Turf Reminiscences. Weittes fob the Bbeedee asd Spobtbmas. From;my summering retreat I make occasion to Bcribble a screed to say that the mention in yonr paper of last week of good old Hiram Woodruff, and some others of the trotting tnrf of my early remembrance, was to me very interesting reading, and so it teas. I doubt not, to any who knew Wood- ruff and can recall that period. Trotting was then compara- tively In its infancy. A mile in three minutes was fast — anything quicker was enough to make the horse a reputation as a "goer." Hiram Woodruff was recognized authority amoug sporting men. He was a big-hearted man and fond of fine horses and good company. But I have since seen so much of improvement in the methods of training and hand- ling trotters that I am brought to the conclusion that the old Hiram was faulty in some of his ideas about horses, and par- ticularly of trotters. He was too heavy himself to r?de, but he used to contend that better speed could be got out of a trotter under the saddle than in harness. His idea of train- ing was away behind the practise of this time. It was no use to try to argue with him. He was good natured and easy to get along with on almost any other subject; but when talking horse he had no patience for difference of opinion and would not allow contradiction. If he didn't know it all, he felt confident that he knew more about training and trotting than any other living man, and nearly everybody deferred to him, so that he was confirmed ia his habit of oracular ex- pression on turf matters. It was a symposium of real de- light to listen to Hiram when he was In the talking humor among the companions he liked and used to meet at the places he was most at home. Mr. John I. Snediker's, on the Jamaica road was one of these, and a famous place it was for sporting men and good fellows. Among the habitues nsed to be old Cale Weeks, the circus man — rich and gen- erous and full of fun — given to playing practical jokes, on hi* ■friends and everybody. His country seat at Jamaica was a home of charming hospitality, comfort and good cheer. His two sons were chips of the old block. A week with them at Peichogue, fishing, boating and frolicking, was a treat not to be forgotten. Old Cale was a frequent visitor at John I's, as the house was familiarly known, and there one was likely to meet every afternoon or evening the "bloods" of New York, the best class of sporting men, and the grand old "bucks" of Knickerbocker line. June Stagg, the best known "blood" of New York, was often there. He was a blazer, chuck full of fun and devilment, without harm to anyone, and everlastingly getting off some new, wild prank to surprise, amuse and delight the crowd. He was the Cor- inthian Tom of hiB day — tall, handsome of form, of noble countenance, and every inch a man of best mould and nature. On racing days at the Union course, Snediker's was always crowded with the cream of the patrons of the turf. There Hiram "Woodruff was in his element, and always had about him delighted listeners and an admiring multitude. The youngsters regarded him as a Gameliel, at whose feet it was an honor to sit and hearken. At John Murphy's fine resort on East Broadway, at Rich- mond's popular place on Broadway, nearly opposite Pearl Street, by Bonfanti's, above the entrance to the hospital, the old Washington hotel, which stood on the Bite of Stewart's down town marble store, and the old Washington Street house opposite the market, where Bo3S Bill Harrington used to take his "pet boy," Tom Hyer, were the New York resorts of "Woodruff, and while the Beacon Course was kept up on "Weehawhen bluff on the Jersey shore, at Hoboken, Mc- Carthy's house was another of his favorite retreats. The turf men of the time — "Woodruff, Conklin, Spicer, Jim Bevins, Jake Somerindike and others, whose names are not recalled, the Ludlum brothers, great horse men, and many more, were also frequenters of McCarthy's. Not far from his house was the secluded spot where Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamil- ton in the fatal duel, and the Sybil's Cave was another place of visiting interest Porter, the "Tall Son of York," a native of Kentucky, was editor of the New York Spirit of the Times. His office rooms, Barclay Street, were ornamented with pictures and trophies of the turf of every quality of sporting and hunting and fishing, and Porter was himBelf a genial, hearty enter- tainer, a magnificent good fellow at dinner, with an unceas- ing fund of anecdote to draw upon at random. Lord, but sometimes it seems to me that all those departed spirits have left none to fill their vacant places, yet when the contrast of the work and performances of Hiram "Woodruff and the trot- ting men of his period is made with that of the brilliant masters of this time, it is a contrast, and allows no compari- son. Men like Marvin and Doble, Splan and Hickok, Gold- smith and Turner, could teach Woodruff in trotting and instruct all of his day in training and handling and driving trotters. With Woodruff and them it was an art. The masters of this day have advanced it to a science, and the horse ia ennobled by their syBtem to the best uses of man, to the per- fect development of the intelligent animal. Had the little gray mare, Lady Suffolk, been committed to the care of a trainer the equal of any of those mentioned above, the prob- ability is that she would have been brought to trot the mile below 2:20. Her owner, Dave Bryant, I was quite well acquainted with, and I saw the mare in many of her track performances. Bryant was very proud of her, disliked to have any but himself to handle her, but he was neglectful and not qualified to get utmost speed from her. He had his own rough notions about driving and working her, and in these he was obstinately confirmed — would not take advica from any one. Plain, honest, stubborn man that he was, he had the good fortune to own the best trotter of his time, and still he used her like a hack horse in his customary drive to town, taking no more care of her than the ordinary peddler gives to a fruit wagon plug. I remember when Pat Hunt, tine, manly, handsome fellow that he was, came to San Francisco early in the '50's and took the stable corner of Sacramento and Kearny streets with Ful- ton, keen, clever, little gentleman, as his business man. Pat was the star trotting driver of California. Lady Mac was the speediest on the local turf. Tom Battelle used to make a fine show of afternoons on the Mission and Lake road with his fancy roadster New York that never could go in less than three minutes, if he ever did the mile so low. John Crook, J. Daniels, and some other old timers were the noted driv- ers. Pat Hunt excelled all of them. "When Jim Eoff came there was a new order of things. He was certainly skilled. But he was something besides. It is the masterful skill and the unquestioned integrity of Marvin, Goldsmith, Doble, Hickok, and a few other of the great drivers which has ele- vated trotting to the high rank equivalent to the English Derby and Oaks, [the St. Leger andDoncaster, and the others in that rank. The greatest praise is deserved by the wealthy men of California who have better enabled these superior horsemen to practice the development of the horse — particularly of the trotter. Leland Stanford has benefitted California and this whole Pacific Coast, by establishing the great breeding farms of Palo Alto and Vina, and by bringing here Electioneer and General Benton, and other sires of great worth, with mares of choicest blood, to a degree that will grow with every year as substantial wealth in eligible landed property grows and produces greater good. His great wealth is applied to the benefit and usefulness and betterment of mankind and of the domestic animals — of the horse especially. In worthy asso- ciation belong the names of Ruse and Corbett, Haggin and "Winters, Hearst and Baldwin, and others who have largely invested in the introduction here of the best blood in thor- oughbreds, and racing, trotting, stud celebrity. These gen- tlemen have gained for California a reputation which the famous Bine Grass region of Kentucky does not excel, and the choicest of the product of the Orange County Hamble- tonians meets at sales in New York the scions of the old stock bred in California, which command prices above theirs. It is enrichment of .the State, and fame beyond the enrich- ment. VETERAN. ■» Helena Eack Track. Helena, Mon., June 29, '89. Editor Breeder axdSportsmax: — Things are very lively at present here, every one getting ready for the July meeting which commences on the 3rd and continues four days. The programme is good and should till well for there are about ninety horses on the ground and about forty more are expected the coming week. The association is building fifty more new stalls so as to be able to accommodate all who come. The runners are out in full force, from quarter horses to three-quarter ones. One dare not open his mouth about a quarter race, as he will be taken up at once. The largest running stable is that of Mr. Bakers. His stable consists of 10 head, viz., Vice Regent ch g, 7 years by Regent Dan'I B. ch g, 6 yrs., by Glen Ellen, who won a \- race here week before last, in :22J, and 'some say he went faster; Ida Glen, ch m, 7 yrs., by Glen Ellen; Nevada, ch m 4 yrs., by Regent; War Peek, b g, 4 yrs., by Chesapeke; X. ch s, 3 yrs., by Regent; Yum Yum, bg f, 3 yrs., by Regent; Trifle, b f, 2 yrs., by Red Boy; Carrie Lee, ch f, 2 yrs., by Regent; Katie Putnum, g f , 2 yrs., by Geo. "Wilkes. Mr. Bakers has great hopes of all in his string, but he con- siders Nevada the best, as she won the Montana Derby last year, running the mile and a half in 2:39, the fastest mila and a half ever run in Montana. In Mr. Blevin's stable there are five: Skucum chg, 2 yrs., by Red Boy — Bessie Douglass; Bertie H's oh g, 2 yrs., by Red Boy— Austeroid by Red Bluff; Tolulu Boy, f, 3 yrs., by Red Boy— Yogo by Red Bluff; Ailee, ch b, 3 yrs., by Regent — Lillie Lancashire by Lexington; Glenolia, ch f, 2 yrs., by Glen Ellen. Bertie H and Skucum are engaged here in the Pioneer Stakes and in numerous stakes at Deer Lodge, Anaconda and Butte. Mr. J. R. Crawford has two; Olympia, b g, 4 yrs , by Luke Blackburn — Belladona by Brown Dick. This one is a win. ner sure as I saw him work a mile last week in 1:47 with shoes on and 131 lbs. up; Sunday, by e, aged, by Sundance — Norma; any one that beats him a half mile will know that there was a race. P. E. Bybee's Oregon stable is in charge of Mat White, and contains the following: Oregon, ch s, 4, by Monday — Pane. cia; Broadchurch, ch s, 3, by Leinster — Tibbie Dunbar; Tom O'Hara, b g, 3, by Kyrle Daley— Rosey G.; Billow, ch m, 6, by LongBeld— Media by Norfolk; Raindrop — 2, br tally by Ophir — Naella by California; Roebucker, br c, 2, by "Wood, bury— Unknown. Babb & Mulkey's Stable contains Bogns, ch g, aged, by Op- hir—unknown; Tom Daly's ch g, aged, by Patsy Daffy — Sunshine; Duffy "Winter's b g, aged, by Patsy Dnffy— Neva "Winters by Joe Hooker; Rosa Lewis' ch m, aged, by Flood — Fanny Lewis by Imp. Bnckden; Qaebec's chg, aged, by Nor- folk—Jennie Hull; Moses B., ch s, 4. by Leinster— Aunt Jane; Guido, ch c, 2, by Diuble Cross — Aurora by Thad Stevens. Mr. Sutton's stable has Bob Wade, 4 yrs., pedigree un- known. He ran Daniel B. to a head in 224; Tricksey, g m by Carriboo; Sosie Ellen by Glen Ellen; Dolly a quarter mare pedigree unknown. California is represented by T. F. Lynch'; looks well, and from the way he ran at Port] np among them. John Esterbrook's Diavolo,^ — ^Ite Ipmder &u& Mpoxtsmmx. July 6 Dame Winnie; "Brick" iB training and'riding him himself, and he looks in the pink of condition'. Tommy Bally is also here with Little Phil, by LeinBter— Laura H. Phil haB filled up very much since he left the Bay, and Tommy jb dead stock on him. Billy Stewart, the pckey. is riding first for Mulkoy. He is already engaged cd ride in all races where Mulkey does not start. The trotters are numerous, among them being Breck & Fisher's stable, with Wm. Taylor trainer. Montana Wilk*&, five-year-old b g by Bed Wilkes, dam by Lumber, he by Eiricson. He is a tine looking brown stallion about 15£ hands, and Bhowa considerable speed. They have a two. year-old fillv, dam by Doncaster, he by Dictator, that Bhould make a good one this fall in the two-year-old stakes. Bay Dick, b g by Cummings — Julia Brady. P. B. C, b s, four years old by Maxim, dam by Mambrino King; Phillis, b m, five years old, by Doncaster ; Black Horse, five years oldf by Heard, 2:24|, dam by Mambrino Diamond. Barthol's Breaking Stable consists of five head of colts bred in Mon- tana. Alex. Lewis ia here from Portland with a chestnut mare by Clark Chief Jr. that he expects to do a trick with. She has no mark and can go some. Mr. J. W. Eogleman, of Danville, Ky., has ten in his string- Bradshaw, 2:26. b g Bis yeare olds, by Messenger Chief, dam by Gill's Vermont; second dam thoroughbred.

Montana Girl, bay, three years old, by Counsel, 2:24, dam the dam of Lady Dawn, 2:29}. The rest are youngsters, and yon will probably hear of them this fall. Mr. J. Stella has three, and there are more on the track who have not done much yet. There is to be a gentleman's road race on the 4th for $100 a corner, four entries, and it is causing a good deal of excite- ment, as all are very evenly matched. Goido, of the Cy Mulkey string, is very ill with pneumo- nia, and his chances of starting at Helena are very remote. Contractor, by Sultan, is a speedy trotter, and will make the horses in his class trot fast to beat him. A few days ago he was worked oat a mile in 2:25, and was well within himself. Jack E3gar, who is at present here, will, after the July meeting, train several youngaters for a gentleman by the name of Bradbury, who has a farm at Twin Bridges, Helena . Feeding and Weanine of Foals. Written for the Breeder and Sporisman. This is a subj ct that receives much less uttention than it merits. The English have a saying that "half a good horse goes down his throat." Tiere was never a truer saying. "What applies to the matured animal, applies with equal force to the foal, yearling, and two-year-old. Therefore remember that half a good colt goes down his throat'. Care should be taken to see that the mare gives a sufficient quan- tity of milk to render the colt's growth rapid and vigorous. In raising a colt that I intended for the track, I should feed the maro with that end in view from the time I was satisfied Bhe was with foal. The disposition of a foal can be mater- ially changed by the treatment the mare receives while carry- ing it. Always treat the mother kindly; pet her at all times; never be hasty with her, and never do anything calculated to frighten her or make her fear you. Weaning time is usually fixed at 5 or 6 months after the birth of the colt. It is my judgment that two weeks should be taken in weaning a colt properly. Let the colt suckle twice a day for five days; once a day for five days; and every other day for the remainder of the time. A colt should have a little feed box of its own, in which oats may be placed after the colt has reached the age of two mcnths. Boiled oats will probably be beBt for the first four or five months. Once in a while a mash composed of equal parts of bran and oats is much relished by the colt. When you wean a colt, never — when the oiroumstances will admit of doing anything else — take the colt abruptly away from the mare, and out of her sight and hearing. Firstly — Because if the mare iB a highly bred animal she will worry and fret, and if in a stable will act as if she were going to tear the baru down; whereas, if the colt be placed in a stall by her side, she will gradually get used to his absences from time to time, and will make but little demonstration when he iB removed. Secondly— Be- cause the colt will woik himself into a frenzy in the yard or paddock you take him to; will tramp up and down the fence for hours, liko a tiger in a cage; will not eat if feed be held to his lips, nor drink if water be constantly in sight. He will "fall off' 50 pounds before he makes op h s mind to submit to the inevitable, and it will take you several months to make up for your radical treatment. I am of course speaking of a highly bred colt. Thirdly— It is to your interest, to the mare's good, and to the colCa welfare that be be properly and quietly weaned. If the colt has had a sufficient quantity of oats up to the time of weaning, he will contine to grow without tven tem- porary cessation, as between oafs liberally fed, and cow's milk freely given, the latter will produce the largest growth. I b .ve fed them buth and am certain the milk will ensure moi'3 size than oats. I had a colt sired by a well known irr' ter, and whose mother is a finely bred little mare, about ha c trotting and half thoroughbred. She will weigh about H3u pounds, and is 15:1 hands. The colt's sire is 15:2 hands high. I continued the milk ration with this colt until he was 9 months old, when I 6old him. He is at this writing three years old, and is 16 hands high, and I have every reason to believe will reaoh 16* when fully matured, which is four inches higher than his aire, and five inches higher than his dam. He is at present the largest and best devel- oped colt by this same sire I know of, of his age, without reference to the size of the dam. He has been well cared for by his present owner. It is my impression that the first two years make the horse, you cannot neglect a colt with impunity. If he is made to "rostle" for himself; not housed in stormy weather, and reared without grain, you will find he has done most of his rustling at that time, for he won't rustle much on the track or road, after he comes to years of maturity. Growth lost the first year or two can never be regained, no matter how much you feed afterwards, or how Bolicitious your care. It is not to be wondered at that one sees so many little, hard looking horses throughout the raraldistriots. I will tell you how the average farmer raises horses. After the oolt is foaled It is turned out with the mare in the hills or meadow. It does well until weaned. We will say it was foaled in April. It is weaned about September, when feed is growing scarce. The mare is taken away and the colt begins to rnstle. Grase gets very short before the rains come, and before new gi-ass hBs grown sufficiently to have any substance to it. The colt runs out all winter and oltentimes haB a tough time to keep alive. Take a look at the colt the next April a year after it was foaled, you will see a colt about one half as large' as it ought to be, with a coat of hair like a mountain sheep and a general pinched appearance. It will look as if most of its growth had gone to tail and mane. You may breed a fine Colt, with parents of undoubted excellence, and if you treat it this way you will have reason to believe that the axiom "like begets like" is untrue. It takes as mnch work, as much attention to detail, as much care, as much study, as much knowledge and as much system to raise a trotting yearling properly, as it takes work, attention to detail, care, study, knowledge and system to make any other business a success. Carrots and pumpkins are good feed for colts. They supply the deBire for vegetable food which the colt craves. Salt should always be where a colt can get it. They will never eat too much notwithstanding all statements to the reverse made by cross-roads "hoss doctors." Salt is very purifyirjg and cooling to the blood. In case a grown horse has a bad wound, salt is a specific against fever, and one of the best of internal medicines. Alfalfa ia undeniably the best of all forage plants, and it seems almost imperative that the stock raiser have a field or two of it upon bis farm. It is a constant grower of very strong habit, and its roots will find water, if it be even twenty-five feet below the surface. In this country a good crop of hay can be harvested about the middle of May, and from that time until the rainy season it affords constant pasturage. As this time of the year comprises the warmest months, when feed upon the hills is sere and brown, the beautiful dark green foliage of alfalfa lookB indeed inviting, and is highly appreciated by all members of the equine family. Alfalfa hay, when properly cured, is a good provider for colt6 not in training — not for older horses, as it is loosen- ing in its tendency, and is in most cases too dusty. The green plant, however, is certainly entitled to the greatest consideration, when the rapid growth of young stock is the desideratum. This plant does not flourish in many placeB as it does in this State. It is impossible to raise alfalfa in the Eastern States on account of the extreme cold. Keotacky blue grass iB often Bpoken of as a great feed for youngsters, and I have seen it extolled in the most glowing manner. While it is a good forage grass, it is far inferior to alfalfa. To conclude thiB subject I have only to say that eight times out of ten, increased and careful feeding will result in pecuniary advantage to the owner, as well as the satisfaction he has of knowing that he has raised a fine looking young horse. There are some mountain ranches in thiB vicinity, where feed is luxuriant and abundant, and where the frost does not seem to strike. Upon these placeB, when the year is favorable, when rains come early, are warm when they do come, the grass gets an early start, and colts reared npon these ranches make almost as rapid a growth as those that are housed and 'ed. There are but few locations similar to the above, and even upon those ranches the conditions must be favorable to ensure success. Harvey W. Peck. Kentucky Bureoo. In a trip of the kind, one cannot help falling upon an amount of information which can hardly be called sporting news, but which might be of interest to sporting readers. For instance, I saw at a restaurant counter at Lexington race track a oard hung up bearing the inscription "Genuine Ken- tucky Burgoo. Now, I didn't know what genuine Kentucky burgoo waf, and I waB afraid to ask for any, because I didn't know whether you drank it with a straw or ate it with a fork. Later on I learned that the Kentucky burgoo is nothing ao ghastly and weird as its name would indicate, but ia a regu- lar institution of the great thoroughbred Rales of the large breeding farms. It is of the same purpose as tho barbecue, bnt differs from the latter in that it is a boil and not a roaBt. It is a boiled aggregation of meats, fowls, squirrels and vege- tables of all sorts. It is made in a kettle that will hold about 41111 gallons, and is served in cups. The real burgoo is not found except at the thoroughbred sales on the large farms, and I fear my friend of the restaurant did not tempt the knowing ones who live in that country.— Forest and Stream. Inbreeding. The question of inbreeding, sayB Mr. Parlin in the Culti- vator, still seems to perplex young breeders of trotting stock, judging from letters like the following, which we are con- stantly receiving from different parts of the country: — "Editor of the American Cultivator; Will you kindly advise me in regard to the propriety of mating a mare from a Mambrino Dudley stallion with a Mambrino Dudley stallion out of a different dam. Both are from standard stock. Do you think I would get as good results by breeding that way as from some other cross? Some advise me to do so, and say the more Mambrino the better. As I am ju6t beginning to breed a few I would like advice upon the subjeot. If there is any objection to breeding thiB way please advise how you would breed her." In reply to the above, so far as the mating of animals as nearly related as those mentioned is concerned, there is not the slightest objection, provided there waB no hereditary unsoundness or other obj ctionable qualities either in the common parent to which the stallion and mare are related or in Borne of their ancestors. If, however, either the dam of the mare or her sire or dam, crandsire or grandam had spavins, ringbones, navicular disease, or any other form of hereditary unsoundness, and the ('am of the stallion or her ancestors for two or three generations on either side were unsound from the same cause, it would not be advisable to mute them, eveo though both the mare and the stallion are perfectly free from the infirmity to all outward appearance. If the intention were to ask whether it would be advisable to inbreed the descendants of that particular stallion the reply would be, that :s a question which every breeder must decide upon bis own judgment. The prices which the get of Mam- brino Dndley brought at the late Kellogg sale show how they are valued by the general public. Every man who is breeding stock to sell mast keep a sharp eye on the public sales, as the prices received there are a pretty sure index of the varying popularity of certain fami- lies. It is much safer to base an estimate of the merit of any horse's get upon their success in actual turf contests, and the prices which they bring under the hammer, than upon arti- cles which appear in print even over the names of prominent writers. The most honest men are liable to err in judgment. Not long since a well known and highly entertaining writer, in giving an account of a certain trotter with a low record, extolled the superior road qualities of the animal. One who had known the horse for yearB read the flattering description, and after a hearty laugh remarked that so far as road quali- ties were concerned the horse in qaestion was the meanest one he ever sat behind. The man who wrote the article was honest, but erred in judgment, and parties who based their estimate of the animal's merits as a roadster upon the article in qneBtion were liable to err. The watch and the hammer, however, can generally be relied upon. Fashion in trotting stock is constantly fluctuating. The family which stands highest in popular esteem to-day may be greatly overshadowed by some other family a few years hence. EVr this reason the young breeder should guard against be- coming wedded, so to speak, to any one family of trotters. The breeder who has the best jadgment and keeps the best posted by the records will be the first to detect the coming trotting sire or family, and will be likely to have a little of that stock to sell when the tidal wave arrives. Where a man ia raising only a few animals "for his own use or amusement, without regard to profit, he can select animals whose blood lit es please his own fancy, jnst as the dairyman who makes butter only for his own table, can salt and flavor it to suit his own palate. The man who makes batter to sell and hopes to realize the highest market price, however, must be governed by the palates of those who are willing to pay fancy prices. Just so with the breeder of trotters who Joes not care to de- velop his own stock. If he wishes to obtain the highest prices at public or private sale, he most not only aim to raise first-class animals, but he must be careful to secure such as are bred in fashionable lines. The fashion is set by the success of the members of any particular family upen the turf, instead of newspaper articles or opinions of prejudiced individuals as some appear to be- lieve. Within three years a horseman of considerable note remaiked to us that Nutwood was a failure as a eire of trot ters This man, tboogh fairly well posted, had not studied the records carefully. He has heard somebody make the re- mark whose judgment he supposed good, and he accepted it as a fact. Since then Nutwood has been Bold at auction for $22,000. His book is now full at $500 this season, and he haB twenty-five representatives in the 2:30 list, six of which have reoorda of 2:20 or better. Id fact, his 2:30 list exceeds the combined list of any other three grandsons of Alexander's Abdallah. Only a few years ago the Clay strain was so unfashionable that a promient Kentucky breeder remarked to an Eastern horseman that he wished he had not an animal on hia farm which had the Clay cross. To-day the records show that the two fastest yearling trotters ever raised, Norlaiue, 2:31-*, and Sadie D., 2:35f, the fastest two-year-old trotter, Sunol, 2;1S, the fastest two-year-old trotting stallion, Axtell, 2:23, the fastest three-year-old trotter, Sable Wilkes, 2:18, the faatett four-year-old trotter, Manzanita, 2:16, the fastest trotter to wagon, Hopeful, 2:16J, the greatest trotting Htallion yet pro- duced, jodged by his 2:30 performers, George Wilkes, 2:22, the greatest trotting brood mare yet bought to light, Green Mountain Maid, with seven sons and daughters in the 2:30 list, the only two trottiog stallions that were oversold for $50,000 apiece, Stamboul, 2:14^, and Bell Boy, 2:291. P"ce $51,000, and the only two-year-old trotting stallion that ever passed under the auctioneer's hammer at a bid of $26,000, all possess the once despiBtd Clay cross. This goes to prove as stated that fashion in trotting stock is liable to sudden and radical changeB, hence the breeder who wishes to get top prices mnBt keep sharp watch of the records and auction sales, and study the blood lines of those which win the bisgest nurses on the turf and the biggest bids when on the block. As to inbreeding numerous examples of success both upon the running and trotting turf were mentioned in these col- umns a short time since. Butterfly. 2:19$, and Ejgle Bird, 2:21, were by sons of George Wilkes, and their dam. Tansy, was also a daoghter of George Wilkes. Clingstone, 2:14, the fastest trotter ever raised in New England, and as game a one as ever took the word, was by Rysdvk, son of Rysdyk'sHam- bletonian; dam by Chosroes, another son of the old Hero of Chester. F&vouia, 2:15, waa by Wedgewood, 2:19, son of Belmont, by Alexander's Abdallah. The dam of Favonia was Fndette by Alexander's Abdallah. The pacer, King Jim, 2:204, waB by Belmont; dam Maud by Alexander's Abdallah. Sally Cossack (foor-year-old record 2:22') which is nearly four seconds faster than any other of her sire's get, was by Don Cossack, out of Almonia, and Almonia was by Almont, Bon of Alexander's Abdallah, out of Roaina, by Alexander's Abdullah. The dam of Sally CoBseck'e sire was also by Alex- 1889 3P*£ gmte ami jiprntstuatx. b ander's Abdallah, making her very closely inbred to that dis- tinguished son of Rvsdyk's Hambletonian. These are only a lew of the many instances that might be named, to say nuthing of The Moor, sire of Sultan, 2:24, nor of Ida Belle, 2:23, both of which resulted from incestuous breeding, mating a mare with her own son. Daniel Lambert waR by Ethan Allen, son of Vermont Black Hawk. He has now at least thirty-three sons and daughters in the 2:30 list, and eighteen of the number, including his fastest, Comee, 2:19J, were from mares which trace directly through their sires >o Vermont Black Hawk. Abraham, by Daniel Lambert, now has eight in the 2:30 list. The dam of Abraham was Folly Cook by Vermont Black Hawk, and seven of the eight 2:30 performers got by Abraham, including Frank, 2:194,, were from Black Hawk mares. The eighth waB also from a mare"of Morgan descent. Some of the most intelligent, enterprising trotting-borse breedeis, in seeking an out-cross, aim to secure an animal whicii has some remote kindred strain to the animals selected for mating. When Gen. Withers wished to get the Black Hawk strain a few years since as an out-cross for his Ham- bietonian-Mambrino Chief stock, he decided to purchase Daniel Lambert; first, because he had proved himself the most successful sire of speed that had ever come from the Black Hawk family, and second, because his dam, Fanny Cook, was by Old Abdallah, sire of Rysdyk's HambletoniaD. Failing to get Daniel Lambert, the General bought Wood- ward's Ethan Allen, Lambert's full brother. Both Abdallah and Mambrino Chief spraDg from Mambrino, son of imported Messenger, so that, though mating Woodward's Ethan Allen with his Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief mares gave him the Black Hawk out-cross, yet it reunited the diverging Mes- senger streams. Young breeders can gain many valuable poiats by conversing with and closely watching the course of experienced breeders who have made a success of the busi- ness. The Hag-gin Sale. As a matter of record, we give below the prices paid for most of the yearliDgs sold by J. B. Haggin in New York last Monday.

