sized and
very nervous, for Bhe kept moving about une.isily as they
saddled her up.

"How much does the coon weigh?" said Clark, as he caught
the boy under the arms and lifted him off the ground.

"About eighty pounds, I reckon, "returned his companion.

''Yes. I guess that's about right," said Clark.

"Now Nigger, climb on," and giving the boy a leg-up, he
walked over to the side of the track nearest where I lay.

"Let her jog around to the quarter-pole, and then start
her np and gallop slow. Break away from here when you
come round again, and work s full half," were the instruc-
tions I heaid Jackson give the boy, and with a parting ad-
monition to keep a good hold on her head he sauntered over
to where Clark stood. "We might as well go and sit on the
fence; we can catch her just as well from there," said Clark,
and before I had time to think what waa best to be done both
men were seated directly above me, so that by reaching out
my hand I coold have touched either one; luckily for me
they were facing toward the track, and my greatest fear was
that one or other of them might get over on my side.

"That d d Yankee is pretty cute, but I guess we can

trim him with this mare, " said Clark. "He hasn't made a
break to make a match vet, bat I think I have a scheme that
he will bite on sure. We'll make him think hia frienda want
to see him at home before we get through with him," and he
laughed boisterously as he clapped Jackson on the shoolder.

"It's a wonder he hasn't been Btumping some of you fellers
for a race," returned his companion.

"Ob! I can figure that to a knock-down. He hasn't come
all the way down here to fish for minnows. He wants a whale
on his hook, and he'll get one too," replied the knowing
Clark.

Patter, patter, patter come the hoof-beats down ibe stretch
faster and faster, near and nearer. I had just time to reach
for my watch when the mare came flying past, and the thod
of the hoofs grew more indistinct as she rounded the corner
and turned up the backstretch. "She's a bird, ain't she?"
said Jackson, and I looked at my timer and saw 35 seconds
had flitted away. But the hoof-beats came nearer again, and
in shorter space than I can relate it, the mare again raced
under the wire. A glance showed the time :51}.

"What, did you catch it?" said Clark.

"Fifty-one and one-quarter," replied his companion.

"I made the half, but it is all the same; either is good
enough for me. Bring the mare down in the morning, and
I'll pay you for her," continued Clark; and both men got off
the fence and walked over to meet the boy returning with the
mare.

I couldn't afford to stay around any longer and take
chances of getting eaugbt, so I crept qnietly ;iway, and was
soon comfortably in bed. Next morning I started at the

usual time for town, and was just hitching old Orange Blos-
som when Clark came out of Martin's.

"Nice morning, stranger," he began. I remarked that it
was. "Ever take a nip?" he inquired, when I had secured
my horse. I informed him that it would not go against the
grain, so he led the way to the bar, and in a few moments
we were hob-nobbing like old friends.

"Let's go and sit down somewhere," he proposed. So we
took possession of one of the small tables that lined the room,
and after a few more rounds Clark leaned over and said,
"Mighty clever old horse you have out there, stranger." I
replied that if he waa I didn't know it. At which he laughed
and appeared to think it waa a rich joke. "Come, now, yoo
can't fool me," said he, smiling in a soperior kind of way,
"for I know you have something pretty good. Now, I can
put yon on to a big thing if you want to win a pot;" and he
proceeded to unfold his plan. "You see," said he, "I have a
mare that is pretty glib, and most of the boys here think she
can't be beat, so we can make a match and put op $500 or
$ 1,000 a side, and take them into camp on the outside betting.
Ob, I mean business," and he palled out a wad that fairly
made my month water. "Now," continued be, "here is
$1,000 for you, and when we gel the gang in here this even-
ing I will commence to badger you and want to make a
match, so we caa pot op the money in Kelly's hands {he is
all right}, and chances are we can get a few thousand in out-
side bets. Then we can go out and win with the old horse."'
After some more talk, during which he hinted I bad better
have a few thousand roond me in the event of bettiog in the
evening, we separated, and I rode oot home, giving him the
idea that I had gone after some money.

I joorneyed along slowly, pondering deeply as to how I
could get the best of this trickster. "Bring on a few t iou-
sand to bet on the outside." It made me laugh roefully
every time I thought of it, for I hadn't $50 that I could call
my own in the world . Something must be done before even-
ing, but what to do I didn't snow. I looked around at the
broad coontry op and down the duaty road aa if I expected a
ready-made idea to Bpring out of the ground. But suddenly
my eye caught sight of a horseman approaching. There was
not anything peculiar about that, but as he neared me there
was something in his style of riding that attracted my atten-
tion, for his horse was cantering, and instead of tbe long
Southern stirrup, his leathers were short, and his knees
husged the saddle closely.

"Who can it be?" I muttered. "It can't be Billy Grady,
surely." But a few strides more convinced me that I was
not mistaken, and that the redoubtable Billy was before me
in the flesh. "We recognized each other with a shoot and a
hearty grip of the hand, such as can only be given by two
friends who meet among strangers in a atrange coontry.

"What do yoo know?" aays Billy, after the firat salutations
were over. "Not much," I replied. "But I do know
that I could win a big pot here if I only had the money and
a good horse."

"Tell us all about it," said my genial friend, and in a few
moments more we are jogging along side by side and I was
relating to him the incident as already told.

After I had finished my narrative my friend rode along
thoughtfully for awhile and never spoke a word, but I knew
Billy well, and I was confident if there was any way out of
the difficulty that he was the man to solve the problem. At
length he said: "I thiok there is a way of fixing it, Jack.
Now I have about $1,500 that I scraped together at New
Orleans, and we ought to make it $2,009 if we work it right."

"But you forget that we haven't a horse that can run a half
better than :53, and this mare can go in :50 bang op, sure."

"That's all right," returned he, "but you forget that they
have fixed it for you to win. Of course it is plain that
they don't intend you shall, but then you see," and a
broad smile spreads itself over his countenance, "they won't
watch their mare very much, and they will never dream of
your meddling with her. Now you leave the whole thing to
me. and take my wad and bet it on the old horse."

Well, we met in the evening as appointed, and quite a
gang could be observed loafing around saloons. Clark feigned
to be pretty well "shot," and was declaring in loud tones as I
entered that he had a mare that coold out-run anything in
Alabama, and finally he tackled me for a match. I hung
back for awhile, and finally I offered to match for $1,000 a
6ide, a half-mile dash, to be run the next day. He produced
hia money, and the stakes were put op in the hands of a
prominent merchant who waa known to be thoroughly re-
sponsible.

"I'll bet you $200 more," said a tall gambler who was
standing at the bar. I took him, and the money was posted
with the stake-holder. We had a few more rounds, and I
commenced to act as if I was foil.

Every once in awhile some of the sharks wonld badger me
for a bet, but I protested that I wanted odds, and they doubt-
less thinking they had a sure thing laid me 2 to 1 till I got all
my wad up and then the party brokeup to meet at the track;
but I could notice their ill-concealed attempts at satisfaction,

I found Billy sitting np waiting for me when I cot home.
He looked as if he had just come in from a journey, and aft* r
I had told him that I had made the match and got all the
money up he aeemed highly pleased, much more so than mj-
self, for I waB as sangone as he that we would come out all
right. However, he was risking his money, and I asked
no questions.

At 10 o'clock the next day a large crowd had assembled at
the track, and when we arrived we found oar opponents had
been there before as. A prominent banker was chosen for
judge, and the horses were saddled and brought to poBt, no
further betting being indulged in, and I intimated that I had
placed all I could scrape together on the race. The flag drop-
ped, and the mare opened a gap of several lengths on poor
old Orange Blossom before they entered the back-stretch.
Clark was standing near me, and his face wore a satisfied
smile as he banteringly remarked that my "old plug was not
at himself to-day." I began to feel terribly uneasy, but a
roar from the spectators woke me np, and I saw that the old
horse wan gaining rapidly and that the mare was coming to
him evidently jost about done up. As they turned into the
stretch Orjnge Blossom had pulled up even,' and halfway
down he was a length to tbe good, and Clark's mate fell
back hopelessly beaten, and the old horse galloped home an
easy winner in :54.

I have seen surprised men in my time, but I don't think I
ever saw the equal of that gang. They were done brown,
at their own game. Tbey made a vigorous kick, bot the
stakeholder was all straight and handed me over the money,
and Billy and I led the old horse off the tiack followed by
the scowls of Clark and hiB friends who could not for the
life of them account for the manner in which their mare ran.
"How did you do it Billy?" said I, when we got well out of
hearing. He smiled in a superior kind of a way, and replied
briefly: "Jack, a little salt, a pail or two of water anrl i
dollar bill to a nigger sometimes goes a long way.
was all the information I ever got out of
Horseman.

Sacramento News.

[By Our Suecial Commissioner.]

Owing to the heavy rainfall at the end of last week, the
track was in no condition for racing on Monday last, and as
the rain still continued, a meeting of the Capital Turf Club
was held in the morning (Monday), and after some discussion
it was ultimately decided in accordance with the wishes of
most of the trainers and owners to postpone the meeting
until the following week. It is rather a bad omen for the
meeting, but there is every probability of it turning out one
of tbe most successful ever held in the city, as there are
plenty of good horses, all doing well, and quite an enthusias-
tic population in the Capital and surrounding country, who
evidently intend doing their best to ensure a successful result
to what will probably be the last meeting held under the
auspecies of the Capital Turf Club, as it is intended nest
year if possible to have spring racing on the Blood Horse
plan, the Directors of the State Fair Association controlling
the meeting and arranging for stake races, etc.

This being the case, it behooves the whole racing commun-
ity within a reasonable distance to show their appreciation of
the efforts the club has made in the past for racing in general,
by turning out in larger numbers than ever, and also prove
that it is possible in Sacramento to have as brilliant meetings
in the spring as they have in the fall, and thereby foster and
encourage one of our rapidly increasing industries in the
breeding of race-horses in the State.

"Spanish Charley," who has been in Chili, Valpaiaiso and
Mexico for fifteen years, says, that there is any quantity of
money for any one who can go out to Chili or Buenos Ayres
and beat the class of race-horses they have there on their
own ground. They are all mile tracks on the American plan,
but instead of soil they are grass, cut short, and consequently
are very hard. The weights are much heavier, 6ve-year-olds
and aged horBes carrying 145 pounds in a weight for age race.
Principally English trainers and riders are employed, and
longer races are run than are now fashionable here. No
auction pools are sold at all, the betting being all in the
books. He said that he had met Don Juan Bocan across the
mountains, and that he was a fairly wealthy man, very
shrewd, cautious and difficult to beat in racing matters.
This rather tallies with the English accounts of the Don.

Bob Allen, about the only man who ever made money as
lessee of the Sacramento track, indulged in divers reminis-
ences of the palmy days when Lucy and Goldsmith Maid
were brought to the state in 1872 to trot against Occident, for
the five races they gave in the state three of course were hip-
podromes, the two mares trotting together, and the other
two against Occident, single handed, were the big drawing
cards. When the Sacramento one came off 16,000 dollars was
paid at the gate alone, two dollars admission being charged.
Allen was lessee of the track then but had an agreement with
the San Francisco contingent who had paid Mr Smith 525,000
to come here, and though he did fairly well having a small per-
centage of the gate money and all the bar priveleges, the
other parties must have cleared at least $60,000 on their agree-
ment with Mr. Smith.for nearly half the $25,000 they paid was
subscribed in San Francisco and Oakland beforehand. Since
seventy six, he said there had not been much profit in track
leasing as Drices have kept increasing while crowds do not
turn out now as they did then 'en masse' to see the famouB
trotters.

Jas Woodbum, a well-known resident of Sacramento, has
gone home to Boston for a visit, the 6rst time in 35 years.
Though not much given to racing he showed us a fair sample
last year when his mustang, as he calls J. M. B., came down
on ub. A pleasant visit and a speedy return to the genial
Sacramentian.

Joe Courtney will leave for Keno either to-day or Sunday,
to once more educate the "Winter's youngsters. Joe, who has
been teaching yonng ideas how to race for several years at
Reno, has lately had charge of the Australian colts brought
over by Mr. Newton, but since McCormick went East with
part of the Winter's stable, he has arranged with Mr. Winters
to train several two-year-olds and a couple of three-year-olds
for the fall, and also keep an eye on the yearlings. Courtney
has had plenty of experience, and being a painstaking and
careful trainer, ought in the fall to have something very
handy, as there is some pretty good material to work on in
Leh Telish ("Norfolk— Ballinette) both three-year-olds, a five
year-old by Joe Hooker, dam Farallones, and among the two-
year olds Chan Haskell, a bay Norfolk colt out of Addie
O'Neil, a chestnut tally by Joe Hooker, dam Avail, (dam of
Laura Gardner.) A fall sister to Alta and two Hooker fillies
out of Alice M, and a JLangford mare, ought to keep up the
"Winters boom. Bronco, a 3-year-old ch o by Hooker, dam
Laura Winston, although sold by Mr. "Winters, will also be
under Courtney's charge.

The Australian colts trained by Courtney will be superin-
tended by the veteran, Albert Cooper, for a couple of months
after which Albert will take them to Chicago, en route for
New York, where, according to present arrangements, they
will be sold. Mr. Newton, the importer and owner has been
very unfortunate with his purchases, as all of them have
bucked shins and are undergoing a strong dose of blister>
•hereby preventing them from winning races at this season,
which, judging from the form they have shown in their
work, they could not well have lost.

Ab Stemlar has nine of the best looking two-year-olds ever
seen in one Btring in California, and had he only a few good
three-year-olds and aged horses, would have been shipping
East ere long. As it is, it is very doubtful whether he will
cioss the Hockies this year. His youngsters are all (with the

exception of "Whisban and Farsalara) barefoot, and are only
indulged in light work. Ab's favorite is a beautiful dark
bay colt by Prince Charlie, dam Nota Bene by Glenelg, stand-
ing about 15.2, with a beautiful head, neck and shoulders,
good short back, nice quarters, and big knees, with clean
hocks, good pasterns and feet, and taken all round a grand
specimen of a race horse, with much le3S daylight under
him and generally stouter looking than the majority of the
gets of the Prince of the T. Y. C. To my mind the most
racy looking is the bay son of Longfellow and Trinket, (a
Great Tom mare), who resembles the Bard a good bit though
with all due deference to the prestige of the mighty Bard,
rather better loooking. He has been sick nearly all the
winter, with a peccliar kind of rheumatism, but has now
evidently outgrown it, and is ready for a reasonable amount
of work. The other colt, a chestnut, very long on the leg,
16 hands high, is by King Ban, dam Hearsay, by imported
Australian, and when extended looks a different horse to
what he does when in his box. Among the fillies Far3alara
and "Whisban are well known to Californians, but in the two
bay fillies, Ten Broeck — Bonnie Katie (Knight of St. George)
and Longfellow — Carrie Philips (Pat Molloy) there ought to
be a gold mine, for they look as racy as it is possible to be,
and besides are bound to make great brood mares. Elsie, a
chestnut Glenelg filly (dam Meredi by King Ban) is rather
leggy, but evidently only wants time to thicken out and
make a long striding mare of the Lob Angeles stamp. Ab
says he should have purchased several good yearlings at the
yearling sales (EaBt) lately for Mr. Shippee, but happened to
strike the Dwyera who got outside his limit. As it was he got
two for $1,500 each who are bad to beat for look and breed-
ing.

The Maltese Villa Stable is not yet sure to go East, for
they have only Geraldine and Flood Tide to take with the
exception of a couple of two-year-olds. Abdiel though, the
two-year-old half brother to Geraldine, is very promising, and
looks like making (with time) a stouter and stronger race-
horse than his half sister. He showed quite enough in Janu-
ary to warrant his being rested and gradually worked up, and
although now as fat as a hog, moves with a nice free stride,
with none of the headstrong traits of Geraldine, and seemB to
have more bottom.

Albert Cooper will go to Chicago in June, and has great
hopes of getting hold of a nice Bprint or two with his three-
quarter horse Gladstone, who ought to start at a long price.
Albert says he is bound to have money for sure, as he wishes
to pick up a horse to win the Fresno two mile and repeat.
"Dars too much money for dem boys to fool with down dar,
I guess I must tend to it." Hope he will.

Big Jim still swears by Emotion up to> mile and a quar-
ter, bar none. Trust he will have better luck at Sacramento
next week, but think seven furlongB is her mark.

Wilbur Smith cuts a wide swath with Thapsin at Sacra-
mento, jost now, evidently being under the impression that
he lays over all the trotters there. Wait until the Palo Alto
pair show up in Marvin's finished style, then there will be
fun.

The Sacramento programme will not suffer through the
postponement, for although all trotting entries were off, the
Secretary, Mr. Jones, says nearly all have re-entered with
several additions.

Matt Storn has a chestnut two-year-old colt by Jils John-
son, dam Leveret by Lever, the property of Dr. Aby, who
looks like making a speedy miler though he has a curly hock
which does not seem to bother him much. His other colt,
Forester, is looking wonderfully well, though only in easy
work at present.

W. L. Appleby will return to the ranch after the Sacra-
mento meeting and start in on his youngsters, several of whom
require attention and handling just now.

Look out for the two-year-old brother to Jim Gor3, the first
time he starts out East, as he is Baid to be a long way above
the average, and that possibly accounts for the Dwyers buy-
ing the yearling sister.

In consequence of the unavoidable postponement at Sacra-
mento, the trotting and pacing entries are void. It was at
first hoped that all of them would stay in. although not
obliged to, but some few having intimated that they should
not start, it was decided to hold a meeting of the Directors on
Friday evening (yesterday) and decide whether what is left
of the old programme stands or to have a fresh entry and
remodel both classes. The result of the meeting was not
known when we went to press.

The track is now in better condition than ever. As is well
known, it dries with marvellous celerity, and on Thursday
last was in fair order, while yesterday it was very faBt, and
will be faster if the weather lasts.

Frank De Poister will in all probability officiate as starter
in the next weeks raoing at Sacramento, Wilber Smith taking
Mb place when Frank has any horse running there.

John Mackey will start East on or about the third of next
month. Before then 1 shall probably pay a visit to the ranch
and have a look at the youngsters who are to be sold in New
York.

Palo Alto has two trottere at Sacramento in preparation.
Marvin will turn up in time to drive one of them, Emeline,
a five-year-old bay mare (Electioneer— Emma Robson by
Wooabnrn), aB she is entered in two of the purses, and it is
intended to give her a record. She is a very even gaited,
square trotter, and as her dam is thoroughbred, she ought to
posseBB the requisite amount of stamina and vim to carry her
well inside the thirty class. The other mare, Lady Morgan
by Piedmont, is six years old. According to present arrange-
ments she will not attempt to make a record until Napa. She

showB the well known Palo Alto characteristics all through,
being as intelligent and well educated as any Charley Marvin
has turned out.

John L. McCord, tbe owner of several well known trotting
and pacing horses in the last few years, has been improving
and remodeling his ranch at Consumnes, about 18 miles
from Sacramento. He has struck a bappy idea in naming it
the Sunny Knoll, as the country and general surroundings
are said to be eplendid, and the sun is always there. He has
a mile track on the ranch under K. H. Burton's care, and in
this pleasant region hopeB to raise and educate trotters and
pacers equal to any ones. He seems to rather favor the
pacers, and speaks very highly of one youngster, and if the
weather iB propitious*, I hope to avail myself of his kind invi-
tation and look over the sunny slopes and pedigreed stock
thereon ere long.

There are upwards of a hundred race horses at present
stabled at the Sacramento track in anticipation of the meet-
ing next week, while trotters of all shapes and sizes are
innumerable, the only thing required to ensure success is
good weather and a crowd.

The Sacramento racegoers are almost as disappointed about
the Al Farrow fiasco as the interested parties, for all had a
lingering hope that they would see the bay horse and Geral-
dine again try conclusions at a mile, and judging from tbe
general tone of conversation in the capital it would have
proved the beBt drawing card since the Maid and Occident
were there in 72. The whole city waB demoralized when Al
Farrow was firBt taken by the Sheriff. The horse is looking
very well, though he has not had much hard work, and
probably is not improved by his perigrination to and from
the track. He returned to the track last Tuesday night about
eleven after a seven hours visit to Wilson's stable under the
officer's care. All things combined it would be Geraldine'a
race if they should meet just now, as she is very fit.

Guido's compulsory withdrawal from next week's racing
will increase the starter in the two-year-old race, as he had
Beared nearly all his opponents. Faraalara will probably be
trusted this time instead of Whisban, being evidently more
reliable.

Big Jim is going for the pieces again, Emotion being as tit
as a fiddle. Why not match her against Geraldine ? It would
make as good a race as the Farrow one would have done,
though I have a preference for the unlucky Falsetto mare,
and shonld like to see Jim in a winning vein.

Betting In Future

Before the next issue of the Breeder and Sportsman
reaches our readers the Brooklyn Handicap for 1889 will be a
thing of the past". Already thousands of dollars have been
bet on the result, and there is many an anxious man waiting
to see if he will get a run for his money. Since we published
the price laid against the entries, several changes have oc-
cured, the following being the latest quotations given by
Cutler and Whitney: —

Arrival of Stamboul.

Peter Brandow, the old-time driver and trainer, started
early last week for Los Angeles to bring up Stambonl for his
new purchaser, W. S. Hobart, Esq., of this city. In addition
to the great stallion, Mr. Brandow also brought up with him
the grand brood-mares Trinket, 2:14, Silverone, 2:19$, Astri-
one by Alcyone, dam Jessie Pepper, and Bon-6on. These
royally bred horses have attracted many visitors to the track,
where they have been placed in charge of Orrin A. Hickok,
who will, after the necessary amount of rest, begin jogging
Stambonl, to get him prepared for the work that he will have
to accomplish on the track this year. Mr. Brandow feels
highly elated at delivering over the valuable consignment in
good order, and it can be surmised that titled individuals
never had better care taken of them while traveling than was
taken of this precious car load. Stamboul is in fine condi-
tion, none the worse for the journey, and is worth going a
day's journey to look at.

To the Public

The stock advertised by me in last June of Breeder and
Sportsman, were held and accumulated by me through the
assistance of friends, for the last ten years. The mare, young
Miami, I bought from the late Bill Hall, of Santa Clara, in
1S75, then a yearling past, for a good round figure. I have
clung to her through might and main, but now she has to go
with five of her fillies and one stud colt. The colts I have
bred with an eye single to their retaining the trotting interest,
with sufficient backing up to enable them to stay in a contest
until the service was over. Trotters are born, not made;
and I am satisfied if these colts fall into the hands of an
artist, they will add to his fame, and bring fortune to their
owner. The two black fillies offered in this lot I did not
raise, but have the breeders' sworn certificate as to their
breeding. Atlamont who sired one, the dam of the other
all horsemen know, as he trotted at Bay District, two years
ago, to wagon in 2:26|, which was not the measure of his
speed. Kisber, the sire of the dam of one and sire of the sire
of the other, was considered by horsemen to b6 one of the
greatest stallions living He trotted in a race, a half in 16£
with heavy track, showed a mile in 2:16 private, and came to
San Francisco with a record of 2:27£, willing to meet all
comers for the ohampionship; got pneumonia on the steamer
coming down from Oregon, and died in this city about two
years ago, a great loss to this country.

The brown horse offered is out of Lady Hercules, the dam
of Arab, is 12 yaars old; was foaled on Corbett's Place, San
Mateo, (Howard Ranch). The first colt she ever had the bill
shows bred to Irvington Straight but whether he' or the teaser
served the mare I refer the public to Corbett. I have held
on to him, hoping I would be able to have him worked, as
he has gait and breeding enough to trot as fast as any horse
living. He has not had harneps on for ten years. This sale
is absolute on account of exhausted credits and cracked
friendship. 3t* F. S. Malone.

The Stockton Races.

The directors of the Stockton Fair have held several meet-
ings of late, and in the course of a few days will make the
usual arrangements in reference to stakes and pnrses. The
programme, as far as arranged, is a good one, and will be
about as follows: —

District, free for all, for a purse of $400.

Heliotrope purse for S400. .

Pavilion stakes of 1S89.

To Semite stakes of 18S9.

Big Tree stakes of 1S89.

TROTTING.

District Btallion race for a purse of §400.
District two-year-old, $50 eaoh.
District three-year-old, $50 each. _
Free for all, two-year-old, $50 each.
Froeforall, three-year-old, $50 each.
Free for all, four-year-old, $50 each.

THE BIG PURSE.

Free for all trotting horses; purse $1,000.
Free for all horses of the 2:20 class; purse $1,000.
Free for all horses of the 2:23 class; purse, $1,000.
Free for all horses of the 2:26 class; purse $1,000.

FACING .

Free for all pacers; purse $700.

Free for all of the 2:22 class; purse $500.

In each of these races five entries will be required to fill,
and three or. more to start. Four moneys will be paid of 50,
25, 15 and 10 per cent. The general conditions of the asso-
ciation's rules of 1888 will govern.

Diamond came in second, and was awarded second money.
Colt behaved badly, and although he outfooted Diamond and
ed by a large gap in the start, he went up near the half mile
pole, and was passed by Diamond and failed to recover. Very
little money changed hands on the race, as it was conceded
Abie's race in the start.

The nest was a running race, half mile and repeat, for a
$150 purse, for horses owned in Humboldt or Del Norte
counties prior to April 1. 1SS9. The entries were Little Cap,
Jo Hooker and Stoneman, assigned positions as given above.
In the pools Little Cap sold choice for $10, Stoneman second
for SG, and Jo Hooker brought $6. They were flagged off
the first time they came up to the half mile post well together.
Stoneman soon took the lead, clo-ely followed by Little Cap
with Joe Hooker closo after. Hooker commenced to gain
before the quarter .pole was reached and came down the home
stretch at a grand pace making a dead heat with Stoneman
in 50J. The time was remarkably fast and as 1b always the
case in close races there was considerable discontent expressed
at the decision of the judges. T. J. Knight being dissatisfied
with the decision of the judges, sent Stoneman to the stables,
when the judges called him up into the stand and notified
him that they would rule him off the trackunlesshe brought
his horse back. The language he uBed to the judges and be-
fore ladies present was anything but gentlemanly and re-
sulted in the judgeB announcing from the stand that T. J.
Knight was forever barred from the track of the Eureka
Jocfiey Club. This decision elicited another profane epithet
from Knight when the jadges ordered the officers to remove
him from the grounds, which was done. The pools for the
race were declared off. At 4 o'clock Little Cap and Joe
Hooker were sent around to finish the race. They got off
with Hooker slightly in the lead, which position he held
throughout, winning the heat and lace by a neck in 5U.

SECOND DAYS' RACES.

The attendance at the races Thursday was as good as the
previous day, notwithstanding the face that it had rained
the preceding night and was showery during the forenoon.
The attendance of ladies was very good.

The first race called was the three-quarter dash for a purse
of $150 for horses owned in Humboldt and Del Norte coun-
ties prior to April 1, 1889; five to enter, three to start; first
horse $110, second $40. They were assigned positions as
given below: Sagebrush Sam, Susie D., Lucky Dan and
Edith R. The jadges were Wyman Murphy, A. Connick and
R. D. Gross, while S. F. Pine and Miles Thompson acted as
starters for the running race. In the pools Edith R. Bold
choice for $10, Sagebrush Sam $9, Susie D. $4 and Lucky
Dan $3. They started without muoh trouble. Susie D. soon
took the lead and held it to the finish, winning the race in
the excellent time of 1:22. The result of this race was a sur-
prise to the knowing ones, who backed Edith R. heavily in
the pools.

The next was a trotting race for a purse of $150; mile
heats, best three in five; first horse to receive $110, second
$40. The entries were McGregor's Poscora Hayward Jr ,
Quinn's Nellie Q. and Dr. Wallace's Johnny Q. Much inter-
est was taken in this race, as the horses were very evenly
matched, and it was a matter of judgment as to the staying
qualities. Before the first heat Nellie sold choice in the
pools for $10 against $7 for Johnny Q., and $6 for PoBCora
Jr. In the assignment of the position, Johnny Q. s'ecured
the inside, Poscora Becond and Nellie Q. on the outside, after
considerable scoring they were tapped off well together, but
Johnny Q. soon took the lead and kept it, winning the heat
in 2:47, with Nellie Q, second, while Poscora broke badly and
came in a bad third.

The result of this heat caused a change in the pools, al-
though the admirers of Nellie Q. still tooksume pools on her.
In the second heat Johny Q. broke several times, and lost
the heat to Nellie Q. in 2:47 with Poscora again taking third
place. After this heat the pools again ohanged and Nellie Q.
sold choice for $15 against $6 for Johny Q. and $3 for Pos-
cora. They scored a long time before they were tapped off, but
were finally sent away very even. Johny Q. soon took the
pole from Nellie Q. and kept in the lead throughout with two
slight breaks, winning the heat in 2:47£. Nellie Q. cast a
shoe before the first quarter pole was reached and was held
up so that she was distanced, and sent to stables.

This left only Poscora and Johny Q. to start with two heats
in favor of the latter. A few pools were sold at $10 to 3 in
favor of Johny Q.

The next heat was a walk over far Johny Q. winning easily
in 2:52. Poscora broke badly just after they started and loBt
ground that he failed to recover.

The last race of the meeting was a consolation purse of $60
for horses that had not won a race; half mile dash with $40
for the first and $20 for the second. The entries were Little
Cap, Sagebrush Sam and Lucky Dan: assigned positions as
given above. Little Cap sold the favorite in the pools and
won the race in :51.

The Eureka Meeting-

The Humboldt horsemen had a meeting on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, there being mixed racing, which
wbb thoroughly enjoyed by all who participated. Owing to
the raeiDg in San Erancisco, all the noted horses of the coast
were congregated here, but withal the local flyers gave good
entertainment, which was highly appreciated. Our Eureka
correspondent has evidently been lost in the scoring, for we
have failed to receive any word from him, so take the follow-
ing reports from the Eureka Times:—

The first race was a trotting stake race, to which the club
added $30. The entries were W. A. Young's Able, Wm. Per-
rott's Colt, and B. McGarrihan's Diamond. In the assign-
ment of positions Colt seoured the iDside, Diamond second,
and Able on the outside. By agreement the distance limit
was abolished. As the horses were young and the owners
drove a long time was taken ud in scoring, and it was only
after being admonished by the judges and sent from the 60-
yard pole that thev got away. In the pools Able sold choice
for $10 and the field for $6. Able took the lead in the Btart,
and held it throughout the mile, gradually increasing the
gap until the finish, with only three breaks. He trotted the
tir^t quarter in :49, and the second quarter in 1:40, the third
in 2-28, and the mile in 3:20. The other two horses kept
well together until after the half mile was passed, both break-
ing badly, when Colt forged ahead of Diamond and came in
an easy second. For the second heat they were tapped off
the Becond time thev came up to the wire, well together. Ae
in the previous heat, Able took the lead at an easy pace, and
held it throughout, passing the first quarter pole in :48. the
half in 1 -35 the three-quarters in 2:19J, and the mile in 2:08 J.

market by Mr. J. Ryan, and the above is probably his first
win. He ran fourth ridden by Tom Cannon for the Prince
of Wales Stakes at Leicester, which Donovan won easily,
with Pioneer second. Asa two-year-old Enthusiast ran three
times without winning. He was unplaced for the Middle
Park Plate, second each for the Criterion and Derfhnrst
Plate. Enthusiast's next big engagement is the Prince of
Wales Stakes of £7,000, a mile and quarter, on the 21st inst.,
and the Derby, a mile and a half on June 5th.

A Valuable Road Horse.

The chestnut gelding, Dick Stauffer, record 2:21$, was re-
cently sold by B. F. Staaffer, of Chicago, to C. H. Smith, and
the transaction recalls the fact, known to not a few men,
that Dick Stauffer is, without exception, the best road horse
in the country, and also that his history is a peculiar and in-
teresting one, says the Breeder's Gazette. He was bough
about six years ago by Mr. Stauffer, being then four years
old, and came into his possession at the price of an ordinary
road horse — $250— not being able to show better than a tbiee-
minnte gait, and those who had previously owned the big
gelding were not sanguine that he would ever materially im_
prove those figures. Stauffer at once began driving the
horse on the road, and not very gently at that — being a man
who weighs over 200 pounds, and one who likes long and
fast drives. Usually he was accompanied by a friend, the
buggy was a heavy one, and the load, therefore, better fitted
for two horses than one. But the Blue Boll gelding improved
every day of his life, and by the time he had been banged
over the Chicago boulevards for a year he could trot in 2:30
instead of three minutes, and the following summer he was
sent to the track at Washington Park to take part in a mat-
inee. The style in which he drew a wagon surprised even
the old heads, and some of them persuaded Mr. Stauffer to
have the horse trained for a few weeks. This was done,
and under Budd Doble's handling Dick Stauffer went to St.
Louis, and at the fall meeting there won a good race, getting
a record of 2:27i. Then he went on the road for the winter,
and was driven every day, most of the time to a sleigh, and
never failed of getting a fast drive whenever another animal
of speed came alongside. When the snow disappeared the
heavy buggy was brought into use again, and to this he was
given a daily spin of from five to twenty-five miles all sum-
mer. In September there was to be a race at Washington
Park between Harry Wilkes and Oliver K., and, as an addi-
tion to the day's programme, another event for horses belong-
ing to members of the club was gotten up. Stauffer was
asked to enter his horse in this race, the other entries being
Editor, that had shown himself capable of a mile in 2:22;
Opal, that had gone miles in 2:21, and Jeannette, with a rec-
ord better than 2:30. There was barely two weeks' time in
which to prepare the horse, while the others had been in
training all summer, but Stauffer never weakened, and Peter
Johnston took the Chestnut in hand. Peter knew there wbb
no time for training, and so devoted himself to balancing the
horse that had never been hitched to a Bulky a dozen times.
He soon discovered that Stauffer had plenty of speed, and a
quarter in thirty-four seconds the day before the race was
good enough evidence on that point. The race came off,
Dick Stauffer sold for five dollars in pools of one hundred,
and he won in straight heats, trotting every mile better than
2:24, and one of them in 2:21J. Then he went back to pull-
ing the old buggy up and down the boulevards again, just as
if he had not accomplished something wonderful, and he is
Btill at it, the best road horse in Chicago, and the only one
in the world that ever went from between the shafts of a
buggy and with thirteen days' work to sulky went three heats
to average 2:22£.

The Palo Alto Sale.

A Big Favorite Beaten.

As there is a great deal of interest manifested to hear how
Donovan was beaten for the 2,000 guineas, the following tele-
gram to the N. Y. World will be acceptable to our readers:

London, May 1. — English backers had another "facer" to-
day at Newmarket, where the winter favorite, the Duke of
Portland's Donovan, went to the post a 4 to 1 on favorite for
the 2,000 guineas. It was run over the Rowley mile, and
between Mr. Douglas Baird's Enthusiast and his cousin Mr.
"Abington's" Pioneer, they just managed to "do" the favorite.
The other starters included Prince Soltykoffs Gold, Lord
Bradford's Swift, Mr. J. Gretton's Miguel. Mr. T. Jennings'
George, Mr. H. Milner's Homely and Mr. Hamar Bass's colt
by Hermit, out of Ma Belle.

George took the lead at the start, followed by Donovan and
Pioneer as named. They held the same positions to "the
bushes," where Donovan went to the front, followed by
Pioneer and Enthusiast. It was a great race, and amid much
excitement Enthusiast won by a head, Donovan second,
three-quarters of a length in front of Pioneer.

The eighty-first running of the 2,000 guineas, for three-year-olds,
at £100 each, half forfeit; the second to receive £200 out of the stake
and the third to save its slake; colts to carry 12C lbs.; fillies 121 lbs.;
closed Nov. 1, 1867, with 79 subacribess; Rowley mile.

The winner (Enthusiast) wbb bred at the Yardley Btud. and
was sold a yearling in July, 1SS7, for 2,000 guineas tt his
present owner, Mr. Donglas Baird. He was trained at New-

New York, May 8th. — As in comparison to the sale of the
Rose, Corbitt and Valensin consignments, there were not
nearly so many persons present to-day, still representative
horsemen were here from all over the country. The stock
was in magnificent condition, and from all quarters Mr. Mar-
vin is receiving unqualified praise. The prices are only mod"
erate, the general opinion being that the sale was set for too
late in the season, and we have been surfeited with trotting
horse sales for the paBt six weeks. Probably the cheapest
horse in the lot was the "Bob" Morrow stallion Elector, con-
signed by O. A. Hickok. He was knocked down for the
ridiculously low price of 52,200 to Miller & SibIey,of Franklin,
Pa., their representative feeling highly delighted at securing
such a bargain. The balance sold are as follows: —

Clarissa, br f, $2,050, to M. A. Dougherty, New York; Liela,
br f, $1,000, Miller & Sibley; Coin, b c by Electioneer and
Ceoil, 52,500 to A. J. Feck, Syracuse, N. Y; b f by Election-
eer and Alvaretta, $1,000, to Robert Steele, Philadelphia;
Alva, b m, $1,350, to Robert Steel, Philadelphia; br c by

The Derby.
Gossip About the Starters in Kentucky's Classic Event.

The following is clipped from the St. Louis Republic, and
gives the latest account of the probable starters and their
chances of success in the Kentucky Derby:

0.1 Thursday next the great Kentucky Derby will be run
ana the twenty-eighth meeting of the Louisville Jockey Club
inaugurated. Notwithstanding the antagonism of the book-
making fraternity, and despite the withdrawal of certain
stables because of the Kentucky handicap blunder, the thous-
ands of people who will assemble at Churchill Downs between
May 9th and 18th nest will doubtless witness one of the
greatest race meetings in the history of the Kentucky tarf .
There may not be as many horses here this year as last, but
there will bean abundance, at least half a thousand, and
there will be no lacking in the matter of quality. The best
horses in the Western country will meet here and battle for
the rich turf trophies offered by the Louisville Jockey Club —
equine giants from California, the flower of Kentucky and
the seasoned veterans of the South. Many a record has been
lowered at Churchill Downs since the day upon which Aris-
tides captured the Kentucky Derby, and it is not unreason-
able to expect that one or more will suffer similarly at the
coming meeting. Ten Broeck's great record of a mile in
1:39;(- nas remained unbroken for twelve lone years. No
horse save Stuyvesant has ever approached it, and he failed
of reaching it by a quarter of a second. Old man Harper,
Ten Broeck's owDer while he lived, will endeavor, however,
to eclipse eveu Ten Broeck's record next week or the week
following. To accomplish or attempt this feat he has selected
that fleet-footed daughter of the dead sire, Valuable. The
race will be made against time, as was the case of Ten Broeck
in 1S77, and as the mare has already covered a mile in 1:40
in her trials this spring, there is excellent prospect of her
succeeding. The coming meeting will comprise nine days'
racing in all, and the following review will give a foretaste of
the quality and nature of the sport to be expected:

The principal event of the first day is, of course, the Ken-
tucky Derby, a mile and a half, for three-year-olds. It is the
blue ribbon event of the American turf, and while it may not
in intrinsic value equal several of the important events in
the West, and a number of thoBe in the East, to it attaches
greater prestige than to any race probably run on American
soil. It enhances the vulue of the winner as aracer, and aB
a sire. Take the Derby winners from 1S75 to that of 1888—
Aristides, Vagrant, Baden Baden, Day Star, Lord Murphy,
Fonso, Hindoo, Apollo, Leonatua, Buchanan, Joe Cotton]
Ben Ali, Montrose and Maobeth II.— and you will hud that
everyone of them were racehorses from muzzle to heel. With
the exception of Fonso, who went to pieces with lung fever
shortly after the race, all were winners again in good com-
pany. Hindoo, Aristides, Leonatus, Fonso, Baden-Baden,
Day Star, Buchanan and Ben Ali are to-day making fame for
themselves and gold for their owners in the stud, while Mon-
trose and Macbeth II. are still on the turf battling with the
newer equine generations. Lord Murphy was taken to Eng-
land and is doubtless doing stud service there to day. Joe
Cotton is dead, so is Apollo, who was saved the fate of the
only other gelding besides Macbeth II., who won the Derby
namely, Vagrant. Poor old Vagrant is still paying the pen-
alty of impotency by dragging a buggy over the streets of
Lexington. So much for the past Derby winners; now a
word aB to the rirst probable coming one.

Of the horses remaining undeclared the following are likely
to come to the post: Sam Bryant's pair, Proctor Knott and
Ome to Taw; Spokane (Montana stable); the Beverwick
B';ab'e pair, Cassias and CaBtaway II.; K s on (J. J Cr tr)*
Harper's pair, Lee Chnaty and Casellu; Hiudoocraft (Ireland
3ros.); Moxie (Labold Bros.); Robin Hood (Hearst & Mur-
ray); Sportsman (I. K. Megibban & Co.); Long Dance
SeorgeRye); the best of Baldwin's pair, Caliente or GaDy-

aede, and Once Again, who won the Phujoix Hotel stakes in
2:085, dangerously close to the record. This will give a field

of 14, which may be reduced by the dropping of one of
Harper's pair, the worst one of the Beverwick pair, and pos-
Bibly Kasaon. Nothing is known of the condition of Baldwin's
couple outside the stable, and it is quite possible that neither
will be found at the poBt when tbe flag falls next Thursday.
To off-set these, however, additional starters may be found
in Cartoon, Vatican and Teuton. Heron will hardly start; it
would be apt to cause a coolness between Guest and Hankins.
Almont won't start for the simple reason that he has been
declared inside of the past three days, being sick from the
effects of his journey from the Pacific slope. Indeed, Sena-
tor Hearst has been peculiarly unfortunate in this respect,
his only other Derby representative beside Robin Hood, N.
Y. M., having died since his arrival here. Kasson is reported
a doubtful starter, but this lacks official confirmation.

Should the first 14 named go to the post, Proctor Knott,
of course, will be a pretty warm favorite. The Futurity win-
ner has improved immensely in the past fortnight and devel-
oped his old-time speed. There need be no fear of his not
being able to go the route. He is bred that way. Come-to-
Taw may cut some figure, and he may be permitted to win
by license of his stable companion, but thiB is doubtful.
Spokane is apt to make a showing. He is both speedy and
game, aud has made many friends by his creditable perform-
ance in the Peabody Hotel stakes at Memphis. The Blue
Ribbon stQkes, a mile and a half, to be run at Lexington next
Monday, will doubtless disclose tbe best of Harper's pair, as
both are entered in that race. So is Once Again, Milton
Young's Derby hope, now being keyed up by Brown Dick,
that veteran trainer who handled Gallifet last year. Hindo-
craft has been showing excellent work in his trials, and his
victory at Lexington on Wednesday last, in the Distillers'
stakes, makes him a very dangerous factor in the race.
Moxie is a stable secret. He may be another Montrose horse,
bnt it is doubtful. The Labold Bros.' luck is not apt to run
in the Derby channel the second time. Robin Hood was
undoubtedly fit before he left California, and is still looking
well. But he has been eased up in his wcrk — not a very flat-
tering sign. Cassius is said to be Johnny Campbell's hope
and not Castaway II. Cassius ran disappointingly in the
Montgomery stakes at Memphis, but the same thing could
have been Baid of Macbeth last year, and yet Macbeth won.
Baldwin's pair, as before stated, are uncertainties. The
remaining one of the 14, Long Dance, is reputed to be receiv-
ing especial training for this race, but has yet to disclose any
especial prowess. Altogether, tbe race seems a pretty open
one outside of Proctor Knott. Bryant still maintains that
the latter will not start, but it is no breach of confidence to
stale that nobody believes him. But in any event, whether
he starts or not, Kaiutuck's classic event will be a contest
worth coming miles to see, and the winner, let him be whom
he may, will be cheered by probably 20,000 throats as he
passes under the wire.

"Weather warm and track fast" was the first telegram re-
ceived Thursday from Louisville, and a second read, "It is
generally believed that Hindoocraft and onoe again can beat
Knott." In this city, Hindoocraft once again and Bootmaker
were liberally backed for place, hardly any one thinking for
a moment that the great gelding could be beaten. However,
the outcome proved that Noah Armstrong was right when he
said in the Breeder and Sportsman office early this year,
"there is only one thing can beat me for the Kentucky Derby
and that is Longrish. The running of the latter named horse
shows what a long head old Noah had, for Longfishhas prov-
en himself a first class three-year-old, but he did not start
for the great classic event, so there is no telling how they
would have been placed. The following telegram has been
received at this office from our Kentucky correspondent.
$ Louisville, May 9th. — At a rough calculation there are
twenty thousand persons present to witness the Derby.
Great disappointment is felt that there will be no starters
from California, as both of Baldwin's entries have been
scratched. There were eight to face the flag, the pools sell-
ing $100 for Proctor Knott, against §70, $75 and §80 for the
field. When the start was effected, Hindocraft had the
advantage and led almost to the quarter, where Proctor
Knott passed the game bod of Lady Crafton. Before the half
was reached Kcott was three lengths to the good, Spokane
being now 6ecoDd, the balance bunched behind. At the
three-quarters Knott was five lengths ahead, but not moving
steady, Barnes not seeming to have oommand of the horse.
The same position was maintained to the mile where Kiley
on Spokane moved np, and at the mile and a quarter was on
even terms, Knott showing signs of distress, they came down
the home stretch together, making a gallant fight, bnt in tbe
last few yards Spokane got his nose in front and was awarded
the victory. There is a rumor current in town to-night that
Bryant sold Knott several days ago, and that the Chicago
Stable now owns the grand son of Luke Blackburn. The
time is the fastest ever made in a Derby, and the Kentuckians
are crowing about beating the Czar'a time, 2:34£ was never
touched before, can Sorrento, Don Jose, The Czar or Flood
Tide lower it at Chicago?

Spokane, the winner, is a fine large chestnut colt, the
property of the Montana stable, and started last year five
times, winning twice, his first bracket beiug the Maiden
stakes at Latonia, where he beat a field of fourteen. His
second win waB at the Nashville fall meeting, where he cap-
tared a §300 purBe from six others. He is considered an in
and out performer, being inclined to sulk at the poBt, and
will not break away, but when he gets Btarted is a very fast
horse.

Lots of people try to solve the annual puzzle, who will win
the Brooklyn Handicap? The following arrangements of
some of the probable starters may help them out: —

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: In your
paper of April 27th, the plan of giving running horses slow
work hitched to a sulky was advocated. You stated that you
thought it was likely that trainers would be slow in adopting
such an inovation as they wtre rather a conservative class.
For my part I think it a very sensible idea. I think also that
if running horses when they are being trained for any par-
ticular race, were to have all their heavy work and strong
gallops, about the same time the race would be tun, it would
be much better. Under the present system the horse does
most of his work early in the morning and then gets his feed.
On the morning of the race he gets just a "pipe opener," per-
haps has a light feed, and very little water. The muzzle is
then put on to prevent his eating his bedding, and he is
kept in suspense until it is time for him to be taken out and
saddled. Is there anything that would conduce more to
upset a nervous high strung animal than such treatment as
this; more especially when yon consider that he who is
usually kept so calm and qaiet, has to face a noisy shouting
crowd. On the other band if he did his chief work in the
afternoon, he could on the morning of the race get a good
feed, and woald go out to do his work without any great
change in treatment to upset him; and would, consequently,
be much more likely to take things qaietly.

J. Cairn Simpson has purchased from L. E. Clawson, the
gelding Big Jim, conditionally on the latter being able to
show a quarter in 35 seconds.

Fullerton, who has been rated as a first class race-horse in

comes news that N. Y. M. has succumbed.

Mr. T. J. Knight wants to trot his stallion Idaho Patchen,
against any horse in Humboldt Coanty for the sum of $500
a side. This is a chance for the owner of Poscoro Hayward.

Among the buyers at the sale of the youngsters from Wood-
burn Farm, at LexingtoD, Ky., was W. M. Murray, who pur-
chased a chestnut or grey colt by Powhatan, dam Geneva.
Price paid, $110.

The filly which died at the Valensin Stock Farm week be-

Charlotte Cushman, the full 6ister of Procter Knott, was
one of the starters in the Ivy Leaf stakes and was well
backed just because she was Knott's sister. She did not get
off in the'fiist division and did not finished near the front.

In the course of a week or two. Almont Patchen, 2:15, will

for the youngster is Nugget. Dr. Aby adds: "Imported
Friar Tuck looks as slick as an eel."

Speaking of the Pacific Coast Trotting Hors9 Breeder's
Association, the Horseman says: The association has a grand
career of usefulness before it, and the breeding associations
on this side of the mountains, in the great friendly battle of
rivalry, will have to look to their laurels.

F. A. Jones, the Secretary of the Capital Turf Club, Bays
that in all probability there will only be one trotting race to
alter, the pacing, colt and special all being sure, while the
forty class is almost certain to stand with one withdrawal.
There is some talk of arranging a special race for Kelly's Irot-
ter if they can find a class slow enough to suit Mike. He
says he will go one heat anyway.

I want yon to read the advertisement of Trullinger & Co.,
of Yreka. if you are in the stook business, for they have
patented the very least castrating forceps ever introduced.
All who have used them speaks in the higest praise of the
instruments, and claim that they excel anything heretofore
on the market.

From the press accounts of the race, Al Farrow, when in
the lead up to the last furlong, was so palpably pulled back,
that it is a mystery why the judges, from their own point of
observation, did not take immediate action.

The above is from the New York Sportsman, and now I
should like to have the editor name a single paper that said
he was pulled. The charge is "he was not out for (hfl money,"
and, there was no pulling done,

Secretary Culver has received official notification from K.
"W. Rideout of the Eureka Jockey Club, that T. J. Knight and
his horse Stoneman have been ruled off.

A private telegram sent to this city from Nashville says,
that Sam Bryant has sold Proctor Knott to George Hankins,
of the Chicago stable, for §32,500, with the understanding
that the big gelding shall start in the Kentucky Derby in
Bryant's Dame. This is the largest price ever paid in the
United States for a thoroughbred gelding.

Poor old Drake Carter has been resurrected in Canada
somewhere, and is entered in the Cash Handicap at 115 lb3.
The old gelding is now nine years old and it would seem had
outlived his usefulness, but one can never tell. The old
horse Malua in Australia, has had many nps and downs, yet
bobs up serenely every now and then, paralizing the book-
makers, and gladdening the hearts of his backers. Let us
watch old Drake Carter.

A correspondent writing from Nashville says: The Chicago
stable animals are not showing to advantage. Galen was
beaten off yesterday, and to-day Huntress and Marie Foster
were among the tailed-out division. The fact of the matter
is there is hardly a horse in the stable fit to race yet, and
when they are ready for bruising races it will be mnch later
on. They nearly all look well, but a shade too high. Chil-
howie is probably nearer fit than any of them.

The sportsmen of Los Angeles are fortunate in having a
newspaper like the Tribune to further their interests. The
issue of Monday, May 6th, comeB to hand with three columns
and a half of good live matter, containing everything in the
sporting line from pugilism to lawn tennis. There is one
thing for which the Tribune deserves credit, the items are
always accurate, and that is'more than can be said of tbe San
Francisco dailies.

David Nevins of Framingham, Mass., who at one time
owned Fearnaugbt Jr., wants to match his filly, Mary Stam-
boul, against any two-year-old in the world, for $5,000. This
is the tilly that won the premium at the recent Boston horse
show. The following tells tbe story:

"Premium No. 10. Trotters, fillies, 2 years old and under
3. Prize, $50 in money or plate. First, Mary Stamboul,
bay filly, 14 2 hands, 2 years, by Stamboul, dam Mary Arnold,
entered by David Nevins, Jr., Framington."

Two races were announced to be trotted at Sherwood Park,
Salinas, on Inauguration Day, but in tbe first event, a play or
pay race. Mr. Aoderson did not produce his mare, so Mr.
Allen's Black Diamond had a walk-over. The second contest
was for a purse of S40, the entries being Charles S. and Buy
Clem. It was necessary to trot three heats, Charles S. win-
Ding the second one, Bay Clem taking the first and last.
Time, 3:01, 3:05, 2:54.

Tom Hazlett's Black Pilot and L. D. Merriwetbera Edwin
F. ran a mile at the Bay District last Friday afternoon, each
carrying 10S pounds, Edwin F. winning cleverly by two open
lengths. The match was said to be for $500. but I have
good reasons for stating that $40 is about the mark. What
was their real object? The ostensible one was of course the
fictitious $500. There was no pool-selliDg on the track, and
it looked as though it was impossible to make anything at it
— but who knows?

The stables of Captain Moore, nearCynthiana, wereburnpd
Monday night. Fifteen valuable horses were distroyed .
The following is a list of the horses burned and their values:
Twilight Wilkes, $5,000; Bourbon Bismarck, $4,500; Bismarck
Pilot, $4,000; Johnson, $2,000; Von Wilkes, a two-year old,
$15,000; Mika.S 1.000; Star Bismarck $3,500; Kentucky Ham-
bletonian, $10,000; Bourbon Mark, $3,000; Lillti, $2,000;
Perfection, $1,500; Count Bismarck, $500. There was]no in-
surance.

Among some of the most prominent thoroughbred trainers
who a few years ago gave their attention exclusively to trot-
ters are Sam Bryant, B. J. Johnson, W. McGlynn, Ed. Cor-
rigaD, John A. Campbell. Cliff Porter. James F. Caldwell, the
starter, and his son; John Crocker. Frank Van Ness, B. J.
Treacy, William Letcher, Father Bill Daly. Willian Mc-
Mabon (Garrisons's father-in-law), W. P. Maxwell (the latest
addition in Lexington), John Madden, Dwyer Bros., Dan
Macauley, Dan Mozier, Lyle Simmons and Jack Chinn.

James McLaughlin, the premier jockey of America, and
Terra Cotta. tbe almost invincible crack of the Chicago stable,
were ruled off at Nashville on Thursday. The instructions
from the stable were, thatSantelene must win if possible, and
McLaughlin held in Terra Cotta to allow the stable compan-
ion to carry off the honors, but at the last moment Carrie C.
won by a nose, causing the judges to rule horse and rider off.

We have Electioneers, Stambolds, Wilkes, Directors and
Sidneys, but there is one other blood that has been overlooked
in the scramble for fine stock in this state. D. M. Beavis of
Cbico has scores of magnificent colts and fillies by his old
stallion Blackbird, and marvelous stories are told about the
speed of some of the youngsters. A number of entries will
be made this fall to show what speed the old^ horse can
transmit. When Blackbird made his record of 2/22 it is
generally supposed that every man in Butte County won a
new hat.

Some months ago I had occasion to call attention to the
splendid appearance of a young filly who was being trained
by Mr. Hickok, named None Better. She was the property of
the late Seth Cook, and has been sent back to the ranch. Mr.
Hickok, feeling assured that horses bred like her were of the
improving kiod. sent back word to see if there were any more
Allendorf -Bashaw Belle colts or fillies to be had. The answer
came, "There is only one here, a two-year-old, and she has
paced a mile this spring in 2:25-" It is probably needless to
say that tbe price asked for this wonderful filly is simply
prohibitive.

Be snre and attend the combination sale on Tnesday next,
if you wish to buy good pedigree stock. MesBrs. Killip & Co.
have carefully eliminated every entry that would not stand
the closest scrutiny, consequently prospective purchasers
may rest assured that whatever is offered for sale is of the
verv best. Tbe stock farms of M. Saulsbory, W. M. Hicks,
G. Valensin, F. M. BurVe, Mrs. Silas Skinner and other
noted breeders will contribute entries to the sale, which will
be positive and without reserve. If you do not visit the Bay
District track, aq May 11th you. are liable to miss great bar-
gains.

Henry Pierce has in the Bale of horses to be Bold by Killip
on the 14th inst. the pacer Sir Charles; with a little handling
went a half mile in 1:12. A two-year-old filly, Grace B. by
Stamboul out of Moor Maid, well broken and speedy. Prices
in the late sale in New York for the get of Stamboal, namely
twenty-four head, sold for an average of S3, 776, shows how
the blood is appreciated. Vernon, grandson of Nutwood and
RysdykV Hambletonian, is a great individual, and should
sell well. Standard N., a three-year-old stallion by Almore
(dam by John Nelson; second dam Belmont), dam of Stand-
ard N., being by Nutwood; second dam by George M. Pat-
chen Jr., is a well broken and speedy colt, and should bring
a large price. There are ten others, one of which is a saddle
horse not included in the catalogue.

When Mr. W. S. Hobart purchased Alma Mata there was a
condition attached to the sale. The mare was in foa! to
WiltoD, and it was stipulated that if the foal should prove a
filly the vendor should be allowed to purchase her for $2,750,
but if on the contrary it should prove a colt Mr. Hubart
might |keep it. DuriDg the night of May 3d the grand old
brood mare dropped a brown tilly foal, near hind foot white.
the off nind foot having a slight sprinkling of white hairs,
and very small star in forehead. The filly is all that could
be desired, having great bone aDd substance, and promises
to equal if not exceed auy of her dam's former progeny.

J. K. Newton*s Australian colt Derelect (by Robinson
Crusoe) arrived in SaD Frencisco on Wednesday last from
Sacramento. He ought to prove the most valuable colt in the
whole string, beiDg descended from the best racing blood in
Australia, Fisherman predominating in him to a marked
degree; but he has been ailiDg ever siDce his arrival, and is
now said to be suffering from bighead. If this is so, the case
is hopeless, but it is to be hoped Mr. Newton will have a
shade of luck, and fiDd that this is not the case, although it
probably is, for several of the horsemen iD Sacramento who
have seen a good deal of that disease assure me that the colt
is most certainly wasting under that deadly disease.

While looking at Gorgo in her stall in the old Dwyer stable
at Sheepshead Bay, now occupied by Matt Allen, Superinten
dent Frank Clark remarked to a reporter: "This stall, old
No. 1. has had more famous horses quartered in it since it
was built than any other in the country. Nearly all the
champions of the different years have looked over thisbar.and
its occupants have won almost a million of money on the
turf. Luke Blackburn. Hindoo, George Kinney, Miss Wood-
ford, Tremont and Hanover, and now Gorgo. Isn't that a
string of great ones? You observe how the ceiling is painted
blue, with a cross band of red. That was done by Hanover's
rubber two years ago when the colt swept the deck of the
three-year-old stakes, and won almost $90,000. I happened
along a few days before Hanover had been brought home
from Baltimore in the fall, and I found the boy hard at work.
It was a labor of love, and the home coming was a joyful one
I assure you."

When the news was telegraphed East that Racine and The
Czar were winners on the opening day of the Blood Horse
meeting, reporters swarmed around Sheepshead Bay to inter-
view Matt Allen in reference to the two colts. The following
is a fair average of what he told them all, "Racine was one
of the best looking yearlings that I aver saw, aDd I'm not
surprised at his good showing. He was sired by the horse
Bishop that carried 140 pounds on two occasions at Gutien-
burg a few weeks aeo, and snreadeagled his field, and is out
of imported Fairy Rose, by Kisber. The colt of Mr. Wiuters's
The Czar, that broke the Derby record, is a clinker when
you get him going. He is a great big lumbering sort of a
fellow, and you would thiok he was going to fall every min-
ute to see him gallop, but he has even more power than his
brother, the Emperor of Norfolk, and has tremendous mus-
cles behind His neck is thick and short, and his throttle is
wide enough to ramyonr fist into. He is sluggish, but I
guess Winchell, who is riding for that stable this year, rode
him up a bit in the Derby."

The races at Dixon on May Day were a great success, the
liberality of tbe managers iD providing large purses being
productive of sufficient entries to make the sport highly excit-
ing. The Tribune says: There wgre two events, one for
pacers in the 2:30 class, and tbe entries were John Skelton,
Thos. Rider, Belle Button and Little Doc, and they started
in the order Darned. Rider won the first heat, Little Doc
second. Belle Button third and Skelton fourth; time 2.-331.
Little Doc won the second heat; time 2:31. Belle Button
won the third heat; time 2:35$. The fourth heat was won by
Little Doc, John Skelton had Dot so far taken a heat, but his
friends were backing him for a stayer, and the result proved
that their calculations were correct. He won the fifth, sixth
and seventh heats, best time 2:40. In the 2:40 class for trot-
ters, there were only three entries, Dinah, Madura aod Brace-
let. Dinah was distanced in the second beat for running.
The race was an easy one for Bracelet, and his best time was
2:34. There were nine entries in the race to see which horse
could trot nearest four minutes. Edgar McFadven won in
3:53.

The walking match craze is again on ns, and Thursday
night saw the mamouth Pavilion crowded to the doors to
witness the start of the great sis-day go-as you. please race,
in which are entered the greatest walkers of tbe age. Every
attention has been paid to the details, ensuring comfort
and convenience to those whe attend. Albert declares
that he is going to break his own record, and there are
several others in the contest that swear he will have to to
win. At 8:30 Friday morning the score was as follows: —

Editor Breeder and Sportsman':— Mr. Gard. Kellogg
having been challenged by Mr. Dodge of Taeonia to shoot for
the medal which Mr. Kellogg holds, and has won from
Tacoma men several times, said medal having been put up
for competition between Tacoma and Seattle, and which if
won by present owner twice more, it will be his private
property, Mr. Kellogg named Seattle as the place, and April
20th as date of match, at 20 live pigeons, English rule*, which
event took place on said date and was won handily by Mr.
Kellogg by a score of 17 to Mr. Dodges score of 10.

After the above event sweepstakes were indulged in by
the Seattle and Tacoma shooters and sportsmen present,
scores of which I enclose. Trap shooting promises to be
lively the coming summer. In the recent team shoots be-
tween Tacoma and this place, Seattle won both matches for
$60 a side, 5 men to team.

Mr. H. McMurchy is expected here in a few days, also Mr
S. A. Tuoker.

Mr. W. S. Perry paid us a few days visit, and his now
visiting points along the Sound, and I think he intends loca-
ting permanently. Mr. Perry is a famous trap shot from
Braintree, Mass., and his scores some years ago were second
to none, but he has been Bhooting very little of late.

D SHOOTER'S SCORE.

Classiticalion.— Sec. 1. Any shooter to become eligible to
the tournaments given under the rules and management of
the American Shootiug Association muse qualify by sendiug
to the headquarteiB of the Association a certificate from the
president or secretary of a rpgularly organized gun club, of
which he is a member, giving, to the best of his knowledge
and belief, what be considers the shooter's average on inani-
mate targets. There certificates will be used in making up a
proper classification of the contestants. Blank forms will be
sent to any one on application. If the scores made by any
shooter give sufficient grounds for ohanging a shooter's claswi-
fication, the Association reserves tho right to make the
change.

Sec. 2. The classification of shooterB will be as follows:

Class A — To consist of all those whose average is 86 and
over.

Class B — To consist of all those whose average is from 70
to 85 in elusive

Class C— To consist of all those whose average is under 70.

California Wing Shooting1 Club.

The May meeting, held at San Bruno on Sunday last, was
a test of the spirit of the members of the fine old club. A
heavy rain poured down as the train time neared, but despite
the fact seven members and a few guests appeared and
braved the elements. When San Bruno was reached, the
day was fairly good, although the ground was 6loppy. As
good birds as are often seen were on hand and took lots of
killing.

The feature of the day was Mr. Ed Fay's remarkably good
work with the first barrel. He killed twelve straight in
the main match without using the second barrel once. His
birds were as hard as any that were pulled, but he fairly
smothered them before they were ten feet from the traps, and
yet he did not snap-shoot.

Dootor Knowles had some teazer and his score of ten was
very oreditable, as was the like number credited to Dncle
Robert Liddle, who seemed in his old time form and made
some rarely clever kills.

Mr. Norton was using a heavy new L.C.Smith, recently
built to his order and waB not quite as quick as he usually
is. The gun is a splendid performer.

Mr. Will De Vaull, the Secretary of the club, was a bit too
full of fun, and became so interested in his joking that he
did not shoot as well as usual.

Mr. Lewis also had an "off day," many of his birds were
darting tailers, always hard to hit, and the shooter did not
center them.

Mr. Day's score would have been eleven, but for a bit of
bad luck in losing three birds, dead out of bounds. He waa
uBing the Greener Hammerless formerly used by Dr. Carver,
a very fine gun. The scores were:

At 12 birds, Hurlingham. For Club trophies.

The Selby Smelting and Lead Company advertises it will-
ingness to 6end to all who may apply for them, the shootiog
rules recently formulated by the American Shooting Associa-
tion. The rules should be generally tried, bo that 1
weaknesses can be pointed out and revisions njmi
trap shooting can be done under the same rales .
tions.

The officers of the Chico Fair Association are deter-
mined not to let grass grow under their feet, as will bo
seen by their advertisement in another column, and they
announce to the world that their annual races will com-
mence on August 27th, and continue five days. We have
seen many hardly fought contests between both trotters
and thoroughbreds ou the tract in Chapmanto wji ,
probably the most memorable one being that between
Goldsmith Maid and Earus in 1877, when the Maid re-
duced the record in a race to 2:14-£. That was the day
John Splan said, "the gelding could have gone in 11
Bure," and he was correct in saying so, for if horse was
ever fit, Rarus was on that hot summer's day. The old
grey pacer Sweetzer 2:15, the little trotting wonder Ade
laide 2:19$, and the now renouned Beautiful Bells, have
all faced large audiences on that very fast track, and it
is to be hoped that many more will assemble at the tap
of the bell to get the word in August next. The resi-
dents of Chico are noted for their hospitality and those
who make entries, may rest assured they will receive a
welcome which cannot be surpassed in the State. The
purses are liberal and should be well patronized, which
they undoubtedly will be, for there are many of the old
time horsemen who have a warm spot in their hearts for
the garden city of the Sacramento Yalley.

The Al Farrow Case.

As we mentioned last week, Fred Carillo and James
Brown have been ruled off by the Blood Horse Associa.
t,ion for the pulling of the horse Al Farrow in the first
race. At the recent meeting, but in the original decis-
ion, the Directors exonerated the leasee of the horse, C.
"V. Tupper, from all blame in the matter. At once steps
were taken to have a rehearing for Brown, but the wit-
ness produced only gave him a good character, and there
was no evidence offered to refute the charges made at
the prior meeting, when the trainer was found guilty.
So Brown's case still stands as it was, with the exception
that the Diiectors have . promised to meet at anytime
when asked to do so, to hear any rebutting testimony
which may be gathered in his behalf.

After the exoneration of Tupper, the Directors held
another meeting to listen to the evidence of M. T. Wal-
ters, the owner of Al Farrow, who was desirous of stat-
ing what he knew about the case. The examination
was held with closed doors, aud the Directors refuse to
reveal what the character of the testimony was, but
enough has been gleaned from the witnesses themselves
to warrant the belief that the charges were sustained, at
any rate the fiat has gone forth. "Tupper and the horse
Al Farrow are suspended."

Under ordinary ruling it would seem that the sentence
was a light one, because if the evidence was of a conclu-
sive nature the verdict would have been expulsion, so
therefore it may be presumed that the testimony is more
of a circumstantial character than otherwise. Mr. Tup'
pef has many friends who feel extremely sorry for the
plight he is uow in, but the great majority say, that if
guilty it served him right. The association have so far
performed their part iu the drama, and it now only
remains for them to try and bring the equally guilty
bookmaker to justice.

"Let qo guilty maD escape."

A $10,500 Purse.

The following announcement is much in the nature of
a free advertisement, yet the breeders of California are,
or should be, so much interested, that we give this space
to the projectors. It may be as well to state before giv-
ing the scheme in detail, whenever horses are sold with
engagements, that the value is considerably enhanced,
consequently it behoves the breeders of California to
read the proposition very carefully, for in a year or two
from now, a hoise entered in this Btake will be eagerly
sought after, and large prices will be obtained for those
still perfect and able to show a turn of speed. Mr. E.
A. Buck of the New York Spirit of the Times is the
originator of the idea, and he ha,s named it

THE spirit purse
Of $10,500 for trotting foals of 1889; 55,000 to first,
§2,500 to second, SI, 500 to third, $2,000 to fourth, and
$500 in plate or money to the breeder of the winner.

Entrance, payable as follows: $10 with nomination
July 1, 1889; $10 Jan. 1, 1890, $10 July 1, 1890: $10
Jan. 1, 1891; $10 July 1, 1891* $10 January 1, 1892; $20
July 1, 1892; $20 Jan. 1, 1893, and $100 for starters,
payable July 1, 1893.

Race to be mile heatB, best three in five, in harness,
and to be trotted between July 20th and Oct. 15, 1893,
over a first class mile track, not west of St. Louis, to be
selected by the Editor of The Spirit. Date and track to
be governed by the Rules of the Association of which
the selected Track is ft member.

Should more than fifteen horses make final payment
and appear at the track on the day before the one fixed
for the race, a majority of the nominators or owner8
shall meet at the office of the Secretary or Manager of
the track at 8 o'clock p. >i., and divide the probable
starters into two or more classes, each of which shall
trot a preliminary race of the same conditions as herein
named, and only the best four of each class (distanced
horses excluded) shall compete in the final race for the
purse, which shall be trotted within three days after
the termination of the preliminary races, subject to the
customary postponements, though the same may extend
into another week. Should the scores of two or more
horses be equal for fourth place in either of the prelimin-
inary races, a heat between them shall be ordered by the
judges, to decide which shall be entitled to start in the
final race. It is further provided that in case more than
thirty horses appear at the track on the day before the
one fixed for the race they shall be divided into three
classes, each of which shall trot a preliminary race on
above conditions, and The Spirit will add 81,000 to each
preliminary race, to be divided between the first, second,
third and fourth horses in the same proportion as main
purses.

A National Game Law.

Harper's Monthly of May contains an interesting post
humous paper from Franklin Satterthwaiteon "The West,
ern Outlook for Sportsmen," in which he treats of the
great diminution of large game — buffalo, bear, mountain-
sheep, elk,deer and antelope — within the last thirty years.
Not only have these disappeared from their native habi-
tats and haunts, but almost entirely through the reck-
less destruction by skin-hunters and the classes who do
not hunt but kill and slaughter on every opportunity,
regardless of the game itself, and utterly unmindful of
its preservation, and of the benefit and delight it would
occasion to the generations of food-needing inhabitanta
and true sportsmen who are to come. The killers for
peltry are numerous and very distinctive, yet in com-
parison with the many who slaughter merely because
they can do so, without want or benefit to themselves,
they are of small account in the indiscriminate aggregate
slaughter of these wild animals.

Of the millions of buffalo which roamed the broad
plains less than forty years ago, there remain less than
one thousand, and these are under protection in the
National Park of the Yellowstone, and in the keeping of
parties who wish to save the species from total exter-
mination. A few small bands are preserved in secluded
localities by the Indiana, to whom they still furnish the
means of subsistence, as cattle are bred for the uses of
mankind. The transcontinental railroads and the spread
of settlements throughout the vast regions, formerly the
roaming grounds of the buffalo, have caused the separa-
tion of the great heids and created the multiplied
means to their decimation, but with all these encroach-
ments of enlightenment to be considered, the prodigious
slaughtsr of the splendid game must still rest to the
account of the thousands who wantonly kill and destroy
leaving the wounded to the ravenous feasting of wolves*
and the carcasses to the carrion feeders of the field and
air. II is the same in degree with the other species of
wild game, beasts and birds.

For the protection of this game Mr. Satterthwaite pro
poses legislation by Congress, besides the game laws o"f
States and Territories, the enactment of laws which wil^
remedy the evil and preserve the game in future. The
attempt to procure this order of legislation from Con
gress, has been made in past years, time and again, but
always unsuccessfully. The prospect is small that it
will receive due consideration now. Every year the
necessity becomes more apparent, as every year the
outrage of extermination goes on. The more feasible
method to its prevention appears to be iu local legisla-
tion. The Territories are growing into States. Already
the probability is clear that before another Congress
shall conclude its session, Washington, Montana and the
two Dakotas, will be admitted as States. Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico will soon follow,
and the rapidity with which Oklahoma is accumulating
population, justifies the prediction that early in the next
decade the only Territories of the United States will be
Alaska and those allotted to the Indians. As Territories
or States, the people of each have power to enact suita-
ble laws for the protection of game-fiesh, fowl and fish.
But this ought not to cause Congress to withhold its su-
preme authority. Assuming that Washington and Mon-
tana will be admitted into the Union as States during
the ensuing session of Congress, the proposition comes
with better reason therefore that, inasmuch as the States
of the ^Pacific contain the greater proportion of this game

and nearly all of the most valued species, it is from those
States the direct movement sbould be made in Congress
for the adoption of an adequate law upon the subject.
As California is the oldest of the Pacific States and has
the largest representation in Congress, it would be ap-
propriate that the bill for the purpose should be intro-
duced by a representative of California, who would un-
questionably have the backing of the whole Pacific
Coast representation to hi3 support, and with this great
geographical and important numerical strength to urge
the measure it could Dot fail to be successful.

The general government has already adopted a cognate
measure in regard to the fin seal and fish in the Behring
sea and Alaska islands and waters. Surely the Govern-
ment will not discriminate in favor of its seas and
islands, and seal and sea fish, and against its coast and
inland possessions, for the protection of the valuable
wild game which exists therein. This wild ga^ue is be-
sides more prized for the food and use of mankind,
and is more abundant, than that of which any other
country in the world is endowed.

There is a majesty and authority in the laws of Con-
gress which does not commonly appertain to the laws of
the State, and still less to the laws of a Territory. The
law governing timber lands and the forests they contain
can be cited as a pertinent example. The enforcement
of the law against trespassers and offenders upon this
Coast is familiar demonstration. It might not be soi
still it is a fact that the offender who recklessly defies, or
is unreasonably indifferent to the authority of the local
courts, is posspssed of a mysterious awe when summoned
before a Federal Court, to plead to an indictment of a
United States grand jury, and stand trial by a jury
empaneled accordingly. A national game law would at
least work in harmony with the similar lawa of the
State and assure the better protection of game.

Every good citizen ought to feel himself a constituted
guardian of the game and enter complaint against the
transgressor. A few examples will impress upon of-
fenders the consequence of their disregard of the law,
and serve as good warning to all. Already this month
the local newspapers have reported the slaughter of fish
by dynamite in Cache creek by Chinese, and the unlaw-
ful killing of deer in the upper portion of Sonoma Co.
No arrests have been made. Therein rests the fault.
Failure to arrest offenders encourages the commission of
the offence. Prompt punishment is needed. "Wherein
the State law is defective or proves inadequate, the fear
of national law might avail. It can do no harm"and
may work good effects. The proposition is worthy of
the attention of the representatives in Congress from
California. Good citizens will give praise and feel
grateful to the Congressman who will introduce the bill
and applaud the Congress that shall make it a law.

You unquestionably know the breeder and full breeding of
the trotting wonder, Arab, 2:15. Kindly furnish the infor-
mation in Questions and Replies.

Answer. — Mr. Malone, who owned the mare when she was
bred, writes as follows: "His dam is Lady Hercules, by im-
ported Hercules, '2d dam Nettie George, by Norfolk, his Bire,
Gen. Benton, now the property of Senator Stanford."

F. S. Malone.

Mr. Corbitt contends that Arab was out of Lady Hamilton
by Arthurton, and not out ot Lady Hercules.

There are still others who claim that Gen. Benton is not
the sire, but that Lady Hercules was served that seaaon by
Electioneer.

The following letter has been received concerning the
breeding of Gilpatrick. At the same time we wish to thank
Wilfred Page, of Penns Grove, and Thomas Clark, of Spring-
ville, for the same information.

Petaluma, Cal., May 6, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I bought Gilpatrick of
Mr. John O'Brien, and owned him for three years, and after-
wards sold him to Mr. E. Poe, of Healdsburgh. 1 conclude
that he iB the horse Mr. H. H. is trying to learn the pedigree
of, and as I still have it in manuscript form, just as I got it
with the horse. I send it to yon. I was told at the time I got
it, that it was in Mr. John Welsh's handwriting, and that he
brought his dam, then carrying Gilpatrick, to Oregon, in
company with Rifleman. If you do not print the pedigree as
I send it, please return it to me, as I wish to keep the breed-
ing of Gilpatrick; but if you do print it, I can cut it from
your valuable paper, as I am a regular subscriber.

Yours, J. R. Rodehaver.

A Great Trap-Shootirjg Project.

Trap shooters who were in the field seven or eight years
ago must remember the occasions of rare sport when the
great inter-clab team matches were the vogue. The matches
between the Cosmopolitan and the California Clnbs attracted
hundreds of spectators, and were most exciting.

The event at Folsotu. to which teams from a dozen or more
clubs were sent, was the greatest trap meeting ever held in
California. The contests between the Alameda County and
the Gun Club, at Bird's Point, were very fine in all respects,
and others will be recalled of equal interest. For several
years such matches between clubs from different sections
have been suffered to lapse, and it is about time they were
renewed.

Teams of five from the clubs of San Francisco, San Diego,
Los Angeles, San Jose, Vacaville, Stockton, Sacramento,
Riverside and other centers of shooting interest, could easily
be induced to meet at some central point, such as Stockton,
Sacramento, this city or San Juse, to shoot for a valuable
trophy.

The trophy might be purchased by contributions from the
competing clubs, or it might possibly be offered by tbe Selby
Company or some other great business house indirectly inter-
ested in shooting. The targets, whether live birds or inani-
mate, could be selected, togeiherwith the rules to govern the
shooting by an advisory committee of one from each of the
clubs, which committee could also arrange the details about
place of meeting, time, etc.

Several leaders in trap shooting, such as Mr. J. H. Jellett,
President of the Gun Club, Dr. S. E. Knowles of the Cali-
fornia Clnb, Mr. Cbas. Flohr of the Pacific Gun Clnb at Sac-
ramento, Mr. Ed. Fay, Mr. Frank Coykendall of the San
Jose Clflb, Mr. Ghas. Haas of Stockton, and others, to whom
the matter has been mentioned, unite in favoring it strongly,
and with such backing it could not fail.

A noted trap shot of Sacramento makes the following sug-
gestions relative to the matter, and we shall be glad to receive
thfl views of others. The correspondent writes:

I can truthfully state the project of a grand shooting con-
test is becoming popular remarkably fast here. I think every
member of the Pacific Gun Club is in favor of some kind of
contest Biruilar in most respects to the one under discussion.
The Forester Gun Clnb, a sDlendid body of experts, is enthus-
ing fast also. I have spread the report that almost without
doubt some kind of a contest would be the outcome of your
timely suggestion, hopiDg by so doing to open sleepy, dor-
mant eyes that something out of the general order of things
can only open and develop a "boom" I think I have been
successful. I think the less preliminary skirmishing we
have and the sooner we can get down to business, the better
it will be, because sometimes booms are self-consuming and
don't last. The blacksmith hits the iron while it iB hot, so
let us, if we hope to develop our exemplary idea, do some-
thing without very much delay. How are the shooters of S.
F? I meaD, are they taking a goodly amount of interest in
the Bcheme ?

In answer to your questions. 1st, I am inclined to think
our boys prefer the contest to be an inter-club contest. They
seem to think if there be any glory in it they want the club to
which they belong to capture some of it, if possible. We
could probably put a better team in the field were it other-
wise. 2d. If Stockton and other localities conie in, I cannot
Bee how we can arrange shooting dates satisfactory to each
town represented. A complication arises here, that is, if this
Beries-of -matches system be accepted. My idea is, if more than
San Francisco and Sacramento come in, the best way to do
would be to get a trophy and shoot at some central point {all
the clubs) for the trophy, and have it stipulated the club
which captures the cup must defend it from all comers be-
longing to the league, so to speak, for, say sis months or a
year. This system. I think, would work with "less friction
than the other. Of course the challenging club would have to
shoot on the grounds of the club challenged. The shooting
fraternity of quite a large scope of country might thus wit-
ness the shooting of each team before the final disposition of
the trophy. If San Francisco and Sacramento only shoot, I
say, let the two clubs shoot a serieB of three matches, and
the club winning two take the trophy home and glorify it.

3d. I think that the question of a trophy is of least
moment. After the match is further developed, a way, no
doubt, will appear. My idea is, if we cannot get outside help
in this matter, which the shooters have no trouble whatever
East in doing:, then the only alternative left would be for the
clubs to draw warrants on their respective treasurers for the
wherewithal to purchase such a trophy that would be worth
shooting for. I think it would be well if three or four clubs
come in to have the representatives of the several clubB moet
personally at the most convenient point and discuss all ques-
tions.

In conclusion I assure you the boys here are desirous of a
quiet, pleasant, friendly, gentlemanly shoot, principally to
get on better terms of acquaintance with the gentlemanly
shooters of San FranciBco, and although tbe probabilities are
we will be "downed," yet most of us are of the material
which is usually found in good trap- shooters, and conse-
quently we won't Bulk and be mean and contemptible.

The Blue Kock Club at its last meeting adopted the rule of
the American ShootiDg Association, and will shoot under
them hereafter.

The reunion shoot at San Bruno tomorrow seems to have
neither head, body, nor tail. We have made strenuous efforts
to get accurate information, bat at present writiog (Thurs-
day) cannot learn whether there is to be a shoot or not.

The Blue Rock Club shoots this afternoon at the Lincoln
Club grounds on Shell Point, Alameda Mole. The grounds
are reached via the South Pacific Coast Railway, taking the
12:45 p. m. boat. The match will be a "walking match" at
5 sir.^les and 5 pairs.

Southern California Kennel Club.

A large number of the dog fanciers of Los Angeles and vic-
inity assembled at the Tuft"Lyon3 gun store on May 1st for
the purpose of organizing a Kennel Club. The meeting was
cilled to order by the election of H. T. Payne as chairman,
and H. W. Walton as secretary. After some discussion of
the objects and purposes of the club. It was decided to
effect a permanent organization, and the following gentlemen
were elected officers: H. T. Payne, President; J. F. Holbrook,
First Vice-President; J. E Preston of Daurte. Second vice-
President; J. J. Han'ord Secretary, and E. B. Tufts. Treas-
urer. A committee consisting of J. J. Hanford, H. W. Wal-
ton and E. B. Tufts was appointed to confer with the Los
Angeles county Poultry Association and offer them the hearty
co-operation of the club in the association's coming poultry
and bench Bhow. The secretary was instructed to communi-
cate with the secretary of the American Kennel Club, with a
view of hecoming a member of the National Association. The
name selected was the Southern California Kennel Club, and
an invitation was extended to all fanciers of the counties
comprising Southern California to become members, either by
application in person or through the mail.

The club starts out with a good membership, embracing
many of the most prominent dog man of the country, who
own animals of great excellence, the setter, pointer and mas-
tiff interests being particularly well represented. The club
should receive generous support from all sections of the
Coast.

The Southern California Kennel Club should have the
co-operation of all doggy men. Its president, Mr. H. T.
Payne, is a royal good man and makes every thing '"go" that
he interests himself in. A circuit of clubs and shows, embrac-
ing Victoria, Seattle, Portlaud, this city and Los Angeles
ought to pay their way beside being delightful event0.

Pacific Kennel Club.

The Pacific Kennel Club advertises elsewhere the attrac-
tions to be offered at its bench show, which begins on May
22d and closes on May 25th in Mechanics Pavilion. The
inducements to visit the show will be such as to attract pretty
much all fanciers, as well as all cf those who can admire
quality in domestic animals and feathered bipeds, even
though (hey do not go in for ownership. A premium list
covering all classes of dogs, poultry and pigeons, as well as
the usual line of pets, such as singing birds, rabbits, squirrels,
Guinea pigs, ferrets and cats has been sent out to all possible
exhibitors, and tbe responses indicate that the show will be
a great one in size. Special prizes of great value, and to the
number of 150, have been offered, amoog them a splendid
list secured in Los Angeles by Mr. H. T. Payne, President
of the Southern California Kennel Club. Los Angeles, as
represented by Mr. Payne, hiB colleague "Dagworth" and
other citizens is never behind in promoting interest in sport.
The Paoific Kennel Club has also a splendid, energetic, far-
sighted and popular president in Mr. Ramon E. Wilson, and
an Executive Committee of business men of commanding
position in the persons of Mr. John M. Adams, Mr. Wm.
Schreiber, Mr. Thos. 0. O'Keeffe, Mr. John H. Wise, Mr.
Clarence A. Haight, Mr. H. B. Brown and Mr. H. W. M.
Sandbach. Secretary Watson is prompt and tireless in per-
forming his duty, and all of the sub-committees connected
with the show are working faithfully. The henching will be
of the best quality, roomy, and well kept, and will be in
readiness May 21st, the day before the show opens. Me-
chanics Pavilion is as good a place for a dog and poultry
show as there is in the world, being warm, dry, airy, light,
roomy and central. It will be kept during the show as un-
exceptionably clean and free from odors as it was last year,
and will be the popular craze among society people. If a list
of visitors to the sbow last year had been kept, the names of
about all of the notables of the oity, both ladies and gentle-
men, would have appeared. Entries close next Tuesday Dight
at 12 o'clock at the club office, 624 Market Street, and the
list up to the present writing is a grand one.

Mr. William Graham who will judge the dogs at the P. K.
C. show this month, leaves two fashionably bred Irish ter-
riers in the public Btud at Belfast, Ireland, his home. They
are Breda Star, whelped June, ISS7, and wtuner of first in
London and Edinburgh, and Benedict, whelped in April,
18S5.

Speaking of an EcgliBh fancier who has recently left Hnd-
dersrield, Eng., to locate in America, the Stock-Keeper and
Fanciers' Chronicle, a little disposed toward acerbity, says:

"So George Wilsou leaves the old country with a clear
record. None of tbe Englishmen who have emigrated in
search of a wider field for the employment of their abilities can
lay claim to a tithe of the canine knowledge possessed by Wil-
son. Some of them were specialists of one or two breeds, and
others have managed to wheedle tbft American press into
giving them credit for doggy reputations they never enjoyed
in this country; in fact, tbe English kennel world is periodi-
cally amused to learn from our American friends of the
important positions supposed to have been held by persons
in this country who, when at home, were nobodies outside
their own breed and their own set." ,

Mr. Bernard Waters' Book.

"Modern Training, Handling and Management, by B*
Waters (Kingrail)," Chicago, 1SS9, price $2.50, in cloth, is
the best investment that can be made by any sportsman who
ever shoots over dogs, or expects to do so. More practical
wisdom, thorough knowledge, shrewd reasoning, skilled ap-
plication of training methods, keen analysis of faulty pract-
ices, and general good sense iu relation to pointing dogs,
their breeding, raising, training and handling, can be fonnd
in Mr. Water's handsome octavo than in all other books on
the subject together. The author is first, a sportsman by
birth and training^ second, a man of classical education and
disciplined mind; third, for many years a trainer, handler
and reporter of field trials; fourth, a writer of vigorous, un-
mistakable English. His opportunities for seeing, under
the most favorable conditions, the orack pointiug dogs of
America, have been unequalled. While a trainer he was pop-
ular, and hiB string was always full, so that he doeB not lack
actual experience. As a field trial handler he was not a bril-
liant success, simply because of his punctilious courtesy and
desire to be perfectly fair, which disinclined him to that ex-
ceeding alertness and willingness to push his own dogs, even
at the expense of an opponent's, which can be noted in the
most successful handlers of tbe day.

In such space as can be commanded this week, it is im-
possible to enter upon a close critique of the book. Indeed
it* contents can only be barely outlined.

The volume begins with some discussion of the origin of the
setter, and the conclusion is reached that there is no authen-
tic history of the breed. The comparative excellence of the
various Better breeds is touched upon and illustrations given
of what the author considers typical does, those of Elcho Jr.
and Paul Gladstone being positively beastly and as unlike
the dogs as can be. There is no character to Elcho Jr. as
shown, and Paul Gladstone's lines are on the lighest field
trial type, not those of a dog of great substance, as he appears
in the illustrations. The picture of famous Roderigo is very
accurate and a likenesB

Dr. Rowe's Pegjim, a dog of good form is well pictured,
but Mr. Waters would have done better if "he had Bhown a
sister to Pegjim. named Pegfly, and to our notion in coat,
and all else but neck, head and markings, a brother of
Pegjim, named Pegmatite, a dog by the way in which we
hold an interest gained by appropriation, is better. Mr.
Waters is guilty of a glaring sin of omission in hiB English
setter illustrations. He should have had a perfect portrait
cf Gladstone.

Barring his short and thick bead, Gladstone is the perfect
English setter in every respect, and should have appeared to
f iirnish a proper type to students and breeders.

In succeeding chapters, Mr. Waters skilfully shows the
errors and weaknesses common to amateur trainers, and in
a caustic way impresses his opinions. Beginning the sub-
ject of training, he illustrates, describes and teaches, the ap-
plication of the best training appliances the spike collar, the
whip, the check cord and the whistle, and while not invar-
iably flouting that uncertain and generally ineffective method
known as the "suasive,"be clearly favorB the "force" system.
Upon yard breaking and retrieving the author is explicit,
clear and especially instructive. Bad retrievers are common;
in fact good ones are rare, and the chapter if closely studied
and followed will go near to remedying the evil. Pointing is
exhaustively discussed and most happily, and a like remark
might be made about the chapters on ranging, drawing and
roading, backing, quartering and brace work.

Shyness the author does not believe to be hereditary, and
in that belief he will be supported by most men; only those
who are reckless with puppies being in opposition. The
author properly regards blinking as the worst fault in a field
dog, and he patiently suggests means of overcoming the vice,
without, however, mentioning that sovereign cure which
should be administered to every persistent blinker, viz., an
ounce of shot, applied by means of a shot-gun, and three
drachms of powder to the occipital protuberance of the
blinking benst. The skin of a blinker make6 a good mat if
the dog is flayed soon after blinking a dozen times. Writing
of unsteadiness, Mr. Waters shows that Boperb grasp of all
training knowledge which has made him the soundest author-
ity of the day. As in his other chapters, he impresses the
necessity of quick perception of constitutional and tempera-
mental differences in dogs, and the wisdom of preserving all
natural good qualities unimpaired; the theory being that the
natural energies shall be firmly guided into useful channels,
not perverted or suppressed by any cast-iron, rigid system
of arbitrary rules for breaking.

Mr. Waters' ideal dog is naturally of an order of merit rare-
ly seen, but the author, in his suggestions, covers not only
the training of those marvellous animals sometimes seen,
which have grand form, superior stamina, high courage, ex-
cellent nose, sensible, impressionable mind. stroDg hunting
instinct, and peculiar susceptibility to firm, kind, invariable
control, but also the mediocre dogs, vastly in the majority,
some of which must be tenderly guided, some sharply co-
erced, some left to develop almost without interference, and
some sent back to owners as worthless. Thoroughly assimi-
lated, put in practice until manual dexterity and instant
applicability are attained, then strictly adhered to. Mr.
Waters' directions for conditioning, training and handling
pointers and setters may safely be adopted as the sole and
best attainable guide by all trainers, amateur and profession-
al. Mr. Waters has seen fit to add some directions for train-
ing house and guard dogs. The suggestions are good, but
might better have been amplified and issued in a little vol-
ume separately. Several chapters on kennel management,
raising puppies, feeding, breeding, etc.. form a most valuable
appendix to the book proper. Tbe advice is all good, and in
Buch form as to meet the needs of the average unprofessional
owner. Typographically, the book is a credit to the firm
which printed it, but the proof rending was carelessly donp.
and should be placed in more careful hands when a future
edition is issned.

The book is the one modern authority upon tbe subjects
treated, and mnst reach the bands of every sportsman and
dog owner. The author may be addressed at Box 166, Chi-
cago, IU , or orders may be handed to Messrs. Clabrough &
Golcher, 630 Montgomery Street, city.

Mr. J. K. Newton visited San Rafael on Sunday la-t and
saw the litter of fox terriers recently presented to Mr. Vin-
cent Neil by bis Daisy. The puppies are by Mr. Newton's
Teddy, and are pronounced very fine by all judges. It is a
singular omission by the Pacific Kennel Club, that no prizes
are offered for fox terrier bitches with litters.

In the London Shooting Times, E'litoi Clement makes tbe
amende honorable to Jas. E. Watson, whom he recently
scored because he thought him to be Mr. James Watson o:
PhUadelphia.

ATHLETICS.

Olympic Club Tournament.

The amateur boxing tonrnament for all weights, which has
attracted very large numbers of members and visitors to the
Olympic Clnb dnring the week, was concladed on Wednes-
day evening last. President William Greer Harrison, himself
one of the madiest of men, has insisted throughout his most
successful administration now in its third year, that boxing
Bhould be encouraged both for its beneficent effects in phy-
sical culture, and its immeasurable development of that
patience, tolerance and self control so necessary to gentle-
men. President Harrison is a finished boxer, and has been
unremitting in efforts to fo« ter interest in the sport, and furnish
the best attainable instructors. The late tournament proved
both the practical wisdom of the grand president, and the
fact that the Olympic Club, together with kindred organiza-
tions, have cume to an appreciation of the unselfish man
who has done so much for amateur athletics in California.
The prizes offered were tasty and creditable to the club, and
the entry list was the largeBt and best ever made in the Stite.
Details of all the bouts would be wearying, but some general
notes may be worth making. The average merit of the com-
petitors were higher than ever before in all the weights. The
olub sent icvitations to EaBtern organizations and two gen-
tle responded, Mr. Dan O'Brien at bantam weight, from the
Pastime Athletic Club of New York, and Mr. Dan Kelly, a
lightweight of the Cbicago Athletic Association. The visitors
provided to be modest, deasant men, and finished boxers.
Their clubs may well be "proud of them, and they leave here
as many warm friends as they have acquaintances. Mr.
O'Brien takes away second prize in his class, end Mr. Kelly
first prize at light weight, but neither is a "mog hunter, "
and both 6nd their pleasure in having fairly overcome com-
petitors so skilfull.

The Olympic Club entries scored but one win, that by Mr.
W. J. Zelner, at middle weight, and that win was due leBs to
clean, straight hitting and stopping, than to blind, wild,
swinging blows. Mr. Zelner is powerful, has good wind and
is game, but he should learn the art of boxing. His opponent
in the final bout, Mr. Hagan, had much the better of it in
points and style, until compelled by weakness to stop in the
fourth round.

At feather weight Mr. F. L. Cooley and Mr. A. Eahwyler
of the California Athletic Club won first and second respect-
ively. They were as unlike in every respect as possible.
Mr. Eahwyler is a compact, powerful and quick man who
trusts to "rushing and landing with the right on the chin or
neck of an opponent. His guard is bad, and he leaves him-
self very open to a jabber like Cooley, who is clever and cool
headed. Cooley cut hiB tierce competitor down smoothly and
prettily, and won a hard race with something to spare.
, In heavy weights no one of the weight went rip against
Mr. Kitchen of the Acme Club, but Mr. W. Gallagher of the
same club a middle weight opposed him, first prize going to
Kitchen and second to Gallagher. Mr. Kitchen has tilled
out into a hundred and ninety pound man, has loog reach,
is a good boxer, and in every way a formidable opponent.

The prize-winners in the tournament were as follows:
Bantam, Fred Cook of the Golden Gates, first, and Daniel
O'Brien, of the Pastime Club, New York, second; feather-
weights, F. L. Cooley, ot the California Club, tiist, and A.
Kahwyler of the same club, second; light-weights, Daniel
Kelly of the Cbicago Athletic Association, first, and George
Maioney second; middle-weights, W. J. Z.lner of the Olym-
pic Club, first, and Ed Hagan second; heavy-weights, J.
Kitchen of the Acme Club, first, and W. Gallagher of the
same clnb. second. It will thus be seen that the Olympic
Club took bot one prize, the Golden Gate Club one, the
California Club two, the Acme Club two, the two Eastern
cluba one eaoh. The rest of the winners were unattached.

The first prizes are Diamond medals, or jewelry of the value
of $100, and the second prizes gold medals or jewelry of the
value of $50.

During the evening President Harrison presented trophies
to the winners in the recent ca!ch-as-catch-can tournament:
Middle-weight, E. A. Kolb; lieht-weight, W. A. Field;
feather. weight, E. C. Jones first, E. J. Evan second.

Leader Walter A. Scott acted as master of ceremonies, and
was a brilliant success, there being no delays at any time.
The referee was Mr. Hiram B. Cook, and his deciBionB were
all sustained.

It has been 'intimated that Mr. El. A. Kolb, a leading
amateur of the Olympic Clnb, had lost amatner standing by
accepting from the California Athlelic Club free membership
and remission of dues, in retorn for his presence and active
participation during exercising hours at the last named club.
Those who know Kolb need not be told that he would not do
such a thirg, nor is it likely that the California Clnb would
desire the membership of any one under snob conditions. At
all events, Mr. Kolb paid bis entrance fee to the California,
pays his dues, and is as much an amateur as he ever waB, or
as any one else is.

The Olympic Club's instructor in boxing, Mr. J. J. Corbett,
has been given a needed vacation, and is spending it at
Tamalpais Villa, Marin Con nty, under the care of a compe-
tent trainer, who will fit him perfectly for a bout with M-
Chozoski BOme time in June. Mr. Corbett has youth
strength, p9rlect knowledge of the art of self dVt
highest courage, and great confidence in his ability
a good showing against his clever opponent. II
best wishes of a whole city full of admirers.

Alexander's Record, fc:3l i-4!

DESCRIPTION".

Alexander Button Is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail; stands !5-33f hands high; weighs
1.20U poundB.and Is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of 2:2.8)$, and when
four years old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of2:26W- Has been drivena mile in 2:16 in bis four-
year-old form, and has been driven a last half in 1 :0 .
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
through the speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to hiB offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a tbree-year-old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosle Mc, as a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks: has
a record of 2:20if. R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2 :16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 16 to 2:20. Considering
that Alexander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his colts show him to be a won-
derf ul producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
strvice, be is the cheapest and moat wonderful horse
in the State.

Prince Imperial.

Description.— PRTNCE IMPERIAL is a black
horse, 15-3 handB high; weighs 1,150 pounds, and is a
model of beauty, action and power.

Pediobeb.- Sired by Black Prince, he by Dictator,
own brother to Dexter, dam Daisy by Wittierell Mes-
senger, he by Winthrop Messenger, son of imp. Mes-
senger.

Mr. Peter Brandow'B statement in regard to Prince
Imperial: "I met A. Weeke in the Park in 1887 driving
the abovehorse.bothstrangers tome. I was driving
a good horse, but the above horee, hitched to a phaeton,
heat me easily, I followed him to rind out what horse
It was, and he finally allowed me to hi'ch him to a
snlky, which I did, and drove him easily in 2:a2Ji. I
think him one amongst the best horses in California,
and firmly believe that in six months I can drive him
in 220." Peteb Brandow.

Trainer of trotters for 25 years.

In 1881, while visiting Salt Lake City, I saw the colt
Prince Imperial, and bought him for my own use, and
have use i him for family purposes ever since. In
offering him for public service last year, not knowing
anything about horses' pedigreeB I made a mistake In
his. I wrote to the owner of the mare in * alt Lake,
Dr. S. E. Young, and he says she waa by Henry Clay,
brought from Kentucky by him.

Will make the season of 1SS9 at the farm of A. Weske,

Prince of Norfolk,

Will Make tlie Season of 1889. from Feb.
lata to July 1st, at Sacramento.

PEDIGREE.

PRINCE OF NORFOLK, chc, foaled 1881, by Nor-
folk: 1st dam Marion by Malcolm; 2nd dam Maggie
Mitchell by imp. Yorkshire; third dam Charmer by
Imp. Glencoe;4rndam Betsy Malone by Stockholder;
5th dam by Potomac; 6th dam by imv. Diomed; 7<li
dam by Pegasus, etc. Norfolk, the unbeaten son ot
Lexington, is tha Pire of Winters, Twilight, Connor
Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood, Duchess of JNorfoIki
Lou Spencer.the Great Emperor of Norfolk, an< manj
others. AJarion'u sire, Malcolm, was one of the first
liorseB to bring Bonnie ScotUnd into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell ctosb comes the blooil of two of
the niOBt celebrated race mares of their day, Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these great
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marion, as is instanced in the case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who is a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The bloo'i lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it
ts fair to assume that th« get of this stallion will show
equally well with those ot past generations.

TERMS. $50 for the season. We offer flrBt clasB pas-

GRNTLn;>fKS:-We have used Ossidine for the past two rears
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curbs, Ringbone
and Spavins; there is nothing equals it; and for us it effected a
permanent cure where firiDg failed, although perfoimed by one of
the mosc successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recoil imendad it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit than anv blister ever used.

By Conner, dam Delia Walker. The property of M. T. Walters, Lake County, Oregon.

We present to oar renders this week an exceedingly good
picture of Al Farrow, about whom there has been so much
contention in the Pacific Coapt Blood Horse Association, and
for the possession of which the courts in Sacramento have
been appealed to this week. There is no need of giving an
elaborate description of the horse, as the artist has turned
out such an exact likeness of Al Farrow that the reader can
see for himself what a large, finely-built fellow he is. While
massive in appearance, there is nothing that indicates coarse-
ness in his make-up, beiDg the perfect type of a race horse

from muzz'e to tail. He has a fine, large, intelligent head,
grand neck, well set in a good pair of shoulders ; to the eye he
is coupled rather long, but gives one the appearance of beiDg
able to carry any amount of weight. He is a very muscular
looking horse; in fact, his gaskiDs, upper thigh, quarters
and loiD are a study. There is only one fault with him-
and that is his forelegs. They do not seem heavy enough
to carry the large body which Al Farrow has. He is noted for
his garoeuess, being one of the best finishers ever seen on a
track, but there seems to be a dispute ns to whether he can

go over a mite or not. It is true he has won at a mile and an
eighth, but only in moderate company. He started last year.
according to the Guide, in seventeen races, of which he won
eight, being second in six and unplaced three times. Al
Farrow was brought into great prominence by his San Jose
performance, where, although he was an open two lengths to
the bad when the flag fell, t till managed to win from Geral-
dine by a nose in 1:40. The daily papers at once notified
the public that $20,000 bad been offered for the hor

Dwyer Bros., but no such offer was ever made, the item being
the creation of some visionary reporter.

On the first day of the late Blood Horse meeting, Al Farrow
was entered in the initial race, but came in fourth, Brutus
being the victor. Carillo, the jockey, afterwards said he had
been paid to pull the horse, whereupon the Directors of the
Association held several meetings, and ultimately ruled off
Carillo, Brown, the trainer, and suspended Tupper and the
horse. Mr. Walters, who owns Al Farrow, brought suit in
the Sacramento courts to regain possession of his property,
but up to the time this sketch was written, the decision wae
not known. Al Farrow is a beautitnl bay, one fore foot and
one hind foot white, with a star in forehead; stands almost
16 hands, and will weigh aboat 1,075 pounds.

Notable Horses of Sonoma.

Editor Bkeedee and Sportsman: — The tnrf meetings of
the season in Sonoma district promise to be of unnsnal inter-
est, judging from the entries, the character of owners, and the
classes of the Btables. This year Mr. W. B. Sauborn has the
lease of the fine traok and handsome grounds of the Sonoma
(Jcnnty Agricultural Association. He is a good manager, an
enthusiastic turfman, and is experienced in the business.
The deeper interest taken in breeding and turf sportB in the
district are every year better developing. As I have remarked
in previous corresDondence, the advent hereof Anteeo caused
inoreased attention to Btock improvement in thoroughbred
line and that of high grades, and this has been augmented by
the bringing of Dawn and other noted sireB of superior blood.
Now that A'nteeo is gone from the State his line is more
prized, aud maDy regret that they did not take advantage of
the opportunity to breed from him and procure fine mares
for the purpose. But he has to Bucceed him many worthy
sods of excellent dams, devoted by their owners to the stud,
and the product of these already seen are earnest that the
blood is not deteriorating, and is becoming more valued. In
former letters I have named some of these, and since care
and inquiry have enabled me to make mention of many more,
without omission of any, to the extent of present opportuni-
ties:

George E. Gnerne and Bnfus Mnrphy, large lumber mill
owners of Guerneviile, have in partnership nineteen sons and
daughters of Anteeo, ranging from sucking colts to four-
year-olds Two of these are from fine Nntwood dams, and
show promise of great speed, endurance and leading qualities
in every respect. All are very satisfactory colts.

Mr. Gnerne has besides Alfred G., a bay stallion four years
old, by Anteeo, dam Speculation, with record at three years
of 2:31.

A. McFadyen, another large lumber mill owner of Guerne-
viile, nas Redwood, stallion, four years old, record at threes
years of 2:30J, dam by Occident. His full sister, Ethel Mc,
two vears old, which showed a quarter in 45 seconds, Mr.
McFadyens sold to Mr. Knox of Kentucky, for §2,000. He
has bIbo a sucking colt, Alleen, dam Lou Milton by Milton
Medium, a dark bay, very pretty.

Wyman Mnrphy of Santa Kosa, lumber mill in Eureka, has
Maud M., four years old, dam by McCraoken's Blackhawk.
She has never been worked, but shows speed and mettle;
also, a sucking colt, dam Addie, by Antelop and Nutwood.

John M.Baillacbe of HealdBbng, Auteupe, yearling, dam by
A. W. Bicbmond, half sister to dam of Anteeo. The colt is
gray, after dam.

T. J. Ludwig, Santa Bosa, filly, four years, dam Rosy Mao,
now in training, and Bhows well; also a colt, three years,
dam by Jupiter.

A. W. Biiey, Santa Kosa, a filly, Black Bees, three years,
dam Messenger, and a two-year-old filly, neither yet worked.
Henry Baker, Santa Bosa, two fillies, one two years, the
other a suckling.

E. A. Seegelkin, Santa Bosa, Mamie J., four years, and a
suoking colt.

Harvey Peck, Healdsburg, two-year-old colt, dam by John
Nelson.

Robert Crouse, Santa Rosa, a suckling colt, dam by Alex-
ander.

Henderson Holmes, Santa Rosa, two fillies — three-year-old
and yearling.

"Wilfred Page, Peun's Grove, a filly, dam by Gray MoGlel-
lan.
Judge Hudson, Lakeport, two fillies, two years old.

. Armington, Lakeport, a colt, two years old,

M. Star, Lakeport, yearling colt, dam Countess by Dod,
and three sucking colts.

John M. Laughlin, Mark "West, Dolly, 4 years, Carrie and
Lida, 3 years, dams by McClellan and Rattler; and Ben
Franklin, 2 years, dam Morgan.

James H. Laughlin, Mark WeBt, two fillies, Rocksie and
May Day, 4 years, dams thoroughbred mares by Leviathan
and McClellan; sUllion Beware, 3 years, dam by McClellan,
thoroughbred granddam; Mark L, 3 years, thoroughbred dam
by Leviathan; 4mfi.no, 1 year, thoroughbred dams by Levia-
than; all bays.

Iaaac DeTurk, Santa Rosa, Anti-Coolie, 4 years, record at
3 years, 2:43, dam by Rattler, a dark bay; also twenty-one
colts and fillies, from foals to 4 years old; all bays except
one, a gray.

Thos- Jennings, San Francisco, a colt, 3 years, training at
Oakland Park.

Riley of Petaluma, 4-year-old filly and 3-year-old colt, dam
by Alexander.

Sid Sperry, Petaluma, 2-year-old filly, dam by Sultan; very
promising.

Allen Box, Glen Ellen, and George E. Ladd, San Francisco,
each have fine Anteeo colts.

Dr. Wm. Finlaw, Santa Bosa, at Rosedale breeding farm,
Kingcraft, 4 yearB, dam Nancy by McClellan; Laurel Dale, 3
years, dam Danville Maid by Don Juan.

Matt Roney, Santa Bosa, Bucking colt of fine promise, dam
a Norfolk mare.

Guy E. Grosse, Santa Rosa, Sunset, stallion, 4 years, trial
mile in 2:36 at 3 yearB in the stud, dam BeBsie S. of Whipple's
Hambletonian and George M. Patchen strain, 16-i bauds,
splendid action, high speed, thorough form and good dispo-
sition; Btallion Anteeof, 2 yearp, dam Taylor mare; Anteeop,
2 years, dam Bessie S., is entered in the Distriot stake for
colts at Petaluma and Santa Robb; filly Midget, 3 years, dam
Bessie S.; Sunsetter, 1 year, first grand child of Anteeo, dam
"aylor mare, also entered in District Colt Stakes. Sunol in a
Huccessfnl breeder. Of 15 mares for the Beason only one
bailed. Anteeop and Anteeof will be placed in the stud next
reason .

There are others of Anteeo's progeny, but Bpecial mention
.a not made of these, Bimply for lack of information. They
..11 resemble the sire or bear distinguishing marks; mostly of
his color, a dark bay, but few are lighter, brown, black and

gray. In height they are from 15 to 16i, of good weight, and
show spirit, tempered with gentleness, in handling and work-
ing.

The moBt favored of the sons already in the stud are Red-
wood and Sunset. The two are certainly of splendid appear-
ance and action. For Sunset an offer of §6,000 has been
refused, and Redwood is held in high estimation by his
owner, wLo has no thought of parting with him. The great
value set upon the line of Anteeo in Sonoma is justified by
his sons and daughters.

Of other breeders in Sonoma, Pat Carroll, of Bloomfield,
one of the oldest and best experienced in the State, Wm.
Bihler, of Petaluma, "Whitney, of Petaluma, SylveBler Scott,
of Cloverdale, Waddell, Phillips and Faugh, are more or less
prominent. Pat Carroll devotes attention mainly to runners.
Major James Hudsfeth, well known in early days, has retired
on account of ripe old age. He bred winners in hiB time.
Sonoma is admirably adapted for breeding fine horses in soil,
climate, typography and conditions. The Buttons still hold
good place in turf performances and the stud. The Hamble-
tonians, Bentons, Sultans, Norfolks and other choice lines
develop to high merit. Every year better attention is devoted
to thoroughbreds of fine quality by the well-to-do farmers and
prideful turf patronB. Improvement is constantly studied in
arranging for the annual meetings at Petaluma and Santa
Rosa in the stabling, the track, the standB and all else attract
good attendance and assure meritorious Bport. The coming
meetings will be made notable. ''"u

laid the foundations of that reputation under hard conditions.

I was pleased to be able to accept the invitation of Mr.
Irvin Ayers to be his gnest one evening at his beautiful home
in Oakland, and make an early start in the morning with
him for the Farm up in Contra Costa County. A robber at
whist and the conversation of Mr. Ayers and Mr. Hines, his
trainer, an old-time horseman, whiled away a charming even-
ing, and by the time the sun had found his way into clear
blue in the morning we were on the road behind a handsome
pair of black Mambrino Wilkeses and striking for the moun-
tains. The Farm is about seventeen miles from Oakland,
and quite near the village of "Walnut Creek, where a railway
will soon reach; but at present the most direct route is over
the mountain roads from Oakland. Contra Costa County
lies to the north and east of the city of Oakland, and is
bounded on the weBt and north by San Pablo Bay (and its
headwaters), the northern arm of the bay of San Francisco.
The drive from Oakland up into this county is not over
quite as fast a way as St. Nicholas Avenue, as it is good work
to make five miles an hour, but it furnished one of the most
pleasant diversions of my Pacific Coast journeyings. The
way winds for more than half the distance upward through a
mountain canyon, then down the opposite slope of this ridge
of the foothills of the Coast Range, emerging into the series
of sharply rolling hills where the Farm is situated, almost
under the shadow of stately Mount Diablo. The drive
through the hills under the clear morning sun, where cozy
little green valleys open up between wooded heights, and
mountain streams tumble down through curved and tortuous
ravines, furnished one of those hours in life where we are
brought very close to Nature.

Mr. Ayers has long been in business in San Francisco, and
did not begin breeding horses with serious intentions. He
bought Mambrino Wilkes because he liked him, and thought
he should be tried with some decently-bred dares. The
Farm in Contra Costa County is not large, and the buildings
were not designed for a Btock-farm. Mr. Ayers has just
begun, and will gradually, if he remains in the breeding-
ranks, put them in shape. With the exception of a couple
of rocky ridges that run through it the Farm is very fertile,
and good grass is afforded readily.

Mambrino Wilkes was bred by Mr. B. J. Treacy, of Lexing-
ton, was foaled in 1874, and was got by George "Wilkes out
of Lady Chrisman, by Todhunter's Mambrino, son of Mam-
brino Chief; and the dam of Lady Chrisman was a daughter
of Pilot Jr. He is, therefore, une of the stoutly-bred sons of
George Wilkes, and has the blood-right to be a sire of trotters.
The blood most frequently found in Wilkes* performers is
that of the Mambrinos, and a Pilot Jr. strain is always in
order, and always enriches any kind of a combination. The
farther I posh the study of trotting blood the more and more
does my respect increase for the line of Pilot Jr. The ability
to control action is now more readily acknowledged the great
test of power in the sire than in the olden time, when breed-
ers supposed that running blood assisted trotting action in-
stead of being an element that had to be controlled and sub-
jected by the trotting current. Pilot Jr. was the first horse
of the trotting breed that evinced great action controlling
power. Of course he failed on the majority of thoroughbred
mares that were bred to him, but from several he got
trotters, and sires and dams of trotters; and that is what
no horse before him had the power to do. Next to him
came the deeply-trotting-bred Almont, more potent in
action-controlling than Pilot Jr., because more strongly bred;
and next we have Electioneer, whose power in wiping out
the running inclination exceeds that of Almont. In a little
while horses with the power to control action in thorough-
bred mares will be common; there are, I know, some such
now in service. The reason is that we are getting deeper
and deeper into trotting blood. The aotion-controlling horse
is the closely, intensely -bred one who inherits trotting power
and trotting instinct from many interwoven generations of
trotting blood. This proposition is not doubted by any logi-
cal breeder or any student of natural laws.

Mambrino Wilkes' hiBtory has little ot interest in it. His
lines have not been cast in pleasunt places, and his light has
been hidden under a bushel till recently. When young he
injured an ankle so that training was out of the question.
He was taken to Oregon, driven at times on the road, I
believe, and did service there, it is stated, turned loose with
a band of common ranch mares. Finally his stock drew
attention to him, and so in time by his own merit he earned
his way up from ranch-horse duties to the positiou of head of
a trotting Blud and an acknowledged sire of race-horses.

Mambrino Wilkes is a 16-hand black horBe, rangy and
stylish in general conformation. His head and neck are
quite first claes, and shoulders and chest excellent. Indeed,
he is one of the best "fore-handed" hoTses one will see. His
barrel is good and deep through the heart region, is long and
Rhapely, and the baok and loin quite good. The quarters
are long and sweeping, running down to splendid gaskins
and strong, good legs. The point wherein I would ohange
him would be to slightly increase the spread of the stifle,

the widih and masBiveness of the quarter, and the closeness
of the coupling. However, he is of that tall type that are
somewhat deceptive, and a measurement of the lower thighs
in comparison with those of a shorter legged, more closely
built horse will show that he has no mean development of
muscular substance. lam not sure that all horsemen will agree
with the criticism here made, for all have not the same ideals
of type, and I am free to admit that my ideal has mightier
qoarterB than has the average good horse of our day. With
the exception of the injured fore pastern the legs of Mam-
brino Wilkes are good, and that injury is no detriment to
him aB a stock horse. The knees and hocks are low Ret and
strongly made, the cannons short and good, and the feet
quite fair. In carriage Mambrino Wilkes is a very magnifi-
cent, commanding and finished horse, with the highest sort
of proud style, and his natural action is good. I like him
well enough to wish he had a better chance than he ever haa
had or iB even now getting; for, although Mr. Ayers is giving
him some good mares, he is not getting access to the number
and quality of matrons that I believe his merits as a sire of
good campaigning trotters entitle him, His most renowned
son is the gelding Gns Wilkes, 2:22, now in Mr. James Dus-
tin's string. He is out of Fancy, by Bonner, Bon of Whipple's
Hambletonian, and made his record at Bay District Track,
San FranoiBco, October 8, 1SS7, beating Wells Fargo and
Lister in the second, third and fourth heats in 2:22J, 2:23J,
2:24. On the 21st of the same month he won a cracking race
against Wells Fargo, Lister and Maid of Oaks. This was an
sight-heat battle, and Gus Wilkes proved himself game and
lasting, winning the second, 6ixth and eighth heats in 2:25,
•2:251, 2:28i. Last season he went through a hard campaign,
generally trotting against company a trifle too fast for him.
However, at Stockton he forced Tempest out in 2:19, and
won two heats in the race in 2:22 and 2:23. At San Jose he
again trotted second to the fast mare Lilly Stanley, winning
second and third heats in 2:23£, 2:23. I saw him a day or
two before leaving California, and he looks as though he
might be a good horse this year. He is in the bands of Dus-
tin, a popular and gentlemanly horseman; and thoogh "Jim"
does not think be likes the Pacific Coast, I hope his lack
this year will cbange his impression.

The next of Mambrino Wilkes' 2:30 list is the bay horse
Alphens, who made a record in successive heats of 2:28,
'2:2s} and 2:27, and went through the campaigning ordeal
creditably.

But the horse fr^m which greater things are expected is the
four-year-old colt Balkan, that trotted to a record of 2:29i in
his three-year-old form. He is a big, slashing horse thut
might be taken for a son of Sultan on shape. He has a clean,
gamey head, long, well-shaped neck, excellent shoulders,
lengthy, cylindrical barrel, hardly capricious enough in the
diuner-place in his present form, and sweeping, well-turned
quarters. He standB good and straight on his legs, aud tbey
are of tine quality. He has been a sick horse, practically,
for nearly a year, and this has, of conrse, deterred his thick-
ing development somewhat. He is sixteen hands high, and
if be gains sufficient general stoutness should make a horse
of the first class. He is now beginning to round-to and feed
well, and his last year's campaign, trotted when weak from
disease, gives evidence that with normal strength and stout-
ness he will be a warm member of his class. His general
conformation is of high type; in color he is a fine mahogany
bay, of exhuberant style and lofty, commanding carriage.
His campaign, when we remember he suffered all through it
from epizooty, is worthy of note. He started in at Marysville,
Cal., on Aogast 29th, distancing all hiB field in the first heat
but Gossiper, and ultimately defeating him for the stake. On
the 31st he started in the 2:50 class, and was second in the
first heat, but from sheer weakness fell in the second heat
and was distanced. It was thought that this would finish his
career on the turf for that season; but on September 11th he
turned up in the three-year-old stake at Sacramento, where
he started with the expectation of making a desperate finish
with the flag, but drove Grandee, the crack three-year-old of
the coast, out three times in 2:30 and better, and beat the
little Director horse Direct and Moses S , son of Mr. Shippee's
Hawthorn. On the 19tb, at Beno, Nev ., he won a stake in
straight heats; and again won at Carson, Nev., on the 27th.
On November 9tb, at Oakland, he walked over for the stakes
in a match race in 2:29£, and a few days later beat Prince-
mont, by Altamont, in straight heats. He started in nine
races, getting first money in five and second in three —
finishing with a record of 2:29J. A very creditable campaign
for a sick three-year-old.

One fine morning I saw Balkan move on the Oakland
traok. He is a long-striding, excellently-actioned horse,
direct in his stroke, and very fast. Balkan is a smooth,
graceful mover, and I liked him better after I saw him move
than before. He is a sure trotter, and all he will need is
sufficient stoutness to make him & good one to take to the
races.

Among the brood mares we ran across in the paddocks was
Contra, by Electioneer, out of a mare by Billy Cheatam (son
of Cracker, of Boston), and except that her hind legs are not
well shaped she is a well made mare. Her progeny have all
good legs, good in form and of good quality. Her 1885 colt
by Le Grande sold at two years for $1,000, and her Antevolo
colt of 1887 sold as a yearling at the same figure. About tbe
best mare in the lot is Annie Laurie, three-year-otd record
2:30, by Echo. She is strongly made and substantial, and
was a good, resolute performer. Old Fanny Fern is the most
noted one of the collection. She is the dam of Molly Drew,
2:27, Balkan, 2:29J, and Fred Arnold, 2:22£. She has lairly
earned her rank among tbe great brood mares. She was got
by Jack Hawkins, son of Boston, and her dam was said to be
an overland mare that came from Tennessee. She is not
bred in the fashion, but is one of the lncky exceptions.
Sometimes it will happen that the best-bred are of no account,
while those of no pride of birth grasp the laurel crown.
Fanny is a large mare, of eood form and quality, and with the
exception of being a little rough over tbe coupling is finely
put up. Nana and Narka, daughters of Nephew, are good
specimens of that horse's get, and are shapely mares. Fancy,
the dam of Gus Wilkes, 2:22, is a well-shaped mare. She is
a granddaughter of Whipple's Hambletonian, whose blood iB
fast risiDg to its true place in tbe appreciation of breeders.
She h' s two other co'ts by Mambrino Wilkes, aud will likely
find her way into tbe table of great brood mares. Another
good mare is Piracy, by Buccaneer, out of Louise, by George
M. Patchen Jr. She is bred well enough to produce a trotter,
and is ft first-rate individual. Molly Fern, by Capt. Cole, (son
of Whipple's Hambletonian), is a grandly-put-up animal,
strongly and well finished, with clean, cordy legs. Satsuma
is a compact, smooth, musoular mare. She is by Tbe Grand
Moor, and her dam is given as by Wissabickon, son of
William Welch. lam not familiar with the history of The
Grand Moor, bat be was bred to be a great sire of brood-
mares. The blood of The Moor and of Mambrino Patchen
— two of the richest maternal ourronts — blended in him, he
being by the sire of Beautiful Bells, and out of Yashti, by
the Bire of Alma Mater. The form of Clara P. pleased me
greatly. She is by Mambrino Wilkes, out of a mare by Cor-

sican, and is a handsomely built dark bay, with good shoul-
ders and barrel quarters of the first class, and first rate legs.
She is in training, and developing very respectable speed.
We inspected a number of other mares, and found the aver-
age of individuality good.