Its fame as a winter and summer resort is renowned, for its climate is unexcelled and the grandeur and eloquence of the surrounding scenery is inimitable. The grana old Mission that watches on the quaint city as it slamberB in unmolested sleep, is the best preserved one in the State and the only mission in possession of the Franciscian friars. This beantiiul little city ot fifteen thousand inhabitants is well protected by the high Coast Range mountains in the north and west, and the mighty winds that sweep on the great ocean and arouse it to sudden and imminent wrath, never reach this city, for the islands that rise out of the sea, thirty miles from here, check the storm, and when it reaches us it is a mild briny breeze that comes to end the rays of the sun. It is true that the quaintness of the Presideo— as it was called forty years ago— is disappearing. The old adobe mansions, whose roofs were covered with "Texas," are rapidly dis- appearing, but the eye welcomes on all sides elegant and substantial business houses made of blue sandstone, and handsome dwellings of modern architecture. The Spanish element is dying out and the Americans are taking possession of the city and of the immense cattle and sheep ranches of the county. The old time sports of Santa Barbara are either too old or too indolent to take part in sporting affairs. There is one old Spaniard still living who tells of the wonderful speed of old time horses here. He is so old and visionary that it is not safe to repeat his reminiscences. He tells of a race run in this city in 1851. The distance was "euatro cientas varas" {400 yards). The parties who made the race bet one thousand steers. He says that those little horses flew through the air. The horseBof to-day, he says, would not have started ere their wonderful steeds were at the ena of the race. The old gentleman waB also a rooster trainre, and old as he is, you will often see him with a game cock under his arm. Racing in Santa Barbara goes by spurts, but now that the city has grown so rapidly and every man of means is intro- ducing fine bred horses and mares, Santa Barbara promises to be a great racing centre. The winter months are so mild that horses from the East will winter here, when the good people of the cold winter States find our mild winter and fast track. The Agricultural Park of Santa Barbara has a fast, substantial and well protected mile track. The stalls are large and substantial. The high fence that surrounds the track is made of white fine fence lumber, and the spaeious and improving pavilion that is outside the track is an elegant building. The Fall races will begin Oct. 1st and will last four days. The purses are liberal, and there are many horses in training, so that the meeting will surely be a success. The stallion race, purse $300 for trotters,will be a most inter- esting one, for there will be at least six stallions to start, and the owner of each is certain that he will carry off the honors. Gns Walters, the favorite Los Angelestrainer, has moved to Santa Barbara, and will permanently locate here. He has in his string some very promising horses. For the stallion race he has in training Don Patricio, a five-year-old stallion sired by A. W. Richmond, dam by Kentucky Hunter. Don Patricio is a grey, standing nearly sixteen hands, very speedy and pro- mising to be a great colt. When he was two years old, and with two weeks training, he trotted two heats on a half mile traok better than three minutes. He has a clean, open »ait, is level headed and understands and obeys his kind master. Barring accidents he will make his rivals trot much better thaD 2:30. He also has in training a Nutwood pacer called Glenwood, his granddam is Lady Washington, and ajmost promising two-year-old bay horse Maben, sired by Grandee. This colt is owned by L. J. Rose Jr., and the lit- tle horse can trot well and does it bravely. Mr. Walters has alBo a tine three-year-old chestnut colt sired by Judge Salis- bury, dam untraced. This colt, James T. Hope, of San Francisco, purchased for $1500. The watcheB of many sports here indicate that this colt can trot better than 2:30. Gns Walter's string all look well and he haB all that he can do. We wish him success and we are certain that Santa Barbara will protect him, for all believe that he is a conscientious trainer, that he will be true to his horse, and faithful to its owner. If a trainer have merit, art and judgment, and is true to the principle, that honesty is the Lest policy, he is certain of success. Racing in Santa Barbara has, in the past been very unpopular, and all because fourth rate trainers and jockeys here come here, and horses have been run fir little money, and consequently regardless of the best horse. We have great hopes of thiB Fall meeting. We have here now, first rate trainers and drivers, and we are confident that in the future, the beBt horse and the cleverest trainer wiil win. Once we have the confidence of the people, then the gate re- ce;pts will warrant more liberal purses. Pete Doyle, who has been in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties since ,86, has been very successful as a trainer and driver. Looking over the books of the Santa Barbara Agri- cultural Park, I find that he has the following record: In '8b' he started in seven races; he won six, and was third in one. In '87 he started in four, aud won thiee and second in one. In '88 he started in Bix, and won siT. In '89 he started in six, won three, and was second in three. He has in the string some promising geldings and mares. He will have for the stallion race a bay seven year old, -ired by Algoona, and his dam is sired by Gen. Tuylor. He has a record of .48, and that with little or no traiuing. Pete thinks that the bay stallion will surely trot low in the twenties by this fall. Dojle also has a promising two-year-old sired by Cashmere, be by Sultan, nam out of a mare by Trustee. This colt is speedy and kindly disposed. He has a long string of tine burses, and will have many more in a few days. Some of the horses that we know are the following: — Two-year-old colt by Monroe Chief, dum Eva P. by Ben Wade. A three-year-old stallion, grandson of Electioneer. A two-year-old bay colt, full brother to Flora G., by Altoota out of a mare by Conway's Patchen. He has a tine. iaod| bay colt by Darbnnd, dam by Max, he by Echo. Also^B roan mare that with little training has trotted in .35. She is by A. W. Richmond. Henry Delany has in training a big handsome bay stal- lion four years old, sired by Bashaw, he by Wapsie. Mr. Lawrence of this city paid fifteen hundred dollars for this grand horse two months ago. He trotted three beats better than .35 when Mr. Lawrence bought him. is a most promising one. Mr. Delany has also in Rosewald, by A. W. Richmond, dam by Chrichton. Santa Barbara, July I, 1S89. 2Prje %xtz&zt awtl jlportsmatu July 6 Horseback Riding and its Relation to Health. BY DAVID M. PATTERSON, M. D. "If your ramble w*a oil horseback, 1 am glad of it, on account of your jiealth.— Swift. One of the biographers of General Grant, in referring to his great love for a horse, has said: "The horse is a noble animal, and it is by no means remarkable that a bond of sympathy has been established between great men and good horses*" It is also to this same illustrious "silent man" that the llev. W. H. H. Murray dedicated his most interest- ing and instructive work, entitled "The Perfect Horse." I trust that it is not inappropriate to here briefly refer to the horse of antiquity, whose history is always both inter- esting and instructive. Tradition teaches us that the earliest use made of the horse by man was not for work or pleasure, but only for food. As man gained in intellect and knowledge, the same progressive spirit which in these days has led him to utlilize steam and electricity as motive power in place of the stage ooach of our forefathers was shown in those primitive times, and it was but natural that he should look for the needed assistance among the lower animals about him. There is every evidence, however, that the horse was not his first selection. Other animals, such as the goat, the sheep, the ox, the ass and the camel, either on account of their lesser size or slower movements, were first tried as beasts of bur- den and locomotion. Doubtless a long period elapsed before man acquired suffi- cient courage and ingenuity to capture and bring under subjection an animal possessing the strength of muscular power* and the swiftness of foot, combined with the spirit and intelligence which have always been prominent charac- teristics of the horse — an animal designated by a kind and wise Providence esriecially for the use of man and for the benefit of the human race. The primitive home of the horse is now definitely located as being thnt portion of the country lying between the'/Tigris and the Euphrates in Mesopotomia, this being the place where every living creature, both man and beast, was col- lected tgether after the Flood. It was an easy matter for the horse to be taken from there into Egypt, where he is often alluded to in the Book of Genesis At the time of Joseph's reign in Egypt we find the horse frequently men- tioned, and there is no doubt that the value of this animal for domes tic and cavalry service was at that time clearly established. All through the Old Testament frequent reference is made to the use of horses in the service of warriors, kiugs and prophets. Habakkuk says of the horses of the Chaldeans that "they are swifter than the leopards, and more fierce tban the evening wolves," and to Job is given the honor of having produced the greatest word painting of this noble animal to be anywhere found in sacred history. It is not difficult to trace the journey ings of the horse af- ter leaving Egypt, and Persia, and Taiiary and Greece, and finally, into Thessaly, "the people of which, like the Mexi- cans of modern times, conceived the horse and driver to be one, giving rise to the fable of the centaurs, double shaped and incomprenensible." The history of Rome is the history of horsemanship, the Romans finally surpassing their teachers, the Greeks, in daring feats of the arena, and the attachment of this warlike people for the horse has loDg since been recorded as history. The love and high appreciation of the horse have inspired the poets in all ages to sing of his courage, docility and fleetness. Byron has happily described the action of a herd that had been surprised by the arrival of Mazeppa and his fainting charger on their pastures: They stop— they start-they snuff the air, Gall >p a moment here and there. Approach, retire, wheel round and round, Then plunging hack with sudden bound, Headed by one black mighty ateed. Who seemed the patriarch of his breed, Without a single speck of hair Of white upon his shaggy hide; They snort- they foam, neigh -awerve asida, and backward to the forest fly, By Instinct, from a human cry. There is no doubt but that Virgil's description of the white Thracian steeds of Turnus can with equal truth be applied to the white horses of ancient Cappadocia: He calls for his steeds an-l exalts to see them neighing in his pres- ence- Steeds which Orithyia herself gave as a royal present to Pilumnus; In whiteness surpassing the snow — the winds in speed. The officious groomB stand [around and with their hollow hands Clap their slorked cheats and comb their waving manea. It is well kuown that the color has often influenced the the price of the animal, as we recall the well-known rhyme: One white foot — buy a horso; Two white feei— try a horse; Three white feet-look well about him; Four white feet— go without him. Turning now to our own country, it may be stated that the horse of America is a modern importation. It is doubt- ed by standard authorities on this subject whether the Nor- wegian discovers of Newfoundland and various parts of North America during the tenth and eleventh centuries left horses behind them or not, and it is generally conceded that it was uot until the time of Cortez and Pizarro that the horse gained a fair footing in the New World. Cortez and Pizarro carried the horse into Mexico and Peru, respective- ly, while Brazil is indebted to the Portugese, and H»yti to the second voyage of Columbus (1493), for the introduction of the horse upon their shorea. From these early importa- tions horses have rapidly mtBfeplicd in 'number, until now it is estimated that in the United States alone there are near- ly eight million, representing a monetary value of about S2, 000, 000,000 and $3,000,0000,000. These comprise every grade of condition, from the magnificent thorougbreds which command fabulous prices down to* the cheapest aud sorest cart horses which do the drudge work in our city ets and the hardest plough work on our country farms, ill in a as high as $75,000 have been paid for celebrated trot- fflers, and even $10,000 aud $15,000 have been refused for /|ome by their fortunate owners. J The importance of horseback riding as a i ful recreation cannot be too highly estima b, ti i,. means of health- highly estimated, and it is to ie regretted that the bicycle and tricycle have in some sec- ons of our .country been allowed to supercede this most irdgorating exercise. Certainly for all, both men aud women, who are closely confined within doors by sedentary pursuits there is no form of exercise which imparts tone and liergy to the whole physical system and at the same time ;ives such a wild range of mental enjoyment us horseback ding. In order to obtain the best possible results from this kind of exercise a few things are essential. One is thai the rider must have, at least in some degree, an affection for a horse; without this, much of the pleasure and be .efit derived from riding pre lost. To some this love for a horse is spontan- eous and natural; to others it is acquired. Some men, and women, too, are natural born riders. General Grant may be mentioned as belonging to this class, some of his early exhibition feats of horsemanship having now become almost proverbial. To such men as he aud others like him, it is only necessary to place them in a saddle and they at once become good riders. Special care should be taken in the right selection of a horse. All horses are not adapted for the saddle any more than are all men good riders, and both the safety an 1 com- fort of the rider depend upon a wise choice. S imeone has said that the false distribution of the weight to be carried is a more prolific cause of poor riding than any other one thing A horse is let from the stable one day to a man weighing 130 pounds, the next day to one weighing over one hundred and seventy, and on the third day to a lady of not over a hundredweight. It is such treatment as this that will soon spoil the best of horses. Next in importance is the proper adjustment of the saddle and bridle. Unfortunately this is too ofteu overlooked. The saddle should be of a size adapted for the form and build of the horse. It should also be adjusted to fit the s<-.at and legs of the rider; the weight should be so placed as to press equally over the whole under surface of the saddle, especial care being given to the position and length of the stirrups. Many horses that are in everyway adapted for use in the saddle have been spoiled because of the use of bits that were unsuited to their mouths. The mouth of the horse is one of the most sensitive parts of his anatomy, and any abuse of that organ, either by the use of an improper bit or its bad management, will surely be followed with un- pleasant results. If any one thinks that these minutiae are unimportant it may be well to recall to mind that at one time the French cavalry had 10,206 horses, and that after less than one mouth's marching, not more than 3,500 of that number were really fit for service, the remainder hav- ing "been rendered unserviceable by the saddle and other portions of the equipment." With tbese few suggestions properly attended to, together with such others as may be prompted by experience, a five or ten mile ride on a clear summer morning cannot fail to prove an unestihiable bless- ing. Doubtless much of this benefit is due to the magnetism which the rider receives from his horse as he rushes along. "The horse is a regular battery for the generation of animal electricity." Mounted on a horse, a man cannot help feeling that he is a little better favored than the one who walks. He knows that he can go faster, and consequently for the time being he is master of the situation. There is also a feeling of healthful exhilaration which is very stimulating to both a man's physical and mental forces. "He has for the time a kind of ideal, not actual, being, and rides the horse as the poet ridts his Pegasus " The inorn oue rides and becomes familiar with the nature and the habits of his steed, the better he recognizes the strength and power of this DOble animal. These in turn are imparted to the rider through the powerful agency of magnetism, and this mag- netic i nnuence is a powerful aid in recuperating and sustain- ing the natural forces of our being. One of the essential benefits to be derived from horseback riding lies in the fact that, physiologically speaking, the effects of this kind of exercise reach every function of the body, and, as each one is more or less affected by the other, a general good effect upon the whole body is obtained. If one organ or its function is deranged, the overplus energy which is given to the well organs is in turn bestowed upon that part which, so to speak, is below par. Not only to a well man is horseback riding a source of pleasure and recreation, but to the invalid, whether suffer- ing from mental or physical ailment, this kind of exercise, if wisely employed, may prove of great value. That it can aid in establishing the health of one who is broken down by overstudy, excessive clerical labor, or from the perplexing and burdensome cares of business, has .long since been clearly demonstrated. In the early stages of consumption, general debility and insomnia, together with certain kinds of muscular and nervous affectations, horseback riding is strongly recommended by our highest medical authorities. The wise for cure on exercise depend. God never mad-e bis work for man to mend. The modus operandi of this kind of cure may briefly be stated as follows: In the first place, this kind of exercise is entirely different from any other, and in one sense it is never on two occasions exactly the same. It is oifflcult to explain this on paper, but every rider knows it to be true. The very nature of this exercise at once takes a man out of himself. The fact of his being seated in the saddle with the bridle rein in his hand engages the attention of his mind, and his thoughts are at once turned in a new direction. He forgets his troubles, whether real or imaginary, something new each day occupies his time and attention, while the horse is doing the work and he is taking the exercise. Again, this form of exercise in its direct influence upon disease, is deserving of special notice. This is doubtless due, in a large measure, to the power of equalization of the vital forces and their consequent influence upon every nerve and muscle in the body. Take, for example, the two antag- onistic diseases known as plethora and anaemia, the one being that condition where the blood is too rich in quality and too much in quantity, causing distention of the capil- laries, a turgid condition of the veins and obesity; the other where the blood is poor and thin in quality and but little of it. For the first disease, horseback riding, if judiciously practiced for some time, will tend toward reducing both the amount and unhealthy state of the blood, in the same way that mountain climbing, running, etc., will obviate a ten- dency to excessive corpulency. As one writer has remarked: "When in a young girl this tendency to the development of an excessive amount of fat discloses itself, the proper remedy is horseback exercise aud moderation in diet. This is the true specific against embonpoint — not acidulated drink or substances which, destroying the health, remove uot only the fat, but at the same time all pretentions to beauty." It may be clearly asserted that there is no form of exercise which ful tills more completely the above indications than horseback riding. The characteristics of the second disease, anromia, are either a diminualiou of the quantity of the blood or a change in its character, in which it is poor and watery. Such a condition gives rise to a pale, colorless face, languiriness and general debility. For snob a slate of the system horseb ok riding stands first in I he list of hygienic measures which slioul I be adopted for the toning up of the system, the en- riching both the quality and character of the blood, as well as clucking the progress of the disease, which, if allowed to continue, must so ncr or later be followed with serious re- sults. Some diseases of the nervous system, namely, hypochon- driasis, hysteria, chorea and other similar affections of the brain and spinal chord, are specially amendable to this form Ol exercise and are usually attended with the best results. It is necessary, however, that the rides be short and that an easy-gaited horse be chosen. A.s a rule the rides should be taken in the early morning, and the exercise should never be prolonged so as to induce fatigue. Insomnia is another wearisome affectation of the brain and nervous system for which daily horseback riding is advocated by our highest medical authorities. There are several cases on record of noted divines and others who have been completely cured of their inability to sleep nights by daily horseback riding, faithfully continued for weeks or even months. Probably there is no one disease for which, in its early stages, horseback riding is so beneficial as that of consump- tion. So well known and popular has this fact become that in a number of instances the theory has been woven with wonderful ingenuity into the "plot" of several standard society novels of the day. It is very often that this exercise is begun iu a most sim- ple manner, the patient sitting on a horse which is led by a groom at a slow wtdking pace. Gradually, as the patient improves and gets a little stronger, the hectic flush of the afternoon gives place to the bloom on the cheek in the morn- ing, the expansion of the chest grows larger and the muscles of the body develop in strength and size, the appetite im- proves, the cough grows less, the night sweats disappear; health and vigor are once more restored. Many a man who now enjoys a good digestion, a sound night's sleep and a robust, healthy constitution owes his deliverance from the bondage of sickness and disease to the dady exercise on horseback. It is related of the late Rev. Dr. Cutler, of Brooklyn, that when a feeble young man he fully recovered his health by riding from Portland to Savan- nah, and that his valuable liie was prolonged to old age by this almost daily exercise. It is an old aud trite saying that "public health is public wealth." This is true whether we consider man as an indi- vidual or associate him collectively in the mass of humani- ty. Suppose a mau of large means and possessed of flue business capacity suddenly deprived of health, how long will it take to convince him that his best capital is embar- rassed and his most brilliant efforts crippled? Now, in nearly every vocation iu life there are to betound those who are not succeeding as they wish — not because of some local or organic disease, but simply because there is a low state of vitality and an enervated condition of both their physical and menial systems. To prevent the increase of such tendencies, if they already exist, and to restore the body to a normal, healthy condi- tion, and to keep it so after recovery, there is no tetter form of exercise known to medical science than horseback riding, As Dr. Holmes has quaintly yet truly remarked, "the out- side of a horse is good for the inside of a mau. The improve- ment in digestionand assimilation is at once recognized. No man ever swung himself off' h s saddle after a ten-mile ride without feeling th-tt he was hungry. And as many a disease can be conquered by transferring the battle g ound from the sick room to the saddle, so the earliest approach of disease can ofteo be prevented and good health preserved by daily exercise on horseback Another important feature of this kind of exercise is that horseback riding must of necessity be indu ged in away from the crowded thoroughfares of the city. Out into the country we must go, find no sooner do we leave the dusty, noisy streets behind us and strike out into the clear and open country tlan the beauties of "nature burst upon our vision. The plainest scene puts on its bright apparel as the sun touches it with its golden brush. Soon the horse breaks from a trot into a canter, which is the most pleasant and natural of all the paces when prop- erly performed by the horse and rider. The speed is not great, the best pacing of the horse should not exceed ten or twelve miles an hour, which will ensure for the rider the best physical results. There can be no dullness in horse- back riding; every turn in the roai and every mile that is traveled bring in view new sights and discoveries. This soon awakens in the mind a constant expectancy of new pleasures, which in turn impart to the current of life an ouward impulse that seems to react on the mind as on every function of the automatic organism. A little experience and observation will soon surprise us as to the amount of physical recuperation which this kind of exercise produces upon the different organs of the body. As the rider rushes along, every nerve thrills with pleasure and healthful exhilaration; the lungs take in to their utmost oapacity th<-ir full quota of air which is loaded with the pur- est oxygen and enriched with the sweet perfrme of flowers; while the heart is quickened and strengthened in its action, forcing the enriched and purified blood to the most distanc and minutest capillaries of the body, and the pulses are found to be beating as even and regular as the time piece in your pocket. The very nature of horseback riding tends to strengthen the ninscl s of the back, legs and arms; the grip of the hand is firm, the eye is steady, and the ear is quick to detect every souud as well as to listen to the chorus of birds whose songs make one divine harmony Not only to the physical part of our being is horseback riding of practical benefit, but to the mental and moral side of -our nature this kind of exercise is one of inestimable value. The wear and tear of the brain in these busy times of the nineteenth century cannot well be avoided. The oue repre- sents the natural and legitimate result of lawful use and is what every one must suhmit to; the other comes of hard usage and abuse, the nervous system, unsettled by the mental strain, brings about various defects in nutrition; the appetite fails and then we meet with sleepless- ness, the dyspepsia, the irresolution, irritability aud depression which are the chief miseries of the overworked. For these various and oftentimes complicated troubles horse- back riding affords prompt and effectual deliverance. It is next to an impossibility to carry your business cares and perplexities along with you in the saddle. While riding iu a carriage or walking it is an easy nutter to think over busi- ness or to "talk shop" with the companion at your side; but when seited on a horse, and the animal is in motion, something else must and will occupy your thoughts. Con- centrated mental calculations are not in order while riding horseback. The brain needs just such recreation and stimulant as can be furnished by horseback riding; the motion of the body as the rider and horse move along has a quieting influence on that organ. In no better way can the brain become clear and receive into its every portion the renovating properties of rich, healthy blood than by such exercise. Anxiety gives place to contentment, and hope and courage again take the place of doubt and despondency. That horseback riding is coudncive to the elevation of good morals and the development of the "small, sweet cour- tesies of life" is evident to even the rrost casual observer. The exercise imparts a healthy tone of mind and spirit, together with a manliness and simplicity of manners. It is very rare to find a good horseman who is churlish and lack- ing in that delicate and instinctive appreciation of the feel- 1889 *Q\xt ^reciter and jiportsmatt. ings of others. Horseback riding begets in the rider a love for his horse, which he shows l.y many acts of kindness toward his faithful steed; that the horse not only under- stands but appreciates this thoughtful care on the part of his master cannot be denied. And there is scarcely any opportunity more favorable for the constant thoughtfulness and watchful care by a gentleman for a lady than when he acts as her escort on horseback. It is while on horseback that a man will show his power of will, his courage and ability to meet and master emergencies which accident will often force upon him. Horseback riding develops a cool demeanor and a steady, resolute will, and the^e are best obtained from worship at the shrine of nature. These, with nature's tonics of purest air, clearest skies and plenty of sunshine, will give healthei appetites, richer blood, steadier nerves, stronger muscles and a clearer brain. Not the 'wilderiog walz in the ballroom's blaze, Nor the chivalrous joust, nor the daring race, Nor the ewift regatta, nor merry Chase, Nor tho sail high heaving waters o'er, Nor the rural dance on the moonlit shore, Can the wild and fearless joy exceed Of a fearless ride on a fiery steed. — Outing.

Mr. Joseph Cairn Simpson ably jjj leconded the efforts of Mr. Page, and it is to them that the aH iredit is due for the excellence of the organization which is -:•■ low before the public, catering for patronage, with a pro- ?T ;ramme that is second to none in the country. i An argent invitation having been extended by the pro- nto jrietor of the Rancho Cotate to visit the home of Mortimer ?t 2:27) and Eclectic, advantage was taken of the opportunity, :> md a seat being vacant in the buggy we were soon speeding iway behind a good roadster in the direotion of the farm. ■' * There are many beautiful drives in various sections of Cal- Le fornia, but it would he hard to beat the one from Petalnma J o Rancho Cotate on a beautiful summer afternoon, the great gIj ields of hay, wheat, barley and mammoth vineyards stretch- ]"> ng to the Sonoma mountains on the East, while the same 7 san be seen to the westward extending to the low range of !i soaBt bills, which is the protection against heavy fogs for this :!■ 3eaven-blest country. Here and there are noticed the com- [>! ortable farm-houses, indicative of the prosperous farmer, ■ "" *hile herds of fine cattle are frequently seen browsing on the lit jative grasses, with which the side hills are covered so ■i .bundantly . We only leave the Petaluma Valley to enter the ^ me uamed after Santa Rosa, and again a grand panoramic "4 new is presented to the eye, many thousands of acres, all in n i high state of cultivation, being constantly presented, each urn in the road bringing a different kaleidoscopic view to the 1 writer who was making the trip for the first time. A short 1 jistory of the Rancho was given by my entertaining com- a janion, as we whiled away the passing minutes, and from him c- ' learned that Dr. Page (the father of Wilfred) bought ^ 'Cotate** in 1849 from Mr. Larkin, the estate containing '-', ibout 17,000 acres, the price paid being one dollar per acre- :. it was not until the beginning of the "sixties" that the Doc- r ,or left South America, to look at the land which he had S xmght "(insight unseen," and which far exceeded his expec- Q ations. It is less than twenty years ago since the family p ;ame to California to settle, but in the interim great herdB of J *attle have been raised and sold, each new purchase of graded " yullfl exceeding in quality those previously bought, until now ;ome of the best-bred cattle in the State are annually sold rom the Rancho Cotate. The same attention was paid to ;he flocks of sheep, a gradual improvement going on from year to year. Horses had never entered much into the cal- mlations of Dr. Page, but on his Bon assuming the manage- ment of the estate a careful inspection waB made to discover, f possible the best class of carriage horses necessary for the •eneral market. The more the matter was gone into, the nore clearly did Mr. Wilfred Page learn that the highest type if the trotter was the very best carriage horse for the open narket, with the chances in favor of the intelligent breeder ■ettiDg at times an animal of rare value among the many that vould be bred on a place of the proportion that he ultimately lesires to have. With this idea firmly implanted in his tiicd, the nest step was to secure a stallion second to none. 3e sent to a large number of breeding farms for catalogues, tud finally selected from the printed statements sent him two if which he thought either would suit; so a trip was taken to Palo Alto to make a final decision. Horses of all sorts, sizes tnd conditions were shown him, but the two he had picked mt seemed better than any of the others, so it ended in Mr. Page buying both Mortimer and Eclectic. But here we are at the stables, and the history must be leferred until later, as Mrs. Page and four little ones are tnxiouBly awaiting on the stoop of the large mansion to welcome papa back from town. Introductions and a cordial eception followed, making the writer feel perfectly at home .vithin a moment or two. During a pleasant evening the itory of Mr. Page's was resumed. After obtaining possession of the two stallions the next itep was to secure the proper kind of mares to cross with the Electioneer blood. In this all important matter due care and lonsideratiou was paid to the teachings of tnose who had I teen in the business for years. Last year Electic was too \ 'oung to do stud duty, and Mortimer was only given a few nares, as his owner wanted to give him a record. Admont by Piedmont dam Addie was the chief of the harem in 1888, and ■ight royal marks has he left as to his prodactive powers. As t appro iched the "wee sma hours" we were still talking lorse, I the attentive listener, and my host doing most of ;he talking, something I was very willing to submit to, for .here are few better posted men on pedigrees in the State ;han Wilfred Page, the descendants of Nutwood being one of Mb best themes, something that few Californians can talk j intelligently about, owing to the loose manner in which that ireat stallion's book was kept while doing stud service on ; the coast. When good-night was said I almost wished it was oiorniDg, that the conversation might be renewed, for I had passed an agreeable evening and learned a great deal from cny well informed host. An early brpakfa-t, and away we were, to inspect the brood marts and see the Hub ones by their sides. It WQU.W tftka altogether more space than can be spared to. go into the beauties of each individual, but the following will give a fair idea of the stock now on hand, simply as a nucleus to what I hope may some day be one of the principal breeding farms in the State. Belle S. is a two-year old by Anteeo, dam by Grey McClel- lan, he by Gen. McClellan. Belle is only a- new comer to the ranch, and too young to show produce. Adaline, eight years old. b m, by Ethan Clay, he by Henry Clay 507, dam Fleety (full sister to Alert, 2:24£) by Ensign 2:28$. Has yearling, bay filly, Hesperine by Hesperian 3203". Bellasa, six years old, by Elector, 2:21}, he by Electioneer, dam by a son of California Smuggler, out of Snsie Clifton by Werner's Rattler. Filly foal at side by Guy WilkeB. Carrie, eight years old, br m, by Mohawk Chief, dam Xellie by Ben Franklin. Filly foal of 1889, is Mohadma by Admont 5349, by Piedmont, 2:17J, dam Addie, the dam of Woodnut, 2:16$, and Manon, 2:21. Carrie has a yearling filly called Mohair by Mambrino Wilkes, sire of Gua Wilkes. Clara B., eight years old, b m, by Nutwood 600 (2:18^), dam Jennie by Roadhonse's St. Lawrence. Her produce is a black filly Reinette, three years old, also owned by Mr. Page, her Bire being Dexter Prince by Kentucky Prince, sire of Guy, 2:12, and ten others iu the 2:30 list. The dam of Dexter Prince is Lady Dexter, fall sister to Dexter, 2:17^, and Dic- tator, the sire of Jay-Eye-See, 2:10, and Director, 2:17. Eve, b m, by Arthurton 265, sire of Arab, 2:15, dam Old Lady by David Hill Jr. Halloween, ten years old, b m by Satellite 2500, damLorena (dam of Valient, 2:28$), by Volunteer, sire of St. Julien, 2:11}, etc. Halloween has a bay filly at her side by Admont 5349. Ida Walker, sixteen years old, ch m, by Curtis' Hamil- tonian 539, who has four in the 2:30 list, dam by B=rthuue. sire of Sidi-Hamet. Her last year's colt was Bold at the New York combination sale for $1,100. Her present foal is a black horse colt by Sable Wilkes. Lorilee, six years old, b m, by Glasgow, son of MarkBman (sire of Misty Morning, 2:21), dam Zanobia by Rysdyk's Hambletonian 10. Lorilee is a bay horse colt by Admont 5349. This colt is a magnificent youngster, and would draw admiration from the veriest novice in horse rl-sh. It is no wonder that he is such a fine one, as his blood lints are o^ the best.