The first youngster shown was Kaulber, by Mambrino
Wilkes, out of a daughter of Gen. McClellaD, a very well
made three-year-old that promises to pay well for the trouble
of training. Kodiac, full brother to Gus Wilkes, 2:22, is a
smooth yearling, promising in gait, and a very sty'ish fellow.
He iB entered in the Occident Stakes, and it is hoped he will
• be as good as his brother, to whom he is superior in some
details of structure. Chaldean, by Mambrino Wilkes, out of
Fredolia, by Fred Arnold, grandam by Mambrino Wilkes, is
inbred, and I looked carefully and critically over him. I
have always held that the prejudice against inbreeding is
not supported by evidence; but if wrong in this I want to be
undeceived, and therefore always look exactingly upon closely
inbred animals, to see if what nearly everybody says is true.
All observations so far, has tended to conOrm the convic-
tion that nine-tenths of the popular teaching concerning the
evil effects of inbreeding is a Mrs. Grundy tale. Men are too
prone to accept popular prejudices, especially old ones, with-
out question of investigation, and in the cold light of facts
the fearless practice of intelligent inbreeding cannot be suc-
cessfully assailed. As a matter of fact, to return to the
cause of this digression, Chaldean, the closely inbred son of
Mambrino Wilkes, is juBt about the best shaped colt of his
age among all the get of his sire. He has a clean, resolute-
looking, bony head, bright, prominent eye, long, shapely
neck, closely laid oblique shoulders, and excellent barrel,
quarters, legs and feet.

A beautifully shaped filly is Myletta, yearling, by Mam-
brino Wilkes, out of Molly Fern, referred to above — a stylish,
blood-like youngster, that is smooth and good all through.
Another stout yearling that in my estimation will develop
into a good one is the bay filly Anato, by Clovis, out of Annie
Laurie, 2:30, by Echo. Her shape and general style is excel-
lent, and she should prove a good brood-mare after meeting
the test of development. Her sire, Clovis, is one of the best
bred sons of Sultan, and I am informed iB a horse with a
good f ature dawning. Hia dam is Sweetbriar by Thorndale,
and his grandam was Ulster Queen (the dam of Volmer,
2:29£) by Hambletonian. He is bred for an impressive trot-
ting-sire. All the colts looked healthy, but of course rough
at this season. The eye that cannot Bee form under a rough
coat is not very discerning, and if the colt is stout and healthy
at shedding-time there is no need of apology for a little
roughness.

1 was pleased with the get of Mambrino Wilkes, and in
meeting his owner formed an acquaintance, or rather a
friendship, that will not be forgotten. In this day, when all
kinds of Wilkes horses are being tried, and when many chase
the phantom for the name, one that i3 as good in form as
Mambrino Wilkes, and has shown his power to produce re-
liable performers, should have greater opportunities than can
just yet be found in the rich hill lands of Contra Costa
County. Mr. Ayers has been a successful man of business,
and went to California in the early days when the long roads
overland were marked by the footprints of the thousands of
pilgrims who crossed desert and mountain to shear the golden
fleece. He is a reader and a thinker, and whether in horse-
breeding or any otber line of business does not fail to mix
his work with brains, uprightness and energy. Though the
owner of Mambrino Wilkes has not the time to embark on a
seriously extenBive scale in breeding trotters, he will be pretty
certain to make his pastime probtable and instructive. —

Exile Wins.

of courage than want of speed. Certainly it was not because
of his foot, for he showed no signs of lameness at any time in
or after the race. When Hanover quit he fell back rapidly
to fifth place. Prince Royal and Exile moved up from the
rear, passing Elkwoo3 and Juggler before the head of tJe
stretcii was reached. Exile there took the lead. The race
from that on was entirely between him and Prince Royal.
The latter could never reach Exile in Bpite of Garrison's vig-
orous riding, sn Exile won with Prince Royal's nose at his
tail, Terra Cotta ten lengths away, with Elkwood and Juggler
close up, and ten lengths further back Hanover two lengths
before Richmond.

How McLaughlin Lost the Race.

The St. Louis Republic giveB tbe following account of the
race in which Jockey McLaughlin waB ruled off at Nashville,
and afterwards reinstated.

The Chicago pair were favoriteB at 3 to 5 against, and
nearly every man at the track backed the great son of Harry
O'Fallon and his stable companion to win. W. L. Cassidy's
Clara C, a 6 to 1 shot, got second and before reaching the
stand had taken the lead by a length and this lead she held
clear around and well into the stretch. Hamlet was second
at the stand and Endurer at the quarter, but then Sautalene
came up from third and Terra Cotta ran along easily in fourth
or fifth place. Santalene never lost second place, but
McLaughlin brought Terra Cotta up in the stretch to Santa-
lene's flanks. In the stretoh there was a fight for place and
Santalene succeeded in passing Clara C, with Terra Cotta
running even in the lead. Half a dozen rods from home
Leavy called to McLaughlin: "Pull him up; I have him
beaten," and McLaughlin pulled Terra Cotta and checked
hia pace. Clara C. had been running in the bunch, but had
drawn out at the last and was coming fast on the inside.
Santalene was brought to a hotter pace and Terra Cotta, sud-
denly checked, could not recover the lead. Gerhardy out-
Bpeeded them and won by a nose, Santalene second, Terra
Cotta third. There was a mighty uproar and the multitude
rushed to ttie judge's stand calling: "Unfair riding!" ( Foul!"
"Rule him off!" The judges motioned for quiet and after
considering the case gave the money to Clara C, and declaied
all bets off. McLaughlin and Terra Cotta were ruled off.
The ruling off part of the decision was not approved by the
crowd, but the judges will probably rescind it to-morrow.
McLaughlin cried like a child, saying he never had any such
thing happen to him before.

Sacramento News and Races.

What rejoicing there must have been at Brighton Beach on
last Wednesday night, for it is a noted fact that every one,
irrespective of color and sex, invariably bet on a Brighton
Beach horse when he appears at any of the big tracks. There
were a large number of persons present in the Breeder and
Sportsman o3ice when the race was run, knowing that the
earliest information would be received here. Almost every
one was interested in Hanover or Terra Cotta, the latest
telegraphic tips giving Terra Cotta as a probable winner.
The winter books would have suffered if either of the three
leading favorites had won, but with the son of Mortimer to
pass the wire Brat, Mr. Alf Lakeland, brother of the owner
of the winner, is the only one that will receive dividends to
alarge amount. The first message received at this office sim-
ply said ''Exile wins," while a second dispatch only gave
the positions of the horses as they passed the stand. The
following account of the race is taken from the MorniDg
Call:

New York, May 15th. — Thirty thousand people yelled
themselves hoarse at .the Brooklyn track to-day, when the
Brooklyn handicap was decided over a fast track, and 29,000
were disappointed because the wrong horse won. To Exile,
the Brighton-Beacher, and seven-year-old son of Mortimer,
the $10,000 prize went, he having tried in vain to win it at
two previous runnings of this race. To Cahfornians the
race will have a special interest, because Exile, when bis
racing days are ended, will go to Haggin's breeding farm,
where the copper king expects him to become the sire of a
lot of famous racers before he dies.

ONE OF THE BEST AT THE DISTANCE.

Though a disappointing race to the speculating public,
Exile's race was one of the best ever run at the distance, as
with 116 pounds he covered it in 2:07£, within half a second
of Dry Monopole's record made at the first running of the race
in 1886— the colt then carrying but 106. The fractional time
emphasizes this fact, the first quarter having been run in
0:25, the half in 0:50, the three-quarters in 1:16, the mile in
1 :4li.

Hearst's filly Gorgo did not appear among the starters,
which was a great disappointment to thousands who expected
to see her in the first flight at the finish, if not a winner.
The field for various reasons was leduced, therefore, to
Prince Royal, Terra Cotta, Hanover, Exile, Elkwood, Rich-
mond and Juggler, who were fancied in the betting in the
order named, it being but little better than even money
against the first three named, though 2 to 1 could be had
against Hanover at post odds.

THE RACE.

The lot had a splendid start, Hanover and Juggler being
the 5rst to show in front, they cutting out the running, being
head ani head three lengths in front of the rest, well bunched,
at the end of the firat quarter. So they ran to the half, when
Juggler got his chestnut nose to the front. In an other quar-
ter Hanover began to fall back, it is thought rather for tack

[By our Special Commissioner.]

The racing which should have taken place on Monday last
at Sacramento was postponed until Tuesday. The day
opened out well, but about 9:30 it began to rain, and contin-
ued all clay. The track was in fair order, and could have
been raced on, as the surface only was damp, but at two
o'clock the postponement was announced, and the few spec-
tators received their money back at the gate. It seemed a
mistake of the Directors to again postpone, for the public
will not as a rule turn out in any numbers to a postponed
meeting, and this was a twice retarded meeting, and it also is
manifestly unfair to keep racing men and horses waiting and
waiting for a chance to earn oats.

In the afternoon Flood Tide was brought out, and with hiB
weight up (Hart in the saddle) given the full mile and an
eighth at nearly full speed, creating a favorable impression,
and bringing him into general favor again, quite eradicating
the impression DenniBon's colt (G. W.) had made earlier
when he was brushed down the stretch in 24} seconds.
White Cloud was sent seven furlongs, the long-tailed pinto
moving easily in 1:30, and Holloway sharpened Kildare up,
giving him five furlongs in 1:06.

On Monday night the Golden Eagle was given up to the
speculators, and owing to the doubts existing about Guido
starting, pools were sold Blowly, with him barred, Whisban
selling a big favorite over the other two, who sold for seven
dollars eacb to her twenty-rive. In the repeat Geraldine
brought $25, the rest about $27, only a few pools being sold,
as Geraldine probably would not start. She was not entitled
to start, as she had been scratched once, and the race ought
not to have been reopened. In the three-year-old race, pool-
selling was brisk, in fact, Sam Whithead says he never saw it
better there. Flood Tide, Songstress and G. W. sold nearly
even up for a few pools, and then the weight of money grad-
ually made tbe former a decided favorite at $60 to $35, G. W.
$25. Songstress, Louis P. and Wild Oats $5 each, Lurline $3
and Duke Spencer $2.

Percy Williams, of Union Island, was in Sacramento this
week for the races, and though he rather favorB trotters and
pacers, he still has a slight love for the thoroughbred. He
says he has several promising young trotters; one an Ante-
volo of which he is rather proud and a young pacer that will
make things lively for some one on either track or road. He
has started to move old Bryant W. slowly in anticipation of
a rumored match against Rathbone. Half mile, owners up.
Henry Walsh is said to have refosed $10,000 for Racine,
and would not even put a price on him, alchough he has an-
other youngster who is said to be better. If it is so, be has
a world beater, but the bay would be thereabouts if they were
tried together.

Mr. Liird, a well known eastern driver, now has charge of
the trotting horses at Palo Alto, while Charley Marvin is
away in the East. The two he brought np to Sacramento
looked well and were very docile, tractable, a good square,
even gaited trotters; one of them is by Electioneer out of a
thoroughbred mare, while the other is by Piedmont, dam
Lad v Morgan by Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Mr. Laird last
year made quite a reputation with Newton who was driven
by bim to a record of 2:17 J-. Newton is now in Budd Doble's
string.

Owing to the prevalence of quarter-cracks and bad feet in
general among the horses in training at Sacramento, qnite a
discussion took place as to which was the best place for
horses feet, California or the Eastern States. It was gener-
ally conceded that unless a low-lying place was selected, the
Eastern States had the best of it, owing to the moist humid
atmosphere and the dews there which all help to keep tbe
colt's hoof damp and soft; and while growing, allows tbe
heel to expand. In several places in the State, notably the
Haggin and Baldwin ranohes, there is plenty ot moisture,
but when a horse is raised up in the hills, his feet are hard
and brittle, smashing to pieces like matchwood, whenever he
strikes a hard track. The veteran, Albert Cooper, said he did
not want any horses raised up in the high lands, for they
would break a man in copper plates alone, while if colts were
raised in a nice, low lying warm place, with plenty of water,
their feet would keep growing and expanding, and when
schooling began, they could be worked barefoot and not
pinchtd up with a shoe. He, himself, used to always exer
cise the colts at Santa Anita inside the track, among the
damp alfalfa, and have their legs well dried after, while when

they were shod or plated he always had their feet washed
out every day and used hoof ointment to soften the foot.

Harry Howard has started to work Phantom. He was pur-
chased from Mr. Haggin last year, and tbe then three-year-
old was added to the list and turned out and ought to Bhow
soon some signs of the speed he had when he came down to
the Blood Horse last spring.

What is the difference between a three-quarter and a mile
track in working a mile? The boys all say Big Jim got fooled
through trying his horses on the three-quarter track at the
Bottoms, but many a good horae has been tried there and a
second and a half is a good allowance to make in a mile.

The Capital Turf Club eventually started their meeting on
Tuesday last in moderate weather, rather Bhowery, though
about three it cleared up and quite a respectable crowd turned
out, but not nearly so many as would have been there had
the postponements not have ocourred. Messrs. Chris Green,
J. W. Wilson and H. T. Barton were in the judges box,
while C. H. Todd officiated as clerk of the course, in his well
known genial way, while Worth Ober as starter gave every
satisfaction, each start being a good one, and though the
delay was rather tedious in one instance, the beautiful send
off repaid every one for the long interval, especially the pool
Bellers who sold right up to the fall of the flag.

The days's programme gave much more sport than was
expected, for although the first race was soon over, Whisban
winning hands down, Guido not being allowed to start,
although Narvice weighed out for him, as hia owner hoped
they would let him start. In the repeat race White Cloud
was put out of the bunt by the merry pace in the first heat,
he going the first three furlongs in 36} seconds, and although
only just beaten in the heat he never looked like a winner in
the second which was 3£ seconds slower, and Hello in the
run off won cleverly from Longshot.

The judges gave White Cloud second place in the heat,
although Hello was palpably three-quarters of a leDgth in
advance of him, and in the Golden Eagle Stakes they also
erroneously placed Wild Oats third, overlooking Matt Storn's
filly who was on the rails (inside), and a clear length in iront
of him. In neither instance did either horse gain any money
as there was no third money, but it would have been better
to have place them correctly as some few had outside bets,
one of them being an even thirty dollars that Wild Oats
finished in front of Lurline, whioh had to be paid on the
judges decision.

The Golden Eagle Stakes brought out seven horses, and
waB one of the best betting races seen in Sacramento for
years, Flood Tide selling first choice for $60, G. W. bringing

money came in as fast as Whitehead could sell, there being
nearly $8,000 in the box when the flag dropped, and Albert
Coooper's White Wings (Louis P.) getting well away, never
grew weary and won handily by a leDgth from the favorite,
the Sacramento wonder G. W. never once showing promi-
nently, while Songstress shut up at the three-quarter pole.

the first eighth was run, Whisban was in front, and keeping
there, turned into the straight with a two lengths lead, and
striding on, won by Bix lengths in a big gallop. Alice, ridden
from start to finish, collared Mirope half way down the

Mutual* paid, $18.10 on first heat. $8.60 on the field in second, and

There was a slight delay caused by Longshot, who was
rather headstrong, but on the flag dropping, Whitecloud
started out a length in front of Hello, Kildare and Longshot
half a length behind him; when three furlongs had been ran
in 36J, Whitecloud was a length and three-quarters in front
of Hello, with Kildare and Longshot three lengths behind.
Hello gradually closed, and after rounding the turn for home
moved np to the favorite, and both were ridden out, Hello
just gaining the verdict by a short head. Longshot and Kil-
dare were three open lengths behind the leaders.

After a twenty-minutes interval they once more faced the
starter, who readily sent them off, with Hello just in front of
White Cloud. Longshot, on the outside and hard ridden,
held his own into the straight, where White Cloud momen-
tarily showed in front, only to be displaced by Hello, who
looked an easy winner until Longshot, catching both whale-
bone and steel, outstayed him through Bheer gameness, and
beat bim ont a length, Hello, not being severely punished,
second, a short length in front of Whitecloud (though the
judges placed Whitecloud second). Kildare was ridded from
start to finish, but seemed to have no pace at all, and event-
ually finished three lengths behind Wrhitecloud.

After the usual interval Longshot and Hello came out, and
the former cut out the pace a neck in front of Hello, past the
five-eighths pole and half mile. Hello showed in front when
the stretch was reached, but running wide, let Longshot on
the rails get up to him. On being straightened out he drew
away, and won handily by three-quarters of a length.

him in delaying the send off for another half hour. In the
end they got off pretty evenly, Songstress on the inside with
Louis P. and Wild Oats leading past the stand. Louis P's
head just showiDg, he front with G. W., Flood Tide and
Lurline a length and a half behind. Passing the tiist quarter
Lottis P. was leading Songstress and Wild Oats by about a
length, while Flood Tide who had run out at the turn was
beiDg hard ridden to regain Mb place, Lurline running well
about three lengths behind the leaders. G. W. and Dake
Spencer were early out of the race.

"When the half was reached, Songstress had shot her bolt
and Louis P. and Wild Oats went on closely followed by
Flood Tide who had made up most of the lost ground, and
was just clear of Lurline. Rounding the turn for home,
Louis P. was still in front and with the other three all whip-
ping a nice finish, was run out to the wire, the chestnut colt
winning cleverly by a length from Flood Tide who was three-
quarters of a length in front of Lurline, with "Wild Oats a
length behind her, G. W. three lengths off fifth, Duke Spen-
cer a bad sixth, Songstress pulling up laBt. Cook on Lur-
line finished right under the judges' box, and was overlooked
"Wild Oats getting the place. She would probably have been
second had the boy not lost his whip in the stretch, and
having no spurs he could not ride her out.

Quite a large assemblage (all things consided) turned out
on Wednesday to witness the days sport. The weather up
until two o'clock was all that could be desired, but afterwards
was changeable and showery. The programme consisted of
a Ladies Tournament, a special, and a pacing race.

In the Ladies Riding Tournament, judged by Hiram Cook,
Chris. Green, W. A. Hedenberg, W. M. Petrie and Capt.
Hobbs, seven competitors turned out, two of them being
only children about 14 years old. After cantering past the
stand several times and jnmping the bar which was placed
about two and a half feet from the ground, the ladies retired
until a!ter the first heat, when they were paraded before the
judges, who after careful and deliberate consideration awarded
the first prize to Mrs. Paquin, a pretty little blonde tastefully
dressed in a green habit with a jockey's cap of the same color.
She rode and managed a model park hack in excellent style,
and certainly deserved the award for her good and all round
turn out and womanlike style. Miss Laura Cooper, one of
the younger competitors was given second place, and for so
young a girl showed really nice quiet style and good form,
the other young girl, neither of them looking more than
fifteen, was placed fifth, although she ought to have been
certainty higher in the list, for she rode her gray mare in
firm, ea^y style, and seemed to have a very light hand on
her mare's mouth. Sheriff McMullen had the pleasant duty
of escorting the fair equestrines, while the ubiqnitons C. H.
Todd decorated their arms with the numbers.

For the special race, two trotters and one pacer came out,
and it was plain from the start that Madura was a sure win-
ner. The second heat was given as 2:39J, nearly all the oat-
side watches gave it 2:3S£, but possibly the fact that there
is such a thing as a forty class may account for the discrep-
ancy. The pacing race looked rather tricky all round and
created a good deal of reeling. A complaint was made against
the driver of Creole after the seoond beat and he was taken
out of the sulky, and Laird, a Palo Alto driver, put in.
Creole won the heat handily in 2:25, by far the best heat cf
tbs day. In the fonrth heat he broke at the quarter pole and
never settled down again, the veteran John Williams driving
the grey in an easy winner. James Linden was distanced in
the third heat, and Lhen was ruled off the track for using
insulting language to the judges. His mare was well outside
the hag when it was dropped, and of course the judges could
do nothing else but distance him, and after the language he
used to them President Green was certainly right in ruling
him off.

The judges were, President Chris. Green, Capt. Hobbs,
and J. L. McCord. Timers, E. R. Robinson and Mr. Nason.

FIRST HEAT.

Auction pools: Madura $40, Tump $15 and P. K. $25.

The first heat was called up at a quarter past two, in a
slight shower of rain. Wilbur Smith had the pole with his
pacer P. K., while Madura was next and Tump outside.
Tump, who was very headstrong, scored up for a long while
with P. K., Madura always behind. When they got off, P.
K. settled down, and pacing nicely, led two lengths at the
quarter, both the others breaking at the eighth pole, and at
the half in 1:20 was a length and a half in front of Tump,
with Madura, who had again been off his feet, six length i
behind, Wheu five furlongs had been gone, Tump and P. K.
were level, and Tump, trotting steadily, carried P. K. off his
feet, and going on, won cleverly by a length from Madura P
K. four lengths behind. Time, 2:40.

Matuals paid $15.05 on the heat.

SECOND HEAT.

Auction pools: Madura $40, Tump $17, P. K. $12.

The poolB sold slowly, very ltttle money going in the box.

After scoring twice Madura wub sent off at length in front
of P. K.. with Tamp half a length further behind, and all
going evenly. Madura led two lengths at the quarter, and at
the half three, with Tump, trotting steadily a length ahead
of P. K. The favorite increased his lead past the five fur-
longs, and at the three-quarters was five lengths 1 1 the good,
Tump half a length in front of P. K. Coming down the
homestretoh Madnra, trotting grandly, drew further away,
and passed under the wire seven lengths ahead of P, K. and
Tump. P. K. broke badly twice in the homestretch or would
have been closer. Time, 2:39$. Mutuals paid, £ft 80.

THIRD HEAT.

Auction pools — Madura, 25; Field, 7. Hardly any monev
went in the box and none in the last heat. Jones was fined
$25, and Worth over $10 for not being cut in time. The In >
were quickly despatched and Madura getting down to work
was a leogth to the good at the first eighth, Tuupjast a length
behind P. K. at the quarter in order was the same slightly
elongated. At the three furlongs Madura was leadinp P. K.
two lengths, Tump one length to the rear. When the half w*s
reaohed, Madura was three lengths to the good, but P. K.
straightened out aod pacing in better style gradually closed
up and at the three-quarters was only a length off and at the
Be- en furlongs hulf a length, but Madura was driven bard
and trotted with Tump six lengths off laBt. Time, 2:391.
Matuals paid $7.10.

The special was finished after the first heat of the pacing
i uoe. In the final of the special, no pools were sold. Pete
Iw.itjeos got up behind the pacer and after slight scoring got
well away. Tump broke badly beforo the eighth pole was

reached and was pulled almost to the standstill. At the
quarter, Madura led three lengths and with P. K. off his
legs, went on and trotting easily won io a jog pulled up.
Tump gradually overhauled P. R. who seemed unable to j
catch and finally beat him out for second by two lengths.
Time, 2:43.

The four starters scored up very lively for a long -while,
and then Creole and Solitaire got a length the best of the
start. At the eighth Solitaire went up, and the black horse
led past the quarter and half by one length, Ned, close up
with Solitaire, breaking Up badly at the five furlongB. Skel-
ton was just in front, Ned a length behind third at the three-
quarters. Creole and Skelton were level, but Creole broke at
the seven furlongs, and Skelton, sticking to work, won by a
length, Ned third three lengths behind Creole, Solitaire just
saving distance. Time, 2:29£. Mutuals paid, $17.10.

SECOND HEAT.
Auction pools.— Creole 25; Skelton 12; Solitaire 2.

At the second attempt the bell was tapped, and Skelton
breaking, the black horse went to the front, and pacing
squarely led past the quarter, and at the three furlongs was
two lengths in front of Ned, who in turn was two in front of
the grey, with the black mare, broken all up, laet. Just
before the half waB reached Creole broke badly, and Ned
went to the front only to be passed by Skelton, who paced in
in steady style, winning easily by three lengths. The other
three were running, and skiving all over the track. Time,
2:372;. Mutuals paid, $14.25.

THIRD HEAT.

A complaint was made to the judges by the backers of
Creole and Snider was taken out and Laird put in the sulky.
No pools were Bold.

After a lot of tedious Berving, Creole and Ned went out to-
gether and pacing well and steadily, soon had Solitaire set-
tled. At the quarter they were level and at the half Creole
was a length ahead of Ned who broke badly. The grey now
came up and at the three-quarters was level, but Creole car-
ried him so fast that he broke and Creole won by three
lengths, Ned jast saving his distance while Solitaire was well
outside. Mutuals paid $10.75. Time, 2:25.

FOURTH HEAT.

A few pools were sold on the strength of Creole's im-
provement. Skelton, 25; Creole, 17; Ned, 2.

There was very little time wasted in scoring, and Creole
and Ned went out three lengths in front of the grey. At the
quarter both black and grey broke and Ned had a two length
lead which he increased to seven, at the half mile with the
grey just clear of Creole. The veteran now drove the grey
hard and rapidly overhauling Ned passed him at the three-
quarters and both the others breaking badly, won easily by
four lengths, Creole running under the wire a length in front
of Ned.

Mutuals paid $10.90. Time, 2:34.

Judges.

Trotting at Oakland.

Some weeks ago, it was mentioned in the Breeder and
Sportsman that a sweepstakes ran was contemplated by sev-
eral of the citizens of San Leandro who were eager to deter-
mine which had the fastest trotter. On the 12th inst., a
number of the San Leandro folks came down to Oakland to
test the relative merits of their horses, accompanied by a
large contingent who had special favorites among the start-
ers. The fun of the day began with a match race for $100 a
side between Richard Havey's Bonanza and M. H. McMauus'
Perchelion. The race was sharply contested and created
considerable excitement owing to the evenneBS of the con-
test. The following is the

btjmmart.

Match race— $100 a side.

Perchelion M. H. McManua 12 12 2

Time, 5:33J, 2:333, 2:33, i;31£, 2:32j(.

In between the heats of the former race the green horses
from San Leandro were given a chance, and quite a deal of
money was wagered on the result. The favorite was Little
Wonder, and he showed himself a slightly better horse than
the winner, but Josey, the driver of the latter, had an advan-
tage in skill which saved him the race. The third heat was
declared off by the judges, owing to an error made by the
driver of Lorenzo Maid. The result of the race was as fol-
lows:

A Day at Santa Rosa Track-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A favorable day was
lately embraced to visit the Agricultural Park at Santa Rosa,
a mile from the Court House Square. W. B. Sanborn is the
lessee. He has two fine colts, stallions, both sired by Iron-
clad, the dam of one a Lodi mare, the other Alice by Whit-
ney's Dawn. Stables are already occupied by strings in
training, mainly colta and fillies, preparing for the approach-
ing meetings throughout the circuit. Capt. Guy E. Grosse'a
stable is in oharge of John Lawrence, and he has five of
Anteeo's line— the stallion Sunset, used in the stud, the
colts Anteeo — Anteeop, Sunsetta and Midget. Two of
these colts are entered for the District Colt Stakes, at Santa
Bosa and Fetaluma.

George Jones has charge of the stables of James H. and
John M. Laughlin, in which are ei.'ht fine Anteeo oolts and
fillies, all showing good action and high speed.

Lilburn Marph is in cbarge of the stables of Guerne &
Murphy, E. A. Seegelkin and C. C. BemiB. The first named
have six Anteeos; the latter a handsome brown stallion by
Sultan, dam Lady Zinns; by Utly Jr., aud a sorrel mare, 4
years old by Nutwood, Launoelot, by Electioneer, now in
tbe stud, and a few others of good form and merit.

T. J. Ludwig has several fine colts of much promise, one a
four-year-old Nutwood, dam by Antelope; another an Anteeo
colt, three-year-old, and an Anteeo filly, four years.

I. De Turk, the noted wine man, is putting his long string
of Anteeo's get in training. McGraw, the accomplished
trainer of Lillie Stanley, has cbarge of his stables.

Racing judges are not like poets and musicians. They are
made, not born. It takes years of experience to make a judge
thoroughly competent. He must be a man who lives only
by seconds, and able to split that short division of time if
neoessary, without any trammels of memory as to the past,
and free from all shades of anticipation as to the future. He
must ignore all favorites among horses, and be dead to every
impulse of friendship for drivers or jockeys. He should
never harbor a foregone conclusion as to which horae should
win, or anticipate by breathing the possibility of any horse's
defeat.

His work begins the instant a race starts, and from that
second until the finish he should have butone sense inactive
service — sight. He houl.l be all eyes, and take in like a
camera every nioveruei.fc of horse and rider, or driver, in the
struggle from the first s.ep or stride to the laBt. Hia duty is
to see that the noble horne is not worsted by the ignoble man
on his back, or behind m.

It is no child's play, but rather the task of a Hercules.
Such men are hard to find, but when they come to the front
they should have the most absolute recognition. The office
is a noble one, and when nobly filled should be rewarded by
the highest pay. If the judging of raoing were left to one
man, and he paid amply for his servicer, there would soon
be a restoration of confidence and interest in trotting and
pacing racds. His pay should be high enough to keep him
independent of any business entanglements, for a man who
is under any obligation to a horse owner or expects a favor
from some one interested in the race will certainly have some
bias toward both.

With one judge absolutely competent and with an inde-
pendent income to make the circuit of the fairs of the State
and decide the results of every race, a new era would dawn
upon the sport that would be hailed with acclamation by
every lover of the noble horse and supporter of the Initi-
ate speculation and the results of the race. — Wallace's

Diomede'a Deductions.

In this connection I might properly state that the li rat horse-
trot I ever witnessed was between Goldsmith Maid, Lucy and
American Girl. I ran away from home to see it. In the
cold gray light of the morning I descended on tip-toe from
my room and took the train. I remember I thought it wasn't
much of a show after all, as it was hippodrome, and the time
was slow, and my opinion of Doble and the others was by no
means complimtntary. It has changed now; time and the
inevitable effect of the great eduoator, experience, works
wondrous changes. I expected the rod would not be spared
to spoil the child when I returned to the paternal roof, but I
went scott free, for did not the good father want to know all
about it himself?

The next time I saw her was at Cleveland, O., in her ever
memorable fight with the mighty Smuggler. She had won
two heals, and the third was all over but the shouting, when
Marvin, seeing himself in a pocket on the stretch, and kno* J
ing it was do or die right there, pulled to the outside, ana
calling on his noble stud, swept grandly to the wire, a winner
by a neck. The grand old mare was taken to the infield to
cool out. Budd realized that her day was almost over, and
his sorrow was plainly depicted on his expressive eyes. The
old mare stood wearily and with dejected look, seeming her-
self to realize that her day was done.

I felt as sorry for her as though she were some noble
women; some queen about to be dethroned. It was a battle
royal, and after two more heate, in which the reigning queen
displayed all her oldtime determination and pluck, the race
was won by Smuggler, At the conclusion the old mare was
lead away trembling from supreme exertion and nervous
strain. Budd put his arm affectionately around the old
mare's neck, and there was a decided suspicion of moisture
in his eyes. She had fought a good fight; she hud exerted
every effort, and her palpitating heart, her shaking muscles
and quivering nerves told the story of supreme but unavail-
ing effort. 1 1 had been a gallant battle, and judges, horse-
men and spectators were wearied with the strain of long-
continued anxiety. The day was almost done; the night
was coming on ; the deepening shadows had already enveloped
half the track in gloom as the superb stallion swept under
the wire a winner. A silence as ot death fell on that great
audience. The battle was fought, the victory won; the queen
dethroned, the king had been orowned, and as with the sud-
denness of an electric spark the importance and significance
of the event was apprehended by that vast audience. The
ever-fickle crowd with mighty voice and boisterous shout
rent the air with loud acclaim: "Long live tbe king!" It is
only once in a season that an audience is treated to such a
sensational performanoe as the one 1 have described. It
was an incident never to be forgotten.

Very soon the bell will ring, and once more the grand pro-
fession will take up its line of march to the sea. Already
the sulkies have been taken down, and the new paint is al-
most dry. The jogging carts are in daily nse. Tbe working
shoes have been tacked on, and preparations for tbe grand
campaign are already in progress. There is a promise of a
rich harvest for the nrat-clasB campaigner, as, to use a turf ex-
pression, there is more money in sight than ever before.

The auotion sale of Galloway, Aberdeen, Polled Angus,
Durham and Devon cattle was fairly well attended, aod the
prices realized were on the whole fair, although in several
instances genuine bargains were obtained. E. W. Ne<rhall
bought six bead of Galloway, at an average of $97.50 per
head. D. B. Kelly, a fine bull, Arthur of Danville, for $70.
Korbell Bros, two head for $174.50. Creed Haymond several
at an average of $100 each. J. H. Wise five head for $480. A.
Smith three for $465. S. Wangenheim paid $62.50 for a
bull. C. Derby three head for $365. Twenty-seven in all of
this class being sold bb above. In tbe Polled Angns olass
20 head were sold, mostly to same buyers for $1,887 50,
Only 8 head of Devons were sold at an average of $82.50,

Mr.. JameB Guest's three-year-old, Heron, wan badly injured
in a railroad accident a few days ago. The colt was valued
at $20,000. He is now valueless for racing purposes.

Thomas Francis Meagher cannot understand why it is that
he did not back tbe Brooklyn handicap winner, the name
being enough to cause an exile of Erin to put money on him.

The large drawing of Al Farrow, made by Mr. Boyd, and
from which the exceedingly good picture on our first page is
taken, now hangs in the Breeder and Sportsman's picture
gallery.

The judges would not let Guido start in the two-year-old
race at Sacramento, probably acting under the idea that the
sale of the colt to Cy Mulkhy by Tupper, waB not a genuine
affair.

J. B. Haggin has returned from Europe and has been
watching the flyers at Gravesend. There is no truth in the
rumor that all of his horses have been sick, only one, Yum
Turn being under the weather.

Every darkey on the track had money on Tuesday after
Louis P. won. Albert seemed to own a controlling interest
in the track for a while, and it was quite refreshing to see
him ask the boys to smile with White Wings.

All touts at Louisville agree in saying that Notidleis by
far and away the raciest looking mare on the track. Robin
Hood has made a few friends, but as the entire string has
been off, they have not been seen at their best.

It is now arranged that Albert Cooper will g j to Chicago
and specially prepare Sorrento for the American Derby. D.
H. McCarty, who is now in the East, has arranged to bave
Hamilton, the colored jockey, ride the sorrel colt in that race.

Eenilworth has arrived safe and sound at Buenos Ayres.

Eenilwortb died on the journey to South America.

You pay your money and take your choice. Every paper
that reaches this office has either the first or second para-
graph.

One of the San Francisco papers bad an account of the
Brooklyn Handicap as being run at Ivy City. Another tells
how Exile Bold 15 to 1 in the Mutual pools. Some of the
reports say that Lakeland's horse won by six lengths, while
others say a short length was all that seperated the first and
second.

Dennison's sister to Blue Bonnet is now the Sacramento
pet. She worked a half last Tuesday in :50J, but those
Sacramento horBes all Beem to be able to work fas<er than
they can when in a race. G. W., for instance, never once
had a chance in the race on Tuesday, yet he could work as
well as anything on the track.

The day after Spokane won his first race against Proctor
Enott I was at the Arcade taking a look round when John
Mackey drove up and promptly called out to know whether
that Mortimer mare had been bred to Tyrant. Being answered
in the negative, he at once gave orders to breed her to Hyder
AH,

Frank Baldwin, of Fresno, will start East in a few dayB to
get entries for the §20,000 running race. I wonder if be can
get Mr. Lakeland to enter Exile? Tbe horse is at present
under promise to Mr. Haggin, and it may just be possible
that arrangements can be made to have him make his lust
appearance at Fresno.

The truth about Spokane is that he was °.ired on the farm
of Gen. Rowett at Carlmville, 111., in 1885. Mr. Armstrong
owned his brother, Gray Clouds, and when Gen. Rowett's
slock was sold in 1S85 Armstrong purchased the mare Inter-
pose in foal to Hyder Ali. He took the mare to his Montana
ranch, where Spokane was foaled in IS89.

The races announced for yesterday and to-day at Napa
have bten declared off ud account of the rain. The purses
have been re-opened, and fresh entries can be made. The
advertisement appears in another column, and will repay
perusal. The dates now set for <he races are June 7th and
8th.

Mr. S. N. Stranbe, of Fresno, has been in San Francisco
several dayB this week attending the sales. He reports that
he has had to refuse eighty mares this year for his stallions,
and already there are many breeders booking their mures for
next season. Mr. Stranbe has advertised his horses exten-
sively, and has reaped a just reward.

' 'It iB no longer a problem who can win the Derby. Spokane
of course. If asked what State he hails from, our sole reply
shall be, he's a lively steed of the western breed, with mus-
cles strong and free. Verily Montana has a right to "rejoice
and be exceedingly glad." This is clipped from the Montana
Farming and Stock Journal.

Last Tuesday Mr, Garrity bought the well known stallion
Valensin, at the combination sale, with the understanding
that a well endorsed note should be taken if he made any
purchases. When it became necessary to put up the note,
tbe endorser was not at hand, so after waiting two days, the
sale was declared off. The stallion will be sent to tbe stable
of James Dustin at Oakland, where he will be prepared for
the fall campaign.

The famous thoroughbred brood mare Nevada is dead, the
effects of dropping a foal to George Kinney. She was'.twenty
years old. was a daughter of Lexington, her dam being
Lightstone, a daughter of Glencoe, and her grandam was
the famous brood mare Levity. The most famous of
Nevada's colts were Luke Blackburn and Joe Blackburn,
sons of Bonnie Scotland; Greenland by Glengarry; Ecuador
by Enquirer, and Bradford by Glengarry or Bramble.

W. A. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., has sold
to A. S. Ashbrook, same place, his bay yearling filly Moon-
stone by Sultan, 2:24; dam Montana Maid by Geo. Wilkes;
second dam Annie Wa (dam of Tempest 2:30£), by Almont
33; third dam Ellen by Ericsson 130. This filly is a full
sister to Ottoman, Mr. Wilson's fine two-year-old stallioa,
that he refused $7,500 for as a yearling. She is entered in
several stakes. Price paid $2,500 cash.

Kelley offered to match Flood Tide Bame weight and dis-
tance, for a thonsand a side, against Lonis P. after the race
on Tuesday, and finally offered $1,500 to a $1,000, but
Cooper's head was level, and he declined all offers, Baying he
had had to get up early to get a little stuff, and he meant
keeping it. How early waB it when Louis P. turned out in
the morning? The boys say hardly light enough to see his
white stockings.

Notwithstanding all the nice reports that have been re-
ceived from the south, about how nicely the horses have
wintered, now ,that they are moBtly back, sad complaints
are heard from the owners, about tbe poor condition of the
horses. Captain S. S. Brown, of Pittsburg, who had his
stable all winter at Mobile, vows and declares he will not
take another horse south. There is only one place to winter
them, and that is in California, gentleman, bring out your
stock this fall and see how they will improve.

Tbe sale of the Palo Alto stock in New York last week, has
called out much comment about the prices obtained, and
while there are some who think the prices very low, there
are others who fancy the stock brought good prices. The
Electioneer oults brought au average of $1,535; Woolsey,
$1,100; Piedmont, $974; Electricity, $901; Fallis, $825;
Whips. $700; Alban, $640; General Benton, $633; Ansel,
$610; Nephew, $610; Clay, $578; while Mr. Frank M.
Burke's stallion Eros, led the entire lot, his get selling for
an average of $2,200.

Scott Quintin will leave Trenton, N. J., June 1st with his
string of trotters for Montana. He has the following, which
he will take to the Bitter Root Ranch: Favonia, 2:15, b m by
Wedgewood, dam Fadette by Alexander's Abdallah. Sndie
D., 2:35jj, by Sherman's Hambletonian, dam Fanny Clay by
American Clay. Piesto, 2:41f , b c by Gen. Washington, dam

haha by Steven's Bald Chief. Prodigal, b c by Pancoast, dam
Beatrice by Cuyler. St. Patrick, 2:24£, b g by Volunteer,

Sporting Times: Don't be in too much of a hurry to get
down a bet on Terra Cotta for tbe Suburban. The bookies
make him a favorite themselves, but would hot have you be-
lieve that the weight of Hankin's money placed him in that
position. Don't you believe it, dear boy. Not a cent of
stable money has gone on tbe chestnut for that event. It is
not certain that he will start. Every horse in Hankin's
stable, but Terra Cotta, has been under the weather for some
time, and the latest rnmor would lead one to imagine that
he is not near so good as the bookies and their newspaper
"cappers" would have us believe.

A correspondent writes: Spokane pulled up more dis-
tressed than Procter Enott, but both were very tired. Dur-
ing the race Sam Bryant was standing on the track under the
judges' stand. When the numbers went up he walked to
where Mb horse was, in a mute and dazed sort of way, as
though he could not understand it. Mr. Armstrong took his
success in a very quiet manner, and simply said he knew he
had a great horse, and now the public know it. Spokane
was trained by John Rodegap, late with Ed Corrigan. He is
by flyder Ali, out of Interpose. The Bires of both were
imported, Hyder Ali being by Leamington, out of Lady Duke,
by Lexington. Interpose is by the horse imported by Mr.
Withers called Intruder, out of Lilac, by Lightning. Intruder
being by Crater, out of Lidy Bountiful, by Ratailan. Spo-
kane is in the Clark stables here, but has no engagements at
Latonia or St. Louis. He is in the American Derby and
Sheridan Stakes at Washington Park, Chicago, and none iu
the East exoepticg the Beokenridge and Dixie Stakes at Balti-
more.

John Mackay will take one hundred thorougbred yearlings
and two carloads of trotters when he Btarts East early next
Bpring (eight cars in all). He is at present the recipient of
numerous congratulations for his judgment in purchasing
Hyder Ali, who has now in Spokane, proved that he can get a
racehorse. Every one ran the horse down when he was pur-
chased for the Rancho Del Paso, but now they all unite in
praising him. This ought to have a tendency to improve the
sale of his yearlings.

The Mt. Shasta agricultural society met on Saturday of
last week, Bays the Jackville Times. James Vance was elected
president for the current year; Clarance S. Smith secretary;
Maurice Renner treasurer. It was decided to hold a fair in
Yreka on October 2d, and to last four days. S. D. Prather,
L. Swan and W. S. Stone were appointed to prepare a speed
programme. A contract has been entered into with G. W.
Cooper to build a residence and barn at tbe racetrack at a cost
of seventeen huudred dollars. It is proposed to build new
stables and make other improvements at a future date, and to
bo improve the course and grounds as to make them A No. 1 .
There are several tine horses in training at the track now and
more expected to be there soon.

Kew York Sportsman: Some people are inclined to grow a
little facetious over Al Farrow's time for a mile at San Jose.
Devious bits of airy persiflage anent kitchen clocks as "fly-
backs," and yard-sticks as units of measurement scintillate
in the columns of various exchanges. The laughers find
reason for their mirth in the fact that Geraldine finished at
Farrow's neck in the race in question. They should not
build toomnoh on this. Geraldine may be able to 6how qoite
a mile in "the glorious climate of California." The damp air
of our season effected her very seriously last summer, and
yet she showed in private the best half-mile run over the
Mommouth Park track last year.

There is one funny effect in the bigh license law in Philadel"
phia; the horses are suffering for drink. There have been no
less than 418 horse troughs which formerly stood hill of
water in front of saloons so that the horse could drink there
while his master went inside and did the same, removed, be-
cause the keepers of the houses were refused, or themselves re-
fused license under the new law. The police director says this
"causes suffering to horses, which could and should be re-
medied by the location of water troughs either by the city or
by the socities organized for the public fountains, or for the
protection of animals."

Last week I mentioned that Mr. Nevius of Farmington
wanted to match his Stamboul filly, but th6 following from
the Horseman shows that he has withdrawn his offer.

David Nevins, of Boston, offers to match bis two-year-old
filly Mary Stamboul, by Stamboul, against any filly of the
same age in the world, by any other sire, for $5,000 aside.
He proposes a three in five race in harness, the race to take
place throe years hence on one of the Boston tracks. He
will also match a yearling against any other of the same age,
under tbe same conditions, the race to take place at the same
time as the first race. After the above was in type, and as
soon as the foregoing proposition met the eye of E. S. Henry,
proprietor of Penn Valley Stud Farm, Morrisville, Pa , he
immediately forwarded his acceptance of both propositions
to the Philadelphia paper which published tbe challenge.
The suddenness with which the Pennsylvanian responded to
the call of tbe gentleman at "The Hub" seems to have nearly
taken his breath away, and caused a faintness, as is evi-
denced by the following telegram sent by Mr. Nevins: "Please
announce withdrawal of offer. Fillies have returned sick
from exhibition held in Boston."

In 1827, the earliest year for which Ruff's Guide provides
the figures, 1,166 horses ran in England, and of this number
only 12 per cent. (142) were two-year-oldB, and no less than
39 per cent. (453) were five years old or more. As a horse
may be considered at his best for racing at four years old,
these figures show a good and healthy arrangement of a
horse's career. The change brought about by 1888 is truly
astonishing. In that year two-year-olds were 45 per cent, of
the whole (962 out of 2,147) and five-vear-oHs and upwards
were only 15 percent (231 out of 2,147). Now just look care-
fully into the meaning of these figures in the following way:
In 1887, 913 two-year-olds ran. What became of them? Tbey
would be three years old in 1888; but in 188S only 580 three-
olds ran, and 60 of these had never run at all in 1887; from
which it is to be deducted that of the 913 two-year-olds in
1887, 393 never ran again. In other words, 43 per cent, of
the horses taking part in two year-old races were rendered
useless, and there and then finished their careers At four
years old another 30 per cent, disappear, and barely one-
quarter of them remain at five years old to take part chiefly
in steeplechase or hurdle races.

Broadchurch, writing after the Two Thousand, says: Semi-
occasionally a horse is restrained to let a stable companion
win, but in the Two Thousand it was a caee of violent pull-
ing, semi-strangulation from beginning to end, with the
jockey fagged out and exhausted frum his task. Ordinarily
the best horse is supposed to be ridden to win, but in this
case he was ridden to lose, and the feat was such a difficult
and remarkable one that it gives the Futurity winner greater
prestige than if he had won by a dozen lengths. With all
that, the exhibition was a parody on legitimate racing, albeit
it is countenanced and encouraged by turf laws and usages.
But people go to Bee races from "eend to eend," and when
they are ruu otherwise, although technically proper and
allowable, it still smacks of a burlesque, or worse, on straight-
forward sport. It certainly was not a pleasant exhibition for
the hundreds who backed Knott to see him pulled and half
strangled before their eyes.

But leaving the equities of the case aside, tbe race was of
such a kind as one would hardly see twice in a lifetime. And
yet it is a bit difficult to guage what Enott could actually
have done had he been allowed to go on about bis business,
with reference to lowering the record. Tbe prevailing opin-
ion here is that he could have beaten anything and every-
thing in the race by fully one hundred yards, and numbers
are free to say that he could have lowered tbe mile and quar-
ter record, if not covered tbe distance in 2:06. I saw his sire,
Luke Blackburn, win the Stallion stakes at Louisville when
he ran away from his company, and I have seen oiher won-
derful feats by other wonderful animals, but I doubt if I ever
saw the equal of Proctor Knott as be appeared in tbe Two
Thousand. Can he go a distance? Well, he wan pulled to a
standstill in a mile and a quarter, and it did look as if he
could have gone a mile and a half, yes, two miles at a pretty
fast clip. But the practioal test is the things, and the first
Derby he tackles will afford the opportunity. My cpinion is
he can show bis heels to every three-year-old in
over the Derby course,

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — He has been here and
gone. "We mean he of Parker Gun fame, the jolly and whole-
souled sportsman, Mr. S. A. Taoker. whose friends here are
legion, and many new ones has he added on his late trip.

Mr. Haivey MoMurchy is now with us in the interests of
the Smith gun, and the boys hope to have him ont to exhibit
his skill at the traps. McDuflf is well known from the Atlan-
tic to the Pacific as one of the beHt shots in the oountry,
being an exceedingly popular sportsman, whom success never
spoils. We wish him luck wherever he goes.

Mr. Dick Swiveller, the well known sportsman and writer,
is also in town in the interests of the Baker gun. Mr. Colby
is a thorough sportsman, and many are his friends.

Three better men for the positions it would be impossible
to find, and the respective manufacturers are exceedingly well

Blue Rook Club.

The Blue Rook Club has completed arrangements under
whioh it will hereafter shoot at the grounds of the Lincoln
Gun Club at Alameda Poir.t. The place is easily reached
via the South Pacific Coast Narrow Gauge Railway, and is
well arranged for artificial target shooting.

Last Saturday's match of the Blue Book Club was what is
styled a "walking mateh," the shooter starting from a point
about twenty-five yards from the center trap and walking
toward the traps, being compelled to shoot whenever the
trapper pulls a target. The scheme was productive of much
fun, and the shooting was very good, considering the con-
ditions that at the doubles being remarkably fine. Mr. F. B.
Norton leading with IS breaks, Major Kellogg being second
with 17, and Doctor Knowles third with 16.

Slaughter of Fish and Game.

Despite the laws in force relating to all game, and estab-
lishing open and close seasons, the infraction of these laws
is frequent, and in 6ome instances appears the spirit of mani-
fest, purposeful and wicked defiance. Such, for instance, is
the use of giant powder or other explosives. This is wanton
and devilish murder of fish. It deBerveB the imposition of
severe penalty, to the extent of the law. In similar category
should be included the classes of offenders who take and kill
fish apparently for the mere gratification of doing so, to boast
their piscatorial prowess after the manner of the savage who
exhibits hie trophy of scalps and shrieks the details of the
massacre. The only delinquents to be let off with reprimand
or light penalty are those who transgress from actual and
pardonable ignorance of the law, or who are impelled by
nunger, or who take from the superabundance of the streams.

Fish are not tit or wholesome food in the close season. The
law is wisely framed, not only for the protection and preser-
vation of the Bah, but in the interest of the people, many of
whom are not aware of the effect of 6sh food in improper
condition upon the system — sometimes to the extent of pois-
oning, This detrimental quality is more apparent in the
finer species ot shell fiBh, as in oysters, and the hapless suf-
ferer from the surfeit of crabs and lobsters not in season
needs neither the authority of books nor the advice of physi-
cians to cause restraint from repetition of the torturing indul-
gence. The more choice the species the more acute and dan-
gerous the consequences. In intestinal arrangement and
digestive processes the dog nearer approximates man than
any of the brute animal creation. And the greedy dog whioh
devours slickers and equally common fish with only tempora-
ry derangement, dieB from the feast of salmon. Mankind
can draw their own inferences, and form their own conclu-
sions. The evil of transgression carries itB own penalty go
far as concerns the individual, but there remains the more
important matter to the community — the effect upon the sap-
ply of food fish in the open season through years to come.

The destruction of fish by explosives is of kind with the wan-
ton destruction of noble forests by the criminal]}'' reckless
campers who start a fire "juBt forf un" and give neither thought
nor care to the incalculable oonsequences of their devilish
freak, sometimes involving life in addition to the lamentable
waste of valuable property, homes and farmes. The plea of
ignorance of the law against such acts is no more worthy of
consideration thau would be the excuse of an offender of
ignorance that powder will kill or fire burn. Cunning pal-
liators have gone to the extremity of inventing the plea that
inasmuch as Cain had never witnessed death he was ignorant
of tbe effect of the murderous blow which killed Ahel. The
same quality of sophiBtry is interposed to screen from just
penalty the reckless slaughterer of fish and other game, the
wanton incendiary of the forest. The brand of the courts,
ordered by the law, is the efficacious remedy and correolive
example.

One of the State Fish Commissioners has expressed his
belief that saw dost in the streams is tbe prime cause of
impoverishment and abandonment of tish in California
waters. It remained for a former representative of one of
the mountain mining and milling counties to protest in the
Legislature that, in his district the trout actually fattened and
acquired better flavor from the saw dust upon whioh they
fed; that from further up the river epicurean anghrs came
to take theBe saw dust trout, preferring tbetu to the speckled,
gli< tening, gold and Bilver hned beauties which feed upon
tdeir natural food. From his extraordinary argument he
omitted mention of the peouliur kind of saw dust used for
h' it. To his copyists might be committed the defense of the
i ,h slaughterers who use explosives in their deadly diaboli-
t ' "sport."

.gainst all manner of food fish destruction in sheer wan-

onness the law ought to be rigidly enforced, and if the law

U stands is inadequate, new and thorough laws ought to

bo adopted, Every community and every inhabitant of the

State is in greater or less degree interested, to urge and
require this. Particularly are the residents of counties and
districts noted lor streams in which the choice species of the
dainty finny tribe abound much concerned in the matter.
BesideB the valuable trade in game fish for the ready market,
the delight of the genuine angler in the contemplative and
exciting sport, and the gratification of the epicurean hoBts,
the gladness and profit of country landscapes, tbe celebrity
whioh accrues to the favored town or rural resorts, and the
aggregate of money it brings to these communities every
season, there comes the pride and value of the broadcast
advertising that iB the certain consequence. From the cities
rush the hundreds of enthusiasts in the Bport, not mind-
ful of their ooin, to lavish it in these seasons of hilarious
recreation in the finny hunt; the ardent and experienced
angler, with outfit prized as the soldier prizes his accoutre-
ments, selects his locality with deliberation, with complete
method pursues the wary game, and in it is absorbed to the
exclusion of all thought or care of time and money. The
trout stream is his Mecca of annual pilgrimage, the woods
his Kabn, and the choicest of theBe blest habitats are to him
as (he Mohammedan's dream of houris.

King James I, of England, was wise and appreciative in
his estimation of the devout Puritans of primitive New
England. "They ask the grant," quoth he, "to praise God
and oaten fish. Fore, God, it is an honest trade — the apostles
own calling. The country shall be theirs, as it is mine to
bestow." California is greatly favored in her abundance
and species of fish. Salmon, trout, pike, pompano, cod,
and other choice varieties inhabit her bays, her rivers and
lakes, her mountain streams. Their affluence of food tish
should be guarded by the State to the conservation and
wholesome enjoyment of her people, with wise provision
that this plenty shall increase and further multiply. The law
should be enforced againBt the wanton and wicked extinc-
tion of game of every kind, against the misoreants who kill
by the savagery of explosivfs, against the reckless who
slaughter and waste without want or reason, against the
Chinese who dredge the harbors and the coast line and take
by millions the tiny dwellers which are as so many food fish
and shipped to their own swarming land. As Shylock saith,
"there be land rats and water rats, water thieves and land
thieves. I mean pirates," and of these are the robbers and
slaughterers of game, of fish, flesh and fowl in California.
The penalty should also be theirs.

"We commend the article entitled "Slaughter of Fish and
Game" to the thoughtful reading of aU who are in anywise in
terested in field sports. It comes from an old resident of Cali-
fornia, a'sportsman of the old-time courtly school, an observer
of scientific exactness and a writer of the rarest clearness and
force. What he says is always worth listening to, and should
exert a widespread influence.

"Jay See En" Goea Shootinfif.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The engineer having
suggested a trip to the flats where duck, geese, brant and
snipe are reported plentiful, we find ourselves there early
one morn, accompanied by Boy, Fanny, Mamie and Judy,
the three last Irish and the tiist an English setter, all good
ones to find quail, chicken or snipe, and all bat Fanny good
on duck, she not being a retriever.

The tide being still rather high, flats are partly submerged
yet, and being full of sloughs we need to be very careful in
picking our way, being yet quite dark, it is only by close
watching and feeling for footing that we escape an early
morning bath.

JuBt as the darkness begins to light up to the East, we
hear a whistle over head and for a second becoming more
intent on piercing the gloom above in search of the widgeons
hastily winging their way through the foggy morning air,
when about to raiBe my gun, forgetting my footing, there is a
sudden and violent splash, a smothered and half-winded
"wow," and I disappear from the idle gaze of the engineer,
sinking to my arm pits in the cold and brimy drink, the
breath being entirely driven out of my body. In going down
my gun happened to be hastily brought to a trail and muzzle
resting on terra tirma in front of me and butt behind, forming
a sort of bridge, which soon helped me out again to mother
earth, or else I might have been traveling toward China yet,
I am out again before the engineer can spring to my assist-
ance.

My wet and draggled appearance is entirely too much for
his mirth: log and loud were the yells he gave, as he sat on
a fallen log, holding his sides, and for a few moments a
severe spasm seemed to threaten his life.

At that moment, Btrange as it may seem, I didn't feel a bit
like laughing. The wet salt water causing ohill after chill to
chase one another up and down my back, till tbe natural
warmth of my body began to warm up the unwelcome ele-
ment.

A fresh outbreak from the engineer is precipated by my
standing on my head, legs stuck up in the air, feet resting
against the log, the splashing of the liberated water is heard
flowing down onto the ground from out of my wading boots.
When I threaten to pour a bootful of the blame ttuff down
tbe engineer's throat does he subside, and after things get
somewhat warmer in my vicinity I even relax my features into
a grin myself, which my companion afterwards described as
simply diaboliciil, and pnlling ourselves together we make a
fresh break for our blind, accompanied by the swish, Bwash
of the element on the wrong side of my rubbers, being churned
into froth at every step.

Beaching blind and seating ourselves upon the soft side of
fallen tree, we await the flight of duck which now can oe
Been in the distance.

The dogs waited expeotantly at our feet for the fun which
they know will soon begin, our callers ever and anon send-
ing five kab, kah, kah's out on the heavy morning air. A
small band of pilgrim widgeon are soon observed winging
their way towards us; as soon as directly over us, two gaos
are seen to emerge above tbe growth of rushes, and four
flames of fire belch forth as many loads of No. C shot. Three
widgeon's feathers fly and come circling down, soon followed
by another, which winged tries to hide itself among the
rushes and water, but at a word to the doge, the victims are
soon lying at the bottom of our coat-pookets.

Now a long shot is offered at some mallards which, though
suspicious, with heads stretched out and souses alert, hope
to escape danger by the swiftness of their gait. But, no! one
of them is wanted, aud stays behind to join his cousinB in
our capacious pockets, still leaving room for more.

Some swift winged teal now appear in Bight, fly near, but
scared go back. Turning, they now paeB overhead, and in
answer to our four barrels, only one escapee to oarry the tale
of woe to his chums in the slough. A slight lull in hostilities
now occuring, we each discover the other with a huge sand-
wich in his fist, our jaws working vigorously, reminding one
of some of the distant sawmills at work already in the dis-

tance. The dogs, too. come in for theit share. The engi-
neer's dog always feeds when his owner feeds.

Some widgeon passing within shot are thus addressed by
tbe engineer, while we still continue to masticate our unus-
ually tusty sandwiches, who, when I tell yon, is none other
than Silalicum, the veteran of flood and field, mountain and
moor, you maybe will doubt if such rhyme ever issued from
his poetical brain. He himself will doubtless repudiate the
lines, bat nevertheless if not the words, they express the
meaning of his address:

Move on, my dears, you're safe from barm;

From us, our guns or doge.

Onr grub is sweet and toothsome, too;

We need you not, we'll soon find more

Fatter and larger birds tban tbee;

So tarry not, else we change our mind.

Wing on your merry, whisMing way,

Some other sportsman's beart to cbeer

w hu has not fouud bis grub so sweet.

Having finished our repast and brushed the fragments from
our broad and massive bosoms, the engineer adds by way of
encouragement to the many wildfowl Dassing about:

Come on, Mac Duff, we're ready now,

You'll find your welcome loud.

We've broke our fast, our mouths are wiped,

Onr guns are shotted with No. 8;

Nor will ye pass as your brethren did :

We Intend to wipe our comrade's eye.

As if in answer to his soliloquy, five lordly canvas-backs
come our way, but three of their number are called down
from the eloudf, and prettily retrieved by the dogs.

A stray brant also taking an early jaunt, is suddenly struck
by some number 4s propelled by 5 drams of Cjuick Shot
from the engineer's closely choked Parker, comes ricocheting
to the mud and water beneath, and is soon gathered to his
fathers, where the spring Bhooter ctases from troubling, and
the pot hunter is unknown.

The fun now waxes warm, widgeon teal, butter balls, a
few mallards, an occasional brant and goose, till we have got
all we want for our own and neighbors' use.

And lighting my pipe much to the engineer's disgust, who
does the weed despise, we meander forth into the toggy,
slippery plats, in search of some snipe, whose sca'p, soap,
has more than once challenged our attention.

Ordering the dogs on, Fanny and Nannie with their fast
aud speedy pace, with Judy and Boy older, and having moie
experience cutting across lots, direct to game in most in-
stances, they make a pretty sight, first Fan then Nannie
may be Boy or Judy have their turn at finding, pointing ard
backing, nor does it take any longer to get a good bag of the
zizgagging, scalping birds, which very seldom get away from
the crack of gun, and if dropped, never escape the search of
one or more of our four footed, keen nosed friends.

Homeward again we went our way,

Across bay and slough, nor mind tbe wet,

For our rubber boots are now dry and warm;

Looking back, with pleasure at the past

Which has gone, never to return again,

We think of tramps both hard and long,

In field or by stream, with our dogs and gun

Of beauties brown, which havn tumbled down

To the crack of om choke bored gun;

Silendid work of dogs well trained,

With their range so Bwift, and nose so sure

Tip Top style, and retrieving fine

Make our pulses to beat.

Or maybe 'tis of an evening's sport.
With dog aud gun in some good blind
Ducks flying fast, and tumbling down
With here and there a goose; we think
And pondering o'er sucb scenes now pas t,
Our hearts do beat with plea ure and joy;
Nor do we forget returning borne,
With well filled bag and healthy glow,
On cbeek and appetites within
The welcome there, the loving face
And shining eyes of loved ones dear,
The well cooked meal which cheers
And fills the inner man.
As never before was he filled.

PerhaDB it is of forest wild,

Trees mammoth small and dead;

Of brake and undergrowth

His trusty rifle in his grasp.

Watching for deer the cover to break;

With rush and crash, and bead erect,

Of the sight along tbe shining tube,

Tbe crack and jump of buck

Or doe, as it comes stumbling down,

With broken neck or pierced beart;

Never more that proud head to rear aloft

He dreams, and dreaming longs for more,

Such visions and Bcenes of pleasure sweet.

Again it is of plains so wide
Devoid of ree, or house or man
Himself and faithful comrade prove
Unto the earth as with stealthy crawls
They reach a knoll which on tbe other side
Oontains some antelope so shy
Climbing slowly to the top
And peering o'er, there stands our game
With head erect all ready to decamp
Our sight we take and trigger pull
And may be fixe again to make sure
What sight is there so entrancing quite
I'd like to know, no doubt would you

A Change of Name.

Mr. F. E. Pond's delightful publication, "Wild wood's Maga-
zine," issued from Chicago, has been ohanged in title, now
being called "Becreation." The magazine, now entering upon
its second year of exuberant, breezy, balsamic, sportsmanly
life, has not been changed in character, but has been strength-
ened, editorially, by the addition of Mr. Charles Hallock to
the Btaff. Mr. Hallock will have head-quarters in Washing-
ton, D. C. Of the scope of tbe publication, Editor Pond
sayB:

"A magazine professedly devoted to the higher literature
of manly sport, must be fed and thrive in the open air, and
it must be imbued with tho spirit of al fresco life. But it
must also draw some proportion of pabulum and inspiration
from the alcoves of intellectual philosophy and applied
science. It should have a semi-scieniitio cast of feature, and
its eim should be to embody the thoughtful observations of
intelligent sportsmen and collectors who are able to discover,
in the couise of their outings aud Seld days, something more
valuable and instructive than mere incidents of hunting and
fishing, and have the genius to impart it to others in an en-
tertaining manner. It is not all of fishing to fish, nor all of
hunting to hunt. The robuat and athleiio rtadiug public is
becoming oloyed with mere sketohes of vacation incidtnts
aud the vicissitudes of the back woods camp; of simple pho-
tographs of attractive localities and thin superficial enumera-
tion. These old 'chestnuts' are becoming mouldy, and even
new devices and new pastimeB are not always worth the mei-
tion. Not tnat the limit of ingenuity iu diversion has been
reached, but in this growing iutelleotual age men require
something more than mere perfunctory amusement. Toys
may do for children, but men would know the philosophy of
sport, We wish to study the .outcome of what we have

accomplished during the past two deoades toward creating a
healthy interest in out-door sports, and we would begin to
inquire for what economic purpose (cui bono) the biceps has
been developed and the bloom of the rose implanted on the
healthy cheek of woman."

A curious but wise ordinance has recently been passed to
print by the commisioners of the town of Calcutta, Bengal,
forbidding the bringing within corporate limits any game bird
or animal during the olose seasons. The ordinance might
well be copied by the Board of Supervisors of the large oities,
and if enforced would practically solve the question of pro-
tection for game and tish. The Calcutta laws reads:

The "breeding season" for the purpose of these rules shall
extend from the 1st May to the 30th September.

Whoever during tbe breeding season brings into the town
of Calcutla any wild bird, deer, or hare recently killed or
taken, shall be liable to tine not exceeding Rs. 5 for each
bird or animal.

Whoever during the breeding season imports into the town
the plumage of any kind of wild bird recently killed or taken,
or ihe fur or skin of any bare or deer recently killed or taken,
shall be liable to a hno not exceeding Rs. 5 ior each bird or
animal.

In the case of a second conviction, the tine may extend to
Rs. 10 each bird or animal.

Hints on Bullet Making-

Mr. John B. Martin, San Francisco, Cal., has sold Dash'
red Irish setter dog pup by Mike T., out of Lady Elcho T.,
to Mr. A. B. Trnman, San Francisco, Cal.

Whelps.

1 wonder if you have ever thought to inquire into the
component parts of what is sold under the heading of pig-
lead, and if you have ever attempted to make bullets of it.
Before you do, have a care and see what it is made of, says
J. P. B., in Shooting and Fishing. A friend of mine, an
expert bullet maker, tells me that half of the so-called pure
lead for sale in the hardware stores contains more or less
zinc. The lead-sheeting which is found between the tea and
the side of a tea-chest will be found to be excellent for the
manufacture of rifle bullets. I do not know why it should
be especially good, whether the process of rolling the lead
into such thin sheets has any effect upon the density of the
lead but I have always found that this tea-chest lead, when
melted in a pot and the refuse or dross thrown out, makes a
more dense or solid looking bullet than any of the ordinary
pig or bar lead found in the stores, snd from which the
majority of home-made bullets are made.

Except for localities where ammunition is very difficult to
obtain, I do not think that with the standard rifles it pays
(for hunting especially) to make your own bullets. The
cartridges made by, or recommended by-manufacturers of
the standard rifles will be found to do much better shooting
ihan the majority of "home mades." And even if a man
(through motives or notions) of ecommy, desires to load his
own cartridges, if his iifle is a standard arm, I should strongly
advise him to buy the ready-Bwaged bullets from the factory.
A few hundred of these do not cost much, and for use in
big bores at least (I mean .40-45 or .50 calibres) if taken to
the woods, will spare a man endless trouble.

Bullet making is slow, tedious and very warm work, and
generally it iB not really worth the trouble, especially to the
man who w?shes to get the very best results, which oan only
be got by the most perfect of bullets, and the factory made
bullet is near enough to perfection to suit most people. Some
gunmakers who load cartridges are very particular. Meas-
uring the powder is not good enough for them. So extreme-
ly acourate are they that each charge is weighed out in a set
of scales which detects the very slightest fraction of a grain
too much or little.

That Seattle correspondent "Jay See En" is fairly exuber-
ant this week, and one cannot but enter into the rollicking
apirit in which he describes the pleasure had with famous
"Silalicum." But his poesy— what of that? The poem is
not a gaBteropod, nor is it either a biped or a quadruped.
A permanent reward haDgs in this office, to be given to the
sportsman who will scan that verse at Bight. But it's good.

Mr. E. T. Allen, of 416 Market Street, San Francisco,
advertises this week that he keepB the best assortment of guns,
fishing tackle and sportsmen's goods on the Pacific Coast.
Mr. Allen's name has long been synonymous with courtesy
and fair dealing among all who knew him, and we are pleased
to learn that his energy and alertness are causing his trade
to extend widely and in most desirable connections.

Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 630—932 Montgomery
street, San Francisco, appear in the advertising columns
with an announcement that is of particular interest when read
in connection with the bench Bhow to be given next week at
Mechanics' Pavilion. The firm is always fully abreast of the
times on all lines falling within the province of the sporting
goods trade, and on some lines makes it a point to be ahead
of all competitors here or elsewhere. Just now we are in-
formed the Golcher store is full to overflowing with Glover's
Dog Remedies, the finest pug harnesses, leading straps,
kennel chains, collars, whips, blankets, cleaning brushes and
polishing leathers, muzzles, and everything else requisite
to the toilet of the most fashionable dog. The kennel chains
offered are of tbe pattern adopted by the Paci6c Kennel
Club, the Westminster Kennel Club, the Eoglish Kennel
Club and other leading doggy organizations.

California Kennel's Llewellin setter bitch Miss Druid
(Druid— May B.), to owners Harold (Gath— Gem), May 7,
1S89.

He makes the statement that I "have very little faith in
Cohoon to think he would give a wrong date or to breed a
bitch out of proper season." Now the amount of faith I may
have does not alter the fact that he, Cohoon, did both. The
wrong date of birth presumedly unintentionally given, which
I have proven and as to breeding the bitches out of proper
season. I have Mr. Cohoon's letter before me wherein he
states that tbe bitches Vic and Cherry were bred at first heat
and before he expected to sell them. Now I have been in-
timately acquainted with Mr. E. Cohoon, proprietor of
'■Handsome liuok Kennel" for many years, and bred several
bitches for several years in partnership with him, and helped
him in many ways, and as often explained to him clearly the
injustice to purchasers, to the offspring, to himself and the
damage to the bitch bred by so doing, and yet he confesses
to having done it in these cases al least. So this aUoisnot
Dr. Davenport's fault. I admit having sold Dr. Davenport
several puppies, and of receiving very complimentary letters
from him in regard to them except one fine one which had
contracted lice from sleeping upon an old previously used
blanket which had oontracted them unbeknown to myself
and the doctor did not fail to let me know of the fact in Buch
Btrong terms tnat I made quick work of destroying the blanket
and renovating the sleeping stall. I always thought that he
might have informed me in a little milder manner, if he had
stopped and considered. It is also a fact that I reluctantly
consented to board a puppy for him for a few weeks as au
accommodation to him. and that the puppy killed himself
from eating gravel (tine broken granite). I had rather the
pup had not died, aud so consented to make no charge for
board and trouble, as my share of the unfortunate circum-
stances, but I refused to pay for the puppy, for I had pre-
viously lost too much money trying to accomodate.

His statement that I um aware that he has three of the
finest cocker bitches in America, and that is what makes one
feel bad certainly "breaks me all up." It is a great mys-
tery to me now that should have come to pass, as I have
never seen them nor heard about tuern until I discovered the
errors as published in regard to them; but we will concede
that he is blessed with the same affection that all good dog
owners rejoice under.

If his Pet H. is by Col. Stubbs out of Beauty, why did he
not have it published thus in the first place instead of claim-
ing her to be out of Flirt and so save me making another
correcticii and being called jealouB. And if "Vic is liver with
white on breast, why did be publish her as liver and white;
and the bitch Little Butterfly in Vic's pedigree should I «
Little Buttercup. These things make us" old "Gcd a' hers,"
tired to say the least, as well as often very perplexing, which
our frfend, the Dr., calls jealous, but as I have done the best
I can to get our good friend's pedigrees in better form. I trust
he will see fit to change his opinion. M. P. McKoon.

Stockton, May 13th, 1889.

Pacific Kennel Club.

From Mr. Horace Green.

The Executive Committee of the club has been meeting
every eveuing of the week, to make sure that no detail "of
the show has been overlooked. The Managing Committee
for "Wednesday will be Messrs. "William Schreiber, Clarence
A. Haightand H. H. Briggs. The committee has requested
Mr. H. R. Brown to act as steward for the first day an 1 he
has consented. Judging will begin on "Wednesday at 9
o'clock, and it is important that all owners should be pres-
ent at that time, to handle their dogs when called into the
ring. A rule of the club is that no dog will be admitted un-
less supplied with suitable collar and chain. The meaning
of the rule is that owners of dogs sent with flimsy collars or
chains that are manifestly not strong enough to insure the
retention of the animals will be compelled to purchase prop-
er chains and collars before their entriesare accepted. One of
the greatest nuisance of a dog show has been found to be the
breaking loose of dogs at night, especially the larger dogs.
Especially ordered kennel chains, with three Bwivels, and of
ample strength will beat hand near the entrance door of the
Pavilion, together with an assortment of collars.

Mr. McKoon Replies to Dr. Davenport.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman; — I notice in April 27th
issue of your admirable journal that Dr. Davenport replies to
my letter in April 20th issue, and I will in this try and set
him all straight upon those pedigrees as far as is in my power.

At first, however, I would call your attention to a few typo-
graphical errors which crept in my letter of April 20th. In
fourth line from top, instead of "Franklin, N. R., it should
read Franklin, N. Y., and in the tenth line the name "Nellie"
should Le Nellie C, and in same line the word "on" should
read due. and in the twelfth line the name "Kate" should be
Kute. With attention called to these unavoidable errors, the
reader will be less liable to go astray.

I am very certain that Dr. Davenport showed an uncom-
plimentary spirit, and did wrong, to say the least, in exhibit-
ing the spirit manifested in his reply to in-, also in accusing
me of being jealous, while I was working for his best interest in
trying to get his pedigrees in correct form, for were they per-
mitted to remain as published, they would have been very
difficult to have rectified in years to come when a flaw
appeared in them, aud would have worked injury to all future
records, breeders and owners as well. I have now further
proof before me that I am correct in the matter by a letter
just received from tbe proprietor of Handsome Brook Ken-
nel." in which he writes as follows: "I find npon reference
to my old record book that Dr. Davenport's 'Vic,' wpb
whelped December 27, 1887. Id drawing off onto my
new book I had entered it as October 27, 1887, and so in
giving it to Dr. Davenport had followed that as a guide."
Now it would naturally seem as if Dr. Davenport had me to
thank instead of showing tbe spirit manifested, for this help
in correctiog the pedigree at this early and best time, and I
cannot discover upon what grounds he accuses me of jealousy,
as such would be very unnatural for me who has helped so
liberally both himself and the Handsome Brook Kennel. All
breeders should iook closely to the minutest particulars in
their pedigrees of Block as it is very unpleasant for other
kennels to be publicly called jealouB when endeavoring to
rectify their errors.

Mr. Horace Grean of New York city writes to the Secretary
of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club to reserve accommoda-
tions for himself and wife during the field trials next January.
Mr. Green is widely known among the leading merchants of
Gotham, having passed more than a half century in active
business life there, and now in the Indian summer of his
days be wisely elects to spend some time at Bakersfield, and
may bring with him some friend of equally pronounced
sympathy with reasonable recreations, such as shooting over
dogs, the ownership of trotters, or the like. Mr. Green
writes: **The constitution and running rules of the Pacific
Coast Field Trial Club came a week or more ago, but it was
not until to-day that it occured to me that dog culture, dog
science, dog development, or whatever the word should be,
is something in which the average citizen is supposed to take
au interest. As an average citizen, as perhaps more than
the average citizen, siDce I have more or less of an apprecia-
tion of trotters, I proceed to indicate my sympathy with the
canine race, if the race will accept the application of the
word, by signifying my intention to be present next January
at the Derby contest, without perhaps a dog eompanioo, all
the same, I shall try to get there and shall bet my money on
breed, color and sex. on my own natural dog instinct, with*
out the recognition of *'nod or wink" by the experienced pro-
fessional. Look out for me, and see to it that I fball not
want for a cot. Our centenDial of last week has stirred up
in the masses a certain indefinable, thongh appreciable, im-
pulse, which, "taken at its flood," and the flood cannot begin
to ebb until after the Christopher Columbus quadriennial
centennial in 1892, may send to California next winter a
multitude too great for the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club
hotel accommodations, bo I repeat, reserve a cot tor your
subscriber and Mrs. Subscriber."

The Natiooal Field Trials.

The National Pointer and Setter Field Trials (England)
were held on April 16th, 17th and ISth, the running taking
place on Sir Thomas Boughey's estate, near Newport, Salop.
The estate, Aqnalate, contains about 10,000 acres and is suit*
able for the purposes of the trials. Owing to the bad, rainy
weather which prevailed on the first two days, there was a
slim attendance. Hares were very plentiful yet they did not
interfere much with the running. The birds were in suffi-
cient numbers to afford tbe necessary opportunities for a
trial. Capt. Molyneaux, Mr. Thomas Pilkingtou and Lord
TVaterpark were tbe judges; the two latter leaving on Thurs-
day afternoon. Rev. W. Searjeantson officiating inptead. Tbe
Setter Puppy Stokes had twenty starters, the prizes being,
first £40 and £10 added money; second, £30; third, £15;
fourth, £10. The work was of a very inferior quality. The
winners are as follows: First, G. Shaw's Pride of Salop (Lit-
tle Billey — Bess); second, A. P. Haywood-Lonsdale's Rosa
(Ross — Petti Sing); third, A. P. Haywood-Lonsdale's Ranger
(Dick Wind'em — Peep Bn); fourth, F C. Lowe's Trip of
Kippen) Tutsham Trip— Dido). The Pointer Poppy Stakes
had thirteen starters. The prizes were £30 and £10 added
money to first; £20 to second; £10 to third. Lorra Doon of
Kippen) was first; F C Lowe's Gem of Kippen (Kent Cob —
Magpie), second; and T. Statter's Toil (Naso of Upton — Titia)
third. In the final to determine the ahsnlute winner, the
pointer, Banco, easily defeated th» setter, Pride of Salop.

Tbe Acton ReyDald Stakes, for aged pointers and setters,
had eleven starters, seven setters and four pointers. Id set-
ters James Bishop's Bonny Daisy (Sailor — Flora) was first,
and F- Bibby's Randolph (Torry II.— Border Nell) was sec-
ond. In pointers, G. Pilkington's Woolton Game (Gough—

Bang — Pollie) Becond. Id the final heat, to determiue abso-
lute winner tetween Woolton Game and Bonny Daisy, the
pointer was victorious; the same two ran the final heal for
the puppy prize last year, the setter also being then

Napa Turf Club.
The above mentioned club were to have had a two
days meetings this week, but the rainfall was so great
that it was deemed expedient to postpone until a future
date. President Loeber has telegraph us to change the
advertisement, and announce that the races will take
place on June 7th and Sth. The purses are very liberal
and the entry list will undoubtedly be large, for there
are a number of our horsemen who want to school their
youngsters preparatory to the heavv campaign work of
the fall. Take a look at the new announcemeut and
make up your mind to enter at once.

Death of the Czar.

The telegraph brings the news, that at Council Bluffs
on Monday last, the Czar died from the effects of pluro
pneumonia. This altogether unexpected event, was a
sad blow to the followers of the "Winters' stable, as
many were convinced, that this son of old Norfolk, was
the greatest three-year-old that ever drew breath. That
be was a great horse no ona, can doubt who has aeen him
run, his bursts of speed, being of the pbeuomenal order.
As a two-year-old he ranked very high, showing at au
early stage, that he was equally as good, if not better,
than his illustrious brother. Mr. Winters will feel the
loss keenly, for we know that he had builded on what
he would do in the three-year- old events, in which he
was entered in the East, and it is an open secret that he
could have got -$25,000 for the colt if he would have
sold. We heartily sympathize with Mr. Winters in his
great loss, and sincerely trust that with the others he
may do so well, that the memory of the great unbeaten
may not be of long duration.

Progressive Value of Horses.

With the progressive increase in the valuation of
broad lands throughout the country and real property in
towns, and cities, the value of live stock is keeping com-
mensurate pace. This is true, especially of the noblest
of animal creation domesticated to the uses of mankind,
the horse. Every year the measure of encouragement in
the breeding and sale of horses is greater, the results
more gratifying. With the progress of Time and the
mutations incident thereto, there is a very apparent
manifestation of advancement in the appreciation of
horses, particularly in quality, and this carries with it
improvement of every kind and degree.

This great and almost universal development of ad-
vanced enlightment has been opened to the world since
the discovery of the gold mines of unparalleled richness
in California, and all along the Northern Pacific Coast,
andin Australia. As good seed sown broadcast over the
earth, the gold and silver dug from the mines have fer-
tilized the globe, given impetus to invention and enter-
prise, roused people to greater efforts in every field of
lucrative industry and skill, enhanced values of pos-
sessions of permanent nature, cheapened the means of
communication, facilitated commerce and travel, eased
and better rewarded toil, inspired man to prodigies of
undertaking before deemed impossible, added fresh en-
courageirent to every beneficent pursuit, and excited
mankind to the utmost which knowledge, science and
art, and labor can perform.

The horse is the most valuable of all the animal king-
dom to the human family. Consequently, the greater
attention is devoted to the breeding and care of horses.
The unexampled progress made in all the pursuits of en-
lightened life embraces this study and purpose. Prior
to this Age of Gold, the topmost value of the most cele-
brated horse did not exceed a sum that could be written
low in the scale of five figures, the tens-of-thousands,
and from the ordinary horse of common use upward —
the crack roadster, the safe hunter, the spanking pair for
light wagon or carriage — to the speedy trotter and thor-
oughbred racer, the price ranged from $75 to $5,000.
There was much pride and little profit in breeding the
best of these, but there was not "big money " in it. Note
now the change which has come in respect to horses,
all the way from $500 to $50,000, and even the extraor-
dinary sums of $75,000 and $100,000 figure in the state-
ment of offers which have been refused for the most
famous of the monarchs of the turf. This is the conse-
quence of careful and intelligent breeding, in which the
selection of the fittest is the chief and deterniiaative rule.

The United States is the land of famous trotters, as
England is the country most renowned for thoroughbreds
and racers. Nobody now believes the stories of Flying
Childers running one mile in one minute, nor the prodi-
gies related of his sire, Darley Arabiau, and of the cele-
brated barb Godolphin. Exact timing watcheB had not
been invented at that period, and other close details of
racing, as conducted at this time, were not practised for
the sufficient reason that they were not known. It may
be nearly accurate that Flying Childers ran 4 miles 1
furlong and 136 yards in 7:50*^eq>ual to four miles in

7:8.2 — but not strictly accurate, because of the imperfec-
tion of timing and track measurement, and other essential
conditions in turf performances for record. The 7:19| of
Lexington, the 7: 19£ of Fellowcraft, and the subsequent
7:15| of Ten Broeck, fully authenticated, are as supports
to the probability that the performance of Flying Child-
ers was marvellous, and that his time approximated the
figures related. Flying Childers was the sire of the first
great Eclipse, whose famous descendant in America, of
the same name, defeated Sir Henry in 1823, making the
four miles in 7:37£. It is in trotters that the gradual
improvement of horses is more apparent; that the
development of speed is better noted. From the "less
than three minutes" reported of Boston Blue, in 1818,
and the 2:40 of Albany Pony, in 1824, followed the
2:26£, saddle, of Lady Suffolk, in 1847, the 2:19f of Flora
Temple, in 1859, the 2. 17| of Dexter, in 1S67, and the
2:16| of Occident, in 1873. Since then the extraordinary
"flyers" have astonished the world with their marvels of
record-breaking — Earus, Lulu, Smuggler, Gloster, Ethan
Allen, Great Eastern, down to 2:15; Goldsmith Maid
2:14, Jay -Eye-See still lower, St. Julian 2:11$, and at
last the amazing feat of Maud S. 2:08$. All these show
regular progression of speed from the "less than three
minutes" of 1824 to 2:0S£ in this period, a total gain of
more than fifty seconds in the mile, of which nearly eight
seconds have been gained within the last forty years;
and from 2:08£ many believe that the mile will yet be
trotted in two minutes.

In running the record bears no parallel to that of trot-
ting. From Darley Arabian to Bend d'Or and Ormonde
and Ayrshire, from Flying Childers and Godolphin to
American Eclipse and Lexington and Ten Broeck, the
development of endurance has been inconsiderable, and
of speed not at all to be compared with that of trotters,
which is readily to be accounted for, in this: During
these one hundred and fifty years or more, the best care
aDd intelligent training have been devoted to the racer
and his improvement by judicious breeding through
finest thoroughbred blood, sire and dam; while with the
trotter it is within the last thirty years that equal atten-
tion and study have been exercised in the breeding and
training, with high order of intelligence to direct the
development.

Speed, reckoned by minutes and seconds and fractions
of seconds, as it is computed in America, is not observed
in England. The speed that wins in the field of contest
with the endurance and mettle to sustain it. are the qual-
ities sought for. With us, the minutest fraction of time
is of importance in estimating the value of the horse
alike in the runner and the trotter. Only the rich can
afford to indulge the pride and cater to the enjoyment of
the turf.

In England the nobility and aristocracy are its chief
patrons. In this country those of large wealth are be-
coming the chief breeders. The gold and silver dug
from the mines of the Pacific Coast and Australia have
in effect revolutionized the enlightened world. Among
the fruits are the colossal enterprises which mark the
period since their discovery — the transcontinental rail-
ways, the peopling of countries before barely known,
the enormous ocean traffic by steam, the cutting through
of Suez to facilitate the expanding commence, the won-
ders in every field of art, in the realm of science. With-
out abundant money these vast exterprises were not
possible. The prodigious outflow aroused men to their
practicability. They already exist, are accomplished,
and still the outlook and march are onward to accom-
plish greater -marvels.

Attendent fruits of this rapidly accumulating wealth

the perennial harvests of the broadcast seed — are enjoyed
in the pleasures and comforts of life, in substantial forms
and in luxuries, in magnificence of architecture,|in lavish
ornamentation of grounds, in sumptuous surroundings,
in habits, in dress, in equipages, in everything. The
natural pride in horses this expanding wealth aids to
gratify. There are a thousand possessed of milllions
now who in their youth never dreamed of so much wealth.
From Girard and Astor, the roll of millions has increased
to tens of thousands in the LTnited States, and all over
the world are multiplying examples. Many more tens
of thousands approximate their wealth or cooy their
methods of sumptuous living,.- The possession of the
finest horses is conspicuous among these indulgences.
Pi ice is less a consideration than blood and speed, and
from this comes the rich profit of the careful breeder.

The large sum paid for Dexter by Bonner was the be-
ginning of the flood tide in the value of trctters. It gave
new and great encouragement to the owners of breeding
farms throughout the country, in every State and county.
Breeders had handsomely prospered, but great wealth
was not anticipated. Sales aggregating tens of thou-
sands were expected, but the most hopeful did not look
forward to an increase to hundreds of thousands, and
that more Bonners rcere to oompete as purchasers was
not imagined,

"Money makes theniare go." Aye, and money makes
the horse to grow in quality and worth. It is the "breed-
ers golden harvest. Since Bonner paid the high price
for Dexter, other famous trotters hare been bought and
sold for much higher prices, up to $50, 000. Highbred
colts have sold for thousands, yearlings for above S 10,000,
two-year-olds for $30,000, and $75,000 has been offered
and refused for Guy Wilkes. The blood of Hambleton-
ian, of Mambrino, of Grleneo, BelmoDt, Leamington,
Lexington, Almont, Electioneer, Sultan, Benton, Nut-
wood, Abdallah, Messenger, Clay, and other great sires,
flows as Pactolian streams to enrich the breeders and
delight the turf with fresh wonders in performance.
California holds a prominent place among the famous
breeding farms of the Union. The product of theBe
farms go out to the benefit, profit and enrichment of the
farmer as well as the turfman, to the improvement of
his stock and the enhancement of his property, to the
gratification of his pride and his higher standing in com-
mimity. A fine colt is equivalent to an abundant har-
vest in a year of high prices for products.

The demand for high-bred and speedy horses is in-
creasing, and the market is illimitable, in other parts of
the world the same as in America. Last year sales of
twenty-six yearlings were made in England at from
1,500 to 2,800 guineas, and for the yearling Maxamilian
4,100 guineas was paid — over $25,500. Even higher
prices have been paid in our country. But with the
examples ready for all to note, there can be no question
as to the great profit there is in breeding superior horses.

The stock advertised by me in last issue of Breeder and
Sportsman, were held and accumulated by me through the
assistance of friends, for the last ten years. The mare, young
Miami, I bought from the late Bill Hall, of Santa Clara, in
1875, then a yearling past, for a good roond figure. I have
clang to her through might and main, but now she has to go
with five of her fillies and one stud colt. The colts I have
bred with an eye single to their retaining the.trotting instinct,
with sufficient backing up to enable them to stay in a contest
until the service was over. Trotters are born, not made;
and I am satisfied if those colts fall into the hands of an
artist, iney will add to his fame, and bring fortune to their
owner. The two black fillies offered in this lot I did not
raise, bat have the breeders' sworn certificate as to their
breeding. Atlamont who sired one, and the dam of the other
all horsemen know, a3 he trotted at Bay District, two years
ago, to wagon in 2:26f, which wsb not the measure of his
speed. Kisber, the sire of the dam of one aud sire of the tire
of the other, was considered bj1 horsemen to be one of the
greatest stallions living He trotted in a race, a half in 16/,
with heavy track, Bhowed a mile in 2:16 private, and came to
San Francisco with a record of 2:27i, willing to meet all
comers for the championship; got pnenmonia on the steamer
coming down from Oregon, and died in this city about two
years ago, a great Iosb to this country.

The brown horse offered is out of Lady Hercules, the dam
of Arab, is 12 years old; was foaled on Corbett's Plaoe, San
Mateo, (Howard Kanch). The first colt she ever had the bill
showy bred to Irvington Straight but whether he' or the teaser
served the mare I refer the public to Coibett. I have held
on to him, hoping I would be able to have him worked, as
he has gait and breeding enough to trot bb fast as any horse
living. He has not had harness on for ten years. This sale
is absolute on account of exhausted credits and cracked
friendship. 3t* F. S. Malone.

The Combination Sale.

Messrs. Killip & Co. had not their usual success on Tues_
day last, when the well advertised combination sale took
place at the Bay District track. The attendance was not near
as large as the sale warranted, and the bidding was very Blow
and tedious, except in pne instance, when Grace B. was of-
fered, the bidding jumping from $250 to $900 in a few seconds,
but she was bought in for $1350, as it was understood she
must bring at least $1500. Among those present who made
purchases were James Dnstin, F. M. Burke, L. C. Clawson,
Ira Bamsdell, B. C. Holly, T. Wait, H. Wieland, F. W. Loe-

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have received in th«
last week, about a dozen letters from gentleman of different
parts of the State, asking me if I would allow "Noonday"
any more mares. In reply, I would like to answer through
your paper, so that all will know that it woald be impossible
for me to accommodate the gentlemen as I have allowed
Noonday to serve now more mares than I intended, and my
accommodation, for pasturage and feeding hay is very poor.
Noonday will be here in this State next season, 1890, and
then my accommodation for a good pasture will be much
better than now, and can have the services of Noonday who
desire. Sam'l Gamble.

N. I. Baldwin, Secretary.
Fresno, Cal., May 14, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — From time to time a
desire by many is expressed to form an association of our
own, one which will have jurisdiction over all trotting and
paciogs contests that lake place on the FaciGc Coast, in the
same manner as is now exercised by the National and the
American Trotting Horse Association. That instead of pay-
ing away money to distant organizations and have often long
delayed justice, that we govern our affairs for ourselves at
much leas cost, thus keeping the money among ourselves for
the benefit of our home horse interest, and with certainly an
equal probability of obtaining justice.

It has been suggested that the new association of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders undertake this duty,
but no one seems willing to formulate a plan how to do it.
With the view of starting the ball in motion, 1 will suggest
"That each trotting track bhonld join this Breeders' Associa-
tion; that it pay the seme admission fee of $25 each that
members now pay; that each race track association appoint
one of their number to represent their association; that such
appointees be the directors, who may appoint a small board
from their own number, or act as a whole. Of course the
President and Secretary governed by rules and regulations
formulated by all the members, would dispose of nearly all
cases that would arise, and if any complications would arise
then at quarterly meetings such cases could come up on
appeal before the members.

This lund of $25 paid by each race track would be a pen-
arate fund devoted to pay the recurring expenses of this
branch of the business, and nothing more would be required
to be paid by any race track for that year. Yearly payments
of perhaps $25 would have to be made. Assuming that sub-
stantially all trotting associations on this Coast joined, and
together with such fines as would be collected, would pay all
expenses, for the expense would be confined to the pay of
a competent secretary, for that is the only paid officer that
would be required, and he could attend to all the duties re-
quired to be performed by both branches of the Breeders'
Association. This would enable us to pay a competent man
to give his entire time to the business.

There may be those who fear that such a local association
confined to the Pacific Coast would not give sufficient pro-
tection to horse owners. I have uo such fear. There is in
the first place a probability that both the national and Amer-
ican associations in the EaBt would be willing to co-operate
with us. If, however, otherwise, the penalty of being de-
barred from driving or starting a horse on any track of tbe
Pacific Coast would be sufficient power to hold over ninety-
nine cases out of a hundred to induce the willingness to
settle, and if there was one ont of very many who refused, it
would be a good evidence of a hard case, which is Bimple,
and this plan of forming this association is free from compli-
cations, and by unity of action and putting details into
proper shape, this plan seems to me feasible, and that it will
bring benefits can be easily seen. To govern ourselves, to
pay the smallest amount of money for good service and gov-
ernment, and to have all matters speedily adjusted at the
place where they occur must commend itBelf to all.

We cannot give the correct weights carried by the starters
in tbe Peabody Handicap, as three different papers give cif-
ferent weights. When the first Turf Guide comes to band,
will then be able to give the official weights. In reference to
the over weights in Handicaps to which vou allude, an excess
of five pounds is allowed, but no more.

The Cloverly Stakes, for braces, dogs and bitches, pointers
and sellers, any ages, have five braces. First was won ty
Mr Parcell-ljlewellin'd setters, Coqaet B. (Dashing Bondho
— Ducaecri Primrose) and Belle Bundhn (Dashing Bondhu —
Duchess Placid); secoDd by K, LI. Price's pointers, Sir Wat-
kin (Jasper— Mink) and Miss Sixpence (Lucky Sixpence —
Golden Slippers). A testimonial, valued at £100, was pre-
sented to Mr. Brailsford by numerous field trial supporters.

The International Field Trial Club's first meeting was held
near Cologne, Germany, on April 15 and 16. There were
forty-seven dogs nominated, of which twenty-nine were
starters, sixteen of which were in the stake for pointers, set-
ters and griffons, and thirteen in that for the German breed.
The drawing for the stake for the former took place at the
Hotel du Nord, on the evening of April 14, and for the Ger-
man dogs, on April 15. The prizes in the All-Age Stake,
open to pointers, setters and Griffons, were £30 to first, £15
to second, £5 to third, u total of £50, which was divided
equally between Mr. C. J. Cockerill's Flock (Borax — Merry),
Blanche of Bussengen (Gonnei — Blanche of Devon), Scamp
(Burax — Madame), and A.J. Kreuser'sDamo i (Faust — Leda),
the judges rating them abont equal in merit. Owing to the
convenience in reaching Cologue from England, France and
Belgium, it is said that these trials will be permanently fixed
to ocour near that city. Some of the running was exct ptionally
high in quality, but the griffons did not compare at all favor-
ably with the English breeds.

Mr. Wm. Graham, or as he is better known, the Irish Am-
bassador, does not often get a rise taken out of him in the
line of dogs, says Forest and Stream, bnt the following little
tale, if true, shows that complications may arise that are not
contemplated even in the beHt laid plans: It appears, so the
story goes, that in some unexplained manner the Ambassador
became the owntr of a dog that in common parlance was a
"bad ud," and how to get rid of him without any strain upon
his conscience became an absorbing queston. Finally the
dog was given to a person who was about 10 exhibit at a
distant show with instructions to enter him for sale at £20,
and to accept the best offer obtainable, one-half the proceeds to
be retained for the service. Now it happens that the Ambass-
ador had a friend to whom he had given a roving commission
to purchase any dog that was good and cheap aud the friend
happened to attend this show, and seeing the dog— a veritable
"fl a t- catcher" — was so pleased with it that he at once se-
cured it, paid the price aud shipped it forthwith to the Am-
bassador, who is still trying to figure up the profit and Iosb
in the transaction.

ROD.

Troutiner at Glen Ellen.

Mr. William Graham, who is to judge all classes at the
bench show which begins on Wednesday next at Mechanic's
Pavilion, left New York for San Francisco ou May 9th, but is
coming by easy stages, so as to reach here just before the
show opens. He comes, with the endorsement of good men,
as a competent "all round" judge, as good aB any in England,
and consequently better than any to be had elsewhere. Local
exhibitors are not so fataoas as to expect omniscience in any
man, and some awards made by the Judge may be open to
criticism, but the expectation is jostified that Mr. Graham
will judge without fear or favur, and that his awards will go
as ne»r to being such as would be made by specialists as the
awards of any man can be who is called upon to judge breeds
so many and bo diverse. He is particularly at home in the
non-sporting classes, and will have a large and good exhibit
before him. He has judged the sporting breeds on many
occasions, particularly spaniels, and has had ample oppor-
tunity to familiariza himself with the best types benched
during the past decade.

Personally. Mr. Graham is a thoroughly sound, sensible,
modest and pleasant man, and it is certain that, whatever his
judgments may be, he will form many lasting friendships.
He has come five thousand miles to judge, the longest trip of
the sort ever made, and should be so cordially received and
so well entertained that he will feel at once that dog men are
dog men, whether chancing to live in Belfast, New York, or
San Francisco. We wish him welcome, and the best success
in his arduous task.

It is quite on the cards that Mr. Oldham, the spaniel man.
will take a team of fonr cracks ont to the San Francisco
Bench Show, held the latter part of this month, says a New
York contemporary. So if he goes the East will be repre-
sented by at least one worthy team. We also hear that he
will astonish the 'Frisconians with an entirely new repertoire
of Bonas. By the way, the fire which we briefly alluded to
last week was more serious to this gentleman's goods and
chattels than we supposed, some $1,500 damage being in-
curred. Among other things lost were all his kennel records,
certificates, etc. Several dog pictnres were also burnt. Glen-
oairn, Newton Abbot Laddie and Kirkella, the 8kye, were in
a room jast off the dining room, where most of the damage
was done; and Mr. Oldham, with a wet blanket wrapped
round him, had to grope his way in, and securing a hold on
the almost suffocated dogs, fired them out of the window on-
to the lawn. A narrow escape and no mistake.

About the Jolly Planter litter, noted elsewhere, the breeder
writes: "I enclose yon notice of my lateBt in the dog line.
Just came to-day. There are five black and white, and two"
clear white, with indications of profaBe ticks. These are the
first I have had by my Jolly, and unless I am mistaken they
will prove fine ones. The mother is an extra keen hunter,
with a movement like a race horse, displaying a verv fine nose*.
Jolly has the best nose I ever saw and as keen" as can be!
I am afraid I cannot get up to the Bhow. I am awfully sorry.
Neither can I send my dogs. Angie has jast whelped. Claude
is coming in heat, and Jolly has not ytt got coat enough to
show. I shall try hard to get to the show, for I am anxious
to Bee Graham's judging. I enclose you pedigree of the
youngsters. H. T. Payne.

When the next issue goes out, the second show under
auspices of the Pacitio Kenuel will have passed into the doggy
annals of the city. The club has been faithful to its trust
and mure than fulfilled all its promises in the paBt. Its first
show was by odds the neatest, best arranged, and best con-
ducted dog show ever given in America. The coming event
has been arranged on the most liberal basis. Every
precaution in the way of feeding, medical oversight, Bafety
and comfort of the dogs has been taken.

Not a caaeoi sickness oonld be traced to the last showanj
we hope like good fortune will attend the coming venture.
The entry list is a splendid one, all things considered It is
bonafide. No padding and no entries except for competition
The dogs averaged better than laBt year, and there is beside
a tine entry of poultry and pigeons. Everybody should go
to the dog show at the Mechanic's Pavilion, every night dur-
ing its continuance. Children should be taken during the
day time and often. The ghpw 13 a grand educator,

Minding the good word of the bebt of books, I made exem-
plary devotion last week in going a-fishing. Trout was in
my fancy, and Glen Ellen my destination. Of the Apostles,
Peter was foremost; at Glen Ellen is mine host Peters, of the
Mervyn House, thoroughest of fishermen, expert with rod,
quick to drop the instant line and cast the fly just where it
will do the most good to ensnare the shiner and provide the
feast. There was touting and trouting. For two hundred
yards up and down Sonoma creek, as it courses by the hotel,
smooth running and boisterously breaking, now gliding and
murmuring alung over pebbly bottom, and anon breaking
and roaring over graduated cataracts and pouring down the
rocky ob-tructions with delighting sport, Host Peters did the
earnest fishing and I looked on to tnjoy. You see, the trout
are acquainted with him and know the foolishness of fighting
off. They just hook on, and pass from the ripple and the
pool to the pan aau the table. Gutsts of the Mervyn must
be treated. It is fruit and fish, and Peleis' wills as he fills
every stuffer to his quantum, ad libitum,. Sptckled beautiesin
the silver, from a lialf pound ton pound and a half — and the
scales allow another fisu to make weight on every plate at
every meal, and it is agreed, with good Qzaak Walton, that
"this dish is Loo good for any but anglers or very honest men."
Like Bngaoious diaweis at poker, you fill to eatiefaction— but
right away you don't feel like play, for the rule of Peters is:
abide ye here and eujjy the ohase. Outside on his capacious
shady porch are the usual "cheers" uf post-prandial comfort-
ableness. Take a rest, or go weigh.

In the choBen phrase of the Private Secretary, "do you
know" that in Sonama creek, at Glen Ellen, right near Peters'
Hotel Mervyn, is a delightful trouting place? Let me notify
you of the kind who go there. It is yet early in the season,
but the early bng catches the cr codile, or words to that
effect. The keen anglers of San Francisco are among them.
Names would be invidiouB— distinctions of rank; ranklers not
among the rankers. Sensible men, they are accompanied by
their wives; they who hope to be accounted sensible pray
their sweethbartB to accompany them. Mothers and mothers-
in-iaw, in fond and hopeful humor, congregate and roam in
the fields and in their conversation. Children catch trout
and catch on. Every age is pleased, every condition suited.
The sportive trout leap to the fly, and there is bait for all.

Glen Ellen is prettily named. Ellen, the fair boru of the
resident house of Stuart, suggested the surname, and the
topography of the place a prenomen. It is a region of high
hills and declivitous ravine*, of gentle slopes and lovely
meads, forest and lowland, through which Sonoma creek
courses in graceful flow with occasional sharp turnings. The
creek, with head waters in the divides, tortuously pursues its
way to the greater waters of the bay, and there discharges
its never ceasing volume. It is the resort of salmon, the
chosen stream of trout, the breeding place of many species
which multiply in waters.

Protection is now much needed to the saving of the fish.
The State has Fish Commissioners. The prayer in Sonoma
is, O, that they were even as the visits of angels — only a few,
if far between. They come never or to no effect. One who
has dwelt for tan years on Sonoma creek, has never seen a
Fish Commissioner, save that he came a fishing for the sport
alone. He commissioned not at all. Fish are killed or
slaughtered out of beason. The dynamiters are at work; ex-
plosives do the injury. Unlawful fishing is ruthlessly car-
ried on. The Fish Commissioners takes no heed. There is
a most faulty ladder at the La Motte dam. An able bodied
fish cannot ascend it. The dam itself is worse than useless
— provocative of a continental of the similar sounding ad-
jective. The Commissions appear ditto in the scale. It is
Boaly all around.

Now is the time for good trout fishing. The late rains have
swelled the streams, the more recent dry weather has clarified
them, and the fish are sportful, quick at the fly, nimble
to the angler, ready for the rod. Give all a chance. Comfort
the soul of the city man by the expectation, warranted sure,
of a good basket, and his prayers will go up. Eecoil upon
the spoiler with explosives tne consequences of his murdeiouB
acts by penitential measures, and he will desist. Let the
punishment fit the offense. The true angler will catch
trout; the transgressor will catch his exemplary fill. There
is a God in Israel. There should be proof of it in Sonama
creek, at Ulen Ellen, and everywhere else in California, by
the fish Commissioners. The way to do a given thing is to

do it J. O'M.

But two acts relating to fish and game passed by the last
legislature have become laws. That relating to game is as
follows:

"Section 1. The State Board of Fish Commissioners is
hereby authorized to purchase for the purposes of propaga-
tion, import into this State, and distribute to such places
within this State, as may in their judgment be best suitable
for the same, such game birds as they may be able to secure,
including wild turkeys, prairie chickens, bob-white quail,
pheasants, grouBe, skylarks, and others valuable as game
birds.

Sec. 2. For the purposes of this Act the sum of two thou-
sand dollars is hereby appropriated out of any money in the
State Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be used in the
discretion of the State Board of Fish Commissioners, who are
hereby authorized to draw the whole or any portion of said
money; but after expenditure, itemized bills of expense shall
be submitted for the money expended.

Sec. 3. The Controller Bhall draw bis warrant on the
requisition of said Board of Fish Commissioners for the
whole or any portion of said appropriation, and the Treas-
urer shall pay the same.

Sec. 4. Any person who shall, within this State, prior to
the first day of January, eighteen hundred and ninety-five,
shoot, trap, kill, or otherwise destroy any bird mentioned in
section one of this Act, is guilty of a misdemeanor, and the
shooting, trapping, Killing, or otherwise destroying of each
of said birds shall be a separate offense.

Sec. 5. This Act shall take effect and be in force on and
after its passage."

The new law as to fish is as follows;

"Section 1. Section six hundred and thirty-five of fcaid
Penal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

635. Evtry person who places or allows to pass into any
of the waters of this Stale any lime, gas, tar, cocculus indicus,
sawdust, or any substance deleterious to fish, is guilty of a
misdemeanor. And every person who uses any poisonous
or explosive substances for the purpose of taking or destroy-
ing fish is guilty of misdemeanor. Any person who shall
catch, take or carry away any trout or other fish from any
stream, pood or reservoir, belonging to aoy person or cor-
poration, without the consent of the owner thereof, which
hatching therein, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect on and after the first
day of September, eighteen hundred and eighty -nine."

The Fiih Commission was authorized to sell tie iteam
launch Gov. Stoneman, but has been unable to do so.

ATHLETICS.

Offlicial Weights.

Leader Walter A. Scott, of the Olympic Club kindly sends
the exact weights of the winners in the recent boxing tour-
nament:

tached.

Heavy— J. Kitchen. Jr., 168 pounds, first prize, Acme

A curiously characteristic publication drifted to our table
the other day, entitled "San Francisoo Sporting Life," a
weekly chronicle of things athletic in and about this city, by
Geo. A. Dall & Co. A neatly gotten up, breezily written,
carefully edited, and in every way attractive little newspaper.
Its projectors, writers, editors, type-setters and pressmen
are Messrs. Georgs A. Dail and Joe M, Mansfield, the former
a "strong man" and the latter the best tumbler on the Coast,
and Mr. Jim Stack, also a prominent athlete. Both are old-
time athletes, have innumerable friends, and we hope will
reach the highest success with their bantling the "Sporting
Life."

I permanent cure where firing failed, although performed by one of

Alexander's Record, 1:31 1-4:

DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
mane and tail ; stands !5-"ii' bands high ; weighs
1,200 pounds, and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of f :28,S'i and when
four veai-B old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of2:26Jtf. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been driven a last half in 1:0'.
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
through tbe speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to his offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world'B record of 2:14.
Rosle Mc, as a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks: baa
a record of 2;20¥. R.H.Newton's colt, with very little
ha- dling, paced a 2 -.16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2 IS to 2:20. Considering
that Al -lander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bied mare— bis colts show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
strvice, he is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

Ballot Box, Trade Dollar, Flood. Duchees of Norfolk!
Lou Kpencer.the Great Emperor of Norfolk, ami many
others, Marion's sire, Malcolm, was one of the first
horsee to bring Bonnie Scotland into notice. Through
the Maggie Mitchell cross comes the blood of two of
the mont celebrated race mares of their day. Charmer
and Betsy Malone. The combined speed of these preat
families seem to be concentrated in the get of Norfolk
and Marlon, as is instanced in tlie case of the Em-
peror of Norfolk, who is a full brother to the Prince
of Norfolk,

The blood lines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a single cross that lias
not been celebrated for speed unit endurance, and It
Is fair to assume that th«* get of this stallion will show
equally well ■* ith those of past genertitlona.

OIjOVIS, 4000.

The property of S. N. Straube, Esq., Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, Fresno, Cal.

How fast can he trot? is a question that is frequently
ashed bv ttie owners of brood iuares when they make in-
quiries about stallions, and because he has alow record, that,
in the minds of niaDy, is all sufficient. There are other con-
siderations to be thought of, however, as Electioneer has no
record, and there are many prominent stallions who are
great sireB and yet have no mark to their nameR. In this
category can be place, Clovis, of wboni wn excellent repre-
sentation is giveu above. When only three years of age he
conld show better than 2:30, but an accident caused him to
bo thrown out of training, and he has never had a chance

since. Last year, after the season was over, he showed a
quarter in 35 seconds-, and if properly prepared should be
able to trot out a full mile in 2:20. Clovis is seven years old,
a beautiful black, 16.} hands high, and weighs 1260 pounds.
His sire is the celebrated Rnltan, 2:2-1, who is also the sire of
Stamboul, 2:14{. Ruby 2:10], and fifteen others with records
better than 2:30. The dam of CloviB in Sweetbriar by Thorn-
dale 2.22*. sire of Edwin Thome 2:164, Daisy Dale 2:19, M.y
Thoine 2:22; second dnni Ulster Qneeu, dam of Voluier2:22,
she being by Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Sultan was by The

Moor, sire of Beautiful Bells, the greatest brood mare of the
age. The dam of Sultan was Sultana by Deliionico, etc.
Mr. Straube has a magnificent place near Frosno, and has
entered into the business with the vim of an enthusiast. In
addition to Clovis, he owns Pasha and Apex, pictures of
whom will appear in the next two Issoes of the Breeder
and Sportsman. On the farm are seventy-live brood mares,
all of them first-class, and of the very best blood in Amerio

SacrameDto Races.

By our Special Couiiuiss loner.
THURSDAY.

Officers of the day: Judges, J. W. Wilson, E. S. Petrie and
Chris Green; starter, Worth Ober.

Thursday afternoon, with a splendid programme and beau-
tiful weather ought to have enticed a large crowd, but the
Dleasure-seeking population did not turn out, and though
there was a marked increase in the attendance, they were all
raciu° people, not mere sight Beers. Possibly the detri-
mental reports flying around about Wednesday's races may
have been the cause, but anyway the general public stayed

The races were productive of some of the best finishes ever
Been on a track, Ed McGinnis winning by the shortest of
heads while in the repeat the first two heats were only won
on the post, i'he pool selling was very good and had there
only been a couple of books some heavy betting would have
been done, as it was the pool sellers were worked to death.
The starting was good whtn they did get off, but really it
was too trying for every one's patience, an hour and three-
quarters being devoted* to the start in the Lessee's stakes.

Five horses faced the starter in the first race of one and
onequar.er miles, and were delayed for half an hour at the
post, principally by Moses B. who seemed anxious to bolt.
Eventually Moses B. got well away and at once took the rails
with Wild Oats at his girth and Joe Hoge close up. Passing
the stand Moses, Hoge and Wild Oats were head and head
with the stable companions a length behind, going round the
torn Moses was steadied, and at the first quarter was a length
behind the leaders Wild Oats and Hoge, the stable still last a
length further in the rear, Hoge showed the way round the
upper turn and at the half mile pole in 1:17 was a neck in front
of Wild Oats with McGinnis closing up on Moses who was
only a length behind the leaders, Welcome two and a half
lengths behind; they turned into the straight passing the
three-quarter pole in 1:45$ in the same order with Welcome
jive leogths behind, and the four leaders closing up they
made a pretty race home. A furlong from home it looked
like Moses B.'s race, but Munroe used the whip and the
white-faced chestnat swerved across the track injuring Wild
Oats' chance, and letting McGinnis up, who ran Moses a
severe punishing race to the wire, just wiuning in the last
stride by the shortest of heads, mainly owing to Cook's mas-
terly finish. Moses who finished none too gamely was a
length and a half in front of Wild Oats, with Joe Hoge close
up fourth and Welcome only half a length behind fifth com-
ing fast.

SUMMARY.

Capital Prize Stake for all ages. $50 entrance, half forfeit, 5200

In the Lessee Stakes for three-year-olds, there were eigh'-
starters. and Flood Tide readily sold first choice all through.
Luukuow who ran in Albert's colors was eecoo'l choice
probably on the strength of Louis P's runnings" Whatever
(3 had was ruined by the long delay at
the post in which he was worked to death, while Floo.1 Tide
was as steady as a rook. First oue and then another spoilt the
Mart while Larline whenever she did get off, of course re-
fused to return. After an hour and three-quarters had been
wasted, they were ail sent off .nearly even. Lucknow and
Spencer at once went to the front and led round the turn,
wtiere Songstress ran into Glen Ellen cutting her down, and
Glen Ellen in tarn knocked Reward against the rails. When
the quarter was reached Liucknow was two lengths in front
of Duke Spencer with Flood Tide closing up third just in
front of Songstress and Glen Ellen, Lurline a bad last. Going
ruund the turn Flood Tide worked his way up and at the
half in 52$ was just in front of Lucknow with Spencer third,
Songstress fourth and Glen Ellen fifth. Turning into the
straight Flood Tide drew a little away while Lucknow
dropped back beaten and Songstress and Glen Ellen were
two lengths and a half in front of Keward. The race was
now over as Flood Tide inoreased his lead and romped home
four lengths in front of Songstress who beat Keward who had
come fast down the stretch by a length, Gllen Ellen fourth a
length behind, Du Be Spencer and Bessie ShaDnon fifth and
Lurline last all the way.

SUMMARY.
Lessee Stakes— For three year-olds; $25 entrance, $15 forfeit, $200

The seven furlongs repeat brought four starters and pools
sold briskly, with Hello first choice at £80 and Lady Helen
second at $35, while G. W. brought 515 and Longshot $11.
There was very little delay and the four horses were sent off
with Longshot and G. "W. a length in froiit of Lady Helen.

G. W. was steadied going round the turn and Lady Helen
and Longshot led by a length past the half mile pole,
Hello two lengths in the rear. Turning into the straight G.
W. passed Lady Helen and Hello close np and at the fur-
long pole Loogsbot was just clear of Hello and G. W. both
coming fast Lady Helen cloae up. Hello then went to the
front looking all over a winner until G. W. hard ridden
challenged him at the enclosure after a desperate finish beat
him by a short head, LoDgshot two lengths behind, third, jubt
in front of Lady Helan. Time, 1:30.

Mutuals paid $61.15.

Pool-selling was very lively on the second heat, Lady
Helen settling down into a big tavorite at $40, with G. W.
brioging $2G and the field $14.

G. W,, who was very fractions at the post, being a head-
strong, ill-mannered brute, delayed the start until a quarter
past six, and when the flag fell was two lengths behind the
'.eaders. At the quarter pole, Lady Helen running easy, was
leading Hello and Longshot two lengths, G. W. two lengths
further in the rear. Hello closed the gap to half a length at
the half mile, with G. W. coming fast, and a« tbey turned
into the straight, Lady Helen was half a length in front of
Hello, and G. W. and Longshot a length and a half behind.
Hslf way down the straight G. W. joined the leaders, and
they raced away from Longbhot, all three riding hard, and
after a severe punishing race all round, Narvice finishing
brilliantly on Lady Helen, won by half a head; same between

second and third (Hello third), Longshot, four lengths back,
last. Time, 1:29*. Mutuals paid $9.55.

G. W. now sold favorite, fetching S23 to $20 for Lady
Helen, and finally at $25 to Lady H. $15.

At the second attempt the pair were sent off, with Lady
Helen a length in front until the quarter pole was reached,
when they were head and head; Lady Helen, on the inside,
just kept her head in front round the turn and into the
straight, where Dennison sat down and rode G. W., but to
no purpose, for the filly gradually drew away and won easily
by five lengths. Time, 1:31. Mutuals paid, $13.50.

FOURTH DAY.

Officers of the day: J. W. Wilson, Chris Green aDd Ben
Simmons. Timers: Eli Dennison and Al Leach.

Friday waB by far the beBt day of the meeting as far as the
weather was concerned, for it was just warm enough without
being hot and very little wind to blow the dust. The pro-
gramme consisted of three trotting and pacing races, which
owing to the vexatious delays were not got through until
half past seven. Backers of the favorites were BucceBsful in
every instance, but aB usual there was a big kick in two out
of the three events. In the two-year-old race Magister won
the first heat, ind in the second the bell was tapped with
Magister all tangled up, pulled almost into a walk. When
he did settle down to work the rest were 100 yardB in front
and although he came very fast down the home stretch he
was shut out and the judges distanced him. It would have
been much more satisfactory to all if they had not done so,
as it was their fault entirely, the start being a very bad one.
In the special a complaint waB made after the third heat that
John Williams waB not trying to win with Skelton, and it
had that kind of a look, for the gray always came very fast at
the finish and could certainly have made a bettei tight. The
Judges warned Williams but allowed him to drive, and Thap-
sin again won, although the grey caught him at the half and
then seemed to be steadied. Palo Alto's Emeline easily
obtained a record of 2:27£, which could have been lowered a
couple of seconds had there been anything to push her.
Distance was waived as the rest declined to start unless it
were so. The winner, a nice bright bay, dam by a thorough-
bred horse, with a smooth, easy way of going, was well
handled by Laird, who drove Marion another Palo Alto mare
in the last race, and though she was close op in the last heat

Maduro had the pole and after scoring up for about fifteen
minutes they were got off with Maduro slightly in front, but
breaking immediately they all passed him and Ouida S.
trotting well led Emeline three lengths at the quarter, with
*Maduro last four lengths behind. Going up the back stretch
Emeline trotting steadily closed on Ouida S. and carried her
off her feet going round the turn a length in front which was
increased to two at the half in 1:19 with Blaine three lengths
behind Ouida. Emeline now warmed to her work and trot-
ting grandly down the home stretch won by 90 yds., going

Ouida was too slow for the rest in scoring up and kept
them at ihe post a long time. "When they were sent off
Jim Blaine was a length and a half in front. All but Maduro
broke before the first turn was reached and at the eighth pole
Maduro led Emeline (who had caught quickly) by a length,
the other pair three lengths behind.

The same order was maintained past the quarter. At the
three furlongs Emeline drew up to Maduro and trotting in
fine style opened a gap of three lengths at the half. Maduro
being ten lengths in front of the other two. Emeiine now
trotted away from the rest and going wide to escape the
heavy going led ten lengths when fairly in the straight jog-
gling hume an easy winner by five lengths. Maduro broke
badly at the five furlongs, the others gradually closing up,
and the black broke again at the head of the stretch. The
three were about level and kept even until a furiong from
home where Jim Blaine went to pieces but catching at once
joined the other two all breaking again at the drawgate.
Blaine catching first beat Maduro a length for second place,
Ouida S. two lengths behind was last. Time, 2:37^.

Mutuals — Emeline barred, paid $16.60.

THIRD HEAT.

After very little scoring Maduro started out in front,
breaking at once. Etneline, going in her best form, trotted
clean away from the field, leading Blaine five lenglhs at the
quarter, Ouida R. a length behind. At the. half in 1:15,
Emeline waB leading seven lengths. Ouida S. having passed
Blaine at the turu was second, two leDgths in front of him at
the half, Maduro beaten off.

Emeline was driven right out for a record, and trotted in
magnificent style to the draw-gate, where she skipped, but
caught at once and won by 120" yards. Blaine, despite two
breaks, caught Ouida at the seven furlongs but went up
again, and Ouida finished second a length and a half in front
of Blaine, Maduro a bad last. Time, 2:27$.

Auction pools: Linnett $30, King $11, Magister $6, Cameo

Linnett, a hot favorite, a nice looking racy bay mare wear-
ing a hood and hobbles tj prevent her from running, waB
first out, the others following shortly after. Magister had
the pole, with Linnett on the extreme outside, they were sent
off after about twenty minutes delay, with Magister and Lin-
nett in front. At the furlong pole Magister, and Linnet trot-
ting evenly, were a length in front of the King, who, in turn,
was two lengths in front of Cameo, who had broken badly.
Magister showed down a little, aod Linnet led Silver King a
length at the quarter, Magister two lengths behind. Silver
King broke just before the turn and was passed by MagiBter,
who, at the half, was five lengths behind Linnet; King a
length behind, and Cameo beaten off.

Linnet retained her advantage past the five furlong pole,
where Magister and King were level. King, breaking going
round the turn, caught handily and closed up on Linnet, and
at the seven furlong pole there was only three lengths between
firBt and third, but King breaking again, spoilt his chance,
while MagiBter, taking the whip like an old timer, caught
Linnett inside tbe draw-gate and won by a leogtb, Silver King
three lengths further back, and Cameo, who had been run-
ning for the last quarter, iust saved his distance. Time,

SECOND HEAT.

Auction pools: Field $30, Linnett $12, King $8. Later-

The colts scored several times and the bell was tapped with
Magister breaking badly, pulled almost to a walk. Linnett
going steadily led at the furlong six lengths, and at the
quarter was seven in front of Silver King, who in turn was
seven in front of Cameo, with MagiBter a long way in the
Tear. They kept the same positions to the finish, Linnet
sent right on until eased, winning by thirty yards from
Silver King, with Cameo who had been hitching and briak-
ing all the way just inside, and Magister trotting very fast
just outside the distance. Time, 2:49.