Maldita is the dam of a sucking bay colt by Admont 5349. Minnie Allen, 8 years old, ch m by Arthurton 365, dam Lady Allen, (a full BiBter to the dam of Sweetbriar 2:26*) by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31. A bay filly by Le Grande 2868, is running at the side of Minnie Allen. Sallie, 9 years old, b m by Mohawk Chief, dam Bonnie- Sallie has a bay filly by Admont 5349. Sunny Slope Belle, black mare, by the Moor 870, sire of Beautiful Bells 2:29}, Sable, Sultan 2:24, etc. Mr. Page has a yearling horse colt, out of Sunny Slope Belle, by Le Grande. This colt is at present in the hands of Mr. Hickok at the Bsy District Track, who thinks very highly of him. Emma Steitz, is an old ch mare, who was celebrated in her day for her great Bpeed, and has produced several fine foals two of which are the property of Mr. Page. The first is Reka Patchen, by Alexander 490, and she has a grand filly by her side, by Mortimer 2:27, he by Electioneer 1:25. The second of the produce of Emma Steitz is Patile Patch, a full siBter to Reka Patchen. She has a ch filly by Admont 5349. Emma Steitz has a ch suckling colt, by Admont 5349. Peep-O- Day, the two-year-old Dawn oolt, which Orrin Hickok is train- ing, is out of this iii ire, and has demonstrated nis ability to get within the magic circle whenever his owner desire to give him a record. Lupe, a fine appearing grey mare is by imp. Mohamed (Arabian), dam a Black Hawk mare. Lupe, to the cover of Alexander 490, has produced Lalla and Laleli, and has now by her side, a beautiful iron grey filly by Mortimer 5346. Her daughter Lallahas a grey suckling filly by Admont, while Laleli has not had any chanoe to prove her productiveness, not having been bred yet. One of the very best tillifcs at Rancho Cotate, is Leoline by Clovis 4909, dam Leah by Woodford Mambrino 2:21, sire of AbboltBford 2:19, Mambrino Dudley 2:19, and Pancoast 2:21, (he the sire of Patron 2:144;); 2od dam Maud, (King Jim 2:2CH and also of Attorney, sire of Mabel A. 2:23 J); she by Alexander's Abdallah, sire of Goldsmith Maid 2:14. Leoline is entered iu the colt Btakea at Peta,luma and Santa Rosa, and also the Breeders' Association, two-year-old stakos. Leo. line is put up on the Sunol style being 15:2| at the withers and 15:3 . behind. She has also been placed in Mr. Hickok's charge to develop her speed, and is already proving that she has wonderful speed for such a young filly. From the brood mares we went to the stables and I was Bhown large draught stallions, one a Suffolk Punch causing favorable comment, as he is just my ideal of what one of the "big legged" fellows should be. Electic was taken from his stable and paraded up and down. This was the first time I had ever seen this well bred son of Electioneer, and was agreeably surprised to see a fine, stiapping three-year-old, with plenty of height for bis age, notwithstanding I had been told he was "a little thing." Electic is by Electioneer, dam Manette (a full sister to Wood- nut, 2.16£, and Manon, 2:21). by Nutwood, 2:1S^, 2d dam Addie by Hambletonian Chief, etc. Where will one look for better breeding? The tried blood of the two greatest living stallions blended in this one horse should make him in the near future one of the most fashionable sires in the State. He is of stately carriage, exceedingly well put up, good shoul- ders and barrel, with fine quarter and less that are hard to beat. While he has the Electioneer conformation in body and extremities his head tikes aftar the sire of his dam, and is a relief to the usual run of Electioneers, bo many of whom look alike. Iu this magnificent colt the breeders of Sonoma County have at their very doors one of the best bred stallions to be found anywhere, and I will be more than surprised if they fail to take advantage of the opportunity which will be afforded them next year of securing his services. I was extremely sorry that Mortimer 2:27 could not be seen, as he had been sent to Orrin A. Hickok's stables, at the Bay District Track, to be prepared for a crucial test this fall, as he is entered in the 2:20 Stallion Stakes offered by the Breeders' Association, in which he will have to meet a very strong field of horses. On my return to the city, I paid Mortimer a visit and was surprised to see such a superior animal. Having had my say about Eclectic, it would simply be a repetetion. "only more so," if anything were said of Mortimer, so I will quote the language used by Leslie Mac- leod Esq., associate editor of Wallace's Monthly, who in writing for his magazine says: Mortimer, 2:27 by Electioneer, dam Marti by Whipple's Hambletonian. Mortimer is bailt c'o^ely on the Electioneer order, and strongly meets the most critical inspection. I considered him, as" a individual, about the best son of Electioneer I saw in California, and that is saying a great deal. Barring Stam- boul, I am not prepared to say I saw any horse on the Paci- fic Coast that I liked better on the score of individuality than Mortimer. Making a guess at his height I put it a 15.3 hands, and I was surpiised, when we placed him under the stand- ard, to see that he is a shade over 16 hands high. It do not mention this to convev the idea that Iprefer a 16-hand horse to a 15 3 one for a trotting sire, for such is not the case; but when you see a horse that looks smaller than he is you gen- erally see a rarely-made one. This fellow is a very hand- some dark bay, with a noble head and cleanly-cut neck, shoulders and barrel ptout and unexceptionable in every par- ticular, and back and quarters of the A 1 brand. The quar- ters are mammoth in power and muscle, the forearms and gaskins stout and powerful, and the legs and joints clean and perfect. He was jogging on a soft exercising track in tips, and his feet looked healthy and good. The boy let him have his head just once, and be opened up at a true-eoough Elec- tioneer gait, and handled him Be f as if he had been there be- fore. The son of Electioneer and Marti is foimed in elegant and substantial proportions, and his general resemblance to his sire is positive and striking. Though built on a some- what larger order, he is just as consistent, even and smooth in form as his noble sire. There are no loose spots, no ir- regularities, but all is smooth and stout, and every line and part curves into the next with perfect grace. A stoat, strong and finished horBe, a trotter hiraBelf, excellently bred, be has the license to prove a star in a family where the s'ars come not singly but in clusters. The wiiter of the above is one of the most conscientious horse journalists in the United States, and I am convinced, from conversation with bim, that he thoroughly believes every word he says about Mr. Pages' horse. Mr. Hickok has several horseB from the Rancho Cotate in training. One a yearling by Le Grande, dam Sunny Slope Belle, who made an excellent showing until he developed a throat trouble, which will cause him to be thrown out Of training for this season. Peep O' Day, a two-year-old, by Dawn, is owned joiutly by Messrs. Hickok and Page, and his work is equally satisfactory to both trainer and breeder- Leoline is still another two-year-old in Hickok's care, and she is a perfect beauty. Her breeding is enough to warrant speed, being by Clovis, out ot Leah, by Woodford Mambrino; second dam Maud by Alexander's Abdallah. Clovis is one of Sultan's best sons, dam Sweetbriar by Thorndale, 2:22t. Leoline is bred in the purple, and being a 6ne individual should not disappoint those who expect much from her. I should like to describe to my readers the lines on which the Page mansion is built, to illustrate bow much comfort may be obtained in a country residence, when intelligence is com- bined with common Bense, and ordinary care is exercised in superintending the carrying out of the architects designs, but space will not permit, and that must be left for another time. It was with regret that "good-by" was said to host ard hostess, but trust the day :b not far distant when an oppor- tunity may offer to repeat the visit.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I heartily agree with your suggestion made sometime since of establishing a bench show oircuit on this coast, to include San Francisco, Los An- les, Saoramento aod Portland. In the two former cities, bench shows nave been held this year. The Pacific Kennel Club Show tit San Francisco being a succobs in all ways bnt financially, but I understand that if the show had been held earlier in the year and certain, expenses cut down, that the clob would have had a balance in its favor. The Bhow held by the Southern California Kennel Club at Los Angeles last week, the first held in Southern California, has been a great sacceBS in everyway, the entry list being large, the quality of the dogs good, and the judging by H. H. Briggs Esq,, meeting with general approval. Now I would suggest to the sportsmen of Sacramento, to organize *i kennel club immediately and hold a show during the week of the State Fair. I have no doubt but that it would be a great success. I am satisfied that the owners of dogs here would back them up in their endeavors. I would like to hear from others on this matter.

The poultry feature of the recent show at Los Angeles, while it did not attract a tithe of the visitors drawn by the dogs was nevertheless, a large, fine and creditable exhibition. The benching was first rate, being a series of light frames covered with white cloth except in front, where there was a door of neat slats. The birds could be as well Been at night as in the day time. The judging was not finished until Wed- nesday evening, for reasons familiar to fanciers, but when it was completed, the utmost satisfaction was expressed by the exhibitors at the accuracy and impartiality of the judges: Poultry and pet stock, A. F. Cooper, of Homer City, Penn Pigeons, James Fullerton, Orange, Cal. Incubators and brooders, C. B. Kelley, W. Nelson, E. R. Terwillerger, B. H. Shaw, C. T. Paul, Chas. W. Collins, John D. Mercer. _ A feature of the show was a coop of two ostrich chicks, nine weeks old. The birds stood four feet high and must have weighed forty pounds each. They are curious, omnivorous creatures, as little suggestive of ostrich plumes as can be imagined. A number of fine pea fowls were shown. Several incubators of different patents were in operation, the eggs having been placed in them some time before the show, so that hatching was in operation all of the show week. It was interesting to watch the chicks free themselves from the shells and gradually attain strength but we could not avoid the belief that the whole incub.itor system is taking a mean advantage of eggs, which would in the order of nature mature under the Bolicitous care of a fleecy hen and not a current of hot air. The Asiatics were the largest class, next being Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes. Bronze turkeys were large and of good type. Games and game bantams were also excellent. The pigeon exhibit was both large and superior, Mr. Geo. T. Marsh, of this city, owning nearly all the birds shown and taking a lot of prizes- In the poultry department as well bb among the dogs perfect cleanliness was the rule and the last day of the show was as free from malodors as the first. A. Private Field Trial. Prairie chickens being ripe, the season opened, Jay took his usual evening hunt among the stubbles and pastures in central KanBas, L county, last fall. The Irish setters Judith, Fanny and Nannie being the ohicken tinders on this occasion. Fanny, with her great speed and fine style, usually cutting out the work, but requiring watchfulness from her inability to refuse a run after the fleet-footed and cunning jack rabbit, which pest abounds in central Kansas, and is a very difficult animal to break a young dog from chasing. This particular evening I will always remember, both from the fine work of the dogs, and the dreadful storm which ensued that night. Putting the dogs down in some oat stubbles first, they covered the ground thoroughly without result till the extreme comer was reached adjoining the corn field, when Fanny pointed, backed by Judy, the young Nannie rushing in and flushing a fine bevy of full grown birds, for which she received the usual rebuke. Jay's gun was to his face in a minute, a 9£-lb. Smith, a hard shooting reliable gun, which the owner "could rely on reaching well out for a bird, and usually killed very dead; hastily getting a bead on a right quarterer, which fell to crack of gun, missing a distant left quartering chicken; rapidly shoving in more shellB, one more is bagged. Judy and Nannie retrieving in good style. Fannie for- gotten for a minute, is soon found on a point some distance away, which, from her unsteady actions Jay surmises to be a jack. Nor is he mistaken, for the latter soon runs a little piece then stops, and sitting up on his tail, complacently smiles back upon the now eager Fanny. The old lad, becom- ing apparently satisfied with the looks of things, and having sized the dog up correctly aB an easy victim, runs again, shakes out his legs, runs lame, and finally Fan, despite my whistle, can stand it no longer, and lets go in full ory after bunny. The latter takes things in a comparatively easy manner at first, but discovering the pursuer to be an nnuBU- ally fast one, openB up in grand style, and with throttle wide open soon disappears over a knoll, the dog closely behind. Knowing Johnnies habits, Jay takes a res'. Nor has he long to wait till the jack comes hopping back iu his tracks, having doubled on Fanny and given her the slip. When olose enough Jay tumbles him over and awaits Fan's return, belts her over the head and shoulders freely with the dead jack, and tying it to her collar, made her carry it around for a few blocks, and pretty effectually cured her from chasing. She got so s«"ck of that rabbit that Jay took it off finally in pity to her. Many sportsmen would lie down and weep at such frivolity in a dog, but Jay loves an ambitious, dashing dog, one to be checked rather than urged, and deBpises a slow, pottering dog thatisn'i full of hunt and life. Changing to a large pasture containing a pond, in whioh the dogs have a grand swim; ordering them on, Judy roads to a point, »nd finally Fanny, striking scent from opposite side, tumbles from a grand burst of speed to a stiff point almost over on her face. Calling the young dog up to back, and checking her desire to flash, she refuses to baok, but establishes a point of her own. Moving up to flush, three old birds get up which swiftly try to escape, but two drop for Judy to retrieve, the third being marked down after a long flight. In the edge of com ordering dogs over they fail to find, but work out into open and point the piDnated erouse some fifty yards from place he dropped, getting up with a whirr and a cackle whioh Jay has often heard in the evenings. The first barrel feathers him, but failing to Btop, the seoond in quickly (ired after him, and he comeB down with a thud. A tine big and fat cock grouse. Finding no more chickens in this posture, the dogs are ordered into the low aod reclining corn, whioh has been blown down by the wind. But beiog unable to Bee the doers, whioh is one of the ohief charms in this sport.it is soon deserted for s. me wheat Btnbble. Several covies are fouDd here, the dogs work well, shooting has been good, a good bag already made with very few misses, and everything is lovely. The sun is settling below the horizon, the sky is bright yellow, red and variegated. A cool and refieshiug breeze blowing. The view in all directions, \u the shade and glow of the Betting sun, is one of beauty and peace. Jay is at peace with the whole world, hiH pipe lit, and the fragrant, to him. smoke rising up in little circles. He loven his wornt enemy now, satisfied with everything and everybody. He ponders and reflects, thinking what a lovely world this is to live in, how sweet are its pleasures, what good people it contains, cares nothing for past or future troubles, hiH simply rests oontented pi the blissful present. Ye sportsmen ye know all the sensations better than any feeble pen can describe them, the delights of nature in her varied forms, be it on prairie or mountain, which only the sportsman at heart can fully enjoy. Time flying Jay notices not the approach of night but sits pondering over paBt scenes afield. The distant bark of a farmer's dog, lowing of cow, fol- lowed by distant thunder, wakes him from his reverie and noting black and threatening clouds spreading and spoiling the pretty picture, [turns hiB steps homeward. The doge pointing stanohly into some brush brings his gun to hie shoulder very quickly, but with a whirr up and away with lightning speed darts a covey of quail which are saored from harm, from Jay's gun at this season. Another and another covey are quickly found by the dogs, till nearly home. Jay now thoroughly hurried by the ap- proaching storm, the glaring flashes of lightning and howliDg wind, is soon in the house. the sky which such a short time before had presented so calm and peaeeful appearance, is now covered by a black and anpalling cloud. "Jay is'very thankful that his beloved wife and happy child- ren are safe in another State away from these terrible Kansas windB. Hastily lighting lamp and securely fastening all doors and windows, he awaits the storm, which grows apace. Wind howling and whistling and tugging at the stout little shanty, as if to pull it out of the ground, thunder rolling, rumbling crash, following crash the whole heavens riven by the lightning. The wind, now a perfect gale, langhing and howling in de- moniac glee at the destruction it appearB to contemplate, fills one's soul with horror. Towards midnight Jay can ttand it no longer; bis shanty has a dozen times threatened to fall on and crnBh him. Call- ing his beloved dogs together, he makes a dash for the oellar, which no house in that part of Kansas is without, shutting himself in the cold and darkness; making his bed on a butter tub and a pile of stones, he proceeds to pass the night, for the storm has come to stay. The building above rocks, creaks and groans under the weight of the mighty blasts, lightning striking many points in close proximity. Once entering the cellar, a stripe of yellow and glaring light slipping down the stone wall into the ground floor of cellar causes Jay to move uneasily; and having heard that it was easier to hit a stationary than moving object, he keeps on moving, greatly objecting to any of the treacherous electric fluid insinuating itself down his coat collar. That nigh* lasted several weeks, and the worst and wildest night man ever had the horror to live through, such light- ning, such thunder, and, above all, such wind, on daring to look out daring a lull. The blackest cloud, almost toucbiog the ground, ever wit- nessed was seen clearing the shanty, but returning with re- doubled force, accompanied by hail and rain. Throughout that entire night the storm raged; great was the destruction to crops; many an already partly-ruined farmer was com- pletely ruined that night. Not many houses being carried away, for the reason that all houseB in that seotion were one-story solid stone build- ings, but even a few of them were blown down. Haystacks, windmills, outhouses were found scattered to the four winds of heaven. Gentle reader, I trust you are in a country where you are free from these visitations of the elements. Seattle, W. T. Jay See En. "We are pleased to learn that the Los Angeles Bench Show paid well, for which desirable outcome the dog part is to be credited. It was astonishing to note with what unanimity visitors went immediately to the dog benches, made a close study of all the exhibits and then passed cursorily through the poultry annex. Both shows were well worth careful in- spection. The dog men of Denver, Col., are moving in behalf of a bench show, and we hope will give a successful one. Mr. Claude King, Denver, is the Secretary pro tern. One of our very best of English setters recently crossed the Atlantic. ThiB is Monk of Furness, the well-known son of Sir Alister and Belle of Furness, recently sold to the Elm Kennels, Forest Lake Minnesota. He leaves behind him many son and daughters, some of whom will doubtless do much to prepetuate the fame of their sire. [This is what the Eoglieh Kennel Gazette says of a dog owned by the Elms Kennels, the advertisement of which ap- pears in another column: — Ed.] Since the advent of Mr, Wm. Graham and his success in the judging ring Ireland does not seem so far away, and this week it is brought still nearer by receipt of an advertisement from Mr. John M. Niall, of Killaloe, County Limerick, offer- ing for sale Irish setters of the rarest breeding, most approved form and highest quality. Mr. Niall has sent many Irish setters to America, among them being several world beaters, such as Kathleen, pronounced by Dr. Rowe "The Queen of Irish Betters," Derg, a first prize winner at the Westminster Show, Red Hugh and otheis as good but not so well known. The dogs offered are strong in both bench and field strains of blood. Irish setters are popular on the Pacific Slope, and our read- ers will boubtless begin correspondence with Mr. Niall. If aDy desire to see full pedigrees of the puppies offered, tbey can do so at this office. The English setter Sportsman, by Gladstone — Sue has been sold by Mr. Shelby Hudson, of Covington, Ky., to Mr Pierre Lorillard, Jr , of New York. Sportsman is sire of Sirius, Sirocco, Saladiu and Sunlit owned by Californians. Mr. Ortou Gifford, of Wahpeton, Richland Co., Dakota, advertises elsewhere in the paper some choice pue dogs and Irish setters. The pngs, by Champion Kash — Narka, are perfectly bred, and should be juBt right. The Irish setters, straia to ohumpious Bruce and Glencho, two most fashionable dogs in both blood and wiunings. The local pog fancy is not as strong as it should be, and we commend the advertise- ment to our readers. Messrs. Post and Watson, of Sacramento, proprietors of the California Kennels, have sent all of their stud of English setters exoept Sweetheart and Sunlit, to the kennels of Mr. De Mott, at San Rafael. Mr. DeMott will oare for the dogs, rear the puppies and manage the kenuel. The move is a wise one, for several reasons. No man can give proper ca.« to a dozen dogs except one who makes it a business. Then too, Judge Post lives iu the oity of Sacramento and had not sufficient room for hi,a dogs. They will be muoh the bettey ' for the change. 1889 lit* Itate &u& Bvartmxcur*. 9 Mr. C. H. Kobecke, San Francisco, has purchased a brace of bloodhounds, Premier IV. and Barnaby Nell. The former by Premier III. — Duchess of Ripple. Barnaby Nell by Barnaby — Ripple BnscDm. The death of Scout Crosteth, which occurred at the home of Senator Finder, in Santa Rosa, on June 14th., deprives the fancy of one of the best dogs of the breed that has ever appeared in California. Scout was a young dog, and in pup- pyhood suffered severely from distemper, the disease leaving him for a time, inclined to chorea, but he outgrew the nervousuess and in the last Pacific Coast Field Trials showed very creditably. He was a clean, powerful, game looking dog, fall of huuting instinct, and of nice disposition. As a stod dog he proved his reliability and his decendantB show admirable quality. Senator Pindt-r is of the plucky sort and he will undoubtedly becure a successor to Scout very soon. The provision in the conditions of the Texas Field Trials published last week which limits competition to "amateurs" is a singular one. The club offers cash prizes, winning and receipt of which will make the winner a professional, and competition for which will also destroy the amateur standing of all competitors. It the desire of the club istoavoid contests against professional handlers it should limit its prizes to pieoes of plate; professionals will not, unless well paid, compete where ooin cannot be won. Snch a limitation of a stake will probably emasculate the Texas Trials, and make wins there a very uncertain index as to the absolute quality of the winning dogs. Older field trailers prefer to compete in open trials, choosing rather to lose in first rate company than to win by reason of incompetency of opposing handlers. Personally we had infinitely rather run a good third to Consolation and Daisy F. than win first over Blitz Burglar D. and Flake of Flockfinder. To be beaten by that brilliant setter Chance, handled by Avent, after running up for first, is an honor not lightly to be esteemed; while to win against a rank, untrained unconditioned beast that by good luck has been advanced in a stake and is handled by an arrant, unfair, so-called amateur is really no honor either to doe or handler. No record made except in open competition is worth a rap and it is a surprise that Texans, of allHmen, should make a close corporation of their club and its meetings. We should be glad to receive from Secretary Thomas, a resume of the reasons which inclined the club to favor a "baby" stake. Sacramento Spring Races. The promoters of the proposed spring meeting at Sacra, mento have received such encouragement from the business men of the Capital City, that the project is now an assured success. This is as it should be, for there will be an ampl* response from Eastern horse^owners, who will only too gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to take advantage of the climate, when opportunity is offered by which expenses of the trip may be made. The following is Secretary Smith's letter to this office, and the list of the stakes for 1890 and 1891. Sacramento, Cal., July 2, 1889. Editor Breeder and Sportsman" — The Spring Race Meet- ing of the State Agricultural Society, id now an assured event. As I have written you previously, we purpose giving a four days meeting in April, following the P. C. B. H. meeting in San Francisco. I have sent circulars East, calling the attention of owners of thoroughbreds, to the advantages offered by our winter climate and the opportunities of racing at the Blood Horse meetiDg in the Fall, and two very resDectable meetings in the Spring, thereby giving them an opportunity of early de- velopment and such other advantages, as you know our cli- mate affords. I have written Secretary Culver, asking the hearty co- operation of the Blood Horse Association, in our effort to bring to this State, such sUbles that have heretofore wintered in the South. I see no reason why we cannot, with the additional advan- vantage to race, bring out several prominent stables to take part. I have often been told, that if advantages to race were offered, they would certainly prefer coming to California to winter, than going elsewhere. You will to observe, by the circular enclosed, that for the beginning, our stakes are very respectably and will be worth to winners, from $1,500 to $4,000 each. Very respectfully, Edwin F. Smith, Sec'ty. P. S. I also enclose you circular, sent to the breeders of this State asking them to subscribe and inaugurate a "Breed- ers Stake, " thereb}T assisting us in the organization of ad ditional advantages, which will in future, benefit them.

Christopher Green, President. Edwin F. Smith, Secretary. A Pacific Coast association- Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The subject of forming an association for the purpose of stimulating and governing turf events on the Pacific Coast is by no means a new one. As tar back as 1S63 the writer, in company with several other representatives of the trotting turf, held a meeting in the parlors of tbe old Cosmopolitan Hotel, corner of Bush and Sansome streets, for the purpose of organizing and electing suitable gentlemen to till, the offices necessary for carrying into effect the purposes of jnst such an association as the one you now propose. At that meeting we then found, as doubtless one would now find, some persons who were opposed to a home government. After much discussion those of us who were in favor of the immediate organization of a Pacific Coast Congress reluctantly consented, for the sake of harmony, to an adjournment. 1 was then strongly in favor of the movement, and what- ever doubt I may have had of the existing necessity for such a government has long since been entirely overcome. I might of my own personal knowledge recite numerous cases in which the so-called National Congress was either too re- mote or perhaps. too full of other affairs to exercise its funo tions in due time to dispense justice to those who, under its government, had at least a right to expect official action within a reasonable period. Not only has much unnecessary delay and entanglement of turf matters grown out of the remoteness of our situation from the National Congress, but there has incontrovertably been some very questionable rulings, which doubtlesB have been made from a want of correct and reliable Information, owing to the many difficulties attending an action or correct hearing of a case so far from the place of its origin. Give us an honest home government, and honest home men to govern us. Let our turf law-makers and executive officials have charge and control of the emoluments arising from all violations of their laws to Buatain our association when thus formed; and when bo equipped there need be no harmful delay in adjusting all our grievances and in bring- ing proper And speedy punishment to all offenders against the rules and requirements of an association lormed for the purpose of encouraging and ennobling the trotting turf and making it here in California and throughout the Pacific CoaBt what it should be elsewhere — the leading and most popular of all oat door sports. The proposition to organize the association by taking for its officers one member from the Board of Trustees in each district is in my opinion quite proper and practical, provid- ing, by all means, that a meeting be called to give the trotting horse men and the public generally a fair chance to make their own selections, for undoubtedly some of the present incumbents would prove as inadequate to justice as they are otherwise incompetent. In this way we shall receive the approval and co-operation of all w« 11 meaning men, and instead of having, as at present, to abide by the ratings of men totally without the ability or knowledge necessary to give judgment even on the most unimportant question, we shall have men of sound judgment and* integrity to decide impartially on the different questions that may come before them. It were far better to be governed bv honest men of no pretense whatever than to be at the mercy of the ignoramus who is too conceited to acknowledge himself in the wrong and seek information from men wbose experience and hones- ty would set him right and give jnstice to those who are so unfortunate as to fall under bin brief authority. Ben E. Harris. 1626 Turk St., San Francisco, Jane. 27, 1889. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Your card or letter regarding the facts of a Pacific Coast Trotting Association received. As a general proposition I am in favor of a Pacifio Coast Association, as the number of associations is growing rapidly, and the horse interest in the states and territories of the Pacific Coast has reached a stage that an association of the character proposed will be of manifest advantage to all concerned, and I favor such an organization for these and collateral reasons. Yours truly, Santa Kosa, January;2b\ 1889, I. DeTurk. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Referring to your cir- cular of June 19th, regarding the formation of a Pacific Coast Trotting Association, I have to say that we are all heartily in favor of snch an organization, and that we will be glad to assist in promoting the enterprise. It is something we need, and no lime should be lost in calling a meeting. Yours truly, A. A. Newberry. Pres. Washington and Idaho Fair Association June 26, 1889. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I am unqualifiedly in favor of the proposition to organize a Pacific Coast Trotting Association. I would also suggest that, inasmuch as almost all of our meetings on this Coast are of a mixed character — i. e., both running and trotting— it might not prove inexpedient whilst entertaining the suggestion of a trotting association to en- deavor to combine therewith the turf interests of the blood- horse under the same organization. With rules and laws applicable to each way of goiDg, sep- arate committees to take charge of each department and decide all questions of appeal from the decisions of track judges and associations, and by the mutual recognition and enforcement of fines and suspensions inflieted by odo de- partment or the other, any such penalty would carry more weight than it does now. A mixed Board, selected from or constituted of the two committees named, with the assistance of a competent Secre- tary and clerks, would suffice to keep the records and look after the administrative and financial affairs of both depart- ments. Ihe above is merely a suggestion of my own, and does Dot emanate from or express the desires or opinions of any Di- rector of the Breeders' Association. If there be any merit or advantage in combining the turf interests of the Blood-Horse and Trotting Associations, the best time to do it will be in forming the new trotting associ- ation on this Coast; it will at least do no barm to get the views of all breeders' and turf associations on the Coast as to both the suggestions. Respectfully, "Wilfred Page. Peuns Grove, Sonoma County, June 29, 1SS9. Breeder and Sportsman: — I received your circular yester- day, and it affurrls me pleasure to see that there is a nlan on movement for the promotion of a Pacific Coast Trotting Association. I think it is a wise move, and I assuie you that I fully endorse such an action. Yours truly N. A. COVARRUBIAS. Santa Barbara, June 30, 1889. Where the Car Porters Come From. When you ride up to the gate of one of the big Kentucky stock farms, there is a little nigger boy to open the gate for you. You pitch him a quarter. When you drive out there is another nigger boy waiting to shut the gate. You pitch him another quarter. They both say "Thank ye, boss," and look happy. They say all our best negro waiters come from Kentucky. I am inclined to think ail onr Pullman car por- ters do also. There is one negro to every white man in tbe Blue Grass country, and two negroes to evary horse. One negro cannot take c ire of ahorse. The colored people are far more deferential in that country than they are in the North.— Forest and Stream. A.

Editor Breeder and Spoktsmax:— The standard trotter class was introduced to give the middle class harness horse a chance to compete with his own kind, It mast sorely be a dunghill standard horse thrit a man wants to enter in a class that is below bis rank. Tbe roadster class is for the man who is breeding up. The standard class is for the man who has bred up. He must be unambitious, indeed, who wants to enter his standard trotter in a class of plebians — ur full of greed that he wiBheB to take the money from the lower, with a higher classed animal. The premium list is not constructed to pander to the greed of any one, but to encourage the breeder and artisan all along the line. Draft, all work, roadster, standard trotter and thorough- bred horBes, all have their class, and the very fact that there are men who wish to go into a lower class with animals of a higher class, is the reason of the necessity for a rnle that Bbnts them oot. If the roadster's c'ass were open to stand- ard trotters, the standard horse wonld fill both classes, and the man who was breeding up would have no show. To be sure, the common standard horse has not much show, but that is no reason that he should compete with the roadster. The commoners of every cHbb have to go home from the fair without honor or reward, except occadionally when they strike erroneons judgment or slide through a class below their rank without beiog detected. I am at a loss to know what reason, except it he tbe money that induces a breeder to enter his horse below his level. The horse if he wins, only gains barren honor; if he looses he is doubly disgraced. G, W. Hancock.

The Board of Directors will have charge of the track and grounds daring the week of rHces, and will see that the mles are strictly enforced, and purses and stakes will be paid when the Judges hxve r training is advanced to an honorable and beneficent pursuit, and the jockey is respected, tiuste^ and honored agreeably as he Btrivt;B to rank in his high art, which has the elements of a meritorious profession. The great advancement in the morality of the turf is dem_ onstrated upon the turf itself, and ia our country, even more gratifyiogly than it is in England. There the reformation has gone far toward abating th*1 dishonest practices upon the turf, and of excluding from it the characters who dishonored it— the nobles the same as the commoners. The worth and wealth, the beauty and the fashion, from royalty to the trades- man, are delighted spectators at the great races. In America, from Maine to Texas, from tbe Atlantic- to the Paoific, in every State and Territory, the race course is the frequent en- joyable resort of the people, from the highest in respectability, in social position, greatest in honor and good name, to the shoe-shiner who polishes the foot wear. None are OBtracised because they visit the traok; it is noble sport to witness. The buildings are oostly, sumptuous, excellently managed, and track a d grounds are maintained in good order to the com- fort, protection and delight of all. Refined ladies graoe and throng the club house, the stands and the field in splendid equipages. It is a joyous, exciting ennobling Bport — harm- less as it is exhilarating. In these brilliant assemblages the morality of the tnrf is an approved quality. It 1b lifted from the lowly place to the elevated station; it is refined to the degree of purity which is compatible with wholesome enjoy- ment and cheering pleasure. The advancement has been greater and better with the trotting turf, but racing has in every respect much improved from the methods of past yearB. The Blue Rock Club.

Dr. C W. Aby, Champion Angler. "The above head is hardly correct. 'Liar' instead of 'An- gler' would have suited better. When Dr. Aby visite i Lake- port we gave him a great deal of true information about the fish in clear Lake and the streams. We even told him about tbe boys with their dogs chasing them around in the grain fields, and both dogs and boys catching them by the hun- dred. We even showed him the place and proved it all. We also gave him an opportunity to kill three at one shot iu passing along the road, and that, too, several miles from the Lake or stream, merely in a ditch by the side of a road. He still insisted we were all liars. We do not think the Doctor wocld intentionally tell a lie, but he merely wants to adver- tise Lake County as the fishing ground of the world, and cor- rectly, too. See what he writes to the Breeder, and Sports- man."— Lakeport Democrat. (Oar confidence in Dr. Aby's skill with the rod is increased by the spuming of the inveracious Damoarat man, who can be nothing other than an envious follower of St. Peter. The simple recital of a day's sport with fourteen worms and a lot of catfish sent us by the Doctor two weeks ago, bore an un- mistakable Btamp. Months ago the Doctor wrote about kill- ing eighty-four snipe without a miss, aud we believed that story; why cannot the pesky Lakeport scribe permit ub to ac- cept as a verity this latest simple aunal from that most guile- less of men, the Manager of Guenoc. If the Dootor was made to B*y that he killed two tons of catfish with hook and line in Beventeen minutes, using fourteen worms, has not the Democrat mau knowledge enough of men to know that the Doctor must have written one ton instead of two? An ample apology is due from the Democrat man for pretending to know anything about either Dr. Aby or catfish; he is prob- ably up on suckers. — Ano. Ed] the gust, Pacifl Sportsman's Club.

Lancaster, son of Mr. Lancaster, the inve tor of the central fire cartridge as applied to shot guns. There is no one living who can so well impart information on the art of wing shooting as Mr, Lancaster; this I believe, and my reason for saying so is that the London papers are con- stantly speaking in the highest terms of Mr. Lancaster both as a crack London gun maker and particularly as a most skillful instructor in the art of wing shooting. It, is to be regretted that in this country there is not one man of whom 1 know who can be justly called a "coach" on shot gun shooting. I don't mean to say that there are not plenty of men here who can shoot, for I am of the firm opinion that there are more fine shots in America than in any other country, but I don't know of a single gun maker who is either competent or, if able, willing to instruct the novice or more advanced sportsman in the art of wing shooting, at any rate I have never met such an one, nor have I any knowledge of any one in the gun business who gives lessons in wing shooting. Now, Mr. Lancaster has his own private shooting grounds outside of London where rifles, pistols and shot-guns may be tried on the target animate or inanimate for which the weapon is intended. In the matter of rifles or pistolB, shoot- ing at a mark is generally considered sufficient, let* it be stationary or moving; with the shot-gun the case differs. Here it is not a question of what a man can do at a target but what he can accomplish when shooting at game, pigeons or artificial birds. To meet their requirements, Mr. Lan- caster has a supply of pigeons on his shooting grounds, also clay pigeons, so that when the purchaser has selected a shot- gun, all he has to do is to go to the suburbs of London and then try for himself in actual servico whether the gun that mounts perfectly in the shop is really a fit. We all know the inestimable value of snch services when purchasing a high priced shot gun, for it is well known that no man can tell to a dead certainty just how a gun fits until he actually shoots it at some swift moving object. It stands to reason then that the man who is thus con- stantly employed can write jnst such a book as tbe novice will require, and, furthermore, as this volume is not written to puff the Lancaster gun, it is sure to be well received in America when men judge things from a practical standpoint; in other words, the man that "gets there" in this country is' the one we concur by. I most cheerfully recommend this little volnmp, so differ- ent from the books on guns we are accustomed to re*d, and I'm sure that after its perusal no intelligent SDortsman will regret the time or money it has cost him. " Gaucho. Tbe deer season has opened in anspioionsly bad luck having attended all shooting parties of -which we have in- formation. It iB a backward season, and tbe bucks are yet soft in horn and very Bhy. In Marin plenty of sign is to be seen, but none have yet been killed. We hope to receive re- ports next week from many readers about their success. Sportsman's Association of the Northwest. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The tournament of our association has closed and I enclose Bcores. Prior to the shooting on the morning of the 19th., the an- nual nieetiDg of the Sportsmen's Association of the North- west was held, resulting in the election of the following offi- cers: President, A. W. Du Bray, of Walla Wnlli; 1st Vice- President, E. E. Ellis, of Tacoma; 2nd Vice Pnsident Jhb. West, of Seattle; 3rd Vice-President, Dr. Britton, of Fort- land; Secretary and Treasurer, H. T. Hudson, Portland, Or. Montana was admitted (o the association, and it was de- oidod to hold the next meeting and tournament iu Portland next June. A oommittee of one from each club in the association was appointed to revise the by laws and constitution. The tournament was well attended by sp rUmen from Oregon, Montana, Washington and two from California Mr C. J. Haas aud Dr. Britton, these two gentlemen beioe weli known iu Snn Francisco as crack ihots and genuine sports- men, the latter being known under his proper name will be recognized in California. During the last shoot for the Globe Trophy, the Dr and Mr. H-ias not being eligible to shoot for the trophy it was freely predicted that the Dr. would miss his last bird so as to 1889 %hz ISreete arwT j£pmfemaw.' 13 put himself in for secoDd money. To the surprise of all he got his tenth bird straight, which shut him out of any prizes, and turning to the wondering shooters present: •'Gentlemen" the Br. remarked, "I shoot for pleasure and not for money. I wouldn't have missed that bird for any- thing and put myself in such a light before you." The ladies present cheered him lustily, and more than half of the better class present wrung his hand warmly, and will not soon forget the noble action of the Doctor. The tournament was managed fairly well. There was con- siderable confusion, however, regarding ties, and inanimate targets were not thrown strictly according to rules, no two birds being thrown at same elevation and distance from traos. The scores appended are necessarily imperfect, as we found it impossible to get a correct copy. Mr. Z. Doty, of Seattle, won the Selby ba'lge for best aver- age during tournament, using an L. C. Smith gun. Mr, Gard Kellogg of same place, won second best average with a Smith eun. Mr. Dn Bray, of Walla "Walla, won the badge formerly held by Mr. Moore, of Portland, on mixed targets using a Scott gun. Mr. J. M. Bell, of Tacoma, won the Globe Trophy, repre- senting the championship of the northwest on live birds, the latter trophy having cost $350. Seattle sportsmen were entirely unprepared for the event, having had no practice, and nearly all of them having been burnt out in the late fire. The few who were present did very well considering tJe circumstances; only about five or six being present, whereas, there would have been twenty- rive at least, but for the recent fire. Seattle contains more good shots than any other city of its size that we know of. Thope present did not shoot up to their average by any means. The live bird shooting was very fair, the birds being an average lot. Birds being scarce it was impossible to Bhoot off many of the ties. PROGRAMME, MONDAY, J ONE 17. MATCH NO. 1.

Several important sporting eveDts took place during the paBt week. The regatta was a grand succes. The wheel- men's race meet was well patronized, and an immense crowd of people gathered at Shell Mound Para to witnes the athletic games of the Scottish Thistle Club. RUNNERS. WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The Olympic Club's "cross country" team will shortly resume practice. A "crosscountry" team composed of the longdistance runners of the C. A. A. C. will be organized in the near future. Frank O'Kane of the O. C. will take part in the sprint runs on Sept. 9th. This promising young runner says that he will pay more attention to "starting'' in future, and that the starter will never again have cauBe to put him back for false starting. The friends of Cassidy are confident of his ability to equal SchifferBtein's 100 yards record of 10 seconds. Judging from the good account he gave of himself at the championship meeting of May 30th, Cassidy will yet be able to cope with acv amateur runner in America. Dick Jones, the well known athlete, recently tfiok onto himself a wife. Like tbe majority of athletes that have married during the past few year^, Mr, Jones has decided to retire from the track. C. A. Elkridge of the G. G. A. C. continues to improve as a heel and toe walker, and at the next out-door meeting will probably surprise some of tbe old time walkers. There is no reason why mnsic should not be introduced at athletic meeting. Besides adding to the enjoyment of the spectators, a good band of music would do mnch towards encouraging the runners and walkers to make faster time. Tbe condition of Schifferstein's health will probably cause him to retire irom the athletic world at an early date. Mr. Schifferstein's heart is no doubt weak, and he should avoid all violent exercise. In addition to being a good athlete, Moffit of the University Athletic Club, is an excellent scholar. At the recent Univer- sity examination he won tbe gold medal for military tactics, the gold medal for athletics, and the scholarship medal. This is the tirBt time in the history of the University that the three medals were won by the same sludent. Moffit will next try hie hand at pole vaulting, and will soon commence to practice with the intention of beating the Coast record at the next open games. Judging from all accounts this popu- lar University boy will succeed in his effort. The games of the Scottish Thistle Club took place so late in the week that we are compelled to hold over our account of the different events until the next issue. A prominent member of the C. A. C. suggests that it would be a goon idea if the club would send a delegation of its ama- teur athleteB to represent it at thb games of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, which will be held on Thanksgiving Day. There are two or three good men in the club who are fully competent to carry off several first prizes, and whose appear- ance at Los Angeles would do much towards elevating the amateur branch of the C. A. O. Eastern athletic clubs send teams to represent them in far off cities, and there is no reas- on wb}' the San Francisco clnba should not follow suit. Several well known athletes have been exercising at the Bay District Track for the last couple of weeks. We presume they are getting ready for the Admission Day games. About 100 Indies and gentlemen assembled on the grand stand at the Bay District Grounds one evening last week to witness a half-mile race between two novices for $25 a side. The contest afforded much amusement to the spectators, for, on close observation it was plainly to be Been that the two aspiring runners, (who looked decidedly fat) were better ac- quainted with the German language, than with the "art of training." Quite a number of young men are anxious to find out if there is any truth in the report that the monthly dues of the C. A. A. C are soon to be reduced to one dollar. The pres- ent dues $2.50 are entirely too high, and if the club deoides to reduce tbem a large number of aspiring athletes will no doubt apply for membership. There is a rumor in circulation to the effect that a team of Eastern athletes will viBit tbe Pacific Coast next fall. Let them come on; we will be ready to fight them. In England nil athletes are known by the colors that are worn. Each man's colors are printed after his name on the programme, This plan should be adopted on the Pacific CoBHt, as the "number" system is not at all satisfactory. The majority of the athletes here forget to wtar their numbers and the spectators are unable to distinguish one runner from another. Tbe C. A. A. C. can boast of having half a dozen men in its ranks who are capable of doing bettei than 5 feet in the running high jump. Tbe mimes of these men are Carpenter, Whelan, Gafoey, Foster, Sexsmith and Holland. Two judges of walking should officiate at every athletic meeting where there is a walking race inoluded on the pro- gramme. At tbe last meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. the judge of walking, instead of watohing the competitor?, undertook to coaoh the ex-Eoglish champiou, Jarvis. Several remarks were made by the audience in regard to this oircunistance, but tbe club officials did not seem inclined to bother their heads about the matter. Tbe Western cbampionBhipp of the Amateur Athletic Union were decided at Detroit, Mich , on Jnne 15th. Three thousand persona were present to see tbe gam* s. There- cords made ii; most of the events were not as good as tbe Pacific Coast records. Tbe following are some of the events in which the Paoifio Coaat records were not equalled: Half m'.le rnn, 2 min 7 3-5 neo. One mile walk, 7 min. 34 aeo. Pole vault. 8 ft. 9 in. Potting 16 lb. shot, 38 ft. $ in. Run- uing long jump, 2l(t, 5 in. Running high jump, Mt.Mft. THE WHEELMEN. A. S. Ireland, the game little rider of the "Alameda Scorchers," has retired from the track. Mr. Ireland has been very ill of late, and his physician has ordered him to give up racing. A fall account of the meet at Stockton will be given in our next issue. Fred. C. Clift, of the "Alameda Scorchers," met with a very painful accident last week while out riding. Mr. Clift was unfortunate enough to take a "header," and the result was a badly sprained knee. He hopes, however, to be able to com- mence training soon for the walking event of the O. C. games which will come off on September 9th. A large number of wheelmen visit the Park every Saturday afternoon and Sunday, and tbe ladies and children who are in the habit of attending the concerts are often amused by the funny tricks which some of the riders perform. The wheelmen make a great mistake in not including some athletic events on their programmes. Two or three foot races, interspersed with the bicycle events, would add more excitement to the day's sport. A meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held on Monday evening last at tbeir club room on Van Ness avenue. The following league officers were nominated: R. M. Thompson of San Francisco, Chief Consul; J. Phil. Percival of Los Angeles, Vice-Consul; Walter D. Sheldon of Sau Franoisco, Secretary and Treasurer; Representatives — C. C. Moore of Stookton, Arthur C. McKenna of San Jose, and John W. Gibson of San Francisco. The election will take place be- tween July 15th and August 15th. AT THE OARS. ThomaB GihoD, the Montgomery street jeweler, is one of the beBt oarsmen on the Pacitio Coast. Mr. Gihon does not believe in racing; he takes to the oars merely for pleasure's sake; and never misses a Sunday without taking a long spin on the bay. The regatta on the 4th was a splendid success in every way. The different wharves were crowded with people anx- ious to get a look at the races. The names of the winners will be given in our next issue. The seventeenth annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen will be held August Sth and 9th over Pullman course, i ear Chicago, 111. The races will be open to the world. The regatta of the Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing Association will take place at Pullman, August 8th-10th. The Triton Boating and Swimming Club is about to move from its present quarters at the foot of Mason street to more comfortable rooms on Larkin street. The old club-house will probably be purchased by a yacht club recently organized at the North Beach. EXHIBITION NIGHT AT THE OLYMPIC CLUB. The regular monthly exhibition of tbe Olympic Athletic Club took place in the gymnasium of the club last week. Several valuable medals were conleated for by the members. The programme began with a fence-vanlting contest, in which G. H. Hamersly, J. G. Hooper, D. W. Donnellv, T. Allorelli. P. P. Bernhard, H. A. Denhard and W. G. Zelner partici- pated. Zelner won the first prize, with a leap of six feet seven inches. Denhard was second. Club-swinging by H. J. McGill followed, after which came the rope-climbing contest. W. H. Haberly succeeded in climbing twenty-two feet in eight and one-half seconds, and as this was the best record he was awarded the first medal. W. P. Henry took the second prize. W. Gallagher and J. L. Lafferty then sparred three lively rounds, alternating with J. V. Harrison and R. McAithur. The entertainment closed with an exhi- bition "fake" fight, in which H. J. McGill and Ben Bogner were tbe principals. The ludicrous actions of the two men caused much merriment amongst the audience. The exhibi- tion wbb in every way a succesB. IN THE SURF. The weather on Sunday last and during the early part of week was tinnsaally warm, and as a consequence tbe bath- houses did a rushing business. At Monterey, Santa Cruz and Capitola the weather has been very warm during the past couple of weeks, and crowds of people daily enjoy a dip in the surf at theBe resorts. The crowd at the Terraoe Baths in Alameda last Sunday was so great that many persons were unable to obtain suits. Gus Ungerman, tbe champion wrestler is a frequent visi- tor at the Crystal Baths. Mr. Ungerman is an artistic swim- mer, and the ladies never fail to admire bis daring feats. A young machinist named Barton was severely bitten by a dog-fish while swimming in the Raocoon Straits on Sunday last. Barton was over a quarter of a mile from shore at the time. This should be a warning to young men who are in the habit of swimming out a loug distance from the shore. There is no telling when a school of these dog-fish will spring up. It is a well known fact that out of every dozen people that enter the water not more than four or five can swim. HOOK AND LINE. The muddy state of the water on Sunda; last prevented the fish from biting, and at Tiburon, Lime Point and other places the fisbfng was exceedingly poor. Ooly one or two good oetohes were reported. Several very large black bass were caught at the Crystal Springs lake on Sunday last. CLUB JOTTINGS. Work is being rapidly pushed at tbe Harbor View training grounds, and it is expected that all the improvements will be oomplete by August 1st. During the absence of ^resident Philo Jacoby, Capt. A. H. Lean will superintend the work. A high fenoe, whioh is intended to shelter the athletes from the cold breeze of the ocean, has already been-ereoted, and the dressing rooms and shower baths are now being put up. A meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. will be held next week. Almost every day we hear of a new athletic club being or, ganized. These clubs should not be called athletio clnbs- tbey are in reality prize fighting clubs, and should not be > ti- eouraged. Pugilism has advanced so far in the City tha' forty per cent of the population aspire to be "sloggert.", and t is not safe for a respectable man to express bis opinion in a public place. The Major should make some effort to Btop these "exhibition." The amatner wrestlers of the C. A. A. C. will not be allowed to take part in the coming championship tournament which will be held under the auHpicea of the O. C, The offioera of tbe C. A. C. are determined that (heir athletes shall not mix themselves up with tbe "dirty" Olympaioa. Now that the two leading athletic clubs will have training grounds of their own the question is what will become o( tb« old. grounds at \MX\ and.

The joint meet of the Oak Leaf and Bay City Wheelman which took place at Banner Island Park, Stockton, on the 4thf was well attended. Several records were broken during the day, despite the exceedingly hot weather, and the guests as- sembled to witness the races were more than satisfied with the excellent riding in the several events. The parade in the morning was a grand exhibition, wheel- men of all ages and sizes being in line. In the evening the Pavilion was filled and an enjoyable entertainment was given in the drill and trick riding. The programme closed with a grand ball. The Oak Leaf Wheel- men deserve much credit for the excellent and liberal man- ner in which they treated the visiting wheelmen. The races were called at 2 o'clock. The grand stand was crowed with ladies and their escorts, and a large number of spectators were seated in carriages. The firBt race was tne one mile Dovice race, the coast re- cord being 2 hours and 54 minutes. The starters were S. E, Mastick of the Oberlin Club, Al.ColI of the Garden City's, W. R. L:ppttt of the Garden City's unattached. The five wheelmen raced in a bunch until the last lap, when Doane spurted to the finish, winning in three minutes. Coll was second. The second race was a quarter mile dash, the coast record being, 37 2-5 seconds. The starters were T. W. Gilmour and C. W. Hammer of the Bay Citys, and F. E. Southworth and J. E. Hickinbotham of the Oak Leafs. Hickinbotham won the race in 41 1-5 seconds, Hammer second, and Gil- mour third. The next race was two-mile, L. A. W. State championship, the coast record being (i minutes. The staiters were F. F. Southworth, of the Oak Leafs; W. G. DaviB, of the San Fran- ciscos and R. W. Turner, of the Bay Citys. Turner led off closely followed Davis, who saved himself on the first mile, which was made in 3:28. Turner was allowed to lead until orosBing the line for the last lap, when Davis raced away from him: winning the race easily in 6:48. The fourth race was a one mile safety, L. A. W. State championship, coast record, 3:10 4-5, unless 3:10 was beaten no medal would be awarded. The starters in this event were A. L. Wolff of the Oak Leafs, C. B. Lakeman unattached, C. P. Fonda of the San Franciscos, W. A. Shockley, C. N. Langton and Sanford Plummer of the Bay Citys. Lakeman and Fonda fell out of the race early, and Plummer took the lead to the last lap. when Shockley made a fast spurt, leading to the finish in 2:59.'- minutes. Plummer a good second. The next race was a half mile handicap, the coast record being 1:22. The starters were W. G. Davis, scratch; J. E. Hickinbothom, 25 yards; C. W. Hammer, 25 yards; T. W. Gilmour, 50 yards; W. H. T. Durant, 70 yards; Al. Coll, 75 yards; L. C. Black, 75 yards; Coll won the race in 1:20 2-5 breaking the coast record, Hammer second and Durant third. The three-mile handicap race was next on the programme. This was an interesting event to the Stocktonians, who backed E. Southworth against the fast ones from abroad. The coast record against them was 9:07 2-5, which remains the record, although an effort was made to lower the time. The starters were E. Southworth, scratch; L. G. Hodgkins of the Bay Citys, 75 yards; Doane, 150 yards; Lippet and Mastick, each 200 yards. Southworth made a good race, showing great speed and endurance, winning easily in 9:29. Hodgkins was second and Mastick third. The two-mile safety handicap was next in order, the coast record being 6:31 4-5. There were four entries, but WulfT and Lakeman, who were placed at scratch, protested against the allowance of 125 yards to Shoctley, and refused to race. Shockley and Langton started at scratch, and Shockley won In 6:25, breakiug the record. The last race was one-mile scratch, the coast record being 2:4S* minutes. Davis, Hammer and Hickinbotham entered. Davis won in the slow time of 3:11, Hickinbotham being a good second. AT THE OARS.

July 13 Memoirs of Lexinerton. A few days ago, we had a call from the nestorof the Amer- ican Tnrf. Richard Ten Broeck, Esq., who kindly left with us a memoir of Lexington, written by Col. Bruce of the Live Stock Journal. The pamphlet is full of reminiscences of the great horse, and as the Lexington blood is at present flowing strongly in the veins of many noted trotters as well as run- ners it will be of interest to all lovers of the horse to read of the mighty deeds performed by the son of Bostou and Alice Carneal. Mr. Ten Broeok has our thauks for the interesting article. LEXINGTON'S PERFORMANCES, Lexington, Ky , May 22. 1B53.— Association 8take. For ihree-year- ohls; colts 86 lbs., fllhea 83 lbs.

With this large field of the most promising and high bred colts in Kentucky, it may well be imagined that grtat interest was felt, and wagers were laid in every conceivable way in the betting circles. Garrett Davis had the call over any colt in the race. Darley bar] bnt few supporters. His enlightened and spirited owner, Dr. E Warfield, a gentleman who contributed more to keep up the sport at Lexington, Ky., than any person of his day, named him. and the writer often heard him say when Darley was a colt, and up to this race, that hereafter breeders would trace back to Warfield's Darley. How true were his predictions this history will shuw. A false start was made prior to the first heat, and Darley, Garrett Davis and Madonna ran about two miles and three- quarters before tbey could be pulled up. With the consent of the judges Garrett Davis was then withdrawn from dis- tress and his haukers* monev saved. The race is easily des- cribed. The track was nearly knee deep in mud, and rain- ing hard during the pendency of the race. Not five minutes were given between the ran away and the start. "When the drum tapped Darley led off, was never headed, and distanced all bat tbree. The second heat was a duplicate of the first, Madonna being distanced in the second heat.

Suffice it to say that Darley did not run for the first heat, but won the second and third with great ease. After this race the colt was bought by Mr. Ten Broeck, and his name changed, as will be seen by the following letter to the Spirit of the Times: "Lexington, Ky., May 28, 1853. Dear Sik:— I send you the papers thiB morning contain- ing an account of the races and an advertisement of the stakes for Now Orleans, which please publish with the others. I have purchased Dr, Warfield's Boston colt, out of Alice Carneal, for which I claim the name of Lexington — price $2,500. Lexington is a bay colt, four white feet and a snip, and was foaled March 17, 1850; he was got by Boston, out of Alice Carneal, by imp. Sarpedon; grandam Rowena bySump- ter, g g dam Lidy Grey by Robin Grey, g g g dam Maria by Melzar, g g g g dam by imp. Highflyer, g g g g g dam by imp.

Spotswood, of Virginia, and both were by Oullen's Arabian. The colt was bred by me, as was also his dam, which I now and will ever own. Signed: E. Warfield.'' "I shall be in New Orleana in a week. Dr. Warfield is one of the most wealthy and respectable gentleman in Ken- tucky—seventy-two years of age, and as tine as a four-year- old. The pedigree of Lexington is certified by his former owner, a gentleman without reproach. Yours traly, R. Ten Broeck." It is stated that Dr. Warfield asked $5,000 for the colt, but he was bought for $2,500 cash, with the contingency of $2,500 addilional if he won the great State Stake at New Orleans, When informed that it was the intention to enter him for this stake, and that he should have the $2,500 in oase he won it, he replied, "take him, I know he will win it, and I am certain of getting the five thousand dollars." His first appearance under his new name, was on the Metairie Course, New Orleans, December 2, 1853, in a match race on the following terms: New Orleans, L»„ Friday, I)ecember2, 1B58. — Match for S8,G0tl(?n t00 on Sallie Wat urn vh. ?3,G00on Lexington); half forfeit.