It was evident that Thapsin was not out for the heat as
Doc was a hot favorite in the mutuels. Doc had tho pole,
Thapsin next and Marion outside. After twenty minutes
scoring Doc and Marion were sent off a length in front. The
mare broke before the turu was reached, Doc pacing on two
lengths in front of Thapsin who was a length in front of
Skelton. Before the quarter was reached Marion has passed
Skelton and taken third pla e, but breaking again was a
length behind Thapsin and Skelton, with Doc leading two
lengths at the half. They tnrned into the home stretch with
Doo going very steadily two lengths in front, Marion on tbe
inside just level with Skelton a length in front of Thansin
who was going easily. Skelton pacing fast closed on Doc,
Ober and Williams both driving hard, were level a furlong

With very little time wasted in scoring, Marion went off

turn and led past the furlong by one length, Marion second
a length in front of Doc with Skelton three lengths behind.
Marvin again broke aud at the first quarter was three lengths
Thapsin and Doe who were level, Skelton six lengths behind
Marion. The same order was maintained round the upper
turn and past the half mile post when Thapsin was half a
length in front of Doc, and going fast led two lengths into
the straight, Doc second and the grey third, conning at a good
gait. Half way down the stretch, Skelton passed Doc and
followed Thapsin home a length in the rear, with Doc five
lengths off, just clear off Marion. Time, 2:27.

TIIIBD HEAT.

Auction pools— Thapsin, 30; Doc, 20; Field, 10.

A tremendous time was wasted scoring for the heat and it
was half past six when they were despatched with Marion
slightly in front of Thapsin, who passed her going round the
first turn and led past the quarter by a Ieugth, Marion second
a length in front of Doc with Skelton four lengths behind
the latter. Marion broke twice before the half was reached
with Thapsin two lengths in front of her, Doc two lengths
behind, third, and Skelton four lengths further back. Thap-
sin increased his lead to three lengths at the three-quarters,
the others all together, Skelton coming like a whirlwind.
Doc was eased and Marion and Skelton followed Thapsin to
the furlong pole where Skelton passed Marion and followed
Thapsin under the wire a length behind, and half a length
in front of Marion, Doc fovty yards away. Time 2:27.

Mutoals paid S 55.

FOURTH HEAT.

Williams was called to the stand and warned. They
again scored for a long lim.-. it being half past seven when
they were given the word with Marion and Thapsin in front,
Skelton last. Marion and Thapsin went round the turn and
past the qnarter level, with Skelton m\ lengths behind and
Doc six further baok. Marion trotting beautifully led past
the three furlongs a neck in front of Thapsin, with Skelton
paining slowly and Doc dropping back. They went round
the turn in the Bame order, and Skelton coming fast caught
Thapsin at the half, where Marion led the pair a short half
length and all tbrf e kept together for a lurlong, when the
mare broke and Skelton stopped with her, Thapsin draw-
ing away won by two lengths. Skelton beating Marion (who
broke twice in the stretch) by a head, with Doc a bad last.
Time 2:30.

ant one in every reaped, the public turning out better limn

programme, an excellent one in every respect, being ran
on time, while the judging gave every satisfaction, Messrs.
"Wilson and Green being assisted by Br. Aby, the welt known
manager of the Langtry Farm in Lake Co. Worth Ober, too,
seemed to rise to the occasion, and sent his charges off with-
out any of the vexations delays that he had on the preceding
days.

The first race was a moral certainty for Rettie B., who,
on the strength of her fast work earlier in the week, was
backed as thongh the race was over. The second was a very
good betting race, there being a pile of money behind each,
thongh Moses E., Jackson and Welcome had the strongest
following. White Cloud and Bessie Shannon, selling as a
field, proved third and first, Bessie winniDg easily. In tbe
beaten three-year-old race, Hoge, who sold second choice to
G. W., won cleverly, G. W,, the favorite, dying away after
six furlongs.

In the other race McGinnis was made a strong first choice
in the pools until the last few, when Mozart threatened to
usurp the position of favorite, while Moses B., who was
Btarted for the second time, sold very low. McGinnis made
all the running, winning handily by two lengths a dead heat
for second, though it seemed as though Moses B. just got it
by a nose.

The authorities declined to have anything to do with the
match rach, and it seemed wise of them, oonBideriag that tbe
two-year-old was brought up by Stover.

The first race on the card (for two-year-olds) only had two
starters, and Kettie B., having worked very well a few days
previous, was made a hot favorite. They were sent off at
the seoond attempt, with Alice in front, and Casey sendiDg
her right along soon had a two lengths lead, which waB
reduced to one at the half-mile post, and to half a length in
the next furlong, and then Kettie B , running easily, passed
Alice, and, Casey after a vigorous effort, gave up the straggle,
the favorite winning in a big gallop by six lengths.

SUMMARY.

To the Public.

The stock advertised by me in last isBue of Breeder and
Sportsman, were held and accumulated by me through the
assistance of friends, for the last ten years. The mare, young
Miami, I bought from the late Bill Hall, of Santa Clara, in
1875, then a yearling past, for a good round figure. I have
clang to her through might and main, but now she haB to go
with five of her fillies and one stud colt. The colts I have
bred with an eye single to their retaining the.t rotting instinct,
with sufficient backing up to enable them to stay in a contest
until the service was over. Trotters are born, not made;
and I am satisfied if those colts fall into the hands of an
artist, ihey will add to his fame, and bring fortune to their
owner. The two blaok fillies offered in this lot I did not
raise, but have the breeders' sworn certificate as to their
breeding. Atlamont who sired one, and the dam of the other
all horsemen know, as he trotted at Bay District, two years
ago, to wagon in 2:26f, which was not the measure of his
speed. Kieber, the sire of the dam of one and Bire of the sire
of the other, was considered by horsemen to be one of the
greatest stallions living He trotttd in a race, a half in 16£
with heavy track, showed a mile in 2:16 private, and came to
San Francisco with a record of 2:27&, willing to meet all
comers for the championship; got pneumonia on the steamer
coming down from Oregon, and died in this city about two
years ago, a great loss to this country.

The brown horse offered is out of Lady Hercules, the dam
of Arab, is 12 years old; was foaled on Corbett's Place, San
Mateo, (Howard Kanch). The first colt she ever had the bill
shows bred to Irvington Straight but whether he or the teaser
served the mare I refer the public to Coibett. I have held
on to him, hoping I would be able to have him worked, as
he has gait and breeding enough to trot as fast as any horse
living. He has not had barneps on for ten years. This sale
is absolute on account of exhausted credits and cracked
friendship. 3t* F. S. Malone.

a length in front with Moses B. and Jon Jon running head
and head second, Whiteclcud just clear of Welcome and

The OwnerB Handicap, one and one-sixteenth miles
brought three horses out, of whom Moses B. had already
one race in him. McGinnis was made a strong favorite un-
til the last few proofs when Mozart ran him a close race for
choice.

Directly the flag dropped, McGinnis went to the front and
led past the stand, three-qnarters of a length in front of
Mozart with Moses a length in the rear. The favorite led at
the quarter pole by two lengths, with Moses B. three-qnarters
of a length behind Mozart. The same order was kept around
the turn and past the half mile two lengths separating first
and second and second and third. Moses B. under persua-
sion joined Mozart going round the List turn, and at the head
of the stretch, McGTinnis running wide to escape the heavy
going was two lengths in front, with the others in the deep
ground close to the rails. McGinnis kept his advantage
winning cleverly by two and a half lengths a dead heat for
second place.

La Siesta.

The Home oi" the Holsteln.

Taking advantage of the auction held last Saturday by Mr.
Frank H. Burke at his Menlo Park farm, about three and a
half miles from the station, we attended the sale, and at the
same time inspected his farm and stock. EroB and his harem
were absent at the San Jose track, bo that we were unable to
see his Nutwood brood mares or spring, crop of Eros and
Woodnut colts, the premier stallion now on the ranch being
the imported Cleveland bay, Ben Hur, winner of the medal
at the San Jose exhibition last year. The ranch proper con-
sists of three hundred and sixty acres of rolling land sloping
gently toward the East, and fronting on the Santa Cruz turn-
pike and the San Francisco creek for about a mile. The soil
is rather light, friable loam, and quite deep, with a few
streaks of adobe. The front of the ranch is sown to rye and
vetches, the rye being cropped three times by his Holsteins
and cat twice for green feed this year, a heavy crop
being now on the ground. At the same time was sown what
is seldom used in this country, vetches, which, upon the
last crop being takea offfor bonnet-straw, will give good feed
until the winter rains come again. The entire front of the
ranch close to the road is fringed with shade trees, alternate
mountain maple and poplar. Back from the flat the ground
iB laid off into prune, apricot and peach trees, the oldest
being two years. His preference seems to be for French
prunes, of which he has pot out four thousand, and expects
to double the amount next spring.

The ranch is laid out into fields of about sixty acres each,
and this year is entirely lown to black oata, though at the
Bame time burr-clover and mesqnite were sown with Italian
rye-grass for summer feed in audition to the stubble after
the hay is taken off. Where there are no streams, water is
piped to every field from springs giving about six thousand
gallons a day, and as they are situated on the highest portion
of the ranch the water is brought to the house, barns and cor-
rals under sufficient force to throw water over tbe tops of
all the buildings. The position of the ranch for view of the
bay and accessibility to San Francisco could not be improved,
though the fruit will hardly command the price that it would
in earlier localities. The horse and work barns are large,
and commodious, and fitted up with overhead hay-carrierB
and platform scales. The granary reminds us very much of
Eastern barns from being built into the side of a bill, giving
access for teams to the upper stories, and also tbe extremely
heavy timbers used in its construction, so different from the
ordinary rflake shifts of the California farmer. The cattle
barn iB jastly considered one of the finest on tbe coast, and
anyone going into the dairy business on a laTge scale would
be well repaid by a visit to it before building. It ie one of
the largest, roomiest and most commodious affairs of the
kind we have ever seen, with accommodation for eighty head
of cattle and five hundred tons of bay. 411 the improve-
ments show that Mr. Burke is in the cattle and horse busi-
ness to stay. Among the notable prize-winning cattle we
noticed the Sweepstake balls at the last State Fair, the Gold
Medal herd of Fresno laBt year, the winning herd at the
Nevada State Fair the same season, besides individuals from
the herds shown at Stockton and San Jose.

The auction was fairly attended, but prices realized by no
means high; everything offered was sold, the stock consisting
mostly of large draught mares and their produce and Polled
Angus cattle, Mr. Burke deciding not to breed any more of
tnis class of stock, considering that the profits were not
sufficient to pay the interest on Buch high-priced land. Here-
after he will devote the ranch entirely to the raising of trot-
ting hors'8, Holfitein cattle and fruit, not forgetting his pete,
tbe Berkshire swine.

Before leaving we paid a visit to his recently erected house,
which would compare favorably with any of the Pacifio
Heights residences, but Beemingly supplied with every con-
venience and luxury, and he evidently has great faith in
future possibilities, as the house, besides being supplied with
heaters, has already gas-pipes and wires for electric lighting.
As we were swiftly carried homeward on the cars we could
not help thinking that Mr. Burke, having in the Electioneer
stallion EroB (oat of the dam of the great four-year-old Sally
Benton), the stallion whose produce at the last Stanford Bale
held in New York sold for $2,200 a Lead — a higher average
than was obtained for the produce of Electioneer himself — in
his grand Holatein bulls, winners of sweepstakes and finst
prizes in two States last season, California and Nevada, bis
large number of Nutwood brood-mareB, and his beautiful mid
valuable ranoh, has as much aB any one man could wiBh for
in this world.

This evening the second show given by the Pacific Kennel
Club closes at the Mechanics' Pavilion. The show has been
unexceptionable in every respect, both in the dog department
and in thoBe set apart for poultry and pigeons. President
Bainon E. Wilson has been constant in attendance, and his
thorough understanding of all the needs and details of the
show has enabled him to meet all emergencies and decide all
questions at once, and so justly as to prevent friction and
bickerings. The committees for each day were faithful and
skilful in securing the carefnl performance of duties by all
attendants. The judge, Mr. William Graham, proved him-
Belf not only a keen judge of the non-sporting breeds, but
also a thoroughly sound and good judge of the Bporting
classes. His work was done carefully, without ostentation,
and very quickly. Some of his judgments surprised local
quid mines, particularly in the pointer and English setter
classes, in which he pat back some dogs which were given
high place by Mr. Davidson, who judged last year. Not one
of Mj. Graham's awards in the classes mentioned can be
excepted to by any bat prejudiced or incompetent persons.
In the non-sporting classes no one in America can presume
so much as to set up an opinion adverse to that enunciated
by the keen little Irishman. His awards will remain the
standard in all of the breeds shown before him for many a
year, and rightly. His coming to San Francisco was the
beat thing that has ever occurred in a doggy way. He is so
evidently a close judge, and is so free from any tricks and
unfairness, as to establish confidence at once.

Superintendent E. H. Williams did very well in his irksome
office. He had some difficulty in getting good attendants,
but after the first day kept everything running smoothly.
Every dog presented for admittance was examined by the
veterinarian, Dr. Bowhill, a perfectly competent man, to who
also may be credited the freedom from foulness and ordors.
There was some delay in opening the show because the con-
tractor for the benching was dilatory in his part of the work.
Judging of the dogs did not begin until 1 o'clock on Wednes-
day, but after it did begin, was done expeditiously, being
finished by 7 p. iu.

Mr. H. R. Brown acted aB steward, and had the classes
promptly on hand, being effectively assisted by Mr. Clarence
A. Haight, President Wilson, Mr. William Schreiber and
Secretary WatBon, the latter remaining in attendance all day
and during the evening.

The attendance on the first day was not satisfactory, but
improved on the other dayj.

In the poultry annex the show is said to have been the
best ever made" in the State. The judges, Messrs. H. F.
Whitman for pigeons and Chas. K. Harker for poultry, were
both accomplished fanciers, and their awards were received
■without dissent. The hour of going to press prevents more
than a cursory notice, and the publication of the awards in
tbe dor* ^lasses. The winners of specials and the Poultry
and Pigeon awards will be published next week.

Typical Dogs.

It 15 with especial pleasure that the Breeder and Sports-
man presents to its readers this week a few portraits of dogs
of more than local note. The faot that it is bench show
week has naturally aroused general interest in dogs, and
everything incident to them. The Mechanics Pavilion has
presented speoimens in about ninety classes, the breeds on
exhibition numbering nearly forty.

None but those who have resided for ten or more years in
Sau Francisco and studied the six bench shows given here
can aprjreoiate the wonderful growth in knowledge and appre-
ciation of dogs evidenced by the show of this week. Not a
weed in the show, and a great many fair dcgs, with a good
many very good ones, must be the opinion of those who have
attended. The specimens of which portraits are presented
have been selected arbitrarily, but all of them are on exhibi-
tion in the dog show bnt one, and that one if shown would
go near to sweeping the bench. The dogs pictured have
been chosen because they are quite as good in their various
breedB as any in the State. All of them are unexoeptionabiy
bred, and the pictures well attest the skill of that veteran
limner of dogs, Mr. E. Wvttenbach, whose drawings in vari-
ous issues of this paper during the six years last passed have
attracted general attention and universal praise. No invidi-
ous distinction is intended in placing certain of the pictures
before others, but the place of honor may fairly be given to
the Irish red setter Lady Elcho T.

>4&4S£ \ § ggggt

I.ADY ELCHO T.

Lady Elcho T*, registered at No. 6,451, American Kennel
Club Stud Book, and benched at stall No. 130 in the present
show, has been pronounced by all judges who have examined
her to be of the very highest quality and form as an Irish set-
ter. She has all the strength of character which distinguishes
the breed, and is so finely finished, as to entitle her to record
as the beBt specimen of the breed in Amerioa. Her color is
right, and if the dog as she appears is firmly fixed in the mem-
ory, those who see her will have a standard by which to judge
otfier specimens of like blood. Lady Elcho T. was bred by a
noted fancier of Irish setters, Dr. Wm. Jarvis, of Claremonb
N. H., was whelped on April 3d, 1885, and owns as sire the
most famous Irish setter alive, Champion Elcho. Her dam also
of great note as a prize winner, was Champion Noreen. The
owner of Lady is Mr. A. B, Truman of San Francisoo, an en-
thusiastic fancier of red setters and a most successful breeder.
Lady has invariably been successful on the bench, having
won 1st, in the open class for Irish setter bitches, and two
special prizes at the San Francisco show of 1887; 1st and
special for best setter of any breed or sex, special for best
Irish setter, and three other specials at the Pacific Kennel
Club Show, in 1888. She is a fine field performer and a
gentle, pleasant animal to have about.

As much opposed to the first dog picture in all but love
for its owner, is the second dog shown, Mrs. J. K. Newton's
fox terrier dog

TEDDY.

Teddy, benched in the present show at No. 18S, is a most
likely specimen of a breed that is fast pushing its way into
recognition and popularity. Bright, alert, handsome, game
and loveable, the fox terrier is of all dogs to be owned by a
city resident the one beBt suited. No better house-guard oan
he found, and no cleaner pet. Teddy was imported from
Australia by Mrs. Newtou. and was bred by Mr. Hamilton, a
chemist of Sydney, N. S. W , out of a fine bitch imported by
him from Eogland. Mr. Hamilton's fancy runs to fox ter-
riers, of wbich he breeds very many, using only the best
attainable stud dogs, and nowhere in the world are fox ter-
riers more carefully bred than in Australia. Mr. Hamilton
is well known as an exhibitor, but does not course hie ter-
riers. The sire of Teddy belongs to Ben Freeman, a noted
Boniface of Sydyey, who never owns less than eight or ten
good terriers with which he makes life bnrdeusome to rabbitB
..nd other vermin about Sydney. Teddy weighs sixteen
pouodp, is white, with black and tan points, is cleanly built
on punishing lineB, is a fine ratter and a most promising sire.

Teddy is by no means ridiculous, indeed it is probable that
in a fair contest he would rout the next animal portrayed.

ACTRESS.

Actress, No. 3915 in the Stnd Book and No. 6 on the bench
of the current show. Actress was bred by Mr. Haldeman,
of Philadelphia, and whelped on June 8, 1886. Her Bire was
Hero III., a dog of good lineage and ber dam Nell was also
of distinguished ancestry. Actress, or Queen as her mis-
tress fondly calls her, was a likely puppy, and was carried
through the ills of puppyfcood, with all the solicitude war-
ranted by her merit. She developed slowly and is only now
reaching her foil, massive, begnignant character as an adult.
In the show of 18S8, Actress was by much the best mastiff
shown and easily won 1st., and three specials. She is a
peculiarly kind doe, but yet has the race characteristic wbich
is to guard jealously all property of the owner. Anyone can
enter Mr. Preston's premises without molestation from Queen,
but if the visitors begins to prowl about, or to leave without
calling some inmate. Queen asserts herself and proves an
insurmountable obstacle to egress.

The non sporting breeds have not reached foil appreciation
in California yet, and it was much easier to secure a good
portrait of the good English setter,

SIKHS.

Sirius than of Actress. Sirius is owned by Mr. Thoma8
Bennet, a distinguished business man of San Francisco in
Life Insurance circles, who, nevertheless, is fond of having a
splendidly bred and finely broken setter about his home.
Sirius was bred by the California Kennel, Sacramento; is
three and a half years old; sired by Sportsman, a famons
winner at field trials. His dam was Sweetheart by Count
Noble — Dashing Novice. Sweetheart, in pace, nose and
staunchness, is much the beBt setter ever seen in California.
Her son, Sirius, a very large orange and white dog, inherits
all her staunchness, much of her nose, and would have had
more than average pace bnt for long continued sickness
while a puppy. Sirius was broken by a noted trainer in
Tennessee, and ran at the Eastern and American Field Trials
in 1887, not being placed because be was out of condition.
In January last at the field trials held near Bakersfield, Kern
County, Sirius won second place in the all-aged stake against
a good field. He is a fine, upstanding, level headed and in
every way superior animal.

Not unlike Sirius in possession of desirable qualities is the
fifth of the dogs selected for present portrayal,

Climax, owned by Mr. E. W, Briggs of this city. Climax
is to be seen at stall 73 in the show now open, his stud book
number being 10,021. He is a white and lemon pointer of
the rarest excellence in all but head, which is somewhat thick
and short. He was whelped on April 14, 1885, and was bred
by the great pointer breeding club, the Westminister Kennel
Club of New York, his sire being Bang Bang and his dam
Bellona. The sire is a grandly bred animal for field use, and
has proved his worth in many a hard day's contest. The
dam was a choice specimen likewise, so that Climax, unlike
the mule, can be proud of his ancestry and may even be
mere proud of his posterity, having established his prepoten-
cy. He was thoroughly field broken and won seoond at the
Pacific Coast Field Trial held in 1886, being beaten by a
Better named Shot. On the bench Climax has won first and
specials, San Francisco, 1886; first, San Francisco, 18S8, for
light weight pointers. He is of going form, has fine nose, is
a biddable nice dog, and is the inseparable companion of his
owner. Last, but to many eyes probably handsomest of the
dogs shown is

Jolly Planter, owned by Mi. H. T. Payne, of Los Angeles,
President of the Southern California Kennel Club, to whom
he is the finest of dogs. Jolly, not shown in the show
because out of coat, is numbered 8,219 in the stud book, and
is by Champion Plantagenc-t, ont of Countess Flirt, both
animals of interminable pedigree and many wins upon the
bench. Jolly planter has been trained by his owner, and is
not 'inly a good looker bnt a good one to shoot over, His
puppies are very fine in every reBpect, and take to hunting
with all the style and vim of their sire. The dog, when in
good coat and condition, is a hard one to beat.

California Kennel's Llewellin setter bitch Sweetheart
(Count Noble— Dashing Novice) to owners Loadstone
(Gladstone— Flounce) May 13, 1889.

That impressionable and irrepressible scribe of the Kern
County Californian, Mr. C. E. Sherman, intimates that the
receDt visit of Mr. W. E. Houghton, of Bakersfield, to this
city left an attache of this office ill. The report is a "cam-
paigu error," and is now nailed to Mr. Sherman's anatomy to
remain until personal vengearce can be wreaked.

Dogs and Creation.

There is only one C. J. Peshall, and after him none other
can assume the mantle. A curious student, an omnivorous
reader, and possessed of rare fancy and unlimited vocabulary,
his doggy items and squibs are easily the best things in
current kennel publications. His last outbreak is in these
words:

"From the book of Genesis and the legends taken from the
Apocryphal writings we get a history of the creation, and
learn that the dog was created before man. According to one
of the Russian fables, God plaoed the dog on guard at the
gates of the Garden of Eden, with the command to keep ont
and away the Evil One. Evidently the dog at that early day,
or in the beginning, possessed the same traits of watchfulness
and domestic habits which are now bred in the dog of the
present day.

According to Genesis, on the sixth day, God created the
dog. The dog, as well as all other animals, were created by
the Divine command, and after the creation of the animal
world he then said, lei us make man in our own image. He
did not say let the land bring foith maD, or let there be man,
but he did say let ub make man. Now the query in my mind
is this, who and whut was God talking to when he said let
us make man? Surely not to himself and sarely not to a
human being, as one had not been created. Now was it not
to one of the aoimals that he bad before this time oreated?
He was evidently counseling with some of bis former crea-
tion, and of or from all animals, is it not fair to assert that he
would and did chooBe tire dog, and is it not to this fact that
we can account for the ever continuing love and affection of
the dog for mankind?

According to Genesis the dog was created out of or by the
Divine Command; man was made out of the earth whioh had
previously been oreated by the Divine Command, while,
woman was made from the rib of the first man. Now is
there not some evidence for helieving that old Jimmie's an-
cestors not only saw but oounseled with God in regard to the
making of maD? If old Jimmied ancestors were as artibtic
as he is, in a measure this, perhaps, would account for the
beautiful form possessed by the human race. Jimmie.lovea
everything that is beautiful, and this is the reason he loves
me. He likes everything that is good, and that is the reason
he eats beefsteak. Peshall.

Grim's Gossip.

Isaac Murphy is reported to have signed again with E. J.
Baldwin. j

Have you noticed the advertisement of the Eureka Jockey
Club?

James Golden, is handling Arab at Boston. He will try to
lower his record.

Remember, entries for the two day's trotting meeting at
Napa close to-day.

The well known stallion Memo, trial 2:20}, has his book
full for this season.

Joe Narvice came down a few days ago to work under Jim
Brown at Oakland.

Dan Hennessey will take Welcome and McGinnis to Chi-
cago in about three week's time.

Clerk Lovecraft sends me official notice that The Bard has
been declared out of the Suburban.

One week from to-day there will be trotting and running
races at the Bay District Track.

H. L. Samuels says he has purchased Pliny from the Palo
Alto Stock Parm. Reported price $800.

Poor old Milner is being uBed as a teaser at the Rancho
Del Paso. Surely, he deserves a better fate.

Lee Shaner has removed his horses from the ValeDsin
Stock Farm, and taken them to Petaluma.

Tyrant is turned out iu a corral at the Arcade (Rancho Del
Paso) with seven barren mares, including old Sleight-of-
Hand, who. considering her age, looks remarkably well. The
lord of the harem looks as well and handsome as ever.

Theo. Winters left Reno last Thursday to join his stable in
the East, and purposes staying thereuntil the fall.

Louis P. has been on the shelf since his win at Sacra-
mento, having been bliBtered for lameness in the shoulder.

Arthur H.. three years old, was sold — not given away by
any means — for $105 to S. Tryoaon the last day at Sacra-
mento.

Chas. Boots was at Sacramento for the races, and had it
not been for the postponement would have brought up some
of his horses.

When in Sacramento last week, Jim Brown, the trainer,
informed me that he was engaged to train some youngsters
for Mr. Simpson of Oakland.

At the late Elniendorf Bale of yearlings a full brother of
Firetfzi sold for $7,000. R. W. Walden was the purchaser,
presumedly for J. A. & A. H Morris.

The racing associations in and around New York have
combined, and will refuse to allow bookmakers on their
grounds at less than $100 per day each.

W. L. Appleby left Sacramento for San Jose early on Sun-
day with the string. Bill will take up several colts and start
in work on them for the fall.

Emeline, on Friday of last week, made the 15th horse that
"W. Laird had given a record better than thirty. Probably
before long it will be still larger.

Cy Mulkey's Btable came through the city on their way to
Portland, Oregon, last Tuesday. Guido. Rosa Lewis, Quebec,
Bogus and Tom Daly were among the contingent.

The general opinion in Sacramento is that Geraldine can
beat Cyclone, shoes to plates. Probably that was why the
Cyclone money did not materialize in that match.

Mike McManus, who is stabling at the Oakland Trotting
Park has had placed inbiB hands for training two full sisters
to SiBter, a half sister to Sister and a full brother to Sister.

Last Saturday at Oakland, Mr. Dastin drove Maggie E. a
quarter in 35 seconds. On the same day Mr. Rowan drove the
well known stallion Memo, the same distance in 32* seconds.

Jookey Hazlitt informs me that he has severed all con-
nection with Stover and A. Davis. The stable has been
divided and Tom will go his own way. He should have done
this long ago.

J. C. Simpson's Antee colt, and A. L. Hinds, Clara P.,
were worked out together last Saturday, three heats, each of
which the colt won in 2:45, 2:42, 2:37. Each heat was won
by a throat latch only.

The citizens of Spokane Falls, W. T., have directed the
editor of the Horseman to purchase the tinest suit of olothes
procurable for Spokane, who was Darned after that beautiful
Northwestern city.

Wanderer 2d was nut op at auction on Saturday at Sacra-
mento and bought in'for a thousand dollars. Big Jim's colt
certainly ought to be worth more, for when only half fit he
made a dead heat with the Czar.

On last Tuesday Stamboul was shod for the first time this
Beason. Since he was placed in Mr. Hickok's hands he has
doDe his slow work barefooted. It was deemed advisable to
Bhoe him to save the foot.

An effort was made to purchase White Cloud to take East,
but Appleby put an exhorbitaut price on him. If the long-
tailed Pinto went East, the bcoks would give liberal odds
against him on his appearance alone.

Mike Kelly and Albert Cooper will probably start out
together for Chicago in about ten day's time with Flood Tide,
Geraldine and Abdiel in the one Btable, Louis P., Gladstone,
and possibly another in Albert's string.

The Capital Turf Club managed to pull out without losing
money on their venture. It is a'moat certain now that next
year the directors of the State Fair Association will hold a
spring racing meeting without any trotting.

The Cyclone crowd fairly badgered Kelly into a match at
Sacramento, Geraldine vs. Cyclone, $1000 a side, 600 yards,
and then when they met to sign the agreement and put
up forteit in Whitehead's hands, backed dowu.

Well what about the Australian stock now? A Sir
Modred' win* at Baltimore, a Sir Modred wins at Gravesend.
and Cheviot, a full bnther to Sir Modred, is the sire of
Little Bernie, who won the Nursery Handicap lately in
Australia J P. Haggin and Dr. Ross are to be congratolated
in owning two such grand producers. It is a great pity that
both these sires are held for private ubo.

Trotting at the late Sacramento meeting was in almost
every instance unsatisfactory, a kick, and a pretty vigorous
one too, being made in the Thapsin— Skelton race. Why is
it that trotting men do not seem to be able to have a day
without unseemly rows?

Chas. Lathrop journied up to the State Capital specially to
see Emeline and Marion trot. The former easily obtained a
record of 2:27}. She is bred in the right way being by Elec-
tioneer, dam Emma Robson by Woodburn; second dun? by
Lady Bell by Belmont.

On Thursday of last week, a match race took place at Oak-
land for $100 a side between G. Valensin's b m Santa Beta,
and C. Willoughby'sb g Sid Julien. The race was best two
iu three and the Valensin mare won easy in 2:59 and 2:39.
Sid Julien was distanced in the last heat.

The English papers say that the various turf scandals that
occured there have procured a wonderful re-action among
racing men, and that now such a thing as pulling or roping
is never heard of. A re-action of that kind might do good
here.

Marion, sis-year-old bay mare by Piedmont, dam Lady
Morgan by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, ought to soon have a
record but at present she is rather erractic and too much
given to running, possibly though that was owing to the
class being too fast for her.

The cute secretary of the Capital Turf Club, F. A. Jones,
has, after his success in the trotting line, decided to give up
the grocery business and go in for trotting horses. Last
week he sold out hie interest in the business, and bought a
share in a large livery Btable.

Dr. Aby waB at Sacramento last Saturday looking stouter
than ever. California air evidently agrees with him. R. P.
Ashe who oame up the evening before returned with the
Doctor on Sunday to Middleton, Lake County, intending to
stay a few day and see the beauties of that section.

The Beeeder anh Sportsman, in its last two numbers,
gave the engravings of two noted local horses, Racine and
Al Farrow. The pictures are remarkably good and true to
life and reflect credit on the Breeder. They are well enough
done to frame, especially the Racine cut. — Racing World.

Percy Williams showed good generalship in laying Lady
Helen up the first heat, as Hello and G. W. ran themselves
out, and the mare coming out first won cleverly in the next
two heats." The owner of the mare, Tom Williams, was not
present, but his plucky, pleasant brother attended to the
pool-bos in great shape.

Matt Storn will make a trip to Eureka with three or four
horses in July for the racing there, and I hope he will have
better luck than he had at Sacramento. Our correspondent
there wishes to express his appreciation of the many delicate
attentions paid him there by the genial, courteous Matt.

On Saturday last Dr. Cutler dotted Flood Tide's off fore-leg
to remove a Bmall splint, and on the same day Dr. McCollnm
used the irons on both Larghetta's hocks. Dr. Aby's Jils
Johnson colt, who is in Matt Storn's charge, ought to be
improved by the operation, which may not be the laBt he
will undergo ere long.

Samuel Stewart refused $3,000 for his brown mare Betsey
M. yesterday from Captain Kohl, of California. Jimmy
Green has developed Betsey M.'s speed. He drove her in
her race recently, when Bhe went a last half in 1:12. — Phila-
delphia Record.

I have received from friend Brewster, of the Washington
Park Club, Chicago, a most elegant hand book containing all
the entries for the stake races,and also the various programmes
for each day. The entries compose the best horses in the
country, and the meeting gives promise of being the best ever
held at the Lake City.

Murray, the trainer, and Van Gordon, the manager of the
H«arst stable will find things pretty hot for them when they
return. Under rule 122, they cannot be fined less than $100
for knowingly infringing the rule, which they did, when
they enticed Hanger JoneB' boy away and took him East.
This fall on their return, the Directors will investigate the
case which is held in abeyance until then.

Explosion and Maud Hampton are the queens of the
Rancho del Paso matrons, being placed in a paddock speci-
ally prepared for them. None of the other illustrious mares
are allowed in the vicinity of John Mackey's pets.

St. Carlo, the winner of the Great American stakes for two-
year-olds, is by imported St. Blaise, dam Carnia by imported
Ill-Used. No wonder he won, for St. Blai<e (a Derby winner
in 83) is a Bon of Hermit and Fusee, and St. Carlo's dam is
one of August Belmont's best mares.

The Dwyer Bros, have refused to permit telegraphic de-
scriptions of races to be Bent from the Brooklyn track. They
assert that many would-be spectators drift into the pool
roomB instead of patronizing the race track. This probably
explains the fact that our local pool rooms no longer describe
raceB at Brooklvn.

The Gilroy Advocate says: "'The Sargent Bros, have sold
one of their Nutwood stallions for $5,000, also a driving team
of the Hawkins and Nutwood blood for $2,000. Gov. Water-
man offered $1,800 for the team, but another Sacramento
man met the price asked. The Sargent Bros, are noted for
breeding good stock. One of the Jim Molvena colts sold at
$500 is abont to be shipped to Australia."

Cy Mulkey says that he wishes to have the statement con-
tradicted "that Guido waB not started on account of the
genuineness of the sale." I saw Mr. Wilson, the President,
immediately afterwards, and he informed me that first of alt
it was claimed that Mrs. Tupper owned the horse, but as that
did not work, Mulkey appeared with a bill of sale and the
directors concluded not to let him start in any case.

Id addition to the get of Anteeo mentioned in last week's
Breeder and Sportsman, Mr. G. A. Tupper of Santa Rosa,
has a fine one of which he writes to say that "She is the
finest of the Anteeo stook in Sonoma county The filly has
been named Santa Rosa, and is now in training, and can
beat any Anteeo colt that has no record."

The starting at Sacramento was good in one way for they
were all sent off pretty evenly, but the delays at the post
were too wearying for anything. Why on earth do not all
the associations unite on one man and pay him a yearly
salary; then we might possibly have good starting. At pres-
ent a starter is like a swallow, here to-day, and gone to-mor-
row.

There will be a grand cbance on Tuesday nest at the Bay
Distriot track to bid on some of the best bred horses in the
State. On that day F. S. Malone, Esq., will offer at nublic
auction a choice collection of brood-mareB, colts and hllies.
and it will be well for all breeders in the State to be on hand
and Bee what ib offered for Bale. The entire lot will be sold
withont reserve, and if there are not some rare bargains I
shall be much mistaken.

Billy Appleby had White Cloud and Lady Helen left in the
repeat race at Saoramento, and the general impresBion was
that he could not start both. Had he wished he moBt certainly
could, as the Blood Horse Association decided some few years
ago that a public trainer could start more than one, provided
that he did not manage them in the race, and, also, that they
were run in separate interests.

The celebrated stable of Theodore Winters arrived at the
Fair Grounds, at St. Louis on the 15 inst. The loss of The
Czar en route was a great misfortune, as he was valued at
$'25,000 and showed that he wonld rival the fame of his
great brother, the Emperor of Norfolk. The two cracks of
the stable now are the three-year-old Don Jose and the two-
year-old El Rio Rey, also a brother to The Czar and Emperor.

The McAfee & Baldwin sale of lots in Bakersfield and
lands in Kern County last week was an unprecedented suc-
cess. The town lots went off readily at good prices to buyers
who intend to establish homes in this most attractive town.
The farm lands were sold in Bmall tracts to intending resi-
dents, and at rates that were fair to both sides. Bakerpfield
iB well on its way to a growth that must make it a leading
city of California.

There is a rumor current that Lord Marcus Beresford,
who does the starting at all the principal race meetings in
England, has sent to Thomas Francis Meagher, the starter of
the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association, a present of a
soit of the new style of clothes worn by his lordship in the
discharge of his duties. The suit consists of a green cuta-
way coat with four Bilver buttons, red waistcoat, and green
knee breeches. This rather striking attire, coupled with the
heavy blackthorn cane which the wearer will undoubtedly
carry, should strike terror to the hearts of the jockeys, and
insure good starting.

How is this for cuteness? At Sacramento, some few years
ago, three horseB were left in the repeat race. The trainer of
one refused to start, and in order to induce him to start one
of the others offered to pay his entrance, and the other
agreed to give him half first money if he won; the easily
persuaded trainer ran second in both heats, got half first
money, the whole of the second, aud had his entrance paid
by the loser, and thuB made more money than the winner.
Mike was- only young then, but certainly his cripple paid
well that day.

From a letter received here I glean that Mr. Winters' great
colt was taken ill immediately on leaving Reno, giving Mr.
Estill, who was in charge of the horses, mnch concern for
the safety of the colt, in whom he had so much pride. By
chance a veterinary suigeon was on the train who recom-
mended that The Czar be taken on to Omaha. Following
the instructions of the doctor, the ailing horse continued the
journey and was taken to the Trotting Park at Council
Bluffs, where he arrived on Sunday, May 12th. Tbe suffer-
ing animal had every attention paid him possible, but he
was beyond human aid and succumbed on the following
day.

Once more we wish to call attention to the great sale of
imported and home-bred Bhetland ponies, standard and
thoroughbred trotters, saddle horses and yearlings, which
will be sold on Monday, Juue 3d, at the Missouri Horse
Exchange, St. Louis, Mo. A large portion of this consign-
ment was bred by Thos. T. Turner, Normandy, Mo , and
are fully guaranteed to be as represented. From the fact
that Mr. Turner has made tbe matter of the proper selection
of his stock a study for years, and no expense or trouble
spared, this sale offers an opportunity seldom, if ever, to be
met with, and every animal will be sold absolutely to the
highest bidder, as Mr. Turner, through other business en-
gagements, cannot devote any further time or attention to
his stock farm.

The sale of Guy May 14th for 529,750 would have been
a surprise if it bad n< t been an open secret that Mr. Gordon
did not mean to p»rt with him, and that he, as wtll as
Clingstone, was only placed in the catalogue to draw the
buyers. Of course no one is able to say positively that the
sale was an advertising dodge, but every horseman believes
that such was the case. The purchaser of Guj' is not a
horseman, and is a merchant iu Cleveland. It would have
been the natural inference thut the purchase was only a cover
for Mr. Gordon when Buch a price was quoted. Guy is
unquestionably the fastest gelding on the trotting lurf, but
the alleged price is excessive for a good actor, whioh Guy
never was, with a 2:12 record. The re-purchase of the horse
by Mr. Gordon and the withdrawal of Clingstone is ample
proof of the insincerity of the sale, and the comparatively
low prices brought by the other animals sold clinches the
argument.— Sporting World.

Dr. Ross has brought back from San Simeon the following
Palo Alto mares: Imported Fairy Rose (Kisber-Hippolyta),
the dam of Racine. Imported Music (bred by the Queen at
Hampden Court), by Prince Charlie, dam Mutiny by Adven-
turer. Imported Amelia, by Lowlaoder, dam Melissa, by
Hurbert. Precious Lever-Frolic, by Thunder, second dam
imported Siskin. Preoious is the dam of Peel and Philander.
Bessie Hooper, a three-year-old filly by Joe Honker out of
imported Queen Bees, by Strathconan, fifth dam, old Alice
Hawthorn. Tbe above rive mares have been bred to tbe
doctor's imported horBe Cheviot, an own brother to Sir
Modred, who ought to nick well with them, as, of course, his
breeding is exceptional, while his formation is very goo-1, his
head and neck being very bloodlike, while a better back and
hind quarters were never seen. As a racehorse be
decided success in New Z.laod; Id fact, the Doctor i i
thought of raoing him here, but finally resolved to BtauH
at Senator HearstV ranch, end, although never adve:

The California horsemen won a lot of money in Mon-
tana last year, and will try to do the eame this, but they
must remember that the second payment for the stake
races are due nest Saturday, June 1st. Do not wait
until then but send on your money at once. Delays are
dangerous, and it iB liable to slip your memory.

While alluding to associations, we desire to call atten-
tion to the fact that on June 1st the entriea close for the
firat meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breed-
ers Association. Let all make entries who can, and
increase the interest in the new organization. The asso-
ciation will be of benefit to every breeder in the State,
and consequently the breeders must support it as far as
Dossible. Next Saturday is the last day to make entries
and we expect to see a large list. Read over the adver-
tisement carefully and make up your mind to make at
least one entry.

No. 1 of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide for the ninth
season is at hand, and, as usual, is replete with informa-
tion, all the old features being retained and several new
ones added. Every trainer, jockey and owner in the
country should have this convenient work at hand, as no
horseman can afford to be without it. It will be issued
regularly twice a month, at a cost of fifty cents per
number, by the proprietors, Goodwin Bros., 241 Broad-
way, New York.

The Fresno Fair Grounds Association.

There is no association in the State of California to-
day, that would dare to offer $20,000 in one purse, out-
side of the one whose name forms the caption of this arti-
cle. "While they have already issued the prospectua of
the annual fair, at which there will be two Guar-
anteed Stakes contested for, in addition to the usual three
and four races per day, they announce this week that
there will be still another Guaranteed Stake of $2,000
this time for 2:20 trotters, which will also be brought to
a decision at the Fair Meeting. This is a stake well
worth contending for, and as there are so many horses
now in the State, that can come so near touching the
mark, there should be no trouble in filling the stake, in
fact from promises already made it is almost a foregone
conclusion that this event will have an exceedingly
large number of nominators. Owners in reading the
advertisement must bear in mind that only a small sum
is necessary at time of entry, the balance being paid on
the installment plan. The stakes already filled for the
first meeting comprise the Raisen Stake, the Guarantee
Stake and also stakes for on,e, two and three-year-old
trotters. The purses and premiums will amount to over
$12,000, which goes to show that the Fresnoites are de-
termined to be second to none in the size of money of-
fered.

But this is not all, there will also be another meeting
given in November at which it is determined to give a
$20,000 purse for thoroughbreds, the distance to be two
miles and repeat. In the advertisement the management
says:

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

Being aware that the responsibility, to a great extent, of
the association, is not known outside of our own State, we
herewith attach a certificate, signed by the Banks of this
city, as to the responsibility of the AsBOoiation.

Annexed to the circulars which are being issued in
conjunction with the entry blanks is the following:

"We, the undersigned, do certify that the Fresno Fair
Grounds Association is perfectly responsible, and its state-
ments are reliable.

Lewis Leaoh, President Farmers' Bank.

O. J. Woodward, President First National BaDk.

Louis Einstein, President Bank of Central California.

H. D. Colson, President Fresno National Bank.

W. H. McKenzie, Cashier Fresno Loan & Savings Bank.

The conditions of the race are: Entrance fee, ten per cent.
of purse, payable as follows: July 15th, £250; August 15tb,
$250; September 15th. $250; October 15th, $250; November
1st, $1,000; when horses are to be named and color given to
ridern. Purse divided into four monies — $10,000 to first,
$5,000 to second, $3,000 to third, and $2,000 to fourth horse;
three to enter and two to start; American Association Rules
to govern. Any horse distancing the field, or any part
thereof, shall only be entitled to first money. All nomina-
tions muBt be accompanied by amount of first payment, or
will not be recognized as an entry, and all paymentR there-
after must be paid when due, or nominator forfeits all money
paid in, but in no caBe will the nominator be held for more
than he has paid in.

The Association reserves the right to postpone the raoe, on
account of bad weather or track, until the first good day and
track.

Weights will be as follows: —

2 year old 70 lbs.

3 " » 109 "

4 " " 122 "

5 " «• ; 124 "

6 " " 124 "

With the usual allowance in heat races of o lbs., mares
three years old and upwards shall be allowed 3 lbs. ColoDial-
bred horses foaled in Colonial time, i. e., between August 1st
and December 1st, allowed as follows: Two and three-year-
olds, 8 lbs; four-year-olds, 5 lbs; five-year-olds, 3 lbs. No
allowance for Colonial-bred horses over five years, except the
usual sex allowance.

There will also be liberal purses offered for four days*
racing, to be given the same week as the race takes place.
Programme to be issued later on.

To warrant the success of the undertaking, the Directors
have sent Mr. Frank Baldwin a sa special oommiBsioner
to the Eastern States to get as many entries as possible.
He will attend a day or two each at Latouia, St. Louis,
and Chicago, and then go to Coney Ialand and Mon-
mouth to further the interests of the scheme. EntrieB
can be rnide to Mr. N. I. Baldwin at Fresno. Any per-
sons desirous of procuring entry blanks and conditions
can get them at this office.

The Breeding of Trotters.

Every year it is becoming a question more important
to the many directly concerned, and in a degree to the
greater numbpr who feel interested in the subject
whether there is what may be termed a royal road to
breeding of trotters. Authorities differ. Some hold that
the infusion of thoroughbred running blood is not bene-
ficial to products. To this is the contention that the
highest speed and better qualities are to be obtained
only by thorough breeding. And between these are
manifold opinions, with clearly defined judgment. Es-
timated by the only practicable criteria — turf perform-
ances— the pursuer to definite results is involved in
curious labyrinths, out of which he places himself in
the predicament of the traveller who chose between un-
marked cross-roads, and is told by the first person he
meets at the outcome: "Had you taken the other road
you would have been all right," or, "Why, Mister, you
are entirely out of your way." And as he pauses and
ponders, the next he meets informs him that, to "keep
straight on," he will come out right, if he "doesn't take
any more turns." It is a condition of new countries,
as it is of new theories.

So high an authority as J. H. Wallace maintains that

the blood of thoroughbred horses— that is of runners is

not conducive to breeding trotters of high speed. In fact
he holds strong objection to the thoroughbred alliance.
He has his followers in belief. In contention are some of
the most careful and most successful breeders and ac-
complished turfmen in the country. Actually, the ten-
tative period to tne determination of the subject 13 still
under trial. Scientists are unable to arrive at exact con-
clusions until years of experiment and profound study
have been devoted. Learned physiologists and anato-
mists yet widely differ as to mankind, notwithstanding
the Ages which have rolled since Hippocrates and the
astonishing discoveries of the present century in vital
science. The question recurs, Who shall decide when
doctors disagreed

Hark Comstock contributes an able article upon the
subject to the New York Spirit of f/« T/w^, May 4th.
He believes in thoroughbred blood, for bone and sinew
for flesh and mettle, for endurance and speed. These
are the controlling and essential qualities which mark
the runner and the trotter alike. A cold strain impairs
either in performances. Inbreeding is the true test and
task. Attention should be given to this prime essential,
rtuxley's "survival of the fittest" more nearly illustrates
the quality. And his proofs came through experiment
and development to demonstration. The exact deter-
mination of the question in point must await similar
process to conclusion.

It should be borne in mind that racing, with speed
and recorded time, is still comparatively modern. Our
earliest records are English, and the oldest of these — of
Newmarket — only a little more than two hundred years
ago, and consisted solely of rulmiug. The aucient Olym-
pic races and those of Rome were feats more of skill in
management than of speed. But racing calendars and
studied breeding and training date no farther back than
1727, when the importation of'Arabians and Barbs bad
ciused new rivalry in turf sports. The great races of
Euglaud are only for runners, and breeding for trotters
ia still rare in Euglaud, while very great attention is
devoted to the breeding of rucuers.

It is only in the United States that the breeding of
trotters bad been cultivated and trotting races practised
and patronized upon the turf — mile dashes and heats
and long distances, computed in exact time. Formerly,
from 1825 down to 1S55, long distances, from 10 miles
up to 100 miles, were not infrequent. Kentucky Prince
trotted 10 miles in 28:8£; Trustee, 20 miles in 59:35$,
and John Stewart in 5S:05jJ; Black Joke, 50 miles in 3
hours, 57 minutes, saddle, and Ariel in 3 hours, 55 min-

utes, 40£ seconds, harness; Conqueror, 100 miles, harness)
in 8 hours, 55 minutes, 53 seconds, with 15 short rests
inclusive; and the pair Master Burke and Robin, wagon,
including rests of 2S minutes, 34 seconds, in 10 hours,
17 minutes, 22 seconds. Performances of this kind are
no longer attempted, except on very rare occasions.
They are cruel to the horse and of no ultimate good.
Mile heats are the generally accepted rule. The mile
has been reduced from three minutes, fifty years ago, to
two minutes, eight and three-quarter seconds. This
record will be reduced, it is believed, to even two min-
utes. "What has done it? Manifestly breeding and
training. And the ultimatum is not yet.

The early American trotter was no more than the fleet
roadster. The patrons of the trotting turf were simply
sportsmen and fanciers. The great meetings were for
thoroughbreds and runners. These attracted the noted
turfmen, the rich and the multitude. The care of breed-
ing was directed in that line. The development of trot-
ters was largely accidental. There were no breeding
farms for trotters. Lady Suffolk was a phenomenon,
without accurate traceable pedigree. There was doubt
as to the pedigree of the Morgans; and Blackhawk, Rip-
ton, Confidence, Americus and others of the period were
mainly superior roadsters. A trotting stallion was quite
unknown. Lady Suffolk, squarest of trotters as she was
the speediest, had no son or daughter of her form.

Within the thirty years that breeders have devoted
attention to trotters, the character of turf sports has been
improved in marked degrees. Breeding farms for trot-
ters have been established with extraordinary results.
It is the most lucrative branch of the industry, as it is
the best patronized. It produces grand development of
the horse. To the Hambletonian line can be traced the
greater degree of prized and commanding qualities, but
there are other lines famous and nobly worthy. Enu-
meration is not required here, and an omission might be
deemed purposeful. The type is alone essential. In it
the results of more intelligent breeding are demonstrated.
How much thoroughbred breeding the infusion of thor-
oughbred sires and dams has had to do with this superior
development, may be confidently committed to the judg-
ment of observant and competent breeders and turfmen
— for them to say.

The effect is palpable. There must be a reasonable
cause. "What is it? Common clay remains common
clay, however much it is worked and moulded. Dtlf
never becomes porcelain through manipulation. If
improvement results from admixture, investigate to
what further degree the process can be wrought onward
to the utmost perfection attainable. If a cold strain has
deleterious effect, it is reasonable to infer that a pure
strain will have beneficial effect, and as the most won-
derful trotter of no pedigree has never equaled the aver-
age of line of high grade or thorough breeding, the fact
must be its own interpretation. It requires years to the
demonstration, but so long as superior breeding produces
superior results, common sense prompts continuance of
the system. All the time, since the better methods of
breeding trotters of high grade, the speed records have
been notably lowered and the value of trotters has
greatly advanced.

A Horse Infirmary.

Doctors Bowhill and Eagen have taken a long lease of the
premises 2209 Jackson street, and Btted np a very complete
horse, cattle and dog infirmary, something sadly needed in
San Francisco. The place has a frontage of sixty feet, run-
ning back a hundred and thirty-seven feet, to which is an
annex or L thirty feet s quare. Fronting on the street is a
good residence with all the modern conveniences, one of the
principal rooms of which is fitted up as a business office.

In addition to the usual paraphernalia incidental to an
office of the kind, the walls are tastefully arranged with the
pictures of celebrated dogs and well-known horses. One
of the back rooms is used as a repository for the surgical
instruments, there being every thing necessary for an opera-
tion from the most minute lancet to the hobbles and fir ing
ixooB. In the rear of the office is a grass plot about thirty
feet square which will be used for operating purposes; this
part is fenced in with lattice work, and is not used except
for operations. Along the fence there are arranged ten good
kennels, all of which are already rilled with patients. Pass-
ing into the stable yard proper there are found two stables,
one on the left and one on the right. The OTe on the left
has accommodations for six horses, four of the compartments
being the usual bjzp, while the others are large, roomy box
stalls, fit for any turf monaroh. The lofts have capacity for
fifty tons of bay and Beveral tons of grain, in addition to
which are rooms for the use of the stablemen. The other
Btable is being fitted up into five box stalls, leaving room
for ten more kennels if needed for the oanine patients.
There ia plenty of room for buggies and wagoDs, hot
and cold water, laboratory, etc. Dr. W. F. Eagen is the
veterinarv surgeon to the Board of Health, a position for-
merly occupied by Dr. Bowhill. The latter has for a long
time been connected with the veterinary department of the
Breeder astd Sportsman, and notwithstanding his increased
labors, will cheerfully answer at all times any questions
asked relating to the ailments of domestic animals.

Wm, McDonald, Livermore.

The stallion inquired after by W. F. Smith in your last
issue was named Metacomet, and his pedigree, as far as
remembered by the party having him here, was, Metacomet
by the Black Sultan; Black Sultan by General Knox. Meta-
comet's dam by the Drew horse. He was bred near Newport,
Maine, and brought to California by one Geo. Adams, a
lumber merchant in San Francisco.

The stallion (Comet) taken to Oregon by Mr. Pratt was a
Morgan horse, and was raised by Mr. Pratt, who now resides
in Livermore, Cal.

Dr. Cattanach on "Big Head."

Meeting Dr. Cattanach, V. S., the other day at Mt. St.
Vincent Hotel, in Central Park, says the N. Y. Spirit, he
related some curiouB particulars of the now celebrated brood-
mare Jaconet, the dam of Belvidere and Sir Dixon. Beyond
the fact that she is a full aister to Iroquois but little ia known
of the mare. *'It was the year Duke of Magenta was a two-
year old," explains the doctor, "that Mr. Pierre Lorillard
sent me six two-year-olds suffering from 'big head,' which,
as you know, is the worst disease known in America, it being
a degeneration of the bones of the head. Most of them were
of the high-priced lot of Leamingtons he had purchased of
Mr. Welch, and among them was Jaconet. 1 cured the
entire lot, but when I was ready to discharge them as cured
Mr. Lorillard Baid he wouldn't have them on his farm, he
being afraid of contagion, and made me a present of them.
Jaconet was as fast a tilly as you ever saw, but could not stay
far enough for the races of those days, and, as I kept only
steeplechasers, I had no use for her and traded her with Mr.
Welch, her breeder, taking in exchange a yearling filly, by
Leamington — Elastic, which I called Caller On, after the
famous mare with which I'Anson had won the St. Leger in
England. I never heard what became <>f Jaconet until I saw
she was the dam of Belvidere and Sir Dixon, aod as both are
such fine race-horses, it would look as it 'big head' was not
mherit«ble."

Dr. Cattanach's narrative was quite interesting; hut to this
there is to be added another chapter of even as gteat interest,
in which Jaconet played a part. In the autumn of 1881 Mr.
Welch desired to reduce his stud, aud as Messrs. Clay &
Woodford were building up the now noted Runnymude Stud,
Mr. Catesby Woodford came on to New York, and Mr. Welch
pold him six mares, among them being JaooDet, Mundane,
Lady Motley and Mary Clark. It was a most disastrous

Mr- LoriUard's Intentions.

Mr. Pierre Lorillard is about to return to the turf; at least,
we have reason to believe he contemplates doing so. Every
true racing man will rejoice to Bee the cherry ar.d blick of
Bancocas once more among our "silks and satius," says the
New York Spirit. We are well aware that there are those
who could never see any good in Mr. Lorillard, but to those
we would reply that he has done more for racing than any
man in America, bar Mr. Jerome. The latter conceived
grand rare-courses, but Mr. Lorillard gave racing the first
impetus which made it a great, popul .r 6port. It was Mr.
Lorillard who first conceived the plan of mammoth stakes,
now so popular. It was he who first framed the declaration
clause which rendered such stakes possible, by gaining vast
numbers of nominations. It was he who for eight years-
added $5,000 in gold cabh to the stake which bears his uaiue.
(Query; Where is there another owner who has done this?)
It was he who imported more great English stallions and
mareB (Mortemer, Pizarro, Pontiac, Saxon, etc.,) thau any
one mac. It was he who maintained the finest racing stable
in the land, regardlet-H of cost. It was he who arranged
more sensational match races than any owner of our time.
Finally, it was he who made the first successful invasion of
Eogland with American horses. Up to that date racing in
America had languished. The success of Parole and Iroquois
in England was the means of first arousing the interest of the
American public in racing. Let ns give a man credit for
what he deserves.

Two years ago at Monmouth Park, Mr. Lorillard told us
that if he ever returned to the turf he would not keep so ex-
tensive a stable as he had, nor would he maintain so exten-
sive a stud. When be raced before Mr. Lorillard seemed to
have an klru that money would accomplish ail things, and
that he had only to pay the greatest prices to secure the best
race horses or the best stallions and broodmares with which
to breed them. We think his experience Bhowed him that it
is impossible to "corner1* the market in racing, although his
last year on the turf (1SS5) was the moat successful he ever
had, A great unwieldy establishment, such as be main-
tained, was so fraught with cares and anxieties that it robbed
his spurt of all the element of pleasure. With the experience
he gained during the eleven years he raced he ought now be
able to steer clear of the reefs and enter upon a career which
will be both pleasant and profitable. With the advent of
Messrs. Lorillard, Morris, Hearst and Kelly, it would look as
if racing wbb on the threshold of an Augustan era.

Mr. Lorillard said the other day that he was pnrohaRing
mostly fillieB, as he, being unable to sell the Bancocas farm,
had determined to restock it. He wonld build up another
stud by purchasing yearling fillies and turniDg them out un-
til they were old enough for breeding. He gave this color
by purchasing fifteen fillies at Tuesday's sale through Dr.
Carter, the Bancocas veterinary, hut he also purchased some
very fine colts and manifested as much interest in the pro-
ceedings as he did in the early days of Parole and Faithless.

Mr. W. L. Colville, travelling representative of the new
Baker gun, made at Batavia, N. Y., has been in San Francisco
for a week or more. He leaves on Tuesday next for Los
Angeles, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the South. Mr.
Colville has long been known to reading sportsmen as "Dick
Swiveller," over which non de plume he has contributed a
great deal of matter about guns and powders to the various
sportsmen's journals. A bright, well-posted and very enter-
taining man, he will not fail reestablish himself in the respect
and regard of all with whom he comes in contact. The gun
which he travels for possesses many excellences, notably that
of costing but little. It is a plain, sound weapon, intended
for those who care more for actual shooting than for dainty
finish. We commend Mr. Colville to the good graces of
sportamen along his line of travel.

ROD.

Mr. Ramon Wilson reports that shad; in large nuniberB
have been taken in a branch of Napa River, known as Milli-
gan Creek, far above tidal influence. Milligan Creek ordi-
nary is an insignificant brook, but jnst now is running large
beoause of recent raios. We have not noted a similar proof
of the increase of Bhad and it is good news.

Scientific Pacts About Carps.

The carp belongs to the Linntean genius of abdominal
fishes, the family type of cycloid fishes in the system of the
great Agassiz. In an examination of one recently, I found it
had two bladders instead of one, as is usual with most fish;
they communicated with each other through the medium of
a narrow neck. With this peculiar apparatus the fish buoys
itself to the surface without any apparent exertion. There
is a connection between the bladder and the gullet, into
which he forces air from the bladder when he desires to
increase his specific gravity, and sink to the bottom. The
carp can probably secrete air from the blood. This fish has
a pair of fins capable of making four motions, two by expand-
ing and shutting the rays, and two by extension and flexion,
for which proper muscles are supplied, with distinct muscular
apparatus for each motion, so arranged as to regulate ihe
movements of the fins with perfect nicety, expandiog and
closing them with the same facility that a lady does her fan.
These fins are not used for effecting progression, but merely
for inclining, stopping or turning the body, and likewise
retaining position in the water. The vertical fins prevent
rolling when the fish darts forward, and the other tins are
auxiliary instruments, mostly used in modifying thedireotion
and adjusting the impulse derived from the tail, which is
truly the oar of progression, rudder, and weapon of defense.
Its action upon the water is literal, similar to an oar, which
in the vertical position it closely resembles, and every part
of its wonderful mechanism is perfectly calculated to pro-
mote progress, and that it may at all times be free and unim-
peded. Nature has placed all the important viscera near the
head, not allowing even room for the neck. The bodies of
all fish are continuous with the head, as yon may have
observed, without an intervening thorax, the objeot being to
leave space for the expansion of the eoceygeal vertebree, and '
the muscles which form nearly two-thirds of the hulk of the '
^arp of other fish; thus all impediments are removed from
mobility.

On examiniug the peculiar manner in which the vertebras
of the carp are connected, was surprised to find that two
concede surfaces of adjacent vertebrce were applied one to

the other by the junction of the margins by an elastic liga-
ment, which bends by the application of force to one side of
the spinal arrangement, and is restored to its former position
when the force ceases to act. Though the extent of motion
in each saparate joint is very small, but by multiplication of
the entire series contained in the spinal structure, the effect
resulting is great. A gelatinous substance fills each cavity of
the cup-shaped hollow in the spinal column, constituting
what may be called a spherical pivot for every motion of each
?oint. It was at first thought that this peculiar articulation
would permit the carp to move his tail in every direction,
but found that the extension of the spinal arrangement
restricted the motions to a movement from side to 6ide, and
prevented flexions down or up, thus making it encumbent
upon the carp to strike the water laterally, being the only
motion necessary. The number of tbeBe vertebrae differ
much in various fishes, being multiplied to the extent of one
hundred and ninety-nine in the shark. The muscles in the
carp compose the majority of the bulk of its body, and are
i rranged in a very simple manner, so as to be obliqne to the
motion of the fish. There are two sets provided expressly
for the movement of the tail, and consist entirely of lateral
flexion.

All the vital organs of this fish have been placed in a very
small compass, and its body tapers both ways, that it may
form the least resistance to its naiive element as it darts for-
ward, perfectly obvious to its retardation that might naturally
arise from the reflex of the water behind. The scales are
smooth and somewhat impregnated with an oleaginous pre-
paration to enable the fish to diminish friction, besides pro-
tecting its flesh from an injurious penetration of water by
constant pressure, The bones are clear and transparent,
which shows that they contain a very small proportion of
earthly phosphate of lime, which is not so much required as
in terrestrial animals, because joints are not needed by fish.
Carp live longer out of their native water than any other
known tish. In Holland they are kept alive twenty-two da\ s.
hucg up in a cool cellar in a bag of wet moss, where they
are perfectly fattened on bread and milk. As this practice is
general in that country there must be an advantage in it.
They breed remarkably well, and grow laTge in ponds re-
mote from cold springs; Aristotle and Pliny both say six
times each year, if there is no fish to devour their ova.

There is the skin of one in the British museum that was
said to have weighed '26 pounds when alive; still tbey are
rarely caught either in the pondR or rivers of England weigh-
ing over 10 or 12 pounds. Bnffon mentioned that he had
seen them in the fosses or ditches of the Ponchartrain known
to be 150 years old; and Sir James Smith says in his "Tour
on the Continent, 1793,," that at the Prince of Conde's Beat
at Chantilly, there were enormous shoBls of large carp, sil-
vered over with age like silver fish, and that they were de-
t-troyed during the French revolution. In 1830 Sir James
Bmitb foucd carp in the ponds of Versailles whioh had been
placed there in 1600, and were whilo with age. ThoBe in
the lung canal in Hampden Court park are supposed to

have been there since the oanal was made by William the
Third, notwithstanding Sir Francis Bacon says that carp
live but 10 yeara. In Italy the ova of carp are made into
caviare whioh is sold to the Jews, who will not eat the ca-
viare of sturgeon, which they consider unclean because they
are devoid of scales. The physicians of that country convert
the stones and galls found in the head of the carp into medi-
cine.

THE GILtf,

Inter-Clcb Contest.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The proposed inter-
club team contest at live birds is "a go." We have been to
Stockton and its team are on deck. At Sacramento, members
of Foresters and Pacific Clubs say they are enthusiastic and
will enter teams. The California W. I. C, and the Alameda
Co. S. Club, have signified intention of shooting. Two Gan
Club men say they would like to shoot. In view of these
facts I have requested designs from Tiffany of N. Y., and
the Gorham Co., for a trophy to be presented by,
Yours,

Selby Smelting & Lead Co.,

per S. I. Kellogg.

Rurbt!

Editor Breeder and Sportsman;— Yon r splendid copy of
May lltb, gives the American Sbootmg Association rules in
full, and also states that the Selby Smelting Co. is willing to
furnish copies of same to a'l who may desire them. Now
many are afraid that the new association is somewhat of a
trust, but on investigation I think it will be discovered that
such au idea is erroneous. At present every club has rules
of its own, or what is worse, none at all, which is all wrong,
and there has long been a need of uniformity and unanimity
in tr-ip shooting rules, which the new ones, beiog as nearly
perfect as possible, if adopted and endorsed and the associa-
tion notified to that effect, will remedy, and a long stride in
the right direction taken.

Let all clubs endorse and adopt these rules, and any
errors in them oan readily be discovered and revisions made.

The intention of the Directors of this Association is to make this place a central point for racing in
California. They recognize the fact, that in ordsr to do> they have get to give laige puisi s in Oder to »:
first-class horses. Knowing they bay a as well-appointed grounds and as good a track as there Is in Cali-
fornia, having first-class stabling and the best Club Bouse ou any track in California, and plenty of fine
grass for horses the whole year, and by dealing justly and fairly with the horsemen, we hope to receive
their patronage. We are situated about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes it
an accessible point for the patronage of the whole State.

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

JUDGE McKINSTRY is a bright bay with black

bining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for their gameness and fieetness Sneakin of
JUDGE McKINSTRY. Uiatt istorn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of tbe present record." Ha
was started in several races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well kn->wn to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st te pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of liis sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels ub to
name both sires.

PASHA,

The property of S. N. Straube, Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, Fresno, Cal.

Last week we presented a picture of Mr. Straube's match-
less stallion Clovis, and now this week we famish a likeness
of the stable companion, Pasha. Having heard many favora-
ble comments on the stock owned by the proprietor of Poplar
Stock Farm, a representative of the Breeder and Sportsman
visited Fresno last week to inspect the stallions and brood
mares owned by that gentleman. Leaviog San Francisco a
9 p. m., we arrived at Fresno, after a good night's rest in the

sleeper, at 5.20 nest morning, and are cordially received by
Mr. Straube, who is in waitiDg to extend ns a hearty greeting.
A well-prepared breakfast is done ample justice to, and at
sis o'clock we are away, behind a spanking team, to the farm,
which is situated about seventeen miles southeast from
Fresno. It is many years since the writer last visited that
section of the San Joaquin Valley, and the great improve-
ment visible everywhere can be attributed to no ocher reason

than irrigation. When the various companies completed
their mammoth canals and ditches the future of this portion
of the valley was assured, and it is no wonder that the town
of Fresno has grown to its present proportions, lor prosperity
will build up any city and attract the pushing, go-ahead
business people who are always on the alert to secure foot-
holds in any neighborhood where there is a reasonable chanc,,
to secure good interest on money invested. For tb-^

distance the drive is through great fields of golden grain just
ready for the header, alternated by vineyards and orchards,
with every now and again pastures filledwith alfalfa. 1 he old
desert look which formerly greeted the eye iB now changed to
green and gold, and all due to the long-headed men who had
faith in the irrigation scheme and carried their plans to a suc-
cessful conclusion. Major Frank McLaughlin, of Oroville,
once contemplated irrigating part of the Saoramento Valley
with water taken from the Feather river, where the Big Bend
Tunnel and Mining Company was at work, and after careful
consideration we are aatistied that there would have been much
more money for the promoters, in irrigation, than will ever be
made out of the mine. It is not too late now to reconsider the
matter even at this late day, and if carried out there would
be such an era of prosperity for Butte, Yuba and the southern
portion of Tehama Counties that the past would in a short
time be looked upon as the age of ignorance. But to the
subject of the sketch. Mr. Straube purchased Poplar Grove
Breeding Farm about eighteen months ago, having sold a
Urge ranch, which he owned, further north, in Fresno
County. Immediately on taking possession, he made a tour
of the principal stock breeding establishments of the State to
select the very best stallion that money could procure. His
final selection proves that he waB fully awake to the wants
of purchasers, for he secured the grandly bred horse Clovis,
by whom the largest proportion of his mares were served.
Later on, in last season, he also purchased Pasha 2039, who
has a record of 2:36, and would have had one much lower
but for an accident which compelled his then owner to throw
him out of training. Pasha is a full brother to Bay Rose,
2:20£, and is a beautifully proportioned horse, standing 16i
hands in height and weighs 1,240 pounds. He is a jet black
in color, with both hind pasterns white; has a tine, shapely
head, strongly marked with lines of intelligence; a perfect
neck, sitting beautifully in an immense pair of shoulders; is
splendidly coupled; has very powerful qnarters; a perfect
set of legs, and good feet. He is not deficient in bone, and
from a muscular standpoint, l°oks as near perfection as a
horse can be. His off fore-leg Bhows a trace of the acoident
which happened to him laBt year, but on being hitched up,
all signs of lameness had disappeared. In action he is an
exceedingly pure gaited horse, aDd moves in what may justly
be termed a "skimming" style, moving over the ground with
an ease and grace that puts the spectator in mind of Gold-
smith Maid.

Pasha i3 eight years old, and is by Sultan, 2:24, {sire of
Stamboul, 2:14£; Kuby. 2:19J, and fifteen others in the 2:30
list), he by The Moor; first dam Lady Baldwin by The Moor;
second dam by Ben Lippincott, by Belmont.

When Pasha was led into his stall, Clovis was brought out,
and although many notes had been marked down about the
former, one word oansum up all that is necessary to say
about the later, "perfection." The most critical horseman
could not find a spot or blemish to cavil at, as he stood in
front of the stall, with the sun shining on his black glossy
coat. In conformation he closely resembles Stamboul, but
is a heavier boned horse, and if anything, is prettier to the
eye. Mr. Straube has had to refuse a Urge number of mares
this year for Clovis, and already eleven are booked for him
for next season. Mr. Straube has settled the price at $75,
and only a few highly approved mares will be taken, as in
all probability he will be trained for a record next year.

The brood inareB at the farm are well worthy of mention,
as they have been carefully selected and are all first class
individuals. The first to attract attention was the bay mare
Mattie by Whipple's Hambletonian, for, standing at her side
were four of her ohildren, Mattie Consuelo, four years old,
by Steinway; Theodosio, three years old, by Steinway; Millie
H., two years old by Clovis; and Poplar Boy, a suckling colt
by Clovis. The young colt was sold when only seven days
old for $1,000, and could not be bought to-day from the new
owner for double that amount. The four-year-old has trotted
a mile in 2:34 and the next younger in 2:36. Lady Winkley
was the dam of Mattie, who is a grand looking mare. She
was formerly owned by the late Seth Cook. Ela by A. W.
Richmond, is another magnificent mare, whose dam is Grey
Dale by American Boy. She has by her side a fine young
tilly by Strathway, who gives every promise of being able to
beat the foal of '37, who trotted last year and got a yearling
record of 2:56. Joanita is a young matron, three-years -old,
by Nephew, who is happy in the possession of a colt by
Archadine, he by Richard's Elector. The colt is a good one,
and combining as he does so many prime strains of blood
should prove a hard one to beat when he matures. Nettie
Sultan by Sultan, dam by Blackhawk, is a beautiful dark
brown, of good proportions, and should prove a desirable
acquisition to the harem. She is heavy in foal to Apex, 2:26,
and will foal shortly. The bay mare Lizzie Bernard is by
Mountain Boy, dam by Gen. McClellau. Her filly by Clovis
is a fine youngster, and is a credit to both sire and dam.
Fannie Irving is a very handsome mare by Gen. McClellan,
and has a record of 2:34. She has not foaled yet, but Clovis
is the sire of the you nster when it does make an appearance.
Another mare that would command attention anywhere is
Etla by Skenendoah 926, the sire of the dams of Adrian 2:26£,
Bonner, 2:23, Slander, 2:28i, Wormwood, 2:25, and many
other fast ones. Ella has a yearling by Apex that is very
fast, the colt at her side being by Clovis. A seal brown mare
by A. T. Stewart, and whose dam was by Belmont, has a
colt by Clovis, far above the uBual run of young ones, which
should turn out well. Lizzie Thorne, a two year old filly
has been relegated to the stud, and was standing close to her
mother, Fannie, by Romulus. Lizzie Thorn has trotted at
better than "a .40 gait,"' and will undoubtedly stamp her
progeny with speed. The dam Fanny was very busy fussing
over a beautiful foal by Apex, and seemed particularly
anxious that we should notice all the good points of the little
one, and she waB fully justified in her motherly pride, for the
colt is an exceptionally fine one. The very beBt looking
foal on the farm, in the opinion of the writer, is a filly by
Clovis, out of Locket, 2:27, by Whipple's Hambletonian.
She is a perfect picture of the highest type of the trotting
horse, and coming from such grand blood lines, will, barring
accident, prove a very fast mare when ready for a race.
"When asked to set a price on this stylish youngster, Mr.
Straube said the filly was not for sale. Locket's dam was by
Geo. M. Patchen Jr., so the reader can readily imagine that
the new comer should make a mark for himself, as speed and
endurance are combined in a remarkable degree. Miss Lang-
ford is a pretty cheBtnut mare by John NelBon, dam by Lang-
ford, and has a nice filly by Apex.

In addition to the mares named above, there are also at
tl a farm, Nora, by Geo. M. Patchen Jr.; a three-year-old
bjack filly by Nephew Jr.. dam by Romulus; Alice Clay by
Alcona Clay; Lida Upright by Upright; Fanny Nelaun by
/ohn Nelson; Ida Davis by Belnor, dam Danville Maid; Lucy
■ mith by Abbottsford, dam Aristola by Fred low; Flora by
p.eho; Fannie Chapman by Thad Stevens; Miss Cressy by
Nephew, and some sixty others. A yearling filly by Clovis
lamed EUse wa6 much admired for her size and conforma-
tion, the little lady being tall enough for a two-year-old.

The farm has been well equipped by the proprietor, there
being barns and stabling from the most improved models, and
every care and attention is paid the worthy matrons. Taken
as a whole the new crop of foals at Poplar Grove Breeding
Farm are very far above the average seen at the ordinary
breeding places, the two sires having stamped the young
with their own great muscular power, and it is a treat to see
the immense bone and sinew that is characteristic of all the
young there. "No legs, no horse," is an old saying, but it
is safe to assert that there never was a better lot of legs under
young foals tnan can be seen at Mr. Straube's farm. In next
week's issue we will give a picture of Apex, 2:26, also the
property of the same gentleman, but as he is making the
season at the race track in Fresno, it will be more appropriate
to give his history in a separate sketch, at which time will
also be given a description-of the Fresno race track, over
whioh the $20,000 contest will take place this fall.

Trotting in Russia.

Mr. Walter Winans, an Eoglish gentleman who has a regard
for the American trotter, has a contribution on trotting in
Russia in Illustrations, an Eoglish periodical, that ia of inter-
est to American readers. Mr. Winans says in his article:
"In Moscow and St. Petersburg a horse, to be considered a
trotter, must trot three verats (about two miles) not slower
than at the rate of twenty miles an hour; in fact, that pace is
much too Blow to win races, where the time taken for the
three versts is often five minutes, or Iosb; that is at the rate
of over twenty-four miles an hour.

"In Russia three versts is the minimum distance trotted,
and a horse that oan trot the two miles in five minutes can
do one mile in a good deal less than half the time — say in two
minutes twenty-seven or eight seconds.

"The Russian raoiDg drosky is low and four wheeled, and
heavier than the American sulky, and the tracks are at least
three seconds slower than ours. So, in comparing the trot-
ters of the two nations, a Russian horse whioh trots two
miles in rive minutes is about equal to an American one that
trots a mile in two minutes and twenty seconds. * * * *
As three versts in six mum ten is the slowest a horse can go
to be oalled a trotter in Russia, the speed of a horse ie spoken
of there by the number of seconds less than three minutes
he takes to trot the distance in. For instance, if he can trot
it in 5:40, his speed is called 'without twenty,' that is, twenty
seconds off the six minutes. In the same way, a horse
which could trot in five minutes would be spoken of as 'with-
out a minnte' horse. The price of a horse keeps increasing
more and more as he can trot in 'less seconds,' till each sec-
ond almost doubles his price."

The Russians have taken to using American sulkiei, and
are discarding the native harness with the yoke, using instead
the ,;Dutoh collar."

The horses in their races, have each a track to themselves,
and if there are more than three horses in a race it has to be
trotted in heats. If a driver carries a whip he has to carry
extra weight. Three officials, besides the judgg, watch each
race, one for each horse; and if the horse he has to watch
breaks more than three times in a race, or gallops more than
a certain number of strides in a break, n mounted man iB

sent to order the driver to leave the track. This feature of
the Russian system of racing might be adopted in this country
with good effect.

Good Sale of Trotting Stock at Bay District
Track.

One of the most successful sales held on the coast was
conducted by Killip & Co., at the Bay District Track, last
Tuesday, when Frank Malone sold off his trotting stock.
All the prominent breeders and trottirjg men were repre-
sented, or were there in person. Amongst the latter were
Messrs. Salisbury, Corbett, Valensin, Holly, Wattles and
Capt. Griffin. The prices realized were very good on the
whole, and no fault could be found with the sale. Possibly the
first lot— the Eoho mare with foal by Director — would have
brought more had she been sold later, as Holly was anxious
to buy her, but arrived too late. Messrs. Killip and Chase
exhausted all their art and knowledge of human nature in
procuring the prices they did, and are to be congratulated on
the successful result attained.

Puntually on time, the first lot, a nine-year-old mare by
Echo, dam Thoroughbred, with a splendid bay suckling, one
month old, by Director at foot, was offered. The youngster
who attracted general admiration seemed a natural pacer
and certainly influenced the sale a good bit, for they were
rapidly bid np to $800, when Mr. Salisbury became the pur-
chaser.

The next lot a brown stallion, 5 years old, by Combination,
dam by Lexington, was sold a bargain to P. W. Sturgers, of
Oakland, for $385, which he was certainly worth for a
buggy horse. The third, a yearling colt by Combination out
of the Echo mare, was fairly sold to Mr, Whiteley for be
was thinnish and rather rough looking. Mr. Whiteley also
bought the next lot; a useful looking brown mare, 13 by
John Kelson, dam by Whipple's Hambletonian. Had she
been bred to a well known performer instead of lot 2, Bhe
would have brought much more than the $195, that Mr.
Whiteley gave for her. A yearling black colt was sold for
abont his value $75, while the brown gelding by Irvington
out of Arab's dam, looked dear at $305, for a twelve-year-old
gelding, although he has Dever had much work. Wood
Wattles bought him and also the next, a black, three-year-
old filly by Young Kisbar, dam by Altamont. She had
evidently been in the wire, for her off hind fetclock was very
much enlarged, and though it may not injnre her it will al-
ways be an eyesore. She seemed fairly Bold at $300.

Capt. Griffin bought the nest, a good-looting four-year-old
black mare by Altamont, after a sharp struggle with Sails-

got her. Hiram Cook gave $300 for a nioe-looking bay three-
year-old stallion by McAttee's Mambrino, dam young Miami.
He was cheap as far as looks go, but seemed to go too wide
behind. Capt. Griffin gave S200 for a bay mare, fall sister
to and a year older than the previous entry. He seemed
rather dear at the price, for he has a pretty big splint. Mr.
Keating gave $180 for a gray mare a year older thau the last.
She ought to make a uteful brood mare. Owing to an acci-
dent she was never put into harness, and has, from the
accident, a very enlarged hock, which seems to trouble her
but little, though. Qaite a Bpirited competition took plaoe
foT young M'ami and a bay suckling colt by Antee'i, Five
hundred was the Erst offer, and Mr. Wood Wattes was
enticed into giving $630 for the pair. After a sharp struggle
a two-year-old filly by Anteeo, dam young Miami, was sold to
Mr. Clay for $340, which seemed about its value, while the
last lot, a yearling, full sister to the preceding one, was much
stronger and more trotting like alt round, creating a wild
furore, for Valensin bid np to $450, when Holly and MacMa-
hon raised one another up to $680, when Mr. MaoMahon,
with a bid of $690, floored his opponents and took the pick
of the sale.

Singular Fancies in Horses.

Racehorses have enrious fancies sometimes, says an ex-
change, and they may affect the animals at a time when their
best efforts are wanted. Elkwood, who won the Suburban
Handicap last year, is one of these equine cranks, his pecu-
liarity being that he will not run on a track that is in the
least degree wet, even though a slight shower has fallen. On
such occasions Elkwood might as well be left in the barn for
all the running he will do, and this is why he was not Btarted
for the Brooklyn Handicap last year. Parole, the famous
gelding that went to England a dozen years ago and won so
many races, was a cranky horse, and his head was simply
full of odd notions. He learned, for instance, to know that
when the pail containing water was taken from his stall in
the morning, instead of being left in the corner, there was a
race on hand, aud he would fret himself into a lather over
the matter. The trotter Goldsmith Maid was exactly like
Parole in this reBpect. She knew, on account of her head
being tied up, that the day of a race had arrived, but for all
that she would stand quietly enough until afternoon, and
then, thinking it about time for the fun to begin, she would
plunge about in rather an alarming fashion.

When harnessed for a race the Maid would tremble like a
leaf until Budd D ,ble got into the sulkey, but once she was
headed for the gate all her nervousness was gone and she
began figuring how to beat her opponents. Sae was very
ounning about this, especially in the matter of scoring,
deolining to come to the wire unless she was on even terms
with the other horses, and many a false score has been
caused by her holding back because she thought she was
getting the woret of the send-off. That horses, or at least
some of them, know when men are drunk is not to be
doubted. Gen. Xorke, a thoroughbred that was owned by
one of the Lorillurds, was such a savage that it wbb unsafe
for even his attendant to go near him nnlesB provided with a
■tout Btick, but let a man whose breath Bmelled of liquor
enter the stall and Gen. Yorke was as quiet as a lamb.

The old-time trotter Gen. Grant, not the one with a record
of 2:21, but his predecessor by many years on the turf, was
another respector of people who had been indulging too
freely, although at o:her times he was ready to eat a man.
Fisherman, one of the most celebrated thoroughbreds of his
day in England, would not run well at the pole, not fancying
the fence, aud another trick of his was never to run well
when the suu was shining.no matter whether he waB out
for exercise or started in a race. A southerly wind and a
cloudy sky were what Fishermau wanted.

VETERINAEY.

The Control of Sex in Breeding.
I read with pleasure the interesting and also curiono «rH

0 e o£ the North British Agricnltarist8published ™yZ ed I
tlon of May 11th., and fully agree with the author when he
aays that the most of the theories propounded on the sub-
Jf 1116 nd!?ulou8 m the highest degree. 1 will even say
that they all, without exception, are very absurd and can
pass off easier for stable yarns than for serious theories

It must be admitted that if there is a law governing the
sex in breeding, it must equally apply to all species of ani-
mals, and even to those ot the lowest class.

Physiologists have admitted many years ago, that there
was no law controlling the sex in the offspring, but proved
that the sex depends solely upon the actual preponderance
of either male or female ai the time of copulation,- that the
preeminence of one nature over another "is established by
health, age, vigor, energy of constitution and natural devel-
opment. Any male with such advantage, will always re-
produce not only his sex, but also his strength, speed en-
durance, form and temper; which fact is well known to all
breeders of faBt hordes throughout the United States

The real mystery of the generation act has never been
fully discovered in spite of the most thorough observation of
the physiologists. It is well known that feoundation in all
species of animals, ib accomplished by the intimate union of
the male spermatozoa to the germ of the female- but it
was so far entirely impossible to tind out how their union iB
established, in short how these animalcules copulate Soience
oould not go further and the final act of fecundation is still a
mystew.

Phis article recalls to my memory a similar discussion
which took place in the Accademie des Sciences of Paris
France, about thirty years ago, when an old, venerable gen-
tleman earnestly advised his medical confreres to investioate
the mysteries of nature upon themselves and their families
adding, however, that it was a very delicate matter for a man
to expose In public the secrets of married life. But as he
was advanced in years, he would not refrain from communi-
cating his personal experience on that question. Imbued
with the truth of the above physiological law, he expressed
to his educated wife his desire to investigate this matter for
the benefit of science, and succeeded in obtaining her con-
sent. The result was as he wished— two sons and a daugh-
ter. °

This same principle was taken np immediately by scien-
tific agriculturists, and a few yearu latei, in 1861 or 1862
I read in French Agricultural papers, several reports of suc-
cessful experiments made by an aristocratic breeder of fine
oattle. Wishing to obtain a bull calf from a cow that was a
great producer of rich, creamy milk, he tied a common bull
with that cow for several days to keep her sexual organs per-
manently excited, and when he thought her nature suffici-
ently weakened, he gave her the service of a strong, vigorous
bull, and obtained a bull calf. For the following years he
succeeded in raising, at will, heifers from the same cow by
putting her to the bull on the very Hrst day she came in heat.
Several other breeders confirmed the truth of this principle
by proceeding in the same manner with horses as well aB
cattle and swine.

1 have never since that time read any further details upon
that question, but can draw from daily life sufficient evidence
to prove the same facts.

Many instances are found where a man of old age and weak
constitution marries a young, robust wife, and the family will
count all daughters, or more daughters than sons. All sheep
raisers know well that adult ewes in good health and condi-
tion will bring more ewe lambs than bucks, while a, vigorous
adult ram, turned out with a Bmall number of young ewes or
old, weak, sickly sheep, will produce more bucks than
females.

I know of an old Blut, covered by a young, large St. Ber-
nard dog, that gave birth to six male pups, all resembling
their sire in color and size.

In some years we hear that m >re fillieB are born than
horse colts, while in others their numbers are about even. A
close investigation of the breeding books of our great estab-
lishments might give some very interesting information in
regard to that matter. Mr. Heplar, of the Laymo Banch,
near Santa Bosa, raised last year, from nine mares six horse
colts; while this year the same nine mares, bred to' the same
stallion, brought one horse colt to eight fillies, and he never
could see any difference in the condition of hie horse. Nat-
ure always has, and forever will, perform acts that cannot be
explained by the most acute human intellect, and whenever
the above physiological prinoiple does not find application,
all efforts to obtain further light about the mysterious ways
of nature will be made in vain.

The artiole of the N. Br. Agriculturalist speaks very hghly
of the only reasonable theory so far, promulgated by a Ger-
man and American physician, namely, that the right testis
and the right ovary produce male sperm and male germ,
while the organs of the left side produce the female sex, and
that the seed of one side would not impregnate that of the
other side. The experiments those gentlemen have made to
test the accuracy of that theory have given them results that
they declare are in accordance with tbeir theory. In evi-
dence they report the following case: There have been for
several yearB among the horses of a Danish regiment, in spite
of all endeavors, some pregnant steeds after tbe time of
pasture. It was known that this had been the case Beveral
times at the same season, and the watch was particularly
active, no strange horse having been admitted to the pasture
grounds. At last they found that among the horses of the
regiment there was an old stallion whose right teBtiole had
heen taken out, and also the foals generated by him were
fillies." In all certainty that old horse was a ridgling whose
left testicle was located in the abdomen, and consequently
was not a potent breeder, and unable to cope in vigor and
constitutional strength with healthy mares in full possession
of complete sexual organs. These gentlemen were most
certainly mistaken; besides, I oan refute that theory by
Beveral reliable, existing facts. Dr. Sheares, of Santa Rosa,
who has served as physician in the War of the Rebellion,
knows of a soldier who lost the right testicle by a bullet shot
to have raised five children, of which three are boys. I know
in Santa Bosa a man of middle age and good, robust health,
who lost his right testicle while a young man, married,
and with but the left testicle glorifies in the possession of
three children, all three boys. Almost any physician through-
out the country could report some oases to refute this
irrational theory. I can merely wonder how the world could
exist thousands of years without making .a good, practical
use of this theory if it was true.

The owners of large cattle ranches, for instance, who wish
to stop the too rapid increase of stock, instead of Bpaying
the heifers in full, wouhj only remove the left ovary from a
certain number of cows, in order to obtain only bull oalves
that would, in time, make steers for the market.

increase of rabbits in the Fresno and Kern counties, is a
prima facie evidence that the jackrabbit is not guilty of any
mistakes of that nature. J

The mode of fecundation of fish spawn would be another
nstance against that theory, for in this case the fecundation
is accomplished without the concours of either male or fe-

The first of them of which I have any recollection was Har-

the brst horses ever sold in an auction pool-Dr. Underwood
being the originator of that system of pooling. Mr Harper
was a close man, and, like a good many before him and manv
after him he never started with the best blood, nor until the
Iat er part of his life ever patronized a high-priced stallion,
but bred to his own stock. (By-the-by, this is a great error
generally among breeders. No one oan make a mistake in

John to breed Nantura and Fanny Holton to Leamington;
that if it had not been for him, Buford, Nantura, and Fanny

But let that go I know this, and 1 think a good many will

that either Lexington or Endorser ever sired. And this puts
me m mind of the great cup race at Saratoga between Long-

did not see the race, but I heard and read a great deal about
it at the time, and among other things I heard this, that the
odds were in favor of Longfellow a thousand to six hundred
a°d" large majority of the New Yorkers were sticking to'
Fisher at these odds,

Now, Uncle John was a very close-mouthed man as regard-
ed hie horses, and there was no possible way to pump him
But the night before the race there was a grand ball, and
Uncle Jonn at that time was a famous character at Saratoga
He was invited, of course, and went through mere curiosity'
It is needless to say that there were many beautiful women
in attendance from all sections of the country, and the young
and pretty ones wished to be introduced to the Kentuckian

and he was soon surrounded by many beauties with their
attendant gallants. The old gentleman was modest, but he
was both p eased and charmed at the attention paid him On
being asked about his family, he smilingly said that he had
none; that he had, in fact, come to Saratoga not so much for
the purpose of racing as to get him a wife. In the meantime
the gaUants commenced to twit the old gentleman about the
race. One of them said, "Uncle John, they say that King-
fiBher is going to' beat Longfellow to-morrow " "Well I
d-o-n-t k-n-o-w about it," said Unole John, slowly "Weil "
replied another "Everybody says so." "Well," replies
Uncle John "if Fisher beats Longfellow to-morrow he'll
have to run from tend to eend." "

These fellows were trying to pump him, and there was
nothing to be learned from these answers; so one of them
asked him how fast he thought Kingfisher could run a mile
and Uncle John said that he thought that Fisher could run a
mile in about 1:41. (The fastest mile at this time was Her-
zogs 1 :43 at Cincinnati.) So you can imagine the consterna-

as I said last week, still in Oakland, and has no intention at
present of going East.

The Bard is to be sent to Mr. Cassatt's farm at Chester-
brook, all hopes of his coming into racing form again having
been abandoned.

There has been a first-class mile track built at Port Towns,
end, W. T., and now the citizens of that Bea port anticipate
good racing in the near future.

Isaac Murphy, as everyone knows, has been re engaged to
ride for E. J, Baldwin, but the salary has been heretofore a
secret. $7,000 is the price that the dusky jock gets for his
season's work.

Kingston, Canada, will enjoy two days' racing shortly. On
the programme there is a mile and a quarter and repeat, first
money $90, and ten per cent, entrance at that.

Mr. Shields, a well known livery stable proprietor of
Fresno, lost a valuable mare last week from paralysis. She
was by Rustic out of an American star mare.

The direr-tors of the Twelfth Agricultural Association met
lately at Ukiah and decided to hold their annual fair in
October, from the 1st to the 5th inclusive.

Matt Storn's LeGrande colt goes up to Sacramento on
Tuesday next with Beveral trotting mares. Matt will be aeen
later in the week behind the aristocratic two-year-old in a
Brewster with — ?

Hyder Ali, the sire of Spokane, now the property of J. B.
Haggin, was formerly owned by a Mr, Lyon of Toronto, and
although his services were peddled through three counties at
a $10 fee, there was not business enough io pay the expenses.

Sensation, the trotter that won such renown last season,
will be taken East when the Haggin horses go early in June.
His owner, Mr. Keating, will trot him through the Eastern
circuit.

Valuable was going to break a record a few weeks ago, but
as Boon as she got into Campbell's hands she began "crab-
bing" like the whole stable.

The fastest time made so far in 18S9 at three-quarters of a
mile, is 1:14; Ban Cloche being the fleet sprinter to accom-
plish the feat, two weeks ago to-day at Brooklyn.

Sunol has never been harnessed since Marvin left for the
East, having been turned out every fine day to grass in a
paddock. How do these canards originate?

The Duke of Portland, gives promise of being the largest
winner in the world this year. He has already won more
money in stakes this year, than J. B. Haggin won in America
all last season.

I have received word from Crab Orchard, Ky., that Heron
was not as badly injured as many supposed, in the car acci-
dent, and that his owner Mr. Guest, is in hopes that he will
be able to race him again before long.

The Bard has a splint on the inside of one of his fore legs-
Dr. Sheppard hopeB to do something with it. French Park
has also developed a splint. Earns has sprung a curb, and
Green Morris' Panama is lame.

C. J. Hamlin of Buffalo, N. Y., ofters to trot his Electioneer
colt Chimes, ag*inBt either Bell Boy or St. Bel, for any rea-
sonable amount of money. What a great pity it is' that
Hamlin never puts up a forfeit when he makes his windy
propositions.

"Snapper" Garrison won the Brooklyn cup and $2000
with Marauder, May 25th, at Gravasend, beating Hanover
and Elkwood, one mile and a half, in 2:42*. Hanover was
a hot favorite. The track was heavy.

Several weeks ago, I mentioned that Joe Narvice had been
telegraphed for, to rejoin the Hearst stable at Sheepshead
Bay. Narvice gave me the information himself, but the boy
told a deliberate lie, as Matt Allen will not have him at any
price, and has not sent for him.

The second dam of the famous race colt Proctor Knott waB

Trustee. Lightsome, bred to Alexander's Abdallah, pro-
duced Fadette, dam of the stout campaigner Favonia (2:15),

We learn from Mr. Levi S. Gould that the evidence
gathered by him concerning the breeding of Waxy has con-
vinced S. D. Bruce, compiler of the "American Stud Book,"
that she was by Lexington out of a daughter of Gray Eagle,
and she will be so recorded.

"Bell Boy's first foal was dropped at Paris, K}., April 17th. 1
His owner, James E. Clay, writes as follows: "He is a bright
bay* with star in forehead, white hind ankles, a very speedy
formed colt and of good size."

Albert Cooper will start for Chicago on Monday next with
Loais P., Gladstone, and two three-year-old fillies lately pur-
chased from W. H. Boots. In the same car Kelly will take
Flood Tide, Geraldine and Abdiel, also having charge of one
of B. C. Holly's mare's, probably Nancy.

Killip & Co. have for sala b'O bead of short horn cattle from j
one of the very best herds in the State, which they want to
dispose of at private sale. Mr. K. assures me that the price
asked for them is lower by far than the same class of oattle

It is estimated that at least a quarter of a million of dol-
lars changed hands on the morning of the Great American
Stakes, by St. Carlo, May *j3d; $15,450 were bet in the mut-
uals, between $7,000 and $S,000 in the auction pools, and
the balance in the books.

American Consul Griffin at Sydney, Australia, in his report
to the Department of State, says a disease known as anthrax
or splenetic apoplexy, which for so many years has been de-
vastating herds of cattle in New South Wales and in Fair
Way, are being very effectually checked by Pasteur's system
of inoculation.

Lee Shaner has finally settled down to hard work at Peta-
luma track and is daily exercising a large string of trotters
and pacers. He has an exceeding promising yearling pacer,
from which great things are expected. Mr. Whitney has al-
so turned over to Mr. Shaner the well known trotter Dawn
2:19i, and will have him prepared to make a very low record
this season.

Porter Ashe who returned from Lake County last week, is
wonderfully eulogistic when speaking of the Langtry Farms
stud, which he Bays is very nicely situated with abundance
of fresh green feed. He seems unable to decide which of
the horses on that or the Guenoc Farm is the best, their
breeding being exceptional in each case, while their looks
are surpassed by none he has seen.

My old friend Capt. Thos. B. Merry, formerly editor of the
Portland Oregonian and Portland Sunday Mercury, has
accepted the position of editor of The Helena Daily Journal,
and started on his new work. The Montana folks will find
Tom well up in horse matters, and at the same time one of
the best general newspaper writers in America,

Jos. Cairn Simpson will once more enter the turf arena.
Work will be commenced on Monday with two mareB and
Kathbone. The latter has been getting all his work to sulkey.
One of the mares is a three-year-old tilly by Joe Hooker, dam
Lady Viva by Three Cheers, out of Lady Amanda. She has
been in Appleby's charge for some time. The other mare, a
five-year-old bv Double Cross— Eliza by Norfolk, is a big,
racy looking chestnut. Charles Sibley (Spanish Charley),
will, under Mr. Simpson, prepare the trio for the fall.

Patrons of the pool-roonio imuugnout the country will not
have the pleasure of listening to a description of races read
off to them in the future. Tbey will not lose a great deal by
the change, as the descriptions they usually received were
about as near correct as an ordinary frequenter of the rooms
might gueBB at if they were familiar with the peculiarities of
the competing horses. — Sporting World.

W. J. Fitzpatrick has entered into contract to ride the
heavy weight division for D. D. Withers. This is a good
engagement. "Fitz" looks well in the all-black and the
chances are that be will not lack riding winners, especially
during the Monmouth meeting, when Hanrahan will be bet-
ter able to look after the Brookdale horBes. At present they
are seriously handicapped by his ill-health.

Visitors to Palo Alto say that Flambeau 2d (Wild Idle-
Flirt) is a speedier youngster than Bacine, although he is half
brother to Gorgo, I doubt it, for be is too leggy, and does
not show half the quality the black mare does. Possibly
with time he will be a race-horse, but at present he looks too
backward. Glenloch (Flood — Glendew) is my favorite; a
race-horse all over, and built like a stayer, too. Whenever
the Bister to Guenn faces the starter look on t for her and don't
let her run loose.

"Galen, the well-known three-year-old owned by the
Chicago Stable, was named for Claudius Galen, the re-
nowned Roman physican. He flourished during the reign
of AureliuB, and was the author of more medical works than
any writer of ancient timeB."

The person who wrote the above evidently forgot the fact
that the present Galen is running in the days of another
"Aurelius" who haa contributed more first-claBs horse arti-
cles to sporting journals than any writer of modern times.

The directors of the Plumas, Lassen and Modoc Agricul-
tural Association, have issued a very attractive programme
for a five days meeting at Quincy, Plumas Co., commencing
Sept. 23d. There are twelve trotting races on the card, and
eleven running contests. Wherever the races are for dis-
trict horseB only, animals owned in Washoe Co., Nev, Lake
and Grant Counties, Oregon, and Butte Co., Cal., will be
eligible to start. The purses amount to $10,000 in all.

In Napa Wilkes, Mr. A. F. Baker, of Fresno, has a very
fine stallion and one that was very fast, before he got his an-
kle hurt. Napa Wilkes has made a good showing in the
stud and already has several promising colts. Mr. Baker
also has mares by a son of Bashaw, Rustic, Electioneer,
Eugene Casserly, Petaluma, McClellan, Navigator, Aithur-
ton and Abbottsford. With this good beginning Mr. Baker
should produce in the near future, some good youngsters.

Mr. Armstrong was offered $25,000 for the winner of the
Kentucky Derby and the Clark Stakes by ex-Mayor Nolan of
Albany, owner of the Beverwick Stables. This Mr. Arm-
strong declined, and, pressed to fix a price on the horse, he
put it at $40,000, at which figure he hopes Mr. Nolan will
refuse to buy. Spokane will run at Chicago, Kansas City
and St. Paul, and then be taken East for the meetings at
Monmonth, Westchester and Coney Island, where he has a
number of engagements.

The suit ordered by the citizens of Spokane Falls for the
great horse named after their city consists of a ;blanket and
hood of blue Bilk plush, trimmed with yellow satin, with yel-
low satin ornaments of exquisite design in the corners. The
lettering on the blanket will be raised embroidered letters in
gold thread and silk, and will be as follows: "Spokane.
Presented by the Citizens of Spokane Falls, W. T." Some
idea of the expense of this beautiful momento can be formed,
when we say that the embroidery of the lettering alone will
cost abDut one hundred dollars. The colors used are those
of the Moutana'.Stable.

A horse in Detroit wears spectacles. The farmer that
owned him having come to the conclusion, Irom various
symptoms, that the animal was short-sighted, got an occulist
to take the necessary measurements, and had a pair of spec-
tacles manufactured for him. Tbey are made to fasten
firmly into the headstall, so that they do not shake out of
place. At first the horse appeared Btartled by this addition
to his harness, but he Boon got used to his glasses, and liked
them. "If fact," Bays his owner, "when I turn him out to
-pasture be feel* uneasy and uncomfortable without his gog-
gles, and last Sunday he bang around the barn and whinnied
so plainly that I put his headstall and goggles on him, and
he was so glad that he rubbed my shoulder with his nose.
Then he kicked up his heels and danced down the pasture."
He could see what he was going to eat then.

Only five of the famous brood mares in the country are out
of the dams of 2:20 trotters, they being Beatrice (dam of
Patron, 2:14i), whose dam proouced Elvira, 2:18A ; Lady
Banker (dam of Guy Wilkea, 2:15£), whose dam procured
Joe Bunker. 2:19J; Belle Patchen (dam of Baron Wilkes,
2:18), whoBe dam procured Proteine, 2:18; Sable (dam of
Saole WilkeB, 2:18), whose dam produced Romero, 2:19£; and
Susie (dam of DeBarry 2:19i), whose dam produced Nettie,
2:18.

Mr. Henry C. Judson, the noted breeder, came np from
the Wildidle Farm, Santa Clara Co., last week, and on Satur-
day last paid us a very pleasant visit. He seems to have the
true idea of the utility of a thoroughbred horse, viz., that
ontside of racing propositions, a thoroughbred sire can be
used to great advantage for crossing with all classes of horseB,
and thereby produces a horse with more stamina and cour-
age, with, at the same time, if judiciously mated, plenty of
strength. Mr. Judson's object in calling on us was to have
his name and address published in oar Breeder's Directory;
every breeder in the State ought to recognize and utilize this
useful department of the paper, bringing as it does all breed-
ers and would-be purchasers into contact.

The Hon. Jas. White, satiated with success, is looking for
fresh fields to conquer and will send to England early in
June Carlyon, Cranbrook, Abercorn and several two-year-
olds. The three named horses are four-year-olds, all well
known successful performers on the Australian turf, while
among the juveniles two are entered in the Derby of )S90.
Mr. White's great desire now is to win the English Derby,
and of late he has been breeding a few of his best mares to
English time. It is stated on very good authority that he has
arranged with Matthew Dawson to handle his colts and fit
them for the fray. No one better could be obtained for the
purpose, aB the ruddy-cheeked Newmarket trainer has experi-
ence and judgment second to no man's.

The steamship Baltimore, fiom Liverpool, arrived at Balti-
more May 4th, having on board the thoroughbred stallion St.
George, foaled 1883, by Cremorne, out of Strategy, Bhe by
Adventurer, out of Minerva, by Stockwell. As a two-year-
old he ran three times, of which second for the Prendergast
Stakes at Newmarket was his best performance. He ran five
times as a three-year-old, winning the Visitor's Handicap, at
96 pounds, over the Bretby StakeB course, and the Stand
Handicap, with the same weight, over the last five furlongs
of the Ancaster mile, both at Newmarket. As a four-year-
old he ran seven times without winning, while last year out
of nine starts he won four times, viz.: W heath am stead Stakes
at Harpenden. a high weight selling handicap at Sandown, a
Gentlemen Riders' Plate at Kempton, carrying 168 pounds,
and the Cromwell Plate at Huntington, carrying 147 pounds.
The last race was at a mile. St. George is owned by Mr.
Edward Barber, who will take him to Warrenton, Va.

At Latonia, May 28th, the noted racer Proctor Knott, pride
of Kentucky, was again beaten. The race is not to the
swift, sure enough, in case some other racer is swifter in the
finish. This i3 what has happened once more to Proctor
Knott. Until these defeatB, regarded as invincible upon
the American turf, Come-to-Taw, ridden by the African
jockey graced with an Irish name — Murphy — has now placed
the namesake of the noted Kentucky statesman who gave
celebrity to the proud city of Dulntb, by his humorous
speech in Congress years ago, in the lear of the procession
of the equines which have made their names famous in turf
registers; and if anybody now cares to offer $30,000 for
Proctor Knott— as the story went early in the spring of such
an offer — it Is probable that the particular anybody can
become the owner on payment of a much less sum. Come-
to-Taw and Longfish both beat Proctor Knot in the race of
one mile and one-eighth, in the not remarkable time of 1:58$.

Ayrshire won easily by three-quarters of a length. His
fortunate owner has now won the two big money races of
the year. The other race, Prince of Wales Stakes, for three-
year-olds, at Leicester, won by Donovon, was worth £11,000
to the winner. Seabreeze, who ran second, is by the same
sire as Senator Hearst's black mare Gorgo. Senator Stan-
ford at one time tried to obtain him, but his owner,
Fred Gretton (partner in Bess & Co.), refused to put a price
on him. After his death Isonomy was sold for, I think
£8,000, but the Senator evidently missed hi ; chance.

At the Oakland Track.

There are but few thoroughbreds (runners) now on the Oak-
land track, the trotters evidentty holding full sway there.
On the inside of the track the feed has rapidly disappeared.
No wonder, with upwards of a hundred mares and eolts, and
every one having mares aDd foals pastured there have to use
hay and grain with a lavish hand in order to keep their
stock improving and growing instead of retrograding. Old
Three Cheers in his box in the rear of the stand looks as
young and plajftil as a kitten, showing only the faintest
traces of his age, and it is a great pleasure to see that at last
the old horse is being well cared for and also getting a fair
amount of choice mares, among whom are Eosetta, a fall
sister to Daisy D., who lias a very Dice colt by him at her
side, with all the Newminister characteristics showing promi-
nently in the blood like head and neck, with general racy
appearance.

Sophie, a chestnut mare by Bazar, with dam by Jack
Malone, grand dam by Glencoe, and great granddam by
Priam, ought to be hard to beat as a brood mare. She has a
colt at foot by Joe DanielB, which takes after the old four-
miler in general appearance, being a chestnut with exactly
the same markings as he has, and with that wiry thorough-
bred stamp that carried him so successfully through his
career. The colt ought to race for another reason. Joe
Daniels is by Australian, and in Sophie you find the same
cross just far enough removed, her sire Bazar being out of an
Australian mare.

Before leaving Three Cheers I cannot help remarking on
the lack of horse-lore which allowed a horse bred as he is to
be so long neglected, his sire being by Newminster (the most
sought after strain of blood in the world), out of Jovial by
Bay Middleton, who always produced speed, which is now
what we want, while young Lashin, his dam, possesses the
stoutest strains of racing blood in America, being by Mon-
arch (Priam-Delphine by Whisker), out of the celebrated
Fashion, the great four-mile heat mare; she was by Cotton,
dam Emma by "Whisker.

Had it not been for Almont and Applause probably the old
horse would never have had the chance he now has of leaying
a name behind him. Applause is being given easy work at
present, and looks very well, and with luck ought to again
earn a bracket. Mr. Simpson gives Rathbone plenty of work
to a sulky, and he seems to stund it well, and may perhaps
be brought to the post that way in better condition than with
a heavy boy exercising him.

Among the trotters Jas. Dustin has a large string under
his care, and with all due consistency I will give the prize
of place to Almont Patchen, pacer, record 2:15, "who joined
his string last Tuesday, after a short season in the stud at
San Jose. The brown horse looks wonderfully well, and
with average luck will lower his record two or three seconds
this season. At present, of course, he is big, and is only
doing slow work, with an occasional brush. Gns Wilkes',
record 2:22, is an aged gelding who has been moved rather
fftsi lately. On Wednesday morning I saw him sent an easy
mile in 2:58. He will be campaigned again this season.
Maggie E., 2:19£, is the well-known bay niaru that Donothan
had in charge. Her back now looks all right, and she ought
to lower her record a notch or two, for on Tuesday she beat
21, going within herself all the way. Addie is a three-year-
old, sister to Adair. She is a beautiful bay, wilh a square,
even gait, and shows quarters easily in 40 seconds. She is
the property of Ariel Lathrop. J. K. is a three-year-old
brown gelding by Richard's Elector. Judging from his style
of going and a beat I saw him wore:, he ought to get well
inBide thirty this fall. A three-year-old black filly by Direc-
tor has the old horse's style of going, and though she has
only had a little work, shows great promise. A four-year-old
green pacer by Cresco ought to make things lively before the
next oampaign ends, while the aged stallion by Administra-
tion has only been jogged, but shows a square, even gait.
The Anteeo three-year-old is bound to trot, and already has
compassed the back quarter in 39 seconds. Rebecca, a three-
year-old daughter of Elector, is moving very well without a
suspicion of breaking. The last three in the string are
Dastin's own property, and consist of a two-year-old bay
colt by Elector, dam by John Nelson out of a thoroughbred
mare, who can now trot a half in 1:20; a yearling bay colt by
Dexter Prince, dam Bessie, by Gen. McClelland, who shows
great promise; the last is a two-year-old bay colt by Memo-
randum (three-year-old record 2:35), dam Edna (three-year-
old record 2:35). by Nephew. He is a very racy-looking
colt, and though very inbred, as his sire and dam are by
Nephew, Bhould soon repay his owner the cost of keeping.

Sam Gamble has the beautiful stallion Noonday in splen-
did stud condition, but as he has still Borne mares to serve he
is only getting steady jogging exercise. Sam says he is
making a highly successful season, very few of his mares
coming back. A. L. Hinds has five in exceptionally good
condition, of which Balkan, the big brown four-year-old
stallion by Mambrino Wilkes, dam a thoroughbred mare,
has a three-year-old record of 2:294, which he ought to easily
lower to twenty, as he is going in'grand style just now. He
also has a very pretty bay filly by Steinway, dam by Election-
eer, who cannot help trotting. All of Mr. Hinds' string are
the property of Irviu Ayres. Cricket is a nve-yeer-old bay
mare by Brigadier, with a record of 2:32, which she can lower
without any difficulty. Clara P. is another tive-year-old, by
Mambrino Wilkes, and it is hoped she will beat 2:35 and thus
make her standard. Veronica, a live-year-old Mambrino
Wilkes, will be driven for a record this fall. She is now
standard. Kanlbar, a black three-year-old stallion, also by
Mambrino Wilkes, and out of a Drew McClelland mare, is
one of the purest-gaited trotters on the track. The last of
Hinds' lot is a four-year-old bay gelding, brother to Gus
Wilkes, who ought soon to have a record approaching his
brother's, for he trots in a wonderfully business like manner.
Dick Havey has Fleet, Valensin's speedy two-year-old,
who looks wonderfully improved by her rest this winter, and
a Sidney yearling out of a Crown Point mare who is one of
the purest-gaited troiters I ever saw. Old Bonanza looks
very well. Haverly is working on the road.

Palmer has five norsea, all of whom have only had easy
work as yet. The first is a five-year-old Anteeo gelding,
who looks very racy and h.ts a nice, even gait. The four-
year-old gray colt, New Gifford, is wonderfully like his sire,
Director, with the exception of a curb on Mb near hind leg.
The tive-year-old bay gelding by Abbotsford, dam by Signal,
has only just been taken up, but is shaped like a trotter all
over. The three-year-old gray filly by Director, out of a
Paddy McGee mare, is a trotter sore, as is her half brother
by Autevolo, who is one of the most even trotters, for a
youngster, ever seen on a track.

John Rowen has a four-year-old gelding by Sidney, own
brother to toe two-year-old purchased by Robtrt Bonner at
the Vulensin sale this spring, who, although he haB had no
work, has yet shown some very lively quarters. St. Nicholas,

four-year-old, by Sidney, dam by Echo, a beautiful bay
stallion, whose picture we gave last year, has improved in
appearance, if that were possible. He has made a highly
successful stason at the -tad, though he has had rather too
many mares, but Mr. Rowen says that thirty of them only
took the horse once, so that if the other twenty do not come
bank again he will not be very hard worked. Mutt Storn's
colt, by Le Grand, is a big, strong, leggy colt, and ought to
be rested for a year any way. Matt will probably drive him
in his boggy this summer. Memo, who is also in Rowen's
charge, looks in the pink of condition and has had a highly
successful season. His leg looks as though it would stand
hard work Again, being, to all outward appearances, ae sound
as a bell. Johnny Goldsmith will prepare him for a record,
which oueht to be well insioe twenty, as he has repeatedly
gone the full mile many seconds better than thirty, and last
fall, on trial, compassed the track in 2:20J.

Mr. Simpson is daily driving his Antevolo youngsters, one
of whom looks as though he would rival the old horse, from
his steady way of going and great gameness. Mike Mac-
Manns has ten under his care. Old PerhelioD, 2:25, is going
very well just now, and will probably be out for blood at
Eureka, and then go through the circuit; so will the three-
year-old pacer by Sidney, a grand chestnut mare with a
silver main and tail, who is one of the quickest movers on
the track. King David, five-year-old Day stallion, Kale
Castleton, a six-year-old bay mare {a beauty), and;Thora B., a
two-year-old bay filly, are all by Admiral, dam Flory, dam
of Sister and Huntress, and must surely trot for the jog in
true trotting style; Scala, a three-year-old half sister to them,
is by Director, and haa her sire's well-known characteristics,
while a grand yearling bay tilly by Sidney, dam by Del Sur,
can beat 2:50 now. *

MoManu6 also has a five year old bay horse by Speculator,
dam a thoroughbred mare who goes in good shape, and a
three year old brown colt by Sidney, dam by G. M. Patchen,
Jr., who trots from the word go. Just outside the traok, in
a beautiful situation well shaded by trees, Dennis Gannon
has his habitat, and when building operations are completed
will have about twenty roomy box stalls. His charges have
up to dow only had easy work, not being rushed, as there is
plenty of time before the fairs commence. He has four four-
year-olds, viz., a gray pacer by Kansas Central, who is a big,
raogy, green horse, and evidently very speedy; a good look-
ing bay mare by Fleetwood; a bay horse by Anteeo, who has
only been driven on the road, but is liable to do well on the
track, and a useful looking black gelding by Monroe Chief;
two three year olds by Director, one a big gray mare who
cannot help trotting; the other a good looking black colt who
trots as squarely as his well known sire, and if his off fore
leg does not bother him will go a lively clip before the fall;
tive two year olds, three of whom are Antevolos, very stylish
looking, and for what little work they have had, speedy; an-
other of the youi gsters is by Anteeo's dam by Geo. M.
Patchen, Jr. A nice bay tilly, though with rather upright
po6ture. The other two year old is a Steinway colt, who
was unfortunately badly knocked about on the cars, but is
rapidly recovering. John Buckley has under Gannon's care
a grand looking bay seven year old mare by Dave Hill, Jr.,
with a thoroughbred look about her, who will, without
doubt, trot in 2:30 before loDg. Mr. Gannon's stallion
Grover looks well, and has had a very fair season at the stud;
his exercise is principally taken in the corral; he will prob-
ably be put into work shortly.

One of the most interesting features of the Gannon resi-
dence are the game chickens, principally Irish Grays, with
an occasional quarter Jap. Probably one or two of them
will be pitted this fall against some of their San Jose feath-
ered confreres. I suppose it would be high treason to at-
tempt to obtain possession of one or two — they aresuoh pets.

Thoroughbred Blood in Trotters.

Hider Ali, the tire of Spokane, the winner of the Kentucky
Derby and Clark Stakes a short time since, was out of Lady
Duke, by Lexington, says the Cultivator. Lady Duke also
produced Rysdyk, sire of Clingstone, 2:1-4. Spokane, since
he defeated Proctor Knott, is regarded as about the best three-
year-old that has yet appeared. All who are acquainted with
the trottiDg history of the past few years know how great a
horse Clingstone is. Here are two great performers, the one
a runner, the other a trotter, the sires of both being out of
the same mare, aud she of course, a thoroughbred, for no
mare otherwise bred could produce the sires of two great per-
formers at the running and trotting gaits. Nor is the case of
Spokane and Clingstone an isolated one. Lightsome, by
imported Glencoe, second dam Levity by imported Trustee,
and third dam by imported Tranby, bred to Alexander's
Abdallah, produced Fadette, and she in time became the
mother of fcavonia, 2:15. Lightsome, bred to imported
Bonny Scotland, produced that great race-horse, Luke Black-
burn, and he got Proctor Knott, one of the present stars of
the runniug turf. Waxy, by Lexington, produced the great
race mare, Alpha, 1:45, and her daughter, Waxanda, is dam
of the ineomparalle Sunol, two-year-old record 2:1S. The
list is a long one, and could be continued indefinitely. The
several instances mentioned above are conspicuous examples
and furnish a subject pregnant with suggestive truths to
breeders who are willing and able to think for themselves,
draw their own conclusions and act upon them.

How Hamilton Won the Erooklyn-

After the great handicap had been run at Gravesend, a
reporter had achat with jockey Hamilton as follows:

"You see, Mr. Lakeland, he never gives me no orders. He
never says nothin' at all 'cept, 'You better win dat race, you
black rascal, an' ef ye don't I'll break evt-ry bone in yer black
body.' An' then I says, T always does my best' — as he
knows

"I jes 'lowed dat horse Prince Royal needed a lookin' at,
an' I kep' a-lookin' at him." 'You ain't a-gwine to get away
from me, Mr. Royal,' I sez to myself. I didn't know we
was off when de flag went down. We had had free break-
aways, an' me and Prince we kep' close up. Whenever
Prince went I went. When I got off I says: 'Urn, Mr. Exile
got to git along; can't stan' no mo' foolin,' Mr. Exile; got to
hump yo'self.' "

'•Why did yon let Juggler and Hanover get such a start
on you going round the turn?" was asked.

"I never gave no notion to 'em," was Hamilton's reply. I
said: 'No sellin' plater from Clifton ken come over here and
beat Mr. Lakeland's horse;' an' I jes laid low an' watched ole
Royal. He was tbt only other horse in the race for me. I
let out a warp goin' ronnd de turn when I see Royal creepin'
up. *You can't fool me, Mr. Royal,' I sez; 'I am a layin'
low.' "

•'When did you begin the run and give your horse bis
head?" asked a "bookie" wtjo had joined the group.

"Royal, he came a bobbin' ud around de back streteh an'
I jes' came a bobbin' up 'longBide Roval. Me an' Royal
^ame around together. Then I let old E*xile have his head.
'Good-bye, Mr. Royal,' I sez. I nearly died a laffin' when I
see Mr. Garrison a whippin' an' a spittin' an' a swearin.'
Why, ole Exile jes' made a monkey of him. 'Come on, my
Exile,' I sez, ez I guv 'im the gaff, an' I knowed then it was
all over fer Mr. Royal.

"You didn't draw the whip," suggested a listener admir-
ingly.

"Whip!" exclaimed the little darkey, with infinite scorn
'Them horseB of Mr. Lakeland ain't that kind. None o
of 'em need a whip when it comes to winnin' from cattle like
yov got here. I jes1 poked my knees up into his shoulders
an' kind of lifted him up an sez, 'Come on!1 an' Exile humped
hisself. Never saw such a horse! AH you got to do is to
talk right to him, and he'll do anything you want him to do.
If I had said. 'Hop along, ole man, you got to break dat
record to-day,' he'd a done it. I like a horse you kin talk
ter, not an old fool like Terra Cotta. what haint got no more
sense than a fool nigger."

"You didn't think you were going to win, did you ?" asked
the reporter.

"I knowed I wer," was the sententious reply. "Yon
don't raise 'em around here good enough to beat Mr. Lake-
land," and proud of himself, proud of his horse, and proud
of his employer, little Hamilton strutted off.

The Fish Com'iiiesioners.

That disregard of the law which comes from the neglect of
the officers of the law — those who are charged with its
observance and upon whom devolve its administration and
execution — should be taken into consideration whenever a
transgressor is brought to answer. The prevalence of that
spirit which commonly appears as disposition to ignore
official recognition of the infraction and as purpose to abstain
from prosecution, eventuates in general heedlessness and
contempt for the law itself, and it falls into the category of
obsolete or dead laws. To this condition the game laws of
California have nearly fallen. It is not a case of innocuous
desuetude, for the harm wrought is material to all and
exasperating to every lover of the sports of stream, and held,
and woods. The fault is not in the law — that is remedial and
adequate. It is attributable mainly to the officers specially
appointed for the purpose of commanding its observance,
who are amply empowered to make provision for its useful-
ness, to guard against its infraction, and bring transgressors
to the penalties allotted.

Under the game laws of California provision is made for
the Fish Commission, and the powers and duties of the Fish
Commissioners are clearly defined. The courts of the State
stand to their support and the efficient enforcement of the law.
The Commission now in authority so act as to warrant the
general impression that there is too much of the law or too
much committed to themselves. A former Commission
acted as though the law was intended for their own recrea-
tion, to the length of indulgence in steam yachting upon the
navigable waters of the State to deter delinquent fishermen
and go a fishing themselves. The law was enlarged — it is
misleading to say amended — to endow the Commission with
this luxury of qnest and inclination. It is to the praise of
the present Commission that the steam yacht or launch has
been discarded and sold. Nothing can be easier done without
it, and the expense to the State is saved. Good wine needs
no puff; nor are the puffing of the steam pips and the piercing
steam whistle the tests of good fishing. The Comn is doners
should themselves understand fishing and be competent.
That high authority, Izack Walton, gave forth the standard:
"If thou art a sour-visaged man, of acrid humor.and disposed
to melancholy and severity, I shall not in the sweet pursuits
of angling allow thee to be a competent jadge." The revered
brother of the rod might have comprehended a Commissioner,
as honest Dogberry instructed his famous watch to "com-
prehend all vagrom men;" but "comparisons are odorous,'"
and shall not be pursued.