We clip from the Now Orleans Picayune the following account of the race: THE QEEAT MATCH BACE AT NKW ORLEANB. "The successof Sallie Waters last spring in the sweep- sUkes over the Metairie Course, two mile heats, in which Bhe beat Arruw alter a straggle of three heats, was (he main cai -se of yosierdity'ri race. It may be .said with troth that the remit of that race engendered a hi tor racing animosity, which gi r full vent to itself when the "high, contracting parties" U'Stin Kentucky last spring. The Great State Post SlakeB ; be run here next spring (which will doubtless bring to- f, k*her the finest field of horses that ever mot anywhere} uti'iBrindnced each party in the stike to po'-sesa himself of the beat race-horse that could be found. Tho Alabama party (already in the stake), from the repeated success of their favorite, fully believed they had already held posses- sion of the finest jewel of the crown in Sallie Waters, and ■were comparatively content to rest upon their well-earned laurels, or if necessity required it, to 'tight their battles o'er again.' "Salliestood the championof Alabama. Notso thosewbom she had vanquished. Intent upon the Bame high position which Alabama might have properly been believed to oocupy, those who represented the other States were in search of the fleetest of the fleet, the strongest of the strong, to deride her claim to supremacy, and when the purchase of Lexington waB effected, the Darties met, and yesterday's match was but the beginning of the end. The controversies which, during the summer, appeared in the New York Spirit of the Times, givin" vigor and vitality to that department of that journal, added fuel to the flame, and the merits of every sire, dam, colt and filly, from the celebrated ride into Jerusalem down to the Godolpbin Arabian, and even to the present moment, have been fairly and unfairly discus?ed. Yesterday the mountain labored and the mouse appeared. "The race was made at odds, $5,000 to $3,500, three-mile heats— the Sallie "Waters party betting the larger amount. Sallie maintained and even increased her position in the bet- ting up to the last moment, Lexington's friends either wait- ing for longer oddB or fearful that the climate might have effected their favorite. The betting closed at 2 to 1 on Sallie. Upon stripping the fine form of Sallie, the apparent excel- lence of her condition, challenged the admiration of all. To our mind she was a shade too high, and we so remarked to others. Lexington's appearance, bb he walked past the stand, was by no means attractive, and he violates all the rules laid down by horsemen in the purchase of a horse — 'four "white legs deny him,' is the old maxim — and in addition to that eye-sore, he has glassy or 'wall' eyes, and is *a blazed young rip;' but when stripped his form did certainly command admiration. His style of going iB the poetry of motion, and the horse that outruns him in a sticky, heavy track, like that of yesterday, muBt be a sort of steam engine in disguise. "Sally by no means justified the expectation of her backers, and to our mind proved conclusively that a muddy track is no place for her. She labored excessively, and from the tap of the drum to the close of the race she showed no sign of speed that could for a moment strengthen the hopes or wishes of those most largely interested in her fate— for her fate was their own. "The day was lovely, the attendance was very numerous, the coarse was extremelv heavy, tough and inelastic, and the contest uninteresting. "The word was given, and Sallie (on the outside) made a dash to take the track, without success; she kept up her run, however, and they both lapped to the stand in 2:18 (excellent time for the state of the track, which was heavy and sticky). Lexington shook her off in the second mile and passed the judges' stand two lengths ahead in 2:10, Sallie receiving the spur. To any practiced eye the race was over, and the third mile he came home an easy winner in G;23$. He couled off so finely that $100 to $10 wbb bet before the second heat, which he won in 6 24J without an effort, distancing her, and establishing, that despite his 'four white feet and white nose' he is one of the beBt racers that has shown here for many years. "In fact, the Lexington party offered to draw the match this morning, but the other party refused, expecting a forfeit I presume, and their confidence was, of course, much increased by this offer. Lexington's friendB did not like his condition; about five weeks before he became sick, and ten days before the matoh was sent from Natchez under the care of a "darkie" to take slow gallops only, and that his condi- tion could not be relied upon — that undergoing the process of acclimation, as he was, they feared be might weaken in the race and be badly beaten." Shortly after this match, and indeed before it was run, considerable feeling had been elicited through the Spirit of the Times upon BoBton and his get, when Mr. Ten Broeck issued the following challenges, which elicited no response: THE BOSTONS AGAINST THE WORLD. "Ab there has been considerable discussion in regard to the ability of Boston and his progeny as racers, and as I happen to own some of them, of wnich I have a favorable opinion, to test their power 1 make the following proposals: "I will name two of the get of Boston against any two horseB not sired by him, to run two-mile heats over the Metairie course at New Orleans, on the 24th day of March next, for five or ten thousand dollars a side. The party accepting to name either sum, to send the forfeit money and the name of the horse to John G. Cocks, Ksq., President of the Metairie Jockey Club, which will close the match. The names of the horses of both parties will then immediately be published in the daily papers of New Orleans. But one horse to start for each party, and to be named at the post; or, •'I will run the same race over the Newmarket course at Petersburg, Va., on the 12th day of June next, for ten thous- and dollars a Bide, with the same conditions, excepting that it shall be obligatory upon both parties to have the named horses at New Orleans on the 15th day of April next; and if, afler they are named, either party fails to produce the horseB as above stated, the party failing shall be considered as hav- ing forfeited. "I will also run four of the got of Boston, in Tost stakes, two, three aud four-mile heats, over the Metairie course, New Orleans, for ten or twenty thousand dollars a side in each race— twn-mile heats, on the 24th day of March next; three-mile heats on the 16th day of April, and four-mile heatB on the 24th day of April. Or, "I will run over Newmarket course, two-mile heats, l*2th day of June; three-mile heatB 17th day of June, and four- mile heats 24th day of June, subject to the conditions and obligations as in the first two propositions. Or, "I will name the same four horses for five thousand dol- lars for an 'inside stake' on the four-mile day of the Metairie m-eling, which will come on the Gth, 7th or 8th of April. The precise day to be published two weeks previous to the race. One horse to start on each side, and to be named at the post. "Should all the propositions be taken by an acoeptor nam- ing the same horses for each race, I will name the same four Hostous; bnt should different parties take the propositions, with changes ot horses, as only four Bostons are to be named, the lir-t acceptor shall have the preference, unless one party accepts the three races with the same horses at two, three and four-mile heats, when the preference will be given to him. "No acoepfanco will be valid unless the forfeit money, 25 per cent., aocompaoieBit. In the p p race the whole amount of the race money must be deposited. My forfeit money is any amount of money to run for. If 'Tnrf was in down- right earnest, he may be able to select from amongst my propositions one that will suit his views. "These proposals will remain open until the 1st day of March ensuing, at which time an acceptance muBt be received in this city by the President of the Metairie Jockey Club; and, to prevent discussion, I now state that I will not accept any other proposals or modify the present.

Directly the bell rang Bonanzi went ont for the lead, and trotting fast led the Palo Alto stallion round the turn and passed the quarter a length io front, but Marvin, driving his horBe hard, was level at the half, and trotting like a double team they rounded the npper turn into the straight, where Hickok gradually closed up and kept Marvin busy until the wire was passed a scant length in front of Gracie. who was the same distance ahead of Bonanza. Time 2:26$. 'Standard Trotters" and Fairs. 'Roadsters" at the Racing at Bay District. Last Saturday afternoon a three horse trot took place at the Bay District track, Palo Alto's Carlisle winning in Btraight heats. He is a chestnut stallion foaled in 1886, by Piedmont dam Idabelle by Kysdyk's Hambletonian, grand- dam Godfrey Star by;Seeley's American Star. He had a three- yeS-old record of 2:281, which he to-day lowered to 2:26}. The officials were: Judges, MessrB. John Hughes, Fred Vaughan and W. H. Hinchman. Timekeepers, W. S. Wood, K. T.

After warming up they were soon tapped off with Bonanza slightly in front, but Carlisle, going right on, passed them both and at the eighth pole was two lengths in the lead and trotting in grand style, whs four lengths in front at the quar- ter and beingnrged on went the next half in 1:11, and slowing uo'sliehtly down the stretch went under the wire two lengths in front of Gracie S, who was one length ahead of Bonanza. Time 2:26}. , ,. , , a .. . With very little delay the tno were dispatched on their iournev Carlisle, gradually drawing away, passed the quar- ter a length and a half to the goo3, with Bonanza two lengths behind Gracie. Bonanza gradually closed np to Gracie, and at tie s.x furlongs both were a length behind Carhslr. and with each challenging him down the home stretch the chest- nut son of Piedmont had all his work cut out to tie his previous heat, finishing half a length in front of Gracie S., Mr. P. J. Shafter, in a communication to the Breeder and Sportsman of June 29th, entered a protest against a stand- ard bred horse not being allowed to compete at the State Fair jn the Roadster class, and Mr. G. W. Hancock, one of the Directors of that institution, in language more "pointed" than necessary, replies that the Roadster class was made for "the man who is breeding up. " Mr. Shafter, be it premised, had made the point that, "excluding the standard bred trotter," floor competition aims to restore the "dung-hill trotter," aud is virtually "turning your back on the intelli- gent breeding and development of a hundred years." It seems to the writer that the arguments of both of the gentlemen are rather faulty. It cannot be denied that by proper selection aud proper handling and training the very best of roadsters can be secured from among the "standard" breed of horses; but is the raising of "roadsters" what "standard" horses are bred and trained for? Even Mr. Shafter will admit that such is neither his nor anybody's else purpose. Neither he nor any other breeder invests in and trains his standard stallions or mares for "roadster" purposes exclusively, until he discovers, or sometimes wrongly thinks he discovers, that they will not be faBt enough for the track. In this event he goes to work to undo a considerable portion of the track education; that portion, for instance, which inculcates "taking hold of the belt" and "to do or die" to "git thaT," may do very well for a harem scarem sin- gle driver on a hard road, but is scarcely the kind of "road- ster" we want before us when driving our wives and children, and still less when it is a matter of preference and comfort that our sweethearts should handle the lines. The horse and his speed in such an event are liable to* interfere in more ways than one; none of this foolishness (on the part of our "roadster," of course) is wanted, merely because another fellow is coming up behind at a little fas'er gait than ours. We want that fellow in front of us, not just behind, and a good roadster should not spoil our calculations. " If asked to select a model roadster, we should search for a horse of style and carriage, evengaited and eventempered, with size, power and speed sufficient to trot all day before a buggy, his driver (and mate), at a four-minute gait, over a road hard in places and soft in others, with an occasional up and downhill, with the ability here and there to glide into a 2:50 to 3 minute gait, or a trifle faster, when hitched to a lighter weight. We should want him to do this without Tacking himself or the buggy to pieces, and omitting a trial of strength and endurance as between his lower jaw and the driver's hrms when called upon to beat three minutes or even come down as low as a 40 gait. How many ex track horses are there that would fill the bill? I am, of course, not speaking of the "gentleman's road- ster," an animal with different qualifications altogether from the "roadster." Speed and great speed is as essential with the former as it is uncalled for with the latter class; style and carriage are a secondary consideration with him. Given the size and speed, there is not one man in a thousand but for the pleasure of letting others get his dust, would sacrifice beauty, style and carriage. The gentleman's roadster, in other words, may be said to be the perfection of training and gait as attained by the trotter — i. e., a track horse. No breeder of roadsters could possibly afford to sacrifice size, style and carriaga either in his stallion or among his mares; no breeder of "standard trotters" (deny it or not as he may) but will blind himself to the lack of these and to the existence of many other defects, provided he can secure speed or a producer of speed. In short, a breeder of stand- ard trotters is breeding for speed; hence, he should be forced to exhibit in the class he claims his horses to belong to, and they should be judged in a class where their success or failure to produce speed is a primary qualification. If the writer's view of the subject be correct, then Mr. Shatter's point above alluded to is not well token, and his objection should not be sustained; but even that does not justify Mr. Hancock's most extraordinary reply and explana- tion that "the Toadster class is made for the man who is breeding up." The writer has already endeavored to show that the road- ster should properly form and have a class of its own and need not therefore repeat those reasons. If Mr. Hancock's view be correct, then the Directors have made an awful blunder is not stipulating as one of the conditions of entry to the class named what stock exhibited therein shall be re- stricted to the non-standard get of standard Bires or dams, as it is more than plausible to suppose that no man can breed up by breeding dunghill to dunghill (to use the gentleman's expression.) It is true that if the writer proposed to breed roadsters, he would undoubtedly select a standard bred sire for his stud; not because of the name, nor of the speed he might transmit, but because, granted the necessary qualifications for a road- ster were present in the individual, and had been in his anoestors, all of whoso breeding was known and recorded for several generations, the impressiveneas of such a stallion would undoubtedly be greater than that of a cross bred stal- lion and much safer to trust than that of one whose breed, ing was doubtful or unknown, even though the latter two might in every other respect be equal to tbe standard bred- The samoargument.it is admitted, would apply to stan- dard mares being used for a similar reason, should the breeder so select; but as no breeder of standarJ horses ever did, ever does, or ever will so select until he finds the speed is not there, he should not be allowed lo enter in another class, any more than a lot of light draft horses saould be allowed to show as general purpose stock merely because the exhibitor finds he will be beaten by competition in weight and other qualifica- cations in the draft ring. There is one qualification, however, iu tho roadster olasB cond'tions of the State Fair which it seems to tbe writer shou'd not be there. The condition alluded to callB for spee I. Speed is certainly no detriment, bat it should not be essential. A 2:30 horse under this condition would as shown on a smooth track.be sure to get away with a 2:50 horse: hitch them to buggies in the road and the 2:30 prize taker might knock himself all to pieceB in the first quarter of a mile, unless booted from hoof to arm (which roadsters should not be), whilst the 2:50 horse might travel all day without ever touching a hair. Now, boots or no shoes, which one would a reasonable man select for a roadster? and which of these, boors or no shoes, would travel the longest road? If there be one class, other than its own, where they might be admitted, I should say let standard trotters compete with the general purpose horses, there being no such breed of horses in existence. The general purpose class, in fact, should be done away with and replaced by a sweepstakes class in which roadsters, standard trotters and carriage horBes might compete with each other, stipulating that no aged horse admitted thereto Bhall measure above or below specified numbers of hands, or weigh more or less than Btated weights when in fair working condition. Speed should not be con- sidered at all unless all other qualifications are equal. Folio. Racing at Chico. On the 4th inst. several races were given at Cbico by the track management, the first event being a mile and a quarter dash. There were three entries: M. McCrimmon's blk g Menlo; James Dowell's b g Jem Mace; P. A. Brouse's b g Sir Charles. Menlo won easily in 2:15.

Pro. Sage Brush Trotting Nursery. Carson Citt, July 3, 1889. . Vallejo, Cal,, July 3, 1889. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Yours in regard to formiDg a Pacific Coast Trotting Association at hand. My opinion is that it would be a good thing to form an associa- tion of our own on this side, but I think they should recog- nize both the National and American Associations. It would keep all membership fees at home and save long delays in correspondence. I should think that all trotting associations on the Pacific Slope and Rocky Mountains would prefer join- ing this association, for all business would then be transacted nearer home. Respectfully, B. C. Holly. Santa Rosa Track. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The special races at the Santa Rosa track on the 4th of July brought a good attend- ance. The lessee, W. B. Sanborn, made attractive prepare, tions, and a fair proportion of the gentler sex witnessed the afternoon's sport. First came off the contest between Pat Carroll's Inkerman and Mark L., entered by Sanborn, mile heats, two in three, for §200. Inkerman had the call in the pools, with lively betting. The favorite won in two consecu- tive heats, in 59 seconds. Then followed the twenty-mile contest between F. F. Derrick of Vallejo and Ben Scoville of Santa Rosa, S150 a aide, each allowed four horses, to change every mile. The contest was as much of dexterity in mount- as in the speed of the horses, and in this accomplishment Scoville was more expert. He finished the twenty miles in 55 minutes, with easy effort the last, half of the distance, leaving his competitor more than a mile behind. The sport was not strictly racing, but it was entertaining to the spectators, and this was all the occasion required. It was the national chief holiday, and there was not the regular celebration in town. Mr. Sanborn made provision for the enjoyment of the citizens, and he did it well. The wind-up was a foot race of 100 yards between the young Santa Rosa spinster, son of City Marshal Lowrey, and Newton Cook, of local celebrity, for a handsome gold meial, offered by Chief Grissam of the Santa Rosa Fire Depart- ment. Young Lowrey won the race in tbe indifferent time of 103 seconds. Early in the afternoon he was beaten in a 100 yards race, run at Kronke's Park, by Adams, the Petaluma favorite, whom he had defeated at the Firemen's tournament here a few weeks ago, by a mis-step just at the finish— time, 103 seconds. The impression prevailed that the race had been fixed, as nothing but tbe trip of Lowery lost him the race. The purse was 8-100, and the betting very sharp. Ev- idently, Lowery lost the race by the accident. It is lik that another race between tbe parties will be arranged. Saota Rosa track is being put in tip-fop condition for Angust race week. The stables are filling np with and individuals of much note in the State, and ex< sport is promised. Sanborn understands his business. Santa Rosa, July 0, 1889. An 26 %lxt fpmder Mitt gpottsmm. July 13 Grim's Gossip. The bay mare Electioneer Maid, by Electioneer, died at F. G. Babeock's farm near Hornellsville, N. Y-, recently. Mr. A. T. Hatoh has sent his stallion Admiro to the Pleas- anton track to be prepared for a record. The Hon. H. M. La Roe will act as presiding and starting judge at Petaluma during the fair to be held in August nest. The will of the late Gen. W. T. Withers provides that his sou W. T. Withers Jr., Bhall curry on the husiness of Fair- lawu Farm at Lexington, Ky. Sir Geo. Chetwynd has resigned from the English Jockey Glub and his resignation has been accepted. What will he do now? . Capt Griffin got a bargain iu the blaok four-year-old Al- tamont mare at Frank Malone's sale. With only a few weekB driving she has shown a forty gait. A typographical error caused us to say last week that the yearling bv Ban Fox, out of Queen, sold at the Haggin sale for $600, it" should have been $6,000. A glance at the repoit from the Secretary of the American Association, shows that the Eureka Jockey Club and Fresno Soceity are both enforcing the rules. AI Farrow last week ran a trial at Sacramento in 1:424 with his shoes on. The boy was very light, but the pbr- formauce shows that the crack has not lost his pace. Tea Tray is now running with blinkers and cotton stuffed io his ears- Billy Lakeland always has something up his sleeve to enable him to briDg a horse to the post. The Napa Agricultural Sooiety advertise for bids for all the privileges at the forthcoming fair to be held at Napa. Here may be a chance to make a nice sum on a small outlay. Henrv Vaughau left this city for Chicago, last Monday, to pnrchas'e cattle and draft horses. He sayB he will cleanup all the local talent at the fairs this fall, if he has luck on his trip. L. C. Lee, the pacer, who figured out here for several seasons and made bis record of 2:15, at the Bay Distriot track in 1S37. is now being prepared for the Montana Cir- cnit after a successful season in the stud. Charley Mirvin says that Carlisle, who last Saturday trot- ted three heats inside 2:27, would have been sold for $1,500 if he could have got it last year. He was driven without a check as nearly all the Palo Alto trotters are. "While it is reported that Budd Doble may have Clingstone and Guy thiB year Millard Saunders is still busy trainiDg them at'Cleveland, and gave Guy a mile in 2:17i, and Cling- stone one in 2:19$. Thursday afternoon of last week. The Buchanan Bros, of 609 Sacramento street, are manu- facturers of horse brushes of all descriptions, and make a specialty of Bponges, chamois skins and any quantity of small nicknacks needed every day around a stable. Give them a call. The Breeder's Gazette, which is more of an authority on cattle than on horses, says there is curiosity to know for whom B. C. Holly purchased Yolo Maid. It also says that Goldleaf will be the Pacitic Coast pacing phenomenon this season. One of our prominent Breeders has been for some time ne- gotiating with his agents in Australia, and it would not surprise me to see one, or even two, of the crack performers brought over here before next spring to put to the stud. Almont Patchen is slowly but surely regaining hiB old form. Dustin drove him last Saturday, at Oakland, the best heat he has bal this year, the full mile being readily done in 2:16J. On the same day his three-year-old J. R. trotted a Bplendid mile in 2:25£. W. M. Murrav ran his three.year old Robin Hood against Huntress and Montrose, at Chicago. The three -year-old finished a fair third — and than the astute owner was per- suaded to let his colt go to the Scoggan stable for the trifliog sum of $5000, Scoggan will regret it before Murray does. J. B. Haggin seems to be looking after Garrison's welfare. On Tuesday July 2od for the Realization Stakes, McLaugh- lin rode Salvator and Garrison was refused permission to ride againt him, and last Tuesday Isaac Murphy rode the crack three-year-old and Garrison this time rode Longstreet who finished second. Frank H. Burke is a happy man, for he has a four-year-old filly by Eros that was worked out a mile a few days ago in 2:26 2-5, and in three separate heats the game youngster went to the quarter pole in 32£ seconds I sincerely trust that Mr. Burke may be able to place her in the 2:20 clasB before the year closes. J. B. McDonald, Marysville, has Bold to D. Latham, for Senator Hearst, three fillies by Brigadier, 2;21J, dam by Acrobat {Norfolk — Black Maria), granddam by Rifleman. The lillies will go to the Glen Echo Ranch at Sunol, and will ahortly be joined there by other trotting bred mares, and a stud farm for trotters carried on. Old Daniel Lambert (31 years old), one of the beat rodb of Ethan Allen, died last week in Vermont. He had 34 of his get in the 2:30 lint, (Comee, 1:19.1, having the bPHt record), and a host of grandaons and grandaughters. During his service in the Btud he has got over 700 foals. He died from old age. It is rumored in Eastern racing oirclea that Senator Hearst offered Theo. Winters §35,000 for his horses in training. It must be taken cum grano snlis for Senator Hearst once (last fall) purchased the outfit, bnt owing to Borne misunderstand- ing did not take them, and the Senator iB not the kind of a man to make two bitB at a cherry. John Mackey has been bragging back East, that on the Rannho Del Paso, there ifl a trotting sire that can claim the p.ternity of 28 fonlrt out of 27 mares. That is nothing. I know a troiting stuliion in the State that bad two mares sent lo him last year and the pro luc<_- is four foals, two colts and wo lillies. \i Helena, Montana. Mr. Baker has sold to HardiokA h levins the oh m Ida Glenn by Glerjelm, dam Queen, for i 590, ulso to J. Hardiolc b f Sum Yum, three-year-old by Regent, dam by imp Tim- Blue for fSOO. E J. Baldwin has telegraphed to Isaac Murphy that he has no further use for his services. This gives "the black ■ de- mon" a chance to drink all he wants to. Aloha, Viente and Alalanta have been sent from the Santa Anita stock farm to Chicago to reinforce the Baldwin stringy All the yearlings bought by Chas. Reed at the Haggin sale were forD.H. Shults, the well known Gravesend trotting horse breeder. A. C. Dielz, of Oakland, has lost by death, a fine filly called Sabbette by Sable Wilkes, dam Olivette. She was valued at $2,500. Olivette will be bred back to Sable Wilkes. Mr. Ariel Lathrop's pacer is travelling very rapidly- He has onlv had slow work until a few days ago, when Omn Hickok "drove him a mile in 2 22J, and a half in 1:07. He is by Guy Wilses, dam Lucy, 2:14. M. Salisbury has purchase from Mr. Kirkendall, Mary Eagle (dam of Rancho 2:21) by America Clay, dam by Grey Eagle. Mary Eagle will be taken to Pleasanton and bred to Director next spring. The steamer Pomona brought down from Eureka, last Monday, four horses under Dan Hennessey's care belonging to Kelly & Samuels. Susie S, Sleepy Dick, Lida Fergupon and another also came down on the same boat, the trip be ing a very pleasant one. William Mcintosh's Peroberou stallion Oteele died last Saturday, from lung fever. He was purchased by Mr. Mo- Intosh for $2,000 after his importation from France by Fair- banks & Wilson, and has oarried off nearly all the premiums in Nevada and El Dorado Counties. About 600 persons went to Madera, Fresno county, on the Fourth, and on a ploughed up street in an annex of the town held races. Cyclone won the 600 yds. and repeat, Con- fidence the mile and Charlie Blaine the scrub race, every one leaving flat broke, the chuckaluck and gamblers being out in great force. Mr. W. H. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., hi g sold to Rundell and Newton, of Toledo, O., the bay two-yeai- old stallion Pacific Slope, 10124 (full brother to Sunny Slope, three-year-old record 2:29|) by sultan, 2:24, dam Dido record 2:23J, by Scotts Hiatoga; second dam Columbia (dam of Abbotsford 2:19A) by Columbus 95; third dam by Harris Hamhletonian 2. The Association whioh has been raoing at Guttenburg has been organized as the Hudson County Jockey Club, with Mr E. T. Paxton, President; S. Whitehead, Secretary; J. N. Crusius, Treasurer. The new mile track now building will be ready September, let. A Btand 45x250 feet will be built at a cost of $38,000, the contract having been awarded to John Y. McKane. Stables for 500 horses will be built. Matt Storn has returned from Eureka, having had an en- joyable time. He acted as starter in most of the races there, and gave great satisfaction. Matt speaks very highly of the treatment he received at the hands of the officers of the Jockey CTuh, all of whom tried their utmost to make his stay pleasant. The famous old turf performer and now equally celebrated mare Lucille Golddust, 2;16J, foaled a bay filly by Patron, 2:14 at the ForeBt City Farm two weeks ago. As the mare is already the dam of Lucille's Baby, 2:20;}, and Sprague Gold- dust, 2:16J, it would be a very difficult matter to put a price on the young miss in which her blood and ttiat of Patron is united. Mr. W. T. Jones, of Ballarat Australia, {now staying at Chislehurst), owner of Bravo, by Grand Flaneur out of The Ophan (6 yrs), has called for his horse to be sent to England. Bravo is a stamp of animal that wins Queen's Plates in the Colonies, and if he can be delivered in healthy condition there is a possibilty of him making a name for himself in the mother country. Antaeus, a bay two-year-old son of Sir Modred, won his second race on June 8th, at Randwiok, Sydney, N. S. W. He is the only Sir Modred that has started in Australia, and from a letter I received, he is a grand looking colt and runs like a regular stayer. The Colonials are dreadfully sore about losing Sir Mo Jred and say they won't be canght napping again. There is much complaint among the jockeys at Monmouth Park at the crowding done on the turns, especially at the homestretch. They say it may not amount to a foul, but Borne riders press the horse running next the raila bo hard that they have to pull out to prevent accidents. Ferhaps the judges will take cognizanoe and warn a few of the worst cases, they might at any rate station an official at the turns to keen an eye on them and report when necessary. After El Rio Rey's victory, Isaac Murphy said dog gone my skin, I don't see how you can beat him. He fell down at the post and carrying a welter weight, ran clean round them on the turn and finished strongly. The veteran trainer, Al- bert Cooper, said the waking up the colt got on the Lome stretch would do him a power of good, the next time he ran he would break away instead of loafing. Everv one is won- derfully impressed with the magnificent son of Noifolk, and predicts a glorious future for him oa the track. Mr. Marvin has written to J. H. Wallace the following: "I have worked Sunol three times fast the past week, and to-day she appears as sound bb ever she was." In his Monthly, Mr. Wallace says: "A youngster that trotB bb fast aB Sunol, is liable to snap something any day ; but the horse-paperB all over the coun- try should not have circulated the Btory that Sunol bad broken down until the report came from a reliable source." This is rough on rats, or more strictly speaking, ou unre liable reporters. lone Bp9nt the Fourth at Agricultural Park, baseball in the morning and racing in theafternoon am tiding the crowd.

The quarter mile and repeat for sad- dle horses was won by Al Clifton's Bunch Graas iu 24 aud 27 seconds. The racing at the new track at Westchester, will begin on Tuesday, August 20th and continue for ten days, to Satur- day, August 31st. During the ten days the club will give §86,500 in added money, no less than $1,000 being given in any purse, stake or handicap. The sensational day of the meeting will be Saturday, August 24th, on which day the Great Eolippe Stakes, for two-year-olds, and the New York Jockey Club Handicap with 85,000 added with $10,000added, are to be decided, the former having closed with 212 entries, and the latter with 110. Two of the races at the meeting are Deculiar in that the horses have to be ridden by maiden jock- eys. Dr. M. W. Hicks writes me aa follows: "I am feeling a little blue from the loss of a two-year-old colt Prompter, dam by Bucccaneer, the best colt I think I ever bred. This impels me to say that it is idle to attempt to calculate blood lines mathematically, and rate the racing or breedine qualities, of the individual on ihat basin. This fellow wbb (mathemati- cally) bnt one-sixteenth Bashaw, and one-fourth Blue Bull. Yet in his high form and tireless endurance, he was all Bashaw, and in his marvelous Bpeed and steadiness he was essentially Blue Bull. The multitude of other lines that he inherited in common with all trotters, were completely swallowed up and lost in those two dominant Btrains. There is no lack of horses at Honoluln, and it will be remembered that several years ago King Kalakaua Bent a commission over here to buy some trotting stock. Of course the messengers went to Kentucky, although they could have dona pretty wbll in California, which is much nearer home. and finally wound up by purchasing some very creditable representatives of the Almont family.— Breeders Gazette. Yes, and about the same time Harry Agnew of Honolulu, came to this State and shipped over a few California horses. When the racing season opened he won seven or eight r^ces, and as a consequence no more Kentucky horses have been purchased for the Sandwich Islands, as all buyers pro- cured what is wanted in the Golden State. We learn with regret that some four breeders will attend the mountain circnit. If they could do this without ne- glecting any part of the home circuit, we Bhould wish them to travel to every meeting on the coast; but, it seems to us, when the managers of the circnit here are straining every nerve, offering great inducements, and in bo doing taking great risk of financial Iofb in order tc build up its turf in- terests, our breeders scarcely do right in running after strange gods. A home turf will build up a home market, and a home market ib invariably the best and most profitable market. The District Associations have been increasing their purses of late years, and this season four of them comprising the grand circuit, have stricken out the clause which enabled them heretofore to hold less than five to fill aud deducting a proportionate amount of the purse. True, they may hold less than five to 611; but. if they do so, not one cent is de- ducted from the purse. If, now, our breeders and horsemen generally propose to go off to other circuits leaving only a few entries in each olass, does it not stand to reason, the as- sociations will either have to re-instate that most objection- able of 'strings, ' reduce their purses, or do both? We com- mend this suggestion of protecting aud encouraging home in- terests to our horsemen. Royalty in Spain no longer takes pleasure in the pomp and splendour such as used to Burround it even bo recently i ■ the reign of Queen Isabella. Thus it is that the streets ox Aranjuez and its parks and gardens have do longer the bustle and life whioh we see portrayed in old engravings and pic- tures. Except on Sundays, the Madrilenos seldom go down to trespass on the privacy and seclusion of the Queen. SI e often drives her son to the Royal stud establishments, and tu the equally important breeding establishment of Duke Fer- nun Nunez at La Flamenca. In both places some of the best racehorses of Great Britian have been reared and trained— by Englishmen, however, King Alphon^o used to take great pride in hia stud and racehorses, and under a "turf pseudonym," he won many races at Madrid and Se- ville. Indeed, he used to back his own horseB, and not al- ways for small stakes either. Porterville, Tulare County, had a two days' meeting last week, which were highly successful in every way. On Wednesday, July 3rd, G. W. Pressy's b m Baby won the half mile and repeat (5 starters) in straight heats, 53 and 54 seconds, distancing two of her competitors in the first heat, and the other two in the second. The two year-old trot was won by John Kearney's Nellie Alta in 3:10 and 3:18$. The last race, trotting one mile, was won by Joe Rood's Judge Kyle in 2:43, 2:39.V and 2:39i. On the "Fourth the free-for- all trot was won by H. H Helmau's Emma Temple, who won the first, fourth and fifth heats. The third was wou by A. T. Jackson's Ed, who made a dead heat with the winner in the second; time, 2:34$; 2:31$; 2:30}; 2:30}; 2:34: The quarter-mile dash for saddle horses was won in a hand canter by H. Conner's r m Birdie; time, 28 J The quarter mile and repeat was a very pretty race, J. M. Crawford's Thad Stevens taking both heats in 24 secouds. The mile trot for three year olds brought three horses to the wire, each of whom won a heat, and the race was postponed until Friday, when N. Anderson's Bay Wilkes won iu three minutes. Dr. KlenohV. S of Santa Rosa, found and condemned three horses owned in the neighborhood of Oleum, Marin Co., affiicted with the glanders. The horses were killed and burned by their Portuguese owner. It behooves every coun- try in the State to have in their service a competent veteri- nary surg^ou to prevent the spread of this or similar disas- trous diseases throughout the valuable equine aud bovine stock now owned in this State. If a county finds the ex- pense onerous, let its Board of Supervisors agree to sha e the cost with that of an adjoining county whose interests are identical. The fortunate discovery in this instauce, was due to the 'perversity' (?) of the village bla ksmith, who refused to let one of them into hia shop until the owner was obliged to call in competent authority to decide whether or not it was glandor*. The State owes a vote of thanks to that blacksmith. We tru^t thia will come under the eye of Geo. Waterman, and that he will take the trouble to investigate its truth or falsity. He will then he better posted as to whether or not it is go id polioy to veto an appropriation and bills to create a veterinary officer or board or whether the millions that are invested in fine stock are to be left at the mercy of a careless Portuguese and a Board of Health that kuows no more about aoirnal diseases and their treatment lhau it does about what hobby the man in the moon happens to ride. lifl 1889 llxje gmte rntfi, g porlsnratr. 27 Answers to CcrresDondents.

A B and C trot mile heats 3 in 5, first and second money. A wins firBt heat, B wins second, and distanced A. B wine third and distanced O in the fourth heat. What horse is entitled to second money? Answer. — Rule 36 of" the National Trotting Association says: Section 1. — A horse must win a majority of the heats which are required by the conditions of the race to be enti- tled to the purse or stakes; bat if a horse shall have distanced all competitors in one heat the race will then he concluded, and such horBe shall receive the entire purse and stakes con- tended for. Sec. 3. — The foregoing provisions shall always apply in such cases, unless otherwise stated in the published condi- tions of the race. As both horses were distanced, although in different heats, B will receive both monies unless it was specified in the con- ditions of the race that if a horse distance the field he shall receive first money only. Subscriber, and twenty others. In a half-mile heat race at Eureka, at the end of the third heat the horses stand as follows: Sleepy Dick 1 3 3 SusieS 2 0 1 Lida Ferguson .3 0 2 Has Sleeepy Dick the right to start in the fourth heat? Answer — The rule that covers the ground reads as follows: "In a race of heats, best two in three, a horse that actu- ally -wins two heats, or distances the field, wins the race. A horse running in two consecutive hea' s, without winning or running a dead hear, can not again start in the race. A dead heat is a heat against every hor?e in the race except those making it, and in their favor to the extent only of allowing them to start in the next two heats, unless the race is decided, or they are distanced the next two ensuing heats. When a race is won by two heats, the preference of the horses is determined by the place they get in the second. If more than two heats are run, the horses starting for the deciding heat shall alone be placed." San Jose Entries- The Horses On 'Which Second Payments are Made.

Twenty years ago every great daily newspaper in America had its special staff of sporting writers who were men having an intimate knowledge of the branches of sport abont which they wrote. TheBe gentlemen were known all over the country as authorities on their special lines, and the papers with which they were connected reaped the benefit of a large patronage from people interested in sporting events, and who looked to these gentlemen for information, and who knew that they could rely implicitly on the accuracy of all that came from their pens. The turf reporter knew all about the records of famous hordes, the pedigrees of tne winners of nearly every import- ant event, and they were forced to keep a systematized record of all the weights, winners, jockeys and owners to enable them to answer the hundreds of questions that were constantly being asked on these subjects. The yachting editor knew all about time allowances, sail area, hull displacement, lines, and all the other technical points of yachts and yacht racing. The coursing and held editor had to know how dogs were trained, entered and slipped, how they were judged, how field trials were held; he had to keep the run of pedigrees, be a good judge of a dog, and if he could give a subscriber a receipt for any dog disease, so much the better. He had to be a thorough sporttman because he was writing for sports- men who would detect instantly if he were a pretender. But during the past twenty years a great change haB been made in the sporting departments of the daily press. The daily newspapers no longer care to write for the edification of sportsmen, but bend all their energies to preparing sensa- tional accounts of such events as will interest the large class of people who do not understand such things, and take no interest in any sporting event that falls short of the sensa- tional. The reader having no technical knowledge, accuracy of statement is not demanded from the writer; no respect is paid to the opinions of the sportsman's fraternity. The daily press reports of sporting events teem with the most ludicrous errors, but their managers save the expense of employing competent specialists, and so long as the police- reporter can string together a few words about a horse race or a yachting regatta, his work is accepted. If yachtsmen feel disgusted with the silly nonsense, or if horsemen are aunoyed at the absurdities printed about their stables, they are met with the answer, "We are running a paper for the general public and not to please any special class." Having been somewhat identified with sportng affairs for a good many years, and being in the newspaper business, it has been my fortune to meet a great many ot those ill-placed reporters, and to have been amnsed with the production of their pens. In justice to them I must say I never knew an instance where the work for whioh they were not competent was undertaken, without a protest from them, and I have always found that they toiled hard to make correct reports, and were grateful for any assistance offered them. But you cannot teach a man the whole art of a sport in a few minutes cnat. any more than you can make a man an expert shot by allowing him to shoot a rifle once. My first acquaintance with the uninformed reporter at a sporting event was on the occasion of the great Occident race at Sacramento. He was from the Chronicle of this city and he asked me if I would tell him what "best three in five to harness," which he found printed on the programme, meant. The Chronicle at that time had a competent turf writer in its employ, and I a -iked in some surprise why the work of report- ing the race had been confided to one who did not know anything about the sport. The reply was that Mr. De Young did not want a technical report, but something that every one would read. I gave the gentleman the asked for information and all through the race he kept me busy explaining the various points. "With the exception of classing Occident as a "horse*' in- stead of a gelding, and saying that the race was "run" in- stead of trotted, he did not make many glaring errors, for he was a smart fellow and bad sense enough to confine himself to the picturesque and leave details alone. It was also a Chronicle man that I had the pleasure of meeting at a cricket match played here between the "All Eng- land Eleven" that was on its way to Australia, and a scratch team of the Occident and other clubs. He said that the city editor had insisted on his reporting the match despite bis protest that he knew nothing about the game. His re- port next day was the most picturesque account of the game that I ever had the pleasure of reading. He spoke off Cover- point" as "the man who covered the point," the "backs'op" was called "the catcher," and in recording a "hit to-leg" he gravely Announced to the readers of the paper that th« ball glanced from the batsman's leg and for that reason was called a "leg hit." He declared that the bowler pitched the ball and insisted that "mid wicket on" was the shortstop. Year6ago the Call employed Charley Yale to write about yachting affairs and kept up a splendid column in that line. But the able editor did not see the sense in having so much technical t-tuff and the day the Con O'Connor won her first race the intelligent Call man on the umpires boat was a gen- tleman who did not know a jib stay from a topsail yard schooner, nor could he tell the difference between a spinaker and a balloon jib. Coming home the captain of the O'Con- nor jibed her and next day the Call informed its readers that the "^ibes" of his opponents caused the captain to alter his course. One of the funniest things I ever saw in the way of a ridiculous error in a so-called sporting column appeared in this city about four weeks ago, when a leading newspaper gravely informed its readers that a horse was by Electioneer out of Crown Point, and it also started two mares Bnd a geld- iup in a stallion stake. Last February, in its account of a coursing match at New- ark, the Examiner had the following: — The pack of greyhounds assembled yesterday for the coursing match at Newark, was one of the finest evrr snen in tl'iii State. The esteemed Examiner reporter did not know that gray- hounds do not course in packs; and there were several other things he did not know, or he would not have written that "Fly" killed the bars, and therefore won the match. But to him, the lead from slips, turn, wrench, go byp, trip, kill, kill of merit, and other points that count in a coursing matoh are an unknown language. In every daily newspaper published in this city I have seen horses described as running in trotting races, and only three weeks ago I read that "the race was 'run' in the pres- ence of but few spectators" when it was really trotted. When football under the Rugbv rules was introduced here by the formation of a couple of clubs here and a club at the State University, the daily press afforded a great deal of amusement to those versed in the technicalities of the game. "Full backs," "three-quarter backs," and "half backs" were mixed up in inextricable confusion, while in their struggles to explain the meanings of such terms as "on" side,*' "touch," "touch down" and "scrimmage," the dailv press experts fairly outdid all previous records for blundering. Even in prize tights, which are Dot tonched bv reputable sporting journals, and of which the dailv papers make a special feature, incompetent men are employed. At th« Choynski-Corbett fight a reporter undertook to describe all the blows and stops in a hot rally that was fought so fast that had he ten pairs of eves and hands, instead of a single pair, he could not have got all the movements down on paper, and all he succeeded in doing was to show every reader who possessed the slighest knowledge of boxing that the writer did not know anything about the subject. Every sportsman knows the meaning of the shooting ex- pression "wiped his eye." It was used by a daily paper in San Francisco some time ago as though it meant that one shooter had actually applied his handkerchief to the eye of another to remove some foreign substance therefrom.

Horses at Rest. There are some carious facts, says an exchange, about the disposition of horses to lie down. To a hard-working horse repose is almost as great a necessity as good food, but tired as he may be he is often shy about lying down even when a nice clean bed of straw is provided for him. The writer once rode a mare seventy miles in a single day. The stable in which she was put for the night was as comfortable in every way as it could be made, yet she stood the whole night through. She ate her oats and hay and then went to sleep, leaning forward witli her breast against the manger. There are horses that have never been seen to lie down, and if they have ever done so it was only for a short time, and at an hour when they were hot likely to be seen. No marks have ever been discovered upon iheir coats which would in- dicate that they had been lying down. A horse is recalled now that occupied for fifteen years, from the time he was two years old, the first stall in grandfather's stable. Up to the honrhedied no one had ever seen him lying, down aDd several timeB after wearisome drives of about eight or ten hours, a watch was placed on him to see if during the night he would lie down; but be was never caught in that position, and he could not be tempted to recline by the sweetest and cleanest of bedding. He died literally upon his feet. He was taken sick, and in giving him a drench from a loug-necked bottle, with his head pulled up to a beam, he suddenly fell back and expired. Unless a horse lies down regularly his rest cannot be com- plete, and his joints and siDews stiffen; and while it is true that horses that sleep in a standing position continue to work for many years, it is equally true that they would continue to work for many years longer, and perform their work much better, if they rested naturally. Young horses from a country stable may refuse to lay down when put into a stable in town, and the habit may be confirmed unless inducements are offered. Horses can he taught to lie down, and they can also be taught to be as neat and cleanly in their habile si individuals. It is a very rare thing for horses afflicted with a disease that superinduces fever to lie dowo. They will stand up until nature becomes completely exhausted, and their limbs refuse to sustain them. They have an instinct which teaches them that if they lie down it may be difficult for them to get upon their feet again. A sick horse, because of his evident knowl- edge of his own condition and his inability to commnnicate the symptoms and the nature of it, commends himself to human sympathy more than any other animal. Horses have a horror of death, and especially dread death in their own kind. A horse may be sick in company with a stableful of horses, and the others will not notice him at all, but the moment he dies there is consternation throughout the entire stable. A horse may be absolutely fearless of every inanimate thing that comes to his notice, bat will be frightened beyond measure at the sight of one of his own kind lying dead by the roadside. AL.

The fact is well recognized Irom New Brunswick to Duluth that of the fish of the namaycush species some are white- tieshed and some have flesh of a salmon color, and that both varieties (if such they be) live side by side in the same wa- ters, and, in the same waters, are rarely, if ever distinguish- able from each other, until killed and cut open, writes Geo. H. Christy of Pittsburgh, Pa. So far as my reading goes, our scientists have made no ef- fort to explain or account for this singular fact. Professor Agassiz, when writing of Sahno salar, ascribed the peculiar tiut of color of its flesh to "the absorption of the pigments of crabs and shrimps eaten by the tish" during their life in the sea. He also comments on the variations found to exist in the flesh-tints of the Balmon trout (Sahno sebapo), and at- tributes it to the quality of (:ammaridae which they have de- voured. But I am not aware that Professor Agassiz makes any effort to account for the existence of white-meated and red-meated namaycush side by side in the same waters. Professor Goode merely mentions the fact that the salmon tint is sometimes found in fish of inland waters, bat he does not attempt to account for its presence, and still less does he attempt to explain why in fish of the same variety, and in the same waters, the flesh is in some cases of one color, and in others of another. If our trained naturalists have any way of accounting for this peculiarity as developed under these conditioDB, I would be glad to know what it is. Mr. Cheney— and among anglers there is no better author- ity than he— is the only angler I have come across who at- tempts to account for this well-known but singular fact. In an article contributed by him to the Angler in April, 1S86, when speaking of the presence of both white-meated and red-meated lake trout in the chain lakes, he says: "It has been settled beyond doubt that the red tinge is caused by food." Again, in an article published not long ago in Forest and Stream, he says: "Occasionally there is caught in Lake George a trout shorter and deeper than his fellows of equal weight, with real salmon-colored flesh, and with creamy curds between his flesh flakeB. Such a tish has devoted his whole mind to his diet, and good living has changed his appearance; simply this aud nothing more." Now, I am not an ichthyologist, and perhaps no "great shakes" of a fisherman, but I humbly beg leave to dissent from the proposition that of two fish, otherwise identically alike, living together in the same waters, on food equally ac- cessible to both, both wild by nature, and neither of them artificially influenced or dealt with— that the one, by "de- voting his whole mind to his diet" and selecting his food, will cause his own flesh to be of a red-tinted or salmon color, and the other, by making some other food seleotion, or no selection at all, will cause his own flesh to be of a clear white color. And this is exactly what I understand Mr. Cheney to mean. Much in the same line is the statement of Izaak Walton: "There is also a river Id Arabia of which all the sheep that drink thereof have their wool turned into a Ver- million color." One statement looks to be about as reason- ably true as the other. I do not deny that the exterior coloring of fish is changed by exterior surroundings. For the present I will not deny that a fish normally white-meated may be removed to waters where, in consequence of a necessary change of food, its flesh may take on a tint which, after some generations, may eventually become a hereditary trait. I do not deny that the white meat of every young fish may, with advancing years, turn into meat more or less highly tinted. I am perfectly aware tbat in the Salmo sebago the depth or intensity of the tint varies at different times or under different conditions. But that two fish of like descent, through a supposed com- mon line of anceBtry of unknown antiquity, of the same age, living together in the same waters their ancestors have al- ways lived in, and on food equally accessible to both and equally well adapted (so far as known) to the appetite and sustenance of both — that two such tish, on beiug killed, should be found to have flesh of so distinctively different colors, is a fact which, as it seeniB to me, has not yet been accounted for. To my apprehension it would be quite as easy for a "lion to change its skin or a leopord its spots" as for a fish to change the color of its own flesh by a voluntary selection of its own food. Animals wild by nature, and not subject to any of the influences of domestication, nor to any artiticial restraint, nor artificially fed, do not select their food. They take it as they can get it, and, if hungry, let none go by. Fishes are wild animals. They prey on each other, just as the wild beasts of the forest do. They eat when they are hungry — provided they can find anything to eat — and, being hungry, they will eat anything they can get hold of which they like. And out of the whole range of animal ex- istence with which man haB to do — clams and oysters ex- cepted— we would not he far out of the way iu saying that fishes have the least mental power capable of being used in the selection, choice and rejection of food. And on this point Mr. Wells, one of our beet authorities, in his "Ameri- can Salmon Fisbermun," page 90, says: "The mental range of a fish is of the most limited de- scription, If more tban four impulses— physical comfort, self-preservation, hunger uud the desire to reproduce— gov- ern their conduct I have yet to hear it suggested. Under precisely similar circumstances and conditions, odc may stay at home and another go a-lishing. But when we descend the Hcale of the animal kingdom to the low nervous development and narrow life of a fish, mental acton of so high an order, and so individual as caprice, seemB to me out of tbe question. Under precisely similar circumstances and conditions, I be- lieve every fish of a (jiven kind will act in precisely the same way." 'the italics are my own. The exceedingly low mentality of a tish must, as it seems to me, exclude all idea of voluntary food-Helectiou. Bat if, as Mr. Cnouey Hays, "it has been set- tled beyond doubt," will not he "r aurae uue else give us the facts by which it haa been settled? If they have been pub- lished, I bave unfortunately [ailed to Hee them. The qai b- tion to be "settled beyond doubt" is simply thin: Out of a school of suy a thousand mature Sulveliuus namayoash will a certain proportion, say twenty per cent, voluntarily rejeot and refuse to purtake of certain kiuds of food accessible to ail and which the other eighty per cont. eat of freely? Is it true that a cortnin proportion, say twenty per cent., will partake only of certain choice or dainty kinds of food, and that tbey will go hungry, aH St. Paul once promised in do, rather than defile themselves with "anything common or u in-lean !" And, while on the food quest ion. I have been amused at noticing the various kinds of food which, beiug selected, ate supposed to make red or tinted flesh. Agascus, whone au- thority cannot be questioned, attributed the red color of tbe fleBh of Salmo Balar (which, as a rule, feed but little, if at all, in fresh water) to "the pigments of crabs and shrimps eaten by the fish" during their life in tbe sea. In this he was fol- lowed by Goode, but, so far aB I know, ProfeBsor Goode makes no effort to account for the red flesh of the Salmo salar oi Salmo sebago, when living only in fresh water. Ap- parently he excludes the idea that food has anything to do with it, for he says repeatedly that "when salmon livein the lakes they prey upon minnows and other small fishes" — and these latter are certainly not overcharged with the "pig- ments" referred to. In fact, bo far aB they have any effect at all, they are commonlv supposed to produce white meat in the eaters thereof. Next, Mr. Cheney, in his article of April, 1886, first tells ub that the food which, in fresh waters, does tbe work is "the fresh-water shrimp and perhaps the caddis." Further along, in the same article, he ascribes the same effect to "insect and larvre food." Hence, to account for tbe red meat, we have: 1. Marine "crabs and shrimps."— [Agassiz. 2. "Minnows and other small fishes."— [Goode. 3. "Fresh-water shrimp and perhaps caddis."- [Cheney. 4. "Insect and larvae food." — [Cheney. Now, if all theBe foods will produce in the eaters thereof the tiuted flesh referred to, why are not all the fish of the namajcush species red-meated? Why the necessity of in- voking selection at all? And, lastly, why is it that, of two fish otherwise poBBessing no characteristic differences, one is white-meated and the other red-meated? Willsomebody who knows please tell ns? And, if ncbody knows, will somebody who has facilities for Buoh investigations please ascertain the reason, if he can, aud let us know the result? Hints for Trout Fishing. As a rule the angler more enjoys the expert taking of game fish than the abundance of his catch. Still the feast upon the fish ifl a mateiial quantity in the sport. To take and kill to wastefulness is no better than to destroy by explosives or by poisons. The true angler, lover of the sport and with epicurean appreciation of the game, while prideful of the contents of his creel, is mindful of the fair and equal righte which pertain to the domain of angliDg— which has its limits and significance from generalized fishing. The angler fishes for the sport there is in it, in manifestation of his skill, which is the prideful part; and for the substantial luxury which the dished trophies of his day's delight afford himself and friends. The fisher does his work with the market and the marketing. The difference is akin to tbat between the deer hunter who loves the hunt and sparingly delights in it, and the skin hunter who kills to make a slaughter, solely with purpose to replenish his purse. These distinctions apply to every order of admirable sport, fin, fur and feather. The study of the angler has the spur of ambition to excel- lence. It is an achievement to land the gamy, wary, resist- ing, fighting shiner, in pool and in current, through ripples and in rapids, despite its struggles, its dartB and doubling, its desperate^ shoots and fiantic leaps. The angling is more exciting, the capture is more animating, the feast is the ulti- mation of the gratification; yet the pioud recollection of the occasion and the prowess dwell and seem in the memory as warr ors recount deeds of battle, and as the gueBts of Horace recalled the charms and feasts at the Sabine farm, with Maceasnas to adorn the flow of soul and grace the banquet- ing. Mere fishing is a trade. The vicious have perverted it into something tainted with fraud, with the disposition to gain through criminality — as in the use of poisons and of explosives. The fishermen who regularly toil in the legiti- mate pursuit, with lines and bait, nets and poles, seiDes and wiers, are pvactioally honest fishermen, and although they adopt every device which the cunning and art of man can invent, and catch all the tish of every food variety they can, still they do not wantouly take to willfully destroy, merely to boast the opportnity, as some do who profess to be amateur fishers, but are no better than wolves in the sheep fold which kill in the lust of killing. The angler is distinguished from others who fish, as the sportsman of the woods is from the skin-hunter who slaugh- ters indiscriminately and to excess; as the game pursuer of hill and field and fen is from the pot hunter who takes every advantage to get the bird, and the professional who shoots to supply the market. Tne angler is fond of the sport and with honest pride regards the quality of his catch and not the quantity. He adopts and pursues only approved and legiti- mate methods. As a matter of course, in angling, the tackle is an important matter, but still more important is the bait — in general sense. Technically, the fly is not classed as bait. Any bait is legitimate. That which is most alluring and best serves the purpose is the bait to be chosen, whether fly, worm, or insect— anything, in short. Angling is every season proving more and more tentative. Ab with the arts and sciences it has its sphere of progress, with room all the time to that improvement which culminates iu perfection, af- ter which the complete example should be adopted instead of the experimenting for the impossible, beyond which cannot result in anything except measurable success or regretful failure. Trout-fishing most absorbs the expert angler's study and attention. In the States eastward, especially along the North Atlantic coast, trout fishing has its thousands of en- thusiastic devotees every year. Stream and lakes in which trout are found are searched for as prospectors search for the precious metals, and to the favorite chosen resorts thous- ands go every season from the populous cities and the towns to indulge in the exhilarating sport. The inquiry ocurs — What is best for bait? Authorities differ. Localities aud habitats are dissimilar, aud tbe trout of the stream has its peculiarities not found in the trout of the lake. Experience and discernment supply the answer. For many years skilled anglers have generally determined in favor of the fly; some will try no other allurement for the speckled shining beau- ties. The expert angler may be called au artist iu the use of the fly in fishing for trout. Some never accomplish this fine art in the delightful sport. Possibly the best skilled may overrate the excellence of the fly. In some cases there may be a be tier method. Live and learn, is good precopt. In the New York Times of recent dato is a lesson to good ef- fect, uud as tbis is the season of angling for trout, aud thp lesson is applicable to California the siime as to the States of the Atlantic, enough of it is copied to point the argument and present the method. Hero it is: A New-Yorker who is au expert fly fisherman and au an- gler of no little note, awoke to a rude realization while fish- ing the streams of Sussex County, N. J , iu company with a young farmer. It was early in the season. So the country- man, also an export fly fisherman, used worms. The New- Yorker, however, persisted in whipping the stream that they were fishing with bis haokles, professors, and abbeys, in spite of his skill, at tbe end of an hour not oven a rise had gladdened bis eyoB, while tbe farmer had seven big iish glistening on the grnsa in his creel. Finally the New-Yorker removed, with a sigh, hie Hies and put in their places a iproat book and a big worm. At tbe end of the next hour, however, he had caught only two, while his companion had secured a dozen. An investigation on the part of the farmer revealed that the New-Yorker had run a portion of his gut as well as the whole hook through the worm so that it looked like a piece of twig and worked this dead bait on the surface of the water like a fly. Then and there the city fisherman admitted his hypocrisy and learned of the real an- gler the rudiments of successful bait fishing. Trout may be caught with almost any kind of worm, al- though the common garden or angle worm or grub are the most irresistible. Here are two ways of pnttiDg them on a hook, (sproat preferred,) and in both the worm remains alive: The old way is entering the hook a little above the middle and imbedding tbe point and barb in the head of tbe worm so that the tail flows ont free and clear in the water. The other and most successfnl way is to insert the point and barb of tbe hook securely in the middle of the worm, thus allowing both the head and tail to wiggle clear in the water. It is by no means necessary, as the unsophisticated suppose, to cover with the worm the entire hook. With the hook properly baited and the necessity of keeeping it near the bottom of the stream borne in mind one is ready to fish unless the stream is very swift, and then a small lead must be put on about a foot from the hook. A small split buckshot will do, or two or three No. 6 shot answer admirably. Under no circum- stances should the trout be struck until he has swallowed the loose end of the worm, which fact will be shown by the sud- den running away of the line. Strike before, and ten chances to one the fish escapes unscathed with a choice bit of the worm in his mouth. After a little experience one can with almost certainty determine the right moment to strike. Similar in many respects to worn fishing is that with live bait or minnow. These can be usually found in the small springs and feeders of a trout brook, and.are to be caught with any kind of net whose meshes are small. When used as live bait they must be hooked through the lips so that they can swim about unimpeded. In dead fishing the hook and a portion of the eutis passed through the mouth aud out by way of the gills, so that the body of the hook can be tied with thin silk or white thread to the minnow's tail. The live bait dropped gently into a pool where lurk some monarch of the stream, or the dead bait kept moving gently in the current as is alive, is not to be resisted by the ordinary sagacious fish. No time must be allowed the trout as in worm fishing, but the firm, quick moment of the angler's wrist must hook the fish the moment his mouth closes on bait or he escapes. The nearest approached to fly fishing is, in the bait line, angling with grasshoppers or insects. Of grasshoppers, the big yellow-belled ones that can be found in aoy meadow are the best, and any kind of insect will do, though some anglers consider a bumble bee, a barn fly, or cricket the most taking. This kind of bait must be put on so as to look as natural as possible. CANOEING. Oakland Canoe Club. Of all the sportB tbat are indulged in for recreation or pleasure, none is more healthful or excitiDg than yachting, aud though the element of danger is more imminent than in most forms of sport, it but adds zest to the pleasure and keeps one ever alert and interest awake— when it can be said of a man that he is a good yachtman and able to handle a sail in a blow, you may be sure that he has pluck, energy and good executive ability. Yachting, like all other sports, has its divisions, and each build of boat has its special devotees, some for the cat boat, some for the big "single stiokers,"such as have competed for international honors over the American Cup, some for the schooner rig and others for each of the many rigs and models, but undoubtedly that branoh of the sport which demands greatest nerve and the most skillful skipper is modern canoeing; the word modern is used for fear some one might confound it with that historic means of water locomotion of the Indian, it is as different from tbat as the modern reapeating rifle is from the old flint-lock musket. An Indian would be as much out of place in a canoe of to- day as an ordinary sailor would be in a racing shell. The un- initiated would naturally think that a paddle was a necessary adjunct and the actual motive power, assisted by brawny muscle, it is far otherwise, for they have so many different sails, rigs and masts that only an expert could properly de- scribe them. The Oakland Canoe Club, whose boat bouse is on the Estuary, near the railroad bridge, is one of the most complete and successful organizations of the kind in the country. The active membership is at present thirty, among which are a number of young men prominent iu financial aud business circles, in both Oakland and San Francisco, who, by occa- sional devotion to this healthful spoit keep their bodies strong and their heads clear. The officers for the present year are: Commander, W. W, Blow, who might be called the pioneer oi canoeing on the coast, and who still is its most ardent champion and skillful devotee; vice-Commodore, A. D. Harrison; Secretary, Henry M. Landsberger and Treasurer, Yv\ G. Morrow. Members who bave visit other similar clubs in the East state that the local boat and club rooms are the most complete in the country in their management and appointments. The house at present can accommodate over thirty canoes many of which have been constructed with as much care as to ihe material used and the lines of model as was exercised over the Volunteer. Caneoing is essentially a rich man's sport, for each member owns his own boat, and some mem- bers own several, and the cost of many of them will run up into the hundreds of dollars each. Among the best aud fastest of the cauoes are Commodore Blow's Mystic, vice- Commodore Harrison's Frolic, Mr. Olson's Dart and Bouita Mr. Darneal's Conchita, Mr. Morrow's Whisper and Mr. Mathews Ontario ribbed canoe Mab. There is but one other cauoe olub on the coaBt that being at Portland, OregoD. But although many efforts have been made, and all kinds of iuducements offored to get up a series of races between the two olubs, the Portland olub has not had enough confidence to accept a challenge. A badge, presented by a member is contested for every three mouths and the winner is heralded as the champion aud the possessor of the badge for the fol- lowing three mouths. At present Mr. Harrison aud his Fro- lic are the envy of the balance of the club- Commodore Blow is making some ohanges in the rig of the Mystic and having a new center-board built and hopes at the next regatta, which will take place Sunday. July 21st, to wrest the cham- pionship frotu the Frolic. The social life of tbe club is very pleasent, their rooms being fitted up with taste and ladies often receive the hospitalities of the club. A kitchen is at- tached aud iu connection with a well filled larder, mauy a delightful lunch is enjoyed. Quite frequently excursions are made to points in the bay at a distance, tbe party camping out over night and some more venturesome than the others take a sail beyond the Golden Gate. 1889 2*Ixe tjvccdcr and jipr/rtsmaix. 29 THEJKTN, California Wine Shooting Club. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The July meeting of the club held on Sunday last at San Brnno was a slimly attended one, reasons being that so mauy members are away on their summer vacations, bnt if the attendance was not large the sport was fine, and was keenly enjoyed by all those present. Doctor Knowles was at his best, and killed eleven of a hard string, with perfect judgment, using his seoond barrel but little. The second medal fell to the Secretary. Mr. F. B. Norton took third medal, losing a hard hit bird in the tenth round. The feature of the day was Mr. Osborn's score of sis. Osborn is looked upon as one of the best and most reliable shots of the club, but either because the gun whic i he used shot too open a pattern or for some other reason, he failed to dowD his birds, although cutting them all. Mr. Robert Liddle was not in the form shown in Jane. He waited too long on his birds. The Bcores were: At 12 birds, HurliDeham. For clab medals. First, Doctor S. E. Knowles.