What is required is a better observance of the law, by offi-
cials and others. Deer are killed out of season, slaughtered
in season by skin hunters; birds suffer from the ravages of
the pot hunter and vicious tiansgres-sor; fish are the victims
of the explosive fiends. The earth, and the air, and
the waters, alike witness the lawless devastation; bnt
the officers of the law <ail o witness it, and this orce of kill-
ing, like an old English law was interpreted in Ireland, is no
murder. The game law is shamefully, notoriously disre-
garded and violated in season and out of Beason. Evil ex-
amples descend from the top. The inattention, neglect,
omiBsion and laxity, manifested by those upon whom is de-
volved the enforcement of the law, is copied and seized by
the offenders who are prone to its violation to their own per-
sonal gratification or profit, and their wicked indulgence in
forbidden d6eds. Town officers pay no heed. Sometimes
they are involved as was the Kentucky jury in the trial of
the defendant charged with stealing a hog; every man on
the jury had been served with a generous cut of the pork.
What show had the law or justiee in that case? Once in this
State, the Supreme Court "gave the law to the North and the
nigger to the south." Town justices and town constables
caunot be expected to rise above their superiors, aud punish
for violation of the law the culprit who has been generous
with his game. A haunch of venison, a brace of birds, or a
string of fish passeth the understanding of the bench and
bar and officeis when '-"good digestion waits on appetite,"
and the feeling rules that ' 'mercy is an atlribnte to God" and
is not strained by the consequent discharge of the offender
and the official conscience.

The Fish Commissioners have a duty to perform. Full
meed ot praise awaits the faithful performance. All along the
line, fmm the least in rank and authority, to the greatest, to
whom is committed or upon whom devolve the duties per-
taining to the maintenance of the game laws of the State,
the approval of good citizens will reach. Che true hunter
will sound the praise to which his trained hounds will in full
volume sonorously respond. The glad commendation of
wing and feather sportsmen will in gratefulness and fervor
redound, and frcm anglers and honest fishermen of every
degree the hearty approbation will come to the thoughtful
and wise conservators of the tinny species which cultivated
and epicurean mankind are every year finding stranger, fo be
taken in and done for. Lucullus could feed his slave-
lampreys. May not the Commissioners of the law ir
of enlightment pursue to statute penalties perverse .

THE KENNEL,

The Annual Bench Show.

Last week, beginning with Wednesday, marked the Second
Annual Bench Show of the Pacific Kennel Clnb in San Fran-
cisco The title is comparatively modern. Its distinctive
origin is obsoured. It is ancient that the dog is "the most
complete, singular and useful conquest ever made by man of
the brute creation." Each individual is devoted to bis par-
ticular master, assumes his manners, distinguishes and
defends his property, and continues attachment to him till
death. The dog is the trueBt example of unconditional
fidelity. The dumb creature examples this fidelity from
friendship pure and simple, from gratitude without alloy.
In these qualities it olten puts mankind to the conscious
blash. Neither riches attract nor poverty repels the devo-
tion of the dog. The king may pat. him; the ruffian may
kick him; he leaps to the service and rushes to the defence
and safety of the one and the other all the same. The lash
of the harsh master wounds him; the caresses of the gentle
and fair delight him; yet he will bound from the soft lap to
the call of the lasher. The dog is the dumb companion of
man. It would be flattery to bespeak of some men that they
patterned the dog they habitually abused.

This similitude of natural parts may have had something
to do with the nomenclature of these dogly exhibitions of the
Bench Show. As with men and dogs, races and species,
tribes and classes, families and breeds, have their distinctive
characteristics. Maukind is the comprehensive term for Cau-
casian, American or Indian, Mongolian, Malay >n and Ethi-
opian. Dogs are of the special Pognaces, Venantes and
Sagaoes, agreeably as their instincts are to fight, to hunt, and
to be useful or pleasing to the enlightened human family. It
would be, however, an unadmitted license of description to
say that the term ''Bench Show" is the fair sequence of the
similitude of men and dogs. "Bench" has its own definition
m the pursuits of mankind. In ancient epochs the Athenian
Areopagus and the Eoman Curule seat were as the Bench of
authority and justice, for however much these qualities
went, from immemorial time since English chronicles, the
Bench constituted the majesty of the law. The Benchers are
the dignitaries of the inner court of the Temple. Likewise
were Aldermen designated Benchers; to be sure, also was the
term applied to the habitual sitters upon the benches of the
taverns. Nowadays, this class is appropriately known as
bummers. All through the varied forms, nevertheless,
appears the connecting link 'twixt men and dogs, from noble
qualities to lowest traits. The dog simply follows bis master,
high or low.

"Argus" was favorite of the hero Ulyssus before the
mighty Grecian departed upon his Odyssian ramblings of
twenty years. For twenty years poor old Kip Van Winkle
slept on Catskill heights. Each loved his dog. The skele-
ton of Rip's "Wolf" attested his devotion to his vagabond
master. Aged "Argus," forced to the humiliation of his
n«isome lair, alone of all the household instantly
recognized the familiar voice of the master he had missed
and mourned. Faithful Bounce, the dog of Pope, the poet,
drew from his master the retort to a friend who remarked
that Pope seemed to believe that dogs have souls, "and if
they have, what harm will that do us?" Sir Walter Scott's
Maida, famous of the staghound breed, had more than ordin-
ary human abnegation of vanity in turning from the many
limners who strove to Bketch his grand brute form. The
story of Helvellyn is an Iliad of the dog's devotion, and
Lord Byron has celebrated in fond inscription that which he
felt for his Newfoundland Boatswain, which showed magnan-
imity of human type in his protecting care of the pet terrier
of Byron's mother. Spencer's BeLh Selert, the Twa Dors of
Burns, and the dogs of CTabbe, which learnt of man to scorn
the poor and barked them from every decent door, illustrate
how kin to man in nature is the dog. The "twa," they
"got and shook their lugs; rejoiced they were na men, but
dog6." But instances are innumerable.

The Bench Show leads to the development of the fittest.
The familiar Bong goes — "As the farmer does his grounds,
the huntsman loves his hounds." The fair and gentle have
their favorites. The pet dog of unfortunate Queen Mary at
Fotheringay drew repentance from Queen Elizabeth, trom
whom it refused food, and Bonny Heck is embalmed in
Scottish minstrelsy, as the Irish wolf dog is still subjeot of
soog and story. Famous Barry of St. Bernard, with the
noble record of the fifty lives he bad rescued from death up-
on the snowy Alps, is more worthy of a page in history than
many who are therein renowned. Beminiscences of the
past bring into renewed notice instances which merit abiding
record.

Since dogs are the brute companions of mankind for ser-
vice, and for pleasure and sport, the same as horses, they can
be better bred and trained to suit the nature and the wants
and fancies of mankind. From mongrel cur to noble hound
there is as wide difference as between Hottentot and superior
Caucasian. From fice to mastiff is as from trinVr to thorough
manhood; from poodle and bulldog to dude and athlete are
in similar Hues; and from turnspit to greyhound, from pug
to St. Bernard, is in kind and not in degree to rise from the
plodder to the progressist, from the dabbler to the statesman.
History is philosophy teaching by example. The improve-
ment in years and speoieB is taught by observation and com-
parison. As men have pride in good homes and good houses,
they wisn good in every quality. The hunting and sport-
loving propensity lurks in man's nature. Its gratification
inspires men to possession of the means required. Dogs are
invaluable in the hunt. Many desire them as pets. As the
candy makers say of their sweets, "children cry for them."

The Bench show is as the Commencement exercise in
scholastic progress — an object lesson in material instruction.
It causes fresh interest in the study of dogs. It teaches much
that is valuable. It is as the art of doglearniDg without a
master — as some esBay the mastering of the modern languages.
One acquires fair or sound knowledge of species and breeds,
and cannot be tricked into the purchase of a painted cur for
a coach dog, a spike-coated fice for a Skye, a Btove Better for
a Gordon, or a worthless beef eater for a St. Bernard. Dogs
will be dogs, to be rated as they merit.

Pedigrees are attributes of value. The saying goeB, "Blood
will tell." As pedigree is traced and dated, values are meas-
ured and heightened. Dogs of famous breed and clear line
coinmand prices up to thousands in guineas in England.
Scotland and Ireland; in the United States values are every
year advancing from hundreds to thousands. In some of
' e States dogs are yet estimated in law as no property. A
<rng is property, the same as a horse or a cow, and enlighleued
lat' makers recognize this just measurement of values. The
^1 &b3 the blood are the arbiters. The Bench show will

instruct as to these qualities. Encouragement of the animal
exhibitions will promote the interest and redound to the
breeding.

We present a characteristic portrait of Judge Graham,
the man so much lauded and abused — as the case may be.
In our next issue we will try and speak more at length con-
cerning this gentleman, whom we consider to be one of the
most honorable and versatile deg fanciers, remarkable not
only for the thorough knowledge he possesses of dogs in
general, but for the impartial manner in which he acquitted
himself as judge.

The Bench Show.

Time limitation prevented the publication last week of
any notes about the dogs shown at the P. K. C. show, and
the special prizes were awarded so late in the week as to pre-
clude their presentation to readers. The 6how closed with a
handsome balance on the wrong side of the account. Pre-
cisely what the loss is, it is impossible to state until all assets
are called in and all bills paid, but is probable that five hun-
dred dollars will not cover it. The fact that the show did
not pay its way is regrettable, bnt it will not preclude future
events of the kind. Already Secretary Watson is thinking
of a show to be given next winter where everybody is in
town and money is more plenty. When members of the
Executive Committee meet, they wear ludicrously dolorous
faces and there is a commiserating manner about them which
enables anyone to pick them out in a crowd. Mr. Sehreiber
and Mr. Haight did a vast amount of work in preparing the
show and were assiduous during its continuance, so that
they feel particularly blue when they consider the inevitable
draft upon their already freely opened purses to make up de-
ficiencies.

President Wilson was lavish in offering cash prizes and in
his subscription to the guarantee fund, but with his usual
pluck he is cheerful under the adverse result of the show.
Mr. H. R. Brown is despondent, but he is such a sound and
thorough admirer of pointers that he may be relied upon to
assist when show-time comes again. Colonel Gregory and
Mr. Sandbach did a lot of effective work about the show, and
deserve commendation. As usual in San Francisco the
Bporting classes were by far the largest, and in point of qual-
ity were very creditable.

The mastiffs, of which twelve were shown, were, with two
exceptions, Mr. Eiohard Scott's Dick 10549, and Mrs. Pres-
ton's ActreBs 3915, all ordinary, being small, deficient in
character, and lacking quality. Actress has filled out into a
very good bitch indeed, moving well and being able all over.
Mr. A. W. Manning's Judge 7512 has justified the notes made
on him last year, and although now bnt two years old, is
right in coat and color, rather small. The others shown
were only ordinary.

A fairly good Newfoundland puppy, Nero, was shown by
Mr. F. A, Schule. In great Danes, Mr. Perham W. Nahl
swept the bench with the doge formerly owned by Mr.
Albert Hoeppner. Caesar 10523 is of good quality, but rather
small. Dora 10531 is good in all points.

Mrs. Nahl showed a puppy of excellent quality in her blue
Leda. The greyhound exhibit was good in all but numbers;
only seventeen were shown, instead of seventy-five, which
should have been benched. Mr. Walton's Saturday Night is
good all over. Second was won by T. J. Cronin's Snowball,
and third by J. F. Carroll's Monarch, mucn alike, the latter
snowing age plainly. J. F. Carroll's Jennie June won in the
bitch class, beating her little sister Brunette, because Bhe was
cleaner about the Bhouldera. P. F. C^uavan's puppies
"Chronicle" and "Examiner" were much alike and both
good. In the bitch pup class M. B. McGowan's Menlo Maid
was on condition. The foxhounds were mostly of the blood-
hound type and very common, except the winners of first,
Mr. Savage's Eoy, and seoond, Mr. Wilson's Nip, in dogs,
and first in bitches, Mr. McCarthy's Eoho, which all Bbowed
a good deal of quality, the latter being a very nice level
bitch.

The heavy pointer dog class was won by B. F. Naphthaly's
lemon and white Pat P.. 10058, a dog which won second in
the dog puppy class last year. Pat P. was shown in bai
coat and under nis proper show weight but won nevertheless.
He is a nicely made dog, with good feet and legs, splendid
neck and shoulders, and quality of the proper sort. Mr. C.
M. Osborne's Professor, well shown, won seoond, a little
loaded in neck and shoulders, but a good mover and a good
dog. Mr. C. A. Height's Dick H., 10027, larger than the
others, plain in head, and lacking the quality of those

placed over him, won third. A. B. Truman's Bush T,,
10069, won third last year, but was put back a peg, to V. h!
C, res in this show.

Senator Pinder's Scout Croxteth 6277 got an H. C. He iB a
dog very muoh to our fancy, except about the eyes; is full of
character, but moves badly.

Heavy bitches brought G. W. Bassford's Blossom to the
front, a grand looking, level made bitch of great quality and
character. Second was given to Mr. H. K. Brown's Donna
Sensation 10095; well shown; not so good in head as Blos-
som, but of high quality. Mr. Brown's Manzanita, a puppy,
was also shown in the bitoh class, and won third. She is
good all over but for plainness in head.

Pointer dogs, under 55 pounds, was given to B. Power's
Wade Hampton; very good, except for lack of stop; second
going to H. Spencer's Matchlesp, and third to £. W. Briges'
Climax, both good in middle, but short headed. A. B. Tru-
man won the bitch class, under 50 pounds, with Patti Crox-
teth T., a very clean, typical bilch, with tine head, good
legs and feet, just a little wide in front. Mr. Geo. B. Pol-
hemus took second with Cora, a very likely bitch, seemingly
immature and badly shown, being out of coat and poor. G.
H. T. Jackson's Wanda received third, a very plain bitoh
about the head but good in body, roomy and well coupled
and having a good stern.

In dog puppies Wm. Lumbard won with Ponto. a good
big one. Mr. R. K. Gardiner taking second with Tennis, a
fine puppy. Third went to A. B. Truman's Rob T., of high
quality.

Bitch puppies were good. H. R. Brown's Manzanita, also
a winner in the aged class, won first. G. A. Dick'erson
taking second with Donna Blanca. a nice puppy, rather light
in bone, but of high quality. A. V. Stubenrauch with Diana
a pup of fine size and quality, getting third.

English setter dogs wore of high average goodness. Thoe
Higg's got first with Rover H., 10,225. a well-ribbed dog of*
good size, level made, but plain in head, and carrying too
high a tail. J. E. LucaB' Bruiser was a good second, not so
well sprung in ribs and a bit light as was H. B. Hosmer's
Rector, winner of third. In bitches, P. D. Linville's Florine
received first, and could win almost anywhere, a well-made
handsomely marked bitch, and a good mover. H. S. Wort's
Beezy, a nice, clean little bitoh, got second, third going to
Geo. Muller's Ophelia, badly shown, having recently whelped.
One dog pup and one bitch pup were shown, S. A. Watson
owning the former and taking a first, and G. A. Watson the
latter, also getting a firBt. Both' were quality pups, but light
and lacking substance. A. B. Truman's Mike T., finely
shown, won in Irish setter dogs, plain in head, but good
otherwise. John Stack's Grouse got second, a dog light in
bone and leggy.

In bitches Mr. Truman's Lady ElchoT. woneasilv, a grand
animal, perfect except that she needs a little more skull. She
also won as the best setter in the show.

John Stach's Lena I. got a first, although having a litter
a nice typical bitch. In dog puppies, A. K. Truman won
with Dash T. a good pup, but a little coarse. In Gordons
there was but one really fine entry J. V. Birke's Ben Nevis-
of proper type, coat and color. Senator Pinder won in Irish
water Bpaniels with Nora P. a good bitch but out of coat. A
good cocker dog Giffie was shown by H. P. Rennie and got
first, as did the bitch Woodstock Belle, shown by Mrs. Ren-
nie, both of good type and well shown. The Beagles Dac-
shunde, and bull terriers were very common.

In fox terrier dogs, A. L. Langerman received first for
Tromp, very good in coat legs, middle, a little full about the
eye.

Lady Emma; best Black and Tan Terrier dog or bitch weigh-
ing over nine pounds, Mrs. Naphthaly's Jim.

In bitches, J. B. Martin's Golden Gem won easily enough,
a nice bitch, good all over, fit for competition anywheie.
Second prize winner, Mrs. Neale's Daisy, is also good, too
full in eye and thick in shoulders.

In puppies, Mr. Martin's Golden Gem won first, duplica-
ting her success in the open bitch clasB. One white bairid
fox terrier was shown, Antrim, by Mr. J. E. Watson, a little
devil not worth notice except that he is the first of his breed
to be benched here.

Mr. Dave Eiseman showed a rarely good toy black and
tan, in his Dixie, a very small, but perfect specimen.

Mr. C. H. Kingsley exhibited a very fine Airedale terrier,
Nipr The dog is typical and about right in everyway. Fit
to win anywhere.

A fine skye terrier was shown by Miss A. A. Pierce's Pboebe,
of proper color, coat, eto.

The Yorkshires were ordinary except Mr. Seerk's Mash,
showing age, but a good dog.

Mrs. C. E. Rankin's Daisy won in the bitch class, a nice,
dainty, little thing, a bit too light in color.

But one pug was shown. Buttsie, owned by Mrs. Jackson,
and a very nioe dog.

Two poodles were benched, by Mr. P. W. Nahl, neither of
high class.

After the Show.

She is waiting in the darkness, she is waiting by the door,
and she hears the sad sea moaning as it beats the sandy
shore; and she hears the night-bird crying, and the wailing
of the trees, and upon her fevered forehead gently blows the
southern breeze; but in vain she stands and listens for the
coming of the one who to her is prince and hero, who is
brighter than the sun. Close the door, oh weeping lady,
close the door and weep alone, to the sighing of the branches,
to the ocean's sullen moan; to the screaming of the night-
bird, to the sobbing of the rain, as it falls like tears from
heaven, plabhing on the window pane. Let your eyes this
night be rivers, and your hair a mourning veil, let your soul
float out to heaven in a wild, despairing wail; for the foot-
steps of your hero do not echo on the shore, and to-night
you'll never see him though you're waiting by the door; and
you will not hear the music of the voice you love so well, you
will only hear the moaning of the ocean's restless swell.
Close the door, oh weeping lady, look no more for him you
love, better look for hope and comfort to the sombre sky
above; to your side your love and hero all your watching
oannot wiD, for he got ''tight" in the city and the peelers ran
him in.

[This is atrocious, but it is not half so bad as can be per-
petrated by that arch kennel paragrapher. Editor Clement, of
the London Shooting Times— Ken. Ed.]

Dr. Davenport to Mr. McKoon-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — If you will give me
space in your valuable paper to reply to my friend, McKoon's
letter, (the careful breeder of cocker spaniels) in your journal
of 18th inst., I will promise not to bother you with him
again.

After giving you a dressing down he turns to me. Now,
Mr. Editor, I am willing to leave it to any man, to receive a
pair of puppies from a "careful" breeder of Gilt Edge stock
with promise to please or no sale have them come poor,
dirty and lousy, (just covered with vermin which Dr. S. N.
Cross oan testify to) and then answer him pleasantly I can
say il am not the num. I do think from the way the
puppy looked that he was kept about four weeks waiting for
the other to get old enough to ship and that he could not
have been fed on anything a great deal better than gravel.
Dr. Cross received one in company with mine, and it was he
who called my attention to the condition of the puppy. It
any thanking should be done, Mr. McKoon ought to thank
me.

Now, if Mr. McKoon wanted to help me as a friend with
the pedigrees and colors of my bitches, why didn't he write
me on the subject the same as he did Mr. E. Cohoon, instead
of rushiDg into print and trying to show that I was breeding
injudiciously, etc., when he had done the same thing and
sold them as gilt-edged Btock? He oannot say anything
against the blood of my dogs, for I have a daughter and
granddaughter of his Col. Stnbbs, (which he says is the best
dog in America), a daughter of his Jet, and a niece of one
of his brood bitches. Now. I have a letter from Mr. E.
Cohoon, of Handsome Brook Kennels, N. Y., in which he
gives me the privilege of using any or all of the letter to de-
fend myself. It is in reply to one I wrote, and the one that
was in your paper of April 20th, which I sent him.

Mr. Cohoon says: "I had a letter from (Mr. McKoon) him
a few days ago, and I saw he was quite stirred because you
had bought two or three nice cocker bitohes, intending to
breed them, and that he wanted to scare you out if possible.

In his letter to me he does not allude to injudicious breed-
ing and mat;ng, only to the mixed up mess of dates and
colors, and charges you with calling your bitches liver and
white* when they are liver, etc., and says, *I mistrust the
errors are mostly Dr. Davenport's,1 and in his letter pub-
lished April 20th, he Bays the errors do not appear to fall at
Dr. Davenport's door. Now, as he has called my attention
to the dates, I notice that in one thing he is right (he is rais-
ing one of the Utter of pups, of which your Vic is one, for a
stud dog, and colls it Black Bob). When I Bent the pup to
him I gave him pedigree and date of birth. I had this
recorded in an old book, and in arranging a new book, less
than a year ago, I entered the date as October 27ih and it
should have been Deoember 27, 1887; this is as I gave it to
McKoon. In giving you the date I was guided by my new
book and gave it as October 27th, not noticing the error
until'he called my attention to it, so ] promptly acknowledge
the error. I unintentionally called Vic two months olJer
than she was, but does that prove that her pups are worth-
less? Not by any means She was the best developed bitch
at thirteen months of age I ever saw. She had a perfect heat
which lasted nearly eighteen days, and was in as good condi-
tion and in as perfect state of development to raise a good
litter of pups as many bitches are at sixteen to twenty months
of age; and as to Cherry, she was fifteen months old. He
(McKoon) charges the same iDJudiciouB breeding with her.

Something over a year ago I sold McKoon a sister of
Beauty Vic's dam. She didn't come in heat until she was
fifteen months old, and he wrote me to breed her at that age
if she had a good, square heat. Now what is this careful
hreeder of cocker spaniels of proven reliability doing? He is
trying to down you and reflect on me so that the public will
not patronize "b because we have done just what he has
done himself and would do again. He says he is seeking
information both for your best interest and the publics as
Well as bis own, That is well put in. He iaseekmg to show

to the public that your stock is about worthless — when he
proves it to be just as good as his.

I can bring to mind several instances where I have sold
bitohes to other kennels in the Eastern States and elsewhere,
and they have bred them even youuger than Vic with good
results. I sold a pup to a party in this State not long since
from my Fanny at the age of your Vic, she, too, being well
developed and forward, and this man wrote me that he had
owned cocker spaniels for fifteen years, and had some of
MoKoon's, and had never had or seen as fine a pup as the
one sent him.

Now Mr. D., the drift of it all is as I said before, he means
to scare you out. I know him better than you ever will.
Keep right on, offer your pups for sale and sell them. I
am very sorry he has taken this course, and I am very sorry
the error in date occurred. Anything that I can do for you I
will do, and rest assured that your pups are all right. I
have been a breeder of cocker spaniels for eight years, and
know something about breeding them."

A. C. Davenport.

The English Kennel Club's Field Trials-

The English Kennel Club's field trials were run on April
20th and May 1st and 2d, on the Duke of Portland's estate,
near Welbeck, Nottinghamshire. Out of ninety-four nomi-
nations for the Derby, there were but seventeen starters,
nine pointers and eight setters. The judges were Colonel
Le Gendre Starkie and Mr. C. H. Berk, the latter acting in
place of Mr. S. E. Shirley who was prevented, by illness,
from judging. The first day was rainy and unpropitious for
good work, but favorable weather prevailed during the two
following days. Mr. F. K. Hitchcock, the secretary of the
Westminister Kennel Club was in attendance. The Derby
was a sweepstake, 50 per cent, to first; 20 per cent, to second ;
10 per cent, to third, pointers and setters respectively; and
10 per cent, of the whole entry fee to be added, to go to the
absolute winner, The puppies, except one or two, were a
very poor lot. In Betters, Mr. F. C. Lowe's Trip of Kippen
(Tuisham Trip — Dido) won first; Mr. C. Bishop's Blossom of
Hazleworth (Pride of the Hills — Essex Belle), second; Messrs.
F. Warde & C. Gibb's Aldon Trip (Tutaham Trip— Penelope)
third. In pointers, Mr. O. Morren's Banco of Brussels
(Master Bang Bang — Lorna Doone of Kippen) won first,
Duke of Portland's Dodona (Kent Cob— Magpie), second;
Rev \V. J. Richardson's Bene K. (Byrsa— Regent of Milton),
third. Trip of Kippen beat Banco of Brussels, and was the
absolute winner. Amocg the notable dogs in the All-Age
Staku, were the pointers Woolton Game, Polites, and Moor;
and the Irish setter Drogheda and the Eoglish setter Blue
Maid of Carnfield. Banco of Brussels here suffered his firBt
defeat, although the heat with Trip of Kippen, the winner,
was not wholly satisfactory. Rene R. was considered as
being in great luck to get third place.

The All-Age Stake had the full Hurt, sixteen starters; the
winners were as follows: First, Sir T. B. Lennard's pointer
Polites (Priam— Duchess); second, Mr. C. C. Ellis' Irish
setter Drogheda (Frisco — Grouse II); third, Mr. H. Harter'a
setter Blue Maid of Carnfield (Ranging Aaron— Little Bess);
fourth, M. P. Caillard's Belle des Bordes (Young Bang-
Polly). The prizes were £50 to first, £25 to second, and £10
each to third and fourth. The London Field, in its com-
ments of the winners, says: "Much upheaval of reputed form
took place in the All-Aged Stakes, won by the five-year-old
pointer Polites, who, though somewhat lucky, made few
errors and proved himself quite as good as of yore as a game-
finder and game-Btan^er. Something to talk about would
have been found had this stake been won by the Irish setter
Drogheda, who, according to the ruling of the judges, was
beaten in the firstround. 'That new rule.'already explained,
led to his being called up again, and although he did not win
the stake outright, he ran second, and was not beaten for the
premier honors. Mr. Ellis' handsome dog does not go so fast
and recklessly as he did last year; we thought him almost
the most careful and quite the best dog in the Btake. He,
like Polites, committed few so-called crimes, and the form in
which he found birds and behaved to them stamps him as
possibly the best Irish setter of all times, although usually
he is very shaky in backing an opponent."

The kennel of English setters owned by Mr. H. M. Gor-
ham is being broken up, as the appended note will attest .-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have purchased from
Mr. H. M. Gorham, Gold Hill, Nov., Mollie 0., the dam of
Bohemian Girl, and Jill, a little sister of Bohemian
Girl. I broke Jill for Gorham my first season in North
Carolina, and she was one of the English setters I proposed
to turn loose on Mr. Malcolm's Gordons. As the race did
not materialize, I did not have the pleasure of showing what
Jill waB capable of doing; but she will run in at least three
of the trials this Fall, and if fit and well I think she will not
disgrace her illustrious Bister or her breeder.

Typical Dogs.

The Breeder and Sportsman, with commendable enter-
prise, produces in its last issue six very good portraits of
"typical dogs," and has chosen for itB illustrations the Eng-
lish setters Sirius, owned by Thomas Bennett of San Fran-
oisco, and Jolly Planter, owned by H. T. Payne, of the
Tribune; the Irish Better Lady Elcho T., owned by A. B.
Truman of San Francisco; the pointer Climax, owned by E.
W. Briggs of San Francisco; the maBtiff Actress, the property
of MrH. E. F. Preston, and the fox-terrier Teddy, owned by
Mrs. J. K. Newton. TheBe dogs were all winners in the show
which clos'd Saturday night last, except Mr. Payne's Jolly
Planter, who was not sent to the show on account of his
being in bad coat; therefore the Kennel Editor of the Breed-
er and Sportsman has paid him a high compliment in plac-
ing him among the' typical dogs of the State. — Los Angeles
Tribune.

Mr. Geo. T. Coles, of Lob Alamo, offers through the
business columns some purely-bred St. Bernard puppies.
Particulrrs may be had by applying to Mr' Coles.

A lemon and white pointer slut belonging to Mr. T. L.
Potter, was lost at Alameda Point on Sunday last. She an-
swers to the name Jean, and sportsmen should keep their
eyes open for such an animal.

Mr. Geo, T. Allender writes from Watsonville that he has
room for three or four more young setters and pointers, to
be prepared for field trials,

A Distineuishod Fancier Abroad-

The proprietors of the Fauoier'a Gazette gave a compli-
mentary dinner at the Holborn Restaurant on May 7th to
Mr. F. R. Hitchcock, of New York, other gueBts beiog the
Right Hon. the Earl of Cork (formerly Master of H. M. Stag-
hounds), Mr. Keeley Halswelle (the well known artist), Mr.
W. Huscroft {of the American Field), and Mr. E. Wylam (of
Spratts Patent). Mr. Shirley, ProfeBSor florsley, Mr. Ab-
pinall and other gentlemen who were invited were unable to
attend, the matter having been arranged on short notice, as
Mr. Hitchcock, who has since gone to Paris, and is going
through Belgium to Berlin, returns to America on May 25tb,
says the English Kennel Gazette. Mr. Edward Brown, the
editor-in-ohief, made a capital chairman, ably supported by
Messrs. Everett Millais, F. Gresham, S. P. Page, L. C.
Verrey and R. Stacey.

The health of the Queen and the Royal Family, coupled
with that of the President of the United Stitts, having been
duly honored, the toast of the evening, that of the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club and its Honorary Secretary, Mr. F. R.
Hitchuook, was feelingly responded to by that gentleman,
who expressed his deep sense of the honor paid to him and
to his club, and through them to the American kennel world.
by the hospitality thus Bhown to him. He concluded by
proposing increasing prosperity to the Fancier's Gzaette.

This was responded to by Mr. Everett Millais, who dwelt
on the fact that some of our most successful breeders and
exhibitors are gentlemen belonging to the medioal profession,
attributing their success chiefly to their knowledge of physi-
ology, a scienoe which would, be believed, eventually do for
live Btock what chemeBtry has already done for agriculture.
He concluded by proposing the health of the guests, coupling
with the toast the name of the Earl of Cork.

His Lordship in replying said that he had listened with
very great interest to the remarks of his kinsman, Mr.
Millais, as to scientific breeding. Speaking for horses and
hounds, of wbioh he had some knowledge, he would say that
there were two things absolutely necessary to success in
breeding, firBt, to have a sound pedigree, and then to mate
sire and dam so that whatever is weak or faulty in one may
be counteracted by strength or quality in the other. He was
glad to know that the gentlemen who had so ably discharged
the duty of hosts on this occasion are all practical and suc-
cessful breeders, and he was sure that tne journal which they
conducted would do much for the education of breeders. It
had afforded him very great pleasure to be present, especially
aB he had, during a residence in America, made the acquain-
tance of a gentleman whom he now knew to be Mr. Hitch-
cock's brother, and he desired to express his acknowledg-
ments for himself and for the other guests for the happiness
derived from the hospitality shown them on this ocoasion.
He oonoluded by proposing the health of Mr, Brown, who
had bo ably filled the post of chairman.

Mr. Brown having responded suitably, a few short speeches
and some excellent songs (the latter from Mr. L. C. Verry)
brought the business of a very enjoyable evening to a close.

THE GUN.

An Old Time Turkey Shoot.

Not many years ago, when the breech loader had not been
adopted by many shooters, the muzzle loader having full
swing, there hahpened a laughable incident to a friend of
mine in a small mining town in Pennsylvania, which told
in his inimitable way, still furnishes many a laugh in club
rooms.

Friend Jim and ohum happening to strike the little town

of G during a local fair or blow out of some kind, every

body being out in their best clothes and Sunday smiles on.

One of the events of the day was a turkey shoot, com-
petitors in which eaoh fired a shot from their gun at a paper
target cut in the shape of a turkey, 50 yards distant. The
shooter putting in the most pellets in his target got the tur-
key there being some 50 turkeys altogether.

Now the muzzle loader most prevalent in that locality
seemed to be of 13 bore, and double B's the proper shot to
use in their estimation.

The breech loader was a very expensive article in those
days and rare and not at all the excellent article that it is to-
day, with its improved mechanism and choke bored barrels.
But those UBing them were usually better posted and more
expert shots.

Jakey Allen was the firBt man to face the enemy, bracing
himself carefully with legs widely separated, head well for-
ward in regulation style, a Iook of determination on his
bronzed face, he slowly raises his gun and when muzzle
covers target he pulls the 12-lb. trigger. There is a lond re-
port and Jakey is hurled violently backward and his load of
B. B. as violently lammed up against the target.

Jakey is a good shot, and much excitement prevails at
reBult of shot, he having put five corns in the victim. His
ohances seem good, and pandomomium prevails, but soon
there is a lull. Bill Giles, a very bad man, is at the bat, and
when he carefully and scientifically spits four ounces of
tobacco juice some yards ahead of him and takes a lowing
squint along his 40-inoh tube, the silence is so oppressive
that yonr ears ring. The boys can feel that something is
going to happen. Bill has blood in his eye. With sup-
pressed breath and wildly beating hearts the result of Bill's
shot is watched, and when the referee yells 6 corns, the pent
up excitement of the cracks assembled finds vent in great
enthusiasm and many yells of 2 to 1 on Bill, and one more
enthusiaBtic admirer of Bill's than the others, even ventures
on 3 to 1 with no takers.

After Bill had shaken bauds with his adherents for the
third time, and taken his fourth smile out of the hard cider
barrel, the next contestant, Rob Hopper, takes his stand at
the chalk line, but no such interest is oentered in him, as he
is as yet unknown amongst G— s shooting society, and is
therefore supposed to be out of the race, but the boys con-
sider it their duty to guy and bully him, and more than
one even goes so far as to intimate very loudly his belief that
he doesn't even know enough about the art of Bhooting and
loading to make his ramrod rebound out of barrel while
pounding down his powder. But the better natnred oitizena
in the audience say this is going too far. Bob is Blightly
nervous, and a perceptible quiver. of his knees, and palsy of
his bands delay matters a little, but by a superhuman effort
he gathers all his scattered wits about him, Bhutting hi

Sales of Kentucky Yearlings.

New York is now the principal sales depot of racers
and trotters, thoroughbreds and high gradeB. Kentucky
breeders find it their best market, and California has
leaped to great favor and strongest competition in it.
At the sale of eighty-three yearlings, Kentucky bred, of
Elmendorfs and MeGrathians, May 14th, a total of
$72,300 an average of $750.60. The highest price paid
was $7,000, for a brother to J. B. Haggin's Firenzi, after
sharp, competition. P. W. Walden was the purchaser —
it is believed for J. A. and A. H. Morria. The colt was
from the Elmendorf lot. The lowest sale was $175,
a filly by Bersan — Penny, by Jerome Edger, dam
sister to Gouverneur. A bay colt by Alain, half brother
to Fremont, sold for $6,700. The next highest price was
$1,550, for a bay filly, by Glenelg — Mme. Dudley by
Lexington.

Of thu McGrathian lot a chestnut colt, by Onondaga,
Nellie — Booker by Australian, brother to Bookmaker
sold for $1,800, and the lowest price, $150, was for a
brown colt by Duke of Montrose, Volta by Voltuma, half
brother to Redlight. A filly by Onondaga, Black Maria
by Bonnie Scotland, sister to Once Again, sold for $1,600,
and a filly by Pizarro — Perhaps by Australian, for
$1,325.

Contrasted with the sales from California breeding
farms this year — which occurred under unproDitious
circumstances — these from Kentucky farms show much
in favor of the Californians. But it is stated that these
Sbles of Kentucky yearlings encountered discouragement
consequent upon the strained situation between turfmen
and bookmakers, the solution of which has yet to come.

The Dwyers were not present or represented at the
sale on this account. It ia reported that the brothers
take the stand that, if the bookmakers are to manage or
control racing, they will retire from the turf. That their
absence affected the sale is apparent, but among the
buyers were Pierre Lorillard and his son Pierre, Ben Ali
Haggin, Milton Young, Leslie Bruce, Col. Warburtou,
the Lakeland Brothers, James Galway, Henry Stedeker,
Capt. W. M. Conner, D. T. Pulsifer, and other notables
of the turf. Still, after all allowance, the figures and the
results show materially to the advantage of California
breeders. Every year this advantage will become better
apparent.

Bookmakers and Bookmakers.

A tremulous and indignant fledgling author has poured
forth his remonstrances and lamentations from harrowed
soul and craving pockets. He addressed an authority on
Turf matters, in vigorous and ornate protest against the
injustice of harsh criticism or condemnation of "Book-
makers." Lord send the young man relief. He is of
the guild who are ambitious to make books to read and
be assigned favored place in the library. It was in a
publication of high rank, devoted to noble sporting, that
he read tne article which perturbed his soul, aroused his
loo utterly too sensitive nature. The criticism was
directed toward a possible evil of the Turf; the condem-
nation was launched upon the actually delinquent of the
fraternity. Authors were not aimed at or hit. The
great poet found "tongues in trees, books in the running
brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." It
will be well to remark, however, that in Shakespeare's
period the bookmaker of the Turf had not reached exist-
ence, otherwise he might have substituted the running of
other than "brooks," and left nothing to the imagina-
tion, nothing for similitude. The bookmaker of the Turf
writes for coin only, and he is his own cashier. His
publisher may find himself defendant in a libel suit —
claimed damages away up; actual damages no plum-
met can sound — in some instances. Still, it may serve
as well as, or better than, the old mode, agreeably to
which John Randolph of Roanoke, as famous for love of
racing as for his eccentricities, felt constrained to cry
out, as his offer of a wager was accepted: "Who'll hold
the stakes?" and to the quick response, "Colonel Hum-
phreys!" followed it with "Who will hold Colonel Hum-
phreys?"

The average bookmaker of the Turf is of ardent nature
and keen perception. The Xu.f bookmaker has too clear
judgment of humanity to think with Tallyrand, that
speech is intended to conceal thoughts, or that notes of
hand are given on the principle of the gifted Sheridan,
who fervently remarked as he drew the urgently
demanded note, "Thank God, that debt is acquitted!"
and of the bookmaker it may be said that his is a world
of promise.

There is obligations in his dealings. Shun, flout,
spurn, or forget him, as you will, still he has put you in
his book, and will take good care that you are not neg-
lected— not this side of the grave; and unless caput
mortuum be conditional, he will pronounce the hicjacet
with sonorous distinction and suggestive frequency.
Cleverer than Governor Foote, who said to Senater Ben-
ton; "J shall write, a little hook in which your name

will be mentioned," and more magnanimous than
"Old Bullion" who retorted: *'I will write a big book in
which your name shall not occur!" the ever mindful
bookmaker of the turf makes up his book, and woe to
the unfortunate Ben Adhem whose name leads all the
rest, in the delinquent list. Rest on earth is no more for
him. William the Conquerer had his domesday book
compiled. It has existence this ninth century from its
make up. Accept Eugene Sue's story of the Wandering
Jew, and in the process of unrolled centuries will appear
the never-say-die collector of desperate I. O. U.'e, sure
not to miss your heirs and assigns on his perennial tour
as champion globe trotter, as he makes studious inquiry
of the oldest inhabitant for names and pedigrees.

The vealy aspirant to authorship of books — of
thoughts that breathe and words that burn — he should
look out for his books or insure them — need have no
fear of the rivalry of the Turf bookmakers. He, of all
mankind is safe. The bookmaker knows a hawk from a
hand-saw, a dude from a duodecimo, a dubious signa-
ture from a gilt-edge oral obligation. He will never
encroach upon the domain of literature, never obstruct
the sale of volumes in calf or Russian. His book is not
printed. Its binding is in the contents. It is not illus-
trated. Its cuts are to be avoided — blood or denounce-
ment. The title is clear— "Play or Pay." All who en-
ter here leave not their purse behind, is the sufficient ad.
monition. There be bookmakers and bookmakers — auth-
ors and bettors. Which are the better or the worse, is
for all to determine agreeably to rare Ben JonBon,
"Every man in his humor."

Breeding Considered.

There is varied and wide opinion among turfmen and
breeders of trotters in reference to the limit of speed
possible in the trotting horse and as to probability of
this limit — whether it shall be attained through breeding
or happen in the performance of a phenomenal trotter,
without clean pedigree, as Lady Suffolk was. To fairly
present a case as to the possible, caie should be observed
against expression of bias. An open question ought to
be absolutely free to all, whatever their opinions may be
or their arguments are worth. It will be enough, as
with the Judge upon the Bench, to patiently give ear to
testimony and pleadings, from which to form reasonable
and impartial conclusions. It will not answer to dog-
matize and declare that the limit of speed in trotting
has already been attained; that the speed of Maud S. is
phenomenal and will never be surpassed; that a mile in
two minutes is impossible; or that there is not reason to
believe that thorough breeding on both sides will better
produce the accomplishment; that the two-minute trotter
must be born, not trained and wrought to the perform-
ance. Upon a ground of deep deliberation, together
with sound ratiocination and clear perspicuity for the
examination of the case, must be superimposed for its
hearing, figuratively, a table perfectly blank to receive
everything offered and reject nothing that is to the pur-
pose of the quest, and from the mass presented then to
determine. To add to this the most potent reasoning
and grace it with lucid exposition is the province and
quality of the impartial judge, in order that the good
and sound shall thereafter prevail in practice, and that
delusive, misleading and mischievous theories shall no
longer find followers, to the deterioration of sires and
dams, by harmful coupling and the consequent decad-
ence of the turf in respect to trotters. As to running
horses, the unchallenged experience of two hundred
years, intelligently directed, stands an impregnable wall
of demonstration, buttressed by substantial proofB. It is
with trotters that similar process remains to be definitely
elucidated through equally intelligent and equally studi-
ous means.

Taking Maud S. as the example for theory and argu-
ment— for the sufficient reason that she maintains the
greatest record of trotting speed — our writer upon the
subject has put forward the belief that the trotter to
excel her record is likely to come from a family outside
of recognized lines of thorough breeding. This belief
leaves the gates wide open to graded breeding or no
breeding at all. The get of a draught-horse or of a
common dam might prove the phenomenal trotter. As
if blood and bone are mere accidents of breeding. This
ib extravagant, but once admit the probability, and cnly
the impossible can be rejected. That this is in the face
of sense and reason is apparent; yet to Buch extremity
must the sophistry be presspd to impress some with the
comprehension of the absurdity. And simple as it
appears, there are some, even many, to whose under-
standing this has yet to be made clear. They are, too,
owners and breeders of horses — only very common
horses, to be sure, but nevertheless they persist in this
order of breeding every year, because it is cheap and
produces for them the kind of horses they have use for.
The farmer, of all men who raise and breed horses, can
commit no more &orry blunder, with harm to himself

than the pursuance of this *'old fashioned" custom. As
well might he cling to the old-fashioned cradle to cut
down his cereal crops or use only the old fashioned plow
in his field. There is too much profit in good horses, too
much money in the value of a fine horse, for every pur-
pose, to neglect the breeding nowadays. Besides, the
better breeding of horses and of all farm animals, like-
wise developes and elevates, improves and refines the
farmer and his family.

Intelligent breeding has developed in every land in
which it ha-3 been followed, superior horses and other of
the genus of domestic animals. It is mo3t uoticeable in
thoroughbred runners and in cattle, in every country in
which attention has been directed to the advancement —
mainly to turf performers, to pleasure and draught
horses in England and in France, and other nations of
the continent of Europe; to beef and dairy cattle and
sheep — in all of these. In the United States the im-
provement has been marvellous. Upon the best stock
of England there has been notable improvements in
valuation, besides the quality. Years ago, in New
York, thoroughbred cattle of imported famous English
lines, were sold to English bidders at the highest figures
ever ubtained for cattle in any part of the enlightened
world. Within the last twenty years, horses have sold
in the United States for larger sums than in England.
There, runnerj command top figures. Here, trotters
hold the topmost valuation. It was by studious
and intelligent breeding that English thoroughbreds
were brought to the perfection now attained. They are
more valued now than ever before, and sell for higher
prices. The introduction of trotters in England is one
of the certain innovations to flow from the increasing
inpour of American wealth, personality and push. The
American "colonies" in England and on the continent
will have their fast trotters. The cost is no object — the
trotters are wanted. This is enough. They will be had
— imported home-bred, or from imported sires. But the
home market is illimitable, constantly increasing and
expanding, with better valuation. England will yet
have her trotting races as she has her Derby, her Oaks»
St. Leger, Doncaster, Ascot, Newmarket, Goodwood,
Cesarovitch, Cambridge, Chester, and so on. Paris wi In-
come to her trotting Grand Prix. The trotters proudest
period is eoming. The trotting sires must come from
the United States.

With less than forty years of breeding of trotters in
this country, comparable with the breeding of runners
in England, the results are already amazing — from 2:26
down to 2:08§. From less than ten in the 2:20 class, the
advance in twenty years has increased the number to
hundreds, and each succeeding year records are reduced.
Values have advanced from thousands to tens of thou-
sands of dollars, and offers for the most famous of
many, many tens of thousands, are refused. The blood
of Messenger and Glencoe, of Belmont and Mambrino
Chief, of Hambletonian and Wilkes, of Sultan and Clay,
of Electioneer and Nutwood, of Pilot Jr. and Patchen,
pervades and prevails. Other great sires and noted
dams attest their superior quality. Breeding farms sup-
ply these. Stables are selected from them. Turf rec-
ords are brilliant with the lustre of their performances.
The lover of horses and the pridefnl, sagacious farmer
have i*eady opportunity to become the possessor of the
coming king or queen of trotters. It is all in the breed-
ing, with judicious management. Blood will demon-
strate its nobler quality. Training will assert its effi-
cacy. California has attained distinction. No State
has greater. The future trotter of two minutes is likely
to be of California breeding.

Advertising Notes-

Hie Toomey Sulky.

A.t this season of the year, sulkies and light track wagons
are in great demand, aB the various breeders throughout the
State are beginning to condition their horses preparatory to
the coming campaign. Of all the firms engaged in manufac-
turing sporting vehicles, there are uo.De that surpass Toomey
& Co. in the elegance and durability of the work turDed out.
Mr. W. P». O'Kane, of 767 Market Street, 3. F., has been
appointed agest for the PaciBc Coast, and will take pleasure
in showing to any that may call, the advantages possessed
by the Toomey Truss Axle Snlky over all others offered for
sale in this market. The company have made such a success
of their standard and training sulkies, improved skeleton
wagons and light driving wagons that they have discontinued
the manufactnre of the heavier style of vehicles, and turned
their entire attention to track work. Those contemplating
the purchase of anything in the Salky line will do well to
call or send to the city agent for estimates.

Henry Vaughn has just arrived from the East bringing 15
head of thoroughbred registered Holstein cattle, which he
has sold Bince his arrival to Mr. Andrew Smith of Redwood
City. These cattle have been pronounced by all good judges
who have seen them, and some of our best cattle men have
inspected them, to be Borne of the finest ever brought to tbis
State. He has also brought in the same consignment, eight
thoroughbred registered Hereford bulls. These are all of
grand type and the finest breeding obtainable, all ready for
wervice, and are also guaranteed breeders. We wish Mr.
Vaughn success in his constant endeavors to introduce good
stock to our people.

Conversation with several prominent California horse
breeders leads to the belief that several will journey East-
ward shortly to purchase thoroughbreds at the coming sales.
On Friday, June 21st, there will be sold at Washington Park,
Chicago, a choice lot of yearliugs from Keuuesaw, Peytona,
and other well-known breeding establishments, by Messrs.
Bruce & Kidd, of Lexington, Ky. The young ones comprise
tbe get of such famous sires as Geo. Kinny, Aretino, im-
ported Glengary, Luke Blackburn, imported Pickwick,
Bramble, Planeroid, Bertram, etc.. and out of Arizona (dam
of Aranza. Amerique, etc), Kennebec, half sister to George
Kinney, Peariash Azellia, Albatross, Amerique, Bessie Bell
(dam of Gracious), Kathleen (dam of George Kinney, Kenne-
saw, John Happy, Kershaw, Summer, etc ), Sierra Nevada
(dam of Mountain Range), Ensue (dam of Agnes B.), Patricia
(dam of Everett), Pansy, Lueia (dam of Carter), Mountain
Range, Glen Hop (sister to Carson, Fond du Lac, Reed and
Kirkman), Lizzie B.. Kate Fisher (dam of Kingsland. Joe
Mitchell, Col. Clark, Glenfisher, etc.),_Planetta (dam of
Howison and Brigonette), Trade wind, ±Uiza Carr, Emma
Wilson, Maria Barnes, Mollie "Wyman (dam of Glen Clark,
Rico, etc ), Emma Harrison, Belle, Tiara, Messalina, Malaria
(dam of John Henry, etc.), Princess Ida and Palie.

This is a splendid opportunity to secure a few first-class
fillies and colts at a reasonable price, and will repay a visit
to Chicago.

Remember that entries close to-day for the
fall meeting- of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association.

Letter from Goodwin Bros-

New York. May 21, 1889.

Editor New York Sportsman:— Your readers are doubt-
less aware that a few weeks ago we made a public offer
through the press, both sporting and daily, to isBue our work
of Official Stake Entries at the low price of §2 per copy, pro-
viding we could obtain orders to the number of two hundred
and fifty. As this offer has proved a total failure, consequent
upon our having received but eight replies, we shall be com-
pelled to charge the same price as last year, viz., $10 each.

This work will contain the entries which have already
closed, for 1S89-90-91, of the following club3: American,
Coney Island, New York, St. Louis Jockey Clubs, the Mon-
mouth Park and Saratoga Racing Associations; also all stakes
that have closed for 1S90-91 of the Brooklyn Jockev Club
and West Side Park (Nashville).

In addition to the above will be included a voluminous and
complete list of yearlings of 1889. There will be only a lim-
ited number of copies of this work issued.

Kespectiully yours, Goodwix Bros.

The Colt at Weaniner Time and After.

Mr. Seymour Brooks, of Wisconsin, in a paper before a re-
cent Wisconsin Farmer's Institute, gave the following valua-
ble suggestions as to the proper method of handling the trot-
ting bred colt at weaning time and after:
"At weaning time tie the mare in a box stall, put a halter on
the colt and tie him by her side. That will be satisfactory
to both of them. Let loose the colt three times a day to
nurse, for a few days. Bo not give the dam much water; it
will help to dry her milk. Keep a pail of water before the
colt, also bran and oats. In about four days take the mare
away and put her to work. Let us aim to keep the colt
thrieving. It can be done with feed. Different colts will
need different amounts. Do not be afraid of feeding too
much; it will not hurt him. American Eclipse was fed sis
quarts of oats the first year and it did not hurt him. Do not
get the idea that because you are feeding the colt all the hay
he can eat you are doing for him all you can. A colt's stom-
ach is small and does not need much hay. What he wants
is concentrated food, rich in phosphates, to bnild up the
bones and the tendons. Oats and wheat bran contain the
elements needed, with a little hay to distend the bowels.
Give him liberty in a small yard during the day.

When the colt arises go up to him, put your left hand un-
der his neck and your right hand around his hips. Hold
him still; he will he afraid and straggle some, but you can
hold him. He will soon quit straggling and look at you.
Pat and rnb him; he will like it. Keep hold of him until all
fear is gone; then let him loose and he will probably follow
you. Do this several times a day for a few days, and he
will expect to be fondled when you come, and pleasant re-
lations will be established between you. Have a little lump
of sugar in your pocket for him; he will like it and come to
you for his sugar. Pick up his fore feet, rub and pat him
(do not forget the sugar.)

"We left him tied in the box Btall. What are we going to do
next? I should go in there alone, taking a rope along with
me about twenty feet long. Now find the middle of it and
put the loop end over his hips, down in the curve of the
stifle. Tie a knot where the neck sets on the shoulder; put
each end on either side of his neck, and both ends through
the rings of his halter. Untie him and lead him out, which
you can do about as well as you did his mother. He will
not pull back much, neither can he rear up and fall over
backwards, as they do sometimes, striking their heads on the
ground, which is very dangerous. Give him a couple of
lessons in this way; then tie one end of the cord around his
neck, put a loop in his mouth, and you have perfect control
of him. Stand a Utile away from him and tell him to come.
Of course he does not know what it means. Twitch the rope
a little. It hurts, and he will come to you. Step off again
and repeat, and you will teach him very soon to come by the
word without the cord. One thing more should be taught
him while the rope is in his mouth; the most important point
in colt breeding, and which needs to be followed up to horse-
hood — the word whoa. Give him to understand that when
he hears that word it means implicit obedience. Sneak the
word at the same time you give a twitch on the rope. Re-
peat until he minds the word without the cord. This prelim-
inary work faithfully done, harnessing and driving will be a
mere pastime. My excuse for consuming so much time in
colt breaking is that a high-spirited colt spoiled by education
becomes a worthless brute, and the fault lies at the door of
the teacher.

Sell at any time you are offered a good price. Do not wait
to get the last dollar in them. Give the buyer a chance to
make something on them.

A trotting mare owned by John J. Scannell, of New York
City, who has a cottage at Saratoga, was almost destroyed
there one day last week, by a dog owned by Sullivan, his
coachman. Tne dog attacked the mare in her stall and tore
her savagely about the head and hmbft. The dog had to be
shot before it could be removed from the stall. The mare
coat Mr. Scannell $2,300 and had a 252 record.

Some weeks ago we gave the mile record of Geo. Taylor as
2:4ti to harness and 2:44 to saddle. Mr. George Bement,
former owner of the horse, notib'es us that Gen. Taylor has a
record to harness of 2:44 and to saddle 2:4H.

Please give an interpretation of Rule 6, See. 4, of Rules and
Regulations of the National Trotting Association, as applied
to the following case:

A enlers a colt in a stake. After making two payments,
he finds a colt entered in races in a neighboring couutry
under the same name. Is it necessary under Section 4,
of Rule 6, in ordea to change name, to procure a record there-
of in the office of the Secretary of the National Trotting
Association?

Answer — You need not change the name unless you want
to; if so, simply notify the Secretary of the stake, unless the
colt has already started in a race, then you will have to
have the name changed by the N. T. A , which will cost vou
§50.

I hereby claim the name of AnUeos for bay colt, foaled
1889, by Anteeo, dam Young Miarz,i, by Paul's Abdallah.

Also, the name of Lisbet for black filly, three years old, by
Young Kisbar, dam Cassanolia by Altamont.

I do not know whether Dan McCarty is trying to engage
all the riders in the East or not, but only a few days before
he left San Francisco he old me that Hamilton woold rir!e
Sorrento in the American Derby, and within a very|short|time
Mb brother quietly informed me that Hamilton would surely
ride the sorrel colt. By the New York Spirit of May 25th it
seems that Fitzpatrick will have the mount on Dan's colt,
so you simply pay your money and take your choice.

Urbana was disqualified and all bets changed at the Brook-
lyn meeting a fortnight ago because she had not carried her
correct- weight, although she did carry the weight allotted her
by the officials. Since then tbe following rule has been
adopted by the American and Coney Island Jockey Clubs:
"If a horse be disqualified on account of incorrect weight,
tbe decisior shall not apply to bets provided the weight pub-
lished in the programme or corrected on the Notice Board
was carried."

Reference— J. B. HAGGIN. ESQ.

gritting his teeth, he nerves himself for the boom, which ends
his suspense, and comes near ending his career, as his gun
muzzle, after covering every bit of space within 20 yards
around the target, excepting the immediate section of the
horizon hidden from view by the target, at the crash of the
burning powder, is seen to rash wildly backward as if trying
to bore a hole in poor Bob's right lung. The poor fellow
succeeds in keeping his feet but is pushed some few yards
back from score. The gun, after its first mad and Sullivan-
like rush, seems to change its mind, and apparently perfectly
satisfied with making Bob's nose bleed, cutting his finger,
blacking both eyes, developing a new bump on his forehead
and leaving shoulder and arm of rainbow hue, sullenly drops
into the mud, muzzle down.

"When it is announced that Bob haR missed the target
entirely, the withering glances of scorn cast upon poor Kob
by the grizzled veterans present would have forever crushed
the rising ambition and budding renown ot a less determined
pupil of the Caverian science than Kob.

Now Jerry Mitchell, Dave Crackell, Buck Walker and sev-
eral others of lesser repute, have their whine at the giddy
target, some haviog their shooting clothfs od, others finding
it to be their off day, and you know one iB apt to take a drop
once in awhile, so it was thiB memorable day.

Many reputations were ruined and several made, but none
as yet had equalled the target of the redoubtable Bill Giles,
and his wonderful target threatens to be banded down to
posterity sb the "best on record."

Bill and his particular circle of adherents are away up, and
many is the "Benzine" they have had to properly express
their sentiments. He is the admired of all eyes, the envy of
others, and by a big majority "the lion of the day."

"Kid" Smith's excellent score of four pellets is so far third
best, Jakey Allen proudly sustaining the honors of being
second tiddler to Bill.

Jim and his chum, having mildly and modestly as became
them while in the presence of the great lights of the day, j
expressed a feeble desire to point their breech loaders at the '
target, after payment of the fee demanded to entitle them to
compete with the champions, take their guns out of their
oases and putting them together, Jim's chum steps to the
chalk line, undismayed by the contemptuous glances of the
boys upon his new tangled "britch" loading gun, the unani-
mous opinion of the swains gathered together being that the
poor little bizoess wouldn't throw the shot half way up to the
target; one young buck telling his pardner that the blamed
thing would bust aod kill the sickly lookin dood. Bill GileB
ver / considerately, considering that he was the recognized
champion, offered to loan him his Killdeer, bnt Jim's chum
remained unmoved, and declined all offers of assistance.

Throwing his gun out hastily and Bhooting at the same
■ jtant, he stepped back to make room for Jim and a new
t '■'get.

■\ yell of derision went up from the rugged throats of the
-marred and bemedalcd nhnropions present, at the orack of
belittle gun, everyone but Jim and his ohum thinking he
hid failed to reaoh the turkey target.

Bat tbs yells of scorn speedily change to sullen, jnojrose

and sulky silence when scorer announces that the target is
riddled and that they would havo to adjourn the meeting
and hire the village school master to count the holes, as the
scorer could not count above 100. Finally Jim and hiB chum
agreed to count them between them, with the local biroh
swinger as referee, but the job growing tedious they turned
the target over to the teacher and one of his big puppies to
tinish, and as they found the job extremely dry they
adjourned to the neighboring saloon, and when Jim and his
chum left town that night they left them still counting, and
maybe counting yet for all they ever found out to the con-
trary. Jim himself now steps to the score, and the target
he made was even better than his chums. Great is now the
commotion. Soch doings have never before been beard tell
of in this burgh, various comments upon the matter beiog
made more loudly than politely. Some suggest "tar and
feathers," others suggest burning at the stake on the charge
of spiritualism or sleight o'hand, others more credulouB
affirm that the charge of shot used by each had exceeded half
a pound to each gun. None of them suspecting the innocent
and mild mannered strangers had used only one and a
quarter ounce of No. 10 shot, while they themselves had
nsed No. 1 and B. B.'s, Next comes a dispute as to whom
the turkey belongs, as the teacher and his pnpie are no
nearer finding out how many pellets there are in Jim's chum's
target. Jim's target will have to remain forever uncounted
as they have run out of counting talent. Finally Jim and
his chum agree to compromise, one paying the other for his
half of the turkey.

The boys object to letting them shoot, but finally agree to
do so if they will handicap themselves 10 yards, and pav
double the entrance fee eaob, the distance and fee to be
doubled np after each shoot. In this way the boys hope to
get these hoodoo's ont of the country by moving them back
each time. Vain hope.

After the 20 turkeys are exhausted the scores stand:

1st Shoot— Jim and Chum Turkey

2d " Jfm'a chum and Jim "

:ird " Jim and chum "

4th " Jira'H chum and Jim "

6th " Jim and chum "

16th " Ohutn and Jim "

l?th " Jim and Ohum "

18th " Chmu and Jim "

19th " Jim and Cbum "

20th " Jim "

The reason that Jim woo the last turkey alone was that at
the eighteenth bird only two shooters remained besides our
two heroes, aud these two, being gamblers in a small way,
had decided to see the thing out if it took a ljinb, hoping
iucfe wpujd Phafige aod shine upon them again,

But when the nineteenth bird went the same way as the
others, patience ceased to be a virtue, aud oar heroes had the
field to themselves, one of the gamblers at parting offering to
shake dice for the lot. But our heroes, being virtuous, were
not to be deluded out of their hard-earned birds. They there-
fore kindly but firmly refused to gamble.

The proprietor now refosee to allow them to shoot for the
remaining turkey for their two entrance fees, but npou their
allowing him to shoot their gun and stand at ten yards from
target he agreed.

He stepped to the ten-yard mark and fired the blank car-
tridge they had inserted in his gun, bat he never touched it.
Jim and chum now having been moved and handioapped
back nearly into next county, were shooting a round ball
wrapped in au old piece of flannel instead of shot. Chum
missed the tnrget entirely. Jim also missed. There now
being a tie, it was mutually decided to shoot it off on same
terms, our heroes positively refusing to go back another
yard, and demanded permission to shoot in the 1.000-yard
style, prone on ground, which being granted, they very
kindly, as before, gave the proprietor a blank cartridge with
powder only, so he wouldn't hurt anybody At first there
threatened to be trouble, the village constable appearing on
the scene with a gun at the instanc of the former sore headed
and disguntled shooters, having sworn out a warrant. The
constable was directed to attach their guns, being charged
with being bunco men and thimble riggers.

They finally persuaded the limb of the law of their inno-
cence, and gained hiB permission to continue their Bpnrt,
another entanglement occurring when the pr prietor asked
permission to use the coustable's gun. They succeeded in
persuading the prop that the reason he had missed before
was because the guns were extremely choked, and he would
have to aim as deadly and trueae with a rih'e, upon which he
took i her ahotless gun and scored another goo<*e egg.
■ Jim cut the lower edge of pnp^r with his bullet having to
make allowance for droo of ball from a smooth bored shot-
gun, held his gnu straight up iu the air in line with target,
and that the mnzzle was held at right elevation was proved
by hitting target.

That's how he came to win last turkev alone

On their way to depot that evening, they noticed skulking
aronndiu the rear of station, several of their late antagonists
with a keg of turpentine, vigorously trying to get on the out-
side of it in tbeir mad rush for a spell of forgetfnllness.

Their grief ib so great, however, that one barrel seems
Bhookingly small to drown so much sorrow.

Jim's ohnm cruelly accosted the onl\ one sober enough to
understand English. Say! Bill, you didn't lose any tnrbeys
no* nothin. did you?

Let's know rfhen you have another shoot. We don't care
nothin for turkeys, bnt do love to shoot with kind fellows
like yourselves.

But the last sentence has been waBted on an empty air.

The grizzled and battle scared peterana have vanished un-
der the platform. Jay See En.

The intention of the Directors of this Association is to make this place a central paint for racing Jn
California. They recognize the fact, that in ord<r to do^o tbey have gtt to give large puises in order to get
first-class horses. Knowing they havj as well-appointed grounds and as good a track as there Is in Call,
fornia, having first-class stabling and the best Club House on any track in California, and plenty of fine
grass for horses the whole year, and by dealing jusily and fairly with the horsemen, we hope to receive
their patronage. We are situated about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes it
an accessible point for the patronage of the whole State.

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

We, the undersigned, do certify that the Fresno Fair Grounds Association is perfecily responsible
and its statements are reliable:

Onward, 1411, is one of the noted sires of to-day. In
1837 he placeo seven performers in the 2:30 list, includ-
ing Hoiirl: three-year-old record 2:19ft; while in 1888
he still further sustains his reputation by adding nine
of bis Bone and daughters to the list. Onward com-
bines the blood of the two 'great trotting families,
Hambletonian 10 and Mambrino Chief 11, and derives
Mb speed inheritance direct through the greatest son
of the one family, and the greatest daughter of the
other,

Onward's dam was Dolly (the dam of Director, 2;17.

one of the greatest speed -p rod uring brood mares that
ever lived. George Wilkes stands at the head of the
list of sires of fast trot ers with 65 performers with
recordo of 2 :30 or better, and the combination of these
two great producers will breed on with absolute cer-
tainty.

PEDIGREE.

By Sidney.

First dam Flirt bv Buccaneer.

Second dam Mohaska Belle by Flaxtail.

Third dam bv John the Baptist.

Sidnev by Santa Clans, 2:17!^, his dam Sweetness,
2;1l]4. Strathmore, the son of Santa Claus, has 22 of
his get which have trotted in 2:30 or better, up to close
of 18*7, several having entered since, and Volun-
teer, the sire of Sweetness, has 26 in the same list.
Buccaneer is the sire of Shamrock, two-year-old rec-
ord2:25, and of Flight, 2 ;29, and in him are combined
the strains of Long Island Blackhawk, Vermont
Blackhawk,andthe dam of Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
Flaxtail figures prominently in both pacing and trot-
ting descendants, and is the sire of the dam of Apex,
2:2)>, Flight, 2:29, J. H. McCormack, 2:29, and Sham-
rock, 2 :2o.

PERFORMANCES.

Memo only trotted in public in his two-year-old form,
obtaining a record of 2:19, though he was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
0' dheat of which was made In 2:31 y>, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed whenthree years old,
and had it not been tor a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock there is little question that he would have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20Jtf, and frequently
trotted quarters in from 32 % to 31 seconds.
DESCRIPTION.

He is nearly if not quite sixteen hands high, and of
powerful build throughout. His color is a glossy black,
with both fore-feet white and a touch of white on his
off hindquarters. His disposition is all that could be
desired, and his act'o n sunerb.

Tkkms: One hundred dollars the season.

1889.

JOHN ROWEN,

Oakland Trotting Park.

SIRE OF YOI.O MAID, 9:14.

Alexander Button.

Alexander's Record, *:3i 1-4:

DESCRIPTION.

Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine How in
zuaoe and tail; stands 15-35. hands high; weigh
1,200- pounds, and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a recurd of 2:28>£, and when
four vears old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of 2:26}£. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been driven a last half in 1:0. .
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
through tbe speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to his offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced 18 heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world'B record of 2:14.
Rosle Mc, as a five-year-old, rarely ever breaks: has
a record of 2:20¥. R. H. Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2:16 gait, and there are several other
colts that show gaits from 2:16 to 2:20. Considering
that Alexander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his colts show hiin to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, he is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

PEDIGREE.

Alex. Button was sired by Alexander, he by Geo. M.
Patchen, Jr., his dam Lady Button by Napa Rattler by
Biggett's Rattler, he by Sir Henry, and he by imported

tonlan, dam of Napa Rattler, thoroughbred.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1889.

The property of S. N. Straube, Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, Fresno, Gal.

Having given in the last two issueB of the Breeder and
Sportsman correct and faithful likenesses of Clovis and
Pasha, we this week present to our readers a splendid pic"
Jure of Mr. Straube's third stallion Apex, by Prompter, dam
Mary by Flax Tail. This magnificent specimen of the equine
species is making the season Dt the grounds of the Fresno
Fair Association, of which Mr. Straube is one of the Directors
and largest stockholder. It is not material to the description
of Apex to state who owned him prior to his falling into the
hands of his present owner, Buffice it to state that his pres-

ent record of 2:26, was no* a measure of his speed when at
Santa Rosa, in (he fall of 1886, he got the mark. It was well
known to the stable and a few intimates that he could at any
time necessary, trot in 2:20 or 2:21, but it would not have
suited the book of those who were handling him to
give him such a low record. At the invitation of
Mr. Straube, the writer but a short time ago, piid a visit to
the beautiful grounds of the association which is already
becoming famous on account of the large purse which wilt
be run for on the 20th of next November. A visit to the

' livery stable in which Mr. Straube keeps his own driving
team, resulted in our finding a beautiful pair of mares already
hitched up and awaiting our arrival. They are Lela S. by
C. P. Duane, he by St. Clair; and Baby S. by Nephew, dam
Lady Burns; Baby S. is a full sister to Baby Mine, 2:27.
Away we went through the city until we reached Ventura
avenue, along whioh the finely matched pair went at a 3:20
clip, out to the gates of the park. On reaching the stables
we found the old reliable John Douahoo in charge of Mr.
Straube's string of trotters, looking after the welfare of 1

pets. At our request Apes was brought out of his large,
roomy box stall, and he is fit to show in company, being a
particularly handsome type of the American trotting horse.
He is a beautiful bay, with black legs and left hind foot
white, the only other white on him being a star in forehead.
He is an elegantly proportioned horse, being built from the
ground up. He stands 15* hands in height, and weighs in
the neighborhood of 1100 pounds. He is of kind and gentle
disposition, having none of the vices, and a gTeat favorite
with all the men, who are at work on the grounds. In gait
he is Bimply faultless, having exceedingly fine action, and a
clean frictionless way of going that impresses the beholder
favorably. Apex has bean long enough in the stud to stamp
him as a sore foal getter and a great producer of speed, for
all of his get are exceptionally good trotters. When the
season is over Mr. Straube may possibly have him preparde
to beat his present record, a? the horse in daily exercise can
now beat 2:30. Apex, as stated above, is by Prompter 2305,
he by Wilson's Blue Bull 75; first dam Mary by Flax Tail,
hebyPruden's Blue Bell. Flax Tail is the sire of the dam
of Buccaneer (five-year-old record 2:24£), Pride, yearling
(record 2:44*), and Shamrock (two-year-old record 2:25 in
third heat); second dam by Bright Eyes, son of Boanerges.
Prompter is sire of Transit, 2:2ti$, by Wilson's Blue Ball.
Prompter's dam is Prairie Bird by Flax Tail.

From the above it will be seen that Apex is a closely inbred
Blue Ball, which makes him a horse that Bhould be much
sought after, now that the Blue Bull blood is considered so
precious. This very desirable stallion has had a heavy sea-
son, mares having been sent to him from all over the State.
Mr. Straube himself Bent quite a number of his gilt-edged
mares from the ranch up to the race track to be served by
thiB glorious son of Prompter, and feels assured that he
will ere long have as speedy trotters as any other breeder in
the State. Among the brood mares to be seen at the track
are Silver Dollar, by Silver Threads, dam Silver Tail. She
has a stylish filly at her side by Strathway, and has been
bred to Apex. Silver Dollar, it will be remembered, is out
of the same dam that foaled Mr. Valensin's Tow Head. She
is only eleven years old and should prove one of the queens
of the harem. Another fine mare is the beautiful chestnut,
Lottie, 7 years old, by David Hill 857, dam by Echo. Lottie
is full sister to Artist 2:26J. She is a grand individual, of
great power and muscle, and oan go any distance, withal she
is kind and gentle, a lady being able to drive her anywhere.
A fine looking bay filly next claimed attention, she being
Gertrude, by Pasha, dam Gitana, by Echo. In close prox-
imity were two brown fillies both by Pasha, one being out of
Six Bits by Hock Hocking. These three youngsters jast
mentioned, are all bred to Apex and will undoubtedly prove
themselves worthy matrons. In all Mr. Straube has 21 mares,
which he has bred to Apex, and it should not be long before
the fame of Apex, as a oire, should be heralded from Siskiyou
to the Mexican line.

Mr. Donahoo has quite a number of Mr. Straube's horses
in training, and even this early in the season, they look in
fine enough fettle, to stand a camDaigning. A beautiful bay
named Consolation, is a grand mover and gives every indica-
tion of great speed. She is by Dexter Prince, dam Nigger
Girl by Peerless.

A bay colt by Anteeo, dam Mande Medium by Milton
Medium, is a fast youngster, and will make the fire fly when
he meets his rivals on the turf. He is a shapely bit of horse-
flesh and is as promising a colt as the writer has seen this
year.

Dot is only a yearling, being one of the get of Apex but
she showed a quarter in 53 secondB, and is as yet hardly
bridle wise. It is just possible that with careful preparation,
Dot way lower the present yearling record.

Castro, is a fine specimen of the typical trotting horse. He
is only two years old, by Clovis, dam Carrie Stoner by
Steinway. He haB already shown eighths in 19 seconds, and
qnarters in 42J, and every day is improving in speed. Castro
in a magnificent iron grey, standing almost 16 handB in height,
and will prove a hard one to beat.

Mr. Straube and J. A. Clark, of Bakersfield, own together
a nice bay gelding six years old, named White Ash, who made
a record this spring of 2:35. He is by Bay Allen, he by
Ethan Allen, Jr., dam by Chieftain. White ABh is a very
large horse, and must weigh at present about 1,300 pounds.
Mr. Donahoo feels confident of placing him well within the
"30" list before the summer finishes.

Geo. Rupert has at the track, and also under Mr. Dona-
hoo's charge, the bay atallion Archie Dean, by Richard's
Elector, dam by Corsican, he by Lexington. The colt is
only three years old and iB of great promise, showing a good
turn of speed already.

Ex-Congressman Loutitt, of Stockton, has at the traok,
the five-year-old Congressman, 2:32J, a record which he got
at Fresno last year, in the three minutes class, the three
heats being trotted in 2:32A, 2:33A and 2:34. He will lower
this very materially during the present season.

After a look at the hornes, we were shown all over the
grounds of the association, and must confess that the track
and surroundings have not an equal in the State. At the
meeting last fall, there was not room enough to accommo-
date all who wanted to occupy the grind stand, so the
Directors have determined to tear down the old Btand and
replace it with a handsome new edifice that will bold at
leaBt three times the nnmber that the present one holds. The
new club house for members use is an elegant building con-
sisting of parlors, sitting rooms, dining rooms, kitchen, etc ,
with accommodation on the porch for three hundred persons
to Bit and view the races. There is now stalls to the number
of over two hundred, and there will be additional ones built
before the next meeting. Five hundred shade trees have been
put out thiB spring and fifteen hundred more will be planted
next year. The walks from the main entrance, up to the
traok have been bordered with trees, many of them
being what is known as the umberella tree, which are excel-
lent for shading purposes. Flowers of all kinds ore in abund-
ance, lending a pleasant sight to the eye. The track itself is
in splendid condition, and cannot be improved on, the
water-cart, harrow and roller all playing an important part in
keeping the course perfect. The directors have diplayed
unusual liberality in the purses offered for trotttirs and run-
ners this fall, the $20,000 purse especially, having advertised
tbe city of the plains in a manner which in time is bound to
bear good fro.it.

The most encouraging reports comes from Manager Bald-
win, who is at present in the East, and it is confidently
believed that several of the noted cracks will visit the golden
shore not only to try and win the heavy purse, but also to
reap the benefit of a winter in this gloriouB climate.

Guenoc Stud Farm.

"Nature, she oath done her part,
Do tbou but thine." — Milton.

The words of the poet are easily quoted but my task is no
easy one. Nature hath indeed done her part, in the section
of Lake County visited last week by me, bat it would require
the pen and descriptive faculty of a George Augusta Sala to
attempt to portray the beauty and grandeur that nature has
bestowed on the region of country, lately purchased by
Fredric Gebhard Esq., of New York. After several visits to
the coast, Mr. Gebhard determined to start a stock farm in
California, feeling assured that it was the best State in the
Union, in which to breed horses; so a commission was given
Gen. W. H. L. Barnes to purchase the best farm procurable
for the purpose. After looking up several places that were
for sale the General finally selected the breeding establish-
ment now known as the Guenoc Stud Farm.

C. W. Aby was at once secured as general manager and
superintendent, hiB long years of service with the Harpers at
the Nantura Stud in Kentucky peculiarly fitting him for the
responsible position. In Jane of last year Dr. Aby visited
the farm, saw what was necessary in the way of immediate
improvements, left orders for the needed changes and started
back East again to bring out the horses which were to form
the nucleus of the breeding portion of tbe farm. After a
short stay the return trip wap commenced on August 12,
1883. On the morning of the 13th the accident occurred at
Shohola Glen in which so many horses were killed, and from
which Mr. Aby and Matt Storn so narrowly escaped death.
Of the three stallions and nine broodmares in the car, only
two were saved, St. Savior, by Eolus, dam War Song by War
Dance, and the mare Mineral by Spendthrift, dam Potash II.
by Lord Clifden, were the fortunate ones; all tbe others
being killed.

Just prior to the death of Eole, Mr. Gebhard had refused
§30,000 for a three years' lease of Eole for stallion purposes,
as he was desirous of taking him to the California Farm.
When it was known the services of the horse could not be
leased, a bid of ©45,000 was offered for him outright, but
this was also refused.

After a lengthened stay in the doctor's hands, the trip was
again resumed, Mr. Aby reaching San Francisco on Oct.
19th, going up at once to Guenoc to straighten out affairs
which had become complicated owing to his unavoidable
delay. Lumber of all kinds and posts was ordered in pro-
fusion and plans for the various paddocks, meadow lands,
grain and hay fields drawn up, so that the workmen could
continue the improvements, which bad been at a standstill
for two months or more. On the 12th of December he Btarted
East once more to buy the very beat stallion that money
could procure, to replace thoBe lost, and also to bring out
what mares Mr. Gebhard still had left. A careful scrutiny
was made of all the desirable stallions in the market, and the
choice finally fell on Greenback by Dollar, out of Music by
Stockwell. This horse had been consigned to Mr. Wm.
EiBton of New York, and was considered tbe best horse ever
imported into America, many of the Eastern horsemen
claiming that they had never seen his equal. The return
trip was made and this time the car load of horses arrived
safely.

As soon as the new comers were safely housed an adver-
tisement was inserted in the Breeder and Sportsman notify-
ing the pnblic that the stallions were going to stand fox public
service, and already more than thirty of the finest thorough-
bred brood mares in the State have been sent to the embrace
of either St. Savior or Greenback. When in San Francisco a
few weeks ago Mr. Aby invited the writer to visit the farm
and see the latest acquisitions to the breeding interests of the
State. Last Friday morning a start was effected, and ut 11.30
Calistoga was reached. After a hurried luncheon the stage
started for Middletown, a distance of eighteen miles, over
the St. Helena Mountains. The grand panoramic view
which is to be seen from the stage roid of the upper section
of Napa Valley is well worth the entire trouble and cost of
the trip. Stretching for miles and miles, the eye is entranced
with the charming effect, the thousands of acres of vineyards
lending their enchanting col >r to the golden hue of the
grain, causing a blending that is particularly pleasant when
viewed from an elevation of 2,300 feet. Nestling awav off
in one corner, seemingly, is the bustling little city we left so
lately, now only assuming the dimensions of a hamlet, it is
bo far away. The summit is reached, and after a refreshing
glass of ice cold spring water we are off again, making the
descent and headed for Lake County. At 3.30 we arrive at
Middletown, where Mr. Aby is in waiting with carriage and
four, the gold-mounted harness glittering in the son and the
four "bang tails" eager to be away. The drive of eight miles
was only interrupted once, and that by meeting the school
teacher on her way home from the school, and something
about the breeching was wrong. An offer of assistance was
refused, as the lady had almost completed the repairs neces-
sary when we arrived at the spot. From Middletown to Mr.
Gebhard's is about ten miles, tbe road being on the edge of
the valley, most of which is owned by two persons only.

On arriving at the residental quarters, servants were at
hand to take charge of the horses and the baggage, and Dr.
Aby cordially invites us to enter. And what a Bigbt as we
enter the door of the main room or office. The walls are
literally covered with pictures of race-horses and bric-a-brac.
Over the mantel piece is a magnificent picture of the mighty
Eole, painted by that prince of artists Henry Smll; Billy
Donahoe is in the saddle, wearing the colors of Mr. Gebhard,
the pictnre being so natural that the spectator oculd almost
imagine that the horse would step out from the oanvas.
Another elegant pointing is the plantation at Newmarket,
England. The ecene has been taken from life, there being
lotB of familiar faces on the sheet. The Prince of Wales is
standing talking to some of the set, while Sir George Cbet-
wynd is evidently giving Fred Aroher his final instructions.
The Duke of Beaufort is in earnest conversation with Lord
Grosvenor, and Mr. Gebhard is seen in the midst of friends.
The picture is filled with well known celebrities, both ladies
and gentlemen. Still another picture represents the j jckey's
dressing room, and almost every face familiar to the racing
pablic can be seen in their respective colors. Archer, Watts,
Odborne, Fjrdham, Loates, Martin, the two Barretts, and a
host of others, give a color to the scene that is enjoyable to
those who have witnessed the boys dressing at old New-
market. "The start," "Tottenham corner" and "The finish
for the Derby" are exquisite representations of that classic
event. There are beautiful pictures of American Eolipse,
Lexington, Longfellow, Tenbroeck, Iroquois, Spendthrift,
Hindoo, Tom Bowling. Freeland and Miss Woodford, but

the gem of the pictnre gallery is a representation of a pack of
fox-hounds in full cry after reynari: a fence has impeded
the chase momentarily, but Borne are already over, while
others are on top or stuck in the holes in tbe fence. Oue is
in the act of jumping, and has left the top of fence, bot is
Btill in the air, and the comical expression on that dog's face
is enough to make anyone forget the blues for a month.

"What is the matter with you, the dinner bell has been
ringing for twenty minutes. Come, you can look at the pic-
tures again."

The long ride gives one an appetite, especially, when you
find out that the chef, is Black Henry, one of the best cookB
that Kentucky ever prodnced. There are no secrets in gas-
tronomy to him, from gumbo to corn pone and possum, he
is a master.

After dinner we were shown all over the house, bedrooms
without number, Btore rooms, veterinary room containing
every thing that may be wanted in case of illness or accident,
sporting room, with every conceivable style of rifle and Bhot
gun, fishing poles and tackle, ammunition, etc., bath room,
parlor, dining room and kitchen go to make op one of the
cosiest country residences in the State. While enjoying a
pipe on the verandah, Dr. Aby points out the improvements
made and those contemplated. Directly in front of the house
will be the race track, on which the youngsters will be put
through their paces, the porch being the grand stand from
which to view the colts. Between the house and the track, a
beantifnl lawn and flower garden has been commenced which
when finished, will rival the famous lawn and promenade at
Flemington, Australia.

When sufficiently rested, a walk is taken to the stable and
ths stud groom is requested to bring out Greenback. As the
beautiful animal is led out, a little cry of surprise rises to
my lips, where have I seen an exact representation of tbat
horse before? the head, neck, shoulders, brisket, everything
is the exact prototype of some horse that I have seen away
back in the past somewhere.

He is a deep seal brown in color, fourteen years old, Btands
almost 16 hands in height, has good legs, plenty of mnscle,
great, wi^e hips, rangy in body, and gives every evidence of
having a good constitution and any amonnt of vigor. In
movement he seems to resemble the eel, having a quick,
serpentine motion as he glides along. And now the thought
comes, that motion recalls one of the best race horses I ever
knew. Old Lady Amanda is the horse I had been trying to
think of, and by comparing the tabulated pedigree of Green-
back it will be seen that there is a close relationship by the
Bay Middleton blood.

Greenback, aB will be seen, is a superbly bred horse. He
is a Bon of the French horse Dollar, who was by Flying
Dutchman, dam Payment by Slave. Dollar's dam was the
dam of Florin, the sire of Floientin, winner of the French
Derby in 1866, and of Mantilla, the champion French two-
year-old of 1878. Dollar's merit as a sire is famous, as be
got Salvator, St. Cyr, Peria, Almanza, Nethan, Fontainebleu,
Salvanos, Torrent and Androcles. One of nis daughters,
Nellie James, prodnced Jack of Hearts, Jacobus, etc., in Mr.
Belmont's stud. Salvator won the Grand Prix de Paris and
French Derby in 1875, and Salvanos won the Cesarewitch in
1872. On the side of his dam Greenback is glorious. His
dam was the Duke of Hamilton's great mare Music, the best
brood mare in Europe. She has foaled Ossian, Fiddler, Song,
Songstress, Nina, Poetry, etc., Nina being one of the best
two-year-olds ot 1885, winning the Clearwell, Bretby, and
Homebred. As for Ossian, she won the St. Leger, while
Fiddler beat Foxhall for the Alexandria Plate. Music is a
daughter of Stockwell, from the invincible One Act, by
Annandale; 3d dam Extravaganza, by Voltaire, etc., gives
Greenback an infusion of Blacblook blood. Greenback was a
really good race horse, winning the Sketchworth Stakes, at
Newmarket, as a two-year-old, and the Earl Spencer Plate, at
Northampton, as a three-year-old. The Peel Handicap, the
Queen's Plate at Ayr, and the Caledonian Cup at the same
place, also fell to his share. He has got several wionerB,
naving sired Greenlight, Greenjacket, Greenshauk, Green-
wave, Greenhorn, etc He is the only direot representative
of Bay Middle toil's male line in America, and will be a grand
outcroBB for onr native mares.

Of St. Savior it is hardly necessary to say anything, for his
career on the turf gave him such a reputation that almost
every breeder in the country knows exactly what and who
he is. Only beaten once in his racing career, and then by
that first class horse Rataplan, he would not have been
defeated then, but he was struck on the off fore leg and
came under the wire second, on three legs only, in a field of
twelve. A creditable performance even if beaten.

In color he is a golden bay, black legs, with three white
feet, star in forehead and white snip on muzzle. He was
foaled in 1881, stands close to 17 hands, and weighs almost
1300 pounds. St. Savior "is built from the ground up,"
being t ne personification of immense strength and qmility.
Although very largo, in faot strong enough for a work horse,
there is not a particle of coarseneBs about him, aud yet a
person not versed in the highest type of thoroughbreds,
would not hesitate an instant in picking out St. Savior as
his choice from the largest band of running horses ever
brought together. The Ealns slock nre all noted Btayers, and
simply revel in mud, consequently this grand stalliou will
undoubtedly have next season all the mares he can attend to.

Among others, the following mares have been bred this
seaBon to these two famous stallions:

After an inspection of the stallions and mares we mean-
dered back to the comfortable easy chairs on the porch,
where the evening was pleasantly spent listening to stories
of Dr. Aby's early life, and arranging for a fishing and
hunting excursion next day. On the following morning all
hands were up at 5 o'clock except the scribe, who, I must
confess, was thoroughly tired out with the traveling of the
previous day. At 7 o'clock a good, hearty breakfast was
disposed of, and before 8 we were on our way to the moun-
tains, passing in our rambles the field hands busily cutting
hay in the mammoth enclosure set aBide for that crop.
Great waving fields of grain and immense pastures luxuriant
in alnliree and clover grasses are gone through as we wend
our way to the hunting grounds. At the extreme further
side of the valley from the residence there is a large pond 170
acres in extent, filled, with cat fish and carp, many of which
were caught before the return home was made. Doves in
quantity were killed, and the fried fish and pot pie which
garnished the breakfast table Sunday morning attested to the
skill of the Nimrods and disciples of "Walton.

There are altogether 3300 acres in the farm, including the
foothill lands, but at present there are only about S00 acres
under cultivation. Prior to Mr. Gerhard buying the place only
300 acres had been cultivated and it has necessitated a great
deal of work and a large expenditure of money to get things
into their present go ^d shape. After the harvest season is over
Dr. Abey will go East again, to purchase a lot of brood mares
for the farm, it being the present intention of the proprietor
to make the breedirjg establishment second to none in the
country.

Guaranteeing" Soundness in Selling Horses.

The difference between a simple warranty and afraudulen
misrepresentation is one of knowledge on the part of the per-
son making it. A vendor, in order to make a sale, says a
horse is sound. If he honestly thinks so, although the ani-
mal proves to be unsound, the purchaser is boand by the
bargain, but may bring an action for damages for breach of
the warranty. If, however, the seller knew the horse was
not sound when he made the statement, it is a fraud, and
the purchaser may send back the animal, and sue for the
money paid, or may keep and sue for his damages in an
action for deceit. It is held that if the vendor refuses to
take the animal back, the purchaser, after he has offered to
return it, may sell it for the best price he can get, and collect
the difference, together with the cost of keeping. The" ordi-
nary damages for a breach of warranty is the difference
between the actual value of Ihe animal and what it would
have b^en worth if it had been as warranted. The rules of
law in regard to warranty and fraud apply to an exchange of
property the same as in cases of sales for money.

When a person sells an animal which he knows to be in-
fected with a contagious disease that is in consequence com-
municated to the herd of the purchaser, the seller is liable
for all the loss to the cattle in the purchaser's herd by reason
of their catching the disease. When a horse was represented
to be perfectly gentle and kind, the purchaser knowing such
representations to be falBe, and the first time the purchaser
hitched up the horse ran and kicked and overturned the
buggy, throwing out the driver, it was held in a suit for
damages that the purchaser could recover for the injuries to
the buggy and to his person. — Kentucky Stock Farm.

What constitutes an unsound horse or other animal ? Per-
haps, says a writer, the best definition is that given by an
English judge, in an exchange, a good many years ago, and
which had been often quoted in the courts since: "If at the
time of the sale the horse has any disease which either does
diminish the natural usefulness of the animal so as to make
him less capable of work of any description, or which in its
ordinary progress will diminish the natural usefulness of the
animal; or if the horse has either from disease or accident
undergone any alteration of structure that either actually
does at the time, or in its ordinary effects will, diminish the
natural usefulness of the horse, such horse is unsound." It
is held by the English courts, and generally in this country,
that a warranty of soundness is broken if the animal had any
infirmity which rendered him less tit for present service;
that is not necessary that the disorder should be permauent
or incurable. In Massachusetts, however, the supreme
court has said that lameness, if only accidental and tempor-
ary, would be a beach of warranty, and it is probable the
law* that a temporary and curable trouble, athough existing
at the time of sale, if it does not injure the animal for present
service, is not an unsoundness. From what has been said
above it will be seen that many thingB which diminish the
value of an animal do not make it unsound. Balking, back-
ing, biting, shying, running away, kicking, etc., are vices in
a horse which are not covered by a warranty of soundness,
but would be covered by a warranty of freedom from vice.
It has been argued both in medical books and in the courts
whether cribbing is an unsoundness or only a bad habit. It
has been decided that if the cribbing has affected his health
and condition so that the horse is less tit for present service
the animal is unsound. It is also claimed that the habit, if
confirmed, is the indication of disease. Buch as will con-
atitue unsoundness.

It is a universal fact that fraud vitiates every contract.
No man is bound by a bargain into which he has been led by
a fraud. The party who is defrauded in a sale may treat the
bargain as of no effect, may return the property bought and
bring suit for the money paid, or defend successfully against
an action for the price, if he has not already paid it. He
must elect to treat the contract as void within a reasonable
time after he has discovered the fraud, or he will be held to
have acquiesced in the purchase and affirmed the contract.
If instead of holding the contract to be void, he chooses to
recognize and affirm it he may do so, and bring suit to re-
cover damage he has sustained by the fraud. Fraud is
defined to be any kind of an art emp'oved by one person for
the purpose of deceiving another. Every false statement,
however, made by a person trying to sell a horse is not con-
sidered fraud in law. The law recognizes the fact that such
a per=on is apt to indulge in talk magnifying the value of his
goods and praising his wares, and will even let him lie a
little as to bow much the property cost him. The law con-
siders such words and statements as "sellers-talk," concern-
ing which "let the buyers beware," and which are not suffi-
cient foundation for an action for fraud. False statements,
to be the grounds of avoiding the sale, or for an action for
deceit, should generally be concerning the animal itself, and
not be wholly confined" to a collateral matter. The purchaser
must have been deceived by the fraud before he can take
advantage of it. If he did not believe the false representations
made to him be was not injured by them, and cannot make
them the basis of any action. Only thfl defrauded party can
rescind the sale on account of fraud. The guilty one is
bound by it unless the other is willing to release him. No
one can take advantage of his own wrong.

On a recent visit to the Eastern States, the Hon. Van B.
De Lashmutt purchased quite a number of trotters. The
following description is taken from the Rural Spirit:

Pilot Champion^ b h, 3, by Pilot Medium 1597, he by
Happy Medium 300, by Hambletonian 10, dam Tackey, 2:26,
by Pilot Jr. 12, the dam of ClasB Lender, 2:22£, Naiad! Queen,
2:20£, Pilot Boy, 2:20. Pilot Champion's dam by Royal
Champion, by Seobey's Champion 307. Royal Champion's
dam by Field's Royal George 83. Pilot Champion's 2d dam
a Blue Bull mare. Pilot Medium, the sire of Pilot Cham-
pion, is the sire of Jack, 2:19}, Lady Bullion, 2:21J as a four-
year-old, Girflue, 2:2S$ as a three-year-old, Knight, 2:294.
These are all records got in public races, in large fields of
horses. Jack won more money than any horse out in 188S,
having won $15,103.50, and beating such horses as Guy,
Geneva S., and many others of the best ones out. Pilot
Champion has had no training to speak of; has only been
hitched to a Bulky a few times; has showed quarters in 0:43;
he will surely make a grand trotter, as well as a great sire.

Dan McCarty in Chicago.

Dan McCarty i3 cutting a swath at Chicago. Of the original
thirty-three trotting horses in bis string, but very few of them
are left. However, Dan has almost fifty horses now. He
sold Sunflower, 2:28, by Elmo, to J. B. Travis of Chicago for
an equivalent of $4,500. He also sold Harry Mack for a
good figure to Harry Romain. Last, but not least, he has
Bold theranning horse Tom Daly to James Murphy, of which
the Horseman has the following to say:

Jim Murphy, Chicago's well-known backet-shop man and
road-rider, made his advent in the Becond race as an owner,
having entered, in his trainer's name, the Bix-year-old cheat-
nnt gelding Tom Daly, by imp. Kyrle Daly, out of Columbia,
by imp. Bonnie Scotland, which he recently purchased from
Dan McCarty, of California, possessor of the famous white
hat. Some of the bookies did not have a very high estimate
of Jim's horse, and put up 10 to 1 against him, bat by the
time the ex-pool-room keeper had gone "down the line" his
horse was favorite, with only 3 to 2 against him. He won in
runaway Btyle, and as it was a selling race there were a num-
ber of bidders for the California winner, which was entered
to be sold for $500. Jim had to put up S355 over the entered
price to retain his horse, but that made only a small hole in
the amount he won from the bookmakers. Before leaving
the track, however, Jim and George West sold the gelding to
G. "W. Poole for $1,000, which was an advance of $250 over
the price paid to McCarty for him on Friday. As is well
known in Chicago, Jim Murphy has a great passion for pacer3
on the road, and generally has from four to six good ones in
his stable; but having wandered momentarily from the side-
wheel path, he feels that he is entitled to a champion record
as an owner of bang-tails, bb he never lost a race from the
time he first invested in the runner until he closed out hia
entire thoroughbred holdings at a good profit. The trotting-
horse trainers at Washington Park were on Sunday very
good-natured over the fact that George West and Jim Murphy
should pick up a strange bang-tail that was lingering among
the trotters and quiety go over to the West Side and do up
the whole gang, bookmakers and all. W. M. Murry, the
Californian, gave the horse his preparatory gallop at Wash-
ington Park, and accompanied him to the West Side track.
Dan McCarty, who sold the horse to Murphy, telegraphed to
his brother in San Francisco to put on $200 for him there,
where the odds was 20 to 1 against him at the opening. It
proved a very clever coup, without much preparation or
premeditation.

A Queer Meal.

A venerable and sedate horse at East Great Plain, near
Norwich, Conn., which has an inquiring mind and is disposed
to swallow things, depending on chance for favorable results,
recently bolted a large bolt of wrapping twine. The ball
rolled in easily, but a knot at the end of the cord anchored
itself to windward between the animal's front teeth, and the
visible piece of twine served as a key to the situation when
the young groomswoman visited the stable and inspected her
steed. There was a somewhat troubled look on the horse's
face as he stood with feet braoed, ears lopped, mouth open,
and in his eyes was a mute appeal that betokened a growing
suspicion that probably the case was hopeless. The lady
unloosed the knot, wound six inches of the cord around her
hand and began to unravel the mystery. The horse kept his
mouth open, looked wise, and seemed to perfectly understand
what was going on — and oat. Yard after yard, fathom by
fathom the animal uncomplainingly yielded up his peculiar
dinner, and on neither side of the manger was a comment
uttered, except that now and then the grateful beast emitted
a sigh, as he observed the external ball swelling in magnitude
and fe.t the internal one steadily diminishing. Finally the
last yard of cord was reeled out of the horse, wound up, and
the ball taken into the house, where the animal conld not
eet at it again; and his look of commingled penit ei
thanksgiviug was sufficient assurance that he had
enough for all coming time.

Racine in India.

Owing to the favor of Kadyard Kiplin, tho well known
journalist and author, who is just retur ning from a seven
years trip in India, we are enabled to give some slight idea of
racing and the way it is conducted in India. The tir3t, and
to most racing men the most important, feature is the betting.
There are a few books, but the principal and favorite way of
betting is the lottery, which is arranged as follows: Everyone
who wishes to be in puts up say five rupees. If there are
twenty in the first lottery and only ten horses, of coarse
when the drawing takes place half of them get blanks. The
one hundred rupees is taken by the pool-seller, who auctions
the tickets off, and whatever thev fetch is equally divided
between the drawer of the ticket and the fund, all of which
goes to the last holder of the ticket. Only the original sub-
scribers can bid in the auctiou, with the exception of the
owner of any horse, who is always allowed to take half of
each and every pool on his own horse if he wishes it. The
whole amount less five per cent, then goes to the winner. It
is evident that there is a great deal of chance in this ^ay, for
if one draws a favorite it is sure to sell tor more than cost
price, and there is a win before ever racing starts. The
Totalizator has been imported from Australia, and has a
slight patronage. It is precisely the same as onr Paris
mutuals. The Umballa Derby Sweep, which was nothing
more than a gigantic Louisiana lottery with the English
Derby as a basis, has been stopped by the Government. The
furore caused by it was tremendous, money coming in from
all over the world, and it was productive of so much gamb-
ling that it had to be stopped.

The tracks in India are oval in shape, varying in distance
up to two miles, though a mile and a half is ihe favorite cir-
cuit, they are all turf or at least are supposed to be. They
have to be littered for months to keep moist and green. Oal-
cutta has a beautiful course of nearly two miles, while Simla
has one of the prettiest minature tracks in the world, situated
in a valley, one might almost say a pit, 1500 feet below the
city. It is only a third of a mile round and on that account,
upsets all form, as in wet weather it necessarily from its lo-
cation, is a perfect mud hole.

The class of horses used varies a good deal, around Cal-
cutta and the big meetings. Australian and English are the
favorites, while the best of the country breeds come to try
their luck with them. Several attempts are being made to
raise good horses, and General Parrott's stud at Kurnal (near
Umballa) at one time swept the deck with the produce of
native mares crossed with Australian and English sires.

The General, who is a retired officer, sold out his stud last
year. The Rajah, uf Jodhpore has a tremendons stable of
over a thousand horses of the best breeds that can be ob-
tained, Australian, English and stud bred (Governments
imports and stands horses free of charge), and the best of the
native or country bred ponies. The Rajah's track is very
sandy and is consequently, five or six seconds slower than
the ordinary tracks. He never uses any bedding for his
horses except silver sand. Lord William Beresford has for
the last few years imported a good many English horses and
though he has been very successful the general opinion is,
that the Australian is better adapted to the country. The
boys who ride are nearly all Australians, occasionally a
native boy or two gets to ride fairly, but the amateurs at
times ride better than the professionals, though possibly they
are just as unsafe to back.

Fifty rupees for a losing and 150 for a winning mount is
the regular price. A rupee is equal to about 34 cents. The
racing season is from November to the end of April.

The crack race of the year is the Civil Service Cup at
Lnoknow, when all the crack horses in the country turn out,
and every marriageable and unmarriageable girl is there,
regardless of time and m"ney. The regular meetings are
Lucknow, Herat, Umballa and Dehradum in Northern
India. Dehradum is the Newmarket of that district, on
account of its beautiful situation on a plateau right under
the hills where it is cooler and easier to work horses than
anywhere else. Calcutta of course has its own little precinct.
Its two mile course is said to be unsurpassed, while at
Ballynguing close to Calcutta, they have a good steeplechase
oourse. The best of the racing ponies come down to meet
the Australians (generally called "Whalers), and the Beresford
and military element. Bombay and Poona ara the best
meetings in Western India, as are Bangalore and Madras in
the Southern country.

The planters have a few meetings too at Kurg and Mysore,
while every plain station has its regimental fortnightly where
they race principally ponies, 13.2, carrying a maximum
weight of 1-4-t pounds, with a seven pound allowance for
each half inch. The Hussars, Carbiners, Bengal, Cavalry,
and in fact every mounted regiment, haB its polo and racing
ponies. Lahore is the great horse market for them, the
dealers bringing them in from Thibet, Turkestan, Persia and
all the outside countries to sell there. One hundred and
fifty dollars is nothing for a speedy, good looking pony, that
a few years ago could be bought for half the price. Lucky
Boy who was the crack in Northern India for the last two
years, was bonght for about three hundred rupees out of an
Ekka cart at Umballa by a sub in a marching regiment.
Every one laughed at him when he obtained his pony, but
"he laughs best who laughs last," and the despised scrub
beat the whole crowd right along.

In pony racing a horse does not lose his maiden until he
has won a race of 200 rupees. Mr. Kiplin Bays that race
meetings are held there principally as a means to get people
together and pass the time with races and polo tournaments,
varied with a good cock fight, which is a fashionable pursuit;
but for real sport a hours fight between two stallions is better
than all the rhino, elephant, cock and prize tights in the
world. The rajahs give in their territories free horse fights
every once in a while for the public delectation.

Mr. Kipling tells many good stories of life in India, on© of
his best being a brochure which appeared in a volume enti-
tled "Plain Talks From the Hills," published in Calcutta last
year. It is so good we copy it entire:

THE BSOK EN-LINK HANDICAP.

There are more ways of running a horse to suit your book
than polling his head off in the straight. Some men forget
this. Understand clearly that all racing is rotten— as every-
thing connected with losing money must be. Out here, in
addition to its inherent rottenness, it has the maiit of being
.wo-thirds sham, looking pretty on paper only. Every one
knows every one ehe far too well. How on earth can you
rack, and harry, and post a man for his losings, when you
are fond of his wife, and live in the same Station with him?

| He says, "on the Monday following": — "I can't settle just

yet." You say: — "All right old man;" and think yourself

i lucky if you pull off nine hundred out of a two-thousand-

I rupee debt. Any way you look at it, Indian racing is im-

j moral, and expensively immoral. Which is much worBe. If

! a man wants your money, he ought to ask for it, or send

round a subscription list, instead of juggling about the

country, with an Australian larrikin; a "brumby," with as

much breed as the boy; a brace of chumars in gold-laced

caps; three or four e££a-ponies with hogged manes, and a

switch-tailed demirep of a mare called "Arab" because she

has a kink in her flag. Racing leads to the shroff quicker

than anything else. But, if you have no conscience and no

sentiments, and good handB, and some knowledge of pace,

and ten years' experience of horses, and several thousand

rupees a month, I believe that you can occasionally contrive

to pay your shoeing-bills.

Did you ever know "Shacklee" — b. w. g., 15. If — coarse,
loose, mule-like ears— barrel as long as a gatepost — toagh as
a telegraph-wire — and the queerest brute that ever looked
through a bridle? He waB of no brand, being one of an ear-
nicked mob taken into the Becephalutt at £4-10s. a head to
make up freight, and Bold raw and out of condition at Cal-
cutta for Ks. 275. People who lost money on him calied him
a "brumby," but if ever any horse had "Harpoon's" shoul-
ders and the "Gin's" temper, "Shackles" was that hoise.
Two miles was his own particular distance. He trained him-
self, ran himself, and rode himself; and if his jockey insulted
him by giving him hints, he shut up at once and bucked the
boy off. He objected to dictation. Two or three of his
owners did not understand this, and lost money in conse-
quence. At last he was bought by a man who discovered
that, if a race was to be won, "Shackles," and "Shackles"
only, would win it in his own way, so long as his jockey Bat
still- This man had a riding-boy called Brunt— a lad from
Perth, West Australia — and he taught Brant, with a trainer's
whip, the hardest thing a jock can learn — to sit still, to sic
still and to keep on sitting still. When Brunt fairly grasped
this truth, "Shackles" devastated the country. No weight
could stop him at his own distance; and the fame of "Shack-
les" spread from Ajmir in the South to Chedputter in the
North. There was no horse like "Shackles," so long as he
was allowed to do his work his own way. Bat he was beaten
in the end; and the story of his fall 1b enough to make angels
weep.

At the lower end of the Chedputter race-course, just before
the turn into the straight, the track passes close to a couple
of old brick-mounds that enclose a funnel-shaped hollow.
The big end of the funnel is not six feet from the railings on
the off-side. The astounding peculiarity of the course is that,
if you stand at one particular place, about half a mile away,
inside the course, and speak at ordinary pitch, your voice
just hits the funnel of the brick-mounds and makes a most
carious whining echo there. A man discovered this by acci-
dent while out training one numing with a friend. He
marked the place to stand and speak from with a couple of
bricks, and he kept his knowledge to himself. Every pecu-
liarity of a course is worth remembering in a country where
rats play the mischief with the elephant-litter, and Stewards
build jumps to suit their own stables. This man ran a very
fairish countrybred. A long, racking high mare with the
temper of a fiend, and the paces of an airy wandering Beraph
— a drifty, glidy stretch. The mare was, as a delicate tribute
to Mrs. Reiver, called "The Lad> Regula Baddun" — or for
short, "Regain Baddun."

"Shackles' " jockey, Brunt, was a quiet well-behaved boy,
but his nerve had been shaken. He began his career by
riding jump-races in Melbourne, where a few Stewards waDt
lynching, and was one of the jockeys who came through the
awful butchery — perhaps you will recollect it — of the Mari-
byrnong Plate. The walls were colonial ramparts — logs of
jarrah spiked into masonry — with wings as strong as church
buttresses. Once in his stride, a horse had to jump or fall.
He couldn't run out. In the Maribyrnong Plate, twelve
horses were jammed at the second wall. "Red Hat," lead-
ing, fell this side, and threw out the "The GIed,"and the
ruck came up behind, and the space between wing and wing
was one struggling, screaming, kicking shambles. Four
jockeys were taken out dead; three were very badly hurt,
and Brunt was among the three. He told tho story of the
Maribyrnong Plate sometimes; and when he described how
Whalley, and the dust hid a small Hell of men and horses,
no one wondered that Brunt had dropped jump-races and
Australia together. "Regula Baddun's" knew that story by
heart. Brunt never varied it in the telling. He had no
education.

"Shackles" came to the Chedputter autumn races one
year, and his owner walked about inBulting the sportsmen of
Chedputter generally, till they went to the Honary Secretary
in a body and said: "Appoint handicappers, and arrange a
race which shall break "Shackles" and humble the pride of
his owner." The Districts rose against "Shackles" and sent
up their best — "Ousel," who was supposed to be able to do
his mile in 1:53; "Petard," the stud-bred trained by a cavalry
regiment, who knew how to train; "Gringalet," the ewe-
lamb of the 75lh; "Bobolink," the pride of Peshawar, and
many others.

They called that race The Broken-Link Handicap, because
it was to smash "Shackles;" and the handicappers piled on
the weights, and the Fund gave eight hundred rupees, and
the distance was "round the course for all horses." "Shack-
les' " owner said: "Von can arrange the race with regard to
"ShackleB" onlv. So long as yon don't bury him under
weight- cloths, I don't mind." "Regula Baddun's" owner
said: "I throw in my mare to fret "Ousel." Six furlongs
is "Regula's" distance, and she will then lie down and die.
So also will '"Ousel," for Mb jockey doesn't understand a
waiting race." Now, this was a lie, for "Regula" had been
in work for two months at Dehra, and her cbanoes were
good, always supposing that "Shackles" broke a blood-vessel
— or Brunt moved on him.

The plunging in the lotteries was fine. They filled eight,
thousand-rnpee lotteries on th« Broken-link Handicap, and
the account in the Pioneer said that "favoritism was divided."
In plain English, the various contingents were wild on their
respective horses; for the handicappers had done their work
well. The honorary Secretary shouted himself .hoarse through
the din; and the smoke of the cheroots was like the smoke,
and the rattling of the dice-boxes like the rattle of small arm-
fire.

Ten horses started — very level — and "Regula Baddun's"
owner cantered out on his hack to a place inside the circle of
the course, where two bricks had been thrown. He faced
towards the brick-mounds at the lower end of the course and
waited.

The story of the running is in the Pioneer. At the end of
the first mile, "Shackles" crept out of the rack, well on the
outside, ready to get round the turn, lay hold of the bit and
spin up the straight before the others knew he had got away.
Brant was sitting still, perfectly happy, listening to the
"drum, drum, drum" of the hoofs" behind, and knowin that,

in about twenty strides, "Shackles" would draw one deep
breath and go up the last half-mile like the Flying Dutchman.
As "Shackles" went short to take the turn, and came abreast
of the brick-mound, Brunt heard, above the noiBe of the
wind in his ears, a whining, wailing voice on the off-side say-
ing, "God ha' mercy. "I'm done for!" In one stride Brunt
Baw the whole howling, seething Bmash' of the Maribyrnong
Plate before him, started in his saddle, and gave a yell of
terror. The start brought the heels into "Shackles' " side, and
the scream hart "Shackles' " feelingF. He couldn't stop dead;
but he put on his feet and slid aloDg for fifty yards, and then
very judicially bucked off Brunt — a shaken, terror-stricken
lump, while Regula Baddun made a neck-aud-neck race with
Bobolink up the straight, ana wou by a Bbort head — Petard
a bad third. Shackles' owner, in the stand, tried to think
that his field-glasses had gone wrong. Regula Baddun's
owner, standing by the two bricks, gave ono deep sigh of
relief, and cantered back to the stand. He had won, in lot-
teries and bets, about fifteen thousand.

It was a Broken-link Handicap with a vengeance. It broke
nearly all the men concerned, and nearly broke the heart of
Shackles' owner. He went down to interview Brunt. The
boy lay, livid and gaBping with fright, where he bad tumbled
off. The sin of losing ihe race never seemed to strike him.
All he knew was that Whalley had "called" him, and the
"call" was a warning; and, if he were cut in two for it, he
would never get up again. His nerve had gone altogether,
and he only asked bis master to give him a good thrashing,
and let him go. He was fit for nothing, he said. He got his
dismissal, and crept up to the paddock, white as chslk, with
blue lips, his knees giving way under him. People said
nasty things in the paddock, but Brunt never heeded. He
changed into tweeds, took bis stick and went down the road,
still shaking with fright, and muttering over and over again;
"God ha' mercy, I'm done for!" To the best of my knowl-
edge and belief he spoke the truth.

So now you know how the Broken-link Handicap wbb run
and won. Of oourse you don't believe it. Ton would credit
anything about Russia's design or India, or the recommenda-
tions of the Currency Commission; but a little bit of sober
fact is more than you can stand!

Proctor Knott and Spokane.

A VOICE FROM NASHVILLE.

Thousands of people in this and neighboring cities who
saw Proctor Knott's head pulled off for the Two Thousand
at West Side Park, Jane 2d, were completely dumbfounded
at his defeat by Spokane for the Louisville Derby and the
Clark Stakes. In the Derby Knott acquitted himself with
much credit, though he lost the race, and bis admirers looked
for him to redeem himself in the Clark Stakes, especially as
the distance was a quarter of a mile less. But they were
thunderstruck when the Montana horse again ran away with
the prize. They cannot account for it, theorize as they may.
In the Derby Knott should have won but for the swerve in
the Btretch and "Pike" Barnes' inability to hold him. In the
Clark Stake he couldn't have won had he been ridden bv
Garrison himself.

That Proctor Knott is one of the greatest horses seen on the
American turf in many years is beyonri question, and 'though
he is, for the time being, a fallen hero, yet I am not without
faith that he may show the best of them the road before the
leaves begin to turn in the autumn. Proctor Knott is a big,
stout-looking horse, but he is not made of iron, and observ-
ing trainers at Louisville were not surprised at his defeat in
the Derby, and expected him to be beaten in the Clark.

A few dayB before the Derby wbb run, Bryant worked
Knott a mile and a half in fast time, the first mile in 1:43.
This was a corker for a big, heavy-headed horse like Knott
so near to a race. Men on the track who saw that work
shook their head dubiously, and when the day for the actual
race came, put their money on the field. Ou Sunday morn-
ing before the race for the Clark Stake, Bryant sent the big
gelding through the stretch at Louisville at a killing pace.
"When the time for actual racing came Proctor was off his
feed and couldn't run a little bit.

Proctor Knott has been overtrained. He has been worked
and physicked so much that he is bodily ill and "track
sick." Bryant haB hammered him around and put boys on
his back that have see-sawed him until the great gelding has
lost his courage and won't try when the time to try comes.
In the hands of careful men like B. J. Johnson, Johnny
Campbell or Major Buck Elliott, Proctor Knott would be
simply invincible. Either of the three men would handle
him with the greatest of care, and would train him upon
entirely idifferent lines from Bryant. Properly trained and
ridden by a man like Isaac Murphy or "Snapper" Garrison,
who could "place" him in a race, and nurse him for the
struggle in the stretch, it woald take a mighty great race-
horse to beat him. Doubt is expressed by many good train-
ers, however, as to the ability of ahy jockey to "place" him,.
They say he connot be restrained, but this is all "popycock. '
It's dollars to dimes that "Snapper" Garrison, Isaac Murphy,
Jimmy McLaughlin or Wm. Hayward could "place" him and
win with him over the best three-year-olds in the country.

In the Clark Stake the track was slightly heavy, just the
kind of going which Proctor Knott never did like. Bryant's
instructions to Ritchie and Finnegan were to restrain Knott
and Come-to-Taw until the first six furlongs had been
covered. Then the pair were to begin their race, and were
told to come wide on the stretch, so as to strike the good
going next the fence. Ritchie held his mount for the first
three furlongs, Spokane being the pacemaker, but rounding
the first turn from the staud Ritchie let Knott get away from
him and cut out the running. Once in front he led all the
way into the stretch, hogging the rail all the time. When
Spokane collared him it was all over — the pacemaker quit
and quit, like nine horses oat of every ten will when they
have run themselves out.

I do not wish to detract from the merits of Spokanp. He
is a great colt in every respect, and will be hard to beat at
any distance, but he was in better condition for a race than
his adversary. Rodegap had handled him with more care
and had been preparing him slowly. He was thoroughly
seasoned. Knott, on the other hand, had been rushed in his
preparation, his surplus flesh had been taken tff by physic,
and he was brought to Nashville on edge. Tbe horrible way
in which he was pulled and haaled in the Two Thousand
and the stiff work at LoniBville was too much for a colt
already weakened by bad handling, and he went to pieces
when the cruoial test came.

Spokane comes from speed-producing families, inheriting
through his sire the invaluable blood of LeamiDgton and
Lexington. Through the sire of his second dam, Lightning,
he gets a second strain of the famous Lexington blood, while
from his third dam he obtains the blood of the sturdy Glen-
coe. Spokane was bred at Carlinville, 111., but was foaled in
Montana.

There have been several suits for wages among the horse-
men at Sacramento this week. We have not heard how they
terminated.

Albert Cooper, who started East last Monday from Sacra-
mento, has received a commission to purchase a horse which
in his opinion may be liable to win the first money in the
big Fresno purse. He is not restricted as to price, and Albert
says he will bring back a winner sure.

The liberal pnrses offered by the Eureka Jockey Club has
determined a large number of horsemen to attend the July
meeting.

Badge is fast assuming the position of favorite for the
Suburban. The WeBtorn backers have put a great deal of
money on him to win.

L. J. Hose of Los Angeles, is reported to have sold five
colts a short while ago for $14,000. Four of them go to
Madrid, the other four to Philadelphia.

Mr. Fred Loeber, of St. Helena, a well known horseman,
has been very ill for the past three weeks, but is once more
able to be out and attend to business.

Matthew Woodland, of Patterson, N. J., who has imported
a number of highly-bred English race horses, has just re-
ceived one from England named Earl Clifden II. He is a
handsome bay horse, 16 hands high, and is by the celebrated
Blair Atbol, out of Curiosity, by Lord Clitden, dam Doorah,
by the great Hermit. The horse has never raced, but will be
valuable for stud purposes.

The Holhster Free Lnnce says that during the few months
that the Hollister Horse Market has been held under the
auspiceB of the Board of Trade, horses valued at over $22,000
have been Bold through the direct medium of the market,
the buyers being almost entirely from outside the countrv.

The Labold Bros have been offered $10,000 for the well
known crack Monlrose, and refused it. They calculate he is
worth a great deal more money.

J. W. McClelland, who formerly worked for E. J. Baldwin,
has been engaged as trainer for the McClellan & Boohe stable.
He has Badge in the string.

Senator Hearst returned from Washington via. Mexico,
daring the early portion of the week. He will shortly return
East to look after the interests of his stable. •

Speaking of the St. Louis races, the Republic BayB that
some of the Southern bookmakers can give St. Louis pencil-
lers cardfl and spades an a "cinch" book and then beat them.

The Baldwin stable has been very successful since it
started for the East, but then, orders must be obeyed. Los
Angeles should never have been started againBt Terra Cotta,
and the stable knew it.

What with St. Blaise, Sir Modred and Prince Charlie as

are no hereditary titles in the United States among bipeds,
there seems to be plenty among quadrupeds.

Judge Murray, that very promising colt, is badly amiss,
baa been thrown out of training entirely, and will certainly
not start in the Suburban Handicap, for which he had been
heavily backed. An abscess in the throat is the trouble.

The Directors of the Chico Fair Association advertise to
receive bids for the pool selling privilege at their enBueing
meeting. The city of roses has always patronized the pool
sellers, and it behooves them now to bid liberally for the
right to sell there this fall.

Messrs. Kohrs & Bleienberg, ot Deer Lodge, Mont., have
bought of James T. Wisdom, Baker City, Or., the bay mare
Ordinance, foaled in 1878, by War Dance, dam Bonnie Kate
by Imported Knight of St. George, and have bred her to Re-
gent. Price, private.

K. B. Cockrill, on "Wednesday, the 5th inst., took his race
mare Daisy D. and her half brother Capt. Al, a speedy look-
ing two-year-old colt by Kingston, a son of imp. HerculeB,
dam Black Maria, to Santa Kosa, where he will prepare them
for the fall campaign.

All nominators to the Vallejo Colt Stakes are requested to
rsmember thBt the several payments are due Monday, June
k 10th. The entries already made ensure a large field of starters
" and without doubt the Vallejo Colt Stakes will be as success-

Col Clarke, of the St. Louis Sporting News, is inclined to
discredit the statement that J. B. Haggin has a ranch in
Kern County of over 400.000 acres, in addition to one of
nearly 45.000 in the Sacramento Valley. Of Tom Gallagher,
who makes the above statement in the Chicago Tribune. Col
Clarke says: If it were not that we know Tom as a conserva-
tive fellow we would pronounce this tale of Haggin's farm a
fairy tale.

Most jockeys die poor, although a majority of them earn
large sums of money. The late Fred Archer, however, was
a notable exception in England, and of our own "knights of
the pigskin" Hayward, Garrison, McLanghlin and Donahue
are nicely provided for. But look back at the boys who are
dead and gone— Bobby Swim, Dan Sparling, Johnny Spell-
man, Kilpatrick and hosts of others who made money by the
hatful, but who died in absolute poverty.

Cutler and Whitney have had their hands full this week
attending to commissions on the Suburban and American
Derby. Several large amounts have been placed on Don
Jose to win at Chicago, while Sorrento has also had some
support, both EaBt and Wept. Anrelia is picking up in
favor as a candidate for the Suburban, on account of her
late running. Badge and Prince Koyal are still thought to
have the best chance.

Phil Dwyer, Jr., son of President Dwyer, of the Brooklyn
Jockey Club, who made his first mount at Gravesend, riding
Bella B. of the Brooklyn Stable, was only beaten for first
place by a head. Bella B. is a filly with considerable tem-
per, and Phil Jr. 's riding waB much applauded as he passed
under the wire. Young Dwyer is said to have modelled bis
style of riding much after that of McLaughlin, who was con-
nected with the Dwyers for so many years.

A post-mortem examination as to the cause of the death of
Robert the Devil, in England, recently, revealed a ronnd
stone fifteen inches in circumference and six pounds in
weight in the colon. This stone had a day or two previously
ruptured the intestine and thus caused the animal's death.

Diok Havey crossed the Bay last Sunday with Bonanza,
Haverley, Fleet and a yearling. The latter, by Sydnev, dam
by Crown Point, is a grand looking brown colt, already the
pet of the track, being good enough to trot away from several
of the older horses, and does his work in a steady, business-
like manner.

Orrin Hickok has fonrteen horses now at work on the Bay
District Track. Stamboul is only jogging at present, but
Adonis is being sent right along. LaBt week Mr. Spreekles
sent five to join Hickok's string, and next week several others
will reinforce the stable.