Readers will remember that some weeks ago in this column it was suggested that a shooting match between teams from the various clubs of the coast might be arranged. Since that time the matter has been taken in hand by Major S. I. Kel- logg and other active trap shots, and the match is as good as settled, to be shot off at San Jose io October at the meeting of the State Sportsman's Association. A letter recently writ- ten by Major Kellogg to Mr. C. E. Mack, of Sacramento, gives information of general interest, aDd we publish it by permission. Major Kellogg writes: — San Francisco, July 1st, 18S9. C. E. Mack, Jr.— Bear. Sir, Your favor of the 30th nit. is at hand. Day by day the prospects for the big live-bird Bhoot brighten. Teams Irom so far off as San Diego aDd Oregon desire to send in men and guns. This can be attribut- ed to the facts that it is to be a shoot "for blood, " with large entrance fees, few men to the team, and live birds. We can count positively nn teams from Oregon, Sacramento, San Diego, Stockton, Vacaville. San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco (two), and possibly one from Nevada and two each from Sac- ramento and Oakland. This would make from eight to twelve teams of five men each — say ten teams or fifty men at twenty birds, making 1,000 birds and SI. 000 to be divided. It might be advisable to increase the entrance fee to $25 per man, and decrease the teams to four each, or possibly tn six or eight men. Our trophy is under way. and promises tO be a fine affair and worth winning. I have outlined our intentions to Mr. Briggs, of the Breeder and Sportsman, who promises to keep trap shooters posted as to this shoot. By the way, what have we left undone? You say in your letter: "I think, however, the conditions will cause some displeasure which may wear off," eto. How would you pop- ularize the conditions? Let us have your ideas; we want them, and will seriouslv consider anything you suggest. Please answer at once and let me know yoor points. p4 s. — Could we not arrange a little preliminary shoot between Sacramento and San Francisco— fay ten men on a aide at twenty live birds, for a little pot?

On Wednesday last Mr. Sebreiber and Sergeant Nash, both superior rifle shots left for Novato deer hunting. C. D. Ladd and party visited Black Point, Sonoma County, and started two bucks, but could not get fair shots. The mosquitoes were plenty, and so voracious that at inter- vals the hounds were compelled to lie do*n and roll to free themselves of the pests. A party from Petaluma hunted Pacheco Ridge on Monday- last, and saw two bucks, but the mosquitoes drove them to camp before 9 o'clock, and tbe sport was given up. The London Shooting Times reproduces, with credit, our picture of Mr. William Graham, Mr. Graham has reached his home ere this and we venture to remind bim that he has a lot of friends here who would like to hear from him through the Breeder and Sportsman. On Tuesday hist Will Brown and Joe Wasser hunted on lit. Tamalpais, and started Ave deer in Steep Ravine, but failed to come within shooting dis'ance, and on the follow- ing day they agaio tried Steep Ravine, but failed to find, and went over to Bootjack, where they put out two deer without killing, however. Mr. G. C. Cleather, the courteous and popular manager of the Spratts Patent (America) Limited, writes us this week that the company has felt obliged to erect boarding and sale kennels. So many requests have come to board dogs tbat commodious kennels have been erected at Northvale, N. J , and will be superintended by Mr. William Tallman, very widely known and favorably as a competent kennel man and Uainer. The assistant, who will reside upon the premises will be Mr. Michael Murphy, a reliable and faithful man. Those who wish to send their dogs, either for board or ulti- mate sale, can ship them to the place mentioned, and for full particulars may apply to Spratts Patent (America) at 239 East 56th Street, New York City. Quoting our comments upon the work of Mr. William Graham at the P. K. C- show the London Stock-Keeper and Fanciers Chronicle remarkB: Thus reports the American Breeder and Sportsman of Mr. Wm. Graham's appearance in the ring at the Pacifc Kennel Club's Show. That we are satisfied to read such con- firmation of our own opinion may be taken for granted.

Some notes abuit the trotting dog, which is now an at- traction in Canada, may be of interest. The dog "Doc" is owned by a twelve-year-old boy named Willie Ketchnm, who lives at Brighton, Ontario, Canada, "Doc" is an Irish red set- ter, not quite two years old, of good form and great substance. His gait to harcess is a square trot, and he makes such good time as to defeat all the trotting ponies matched against him. He is driven to sulky, and in his last match trotted half-mile heats best two in three against the two fastest po- nies that could be found in Canada. Doc trotted without a skip, "winning in straight heats, over a rather soft track, sev- eral races haviug already been done over it. Times, 1:04, 2:05. The dog is open for a match against any twelve-hands pony. During a recent visit to Los Angeles an opportunity was afforded io visit the home of that notable pointer man, Mr. Robert T. Vandevort. Mr. Vandevorfc kindly invited this chronicler, Mr. A. B. Truman, and H. P. Rennie to Olivi- wood, a suburb of Los Angeles, some ten miles from the heart of the city. A half hour's ride by train and the doggy men were deposited near the beautiful country house rtcently built by Mr. Vandevort. A commodious, elegantly situated, richly finished and furnished home, surrounded by groves of oranges, olives and other fruits. Near the foot of the Sierra Madre range of mountains, and supplied with water from mountain springe, the home seemed all that even the most fastidious could desire. The visitors had hardly been seated before Mr. Vandevort introduced his young pointers, Billy, three years old, by Don— Drab, and a bitch two years old, of the same breeding. Billy is a stocky dog, much resembling famous old Don, except that he is white and lemon, and a bit higher ou the leg. Billy shows all the vim, pluck and bid — ability of old Don, and while he han not had much chance to develope, is yet pronounced by Mr. Vandevort a worthy suc- cessor to his sire. The bitch is lighter all over, a very nice level mover, handsome and gamy. Both will be taken to Bakerstield about January 1st, and given a mouth of con- tinuous work on birds, which will probably under their owner's skillful direction, make them tip top workers. After a charming luncheon, and a half hours chat with father and mother Vandevort, than whom two more hale, hearty and kindly folks cannot be imagined, the visitors were shown the grave where old Don lies, with paling and headstone, as be- fit his rare excellence and fame. Tnen the rockaway and high stepper were utilized in driving all about Olivewood and Pasadena, through miles of well kept roads, by hundreds of the most beautiful homes it has ever b_jen our lot to see. The houaes, all modern in style, nicely kept and surrounded by lawns, shrubberies and fruit groves all in richest foliage and free from weeds and evidences of neglect. Toppirg occasional emininces, as far as eye cou'd reach, the valley of San Gabriel seemed one vast village, all of rich design and bearing every ihdication of affluence. But even such pleas- ure as association with rare Vandevort had to end, and the party were safely deposited at Pasadena depot for the 4 p. m. train to return to Los Angeles and the small army of qneru- lous exhibitors at the bench show. It is little wonder that Mr. Vandevort can only with difficulty be pursuaded to leave his charming home to endure the ills and bufferings incident to field trial judging, and attendance at the P. K. C.fchows. No greater temptation to repnse, reflection and utter disre- gard of the bustle and too often fruitless activity of metro- politan life could be offered, than the banana shaded veran- dahs, looped in Marechul Neils and ceiled in smilax, of the Vandevort home iu fragrant Olivewood. An incident of th« Los Angeles trip recently made was a day spent at Bakerstield with Messrs W. E. Houghton, C. E. Lechner. H. L. Borgwardt, Jr.. A. T. Lightner and D. A. Leonard, all of whom have made their titles clear to mansions in the regard of tbe field trial men of California. A' fast at the New Southern Hotel, and a stroll over the used up au hour or two of the morning, and it v posed that a drive by the trial grounds be taken, i plenty quails were. The suggestion met unanimous ■a\ and Leonard was soon at hand with a team that won 'Z\ ©Stfi no panatjaoo 30 %ht grjeeto un& gpoxUmm. July 13 THE WEEKLY @FeedeF and Sportsman. JAMES P.

In March Mr. Joseph tfairn Simpson retired and sold his inten st to his two part- lers, ami recently one of them, Mr. James P. Kerr, Las pur- chased the whole paper. The genial and perennial Major lex P. Waugh, with whom I was sometimes wout to pur- f e the elusive billurd-ball at the Astor House before he went to the golden phore, and with whom I spent many pleasant tours in San Franoisoo last winter, is still on the s'aff, and he makes the paper breezy and newsy. Brother Waugh is a great institution wherever he is, and I should like to enter him in the Evening World fish story competi- tion. He'd win in a canter. The field department of the Breedeb is safe in Dr. Briggs' hands, and no one wishes the whole combination, individually and collectively, greater for- tune than the undersigned.

A good finish to a good week, and a fine, full pro- gramme. Does Breeding Trotters Pay? A consideration of this question will more and more lead to the conclusion that breeding trotters is among the most profitable, as it is one of the most prideful pur- suits in which niea embark. It requires large capital to establish a breeding farm, and the fine discrimination and sound judgment essential to the purpose are impor- tant factois. Investigation and study are needed to ascertaiu the nature and hereditary qualities of the noted equine lines; the powers and peculiarities of the individ- ual, the results of crosses, and the tendency of parent- age, and all else which concerns the breeding and com- mingling of blood. But those whose wealth enables them to establish and maintain large breeding farms do not depend upon newspaper advice or suggestions lor information of the business. It is mainly to the farmers and others who use horses in their occupations, and have the advantages and means to unite breeding of stock with their other pursuits, that the consideration of the subject is suggested. It will grow with deliberation. Industries and entemrises are judged according to the degree and measure of success wrought as they have continued and progressed. The farming of half a cen- tury ago has advanced from its comparatively primitive methods and insignificant earnings to methods embrac_ ing a high degree of art, combined with science and greater profit in the result. Similarly in mechanics and professions. As invention and broader intelligence per. vade, mankind progresses to superior excellence. The accumulation of wealth begets new'ideas of living, and the progressive rivalry of communities spurs men to fur- ther accomplishment. The plain dwelling has made way for the elegant home; the clumsy wagon is displaced for the handsome vehicles of the period; there is more dis- play and expenditure in dress- and in everything that men and women have concern there is development of taste, and s.yle, and surroundings. The common is giv- ing way to the better or grander or magnificent; the inferior to the superior. Among these manifestations of progress in taste and style is the taste for fine horses. The farmer incurs the heavy outlay of costly agrioul. tural implements, worked by steam, because he is sure of ultimate better results and increased profit over the old fashioned husbandry by manual labor. The man- ufacturer refits his factory at great cost, because he feels confident that the increased capacity and better qualities will bring him larger trade and more enrich him. The mechanic and artisan provide themselves with expensive inventions to facilitate their wcrk and enlarge their sphere of business. Similarly does the merchant or the dealer secure for his delivery wagons horses of better quality at more cost. All find profit and benefit besides in relinquishing the old system and adopting the new, in striving toward the best. In business pursuits strict methods and economy are pursued. In the recreations and pleasures of life come the lavish flow, the costly display, the gratification of the taste regardless of cost. It is an error that fewer men are rich than formerly. The fact is there are greater accumulations of wealth in the hands of a larger number than ever before, and that there is a larger proportion of rich men, of men in comfortable circumstances, possessed of a competency, and well-to-do, than at any former period, in this country. There are a large number of the actually poor and of paupers; but the reason of this is obvious and palpable. Many are brought to this condi- tion by their own fault, their improvidences, or their recklessness. Tens of thousands are landed upon our shores from Europe every year to swell the number already here. They are the poor of Europe, the paupers of foreign lands, which make the bad showing that demagogues magnify. But as to wealth itself, there never was so much in the country; there was never greater prosperity; there has never been the equal of this period in enterprises and means which lead to the acquisition of riches and of great wealth. This broadly scattered and diffused wealth, distributed among the much larger number than ever before en- joyed it, is the cause and support of two variant and dis- similar, though not opposing or conflicting conditions in community. The overplus of capital compels the quest for new fields for its safe employment and investment, ;ts profitable and beneficial use; also, it excites the dis- position aDd enables its possessor to indulge in the grat- ification of his desires, even to extravagance. Mankind naturally have fanoy for all the domestic animals. As horses and dogs are of these the most companionable and most devoted to man, they are his favorites. As men acquire riches they indulge this fondness. Very naturally a fine horse or a fine dog is preferred to one of low degree. The price is a matter of small considera- tion where fancy and desire are the prompters and the purse is of less care. There are now a greater number of men who can afford to buy fine horses than ever there has been; consequently more fine horses will be bought, and the supply is not likely to exceed the demand, no 1889 %\xz fkjctfa atxtt gyoxismm. 31 matter how many embark in the pursuit of breeding to sustain the market. The fondness for fine horses is not a "craze" of a day or a generation, as was that for tulips, for the moris mul- ticaulis, for party hats, etc. In every age of the world, every people blessed with knowledge of the horse — the savages of the plains, the nomads of the desert, the most enlightened — have prized tne noble animal. It is only within the century that attention has been devoted in our own country to the superior breeding of ilie horse, and the ordinary common, low bred Dorse was the horse of all classes alike. Only the rich and the piideful took the care and paid the price to obtain fine horsss; only i he sagacious breeder has the foresight to import thor- oughbreds, to breed for raciDg mainly. But thorough- breds are of less value to the farmer and the people gen- erally than the fine trotters, which ate roadsters, and make the best of horses for driving and pleasuring, for farm use and city work. As the breeding is improved the quality of the horse is bettered. Forty years back there was not in the entire United States a breeding farm devoted to the production of trot- ters. Now there are breeding farms in nearly every State; fully from two hundred to three hundred in all; and although more attention than ever before is devoted to thoroughbreds, still greater attention is devoted to the breeding of trotters. Many millions of dollars are in- vested in the pursuit, and among the owners of these grand farms are the first men of the country in public and in private life — the first in character and public estimation, the first in wealth and great benevolence, the first in intelligence and enterprise. California contains a generous proportion — the farms at Palo Alto, at San Mateo, at Del Paso, at Santa Anita, at Hosemeade, at St. Miguel, the Holly Farm, at Pleasanton, and others. The oldest of these is within fifteen years of age, yet from them has been produced upwards of one hundred trotters 1n the 2:30 class, some of which have records as low as 2:12. Besides these are the many which have developed into finest roadsters and horses for pleasure driving, val- uable for city use, for the farm, for general work. The other Pacific States are similarly progressing. In the States east breeding farms are increasing and prosper- ing. More pride in horses is taken, and much better prices are realized for the horses. It is gratifying to contemplate that the horses bred in California com- mand, the highest prices at the large sales in New York and other cities on that side. This is proof of the quali- ty, proof of the profit in the breeding. The farmer appreciates that it is a false economy to give twenty dollars for a poor farm implement which will neither answer his purpose nor return bim its cost; that the true economy is to pay for a first rate imple- ment which will richly compensate by its worth. The same with his live stock — to breed in cattle for the best for the dairy, or for beef; in sheep, for the best in the fleece, or for mutton; in swine, for the best in pork. So, in horses, to breed for the superior qualities which make horses most valuable for use or most prized at sale. A visit to the farming counties and to the interior marketing towns of the State will satisfy the visitor that the breeding and purchase and use of fine and good horses is becoming more and better appreciated by all. Every well-to-do farmer has his fast roadsters for his own prideful driving, in team or single; his handsome pair for his wife and his sons and daughters to drive to town. The town notables likewise have their speedy trotter and natty rig to take the road from any they meet. To the express wagons and all in delivery line, good horses are attached. Plugs have no call — only the poorest and meanest have them. The demand is for good, fine, superior, speedy, fast horses, for trotters with record low in the turf figures. It pays to raise horses of these qualities. Every farmer can raise his own, and for sale. The preliminary race was the Introduction Stake /or which the entries were Hot Spur, Laura Gardner, McCoruiack, Sbiner, Welcome, Jack Brady and Applause, but only the last three faced the starter. Brady and Welcome alternated as choice in the pools, Applause having but poor support, this being his tirst race of the season. As usual Welcome wore the "rogues badge," which seemed to cause surprise among many of the spectators, they not being used to see horses run in blinkers. Jack Brady got the best of the p -nd off by a clear open length, which he kept almost to the half, where "Welcome was given her head and rapidly passed the DaviB entry. From there oat the race was virtually over, as Welcome was never headed, winning easily, Brady second, with Applause a good third. Entries to the Fresno $20,000 Purse close on the 15th inst. Racing: at Eureka. The reorganized Jockey Tuesday Club of .Eureka, gave I their initial meeting, commencing July 2nd. The day was all that could be wished for, and as a consequence, the at- tendance waslarger than usoal on a tirst day, bnt still not what it should have been, nor what the spoit warranted. Horsemen from all over the State were present, and many of the horses that contested at the last meeting of the Pacific Coast BK od Horse Association had been taken np to contest for toe rich purses, hung up by the Eoreka Club. Many improvements had been made by the Executive Committee, and the spectators as well as the horsemen were prolific in praise, for what had been done for their additional comfort. The pool selling and mutual pools, were under the charge of Al Leach, of San Francisco, that gentleman giving general satisfaction to the patrons of "the bux " To add to the brilliancy of the occasion the ladies stand was well tilled, the elegant costumes lending a charm to the scene. The mem- bers of the association did everything in their power to make the visit of strangers a pleasant one and there is not a person who attended but will try to be present at the nest meeting. The judges of the day were Messrs. Roberts, Devoy, Mur- phy and Pine, SUMMARY. 1.— Introduction Stake— For all ages.

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

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

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

There waB a good deal of argument as to which horse should start in the last heat, and finally the judges allowed all three, which luckily did not affect the race; according to rule 84.

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

Sleepy Dick was made favorite, and readily accounted for the first he.U in :49. The second heat was productive of a slashing race all the way, the two mares (Susie S. and Lida) ronninf a dead heat, Dick only a short length off in 0:48J. The third heat was won cleverly by Susie S. in 50 seconds, with Dick again third. The last race of the meeting was a trotting race, with Elec- tric, Steinway and Waldstein. Waldstein sold for $20 to the field $8. After a long delay scoring, Steinway went off in front, and with the favorite breaking badly Eleotric passed Steinway and led to the three-quarter pole, when she broke and Steinway passed her and won the heat, Electric second and Waldstein, who had not gained any of his lost ground, a bad third. Time 2:40. WaldBtein sold for $4U to the field S32. Steinway was in front when the bell rang, and trotting steadily won handily, while Waldstein, who was very erratic, finished second. Time 2:38. Steinway now sold a big favorite, bringing $10 to the others' §8. WaldBtein took the lead and pole shortly after the start, and held it throughout the race, opening a wide but evenly divided gap between the other two, and taking the heat in 2:35|-. Electric trotted very well, bnt the company was too g od, and she was run in to save distance. Steinway went to pieces and it was only by running him the last quarter that he managed to save his distance. After some delibera* tion the judges gave the heat and race to Waldstein and dis- tanced the other two. SUMMARY. Trotting. 2:411 class for Humboldt horses.

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

Penn's Grove, July 6, 1889. 32 %lxe gmfe awd gpaxtsmzn. July 13 slnoting over, and the party titted out with guns, 2*2 calibre r fles and a load of ammiiDition. Going down, the roa i lead- ing direct to the school hoase was followed, and when return- ing the new avenne running by the red house on section 17, where the trials began two years ago, was used. The cover on the reserved sections is good, stock having been kept off and the grasses permitted to grow luxuriantly, the result being that the quails from surrounding sections have been attracted and have nested upon the land until they are almo6t too abundant. Not less than thirty bevies use on sections 17 and IS, and as shooters will be religiously ex- cluded, the field Irialers can relv upon the best possible con- ditions in January next. The ditches running through the reserved sections will all have water turned into them at intervals, so that the birds will have no reason to wander. Those who have atteuded the trials hitherto can appreciate the delight felt by the writer in being upon that familiar ground, but one thing being lacking, and that the presence of Joe, Henry and George Bassford, Post, J. G. Elwards, Foote, Rose, Meriweather, Scbreiber, Llnville, Payne, Taft, Vandevort, Shatter, Chipman. Barney, Haas. Douham, and all the rest. Every one of those who has attended former trials is remembered by the Knights of the Trigger with high regard, and numberless questions were asked and answered about them — the hope being invariably expressed that they would all be spared to be present at the next trials. After inspection of the grounds, a little drive wsb made to a ranch owned by Mr. K. E. Hoaghton, a brother to that marvel- lously enthusiastic, energetic and likeable sportsman, W. E. Hooghton. to whose effectiveness and generosity Bakersfield owes its prominence as a field trial center. At the ranch the major domo, Mr. J. P. James, an old time reader of the Breeder and Sportsman, welcomed the p^rty, and immedi- ately turned this scribe loose in the ponltry yard, witn carte blanche to knock over as many young chickens as he thought necessary to furnish forth a dinner table. The scribe killed some half dozen or so, which would have been plenty but for Mr. Borgwardt's absent-mindedness. When the chickenR were perfectly broiled and served and placed before Borg- wardt, that royal good fellow was in a reverie, and continued taking pieces of chicken until none were left, when bread, cucumbers, claret, milk, tea, and everything else were ab- sorbed by the Snllivdnesque diner, who had to be abruptly enjoined or he would have gone on indefinitely. The only excuse he offered was that he didn't feel very well, and was thinking of something. While waiting for luncheon, Hough- ton, Ed. Lechner. Borgwardt and Lightutr went over into an adjacent field and killed five dozen dove?, and after the meal the shooting was resumed, the result being the addition of three dozens to the bag. Toward evening the party drove back to Bakersfield along Uniou Avenue, a twe've-urile drive recently constructed, which runs by the red house ou sec- tion 17. Many of the business men of Bakersfield were met, all of whom joined in expressions of pleasure at the success of the Knights of the Trigger and the field trials. The dailies of Sunday announced the destruction of Bak" ersfield by fire. Thirteen blocks, mostly business houses, were destroyed, not a single store or warehouse being left. The new hotel and the Arlington were both burned, as well as the Weill block, where so many sportsmen have roomed. Every restaurant, grocery and market was obliterated and a large number of houses. Theloss aggregated $1,250,000, with $324,000 insurance. The elegantly fitted roomB of the Knights of the Trigger, just finished with every necessary for comfort and convenience, were burned, not a thing being saved. Among the sportsmen the heaviest losers were the Lechner Brother*, Houghton and Lightuer and H. L. Borgwardt, Jr. The>oergy and recuperative power of the Bakersfield com- munity was well shown on the day after the fire. No appeal fur assistance was Bent out, but the citizens whose homes were Dot buroed apportioned the homeless among them for shelter. Messrs. Haggin and Carr and Miller and Lux gave orders to supply all wants in the way of food, and rebuilding was at once begun. Two days after the fire twenty-six tem- porary structures were up and open for business. Bdkers- rield is bound to be a great business centre, and the fire, while disastrous, cannot stop the push and foresight of the men who have ;made a paradise of that portion of Kern County. It is a pleasure to know that no lives were lost, and to the sportsmen particularly many expression j of sympathy and regret are conveyed.

Ventura Racing News. A very nierry crowd weut down to Ventura on the 4tb to witness the races there. The ride down, of thirty miles, was a glorious one, for the train goes along tlie seashore all the way; and we sit in the comfortable cars and look out into the broad sea, and those whose poetical spirits are enchanted by the scene before them, with joyous souls sing out: " The sea.! tbe sea! tbe open sea! The blue, the fresh, the ever free! Without a mark, without a bound, It runneth the earth's wide regions round; It plays witb the clouds; it mocks tbe skies; Or like a cradled creature lies " When we arrived at Ventura we had but half an hour iu which to eat our lunch. We all hurried through it, aud then down to the track we went. There were women, men and children cheering the proud horses as they came on the track. The first race was for named horses, and the five that came out to trot were too many for the narrow half- mile track of Ventura. Of the five horses that started, four of them were sired by A. W. Richmond. All of them had plenty of speed, but surely they had not been very well nandled, for they broke when going slow, and when urged a little they would sulk. Ben Harrison was very quiet, and he was well driven by L. J. Rose, Jr. The pools sold: Ben Harrison, $10.00; Roseo Conkling, $10.00, and the field $3 00. The g g. Romeo was very stubborn, and his driver, James Mack, wanted to withdraw him, but the judges told him to do the best he could with the horse; so, after scoring a dozen times — it was trying on our patience —the horses went off to a fair start. Ben Harrison led to the first quarter, then Conkling came up with a rush and found him. The two horses trotted like a double team, but under the wire Conkling's head got there first; Harrison second; Barney third; Stertengund and Romeo away be- hind. Time, 2:45 The track is very heavy aud uneven. Second heat was a repetition of the first tine— 2:45. Third heat was easily won by Conkling; Barney second; Ben Harrison third; time, 2:48. Roico Conkling, that won the race, is a fine five-year-old gelding by A. W. Richmond. The dam is untraced. "and Mr Baertel gave fifty dollars for her. Coukling has a fine open gait and is true, aud they say that he is game. The second race was a very closely contested one from wire to wire. Pools sold: Eli, by A. w. Richmond $10.00; Maben, $8.00, and Werie Wilkes, by Guy Wilkes, for $2 00. It did not take long to send< it', to a good start, the three two-year-olds. Eli and Maben trotted nicely, for nearly the whole m le, and they came under the wire head and head, and though many declare,! that Maben had WOU the licit, t lie judges derided' it a dead heat. The mile was trotted in 3:12. Very good time considering the dark and the green colts. Werte Wilkes made a poor show- ing Be hopper] around and came in away behind. The Bports rushed to the pool stand and Eli sold for $10 00- Mal.m, SlIMlll ;itl,l Wilkes S I . I II . This lent was :iU.. very closely contested, and Eli managed to get the heat, Maben making a bad break just be tore reaching the wire. Time 3:05. Tbe third heat was very interesting. Eli aud Maben trotted head and heel all around and twenty yards from the wire. Eli broke and run iu ahead. The judges gave the heat and race to Eli. Mauy thought that Maben won the race, but the judges gave it to Eh, and the Eli men were jubilant. The last heat was (rotted in 3:04. The third race caused grtat laughter, excitement and re- pentance. The horses that started were: G g by A. W. Richmond's Jeff, entertd by Frauk Treauor. G g by A. W. Richmond's Leon, entered by Leon Lehman. B h by A. W. Richmond, Richmond Jr.. entered by E Battery. * B. M. Lacer, Arabella, entered by I. F. Cooper. The betting on this race was spirited, Arabella selling for $10, Richmond for $S, and the field for S3. Arabella is a small brown mare owned in Santa Barbara and the boys from there were so certain that the mare could win, that they hung closely to the pool stand and placed their money on Arabella. It did not take the four long to get the word, go. Richmond led very easy all the way around. The brown mare broke. Cooper got tbe lines entangled in the wheels, but this little accident did not dismay the amateur jockey. He took them out and brought them down on the mare with a vengeance, but he was too late and Richmond won the heat in 2:48, Arabella second, Jeff third, aud Leon fourth. The Santa Paula boys were not at all discouraged. They wanted to bet $20 that Arabella would win tne next heat. Pools sold livelier than before, and when the horses came up for "go" the Arabella boys shouted themselves hoarse. The horses were sent off to a good start. Soon after they left the wire Arabella broke. Jeff broke and so did Leon. Rich- mond Jr. trotted aB he liked and won easily, time 2:48, Jeff 2nd., Arabella 3rd., and and Leon fourth. The shout- ing died away and you could hear Out the low murmur of the ocean. The loud wind ceased, and the high rollers dis- appeared . The third heat came at last. Arabella could outpace Jeff and Leon. Both settled down to trot and they crowded Rich- mond Jr. when Jeffs sulky strack the fence and sent the driver in the air. Leon won the heat, Richmond Jr., second, Arabella third aDd Jeff away behind trying to get away with the smashed sulky. When the drivers dismounted, Mrs. Cooper, wife of J. F. Cooper, came down from the grand stand and took possession of her mare Arabella. She de- clared that the mare was being abused and that she wouldn't let her Btart another heat. The crowd became again bois- terous. The judges were wrath and they swore that Arabella would start again. They ordered the marshal to take poses- sion of the mare, but Mrs. Cooper was determined, and final- ly the judges decided to give the mare to Mrs. Cooper and rule the mare off forever. The fourth heat and race was won by Rishmond Jr. Time, 2:44. Richmond Jr. is a level-headed gelding, and his dam is a fine thoroughbred mare sired by Bennode. Thus ended the races at Ventura. The unfortunate lowers are sorely dis- appointed, and the winners had never witnessed fairer and better races. Ventura Co. is progressing rapidly, for on every farm you will now find fine horses and mares. Chritman and Willough- by take great interest in horse racing and they are ever ready to assist. They have fine fillies that they are breeding to good trotters. J. Hill ha6 many fillies by Ben Wade and Wildidle that he ia breeding to trotters. Dewdrop, sired by Algona, is owned in Ventura County; so is a tine bred aud well proportioned son of Sultan. The President of the Ventara Driving Park Association, J. M. Kaiser, Esq., is a most enterprising and energetic gen- tleman, who takes great interest in horses, and tolwhom Ven- tura owes much for his indefatigable activity. Ventura track at present lb heavy and too narrow. There is sufficient land to make it a mile track, or they can widen the half-mile track and improve it wonderfully. They lack stalls and a roof on their grand stand. It made my heart joyous to look upon the beautiful black mare Dolly Dimple. She is a handsome mare. She has a noble face, kind eyes and a most gentle disposition. If Mr. Hill were to ask me what atallion I should breed her to, I would without any hesitancy suggest Enmeror of Norfolk. I have been kindly invited to take a trip through the northern part of Santa Barbara County, and I shall the first opportu- nity I have. I want to see J. M. Rochm's fine brown stallion sired bv A. W. Richmond, dam Monte Belle, she by Ten- brock, second dam Mary, dam of Tom Stout, record 2:24. Whe 1 1 sold the stallion to J. M. Rochiu he promised great speed. Merrit & Murray, of Santa Maria, have a fonr-year- old stallion by Electioneer, oalled Elector. They say that he is very fast aud trots and acts like the best sons of the great producer. He will give the stallions in tbe fall race a close call. My tip for thd stallion race is Don, Patricio. I have great faith in this gray stallion, and I am confident that Gns Walters will have the tiorse in tine condition for the race. I. K. Fiske, Esq., proprietor of Don Patricio, is a keen, level headed horseman, and if he starts Don Patricio iu the race the horse is veiy likely to win. Fourteen miles from the city of Santa Barbara is situated the loveliest stock farm in Southern California It contains six hundred acres, is well watered by a mountain stream, and one hundred acres of which can be irrigated in case of au extreme dry season. The farm is owned by a wealthy gentleman of Santa Barbara, who will stock it with five mares and a beantifnl brown stallion sired by Stamboul, dam Carrie B. by A. W. Richmond; second dam Siliau, she by Crichton. This gentleman means to purchase the finest and to breed exclusively for trotters. With the advantages that Santa Barbara climate has on all other counties, the colts raised and trained here will knock all previous records "silly." What have we raised in Santa Barbara that has shown speed and endurance, mauy may ask? "Well, we have raised one that has been trained by skillful hands, aud what did he do? He can pace, I really believe, in 2 flat, and his name is Arrow. When Arrow was brought from Los Angeles he was eight months, I believe. He was so poor, so sickly and sn small for his age, that no one thought that he would live. He was turned out, and when eighteen months old, we drove him into a corral and lassoed him, and in a few minutes he was a gelding. We turned him out and did not see him for three months. When he was two years old we brought him to Santa Barbara, aud broke him to harness. He had not been broken two months when we shod him to make a trotter of him. Eighteen ounces in front and eight behind, aud six ounce toe weights on each front foot. We did not know how to drive him. The climate did it all, and so will it be with every colt trained here. Why, Harry Stamboul, sired by Stamboul, will trot a mile in 2:12 when three years old, and his brother, by Alcazar, will trot in 2:10 when four years old. E. R. Den, the proud owner of Harry Stamboul, has also a hue three-year-old by Hock-Hocking, and also a very speedy filly by Wildidle. They are now being trained for the full races by P. MenchacbH, the brave jocke> who rode Dutty Dimple so successfully, aud who rode Wildidle when he won the great race at Oakland against such horses as Lucky B., Jocko. McKinstry aud others. That was a great day for the rubbers of Wildidle. I shall never forget a darkey who stood around the pool-stand with fifteen dollars iu his hand anxious to buy a pool. Lucky B. would sell for two hun- dred. Jooko reserved and some other have third and the field for thirty and forty. At last the darkey bought a pool for fourteen dollars, which called for over three hundred, aud when he bought it he remarked, "Won't I's have a time if I wins."