The down-town pool-rooms were closed at St. Lonis last Sat-
urday from 1 to 6 o'clock p. m .,aud they will not be open on any
afternoon during the race meeting at the fair ground's track.
This arrangement was brought about, it is said, by an under-
standing between Mr. Charles Green, President of the Jockey
Club, and the proprietors of the rooms, most of whom are
members of the Western Bookmakers' Association. The
pool privileges at the track this year were sold to that organi-
zation, and all of the St. Lonis bookmakers did business at
the track Saturday.

Archie Stevenson, the owner of Susie S., who was killed
at Ihe Sacramento Race Track a few months ago, came down
from the Capital city on Wednesday to see if he could arrange
a compromise with Senator Hearst, instead of entering snit
for the loss of the mare. It will be remembered that Bhe had
her back broken by being run into on the track by one of
Senator Hearst's Australian colts, and at the same time
Jockey Cooper was severely injured. Dp to the time of
going to press we had not heard what result was arrived at.

Mr. P. F. Malloy, secretary of the Utah Driving Park As-
sociation, writes to say that their annual meeting will prob-
ably be held about the 20th of July, thus giving the
California contingent a chance to stop off at Salt Lake and
try to earn expenses prior to continuing the journey to Mon-
tana. There will be in the neighborhood of $8000 offered in
purses for trotters, pacers and runners. An advertisement
of the meeting will probably appear soon, so that those con-
templating stopping off at the Mormon City will understand
the terms and conditions of the programme.

The great sale of yearlings from the Kennesaw and Peyto-
nia breeding farms, and also a choice selection sent in for
sale by MeBsrs. Franklin, Shafer, WheeleBS, Carter and
Malone, is attracting a good deal of attention. Thev are all
finely bred, and there is a strong probability that purchasers
will pick up many a rare good one. The sale takes place at
Washington Park, Chicago, June 21st, the day before the
American Derby is run, which of itself will insure a full
attendance when P. C. Kidd, the auctioneer, offers the con-
signment to the highest bidder.

One of the most useful and at the same time perfectly
Biniple inventions of the age is the odometer, which registers
with unerring accuracy the distance travelled by any class of
vehicles. Messrs. Hirsoh, Kahn & Co., 333 Kearney Street,
S. F., have been appointed agents on this Cjast for this valu-
able invention which every cicliBt, driver, and, in short,
every one who travels on wheels ought to have. It is per-
fectly reliable on all kinds of roads and in every clasB of
weather. This well known firm also furnishes every descrip-
tion of optical glasses of the very highest class and best
finish.

J. B. Haggin, Esq., returned from his European trip on
Saturday, after staying over a few days in New York watch-
ing the cracks at Giavesend. His yearlings will be shipped
next Saturday morning from the ranch and sent on to New
York. There are quite a number of gentlemen who have
made selections of those they would like to own, and com-
missions to the amount of almost a dozen have already been
sent on to New York The colts will be shipped in" seven
cars, especially prepared for the purpose, the entire consign-
ment being under the guardship of John Mackey. Mr.
Haggin will return East in time to attend the sale.

If the story of a Glasgow correspondent can be believed,
it pays sometimes to be illiterate, but it really looks too far
fetched. He Bays that a fellow townsman on'the eve of the
Great Metropolitan Stakes, Bent a note to a bookmaker of
his acquaintance, asking him to lay starting price odds
against Fallow Chat, and that the bookmaker read the
horse's name as "Tissaphernes, " and paid on it ! ! ! There
is no similarity in the names, and in fact it will hardly stand.
I lost some few ponudB through not writing Lonely plainly
once when she was running at Ascot, as it turned out that
Lovely was out the same day and was beaten, while Lonely
won, but not for me.

A short time prior to the last meeting of the Blood Horse
Association, I pnrohased a pair of field glasses from Hirsch.
Kahn & Co., 333 Kearney street, which are the very best I
ever looked through. The firm informs me that they have
secured a fine line of the same make, which will be offered
extremely low for a few weeks. I can recommend intending
purchasers to call and Bee these snperb glasses before buying
elsewhere.

The Sacramento race track habitues have at last brought
off a match. For months they have been match making, but
none materialized until last week, when Lanra Gardner and
Welcome were pulled out for a bet of S2.500; distance, one
mile. Cook, on Welcome, led by one length all the way, the
first half being run in 57J seconds and the last in 51, hardly
good enough form for either of them; the time was given out
as 1:46 J, but 1:4SJib correct. The race was semi-private,
and might as well have been wholly so, for no one had an
inkling of it until the starter, judge, stake-holder, clerk of
scaleB, etc., turned up; one personage tilled every official
position, being a man of many parts, in fact, like Pooh Bah
in The Mikado — Lord High everything. How was the pot
divided ? The backer of Laura certainly got left.

Jockey Turner died last week at West Side Park, Chicago,
from concussion of the brain. Enoch was superstitions.
He always said he would die in the saddle, but" not alone,
and his prediction came true. Saratoga, his mount, broke a
leg and was killed on the track. Enoch was upward of 45
years old. He was a good jock, and liked by all who knew
him. He leaves a wife and two children in very comfortable
circumstances. His home was in Southern Illinois.

Big Jim is rapidly getting into form for his trial for a
record. On Tuesday last he worked a mile in.2:30, the last
half in 1:13. It is astonishing how well the big horse goes,
for his legs are not the best in the world, and his respiratory
organs might be better.

Hazlitt has gone up to Eureka with his stable, and intends
to stay there until after the meeting. Laura Gardner,
Black Pilot, Jack Brady, Asa, a 3-year-old mare by Long-
field, dam Assyria, Emma Nevada, 2-year-old filly, Pawn-
broker, 2-year-old colt, and a recent addition to the stable a
5-year-old gelding by Norfolk, out of a Magenta mare.

A new horse disease has made its appearance in New York
State and is baffling the veterinary surgeons. The horses
are attacked with a cough, have a high fever, and in some
instances go blind; their limbs get stiff and they sweat pro-
fusely, refuse food and their eyes grow dull aud heavy. The
disease is said to be contagious.

At the time of the January closing of the Coney Island
Stakes it was announced that three purse races a dav would
be given, with $600, $750 and $1,000 added, respectively.

i The action of th° Brooklyn Jockey Club in giving no puree
of less-than $1,000 has compelled the club to change this

; programme, however, and the purBes and over-night handi.

, oaps have either $1,000 or $1,250 added in each case.

On July 4th there will be a number of races given at
Madera, Fresno Co. The opening event is said to be a half
mile dash, free for all, with $200 added monev. Then
comes a 600 yard heat race, free for all. with $150 added.
Then comes a half mile dash for saddle horses that have
never won a race, to this the club adds $50. A 600 yard raoe
will also be given for saddle hcrses that have won races, to
this $75 will be added. Entrance ten per cent., entries close
June 30th with R. V. Croskey, Secretary.

Mr. L. H. Titus has been at Latonia keeping his eye on
Mr. Baldwin's interests. When a telegram was received
from the Btable last Saturday to play Mollie's Last for a place
in the h' ret race at St. Louis, how the money did rush in-
everybody wanted a bit. By the way, speaking of telegrams,'
a friend of mine received a rather funny message from St.
Louis anent the Derby, it read: "Pie, get a big slice, Long-
fish." The dispatch resulted in many of our local betters
eating chicken and white sop, Saturday evening.

Detroit, Michigan, is contemplating a novelty at her meet-
ing this year. President Campau, of the Detroit Driving
Club, introduced a motion at a meeting of the directors that
was adopted. It was the throwing open of the grounds on
the first day of the races, inviting everybody to come in fr
of charge. This is done, says Mr. Campan, to give t
masses an idea of what the sport is. This was the pi »o
inaugurated by Col. W. S. King, at Minneapolis, Minn., some
years ago, and worked well.

Last Thursday Mr. Winters got back a little of his money .
invested in racing stock, and is partially recouped for the loss
of the Czar. Don Jose won the Chicago Horseman's Grand
Challenge Foal Stakes, worth about $4,500 net to the winDer,
and did it so readily as to show that his chance for the Derby
is as good as any.

very frequent. Your secretary believes that the present sys-
tem adopted by a majority of the clobB, in agreeing to regis-
ter all dogs sent to their shows, at their own expense, is
wrong, and should be prohibited. It was intended by the
role that exhibitors should pay their own registration fees,
and if such was done, errors could be traced and rectified
more readily; and the correct number of registrations would
be more liable to reach their proper destination, than is now
the case. Failure to register should carry a penalty against
the exhibitor, but under existing circumstances it is difficult
to determine where the blame lies, with the show committee,
or with the exhibitor. .

Your Secretary begs to call your attention to unofficial
oharges,again8t three members of the A. K. C , that have
failed to pay in full the money prizes won at their late Bhows.
This is a matter that needs thoroughinvestigatioD. In order
to fully carry out the provisions of Rule No. 28, and for the
better protection of exhibitors, such chargos Bhould be made
in writing to this office, and then your officers would be in a
position to properly enforce said rule. In conclusion, your
Secretary would reoommeod, that the bench show managers
in arranging for judges to officiate at their showB, should
request Baid judgeB to furnish a written report for publication
in the Kennel Gazette, and to make such report a part of the
duty of eaoh judge. Respectfully submitted,

Dr. Davenport's Kute.

Dr. A. C. Davenport of StocKton, is going into cooker
spaniels with the thoroughness which characterizes all of
hiB operations. He recently sent his stud dog Kute to M.
D. Walter at Gait to be trained, and has since received from
Mr. Walter the following letter:

"Your dog Kute is getting on finely. Retrieves a ball
splendidly, and is going to be a No. 1 retriever. Has got all
over his sutbboruness. Am Borry that we did not send him
over to the San Francisco show. He mighthave taken first on
the benob, for I did not see one that I thought was as good
as him. Don't dock your puppies tails, it spoils them for
show purposes, and spoils their tail action in field work.
Mr! Filebrock's poppy is docked, and it spoils his looks.
He is getting along very nice, but don't compare in looks to
Kute. If I have time am going to teach Kate some tricks,
tie would make a fine trick dog."

secretary's report.

May 23, 1889.
Gentlemen:— Since the last meeting of this club, February
21, 1389, the following clubs have applied for admission as
active members:

April 29th, the Pointer Club of America, New York.
April 30th, the German Mastiff, or Great Dane Club, Chi-
cago, 111.

May 2, the Southern California Kennel Club, Los Angeles,
Cal.

May 3, the Long Island LivG Stock Ass'n., Huntington, L. I.

The above applications, except the Southern California

Kennel Club, being in regular aDd proper form under the

rules of thiB clnb, they are eligible to membership, and will

be submitted to you for action at this meeting.

By direotion of the Advisory Committee, your Secretary
drew on Mr. T. D. Wilkins, Treasurer of the Syracuse Ken-
nel Club, for $33, this being the amount doe the A. K. C.
for registration fees, at its late show in September last, and
begs to report that his draft was duly paid.

By direction of the Advisory Committee, your secretary
under date of April 6,'S9, notified Mr. Alba M. Ide, Secretary
of the Rensselaer Kennel Club, of Troy. N. Y., that unless
the remainder of its registration fees were paid, on or before
the date of this meeting, that the committee would ask this
club to take action in the matter. A previous letter, dated
March 7, 1889, notified Mr. Ide that twenty-seven entries
were due the A. K. C, but up to the present time, the
Secretary of the Rensselaer Ken uel Club, has not seen fit to
reply to either of these communications.

In this connection your Secretary would respectfully re-
quest that some action may be taken by this club for the
better protection of itself in the proper enforcement to Rule
2. The experience of the past show season bus been, tbat
names already registered have been doplicated; that on sev-
eral occasions dogs of the saiue name have been shown in
the same class, at the same show; tbat, sb in most casen the
registry forms are made out by the bench show committees,

Adopted and placed on tile.

Mr. Vredenburgh, supplementing the above report, stated
that no bills for advertising had been sent out yet, and tbat
about $1,300 was due the club. Also no indebtedness and
the rent paid up to August.

The report of the Advisory Committee was read and ap-
proved.

The report of the Special Committee which was appointed
to investigate the charges made by the Michigan Kenuel Club
against the St. Paul and Minnesota Club was presented, and
is as follows:

IN THE MATTER OF THE CHARGES OF THE MICHIGAN KENNEL
CLUB AGAINST THE ST. PAUL AND MINNESOTA KENNEL
CLUB. REPORT OF COMMUTE OF INVESTIGATION.

To August Belmont, Jr.,
President American Kennel Club.

As the committee, appointed at the last meeting of the A.
K. C. to investigate the charges of the Michigan Kennel Club
against the St. Paul and Minnesota Kennel Club, we herewith
submit the following report:

1st. The charge made by the Michigan Kennel Club, that
the St. Paul and Minnesota Kennel Club violated A. K. C.
rules by employing one, Charles Weil as Superintendent of
their show, held October. 1888, after having been notified by
the Michigan Kennel Club of his expulsion from said clnb,
does not appear to be substantiated by the roles and evidence.
Your committee have failed to discover any A. K. C. rule
which prohibits any club from employing any person who
haB been expelled by any club a member of the A. K. C, the
clubs alone being the sole judge in such ceses. Such being
the case, your committee claim that the charge has not been
sustained.

2d. The statement made by the President of the Michigan
Kennel Club, in a letter to the President of the St. Paul and
Minnesota Kennel Clnb, that the action of the Michigan
Kennel Club in expelling Charles Weil, had been sustained
by the American Kennel Club, does not appear to be correct,
as your committee fail to discover any proof of such action
by the American Kennel Club. We would call your atten-
tion to Secretary Vrendenburgh's letter which is attached,
bearing upon the subject, informing the committee that no
action was taken in the matter by the A. K. C. on account of
its being an expulsion, and not a disqualification.

3d. The charge that the St. Paul and Minnesota Club vio-
lated Rule 2 of the A. K. C. we tind in a measure to be true.
The rules were correctly published in their prize list and
catalogue, but were not strictly enforced, as in our opinion
the A. K. C. intend that they should be. To illustrate, in
the catalogue of their show, various entries appear which
shows tbat they were registered in the A. K. R. but not the
A. K. C. S. B. TMb in itBelf is a plain violation of A K. C.
rules, and your committee would recommend the same action
be taken by the A. K. C. against the St. Paul and Minnesota
Kennel Club for not complying with the rules under which
their Bhow was held, as we think it the duty of the A. K. C.
to insist that all their rules should be lived up to by ita mem-
bers.

All papers and correspondence is herewith attached, and
the findings of the committee is respectfully submitted.

Thos. B. Lee.

C. M. MUNHALL.

On motion of Major Taylor the matter was referred to the
Advisory Committee.

The following clubs were admitted as active members of
the A. K. C: The Pointer Club of America, New York; The
German Mastiff or Great Dane Club of America, Chicago;
The Long Island Live Stook Association, Huntington, L. I.

The Secretary stated that he had received the application
of the Sonthern California Kenuel Club for memberahip,
which was irregular in form, in that it was not accompanied
by dues, constitution or list of officers; that he wrote the
club that its application would be accepted if the dues and
constitution arrived before the date of thiB meeting. On the
receipt of his letter, on May 15th, they wired him to make
application, constitution and dues to follow by mail; that
they were going to hold their inaugural show next month,
and the recognition of the A. K. C. would be very desirable.

On motion of Major Taylor the Secretary was instructed to
notify the Southern California Kennel Club tbat no action
coold be taken on their application on account of the non-
arrival of the dues and constitution, bot if presented in
proper form it waB the sense of thiB meeting that in doe
time the awards of their coming show will be recognized.

A communication was reported from the Cauadian Kenuel
Club, stating in substance that they had been instructed to
ask recoguition of the wins at the show at London, Ontario,
in 1888 by the American Kennel Club, adding that although
they were not members of the A. K. C. at that time, &teps
were being taken to that end.

On motion of Mr. Anthony their request was granted.

The Secretary reported a communication from Mr. T. O.
Hall, bookkeeper for Potts & Potts, Atlanta, Ga., denying
the statement that he was treasurer of the National Pet Stook
aDd Poultry Association, he did not attend the meeting or
the shown, and requested that the .disqualification imposed
upon him should be removed,

On motion matter referred to AdviBory Board.
A communication was read from J. E. Isgrigg alleging as
false an advertisement published in the American Field by
P. T. Madison, and asking that the matter be laid before the
Advisory Board.

On motion, referred to Stud Book Committee.
To the Stud Book Committee was also referred the matter
of the protest by T. Shelley Hudson as to the breeding of the
English setter bitoh M'lissC, and referred to the A. K. C,
by the Mascoutah Kennel Club.

A communication was raad from W. E. Hagaus of the
German Mastiff or Great Dane Club, calling attention to the
fact that certain dogs whioh had been eligible to registration
heretofore by A. K. C, were now ineligible owing to certain
revised rules, and asking for a modification of said rules.

On motion of Mr. 4nthooy the Secretary was directed to
notify the German Mastiff or Great Dane Club that the
American Kennel Club coold not change its rules in favor of
any other club.

A letter was also read from James Watson appealing from
the decision of the Roohester Kennel Club in the matter of
his protest against Metchly Surprise being entered in the
challenge class in that show, she having been awarded two
first prizes up to 12 o'clock on the day of the closing of the
entries.

Mr. "Watson stated that the date of closing of entries was
announced as March 6th, but was further extended to March
13th; that although it was alleged the extension had been
advertised he did not see it, and tbe point to be decided was
whether a club was authorized to reopen its entries after tbe
date of closing was. passed. He had made the same protest
at Boston under the same circumstances, and the dog was
disqualified. Motions to refer to the Advisory committee
and to sustain the Rochester Kennel Clnb were lost.

On motion of Mr. Wise the action of the Rochester Kennel
Club was reversed and the protest sustained.

Mr. Anthony presented the matter of his appeal from the
award rendered by the Judge of an equal one-third prize to
Lad of Bow, and also from the award of the heat between
Lad of Bow and Jean Valjean. He stated that after consid-
erable correspondence he received a letter from Mr. Shattuo
informing him that his protest as to Lad of Bow had been
overruled; that Mr. Belmont was appointed a committee by
the tA. K. C. to hear the appeal; that although some corres-
pondence passed between Mr. Shellbass, Secretary pro tern
and Mr. Shattnc, no action was takeD. In October, 1888,
he withdrew the appeal as he did not wish it continued in
his absence; that the withdrawal was duly reported to the
American Kennel Club and that he had noticed Mr. Shattuo
also of the withdrawal, and called his attention to the fact
that as the original award stood, he expected a check (or the
amount the dog won under the decision. No reply was
received and he addressed another letter to Mr. Shattuc,
calliug attention to the fact that the money was still due,
and informing him that if tbe money was not sent to him he
would report th6 fact to the American Kennel Clob, and ask
that Messrs. Shattuc & Paris be disqualified.

Mr. Anthony further stated that the matter had not been
attended to up to this time aDd he therefore asked that action
be taken to disqualify Messrs. Shattuc & Paris.

Mr. Wise — I move that whereas complaint has been made
by J. L. Anthony that the American Field Trial Club has
not paid itB prize of one-third division won by Lad of Bow
at their meeting in 1887, said Shattuc & Paris be allowed 30
days in which to show cause why the prayer of the petitioner
should not be granted, and that the matter be referred to the
Advisory Board with power.
Seconded and carried.

The charges against Lorenzo Daniels made by R. F. May-
hew, agei.t of Wm. Graham, and presented by H.W. Hunting-
ton, associate delegate, in regard to the purchase of the St.
Bernard dog Visp II, were referred to tbe Advisory Board.
A communication was read from Miss Whitney asking the
definition of the term "reoognized veterinary surgeon" as
used in A. K. C. Rules; and calling attention to the disquali-
fication of her dog Monta Rosa by the Worcester Kennel
Club, and her appeal waB presented by Dr. J. Frank Perry,
associate delegate.

On motion, the rules of the A. K. C. not having been com-
plied with by the Worcester Kennel Club, and in view of
tbe examination of the dog at Boston, her appeal was sus-
tained, and the disqualification by the Worcester club was
reversed.

On motion of Mr. Anthony Rule 9 was amended by substi-
tuting the words "duly qualified" for the word "recognized."
After some discussion a "duly qualified" veterinary sur-
geon was defined to be "one who has been properly edocated
in some reputable college or University entitled to confer the
degree of V. S,, aDd has received a diploma from the same,"
or ''one who without ever having held a diploma, has had at
least five years practical experience to tit him for the praotice
of his profession."

Proposed amendment to Rule 12 lost.

Rule 28 was amended by adding after the word "hold" on
the 6th line the words, "the date of closing of entries shall
not be changed or extended beyond the original date as adver-
tised in the premium list. Any club receiviug auy entries
after the original published date of closing shall be expelled. '*
The recommendation of the Advisory Committee referred
to by tbe Secretary, to rescind that portion of Rule 3 which
permits free registration in the A. K. C. S. B. of A. K. R"
registrations prior to 188S. was, on motion, adopted.

On motion, the Secretary was directed to notify by regis-
tered letter the Rensselaer Kennel Club, which club, it was
stated, had neglected to pay its registration fees, and ignored
entirely any communications addressed to them, that if their
fees are not paid within thirty days they will be dropped
from the roll. '

The Secretary called attention to certain letters he had
received in regard to standards of committees of the Ameri-
can Kennel Club, and asking foraction in the matter.
On motion, laid over until nest meeting.
Mr. Winslow called attention to a protest entered by Mr.
Watson against his own dog. He said the dog "Clipper"
was entered at their meeting in Philadelphia, and won a
special prize as the best collie bred in America. Mr. Watson,
who owned the dam, took her to England and had her bred
to "Eclipse," brought her back here, and she whelped in this
country. The question to be decided is whether the progeny
are American or English bred.

The protest was not allowed, and it was decided that a
bitch owned io this country, sent to any foreign country to
be bred and returned to this country to whelp, the progeny
shall be considered aB American bred.

Editor Breeder and Spordsman: — loar show must cer-
tainly have been a snccesB in numbers and enthusiasm even
if it Jell behind financially. I met a San Francisco man who
was at the P. K. C. show, last night, and he says that there
was a great deol of dissatiafation with Graham's judging. It
is just what I expected, for as near as I can learn from the
remarks he, (Mr. Graham), prefers the short thick head in
both pointers and setters. This is just what I expected, for
I have felt satisfied for some time that the English were
drifting that way very fast. I don't know but what they
may be right, for as far as I can learn at this "long range" it
is dogB of that style of head and close compact bodies that
are doing the winning in the field. If this is bo and we are
breeding sporting dogs for Held merit, why not reward that
class of dogs on the bench whi„'h shows the best quality in
the field? I admire the rangy dog myself, built after the
pattern of the greyhound, with the long, square head of the
Irish setter, ears low down and well Bet back falling in a roll
close to the head. To me they are certainly the most beauti-
ful, but if thiB is not the type for field work, bird sense and
powerful nose, then it is right to set them back on the bench.

[Silex has been misinformed. Mr. Graham did not judge
by head alone, as some do who criticize him most loudly.
His judgments will bear study and most men who study
them closely will agree with him fully. He is a close, keen,
wide awake, well posted judge, and has done much good by
his visit. Ken. Ed.]

Just how to introduce a note about poultry when there is
no specific department set aside for it is a worriment, but per-
haps it will fit here as well as anywhere. During the recent
bench show Mr. Geo. W. Bassford had his Patent Brooder
on exhibition, and the opinion of the judge was that "it was
a success, except that its clucking apparatus needed oiling."
When it is stated that the Patent Brooder was simply a pair
of old capons, the judge may fairly be oredited with facetious-

The Gun Club.

The excellence of the fox terrier puppies offered in another
column by Mr. Thos. Slipper, of Eugene, Oregon, is accentu-
ated by the winnings of Golden Gem, of his breeding, at the
recent bench show. Gem was far and away the beBt fox
terrier in the show, and if purohasers can Becure one dog in
ten as good they will be lucky.

Mr. J. C. NattraBS, delightful story teller, champion eccen-
tric poet and thorough Irish red setter man, offers elsewhere
in the paper some handsome Irish setter puppies, by Nat
Glencho (Glencho-Maid), and out of Bed Fanny; also puppies
by Buck-Judith. The dogs are fine in breeding, and fanciers
of the breed wilf do well to keep the advertisement in mind.

Says the Shooting Times (Eng.): "At the French trials M.
Barrevre, fearing a sexual disturbance, produced his Better
bitch in 'a combination garment. This, of course, caused a
great deal of fun amongbt the audience, and the judg s
increased the hilarity by ordering the "suit" to be removed
for their inspection, and then said there was no cause for the
bitch to wear it ! ! !

The London Shooting Times, a very brightly written ken-
nel and shooting newBpaper, in noticing receipt of the Pacific
Coast Field Trial Rules and entry blank, adds: "We wish
yon plenty of entries; your club deserves them." The
kindliness is apDreciated, and an invitation is extended to
readerB of the Shooting Times who may be visiting California
to make themselves known to the Secretary of the Field Trial
Club and Becure Introductions to the club preserves and
shooting, to which they will be very welcome.

The Southern California Kennel Club will give its first
bench show about June 24th, at Los Angeles. The club is a
lively and energetic one and its show will be well managed.
It is a member o£ the American Kennel Club, so that wras
■will count toward championships. There are Beveral dogs
owned about San Francisco, whioh woold be entitled to com-
pete for championship prizes if they shonld win first at Los
Angeles Among them are in mastiffs, Mr. K. Scott's Dick
and Mrs. Preston's Actress; in Great Danes, Mr. Perham W.
Nahl's Cffisar; iu greyhounds, Mr. Carroll's Jenny June; m
nointere Mr. Truman's Patti Croxteth T; in Irish setters,
Mr Truman's Lady Elcho T. and Mike T., in Irish water
spaniels, Mr. T. J. Finder's Nora P.; in beagles, Mr. G. W.

and we hope a large number of dogs will be sent from the
northern and central portions of the State. Those who wish

THE_GOT,

California Wing Shootine Club.

A real San Bruno wind annoyed the ten gentlemen who
■went down for the June meeting of the dob on Sunday last.
The birds were not tirst rate bat when they did take wing,
thev were teasers and took a lot of killing, which, luckily,
the Bhooters were able to administer. But three of the
ten failed to reach double figures, and five scored eleven

eaAU2 biras, Hurllngbam for club trophies; on the shoot off Mr. C.
AUA„, fl!t nr Knowles second, and Mr. Will De Vaull tbird.

For several years past the San Francisco Gud Club has
made it a rule to hold a picnic shoot on Decoration Day, and
this particular shoot is always looked forward to as the event
of the season. This year a beautifal little valley, known as
Laurel Avenne in Boss Valley, was chosen as the scene of
the picnic and pigeon shoot. Four other similar meetings
have been held by the club at the same place.

The pigeons and four shooters left by the 7:30 boat for
Sausalito, and no time was lost in getting the traps down
and commencing the medal shoot, a handicap, under Hur-
linghain rules, at twelve birds.

Jellett laced the traps tirst, and started off well, but he
missed two in succession and wound up with only nine.

Will Golcher was all off in his shooting, and though he
kilted ten, he only stopped one v»ith Mb first barrel.

Butler did splendidly until he came to his last bird, when

he let a nasty rising tailer get away, hit, but not badly hurt.

Orr killed his dozen straight in fine style.

To while away the time until the rest of the shooters came

a §2 50 freeze-out was shot. Butler and Orr divided after

Jellett and Golcher had dropped out on their fifth bird.

Then Jellett and Golcher shot a six-bird match, but each
killing six, agreed to call it a draw. About 11 o'clock the
tardy members, accompanied by a large contingent of ladies,
made their appearance on the grounds, and the medal shoot
was continued.

Will Wattles opened the ball for the late ones and made a
most creditable ten, losiDg two birds, which were really hard
ones to stop. Woodward did not do quite as well as Wattles,
as he only scored seven. Hamilton did even worse, shoot-
ing very poorly, and only placing six to his credit. LeviBon
shot better than he has done for some time and piled up
nine good kills. Swett disgusted himself and surprised his
friends by only killing seven. Chapin shot fairly well but
had poor luck. Stone, a most promising young shot, missed
his first bird and then killed eleven straight, only using his
second barrel three times. Black, a good, reliable shot,
killed ten. Sanborn, a new member of the clnb, dropped
eleven and made some fine Bhots at difficult birds. Bourn
was Bomewhat erratic in his shooting, stopping some good
ones and letting easy ones go. The betting on each shot
was lively with odds on the gun in most cases.

An adjournment was then made for lunch, and all did
justice to the good things provided by the club.

Team aboutiDg was then in order, and visitors from other
clubs and States were invited to participate. The conditions
were; Six birds each man and $2.50, the losing side to pay
for the winner's birds, and also to hand over the pro rata per
man.

Fred Butler and Bill "Wattles were elected captains, and
shot the following teams against each other, Butler'B team
winning by two birds after a most exciting fight:

A Blue Rock tournament was given by the Fortuna Gun
Club at Eureka, Humboldt Co., on May 26th. that wa8
entirely successful. The weather was perfect, and together
with the beautiful green lawn on which the traps were
placed for the occasion made it truly inviting to the sports-
men. Geo. F. Cloud, Esq., attended to all the details per-
taining to the tournameDt, and did bis duty in such a manner
as to win him deserved credit from every sportsman. It was
a matter of regret that the Bportsmen didn't turn out as well
as expected. Eureka presented two entries; Areata and
Kohnerville none; Ferndale turned out well and deserved
much credit for the interest manifested by her representa-
tives. They arrived in Fortuna with a six-in-hand coach
loaded with ardent sportsmen, who proved themselves thor-
oughly expert and very agreeable gentleman. Fortuna in
turn brought forward its home guards — MesBrs. Legg, Parker
and Davis, all of whom proved themselves lovers of the
sport and took an active interest which tended to make the
occasion a success. There waB a large number of spectators
present, among them many ladies, who looked on at the pro-
ceedings with decided interest.

The shooting was good, when it is considered that all of
the participants were novices in the use of the sharp flying
blue rock targets, which were thrown with more than ordin-
ary quickness. The match was the precursor of a series of
similar events which it is hoped will draw together and
cement into a closely knit organization the many rare shots
and thorough sportsmen who live in Humboldt County. The
scores were:

Pacific Sportsmen's Club.

The Pacific Sportsmen's Club held its monthly medal
shoot at the Gerber ranch near Sacramento on Sunday last.
The shooting was very good, as the scores below will show.
J. M. Morrison and George Wittenbrock tied on a full score
of twelve birds each, and in shooting off the tie the latter
won. The birds were an escellent lot, and it required the
best of skill to grass them. A number of sweepstake matches
were also shot. Following are the scores of the medal shoot:

Obsolete Arms.

I have read with much interest the various communica-
tions which have appeared from time to time in the columns
of Shooting and Fishing, says M , on the subject of what
becomes of those arms which have become old and out o.
fashion, and the result has been the bringing to light of some
interesting history. Some years ago, before the advent of
the low-pricud double breech-loading guns, single guns were
more in use by the more mature sportsmen than at present,
and of the number of guns then in use, several have passed
out of existence, and the names and places of manufacture
have been forgotten by all nave some of the veterans.

Among those which were popular a number of years ago
was the Koper four-shot repeating gun, whioh was the pre-
decessor of the present repeating shot-gun. This arm had a
number of important improvements, which placed it far in
advance of the guns of its day. Among the improvements
thus introduced was the adjustable choke, which consisted of
a ring which was screwed on the muzzle of the barrel, and as
the ring was made with a taper, it caused the shot to shoot
closer than the ordinary barrel. This same improvement
was also used on the Ballard siDgle-barrelled shot-guo, which
was made by the Brown Manufacturing Co. of Newburyport.
These two arms have not beea in the market for some seven-
teen or eighteen years.

The Roper gun was a decided departure in the shot-gun
line, and wan made in Amherst, Mass. It was well thought
of, but was not a commercial Buccess, as it had a number of
weak spots in its construction; these could have been
remedied, however, had It met with a cordial welcome
the sporting public, which it did not, for several

Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie.

The performances of Lord Dunravsn's British yacht
Valkyrie, built to contest for the America cup in
American waters with the swift-sailing Yankee yachts,
such as the Volunteer and Puritan, have been so far too
varied and uncertain for the formation of definite idea of
her sailing qualities She has had three or four trials
with the crack British yachts — the Irex, the Yarana,
the Verda, the Amphitrite and the Mohawk, but in
neither of those has her qualitiep been developed suffi-
ciently to place her. With light wind she appears at
les3 advantage than in a good breeze, but with a heavy
wind again she seems at fault. A few days ago, in a
contest against every one of the named yachts, with a
fair breeze she won in handsome manner; but since thpn,
with a fresh strong wind, the Irex aDd Yarana both beat
her with comparative ease. She has not yet used her
centre-board, reserving that probably for American
waters with Yankee contestants. It seems that she is
not adapted for heavy weather and a rough sea. The
New York Yacht Club are apparently confident of the
victory again, and of keeping the cup at home. There
is a prospect, however, that the race will be better con-
tested this year tnan ever before. The British yachts
must oopy closer from American models before they can
reasonably expect to carry over the cup.

Development of the Horse.

The promise is out of a book on the development of
the horse, by Hon. Leland Stanford and Mr. CharleB
Marvin, Superintendent of his famous Palo Alto breed-
ing farm in San Mateo county, soon to be published,
copiously and elaborately illustrated, of about 400 pages.
This book will be sought and prized by breeders of fine
horses throughout the country, as a most valuable con-
tribution to turf literature, and as a vade mecum in
the breeding and training of horses to the highest devel-
opment for every use. Hon. Leland Stanford occupies
the very foremost place in the ranks of great breeders,
and Mr. Marvin holds high position as a superior judge
of horses, and as trainer and manager of stock farms.
He has by years of study, labor and earnest efforts
directed to the mastery of the subject, attained distinc-
tion in the lustrouB galaxy wherp lead aDd shine the
names of Doble, Splan, Hickofe, Golden, Goldsmith, and
others now recognized as best authorities on training and
nerfecting the horse, especially the American trotter,
now the most valuable of all species for the turf, for
pleasure and for general usefulness.

At his great farm of Palo Alto, more than ten years
ago, Governor Stanford wrought the revolution in the
science and knowledge which are now conspicuous in
developing the horse for the turf, by tis invaluable
experiments in clearly bringing out the information o^
the actual movements of the trotter and runner in
utmost motion of speed. The photographer Muybridge,
by his skill and study, enabled maukicd to the knowl-
edge of the exact attitude of the horse at every motion
when at highest speed. As expert beholders of the mar-
vels produced by the infallible battery of the photo-
graphic cameras, declared at the time, seeing was not
believing. The senses were bewildered in the perform-
anee.

The revelations of the instantaneous negatives as they
came from the hands of the artist astonished those pres-
ent at the novel sceDe, and while their higher intelligence
was compelled to accept the demonstration, the precon-
ceived ideas of all past years could not be for the
moment abandoned or overcome. They were confronted
with the wonders of the test in the brief spaee of only
about forty feet, across which the horse trotted to a
sulky at less than a 2:40 gait, and the negative exhibited
the minutiae of the Bpokes, which were invisible to the
eye, and as infallibly marked the precise position of
every portion of the body of the horse at every fraction-
al part of the thousandth of a second seized by the cam-
eras and transferred to the faultless negative. Still they
were oonfounded, and the understanding refused to com-
prehend that which the eye could not grasp. It was
more bewildering in photographing the runner. He
was rode the alloted inconsiderable space at a gate
of 1:40, and at the instant of the finish in the negative
was portrayed the parted girth, with frayed ends—
indubitabln testimony of the absolute fidelity of the
picture. That marvel of the photograph demonstrated
besides a fact which had up to that time been contended
by some turfmen, but which none could establish or
adduce testimony to convince the doubters— that in run-
ning the horse was for a minute fraction entirely from
the ground, without the slightest touch of it.

It is still clearly remembered that even after Senator
Stanford had had presented these discoveries as to the
actual motion of the trotter and the running horse to the
world by the absolute evidences of photography, many
of intelligence failed to comprehend and stubbornly

rejected the proofs, and there are now men who cannot
bring themselves to believe that the photographs taken
at Palo Alto ten years or more ago accurately give the
changed positions of the horse in motion. But the testi-
monies are too thoroughly presented for question any
longer iu the minds of the people, and they are estab-
lished beyond reasonable doubt. In that work, it is
reported, Governor Stanford caused a revolution in
matters pertaining to equities, and it has been of incal-
culable instruction and usefulness to horsemen in every
land. It has better taught trainers and men who handle
horses.

In contemplation of this great development at Palo
Alto, as to the attitudes and motions of the horse, comes
the thought that the illustrated volume soon to appear
will likewise be a work of great value and general inter-
est to turfmen. It is foreshadowed that in it will be
given the ideas and experience of Superintendent Marvin
in training horses and the routine of breeding and hand-
ping them. Also, valuable instruction in the manage-
ment of breeding farms, in the selection of horses, and
in everything pertaining to the business. Superintendent
Marvin has expressed his ideas of training. Compre-
hensively stated they are to the effect that the colt should
be worked early, and this work should be fast, to the de-
velopment of his speed; with good rest before and after
— the work not to be continued too long, to weary or ex-
haust. It is speed that kills, if the colt goes too loDg
and has not been worked up to it. He adopts a sort of
kindergarten process — the only method, he think6, to
make a great horse. Wean them at five months; begin
to work them at seven or eight months, in the small kin-
dergarten track; put boots on them, no harness; turn
them loose and exercise them; bit them at twelve or
thirteen months, and then begins their handling with
short, sharp brushes. The old style of waiting until
the animal has nearly attained his growth, and driving
him a long distance with speed, is not wise or good. To
the many who have not adequate breeding farms and
cannot afford to employ superior trainers, the plain in-
structions given by Mr. Marvin will be beneficial. There
are many who like fine horses and own them, and are
fond of turf sports, but have not the means or opportu-
nities of careful and skilled attention to them, and these
will derive useful information from his counsels. Es-
pecially will farmers and others who breed good horses,
some day likely to become of high worth.

The forthcoming book will commend itself to horse-
men and the general public, as it can be safely predicted
that it will be very superior in every respect, in style
and finish, as in matter and sound reading.

The English Derby.

The English Derby was won by the Duke of Portland's
Donovan (Galopin — Mowerina) ridden by Barrett, Mr. J.
Gretton's Miguel, (Fernandez — Cream Cheese) second, Mr.
Douglas Baiid's El Dorado by Sterling third.

Laureate, Pioneer, Morglay, Enthusiast, Turoophone
Royal Star, Fitzraven, Folengo, Clover, Gay Hampton and
Gulliver also ran.

Donovan was given his head at Tatrenham comer, and
striding on, took the lead half way up the hill and won in a
canter bv two lengths from Miguel who was ridden hard for
the last half mile beating El Dorado by sis lengths for second
place. Pioneer closed up fourth. The feature of the race
was the poor show made by Enthusiast (the 2000 winner)»
and his stable companion El Dorado. The former showed
fairly for a while, but the distance was too much for him.
He is as we said weeks ago, only a miler like the rest of old
Cherry Duchess' produce.

Donovan has wou nearly every time he has started in thiB
and last year. The two thousand is the only race he has
lost this year, and it was generally conceded that George
Dawson was too confident and let upon him after the exhibi-
tion he made of his Geld at .Leicester.

He is now, with Melton, the only horse that has ever won
the Middle Park Plate and the Derby. Several winners of
the former have been considered certainties but always have
failed, and when Melton pulled both off in S3 and 84, it wrb
said it would not recur again for an age but Sio Vita only
four years have elapsed and the trick is done again. The
Duke has now won about $170,000 with bis stable this year,
and bids fair to double that before winter, for there are sev-
eral by stakes to ruu for yet.

We give Donovans performances-here; as a two-year-old
he won The Brocklesby (Lincoln), the Portland Stakes
(Leicester), Middle Park Plate, Dewburst Plate, New Stake,
Bibury Club, Homebred Foal, July, Ham, Buckingham and
Hopeful Stakes. He was beaten by Chitabob at Manchester,
be carrying 136 to the winners 123 pounds, and later on by
El Dorado in the Priuce of Wales Stakes at Gondwood, Don-
ovan finished third seven lengths behind the winner.

This year he has wou the Priuce of Wales Stakes. Derby,
and a minor race or two, as well as being second in the Two
Thousand guineas.

Misty Morning, 2:21, is now nine years old. She was sold
last year to go to France, and has since been beaten in a race
of three miles and n fuilong by a French mure called Capulin
in S:2fi, about a 2:42 gait.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Olema, June 4th, 1SS9.

I claim the name of Eeovolo (I fly) for a brown colt, black
points, no white; sire Antevolo, dam Pastime, by Rnstic.
Pastime ie the dam of Dr. Proctor's fast four-year-old filly
by Dawn, now in Orriu Bickock's hauds at Bay District.

The Petalnma Track has just been covered thoroughly
from the pole to the outside fence with a top dressing of clay
and loam.

The fear from immediate contact with the adobe is taken
of by the loam, while the clay gives the flying steeds a foot-
hold. Lee Shaner, Misner, Sperry, Corcoran and the other
trainers are delighted with the track. Lee smiles as he jogs
along behind Dawn, Slocum or some colt. Dad Misner looks
grim and confident behind Mattie P. as he thinks of his
(Hollyday) at Napa on the 7th. Sperry ridts behind his
trotter with a far-away look towards Pleasanton, trying per-
haps to see Nellie P. in the distance. Coceran has some
youngsters that are knocking at the door. Under the clatter
of flying feet the anxious voices of the drivers, "the spirit of
the times shall track their speed."

An improved approach to the Park from Petsluma is about
to be made. A.n inside winter track will no doubt be ready
for the coming winter. Then, but not until then, will
Petalnma develop her horse interests so that she will stand
on equal footing with her rivals. As ever yours,

P. J. Shafton.

Colt Races at Sacramento-

There was not a very large attendance at the races Tues
day, says the Record Union, but most of those who went
patronized the paols quite liberally. In the first race— two-
vear-old stake, one mile and repeat — the following were the
starters; Clarence Wilkes, by Gay Wilkes; Lynett, by Lyn-
wood; Duke Cameo by -Tim Malvenoa; Silver King by Jim
Mulvenna; Lottery Ticket, by Dexter Prince; Magister by
Sterling.

Clarence Wilkes was the favorite, Lottery Ticket second
choice, and the rest in the field. After scoring Dearly a doz-
en times they were sent off on even footing, excepting Magis-
ter, who was several yards in the rear. Lynett passed to
the front in a spurt and gained the inBide. Along the back-
stretch several of the horses broke and Lynett increased her
lead, making the half in 1:20. She was never headed, aDd
won the race by about eight yards, Lottery Ticket second.

Lotterv Ticket took the second heat after a pretty race.
Time, 2:411.

Lynett gained the third heat, winning the race and first
money. Lottery Ticket was placed second and Silver King
third.

The second race was for the three-year-old stakes, and the
entries were: Laura Z., by Alex Button; Jaggers, by Dexter
Prince; Kitty Vernon, by Mt. Vernon.

Jaggers won the race in straight heats, Lizzie Z. second
and Kitty Vernon third. Best time, 2:46.

The St. Louis Derby.

Cassius wss first to gallop out of the paddock, but this ap-
pearance did not evoke any enthusiasm, says the Republic.
A moment later the St. Lonis colt Longfish, with his head
encased in blinkers, galloped past the stand, and he was giv-
en a rousing send-off. He looked all over the post. Teuton
aDd Calienteand the others were ignored, but Glockner was
given a faint cheer. There was very litile delay at the post.
At the first break Glockner was left facing aroond. but at the
second all were in motion and started on their journey well
together. Glockner showed in front at the first quarter and
that was the only time ia the race that he did face a clear
track. Le Premier was second, a half length back; Cassius
third and Teuton fourth; Longfish fifth, two lengths back,
and Caliente last. As they thundered down toward the stand
Blaylock sent Loogfiish to the front and he was leading by
two lengths at the stand, Le Premier second, Cassius third.
Teuton fourth, and the California colt and Glockner, last.
At the first quarter after the stand Longfish had two lengths
the best of it. Le Premier second, a head in front of Ca«sius,
Caliente last. There was no change at the mile, except that
Longfish was unning easy, while the others seemed to be
laborine. It was all over at the mile and a quarter. Long-
fish increased his lead to four lengths, with Teuton in second
place, Ls Premier third, Cissins fourth and Caliente coming
up. Glockner was out of it. All used the whip except
Blaylock, and he maintained his advantage, winning by fonr
lengths from Caliente second, who came up fast and beat
Cassius a half length for the place. Time, 2:394.

The Santa Anita Stable will send a reinforcement to the
Eastern contingent. Dowd Williams will start out before
the end of the month with four head including Aloha and
Atalanta. The latter has furnished and thickened out won-
derfully since she ran away with her race at the Blood Horse
Spring Meeting, while Aloha has improved and both will
bear watching a little later in the season. We hear that the
yearlings on the ranch have all been broken and look well,
while there are only two mares to foal. What a pity it is
Mr. Baldwin does not breed his mares earlier. The first foal
was dropped on March 5th. A fall list up to date has been
enclosed and we give it.

At Petaluma.

Petaloma race track is gradually and surely proving itself
a quiet and reliable place for rrotting horses. There are now
at the track upwards of seventy horses in active work for the
circuit. Lot Slocum, with a record of 2:17£, deserves first
mention. The son of Electioneer is being steadily prepared
for a lower record, ani certainly, considering his age and
condition, ought to readily obtain one this fall. Dawn, the
chestnut son of Nutwood, after being gradually worked up
with the ultimate object, of course, of beating his record
(2:191), and with ordinary luck in his preparation he will do
it, for he is one of the gamest horses on the track. Ewing,
2:21]-, is in the same stable (Shaner's), as is Juno, both of
whom look well. Corcoran has a large yet select string, the
bay filly by Tilton Almont, out of a G. M. Patchen, Jr.,
mare, ought to trot if breeding and looks are any criterion.
A two-year-old filly by Dawn, dam thoroughbred, by Hnbbard
shows wonderful quality and style which ought to keep her
trotting when the rest begin to stop. The filly by Billy Lyle,
dam Helen by Benton, with a Norfolk cross to fall back on,
ought to give stamnia to what looks like a racy trotter.

Mr. Sperry has a nice looking stable of horses, the most
noticeable being a big, fine two-year-old filly by Anteeo, dam
by Sultan, who has a beautiful gait, while the four-year-old
Anteeo takes more after his grandsire, Joe Daniels, being
built like a race-horse instead of a trotter. Maddos has a
lot of green horses, the most promising being Frank Whip-
pleton, who has already shown some very speedy trials. The
yearling by Bonanza moves in nice style, and it is romored
that in the fall Borne of the crack yearlings will have to go
down the line to keep out of the youngsters way.

Misner has a nice stable, the best probably being Mattie
P., 2:31, who is moving in grand free style, just now show-
ing every sign of going well inside thirty before next fall.
There are any quantity more horses on the track, and when
I have more leisure I shall be delighted to look them all
over and make a complete tour of the stables and track.

N. B.

A Cute Vermonter-

W. S. Hobart, the gentleman who paid $50,000 for Stam-
bonl, was born in Waterbury, Washington county, Vt., 49
years ago, says Horse and Stable. He has been 30 years in
California and Nevada, and has had several ups and downs,
and is to-day considered the richest man of his age on the
coast. In 1S76 he was rated as broken. Now he is estimated
to be worth $7,000,000. Forty years ago the stallion Flying
Morgan stood for three seasons in the barn of the father of
Mr. Ho'oart in Waterbury, and it was then that the present
owner of Stambonl developed his first interest in horses.
His father drove Flying Morgan to a record of 2:32, which
at that time was considered a most wonderful performance,
and as a matter of course the boy was enthusiastic over the
achievement. As a yonng man, Mr. Hobart noticed that
nearly every horse of quality which was produced in Ver-
mont was picked up by buyers from BoBton and New York.

In later years, since he became a resident of the Pacific
Coast, when on visits to his old home, he noticed that all
the good stock had been taken out of the Slate, and the
horses left were generally a scrubby looking lot.

In 1875 Mr. Hobart was the owner of the then i oted trot-
ter Oakland Maid, record, 2:22. The same year he bought of
Harry Bobbins of Philadelphia, a team composed of a pair
of fall sisters, by Rysdyk'H Hambletonian, out of the dam of
Masey Cobb for $500. He now driveB on the road a three-
year-old granddaughter of one of tbo«e mares. He still
owns the dam of this three-year-old, a mar<? by Whipple's
Hambletooiao, and eight other choice broodmares, which
have been purchased at high prices, not given to the public.

Moet A < humlon.

Good thought, generous, lively, pulsing words, and an all
embracing humanity can hardly exist where sternly frugal
diets and lifele?s beverages are customary. The filtiDg
accompaniment of brilliaDt sentences is more brilliant wine,
and none more sparkling than Moet & Chandon. Those
local bonsvivant6 whuse highest pleasure it was to sit wi;h
Henry Rule before a dozen choice canvas backs, with a case
of Moet on ice near by, a few years ago, were unanimous in
the belief that the wine was, above all others, most suitable
to accompany the royal birds, whether for its palate-vivifying
pungency, its well ripened boqnet, its lack of headiness, or
its gently pervading quality. It is now offered in unexcep-
tionable quality in two styles, "White Seal" deliriously dry.
and "Imperial Brut," a little safer, by Messrs. Sherwood &
Sherwood, at 212-214 Market street, San Francisco.

Connoiseors need no intimation as to its excellence, but to
those entering upon generous life it may be said that Moet
& Chandon is most desirable.

Crystal Baths.

Poor old Bnrton anatomized Melancholy from the stand-
point of a dirty philosopher. If he and his compeers had
had hot sea water baths such as John Faruham of the Crystal
Baths at the foot of Mason street, North Beach, furnishes,
there would have been no Melancholy, and no consequent
analysis of that product of disordered functional action of
the lieretoriee.

First, becaDBe of its using nothiDg but a steel shell of pecu-
liar shapH, the cost of which was an item against it; second,
the gun required to be manipulated with great care, because
if the tired shell was not extracted from the gun at a particu-
lar jjeriod of the revolution of the cylinder, it was carried by
aDd could not be again brought in line until a complete revo-
lution of the cylinder had taken place; thirdly, the firing
mechanism was weak, and was fiequently broken in action,
even when handled with the greatest care. The inventor of
this arm was afterwards closely connected with the invention
of the type of fire-arms known to-day under the name of the
reoiprocatiog fore-arm type, of which the Spencer repeating
shot-gun and the Elliot magazine rifles, which ii made by
the Colt Company, are examples, and several other inven-
tions which have not as yet been placed on the market. The
Ballard single shot gun disappeared from the market on
account of the failure and consequent going out of business
of the manufacturer. It embodied the same general features
of the present well-known rifle bearing the same name. The
bore ot the gun waB .64, or about 20-gauge.

Of the single guns of later date. may be mentioned the
Dexter Smith, an arm made in Springfield, Muss., and was,
at the time, a well made arm. It had the side lever action of
the preBeut Hepbnrn-Keamington rifle, with the difference
that the breech block of the Dexter Smith moved the Barue as
in the older Remington system. The breech block was
locked in place by a brace, whioh was thrown in place by a
spring and locked, until released by the fall of the hammer.
The shell was extracted by a spring extractor. The gun was
well made and finished and met with a large sale, but the
maker branched out into other lines of arms and was swamped
thereby.

Another siDgle gun which met with a large sale at the time
of its introduction was the Phceuix, made by the well-known
Whitney Arms Co. of Whitneyville. This gun was made in
12- bore, and chiefly with plain steel barrels. The action of
the Pbcenix was somewhat similar to the now well-known
Zulu gun, in that it was a block which was so hinged that it
lifted up and turned from left to right, and was locked down
by the nose of the hammer, and was well liked by shooters,
but the same action was used in the manufacture of a rifle,
and soon lost favor as a shot-gun, and it has been some
years since the writer hag seen one.

Then came the American gun with a concealed hammer,
of which, but few were made, but the Bame name is preserved
in a much improved arm. Then there was the Henrv gun,
an arm made in Pennsylvania. It bore a general resemblance
to the well-known Stevens arms, but was made for a cheap
arm, and was so in more ways than one.

Another gun which has passed out of existence is the
Prescott, of which two models were made, one with a side
lever, the motion of which half cocked the other hammer
and withdrew the locking bolt, and the model was made with
the popular top lever, but was somewhat difficult of assem-
bling, and both models soon disappeared from the market.
There have been a number of other makers of siDgle guns
who have sprung up and made a small quantity of guns, and
then have been obliged to bow to the inevitable, and both
the makers and the guns have been forgotten by all save a
few of the older sportsmen.

To the Fieh Commission.

Editor Breeder and broBTSMAN:— There are a great
number of shad in Napa river. They are up here for spawn-
ing purposes, and it is crnel to see the ruthless slaughter of
theBe fish. Every night there are parties dragging the river
with, nets, and they catch from four to eight hundred of
them.

Now you write to some of the Fish Commissioners and
send them this letter if you wish. This ought to be stopped.
The State was at expense to bring theBe fish here, and to see
them sacrificed in this way is cruel, and the fool Justices of
the Peace, tell them there is no law against such murder.
If you feel any interest send right along. Angler.

Napa, May 29, 1889.

The Anglers' Tournament.

R. C. Leonard.

The seventh annual anglers' tournament of the National
Hod and Keel Association was held at Harlem Mere in the
Central Park, New York, on Thursday and Friday, May 22d
and 23d, says Forest and Stream. On both days the sun was
toiling away a long way to the south of southeast before the
first fly raised bubbles upon the surface of the wind-rippled
Mere.

Perhaps city life is not conducive to early rising, or the
fisherman had to tramp in many a weary mile from the
remote woodsy rivulets and sequestered lakes where the trout
love to hide; but be that as it may, the only meeting which
took place on the grounds at 9 o'clock was between your
reporter and the secretary of the association, who until then
had the field to himself and his henchman, who was assisting
him in laying out the line of floats.

The position of the platform on the east shore of the Mere
admitted of the line being laid out nearly due north and
south, but with very little variation from that course, and if
the wind had been blowing anywhere north or south or west
the line might have been so laid out as to insure a favorable
wind for extending the casting lines, but the wind was due
west, and was blowing pretty strong, too; still it came in puffs
succeeded by momentary lolls, leaving each contestant to
hope that if he did his best, fortune might favor him with a
propitioQB wind eddy at the right moment.

About half past nine the contestants and officers'of the j
association began to put in an appearabce, and after the first T' B' M1Us
cordial greetings had been exchanged, each in turn proceeded '
to anathematize the wind, but it was all done very genially I
and philosophically, as becomes the brotherhood of the angle, j
This word genial is very properly applicable to fishermen. I
One found evidences of it on all hands as one after the other
reached the ground and saw the gladneBS of his owd heart
reflected in the beaming countenances of his friends. In the
younger men the geniality of expre3sion was sufficiently
characteristic, although its more pronounced phases were
evanescent; but with the older fellows the genial look had
become stereotyped; with use it had become second nature;
the countenances were but the reflection uf the souls within'
perfected by long culture of the angler's many virtues. Why'
there were two or three old boys at the tournament, whom we
delicately forbear to name, who*e faces fairly beamed with
geniality. Perhaps if we could penetrate the secret of this
sublime content with themselves and with things as they are
we should find that not a little of it is due to the simple faith
with which the ohronioles of their wonderful fish stories baa

been received by all but a foW constitutionally incredulous
people. Nature tins her compensations, and every man who
reaches 60 years bears on his countenance the stamp of the
emotions he has most indulged.

There was a goodly but not a numerous gathering — the
kind and courteous president of the Association, Henry P.
Wells, with a score or more of vice-presidents and members
of committees, all decorated with ribbons of the Association,
and Mr. Poey being the moBL noticeable. As the wind could
not possibly be more unfavorable than it was for the direction
in whioh the measured line was extended from the platform
south, the only course open to the committee was to bxtend
the line to the north. This was done, and although it made
matters no better it left the officers of the Association in the
enjoyment of the satisfaction that they had done all that
mortal could do in and about the premises.

By 10 o'clock most of the competitors were on the ground,
but it was 10.30 before the entries were closed for the_rirst
event, the single-handed fly-casting for amateurs.

The prizes were in each event: First, gold medal; second
and third, silver medals; fourth and fifth, bronze medals;
sixth, subscription to Forest and Stream or other journal.

The wind whb blowing strong and tolerably steady, but not
without occasional variation oi a lew points. At one moment
it would veer a little to the south and afford an opportunity
to the contestant to extend his casting line, the next minute
it would veer to the northward, and oatchiug the half-
extended line would cause ic to fall in a great circle with the
tail fly within perhaps thirty feet of the caster. The difficulty
of recovering the line after such a cast, and extending it
backward to secure proper vantage for the next cast is famil-
iar to the initiated. It was a mishap that fell not once but
frequently to each contestant in turn in this and subsequent
contests, and in their several modes of meeting the difficulty
they afforded fair tests of the measure of their experience.
The least experienced, recognizing that time was short, made
strenuous but vain efforts to recover their line, wasting both
time and effort without effect, while the more experienced
either recovered their lines by a dexterous twist, or, failing,
drew in the slack, and crept upward again de novo. But on
the whole the casting was very good. The sty'e of most of
the contestants was high for amateurs. P. C. Hewitt especial-
ly handled his rod with skill and address.

The casting for accuracy was little better than a farce, the
wind occasionally catching a dropping tail fly and whirling it
from 5 to 10 feet aside, even to the extent of baffling the eyes
of the judges, who, losing sight of the fly, would excitedly
ask each other, "Where's that?" But in spite of all this and
the element of chance in casting due to variations of the
wind, the results reached afforded a pietty fair test of their
best work under favorable conditions.

In this event Leonard took the lead, distinguishing him-
self by the addresB with which he husbanded the strength of
his sinewy arm for the critical point of the cast, instead of
distributing it ovei the whole action. Eggerc was outclassed.
The other contestants all got in some very good work, in
spite of baffling winds, but the average of the casts was very
low. Hardly one of them came within 10 ft. of his maxi-
mum half a dozen times in the course of his allotted ten min-
utes.

The wind was very strong and puffy during this contest,
so that the performanc9 offered no fair criterion of the rela-
tive merits of the contestants. This ended the programme
for the first day.

Th© second day was all that the contestants could wish
for as regards the weather. It was almost a dead calm at
9 o'clook, and throughout the day it never exceeded a light
breath. The direction was still nearly from due west as on
the preceding day. There was some delay in getting to
work as on the previous day, a delay in this case partly due
to time lost in the effort to draw out amateurs for the open-
ing event. The jousts of the first day's event had disquali-
fied most of the performers for further appearance as ama-
teurs, and there being but one entry the worthy president,
anxious to provide for the greatest enjoyment of the greatest
nnmber, took counsel with his officers and substituted an
open-for-all contest, as in the following programme:

agreed to decide theirs in black bass fly class.

This event brought out ten competitors, six of whom
made a very creditable exhibition of their skill. Of these
Breese and Mills tied at 90ft., and in throwing off Breese
reached 96ft. and Mills 100ft. A better test of skill would
have been afforded by limiting the leaders to 9ft. "With the
light breeze on the quarter it was only rarely and by chance
that the ISft. leaders could be extended.

Early in this contest Judge Blackford's heart was warmed
and his eye kindled by the very creditable performance of
his son, who showed himself a worthy chip of the old blook,
standing forth in the order of casting. He laid down his
rod with a very respectable lead, but there were strong cast-
ers to follow, and one by one the judge saw the five medals
disappear, but the more practically valuable prize of a year's
subscription to Forest and Stream was saved from the gener-
al wreck of his hopes.

officers were untiring in their efforts to make the meeting a

these efforts, and animated by a spirit of generous rivalry

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

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

with their charges endeavored to thread their way through
the throng.

The crowd appeared very deeply interested in the pro-
ceedings, although by no means well informed as to the ob-
jects of the meeting. One thing appeared evident to them,
that the men who severally went on the platform and com-
menced whipping the waters, were very much in earnest
about the work in hand, whatever it was, and gradually it
waB whispered, and spread from mouth to mouth, that they
were trying to hook the measuring floats with the highest
numbers on them.

Perhaps the general public was not much benefited by the
meeting — who knows? but for the contestants, at least, it
was a period of uoalloyed enjoyment. To the president and
secretary, and other officers of the Association, although the
proceedings may have been wearisome, they were followed
by a comforting sense of duty done, and of the achievement
of the desired ends without friction or shadow.

The Fresno Republican tabes to task the Fish Commis-
sioners for failure and neglect of duty in Southern
waters. Stocking those with the clumsy cat-fish and
coarse carp has worked much harm to trout and other
fine species, and impaired the fishing. The Commis-
sioners should heed the condition in the State.

Since the hydraulic mining has ceased the salmon are com-
ing up this stream again, says the Oroville Register. Years
ago Feather river contained immense numbers of salmon.
Robert Moore sayB the last he remembers were after the big
flood of 1851. From 1S53 to 1856 there were so many that
when he crossed the river they would often frighten his
horse by rushing between his legs. J. V. Parks says that
during the time when the river first began to be mined sal-
mon were plentiful and that numbers of them would go up
into the flumes where the water had a fall of ten feet. Wm.
Greenleaf says from 1852 till the river was greatly discolored
by mining the Feather was alive with salmon.

Grief Killed Him.

(Sidney

The emotional life of the horse is remarkable. There are
instances on record where the death of the horse has been
traced directly to grief. One instance is called to mind,
which occurred more than 20 years ago. A circus had been
performing in the little town of Unionville, Pa., when one of
the trained horses sprained one of his legs so that he could
not travel. He was taken to the hotel and put in a box stall.
The leg was bandaged, and he was made as comfortable as
possible. He ate his food and was apparently contented until
about midnight, when the circus began moving out of town.
Then he became restless, and tramped and whined. As the
caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he
was being deserted, and his anxiety and distress became
pitiful. He would stand with his ears pricked in an attitude
of intense listening, and then as bis ear caught the sound'of
the retiring wagons he would rush, as best he conld, with his
injured leg from one side of the stall to the other, pushing at
the door with his nose and making every effort to escape.
The stableman, who was a stranger to him, tried to soothe
him, but to no purpose. He would not be comforted. Long
after all sounds of the circus had ceased bis agitation contin-
ued. The sweat poured from him in streams, and he qoiv-
ered in every part of his body, t'inally the stableman went
to the bouse, woke up the proprietor, and told him he
believed the horse would die if some of the circuB horses
were not brought back to keep him company. At about day-
light the proprietor mounted & borse and rode after tjie cir*

ens. He overtook it ten or twelve miles away, and the groom
who had charge of the injored horse returned with him.
When they reached the stable the horse was dead. The
Btableman said that he remained for nearly an hour perieotly
still and with every sense apparently strained to the utmost
tension, and then, without making a BJgu, fell and died with
scarcely a struggle. The veterinary who was called re-
marked after the circumstances were told him. that unques-
tionably the horse died from grief. If it is coesible for all
the mental faculties of the horse to become" abandoned to
grief to Buch an extent as to cause death, how much more
does he appeal to the sympathy and regard of mankind.

An Interesting Operation.

Last Saturday afternoon the stables at the Latonia track
were the scene of a very interesting operation in veterinary
surgery, says the Kentucky Stock Farm. Last Thursday
morning Mildale. a very promising two-year-old colt, belong-
ing to John Hannigan, the well known trainer and superin-
tendent of the Latonia track, was injured while exercising.
The horse was sired by Onondaga, and has never been
entered for a race, but from the time he had made in exercis-
ing he was considered to be the most promising two-year-old
of the lot. Mr. Hannigan was offered $6,000 for him early
this week.

By a sudden start while exercising he fractured the bones
of the right hind leg just below the hock. Saturday it was
deoided to put the horse in the sling. He had not slept for
three days, and was getting worse and worn out of condition.
The fractured bones were liable to separate at any time, aDd
if that took place there would be very little chance of saving
hiB life.

Saturday afternoon at two o'clock Dr. Anderson had every-
thing ready. The sling whs suspended from the roof of the
stable by ropes run through pulleys. Dr. Anderson passed
the heavy canvas piece, which forms the sling proper, under
the belly of the horse, and fastened it on the other wide. The
ropes were Blowly pulled up. The horse became alarmed at
the feeling of relief from weight and began to struggle. But
us Boon as he found that no harm was intended he gradually
yielded to the pleasure of the support, and sank iuto the
sling.

The hnlter held his hea'. the sling held his boiy, and so
exhausted was he that in a few minutes he fell sound asleep
and snored like a man. He slept for about twenty minutes
without waking — a length of time equal to two hours' sleep
for a man. He soon became used to the sling, and fell asleep
again.

The sling will be kept under him for thirty-five days. The
fracture is bound in a plaster of paris cist, aud, now that all
weight is taken off of it, will heal rapidly. Without the
sling tbe horse would so worry the injured part of the leg
that inflammation would set in, and be would finall
be shot. As it is, in about a month the injured lee
sound and well as ever, and the horse will be gj1
to fulfill the expectation of his owner.

stoutest lines. His dam, Young Fashion was the dam
of surprise. Scotland (the only horse that ever heat

PERFORMANCES.

Memo only trotted in public inhis two-year-old form,
obtaining a record of 2:1!), though he was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
ot.dheat of which was made in 2:31 M. the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old,
and had it not been lor a slight strain of Mb fore fet-
lock there is little que stion that he would have shown
in public very close to the best record. On the Oakland
track he was timed a mile in 2:20W, and frequently
trotted quarters infrom 32^ to 31 seconds.
DESCRIPTION.

Ff e is nearly if not quite sixteen hands high, and of
powerful build throughout. His color is a glossy black,
with both fore-feet white and a touch of wMte on Ms
off hind quarters. His disposition is all that cauld be
deBired, and Ms action sunerb.

Tf.kms: One hundred dollars the season.

Alexander Button.

Alexander's Record, *:3l 1-4:

DESCRIPTION.
Alexander Button is a dark bay with fine flowing
n,ane and tail; stands 15-3& hands high; weight
1,200 pounds, and is of excellent disposition. When
three years old he made a record of 2;28>i,and when
four vears old, in his first race, he obtained a record
of2:2i>3-j. Has been driven a mile in 2:16 in his four-
year-old form, and has been drive i a last half in 1:0 .
Alexander Button is a natural trotter, inherited
througuthe speed-lines of his ancestors, and imparts
his speed to bis offspring with uniform certainty.
Yolo Maid, as a three-year-old, paced IS heats, never
leaving her feet— carrying the world's record of 2:14.
Rosie Mc, as a five-year-old. rarely ever breaks; has
a record of 2:20^;. R. H.Newton's colt, with very little
handling, paced a 2:16 gait, and there are several other
coltB that show gairs from 2-lSto 2:20. Considering
that Al-xander Button has never been mated with a
standard-bred mare— his coltB show him to be a won-
derful producer— and with his breeding, and terms of
service, he is the cheapest and most wonderful horse
in the State.

The genial owner also has several fine appearing yearlings
which will be heard from next year, if all goes well with
them. He has in training, Glen Ellen, Kildare, Lurline,
Marigold and Crofter, all of which are highly thought of by
those who know the horses. A visit to Mr. Chase's place is
always a sonrce of pleasure, as the proprietor takes especial
care to make the sojourner as mnch at home as possible.

Encino Rancho.

Thirteen miles from San Jose on the Monterey road, Thos^
M. Fisher has 750 acres of as good land as ever laid out of
doors. The rancho consists of orchards, green fields, large
paddocks for horses, and an immense dairy, the latter being
one of the best in Santa Clara county. Mr. Fisher has an
ardent love for the equine race, and in this garden spot has
quite a number of very tine thoroughbreds. A representa-
tive of the Beeeder axd Sportsman was invited to call and
take a look at the tine specimens of horseflesh now owned
at the Encino Rancho, and a few days ago, received a cheery
welcome as he drove up to the gate of the hospitable pro-
prietor. After an iotroduction to Mrs. Fisher and the family
an old fashioned country dinner was disposed of, the morn-
ing ride causing the scribe to have an appetite that any dys-
peptic would have been proud of. Prior to visiting the
stables a ride was taken around the broad acres, heavy and
rich with the Bummer coloring. A small aimy of harvesters
were hard at work attending to the hay crop which will be
very large at the rancho this year, while preparations were
being made in another field to begin heading within a few
days.

The forty acres laid out in orchards have been attended to
with great care, and although the trees are only of two years'
growth, present a magnificent appearance, and it will not be
long before the owi.er will receive a large return for the time
and money expended. The dairy was looked over and found
to contain all the latest improvements in addition to being
kept in a high state of cleanliness. A large number of cows
are milked daily, milk, butter and cheese being sent to San
Jose and Sin Francisco; and snch is the reputation of the
Eueino Dairy that ten times the amount now produced could
be disposed of readily.

The stables are situated only a short distance from the
residence, and at present are large enough for immediate use,
although Mr. Fisher contemplates building an extensive
stable and barn this fall, which will equal anything in the
State. Notwithstanding the proposed changes, there ate few
breeding farms in California to-day which have as comforta-
ble stalls and surroundings as are on this ranch at present.
Brood mares always have an attraction for the lover of the
horse, and it is to them that we first pay attention.

A beautiful chestnut mare was seen standing under the
shade of a large oik tree, with a magnificent filly by her side,
and lo her we first paid our respects. She is Sally Hart, by
Montana, dam Cricket, by Rifleman, second dam Lady Bell,
by Belmont, tbirJ dam Lilly Hitchcock, by Lexington. The
filly at her side will be a clear chestnut, and is by Judge
McKinstry. who at one time gave promise of being a very
fast race horse, and was given three preparations, but each
time, an accident happening, he had to be thrown out of
training. Judge McKinstry is by Grinstead, and out of that
grand old race mare, Katy Pease, who made a reputation for
herself almost two decades ago. The filly is a fine, shapely
youngster, and, combining as she does the best blood of the
New World, should make a Dame when brought to the post.
We did want to name the filly, but found that Matt Stone
had been requested to do so by Miss Fisher, and that old-
time horseman had called her Centella (Lightning.)

Another fine matron was close at hand, the ch m May D.
Jr., who also has a foal by Judge McKinstry. May D. Jr*
is by Wildidle, dam Sally Hart, whose pedigree is given
above. Her filly looks strong and hardy, will be very heavy
muscled, and gives great promise of being a race horse of
rare quality.

"Viola Rea is a brown mare of magnificent proportions by
Lodi, dam Mamie Hall by Norfolk, her dam Miami. Viola
Rea has also a grand appearing horse colt, bay in color, by
Judge McKinstry, and it is the equal of the other two; in
fact the three foals would be hard to beat anywhere, and
should add greatly to the name of McKinstry as a sire.

Quite a number of others were seen all in splendid order,
and many about to foal. Mr. Fisher also has two in training
for the fall meeting which give exceedingly great promise,
one being an unnamed Wildidle colt, dam Viola Ilea, He is
almost the exact counterpart of E. J. Baldwin's Volants, and
will be able to carry every pound of weight that that old
crack was ever burdened with. He is much larger than
Volante, being about 15.3 in height, gives every indication
of the race horse, with plenty of bone, great speed, and an
excellent constitution. If he does not prove a thorne in the
side of many before the racing season closes we will be much
mistaken.

The stable companion of the Wildidle colt is Fanny F.,
named after Mr. Fisher's only daughter, a young lady well
posted in horse love, and an excellent judge of the racing
qualities of a thoroughbred. Fannie F. is by Wildidle, dam
Sally Hart, and has already appeared in public, having as a
Iwo-year-old got a place in the Golden Gate Stakes, beating
Surinam for the position. She also defeated Elwood ia a
match race at tho Bay District track, although Dot in condi-
tion to run, but Mr. Fisher has great confidence that she
will make a mark for herself this year.

Henry Clay Blood.

" Erasmus," who is manifestly an admirer of Henry Clay
blood and favors judicious mingling of it with that of Ham-
bletonian, writes from New York to the Kentucky Stock
'Farm, with reference to the fact which he alleges — that
daughters of Henry Clay are sought more than his sons, and
asks the reason for this. He knows of no failures of the
sons of Clay as sires, and they have produced trotters of
high speed. He believes in £he cross of tbe thoroughbred
mare, and cites two instances to~ illustrate the efficacy of this:
One, a borse by Henry Clay, out of a pure thoroughbred
mare, which has no other gait than a trot; and that of a
horse, sired by Electioneer out of thoroughbred mare, which
was likewise a pure trotter. He reasons from these instances
that while the iDflaence of the dam is demonstrated id the
speed, it is the trotting instinct in gait which comes from
tbe sire that predominates. And if the daughters of Clay are
desirable in breeding trotters, why should not also be his
sons as sires to like purpose? "Erasmus" does not know of
any of the sons of Clay which have not proved successful as
sireB, and unless they are to have apportunity, how are the
daughters of his line to be perpetuated? HeDry Clay pro-
duced Green Mountain Maid, and his Flora and Hattie
Wood were by no means ordinary mares, besides many others
still to be heard from. At the sale at General Tracy's farm,
Mr. Shultz bought Hildegarde and paid the highest price
except one bid for a brood mare, and at the Falo Alto sale
the two-year-old daughter of Frolic by Henry Clay, brought
the highest price, S3,000. He thinks that it is the cross of
Electioneer on Henry Clay blood, and not the Hambletonian
blood in Electioneer that causes the result; and he further
thinks that the more of the Clay blood in amalgamation with
that of Hambletonian there is, the better the result will be.

Jimmy McLaughlin who is rightfully entitled to the title of
King of American jockeys, for he has won moTe races than
any other man, is a very modest young man, and his recent
troubles have made him rather delicate about getting into
print. So, after a great deal of persuasion, he consented to
tell a Parish's Referee reporter about some of his races.

'■I think about the best race I ever rode was one of my
best wins. It was at Jerome Park way back in 1877.

"Col McDaniel put me up on his filly Lady Salyers, that,
by the way did not amount to a thundering lot. We all got
away pretty well, and I tried to get my mount a moving. It
was like rowing a canal boat against the tide. Still I man-
aged to hang on pretty well, and when a quarter of a mile
away from home the lady commenced to make the dust fly.
I was the last horse of nine in that race, and the way I cut
them down going up the stretch. I jast tickled her sides a
little bit with my eaffs, and she fairly flew. On the way I
overhawled the leader aud then I drew my whip. I man-
aged by hard riding to squeeze home a winner by a head. I
think I felt more genuine pleasure at that win than I have
at any time since.

(T had another good race early in my career.
"That was an old Khadamanthus. It was in 1878, I think,
when I was with Father BUI Daly, Mr. J. R. Gibney, who
was at Saratoga, sent for me to ride hurdle races for him. I
was doing nothing one day, and the Dwyer Bros, had old
Rhadamanthus entered for a jumping race.

"They were hunting for a rider, and finally Mr. Wheatley,
the secretary of the course, pointed me out. They accepted
me, and told me to ride a waiting race.

"I did so. I guess I was number sis in the race when we
were entering the home stretch. I just let old 'Rad' out
then, and with a little tickling landed him under the wire a
winner by a good length.

"That was how I came to be with the Dwyers. They
rather fancied me rnd engaged me.

"Another hard race and a close one was one I had at
Sheepshead Bay. It was at the fall meeting, and I was up on
"Woodford in the Farewell Stakes.

"We got off well and Thackeray immediately joined me.
It was only a seven fnrlong race, and I had made up my
mind to go right out, make the running, and win the race. I
didn't have a doubt about the winning part of it.

""Well, Thackeray got his head in front of the queen, and
to save my lite I could not get her past him. He Btuck there
like a barnacle to ka ship's bottom, aud although I tried my
best we finished that way, Thackeray jast winning by a
head.

"Another hard race was when I rode Hanover in the
Brooklyn Handicap last year. The Bard beat me. There
was a pile of money staked on the black's success, and as I
had a few pennies on myself you can depend on it that if
winning was possible I was going to win. The Bard went
out and rated along ahead of me a couple of lengths, and I
dusted along behind with the black going very easy,

"Going around the far turn I eneeavored to move up. I
did get up a little piece, but was never able to head the vet-
eran. I worked very hard for it, and was badly disappointed
at the result.

"Luke Blackburn was the greatest horse I ever rode. I
made the record for a mile and a half with him, but it was in
a weight for age race.

"He only carried 102 pounds in the Champion Stakes at
Monmouth on August 17, 1880, so you see he was very light
weighted, and as it was my ambition to beat the record with
him, I just went out when the flwg dropped and made the
whold of the running. There were a number of good horses
pitted against me, but they never got anywhere near me. I
set a very fast pace, and coming into the stretch I let him go.
After the race I looked at the time, and found that I had
made the mile and a half in just 2:34.

"Tom Bowling had previous to that held the record at that
distance, hU time being 2:34jJ.

"I have had several falls in my time, but none very seri-
ous. No, 1 don't feel any fear while riding. In fact there is
hardly time to get scared, when you come to think of it.
The fail I got at Graveseud two years ago was the worst one
I ever got. I was on Tampa. That little dare-devil. Palmer,
who was riding Subaltern, cut across me on the far turn. I
tried to pull up and the reins broke. That was all I knew
for some hours. They told me afterwards ihat Garrison and
his horse were piled on top of me, and then I began to won-
der that I wasn't killed.

"This last race of mine, the Handicap, was a disappoint-
ment to me, as it was to many others.

"I fully expected to win with Terra Cotta, but I am afraid
the long journey was a set back to him. I rode for all 1 "
worth, however. Indeed, I always do."

This season Jimmy rides for the Chicago Stable,
dfiys ago he left for the West with the stable.

A. C.Dietz.

The present methodical movement againBt the business
interests of Mr. A. C. Dietz on the pait of the mnnieipal
authorities of Oakland, impresses the looker on as absolute
persecution. It is an unfortunate condition of affairs if the
governmental macbinery can be used for the purpose of em-
phasizing the dislike one citizen may bear another. Mr.
Dietz has been long identified with the City of Oaks, and in
point of enterprise, public spirit and those other qualities
that go to make good citizens, has ranked second to no one
among his fellows. As a promoter of personal efforts and
his private purse of the Golden Gate Fair Association he did
much for the turf interests of the State, and his services in
that direction are appreciated by horsemen. Among this
class the general expression is of regret that such a man
Bhoold have been singled out as the victim of personal and
political maleolence. If there is any truth in the theory of
the leveling effects of time, then this graceless assault on a
worthy citizen will be a boomrang that shall some day re-
turn to plague the throwers.

Veterinary Meeting.

The California State Veterinary Medical Association held
its quarterly meeting last Wednesday evening at the Baldwin
Hotel, Dr. Maclay of Petalnma presiding, and Dr. McCollum
of Sacramento officiating as secretary. Also present, Drs.
Spencer (San Jose), "Wadham (Santa Clara), Klencn {Santa
Rosa), Orvis (Stockton), Massoero, Egan, Neef, Bowhill,
Woodruff and Burns (San Francisco). After the minutes of
the last meeting had been read a long discussion took place
as to the form of certificate to be given to members of the
Association. It was ultimately decided that Drs. Maclay and
McCollum be appointed a committee to draw up a certificate
in accordance with the form suggested by Dr. Bowhill, and
that the certificate be signed by the President, Vice-Presi-
dent and the Examination Committee. A letter was then
read from Dr. Morrison of Los Angeles, proposing Dr.
Bowles of Pasadena as a member and at the same time
expressing regret at his inability to be present. Dr. Spencer
then read a very concise, interesting and instructive article
on "Ergotism," giving several cases which had come under
his personal supervision. A long discn&sion followed as to
tne effeot produced by ergot, and also whether smut or some
other fungus could not produce some of the symptoms. Dr.
Bowhill then read his paper on "The Examination of Horses
sb to Soundness." It was a very careful, voluminous pam-
phlet, evidently the result of long and deep research into all
the nest authorities on that subject, and was productive, of
course, ot long and keen argument, finally winding up with
the President's address, in which, after complimenting both
the essayists, he critically reviewed both lectures, and wound
up his remarks by say me that on the Bubject of soundness
and unsoundness veteriniarians differed just as much as
anyone else. Senator Dixon was made an honorary member
for his services in the Senate in favor of the bill promoted by
the Association, high compliments being paid him for his
assiduity and attention to their interests. After fixing the
25th of September as their next meeting the members
adjourned to that date, when they will again meet in San
Francisco.

Bay District Horses.

Most of the large stabler* have been already mentioned in
this and previous editions with the exception of Brandow's.
The above mentioned well known driver courteously con-
ducted a representative of the Breeder and Sportsman
through bis stable the other morning. He has a large
string of horses belonging to various owners. Under his
care is Sol "Wilkes, 2:47. He is a four-year-old, the prop-
erty of Capt. Johnson. He iB a stylish looking bay who can
go easily in 30 now, and will surely 1 jwer his record about
27 seconds.

Charlie Havens has his black pacer Racquet, who has a
record of 2:28i, and looks like bettering it with Brandow's
careful handling. Col. J. E. English has two, bred by J. B.
Haggin, one a very pretty brown mare called Baggie, and the
other a slashing bay gelding by Albert "W. out of a Hubbard
mare, who is sure to trot, and even if he belies his looks he
is worth a minature fortune as a buggy horse.

Mr. Smith has two very handsome ones, a five-year-old
chestnut mare by Abbotsford, dam by Whipple's Hamble-
tonian, who has already shown a mile in 2:25, and going
eaBy, too. The other, a pacer, is a good, big, fine look-
ing road horse. Ned Fay has one of the best looking bnggy
mares on the coast whom he wants to give a record, and
Judge Levy has a bay gelding by Crown Point who looks a
wear and tear customer.

The next two are Brandow's own property. One is a black
mare by Orange County, dam by Bellfounder, who has been
bred to Ansel, and a big, fine, handsome bay road horse by
Alexander out of a seven-eighths thoroughbred mare, who
looks as though he could stay for a week, and has pace, too.

Capt. Griffin has the black four-year-old Altamont mare
that he purchased at the Malone sale. Driven round the
track every day, her action being generally admired. The
old timers WellB Fargo, Bonanza, Haverly and several others
are plodding along steadily every day, and Griffin has one or
two handy looking trotters and a chestnut pacer that showB
great promise. Jack Garritty has a nice pacer in Maggie A.,
who is a very rapid mover, and with lack Bhould lower the
record made at the track last Saturday.

Death of Hubbard.

Meeting Mr. Richardson, of Fresno County, on Thursday,
he informed us that the old stallion Hubbard dropped dead
from heart disease on "Wednesday. Hubbard was a great
raoe-horse in his day, as the following record of hiB victories
will show:

1871.— Long Branch, N. J., July 7.— July stakeB for two-
year-olds, $50 each, p. p., $500 added, three-quarters of a
mile; won by Hubbard, beating Experience Oaks. Maliata
and Sanford's King Lear filly. Time, 1:22. "Value of stakes,
$700.

1872.— Baltimore, Md., October 22.— Dixie Stakes, for
three-year-olds, ninety nominations; dash of two miles, 110
pounds on colts, 107 on fillies; won by Hubbard, beating Joe
Daniels, True Blue, Woodbine, Mate, Silent Friend, Wheatly,
Experience Oaks and Bronkland; won by Bix lengths. Time,
3:36£. Value of Btakes, $13,800.

Saratoga, New York, August 22.— Sweepstakes for three-
year-olds, two miles; won by Hubbard, beating Backden,
Nevada and Golitza. Value of stakes, $2,150.

1873 —Long Branch, N. J., July 10.— Grand Sweepstakes,
S3,000, added to a sweepstake of $150 each, p. p., the second
to receive $500, the third $250; four mile heats; won ty

Hubbard, distancing Wheatly and Bessie Lee in the first
heat. Time, 7:37*. Value, $4,500.

Saratoga, N. Y~, August 2.— Purse, $1,000, for all ages,
dash of three miles; won by Hubbard, beating Wanderer,
Harry Bassett and King Harry. Time, 5:34. Value, $1,000.

Saratoga, N. Y„ August 9.— Purse $800, for all ages, dash
of two and three-quarter miles; won by Hubbard, beating
Boss Tweed and Katie Pease. Time, 4:58f .

To this day his two mileB and three-quarter record stands
unequalled. He was a full sister to Katy Pease, being by
Planet out of Minnie Mansfield by imp. Glencoe. He was
foaled in 1869, but up to hiB death was full of life and vigor.

The Napa Turf Club.

The wide awake citizens of Napa have a turf club and
gave a meeting on last Friday and Saturday, rain having
caused a postponement from May 17th and 18th. A repre-
sentative of tne Breeder and Sportsman visited the beauti-
ful valley city and was agreeably surprised by the spirit dis-
played, the members being very enthusiastic, and all of them
worked like Trojans to make the meeting a success. The ad-
joiniog towns were well represented familiar faces being
present from Vallejo, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Healdsbnrg,
not forgetting San Francisco and Sacramento. The track
was in splendid condition, end as usual very fast. The at-
tendance was not as large as the sport merited, but the
farmers are all so buBy in the harvest fields at present, that a
large attendance could hardly have been antieipated. The
weather was of the best, and the racing enjoyable. "While
Bitting watching the crowd from the timers stand, the atten-
tion of the writer was called to several barns nestling
among a forest of oaks, but a short distance from
the track. The vision presented to the eye, re-
called many old reminiscences of racing in the eaily
days of California, for those stables that we are watching
were once the homes of Lodi, Ashland, Billy Cheatham,
Strideaway, Shannon and a host of other cracks that made
the name of Nathan Coombs celebrated from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. And there also was the old race track over
which many a hotly contested heat has taken place, and to
which objective point many a horseman has gone to witness
the equine battles. But we are here to record things of the
present and not to ruminate over what is past and gone. The
pool selling was in the hands of "Whitehead & Co., of San
Francisco, but the betting was rather slack, the only race of
the meeting in whioh any amount was placed in the box
being the 2:30 free for all.

The officers on the firBt day were D. Brown, C. Scott and
J. A. Canfield. Timers, Messrs; Gardner, Sperry and Zane,
and A. H. Conkling as clerk of the course. The first race on
the card was the St. Helena Citizens' purse for buggy horses,
and four responded to the bell, J. W. William's Redwin;
Orrin Jones' Gasmeter, T. Mooney's Dixie, and D. Smith's
Flora S. The three heats necessary to decide the race were
all of a sameneBs, Redwin proving too much for the balance,
GaBmeter being the only one that could make the winner
show any speed.

In the pools prior to the first beat Redwin sola for §20; field BIO.

The second race or the day had three entries, B. C. Hol-
ly's Vesolia, D. R. Mizner's Mattie P., and H. B. Starr's
Cora C. It was a generally conceded fact that Holly hud the
race at his mercy, for Vesolia seemed in splendid fettle,
while the others were short of work. But then, one can
never tell until it is all over what the result will be. Vesolia
sold in the pools for $20, Mattie P. for $6, and Cora C. for
SB4

The word was given to a splendid start, and away the trio
went, all making a gallant fight for the lead, but at the
half Vesolia took a commanding position, and won an easy
heat, trotting beautifully, in 2:31£. Cora C. broke twice, or
she would have stood a better chance for the heat.

The second heat was but a repetition of the first, Vesolia
never making skip or break, although hard pressed by Cora
C, Holly, however, had the daughter of Stamboul well in
hand, and won as he pleased in 2:32£.

When the horses were called out for the third heat, it was
plainly apparent that Vesolia had not cooled out properly.
When the word was given Cora C. had the best of the send
off, and quickly placed two lengths between herself and
Mattie P. On the backstretch it looked as though Vesolia
was a distance to the bad, she having broke badly, and would
not settle until she was brought almost to a standstill. The
heat was won easily by Cora C, Harry Starr handling the
Whippleton mare in a masterly manner. Time, 2:32. Mattie
P. second and VeBolia a bad third.

The fourth heat Bhowed conclusively that Vesolia was now
out of the race, for Bhe tired wonderfully, but to Bhow that
the heart was there, after the field waB a dozen lengths to
the good, the little descendant of the Moor plucked up a
lot of energy and made a bid for the heat but she couH not
quite accomplish it, Mattie P. beating her for second place,
by a full half length although Mr. Holly tried to argue with
the judges that he beat Misner's entry by the length of his
whip, but he was mistaken for Mattie P. beat him a full half
length.

Cora C. now had the race well in hand and captured the
next two heats in hollow style in 2:42| and 2:33£, the Holly
youngster not showing up nearly as well as she will later in
the season.

A special named race was next on the programme, Frank
Denio naming Gus D.; T.Smith, Tanner Boy; W. McGill,
Fanny, and H. B. Starr, Black Prince.

In the pools Gus D. was the favorite, selling for even
money against the field, but he was not in the race except in
the first heat, where he managed to finish second. Black
Prince won with plenty to spare, his able driver having him
in much better form, although be had had only slow work,
while the others Bhowed up to poor advantage.

The first race of the second day brought out, Black Prinoe,
Lela and A.nti-Coolie. In the pools Anti-Coolie was a pro-
nounced favorite, but lost the two firBt heats to Black Prince,
the black gelding not showing up much the worse for the

racing of the day before. However, he captured the last three
heats, trotting steadily and without a break.

The open raoe for 2:30 horses had as contestants Palo Alto's
Marion, Holly's San Diego, and Starr's Flora Belle. It was
generally understood that Marion was only out for a record,
but it would have taken a very fast trotter to have beaten her
that day, she proving herself a first class mare. Mr. Holly's
entry has a pacing record of 2:21, but he gives every indica-
tion of proving a remarkably fast trotter, for although he
still wears the hobbles, the sigDs of speed are not lacking.
Marion won in three straight heats, with little or no trouble,
and has been sent to the cover of Electioneer, Senator Stan-
ford being desirouB that she Bhould have a record before she
was sent to the stud.

field.

The third and last Tace of the meeting was the Napa Citi-
zens purse for buggy horses, which was prolific of much fun,
but was very one sided, as Mr. Inman's White Stocking was
much faster than any of the other entries.

Solano and Napa Fair.

In the proper column appears the announcement of the
Solano and Kapa Fair Association, which begins the circuit
this year on August 13th. The speed programme is an ex-
ceedingly'attractiveone and the purses offered are most liberal
in amount, aggregating over $11,000. The directors are the
right men in the right place, and have gone about the busi-
ness ir the right way. Kesidents ot the District are seem-
ingly of but one opiuion and that is that the 1889 fair will be
a grander success than any that have proceeded it. The
grounds will be much improved and accommodations pro-
vided, far in excess of what Ihere was laBt year. The track
is one of the fastest in the State and by many trainers con-
sidered the very best to train on, as is evinced by the fact
that over forty horses are quartered there now, receiving
preparatory work. The entries close on August 1st, which
give owners ample time to find out what their horses are cap-
able of doing and in what classes to enter them.

Prohibition as to Quail.

The Santa Cruz Surf chronicles an instance of a new thing
in capturing quail. A farmer soaked grain in whisky,
strewed the ground with it, and awaited the consequence.
He had been less successful in shooting quail than he had
hoped for, and his eagerness for a nice mess of the delicious
bird stirred alike his maw and his gall. There was no in-
genuity in it. Possibly he had learned, by practical exper-
ience, the effect of whisky upon men — himself included — and
therefore essayed that process of comin' thro' the rye or of
testing the Btrength of corn juice upon the innocent and un-
suspecting quail. They ate of the soaked grain and fell by
the wayside, in fact all over the field, stupined, prone and
helpless. All he had to do was to gather them in, gather
them in. A couple of dozen brace would have sufficed him
of the birds, sober and sensible; but he easily picked up a
hundred or more. He had a dead thing— dead drunk quail.
What a performance for a man who doubtless boasts his
sportsmanlike qualities? It is somewhat as a ronnder's
boa&t of rolling a victim overcome by drink. Bagging a
hundred quail without discharge of gun or use of powder
and shot! If not marvellous, it is malicious. The thought-
less and vicious who scatter cooulus indices to scoop ten
times the quantity of game fish they require are of the same
base metal, cast in a mould simply Bcaly and not feathered.
It is noble sport, is this new way of bagging quail.

It lacks only the head of the sportsman in the bag. Cap-
turing a dranken man involves Bmall risk to the hoodlum —
he has to fear only the police. But suppose that this order
of quail hunters should likewise have before them the fear
of the officers of the law? Will not the officers of the game
law see that hereafter this peril sball be to deter offenders?
Putting salt on the tails of birds to catch them is a fool's
fancy. But he is not to be rated as a fool in law who soaks
grain in whiskey to overcome game birds. The tangle-foot
whioh prostrates the man must inevitably cause the quail to
tumble to it. Who wants drunken quail on toast? Only the
man in Santa Cruz, it is to be hoped. Prohibition is* lost
upon him. Yet he should be made to observe it toward
quail, toward all game birds. What an outfit for a sportsman!
No gun, no powder, no shot, no dog— except the hunter.
Instead, a bag of grain, a demijohn of pisen whiskey, and a
scavenger's big gunny sack in which to stow away the
sodden birds — nature's feathered bipeds fallen in the trick of
imitating Plato's featherless bipeds! The embalmer of such
sportsmen, when dead, should b.e a taxidermist.

The McMahon stable is having unusually hard luck this
season. All of the horBes are just about good enough to get
beaten. They win when least expected and when not backed.
Garrison promises to prove a useful youngster, as he ran a
good race yesterday.

During a fire in Henry's livery stable, Fresno, on the night

and had quite a reputation in the San Joaquin "Valley.

Dennis Gannon, of Oakland, has now eighteen head of
horses at his home place, which he exercises every day "with

In Wallace's Monthly, Martin Halfpenny, in a strong
article, urges that pacers with a record of 2:25 should be
allowed to come in the registered list, and if not, then it is
high time that the pacing-horse breeders should organize a
national pacing-horse breeders' association and commence a
pacing register.

A great number of Eastern Bporting papers, whenever the
name of Stamboul is used, state that Mr. Rose has wagered
©10,000 that Stamboul will equal or lower 2:12 this year.
Mr. Rose has not bet S10.000 on the result of any trial or
race, but has made a wager of ©5,000 with Counsellor Craw-
ford that Stamboul will trot in 2:12 or better during 1889.

Messrs. Miller & Sibley, of the Prospect Hill Farm, Frank-

A case of horse resurrection has occurred in Newburg, N.

and on the first pull it arose to iis feet and frisked its tail.
Now the equine is seen drawing garbage on the streets.

tion for a meeting of the Board of Directors, to see if they
will reinstate Al Farrow, now that Mr. Walters has regained
possession of him.

Augnst Belmont has been the fortunate owner at the
Brooklyn Jockey Club meeting, having won ©36,830. St.
Carlo the two-year-old, accounting for ©17,900 of it. The
Dwyer Bros, were second with ©20,182, of which the resur-
rected Inspector B. had the lion's share (©6,505) to his cred-
it. Mr. Lakeland despite his Exile win only had $11,225 to
bis name, "W. L. Scott with $9,230, The Monies ©7,655 and
W. C. Daly ©7,655.

D. J, McCarty has denied to a Chicago reporter that Al-
bert Cooper will train Sorrento for the American Derby. As
the story was copied* from my gossip page, it may be as well
to state that the information was received from Dan's brother
who is supposed to be the San Francisco end of the com-
bination. At the same time he also said that Hamilton had
been secured to ride the sorrel for the Derby.

Wood Wattles sent young Miami to Director. He could
not have made a better selection. By the way, I hear that
he has had a good profit already offered for two of his pur-
chases, particularly the Anteeo suckling, but as he did not
buy them for that purpose he refused to put a price on them,
and wisely, too, for in a couple of years the colt ought to be
worth as much as he gave for the lot.

Jimmy Dustin, of Oakland, is trying to fool the boys at the
track by not driving the mile from wire to wire, but he has a
little post that he starts irom and finishes at, and finishes
the balance at an easy gait. I timed Maggie E. one day lately
when Mr. Dustin did not know I had "caught on." and saw
her go Jimmy's mile in 2:18^, and even then the mile was
made, wire to wire, in 2:20£.

Andy McDowell is seemingly determined that the Pleas-
anton Stock Farm shall produce the speediest trotters o*. the
year, for he is Bending his charges along in a manner to
frighten the ordinary trainer. He haH under Mb care the
well known trotting mare Li Hie Stanley 2:17A, and she gives
every indication that her present record is no nieaBure of
her speed, for only a few days ago Andy drove her a full
mile in 2:20, the last half being trotted at a gait that would
Burprise the firmest believer in her great speed.

Charles H. Kingsley no more, but Jockey Kingnley now.
I saw the redoubtable bookmaker at the Bay District durin g
tbe early part of the week, driving his trotting horse, AlPe
Whipple, and holding the watch with the skill of a profes-
sional. I ooly limed one mile, 2:42. the last half being done
in 1:20. This boise should be able to do much better than
his record, 2:33£. find probably will before winter sets in,
anl Charley haB~ promised to pe.t up the wine if he can lower
Ihe record, driving himself.

While I have not Been the yearling horse colt by Sidney,
that Dick Havey is driving at the Bay District, I have heard
from twenty that have, and they are unanimous in the
opinion that Norlaine's yearliug record will be beaten beyond
the peradventure of a doubt. While many are of this same
opinion, yet Mr. Marvin at Palo Alto, is laughing in his
sleeve, slill, wondering how many seconds the stallion can
beat it by, for he has two that are being prepared to knock
several seconds off Norlaine's time, and he naturally feols a
little anxious for the result.

Gold Leaf, 2:15, within a few days has shown a half mile
in 1:05, and there ib every reason to believe the chestnut
mare will be able to reduce her pacing record considerably.
M.irgaret S. is also doing good servicable work, halves in
1:08 and full miles in 2:20 being placed to her credit lately.
Mr. Sanlsbury is highly elated over the work shown by the
latter, for if she keeps on as Bhe is doing, the three-year-old
record will surely be broken.

By late Australian files we note that Antaeus by Sir Mod-
red, won the First Nursery Handicap at rive furlongs, beating
a field of seventeen, and that little Bernie by Cheviot won
the NnrBery at Warwick Farm from a field of eleven, and
ran second in a field of twenty-two at six furlongs, only Sine-
cure, the crack two-year-old of Australia, being able to lower
his colors. The great Carbine has beaten all records by win-
ning the Sydney Cup, carrying 126 pounds, as a three-year-
old, in a handicap against all ages, and running the two
miles in 3:31.

President Gregory and Secretary Lagrave have their names
attached to the announcement of the third annual meeting
of the Amador and Sacramento Agricultural Society, com-
prising the 26th district. Mr. Gregory is an old-time horse-
man, and it goes without saying that the meeting will be a
grand success. In contradistinction to the majority of the
meetings, tbe one to be held at lone gives more purses for
the runners than they do for the trotters, so that it is likely
all the bang tails in the State will meet there August 6, 7, 8,
and 9. The entries close July 20th, and should be well
filled. _____

James Stinsnn, of Chicago, has purchased from Dan Mc-
Carty, the black four-year-old Linda (full sister to the great
Fleet, yearling record 2:36), by Sidney, dam Flirt, by Buc-
caneer. Linda trotted a quarter in 40 seconds when a year-
ling. Price ©5.000. Also thegray mare Maud Medium 47S2,
son of Happy Medium, for ©2000; the bay mare Mabel, by
Alexander 490, son of George M. Patchen, Jr., 31, dam by
Whipple's Hambletonian, for ©1,000; and a yearling bay
colt by Sidney, dam Miss Gift, by the thoroughbred stallion
Wildidle, for ©2,400. This youngster is in California, and
will probably be sent to Mr. Stinson's ranch in Washington
Territory.

It is many a long day since I visited the Willows, in Colusa
County, but the racing programme issued by the Willows
Agricultural Association thiB week recalls to my mind many
an happy hour spent with the genial sportsmen, who all
seem to thrive and do well in that city of the plains. It
seems but yesterday that the antelope were as plenty in
Colusa as jack-rabbits are now in Kern, and yet here is a full
programme offered to the horsemen of the State that would be
a credit to many a larger city. The entries close on August
1st, and it would be well for all owners of trotters, pacers and
ni oners to examine the announcement and then make entries
for the Willows meeting.

The winner of the French Derby, Clover, is by Welling-
tonia, a half brother to W. L. Scott's imported Rayon d' Or,
the sire of the famous French mare, Plaisanterie. He ran
once as a two-year-old and then was third for the Prix de
Villiers at the Paris autumn meetiDg. He did not run in any
of the spring three-year-old fixtures at the Paris spring meet-
ing, but was well backed for the Prix du Jockey Clnb in all
the early betting. He is not entered, however, for the Grand
Prix de Paris, to be run to-morrow (Sunday), for which,
however, his owner will probably start a full brother to
Plaisanterie.

From the most reliable authority comes the statement that
John E. Turner of Philadelphia, known on the trotting turf
as the "General," intends to give up driving and will devote
himself to the running turf. Some recent purchases of
thoroughbred yearlings were for him, and are now at Ambler
Park in his stable. Turner haB for many years ranked among
the first of drivers, and there is no one living who can claim
superiority over him either in the preparation of a hosre or
in the tactics of the race. He has, however, been notoriously
averse to obtaining records, and in the meeting at Fleetwood
he displayed this peculiarity strongly. His withdrawal from
the trotting turf is of much import. — New York Herald.

Darbin, who was imported in 1885, was a great and con-
sistent horse, though he is never given credit for one of his
greatest performances. He ran in mud during a pouring
rainstorm with 135 pounds up fourth to the Assyrian with
111. This waB done over the Melbourne cup course of two
miles, but although he ran a good fourth he is never given
credit for it, and he is always recorded as unplaced in a field
of twenty-two. In the judgment of many this performance
was only beaten by his Sidney gold cup win, when he carried
134 pounds to victory over 1\ miles, giving tbe second and
third hordes 30 and 20 pounds respectively, and the minimum
weight 47 pounds.

Mr. Geo. Leigh, of Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic,
shipped last week to his distant Southern home, the follow-
ing thoroughbreds from Lexington, Ky.:

Cossack, chestnut colt, 2 years old, by Casino, dam Cameo
by Camargo; bought of S. H. Boughman, Stanford, Ky.

Miss Bowler, bay mare, 5 years old, by Little Rnffin, dam
Hazel Eye by imp. Phaeton; bought of the J. B. Wilgus
estate.

Falls City, bay horse, 6 years old, by King Alfonso, dam
Grecian Bend by Lexington; bought of Mr. Tupp of Madi-
son, Wis.

Khadama, bay mare, 6 years olds, by Rhadainanthus, dam
Volante by Vandal; bought of the J. B. Wilgus estate.

Harlanton, buy colt, 2 years old, by Harry O'Fallon, dam
Credora by Strathmore; bought of W. R. Letcher, Richmond,
Ky.

Iacaniore, chestnut colt, 3 years old, by Ten Broeck, dam
Slipper hy Planet; bought of W. R, Letcher.

Loraine, bay filly, 2 years old, by Lisbon, dam Glenmary
by Glenelg; bought of W. R. Letcher. The Livestock Record
also says that Mr. Leigh shipped with them four coach mares
that be bought from parties in Illinois, and the trotting stal-
lion Billy C , 7 years old, by Flying Cloud; bought of W. H.
Jacobs, Madison, Wis.

The twelve head cost $12,000. If no accidents occur theBe
horses should reacb their destination in live weeks.

The famous three-year-old Galen is reported broken down.
Judging from the account we had of the accident he will
never be seen again on a track. As a two-year-old he was
something of a sensational animal, his most notable per-
formance, perhaps, being when he ran a close third in the
Coney Island Futurity. LaBt fall at Nashville the Chicago
stable purchased him from Jim Gray for ©10,000 cash, and
the investment proved a costly and disastrous one. Galen
started three times this spring, twice at Nashville and once
at Latonia, but he did not show to advantage, exhibiting
very decided quiting qualities, especially at Latonia. His
best performance was at Chicago last season, when he ran a
half mile in 48 seconds.

The latest quotations received from Cutler and Whitney
show but slight variation from last week. Thejr are as fol-
lows: 4 to 1 against Spokane, 5 to 1 Proctor Knott, 7 to 1
Sorrento, 8 to 1 Don Jose, 15 to 1 each Sam Wood, Flood
Tide and Once Again, 15 to 1 each Salvator, Come to Taw
and French Park, 25 to 1 each Galen, Kasson, Heron, Boot-
maker Retrieve, Blue Rock and Sportsman, 30 to 1 each
Ganymede, Fresno, The Lioness and Philip D., and 35 to
100 to 1 the others. For the Suburban Handicap the same
firm otters 5 to 1 againBt Prince Royal, 4 to 1 Terra Cotta,
7 to 1 each Badge and Raceland, 12 to 1 Inspector B., 15 to
1 each Haoover, Gorgo, Montrose, Gallifet and Belvidere, 20
to 1 each Eurus, Elkwood and Filz James, and from 25 to
150 to 1 the others.

One week from to-day tbe entries will close for the July
meeting at Eureka, and from present prospects there will be
a large congregation of horsemen from all over the State.
Already several stables have been shipped up, including
Kelly & Samuels, Hazlitt &, Davis, Stover, and on Wednesday
last Dan Dennison took up Dave Douglas, G. \V\, Rettie B.
and others. The officers of the new association are working
like beavers, and it will be no fault of theirs if the affair is
not a success in every respect. A glance at the programme
will show that there has never been such liberal purses
offered in the State outside of San FranciBco, and thiB will
have great weight with owners, for they will go where large
inducements are offered. Eureka will be in holiday attire
for the meeting, and as the only Fourth of July exercises
held in the country are to be at Eureka, the outside popula-
tion are likely to make the county seat their headquarters for
that week at least, and this will insure large attendance at
races. Now remember, all entries close next Saturday, so
send in your entries at once, or you may forget to do so until
it is too late.

Messrs. Killip & Co. held a very fair sale of shorthorn
cattle at the Bay District Track last Tuesday. The prices
were not big, but considering the class of cattle and their
general appearance they brought as much as they were
worth, for had it not been for their pedigrees quite a number
of them would never have been suspected of being near a
shorthorn. The bolls sold well, especially the youngsters.
The old bull, Grand Prince of Baden, would have sold much
better had he not seemed very rheumatic and stiff behind.
Messrs. Hill and Newhall bought nearly all the cattle, and
after the sale Mr. Hill arranged with Mr. Newhall so that the
latter took both lots, and they were consequently shipped to
the Santa Margnerita Ranch, there not being enough to Bhip
to the lower countrv alone, and Dan Murphy, Jr., for whom
Mr. Hill was buying, was not very sweet on the bargain. The
geldings were a mixed lot, and were returned unsold. The
mares sold well, Mr. Hill taking three. It seemed rather
singular, though, to breed two daughters of Suffolk Prince
back to him. Possibly the owner being associated with
shorthorns so long may account for the seeming eccentricity.

The "Tallyrand of the trotting turf," Orrin a Hk-kok, has
twenty head of horses in his string at the Bay District track,
and it is not only Stamboul that he is preparing, but many
others whom it is to be hoped will make low marks before
long. Early in the week Mr. Hickok sent Alfred S a full
mile in 2:20, and this son of Elmo has not got to his lowest
mark yet, for he trotted the last quarter in 33 seconds. His
favirite two-year-old, Peep O'Day, which he owns in partner-
ship with Wilfred Page of Sonoma County, is an improving
colt, and even this early in the season is corapletine full
miles in 2:40. Peep O'Day is by Dnwn, 2:191, dam Emma
Stites, a mare of great individual merit, but whose pedigree is
unknown. If the young chestnut colt can enter the charmed
circle, it will entitle his dam to registry, and at the same time
make standard two others of her progeny. Dr. Proctor, of
Petalama, has had a four-year-old chestnut mare in tiaining,
but acting on the advice of Mr. Hickok, has taken her home,
as the front feet are slightly contracted; expanders have been
placed in the hoof, and the mare will be turned out, in hopes
that next season herfeet will be in bettershape. Mr. Hickok
also informs me that under no consideration will ho start
Stamboul in a field of horses, but he is willing to trot him
against any other one horse that may be pitted against him.
Mr. Hobert, the owner of Stamboul, left explicit orders to
this effect prior to starting for Europe two weeks ago, and of
course Mr. Hickok feels that he cannot act otherwise.

One of tbe most important thoroughbred sales of the seas-
on will take place at Washington Park, Chicago, 111., on
Friday, June 21st. The bale is under the management of B.
G. Bruce and P. C. Kidd. and thirty-one yearlings will be
sold. The first on the list is a chestnut colt by George Kin-
ney, dam Arizona, by Lexington. By all the laws of breed-
ing, this colt should be a racehorse. George K-nuey was a
grand performer, and one of the best colts that ever ap-
peared on the turf. Arizona was the dam of Aranza, Glen-
arm, Amerioueand other good oneB. A bay colt by Aretino,
dam Kennebec, by imp Glengarry, should attract attention.
Aretino is by Aramis, out of Sprightly, by Lexington. Spright-
ly \\&& the dam of Volturno, Elias Lawrence and otber win-
ners. The third on the list is a colt by imp. Glengary. dam
Pearlash, by Pat Malloy, etc. Glengarry has shown bis abil-
ity to sire such fast ones as Stuyveaant. Greenland, Kirk-
man and Fletch Taylor. A bay colt by Forester, dam Azelea,
by King Alfonso, has a very strong pedigree. Forrester is
by The IU-Used, while tbe dam of Azelea was by Lexington,
and her dam was by imp. Glencoe. A filly by Forester,
out of Albatross, by imp. Glengary, has superb winning
blood in her veins. AlbatroSB ia a sister to Amerique. and
her dam is Arizona, by Lexington. The admirers of Luke
Blackburn will be in attendance to bid on a filly by that sire,
out of Amerique, by imp. Glengarry; second dam Arizona,
by Lexington. These are fair samples of the class of young-
sters which will be offered, and it need not be staled that
they are first-class. A glauce at the catalogue shows in ad-
dition to the above foals by imp. Mr. Pickwick, Brambl .
Glengarry, Luke Blackburn. BlazeB, Bertram, Bocaccio
Vanguard. Send for a catalogue.

THE GOT,

An invitation in the following form was received on Mon-
day last:

Grass Valley Sportsman s Club.
Grass Valley, Jane 7, 1SS9.

Dear Sir: Toar presence is cordially requested at the
annual Dove Hunt and Camp Stew of the GrasB Valley
Sportsman's Club, that will take place on Saturday, June
15, 18S9, at the camp ground on the ranch of Theo. F. Van
Slyke, near Indian SpringB.

Come and partake ot our hospitality.

George Fletcher, President.

The casual reader would see nothing incendiary or nihil-
istic in the invitation, hut to the initiated the seemingly
hospitable invite is as deadly as can be. It means a smooth
outward seemiDg of politeneBB, but inwardly a mess of camp-
stew, cocktails, Fletcher's bad jokes, boiled owl, and other
horrible things too numerous to mention. The meetings of
the Grass Valley Club have become famous, and the one to
come will probably mount to heights unknown heretofore.

THE KENNEL.

Doe ownerB are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, In all Instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Mr. F. A. Mann, of this city, offei for sale a fine imported
Gordon setter which won second in the open class at the Sun
Francisco show of 1388. The dog is it Mr. De Mott's kennel,
near San Rafael. Is in good condition, and a bargain at the
price asked.

Mr. Vredenburgh, Secretary of the American Kennel Clnb
and a most efficient officer, would never suspect that he had
furnished us with an advance report of the last meeting of
the A. K. C. if he relied upon the name appended to the
report as it appeared last week. Kennel readers, of course,
knew that a bit of careless proof-reading had been done, and
an apology is now offered to the popular Secretary. The A.
K. C. is moving on grandly, and the credit is due, in large
measure, to Mr. Vredenburgb.

Our contemporary, the San Francisco Sporting Life, is
sadly astray in its kennel notes. They appear to be done
by some one who desires to placate men rather than to fur-
nish news about dogs. The paper is excellent in other re-
spects, but would do well to let alone, fields in which it is
likely to be absurd, as in its kennel matter of the iBsne of
June Sth.

The noted greyhound Misterton is dead. He won the
Waterloo Cup in 1879, and has sioce been a fashionable sire,
having earned over $4,000 for his owner.

Entries to the Los Angeles Bench Show are announced to
June 17th. Some seven or eight dogs owned in San Fran-
cisco have already been entered, and the number should be
largely increased. Mr, H. H. Briggs, of this city, will judge
all classes.

One day last week was spent in visiting Mr. DeMott's train-
ing and boarding kennels near San Rafael. Some thirty-five
dogs are now there, and they all seemed clean, lively and
■well. The place is well cared for, all dirt removed several
times daily, and whitewash and disinfectants freely used.

Mr. Frank Clark writes from Fort Bragg to learn where he
can secure an Irish setter puppy. Either Mr. J. C. Nattrass
of Seattle, who advertises elsewhere in this paper, or Mr. A.
B. Truman of 1-425 Steiner Street, City, whose caTd usually
appears in this paper, can supply well-bred Irish reds.

Mr. M. P. McKoon, of El Cajon, San Diego County, adver-
tises cocker Spaniel puppies of pure breeding. He has sup-
plied many local fanciers, and the dogs have given satisfac-
tion in most instances. Intending purchasers will do well to
secure his terms aDd deacriptions of his dogs.

If those who won either regular or special prizes would
call and get them, or if they so desire send word to the Sec-
retary to place the amount won to the credit of the Kennel
Club they would oblige Secretary Watson. Some of those
■who won money have refused to receive it and have requested
that it be applied to reducing the indebtedness left alter the
show.

With reference to a recent note of ours about the pointer
Old Black Joe, the London Shooting Times remarks: "Now
we personally know Mr. Pape, and will answer for it that he
is incapable of a dirty action. He is an enthusiastic man,
and a fiery controversialist, but, withal, as straight as a dart.
He, however, we understand, has not been in very good
health of late. Howbeit, we will draw his attention to the
matter, and doubtless he will set it right."

The pointer and setter fanciers of the city have been taken
by storm this week, the conqueror being Mr. C. M. Munhall,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who has been making a flying visit to
California. Mr. Munhall iB known everywhere as the main-
stay of kennel interests at his home, and also as the breeder
of many very tine pointers, notably champion Patti M., the
bitch which was burned to death at Columbus not long ago.
Mr. Munhall is the beau ideal of the bright, keen, well posted
dog fancier, and has entertained his new friends with an
endless lot of good stories about many noted Eastern fanciers.
He 1b now in Los Angeles, where he will remain for a week
or more. While here he visited the Elcho Kennels, and
examined Patti Croxteth T., the result being an offer of a
round sum for her, which was refused by Mr. Truman.

The success of the Carl R. — Bessie dogs at the recent
show should incite ownera to utilize the services of that dog
at every available opportunity. For rive yeaiB we have
urged his use, and at great personal inconvenience and con-
siderable outlay have established colonies of dogB sired by
him at different places, because we have felt that some day
local fancierB would awake to the need of the Leicester —
Dart cross. If every owner of a really good grade Laverack
or Llewelliu bitch would stint her to Carl R , there might
from the the lot result a few superior dogs which for stud
purposes would soon become invaluable. The Carl R. —
Bessi6 dogs, beside showing the highest finish and richest
colors and markings, are thoroughly good in the field, and
it is unfortunate that Borne of them have not been put into
the field trials.

The Executive Committee of the Pacific Kennel Club has
not yet reaohed an ultimate conclusion about the loss inci-
dent to the last show. President Wilson has been out of
the city and until he returnB there will not be a formal meet-
ing of the committee.

pies by Capt. Stubbs, 5964, A. K. S. B.— Vixie, 13,193, A. K.

Mr. Graham's Comments on California Dogs.

By permission of Mr. Graham we present in his own words
his ideas about the dogs presented to him for judgment at
the P. K. C. show. The comments attest the close observa-
tions made by the judge, and are so moderate as to give them
much weight. He writes:

The pavilion is one of the best buildings for holding a
bench Bhow I have 6een, with ample room to accommodate
2,000 dogs. The arrangements are everything that could be
wished for, and all the members of the club seemed to work
with an interest for the success of the undertaking. It was
one of the cleanest dog shows I have ever seen. With refer-
ence to the dogs, speaking generally, the sporting dogs were
good, while the non-sporting dogs were not up to what we
see at English shows. Dandie Dinmonts, Scotch terriers,
bloodhounds and bulldogs were conspicuous by their ab-
sence.

The first class brought into the ring was mastiff dogs. The
winner, Dick, is a good upstanding dog with good feet and
legB, but is plain in head. Noble, second prize, is small, has
a short face, yellow eye and badly carried ears. Third prize
went to another dog called Noble, a large dog, bat with no
mastiff character, There was only one entry in bitches,
ActreBB, a good sized animal with good feet, legs and body.
This bitch, if possessed of more wrinkle, would be difficult
to beat in any company. In dog puppies, first prize, Tim, is
a good, promising young dog — short in face, of good size,
good feet and legs, wants wrinkle and character; his color of
head was deficient. Bitch puppies were a poor lot. GypBy
arrived too late for competition. She is too large in ears, but
she is good in head, good in wrinkle and body, and a very
typical young bitch. She would certainly have won had she
been in time to be shown.

St. Bernards were a very indifferent lot. I only awarded
second prize in the open dog class to a very nice coated and
colored animal, but of small size. He was a long way the
best of anything in the class.

Newfoundlands had only two entries and the prizes were
withheld. Second prize was awarded to a moderate young
black Newfoundland puppy, Mr. Schule's Nero.

In Great Danes first went to Csesar, a good blue dog, not
so large as some I have seen. Second to Dora, a good medi-
um-sized brindle bitch. Lea, third prize, good in size, body,
feet and legs, but too weak in muzzle.

Only one deerhound was brought into the ring. I under-
stand one turned up afterward too late to be shown. Ossean
was given second prize, he is a very moderate animal, shown
in bad condition and walking very stiff. The first prize
puppy Vaughn is a nice puppy wanting in size and bone. Q

Greyhounds were a good collection and competition was
keen. The winner, a black and white perhaps not so good
in n^ck as the Becond, but much the best in quarters with
grand well bent stifles. Second went to white not so good
in stifles but a dog possessing a great deal of quality. Mon-
arch, third, is of the same type and color as the second, but
not so fine in neck and 6houl3ers. Benelon II., another
white, is a good dog more loaded in shoulders than those
placed over him. In bitches Jennie June, a black, is a very
level made animal showing quality all through, she would
be better if possessed of more bone. Brunette, second, is
another black, she pressed the winner very closely. In dcg
puppies Chronicle, first, is a level, true, well-proportioned
young dog, perhaps too light in bone. Examiner, second, is
the same stamp as the winner, but moved with his elbows
turned io. Rake, placed third, is a stronger dog than the
winner, but not so fine in Bhoulders. In bitch puppies Menlo
Maid first, is a brindle in good condition. Second went to a
black and white very much out of condition.

No English foxhounds were shown. In American fox-
hounds first went to Roy. He possesses good feet and legs,
good long folding eaTe with good wrinkle; he is a trifle short
in face. Nip, Becond, is a strong, powerful dog, broader in
head than the winner, with no wrinkle and ears not so long,
la bitches, Echo, a very handsome black and tan with long,
lean head, good peak, plenty of leather in her ears, good feet
and legs, with the best of long, sloping shoulders, possessing
at the same time bone and &ubstonce. Kate, second prize,
is the same stamp as the winner only not so good in feet and
legs. Fleet, third prize, has bad feet and legs, is of small
size and out at elbows. Puppies had only one entry, Elsie,
a good specimen of the same stamp as the first and second
bitches.

Pointers were a very good collection. Pat P., lemon and
white, has good feet and legs, beautiful neck and shoulders,
with good body well ribbed up, but was Bhown a little out
of condition. Professor, second, a liver and white, is a good
mover, with good bone and quarters, and is typical, but not
quite bo good in neck and shoulders as the winner. Dick II.
and Rush T. are larger than those placed over them, and do
not possess the general quality of the winners. In bitches
over 50 lbs. first went to Blossom, a lemon and white of good
character, with good head and earB, neck, shoulders, feet
and legs; in fact, a very handsome animal, perhups the
best pointer in the show. Donna Sensation, second, is
another of the same type, not quite so good in head as Blos-
som, but yet an animal of more than usual quality. Manza-
nita is a good bitch, but considerably behind the winners. In
small dogs, first went to a liver and white, V'ade Hampton.
He has a good head, is full of character, aod is good in feet
and legs. He might be better ribbed up, and is rather leggy.
Matchless and Climax, both small liver and white dogs, are
good in body, but short in head, the latter being rather dark
in color of nose for a lemon and white. Patti Croxteth T.,
the winner in the next class, a very typioal liver and white,
with good head, feet and legs, and with plenty of bone,
might be better in shoulders. Cora and Wanda, both liver
and white, are not so good in bone as the winner. Ponto,
the winning dog puppy, is a level-made, well-matured puppy.
Rob T. and Tennis are good liver and whites, and both
likely to furnish into dogr. of considerable merit, and will no
doubt render a good account of themselves next year. In
bitch puppies, Manzanita, first, won third in open bitches.
She wants character in head, but possesses good feet, legs

and body. Donna Blanca is leggy, rather light in bone, and
carries her tail too high.

In English setter dogs the winner, Rover H., is a grand,
level-made dog with good feet and legs, well ribbed up, and
his head is good and typical; he might be better in tail.
Bruiser and Rector are both good typical dogs; shown thin,
owing to which they appeared fiat-sided and deficient in
body beside the winner. In bitches Florine, the winner, is
a very handsome animal; I would prefer her a size larger.
She is a very truly formed animal and possesses quality and
moves well. Beezy is a long way behind the winner. Ophelia
is a stroDg, typical animal with a bad carriage of tail. The
winning puppies, Peerless and Gypsy Queen, possessed con-
siderable quality, but are rather light in bone and short of
feather.

In Irish setter dogs first went to Mike T., a good; strong-
bodied dog, good in coat, full dark enough in color and plain
in head. Sport and Grouse are fine upstanding doge, but
leggy and light in bone compared with the winner. In
bitches Lady Elcho T.. the winner, is a large fine bitch,
possessing quality all through, good color and coat. Taken
altogether she is an animal fit for any company. She won
the special for the best setter iu the show, being closely
pressed by the English setter bitch Florine. Lena I., Becond
prize winner, is a fair animal, a long way behind the winner.
In dog puppies Dash T , the winner, is a good dog, but
coarBe. There was nothing striking in bitch puppies.

Black and tan setters were poor. Second prize went to
Dorr, the remains of a good type of Gordon setter. The
Irish water Bpaniel bitch Nora P. won first with no opposi-
tion. A good specimen not in the best of coat.

In cocker dogs first went to Giffie, a nice little black with
a wavy coat and tail too high. Woodstock Belle is a nice ty-
pical cocker bitch, better in coat and tail than the winner in
the dog class. In cocker puppies the winner Badge is a
moderate liver, and likely to be oversized and leggy.

Retrievers and collies were very indifferent.

In beagles B»nnerman, Jr., looks old and worn. He is
hollow behind the shoulder, and a bad mover. Daisy II. is
a nice little bitch of correct type; perhaps, just leggy enough.

No bulldogs were shown, and the bull-terriers were a very
poor collection; none possessed any merit for the Bhow
bench.

The fox-terrier dog Tromp, placed first, is a very good
specimen; good feet and legs, good style and good colt, a lit-
tle full in eye. Second prize, Regent Jock, is a wonderfully
compact, well made dog, too long and soft in coat. Schneider,
third prize, is also a good stamp, fall in eye, dropped below
eye and light in hone. Golden Gem, iirst in bitches, is
above ordinary merit and fit for keen competition.

Black and tan terriers were a very indifferent lot. Only
one Airedale was shown, Mr. Kingsley*s Nip, a very good
specimen fit to be shown successfully in any company.
Skyes were poor, and the same remark applies to pugs,
Yorkshires, poodles and the remaining classes.

The Airedale Terrier-

The Airedale terrier shown recently by Mr. C. H. Kings-
ley was pronounced a good specimen by Mr. Graham, and
students may be interested in reading what a correspondent
of the London Stock Keeper has to say of the breed. • He
writes: —

But for the exertions of a few enthusiasts this grand breed
of terriers would have still been in comparative obscurity in
the Yorkshire dales to which he is indigenous. The origin
of the breed is somewhat obscure; it is, however, certain that
the old English black-and-tan and wire-haired terrier and the
otterhound have both bad a share in his composition; in
some strains, too, no doubt, there exists some trace of bull,
probably through the bull and terrier or fighting dog of
olden times. It was but a few years ago that nearly every
Airedale shown exhibited a considerable dash of '"hound" in
hiB ear, topknot, or coat, and e\en now, when bred from the
best show specimens, the pendulous round-tipped ear crops
up. The efforts of several fanciers, at the head of which the
Dames of Messrs. W. Tatham. A. Walker, C. Hopwood, T.
Kirby, P. Horn, Jas. Taylor, L. P. C. Astley, and one or two
others who by dint of skillful breeding operations, judicious
purchases, and by the aid of the pen, have brought this
breed into prominence, and, let it be added, a most deserved
notoriety, for no one-dog-man can find the Airedale's equal
for "all-round" properties. An efficient and powerful guard
to person or property, this Yorkshire-bred dog recommends
himself strongly as a companion. With a nose second to
none, with great dash and courage, and a thorough aptitude
for the work of the sportsman, he is also a tit and proper
companion for the gun. As a house dog he is not too large,
is clean, and fit to follow any lady or gentleman, nor is his
temperament quarrelsome.

As far as symmetry goes, it would be difficult to find a
handsomer dog. His color, hard crisp coat, grand expres-
sion, and style when either walking or galloping, makes him
an agreeable outdoor companion, either afoot, or when driv-
ing or riding, and his general utility is by no means lessened
by the fact of his being able to pick up a stray rabbit occa-
sionally when he accompanies his master on a country
ramble. It is a decided step in the right direction that the
fancy has lately taken to breeding a smaller-sized dog in this
breed. There is no doubt but that, the larger the dog is, the
more frequent are the signs he shows of "hound." We have
heard it argued by some people that, as the dog is meant for
hard, rough work, size is an advantage when once the limits
of a terrier's size are passed. On this point, however, we
entirely disagree. The Airedale's vocation is, perhaps,
altered 6ince he became a show bench favorite. Originally
bred for water side hunting, aDd such kindred sports as the
weavers of the valleys of the Aire, the Whnne, and the Calder
and the banks of these rivers and their tributaries, could
afford and easily reach, it really did not matter about the
"looks" of a dog able to do his owner's behest in these par-
ticulars; and the specimens of the breed some years ago,
even at such shows as Otley aodUBingley, were very different
to what we lind representing it nowadays, even atplaceB far
remote from the native worlds and valleys of the Shire of
Broadacres. Even at tbe last Bingley Show one of these old-
fashioned "sort" turned up, the old fancier to whom he
belonged being quite indignant at his dog's early dismissal,
and left the ring ejaculating, "He's the best 'uu here."

To all lovers of the beautiful and symmetric*), the change
from the thick headed and soft-coated big-eared un-terrier
like dog of former days to the neaf and trimly built, close
and hard coated, small, thin-eared specimen of to-day must
be a matter of congratulation. We have heard it argued that
it is ridiculous to call these dogs terriers, and perhaps it is*
but at the same time the terrier character, eye, and expres-
sion, which is such a distinguishing characteristic of the
whole race, entitles them to the term, and as it would be
the greatest possible misfortune that could happen to this
beautiful breed of dogs if that particular oharacter were to ba
lost, we hope the nurne will always remain the same.

Inside Views of Field Trials.

Not every man who attends a field trial has had sufficient
experience to enable him to see all the good that results from
their maintenance, and some of the most persistent attend-
ants are most at sea when they attempt either to describe
what they have seen or to analize the merits of the various
competing dogs. Of those who »an and do see clearly through
field trial work one of the sharpest is an English writer who
attended the National trials run-off at Shrewsbury.

Field trials are indeed "a sport" in themselves, and a right
royal sport, too, to the trie lover of sporting dogs, he says,
and adds: I can imagine nothing in its line more interesting;
bnt il ia far more than that, for, to anyone who has studied the
gradual changes that have been creeping over shooting in the
open during the last twenty-five years, it is most lucidly appar-
ent that it is to field trials alone that we owe the perpetuation
and the breaking of the pointer and setter bieed.

Some, I know, think and say that trials have done harm
instead of good, simply because the winners have not been in
their eyes the dogs they would care to shoot over. This view
is in my ODiuion, a very mistaken as well aB a narrow-minded
one.

The use of trials to each individual sportsman is to give
him an opportunity, which otherwise he could not have, of
seeing and judging for himself of the merits and demerits of
every strain worth thinking about at all. I should entirely
repudiate the childish idea of forming your own opinion by
that of the judges, however good these may be. To do this
would be to lead oneself into all sorts of incongruities and
absurdities, and my reasons for this assertion are: First,
there are probably, at this epoch of the world, not half a
dozen men in England who possess an eye quick and correct
enough to spot unfailingly the best all round animal that
performs before them. Such an eye, in my opinion, to begin
with, nascitur non Jit; at least it must be, first of all, a gift,
and then it must be a faculty constantly and unfailingly
educated and improved by daily experience and practice.
Then, again, supposing a good judge does spot what is un-
doubtedly, in his opinion, the best animal in nose and style,
etc., perchance the breaking or working is deficient, and then
he is positively obliged to disregard the more important
thin°s, and to allow one dog to beat another that he knows
is worth a hundred of him.

Again, the best dog may have real genuine bad, and the
inferior one really good, luck. What can you do then? You
cannot go on trying forever; you must give the prize to the
lucky duffer.

Again, the very best dog may be an ugly, low-bred brute,
that you would not have in your kennel. I know the idea
occurred to me more than once at Newport, "Suppose I were
to bring a thoroughbred colley and enter him as a Better, and
he were to beat all the field, would he win?" I do not see

whv not.

Now, the spectator is in no difficulty of this sort. He
takes the Bat of the judges for what it is worth to his experi-
ence knowing full well the insurmountable difficulties that
beset them, and therefore not cavilling at or blamiDg their
decisions, but taking a totally different line, for good and
sufficient reasons of hiB own.

In this manner he has an opportunity of discovering
animals that may prove of great value to him, and, more
than this, he has also the chance (and every man needs it)
of comparing his own dogs with what he sees in public, and
thereby forming a reliable opinion as to their improvement or
decadence.

The first thing that struck one at Newport was the tremen-
dous deterioration of the breed of setters.

Little, weedy, prick-eared, rough, and even cnrly-coated
brutes! ' What have people been doing during the last ten
years to get down to that?

Are these the sort of dogs that now-a-days win prizes at
shows? or are the bench winners too valuable to come out of
a hothouse to exhibit their instincts (i. e.t if they have any
left at all) ?

It is not really difficult to account for this falling off; at
leaBt not to any one who is at all conversant with the mys-
teries of breeding. The setter world in general has been
breeding utterly careless of the principle of selection. Laver-
acks as they called them, were the sine qua non. If a dog
was called a Laverack, that was enough; they did not look
at his shape or make, or snch minor things as that, but they
would put a bitch to it at once, that bitch, perhaps, being
even more faulty than himself. Hinc Mae lachrymal.

The oDly dogs on the field anyway at all up to the quon-
dam setter were the beautiful brace of bitches which won the
Brace Stakes. .

Of course it is not altogether fair to come to so sweeping
an opiDion with only the evidence of the Newport entries
before one; but most surely, if there are no setters better
looking than those said entries, then must Mr. Purcell
Llewellin be the only possessor at present in England of the
true setter type. If this is so, it is very serious, for everyone
knows that the use of his doge cannot be obtained; and,
without some oross, the present breed must get worse and
worse as time goes on.

The secret of Mr. Llewellin's success is, of course, an open
one There was the wonderful luck of the first cross between
the "best selected Laverack?, bought at fabulous prices, and
the famous Duke blood; and then, and since, it has simply
been a matter of the most capful and scientific breeding,
every animal the least faulty being drafted, and nothing but
positive perfection, both in sire and dam, being even toler-
ated. Still, I must say, I do not think that even this kennel
is up to what it was say ten years Bince.

The pointers, to my eye. looked far and away above the
setters in appearance. I do not profess to be a good judge
of them and I have, therefore, s-me hesitation in pronounc-
ing a good many to be heavy, houndy brutes, and the class
altogether not by any means up to the old form, though still
far better than the setters. , . , an.

The next thino I remarked was the judges; and these were
a subiect of most unqualified admiration to me, from begin-
ning to end The way in which they laid themselves out
with all their hearts to do their work conscientiously, and
that amid great difficulties, was Bimply beyond praise The
almost total absence of method in beating the ground, the
quality of a great part of that ground, which, though swarm-
in» with game, was miserably bare grass wuhout a particle of
lvfne and every field crossed by the lines of hares innumer-
able and last, but not least, the miserably inferior animals
tbaUbey had to watch all day long, most have been a mighty
trial of oatience and temper, and would have pretty well
made excusable some distraotion of attention, and some cur-
tailment of divers trials. There was nothing of either; and
the patience and care sometimes bestowed on curs that

should never have been entered, in order to see whether they
could not discover some faint shade of tolerability in them,
was simply marvellous. Their decisions, on the whole, were,
in my opinion, beyond dispute, though in several cases, for
some such reasons as given above, they could not possibly
put the best animal first. As an instanoe, I do not Boppose
anyone who knows anything could for a moment doubt the
very great superiority of Coquet over Daisy, and yet the
latter was fairly, justly, and unmistakeably the winner of the
heat. Of course every dog-judge knew why — but the why
conld not affect the deoision.

Now take the working in general, and first the puppies.
Did any one ever see such rambling, straggling work, and
such breaking? The haree were most trying to puppies, of
course; but the backing! there was hardly a puppy of the
lot that was not wholly innocent of such a proceeding. It
seemed to me as if the breakers had entirely neglected thu
part of their education.

I know it is a common thing, but a very mistaken idea,
all the same, to break a puppy for a trial virtually single-
handed — i. e., to work him with a slower dog than himself,
so that he may (as his master thinks) get all the points and
not want to back at all. Such an idea is not only based on
an utterly false foundation, but it is really and truly a species
of "jockeying," and, as such, indefensible.

I could not help wondering that the jadges did not at
once put out dogs which persistently refused to back. If
they had done so, the winners, in many cases, would have
been called by different names. The winner in the Setter
Puppy Class, for instance!

Perhaps this fault in breaking came out the most clearly
in the braces, which would certainly have been an eye-opener
to anyone who had not seen through the previous perform-
ances. These braces were, of course, supposed to consist of
perfect and well-matched dogs. Still, even the time-hon-
ored name of Brailsford could not produce any one dog work
throughout, and that in the style of a Clumber spaniel. Here
also Daisy's tactics came out in somewhat strong relief, spoil-
ing the chance of both herself and partner. Daisy seemed to
me a bitch of good pace and very pretty style; her tactics
throughout were a rush to the front and to point at once,
usually, I thought, at nothing, or perhaps, more correctly
speaking, at stale scent. A long draw on would occasionally
produce a bird or so, but whether these were the original
cause of the point, who could tell, with such a wealth of
bird about? Anyhow, whether there wa3 something or noth-
ing, the point secured her an abnormally long start, and then
it was a case of ditto, ditto.

It is a pity that her breaker doee not endeavor to correct
this tendency, as it spoils what would otherwise, in spite of
the mean, unsetterlike stamp of the animal, be a very charm-
ing goer, and vastly haudicips any chance she would have
of winning a brace stake. I couli not help longing to see
one of the terrific goers of years ago put down with this
bitch. Snch a dog would have passed her as if Btanding
still, and she would fain have had to be content with second
fiddle, fal-se or true, and not much chance of that. The
judges, I opine, found her out by the time that she ran with
Woolton Game, so had their eyes wide open to condemn her
treatment of her own partner, poor honest Brave Rock.

The Llewellin puppies were very disappointing. Of
course, they were very young, but had they not been worked
stale they would have made a somewhat different record. The
black and white was fairly beaten by Ranger, who went in
good form, and was much better handled. But no living
soul that I spoke to, and certainly not myself, eould form
the faintest idea what was in the mind of the judges that
made them Bhelve Satin, whose performances were most un-
doubtedly the mDst perfect of any puppy that ran — indeed,
as far as I saw, absolutely faultless. There must have been
a 'bee in their bonnet" here, somehow.

It was pleasant to see a gentleman, ir the person of Mr.
Lowe, working — and winning, too — with his own dogs as
well as his friend's. If he would only keep his whistle in
his pocket, and manage to attain to confidence in his dogs,
he would beat any dog- worker present at Newport. What a
pity it is that gentlemen cannot see their way to working
their own dogs. More, it cannot surely be infra dig, more
than riding a steeplechase, and if the fashion were only
once adopted we should not only have a very far higher
tone at trials, but we should have science greater and more
real. We should have some tricks banished that are very
nauseous to look at, and, above all, there would be a dawn
of hope, which would amount almost to a certainty, that their
dogs would not, as is now too generally the case, be kept
for trials only. Ah! I should like to live to see that day.
What a curious thing that "one dog work" in the braces
was. It was most marked in all except the winners, and in
the very unfortunate Moor and Mast combination.

I verily believe myself, that the breaker of these two
pointers was the only man on the ground that had the faint-
est idea of properly working a brace of dogs, and yet look at
his luck. The Field says they were put down in a "lovely
field." 1 suppose it means that the field looked pretty with
the sun on it, for it was a grass field, as bare as your hand
and full of hares, past, present and future. Thence to a
field of springing barley, and then to a long range of bare,
seedy meadows, the abode of hares and moor-hens.

Nobody could help it, as it happened, for there was no-
where else to go, but it was most terribly haTd lines, and I
believe most fully that the dogs in question would have
beaten the second prize winners; anyhow, their worker
would, if they conld only have had one good field of seeds.
This brings to my mind a thing that seemed to me very
curious, viz., that in an important affair of this sort, some
sort of organizition is not brought to bear on the manner in
which the ground is to be beaten. Nobody seemed to know
anything whatever about it, except, perhaps, a little on the
first day, when the "knowledgeable one" happened to be
a somewhat important competitor. Now, I don't mean the
slightest insinuation against the said competitor, and I do
not believe he would do anything that was not strictly horor-
able; but then there is a tremendous difference in fields, and
surely any occasion should be avoided which might cause
the "enemy to blaspheme." I know I would not myself, on
any imaginable condition, undertake the office of "bossing"
the judges if I were a competitor, for I should know that I
must either choose the very worst ground for myself, or
incur the imputation of taking the best. A cleaver man who
kDew the country might make a plan of the estate in a pocket
b ok a day or two before, and take the judges easily from
field to field without the loss of time and of strength that
was uselessly pitched away last week.

To return to the dogs for a moment, it was a very pretty
sight, the prettiest in the trials, to see Coquet and Belle win
the braces. A clumsy start was made, but the lovely little
bitches soon got over it, and taking each her own beat in
proper style, ran, both in pointing and backing, an abso-
lutely faultless course.

By the way, I had nearly forgotten one thing which struck
me, perhaps more forcibly than anything else. How often

we saw birds rise at once to a point; and yet people said,
"What a good point!" and "How wild the birds are!"

Bosh! the birds were not wild; and it was a very bad
noiot! The fact is, in order to sustain the reputation for
"telescopic" noses, which a few dogs attune! some years
back, osmbined with instant brilliant turns and points, our
breakers allow their puppies to get close to their game before
standing, and, therefore, they virtually flush it every time.
If these dogs were to be employed for shooting, they would
be useless.

If I were a judge, I confess I would note a point of that
sort, unless made by a dog going down wind, and suddenly
turning on scent, as a flush, and nothing else. The old he-
roes and heroines of former times would be going forty miles
an hour, and saddenly pull up with a force that shook the
earth, and a beautiful sight to see! Yes! but the birds were
a hundred yards off, and that is the difference.

You have got to breed something different before you nee
that sort of thing again. These prick-eared, tough-haired
curs can smell somewhere about as far as the sheep dog, that
is not, in many cases, in my opinion, wholly innocent of
their existenee.

Again, I have heard hard things rash and bitter said about
what is called "creeping." Nobody hates a pottering dog
more than I do, but I love and honor an animal which, when
the almost infallible instinct of pure, high-bred blood telle
him that scent is bad or ground is dangerous, will crawl and
creep and give you your shot. I have seen many a dog like
that, and I know some now, and who would not rather have
them, both in or out of trials, than the star-gazing, gallop-
ing, fluttering fool that goes the same pace everywhere, which
is generally about ten mileB faster than his nose, and makes
beautiful sensational points at a bird a foot from him?

Another thing beems to be lost — the galloping across hare
foil without noticing it. It seemed to be a deal more like
draw, draw, poke, poke on the line for half a mile. There
is the sheepdog element got in again somehow.

P.OD.

Shall We Have Striped Baas?

The interrogatory is simple enough. The satisfactory
response to it rests mainly with the Fish Commission — to
arrange for the procurement of the eggs and their placement
in the hatcheries, to the promise or the assnrement of the
game and very oVsirable species of food fish. The striped
bass is one of the gamest of fish which swims in the sea and
in brackish waters — estuaries, rivers and bights. It is a
voracious, fish, and is good from the size of foor pounds up
to fifty or sixty pounds, aud occasionally has been taken in
seines up to nearly seventy pounds weight. Its meat — if
the term will apply — is white and of fine flavor, firm, and of
srrooth grain. It is a handsome fish in form and outward
appearane — something between the salmon and the pike; not
so deep, through, as the salmon or the shad, but as broad as
either, and without the spike form of the pike in its symme-
try ot proportions. The longitudinal stripes upon its glisten-
ing sides reveal at once the propriety of the nomenclature. A
peculiarity of the striped bass is its enormous throat in com-
parison with other food fish. It is somewhat to its prejudice
that it is what may be called cannibalistic in its appetite, and
a bolter in appeasing it. Striped bass have been taken of ten
pounds weight with a young bass of one pound weight,
unmasticated, inside them. Hud the story of Jonah been in
connection with a huge striped bass, there would be fewer
doubters among any who know of what prodigies in swallow-
ing living creatures whole the striped bass is capable. It is
hoped that this quality of the fish does not constitute an
objection to the species on the pirt of the Fish Commission-
ers. They should recall that an instance is not on record in
which a striped bass, even the most monstrous in size and of
like nature, has beeu taken with a Fish Commissioner or
any other man inside of it. How much this is saying for the
bass is a matter which every person must determine for
himself. It is to its credit that it is fond of good fish, and
when a youngster of its own species happens in its way
about feeding time — which seems to be as with men in taking
a wife— the tender young thing is taken in and given a place
where it will do the most good — to its senior, which certainly
evidences its tine discrimination and its fondness for its own
kind.

The striped bass is not a fresh water fish, it requires the
better preservative qualities of salt water, and thereupon
fattens to suit the taste of the epicure, as it is in its way
epicurian itself. No mention has ever been made of a striped
bass that had stomached suckers or made prey of catfish. It
is too careful and too abstemious a fish to take its horns that
way. Another thing, Btriped bass are a species of choice
food -fish which catfish never devour or drive out from streams
they inhabit.

The striped bass is not a bony fish in the way of the small
innumerable bones which make shad and herring so perplex-
ing at table. Their anatomy is of noble mould — resembling
more the vigorous salmon — albeit they have too much in-
stinct of self-preservation to attempt fish ladders and leap
falls in a manner the reverse of Sam Patch and his kind. It
was a crazy man who insisted with Tallyrand — when that
brilliant and wary diplomat was in New York and stood
upon tue parapet of Cantle Garden — that he should make the
leap to the massive stone pavement beneath — who instantly
took in the situation and comprehended the condition of his
unexpected interlocutor: "O, no; anybody can do that. Let
us step down to the pavement, and from there jump up
here." Probably the striped bass would suggest to the sal-
mon something of the kind, if the two were in company at
the level of the dam. And if the salmon persisted in its leap-
ing freak, the striped bass would let it go above to its own
safety in waters in which it could disport.

Bat we started in to write of striped bass and recommend
them to the Fish Commissioners. Somehow there is that
immemorial propensity, which will out whenever fish and
fishing aro the subjects, to wandering alike from the text and
the exact truth. It all comes of that story of Jonah's-ergo,
it is copying after scripture. A fellow can't just help it.
They all do it. Just as some people will believe a horseman
on every other subject except that of which be knows most
about, the world generally seems to b* incredulous of every-
body when fishing 1b the theme. It may have been a reason
why the Apostles, the most Bacred of fishermen, failed with
the doubters of their day. That matter of the rive loaves and
two fishes may have balked them. They should have dis-
cerned that that waB a miracle. Their bad example in not
having believed has been ever since perpetuated — among the
ungodly mind; among the unchristian. Let those who re-
frain from believing men who have been a fishing heed and
ponder. Stripes are not for bass only. The word of the an-
gler should go in the land. It is the delight of the amateur
in sport. Their quality of truthfulness is not in pi
category. Beware the "dull prodnot of a scoffer 's

Announcement.

The Breeder and Sportsman has changed ownership
and management. The purpose of the Breeder and
Sportsman is to sustain its past high reputation as the
leading publication of its kind upon the Pacific Coast,
and to build still higher upon this good and safe founda-
tion, in every held fairly within the scope of field and
stream, of manly sporting and wholesome pleasuring.

In every department there is engaged experienced,
skilled and facile writers, to instruct, chronicle and
entertain readers. The aim and study is excellence in
matter, fidelity in treatment of it, and the humor which
is relished by men of every degree. Performance shall
exceed the promise.

The Pacific Coast in general comprehensive aspect, is
a vast territory of unequalled activity aud matchless
enterprise, largely made up of the most intelligent and
energetic of the more populous portion of the Republic
ea^t of the Rocky Mountains, and of the most spirited of
the adventurous of other climes. The mellowing vein
of fondness for the grand sports which are as heritage of
noblest natures, courses through best Hues of ^'ancestry,
and develops agreeably us opportunity is presented. On
this Coast it is at its best. In California it is most
apparent. As the State is every year moving to the fore
front in products of the soil, in every field of art, in the
sciences, and in practicable methods, likewise is Califor-
nia becoming noted for the superiority of stock of every
kind. California breeding farms are already famous,
and California bred horses command the readiest sale in
the East at highest prices. To this great interest the
Breeder and Sportsman is mainlv devoted to- It is

the ambition of its owner to advance it to place in the
estimation of all, here and in the East, commensurate
with the highest appreciation in which the well bred
horses of California are held; to maintain it as the trusted
representative of the turf; to advance it to the front
rank of turf expositors.

In the other fields of legitimate sporting the Breeder
and Sportsman will keep fully abreast of the spirit of
this onward age. The Rod shall not be spared; our
Feather and Fur readers shall not be neglected; and
everything in lines of hearty sport and wholesome enjoy-
ment shall receive attention and encouragement.

CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

"We want a correspondent in every town ou the Pacific
Coast where Horses are Bred, Trained or Raced.

Reasonable compensation will be paid to those who
send news.

Interesting to Livery Stable Keepers.

A suit at law occurred lately in New York which is of
much interest to every keeper of a livery stable in the
large cities, and it will also interest owners of property
adjacent to stables. It was brought by a lady who
owned and occupied valuable real estate property and an
elegant dwelling in a fashionable part of the city, against
the owners of stables of the first-class which adjoined
her premises, praying the Court for abatement of the
nuisance, as she made complaint the stables were to her
household. The case was heard in the Supreme Court,
Judge Andrews presiding. The Court held that "a stable
is an actionable nuisance, and that the residence of any
neighborhood in which such a pest is situated can bring
action to have the same removed." Further, the Court
declared, "that it was no defence to the action that the
defendant's stable is well and properly built, nor that it
is a convenience to some people in its neighborhood, it
would be a desirable arrangement for many liverymen,
and convenient for some of their customers, if stables
could be located upon erery block in the finest streets of
the city, but it will hardly be claimed that such an
arrangement should be effected when the certain result
would be incalculable injury to adjoining property."

The owners of the stable purchased from the lady her
handsome property, and so escaped the further process of
the law, but immediately other residents in the neighbor-
hood began similar action, and these cases are yet to be
heard. In the event of similar judgment against them,
the stable owners will appeal to the Court of Appeals,
whose judgment is final. The case has created measur-
able consternation among owners of fine and large
livery stables in every part of the city, and in their own
protection they will make common cause to avoid the
consequences. One of them gave expression to what
appears to be the reflex of the common sentiment among
all in the business, to this effect: "It seems to me that
this decision practically declares that livery stables must
not exist near the homes of rich people, implying that
they must locate in districts where poor people live.
Any other interpretation means a proscription of them
altogether. I can't see why a livery stable should not
exist on Seventy-third street, where Judge Andrews says
'fine people' live, just as well as on a street where people
reside who are not quite so 'fine.' "

Valkyrie's Construction.

It seems still to be an open question whether or not
the new British yacht Valkyrie, built by the most cele-
brated of yacht builders of England, for Lord Dunraven,
to win the America cup in American waters, has a cen-
tre-board, after the American model. A famous British
sailing master, Captain Sloan, himself a hearty, joll}r
Irishman, is in New York, and has given the news-
papers a description of the Valkyrie as he saw her upon
the stocks, a short time before she was launched. He
considers her a very fast sailer and a good boat in stiff
breeze and heavy sea. She is conspicuously different
model from any British yacht yet built, and her builder
evidently patterned after the American yachts in impor-
tant respects. She is less in length, breadth and tonnage
than the Genesta and. Thistle, which vainly contested
for the America cup in succeeding years, but she is of
deeper draught, and is calculated to sail closer to the
wind, by reason of the peculiar form of her keel. It is
broader aud deeper at the fore part and centre — which
probably caused the impression that she has a centre-
board. Captain Sloan thinks that it was not the pur-
pose of ber owner or her builder tp have a centre-board,

but to d spend upon her unusual depth end width of keel.
A remarkable peculiarity is the great difference between
her water line and her length over all. She looks to be
a much larger vessel than she really is on this account.
Her bow and stern are alike very raking and extend be-
yond her water line out of all ordinary proportions.
This will enable her to carry a great amount of canvas
and be rated to better advantage in the sailing allow-
ances of the New York Yacht Club rules, as to time in *
racing.

American yachtmen believe that neither the Volun-
teer nor Puritan can outsail the Valkyrie, and her widely
uneven performances in her trials against the crack
British yachts adds to this feeling of confidence. It is
the impression of BOme. however, that the Valkyrie has
not yet been sufficiently tested in her sailing, owing to
the inability of her sailing master to fully understand
handling aer, on account of the marked difference be-
tween her build and rig from the yachts to which Brit-
ish sailing masters have been accustomed. In a few
more contests in British waters and upon the long voy-
age across the Atlantic, all this may be overcome, and
by the time the great contest for the America cup in
American waters shall be made, her sailing master will
be thoroughly instructed in handling her to the full ex-
tent of her quality in every condition of wind and sea.
In this event the Valkyrie may be a more formidable
competitor for the American cup than she is now consid-
ered by the New York Yacht Club.

It will be a contest in which greater interest will be
generally entertained in this country, and in the United
Kingdom as well, than has ever been felt, not excepting
the splendid triumph of the America in British waters
in 1851, and the victory of the American yachts over the
British Thistle, and again of the Volunteer over the
Genesta, within the past three years. So far the Ameri-
can yachts have proved invincible to all the world, and
attested the superiority of American marine architecture.
That the Volunteer car: beat the fastest yacht the British
builders can construct is the prevalent belief. But if
one can be built in any other country in all the world,
and prove it in a contest, the pride and further skill of
our Yankee builders will be aroused to the accomplish-
ment of still prouder triumphs on the vast waters. Hold
fast is a good dog until another proves to be better, and
until the Yankee yacht can be surpassed by one from
Borne other country, America can contentedly and com-
posedly rest upon her laurels. If the Valkyrie can beat
the Volunteer in August, and win the America Cup,
none will congratulate her more heartily than the
Americans. It will have the good effect to arouse them
to greater energies, and to construct the yacht that shall
entitle the country to the lofty distinction for aye of the
mastery of the seas in naval skill and speed and pluck

Registration of Pacers.

Martin Halfpenny, in Wallace's Monthly, puts forth
a plea in behalf of pacers, and thinks that they are
entitled and should be admitted to the rank of "Stand-
ard." He brings to his support in the argument the
blood and performances of the most noted pacers, and
also the results of breeding within the lines of the most
renowned trotters. In this presentation he cites from
George Wilkes, to whom he assigns first place as "the
greatest of all trotting sires," with a line of 59 trotters
and six pacers in the 2:30 list, through Blue Bell, "the
next greatest sire, and himself a pacer," with 53 trotters
and 5 Dacers; Hambletonian, "who will always have the
honor of being the greatest of all progenitors," but with
■il trotters to his list and no pacers; Happy Medium,
with 3S trotters and 3 pacers; Electioneer, with 3S trot,
ters and one pacer — "the fastest, Manyanito, 2:16, out of
a mare by the pacer St. Clair;" Alinont, with 32 trotters
and 2 pacers: Daniel Lambert, 32 trotters and 1 pacer;
Volunteer, 26 trotters and 1 pacer; Nutwood, 21 trotters
and 3 pacers, down to noted sires who had below 20 trot-
ters and from -1 pacers to only one or more, and thence
still lower in the list, from Messenger Duroc and Whip-
ple's Hambletonian, each with only 1 pacer, to 15 and
14 trotters; Mambrino Patchen, with 11 trotters aud no
pacers; Gen. Benton, 10 trotters aud no pacer, to Scott's
Hiatogo, 5 trotters and 9 pacers, aud Pocahontas Boy,
with 3 trotters and 7 pacers.

A large number are mentioned, but enough are here
given to illustrate the grounds of his argument, which is
that the greatest trotting sires have produced pacers
also. All that are mentioned have produced ten or more
that have records of 2:30 or better.

Hambletonian, Princeps and Greeu's Bashaw did not
produce pacers with a record of 2:30, but Mr. Halfpenny
is of opinion that this is to be accounted for on the grouod
that the get of these horses were neither trained or
allowed to "go that way;" that in the case of Hambie-
tonian, "in his time pacing was unpopular, aud if any of
his colts showed a tendency to that gait, the fact waB
concealed and suppressed," He cites that the sires foaled

before 1S70 were prolific in pacers of the 2:30 class, but
that no sire foaled since 1875 has produced ten or more
trotters or pacers in the 2:30 class. Red Wilkes, 1874,
Onward, 1875, and Sultan, 1S75, were each sires of the
get of that class, and he argues from this that the fact
that such horses as Bed Wilkes, Onward and Sultan
"can p.oduce speed at the pace, is one of the indications
of their great prepotency and power." His facts and
deductions, as presented, hardly appear to bear out the
strength of the argument.

The precise meaning is somewhat clouded by what
next follows. Reference is made to 6ires foaled sinee
187G — Alcantara, Pancoast, Nugget, Mambrino Russell
— of whom the last two were from daughters of Pilot Jr.,
and the dam of Mambrino Eussel was also the dam of
Maud S., the fastest trotter in the world — and next,
Jay-Eye-See. 2:10, whose dam was a daughter of Pilot
Jr., — each having pacing blood in them — and Happy
Medium, the greatest sire foaled in 1879, with four trot-
ters in the 2:30 class.

Mr. Halfpenny thinks "there would seem to be no
chance for further argument; that "it is high time the
pacer was admitted to the standard." He makes no
allusion to the performances of the famous pacers
Oneida Chief, James K. Polk, Pocahontas, Pet, Billy
Boyce and Johnson, but he argues solely from the quali-
ties for speed developed in pacers descended from George
Wilkes and other great sires who had a tendency to pace
and were double-gaited, that the pacer should be ad-
mitted as standard; otherwise, he suggests that the pac-
ing horsemen of the country ought to form a National
Pacing Horse Breeders' Association, and "engage the
editor of the Monthly to edit and manage a racing regis-
ter. If the National Trottiug Horse Breeders' Associa-
tion will not consent to admit pacers to registration, the
same as trotters, then a Pacing Association should be
organized," and he is of the opiniou that the proper
basis for registration of pacers would be a record of 2:25
instead of 2:30 — a tribute to, or recognition of, the great
natural speed of the pacing horse.

It is a subject which is likely to interest horsemen,
particularly pacing horsemen — a free for all to go as they
please upon it.

Difference in Season Terms.

In looking over the stud advertisements in California
newspapers devoted to the turf and the newspapers of
similar class in the States east of the Hocky Mountains,
one is struck with the wide difference which exists in
the season terms demanded on that side above the
charges made on this, in about nearly equal qualities of
high bred stallions. As instances, the following from
Kentucky and Ohio are presented: Bell Boy with a
record of 2:26 at two years, and cf 2:19^ at three years,
now standing at the Elmwood Farm of Mr. Hooper his
owner, has his book full for 18S9, at §500. At High-
land Farm, Nutwood, record 2:18^, $500, and book
nearly full; Red Wilkes, record not advertised, §300, and
Wilton, record 2:19^, both with books full. At Stoner's
Farm, Paris, Ky., Baron Wilkps, record 2:18, §300, books
full. At Alexander's Woodburn Farm, Lord Eussell,
brother to Maud S., without statement of record, $300;
Harold, sire of Maud S., without statement of record,
$300; Belmont, sire of Nutwood, $300; and King Wilkes,
record of 2:22£, and Pistachio, brother to Nutwood, each
$200. At Cynthiana, Sultan, record 2:24, $300. At
Cedar Park, Woodnut, record 2:1S±, §300; Antevolo,
record 2:19£, $200, and Epaulet, record 2:19, $200. At
Glenview, Phallis, record 2:13|, $250. At Abdallah
Park, Simmons, record 2:28, $200. In the $150 list are
Fallis, record 2.20 and trial 2:19^; Wilkes Boy, record
2:24£, and Brown, record 2:18j.

Of course the above are only instances picked out at
random. The list might be increased on close examina-
tion. But enough is presented. The prices stated are
much in excess of prices in California, for equally
approved stallions in blood, breeding and records. Bell
Boy is a California bred horse, foaled at Palo Alto by
Electioneer, dam Beautiful Bells, the exceptional two-
year-old sold for §50,000. Fallis is also a son of Elec-
tioneer. Neither could command such rates as are paid
for their services in the East. Nutwood was in high
prime while in Califorria, but he could not command
terms to be compared with the sum he holds in Ken-
tucky. Sultan could not, and as to Baron Wilkes,
Phallas, Wilton and Simmons, it is within bounds to say
that $100 would be the topmost paid the first two, and
$75 to the last earned. Pilot Russell, a brother to Maud
S., at Dover, Mason Co., Ky., has $150. It is more than
double the amount that could be got for him on this
Coast.

There is food for reflection in these figures and facts.
There are a very great many more people on that side
of the Continent than on this side, but the enormous
proportion in numbers dwindles when the comparison
in wealth, per capita, is applied- The ratio per thous-

ands who have the wealth and means besides to own
trotters of high breeding and fine horses for pleasure
uses, on that side, is below that which exists on this. As
to the horses and ther"- value, on account of blood and
breeding and speed, the records stand yet to the credit of
the East, but as California and the Pacific Coast is every
year moving to the front, the probability is that the
horse to lower the record of Maud S., will be of Califor-
nian parentage and breeding. Bell Boy may yet do it.
Turfmen of high reputation are of opinion that Sunol
will. The sons and daughters of Stamboul and Guy
Wilkes, are yet to be heard of. Time will solve the
problem, and it is altogether likely, we repeat, from
what has been accomplished, that a California bred trot-
ter will prove the champion of the trotting turf.

At the sales in New York of youngsters fiom cele-
brated breeding farms and of fine blood, the largest
prices are obtained from the trotters bred in California;
much above the prices at which even Kentucky horses
sell. Bell Boy is at the pinnacle, and below in the scale
can be cited a score of others in figures high up, in the
grand round up of lots. The prices at which the young-
sters fent on by Stanford, by Haggin, by Rose, Baldwin,
Corbett, Yaleusin and other California breeders have sold
are every year larger than the same classes bred in Ken-
tucky and elsewhere in the East have commanded. This
is proof that the Eastern horsemen value the California
bred trotters above those bred in Kentucky. All this is
something for California turfmen and others to consider.
They get trotters from as thorough lines and with as
great speed as can be found in the East, and at less cost
for the breeding, as the figures above presented show.
No man here will pay §500 or $350, or any other sum,
for the services of a stallion in Kentucky or anywhere
in the East, when he is aware that in bis own State he
can secure equally as good a colt at less cost for the
breeding — and perhaps one that is better bred and with
better promise of speed. As California is becoming
every year the favored of States in developing horses to
their best, it is simple logic that here are bred the best
horses, with best profit.

Racing in Oregon.

One of the most snccessul meetings thai has been held in
the northwest was brought to a successful close last Satur-
day at Portland, Or. The weather has heeu brilliant,
and the prospect of good racing brought a large
influx of si)ectators into the city, all of whom were highly
satisfied with the sport. The general management and super-
vision would serve as a pattern for some of the other north-
ern meetings. The pool Belling conducted by ihe well known
W. Ayres, was extensively patronized.

The Portland Speed Association wound up their meeting
in real racing style. The weather was as good as could be
desired, and with a large crowd the association has every
reason to be thankful for, and at the same time proud of, the
result.

The three-year-old trot (two in three), purse $250, wbb
won easily in straight heats bv Altao, the beet heat in 2:47.

The mile running, purse §400, was divided between E. M.
Donaca's J. M, E. and Cy. Mu lkey'n ch g Tom Daly, in
1:45$. Had they run it off the former would probably have
won, as Tom Daly is not a genuine miler, having a prefer-
ence for a shorter route.

The free-for-all trot, purse $500, brought out three Btart-
ers, Pslatina, Little Jo« and Susie D. Palatina won handily,
the best heat being 2:27$.

The following correspondence has passed between Colonel
Russell and J. H. Clark relative to a race between their cele-
brated stallions:

Milton. Mass, March 3d, 1889.
J. H. Clark, Esq.— Dear Sir: Will it be agreeable to yuu
and Mr. Hopper to have Bell Boy and Edgemark come
together this season on some track convenient to both, and at
such a time as not to interfere with other engagements, I do
not propose the idea for the sake of gambling, but for the
sole purpose of testing their merits, and shall be very glad to
meet your convenience in the matter. (Signed) Very truly,

H. S. Bussell.
Mr. Clark's reply to Col. RusBell is subjoined:

Elmira, N, Y., March 5th, 18S9.
Henry S. Russell, Esq.— Dear Sir: In reply to your
favor, will say that Bell Boy has large engagements in the
stud this season, and we shall not trot him any races. When

On dummy 48, of the Sutter Street line, a new safety guard
is being tested, and apparently this patent will have to be
adopted by the different cable lines. The patentee gave a
practical example of its perfection last week by throwing him-
self several times in front of the dummy when going at full
speed, escaping without injury.

VETERINARY.

The Examination of Horses as to Soundness
At the quarterly meeting of the California State Veterinary
Association, held at the Baldwin Hotel last "Wednesday even-
ing, Dr. Thomas Bowhill of this city delivered the following
address, which should prove of great interest to all who own
horseB:
Mr. President and Gentlemen —

As veterinary practitioners we are frequently called
upon to decide — not upon the particular ailment, its
causes, effects, and probable termination from which
an animal may be suffering, but upon a far weightier
question, in many

cases, as to whether a horse is
not 6ound In wind and limb, and if not, to what ex-
tent he is unsound, and how far said unsoundness is likely
to interfere with the duties expected of him. The difference
between the latter case as oompared with the former, is that
you have a patient that is likely to live, and have living testi-
mony to the error or truth of your prognosis. Again this is
not all. Your mistakes if any. are often set down for some-
thing worse, and your actions sometimes interpreted as dis-
honesties. There are numerous pitfalls in the examination
of horses as to soundness, and an exact method of procedure
is necessary. However, it is necessary first to consider the
terms soundness and unsoundness. The following defini-
tions have been given.

Lord Ellinborough Defines unsoundness to be "any in-
firmity rendering the animal less fit for present use and con-
venience." Another definition is, that unsoundness is any
alteration in structure or function which lessens the useful-
ness of the animal or reduces his market value.

Baron Park says, "a horse is sound when he is free from
hereditary disease; is in posses.-iou of his natural and con-
stitutional health, and has as much bodily perfection as is
consistent with bis natural formation."

Some restrict the word "sound" to mean perfeot — which is
absrird as it is next to impossible to find a horse perfect in
everything.

Baron Anderson takes a very sensible viewof the situation.
He says, "the word sound means sound and the very quali-
fication of which it is susceptible arises from the purpose for
which the warranty is given. If, for instance, a hoise is
purchased to be used in a given way. The word sound
means that the animal is useful for that purpose, and un-
sound means that he at the same time is affected with some-
thing which will have the affect of impeding that use."

The above understanding is one which veterinary surgeons
would do well to obscure in their practice. Many horses
are examined with defects which some might consider un-
sound, but experience and judgment are necessary to decide
whether these defects will interfere with the working powers
of the animal. In such cases it is always necessary to know
what work the animal is intended to be put to. Such an
animal can be called practically sound. In using the term
it sometimes becomes very difficult to know where to draw
the line — here again experience, judgment and observation
are necessary.

For instance, you examine a horse, and find him all right
with the exception of a splint, which is well to the front of
the canon bone, and considerably below the knee. Now such
a blemish will never interfere with the usefulness of an ani-
mal, and to reject such a horse would be doing a great injus-
tice both to him and his owner. However, it is necessary
that all defects should he explained to the buyers of an ani-
mal, so that he may be willing to take the risk, guided, how-
ever, by the veterinary surgeon's opinion.

Great difficulties arise in giving opinions in disputed
cases, as it is seldom that two men can be found having the
same opinion on certain defects whether they cause un-
soundness or not.

Having consider ihe terms soundness and unsoundness,
we will next consider the method of examination. For any
veterinarian to attempt the task without method is a folly,
which will as often land him in difficulties as not. Science
does not recognise slip-shod work, and a method of some
kind you must have, and if it be imperfect, you mutt study
to perfect it; but whatever it is you must follow it always, if
you wish to avoid mistakes. I know of no better method to
recommend than that taught by the late Professor Dick. It
if.-, capable of beiog considered under three divisions.

1. Seeing a horse for as long a time as possible in his
stable.

2. Seeing him, and feeling his several points when stand-
ing on level ground outside the stable.

3. Seeing him in his various paces, and watching and
listening to his respirations, and afterwards removing his
fore shoes.

Suppose a horse is brought to you for examination, you
will put him at once in a stall and fix him so that he has
plenty of liberty. Watch him cloBely for crib-biting, wind-
sucking and weaving.

Botu crib-biting and wiudsucking are or lead to real un-
soundness. Crib-biting can only be practiced when a horse
has something to pull at; but if be be more accomplished, he
will be able to "suck wind" by elevating his head and having
nothing to grasp.

Crib-biting is at first a nervous disease, and may be the
result of imitation or arise de novo from gastric discomfort
long continued or frequently repeated which is brought about
by any of the forms of indigestion.

Weaving is a vice which can scarcely be detected except by
watching a horse in the stable. This, like the last, is also a
nervous habit, which keeps the forelegs in constant motion
when they should be at rest. As to wind-sucking, it is
claimed by some no such thing exists, and tbat it is gas gen-
erated in the stomach, and the efforts are made to expel it,
However, opinions differ on this point. You *ill need to pay
particular attention to the horseB' attitude in the stall.
Should he not stand equally on both forelegs, your suspic-
ions should immediately be aroused. He maj point leg,
thruwiDg the foot under the manger aB in navicular disease,
or swing the limb, that is, let it hang from the side. You
must note whether it is the near or off-limb, and whichever it
is, examine it very particularly when the animal is outside
the stable.

Regarding the hind limbs, nothing bo definite can be said.
It is quite natural for a horse to rest his hind limbs one at a
time, but he may be lame in a hind leg, and, moreover, may
b" standing on it and resting the Bound leg on account of
living stood so long on the Bound leg as to make it painful,
*io that nothing but an unusual attitude or some visible defect
justifies any conclusion being arrived at concerning the hind-
egs in the stable.

Provided nothing unusual has been observed, make the
.orae stand over briskly in the stall, and watch (or evidences
^i Bpavin or stringhalt. They can sometimes be detected in
this manner; remember, bqweyer, tnat any horse accustomed

to stand in deep straw will lift his hind legs high, when stand-
ing over, even if there is no straw under him.

Should you be satisfied, you will next put a snaffle bit on
the subject and bring him to the stable door, and make a
careful examination of his eyes. There is nothing so good as
a top-light, which we often Hud over a stable door. Bring
the horse up to the door and shut it, and in this manner you
can examine the anterior halt of the eyes thoroughly. First,
see if the eyes are of equal size, as repeated attacks of opthal-
mia leave one eye smaller than its fellow, and another thing
of great importance: examine the eyelid thoroughly to see if
it is corrugated, because such is generally the case after an
attack of periodic opthalmia. Again the smaller eye will fre-
quently show signs of previous disease in tbe shape of the
pupil. "When the iris is involved you not unfrequently have
adhesion of its posterior part to the lens. This is usually
only partial, so that on contraction of the iris the part adher-
ent does not move, and so alters the general outline of the
margin of the pupil. You can also test the eyes by tension
by resting the last three fingers of both hands upon the eye-
brow, and then pressing the index Sogers alternately upon
the globe of the eye, covered by the upper lid, and thus you
can compare the resistance of both eyes. You can also apply
the catoptric test in a dark stable, or you can use the opthal-
moscope, should your suspicions warrant it.

Being fully satisfied with the eyes, you now bring the horse
out of the stable and place it on level ground. Take a general
view of the animal as a whole by walking round him. By
this means you can detect obvious causes of unsoundness
which may render further examination unnecessary, i e ,
spavins, curbs, splints, ringbones, shaky forelegs, broken
kueos, wasted shoulders, and fractured ileum, commonly
known as hipped, etc. It is best to commence your examin-
ation on the near side of the horse by lookiug at the opening
of the nostril and examining the Schneideriau mucous mem-
brane for discharge, ulceration, constriction and polypi. The
discharges may arise from catarrh, nasul gleet, pus in the
gutteral pouches, or glanders, or the membrane may be ex-
coriated from the discharge caused by a diseased tooth.
Catarrh, while it lasts, constitutes unsoundness, and to pass
a horse so afflicted would not be good judgment, as the after-
affects are sometimes very serious. Nasal gleet is also an un-
soundness, and requires careful examination to distinguish
it from glanders.

Next examine the mouth, gums, etc., being careful to as-
certain the horses age, and Ot-ware of horse dealer's tricks,
which are numerous. You must also examine the molar
teeth for irregularities and diseased teeth, and the spaces
between the molars and incisors for evidences of a hard
puller.

We now feel beneath the jaws for enlarged glands, which
are often the after effects of strangles, and if so, you must be
cautious in testing the wind afterwards. Now pass your
hand over the poll, using pressure, and look for evidences of
poll evil. At this stage you also examine the parotid gland,
which may also be enlarged from the after effects of strangles.
Passing down the neck we now distend the jugular vein and
examine for partial or complete obliteration of same, and for
marks of previous bleeding. Should the latter be present we
must at once suspect the animal has at one time been treated
for yome severe disease, and it is our duty to inform the
intending purchaser. Severe injuries to this vein constitute
unsoundness. "We are also liable to find skiu disease on the
neck, i. e., mange, ringworm, eczema, etc. If so, we Bhall
advise the intending purchaser to have the animal cured
previous to purchase.

Passing further down we come to the shoulder, there
may be collar galls caused by a bad fitting collar, or an irrita-
ble condition of the skin, and small tumors are also found
in this region. If the horse is intended for harness, it is an
unsoundness giving rise to much trouble afterwards. We
also examine the shoulder for atrophied muscle commonly
known as shoulder slip or sweeny. This is detected in uom-
paring both sides and by the firm elastic resistance which
thoae musoles give on pressure in health, and by the convex-
ity from before backwards. The point of the shoulder may
show signs of setonB or blistering. This should at once
arouse our suspicious. But again we must remember that
mistakes are often made in the diagnosis of lameness, ard
incompetent practitioners in doubtful cases often apply
treatment to the shoulder as an experiment. Again we must
not condemn a horse with prominent spines on the scapula
and on poor condition as affected with shoulder slip. Again
a horse may be atrophied in both shoulders. We will now
examine the front of the fore limb first. On leaving the
shoulder we pass our hand over the Flexor Brachii muscle
and down the front of Badius, and seldom find any unsound-
ness until we come to the knee, when we arrive at an impor-
tant part — a part much liable to injury, and can receive none
but the most trivial Bcratch with impunity. On passing the
fingers over the front of the knee you may feel and see any
injury to the skiu. But "broken knees" is such a vague
term that it includes every degree from mere clipping off of
the hair, to laying open the joint and exposure of the bones.
Why this widely prevalent suspicion of ''broken knees?"
Popular belief cannot be ignored, and therefore not this.
Broken knees can be enunciated as follows:
1st — Skin bruised, not cut.
2d — Skin cut.

3d — Skin divided lacerated and extensor tendon exposed.
4th — Wound goes through tendon exposing joint.
5th — Wound goes through tendon exposing joint and
fracture of one or more bones of the joint.

It is quite evident that a horse suffering from the effects
of the fourth and fifth form is unsound in so much that he
cannot bend his knee. Another point is how a horse injured
his knee. Was it the rider's or the driver's fault, or is he a
stumbler? If so, he is liable to fall again, and in that case
any of the above forms is an unsoundness. In fact it is a

I. Anomalies of Size. — When the feet are of equal size,
free from disease, but larger in proportion to the body than
common, you may regard it as of no consequence. As far as
we are concerned it is neither an unsoundness nor does it in
any particular way lead to unsoundne s, but it is different
when they are too small, that is, small out of proportion to
the body. It is more difficult to satisfy yourself, as it is well
known when a part is inflamed nutrition, and therefore
growth, is arrested. Again, feet may be of unequal size, and
still both may be quite sound. Atrophied aLd fleshy frogs
are neither of them conditions which exist singly, and if they
did, would not constitute unsoundness, being nearly, if not
always, associated with other defects.

II. Anomalies of Shape. — The long axis of the fore foot is
from side to side, but in the hind foot it is from before back-
wards. In the front this long axis tends to become like the
hind foot, from before backwards, but there is no tendency
to alteration in the hind foot. This condition is brought
about by disease and the elevation of the Jroy from the
ground, and paring with the draw-knife, cutting away tbe
bars, etc., due to the old creed of " What's mine 's ?ny own,"
not only of the vulgar, but of those who ought at leaBt to
know the rudiments of political economy. The causes of flat
soles are as follows: —

1. Paring with the draw-knife.

2. Laminitis.

3. Congetal.
This may be an unsoundness of the greatest magnitude, or

it may not, and in judging it you have to be guided by its

1st. Cause.

2nd. Degree.
In some eases a broad web shoe and leather sole is necessa-
ry, and if with this he goes "feely" he is unsound, because a
sonnd horse can go with ease in ordinary shoes. Sore heels,
though themselves not an unsoundness, are frequently asso-
ciated with radical unsoundness, corns, bruises, etc.* Long
toes are not an unsoundness, but are apt to lead to it.

III. Anomalies of Position. — A horBe with upright pasterns
may go sound, but he is liable to go lame at any time. Toes
turned out or turned in are not an unsoundness, but lead to
it.

IV. Injuries. — Under this heading we have unnerved.
However neatly this operation is done, it is found out in
two days: 1st, Marks of the incisions; 2nd, by the numb,
awkward way he uses his feet. To teBl him, ride him on a
hard road, and you will find it as much a paradise to him as
a soft, grassy park. Brittle hoof is an unsoundness when it
cannot bear the nails with which the shoe is fastened. In
a flat sole, a bruised sole of any degree whatever is an un-
soundness, occurring as it does in a conformation suffering
from it, and predisposed to it.

Bruised coronet can seldom be looked upon as a trivial
injury.

V. Diseases.— The following diseases in this classification
are so obvious that comment is unnecessary, i. e. : 1. Can-
ker. 2. Carbuncle of coronary band. 3. Disease of pyra-
midal process of os pedis. 4. False quarter. 5. Quittor.
6. Villitis.

Others, though obvious, require some comments, i e.: 1.
Grease. 2. Ring-bone. 3. Side-bones.

The remainder require considerable attention. If grease
i'b unmistakably present, then the horse is unsound; if it only
threatens, then the horse is for the time being unsound,
because if he was worked it would undoubtedly become
aggravated, and he would require treatment, and a horse
requiring even so little as a dose of physic doeB not answer
the definition of a sound horse. Ring-bone usually affects the

good rule to reject as unsound all cases in which you find ' hind pasterns, but is often found on the fore ones.
distinct evidence of injury which hai failed to become ; Ring-bone is an unsoundness without any mitigating cir-
entirely obliterated in six months. We must, however, cumstances.

beware of carpitiB which always constitutes unsoundness. ! Speedy Cut can only be looked upon as an unsoundness

We bIso have capped knees which are of two kinds. I when fresh done, no matter how— many scars; they only

1st — Serous, which is superficial. | show a grave defect iu the horse's action.

2d— Synovial, which is deeper seated.

These swellings impede mobility or not according to their
Bize and position. A horse with such swellings would have
to be taken for better or worse, because they are unmistake
ably apparent. Having finished the knew we now pass
hand down the front of the canon tone uutil we come to tbe
fetlock joint; practically we can pass over this without a
thought as it is seldom affected in any way, except on race
horses and that is sore Bhins. We will now describe j,11 the
parts beneath the fetlock joint together, and with this method
in view will now proceed to place before you the following
classification .

I. — Anomalies of Size.

1. Feet too small.

2. Feet too large.

3. Feet unequal in Bize.

Hide-bones are generally found in heavy draught horsep,

but seldom in ligbt breeds. If present on an animal intended

to do slow work, and he is going sound, you can puss him as

. practically >ound; but if the animal is intended for fast

our [ work under saddle or in harneBs, it is an unsoundness.

Corns, this is about the last thing you look for, because
to make sure of finding them it is necessary to remove the
foreshoes aud examine the seat of corn. Some practitioners
simply cut in below the shoe with a searcher, but such an
examination is bad practice, when you can have the shoe re-
moved. Yen must remember that the extravasated blood con-
stituting a sligbt corn iB not imbedded in the crumby mater-
ial the knife first outs— but in tbe living or Bensitive horn
beneath. Corns are very properly regarded as an unsound-
ness.

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

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

Science in Horse Shoeing.

Horse shoeing is likely to receive considerable attention
at the Windsor Royal, England. The FarrierB' company
proposes to do some excellent work in a most necessary
direction, and in setting about it in a highly sensible man-
ner. This company offers prizes for the successful candidates
in a horse shoeing competition, a sum of money and the
freedom of the company being the awards. The examination
is to be of a practical and searching character; competitors
are not only to be called upon to shoe a fore and hind foot,
but are also to be questioued as to the structure of the hoof
and its adjuncts— a very desirable proceeding. Suoh a con-
test as this is Bure to awaken interest and inquiry among
those who are connected with horses, especially among
farriers themselves, who will be sure to study full details of
what takes place; and the result cannot fail to be beneficial
Multitudes of blacksmiths, says the London Standard, do
their work by rule of thumb, with a very scanty and super-
ficial knowledge of the component parts of the horse's foot,
and this leads to cruelty and expense; for, by improper

shoeing, the horse is so often injured that he suffers acutely,
if, indeed, be be not actually ruined; and what hurts the
horse in the foot hurts the owner in the pocket.

Inbreeding.

An article in Wallace's Monthly on this subject by "ft.''
concludes as follows:

"A reasonable theory would be that inbreediog is, in effect,
an intensifying of the qualities, good and bad, that the mated
animals have in common, and that by selecting individuals
free from the defoots wished to be shunned the qualities
sought for would be strengthened and increased without
corresponding disadvantages. It is a common saying that
an ounoe of fact is worth a pound of theory, and the breeder
will do well who will go out into the field of experiment and
give to his fellows the actual results of his efforts. Who can
now say as a fact that the coupling together of a horse and
and oaare, full brother and sister, necessarily produces

inferior offspring? Questions of a moral nature cannot enter
into the mating of brutes, and the only thing to merit con-
sideration should be the physical results flowing from the
union. To render such experiments of value, selections of
the individual animals should be made with the greatest
care. The characteristics of their ancestors should be
studied, to ascertain whether they have any decided botiily
or mental defects to be increased by inbreeding. Springing
from the same fountain of life, to the froit of their family
tree, sweet and bitter, their offspring would have a donble
title. Their defects and infirmities, both menial and physi-
cal, would, as a rule, undoubtedly be aggravated aud in-
creased; but why might we not with equal reason expert the
desirable qualities to be strengthened" in the ratio? It can
not be denied that many cases of the closest possible con-
sangunity have occurred, wherein the results were highly
favorable, that came from the accidental pairing of the ani-
mals, so that care iu selection was out of the question.
What results may be accomplished in establishing the future
charaoteristics of the trotting horse by judicious inhr— '
is as yet an unsolved problem."

JUDGE McKINSTRY is a bright bay with black

Eoiuts, l!ijf hands in height, of a conformation com-
ining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. The families on both sides being
noted for their gameness and neetness. Speakin ■ of
JUDGE McKINSTRY. AJatt Storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse I ever saw
on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He
was started in several races wh.en.not in condition to
run, and even then developed an amount of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well known to
need repetition here. Good judges of horses stite pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as lie is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule compels us to
name both sires.

By Sidney.

First dam Flirt bv Buccaneer.

Second dam Mohaska Belle by Flaxtail.

Third dam by John the Baptist.

Sidney by Santa Claus, 2:17!^, his dam Sweetness,
2;21Vf. Stratlnnore, the son of Santa Clans, has 23 of
his get which have trotted in 3:30 or better, up to close
of 18"7, several having entered since, and Volun-

PERFORMANCES.

Memo only trotted in public in his two-year-old form,
obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the sec-
o< dheat of which was made in E:3l&,the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old,
and had it not been tor a slight strain of his fore fet-

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1889.

Santa Rosa Race Track.

Of all the pretty valley towns in California there is none
that surpasses Santa Rosa in loveliness. The residents who
located there in the days gone by seem all to have been
animated with the one idea, and that was to beautify their
little city. In architectural designs SaDta Rosa's buildings
equal any in the State, and the business folks are trying to
rival each other in the beaaty of their residential quarters.
The streets are well paved with basalt blocks, asphaltum,
and some few are macadamed, while they are brilliantly
lighted at night with an excellent system of electric lights,
not forgetting the assistance rendered by the Santa Rosa Gas
Works. The city contains at present somewhere in the
neighborhood of 8,000 population, aDd is in a very prosper-
ous condition. The merehants find no cause for complaint,
business being good. The insufferably warm nights which
causes the ordinary San Francisco man to dread the summer
evenings in a large majority of the valley cities, are very
rarely found in this section, the cool ocean air coming in
from the coast and up from San Pablo Bay, meeting the hot
air currents from the north, causing the atmosphere to be
thoroughly enjoyable, instead of intensely oppressive. The
county buildings are of the best, the court house having few
equals in the State. Last Saturday evening the brass band
gave an open air concert, a thousand or two persons assem-
bling to listen to the tirst-class music.

At the stable of the ByiDgton Bros, the Breeder and
Sportsman representative met Mr. Byington, the Mayor of
Santa Rosa, a live wide awake gentleman who has labored
diligently for the good of the city. It is a great pity that the
energetic citizens of the town are hampered at present with a
set of old fossils in the Board of Supervisors, who object to
doing anything that will bring the great merits of Sonoma
before the people of the Eastern States, in fact they seem
afraid that emigration will work incalculable injury to those
already there. They have even refused to allow the sum of
$1,000 with which to assist the local Board of Trade and the
State Board. Mayor Byington is very severe on the Super-
visors, but no more so than the balance of the business men
of Santa Rosa.

By the courtesy of Mr. Roney a look was taken through
the rooms of the Santa Rosa Club, a new organization lately
started in that flourishing community. The situation could
not be improved on, directly in the business center of town,
it is handy for all the members, which number at present
fifty, but at the nest meeting of the Director?, the number
will be largely increased, as there are any quantity of appli-
cants who desire to join. A large reading room gives ample
opportunity to those who are of a literary turn of mind; all
the principal magazines, periodicals and newspapers being
on file. At luncheon hour each day, a repast is set out for
those who from press of business cannot go home. Billiard
room, sitting room, smoking room, chess and checker room,
and an elegant bath room go to make up a cosy and com-
fortable lounging place for the members.

Mr. W. H. Sanborn, manager of the track, owner of "The
Castle" — which is the sporting headquarters— livery stable
owner, and owner of race-horses, game chickens, etc., placed
& buggy at the disposal of the writer, and a ride was taken
around the beautiful city. A call was made on Messrs. Mc-
Gowan & Clarkson, at Kronckes' Park, where a party of about
eight hundred from San Francisco were having an enjoyable
time. Mr. Kronckes, who, by the way, is an enthusiastic
horseman, has fitted up this pleasure reBort with everything
that will tend to add to the comfort of those who visit his
little paradise. A large dancing pavilion give tboas who are
devotees of Terpsichore a chance to indulge in their favorite
pastime. Swings, shooting galleries, swimming bath, elegant
promenades, and a host of other attractions makes the park a
very enjoyable place to visit. A drive was then taken to the

race-track, where we found Mr. G. Gurne, Mart Rollins, Br.
Klencb, one of California's prominent veterinary surgeons,
Mr. Murphy, the staunch believer in Anteeo blood, D. N.
Carithers, and many other prominent owners and trainers.
Of the followers of the thoroughbreds, there were only two
representatives, Geo. Kennedy of Healdsburg, and Bruce
Cockrill, whom not to know is to confess ignorance of matters
pertaining to bang-tails. Brace brought out half a dozen
candidates with which he will try to win fame and fortune
this season. Daisy D. naturally was the first one to claim
attention, the mare looking in excellent condition, notwith-
standing that her foal has so lately been tukeD from her side.
Mr. Cockrill has every reason to be proud of his Wheatley —
Black Maria mare, for she has earned many a big dollar for
the stable.

Captain Al iB a fine, slashing brown colt, two years old, by
Kingston (a son of Hercules), dam Black Maria by George-
town. He haa not received any work to speak of, but acts
and moves like a race-horse should.

Roundout is another good looking colt by the same sire as
Captain Al, but out of an Ironclad mare. With plenty of
work he should be a success.

Acclaim, in the same stable, is owned by Geo. Kennedy.
She id a yearling filly by Three Cheers, dam Rosette by
Wheatley. Mr. Cockrill has a great opinion of this youngster,
and with good reason, for she is a perfect picture of the thor-
oughbred. Acclaim is entered for the Futurity Stakes of
1890, which will be worth $100,000 to the winner. Here's
that Acclaim may win the rich stake.

Mark L. is in looks a Joe Hooker; in fact, he is almost the
living image of Sorrento, but he is in no ways related to that
family, being by Ironclad, dam a Lodi mare. If Mark
L. does not make a name for himself he terribly belies his
looks.

Inkerman ia a bay gelding by Ironclad, dam Alice by
Wheatley, who is still very high in flesh and will need a lot
cf exercising to bring him down to the necessary condition
for racing. The two last mentioned horses are owned by W.
H. Sanborn.

After inspecting the thoroughbreds we took a look through
the stables of that reliable trainer, L. W. Marsh. We were
first shown two fine horses owned by Mr. C. C. Beamish of
San Francisco, the first, Zeno, a six-year-old stallion by that
grand sire, Sultan, dam Lady Utley. He has been put
throngb his paces, but unfortunately became lame and had
to be put out of training. He is now coming round all right,
and in a few days will be jogging again.

Cora B. is a very pretty light chestnut, four years old, by
SaUdin, and is full of go. She moves with good action, and
haa plenty of Epeed, which should bring her to the fore.

Mamie J. is owned by E. Seegleton of Santa Rosa. She is
four years old, by Anteeo, dam by Whipple's Hambletonian,
a cross that always nicks well. Mamie J. is the very picture
of her sire and shows a fine turn of speed.

Mr. G. W. Frost, of Cloverdale, has a good roadster in the
same stable which goes by the name of Jack Frost, but it
would be a bitter day if Jack got left.

Laurel Dale, three yeara old by Anteeo 2:16£, dam Dan-
ville Maid by Don Juan, ia a fine large rangy stallion, the
Droperty of Roae Dale Breeding Farm. He is about sixteen
hands high, weighs a trifle over a thousand poundB, has
magnificent carriage, a good gait, and although never trained
shows every indication of being no disgrnce to his breeding.
Laurel Dale is a promising horse in everything that the
term implies, and we hope to see Mr. March make a low re-
cord for him, not only for his own satisfaction, but also for
the satisfaction of Dr. Finlaw, the owner of the farm.

The next one worthy of interest is Lock, a chestnut, four
years old, by Antelope, he a son of Nutwood. This ia a
beautiful specimen of the equine species, his owner Mr.

Murphy, feels assured that Lock will give a good account of
himself before long.

Mr. Murphy is also the happy possessor of a bay filly,
Maud M., two years old, by Anteeo, dam by Nutwood, 2nd
dam by Echo, which is far above the average of the young
ones usually seen. She is compactly built, with great power,
her muscular development being grand, and at the same time
she is a trotter that no one need be ashamed of. Maud M.
will be able to trot with her class, and from looks, should
have a license to throw dust in the eyes of many of her com-
petitors.

Mr. March also showed us an iron grey filly owned by
James Elliott of Napa. She ia called Jessie R.. four yeara
old, by Whippleton, dam said to be by Kentucky Hunter.
Like all the Whippleton family, she is quite speedy, and
may prove a treasure to her owner.

Having exausted the March string we next are Bhown the
trotters, under the charge of Charles Farns. He has as one
of bis patrons, James H. Laughlin, Esq., of Santa Rosa, a
devoted 'admirer of the hoise, and an estimable gentleman.
Mr. Laughlin has in training at present, May Day, bay filly,
four years old, by Anteeo, dam by Gen. McClellan; Mark L.
(who muat not be mistaken for the thoroughbred in Mr.
Cockrill's stable), bay stallion, three years old, by Anteeo,
dam by Gilpatrick, and also Beware, three yeara old, by
Anteeo, dam by Gen. McClellan. These are all very promis-
ing colta and should amply repay their owner for time and
money expended on them.

Mrs. Duncan has in the same stable Cantelonpe, two years
old, by Antelope, he by Nutwood, the dam being also by
Nutwood. If there is any merit in inbreeding, surely Mrs.
Duncan should reap a harvest from this youngster.

Myrtie is owned by B. Marks of Ukiah, and is by that
game old trotter Black Ralph, who trotted his last race away
back in the early part of the "seventies." Myrtie is coal
black, and is not only pretty to the eye, but can move along
with the best of them.

John Lawrence is the trainer for Guy E. Grosse, owner of
many good ones, his favorite being Sunset, a son of Anteeo,
dam Bessie S., who combines the blood of Whipple's Ham-
bletonian and Geo. M.Patchen Jr. He is a dark bay, with
one white foot, he stands about 16A hands, has a perfect
head, good neck and shouldera, great depth from withera to
top of arm, ia nicely coupled and magnificently put up in
the quartera. Sunset has plenty of bone, is well muscled,
and ia full of life and vigor.

Midget and Ante-op are full brother and aister to Sunset
and have all the characteristics of that noted son of Anteeo.
Midget is three years old, while Anti-up is a year younger.
The last ia a fine colt and ahonld soon be able to get a re*
cord. Sunsetfer, is one of the first grandsons of Anteeo,
and it is a great pity that it has been impossible to trace his
dam. Sunset, the aire, has strongly marked the yearling,
and it is to be hoped that Sunsetter will turn out as good aa
aire and grandsire. The last of Mr. Groaae's airing at the
track is Anti-off, who is almost coal black. He is three years
old, by Anteeo, and hia dam is what is known ae the Taylor
mare. Mr. Grosse may well be congratulated on his quar-
tette for they are a fine lot, well looked after, and good speci-
mens of the son of Electioneer, after whom they alt take.

"Is Mr. McGraw about the stable anywhere." "No sir,
he has gone to town."

Well, we will have to take a look al'the horses minus ihe
company of "Mac," whom it is always a pleasure to meet,
for hs can tell many a story of the olden time, when horses
did not receive the attention they do now, but the interest
manifested was jast as deep as that shown to-day. The
first of his stable seen is a very pretty light chestnn
years old, by a son of Saltan, dam by Geo. M. Pate',
lie bis the appearance of being a good useful anil

June 22

if Mr. MoGraw doe3 not make him a bread winner, it will be
very strange.

The nest to be seen and appreciated was a bay gelding,
four years old, by Anteeo, dam by Belmont. Here is another
inorossing of thoroughbred blood to Anteeo, that should
prove first-class, if those who prate so much about thorough,
bred infusion are correct in their theory. I. De Turk is the
owner of this well put up trotter, and with him expects to
win many a race.

"What, Dan Brown," yes, here is a horse named after my
old Petaluma friend, and his appearance would indicate that
he is as much of a stayer as Dan himself. He is two years
old. a beautiful bay, and is by Anteeo, dam by Brown's Vol.
unteer, 2nd dam by Owen Dale. Mr. De Turk is the owner
of Dan Brown, who will have a shy at some of the young-
sters on the circuit.

Ante-Button is a four-year-old Anteeo, whose dam is the
old Button mare. Now there is breeding that is hard to
beat, Anteeo 2:16j and Yolo Maid 2:14, shows what the blood
each by itself can do, now what should a combination be able
to compass. He is rather small, but is full of vim and grit
and he will be a hard one to down. Mr. De Turk, in addition
to owning the above, has also a dark bay, two years old, by
Anteeo, dam by Echo, 2nd dam, old Nancy. This is a very
fair youngster and can go a good gait even now.

Mart Rollins is training for Mr. T. J. Lndwig, a prominent
citizen of Santa Kosa, and has five horses in his stable. They
are Tom C, bay gelding, 16£ hands, who can beat 2:50 at
present. He is by Kelly Patchen, dam by Belle Alto. In
an adjoining stall we find Anteeo -Jr., a fine brown stallion,
three years old, by Anteeo, dam by Jupiter, he by Green's
Bashaw; 2nd dam by Gilpatrick.

We now come to the finest matched team in Sonoma Co.,
if not in the State, Ed and George, bay geldings, 17 handB
each, both by Alexander Button, and oat of half sisters of
unknown breeding, although they were very speedy road
mares. They are perfect beauties, being colored, gaited,
shaped and styled alike. As to speed, they can show a full
mile in 2:40 at any time, and being kind and gentle, should
bring a small fortune if Mr. Ludwig ever sells them. Santa
Ko3a Belle is another Anteeo filly, her dam being by Niagara.
There are quite a number of well bred horses in Santa
Rosa, which are Dot kept at the race track, the owners keep-
ing them in private stables. Mr. Geo. A. Tupper, Secretary
of the Santa Rosa Association, having a very fine Anteeo
mare, which he prizes highly. She is a neat bit of horse
flesh and should make a valuable brood mare. Santa Rosa
will, this year make a showing, which has never been equal-
ed in her racing annals. The purses will be large, every at-
tention paid to visitors, and those who attend from August
19th to 24th, will be sure to have a good time.

English Racine Rules.

The Racing Calendar recently received contains a draft of
the English racing rules as reported by the Committee. They
were to be submitted at Newmarket last Wednesday, with a
proposition that special meetings be held in London for the
purpose of considering them.

The proposed changes are not specially important, and
will scarcely affect the rales of racing in this country. Some
of the amendments are as follows:

On Handicapping. — The handicapper shall append to every
handicap the day and hour from which winners shall be
liable to a penalty, and no alteration shall be made after pub-
lication.

This will avoid a repetition of the Lady Rosebery trouble,
in connection with the Liverpool and Manchester oups last
autumn, she winning the former on the day the weights were
due aud after the hour fixed for the publication of the weights.
But the handicapper delayed the publication and handicapped
her on the form shown as a winner, and her owner claimed
that she was exempt from a penalty, which was allowed by
the Stewards of the Jockey Club.

Change of name. — Whenever the name of a horse which
has run in any country is changed or abandoned, his old
name aB well as his new name, or description, must be given
in every entry until the change has been published in two
"monthly calendars," or the "Book Calendar," and a fee of
£5 paid.

The amendment is adding the word "abandoned," and
requiring a fee of £5 to be paid.

Jockeys. — No jockey whose license has been withdrawn or
refused on the ground of misconduct will be eligible to ride
trials, or be allowed in any weighing-room, stand or inclos-
ure during the time his suspension from riding continues.

This is an entirely new rule, and is probably aimed
specially to keep jockeys like Charley Wood off the turf.

Entrance Money, &o. — Every horse whose nnmber has
been exhibited shall be liable for his whole 6tttke.

This rule is rarely violated in this country, for when num-
bers are up horses can only be withdrawn by reason of
accident.

Allowances. — Allowances must be claimed at the time of
entry, but omission to claim is not a source of disqualifica-
tion, and a claim for allowance to which a horse is not
entitled does not disqualify unless carried out at scale.

This is another rule that is not specially of a necessity in
this country, where secretaries and clerks of scales more
often than not calculate the weights for owners and trainers.

Weighing Equipments.— It is optional for the jockey to
weigh out or in with his bridle, and the clerk of the scales
shall, if requested, allow one pound for a curb or double
bridle, but if a horse run in a hood, muzzle, martingale,
breast-plate or clothing they must be put on in the scale and
•ncluded in the jockey's weight.

This rule, although opposite to that adopted by the Brook-
lyn Jockey Club last week, requiring j-jekeys lo make their
weight without their bridle, is already a rule iu this country.
The rule of the American Jockey Club says: "If a horse run
in a hood or clothing it must be included in the jockey's
weight." Tliis rule might be amended in this country to
include leg bandages and boots, for more than one horse hBS
run with weightB on tht ir legs.

Suirtiog— All jockeys on arriving at the starting post must
immediately place themselves under tbe starter's orders, and

every horse will be considered as having started when once
the advance flag has been raised.

If this rule ib ever adopted in this country, the authority
to order the advance flag raised will have to be invested in
the starter.

Prizes — In all sweep3takes, except selling stakes, the second
horse shall at least save his stake.

A race may be declared void if no qualified horse cover the
course according to rule.

Both of the above are new rules, and are of but little im-
portance in this country, where the second and third horses
are well taken care of.

Corrupt Practices. — If any person be guilty of or shall con-
spire with any other person for the commission of or shall
connive at any other person being guilty of any corrupt or
fraudulent practice in relation to racing in this or any other
country, they may be warned off Newmarket Heath, etc.

The power in this rule to "warn off" or to "suspend" in
that country is evidently aimed at those who put up the jobs.
In England the Chetwynd case is no doubt in view, where,
unless a man actually did the wrong charged, he scarcely
came under the ruleB. — N. Y. World.

The Suburban.

All the rank and fashion of racing America turned out
last Tuesday to witness the Suburban at Coney Island, the
weather could hardly have been improved, being cooler than
it usually is. The track was a trifle slow owing to the heavy
rains of the previous day, but was drying rapidly and was in
fair condition when the came out. Gorgo was the only Cali-
fornian to face the starter, and Senator Hearst's black mare
gallantly upheld the reputation of the State, and had it not
been for sexual troubles a few days previous, would probably
have just about won. Raceland was made a hot favorite in
the books, though when McLaughlin appeared on Terra
Ootta in the preliminary, both looking in the pink of condi-
tion, a lot of money went on him, while Badge and Bella B.
were fairly baoked.

When the nine starters, which, en passant, is the smallest
field on record, faced the starter, Mr. Caldwell soon dis-
patched them on their journey, Belle B. being the only frac-
tious one in the crowd, and she had a shade the worst of a
good send off. Volunteer went right out, closely followed
by Gorgo, until rounding the turn into the backstretch where
Gorgo closed up, and passing Volunteer as did Euros and
Bella B., went un at a merry pace, leading Eurus three
lengths past the half mile pole, with Ttaceland just clear of
the rest all bunched. Eaceland now closed up gradually,
getting to the black mare's girths at the three-quarter pole,

to hold his own in all the three-year-old races of the year.

Why He Didn't Pull the Sulky.

At the Palo Alto sales I met H. N. Smith and W. M.
Humphries. Fifteen years ago the former owned the fastest
trotters in training and also the fastest the world had seen up
to that time, while the latter had Judge Fullerton, a horse
famous for his purity of gait, great flights of speed, stopping
qualities and the glorious uncertainty which he added to
every race in which he started. As I joined them they were
resurrecting a few of the races trotted by Goldsmith Maid
and Judge Fullerton, both of which are now dead, but not
by any means forgotten. Mr. Smith told me the peerless
daughter of Alexander's Abdallah won an easy race at Fleet-
wood from the Edward Everett gelding through his instruct-
ing Doble to carry the latter to the half in a minute if nec-
essary. Doble reached the red posts at MorriBania in l:04j,
and Ben Mace guided Fullerton between them in 1:05J. His
bolt was shot before the rocks were reached, and the Maid
jogged home in 2:26.

In those days Mr. Humphries was always on hand and
drew away Fullerton's sulky as soon as unhitched, while his
linen duster aud big fan were seen on every track of any
consequence between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts.

"But I'll tell you of one," remarked Mr. Humphries,
"when I did not draw the sulky up to the cooling out shed.
It was in 1874, near the close of a very unprohtable season.
Guldsmith Maid and Judge Fullerton had been trotting
through the West that year for a percentage of the gate re-
ceipts, which were small at most towns. In the grand circuit
we met American Girl a few times, and September found ub
at Beacon Park. When we came back to the hotel from
Allston, Doble and I met three men from Dayton, Ohio.
They were going to give a fair over to their town, and it was
deoided to have Goldsmith Maid and some other horse go
there and trot.

"Of course we were willing to go as it was on our way lo
California, where we were going tor the winter, but Doble
would not couseut to any percentage at such a town. Finally
the delegates agreed to give $1,500 for each horse and pay
our expenses. As soon as it was down in black and white,
with the name of three good men at the bottom, Goldsmith
Maid, Gloster and Fullerton were shipped to Dayton.

"When the fair opened the attendance was so light that
the directors wanted to compromise and give us a portion of
the gate receipts. Thinking we had the best of the game we
refused tu let up on them, but in a short time the tables
were turned. The night before the race all the railroads

runniDg in to Dayton were deluged with telegrams from
every station along the line calling for cars. It looked as if
all Ohio wanted to see those horses trot, and next day all
the passenger and flat cars in the yard brought in loads of
spectators. By noon the town was literally alive with peo-
ple, and when a pair of the fineBt carriage horses I ever eaw
drew up in front of the hotel to take myself and family over
to the track, 1 never saw such a sight. The track which is
surrounded by hills was covered by a mass of humanity.
The Btands were full and men, women and children stood at
the least sis or seven deep all arouDd the rails of that half
mile track.

"Yes, sir, it is a fact; there were over 62,000 people on
that half mile track and ©31,000 was taken in at the gate, the
admission fee being half a dollar. I never saw a sight like
it before or since, and oh, what a race horse Fullerton wai
that day. He started against Gloster, while Goldsmith Maid
went against time, accompanied by a runner. Hickok drove
my horse, and Doble had Gloster, who they expected to win
with and had their money on. After tbe first heat which
Judge Fullerton won in 2:24J, for he did not know where
the stopping place was on a half mile track, while Gloster
could not get around the turns, they hunted me up and
wanted to know what they should do.

"Win with Fullertoo if you can, was all the advice I had
for them.

" 'But we have onr money on Gloster,' replied Hickok.

" 'Get it out,' and it did not take the pair long to place an
order in the box on Fullerton, who won in 2:23, 2:22a,

"After each heat the people crowded in about the borses
on the stretch, in such a mass that the sulkies had to be
passed out over their heads, while the horses were compelled
to pick their way to the cooling out shed.

"It was a great day and no mistake, and one that still lives
in the memory of every man in Dayton. Goldsmith Maid
trotted two heats to beat 2:20, finishing her miles in 2:21 and
2:18, the second mile being the btst on record over a balf-
mile track up to that time, and remained their until 1878,
when Raxus trotted over the Toledo track in 2:16.

"That was the day I did not pull Fullerton's sulky up to
tbe cooling out shed, and I guess about the only one, con-
cluded Mr. Humphries. — Ex.

Winnioe Jockeys at Jerome.

Tbe spring meeting at Jerome has changed the standing of
the jockeys in the way of winning mounts. For the Jerome
meeting Anderson heads the list, closely followed by Hay-
ward Sr., Garrison and G- Taylor. Tne latter has atill a good
lead in regard to the total number of wins at Brooklyn and
Jerome — fifteen at the former track and eight at the latter.

F. Littlefield has fallen off considerably. At Brooklyn he
was second with nine wins to his credit, while at Jerome he

In Hurbert Howe Bancroft's History of California, Vol. V.,
we have a graphic account of the first steamer that ever plied
in California waters. She was built at Sitka by an American
as a pleasure boat for the officers of a Russian company, and
purchased by Leidesdorf, being brought to San Fraocisco in
October, 1847, on the Naslednik. The dimensions of the
steamer were: Length. 37 feet; breadth of beam, y feet;
depth of hold, 2* feet, drawing IS inches of water, and having
side-wheels moved by a miniature engine. The fact that a
steamer was built in Alaska in the early days of steam navi-
gation is quite as interesting as the main fact iu review.
Subsequently, many steamers and sailing vessels were builfc
in Alaska by the Russian American Fur Company.

VETERINARY.

The Examination of Horses as to Soundness.

Continued.
While the shoe is off, examine the sole carefully. You
mast examine the foot carefully for any Bigns of Laminitis
or Founder. Examine the rings on the wall of the hoof.
The rings of health differ from those of Laminitis in being
regular, while those of Laminitis are irregular, and converge
towards the toe. Any signs ol previous Laminitis is an un-
soundness.

We now come to Navicular disease vulgarly termed "Grog-
gy Lameness.

Gentlemen, this is one of the commonest causes of un-
soundness among horses used for fast work, and one which
we are compelled to diagnose by the most unsatisfactory of
methods namely by absence of signs and the presence of
symptoms.

Some say if a horse points he has Navicular disease. No
such thing. Again others say if you have contracted feet
you haye got Navicular disease, but it is well kuown to you
all that both of those conditions can exist without the ani-
mal having Navicular disease. In fact it would take too much
space to do this form of lameness justice; but sufficient to
say it is manifested in two ways: First, Negative signs;
second, Positive signs.

Negative, absence of any other cause of lameness in any
other part of the foot or limb.

Positive, heat in the hollow of the heel, tenderness upon
pressure. When you pare the sole and frog, you find a red-
bluish color, right beneath the Navicular Bursae. The gait
on trotting in the disease is also very suggestive. This form
of lameness is incurable and heuce an unsoundness iu all its
forms.

band-crack, this is an unsoundness because it may become
deeper, and causes lameness, and if not, it shows a hoof in-
capable of performing its functions and retaining its integ-
rity.

ThruBh, should this be due to a local causa you can pa&s
sound, but if he is a "leggy," flat-sided horse with a thrush,
do not pass him sound as it is more than probable the thrash
is constitutional. Mr. Fearnley mentions a caBe which will
no doubt, interest you. He says, I passed a horBe lor a
gentleman, and when I examined him, I found good open
feet, but fancied him a bit flat-sided. When the horse came
home, the head groom exclaimed "wbats' 'e passed such a
flat-sided brute as this for?" About a month afterwards the
horse was a complete wreck. Thrushes on both fore feet,
contracted heels, bone spavin on off hook, large splint on
near-fore-leg — what a change in five weeks. He cost £150,
and was Bent to Tattersall'u and sold for 33 gaineas.

Having entered as minutely as space will allow into the
diseases of the phalanges, including the foot, we will now go
back to the fetlock joint, where we left off. Grasp the joint
with yonr right hand, then the pasterns, and screw your
hand round the parts, and feel for ringbones. Do the 6ame
to the top of the corontt. Lift the fringe of hair round the
coronet, and look for sand crack. Having finished the an-
terior or froDt of the limb, begin the posterior or back
part by commencing at the elbow-joint. You frequently find
a swelling at this point which is sometimes soft and fall of
serum, or hard and consisting of a fibrous tumour. It is not
an unsoundness, but it is an eyesore, But still a serious
enlargement is an unsoundness while it lasts, and again those
tumours when once removed are liable to recur. Now pass
you hand down the flexor muscles, and just above the knee
you may find a swelling on both sides of the limb where the
tendons pass through the bursae, and if the superior check
ligament is strained, yoa have the swelling most pronounced
upon the inside. This is an unsoundness if the superior
check ligament is strained.

Many claim this and its ally wiudgalls to be more evidence
of over-work than of unsoundness. It is granted there may
be no impediment to movement, but if movement cannot be
repeated a reasonable number of times without heat and
swelling of the parts, necessitating sedative means, then we
should decide such a horse unsound.

Afthis point we may find filled legs, scientifically known
as cedema of the areolar tissue of the legs. There are many
horses, if left in the stable for a few days, will come out with
tilted lege, especially those of a lymphatic or sluggish temper-
ament, but if it goes down with exercise it will not affect the
usefulness of the animal, but it is better not to recommend a
horse with filled legs, they are generally troublesome and
unsightly.

We may find a Bkin disease mallenders at the back of the
knee. This must be cured before the animal can be passed
sound. Here we also find evidences of speedy cut marks of
some form either above or below the knee, but you must bn
careful to distinguish between this and the mark of knee-cap
straps.

As far as unsoundness in speedy cat is concerned, in the
enlightened age we live in, and thepeifection of horse-boots as
prevention to injury, I do not see any reason to condemn a
horse that speedy cuts, but again, a horse that speedy cuts is
never safe for saddle purposes, and requires to have its
Bhoea removed every three weeks.

Now, leaving the kuee, pass your hand down the back
tendons. Any bulging indicates disease. If towards the
back it is the perforatus, and if laterally it is the perforans.
These lesions constitute unsoundness. Strains of these ten-
dons usually commence at the check ligaments which causes
filling at the back of the knee. Now commence again at the
knee, aDd pass your bund down the superior sessamoidean or
BUBpensory ligament. Any knotty enlargement encountered
on this ligament in auy part of its course is an unsoundness
indicating previous injury. These injuries generally occur
on the lower fourth and generally on the inside where the
lateral partis given off from the bifurcation. This is the
weakest part, and it will often commence as a small swelling,
which some trainers will say is due to the horse having
knocked himself, but in a short time said swelling terminates
in either total or partial rupture of same. Any injury to
this ligament is an unsoundnes.

Now slide your forefinger and thumb down the canon bone
for splints, which generally ocour on the inside, but are
found on the outside or scattered over the bones indefinitely.
There are five kinds of splints:

1. Simple or single.

2. Pegged or double.

3. Chain or multiple splint.

4. Splint cIobo to knee.

5. Splint involving knee or spavin of the knee.

Never pass a horse sound with a pigged or double splint,
because its appearance on both sHes is a sign of exostosis
going on beneath the suspensory ligament. Chain splints
indioate a large part of the metacarpal bone is affected, and
an animal so afflicted when put to work generally goes lame.
Never dbss a horse sound with the splint close to the knee.

It is often no larger than a pea, but it is nearly always sure
to cause lameness. Splints affecting the bones of the kuee
should never be pissed over.

Now lift the horse's limb, and hold it by the pastern with
your right hand and push aside the tendon with your left
thumb; you will thus be able to feel the back of the cannon
bone, and consequently any splints which sometimes occur
in the situation. You will also in this position feel the
upper part of the suspensory ligament before it bifurcates.
Now pass on to the fetlock joint and look for evidences of
srssamoiditis, which generally leaves a little swelling on the
outside of the bones. The slightest alteration of structure
here is an unsoundness, because a horse may again have
sessamoiditis, and you are responsible to your clients. You
must also look forevidences of neurotomy, both the high aud
low operation. Try the lateral ligaments of the pastern joint,
examine the lateral cartilages for side-bones. Lift the foot
and hold it with sole upwards and observe:

1. If the shoe is evenly worn.

2. The amount of concavity of the sole.

3. The frog, its size, shape, etc.

4. The cleft of the frog for thrush.

Having now finished examining the fore part, we will pro-
ceed along the trunk to the hind limb. We will first examine
the withers for signs of fistulas, and the ribs for any signs of
fractures. We now look for hernhe, of which there are three
kindB generally: —

1. Umbilical.

2. Ventral.

3. Scrotal.

TJoibilical and ventral hernias are objectionable:

1. From their unsightly appearanoe.

2. The bowel is more expused to external injury.

3. From the liability to become strangulated.

Great caution is requisite in giving an opinion, and you
mast find the size ol the aperture; also if the hernia is
irreducible. Again, in brood mares hernia is a serious
unsoundness, because it is liable to cause trouble during
parturition.

Scrotal Hernia will claim your attention while examining
entire horses, and if you find one you should on no account
pass him, as they are liable to become strangulated at any
moment. Again you have to determine if it is Hernia or
Hydrocele. To test for Hernia, cough the horse; for Hydro-
cele, hold a candle in a dark place close to the scrotum, and
you will find the scrotum semi-transparent. -

In passing along the near side you examine the prominent
point of the Ilium (anterior Iliac spine), which not unfre
quently is, or has been fractured. Now pass yoar hand over
the gluteal muscles and look for wasting or atrophy of same.
Also examine the coceo-femoral articulation or hip joint for
aDy depressions or bursal distentions. Now pass your hand
down the Vasti muscles and you will come to the stifle joint,
which is often the seat of lameness, you may find bursal
distension, but worse than all is where the Patella having
onoe been out (stifled) is liable to partial or complete dis-
location at any momeot. In this cise we have almost noth-
ing to guide us except the animals action while being made
to back and turn, then he may often show nothing, and he
is passed sound, and the first time he goes to work out it
comes again. Now examine the Tibia for undisplaced frac-
tures. We now come to the bock which is one of the four
principal points we must see are sound. These four points
are: eyesight, forefeet, wind and hock.

The diseases of the hock are due to concussion and sprain
entirely, except capped hock. They are:

1. Bone spavin.

2. Bog spavin.

3. Thoro pin or thorough pin.

4. Garb.

5. Capped hock.

6. Sprung bock.

Passing your hand down the front and inner aspect of the
hock, the first lesion you me liable to discover is Bog spavin
which is distension of the capsular lignment of the hock
joint. This occurs in two forms:

1st — Soft and fluctuating.

2d— The tense.

The first form is by some considered to be Hypersecretion of
Synovia and not unsoundness, especially in Clydesdale
colts.

The second form is different; it is drum like and tense to
the touch with heat and tenderness present and want
of freedom of action. This form is an unsonndness.

We now come to Bone-Spavin. This is a most important
cause of unsoundness. Recollect, of course, that it is the
small spavin you have to beware of, and not the one you
can hang your hat on. Bone-Spavin is au unsoundness. But
again, suppose a horee is brought to youwith a spayin situated
tar bftcu and you gallop or trot him hard, pat him in the
stable, and allow him to rest for 20 minutes or half an hour.
Now take him out and trot him, aud if he goes sound you
can pass him as practically sound — as he might not show
any lameness for a long time or never, unless it (the Bpavin)
should extend forward.

You must also examine the inside of the hock, for firing
iron marks. Marks of punching and causticing, and also
for remains of previous injury or disease of the joint. Be-
fore leaving spavin it is necessary to call attention to what is
commonly known as coarse hocks. This is very often the
case in young horses, and they will as a rule outgrow it.

Now examine the front of the hock for Sallenders, which
is very common in Clydesdale horses, and is like Mallenders
in the fore limbs. You are also liable to find a small bursal
distension at the tip of the metatarsal bone where the Flex-
or Metatarsi tendon is inserted. This is due to strain and
overwork. Passing your hand down the front of the cannon
bone you now come to the fetlock. Examine it the same as
we did the front one, giving special attention to the pasterns,
as they are very prone to ringbone especially in blooded stock,
which is as already mentioned an unsoundness, also look
out for Band-crack in front of the hoof.

Before passing your hand down the back of the hind limb,
examine the tail, for being docked, fractures, mange,
nicking and paralysis, lift it up, and examine the rectum for
melanotic tumors, especially in grey horses, and other mal-
formilious, giving especial attention in mares, to see there is
no rapture of the rectum caused during parturition, and
commonly known as JUljUrted.

Now examine the Ischial Tuberosity and find if it is not
knocked off, caused by the horse "backing against a post."
This injury when old and healed may never cause lameness
or defect.

Now proceed down the back of the thigh to the hock, and
you may find point of s;ime capped. This occurs in two
forms: 1st — Serous, a collection of serum in the conutctive
tissue. 2d. — Synovial due to injury and consequent disten-
sion of the bursae of the gastraocnemii tendon, where it is
inserted on the point of the Os. Calcis. Immediately above

and on front of capped hock we find a swelling on each side
this is kuown as Thorough-pin. This is a distension of the
bursae of the Flexor pedis perforans as it passes through the
tarsal groove, sometimes in Bevere form, the distension
appears below the tarsal groove. It is very often associated
with Bog Spavin, which if very large, will cauae Thorough-
pin, but again a large thorough-pin will never cause a Bog-
spavin. Many young horses, especially Clydesdales, have
thorough-pins when they are growing, but at 4 years old they
have nearly disappeared. Thorough-pin occurs sometimes
without lameness, and again it may cause great lameness.

The question of soundness is a question that rests with the
condition of the lesion and the work the horse is intended
for, but the most that can be given is a practically sound cer-
tificate.

Passing further down the back of the hock we come to the
seat of curb, which, when recent, causes lameness. When,
of old standing, calloused and well set, a horse may do any
amount of work, and never go lame. Yon must be car. fill
not to mistake ao excessive development of the cuboid bone
for a curb. Curbs are an unsoundness, but provided it is of
old standing aud the horse shows no lameness, a practically
sound certificate can be given.

Before leaving the hock it is necessary to mention a condi-
tion known as a severe strain of all the ligaments of the hock
and sometimes associated with fracture of the small meta-
tarsal bones. This canses so much lameness that it is not
likely you will be asked to examine such a subject. Below
the hock the lesions are similar to those of the foreleg, though
not so numerous, and further mention is unnecessary. Hav-
ing now finished the examination of the near side, you must
repeat the same formula on the off side, being careful to lift
the mane, as the same generally lies on that side, and look
for poll evil.

The third and last part of the examination consists:

1. Testing for lameness,

2. Testing for wind.

3. Removing the fore-shoes.

As regards the third, all considerations involved have been
gone over in treating of the fore-feet. In trotting for lameness
trot on hard ground from you and watch the movement
of the hind limbs, and in trotting towards you watch the
action of the fore limbs. The hard parts, such as bones,
exhibit disease best on hard ground. Now gallop the horse
on soft ground, and the soft parts, such as the muscles, are
tested.

Yoa must also send him forwards, backwards and turn
round and round both ways on the same area of ground he
stands on. When you gallop him, provided he is a saddle
horse, listen to his respirations, and find out if he is a
roarer, whistler, high blower, or broken winded. After
listening to the breathing have him brought to a standstill
and notice how long the breathing is in quieting down to the
normal. A high-blower is not an unsound animal; bat
roaring and whistling, which is only a stage in roaring, are
both an unsoundness. Some practitioners, on trying a
horse's wind, catch him by the head and give him a punch
in the side suddenly, or only make a feiut, end if he grunts
thoy examine him closely for roaring. But all grunters are
not roarers, and all roarers are not grunters. Others cough
the horse after trying him for wind. Have the horse backed
towards you while you Btand a short distance away, and
thus you can test the muscles of his back.

Now, gentlemen, a description of the examination of horses
as to soundness is finished. If any opinions are put forth
not based upon common sense, any suggestions you can
make will be gladly received, as this paper is intended to in-
vite discussion on a point of such vital interest to all veterin-
ary surgeons and horsemen in general. Concerning warranty
and certificates mention is unnecessary, as it would require
a paper to itself, the laws and customs are so different in
various countries.

Again gentlemen you must recollect that a mistake in the
examination of horses is far more detrimental to your reputa-
tion, than a mistake in diagnosing or treating disease. The
former is a living monument of your incompetency and
carelessness, and soon goes round ruining your reputation, at
least as far as an examiner and judge of horses is concerned.
Now again a mistake in the diagnosis of a disease — no one
is much the wiser — provided the animal gets well, and the
public are not sufficienty versed to raise any objections — but
in the rormer case a great proportion of the public can make
good judgment themselves. Another requisite is quickness
to detect departures from the normal Btate. Self confidence
is also necessary. Remember what May hew said "the
veterinary surgeon is not permitted to doubt." In conclu-
sion I may state that I should have written much more on
this important subject to do it ample justice, but I hope the
points mentioned will be sufficient to call forth au animated
discussion as to the points of a good horse, which is an ani-
imal with many good, few indifferent, and no bad points.

Haight street grounds, by ascoie of 12 to 9. The

Hanley made the circuit of the bases, giving the home-team
three rans. For the Sacramentos, Teach opened with a hit
lo center and McSorley followed with a hit for two bases.
Krehmeyer went to first on called balls. Roxbury went to
bat arid* hit to Hanley, and the ball was quickly passed to
Donahue and then to Powers, retiring both Krehmeyer and
Roxbury by a neat double play. Veach scored and Newbert
retired the side by a fly to third.

The Sin Franciscos "made four runs in the second, three in
the fourth and did not score again until the ninth, when they
batted out two rans.

One of the most brilliant games of the season was contest-
el at the Faight-slreet Park on Sunday between the Oak-
lands aud San Franciscos, resulting in a well-earned victory
for the latter by a score of 7 lo 4. The fine fielding, baiting
and base-running of both teams gave full satisfaction to the
8,000 spectators who assembled to see the game. The
chief honors were carried off by Perrier, Hardie, DoDahue
and Powers. Perrier made a difficult running catch in the
second inniDg of a long hit from Dailey's bat, and in the fifth
captured a hit on which Hardie thought he would make at
least three bases. HarJie's one-hand catch of Perrier's fly
in the fifth inning was one of the features of the game, and
was loudly applauded. The San Franciscos were first at bat,
but the side retired without scoring. For the Oaklands,
O'Neill and Smally reached first on called balls. Hardie
struck to Donahue, and was out at first, Powers quickly
fielding the ball to second, forcing Smally out. Meanwhile
O'Neill had lost no time, and while this double play was in
progress had reached home, scoring the first run for the
Oaklands. No runs were made then until the third, when
the San Franciscos, by timely hitting, a passed ball, and
errors by McDonald and O'Neill, scored five runs. In the
ninth the San Franciscos increased their score by one, Incell
taking Smally's place, the latter being unable to play. The
Oaklands made two in the eighth, and scored again in the
ninth, bat were not able to overtake their opponents. The

The Langtry Farms-

Br Gam.

The plural is UEed in speaking of the large domain, owned
by Mrs. L. Langtry, in Lake County, for when the purchase
v.'.is consumated, there were a number of farms bought, and
all thrown into one. The farms are situated about eight
miles from Middleton, in one of the prettiest valleys ever
seen anywhere. The lady has made a most excellent selec-
tion in the choice of lands, for Bitnated as they are, almost
everything can be grown on the broad acreage. Away up the
hills, almost indescernable to the eye, there is a large vine-
yard from which was made last year the most delicious wine,
a large quantity being disposed of in the immediate neigh-
borhood and is highly spoken of by those who used it. The
vineyard and orchard comprises 160 acres, and there are over
2,000 acres in grain and meadow. The farm in its entirity
comprises over 5,000 acres. The house which was selected
for a residence was found altogether too small, so a lot of
alterations and additions were made thereto and now the
building is fit to receive anyone. There are eight bedrooms,
drawing room, sitting room, dining room, bath rooms, etc.,
in addition to servants' quarters. The house is well shaded
by a number of old Oak trees, which surround it, giving it
the appearance of one of the old English mansions, which
are so frequently seen in a trip through Great Britain. The
front of the house is thickly studded with roses, while the
lawn fairly bristles with beautiful flowers of all descriptions.
A nicely laid out carriage way leads up to the house from
the main road, the borders of which are tastefully and artis-
tically arranged with trees and flowers alternating. In the
rear of the house is a vegetable garden, large enough to fur-
nish everything necessary in that line, for visitors and farm
hands. Tool shed, barns, Btables and everything apper-
taining thereto. There is a change necessary, however, in
the name of the creek that joyfully meanders through the
farm dancing and bubbling over pebbles and sand and dash-
ing occasionally against the willow branches which thickly
over hang the stream. Now it seems easy enough to give
the brook some nice sounding title, but' what will Mrs.
Langtry's friends think when they hear that the beautifal
stream running through her farm bears the horribly sound-
ing name ot Bucksnort Creek.

Really it is too bad that this unharmonious name should be
applied to this limpid Btream, when bo many appropriate
ones might be selected. A trip was taken through the farm
under the guidance of Mr. Aby, who acts as superintendent
during the absence of Mrs. Langtry. "We found the fields
heavy with Datural grasses, and also alfilerea and burr clover
in abundance. The grain of which there seemed enough to
feed all the horses in Lake County, was almost ready for the
harvest hands; several adjoining fields devoted to hay, pre-
senting a small army of laborers, who were hard at work lay-
ing in a supply of the nutritious grasB, who, when the hay is
properly housed, will pay attention to the grain. The burr
clover balls are now being eagerly sought after by the cattle,
of which there were hundreds of head browsing through the
meadow lands and hill sides.

The fair owner has shown excellent judgment in the grades
of horned Block, selected as the Nuclus, for, what will be
shortly, one of the largest herds in the coast counties. The
equine portion of the establishment is represented by Friar
Tuck, one of the best sons of the immortal Hermit, which
Mrs. Langtry purchased from Major Earn say of England,
who brought him to America last year. The following will
give an idea of his breeding:

IMPORTED FRIAR TUCK.
Bay horse, foaled 1872.

■■ Gay by Melbourne.

" PrincesB Alice by Liverpool.

" Queen of Trumps by Velocipede.

" Princess Royal by Castrel

" Queen of DiamondB by Diamond.

" Mare by Sir Peter.

" Lucy by Florizel.

*' Frenzy (dam of Phenomenon)... by Eclipse.

" Mare by Engineer.

" " by Black.

" Lass of the Mill by Traveler.

*' Miss Makeless by a son of Young Greyhound.

" Mare by Partner.

Miss Doe's dam by Woodcock.

" Mare by Croft's Bay Barb.

" Deademona's dam by Makeless.

" Old Thornton by Brimmer.

" Mare by Dicky Pierson .

" Burton Barb mare.

Friar Tuck is one of the moBt fashionably bred horses that
has been imported. The fact that he is by Hermit, who for
ten years past has proved the best sire in England, should
alone render him valuable, as Hermit has sired two winners
of the Derby in Shotover and St. Blaise; two winners of the
Oaks in Thebais and Lonelj, and such eminent performers
as St. Marguerite, Peter, Candlemas, St. Louib, Retreat,
Charon, Queen Adelaide, St. Mirin, Clairvaux and Friar's
Balsam. The Hermit sires are very fashionable at present in
England. There are only three in this country, St. Blaise.
Mr. Pickwick and Stylites.

Like all the Hermits, Friar Tuck was a very sound horse,
and ran until six years old, and won a great many races (see
calendar). His breeding on his dam's side is very rich. His
dam, Romping Girl, was a slashing race-mare, and ran third
to those famous fillies Hippia and Achievemeot in the Oaks
of 1S67, and as a four-year-old she won the Shrewsbury Cop.
In the stud she foaled Abelard, Rampage, Lancaster, Merry
Monk and F-iir Barbarian {now Id Mr. Belmont's stud in
Kentucky). It will b" noticed that Friar Tuck's fifth dam is
the immortal Queen of Trumps, winner of the Oaks and St.
Leger of 1835, and ODe of the greatest mares that ever lived.
Millgreen, by Friar Tuck, was a winner in 18S7.

This grand horse has had quite a number of mares Bent to
his harem, of which the following are the best known:

J. B. Chase's ch m Mistake by Wildidle, dam Katy Pease
by Planet.

Same owner's ch m Arathusa by Joe Hooker, dam PriB-
cilla by Thad Stevens.

Dr. C. E. Faraom's ch m Medea by Nortolk, dam Mary
Givens by Owen Dole.

Same owner's b m SiBter to Rath Ryan by Lodi, dam Eva
Bulwer by Bulwer.

B m imp. Josephine by Straun.

Several trolting mares have been sent to Friar Tuok, the
| owners being desinous of obtaining a strain of running blood
I for the trotting families.

Mrs Langtry will have in the course of a few weeks, a very
fine dairy under way, the lumber having already been
I secured and the carpenters will be put to work shortly.
There are in all about 400 head of cattle, including Duthams,
Alderneys, Jerseys, etc. For working uses there are thirty-
six head of horses and mules, four of the latter being called
Cohglan, Modjesha, Potter and Bellew, the latter being aptly
named, for I found him a powerfol kicker. All the out-
buildings have been thoroughly overhauled and repaired where
necessary, and many improvements added. The house and
ground are well furnished with water, supplied by means of
windmills, but in the near future it is the intention to cink
artesian wells. The house is most elegantly furnished, befit-
ting the station and wealth of the lady. The first glimpse
that one gets of the interior, presents a picture that is the
eqaal to anything ever described in the Arabian Nights, and
is a perfect dream to those not accustomed to the surround-
ings of the rich. Mrs. Langtry has made a brave fight
against those who would have ruined her if possible, but she
has nobly stood to the profeBBion which she adopted and
won fame and fortune, so that she is deserving of the grand
home which awaits her arrival in Lake County.

CORRESPONDENCE.

A Challenge-

Editor Breeder axd Sportsman: — I wish through your
valuable paper to inform the owners of the valuable two-
year-old filly Liunett — Messrs. Bunch & Ober, I think, are
the owners — that I will trot them a match race with my
two-year-old colt Lottery Ticket for the sum of one thousand
dollars, race to be two best in three, to tase place on Stock-
ton track within thirty days of this date, the National Asso-
ciation Rules to govern.

I will make the above amount to be trotted for more or
less, as Mr. Bunch may wish; or, in order to know who has
got the best colt, if he does not wish to match for money I
will trot my colt for fun and State honors.

The above terms are open to anyone of the colts that were
in the race with my colt on the 4th of June at Sacramento.
Very respectfully. Lafatette Fcnk.

Farmington, Sax Joaquin- Co., Gal., June 16, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — "Would you kindlv
notify horse owners in this country, through the medium of
your columns, that we are requested by Prince de Sagau, Sir
F. Johnst >ne, Bart Comte Charles Kingsly, Prince de Croj
and Chevalier G. Hyndenick, composing the Board of Stew-
ards of the Steeplechase Association of France, to publish in
the forthcoming number of our official Turf Gnide, which
will be issued on the 14th inst., the full programme of the
grand International Races, flat hurdle and steeple, which
will take place at the race track at Spa during the last week
ia July and the first week in August.

We are likewise instructed by the Secretary, Mr. E. Guille-
mot, to receive entries for these races and cable same over
free of charge. Very truly yours,

Goodwin- Bros.

New- York, June 11th, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The State Agricultural
Sooiety are now at work upon a proposition that if success-
ful, will enable us to give a very important spring race-meet-
ing, to follow the P. C. B. H. A. It is onr purpose to close
eightevents; four two-year-olds and four three-year-olds with
our regular programme for the fall meeting, August 1st. The
handicap and purses for all ages will close January 1st; no
purse less than $400, nor any amount less than $400 added
to any stake.

We expect to fce able to add $10,000 for the four day's
meeting. These meetings will be conducted with as much
care and attention as are the fall meetings of the society, and
our only purpose in giving this additional one is to encourage
the interest of breeding and racing upon this coast. Just as
soon as our arrangements are perfected, I will forward you a
list of stakes and other data pertaining to this meeting. It
will be exclusively for thoroughbreds, and taken in connec-
tion with the P. C. B. H. A., it will give our breeders extended
opportunities of realizing upon their produce early in the
season.

If we meet with the success anticipated. I can safely Bay
tbat in two years hence our stakes for this meeting will be
worth from $2,500 to $5,000 each. The greater the oppor-
tunities to realize, the more valuable will be our racing stock.
We also hope to encourage the wintering of Eastern stables
in California to the end that the improvement will be so great
as to justify their locating permanently with ue.
Very truly,

Grim's Gossip.

J. B. Haggin will go East to-day, to witness the summer
racing.

Nehusta, 2:20, who was Bold at the Rose sale to Mr. Shults,
has been bred to Pandect.

Mortimer, 2:27. by Electioneer, was sent to Hickock's
stable at the Bay District on Saturday last.

The Grand Prix De Paris was won last Sunday by Vasitias,
Pourtent second and Arelithe third. The winner would re-
ceive about §20,000.

Willfred Page has added to his stud a bay mare by Nut-
wood and black filly by Dexter Prince, dam the Nutwood
mare aforesaid.

There are quite a Dumber of stakes in which the second
payment is due July 1st. Those who have already made
first payments should bear this in mind.

Mountain Boy, who was purchased in the spring at an
Eastern sale by B. C. Holly of Vallejo, has served forty-three
approved mares since his arrival in California.

A few days ago, while in San Jose, Mr- Burke had Dona-
than work oat Eros. The game little stallion has lost none
of his speed and he should be heard from oa the circuit.

Dr. Watkins, the veterinary dentist, has made a very pros-
perous trip through Sonoma County, and largely increased
the number of his clients. He is giving general satisfaction.

The Secretary of the P. C. T. H. B. A. informs us that an
objection has been filed against Bay Rose, 2:20£, by Sul-
tan being allowed to start in the 2:20 class, National Stallion
race.

The Rathbone, Bryant W. match will come off to-day
week at Oakland unless the owner of the former pays forfeit.
The match has been slightly altered, professional riders being
allowed.

B. J. Johnson, one of the partners in the Chicago Stable,
bought on his own account Bravo (3 Bramble — Nevada), who
has been running so well in the West, for S4,500. On hie
form and breeding he is cheap.

W. Meany, the steeplechase jockey, has now charge of
some three or four horses in Matt Allen's string, and the
probability is they will be pat to the jumping business. True
Briton is one of the number.

The Horse World, published in Buffalo, says that gTeat
contests of speed are the rule rather than the exception in
San Francisco on Sundays. This is really going away from
home for news.

Matt Storm, who has been visiting San Francisco for
several days, returned to Saenmento last Tuesday. He
reports his stable in good condition and hopes to take a
couple of his best to Eureka in a few days.

On Wednesday and Friday mornings, September ISth and
20th, Messrs. Pruitt & Goff, of Kentucky, will have a mam-
moth sale of Shorthorns at the Fair grounds, Sacramento.
They are ail registered and the breeding of the best.

In 1885, after Abbie, a daughter of George Wilkes, made
her record of 2:26£, she sold for SI, 200. At the sale of Gen-
eral Tracy's horses, a short time ago, Abbie sold for $5,900.
The blood of Wilkes does not sink; it is on the rise.

Out of a total of 2,508 horses exported from Great Britain
the first four months of this year, 252 stallions and 149 mares
came to the United States, nearly all for breeding purposes,
and mainly tor farming draught and horses for all work.

Dagworth, the sporting editor of the Los Angeles Tribune,
gave as his tip, in Tuesday Morning's 'lribune, Raceland 1st,
Terra Cotta 2nd, Gorgo 3rd. I hope he had them well backed
in the books, for as everybody knows, they came in as he
predicted.

On Wednesday morning last, Orrin Hickok worked out Al-
fred S. one of the miles being completed in 2:20£. Pete Bran-
don worked the pacer Racquet, at the came time, and it was
all Alfred S. could do to beat him under the wire. Alfred S.
trotted the last half in 1:07.

Irene, the mare who has astonished western race goers,
the past few weeks, is as blind as a bat, half bred, and yet
can beat nearly all except the very first class up to a mile.
The Scoggan BroB. gave $1000 for her last week, previous to
her beating Mollie's Last.

Knap McCarthy's bay stallion Sir Archy by Altitude, won
the 2:35 pacing race at Terra Haute Indiana in three straight
heats, time 2:24}, 2:21:{- and 2:21$. lie says Geneva S. is
wonderfully well juBt now, and Knap has every prospect of
having a successful season.

Frank De Poyster has been in town for several days, trying
to get Al Farrow reinstated. I understand be has obtained
possession of the horse and wishes to enter him in several of
the meetings where the entries are not yet closed, if the
Blood Horse Directors will reinstate him.

The French racing authorities intend to allow no more
unnamed horses to run at meetings under their control. On
and after August 1st next no horse can be engaged that does
not bear a name. How moch trouble and confusion would
be saved if a similar rule were enforced at American meet-

Mr. J. C. Graves, of Keene, Ky., had a very tine mare that
was in foal, to die last week. The colt would have been born
bood, and as it was a valuable one, Mr. Graves did not care
to lose it. So he cut open the mare and got out a tine bay colt
in good condition and as lively as a cricket. The colt is now
thriving — Woodford Sun.

Last week Capt. Kidd, a well kuown Kentucky horseman,
sold at Winona, Minn., 80 blooded horses for a total of
843,000. Empire Wilkes, the trotting stallion, was sold to
Kentucky parties for £8,000. I know that a prominent Cali-
fornia hreeder has been trying to buy the horse for some
time, aud feels quite sorry that he missed thisopporlunity.

J. B Haggin has in contemplation, so I am told, the breed-
ing of several baTt-n mares, which will be stinted in Aus-
tralian time, so th.tt the progeny may be sent to the annual
yearling sales held in Sydney. This is like sending coals to
Newcastle, but still the idea seems a feasible one.

Von Bisrmrk is recovering rapidly from his attack of
paralysis, and by this time will probably have resumed his
duties at the stud. So his owner, Mr. T. E. Moore, of
Shawhen, Ky., informs me.

Albert Cooper took with him to Chicago the three-year-old
bay gelding Reward, Jim Brown-Trophy by Great Tom.
The bay gelding ran two good races at Sacramento, meeting
with exceptionally hard luck, and when fit will take a lot of
beating in his class if not outweighted.

Mr. Lambert on Thursday took Lida Ferguson, the crack
sprinter, up to Eureka on the same boat Archie Stevenson
took Susie S. (Ironwood — Jennie Mac) another short mare.
Both mares are very tit jnst now, and should give a good ac-
count of themselves.

Archie Stevenson has bred his two mares (sisters to the
unfortunate Susie S ) Avondale 7 years, and Gem of the
Mountains 5 years, to Prince of NorEolk. By the way I hear
that in all probability Stevenson will shortly be paid for his
mare who was unfortunately killed at Sacramento.

Buenos Ayres seems determined to have the best trotters
and race horses in the world. They have plenty of money
and are prepared to spend it. Prince Wilkes ought to prove
a Leviathan among the trotters, as should Goldseeker, if he
can be bought. Among the thoroughbreds, they have of-
fered $50,000 for him already, and will probably obtain him.

St. Louis has had three extra davs racing this week, not-
withstanding the fact that Kansas City had already claimed
the dates. Mr, Webster, the President of the Kansas Fair
Association, protested strenuously but ineffectually, against
St. Louis taking the extra days.

Bilsora Wilkes, pacer, locally known in Buffalo a<i the
"milk-wagon horse," made a record of 2:17| last year. It
brought an offer of §6,000 for her, which was refused. This
year she is making no time to compare with her record and
no price is offered for her. Moral — sell when a good price
is offered.

The London Live Stock Journal says the ladies of the
American colony in that great emporium fancy the English
saddle horse more than the American trotter. For riding,
yes; but for driving, the American trotter is incomparable.
The American girl has herself — better than a 2:40 gait. The
dude still lower.

The Bo;ton stallion Ready Boy, with a four-year-old re-
cord of 2:27^, has Bince shown a mile in 2:21, it is said, and
is likely to be entered for the $10,000 for stallions of 2:19 to
be trotted for in the Fall at Boston. Some think the 2:21 re-
port over loaded — an outcome of beans.

The mare Darkness, which made a record of 2:21} at Hart-
ford last year, has been sold for a roadster. The bid she
made for record was beyond her powers on the track. One
mile was too much for her. She can make a quarter at a
two-minute gait. Her quarter is too much for the other
three-quarteis.

A full brother to Miss Ford was &old the other day among
the Belle Mead yearlings to the Dwyers for $3,500. 53 head
in all were sent up from General Jackson's famous place,
and the average $b2S is very creditable and certainly profit-
able.

Mr. Marcus Daly, of Bitter Root Breeding Farm, has sent
to B. C. Holly, of Vallejo, for three Woodnut fillies. Mr.
Holly I as furnished two himself and purchased another good
one outside. He will take them and two mares bought by
Mr. Daly from Mr. Corbitt, San Mateo, to Montana when he
starts with his own string early in July.

Mr. Woodard, the owner of Alexander Button, sire of Yolo
Maid, has a four-year-old mare by his stallion that paced a
mile last week in 2:224,, and Bhe is still very rank. She is
called Belle Button, and will surprise many of the knowing
ones when she comes to the po-t.

Ernest Rogers has just painted a life like portrait of Elec-
tioneer for Seuator Stanford, who is, I hear, very favorably
impressed with it. With perseverance Rogers ought to make
one of the best animal painters in the States. Electioneer,
J. M. R , and several others that I have seen, are very accur-
ate representations, while the coloring is exceptionally good
in every instance.

Mr. James P. Kerr is now the sole proprietor of the
Breeder amd Sportrman, the be=<t weekly turf paper pub-
lished on the Pacific coast. Mr. Kerr for years and years
was the financial manager of the Call, and there is not a
newspaper man in San Francisco who does not know him
who is not indebted to Mr. Kerr for innumberable courtesies
and kindnesses. — Racing World.

Mr. C. J. Hamlin, of Buffalo, has written the Sire Bros.,
agreeing to their offer to trot one of their horses by George
Wilkes against his mare, Belle Hamlin. As the Sires named
Harry Wilkes and Rosalind|Wilkes for Mr. Hamlin to choose
from, Je selects the former, who has a record of 2:13A. Time
and place has yet to be agreed upon, but the event will no
doubt take place at a grand circuit meeting in August, prob-
ably at Rochester or Hartford.

Many old turfites and breeders will be surprised to learn
that Blair Athole carries the final "e." "Pavo," the famous
English writer, says: "At his owner's special request, I
stood Bponcer whilst on a visit to Spring Cottage in the colt'B
yearling days, and selected that title on Mr. I'Anson express-
ing a desire for a double name, as in the case of Blink Bonny
which represented 'beautiful view,' wherewith the Blaire
Athole district is so bountifully supplied."

The Belmont run on the 13tb, was the first time Hayward
rode the winner. In 1870, 1871, 1S73. 1S74 and 1875, he was,
in turn, unplaced on Stamps, Monarchist, Waverly, Brigand
and Warwick. He was second on Fiddlestick in 1876, un-
placed on Magnum Bonum in 1877, third on Turrene in
1880, unplaced on Forger In 1881 and second on Oneka in
1887. He did not ride in the race in 1872, 1878, 1870 188°
1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1SS8.