The intention of the Directors of this Association is to make this place a central point for racing In California. They recognize the fact, that in order to do>o. they have got to give large purses in order to ge' first-class horses. Knowing they havd as well-appointed grounds and as good a track as there Is in Cali- fornia, having first-class stabling and the best Club House on any track in California, and plenty of fine grass for horses the whole year, and by dealing justly and fairly with the horsemen, we hope to receive their patronage. We are situated about half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which makes It an accessible point for the patronage of the whole State. Being aware that the responsibility, to a great extent, of the Association, is not known outside of our own State, we herewith at.ach a certificate, Bigned by the Banks of this City, as to the responsibility of the Association.

Steven*' Ointment, « Jo mba nil's ~ERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. Sexsmith is practicing hard with the intention of lowering the Pacific Coast record for the pole vault at the games of the California Amateur Athletic Club next month. William Zehfus, the pedestrian, announces his intention of appearing on the track again this season. He will prob- ably oppose C. M. Yates at the champion meetiug of the C. A. A. C. The men are evenly matched, and should finish close together. The question is, will Coffin and Galney receive a start from Jarvis at the next out-door meeting? Ooe of the athletic clubs should hold an in-door meeting at the Mechanics' Pavilion during the coming winter. In the past those in-door tonrnalnents have always been well patronized, and now that there is such a great interest taken in athletics, there is every reason to believe that an evening handicap meeting at the Pavilion would be hailed with delight, not only by the athletes themselves, but by the general public. It i>i nigh time that the O. A. C. was issuing its programme of games for September 9th. Dave Egan of the C. A. A. C. has declared his intention of giving np "cigarettes" in the near future. He vows that he will train hard fur the games next month, and if all goes well he expects to do the "hundred" in less than 10:1$. Purcell will probably not compete in the Admission Day games, as his business will not allow him to train, and some training is necessary in order to overcome severe handicaps. Should the track at the new grounds of the 0. A. C. bd in good order on September 9th, several records will undoubt- edly be broken. The O. A. C. should include a Bteeplechase, a running Lop, step and jump, and an obstruction race on their pro- gramme for Admission Day. The habit of making changes in programmes at athletic meetings should he done away with. IN THE SCRF. At the quarterly meetiDg of the Terrace Swimming Club, held last Sunday, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing term. President, George Dall; vice-President, Joe Greeobaum; Secretary, William Hunt; Treasurer, George W. Spiller; Captain, John H. Vollmer. The graceful a d daring evolutions of the famous Olympian, George A. Dall, loctte much admiration at the Terrace Swim- ming Baths. This genial athlete is an aquatic wonder, and his imitation of the porpoise is inimitable. The critics of Monterey are unanimous in their opin- ion that Misses Birdie Fair and Alice Rutherford are the two most graceful swimmers at that famous resort. Jack Vollmer, uf the Terrace Swimming CJub, is an excel- lent high and long diver. On several occasions Mr. Yollmer has remained under water for more than a minute. Peter J. Fay, the well-known amateur swimmer, ia train- ing at the Shelter Cove Baths, and the chances are that he will accept Pinkham's challenge to swim a one hundred yard match race. The proprietors of the Harbor View Baths should anchor a raft a couple of hundred yards out from the shore in order to afford long distance swimmers a chance to rtst themselves, the tides in that neighborhood being so strong and uncertain that a bather is liable to get exhausted at any moment, and with no raft at hand his chances of escape from drowning would be very small. The operation of changing the water in the Crystal Swim- ming Baths, which is done every day, is worth an hour's study. It comes clear and bright from far out in the clean tide from the sea, and is warmed as it enters. THE WHEELMEN. SiDce Elwell married he has been unable to find time to train and in ail probability he will never appear on the track again. Fred Cook has grown exceedingly "fat" of late and says that there is too much trouble attached to reduciLg. He has also joined the retired band. Henry Lichtenstein is practicing hard for the O. A. C. games and hopes to be able to win a medal. A bicycle tournament will be held at the Haight Street Grouuds in the fall. The wheelmen are grumbling becanse the track at the new training grounds of the O. A. C. will only be six laps to the mile. A bicycle track sbould be at lease a quarter of a mile in circumference. On a small track it is impossible to make fast time, and there is much daDger attached to the Bharp turns. H. A. Mathews is one of the best long distance riders in California, and c*n make it pietty lively for any of the "Boys" up a steep hill. AT THE OARS. The Station B Post-Office Crew has resumed practice. Quite a number of amateur crews were out last Sunday, and several impromptu races took place. T Litre is some talk of organizing a rowing club at the North Beach. Suoh a club is needed there, and if organized would no doubt meet with success. CLUB JOTTINGS. Cress Danger, sportsman, athlete, musician and general genius, has returned to the place in the Custom House which he filled for many years so acceptably. To-day a party of athletes leaves for a summer outing, which embraces a lot of champions. Headed by Ed A. Kolb, with Ed. RyaD as adjutant, DeWitt C. Davis as sutler, Prof. George] Miehling of the Olympic Club as cook, and Prof. Joe Acton of the California Athletic Club as cook's helper, the party will make it sultry for anybody who thinks he can down the world in wrestliDg. Martin's place ten miles from Cazadero, on the headwaters of the Qualala, is the objective point, where deer, trout and bear abound. Prof. Miehling desires to try Samson's feat, killing a bear by turning him inside out with a "tail holt" taken via the throat. The chances are the bear will be Miehling on the Professor before the bout is finished. Professor Acton is said to be a lovely cook's helper — he can boil potatoes without any oversight. Whether Ed. Kolb will be accompanied by his sou or not cannot be learned. Secretary J. J. Jamison, of the Golden Gale Athletic Club, states that his club has no intention of applying for member- ship to the California Amateur Athletic Association. The G. G. A. C. is one of the associate clubs of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association, and at the next out-door handi- cap meeting of 'the Oi>mpic Athleiic Club a strong team of the Golden Gate Athletes will struggle for supremacy against the teams of the other associate clubs. The fiist "member's" out-door meeting of the C. A. A. C. will be held at the new training grounds at Harbor Yiew some time next month. All the events will be handicap, and valuable medals will be awarded the different winners. The Pacific Athletic Club will apply for admission to the P. C. A. A. A. in the near future. This is encouraging to the association, and its next championship meeting will no doubt be a monster affair. The following circular has just been issued bv the Direc- tors of the G. G. A. C: At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Athletic Club, held June 25, 1S89, a committee wps appointed for the purpose of improving the annex to the Club, wherebv young men (for a reduced initiation fee and dues), would be entitled to the use of the Club apparatus, etc. — in fact, have all the privileges of regular members, except that of witness, ing the monthly contests. At the regular meeting on July 9th the committee presented the following report, which was unanimously adopted; The development of man's physical powers has always been his study, in ancient as well as in modern times. In truth, the higher man's civilization the more earnest his search for the best means of developing his powers to the highest point of perfection in endurance and strength. In our codeges of learning the cultivation of the phvsical powers is an indispensable as that of the mental powers. Exercise is deemed as essential to the mind as study. Athletic clubs abound all over the land, where men, young and old, amateur and professional, may enjoy the exercise and training the body is ambitious for. Some run, some ride, some wrestle, but the hobby of the times seems to run to boxing — and numerous clubs are organized to encourage and protect this sport, and such prominence is given to it that the impression someMmea erroneously goes out that it is the Bole purpose of a club's existence. We, however, desire to say to the world that while we keep abreast of the times in boxing matters, we do not lose sight of the necessity of general physical exercise and develop- ment. Among our young men especially do we seek to en- courage the love of exercise. Our club is open, our appli- ances and instructors at hand, and our ambitious amateurs have abundant opportunity for attaining the highest profici- ency in all athletic sporta. That they have availed them- selves of these opportunities is evidenced by their success in the recent tournament. To encourage the development of amateur talent, we have an annex to the Golden G«te Club for symmetrically and healthfully developing the physical powers of voung men. The admission to such annex is $1.50 Initiation Fee, and the dues are $1.00 per month, which entitles the members to all the advantages and privileges oi the club, except that of wit* nessing exhibitions not held under their own auspices. J. A. Stun bach, President. J. J. Jamison, Secretary. OLYMPIC WRESTLING TOURNAMENT. On Thursday evening last at the Olympic Club an amateur wrestling tournament in catch-as-catch-can style was begun. The referee was Mr. W. B. Short, 0. C. Judges, Major J. \V. Tompkins, Reliance Club, and J. B. Tibbatts, O. C. Timers, James Jeris and S. Y. Casabv, The first pair, in feather weights, were Mr. Eugene S. Yan -Court, 0. A C, 112 pounds, and F. A. Grimm, 0. A. C, 125 poands. The men went to work at S:22, both being in fair condition, Short rather the bett«r. Grimm was the stronger, and Short the quicker and most experienced. Most of the work was done by Short, he being on top all the time. After ten min- utes Yan Court took the bout with a neck lock and a roll. If Grimm had taken more chances he would have done bet- ter. The second pair in feather weights were C. E. Wilson, O. A. C, Javenile, 125 pounds, and R. C. Jones, O. A. C, 125 pounds. Both stripped well, and went to work in lively fashion, Wilson constantly inquiring, "How's that? wnenever in tumbling about his opponent's shoulders were brought within 8ix inches of the mat. The men wrestled twenty minutes without fall, and, according to rale, the wrestlers were given three minutes' rest. Resuming after a rub- down, they went to work vigorously, but were so evenly matched that neither could secure an advantage. After ten minutes, neither having gained a fall, the rule stopped them, but as neither had done decisive work, judgment was sus- pended and the men ordered to remain in readiness to resume. While the light weights were getting ready Vice-President Hammond stated that the tournament was for the champion- ship of the West at the various weights, and the judges con- sequently desired to give each contestant the fullest oppor- tunity to display his skill. About the out-door exercising ground scheme Mr. Hammond said that after appointing a committee to select ground the great expense rather deterred the directors. There was a feeling of lukewarmness on the part of certain members who cared for nothing but in-door life. However, a block of land had been leased and arrange- ments made to expend at least two thousand dollars iu erect- ing a house, track, etc. The ground was nowr being fenced and cleared. The committee expected to receive a fair amount from the market-stieet Cable Company. The ground selected was block 605, bounded by Sth and 9th avenues and H street and is two or three blocks from the Haight s.reet line. The first pair of light weights were J. F. O'Conner G. G. A. C, 135£ lbs., and L. Greenbaum O. A. C, 128 lbs. Both were on the defensive from the handshake. In eight minutes after O'Conner bad been on topmost of the time, Greenbaum got on top and soon put a hammer lock on O'Conner and won the fall. Second drawing light weights were W. P. Henry O. A. C, 130 lbs., and R. Y. Cole O. A. C, 139 lbs. Both were keen, but Cole was too clever, and won the fall with a half Nelson and Crotch lock in fifty seconds. Messrs. Jones aDd Wilson, of the feather weights, were then brought on to finish their unsettled bout. They were as lively as at first, but too evenly matched to do more than give a pretty exhibition of their style. The time was wrestled out and decision suspended. The middle-weights, E A. Kolb O. A. C, 152 lbs , and P. P. Bernhard O. A. C, 136 lbs., then took the carpet, Kolb immediately going to the mat, and Bernhard putting in a good deal of ineffective work on him. Kolb Boon showed superior skill, however, and in 9 minutes and 19 seconds rolled his muscular opponent flat upon his shoulders and won Ihe bout. Fred F. Caire O. A. G. 163j lbs. and R. Y. Cole 139J lbs. went into their bout as though they enjoyed it. Cole showed more knowledge of the game and although only a juvenile, he won the bout in 1 minute and 33 seconds/with an arm roll. Jones and Wilson again were called out and wrestled ten minutes and were then given three minutes rest when they pitched in again. Wilson immediately protesting that Jones had put something improper on his hair. The referee ex- amined the head but found tbat it had merely been rubbed with alcohol in which a little oil of sassafras had been dis- solved. Judge Tibbatts remarking "sassafras is very lccky, a regular Mascot." Another teu minutes and a rest, and then on resuming, in 5 minutes and Sseeonds. Mr. Jones won a fair fall and the bout. Messrs. R. Y. Cole, O. A. C. 139| pounds, and P. P, Bernhard, O. A. C, 133|, then took the floor as light weights both being entered also in the middle weight class. Both were good, Cole seeming the better, but Bernhard took the fall in five minutes, 5i seconds. The two light weights Greenbaum and Jones then took the mat, Greenbaum winning in 2 m, 24 sec. The bout closed the evenings sport, which was resumed last evening too late for our present issue. Horse- Did yon ever experience the sensation of lying in bed with 1mperative orders from the doctor that you must not move out of it? Well, that has been my experience for the better half of a week since last the Bbeeder and Sportsman ap- peared, and, consequently, the pencil has not performed its usual amount of work this week. While weary of waiting to get up, and almost worn out from the effects of idleness, the idea occurred to write, and thus relieve the monotony. But what about? — that was the question. It is horse from one week's end to another, and it might just as well be horse now. Webster gives the definition of horse as "a hoofed quad- ruped used for draught or the saddle." Bat that is not what I am after now, it ia the etymon of the word I desire to get at- And how the time did pass, hunting up old books, and read- ing excerpts from old authors that lived so many years ago, that in the present day they are almost forgotten, and what a fund of information can be gained from these old writers. They had no Maud S., nor yet a Tenbroeck by which to guage of the speed of a horse, and yet in the very earliest days we find the primitive meaning of "horse" to be "the rapid animal." One would naturally suppose that horse back riding had been known from time immemorial, but such is not the case, for the earliest records fail to sho^ that the Greeks knew anything of equestrianism, in the year 650 B. C. We find further on that riding and cavalry service was known during the Grecian Supremacy, probably about the year 450 B. C. In the first days of the Roman Republic, great attention was paid to the cavalry, and it was the most important branch of the service. The ancient Britons used horses for their war chariots, when assailed by the Romans, but at that day, they knew nothing whatever of the great uses to which their equines might be pat for war purposes. As ages advanced the horses became better known, and we find that Athelstan had an enactment passed to prevent the exportation of horses, and imported running horses from Germany, and also high class horses from Spain, to improve the nation's breed. From the days of King Edward III, of England, the thoroughbred began to have a standing, and from the great care taken in breeding, racing was established, to determine which cross was the best to produce speed. But here we are meaaderiBg away from the primitive word which we started out to find, and for a beginning we will have to go to the Aryan languages in which it is extremely interesting to note that the word is nearly Bimilar in all of them. Taking the first, the Sanscrit, the word used is Acva; in the Zenc% Acpa answers to the same, while in the Persian it is Asp; in Latin it is Equus; the Greeks called the noble animal Hippos, derived from a primitive form which was only preserved by the iEolians; on appealing to the Geelic, there is to be found the old fashioned Epos; the Goths had a fitting word in Aihvus, and in the old High German the word in common use was Ehu. All the other nations which are of preclassical date, or even classical for that matter, have had no proper word of their own, but in nearly every instance a word has bsen borrowed from the Aryan forms. Of the more modern nations, the following words are used: German, pferd; Holland, paard; French, cheval; Spanish, caballo; Russian, loschad; Turkish, sukh; Arabic, hozan; Danish, hest. In England, shortly before the Norman conquest, a horse was rated at being worth thirty shillings, while a mare was supposed to be worth twenty shillings. It must be born in mind, however, that money was worth fifteen times moie than it is at present. The first race course of which there is any mention made in old English works, was laid ont on the site of the present Smithrield markrt in London. Fitz Steven, who lived at that period, gives the following account of how the contests were conducted: "When a race is to be run by horses which in their kind are strong and fleet, a shout is raised, and common horses are ordered to withdraw from out the way. Two jockeys then, or sometimes three, as the match may he made, prepare themselves for the contest, such as are used to ride, and know how to manage their horses with judgment, the grand point being to prevent a competitor from getting before them. The horse-, on their part, are not without emulation. They tremble and are impatient and continually in motion. At last, the signal once given, they hurry aloDg with unremit- ting velocity; the jockeys, inspired with the thoughts of applause and the hopes of victory, clapping spurs to their willing steeds, brandishing their whips and cheering them with their cries." It would Dot seem that jockejing bad changed much iu the last 600 years, except that some of th riders try to see how Ojauy horses can reach the wire they do. But here is the doctor to examine the totgae and pulse, and "horse" must be dropped for the time beii 44 3jjfe* gmtler arrtt jgjnnfemsw. July 20 Memoirs of Lexineton- Continued. These proposals were never accepted, and the discussion led to the Great Stale Stakes, which we will procoed to give, as given by the New Orleans Picayune: '•Rarely has a lovelier spring day opened on more brilliant hopes and expectations than that which yesterday dawned npon the thousands who, to a greater or less degree, were rushing forward to the great event of the day with the most pleasureable expectations. The race! the great struggle of States for superiority in that contest which had for months enlisted so much feeling, so much State pride, so much indi- vidual competition, had been the ruling idea in all circles, and scarcely any other topic had been discussed or thought of. Myriad's of "strangers, as the wonderful day approached, had thronged our city, and almost nothing else was talked of 'but the probable or possible result of this great sporting affair. Opinions of every kind and shade were freely ex- pressed. Each one of the gallant States that bad so chival- rously come iuto the arrangemaot had its hosts of representa- tives on the ground, and each indulged in earnest and elo- quent eulogies upon his favorite. Banters were uffered, bets were made, speculations were indulged in, predictions were ventured, hopes and fears were expressed, and the town topic that lasted up to the very moment when the tap of the drum gave signal for the start. Even then the ladies caught the infections excitement, and made up their pretty purses. The fair Mobelians were strong on Highlander, and the Ken- tucky beiles wondered how any reasonable person could donbt that Lexington would assnreoly win. Mississippi relied confidently on Lecomte, without making much ado; while Louisiana" deported herself modestly, and hoped her Arrow would go straight to the mark. The contest had been worth provoking, had it been alone for the pleasure arising from the sparkling of so many joyous laughs as sprung from its discussion. "The day was fair, bright, clear and mild; the sky was all blue, the air all balm, the earth all beautiful. A lovlier day was never born of spring — litter to be the first of spring's fairest months. The warmest expectations that could have been formed of what the coming 'day would bring forth,' must have been more thin doubled by the first glimpse at the morn that broke upon their waking vision. It was a day formed by the hand uf Nature expressly for pleasure, and there seemed no room for so much as the possibility of dis- appointment. From an early hour al! the roads, avenues an.i means of approach, by every possible kind of convey- ance, were put in requisition. The city was comparatively deserted. Business seemed (we, who were not among the couldn't-get-aways, were told) to be suspended; everybody who was anybody, or warned to be deemed anybody, had gone to the race. Dinner hours were postponed, engagements were forgotten, and should not at all wonder if bank notifi- cations, in sjine instances, slipped some memories. The race for everybody, and everybody for the race." The variety of " the modes adopted, by which to reach the course, was a source of no little amusement to the curious lookers-on. The luxurious private carriage, taking its leisure and rolling on with confident security of being in time with- out harrying, and as it turned out for a dashing pair of bloods, regarding its rivals with a bland, feslina le?ite kind of compassion; the coach, the cab, the cart, the carriage of every sore, with one horse or four, and some even with the humble animal that the prophet Balaam was not ashamed to ride, made up a variety that was, in its way, far from unex- citing. And then the plodders on foot, or en cheval (whose name is legion), and the many passengers on cars (whose names were many legions) all helped to (swell the great stream of iife, whose ocean was the race course. Such a moving panomma has never before been exhibited in these parts. On entering the enclosure we were struck with the excel- lence of the arrangements that had been made by the pro- prietor for admission of the proper persons at the proper places. There was no unnecessary jostling or crowding to the inconvenience of those who came in good time, and who had provided themselves with the means of ingress, an- nounced as necessary by the management. The next thing we saw that gratified ns especially was the evident disposi- tion of the occupants of all parts of the course appropriated to spectators to regard the regulations promulgatt-d by the proprietor. And this remark will fairly apply to the entire day. The liberal attendance of ladies was a delightfal feature of the day. There were brilliant representatives of the beauty and taste of our fair Slate and ninny of her 6ister States. There were besides Louisiana belles and beauties, belles and beauties from Alabama, Mississippi and Kentucky, who took a most praiseworthy interest in the incidents of the occasion. The presence of ladies has always a benign influence, but we have never seen it more pleasantly executed than in this instance. 1 here were a great many of our most distinguished citi- zens from all parts of the Southern country present, includ- ing governors, judges, mayors and other officials, not to name all of whom, if any, would seem invidious, and we cannot remember half of them. Ex-President Fillmore and ex-Sec- rctaries Kennedy and Conrad attracted and received a great deal of atteniion, and were politely invited by the judges of the race to view it from the judges' stand. They seemed to take much interest in the sport, and in the intervals, in the society of the distinguished company assembled in the mem- bers' and ladies' stand. There must have been fully twenty thousand persons with- in the enclosure of the Metairie course upon this great and interesting occasion. Yet we never have seen more perfect order preserved among a large body of men than that which prevailed throughout the day. We were not cognizant of a uingle dereliction of the duty that one man owes to another. in any single respect; no drunkeness, no dispates, no quar- rels, no unseemly or boisterous remarks. The incidents and result of the race we subjoin. But in closing our necessarily hasty and cursory general remarks, we cannot forbear noting the fact that Old Kentucky had, and fully avai.ed herself of, a glorioos opportunity of manifesting her characteristic State pride npon this occasion. It was inspiring to see the bright eyes of her daughters sparkling with joy, and to hear their ringing laughs and exultant shouts, is the champion of their State was going on "conquerine and to conquer," and add- ing another to the already many noble trophies that have be-n gallantly won by Old Keutnck. And now to incidents of the race: "The judges' btand was ocenpiod by ex President Fillmore n'ld several other distinguished stranger-^, besides the judges the race. The jndges selected by the subscribers ot the take were as follows: Colonel Wade Hampton was the judge .i.osen to represent Alabama, Col. -I. J. Hughes for Lonis Mr. Robert Evanfl for Kentucky; Judge l'n.kney Smith for Mississippi, and Judge J. G. Cock*, the i'p aident of the Meluirie Jockey Club, presiding. The betting foi everal days previous to the race and yesterday morning, in the city, was brisk and heavy, Highlander being generally the first favorite and Lexington the second favorite. The field was frequently backed against Highlander at odds of two to one. On arriving at the course the crowd for a time appeared to feel impatient, fearing that they could not have a ohance to lay out their money. Pocket books new open; and for an hour the betting was very lively, but not much changed from what it has been. We heard many bets made as follows: Even between Highlander and Lexington; $50 to $100 that Highlander would take the firBt beat. There was of course a variety of bats concerning many minor points and the par- ticular placing of the horses. The course was very heavy from the previous rain, and the strong wind which prevailed bad so hardened the mud that it was very stiff and unyield- ing, clinging to the hoof with great tenacity." First Heat— The horses came promptly up to the stand, and moved off without difficulty, well together, and passed around the first turn in the following order: Lexington lead- ing. Arrow second, Lecomte third, with Highlander trailing. In this position the first mile was run, all being within a fair distance of each other. On entering the second mile Lecomte went up and lapped Lexington for a short distance, but they all soon resumed their original positions for the remainder of the second mile and the whole of the third mile, at about the same rate of speed. On making the first turn of the fourth mile Arrow began to feel the effects of the heavy mud aDd slackened his speed, Highlander passing him, taking the third position and gradually making up the gap between himself and his two competitors. Lecomte coming home, pushed for the lead; but Lexington held his course steadily and won the heat under a strong pull by abcut three lengths, in 8:08$, distancing Arrow. The Kentuckians, who are a famous people for shouting, gave a loud cheer for their favorite and the betting people began lo make new arrange- ments. "Second Heat — After much discussing on minor points the betting appeared to settle down to about two to one on Lex- ington against the field, Lecomte generally being considered as the chief reliance of the fielders. Highlander's friends were in bad spirits, but some of them conteuded that he had not yet exerted himself, that he ran nearly all the first heat far from the pole, and they, therefore, took up the odds offered against him. On starting for the second heat Highlander took the lead on the first turn, with Lexington second, but all well to- gether. On the backstretch Lecomte ma^e a brush and took the lead of the party, entering the second mile in advance, and Lexington second. In this position they ran the mile. At the entrance of the third mile Highlander made his first and only brush; he went np to Lexington and nearly passed him for a short distance, but Lexington snon shook him off round the turn, Lecomte leading throughout the mile by nearly eight lengths. On the first quarter of the fourth mile Highlander began to exhibit distress, and gave up his stride near the same spot and in the same manner as Arrow bad done in the first? heat. Lexington, on the back stretch, now went to work in earnest, gradually closing np the gap on Lecomte, both striving hard for the supremacy and the pace increasing. On the third quarter Lexington locked Lecomte, and they swung into the homestretch side by side, the excite- ment running high amongst the anxious thousands and cheers rending the air. Down they came home, rushing like a torrent, each at the top of his speed, as if life depended upon every jump, but the speed of Lexington was superior and he shot past the judges, amidst cheers of the ladies and deafening shouts of the men, in 8:04. the last mile being run in quicker time than any other in the race. Oar readers who were not present at the rnce would sadly misjudge the merits of this great contest, did they only make up their opinion of the severity of the 6traggle by glancing at the time, which we acknowledge would appear slow if the track had been in good condition. Under all the circum- stances of the case, the race was an exceJltnt one; its varying chances, its uncertain termination up to the last moment, the severity of the contest, the amount of money at stake, and the immense number of persons in attendance, will render it a brilliant event in the racing annals of this country.