Dan McCarty has taken his Btiing of trotters, upwards ot
twenty, to Fleetwood. The}- seem in good trim and no worse
for their journey from Obieago. A few days after tbeir
arrival Bedford (by Altamoot) trotted a half in 1:13; Kitty
Wilkes trotted a quarter in 35; Hidalgo, who is by Sultan,
trotted a half in 1:12, and several of Dan's other California
trotters showed good halves and quarters. Dan has had to
pay forfeit in the four-year-old stakes at Rochester and New
York as he had not taken his crack on with him.

Kingwood, formerly the property of Sir Geo. Chetwynd,
died on his way out to Monte Video.

Last season Lillie Stanley was given one hundred and
thirty odd heats between 3:00 and 2:30 in her work, and a
few below the fastest time named, but none faster than 2:27.
She trotted in her races to a record of 2:17$. Now, we hear
of her going early in June in 2:30 and 2:19^ Ergo! she will
beat two minutes in her r«re« t*><<" fall. Nest-ce pas?

The Petaluma track is getting very lively. To the large
number already quartered there, there have been added this
week the stables of Messrs. J. H. White of Lakeville, A.
Zane of Healdsburg, and Dr. Wm. Finlaw of Santa Rosa.
Mr. White's stable (12 head) includes Kitty Almont, by
Tilton Almont, a candidate for the 2:30 list, and a promising
three-year-old colt by Director, dam by Gen. Benton.

The Chicago Horseman has a front page picture this week
of Don Jose, the property of Theodore Winters. When Don
Jose left California he was reputed to be by Joe Hooker, but
the Horseman has discovered that the sire is Grintseeul. In
n tabulation it is made Grinstead as the sire and carried out
accordingly. Stick to the trotter, dear Horseman, you arc a
success in that line.

Mr. S N. Straube informs me that the grand two-year-old
Castro (CloviB-Carrie Stoner), owned by himself and Dan
MacCarty, died last Saturday from inflammation of the bow-
els. He was an exceptionally promising colt, having easilv
trotted quarters in forty gecondB. Mr. Straube ah-o
says that he sold last Monday, to C. Saxe, Madera, the brown
suckling, one month old, by Clovis, dam Fannie Loring, 2;34,
by General. Evidently colt raising in the Fresno district is
profitable when handled by an experienced breeder.

Wallace's year book for 18S8 shows that S37 pEcers have
records of 2:30 or better, but remarkable to relate, the side-
wheel fraternity can hardly boast of the showing made in the
list of pedigrees. Of the entire number there are 299 who
have no pedigree whatever; 47 of them can show a sire but
no dam, while 185 others of the sidewheelers have to stand
before the world with dams not traced. We thus find that
of 837 with records, 531 of them are faulty in ancestery.

Doddering Dodds fancies Racine, if the appearance in his
Canadian Sportsman of a pirated reproduction of our picture
of the stallion may be accepted as evidence of liking, rather
than proof of absence of ordinary journalistic honesty.
Dodds does not even handle a shooting stick well, or he
wuuld have been more careful in punching out tbe name of
the horse, artist and the imprint of this paper when he was
stealing the picture His only redeeming vice is good taste,
as shown by appropriation verbatim of our text relative to
the cut. Good bye Dodds.

The Chicago Breeder's Gazette adheres to the opinion,
expressed last year, that the importation of draft horses this
year will be less than it was last year, with lower prices and
better horses. The American buyers and importers have
learned something to improve their methods of the past.
The European breeder or seller has put up jobs on them, and
the Americans have had their eyts opened to the practice.
They can do better at home by breeding to sound stock than
in crossing the ocean to badly cross their breeds.

That troubles never come singly is illustrated in the case
of Capt. Thos. E. Moore, of the Cedars, near Shawan, Bour-
bon County. Four weeks ago he lost by fire his stables and
S50,000 worth of tine trotting stock, and now the great Victor
Von Bismarck, the head of his stud, is paralyzed and cannot
recover. He was valued at S50.000, and is the sire of Blue-
grass Hambletonian, 2:20£, Edgemont, three-year-old record
2:21, and others. Bismarck is owned by Mr. G. G. White, of
Paris, who purchased him recently but was not to take charge
of him until the close of the season of 1S90. He stood at
$300 aud his book is full for 1S90.

The Breeders' Association have made a nomination race of
the free-for-all which did not fill on June 1st. Horses will
not be required to be named until Oct. 9th., with snch
horses within reach as Stamboul 2:14;}, Fa von a 2:15, Lot
Slocum 2:17J, Lillie Stanlev 2:173, Sable Wilkes 2:18. Ben
Ali2:22, Dawn 2:19A, Maggie E. 2:1S£, Alfred S. 2:21 and
several dark ones that might be added to the list. There
should easily be subscribers enough to till the race and give
as grand an exhibition of speed as any reasonable man conld
wish for. Entries will close August 1, 1S89, and as starters
need not be named until seven days before the race, nomi-
nators will have every opportunity to transfer their sub-
scriptions should they be unabie to start the horse originally
intended, but as yet unnamed for the nomination race.

Quite a number of breeders of trotting horses seem to think
that it is not important for them to join the Breeder's Asso-
ciation at the present moment, because they have no colts to
start at the meeting this fall. If these gentlemen will read
the list of entries we published last week they will find that
if all breeders looked at the matter in a similar light, instead
of the ninety odd names now in the membership list, the
association would consist of eighteen members. The fall
meeting is already an assured success, and as it will have
been due to the enterprise and enthusiasm of a comparatively
small number of the breeders, it has been suggested that the
hangers-back be mulcted for their tardiness by increasing tbe
membership fee after 1SS9 to double or treble the very moder-
ate sum now required.

As there are probably a good many horse owners who are
too busy to trouble themselves about rules and conditions, it
may not be out of place to explain here that a nomination
race is one in which tbe subscriber buys the privilege to
name at a certain date the horse which shall be started on
his subscription or entry. In the present instance let us
suppose Messrs. Jones, Smith aud Brown to each bu> a
Drivilege, i, e,t make an entry for the free for all nomination
race. Messrs. Jones and Smith may each have only one
horse apiece that would be fast enough for the class, whilst
Brown may have two to select from; yet Brown pays no
more for bis entry than either Jones or Smith. To equalize
this, however, Jones and Smith have yet the privilege, should
their horses break down or Bhow their inability to Mart at
any time prior to October, 9, when horses must be named, to
transfer their subscripiton to Robinson or any other owner
whose horse may in the meanwhile have developed unlooked
for speed. Back East this class of races has become very
popular, and there have been several instances whore origirjn1
subscribers (whose horses were unfit to start) are said '
have sold their subscriptions at a premium, so great w*
demand from persons who earlier in the season bad
that they would have horses fit to go in those stakes, a:
therefore made nu provision for them.

ROD.

Dr. C W- Aby. Champion Angler.

The genial manager of the Guenoc Stock Ranch in Lake
County, Dr. C. W. Aby, beside being an equine authority, is
a sportsman of the keenest sort, as the following letter re-
ceived from him the other day attests. He says:

Opportunity otlered this afternoon, to try your teaching at
fishing. I went to the lake with seventeen worms at 4 p. m.
I used up my worms in one hour and brought home 42 cat-
tish and two carp. I used two hooks as before, and made
seven doubles or fourteen fish in seven throws. I have
never had the "buekague" before, but from the symptoms, it
mast have been the trouble. Sly first throw was received
in tbe mouth of a one-half pounder. My next brought 2 to the
bauk— then my knees began to shake. Tbe perspiration
simply poured off me. I shook like a'storin-toBsed willow. I
eat down, and still they bit most terribly. They tinned me
fearfully. I let fourteen get away in my haste. I hooked
one that must have weighed four or live pounds, in my
agsitation to get him on terra firma, I let him loose. My
basket was chuck full. (The same we used.) I was on the
opposite side of the lake, from where we were How I wish
I had yon here now. Mr. J. W. Wilson, President Capital
J. C , Sacramento, is at the Harbin Springs. I am going to
try to get him down for a day's fishing.

I'll back myself, against any and all comers on the Guenoc
Lake, for a wine dinner; tbe dinner to be prepared by my
"colored Frenchman." The loser of the match, can select
the wine. I will take you for my judge, and the other fellow
to select one, and the two, select the third. Each 6ide can
invite four guests. Entrance free. Catch weight, rod and
line. Thoroughbreds only can enter. Match to come off
any time, on or before 15th of July.

Anglers Luncheons.

Even anglers, innocent, wrapt and contemplative though
they may be, are subject to some of tbe baser needs that are
found in folk not bo gentle, such, for instance, as a regularly
recurring desire for toothsome food while upon the stream.
One of our most highly appreciated exchanges, the English
Fhhing Gazette, recently invited suggestions for luncheons
to be carried when fishing, and these are some of the replies:

"You are right in your editorial note about Mr. A. George's
portable pasty. The subject has also found out a lover and
patron of 'German sausage,' to whom I beg to offer recipe
for a 'portable dram' to finish up with; and it will become
more necessary from the recent licensing of 'knacker's flesh'
viz , horse, ass and cum multis alius hoc genus. In addition
to usual flisk have a one-ounce phial; in it place one table-
spoonful of strong mustard and a teaspooDful of "salt. At
farmhouse or, if in Ireland, cabin, where hot water oan always
be got, mix phialful into a tumbler of hot water as soon as it
can be got; drink it. I can assure 'J. H. W.' he'll be quite
tit and empty enough to enjoy another of the 'highly fla-
vored" sausages 'wrapped in tinfoil,* which certainly formerly
I found 'toothsome' in Russian Finland, and when depend-
ent on monastery diet off Cape Papas, in the Morea; not to
say some forty years ago they were 'toothsome' adjuncts to
praties and salt on the west coast of Ireland. But in those
antediluvian times 'German sausages' were made of bona fide
pig. I should, above all things, recommend 'J. H. W.' to
cease 'trusting in Providence' either for 'lunch' or 'fish.'
That's all a myth now-a-dayB. If 'J. H. W.' finds dram a
leetle too strong, dillute it with a second spoonfnl o( boilins
water, and make two parts, taking second part an hour after
the first. If taken in this form 'J. H. \YV will be amazed at
his appetite for supper."

Another correspondent writes: —

I herewith adi my quota of likes and dislikes. Personally
on a sultry summer's day, I find flesh meat in any form
objectionable, especially od account of the attractions it pre-
sents to flesh and numerous other k'nds of flies. Also many
forms of cooked meats soon dry and eat bard; if in pies or
rolls, are apt to sour or to acquire flavors not intended by
the cook, and if seasoned sufficiently to prevent that they
then require the assistance of a larger flask than (if I under-
stand "Fixator E-W aright) our friend is desirous of carry-
ing, I fancy "P. E ." would prefer a lunch free from all such
objections. Now, gingerbread, with or without cheese, is
handy, very tasty, and doe* not dry.

Biscuits and raisins are very satisfying. Mince pies made
of froit [not meat) are also good, and when the mince-meat is
well flavored with rum, keep moist and fresh for a long time.

Another correspondent adds his qnota: —

My favorite lunch is egg and raisin pie, made with not
too rich a crust, or it is apt to break up in the pocket or
basket; say half a pound of butter to a pound of flonr. It
is made somewhat as follows: Line a mould the size of the
pie required with paste, and put into the pie so formed as
many sultana raisins and candied peel as may be desired;
then nearly fill the pie up with the nicely-sweetened egg
custard; finally, cover with paste and bake. These pies will
beep good and moist for a week or two.

If tbe day is not too hot there are few drinks which equal
oatmeal and water. To all who enjoy a hard-boiled egg and
yet fear the consequences, only let them be well cooked — i. e.
boiled for twenty minutes or longer— and they may eat them
with impunity.

To which the editor adds:

We shall recommend giDger beer with gingerbread and
cheese, but think the ginger might be omitted with advan-
tage in both instances. Hard-boiled eggs are favorites of
ours for a fishing lunch, only never eat one after dark. We
shull never forget one hard-hoiled egg we had; we were walk-
ing back, after a day's fishing no the Barle, across the moor
from Withy Pool to Exforrt We can only repeat, Don't put
your teeth into a hard boiled egg after dark— unless you as
good as saw it laid.

Another:

For long days with tiriDg walks I have tried a variety of
."are, and cau find nothing equal to a couple of thin slices of
home-made bread and butter. Brawn or ham creates thirst,
and the latter is an enemy to be dreaded. Of liquors, too, I
have tried many kinds, the objection to most being that a
hig flask must be carried. Last summer I solved tbe prob-
lem to my owu satisfaction, aud now I carry a very small
flask tilled wfth strong lime juice cordial A cup of water
with half a dozen drops of the cordial, makes a pleasant and
refreshing drink. Blue Ribbonitee, note.

The eiitor remarks again:

"We advise any one who thinks of trying "Blue Dun's"
^^ ^II^^akB^Qnie^ldJ>randY with them, in case th^

"cordial" does not agree with them. We tried the lime juice
cordial once, and nothing but being well insured enabled us
to survive it.

On the subject of pastes as attractive lures a correspondent
writes:

In mv opinion the secret Sir W. Elliot wishes for is "oil of
worms." This delectable compound used without doubt to
be freely patronize i in a by-gone age, and was supposed to
be irresistible. The worms were collected and gently stewed
or rendered down in a saucepan digester till they went al-
most to nothing, the resulting oil being carefully preserved as
something more precious than otto of roses. The fragrant
composition being freely smeared upon the angler's bait, was
presumably most attractive to tbe fish, and, indeed, if made
from brandlings, one can well imagine it to have been in-
describably luscious. Traditions are not wanting of trout
following the footsteps of the angler armed with this inval-
uable preparation across foity acres of wet mowiDg grass to
his own front door.

Notes of Fishinsr and Things.

As the anglers go out and the word comes in, there is
hilarity and joy. With good equipment and a chosen resort,
the city man, inspired with the sentiment that no pent up
business confines his vigor — the boundless spread of field
and stream now rouse his fond endeavor. To catch fish aDd
tell the truth are his main objects in life. All is fish
that comes to his line, and the lyin' of another is not
in his way. Rod and reel outward bound. The reel will
be more apparent after the feast upon the day's catch, if
there be virtue in good cheer, glow in the "rosy" as con-
vivia' Dick Swiveller fondly named it. Convivial is a sort of
consin-German to convalescent, and the gaiety follows the
condition as health assures and congenialitv resumes away.
There be anglers who resemble the great English jurists of
mellowing memory. Lord Stowell and Lord Eldon— they
had stomach for any given quantity. It is to these that
must be attributed the stories about anglers' exaggerations.
When wine is in wit is out — for the time beiug; yet there is
another old saw which cuts to the contrary; in vino Veritas
—freely translated to tbe effect: truth lies in wine. The
holder cannot yield beyond the stakes deposited. It is a
case of hear [hie!) lies; which, in parity of Ancient Pistol's
"convey," can be denominated vaporized utterance — gas, but
not phlogistic, and it is not so culpable as the "equivocation
of the fiend that lies like truth." "What is the story of a
string of fish, trophy trove by a genial friend of magnifying
mouth, to the honest friendship of wine companionship?
Lord, how this world is given to lying!

Not a tithe of it beloDgs to tbe stories of fishers. They all
do it. Captain Bobadil was merely the type of rare Ben
Jonson's period. He could slay an army by twenties in
sword play at a time. The timorous romancer of his fishing
luck, who has only catfish and suckers to his elegant outfit
and a toilsome day, should not look the desperation he feels
as he protests that all his catch were trout, and such speckled
beautieB. radiant in gold and glistening of silver dots and
spots! He has only to recall the Indian Rajah who boldly
held his own idea against the accomplishment of the scien-
tific masters of mechanics who endeavored to reason with
him that steel was the product of iron. "What," shrieked
the rajah: "steel from iron? Why, next you will tell me if I
put a donkey in the furnace I shall draw forth a horse!"
Suckers must sometimes serve for trout, even at the inn.

The iron sinks into the soul of the gentle angler as he
contemplates the hazards of the return home. He has prodi-
gies to relate — little to show. The deputed one of his set
presents him with a cork. It is discouraging Even ^Mun-
chausen is given respectful attention. Jules Verne and all
around the world he appropriates as his own, after the man-
ner that Satan attempted on the blessed Savior, is taken in,
ad libitum, and here, at a little bit of a tentative fabrication,
too innocent to merit severe censure, the sharp rebuke comes:
'■0, what a whopper!" It is unparliamentary and crushing
to experimental endeavor. At it the tough experienced
practitioner smiles and wins eclat by something bigger and
more circumstantial. The dejected tyro, restive in his
gloom, has no betteT resource than had the Lady Kumford,
who, baulked in her garden party by the irate and jealous
Count, took sweet revenge in pouring boiling water over his
most beautiful and precious flowers. To impeaoh the angler
spoils no fish in market open to all for purchase.

Silver is sure bait when flies and worms fail. It is on the
homestretch the racer wins — on the way home the unsuccess-
ful angler retrieves and lands himself an applauded winner.
At poker it is all in the draw. Likewise in fishing— much
depend* upon the luck of some other who has commercial
ideas to be encountered on the way, and a reputation is
thereby made or saved in angling. To return without a
basket is something not to be mentioned. Fill your basket —
no matter how — and with stiff' heel and defiant upper lip the
angler can confront his critical neighbor most dubious of his
skill.

Notwithstanding the similarity of orthography and pronun-
ciation, anglers are not angels, nor are angels anglers. Syd-
ney Smith's lawyer brother, reproached by a physician that
his profession rarely made men angels, retorted upon his
medico friend, "No, your brotherhood have first chance."
In like spirit it may be said that fishers are preceded in fic-
tion.

The tale of the sea-serpent has yet to be unfolded, and
anglers have no responsibility in it. Anecdote will illustrate
in cases where logic fails. The Irishman who leaped from a
burning building in disarranged nether dress, with his trous-
ers hurriedly pulled on hind side before, cried out to his
comrade in response to the inquiry as to his condition, after
taking a confusing look at his lower raiment: "No, Pat, I'm
not kilt, but I fear I am fatally twishted." Only in twisted
condition is the tongue of the amateur angler who revels in
the boast of his performance with no more intention of harm-
ful representation than the gay maiden has in pridefnl men-
tion of her first beau. It doesn't harm the fish; it tickles the
maiden — the one and the other. Let the fishing go on— the
stories will be the cuBtom — to be continued. Bill Travers
remarked to a dear old angling friend, 'Hank, I'll bet that
you and I can tell more lies than any other two men in the
city, and I'll agree not to open my mouth."

With the begiuniug of the season there is room for all. To
the music of the lyre and the graces of the anglers, joyously
comes the rod aud moves the reel.

United States Commissioner of Fisheries, Livingstone
Stone, accompanied by Dr. Bean and Captain Carroll, of tbe
Smithsonian Institution, are in tbe city, pending their
departure to investigate the habits, spawning seasons and
numbers of salmon in the rivers of Alaska. An Act of the
last Congress authorized the action now being taken, and it
is possible that a salmon hatchery will be established in
Alas.

Distrustful Trout and Salmon-

Several years ago the great naturalist, Frank Buckland,
whose death produced profound sorrow to the lovers of birds
and animals in every part of the world, called attention to
the fact that salmon trout, and other game fish could not
be caught by means of artificial Hies in certain lakes and
streams in England. There was no trouble in catching them
with this sort of bait in the lakes and streams in Scotland
and Wales, and in those portions of England where scientific
fishing tackle had not long been used. The fish in the
streams that had long been visited by town anglers, however,
were not to be tempted by artificial bait of ay sort. Dur-
ing the laBt two or three fishing seasons it is reported that
these fish, which are the joy of the angler, will not touch
the May fly, which is the article of food of which they were
formerly the most fond, and which has generally been em-
ployed for bait by fishermen Bince artificial flies, grubs and
minnows have been rejected, Thev have apparently come
to distrust everything but vegetables and animalcule.

A scientific angler in a communication to an English sport-
ing paper states that he spent an entire day trying to induce
some tine trout to accept the tempting food he offered them.
He displayed before their eyes and within reach of thoir
mouthB some twenty varieties of artificial flies, grubs and
fish, but they were all looked upon with disdain. He then
baited his hooks with May flies, but the cautious fish were
nor to be tempted by these. Presently some May flies ap-
proached his boat and, as is usually the case, some of them
touched the water and were held fast. Some of the trout
and other game fish rose to the surface, surveyed the crea-
tures, and then slowly moved away. They were evidently
hungry, for they searched the sand and mud on the bottom
of the lake in quest of food. If they found small insects
they would eat them.

The conclusion of this angler was that these fish have
been educated up to a point where they have become useless
to the fisherman. Acquired knowledge has made them over-
cautious. They are no longer credulous, like the trout and
salmon in the streams which few fishermen have visited.
They know quite too much to be imposed upon. They have
seen some of their former friends and companions take
tempting-looking insects and small fishes into their mouths,
after which they were pulled about in the water against their
will, and finally drawn into a boat or thrown upon dry land.
They are not willing to run the chance of being treated in
this ugly fashion. In fact, in his opinion a race of fish has
been evolved by "natural selection" that decline to touch
artificial bait or May flies. As their numbers are not lessened
by anglers, they have multiplied. The ignorant and entirely
uneducated sorts of fish have diminished in number. Only
the kinds of fish survive that decline artificial bait and May
flies- It is another example of the "survival of the fittest."

Aud now comes a distinguished disciple of Darwin and
Spencer, who declarer that the former inhabitants of Alaska
were very highly civilized, and made use of artificial bait for
catching salmon. He draws his conclusion from the circum-
stance that the salmon of Alaska will not touch artificial
bait or flies. ihey learned from their remote ancestors to
avoid them under penalty of being caught. The consequence
was that the salmon multiplied. The effect was bad, how-
over, on the inhabitants. Not being able to procure brain
food, they declined in intellect and diminished in numbers.
At present tbe salmon of Alaska are among the wisest of
their race, while the men stand very low in the scale of in-
telligence.

Those who address inflammatory communications tons,
requesting scarification of the State Fish Commissioners, are
requested to write with equal warmth either to Hon. Jos.
Routier, Routiers, Sacramento County, or to Hon. J. Downey
Harvey, No. 4 Sutter Street. San Francisco. The gentlemen
named are de facto Fish Commissioners, and may be so de
jure.

Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is credited
with the following: —

A young minister came to an old minister, and said, "I
cannot get on; I have been preaching now for three years,
and the people won't repent, and they won't believe, and
everything seems to be a failure." The old minister said, "I
will tell you what is the matter, John. You don't know how
to fish. When a man goes out to fish he takes a beautiful
pole, and he puts on it a nice line, and puts on that a deli-
cate hook, and he puts a beautiful fly on that, and then he
drops the fly very softly into the stream. That is not the
way you fish. When you go out to fish you take for a pole a
weaver's beam, tie on the end a cart rope, and put to the end
of that a pot hook, and then you bait it with a snapping
turtle, and then you splash into the stream, aDd you say,
"Bite or be damned."

A correspondent writes to the trout at Blue Lake in the
Sierras:

They are not so round as brook trout and their meat is
yellow. It is tbe same way in the Highland lakes, which
are about a quarter of a mile apart — one pouring its waters
into the Mokelumue and the other into ifie Stanislaus; you
have to fish from a raft at night, as the trout will not rise in
the daytime. Fine, hard fish are the best cooking, and the
crack way of preparing them is to lay them on a hot rock. If
you don't believe it, ask Jim Budd; he never will have fa
trout cooked in any other manner since I showed him how
it was done. We were up together, fishing down a canyon,
and I got quite a distance ahead. I looked back and saw
Jim sitting on a rock. It was an hour ot so before I turned
and started up stream, and there sat Bodd on that same ruck
— he hadn't stirred. 'Hello, Jim!' says I, "what are you do-
ing?" 'Fishing,' said he. I walked up, and what do you
think he had?— thirteen large bullfrogs! He had caught
every one of them with a hook aud line. I learned after-
wards that it is a favorite practice of his to lag behind and
catch bullfrogs; it is less laborious, and he has the fun of
seeiDg tbem lump. I suspect he eats the legs, but I never
caught him in the act. Well, it was towards night and we
started back towards our horses, two mile up stream. Dark-
ness comes on suddenly in that rarefied air and in those
deep canyons, and in a few minutes it was so dark you
couldn't see a man five feet away. We bad to feel along
with our poleR. When we reached the horses it was late.
We were hungry and wet. I built a fire, heated a stone,
and laid my catch on it, sprinkling the trout with some
whisky that by chance happened to be left in the flask. I
tell you they tasted good! aud the best of it is, they are good
next morning when cold, if you cook .them that way. It's
better even than frying them in bacoo lard like doughDuts.
Trout baked on a rock, and venison, pork ond beans cooked
in a pot set in a hot hole in the ground make a royal meal
in the mountains."

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possi-
ble notices of wlielps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of graudpareuts, colors, dates and breed.

Old Black Joe again.

Editok Breeder and Sportsman:— I am in receipt of a
letter from W. E. Pope in reference to Old Black Joe aa fol-
lows:

36 Westgate Road.
Newcastle, Tyne, May 28, 'S9.
Dear Sir: The reason that I cannot give you the pedigree
of my black pointers is this: I never show or exhibit them,
therefore I have not got their names registered in the Stud
Book. The dog I sent, which was mate to the bitch which
got lost overboard, is two years and four months old, and the
last bitoh I sent you is one year and ten months. I shall be
most happy to furnish you with any information which lies
in my power. I remain, dear sir,

Yours faithfullv,

W. E. Pape.
pp Geo. C. Pape.
This corroborates my statement to Mr. Allender, that so
near as I could figure Old Black Joe was pupped in February,
1887, and should set at rest, once and forever, those who
know so much about the age of a dog.

James E. Watsox.
San Francisco, June 17, 1889.

[It would seem that Mr. Pape should recall the sire and
dam of Old Black Joe as readily as the date of the dog's
birth. Eegistry in the stud book cuts no figure in the matter.
However, it may be considered settled that the dog was
whelped in January, 1887, and was therefore eligible to the
Derby in January last, — Ken. Ed.]

Mutilation.

There is no donbt that mutilation ot all forms is very slow-
ly, bat still steadily, on the decrease. I hear no more of
"worming" dogs' tongueB; taile are no longer bitten off; and
the barbarous fashion of cropping off the ears of some dogs
close to the head (sometimes— horribile dicta—these appen-
dages were pulled out by the roots) has disappeared. But I
consider I am still behind the age in the practice of "crop-
ping" the ears of dogs at all. It is a practice that will dis-
appeiir in time; of this I am perfectly convinced, in spite of
the present half-hearted action of the Kennel Club; but none
the less do I consider that it behoves every humaue lover of
the dog to make— however small and insignificant each such
i-iflnp"<-e may be— his stand againsi it, says John Brown in
the Asian.

It is not so very long ago that Pugs and Dalmatians had
their ears completely severed off. A pug of a choice strain,
with a pair of unmutilated ears, was as rare a creature as a
fox-terrier with a full tail; and the round bullet earless head
was considered a thing of beauty; but this fashion is happily
no more, and the pug's small delicate folding ear, is now, and
deservedly, one of his most admired points. The barbarity
had more "in it, too, than the mere cruelty of the original
operation. The cavity of the ear being exposed to all weath-
ers inflammation and canker of this delicate organ were only
too' frequent, and comptete deafness not uncommon. Nor
wae there any reason for the mutilation beyond a fancied
improvement in the looks of the animal— a fancy that I know
now to have been quite mistaken. Cropping the ears of
fighting dogs, such as the old boll-terriers, had at leaBt this
much reason on its side, that otherwise the ears became con-
venient points for an opponent to seize; and, as a matter of
fact, when the ears of these canine gladiatorB were not so
cropped, they were almost always torn to shreds. There is
a similar show of reason for the practice of "dubbing" fight-
ing cocks. So, too, the costom of "rounding" the ears of
fox-hoonds is considered to aid in preventing these appenda-
ges from being torn by the thorns in covert. But even were
it not so two wrongs do not make a right; and I contend
that the "oropping" with which I am at present more es-
pecially concerned, which has no show of reason beyond the
appearance of the dogs, and which entails an operation far
more painful than the above, Bhoald be altogether done away

The mntilation to which I allode is that of cropping the
ears of suoh dogs as the Great Dane, the bnll-terrier. the
white English terrier and the black-and-tan. These dogs are
crooned to make their ears stand upright like darts, and with
a certain inward curve; and, though no doubt dog-fanciers
would at first recoil with horror at the idea of an nncropped
bnll-terrier I firmly believe they would very soon get over
the shock 'and eventually actually appreciate the change,
regarding 'the former custom much as I now do that of
croDDing pugs. I nave, in fact, a striking example before me
in the case of the Irish terrier. These dogs were formerly
crODPod to obtain the prick ears; I then had classes at all our
bis shows for both cropped and nncropped specimens; and
since the Irish Terrier Club has deoided against cropping
altoaether. It is rare now to meet a man who prefers the
prick ear specimens to the handsome drop ears of the un-

°riPhave beerT'mucb. disappointed at the last action of the
Kennel Club in this comparatively small, bat in the interests
of our dumb friends, not unimportant question. I had hoped
tw T>r Turner's resolution would have beeu accepted. This
resolution was that any dof iborn after the 1st of July, 1889,
and which had been cropped, would be ineligible to compete
for anv prize offered at any show held by the Kennel Club.
Had this resolution been passed, it would have been a most
important step towards the desired end. It would not have
prevented cropped dogs be.ng exhibited at the numerous
other shows held all over the old country-not even at those
shows held und. r Kennel Club rules; but I am certain that
the ruling would have had a very strong moral effect, and
that in course of time the senseless and cruel pract.ee would,
tnonch dving hard, die out. Unfortunately 1 learn that Dr.
Turner's humane proposal has been defeated id favor of an
amendment that the question should be postponed till the
next meeting of the Club; this next meeting, in the ordinary
co'sTo tfrings, will not take place till the beginn.ng o.
1890 1 hope that in the meantime all those who may be able
to bring any influence to bear will not fail to do so.

Those people who, in their small-mindedness, argue ha
what is saueefor the goose is sauce for the gander, and that
if bull terriers he not cropped, no more shonld fox terriers
and aoaniels be docked, only show much ignorance on the
subject. No one, except those who have had experience,
can lell what » p-inful and troublesome operation this crop-
D,nE is To begin with-a fox terrier has its tail out when a
sucking poppy? say, ten days' old. The operatron is per-

formed in a second, and judging by the way the pop is sack-
ing merrily a few moments after, the pain must be of a very
transitory nature. A bull-terrier's ears are cropped when
the animal iB, perhaps, an eight months' old puppy. The
primary operation is comparatively a very slow one; and
then afterwards, the plaisters, the threaoing, the frequent
manipulations to induce a correct carriage, all keep up the
torture, and in the end the result is often a disaster.

The result of the abolition of the practice would be that
breeders would at once sel to work to produce a desirable
form of ear. IE a small prick ear were desired, they would
breed that; but a small, neat folding ear, the c 'rose" form,
would, in my opinion, look the best. I have myself possessed
uncropped specimens of bull-terriere that left little to be
desired in point of appearance. To those who think it would
be impossible for breeders to attain tbe desired result, I
would say with Tertullian, Certum est quia impossible est, be-
oause I know that far greater results have been achieved.
Within certain reasonable limits, and at the expense of time,
I can practically breed anything I like. "Whether 1 require
fowls with a top knot of feathers and bare legs, or bare heads
and feathered legs; whether retrievers, which must be pure
black, or bull-terriers pure white, or Dalmatians symmetri-
cally spotted black and white; whether bull-dogs of great
size and weight, or tiny toy-terriers weighing a couple of
pounds — with the demand, the supply meets it. We have
only to regard the results attained by Bakewell in the case
of Bheep. by the Booths in shorthorns, and by Laverack in
setters, to know what can be done by judicious and intelli-
gent breeding.

And from a BelKsh point of view, for me in India, the
abolition would be a special benefit. Cropping is an art of
itself, and the operation is by no means as simple as it might
seem. I suppose there is hardly a man in the country capa-
ble of cropping a terrier's ears correctly, while a bungling
job is a caution to behold. On the other hand, if not cropped
no attention being paid to breeding small well-hung ears on
account of the cropping, we have an equally unsatisfactory
result. Two huge prick, bat-like ears, or ears one cooked
and one falling, utterly ruiniDg the appearance of the best
bred dog. I have seen bull-terrier puppies in this country,
the offspring of imported Crystal Pfclace winners on both
sides, quite grotesque and hideous in their appearance on
account of their huge, unshorn ears. "When once the dictum
goes forth that cropped dogs are debarred from first class
shows, the breeders will soon arrange to give handsome nn-
cropped specimens.

Scotch shepherd dogs are now employed at the Cape of Good
Hope iu herding oBtriches, a work which they perform with
great sagacity.

Tbe Kennel Elitorof the Breeder and Sportsman will
judge all classes at the Los Angeles Bench Show. The
official report will appear in the next issue of this paper.
Quite a contingent of San Francisco dog men will go down.

The President of the Southern California Kennel Club
writes that entries to the show to be given by the club, be-
ginning on Monday next, are coming in even more ranidly
than was expected. Considerably more than one hundred
animals are to be benched, among them some very fine
specimens.

Mr. Graham, who judged the last dog show, sailed on
Wednesday from New York for his home. A note from him
conveys the warmest expressions of appreciation to those
whom he met while in San Francisco. He claims never to
have been treated with more consideration, and that he
never enjoyed a show better than that of the Pacifio Kennel
Club. If he enjoyed his entertainers half as much as they
did the quaint little Irish visitor, he was indeed pleased.

When Mr. Graham arrived in San Francisco, among other
introductory letters brought with him was one from a wise
man of the East, who has for years presided over the kennel
destinies of' Forest and Stream. Major Hammond, of whose
recent return to his labors after a spell of illness we are glad
to hear, wrote: "Mr. Graham is a good judge. If you don't
think bo, just try to sell him a dog." No shrewder estimate
of the man could have been made, and we apprehend that
even the few who pretend to see errorin his judgments really
feel that if such a test was applied the judge would soon
demonstrate his ability.

Local cocker spaniel fanciers, led by Mr. Will Kittle,
intend to use their dogs in the field during the ooming sea-
Bon. Mr. Joe Bassford has, we believe, given the cocker a
trial on quail, as has Mr. Henry Bassford, and we shall be
pleased to learn from all of these gentlemen the extent to
which trials have been made and tbe results. Mr. Kittle's
use of his cocker baa been confined to Point Keyes, where
the birds are plenty but the cover so dense and high as to
make a poiuting dog a nuisance. The cocker goes yapping
about through the bush and puts up the birds in great etyle,
giving many nhote that could not otherwise be had. Mr.
McKoon, at El Cajcn, who has shot over cockers for many
years, claims that they are the dogs par excellence for use
on California quails. Mr. McKoon long Binee intimated an
intention to write us about his experience with cockers, and
we venture to recall the fact to his mind.

The "California Kicker" is a curious sort, as he has been
developed by the recent show. The ordinary objector usual-
ly finds in the award of the judge to his particular exhibit,
some ground for criticism, but notEoas to the last show. The
gentle "kicker" takes a new course. ProfeBBing complete
satisfaction with his own success at the show, he neverthe-
less f^els called upon to claim that injustice was done his
friends A or B or C, and when asked to point out minutely
the injustice it almost invariably apppars that what anyone
can see were glaring defects in his own dog, have been de-
lected by tbe judge in his friends exhibiii and the animals
pegged back accordingly. It is very ea=y for the man whose
dog is very good in any point to so magnify that excellence
as to t-xcuse in his eyes fatal deficiencies in other points,
and so the race of "kickerB" is perpetuated. But there is a
redeeming qnality about the '-California kicker" which is,
that his objecting is done without personalities and without
rancor. It results, not from a desire to take advantage of
anybody and to secure unfairly what cannot be attained
legitimately, but merely from lack of opportunities for com-
parison and newness in the showing of dogs. The last show
did not produce a tenth as many "kickers" as the preceding
exhibition, and there ib reason for the faith that in time the
Pacific Kennel Club shows will become noted for the an-
gelic sweetness of all exhibitors even after the [judging has
been finished.

The Supplement.

The Breeder and Sportsman is 'pleased to present this
week, as a supplement, the picture of Mr. William Graham
and a few of the dogs shown at the last Pacific Kennel Club
show. Those who saw Mr. Graham will attest the wonder-
ful accuracy of the portrait; and of the doge it may be said
that each picture is a perfect counterfeit presentment.

It is with a measure of pride that this paper recordB tbe
consensus of opinion of its contemporaries, which is that the
illustrations presented to its readers have always been better
than any others of like character sent out in the world. The
present supplement may well be preserved both for its
artistic excellence and the interest attaching to the subjects

THE GUN,

The Gua Club.

Editor Breeder and Sspoktsman:— The fifth regular match
of 18S9 of the San Francisco Gun Club took place at Adams'
Point on Saturday last, 15th ultimo, and had but a fair
attendance, so many of the members being out of town fish-
ing, etc., etc. Quite a brisk breeze was blowing most of the
afternoon, but the birds did not Beem to take advantage of it,
as many flew directly into the wind, rendering a compara-
tively easy shot. Still there were but few lingerers, the
majority of the birdR rising directly the traps were uncovered,
and a few were of Murphy's best selection, regular drivers.

Eleven members shot on the occasion, with the following
scores: —

out the afternoon. The club will shoot three more matches
before the season endB, the various contestants selecting

Inside Points by John L. Brewer.

John L. Brewer, who recently returned from a successful
trap Bhooting trip through England, says some rather caustic
things of British shots, of whom he does not hold the high-
est opinion. Each State of America, he says, can produce a
champion that ought to beat the best man England can pro-
duce, if allowed to meet on equal terms. And this is just
where the English trap shots are cute. They know that if
an American visits England he must be a first-class man, or
he would not travel such a distanc. The mere announcement
that he is an American puts a handicap on him, and this
handicap is increased until he has little or no show to win.
This is a high compliment to the skill of American trap shots,
but it is not fair play. Every man ought to have a chance
for his money, but in a country like England, where personal
feeling is developed to a frigbtfnl degree by personal pride,
outsiders must be beaten, and if they cannot be beaten on
their merits, they muse be prevented from winning by exces-
sive handicaping or other severe conditions. I should like, he
saya, to have used an American gun while in England, but it
is probable that if I bad done so I might have been asked to
withdraw. If there is any article that is ridiculed more
heartily throughout England than the American gun, I fail
to hear of it. Manufacturers laugh at it, and the people
generally speak of it comtemptuously as a "club" — that is,
out of balance, awkward, un6nished, and like a club.

You will see that I did not c<ire to raise feeling against me,
so I said little or nothing about the American gun. I am
inclined to the opinion, however, that ttie time is coming
when the American gun will make its way not only in Eng-
land, but on the continent. Euglish makers will not torn
out a good gun unless they get a big stiff price for it. Amer-
ican makers not only turn out a good serviceable gun at a
moderate price, but they guarantee its shooliug qualities.
Those are points tbat are bound to have effect, and if the
English were not bound hand and foot to their prejudices,
and so easily deceived into believing everything they are told
by interested parties, the neople as a whole might be struck
with a regular American gun oycloDe. I am positive in my
opinion that the English high grade gunB are the best and
only first-class guns made, and that American makers cannot
approach snch guns any more than a pig can fly to the north
pule; but there is also no doubt in my mind tbat Americans
can turn out a good gun at a much lower price than English
makers, and henc9 can undersell them in their own market.
Of course the profit on a high grade gun is rjroportionatelv
high, but when an EogliBhman is sure of getting the best
results, he never hesitates to pay liberally.

Yon ask me about the most important event in which I
took part. That is rather a hard question to answer, as I
took part in a large number of equally important events,
while I was constantly shooting to break records and lo test
the killing range ot my gun. Probably the most important
event in which I was a part winner was an open-to-all shoot
at best Blnerocks for £300, equal to almost $1,500 of our
money. In this big event I whb placed at 35 yds , while the
next nearest handicap was 29 yds. You will see that I con-
ceded G yds. or 18 ft. to my oppouentu, very much more than
any handicapper in an American event would dare to pen-
alized a contestant. I was assured that I was nllowed ts
oompete at 35 yds. just to show that Euglish trap-shots were
not afraid nf me. You can bet a toothpick that I smiled,
and that I also determined to gel a share of the pot, as Eng-
lishmen call the stake mou^y. When a fellow is roasted over
a pot he might as well tumble in, aud I fell in by killing 15
straight, and won one-third of the money, or S500. I used
a Purdey hammerless, 8 lbs. weight, 32 in. barrels, both full
choke. This gun has aa extra set of barrels, 7 lbs., 30 in.,
full choke, as a relief in a long shoot.

It mav be interesting to know something about this gun.
It was shot by me in a rough or unfinished state for four
months, at the end of which lime it was turned over to
Purdey to be completed. It was built specially for trp.p
shooting, and I will back it against any gun in the world
never saw a gan to equal it for hard shooting at lou:
When I first got this gun, I was bo well satisfied

A Lucky "Winner.

The Duke of Portland is the most fortunate of winners
upon the turf. He is descendant of that Batavian Ben-
tinck who was the friend and confidant of William III.,
and was created by the king in the first year of his reign
Earl of Portland. King George I. raised him to a Duke-
dom in 1716. The present Duke of Portland succeeded
to the title and vast estate in 1879 — the inheritor of b.oad
lands in England, valuable real estate property in Loo-
don, and millions of pounds sterling. He is a Datron
and duvote of the turf; ha3 the finest stable in all
E. tgland.

La*t yedr was notable in English sporting events for

le large accessions in racing prizes— the Lancashire

'late, worth £10,222; the Saudown Eclipse Stakes

-- '0,000; the Laicester Portland Stake for two-yeai -olds',

L-6,000— the largest ever put up in the United Kingdom.

He won the Derby with. Ayrshire, and also the 2,000 guin-
eas. The year's winnings brought hiru a total of nearly
£27,000— equivalent to 8 135,000. This year he has
again won the Derby — with his Donovan, which as a
two-year-old last year won eleven of the best prizeB of
the year, amounting to over £6,000 — 830,000 — with only
two defeats. His winning the Derby this year places Don-
ovan in the foremost position (and rewards the Duke of
Portland beyond comparison in turf winnings, exclusive
of betting), in the reckoning of many years, since the Duke
of Hamilton ended his clouded career upon the turf.
Donovan is now the most valuable horse in the kingdom.
Other events of the year are before him. Already, his
owner, is credited with total winnings of over £100,000
from his stables. He was born immensely rich, and
adds to this wealth by rare good fortune through the
suDerior excellence of his stable.

Inbreeding Considered.

It is slill a debated question whether inbreeding is
conducive to the best form and performance of trotters.
The American trotting horse is the key to the solution,
but further time is required to the safe test. Instances
in favor and adverse can be cited. The predominant
belief must come from thorough sources. A correspond-
ent of the Chicago Breeder's Gazette, who adopts the
inbreeding theory, cites the results as witnessed in Em-
press Eugenie, an inbred Hambletonian; of Albert Prance,
2:30^, and Wilton, 2:19£, sons of George Wilkes by the
same dam, Abbey, a daughter of Rysdyk's Hambleton-
ian, also the sire of George Wilkes, and thus closely in-
bred. Again, Young Jim, son of Wilkes, mated to a
daughter, Taney, produced butterfly, 2:19£ at five years.
Taney, mated to Jay Bird, another son of Wilkes, pro-
duced Eagle Bird, 2:21 at four years; and Simmons and
Bonnie Wilkes, son and daughter of George Wilkes, pro-
duced Bon Bon, 2:26 at four years. Castalia, 2:30-£ at
three years, sire and dam by George Wilkes, is another
instance, and Goldsmith Maid was an inbred Hamble-
tonian. As breeding is studied and conducted now, the
issue will be pretty clearly demonstrated. And so will
it be as to the better cross to obtain to attain perfection
at last.

A New Proposition.

It is proposed, by a number of prominent turfmen in
this State, that connection with the National Trotting
Association shall be sundered, and that an Association
shall be organized to comprise the Pacific Coast, or the
territory west of the Rocky Mountains, for all purposes
similar to those of which the jurisdiction is now confided
to the National Association.

The proposition has its advocates and its opponents.
The Breeder and Sportsman has at present no disposi-
tion to take sides. It would be manifestly improper to
do so. The determination of the turfmen of the Pacific
Coast should be, as it will be, the decisive quantity. But
impartiality between conflicting opinions is required,
and we feel it incumbent to set forth the reasons and
arguments for and against the proposition, as these may
be offered from either side.

On the part of the proposers of the new organization
it is alleged that the National Association, with its
headquarters on the Atlantic side, is too remote to satis-
fy the requirements of the Pacific Coast; that this wide
distance affects the interests involved upon this coast,
either by tardiness or by lack of appreciation or atten-
tion in the transaction of the business peculiar to this
farthest country The details are not now important; it is
upon general grounds, comprising the enumerated de-
tails, that the proposition rests.

It will be months, almost a year, before the matter
can be fairly considered and determined. A Pacific
Coast Association should embrace every State and Terri-
tory west of the great longitudinal mountain range,
divisional of the empire of the East and the empire of
the West. California is alike central and paramount in
all this expanse of territory. As California determines,
accordingly the decision of all the others conjoined will
be. Full deliberation and sound judgment are the
qualities that are imperative to the final solution.
Neither local interest, individual bias, nor temporary
considerations ought to prevail iu the deliberation.
Whatever may be done should be done to permanent
consequence.

Opposed to the proposition it is urged that there is not
now any reasonable cause for change; that no benefit
can flow from it, and that continuation in the established
situation is more advantageous in every respect to all
interests. It is urged that the tardiness and inattention
toward this Coasr, of which first complaint was made a
few years ago, have been remedied and do not now exist.
The home Board of Appeals take due and timely cogni-
zance of all cases which require consideration. One diffi-
culty which existed, appertaining to the personnel of the
National Board, has been overcome by the removal of

the offending or derelict official. The only cause for
complaint hinges on the delay consequent upon distance
between the Pacific and the Atlantic, in the transmission
of matters of this Coast through the mails, and the times
of the meetings of the National Association.

It is contended that theBe difficulties cannot be reme-
died by the organization of a Pacific Coast Association;
that the facility and rapidity of communication by
mails and by telegraph obviate every objection of this
kind; and as to rules and judgments the condition can-
not be improved by the establishment of a local Associa-
tion on this Coast; that the National Association is
entirely competent and satisfactory. It has field and
jurisdiction in turf matters analagous to the Supreme
Court of the United States in matters of law — as the
final tribunal and arbiter to hear and decide cases which
come up to it from every State and Territory embraced
in its jurisdiction.

This is the situation as it is understood. The Breeder
and Sportsman endeavors to act fairly and impartially
in the matter. The proposition has the backing of
wortby and honorable gentlemen conspicuous in turf
interest in this State. It is opposed by gentlemen
equally worthy, honorable and conspicuous. It will be
the subject of discussion and deliberation during the
year until conclusive determination. Propriety and
moderation will prevail in the consideration, and un-
biased judgment will predominatR. The importance of
the subject will ensure the soundness of the determina-
tion.

The Park Speed Track.

The Golden Gate Park is a charm to everybody, the
admiration of traveled notables who come to California
from every portiou of the world, for its handsome drives
and absorbing scenery, its native growths of flora and
arbor, and its artificial beautification.

One feature was lacking. Besides the smooth, clean-
ly and delightful diiving' grounds, bridle pathways and
walks for pedestrians, the want of a pleasure driving
ground, for speed and safety and enjoyment was felt.
The pleasant and smooth macadamized drive ways are
wearing to the horses, and the limit of speed to ten miles
an hour, is at times alike perplexing and unsatisfactory
to the numbers who seek there the gratification of a
"spin," and sit behind the ambitious and not alwa.ys
perfectly controllable fast trotter or spirited pair which
they handle. Our California fine bred trotters are in-
spired with the feeling of the State — to excel and prove
their mettle.

More than two years ago, in appreciation of this want
among the beautiss and delights of the park, a move-
ment was started to supply the lacking quality. Citizens
of broad public spirit and ample purse determined that,
so far as in themselves the want could be supplied, took:
the San Francisco way of doing things toward the ob-
ject. A total sum of 832,561 was subscribed and paid
in for the purpose. The Park Commissioners were in
co-operation with the scheme. It was, to have prepared
a driving pleasure track, distinct from the established
drives and riding paths and pedestrian's walks, so as to
interfere with none of these, which should serve for all
who cared to participate iu the pleasure. The track was
to be of clay, to assure ease and relief to the horses, and
allow nearly topmost speed in the exhilarating sport.
It was not to be a racing track, nor to be subjected to
the accessories of saloons, betting, or any of the custom-
ary racing track habitudes. It should be simply, actual-
ly and only a driving pleasure ground for gentlemen,
with the facilities for speeding without the objections
which the fastidious prefer in regard to racing tracks or
sporting courses. The Park Commissioners expressed
their accord in the plan. Neither the State nor the city
was taxed for a dime of the expense.

The money — $32,561 — was paid in entirely upon priv-
ate subscription by wealthy, generous and public-spirited
citizens. The Park Commissioners allotted the grounds
— quite as they had allotted the driving ways, the riding
paths, the walks, the children's play grounds, the con-
servatory, the sites for memorial statuary, the music stand
and everything. The Park Commissioners have absolute
control of the Park, as they should have it, tho road
ways, the path ways, the dispensation of the water, and
everything pertaining to that lovely and prideful resort
for everybody.

Agreeably to the concessions of the Park Commission-
ers the driving pleasure track was laid out, and the work
pushed onward to completion. The Pacific Improvement
Company was given charge of the work. February 28th
this year, the track was completed, and the Park Com-
missioners received it from the Committee of Supervi-
sion appointed by the subscribing citizens. The Pacific
Improvement company has been paid in full — 831,000 —
for their part of the work. The contract called for a
deDth of six inches of clay upon the track of a little
more than a mile in length — a full mile of this thoroughly

level and smooth — and 100 feet in width. In some places
the depth of clay does not exceed four inches. The track,
however, is finished, and has been accepted and turned
over to the Park Commissioners, and they have accepttd
the trust.

It was February 28th of this year that the Park Com-
missioners accepted the track. Still it is not opened to
the subscribers nor to anybody. It is closed and boarded
up at each end, and no one is permitted by the Park
Commissioners to go over it. It has not been given
attention by any of the employees of the Park. The
winds blow the drifting sands upon it; the rains wash
its edges; the elements have their impairing sport with
it. Much expense attends these consequences of non-
usage and neglect, and only disappointment and aggra-
vation can come of the negligence. The Park Com-
missioners have control of the water in the Park. The
driving pleasure track sadly needs watering. There are
no conduits, no prepreparation or security whatever
against waste and wear of the closed and unused track.

A wrong impression has been lodged to do hat m to
this track, and it has been studiously, if not deliberately
created. It is represented as akin to a racing track, and
the push seems to be to bring the people to believe that
this is at their expense. The facts are as we have here-
in stated. The cost of the track is defrayed entirely by
the private subscriptions of generous citizens. Not a
dime has come from the public purse; not a mill will it
cost any non-subscriber. It is not a race track, nor does
it possess any of the characteristics of the kind. Abso-
lutely free from saloons, or their possibility, no crowds,
no betting, nothing to interpose or offend, and with
police to guard and aid in case of accident. The Park
driving pleasure track is intended simply for the recrea-
tion of the participants, without annoyance or harm to
any others — as innocent as parlor billiards, as delightful
as yachting, as unexceptionable as lawn tennis. Cali-
fornia horses have the go in them, and go they will.
The world of pleasure seekers enjoy the excitement of
the drive — who shall hinder them from it ? The Park
Commissioners ought to have the track opened. The
people should be allowed the delights of the track.

Important Notice.

The proprietor of the Breeder a>~d Sportsman has sent to
all Directors of Agricultural and Fair Associations, as well as
to all prominent trotting horse breeders on the Pacific Coast,
a copy of the letter which is given below, as far as their
addresses are known. It is desired that the opinions of
all interested in the subject should be sent in, bo that
those who are moving in the matter may fully under,
stand the feelings of those most likely to be interested for or
against a change. If there be any of our readers who desire
to ventilate their views on the matter, they are hereby cor-
dially invited to send in communications to this office at

once:

Breeder and Sportsman,
313 Bush Street, near Montgomery.
San Prancisco, June 19, 1SS9.
Dear Sir: — The subject of forming a Pacific Coast Trotting
Association on the same plan as the National and American
Trotting Association is at present being seriously discussed
by prominent horse owners.

We desire to obtain the personal opinion of all who are
interested. If a large majority are in favor of such a move-
ment, then a meeting can be called at a suitable time and
place, the organization to consist of one member of the Board
of Trustees from each district or association.

These opinions will be published in the Breeder and
Sportsman. In this manner the views of the different
writers will be brought prominently before the trotting horse
public.

Please favor us with your ideas on this subject as promptly
Respectfullv,

J. P. Kerr.

Fair Advertisements.

There are quite a namber of new advertisements in this
weeks issue from various fair associations iu California aud
Oregon. A perusal of the announcements wilt give a fair
idea of what will be done in the racing world this year, and
will also enable the owners and trainers to form au idea of
where the most advantageous entries may be made. The
following are the new "ads:"

Nevada County, at Glenbrook Park, August 20th to 24th.
Sonoma and Marin, at Petaluma, Augnst 27th to 31st.
Mount Shasta Agricultural Association at Yreka, October 2d
to 5th. Stockton Fair, September 24th to 28th.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Association
also announce the re-opening of the Free-for-all and ibe 2;"0
class. The conditions are slightly altered, and the Directors
have every reason to believe that both of these raceB will till
well.

Year after year, for almost a decade, the report has been
current that a new track for San Francisco was inevitable
and would surely be built within a short time. Still the
years have passed and the ne^w track is even yet a thing of
the future. Committees have hunted for suitable localities
hat without favorable results. It is only a few mouths sirice
that a party of gentlemen who are prominent members of the
Blood Horse Association, visited the neighborhood of the
six mile house in hopes of finding land that would answer
the purpose intended, but without, as far as heard, finding
the Decessary amount of ground. A few months ago, a well
known and wealthy gentleman, offered a hundred acres of
land near the cliff bouse for the purpose, but the parties to
whom he made the proposition, saw tit to decline his offer, or
could not see their way clear to make the undertaking a suc-
cess. So the matter has stood until about three weeks ago.
when a practical man made1 up his mind that a new track
could be had if bandied in the proper manner.

The geutleman alluded to is Frank H. Bnrke, Esq., who
in looking around found that eighty-five acres could be pro-
cured at Menlo Park, on a ten year lease for $1,500 per
annum. He at once saw the railroad authorities and got
from them the assurance that if first class raciDg only was
given over the new track, they would issue return tickets
from San Francisco for the extremely low sum of tweoty-bve
cents. However, the railroad reserves the right to refuse
tickets at this price for any scrub races, tut on the other
hand gives assurances that it will run special trains to* the
meeting of any recognized association, and have plenty of
cars in readiness after the races to bring passengers back to
the city in good time. So much for the railroad company.
Senator Stanford was tben interviewed, to see what he would
do personally toward assisting the enterprise. He received
Mr. Burke very frankly and listened to the scheme which
met with his full approval, aud his aDswer to the committe
of one was, that whatever sum could be secured toward put-
ting the grounds in first class condition, building the neces-
sary stabliog, houses, fencing, etc., he would give half sb
much as could be collected. If the committee can secure
§10,000, the Senator will give $5,000; if they can get $20,000
he will give $10 0U0, and so on in proportion. Another good
and generous offer.

Mr. Hobart was about to start on his trip to Europe, so he
was seen, and at once expressed a desire to contribute $10
for each acre he owns in that vicinity, which as he owns a
250 acre ranch will amount to the modest sum of $2 500.

A large number of other gentlemen have been interviewed
on the subject, and they have all expressed a willingness to
subscribe liberally toward the object. Mr. Burke will make
a proposition to the Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeder's Association at their nest session, that they
go on with the project, and he is willing to become one of a
committee to gather in the amount of coin necessary for a
successful completion of the project. In addition he will
also pay $1,000 a year toward the ground rent for the term of
ten years.

Complaint has been frequently made that the two tracks
as now situated are exposed too much, the cold air prevent-
ing the working out of horses in a proper manner. The fog
also retards work at times, but it is claimed that if a new
track is built on the site selected, all the past troubles
will be obviated. "Whether the Directors of the P. C. T. H.
B. A. will see fit to accept the trust is of course a question,
but the plan is, on the face of it, such a good one, that there
is a strong probability that they will enter into the scheme
heartily.

At the Napa Track.

What a great pity it is that Napa is so far from San Fran-
cisco, for moBt assuredly if it were within easy reaching dis-
tance, there would be no necessity building a new one in
this vicinity. The track as it is at present, is as fast as any
in the State, if not the very fastest. The committee who
have the track under their management, have taken the ut-
most care of it all winter, and now it is the opinion of all
horsemen who have visited it since the spring rains closed,
that it is the track par excellence. The consamate ease with
which Marion gained her record of three heats under 2:30
week before last, is a big feather in the cap of the Napa As-
sociation, as the game little daughter of Piedmont was un-
able to come anywhere near the same time on the Sacramento
track.

The surroundings are beautiful and whatever maybe Jack*
ing in the way of accomodations at present will be erected
before the fall meeting begins as the outlook for an enormous
attendance iB very flattering. On the occasion of our last
visit there were races held at the track and consequently a
number of prominent horsemen put in an appearance from
varions portions of the State. Among others seen was Mr.
McGraw of Santa Rosa, who was over to take a look at his
black stallion Silas Skinner, who as a three-year-old was giv-
en a trial in 2:28. Mr. McGraw says he does not want to
start his horse in a r*ce until he is sure of beating 2:20, and
from present indications he need have no fear of starling him
this fall, for although have done heavy service in the stud,
he can trot in 2:24 to-day. "Mac" is an old timer on the
trotting circuits and richly deserves such a priceless gem as
he now possesses. This son of Alcona Jr. promises to give
his sire a great name ere many moons pass, which will be a
plea rare not only to the friends of Mr. McGraw, but also to
the friends of Mr. Loeber. the owner of Alcona Jr

J. F. Maguire, who has been all winter at the Oakland
track, is now situated at the Napa track, with a string of ten
horses from the 6tables of D. M. Reavis, Esq., of Chico. He
has among the number colts and fillies by Blackbird, Direct-
or and Munroe Chief, and also one by a son of Steinway.
When we were there Mr. Maguire had only just received the
horses and consequently had not their pedigrees as perfectly
as he now has. A very beaatifal mare called Vic R. gives
exceeding. great promise, and although only juBt taken up,
seemed to relish her work immensely. A three-year-old by
Director moved at better than a 2:30 gait, and although not
driven out a foil mile will be able to go three full heats before
many days. Several yearlings are also under tue charce of
Mr. Maguire from the same stable, and he is developing them
slowly for the work they will have to do either this year or
next. Mr. Reavis could not hive secored a more careful
or conscientious handler of stock tbau Mr. Maguire, and we
fully believe that the home of Blackbird will have additional
honors showerd upon it this year.

A look was next taken at the stable presided over by that
knight of the sulky, Harry B. Starr. It seems but yesterday
that Harry wa3 bead groom at the Farm of Mr. Loeber, but a
close application to business has put him in the forward
ranks, and many a race Harry has snatched from some faster
horj-e, simply by good generalship.

Mr. Starr stands very high in his profession among the
residents of Napa County, and as a consequence has all he
can attend to. He has altogether sixteen head, which are all

under his personal supervision, and it is no uncomnun
thing to see him in the sulky from morning to night.

Among the best of those now in training is Flora B. by
Alcona 730, dam Foutana by Almont. This speedy mare
already has art cord of 2:29$, and when she gets down to
work this fall will materially "reduce her present record.

A mare who shows that she can trot as many heats as
neefssary in a prolonged race is Cora C. by Whippleton, dam
by Nanbuc. She is only four years old, and although not
yet within the charmed circle, can get the credit mark when-
ever she is sent for it.

Another Whippleton with a good turn of speed is Black
Prince, whose dam is also by Nanbuc. He will require a
deal of work to bring him to his limit, but he is a glutton for
exercise, and should give his sire another one iu the treat
table.

A tine youngster called San Diego is two vears old, and is
an excellent mover. He is by Alcona Clay, "dam Fontana by
Almont.

Another of Mr. Starr's pets is Oakville Maid, 3 years old,
by "Whippleton, dam unknown. This iB a filly of great
promise, and will do well.

The pet of the stable, however, is Coronada, a yearling ty
Stamboul, dam Dolly MeMahon, the dam of Lillie Stanley,
2:17i. He is the prettiest trotter on the track, and hisowners
the Coombes Bros., fancy him highly. Coronado is entered
in several yearling stakes, bat whether he will start or not is
yet a question. There is do denying the fact that Mr. Starr
is handling one of the best and one of the fastest yearlings
in the State.

that I said it ought to kill 60 oat of 100 best blue rocks, at
35yds. rise. This bit of boast was at once snapped up by an
English sportsmen, who laid £100 to £50 on the birds.

I finally agreed to make the attempt. All previous attempts
had been to kill only 50 out of 100, and every attempt had
been a failure, the men who backed the birds being heavy
winners. The birds in my race were specially, picked out of
a choice lot, and were all ring-tied; that is, each bird was
put throngh a ring, the size of the ring being a standard for
the very best birds, such as weje noted for speed and cour-
age. The boundary of ;tbis race was 60yds. from the traps,
and the wind was with the birds. The betting was £5 to £1
on the birdF, and there were not many takers. I was so con-
fident that I would accomplish the feat that I put up all the
money I had on it, and the walking was not very good either.
It never is in England. Well, I killed 41 out of the first 50,
and still the betting was against me. I closed the race on
the 81st bird, having killed 19 out of 31, and scored a win.
Final score: Killed 60, missed 21. I thus established a new
world's record at the distance and on the number of birds.
I never shot in better form or with more confidence, and
althongh I did not win much money, I did something to
make my countrymen feel proud of me. In tbis race my
loading was as follows: In each barrel 4 drams Schultzewood
powder, 1£ oz. Newcastle cbilled shot; Eley's improved paper
shell, with specially strong primer. The kills were in nearly
every case made with the first barrel, although the second
was occasionally used as a precaution, rather than a neces-
sity.

In all English pigeon shooting matches the birds always
have the benefit of the wind. Indeed, a match with the
wind againBt the birds is Beldom, if ever, allowed in England,
the traps being managed promptly, in accordance with the
direction of tbe wind. The general rule that governs all the
shooters in England is to load over 4 drs. powder and 1] nz.
shot, and to hold the gnn just as the shooter pleases. This
is susceptible of explanation. The shooter goes to the traps,
has the privilege of taking aim, and can hold the gun to his
shonlder or not, as he pleases. Tbis rule is followed every-
where, and the idea of holding the gun below the elbow until
the bird is on the wing, is laughed at by English sportsmen.
The gauge of gun is limited to a 12, and auy weight not over
8 lbs. I did not see a 10-gauge gun in use, and only a few at
the gun stores, where I was told they were used for duck
shooting. I told them that tens were used a gj-eat deal in the
United States, not only at the trap, but in the field, and that
many sportsmen thought that eights, sixes and fours, were
the proper things for ducks, at which much surprise and
amazement were manifested, and the expression was made,
"We would call that punting!" The pant gun is a big gun
mounted on a swivel, and used principally by sailorB who
hunt ducks, and want to get enough game with one or two,
discharges to last for a week!

and dnrting sand; immunity from subsection by the city
authorities for an extended period; ample water supply of
good quality.

It is not easy to select a plot of sufficient size that will
combine all tbese qualities, but a gIobo examination of out-
lying lands is being made by the Direotors, and the coming
year will probably see the club in possession both of a mag-
nificent home and a well fitted resort for its field dayB.

If ever there was a cosmopolitan Board of Directors, that
now in office over the Olym'pic Club may be so styled. Its
personelle is unexceptionable in every respect, social, busi-
ness, and athletic, and the members combine in a rare degree
the attributes which go to make meu effective in leading their
fellows to higher planes. Just now the Board is somewhat
disintegrated. Its President, Mr. William Greer Harrison,
strong, self-contained, enthusiastic, capable and popular, is
about to visit England. Jts Secretary, Mr. W. E. Hollo way,
urbane, distinguished, full of exeontive ability, iB in Austra-
lia. Director Barry Baldwin, fond of a dry joke, but always
ready for any good endeavor, is doing England and the Con-
tinent, Vice-Prtsident R. P. Hammond, the highest type of
Native Sons of the Golden West, and that means the best
sort of man, has but just returned from an exhaustive visit
to the great athlelic centers of the Eastern States.

If the coming months, when tbese travellers return to club
duty, do not produce plenty of surprises in the way of new
ideas, it will be something extraordinary.

Yolo Maid Sold.

The Texas Field is the style of a nicely made little journal
which comes to us from San Antonio, Texas, in its second
issue. It is devoted to field sports, and we trust will be
accorded the appreciation to which its brightness and newsi-
ness entitle it.

On June 13th two young ladies of Sacramento, who were
camping near Bolinas, in Marin County, encountered a
brown bear while they were blackberrying. One of the
ladies, an expert at rifle Bhooting, chanced to have her rifle
with her, and at once shot the beast through the head. The
carcass was taken to San Rafael and distributed by a butcher
of the town.

We commend to the Secretaries of other shooting clubs
and, in fact, to the Executive officers of all organizations,
official reports of the doings of which should appear in the
Breeder and Sportsman the example set by the Secretary of
the Gnn Club, Mr. John K. Orr, whose report appears else-
where. Mr. Orr's familiarity witb trap shooters in California
for thirty years make his reports especially valuable.

Mr. Walter E. Bryant, Curator of the Academy of SoienceR,
and the most prominent naturalist of the Western S'ates,
was recently sent to Baja California, on a collecting tour, and
on Monday evening last lectured to the Academy about his
trip most entertainingly. Several discoveries were mentioned,
among them being the nest and eggs of Beldings warbler, the
latter being like those of the yellow-throated warbler, white
with black and brown spots. A curious fact mentioned by
Mr. Bryant was that in very dry seasons the California quails
do not pair, the probable reason being an instinctive knowl-
edge that food for the young will be scarce.

ATHLETICS.

California Athletic Club Grounds.

The California Athletic Club has leased Harbor View Park,
at the eud of the Union Street cable line, and will lit it up aa
an exercising ground for the use of its members.

The park will be arranged for sprinting, walking, weight
and hammer throwing, vaulting, and all other out-door
sports. A much needed addition to the athletic resources of
the city.

Olympic Out-Door Grounda.

During the incumbency of the Board of Directors which
served the Olymnio club last year, a movement to procure
grouuds for the use of the "out-doormen" was initiated,
but as that board also began the new building scheme and
was hard worked in carrying the project through to a point
where its success was assured, the exercising grounds were
suffered to lapse fcr the time. Several desirable tracts were
offered either under lease hold or for purchase outright, what
seemed most desirablu being a piece of four blooks, just
south of Golden Gate Park, an option on which was secured
through the efforts of Mr. L R. Fulda, a member of the club.
The purchase of land at San Rafael, near Sausalito, iu Ala-
meda County, and on the peninsula, toward San Bruno, was
thoroughly discussed, and Beveral most excellent places
were examined by the Directors, but when it became neces-
sary to invest Borne thousands of dollars it was wisely decided
to bend all energies to the perfecting of the new building,
after which grounds aud other adjuncts could more easily be
seci red. The nev/ building is secured, on an accessible site,
anc bo perfect in all its appointments as to insure its being
the beBt club structure of the sort in the world, whether for
si? 3, facilities for exercising, or provision for social enjoy-
t nt.

'laving accomplished so much, it is but natural that the
ou'door enthusiasts should revive their pet projeot, and tbe
proaent Board of Direotors is now casting about for a site
pon which to construct a complete exercising ground.
Certain features are indispensable, such as accessibility at
blight expense in time and money; protection from fog, wind

Stanford.

Stanford, a four-year-old stallion that won a couple of
races at the recent meeting in New York city, in one of them
making a record of 2:30. says the Breeder's Gazette, is liable
before the season is over to give his sire, Piedmont, a good
deal of advertising and prove that the men who bought the
latter's colts at Senator Stanford's sale in tha spring were
wise in their generation. This colt Stanford is out of Irene
by Mohawk Chief, and although he has had but little work
can step a mile close to 2:25, which is certainly a good show-
ing for a colt of his age and experience. It has been said by
Borne people who did not know what they were talking about
that tbe Piedmont colts were not given a fair chance at Palo
Alto, but this is all nonsense, as the policy there is to
develop tbe best oneB on the place, irrespective of their aire,
as all the animals from which the youngsters come are owned
at Palo Alto, and hence there cun be no chance of booming
somebody else'B stallion by developing a good young trotter.
Tbat this rule has been in force a good many years is shown
by the fact that when the fonr-year-old record was temporari-
ly snatched from California by the Kentucky filly Elvira the
animal that regained the laurels was Sallie Benton, a daugh-*
ter of General Benton, which showed that something besides
the Electioneers were in training. Piedmont's colts seem to
be Tather slow in coming, there is no denying that, but it has
been the rule tbat sons of Almont sire speed when the condi-
tions are favorable. They certainly have been in Piedmont's
case, as he was a trotter himself, and was out of a producing
mare.

She Does Not Like Balky Horses.

"What are we stopping for?" said the lady. "Balky
horse on the track," answered tbe gentleman "He won't
move for whipping, or pelting, or whispers in his ear, or—
anything." "Did I ever tell yon,*' she asked, "about my
experience with a balky horFe? No? Well, it was out on
Colorado plains. The most elegant young eligible of our set
had invited me to take a ride behind a high-spirited, tine-
blooded horse. I got myself up to do justice to the occasion.
All went delightfully until, when we were ou the open plain
outside Denver, that valuable animal concluded to pause in
his r*pid motion and meditate. My escort shook the reins,
chuckled persuasively, remonstrated encouragingly, gave a
touch of tbe whip, at which the horse reared and kicked
viciously, but st 11 we were stationary out on that lonely
sandy level. My elegant escort grew red in the face with
mortification, and clenched bis teeth so as not to let slip any
regrettable words. 'If you will allow me to get out I could
start him,' he Baid. 'Oh, by no meanB,' I rejoined; "I could
never hold him. Let me get out, and try putting sand in his
month. I've been told tbat worked like a charm.' And so
it did. I clambered out of the buggy, grabbed a good fist
full of fine sand, opened the jaws of that borse and threw it
in. Tbe astonished horse tore off like a flash, and as I Btood
alone, five miles from home in that Bolitary place and
watched the maddened horse, the powerless driver, aod the
black buggy grow a mere dot in the distance, I decided the
experiment had been a perfect success aB far as the starting
of the horse was concerned. — Chicago Journrl.

Some months ago, Mr. Hoppin, the owner of Yolo Meid,
notified us that he intended to sell his fast pacing mare, if
he could get his price for her. It took some lime for him to
make up his mind to do this as he had bred the lilly and
coached her all through her fast work and finally saw her
work a quarter last fall in less than thirty seconds, proving
to him that Yolo Maid was the fastest pacing mare in the
world. Several persons on this coast have tried to negotiate
for her purchase ostensibly for Eastern parties, but Mr.
Hoppin would not receed from the price he asked $9,000,
and they failed to come up with the amount required. B. C.
Holly has had his eye on the mare for some time, so about
two weeks ago be went up to Yolo County and took another
look at her and finally concluded to take her at Mr. Hoppin's
price. Wednesday of last week, she was taken to Mr. Holly's
place at the Fair Grounds, Vallejo, where she arrived safely.
Prior to making the journey she was driven a mile, the first
quarter being made in 293 seconds, tbe half mile in 1:04 and
the circuit of the track in 2:14.]. The Maid is still heavy in
flesh and needs considerable work to reduce her to proper
racing condition, but Mr. Hoppin is confident that she will
be able to beat Johnston's record of 2:06£ when at herself.
Mr. Holly on being interviewed stated that he would take
Yolo Maid to Salt Lake City first and enter her in tbe free-
for-all there, after which he will make the rounds of the
Montana Circuit with his stable, returning in time to meet
the cracks at the State Fair. Mr. Holly has undoubtedly se-
cured the fastest pacing mare in the world, but he will have
to meet Borne very fast sidewheelers on the trip which he
proposes to take. However, he will have the best wishes of
his California friends for his success.

Poscora Hayward.

Pilot, in the N. Y. Sportsman, says: Poscora Hayward is a
gray horse by Billy Hayward, 2:31|, son of Geo. M. Patchen
Jr., 2:27, out of Lady PoBcora by Yoong Poscora. He was
bred by Allen H. Mayhew, Niles, Cal., and trotted his first
race at San Francisco as a three-year-old, where he defeated
Belle Davis and Gracie D. and made a record of 2:42£. The
following week, however, he finished second to Belle Davis,
and was then retired until 1878, when he won a four-year-old
stake at Sacramento and trotted a heat in 2:37. As a five-
year-old he saved his entrance in a race won by Belle H. at
Oakland, and finished second to Santa Clans at the 6ame
meeting.

Poscora Hayward trotted his next raceB in 1882, when he
opened the Beason at Santa Cruz by defeating Frank Moscow
and Blackniore in 2:31, 2:2Si, 2:29|. A defeat by Sweetness
at San Francisco followed this event, and then others by
Albert W. at Saiita Rosa, Petaluma and Oakland respectively.
PoBcora Hayward inaugurated the following Beason at Santa
Cruz by winning two races in one week. He was then
shipped to San Franoisco, where he finished third in a race
won by Manon. At Oakland he started against Magdallan
and Del Sur, and won after a seven-heat race, the deciding
heat being trotted in 2:25. The following week at Sacramento
the tables were turned, Magdallah winning after the gray
stallion had landed two heats in 2;23£. 2:17£.

After a retirement of three years Poscora Hayward finished
fourth in a race at Denver, Col., during the fall of 1886, and
was also defeated by Spinella, Lady Bonner, Rolla and
Superior in 1887. Last year he won a race at Eureka, Cal.,
defeating Idaho Patchen in slow time. In his twenty-one
races, of which he won seven, was second in eight, third in
two, and unplaced in four. Poscora Hayward trotted eighty-
six beats, winning twenty-six, one-half of which was finished
in 2:30 or better.

Roarine Horses.

The MoCarty Stable.

We have received a letter from D. J. McCarly, Jr., in
which he says that bis father sold the following horsea in
Chicago:

To J. Stinson the black mare Linda by Sidney, dam Flight

Algona, dam Katie Tricks; bay geldiDg Fred by Steiuway;
bay gelding California by Belnor, dam Loah by "Woodford
Mainbrino, and bay gelding Consul by Belnor, dam Alia by

and Charley D. were all going well, and the whole stable was
in good oondition after their trip.

All horsemen are familiar with the trick of punching, or at
least feigning to punch, a horse in the ribs to try him for roar-
ing, but some may be unaware that this becomes a much strong-
er test if the horse's nose is pulled in toward his chest toward
his right side. Some practice, again, will enable a veterinary
surgeon, or even a layman, to extend a horse's head and neck
and feel the dilator muscles of his larynx. If the horse has
been a roarer for any length of time the left muscle will have
become flatter than the right through wasting. "A slight
amount of pressure with the index finger on the left aryte-
noid cartilage" will then "cause a loud noise inresperation, ae
if the animal were galloped, but there is little, if any dis-
tress." If, on the contrary, the right arytenoid cartilage is
pressed hard, although little noise is caused, "symptoms of
aBphyxis are quickly manifested, owing to the complete clos-
ure of the glottis through the immobility of the* left carti-
lage." This is a valuable test at auctions, whore horses can-
not be galloped for "wind," as it is called. Dr. Flemming
believes that a close stable aggravates roaring, and he quotes
the saying of Admiral Rous to the effect that many roarers
might be improved a stone if they were trained from an open
shed, sheltered from wet and rain, kept warmly clothed, and
always in the open air. It has been asserted over and over
again that roaring is unknown at the Cape of Good Hope,
and that if a roarer is taken out there he invariably reoovers'.
According to the evidence collected by Dr. Flemin« this
statement, although not very far from the truth, is a little
too BweepiDg.

We may add tbat the story of Belladrum's cure after his
arrival at the Cape had been denied of late, although with
what truth we unable to say. It is well kuown, again, that
roaring is uncommon in most parts of India, but Dr. Flem-
ing quotes one authority who says that it is very prevalent
iu Calcutta. Arabs are supposed to be nearly exenmt from
roaring, but this rule, it set-ins, is by no means universal, es-
pecially among the larger aud coarser horses. If native
Egyptian horses are seldom, if ever, roarers there are plenty
of imported horses that are roarers in that eouutry. A mili-
tary veterinary surgeon, according to the author, "stated that
at the end of the Egyptian campaign of 18S2, out of 1S5
horses under his care 33 had become roarers, 13 broken-
winded, and several others more or less affected in their
breathing. He does uot hold tbe common theory thut mares
are less subject to it than geldings; but he admits tbat it is
commouest among stallions. He appears to doubt whether
the setting ou of the head to the neck or any other external
conformation has much to do with the disease, aud he thinks
it questionable whether it is ever produced by a bearing-rein.
Like most authorities on tbe subject, he observes tbat ponies
aud very small horses are rarely afflcted by it, and this, he
says, may go some way toward accounting for tbe compara-
tive immunity of certain breeds of small size in southern and
eastern oiuntries. ou the other hand, he points out that light
cavalry mora often beoomes roarers tbau heavy artillery
horse°, and that, aa a general rule, light, in ode rate -ni zed
horses are more subject to the complaint than large and
I heavy ones.— [The Saturday Review.

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

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

W T Withers, the well known Fairlawu breeder, had for
several 'yeara been gradually railing in health, and despite
several winters in Florida, died last Monday. He was popu-
lar genial kindly, and as a successful trotting horse breeder,
his* name was kn'own all over the world. AH CaW«m«»
will recollect that it was from him that Silas Skinner, of
Napa, purchased his celebrated stallion Alcona /<J0.

Says Fiat Justitia: Build your pedigree* upon thesolid ronk
of truth and yon need have no fear that they will tarn out to
be such exceedingly ephemeral structures that you may not
"suffer the winds of heaven to visit them roughly." Noth-

fullest discussion. It is only ebams and hombugs that shun
the light of day. Tne sooner we get rid of these the better.

bining power and speed. His breeding is one that
cannot be excelled. Ihe f am. lies on both sides being
noted for their gaineness and deftness, speaktn of
JUDGE McKINbTRT, Matt Storn, the well-known
trainer, says: "He is the fastest race-horse l ever saw
onthe Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of tlie present record." He
was start p-d In several races when not in condition to
run, and even then developed an aim, tint of speed that
is characteristic of the noted families from which he
descends. His performances are too well known to
need repetition here. Good judges of horses stite pos-
itively that there can be no doubt of his sire, as he is a
perfect picture of Grinstead, but rule oompels us to
name both sires.

Petaluma and Its Race Track.

By Ghim.

Daring the "back end" of last week a visit was paid to the
prosperous little city of Petalama, the main object being to
find out how badly Mr. Whitney's fast stallion Dawn, 2:19i,
had broken down. In the early portion of the week the
various resorts patronized by horsemen were filled with
rumors anent the breaking down of the chestnut horse, and
one of the daily papers even went so far as to say that Lee
Shaner was authority for the statement.

An early start enabled us to reach Petaluma shortly after
10 a. w,, and as we jumped off the hotel bus in front of
the "American," the first salutation we received was, "Hurry
to the track; they are working out Dawn " In a few minutes
we were at the scene of action, some half a dozen horses
being hard at work.

A look aronnd Bhowed many familiar faces, some there out
of curiosity, but the large majority watching horses that they
were interested in. Among those better known were J. H.
White, President of the P. C. T. H. B. A., Dr. I. M. Prcctor,
Dan Brown, of Volunteer fame, A. L. Whitney, owner of
Dawn, Dr. Maclay, President of the California Slate Veteri-
nary Society, Wilfred Page, Secretary of the P. C. T. H. B.
A., Martin O'Reilly and L. McDonald.

Sid Sperry, Lee Shaner, Jim Corcoran, Steve Crandall, A.N.
Burrell, Maddox, Frost and others, were driving the trotters
and pacers, preparing young and old for the arduous work
which many of them will have to undergo when they meet
their rivals on the circuit. Of the seventy-five or a hundred
who were present, at least one-half had watch in hand, in-
tently inspecting the time made by the various performers
in which an individual interest was felt. It would have been
hard work indeed to keep a record of all the horses, for the
quiet of the grand stand was constantly broken by remarks
which were being jumbled in together:

"Up, and the quarter in — "

"2:56 is pretty good for a — "

"Running horse would have made his — "

"Five-eighths in 1:39. and the mare — "

"Never had a harness on before — ''

And so it went, each one recording the doings of his favor-
ite, so that it was impossible to accurately get the time made
by any of them, but there are many that show signs of great
speed.

An inspection was made of the stables, the first string be-
ing that of Lee Shaner's. It is only natural to Buppose that
the Petaluma favorite Dawn, was the first to be criticised.
He had bandages on hiB legs, after a fairly fast mile, the first
and last quarters being very speedy even for this great son of
Nutwood, the middle half being done easy, still the mile had
been compassed in 2:24. I must confess that Dawn's legs do
not Buit me, to uBe an English expression they look "dick-
ey," if, however, he stands the preparation, look out for a
fast stallion record. As yet he has shown no inclination to
shirk his work, and owner and trainer have every confidence
that he can be brought to the post in condition, and I only
re-echo the sentiments of every Petaluma resident in saying,
here's hoping that Dawn may appear on the day of the stal,
lion race fit and well.

The nest stall contains a yearling filly by Dawn, dam Pa-
checo, by Hubbard. She has a big open gait, a good head,
splendid leg3 and Mr. Shaner says is very promising.

Little Joe is a light bay gelding by Junio, dam by a son of
Whipple's Hambletonian, He is the property of Mr. Alfred
Gonzales, of San Francisco, a3 are also Lot Slocum 2:l~i and
Kate Ewing both of whom are under the charge of Mr. Shan-
er. While looking over Slocum, the trainer was asked if he
had any objections to meeting Favonia 2:15, in the free-for-
all field, and his answer was "not at all, the more the mer-
rier, and I firmly believe that Lot can beat her, at
least we are willing to give her a trial and let

the fastest horse win." Slocum has only received easy
work as yet, 2:21£ being his fastest mile, but he has gone a
quarter in 33 seconds, showing that he has lost none of his
old time speed. Kate Ewing is also being gradually prepared
for her work and has not been pushed, but she shows as
speedy as ever.

A yearling colt by Sidney was much admired; his dam is
by the Grand Moor. He is a pacer and to mistake,
an eighth being covered at a 2:20 gait. Very fair for a Cali-
fornia yearling.

Another very fine Sidney^colt is out of Young Countess, by
Sam Patchen, 2nd dam Countess, the dam ot Dawn..

We next are shown a muscular youngster, two years old by
Dawn, dam Mollie Offutt, by Gen. McClellan. This one is
very promising and shows up well.

We now come to a yearling by a son of Carr's Mambrino,
which should prove a good one, but he is a little undersized,
and will want time to grow.

Mr. Shaner also haB a pacer eight years old by Marin, dam
by Abdallah. which is being conditioned, but this one will
want a lot of work to earn oats.

I was particularly well pleased with a beautiful young
stallion called Oaknut by Dawn, dam Miss Brown by Brown's
Volunteer, 2:27; second dam Maggie Dale by Owen Dale.
He is as pretty as a picture, and from all accounts will get a
record as a first class producer. His trainer feels sorry that
Oaknut had not been placed in his hands sooner, as he will
require plenty of work in order to give him a low record, and
the prospects are that he is very fast if properly handled. In
Oaknut his owner has a trotter of which he may well feel
proud.

Mr. C. C. Bemis, of San FranoiBCO, has had sent to Mr.
Shaner the seal brown stallion Lancelot. He is by Elec-
tioneer, out of Lizzie Harris by Comus; second dam by
Arnold Harris. Comus is by Green's Bashaw, dam Topsey
by Prophet, son of Hill's Black Hawk, Mr. Bemis has also
had put in training Cora B. by Saladin. She moves in per-
fect style, and should give her sire one in the 30 IiBt before
being sent to wiDter quarters.

Cleveland is another of the get of Dawn, and tolerably fast
for a yearling. This completes the list in Mr. Shansr's
stable, but he informed me that the fast stallion Junio, 2:22,
owned by Mr. Gonzales, would be sent up this week, and iB
probably there by this time. He is entered in the 2:20 stal-
lion stakes, and will make some of the entries hustle to beat
him.

The next stable was in charge of George Martin, but the
reception was not a cheery one, as George had just received
news of the death of Mr. E. Giddings, of San Rafael, who
owned the horses under his management. In the first Btall
was a yearling named Alta, by Duke Almont, dam Queen by
Hinman's Consul. He is a very large yearling, with plenty
of bone and muscle, and can trot very fast. There are many
who have seen this colt move that claim he had a mortgage
on all the stakes in which he is entered, but the decease of
the owner will make the entries void.

In the adjoining stall is found Edwin G. by Sidney, dam
by Dashaway. He is a light chestnut, three years old, and
moves just a trifle better than the average colt. He has made
several quarters in 3S, 39 and 40 seconds.

Captain Ben Harris, of San Francisco, has quite a number
here onder the BUDervision of John Blue, who is watching
the colts improve from day to day, and consequently feels
happy. Id the first stall is Lorena, two*year-old, black filly,
by Jim Mulvenna, 2:27f, dam by Elmo.

We now come to Harry Mac by Alexander Button 1997,
dam Young Rosedale, Harry being a full brother to Rosie
Mac, 2:20£. Although five years old he has never been
worked, but Mr. Blue fancies him very much.

A three-year-old, Clark Chief, by a son of Kismer, dam
Lady Clark, is a very fine colt, with a lot of "go" in him.

Brentwood is a son of Dawn, dam Sweetwood by Nutwood.
This colt is a perfect doll, kind, gentle and tractable, and if
the inbreeding does not act as a bar to his speed, will be a
good one.

Another engaging yearling is a filly called Starlight by
Dawn, dam Lena Bowles by Ethan Allen Jr. These five
should amply repay Captain Harris for the outlay he may he
at, as they are all good individually, and loook like bread
winners.

James Corcoran is a careful and attentive driver, who has
handled many horses in his day, but he thinks he now has
the best string ever placed in his care. Delmsss is by Al
Moon, dam Queen by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., and is the piop-
erty of C.B.Harris, Esq., of Brentwood. He is a loDg,
rangy colt, fine open gait, and has great individual merit.

Kollie fl. is a beautiful stallion, fuur years old, by Anteeo,
dam Humming Bird by Geo. M. Paichen Jr. Tnisisagrand
cross, as both families are great speed producers, and there
surely oan be no reason why Rollie H. should not be a great
success in the stud. He is being worked quietly and givea
satisfaction to his trainer, who predicts that he will be a
success on the track. Mr. N. R. Harris of Brentwood is the
fortunate owner of Rollie H.

The b g Cyrus next claimed attention, and although his
dam is not traced, he evidently gets speed from somewhere,
for there are very few green horses that can pace his gait.
His sire Beecher has not secured much renown as yet, still
Cyrus is likely to get a credit mark that will redound to the
sire.

Julia is two years oil and claims Electioneer as her great
grandsire, being by a grandson of that noted horse. The
dam of Julia is Miss Hellen by Gen. Benton, 2nd dam Nettie
George by Norfolk. Walter E. Dean, of San Francisco, is
the owner of Julia and has great hopes of her.

Mr. Whitney has a two-year-old bay filly by Dawn, dam
by Hubbard, that has been very mixed gaited, but is now
trotting as true as steel. She has not been named yet, but if
her performances equal her promide, Mr. Whitney says he
will name her on her first win.

Rowena is 6even years old, by Echo, da_n a thoroughbred
mare. Mr. Corcoran says Rowena suits him very well, and
is moving to his entire satisfaction. Mr. Pacheco, of Pacheco,
is the owner of Rowena.

A two-year-old by Abbottsford is the counterpart of the old
horse, the dam being Dolly by Carr's Mambrino. This beau-
tiful horse is owned by J. M. Donohue.

John Harrison, of Petaluma, has in the care of Mr. Cor-
coran, a yearling named Dusk, by Dawn, dam by Arthurton;
2nd dam by Whipple's Hambletonian.

Whaler is a yearling bay colt by Whalebone, dam by Gen.
McClellan, and claims as an owner Mr. Edwards, of Penn's
Grove.

We were next shown a colt which is a grand trotter, but
his blood lines would indicate that he might make a first-
class runner. He is by Anti-Pat {whose dam is a thorough-
bred mare) out of a thoroughbred mare. Anti-Pat was by
Anteeo, whose grand dam was a thoroughbred.

Mr. HinkJe was seen driving his well-known stallion
Whalebone, by Inca, dam by Henry Belmont, and it is no
wonder that he thinks so well of his horse, for it would be
bard to find one with more style. Whalebone had been away
for some time, and we saw the old gentleman driving him
for the first time in many weeks.

Mr. A. N. Burrell \s the trainer and manager for J. H.
White, the wealthy mine owner and farmer, who of
late years has turned his attention to breeding the
highest grade of trotters. In Hernanni, Mr. White

has a magnificent son of Electioneer, but not wishing to
restrict himself to the one line has also an unnamed four-
year-old by Director, dam Helen Benton by Gen. Benton:
second dam Nettie George by Norfolk. The be

the stable call him Peter Jackson, and "Pete" answers to his
name readily. He is a very level-headed stallion, bat has
been at the track en ch a short time that he is in no fix to
show how fast he can go. The best mile so far this season
for Peter is 2:44, which he made extremely easy, and there is
every liklihood of Director having another in the 2:30 list
before loDg.

Maico is another rare, good entire, by Elector, 2:21], dam
by Gen. McCleilan, his grandam being a full sister to St.
Helena, 2:27}. He was brought to the track at thp same
time as the other horses, and has had but little opportunity
to show what he can do, his best quarter being 39 seconds.
Marco likes his work and is improving every day.

Princess is a bay mare, no white, by Hernanni, dam Susie
by a son of Gen. McClellan. She bas only been given a half
mile at any speed, and the distance w. s negotiated in 1:23.

Dot is one of the largest and best two-year-olds that I have
seen this season. She is by Hernanni, dam Kitty Aimont by
Tiltou Aimont. The mare is a perfect model, chestnut in
color, and a conformation that will please the most fastidi-
ous. She has completed a mile in 3:15, the laat half being
finished in 1:21. She is well formed, splendidly muscled,
and developed enough for a three-year-old.

In the next stall is Kitty Aimont, dam of Dot. She is by
Tilton Aimont, dam by Hamlet, and it is easy seen on
examiniDg her where Dot get3 her great power and muscle
from. Kitty is put up on beautiful lines and has speed
enough when she receives a careful preparation, to warrant
her being considered fast. She has already shown a mile in
2:35.

Mountain Quail is. a fine appearing filly by Hernanni, dam
Annie by Gen. McClellan, 2J dam by imp. The Lawyer.

Alice is a four-year-old, full sister to Mountain Quail; she
trotted last year in 2:34£, and has already shown a quarter
in 35} seconds.

Joe is a two-year-old bay colt by Marco, dam old Kate by
Millimen's Bellfonnder. He was sent a mile while we were
present in 2:54, the last quarter being his fastest, in 40
Beconds. Mr. White is confident that Joe can keep up his
eod against anything in Sonoma county.

Another of the get of Hernanni is Henrietta, whose dam is
H. D. by Gen. McClellan. This mare has ffhe same easy
gait that made Nellie R so famous, and several persons made
the remark that it was impossible to tell any difference be-
tween the two. This filly is very fast as her opponents will
discover when they start against her.

John L. by Billy Lyle (he by Eleotor), is out of H. D. by
Gen. MeCltllan. This colt was given to Mr. Earrell's son by
Mr. White, and the young owner has entered him in the two-
year-old stake at Petaluma.

Another by Marco in the same stable is Straight -Edge, dam
Fanny by Gen. McClellan. He is a two year-old and shows
strong pacing proclivities.

On leaving Mr. White's string we found a chance to shake
hands with that old knight of the whip, Sid Sperry, as busy
as ever, and waiting for the day when another Nellie K. will
fall his way. He has strong hopes that the time is not far
distant as he now has in his stable, a half brother to that
noted trotter, called Dandy, by Gen. McClellan Jr., dam by
Bayswater; he is a light chestnut, four years old, and has a
good turn of speed. He is owned by Mr. Ferris, of Sonoma
County.

Clara Z , an iron gray, is by Capri, dam by A. W, Rich-
mond. Mr. Zane, of Healdsburg, owns this mare and if not
disappointed, will win a lot of money with her this season.

The light chestnut mare, Lelawas alluded to in the Breed-
er and bPoBTsaiAN when she trotted at Napa, on the 8th of
this month. She was then not far enough advanced in work
to show her best form, but is coming too rapidly. She is by
Rustic, dam by imp. Eclipse, and is owned by Mrs. Blis3, of
Petaluma.

We now come to another Anteeo filly, this one being Rosie
S. whose dam was by Sultan. Rosie is two years old and
has the appearance of a racer. Mr. Sperry owns this pro-
mising younester.

Kale Hinkle is a six-year-old mare by Grey McClellan, dam
by King Philip, he by Whipple's Hambletonian. This mare
belongs to Mr. Maynard, who is having her trained, not to
race, but for a road horse, as ha wants to drive a good one.

Mr. Sperry also owns another that looks well, Poco Tempo
by Auteeo, dam by Joe Daniels, 2nd dam by The Moor.

Boss is the last in the stable. He is aged, but has all the
vim of the more youthful ones. He is one of the get of Gladi-
ator, and can show a clean pair of heels to maDy of the
others at the track.

Still further along the immense line of 6tables Dan Misner
has bis quarters. Mr. De Turk's Anti Coolie is the principal
one of the string, and is rapidly getting down to work. He
is a very fast horse when at himself, and will be given a
chance on the circuit to distinguish himself.

Mattie P. is a clever mare who had her first race of the
year at Napa. Like many others who appeared there, she
was not in condition for hard work ana lost her race, bat
showed that she oould do much better if given the necessary
amount of exercise.

David S. is owned by Messrs. Misner and Wangfa. He has
a good open way of going which leads the partners to fancy
his chances when pitted against those of his class.

A yearling by Dawn completes the Misner stable, but this
well known driver has had applications from several other
parties asking aim lo train for them.

Mr. A. J. Zrtoe, of Heald iburg, bas a few of bis own which
he is paying particular attention to, among them being his

well known stallion Capri. This handsome horse is only
seven years old, and already has quite a reputation, as Clara
Z. made a yearlirjg record of 3:05, and a two-year-old record
of 2:45. She was started in five races, winning four of them.
Captor, another of his get, was beaten as a yearling at Sacra-
mento last fall in 2:5S, but is Bhowing up well this year.
Capri is a beautiful dark grey, of exquisite proportions, his
action and style beiDg of a high order. He was bred by
Daniel Cook, at the Cook Stock Farm. Capri is by JameB
Lick, by Homer, dam Lady Budd by old Belmont.

Mr. Zane also has Coustall, a two-year-old colt by Capri,
dam Fannie by A. W. Richmond. This colt is being pre-
pared for the colt stakes, in several of which he is entered.

Captor, who is spoken of b fore, is a grand appearing
three- year-old. He is by Capri, dam Fanny, being a full
brother to Coastal).

The irrepressible James Maddox is attending to the wants
of Ike Button's colt, Royal, by Bonanza. If this youngster
is any criterion to go by, Dick Havey's stallion should have
a full compliment of mares, as he is a perfect little beauty,
and Maddox says can go very fast for a yearling. Royal is
entered in the Vallejo Colt Stakes.

Topsey is a mare by E^ho, dam Miss Brown by Volunteer.
Dan Brown is the owner of this one, and claims she is as
good as any man's.

James O'Neil, of Petaluma, has in Maddox's care the seal
brown horse Frank O'Neil, who has made a trial of 2:30, and
can lower that mark considerably. The trainer seems to feel
sure he will come near touching the 20 mark. Frank O'Neil
is by Whippleton, dam Flight by Eclipse.

Maddox also has one of bis own, a two-year-old called
Mystic, by Rustic, dam Nellie by Gen. McCllellan, Jr., 2nd
dam by Billy Cheatham. Mystic will not be sent for a
record this year, as he is growing very rapidly; but even so,
he moves quarters very handily in 40 seconds.

Mr. McDonald has a couple of good ones, which he is gent-
ly exercising. 1 he first is Novato Chief, a four-ytar-old by
Warwick, be by John Nelson, dam Mollie B. by Norfolk. Mr.
McDonald has no trouble in sending this beautiful bay a
quarter in 40 Beconds, and it will not be long before he will
show a much faster gait.

The other one is Lillie Mac, three years old, by Auctioneer
Johnny, he by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr., dam by Belmont. She
is very high behind, giving the spectator an idea of Sunol.

We now come to the last stable, presided over by Walter J.
Frost. Gen. McPhersou is seven years old, a dark chestnut,
by Gen. McClellan, Jr , dam Sosie R., who is a full sister
to Nellie R. McPherson has never been trained, but Mr.
Frost is going to see this year what the stallion can do.

Josephine is an old mare, eleven years of age, by Gen.
McClellan, Jr., dam by Bay State Champion. She is a nicely
proportioned mare, and shows up well on the track.

Minnie B. is the last, but far from being the least, of the
large number of horses we have looked at. She is by Gen.
McClellan, Jr., her dam an Ulster Chief mare. Minnie R.
is extremely large and fat, and needs any quantity of work,
but Mr. Frost will see that she gets all she requires.

In company with Dr. Maclay, a drive was taken through the
handsome city and the various points of public interest
pointed out. Petaluma is particularly fortunate in having so
many manufactories, which give constaut emp'oyment to a
large number of hands. Flouring mills, woolen mill?, an
incubator factory, fruit packing firms and large wagon and
cart factories go to make up the source from which thousands
of dollars are expended weekly for wages.

In the great strife for wealth the town itself has not been
forgotten, and beautiful buildings are everywhere visible.

The Masonic fraternity have erected a commodious build-
ing on one of the main streets at an expense of S40,000, and
not to be outdone the Odd Fellows have had pat up, an ele-
gant iron front block. The banking institutions, of which
there are several, are noted for their wealth and standing,
being rated as high as those in many of the larger cities.
The New City Hall is justly considerel one of the finest
municipal buildings in the interior of the State, and is a
credit alike to both the architect and the enterprising citizens
who have engineered the movement for a Town Hall. When
speaking of the enterprise displayed by citizens I wish to say
a word in commendation of those who have so success-
fully managed to have the track fixed up in decent shape.
The new Board of Directors have worked with might and
main to make the association grounds second to none in the
State, and at present there is no one can find any fault with
the Petaluma race track. A new covering has been pat over
the entire circuit, making it very fast, and it is the generally
expressed opinion of those working horses there that it is the
peer of any in the State. I sincely trust that Petaluma will
fall to my share when Mr. Kerr makes out the "details" for
oar corps of reporters during the circuit, as the many warm
friends I have in that little Barg, makes me wish that I
could shake bands with them oftener than I do.

The Royal Commission on horse breeding in England has
undertaken investigation of the diseases and defects in horseB
which are hereditary and impair the vitality and value of
the horse to greater or less degree. The Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons bas supplied a report upon the subject.
In it thefollowiDg are named as faults and diseases which
nnfit stallions and mare alike for stud purposes: roaring,
whistling, side-bone, ringbone, curb, bone-spavin, bog-
spavin, shivering, cataract and navicular disease. In certain
cases these are also blemishes not to be disregarded; splint,
Btringhalt, contracted and week feet, bursal enlargements,
such as wind-gall and thorough-pin. The soundest breeding
standard is the obj°ct aimed at in the investigation.

A Visit to B. C. Holly's.

Situated some three miles from the old town of Vallejo i&
the race track now owned by B. C. Holly, whose name is
known to all breeders from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as the
gentleman who lately sold Woodnut to Robert Steele, of Phila-
delphia, for 520,000, and is now sorry that the sale was con.
sumated, for, if in this State his service fee for next season
would be higher than that of any stallion that ever stood in
California and his book would have been filled before the first
of next January. However, be that as it may, the celebrated
borse has gone, and Mr. Holly has done the next best thing,
purchased the very best stallion procurable in the Eist.

Having been invited tu take a look over the horses now be-
ing prepared for racing at the ' 'Fair Grounds" (as Mr. Holly's
place is called,) a call was made there a few days ago, by a re.
presentative of the Breeder and Sportsman". The proprietor
was away on business in the southern portion of the State, but
Mr. J.W. Walsh, the foreman, was kind enough to bring out
the racers for inspection, and a treat it was to see the highly-
bred animals as one after another was brought from the sialls
It is only natural to suppose that the head of the harem was
the first to call for criticism. He occupies the large box stall
which was occupied by Woodnut so long, but he seems just
as much at home as the old tenant did. His hind legs were
closely bandaged and a slight swelling was noticable jast
above the hoof, which Mr. Welsh explained was caused by
an accident since his arrival, while doing service in the stud.
A question as to his speed elicited the reply that Mr. Holly
had only given him slow general work, with a few fast eighths
and qnarters the be3t of the latter being finished in BoJt sec-
onds to an exercising cart. When it is considered that this
has been accomplished in the midst of a heavy 6easoD, the
time is most remarkable. Mr. Holly h»B madea good invest-
ment in buying Mountain Boy, for already applications are
pouring in from all quarters of the State, asking for terms
for next year. It will not be out of place to give the pedi-
gree of this new acquisition, as many of our readers will be
interested in knowing how this pearl of great price is bred,
and also what has been produced from the blood that flows
in his veins.

Br s Mountain Boy, 4S41, bred by Charles Backman,
Orange County, New York, foaled 1SS2, sire Kentucky Prince,
dim Elsie, by Messenger Daroc; grandam Green Mountain
Maid, 3d dam Shanghai Mary.

Speed Elements.— Kentucky Prince, 2470, trotted a public
trial at Fleetwood in 2:2S, and is sire of Guy 2:12, Spoff nd

2:21j, Cypress 2:22. Sweepstakes 2:244, Problem 2:24}, Com-
peer 2:25 J, Jersey Prince 2:27^, and Stsvie 2:29}; he alfio got
the sire of J. Q. 2:17}. Elise is full sister to Elaine 2:20 (dam
of Norlaine 2:314, fastest yearling record), Prospero 2:20, and
Dame Trot 2:22. Clark Chief, 89, was sire of Croxie 2:19k
Woodruff Chief 2:22} at five years, Blanche Amorv 2:26,
John E. 2:28f. and two others in the list. His blood is" found
higher in the records than that of any other son of Mambrino
Chief, and appears in three trotters with records averaging
2:14. Messenger Daroc, 106, got Elaine 2:20. Pros-p-ro 2:20, <
Dame Trot 2:22. Charley Champlin 2:21$, John D. 2:23$
Troublesome 2:25.}, Star Daroc 3:25}, Hogarth 2:26 at four

2:18}, Company 2:19f, Femme S:>le 2:20. Fallis 2:23, Invinci-
ble 2:23, and Bix others in the list. Green Mountain Maid
was dam of Elaine 2:20, Prospero 2:20, Dame Trot 2:22,
Mansfield 2:26, Storm, 2:26£. Antonio 2:2S|, and Electioneer
(37 in the list). Harry Clay, 45. record 2:29 in 1S64, was t
of Surprise 2:26, Sbawmut 2:26. and the famous Green
Mouutain Maid, dam of six in the 2:30 list. He also got the
dams of St. Julien 2:11}, Bodine 2:19}, and other fast one?.

Where is there another stallion in the State that can show
such speed lines? Now as to the individual himself; he is a
beautiful brown, with fine head, combining strong marks of
intelligence, a shapely neck, set in a sturdy pair of shoulders,
great depth from the withers to the elbow, a splendid body,
heavy quarters, and plenty of muscle. His bone might be a
trifle heaver without detriment, but still, taken all in all, he
will be eageily sought after by those of California's breeders J
who wish a first class out cross for the choice mares, of which 1
there are so many in this State.

Mr. Holly also has a number of other stallions at Holly-
wood Breeding Farm, from which the seeker after variety
may take his choice:

Ch s Happy Prince, 16 hands, sire Bayonne Prince, 2:214,.
dam Belle Medium, full sister to Mott Medium, 2:29}, by
Happy Medium, sire of Maxey Cobb, 2:13£, with 39 othen.
in the 2:30 list; second dam Belle Vernon, dam of Motl
Medium, 2:29}, by General Mott, who showed a mile in 2:2<
third dam by James K. Polk, thoroughbred; fourth dam by

Highland Laddie; fifth dam Conover Mare. Belle Mediun

is a rare combination of the breeding of Hnmbletonian, Prin
ceBs, Sherman, Black Hawk, American Eclipse and Grey
Highlander.

B c Mart Boorhem by Sydney, 2:19$; first dam T^~head
by Echo; this colt is a fail brotaer to St. Niohqj
showed a mile in 2:27| at three years old.

After the stallions had been inspected, the queen of the
pacing world, Yolo Maid, was brought out of her comfortable
stall, and what a difference from last year; she has grown
and expanded wonderfully since last seen on public exhibi.
tiou, and is the beau ideal of what a great race horse should
look like. Tho young man in charge of Yolo Maid haB looked
after her sines she was first broken, and it was with every
feeling of confidence that he said: "She can beat any on
earth paciDg, sir-," and the writer is inclined to believe the
statement. That Bhe has lost none of her last years speed is

an assured fact, and probably no one but Mr. Hoppin, her
late owner, and Mr. Holly, really know bow fast sbe is this
year. Her performances in the past are of too recent date to
summarize them here, as all frequenters of the track have
seen the marvelous mare in some of her victories.

San Diego, the converted, pacer, came in for a due Bhare of
attention, and it can all be summed up in the few words,
"he looks splendid." His pacing record is 2:22, and it will
not surprise any one who saw him at Napa to hear that he
makes a trotting record equally low. Mr. Holly has nursed
him with great care, and deserves immeasurable credit for
the success he has attained with this son of Victor. It is
rather strange that Wallace's year book giveB his dam as
untraced, when it is known to almost every one that on the
maternal Bide he is a descendant of Dietz's St. Clair.

Vesolia is an exceedingly fine bay filly, three years old, by
StanibouL, dam Inez, by The Moor. At Stockton last year
she gained a record of 2;29£. Mr. Holly started her at Napa,
and although she won two heats in 2:31$ and 2:32i. she was
not equal to a hard bruisiDg race so early in the season, and
was beaten out by Cora C. This promising young Ally will
be taken on the Montana circuit, when it is to be hoped that
sbe will be better prepared to meet her competitors.

A very fine yearling by Woodnut, dam by Gen. Taylor,
made an excellent appearance and is possessed of much

Woodside is usuallycalled the Skinner Colt, as he is owned
by Mrs Silas Skinner of Napa. He is by "Woodnut, dam by
Alcona Clay. He is the perfect image of his sire, and can
beat three minutes all to pieces.

Wood Tick, by Woodnut, is another of _ the get of that
celebrated sire, and moves with splendid gait, going very
free and easy.

Running in a paddock by himself was a yearling called
Vernon, by Mount Vernon, 2:21, dam Brown Bess, by Clif-
den, son of Iowa Tuckahoe, 2od dam Pougbkeepsie Girl, by
Hambletonian 10. It was worth all the journey to see this
little one start off at a good square trot when a noise was
made behind him. A beautiful and fast colt, he is bound to
make his mark, bar accident.

From the stables a walk was taken to the large enclosure
where the brood mares are kept, and the very first to come
forward to meet the visitors was Lisette, four years old, by
Abdallah Wilkes, 7562, dam Musette, by Startle, 2:15. She
is a very dark brown, two white feet, star in forehead, and
stands \o\- hands in height, Lisette was purchased at one of
the Eastern sales by Mr. Holly, and has been bred to Moun-
tain Boy.

Economy, by Echo, has a suckling foal at her side by
Woodnut.

There are quite a number of Mr. Holly's mares in the
large field, representing the get of Gus. Albert W., St. Elmo.
Echo, Geo. M. Patchen Jr., and Mambrino Eclipse, in addi-
tion to the thoroughbreds: Ninena, by Jim Brown, dam
Nannie Hubbard, has a good foal at her side by Ironclad;
Fusilade's Last has been bred to Sid. The last of the colts
worthy of notice is "John M-ickey." He is now a yearling
and can show a good gait, although the viciousness of his
family deters many from examining his legs, which are rather

seers. When the dogs bark at him he Btarts off at a 2:40 clip
and soon distances his pursuers. This trotter is a muie.
Next week we will tell what was seen at Capt. Drakes' farm,
the home of old Admiral.

Shoeing Horses.

Aflvlce Tliat Every Blacksmith Should I'arefnlly
Follow.

Year by year the number of farmers who do their own
blacksmithing, or at least their horse shoeing, increases. As
the safety and comfort of the horse are the two main objects
to be gained by shoeing, the following extracts from an arti-
cle by Allan Eric, in the Ploughman, will be suggestive to
those of our readers who personally shoe their horses, C*
wiBh to know that it is dune rightly by their blacksmith.
He thinks that the ordinary system of horse shoeing is rude
and irrational, and is the main cau&e of most-lameness, and
of the majority of falls in riding and drivine. Chief among
its faults are the attempts to fit the foot to the shoe, instead
of the shoe to the foot. After the cautious removal of the
old shoe, the crast on which it rests generally requires to be
pared down with a parer or drawiug knife, and its edge after-
ward rounded with a rasp. Any ragged portions of the
frog should also be taken off; and this, I believe, should in-
clude all of the allowable paring or dressing ot the horse's
foot.

The horny wall intended as a covering and protection of
the sensitive" parts beneath; the tough, elastic frog, an insen-
sible pad which obviates concusBion, and preserves the foot
wide and free from contraction; the bars, an involution of
the cruBt, which helps it to support weight and give it lateral
support, are all too valuable and necessary to be ruthlessly
cutaway, and in all ordinary cases should be scrupulously
preserved from both knife and rasp. For sound, healthy
feet treated as advised, a plain shoe is preferable for saddlt
or harness horses. The web need not exceed three-fourths
-»f an inch, and should titthe crust closely and accurately all
ne way round to the heels, where its inner edge will rest
upon the strong and uncut bars. Nowhere should there be>
sny overlapping, for it only renders the shoe more apt to cut
the opposite limb, and be torn off on heavy ground. To
lesson the chances of tripping, and make the shoe wear
equally, it should for the fore feet be turned up slightly, and
its ground surface hollowed out a little at the toe, so as to
present the appearance of Bn ordinary shoe which has been
worn for a fortnight or three weeks, and which, as everyone
knows, is thereby rendered more safe and comfoitable. By
tnrning up at the toe, these advantages are secured at once.
For saddle or light harness work, three nails on the out and
two on the inside will firmly secure aDy well-made, well-fit-
ting shoe.

The nail holes should always be counter sunk; by this I
mean carefully and sufficiently counter-sunk, and be nearly
in the center of the web, and pass straight through it, thus
giving the nails a firmer hold of the firm, unrasped crust.
The points of the nails, when driven home, should be broken
over and laid down with the hammer, but not touched with
the rasp. The rasping of the crust, which blacksmiths fondly
regard as their finishing stroke, is very injurious, as it re-
moves the unctuous, protected portions of the crust, and ren-
ders it weak, brittle and liable to crack. Shoes should be
replaced every three weeks, or month at the longest.

In shoeing the hind feet the outside web Bhould be turned
slightly down behind, while to give an equal bearing the in-
side heel should be thickened. For heavy draught, both hind
and fore shoes should have moderate tips and heels not too
prominent, as of oourse these enable the horse to exert his
full power without much risk of slipping. Instead of the
five nails used for the lighter horse seven or eight should be
used in this case. — (Horse and Stable.)

BASE BALL.

At the Haight St. grounds on Saturday, the San Franciscos
and Stocktons played a fairly good game for two innings,
and then gave as poor an exhibition as has been seen on the
grounds this year.

Neither pitcher was very effective, the San Franciscos get-
ting 12 safe hits off Baker, and the Stocktons 13 off Meegan's
delivery. Van Court umpired the game and his decisions
were very unsatisfactory to the majority of those present.
The S^n Franciscos had the best of the game throughout,
defeating their opponents by a score of 15 to 6.

Colored Ball Players.

The Enterprise Club, composed of the colored employes of
the Palace Hotel, turned out Sunday and played a hotly con-
tested game at the Center-Street grounds, Oakland, Cal.
Few errors were made, and the San Franciscos seemed to

rank decisions of the umpire, all of which favored the Oak-
land players, who won by a score of 10 to 5.

A Pacific Coast Association.

In answer to the letter sent out to prominent horsemen,
He, a Pacific Coast Association, the following letters have
been received in reply:

Chico, June 24, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Your circular letter of
the 19th is at band. I desire simply to say that in my
opinion, if those interested on the Paci6c Slope can act
unitedly, we would be better served by having a society of
our own. I have been connected with the association at this
place for twelve years, and have not always been satisfied
with the treatment which we received from Hartford, and
am in favor of having a meeting sometime this fall or winter,
that the matter may be intelligently discussed. I am traly
yours, C. C Mason.

Napa, Cal., June 24th, ISS9.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In my opinion the
formation of a Pacific Coast Trotting Association, on the
same plan as the National and the American Trotting Associ-
ations, is practicable and advisable. Respectfully,

L. L. James,
President Solano and Napa Agricultural Association.

Los Angeles. June 22, 1889.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Yours of the 19th con-
cerning a Pacific Coast Trotting Association at hand. I have
had pleasant business relations with both of the Eastern
Associations, but I must say, that this Coast derives less
benefit, with greater expense since the formation of the new
association than before, purely owing to the failure of each
to honor or enforce the penalties of the other.

A Coast association that will establish a rule agreeing to
sustain the action of all Eastern trotting and racing associa-
tions, will surely be a success. An important after -considera-
tion will be the membership of the Pacific Blood Horse Asso-
ciation. Count on me to further a Coast association every
time. It is economy. Yours,

E. A. DeCamp.

Sacramento, Cal., Judo 21, 18S9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Your circular letter
under date of Jone 19th, asking for the personal opinion of
all interested in the subject of forming a Pacific Coast Trot-
ting Association on the same plan as the National and Amer-
ican Trotting Associations, has been received.

In answer thereto would say, that at one time I gave this
subject considerable attention, and, at first thought, con-
cluded it was both proper and feasible that we should have a
distinct organization on this coast. I believe I wrote i n
article for the Breeder and Sportsman' on this subject, and
was enthusiastically in favor of such an organization, and
straightway began to build up hopes.

The sources for its snpport was the first question at issue.
I referred to a list of associations in California, Oregon and
Nevada, and found there was but twenty-eight in tbese
States that hid taken membership in the National (at that
time the National was the only trotting association io eiist-
er ce).

Tbe assessments of these members were classified at from
$25 to $150 each; of the latter amount there was but one
paid that. A fair average would probably have been $.'5.
making an income from assessments $9S(J per annum. In
addition to this each member was charged $6 for the neces-
sary equipments, embracing judges and member's books,
copies of rules, etc., making $168, or say a total — providing
all would join — of $1,148 per annum to maintain the iostUu-

tion; the only other probable resource would be fines and
penalties, which yon know would be very small for this nam-
berof members.

From this income mu^t be paid the salary of secretary,
office rent and printing. We all koow an organization of
this kind would require the constant attendance of an official
that is thorough in every way, otherwise any laxity on his
part would ruin the object ol the association. In my opin-
ion the list of membership that an organization of this kind
would be likely to eet, would not warrant the employment of
a competent officer, that should be peculiarly titted for this
position, one that would see to the enforcement of all rules
and to the proper keeping of records, etc.

If this were not done, and by inattention, or any other
cause, the records wore once found incorrect, would it not
cast a reflection upon our stock aud cause us to be charged
with "running a side show" for the benefit of the few, by
those whom we expect to sell our produce?

As the custom now prevails, we have a Court of Appeals,
presided over by a tribunal who have no particular locality
ut heart, and are "prepared to pass upon all questions without
regard to section or state, and as it is the hope of our breed-
ers to supply the nation, let us maintain and support a
national tribunal to pass upon our actions and the records.

Local organizations are proper enough udou some subjects,
but upon this question, which to my mind concerns the
breeding interests of the United States, I say, let us maintain
a principal organization, and let that be a national one;

Some will, no doubt, say this organization could be man-
aged by some one engaged in other business, but I have
always found complicated duties akin to the "Jack of all
trades" proposition.

Organize, if you will, an association open to all, and strive
for membership throughout the United States, but I am
opposed to sectionalism upon a national issue, and were I
a breeder of trotters, should certainly want California set in
the galaxy of stars, and there to be the most brilliant one.
Respectfully,

Edwin F. Smith.

Chico, Cal., June 24, 1S89.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Replying to your cir-
cular letter of tne 19ch concerning the organization of a
Pacific Coast Trotting Association, I will say on behalf of this
Association, that while I have not had an opportunity to
obtain the views of all the Directors, those I have consulted
are unanimous in their endorsement of the scheme, and I
have no donbt the others hold the same views.

The benefits to be derived are innumerable. The princi-
pal, and one that should be conclusive being, that there
might be an opportunity sometime during the natural life of
a Board of Directors, to get a settlement with the head office,
provided it be located at some point where a personal inter-
view would be rendered practicable.

The situation as it now stands, with two associations and
the California tracks divided about equally between the two,
affords little, if any, protection to the subscribers to either.

We belong to the National, and horses and owners sus-
pended on this track are racing over every American track in
the State, aud we are powerless to help ourselves. I pre-
sume the' reverse of this is the case in many instances.
Yours truly, Jo. D. Sproul.

Secretary 3rd Dist. Agl. Asso.

Sa^t Francisco, June 24, 1S89,

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Answering your in-
quiry as to my views of the subject of forming a Pacific
Coast Trotting Association, I would say that Buch an associa-
tion might be of some advantage to the trotting interest of
the Pacirio Coast, provided the different district associations
weBt of the Rocky Mountains would give it their support,
and men could be enlisted who were competent and willing
to discharge the duties of the several offices.

At the present time the Pacific District Board of the
National Trotting Association is disposing of all cases as
promptly and satisfactorily as would be done by the proposed
new association, but it is claimed that since the formation in
the East of the American Trottiog Association, a divided
interest and conflict of authority prevails, which might be
avoided as far as we are concerned, if the Pacific Coast would
unite and form a separate association for their own govern-
ment.

Without united and harmonious action on the part of the
district associations, the conflict would be only increased
instead of diminished. The success of the new association
will depend upon a unity of the districts, a competent secre-
tary and a liberal support.

At present there are twenty-three district associations west
of the Rocky Mountains members of the National Trotting
Association to-wit, nineteen from California, two from
Nevada, one from Oregon and one from Washington Terri-
tory. I do not know how many, if any, from this coast
belong to the American Trotting Association.

The whole expense of supporting a Pacific Coast Trotting
Association must be borne by the members from the Pacific
Coast, and it will be qnite an important factor to know what
it will cost to equip and run a separate association; for,
unless we are determined to run it well.it should not be
undertaken.

My opinion is that to secure good service and manage-
ment, the cost of membership will be no less than it is at
present, bnt we would be free from the conflict of the East-
ern Associations, and the proBpect of increase of the number
of district associations on the Pacific Coast might in time
warrant our being separate and independent.

The National Association has acquired an authority and
power over matters within their jurisdiction which is supreme,
and thiB anthority is firmly and fairly exercised. It was
incorporated by an Act of the State of Connecticut, giving it
power to make laws and regulations, not inconsistent with
the laws of the State, and to enforce them by fines and penal-
ties, which it shall have the right to collect and enforce by
suit, or by suspension or expulsion. Its management is
intrusted to men of experience and influence, and its rules
have become the law of the trotting world.

It is an important question to consider whether we shall
form a local organization and become responsible for its man-
agement or remain with the old association and strengthen
its National character bv giving it our support.

I should like to see the National and American Trottiog
Associations amalgatod into one. One association well man-
aged, with a National reputation, would be more to the
advantage of the trotting interest than u division of strength
and conflict of authority.

If the association on the Pacific Cjast are resolved to have
a separate organization, they must determine to meet the
expense and enter into the spirit and responsibility of its
nmi.iigemtnt with sufficient zeal and interest to insure its
bcc less. Yours truly,

N. T. Smith.

Ergotism.

At the California State Veterinary Association meetiDg
a very interesting lecture on the above subject was read by
Dr. Spencer, of San Jose, and as there has lately been a good
deal of discussion about ergot and the results therefrom we
print the article in full, especially as it contains a variety of
valuable information from such an eminent practical authori-
ty as the Doctor.
Mr. President and Gentlemen:

Those members who were present at the last meeting will
undoubtedly remember that I made a few remarks bearing
upon the disease known as "Ergotism." Our President
evidently deemed the subject of interest, and requested that
I introduce it at our next meeting, and while it affords me
great pleasure to comply with his request, I sincerely wish it
had fallen into abler bands. Any failure on my part I trust
you will attribute rather to the lack of ability than to want
of inclination, or opportunity to acquire the information.

The term -'Ergotism" has been applied to the poisonous
effects of ergot in rye.

History tells us that this affection made its appearance at a
very early date, and from time to time it has manifested itself
in epidemics since the days of Claudius Galinus, commonly
called Galen, and who was celebrated as a physician in Rome
about A. D. 160.

In A. D. 992 there was a wide spread and deadly epidemic
in France. Two yearB later it again appeared in the same
territory, and in 1041 it was prevalent in Eogland, France
and Germany. Then forty-eight years later, in 10S9, it was
rife throughout the Continent, and especially was it preva-
lent in the western parts of Lorraine, where many personB
(so says an old author) became putrid in consequence of their
inward parts being consumed by St. Anthony's fire. Their
limbs were rotten and became black, like coal. They either
perished miserably or, deprived of their putrid hands and
feet, were reserved for a miserable life. Moreover, many
cripples were affected with contraction of the sinews [nervo-
rum contractio). After an absence of ten years, and covering
a period of more than a century, it was more or less preva-
lent in France aDd Spain. In 1598. in Germany, and at
numerous dates from 1694 till 1754 it appeared in various
countries in Europe.

In America reference is made to it about 1820; and in
March, 1884, you may remember there was an outbreak of it
among the cattle, near Neosho Falls, Kansas, which created
not a little excitement in its having been at first prooonnced
foot and mouth disease by a number of veterinarians, and
confidence was not re-established until extended investiga-
tions were made by the Bureau of Animal Industry, through
Dr. SalmoD, its veterinary in chief.

NATURE AND ACTION OF EEGOT.

The substance known as ergot is one of the stages in the
growth and maturity of a fuDgus, which has been named
Claviceps purpurea, and the term ergot was applied to it by
the French from its fancied resemblance to the spur of a
cock. The first botanical writer who notices ergot is Lonice-
rus. Chambers says it begins to show itself on the germen of
grasses when it is young. Different parts of the flower assume
a mildewed appearance and become covered with a white
coating composed of a multitude of spore-like bodies mixed
with delicate cobweb-like filaments; a sweet fluid, at first
limpid, afterwards viscid and yellowish, is exuded; the
anthers and stigmas are cemented together; the ovule Bwells
till it far exceeds the size of the natural seed, bursts its liga-
ments, is enlongated, and is often curved, sometimes carry-
ing on its apex a cap formed of the stigmas and anthers
agglutinated, and assumes a gray, brown, purple and finally
a black color, as the viscid exudation dries and hardens. The
structure differs very much from that of the properly devel-
oped seed. The qualities are not less different; nearly one-
half of the whole substance consists of fungin; and the cells
contain, instead of starch globules, a fixed oil (oil of ergot).
Ergot appears to have been first discovered on rye, in which
it is very conspicuous for the large Bize it attains, though it
very frequently makes its appearance on other ceTeals, par-
ticularly on barley, wheat and maize. It was supposed to be
a disease occasioned by wet seasonB or other climatic causes,
but it is now fully determined to be due to the presence of
the mycelium of a fungus, the spores of which may be carried
to the flower through the juices of the plant, for thero is
reason to believe that ergot in a field of grain may be pro-
duced by infected seed; and this is undoubtedly the reason
that the fields of which I Ehall presently speak are affected
year after year.

THE ACTION OF ERGOT ON THE ANIMAL BODY.

According to Diez, the principal effects of poisonous dose8
of ergot are in the lower animals profuse salivation, vomit-
ing, dilation of the pupils, hurried breathing, frequent pulse,
cries, trembling, staggering, paraplegia, sometimes diarrhoea,
sometimes constipatiuu, thirst, convulsions and death.

Mr. S. A. Wright, in a series of experiments (Edinburgh
Medical and Surgical Journal) noted when the medicine was
given by the mouth symptoms similar to those jnst spoken
of, the paralysis was much more marked than the spasms.
Late in ihe poisoning the heart's action became irregular and
intermittant, and the pulsations, which had been rapid,
grew slow and feeble. In some cases special senses seemed
to be destroyed, ^nd coldness of the surface was a marked
symptom.

Fleming, in his Manual of Veterinary Science and Police,
says: "The ergot of rye, wheat, etc., has given rise to
extensive disease in man, animals and birds, marked by con-
vulsions, paralyBis, dry gangrene of the limbs, Iofs of hair
and horn, and other strange phenomena."

The above summary of the general symptoms caused by
poisonous doses of ergot show that the phenomena are mainly
paralytic in their nature, and, on the whole, it is probable
that the chief action of the drug is upon the nerve centers.
Now, Mr. President and geotlemen, as it would occupy too
much of your valuable time for me to give you a description
of the many experiments and observations that have been
made with this drug, both iu this and other countries, I will
proceed to give yon a coucise report of the disease as brought
imder my notice in Santa Clara County, thiB State.

1 he aniojJs that I have been consulted about have been
fed on hay grown on a raDch near Santa Clara. Said ranch
is on rath*r high ground, the soil beiog of that rich black
character known in this country as adobe. It is extremely

productive, and in no way distinctive from adjacent places,
where a superior quality of hay has been produced annually
for more than a quarter of a century, and the use of whioh
has never proved deleterious to horses, cattle, Bheep or hogs;
but when forced to eat the hay grown on the ranch in ques-
tion the loss of hoofs, horns, manes and tails is by no means
au unusual occurrence— horses and even cows exhibiting all
the symptoms of acute Laminitis and shedding, as before
stated, their hoofs or horns, as the caBe may be.

The following symptoms are as exhibited by the animals
that came under my observation: Tenderness and heat in
the feet; swelling at the coronet; great disinclination to move;
temperature considerably elevated for the firBt few davs. but
gradually subsiding; secretions normal; appetite voracious.
At the expiration of a week or ten days the lameness some-
what subsides and remains so until immediately before cast-
ing the hoof, when the animal can scarcely be induced to
move. However, as soon as the old horn is cast they at
once assume their natural vigor. In milch cows the secre-
tion of milk is usually suspended.

There is undoubtedly a great deal of difference in these
symptoms as compared with those observed by Prof. Salmon
during the outbreak in Kansas but we must not forget that
the disease manifested itself there at a time when the weather
was very cold, and I think cold has a tendency to aggravate
the spmptoms. Fnrthtr, we must remember that insufficient
dosesor a poor quality of the agent in Question would modify
the symptoms very much.

The treatment I have found most beneficial is a radical
change of diet, fomen'ations of the feet for the purpose of
allaying the primary inflammation, then blistering the coro-
nets to stimulate the growth of new horn.

In the course of my experience I have never known an
animal to be permanently injured by the malady. On the
contrary, I know of several iiortes that were accidentally
eigotised by the use of the hay in question, who had been
sufferers from contracted feet and corns, and who, when re-
covered from the effects of the ergoted hay. had very good
and well-shaped feet. And I think that perhaps the* fodder
that has proved so baneful to so many innocent victims
might be turned to goo 1 account in the treatment of seedy-
toe and other diseases afflicting the horny structure. This is
a point I hope will be discussed.

.Before closing I wish to relate an iDBtance of a mare with
foal in utero. The mare became afflicted with ergotism, but
carried her foal full time. "A'ben born, however, it was with-
out any horny covering to the feet, except a narrow band of
apparent new growth at the coronets. The foal liven and
thrived for a few dayB, but the owner, thinking him a help-
less case, destroyed him. ThiB I regret very much, as I
think the growth of horn over the apparently withered parts
would have proved interesting and instructive.

Horses and Accomplishments.

There was solid sense in the remarks of the farmer who
said that his experience had taught him that he could raise a
good horse at as little cost aB he could raise good cattle, good
sheep, good swine, and he did not intend to raise aay of
either kind unless the good— the best he could breed from.
He estimated his live stock by kinds, by expense of raising*
and by profit from sales. He could get so much per pound
for his cattle, for his sheeD and for his hogs. With his
horses he had learned that he could get twice and quadruDle
per pound, for his ordinary quality, and that for an extraor-
dinary colt or horse he could Dame no figure, because all es-
timated figures had been surpassed at sales. There is no
lottery in breeding, as values go. Yet there is the more at-
tractive quality of the lottery in breeding horses. Od6 splen-
did colt, the product of intelligent breeding, may enrich the
breeder. The farmer who breeds a favorite and valuable

mare to a noble and famous sire— no matter as to the cost

tindB himself the happy owner of a colt who shall prove a
beater of records. Tnat colt makes the farmer a rich man
Bhculd he sell; a richer and more priaefnl man should he
refuse to sell and put the horse in proper hands, for the turf
or for the stud, or both. Pedigree, breeding and speed are
the commanding qualities. The limit cannot be told in
value. But this limit is itself a fortune to the breeder be-
yond the wealth reckoned as a competency forty years ' ago
Values have advanced with other progress in everything de-
sirable by wealth.

Doubtless the Spokane, now the most famous of the
American racing turf, could have bfen bought as a oolt for
less huhdreds of dollars than he now can command in tens
of thousands of dollars. He is the beater of great Proctor
Knott the pride of Kentucky, the favorite of the foremost
in rank of the American turf. It is phenomenal vet it is
possible to every intelligent breeder in the country/whether
he reckons his acres by thousands or by tens The richest
may not breed the champion colt to prove the world-beater
Upon some secluded, small farm the colt may be bred if the
farmer is intelligent and breeds his horses on an intelligent
system. His horse at once makes the farmer rich and fam-
ous. The winning of the capital prize in the lotterv cannot
so much exalt and honor him. His intelligence, and not his
luck— which the idiot may have— has enriched aud celebrated
him. He becomes great because he has manifested wisdom
in his management.

California now possesees the finest breeding farms in the
United States— in thoroughbreds— runners and trotters The
best blood of England has its representatives here for the
runmDg turf; no country can equal our owd in the quality
of trotters, and with Eleciioneer and Wilkes, StambouL and
the blood of Clay, Patohen, Mambrino, Abdullah, and the
mighty Hambletomans, the world is safely challenged on this
side. Yel the California farmer can secure any of this
regnant blood to Bire hiB uhosen mare at much less cost than
their richer brethren in the East can secure breeding to the
mediocre class. Here is opportunity. It is exceptionable.
Why go to Kentucky for a sire when in the great annual sales
in New York, the metropolis of horse sales— as it is of finance
commerce, enterprise and fashion— the California bred horses
and cattle oversell any from Kentucky? Cbarity begins at
home; why should not judgment and the elements of busi-
ness—which lead to the source of supply ot all countries as
eSampIed in their contributions to those upon whom cbar,*y
comes as the dew from heaven descends upor the craving
earth— likewise have root at home? This coast is producing
the beet horses. Shall the generations now coming into
activity recede and produce inferior grades of men '> It is the
repetition in this nineteenth century ot the ancient puzzle o'
Parmemdes, of Achilles and the tortoise— if Achilles run ten"
timeB as fa.t as the tortoise, yet a* the torto:se has the start.
Achilles can nevtr overtake him. Ergo: because the Atlantic
had more than two huudred years the start of the Pacific the
people of the greater ocean of the world, of the greatest
vigor of this Western shore, can never overtake or excel the •
people of that smaller ocean, of their slower methods

It was the gold dog out of California which gave impetus
to the energies of the Atlantic. Tbey were tbe pick of the
Atlantic, bravely adventuring to the Pacific, who dug and
broad scattered this illimitable wealth of gold. Enterprise
blossomed and the fruits are still in reapng. It was a Cali-
fornia company of mighty enterprise who banded the conti-
nent with iron rails andjmade transportation expeditious —
from the space of months to tbe space of days. They are
California breeding farms which are sending to the East, the
winners of the turf There are domains yet to conquer. In
agriculture these have been conquered. In the breeding of
superior horses, the end is not vet. It is the pleasant con-
templation of every California farmer that it is within his
means and province to produce the world-beater in horses.
To this determination tbe"farmers of California should come.
There is great profit in it; there is State pride; there is the
pride of the crowning breeder. It is in the Hue of horses and
accomplishments. 1 n "Eureka!" every California breeder
can imagine himself the modern Archimedes.

"What the Sidneys ar-6 Doing1.

It is just four years ago since the first of Sidney's progeny
were foaled, and there were seventeen of them to make a
name for their sire if possible. That he has demonstrated
his ability to produce speed goes without saying, as Adonis
and Gold Leaf made a reputation for him last year that
enhanced the price of the colts sold by Mr. Valensin at the
New York combination sale, held in the early part of this
year. Askiug Mr. Rowen a few days ago how the horses at
the Oiklaud track were doing, he spoke very flatteringly of
Mr. Dielz's pair. One is a pacer called Longworth, who
gives every indication of beiug as fast as the balance of the
family. As yet he has been given but little work, still John-
ston, the driver, has taken him a quarter in 34 seconds, and
an eighth in 15 seconds. As a three-year old Mr. Rowen
drove him a full mile in 2:25, and feels confident that with
any sort of fair luck he will make a mark far below 2:20. Long-
worth is by Sidney, dam Grey Dale by American Boy Jr.
Grey Dale is the dam of Silver Threads.

The other four-year-old belonging to Mr. Dietz is Ring-
wood by Sidney, dam Alma by Dashaway. Last Saturday
Johnston trotted Ringwood a first mile in 2:31 and a second
one in 2:26J, the middle half being completed in 1:12. These
two, in conjunction with Adonis, 2:14^, Gold Leaf, 2:15,
Memo, trial 2:20}, St. Nicholas, trial half mile 1:10, and
Sister V., whom no one but Mr. Goldsmith knows how fast
she can go, not forgetting Sid Julien and Highlander, makes
a showing for Sidney's first foals that any one might well feel
proud of. There is every reason to predict that at least one-
half of his get of 18S5 will be in the 2:30 list before the end
of this season.

Sen Simeon Breeding" Farm.

Better Skill of Trainers and Drivers.

"Written for the Breeder and Spoilsman.
In the breeding and management of trotting horses there
has been marked and very great improvement during the last
half century! Likewise has there been notable and very
great improvement in the skill, knowledge and tact of the
trainers and drivers of trotters, in the same period. It used
to be the custom to train and race trotters under the saddle,
the same as running horses. That practice has long been
discarded as an error in bringing the trotter to bis best speed
and performance. The old eulky was, in comparison with
the sulky of this day, a coarse, heavy and clumsy vehicle.
Similarly was the old wagon for track use. The same can
be said of the harness and all else — the training, the man-
agement in the stables and upon the track, and the rules of
racing. The trotter could scarcely be said to be bred— he
was discovered. The skilled trainer was not known or
esDected. The riders and drivers were merely clever in the
art, and depended upon their tact for every occasion, with
little care for active, systematic course towards thorough
accomplishment. Driving has now advanced to the condi-
tion of a profession — as jockeying is in England. Wells,
Archer, Barrett and Watts, famous among English riders,
have elevated jockeying to the degree of high art — them-
selves as honorable and as intelligent in it as the professors
of the learned professional rate in public estimation. In this
country, Murphy and Garrison, McLaughlin and Pitzpatrick
and otners have won their promotion to fully equal rank as
riders. The drivers of trotters enjoy still more favored
position on the American turf.

Fifty years ago the breeding of trotters was followed by
only a very few in the Northern States; in Vermont and New
York r&ostly, and the Morgan and Blackhawk stock was
most favored. In the South and West turf sports were con-
fined to running horses, and care was devoted only to the
breeding of racers from English imported lines. Trotters
were not bred. They were discovered as roadsters to trot
well, to possess speed, and from this they were matched and
entered for track performance. There was no approved or
accepted method of training and working the trotter for
regular place upon the turf. There were few race tracks
and racing was held in low estimation — trotting matches
lower than running races, and about on the low level of
quarter racing. The Union Course, Long Island, and the
Beacon Course, Hoboken, New Jersey were the most noted
for occasional trotting. It was on Long Island the great four
mile race was won by Eclipse against Sir Henry in 1S23; and
on the same course tbe Jersey mare, Fashion, with young
Jo Laird up, in 1S42, won the race against the great Virginia
Btallion Boston, the veteran Gilpatrick the rider, reducing
the record from the 7:37£ of Eclipse to 7:32£. Two years
subsequently, on the same track, Fashion was defeated by
the great Southern mare Peytona, bnt her record waB not
lowered until 1855, by Lexington, at New Orleans. The
Beacon track at Hcboken was mainly for trotterB and pacers,

Although Senator Hearst has been indirectly connected
with the turf for years having owned Jim Brown, King Fox
and other well known performers, they were always run in
J. B. Haggin's name, until about two years ago when Mr.
Hearst started out on his own account. One of his first pur-
chases was Surinam who won several good races in the
Hearst colors at the Blood Horse Meeting last spring, wind-
ing up his three-year-old career by winning a handicap
sweepstakes at Monmouth Park in August. Gorgo was
leased from Senator Stanford and though she was unlucky,
picked up two good races, one at Monmouth and one at
Sheepshead Bay during the season. This year Senator
Hearst'B two-year-olds will have to do most of the bread-
winning, as Gorgo is lame, having wrenched her shoulder in
the preliminary canter last Thursday week, and according to
later accounts will probably not Tace again. The two-year-
olds are said to be wonderfully smart and considering the
priceB paid for them, especially those bought at the Haggin
sale, they ought to turn out a clinker or two among them.
King Thomas the high priced brother to King Fox, is said to
be as good as his celebrated brother was, if so the St. Blaise's
will have to look out.

The Senator's breeding Farm is in San Luis Obispo County.
For several yearB Mr. Hearst has had a large ranch of 50,000
acres at San Simeon called Piedra Blanco, formerly the
property of the Pachecos. Cattle raising and dairying were
the principal uses to which the land *as put, but gradually
a few thoroughbred mares were sent dowD, and then Jim
Brown (Foster— Flush) took up his residence as lord of the
harem anl more mares were procured at the Winters and
Hntchinson sale. At the former Nellie Collier, Laura WiDS-
ton (dam of Snowdrop), Chestnut Belle, Sister to Lottery,
Abbie W. (or Abbey as she is called in the stud book): at the
latter Vixen, by Saxon, dam Coquette by LexingtoD,
Mercedes, by Lodi, aDd Mistletoe by Thad Stevens, were
obtained.' Imp. Fun (Fiddler— Amalia) was bought from
Senator Stanford, and half a dozen Australian fillies were
imported. With this good foundation Senator Hearst has a
splendid prospect of success as a breeder.

A year agohv*t spring the bnodmares and Jim Brown were
removed to another ranch of Mr. Hearst'B, about fourteen
miles further down the coast, where a fine lot of stables,
loose boxes, etc., had been erected, and about 1,500 acres of
land fenced in and prepared for their reception. At the same
time imported Cheviot, the prop9rty of Dr. Ross, was leased
for a term of years to join Brown, and this magnificent
brother to Sir Modred will undoubtedly Btamp his progeny
with true racing instinot. Already several of his get have
won in Australia, and his fame has increased so much that
Palo Alto sent six mares to him.

The ranch itself is nicely situated in a wide canyon about
a mile from the road, wHh plenty of running water and good
feed the only drawback being the fog which sweeps in every
afternoon At San Simeon there is a very good three-quarter
mile track, with stabling for twenty horses. All good roomy
box Btalls removed from the Hacienda, and there the colts
will be educated for their future work.

bat it was indifferently supported, and before 1850 it was
abandoned and finally closed.

Hiram Woodruff was the acknowledged authority on trot-
ters and trotting. His opinions were debatable, but his
judgments were final. He had no rival, and comparatively
few to encounter as drivers of trotterB on the track. Lady
Suffolk ranked the peerless queen of the trotting turf — a
small gray mare, docile as a kitten, the squarest of trotters,
and never known to break. She was owned by a rough and
uncouth farmer, Dave Bryant, who was unable to state her
pedigree. He was accustomed to drive her on the road to
a common wagon, and would rattle her over the cob-
ble pavementB of New York as market men daily drive in
their trade wagons. He insisted on driving her in every
engagement when she went to a wagon or sulky, and would
not allow any other to drive or handle her. When she was
to go under the saddle he confided her to tbe care of Al.
Conklin, one of the beBt horsemen of the period. Woodruff,
Conklin, George Spicerand Jake Somerindike were the most
noted drivers of tbat time. Confidence, Amencus and Rip-
ton ranked next to Lady Suffolk as trotters. Oneida Chief
was the greatest pacer. In public he never made a record so
low as the 2:26* of Lady Suffolk, under the saddle, and he
rarely defeated her in a match race. It was said that
Oneida Chief had made the mile Id 2:12 in private trial, but
the story was not generally accepted as authentic.

The most prominent blood from which to breed fine and
fast roadsters that might develop into trotters for turf engage-
ments was that of the Vermont Morgan. The Blackhawk
line, or cross with the Morgan, was favored by many. Breed-
ing trotters from thoroughbreds, sire and dam, was not
thought of. There was not a Trotter in the country valued at
above §2,000, and it is doubtful if even Lady Suffolk could
have commanded so much as, or to exceed ©1,500. The aver-
age valuation for trotters of sound condition and at their best
was between $300 and $500. Old Bellfounder sold for $325,
and Screwdriver for $300 — both three minute trotters, then
accounted fast. Ordinary roadsters sold for from $150 to
$250. There were no breeding farms for trotters, for the
track or stud.

From that condition, since 1850, the trotting turf has ad-
vanced from Lady Suffolk to Flora Temple, Princess, Lady
Thome, Goldsmith Maid, Mountain Maid and Maud S.,
from Confidence and Oneida Chief to Dexter, Rarus, Occi-
dent, St. Julian, George Wilkes and Jay-Eye-See, to James
K. Polk, Pocahontasand Johnson. Records have been low-
ered from Lady Suffolk's 2:261 down— from Flora Temple's
2:19, Dester's 2:18. Occident's 2:10, Goldsmith Maid 2:14,
R4rus2:13i, St. Julien'a 2:11^, Jay-Eye-See's 2:10, to the
still unrivalled 2:0Sj| of Maud S. The advancement has been
famous in breeding and training and handling. The glisten
of Woodruff and the noted drivers of his period — Oonkling,
Spicer, John Murphy, Jo. Daniels, Pat Hunt and John
Crooks, is paled by the real lustre of Doble, Marvin, Splan.
John Goldsmith, and others of tbiB period, the most accom-
plished in the art of training and driving trotting horses. In-
stead of the small breeding farm9 of the Morgansand Black-
hawks in Vermont, there are great farms of high reputation
in New York, in Ohio, in Kentucky, and throughout the
West, devoted to trotters; and here in California aro the
famous breeding farms of Palo Alto, San Mateo, Rosemead,
Rancho del Paso, Santa Anita, with others, on which are
produced horses of great worth and high value — the most
promising trotters known in tbe world, which command
priceB from $2,000 to $50,000, and are held at even much
greater snmi.

To the superior intelligence brought iDto the breeding of
horses by men of wealth and character iu tbe preparation
and management of breeding farms in the East and on this

coast must be attributed the very great improvement in the
American trotter and the latter development of the horse in
every degree. These breeding farms have enabled the people
to gratify their fondnets for superior horses, for pleasure
and for the turf; and in this the price ib of ieaBt considera-
tion— thereby assuring profit to the noble industry. The
improvement in training and care of the horse is the legiti-
mate consequence of this superior development of the
horse. Training has risen to the quality of a profession, in
which the best of qualifications are required. A thorough
knowledge of the horse, an aptitude to estimate and judge
the nature and powers of the horse, and equally the keen
perspicacity, and deep, full comprehension of men upon the
turf, of the intricacies of racing and racers. Natural inclina-
tion, studious application, tine discernment, integrity and
the qualities of good manhood, are essential. These consti-
tute the degree of honored professorship in learning, in the
arts, in the sciences. Pope well wrote "the proper study of
mankind is man."

What better, what more humane, what more useful to man
is the study of the domestic animals closest, fondest, mosj
useful and most profitable to man? The horse iH foremost
and most valuable of all domestic animals — the most tract-
able, useful, spirited and intelligent. His training for excel-
lence should be committed to a humane, sensible, patient,
good man of intelligence, tact and firmness to bring out and
render valuable his best qualities. The old discipline of the
spur and the whip, by rough, ignorant, brutish natures, with
less intelligence than the horse and more of the brute in their
composition, is of the past on breeding farms, in the stables,
and on tbe turf. To preserve the spirit, cultivate the mettle,
and develop the powers of the horse, as a colt he must be
studied and understood. Tnis is the curriculum of the
modern trainer. The teacher trains and educates boys to
become worthy and good, and fit them for the matriculation
of the finishing studies of manhood.

The trainer's process with the colt is similar — onward to
the perfection of the turf and for every use. One is called
professor— the other is as deserving of the title upon his
proven merits. Likewise is the veterinary surgeon duly
qualified, entitled to rank with the member of the faculty
whose practice is with mankind. The quack or empiric in
either is to be abhorred. The true gospel of the horse and
his usefulness to man is now better taught and better prac-
tised than ever before, and the excellence of the horse and
his greater profit to man are the enlightening and gratifying
consequences. J. O'M.

A Fast Quarter.

It is now the time to .hear reports of fast quarters, halves
and miles, but thus far these annual reports have not been
numerous. And this, as "Knap" McCarthy would say,
"reminds us." Not many months ago a few lovers of good
movers visited a track one morning. Amon£ the horses
worked was one of the quartette of three-year-old pacers that
created such a furore last year. After being warmed up, her
driver, formerly an eastern knight of the ribbons, asked them
to catch the last quarter, as he intended to cut the filly loose
and see if she had any of last year's speed left in her. Jog-
ging slowly to the half he opened her out, and as the filly's
nose Hashed the three-quarters, four watches clicked, and
the little lady flew for the wire. She came along easy and it
Beemed no exertion for her to go faster. As she reached the
wire four watches clicked again, and one looked at his timer
and then quietly slipped it into Iub pocket. As the filly came
back to the wire, her driver called out: "How fast did she
come?"

"You paced the last quarter in 0:2S£," replied the driver
addressed.

Then out came the timer that was slipped into the vest
pocket at the conclusion of the trial, and the four watchss
showed 2S£ seconds flat. This was the fastest quarter ever
paced, and it beats Mike Wilkes' famous quarter in 0:29 J.

Spokane's Sire.

The following interesting account of Hyder Ali has ap-
peared in several Eastern papers:

The recent performance of the crack three-year-old Spo-
kane in vanquishing Proctor Knott and wiuning the Ken-
tucky Derby and the rich Clark stakes within a week recalls
an amusing error of judgment that F. A. Blades made when
he was appraiser of customs at Detroit. The sire of Spokane,
Hyder Ali, after a successful career on the Kentucky turf,
broke down and was bought by a Toronto (Ont.) breeder. A
few years later Gen. Rowett, of Illinois, purchased the old
campaigner for his stud. When put in a car at Toronto con- .
signed for the United States, he hadn't the remotest idea
that anybody would say that a son of Lexington and grand-
son of Leamington, two of the greatest sires in the history of
the Kentucky turf, as Hyder Ali was, did not come within
the provision of the law which says that all stock intended
to be used for breeding purposes shall be admitted free of
duty. He had a long, gaunt neck and an ungainly appear-
ance generally.

Elder Blades, whoso duty it was to appraise horses coming
from Canada, looked over Hyder Ali as soon as the horse
was brought over from Windsor. He looked the old racer
over carefully, and then said to Gen. Rowolt: "I can't pass
that old plug, General. There doeBn't appear to be anything
about him that makeB him valuable for breeding purposes or
anything else. Upon what do you base your claim that he
should be admitted free? There certainly are no fine points
about him, and then, too, he is deformed. Notice the ewe
neck of him."

The bluff old General, who was in the habit of using very
forcible language, was unable to find words for a few momenta
to expresB himself, and when he did, he cbidod the appraiser
mildly for his la«k of knowledge about race horses. He then
recited the famous racing strains that coursed in Hyder Ali'e
veinB. The appraiser would not be convinced lhat the horse
was noc what he had called him, an old plug, until Gen.
Rowett hunted up a volume of the stud book and showed
him the old racer's pedigree. The appraiser admitted that
there might be something in tbe horse, after all. and so he
did not collect any duty. After General Rowett's death Hj-
der Ali was purchased by Armstrong, of Montana, and bred
to tbe dam of Spokaue.

Of course it makes a nice fairy tale but a little more accu-
racy would not have spoilt the fable. Hyder Ali is a son of
Leamington and a grandson of Lexington. Interpose (Spok-
ane's dam) was put to Hyder Ali when both were the prop-
ty of Gen. Rowett. "Hyder All's long gaunt neck (after-
wards called a ewe neck) and ungainly appearance." He was
seen at the Rancho Del Paso a month ago, look-in*
pioture. His neck is very good and instead of beiiu
ly be is a beautiful mover and thoroughbred ■-
maguificeiitlv proportioned; could the writer

Grim's Gossip.

Pete Brandow's Sol Wilkes is moving fn good shape. The
other day he easily went a mile without a skip in 2:28$.

N. T. D. Soloman, the owner of Ed. Kosewater 2:20£, pac-
er, and also a well known trotting horse breeder, died at his
home in Omaha, after a long illness.

It may be interesting to Mr. Holly to know that the intelli-
gent reporter for the Associated Press has wired East that
San Diego has been purchased for $25,000.

Old Beaconsfield is said to be rounding to in good shape,
and should before long show some of the form that he so
often exhibited here.

The pool rooms here, after holding all bets on the Red-
light Baggage fiasco, until Monday eventually paid on Bag-
gage in accordance with the judge's first decision.

Alexander Button is said to be moving very rapidly and
there is no doubt of his being capable of lowering his record,
2:26J. I heard the other day that he had already gone one
heat in 2:14.

Commotion, 2:30, by Electioneer, once owned by George
Fuller and Charles Marvin, and sold at the Fasig sale in May
to Henry Hawes, of Johnstown, Penn., for SI, 200, was lost
in the recent Johnstown disaster.

John Murphy wag last week taken down to Hiram Howe's
wall known hostlery on the Coney Island Boulevard. It is
hoped that the cool invigorating ocean breezes will bring
the Bed Prince back to his pristine strength.

Ernest Benzon. the jubilee plunger or jubilee juggins, is
writing hia autobiography. The advance co ties are all sold
at ten shillings and six pence each. The ex-plunger should
at that rate make more money than he did on the turf.

Senator HearBt and JackFollansbee left last Monday night
for New York. They will see their manager at Chicago, and
may possibly stay over for a day or two. The Senator will
take a more personal part in his racing stable in future.

R. "W. Hideout, Secretarv of the Eureka Jockey Club, is
sparing notbiag to make the meeting which takes place next
week at Eureka a success. The track under his supervision
has been carefully levelled and improved In several places.

Horse nomenclature is studied a good deal about this
season and brains are puzzled to find a happy name for
colts. Ooe of the best I have come across lately is Lord
Dudley's Present Alms by the Miser out of Salute, does not
that look a .very pretty witticism.

The San Leandro Reporter says that "Modjeska" one of
the entries in the late San Leandro Sweepstakes was sold this
week to Mr. Sumner DuBois. Next year she will endeavor
to make a record, when it ib expected Bhe will be able to pace
a mile some where about 2:20.

Last Monday. Joe Courtney, one of the many cracks in
the "Winter's string came within three-quarters of a second of
beating the record for 7£ furlongs, and had he been pressed
for the last furlong would undoubtedly have made a new rec-
ord for the distance.

Notwithstanding the statements in the Examiner and
Chronicle, Dawn has not broken down. I saw him last Sat-
urday work a very nice mile, and be is rapidly returning to
his old form. Why is is that these irresponsible reporters
break down horses, and make them win races at will.

Dick Havey gave Shamrock, who is now under his care, a
fair mile with Griffin's bay pacer last Wednesday. The full
distance was trotted in 2:29, the last half in 1:08. The black
son of Buooaneer with a little more work should beat his two-
year-old record of 2:25 easily.

Bay Rose, under Orrin Hickok's able tuition, should before
the year is out, lower his record a notch or two. At present
he is rather low in flesh after his stud duties; by the way,
he is not bay, being a decided brown. His present record of
2.-20J was given him by Johnny Goldsmith.

August Belmont is said to have won $20,000 on Raceland,
Garrison $5,000 and MacMahon, the crack jockey's father-in-
law, $10,000. But on the whole day probably John L.
McGrath, the veteran caterer, must have done as well as
anyone. Twenty thousand dollars is the lowest estimate of
his sales of edibles.

Jimmy McLaughlin will after this season train Pierre
Lorillard's thoroughbreds. The popular Rancocas breeder
has been a heavy buyer at most of the yearling sales this
yeai, and it is hoped that the cherry and black will once
more be seen in the van, as it was when game old Parole,
"Wanda, Dewdrop and Iroquois carried it to many a well
earned victory.

Mr. W. T. "Walters called at the office yesterday and wishes
ma in his name to thank everyone, newspapers included, for
their assistance and kindness during his late difficulty in' the
Al Farrow case. He says that he has severed his connection
with the whole crowd, and has hopes of having his horse re-
instated shortly.

El Rio Rey is running up to his best form and in" the ear-
lier part of the week at Chicago, after being practically left
at the post he was in the lead before half a mile, and won
hands down in 1:08; distance 51 furlongs. The Chicagoans
are dead struck on the colt, and I hear, thinks he is better
than the Emperor ever waB.

Hanover haB the credit of lowering the record for five fur-
longs and a half, which last week was ored'Sted to Torso, with
1:00. Hanover galloped the distance in 1:06 2-5, which goes
to show that Torso's performance on a straightaway course,
even if a record, was nothing very wonderful. In the follow-
ing race Burlington lowered the record at the Bame distance
for two-year-oldB, as his tiu>e was 1:08 3-5.

Sorrento, with a good jockey up, would have made Spo-
kane Btretch his neck. Taral has lost his courage since his
severe injury a year ago. The St. Louis Republic also says
that those astute trainers at Chicago who agreed that SpoVane
was lame, but could not agree whether it was in front or be-
hind, can now have the floor.

Mr. S. N. Straube is going to dispose of a great many of
his surplus stock in order to give his whole time to improv-
ing and developing bis trotting stook. Amongst other stock
to be disposed of are his splendid herds of Shorthorn and
Polled Angus. They ought to be invaluable to all cattle
men for crossing and improving their herd.

In our notes laBt week on the Santa Rosa track, the printer
caused us to credit the ownership of Zeno and others to Mr.
C. C. Beamish, when we should have said C. C. Bemis.

Almont Patchen was worked out four heats "Wednesday,
the last heat in 2:19£, the first half in 1:17}, and was then
slowed up. Mr. Corey his owner was present.

T. G. Jones takes Applause on thiB morning's boat to D. S. Quintin's entry in the Breeders' Association three-
Eureka. McManus has also taken on the steamer the trotter year-old trotting stake, is aBblue blooded a representative of

Perihelion. Both are in the pink of condition.

Jimmy Duscin drove Maggie E. a very fair mile a few days
ago at the Oakland track in 2:20, Evidently she is rounding
to in good shape, and if her back does not trouble her, should
go a few good heats this season.

Lou Myers, the champion foot racer, has added to his
string of thoroughbreds Cara Mia, a two-year-old filly by St.
Blaise, out of Carita. What relation does she bear to St.
Carlo? he is by St. Blaise, out of Carina by Kingfisher, out of
Carita. Guttenberg is waiting and watching for signs of pace.
Mr. Belmont would not have sold if there had been any form
shown.

Mr. John Hunter, whom all old turf men recollect so well
in the good old days when the orange and crimson were
carried to many a victory by Kentucky, Rhadamanthus and
Buokden. At the Belle Meade sale he was one of the most
extensive purchasers, and will probably be to the fore at the
Haggin sale on Monday.

Caliente, Lucky Baldwin's three-year-old son of Rutherford,
upset every calculation when he beat little Minch at Wash-
ington Park. Mr. Baldwin and Californians in general were
the only winners. The California pet, Geraldine, left every-
one broke when the bush mare Irene easily beat her in the
six furlong sprint on Thursday. The Maltese Villa run of
bad luck was continued, when Flood Tide found the weight
too much for him in the last race.

The California Contingent nave done very fairly back East
so far. At Jerome, J. B. Haggin has won $8,465, with Au-
relia $5,770, Firenzi $2,280, Fltz James $220, and Mirabeau
$192. At St. Louis, Theodore "Winters heads the list of
winning owners, with $9,840 to his credit. He won the
Chicago Horseman Stake with Dou Jose, the Stallion S'akes
with El Rio, and the Directors' Stakes with Joe Courtney.

J. A. McKerrson, the well-known harness and horse out-
fitter, is doing a tremendous business at high pressure.
Everyone who requires boots, harness or anything in that
line before the fairs 8 tart should at once notify the firm, and
their orders will be promptly attended to and they will be
supplied with the usual excellent class of goods furnished by
them, and they cannot be surpassed by anyone in their own
line of business.

The coast was inundated with telegrams to back The Glom-
ing (a two-year-old Blly of Senator Hearst's) on Saturday.
Piobably her fast trial did not do her any good. Why is it
that men will run their races a day or two previous. If a
trainer knows he has a good horse it is not necessary to give
him a public or private trial for every race. If it is a cast iron
horse it would probably be more suitable.

Gabe Caldwell has discovered a new mode of punishing
owners of unruly horses. When Umpire was put up for sale
in accordance with the rnleB, Gabe raised the price $5, say-
ing it will cost you $10 Mr. Street for his behavior at the
post. Mr. Street gave the extra $10 which of course was
divided between the fund and the second horse. Mr. Cald-
well would perhaps not have relished his joke if Umpire had
been left on bis hands.

The following members of District Boards of Agriculture
have been appointed by the Governor: District No. 19 —
Tuolumne and Calaveras counties — D. R. Oliver, T. C.
Birney, D. W. Berger, J. A. Goodwin, Otto Lolling, F. J.
Solinsky, Lewis C. Honey and Adam Kelibar. District No.
24 — Santa Cruz countv — James Waters, George W. Sill, A.
P. Rorche, A. N. Judd, H. S. Stipp, J. A. McCune, H. L.
Jessen and P. J. Thompson.

A prominent breeder of high class trotters in Rutherford
county, Tenn., agitated the breeding of pacers. He says:
''It is obvious to every thinking breeder that the breeding of
pacers is a large and growing interest in our State; that we
have more reputation away from home with the pacing horse
than any other; that the pacing strain is well up in some of
our fastest and gamest trotters; too numerous to mention;
and that some of our fastest pacers are trotting bred. The
interests are identical and hard to separate.

The Chicago officials got into a regular muddle last Satur-
day. They placed Baggage first, although Senator Hearst's
colts was palpably a long way in the rear and Redlight won.
The mistake was not rectified and all bets were paid on the
decision there. On Monday they rectified their mistake, as
far as lay in their power, and out of their (the Association)
own pockets paid all the Redlight tickets and credited him
with the value of the purse, the contretemps cost them $12,-
000.

The Grants Pass Driving Park. Jacksonville, Oregon, will
have a good day's racing on theFourthof July. The follow-
ing races will be run for:

Race No. 1— Ponies, 300 yards; purse, $15.

Raoe No. 2 — Trotting, four-minute class, 2 in 3; purse,
$30.

Race No. 3— Running, 600 yards and repeat; purse, $30.

Race No. 4— Trotting, Free-for-all, 3 in 5; purse, $50.

Raoe No. 5— Running A mile and repeat; purse, $30.

Nominations to be made to the committee on or before the
Fourth.

The new Duchess of Portland has persuaded the Duke to
give up all his winnings on the turf to the poor. They have
decided to build and maintain at Welbeck a sufficiency of
almshouses for the local poor people. Tbis is as it should
be, for charity begins at home. After Donovan's success in
the Derby, the Duke gave George Dawson his trainer and
Fred Barrett who rode the colt, $5,000 each, also donating
$2,500 to the Rous Memorial Hospital, and $1,000 to the
Bentinck fund.

The Futurity course, which has been the especial pride of
Secretary Lawrence has, by force of circumstances, been
practically ruined, unfortunately for those who desire three-
quarler mile straightaway races. Owing to some flaw in the
title to the land acquired at the upper end of the course, its
owners have taken possession of the land and will not give
it to the club except at an exorbita* t price. So hereafter
three-quarter mile races run over that course will require a
finish some distance below the judges' Btaud, which will make
the finishes as awkward as they now are at Jerome Park in
short raoes.

Eastern lines as our coast breeders could ask or wish to com-
pete with. Prodigalis by Pancoast 2:21|, out of Beatrice by
Cuyler 100, or in other words he is a full brother to the
mighty Patron 2 :14|-, who tied Hinda Rose's three-year-old
record of 2;19£, and yet holds the tive-year-old record for
stallions al the figures set opposite his name.

Neither Anteeo, 2:16J. Antevolo, 2:19*. nor Dawu, 2:19£,
has a single representative in the colt stakes offered by the
Breeder's Association. This is not as it should be; at least
two three -year-olds by the first named proved themselves
last year worthy to go in any company of their age. The
owners of such c tits do justice to neither themselves nor
their horses in reserving them solely to win district races.

We have received from a friend and well wiBher a full
account of the Jockey Club meeting "in Re" the Chetwynd
and Durham dispute, and while thanking him for his atten-
tion, the article is necessarily ho voluminous that we cannot
print it in full. Sir George and Lord Durham both sent in
their resignations as members of the club, but as the case had
not then been settled, the stewards, according to precedent,
refused to accept the resignations. Further developments in
the case should be on hand before long, thoueh it is almost
hopeless to expect that the scandal will ever be thoroughly
sifted.

John W. Martin, of Yolo, has taken to the race track at
Napa, his stallion Clay Duke 2757, by Alcona 730; dam Met-
amora, by Duke of Orange Jr., also Del Rey, by Clay Duke,
dam Madonna by Cassins M. Clay Jr. 22; and the brown
three-year-old Alexander Button Jr. by Alexander Button,
dam by John NoIbou. A two-year-old owned by the same
gentleman, is by Clay Duke, dam by Hercules. Del Key is
entered in the three-year-old stakes at Napa and Santa Rob*,
and promise s to be a success if present indications do for
anything.

Henry Vaughan, the well known stock importer, informs
me that on his last trip he secured for Mr. Andrew Smith,
the best Berkshire Boar be could proenre. $750 cash was
given for Model Duke 17393, who last fall at St. Louis de-
feated his sire Longfellow, who up till then was deemed in-
vincible. Mr. Smith ought to be proud of his high priced
animal, which is said to be unequalled. Mr. Vaughan goes
East shortly to procure horses and cattle for several well-
known California breeders. Everyone, who wishes, as they
ought to, to improve his herd, should not forget that they
have an exceptional chance to get a really good horse or bull
at a lower rate than they otherwise possibly could.

"It is interesitng," says a writer, "to note the contest of
the sires and families for supremacy. Some sires we see
make a great push forward in a single year, and then fall
back, just as a race horse may make one desperate rush in
the stretch and die away, unable to susiain fhe paoe. Other
sires we see make gradual progress toward the front every
year, coming fast and steadily, as it were, with every indica-
tion of staying to the finish. Again we Bee sires great in
themselves, but seemingly unable to perpetuate their great-
ness to the second and third generations, and under the test
of breeding-on capacity they fall away like sprinters raoing
at cup distances."

In a case before the Court in London, the status of a book-
maker was questioned and an English paper says;

Dulce eat deaipere in loco, and Mr. Justice Hawkins asking
one day last week, "What is a bookmaker?" is a beautiful ex-
ample thereof. The particular Knight of the Pencil to whom
his lordship administered this bland interrogatory replied to
the effect that "a bookmaker is a banker." Possibly. But,
fortunately, a banker is not necessarily a bookmaker.

"Do clients back horses with their bankers?" continued
Mr. Justice Hawkins.

Witness: "Yes; and if the horse wins they get their
money."

Whereupon Ermine-clad Innocence murmured gently,
"Sometimes."

A short while ago J. H. Simmons of thiB city bought Harry
Velox, 2:24£, Velox-Ariosa, from G. Vignalo, Los Angeles,
He is a bay gelding, foaled in 187-, bred by Mr. Strand,
Evansville, Ind., and made his record in 1884 at Council
Bluffs, Iowa. The Rural Spirit of Portland says, "For
several years the bay gelding Harry Velox, record 2:24£, by
Velox, dam Ariosa, has been stabled in this city by one Mr.
Fields, and going under the name of Pat Ryan.

Since the above went into type it is learned that this horse
has been entered in the free-for-all at Spokane Falls, to be
trotted on the 25th inst. This horse has, we are informed,
been trotting races north of here under the name of Pat
Ryan.

Of the 83 raoes run during the Jerome Park meeting Mr.
Belmont was easily the largest winner. He won eight races
in all, a majority of which were stakes. Mr. Withers also
won eight races— not a bad Bhowing, considering the inex-
perience of his trainer, owing to the illness and death of his
regular trainer during the meeting. The next in the num-
ber of wins were Capt. S. S. Brown with 7, A. J. Cassattwith
6, J. A. and A. H. Morris and B. A. Haggin with 5 each, "W.
Lakeland 4, J. E. McDonald, Geo. Forbes, W. B. Jennings
and the Hempstead Stables with 3 each; W. L. Scott, W.
Graiz, F. Gebhard, Madison Stable and Ramapo Stable with
2 each; C. Cornehlsen, La Masney Bros., Davis & Hall, F.
Taylor. M. T. Donovan, 8. W. Street, W. Jennings, J. Hy-
land, J. M. Jeffcott, H. Bondy, C. J. Donovan, the Castle,
and Exoelsion and Auburndale Stables one each.

It is not a little remarkable that we are indebted to Teren-
tius Varro, who wrote about the year 70 B. C , for a descrip-
tion of the horse which, in the opinion of so excellent a judge
as Mr. Youatt, has scarcely been surpassed in modern times:
"We may piognosticate great things in a colt," he says, "if,
when running in the pastures, he is ambitious to get before
his companions, and if, on coming to a river, he strives to be
the first to plunge into it. His head should be small, his
limbs clean and compact, his eyes bright and sparkling, his
nostrils open and large, his ears placed near each other, bis
mane strong and full, his chest broad, his shoulders flat and
sloping backwards, his loins broad and Btrong, his ta.il full
and bushy, his legs straight and even, his knees broad and
well knit, his hoofs hard and tough, and his veins large and
swelling over all his body."

THE KENNEL,

Los Angeles Bench Show.

[By Our Special Reporter.!

Some five or sis weeks ago the Los ADgeles County Poultry
Association began preparations for a poultry show to be given
in June, and several meetings were held, the date settled upon,
hall engaged and every essential detail attended to. Thirty
days ago it occurred to a thoughtful member of the Poultry
Club that the additioD of a dog show might be productive not
only of added interest, but also of material increase in the
box office receipts, and at the instance of said member, Mr.
H. T. Payne, business manager of the Los Angeles Tribune,
a thorough man of affairs and hlso a thorough sportsman and
admirer of dogB, was invited to organize, conduct and judge
a bench show in conjunction with that of the poultrymen.
Mr. Payne plunged in medias res, as might have been expect-
ed, but his efforts bad that peculiar method which makes
everything he does so effective. He at once called the sports-
men of Los Angeles together, and proposed the organization
of a Kennel Club. The idea "caught on," and the Southern
California KenDel Club was the result. The club was organ-
ized with the following officers: H. T. Payne President, J. J.
Hanford Secretary, E. B. Tufts Superintendent; ehow com-
mittee, R. H. Gray, W. H. Wilson, J. E. Preston, J. J.
Hanford, H. T. Payne; and it is not saying too much when
the impression is conveyed that the best possible men were
chosen. The club immediately joined the American Kennel
Club, and thereby put itself upon a plane with other organi-
zations all over America. A proper premium list was sent
out all over the coast, and the result has been a very large,
well conducted and txcellent bench show in Los Angeles.
The show began on Monday last in Hazard's Pavilion, a
large, well situated, well ventilated and in every way suitable
building. It was expected that about fifty dogs would be
entered, but the managers had not probatly estimated the
number of owners of good dogs, and ninety entries were sent
in, among them some very tine animals and many good
ones. Mr. E. B. Tufts, a genial gentleman, acted as superin-
tendent, assisted by Mr. W. H. Wilson, and both received
many compliments about their efficiency. Mr. Wilson acted
as ring steward, and kept things moving. The judging was
done by Mr. H. H. Briggs, and as he is writing this report,
the lack of any opinion about the judging may be condoned.
The Bhow has been a paving one, a good one and a satisfac-
tory one, and each year hereafter will see a show of dogs in
Lob ADgeles. A fairly good mastiff dog, Amado, received
first, second going to Imperial Arno, weak in head and not
better otherwise than the winner of first.

In mastiff bitches a good little one, Lelia M., was shown
and got first.

A lot of Harlequin Great Daoes were catalogued in a special
clasB, first going to Tiger, not large, and coarse. In bitches
of the same class Clio, roomy, but Bmallish and not well
oolored, got a first.

In St. Bernards but one was shown, Shield, lacking charac-
ter but well marked and receiving first.

Baron Rogniat showed a goodish small Great Dane in

Monteballo, and received a first, the same award going to a

brindle Dane puppy of no marked excellence, named Strogoff.

The greyhound exhibit was weedy as a rule.

A good native foxhound was shown in Jack, belonging to

Mr. C. S. Campbell-Johnston.

In light pointer dogB a grand good young one was given first,
Kan Koo.

Patti Croxteth T., well Bhown, had a walk-over in light
weight pointer bitches, but could have won in a hot class.
Second in the same class went to a bitch, Nell, very tine
except in head and stern.

The English setter class was a strong one, unexpectedly
strong. The winners of the three prize oards were sortj,
of the closely built, well ribbed kind, with plenty of sub-
stance and strong setter character. First went to Tom Paine,
a very clean built dog. Second to Royal Sport, very like
Bergundthal's Bake. Third to Trifler, rather sour-faced
and not so good behind as the others. In English Better
bitches Princess Claude had an easy win, a typical, roomy
bitch. Peerless won in dog puppieB, very fine drawn, lack-
ing substance.

Mike T. won easily in Irish setters, elegantly shown,
second going to Duke Alexis, not typical. In bitches Lady
Elcho T., queenly as ever, was alone.

The Gordons were very fine, muon better than have ever
before been shown in California.

Mr. and Mrs. Rennie won in cockers, with Giffee and
Woodstock Belle, both very fine. In bitches Woodstock
Belle met a worthy competitor in Lady, shown too fat.

The fox terriers were good, but too leggy, the best being
Miss Susie, G. Patton's Don Carlos and J . B. Martin's Gol-
den Patch.

Miss Julia M. Taylor won first with a very nice pug dug,
Pat, and in bitches Mrs. W. H. Locus received a like award.
A peculiarity of the Los Angeles show was the number of
good dogs shown by ladies and the delightful tolerance with
which they received the awards. Another peculiarity was
the number of ladies in attendance at the show, and in a
visitor from the frozen North a little enthusiasm about wil-
lowy forms, magnificent sun-kissed cheeks, gossamer fabrics
and all the graces of Venus Aphrodite may easily be par-
doned. Two San Franciscans attended the show and sus-
tained the reputation of their town for general eccentricity
and liveliness. They were Messrs. A. B. Truman and H. P.
Rennie.

Roderigo.

The Memphis and Avent Kennel of Memphis, and Hickory
Valley, Tennessee, sends this week the tiuest portrait of a
dog that we have ever seen. It seems to be a solar print, re-
touched in oil, and is a tribute to the genins of the artist,
Mr. J. M. Tracy of Norwich, Conn. The picture is of Rod-
erigo, at the head of the stud of Eoglish setters which has
made the kennel famous and placed it at the head of that
fancy. Roderigo in breeding is unexceptionable as will be
seen by study of his pedigree subjoined.

<™>' IK:81"-

Rod was bred by Met»rp. W. B. Gates aud Arthur Meiri-
ojan of Memphis, waB whelped on April 12tb, 18S3, is black,
white and tan, and the hest English setter alive. He won
the all-aged stake at the National Field Trials in 1885, aud on
the bench won third, St. Louis, 18S5, and V. H. C , Cincin-
nati, 1885. Roderigo stands aloue in several respects. He is
not of the type to please those who go in for delicacy of form
and extreme finish. The dog is a sturdy, rugged, muscular
animal of immense vitality, the utmost Btamioa, and marked
prepotency. He has a rather plain, brainy head, fine eyes,
full nostrils, rather short neck, wonderful shonlriers, per-
fectly sprung ribbing, strong stifles, well-bent, perfect legs
and feet, and is covered by a coat that is of good texture, but
rather too wavy. He looks the workman, and is the fastest,
loDgest staying, gam/st, most brilliant performer among the
English 'setters that has ever lived, unless his grand sire,
Count "NVind'em, was his equal. The dog is not a obance-
bred creature, but is the result of exhaustive study of blood
lines, performers and performances by his breeders, than
whom no brighter, more capable or more esteemed setter men
live. Rod was broken and run by Mr. J. M- Avent, also an
owoer in the Memphis and Avent Kennel, and the best trainer
and handler in the world. Avent, a curious combination
of stern virility and womanly tenderness, develops his dogs
in accord with the most rational system, which is to make a
study of each dog, encourage the timid, direct the willing,
curb the headstrong, and in all cases (oster natural predispo-
sitions.

The Elack Pointer Old Joe.

To the Editor of the Shootinu Times —

Dear Sir: I am on my way to my shootiug, to start sal-
mon fishing, and am not very well, having met with a bad
accident last year whereby my leg and hands were badly
iujared, so cannot write mucb. Myson writes me that there
is a report in the Shooting Times from an American paper
that I had lost Mr. "Watson some prize (or something of that
sort) because I had not sent him the pedigree of the black
pap I sent him. Now, sir, before I sent the pap, I told him
that I coold give him the history of my pointer?, but that I
had no records of pedigrees. Therefore, I could not send
that. I, however, sent him the correct age of the dog and
filled up the printed form he sent me. The dog will be about
two years aod two or three mouths old now. I shot over the
same litter last August, and they would be about 16 to IS
months old then. I only stnt the dog oat because the party
■was so urgent. He gave me the large price of £S for pup
about sis or seven months old, and it cost me in keep, car-
riage, and searching for ship to take it oat fully that sum.

No more pups from me to oblige such people as these
again.

I have only sent four of those pups to America, and two
have won first at field trials.

I shall not allow another pup to go to America again.

W. R. Pape.

[The excerpt is taken from the London. Shooting Times,
and is as inaccurate and unsatisfactory as need be. It estab-
lishes bat one fact clearly, viz., that Mr. Pape knows as little
of the amenities as he does of dog breeding. The "history
of my pointers" is of slight moment to any but the shrewd
trafucer who cannot answer a Bimple query without exacting
recompense from his editor in the way of a free advertise-
ment, vide: "I have only sent, etc." American fanciers, of
the sort who go in for shooting and who sustain field trials,
have no use for black pointers, and particularly when bred
by Mr. Pape, of whom one who lives in Newcastle, Tyne,
says, "He is quite unknown in Newcastle, and is not recog-
nized as a breeder of pointers or anything else." Some con
sideration may be due the fevered sufferer by reason of his
infirmities, and he is dismissed with no other feeling than
one of contemptuous disregard. — Ken. Ed.]

The only dog ever shown to Qaeen Victoria by royal com-
mand was the greyhound Master McGrath. That august
lady also requested the presence of the thoroughbred
Ormonde, and the horse shares with the hound the honor.

The Philosophy of Fishing.

It is the art or the trick uf every pursuit to ground it in
the remote and very aocient ages of the world. Very good.
What is the matter with fishing? The art, aud not the manner
of advancing and improving centuries are not to the test.
The rose by any other name would smell as sweet. The fish
caught by* any method is still as good to eat. The ancient
Arians of Hindoo cast moulded their motto that "the tree
doth not withdraw its shade from the woodcutter." Nor doth
the placid pool withhold its reflection in imagery from the
contemplative angler. The shades of the forest are to him
and the sportive trout, as the sun beams mellow the scene
and cheer the tisher as they delight the beauteous game.

The Buddhists agreed with the Brahmins in that doctrine
of Quietism which denotes to the experienced angler in the
chosen secluded nook of shade overhead and the deep pool
below that the trout are still there. The disciples of the
Vedas and the devotees of the Puranas could alike worship
as they caught the food from Nature's softly running waters
which was not flesh of grass nor meat of airy tlyeiB, but yet
was mighty good, as old Samuel Pepys would have bespoken
the sentiment of palate gratification. It was under the grate-
ful shade of umbrageous Indian growth that Gotama was
born — the Penitent of Chakia, the similitude of ihe Chrisiian
Redeemer, except wherein he was adored as "he who kills
the senses"— the preparatory or. leal to that nirvaDa which is
absolute annihilation, and therefore supernatural bliss eter-
nal, for it is complete nothingism, without sense of anything.
The ego of Christians, the imperishable love of the individual
self, was to Gotama a nonentity— aB a grain of salt cast into
boundless ocean.

The Egyptians worshipped the heavens and the waters
Sirius, the Dog-star, brightest of heavenly t-plendors, was aB
a deity to them, and the inundation of the Nile brought
them cropB and fish. Their celestial trinity. Osiris, Pthah
and Anum, were as the son, the moon and the stars, and
these wroaght the maBtery of the floods whence their earthly
subsistence flowed. Floods aud fishes are us rains and croDS.

The earlieBt Grecian philosophers had their strange theo-
ries; but they neglected not the praise and appetite of tish.
Anaximioes embraced the sea iu his philosophy that the
earth itself floated upon it as a broad leaf — and there are
always fish in the sea, aud fishers whore waters flow. The
suspicion reasonably lurks that Anaximi es had his own
keen appreciation of the trait of fishery as his theory devel-
oped iu maintaining that air was the first principle. Goorge
Alfred Townseud, by his sobriquet "Gath'* — the lisping pro-
nunciation of gas— is example to the air thtory of the old
Grecian, and Eli Perkins stands as demonstration. GaB— air
cooked, as na ■ ought to be, except one prefers, the Hawaiian
style of diet, aod eats fish raw with pci. Diogenes of Appol-
lonia had a more acute and refined theory of air as the first
principle of nature thau Auaximines. Be held that that
which men call air prevades all, regulates all, governs all.
Manifestly he spent much of his time iu listening to the tales
of fishermen, and the scales were regulated to the occasion.
He could weigh and go away as he eDJoyed his treat, and
retreated to con the marvels of fire and his entertaineis.

Bat Diogenes, broader in conception than Anaximines,
cm -apftd water in his theory of air as controlling elementg.

r, j — '

This is proof of thought of fish. Thales and Heraclitus of
Ephesus were in accord with Diogenes in this. Heraclitus
was the most practicable, however, for he insisted that fire
was an essential in the order of the commanding elements.
There was no Polynesian habitude in Heraclitus. He did
not want his fish raw — they must be cooked, and fire is the
everlasting champion cooker.

Democritus, the laughing philosopher, disdained earthly
fire, and aB a prime joke burned out his eyes with a glass,
bat then he was always a fanny fellow, and one of great wit,
with madness near allied. Whether he tried his burning
glass on his mess of fish or took His glass as he feasted upon
the tish us the moderns do, his biographers omit to mention.
The World, the San, and the San Francisco dailies throw no
light upon the subjeot. Carious annotators think that Her-
aclitus is somewhat at fault. He was called in his generation
"the obscure, " and his axiom that "all is ordered by reason
and intelligence, though all is subject to fate," it is by these
critics contended contains an error of his careleBS type-writer
— that for "fate" the sentiment should read "fish"—else, why
did he hold that a *'mcist soul" was mellow, and a "dry
soul" was proof of patriotism, conscious as he mast have been
that the congenial fisher is ever dry, a thirsty soul that loves
a drink divine.

Anaxagoras was evidently of the fisher class. He gave
himself dead away in his maxim that, "together all were
infinite iu number and Bmallness; nothing was dit-tinguish-
able before they were Borted; while all waB together there
was no quality noticeable." Had he jupt returned from a
day:s fishing out of luck, with "many a mickle to make a
muckle" in his basket, and the catch of all sorts, he could
not have more clearly expressed his feelings. His bites were
nibbles, and he had the chagrin of one mindful of suckers
aod regretful of a day wasted. He had, too, misled the com-
panionship of famous Jim Baker, gifted with that luxuriance
of the narrator which neither hesitates nor quibbles at the
anusual vision of a truth.

We may set him down as a raw and inexperienced angler.
Pythagoras was betterin the view. He sagaciously expressed
the ruling sentiment "Not unto all Bhould all be made
known." lhat's business! the genial and indulgent angler
will exclaim.

It has its equivalent in the Irish saying, "ask me no ques-
tions and 1!11 tell you no lies." It is courteous, non-asser-
tive, diplomatic and, as the ritual of E Clampsus Vitus has
it, eminently "satisfactory." We shall placo the name of
Pythaaoras on tne roll of honorary members of oar Pisca-
torial Club. Zenophanes shall also have place for his "all
revelation is pure fiction." Lord, how fine he struck it! He
surely had been listening to the stories of the fishers, and
was in the mood of the late Gilbert A. Grant, after he had
sat out the swap of fac's by the late Jo. Grant, Old Clarkson,
and Truthful Jeems, as he rubbed his bewildered head and
soliloguized "There's nothiDg true bat Heaven."

Parmenides, Zeno and Protagoras were likewise in the
list, with fishing smacks to their conduct and conversation.
The Eleatic doctrine that time and motion and space were
mere phantoms, vain deceptions, is convincing testimony to
the accomplished and enthusiastic angler. What had any
of these qualities to do with veracious Tom Merry, snfferer
from hesitation of speech and gifted with the chosen weapon
of S tmsou, when he sat on the damp bank of a hot sulphur
spring till midnight, in the clear starlight, casting his line
for trout all the while under the impression that the glisten-
ing water was a stocktd pond, aud never discovered his
amusing blunder until the hotel boy told him it was a hot
bathing pool, when he gathered his rod and reeled to bis
quarters. Time, motion and space were to Tom deceptive
and as phantoms of the night. He reflected upon the queer
adventure as his generous host provided solace and cheer,
commingling fluids in a sort of milky way to Tom's supreme
abandon, aud he took it all in.

Empedocles was another of the typical fishers of those long
ago ages. He distrusted the senses — he had heard too much
He believed in air, water, earth and fire, and at last left the
earth for tire, in his leap into iEtna. He wished to die, cow-
boy style, with his boots on. In his period sandals were the
foot agony, and he had a pair of brass. It was an imperti-
nence that iEtna would not allow; brass foot wear was spouted
up and out — there was no uncle with bowels of compassion in
those depths to tolerate the intrusion of his brazen brogans.
There has been no fishing in 2E na since.

It is hardly neceesary to adduce further proofs that the
auciets of profane history and myth had iu them a good deal
of the fishing fancy and habit. A careful reading of that
which has come down to us will supply the searcher after
the truth as to the testimony. The angler's recreation bas
classic example, ancient and fishlike smell, and is fragrant
with the wrappings of Father Time, who reaps in all as they
ripen. Therefore it is advised — all that are lovers of virtue,
be quiet and go a-angling. Scripture warrant is to the fish-
ing; all ages example the manner of the narration of trophies
and of incidents.

Indianapolis Fly-Casters.

The second annual fly-casting tournament of the Fly-
Fishermen's Club of Indianapolis, Ind., was held at Broad
Canal on the canal May 31st. Secretary J. D. Blair writes:

"The weather was very disagreeable to say the least, still
there were seventeen entries. The card giveB the order in
which they oast. The wind was strong all day, making it
very difficult to get the line out on the back cast. Better re-
cords might have been made all around. The inclosed taken
from the Indianapolis Jourual will give farther particulars:"

A stiff northwester that carried with it a cold rain was
blowing yesterday morning. bnt not strong enough to pre-
vent the "members of the Fly-Fishermen's Club from holding
their second annual tournament. Before 9 o'clock the
scientific anglers, weariDg rubber boots, and coats of like
material, and with heads protected by proof hats, began
gathering along the banks of the canal at the St. Claire street
crossing, where the little Bteamer General Morris was wait-
ing to convey them to Broad Cot. Many were late in re-
porting, and it was after 9 o'clock when the start was begun
with about 1U0 members of the club aud their friends on
board. The stars and strips floated from the little steamer,
which, with tbe jolly crowd aboard, attracted much attention
as she steamed up the narrow waterway. The bad weather
was a great disappointment to those who had anticipated a
day of Buch enjoyment that only a fly-caster can appreciate.
It was expected that not less than 500 people would be
present, as many fishermen from various parts of the State
had signified their attention of witnessing tbe sport. Nearly
all the participants in the day's Bport had madearranpemeuts
to bring their families with them, but the miserable weather
defeated all their plans. Even the brave tisherrneD, who are
prone to expect bad weather when they have planned to go
out with rod and Hue, were almost tempted to turn back
when they reached the Cut, and postpone the contest until
they were assured winter was over. The success of their

firpt tonmament had been marred by unfavorable weather,
and it was fondly hoped that the elements might be more
favorable this year. It was finally decided to go on with
the contest, notwithstanding the wind waB blowing crosswise
of the canal, making it impossible to attain the best results.

At 10 o'cloek the judges, who were Judge Byron K.Elliott,
Dr. L. D. Waterman and Capt. De Witt Wallace, shielded
from the rain by immense rubber coats and umbrellas, took
their place along the bank, ready to pass upon the meril6 of
each contestant's skill. There were 18 entries for prizes, as
follows: A. C. JameBOn, G A. Millard, A. B. Prathef, Q.
Brown, B. B. Dildine, M. D. Butler, Gen. Geo. F. McGinnis,
Ed. H. Neumeyer, C. L. Hanford, George McDougall, Geo.
Powell, B. G. Fi3her, F. T. Holliday. Dr. P. G. C. Hunt, B.
C. Wright, J. H. Blair bnd James Isgrigg. All but Mr.
Powell were memhers of the club and residents of Indiana-
polis. Mr. Powell is from Shelbyville. The rales allowed
each one ten minutes in which to cast for distance, and he
then stood aside until called in his turn to cast for accuracy
and delicacy. No single-handed fly-rod exceeded 12 feet.
When every thiog was ready Ray Williams, the time-Seeper,
called the first contestant to come forward, and Alexander C.
Jameson, the oldest fly-fisherman in Msri.n County, stepped
out on the barge. There was a drizzle of rain, and a wind
blew directly across the direction in whish the lines were
cast.

Mr. Jameson used a slender rod UHt long and weighing
8k)z. The wind was so strong that it" was several minutes
before he could make any headway with his line, but after
several attemps he laid the fly out 59ft. Considering the
wind, he showed great skill. G. A. Millard came next witn
a rod 94ft. long and weighing 7|oz. After fouling his line
several times he made a distance of 54ft. A. B. Prather,
with a lOift. rod, weighing 7£oz.. showed considerable skill
and reached a distance of 51ft, Ignatius Brown handled a
rod lOAft. lin. in length and weighing Soz , aud made 56ft.

B. B. Dildine used G. A. Millard's rod and cast for the first
time. He displayed the skill of an old-timer, and made 57ft.
M. D. Boiler, who tied with H. S. New for first place in last
year's contest, next came out on the barge. He handled a
rod lHft. long, weighing 9oz. He displayed remarkable
skill and outdid all those who had preceded him by putting
the fly out 62ft. fiin. He dropped the fly 60ft. out "on the
first throw he made. General George F. McGinnis, another
veteran fisharman, used a rod lUft. long weighing 9oz. Tbe
wind was blowing harder than ever wheu he bepan casting,
and when eight minutes of his time was up it was raining so
hard that time was called.

After dinner General McGinnis used up two minutes due
him, and succeeded in getting the fly out"58ft. Ed. H. Neu-
meyer followed General McGinnis, with a r d lOJft. long and
weighing 7oz. He reached a distance of 42ft. " Then came

C. D. Hanford, who showed great skill. He haa a rod 1 1 ft.
long and weighing 9Aoz He outdid all the preceding con-
testants, except Mr. Batler, and made u record of 60ft.
George P. McDougall followed with a rod lift, long, weigh-
ing 9Aoz. He displayed skill, and succeeded in getting the
fly out 53ft. George Powell, of Shelbyville, came next. The
members of the club were anxious to see what an outsider
could do, and they were greatly surprised when Mr. Puwell
came close up to Mr. Butler by dropping the fly out 61ft. He
was applauded. B. G. Fisher, with a rod measuring lift,
and weighing 9]oz. reached 46Jft., and F. T. Holliday, with
a rod 12Mt. in length and 8£oz, in weight, made a record of
56ft. When Dr. P. G. C. Hunt came oat to cast the raio had
ceased, and the wind was lighter. He used a 9oz. rod lift,
long. He handled the line gracefully, and made one of the
best records, 57ft. B. C. Wright made 56ft. with a rod 3 1 Jf t.
long and weighing 9ioz., and J. H. Blair, with an Hi ft. rod.
9oz. in weight, made a distance of 50ft. The last man to cast
was James Isgrigg, who used a rod lOfft. long weighing 7oz.
His distance was 55ft.

The contestants were then recalled in turn, and coatesled
for delicacy and accuracy iu the following manner: Each
contestant was allowed twenty casts at an object in or on the
water, 40ft. distant from him. He who reached a point
nearest the object was adjudged superiority in delicacy. He
was judged to be the superior in accuracy who on an average
of all his casts, placed his stretcher-fly nearest the mart.
This contest was fully as interesting as the easting for dis-
trnce. C. L. Hanford made the best average, while that of
M. D. Butler was not so good, which greatly reduced his
general average. The score of Lhe contest tells the whole
story, aB follows: —

the records made were excellent. The clab bas deoided to
hold a tournament in September or October. But cne prize
will be offered, and that will be a medal offered by Bingbani

medal has been won twice in succession by a contestant it
shall become absolutely his property. The medal will be
given to the person attaining tbe highest points for all-around
excellence. The club also voted to admit to membership fly-
oshermen of the State not residents of Marion County, upou
the payment of one-half the regular initiation fee and annual

dues.

The Complete Angler.

So long ago as A. D. 1724, the qualifications of the angler
who would be considered a type of the guild were thus enu-
merated:

"First, let us consider what are the qualifications deemed
necessary in an angler, by which term our guide and philo-
sopher means one who fishes for sport and his own amuse-
ment, not one who seeks to make a pro^t by his fishing.
Imprimis, he must be a man of leisure, whose time is at hiB
own disposal, and he Bhould be possessed ot private means.
For he considers it most unbecoming in a man of business to
neglect that business and spend his days on the banks of tbe
river trying to catch a gudgeon, when he ought rather to he
employed behind tbe counter, like John Gilpin, or else in
the counting-house endeavoring to provide his family with
the necessaries of life. Sport, when pursued under these
circumstances, is unworthy the name — nay, it becomes actu-
ally a vice, and iB certainly a breach of good morals. More-
over it is not everyone possessed of a competency who is
fitted by "Nature to become au angler. Tbe man who would
excel his fellows must have his paesions well under command,
and his temper governed with an absolnte sway, so that the
mind may be enabled to bear up against the trials and disap-
pointments which are too surely part and parcel of the
•joyous' fisher's lot. No 'melancholy' man need ever attempt
to become an angler. He is not to be trusted with 'an angle
rod' on any pretext whatsoever. For how would suoh an
one comport himself if. having played a fine fish, and brought
it with great dexterity to the landing-net. he fonnd it sud-
denly shake itself clear of the honks, and regain its liberty
when, as it were, in his very hands? 'If this angler,' cries
tbe excited Saunders, 'does not stamp and stare, swear an
hundred oaths, or pull the hair off his head— nay, if he does
not throw himself into the very river after it,' it will indeed
be most surprising, and he must be adjudged to have 'the
command of himself to a wonder. What were Job's trials
when he lost his children by the fall of a house, compared
to the loss of a libs, trout? Now, your true angler, one to
the manner born, he wastes no time in idle imprecations or
bewailing hiB hard luck, but just puts on a fresh bait with in-
effable sweetness and serenity, and throws it in again— though
if he be wise he is careful to select a different Bpot. As
Cotton juBtly observes:— 'O, Bir, this is a war where yon
sometimes win, and must sometimes expect to lose.' The
novice if however, cautioned against being over cautious or
timid 'For he that fears wetting his stockings is no man for
the snort, but should stay at home, and only wait for some of
the fish he would not take the pains to fish for.' "

A Chapter on Black Bass.

Among the gamest and choice food fish, the black bass be-
longs in high rank. Some prefer the black basB to trout;
tastes differ. But to one accustomed to trout and of fine
palate the occasional change to blaok bass is gratifying. In
the briny waters of the North, on the coast of New Jersey
and New York, where the kingfish is regarded much as the
pompano and red-snapper are in the waters of the Gulf
States the black bass ib held in second place, superior to his
Btriped brother, and for the pan better than the sheepsh: ad,
which is unequaled for a chowder. The blue fish comes
next to the sbeepshead for this use, as the two are of larger
Bize and boil better than they fry or broil. The black bass
is a habitat of fresh waters, inland lakes and rivers, as well
bb of coast bays and brackish streams. In full condition it is
as good in the one as in the other. Still it seema to have
more vigor and is gamer in waters not entirely fresh, of
swift current and occasional turbulence. Living or active
bait is required. Black bass will dart and bite at live bait—
either minnow or worm, at the spoon in trolling and at the
flv skillfully cast. The accomplished angler prefers the rod
and the fl'- He angles to catch the fish he prefers, and he
enjoys the ' exciting sport of the difficult catch. The black
bass supplies the artistic play and the epicurean feast. The
fish is attracted by bright colors and goes for the gaudy as
bait, for tbe shiny in trolling. They are as the red rag is to
the Spanish bull. . -a.

In trolling one bas to be an expert as in hauling in the
blue-fish, lest it swims ahead and releases itself from the
hook- in hook and line fishing it will call 10 play the skill of
the angler to make a landing. FinesBe, skill and the patience
of diplomat, are the insuring qualities. With a bass worthy
of the exhilarating sport, the reward at table is ample, some-
times it is an encounler, tournament style, and unless the

affords the zest in the taking which is the augler's joy and

cheers.

The Dragon Fly.

These insects are very familiar to us by means of the
numerous dragon-Hies which haunt our carp ponds, and
which are known to common people by the very inappro-
priate name of horse stingers. They possess no sting and
never meddle with horses. The name of dragon-fly, on the
contrary, is perfectly appropriate, as these insects are indeed
the dragons of the air in the perfect state. Even in their
early stages tbe dragon-flies preserve their predatory habits,
and for that purpose are armed in a most remarkable manner.
During tbe larval and pupal states the dragon-fly is an in-
habitant of the water, and may be found in most of onr
ponds and streams, usually hunting the muddy banks, and
propelling itself along by an apparatus as efficacious as it is
simple, and is exactly analogous to tbe mode by which the
nautilus forces itself through the water. Tbe respiration is
carried on by means of tbe oxygen which is extracted from
the water, and the needful supply of water is allowed to pass
into and out of the body through a large aperture at the end
of the tail. Such are its means of locomotion. Those of
attack are not less remarkable or less offieacious.

The lower lip instead of being a simple cover to the mouth,
is developed into a strange jointed orgaD, which cau be shot
out to the distance of nearly an inch; or, when at rest, can
be folded over the face, much as a carpenter's rule can be
shut up so as to fit into bis pocket, and can be rapidly pro-
truded or withdrawn, very much like the instrument called
a ''lazy-tongs." Like that instrument it is furnished at its
extremity with a pair of forceps, and is able to grasp at pass-
ing objects with swiftness and certainty. The remains for
some ten or twelve months in the preliminary stages of
existence, and when the insect is about to make its final
change, the undeveloped wings become visible on the back.
When its time has come, thj pup* leaves the water and
crawls up tbe stem of some aquatic plant until it has reached
a suitable elevation. It clings firmly with its claws and re-
mains apparently quiet. On approaching it, however, a
violent internal agitation is perceptible, and prpsently the
skin of tbe back splits along the middle, aud the dragon-fly
protudes its head and part of tbe thorax. By degrees it
withdraws itself from tbe empty skin, and sits for a few hours
drying itself and shaking out the innumerable folds into
which the wide gnzy wings have been gathered. After a
series of deep respirations of the unwonted air, and much
waving of tbe wings, the glittering membranes gain strength
and elasticity, and the perfect insect launches into the air in
search of prey and a mate.

There are very many species of dragon-flies, all very sim-
ilar in their habits, being fiercely predacious, strong of wing,
and gifted with glittering colors. Unfortunately tbe rich
azure, deep green, Boft carnation, or fiery scarlet of these
insect* fade with their life, and in a few houis after death
the most brilliant dragon-fly will have faded to a blackish
brown. A collection of the several varieties will be a source
of much pleasure. In the larval form they are very destruc-
tiue of young fish.

George Peich, J. G Lewis, Judge Hall and C. N. Reed
left town at 1:30 last Friday morning on a fishing trip to
Butte Slough. They arrived home about seven in the even-
ing with 162 pounds of catfish and carp. Had the bait
lasted we believe the party would have captured 500 pounds
of fish. It whs a jolly gang of anglers and many Indicrious
incidents occurred. The judge almost froze to death going
and was so sleepy coming home that he was haltered to the
Beat to keep him from being jolted out. Peach pulled Heed
out of the slough by the coattails. Lewis' first bite was
caused by him Betting down on his hook. The biggest haul
Peach made was an old boot full of mud. All in all, the af-
fair was equal to a first-class Sunday school picnic. — Gridley

Deer Hunting in the Adirondacks.

We arrived in camp about high noon, after a four mile
row and tin eight mile carry over the mountains, from Fourth
Lake, pretty well fagged, which was not at all strange as we
bad packed a boat, three guns, ammunition and blankets., all
of the w»y, on an empty stomach, only to find upon our
arrival, some one had got away with all the grub we had left
cached. It was a clear case of bunt or go hungry, and we
hunted. I jumped into the boat and rowed for a point about
half way up the lake, while Bill, whistling to Yaller, (his
pseudonym for our best dog Yellow Lightning) and Old Ben,
htarted back in the woods, calling after me to look sharp as
be would put a deer in "bilin" of that thar pint by the time
I got thar, and sure enough I had hardly drawn up the boat
and sat down when I heard a terrible crash in the flood jam
jnst opposite and about a hundred yards back from the mouth
of a small stream that opened into the lake. I crept to the
edge of the bank and peered through the bushes just in time
to see an enormous spike buck spring into tbe air from the
opposite bank and disappear beneath the water, in a second
he reappeared again, and struck out for a point just above
me, followed by old Yaller, not more than fifty feet away. I
waited until he had gotten well out into the lake, when I
shoved off and started after him. He must have seen me
at once, as he tnrned. made a big circle, and swam for a
point on the same side he started from. He was in good

condition to swim as he hud not been running over ten
minutes, aud his shoulders showed well above the water as
be churned it to foam, in his fmntic efforts to escape. He
was at least one third of a mile distant when I started, and
as I glanced over my shoulder (after rowing a few moments),
to see if I was gaining, I saw him slightly change his course
and make for a spot that would bring him a little nearer (o
me, but where the water was very shallow for at least two
hundred feet from shore, and I also realized that he would
reach this shallow place before I could bead him off- I
redoubled my efforts fur the next few moments, and again
glanced toward him, and saw that he was but about fifty
yards away, so giving the port oar an extra pull to swing the
boat around, I picked up my Winchester and began to pump
lead at him, firing in all eight shots before he ciased swim-
ming. I attributed the number of shots I had to tire to the
roughness of the lake, which kept the boat rocking violently,
and also the facts that he was swimming fast and my being
unnerved from the hard row, but when I pulled him into the
boat I found seven bullet bules in his head and neck.

After picking up the dog I started back to camp, highly
elated, with meat enough to last for some time. Although
none too young, the spike was in fine condition, and would
weigh at least one hundred and ninety pounds, and a thick,
juicy venison steak, pan broiled, when you are extra hungry
is not to be sneezed at. As I moved slowly aloog toward
camp, smacking my lips in anticipation, suddenly I heard
old Ben give toDgue back on a long ridge running parallel
with the shore of the lake, and knew at once, from a pecu-
liarity in his bark, that he was running cloBe to something.
He kept on, down pist camp, and I began to keep a lookout
ahead, as the deer usually took to water, at that" end of tbe
lake, through another small stream just below camp, when
all of a Budden I saw Bill run ou uf the trail back of the
cabin, down to the shore, and begin to gesticulate wildly,
pointing out into the lake. I stopped rowing, took a careful
survey of the water, and saw the bushy antlers of another
buck nearly across the lake, at that point a trifle over one-
half mile in width, when Bill's "For God's sake hurry up"
started me rowing again. The buck had reached the other
shore by this time, and was standing just in the edge of the
water, outlined against a huge wall of rock that rose forty
feet above him, when suddenly Bill rushed into the cabin,
and instantly appeared again carrying hin large size Reming-
ton. Raising it, as he always did, to an angle of about forty-
five degrees, he began slowly to lower it, and as I rested on
my oars to watch the effect of the shot, he pulled the trigger.
The sharp snap of the explosion had scarcely reached my
ears when the buck bounded into the air, ran around and up
the cliff, and disappeared in the forest. I felt sure he was
badly hit from tbe way he handled himself, and, pulling to
the shore. Bill took the oars, and we were soon across.
Jumping out. fallowed by the dog, be ran up the bank, and
just as Yellow Lightning broke loose I heard a splash back of
me, and iookiog around saw tbe deer in the water. I finished
him with a ball from the Winchester, and when we dragged
him out on the sand paw where Bill's off-hand shot, with
open Bights, a trifle over half a mile, had bored him through
and through just back of the fore shoulder.

Grass Valley Saortsm^n's Club Camp Stew.

The members of this flourishing club held their annual
dove hunt and entertained their friends in a royal manner at
a camp stew on Friday last. Tbe gunners and their guests to
the number of about one hundred turned out shortly after
day-break for a ten mile apiu to the camp grounds on the
ranch of Mr. Van Slyke, near Indian Springs, A three-
hours' tramp on the ranch sent everybody to camp for break-
fast huDgry as hunters. Tbe birds were not quite as plenti-
ful as in former years, but excellent sport was bad.

After breakfast the monthly shoot of the club took place.
M. P. Stone and Doctor HayB tied for first prize, which was
deoided by a freeze-out, Doctor Hnyes coming off winner.
M. L. Elliott, who was in excellent form, carried off the hon-
ors in the second team. The camp stew took place at four
o'clock in the afternoon, Genrge Fletcher presiding with his
usual geniality. Geordie Johnson saw that everybody 's
plate was kept full, and Andy Stokes kept the camp kettle
stirred to the proper point with a ramrod. Numbers of the
neighboring farmers dropped in to partake of the hospitality
of the sportsmen, and tbe club is to be congratulated on tbe
excellent relations existing between it and the farmers. Many
of the farmers are sportsmen themselveB, and assist to pre-
serve the game. The club reciprocates by endeavoring to
protect the fences and crops from injury at the hands of
careless and irresponsible gamers. The weather on Friday
was simply perfect, the situation of tbe grounds exceedingly
beautiful and the camp stew voted by all a great success.
Tbe only objection to the stew was made by Mr. George
Fletcher, who complained because his capacity was only
about a gallon, whereas tbe stew was good enough for a five-
gallon man; but as Fletcher has been known to ciiticiso
heaven adversely, his carping did not create the discord
which he hoped for. Coon Seaman was there, more sly and
demure than his namesake, but not less fond of toothsome
doves as sent steaming to the table by friend Stokes, in
whose fame as a chef the whole region about GrasB Valley
finds its highest gratification.

Dr. I. W. Hays, Jr., is president of the club, and enjoys
certainperquisites which make him wish be was dead— suoh
as tbe cleaning of game for the stow; carrying of water a

hlock up bill for tbe tails: pulling the traps while Ed.

Roberts shoots blank cartridges at Mncom^er targets omd
bets on the gun; and ether things. The Doctor has his
quiet revenge, however, and bas been known to win thirty
cents in one day from Mr. Mitchell, Jim Shoemaker aud
other plungers on the blank cartridge proposition. Last
year E. L. Craig, Jake Rit linger, Griwwold and a lot of other
sad-eyed quail shots from Auburn attended the camp stew,
to the utter demoralization of all who came under the spell
eninnatiug from the jolly fellows. Tbe wrecks left along
the line of those who thought anybody could stand off
Auburn, were maddening to contemplate. Fine strong men
in their prime would wilt under Oris wold's stories as empha-
sized by frequent visits to the club cellar, which by the way, is
on the roof of a graceful bough house, like the ice which
frigidly virtuous Fletcher claimed to have congealed by
breathiug upon spring water. Last year's stew was gocd,
even the owl being tender; but that of last week was par
excellence, the Btew ol all stews, as was evidenced by the
consumption of a half dozen servings by connoipenr Hopper
from Sierra City. The club expected the presence of Ramon
E. Wilson an-i John M. Adams of San Francisco, fimotia
Btew-eaters. but neither could attend— there waB much
stew than there would have been. Only one adjuu
lacking, and that the presence of pome member of tl<
of "our" excellent journal the Breeder and Sports v
preference the member most epicurean.

Bell Boy Still at the Top.

Bell Boy, the great eon of Electioneer, "bred at Palo
Alto, leads the line in value, at $51,000 as a four-year-
old. He now adorns and exalts a Kentucky breeding
farm and stable at Lexington, peerless among the grand*
est of the turf in the famous blue grass section. Lately
the Bum of $40,000 was paid in Kentucky for Acolyte,
five years old, son of Onward, dam Lady Alice by Al-
mont, bred by Col. E. P. 'Pepper of South Elkington
breeding farm. His record of 2:30 at three years is away
behind Bell Boy's 2:26 at two years and 2:19^ at three
years. At five years the transplanted son of Elactioneer
is likely to further astonish the turf. It is gratifying to
Californians that the Palo Alto colt leads in value and
judged worth the highest priced ot the Kentucky favorites.

A compiler of general and special statistics of this
country is authority for the statement that the turf in-
vestments in the Western States aggregate about
.$20,000,000 — in breeding farms and the value of the
stock upon them, together with the value of the race
tracks and buildings; and that in all direct employment
is made for over 50,000 persons. He maintains that to
all this is good profit every year by the increasing de-
mand for fine horseB at high prices. Besides, the publio
are every year more numerously patronizing the turf and
its accessories, and devoting time, study and money to
the pleasures and pride incident. In all this, perhaps, the
statistician is belcw and not above the actual condition.

In another matter he is unquestionably correct. He
predicts that "it is only a question of time when America
will supply the world with horses." Yes, and with the
best horses.

Europe is a battle-ground, constantly in the condition
of a suffused volcano. The eruption and disastrous
overflow is likely to happen at any moment, as with a
cyclone, a waterspout, the bursting of a reservoir, or a
conflagration. Horses for the enormous armies of the
great powers of Europe cannot be supplied at home.
They must be obtained abroad. The many large ocean
steamers that daily ply between American and European
ports and the multitude of commercial shipping offers
the quickest service, and this country the readiest and by
far the best supply. For cavalry the horse must be
strong, powerful and of uncommon endurance, of good
speed and mettle — of the qualities of the racer and the
hunter. The American trotter has no equal in these
qualities. The thoroughbieds are superior for officers.
The horses for heavy work can be obtained in Europe
readily enough; bat for the war horse in the field, in
regular service, the American high bred trotter is in
every respect the best. Every farmer will eventually
find greater profit in these horses than in his aver-
age crops. He should cease to breed common horses,
and exercise discretion in breeding to good and fine
blood, which always commands the highest price. The
home demand is every year increasing beyond the home
Bupply to satisfy it, and a prolonged war in Europe —
likely to be precipitated at almost any moment — would
cause a quickened and very profitable market. But even
should peace prevail, the iuflux of Americans in Europe,
growing in numbers every year, will create additional
demands for the oeerless American trotter. The horse
market will also grow, and not abate or diminish.

State Fair Premiums.

The arrangements made for the State Fair for this
year are very satisfactory. The Board of Directors and
officers proDOse to increase interest io. the fair, and have
worked in good unison to that end. The fair will open
Monday, September 9th, to close the 21st of the same
month. The livestock premiums are well graded and
liberal, to reward the meritorious and encourage breed-
ers to better efforts. The several classes are well
arranged.

Class I. is for thoroughbreds, with Directors Shafter
and Boggs as Superintendents — this rule to govern —
to- wit:

"In thiB class none will be permitted to compete but
such as furnish a complete pedigree, tracing the entire
line of descent to the English parent on the side of both
sire and dam. The standard of authority for the pedi-
gree of thoroughbred horses will be the English and
American Stud Books."

Class II. embraces exclusively standard trotters, and
Directors Hancock and Chase are the Superintendents
The rules of the National Association govern, with a
waiver for this year as to registration — published in full
in the printed pamphlet.

Class III., with Directors Shippse and Singletary as
Superintendents, is for roadsters. Horses that have
trotted in a race will not be admitted to competition, or
any that are entitled to the standard trotting. clasB. All
over two years to show in harness.

Class IV., for Cleveland bays and French coach
horseB.

Claas V., carriage teams — none to be admitted of less
than 16 hands height and 1,200 pounds weight, to match
in style, action and symmetry of form — not necessarily
in color; and to be shown to carriage.

Class VI., roadster teams, owned and used as such by
one person — standard bred horses not excluded.

Class VII., horses of all work; standard horseB ex-
cluded.

Classes VIII., IX., and X., draft horses, Norman
Percheron and Clydesdales; and Class XII. , draft horseB
other than thesff. Class XII., saddle horses.

For all of these classes the premiums are liberal to
encouragement and oare of display — from .$40 down to
So, agreeably to rank, grade, degree and age — enough

to attract tte attention of breeders and owners from
every part of the State.

The speed programme is admirably prepared, from the
first day, Thursday, September 12th, to the ninth and
closing day, Saturday, September 21st, with ample
purses for trotting, running and pacing. Also the fol-
lowing stakes: Trotting— The Occident, Two-year-old,
Pacific Stallion, Three-year-old, Four- year- old. Run-
ning— Introduction, California Breeders, Daisy D., Cap-
ital City, Sunny Slope, Prize, California, Autumn,
Shafter, Palo Alto, Del Paso, California Annual, Cali-
fornia Derby, Nighthawk and La Rue.

The Breeder and Sportsman will devote attention
to the State Fair programme every week from this until
the close. The outlook is gratifying, with prospect of a
very successful Fair time and splendid turf performances
all through.

The Two-Minute Horse.

The Indianapolis Sportsman has a correspondent at
Connersville, in that State, who seems confident that "the
two-minute horse is born," and belongs in that State — a
bay colt, sire Anteros, dam Nettie by Blue Bull, and a
good line all through. The colt ia a pacer. Willing to
ooncede and hopeful of best results for the Indiana colt,
the impression is rooted that the breaker of the record of
Maud S. is now a California two-year-old, and in good
time this State will produce the colt to show the world
square trotting of the mile inside of two minutes, by
enough to make that the record.

Sunol is yet to further surprise the trotting world.
Bell Boy has still to Bpeed his fastest mile; the blood of
Stamboul and Wilkes will not sink, and there are others
to hear from in appropriate time. It required forty
years from 2:26£ to 2:0S£. Two miuutes cannot be
reasonably expected right away. The editor of the
Sportsman remarks that he would rather own the Con-
nersville colt than the best quarter section of land in
Indiana. A safer investment would be in a California
colt that would command the best city lot in Indian-
apolis.

As to Park Commissioners.

Generalities are easily commanded. Specialties re-
quire special qualifications. The Golden Gate Park has
itB specialties, its splendid and entrancing generalities-
The appointments to the Board of Park Commissioners
have been made to the general situation. An especial
quality now exists. A corresponding appointment to
the Board of Commissioners is lacking. Within two
years a speed track has been added to the enticements
and delights of the park. It is a new track, exclusive of,
and in no respect interfering with the drives and bridle
paths and walks of pedestrians. It has been made and
paid for by the private subscription of public-spirited
citizens. It is more than a mile in length and one hun-
dred feet wide — level and smooth for an even mile,
straight and of yielding clay, six inches deep, to assure
easy and safe footing for the horses. It is intended solely
as a pleasure speeding track for rapid driving, but has
none of the accessories of the racing track to which the
fastidious make objection — such as betting, track habi-
tues, saloons and gaming. It is as the park of a gentle-
man to which his worthy friends are admitted, to in-
dulge in the animating sport of the exemplary turf.
The requirement is — a Commissioner upon the Board
who has aptitude for this pleasing addition to the park
drives; one conversant with the requirements of the
speeding track, in its preparation and complete equip-
ment, with that inclination and fondness for the sport
which enlists interest; and who enjoys the respect and
possesses the confidence-of the patrons and the publio
who participate. It happens that among the very worthy
gentlemen who are Park Commissioners, there is none
thus specially qualified. The time is opportune for an
appointment that will suit. It is a fine old maxim —
noblesse oblige. It is current with gentlemen. On the
commission are two, gentlemen, eminently qualified in
the generalties, yet somewhat lacking in the special
quality. Positions of importance in public employment
are not wholly incompatible with popular duties — such
as areincumbe*nt upon a Park Commissioner. Never-
theless, the duty is better executed by one who is bound
first to acquit the official duties. Then comes the special
fitness for the place. Commissioner Hammond is U.S.
Surveyor General in this State.

General Dimond has been appointed Superintendent
of the Branch Mint in this city. These are very respon-
sible public positions, and absorb the time, as they com-
mand the unceasing attention of the incumbents. It is
suggested that these gentlemen are likely to retire from
the Park Commission, so as to devote their time and
attention to their official duties, in order that appoint-
ments shall be made, to succed to their places, of gentle-
men specially qualified fcr the new order of things at
the Park, with reference to the speeding track. With

110 word of complaint, without personal feeling in the
least, but solely in contemplation of the requirement of
means to the end, the suggestion of this order of change
and succession is discussed and submitted. The whole
matter centers in the fact that on the Park Commission
there should be a fitting representative for the new
speeding track.

Will yoa kindly state who is the owner of the filly Gorgo,
and settle a wager thereby. A wagered that George Hearst
is his owner. B claims that Palo Alto is the owner, and
Hearst controls her running qualities. Who wins?

Answer. — B. wins.

A subscriber asks as for the pedigree of a horse called
Dixie. His dam was by Bucephalus; second dam by Ken-
tucky Whip. Can any of oar readers throw any light on
the Bubject as to the sire, etc. ?

E.G.

Please give me the breeding of the Ralston Mare?

Answer. — The Ralston Mare was by Eastern's David Hill,
out of Dolly McNeil by Hoagland's Messenger. Dolly whs
also the dam of California Maid and King David.

T. R , Los ADgeles.

Ib El Rio Rey thoroughbred?

Answer. — The stud book, which is the authority, would
Bhow that he is not.

Marion, the dam of El Rio Rey, was sired by Malcolm, a
very speedy son of the great Bonnie Scotland; his second
dam, Maggie Mitchell, was a daughter of imp. Yoiksuire; his
third dam was Charmer by imp. Glencce; his fourth dam
was Betsey Malone by Stockholder; his fifth dam was by
Potomac; his aiith dam was by imp. Diomed, and his seventh
dam by Pegasus. It is through Potomac, however, that El
Bio Rey receives his cold blood. Potomac was by imp.
Diomed, first dam Fairy by Pegasus; second dam Nancy Mc-
Cullock by Young Yorick (a cold-bloorled horse); third dam
by a half-blooded horse called Silver Eye, fourth dam a com
mon wag^n horse; fifth dam a common plough mare called
the Estray Mare. Potomac was a very celebrated race-horse,
bat few race-horses descended from him, although he was
bred to some of the best mares in Virginia. It is true that
young Yorick, who brings the first cold blood into El Rio
Rey's pedigree, was many times removed from the great colt,
but for all that his breeding is not up to the thoroughbred
standard as adopted in this country, and he cannot techni-
cally rank as a thoroughbred if the data furnished by the
American Stud Book are to be relied upon.

Subscriber.

Will you kindly answer the following: Did Spokane's rider
wear a blue jacket in the American-Derby? On what dates
do the following horses run nest, and in what stakes: Prinoe
Royal, Spokane, Don Jose, Salvator, Los Angeles.

Hope it will not be too much trouble to ascertain these
questions in time for your nest issue.

Answer. —Blue is the Montana Stable's color, so it is prob-
able that Kiley wore blue. You will have to write to the
owners to find out when they propose to start their horses.

Petaluma reader.

If a gentleman nominates a colt in a stake, and should die
before the race takes place, can his executor or any other
person, etart the colt in the same stake by paying whatever
balance may be due.

Answer.— Both the American and National Associations
have a rule which covers the case. The following is the
'■National" which is similar to the "American" rule. Rule
10 section 1, all engagements, including obligations for en-
trance feeB, shall be void upon the decease of either party or
horse; so far as they shall effect either party or horse; but
forfeits, also matches made "play or pay" shall not be ef-
fected by the death of a horse.

How To Tell Good Oats.

Good oats are clean, hard, dry, sweet, heavy, plump, full
of flour, and rattle like shot. They have a clean and almost
metallic luBtre. Each oat in a well grown sample is nearly
of the same size. There are but few Bmall or imperfect
graiDS. The hard pressure of the nail on an oat should leave
little or no mark. The kernel when pressed between the
teeth, Bhould clip rather than tear. The skin should be
thin. The size of tbe kernel will be less in proportion as the
skin is thick. The color of the oat is not very material, but
white oats are generally thinner in the skin than black.
Again, black oatB will grow on inferior soils. Short, pomp
oats are preferable to large, long grains. Bearded oats mast
have an excess of husk. Oats are not necessarily bad be-
cause they are thin-skinned or bearded; but they must con-
tain a less amount of flour per bushel than thin-skinned oats
without beards.

Raising th« "Weights.

The prejudices of many of the old-time owners and train-
ers in favor of light weights has been overcome hy a 6quare
consideration of facts. Weight never hurt a horse, and under
the new schedule, experience on the part of a jockey and the
skill which comes with it will no longer be at a discount. At
prestnt the mere apprentice for jockeyBhip honors has the
odds all in his favor as against the older mao, and thus the
spur of ambition to excel, to become perfect, to acquire the
mysteries of "hands," judgment of pace, and starting well
and quickly, without worrying your horse and the official
with the flag till past endurance, was lacking.

The few pounds that have been added all around will con-
fer a positive boon, and in two-year-old races particularly
will the good effect Boon be seen. There are more two-year-
olds ruined by inexperienced boys every year than one has
any idea of. Every racing stable can furnish one with a
long list of instances where youngsters with undoubted
speed had their courage broken, their tempers ruined, their
months spoiled or their joints wrenched by hot-headed light-
weight jockeys. We do not think the new rule will be a
panaca for all thin, but it will go a great way toward dimin-
ishing existing evils, and this, after all, is a great step in the
right direction, and if only boys were apprenticed hard and
fast, as they are in England, and afterwards bad to take out
a license, there would undoubtedly be a still greater improve-
m«nt in both riders and horses.

The American Derby.

Last Saturday the Californians all left the track disap
pointed and heart-broken, both the Pacific Coast representa-
tives having failed, but though beaten Sorrento made such a
gallant fight that the irrepreBBible Dan has yet great hopes of
waving his white hat as a signal of victory in some big race .
The start was delayed by Proctor Knott for a short time.

After three false starts they were sent away to a good start
but before they had gone a furlong Proctor Knott had as-
sumed trie lead, while Spokane was trailing iu the extreme
rear. Knott gradually increased his advantage, and at the
end of the first half mile, that iB passing the grand staud, he
was leading by three lengths and yet under a steady pull.
The others were fairly well bunched behind, with Spokane
Btill bringing up the rear. These poBitiorjs were not materi-
ally changed until the back stretch was reached, which com-
pleted sis furlongs of the race. At this time the pace quick-
ened and Riley began to better his position on Spokane.
Half way down the backstretch Knott had about two lengths
the best of it. Don Jose second, and the others close np
Spokane being now fourth. '

KdoU's stride wa6 now beginning to weaken, and when
tbe head of the home stretch was reached he was barely half
a leDgth in front, Retrieve being now second and Spokane
third, but all still pretty wtll bunched. Before the eighth
pule was reach Knott WdB hopelessly beaten, while the lead-
ers were now Retrieve and Spokane, with Sorrento coming
up strong next the railp, on the inside, all the others out of
the race. For a few jumps Betrieve had her head in front,
but just inside the eighth pole Spokane forged to the front!
while Sorrento, coming very «troDg, passed Retrieve near the
string, but could not reach Spokaue, who won by a scant
length, Sorrento the same distance before Retrieve. Once
Again was fourth. Long Dance fifth, Don Jose sixth. Proctor
Knott being palled up inside the eighth pole, a distressed
and fagged out horse.

The fractional time was: Quarter, 26 J; half, 52;*; sis fur-
longs, 1:19; mile, 1:454; mile and a quarter, 2:14; mile and
a half. 2:41}.

The vatue of tbe stake to the winner is a little over $1S -
000. Kiley rode Spokane, Taral, Sorrento, and Isaac Lewt's
was on Retrieve, who is the full sister of Montrose.

Spokane was bon^ht for $250 when a yearling, being then
described as a weak, puny looking youngster. The change
in his appearance has evidently been great, for now he is
said to be the ideal type of a race-horse. As the thorough-
bred is described he is a chestnut, with a blazf face and two
white stockings behind. To a trotting horseman be would be
a strawberry roan. Nine horsemen out of ten would call him
a roan, and that description would perfectly fit his hind-
quarters. Standing sixteen hands high, possessing a big
frame, fine bone, and an abundance cf muscle, and being as
clean cut as a greyhound from muzzle to heels, at a glance
he would fill the eye of a connoisseur. In action he pre-
serves all the beauty he presents in repose.

Our breeders should learn to distinguish between "stand-
ard bred" and "standard" animals. No horse (fiven though
he be sired by a 2:08| dam) is standard until he be registered.
The rules of entry to standard rank may be changed at any
rime, hence a horse that may be to-dav standard bred or
standard by performance, if not registered, may be left out
in the cold to-morrow.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Knowing your desire
is to benefit the dear public as well as yourselves, permit rue
to suggest a remedy, to cure the apathy existing among our
people towards fairs. My idea is to create healthy, hsppy
competition among the districts, such as we rind in Ken-
tucky. The attendance is the key note of success, large gate
receipts insure good premiums, and tbat means good dis-
plays. To insure the above results, the people and the
directors, or management must become intimately acquainted
which can only be done by the community knowing the
facts. A common expression haB been made: "Oh, you made
lots of money last year;" "never were such gates." "I'm
busy, plenty without me." Let the Board publish the ac-
tual gate statistics, dead heads, employes, etc., such as is
done by the St. Louis Fair Association, Cincinnati Industrial
Exposition and Kansas City Fair. Then by urging the neces-
sity of at least one holiday during Fair week, we can soon
vie with the famous "Blue Grass" fairs of Kentucky.

Los Angeles, Cal., June 22, 1889. E. A. De Camp.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Let me call the atten-
tion of the thongbtful breeder, and sportsman if you like, to
the roadster class in State Fair at Sacramento for 1SS9. See
page 27 of the last premium list. First, no aoimul which bas
trotted in a race is eligible. If the restriction stopped here,
I would say amen! But it does not. It goes on to say
furthermore, no aDimal entitled to entry in the standard
class is eligible in the roadster class. Does this last restric-
tion bar the intelligent breeder or does it offer a premium on
ignorance? or doeB it expect trotters from pacers and rnn-
nerB? Is the roadster class formed to spur the intelligent
breeder to uo longer breed to standard performers, but to "go
outside" into the thoroughbred and pacing ranks to get from
the first out-cross a trotter and a roadster?

Let us see what you can not enter in this exclusive class
(Roadster) because it is standard. Of course a record of any
kind is a bar unless gained outside of a race.

Next, do Btallion which has sired two 2:30 performers.
Next, no stallion which has one 2 30 performer, and is be-
sides the sire of two 2:35 performers, or has a sire or dam
that is already a standard animal.

Next, any mare which has produced a 2:30 performer.
Next. aDv of her progeny by a standard horse,jmale or female
or gelded.

Next, the female progeny of a standard horse when out of
a mare not herself standard, but one whose dam is standard.

These are the animals you may not call roadsters, nor
enter as such.

Now let us see what is a roadster, (lusus noXurce) a freak of
nature, an escape from intelligent breeding. 1st: Any stal-
lion or gelding by a standard horse, but not from a standard
mare, or any stallion out of a standard mare, but not bj' a
standard horse. Once in a while a trotter iB obtained, (it is
not the rule, as Scotland by Bonnie Scotland, out of the
prepotent standard dam Waterwitch) six in the 2:30 list. 2d:
Any female by a standard horse, but not out of a standard
mare. The female progeny of a standard horse when not
out of a mare whose dam was standard.

Last, but not least, when you turn your back on the in-
telligent breeding and development of a hundred years, you
throw away tbe experience of all time. If you make up your
mind to help the State Fair to create a roadster from the
beginning, that is, commence over again, (not throw physic to
the dogs, but performance and pedigree). Shall we do this
in the light of the nineteenth century? Shakespeare says,
''The spirit of the times shall teach us speed." But the
roadster class must not have too much speed, and what it
does have it must get on the outside of approved courses,
because they are standard. It seems to me the premium list
in the roadster class at the California State Fair and at all
other fairs which exclude Btandard bred trotters from compe-
tition, aim to restore the dung-hill trotter, a barnyard fowl.

The age wants the best. No argument is stronger to breed
a trotting stallion to a thoroughbred mare in order to get a
trotting colt than that you get the faultless form and high
courage of the blooded horse. If the thoroughbred was
made standard, as he easily could be, and is bv inherent
right, where could a breeder go with certainty to get symme-
try, speed, courage, and style for roadsters? Why send to
Russia for a consignment of Orloff trotters.

ATHLETICS.

Peculiarities of Pony Racing.

A curious question has arisen in English racing circles in
connection with pony racing. In the early part of the year
a racing filly, not up to Newmarket form, was let to an
undergraduate for pony racing, in which she proved herself
to be about the best in England, winning all she started for.
Here comes in the extraordinary part of the business. She
was entered in all those races as a three-year-old, though as
a matter of fact she is only two years old, and the resolt is
that the Pony llacing Club have warned the euthosiar-tic
young owner off, and the mare is disqualified forever. The
owner is dow breathing law, and he, in turn, is to be made a
defendant by the breeder on the score of a breach of contract.
It might be urged that there were not sufficient grounds for
the warning off, iusomuch as tboogh it would undoubtedly
be a crime to run a three-year-old in a two-year-old r-ice and
thus get a good advantage, to run a two-year-old in a three-
year-old race would be to gain the very reverse of an advant-
age. To this, however, it is replied, and with great force,
"Yea; but if tbe filly had been kept until she was three
yearn old Bhe would probably have grown, and thus, being
07e- the stipulated Btandard in height, she would not have
bp* tpialifi^H to compete." The case is, we believe, before
ihe 'ickey Club.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDlTllD BY ABPHIPPUS.
SUMMARY.

The local athletes are jubilant over the bright prospects in
store for them. The DireotorB of the California Athletic
Club have leased, for ten years, the training grounds con-
nected with the park at Harbor View, and are having them
fitted up in good shape for their promising young out-door
athletes. The Directors of the Olympic Club have purchased
a piece of property in the neighborhood of the Haight Street
baseball grounds, and on it they will build first class train-
ing quarters for their out-door men. The wheelmen are
busy getting into trim for the big race-meet which comes off
at Stockton on Thursday next. The oarsmen are training
hard for the coming regatta, and the professional ltng dis-
tance and amatenr short distance runners are practicing
daily for the races, which will come off under the auspices
of the Scottish Thistle Club on the 4th.

BUNKERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

A. H. Lean has recovered from his recent illness, and will
train hard for the initial games nf the California Athletic
Association. Lean will, no doubt, make good rtcords in the
shot-potting and jumpiug events.

McArthur will try to knock off a few seconds from the
coast record for the mile run, on September 9th.

Coolty, the well known amateur long distance runner, it is
said, will soon become a member of the Olympic Club. The
Directors of the California Club acted a little too hastily
in erasing his name from their roll of amateur members.

Young Moffat, of the U. C, with sleady and judicious
practice should, in the next couple of years, lower the Amer-
ican records for the running high and long jumps, and short
distance hurdle events.

W. A. Beatty, of the D. C, states that he intends racing
in spiked shoes in future. Beatty has already covered a mile
under five minutes, using ctnvns slippers, and going flat-
footed. With proper shoes Air. Beatty should closely Dress
the coast record.

Two prominent amateur members of the California Club
have been notified that their names have been dropoed from
the membership roll. They were not informed "for what
reason, but from an officer of tbe club it has been ascertained
that the two athletes in question violated the rules of the
club by competing in the late championship meeting held
under the auspices of the P. C. A. A. A. One of the two
deposed members will, no doubt, be re-instated, as he was
ignorant of the rules of the club, but the other one will
probably not apply for reinstatement, as the case against him
is too strong.

At the Scottish Thistle Club's games, which will take plae>
on Thursday nest, the two chief events will be the one mile
run for professionals and the half mile run for amateurs. The
winner of the former race will receive §50, the second man
§30, and the third man §20, making a total of $100. For the
amateur race three very handsome medals will be awarded.
Doubtless such rare inducements will attract a large field of
competitors.

The handicap out-door meeting of the Olympic Club,
which will be held at the club's new grounds on Admission
Day, will certainly bring out all the available athletes on the
Pacific Coast, and a gala day may be locked forward to. The
athletes who were shy about contesting for championship
honors will enter with the expectation of receiving liberal
handicaps, and the soratch men will be kept pretty busy.

The Olympic Club should include a Beven mile walk on
their programme for that day, in order to afford the ex-
English champion, James Jarvis, an opportunity to lower
the American record for that distance. Mr. Jarvis feels con-
fident that he can easily perform the task.

John Purcell is seriously thinking about retiring from the
athletic world for the present. aB business matters render it
impossible for him to train. Mr. Purcell felt very much hurt
over some remarks that were made relative to his perform-
ances at the late championship meeting, and he now vows
that hd will never again compete in any games unless he has
a chance to train before hand. It is a great pity that Mr
Purcell cannot afford time to train, for when in good condi-
tion he is an athletio prodigy.

It is high time that the 'varsity boys were holding an open
out-door meeting. The members of the U. C. are well able
to hold their own against all comers, and should give some
attention to the suggestion.

When the new training grounds of the California Amateur
Athletio Club are finished periodical handicap meetings open
only to members, will be held, and valuable prizes will be
presented to the different winners. The idea is a capital one,
and will no doubt help to largely increase the amateur mem-
bership of the club.

The half mile record of L. E. Myers has been broken at
last. On June 21st Walter C. Dohm of Princeton College
covered the distance in 1 minute 55} seconds. Myers' record
was 1 minute 55 2-5 seconds, made at New York October 3d,
18S5. Several well-known athletes who saw Dohm run say
that in time he will lower the world's record, which is 1
minute, 53} seconds, made by F. Hewett in Now Zeland
September 21st, 1871.

The P. C. A. A. A. should compel all clubs within its juris-
diction to hold an open out-door meeting once a yoar. The
inducements that are held oot to athletes on the Pacific
Coast are entirely too meagre to tempt them to keep in con-
stant practice, and without constant practice, it must not be
expected that our athletes can make as good records as some
of ihe Eastern cracks, who are in constant training. If the
P. C A. A. A. would adopt this rule, the athletic meetings
would be more frequent and the athletes would fiud more
inducements to train oftener.

The athletes who succeeded in winning prizes at the late
championship meeting of the P. C. A. A. A , will be glad to
learn that the medals will be distributed on the o.casion of
the Catch-as-catch-can wrestling tournament which will take
place at tbe Olympic Club rooms tbe third week in July.

THE WHEELMEN.

Loud andmaDyare the complaints that are being made
against tbe manHgers of the Haight Street Grounds fur their
negligence in keeping the track in good condition. Several
wheelmen say that if the track was kept in good, or even fair
cond lion, thoy would be only too glad to nay a liberal fee to
be allowed the privilege of training there.

Quite a number of wheelmtn are away on their vacation,

and in all parts of the country straggling riders may be met
with.

The meeting which will come off at Stockton on Thuisday
next promises to be a big success. It is expected that riders
from all over tbe S'ate will participate in ihe proceeding.
The following officers of the day will serve: Marshall of the
day, Edwin Mohrig; Referee, Kobert M. Welch; Judges, Geo.
H. Strong, C. C. Moore, C P, Fonda; Timp-keepers, E. W.
Adams, W. H. McKee, Edwin Mohrig; Umpires, B. W.
Moore, F. W. Leadbetter; Clerks of the Course, E. W. Pier-
son, E, Bartholemew; Scorers, C. L. Angell, D. Weaver;
Starter, F. E. Richardson.

The next regular meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen will
be held on Monday evening next, July 1st. Nominations for
the "B. C. W." ticket for League officers will be made, and a
full attendance is earnestly requested.

IS THE SURF.

At the different surf-bathing resorts it has been learned
that business has been rather dull during the past few
months. The weather lately has been anything but pleasant,
and the cold and raw air haB kept the bathers from indulging
in their favorite pastime. However, we may expect a warm
spell during the months of August, September and October.

From all accounts Camp Capitol* is fast becoming a very
popular bathing resort, and persons that have been in the
habit of spending their summer months at Santa Cruz, say
that they prefer bathing at Capitola in preference to the for-
mer place. Tbe surf at Santa Cruz is too rough, and only
good swimmers should bathe there.

There are several good swimmers amongst the members of
the C. A. A., and when the new training grounds at Harbor
View are complete, the New Montgomery street athletes will
have an excellent chance to indulge in their maritime past*
time.

When the Sutter Street Bailroad Company extend their
cable line to Black Point it is understood that a corporation
will erect an immense bathing establishment on the beach
close to where the cars will stop. The bath will be built on
the most improved plan, and the smallest child can without
daDger of drowning derive the benefits of a surf bath.

The proprietors of the Shelter Cove baths situated at the
foot of Mason street, will offer some handsome medals for
amateur contests some time next month.

HOOK AND LINE.

There was some excellent fishing at Point Tibnron on last
Sunday, and several large catches of rock cod were reported.

Tbe number of ladies that visit that favorite fishing place
is indeed very large, and the boat men over there assert that
the fair sex are just as adept with the line as any of their
male companions.

It is very strange indeed that people who visit Tiburon
almost every Sunday are not aware of the fact that good fish-
ing may be had within a stone's throw of the boat landing.
The majority of the fish seekers imagine that the further they
go the better their chance of success will be. This is a very
grave delusion to labor under, for within a quarter of a mile
of the depot the best fishing may be found. If people wonld
only take the trouble to test the accuracy of this statement,
they might possibly save much time and labor.

Blsbingat Tiburon and Saucileto should be good to-morrow,
for the tide will be favorable ail day.

Bad fishing was reported all along the wharves in this city
and at Oakland on Sunday last. To-morrow will, on account
of the tide, prove a more profitable day to fishermen.

Anglers who travelled to Crystal Springs last Sunday ex-
perienced an unusually bad day's fishing, and many returned
borne sadly disappointed.

AT THE OARS.

The action of the 4tb of July Committee in refusing to
allow a sum of money for regatta purposes is greatly con-
demned. The special committee appointed to solicit sub-
scriptions are meeting with glorious success, and without the
aid of the municipal authorities we will have a big regatta
after all. Large money prizes will be offered for the pro-
fessional events, while valuable medals will be given for the
amateur races. Several prominent amateur and professional
oarsmen will compete in the races, and a fine day's sport
may be expected.

Henry Peterson has been engaged as trainer by the Salt
Lake Bowing Club.

The oarsmen have been very busy through the week get-
ting up their muscle for the coming Fourth.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

The Directors of the California Athletic Club have leased
the training grounds connected with the Harbor View Park
for a term of ten years, and they have shown much discretion
in making such a suitable selection. The new grounds will
be finished in about two weeks. A seven lap track is being
built, and when complete will be faster than tbe track at the
14th and Centre Street Grounds, Oakland. Mr. Philo Jacoby
who is superintending the improvements, says that he will
leave no stone anturned towards making the grounds the
most complete of the kind on the Pacific Coast. The fact that
the park is situated so close to the sea makes the location the
more acceptable, for Bait water baths are highly commendable
for training purposes.

It is rumored tbat the newly organized Pacific Athletic
Club will make application for admit-sion to the California
Amateur Athletic Association. The club has the names of
geveral good athletes on Us roll, and would prove a valuable
acquisition to the C. A. A. A.

Whenever a member of the C. A. A. A. breaks a record he
will receive a speciul medal.

The C. A. C. has leased the armory across the way from
their present head-quarters, and in it the" fnture fxbibitious
of the club will be held. Seats to accommodate 250b people
will be erected, 60 that the members will henceforward ue
able to witness the coDtests in perfect comfort. The club
will also, from time to time, give amateur boxing and wrest-
ling tournaments, to which the fair sex will be invited, and
the directors are fully determined to place tbe club ou a
social level with the Olympic and other prominent organiza-
tions.

Owing to the split up between the P. C. A. A. A. and tbe
C. A. A. A. the number of competitors that will take part in
the athletic meetings of the future will be considerably Jess
than in the pa-t. The way matters stand at present leaves
the athletes divided into two bodies, and when one-half is
taking part iu an athletic meeting the other lhalf will be scat-
tered amongst the audience watching the performances of '
their rivals. It is really too bad that the atblptes cannot
come to a happy understanding nun once more join hauds.
The only way in future tbat one faction can claim superiority
over the otber will be through the records made by the dif-
ferent athletes.

tournay nest month under London Club rales, and have en-
gaged Prof. McCleery, under whose pergonal direction the
games will be played. Ladies will attend. SpeakiDg of
ladies as plavers, we are assured that in the near future their
performance's will prove an attraction in the billiard news.

M Vigneau, the French expert, is giving fancy exhibitions
at the Exposition in Paris, and proving an immense attraction,
bo much so, that the Grand Cafe has engaged Eugene Carter,
oar American "GFne," to exhibit nightly there. Standing
room is at a premium. The papers of the gay capital, give
illostrations of the wonders performed by both of the above
named experts. ,,.-,, L

The Mechanic's Fair and the State Fair, last year each
made a good move, which proved a very attractive feature in

engaging the services of our local champion McCleery, whose
fancy shots, by the way, are pronounced by those competent
to judge, superior to any of the great players.

Physicians for years have recommended billiards, and no
house or home is really complete without a table.

Summer Pruning.

[Written fob the Breeder and Sportsman ]
Now is the time to pinch back trees aDd take off all super-
fluous growth. The object ot summer pruning is to throw a
tree into bearing by pinching off the ends of the branches,
thus throwing what sap remains into those that are left on
the trees. Prunes can stand a pretty severe pruning in sam-
mer; all the straight woody side branches can be takeu off
close to the main limbs, and the fruit spurs of considerable
length cut off to within three or four inches, while they can
be topped the same as in winter, thus making two growths
in one season. This will not injure the tree at all. Other
trees of some kinds will not stand too severe a pruning in
summer, but prunes are hardy enough to stand considerable.

If it does not seem desirable to cot back so close, just top
them off, and this will give a good stocky growth to piune
on the following winter. The side spurs will throw out new
growth, and these in turn shonld be kept pinched Imcfi,
through the summer and fall. Young cherry trees may be
made to bear, what would be called heavy crops, when only
four or five teet high, if they are kept pinched* back. Peach
and apricot trees do not need much summer piuuing, gen-
erally having enough frnit bods without any forcing. It :~
a good idea though, to take off the side growths that are nut
needed to shape the tree, this can be dooe with the shears,
and leaves the trees in good ehape, to be earily handled,
when the regular pruning season arrives. June is a good
month to summer pruneB in, around the Bay coon ties, while
in earlier parts ot the Stute, it should generally be per-
formed sooner, regulating that as the growth of tbe trees may
demand. Trees over five or six years old do not require this
pinching back process. Of course they should not be al-
lowed to bear too young, but by thoroughly summer prun-
ing every year utter they are two y.ars of nge, t
pared and forced into frait buds, bo that, win I

enough to stand a fair crop, they yield immeii
the care bestowed on them.

on the Sacramento track. He has shown me trials
that were marvelous, one especially of a mile and a
quarter that was ahead of the present record." He

was* Btarted in several races when i ot i < minimi to

run, and even then developed an amount of spetd Hint
is characteristic of the nole't families from which lie
descends. His performances are tuuwell km>wn to
need repetition here Good judges of horses st .te pos-

FRESNO, CAL,

IVovember 20, 1889.

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

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

We, the undesigned, do certify that the Fresno Fair Grounds Association Is perfectly responsible,
and its statements are reliable:

O. J. Woodwabd, President First National Bank.

Louis Einstein, President Bank of Ceniral California.

H. D. Oolson, President Fresno National Bank.

Gentlemen:- We have used Ossicline ior the past two yewrs
and consider it invaluable for Sprung Tendons, Curba, Ringbone
and SpavinB; there is nothing equals it; and forus it effected a
permanent cure where firing failed, although perfo med by one of
the most- successful veterinarians on the continent. We have
recommended it to others with like success, and believe it has
more merit tbau anv blister ever used.

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

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

I have long used it in my stables, and find it to be all
thatis claimed lor it in removingeallous and unnatural
bony growths, without leaving the slightest blemish.
From my experience, I most strongly recommend the
use of Ossidine, and feel that it is a necessary adjunct
to every stable. Yours respectfullv,
